(2024山东德州夏津一中月考)
In 1880, fourteen-year-old Matthew Henson was fascinated by the tales of sailors' exciting lives at sea. One day he set out on the forty-mile journey to the nearest large port to seek work on a sailing ship.
In Baltimore, Henson found a job as a cabin boy on a beautiful ship called the Katie Hinds. For the next five years, Henson sailed around the world. By the time he left the Katie Hinds in 1885, Henson was well-educated, thus becoming an excellent seaman.
Unable to find work anywhere else, Henson took a job in a hat shop in Washington, D.C. One day in 1887, a man came in to buy a hat. The man, Robert Peary, asked the owner if he knew anyone with experience at sea. Peary would soon travel to South America for the U.S. government. He needed experienced men to accompany him.
The shop owner knew about his young employee's skills and experience on ocean voyages, so he introduced Peary to Henson. Henson and Peary soon found they had a great deal in common, including their love of the sea.
Using his map-reading and sailing skills, Henson proved himself to be a worthy and intelligent seaman. One day Peary told Henson about his real dream: to be the first man to stand on “the top of the world” at the North Pole. He asked Henson to help him make his dream come true.
Over the next five years, the two explorers made two trips together to the Arctic. However, they were not able to reach the pole each time.
In 1908, Peary and Henson were ready to make their final attempt at reaching the North Pole. Both men were over forty years old. The years of hardship and suffering in extreme cold had taken their toll on both men. This would be their last chance.
In April 1909, Henson's instruments showed they were standing at the North Pole. Together Henson and Peary planted an American flag in the snow. They were greatly honored for their achievement. Today, the two friends and fellow explorers lie in heroes' graves not far apart at Arlington National Cemetery.

A.He was highly educated. B.He was skilled in sailing.
C.He used to travel at sea. D.He was interested in sea exploring.
2.What is Paragraph 3 mainly about
A.Why Matthew Henson went to the hat shop.
B.How Matthew Henson met Robert Peary.
C.Why Matthew Henson stopped working on the Katie Hinds.
D.How the shop owner knew that Matthew Henson had sea experience.
3.What does the underlined part mean in Paragraph 7

C.Weakened them. D.Enlightened them.
4.What could the story between Henson and Peary be compared to
A.Sailors seeking power over others. B.Fighters exploring an unknown land.
C.Treasure hunters looking for fortunes. D.Soldiers fighting for their freedom.

The Science of Risk-Seeking
Sometimes we decide that a little unnecessary danger is worth it because when we weigh the risk and the reward, the risk seems worth taking. 1 Some of us enjoy activities that would astonish and scare the rest of us. Why Experts say it may have to do with how our brains work.
The reason why we take risks might relate to early humans. Risk-takers were better at hunting, fighting, or exploring. 2 As the quality of risk-taking was passed from one generation to the next, humans ended up with a sense of adventure and tolerance for risk.
So why aren't we all jumping out of airplanes then Well, even 200,000 years ago, too much risk-taking could get one killed. A few daring survived, though, along with a few stay-in-the-cave types. As a result, humans developed a range of character types that still exists today. So maybe you love car racing, or maybe you hate it. 3
No matter where you are on the risk-seeking range, scientists say that your willingness to take risks increases during your teenage years. 4 To help you do that, your brain increases your hunger for new experiences. New experiences often mean taking some risks, so your brain raises your tolerance for risk as well.
5 For the risk-seekers, a part of the brain related to pleasure becomes active, while for the rest of us, a part of the brain related to fear becomes active.
As experts continue to study the science of risk-seeking, we'll continue to hit the mountains, the waves or the shallow end of the pool.
A.It all depends on your character.
B.Those are the risks you should jump to take.
C.Being better at those things meant a greater chance of survival.
D.Thus, these well-equipped people survived because they were the fittest.
E.This is when you start to move away from your family and into the bigger world.
F.However, we are not all using the same reference standard to weigh risks and rewards.
G.New brain research suggests our brains work differently when we face a nervous situation.

Ⅰ.1.rubber 2.guidelines 3.liquids 4.cotton 5.port
6.alcohol
Ⅱ.1.of 考查介词。句意:孩子们欢呼起来,完全没有意识到危险。be unaware of意为“没意识到……”。此处用形容词短语作伴随状语。
2.bleeding 考查名词。句意:频繁的鼻子出血可能是这种新药的副作用。根据空前形容词Frequent可知,本空应用名词bleeding,意为“流血,失血”。
3.injury 考查名词。句意:他从船上跳下,撞上了一个沙洲,导致颈部严重受伤。本空作leading to的宾语,根据空前a severe可知,本空应用可数名词单数injury,意为“伤害;损伤”。
4.stretching 考查非谓语动词。句意:这片森林绵延十多英里,是各种野生动物的家园。分析句子可知,句中已有谓语动词,所以设空处应用非谓语动词,句子主语The forest和动词stretch之间为主动关系,故本空应用现在分词形式。故填stretching。

Ⅰ.◎语篇解读 本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了一位名叫马修·亨森的人在年轻时追求航海生涯,在一艘船上工作了五年,积累了丰富的航海经验。后来,他遇到了罗伯特·皮里,并与他一起前往北极探险。经过多年的努力,他们在1909年成功到达了北极,成为英雄。
1.D 细节理解题。根据第一段中“In 1880, fourteen-year-old Matthew Henson was fascinated by the tales of sailors' exciting lives at sea.”可知,马修·亨森对海上探险非常感兴趣。故选D。
2.B 主旨大意题。根据第三段中“One day in 1887, a man came in to buy a hat...He needed experienced men to accompany him.(1887年的一天,一个男人进来买帽子。这名男子是罗伯特·皮里,他问店主是否认识有海上经验的人。皮里不久将代表美国政府前往南美洲。他需要有经验的人陪伴他。)”可知,本段主要讲述了马修·亨森和罗伯特·皮里是如何遇到的。故选B。
3.C 词义猜测题。根据画线部分前“In 1908, Peary and Henson were ready to make their final attempt at reaching the North Pole. Both men were over forty years old.”以及“The years of hardship and suffering”可知,两人为了到达北极经历了许多艰苦的岁月,两人都已经年过四十了。由此推知,多年的艰苦困境不断地消磨着他们,削弱着他们。故画线部分与C项“削弱了他们”为同义表达。故选C。
4.B 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“In April 1909, Henson's instruments showed they were standing at the North Pole. Together Henson and Peary planted an American flag in the snow.”可知,二人经过努力,最终成功到达了北极。这个旅途非常艰难,两个人都吃了不少的苦头。由此推知,整个过程就像战士们在探索未知的土地。故选B。
【高频词汇】 1.set out启程;出发 2.accompany v.陪同,陪伴 3.have a great deal in common有很多共同之处 4.worthy adj.优秀的;值得尊敬的 5.hardship n.困难,艰苦
Ⅱ.◎语篇解读 这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了人们喜欢冒险的来源和科学依据。人们喜欢冒险,因为风险也意味着回报,生活中人们喜欢做一些让别人惊讶和害怕的事,这和人的大脑有关。
1.F 根据上文“Sometimes we decide...the risk seems worth taking.”可知,有时,我们认为一点不必要的危险是值得的,因为当我们权衡风险和回报时,风险似乎是值得承担的。F项(然而,我们并不是完全使用相同的参考标准来衡量风险和回报。)承接上文,形成转折关系。F项中的“weigh risks and rewards”和上文中“weigh the risk and the reward”呼应。
2.C 根据上文“Risk-takers were better at hunting, fighting, or exploring.”可知,冒险者更擅长打猎、打架或探险。C项(在那些方面做得更好意味着生存的机会更大。)承接上文。C项中的“Being better at those things”和上文中的“were better at hunting, fighting, or exploring”呼应。
3.A 根据上文“As a result...or maybe you hate it.”可知,人类形成了一系列至今仍然存在的性格类型,所以,也许你喜欢赛车,也许你讨厌赛车。A项(这都依据你的性格。)承接上文。A项中的“character”和上文中的“a range of character types”呼应。
4.E 根据上文“scientists say that your willingness to take risks increases during your teenage years(科学家说,在你十几岁的时候,你冒险的意愿会增加)”和下文“To help you do that, your brain increases your hunger for new experiences.(为了帮你做那件事,你的大脑会增加你对新的体验的渴望。)”可知,E项(这是当你开始离开你的家庭,走进更大的世界的时候。)承接上下文,符合语境。
5.G 根据下文“For the risk-seekers...becomes active.(对于寻求冒险的人来说,大脑中与快乐有关的部分变得活跃;而对于我们其他人来说,大脑中与恐惧有关的部分变得活跃。)”可知,不同的人的大脑在面对风险时表现会不一样。G项(新的大脑研究表明,当我们面对紧张的情况时,我们的大脑会以不同的方式工作。)承接下文。
【高频词汇】 1.reward n.回报 2.scare vt.使惊恐
3.end up with以……结束 4.tolerance n.容忍,忍受
5.along with和……一起 6.a range of一系列
【熟词生义】 1.weigh vt.认真考虑;权衡 2.hit vt.到达(某地)
长难句
原句 For the risk-seekers, a part of the brain related to pleasure becomes active, while for the rest of us, a part of the brain related to fear becomes active.
分析 本句为并列复合句,while连接前后两个并列分句,while意为“而,然而”,表示对比。“related to pleasure”与“related to fear”为形容词短语作后置定语。
译文 对于寻求风险的人来说,大脑中与快乐相关的部分变得活跃起来,而对于我们其他人来说,大脑中与恐惧相关的部分变得活跃起来。
Ⅲ.◎语篇解读 本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了Donna Urquhart的南极洲跑步挑战以及她通过这项挑战传递的积极信息。

5.C 根据上文“Urquhart spent 10 months training for the 2 ”可知,前面描述的一系列的训练其实就是准备工作,因此所有那些都证明是有用的准备工作(preparations)。purpose目的;message信息;suggestion建议。

Ⅰ.◎语篇解读 本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了一位名叫马修·亨森的人在年轻时追求航海生涯,在一艘船上工作了五年,积累了丰富的航海经验。后来,他遇到了罗伯特·皮里,并与他一起前往北极探险。经过多年的努力,他们在1909年成功到达了北极,成为英雄。
1.D 细节理解题。根据第一段中“In 1880, fourteen-year-old Matthew Henson was fascinated by the tales of sailors' exciting lives at sea.”可知,马修·亨森对海上探险非常感兴趣。故选D。
2.B 主旨大意题。根据第三段中“One day in 1887, a man came in to buy a hat...He needed experienced men to accompany him.(1887年的一天,一个男人进来买帽子。这名男子是罗伯特·皮里,他问店主是否认识有海上经验的人。皮里不久将代表美国政府前往南美洲。他需要有经验的人陪伴他。)”可知,本段主要讲述了马修·亨森和罗伯特·皮里是如何遇到的。故选B。
3.C 词义猜测题。根据画线部分前“In 1908, Peary and Henson were ready to make their final attempt at reaching the North Pole. Both men were over forty years old.”以及“The years of hardship and suffering”可知,两人为了到达北极经历了许多艰苦的岁月,两人都已经年过四十了。由此推知,多年的艰苦困境不断地消磨着他们,削弱着他们。故画线部分与C项“削弱了他们”为同义表达。故选C。
4.B 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“In April 1909, Henson's instruments showed they were standing at the North Pole. Together Henson and Peary planted an American flag in the snow.”可知,二人经过努力,最终成功到达了北极。这个旅途非常艰难,两个人都吃了不少的苦头。由此推知,整个过程就像战士们在探索未知的土地。故选B。

Ⅱ.◎语篇解读 这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了人们喜欢冒险的来源和科学依据。人们喜欢冒险,因为风险也意味着回报,生活中人们喜欢做一些让别人惊讶和害怕的事,这和人的大脑有关。
1.F 根据上文“Sometimes we decide...the risk seems worth taking.”可知,有时,我们认为一点不必要的危险是值得的,因为当我们权衡风险和回报时,风险似乎是值得承担的。F项(然而,我们并不是完全使用相同的参考标准来衡量风险和回报。)承接上文,形成转折关系。F项中的“weigh risks and rewards”和上文中“weigh the risk and the reward”呼应。
2.C 根据上文“Risk-takers were better at hunting, fighting, or exploring.”可知,冒险者更擅长打猎、打架或探险。C项(在那些方面做得更好意味着生存的机会更大。)承接上文。C项中的“Being better at those things”和上文中的“were better at hunting, fighting, or exploring”呼应。
3.A 根据上文“As a result...or maybe you hate it.”可知,人类形成了一系列至今仍然存在的性格类型,所以,也许你喜欢赛车,也许你讨厌赛车。A项(这都依据你的性格。)承接上文。A项中的“character”和上文中的“a range of character types”呼应。

5.G 根据下文“For the risk-seekers...becomes active.(对于寻求冒险的人来说,大脑中与快乐有关的部分变得活跃;而对于我们其他人来说,大脑中与恐惧有关的部分变得活跃。)”可知,不同的人的大脑在面对风险时表现会不一样。G项(新的大脑研究表明,当我们面对紧张的情况时,我们的大脑会以不同的方式工作。)承接下文。

5.along with和……一起 6.a range of一系列

长难句
原句 For the risk-seekers, a part of the brain related to pleasure becomes active, while for the rest of us, a part of the brain related to fear becomes active.
分析 本句为并列复合句,while连接前后两个并列分句,while意为“而,然而”,表示对比。“related to pleasure”与“related to fear”为形容词短语作后置定语。
译文 对于寻求风险的人来说,大脑中与快乐相关的部分变得活跃起来,而对于我们其他人来说,大脑中与恐惧相关的部分变得活跃起来。
