答案及解析:本文是一篇记叙文。文章叙述了作者在不同阶段对不同运动(跑步和骑自行车)的兴趣和经历,并通过这些经历反映了作者的成长和心理变化。
1. C 根据第一段的“I've been motivated…by other folks' achievements”以及下文的“Feeling motivated”可知,“我”被朋友取得的成就所激励,因此邻居朋友应是赢得了马拉松比赛,won 符合语境。
2. A 根据上文的“Feeling motivated”可知,“我”受该朋友赢得马拉松比赛的激励,开始定期(regularly)跑步。
3. D 根据下文“a 52.4 mile double marathon”可知,该女生告诉“我”她在为52.4 英里的双马拉松比赛而进行训练(training)。
4. C 根据下文的“the pure boredom of jogging”以及“… I'd ever run again is if a big dog was running after me”可知,“我”讨厌(hated)跑步。

9. B 根据上文的“While she was at work one day”可知,姐姐上班去了,“我”借(borrowed)她的自行车出去兜风。
10. A 根据下文的“The roads there went through large valleys where I'd be riding uphill for miles at a time.”可知,那里的路穿过大山谷,所以“我”需要一次骑好几英里的上坡路,这是“我”遇到的问题(problem)。
11. D 根据上文的“The roads there went through large valleys where I'd be riding uphill for miles at a time.”可知,“我”从未遇到过这样的挑战(challenges)。
12. A 根据下文的“by about 100 ‘local’ bikers who were used to such roads”可知,当地自行车手习惯了在这种上坡路上骑行,所以此处指的是“我”被大约100 名当地自行车手超过(passed)了。

(2025·广东茂名)
Never letting my friends post pictures of me online, I didn't have social media until 17. I had a smartphone from 11, and would text and call my friends a lot. The key difference was that I was a digital viewer, not a participant. When they asked why I didn't have social media, my answer would change as the years passed.
Initially, not being on social media as a teen did, unsurprisingly, made me feel secluded. Conversations between my friends would not always take place on text, but via social media. New gossip would circulate in the evenings, but I would only find it out the next morning, by which point it was old news. Plus, there were certain new trends I just didn't understand.
At 14, I tried really hard to persuade my mum to let me be online. I told her it was more damaging to me not being on social media, but her response was that she could see things I couldn't. I thought she was overstating and couldn't completely understand what it was like to be a teen growing up in a digital generation.
People ask me if I ever secretly downloaded social media during my teen years, but I didn't. The main thing that stopped me was that the conversation was always left open. My parents never shut me down when I asked for it: They would ask why I wanted it and then explain the positives and negatives of what it would be like to be online at the age I was. We had a strong relationship built on trust.
I am so glad I entered social media as a fully formed person rather than being formed by it. I would not be the person I am today if I'd had social media during my adolescent years.
1. What does the underlined word “secluded” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Ashamed. B. Disconnected.
C. Angry. D. Disappointed.
2. What can we infer from the author's NOT being allowed to be on social media at 14
A. She lacked spare time.
B. She had poor eyesight.
C. Her parents were concerned about her physical safety.
D. Her parents protected her from the negative impact of social media.
3. Why did the author never secretly download social media during her teen years
A. There was no Internet access.
B. She had no idea how to do it by herself.
C. She knew negative effects of social media.
D. There was a strong trust between her and her parents through talks.
4. Which is the best title for the text
A. Social Media in Teenage Life
B. A Must of Avoiding Social Media
C. Growing up Without Social Media
D. My Teens Monitored by My Parents
答案及解析:本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者直到17岁才拥有社交媒体,在此之前她一直是一个数字旁观者。作者的父母认为社交媒体会对她产生负面影响,因此没有允许她使用社交媒体。作者也很庆幸自己在成年后才进入社交媒体,因为社交媒体并没有塑造自己。
1. B 词义猜测题。根据文章第二段中的“New gossip would circulate in the evenings, but I would only find it out the next morning, by which point it was old news. Plus, there were certain new trends I just didn't understand.(晚上会有新的八卦流传,但我只能在第二天早上才发现,而那时已经是旧闻了。此外,还有一些我不理解的新趋势。)”可知,作者因为没有社交媒体,所以无法参与晚上的聊天,只能在第二天早上才知道发生了什么,也无法理解一些新的趋势。由此可知,作者作为一个青少年,没有社交媒体让她感到被孤立了。故画线词的意思是“被孤立的”,与disconnected的意思最为接近。故选B。
2. D 推理判断题。根据文章第三段中的“At 14, I tried really hard to persuade my mum to let me be online. I told her it was more damaging to me not being on social media, but her response was that she could see things I couldn't.(14岁的时候,我非常努力地说服母亲让我上网。我告诉她,我不使用社交媒体对我的伤害更大,但她的回答是,她能看到我看不到的东西。)”可知,作者的母亲认为社交媒体会对作者产生负面影响,所以没有允许作者使用社交媒体。由此可知,作者的父母保护她免受社交媒体的负面影响。故选D。
3. D 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“People ask me if I ever secretly downloaded social media…We had a strong relationship built on trust.(人们问我在青少年时期是否曾偷偷下载过社交媒体,但我没有。阻止我的主要原因是,我们的对话总是保持开放。当我提出要求时,我的父母从来没有拒绝过我:他们会问我为什么想要它,然后解释在我这个年龄上网会有什么样子的积极和消极影响。我们建立在信任的基础上的关系很牢固。)”可知,作者在青少年时期没有偷偷下载社交媒体,是因为她和父母之间有很牢固的信任关系,通过对话解决了这个问题。故选D。
4. C 标题归纳题。根据文章最后一段“I am so glad that I entered social media as a fully formed person rather than being formed by it. I would not be the person I am today if I'd had social media during my adolescent years.(我很高兴我是作为一个完整的人进入社交媒体的,而不是被它塑造的。如果我在青少年时期就使用社交媒体,我就不会是今天的我。)”可知,作者在17岁后才使用社交媒体,并且认为这对她的成长和发展有很大的帮助。由此可知,“Growing up Without Social Media(在没有社交媒体的环境中成长)”最能概括文章主旨。故选C。
B
Sign has become a scientific hot button. Only in the past 20 years have specialists in language study realized that sign language is unique—a speech of the hand. It offers a new way to look into how the brain generates and understands language, and throws new light on an old scientific debate: Whether language, complete with grammar, is something that we are born with, or whether it is a learned behavior. The current interest in sign language has roots in the pioneering work of one wise teacher Bill Stokoe at Gallaudet University in Washington, D. C., the world's only liberal arts university for deaf people.
When Bill Stokoe went to Gallaudet to teach English, the school enrolled him in a course in signing. But Stokoe noticed something odd: Among themselves, students signed differently from his classroom teacher.
Stokoe had been taught a sort of gestural code, each movement of the hands representing a word in English. At the time, American Sign Language (ASL) was thought to be no more than a form of pidgin English (混杂英语). But Stokoe believed the “hand talk” his students used looked richer. He wondered: Might deaf people actually have a genuine language And could that language be unlike any other on the Earth Back then, when even deaf people dismissed their signing as “substandard”. No wonder that Stokoe's idea was considered academically wrong then.
It is 37 years later. Stokoe—now devoting his time to writing and editing books and journals and to producing video materials on ASL and the deaf culture—is having lunch at a cafe near the Gallaudet campus and explaining how he started a revolution. For decades, educators fought his idea that sign language is natural language like English, French and Japanese. They assumed language must be based on speech, the adaptation of sound. But sign language is based on the movement of hands, the adaptation of space. “What I said,” Stokoe explains, “is that language is not mouth stuff—it's brain stuff.”
5. What does sign language bring
A. An end of an old scientific debate.
B. A new way to generate languages.
C. A challenge to traditional views.
D. A change of human languages.
6. What inspired Stokoe to study sign language
A. His wish to help the deaf.
B. His position as an English teacher.
C. Students' discrimination against ASL.
D. Different signs between teachers and students.
7. Which statement did many educators agree to
A. Sign language is just for deaf people.
B. Sign language is as natural as English.
C. A language should be based on the adaptation of space.
D. A language could only exist in the form of speech sounds.
8. What is the best title for the passage
A. Sign Language: A Genuine Language
B. A Hot Button in Sign Language
C. Bill Stokoe: A Pioneer in Language
D. Sign Language Not Mouth Stuff
答案及解析:本文是一篇议论文。文章论述“手语”语言。手语已经成为科学研究的热点。直到最近20年,语言研究专家才意识到手语是一种独特的语言——一种手的语言。它们为探索大脑如何产生和理解语言提供了一种新方法,并为一项古老的科学争议提供了新的视角:语言,包括语法,是我们与生俱来的,还是一种后天习得的行为。
5. C 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“It offers a new way to looks into how the brain…or whether it is a learned behavior.(他们提供了一种新的方式来研究大脑是如何产生和理解语言的,并为一项古老的科学争论提供了新的视角:语言,包括语法,是我们与生俱来的东西,还是一种后天习得的行为。)”可知,手语带来了对传统观点的挑战。故选C。
6. D 细节理解题。根据第二段“When Bill Stokoe went to Gallaudet to teach English, the school enrolled him in a course in signing. But Stokoe noticed something odd: Among themselves, students signed differently from his classroom teacher.(当比尔·斯托克去加劳德特大学教英语时,学校为他报名了一门手语课程。但斯托克注意到了一些奇怪的事情:学生们的手势与他的课堂老师不同。)”可知,老师和学生之间的不同手势激发了斯托克学习手语。故选D。
7. D 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“For decades, educators fought his idea that…the movement of hands, the adaptation of space.(几十年来,教育工作者一直反对他的观点,即手语是像英语、法语和日语一样的自然语言。他们认为语言必须以言语为基础,即声音的改编。但手语是基于手的运动,对空间的适应。)”可知,许多教育家认为语言只能以声音的形式存在。故选D。
8. A 标题归纳题。根据第一段中的“Sign has become a scientific hot button…or whether it is a learned behavior. (手语已经成为一个科学热点。只是在过去的20年里,语言研究专家才意识到手语是独特的——一种用手说话的语言。这提供了一种新的方式来研究大脑是如何产生和理解语言的,并为一个古老的科学争议提供了新的视角:语言,包括语法,是我们与生俱来的东西,还是一种后天习得的行为。)”以及第三段中的“He wondered: Might deaf people actually have a genuine language (他想知道:失聪的人是否真的有一种真正的语言 )”结合文章论述“手语”语言可知,A选项“手语:一种真正的语言”符合文章标题。故选A。
