阅读理解人物故事类
I、2021年高考真题
（2021·新高考I卷·B篇）
By
day,
Robert
Titterton
is
a
lawyer.
In
his
spare
time
though
he
goes
on
stage
beside
pianist
Maria
Raspopova—not
as
a
musician
but
as
her
page
turner.
"I'm
not
a
trained
musician,
but
I've
learnt
to
read
music
so
I
can
help
Maria
in
her
performance."
Mr
Titterton
is
chairman
of
the
Omega
Ensemble
but
has
been
the
group's
official
page
turner
for
the
past
four
years.
His
job
is
to
sit
beside
the
pianist
and
turn
the
pages
of
the
score
so
the
musician
doesn't
have
to
break
the
flow
of
sound
by
doing
it
themselves.
He
said
he
became
just
as
nervous
as
those
playing
instruments
on
stage.
"A
lot
of
skills
are
needed
for
the
job.
You
have
to
make
sure
you
don't
turn
two
pages
at
once
and
make
sure
you
find
the
repeats
in
the
music
when
you
have
to
go
back
to
the
right
spot,
"?Mr
Titterton
explained.
Being
a
page
turner
requires
plenty
of
practice.
Some
pieces
of
music
can
go
for
40
minutes
and
require
up
to
50
page
turns,
including
back
turns
for
repeat
passages.
Silent
onstage
communication
is
key,
and
each
pianist
has
their
own
style
of
"nodding"
to
indicate
a
page
turn
which
they
need
to
practise
with
their
page
turner.
But
like
all
performances,
there
are
moments
when
things
go
wrong.?"I
was
turning
the
page
to
get
ready
for
the
next
page,
but
the
draft
wind
from
the
turn
caused
the
spare
pages
to
fall
off
the
stand,
"?Mr
Titterton
said.?"Luckily
I
was
able
to
catch
them
and
put
them
back."
Most
page
turners
are
piano
students
or
up-and-coming
concert
pianists,
although
Ms
Raspopova
has
once
asked
her
husband
to
help
her
out
on
stage.
"My
husband
is
the
worst
page
turner,
"?she
laughed.?"He's
interested
in
the
music,
feeling
every
note,
and
I
have
to
say:?'Turn,
turn!'"?"Robert
is
the
best
page
turner
I've
had
in
my
entire
life."
1.What
should
Titterton
be
able
to
do
to
be
a
page
turner?
A.Read
music.
B.Play
the
piano.
C.Sing
songs.
D.Fix
the
instruments.
2Which
of
the
following
best
describes
Titterton's
job
on
stage?
A.Boring.
B.Well-paid.
C.Demanding.
D.Dangerous.
3What
does
Titterton
need
to
practise?
A.Counting
the
pages.
B.Recognizing
the?"nodding".
C.Catching
falling
objects.
D.Performing
in
his
own
style.
4Why
is
Ms
Raspopova's
husband?"the
worst
page
turner"??
A.He
has
very
poor
eyesight.
B.He
ignores
the
audience.
C.He
has
no
interest
in
music.
D.He
forgets
to
do
his
job.
【答案】ACBD
【解析】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了律师Robert
Titterton在空闲时间担任乐谱翻页者，配合钢琴家演出的故事。
1.细节理解题。根据题干信息be
able

do定位到第三段A
lot
of
skills
are
needed
for
the
job.
You
have
to
make

pages
at
once
and
make
sure
you
find
the
repeats
in
the
music
when
you
have
to
go
back
to
the
right
spot.可知，做一名page
turner需要能够找到音乐中重复的部分，然后翻回到乐谱正确的地方。因此做一名page
turner需要能够读懂音乐。故选A。

to
practice定位到第四段第一句Being
a
page
turner
requires
plenty
of
practice.这句话后面说明了page

4.细节理解题。根据题干信息the
worst
page
turner定位到最后一段。分析可知，说话人的丈夫总是过度沉迷于音乐本身而忘记翻页，以至于她必须告诉他该翻页了。故选D。
（2021·全国甲卷·C篇）
When
I
was
9,
we
packed
up
our
home
in
Los
Angeles
and
arrived
at
Heathrow,
London
on
a
gray
January
morning.
Everyone
in
the
family
settled
quickly
into
the
city
except
me.
Without
my
beloved
beaches
and
endless
blue-sky
days,
I
felt
at
a
loss
and
out
of
place.
Until
I
made
a
discovery.
Southbank,
at
an
eastern
bend
in
the
Thames,
is
the
center
of
British
skateboarding,
where
the
continuous
crashing
of
skateboards
left
your
head
ringing.
I
loved
it.
I
soon
made
friends
with
the
local
skaters.
We
spoke
our
own
language.
And
my
favorite:
Safe.
Safe
meant
cool.
It
meant
hello.
It
meant
don't
worry
about
it.
Once,
when
trying
a
certain
trick
on
the
beam（橫杆）,
I
fell
onto
the
stones,
damaging
a
nerve
in
my
hand,
and
Toby
came
over,
helping
me
up:
Safe,
man.
Safe.
A
few
minutes
later,
when
I
landed
the
trick,
my
friends
beat
their
boards
loud,
shouting:?"Safe!
Safe!
Safe!"??And
that's
what
mattered—landing
tricks,
being
a
good
skater.
When
I
was
15,
my
family
moved
to
Washington.
I
tried
skateboarding
there,
but
the
locals
were
far
less
welcoming.
Within
a
couple
of
years,
I'd
given
it
up.
When
I
returned
to
London
in
2004,
I
found
myself
wandering
down
to
Southbank,
spending
hours
there.
I've
traveled
back
several
times
since,
most
recently
this
past
spring.
The
day
was
cold
but
clear;
tourists
and
Londoners
stopped
to
watch
the
skaters.
Weaving（穿梭）
among
the
kids
who
rushed
by
on
their
boards,
I
found
my
way
to
the
beam.
Then
a
rail-thin
teenager,
in
a
baggy
white
T-shirt,
skidded（滑）
up
to
the
beam.
He
sat
next
to
me.
He
seemed
not
to
notice
the
man
next
to
him.
But
soon
I
caught
a
few
of
his
glances."I
was
a
local
here
20
years
ago,
"
I
told
him.
Then,
slowly,
he
began
to
nod
his
head."Safe,
man.
Safe.”
"Yeah,
"
I
said.“Safe."

Leslie
Nielsen's
childhood
was
a
difficult
one,
but
he
had
one
particular
shining
star
in
his
life—his
uncle,
who
was
a
well-known
actor.
The
admiration
and
respect
his
uncle
earned
inspired
Nielsen
to
make
a
career（职业）in
acting.
Even
though
he
often
felt
he
would
be
discovered
to
be
a
no-talent,
he
moved
forward,
gaining
a
scholarship
to
the
Neighborhood
Playhouse
and
making
his
first
television
appearance
a
few
years
later
in
1948.
However,
becoming
a
full-time,
successful
actor
would
still
be
an
uphill
battle
for
another
eight
yeas
until
he
landed
a
number
of
film
roles
that
finally
got
him
noticed.
But
even
then,
what
he
had
wasn't
quite
what
he
wanted.
Nielsen
always
felt
he
should
be
doing
comedy
but
his
good
looks
and
distinguished
voice
kept
him
busy
in
dramatic
roles.
It
wasn't
until
1980—32
years
into
his
career—that
he
landed
the
role
it
would
seem
he
was
made
for
in?Airplane!
That
movie
led
him
into
the
second
half
of
his
career
where
his
comedic
presence
alone
could
make
a
movie
a
financial
success
even
when
movie
reviewers
would
not
rate
it
highly.
Did
Nielsen
then
feel
content
in
his
career?
Yes
and
no.
He
was
thrilled
to
be
doing
the
comedy
that
he
always
felt
he
should
do,
but
even
during
his
last
few
year
he
always
had
a
sense
of
curiosity,
wondering
what
new
role
or
challenge
might
be
just
around
the
corner.
He
never
stopped
working,
never
retired.
Leslie
Nielsen's
devotion
to
acting
is
wonderfully
inspiring.
He
built
a
hugely
successful
career
with
little
more
than
plain
old
hard
work
and
determination.
He
showed
us
that
even
a
single
desire,
never
given
up
on,
can
make
for
a
remarkable
life.
1.Why
did
Nielsen
want
to
be
an
actor?
A.He
enjoyed
watching
movies.
B.He
was
eager
to
earn
money.
C.He
wanted
to
be
like
his
uncle.
D.He
felt
he
was
good
at
acting.
2.What
do
we
know
about
Nelsen
in
the
second
half
of
his
career?
A.He
directed
some
high
quality
movies.
B.He
avoided
taking
on
new
challenges.
C.He
focused
on
playing
dramatic
roles.
D.He
became
a
successful
comedy
actor.
3.What
does
Nielsen's
career
story
tell
us?
A.Art
is
long,
life
is
short.
B.He
who
laughs
last
laughs
longest.
C.It's
never
too
late
to
learn.
D.Where
there's
a
will
there's
a
way.
【答案】CDD
【解析】本文记叙文。文章介绍了著名影视明星Nielsen的成名之路。
1.细节理解题。根据第一段前两句
"Leslie
Nielsen's
childhood
was
a
difficult
one,
but
he
had
one
particular
shining
star
in
his
life—his
uncle,
who
was
a
well-known
actor.
The
admiration
and
respect
his
uncle
earned
inspired
Nielsen
to
make
a
career（职业）in
acting."
可知，尼尔森的叔叔是著名演员，叔叔赢得的钦佩和尊重激励他成为演员，故选C。
2.细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句话
"That
movie
led
him
into
the
second
half
of
his
career
where
his
comedic
presence
alone
could
make
a
movie
a
financial
success
even
when
movie
reviewers
would
not
rate
it
highly."
可知，在他职业生涯的后半段，他的喜剧表现已十分卓越，故选D。
3.推断题。根据最后一段最后一句
"He
showed
us
that
even
a
single
desire,
never
given
up
on,
can
make
for
a
remarkable
life."
可知，尼尔森的故事告诉我们只要不放弃便可成就非凡人生，即有志者事竟成（Where
there's
a
will
there's
a
way.）。
II、2021年高考模拟试题
（2021·诸暨市5月模拟·阅读理解A篇）
I’m
not
a
full-time
traveler.
I
spend
most
days
working
to
earn
a
living
just
like
you
do.
But
whenever
a
chance
arises
for
me
to
visit
a
far-off
country,
I
jump
at
it.
When
studying
abroad
in
New
Zealand,
I
travelled
extensively
all
over
the
country
with
two
friends.
We
booked
everything
from
whale
watching
to
a
private
flight
over
the
Southern
Alps,
and
racked
up
some
impressive
credit
card
bills.
Another
international
student
almost
looked
down
her
nose
at
our
pricey
adventures,
declaring
that
she
had
come
to
New
Zealand
to
study,
not
to
empty
her
savings
account
on
travel.
My
question
to
her
came.
Why
would
you
come
halfway
around
the
world
to
save
your
money
and
keep
your
nose
pressed
into
a
book
every
weekend?
Would
you
go
to
China
and
not
visit
the
Great
Wall
because
it
consumes
money?
Would
you
go
to
Italy
and
skip
visiting
the
Vatican
because
it
requires
an
admission
ticket?
I
know
where
I
would
like
my
life
to
go
in
the
coming
months
and
years.
But
there
are
no
guarantees
that
things
will
go
as
planned.
Practically,
nothing
will
go
as
planned.
“Oh,
I’ll
travel
when
I
retire.”
“I’ll
travel
when
the
kids
are
grown.”
“I’ll
travel
when
the
house
is
paid
off.”
How
often
we
hear
others
say
these?
I
hear
these
excuses
all
the
time.
But
you
know
what
occurs?
Age.
And
stress.
And,
well,
life.
Life
happens
and
by
that
time,
you
have
bad
knees
and
weak
lungs
and
you
simply
cannot
visit
all
those
places
you
dreamed
about
in
your
youth.
How
sad!
I
don’t
want
to
end
up
like
that,
holding
on
to
youthful
travel
dreams
that
will
never
be
reality.
So
I
often
think,
what
if
“sometime
later”
never
came?
So
if
you
are
privileged
enough
to
be
able
to
afford
to
travel,
then
you
should
attack
it
with
curiosity
and
energy
and
a
sense
of
adventure.
So
travel
young,
and
travel
far.
1.
Why
did
the
author
mention
his
travel
experience
in
New
Zealand?
A.
To
prove
his
belief
in
travel.
B.
To
show
his
enthusiasm
for
travel.
C.
To
attract
readers’
attention.
D.
To
recall
a
wonderful
experience.
2.
What
does
paragraph
5
mainly
talk
about?
A.
The
excuses
for
failing
to
travel
far.
B.
The
absolute
barriers
in
the
future
life.
C.
The
uncertainties
of
future
for
travel.
D.
The
regrets
of
missing
some
journeys.
3.
Why
is
the
author’s
writing
purpose?
A.
To
circulate
the
advantages
of
travel.
B.
To
share
his
own
travel
experience.
C.
To
convince
readers
to
travel
young.
D.
To
criticize
the
economical
students.
【答案】B
C
C
【解析】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。文中作者结合自身的旅行经历，来说明旅行应该趁着年轻，因为未来再去充满了不确定性。
1.推理判断题。根据第一段“I’m
not
a

I
spend
most

working

just
like

extensively
all

(在新西兰留学的时候，我和两个朋友走遍了整个国家。我们订了从观鲸到飞越南阿尔卑斯山的私人飞机的所有东西，还刷了不少信用卡。另一名国际学生几乎对我们昂贵的冒险不屑一顾，声称她来新西兰是为了学习，不是为了把存款全花在旅行上)”可推知，作者提到了他在新西兰的旅行经历是为了表明他对旅行的热情。故选B。
2.主旨大意题。根据第五段““Oh,
I’ll
travel
when
I
retire.”
“I’ll
travel
when
the
kids
are
grown.”
“I’ll
travel
when
the

3.推理判断题。根据最后一段“So
travel
young,

I
saw
my
first
tree
today.
Dad
used
to
tell
me
stories
about
the
trees
that
still
existed
when
he
was
a
boy.
There
weren’t
very
many
even
then,
with
the
urbanization
program
in
full
swing.
The
O’Brien
home
was
one
of
the
few
examples
of
old-style
wooden
structures
that
hadn’t
been
destroyed
in
Boston’s
urban-renewal
campaign.
The
family
had
been
able
to
avoid
this
because
of
its
wealth
and
political
influence,
and
the
house
was
passed
on
through
generations
to
the
present.
Old
man
O’Brien
had
no
children,
so
when
he
died,
the
Urban
Center
bought
it.
Then
an
official
discovered
that
the
house
had
a
backyard-in
the
yard
was
a
live
tree!
When
the
news
of
the
tree’s
discovery
leaked
out
quite
a
few
sightseers
stopped
by
to
have
a
look
at
it,
and
the
local
government,
realizing
the
money-making
potential,
began
charging
admission
and
advertising
the
place.
By
now
it
had
become
a
favorite
spot
for
family
trips
like
ours.
Dad
paid
the
fee
and
we
walked
through
a
doorway
hidden
in
a
bookshelf
and
into
the
backyard.
I
just
couldn’t
help
noticing
the
tree!
It
was
located
at
one
end
of
the
yard,
with
a
fence
around
it
for
protection.
It
was
similar
in
form
to
the
plastic
trees
I’d
seen,
but
there
was
much
more.
You
could
see
details
more
delicate
than
in
any
artificially
made
plant.
And
it
was
alive.
But
best
of
all
was
the
smell-fresh,
living
smell,
unfamiliar
to
the
world
outside
with
metal,
plastic,
and
glass.
I
wanted
to
touch
the
bark,
but
the
fence
prevented
me
from
doing
so.
On
the
way
back,
I
read
through
the
brochures.
One
part
said
the
O’Brien
home
would
be
torn
down
next
year
to
make
room
for
some
insurance
building,
and
the
tree
will
have
to
go,
too.
I
just
sat
still,
fingering
the
object
in
my
pocket
that
I
had
picked
in
the
O’Brien’s
backyard.
I
think
it’s
called
an
acorn
(橡子).
1.
Why
could
the
tree
in
the
O’Brien’s
backyard
survive
till
today?
A.
It
possessed
some
special
characteristics.
B.
It
had
a
very
strong
fence
around
to
protect
it.
C.
It
was
preserved
together
with
the
house
by
its
owner.
D.
It
got
the
local
government’s
attention
as
a
tourist
attraction.
2.
How
might
the
author
feel
after
the
trip?
A.
Annoyed.
B.
Calm.
C.
Excited.
D.
Upset.
3.
Which
statement
best
shows
the
theme
of
the
passage?
A.
Social
progress
and
urbanization
come
at
a
cost.
B.
Social
progress
should
give
way
to
nature
protection.
C.
Humans
value
nature
protection
over
social
progress.
D.
Urbanization
has
more
advantages
than
disadvantages.
【答案】CDA
【解析】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者在城市化全面推进的社会里终于见到了第一棵真树，这棵树种在O’Brien家后院，但是因为要为一些保险大楼腾出空间，明年这棵树也要被砍掉，这使作者很沮丧。
1.细节理解题。根据第二段中“The
O’Brien
home
was
one
of
the
few
examples
of
old-style
wooden
structures
that
hadn’t
been
destroyed
in
Boston’s

to
avoid
this

to
the

…Then
an
official
discovered
that
the
house
had
a
backyard-in
the
yard
was
a
live
tree!
(在波士顿的城市重建运动中，奥布莱恩的房子是少数几个没有被摧毁的旧式木结构建筑的例子之一。由于其财富和政治影响力，这个家族得以避免这种情况，这所房子代代相传到现在。……后来一位官员发现这所房子有一个后院——院子里是一棵活的树!)”可知，O’Brien家后院的树能存活到今天是因为它和房子一起被主人保存了下来。故选C项。
2.推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“One
part
said
the
O’Brien
home
would
be
torn
down
next
year
to
make
room
for
some
insurance
building,
and
the

(其中一部分说O’Brien的房子明年将被拆除，为一些保险大楼腾出空间，那棵树也必须被砍掉。)”和最后一段中“I
just
sat
still,
fingering
the
object
in
my
pocket
that
I
had
picked
in
the
O’Brien’s
backyard.
(我只能静静地坐着，用手摸着我口袋里的东西，它是在O’Brien家后院捡到的。)”可知，作者在这次旅行后会感到沮丧。故选D项。
3.主旨大意题。根据第一段中“Dad
used
to
tell
me
stories
about
the
trees
that
still
existed
when
he
was
a
boy.
There
weren’t
very
many
even
then,

(爸爸常给我讲他小时候还存在的那些树的故事。即使在当时，随着城市化进程的全面推进，这样的城市也不多。)”和倒数第二段中“One
part
said
the
O’Brien
home
would
be
torn
down
next
year
to
make
room
for
some
insurance
building,

the
tree
will
have
to
go,

(其中一部分说O’Brien的房子明年将被拆除，为一些保险大楼腾出空间，那棵树也必须被砍掉。)”以及下文的描述，可知，本文讲述了作者在城市化全面推进的社会里终于见到了第一棵真树，这棵树种在O’Brien家后院，但是因为要为一些保险大楼腾出空间，明年这棵树也要被砍掉，这使作者很沮丧。因此本文的主题选项A“社会进步和城市化是有代价的。”符合题意。故选A项。

Maybe
no
one
forgets
their
first
bicycle
and
there
is
no
exception
to
a
woman
like
me.
Mine
was
a
Schwinn
coaster
bike,
second-hand,
painted
a
distinctive
red
and
yellow
by
its
previous
owner.
I
remember
riding
too
fast
down
the
big
hill
on
Springfield
Avenue.
I
knew
at
once
that
the
world
was
mine
to
explore.
A
couple
of
years
later,
when
I
was
11,
my
grandmother
visited
from
England,
bringing
me
a
bike.
It
was
a
shiny
dark
green,
with
three
gears
(齿轮)
and
hand
brakes.
As
the
owner
of
the
first
English
bicycle
my
neighbors
had
ever
seen,
I
was,
for
a
time,
almost
a
star.
Unlike
my
coaster
bike,
it
was
light
and
responsive
—
riding
it
felt
like
flying.
I
rode
it
past
big
stone
houses
with
their
huge
yards
and
trees.
I
rode
past
brick
row
houses.
I
rode
alone
and
with
groups
of
friends.
That
beloved
bike
went
with
me
to
college,
carrying
me
to
the
library
and
to
classes.
Beyond
transport,
it
was
often
a
prop
(道具):
pushing
it
along
as
I
walked
the
college
paths
made
me
feel
less
self-conscious.
Somehow,
conversation
flowed
more
easily
on
either
side
of
a
bike.
After
college,
I
lived
abroad
for
a
time.
Returning
from
London,
I
discovered
to
my
horror
that
my
parents
had
sold
my
bike.
They
didn’t
even
know
who
had
bought
it.
For
years
after
that,
I
didn’t
have
a
bicycle
that
was
specifically
mine.
Teaching
in
a
New
England
prep
school,
I
simply
rode
whatever
bikes
its
graduates
had
left
behind.
I
rode
around
the
little
town
on
bikes
which
slipped
in
and
out
of
gear,
with
brakes
that
often
failed.
I
did
not
take
any
of
those
bikes
with
me
when
I
moved
south
to
the
coastal
town
where
I
now
live.
But
after
a
while
I
missed
riding.
Finally,
on
a
fall
day,
I
bought
a
bicycle.
Called
a
comfort
bike,
it
has
wider
tires
than
my
old
bike
and
seven
gears.
But
it
is
green
—
a
brighter
green
bike.
Still,
I
was
a
bit
apprehensive.
I
was
out
of
practice
and
a
lot
older.
I
brought
the
bike
home
and
put
on
my
helmet
—
I’d
never
worn
a
helmet
before.
Then
I
got
on
the
bike.
After
a
tentative,
slightly
shaky
start,
I
fell
exactly
as
I
was
on
that
long-ago
day
on
Springfield
Avenue:
free.
Soon
I
was
riding
along.
It
seemed
that
everyone
I
passed
smiled
and
waved
or
call
out,
great
day
for
a
bike
ride!
And
I
knew
they
all
remembered
their
first
bike
and
how
it
had
set
them
free.
I
wanted
to
call
back
to
them,
“I
still
can!”

it
was
often
a
prop
(道具):
pushing
it
along
as
I

paths
made
me
feel
less
self-conscious.
Somehow,
conversation
flowed
more
easily
on
either
side
of

Lisa
was
running
late.
Lisa,
25,
had
a
lot
to
do
at
work,
plus
visitors
on
the
way:
her
parents
were
coming
in
for
Thanksgiving
from
her
hometown.
But
as
she
hurried
down
the
subway
stairs,
she
started
to
feel
uncomfortably
warm.
By
the
time
she
got
to
the
platform,
Lisa
felt
weak
and
tired—maybe
it
hadn’t
been
a
good
idea
to
give
blood
the
night
before,
she
thought.
She
rested
herself
against
a
post
close
to
the
tracks.
Several
yards
away,
Frank,
43,
and
his
girlfriend,
Jennifer,
found
a
spot
close
to
where
the
front
of
the
train
would
stop.
They
were
deep
in
discussion
about
a
house
they
were
thinking
of
buying.
But
when
he
heard
the
scream,
followed
by
someone
yelling,
“Oh,
my
God,
she
fell
in!”
Frank
didn’t
hesitate(犹豫).
He
jumped
down
to
the
tracks
and
ran
some
40
feet
toward
the
body
lying
on
the
rails.
“No!
Not
you!
”his
girlfriend
shouted
after
him.
She
was
right
to
be
alarmed.
By
the
time
Frank
reached
Lisa,
he
could
feel
the
tracks
shaking
and
see
the
light
coming.
The
train
was
about
20
seconds
from
the
station.
It
was
hard
to
lift
her.
She
was
just
out.
But
he
managed
to
raise
her
four
feet
to
the
platform(站台)
so
that
bystanders
could
hold
her
by
the
legs
and
drag
her
away
from
the
edge.
That
was
where
Lisa
briefly
regained
consciousness(知觉),
felt
herself
being
pulled
along
the
ground,
and
saw
someone
else
holding
her
purse.
Lisa
thought
she’d
been
robbed.
A
woman
held
her
hand
and
a
man
gave
his
shirt
to
help
stop
the
blood
pouring
from
her
head.
And
she
tried
to
talk
but
she
couldn’t,
and
that
was
when
she
realized
how
much
pain
she
was
in.
Police
and
fire
officials
soon
arrived,
and
Frank
told
the
story
to
an
officer.
Jennifer
said
her
boyfriend
was
calm
on
their
40-minute
train
ride
downtown
-
just
as
he
had
been
seconds
after
the
rescue(营救),
which
made
her
think
about
her
reaction
at
the
time.
“I
saw
the
train
coming
and
I
was
thinking
he
was
going
to
die,”
she
explained.

hot
in
the
subway.
C.
She
had
done

D.
She
had

the
night
before.

try
to

her
boyfriend?
A.
Because
they
would
miss
their
train.

Because
he
didn’t
see
the

coming.
C.
Because
she
was
sure
Lisa
was
hard

and
I
can
say
I
felt
like
I
was
born
on
a
bike.
My
father
was
a
professional
cyclist,
and
wanted
to
show
us,
his
twin
sons,
the
work
of
the
trade
and
bond
with
us.
The
trip
was
across
the
San
Juan
Islands
and
then
Vancouver
Island.
We
prepared
for
the
journey
by
going
on
smaller
rides
and
practiced
cycling
with
panniers
(货筐).
Adjusting
to
the
weight
on
the
bike
was
harder
than
I
thought.
When
we
set
out
for
the
trip,
I
knew
that
I
yearned
to
have
an
adventure
and
wanted
to
see
the
beautiful
sights
of
mountains,
bears,
moose,
deer,
forests,
and
much
more.
One
night,
after
perhaps
a
week
into
the
trip,
we
were
on
our
last
legs(路程)getting
to
a
campsite,
and
going
down
a
large
hill.
It
was
raining
moderately
and
we
were
coasting
down
the
hill
in
eager
delight
to
take
a
rest
from
going
up
a
mountain
with
all
of
our
gear
and
sore
legs.
Suddenly,
my
brother’s
front
tire
slipped
in
the
rain,
and
he
slid
into
the
middle
of
the
road.
My
father
and
I
stopped,
asking
if
he
was
okay.
Apparently,
he
was
not
hurt
too
much,
but
his
leg
was
caught
up
in
the
bike
frame.
From
the
top
of
the
hill,
we
saw
the
light
of
a
car
coming.
My
father
and
I
looked
on
in
shock.
Chris
could
not
seem
to
get
out
of
the
entrapment
of
his
bike,
and
now
the
car
was
blasting
its
way.
This
all
happened
within
seconds.
Instinctively,
I
rushed
out
in
front
of
my
brother
in
the
middle
of
the
road,
and
waved
my
hands
frantically.
The
car
rushed
forward,
but
swerved
to
the
left
to
go
around
my
brother
and
I.
My
brother
was
saved
from
being
crushed
by
the
car.
My
brother
says
I
was
incredibly
brave
but
I
think
we
do
what
we
know
is
right.
I
believe
that
one
should
listen
to
one’s
gut
in
times
of
peril,
and
not
intellectualize
dilemmas.
If
I
had
thought
about
what
I
was
doing
on
that
night,
my
brother
might
have
been
robbed
from
this
world.
Life
and
death
often
swing
in
the
balance
between
what
seems
natural
and
rational.

【答案】ACD
【解析】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述在作者13岁的时候，同哥哥和父亲进行了一次735英里的自行车旅行，在旅行中发生了意外，作者救下了他的哥哥，从而让作者悟出一个道理：认真的对待自己所做的事情，听从自己的直觉和内心。
1.细节理解题。根据文章“When
I
was
13
years

I
went
on
a
735-mile
cycling

with
my

”（当我13岁的时候，我和我的哥哥和父亲进行了一次735英里的自行车旅行。我们都是自行车爱好者，我可以说我感觉我天生就是骑自行的料。我的父亲是一名职业自行车手，他想让我们，他的双胞胎儿子，看看这个行业的工作和与我们的联系。）可知，作者的父亲期望能从自行车旅行中让他的儿子们看看这个工作的性质，并且和儿子们建立联系，一起度过一些时光，故选A。
2.推理判断题。根据第三段“One

in
the
rain,
and
he
slid
into
the
middle

”（
突然，我哥哥的前轮在雨中打滑，他滑到了路中间。）可知，事故发生时作者他们走的是山路，由于下了雨，路很滑，所以哥哥的前轮在雨中打滑，导致哥哥摔倒。故推断这次事故的可能原因是下山的路太滑了，故选C。
3.推理判断题。根据最后一段“My
brother
says
I
was
incredibly
brave,
but
I
think
we
do

”（
我哥哥说我非常勇敢，但我认为我们做自己认为正确的事。我认为人在危难的时候应该听从自己的直觉，而不是理智地看待困境。如果我当时考虑到我那天晚上在做什么，我哥哥可能已经被从这个世界上带走了。生与死常常在看似自然与理性之间摇摆不定。）可知，通过这次事故，作者悟出了一个道理就是要认真的对待自己所做的事情，听从自己的直觉和内心，这也是我们从这篇文章学到的，故选D。

My
Biggest
Challenge
As
a
writer
on
an
adventure
sports
magazine,
I’d
always
fought
shy
of
doing
the
adventurous
stuff
myself,
preferring
instead
to
observe
the
experts
from
a
safe
distance
and
relay
their
experiences
to
readers
in
the
form
of
written
language.
Thus,
when
I
was
challenged
to
take
part
in
a
mountain
climb
in
aid
of
raising
money
for
charity-and
to
write
about
it
afterwards-I
was
unwilling,
to
say
the
least.
I
was
lucky
enough
to
have
a
brilliant
climbing
coach
called
Keith,
who
put
me
through
my
paces
after
my
daily
work.
He
gave
me
knowledge
about
everything
from
the
importance
of
building
muscle
groups
to
how
to
avoid
tiredness
through
nutrition.
It
quickly
became
apparent
that
the
mechanics
of
climbing
were
more
complex
than
I
had
imagined.
There
was
the
equipment
and
techniques
I’d
never
even
heard
of,
all
of
which
would
come
in
handy
on
the
snow-capped
peak
I’d
be
climbing.
Aware
of
the
challenge,
Keith
made
a
detailed
action
plan
and
I
forced
myself
to
stick
to
it,
doing
a
daily
workout
at
the
gym
and
going
on
hikes
with
a
heavy
pack.
I
perfected
my
technique
on
the
climbing
wall
and
even
went
to
climb
the
mountains
to
get
vital
experience.
My
self-belief
increased
alongside
my
muscle
power
and
I
became
confident
about
finishing
the
climb.
All
too
soon
I
was
on
a
plane
to
my
destination.
On
that
day,
when
I
looked
up
at
the
mountain,
I
thought
of
abandoning
it.
But
then
I
remembered
all
the
hard
work
I’d
done
and
how
disappointed
Keith
would
be
if
I
gave
up
at
the
last
minute-not
to
mention
letting
down
the
charity
and
the
sense
of
failure
I’d
experience
myself.
With
a
deep
breath
I
gathered
my
equipment
and
headed
out
into
the
sunshine
to
meet
the
rest
of
the
group.
And
as
I
sit
here
now,
tapping
away
on
my
laptop,
I’m
amazed
at
the
details
in
which
I
can
recall
every
second
of
the
climb:
the
burning
muscles,
the
tiredness,
the
minor
problems
along
the
way.
Could
I
have
been
better
prepared?
Possibly.
Would
I
be
back
for
another
go?
Thankfully
not.
The
feeling
of
being
excited
when
I
stood
on
top
of
the
world
is
a
never-to-be-repeated
experience
but
one
I
will
enjoy
forever
nevertheless.
1.
At
the
beginning
of
the
activity,
the
author
revealed
his
______.
A.
disappointment
in
the
coming
adventure.
B.
expectation
of
writing
about
his
experience.
C.
lack
of
enthusiasm
for
the
challenge
he’d
been
offered.
D.
curiosity
about
taking
part
in
the
mountain
climb
for
charity.
2.
What
did
the
author
realise
during
his
climb
training?
A.
The
knowledge
about
climbing
was
really
confusing.
B.
The
equipment
was
the
key
factor
to
reach
the
peak.
C.
Climbing
was
much
more
complicated
than
expected.
D.
Hard
training
was
far
more
important
than
making
plans.
3.
How
did
the
author
feel
after
he
succeeded
in
climbing
the
mountain?
A.
He
was
relieved
that
he
wouldn’t
have
to
do
it
again.
B.
He
was
well
satisfied
that
he
had
done
his
best
for
it.
C.
He
was
surprised
that
he
had
managed
to
complete
it.
D
He
was
regretful
that
it
wasn’t
as
smooth
as
imagined.

when
I
was
challenged
to
take
part
in
a
mountain
climb
in
aid
of
raising
money
for
charity-and
to
write
about
it
afterwards-I
was
unwilling,
to
say
the

2.细节理解题。根据第二段第三句“It
quickly
became
apparent
that
the
mechanics
of
climbing
were
more
complex

imagined.”（很快我就发现攀岩的技巧比我想象的要复杂得多。）可知，在他的攀岩训练中，作者意识到攀岩比预想的要复杂得多。故选C。
3.推理判断题。根据最后一段最后三句“Would
I
be
back
for
another
go?
Thankfully
not.
The
feeling
of
being

I
stood
on
top
of
the
world
is
a
never-to-be-repeated
experience
but
one
I
will
enjoy
forever
nevertheless.”（我会再来一次吗？值得庆幸的是没有。当我站在世界之巅时那种兴奋的感觉是一种永远不会重复的经历，但我将永远享受这种感觉。）可知，成功地爬上了那座山后，作者很欣慰他不用再这样做了。故选A。

William
had
worked
hard
to
pass
the
exams
to
enter
high
school.
When
the
term
began,
however,
his
father
told
him
that
there
was
no
money
to
pay
for
his
school
fees
because
of
the
summer
drought.
Still,
William
wanted
to
learn.
He
made
the
village
library
his
school.
One
day,
he
found
a
book
called
Using
Energy.
On
the
book’s
cover
was
a
picture
of
windmills,
tall
steel
towers
with
blades
(叶片)
spinning
like
giant
fans.
He
learned
that
wind—something
of
which
his
hometown
had
plenty—could
produce
electricity.
He
couldn’t
help
picturing
his
own
windmill
in
mind,
but
collecting
the
parts
and
tools
he
needed
would
take
months.
In
a
junkyard,
he
dug
through
piles
of
used
metal,
old
cars,
and
worn-out
tractors,
searching
for
anything
that
might
help
him
construct
his
machine.
He
made
four-foot-long
blades
from
plastic
pipe,
which
he
melted
over
a
fire,
flattened
out,
and
hardened
with
bamboo
poles.
Earning
some
money,
he
paid
a
blacksmith
to
attach
the
piston
(活塞)
to
the
pedal
sprocket
(踏板链轮)
of
an
old
bicycle
frame.
This
would
be
the
axle
(轮轴)
of
the
windmill.
When
the
wind
blew,
the
spinning
blades
would
turn
the
bicycle
wheel
and
spin
a
small
dynamo
(发电机),
donated
by
his
friend.
When
he
had
collected
all
the
parts,
William
began
putting
them
together.
He
fixed
the
blades
to
the
tractor
fan
he
found,
using
washers
(垫圈)
he’d
made
from
bottle
caps.
Next
he
pushed
the
fan
onto
the
piston
joint
to
the
bicycle
frame.
With
the
help
of
his
two
best
friends,
William
built
a
16-foot-tall
tower
from
trunks
of
trees
and
lifted
the
ninety-pound
windmill
to
the
top.
The
big
moments
eventually
came.
He
climbed
up
the
tower
and
connected
two
wires
that
held
a
small
bulb.
As
the
wind
whipped
around
him,
the
blades
began
to
turn,
slowly
at
first,
then
faster
and
faster.
The
light
bulb
flickered
(闪烁),
then
flashed
to
life.
The
crowd
cheered
from
below.
“Wachitabwina
(well
done)!”
William’s
machine
now
powered
his
house.
And
the
story
of
the
boy
who’d
built
a
power-generating
windmill
to
rescue
his
family
from
the
drought
spread
across
the
Internet.
1.
After
reading
Using
Energy,
what
did
William
decide
to
do?
A.
Make
use
of
wind.
B.
Enter
a
high
school.
C.
Build
a
village
library.
D.
Learn
to
survive
a
drought.

him,
the
blades
began
to
turn,
slowly
at
first,
then
faster
and
faster.
The
light
bulb
flickered
(闪烁),
then
flashed

(活塞)
to
the
pedal
sprocket
(踏板链轮)
of
an
old
bicycle
frame.”（他挣了些钱，付钱给一个铁匠把活塞装到旧自行车架上的踏板链轮上。），结合上文可知，因为没钱，威廉辍学，但看了《使用能量》这本书后，他决定建造发电风车，他花了几个月时间在垃圾场收集需要的零件，又赚钱请人帮忙，最后终于成功建造了发电风车，纵使困难重重，威廉并未放弃，说明他是一个意志坚定的（Determined）人。故选B项。
3.细节理解题。由倒数第二段中的“As
the
wind

Aubrey
is
a
FedEx
driver
who
has
made
regular
delivery
stops
in
a
rural
neighborhood
in
Indiana.
During
her
stops
there,
she
would
see
an
11-year-old
boy,
Elijah,
playing
basketball
with
an
old
and
rusty
bent
hoop.
"It
was
crazy
to
me
how
happy
he
was
with
the
broken
hoop.
Every
time
I
saw
him,
he
was
so
joyful
playing
basketball.
Seeing
him
so
happy
stuck
with
me,"
said
Aubrey.
The
FedEx
driver
thought
about
Elijah
many
times
over
the
months,
and
decided
that
she
wanted
to
bless
him
in
a
special
way.
"I
just
wouldn't
stop
thinking
about
it.
I
really
wanted
to
get
him
a
hoop.
He
deserves
it."
Aubrey
went
out
and
bought
a
new
basketball
hoop
and
installed
it
when
the
family
wasn't
home.
She
left
a
note
that
read:
"Just
wanted
you
and
your
son
to
have
the
best
hoop
that'll
grow
with
him
and
all
his
friends."
She
signed
herself
"just
one
of
the
FedEx
drivers
in
the
area".
"I
read
the
note,
and
the
moment
I
realized
who
it
was
from,
I
started
to
cry,"
said
Coledo,
Elijah's
mom.
"When
Elijah
came
home
and
I
showed
it
to
him,
he
got
really
emotional.
He
got
teary-eyed
but
he's
an

crashing

would
do
this
for

made
another
FedEx
delivery
to

her
and

also
gave

a
card
he
made
for
her.
And

invited
her
to
play

and

younger
brother.
"It
was
almost
like
we'd

me
how

he
was
with
the

joyful
playing
basketball.
Seeing

so
happy
stuck
with
me”（我简直不敢相信他对那个坏了的篮框那么开心。每次我看到他，他打篮球是那么快乐。看到他这么开心，我就受不了了）可知，Aubrey给Elijah买了一个新的篮球框，因为她对Elijah对篮球的热爱印象深刻。故选C。

showed
it
to
him,
he
got
really
emotional.
He
got
teary-eyed
but
he's
an
11-year-old
boy,
so
he
really
didn't
want
to
admit
he
was
crying”（Elijah回家后，我给他看的时候，他很激动。他哭了，但他是一个11岁的男孩，所以他真的不想承认自己哭了）可知，这个家庭看到新篮框时感到很感动。故选A。
3.细节理解题。根据倒第三段第三句和第四句“It's
just
been
a

year.
We're

While
many
people
prefer
to
buy
a
new
dog
from
a
breeder,
another
option
is
to
adopt
a
rescue
dog.
As
the
Svilicics
already
had
a
healthy
daughter
Charlotte,
they
felt
fortunate
enough
to
save
another
life.
Thus,
Catherine
adopted
a
dog
and
named
it
Khan.
Catherine
was
hopeful
this
would
provide
valuable
lessons
for
her
baby,
such
as
sharing,
learning
to
love
and
responsibility
to
care
for
animals.
They
trained
Khan
during
the
first
few
days
and
everything
began
smoothly.
Charlotte
and
the
new
dog
made
a
habit
of
playing
out
in
the
backyard.
However,
things
were
different
this
day.
They
began
running
through
the
backyard
grass
together.
That
was
until
Khan’s
temperament
seemed
to
change
dramatically.
Khan
began
acting
wildly
aggressively
(富于攻击性的),
grabbing
the
baby.
This
was
not
the
normal
play
between
the
two.
Mouth
open,
Catherine
watched
in
complete
and
utter
shock.
She
watched
as
Khan
tossed
(抛)
Charlotte
across
their
lawn.
What
happened
next
alarmed
Catherine
and
everyone
present.
He
tightly
clenched
his
jaws
into
her
diaper
to
toss
her
back
and
forth.
Therefore,
with
urgency,
she
ran
to
Charlotte
and
carried
her
to
safety.
Miraculously,
her
child
was
unharmed.
While
Catherine
brought
her
baby
to
shelter,
Khan
barked
madly
and
then
collapsed.
The
dog
began
crying.
No
one
understood
what
was
going
on!
Khan
was
obviously
not
doing
well.
The
dog
continued
crying
and
then
fell
lifeless.
Catherine
focused
on
the
dog,
watching
his
dying
eyes
and
realized
he
had
been
protecting
her
child.
It
turned
out
that
Khan
was
protecting
Charlotte
from
a
poisonous,
dangerous
snake.
She
used
all
her
strength
to
bring
the
dog
to
her
car
and
sped
for
the
vet,
hearing
his
breath
slow.
When
the
vet
took
over,
Catherine
cried
and
felt
totally
helpless,
so
she
prayed
for
his
recovery.
The
vet
had
to
remove
all
the
snake
poison
from
the
body.
Quite
a
few
days
later,
Khan
was
slowly
getting
stronger
through
the
vet’s
effort.
Eventually,
he
made
progress
and
the
snake’s
venom
was
removed.
Actually,
Khan
impressed
even
the
vet
with
his
rapid
recovery
and
progress.
The
whole
family
could
be
reunited
once
again
with
this
amazing
and
heroic
animal.
Catherine
was
determined
to
protect
this
amazing
animal
as
if
it
were
her
own
child.
1.
What
caused
Catherine
to
carry
her
child
away
from
Khan?
A.
That
Khan
tossed
her
child
back
and
forth.
B.
That
Khan
grabbed
her
child
aggressively.
C.
That
Khan
tossed
her
child
across
their
lawn.
D.
That
her
child
played
with
Khan
for
such
a
long
time.
2.
Which

the
following
statements
is
true
according
to
the
passage?
A.
Catherine
adopted
Khan
to
protect
her
child.

Khan’s
sickness
was
too
serious
to
be
cured.
C.
The
child
was
hurt
because
she
was
treated
badly.
D.
Khan
was
attacked
by
a
snake
in
order
to
protect
the
child.

Caring.
