(2024·河南模拟)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
The Carter Center said recently that only 13 human cases of Guinea worm disease were reported worldwide last year. That is a major drop from 3.5 million cases of infected people in 1986, in which year the Atlanta-based Carter Center joined the World Health Organization( WHO) in the fight against Guinea worm disease. The center said the remaining infection occurred in four countries in sub-Saharan Africa. Six human cases were reported in Chad, five in South Sudan, one in Ethiopia and one in the Central African Republic. And the Central African Republic case remains under investigation.
Guinea worm disease is a disease that affects poor communities in distant parts of Africa and Asia where people do not have safe water to drink. People who drink unclean water can get parasites(寄生虫) that can grow up to 1 meter. The worm grows in people for up to a year before painfully coming out, often through the feet or other sensitive parts of the body.
The WHO says there is neither a drug treatment for Guinea worm disease nor a vaccine to prevent it. But it can be prevented by training people to filter(过滤) and drink clean water.
Guinea worm disease could be the second human disease to be ended after smallpox, according to the Carter Center. Adam Weiss, a director of a program to fight against the disease, says that eradicating the disease finally could be difficult, for the populations where Guinea worm disease still exists often face insecurity, including conflict, which can prevent workers and volunteers from going house to house to offer support.
Weiss warns, "If support for these communities slows or stops, there's no question that you're going to see a sudden increase in Guinea worm." However, he adds, "We're continuing to make progress—even if it is not as fast as we all want it to be, that progress continues."
24.What do we know about Guinea worm disease from the text
A.It's still a big problem worldwide.
B.It was first found in the year 1986.
C.It has been well controlled in the past years.
D.It once existed in most countries worldwide.
25.What will happen after one is infected with Guinea worm disease
A.He can be in great pain within a few days.
B.He will end up becoming very sensitive.
C.He will mainly suffer stomachaches.
D.He may suffer a lot in the end.
26.How can Guinea worm disease be best handled
A.By having a vaccine to prevent it.
B.By ensuring drinking water is clean.
C.By receiving a good drug treatment.
D.By avoiding getting into unclean water.
27.What does the underlined word "eradicating" in Paragraph 4 mean
A.Completely ending. B.Carefully studying.
C.Exactly knowing. D.Suddenly changing.
(2024·重庆市模拟)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
Those who had the pleasure of watching Benny Goodman at work saw a rather ordinary-looking man in rimless glasses and a conservative business suit; but they also saw a human being who could play the clarinet(单簧管) like no one before or since. This made Benny Goodman a unique individual.
Other Americans who have stood out from the flock include Joe DiMaggio, Beverly Sill, Ernest Hemingway and Jonas Salk. They, like Benny Goodman, were recognized and honored for no other reason than excellence.
It is doing something better than other people that makes us unique. Yet a surprising number of people still see individuality as a surface thing. They wear garish clothes, dye their hair strange colors and decorate their skin with tattoos to make some kind of social statement. But an ordinary guy who has dyed his hair purple or orange is nothing more than the same person with a funny-looking head.
The whole purpose of individuality is excellence. Those who invent, who improvise(即兴发挥), who know more about a subject than other people do, and who take something that doesn't work and make it work––these people are the very soul of capitalism.
Charles Kettering didn't like the idea of cranking a car to make it start, so he invented the electric starter. Henry Ford figured out the assembly-line technique and made it possible to mass-produce automobiles, and Elisha Otis, inventor of the elevator, indirectly created the city sky-line. These people understood that individualism means working at the top of one's capacity.
The ones with the purple hair and the funky jewelry are just along for the ride, trying to be "different" and not knowing how to go about it.
The student who earns straight A's on his report card has grasped the idea and has found the real meaning of individuality. So has the youngster who has designed his own spaceship, who gives piano recitals, who paints pictures of the world around him.
Benny Goodman understood it too. This is why he was at his best, blowing his clarinet, in a blue suit and black shoes.
28.The author mentions the appearance of Benny Goodman to ____.
A.show what a talented musician should look like
B.introduce an important figure in the musical world
C.contrast with his talent in music performance
D.indicate that he can't stand out from the flock
29.The author would most probably agree that ____.
A.an individualist tends to seek difference both in character and appearance
B.the essence of individualism lies in pursuing excellence to the full
C.being different in appearance is the very first step to being individual
D.those who strive to win the recognition of others are real individualists
30.According to the passage, which individual's actions may not truly embody the essence of individualism
A.A scientist who conducts research solely advancing knowledge for the greater good rather than for personal recognition.
B.A social media influencer who conforms to popular opinions to maintain a large following.
C.An artist who creates unique works but fail to gain fame and recognition from others.
D.An entrepreneur who prioritizes ethical considerations over profit in his business practices.
31.For the main thread, the article is organized by way of ____.
A.specific to general B.cause and effect
C.examples and conclusion D.comparison and contrast
(2024·重庆市模拟)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
How many bosses could rely on their employees threatening to quit in mass if they were abruptly forced out Sam Altman received such a show of support from more than 700 staff after he was fired from Open AI that he was swiftly restored to his position by the board. But this level of loyalty is not typical and may not always be a good thing.
Management experts say staff who are loyal to their employer are inclined to invest more time and effort in their jobs, helping to create an engaged and higher performing workplace. In turn they receive pro notions and pay rises. They have a greater sense of belonging and potentially a longer career at the same organisation. But it is not all rosy. People who are too loyal are more likely to take actions that are deemed wrong to keep their jobs and protect their employer, according to a 2021 academic paper. They might overlook wrongdoing and be less likely to expose corruption. Loyalty is sometimes seen as such a force for good that it can be used to justify bad behavior.
Often companies and senior bosses are the real winner a of employee loyalty. Research led by Matthew Stanley at Duke University's Fuqua School of Business published this year, found that managers were more likely to exploit loyal individuals. Stanley recruited almost 1,400 managers to read about a fictional 29-year-old employee called John, who worked for a company that was trying to keep costs down. They had to decide how willing they would be to ask John to work longer hours and take on more work without more pay. Researchers created various situations including labelling John as loyal versus other traits such as honest and fair. Managers were more willing to ask loyal John to take on the burden of unpaid work.
However, Consultancy Gallup's latest state of the workplace report showed that half of the 122, 416 employees who took part in a global survey were looking out for new work. "You can't guarantee anyone will stick around these days," says a consultant who advises boards. This is particularly true of younger generations. They trust their bosses less and are not as patient when it comes to career progression, seeing little benefit in keeping their heads down and following orders if they do not see results quickly.
32.What does the author want to say by mentioning Sam Altman in Paragraph 1
A.Open AI's staff loyalty is quite high.
B.Staff loyalty's rosy side in the work.
C.Sam Altman could count on his employees.
D.This level of loyalty is not always good.
33.How did Matthew Stanley conduct his research!
A.Through global surveys concerning a fictional employee named John.
B.By creating different situations to ask John ta take on more unpaid work.
C.By asking managers to make decisions about work arrangements of John.
D.By recruiting managers to read fiction about work traits like loyal and honest.
34.What can you learn from the passage
A.Loyalty can be used by management to exploit employees.
B.Younger generations are more patient towards their employers.
C.Employees who are loyal are more likely to report wrongdoing.
D.Loyalty to an employer always leads to a positive work environment.
35.What can be a suitable title for the text
A.How Job Loyalty Affects the Work Environment
B.Why Staff Loyalty is Not Always a Good Thing
C.Are Loyal Employees More Likely to be Promoted
D.Does Work Loyalty Help Career Progress More Quickly

In Favour of Simple Writing
Do you edit text messages carefully before sending them If so, you may be the kind of person who takes pride in 41. even the simplest message. If you do not, you may see yourself as a go-getter, one who values excitement and speed over 42. : get it done decently now rather than perfectly later.
People are constantly receiving messages, from the mailbox to the inbox to the text-message alert. What to read, what to skim (略读) and what to ignore are decisions that nearly everyone has to make dozens of times a day. A new book titled All Readers are Busy Nowadaysmakes the argument for being the careful kind of 43. , even in informal lines. The authors also present well-established 44. that have long been prized in guides to writing.
Take "less is more". Most books on writing well advocate the advice to 45. needless words. The authors, however, have 46. the idea. In an email to thousands of school-board members asking them to take a survey, cutting the count from127 to 49 words almost 47. the response rate.
Keeping messages to a 48. idea—or as few as absolutely needed—helps ensure that they will be read, remembered and acted on. 49. the number of the available options has the same effect, too. A link in an email, 50. , attracted 50% more clicks when presented alone than when it was sent alongside a second additional link.
Syntax (句法) and 51. matter, too. It is more 52. to adopt short and active sentences, with common words familiar to everyone. From Facebook posts to online-travel reviews, even brief, informal pieces of writing that follow these rules get more likes and shares.
If everyone is a busy reader, everyone is a busy writer, too. That may make it tempting to sent as many messages as 53. as possible and hope for the best. But from essays to text messages organizing dinner plans, devoting time to the needs of readers has provable 54. . If you are so busy that you write an undisciplined message which readers scan, ignore and delete, then you might as well have not 55. it at all.
41.A.conveying B.understanding C.crafting D.sending
42.A.care B.quantity C.simplicity D.technology

It's a great pity that I had not put forth the amount of effort required. I had spent too much timed playing with my friends instead of improving myself. I had let down my teacher, who was the kindest, sweetest, and prettiest one I had ever known. She laughed often, and never threatened any of us, yet she was able to "read" the children, control the class, and teach effectively. Miss Pratt put a lot of herself into her work. Every day near the close of school, she would read to us, or even better, tell us stories about when she was a little girl. Most importantly, she made us feel that she cared about us and that we were important.
Because of a serious car accident when I was three and a half years old, I had a sear (伤疤) below my nose that was the result of a torn upper lip. Everything else had healed up without any after effects physically, but my emotions remained scarred. Meanwhile, having been called "Chief Running Nose" and "Scarface" by many children, my confidence had suffered. Although my parents and relatives referred to me as pretty, I did not see myself that way.
Focusing on my scar, I could not appreciate any redeeming features (可取之处). At the end of one school day, I remained in my classroom, waiting for the arrival of my mother, who was coming to take me to an appointment close to the school. Miss Pratt sat at her desk with a fellow teacher and chatted.
I glanced at the clock and realized it was time to get ready to leave. I put on my wool coat and hat. The teachers looked at my clothes and seemed to admire it. I was able to read their lips a little and my ears perked up to hear, "Who is she She is really cute." My teacher Miss Pratt answered, "I agree. Bernice is quite pretty."
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
"Pretty" caught my attention since it was almost my favorite word.
About two months later, the final exam result was announced and I got the first place.

Those who invent, who improvise(即兴发挥), who know more about a subject than other people do, and who take something that doesn't work and make it work—these people are the very soul of capitalism."个性的全部目的就是追求卓越。那些发明创造,即兴发挥,比别人更了解一个主题,并采取无效的东西,并使其发挥作用的人-这些人是资本主义的灵魂。可知,作者可能同意个人主义的本质在于追求卓越。故选B。
30.考查推理判断。根据第五段"Charles Kettering didn't like the idea of cranking a car to make it start, so he invented the electric starter. Henry Ford figured out the assembly-line technique and made it possible to mass-produce automobiles, and Elisha Otis, inventor of the elevator, indirectly created the city sky-line. These people understood that individualism means working at the top of one's capacity. "查尔斯·凯特林不喜欢用曲棍发动汽车,所以他发明了电动启动器。亨利·福特发明了装配线技术,使大规模生产汽车成为可能,而电梯的发明者伊莱沙·奥蒂斯间接地创造了城市的天际线。这些人明白,个人主义意味着尽自己最大的努力工作。可知,一个符合大众观点保持大量追随者的社交媒体影响者不能真正体现个人主义的本质。故选B。
31.考查推理判断。根据第一段"Those who had the pleasure of watching Benny Goodman at work saw a rather ordinary-looking man in rimless glasses and a conservative business suit; but they also saw a human being who could play the clarinet(单簧管) like no one before or since. This made Benny Goodman a unique individual. "那些有幸观看本尼·古德曼工作的人看到的是一个相当普通的人,戴着无框眼镜,穿着保守的西装;但他们也看到了一个能演奏单簧管的人,在这之前和之后都没有人能做到。这使本尼·古德曼成为一个独特的个体;以及第三段"It is doing something better than other people that makes us unique. Yet a surprising number of people still see individuality as a surface thing. They wear garish clothes, dye their hair strange colors and decorate their skin with tattoos to make some kind of social statement. But an ordinary guy who has dyed his hair purple or orange is nothing more than the same person with a funny-looking head."比别人做得更好让我们与众不同。然而,令人惊讶的是,仍有相当多的人认为个性只是表面现象。他们穿着花哨的衣服,把头发染成奇怪的颜色,用纹身装饰自己的皮肤,以表达某种社会声明。但是一个把头发染成紫色或橙色的普通人只不过是一个长着滑稽脑袋的人。可知,本文主要采用比较和对比的方式进行组织。故选D。
【答案】32.B
33.C
34.A
35.B
【知识点】推理判断题;细节理解题;科普类;议论文;标题选择
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇议论文,针对员工忠诚度的问题,通过引用实例、研究数据和报告,分析了员工忠诚度的利弊,以及它对雇主和员工自身的影响。
【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解,推理判断和标题归纳三个题型的考查,是一篇科研类阅读,通读全文,理解文章大意,阅读题目后返回原文阅读并找出与题目相对应的内容,仔细核对,选择符合原文原意的答案,完成后再次阅读并检查。
32.考查推理判断。根据第一段"How many bosses could rely on their employees threatening to quit in mass if they were abruptly forced out Sam Altman received such a show of support from more than 700 staff after he was fired from Open AI that he was swiftly restored to his position by the board. But this level of loyalty is not typical and may not always be a good thing."有多少老板能相信,如果他们突然被迫离职,他们的员工会威胁集体辞职?Sam Altman在被Open AI解雇后,得到了700多名员工的支持,董事会迅速恢复了他的职位。但这种程度的忠诚并不典型,可能并不总是一件好事。可知,Sam Altman在被Open AI解雇后,得到了700多名员工的支持,董事会迅速恢复了他的职位。可推知,作者在第一段提到Sam Altman是为了说明员工忠诚在工作中的好的一面。故选B。
33.考查细节理解。根据第三段中的"Stanley recruited almost 1,400 managers to read about a fictional 29-year-old employee called John, who worked for a company that was trying to keep costs down. They had to decide how willing they would be to ask John to work longer hours and take on more work without more pay. Researchers created various situations including labelling John as loyal versus other traits such as honest and fair. Managers were more willing to ask loyal John to take on the burden of unpaid work."Stanley招募了近1400名经理来阅读一个虚构的29岁员工John的故事,他在一家试图降低成本的公司工作。他们必须决定他们是否愿意让John工作更长时间,承担更多的工作而没有更多的报酬。研究人员创造了不同的情境,包括给John贴上忠诚和诚实、公平等其他特质的标签。经理们更愿意让忠诚的John承担无偿工作的负担。可知,Stanley招募了近1400名经理来阅读一个虚构的29岁员工John的故事,从而决定他们是否愿意让John工作更长时间,承担更多的工作而没有更多的报酬。故选C。
34.考查推理判断。根据第三段中的"Researchers created various situations including labelling John as loyal versus other traits such as honest and fair. Managers were more willing to ask loyal John to take on the burden of unpaid work."研究人员创造了不同的情境,包括给John贴上忠诚和诚实、公平等其他特质的标签。经理们更愿意让忠诚的John承担无偿工作的负担。可推断,管理者可能会利用员工的忠诚度,让他们承担更多的工作,甚至可能是无偿的工作,即管理层可以利用忠诚度来剥削员工。故选A。
35.考查标题归纳。根据第一段中的"But this level of loyalty is not typical and may not always be a good thing."但这种程度的忠诚并不典型,可能并不总是一件好事;第二段中的"Management experts say staff who are loyal to their employer are inclined to invest more time and effort in their jobs, helping to create an engaged and higher performing workplace. In turn they receive pro notions and pay rises. They have a greater sense of belonging and potentially a longer career at the same organisation. But it is not all rosy. People who are too loyal are more likely to take actions that are deemed wrong to keep their jobs and protect their employer, according to a 2021 academic paper. "管理专家表示,对雇主忠诚的员工倾向于在工作上投入更多的时间和精力,这有助于创造一个敬业、高效的工作场所。反过来,他们也会得到好处和加薪。他们有更大的归属感,可能在同一家公司有更长的职业生涯。但也不全是美好的。根据2021年的一篇学术论文,过于忠诚的人更有可能采取被认为是错误的行动来保住工作和保护雇主;以及全文内容可知,在这篇文章中,作者主要讨论了员工忠诚度对雇主和员工自身的利弊影响,特别是强调了忠诚度并不总是好事,有时可能导致不良行为或对员工造成不公平的负担。"为什么员工的忠诚并不总是一件好事?"最能够概括文章的主要观点,即员工忠诚度并不总是积极的,有时也可能带来负面影响。故选B。

【点评】考查完形填空,本题考点涉及动词,名词,形容词,副词,固定短语等多个知识点的考查,是一篇故事类阅读,要求考生在理解细节信息的基础上,进一步根据上下文的逻辑关系,进行分析推理,从而选出正确答案。
41.句意:如果是这样的话,你可能是那种以制作最简单的信息而自豪的人。A. conveying"传送";B. understanding"理解";C. crafting"精心制作";D. sending"发送"。根据上文"Do you edit text messages carefully before sending them "可知如果你是认真编辑短信的人,即使是最简单的信息,应该也会精心制作,故选C。
42.句意:如果你不是这样的话,你可能会认为自己是一个积极进取的人,一个重视刺激和速度而不是关心的人:现在就把事情做好,而不是以后再完美地完成。A. care"关心";B. quantity"数量";C. simplicity"简单";D. technology"技术"。根据空前"If you do not, you may see yourself as a go-getter"可知这里指你发信息的时候更注重速度而不是关心,故选A。
43.句意:一本名为《当今所有的读者都很忙》的新书提出,即使在非正式的行文中,也要做谨慎的撰写者。A. reader"读者";B. poster"海报";C. learner"学习者";D. writer"撰写者,作者"。根据空后"even in informal lines"可知非正式的行文,所以应该是撰写者,作者,故选D。
44.句意:作者还提出了长期以来在写作指南中备受推崇的成熟原则。A. structures"结构";B. principles"原则";C. aims"目的";D. alternatives"可供选择的事务"。根据空后"in guides to writing"可知在写作指南中应该提出的是写作的原则,规则,故选B。
45.句意:大多数关于写作的书都提倡去掉不必要的单词。A. remove"去掉";B. ignore"忽视";C. reconsider"重新考虑";D. interpret"口译"。根据空后"needless words"可知,要去掉不必要的单词,故选A。
46.句意:然而,作者已经验证了这个想法。A. conveyed"传输";B. translated"翻译";C. tested "测试";D. shaped"塑造"。根据下文"In an email to thousands of school-board members asking them to take a survey, cutting the count from127 to 49 words"可知是对于去掉不必要的单词这一想法已经验证了,故选C。
47.句意:在一封发给数千名学校董事会成员的电子邮件中,他们要求他们进行一项调查,将字数从127个字减少到49个字,几乎使回复率翻了一番。A. lowered"降低";B. affected"影响";C. doubled "加倍";D. maintained"维持"。根据上文"The authors, however, have 6 the idea."可知这个想法得到了验证,所以应该是回复率翻了一倍,故选C。
48.句意:将信息集中在一个想法上——或者在绝对需要的时候尽量少一些——有助于确保它们被阅读、记住并采取行动。A. basic"基本的";B. positive"积极的";C. definite"明确的";D. single "单一的"。根据上文"Take ‘less is more'.";以及空后"helps ensure that they will be read, remembered and acted on."可推知是要把信息集中在一个想法上或者尽量少些,故选D。
49.句意:减少可用选项的数量也有同样的效果。A. Recording"记录";B. Reducing"减少";C. Counting"数数";D. Estimating"估计"。根据上文"Keeping messages to a 8 idea—or as few as absolutely needed—helps ensure that they will be read, remembered and acted on."可推测这里要想有同样的效果,也应该是减少,故选B。
50.句意:例如,电子邮件中的链接单独呈现时,比与第二个附加链接一起发送时吸引的点击量多50%。A. in comparison"相比之下";B. after all"毕竟";C. for instance"例如";D. in particular "尤其"。根据上文" 9 the number of the available options has the same effect, too."可知本句是举例说明上文的这个观点,故选C。
51.句意:语法和用词也很重要。A. word-choice"选词";B. pattern-design"模版设计";C. target-setting"设定目标";D. platform-selection"平台选择"。根据空前上文"Syntax (句法)"以及本文主要说的是编辑短信,所以应该是选词,故选A。
52.句意:更适合采用短小主动的句子,用大家都熟悉的常用词。A. difficult"困难的";B. suitable"适合的";C. challenging"有挑战性的";D. common"普通的"。根据空后"to adopt short and active sentences, with common words familiar to everyone"和常识可知编辑信息更适合短小主动的句子,用大家都熟悉的常用词,故选B。
53.句意:这可能会促使人们在最短时间内发送尽可能多的信息,并抱着最好的希望。A. carefully"仔细地";B. often"经常";C. politely"有礼貌地";D. quickly"迅速地"。根据上文"If everyone is a busy reader, everyone is a busy writer, too."可知人们如果是繁忙的读者,也就是繁忙的撰写者,那他发短信当然是越快越好,故选D。
54.句意:但从论文到安排晚餐计划的短信,花时间满足读者的需求是有好处的。A. outcomes"结果";B. points"要点";C. figures"数字";D. benefits"好处"。根据下文"If you are so busy that you write an undisciplined message which readers scan, ignore and delete"可知花时间编辑短信来满足读者的需求,应该有好处,否则那种杂乱无章的信息就很容易被删除,故选D。
55.句意:如果你太忙了,以至于你写了一条杂乱无章的信息,读者会浏览、忽略和删除,那么你还不如根本不写它。A. received"收到";B. written"写";C. read"读";D. answered"回答"。根据空前"If you are so busy that you write an undisciplined message which readers scan, ignore and delete"可知如果太忙编辑一些杂乱无章的信息,就很容易被忽略或者删除,所以还不如不编辑,不写,故选B。
【答案】56.adulthood;57.cherishing;58.disheartened;59.making;60.gradually;61.As;62.of;63.becoming;64.that/which;65.on/over/about
【知识点】应用文
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇应用文,是28岁的Kelsey写给18岁的自己的一封信,包括对未来的展望和对过去的总结。
【点评】考查语法填空,本题考点涉及名词,非谓语动词,形容词,副词,介词,定语从句以及固定搭配等多个知识点的考查,要求考生在理解细节信息的基础上,进一步根据上下文的逻辑关系,并结合相关语法知识,进行分析推理,从而写出正确的单词形式。
56.句意:你在很多方面已经正式成年了,尽管我知道你已经成熟得超出了你的年龄。空格处用名词作宾语,句子表示"你在很多方面已经正式成年了",空格处意为"成年",名词是adulthood。故填adulthood。
57.句意:坚持珍惜每一秒。stick to"坚持",其中to是介词,其后跟动名词作宾语,故填cherishing。
58.句意:也会有低谷,你可能会感到沮丧。空格处用形容词作表语,修饰主语you,用ed结尾的形容词disheartened,意为"沮丧的;灰心的"。故填disheartened。
59.句意:但你肯定会坚持下去,渐渐地你会变得比以前更强大。be committed to"致力于",其中to是介词,其后跟动名词作宾语,故填making。
60.句意:但你肯定会坚持下去,渐渐地你会变得比以前更强大。此处副词gradually作状语,gradually意为"逐渐,渐渐地",故填gradually。
61.句意:因此,你的力量将受到一次又一次的考验。as a consequence固定短语,"因此",位于句首,首字母大写,故填As。
62.句意:赞成一切有助于你变得无所畏惧和独立的事情。approve of是固定短语,意为"赞成",故填of。
63.句意:赞成一切有助于你变得无所畏惧和独立的事情。your后跟动名词becoming,表示"你变得无所畏惧",故填becoming。
64.句意:当你成为一个成年人时,要抓住每一个机会。 comes your way 是限制性定语从句,从句中缺少主语,先行词opportunity是物,因此空格处用关系代词that/which,故填that/which。
65.句意:毫无疑问,你会一直考虑这件事,然后做出正确的决定。ponder on/over/about sth.固定短语,"考虑,思考某物",故填on/over/about。
66.【答案】Dear Patrick,

67.【答案】"Pretty" caught my attention since it was almost my favorite word. At that moment, I felt myself surrounded with a lot of warmth and love. I knew teachers would never lie. It was Miss Pratt who brought a lot of confidence to me. From that moment on, I made the decision to be one of the top students in my class to improve myself. Whatever it took and no matter how much time I would spend, I would try my best to succeed.
About two months later, the final exam result was announced and I got the first place. The moment Miss Pratt finished the announcement, the whole class cheered and clapped for me. For the first time. I felt truly good about myself and 1knew I had been motivated by Miss Pratt's praise. This might not have occurred if I had not heard those kind words. Thank you so much, Miss Pratt! What a great difference you have made! I am determined to be a caring teacher like you!
【知识点】文字式记叙文;开放性作文;读后续写
【解析】【分析】本篇书面表达是读后续写。通过阅读文章可知,讲述了作者小时候遭遇了车祸,身上留下了残疾,自信心受到了打击。直到作者听到了普拉特老师对自己的积极评价,给作者带来了自信,让作者期末考试得了第一名。段落续写:①由第一段首句内容"‘漂亮'引起了我的注意,因为它几乎是我最喜欢的词"可知,第一段可描写作者内心对老师话的感受以及她在心态上的改变。②由第二段首句内容"大约两个月后,期末考试结果公布了,我得了第一名。"可知,第二段可描写作者对此的感悟。写作时注意准确运用时态,上下文意思连贯,符合逻辑关系,尽量使用自己熟悉的单词句式,同时也要注意使用高级词汇和高级句型使文章显得更有档次。

The Carter Center said recently that only 13 human cases of Guinea worm disease were reported worldwide last year. That is a major drop from 3.5 million cases of infected people in 1986, in which year the Atlanta-based Carter Center joined the World Health Organization( WHO) in the fight against Guinea worm disease. The center said the remaining infection occurred in four countries in sub-Saharan Africa. Six human cases were reported in Chad, five in South Sudan, one in Ethiopia and one in the Central African Republic. And the Central African Republic case remains under investigation.
Guinea worm disease is a disease that affects poor communities in distant parts of Africa and Asia where people do not have safe water to drink. People who drink unclean water can get parasites(寄生虫) that can grow up to 1 meter. The worm grows in people for up to a year before painfully coming out, often through the feet or other sensitive parts of the body.
The WHO says there is neither a drug treatment for Guinea worm disease nor a vaccine to prevent it. But it can be prevented by training people to filter(过滤) and drink clean water.
Guinea worm disease could be the second human disease to be ended after smallpox, according to the Carter Center. Adam Weiss, a director of a program to fight against the disease, says that eradicating the disease finally could be difficult, for the populations where Guinea worm disease still exists often face insecurity, including conflict, which can prevent workers and volunteers from going house to house to offer support.
Weiss warns, "If support for these communities slows or stops, there's no question that you're going to see a sudden increase in Guinea worm." However, he adds, "We're continuing to make progress—even if it is not as fast as we all want it to be, that progress continues."
24.What do we know about Guinea worm disease from the text
A.It's still a big problem worldwide.
B.It was first found in the year 1986.
C.It has been well controlled in the past years.
D.It once existed in most countries worldwide.
25.What will happen after one is infected with Guinea worm disease
A.He can be in great pain within a few days.
B.He will end up becoming very sensitive.
C.He will mainly suffer stomachaches.
D.He may suffer a lot in the end.
26.How can Guinea worm disease be best handled
A.By having a vaccine to prevent it.
B.By ensuring drinking water is clean.
C.By receiving a good drug treatment.
D.By avoiding getting into unclean water.
27.What does the underlined word "eradicating" in Paragraph 4 mean
A.Completely ending. B.Carefully studying.
C.Exactly knowing. D.Suddenly changing.

【知识点】词义猜测题;细节理解题;故事阅读类;新闻报道类;记叙文
【解析】【分析】这是一篇新闻报道。文章主要说明了卡特中心最近表示,去年全球仅报告了13例麦地那龙线虫病病例,与1986年的350万感染病例相比,这是一个很大的下降。文章介绍了这种疾病的一些背景信息。
【点评】考查阅读理解。本篇文章涉及细节理解题和词义猜测题两种题型。细节理解题要求考生能在快速阅读文章的同时,从中获取某些特定的直接信息或理解特定信息的意义。做细节理解题时,要根据题干中的关键词,找准相关句、段的内容,再仔细对照,不符合原文意义的选项要首先排除,反之,则是正确选项。词义猜测题的解题方法包括利用指代关系、定义、定语、文章中的举例、比较的词语、构词法知识、上下文语境、因果关系来推测词义。
24.细节理解题。根据第一段"That is a major drop from 3.5 million cases of infected people in 1986, in which year the Atlanta-based Carter Center joined the World Health Organization( WHO) in the fight against Guinea worm disease.(与1986年的350万感染病例相比,这是一个很大的下降。1986年,总部位于亚特兰大的卡特中心与世界卫生组织(WHO)一起抗击麦地那龙线虫病)"可知,在过去这些年里,这种疾病被控制得很好。故选C。
25.细节理解题。根据第二段"The worm grows in people for up to a year before painfully coming out, often through the feet or other sensitive parts of the body.(这种蠕虫在人体内生长长达一年,然后痛苦地出来,通常通过脚或身体的其他敏感部位)"可知,这种疾病最后会让人很痛苦。故选D。
26.细节理解题。根据第三段"But it can be prevented by training people to filter (过滤) and drink clean water.(但它可以通过训练人们过滤和饮用干净的水来预防)"可知,最好的解决办法是保证饮用水干净。故选B。
27.词义猜测题。根据划线词后文"the disease finally could be difficult, for the populations where Guinea worm disease still exists often face insecurity, including conflict, which can prevent workers and volunteers from going house to house to offer support"可知,因为麦地那龙线虫病仍然存在的人群经常面临不安全,包括冲突,这可能会阻止工作人员和志愿者挨家挨户地提供支持,说明"彻底根除"这种疾病不容易。故划线词意思是"彻底结束"。故选A。
(2024·重庆市模拟)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
Those who had the pleasure of watching Benny Goodman at work saw a rather ordinary-looking man in rimless glasses and a conservative business suit; but they also saw a human being who could play the clarinet(单簧管) like no one before or since. This made Benny Goodman a unique individual.
Other Americans who have stood out from the flock include Joe DiMaggio, Beverly Sill, Ernest Hemingway and Jonas Salk. They, like Benny Goodman, were recognized and honored for no other reason than excellence.
It is doing something better than other people that makes us unique. Yet a surprising number of people still see individuality as a surface thing. They wear garish clothes, dye their hair strange colors and decorate their skin with tattoos to make some kind of social statement. But an ordinary guy who has dyed his hair purple or orange is nothing more than the same person with a funny-looking head.
The whole purpose of individuality is excellence. Those who invent, who improvise(即兴发挥), who know more about a subject than other people do, and who take something that doesn't work and make it work––these people are the very soul of capitalism.
Charles Kettering didn't like the idea of cranking a car to make it start, so he invented the electric starter. Henry Ford figured out the assembly-line technique and made it possible to mass-produce automobiles, and Elisha Otis, inventor of the elevator, indirectly created the city sky-line. These people understood that individualism means working at the top of one's capacity.
The ones with the purple hair and the funky jewelry are just along for the ride, trying to be "different" and not knowing how to go about it.
The student who earns straight A's on his report card has grasped the idea and has found the real meaning of individuality. So has the youngster who has designed his own spaceship, who gives piano recitals, who paints pictures of the world around him.
Benny Goodman understood it too. This is why he was at his best, blowing his clarinet, in a blue suit and black shoes.
28.The author mentions the appearance of Benny Goodman to ____.
A.show what a talented musician should look like
B.introduce an important figure in the musical world
C.contrast with his talent in music performance
D.indicate that he can't stand out from the flock
29.The author would most probably agree that ____.
A.an individualist tends to seek difference both in character and appearance
B.the essence of individualism lies in pursuing excellence to the full
C.being different in appearance is the very first step to being individual
D.those who strive to win the recognition of others are real individualists
30.According to the passage, which individual's actions may not truly embody the essence of individualism
A.A scientist who conducts research solely advancing knowledge for the greater good rather than for personal recognition.
B.A social media influencer who conforms to popular opinions to maintain a large following.
C.An artist who creates unique works but fail to gain fame and recognition from others.
D.An entrepreneur who prioritizes ethical considerations over profit in his business practices.
31.For the main thread, the article is organized by way of ____.
A.specific to general B.cause and effect
C.examples and conclusion D.comparison and contrast
【答案】28.C

【知识点】推理判断题;细节理解题;说明文;科普类
【解析】【分析】本文为一篇说明文,介绍了什么是个人主义,个人主义有什么特点。
【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解和推理判断两个题型的考查,是一篇科普类阅读,首先要仔细阅读短文,掌握大意,然后结合具体的题目,再读短文,从中找出相关信息,就可以确定正确答案。
28.考查细节理解。根据第一段"Those who had the pleasure of watching Benny Goodman at work saw a rather ordinary-looking man in rimless glasses and a conservative business suit; but they also saw a human being who could play the clarinet(单簧管) like no one before or since. This made Benny Goodman a unique individual. "那些有幸观看本尼·古德曼工作的人看到的是一个相当普通的人,戴着无框眼镜,穿着保守的西装;但他们也看到了一个能演奏单簧管的人,在这之前和之后都没有人能做到。这使本尼·古德曼成为一个独特的个体。可知,作者提到本尼·古德曼的外表与他在音乐表演方面的天赋形成对比。故选C。
29.考查推理判断。根据第四段"The whole purpose of individuality is excellence. Those who invent, who improvise(即兴发挥), who know more about a subject than other people do, and who take something that doesn't work and make it work—these people are the very soul of capitalism."个性的全部目的就是追求卓越。那些发明创造,即兴发挥,比别人更了解一个主题,并采取无效的东西,并使其发挥作用的人-这些人是资本主义的灵魂。可知,作者可能同意个人主义的本质在于追求卓越。故选B。
30.考查推理判断。根据第五段"Charles Kettering didn't like the idea of cranking a car to make it start, so he invented the electric starter. Henry Ford figured out the assembly-line technique and made it possible to mass-produce automobiles, and Elisha Otis, inventor of the elevator, indirectly created the city sky-line. These people understood that individualism means working at the top of one's capacity. "查尔斯·凯特林不喜欢用曲棍发动汽车,所以他发明了电动启动器。亨利·福特发明了装配线技术,使大规模生产汽车成为可能,而电梯的发明者伊莱沙·奥蒂斯间接地创造了城市的天际线。这些人明白,个人主义意味着尽自己最大的努力工作。可知,一个符合大众观点保持大量追随者的社交媒体影响者不能真正体现个人主义的本质。故选B。
31.考查推理判断。根据第一段"Those who had the pleasure of watching Benny Goodman at work saw a rather ordinary-looking man in rimless glasses and a conservative business suit; but they also saw a human being who could play the clarinet(单簧管) like no one before or since. This made Benny Goodman a unique individual. "那些有幸观看本尼·古德曼工作的人看到的是一个相当普通的人,戴着无框眼镜,穿着保守的西装;但他们也看到了一个能演奏单簧管的人,在这之前和之后都没有人能做到。这使本尼·古德曼成为一个独特的个体;以及第三段"It is doing something better than other people that makes us unique. Yet a surprising number of people still see individuality as a surface thing. They wear garish clothes, dye their hair strange colors and decorate their skin with tattoos to make some kind of social statement. But an ordinary guy who has dyed his hair purple or orange is nothing more than the same person with a funny-looking head."比别人做得更好让我们与众不同。然而,令人惊讶的是,仍有相当多的人认为个性只是表面现象。他们穿着花哨的衣服,把头发染成奇怪的颜色,用纹身装饰自己的皮肤,以表达某种社会声明。但是一个把头发染成紫色或橙色的普通人只不过是一个长着滑稽脑袋的人。可知,本文主要采用比较和对比的方式进行组织。故选D。
(2024·重庆市模拟)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
How many bosses could rely on their employees threatening to quit in mass if they were abruptly forced out Sam Altman received such a show of support from more than 700 staff after he was fired from Open AI that he was swiftly restored to his position by the board. But this level of loyalty is not typical and may not always be a good thing.
Management experts say staff who are loyal to their employer are inclined to invest more time and effort in their jobs, helping to create an engaged and higher performing workplace. In turn they receive pro notions and pay rises. They have a greater sense of belonging and potentially a longer career at the same organisation. But it is not all rosy. People who are too loyal are more likely to take actions that are deemed wrong to keep their jobs and protect their employer, according to a 2021 academic paper. They might overlook wrongdoing and be less likely to expose corruption. Loyalty is sometimes seen as such a force for good that it can be used to justify bad behavior.
Often companies and senior bosses are the real winner a of employee loyalty. Research led by Matthew Stanley at Duke University's Fuqua School of Business published this year, found that managers were more likely to exploit loyal individuals. Stanley recruited almost 1,400 managers to read about a fictional 29-year-old employee called John, who worked for a company that was trying to keep costs down. They had to decide how willing they would be to ask John to work longer hours and take on more work without more pay. Researchers created various situations including labelling John as loyal versus other traits such as honest and fair. Managers were more willing to ask loyal John to take on the burden of unpaid work.
However, Consultancy Gallup's latest state of the workplace report showed that half of the 122, 416 employees who took part in a global survey were looking out for new work. "You can't guarantee anyone will stick around these days," says a consultant who advises boards. This is particularly true of younger generations. They trust their bosses less and are not as patient when it comes to career progression, seeing little benefit in keeping their heads down and following orders if they do not see results quickly.
32.What does the author want to say by mentioning Sam Altman in Paragraph 1
A.Open AI's staff loyalty is quite high.
B.Staff loyalty's rosy side in the work.
C.Sam Altman could count on his employees.
D.This level of loyalty is not always good.
33.How did Matthew Stanley conduct his research!
A.Through global surveys concerning a fictional employee named John.
B.By creating different situations to ask John ta take on more unpaid work.
C.By asking managers to make decisions about work arrangements of John.
D.By recruiting managers to read fiction about work traits like loyal and honest.
34.What can you learn from the passage
A.Loyalty can be used by management to exploit employees.
B.Younger generations are more patient towards their employers.
C.Employees who are loyal are more likely to report wrongdoing.
D.Loyalty to an employer always leads to a positive work environment.
35.What can be a suitable title for the text
A.How Job Loyalty Affects the Work Environment
B.Why Staff Loyalty is Not Always a Good Thing
C.Are Loyal Employees More Likely to be Promoted
D.Does Work Loyalty Help Career Progress More Quickly
【答案】32.B

32.考查推理判断。根据第一段"How many bosses could rely on their employees threatening to quit in mass if they were abruptly forced out Sam Altman received such a show of support from more than 700 staff after he was fired from Open AI that he was swiftly restored to his position by the board. But this level of loyalty is not typical and may not always be a good thing."有多少老板能相信,如果他们突然被迫离职,他们的员工会威胁集体辞职?Sam Altman在被Open AI解雇后,得到了700多名员工的支持,董事会迅速恢复了他的职位。但这种程度的忠诚并不典型,可能并不总是一件好事。可知,Sam Altman在被Open AI解雇后,得到了700多名员工的支持,董事会迅速恢复了他的职位。可推知,作者在第一段提到Sam Altman是为了说明员工忠诚在工作中的好的一面。故选B。
33.考查细节理解。根据第三段中的"Stanley recruited almost 1,400 managers to read about a fictional 29-year-old employee called John, who worked for a company that was trying to keep costs down. They had to decide how willing they would be to ask John to work longer hours and take on more work without more pay. Researchers created various situations including labelling John as loyal versus other traits such as honest and fair. Managers were more willing to ask loyal John to take on the burden of unpaid work."Stanley招募了近1400名经理来阅读一个虚构的29岁员工John的故事,他在一家试图降低成本的公司工作。他们必须决定他们是否愿意让John工作更长时间,承担更多的工作而没有更多的报酬。研究人员创造了不同的情境,包括给John贴上忠诚和诚实、公平等其他特质的标签。经理们更愿意让忠诚的John承担无偿工作的负担。可知,Stanley招募了近1400名经理来阅读一个虚构的29岁员工John的故事,从而决定他们是否愿意让John工作更长时间,承担更多的工作而没有更多的报酬。故选C。
34.考查推理判断。根据第三段中的"Researchers created various situations including labelling John as loyal versus other traits such as honest and fair. Managers were more willing to ask loyal John to take on the burden of unpaid work."研究人员创造了不同的情境,包括给John贴上忠诚和诚实、公平等其他特质的标签。经理们更愿意让忠诚的John承担无偿工作的负担。可推断,管理者可能会利用员工的忠诚度,让他们承担更多的工作,甚至可能是无偿的工作,即管理层可以利用忠诚度来剥削员工。故选A。
35.考查标题归纳。根据第一段中的"But this level of loyalty is not typical and may not always be a good thing."但这种程度的忠诚并不典型,可能并不总是一件好事;第二段中的"Management experts say staff who are loyal to their employer are inclined to invest more time and effort in their jobs, helping to create an engaged and higher performing workplace. In turn they receive pro notions and pay rises. They have a greater sense of belonging and potentially a longer career at the same organisation. But it is not all rosy. People who are too loyal are more likely to take actions that are deemed wrong to keep their jobs and protect their employer, according to a 2021 academic paper. "管理专家表示,对雇主忠诚的员工倾向于在工作上投入更多的时间和精力,这有助于创造一个敬业、高效的工作场所。反过来,他们也会得到好处和加薪。他们有更大的归属感,可能在同一家公司有更长的职业生涯。但也不全是美好的。根据2021年的一篇学术论文,过于忠诚的人更有可能采取被认为是错误的行动来保住工作和保护雇主;以及全文内容可知,在这篇文章中,作者主要讨论了员工忠诚度对雇主和员工自身的利弊影响,特别是强调了忠诚度并不总是好事,有时可能导致不良行为或对员工造成不公平的负担。"为什么员工的忠诚并不总是一件好事?"最能够概括文章的主要观点,即员工忠诚度并不总是积极的,有时也可能带来负面影响。故选B。

People are constantly receiving messages, from the mailbox to the inbox to the text-message alert. What to read, what to skim (略读) and what to ignore are decisions that nearly everyone has to make dozens of times a day. A new book titled All Readers are Busy Nowadaysmakes the argument for being the careful kind of 43. , even in informal lines. The authors also present well-established 44. that have long been prized in guides to writing.
Take "less is more". Most books on writing well advocate the advice to 45. needless words. The authors, however, have 46. the idea. In an email to thousands of school-board members asking them to take a survey, cutting the count from127 to 49 words almost 47. the response rate.
Keeping messages to a 48. idea—or as few as absolutely needed—helps ensure that they will be read, remembered and acted on. 49. the number of the available options has the same effect, too. A link in an email, 50. , attracted 50% more clicks when presented alone than when it was sent alongside a second additional link.
Syntax (句法) and 51. matter, too. It is more 52. to adopt short and active sentences, with common words familiar to everyone. From Facebook posts to online-travel reviews, even brief, informal pieces of writing that follow these rules get more likes and shares.
If everyone is a busy reader, everyone is a busy writer, too. That may make it tempting to sent as many messages as 53. as possible and hope for the best. But from essays to text messages organizing dinner plans, devoting time to the needs of readers has provable 54. . If you are so busy that you write an undisciplined message which readers scan, ignore and delete, then you might as well have not 55. it at all.

47.句意:在一封发给数千名学校董事会成员的电子邮件中,他们要求他们进行一项调查,将字数从127个字减少到49个字,几乎使回复率翻了一番。A. lowered"降低";B. affected"影响";C. doubled "加倍";D. maintained"维持"。根据上文"The authors, however, have 6 the idea."可知这个想法得到了验证,所以应该是回复率翻了一倍,故选C。
48.句意:将信息集中在一个想法上——或者在绝对需要的时候尽量少一些——有助于确保它们被阅读、记住并采取行动。A. basic"基本的";B. positive"积极的";C. definite"明确的";D. single "单一的"。根据上文"Take ‘less is more'.";以及空后"helps ensure that they will be read, remembered and acted on."可推知是要把信息集中在一个想法上或者尽量少些,故选D。
49.句意:减少可用选项的数量也有同样的效果。A. Recording"记录";B. Reducing"减少";C. Counting"数数";D. Estimating"估计"。根据上文"Keeping messages to a 8 idea—or as few as absolutely needed—helps ensure that they will be read, remembered and acted on."可推测这里要想有同样的效果,也应该是减少,故选B。
50.句意:例如,电子邮件中的链接单独呈现时,比与第二个附加链接一起发送时吸引的点击量多50%。A. in comparison"相比之下";B. after all"毕竟";C. for instance"例如";D. in particular "尤其"。根据上文" 9 the number of the available options has the same effect, too."可知本句是举例说明上文的这个观点,故选C。
51.句意:语法和用词也很重要。A. word-choice"选词";B. pattern-design"模版设计";C. target-setting"设定目标";D. platform-selection"平台选择"。根据空前上文"Syntax (句法)"以及本文主要说的是编辑短信,所以应该是选词,故选A。
52.句意:更适合采用短小主动的句子,用大家都熟悉的常用词。A. difficult"困难的";B. suitable"适合的";C. challenging"有挑战性的";D. common"普通的"。根据空后"to adopt short and active sentences, with common words familiar to everyone"和常识可知编辑信息更适合短小主动的句子,用大家都熟悉的常用词,故选B。
53.句意:这可能会促使人们在最短时间内发送尽可能多的信息,并抱着最好的希望。A. carefully"仔细地";B. often"经常";C. politely"有礼貌地";D. quickly"迅速地"。根据上文"If everyone is a busy reader, everyone is a busy writer, too."可知人们如果是繁忙的读者,也就是繁忙的撰写者,那他发短信当然是越快越好,故选D。
54.句意:但从论文到安排晚餐计划的短信,花时间满足读者的需求是有好处的。A. outcomes"结果";B. points"要点";C. figures"数字";D. benefits"好处"。根据下文"If you are so busy that you write an undisciplined message which readers scan, ignore and delete"可知花时间编辑短信来满足读者的需求,应该有好处,否则那种杂乱无章的信息就很容易被删除,故选D。
55.句意:如果你太忙了,以至于你写了一条杂乱无章的信息,读者会浏览、忽略和删除,那么你还不如根本不写它。A. received"收到";B. written"写";C. read"读";D. answered"回答"。根据空前"If you are so busy that you write an undisciplined message which readers scan, ignore and delete"可知如果太忙编辑一些杂乱无章的信息,就很容易被忽略或者删除,所以还不如不编辑,不写,故选B。

【点评】考查语法填空,本题考点涉及名词,非谓语动词,形容词,副词,介词,定语从句以及固定搭配等多个知识点的考查,要求考生在理解细节信息的基础上,进一步根据上下文的逻辑关系,并结合相关语法知识,进行分析推理,从而写出正确的单词形式。
56.句意:你在很多方面已经正式成年了,尽管我知道你已经成熟得超出了你的年龄。空格处用名词作宾语,句子表示"你在很多方面已经正式成年了",空格处意为"成年",名词是adulthood。故填adulthood。
57.句意:坚持珍惜每一秒。stick to"坚持",其中to是介词,其后跟动名词作宾语,故填cherishing。
58.句意:也会有低谷,你可能会感到沮丧。空格处用形容词作表语,修饰主语you,用ed结尾的形容词disheartened,意为"沮丧的;灰心的"。故填disheartened。
59.句意:但你肯定会坚持下去,渐渐地你会变得比以前更强大。be committed to"致力于",其中to是介词,其后跟动名词作宾语,故填making。
60.句意:但你肯定会坚持下去,渐渐地你会变得比以前更强大。此处副词gradually作状语,gradually意为"逐渐,渐渐地",故填gradually。

62.句意:赞成一切有助于你变得无所畏惧和独立的事情。approve of是固定短语,意为"赞成",故填of。
63.句意:赞成一切有助于你变得无所畏惧和独立的事情。your后跟动名词becoming,表示"你变得无所畏惧",故填becoming。
64.句意:当你成为一个成年人时,要抓住每一个机会。 comes your way 是限制性定语从句,从句中缺少主语,先行词opportunity是物,因此空格处用关系代词that/which,故填that/which。
65.句意:毫无疑问,你会一直考虑这件事,然后做出正确的决定。ponder on/over/about sth.固定短语,"考虑,思考某物",故填on/over/about。

八、第二节(满分25分)
67.(2024·重庆市模拟)阅读下面材料, 根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段, 使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It's a great pity that I had not put forth the amount of effort required. I had spent too much timed playing with my friends instead of improving myself. I had let down my teacher, who was the kindest, sweetest, and prettiest one I had ever known. She laughed often, and never threatened any of us, yet she was able to "read" the children, control the class, and teach effectively. Miss Pratt put a lot of herself into her work. Every day near the close of school, she would read to us, or even better, tell us stories about when she was a little girl. Most importantly, she made us feel that she cared about us and that we were important.
Because of a serious car accident when I was three and a half years old, I had a sear (伤疤) below my nose that was the result of a torn upper lip. Everything else had healed up without any after effects physically, but my emotions remained scarred. Meanwhile, having been called "Chief Running Nose" and "Scarface" by many children, my confidence had suffered. Although my parents and relatives referred to me as pretty, I did not see myself that way.
Focusing on my scar, I could not appreciate any redeeming features (可取之处). At the end of one school day, I remained in my classroom, waiting for the arrival of my mother, who was coming to take me to an appointment close to the school. Miss Pratt sat at her desk with a fellow teacher and chatted.
I glanced at the clock and realized it was time to get ready to leave. I put on my wool coat and hat. The teachers looked at my clothes and seemed to admire it. I was able to read their lips a little and my ears perked up to hear, "Who is she She is really cute." My teacher Miss Pratt answered, "I agree. Bernice is quite pretty."
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
"Pretty" caught my attention since it was almost my favorite word.
About two months later, the final exam result was announced and I got the first place.
【答案】"Pretty" caught my attention since it was almost my favorite word. At that moment, I felt myself surrounded with a lot of warmth and love. I knew teachers would never lie. It was Miss Pratt who brought a lot of confidence to me. From that moment on, I made the decision to be one of the top students in my class to improve myself. Whatever it took and no matter how much time I would spend, I would try my best to succeed.
About two months later, the final exam result was announced and I got the first place. The moment Miss Pratt finished the announcement, the whole class cheered and clapped for me. For the first time. I felt truly good about myself and 1knew I had been motivated by Miss Pratt's praise. This might not have occurred if I had not heard those kind words. Thank you so much, Miss Pratt! What a great difference you have made! I am determined to be a caring teacher like you!
【知识点】文字式记叙文;开放性作文;读后续写
【解析】【分析】本篇书面表达是读后续写。通过阅读文章可知,讲述了作者小时候遭遇了车祸,身上留下了残疾,自信心受到了打击。直到作者听到了普拉特老师对自己的积极评价,给作者带来了自信,让作者期末考试得了第一名。段落续写:①由第一段首句内容"‘漂亮'引起了我的注意,因为它几乎是我最喜欢的词"可知,第一段可描写作者内心对老师话的感受以及她在心态上的改变。②由第二段首句内容"大约两个月后,期末考试结果公布了,我得了第一名。"可知,第二段可描写作者对此的感悟。写作时注意准确运用时态,上下文意思连贯,符合逻辑关系,尽量使用自己熟悉的单词句式,同时也要注意使用高级词汇和高级句型使文章显得更有档次。
【点评】本书面表达要点齐全,上下文连贯,使用一定数量的句式结构,让句子更加生动丰满,同时运用了许多高级词汇和固定短语,提高文章的档次,体现了对英语的熟练的驾驭能力。例如: I knew teachers would never lie.运用了宾语从句; It was Miss Pratt who brought a lot of confidenc e to me. 运用了强调句; Whatever it took and no matter how much time I would spend, I would try my best to succeed.运用了让步状语从句;The moment Miss Pratt finished the announcement, the whole class cheered and clapped for me. 运用了时间状语从句;For the first time. I felt truly good about myself and I knew I had been motivated by Miss Pratt's praise. 运用了并列句,宾语从句;This might not have occurred if I had not heard those kind words. 运用了条件状语从句,虚拟语气; What a great difference you have made! 运用了感叹句。
