B篇1
(2024届广东省高三上学期适应性考试)When I was a child, my grandmother often said people and communication mattered. She backed that up with her own behavior. When she walked down the street, she would speak to everyone. It didn’t matter if you were an elderly person or a child, or if you spoke English or Spanish. She just smiled and talked to everyone.
However, as she aged, she noticed that her approach was becoming rare.She talked about how, in the age of technology, most people don’t think they have time for longer communications than text messages. In fact, people barely speak to one another nowadays. As much as I hated to admit it, I had noticed it too.
My grandmother’s wisdom inspired me to have a pen pal. It all started in 2013. I went to the University of Southern California to meet with Kerstin Zilm, who wanted to interview me about being a student struggling financially(经济上地). I didn’t know much about German culture or the German audience who would listen to the show, but I agreed to do so because I remembered my grandmother’s wisdom. I felt that speaking about my story was better than keeping it to myself. You never knew who could learn from your life experiences.
Soon after knowing my story from the show, a woman named Renate reached out to me, asking how she could help me financially with college. I was grateful that Renate wanted to help, but my pride didn’t allow me to accept money. Thinking of my grandmother’s wisdom, I didn’t let the communication stop. I emailed Renate back, thanking her for her kindness sincerely.
From then on, Renate and I often emailed each other. She even sent me gifts and cakes on my birthday. And whenever I was in trouble, she was always there. She sent me virtual(虚拟的)hugs at the moments when I needed them most. Though I have never met her in person, she is one of the most important people in my life. And I promise I will turn all the virtual hugs into real ones one day.

(2024届广东省茂名市高三上学期一模)In the 7th grade, I was a naughty boy. Ms. Dinos pulled me aside for a fateful chat. What she had to say was simple—I was a follower with the potential of a leader, and what I needed was some new friends and some time to grow up. She suggested to my mother that I repeat the 7th grade. After a pout(噘嘴), a plea and a prayer, I made a deal, “give me the summer and I’ll show you!”
That summer, I made it my business to do just that. By the following school year, I was awarded a medal that valued my efforts. Two of those three friends she warned me of eventually became alcoholics—one an ex-con(前科犯), the other a woman-beater. Ms. Dinos saved my life.
Twenty years later, Ms. Dinos and I were reunited on the internet. However, she didn’t remember the event at all. Right then it hit me. That event that meant so much to me was just a singular moment in her well-lived life. And I learnt that Ms. Dinos had since become a famous garden designer, for she had a gift for planting seeds.
It was only months after reuniting with Ms. Dinos that an old student of my own popped up online. She informed me of the moment that I inspired her. According to her, I once shared a drawing of mine with the class. That student was so moved by the drawing that she wanted to learn to do the same. That picture ignited in her a passion that she later turned into a career. My own little seed was planted and now has grown.
Now understanding what I do about the power of planting seeds, I take every opportunity: share what I can with as many young people as possible. I offer bits of wisdom or words of encouragement, but sometimes just a smile—it goes a long way. I know that one day, when they’re ready for it, that seed I planted will he there, ready to grow.
24. How did the author respond to Ms Dino’ suggestion

B篇3
(2024届江西省六校高三上学期第一次联考)Zing! Such is the sound of the towline(拖绳)as it flies from my grasp and the motorboat drags it away. It is also the end of my effort to stand on two blue boards and sail across a lake behind a speedboat. “I’ve had it, e get me!” I know he can’t hear me as he rockets off. Besides, I know what he will say—“It’s easy, sweetheart. Just stand up and let the boat do the rest.” Well, I’ve tried to follow his advice, but my shaky legs tell me it’s over. How did it come to this
My father determined that his group of teenagers should learn to water-ski. He knew little about it, but he saw others on the lake with fast crafts(船)and joyful skiers, and decided to join the fun.
On a hot day, he tied the rope and loaded us into life jackets. One by one, he pulled the boys to and from, waving to neighbors on their docks. Then it was the girls’ turn. I jumped in the lake, wore the two heavy skis, pointed them out of the water, and grasped the towline with trembling hands. I had no idea what to do. My father dismissed my fears with a wave of his hand. “Keep the tips up, sweetheart.”
It’s time to give up. But here comes my dad dragging the line, ready for me to try again. I signal that I am ready to get back in the boat, but he smiles and yells, “This time will be magic!”
Dad guns the engine. The weight of an entire lake is on my chest, pushing me back. Like a light switched on in a dark room, my father’s words show me the way. “Just stand up, angel. Just do it.” And so I did, even though I cried aloud.
I take a deep breath and straighten my legs. My blue skis begin to skim(滑过)the lake, like a seagull scanning for snacks!

(2024届陕西省西安市长安区高三上学期第一次联考)Jose Alberto Gutierrez’s life would never be the same again after finding a copy of Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy in the garbage 20 years ago. It happened while he was driving his garbage truck through wealthier neighborhoods at night and seeing deserted books. It sparked his desire to start rescuing books from the garbage. He took home between 50 and 60 books every morning after his nine-hour shift. Eventually, he turned his book collection into a community library.
Colombia’s capital city of Bogota has 13 million residents and 19 public libraries. However, these libraries tend to be far away from where rural and poorer communities live. The option of buying new books is non-existent for families struggling to make ends meet. Having access to a library of books and being taken away to another world while immersed in a book is a luxury for the kids who visit Gutierrez’s library.
Gutierrez grew up poor, and his family could not afford to educate him beyond primary school. Nevertheless, his mother was a keen reader and read stories to him every night. Her love for books left a deep impression on Gutierrez, who never let a lack of formal education stop him from reading classics by the likes of Victor Hugo, Mario Vargas Llosa and Gabriel Garcia Marquez.
Today, his community library, called “The Strength of Words”, occupies most of his home and is piled from floor to ceiling with fiction and non-fiction titles. Everything from school textbooks to story books can be found in his collection of more than 20,000 books!
The Strength of Words library opens every weekend. It is not just school-going children who are enjoying the benefits of The Strength of Words library. Adults are also welcome to expand their horizons and develop new skills to build a better life for themselves.
Despite having done so much for his community, Gutierrez is not yet content to call it a day. He continues to search through bins for reading material and has even travelled to book fairs in Mexico and Chile to sell his idea of building library from unwanted books.

(河南省周口市部分学校2023-2024学年上学期高三1月期末素质测评)At age 14, Kristin Beale suffered injuries in an accident. She was riding one Jet Ski on a lake when a schoolmate ran over her, leaving her with a serious spinal cord(脊髓)injury.
Before the accident, Beale was an active student at Henrico’s Deep Run High School, involved in competition cheerleading and hockey. Afterward, she had to relearn how to perform daily tasks. “When I was in hospital, doctors told my parents I would be a vegetable, and that I wouldn’t be able to breathe or swallow. I wanted to disprove everything they had on their list,” she says.
Beale began writing about her experiences while working on her recovery in California. By the time she finished, she had written 32 stories. She narrowed them down and eventually gathered them into her first nonfiction book, “Greater Things”, about how people react to her and how she has overcome her injuries and stays positive. “I never thought it would become a book, but that’s how it all started,” Beale says.
Her second book, “Date Me”, is a collection of comics coming from three dozen unsuccessful dates. “I would turn those dates into comic strips,” Beale says. Instead of typical banter, she says, each meeting was a “disability-centered date. It felt like interviewing about my disability. I would open up on the dates.” Trying to find humor in something that is not really funny. Beale drew comics about her dates’ reactions to her wheelchair-bound status. She didn’t start dating to get material for a book. Beale notes, “I love to meet people, go out and do things. It turned into,’ How can I turn a waste of time and hurt feelings into something good ’”
Now working as a literary scout for her publisher, Morgan James Publishing in Hampton, Beale continues to write. Another nonfiction book, “A Million Suns”, details her journey “from the darkness of disability into the sunlight of circumstance” and how she has found happiness.
24. What might be on the doctors’ “list” for Beale

(湖南省益阳市2023-2024学年高三上学期期末)Cycling has become more than a habit for “Granny Mave,” as Mavis Paterson is known. It has become essential for her very being, her very reason for living after all three of her adult children passed away within four years of each other — Sandy in 2012, Katie in 2013 and Bob in 2016.
It was in memory of her children that the 85-year-old grandmother set out on her latest endurance challenge in May, cycling 1,000 miles around Scotland, beginning from the Mull of Galloway, before heading north, tracing the outline of the country until she reached the Mull of Galloway again.
“If I didn’t have my bicycle, and this is terrible to say, I don’t think I would want to live,” she told CNN Sport.
Paterson cycled every day for a month around Scotland, navigating its undulating(起伏的)landscape, exposed roads and unpredictable weather. Every day, she woke up early and set out riding — covering up to 50 miles a day—and raising money for British-based charity Macmillan Cancer Support.
Cycling has provided some comfort, some way for her to cope with unimaginable loss. All along the route, Paterson recalled other cyclists coming out to keep her company, offering “terrific support,” some of them riding with her for several days at a time. Such support was a constant throughout Paterson’s odyssey(跋涉)across Scotland, ending in a crowd at the finish line who had gathered to cheer her on.
“I know people have got on their bikes and thought, ‘If that old lady can do it, I can do it.’ And also people who have been a bit depressed and thought, ‘Oh gosh, I shouldn’t be like this. Look at poor Mave, she’s lost all her children.’ So a lot of people have taken up cycling because of my cycle rides and just inspired people apparently,” she said.
24. Why did Paterson start her cycling around Scotland
A. To keep exercise and improve her health.
B. To take up the hobby of her three children.
C. To recover from the death of her children.
D. To be the oldest lady to ride around Scotland.
25. What can we say about the cycling around Scotland
A. It is highly profitable and well-received.
B. It requires great effort and determination.
C. It needs professional training and equipment.
D. It aims to raise money for the disabled people.
26. What is paragraph 5 mainly about
A. The support Paterson asked others for.
B. Some achievements Paterson achieved.
C. The challenges Paterson set for herself.
D. The friendship Paterson got along the way.
27. Which of the following can best describe Paterson
A. A cyclist. B. A sponsor. C. A hopeless mother. D. An inspiration.

(青海省西宁市2023-2024学年高三上学期期末联考)I started a Facebook page in July, and it’s steadily growing! The best part isn’t the number of its “followers” but its comments — I love reading about what people do, their ideas and views and get some feedback(反馈)on what I’m doing too.
In April of this year, I was invited by a friend to join her Social Change group. We were eight women from all walks of life, but we had one thing in common — we live in a fantastic country and yet we can see homeless people on the streets asking for money. We have a generous welfare system and a social housing scheme — but it’s a problem that is getting worse. We asked ourselves: What happens to homeless women
Therefore, we volunteered at shelters. We met with social housing providers, shelter managers and social workers, and began to think what else we could do. We researched on which programs were having success. We had guest speakers at our meetings and began to get a clear picture about what we needed to do.
As luck would have it, we have been gifted a building in the city center. It’s old and needs a lot of work to bring it up to the standard. We want to provide more than just shelter to women in need. We aim to have six self-contained apartments providing full social services for women to stay in for up to two years. Thanks to the building provider, we have got our project off the ground.
I’m an ordinary person. If I can do this, anyone can. You can change the world. Look for the opportunity and just do it.
24. What can we learn about the Facebook page
A. Its followers increase steadily. B. It helps the author get feedback.
C. It was set up to advertise their service. D. Its main content is people’s comments.
25. What does the author think of her country
A. Its people are suffering. B. Its system is getting worse.
C. It still has a long way to go. D. It is a place full of inequality.
26. By volunteering at shelters, the eight women _______.
A. acquired a few communication skills
B. discovered their ability to change the world
C. had a better understanding of social problems
D. were inspired to start a project to help the homeless women
27. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text

C. To thank housing providers for their help. D. To encourage people to improve the world.

(山东省菏泽市2023-2024学年高三上学期期末)David and Alicia Tschirhart adored their Yellow Lab, Marley, but they never knew just how much, until that day back in 2014 when they were hiking with him in hills near their San Diego home.
“Alicia went off the path to grab a walking stick to help through the path,” David recalled. “And Marley all of a sudden darted(猛冲)from me and he started clawing the ground where Alicia was reaching for a walking stick. And I didn’t know what was happening. Alicia kind of fell back. When I looked more closely, I saw that it was a rattlesnake,” he told journalist Tracy Smith.
Rattlesnakes are common on these trails, which are very steep and miles from any hospital. And the Tschirharts didn’t have cellphones with them. For Alicia, who was four months pregnant, a snake bite could have been a disaster. Thankfully, 12-year-old Marley scared the snake away, and a few months later, the Tschirharts’ first daughter Maddie was born.
But by then, Marley had been diagnosed with cancer, and by Thanksgiving weekend 2014, it was clear the end was near. And their love for Marley was so strong that they couldn’t really let it go. So, the Tschirharts turned to ViaGen Pets, of Austin, Texas, a company that has cloned hundreds of pets for a multitude of grateful owners.
For as much as $50,000, the company will culture the cells, create embryos, implant them in a surrogate(代孕母亲), and deliver a clone of your loved one.
Marley’s clone, Ziggy, an energetic yellow ball. But to David and Alicia, he’s nothing less than Marley reborn. “He is exactly the twin of Marley,” said David. “So, he’s in, I guess, the same environment. So really, he’s become the same dog.”
And while pet cloning is still debatable, it can mean, for some at least, that with the right amount of love, science and money, you never really need to say goodbye.
24. Why did Marley suddenly behave that way during the hike
A. It wanted to have some fun. B. It wasn’t normal sometimes.
C. It detected danger for its owner. D. It found a better stick for its owner.

C. The couple don’t like using a cellphone. D. The couple were very careless sometimes.
26. What did the couple decide to do near Marley’s death
A. Save it no matter how hard it is. B. Find its surrogate for them to meet.
C. Let it die without suffering any pain. D. Clone a dog through new technology.
27. What is the couple’s attitude towards Ziggy
A. They find it very satisfying to them. B. They consider it a totally new dog.
C. They are quite concerned about it. D. They don’t think it’s as good as Marley.

(四川省部分名校2023-2024学年高三上学期期末联考)On March 1, Dr. Dituri began a project to stay for 100 days at a special hotel called Jules’s Undersea Lodge 30 feet under the ocean surface in a conservation area in Key Largo.
The farther you go below the ocean’s surface, the greater the pressure. Dr. Dituri wanted to learn how this pressure would affect the human body over time. He believes that high pressure could help people live longer and stay healthier as they get older. It could also help doctors treat different medical problems, including brain injuries.
While he was living underwater, Dr. Dituri still stayed busy daily according to his schedule. He often exercised in the morning. He kept teaching his college classes virtually and had online chats with over 5,500 students from 15 different countries. He also worked with ocean experts to figure out ways to preserve the ocean. He even had a number of visitors who dove down to spend a little time with him.
On June 9, De. Dituri returned to the surface with a new world record, beating the old record of 73 days. Many friends, family and other supporters were there to greet him and celebrate his success. Doctors quickly checked him out to make sure he was okay. Actually, Dr. Dturi went through several big changes. For one thing, he became 1.3 centimeters shorter during his time in the higher undersea pressure. Sleeping much better, his health greatly improved in a couple of ways. Dr. Dituri and his team plan to study the information they collected during the project. In November, Dr. Dituri will speak at an important medical meeting in Scotland about the discoveries the scientists made during the project.
Dr. Dituri says his favorite part of the project was talking with young people. “Who knows ” he said. “Maybe one day, one of them will come back and break the record we just set. My greatest hope is that I have inspired a new generation of explorers and researchers to push past all boundaries.”

B篇10
(2024届浙江省杭州市高三上学期一模)In 1959, Handler changed how toy dolls were made when she introduced “Barbie” to the world. With her mature figure, Barbie was one of the first “grown-up” dolls to hit the retail market.
Handler wanted to create a toy that was different from the baby dolls that dominated little girls’ toy boxes. She wanted a doll that girls could project their future dreams upon and allowed for limitless clothing and career choices. Inspired by paper dolls of the time, Handler, to much disagreement, made sure Barbie had the body of a grown woman.
“My own philosophy of Barbie,” Handler wrote in her autobiography, “was that through the doll, the little girl could be anything she wanted to be. Barbie always represented the fact that a woman had choices.”
There’s even a Barbie for cancer patients — Brave Barbie — a partnership between Mattel and CureSearch that sends a bald(光头的)Barbie to families affected by cancer. “Gifting my daughter a Barbie who suffered from cancer was tremendous,” Michelle, a cancer survivor said, “We would play with that Barbie together and I’d heartbreakingly watch her pretend to take the doll to the hospital for chemo(化疗), or place its long wig on top of its head and tell the doll ‘It’s time to be beautiful again.’”
Bald Barbie was super brave and went on awesome adventures after chemo. Sometimes she felt sick and needed to sleep, but would feel much better after a rest. Bald Barbie always beat the cancer and went on to live a long and happy life with her family. That Barbie became so much more than a plastic doll — she was a means of communication and a coping mechanism during an extremely distressing time for little families.
24. Why did Handler create Barbie
A. To make a hit in the retail market. B. To appeal to girls with her diverse outfits.
C. To do a project on women’s career choices. D. To inspire girls to make choices as they wish.
25. How might Michelle feel when watching her daughter with Brave Barbie
A. Sad yet comforted. B. Envious yet proud.
C. Overwhelmed and ashamed. D. Heartbroken and regretful.
26. What does Brave Barbie mean to Michelle’s family
A. A reliable emotional support. B. A glue for broken relationships.
C. An effective practical treatment. D. A secret medium of negotiation.
27. Where is the text probably taken from
A. A medical journal. B. A charity brochure.
C. A financial report. D. A story collection.

B篇2
(2024届广东省茂名市高三上学期一模)In the 7th grade, I was a naughty boy. Ms. Dinos pulled me aside for a fateful chat. What she had to say was simple—I was a follower with the potential of a leader, and what I needed was some new friends and some time to grow up. She suggested to my mother that I repeat the 7th grade. After a pout(噘嘴), a plea and a prayer, I made a deal, “give me the summer and I’ll show you!”
That summer, I made it my business to do just that. By the following school year, I was awarded a medal that valued my efforts. Two of those three friends she warned me of eventually became alcoholics—one an ex-con(前科犯), the other a woman-beater. Ms. Dinos saved my life.
Twenty years later, Ms. Dinos and I were reunited on the internet. However, she didn’t remember the event at all. Right then it hit me. That event that meant so much to me was just a singular moment in her well-lived life. And I learnt that Ms. Dinos had since become a famous garden designer, for she had a gift for planting seeds.
It was only months after reuniting with Ms. Dinos that an old student of my own popped up online. She informed me of the moment that I inspired her. According to her, I once shared a drawing of mine with the class. That student was so moved by the drawing that she wanted to learn to do the same. That picture ignited in her a passion that she later turned into a career. My own little seed was planted and now has grown.
Now understanding what I do about the power of planting seeds, I take every opportunity: share what I can with as many young people as possible. I offer bits of wisdom or words of encouragement, but sometimes just a smile—it goes a long way. I know that one day, when they’re ready for it, that seed I planted will he there, ready to grow.
24. How did the author respond to Ms Dino’ suggestion
A. He ignored the advice. B. He accepted it willingly.
C. He begged for another chance. D. He decided to change schools.
25. From paragraph 3, we can learn that _______.
A. Ms. Dinos could recall the event vividly B. Ms. Dinos had become a famous leather
C. the author had the same feeling as Ms. Dinos D. the author was surprised by Ms. Dinos’ reaction
26. What does the underlined word “ignited” mean in paragraph 4
A. Invited. B. Unfolded. C. Sparked. D. Displayed.
27. What does the author most likely want to tell us
A. Seeds need planting. B. We are all gardeners.
C. Pictures perform miracles. D. Ms. Dinos predicts the future.

B篇3
(2024届江西省六校高三上学期第一次联考)Zing! Such is the sound of the towline(拖绳)as it flies from my grasp and the motorboat drags it away. It is also the end of my effort to stand on two blue boards and sail across a lake behind a speedboat. “I’ve had it, e get me!” I know he can’t hear me as he rockets off. Besides, I know what he will say—“It’s easy, sweetheart. Just stand up and let the boat do the rest.” Well, I’ve tried to follow his advice, but my shaky legs tell me it’s over. How did it come to this
My father determined that his group of teenagers should learn to water-ski. He knew little about it, but he saw others on the lake with fast crafts(船)and joyful skiers, and decided to join the fun.
On a hot day, he tied the rope and loaded us into life jackets. One by one, he pulled the boys to and from, waving to neighbors on their docks. Then it was the girls’ turn. I jumped in the lake, wore the two heavy skis, pointed them out of the water, and grasped the towline with trembling hands. I had no idea what to do. My father dismissed my fears with a wave of his hand. “Keep the tips up, sweetheart.”
It’s time to give up. But here comes my dad dragging the line, ready for me to try again. I signal that I am ready to get back in the boat, but he smiles and yells, “This time will be magic!”
Dad guns the engine. The weight of an entire lake is on my chest, pushing me back. Like a light switched on in a dark room, my father’s words show me the way. “Just stand up, angel. Just do it.” And so I did, even though I cried aloud.
I take a deep breath and straighten my legs. My blue skis begin to skim(滑过)the lake, like a seagull scanning for snacks!
24. What scene does the author describe in Para. 1
A. Her falling out of a speedboat. B. Her first failure to water-ski.
C. Her touring in a motorboat. D. Her efforts to drive a speedboat.
25. Why did Dad ask his children to learn water-skiing
A. To enjoy the pleasure of it. B. To train them to be players.
C. To teach them surviving skills. D. To win respect from neighbors.
26. What helped the author successfully ski
A. Her desire to win an honor. B. Her fear of being laughed at.
C. Her dad’s professional skills. D. Her dad’s encouraging words.
27. What might be the best title for the text

My blue skis begin to skim(滑过)the lake, like a seagull scanning for snacks!(我深吸一口气，伸直双腿。我的蓝色滑雪板开始掠过湖面，就像一只海鸥在寻找零食!)”可知，文章主要介绍了作者的父亲让孩子们学习滑水，作者尝试了多次后仍然失败，在准备放弃的时候，父亲给予她鼓励，作者因此坚持学习依靠自己最终取得了成功的故事。因此C项“Learn to Water-Ski on My Own Feet(学会用自己的脚滑水)”最适合作为文章标题，故选C。
B篇4
(2024届陕西省西安市长安区高三上学期第一次联考)Jose Alberto Gutierrez’s life would never be the same again after finding a copy of Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy in the garbage 20 years ago. It happened while he was driving his garbage truck through wealthier neighborhoods at night and seeing deserted books. It sparked his desire to start rescuing books from the garbage. He took home between 50 and 60 books every morning after his nine-hour shift. Eventually, he turned his book collection into a community library.
Colombia’s capital city of Bogota has 13 million residents and 19 public libraries. However, these libraries tend to be far away from where rural and poorer communities live. The option of buying new books is non-existent for families struggling to make ends meet. Having access to a library of books and being taken away to another world while immersed in a book is a luxury for the kids who visit Gutierrez’s library.
Gutierrez grew up poor, and his family could not afford to educate him beyond primary school. Nevertheless, his mother was a keen reader and read stories to him every night. Her love for books left a deep impression on Gutierrez, who never let a lack of formal education stop him from reading classics by the likes of Victor Hugo, Mario Vargas Llosa and Gabriel Garcia Marquez.
Today, his community library, called “The Strength of Words”, occupies most of his home and is piled from floor to ceiling with fiction and non-fiction titles. Everything from school textbooks to story books can be found in his collection of more than 20,000 books!
The Strength of Words library opens every weekend. It is not just school-going children who are enjoying the benefits of The Strength of Words library. Adults are also welcome to expand their horizons and develop new skills to build a better life for themselves.
Despite having done so much for his community, Gutierrez is not yet content to call it a day. He continues to search through bins for reading material and has even travelled to book fairs in Mexico and Chile to sell his idea of building library from unwanted books.
24.What inspired Gutierrez to build the community library
A. Famous novelists he liked very much. B. The dilemma he faced on the night shift.
C. Abandoned books he came across at work. D. The hobby he has taken up since childhood.
25.What is mainly talked about in paragraph 3

(河南省周口市部分学校2023-2024学年上学期高三1月期末素质测评)At age 14, Kristin Beale suffered injuries in an accident. She was riding one Jet Ski on a lake when a schoolmate ran over her, leaving her with a serious spinal cord(脊髓)injury.
Before the accident, Beale was an active student at Henrico’s Deep Run High School, involved in competition cheerleading and hockey. Afterward, she had to relearn how to perform daily tasks. “When I was in hospital, doctors told my parents I would be a vegetable, and that I wouldn’t be able to breathe or swallow. I wanted to disprove everything they had on their list,” she says.
Beale began writing about her experiences while working on her recovery in California. By the time she finished, she had written 32 stories. She narrowed them down and eventually gathered them into her first nonfiction book, “Greater Things”, about how people react to her and how she has overcome her injuries and stays positive. “I never thought it would become a book, but that’s how it all started,” Beale says.
Her second book, “Date Me”, is a collection of comics coming from three dozen unsuccessful dates. “I would turn those dates into comic strips,” Beale says. Instead of typical banter, she says, each meeting was a “disability-centered date. It felt like interviewing about my disability. I would open up on the dates.” Trying to find humor in something that is not really funny. Beale drew comics about her dates’ reactions to her wheelchair-bound status. She didn’t start dating to get material for a book. Beale notes, “I love to meet people, go out and do things. It turned into,’ How can I turn a waste of time and hurt feelings into something good ’”
Now working as a literary scout for her publisher, Morgan James Publishing in Hampton, Beale continues to write. Another nonfiction book, “A Million Suns”, details her journey “from the darkness of disability into the sunlight of circumstance” and how she has found happiness.
24. What might be on the doctors’ “list” for Beale
A. Daily tasks for treatment. B. Consequences of Beale’s injury.
C. Diets during recovery. D. Instructions on using drugs.
25. Why did Beale begin writing stories during her recovery
A. To publish a book of her own. B. To cheer herself up in the hospital.
C. To record her experiences after injury. D. To encourage the patients with disabilities.
26. How did Beale usually behave while dating
A. She didn’t take it seriously. B. She was careful and sensitive.
C. She talked with a sense of humor. D. She was honest and open-minded.
27. What’s the theme of the book “A Million Suns”
A. Beale’s skills in successful dates. B. Beale’s theory on true happiness.
C. Beale’s dream of a brighter future. D. Beale’s struggle with spinal cord injury.

B篇6
(湖南省益阳市2023-2024学年高三上学期期末)Cycling has become more than a habit for “Granny Mave,” as Mavis Paterson is known. It has become essential for her very being, her very reason for living after all three of her adult children passed away within four years of each other — Sandy in 2012, Katie in 2013 and Bob in 2016.
It was in memory of her children that the 85-year-old grandmother set out on her latest endurance challenge in May, cycling 1,000 miles around Scotland, beginning from the Mull of Galloway, before heading north, tracing the outline of the country until she reached the Mull of Galloway again.
“If I didn’t have my bicycle, and this is terrible to say, I don’t think I would want to live,” she told CNN Sport.
Paterson cycled every day for a month around Scotland, navigating its undulating(起伏的)landscape, exposed roads and unpredictable weather. Every day, she woke up early and set out riding — covering up to 50 miles a day—and raising money for British-based charity Macmillan Cancer Support.
Cycling has provided some comfort, some way for her to cope with unimaginable loss. All along the route, Paterson recalled other cyclists coming out to keep her company, offering “terrific support,” some of them riding with her for several days at a time. Such support was a constant throughout Paterson’s odyssey(跋涉)across Scotland, ending in a crowd at the finish line who had gathered to cheer her on.
“I know people have got on their bikes and thought, ‘If that old lady can do it, I can do it.’ And also people who have been a bit depressed and thought, ‘Oh gosh, I shouldn’t be like this. Look at poor Mave, she’s lost all her children.’ So a lot of people have taken up cycling because of my cycle rides and just inspired people apparently,” she said.
24. Why did Paterson start her cycling around Scotland
A. To keep exercise and improve her health.
B. To take up the hobby of her three children.
C. To recover from the death of her children.
D. To be the oldest lady to ride around Scotland.
25. What can we say about the cycling around Scotland
A. It is highly profitable and well-received.
B. It requires great effort and determination.
C. It needs professional training and equipment.
D. It aims to raise money for the disabled people.
26. What is paragraph 5 mainly about
A. The support Paterson asked others for.
B. Some achievements Paterson achieved.
C. The challenges Paterson set for herself.
D. The friendship Paterson got along the way.
27. Which of the following can best describe Paterson
A. A cyclist. B. A sponsor. C. A hopeless mother. D. An inspiration.

25.【答案】B
【解析】推理判断题。根据第四段中“Paterson cycled every day for a month around Scotland, navigating its undulating(起伏的)landscape, exposed roads and unpredictable weather.(Paterson连续一个月每天骑车环绕苏格兰，穿梭于起伏的地形、裸露的道路和变幻莫测的天气之中)”可知，骑行苏格兰需要面对不太理想的自然环境，地形、道路状况、天气都不是很有利于骑行。由此可知，这需要很大的努力和决心，故选B项。
26.【答案】D
【解析】主旨大意题。根据第五段中“All along the route, Paterson recalled other cyclists coming out to keep her company, offering “terrific support,” some of them riding with her for several days at a time.

27.【答案】D

Look at poor Mave, she’s lost all her children.’ So a lot of people have taken up cycling because of my cycle rides and just inspired people apparently(我知道人们骑上自行车后会想，‘如果那个老太太能做到，我也能做到。’还有一些人有些沮丧，他们会想，‘哦，天哪，我不应该这样。看看可怜的Mave，她失去了所有的孩子。’所以很多人都开始骑自行车了，因为我骑自行车，这显然激励了人们)”可知，Paterson的骑行经历激励了一些人尝试骑行，也让一些沮丧的人恢复精神，对他们起到了激励的作用。因此，她是个鼓舞人心的人，故选D项。
B篇7
(青海省西宁市2023-2024学年高三上学期期末联考)I started a Facebook page in July, and it’s steadily growing! The best part isn’t the number of its “followers” but its comments — I love reading about what people do, their ideas and views and get some feedback(反馈)on what I’m doing too.
In April of this year, I was invited by a friend to join her Social Change group. We were eight women from all walks of life, but we had one thing in common — we live in a fantastic country and yet we can see homeless people on the streets asking for money. We have a generous welfare system and a social housing scheme — but it’s a problem that is getting worse. We asked ourselves: What happens to homeless women
Therefore, we volunteered at shelters. We met with social housing providers, shelter managers and social workers, and began to think what else we could do. We researched on which programs were having success. We had guest speakers at our meetings and began to get a clear picture about what we needed to do.
As luck would have it, we have been gifted a building in the city center. It’s old and needs a lot of work to bring it up to the standard. We want to provide more than just shelter to women in need. We aim to have six self-contained apartments providing full social services for women to stay in for up to two years. Thanks to the building provider, we have got our project off the ground.
I’m an ordinary person. If I can do this, anyone can. You can change the world. Look for the opportunity and just do it.
24. What can we learn about the Facebook page
A. Its followers increase steadily. B. It helps the author get feedback.
C. It was set up to advertise their service. D. Its main content is people’s comments.
25. What does the author think of her country
A. Its people are suffering. B. Its system is getting worse.
C. It still has a long way to go. D. It is a place full of inequality.
26. By volunteering at shelters, the eight women _______.
A. acquired a few communication skills
B. discovered their ability to change the world
C. had a better understanding of social problems
D. were inspired to start a project to help the homeless women
27. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text
A. To share her story. B. To introduce her job.
C. To thank housing providers for their help. D. To encourage people to improve the world.

B篇8
(山东省菏泽市2023-2024学年高三上学期期末)David and Alicia Tschirhart adored their Yellow Lab, Marley, but they never knew just how much, until that day back in 2014 when they were hiking with him in hills near their San Diego home.
“Alicia went off the path to grab a walking stick to help through the path,” David recalled. “And Marley all of a sudden darted(猛冲)from me and he started clawing the ground where Alicia was reaching for a walking stick. And I didn’t know what was happening. Alicia kind of fell back. When I looked more closely, I saw that it was a rattlesnake,” he told journalist Tracy Smith.
Rattlesnakes are common on these trails, which are very steep and miles from any hospital. And the Tschirharts didn’t have cellphones with them. For Alicia, who was four months pregnant, a snake bite could have been a disaster. Thankfully, 12-year-old Marley scared the snake away, and a few months later, the Tschirharts’ first daughter Maddie was born.
But by then, Marley had been diagnosed with cancer, and by Thanksgiving weekend 2014, it was clear the end was near. And their love for Marley was so strong that they couldn’t really let it go. So, the Tschirharts turned to ViaGen Pets, of Austin, Texas, a company that has cloned hundreds of pets for a multitude of grateful owners.
For as much as $50,000, the company will culture the cells, create embryos, implant them in a surrogate(代孕母亲), and deliver a clone of your loved one.
Marley’s clone, Ziggy, an energetic yellow ball. But to David and Alicia, he’s nothing less than Marley reborn. “He is exactly the twin of Marley,” said David. “So, he’s in, I guess, the same environment. So really, he’s become the same dog.”
And while pet cloning is still debatable, it can mean, for some at least, that with the right amount of love, science and money, you never really need to say goodbye.
24. Why did Marley suddenly behave that way during the hike
A. It wanted to have some fun. B. It wasn’t normal sometimes.
C. It detected danger for its owner. D. It found a better stick for its owner.
25. What does paragraph 3 mainly show
A. The couple just have one daughter now. B. The couple were very grateful to the dog.
C. The couple don’t like using a cellphone. D. The couple were very careless sometimes.
26. What did the couple decide to do near Marley’s death
A. Save it no matter how hard it is. B. Find its surrogate for them to meet.
C. Let it die without suffering any pain. D. Clone a dog through new technology.
27. What is the couple’s attitude towards Ziggy
A. They find it very satisfying to them. B. They consider it a totally new dog.
C. They are quite concerned about it. D. They don’t think it’s as good as Marley.

(四川省部分名校2023-2024学年高三上学期期末联考)On March 1, Dr. Dituri began a project to stay for 100 days at a special hotel called Jules’s Undersea Lodge 30 feet under the ocean surface in a conservation area in Key Largo.
The farther you go below the ocean’s surface, the greater the pressure. Dr. Dituri wanted to learn how this pressure would affect the human body over time. He believes that high pressure could help people live longer and stay healthier as they get older. It could also help doctors treat different medical problems, including brain injuries.
While he was living underwater, Dr. Dituri still stayed busy daily according to his schedule. He often exercised in the morning. He kept teaching his college classes virtually and had online chats with over 5,500 students from 15 different countries. He also worked with ocean experts to figure out ways to preserve the ocean. He even had a number of visitors who dove down to spend a little time with him.
On June 9, De. Dituri returned to the surface with a new world record, beating the old record of 73 days. Many friends, family and other supporters were there to greet him and celebrate his success. Doctors quickly checked him out to make sure he was okay. Actually, Dr. Dturi went through several big changes. For one thing, he became 1.3 centimeters shorter during his time in the higher undersea pressure. Sleeping much better, his health greatly improved in a couple of ways. Dr. Dituri and his team plan to study the information they collected during the project. In November, Dr. Dituri will speak at an important medical meeting in Scotland about the discoveries the scientists made during the project.
Dr. Dituri says his favorite part of the project was talking with young people. “Who knows ” he said. “Maybe one day, one of them will come back and break the record we just set. My greatest hope is that I have inspired a new generation of explorers and researchers to push past all boundaries.”

B篇10
(2024届浙江省杭州市高三上学期一模)In 1959, Handler changed how toy dolls were made when she introduced “Barbie” to the world. With her mature figure, Barbie was one of the first “grown-up” dolls to hit the retail market.
Handler wanted to create a toy that was different from the baby dolls that dominated little girls’ toy boxes. She wanted a doll that girls could project their future dreams upon and allowed for limitless clothing and career choices. Inspired by paper dolls of the time, Handler, to much disagreement, made sure Barbie had the body of a grown woman.
“My own philosophy of Barbie,” Handler wrote in her autobiography, “was that through the doll, the little girl could be anything she wanted to be. Barbie always represented the fact that a woman had choices.”
There’s even a Barbie for cancer patients — Brave Barbie — a partnership between Mattel and CureSearch that sends a bald(光头的)Barbie to families affected by cancer. “Gifting my daughter a Barbie who suffered from cancer was tremendous,” Michelle, a cancer survivor said, “We would play with that Barbie together and I’d heartbreakingly watch her pretend to take the doll to the hospital for chemo(化疗), or place its long wig on top of its head and tell the doll ‘It’s time to be beautiful again.’”
Bald Barbie was super brave and went on awesome adventures after chemo. Sometimes she felt sick and needed to sleep, but would feel much better after a rest. Bald Barbie always beat the cancer and went on to live a long and happy life with her family. That Barbie became so much more than a plastic doll — she was a means of communication and a coping mechanism during an extremely distressing time for little families.
24. Why did Handler create Barbie
A. To make a hit in the retail market. B. To appeal to girls with her diverse outfits.
C. To do a project on women’s career choices. D. To inspire girls to make choices as they wish.
25. How might Michelle feel when watching her daughter with Brave Barbie
A. Sad yet comforted. B. Envious yet proud.
C. Overwhelmed and ashamed. D. Heartbroken and regretful.
26. What does Brave Barbie mean to Michelle’s family
A. A reliable emotional support. B. A glue for broken relationships.
C. An effective practical treatment. D. A secret medium of negotiation.
27. Where is the text probably taken from
A. A medical journal. B. A charity brochure.
C. A financial report. D. A story collection.
