人与社会 我和图书馆 夹叙夹议 348 8分钟
I have a special place in my heart for libraries.I have for as long as I can remember.I was always an enthusiastic reader, sometimes reading up to three books a day as a child.Stories were like air to me and while other kids played ball or went to parties, I lived out adventures through the books I checked out from the library.
My first job was working at the Ukiah Library when I was 16 years old.It was a dream job and I did everything from shelving books to reading to the children for story time.
As I grew older and became a mother, the library took on a new place and an added meaning in my life.I had several children and books were our main source(来源) of entertainment.It was a big deal for us to load up and go to the local library, where my kids could pick out books to read or books they wanted me to read to them.
I always read, using different voices, as though I were acting out the stories with my voice and they loved it! It was a special time to bond with my children and it filled them with the wonderment of books.
Now, I see my children taking their children to the library and I love that the excitement of going to the library lives on from generation to generation.
As a novelist, I’ve found a new relationship with libraries.I encourage readers to go to their local library when they can’t afford to purchase a book.I see libraries as a safe haven(避风港) for readers and writers, a bridge that helps put together a reader with a book.Libraries, in their own way, help fight book piracy(盗版行为) and I think all writers should support libraries in a significant way when they can.Encourage readers to use the library.Share library announcements on your social media.Frequent them and talk about them when you can.
【语篇概述】作者从小就与图书馆建立了密切关系,后来把自己对图书馆的热爱在家庭里一代代地传递下去。最后,作者还阐明了图书馆的作用。
1.Which word best describes the author’s relationship with books as a child
A.Cooperative. B.Uneasy. C.Inseparable. D.Casual.
【解析】选C。推理判断题。根据第一段的I was always an enthusiastic reader以及Stories were like air to me可知,当作者是一个孩子时,她就已经和书籍密不可分了。故选C。
2.What does the underlined phrase “an added meaning” in Paragraph 3 refer to
A.Pleasure from working in the library.
B.Joy of reading passed on in the family.
C.Wonderment from acting out the stories.
D.A closer bond developed with the readers.
【解析】选B。推理判断题。根据第三段可知,作者成为母亲后,图书馆在她的生活中又增添了新的意义,那就是书成为她和孩子们快乐的来源。由此可以推断出,“an added meaning”指“阅读的快乐在家庭中的传承”。故选B。
3.What does the author call on other writers to do
A.Sponsor book fairs. B.Write for social media.
C.Support libraries. D.Purchase her novels.
【解析】选C。细节理解题。根据最后一段的I think all writers should support libraries in a significant way when they can可知,作者认为所有作家都应该力所能及地支持图书馆。故选C。
4.Which can be a suitable title for the text

B.My Idea about Writing
C.Library: A Haven for the Young

【解析】选D。标题归纳题。作者从小就与图书馆建立了密切关系,后来把自己对图书馆的热爱在家庭里一代代地传递下去。故选D。
书是人类进步的阶梯,而能让人们博览群书的图书馆更是使人类智慧薪火相传的圣地。通过图书馆,我们能开阔视野,获得知识上的满足;也能陶冶情操,得到精神上的愉悦。因此, 对图书馆的热爱也需要代代传承下去。

人与社会 志愿者活动 夹叙夹议 321 8分钟
“You can use me as a last resort(选择), and if nobody else volunteers, then I will do it.” This was an actual reply from a parent after I put out a request for volunteers for my kids’ lacrosse (长曲棍球) club.
I guess that there’s probably some demanding work schedule, or social anxiety around stepping up to help for an unknown sport.She may just need a little persuading.So I try again and tug at the heartstrings.I mention the single parent with four kids running the show and I talk about the dad coaching a team that his kids aren’t even on...At this point the unwilling parent speaks up, “Alright.Yes, I’ll do it.”
I’m secretly relieved because I know there’s real power in sharing volunteer responsibilities among many.The unwilling parent organizes the meal schedule, sends out emails, and collects money for end-of-season gifts.Somewhere along the way, the same parent ends up becoming an invaluable member of the team.The coach is able to focus on the kids while the other parents are relieved to be off the hook for another season.Handing out sliced oranges to bloodthirsty kids can be as exciting as watching your own kid score a goal.
Still, most of us volunteers breathe a sigh of relief when the season comes to a close.That relief is coupled with a deep understanding of why the same people keep coming back for more: Connecting to the community(社区) as you freely give your time, money, skills, or services provides a real joy.Volunteering just feels so good.
In that sense, I’m pretty sure volunteering is more of a selfish act than I’d freely like to admit.However, if others benefit in the process, and I get some reward too, does it really matter where my motivation lies
【语篇概述】文章讲述了有些家长不情愿当志愿者,当被说服去做志愿者之后,在工作中慢慢成为了队伍中不可或缺的成员,给别人带来好处,并从中体会到快乐。
1.What can we infer about the parent from her reply in Paragraph 1
A.She knows little about the club.
B.She isn’t good at sports.
C.She just doesn’t want to volunteer.
D.She’s unable to meet her schedule.
【解析】选C。推理判断题。根据第一句话句意“如果没人帮你了,我再帮你。把我当成最后的选择”不难看出这个家长是不愿意做志愿活动的,故选C项。
2.What does the underlined phrase“tug at the heartstrings”in Paragraph 2 mean
A.Encourage teamwork. B.Appeal to feelings.
C.Promote good deeds. D.Provide advice.
【解析】选B。词义猜测题。根据前面一句She may just need a little persuading.可知家长不愿做志愿活动,需要去说服她。再根据后文我向她提到了一个志愿者父亲在自己孩子不在场的情况下依然帮助训练其他的孩子这样的例子来说服她,一直到最后她同意做志愿者,可见作者是动之以情,晓之以理来说服这名家长。故选B项。
3.What can we learn about the parent from Paragraph 3
A.She gets interested in lacrosse.
B.She is proud of her kids.
C.She’ll work for another season.
D.She becomes a good helper.
【解析】选D。细节理解题。根据第三段可知这位家长已经成为志愿队伍中不可或缺的一员。故选D项。
4.Why does the author like doing volunteer work
A.It gives her a sense of duty.
B.It makes her very happy.
C.It enables her to work hard.
D.It brings her material rewards.
【解析】选B。推理判断题。根据倒数第二段最后两句可知自愿帮助别人是一种快乐,再根据最后一段的内容可知做志愿者可以在帮助别人的同时,使自己体会到快乐。故选B项。
【长难句解析】
That relief is coupled with a deep understanding of why the same people keep coming back for more: Connecting to the community as you freely give your time,money,skills,or services provides a real joy.
分析:of后面是一个why引导的宾语从句。冒号后的句子用来解释a deep understanding,其中动名词短语Connecting to the community是句子的主语,as引导状语从句。
翻译:和这种宽慰在一起的是深入地理解了为什么同样的人们会一直回来做更多的事情:当你大量地付出你的时间、金钱、技术或服务时,和社区的联系会提供一种真正的快乐。
志愿者活动不仅可以开阔志愿者的眼界,提供锻炼的机会和实践的舞台, 而且还能带来精神的洗礼,使志愿者更深切感受到在奉献过程中的快乐与满足。加入志愿队伍, 助人也是助己,乐人更是乐己。
答案:1.unwilling 2.persuade the unwilling parent to be a volunteer.
3.invaluable member 4.provide a real joy
核心词汇试填
①put out a request 发出请求
②speak up 大声地说出

中美铁路系统 说明文 280 6分钟
(2021·北海高一检测)
In China, people travel by train to visit new places, go on business trips or go back to their hometowns during holidays.But in the US, travelling by train is a very old tradition.It wasn’t always that way, though.
The US railway system started to grow in 1826.Later, many railway companies started up and competed with each other to build new railway routes (路线).Trains became a symbol of progress, with New York City’s Grand Central Station becoming a major cultural landmark (地标).Musicians even created music works about trains.For example, Johnny Cash wrote a song called Folsom Prison Blues.But little by little, railways were replaced by highways as “car culture” took over the US.
China would go on to use trains even more widely than the US.China’s railway network connects the entire country.It allows people to travel fast with ease.For that reason, Chinese people like travelling by train.This is especially obvious during Chunyun, when China’s train stations are crowded with thousands of people who are trying to get home.
I had never travelled by train until I moved to China.My first trip by train was from Beijing to Tianjin by high-speed train.It was amazing how quickly I could get there just in half an hour.Since then, I’ve taken the train to lots of other cities—Shanghai, Chongqing and Shenzhen.It’s always a good time.People on the train tend to be friendly and happy to chat.And for some reason, even instant noodles taste better on the train than they do anywhere else.

问路风格 说明文 304 6分钟
I travel a lot, and I find out different “styles”of directions every time I ask “How can I get to the post office ”
Foreign tourists are often confused in Japan because most streets there don’t have names.In Japan, people use landmarks in their directions instead of street names.For example, the Japanese will say to travellers, “ Go straight down to the corner.Turn left at the big hotel and go past a fruit market.The post office is across from the bus stop.”
In the countryside of the American Midwest, there are not usually many landmarks.There are no mountains, so the land is very flat.In many places there are no towns or buildings within miles.Instead of landmarks, people will tell you directions and distances.In Kansas or Iowa, for example, people will say, “ Go north two miles.Turn east, and then go another mile.”
People in Los Angeles, California, have no idea of distance on the map.They measure distance in time, not miles.“ How far away is the post office ” you ask.“ Oh,” they answer, “ it’s about five minutes from here.” You say, “ Yes, but how many miles is it ” They don’t know.
It’s true that a person doesn’t know the answer to your question sometimes.What happens in such a situation A New Yorker might say, “ Sorry, I have no idea.” But in Yucatan, Mexico, no one answers “ I don’t know”.People in Yucatan believe that “I don’t know” is impolite.They usually give an answer, often a wrong one.A tourist can get very, very lost in Yucatan!
【语篇概述】本文是一篇说明文。文章作者围绕不同国家回答问路的风格,介绍了不同国家的不同文化。

C.tell him the names of the streets

6.What is the place where people measure distance in time
A.New York. B.Los Angles.
C.Kansas. C.Iowa.
【解析】选B。细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段第一、二句可知,在洛杉矶,人们用走一段路花费多少时间来衡量距离。故B项正确。
7.People in Yucatan may give a tourist a wrong answer .
A.in order to save time B.as a test
C.so as to be polite D.for fun
【解析】选C。推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中But in Yucatan, Mexico, no one answers “I don’t know”. People in Yucatan believe that “I don’t know” is impolite.可推断,因尤卡坦人为了礼貌可能会给游客一个错误的答案。故C项正确。
8.What can we infer from the text
A.It’s important for travellers to understand cultural differences.
B.It’s useful for travellers to know how to ask the way properly.
C.People have similar understanding of politeness.
D.New Yorkers are generally friendly to visitors.

乘火车旅行 记叙文 374 8分钟
We were on the way from Hutchinson to Chicago for a short spring break.For many years I had wanted to take my family on the train.We all had been to Chicago four years ago, and the kids loved it.Chicago is one of my favorite cities, too, so the thought struck me again last fall to ride the train to Chicago.Of course, flying would have been faster.But I don’t think flying is easier, especially these days, with all the security and waiting in lines at airports.
Though we were tired in the middle of the night, the kids got on the train with the exhilaration of this adventure.“We’re moving”, my son William shouted happily with big eyes as the train began to pull away from the Hutchinson station.
I removed my shoes and lay down to try to finish my night’s sleep.The sleeper car would have better enabled that, but the ordinary train seats were not too bad.An airline flight is a more miserable experience for me: not enough room, two hours of pain with my knees almost touching my chin, the hard seat back in front cracking my kneecaps (膝盖) with every move of the body planted in front of me.On the train I could almost outstretch all of my 6-foot-2-plus body in the generous legroom.
The journey didn’t feel at all as long as it was.We all found the train ride a joy.The car ride would have felt every minute of 13 hours.But on the train you are free to walk around, sit in the observation carriage for a while and enjoy the scenery out the windows, have a nice meal in the dining car, read a book, or play a board game.
In short, the train is all about enjoying the trip, which isn’t something I do so much when traveling by airline or by car, when the trip seems more of a mission (任务) to get there than an experience to enjoy along the way.
Chicago offers much to do for a family.This time, getting there was half the fun.
【语篇概述】本文是记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者一家人乘火车到芝加哥,相比以往的乘飞机经历,作者一家更喜欢乘火车旅行。
4.We can learn from the first paragraph that .
A.the kids love the train journey
B.it was the first time that the kids were taken on the train
C.the author didn’t enjoy the long train journey
D.Chicago is one of the kid’s favorite cities
【解析】选B。细节理解题。从第一段的开头两句(我们在从哈钦森到芝加哥短暂春假的路上。多年来,我一直想带我的家人坐火车。)可知,孩子们是第一次乘坐火车,故选B。
5.What does the underlined word “exhilaration” in Paragraph 2 probably mean
A.Tiredness. B.Relaxation.
C.Excitement. D.Worry.
【解析】选C。词义猜测题。根据第二段的第一句(虽然我们在半夜很累,孩子们还是带着这次冒险的兴奋上了火车。)可知其中的关键词是“though ... tired”,前面说“尽管累”,那后面一定是转折的意思,然后考虑到孩子的特点,“放松”不合适,应该是“兴奋”。故选C。
6.In the third paragraph, an airline flight experience is mentioned to show .
A.a train ride is more comfortable
B.a train ride is too long
C.an airline flight is miserable
D.an airline flight is easier
【解析】选A。推理判断题。作者在第三段中提到了两种旅行方式,乘火车和乘飞机,其中大篇幅讲到乘飞机的种种不便,“An airline flight is a more miserable experience for me”(对我来说,坐飞机是一种更悲惨的经历)为的是衬托坐火车的好处,故选A。
7.Which of the following words best describes the whole family’s feeling about the train journey
A.Moved. B.Nervous.
C.Disappointed. D.Delighted.
【解析】选D。推理判断题。根据第二段第二句(火车开始驶离哈钦森站时,我的儿子威廉眼睛睁得大大的,高兴地喊道:“我们要开动了”)及下文可知,作者在整个文章中所讲述和议论的都是乘坐火车旅行的好处,故选D。

旅行前准备 说明文 289 6分钟
If you are planning on travelling, there are a few simple rules about how to make life easier both before and after your journey.
First of all, always check and double check departure (启程) time.It is amazing how few people really do this carefully.Once I arrived at the airport a few minutes after ten, my secretary had got the ticket for me and I thought she had said that the plane left at 10:50.When I arrived at the airport, the clerk at the departure desk told me that my flight was closed.Therefore, I had to wait three hours for the next one and missed an important meeting.
The second rule is to remember that even in this age of credit cards, it is still important to have some local cash with you when you arrive in a country.Once I arrived at a place at midnight and the bank at the airport was closed.The only way to get to my hotel was by taxi and because I had no dollars, I offered to pay in pounds instead.“Listen! I only take real money!” the driver said angrily.Luckily I was able to borrow a few dollars from a clerk at the hotel, but it was embarrassing.
The third and last rule is to find out as much as you can about the weather at your destination before you leave.I feel sorry for some of my workmates who travel in heavy suits and raincoats in May, when it is still fairly cool in London or Manchester, to places like Athens, Rome or Madrid, where it is already beginning to get quite warm during the day.
【语篇概述】这是一篇说明文。文章从三个方面介绍了在旅行前需要做哪些准备。
1.According to the passage, the driver was angry because the writer .
A.did not give him the local money
B.gave him false money
C.offered to pay by credit card
D.had no enough change
【解析】选A。推理判断题。根据第三段第一句(第二条规则是要记住,即使在这个使用信用卡的时代,当你到达一个国家时,携带一些当地现金仍然很重要)和后文(到我的旅馆的唯一办法是坐出租车,因为我没有美元,我提出用英镑付款。“听着!我只收真钱!”司机生气地说。幸运的是,我从旅馆职员那里借到了几美元,但这很尴尬)可推知司机很生气是因为作者没有给他当地的钱。故选A。
2.Generally, in May the weather in London is .
A.warm and dry B.cold and dry
C.hot and wet D.cool and rainy
【解析】选D。推理判断题。根据最后一段第二句(我为我的一些同事感到遗憾,他们穿着厚重的西装和雨衣,在伦敦或曼彻斯特的五月天气还比较凉爽的时候,去雅典、罗马或马德里这样的地方,那里白天已经开始变得相当暖和了)可推知五月伦敦的天气一般凉爽多雨。故选D。
3.The writer mainly tells us .
A.how to plan our trip
B.how to enjoy ourselves on trip
C.how to make life easier
D.how to be well prepared for a trip
【解析】选D。主旨大意题。第一段(如果你计划去旅行,这里有一些简单的规则可以让你在旅行前后的生活更轻松)是全文的主题句,结合下文从三个方面介绍了在旅行前需要做哪些准备,可知这篇文章主要讲了如何做好旅行准备。故选D。

Tips for Green Travel with Kids
Travelling doesn’t mean letting go of all the eco-friendly choices we work so hard to achieve in our daily life.Here are a few tips for green travel with kids:
Booking non-stop flights whenever possible will reduce carbon emissions (碳排放).If the closest local airport doesn’t have non-stop flights to a certain place, check in with other local airports to see if non-stop flights are available.1.
Whether you’re flying or driving, it’s easy when travelling to pull into fast food restaurants for snacks.2. My kids love to help plan snacks.I let them create their own snacks for the trip at home.
3. At the airport, keep your reusable bottles empty until you have passed through the security (安检).Fill them up on the other side of the security checkpoint.Single-use plastic water bottles create unnecessary waste and the plastic can be harmful to your health.
4. Open a few windows and turn off the air conditioner (空调).You should also help your children keep their good, green habits from home to place while travelling.Sometimes vacation can mean more than one shower each day—once in the morning and again after getting out of the pool.Pay attention to the number of showers and the length of showers. 5.
A.Walking is good for your health.
B.Try to cut back to save water and energy.
C.But you can pack healthy food from home.
D.Travelling is a great chance to introduce your kids to the world.
E.Reusable water bottles are easy to bring along wherever you travel.
F.Save energy by turning off the hotel room lights when you head out for the day.
G.You might have to drive a bit further, but saving on carbon emissions makes it worthwhile.
【语篇概述】本文是一篇说明文。文章给出了几点绿色出行的建议。
1.【解析】选G。根据上一句内容可知,如果最近的本地机场没有直飞某个地方的航班,请与其他当地机场联系,看看是否有直达航班。此处承接上文,讲的还是关于搭乘直达航班这一话题,即:你可以去稍远一点的机场搭乘直达航班,G项中的a bit further与上文中的closest 相呼应,故选G。
2.【解析】选C。根据下文(我的孩子喜欢帮我计划零食。我让他们在家里为旅行制作自己的零食。)可知,此处讲的是关于准备旅行零食方面的内容,说明可以自己在家制作零食带着,故选C。
3.【解析】选E。根据下文(在机场,在通过安检之前,请将可重复使用的瓶子空着。在安全检查站的另一边装满水)可知,此处讲的是关于旅行中自备水瓶的内容。故选E。
4.【解析】选F。根据下文(打开几扇窗户,关掉空调)可知,此处讲的是关于节约用电方面的内容,选项F.Save energy by turning off the hotel room lights when you head out for the day.符合语境,故选F。
5.【解析】选B。根据上文(注意淋浴的次数和时间)可知,此处讲的是节约用水。故选B。
