【核心素养】
A
When she was ten years old, Isadora Duncan dropped out of school to teach people dance. If that job was left to any other ten-year-old, it would have turned out frustrating, difficult, and a little discouraging.
But Duncan was different. Not only was she already talented enough to earn money even at that age, but she also had a rare kind of confidence that helped her treat troubles as fuel—something to elevate the fire that is already burning inside of her.
It's no surprise, then, that when she moved to New York to join a theatre company, she found herself restricted. The existing dancing style, their way of operating—all of this seemed to her the work of a misguided past. Duncan was very direct about what she wanted, confidently telling people she had a different vision of dance that she was going to spread in the world. This, naturally, led to ridicule and laughs early on, but as she built up her work, these instances became less frequent. Today, she is remembered as "The Mother of Dance", with much of the modern art owing its expressive style to her influence. Inspired by the ancient Greeks, she brought the style to life.
In her autobiography, one of the things Duncan frequently refers to as the basis of her expressive spirit is the fact that t she had a childhood where she wasn't constantly watched. The expectations of her mother (who raised her) were open-ended. It was the freedom of this lifestyle that drove her to see what she could do.
Growing up, before she left school, she was told one of two things: that she was either completely useless or that she was a genius. There was nothing in between. Even when she started working, people either bowed to her or they basically ignored her. But there wasn't one moment Duncan doubted her own genius.
There is an old quotation, "If you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid." And it captures an important truth. At school, Isadora Duncan was a failure. In the dance hall, she gave e form to brilliance.

Once upon a time, a daughter complained to her father that her life was unhappy and that she was tired of struggling all the time.
Her father, a chef, took her to the kitchen. He filled three pots with water and placed each on a high fire. Once the three pots began to boil, he placed potatoes, eggs and coffee beans in them. After 20 minutes, he took them out, putting the potatoes and eggs in a bowl and the coffee in a cup.
Turning to his daughter, he said, "Look closer, and touch the potatoes." She did and noted that they were soft. He then asked her to take an egg and break it. After pulling off the shell, she observed the hard-boiled egg. Finally, he asked her to taste the coffee. Its good smell brought a smile to her face.
"Father, what does this mean " she asked. He then explained that the potatoes, the eggs and the coffee beans were in the same adversity(逆境)—the boiling water. However, each one reacted differently.
The strong and hard potato became soft and weak in boiling water. The egg was fragile, with the thin outer shell protecting its liquid until it was put in the boiling water. Then the inside of the egg became hard. However, the coffee beans were unique. After they were exposed to the boiling water, they changed the water and created something new. "Which one do you want to be like," he asked. "When adversity knocks on your door, how will you respond "
In life, challenges happen to us all, but the only thing that truly matters is what happens within us.

4. What would be the best title for the passage

C. A chef and coffee beans D. Challenges and responses
答案以及解析
【夯实基础】
1.答案:definitely
解析:设空处作状语, 要用definite的副词形式, 故填definitely。
2.答案:extremely
解析:空后是形容词, 修饰形容词需要用副词, 故填extremely。
3.答案:Having worked
解析:句意: 工作了两周之后,Mike按时完成了他的报告。句子中已有谓语动词,两个动词之间没有连词,故不能再有谓语动词。设空处作谓语动词finished的时间状语, 又先于谓语动词的动作,故填Having worked。
4.答案:having made
解析:句意: 尽管竭尽全力了, 他还是被解雇了。空前虽然有连词Although, 但是没有主语,所以设空处不能是谓语动词。主语he和make是主动关系,且该动作发生在被解雇之前,故填having made。
5.答案:Being repaired
解析:句意: 这辆车正在修理, 现在不能使用。句子主语the car和动词repair是被动关系,且动作repair正在进行(提示词为now), 故填Being repaired。
【提升能力】
6.答案:punishment/ being punished
解析:考查词性转换或非谓语动词。escape为及物动词,后跟名词或动名词作宾语。No one与punish之间为被动关系,因此此处可用punishment或being punished。
7.答案:Having been shown
解析:句意: 被带领参观影视基地之后, 孩子们去爬山了。主语the children与动词show间是被动关系,且show的动作发生在句子谓语之前,故填Having been shown。
8.答案:Not having decorated
解析:句意: 因为还没有装修房子, 他们推迟了婚期。动作decorate发生在句子谓语动词put off之前, 主语they和decorate是主动关系,且表亦否定意义, 故填Not having decorated。
9.答案:following
解析:句意: 他正快速地跑,一只狗跟在他后面。动词follow与其逻辑主语a dog是主动关系,故填following。
10.答案:Clapping
解析:句意: 观众们站起来,极为激动地鼓掌。设空处应作谓语动词stood up的伴随状语,句子主语the audience 和clap是主谓关系,故填Clapping。

解析:1. 解析:句意猜测题。根据第二段中的"Not only was she already talented enough to earn money even at that age, but she also had a rare kind of confidence that helped her treat troubles as fuel—something to elevate the fire that is already burning inside of her. "可知,Duncan 很有自信,不畏困难,将困难转化为自己前进的动力。由此可推知,treat troubles as fuel 应意为“利用困难推动她向梦想前进”。故选A。
2. 解析:细节理解题。根据第三段中的"This, naturally, led to ridicule and laughs early on, but as she built up her work, these instances became less frequent. "可知,Duncan的舞蹈风格一开始并未被人们接受。故选D。
3. 解析:推理判断题。根据最后一段内容尤其是最后一段第一句"There is an old quotation, 'If you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid. ' "可推知,作者想告诉读者每个人都有自己独特的天赋。故选B。
4. 解析:主旨大意题。通读全文可知,文章主要介绍了Isadora Duncan早期的经历以及她能够取得成功的原因。故选C。
B
答案:1-4. ADBD

2.推理判断题。根据文章第四段中的"He then explained that the potatoes, the eggs and the coffee beans were in the same adversity—the boiling water. However, each one reacted differently."可知,不同的人对逆境有不同的反应,故选D。
3.词义猜测题。由画线词后的"with the thin outer shell protecting its liquid"可知鸡蛋是易碎的,所以fragile的意思是“易碎的”,B选项与fragile的意思最接近,故选B。
4.标题归纳题。文章介绍一个女孩向父亲抱怨,说她的生活不快乐,她厌倦了一直在奋斗。父亲将她带到厨房,把土豆、鸡蛋和咖啡豆分别放在盆里煮,让孩子看这三种东西的反应,从而启发孩子在逆境的时候应该怎么做。所以文章主要讲的是生活中的挑战和你的反应,故选D。
