（2023春·浙江·高三天台中学校联考一模）Daniel Brush, an astonishing worker in gold, jewels and steel died on November 2022, aged 75. Students from a jewellery school once came to Brush’s studio, a loft in mid-Manhattan, awed to be meeting a figure who, to them, was a worker of miracles.
For 45 years in that loft, he had pursued his calling. His wife Olivia was the only company. He produced hundreds of objects of all sorts, most of them exquisite and many astonishingly small. Rather than use electricity, he laboured alone in a forest of antique machines and when tools frustrated him he made his own, displaying them in cupboards as art in themselves.
Above all else, he worked in gold. His obsession took fire when at 13 he saw an Etruscan gold bowl in the Victoria and Albert Museum. The ancient technique of applying gold beads as fine as sand-grains to a curved gold surface without solder (焊接), was stunning, but so was the lightness of spirit.
He resolved then that he would make such a bowl, and gold became the study of his life. Simply to watch it melt, turn to red-hot and white-hot, then glow purple, was magical. To hold pure gold grain and let it move slowly through his fingers restored his calm of spirit. His chief motivation, he said, was to understand the material and, through that, himself. He wondered why his heart had beaten so fast in the museum that day. Gold in particular had a message for him. His contact with this glorious metal might focus all his attention and help him to hear it.
He developed delicate craftsmanship, with each object virtually a museum piece. For Daniel Brush, he loved the idea that one might take a piece made by Brush out of a pocket, let its beauty pass from mind to mind, and smile. That too was what its maker was after.

（2023·浙江舟山·舟山中学校考模拟预测）I had not hugged a friend or a family member for more than two years until recently when my sister flew in for a brief visit. For safety, we met outside. Despite the wintry weather, her hug warmed me from the inside out. It’s strange, but only now do I truly realize how much I’ve missed embracing loved ones.
I grew up through war in my hometown of Sarajevo, Bosnia, and every moment was full of danger. On one peaceful morning, I had begged my mom to let me go outside after spending weeks indoors. She finally agreed. I was outside for only 10 minutes when I was caught in an explosion. I ran to my neighbor’s house for safety and hung my arms around her neck just as my legs collapsed underneath me.
Thankfully, I made a full physical recovery, but the emotional scars never left me. Years later there was another explosion near my house. I was safely inside, but my father had left to buy a loaf of bread. He had only just missed the explosion. When he came back inside, I gave him the biggest hug imaginable. I was caked in tears as I held him tight.
That same night my parents managed to arrange my escape from our war-torn city. I was 16 and came to America on my own. A generous host family took me in. They had a large dog called Oscar. Over the next several months, I secretly struggled with feeling homesick and worried about my family back home. Despite managing quite well at school, I couldn’t express my feelings. The only way I shared how I felt was by giving Oscar a big hug.
It is yet another sad aspect of our pandemic(疾病大流行的) lives that hugging a stranger is the last thing on our minds. For many of us, even hugging a relative or a friend comes with stress and anxiety over risks and precautions. As I look back on my past, I count myself truly lucky to have been held, shielded and encouraged at some of the most key moments of my life by the power of a hug.

（2022·浙江·一模）My two adult sons still live with me. Both of them have autism and other mental disabilities. My oldest boy works a few days a week at a local sheltered workshop. His younger brother, however, isn’t as high functioning. He speaks only a few words and stays home with me full-time, so my daughter and I can care for him.
The other day I was walking into a fast food restaurant holding his finger so we could go to the restroom before getting something to eat. As we walked by a teenage boy, I could see him staring at my youngest son. He quickly looked away either because he was uncomfortable or because he didn’t want to embarrass us. I wasn’t mad at him. Many people have done the same thing over the years. I only wish that they could see what I see when I look at my sons. I only wish that they could see behind the disguise (伪装).
You see, I have come to know that both of my sons are far brighter and more beautiful souls than I am. I have been blessed to be able to care for them, to love them, and to learn from them all these years. I am sure that both of them volunteered to come to this world as the mentally challenged to help teach us all how to love more deeply and unconditionally.
I have been my sons’ student as well as teacher in this life. As their father I did my best to teach them how to learn and do things with their limited intellectual abilities. And they did their best to show me how to laugh more freely, love more openly, and have joy more easily.
When you see the mentally challenged in this world, don’t just look with your eyes. Look with your heart. Let the light inside them brighten your own light as well. Let the love they share help you to share your own love too.

（2022·浙江金华·校联考一模）When I was in nursing school, I had to focus more on my studies than other aspects of life, and learn so much in a short amount of time. However, the clinical experience of nursing school allowed me to have the opportunity to put what I learned in my classes and readings into action.
One of my favorite experiences during my clinical training was when I had a patient who was first starting chemotherapy (化疗). My nursing instructor Marie told me that patients often experience an anaphylactic (过敏性的) reaction to the medicine when they first start chemotherapy, so it is important to give the medicine at a slower rate. Marie said that if we had a patient who reacted to the medicine, we should stop running the chemotherapy, check the patient’s blood pressure, and then give the appropriate medicine from the emergency kit.
When I checked my patient a couple of minutes after starting his chemotherapy, I asked him questions related to an anaphylactic reaction. I also noticed his face was getting a little red and he looked short of breath. He mentioned having lower back pain, so I immediately stopped the chemotherapy, started taking his blood pressure, and reported it to Marie. His blood pressure was within his normal limits, so we gave him Benadryl via his IV. The Benadryl helped the patient, and we had the Benadryl running when we started his chemotherapy again, but at a slower rate. This time the patient did not have an anaphylactic reaction, and tolerated his chemotherapy well.
This experience taught me how important it is to assess your patient and to teach your patient beforehand about the reaction the patient could have due to the medicine. Marie and I taught our patient about the reactions he could have due to the chemotherapy; due to our teaching, our patient recognized his symptoms and was able to know that what he was experiencing was an expected reaction. During the clinical training, I had many experiences where I had to think on my feet and conduct nursing care quickly. These experiences taught me a lot about how to be a nurse and emphasized the importance of conducting proper patient care.
13．Why did the author stop giving the patient chemotherapy
A．He had high blood pressure.
B．He had a reaction to the medicine.
C．He failed to tolerate the back pain.
D．He refused to answer her questions.
14．According to the author, what played a key role in saving the patient
A．Giving the patient immediate first aid.
B．Making adequate preparations in advance.
C．Assessing the effectiveness of the medicine.
D．Telling the patient the possible reactions of the medicine.
15．Which of the following words best describes the author’s clinical experience

（2022·浙江湖州·校联考一模）Born on her family’s farm in Ray, North Dakota, Mary Sherman Morgan had been helping her father with farm work before she could attend the small-town schoolhouse. Being a few years behind didn’t hold her back and she graduated from high school with honors. Aware of her intelligence, she ran away from Ray to attend Minot State University as a chemistry major, where her skill was evident.
The outbreak of World War II resulted in a national shortage of chemists and scientists. In spite of the fact that she was still a student and a woman, she was offered a job as a chemical analyst due to her talents, producing explosives(爆炸物)for the wartime effort. She put her degree on hold and moved to Ohio, taking on the dangerous job of analyzing unstable chemicals to produce weapons.
After the war ended there was a fall in demand for explosives, so she made a move to the field of aeronautics, moving to California to work for NAA(North American Aviation). The only woman out of 900 engineers, she was soon promoted to a role which involved calculating the performance of rocket propellants(推进剂)and designing speciality fuels to work with different engines. However, never having returned to complete her degree, she was not afforded the rank or higher pay of an engineer, even though she had all the skills and knowledge of one.
Her experience with propellants meant that when NAA was tasked to find a fuel capable of lifting the redesigned Redstone missiles into space, Mogan was appointed technical lead on the project. National pride was on the line, so Morgan set about investigating fuels. After countless trails, she finally designed her own mixture, which was named Hydyne.
Hydyne tested well with the Redstone missiles and subsequently other aircraft(飞行器), such as Jupiter-C rockets, proving to be a quick solution to getting to space without a total rocket redesign. The fuel made the first successful US satellite launch possible, even if Morgan silently slipped away from her success, retiring to focus on her family and leaving her chemistry career behind.
17．What do we know about Mary
A．She attended school while helping with farm work.
B．She was offered a job as a chemistry analyst after graduation.
C．She shifted her working focus as the domestic demand changed.
D．She launched the first US satellite before retiring from her career.
18．What does the underlined word “aeronautics” probably mean
A．Analyzing chemicals. B．Producing explosives.
C．Mixing and saving fuels. D．Designing and building aircraft.

A．Her discovery of Hydyne. B．Her rank as an engineer.
C．Her special knowledge in fuels. D．Her sense of national pride.
20．Which of the following words can best describe Mary Sherman Morgan
A．Caring and determined. B．Courageous and creative.

（2022·浙江杭州·一模）As the song “Bridge Over Troubled Water” echoed across the ice rink at the Beijing 2022, Chinese skaters Sui Wenjing and Han Cong completed their touching but powerful performance on Long Program, which successfully earned them their first-ever Olympic championship title and China’s second gold in the pair skating event at the Olympic Games. (The first was from Shen Xue and Zhao Hongbo at 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics.) Also, it was a perfect conclusion to their 15 years of cooperation.
Sui and Han, born in 1995 and 1992 respectively, had won almost every youth competition they took part in when they were young, yet constant injuries and accidents created a massive barrier to overcome when it came to reaching the Olympic podium(领奖台).
In 2014, an ankle injury caused Sui constant pain, forcing the pair lose their qualification for the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics. That should have been their first opportunity for Olympic gold. “It was a huge regret for us after preparing so much,” recalled Sui.
In 20l6, Sui finally underwent foot ligament(韧带) surgery, after which she went through a long recovery period. The doubt about whether she would ever skate again almost left her in despair. For Han, the training arena and the hospital were the only two places that Han would go.
After four years of waiting, the pair had the chance to compete at Pyeongchang 2018. Their performance there won them a silver medal.
Another four years later in Beijing, the then two-time world champions finished their entire routine with a total of 155.47 points, surpassing Team China’s top competitor, ROC’S Evgenia Tarasova and Vladimir Morozov, who won silver.
Talking about her future career direction, Sui said she is applying to be a choreography major, as she believes figure skating is a combination of this art form and skating techniques. “I have too many creative ideas for figure skating. It requires continuous learning and of course an endless passion for skating as well as perseveration, which is the key to success.”
21．What does the first paragraph focus on

（2022秋·浙江·高三校联考一模）As I walked into my new high school for the first time, I felt uncertain, nervous and lonely. I missed my old friends terribly. My head hurt with the thought of making new friends all over again.
What will my new friends be like Will we like each other Will I even make a friend These questions were on my mind, as I walked over to a group of girls.
I didn’t know anyone in my new school. It seemed like everyone was watching me, as if every head was turning towards me, waiting for me to make a wrong move.
I nervously said “hi” in a low voice, waving my hand at the group. Expecting them to start laughing and making fun of me, I was surprised when they waved back and asked me to sit with them.
As if a switch had been turned off, all the anxious thoughts that had been killing me were gone. A feeling of acceptance and excitement rushed over me as I happily chatted with the six girls, telling them more about myself.
Looking back at how anxious I was upon entering my new school for the first time, I now feel stupid for I had been losing my sleep over something so small. Being myself and being polite had worked out for me just fine. Being confident proved to be the key that fit perfectly into the lock on the door of friendship, the same door that I had been too scared to even knock on before.
I had never expected that by the end of the day I would have any friends at all, let alone six.

（2022秋·浙江·高三校联考一模）“I have travelled the world for 25 years in search of trouble,” admits Dr David Nott in his recent autobiography, War Doctor: Surgery on the Front Line. “It is a kind of addiction, a pull I find hard to resist.” This pull has seen him use his surgical skills to help those in need by taking unpaid, month-long breaks from his “day job” as an NHS surgeon in the UK every year to work in conflict zones and disaster areas.
He first worked in Sarajevo in 1993 as a volunteer with the French charity Médecins Sans Froatières. The hospital be worked in had so many holes in its walls caused by bombing and sniper (狙击手) fire that it was called the “Swiss Cheese Hospital”. It was his first insight into the terrifying reality of treating patients in a war zone. The hospital suffered power cuts during operations and he and his team were regularly shot at.
But Nott found this exhilarating. “Going to Sarajevo, almost getting killed, I had never felt so wonderful. I really felt as though somebody bad injected me with something. I felt fantastic. I think to skirt death — and then to realize how close you are to death and that you survived it — is exciting. And that’s the experience I’ve had many times over.”
This attitude may seem reckless (鲁莽的), but it means that Nott has saved lives in desperate situations. In Gaza in 2014, he decided not to abandon a young girl in the middle of surgery despite being told that the hospital was about to be bombed. He carried on, no bombs fell and the girl survived. He has kept a photograph of them taken together three days later. In Yemen, he operated on the wife of a bomb-maker who had accidentally blown up his own house. Nott found a detonator (雷管) buried in her leg and bad to carefully dispose of it before continuing the operation.

（2022秋·浙江·高三校联考一模）For many pop idol fans, having the opportunity to participate in a music video for their favorite pop songs might be a dream come true.
I, I had taken lessons at a Chinese-owned dance studio, and they began to hold auditions (试镜) for a special project—filming a music video! Those who passed the auditions would rehearse (排练) a well-designed dance and be filmed by a professional camera crew. I really like the song they chose—Kill This Love by Blackpink, a girl group from South Korea, so I auditioned.
I was confident at first in the audition, but as I felt more pressure, I forgot a few moves. This definitely hurt my chances, so I became very on edge about the results. Additionally, because Blackpink is a four-member group, the studio was only looking for four people, and over 20 people had auditioned. I was very unsure if my performance would be good enough for a callback.
Two weeks later when I had just about given up on hearing back, I got a text from the studio manager, saying, “Congratulations! You have passed the audition for Kill This Love.” I could barely contain my excitement, but wanting to seem mature, I replied to her in a calm and collected manner.
We were scheduled for five rehearsals in total, and the filming date was set for the middle of April. What really stirred up my excitement was knowing that we would be filmed in public. I would also be dancing the part of Rose, my favorite Blackpink member.
Our first rehearsal was on a Wednesday. The studio had rented the basement of a theater. There were, of course, difficulties. The dance routine included formations, so we had to learn the positions and transitions—things that we did not usually learn in our regular dance lessons. But it was just the four of us, and our teacher had enough time to work with each of us individually.
I have been practicing hard for my dream. I hope everything goes well, and I look forward to the upcoming performance!
37．How did I feel about the results after forgetting a few moves
A．Confident. B．Ambitious. C．Confused. D．Nervous.
38．Why did I reply to the manager calmly when I got the exciting text
A．Because I intended to present a mature image to her.
B．Because I was trained well enough to contain my feelings.
C．Because I knew that I was good enough for such a callback.
D．Because I had known the result before she informed me of it.
39．What was my first rehearsal in the basement like
A．Confusing but practical. B．Challenging but helpful.
C．Difficult but entertaining. D．Regular but rewarding.
40．What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage
A．To express the burning passion for Blackpink.
B．To show the difficulty in attending an audition.
C．To share a personal experience in pursuit of a dream.
D．To convey the excitement of engaging in a rehearsal.
