2023年高考英语阅读理解（议论文）专题练习（含答案）
1．阅读理解
On her first day teaching students from poor families at an after school program in New York City, Alyssa Kapasi noticed how many kids were lining up for free sandwiches and fruit in the school cafeteria. One of the workers explained that many of these students don't get enough to eat at home, so a school lunch or an after school meal might be the most food they would get all day.
Kapasi, who attends private school, was very surprised. What's more, she made up her mind to help. "I want other kids to understand that if you see a problem, you don't have to wait to grow up to fix it," says Kapasi. She and a group of friends are now putting their programming skills to work to create an app called Food for Thought, which will allow parents, students, and even kind hearted strangers to donate to a lunch account for a student in need at a nearby school.
About 20 million American kids receive free lunches. Two million more can have low price meals, and those students' families have to pay for part of their food. When they don't have the money on any given day, the students might have to settle for an "alternative (可替代的) meal" such as a cheese sandwich.
The app — which is getting financial (财政的) support from a GoFundMe page — provides anonymity (匿名) to those who receive lunch and donors. To receive help, a family will need only a recommendation (推荐) from a school teacher, and no one else has to know.
"I want to make an app that all users feel no shame in using," says Kapasi. She hopes to test the app in a school district this fall.
（1）Why does Kapasi want to create an app
A．To teach kids how to help others.

A．Buy. B．Make. C．Accept. D．Offer.
（3）What should a family do if they want to get help from Food for Thought
A．Visit a GoFundMe page. B．Get in touch with Kapasi.
C．Be recommended by teachers. D．Donate something else instead.
（4）What can we infer about the users of Kapasi's app

C．They will know who offers them help.
D．They won't meet their donors until this fall.

Idema, a Dutch Sinologist（汉学家）, has served as the director of the Chinese Languages and Cultures Department at Leiden University of the Netherlands and was also director of Harvard's Fairbank Center for East Asian Research.He has studied ancient Chinese plays, novels and literature, and has authored or translated a number of influential books published in English and other languages.
The 70-year-old Dutch Sinologist recalled his half-century-long romance with Chinese culture during a recent visit to Beijing.As a child,the vivid descriptions of China in Nobel and Pulitzer Prize-winner Pearl S.Buck's books sparked Idema's interest in the country.He later read classic Chinese literature and spent whole days pouring through works at the National Library of China.
While many other experts on China focused on the country's economic transformation, Idema continued to study traditional Chinese literature."There were scholars studying law, religion and society, but not traditional Chinese literature,which was my personal interest," Idema explains.
Finding reference books for his research,especially regional publications,used to be a huge challenge,and Idema used to spend a lot of time collecting books and other materials during visits to China.Now it is much more convenient with the Internet.
Idema usually chooses less-known subjects for his research and tries to get firsthand materials.In recent years, he has devoted himself to translating Chinese folk tales and writing about Chinese folk society and folk culture.
"Traditional Chinese culture is a passion.I have been studying it for 50 years and will continue to do so,"says the retired professor.

When youwatch a movie these days, it's difficult to tell what's real and what's createdby using computers. Visual effects can even change how movies are made.
Almostanything that can be imagined by a director can now become reality in the worldof movies. "We're really not limited by the technology, '' said DavidSmith, the CEO of Sony Pictures Imageworks. Mr Smith said that with today'stechnology, the digital world was more realistic than ever before. For TheAmazing Spider-Man 2, Mr Smith's team created a Times Square that was exactlylike the real one in New York. "If there are lights inside the stores thatare lighting areas inside the store we put those lights there," said MrSmith.
But therewas still one challenge for visual effects artists, said Paul Debevec of theUniversity of Southern California Institute for Creative Technologies."We're still trying to figure out how to perfect the human face in movies," said Debevec. He said the movie — The Curious Case of Benjamin Button was still one of the bestexamples of computer generated movies, as actor Brad Pitt could be from an agedman to a baby in the movie.
Mr Debevecadded that besides changing the look of an actor's face, there could be anotheruse for digital faces in the entertainment. Last year, effects artistscreated a digital face of the Asian pop singer Teresa Teng who was dead. Fanscould still see and hear the concert on YouTube.
Mr Debevecexpects directors will start to use more virtual production techniques, likethose seen in the movie Avatar. Mr Debevec says that with virtual production,there won't be a need for so many people behind the scenes. But visual effectsartists agree, even with advanced technology, there is no replacement for areal actor showing a character in a movie.
