克服童年阴影真正成长 记叙文 296 6分钟
(2021·潍坊高一检测)
I was the oldest of three children. Mom got my wardrobe (行头) from neighborhood mothers. Imagine the fun other kids had when they saw me wearing their used clothing.
Perhaps my biggest challenge came from Charlie. As far as I was concerned,Charlie’s main fun was to make fun of me. During those years, I slowly learned to hate. I hated Charlie, but I also hated myself for not being able to change my situation.
But situations do change.After high school, I joined the Navy and then received a college education. Hard work and a few lucky career (职业) choices finally lifted me into the middle class.
One beautiful summer afternoon, my friend and I celebrated Friday in Jackson’s Steak House. For the first time in almost twenty years, I saw Charlie. Not only did I see him, but he spoke to me. I could tell he didn’t recognize me, but I surely recognized my childhood tormentor (摧残者). He said, “Sir, what kind of dressing would you like with your salad ”
The tables had turned. Charlie was calling me “Sir.” While hundreds of improper ideas raced through my mind, I could only give a two-word reply: “Blue cheese.” As much as I wanted to taste the sweet taste of revenge (复仇), I refused to do it. I wouldn’t put another person through what I had gone through as a child. It was time to put childish things behind me and make use of the new opportunity that life had given me. I left him a good tip and I didn’t say one word about recognizing him.

亲子游戏引发思考 说明文 299 6分钟
A children-raising game called “Chinese Parents” has gained popularity among Chinese players recently with its real-life setting and realistic plots. Released on September 29, this online game has received over 13,000 comments on Tencent WeGame and Steam, two popular gaming platforms in China, in less than a month, according to data from the two platforms.
Players are responsible for raising their fictitious (虚构的)children online. During the lifetime of these children, they must make choices for them just like Chinese parents do in real life, such as choosing extra-curricular classes, deciding their majors in universities, and even finding marriage partners for them. A “child’s” physical condition, IQ level, and imagination can be improved by attending courses arranged by the player “parents” in each round of the game.
“From the game, I learned that ongoing efforts can bring about great changes to our lives,” Shoubin, a 28-year-old in the city of Zibo in east China’s Shandong Province said. “I can understand my parents more, and show my appreciation for the hardships they have overcome for raising and training me.”
Social issues about Chinese parents, families, and education of children tend to cause heated discussions. “I integrated(融入) these ideas into the game, creating a sense of ‘rebirth’ for players and driving them to experience a virtual child-rearing life through entertainment,” said Yang Geyilang, the game producer.
Some negative comments were also made by the game players.“This game is somewhat controversial,” a player named Producer Kahn commented, highlighting that although exams are important, we cannot regard the scores as the only standard to judge a child, which has become a routine for many Chinese families.
【语篇概述】 本篇文章介绍了热门游戏“中国式家长”的玩法,列举了玩家对游戏的评价,引发了玩家对中国式教育的思考。
5.Why is the game so popular
A.Because the game can help players change life.
B.Because the setting and plots are real to life.
C.Because of the popular gaming platforms, Tencent WeGame and Steam.
D.Because the game received many comments in a short time.
【解析】选B。细节理解题。由第一段第一句 “...has gained popularity among Chinese players recently with its real-life setting and realistic plots.”可知选B 项。
6.How do players play the game
A.Organize classes for player “parents”.
B.Make vital choices like selecting their “children” majors.
C.Raising their own “children” in the virtual world.
D.Experience the joy of changing lives.
【解析】选C。细节理解题。由第二段第一句可知C项正确,A项错误。B项比较片面,而D项是玩游戏的体会,不是游戏的玩法。
7.What’s the author’s attitude to this game
A.Objective. B.Subjective.
C.Favorable. D.Negative.
【解析】选A。推理判断题。由于作者分别引用了两位游戏玩家Shoubin和Producer Kahn对于此游戏的看法,褒贬不一,由此可知,作者的态度是客观的,故选A 项。
8.What does the passage mainly tell us
A.Players are given an opportunity to re-experience life.
B.Chinese games can also hit popular gaming platforms.
C.A game leads to new parent-teen relationship in China.
D.Chinese players test parental skills in the virtual world.
【解析】选D。主旨大意题。 D项表示 “中国玩家在虚拟世界中检测自己做父母的能力”,把原文的主要事件——游戏、中国、父母等都涵盖了进来,对全文进行了高度的概括,故D项正确。

人与自我 青少年创业 记叙文 364 7分钟
Alice Moore is a teenager entrepreneur(创业者),who in May 2015 set up her business AilieCandy.By the time she was 13,her company was worth millions of dollars with the invention of a super-sweet treat that could save kids’ teeth,instead of destroying them.
It all began when Moore visited a bank with her dad.On the outing,she was offered a candy bar.However,her dad reminded her that sugary treats were bad for her teeth.But Moore was sick of missing out on candies.So she desired to get round the warning,“Why can’t I make a healthy candy that’s good for my teeth so that my parents can’t say no to it ” With that in mind,Moore asked her dad if she could start her own candy company.He recommended that she do some research and talk to dentists about what a healthier candy would contain.
With her dad’s permission,she spent the next two years researching online and conducting trials to get a recipe that was both tasty and tooth-friendly.She also approached dentists to learn more about teeth cleaning.Consequently,she succeeded in making a kind of candy only using natural sweeteners,which can reduce oral bacteria.
Moore then used her savings to get her business off the ground.Afterwards,she and her father secured their first business meeting with a supermarket owner,who finally agreed to sell Moore’s product—CanCandy.
As CanCandy’s success grows,so does Moore’s credibility as a young entrepreneur.Moore is enthusiastic about the candy she created,and she’s also positive about what the future might bring.She hopes that every kid can have a clean mouth and a broad smile.
Meanwhile,with her parents’ help,Moore is generally able to live a normal teenage life.Although she founded her company early on in life,she wasn’t driven primarily by profit.Moore wants to use her unique talent to help others find their smiles.She donates 10% of AilieCandy’s profits to Big Smiles.With her talent and determination,it appears that the sky could be the limit for Alice Moore.
【语篇概述】女孩爱丽丝·穆尔在2015年创办了自己的糖果公司,生产对儿童牙齿有保护作用的糖果。她不仅有经商才能,而且向Big Smiles组织捐了款,她愿意给他人带来微笑。
1.How did Moore react to her dad’s warning
A.She argued with him.
B.She tried to find a way out.
C.She paid no attention.
D.She chose to consult dentists.
【解析】选B。推理判断题。根据第二段可知她询问父亲是否可以开办一家自己的糖果公司,可知她在想办法解决。故选B。
2.What is special about CanCandy
A.It is beneficial to dental health.
B.It is free of sweeteners.
C.It is sweeter than other candies.
D.It is produced to a dentists’ recipe.
【解析】选A。细节理解题。根据第三段末句可知她成功地用天然甜味剂制作了一种糖果,可以减少口腔细菌。故选A。
3.What does Moore expect from her business
A.To earn more money.
B.To help others find smiles.
C.To make herself stand out.
D.To beat other candy companies.
【解析】选B。细节理解题。根据末段第三句“Moore wants to use her unique talent to help others find their smiles.”可知她想要帮助别人微笑。故选B。

创造力是一个人的知识、智力、能力及优良的个性品质等复杂因素综合化的产物。一个人是否具有创造力是区分人才的重要标志。青少年的生活丰富多彩,在平常的生活中也蕴含着无限的创新机会。兴趣、实践再加上亲人的支持,可以将创新的成果再推进一步,小小的少年也可以成就大梦想。
Main idea
Para. 1 Introduce Alice Moore and her 1.company
Para. 2 How her idea of inventing a 2.healthy candy formed
Para. 3 Her success in making a kind of candy only using 3.natural sweeteners
Para. 4 The 4.beginning of Alice’s company
Para. 5 Further 5.success/development of Alice and her company
Para. 6 What Alice has done to 6.help others
长难句分析:Moore then used her savings to get her business off the ground.Afterwards,she and her father secured their first business meeting with a supermarket owner,who finally agreed to sell Moore’s product—CanCandy.
get something off the ground意为“使……顺利开始”,可以用来形象地描述“使一件事情开始”或“使其成功进行”。如:
We are going to have to work hard to get this business off the ground.
我们接下来得努力工作,才能顺利地开始做这门生意。
secure在句中作动词,意为“获得、实现”。在第二句中,who 引导了一个非限制性定语从句,修饰a supermarket owner。
句意:然后,Moore用她的积蓄开始创业。 后来,她和她的父亲与一家超市老板进行了第一次商务会议,超市老板最终同意出售Moore的产品CanCandy。

勇敢接受挑战,创造机遇 记叙文 359 7分钟
I started to work as an editor for a travel magazine.I didn’t really mind the work,but I wanted something more challenging.My sister sent me some details for a position in a start-up.The job was a seemingly perfect mix of my skills and interests,so I jumped at it.
However,soon after I joined the company,its model changed to focus on K-12 education,and everything about my position changed.I was asked to take on the completely different roles of selling contents to teachers and training people.I had no experience in sales,training or education.On top of that,I’m an introvert (内向的人).I felt more a little outside my comfort zone.
I knew I wanted to grow as an individual and make a serious impact on the company.I told myself that everything feels overwhelming at first and I should at least try.In a way,I felt like I didn’t have a choice.I knew jumping out of the nest was the right thing for me,even though it felt pretty awful.
I was fortunate to be surrounded by very helpful people,both at work and at home.My boss never asked if I thought I could do it;she asked if I was interested in trying.
I spent hours researching my company’s products.I asked lots of questions and spoke to so many teachers that there were soon more good experiences than difficult ones.I looked for opportunities to put in extra effort.The more I did,the better I felt.
Over time,I discovered that the job was something I could do and liked doing.It was incredibly rewarding to see the company grow.I also learned it’s important to take risks and accept new opportunities,even when you’re not sure if you’ll do well.I don’t think there’s anything worse than failing to try.I’m so glad I tried,and it surely paid off.

团队合作参加机器人比赛 记叙文 262 6分钟
(2021·湖北省高一上联考)
I am a part of the Windward Robotics team known as the Omnicats,one of the many clubs offered at my school.My eight teammates and I started out by watching the robotics qualifiers and finals of Chinese teams.We used these robotics videos for inspiration and drew up mind maps of what our team wanted to do.
We meet everyday for two hours after school in order to build our robots.Typically,adults oversee what students are building,but my school lets teens take control.It leaves room for more errors,but we’re prouder of our final product.
Before our first real match,a practice one was offered at the actual site.My sub-team had been further along than other teams but quickly fell behind.When we arrived on that big day,I immediately felt my teammates’ tension.Our first match was in three minutes.All of us glanced around at each other since we were not prepared at all.Our robot was still sitting in a box.Two of our teammates rushed to take the robot for an official examination as the rest of us discussed our strategy.
Our team captain explained that we all should try driving the robot now,while it was early in the season.She gave me the remote.I had only driven for a limited amount of time in practice so I was extremely nervous.Our autonomous code(自动代码) began to run almost immediately after our short discussion.Despite all the drama,we ended up winning the match.Not too bad for the first match! I was so proud.I did not enjoy the pressure of driving but liked building the robot behind the scenes instead.
We have transferred to a different type of robotics at the end of the semester,which involves the whole team designing one giant robot with large tools.I am a part of the electrical team now,so I make sure the motherboard(母板) can supply the robot’s energy needs.We have all enjoyed the rest of the season and learned that robotics is never dull!
【语篇概述】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者和她的团队如何准备机器人比赛的情况。
5.What does the underlined word in Paragraph 2 probably mean
A.Direct. B.Revise.
C.Overlook. D.Request.
【解析】选A。词义猜测题。根据第二段第二句话和第三句话可知我们学校让我们自主进行制作活动,允许犯错。再结合oversee的构词法特点(over-表上方,上空),oversee可解释为在上空看着,即“监管”。所以其含义与direct(指导)较为接近。
6.Why did her teammates feel so nervous before first match
A.Because it was really too difficult for them.
B.Because they didn’t prepare for it at all.
C.Because they didn’t know what the match would be like.
D.Because they didn’t make full preparations before the match.
【解析】选D。细节理解题。根据第三段第五句话可知我们没有做好充分的准备(但并非没有准备)。prepared意为准备好了的。
7.How did the author think about their first robotics match
A.It was tiring but exciting.
B.It was stressful but wonderful.
C.It was terrible but delightful.
D.It was boring but rewarding.
【解析】选B。细节判断题。根据第四段最后三句话(对第一场比赛来说还不错! 我太骄傲了。我不喜欢开车的压力,而是喜欢在幕后建造机器人。)可以推断,第一场比赛压力很大,但取得了不错的成绩。故选B。
8.What is the best title for the text
A.A Girl Who Loves Robots
B.My First Robotics Match
C.Teamwork for Robots
D.Robotics Is Never Dull
【解析】选C。标题归纳题。本文主要在讲作者和她的团队如何准备机器人比赛以及比赛前前后后的情况,贯穿全文的是团队的合作。C选项最有概括性和针对性。
【易错提醒】本文一直在强调团队合作准备机器人比赛,B选项“我的第一场机器人比赛”与整篇文章的主题“团队合作”不一致,所以B选项不对。

失学男子圆大学梦 记叙文 333 6分钟
When David Carter started to study art at The University of Texas (UT)at Austin in 1971,he had big dreams of becoming an artist or a writer.But his study came to a stop at 23 after he hurt his hand in an unpleasant event.He developed schizophrenia(精神分裂症) later and spent many years without a home.
Carter liked to spend time around UT,because he dreamed of being able to continue his study in the university and becoming a writer.After running into Carter many times,UT student Ryan Chandler decided to interview him for a project for the Daily Texan,the student newspaper of UT.
“I interviewed him on Austin’s homeless problems.After I heard his story,we kept in touch and really became friends.I learned he wanted to get back to UT,so I decided to help him,” said Chandler.“He had got 87 hours,very close to a degree.Now,with changing degree requirements,he only has 64 hours to go.”
With the help of Chandler,who worked with the university office,Carter was assigned an adviser by UT’s College of Fine Arts.“It’s the greatest gift I’ve ever received,” Carter said.“He did what had to be done to get me back to school,and I couldn’t have done it without him.”
After seeing a magazine article about Carter,a UT schoolmate decided to pay his tuition fees (学费)without telling Chandler his name.
Doug Dempster,dean of the College of Fine Arts,said in a statement,“David Carter’s decision to complete his degree is a testament (证明) to finishing well what was started,and stopped,even many years earlier.We welcome him back as we do many students each year whose education could not be completed easily.We’re going to help him through his remaining course work.”
