北京市东城区（2020-2022）三年高考英语模拟试题分知识点分层汇编-01主题（记叙文、生活故事）
一、阅读理解
（2022·北京东城·统考模拟预测）There is a connection I feel with horses that is unlike anything I have ever experienced. They can be frightening because of their size, speed and unpredictability, but they also force you to be calm. I think that was the smartest thing my first riding teacher taught me when I was seven: if you’re calm, they will be calm.
I have never owned a horse, but for a year I got to take care of a pony, Baronet, that I had found abandoned when I was 11. I had moved to England for the second time in my short life. This period was filled with anxiety and instability and there were a lot of unaccompanied moments.
I saw him one day while I was out walking in the woods. He was staring at me from where he stood, wild and dirty. I just went to him and he came to me. I found the farmer who owned him, who said he was a lost cause: “Too difficult,” he said. When I asked if I could care for him, he didn’t hesitate: “Sure, take him.”
He wasn’t trained. He was stubborn and picky and angry. He had been labelled “difficult” just as I was labelled “Sunshine Girl”. It’s not a good thing to be labelled. “Sunshine Girl” made me feel like I couldn’t complain. I didn’t want to make anyone unhappy. I always felt I had to go with the flow.
Baronet saved me that year. He gave my life a sense of purpose and meaning. I would wake up early and walk two miles to the barn to feed him and try to train him, and the moment I came home from school I would run back to the barn to spend time with him.
Looking back, I see Baronet as a wonder. In some magical way I found Baronet when I needed him most and, as sad as I was to leave him at the end of the year, when we moved yet again, I saw the progress we had made together. Seeing that I could make a difference was a huge awakening for me as a child.
1．How did the writer probably feel when moving to England
A．Worried. B．Surprised. C．Puzzled. D．Excited.
2．What did the farmer probably mean by saying “he was a lost cause”
A．Baronet was always alone.
B．Baronet could easily get lost.
C．Baronet could hardly survive.
D．Baronet was hard to deal with.
3．How did Baronet influence the writer
A．It taught her not to complain.
B．It inspired her to be easygoing.
C．It helped her to get over loneliness.
D．It encouraged her to accept her label.
（2022·北京东城·统考一模）Rene Compean was no stranger to Angeles National Forest. He’d hiked the park numerous times. But when hiking along a new path, the 45-year-old was lost.
As the day faded into darkness, his concern turned to fear. With only a little water in his backpack and 10% battery remaining on his cellphone, Compean was unprepared for anything more than the two-hour trip he’d planned.
Compean climbed to a spot where he found one bar of signal. “SOS. My phone is going to die. I’m lost,” he texted a friend, attaching a photo showing where he was. The shot showed his legs hanging over a rock face. All Compean could do then was wait. The temperature was dropping fast. Dressed only in shorts, and a sweatshirt, the hiker was chilled to the bone. He hugged himself into a tight ball. And after spotting two mountain lions, he spent the night on high alert.
Sixty miles away, Ben Kuo was working at home when he read a posting from the police, showing an image of a man’s legs. The search-and-rescue teams had spent the previous night unsuccessfully looking for Compean, so they released the photo, hoping someone might recognize the location.
“I’ve always loved looking for where photos are taken,” Kuo says. He frequently tries to identify where movie scenes or commercials were filmed. He’s often successful. When he saw the image, he automatically pulled up a satellite map on his laptop. “There’s an amazing amount of information you can get from satellites,” he says. The first thing he noticed in Compean’s photo was plenty of greenery. After comparing it to the satellite map, Kuo realized something: “He’s got to be on the south side because there’re not any green valleys on the north side.”
That finding led him to an area that looked like the territory in the image. The final step was cross- referencing the original photo with 3-D images of the area. The locations matched!
After spending 27 hours in the wilderness, Compean was found.
Compean’s story probably would have ended differently had it not been for the man with strong satellite skills and a sharp eye for detail.
4．What caused Compean to get lost on the hike
A．The thick forest. B．The unfamiliar route.
C．The coming of nightfall. D．Low battery on the phone.
5．Kuo was able to offer help because of ______.
A．his photo reading ability B．his sense of responsibility
C．his professional experience D．his familiarity with the area
6．What can we learn from this story
A．One good turn deserves another.
B．Chance favors the prepared mind.
C．Nothing is impossible to a willing heart.
D．There’s no such thing as useless knowledge.
（2021·北京东城·统考二模）Liu Jichen, founder and CEO of Clear Plate , designed a mini-program that recognizes empty plates and rewards users with points. These points can be exchanged for gifts like books and cellphones, or better yet, they can be used to purchase charity meals donated to poor children in rural areas of China.
In 2016, Liu, a then student of Tsinghua University, noticed a popular campaign called “Leftover Party”, where people brought their leftovers to eat together, intending to raise awareness of food waste. Liu and his classmates organized one such event, which was attended by hundreds of people. The success encouraged him to spread the concept of reducing food waste to a wider audience.
The idea of a mini-program struck him at a dinner in 2017 when Liu dined at a restaurant, which rewarded diners who finished off their food. Liu found that the restaurant would give these diners a card every time and offer them small gifts when they collected a certain number of cards. “Everyone who values food can enjoy a sense of gain at a lower cost,” Liu said, noting that such an idea could be realized online.
He formed a team to work on the project. Yet it was quite a challenge for the AI system to identify the uploaded photos. Liu and his team, assisted by more than 1,000 others, spent half a year collecting over 100,000 samples across the country to train the digital brain.
“There were so many uncertainties in research and development. For our team members, the biggest challenge was whether we were confident enough to complete it,” Liu said. They not only achieved their goal, but now, the mini-program has more than five million registered users. “We hope to inspire everyone to take action against food waste and to contribute Chinese wisdom and solutions to global food security challenges,” he added.
7．What inspired Liu Jichen to create the mini-program
A．A restaurant’s practice. B．His interest in high tech.
C．A campaign concept. D．His classmates’ advice.
8．What is the main aim of the mini-program
A．To increase awareness of charity.
B．To encourage people to save food.
C．To collect photos of empty plates.
D．To promote books and other gifts.
9．Which of the following words can best describe Liu Jichen
A．Generous and optimistic. B．Loving and easy-going.
C．Determined and responsible. D．Grateful and considerate.
（2021·北京东城·统考一模）Nick Torrance, a junior in high school, suffers from muscular dystrophy, and attends school in a specialized wheelchair. The muscle disease prevents him from accomplishing many everyday tasks, such as carrying his books and putting things away in his locker. So he had a fellow student assigned to help him. But Amy Smith, the school’s occupational therapist, thought that being able to do something simple like opening his locker on his own would be empowering.
Amy initially thought they would be able to buy a device to help. But searching online turned up nothing that could meet their needs—everything needed a keycode or some other physical action, things her disabled student couldn’t do. After the outside search for a method came up short, she looked within the school itself for an answer. Amy turned to the school’s robotics instructor.
The instructor, in turn, suggested that two of his most capable students take on the project: Micah Stuhldreher and Wyatt Smrcka. They took first place in a national robotics competition, so they were a natural choice to tackle the locker door problem with a robotics solution. Micah and Wyatt wasted no time getting down to work and for an hour each school day, the boys brainstormed, built, and rebuilt various versions of the device until they landed on the perfect solution one year later.
Like in any device development, it took a lot of trial and error for Micah and Wyatt to make something that would work for their target audience. For example, they initially built a locker-opening button, but Nick wasn’t strong enough to push it, so they replaced it with a sensor.
Now, between classes Nick steers his electric wheelchair to his locker and waves his hand over a sensor on the arm of the wheelchair. A few seconds later, the locker door swings open. Another wave closes the door. Nick can make it with ease—it may be a small thing, but it gives him a sense of independence.
10．Why did Amy Smith want a device
A．To increase her student’s confidence. B．To encourage cooperation at school.
C．To inspire a robotics invention. D．To help treat a muscle disease.
11．With a sensor in his wheelchair, Nick can ________.
A．move around easily B．put his things away
C．continue his schooling D．open and close his locker
12．According to the passage, which words can best describe Micah and Wyatt
A．Caring and passionate. B．Talented and ambitious.
C．Sensitive and insightful. D．Humble and warmhearted.

104．考查定语从句。句意：Elliott认为自己是一个努力改善人们生活、减少人们痛苦的人。分析句子结构可知，空后是一个定语从句，且从句中缺少主语，所以应用关系代词，先行词是person，是人应用who。故填who。

111．考查介词。句意：我真正理解的是，好故事带给我的愉悦，以及书籍的力量，它向我介绍超越我自己的生活和经历。此处是指书籍向“我”介绍的生活和经历都是“我”自己没有的，所以是超越“我”自己的生活和经历，应用介词beyond表示“超越”。故填beyond。
