Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
(2024·南京高二下质检)I was ten when my dad helped me buy my first ten-speed bicycle from Father Allen.I put up 60 of my grass cutting and snow shoveling (铲) money, and my dad put up the other half.I would pay him back over the next six months.Although it was the kind of bike you’d expect a priest to have, it was my ticket to the adult world.
I spent that summer and autumn riding as if to put Greg LeMond to shame.My sister Liz, a prisoner of her five-speed and banana seat, never had a chance to keep up.
Just before the Christmas deadline to pay my dad back, we were hit with several snowstorms.This allowed me to shovel enough driveways to pay off my debt.I was now officially a bike owner; it was a feeling unlike any other.
On that Christmas morning, my dad gave me a used portable record player.I was excited.However, my joy was short-lived after my dad called my sister to the kitchen.“We have one more gift for you,” he said as he opened the door that led to the garage.There, on the steps, stood a brand new ten-speed Schwinn.
“It’s not fair,” I complained.“I worked so hard for my bike, and it’s not even new.Then Liz gets a brand new bike.She didn’t have to do anything for it.” My dad smiled.“She didn’t have to do anything for it because it’s not really for her,” he said.What did that mean? I didn’t want her bike.
By spring Liz and I were riding all over town together now that she could keep up.As we grew, Liz and I became true friends.
Still, I wasn’t smart enough to figure out what my dad meant until years later.That brand new bike was not a gift for Liz — it was a gift for me.He’d given me the gift of my sister’s company, the ability to stay together rather than drift apart in the face of my ability to travel.He gave me my best friend.
1.What can we learn about the author’s bike?( )
A.It was worth $120. B.It was very fashionable.

(2024·烟台高二下月考)The other weekend I went to the mall in search of a new pair of tennis shoes.When I arrived at the mall, the stores were crowded.Apparently, none of these shoppers had read Van Boven’s 2005 review article highlighting the benefits of spending money on experiences over material goods.
When surveying various cultures to determine what makes people happy, researchers kept finding that having more didn’t equate (等同) to being happier.And people who try to have more are, in fact, less satisfied.But it seems this is only true if you are spending your money to buy “things” rather than “memories”.
Why is money spent to create memories better spent? In his review article, Van Boven explains why experiential purchases make us happier:
You got a raise, your co-worker got a bigger one.You bought a new house, your neighbour built a bigger one.On the other hand, Van Boven suggests that experiences are more personal and unique, and thus harder to compare.When people are asked whether they’d prefer to live in a world where they earned 50,000 a year while others earned 25,000 or a world where they earned 100,000 while others earned 200,000, about half of the people prefer to earn 50,000 if it means they earn more than everyone else.But when asked whether they’d prefer two weeks of vacation while everyone else got one, or four weeks while everyone else got eight, 85 percent of people preferred the four weeks even if other people got more.
People are generally engaging in experiences with others, whereas purchasing a new pair of boots is more likely to be a lonely affair.There is also something negative associated with being materialistic and researchers have found that people tend to prefer to interact with other people who are “experiential” than those who are “materialistic”.Engaging in an experience together can also help people create shared memories and connections.
5.What did the author think of those shoppers?( )
A.They were fond of materials. B.They were creating memories.
C.They should be taught by Van Boven. D.They had interest in Van Boven’s theory.
6.Why do people prefer to earn 50,000 instead of 100,000?( )
A.They seek better experiences. B.They don’t care about money.
C.They want to be better than others. D.They want to show their nobility of spirit.
7.What can we learn about materialistic purchases?( )
A.They are more private.
B.They are easier to compare.
C.They offer us longer happiness.
D.They offer us more satisfaction.
8.What’s the second benefit of experiential purchases?( )
A.They help us build relationships.
B.They give us a sense of possession.
C.They give us a sense of achievement.
D.They help us improve our social status.

(2024·深圳高二下期中检测)When I was in middle school, my family moved to Seattle, where my parents started their new business — a small grocery store downstairs my house.As a girl of shy and reserved nature, I had to take a fresh start to fit into the sophisticated city life.
One sunny day, my school announced an exciting event, a talent show for the local food bank.Students were encouraged to showcase their unique talents in front of the public in the city hall on National Day.A buzz of excitement fed the school as everyone began preparing for the big day.Deep down, I felt a spark of curiosity and a desire to participate.However, my self-doubt held me back, “I don’t have any special skills to share.”
Days turned into weeks, and the talent show drew closer.I couldn’t shake the upsetting feeling until one day, Emma, one of the most popular girls in my class, came to me while I was helping in the grocery store after class.“How about singing together in the talent show?”she grinned,“I heard you singing a tune, along the way back home.I can’t help following you here.” Gosh, I couldn’t believe my ears.Emma, with personality and popularity, acknowledged my little talent.Since Emma had the world’s prettiest voice, I felt like being favoured by fortune.
“You two? The talent show for the food bank?” My mum bent towards us and her face lit up.“A big occasion.” Then a light bulb seemed to go in her head.“Why not practise right now upstairs? I bet you’ll be a perfect match.” Winking at us, she seemed to know we were thinking alike.
Emma and I embarked on rehearsing almost every single day after school.We brainstormed, exchanged ideas and rehearsed the scene.As the days rolled by, I was feeling pretty good about our act.But the day before the performance, Emma called that she had an acute stomachache and was not in any shape to perform.

Step 1 品教材课文 Step 2 析写作手法
Hello! My name is Zhan Bingbing. [1]Lately, all of us have seen Chinese people on TV in far-off places in the world,helping other countries to develop.We see Chinese workers building roads in the Congo, a port in Pakistan, railways in Panama, and an airport in Sri Lanka.And we see Chinese miners, oil workers, agricultural experts, mechanics, and doctors working in nearly every corner of the world.And some people may ask,“Is it worth it? Why help people overseas when China has many areas that are still in need of development?” [1]这是一个简单句。动词-ing短语helping other countries to develop作伴随状语。 I had the same questions myself.But for me, it was much more personal.You see,my mother is a medical doctor,and for the last two years,she has been working as a volunteer consultant in Tanzania, Africa, as a part of a medical team sent by the Chinese government. To be honest, when my mother first left for Africa, I was upset.My mother cooked me dinner every night, and she took good care of me.But more importantly, she was my best friend.We talked together, we spent our leisure time together, and except for school and work, we were never apart.So I was unhappy about her leaving without even asking for my input. [2]But then I began to hear about the work she was doing in Tanzania, a country that has many health problems, and now I am singing a different tune.Many dangerous diseases which are rare in China are quite commonly contracted in Tanzania.And, while the country is quite beautiful and has much natural wealth, many of the people are quite poor and live without things we take for granted, such as electricity, running water,cars and good transport systems,and supermarkets.One project that my mother worked on was helping to build a cardiac hospital.Prior to this, if a Tanzanian had a heart condition and needed surgery, they would have to go abroad.Since this was quite expensive, many people went without medical treatment and some even died.Now, not only are Tanzanians helped by the hospital,but people in neighbouring countries are helped as well.It has made a big difference to their lives.My mother also does a circuit of the rural villages to provide medical treatment, help those with disabilities,and provide consultation and training for local doctors.In addition, her team has given patients a new malaria treatment invented in China, and this has saved many lives. [2]这是一个由and连接的并列句。在第一个分句中,she was doing in Tanzania是省略了关系代词which/that的定语从句,修饰先行词the work;that has many health problems也是定语从句,修饰先行词country。 Today, I want to relay to you that I’m proud of the work my mother has done, and I am now supportive of it.Is her work worth it? Yes, to the lives of the people she is helping, it is worth it.But by any criteria this work is worth it to us as well, because it shows that we are global citizens interested in world stability,and that we feel responsible for others and are ready to build a community with a shared future for mankind.Everyone deserves a fair chance in life.When I think of all the things that we as Chinese citizens can be most proud of,helping others comes at the top of this list.Now that I understand how important my mother’s work is, I’ve decided to become a volunteer myself to help people in other lands.In the future, I pray that you will do the same. Thank you! 学语言: 文章第二段使用了动词-ing短语作伴随状语(helping other countries to develop)和定语从句(that are still in need of development)。 第三段使用了过去分词短语作后置定语(sent by the Chinese government)。 第五段使用了while引导的让步状语从句(while the country is quite beautiful and has much natural wealth),动词-ing短语作表语(helping to build a cardiac hospital)和部分倒装句(not only are Tanzanians helped by the hospital)。 第六段使用了省略that的定语从句(my mother has done)和Now that引导的原因状语从句(Now that I understand how important my mother’s work is),这些高级句式和语法的运用使得文章精彩纷呈。 学结构: 该文本是一篇典型的演讲稿,主题是宣讲我国对其他国家的援助。 演讲者首先以大家熟悉的援助事例开篇,并用一个设问抛出演讲者对援助工作的价值的思考。 然后,从个人的角度展现自己从一开始的不理解到后来的完全认同并引以为傲的心路历程,穿插叙述了自己的母亲在非洲当地所做的贡献,真实地反映了中国进行国际援助的作用和意义。 最后,从共建人类命运共同体的高度坚定了自己将来投身国际援助事业的决心,并提出倡议,号召更多人加入国际志愿者的行列。
【参考译文】
大家好!我的名字叫詹冰冰。
最近,大家都在电视上看到中国人在世界各个遥远的地方帮助其他国家发展。我们看到中国工人在刚果修建公路,在巴基斯坦修建港口,在巴拿马修建铁路,在斯里兰卡修建机场。我们看到中国的矿工、石油工人、农业专家、机械师和医生几乎在世界的每个角落忙碌着。有些人可能会问:“这值得吗?在中国许多地区仍然需要发展的时候,为什么要帮助外国人民呢?”
我自己也有同样的疑问。然而,对我来说,它更多与我个人有关。你看,我妈妈是一名医生,在过去的两年里,她作为中国政府派遣的医疗队的一员,一直在非洲坦桑尼亚当一位志愿顾问。
说实话,当我妈妈第一次去非洲的时候,我很难过。我妈妈每天晚上都给我做饭,无微不至地照顾我。但更重要的是,她是我最好的朋友。我们一起聊天,一起度过闲暇时光,除了上学和上班,我们从未分开过。所以对她甚至没征求我的意见就(决定)离开,我感到很不开心。
可是话又说回来,我开始听说她在坦桑尼亚所做的工作。这个国家有很多健康问题,现在我转变了态度。许多在中国很罕见的危险疾病在坦桑尼亚仍有众多患者。此外,尽管这个国家风景美丽、物产丰饶,但许多人仍然十分贫穷;我们认为理所当然的东西,在他们的生活中都没有,比如电、自来水、汽车和便捷的交通系统,以及超市。我妈妈参与的一个项目是帮助他们建造一所心脏专科医院。在这之前,如果一个坦桑尼亚人患有心脏疾病需要手术的话,就不得不出国。由于出国费用高昂,许多人得不到治疗,甚至有人死亡。现在,有了医院,不仅坦桑尼亚人得到了帮助,而且周边国家的人们也因此受益。这极大地改变了他们的生活。我妈妈还到偏远的农村巡诊,提供医疗服务,帮助残疾人,并为当地医生提供咨询和培训。此外,她的团队还为患者提供了中国研发的新型疟疾疗法,从而挽救了许多生命。
今天,我想向你们传递的信息是,我为我妈妈所做的工作感到自豪,现在我对此表示支持。她的工作值得吗?是的,对得到她帮助的人的生命来说,这是值得的。然而,无论以何种标准衡量,这项工作对我们来说也是值得的,因为它表明我们是关心世界稳定的全球公民,我们对他人负有责任,并准备好要建设人类命运共同体。每个人在生命中都应享有公平的机会。当我在思考作为中国公民最能引以为傲的所有事情时,帮助他人位居榜首。既然我明白了我妈妈的工作有多么重要,我已经决定自己也成为一名志愿者,去帮助其他国家的人。我企盼,未来你们也会这样做。
谢谢!

Panama, and an airport in Sri Lanka.And we see Chinese miners, oil

need of development?”

To be honest, when my mother first left for Africa, I was
upset.My mother cooked me dinner every night, and she took good care
of me.But more importantly, she was my best friend.We talked
together, we spent our leisure time together, and except for school and
work, we were never apart.So I was unhappy about her leaving without
even asking for my input.
[2]But then I began to hear about the work she was doing in
Tanzania, a country that has many health problems, and now I am
singing a different tune.Many dangerous diseases which are rare in China
are quite commonly contracted in Tanzania.And, while the country is
quite beautiful and has much natural wealth, many of the people are quite
poor and live without things we take for granted, such as electricity,
running water,cars and good transport systems,and supermarkets.One
project that my mother worked on was helping to build a cardiac
hospital.Prior to this,
if a Tanzanian had a heart condition and needed surgery, they would have
to go abroad.Since this was quite expensive, many people went without
medical treatment and some even died.Now, not only are Tanzanians
helped by the hospital,but people in neighbouring countries are helped as
well.It has made a big difference to their lives.My mother also does a
circuit of the rural villages to provide medical treatment, help those with
disabilities,and provide consultation and training for local doctors.In
addition, her team has given patients a new malaria treatment invented in
China, and this has saved many lives.
[2]这是一个由and连接的并列句。在第一个分句中,she was
doing in Tanzania是省略了关系代词which/that的定语从句,修饰先行
词the work;that has many health problems也是定语从句,修饰先行词
country。
Today, I want to relay to you that I’m proud of the work my
mother has done, and I am now supportive of it.Is her work worth it?
Yes, to the lives of the people she is helping, it is worth it.But by any
criteria this work is worth it to us as well, because it shows that we are
global citizens interested in world stability,and that we feel responsible
for others and are ready to build a community with a shared future for
mankind.Everyone deserves a fair chance in life.When I think of all the
things that we as Chinese citizens can be most proud of,helping others
comes at the top of this list.
Now that I understand how important my mother’s work is, I’ve
decided to become a volunteer myself to help people in other lands.In the
future, I pray that you will do the same.
Thank you!
Step 2 析写作手法
学语言:
文章第二段使用了动词-ing短语作伴随状语(helping other
countries to develop)和定语从句(that are still in need of
development)。
第三段使用了过去分词短语作后置定语(sent by the Chinese
government)。
第五段使用了while引导的让步状语从句(while the country is
quite beautiful and has much natural wealth),动词-ing短语作表语
(helping to build a cardiac hospital)和部分倒装句(not only are
Tanzanians helped by the hospital)。
第六段使用了省略that的定语从句(my mother has done)和
Now that引导的原因状语从句(Now that I understand how
important my mother’s work is),这些高级句式和语法的运用
使得文章精彩纷呈。
学结构:
该文本是一篇典型的演讲稿,主题是宣讲我国对其他国家的
援助。
演讲者首先以大家熟悉的援助事例开篇,并用一个设问抛出演讲
者对援助工作的价值的思考。
然后,从个人的角度展现自己从一开始的不理解到后来的完全认
同并引以为傲的心路历程,穿插叙述了自己的母亲在非洲当地所做的
贡献,真实地反映了中国进行国际援助的作用和意义。
最后,从共建人类命运共同体的高度坚定了自己将来投身国际援
助事业的决心,并提出倡议,号召更多人加入国际志愿者的行列。
【参考译文】
大家好!我的名字叫詹冰冰。
最近,大家都在电视上看到中国人在世界各个遥远的地方帮助其
他国家发展。我们看到中国工人在刚果修建公路,在巴基斯坦修建港
口,在巴拿马修建铁路,在斯里兰卡修建机场。我们看到中国的矿
工、石油工人、农业专家、机械师和医生几乎在世界的每个角落忙碌
着。有些人可能会问:“这值得吗?在中国许多地区仍然需要发展的
时候,为什么要帮助外国人民呢?”
我自己也有同样的疑问。然而,对我来说,它更多与我个人有
关。你看,我妈妈是一名医生,在过去的两年里,她作为中国政府派
遣的医疗队的一员,一直在非洲坦桑尼亚当一位志愿顾问。
说实话,当我妈妈第一次去非洲的时候,我很难过。我妈妈每天
晚上都给我做饭,无微不至地照顾我。但更重要的是,她是我最好的
朋友。我们一起聊天,一起度过闲暇时光,除了上学和上班,我们从
未分开过。所以对她甚至没征求我的意见就(决定)离开,我感到很
不开心。
可是话又说回来,我开始听说她在坦桑尼亚所做的工作。这
个国家有很多健康问题,现在我转变了态度。许多在中国很罕见
的危险疾病在坦桑尼亚仍有众多患者。此外,尽管这个国家风景
美丽、物产丰饶,但许多人仍然十分贫穷;我们认为理所当然的
东西,在他们的生活中都没有,比如电、自来水、汽车和便捷的
交通系统,以及超市。我妈妈参与的一个项目是帮助他们建造一
所心脏专科医院。在这之前,如果一个坦桑尼亚人患有心脏疾病
需要手术的话,就不得不出国。由于出国费用高昂,许多人得不
到治疗,甚至有人死亡。
现在,有了医院,不仅坦桑尼亚人得到了帮助,而且周边国家的
人们也因此受益。这极大地改变了他们的生活。我妈妈还到偏远
的农村巡诊,提供医疗服务,帮助残疾人,并为当地医生提供咨
询和培训。此外,她的团队还为患者提供了中国研发的新型疟疾
疗法,从而挽救了许多生命。
今天,我想向你们传递的信息是,我为我妈妈所做的工作感到自
豪,现在我对此表示支持。她的工作值得吗?是的,对得到她帮助的
人的生命来说,这是值得的。然而,无论以何种标准衡量,这项工作
对我们来说也是值得的,因为它表明我们是关心世界稳定的全球公
民,我们对他人负有责任,并准备好要建设人类命运共同体。每个人
在生命中都应享有公平的机会。当我在思考作为中国公民最能引以为
傲的所有事情时,帮助他人位居榜首。既然我明白了我妈妈的工作有
多么重要,我已经决定自己也成为一名志愿者,去帮助其他国家的
人。我企盼,未来你们也会这样做。
谢谢!

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
(2024·南京高二下质检)I was ten when my dad helped me buy my
first ten-speed bicycle from Father Allen.I put up 60 of my grass cutting
and snow shoveling (铲) money, and my dad put up the other half.I
would pay him back over the next six months.Although it was the kind of
bike you’d expect a priest to have, it was my ticket to the adult world.
I spent that summer and autumn riding as if to put Greg LeMond to
shame.My sister Liz, a prisoner of her five-speed and banana seat,
never had a chance to keep up.
Just before the Christmas deadline to pay my dad back, we were hit
with several snowstorms.This allowed me to shovel enough driveways to
pay off my debt.I was now officially a bike owner; it was a feeling
unlike any other.
On that Christmas morning, my dad gave me a used portable record
player.I was excited.However, my joy was short-lived after my dad
called my sister to the kitchen.“We have one more gift for you,” he
said as he opened the door that led to the garage.There, on the steps,
stood a brand new ten-speed Schwinn.
“It’s not fair,” I complained.“I worked so hard for my bike,
and it’s not even new.Then Liz gets a brand new bike.She didn’t have
to do anything for it.” My dad smiled.“She didn’t have to do anything
for it because it’s not really for her,” he said.What did that mean? I
didn’t want her bike.
By spring Liz and I were riding all over town together now that she
could keep up.As we grew, Liz and I became true friends.
Still, I wasn’t smart enough to figure out what my dad meant until
years later.That brand new bike was not a gift for Liz — it was a gift for
me.He’d given me the gift of my sister’s company, the ability to stay
together rather than drift apart in the face of my ability to travel.He gave
me my best friend.

B
(2024·烟台高二下月考)The other weekend I went to the mall in
search of a new pair of tennis shoes.When I arrived at the mall, the
stores were crowded.Apparently, none of these shoppers had read Van
Boven’s 2005 review article highlighting the benefits of spending money
on experiences over material goods.
When surveying various cultures to determine what makes people
happy, researchers kept finding that having more didn’t equate (等
同) to being happier.And people who try to have more are, in fact,
less satisfied.But it seems this is only true if you are spending your money
to buy “things” rather than “memories”.
Why is money spent to create memories better spent? In his review
article, Van Boven explains why experiential purchases make us
happier:
You got a raise, your co-worker got a bigger one.You bought a new
house, your neighbour built a bigger one.On the other hand, Van
Boven suggests that experiences are more personal and unique, and thus
harder to compare.When people are asked whether they’d prefer to live
in a world where they earned 50,000 a year while others earned 25,
000 or a world where they earned 100,000 while others earned 200,
000, about half of the people prefer to earn 50,000 if it means they
earn more than everyone else.
But when asked whether they’d prefer two weeks of vacation while
everyone else got one, or four weeks while everyone else got eight, 85
percent of people preferred the four weeks even if other people got more.
People are generally engaging in experiences with others, whereas
purchasing a new pair of boots is more likely to be a lonely affair.There is
also something negative associated with being materialistic and researchers
have found that people tend to prefer to interact with other people who are
“experiential” than those who are “materialistic”.Engaging in an
experience together can also help people create shared memories and
connections.

(2024·深圳高二下期中检测)When I was in middle school, my
family moved to Seattle, where my parents started their new business —
a small grocery store downstairs my house.As a girl of shy and reserved
nature, I had to take a fresh start to fit into the sophisticated city life.
One sunny day, my school announced an exciting event, a talent
show for the local food bank.Students were encouraged to showcase their
unique talents in front of the public in the city hall on National Day.A
buzz of excitement fed the school as everyone began preparing for the big
day.Deep down, I felt a spark of curiosity and a desire to
participate.However, my self-doubt held me back, “I don’t have any
special skills to share.”
Days turned into weeks, and the talent show drew closer.I
couldn’t shake the upsetting feeling until one day, Emma, one of the
most popular girls in my class, came to me while I was helping in the
grocery store after class.“How about singing together in the talent
show?”she grinned,“I heard you singing a tune, along the way back
home.I can’t help following you here.” Gosh, I couldn’t believe my
ears.Emma, with personality and popularity, acknowledged my little
talent.Since Emma had the world’s prettiest voice, I felt like being
favoured by fortune.
“You two? The talent show for the food bank?” My mum bent
towards us and her face lit up.“A big occasion.” Then a light bulb
seemed to go in her head.“Why not practise right now upstairs? I bet
you’ll be a perfect match.” Winking at us, she seemed to know we
were thinking alike.
Emma and I embarked on rehearsing almost every single day after
school.We brainstormed, exchanged ideas and rehearsed the scene.As
the days rolled by, I was feeling pretty good about our act.But the day
before the performance, Emma called that she had an acute stomachache
and was not in any shape to perform.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;

I was completely surprised at the news.

参考范文:
I was completely surprised at the news.What should I do? Having
prepared for such a long time, I didn’t think of that coming up.Feeling
at a loss, I was brainstorming as hard as I could to think of a solution,
when a gentle touch on my back brought me back to reality.It was my
mum, who looked at me with care and concern.“You have prepared for
it enough.You can do it by yourself.” she said after my stumbled
explanation.I looked back at her eyes, and a sense of confidence and
warmness swelled up in my heart.Yes, I could do it myself.
Finally came the big moment.Looking around the audience, I
stepped onto the stage, with butterflies in my stomach.My voice
trembled at first, but with the melodies flew around, the nervousness
was gone with the wind.Emotions filled in my song, I performed as
naturally as I spoke every day.I saw my mum, who was looking at me
with reassurance and care.It turned out to be a good performance, which
helped me conquer my fears and turned me into a new person.
