集训02 阅读理解记叙文
1. （2024·广东·模拟预测）When I was a child, my grandmother often said people and communication mattered. She backed that up with her own behavior. When she walked down the street, she would speak to everyone. It didn’t matter if you were an elderly person or a child, or if you spoke English or Spanish. She just smiled and talked to everyone.
However, as she aged, she noticed that her approach was becoming rare.She talked about how, in the age of technology, most people don’t think they have time for longer communications than text messages. In fact, people barely speak to one another nowadays. As much as I hated to admit it, I had noticed it too.
My grandmother’s wisdom inspired me to have a pen pal. It all started in 2013. I went to the University of Southern California to meet with Kerstin Zilm, who wanted to interview me about being a student struggling financially (经济上地). I didn’t know much about German culture or the German audience who would listen to the show, but I agreed to do so because I remembered my grandmother’s wisdom. I felt that speaking about my story was better than keeping it to myself. You never knew who could learn from your life experiences.
Soon after knowing my story from the show, a woman named Renate reached out to me, asking how she could help me financially with college. I was grateful that Renate wanted to help, but my pride didn’t allow me to accept money. Thinking of my grandmother’s wisdom, I didn’t let the communication stop. I emailed Renate back, thanking her for her kindness sincerely.
From then on, Renate and I often emailed each other. She even sent me gifts and cakes on my birthday. And whenever I was in trouble, she was always there. She sent me virtual (虚拟的) hugs at the moments when I needed them most. Though I have never met her in person, she is one of the most important people in my life. And I promise I will turn all the virtual hugs into real ones one day.

2.（2024·广东茂名·统考一模）In the 7th grade, I was a naughty boy. Ms. Dinos pulled me aside for a fateful chat. What she had to say was simple—I was a follower with the potential of a leader, and what I needed was some new friends and some time to grow up. She suggested to my mother that I repeat the 7th grade. After a pout (噘嘴), a plea and a prayer, I made a deal, “give me the summer and I’ll show you!”
That summer, I made it my business to do just that. By the following school year, I was awarded a medal that valued my efforts. Two of those three friends she warned me of eventually became alcoholics—one an ex-con (前科犯), the other a woman-beater. Ms. Dinos saved my life.
Twenty years later, Ms. Dinos and I were reunited on the internet. However, she didn’t remember the event at all. Right then it hit me. That event that meant so much to me was just a singular moment in her well-lived life. And I learnt that Ms. Dinos had since become a famous garden designer, for she had a gift for planting seeds.
It was only months after reuniting with Ms. Dinos that an old student of my own popped up online. She informed me of the moment that I inspired her. According to her, I once shared a drawing of mine with the class. That student was so moved by the drawing that she wanted to learn to do the same. That picture ignited in her a passion that she later turned into a career. My own little seed was planted and now has grown.
Now understanding what I do about the power of planting seeds, I take every opportunity: share what I can with as many young people as possible. I offer bits of wisdom or words of encouragement, but sometimes just a smile—it goes a long way. I know that one day, when they’re ready for it, that seed I planted will he there, ready to grow.

3.（2024·福建漳州·统考二模）Fourteen-year-old Peter often gets helpful tips from his Big Brother, Paul, a 32-year-old computer programmer, is not Peter’s brother. Instead, he is his mentor through an education program called “Big Brothers Big Sisters”.
Paul and Peter have been Big Brother and Little Brother for 1 year. Previously, they met constantly. They would go to Starbucks, walk through different districts of the city or play games. When COVID-19 started spreading, the relationship had to go completely virtual to ensure their health and security. Now things get better and they meet more.
When school is frustrating (令人沮丧的), Peter texts Paul and gets motivated. When he doesn’t understand a math problem, he asks Paul for help. Paul even gave Peter advice on avoiding being distracted while having lessons online at home, where he lives with four brothers and they talk, play and fight all in one space.
Older than Peter, Paul has had more life experiences. He helps Peter see things positively from different points of view, but he never makes decisions for Peter. Peter said, “Paul makes such a far-reaching difference to my life, in my education outside school in particular.” Paul said Peter had an effect on him likewise, saying that his life was enriched. “If you want self-improvement, join in this program. Really, it’s in practice a job worth doing. I’d like to be a lifelong Big. Brother of Peter, and more kids.”
Asked how it started, Paul said when he returned from abroad seven years ago, he started looking for ways to help his community. Then he accidentally found the program.
The program makes the most appropriate matches. Kids from ages 6 to 18 can continue to get help until they turn 21. At present, Big Brothers Big Sisters has about 1 300 kids paired with mentors locally.

He helps Peter see things positively from different points of view, but he never makes decisions for Peter.(Paul比彼得年长，有更多的人生经历。他帮助Peter从不同的角度积极地看待问题，但他从不替Peter做决定。)”可知，划线词所在句子表示相反，Paul通过一个名为“Big Brothers Big Sisters”的教育项目成为Peter的导师。由此可知，mentor意为“导师”。故选A。
10．推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Paul even gave Peter advice on avoiding being distracted while having lessons online at home, where he lives with four brothers and they talk, play and fight all in one space.(Paul甚至给了Peter建议，让他不要在家里上网上课时分心。他和四个兄弟住在一起，他们在一个空间里聊天、玩耍和打架。)”可推知，Peter在家学习时最大的困扰是他难以集中注意力。故选A。

4.（2024·湖南岳阳·统考一模）How to release your art potential Traditionally. people may bury themselves in learning painting skills at a studio and begin from drawing lines. However, Maggie Wiebe, a 21-year-old girl from Stamps School of Art &Design at the University of Michigan, has her own method.
Wiebe and her school friend Jessie Rice are trying to do something that shows their love for art and also benefits the environment. For the past year or so, they have tended a garden at their campus farm, planting a variety of colorful flowers, as well as flax (亚麻) to make linen and paper to be used in art.
Inspired by a group of old ladies in Canada who plant sustainable art materials and post their videos on social platform YouTube, Wiebe learned about how to plant, harvest and separate fibers. She planted different fruits and vegetables traditionally used to dye (给……染色) fabrics. She then put their peels (外皮) into boiled water and added hot pressurized air to make a dye. For her, it’s a demanding but enjoyable process.
Wiebe and Rice plan to eventually buy some land in Detroit to grow these sustainable art materials—a dye, fiber and pigment garden— “a bigger version of what we’re already doing”, Wiebe told Minnesota News. “We’d set it up like an organization where artists can volunteer a few hours a week and then use all of the plants that we grow. ”
Wiebe also likes fiber-based art, such as quilting, weaving and sewing. She has applied those techniques to her recent works, displayed as part of the annual Senior Exhibition at her school. During her sophomore year, Wiebe joined the Michigan Daily as an illustrator, learning to conceptualize and complete complex illustrations on tight deadlines. Wiebe’s works received a lot of help from others. “Because the art school doesn’t have departments, we have studio coordinators who take care of each studio. “she said. “I see them every day, and they’ve helped me a lot. ”
13．What can we learn about Wiebe from the first two paragraphs
A．She realized her potential. B．She longed to be a gardener.
C．She was fond of growing plants. D．She had an environmentally friendly mind.
14．What did Wiebe learn from watching videos
A．To get fibers eventually. B．To peel fabrics skillfully
C．To grow plants traditionally. D．To dye fabrics individually.
15．Why is Detroit referred to in Paragraph 4
A．To review Wiebe’s future plan. B．To present Wiebe’s contribution.
C．To display Wiebe’s future prospect. D．To promote an application of Wiebe’s idea.

5.（2024上·山东淄博·高三统考期末）My first dependant was a duck called Mr. Kite. As a cream-faced four-year-old, it was my job at the nursery to turn the eggs in the incubator (恒温箱) every day: one side “O”, the other side “X”.
We lived in a small, inner-city house with a long, thin garden in east Oxford at the time. As a gentle-hearted vet's (兽医的) daughter, my mum couldn't resist adopting these ducks. I named them Buttercup, Mr. Kite and Drakey. We made them a pond.The bottom was a mosaic (马赛克) made from all the bits of plate and cup that had been broken during family rows. Within 30 seconds,the pond was so full of duck droppings that we never saw the mosaic again.
One of the most magical moments during my caring for ducks was the night it snowed. Mum, over whelmed by pity and grandmotherly concern, insisted that Mr. Kite and her friends — yes, Mr. Kite was female — be spared another freezing night in the wooden house my dad had built for them at the end of the garden; we caught them, flapping and shouting, and brought them in to sleep in the kitchen.Have you ever seen three ducks go wild in a tiny kitchen It was one of the best moments of my childhood. It smelled like the underside of hell's socks by the time they had left.
I used to spend my summers lazing in a swimming pool with Mr. Kite and the others. Eventually, though, our neighbour complained that they were being woken at 4:45 a.m.. So, the feathered three went to live with an old couple in the country. Fair enough — you don't move to the city to have the dawn torn apart by quacking — although it must have made a change from student parties and the sound of 19-year-olds being sick by the bins.
I wonder now if this early experience of duck adoption is the reason that, at least three times a week, what ever the weather, you will find me swimming in the Thames or a nearby lake with the ducks. Although they never say hello.
17．Why were there marks of “O” and “X” on eggs
A．To have fun. B．To count the eggs
C．To tell sides apart. D．To distinguish males from females.
18．What was the initial reason for duck adoption
A．Family preference.
B．A nursery assignment.
C．The mother's occupation.
D．Neighbour' support.
19．What does paragraph 3 imply
A．The ducks' smells drove the author mad.
B．The energetic ducks brought much pleasure.
C．The ducks were hard to feed in cold weather.
D．The ducks were offered luxury accommodation.
20．What was the author's response to the neighbor' complaints
A．Rejecting firmly. B．Ignoring deliberately.
C．Explaining patiently. D．Accepting unwillingly.
【答案】17．C 18．A 19．B 20．D

6.（2024上·山东枣庄·高三统考期末）My three grandchildren grew up, listening to someone read and learning to read.They discovered Jeanne Birdsall, Ben Hatke,Sara Penny packer and Rick Riordan. I read and loved—many of the books. Often, I was reminded of my running story.
I started running when my older daughter was in primary school. During those early days, she made her disrespect for running clear. Later she did run. She ran throughout high school and had been running ever since. We often ran together. At first, I slowed down for her. But very soon, her pace improved, and she was slowing down for me.
Now I compared this with my reading grandchildren. At first,adults-parents,grandparents and teachers-led the way. Then the kids learned to read, and soon they were mere specks in the distance, gulping down books we’d never heard of, referring to series we’d never come across.
Early on, I began preparing myself for the inevitable. The era of cozy reading sessions would end.Indeed, it ended,in the case of my granddaughter. She and her mother still read together, but mostly she read on her own. My grandsons also read like they breathed-in the car, at the table, while walking from the parking lot to the ball field and back again, eyes on their books.
I trailed behind them this summer as they collected a heaping pile of books from the library. They sustained them through ten days in the Yellowstone and Grand Teton national parks. The night before our flight home, each of them were read, some more than once.
Recently, I picked up a book once owned by a child who was now these boys’ uncle. I began reading aloud during a moment of wild enjoyment, and within minutes both boys were beside me on the couch, listening to narrator Ludlow Fitch describe a terrifying attack and his escape to the tiny village of Pagus Parvus.

22．What is the key to guiding children to read in the author’s view
A．Setting an attainable goal.
B．Being a model yourself.
C．Discovering their interests.
D．Providing suitable books.
23．What does the underlined part imply in Paragraph 3
A．They made their own choice.

24．What can we learn about the children from last two paragraphs

B．They all had curious minds.
C．They were keen on traveling.
D．They liked thrilling stories.
【答案】21．D 22．B 23．D 24．A
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者是如何在生活中引领孙子孙女们读书，并让他们爱上了读书。
21．推理判断题。根据第一段“I read and loved—many of the books. Often, I was reminded of my running story.(我阅读并喜爱其中的许多书。我经常想起我的跑步故事)”以及第三段“Now I compared this with my reading grandchildren. (现在我把它和我读书的孙子们做了比较)”可知，作者提到她跑步的故事是为了告诉读者们带女儿跑步的过程和带孙子们阅读的过程是很相似的。故选D。
22．推理判断题。根据第四段“Early on, I began preparing myself for the inevitable. The era of cozy reading sessions would end.Indeed, it ended,in the case of my granddaughter. She and her mother still read together, but mostly she read on her own. My grandsons also read like they breathed-in the car, at the table, while walking from the parking lot to the ball field and back again, eyes on their books.(早些时候，我开始为不可避免的事情做准备。舒适的读书会时代将结束。事实上，它结束了，就我的孙女而言。她和母亲仍然一起读书，但大部分是她自己读书。我的孙子们从停车场走到球场，再走回来，眼睛盯着书，在车里、桌子旁看书时也像呼吸一样)”可知，在带孩子们阅读时，刚开始作者会做些准备，但是当孩子们能够自己读书并有自己的模式时，作者觉得就可以放手了。由此可推知，作者认为引导孩子阅读的关键是有他们自己的读书模式。故选B。
23．词句猜测题。根据第三段“At first,adults-parents,grandparents and teachers-led the way. (起初，成年人的父母、祖父母和老师带头)”以及划线所在句子的前半句话“Then the kids learned to read(然后孩子们学会了阅读)”可知，孩子们在阅读刚起步是需要成年人引领的。然后他们学会了怎样去阅读，不久之后就会做得更好。所以换线的句子意为“他们做得好多了”。故选D。
24．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“The night before our flight home, each of them were read, some more than once.(在我们乘飞机回家的前一天晚上，我们阅读了每一本书，有些不止一次)”以及最后一段“I began reading aloud during a moment of wild enjoyment, and within minutes both boys were beside me on the couch, listening to narrator Ludlow Fitch describe a terrifying attack and his escape to the tiny village of Pagus Parvus.(我在一段疯狂的享受中开始大声朗读，几分钟后，两个男孩都坐在我旁边的沙发上，听叙述者勒德洛·费奇描述一次可怕的袭击和他逃到帕古斯·帕尔武斯小村庄的情景)”可知，只要作者和孩子们有读书的机会，他们就会去读书，由此可推知，他们都很喜欢书。故选A。
7.（2024·湖南邵阳·统考一模）Ever wonder what happens to spacecraft after they get launched to space Well, that is where my job as an instrument operation engineer comes in. My job consists of planning, generating, and operating scientific instruments in-flight. I am grateful for having worked on missions at Saturn, the Moon, and our own planet Earth.
When I was a high-schooler, I was unsure of what college I wanted to attend, or what major I wanted to choose. After receiving an email from a college called Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), I decided to apply to a summer program they were offering with the encouragement of my mom. After participating in that program, I knew that MIT was the right university for me. The passionate students and boundless opportunities developed a feeling of belonging in me that led me to apply and eventually get accepted.
The most exciting and fulfilling part of being an engineer is that I am able to work on projects that benefit humanity. When people think of the space industry, they picture the outer reaches of our solar system. What they may not imagine is the great body of work being done to study our own home—Earth. I am thankful to have a career that allows me to commit myself to that responsibility.
The high light of my career has been witnessing the end of the Cassini mission to Saturn. And when the Cassini spacecraft had run out of fuel, I quickly learned that it was not just the end of the mission, but the end of a team. The night we watched with bittersweet longing as its signal faded to nothing is something that I will always keep in my memories. And while Cassini will be remembered for its historic contributions, what I will remember it for is the team it brought together.
My friends often ask why a girl could achieve all these. I always grew up a big fan of fiction. I realized that a common theme of hero stories is that the hero must always make a choice to start their adventure. If you don’t pick up the sword in your own story because you are afraid of what may happen next, you risk not having a story at all.
25．Why did the author apply to MIT
A．She set this goal as a high-schooler. B．A summer program made her love MIT.
C．The majors in MIT interested her. D．Her mother urged her to go to MIT.

8.（2024上·河北衡水·高三校联考期末）Growing up in Louisiana, across the Mississippi River from New Orleans, Barry Guillot loved exploring the wetlands with his friends when he was a child. However, as he grew older, a growing concern about the disappearance of wetlands took root. “Imagine if the New Orleans Saints, our football team, were playing on a field that was actually wetlands,” Barry says. “By halftime, that football field would be gone.”
In 1988, Barry became a middle school science teacher. With the intention of bringing home to his kids the importance of wetlands, he founded the LaBranche Wetland Watchers Service-Learning Project, “adopting” a small part of LaBranche Wetlands near their school.
Wetland Watchers activities are tied to academic subjects. Water-quality monitoring, for example, teaches students to use graphs to compare data from different time periods — part of the math curriculum. After Hurricane Katrina, the salinity (amount of salt in the water) was four times as high as before. Students made graphs to show that. As part of English composition, they wrote about seeing jellyfish (水母) , which had never come that far before because jellyfish live only in salty water.
“We obtained more than we would just sitting behind a desk with a book, because you’re out there and you’re getting all wet and muddy and having fun as you learn,” says Kurt, a seventh grader.
Barry is very proud of his students. “It’s amazing what middle school kids can accomplish when they get the chance,” he says. One of his seventh graders wrote, “If the animals and plants could talk, I think they would say we’re their heroes. That’s the way I feel when we do our work in the wetlands.”
29．Why is “football field” mentioned in the first paragraph
A．To explain wetlands are limited. B．To express Barry’s love of football.
C．To stress the urgency of saving wetlands. D．To show Barry’s worry about his football team.
30．What is Paragraph 3 mainly about
A．The necessity of making graphs. B．The importance of hands-on learning.
C．The connection of the activities to schooling. D．Relationship between teachers and students.
31．How does Kurt feel about the activities
A．They are messy. B．They are challenging.
C．They are dull. D．They are rewarding.
32．What can be inferred about Barry’s students
A．They will teach like Barry. B．They will ask for more chances.
C．They’re full of a sense of achievement. D．They’re acknowledged as great heroes.
【答案】29．C 30．C 31．D 32．C
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了在湿地边长大的Barry Guillot对湿地消失的担忧越来越强烈，成了一名中学科学教师后，他创立了LaBranche湿地观察者服务学习项目，这个活动与学科知识相结合，让孩子们认识到湿地的重要性的同时也享受到学习的乐趣与成就感。
29．推理判断题。根据第一段中“However, as he grew older, a growing concern about the disappearance of wetlands took root. “Imagine if the New Orleans Saints, our football team, were playing on a field that was actually wetlands,” Barry says. “By halftime, that football field would be gone.”(然而，随着年龄的增长，他对湿地消失的担忧越来越强烈。“想象一下，如果我们的足球队新奥尔良圣徒队在一块实际上是湿地的场地上比赛。” Barry说：“到中场休息时，那个足球场就会消失。”)”可知，随着年龄的增长，Barry Guillot对湿地消失的担忧越来越强烈，他用湿地球场上进行的比赛到中场时球场消失这一想象的场景来说明湿地消失的很快以及对湿地消失的担忧，由此可知，提到“football field”是为了强调拯救湿地的紧迫性。故选C。
30．主旨大意题。第三段“Wetland Watchers activities are tied to academic subjects. Water-quality monitoring, for example, teaches students to use graphs to compare data from different time periods —part of the math curriculum. After Hurricane Katrina, the salinity (amount of salt in the water) was four times as high as before. Students made graphs to show that. As part of English composition, they wrote about seeing jellyfish (水母) , which had never come that far before because jellyfish live only in salty water.(湿地观察者的活动与学术科目有关。例如，水质监测教学生使用图表来比较不同时期的数据——这是数学课程的一部分。卡特里娜飓风过后，海水的含盐量是之前的四倍。学生们用图表来说明这一点。作为英语作文的一部分，他们写了关于看到水母的故事，因为水母只生活在咸水里，所以水母从来没有飞那么远。)”通过举例来说明实地观察者活动与学习科目紧密相关，学生使用图表来比较不同时期的数据是数学课程的一部分，在英文作文中学生描写看到水母；由此可知，第三段主要阐述了湿地观察者活动与学校教育的联系。故选C。
31．推理判断题。根据第四段““We obtained more than we would just sitting behind a desk with a book, because you’re out there and you’re getting all wet and muddy and having fun as you learn,” says Kurt, a seventh grader.(七年级学生Kurt说：“我们学到的东西比坐在书桌后面看书要多，因为你在那里，你全身湿透，浑身泥泞，在学习的过程中享受乐趣。”)”可知，Kurt认为在这个活动非常有益，他们从中学到了比书本上更多的知识，而且在这个学习过程中享受到了乐趣。故选D。

That’s the way I feel when we do our work in the wetlands.”(他的一个七年级学生写道：“如果动物和植物会说话，我想它们会说我们是它们的英雄。这就是我在湿地工作时的感受。”)”可知，Barry的学生为保护湿地努力，他们认为自己是动物和植物英雄；由此可知，学生们对于自己参与的活动充满成就感。故选C。
9.（2024上·河北保定·高三统考期末）This month I finally lived my dream: I visited behind the scenes at Disneyland, “the happiest place on Earth.” Watching thousands of smiling employees rushing, around the park, completely absorbed in their work, I suddenly understood the magic behind the park and why joy had escaped me for so long.
When I was younger, I tried to pursue happiness directly by creating as many happy moments as I could. However, no matter how many happy moments I had, they could not protect me from sadness. The sadness would unexpectedly arise when it shouldn’t when I was with friends or family, when I had achieved success, and when I tried to create art. It was the persistence (持续) of this sadness that finally made me realize the truth: the Happy/Sad model was wrong.
I updated my mental model to the Pleasure/Pain model. I saw that what I had called happiness was simply emotional pleasure, which was anything that confirmed the way I saw myself and the world. As I removed emotionally and physically painful moments from my life, I established a mental image of myself as a “happy person.” However, I was stuck in a one-dimensional emotional world.
Wandering down the 19th street and waving to the 100th friendly costumed character, I finally found the words that completed my third model — Joy/Fear, one that gives real depth to life. Disneyland, with its immersive (沉浸式的) world and perfect performances, goes beyond creating happiness and lessening pain. It is carefully getting rid of fear. It removes the possibility of anything going wrong, of disappointing us. And behind the scenes, Disneyland works tirelessly to ensure that everything always run the way it should.
Life is not Disneyland, however. Try as we might, we can’t control the world around us or completely erase our fearful moments. But we can control how we approach life and how we understand our fears. And in the absence of that fear, joy arises.
33．What gives the author a deep insight into happiness at Disneyland
A．The beautiful scenes of Disneyland.
B．The relaxing working environment.
C．The smiling and committed staff.
D．The magical life principle.
34．The author was unhappy when younger because he/she __________.
A．had no close friends
B．didn’t get along well with family
C．achieved no success in the art creation
D．misunderstood the true meaning of happiness
35．What does the author think of his/her second mental model
A．It is entirely subjective.
B．It gives real depth to life.
C．It focuses on temporary joy.
D．It highlights the external state.
36．What message does the author seem to convey in the text
A．Disneyland is a magical and joyful place.
B．Emotional pleasure is the key to happiness.
C．Fear is inevitable for all of us in the whole life.
D．Approaching life with devotion brings genuine joy.
【答案】33．C 34．D 35．A 36．D
【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章讲述了作者参观了迪士尼乐园的幕后，这让作者意识到只有用全身心的投入来对待生活，会带来真正的快乐。
33．细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Watching thousands of smiling employees rushing, around the park, completely absorbed in their work, I suddenly understood the magic behind the park and why joy had escaped me for so long.(看着成千上万面带微笑的员工在公园里跑来跑去，完全沉浸在他们的工作中，我突然明白了公园背后的魔力，也明白了为什么我这么长时间都没有快乐)”可知，笑容满面、兢兢业业的工作人员让作者对迪士尼乐园的快乐有了深刻的了解。故选C。
34．细节理解题。根据第二段中的“When I was younger, I tried to pursue happiness directly by creating as many happy moments as I could. However, no matter how many happy moments I had, they could not protect me from sadness.(当我年轻的时候，我试图通过创造尽可能多的快乐时刻来直接追求幸福。然而，无论我有多少快乐的时刻，它们都不能保护我免受悲伤)”及“It was the persistence (持续) of this sadness that finally made me realize the truth: the Happy/Sad model was wrong.(正是这种悲伤的持续，最终让我意识到真相：快乐/悲伤的模式是错误的)”可知，作者年轻时之所以不快乐，是因为他误解了幸福的真谛。故选D。
35．推理判断题。根据第三段“I updated my mental model to the Pleasure/Pain model. I saw that what I had called happiness was simply emotional pleasure, which was anything that confirmed the way I saw myself and the world. As I removed emotionally and physically painful moments from my life, I established a mental image of myself as a “happy person.” However, I was stuck in a one-dimensional emotional world.(我把我的心智模型更新为快乐/痛苦模型。我发现，我所谓的幸福不过是情感上的愉悦，是任何能证实我对自己和世界的看法的东西。当我从生活中去除情感上和身体上的痛苦时，我在心理上把自己塑造成一个“快乐的人”。然而，我被困在一个单一的情感世界里)”可推知，作者认为他/她的第二种思维模式完全是主观的。故选A。
36．推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Try as we might, we can’t control the world around us or completely erase our fearful moments. But we can control how we approach life and how we understand our fears. And in the absence of that fear, joy arises.(尽管我们很努力，但我们无法控制我们周围的世界，也无法完全消除我们的恐惧时刻。但我们可以控制我们如何对待生活，如何理解我们的恐惧。在没有恐惧的情况下，快乐就会升起)”可知，作者似乎在文章中传达了这样一种观点：用全身心的投入来对待生活，会带来真正的快乐。故选D。
10.（2024·湖南永州·统考二模）At 98, Dick Van Dyke still sings with his group, The Vantastix, and still makes it all look easy. When asked how important it is that he’s having fun when he’s doing it, Van Dyke replied, “My whole career has relied on that. It’s such a blessing to find a way of making a living that you love. I feel so sorry for people who hate their job. I look forward to going to work every morning!”
And some of his work helped define a generation. Take “The Dick Van Dyke Show”; it ran for five years on CBS, and it was such a hit that they’re bringing it back. This week, CBS aired a two-hour tribute (致敬), “Dick Van Dyke, 98 Years of Magic”, and for the occasion, they recreated the original Dick Van Dyke Show” set, down to that well-known sofa.
Early in his career Van Dyke was quoted as saying he only wanted to make films his children could watch. That got the attention of Walt Disney, who promptly cast him in “Mary Poppins”. And his next few films were equally family-friendly, like “Chitty Chitty Bang Bang,” which happened to have been co-written by James Bond creator Ian Fleming. From then on, Van Dyke was almost always assigned to play the good guy, though he claims to have missed out on a choice part: “Yeah, I could have been James Bond. When Sean Connery left, the producer said, ‘Would you like to be the next Bond ’ I said, ‘Have you heard my British accent ’ That’s a true story!”
It seems that in show biz the true legends never stop. In an interview from 2017 with his friends, Van Dyke described what it was like hitting 90: “People are more afraid of aging than they are of death these days. And I want to say that remain young in heart and there’s a lot of good living to do.”
37．What can we infer from Dyke’s reply in Paragraph 1
A．He enjoys his job. B．He hates morning work.
C．He sees his job as a burden. D．He prefers leisure to work.
38．What did CBS do for Dyke
A．They created a new set for his show.
B．They bought a famous sofa for him.
C．They made a special program for him.
D．They invited young generation to watch his show.
39．Which statement is true about Dyke’s career
A．His films are rarely family-friendly.
B．His films are only made for his children.
C．Van Dyke was always playing the good guy.
D．Van Dyke had the chance to play James Bond.
40．What can be a suitable title for the text
A．Forever Young. B．Work Comes First.
C．Always Have Fun. D．Legends Are Timeless.

1. （2024·广东·模拟预测）When I was a child, my grandmother often said people and communication mattered. She backed that up with her own behavior. When she walked down the street, she would speak to everyone. It didn’t matter if you were an elderly person or a child, or if you spoke English or Spanish. She just smiled and talked to everyone.
However, as she aged, she noticed that her approach was becoming rare.She talked about how, in the age of technology, most people don’t think they have time for longer communications than text messages. In fact, people barely speak to one another nowadays. As much as I hated to admit it, I had noticed it too.
My grandmother’s wisdom inspired me to have a pen pal. It all started in 2013. I went to the University of Southern California to meet with Kerstin Zilm, who wanted to interview me about being a student struggling financially (经济上地). I didn’t know much about German culture or the German audience who would listen to the show, but I agreed to do so because I remembered my grandmother’s wisdom. I felt that speaking about my story was better than keeping it to myself. You never knew who could learn from your life experiences.
Soon after knowing my story from the show, a woman named Renate reached out to me, asking how she could help me financially with college. I was grateful that Renate wanted to help, but my pride didn’t allow me to accept money. Thinking of my grandmother’s wisdom, I didn’t let the communication stop. I emailed Renate back, thanking her for her kindness sincerely.
From then on, Renate and I often emailed each other. She even sent me gifts and cakes on my birthday. And whenever I was in trouble, she was always there. She sent me virtual (虚拟的) hugs at the moments when I needed them most. Though I have never met her in person, she is one of the most important people in my life. And I promise I will turn all the virtual hugs into real ones one day.

2.（2024·广东茂名·统考一模）In the 7th grade, I was a naughty boy. Ms. Dinos pulled me aside for a fateful chat. What she had to say was simple—I was a follower with the potential of a leader, and what I needed was some new friends and some time to grow up. She suggested to my mother that I repeat the 7th grade. After a pout (噘嘴), a plea and a prayer, I made a deal, “give me the summer and I’ll show you!”
That summer, I made it my business to do just that. By the following school year, I was awarded a medal that valued my efforts. Two of those three friends she warned me of eventually became alcoholics—one an ex-con (前科犯), the other a woman-beater. Ms. Dinos saved my life.
Twenty years later, Ms. Dinos and I were reunited on the internet. However, she didn’t remember the event at all. Right then it hit me. That event that meant so much to me was just a singular moment in her well-lived life. And I learnt that Ms. Dinos had since become a famous garden designer, for she had a gift for planting seeds.
It was only months after reuniting with Ms. Dinos that an old student of my own popped up online. She informed me of the moment that I inspired her. According to her, I once shared a drawing of mine with the class. That student was so moved by the drawing that she wanted to learn to do the same. That picture ignited in her a passion that she later turned into a career. My own little seed was planted and now has grown.
Now understanding what I do about the power of planting seeds, I take every opportunity: share what I can with as many young people as possible. I offer bits of wisdom or words of encouragement, but sometimes just a smile—it goes a long way. I know that one day, when they’re ready for it, that seed I planted will he there, ready to grow.

4.（2024·湖南岳阳·统考一模）How to release your art potential Traditionally. people may bury themselves in learning painting skills at a studio and begin from drawing lines. However, Maggie Wiebe, a 21-year-old girl from Stamps School of Art &Design at the University of Michigan, has her own method.
Wiebe and her school friend Jessie Rice are trying to do something that shows their love for art and also benefits the environment. For the past year or so, they have tended a garden at their campus farm, planting a variety of colorful flowers, as well as flax (亚麻) to make linen and paper to be used in art.
Inspired by a group of old ladies in Canada who plant sustainable art materials and post their videos on social platform YouTube, Wiebe learned about how to plant, harvest and separate fibers. She planted different fruits and vegetables traditionally used to dye (给……染色) fabrics. She then put their peels (外皮) into boiled water and added hot pressurized air to make a dye. For her, it’s a demanding but enjoyable process.
Wiebe and Rice plan to eventually buy some land in Detroit to grow these sustainable art materials—a dye, fiber and pigment garden— “a bigger version of what we’re already doing”, Wiebe told Minnesota News. “We’d set it up like an organization where artists can volunteer a few hours a week and then use all of the plants that we grow. ”
Wiebe also likes fiber-based art, such as quilting, weaving and sewing. She has applied those techniques to her recent works, displayed as part of the annual Senior Exhibition at her school. During her sophomore year, Wiebe joined the Michigan Daily as an illustrator, learning to conceptualize and complete complex illustrations on tight deadlines. Wiebe’s works received a lot of help from others. “Because the art school doesn’t have departments, we have studio coordinators who take care of each studio. “she said. “I see them every day, and they’ve helped me a lot. ”
13．What can we learn about Wiebe from the first two paragraphs
A．She realized her potential. B．She longed to be a gardener.
C．She was fond of growing plants. D．She had an environmentally friendly mind.
14．What did Wiebe learn from watching videos
A．To get fibers eventually. B．To peel fabrics skillfully
C．To grow plants traditionally. D．To dye fabrics individually.
15．Why is Detroit referred to in Paragraph 4
A．To review Wiebe’s future plan. B．To present Wiebe’s contribution.
C．To display Wiebe’s future prospect. D．To promote an application of Wiebe’s idea.
16．Which of the following best describes Wiebe’s work
A．Practice makes perfect. B．Creativity is productivity.
C．Unity is strength. D．Curiosity is motivation.
5.（2024上·山东淄博·高三统考期末）My first dependant was a duck called Mr. Kite. As a cream-faced four-year-old, it was my job at the nursery to turn the eggs in the incubator (恒温箱) every day: one side “O”, the other side “X”.
We lived in a small, inner-city house with a long, thin garden in east Oxford at the time. As a gentle-hearted vet's (兽医的) daughter, my mum couldn't resist adopting these ducks. I named them Buttercup, Mr. Kite and Drakey. We made them a pond.The bottom was a mosaic (马赛克) made from all the bits of plate and cup that had been broken during family rows. Within 30 seconds,the pond was so full of duck droppings that we never saw the mosaic again.
One of the most magical moments during my caring for ducks was the night it snowed. Mum, over whelmed by pity and grandmotherly concern, insisted that Mr. Kite and her friends — yes, Mr. Kite was female — be spared another freezing night in the wooden house my dad had built for them at the end of the garden; we caught them, flapping and shouting, and brought them in to sleep in the kitchen.Have you ever seen three ducks go wild in a tiny kitchen It was one of the best moments of my childhood. It smelled like the underside of hell's socks by the time they had left.
I used to spend my summers lazing in a swimming pool with Mr. Kite and the others. Eventually, though, our neighbour complained that they were being woken at 4:45 a.m.. So, the feathered three went to live with an old couple in the country. Fair enough — you don't move to the city to have the dawn torn apart by quacking — although it must have made a change from student parties and the sound of 19-year-olds being sick by the bins.
I wonder now if this early experience of duck adoption is the reason that, at least three times a week, what ever the weather, you will find me swimming in the Thames or a nearby lake with the ducks. Although they never say hello.

6.（2024上·山东枣庄·高三统考期末）My three grandchildren grew up, listening to someone read and learning to read.They discovered Jeanne Birdsall, Ben Hatke,Sara Penny packer and Rick Riordan. I read and loved—many of the books. Often, I was reminded of my running story.
I started running when my older daughter was in primary school. During those early days, she made her disrespect for running clear. Later she did run. She ran throughout high school and had been running ever since. We often ran together. At first, I slowed down for her. But very soon, her pace improved, and she was slowing down for me.
Now I compared this with my reading grandchildren. At first,adults-parents,grandparents and teachers-led the way. Then the kids learned to read, and soon they were mere specks in the distance, gulping down books we’d never heard of, referring to series we’d never come across.
Early on, I began preparing myself for the inevitable. The era of cozy reading sessions would end.Indeed, it ended,in the case of my granddaughter. She and her mother still read together, but mostly she read on her own. My grandsons also read like they breathed-in the car, at the table, while walking from the parking lot to the ball field and back again, eyes on their books.
I trailed behind them this summer as they collected a heaping pile of books from the library. They sustained them through ten days in the Yellowstone and Grand Teton national parks. The night before our flight home, each of them were read, some more than once.
Recently, I picked up a book once owned by a child who was now these boys’ uncle. I began reading aloud during a moment of wild enjoyment, and within minutes both boys were beside me on the couch, listening to narrator Ludlow Fitch describe a terrifying attack and his escape to the tiny village of Pagus Parvus.

7.（2024·湖南邵阳·统考一模）Ever wonder what happens to spacecraft after they get launched to space Well, that is where my job as an instrument operation engineer comes in. My job consists of planning, generating, and operating scientific instruments in-flight. I am grateful for having worked on missions at Saturn, the Moon, and our own planet Earth.
When I was a high-schooler, I was unsure of what college I wanted to attend, or what major I wanted to choose. After receiving an email from a college called Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), I decided to apply to a summer program they were offering with the encouragement of my mom. After participating in that program, I knew that MIT was the right university for me. The passionate students and boundless opportunities developed a feeling of belonging in me that led me to apply and eventually get accepted.
The most exciting and fulfilling part of being an engineer is that I am able to work on projects that benefit humanity. When people think of the space industry, they picture the outer reaches of our solar system. What they may not imagine is the great body of work being done to study our own home—Earth. I am thankful to have a career that allows me to commit myself to that responsibility.
The high light of my career has been witnessing the end of the Cassini mission to Saturn. And when the Cassini spacecraft had run out of fuel, I quickly learned that it was not just the end of the mission, but the end of a team. The night we watched with bittersweet longing as its signal faded to nothing is something that I will always keep in my memories. And while Cassini will be remembered for its historic contributions, what I will remember it for is the team it brought together.
My friends often ask why a girl could achieve all these. I always grew up a big fan of fiction. I realized that a common theme of hero stories is that the hero must always make a choice to start their adventure. If you don’t pick up the sword in your own story because you are afraid of what may happen next, you risk not having a story at all.
25．Why did the author apply to MIT
A．She set this goal as a high-schooler. B．A summer program made her love MIT.
C．The majors in MIT interested her. D．Her mother urged her to go to MIT.
26．What does the author think of her occupation
A．She is proud to work for human well-being. B．It’s hard for a girl to have such a career.
C．She is annoyed by being misunderstood. D．It’s easy to predict what she does.
27．What does the author treasure most in the Cassini mission
A．Breathtaking images of the planet. B．The opportunity to operate the cameras.
C．Its historic contributions. D．The team it brought together.
28．What can we include from the story
A．Practice makes perfect. B．Well begun is half done.
C．No way is impossible to courage. D．Time lost cannot be won again.
8.（2024上·河北衡水·高三校联考期末）Growing up in Louisiana, across the Mississippi River from New Orleans, Barry Guillot loved exploring the wetlands with his friends when he was a child. However, as he grew older, a growing concern about the disappearance of wetlands took root. “Imagine if the New Orleans Saints, our football team, were playing on a field that was actually wetlands,” Barry says. “By halftime, that football field would be gone.”
In 1988, Barry became a middle school science teacher. With the intention of bringing home to his kids the importance of wetlands, he founded the LaBranche Wetland Watchers Service-Learning Project, “adopting” a small part of LaBranche Wetlands near their school.
Wetland Watchers activities are tied to academic subjects. Water-quality monitoring, for example, teaches students to use graphs to compare data from different time periods — part of the math curriculum. After Hurricane Katrina, the salinity (amount of salt in the water) was four times as high as before. Students made graphs to show that. As part of English composition, they wrote about seeing jellyfish (水母) , which had never come that far before because jellyfish live only in salty water.
“We obtained more than we would just sitting behind a desk with a book, because you’re out there and you’re getting all wet and muddy and having fun as you learn,” says Kurt, a seventh grader.
Barry is very proud of his students. “It’s amazing what middle school kids can accomplish when they get the chance,” he says. One of his seventh graders wrote, “If the animals and plants could talk, I think they would say we’re their heroes. That’s the way I feel when we do our work in the wetlands.”
29．Why is “football field” mentioned in the first paragraph
A．To explain wetlands are limited. B．To express Barry’s love of football.
C．To stress the urgency of saving wetlands. D．To show Barry’s worry about his football team.
30．What is Paragraph 3 mainly about
A．The necessity of making graphs. B．The importance of hands-on learning.
C．The connection of the activities to schooling. D．Relationship between teachers and students.
31．How does Kurt feel about the activities
A．They are messy. B．They are challenging.
C．They are dull. D．They are rewarding.
32．What can be inferred about Barry’s students
A．They will teach like Barry. B．They will ask for more chances.
C．They’re full of a sense of achievement. D．They’re acknowledged as great heroes.
9.（2024上·河北保定·高三统考期末）This month I finally lived my dream: I visited behind the scenes at Disneyland, “the happiest place on Earth.” Watching thousands of smiling employees rushing, around the park, completely absorbed in their work, I suddenly understood the magic behind the park and why joy had escaped me for so long.
When I was younger, I tried to pursue happiness directly by creating as many happy moments as I could. However, no matter how many happy moments I had, they could not protect me from sadness. The sadness would unexpectedly arise when it shouldn’t when I was with friends or family, when I had achieved success, and when I tried to create art. It was the persistence (持续) of this sadness that finally made me realize the truth: the Happy/Sad model was wrong.
I updated my mental model to the Pleasure/Pain model. I saw that what I had called happiness was simply emotional pleasure, which was anything that confirmed the way I saw myself and the world. As I removed emotionally and physically painful moments from my life, I established a mental image of myself as a “happy person.” However, I was stuck in a one-dimensional emotional world.
Wandering down the 19th street and waving to the 100th friendly costumed character, I finally found the words that completed my third model — Joy/Fear, one that gives real depth to life. Disneyland, with its immersive (沉浸式的) world and perfect performances, goes beyond creating happiness and lessening pain. It is carefully getting rid of fear. It removes the possibility of anything going wrong, of disappointing us. And behind the scenes, Disneyland works tirelessly to ensure that everything always run the way it should.
Life is not Disneyland, however. Try as we might, we can’t control the world around us or completely erase our fearful moments. But we can control how we approach life and how we understand our fears. And in the absence of that fear, joy arises.
33．What gives the author a deep insight into happiness at Disneyland
A．The beautiful scenes of Disneyland.
B．The relaxing working environment.
C．The smiling and committed staff.
D．The magical life principle.
34．The author was unhappy when younger because he/she __________.
A．had no close friends
B．didn’t get along well with family
C．achieved no success in the art creation
D．misunderstood the true meaning of happiness
35．What does the author think of his/her second mental model
A．It is entirely subjective.
B．It gives real depth to life.
C．It focuses on temporary joy.
D．It highlights the external state.
36．What message does the author seem to convey in the text
A．Disneyland is a magical and joyful place.
B．Emotional pleasure is the key to happiness.
C．Fear is inevitable for all of us in the whole life.
D．Approaching life with devotion brings genuine joy.
10.（2024·湖南永州·统考二模）At 98, Dick Van Dyke still sings with his group, The Vantastix, and still makes it all look easy. When asked how important it is that he’s having fun when he’s doing it, Van Dyke replied, “My whole career has relied on that. It’s such a blessing to find a way of making a living that you love. I feel so sorry for people who hate their job. I look forward to going to work every morning!”
And some of his work helped define a generation. Take “The Dick Van Dyke Show”; it ran for five years on CBS, and it was such a hit that they’re bringing it back. This week, CBS aired a two-hour tribute (致敬), “Dick Van Dyke, 98 Years of Magic”, and for the occasion, they recreated the original Dick Van Dyke Show” set, down to that well-known sofa.
Early in his career Van Dyke was quoted as saying he only wanted to make films his children could watch. That got the attention of Walt Disney, who promptly cast him in “Mary Poppins”. And his next few films were equally family-friendly, like “Chitty Chitty Bang Bang,” which happened to have been co-written by James Bond creator Ian Fleming. From then on, Van Dyke was almost always assigned to play the good guy, though he claims to have missed out on a choice part: “Yeah, I could have been James Bond. When Sean Connery left, the producer said, ‘Would you like to be the next Bond ’ I said, ‘Have you heard my British accent ’ That’s a true story!”
It seems that in show biz the true legends never stop. In an interview from 2017 with his friends, Van Dyke described what it was like hitting 90: “People are more afraid of aging than they are of death these days. And I want to say that remain young in heart and there’s a lot of good living to do.”
37．What can we infer from Dyke’s reply in Paragraph 1
A．He enjoys his job. B．He hates morning work.
C．He sees his job as a burden. D．He prefers leisure to work.
38．What did CBS do for Dyke
A．They created a new set for his show.
B．They bought a famous sofa for him.
C．They made a special program for him.
D．They invited young generation to watch his show.
39．Which statement is true about Dyke’s career
A．His films are rarely family-friendly.
B．His films are only made for his children.
C．Van Dyke was always playing the good guy.
D．Van Dyke had the chance to play James Bond.
40．What can be a suitable title for the text
A．Forever Young. B．Work Comes First.
C．Always Have Fun. D．Legends Are Timeless.
