Ⅰ.阅读理解
(2021浙江,A)
Leslie Nielsen's childhood was a difficult one, but he had one particular shining star in his life—his uncle, who was a well-known actor. The admiration and respect his uncle earned inspired Nielsen to make a career(职业)in acting. Even though he often felt he would be discovered to be a no-talent, he moved forward, gaining a scholarship to the Neighborhood Playhouse and making his first television appearance a few years later in 1948. However, becoming a full-time, successful actor would still be an uphill battle for another eight years until he landed a number of film roles that finally got him noticed.
But even then, what he had wasn't quite what he wanted. Nielsen always felt he should be doing comedy but his good looks and distinguished voice kept him busy in dramatic roles. It wasn't until 1980—32 years into his career—that he landed the role it would seem he was made for in Airplane!. That movie led him into the second half of his career where his comedic presence alone could make a movie a financial success even when movie reviewers would not rate it highly.
Did Nielsen then feel content in his career Yes and no. He was thrilled to be doing the comedy that he always felt he should do, but even during his last few years, he always had a sense of curiosity, wondering what new role or challenge might be just around the corner. He never stopped working, never retired.
Leslie Nielsen's devotion to acting is wonderfully inspiring. He built a hugely successful career with little more than plain old hard work and determination. He showed us that even a single desire, never given up on, can make for a remarkable life.

Ⅰ.◎语篇解读 本文为记叙文,主题语境是人与自我,主题语境内容是丰富自我。文章介绍了莱斯利·尼尔森的演艺生涯,他追逐梦想,不懈努力,一生取得了卓越的成就。
1.C 细节理解题。根据题干中的“want to be an actor”将答案区域锁定在第一段。本题题干意为:为什么尼尔森想成为一个演员 根据第一段第一、二句“...he had one particular shining star in his life—his uncle, who was a well-known actor.The admiration and respect his uncle earned inspired Nielsen to make a career in acting.”可知他叔叔是个非常有名的演员,别人对叔叔的钦佩和尊敬激励他走上演艺道路。inspire sb. to do sth.激励某人做某事。
2.D 细节理解题。本题题干意为: 我们对尼尔森的职业生涯的后半阶段了解多少 根据第二段中最后一句话 “That movie led him into the second half of his career where his comedic presence alone could make a movie a financial success even when movie reviewers would not rate it highly.”可知喜剧电影Airplane!使他进入了职业生涯的后半阶段,在他后半阶段的职业生涯中,仅他自己的喜剧表演就可以使一部电影获得财务上的成功。在审题中注意题干中的“in the second half of his career”确定了职业时间点,能迅速找出要点位置所在。make...a success 使……成功。
3.D 推理判断题。本题题干意为:尼尔森职业生涯的故事告诉我们什么 根据第一段中“Even though he often felt he would be discovered to be a no-talent, he moved forward”,第三段最后一句“He never stopped working, never retired.”以及最后一段中 “He built a hugely successful career with little more than plain old hard work and determination. He showed us that even a single desire, never given up on, can make for a remarkable life.”可知由于他的努力和为目标持之以恒奋斗的精神,他取得了巨大的成功,D选项“有志者,事竟成”与之匹配。
长难句
原句 That movie led him into the second half of his career where his comedic presence alone could make a movie a financial success even when movie reviewers would not rate it highly.
分析 这是一个主从复合句。主干是That movie led him into the second half of his career。where引导定语从句,修饰先行词the second half of his career,关系副词where在从句中作状语,when引导的从句在定语从句中作状语。
译文 那部影片引领他进入了他的职业生涯的后半阶段,在他后半阶段的职业生涯中,他自己的喜剧表演就可以使一部电影获得财务上的成功,即使影评人不会给它很高的评价。
Ⅱ.◎语篇解读 本文为记叙文,主题语境是人与自我,主题语境内容是积极的生活态度。作者主要讲述了自己中学期间在烘焙厂兼职三天的工作经历。
1.C 考查动词。根据第一段的内容可知作者在烘焙厂打工。设空处所在的定语从句的主语which指代Hough Bakeries,应该是制作(made)蛋糕的工厂。sell卖;order订购;reserve 预订。
2.A 考查名词。Hough Bakeries是制作蛋糕的工厂,它会把蛋糕提供给店铺(stores)。
3.D 考查形容词。根据后文得知“帮忙”发生在假期,所以应该是临时的(temporary)。generous 慷慨的;financial 财政的;technical 技术的。
4.A 考查名词。后文提到作者除了听最喜欢的唱片没有别的计划(plans),所以才会去兼职。
5.B 考查动词。因后文搭配的是wage,所以应该是赚钱,应选择B项。offer主动提供;set 设置;suggest建议,表明。
6.A 考查动词。根据设空处所在宾语从句的主语a factory得知,作者想通过兼职了解一个工厂如何运转(worked)。close倒闭;develop 发展;survive 生存。
7.B 考查名词。根据设空处所在句子的前半句可知,作者的父母是允许作者去兼职的,故应选择B项。ambition雄心;experience经验;invitation邀请。
8.C 考查名词。去烘焙厂兼职,就要知道自己的工作内容是什么,此处表示“我们的任务(roles)很简单”。了解role的意思是解答本题的关键,role除了“角色”的意思外,还有“任务、作用、职能”的意思。
9.D 考查动词。根据前后文得知作者进行完前面的工作最终要把兔子蛋糕从传送带上拿下来,应选择D项。
10.A 考查形容词。根据后文的描述可知,这项工作在做的时候要比听起来更困难(harder)。
11.B 考查动词短语。前文描述的是制作蛋糕的部分环节,每一步都要跟上,慢(slow down)一点蛋糕就会堆积。calm down冷静;stay on留下来继续(学习、工作等); move on 继续前往。
12.C 考查动词。根据前后文可知,工作比作者预料的压力更大一些,应选择C项。indicate指出;witness见证;remember记得。

14.D 考查动词。根据前文The son of a grocer可知,他要做的是为杂货店送货,应选择D项。taste品尝;find寻找;share分享。

长难句
原句 My best friend Betsy's father was a manager at Hough Bakeries, which, at Easter time, made little bunny cakes for all its stores throughout Cleveland.
分析 这是一个主从复合句。句子的主干是My best friend Betsy's father was a manager at Hough Bakeries。which引导定语从句,修饰先行词Hough Bakeries,关系词在从句中作主语。
译文 我最好的朋友Betsy的父亲是Hough Bakeries的经理,这家工厂在复活节期间为它在克利夫兰的所有店铺制作小兔子蛋糕。
