Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
(2021·漳州二模)Picture a lecture session at a business school and you probably imagine students gazing at screens filled with equations (方程式)．What you might not expect is students attempting to sing O Clap Your Hands.But Bartleby was treated to this_delight on a visit to Sa d Business School in Oxford earlier this year.
There was a catch.Some of the students had to try conducting the chorus.The first to take the challenge was a rather self confident young man.It didn't take long for him to go wrong.His most obvious mistake was to start conducting without asking the singers how they would like to be directed, though they had the expertise and he was a complete beginner.
The session, organized by Pegram Harrison, a senior fellow in entrepreneurship (创业学), cleverly allowed the students to absorb some important leadership lessons.For example, leaders should listen to their teams, especially when their colleagues have specialist knowledge.
Other business schools have also realized that their students can learn from the arts.At Carnegie Mellon University, Leanne Meyer has introduced a leadership training programme that includes poetry and a book club.She believed that involvement in such pursuits can help develop empathy (同理心) in future leaders and that the programme benefits students in terms of how they promote themselves to recruiters (招聘人员)．
The Royal Academy of Dramatic Art(RADA)has trained many great dramatists.It also offers training courses for managers.“Acting is about finding the truth in the character and in yourself，” says Walker Wise, one of RADA's tutors.Being a manager involves a lot more than just setting targets.It requires empathy and a knowledge of human nature.An education in the arts might help develop those qualities.Above all, the students on Harrison's course were experiencing something Bartleby never expected to see in those attending an MBA lecture—they were having fun.

(2021·北京房山区一模)It's never too early to start doing good deeds for others.Adults should always be role models for children and the youth, but sometimes those roles are easily exchanged.A young boy did just that—showing that at an early age one can do more to uplift others.
Pavel, a 9 year old Russian boy, made up his mind to use his talent to reach out to those in need.The young artist from the small city of Arzamas decided to use his love for painting into helping animals, by exchanging his artwork for animal food and supplies, which are then donated to a local shelter.
Pavel had this wonderful idea for helping animals when his family lost one of their own pets.He also began to grow concerned over the situation of stray animals wandering in the city.He felt it was his duty to help, which resulted in a project called “Kind Paintbrush”．It was set up by Pavel and his mother.The project started as a way to honor the memory of their pet, but has since evolved into a distinctive way of helping animals.Only one animal shelter, housing over 100 dogs, exists in the local area, and Pavel is its youngest volunteer.To support the shelter, Pavel draws images of real pets and in return, he is paid with animal food and other needs of the shelter.
This isn't even the first time that mother and son have volunteered their time to a worthy endeavor.They work on their own time and effort, with no support from other organizations.They are simply motivated by their empathy, huge heart, and willingness to use their skills for helping animals.
This stimulating project has already grown beyond Arzamas city.Pavel has become quite a sensation, particularly among animal lovers in Russia who have been in touch to have portraits of their pets made.Requests for paintings of their pets have also come from abroad, such as Spain and Germany.

(2021·太原高三模拟)
The Chinese Doctor Who Beat the Plague (鼠疫)
In the winter of 1910, Dr.Wu Lien teh stepped off a train in the northern Chinese city of Harbin.He was there to solve a medical mystery, at great personal risk.Over the past few months, an unknown disease had swept along the railways of northeast China, killing 99.9% of its victims.The Qing Imperial Court had sent the Cambridge educated Dr.Wu north to stop the epidemic (流行病)．
When Dr.Wu arrived in Harbin on December 24, 1910, he carried little in the way of medical instruments and had only one assistant.One of Wu's first acts upon arrival was to set up special quarantine (隔离) units and to order lockdowns to stop infected persons from traveling and spreading the disease.He had teams check households for possible cases, and even managed to convince authorities to completely close the railways in the early weeks of 1911.Of particular concern was the upcoming Chinese New Year holiday, which had become a great annual migration of people traveling across the country to see their families.
Thanks to Dr.Wu's efforts, the number of plague victims began to decrease, and by March 1，1911, the epidemic was fully contained.The plague outbreak of 1910－1911 lasted nearly four months, affected five provinces and six major cities, and accounted for over 60，000 deaths.It was clear that without the brave and decisive actions taken by Dr.Wu it could have been much worse.Had the epidemic gone unchecked, allowing holiday rail passengers to spread the disease to the rest of China could have meant a catastrophic loss of life and possibly a global health crisis.
In April 1911, Dr.Wu chaired an International Plague Conference in Shenyang, attended by scientists from 11 countries including the United States, Japan and France.They praised Dr.Wu for his handling of the 1910－1911 outbreak.For a time, Dr.Wu was the world's most famous plague fighter, a title he defended in fighting cholera in China in 1919, and a return of plague in 1921.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇记叙文。1910年的冬天，一种死亡率极高的流行病席卷中国东北，在剑桥受过教育的伍连德医生被派去阻止这种流行病。他到达目的地后，采取了诸如设立专门的隔离病区、对感染者实行活动限制之类的有效措施，由于伍连德医生的努力，鼠疫最终被完全控制。
9．What was Dr.Wu's mission in 1910
A．To take personal risks.
B．To end an epidemic.
C．To provide medical education.
D．To investigate the number of victims.
B 解析：细节理解题。根据第一段中的尾句“The Qing Imperial Court had sent the Cambridge educated Dr.Wu north to stop the epidemic (流行病)．”可知，清朝政府派遣在剑桥受过教育的伍医生北上，以阻止这种流行病。故选B。
10．Which of Dr.Wu's acts stopped the disease from spreading nationwide
A．Setting up special quarantine units.
B．Carrying medical instruments with him.
C．Checking households for possible cases.
D．Convincing authorities to close the railways.
D 解析：细节理解题。根据题干关键词“spreading nationwide”定位至第二段中的最后两句“...even managed to convince authorities to completely close the railways in the early weeks of 1911...to see their families”和第三段中的最后一句可知，他说服当局在春节前彻底关闭铁路，防止人口通过铁路流动，从而阻止了鼠疫在全国传播，故选D。
11．What can we infer from the third paragraph
A．The disease worsened after March 1, 1911.
B．60，000 people would have died without Dr.Wu's efforts.
C．The world was saved from a major epidemic in 1911.
D．A global health crisis followed the 1910－1911 outbreak.
C 解析：推理判断题。 根据第三段中的尾句可知，如果疫情没有得到控制，允许假期乘坐火车的旅客将疾病传播到中国其他地方，可能意味着灾难性的生命损失，并可能引发全球健康危机。据此可以推断，鼠疫在1911年得到完全控制，有效阻止了其向世界传播，故选C。
12．What can we know about Dr.Wu from the last paragraph
A．He continued to fight epidemics after 1911.
B．He was infected with cholera in 1919.
C．He traveled worldwide hosting conferences.
D．He claimed the plague would never happen again.
A 解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段中的尾句可知，那时伍医生是世界上最著名的抗击鼠疫的人，他在抗击1919年中国的霍乱和1921年卷土重来的鼠疫中捍卫了这一称号。据此可推知，在1911年之后，他继续卓有成效地抗击流行病，故选A。
Ⅱ.七选五

When Dr.Wu arrived in Harbin on December 24, 1910, he carried little in the way of medical instruments and had only one assistant.One of Wu's first acts upon arrival was to set up special quarantine (隔离) units and to order lockdowns to stop infected persons from traveling and spreading the disease.He had teams check households for possible cases, and even managed to convince authorities to completely close the railways in the early weeks of 1911.Of particular concern was the upcoming Chinese New Year holiday, which had become a great annual migration of people traveling across the country to see their families.
Thanks to Dr.Wu's efforts, the number of plague victims began to decrease, and by March 1，1911, the epidemic was fully contained.The plague outbreak of 1910－1911 lasted nearly four months, affected five provinces and six major cities, and accounted for over 60，000 deaths.It was clear that without the brave and decisive actions taken by Dr.Wu it could have been much worse.Had the epidemic gone unchecked, allowing holiday rail passengers to spread the disease to the rest of China could have meant a catastrophic loss of life and possibly a global health crisis.
In April 1911, Dr.Wu chaired an International Plague Conference in Shenyang, attended by scientists from 11 countries including the United States, Japan and France.They praised Dr.Wu for his handling of the 1910－1911 outbreak.For a time, Dr.Wu was the world's most famous plague fighter, a title he defended in fighting cholera in China in 1919, and a return of plague in 1921.
