think I can pay my bank more to help me.

（2023·江苏镇江·江苏省镇江中学校考三模）Jose Alberto Gutierrez's life would never be the same again
after finding a copy of Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy in the garbage 20 years ago. It happened while he was
driving his garbage truck through wealthier neighborhoods at night and seeing deserted books. It sparked his desire
to start rescuing books from the garbage. He took home between 50 and 60 books every morning after his nine-hour
shift. Eventually, he turned his book collection into a community library.
Colombia’s capital city of Bogota has 13 million residents and 19 public libraries. However, these libraries
tend to be far away from where rural and poorer communities live. The option of buying new books is non-existentfor families struggling to make ends meet. Having access to a library of books and being taken away to another
world while immersed in a book is a luxury for the kids who visit Gutierrez's library.
Gutierrez grew up poor, and his family could not afford to educate him beyond primary school. Nevertheless,
his mother was a keen reader and read stories to him every night. Her love for books left a deep impression on
Gutierrez, who never let a lack of formal education stop him from reading classics by the likes of Victor Hugo,
Mario Vargas Llosa and Gabriel Garcia Marquez.
Today, his community library, called “The Strength of Words“, occupies most of his home and is piled from
floor to ceiling with fiction and non-fiction titles. Everything from school textbooks to story books can be found in
his collection of more than 20,000 books!
The Strength of Words library opens every weekend. It is not just school-going children who are enjoying the
benefits of The Strength of Words library. Adults are also welcome to expand their horizons and develop new skills
to build a better life for themselves.
Despite having done so much for his community, Gutierrez is not yet content to call it a day. He continues to
search through bins for reading material and has even travelled to book fairs in Mexico and Chile to sell his idea of
building library from unwanted books.
24．What inspired Gutierrez to build the community library?
A．The dilemma he faced on the night shift.
B．The hobby he has started since childhood.
C．Famous novelists he liked very much.
D．Abandoned books he came across at work.
25．What can we learn about Gutierrez's mother?
A．She was born into a poor family.
B．She bought Gutierrez many books.
C．She influenced Gutierrez greatly.
D．She enjoyed reading Hugo’s works.
26．What does the underlined phrase “call it a day” in the last paragraph mean?
A．Take the time. B．Stop the work.
C．Make a change. D．Receive a reward.
27．What does Gutierrez's story tell us?
A．A book holds a house of gold.
B．Constant dropping wears the stone.C．Good things come to those who wait.
D．One man’s trash is another man’s treasure.
【答案】24．D 25．C 26．B 27．D
【导语】本文为记叙文。文章讲述了哥伦比亚环卫工人古铁雷斯将富人区被丢弃的书籍带回家，把自己的
家变成了一个面向社区开放的图书馆，为低收入家庭的孩子提供阅读的机会的故事。
【详解】1.细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Jose Alberto Gutierrez's life would never be the same again after
finding a copy of Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy in the garbage 20 years ago. It happened while he was driving his
garbage truck through wealthier neighborhoods at night and seeing deserted books. It sparked his desire to start
rescuing books from the garbage. He took home between 50 and 60 books every morning after his nine-hour shift.
Eventually, he turned his book collection into a community library. (20年前，何塞·阿尔贝托·古铁雷斯在垃圾堆
里发现了一本列夫·托尔斯泰的《安娜·卡列尼娜》，从此他的生活再也不一样了。这件事发生在他晚上开
着垃圾车经过富裕社区时，看到了被遗弃的书。这激发了他开始从垃圾中拯救书籍的愿望。在9小时的轮
班后，他每天早上带回家50到60本书。最后，他把自己的藏书变成了一个社区图书馆。)”可知，环卫工
人古铁雷斯20年前开着垃圾车经过富人区时，在垃圾堆中发现了被丢弃的书，其中有一本是托尔斯泰的
《安娜·卡列尼娜》，从此以后他每天都带一些被丢弃的书回家，最后把自己的家变成了一个面向社区开放
的图书馆。因此可知，他在工作中偶然发现的废弃书籍鼓舞他建立了这个社区图书馆。故选D。
2.推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Nevertheless, his mother was a keen reader and read stories to him every night.
Her love for books left a deep impression on Gutierrez. (然而，他的母亲是一个热心的读者，每天晚上读故事
给他听。她对书的热爱给古铁雷斯留下了深刻的印象)”可知，古铁雷斯的母亲酷爱读书，每晚都会给他讲
故事。母亲对书籍的喜爱给古铁雷斯留下了深刻的印象，极大地影响了他，让他也爱上了阅读。故选C。
3.词义猜测题。根据后文“He continues to search through bins for reading material and has even travelled to
book fairs in Mexico and Chile to sell his idea of building library from unwanted books. (他继续在垃圾箱里寻找
阅读材料，甚至前往墨西哥和智利的书展，推销他用废弃书籍建造图书馆的想法。)”可知，古铁雷斯继续
搜罗更多的书，甚至还去到墨西哥和智利的书展兜售自己的想法，可见他并没有就此停止他的公益行为。
因此推断call it a day意思是“到此为止；停止”。故选B。
4. 推理判断题。根据第一段的“Eventually, he turned his book collection into a community library.(最后，他把
自己的藏书变成了一个社区图书馆。)”以及全文内容可知，因为古铁雷斯的善举，使得原本被丢弃的书籍
再次发挥它们的作用，成为了家庭贫困的孩子的宝贵财富。四个选项中谚语的意思分别是：A.书中自有黄
金屋；B.滴水穿石；C.好事多磨；D.变废为宝。可见D选项最契合文章主题。故选D。
C（2023·湖北·沙市中学校考模拟预测）Scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (麻省理工学
院) have turned spider webs into music——creating an strange soundtrack that could help them better understand
how the spiders output their complex creations and even how they communicate.
The MIT team worked with Berlin-based artist Tomas Saraceno to take 2D (two- dimensional) laser (激光)
scans of a spider web, which were linked together and made into a mathematical model that could recreate the web
in 3D in VR (virtual reality). They also worked with MIT’s music department to create the virtual instrument.
“Even though the web looks really random (随机)，there actually are a lot of inside structures and you can
visualize (可视化) them and you can look at them, but it’s really hard to grasp for the human imagination or human
brain to understand all these structural details,” said MIT engineering professor Markus Buehler, who presented the
work on Monday at a virtual meeting of the American Chemical Society.
Listening to the music while moving through the VR spider web lets you see and hear these structural changes
and gives a better idea of how spiders see the world, he told CNN. “Spiders use vibrations (振动) as a way to locate
themselves, to communicate with other spiders and so the idea of thinking really like a spider would experience the
world was something that was very important to us as spider material scientists,” Buehler said.
Spiders are able to build their webs without shelves or supports, so having a better idea of how they work
could lead to the development of advanced new 3D printing techniques. “The reason why I did that is I wanted to
be able to get information really from the spider world, which is very weird and mysterious,” Buehler explained. In
addition to the scientific value, Buehler said the webs are musically interesting and that you can hear the sounds the
spider creates during construction. “It’s unusual and eerie and scary, but finally beautiful.” he described.
28．What have MIT scientists done according to the passage?
A．They have translated spider webs into sounds.
B．They have made a mathematical model to produce webs.
C．They have created a soundtrack to catch spiders.
D．They have known how spiders communicate.
29．What can we know about spider webs from paragraph 3?
A．Their structures are beautiful and clear.
B．Professor Markus Buehler knows them well.
C．The American Chemical Society presents the result.
D．They are complex for people to figure it out.
30．In which field will the study be helpful?A．virtual reality B．printing
C．painting D．film-making
31．What is the main idea of the passage?
A．It tells us that the music created by spiders is scary.
B．It shows how the researchers carry out the experiment.
C．It presents a new and creative way to study spiders.
D．It explains why scientists did the experiment.
【答案】28．A 29．D 30．B 31．C
【分析】这是一篇说明文。介绍了麻省理工学院的科学家最近的研究成果，将蜘蛛网转换成音乐，可以更
好地了解蜘蛛是如何输出它们复杂的创造物，甚至它们是如何交流的。
28．细节理解题。根据第一段“Scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology(麻省理工学院)have
turned spider webs into music——creating an strange soundtrack that could help them better understand how the
spiders output their complex creations and even how they communicate. (美国麻省理工学院的科学家们已经把
蜘蛛网变成了音乐——创造出一种奇怪的音乐，可以帮助他们更好地了解蜘蛛是如何输出它们复杂的创造
物，甚至它们是如何交流的。)”可知，麻省理工学院的科学家把蜘蛛网转换成音乐。故选A项。
29．推理判断题。根据第三段中Markus Buehler 所说“Even though the web looks really random (随机)，
there actually are a lot of inside structures and you can visualize (可视化) them and you can look at them, but it’s
really hard to grasp for the human imagination or human brain to understand all these structural details. (尽管蜘蛛
网看起来很随机，实际上有很多内部结构，你可以想象他们，你可以观察他们，但人类的想象力或人脑很
难理解所有这些结构细节。)”可知，蜘蛛网的结构复杂，人类难以理解其构造。故选D项。
30．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Spiders are able to build their webs without shelves or supports, so having a
better idea of how they work could lead to the development of advanced new 3D printing techniques. (蜘蛛可以在
没有架子或支撑的情况下织网，所以更好地了解它们是如何工作的，可能会导致先进的新型3D打印技术
的发展。)”可知，研究蜘蛛如何结网有利于提升打印技术。故选B项。
31．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其根据第一段“Scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology(麻省理
工学院)have turned spider webs into music——creating an strange soundtrack that could help them better
understand how the spiders output their complex creations and even how they communicate. (美国麻省理工学院
的科学家们已经把蜘蛛网变成了音乐——创造出一种奇怪的音乐，可以帮助他们更好地了解蜘蛛是如何输
出它们复杂的创造物，甚至它们是如何交流的。)”等内容可知，本文提出了一种新的创造性的方法来研究
蜘蛛。故选C项。D
（2023·湖北·华中师大一附中校考模拟预测）Have you ever taken a personality test and found the results
to be scarily accurate, checked your horoscope (星象学) and had everything come true or taken an online quiz that
told you precisely what your favorite Disney princess means about you? Well, we certainly have done so too many
times, so we decided to do a little investigation into how Internet quizzes, magazines and horoscope books seem to
know us so well.
We discovered that we’ve all been falling victim to the Barnum effect. The Barnum Effect is the phenomenon
that occurs when individuals believe that personality descriptions apply specifically to them, despite the fact that
the description is actually filled with information that applies to everyone. It was named after P.T. Barnum, a
famous 19th century showman, who would famously say, “There’s a fool born every minute.”
Indeed, Barnum proved to be right, as pseudoscience (伪科学) — such as astrology and personality test —
remains popular to this day. The Barnum effect explains why extremely general statements, such as the results of
your personality test, seem so specific to you. Don’t believe us? Well, late psychology professor Bertram Forer
offered some proof.
In a historic study, Forer conducted a personality test to his students. Forer copied statements such as “You
have a great need for other people to like and admire you.” and “You have a tendency to be critical of yourself”
from the newspaper’s horoscope column and gave a test to every student, Forer asked his students to rate the
accuracy of the test from one to five, with “one” being the least accurate and “five” being the most accurate. The
average rating was 4.26. The universally high ratings from students on the personality test supported the Barnum
effect.
One of the most important factors when reproducing this study is to keep the statements as vague as possible,
with a mix of mostly positive and some negative content. For example, using the phrase “at times” makes for a
powerful Barnum Effect. See “At times you are extroverted and sociable, while at other times you are introverted
and reserved”— who would not agree with that statement?
So, keep in mind that we are not immune to the Barnum effect. Take everything you hear with several grains
of salt.
32．What is the purpose of Paragraph 2?
A．To present a controversial opinion. B．To provide an example of an idea.
C．To offer a solution to a problem. D．To define the meaning of a term.
33．What is Paragraph 4 mainly about?A．Potential application of the Barnum effect. B．Further explanation of the Barnum effect.
C．Supporting evidence for the Barnum effect. D．A reasonable doubt of the research process.
34．Why do so many people believe the statements in horoscope and personality tests?
A．They are so specific. B．They are ambiguous.
C．They are positive. D．They are believable.
35．How is the passage organized?
A．Problem—solution. B．Cause—effect.
C．Phenomenon—analysis. D．Claim—counterclaim.
【答案】32．D 33．C 34．B 35．C
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章提出了“很多人相信占卜和性格测试等”这一现象并分析了其原因。
32．推理判断题。根据文章第二段“We discovered that we’ve all been falling victim to the Barnum effect. The
Barnum Effect is the phenomenon that occurs when individuals believe that personality descriptions apply
specifically to them, despite the fact that the description is actually filled with information that applies to everyone.
It was named after P.T. Barnum, a famous 19th century showman, who would famously say, “There’s a fool born
every minute.”(我们发现我们都成了巴纳姆效应的受害者。巴纳姆效应是一种现象，当人们认为性格描述只
适用于他们时，尽管事实上这些描述中充满了适用于所有人的信息。它是以19世纪著名的表演家P.T.巴纳
姆的名字命名的，他有句名言：“每分钟都有一个傻瓜出生。”)”可知，文章第二段主要解释了巴纳姆效
应的概念。由此推知，第二段的目的是给“巴纳姆效应”这一专业术语下定义。故选D项。
33．主旨大意题。根据文章第三段最后一句“Don’t believe us? Well, late psychology professor Bertram Forer
offered some proof.(不相信我们？嗯，已故的心理学教授Bertram Forer提供了一些证据)”和第四段“In a
historic study, Forer conducted a personality test to his students. Forer copied statements such as “You have a great

negative content.(在复制这项研究时，最重要的因素之一是让陈述尽可能模糊，主要是积极的内容和一些消

阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
（2023·福建泉州·福建省德化第一中学校联考一模）The days when art was an Olympic sport
Did you know that creating works of art used to be an Olympic competition? 36 In the first year,
Walter Winans became the first and the only Olympian to win medals for both art and sports. Despite this
seemingly optimistic start, the idea of the arts being included in the Olympic Games soon met with disinterest,
finally resulting in the removal of the art competition from the Olympic Games.
37
The idea to include art in the Olympics came from Baron Pierre de Coubertin, who was the founder of the
International Olympic Committee, which created the modern Olympics. Coubertin believed that the arts and sports
were linked and was impressed by anyone who had a firm command of both a sport and an artistic discipline(项目).
Why aren’t the arts included in the Olympics today?
For starters, only amateurs were allowed to compete in the arts part of the Olympics. 38 Having artists
of average quality competing while only the most competent athletes were allowed to compete created a dramatic
divide and gave the impression that the arts were not as important as sports.
Secondly, works of art created had to have sports as the subject matter. 39 Limiting the subjects also
contributed to making the arts part of the Olympic Games boring to the general public.
Finally, one of the biggest reasons was that the arts are subjective. Sports can be judged by time and distance,
making it easy to determine who is the winner. 40 This difficulty in judging a definite winner resulted in the
arts part becoming a non-competitive exhibition that ran for the duration of the Olympic Games.A．Why was art made an Olympic discipline?
B．What is a discipline in the Olympic Games?
C．This rule made the objects produced seem really boring.
D．The arts, on the other hand, are not quite so easy to judge
E．However, the arts part of the Olympics Games was soon abandoned
F．This means that many famous artists were banned from participating.
G．For 36 years, from 1912 to 1948, artists participated in the Olympic Games.
【答案】36．G 37．A 38．F 39．C 40．D
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，文章介绍了创作艺术作品是奥林匹克运动的项目的相关历史以及阐述了为什
么今天的奥运会不包括艺术项目的原因。
36．根据前文“Did you know that creating works of art used to be an Olympic competition?(你知道创作艺术作
品曾经是一项奥林匹克竞赛吗？)”可知，此处指出创作艺术作品曾经是奥林匹克竞赛的项目。G选项“For
36 years, from 1912 to 1948, artists participated in the Olympic Games.(从1912年到1948年的36年间，艺术家
们参加了奥运会。)”中指出艺术家们参加奥运会。artists与前文的creating works of art相呼应。故选G。
37．根据后文“Coubertin believed that the arts and sports were linked and was impressed by anyone who had a
firm command of both a sport and an artistic discipline(项目).( Coubertin相信艺术和体育是联系在一起的，他
对任何既精通体育又精通艺术的人都印象深刻。)”回答了为什么艺术会成为奥运项目。A选项“Why was
art made an Olympic discipline?( 为什么艺术会成为奥运项目?)”符合语境。故选A。
38．根据前文“For starters, only amateurs were allowed to compete in the arts part of the Olympics .(首先，只
有业余选手才被允许参加奥运会艺术部分的比赛。)”可知，只有业余选手才被允许参加奥运会。后文应该
提到该项规定造成的影响。F选项“This means that many famous artists were banned from participating.(这意
味着许多著名艺术家被禁止参加。)”指出，由于只有业余选手才被允许参加奥运会，这意味着许多著名艺
术家被禁止参加。故选F。
39．根据前文“Secondly, works of art created had to have sports as the subject matter. (其次，创作的艺术作品
必须以体育为题材。)”指出，创作艺术作品必须要以体育为题材，由此该项规则对作品进行了限制。C选
项“This rule made the objects produced seem really boring.(这个规则让制作出来的作品看起来很无聊。)”承
接前文，指出前文限定规则后导致作品看起来无聊，符合语境。故选C。
40．根据前文“Finally, one of the biggest reasons was that the arts are subjective. (最后，最大的原因之一是艺
术是主观的。)”可知，由于艺术是主观的，所以很难去判定。以及“Sports can be judged by time and
distance, making it easy to determine who is the winner. (运动可以用时间和距离来评判，因此很容易决定谁是赢家。)”可知，后文应该与此形成对应。D选项“The arts, on the other hand, are not quite so easy to judge.(另
一方面，艺术就不那么容易判断了。)”与段首呼应的同时，与前文形成对应，符合语境。故选D。

（2023·江苏镇江·江苏省镇江中学校考三模）阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使
之构成一篇完整的短文。
My middle child, Jake, was smart and good-looking, but he always sees the cup of life as half empty. Every
day when he came home from school, Jake would list everything bad that happened that day!
On his ninth birthday, we saved enough money to take the family to Disneyland for two days. His dad and I
didn’t make much then, so it cost a considerable amount, but we felt Jake’s birthday was worth it. After doing
Disneyland to death (玩够了), we returned to our hotel room, all exhausted. And I asked the birthday boy, “Did you
have fun today, Jake?”
All my fault-finding son could say to me was “Pirates (海盗) of the Caribbean was closed!” “Jake Marshall,” I
was clearly unable to contain my anger, “we stood in line for an hour and a half to see The Haunted Mansion. We
rode Space Mountain three times. We spent two days playing in the park, and all you can say is, Pirates of the
Caribbean was closed?” Clearly, something had to be done about his negative attitude and I was going to be the one
to do it!
I was determined to help him. I read every article and bought every book. With the help of great resources, I
found my son had the tendency to see the worst in every situation. My research told me that people with negativityhave an emotional need for order and sensitivity. That meant I needed to listen to my son’s daily pessimistic reports.
My usual reaction was to try to talk Jake out of his negativity, but that wouldn’t satisfy his need for sensitivity, so I
had to let him finish his complaints and ask what good things happened. Then I needed to wait until he could tell
me. This would help Jake realize that good things really were happening to him.
注意：
1．所续写短文的词数应为150左右；
2．续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好；

【答案】One day Jake came home from school and complained as usual. He listed the terrible things at school. I
listened carefully, looking at him and nodding now and then. After his complaint, I asked what good things
happened to him. “Nothing.” His response was what I could expect. “Something good must have happened. Think
it over, my boy.” I encouraged with a gentle smile. After about fifteen minutes’ effort, he admitted being praised by
his head teacher for helping cleaning the front desk. Through this practice, he realized something good really
happened to him.
From then on, Jake came to understand the power of seeing good points. He would not just consider everything
awful, but was willing to discover something awesome. And to my great joy, he kept patient and peaceful during his
sharing. He even danced in excitement at wonderful things. I witnessed his attitude changing from negativity topositivity. The path to getting there seemed to be a struggle, but he was making headway. My hard work was paying
off and I believed Jake would get used to seeing the cup of life as half full.
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者的二儿子Jake聪明英俊，但是却总是看到生活中发生的不好
的事情，在他九岁生日那天，作者攒够了钱带他去迪士尼玩儿了两天，但是Jake很消极地看到的是加勒比
海盗关闭这件事，作者决定要做些什么来改变Jake的消极态度，作者通过看书研究了一下，发现消极的人
在情感上需要秩序和敏感，作者决定要听Jake的抱怨，帮助Jake意识到好事真地发生在他身上。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“一天，杰克放学回家，像往常一样抱怨。”可知，第一段可描写作者如何听儿子的
抱怨。
②由第二段首句内容“从那时起，杰克开始明白看到优点的力量。”可知，第二段可描写杰克的改变。
2.续写线索：列出不好的事情——问有没有好事情——鼓励——意识到有好的事情——目睹杰克的改变
——得到好结果——期望
3.词汇激活
行为类
①鼓励：encourage/inspire
②意识到：realize/be aware of
③目睹：witness/behold
情绪类
①高兴：joy/delight
②兴奋：excitement/thrill
【点睛】[高分句型1] His response was what I could expect. (运用了由what引导的表语从句)
[高分句型2] Through this practice, he realized something good really happened to him. (运用了省略了引导词
that宾语从句)
