Ⅰ.阅读理解
[2021·成都市毕业班第二次诊断检测]People
often
ask
how
I
decide
where
to
go,
and
I
usually
get
hesitated
with
my
response,
as
I
don't
actually
have
an
answer
to
that.
For
more
than
three
years,
I
have
been
making
movements
with
the
universe,
traveling
from
one
location
to
another
at
seemingly
random
intervals.
A
friend
of
mine
posted
a
message
online
asking
if
anybody
was
interested
in
a
job
teaching
English
in
China.
So
I
jumped
on
a
coming
plane.
Walking
into
my
first
class,
I
was
bombed
by
16
strange
children
who
couldn't
understand
a
single
word
out
of
my
mouth.
When
I
walked
out
of
my
last
class,
six
months
later,
I
had
made
a
personal
connection
with
them.
Some
of
my
students
could
barely
speak
Chinese
or
English.
But
somehow,
through
determination
and
force,
we
were
connected.
Every
class
was
not
only
a
lesson
in
English,
but
in
good
fellowship,
being
a
role
model,
being
a
parent,
and
being
a
friend.
I
became
a
father
to
some,
an
older
brother
to
others.
I
was
loved
and
adored,
feared
and
hated.
I
had
to
learn
discipline,
and
not
only
how
to
deal
it
out,
but
how
to
discipline
and
conduct
myself
as
a
role
model.
But
in
between
the
discipline,
I
had
to
make
learning
a
fun
experience.
And
they
forgave
me
when
I
yelled
or
got
upset.
And
when
they
lost
their
tempers
or
bruised
their
knees
or
missed
their
mommies,
I
forgave
them,
kissed
their
bruises
better,
and
gave
them
a
shoulder
to
cry
on.
Teaching
English
in
China
is,
by
far,
the
most
emotionally
rewarding
and
fulfilling
thing
I've
ever
challenged
myself
to
do.
I
have
walked
away
from
this
job
with
a
softened
heart,
knowing
that
I
have
made
a
difference
in
so
many
lives.
I
want
that.
I
want
my
teaching
to
be
reciprocal
because
they
taught
me
how
to
unconditionally
open
my
heart
and
how
to
be
a
more
loving
and
patient
person.

[2021·潍坊市高考模拟]Deep
in
the
forest,
my
husband
and
I
had
fun
climbing
over
and
crawling
under
the
downed
trees
that
blocked
the
dirt
path
before
us.
It
was
May,
yet
we
walked
up
a
snow?covered
hill.
When
we
noticed
our
jeans
were
wet
up
to
our
knees,
it
did
not
dampen
our
spirits.
Not
once
did
we
say,
“Let's
turn
around.”
This
was
our
vacation,
and
we
were
on
an
adventure.
Little
did
we
know
this
was
the
beginning
of
many
more
surprises.
The
trail
was
marked
as
an
easy
one?kilometer
hike,
yet
we
were
already
walking
a
long
distance.
Our
lightheartedness
stopped
when
we
came
out
into
a
clearing
and
saw
a
parking
lot
without
our
rental
car
in
it.
As
my
eyes
scanned
the
surroundings,
nothing
looked
familiar.
My
heart
raced.
I
realized
we
were
lost
in
a
national
park
that
did
not
officially
open
for
another
week.
Usually,
I
am
the
calm
one
in
the
relationship,
but
my
husband
surprised
me
with
his
calmness.
This
did
not
comfort
me;
in
fact,
it
heightened
my
fear.
As
we
walked,
I
asked
my
husband
to
call
for
help,
but
there
was
no
cell
phone
signal
in
this
isolated
(偏僻的)
area.
It
was
awfully
quiet
except
for
our
footsteps
hitting
the
road,
and
my
heavy
breathing.
My
husband
suggested
we
conserve
energy
and
walk
slower.
With
each
step
on
the
road,
my
feet
and
thighs
hurt
while
my
mind
raced
with
thoughts
about
people
who
got
lost
in
the
Canadian
woods
for
days.
My
vision
sharpened.
I
noticed
everything
around
me:
the
trees,
rocks
and
snow.
I
thought
we
could
eat
the
snow
on
the
ground
in
case
we
needed
water.
For
the
first
time
in
my
life,
I
was
ready
and
willing
to
get
a
ride,
but
we
did
not
find
a
single
car
on
the
road.
We
focused
on
each
other,
made
joint
decisions
and
connected
through
gratitude.
We
managed
to
stay
on
the
main
road
and
walked
straight
on.

【能力提升】
Ⅰ.阅读理解
1.A 考查推理判断。根据第一段中的“For
more
than
three
years,
I
have
been...seemingly
random
intervals.”可以推断,作者在来中国之前并没有稳定的工作,故A项正确。
2.A 考查推理判断。根据第二段中的“Walking
into
my
first
class,
I
was
bombed
by
16
strange
children
who
couldn't
understand
a
single
word
out
of
my
mouth.”可推知,作者第一次见到学生时,情况是很艰难的,故选A。touching意为“动人的,令人同情的”;inspiring意为“鼓舞人心的”。
3.D 考查推理判断。根据第三段中的“I
had
to
learn
discipline,
and
not
only
how
to
deal
it
out,
but
how
to
discipline
and
conduct
myself
as
a
role
model.”可推知,作者善于自我反思,并结合“I
forgave
them,
kissed
their
bruises
better,
and
gave
them
a
shoulder
to
cry
on.”可推知,作者是体贴的,故选D。
4.B 考查词义猜测。本句是一个主从复合句,根据原因状语从句“because
they
taught
me
how
to
unconditionally
open
my
heart
and
how
to
be
a
more
loving
and
patient
person.”可知,因为作者的学生教会了他如何无条件地敞开心扉,如何成为一个更有爱心、更有耐心的人,所以他希望自己从事的教学工作是互惠的(自己和学生都有所收获),B项的含义与画线词的含义最为接近,故选B。
Ⅱ.完形填空
1.C 根据上下文推测,作者的姐姐患有脑瘫,需要借助拐杖行走,经常会有人盯着她看(stare)并指指点点。
2.A 根据上文可知,因为姐姐脑瘫,作者她们交不到任何朋友,所以作者开始讨厌(hate)姐姐。
3.D 因为作者讨厌姐姐,所以她竭尽所能地去报复姐姐。get
back
at
sb.“向某人报复”符合语境。put
up
with“容忍,忍受”;make
use
of“利用”;keep
track
of“与……保持联系”。
4.B 当作者十二岁时,妈妈对其行为非常不满,她认为作者年龄足够大,能知道是非。故选old。
5.B 由上下文可知,妈妈给作者的那本厚厚的书饱含姐姐的深情,从而改变了作者对残疾姐姐的看法。
6.A 由下文第四段中的“One
picture
stood
out”可知选A。
7.D 由下文给出的对比可知,作者和姐姐唯一不同之处(difference)是:作者看起来很小和安静,而姐姐被接上了管子、针管和医疗机器。
8.C 由后面的转折(虽然她总是微笑)可推知,你仔细看的话可以看出她眼中的痛苦(pain)。因为姐姐正在治疗,所以会疼痛。
9.A 根据下文中的“hugged
her
__13__
like
in
the
picture”可知选A。
10.C 由语境可知,空处与cry对应,故选C。
11.B 回首过去作者对姐姐的种种不好,作者意识到自己非常的自私。下文的“I
had
never
put
myself
in
Dawn's
shoes.”也是提示。selfish“自私的”。
12.D 作者此时幡然悔悟,此前对姐姐太无情,所以感到非常羞愧(ashamed)。
13.C 作者亲吻了姐姐,并且像照片里一样紧紧地拥抱了姐姐。
14.A 由下文作者提到的不让任何人以任何理由去伤害姐姐可知,作者成了姐姐的保护人(protector)。
15.D 由下文提到的作者是姐姐的另一半,姐姐是作者的世界可知,作者和姐姐是不可分离的(inseparable)。

参考范文:
My
husband
suddenly
spotted
a
small
building
on
a
hill
in
the
distance.
In
no
time
did
we
find
ourselves
heading
for
it.
We
were
filled
with
hope
and
excitement
to
find
such
a
building
in
the
middle
of
nowhere.
We
climbed
up
the
hill
at
a
swinging
pace
as
if
all
the
pains
were
gone.
As
we
approached,
a
sign
came
into
sight,
which
read:
Administration
Office.
However,
it
was
not
open
for
business.
The
empty
hall
made
us
nervous
all
at
once.
We
stood
there
hopelessly,
wondering
what
to
do
next.
Just
then,
a
friendly
woman
appeared,
saying,
“Hello.”
I
could
barely
hold
back
my
enthusiasm
and
blurted
out,
“We're
lost!”
She
comforted
us
and
opened
a
room
for
us
to
take
a
break.
Seeing
we
were
cold
and
hungry,
she
treated
us
to
hot
chocolate.
After
studying
the
map,
we
figured
out
that
our
car
was
parked
over
three
kilometers
away.
She
offered
us
a
ride
back
to
our
car
and
we
accepted
gladly.
I
felt
relieved
to
see
our
rental
car
again.
What
a
blessing
to
have
such
an
unforgettable
experience!
