My name is Alice. Early last year, I was troubled by an anxiety that crippled (削弱) my ability to do anything. I felt like a storm cloud hung over me. For almost a year I struggled on,constantly staring at this wall that faced me. My perfectionist tendencies were the main root of this: I wanted to be perfect at whatever I did, which obviously in life is not possible, but it consumed me.
One day, I attended a presentation by wildlife conservationist Grant Brown at my high school. His presentation not only awed and inspired me, but also helped emerge an inner desire to make a difference in the world. I joined a pre-presentation dinner with him and that smaller setting allowed me to slowly build up my courage to speak one-on-one with him—an idea that had seemed completely impossible. This first contact was where my story began.
A month later, Brown invited me to attend the World Youth Wildlife Conference. Looking back, I now see that this would be the first in a series of timely opportunities that my old self would have let pass, but that this new and more confident Alice enthusiastically seized. Shortly after I received his invitation, applications to join the Youth for Nature and the Youth for Planet groups were sent around through my high school. I decided to commit to completing the applications, and soon I was a part of a growing global team of young people working to protect nature. Each of these new steps continued to grow my confidence.
I am writing this just six months since my journey began and I’ve realised that my biggest obstacle (障碍) this whole time was myself. It was that voice in the back of my head telling me that one phrase that has stopped so many people from reaching their potential: I can’t. They say good things come to those who wait; I say: grab every opportunity with everything you have and be impatient. After all, nature does not require our patience, but our action.

Ⅱ.七选五
(2020浙江)
I experienced years of loneliness as a child. 1 His friends teased him about babysitting his sister and his interests were far different from mine. With no other kids of my age in the neighborhood, I had to spend hours by myself.
A bright spot for me turned out to be reading. My love of the written word began early as my mother read to me every evening. 2 I started reading books on my own before age 5 and my mother took me to the public library once a week to borrow several books. I quickly graduated from typical children’s books to ones with fewer pictures and longer chapters. Reading opened new worlds to me. 3
My mother also encouraged me to make what I wanted. I tried making toy cars with cardboard boxes and constructing buildings from leftover cardboard and bits of wood my father gave me. When my mother saw my creations, she told me how creative my designs were. 4 I learned a lot about how to extend the life of objects and transform them into something new and useful. It was a trait(特点) others found helpful, and I soon had friends who wanted to make things with me.
5 My parents made it a point for their two kids to spend time outside, no matter the weather or season. My brother, of course, raced off to be with his friends, while I had plenty to do myself. There was making leaf houses in autumn, ice skating in winter, and so much more. They’re all memories I treasure today.
A.I wasn’t alone any longer.
B.I enjoyed reading stories aloud.
C.I was invited to play with another kid.
D.I loved the colorful photographs in the books.
E.Another habit I formed early was being outdoors.
F.Thus, I began my lifelong interest in making things.
G.My older brother couldn’t be bothered to play with me.
1. 2. 3. 4. 5.
词汇积累
1.tease v.取笑;戏弄 2.construct vt.建筑;建造 3.leftover adj.剩余的 n.剩余食物

Ⅰ.◎语篇解读 这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者通过参加保护自然的活动治愈了自己的焦虑。
1.C 细节理解题。由文章第一段中的“My perfectionist tendencies were the main root of this: I wanted to be perfect at whatever I did, which obviously in life is not possible, but it consumed me.(我的完美主义倾向是这一点的主要根源:无论我做什么,我都想做到完美,这在生活中显然是不可能的,但它啃噬着我。)”可知,是要求完美导致了作者的焦虑。故选C。
2.A 细节理解题。由文章第二段第一、二句“One day, I attended a presentation...in the world. (在高中有一天,我参加了野生动物保护主义者Grant Brown的演讲。他的演讲不仅让我感到敬畏和鼓舞,还帮助我产生了一种内在的愿望,希望在世界上有所作为。)”和文章第三段中的“ Shortly after I received his invitation, applications to join...my high school. I decided to...working to protect nature. (在我收到他的邀请后不久,加入‘Youth for Nature’和‘Youth for Plane’组织的申请在我的高中传开了。我决定致力于完成这些申请,很快我就成了一个日益壮大的致力于保护自然的全球年轻人团队的一员。)”可知,是Grant Brown让作者开始从事保护自然的活动。故选A。
3.B 细节理解题。由文章第三段中的“I decided to commit to completing the applications, and soon I was a part of a growing global team of young people working to protect nature. Each of these new steps continued to grow my confidence.”可知,Alice 加入的这些活动让她变得更自信了。故选B。
4.C 推理判断题。根据文章开头“Early last year, I was troubled by an anxiety that crippled (削弱) my ability to do anything.”、第二段第二句“His presentation not only awed and inspired me, but also helped emerge an inner desire to make a difference in the world.”、第三段最后一句“Each of these new steps continued to grow my confidence.”及最后一段,尤其是“...I say: grab every opportunity with everything you have and be impatient. After all, nature does not require our patience, but our action.”可知作者参加自然保护的活动治愈了她的焦虑,所以文章告诉我们行动是焦虑最大的敌人。故选C。
长难句 原句 ...I wanted to be perfect at whatever I did, which obviously in life is not possible, but it consumed me.
分析 本句是并列复合句,but连接两个并列分句。第一个分句是主从复合句,whatever引导宾语从句,作介词at的宾语;which引导非限制性定语从句。
译文 ……我想在我所做的任何事情上做到完美,这在生活中显然是不可能的,但它啃噬着我。
Ⅱ.◎语篇解读 本文为记叙文。文章围绕作者的兴趣爱好以及性格的形成与发展这一话题进行阐述。
1.G 细节句。设空处上句介绍的是作者儿时有几年一直感到孤独,但设空处下句提到了“His...”,通过逆向思维(His代替上文提到的某个男性)可知设空处一定介绍了另一个与作者有关的男性,G项中的“My older brother”符合该条件,故选G。
2.D 细节句。根据设空处前句(我对书面文字的热爱始于我母亲每天晚上给我念书的时候)以及设空处后面的第二句(我很快就从阅读平常的儿童读物过渡到阅读图画较少、章节较长的书籍)可知,作者在开始阅读时喜欢阅读有图画的书,因此D项是最佳选项。
3.A 细节句。设空处位于段末,由设空处的前句(阅读为我开启了全新的世界)以及文章的首句(当我还是孩子时,体验了几年的孤独)可知,作者不再孤独,因此A项是最佳选项。
4.F 细节句。根据设空处的前句(当妈妈看到我的作品时,她告诉我,我的设计是多么有创造性)以及设空处下句提及的“I learned a lot about how to extend...”可知,在妈妈的鼓励下,制作东西成了作者终生的兴趣,作者学到了怎样延长东西的寿命并把它们变成新的有用的东西,因此F项是最佳选项。
5.E 主旨句。 设空处为段首句。设空处的后句提到的“to spend time outside, no matter the weather or season”以及后文中提及的“raced off”“making leaf houses”和“ice skating”都与E项中的“being outdoors”相关联,因此E项是最佳选项。
