B[2025湖南师大附中开学考]
By the time she turned 18, Khadijah Williams had attended twelve schools. She had lived in shelters, in parks, and in motels, never in a permanent residence for more than a few months. She had tolerated the blame of students who considered her as “different”.
Homeless since early childhood, Khadijah struggled all her life to hide her circumstances from teachers and fellow students. However, academics proved to be a way for her to find confidence in herself again. For instance, at the age of 9, she placed in the 99th percentile on a state exam, and her teacher told her she was “gifted”. From that moment forward, Khadijah decided to do whatever it took to keep herself in that category. “I was so proud of being smart. I never wanted people to say ‘You got the easy way out because you're homeless’,” she said. “I never saw it as an excuse.”
By the second year of high school, she realized that she could not succeed in getting the further education she dreamed of without getting help to go beyond what her current school could offer. She talked to teachers and counselors(辅导员) who helped her apply to summer community college classes, scholarships, and enrichment programs. And in 11th grade, when she enrolled at Jefferson High School, she decided to complete the rest of her school career there—a decision that meant taking a bus each morning at 4 a.m. and not getting home until 11 p.m.
Her perseverance and hard work paid off, however. When she poured the story of her life into her Harvard University college application, she was accepted.
Once Khadijah felt ready to tell her story, it won her notice not only from college admissions boards but also from the news media, including Oprah, who introduced Khadijah on her show. Now as a successful student at Harvard, Khadijah continues to use the lessons of her extraordinary life to help and inspire other students.
( ) 4. What was Khadijah's life like before she turned 18
A. She was badly treated at home. B. She struggled with academics.
C. She had lived in various places. D. She often misbehaved at school.
( ) 5. How did Khadijah find confidence in herself again
A. By hiding her circumstances from others.
B. By working hard for academic success.
C. By being proud of her homeless background.
D. By getting help from teachers and counselors.
( ) 6. Why did Khadijah apply for the summer community college program
A. To use her experience to inspire others.
B. To get financial help from her teachers.
C. To realize her dream to go to university.
D. To be admitted to Jefferson High School.
( ) 7. What is the text mainly about
A. Khadijah's success in her academic pursuit.
B. Khadijah's experience of overcoming adversity.
C. Khadijah's involvement in community service.
D. Khadijah's achievements at Harvard University.

【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要描述了作者参与“Sensitivity Sunday”这一活动,通过体验使用轮椅来更加深入地理解残疾人所面临的挑战。
1. cure治愈;adopt采用,采纳;prevent阻止;analyze分析。根据下文“Some members like me, chose to use wheelchairs. Others wore sound blocking earplugs or blindfolds.”可知,此处指的是采用残疾人的生活方式。下文“adopting a wheelchair”也是提示。
2. learning学习;working工作;satisfying令人满意的;relaxing放松的。根据下文“As soon as I sat down, my __4__ made the chair begin to roll.”可知,此处指哪怕只是坐在轮椅上也是一种学习,因为作者之前从未考虑过使用轮椅会如此不易。
3. convenient方便的;awkward笨拙的;boring无聊的;exciting令人兴奋的。根据下文“As soon as I sat down, my __4__ made the chair begin to roll.”可知,作者一坐下,轮椅就开始滚动,这说明作者使用轮椅时,动作笨拙。
4. height高度;force力量;skill技能;weight重量。根据上文“As soon as I sat down”可知,作者坐下后,其重量使得轮椅开始滚动。
5. locked上锁;repaired修理;powered驱动;grasped抓住。根据上文“the chair begin to roll”和常识可知,轮子开始转动,说明轮椅的轮子没有上锁。
6. hands手;feet脚;keys钥匙;handles把手。根据下文“It took me quite a while to get the metal footrest into __7__.”可知,作者花了一段时间才把金属脚踏板放到位,说明起初作者不知道把自己的脚放在哪里。
7. place位置;action行动;play玩耍;effect影响。根据上文“Then I wondered where to put my __6__.”可知,作者起初不知道把脚放在哪里,所以此处指的是把脚踏板放到正确的位置。
8. operation操作;communication交流;transportation交通工具;production生产。根据上文“Some members like me, chose to use wheelchairs.”可知,作者选择了使用轮椅,所以轮椅是作者这几个小时内的交通工具。
9. flexible灵活的;safe安全的;starting开始的;comfortable舒服的。根据下文even kind of nice to be __10__ around for a while可知,作者觉得坐在轮椅上被人推着走会很惬意,所以此处指的是找一个舒服的姿势。
10. shown展示;pushed推;driven驾驶;guided引导。根据上文作者选择了使用轮椅以及restful、nice和语境可知,作者以为会有人来推自己。
11. realized意识到;suggested建议;agreed同意;admitted承认。根据下文“I would have to handle the thing myself”可知,作者意识到必须自己来处理推动轮椅这件事。
12. lifted抬起;turned转动;pressed按压;seized抓住。根据上文“I would have to handle the thing myself”可知,作者必须自己推动轮椅,所以此处指的是转动轮椅的轮子。
13. path路径;position位置;direction方向;way方式。根据上文“my __4__ made the chair begin to roll”和“I would have to handle the thing myself”可知,作者之前一坐下轮椅就开始滚动,而今意识到必须自己推动轮椅,所以此处指的是轮椅的方向不容易控制。
14. forgotten忘记;repeated重复;conducted进行;finished完成,结束。根据下文“It made a deep impression on me.”可知,作者的轮椅试验给作者留下了深刻的印象,说明试验已经结束了。
15. weaknesses弱点;anxieties焦虑;challenges挑战;illnesses疾病。根据上文make us more aware of the problems faced by disabled people可知,作者通过这次经历深刻体会到了残疾人不得不面对的身心挑战。

【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了日本人口老龄化致痴呆危机,护理人员短缺,政府采取措施但遇挑战,这促使其寄希望于护理机器人。
1. 考查形容词。分析句子可知,此处修饰名词government predictions,应用形容词做定语,disappointing 表示“令人失望的”,符合语境;位于句首,首字母大写。
2. 考查动词时态。根据时间状语by 2026可知,此处表示到将来某个时间点完成的动作,应用将来完成时,其结构为“will have done”。
3. 考查介词。此处表示“没有”额外的护理人员就无法避免危机,应用介词without。
4. 考查名词。根据The long standing可知,此处应填名词,short的名词形式shortage,表示“短缺,不足”,the shortage of …表示“……的短缺”。
5. 考查非谓语动词。encourage sb to do sth为固定搭配,意为“鼓励某人做某事”,所以此处应用动词不定式做宾语补足语。
6. 考查冠词。此处泛指“一项经济伙伴关系协议”,应用不定冠词,且economic是发音以元音音素开头的单词,应用an。
7. 考查连词。分析句子可知,“the government made efforts to increase the number of senior care workers”和“the target number of foreign … has still fallen flat”之间是让步关系,应用while或者although或者though引导让步状语从句;位于句首,首字母大写。
8. 考查名词复数。graduate在此处是名词,意为“毕业生”,为可数名词,此处应用复数形式。
9. 考查非谓语动词。分析句子可知,这里考查“with+宾语+宾语补足语”的复合结构,the national caregiver exam与prove之间是主动关系,应用现在分词做宾语补足语。
10. 考查宾语从句。分析句子可知,account for后接宾语从句,从句中不缺少主语和宾语,根据语境可知,此处表示“为什么”,应用why引导宾语从句。
