篇61 When Kevin Durant gave his tearful MVP speech in 2014，the NBA star made sure to thank one person who had been there with him from the very beginning：his mother.His heartfelt words about the sacrifices she made for Durant and his brother led to a lifetime movie about her journey as a single parent,The Real MVP：The Wanda Durant Story.
Today,the NBA superstar's mom travels the country as a motivational speaker and philanthropist （慈善家）.On Monday,she spoke at Thomson Reuters' in New York about her personal struggles to achieve financial stability and shared the financial advice she gave her son when he entered the league with CNBC.

Durant's mom says that in addition to his financial decisions,she is proud of his philanthropic work and his desire to help the community.

篇62 The most typical definition of success is "the accomplishment of an aim or purpose" or what most of us have heard： "the attainment of popularity or profit．" But is success really defined by purposes or profit？
After graduating from high school， my family advised me to aim to build a successful career． My options were narrowed down to becoming a doctor or choosing a field in engineering． So I graduated with a chemical engineering degree． I was advised to aim for graduate studies， and in less than two years， I had a highly specialized degree in plastics engineering from one of the most reputable universities in the U．S． Then I found a corporate job， performed well in the organization， climbed up the ladder， and made a bigger pay cheque with every new title． My proud parents told my story to the rest of the family and friends as a "success" story．
No matter where we live in the world， we all have our own versions of success． Our families take pride in telling the world how successful we are in our profession， and often the only measure of that success becomes the financial wealth we accumulate． In a world where everything is reflected by numbers - the likes on Facebook， the number of views on YouTube， etc． - every aspect of our life is being taken over by numbers． We are conditioned to believe that the stronger your financial standing， the higher you rank on the success chart． But remember the words， "aim" or "purpose，" in the definition of success． Altruistic figures such as Mother Teresa， Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr． also lived successful lives but had selfless concern over the well-being of others． While the rest of the world focused on accumulating wealth， they focused on giving， doing， and creating for everyone else．
Wealth alone never will be the measure of success． Think beyond profits． No promotion or pay raise I ever received in my professional career was because of my deep desire to obtain a better title or higher pay； instead， it was based on the excellence I created in the experience our customers had with the organization．
(1) What do you know about the author？ ______
A. He has lived up to his family's expectations．
B. He asks his parents for advice on everything．
C. He doesn't like his job though he is well paid．
D. He wanted to be a doctor but became a chemical engineer．
(2) What's the common awareness of success around the world？ ______
A. Social connections．
B. Contributions to society．
C. The accumulation of financial wealth．
D. The accomplishment of personal dreams．
(3) What does the underlined word "Altruistic" in Paragraph 3 mean？ ______
A. Of abundant wealth．
B. Of few achievements．
C. Devoted to others' welfare．
D. Focused on personal well-being．
(4) What inspiration can be drawn from the author's working experience？ ______
A. Change jobs frequently for higher pay．
B. Aim at providing quality service at work．
C. Take every chance to get promotion．
D. Focus on making profits from the customers．
(5) What's the author's purpose in writing this passage？ ______
A. To explore the true meaning of success．
B. To express his inner voices to his parents．
C. To acknowledge the help he has received in his life．
D. To share his personal experience for others' reference．
篇63 While learning the science lessons, I used to get a doubt-why ears,nose，tongue and eyes should be called as special senses？The basic reason is that these are the channels through which we maintain contact with the surroundings. Though apparently it may feel like these are individual sensory organs,they do show some connectivity. Interestingly,our hearing is less sharp after we eat a heavy food． Isn't it good for a sound nap after a stomach-full meal？That does not mean we go deaf after a meal,but the hearing pitch（强度）does change after a heavy meal.
We usually give credit of the taste to our tongue，but do you know that unless saliva（唾液）dissolves something，our tongue cannot recognize the taste of the food eaten. Taste is nothing but the food chemicals dissolved in the saliva being sensed by the taste buds present on the tongue. Try to dry off your tongue and mouth with a tissue paper and then taste something．
Women are much better smellers than men. They are born with this characteristic ability and can correctly pinpoint the exact fragrance of the sample. We all can store almost 50,000 different scents（气味）,which are strongly tied to the memories.
Pupils（瞳孔）do not respond to light alone，but to the slightest bit of noise around too. Thus surgeons，watchmakers and those professionals who have to perform a much delicate job do prefer to have a sound-free environment. Even a small noise can dilate（扩大）their pupils change the focus and blur（使模糊）their vision. If you do not wear glasses or contact lens due to having a 6/6 vision,you are just among the one third of the human population. It is now statistically proved that only one third of the population has perfect vision,rest all are either wearing glasses or are trying to read with a compromised vision.
Each and every one of us has a particular or individualistic or characteristic smell，which is unique to us,except for the identical twins. This smell is very subtle（微妙的）yet can be sensed even by a newborn. It may be due to this scent that the newborn recognizes the presence of his parents around. Many of us can pinpoint the smell of our significant friends and colleagues. A significant part of this phenomenon is guided by genetics but it is also modified by the environment，diet and personal hygiene. This all together creates the unique chemistry that is individualistic for each person.
(1) We can learn from Paragraph I that ______ ．
A. our hearing is as good as before we have a full meal
B. all sensory organs are connected and can be exchanged
C. sensory organs' functions can never be changed for their particular character
D. we feel and learn about the world around us through our sensory organs
(2) What may happen after you have had a rich lunch？ ______
A. Your eyes become dim．
B. You may feel energetic and fresh．
C. Your hearing pitch may decrease．
D. Your tongue may lose the function of taste．
(3) What does the author mean by the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2？ ______
A. Our tongues can't be dried while eating something．
B. If your tongue is dried without any saliva on it， it will not work．
C. A tissue paper is the only thing that can be used to dry our tongues．
D. If your tongue is dried with a tissue paper， it may work as well as before．
(4) What makes each person different from anyone else except twins？ ______
A. The number of sensory organs．
B. The sensitivity of sensory organs．
C. The particular smell of a person．
D. The style of one's behavior．
(5) What is the text mainly about？ ______
A. The functions of sensory organs．
B. The connectivity of sensory organs．
C. A newborn's senses of the sensory organs．
D. The differences of senses between women and men．

篇67 Nearly one year after the arrival of the COVID-19 pandemic, students across Chicago and the suburbs in the US say when it comes to high school, the thrill is gone. Simple pleasures such as getting together with friends in the hallways and catching up over lunch in the cafeteria are displaced by a dystopian (反乌托邦的) landscape of remote learning and virtual extracurricular.
After 11 months of remote learning, and what many teens describe as the soul-crushing disappointment of canceled after school activities, experts say a growing number of teens are now struggling with anxiety and depression due to heightened levels of stress and social isolation.
Still, the following stories shared by high school students from Chicago and the suburbs provide a glimmer of hope that for some, the pandemic-era heartbreak might develop a generation of resilient (有韧性的) young adults who will be better equipped to deal with life's twists and turns.
Students who participate in speech, an activity that combines drama and public speaking, have been able to continue this school year, albeit (尽管) over the internet. Instead of delivering emotional monologues (独白) and duets (二重唱) to a live panel of judges, they must summon their best performances while looking into a webcam.
"Dueting is so frustrating when it comes to online," said Jaylah Hogg,17, a junior at Thornton Township High School in Harvey. "Wi-Fi at my house is pretty good but my partner's isn't. So it's like I'm trying to time her lines in my head because she's blanking out when she's talking. Sometimes the judges do hold that against us."
But it hasn't been all bad. After nearly a year of remote learning, Deerfield High School freshman Ben Segall,15, said he was excited that the school was expected to finally welcome students back into the building for a hybrid program later this month.
The pandemic has also crushed the athletic seasons for sports at many high schools including Senn High School in the Edgewater neighborhood. There, Davion Holmes is staying focused on applying to Wilberforce, Ohio-based Central State University.
And with some of the recent updates to the Illinois High School Association's COVID-19 guidelines, Holmes said he remained hopeful, albeit realistic, about finally resuming his high school athletic career in the months ahead.
"I didn't want to have to live through a pandemic, but I worked through it, and that's something I'll be able to tell my kids and grandkids someday," he added.
(1) What is a major problem with remote learning？
A. The heavy workload.
B. The lack of social interaction.
C. The large number of students in class.
D. The high levels of stress in class.
(2) Why did Jaylah Hogg find online dueting frustrating
A. The Wi-Fi at her house was dissatisfactory.
B. It was hard to work as a team online.
C. The judges failed to do their job well.
D. She felt nervous in front of the webcam.
(3) What does Davion Holmes think of the pandemic
A. It allowed him to focus on applying to universities.
B. It made little difference to his athletic career.
C. It is something that has made him stronger.
D. It's the last thing he wants to mention in the future.
(4) What's the main purpose of the article
A. To describe the pandemic's influence on teens.
B. To present different views on the pandemic.
C. To call for attention to students' mental health.
D. To encourage teens to be positive toward school life.
(5) What is the best title of the passage
A. Athletic Career
B. Monologues and Duets
C. Best Performances
D. Adapting to Change
篇68 People aren't walking any more--if they can figure out a way to avoid it.
I felt superior about until the other day I took my car to mail a small parcel.The journey is a matter of 281 steps.But I used the car.And I wasn't in any hurry，either，I had merely become one more victim of a national sickness：motorosis.
It is an illness to which I had thought myself immune，for I was bred in the tradition of going to places on my owntwo legs.At that time，we regarded 25 miles as a good day's walk and the ability to cover such a distance in ten hours as sign of strength and skill.It did not occur to us that walking was a hardship.And the effect was lasting.When I was 45 years old I raced -and beat a teenage football player the 168 steps up the Statue of Liberty.
Such enterprises today are regarded by many middle-aged persons as bad for the heart.But a well-known British physician，Sir Adolphe Abrhams，pointed out recently that hearts and bodies need proper exercise.A person who avoids exercise is more likely to have illnesses than one who exercises regularly.And walking is an ideal form of exercise--- the most familiar and natural of all.
It was Henry Thoreau who showed mankind the richness of going on foot.The man walking can learn the trees，flowers，insects，birds and animals，the significance of seasons，the very feel of himself as a living creature in a living world，He cannot learn in a car.
The car is a convenient means of transport，but we have made it our way of life.Many people don't dare to approach Nature any more；to them the world they were born to enjoy is all threat.To them security is thundering on a concrete road.And much of their thinking takes place while waiting for the traffic light to turn green.
I say that the green of forests is the mind's best light.And none but the man on foot can evaluate what is basic and everlasting.
(1) What is the national sickness？ ______

(3) The author mentions Henry Thoreau to prove that ______ .
A. middle-aged people like getting back to nature
B. walking in nature helps enrich one's mind
C. people need regular exercise to keep fit
D. going on foot prevents heart disease
(4) What is compared to "a steel river"in Paragraph 6？ ______
A. A queue of cars.
B. A ray of traffic light.

篇70 There is an old Chinese proverb that states "One generation plants the trees；another gets the shade," and this is how it should be with mothers and daughters.The relationship between a mother and a daughter is sometimes confusing.The relationship can be similar to friendship.However,the mother and daughter relationship has unique characteristics that distinguish it from a friendship.These characteristics include responsibilities and unconditional love,which preclude mothers and daughters from being best friends.
Marina,27 years old,said,"I love spending time with my mom,but I wouldn't consider her my best friend.Best friends don't pay for your wedding.Best friends don't remind you how they carried you in their body and gave you life!Best friends don't tell you how wise they are because they have been alive at least 20 years longer than you." This doesn't mean that the mother and daughter relationship can't be very close and satisfying.This generation of mothers and adult daughters has a lot in common,which increases the likelihood of shared companionship.Mothers and daughters have always shared the common experience of being homemakers,responsible for maintaining（保持）and passing on family values and traditions.Today contemporary mothers and daughters also share the experience of work and technology,which may bring them even closer together.
Best friends may or may not continue to be best friends,but for better or worse；the mother and daughter relationship is permanent,even if for some unfortunate reason they aren't speaking.Sometimes this is not an equal relationship.Daughters don't always feel responsible for their mother's emotional well-being.But mothers never stop being mothers,which includes frequently wanting to protect their daughters and often feeling responsible for their happiness.The mother and daughter relationship is a relationship that is not replaceable by any other.Mothers always "trump（胜过）" friends.
(1) What does the underlined word "preclude" in paragraph 1 probably mean？ ______

D. Her mother is definitely not her best friend.
(3) Why can a mother and a daughter build a even closer relationship today？ ______
A. Because they share advanced technology with each other.
B. Because they work together to support the whole family.
C. Because they experience the same values and traditions.
D. Because they have common experience in life and work.
(4) What do we know from the text？ ______
A. The mother and daughter relationship can be replaced by a best friend.
B. A mother's love brings her and her daughter a close friendship.

While she advised him to enjoy the rewards of his labor,she also wanted to make sure that her son knew the importance of financial planning.
She told the audience that when she found herself a single parent to two children at 21，she couldn't follow the financial principles.Rather than planning for the future,she focused only on how her money could make ends meet for that moment.
Recently,Durant has teamed up with Laurene Powell Jobs for a new philanthropic program called College Track which is aimed at helping disadvantaged kids attend college.As part of the program,Durant has committed to donating ﹩10 million to his hometown's public school system.
Durant's mom says that in addition to his financial decisions,she is proud of his philanthropic work and his desire to help the community. "I thought giving back was always very important,and so we talked about that and he had seen that from us as a family and it's one of the things that I taught him," she says.

篇62(2019·天津市·模拟题)The most typical definition of success is "the accomplishment of an aim or purpose" or what most of us have heard： "the attainment of popularity or profit．" But is success really defined by purposes or profit？
After graduating from high school， my family advised me to aim to build a successful career． My options were narrowed down to becoming a doctor or choosing a field in engineering． So I graduated with a chemical engineering degree． I was advised to aim for graduate studies， and in less than two years， I had a highly specialized degree in plastics engineering from one of the most reputable universities in the U．S． Then I found a corporate job， performed well in the organization， climbed up the ladder， and made a bigger pay cheque with every new title． My proud parents told my story to the rest of the family and friends as a "success" story．
No matter where we live in the world， we all have our own versions of success． Our families take pride in telling the world how successful we are in our profession， and often the only measure of that success becomes the financial wealth we accumulate． In a world where everything is reflected by numbers - the likes on Facebook， the number of views on YouTube， etc． - every aspect of our life is being taken over by numbers． We are conditioned to believe that the stronger your financial standing， the higher you rank on the success chart． But remember the words， "aim" or "purpose，" in the definition of success． Altruistic figures such as Mother Teresa， Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr． also lived successful lives but had selfless concern over the well-being of others． While the rest of the world focused on accumulating wealth， they focused on giving， doing， and creating for everyone else．
Wealth alone never will be the measure of success． Think beyond profits． No promotion or pay raise I ever received in my professional career was because of my deep desire to obtain a better title or higher pay； instead， it was based on the excellence I created in the experience our customers had with the organization．
(1) What do you know about the author？ ______
A. He has lived up to his family's expectations．
B. He asks his parents for advice on everything．

(3) What does the underlined word "Altruistic" in Paragraph 3 mean？ ______
A. Of abundant wealth．
B. Of few achievements．
C. Devoted to others' welfare．
D. Focused on personal well-being．
(4) What inspiration can be drawn from the author's working experience？ ______
A. Change jobs frequently for higher pay．
B. Aim at providing quality service at work．
C. Take every chance to get promotion．
D. Focus on making profits from the customers．
(5) What's the author's purpose in writing this passage？ ______
A. To explore the true meaning of success．
B. To express his inner voices to his parents．
C. To acknowledge the help he has received in his life．

篇63(2019·天津市·模拟题)While learning the science lessons, I used to get a doubt-why ears,nose，tongue and eyes should be called as special senses？The basic reason is that these are the channels through which we maintain contact with the surroundings. Though apparently it may feel like these are individual sensory organs,they do show some connectivity. Interestingly,our hearing is less sharp after we eat a heavy food． Isn't it good for a sound nap after a stomach-full meal？That does not mean we go deaf after a meal,but the hearing pitch（强度）does change after a heavy meal.
We usually give credit of the taste to our tongue，but do you know that unless saliva（唾液）dissolves something，our tongue cannot recognize the taste of the food eaten. Taste is nothing but the food chemicals dissolved in the saliva being sensed by the taste buds present on the tongue. Try to dry off your tongue and mouth with a tissue paper and then taste something．
Women are much better smellers than men. They are born with this characteristic ability and can correctly pinpoint the exact fragrance of the sample. We all can store almost 50,000 different scents（气味）,which are strongly tied to the memories.
Pupils（瞳孔）do not respond to light alone，but to the slightest bit of noise around too. Thus surgeons，watchmakers and those professionals who have to perform a much delicate job do prefer to have a sound-free environment. Even a small noise can dilate（扩大）their pupils change the focus and blur（使模糊）their vision. If you do not wear glasses or contact lens due to having a 6/6 vision,you are just among the one third of the human population. It is now statistically proved that only one third of the population has perfect vision,rest all are either wearing glasses or are trying to read with a compromised vision.
Each and every one of us has a particular or individualistic or characteristic smell，which is unique to us,except for the identical twins. This smell is very subtle（微妙的）yet can be sensed even by a newborn. It may be due to this scent that the newborn recognizes the presence of his parents around. Many of us can pinpoint the smell of our significant friends and colleagues. A significant part of this phenomenon is guided by genetics but it is also modified by the environment，diet and personal hygiene. This all together creates the unique chemistry that is individualistic for each person.
(1) We can learn from Paragraph I that ______ ．
A. our hearing is as good as before we have a full meal
B. all sensory organs are connected and can be exchanged
C. sensory organs' functions can never be changed for their particular character
D. we feel and learn about the world around us through our sensory organs
(2) What may happen after you have had a rich lunch？ ______
A. Your eyes become dim．
B. You may feel energetic and fresh．
C. Your hearing pitch may decrease．
D. Your tongue may lose the function of taste．
(3) What does the author mean by the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2？ ______
A. Our tongues can't be dried while eating something．
B. If your tongue is dried without any saliva on it， it will not work．
C. A tissue paper is the only thing that can be used to dry our tongues．
D. If your tongue is dried with a tissue paper， it may work as well as before．
(4) What makes each person different from anyone else except twins？ ______
A. The number of sensory organs．
B. The sensitivity of sensory organs．
C. The particular smell of a person．
D. The style of one's behavior．
(5) What is the text mainly about？ ______
A. The functions of sensory organs．
B. The connectivity of sensory organs．
C. A newborn's senses of the sensory organs．
D. The differences of senses between women and men．
【答案】D C B C A
【解析】
【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文。这篇文章讲的是感觉器官-听觉，味觉，嗅觉，视觉等的相互联系和各自的功能。
1. 推理判断题。根据第一段中The basic reason is that these are the channels through which we maintain contact with the surroundings． Though apparently it may feel like these are individual sensory organs，they do show some connectivity．"最基本的原因是，这些是我们与周围环境保持联系的渠道，显然可能觉得这些是个人感觉器官，他们展示一些连接。"可知，我们可以从第一段中了解到，我们通过感觉器官感受和了解我们周围的世界。故选D。
2. 细节理解题。根据第一段倒数一、二句Interestingly， our hearing is less sharp after we eat a heavy food． Isn't it good for a sound nap after a stomach-full meal？ That does not mean we go deaf after a meal， but the hearing pitch（强度）does change after a heavy meal．可知，吃饱后人的听觉会降低，故选C。
3. 细节理解题。根据第二段内容可知，舌头必须在唾液的配合下才能分辨味道，如果用纸把舌头擦干，舌头的味觉功能就会丧失，故选B。
4. 细节理解题。根据最后一段Each and every one of us has a particular or individualistic or characteristic smell， which is unique to us， except the twins，作者认为我们每个人身上都有独特的味道，通过这个味道我们就可以辨别我们所熟悉的人，故选C。

篇67(2022·天津市·模拟题) Nearly one year after the arrival of the COVID-19 pandemic, students across Chicago and the suburbs in the US say when it comes to high school, the thrill is gone. Simple pleasures such as getting together with friends in the hallways and catching up over lunch in the cafeteria are displaced by a dystopian (反乌托邦的) landscape of remote learning and virtual extracurricular.
After 11 months of remote learning, and what many teens describe as the soul-crushing disappointment of canceled after school activities, experts say a growing number of teens are now struggling with anxiety and depression due to heightened levels of stress and social isolation.
Still, the following stories shared by high school students from Chicago and the suburbs provide a glimmer of hope that for some, the pandemic-era heartbreak might develop a generation of resilient (有韧性的) young adults who will be better equipped to deal with life's twists and turns.
Students who participate in speech, an activity that combines drama and public speaking, have been able to continue this school year, albeit (尽管) over the internet. Instead of delivering emotional monologues (独白) and duets (二重唱) to a live panel of judges, they must summon their best performances while looking into a webcam.
"Dueting is so frustrating when it comes to online," said Jaylah Hogg,17, a junior at Thornton Township High School in Harvey. "Wi-Fi at my house is pretty good but my partner's isn't. So it's like I'm trying to time her lines in my head because she's blanking out when she's talking. Sometimes the judges do hold that against us."
But it hasn't been all bad. After nearly a year of remote learning, Deerfield High School freshman Ben Segall,15, said he was excited that the school was expected to finally welcome students back into the building for a hybrid program later this month.
The pandemic has also crushed the athletic seasons for sports at many high schools including Senn High School in the Edgewater neighborhood. There, Davion Holmes is staying focused on applying to Wilberforce, Ohio-based Central State University.
And with some of the recent updates to the Illinois High School Association's COVID-19 guidelines, Holmes said he remained hopeful, albeit realistic, about finally resuming his high school athletic career in the months ahead.
"I didn't want to have to live through a pandemic, but I worked through it, and that's something I'll be able to tell my kids and grandkids someday," he added.
(1) What is a major problem with remote learning？
A. The heavy workload.
B. The lack of social interaction.
C. The large number of students in class.
D. The high levels of stress in class.
(2) Why did Jaylah Hogg find online dueting frustrating
A. The Wi-Fi at her house was dissatisfactory.
B. It was hard to work as a team online.
C. The judges failed to do their job well.
D. She felt nervous in front of the webcam.
(3) What does Davion Holmes think of the pandemic
A. It allowed him to focus on applying to universities.
B. It made little difference to his athletic career.
C. It is something that has made him stronger.
D. It's the last thing he wants to mention in the future.
(4) What's the main purpose of the article
A. To describe the pandemic's influence on teens.
B. To present different views on the pandemic.
C. To call for attention to students' mental health.
D. To encourage teens to be positive toward school life.
(5) What is the best title of the passage
A. Athletic Career
B. Monologues and Duets
C. Best Performances
D. Adapting to Change
【答案】B B A A D
【解析】
【文章大意】本文主要讲述了新冠疫情对孩子们产生的影响。
1. 根据第二段After 11 months of remote learning...due to heightened levels of stress and social isolation.（经过11个月的远程学习，以及许多青少年所描述的因取消课后活动而感到的灵魂崩溃的失望，专家们表示，越来越多的青少年由于压力和社会孤立的加剧，现在正与焦虑和抑郁作斗争。）可知，由于远程教学，孩子们现在面对的最大问题是缺乏社交。故选B。
2. 根据第五段中的"Wi-Fi at my house is pretty good...that against us."（“我家的Wi-Fi很好，但我搭档家的就不行。就好像我要在脑子里给她的词计时，因为她说话的时候卡顿了。有时候裁判确实会因此而对我们不利。”）可知，在网上想要完成团队协作比较难，有时候因搭档网络不好会影响裁判的判定。故选B。
3. 根据倒数第三段中的There, Davion Holmes is staying focused on applying to Wilberforce, Ohio-based Central State University.（在那里，Davion Holmes仍专注于申请俄亥俄州威尔伯福斯的中央州立大学。）可知，他在疫情期间还是专注于申请他的理想大学。故选A。
4. 通读全文可知，本文主要讲述了由于新冠疫情，孩子们不得不上网课，无法参与社交活动导致青少年饱受焦虑和抑郁的折磨，疫情还摧毁了许多高中的体育季；但疫情也可能会培养出一代有韧性的年轻人，他们能更好地应对生活的曲折。由此可知，文章的目的在于讲述疫情对孩子们产生的影响。故选A。
5. 通读全文可知，本文主要讲述了新冠疫情对孩子们产生的影响。孩子们不得不上网课、远程学习，在网上参加演讲等活动，这些影响可能是消极的、负面的，但由于此次疫情，大家可能会看到更多适应能力强的年轻人。D项“适应变化”适合做本文的标题。故选D。
篇68(2022·天津市·模拟题) People aren't walking any more--if they can figure out a way to avoid it.
I felt superior about until the other day I took my car to mail a small parcel.The journey is a matter of 281 steps.But I used the car.And I wasn't in any hurry，either，I had merely become one more victim of a national sickness：motorosis.
It is an illness to which I had thought myself immune，for I was bred in the tradition of going to places on my owntwo legs.At that time，we regarded 25 miles as a good day's walk and the ability to cover such a distance in ten hours as sign of strength and skill.It did not occur to us that walking was a hardship.And the effect was lasting.When I was 45 years old I raced -and beat a teenage football player the 168 steps up the Statue of Liberty.
Such enterprises today are regarded by many middle-aged persons as bad for the heart.But a well-known British physician，Sir Adolphe Abrhams，pointed out recently that hearts and bodies need proper exercise.A person who avoids exercise is more likely to have illnesses than one who exercises regularly.And walking is an ideal form of exercise--- the most familiar and natural of all.
It was Henry Thoreau who showed mankind the richness of going on foot.The man walking can learn the trees，flowers，insects，birds and animals，the significance of seasons，the very feel of himself as a living creature in a living world，He cannot learn in a car.
The car is a convenient means of transport，but we have made it our way of life.Many people don't dare to approach Nature any more；to them the world they were born to enjoy is all threat.To them security is thundering on a concrete road.And much of their thinking takes place while waiting for the traffic light to turn green.
I say that the green of forests is the mind's best light.And none but the man on foot can evaluate what is basic and everlasting.
(1) What is the national sickness？ ______
A. Walking too much.
B. Traveling too much.
C. Driving cars too much.
D. Climbing stairs too much.
(2) What was life like when the author was young？ ______
A. People usually went around on foot.
B. people often walked 25 miles a day.
C. People used to climb the Statue of Liberty.
D. people considered a ten-hour walk as a hardship.
(3) The author mentions Henry Thoreau to prove that ______ .
A. middle-aged people like getting back to nature
B. walking in nature helps enrich one's mind
C. people need regular exercise to keep fit
D. going on foot prevents heart disease
(4) What is compared to "a steel river"in Paragraph 6？ ______
A. A queue of cars.
B. A ray of traffic light.
C. A flash of lightning.
D. A stream of people.
(5) What is the author's intention of writing this passage？ ______
A. To tell people to reflect more on life.
B. To recommend people to give up driving.
C. To advise people to do outdoor activities.
D. To encourage people to return to walking.
(6) What does the underlined part in paragraph 2 means ______ .
A. driving as much as possible
B. walking much as long as you can
C. to mail a small parcel
D. to be a victim
【答案】C A B A D B
【解析】
（1）细节理解题。根据第二段中的The journey is a matter of 281 steps.But I used the car.And I wasn't in any hurry，either，I had merely become one more victim of a national sickness：motorosis.（这段旅程只有281步。但是我用了汽车。我也不着急，我只是成为了一种全国性疾病的又一个受害者：motorosis。）可知，全国性疾病是指一种叫作motorosis的病，即人们过多地使用汽车而不走路。故选C。
（2）推理判断题。根据第三段中的It is an illness to which I had thought myself immune，for I was bred in the tradition of going to places on my own two legs.At that time，we regarded 25 miles as a good day's walk and the ability to cover such a distance in ten hours as sign of strength and skill. （我原以为自己对这种病是免疫的，因为我是在用两条腿去任何地方的传统中长大的。当时，我们认为25英里是一天的好路程，能在10个小时内走完这样的距离是力量和技术的标志。）可知，作者年轻的时候，人们通常步行到处走。故选A。
（3）推理判断题。根据第五段中的It was Henry Thoreau who showed mankind the richness of going on foot.The man walking can learn the trees，flowers，insects，birds and animals，the significance of seasons，the very feel of himself as a living creature in a living world.He cannot learn in a car.（Henry Thoreau 向人类展示了步行的丰富多彩。行走的人可以了解树、花、虫、鸟、兽，了解季节的意义，了解自己作为一个活生生的生物在活生生的世界里的感觉。他不能在车里学习。）可知，Henry Thoreau 向人类展示了步行的丰富多彩。由此推知，作者提到亨利 梭罗是为了证明在大自然中行走有助于丰富人的思想。故选B。
（4）词句猜测题。根据画线词组后面的on a concrete road（在混凝土路上），以及while waiting for the traffic light to turn green（在等红绿灯的时候）。可猜测，划线句To them security is thundering on a concrete road.And much of their thinking takes place while waiting for the traffic light to turn green. （对他们来说，安全是 在混凝土道路上轰鸣。他们大部分的思考都发生在等待绿灯的时候。）及常识可推知，划线词组a steel river（一条钢铁河流）暗指的是道路上的车流。A.A queue of cars 一排汽车；B.A ray of traffic light一道红绿灯；C.A flash of lightning一道闪电；D.A stream of people 一群人。故选A。
（5）写作意图题。根据第二段中的And I wasn't in any hurry，either，I had merely become one more victim of a national sickness：motorosis. （我也不着急，我只是成为了一种全国性疾病的又一个受害者：motorosis。）第四段中的A person who avoids exercise is more likely to have illnesses than one who exercises regularly.And walking is an ideal form of exercise — the most familiar and natural of all.（一个不运动的人比一个经常运动的人更容易生病。步行是一种理想的锻炼方式——最熟悉、最自然的锻炼方式），第五段中的It was Henry Thoreau who showed mankind the richness of going on foot. （是亨利 梭罗向人类展示了步行的丰富多彩）"及最后一段"I say that the green of forests is the mind's best light.And none but the man on foot can evaluate what is basic and everlasting. （我说，森林的绿色是心灵最好的光。只有脚踏实地的人才能评价最基本和永恒的东西。）可知，作者提到现代人过多地依赖车，很少自己走路，而走路使人身体健康，丰富人的内心。同时引用专家的观点进一步证明自己的观点，因此推断其目的都是在鼓励人们回归走路。故选D。
（6）词句猜测题。根据第一段People aren't walking any more — if they can figure out a way to avoid it.（人们不再步行了——如果他们能找到避免步行的方法的话）"及第二段中的"I felt superior about until the other day I took my car to mail a small parcel.The journey is a matter of 281 steps.But I used the car.（在 上我一直感觉很优越，直到有一天我开车去寄一个小包裹。这段旅程只有281步。但我用了汽车。）可知，在一次只要走281步的路程，作者却开了汽车之前，作者认为自己在"人们不再走路"的问题，自己很有优越感。由此推知，划线词组this matter指的是walking much as long as you can （尽可能多走）。A.driving as much as possible尽量多开车；B.walking much as long as you can 尽可能多地走；C.to mail a small parcel寄一个小包裹；D.to be a victim成为受害者。故选B。
本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了现在很多人都患上了一种全国性疾病：开车太多，很少步行。作者回忆了以前人们经常步行的情况，也说明了步行的很多好处。作者鼓励人们重新用双脚走路，少开车。
阅读理解题测试考生在阅读基础上的逻辑推理能力，要求考生根据文章所述事件的逻辑关系，对未说明的趋势或结局作出合理的推断；或根据作者所阐述的观点理论，对文章未涉及的现象、事例给以解释。考生首先要仔细阅读短文，完整了解信息，准确把握作者观点。

篇70(2021·天津市·模拟题)There is an old Chinese proverb that states "One generation plants the trees；another gets the shade," and this is how it should be with mothers and daughters.The relationship between a mother and a daughter is sometimes confusing.The relationship can be similar to friendship.However,the mother and daughter relationship has unique characteristics that distinguish it from a friendship.These characteristics include responsibilities and unconditional love,which preclude mothers and daughters from being best friends.
Marina,27 years old,said,"I love spending time with my mom,but I wouldn't consider her my best friend.Best friends don't pay for your wedding.Best friends don't remind you how they carried you in their body and gave you life!Best friends don't tell you how wise they are because they have been alive at least 20 years longer than you." This doesn't mean that the mother and daughter relationship can't be very close and satisfying.This generation of mothers and adult daughters has a lot in common,which increases the likelihood of shared companionship.Mothers and daughters have always shared the common experience of being homemakers,responsible for maintaining（保持）and passing on family values and traditions.Today contemporary mothers and daughters also share the experience of work and technology,which may bring them even closer together.
Best friends may or may not continue to be best friends,but for better or worse；the mother and daughter relationship is permanent,even if for some unfortunate reason they aren't speaking.Sometimes this is not an equal relationship.Daughters don't always feel responsible for their mother's emotional well-being.But mothers never stop being mothers,which includes frequently wanting to protect their daughters and often feeling responsible for their happiness.The mother and daughter relationship is a relationship that is not replaceable by any other.Mothers always "trump（胜过）" friends.
(1) What does the underlined word "preclude" in paragraph 1 probably mean？ ______
A. differ.
B. benefit.
C. prevent.
D. change.
(2) What can we learn from what Marina said？ ______
A. Best friends will not spend money on her wedding.
B. Best friends will not remind her of important issues in life.
C. Her mother is wiser on account of her age.
D. Her mother is definitely not her best friend.
(3) Why can a mother and a daughter build a even closer relationship today？ ______
A. Because they share advanced technology with each other.
B. Because they work together to support the whole family.
C. Because they experience the same values and traditions.
D. Because they have common experience in life and work.
(4) What do we know from the text？ ______
A. The mother and daughter relationship can be replaced by a best friend.
B. A mother's love brings her and her daughter a close friendship.
C. Marina has a troubled relationship with her mother.
D. The mother and daughter relationship goes beyond best friendship.
(5) What is the text mainly about？ ______
A. How to build a good mother and daughter relationship.
B. A mother-daughter relationship is irreplaceable.
C. Mothers want to be daughters' friends.
D. A daughter is a mother's best friend.
【答案】C D D D B
【解析】
（1）C．词义猜测题。根据第二段"Best friends don't pay for your wedding…Bestfriends don't tell you how wise they are…"（最好的朋友不会为你的婚礼买单…最好的朋友不会告诉你他们有多聪明。）可推断，这里指母女之间不能成为最好的朋友，preclude意为"阻止"，preclude后面的from提示其含义应为prevent.A.differ与...不同；B.benefit对...有益；C.prevent阻止；D.change改变。故选C。
（2）D.细节理解题。根据第二段"Marina,27 years old,said,"I love spending time with my mom,but I wouldn't consider her my best friend.（27岁的玛丽娜说："我喜欢和妈妈在一起，但我不认为她是我最好的朋友）"可知我们能从玛丽娜的话中了解到她母亲绝对不是她最好的朋友。故选D。
（3）D.细节理解题。根据第二段"Today contemporary mothers and daughters also share the experience of work and technology,which may bring them even closer together.今天，当代的母亲和女儿也分享工作和技术的经验，这可能使她们更加亲密。"可知母亲和女儿今天能建立更密切的关系是因为他们在生活和工作中有着共同的经历。故选D。
（4）D．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段Best friends may or may not continue to be best friends,but for better or worse,the mother and daughter relationship is permanent,even if for some unfortunate reason they aren't speaking.The mother and child relationship is closer than any other.（最好的朋友可能是也可能不会继续是最好的朋友，但无论好坏，母女关系是永久的，即使出于某种不幸的原因，他们没有说话。母子关系比任何其他关系都要亲密。）可知，本文论证的是母女关系不同于朋友关系但超越朋友关系。故选D。
（5）B．主旨大意题。阅读全文以及根据最后一段"Best friends may or may not continue to be best friends,but for better or worse；the mother and daughter relationship is permanent,even if for some unfortunate reason they aren't speaking.Sometimes this is not an equal relationship.Daughters don't always feel responsible for their mother's emotional well-being.But mothers never stop being mothers,which includes frequently wanting to protect their daughters and often feeling responsible for their happiness.The mother and daughter relationship is a relationship that is not replaceable by any other.Mothers always "trump（胜过）" friends.（最好的朋友可能会也可能不会继续是最好的朋友，但不管是好是坏；母女关系是永久的，即使出于某种不幸的原因，他们没有说话。有时这不是一种平等的关系。女儿们并不总是对母亲的情感健康负责。但母亲永远不会停止做母亲，这包括经常想保护自己的女儿，经常为她们的幸福负责。母女关系是任何其他人都无法替代的关系。母亲总是"胜过"朋友。）可知本文讲述了母女关系，认为母女关系独具特点，不同于友谊，母亲与女儿不可能成为最好的朋友。作者认为，母女之间有许多共同之处，母女关系永存、不可替代。而友谊是双向的，但是母亲永远希望保护女儿、为女儿负责，女儿却不必为母亲的幸福承担责任。所以"B.A mother-daughter relationship is irreplaceable.母女关系是不可替代的。"符合文章的主题。故选B。
本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了母女关系，认为母女关系独具特点，不同于友谊，母亲与女儿不可能成为最好的朋友。作者认为，母女之间有许多共同之处，母女关系永存、不可替代。而友谊是双向的，但是母亲永远希望保护女儿、为女儿负责，女儿却不必为母亲的幸福承担责任。
