2024 年高考英语必考题型终极预测-阅读理解之记叙文
(2023·河南洛阳 · 宜阳县第一高级中学校考模拟预测)I arrived home from work, my mind racing. I was scheduled to perform an experiment using a pricey piece of equipment, but I had spent the whole day worrying about the experiment which was on the top of my agenda, and I amazingly longed to shut off my anxious thoughts. So after dinner, I made a cup of hot chocolate, stretched myself on my sofa, and opened a page. Almost instantly, my mind left behind the details of experimental design and stepped into a land of monsters, magic dust, and man-like bears
comprising a wonderful world distinct from my daily life. It was exactly what I needed.
Growing up, I was virtually never a big fan of novels. My classmates would be crazy about the latest Harry Potter book, while my copy sat collecting dust on a shelf. Instead, I would choose to read through the reference books related to my disciplines for better grades. After I started graduate school, extracurricular reading didn’t appeal to me at all but I spent most of my time on campus digesting research papers and textbooks and my mind couldn’t handle
processing fact-filled nonfiction books at home, too. So I knew that I needed to find a way to enjoy reading again.
To help me stick with it, I made a New Year’s resolution: I would read two fiction books per month for the entire year. The result was an almost instant appreciation of fiction, along with many unexpected results including
ones that have benefited my schoolwork.
What surprised me the most was how much I learned. Some of the best books I read were historical fictional stories happening in a realistic historical setting. I learned about life in different countries, as well as struggles people there faced during difficult periods in their histories. The books have helped me build sympathy and understanding, with an unexpected benefit: I’ve started to think more deeply about the diversity of issues in the scientific community
and could serve it, heart and soul.
1 .What did the author do to wipe out the anxiety
A .He drowned it in chocolate. B .He conducted an experiment.
C .He slept on the sofa leisurely. D .He escaped into a fantasy world.
2 .What does the author mean by the underlined part in paragraph 2
A .Reading novels was a waste of time.
B .Reading a good book was time well spent.
C .He was too busy to take good care of his books.
D .The Harry Potter book wasn’t as good as expected.
3 .How did the New Year ’s resolution benefit the author
A .More sympathy went out to him.
B .His moral values were strengthened.
C .He learned much about religious diversity.
D .He gained new insight into his academic discipline.
4 .What’s the best title of the text
A .Reading: A Lifelong Hobby B .The Power of Research Papers
C .Novels: Love at Second Sight D .The Benefits of History Reading
(2023·河南 · 襄城高中校联考三模) Glancing at the email’s sender, my heart raced. It starts off as you would expect: “Thank you for your interest”. It ends with “We are sorry to inform you” and my eyes misted over. I thought the rejection meant the end of the road for my science career. Only later would I see that instead, it provided an
exciting new direction to follow.
I always wanted to be a scientist. I started off as a biology student but quickly felt unwelcome among the premeds (医学预科生). I tried out physics but felt increasingly anxious until, thanks to a suggestion from my mom, I ended up in geography and fell in love. When I found that summer research program, I thought I had found the perfect topic
and a stepping stone to my dream academic career.
Then came that rejection email. Once again, I felt lost and hopeless. It seemed clear I’d never get to work in a
lab or become a scientist.
So I was shocked when, not long after the rejection email, the professor running the research program invited me to observe the work being done in her lab. I jumped at the chance, and a few weeks later I was equally shocked when she invited me to talk with her about potential projects I could pursue in her lab. What she proposed didn’t
seem as exciting as the original project I had applied for, but I felt I wasn’t in a position to be picky.
Soon I found myself cooperating with a robotics professor on techniques for collecting data from the desert
remotely. In the end, I finished my paper and had a new scientific interest to pursue.
At first, I decided I would be selective about the options I pursued. But through this experience, I’ve realized that sometimes I need to take the opportunities that are offered, even if they don’t sound exactly perfect, and make
the most of them. And I’ve also learned to look at each rejection as a redirection instead.
5 .What was the research program the author applied for about
A .Biology. B .Geography. C .Medicine. D .Physics.
6 .What greatly surprised the author
A .A chance to invite a professor. B .The rejection email
C .The professor’s suggestion. D .The success in his career.
7 .Which of the following can be used to describe the author
A .Flexible. B .Skillful. C .Talented. D .Picky.
8 .What can be the best title for the text
A .How I managed to make a right choice. B .How my professor offered help to me.
C .How I became a scientist working in a lab. D .How I learned to turn rejection into redirection.
(2022·河南 · 濮阳南乐一高校联考模拟预测)While still in high school, Ryan and his mom registered an open-house program at the Academy for Career Technology High School, where he encountered Jim, a teacher of
horticulture (园艺学) in the school.

in plant nurseries.
After high school, Ryan had to complete a community-based assessment (CBA) to ensure he had the soft skills to succeed in a job. Ryan wanted to work in the university’s rose gardens during the CBA, which were very valuable and important to the university community.

his previous experiences.

(2023·河南开封 · 统考三模 )It was 1994, and I was a 19-year-old student in my third year at Western University in London, Ontario. I had signed up for a course in the Department of English taught by one Donald S.
Hair.
A few weeks into the class, the professor administered our first test. I didn't think I had anything to worry
about—until he handed my exam back the following week with a 67 written on it in red ink.
Sixty-seven! I'd never received such a low mark. I was dependent on a scholarship, and any grade below 80 put my future in jeopardy. My seatmate's annoyed expression suggested her mark had been painful too. We angered silently: Professor Hair was an old weirdo (怪人)! How dare he ruin our GPAs What was the old boy's problem,
anyway
But the real problem was this: He was right. I knew it as soon as I'd cooled off and taken the time to digest his comments. My writing was careless, my understanding of key concepts shallow. Like many of my partners, I was used to earning top grades. Now, for the first time, a teacher had introduced an uncomfortable question. Were we
actually “earning” them
The next day,I went to his office. With burning cheeks, Itold him I knew I’d butchered the exam. To my childish surprise, he wasn’t a “weirdo” in the least. He was funny, warm and uncommonly patient. He assured me if I worked
hard, I'd achieve my potential in the course, and he’dbe available to help me.
I went away, read and read some more. The more I read, the more interesting his classes became, and soon, his complex, absorbing lectures were the highlight of my week. I spared no effort in that course. The grade I earned in his class was the lowest I’d received that year. But I had earned that grade. Nearly 30 years later, I'm still proud of
that.
13 .What does the underlined word “jeopardy” mean in paragraph 3
A .Advance. B .Demand. C .Trouble. D .Conclusion.
14 .Why does the author mention the seatmate in the text
A .To explain the test was too difficult.
B .To prove the professor's grading had problems.
C .To suggest she didn't work hard.
D .To show she was unfriendly in class.
15 .How does the author feel about the professor in the end
A .Disgusted. B .Cautious. C .Uninterested. D .Appreciative.
16 .What can be the best title for the text
A .You have to earn a grade instead of “get” it B .Be confident and not afraid of failure
C .You should treasure a good teacher D .Never rely on scholarships forever
(2023·河南 · 校联考模拟预测)Young boys often dream of superpower to solve their problems “If I could just lick my fingers, my homework would be done,” many have imagined. Jerry and Joe put their ideas down on
paper and created the world’s most popular superhero, Superman.
In 1931, the two became fast friends at Cleveland’s Glenville High School and ended up crating comics together. Joe was the artist and drew all the time, using bits of any kind of paper he could find. He hung out at newsstands (报摊) concentrating on magazines, especially amazing stories and then took up a pencil to recreate them at home. Jerry was the storyteller and the more ambitious of the two. He described how the creation of Superman came to him in the middle of a sleepless summer night, “I spring out of bed and write this down, and then I go back and think
some more for about two hours and get up again and write that down. The inspiration for Superman’s origin story
start taking shape, and the next morning, I run over to Joe’s place ...”
As is often the case, when we experience something painful in life, we deal with the feel-ing through creative expression. Jerry’s father owned a shop and died during a robbery. A young child might process that experience by wishing something could have prevented it. For Jerry, out came the Man of Steel, who was invulnerable (刀枪不入 的) and tended to protect innocent people. Creating storylines must have helped Jerry to deal with the pain. Superman
always wins. He stops trains and bad guys and cannot be killed.
The story of Superman has inspired kids for generations. It has calmed their fears and driven their dreams. Most
importantly, the Man of Steel has inspired us all to find our super-power and use it to help others.

A .They became popular superheroes. B .They used their imagination in comics.
C .They lived in their own imaginary world. D .They stood out for their rich experience.

A .A biography. B .A movie review. C .A science fiction. D .A history textbook.
(2023·四川南充 · 统考模拟预测)I fell in love with rhinos when I worked in a zoo in the 80s, and spent much
of the next 20 years as the keeper of the largest captive group of rare black rhinos.
There’s a popular misconception that rhinos are aggressive and stupid, but I discovered sensitive, affectionate animals. In the past few decades, their numbers have dropped dramatically. In recent years, I’ve helped look after rhinos being moved to reserves, so they can form new populations in countries that have few left. Last year, I helped on a project to fly five black rhinos to the Serengeti National Park. Once there, the animals had to be kept captive for a few weeks to adapt to the new environment, in which time they lived in “bomas” — wooden enclosures (围场)
with “bedrooms”, designed to create a calm space.
A couple of weeks before their planned release, the sky was heavy with smoke. Watching the flames rushing
through the bush toward the bomas, I froze. Terrified that it would catch fire, my instinct was to release the rhinos,
but they hadn’t yet been fitted with transmitter (发信器). IfI let them out into a bushfire and they were injured, we’d have great difficulty tracking them down. So I dashed back to the bomas and called the rhinos to the bedrooms. Sensing the fear in my voices, they moved without hesitation and remained astonishingly calm. It was crucial that
the rhinos didn’t panic — they can easily hurt each other if they do.
Meanwhile, the rangers managed to beat the closest flames away. At last, after half an hour, the wind changed direction and the fire began to recede. That we and the rhinos had escaped uninjured was a miracle. The teamwork of everybody there played a large part, and the rhinos were very much a part of that team. The relationships we’d built with them had proved crucial — had they or we panicked, all our work would have been in vain. Instead, two
weeks later, they were released into the wild, ready to found part of a new population in the Serengeti.
21 .What kind of animals does the author think rhinos are
A .Unfriendly. B .Cruel. C .Mild. D .Curious.
22 .Why did the black rhinos have to live in “bomas” for some time
A .To be trained to act less aggressively. B .To get ready for life in a new habitat.
C .To learn crucial survival skills in the wild. D .To form a closer relationship with humans.
23 .What was the author’s first reaction to the bushfire
A .She had to put out the nearest flames. B .She had to set the rhinos free immediately.
C .She had to plant transmitters in the rhinos. D .She had to lead the rhinos to a safer place.
24 .What is the last paragraph mainly about
A .Why protecting rhinos is important. B .How the rhinos were released to the wild.
C .What enabled the rhinos to remain calm.D .What helped the rhinos and people escape.
(2023·四川 · 树德中学校考三模)As a young girl growing up in France, Sarah Toumi dreamed of becoming a leader who could make the world a better place. Her passion to help others was awakened when, from the age of nine, she accompanied her Tunisian father to his birthplace in the east of the country during holidays. There she
organized homework clubs and activities for children.
Toumi witnessed first-hand the destructive effect of desertification (沙漠化). ”Within 10 years rich farmers became worse off, and in 10 years from now they will be poor. I wanted to stop the Sahara Desert in its tracks.“ A decrease in average rainfall and an increase in the severity of droughts have led to an estimated 75 per cent of
Tunisia’s agricultural lands being threatened by desertification.
Toumi recognized that farming practices needed to change. She is confident that small land areas can bring large returns if farmers are able to adapt by planting sustainable crops, using new technologies for water treatment and
focusing on natural products and fertilisers (肥料) rather than chemicals.
In 2012, Toumi continued her dream to fight the desert. She moved to Tunisia, and setup a programme named Acacias for All to put her sustainable farming philosophy into action. ”I want to show young people in rural areas that they can create opportunities where they are. Nobody is better able to understand the impact of desertification
and climate change than somebody who is living with no access to water.“
By September 2016, more than 130,000 acacia trees had been planted on 20 pilot farms, with farmers recording a 60 per cent survival rate. Toumi estimates that some 3 million acacia trees are needed to protect Tunisia’s farmland. She expects to plant 1 million trees by 2028. In the next couple of years, Toumi hopes to extend the programme to
Algeria and Morocco.
25 .How did Toumi’s holiday trips to Tunisia influence her
A .They fired her enthusiasm for helping others.
B .They helped her better understand her father.
C .They made her decide to leave the country.
D .They destroyed her dream of being a teacher.
26 .What is the main cause of the desertification of Tunisia’s farmland
A .Cold weather. B .Soil pollution.
C .Low rainfall. D .Forest damage.
27 .Why did Toumi set up Acacias for All in Tunisia
A .To create job opportunities for young people.
B .To facilitate the protection of their farmland.
C .To persuade the farmers not to use fertilizers.
D .To help the children obtain a basic education.
28 .Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A .Saving Water in Africa
B .Fighting Poverty in North Africa
C .Holding back the Sahara
D .Planting Trees in Tunisia
(2023·四川成都 · 树德中学校考模拟预测)The Forbidden City, widely regarded as one of the most popular destinations at home and abroad, houses amazing Chinese cultural and historical relics, for which the Forbidden City
is always well-known. But Masters in the Forbidden City does not just focus on the stories of the past.
Instead, the documentary movie, which came out in Chinese cinemas on Dec. 16, focuses on ordinary people—
the restorers of relics and antiquities.
The stories are told at a slow and relaxed pace, reflecting the restorers’ work. Restoration of cultural relics and antiques can be time-consuming, and sometimes boring. Yet these restorers’ patience and peace of mind are especially
precious in a society where everything is changing so fast.
“If you choose this job, you have to put up with hours of work sitting on a chair. You need to be quiet and get
used to being quiet,” says Wang Jin, an ancient clock repair expert.
A touching part of the documentary is the spirit of craftsmanship (工艺)in the restorers. “Years of humdrum work requires not only skill, but also faith and spirit,” China Daily commented, “Looking for preciseness and perfection, devoting yourself to work, patience, endurance, loneliness... All these qualities come from the craftsman
spirit.”
But unlike the popular idea of serious experts who sit around being serious, the documentary shows off the enthusiasm of the restorers. They play their guitars and make jokes about each other after a long day of restoration
work.
One scene that has been very popular with Internet users features a young female restorer riding a bicycle through the empty Forbidden City on a Monday. While she is doing this, a narrator says, “The last person to do this
was Puyi, the last emperor of the Qing Dynasty.”
Masters in the Forbidden City has proved wrong many people’s ideas about antique restorers, allowing them to realize that they are not old, dull professors, but people in their 40s, 30s and even 20s who can be quite pleasing to
the eye.
29 .According to the text, what’s the main purpose of the documentary Masters in the Forbidden City
A .To draw attention to Chinese antique restorers lives.
B .To display relics seldom seen by ordinary people.
C .To show people how antiques are restored.
D .To praise the craftsmanship of Chinese antique restorers.
30 .Which of the following statements is true

B .The inspiration of the documentary came out on Dec. 16.
C.Masters in the Forbidden shows the passion of the restorers.
D.Masters in the Forbidden involves the story of serious experts.
31 .According to Wang Jin, we can learn that .
A .he often gets tired with his work
B .antique restorers need to be patient and peaceful
C .there is no need to do restoration work fast
D .it takes years of hard work to adapt to antique restoration
32 .The bicycle-riding scene in the documentary is used to .
A .remind the audience of the last Qing emperor
B .show the strange hobbies of young antique restorers
C .encourage the young to consider a career in antique restoration in the future
D .show that the documentary breaks from the old, dull image of antique restorers
(2023· 四 川 成 都 · 统 考 模 拟 预 测 ) “Why ” It’s a simple question that people ask Angela Madeline
frequently. After all, she began a journey that very few people would ever attempt: walk around the world alone.
The thought of Madeline’s journey did not start from a place of loss or personal crisis. She said, “I was searching for a deeper interaction with nature and people.” Walking would minimize her carbon footprint, plus the slow pace
meant that she could fully immerse herself in nature, and gain insights into other cultures in a unique way.
She left her hometown of Bend, Oregon, on 2 May 2016 and headed into an adventure. Along the way, Madeline would suffer from heatstroke (中暑)in the Australian desert and hear gunshots while camping in Turkey. “Still,” she said, “I didn’t stop because I was more afraid of not following my heart than I was of losing everything I owned and
loved.”
Apart from that, her slow pace allowed her to be drawn deeply into other cultures. She wandered the tiny seaside villages along Italy Tyrrhenian Sea, enjoying the lively atmosphere. In Vietnam, she was invited and offered food by an elderly woman to rest in her wooden shack at the peak for the night. She chose an experience of uncertainty
and curiosity, in search of something she could never be certain to find: a sense of fulfillment and a deeper connection.
On 16 December 2022, Madeline’s pilgrimage (朝圣之旅)ended right where it started. For now, she’s working on a book, planning future journeys and creating more effective ways for women to find and express courage in their
lives.
Whether a walk leads halfway around the world or just down the road, Madeline has shown the true worth of
slowing down and giving more than we receive along the way.
33 .Why did Madeline decide to start her journey
A .To get closer to the world. B .To reduce carbon footprint.
C .To get rid of personal crisis. D .To slow down the pace of life.
34 .What can we know about Madeline during the journey
A .She was about to give up.
B .She was helped by Italian locals.
C .She experienced various cultures.
D .She enjoyed Australian coastal scenery.
35 .Which of the following words can best describe Madeline
A .Cautious and gentle. B .Tough and adventurous.
C .Ambitious and generous. D .Open-minded and humorous.
36 .What’s this text mainly about
A .A new way to slow down life.
B .A closer connection with the wild.
C .An unforgettable memory of a trip.
D .A woman walking around the world.
(2023·四川成都 · 川大附中校考模拟预测)My mother was never truly happy in Connecticut finding the winter bitter cold and the culture provincial ( 偏狭 的). Though she grew up in New Jersey, she moved to San Francisco in her early twenties, met and married my dad out there. After I was born, they decided to return east, closer
to their own parents. But she never let go of her love for the Bay Area.
California was always part of the conversation when I was a kid. I ate meals off a map-of-the-world placemat (餐垫), and Mom taught me to identify San Francisco before I learned where Hartford was. She told us stories of
perfection on a single city, fantasizing about retiring out west. My dad would play along, but his heart wasn’t in the
same place.
While my mother’s status in the nonprofit world advanced, her desire to move back to her favorite place grew strong. She applied for jobs in the Bay, underwent bicoastal Skype screenings, even traveled out for a couple of interviews on a whim (心血来潮). Sometimes her cover letters disappeared, other times she made it down to the final
two candidates. With each rejection, she promised to make her next job application even stronger.
This past May, I relocated from San Francisco to New York for a job. A few weeks later, Mom called me. Her pursuit had finally paid off. She’s been offered a vice president position at a public health nonprofit in Oakland. A
few weeks later, she packed up her baggage and left Connecticut for good.
Our lives are more semblable than ever these days. We’re both discovering our new homes, making friends. We’re looking for a good yoga studio to join, reading the same books and chatting about the plots by text message. I emailed her photos from my trip to Burning Man and she replied with stories about her new coworkers who go every
year. There’s even time for the occasional dating disaster.
Perhaps that’s the paradox ( 悖 论 ) of growing older. Things will always change, and they can change immediately—my mother is proof. But an individual’s own power to create change always stays the same. Everything
can change, and therefore nothing ever really changes.
Now when I’m out west for a visit, Mom meets me at a station with her big bag. We stop by the Grand Lake farmers market, picking out the freshest seasonal ingredients, before hiking up the hill to her new apartment. One of
these days, I’ll actually cook her dinner.

B .the mother-daughter feelings will stay the same forever
C .she has grown up during her family’s constant moves
D .her mother always wants to change her current situations
(2023·四川巴中 · 统考一模)French writer Annie Ernaux won the 2022 Nobel Prize in literature on Oct 6. She is the first French female to win the prize. In the words of the Nobel committee, Ernaux was given the award
“for the courage and amazing insight” of her writing.
Having spent over five decades as a writer, the 82-year-old winner has published more than 20 books to her
name, including Cleaned Out (1974), Shame (1997) and A Girl’s Story(2016).
Rather than consider herself a writer of fiction, Ernaux has used the term “an ethnologist (民族学家) of herself”
to describe herself.
Born in 1940 in a rural village in Normandy, France, Ernaux grew up in a working-class environment as her parents ran a combined grocery store and cafe. She worked as a teacher before becoming a full-time writer. Her “upbringing and experiences navigating adolescence and adulthood” inspire many of her works. For example, the book Shame explores the theme of childhood trauma (创伤) while A Girl’s Story follows a young woman’s coming
of age in the 1950s.
Though the matters Ernaux describes in her books are serious and even sometimes heavy, they are always written in plain language. Ernaux described her style as “flat writing” through which she aims to tell her stories objectively,
“unshaped by florid (过多修饰的) description or overwhelming emotions,” noted Fox News.
“She writes about things that no one else writes about, for instance her jealousy, her experiences as an abandoned lover and so forth. I mean, really hard experiences, “ Anders Olsson, chairman of the Nobel Committee for Literature, said after the award announcement in Stockholm. He added, “She gives words for these experiences that are very
simple and striking. They are short books, but they are really moving.”
41 .What can we learn about Annie Ernaux from the text
A .She was awarded for the bravery and observations shown in her writing.

C .She is the first French person to win the Nobel Prize.

(2023·四川成都 · 成都七中校考模拟预测) I never imagined that someone telling me I looked skinny would anger me. And yet, I was made very angry when a colleague pinched (捏) my waist and screamed, “Rosa, you’ve lost weight. You look great!” The truth is that I was tired and not taking care of myself. I decided to start a proper
weight-loss program.
The first to go would be road rage (路怒). I am in far less control of this weight than any other. Every time something gets in the way, I fly off the handle. I need to lose the road rage! No, no more speed. Instead, I now repeat the words, “I am not in a hurry.” This year, I will drive safely, allowing the “stupid” to happen all around me. From
that, I hope to gain patience.
Next is guilt. When guilt drives my conscience to do better, it’s functional. But when it presents itself as an internal dialogue that goes nowhere, it’s useless. This year, I want to stop feeling guilty for not keeping a cleaner house, for spending time away from my children to be with friends, for not attending every party because I’d rather be at home, or for watching TV when I should be reading. My image and performance are not at the back of anyone
else’s mind but my own. From this, I hope to gain freedom to be myself.
The last is fear. Fear has held me back. Fear of failure has prevented me from being a writer. Fear of embarrassment has prevented me from giving an opinion. Fear of being rejected has stopped me from aiming higher in my life. Fear of regret has led me into situations that made me uncomfortable. If I can lose any one of these fears,
I stand to gain experience.

(2023·江西 · 江西师大附中校考三模)Born in 1926, Princess Elizabeth Alexandra Mary was not originally chosen for the special position. However, that changed in 1936, when her father’sbrother Edward Ⅷ gave up being the king and her father, George Ⅵ, took his place as the king. Suddenly, the 10-year-old was the heiress(女继承人).
Elizabeth’s royal(王室的)duties didn’t stop her interest in technology. During WorldWar II, the princess wanted
her father to allow her to do something for her country. Her father finally agreed to let her volunteer for the British
Army, where she became a driver and trained in auto mechanics.
It was a pioneering move: Not only was she the first member of her family ever to serve in the military, but the sight of a woman taking apart engines and changing tires signalled a sea change in social and gender roles that would
continue throughout the future queen’s lifetime.
In 1952, Elizabeth became queen of her country upon her father’s death. Her rule was modern from the very start. The new queen’s birth had roughly happened at the same time as the development of television, and during planning for her coronation(加冕礼)she broke with tradition and allowed the BBC to broadcast the event over live
TV. It was the first coronation ever televised, and it literally created must-see TV.
Elizabeth came to power as the atomic age kicked into full swing, and she helped introduce the nation to those nuclear advances. In 1956, she opened the world’s first complete nuclear power station, Calder Hall. But the technology came with risk: The next year, a reactor at a nearby nuclear power plant, Windscale, caught fire, which
was Great Britain’s worst nuclear disaster.
The queen also launched live broadcasts of royal addresses and permitted royal use of the Internet. Besides, she was one of the first people to ride through the Channel Tunnel, the undersea railway linking Britain to the rest of
Europe.
53 .After World War Ⅱ broke out, how did Elizabeth support her country
A .By encouraging women to volunteer. B .By using her influence to stop the war.
C .By getting away from her royal duties. D .By joining the army to serve her country.
54 .What does the author think of Elizabeth’s move during World War Ⅱ
A .Normal. B .Significant. C .Unnecessary. D .Unreasonable.
55 .What does the queen’s decision about her coronation indicate
A .She didn’t really want to be queen.
B .She loved watching TV very much.
C .She liked adopting new technology.
D .She didn’t consider her coronation modern.
56 .What can we learn about Elizabeth in paragraph 5
A .She considered nuclear power important for her country.
B .She was satisfied with her country’s nuclear advances.
C .She didn’t show much interest in nuclear power.
D .She considered nuclear power dangerous.
(2023·江西 · 濂溪一中校联考模拟预测)My father was the kind of guy who could walk into a room full of strangers and leave with new best friends for life! He was a hard worker and was known as “Mr Fix-It” to everyone. He was also one of the most cheerful, affable (和葛可亲的) and gentle people you would ever meet, which made us,
his beloved daughters feel proud.
But when Dad was in his fifties, my family began to notice him struggling. His work and skills began to become worse and worse, and he became depressed and withdrawn. This was not the man I knew. At the age of fifty-eight,
Dad was diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer’s disease. As for our family, it was the worst.
Our first step was to attend a meeting hosted by the Alzheimer’s Association to learn more about the disease and programs that might help us. That meeting inspired me to start a Walk to End Alzheimer’s team. But I still
wanted to do more. In 2017, I became a board member of the Alzheimer’s Association Delaware Valley Chapter.
The loss from this disease is gradual. My father’s decline continued for several years. Losing my father more and more each day was leaving a big hole in my heart and my life. I decided to fill that hole with action to honor my
father.
That’s why I recently decided to leave a gift to the Alzheimer’s Association by naming it as a beneficiary of my retirement plan. My future gift will provide money to support research because I don’t want another person in my
family or someone in other families to have to suffer from Alzheimer’s disease.
I am so proud to be able to honor my father and other family members who lost their fights to Alzheimer’s in this way. My dad was an inspiration to me, and I hope, through my gift, I can inspire others to join in the fight to end
Alzheimer’s.
