一、阅读选择
（2020高二上·运城期末）阅读理解
What are the best careers for the future Of course, nobody can say for sure what the future holds. The best we can do is make educated guesses based on past and current trends. The occupations below are probably some of the most promising future careers.
1. Organizational disruptor
The expansion of companies often leads to some loss of their innovative ability, which weakens their competitiveness against those more creative start-ups. A disruptor would be responsible for promoting creativity, risk-taking, cooperation, and innovation, by bringing about some changes that might be wild in an organization.
2. Personal education guide
Compared with online programs today, education could be better able to meet individual needs, even with improved convenience. Like an adviser, a personal education guide may assist people with on-demand course selection or the planning of personalized training.
3. Custom body part manufacturer
Doctors may expect custom organs grown or 3D printed using their patients' own cells. After all, scientists' creation of hearts, kidneys, and livers has already had some success in the labs. Even external body parts inclining skin and ears have been grown.
4. Pharmaceutical artisan
The increasing popularity of 3D printing may enable the quick production of customized medications based on individual needs. It's possible that artisanal drugs would be created according to one's unique genes, habits, and medical history.
5. Brain implant specialist
We are making greater progress in understanding how the complex human brain works, so it's highly possible that we would create something amazing by combining the rapid advances in neuroscience with the advantages of computer technology. In the future, one can have a specialized computer chip put into his brain to treat certain health issues, such as diseases, mood disorders, and paralysis.

4．（2021高二下·安徽开学考）阅读理解
Mohanan,
a tractor driver from Ambalavayal, a town in India's Kerala state, has been
carrying a stick and an umbrella to work every day, for over a year. It's not
that he fears getting attacked by dogs or that he hates rain, but that he needs
to defend himself against the crows that always attack him whenever he
approaches a bus station where he once picked up two crow hatchlings (刚出壳的雏鸟) from under his tractor and placed them on the side of the road.
The
tractor driver recently said that crows nesting in the trees around the bus
station always attack him when he drives by. He said he even tried staying away
from that place for over a week, but it didn't matter. The crows were waiting
for him when he came back. Now he just uses his umbrella and stick for protection,
and throws the crows some food to distract them. "I give a share from my
lunch to the crows. Once they finish eating it, they will start attacking me
again," Mohanan laughingly said, adding that changing his clothes and
trying to disguise (伪装) himself didn't work
either.
The
crows' animosity toward Mohanan had become well known among the local
people, and while most find it funny, the tractor driver says the birds can be
pretty unkind, so much so in fact that a few months ago they caused severe damage
to his new umbrella during an attack.
Interestingly,
we featured a similar story just last month. One day, Shiva Kewat, a worker
from Madhya Pradesh, claims that he has been attacked by a group of crows for
the last three years, ever since he picked up a crow chick on the street.
（1）Why does Mohanan always cany an umbrella with him
A．Because he fears to get attacked by dogs.
B．Because he doesn't want to get caught in the rain.
C．Because he would like to protect himself from the sun.
D．Because he wants to defend himself against crows.
（2）What can we infer from Paragraph 2
A．Crows have great memory.
B．The tractor driver is an unkind man.
C．The crows finally forgive the tractor driver.
D．The tractor driver has to give up his job.
（3）What does the underlined word "animosity" probably mean
A．Fear. B．Unkindness. C．Curiosity. D．Understanding,
（4）What is the author's purpose in telling Shiva Kewat's story
A．To warn people to be careful next time they see crows.
B．To show Mohanan is not alone in being remembered by crows.
C．To remind people to live in harmony with animals.
D．To suggest Mohanan draw a lesson from Shiva Kewat's experience.
【答案】（1）D
（2）A
（3）B
（4）B
【知识点】推理判断题；词义猜测题；细节理解题；人物故事类；新闻报道类；记叙文
【解析】【分析】这是一篇新闻报道。文章讲述了，乌鸦是一种记仇的生物，一位司机被乌鸦误解，已经遭受了乌鸦一年多的攻击。
（1）由第一段中的“It's not that he fears getting attacked by dogs or that he hates rain, but that he needs to defend himself against the crows that always attack him whenever he approaches a bus station where he once picked up two crow hatchlings (刚出壳的雏鸟) from under his tractor and placed them on the side of the road. ”（这并不是因为他害怕被狗袭击，也不是因为他讨厌下雨，而是他需要保护自己不受乌鸦的攻击，因为每当他走近一个汽车站时，即他曾经从拖拉机下捡起两个乌鸦幼仔并把它们放在路边的地方，乌鸦总是攻击他。），可知Mohanan总是随身带着雨伞是为了保护自己免遭乌鸦的袭击。故选D。
（2）由第二段中的“He said he even tried staying away from that place for over a week, but it didn't matter. The crows were waiting for him when he came back. ”（他说他甚至试着离开那个地方一个多星期，但没关系。他回来时，乌鸦正在等他。）和“Mohanan laughingly said, adding that changing his clothes and trying to disguise (伪装)himself didn't work either. ”（Mohanan笑着说，并补充说，换衣服和试图伪装自己也没用。），可知无论是Mohanan离开一星期还是伪装，乌鸦还是能认出他，可得出乌鸦记忆力很好。故选A。
（3）由第三段“The crows' animosity toward Mohanan had become well known among the local people, and while most find it funny, the tractor driver says the birds can be pretty unkind, so much so in fact that a few months ago they caused severe damage to his new umbrella during an attack. ”（乌鸦对Mohanan的animosity在当地人中已经广为人知，虽然大多数人觉得很有趣，但拖拉机司机说，这些鸟可能非常不友善，以至于几个月前，它们在一次袭击中严重损坏了他的新伞。），可知拖拉机司机Mohanan说，乌鸦非常不友善，以至于在一次袭击中严重损坏了他的新伞，说明乌鸦对Mohanan有敌意/不和善，animosity在此处意为“Unkindness（不和善）”。故选B。
（4）由最后一段“Interestingly, we featured a similar story just last month. One day, Shiva Kewat, a worker from Madhya Pradesh, claims that he has been attacked by a group of crows for the last three years, ever since he picked up a crow chick on the street. ”（有趣的是，就在上个月，我们还报道了一个类似的故事。一天，来自中央邦的工人Shiva Kewat声称，自从他在街上捡到一只乌鸦雏鸟后，他在过去三年里一直遭到一群乌鸦的袭击。），可知另一位叫Shiva Kewat的人也被乌鸦记住了，受到了乌鸦的袭击，说明Mohanan并不是唯一一个被乌鸦记住的人并袭击的人。故选B。
【点评】考查阅读理解能力。本题考点涉及细节理解、推理判断和词义猜测三大常考题型。是一篇自然类新闻报道。要求考生在理解全文大意的前提下，捕捉具体信息，在掌握具体事实的基础上，通过对比、分析、归纳，推断出合理的结论，并根据上下文语境猜出单词意思。
（2020高二上·运城期末）阅读理解
Frankenstein's
monster might be one of the most popular roles people play when celebrating
Halloween. But do you know where this impressive image originally comes from
The
creation of Frankenstein dates back
to the summer of 1816, when some young people were spending their holiday in
Switzerland. Usually, the weather in summer was pleasant, but that summer it
rained quite a lot, so for most of the time, the group were trapped in their
cottage. They started thinking about entertaining activities to have fun.
Finally, they decided to join in the writing competition suggested by Lord
Byron: Everyone should write a scary ghost story and share it with others, and
the writer of the scariest one would win. During the competition, 18-year-old
Mary Shelley came up with the idea of an ugly monster created from human body
parts. Two years later, she published her first novel, Frankenstein,
Yet
Frankenstein isn't similar to other
honor books. In the book, the monster can explain the story from his
perspective. Although he is scary, ugly, and violent, he has understandable
human emotions, and the book indicates that his violent actions are reasonable.
He explains that he becomes cruel and violent because he has been treated
cruelly and violently by the scientist who creates him and also the people he
meets. The book raises awareness of our responsibilities to other people and
also inspires us to put ourselves in others' shoes.
It
also talks about an imaginary scientific experiment and its effects, and
because of this, it is considered as the first science fiction novel, or the
beginning of science fiction as a genre. This means that the novel has probably
influenced a lot of science fiction created later. Perhaps without Frankenstein, we wouldn't have the
chance to enjoy Edward Scissorhands,
Captain America, or Star Wars.
However,
I enjoy Frankenstein mostly because
it can be interpreted differently. The problems it covers are simple and
universal. It can be interpreted as a metaphor (隐喻) for family relationships, human
emotions, or individualism, or as a criticism of misuse of science.
5．Where did the idea of creating a monster from human body parts come from
A．An evening family gathering.
B．A Halloween party.
C．An entertaining writing competition.
D．A school science lab.
6．What can we infer about Frankenstein's monster
A．He desires tender loving care.
B．He is a monster with no human emotion.
C．He was created cruel and violent.
D．He had beautiful appearance at first.
7．Why does the author mention Edward Scissorhands, Captain America, and Star Wars in Paragraph 4
A．To show Frankenstein's influence.
B．To help readers know science fiction better.
C．To list some more science fiction novels.
D．To recommend readers to pick up these books.
8．What of Frankenstein appeals to the author most
A．The experiences its character has.
B．The problems of scientific experiments.
C．The way the novel came into being.
D．The themes the novel explores and inspires.
【答案】5．C
6．A
7．A
8．D
【知识点】推理判断题；细节理解题；说明文；社会文化类
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，讲述了怪物弗兰肯斯坦的诞生背景和《弗兰肯斯坦》的意义。
【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解和推理判断两个题型的考查，是一篇文化类阅读，考生需要准确捕捉细节息，并根据上下文进行逻辑推理，从而选出正确答案。
5．考查细节理解。根据第二段中的“They started thinking about entertaining activities to have fun. Finally, they decided to join in the writing competition suggested by Lord Byron: Everyone should write a scary ghost story and share it with others, and the writer of the scariest one would win. During the competition, 18-year-old Mary Shelley came up with the idea of an ugly monster created from human body parts.”他们开始考虑娱乐活动以获得乐趣。最后，他们决定参加拜伦勋爵建议的写作比赛：每个人都应该写一个可怕的鬼故事，并与其他人分享，而最可怕的作家将获胜。在比赛中，18岁的玛丽·雪莱想出了一个用人体器官制造丑陋怪物的主意。可知用人体器官制造丑陋怪物的主意是来自于一个有趣的写作比赛。故选C。
6．考查推理判断。根据第三段中的“Although he is scary, ugly, and violent, he has understandable human emotions, and the book indicates that his violent actions are reasonable. He explains that he becomes cruel and violent because he has been treated cruelly and violently by the scientist who creates him and also the people he meets. The book raises awareness of our responsibilities to other people and also inspires us to put ourselves in others' shoes.”虽然他是可怕的，丑陋的，暴力的，他有可以理解的人类情感，这本书表明，他的暴力行为是合理的。他解释说，他变得残忍和暴力是因为他受到了创造他的科学家和他遇到的人的残忍和暴力对待。这本书提高了我们对他人责任的意识，也激励我们设身处地为他人着想。可知怪物弗兰肯斯坦虽然可怕、丑陋的、暴力，但他可以理解的人类情感，他变得残忍和暴力是因为受到了人们的残忍和暴力（未被人类温柔以待），而它的出现提醒人们要对他人负有责任、为他人着想（避免弗兰肯斯坦的悲剧发生），说明人们需要给予怪物弗兰肯斯坦温柔的关爱，如果给予他渴望的温柔的关爱，弗兰肯斯坦就不会去伤害别人。故选A。
7．考查推理判断。根据第四段中的“This means that the novel has probably influenced a lot of science fiction created later. Perhaps without Frankenstein, we wouldn't have the chance to enjoy Edward Scissorhands, Captain America, or Star Wars.”这意味着这部小说可能已经影响了许多后来创作的科幻小说。也许没有《弗兰肯斯坦》，我们就没有机会欣赏《剪刀手爱德华》、《美国队长》或《星球大战》。可知作者提及《剪刀手爱德华》、《美国队长》或《星球大战》是为了显示《弗兰肯斯坦》对此后科幻小说创作的影响力。故选A。
8．考查细节理解。根据最后一段“However, I enjoy Frankenstein mostly because it can be interpreted differently. The problems it covers are simple and universal. It can be interpreted as a metaphor (隐喻) for family relationships, human emotions, or individualism, or as a criticism of misuse of science.”然而，我喜欢弗兰肯斯坦》，主要是因为它可以被不同的解释。它所涵盖的问题是简单和普遍的。它可以被解释为对家庭关系、人类情感或个人主义的隐喻，或者是对滥用科学的批评。可知《弗兰肯斯坦》最吸引作者的是这部小说引发了多个主题的探索和解释，作者可以从许多方面来探索这部小说。故选D。
（2020高二上·运城期末）阅读理解
Your
colleague^ critical comment keeps replaying in your mind. Two of your friends
are trapped in a "he said/she said" battle of wills. You can't shake
the anxiety you feel after hearing the latest news. We hear that it's important
to acknowledge and work through our emotional reactions to negative events, yet
when we do, we sometimes get caught up in cycles of rumination (反刍)—which can make us
feel even worse. So, what is the best way to reflect on difficult circumstances
without finding ourselves tossed around in an emotional spin cycle
The
answer may lie in a skill called "self-distancing", which features
the ability to take a step back and view yourself more objectively. According
to research, when people adopt self-distancing while discussing a difficult
event, they make better sense of their reactions, experience less emotional
suffering, and display fewer signs of stress.
But
what might self-distancing look like in action These two fiends—well call them
Tom and Jessica—feel wronged, and they replay their argument in their heads and
out loud with you! Jessica is thinking, can't believe he did that to me."
And Tom insists, "She really hurt my feelings. They are each focusing on
their own feelings. However, if you ask them to take the third-person
perspective of a distanced observer, they might step outside of themselves and
ask broader questions. Tom might literally wonder about himself, thinking in
the third person, "Why was he so hurt in this situation " Or Jessica
might ask, "How did these two people get to this point How did her anger
affect him " Although this approach may sound too simple to be effective,
numerous studies with children, adolescents, and adults (young and old)
indicate that a shift in point of view can have a powerful effect on the way we
think, feel, and behave.
9．Why are the difficult circumstances mentioned at the beginning of Paragraph 1
A．To show the seriousness of these problems.
B．To arouse readers' interest and introduce the topic.
C．To remind readers of the unhappy events.
D．To offer some ways to live in the present moment.
10．What does the text suggest people do about reflecting on negative events
A．Focus on the emotions in a direct way.
B．Acknowledge and work through the emotional reactions.
C．Talk about them and display suffering and stress.
D．Step back and view them as a distanced observer.
11．Which of the following adopts the self-distancing approach
A．I can't believe he did that to me.
B．She really hurt my feelings.
C．How did her anger affect him
D．How did we get to this point
12．What is the best tide for the passage
A．Self-Distancing Really Matters
B．Applying Self-Distancing to Practice
C．Difficult to Reflect Try Self-Distancing
D．Self-Distancing: No More Negative Events
【答案】9．B
10．D
11．C
12．C
【知识点】主旨大意题；推理判断题；细节理解题；说明文；学习教育类
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了一种叫做“自我疏远”的技巧，它的特点是能够后退一步，更客观地看待自己，让自己感觉更好。
【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解，推理判断和主旨大意三个题型的考查，是一篇教育类阅读，要求考生在捕捉细节信息的基础上，进一步根据上下文的逻辑关系，进行分析，推理，概括和归纳，从而选出正确答案。
9．考查推理判断。根据第一段中的“So, what is the best way to reflect on difficult circumstances without finding ourselves tossed around in an emotional spin cycle ”那么，什么是最好的方式来反思困难的环境，而不发现自己在一个情绪旋转周期中辗转反侧？可知人们会遇到困境，容易在一个情绪旋转周期中辗转反侧，不知道如何反思困境，本段用“困境”开头，就是为了引起读者的兴趣，介绍话题“如何处理这种困境中的反思——自我疏远”，为下文做铺垫。故选B。
10．考查细节理解。根据第二段中的“The answer may lie in a skill called‘self-distancing', which features the ability to take a step back and view yourself more objectively.”答案可能在于一种叫做“自我疏远”的技巧，它的特点是能够后退一步，更客观地看待自己。可知当人们反思负面事件时，可以采取“自我疏远”的技巧，即后退一步，把自己看作是一个遥远的观察者，更客观地看待自己。故选D。
11．考查细节理解。根据第三段中的“However, if you ask them to take the third-person perspective of a distanced observer, they might step outside of themselves and ask broader questions. Tom might literally wonder about himself, thinking in the third person, ‘Why was he so hurt in this situation " Or Jessica might ask, “How did these two people get to this point How did her anger affect him '”然而，如果你让他们用一个距离较远的观察者的第三人称的视角，他们可能会超越自己，提出更广泛的问题。Tom可能真的对自己感到疑惑，用第三人称思考，“他为什么在这种情况下如此受伤？”或者Jessica可能会问，“这两个人怎么会走到这一步？她的愤怒对他有什么影响？”可知采取了一个距离较远的观察者的第三人称的视角，即“自我疏远”的技巧，Jessica可能会问，“这两个人怎么会走到这一步？她的愤怒对他有什么影响？”。故选C。
12．考查主旨大意。第一段“用困境开头引起读者的兴趣，介绍话题——如何处理这种困境中的反思——为下文做铺垫”，第二段讲“当人们反思负面事件时，可以采取“自我疏远”的技巧，即后退一步，把自己看作是一个遥远的观察者，更客观地看待自己”，第三段讲“采取自我疏远技巧的例子”，可知文章主要介绍了反思负面事件时，可以尝试自我疏远的方法，“难以反省？尝试自我疏远”符合文意。故选C。
二、任务型阅读
（2020高二上·运城期末）任务型阅读
Reading
for fun is one of life's greatest pleasures. There's nothing quite like sinking
into an armchair with a beloved book and letting yourself be transported to the
world of an imaginative character.　13． 　 In our busy, technology-filled lives, it can
be hard to carve out the time to sit down with a book. Here are some tips on
how to become a good reader.
Create
a reading schedule. 　14． 　 Block out a period of time to dedicate to
reading every day, even if it's just ten minutes. Choose a time that's
stress-free. Read during a nice, quiet time. Enjoy a book with breakfast or as
you're getting ready for bed. Prepare a snack you love to eat while you read.
This will make you look forward to reading time!
　15． 　There's
no reason to immediately force yourself to read War and Peace when you're trying to get into reading. Start with
something that's easy and fun to read, regardless of its academic level. Pick
up your old favorite kids book or choose a young adult novel, most of which are
fast-paced, easy to read, and full of imaginative characters. Grab a favorite
like Harry Potter, or some Roald Dahl
classics like Matilda or James and the Giant Peach to get
started.
Experiment
with different genres. Don't limit yourself to one genre. Alternating between
genres such as fiction, non-fiction, fantasy, sci-fi, and history can keep you
constantly engaged and excited about reading. Science fiction and fantasy are
often great picks for people who don't love to read. 　16． 　Ender's
Game by Orson Scott Card and A
Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams are two widely adored
sci-fi classics.
Get
rid of distractions. Reading takes a lot of concentration, and it's impossible
to get into a book if you're constantly checking your email or Facebook or
distracted by outside noise. Find a quiet place and remove technological
distractions while you're reading. 　17． 　 Put your cell phone far enough away from you
that you won't pick it up to check your social media.
A. Start small.
B. Choose a book.
C. They're fun, imaginative,
and fast paced.
D. For some, however, reading
can feel like a burden.

historical fiction books, realistic fiction books, and so many others.
G. Turn off your cell phone
or put it on silent, unless you plan to use it to look up unfamiliar words.

The
first time I hear my family planned to climb on the weekend, I thought it was
the end of the world so I was not good at sports at all. To cheering me up, my
father told us the first one to get to the top of the mountain would given a
prize. Upon hearing this, we began to run up. Although my sister was well ahead
of him, I didn't give up. The prize attracted me so much as I kept running
forward. Surprising, I reached the top at first. I turned out to be the happy
of all, because I not only got the prize but also knew that one shouldn't give
up easily. Now I am already 18 year old, but the memory of my childhood is
still fresh.

【知识点】短文改错
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，作者回忆了小时候的周末攀岩经历。
①句意：当我第一次听到家人计划周末攀岩时，我以为那是世界末日，因为我根本不擅长运动。由全文语境可知，文章讲述了作者小时候的一次周末攀岩经历，时态用一般过去时，hear用一般过去时。故hear改为heard。
②句意：当我第一次听到家人计划周末攀岩时，我以为那是世界末日，因为我根本不擅长运动。“I thought it was the end of the world”是果，“I was not good at sports at all”是因，用连词because。故so改为because。
③句意：为了让我高兴起来，我父亲告诉我们第一个登上山顶的人会得到奖品。“To cheering me up”是目的状语，用动词不定式作目的状语，故cheering改为cheer。
④句意：为了让我高兴起来，我父亲告诉我们第一个登上山顶的人会得到奖品。主语the first one to get to the top of the mountain和谓语动词give是被动关系，结合情态动词would可知，用情态动词的被动语态，加上be。故在would后面加be。
⑤句意：虽然我姐姐远远领先于我，但我没有放弃。本文以第一人称展开叙述，此处用宾格代词“me”指代“我”。故him改为me。
⑥句意：奖品如此吸引我，以至于我一直向前跑。由句意可知，本句是由so…that…“如何……以至于……”引导的结果状语从句。故as改为that。
⑦句意：令人惊讶的是，我第一个到达了山顶。此处用副词作状语修饰后面整个句子，首字母大写。故Surprising改为Surprisingly。
⑧句意：令人惊讶的是，我第一个到达了山顶。此处表达“第一个到达了山顶”，first可做副词使用，at多余。故去掉at。
⑨句意：我是所有人中最快乐的，因为我不仅得到了奖品，而且知道一个人不应该轻易放弃。“of all”指三者以上，形容词happy前有定冠词the修饰，用形容词happy的最高级形式。故happy改为happiest。
⑩句意：现在我已经18岁了，但我对童年的记忆仍然历历在目。year是可数名词，由数词18修饰，用名词复数形式。故year改为years。

（2020高二上·运城期末）阅读理解
What are the best careers for the future Of course, nobody can say for sure what the future holds. The best we can do is make educated guesses based on past and current trends. The occupations below are probably some of the most promising future careers.
1. Organizational disruptor
The expansion of companies often leads to some loss of their innovative ability, which weakens their competitiveness against those more creative start-ups. A disruptor would be responsible for promoting creativity, risk-taking, cooperation, and innovation, by bringing about some changes that might be wild in an organization.
2. Personal education guide
Compared with online programs today, education could be better able to meet individual needs, even with improved convenience. Like an adviser, a personal education guide may assist people with on-demand course selection or the planning of personalized training.
3. Custom body part manufacturer
Doctors may expect custom organs grown or 3D printed using their patients' own cells. After all, scientists' creation of hearts, kidneys, and livers has already had some success in the labs. Even external body parts inclining skin and ears have been grown.
4. Pharmaceutical artisan
The increasing popularity of 3D printing may enable the quick production of customized medications based on individual needs. It's possible that artisanal drugs would be created according to one's unique genes, habits, and medical history.
5. Brain implant specialist
We are making greater progress in understanding how the complex human brain works, so it's highly possible that we would create something amazing by combining the rapid advances in neuroscience with the advantages of computer technology. In the future, one can have a specialized computer chip put into his brain to treat certain health issues, such as diseases, mood disorders, and paralysis.
1．Whom should you contact if you want to train to be more competitive
A．A brain implant specialist. B．An organizational disruptor.
C．A custom body part manufacturer. D．A personal education guide.

4．（2021高二下·安徽开学考）阅读理解
Mohanan,
a tractor driver from Ambalavayal, a town in India's Kerala state, has been
carrying a stick and an umbrella to work every day, for over a year. It's not
that he fears getting attacked by dogs or that he hates rain, but that he needs
to defend himself against the crows that always attack him whenever he
approaches a bus station where he once picked up two crow hatchlings (刚出壳的雏鸟) from under his tractor and placed them on the side of the road.
The
tractor driver recently said that crows nesting in the trees around the bus
station always attack him when he drives by. He said he even tried staying away
from that place for over a week, but it didn't matter. The crows were waiting
for him when he came back. Now he just uses his umbrella and stick for protection,
and throws the crows some food to distract them. "I give a share from my
lunch to the crows. Once they finish eating it, they will start attacking me
again," Mohanan laughingly said, adding that changing his clothes and
trying to disguise (伪装) himself didn't work
either.
The
crows' animosity toward Mohanan had become well known among the local
people, and while most find it funny, the tractor driver says the birds can be
pretty unkind, so much so in fact that a few months ago they caused severe damage
to his new umbrella during an attack.
Interestingly,
we featured a similar story just last month. One day, Shiva Kewat, a worker
from Madhya Pradesh, claims that he has been attacked by a group of crows for
the last three years, ever since he picked up a crow chick on the street.
（1）Why does Mohanan always cany an umbrella with him
A．Because he fears to get attacked by dogs.
B．Because he doesn't want to get caught in the rain.
C．Because he would like to protect himself from the sun.
D．Because he wants to defend himself against crows.
（2）What can we infer from Paragraph 2
A．Crows have great memory.
B．The tractor driver is an unkind man.
C．The crows finally forgive the tractor driver.
D．The tractor driver has to give up his job.
（3）What does the underlined word "animosity" probably mean
A．Fear. B．Unkindness. C．Curiosity. D．Understanding,
（4）What is the author's purpose in telling Shiva Kewat's story
A．To warn people to be careful next time they see crows.
B．To show Mohanan is not alone in being remembered by crows.
C．To remind people to live in harmony with animals.
D．To suggest Mohanan draw a lesson from Shiva Kewat's experience.

Frankenstein's
monster might be one of the most popular roles people play when celebrating
Halloween. But do you know where this impressive image originally comes from
The
creation of Frankenstein dates back
to the summer of 1816, when some young people were spending their holiday in
Switzerland. Usually, the weather in summer was pleasant, but that summer it
rained quite a lot, so for most of the time, the group were trapped in their
cottage. They started thinking about entertaining activities to have fun.
Finally, they decided to join in the writing competition suggested by Lord
Byron: Everyone should write a scary ghost story and share it with others, and
the writer of the scariest one would win. During the competition, 18-year-old
Mary Shelley came up with the idea of an ugly monster created from human body
parts. Two years later, she published her first novel, Frankenstein,
Yet
Frankenstein isn't similar to other
honor books. In the book, the monster can explain the story from his
perspective. Although he is scary, ugly, and violent, he has understandable
human emotions, and the book indicates that his violent actions are reasonable.
He explains that he becomes cruel and violent because he has been treated
cruelly and violently by the scientist who creates him and also the people he
meets. The book raises awareness of our responsibilities to other people and
also inspires us to put ourselves in others' shoes.
It
also talks about an imaginary scientific experiment and its effects, and
because of this, it is considered as the first science fiction novel, or the
beginning of science fiction as a genre. This means that the novel has probably
influenced a lot of science fiction created later. Perhaps without Frankenstein, we wouldn't have the
chance to enjoy Edward Scissorhands,
Captain America, or Star Wars.
However,
I enjoy Frankenstein mostly because
it can be interpreted differently. The problems it covers are simple and
universal. It can be interpreted as a metaphor (隐喻) for family relationships, human
emotions, or individualism, or as a criticism of misuse of science.
5．Where did the idea of creating a monster from human body parts come from
A．An evening family gathering.
B．A Halloween party.
C．An entertaining writing competition.
D．A school science lab.
6．What can we infer about Frankenstein's monster
A．He desires tender loving care.
B．He is a monster with no human emotion.
C．He was created cruel and violent.
D．He had beautiful appearance at first.
7．Why does the author mention Edward Scissorhands, Captain America, and Star Wars in Paragraph 4
A．To show Frankenstein's influence.
B．To help readers know science fiction better.
C．To list some more science fiction novels.
D．To recommend readers to pick up these books.
8．What of Frankenstein appeals to the author most
A．The experiences its character has.
B．The problems of scientific experiments.
C．The way the novel came into being.
D．The themes the novel explores and inspires.

Your
colleague^ critical comment keeps replaying in your mind. Two of your friends
are trapped in a "he said/she said" battle of wills. You can't shake
the anxiety you feel after hearing the latest news. We hear that it's important
to acknowledge and work through our emotional reactions to negative events, yet
when we do, we sometimes get caught up in cycles of rumination (反刍)—which can make us
feel even worse. So, what is the best way to reflect on difficult circumstances
without finding ourselves tossed around in an emotional spin cycle
The
answer may lie in a skill called "self-distancing", which features
the ability to take a step back and view yourself more objectively. According
to research, when people adopt self-distancing while discussing a difficult
event, they make better sense of their reactions, experience less emotional
suffering, and display fewer signs of stress.
But
what might self-distancing look like in action These two fiends—well call them
Tom and Jessica—feel wronged, and they replay their argument in their heads and
out loud with you! Jessica is thinking, can't believe he did that to me."
And Tom insists, "She really hurt my feelings. They are each focusing on
their own feelings. However, if you ask them to take the third-person
perspective of a distanced observer, they might step outside of themselves and
ask broader questions. Tom might literally wonder about himself, thinking in
the third person, "Why was he so hurt in this situation " Or Jessica
might ask, "How did these two people get to this point How did her anger
affect him " Although this approach may sound too simple to be effective,
numerous studies with children, adolescents, and adults (young and old)
indicate that a shift in point of view can have a powerful effect on the way we
think, feel, and behave.
9．Why are the difficult circumstances mentioned at the beginning of Paragraph 1
A．To show the seriousness of these problems.
B．To arouse readers' interest and introduce the topic.
C．To remind readers of the unhappy events.
D．To offer some ways to live in the present moment.
10．What does the text suggest people do about reflecting on negative events
A．Focus on the emotions in a direct way.
B．Acknowledge and work through the emotional reactions.
C．Talk about them and display suffering and stress.
D．Step back and view them as a distanced observer.
11．Which of the following adopts the self-distancing approach
A．I can't believe he did that to me.
B．She really hurt my feelings.
C．How did her anger affect him
D．How did we get to this point
12．What is the best tide for the passage
A．Self-Distancing Really Matters
B．Applying Self-Distancing to Practice
C．Difficult to Reflect Try Self-Distancing
D．Self-Distancing: No More Negative Events

Reading
for fun is one of life's greatest pleasures. There's nothing quite like sinking
into an armchair with a beloved book and letting yourself be transported to the
world of an imaginative character.　13． 　 In our busy, technology-filled lives, it can
be hard to carve out the time to sit down with a book. Here are some tips on
how to become a good reader.
Create
a reading schedule. 　14． 　 Block out a period of time to dedicate to
reading every day, even if it's just ten minutes. Choose a time that's
stress-free. Read during a nice, quiet time. Enjoy a book with breakfast or as
you're getting ready for bed. Prepare a snack you love to eat while you read.
This will make you look forward to reading time!
　15． 　There's
no reason to immediately force yourself to read War and Peace when you're trying to get into reading. Start with
something that's easy and fun to read, regardless of its academic level. Pick
up your old favorite kids book or choose a young adult novel, most of which are
fast-paced, easy to read, and full of imaginative characters. Grab a favorite
like Harry Potter, or some Roald Dahl
classics like Matilda or James and the Giant Peach to get
started.
Experiment
with different genres. Don't limit yourself to one genre. Alternating between
genres such as fiction, non-fiction, fantasy, sci-fi, and history can keep you
constantly engaged and excited about reading. Science fiction and fantasy are
often great picks for people who don't love to read. 　16． 　Ender's

4．【答案】（1）D
（2）A
（3）B
（4）B
【知识点】推理判断题；词义猜测题；细节理解题；人物故事类；新闻报道类；记叙文
【解析】【分析】这是一篇新闻报道。文章讲述了，乌鸦是一种记仇的生物，一位司机被乌鸦误解，已经遭受了乌鸦一年多的攻击。
（1）由第一段中的“It's not that he fears getting attacked by dogs or that he hates rain, but that he needs to defend himself against the crows that always attack him whenever he approaches a bus station where he once picked up two crow hatchlings (刚出壳的雏鸟) from under his tractor and placed them on the side of the road. ”（这并不是因为他害怕被狗袭击，也不是因为他讨厌下雨，而是他需要保护自己不受乌鸦的攻击，因为每当他走近一个汽车站时，即他曾经从拖拉机下捡起两个乌鸦幼仔并把它们放在路边的地方，乌鸦总是攻击他。），可知Mohanan总是随身带着雨伞是为了保护自己免遭乌鸦的袭击。故选D。
（2）由第二段中的“He said he even tried staying away from that place for over a week, but it didn't matter. The crows were waiting for him when he came back. ”（他说他甚至试着离开那个地方一个多星期，但没关系。他回来时，乌鸦正在等他。）和“Mohanan laughingly said, adding that changing his clothes and trying to disguise (伪装)himself didn't work either. ”（Mohanan笑着说，并补充说，换衣服和试图伪装自己也没用。），可知无论是Mohanan离开一星期还是伪装，乌鸦还是能认出他，可得出乌鸦记忆力很好。故选A。
（3）由第三段“The crows' animosity toward Mohanan had become well known among the local people, and while most find it funny, the tractor driver says the birds can be pretty unkind, so much so in fact that a few months ago they caused severe damage to his new umbrella during an attack. ”（乌鸦对Mohanan的animosity在当地人中已经广为人知，虽然大多数人觉得很有趣，但拖拉机司机说，这些鸟可能非常不友善，以至于几个月前，它们在一次袭击中严重损坏了他的新伞。），可知拖拉机司机Mohanan说，乌鸦非常不友善，以至于在一次袭击中严重损坏了他的新伞，说明乌鸦对Mohanan有敌意/不和善，animosity在此处意为“Unkindness（不和善）”。故选B。
（4）由最后一段“Interestingly, we featured a similar story just last month. One day, Shiva Kewat, a worker from Madhya Pradesh, claims that he has been attacked by a group of crows for the last three years, ever since he picked up a crow chick on the street. ”（有趣的是，就在上个月，我们还报道了一个类似的故事。一天，来自中央邦的工人Shiva Kewat声称，自从他在街上捡到一只乌鸦雏鸟后，他在过去三年里一直遭到一群乌鸦的袭击。），可知另一位叫Shiva Kewat的人也被乌鸦记住了，受到了乌鸦的袭击，说明Mohanan并不是唯一一个被乌鸦记住的人并袭击的人。故选B。
【点评】考查阅读理解能力。本题考点涉及细节理解、推理判断和词义猜测三大常考题型。是一篇自然类新闻报道。要求考生在理解全文大意的前提下，捕捉具体信息，在掌握具体事实的基础上，通过对比、分析、归纳，推断出合理的结论，并根据上下文语境猜出单词意思。
【答案】5．C
6．A
7．A
8．D
【知识点】推理判断题；细节理解题；说明文；社会文化类
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，讲述了怪物弗兰肯斯坦的诞生背景和《弗兰肯斯坦》的意义。
【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解和推理判断两个题型的考查，是一篇文化类阅读，考生需要准确捕捉细节息，并根据上下文进行逻辑推理，从而选出正确答案。
5．考查细节理解。根据第二段中的“They started thinking about entertaining activities to have fun. Finally, they decided to join in the writing competition suggested by Lord Byron: Everyone should write a scary ghost story and share it with others, and the writer of the scariest one would win. During the competition, 18-year-old Mary Shelley came up with the idea of an ugly monster created from human body parts.”他们开始考虑娱乐活动以获得乐趣。最后，他们决定参加拜伦勋爵建议的写作比赛：每个人都应该写一个可怕的鬼故事，并与其他人分享，而最可怕的作家将获胜。在比赛中，18岁的玛丽·雪莱想出了一个用人体器官制造丑陋怪物的主意。可知用人体器官制造丑陋怪物的主意是来自于一个有趣的写作比赛。故选C。
6．考查推理判断。根据第三段中的“Although he is scary, ugly, and violent, he has understandable human emotions, and the book indicates that his violent actions are reasonable. He explains that he becomes cruel and violent because he has been treated cruelly and violently by the scientist who creates him and also the people he meets. The book raises awareness of our responsibilities to other people and also inspires us to put ourselves in others' shoes.”虽然他是可怕的，丑陋的，暴力的，他有可以理解的人类情感，这本书表明，他的暴力行为是合理的。他解释说，他变得残忍和暴力是因为他受到了创造他的科学家和他遇到的人的残忍和暴力对待。这本书提高了我们对他人责任的意识，也激励我们设身处地为他人着想。可知怪物弗兰肯斯坦虽然可怕、丑陋的、暴力，但他可以理解的人类情感，他变得残忍和暴力是因为受到了人们的残忍和暴力（未被人类温柔以待），而它的出现提醒人们要对他人负有责任、为他人着想（避免弗兰肯斯坦的悲剧发生），说明人们需要给予怪物弗兰肯斯坦温柔的关爱，如果给予他渴望的温柔的关爱，弗兰肯斯坦就不会去伤害别人。故选A。
7．考查推理判断。根据第四段中的“This means that the novel has probably influenced a lot of science fiction created later. Perhaps without Frankenstein, we wouldn't have the chance to enjoy Edward Scissorhands, Captain America, or Star Wars.”这意味着这部小说可能已经影响了许多后来创作的科幻小说。也许没有《弗兰肯斯坦》，我们就没有机会欣赏《剪刀手爱德华》、《美国队长》或《星球大战》。可知作者提及《剪刀手爱德华》、《美国队长》或《星球大战》是为了显示《弗兰肯斯坦》对此后科幻小说创作的影响力。故选A。
8．考查细节理解。根据最后一段“However, I enjoy Frankenstein mostly because it can be interpreted differently. The problems it covers are simple and universal. It can be interpreted as a metaphor (隐喻) for family relationships, human emotions, or individualism, or as a criticism of misuse of science.”然而，我喜欢弗兰肯斯坦》，主要是因为它可以被不同的解释。它所涵盖的问题是简单和普遍的。它可以被解释为对家庭关系、人类情感或个人主义的隐喻，或者是对滥用科学的批评。可知《弗兰肯斯坦》最吸引作者的是这部小说引发了多个主题的探索和解释，作者可以从许多方面来探索这部小说。故选D。
【答案】9．B
10．D
11．C
12．C
【知识点】主旨大意题；推理判断题；细节理解题；说明文；学习教育类
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了一种叫做“自我疏远”的技巧，它的特点是能够后退一步，更客观地看待自己，让自己感觉更好。
【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解，推理判断和主旨大意三个题型的考查，是一篇教育类阅读，要求考生在捕捉细节信息的基础上，进一步根据上下文的逻辑关系，进行分析，推理，概括和归纳，从而选出正确答案。
9．考查推理判断。根据第一段中的“So, what is the best way to reflect on difficult circumstances without finding ourselves tossed around in an emotional spin cycle ”那么，什么是最好的方式来反思困难的环境，而不发现自己在一个情绪旋转周期中辗转反侧？可知人们会遇到困境，容易在一个情绪旋转周期中辗转反侧，不知道如何反思困境，本段用“困境”开头，就是为了引起读者的兴趣，介绍话题“如何处理这种困境中的反思——自我疏远”，为下文做铺垫。故选B。
10．考查细节理解。根据第二段中的“The answer may lie in a skill called‘self-distancing', which features the ability to take a step back and view yourself more objectively.”答案可能在于一种叫做“自我疏远”的技巧，它的特点是能够后退一步，更客观地看待自己。可知当人们反思负面事件时，可以采取“自我疏远”的技巧，即后退一步，把自己看作是一个遥远的观察者，更客观地看待自己。故选D。
11．考查细节理解。根据第三段中的“However, if you ask them to take the third-person perspective of a distanced observer, they might step outside of themselves and ask broader questions. Tom might literally wonder about himself, thinking in the third person, ‘Why was he so hurt in this situation " Or Jessica might ask, “How did these two people get to this point How did her anger affect him '”然而，如果你让他们用一个距离较远的观察者的第三人称的视角，他们可能会超越自己，提出更广泛的问题。Tom可能真的对自己感到疑惑，用第三人称思考，“他为什么在这种情况下如此受伤？”或者Jessica可能会问，“这两个人怎么会走到这一步？她的愤怒对他有什么影响？”可知采取了一个距离较远的观察者的第三人称的视角，即“自我疏远”的技巧，Jessica可能会问，“这两个人怎么会走到这一步？她的愤怒对他有什么影响？”。故选C。
12．考查主旨大意。第一段“用困境开头引起读者的兴趣，介绍话题——如何处理这种困境中的反思——为下文做铺垫”，第二段讲“当人们反思负面事件时，可以采取“自我疏远”的技巧，即后退一步，把自己看作是一个遥远的观察者，更客观地看待自己”，第三段讲“采取自我疏远技巧的例子”，可知文章主要介绍了反思负面事件时，可以尝试自我疏远的方法，“难以反省？尝试自我疏远”符合文意。故选C。

38．句意：对某些人来说，浪漫主义作曲家如肖邦和柴可夫斯基提高了爱和同情的感觉。修饰名词composers，应用形容词作定语。故填romantic。
39．句意：但有一位音乐家——沃尔夫冈·阿玛德乌斯·莫扎特似乎有一种独特的治愈人体的能力。ability此处表泛指“一种独特的能力”，应用不定冠词，且unique是发音以辅音音素开头的单词，应用a。故填a。
40．句意：科学家发现，莫扎特的音乐在使听者平静下来方面具有非凡的能力。修饰名词ability，应用不定式作后置定语。故填to calm。
41．句意：它还可以增加他们的认知，帮助他们更清楚地表达自己。修饰动词express应用副词作状语。故填clearly。
42．句意：有许多记载了使用莫扎特作为治疗药物的惊奇案例。use sth. as固定短语，“用……作为……”，故填as。
43．句意：例如，一个名叫Krissy的早产婴儿出生时只有1.5磅重，需要依靠人工维持生命，name与逻辑主语baby构成被动关系，应用过去分词作定语。故填named。
44．句意：Krissy活了下来，但她对于同龄人来说非常小，而且比一般的孩子迟钝。结合前后文语境，“Krissy lived, she was very small for her age and slower than the average child”可知为转折关系，应用连词but。故填but。
45．句意：令他们惊讶的是，Krissy能够凭记忆弹奏出远超普通四岁儿童能力的曲子。to one's astonishment，固定短语，“令某人惊讶的是”，故填astonishment。

【知识点】短文改错
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，作者回忆了小时候的周末攀岩经历。
①句意：当我第一次听到家人计划周末攀岩时，我以为那是世界末日，因为我根本不擅长运动。由全文语境可知，文章讲述了作者小时候的一次周末攀岩经历，时态用一般过去时，hear用一般过去时。故hear改为heard。
②句意：当我第一次听到家人计划周末攀岩时，我以为那是世界末日，因为我根本不擅长运动。“I thought it was the end of the world”是果，“I was not good at sports at all”是因，用连词because。故so改为because。
③句意：为了让我高兴起来，我父亲告诉我们第一个登上山顶的人会得到奖品。“To cheering me up”是目的状语，用动词不定式作目的状语，故cheering改为cheer。
④句意：为了让我高兴起来，我父亲告诉我们第一个登上山顶的人会得到奖品。主语the first one to get to the top of the mountain和谓语动词give是被动关系，结合情态动词would可知，用情态动词的被动语态，加上be。故在would后面加be。
⑤句意：虽然我姐姐远远领先于我，但我没有放弃。本文以第一人称展开叙述，此处用宾格代词“me”指代“我”。故him改为me。
⑥句意：奖品如此吸引我，以至于我一直向前跑。由句意可知，本句是由so…that…“如何……以至于……”引导的结果状语从句。故as改为that。
⑦句意：令人惊讶的是，我第一个到达了山顶。此处用副词作状语修饰后面整个句子，首字母大写。故Surprising改为Surprisingly。
⑧句意：令人惊讶的是，我第一个到达了山顶。此处表达“第一个到达了山顶”，first可做副词使用，at多余。故去掉at。
⑨句意：我是所有人中最快乐的，因为我不仅得到了奖品，而且知道一个人不应该轻易放弃。“of all”指三者以上，形容词happy前有定冠词the修饰，用形容词happy的最高级形式。故happy改为happiest。
⑩句意：现在我已经18岁了，但我对童年的记忆仍然历历在目。year是可数名词，由数词18修饰，用名词复数形式。故year改为years。
【点评】考查短文改错，本题考点涉及时态，状语从句，非谓语动词，代词，副词，介词，形容词以及名词等多个知识点的考查，是一篇故事类阅读，覆盖面广，综合性强，难度较大，区分度高。
