Math had never been something I was good at since middle school. Classes became harder in high school, and I was even further from a math teacher’s dream student. So at the start of my freshman year, I had an aversion to math. It wasn’t that I didn’t want to do well, but simply that I didn’t think I was able to do well. “I can’t” became my state of mind in all things related to math.
However, I was soon to learn that “I can’t” was not a choice in Mr. A’s class.
Mr. A always greeted us with open arms as he said, “Welcome! Smile! It’s a great day to be alive!” It was clear that Mr. A had a true passion (热情) not only for math but for teaching. If Mr. A ever experienced bad days in life, he never showed it. Mr. A greeted us with that same smile every day. He encouraged each student, from the top achiever to the “I can’t” student.
I found myself looking forward to math class, although I still hated the subject itself. Being in Mr. A’s presence made me feel good, as if I had the chance to succeed. As the year progressed, I spent increasingly more time on my homework, and I met with Mr. A weekly. My classmates began to do the same, and it became “cool” to have lunch and talk with Mr. A. We didn’t know it at the time, but he was changing our attitudes .
Though my story is not one of overnight success and I didn’t become a straight-A math student, my hard work did begin to pay off and my grades slowly began to climb. There were hard times, of course. Difficult math questions sometimes succeeded in bringing me down, but Mr. A kept reminding (提醒) me, “Kate, smile! It’s a great day to be alive!”
4. What does the underlined word “aversion” in paragraph 1 probably mean
A. Interest. B. Hate. C. Duty. D. Passion.
5. What happened after the change of the author’s attitude to math
A. She made rapid progress. B. She fell in love with math.
C. She became a straight-A math student. D. She still felt upset at difficult math questions sometimes.
6. What’s the main purpose of writing the passage
A. To remind us that math is difficult . B. To share her method of learning math.
C. To honor a good teacher who changed her. D. To show how she got through a hard time about math.
【答案】4. B 5. D 6. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。作者不擅长数学，并且厌恶数学，但大一时A老师让作者改变了态度，于是成绩开始慢慢上升。
【4题详解】
词义猜测题。根据上文“Math had never been something I was good at since middle school. Classes became harder in high school, and I was even further from a math teacher’s dream student. (从中学开始，我就不擅长数学。高中的课程越来越难，我离数学老师理想中的学生更远了)”可知，从中学到高中，作者越来越学不会数学，所以作者肯定会有消极情绪。画线词所在句中的So表明，作者对数学的消极情绪会更加严重。再结合第四段中的“I found myself looking forward to math class, although I still hated the subject itself.(我发现自己很期待数学课，尽管我仍然讨厌这个科目本身)”可知，作者讨厌数学。由此可推知，aversion意为“讨厌”。故选B。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“There were hard times, of course. Difficult math questions sometimes succeeded in bringing me down, but Mr. A kept reminding (提醒) me, “Kate, smile! It’s a great day to be alive!” (当然，也有艰难的时期。难的数学题有时会让我沮丧，但A先生不断提醒我：“凯特，微笑！活着真是太棒了!”)”可知，作者对数学的态度改变后有时仍然对数学难题感到心烦意乱。故选D。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Difficult math questions sometimes succeeded in bringing me down, but Mr. A kept reminding (提醒) me, “Kate, smile! It’s a great day to be alive!”(难的数学题有时会让我沮丧，但A先生不断提醒我：“凯特，微笑！活着真是太棒了!”)”结合文章讲述了作者不擅长数学，并且厌恶数学，但大一时A老师让作者改变了态度，于是成绩开始慢慢上升。可推知，写这篇文章的主要目的是纪念一位改变她的好老师。故选C。
C
Dogs are often referred to as “man’s best friend”. But MacKenzie, a four-pound chihuahua(吉娃娃犬), who was named winner of the 2023 American Hero Dog Competition on October 19, 2023, is making the world a better place for humans and animals alike.
In its tenth year in 2023, the annual contest is the brainchild of American Humane Association, the country’s first national charitable organization founded for the safety and well-being of animals. Often called the “Oscars for dogs”, the award recognizes dogs who make extremely great contributions (贡献) to society.
The competition of 2023 attracted over 400 entries from across the country. These heroic dogs have gone above the call of duty, saving lives, comforting the ill and aged and reminding us of the powerful, age-old ties between animals and people. While all were impressive, it was tiny MacKenzie who won the judges’ hearts.
MacKenzie’s path to stardom was not easy. Born with a mouth disability, she had to be fed through a tube (管子) for the first year of her life. Despite her own struggles, she always seemed to think more of other animals in need. “Never have I seen such a will to live. Though sick, she carefully looked after the baby animals at the rescue (救助) center,” said her caretaker.
A life-saving operation performed in 2014 gave MacKenzie the ability to eat independently. The seven-year-old chihuahua is now working for the Mia Foundations New York-based charitable organization that rescues and nurses animals with inborn disabilities. The chihuahua does an excellent job and has raised various animals. She plays nurse, cleans, comforts and hugs them, acting as their mother and teaching them how to socialize, play and have good manners.
In addition to her role as an animal caretaker, MacKenzie also visits schools to educate kids about the importance of accepting physical differences in both animals and people. Her heart-warming and inspiring story makes her a worthy receiver of Americans top dog honor!
7. Which of the following is TRUE about the American Hero Dog Competition
A. It takes place every three years. B. It attracts over 400 entries every year.
C. It was meant to honor caretakers of dogs. D. It was started by a charitable organization.
8. What’s the purpose of this competition
A. To improve animals’ confidence. B. To encourage animals to be friendly.
C. To honor talented and strong animals. D. To reward courageous and selfless animals.
9. What can be inferred about MacKenzie according to the passage
A. She became famous easily. B. She has a strong will.
C. She is a good baby-sitter . D. She once couldn’t walk.
10. What’s the best title for the text
A. Are Dogs Man’s Best Friends B. Should we treat Dogs friendly
C. 2023 American Hero Dog: A Tiny Chihuahua D. 2023 Hero Dog Competition: A charity for animals
【答案】7. D 8. D 9. B 10. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。狗通常被称为人类最好的朋友。本文主要讲述了一只四磅重的吉娃娃MacKenzie获得2023年美国英雄狗狗大赛的冠军，并介绍了麦肯齐获得冠军的原因。
【7题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“In its tenth year in 2023, the annual contest is the brainchild of American Humane Association, the country’s first national charitable organization founded for the safety and well-being of animals.(今年是2023年的第10个年头，一年一度的比赛是美国人道协会的创意，该协会是美国第一个为动物安全和福祉而成立的全国性慈善组织)”可知，美国英雄狗狗大赛是由一个慈善组织发起的。D选项“它是由一个慈善组织发起的”说法正确。故选D。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“the award recognizes dogs who make extremely great contributions (贡献) to society.”（该奖项旨在表彰对社会做出巨大贡献的狗）根据第三段“These heroic dogs have gone above the call of duty, saving lives, comforting the ill and aged and reminding us of the powerful, age-old ties between animals and people.(这些英勇的狗超越了职责的召唤，拯救生命，安慰病人和老人，提醒我们动物和人类之间强大而古老的联系)”可知，这个比赛的目的是奖励勇敢无私的动物。故选D。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“Born with a mouth disability, she had to be fed through a tube (管子) for the first year of her life. Despite her own struggles, she always seemed to think more of other animals in need. “Never have I seen such a will to live. Though sick, she carefully looked after the baby animals at the rescue (救助) center,” said her caretaker.(她生来就有口腔残疾，在她生命的第一年里，她不得不通过管子喂食。尽管她自己也很挣扎，但她似乎总是为其他需要帮助的动物着想。“我从来没有见过这样的求生意志。虽然生病了，但她在救援中心小心翼翼地照顾着动物宝宝。”)”可推知，MacKenzie意志力坚强。故选B。
【10题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Dogs are often referred to as “man’s best friend”. But MacKenzie, a four-pound chihuahua(吉娃娃犬), who was named winner of the 2023 American Hero Dog Competition on October 19, 2023, is making the world a better place for humans and animals alike.(狗经常被称为“人类最好的朋友”。但是，在2023年10月19日举行的2023年美国英雄犬比赛中，一只四磅重的吉娃娃狗MacKenzie正在为人类和动物创造一个更美好的世界)”结合文章主要讲述了一只四磅重的吉娃娃MacKenzie于2023年10月19日获得2023年美国英雄狗狗大赛的冠军，并介绍了MacKenzie获得冠军的原因。C项“2023年美国英雄狗：一只小吉娃娃”适合做文章标题，故选C。

Math had never been something I was good at since middle school. Classes became harder in high school, and I was even further from a math teacher’s dream student. So at the start of my freshman year, I had an aversion to math. It wasn’t that I didn’t want to do well, but simply that I didn’t think I was able to do well. “I can’t” became my state of mind in all things related to math.
However, I was soon to learn that “I can’t” was not a choice in Mr. A’s class.
Mr. A always greeted us with open arms as he said, “Welcome! Smile! It’s a great day to be alive!” It was clear that Mr. A had a true passion (热情) not only for math but for teaching. If Mr. A ever experienced bad days in life, he never showed it. Mr. A greeted us with that same smile every day. He encouraged each student, from the top achiever to the “I can’t” student.
I found myself looking forward to math class, although I still hated the subject itself. Being in Mr. A’s presence made me feel good, as if I had the chance to succeed. As the year progressed, I spent increasingly more time on my homework, and I met with Mr. A weekly. My classmates began to do the same, and it became “cool” to have lunch and talk with Mr. A. We didn’t know it at the time, but he was changing our attitudes .
Though my story is not one of overnight success and I didn’t become a straight-A math student, my hard work did begin to pay off and my grades slowly began to climb. There were hard times, of course. Difficult math questions sometimes succeeded in bringing me down, but Mr. A kept reminding (提醒) me, “Kate, smile! It’s a great day to be alive!”
4. What does the underlined word “aversion” in paragraph 1 probably mean
A. Interest. B. Hate. C. Duty. D. Passion.
5. What happened after the change of the author’s attitude to math
A. She made rapid progress. B. She fell in love with math.
C. She became a straight-A math student. D. She still felt upset at difficult math questions sometimes.
6. What’s the main purpose of writing the passage
A. To remind us that math is difficult . B. To share her method of learning math.
C. To honor a good teacher who changed her. D. To show how she got through a hard time about math.
C
Dogs are often referred to as “man’s best friend”. But MacKenzie, a four-pound chihuahua(吉娃娃犬), who was named winner of the 2023 American Hero Dog Competition on October 19, 2023, is making the world a better place for humans and animals alike.
In its tenth year in 2023, the annual contest is the brainchild of American Humane Association, the country’s first national charitable organization founded for the safety and well-being of animals. Often called the “Oscars for dogs”, the award recognizes dogs who make extremely great contributions (贡献) to society.
The competition of 2023 attracted over 400 entries from across the country. These heroic dogs have gone above the call of duty, saving lives, comforting the ill and aged and reminding us of the powerful, age-old ties between animals and people. While all were impressive, it was tiny MacKenzie who won the judges’ hearts.
MacKenzie’s path to stardom was not easy. Born with a mouth disability, she had to be fed through a tube (管子) for the first year of her life. Despite her own struggles, she always seemed to think more of other animals in need. “Never have I seen such a will to live. Though sick, she carefully looked after the baby animals at the rescue (救助) center,” said her caretaker.
A life-saving operation performed in 2014 gave MacKenzie the ability to eat independently. The seven-year-old chihuahua is now working for the Mia Foundations New York-based charitable organization that rescues and nurses animals with inborn disabilities. The chihuahua does an excellent job and has raised various animals. She plays nurse, cleans, comforts and hugs them, acting as their mother and teaching them how to socialize, play and have good manners.
In addition to her role as an animal caretaker MacKenzie also visits schools to educate kids about the importance of accepting physical differences in both animals and people. Her heart-warming and inspiring story makes her a worthy receiver of Americans top dog honor!
7. Which of the following is TRUE about the American Hero Dog Competition
A. It takes place every three years. B. It attracts over 400 entries every year.
C. It was meant to honor caretakers of dogs. D. It was started by a charitable organization.
8. What’s the purpose of this competition
A. To improve animals’ confidence. B. To encourage animals to be friendly.
C. To honor talented and strong animals. D. To reward courageous and selfless animals.
9. What can be inferred about MacKenzie according to the passage
A. She became famous easily. B. She has a strong will.
C. She is a good baby-sitter . D. She once couldn’t walk.
10. What’s the best title for the text
A. Are Dogs Man’s Best Friends B. Should we treat Dogs friendly
C. 2023 American Hero Dog: A Tiny Chihuahua D. 2023 Hero Dog Competition: A charity for animals
