[学会断句] 本句中包含两个定语从句和一个由once引导的条件状语从句。they expect是定语从句,先行词为success;they will do也是定语从句,先行词为things,关系词在从句中作宾语,故省略。

2.Jason Harley decided to drop out of this kind of lifestyle,and he discovered that having only a little money made him free.
[学会断句] 本句是一个表示顺承关系的并列句,由and连接。第二个分句中又包含一个由that引导的宾语从句,其中having only a little money为动词 ing形式短语作主语。

Angela Johnson interviews ex-millionaire Jason Harley
For a lot of people,becoming a millionaire[1] is a symbol① of success and they set this as② their ultimate③ goal.They spend half of their time dreaming up④ ways of getting rich and achieving the success they expect[2],and the rest of their time thinking about all the things they will do[3] once they become rich[4].But do all millionaires get the sense of success⑤ they were looking for after they achieve their goals Some continue to worry about money when they become millionaires—they worked hard to become wealthy⑥,but then they need to continue making money so they don’t lose the sense of success they have achieved.However,there are people who have turned their backs on⑦ their millions and found other forms of success in their lives.Jason Harley is one example.

[3]省略了关系代词that的定语从句,修饰先行词all the things。
[4] once引导条件状语从句,在此作连词用,意为“一旦……”。
Sixteen years ago,Jason was a college professor⑧ with a huge six-bedroom house and a fortune⑨ of two million dollars.Today he lives in a small dormitory⑩ room with only second-hand furniture .There are certainly no signs that Jason is a rich and successful man[5]!There is a small garden outside with a few fruit trees,which Jason enjoys taking care of[6].He also grows some vegetables and a few flowers.He gets his clothes and a lot of other things from charity shops.
[5] that引导同位语从句,作signs的同位语。

But Jason appreciates this change.He is pleased to give up the lifestyle of a rich man.He was tired of being regarded as living a successful life,as a person who had everything while many people had nothing[7].He made the choice to give all his money away [8].And this,he said,brought him happiness and a sense of success in life.
[7] as与前面的regarded连用,意为“作为”;who引导的定语从句修饰先行词person;while在此意为“而,然而”。
[8]不定式短语作the choice的同位语。
“I don’t need a lot of money.I don’t want to buy more things.I have enough,”said Jason.“What I want is to live simply and be helpful to others.[9] A few years ago,I was a millionaire,but I knew millions of people died of hunger every year,and there were places with no schools and no teachers.So many people could never go to school.They didn’t have the chance to learn and get on in life.This worried me a lot and I felt very guilty being a rich man without doing anything[10].”
[9]what引导主语从句。并列的不定式短语作表语,be helpful前省略to。
[10]动词-ing形式短语作原因状语。
Therefore he gave away all his money to charities.Whenever he had more than two thousand dollars[11],he would give away small bank notes to homeless people in the streets of local areas.“It was a kind of satisfaction and a real sense of success that I had never felt before[12],” said Jason.“Sure,many people think that ‘success’ means having millions in the bank or a well-paid job.But I think my sense of achievement comes from helping others and finding true meaning in life.”
[11]whenever在此意为“每当”,引导时间状语从句。
[12]that在此引导定语从句,修饰前面两个并列的先行词。that在从句中作宾语。
Most people believe when they are living comfortably and earning enough money,they will have no worries.However,most people never feel they have earned enough.Jason Harley decided to drop out of this kind of lifestyle,and he discovered that having only a little money made him free.Are there any things he misses from his past “No,I’m much happier now,because I am living according to my values.Success is not measured by how much money you have but by how you understand the true meaning of life.[13]”
[13]该句包含“not...but...”结构,意为“不是……而是……”,两个介词by后各接一个how引导的宾语从句。“not...but...”连接并列成分作主语时,谓语动词与but后的成分在人称和数上保持一致。

[参考译文] 安吉拉·约翰逊采访前百万富翁詹森·哈利
对于很多人来说,成为百万富翁是成功的象征,并且他们将此作为最终目标。他们花一半时间想象各种发财和达到他们期望的成功的方法,另一半时间则用来考虑一旦发了财他们会干什么。但是,百万富翁们都在实现目标后获得所寻求的成功感了吗 有些人成为百万富翁后仍然担心金钱问题——他们努力工作,变得富有,但他们需要继续赚钱,这样才不会丧失已经获得的成功感。然而有些人却放弃了百万家财,找到了人生中其他形式的成功。詹森·哈利就是一个例子。
十六年前,詹森是一名大学教授,拥有一套六居室的大房子和两百万美元的巨款。现在他住在一间只有二手家具的小宿舍里。显然没有迹象能表明詹森是一个富有而成功的人! 房子外面有一个小花园,种了几棵果树,詹森很喜欢侍弄它们。他还种了一些蔬菜和花。他从慈善商店买衣服和许多其他的东西。
但是詹森很欣赏这种改变。他很高兴能放弃富人的生活方式。自己应有尽有,而许多人一无所有,他厌倦了被认为过着成功的生活。他决定把自己的钱财都捐赠出去。他说这给他的生活带来了快乐和成功感。
“我不需要很多钱,也不想再买更多的东西。我拥有的已经够多了。”詹森说,“我想要简单地生活并能帮助别人。几年前,我是百万富翁,但我知道每年有数百万人死于饥饿,而且有些地方没有学校和老师。很多人永远不能上学,他们没有接受教育和开启新生活的机会。这让我非常担心,作为一位富人不能有所作为,我感到非常内疚。”
因此,他把所有的钱都捐给了慈善机构。每当他的钱超过两千美元时,他就会把小额钞票赠送给当地街道上无家可归的人。“这是一种我从未感受过的满足感和真正的成功感。”詹森说,“当然,很多人认为‘成功’意味着有数百万银行存款或高薪的工作。但我认为我的成就感来自帮助他人并找到生活真正的意义。”
大多数人相信,当他们生活舒适并赚到足够的钱时,就可以高枕无忧了。但是,大多数人从未觉得自己赚够了。詹森·哈利决定放弃这种生活方式,他发现只拥有少量金钱使他获得了自由。 和过去相比,他错过了什么吗 “不,现在我更开心,因为我依照自己的价值观生活。衡量成功与否不在于你有多少金钱,而在于你如何理解生命的真正意义。”
Ⅰ.阅读理解(每小题2.5分,共30分)
A
I grew up in a poor family.This was something I did not realize until I was older.I thought everyone in the city took the bus,because everyone in my neighborhood took the bus.I thought everyone in the city used the food bank,because all my friends’ cupboards were filled with the same government labeled food that filled my cupboards.We all wore hand me down clothes.
Grocery shopping was my first experience understanding that my family was a little different.My mom used paper money that looked different from the paper money others in line were using.However,one day,I asked my mom why our money looked different.She said because we did not have real money to buy food,so the government helped us.
In high school,I was still embarrassed and wished we were not so poor,but I loved my mom and the other members of my family and knew we had things to be proud of.My mother who was a great woman with wisdom taught me how to love and told me to believe in myself.Growing up in poverty taught me perseverance (毅力).I have always believed in myself and my abilities.I knew I could focus on school and build a life that looked different from my childhood.
As I became a man,I thought my experiences are very useful and vital! It taught me to be resilient (有韧性的),and how to respect people for who they are as an individual—and not by what they have.I think there are a lot of fixed images placed on those experiencing poverty that do not actually come from the people experiencing it.These judgments come from people on the outside trying not to look into the experience.Hardworking,trustworthy,reliable,clean,efficient,successful and disciplined are all words not typically associated with poverty.But those words are very much shown by those experiencing poverty! Therefore,I am glad to say I am really proud to be who I am and proud of where I’m from!

Eugene Newman Parker,a leading figure in heliospheric (日球层的) physics for the past half century,passed away peacefully at his home in Chicago on Mar.15.He was 94.
Acknowledged as a visionary in the field of heliophysics,Parker changed our understanding of the sun and its effects on Earth and other bodies within the solar system.NASA even stated that “the field of heliophysics exists in large part because of Dr.Eugene Parker”.In 2018,Parker became the first living scientist to witness the launch of a spacecraft that was named in his honor.
Parker is best known for his groundbreaking theory on the existence of a phenomenon called “solar wind”,a continuous stream of charged particles that flow off the sun.It can become violent,causing space weather that impacts the Earth.When Parker’s research was published in 1958,his theory was initially met with skepticism (怀疑) and ridicule by the scientific community.The general view at the time was that the space between planets was an absolute vacuum (真空),and was thus completely empty of any matter.But,there were no errors in his study or his calculations,and the theory was later proven to be correct in 1962,when a NASA spacecraft mission to Venus revealed the constant presence of a supersonic wind—exactly as Parker had predicted.
That experience likely led to the advice Parker often gave young researchers:“If you do something new or innovative,expect trouble.But think critically about it because if you’re wrong,you want to be the first one to know that.” Parker never co authored a paper with his students,thus urging them to be independent.
Parker was humble,straightforward,and wise.His son Eric said,“My sister Joyce and I didn’t get a real feel for what a ‘big dog’ our dad was in the field.” They got an even better sense when a month after Parker’s death,they traveled to Lund,Sweden,to accept on his behalf the Crafoord Prize in Astronomy.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要报道了太阳物理学的领军人物——尤金·纽曼·帕克的贡献以及他对年轻人的影响。
5.What can we learn from the second paragraph
A.A spacecraft was named in memory of Parker.
B.The sun has less effect on Earth than expected.
C.Parker deserved credit for his great contributions.
D.NASA provided new insights into the lunar effect.
答案 C [推理判断题。根据第二段中“Acknowledged as a visionary in...within the solar system.”以及“NASA even stated that...of Dr.Eugene Parker’.”可知,帕克对整个太阳物理学领域做出了极大的贡献,他是值得赞扬的,故选C项。]
6.Why did people view Parker’s theory of “solar wind” skeptically at first
A.Some mistakes were found in his calculations.
B.It went against the popular opinion at that time.
C.The presence of a supersonic wind was proven by NASA.
D.Matter was believed to exist in the space between planets.
答案 B [细节理解题。根据第三段中“When Parker’s research was published...by the scientific community.”以及“The general view at the...completely empty of any matter.”可知,人们起初对帕克的“太阳风”理论持怀疑态度是因为它违背了当时的主流观点,故选B项。]
7.What advice did Parker often give to young researchers
A.Expect challenges and critically evaluate your work.
B.Stick to conventional methods to minimize risks.
C.Depend on your professor for decision making.
D.Cooperate frequently to ensure success.
答案 A [细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“That experience likely led to...the first one to know that.”可知,帕克给年轻人的建议是,做创新工作难免遇到麻烦,但要批判性地思考,由此可知,帕克经常给年轻研究人员的建议是做好面对挑战的准备并且批判性地评估你的工作,故选A项。]
8.What words can be used to describe Parker according to the passage
A.Responsible and accessible.
B.Straightforward and generous.
C.Distinguished yet modest.
D.Intelligent yet peculiar.
答案 C [推理判断题。根据第二段中“Acknowledged as a visionary in...bodies within the solar system.”可知,帕克是一位有杰出成就的人,结合最后一段中“Parker was humble,straightforward,and wise.(帕克谦逊、直率、睿智。)”可知,帕克是杰出但谦逊的,故选C项。]

Like many Americans,my father,Kenneth Hamilton,must have heard Paul Robeson sing over the radio at one time or another.He must have read about Robeson’s extraordinary feats of daring and skill on the football fields of Rutgers.“I imagine,” he would begin,“that Mr.Paul Robeson woke up one morning to find there was more to the day than playing football.I know I did (my father played football for Iowa State).I imagine he looked around him.He saw that plenty of his people already were preachers;there were enough morticians (殡仪业者) to reach from here to kingdom to come.I imagine Mr.Robeson decided then and there he would be what there never had been before.And he was.”
I don’t recall Kenneth Hamilton ever saying what it was Paul Robeson became besides a football star.But surely he was referring to Robeson’s powerful singing voice.Yet what came through clearly to me at the time was this:If one were to become anything,it would have to be not only the best but wholly original,a new idea.This concept sank deep into my consciousness.Imperceptibly (不知不觉地),I grow up yearning for the unusual,seeking something unique in myself.I longed not just to write,but to newly write and like no one else.Kenneth Hamilton wanted no less for his youngest child.
“Like no one else,” he had been no less himself.Graduating from Iowa State Business College in the early 1890s when it was an achievement when a black man completed high school,he began his search for employment.
One day,the banker for whom his mother worked as a cook asked that young Kenneth be sent around to the bank,where there was a suitable job for him.He hurried over to the bank,absolutely amazed at this sudden stroke of luck.Dressed in starched collar and gray business suit,he wondered what he would become.
Kenneth Hamilton walked directly into the bank and was promptly handed a mop and a bucket.He threw both the length of the establishment and turned on his heel,never to return.Perhaps he should have accepted that first mop and bucket,but I’m rather glad his imagination wouldn’t permit him.For now I have pleasure of remembering him as a man who would not allow mind or body to be limited by another’s reality.I could have wanted no less for a father.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者父亲因对Paul Robeson的敬仰,在自己的生活中也不甘于平庸,而父亲的追求最终也影响了作者的人生观的故事。
9.According to the first paragraph,Kenneth Hamilton and Paul Robeson were similar because they .
A.were both talented singers
B.both played football for Iowa State
C.both had aspirations for things greater than collegiate sports
D.both,at one time,aspired to be preachers
答案 C [推理判断题。在第一段中,作者描述了父亲Kenneth Hamilton对Paul Robeson的钦佩,特别是Robeson不仅在橄榄球场上表现出色,而且他还追求了比橄榄球更伟大的事物。而作者的父亲也对橄榄球有兴趣,并且两人都有其他的成就。由此可推断出他们的相似之处在于都对超出大学体育运动的事物有抱负,故选C项。]
10.Which of the following best exemplifies what the author refers to as the “wholly original,a new idea” in paragraph 2
A.The author’s resolve to be unlike any other writer.
B.The author’s choice to write about her past experiences.
C.Kenneth Hamilton’s decision to play football.
D.Paul Robeson’s determination that he would not be a preacher.
答案 A [推理判断题。根据文章第二段可知,作者提到自己不仅渴望写作,还渴望以一种全新的方式写作,并且希望与众不同。选项A最能体现“完全原创,新的想法”这一概念,故选A项。]

B.illustrate the author’s admiration for her father
C.stress Kenneth Hamilton’s natural ability for cleaning
D.explain how her father came upon his eventual great success
答案 B [写作目的题。最后一段中作者主要讲述了父亲Kenneth Hamilton在寻找工作时的一段经历。他被送到银行找工作,但当他被递上拖把和水桶时,他选择了离开,这表明他不愿意接受这种他认为不符合自己期望的工作。这一故事突出了Kenneth Hamilton不满足于平庸、追求更高目标的性格特征,体现了作者对父亲的钦佩之情,故选B项。]
12.The passage suggests that the author’s admiration for her father stems from .
A.his willingness to submit to society’s expectations of him
B.the realistic expectations he placed on his mind and body
C.the imagination by which he undertook his daily assignments
D.his courage in seeking a bank job in the 1890s
答案 B [推理判断题。文章通过多个例子,如父亲对Paul Robeson的钦佩、父亲拒绝银行给予的拖把和水桶等,展现了父亲不甘于平庸、勇于追求更高目标的品质。特别是最后两段,通过讲述父亲在银行求职时拒绝不符合自己期望的工作,突出了他不受现实期待约束、勇于追求自我价值的特点。而这也使得作者非常钦佩自己的父亲。由此可知,作者父亲这种不受约束追求更高目标的性格使作者钦佩自己的父亲,故选B项。]

Angela Johnson interviews ex-millionaire Jason Harley
For a lot of people,becoming a millionaire[1] is a symbol① of success and they set this as② their ultimate③ goal.They spend half of their time dreaming up④ ways of getting rich and achieving the success they expect[2],and the rest of their time thinking about all the things they will do[3] once they become rich[4].But do all millionaires get the sense of success⑤ they were looking for after they achieve their
[原文呈现]
goals Some continue to worry about money when they become millionaires—they worked hard to become wealthy⑥,but then they need to continue making money so they don’t lose the sense of success they have achieved.However,there are people who have turned their backs on⑦ their millions and found other forms of success in their lives.Jason Harley is one example.
[1]动词-ing形式短语作主语,谓语动词通常用单数。
[2]省略了关系代词that/which的定语从句,修饰先行词 success。
[3]省略了关系代词that的定语从句,修饰先行词all the things。
[4] once引导条件状语从句,在此作连词用,意为“一旦……”。
Sixteen years ago,Jason was a college professor⑧ with a huge six-bedroom house and a fortune⑨ of two million dollars.Today he lives in a small dormitory⑩ room with only second-hand furniture .There are certainly no signs that Jason is a rich and successful man[5]!There is a small garden outside with a few fruit trees,which Jason enjoys taking care of[6].He also grows some vegetables and a few flowers.He gets his clothes and a lot of other things from charity shops.
[5] that引导同位语从句,作signs的同位语。
[6] which引导的非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词fruit trees。
But Jason appreciates this change.He is pleased to give up the lifestyle of a rich man.He was tired of being regarded as living a successful life,as a person who had everything while many people had nothing[7].He made the choice to give all his money away [8].And this,he said,brought him happiness and a sense of success in life.
[7] as与前面的regarded连用,意为“作为”;who引导的定语从句修饰先行词person;while在此意为“而,然而”。
[8]不定式短语作the choice的同位语。
“I don’t need a lot of money.I don’t want to buy more things.I have enough,”said Jason.“What I want is to live simply and be helpful to others.[9] A few years ago,I was a millionaire,but I knew millions of people died of hunger every year,and there were places with no schools and no teachers.So many people could never go to school.They didn’t have the chance to learn and get on in life.This worried me a lot and I felt very guilty being a rich man without doing anything[10].”
[9]what引导主语从句。并列的不定式短语作表语,be helpful前省略to。
[10]动词-ing形式短语作原因状语。
Therefore he gave away all his money to charities.Whenever he had more than two thousand dollars[11],he would give away small bank notes to homeless people in the streets of local areas.“It was a kind of satisfaction and a real sense of success that I had never felt before[12],” said Jason.“Sure,many people think that ‘success’ means having millions in the bank or a well-paid job.But I think my sense of achievement comes from helping others and finding true meaning in life.”
[11]whenever在此意为“每当”,引导时间状语从句。
[12]that在此引导定语从句,修饰前面两个并列的先行词。that在从句中作宾语。
Most people believe when they are living comfortably and earning enough money,they will have no worries.However,most people never feel they have earned enough.Jason Harley decided to drop out of this kind of lifestyle,and he discovered that having only a little money made him free.Are there any things he misses from his past “No,I’m much happier now,because I am living according to my values.Success is not measured by how much money you have but by how you understand the true meaning of life.[13]”
[13]该句包含“not...but...”结构,意为“不是……而是……”,两个介词by后各接一个how引导的宾语从句。“not...but...”连接并列成分作主语时,谓语动词与but后的成分在人称和数上保持一致。

[参考译文] 安吉拉·约翰逊采访前百万富翁詹森·哈利
对于很多人来说,成为百万富翁是成功的象征,并且他们将此作为最终目标。他们花一半时间想象各种发财和达到他们期望的成功的方法,另一半时间则用来考虑一旦发了财他们会干什么。但是,百万富翁们都在实现目标后获得所寻求的成功感了吗 有些人成为百万富翁后仍然担心金钱问题——他们努力工作,变得富有,但他们需要继续赚钱,这样才不会丧失已经获得的成功感。然而有些人却放弃了百万家财,找到了人生中其他形式的成功。詹森·哈利就是一个例子。
十六年前,詹森是一名大学教授,拥有一套六居室的大房子和两百万美元的巨款。现在他住在一间只有二手家具的小宿舍里。显然没有迹象能表明詹森是一个富有而成功的人! 房子外面有一个小花园,种了几棵果树,詹森很喜欢侍弄它们。他还种了一些蔬菜和花。他从慈善商店买衣服和许多其他的东西。
但是詹森很欣赏这种改变。他很高兴能放弃富人的生活方式。自己应有尽有,而许多人一无所有,他厌倦了被认为过着成功的生活。他决定把自己的钱财都捐赠出去。他说这给他的生活带来了快乐和成功感。
“我不需要很多钱,也不想再买更多的东西。我拥有的已经够多了。”詹森说,“我想要简单地生活并能帮助别人。几年前,我是百万富翁,但我知道每年有数百万人死于饥饿,而且有些地方没有学校和老师。很多人永远不能上学,他们没有接受教育和开启新生活的机会。这让我非常担心,作为一位富人不能有所作为,我感到非常内疚。”
因此,他把所有的钱都捐给了慈善机构。每当他的钱超过两千美元时,他就会把小额钞票赠送给当地街道上无家可归的人。“这是一种我从未感受过的满足感和真正的成功感。”詹森说,“当然,很多人认为‘成功’意味着有数百万银行存款或高薪的工作。但我认为我的成就感来自帮助他人并找到生活真正的意义。”
大多数人相信,当他们生活舒适并赚到足够的钱时,就可以高枕无忧了。但是,大多数人从未觉得自己赚够了。詹森·哈利决定放弃这种生活方式,他发现只拥有少量金钱使他获得了自由。 和过去相比,他错过了什么吗 “不,现在我更开心,因为我依照自己的价值观生活。衡量成功与否不在于你有多少金钱,而在于你如何理解生命的真正意义。”

Ⅰ.阅读理解(每小题2.5分,共30分)
A
I grew up in a poor family.This was something I did not realize until I was older.I thought everyone in the city took the bus,because everyone in my neighborhood took the bus.I thought everyone in the city used the food bank,because all my friends’ cupboards were filled with the same government-labeled food that filled my cupboards.We all wore hand-me-down clothes.
Grocery shopping was my first experience understanding that my family was a little different.My mom used paper money that looked different from the paper money others in line were using. However,one day,I asked my mom why our money looked different. She said because we did not have real money to buy food,so the government helped us.
In high school,I was still embarrassed and wished we were not so poor,but I loved my mom and the other members of my family and knew we had things to be proud of.My mother who was a great woman with wisdom taught me how to love and told me to believe in myself.Growing up in poverty taught me perseverance (毅力).I have always believed in myself and my abilities.I knew I could focus on school and build a life that looked different from my childhood.
As I became a man,I thought my experiences are very useful and vital! It taught me to be resilient (有韧性的),and how to respect people for who they are as an individual—and not by what they have.I think there are a lot of fixed images placed on those experiencing poverty that do not actually come from the people experiencing it.These judgments come from people on the outside trying not to look into the experience.Hardworking,trustworthy,reliable,clean,efficient,successfu
l and disciplined are all words not typically associated with poverty. But those words are very much shown by those experiencing poverty! Therefore,I am glad to say I am really proud to be who I am and proud of where I’m from!

Eugene Newman Parker,a leading figure in heliospheric (日球层的) physics for the past half century,passed away peacefully at his home in Chicago on Mar.15.He was 94.
Acknowledged as a visionary in the field of heliophysics,Parker changed our understanding of the sun and its effects on Earth and other bodies within the solar system.NASA even stated that “the field of heliophysics exists in large part because of Dr.Eugene Parker”.In 2018,Parker became the first living scientist to witness the launch of a spacecraft that was named in his honor.
Parker is best known for his groundbreaking theory on the existence of a phenomenon called “solar wind”,a continuous stream of charged particles that flow off the sun.It can become violent,causing space weather that impacts the Earth.When Parker’s research was published in 1958,his theory was initially met with skepticism (怀疑) and ridicule by the scientific community.The general view at the time was that the space between planets was an absolute vacuum (真空),and was thus completely empty of any matter.But,there were no errors in his study or his calculations,and the theory was later proven to be correct in 1962,when a NASA spacecraft mission to Venus revealed the constant presence of a supersonic wind—exactly as Parker had predicted.
That experience likely led to the advice Parker often gave young researchers:“If you do something new or innovative,expect trouble. But think critically about it because if you’re wrong,you want to be the first one to know that.” Parker never co-authored a paper with his students,thus urging them to be independent.
Parker was humble,straightforward,and wise.His son Eric said,“My sister Joyce and I didn’t get a real feel for what a ‘big dog’ our dad was in the field.” They got an even better sense when a month after Parker’s death,they traveled to Lund,Sweden,to accept on his behalf the Crafoord Prize in Astronomy.

Like many Americans,my father,Kenneth Hamilton,must have heard Paul Robeson sing over the radio at one time or another.He must have read about Robeson’s extraordinary feats of daring and skill on the football fields of Rutgers.“I imagine,” he would begin, “that Mr.Paul Robeson woke up one morning to find there was more to the day than playing football.I know I did (my father played football for Iowa State).I imagine he looked around him.He saw that plenty of his people already were preachers;there were enough morticians (殡仪业者) to reach from here to kingdom to come.I imagine Mr.Robeson decided then and there he would be what there never had been before.And he was.”
I don’t recall Kenneth Hamilton ever saying what it was Paul Robeson became besides a football star.But surely he was referring to Robeson’s powerful singing voice.Yet what came through clearly to me at the time was this:If one were to become anything,it would have to be not only the best but wholly original,a new idea.This concept sank deep into my consciousness.Imperceptibly (不知不觉地),I grow up yearning for the unusual,seeking something unique in myself.I longed not just to write,but to newly write and like no one else. Kenneth Hamilton wanted no less for his youngest child.
“Like no one else,” he had been no less himself.Graduating from Iowa State Business College in the early 1890s when it was an achievement when a black man completed high school,he began his search for employment.
One day,the banker for whom his mother worked as a cook asked that young Kenneth be sent around to the bank,where there was a suitable job for him.He hurried over to the bank,absolutely amazed at this sudden stroke of luck.Dressed in starched collar and gray business suit,he wondered what he would become.
Kenneth Hamilton walked directly into the bank and was promptly handed a mop and a bucket.He threw both the length of the establishment and turned on his heel,never to return.Perhaps he should have accepted that first mop and bucket,but I’m rather glad his imagination wouldn’t permit him.For now I have pleasure of remembering him as a man who would not allow mind or body to be limited by another’s reality.I could have wanted no less for a father.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者父亲因对Paul Robeson的敬仰,在自己的生活中也不甘于平庸,而父亲的追求最终也影响了作者的人生观的故事。
9.According to the first paragraph,Kenneth Hamilton and Paul Robeson were similar because they .
A.were both talented singers
B.both played football for Iowa State
C.both had aspirations for things greater than collegiate sports
D.both,at one time,aspired to be preachers
√
解析 推理判断题。在第一段中,作者描述了父亲Kenneth Hamilton对Paul Robeson的钦佩,特别是Robeson不仅在橄榄球场上表现出色,而且他还追求了比橄榄球更伟大的事物。而作者的父亲也对橄榄球有兴趣,并且两人都有其他的成就。由此可推断出他们的相似之处在于都对超出大学体育运动的事物有抱负,故选C项。
10.Which of the following best exemplifies what the author refers to as the “wholly original,a new idea” in paragraph 2
A.The author’s resolve to be unlike any other writer.
B.The author’s choice to write about her past experiences.
C.Kenneth Hamilton’s decision to play football.
D.Paul Robeson’s determination that he would not be a preacher.

解析 写作目的题。最后一段中作者主要讲述了父亲Kenneth Hamilton在寻找工作时的一段经历。他被送到银行找工作,但当他被递上拖把和水桶时,他选择了离开,这表明他不愿意接受这种他认为不符合自己期望的工作。这一故事突出了Kenneth Hamilton不满足于平庸、追求更高目标的性格特征,体现了作者对父亲的钦佩之情,故选B项。
12.The passage suggests that the author’s admiration for her father stems from .
A.his willingness to submit to society’s expectations of him
B.the realistic expectations he placed on his mind and body
C.the imagination by which he undertook his daily assignments
D.his courage in seeking a bank job in the 1890s
√
解析 推理判断题。文章通过多个例子,如父亲对Paul Robeson的钦佩、父亲拒绝银行给予的拖把和水桶等,展现了父亲不甘于平庸、勇于追求更高目标的品质。特别是最后两段,通过讲述父亲在银行求职时拒绝不符合自己期望的工作,突出了他不受现实期待约束、勇于追求自我价值的特点。而这也使得作者非常钦佩自己的父亲。由此可知,作者父亲这种不受约束追求更高目标的性格使作者钦佩自己的父亲,故选B项。

A
The FIFA Women’s World Cup will take place half a world away—in Brazil in 2027—but football mad families can get a fix of the beautiful game far closer to home.If you are inspired to take a football based break with the kids this summer,here are the cities to head to.
Liverpool
As the home of Liverpool FC since the club’s formation in 1892,Anfield is one of the best known football stadiums on the planet.Young fans of the club will find plenty to enjoy on the stadium tour,with many photo opportunities,dressing room access and great views across the city from the top of the Main Stand.The museum,The Liverpool FC Story,includes the Boom Room exhibition,devoted to the club’s 2019/2020 Premier League win.The guided tour takes around 70 minutes.
Munich
Various ex Premier League stars are currently on Bayern Munich’s books,and the club has long been a grand sporting presence.Six times champions of Europe,Germany’s most successful team regularly sells out the ultra modern 75,000 capacity Allianz Arena.Tours include access to the FC Bayern Museum,where countless trophies (奖杯) are on display.
Milan
As the home stadium of both AC Milan and Inter Milan,and a regular venue for internationals,San Siro is a ground with bags of history.Having two resident clubs means double the matches,and a higher likelihood of getting tickets for a game—where the atmosphere can be intense.The guided tour takes around 80 minutes.
Paris
The 80,000 capacity Stade de France has hosted three Champions League finals,a World Cup final and a Euros final,with the likes of Zinedine Zidane and Cristiano Ronaldo winning trophies here.For sports mad kids,however,the appeal doesn’t end there—the same stadium staged the Olympic Games in 2024.The guided tour takes around 90 minutes.

When you think about who’s responsible for a city’s safety,what people come to mind Police officers,firefighters or emergency response teams Would you put your local meteorologist (气象预报员) in this group That’s the career Ashley Ruiz chose,and she’s now the first female chief meteorologist in Baton Rouge,Louisiana.Ruiz predicts the weather for her community.
In 2020,a tornado hit Ruiz’s hometown of Chattanooga,Tennessee—and,even closer to home,her house.So she said she knew what a lifesaving job this could be.
However,her job isn’t without difficulties.“Hearing people have been injured,like in a big hurricane,is really hard,” she said.“We try our best to predict the weather as best as we can,and we are getting better.But it can always change.”
Ruiz talked about the new and changing weather patterns.She said,“We are absolutely seeing changes in weather,with more intense and more frequent storms,which relate to climate change.” Weather is changing everywhere,as the planet warms.There are more frequent droughts,stronger storms,and increasing temperature changes.This makes predicting the weather difficult.
Ruiz always knew she was interested in weather and how it affected the world.But her path to a career in meteorology wasn’t easy.She said,“I struggled so hard with math and wanted to give up.But I kept pushing and working hard,and now I’m the first woman chief meteorologist in the Baton Rouge TV market.I’m proud of that.” She wants kids to know they should never give up on their education or their dreams.

A.To call on people to prepare for disasters.
B.To introduce Ruiz’s unusual childhood experience.
C.To offer a successful example of weather forecast.
D.To show Ruiz’s understanding of the work of a meteorologist.

Ⅰ.阅读理解(每小题2.5分,共17.5分)
A
The FIFA Women’s World Cup will take place half a world away—in Brazil in 2027—but football-mad families can get a fix of the beautiful game far closer to home.If you are inspired to take a football-based break with the kids this summer,here are the cities to head to.
Liverpool
As the home of Liverpool FC since the club’s formation in 1892, Anfield is one of the best-known football stadiums on the planet. Young fans of the club will find plenty to enjoy on the stadium tour, with many photo opportunities,dressing room access and great views across the city from the top of the Main Stand.The museum,The Liverpool FC Story,includes the Boom Room exhibition,devoted to the club’s 2019/2020 Premier League win.The guided tour takes around 70 minutes.
Munich
Various ex-Premier League stars are currently on Bayern Munich’s books,and the club has long been a grand sporting presence. Six times champions of Europe,Germany’s most successful team regularly sells out the ultra-modern 75,000-capacity Allianz Arena. Tours include access to the FC Bayern Museum,where countless trophies (奖杯) are on display.
Milan
As the home stadium of both AC Milan and Inter Milan,and a regular venue for internationals,San Siro is a ground with bags of history.Having two resident clubs means double the matches,and a higher likelihood of getting tickets for a game—where the atmosphere can be intense.The guided tour takes around 80 minutes.
Paris
The 80,000-capacity Stade de France has hosted three Champions League finals,a World Cup final and a Euros final,with the likes of Zinedine Zidane and Cristiano Ronaldo winning trophies here.For sports-mad kids,however,the appeal doesn’t end there—the same stadium staged the Olympic Games in 2024.The guided tour takes around 90 minutes.

Ruiz talked about the new and changing weather patterns.She said,“We are absolutely seeing changes in weather,with more intense and more frequent storms,which relate to climate change.” Weather is changing everywhere,as the planet warms.There are more frequent droughts,stronger storms,and increasing temperature changes.This makes predicting the weather difficult.

√Part 3 Grammar (1)——动词 ing形式
动 词 ing 形 式 定义 属于非谓语动词,可以构成动词 ing形式短语
功能 作主语:往往表示经常性、习惯性的动作 作宾语:一种是作及物动词的宾语,另一种是作介词的宾语 作表语:多指抽象的、习惯性的动作
复合 结构 其逻辑主语一般由形容词性物主代词、名词所有格、人称代词的宾格或名词的通格来充当
动词 ing形式属于非谓语动词,它保留动词的某些特征,可以带有自己的宾语和状语(系动词还可带表语),构成动词 ing形式短语,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、动词 ing形式作主语
[先感知]
①Skiing is a very popular sport in northern China.(人教选一U3)
滑雪在中国北方是一项非常受欢迎的运动。
②Working out the idea behind the subheadings can help you better understand the structure and the key points of the text.(人教选一U3)

[明规则] 动词 ing形式(短语)作主语往往表示经常性、习惯性的动作。
[名师指津]

[名师指津]
(1)下列几组词后接动词 ing形式作宾语和不定式作宾语的含义不同。动词不定式形式用于动词后通常表示以后要发生的动作;而动词 ing用在动词后则表示已发生或常态的动作。

forget to do sth 忘记要做某事
remember doing sth 记得做过某事

[会发现] 句①中动词 ing形式using body language...作表语,句②中动词 ing形式moving your hand...作表语。
[明规则] 动词 ing形式作表语时,多指抽象的、习惯性的动作。主语通常是表示无生命事物的名词。表语与主语通常是对等关系,表示主语的内容,有时可互换位置。

[会发现] 句①中my/me opening the door为动词 ing形式的复合结构,句②中astronauts/astronauts’ walking in space为动词 ing形式的复合结构。
[明规则] 如果动词 ing形式有自己的逻辑主语,这便构成了动词 ing形式的复合结构。其逻辑主语一般由形容词性物主代词、名词所有格、人称代词的宾格或名词的通格来充当。在口语中,形容词性物主代词和名词所有格可分别由人称代词的宾格和名词的通格代替。
[名师指津] 当动词 ing形式的复合结构作主语时,其逻辑主语只用名词所有格或形容词性物主代词表示。否定形式not应放在逻辑主语和动词 ing形式之间。
The students’ knowing English well will help them to learn French.

We wanted to understand how common willful ignorance is and why people engage in it.After collecting data from multiple research projects that involved more than 6,000 individuals,we discovered that willful ignorance is common and harmful,with 40 percent of people choosing “not to know” the consequences of their actions to free themselves of guilt while maximizing their own gains.But we also found that about 40 percent of people are unselfish:rather than avoiding information about the consequences of their actions,they seek it out to increase the benefits to others.
In the experiments,the decisions were made in one of two settings.In the transparent (透明的) setting,decision makers had information about how their choice would affect themselves and their partner.In an ambiguous (模糊的) setting,decision makers knew how their choice would matter for themselves but not for their teammate—although they could request that insight.
The overall balance tipped toward selfishness when participants had the option to avoid information.Only 39 percent of people in the ambiguous setting made the choice that ultimately benefited their partner—a significant drop from 55 percent in the transparent condition.
If we can avoid putting a strong moral emphasis on decisions,it may make people feel less threatened and,as a result,be less willfully ignorant.Other research groups have found promising ways to do this.For instance,we could encourage people to think more positively about good deeds rather than guilt trip them for what they have failed to do.Highlighting recent global achievements,such as healing the ozone (臭氧) layer,can inspire people to keep up the good work rather than feeling like the battle is lost and that the situation is hopeless.
In short,we can encourage one another and ourselves toward more selfless and generous actions.

Ⅱ.七选五(每小题2.5分,共12.5分)
So,what does it take to be great I thoroughly reject the “10 years,10,000 hours” notion that anyone can be an expert if they just put in enough time. 1
Another reality though is that you can’t control your genes.If you received good ones from your parents,thank them.If you didn’t,don’t blame your parents because they didn’t choose their genes either. 2
Inborn ability is certainly a wonderful thing to have been given,but it is a bit overrated. 3 What this means is that you need inborn ability to be great,but it isn’t enough.The world is full of gifted failures,of “can’t miss kids” who missed.Talent is only the starting point to greatness and,if you’re fortunate enough to have won the genetic lottery,it puts you ahead of the field at the beginning of the race to be great. 4 You have to work hard,push your limits,and struggle mightily to get to the finish for anything in life worth pursuing greatness in.
Ultimately,being great isn’t about being objectively great because,as noted above,the chances that you will achieve true greatness in some aspect of your life is,statistically,very small. 5 I define that as fully realizing whatever ability you were born with.That inborn ability may not be enough to be a superstar in your area of achievement,but,if you do what is necessary,you will find a reasonable level of success.
A.Instead,let it go and focus on what you can control.
B.But,of course,races aren’t won at the start,but at the finish.
C.Rather,your goal should be to find your own personal greatness.
D.Inborn ability is a necessary but not sufficient contributor to greatness.
E.You might think that personal greatness isn’t the same as true greatness.
F.The reality is that genes matter,whether inborn intelligence or inborn physical talent.
G.They enjoy the struggles they experienced and the satisfaction of overcoming them.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇议论文。文章主要就怎样才能成为伟大的人发表了自己的观点,即充分认识到你与生俱来的任何能力,从而找到一个合理的成功水平。
1.F [由上文可知,作者这里否定只要时间足够就能成为专家,而F项(事实上,基因很重要,无论是天生的智力还是天生的身体天赋。)符合语境,即提出自己的观点——基因决定能否成为伟人,且The reality 与下文Another reality 对应,故选F项。]
2.A [由上文可知,这里讲你无法控制你的基因,而A项(相反,不必追究它,专注于你能控制的事情。)符合语境,其中Instead与上文形成转折,can control也与上文 can’t control形成对比,故选A项。]
3.D [由下文可知,这里讲天生的能力也并不足以让你变得伟大,而D项(天生的能力是伟大的必要不充分因素。)符合语境,其中Inborn ability与上下文对应,下句也对本句进行了解释说明,故选D项。]
4.B [由上文可知,这里主要讲天赋只是让你起点领先,但不保证终点能领先。而B项(但是,当然,比赛不是在开始时获胜,而是在结束时获胜。)符合语境,其中at the start与上文at the beginning对应,at the finish与下文get to the finish 对应,故选B项。]
5.C [由下文可知,这里主要讲充分认识到你与生俱来的任何能力来实现适合你自己的伟大,而C项(相反,你的目标应该是找到自己的个人伟大之处。)符合语境,其中 your own personal greatness为下文 that的指代内容,故选C项。]

【语篇解读】 本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了中国传统民间艺术十字绣,包括其所用的材料及其样式等相关内容。

8.traditional [考查词性转换。此处应用形容词修饰名词“Chinese painting”。]
9.characters [考查名词的数。Chinese character意为“汉字”,character为可数名词;根据下文中的“Chinese sayings,dragons,mythical gods and so on”可知,此处应用名词复数形式。]
10.as [考查介词。此处表示作为礼物,as意为“作为”。](共61张PPT)

Part 3 Grammar (1)——动词-ing形式
动 词 -ing 形 式 定义 属于非谓语动词,可以构成动词-ing形式短语
功能 作主语:往往表示经常性、习惯性的动作
作宾语:一种是作及物动词的宾语,另一种是作介词的宾语
作表语:多指抽象的、习惯性的动作
复合 结构 其逻辑主语一般由形容词性物主代词、名词所有格、人称代词的宾格或名词的通格来充当
动词-ing形式属于非谓语动词,它保留动词的某些特征,可以带有自己的宾语和状语(系动词还可带表语),构成动词-ing形式短语,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、动词-ing形式作主语

[名师指津]
(1)下列几组词后接动词-ing形式作宾语和不定式作宾语的含义不同。动词不定式形式用于动词后通常表示以后要发生的动作;而动词-ing用在动词后则表示已发生或常态的动作。

[会发现] 句①中动词-ing形式
作表语,句②中动词-ing形式 作表语。

[会发现] 句①中 为动词-ing形式的复合结构,句②中 为动词-ing形式的复合结构。
[明规则] 如果动词-ing形式有自己的逻辑主语,这便构成了动词-ing形式的复合结构。其逻辑主语一般由形容词性物主代词、名词所有格、人称代词的宾格或名词的通格来充当。在口语中,形容词性物主代词和名词所有格可分别由人称代词的宾格和名词的通格代替。
my/me opening the door
astronauts/astronauts’ walking in space
[名师指津] 当动词-ing形式的复合结构作主语时,其逻辑主语只用名词所有格或形容词性物主代词表示。否定形式not应放在逻辑主语和动词-ing形式之间。

【语篇解读】 本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了中国传统民间艺术十字绣,包括其所用的材料及其样式等相关内容。
1.has been practiced [考查时态语态和主谓一致。根据“for hundreds of years”可知,此处应用现在完成时,且主语cross-stitch 与动词practice之间是被动关系,应用其被动语态。主语为单数,谓语动词应用单数第三人称。]
2.to learn [考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,此处应用不定式作后置定语。]
3.amazing [考查词性转换。此处应用形容词修饰名词;表示“令人惊讶的”应用amazing。]
4.but [考查并列连词。上文讲十字绣有时候使用印花十字绣完成,下文讲更常见的是计数十字绣。上下文为转折关系,应用but连接。]
5.is known [考查时态语态和主谓一致。此处陈述客观情况,应用一般现在时;be known as意为“作为……而著名”,为固定搭配,且which指代主句,谓语动词应用第三人称单数形式。]
6.widely [考查词性转换。此处应用副词修饰动词“vary”。]
7.which [考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知,空格处引导非限制性定语从句,且介词后只能用which。“many of which”对先行词进行部分补充说明。]
8.traditional [考查词性转换。此处应用形容词修饰名词“Chinese painting”。]
9.characters [考查名词的数。Chinese character意为“汉字”, character为可数名词;根据下文中的“Chinese sayings,dragons, mythical gods and so on”可知,此处应用名词复数形式。]
