Unit 2 Poems
Ⅰ.阅读理解(2018南昌高三二模)
A small family approached.The daughter was young and pretty.Her name was Blair,and she was obviously leaving.Her parents were not.The three gazed at the crowd and began their wait.Blair was twenty-three,fresh from graduate school with a handsome resume (简历) but not ready for a career.A friend from college was in Africa as a volunteer for Peace Work,which had inspired Blair to devote the next two years to helping others.Her assignment was in eastern Peru,where she would teach primitive little children how to read.She would live in a hut with no modern conveniences,no electricity,no phone,and she was anxious to begin her journey.
The flight would take her to Miami,then to Lima,then by bus for three days into the mountains,into another century.For the first time in her young and sheltered life,Blair would spend Christmas away from home.
Luther,her father,was sad that Blair was leaving.The goodbyes had all been said.“Are you sure this is what you want?” had been asked for the hundredth time.Then,the first announcement was made,the one asking those in first class to come forward.
“I guess we ’ d better go,”Luther said to his daughter,his only child.They hugged again and fought back the tears.Blair smiled and said,“The year will fly by.I’ll be home next Christmas.”
Nora,her mother,bit her lip and nodded and kissed her once more.“Please be careful,”she said because she couldn’t stop saying it.
“I’ll be fine.”
They released her and watched helplessly as she joined a long line and inched away,away from them,away from home and security and everything she’ d ever known.They turned and got into endless sadness.
1.What’s the reason for Blair’s decision to help others?
A.Her college’s requirement. B.Her friend’s behavior.
C.Her successful career. D.Her parents’ support.
2.What were the family waiting for?
A.The flight to Miami. B.The flight to Lima.
C.The bus to the mountains. D.The bus to another century.
3.Which words can best describe Luther and Nora’s feelings?
A.Pleased and appreciative. B.Indifferent and cold.
C.Heartbroken but relaxed. D.Understanding but worried.
4.What can we infer about Blair in the passage?
A.She was twenty-three years old.
B.She was tired of city life.
C.She would be in first class in the flight.
D.She used to spend Christmas in Peru.
语篇解读:本文是一篇记叙文。文章叙述了刚刚大学毕业就去秘鲁的偏远山区做志愿者的Blair和父母在机场告别时的情景以及他们内心的感受。
答案及剖析:
1.B 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“A friend from college was in Africa as a volunteer for Peace Work,which had inspired Blair to devote the next two years to helping others.”可知,Blair大学时的一个朋友在非洲做志愿者的行为激励了Blair决定去帮助别人。故选B。
2.A 细节理解题。根据第二段第一句“The flight would take her to Miami,then to Lima,then by bus for three days into the mountains,into another century.”和文章关于机场送行的描述可知,这一家人正在机场等飞往Miami的航班。故选A。
3.D 推理判断题。根据第三段“‘Are you sure this is what you want?’ had been asked for the hundredth time.”和第五段“Nora,her mother,bit her lip and nodded and kissed her once more.‘Please be careful,’she said because she couldn’t stop saying it.”中父母向女儿告别时的表现和所说的话可推知,他们很担心女儿但理解她所做的决定。
故选D。
4.C 推理判断题。根据第三段最后一句“Then,the first announcement was made,the one asking those in first class to come forward.”及下一段Blair的父亲所说的“I guess we’d better go”可推知,Blair乘坐的是头等舱。故选C。A项在原文中已提到,不用推断,故排除。
Ⅱ.七选五(2018合肥第二次质量检测)
Empathy,the Key to Being Kind
In science class,your teacher tells everyone to find a partner for a project.Out of the corner of your eye,you notice one girl sitting alone and not making eye contact with anyone.You think about asking her to be your partner,but you’re afraid people will think you’re uncool.You don’t reach out to her.1. ?
Empathy is being able to understand and actually feel what someone else is feeling.For some people,this comes naturally;for others,it takes a bit more work.
2. When you practice being empathetic,it gets easier to make kindness part of your everyday life.If you can understand why people are feeling down,you’ll want to help them.Here are some ideas that can help you!?
3. Not being able to find a group in class might not seem like a big deal—but part of being kind is noticing when someone seems sad,hurt or uncomfortable.After all,you have to notice how people feel in order to feel empathy and want to help them!?
When you’re trying to make kindness second nature,really getting other
people’s feelings is important.4. Think about a time when you felt that way.Didn’t you wish someone would reach out to you?If someone had offered you a few words of comfort,wouldn’t it have made you feel so much happier??
So,when you find people around you who are feeling down next time, do not hesitate to put yourself in their shoes and reach out to them with a kind gesture.5. There is always a time when you expect others to relate to you and feel what you feel.?
A.And your kindness will be finally rewarded.
B.But empathy is super important to being kind.
C.Be open to learning more about what you don ’ t understand.
D.One way to practice empathy is to pay attention to the people around you.
E.However,you never know showing empathy may make all the difference to her.
F.You don ’ t have to have a similar background to someone else to feel empathy for them.
G.Whenever you find someone might be feeling lonely or sad,put yourself in his shoes.
答案:1-5 EBDGA
