3．句(4)和(6)中动词-ing形式作表语。
v．-ing形式
v．-ing形式是英语中非谓语动词的重要组成部分，可以在句中充当主语、宾语、表语、定语、状语和补语等。此处重点讲解其作主语、宾语和表语的三种情况。
一、v.-ing形式作主语
1．v.-ing形式作主语往往表示经常性、习惯性的动作。
Lacking work experience made the new teacher have a hard time.
缺乏工作经验让这位新教师过得很艰难。
Playing basketball is one of my favorite sports.
打篮球是我最喜欢的运动之一。
2．v.-ing形式作主语有时也可以用it作形式主语。
用it作形式主语代替v.-ing形式，常出现在It is no use/good/pleasure/...doing sth；It is useless doing sth；It’s a waste of time doing sth等几种句式中。
It is no use crying over the spilt milk.
覆水难收。
It is really a waste of time chatting online.
在网上聊天真的是浪费时间。
3．v.-ing形式作主语泛指经常性的动作，而不定式作主语多表示特指的、一次性的、具体的动作。
Being invited to the palace ball made her excited.被邀请参加宫廷舞会使得她非常兴奋。
To be invited to the palace ball would be exciting.受邀参加这次宫廷舞会将是令人兴奋的事。
4．单个v.-ing形式作主语，谓语动词一般用单数形式。
Planting many trees is very good for our environment.植树对我们的环境非常有好处。
二、v.-ing形式作宾语
v．-ing形式作宾语分为两种情况，一种是作及物动词的宾语，另一种是作介词的宾语。
1．牢记下列常用v.-ing形式作宾语的动词：admit，appreciate，avoid，consider(考虑)，delay，enjoy，escape，imagine，mind，practise，risk，suggest，mention，miss，finish，keep，stand，allow，advise，permit等。
The teacher advised practising reading after the tape to improve my pronunciation.
老师建议跟着磁带读以提高我的发音。
2．一般只能接v.-ing形式作宾语的动词短语有：can’t help，end up，feel like，be busy (in)，prevent/stop/keep...from...，devote...to，look forward to，pay attention to，be accustomed to，get down to，stick to，lead to，object to等。
Many educationalists object to searching for answers through some apps.
许多教育家反对通过一些应用程序来搜索答案。
3．动词need，require，want意为“需要”时，后跟v.-ing形式的主动式或不定式的被动式作宾语，意义没有区别。
My cellphone needs repairing/to be repaired.
我的手机需要修理。
4．在有些动词如：start，begin，continue等词的后面，既可接v.-ing形式也可接不定式作宾语，两者意义区别不大。
They continued working/to work as if nothing had happened.
他们继续工作，似乎什么也没发生过。
5．在love，hate，prefer，like等动词后接v.-ing形式作宾语指经常性的动作，用不定式作宾语指具体的动作。

I prefer to stay at home this afternoon.
今天下午我宁愿留在家里。(用动词不定式作宾语，表示今天下午留在家里这一具体的动作)
6．有些动词和动词短语后跟动词不定式或v.-ing形式作宾语皆可，但含义不同。常见的有：
动词(短语) 宾语的形式 意义
forget to do 忘记去做……
doing 忘记做过……
remember to do 记着要去做……
doing 记得做过……
regret to do 遗憾/抱歉要做……
doing 后悔做了……
try to do 尽力/努力做……
doing 尝试做……

三、v.-ing形式作表语
作表语的v.-ing形式包括现在分词和动名词。
1．现在分词作表语，往往具有形容词的性质，用来说明主语的性质、特征等。作表语的现在分词，许多是由能够表示人们某种感情或情绪的动词变化而来的。常见的有：moving，interesting，encouraging，exciting，inspiring，boring，surprising，puzzling，amusing，astonishing等。这类分词表示“令人……的”，常修饰物。
The argument is very convincing.
这个论点很令人信服。
Your speech is very interesting and encouraging.你的演讲很有趣，也很鼓舞人心。
注意：不定式和v.-ed形式也可作表语，但不定式通常强调一次性的、具体的、将要发生的动作；v.-ed形式作表语表示外因使之具备的性质和特征，意为“感到……的”，常修饰人。
My wish is to find a part-time job this summer.
我的愿望就是今年夏天能找到一份兼职工作。
I was disappointed at this decision.
我对这个决定感到失望。
2．动名词作表语多表示抽象性的或习惯性的动作，一般说明主语的内容。
Her job is keeping the lecture hall as clean as possible.
＝Keeping the lecture hall as clean as possible is her job.
她的工作是尽量使报告厅保持干净。
四、v.-ing形式的否定形式
v．-ing形式的否定形式通常是在其前加not，带有逻辑主语时not应放在逻辑主语和v.-ing形式之间。
He was punished for not having finished his homework.他因未完成作业而受到惩罚。
His not coming added to our difficulty.
他没来，这增加了我们的困难。
五、v.-ing形式的复合结构
v．-ing形式的复合结构由物主代词或人称代词宾格、名词所有格或普通格加v.-ing，即“sb/sb’s＋doing”构成。v.-ing形式的复合结构实际上是给v.-ing形式加了一个逻辑主语。v.-ing形式的复合结构有四种形式：
1．形容词性物主代词＋v.-ing
2．名词所有格＋v.-ing
3．名词＋v.-ing
4．人称代词宾格＋v.-ing
Her coming to help encouraged all of us.
她来帮忙鼓舞了我们所有人。
Can you imagine his/him/Jack’s/Jack cooking at home？你能想象他/杰克在家做饭的样子吗？

(2)无生命名词无论是作主语还是作宾语都不能用第2种形式。

(2025·陕西渭南高二上期中)
Now Isaac Winfield，a kind-hearted 11-year-old boy，needs to buy more sheds(棚) to store the donated items.
“We’d always donated to the local food banks，and he always helped deliver food packages to the needy，” said his mom Claire，who added that recently Isaac had moved to a specialist school that didn’t have a similar program，leaving him frustrated that he couldn’t continue to help people.
“But the tough boy didn’t stop.He said，‘We’ll give them food at my house，’” said Claire.“He used his own birthday money to launch a food bank service which he runs from his garden shed.He fills bags of groceries(食品杂货) and hands them out to the needy around his hometown.” His parents give him a lift at weekends，but sometimes it’s Isaac who takes the bags of groceries to people on foot.Those in need are also able to go to Isaac’s food bank shed，which is open round the clock，and help themselves.
“At the beginning，he put all the food he bought in a little greenhouse with some lights and started offering it from there，” Claire remembered.“Someone spotted it and put it on one of those social media community sites and it went mad.The greenhouse lasted four weeks before I had to go and get a shed because we ran out of room.” Now Isaac is planning to open his second food bank in the town and has a local charity sponsoring(赞助) him.
Isaac was born with a rare chromosome(染色体) disease，and the food bank has helped “massively” with his confidence，as he can’t read or write.“For his 11th birthday，he just wants to get as many donations in as possible to help as many people as he can，” said Claire.Isaac has now been nominated(提名) for a local business award.
语篇解读 本文是一篇新闻报道。文章讲述了11岁的小男孩Isaac Winfield用自己的生日礼金建立了一个食物银行，帮助有需要的人，并因此获得当地的商业奖提名。
1．What does the underlined word “frustrated” in paragraph 2 mean
A．Confused. B．Surprised.
C．Upset. D．Satisfied.
答案 C
解析 词义猜测题。根据上文可知，他们一直向当地的食物银行捐款，帮助别人。结合画线词所在句可知，Isaac后来就读的学校没有类似食物银行的项目，他不能继续帮助别人了，这让他感到很沮丧。下文中男孩继续帮助别人的举动说明帮助别人才能令他快乐。故画线词意思是“难过的，沮丧的”，与upset相近。故选C。
2．What do we know about Isaac’s food bank
A．It was established at his new school.
B．It was funded by a local charity.
C．It hires locals to deliver food.
D．It is open 24 hours a day.
答案 D
解析 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Those in need are also able to go to Isaac’s food bank shed，which is open round the clock，and help themselves.”可知，Isaac开设的食物银行24小时营业。故选D。
3．How did locals react to Isaac’s food bank according to paragraph 4
A．They considered it as useless.
B．They gave some advice on it.
C．They showed great interest in it.
D．They donated lots of money to it.
答案 C
解析 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Someone spotted it...and it went mad.The greenhouse lasted four weeks before I had to go and get a shed because we ran out of room.”可知，仅过了四周，Isaac开设的食物银行的场地便不够用了，因此推知当地人对Isaac的食物银行表现出了极大的兴趣。故选C。
4．What does the food bank do for Isaac
A．It cures him of a disease.
B．It improves his confidence.
C．It costs him too much money.
D．It has a bad influence on his studies.
答案 B
解析 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“Isaac was born with a rare chromosome(染色体) disease，and the food bank has helped ‘massively’ with his confidence，as he can’t read or write.”可知，筹办食物银行来帮助有需要的人，这让患有罕见染色体疾病的Isaac信心增强。故选B。

(2025·浙江高二上期中)
O．Henry(1862－1910) was an American short story author whose real name was William Sydney Porter.Henry’s works reflected his wide range of experiences and are distinctive for its witticism(俏皮话)，clever wordplay，and unexpected twist endings.
Like many other writers，O.Henry’s early career aims were unfocused and he wandered across different activities and professions before he finally found his calling as a short story writer.He started working in his uncle’s drugstore in 1879.Later，he moved to Texas where he lived on a farm and learned sheep shepherding，cooking，babysitting，and bits of Spanish and German from the many migrant farmhands.
Over the next several years，he took a number of different jobs，from drafting to journalism，and banking，but he was careless with accounting，thus fired by the bank and charged with a crime in 1894.He fled the day before the trial in 1896，first to New Orleans，then to Honduras，where he learned his wife was dying and could not join him，so he returned to Austin and turned himself into the court.His father-in-law helped him out so he could remain with his wife until her death in 1897.Later he was sentenced and served in Federal prison in Ohio from 1898 to 1902.
The many twists and turns of O．Henry’s own life，including his travels in Latin America and time spent in prison，clearly inspired his stories’ twists and wordplay.His prolific writing period began in 1902 in New York City，where he wrote many short stories which show his obvious affection for this City and its diversity of people and places.O.Henry’s trademark is his witty，plot-twisting endings，and his warm characterization of the awkward and difficult situations and the creative ways people find to deal with them，which typically features in his work like The Last Leaf，The Gift of the Magi，etc.All of his stories are highly entertaining，whether read for pleasure or studied in classrooms around the world.
Unfortunately，O.Henry’s personal tragedy was heavy drinking.He died in 1910 of several diseases.He was a gifted short story writer and left us a rich legacy of great stories to enjoy.
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了美国著名短篇小说家欧·亨利的生平经历。文章通过欧·亨利的人生故事，展现了他在苦难中寻找美和意义的能力，以及苦难对他文学创作的影响。
5．What happened to O．Henry in his early life
A．He took up writing as his lifelong profession early on.
B．He had a pretty good command of Spanish and German.
C．He engaged himself with numerous jobs to experience life.
D．He failed to live a stable life and switched jobs for a living.
答案 D
解析 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Like many other writers，O.Henry’s early career aims were unfocused and he wandered across different activities and professions before he finally found his calling as a short story writer.”以及第二、三段对他的生活的描写可知，他早期生活不稳定，换了很多工作来维持生计，故选D。
6．What does the underlined word “prolific” in paragraph 4 mean
A．Relevant. B．Productive.
C．Profitable. D．Original.
答案 B
解析 词义猜测题。根据画线词所在句可知，他的写作时期始于1902年的纽约市，在那里他写了很多短篇小说，所以prolific意为“多产的”，故选B。
7．Which of the following words can best describe O．Henry’s works
A．Educational and tragic.

Having more money isn’t always possible，but happiness doesn’t have to cost a lot.In fact，finding creative ways to enjoy life without spending much can bring even greater joy.Here are some tips for being happier when you’re on a budget.
Purchase experiences，not things.
Instead of buying material items，spend your money on experiences like trips，concerts，or meals out. 1 You don’t need a fancy vacation to make unforgettable memories; simple activities like playing soccer in the park with family or hiking in a national park can be just as fulfilling.
2
Time stress is a real burden on people，and anything that you can do to reduce the stress will make you happier.People who spend money on time-saving technology and services report feeling happier for longer.This is because outsourcing(将……交外办理) boring tasks，like house cleaning or doing taxes，frees you up to spend time with loved ones or practice self-care.
Spend money according to your values.
Take the time to think about your core values，or what is the most important to you，and make a list of priorities based on those values. 3 It helps you focus on what truly brings you satisfaction and avoid wasting money on less important things.
Invest in others.
Buying someone a gift，donating money to a cause you value，giving change to a homeless person，volunteering your time—all these things will make you feel so much happier than spending the money on something for yourself. 4
You don’t need a big unexpected fortune to be happy. 5 Make sure your basic needs are met，then invest in others and experiences.It’s the only strategy for buying your way to a happier life.
A．Buy yourself time.
B．Handle time stress properly.
C．Use this list to guide your spending.
D．You simply have to shift your spending strategy.
E．You need to take your tight budget into consideration.
F．These create lasting memories and help you connect with others.
G．Acts of kindness and generosity often lead to a greater sense of fulfillment.
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章表明幸福并不一定要花费很多，主要介绍了一些不用花太多钱就能享受生活的创造性方法。
1．答案 F
解析 根据前文可知，应该把钱花在体验上而不是将钱花在物品上。结合后文可知，F选项中的“lasting memories”与前文中的“experiences”相呼应，“connect with others”与后文中的“playing soccer in the park with family”相呼应，说明体验能带来持久的记忆和人与人之间的联系，因此选F。
2．答案 A
解析 此处为本段小标题。根据后文“People who spend money on time-saving technology and services report feeling happier for longer.(花钱购买节省时间的技术和服务的人幸福感更强)”可知，人们购买节省时间的技术和服务是为自己节约时间、争取时间，因此选A。
3．答案 C
解析 前文提到“Take the time to think about your core values，or what is the most important to you，and make a list of priorities based on those values.(花点时间思考你的核心价值观，或者对你来说最重要的是什么，并根据这些价值观列出一个优先事项清单)”，C选项中的“this list”与前文中的“a list of priorities”相呼应，因此选C。
4．答案 G
解析 前文提到给别人买礼物，或志愿奉献你的时间等，这些都会让你觉得比把钱花在自己身上更快乐，G选项中的“kindness and generosity”与前文中的“Buying someone a gift，donating money to a cause you value，giving change to a homeless person，volunteering your time”相呼应，强调善举和慷慨带来的满足感，因此选G。
5．答案 D
解析 由前文“You don’t need a big unexpected fortune to be happy.”以及后文“Make sure your basic needs are met，then invest in others and experiences.”可知，空处承上启下，D选项中的“shift your spending strategy”与后文中的“invest in others and experiences”呼应，强调只需改变消费策略即可，因此选D。

语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了传统中医 TCM 有着三千多年的历史，与中华历史文化紧密相关，文章介绍了其发展过程、理念以及在世界上的影响。
1．答案 has been practised
解析 考查动词时态、语态和主谓一致。根据时间状语for over 3,000 years可知，用现在完成时。which指代先行词TCM，在从句中作主语，主语为单数，又因为TCM和practise之间是被动关系，所以用现在完成时的被动语态，故填has been practised。
2．答案 a
解析 考查冠词。神农是古代神话中的一个人物，a figure表示“一个人物”，此处表泛指，故填不定冠词a。
3．答案 that
解析 考查定语从句。先行词是anything，在定语从句中作主语，故该定语从句的引导词用that。故填that。
4．答案 fighting
解析 考查非谓语动词。in the process of...意思是“在……的过程中”，其中of是介词，后面接动名词或动名词的复合结构作宾语，them指代the people，且people和fight之间是主动关系，故填fighting。
5．答案 more effective
解析 考查形容词比较级。根据后面的than western medicine可知，这里要用比较级，effective是多音节形容词，其比较级是more effective。故填more effective。
6．答案 and
解析 考查连词。“some medicine and food share the same origin”和“that the same kind of material can be part of the recipes of both medicine and food”是两个并列的宾语从句，应用and连接。故填and。
7．答案 for
解析 考查介词。win the Nobel Prize for...是固定搭配，意思是“因……而获得诺贝尔奖”。故填for。
8．答案 rooted

9．答案 widely
解析 考查副词。此处应用副词widely作状语修饰谓语，表示“广泛地”。故填widely。
10．答案 treatments

v.-ing形式
v.-ing形式是英语中非谓语动词的重要组成部分，可以在句中充当主语、宾语、表语、定语、状语和补语等。此处重点讲解其作主语、宾语和表语的三种情况。
一、v.-ing形式作主语
1.v.-ing形式作主语往往表示经常性、习惯性的动作。
Lacking work experience made the new teacher have a hard time.
缺乏工作经验让这位新教师过得很艰难。
语法精讲
Playing basketball is one of my favorite sports.
打篮球是我最喜欢的运动之一。
2.v.-ing形式作主语有时也可以用it作形式主语。
用it作形式主语代替v.-ing形式，常出现在It is no use/good/pleasure/...doing sth；It is useless doing sth；It’s a waste of time doing sth等几种句式中。
It is no use crying over the spilt milk.
覆水难收。
It is really a waste of time chatting online.
在网上聊天真的是浪费时间。
3.v.-ing形式作主语泛指经常性的动作，而不定式作主语多表示特指的、一次性的、具体的动作。
Being invited to the palace ball made her excited.被邀请参加宫廷舞会使得她非常兴奋。
To be invited to the palace ball would be exciting.受邀参加这次宫廷舞会将是令人兴奋的事。
4.单个v.-ing形式作主语，谓语动词一般用单数形式。
Planting many trees is very good for our environment.植树对我们的环境非常有好处。
二、v.-ing形式作宾语
v.-ing形式作宾语分为两种情况，一种是作及物动词的宾语，另一种是作介词的宾语。
1.牢记下列常用v.-ing形式作宾语的动词：admit，appreciate，avoid，consider(考虑)，delay，enjoy，escape，imagine，mind，practise，risk，suggest，mention，miss，finish，keep，stand，allow，advise，permit等。
The teacher advised practising reading after the tape to improve my pronunciation.
老师建议跟着磁带读以提高我的发音。
2.一般只能接v.-ing形式作宾语的动词短语有：can’t help，end up，feel like，be busy (in)，prevent/stop/keep...from...，devote...to，look forward to，pay attention to，be accustomed to，get down to，stick to，lead to，object to等。
Many educationalists object to searching for answers through some apps.
许多教育家反对通过一些应用程序来搜索答案。
3.动词need，require，want意为“需要”时，后跟v.-ing形式的主动式或不定式的被动式作宾语，意义没有区别。
My cellphone needs repairing/to be repaired.
我的手机需要修理。
4.在有些动词如：start，begin，continue等词的后面，既可接v.-ing形式也可接不定式作宾语，两者意义区别不大。
They continued working/to work as if nothing had happened.
他们继续工作，似乎什么也没发生过。
5.在love，hate，prefer，like等动词后接v.-ing形式作宾语指经常性的动作，用不定式作宾语指具体的动作。
He preferred staying in the house when it rained.下雨时他宁愿待在家里。(用v.-ing形式作宾语，指每逢下雨都待在家里)
I prefer to stay at home this afternoon.
今天下午我宁愿留在家里。(用动词不定式作宾语，表示今天下午留在家里这一具体的动作)
6.有些动词和动词短语后跟动词不定式或v.-ing形式作宾语皆可，但含义不同。常见的有：
动词(短语) 宾语的形式 意义
forget to do 忘记去做……
doing 忘记做过……
remember to do 记着要去做……
doing 记得做过……
regret to do 遗憾/抱歉要做……
doing 后悔做了……
try to do 尽力/努力做……
doing 尝试做……
动词(短语) 宾语的形式 意义
mean to do 打算做……
doing 意味着……
stop to do 停下来去做(另外一件事)
doing 停止做(同一件事)
go on to do 接着做(另外一件事)
doing 接着做(同一件事)

He means to write a book about his life experiences.他打算写一本有关他人生经历的书。
Missing the train means waiting for another hour.错过了这班火车就意味着要再等一个小时。
三、v.-ing形式作表语
作表语的v.-ing形式包括现在分词和动名词。
1.现在分词作表语，往往具有形容词的性质，用来说明主语的性质、特征等。作表语的现在分词，许多是由能够表示人们某种感情或情绪的动词变化而来的。常见的有：moving，interesting，encouraging，exciting，inspiring，boring，surprising，puzzling，amusing，astonishing等。这类分词表示“令人……的”，常修饰物。
The argument is very convincing.这个论点很令人信服。
Your speech is very interesting and encouraging.你的演讲很有趣，也很鼓舞人心。
注意：不定式和v.-ed形式也可作表语，但不定式通常强调一次性的、具体的、将要发生的动作；v.-ed形式作表语表示外因使之具备的性质和特征，意为“感到……的”，常修饰人。
My wish is to find a part-time job this summer.
我的愿望就是今年夏天能找到一份兼职工作。
I was disappointed at this decision.
我对这个决定感到失望。
2.动名词作表语多表示抽象性的或习惯性的动作，一般说明主语的内容。
Her job is keeping the lecture hall as clean as possible.
＝Keeping the lecture hall as clean as possible is her job.
她的工作是尽量使报告厅保持干净。
四、v.-ing形式的否定形式
v.-ing形式的否定形式通常是在其前加not，带有逻辑主语时not应放在逻辑主语和v.-ing形式之间。
He was punished for not having finished his homework.他因未完成作业而受到惩罚。
His not coming added to our difficulty.
他没来，这增加了我们的困难。
五、v.-ing形式的复合结构
v.-ing形式的复合结构由物主代词或人称代词宾格、名词所有格或普通格加v.-ing，即“sb/sb’s＋doing”构成。v.-ing形式的复合结构实际上是给 v.-ing形式加了一个逻辑主语。v.-ing形式的复合结构有四种形式：
1.形容词性物主代词＋v.-ing
2.名词所有格＋v.-ing
3.名词＋v.-ing
4.人称代词宾格＋v.-ing
Her coming to help encouraged all of us.
她来帮忙鼓舞了我们所有人。
Can you imagine his/him/Jack’s/Jack cooking at home？你能想象他/杰克在家做饭的样子吗？
注意：(1)v.-ing形式的复合结构可在句中作主语或宾语。作主语时，不能用第3、4两种形式。
(2)无生命名词无论是作主语还是作宾语都不能用第2种形式。

Now Isaac Winfield，a kind-hearted 11-year-old boy，needs to buy more sheds(棚) to store the donated items.
语篇解读 本文是一篇新闻报道。文章讲述了11岁的小男孩Isaac Winfield用自己的生日礼金建立了一个食物银行，帮助有需要的人，并因此获得当地的商业奖提名。
Ⅲ.主题语篇阅读
“We’d always donated to the local food banks，and he always helped deliver food packages to the needy，” said his mom Claire，who added that recently Isaac had moved to a specialist school that didn’t have a similar program，leaving him frustrated that he couldn’t continue to help people.
“But the tough boy didn’t stop.He said，‘We’ll give them food at my house，’” said Claire.“He used his own birthday money to launch a food bank service which he runs from his garden shed.He fills bags of groceries(食品杂货) and hands them out to the needy around his hometown.” His parents give him a lift at weekends，but sometimes it’s Isaac who takes the bags of groceries to people on foot.Those in need are also able to go to Isaac’s food bank shed，which is open round the clock，and help themselves.
“At the beginning，he put all the food he bought in a little greenhouse with some lights and started offering it from there，” Claire remembered.“Someone spotted it and put it on one of those social media community sites and it went mad.The greenhouse lasted four weeks before I had to go and get a shed because we ran out of room.” Now Isaac is planning to open his second food bank in the town and has a local charity sponsoring(赞助) him.
Isaac was born with a rare chromosome(染色体) disease，and the food bank has helped “massively” with his confidence，as he can’t read or write.“For his 11th birthday，he just wants to get as many donations in as possible to help as many people as he can，” said Claire.Isaac has now been nominated(提名) for a local business award.
1.What does the underlined word “frustrated” in paragraph 2 mean
A.Confused. B.Surprised.
C.Upset. D.Satisfied.
√
词义猜测题。根据上文可知，他们一直向当地的食物银行捐款，帮助别人。结合画线词所在句可知，Isaac后来就读的学校没有类似食物银行的项目，他不能继续帮助别人了，这让他感到很沮丧。下文中男孩继续帮助别人的举动说明帮助别人才能令他快乐。故画线词意思是“难过的，沮丧的”，与upset相近。故选C。
解析
2.What do we know about Isaac’s food bank
A.It was established at his new school.
B.It was funded by a local charity.
C.It hires locals to deliver food.
D.It is open 24 hours a day.
√
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Those in need are also able to go to Isaac’s food bank shed，which is open round the clock，and help themselves.”可知，Isaac开设的食物银行24小时营业。故选D。
解析
3.How did locals react to Isaac’s food bank according to paragraph 4
A.They considered it as useless.
B.They gave some advice on it.
C.They showed great interest in it.
D.They donated lots of money to it.
√
推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Someone spotted it...and it went mad.The greenhouse lasted four weeks before I had to go and get a shed because we ran out of room.”可知，仅过了四周，Isaac开设的食物银行的场地便不够用了，因此推知当地人对Isaac的食物银行表现出了极大的兴趣。故选C。
解析
4.What does the food bank do for Isaac
A.It cures him of a disease.
B.It improves his confidence.
C.It costs him too much money.
D.It has a bad influence on his studies.
√
细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“Isaac was born with a rare chromosome(染色体) disease，and the food bank has helped ‘massively’ with his confidence，as he can’t read or write.”可知，筹办食物银行来帮助有需要的人，这让患有罕见染色体疾病的Isaac信心增强。故选B。

O.Henry(1862－1910) was an American short story author whose real name was William Sydney Porter.Henry’s works reflected his wide range of experiences and are distinctive for its witticism(俏皮话)，clever wordplay，and unexpected twist endings.
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了美国著名短篇小说家欧·亨利的生平经历。文章通过欧·亨利的人生故事，展现了他在苦难中寻找美和意义的能力，以及苦难对他文学创作的影响。
Like many other writers，O.Henry’s early career aims were unfocused and he wandered across different activities and professions before he finally found his calling as a short story writer.He started working in his uncle’s drugstore in 1879.Later，he moved to Texas where he lived on a farm and learned sheep shepherding，cooking，babysitting，and bits of Spanish and German from the many migrant farmhands.
Over the next several years，he took a number of different jobs，from drafting to journalism，and banking，but he was careless with accounting，thus fired by the bank and charged with a crime in 1894.He fled the day before the trial in 1896，first to New Orleans，then to Honduras，where he learned his wife was dying and could not join him，so he returned to Austin and turned himself into the court.His father-in-law helped him out so he could remain with his wife until her death in 1897.Later he was sentenced and served in Federal prison in Ohio from 1898 to 1902.
The many twists and turns of O.Henry’s own life，including his travels in Latin America and time spent in prison，clearly inspired his stories’ twists and wordplay.His prolific writing period began in 1902 in New York City，where he wrote many short stories which show his obvious affection for this City and its diversity of people and places.O.Henry’s trademark is his witty，plot-twisting endings，and his warm characterization of the awkward and difficult situations and the creative ways people find to deal with them，which typically features in his work like The Last Leaf，The Gift of the Magi，etc.All of his stories are highly entertaining，whether read for pleasure or studied in classrooms around the world.
Unfortunately，O.Henry’s personal tragedy was heavy drinking.He died in 1910 of several diseases.He was a gifted short story writer and left us a rich legacy of great stories to enjoy.
5.What happened to O.Henry in his early life
A.He took up writing as his lifelong profession early on.
B.He had a pretty good command of Spanish and German.
C.He engaged himself with numerous jobs to experience life.
D.He failed to live a stable life and switched jobs for a living.
√
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Like many other writers，O.Henry’s early career aims were unfocused and he wandered across different activities and professions before he finally found his calling as a short story writer.”以及第二、三段对他的生活的描写可知，他早期生活不稳定，换了很多工作来维持生计，故选D。
解析
6.What does the underlined word “prolific” in paragraph 4 mean
A.Relevant. B.Productive.
C.Profitable. D.Original.
√
词义猜测题。根据画线词所在句可知，他的写作时期始于1902年的纽约市，在那里他写了很多短篇小说，所以prolific意为“多产的”，故选B。
解析
7.Which of the following words can best describe O.Henry’s works
A.Educational and tragic.
B.Unpredictable and serious.
C.Fascinating and twisty.
D.Extraordinary and formal.
√
推理判断题。根据第四段最后两句可知，欧·亨利的作品特点是诙谐、情节曲折的结局，并且他写的故事都极具娱乐性，故选C。
解析
8.What does O.Henry’s life story convey
A.More haste，less speed.
B.Time and tide wait for no man.
C.He who laughs last laughs best.
D.Suffering is a stepping stone to genius.
√
推理判断题。通读全文可知，欧·亨利一生经历坎坷，他早期职业目标并不明确，在不同的活动和职业中徘徊，生活曲折，甚至还有入狱的经历，但这些经历激发了他的写作灵感，使他成为一位极具天赋的短篇小说家，所以他的人生故事传达了“苦难对于天才是一块垫脚石”的观点，故选D。
