(2021·武汉高一检测)
School had just started in August when Conner began throwing up for no reason.It wasn’t long before the boy also began suffering terrible headaches.In February a 1.7-inch tumor (肿瘤) was found in his brain and Conner was set to begin to receive radiation treatments(放射疗法).Before treatments start, technicians make a white plastic mask (面罩) to keep patients immovable and protect unaffected parts of the brain while radiation is directed at the tumor.
It’s an unpleasant experience and a frightening time.The doctor Cook decided that the masks could at least be made to look like something fun — maybe Batman or Mickey Mouse.“I started thinking these masks are white and not fun at all for kids,” she told The Greenville News.“I felt like if we could make it a little more fun for them, they might be a little more excited about coming in for the treatment.Because the kids are afraid.While the treatment itself isn’t physically painful, it can cause a lot of anxiety (焦虑).And the treatment is required daily for up to six weeks.” And the masks really make a difference.“The kids really like them,” Cook said.“It makes what is, let’s face it, a terrible experience, a nice experience because they get to choose something themselves.”
When new children come in for the treatment, Cook finds out what their favorite movies or cartoon characters are.Then she sets about creating the mask by drawing the image she wants onto paper, sticking it with glue, and once it’s dry, she applies the colors using paints.Each child can take the mask home once the treatment ends.
“Coming to the doctor always means fear and pain.I wanted to make it fun,” she said.“The kids really love it.It’s something they enjoy and can relate to.And it fills an interest I have.I get great pleasure from it.”
【语篇概述】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了库克医生通过绘画使面罩对孩子们更有吸引力,帮助在放射治疗中的孩子们的故事。

A.To check the patient’s brain.
B.To reduce the patient’s headache.
C.To prevent the patient from throwing up.
D.To protect the patient’s brain during the treatment.

A.It can be received at home.
B.It has to be finished in a month.
C.It may make the patients feel worried.
D.It will cause huge physical pain for patients.

【难句剖析】
Then she sets about creating the mask by drawing the image she wants onto paper,sticking it with glue,and once it’s dry,she applies the colors using paints.
句意:然后她开始创作面具,把她想要的图像画在纸上,用胶水粘在上面,一旦它干燥,她就用油漆将其涂上颜色。set about doing sth.开始做某事;stick sth. with sth.用……将……粘起来;apply在此句中指“涂抹”。

Experts are warning about the risks of extreme picky eating after a teenager living on a diet of chips and crisps developed lasting sight loss.Eye doctors in Bristol cared for the 17-year-old after his vision had gone to the point of blindness.Tests show he had serious vitamin deficiencies(缺乏).Dr Denize Atan, who treated him at the hospital, said, “His diet was basically a portion of chips from the local fish and chip shop every day.He also used to snack on crisps and sometimes white bread and ham, and not really any fruit and vegetables.”
The teenager had seen his doctor at the age of 14 because he had been feeling tired and unwell.At that time he suffered from vitamin B12 deficiency, but he did not stick with the treatment or improve his poor diet.Three years later, he was taken to the Bristol Eye Hospital because of progressive sight loss.
He was not overweight or underweight, but he had lost minerals from his bones, which was really quite shocking for a boy of his age.In terms of his sight loss, he met the standards of being blind.“He had blind spots right in the middle of his vision,” said Dr Denize Atan.“That means he can’t drive and would find it really arduous to read, watch TV or recognize faces.”
Dr Denize Atan said that parents should learn about the harm that can be caused by picky eating, and turn to experts for help.For those who are concerned, she advised,“It’s best not to be anxious about picky eating, and instead calmly introduce one or two new foods with every meal.” She said multivitamin tablets can supplement a diet, but cannot take the place of eating healthily.“It’s much better to take in vitamins through a varied and balanced diet,” she said, adding that too many certain vitamins, including vitamin A, can be harmful, “so you don’t want to overdo it.”
【语篇概述】本文是一篇说明文。文章通过布里斯托尔的一个青少年的故事,说明了长期挑食会对视力造成不良的影响。
28.What does Dr Denize Atan mean in Paragraph 1
A.The diet of the boy is not balanced.
B.Fruit and vegetables are rich in vitamins.
C.Picky eating is common among children.
D.The cause of the boy’s disease is unknown.
【解析】选A。推理判断题。根据第一段中的“His diet was basically a portion of chips from the local fish and chip shop every day.He also used to snack on crisps and sometimes white bread and ham,and not really any fruit and vegetables.”可知,Dr Denize Atan指出这位青少年常吃炸薯条、白面包和火腿,不吃水果和蔬菜,由此可推知,Dr Denize Atan认为他的饮食不均衡。
29.Why did the boy go to see his doctor at the age of 14
A.To improve his poor diet.
B.To get some help to lose weight.
C.To be treated for his discomfort.
D.To slow down his progressive sight loss.
【解析】选C。细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The teenager had seen his doctor at the age of 14 because he had been feeling tired and unwell”可知,在十四岁时,他因为长期感到劳累和不适去就医。
30.What does the underlined word “arduous” probably mean in Paragraph 3
A.Important. B.Easy.
C.Necessary. D.Difficult.
【解析】选D。词义猜测题。根据第三段中的“He had blind spots right in the middle of his vision”以及结合画线词所在句句意可知,在他的视力中间有盲点,这意味着他不能开车,也很难阅读,看电视或识别人脸,所以画线词arduous的意思是“艰难的”。
31.What does the last paragraph mainly talk about
A.Reasons for the boy’s being ill seriously.
B.Suggestions for the boy’s family to care for him.
C.Advice for parents worried about picky eating.
D.Ways of taking in enough vitamins and minerals.
【解析】选C。段落大意题。通读最后一段可知,本段主要说的是在面对孩子挑食的问题上,专家建议父母们怎么做。
【易错提醒】有的同学受最后一段的 “It’s much better to...so you don’t want to overdo it.”部分影响,片面地以为这是在讲如何摄入某些维生素,于是误选成D。其实通过观察本段的第一句Dr Denize Atan said that parents should...以及For those who are concerned,she advised...,这些都告诉我们,本段就是Dr Denize Atan向父母提建议的,因此C项正确。
D

When travelling abroad, you have to spend some time thinking about gifts.What should you buy for your family or your best friend It could be a Yankees baseball cap if you visit the U.S.A.In Vietnam, a straw hat called a non la is a popular tourist gift.If you ever visit Russia, you may want to think about buying a set of Russian dolls (玩具娃娃).They are like no other doll.
The proper name for a Russian doll is a Matryoshka doll.When you first see it,it looks like a single doll.Pick it up and twist(扭转)its top, you will find that it comes apart around the middle.Inside is a second doll,looking exactly the same as the first, but smaller.Twist the second doll, and the same thing happens.You keep twisting each doll until you end up with a very tiny doll.Usually, there can be up to 10 dolls making up a set.
Russian dolls were first made in 1890 and included eight dolls.These were all hand carved and painted.They were dressed in a traditional dress called a sarafan.The word“Matryoshka” means matron—an older married woman.The idea was that it meant a family with the mother being at its head.The dolls proved to be very popular and it was not long before every woodworker was making them.
The Russian doll appeared at the Paris World’s Fair in 1900.Everyone who saw them wanted one.Soon people visiting Russia also wanted to have one.Being quite small, they could fit into tourists’ luggage (行李) very easily—unlike a non la! The dolls were all hand carved and painted until about 1930,when factories began producing Russian dolls which are not expensive.
Walking around the tourist streets of Moscow, you will find many shops selling Russian dolls.The traditional Matryoshka dolls are still there, but today you can also find the images(形象)of all kinds of different people.

A letter to my children on their first day of school
Dear Olivia and Evan,
As I opened my eyes this morning, the realization that you will be starting a new school year at a new school today controlled my mind for a moment.As we went about our morning routine (例行事务), I thought of so many things I wanted to say to you.
As I quietly entered your room and softly kissed you awake—I wanted to tell you that I know what it’s like to be the new kid.I understand worrying about finding your way both physically and socially.You’ll spend a lifetime finding your way.36.
As I stood at the bathroom door while you brushed your teeth—I wanted to tell you to try not to look so nervous.37. It is said a picture is worth a thousand words.I believe a smile is worth at least that much.
38. —I wanted to tell you if at any moment today you find yourself in an uncomfortable situation, just breathe.You’ll be surprised how a couple of deep breaths can help you see things in a whole new light.
As we got in the car—I wanted to tell you not everyone will have things in common with you.39. They may pleasantly surprise you.
As I drove the few blocks to school—I wanted to tell you to listen when the teacher speaks, when someone new talks about themselves, etc.40.
As you got out of the car I gave you each a kiss and a hug and said— “Just be yourself, and remember how much I love you.I’ll be waiting to hear all about your experiences this afternoon.”
I realized that’s really all you needed to hear.
Love,
Mom

39.【解析】选D。上文I wanted to tell you not everyone will have things in common with you.提到了我想告诉你们并不是所有人都和你们一样,由此可知接下来应该是强调我们中存在的“不同”,并鼓励孩子接受这些“不同”,因为,这些“不同”会给你惊喜。故选D。
40.【解析】选F。上文I wanted to tell you to listen when the teacher speaks,when someone new talks about themselves,etc.提到作者告诉孩子老师讲话时,新认识的人讲关于自己的事的时候都要认真听,所以本段主要是强调“听”的重要性。F.Listening is one of those skills that will come in handy later in life.“听”是今后人生中派得上用处的技能之一。故选F。

Home improvement is key and it is generally anything that can help make your home feel more relaxing and comfortable to live in.There are of course, several factors that need to be considered with regards to home improvement.However, while you are caught up in all the improvements you should and can make to your home, don’t forget about color.Scientifically, it has been proven that colors can indeed have a psychological impact on us.And the exact kind of impact will vary with each color.Therefore, color is an important tool that can be used to change or control our emotions and state of mind.So, while picking colors for your home, be sure that they match what you hope to achieve.By understanding the psychological implications(心理含义) of different colors, you can make well informed color choices for your home and rooms.
Red is a color that is commonly associated with hunger, headaches, stress and excitement, which explains why red is usually the better option for your kitchen or dining room.Red is also a good color to paint your gym if you have one, since it tends to cause excitement.On the other hand, you should avoid painting your bedrooms red if you want to get any sleep.
White is a color for cleanliness and purity.It’s no coincidence (巧合)why bathrooms and kitchens are often painted white.White can also describe a clean and harmless environment.White also helps other colors stand out.So smart blending with other colors can add beauty to a space.
Blue reflects a comfort, calm and peace atmosphere.Blue is a great color choice for offices or study rooms, bathrooms, living rooms or your bedroom.The color blue is also said to increase focus, lower heart rate and increase productivity.On the contrary, avoid painting your dining room or kitchen blue since it can decrease appetites.
So put some serious thoughts into your color choice.Consider how you will use each room in your home and choose wisely.

School had just started in August when Conner began throwing up for no reason.It wasn’t long before the boy also began suffering terrible headaches.In February a 1.7-inch tumor (肿瘤) was found in his brain and Conner was set to begin to receive radiation treatments(放射疗法).Before treatments start, technicians make a white plastic mask (面罩) to keep patients immovable and protect unaffected parts of the brain while radiation is directed at the tumor.
It’s an unpleasant experience and a frightening time.The doctor Cook decided that the masks could at least be made to look like something fun — maybe Batman or Mickey Mouse.“I started thinking these masks are white and not fun at all for kids,” she told The Greenville News.“I felt like if we could make it a little more fun for them, they might be a little more excited about coming in for the treatment.Because the kids are afraid.While the treatment itself isn’t physically painful, it can cause a lot of anxiety (焦虑).And the treatment is required daily for up to six weeks.” And the masks really make a difference.“The kids really like them,” Cook said.“It makes what is, let’s face it, a terrible experience, a nice experience because they get to choose something themselves.”
When new children come in for the treatment, Cook finds out what their favorite movies or cartoon characters are.Then she sets about creating the mask by drawing the image she wants onto paper, sticking it with glue, and once it’s dry, she applies the colors using paints.Each child can take the mask home once the treatment ends.
“Coming to the doctor always means fear and pain.I wanted to make it fun,” she said.“The kids really love it.It’s something they enjoy and can relate to.And it fills an interest I have.I get great pleasure from it.”
24.Why was the plastic mask used according to Paragraph 1
A.To check the patient’s brain.
B.To reduce the patient’s headache.
C.To prevent the patient from throwing up.
D.To protect the patient’s brain during the treatment.
25.What can we know about the radiation treatment
A.It can be received at home.
B.It has to be finished in a month.
C.It may make the patients feel worried.
D.It will cause huge physical pain for patients.
26.What does Cook do to help the children being treated
A.Offer them some free masks as gifts.
B.Show them their favorite movies or TV shows.
C.Dress them up as cartoon characters.
D.Make the masks more interesting to kids.
27.What does the author want to show by telling this story
A.Love can treat the terrible sickness.
B.Kindness can bring warmth and joy.
C.Health matters to everyone.
D.Creativity leads to success.

Experts are warning about the risks of extreme picky eating after a teenager living on a diet of chips and crisps developed lasting sight loss.Eye doctors in Bristol cared for the 17-year-old after his vision had gone to the point of blindness.Tests show he had serious vitamin deficiencies(缺乏).Dr Denize Atan, who treated him at the hospital, said, “His diet was basically a portion of chips from the local fish and chip shop every day.He also used to snack on crisps and sometimes white bread and ham, and not really any fruit and vegetables.”
The teenager had seen his doctor at the age of 14 because he had been feeling tired and unwell.At that time he suffered from vitamin B12 deficiency, but he did not stick with the treatment or improve his poor diet.Three years later, he was taken to the Bristol Eye Hospital because of progressive sight loss.
He was not overweight or underweight, but he had lost minerals from his bones, which was really quite shocking for a boy of his age.In terms of his sight loss, he met the standards of being blind.“He had blind spots right in the middle of his vision,” said Dr Denize Atan.“That means he can’t drive and would find it really arduous to read, watch TV or recognize faces.”
Dr Denize Atan said that parents should learn about the harm that can be caused by picky eating, and turn to experts for help.For those who are concerned, she advised,“It’s best not to be anxious about picky eating, and instead calmly introduce one or two new foods with every meal.” She said multivitamin tablets can supplement a diet, but cannot take the place of eating healthily.“It’s much better to take in vitamins through a varied and balanced diet,” she said, adding that too many certain vitamins, including vitamin A, can be harmful, “so you don’t want to overdo it.”
28.What does Dr Denize Atan mean in Paragraph 1
A.The diet of the boy is not balanced.
B.Fruit and vegetables are rich in vitamins.
C.Picky eating is common among children.
D.The cause of the boy’s disease is unknown.
29.Why did the boy go to see his doctor at the age of 14
A.To improve his poor diet.
B.To get some help to lose weight.
C.To be treated for his discomfort.
D.To slow down his progressive sight loss.
30.What does the underlined word “arduous” probably mean in Paragraph 3
A.Important. B.Easy.
C.Necessary. D.Difficult.
31.What does the last paragraph mainly talk about
A.Reasons for the boy’s being ill seriously.
B.Suggestions for the boy’s family to care for him.
C.Advice for parents worried about picky eating.
D.Ways of taking in enough vitamins and minerals.

When travelling abroad, you have to spend some time thinking about gifts.What should you buy for your family or your best friend It could be a Yankees baseball cap if you visit the U.S.A.In Vietnam, a straw hat called a non la is a popular tourist gift.If you ever visit Russia, you may want to think about buying a set of Russian dolls (玩具娃娃).They are like no other doll.
The proper name for a Russian doll is a Matryoshka doll.When you first see it,it looks like a single doll.Pick it up and twist(扭转)its top, you will find that it comes apart around the middle.Inside is a second doll,looking exactly the same as the first, but smaller.Twist the second doll, and the same thing happens.You keep twisting each doll until you end up with a very tiny doll.Usually, there can be up to 10 dolls making up a set.
Russian dolls were first made in 1890 and included eight dolls.These were all hand carved and painted.They were dressed in a traditional dress called a sarafan.The word“Matryoshka” means matron—an older married woman.The idea was that it meant a family with the mother being at its head.The dolls proved to be very popular and it was not long before every woodworker was making them.
The Russian doll appeared at the Paris World’s Fair in 1900.Everyone who saw them wanted one.Soon people visiting Russia also wanted to have one.Being quite small, they could fit into tourists’ luggage (行李) very easily—unlike a non la! The dolls were all hand carved and painted until about 1930,when factories began producing Russian dolls which are not expensive.
Walking around the tourist streets of Moscow, you will find many shops selling Russian dolls.The traditional Matryoshka dolls are still there, but today you can also find the images(形象)of all kinds of different people.
32.As a tourist gift, where does a non la most probably come from
A.France. B.Russia. C.Vietnam. D.America.
33.What can we learn about the early Matryoshka dolls

A letter to my children on their first day of school

As I opened my eyes this morning, the realization that you will be starting a new school year at a new school today controlled my mind for a moment.As we went about our morning routine (例行事务), I thought of so many things I wanted to say to you.

Love,
