（2024上·吉林长春·高三东北师大附中期末）Mary Dickins had been a member of the audience at poetry nights before and knew “the poetry clap”. She made a polite tapping of fingers. But when she made her debut (首次演出) as a performer at the age of 62 at the legendary Bang Said the Gun night in south London, she said, “It was so wild — like nothing I had ever seen before.” The audience stamped their feet and shook shakers. “It felt transformative. I thought, ‘I’ve got to have more of this,’ ” Dickins said. Becoming a performance poet has given her a place on a stage of her own making.
All her life she has written, mostly without being seen or heard. Her mother died when she was nine, and, after she went into a care home at 13, Dickins’ writing stayed in notebooks. Really, she says, a lot of her adult life has been about getting over childhood shyness. At university — she studied education — she met her husband of 40 years, but in three years of seminars she did not say a word. Some of this results from her years at the children’s home. She says, “It gave me a sense of what it’s like to be excluded. I never fitted in anywhere.”
After she graduated, she discovered that she loved working with people with learning disabilities. She became an expert in inclusive education. “That was my niche (称心的职业),” she says. She published books and returned to the University of North London as a senior lecturer in early childhood studies.
Dickins now sees that in adulthood she has been giving herself permission to be silly. “The sillier I allow myself to be, the better the writing is,” she says. Her observations are humorous.
“Putting things into words and giving shape to your emotions is an important part of coming to terms with the things that happen in life,” she says.
Does she still feel like an outsider
“I think I’ve made it into a virtue. I celebrate the fact that I don’t fit into a box. Finally! You have to wait till you’re 62 to feel confident!” she says. “But I have a sense of who I am and I'm proud of it. I wouldn’t be anyone else now — and it took me a long time to say that.”
1. How did Dickins feel about her debut
A. Calm. B. Awkward. C. Stressed. D. Encouraged.
2. What led to Dickins’ lack of a sense of belonging
A. Her immature writing style. B. Her experience at the care home.
C. Her struggle with her university studies. D. Her difficult relationship with her husband.
3. How does writing benefit Dickins
A. It makes her land a good job.
B. It sharpens her sense of humor.
C. It enables her to get on well with her life.
D. It helps her overcome her learning disabilities.
4. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. Mary Dickins’ New Start after 60
B. Mary Dickins’ First Performance
C. Mary Dickins’ Troubled Writing Career
D. Mary Dickins’ Impact on Performance Poets
【答案】1. D 2. B 3. C 4. A
【导语】这是一篇记叙文，文章讲述了Mary Dickins在60岁以后成为一名表演诗人并由此重获新生的故事。
1. 推理判断题。根据第一段的“she said, ‘It was so wild — like nothing I had ever seen before.’(她说：‘那是我从未见过的狂野。’)”和““It felt transformative. I thought, ‘I’ve got to have more of this,’ ” Dickins said. Becoming a performance poet has given her a place on a stage of her own making.(“我觉得这是一种变革。我想，‘我得多点这样的表演，’” Dickins说。成为一名表演诗人让她在自己创造的舞台上占据了一席之地)”可知，Dickins首次作为表演者登台时观众的反应很疯狂，这种体验是她从未经历过的，但她很喜欢，成为表演诗人让Dickins在舞台上有了自己的一席之地。由此推知，当Dickins第一次上台表演诗歌后，观众的反应使她大受鼓舞，故选D。
2. 细节理解题。根据第二段的“but in three years of seminars she did not say a word. Some of this results from her years at the children’s home. She says, ‘It gave me a sense of what it’s like to be excluded. I never fitted in anywhere.’(但在三年的研讨会上，她一句话也没说。其中一些是她在儿童之家的岁月造成的。她说：‘这让我感受到了被排斥的感觉。我从来没有适应过任何地方。’)”可知，Dickins在儿童之家生活多年的经历让她觉得自己被排斥在外，在任何地方都格格不入，很没有归属感，故选B。
3. 推理判断题。根据倒数第三段的“‘Putting things into words and giving shape to your emotions is an important part of coming to terms with the things that happen in life,’ she says.(‘把事情用语言表达出来，让你的情绪具体化，这是接受生活中发生的事情的重要组成部分。’她说)”可推知，写作使她更好地接纳生活中发生的一切，让她与自己的生活讲和，故选C。
4. 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“she said, ‘It was so wild — like nothing I had ever seen before.’ The audience stamped their feet and shook shakers.(她说：‘那是我从未见过的狂野。’观众们跺着脚，晃动着摇动器)”对Dickins在62岁时首次登台演出的描写，以及最后一段“Finally! You have to wait till you’re 62 to feel confident!’ she says. ‘But I have a sense of who I am and I’m proud of it. I wouldn't be anyone else now — and it took me a long time to say that.’(终于！你得等到62岁才会有自信！她说。‘但我知道我是谁，我为此感到自豪。现在的我不会是别人——我花了很长时间才说出这句话。’)”她提到自己通过写作和表演克服害羞、找到自信可知，本文主要讲述了Mary Dickins在60岁以后成为一名表演诗人并由此重获新生的故事。由此可知，A项“Mary Dickins在60岁后的新开始”为最佳标题，故选A。
（2024上·河南南阳·高三统考期末）Fooling their parents about school was so simple; Robert and Anthony Duran made it a habit.
The twins played hooky from their high school—spending their days playing basketball and listening to music—for two entire years, skipping their freshman and sophomore years. But their truancy (旷课) was discovered when the boys’ father called their high school earlier this month to request the report cards that his sons had repeatedly “forgotten”. “Believe me, I was very upset with them—with myself mostly,” Armando Duran told a local newspaper after school officials alerted him to his sons’ absenteeism.
District policy considers students who are absent more than 50 days to be dropouts. So how to help teenagers facing the problem Here is the solution. They can enroll in an accelerated career academy to make up their missed credits and plan to graduate a year behind their classmates. Imagine learning maths by calculating how much bears eat each day or by studying the habits of birds in an aviary (鸟舍).
About 100 students will have such opportunities when the school district—in collaboration with the local park service—opens a middle school at the zoo in the city’s 430-acre park. A school building near a park entrance will be used as a central meeting place, but the park grounds are intended to be the real classroom, school officials said. Students can wear zoo uniforms and perform certain tasks during the day, such as feeding the animals.
“The idea is to use the park campus as the school, where kids are likely to get more interested in learning and tend to develop their comprehensive and practical skills beyond textbooks.” said Arthur, the person in charge of the 23,000-student school district. Mr. Zarrella, a teacher in the community, said he is expecting science classes in the park’s greenhouses and history lessons in the park’s museum. “It’s a beautiful place,” he said. “I’ve always felt it has the potential for being an exciting place for kids to learn.”
5. What do the underlined words “played hooky” in paragraph 2mean
A. Fooled parents. B. Skipped classes.
C. Listened to music. D. Played hide and seek.
6. How do the boys make up for their academic study
A. By cleaning up the local park.
B. By calculating the number of bears.
C. By earning credit s after graduation.
D. By accomplishing some tasks at the zoo.
7. What can we know about the middle school at the zoo
A. No school building can be seen there.
B. Students attended class mainly indoors.
C. Half of the local students have access to it.
D. It runs jointly by the school and the local park.
8. What might be the best title of the text
A. No Absenteeism, Full Credits.
B. Park Campus beyond the Classroom.
C. Zoo Learning, Disciplined Kids.
D. Science Class in the Zoo
【答案】5. B 6. D 7. D 8. B
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了Robert和Anthony Duran高一、高二经常逃课，为了解决学生辍学的问题，学区将与当地公园管理局合作，在一座占地430英亩的公园的动物园里开设一所中学。在那里孩子们可能会对学习更感兴趣，并倾向于发展他们在课本之外的综合和实用技能。
5. 词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“spending their days playing basketball and listening to music—for two entire years, skipping their freshman and sophomore years(他们整天打篮球，听音乐——整整两年，跳过了高一和高二)”可知，两个男孩在高一、高二时逃课，成天打篮球、听音乐，故划线词意思是“逃课”。故选B。
6. 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Imagine learning maths by calculating how much bears eat each day or by studying the habits of birds in an aviary (鸟舍).(想象一下，通过计算熊每天吃多少来学习数学，或者通过研究鸟舍里鸟类的习性来学习数学)”以及第四段中“Students can wear zoo uniforms and perform certain tasks during the day, such as feeding the animals.(学生们可以穿动物园制服，白天做一些特定的工作，比如喂动物)”可知，学生通过在动物园里完成一些任务来弥补他们的学业，故选D。
7. 细节理解题。根据第四段“About 100 students will have such opportunities when the school district—in collaboration with the local park service—opens a middle school at the zoo in the city’s 430-acre park.(大约100名学生将有这样的机会，届时该学区将与当地公园管理局合作，在这座占地430英亩的公园的动物园里开设一所中学)”可知，学校与当地的公园合作建立了动物园学校，故选D。

Mr. Zarrella, a teacher in the community, said he is expecting science classes in the park’s greenhouses and history lessons in the park’s museum.(“我们的想法是把公园校园当作学校，在那里孩子们可能会对学习更感兴趣，并倾向于发展他们在课本之外的综合和实用技能。”阿瑟说，他是这个拥有23000名学生的学区的负责人。扎雷拉是社区的一名教师，他说，他预计公园的温室里将开设科学课，公园的博物馆里将开设历史课)”结合文章讲述了Robert和Anthony Duran高一、高二经常逃课，为了解决学生辍学的问题，学区将与当地公园管理局合作，在一座占地430英亩的公园的动物园里开设一所中学。在那里孩子们可能会对学习更感兴趣，并倾向于发展他们在课本之外的综合和实用技能。可知，本文最佳题目为B“教室外的公园校园”。故选B。

（2024上·河南·高三校联考期末）“Will you go on this ride with me ”my friend’s eleven-year-old daughter Jenny asked. I could have made up an excuse for not wanting to have a go. But earlier that morning, I was ready to push myself out of my comfort zone. Jenny stared at the ride, eager to experience the same excitement as the brave group of riders in front of us. I couldn’t say no.
After climbing into our seats, an attendant reached up, pulled down the bar, and locked it in place. The ride lifted us slowly, then turned us over like the blueberry pancakes I had eaten three hours earlier, and hoped to keep in their proper place. As I stared at the concrete directly below us, I had a sudden feeling of great fear. I wondered if I had replacement coverage for the phone that I was sure would slip out of my pocket and break into a million tiny pieces. I wondered when my new health insurance would kick in.
The ride touched down after twisting and turning our bodies. My friend was waiting for us at the exit. “How was it ” she asked. “Fine. No big deal,” I said, even though my head was spinning(旋转)like one of the other annoying machines dotting the midway.
Jenny walked ahead of us and convinced me to keep taking chances and sample more rides.
“Oh, look at the pirate ship(海盗船)!” she said. “That looks like a calm ride.”
“Let’s go, Auntie!” she said as she rushed to join others in line.
I followed her, confident the ride would be uneventful. When I reached the bottom, I tapped out like a WWF wrestler admitting defeat. Although my body was shaking and my head was still spinning, I felt exhilarated just like I was on cloud nine. That morning, I had set a goal, taken my first step to reach it, and felt the joy of achievement.
Each time you try something for the first time, you will grow—a little piece of the fear of the unknown is removed and replaced with a sense of satisfaction.

B. The curiosity about the unknown.

D. The eagerness to experience something exciting.
10. What happened to the author when she was in the high sky

9. 细节理解题。根据第一段“Jenny stared at the ride, eager to experience the same excitement as the brave group of riders in front of us. I couldn’t say no.(珍妮盯着过山车，渴望体验和我们前面那群勇敢的骑手一样的兴奋。我无法拒绝)”可知，Jenny渴望的眼神让作者无法拒绝，最后决定试一试。故选A。
10. 细节理解题。根据第二段“As I stared at the concrete directly below us, I had a sudden feeling of great fear.(当我盯着我们正下方的水泥地时，我突然感到非常害怕)”可知，当作者盯着她们正下方的水泥地时，她突然感到一种极大的恐惧，即她陷入了恐慌。故选B。
11. 词义猜测题。根据画线词上文“Although my body was shaking and my head was still spinning”中Although表示转折，结合画线词后的“just like I was on cloud nine”可知，画线词所在句指的是“虽然我的身体还在颤抖，头还在旋转，但我感觉很兴奋，就像在九霄云外一样。”由此可知，画线词意为“兴奋的”。故选B。
12. 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Each time you try something for the first time, you will grow—a little piece of the fear of the unknown is removed and replaced with a sense of satisfaction.(每次你第一次尝试某件事，你都会成长——对未知的一点点恐惧会被消除，取而代之的是一种满足感)”以及通读全文可知，文章主要讲述了作者走出了自己的舒适区, 和朋友的女儿一起体验了刺激的游乐设施，从开始的恐惧感到后来的兴奋感让作者认识到每当第一次尝试某件事情时，对未知的恐惧会一点点消除，取而代之的是一种满足感。由此可推断出，文章想表达的是走出舒适区是值得的。故选D。
（2024·山东潍坊·昌乐二中校考模拟预测）Michael and his wife, new residents in a San Francisco apartment, learned about their neighbor Jeff Dunan’s volunteer work for Bangladesh Relief, an organization that provides food, clothing and essential supplies for disadvantaged people in northern Bangladesh. Inspired, Michael donated $150 to Dunan’s GoFundMe campaign. However, a credit card notification alerted him to an unintended $15,041 charge.
When he saw the five-figure number, he was confused. Soon, it all made sense. Michael’s credit card number started with four and one. Clearly, he accidentally began typing his credit card information while his cursor (光标) was still in the donation box.
Michael planned to call Dunan to explain, but before he had the chance to do that, he started receiving Facebook messages from Shohag Chandra, the charity’s Bangladesh-based program manager, thanking him for his generous donation. After he looked through the photos of people holding thank-you signs that read his name, Michael’s heart sank. He felt terrible that he had to withdraw his handsome donation. Once his original contribution was refunded, he decided to donate $1,500.
Although Michael had told his family and friends about the tale, he decided to share it publicly on social media, after Dunan told him the organization was desperately in need of funds. “The least I could do was take the time to post this story online and see if I could inspire other people to donate to the cause,” Michael said.
Little did he know, though, that the story would be seen far and wide, ending up raising more than $120,000 for Bangladesh Relief in the span of only a few weeks—about eight times Michael’s mistaken donation. According to Dunan, more than 3,700 people have contributed because of Michael’s post. Michael has been stunned (震惊) by the ongoing outpouring of support. “Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine this reaction,” he said. “People can be amazing when they come together for something like this.”
13. How did Michael make the large donation
A. He input an incorrect amount. B. He encountered a system error.
C. He was greatly inspired by Dunan. D. He entered wrong credit card details.
14. Why did Michael’s heart sink according to Paragraph 3
A. He saw people in despair. B. He failed to offer enough money.
C. He didn’t receive the full refund. D. He realized the scale of his mistake.
15. What motivated Michael to share the story on social media
A. Dunan’s request for publicity. B. A desire for personal recognition.
C. The organization’s urgent need for funds. D. Pressure from his family and friends.
16. What message does the story convey
A. Actions speak louder than words. B. Many hands make light work.
C. Always prepare for a rainy day. D. A good beginning is half of victory.
【答案】13. A 14. D 15. C 16. B
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要叙述了主人公Michael输错捐款金额后将故事分享到网上，结果吸引了更多人关注孟加拉国的灾情，募集到了更多的资金。
13. 细节理解题。根据第二段“Michael’s credit card number started with four and one. Clearly, he accidentally began typing his credit card information while his cursor (光标) was still in the donation box. (迈克尔的信用卡号码是以4加1开头的。很明显，当他的光标还在捐款箱里时，他不小心开始输入他的信用卡信息。)”可知，迈克尔捐了一大笔钱，因为他输入的金额不正确。故选A。
14. 推理判断题。根据第三段“Michael planned to call Dunan to explain, but before he had the chance to do that, he started receiving Facebook messages from Shohag Chandra, the charity’s Bangladesh-based program manager, thanking him’ for his generous donation.

(迈克尔计划打电话给杜南解释，但在他有机会这么做之前，他开始收到慈善机构孟加拉国项目经理肖哈格 钱德拉发来的脸书信息，感谢他的慷慨捐赠。当他看完那些举着写有他名字的感谢牌的人的照片后，迈克尔的心沉了下去。他不得不收回他的大笔捐款，这让他感到很难过。一旦他的原始捐款被退还，他决定捐赠1500美元。)” 可知，此时他认识到自己的大笔捐款产生了很大的影响，所以开始后悔自己申请退款的举动。故选D。
15. 细节理解题。根据第四段“Although Michael had told his family and friends about the tale, he decided to share it publicly on social media, after Dunan told him the organization was desperately in need of funds. (虽然迈克尔已经告诉了他的家人和朋友这个故事，但在杜南告诉他该组织急需资金后，他决定在社交媒体上公开分享。)”可知，迈克尔是在杜南告诉了他这个团体急需资金之后决定在网上分享这件事的。故选C。
16. 推理判断题。通读全文，并结合最后一段的“Little did he know, though, that the story would be seen far and wide, ending up raising more than $120,000 for Bangladesh Relief in the span of only a few weeks—about eight times Michael’s mistaken donation. According to Dunan, more than 3,700 people have contributed because of Michael’s post. Michael has been stunned ( 震惊) by the ongoing outpouring of support. “Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine this reaction,” he said. “People can be amazing when they come together for something like this.”(然而，他并不知道，这个故事会被广泛传播，最终在短短几周内为孟加拉国救济组织筹集了12万多美元——大约是迈克尔错误捐款的8倍。据杜南说，有超过3700人因为迈克尔的帖子而捐款。迈克尔被源源不断的支持惊呆了:“我做梦也没想到会有这样的反应，”他说。“当人们聚在一起做这样的事情时，他们会很了不起。”) ”可知，文章主要叙述了Michael为什么一开始决定捐款、捐款金额有误的原因以及后续如何吸引了更多人捐款的故事。故事始于Michael一个人的善意，结尾时3700多人都加入了捐款活动，短时间内就筹集到了大笔资金。因此，B项“众人拾柴火焰高”正确。A. Actions speak louder than words.(行动胜于言语)；B. Many hands make light work. (众人拾柴火焰高)；C. Always prepare for a rainy day. (未雨绸缪)；D.A good beginning is half of victory. (良好的开端是成功的一半)。故选B。

（2024上·山东泰安·高一统考期末）Recently an old friend reached out to me to ask about the success I’ve had in my life (or at least what looks like success on social media XD) and how I achieved it. He has similar goals as me: get in shape, get into music more seriously, and be fluent in Japanese.
Though I haven’t entirely reached my long-term goals yet in any of these 3 ways, he’s seen that I’ve made some progress on my journey to achieving these goals and wanted my advice.
We had a nice hour and a half chat on the phone about this and it seemed like he was pretty motivated by the end of the chat. A week went by and he told me that he signed up for a personal fitness trainer, was studying music theory, and sent me clips of him studying Japanese. He’s posting regularly on social media about all the progress he’s making. He’s motivated and doing great!
At last I’ll have to remind him that progress isn’t linear (线性的) and that he’ll finally meet with some challenges in the road, but I’m letting him enjoy the present progress in the meantime and will help him tackle them when that time comes.
I’m grateful for him giving me the opportunity to serve him and give him advice, and I’m grateful to see that he’s investing the time and money to promote his life. He even posted recently about how grateful he is with all the recent changes in his life.
Even if you’re still not where you want to be, there are a lot of people out there who want what you have and who are impressed with how far you’ve come. It’s extremely joyful to be aware how far you’ve come, be proud of yourself, and recognize how much you can help others achieve the same.
17. Why did the author’s friend contact him
A. To thank him for the advice on success.
B. To consult him about some proposals.
C. To require him to share his success on XD.
D. To ask for advice on how to set goals to achieve.
18. What does the underlined word “tackle” in Paragraph 4 probably mean
A. get over B. apply for C. focus on D. relate to
19. Which of the following can best describe the author’s friend
A. Anxious and outgoing. B. Responsible and wise.
C. Purposeful and active. D. Motivated and humorous.
20. What does the author mainly express in the last paragraph
A. You should make use of your advantages.
B. You should take pride in what others achieve.
C. You’ve come a lot further than you realize.
D. You should turn to others when you feel confused.
【答案】17. B 18. A 19. C 20. C
【导语】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者的老朋友联系他，向他寻求如何获得现有成就的建议，虽然作者认为自己还远没有达成既定的长期目标，但是作者的建议依然给了朋友积极的影响，这让作者非常欣慰，也让作者明白即使你还没有达到自己的目标，但你仍然已经比你以为的走得更远。
17. 细节理解题。根据第一段“Recently an old friend reached out to me to ask about the success I’ve had in my life (or at least what looks like success on social media XD) and how I achieved it. He has similar goals as me: get in shape, get into music more seriously, and be fluent in Japanese.(最近，一位老朋友找到我，问我在生活中取得的成功（或者至少在社交媒体XD上看起来是成功的）以及我是如何取得成功的。他和我有相似的目标：保持身材，更认真地接触音乐，流利地说日语。)”和第二段“Though I haven’t entirely reached my long-term goals yet in any of these 3 ways, he’s seen that I’ve made some progress on my journey to achieving these goals and wanted my advice.(虽然我还没有完全达到我的长期目标，但他看到我在实现这些目标的过程中取得了一些进步，并想要我的建议。)”可知，作者的朋友联系他是为了向他寻求建议。故选B。
18. 词句猜测题。根据第四段中的“he’ll finally meet with some challenges in the road(他最终会在路上遇到一些挑战)”和“when that time comes(当那个时刻到来的时候)”可知，此处是指帮助他克服遇到的挑战，所以tackle意为“克服”。故选A。
19. 推理判断题。根据第一段最后一句“He has similar goals as me: get in shape, get into music more seriously, and be fluent in Japanese.(他和我有相似的目标：保持身材，更认真地接触音乐，流利地说日语。)”和第三段最后三句“A week went by and he told me that he signed up for a personal fitness trainer, was studying music theory, and sent me clips of him studying Japanese. He’s posting regularly on social media about all the progress he’s making. He’s motivated and doing great!(一个星期过去了，他告诉我，他报名了一个私教课，正在学习音乐理论，并给我发了他学习日语的片段。他定期在社交媒体上发布他取得的所有进展。他很有动力，做得很好！)”可知，作者的朋友是一个目标明确、积极主动的人。故选C。
20. 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Even if you’re still not where you want to be, there are a lot of people out there who want what you have and who are impressed with how far you’ve come. It’s extremely joyful to be aware how far you’ve come, be proud of yourself, and recognize how much you can help others achieve the same.(即使你还没有达到你的目标，也有很多人想要你所拥有的，他们对你所取得的成就印象深刻。意识到自己已经走了多远，为自己感到骄傲，并意识到自己可以帮助别人取得同样的成就，这是一件非常快乐的事。)”可知，最后一段中作者主要是讲你远比你意识到的走得更远。故选C。
（2022上·黑龙江绥化·高二校考期中）My father used to say to me “Have you checked the oil in the car”, which is his version of “Hello, hope you are well”. Sometimes our phone calls would begin with an inquiry about the oil, with not a lot in between.
Fathers have a lot of love to give, but it’s often supplied through the medium of practical advice. The affectionate “You made my life better from the moment you were born” may be rarely heard, but there is the more common “I’ll hold the ladder while you get the leaves off the roof”.
Why can’t our fathers just say “I love you” or “It’s great to see you” The point is: That’s exactly what we are saying. You just have to translate from the language that is Fatherlish. Listen closely enough and “I love you” can be heard in the lengthier “I could come around Saturday and replace the silicon seal around the base of your toilet because I reckon that thing is getting really smelly”.
When I was 17, I went on my first road trip. My father stood on the corner in the predawn of a cold morning to bid us farewell. “Highways are dangerous,” he said, “so don’t try overtaking anything faster than a horse and buggy. And take a break every two hours. And every time you stop for gas, you really should check the oil.” At the time we thought his speech was funny and would chant “horse-and-buggy” every time I floored the accelerator.
Dad’s long gone now. But after all these years, I realize that had I owned a copy of the Fatherlish-to-English dictionary, I’d have understood that the speech my friend and I so casually mocked (嘲笑)was simply Dad’s attempt at affection.
21. According to the passage, how do fathers usually show their affection
A. By inquiring their kid’s car.
B. By doing rather than saying.
C. By offering helpful advice
D. By accompanying their kids.
22. Why does the author mention his first road trip
A. To exemplify the unique parental concern.
B. To provide some background knowledge.
C. To explain the reasons for his behavior.
D. To present his father’s funny speech.
23. What can we infer from the last paragraph
A. His father has gone somewhere faraway.
B. He regretted making fun of his father’s speech.
C. He owned a copy of the Fatherlish-to-English dictionary.
D. His father’s speech got across to him when he was 17.
24. Which words can best describe the author’s father
A. Caring and considerate. B. Devoted and generous
C. Talkative and humorous. D. Knowledgeable and diligent.
【答案】21. C 22. A 23. B 24. A
【导语】这是一篇夹叙夹议的文章。作者通过讲述父亲和自己的故事告诉读者父亲通常用实用的建议和实际行动来表达对儿女的爱。
21. 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Fathers have a lot of love to give, but it’s often supplied through the medium of practical advice.”（父亲有很多爱要给予，但通常是通过实用的建议来提供的。）可知，父亲是通过提供有益的建议来表达他们的感情的。故选C项。
22. 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Why can’t our fathers just say “I love you” or “It’s great to see you” The point is: That’s exactly what we are saying. You just have to translate from the language that is Fatherlish.”（为什么我们的父亲不能直接说“我爱你”或者“见到你真高兴”？关键是：这正是我们要说的。你只需要从父亲式的语言中进行领悟）可知，父亲们间接表达他们对孩子的关心；作者讲述自己17岁的那次旅行，就是为了表现父亲深沉的爱。由此可推知，作者提到他的第一次自驾游以此来证明父亲的独特关怀。故选A项。
23. 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Dad’s long gone now. But after all these years, I realize that had I owned a copy of the Fatherlish-to-English dictionary, I’d have understood that the speech my friend and I so casually mocked (嘲笑)was simply Dad’s attempt at affection.”（爸爸早就走了。但这么多年过去了，我意识到，如果我有一本《父亲语-英语词典》我就会明白，我和朋友如此随意嘲笑的那句话，只不过是爸爸表达爱意的一种方式）可知，从最后一段我们能推断出作者后悔拿他父亲的说的话开玩笑。故选B项。
24. 推理判断题。根据第一段中“My father used to say to me “ Have you checked the oil in the car”, which is his version of “Hello, hope you are well”.”（我的父亲曾经对我说“你检查过车里的油了吗”，这是他版本的“你好，希望你一切都好”。）以及第二段中““I’ll hold the ladder while you get the leaves off the roof””（“你把屋顶上的树叶弄下来，我来扶着梯子”。）等这些父亲的言语可知，父亲对作者很关心，并且考虑很周到。由此可推知，父亲是一个关心和体贴的人。故选A项。
（2023上·广东·高三校联考阶段练习）We just got back from a weeklong trip through New Mexico where we traveled through desert landscapes, hiked up mountains, and walked through dry creek beds. We experienced nature and wildlife that was vastly distinct from what I’ve seen before.
We’ve lived in Atlanta for 25 years so it was quite a change from our “city in a forest”. My husband and I were joined by our adult so n who now lives in San Diego and is a little more familiar with the west. We like to visit national parks and explore interesting ecosystems.
In New Mexico, everything seemed striking and amazing. Starting in Albuquerque, we took a tram up the Sandia Peak in the Sandia Mountains, where we had fantastic views as we watched parasailers float off into the unending sky. We then drove to Abiquiu, the town where artist Georgia O’Keeffe was so inspired. We stayed at a lovely home pretty much in the middle of nowhere. First, we noticed the breathtaking setting. Then we noticed the ants: billions of tiny ants were marching all over the outside of the property. They were carrying off a few of the native bees that had fallen to the ground near the house.
Once we were awakened in the middle of the night by howling (嚎叫) that was both strange and musical. We were told about the coyotes (郊狼) that share the area, so we weren’t surprised when we woke up the next morning to some pretty impressive pawprints right outside the back door. On our final morning hike before heading south in the state, we even spotted a large snake curled up on the path, enjoying the warm morning sun. We stayed far out of its way but certainly watched our steps a little more carefully.
We talked about sustainability throughout the trip. In the past several decades, there’s been so much noticeable change in our travel adventures. That will be great to keep the skies cleaner and save energy. And the coyotes and snakes can be left to dance and enjoy in peace.
25. What was the family’s first impression of the trip to New Mexico
A. It was familiar to them in many aspects.
B. It was dangerous but totally fresh for them.
C. It was simple and plain with little to explore.
D. It was quite different from their previous experiences.
26. Which of the following best describes the author’s experience in New Mexico
A. Romantic. B. Eventful. C. Conventional. D. Regretful.
27. What message does the author want to convey in the last paragraph
A. It’s beneficial for us to take an adventure tour.
B. It’s threatening to live with wildlife around.
C. It’s necessary to boost sustainable tourism.
D. It’s difficult to keep the balance of ecosystem.
28. Where is the text most probably taken from
A. A reflection in a travel journal.
B. An essay about the plans for traveling.
C. A guidebook to a new destination.
D. An introduction of a new type of traveling.
【答案】25. D 26. B 27. C 28. A
【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章主要讲述了作者在新墨西哥州旅行的经历和感悟。
25. 细节理解题。根据文章第一段中“We experienced nature and wildlife that was vastly distinct from what I’ve seen before.(我们体验了与我以前看到的截然不同的自然和野生动物)”可知，这家人对新墨西哥之行的第一印象是这与他们以前的经历大不相同。故选D。
26. 推理判断题。根据第三段“Starting in Albuquerque, we took a tram up the Sandia Peak in the Sandia Mountains, where we had fantastic views as we watched parasailers float off into the unending sky.(从阿尔伯克基出发，我们乘坐有轨电车登上桑迪亚山脉的桑迪亚峰，在那里我们看到了奇妙的景色，我们看着滑翔伞漂浮在无边无际的天空中)”，“Then we noticed the ants: billions of tiny ants were marching all over the outside of the property.(然后，我们注意到了蚂蚁：数十亿只小蚂蚁在院子外面到处移动)”，第四段“Once we were awakened in the middle of the night by howling (嚎叫) that was both strange and musical. We were told about the coyotes (郊狼) that share the area, so we weren’t surprised when we woke up the next morning to some pretty impressive pawprints right outside the back door.(有一次，我们在半夜被既奇怪又悦耳的嚎叫惊醒。我们被告知这片区域有郊狼，所以当我们第二天早上醒来时，发现后门外面有一些令人印象深刻的爪印时，我们并不感到惊讶)”和“On our final morning hike before heading south in the state, we even spotted a large snake curled up on the path, enjoying the warm morning sun.(在我们向南出发前的最后一次早晨徒步旅行中，我们甚至发现一条大蛇蜷缩在小路上，享受着早晨温暖的阳光)”可知，他们欣赏了美丽的风景，看到了蚂蚁结队，听到了郊狼的嚎叫还看到了蛇，这次旅行对他们来说那是经历很丰富的，eventful符合题意。故选B。
27. 推理判断题。根据最后一段“We talked about sustainability throughout the trip. In the past several decades, there’s been so much noticeable change in our travel adventures. That will be great to keep the skies cleaner and save energy. And the coyotes and snakes can be left to dance and enjoy in peace.(我们在旅途中一直在谈论可持续发展。在过去的几十年里，我们的旅行经历发生了如此明显的变化。这将是伟大的保持天空清洁和节约能源。郊狼和蛇就可以自由自在地跳舞和享受了)”可推知，最后一段作者想要传达的信息是促进旅游业的可持续发展是必要的。故选C。
28. 推理判断题。通读文章，文章第一句“We just got back from a weeklong trip through New Mexico where we traveled through desert landscapes, hiked up mountains, and walked through dry creek beds.(我们刚从新墨西哥州进行了为期一周的旅行回来，在那里我们穿越了沙漠，爬山，走过了干涸的河床)”写到自己刚从新墨西哥州旅游回来，中间写到了旅行经历，最后一段“We talked about sustainability throughout the trip. In the past several decades, there’s been so much noticeable change in our travel adventures. That will be great to keep the skies cleaner and save energy. And the coyotes and snakes can be left to dance and enjoy in peace.(我们在旅途中一直在谈论可持续发展。在过去的几十年里，我们的旅行经历发生了如此明显的变化。这将是伟大的保持天空清洁和节约能源。郊狼和蛇就可以自由自在地跳舞和享受了)”写到了旅行感悟。由此推知，文章最有可能来自旅游杂志的个人回忆和反思。故选A。2024届高考英语复习专题-阅读理解记叙文训练

（2024上·吉林长春·高三东北师大附中期末）Mary Dickins had been a member of the audience at poetry nights before and knew “the poetry clap”. She made a polite tapping of fingers. But when she made her debut (首次演出) as a performer at the age of 62 at the legendary Bang Said the Gun night in south London, she said, “It was so wild — like nothing I had ever seen before.” The audience stamped their feet and shook shakers. “It felt transformative. I thought, ‘I’ve got to have more of this,’ ” Dickins said. Becoming a performance poet has given her a place on a stage of her own making.
All her life she has written, mostly without being seen or heard. Her mother died when she was nine, and, after she went into a care home at 13, Dickins’ writing stayed in notebooks. Really, she says, a lot of her adult life has been about getting over childhood shyness. At university — she studied education — she met her husband of 40 years, but in three years of seminars she did not say a word. Some of this results from her years at the children’s home. She says, “It gave me a sense of what it’s like to be excluded. I never fitted in anywhere.”
After she graduated, she discovered that she loved working with people with learning disabilities. She became an expert in inclusive education. “That was my niche (称心的职业),” she says. She published books and returned to the University of North London as a senior lecturer in early childhood studies.
Dickins now sees that in adulthood she has been giving herself permission to be silly. “The sillier I allow myself to be, the better the writing is,” she says. Her observations are humorous.
“Putting things into words and giving shape to your emotions is an important part of coming to terms with the things that happen in life,” she says.
Does she still feel like an outsider
“I think I’ve made it into a virtue. I celebrate the fact that I don’t fit into a box. Finally! You have to wait till you’re 62 to feel confident!” she says. “But I have a sense of who I am and I'm proud of it. I wouldn’t be anyone else now — and it took me a long time to say that.”
1. How did Dickins feel about her debut
A. Calm. B. Awkward. C. Stressed. D. Encouraged.
2. What led to Dickins’ lack of a sense of belonging
A. Her immature writing style. B. Her experience at the care home.
C. Her struggle with her university studies. D. Her difficult relationship with her husband.
3. How does writing benefit Dickins
A. It makes her land a good job.
B. It sharpens her sense of humor.
C. It enables her to get on well with her life.
D. It helps her overcome her learning disabilities.
4. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. Mary Dickins’ New Start after 60
B. Mary Dickins’ First Performance
C. Mary Dickins’ Troubled Writing Career
D. Mary Dickins’ Impact on Performance Poets
（2024上·河南南阳·高三统考期末）Fooling their parents about school was so simple; Robert and Anthony Duran made it a habit.
The twins played hooky from their high school—spending their days playing basketball and listening to music—for two entire years, skipping their freshman and sophomore years. But their truancy (旷课) was discovered when the boys’ father called their high school earlier this month to request the report cards that his sons had repeatedly “forgotten”. “Believe me, I was very upset with them—with myself mostly,” Armando Duran told a local newspaper after school officials alerted him to his sons’ absenteeism.
District policy considers students who are absent more than 50 days to be dropouts. So how to help teenagers facing the problem Here is the solution. They can enroll in an accelerated career academy to make up their missed credits and plan to graduate a year behind their classmates. Imagine learning maths by calculating how much bears eat each day or by studying the habits of birds in an aviary (鸟舍).
About 100 students will have such opportunities when the school district—in collaboration with the local park service—opens a middle school at the zoo in the city’s 430-acre park. A school building near a park entrance will be used as a central meeting place, but the park grounds are intended to be the real classroom, school officials said. Students can wear zoo uniforms and perform certain tasks during the day, such as feeding the animals.
“The idea is to use the park campus as the school, where kids are likely to get more interested in learning and tend to develop their comprehensive and practical skills beyond textbooks.” said Arthur, the person in charge of the 23,000-student school district. Mr. Zarrella, a teacher in the community, said he is expecting science classes in the park’s greenhouses and history lessons in the park’s museum. “It’s a beautiful place,” he said. “I’ve always felt it has the potential for being an exciting place for kids to learn.”

（2024上·河南·高三校联考期末）“Will you go on this ride with me ”my friend’s eleven-year-old daughter Jenny asked. I could have made up an excuse for not wanting to have a go. But earlier that morning, I was ready to push myself out of my comfort zone. Jenny stared at the ride, eager to experience the same excitement as the brave group of riders in front of us. I couldn’t say no.
After climbing into our seats, an attendant reached up, pulled down the bar, and locked it in place. The ride lifted us slowly, then turned us over like the blueberry pancakes I had eaten three hours earlier, and hoped to keep in their proper place. As I stared at the concrete directly below us, I had a sudden feeling of great fear. I wondered if I had replacement coverage for the phone that I was sure would slip out of my pocket and break into a million tiny pieces. I wondered when my new health insurance would kick in.
The ride touched down after twisting and turning our bodies. My friend was waiting for us at the exit. “How was it ” she asked. “Fine. No big deal,” I said, even though my head was spinning(旋转)like one of the other annoying machines dotting the midway.
Jenny walked ahead of us and convinced me to keep taking chances and sample more rides.
“Oh, look at the pirate ship(海盗船)!” she said. “That looks like a calm ride.”
“Let’s go, Auntie!” she said as she rushed to join others in line.
I followed her, confident the ride would be uneventful. When I reached the bottom, I tapped out like a WWF wrestler admitting defeat. Although my body was shaking and my head was still spinning, I felt exhilarated just like I was on cloud nine. That morning, I had set a goal, taken my first step to reach it, and felt the joy of achievement.
Each time you try something for the first time, you will grow—a little piece of the fear of the unknown is removed and replaced with a sense of satisfaction.

（2024·山东潍坊·昌乐二中校考模拟预测）Michael and his wife, new residents in a San Francisco apartment, learned about their neighbor Jeff Dunan’s volunteer work for Bangladesh Relief, an organization that provides food, clothing and essential supplies for disadvantaged people in northern Bangladesh. Inspired, Michael donated $150 to Dunan’s GoFundMe campaign. However, a credit card notification alerted him to an unintended $15,041 charge.
When he saw the five-figure number, he was confused. Soon, it all made sense. Michael’s credit card number started with four and one. Clearly, he accidentally began typing his credit card information while his cursor (光标) was still in the donation box.
Michael planned to call Dunan to explain, but before he had the chance to do that, he started receiving Facebook messages from Shohag Chandra, the charity’s Bangladesh-based program manager, thanking him for his generous donation. After he looked through the photos of people holding thank-you signs that read his name, Michael’s heart sank. He felt terrible that he had to withdraw his handsome donation. Once his original contribution was refunded, he decided to donate $1,500.
Although Michael had told his family and friends about the tale, he decided to share it publicly on social media, after Dunan told him the organization was desperately in need of funds. “The least I could do was take the time to post this story online and see if I could inspire other people to donate to the cause,” Michael said.
Little did he know, though, that the story would be seen far and wide, ending up raising more than $120,000 for Bangladesh Relief in the span of only a few weeks—about eight times Michael’s mistaken donation. According to Dunan, more than 3,700 people have contributed because of Michael’s post. Michael has been stunned (震惊) by the ongoing outpouring of support. “Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine this reaction,” he said. “People can be amazing when they come together for something like this.”
13. How did Michael make the large donation
A. He input an incorrect amount. B. He encountered a system error.
C. He was greatly inspired by Dunan. D. He entered wrong credit card details.

A. He saw people in despair. B. He failed to offer enough money.
C. He didn’t receive the full refund. D. He realized the scale of his mistake.
15. What motivated Michael to share the story on social media
A. Dunan’s request for publicity. B. A desire for personal recognition.
C. The organization’s urgent need for funds. D. Pressure from his family and friends.

A. Actions speak louder than words. B. Many hands make light work.

（2024上·山东泰安·高一统考期末）Recently an old friend reached out to me to ask about the success I’ve had in my life (or at least what looks like success on social media XD) and how I achieved it. He has similar goals as me: get in shape, get into music more seriously, and be fluent in Japanese.
Though I haven’t entirely reached my long-term goals yet in any of these 3 ways, he’s seen that I’ve made some progress on my journey to achieving these goals and wanted my advice.
We had a nice hour and a half chat on the phone about this and it seemed like he was pretty motivated by the end of the chat. A week went by and he told me that he signed up for a personal fitness trainer, was studying music theory, and sent me clips of him studying Japanese. He’s posting regularly on social media about all the progress he’s making. He’s motivated and doing great!
At last I’ll have to remind him that progress isn’t linear (线性的) and that he’ll finally meet with some challenges in the road, but I’m letting him enjoy the present progress in the meantime and will help him tackle them when that time comes.
I’m grateful for him giving me the opportunity to serve him and give him advice, and I’m grateful to see that he’s investing the time and money to promote his life. He even posted recently about how grateful he is with all the recent changes in his life.
Even if you’re still not where you want to be, there are a lot of people out there who want what you have and who are impressed with how far you’ve come. It’s extremely joyful to be aware how far you’ve come, be proud of yourself, and recognize how much you can help others achieve the same.

（2022上·黑龙江绥化·高二校考期中）My father used to say to me “Have you checked the oil in the car”, which is his version of “Hello, hope you are well”. Sometimes our phone calls would begin with an inquiry about the oil, with not a lot in between.
Fathers have a lot of love to give, but it’s often supplied through the medium of practical advice. The affectionate “You made my life better from the moment you were born” may be rarely heard, but there is the more common “I’ll hold the ladder while you get the leaves off the roof”.
Why can’t our fathers just say “I love you” or “It’s great to see you” The point is: That’s exactly what we are saying. You just have to translate from the language that is Fatherlish. Listen closely enough and “I love you” can be heard in the lengthier “I could come around Saturday and replace the silicon seal around the base of your toilet because I reckon that thing is getting really smelly”.
When I was 17, I went on my first road trip. My father stood on the corner in the predawn of a cold morning to bid us farewell. “Highways are dangerous,” he said, “so don’t try overtaking anything faster than a horse and buggy. And take a break every two hours. And every time you stop for gas, you really should check the oil.” At the time we thought his speech was funny and would chant “horse-and-buggy” every time I floored the accelerator.
Dad’s long gone now. But after all these years, I realize that had I owned a copy of the Fatherlish-to-English dictionary, I’d have understood that the speech my friend and I so casually mocked (嘲笑)was simply Dad’s attempt at affection.
21. According to the passage, how do fathers usually show their affection
A. By inquiring their kid’s car.
B. By doing rather than saying.
C. By offering helpful advice
D. By accompanying their kids.
22. Why does the author mention his first road trip
A. To exemplify the unique parental concern.
B. To provide some background knowledge.
C. To explain the reasons for his behavior.

A. His father has gone somewhere faraway.
B. He regretted making fun of his father’s speech.
C. He owned a copy of the Fatherlish-to-English dictionary.
D. His father’s speech got across to him when he was 17.
24. Which words can best describe the author’s father

C. Talkative and humorous. D. Knowledgeable and diligent.
（2023上·广东·高三校联考阶段练习）We just got back from a weeklong trip through New Mexico where we traveled through desert landscapes, hiked up mountains, and walked through dry creek beds. We experienced nature and wildlife that was vastly distinct from what I’ve seen before.
We’ve lived in Atlanta for 25 years so it was quite a change from our “city in a forest”. My husband and I were joined by our adult so n who now lives in San Diego and is a little more familiar with the west. We like to visit national parks and explore interesting ecosystems.
In New Mexico, everything seemed striking and amazing. Starting in Albuquerque, we took a tram up the Sandia Peak in the Sandia Mountains, where we had fantastic views as we watched parasailers float off into the unending sky. We then drove to Abiquiu, the town where artist Georgia O’Keeffe was so inspired. We stayed at a lovely home pretty much in the middle of nowhere. First, we noticed the breathtaking setting. Then we noticed the ants: billions of tiny ants were marching all over the outside of the property. They were carrying off a few of the native bees that had fallen to the ground near the house.
Once we were awakened in the middle of the night by howling (嚎叫) that was both strange and musical. We were told about the coyotes (郊狼) that share the area, so we weren’t surprised when we woke up the next morning to some pretty impressive pawprints right outside the back door. On our final morning hike before heading south in the state, we even spotted a large snake curled up on the path, enjoying the warm morning sun. We stayed far out of its way but certainly watched our steps a little more carefully.
We talked about sustainability throughout the trip. In the past several decades, there’s been so much noticeable change in our travel adventures. That will be great to keep the skies cleaner and save energy. And the coyotes and snakes can be left to dance and enjoy in peace.
25. What was the family’s first impression of the trip to New Mexico
A. It was familiar to them in many aspects.
B. It was dangerous but totally fresh for them.
C. It was simple and plain with little to explore.
D. It was quite different from their previous experiences.
26. Which of the following best describes the author’s experience in New Mexico
A. Romantic. B. Eventful. C. Conventional. D. Regretful.
27. What message does the author want to convey in the last paragraph
A. It’s beneficial for us to take an adventure tour.
B. It’s threatening to live with wildlife around.
C. It’s necessary to boost sustainable tourism.
D. It’s difficult to keep the balance of ecosystem.
28. Where is the text most probably taken from
A. A reflection in a travel journal.
B. An essay about the plans for traveling.
C. A guidebook to a new destination.
D. An introduction of a new type of traveling.
