专题 12 记叙文类阅读理解（解析版）
记叙文类文章描述的是一件具体事情的发生、发展和结局，通常有时间、地点、人物、事件等。
一、解题策略
1. 记叙文写作特点
高考阅读理解体裁纷繁多样，但每套试卷通常包含一到两篇记叙文。在所有的阅读体裁中，记叙文的
难度相对是比较低的。如果掌握了阅读的技巧，多多实践，阅读能力就有可能大大提高。
要熟练掌握记叙文的阅读技巧，了解记叙文的写作特点与命题特点也是有必要的。
记叙文是一种记载和叙述事件由来，描绘事物和人物情景状态、过程及发展的文体。消息、通讯、传
记、游记、小说、童话、寓言以及记叙性的散文等文体，都属于记叙文的范畴。
就写作顺序而言，记叙文要么是按时间顺序，要么是按事件的重要性的顺序来展开。不管是哪种叙述
方法，最后经常会有一两句话抒发作者的情绪与感悟，这是记叙文的精华所在，也是阅读的难点所在，可
谓＂一篇之妙，在于落句＂。
总之：
1.同一人物重复出现，以人物关系为发展主线；
2.有不同时间点分布，以时间为发展顺序；
3.生词少，句子短；
4.最终给读者以一定道理以及启迪。
2. 记叙文考情分析
有些文章是按事件发展的经过为主线叙述的，在叙述的过程中有详有略；有些文章是按时间的顺序叙
述的，有顺叙、倒叙等。从总体上来讲，文章的难度通常不大，在阅读过程中，我们一直在某个线索的引
导下，随着作者的思路去了解一个故事或一件事情的始末，因此会感到比较轻松。命题往往从故事的情节、人物或事件之间的关系、作者的意图和态度、故事的前因和后果等方面入手，考查学生对细节的辨认能力
以及推理判断能力。阅读此类文章应特别注意：（1）若是一般故事性文章，应读懂故事的发生，发展，
高潮和结局；（2）若是＂哲理故事＂，要理解故事所蕴含的哲理意义；（3）若是 ＂逸闻趣事＂，应体
会对话的风趣性，进而才能感受幽默的精髓。
记叙文命题特点
从命题形式上看，常见的有细节理解、词义猜测、主旨大意、推理判断、作者意图等题型。除了推论
或词义辨识题，记叙文命题的顺序一般都会按照文章的脉络和故事发展的顺序层层推进，否则就会觉得别
扭，逻辑不通。同时，记叙文需要事件的发展过程作支撑，一半以上的题目都会用来检测考生对故事的了
解，因此，我们必须弄明白整件事情的发展脉络。而其余像主旨大意、作者意图之类的题目，则取决于文
章的落句，集中考查对作者所发的感触的理解。总之，细节题是记叙文命题的主流题型。而寓意之类的题
则是高一层次的题，有一定的难度和区分度，它们是拉开距离的题，答对了这些题，你才有可能成功地跻
身高分之列。
近五年高考英语阅读记叙文主要考查类型
1.故事叙述 2.成功经历 3.态度转变 4.人性关怀 5.职业生涯
6.人物影响 7.情感抒发 8.教育理念
3. 记叙文解题技巧
记叙文的应对策略即：不漏细节，奠定基础；把准寓意，方能成功。
一把钥匙开一把锁。要解答好记叙文阅读理解题，就应该有一套针对性强的方法和技巧。下面是我们
在阅读教学中积累下来的一点心得体会，希望能对大家有所帮助。
解题技能训练
No.1 顺藤摸瓜
记叙文中有大量的事件发展过程中的细节，包括记叙文的5W（what, who, when, where, why）要素。因
此我们作答细节题的时候，就没有那么复杂，一般只需要由前到后，从上到下，一题一题地做就可以了。
No.2 左顾右盼
在做题过程中，我们大都不能在文中找到与题干一字不差的词语或句子。这时我们需要认真研究问题，
抓住题干中的关键词语，然后到文中准确地找到与之相关的语句，或是疑似语句的位置，接着去左顾，或
右盼，在前句或后句寻找线索。
No.3 刨根问底
如前所述，主旨大意题或推理判断、作者意图题等实际上是同一类型的问题，或者说是可用同种方法
解答的题型。在解答此类题目的时候，不可被题干的表象所迷惑，要像剥洋葱一样，一层一层地剥；在四
个可选项中，一个一个地去证实，去排除。特别是解答推论或暗指类的题目，比如＂What can be inferred
from …?＂或是What does the author imply in…?＂之类的题目，文中所陈述的往往不是答案。我们要在文前
文后去查找，在字里行间里去寻觅。有时还少不了借助自己的生活经验和常理来体会这言外之意。No.4 拨云见日
每年的高考阅读题中，特别是记叙文的阅读题，都会出现一至两道词义猜测题。而这些词汇往往是你
素昧平生的，或者和你有点头之交，在文中却另有新意的，总之，猜的是那些在高考词汇表要求之外的词
汇。小小的一个词，一个短语，考核的不是你的语法的熟练程度，也不是你的记忆力，而是你对文章通篇
或者一个段落的整体把握和变通能力。这时，你不仅需要＂左顾右盼＂，还需要在几句话，一个段落，乃
至整篇文章的字里行间中快速搜寻，看看前面、后面都发生了些什么；反复琢磨人物、事物，或者人物与
事物之间的内在联系，才可能在最后拨开团团迷雾，从四个选项中选出正确答案。
总体解题步骤
1.分析题干（找出所有问题并预览全文）；
2.通读全文同时解出细节题（不可跳过文章中任何一处信息）；
3.把握中心，解剩余题。
解题注意事项
1.必须通读全文，不可遗漏任何信息，每一段落相互关联；
2.文章结尾处通常是中心主旨所在处，必须精读；
3.注意文章中的各种人物关系（主要人物关系/次要人物关系）。
二、高考真题
一、2022年高考真题
1. 【2022年6月全国甲卷D篇】
Sometime in the early 1960s, a significant thing happened in Sydney, Australia. The city discovered its harbor.
Then, one after another, Sydney discovered lots of things that were just sort of there — broad parks, superb
beaches, and a culturally diverse population. But it is the harbor that makes the city.
Andrew Reynolds, a cheerful fellow in his early 30s, pilots Sydney ferryboats for a living. I spent the whole
morning shuttling back and forth across the harbor. After our third run Andrew shut down the engine, and we went
our separate ways — he for a lunch break, I to explore the city.
“I’ll miss these old boats,” he said as we parted.
“How do you mean?” I asked.
“Oh, they’re replacing them with catamarans. Catamarans are faster, but they’re not so elegant, and they’re not
fun to pilot. But that’s progress, I guess.”Everywhere in Sydney these days, change and progress are the watchwords (口号), and traditions are
increasingly rare. Shirley Fitzgerald, the city’s official historian, told me that in its rush to modernity in the 1970s,
Sydney swept aside much of its past, including many of its finest buildings. “Sydney is confused about itself,” she
said. “We can’t seem to make up our minds whether we want a modern city or a traditional one. It’s a conflict that
we aren’t getting any better at resolving (解决).”
On the other hand, being young and old at the same time has its attractions. I considered this when I met a
thoughtful young businessman named Anthony. “Many people say that we lack culture in this country,” he told me.
“What people forget is that the Italians, when they came to Australia, brought 2000 years of their culture, the
Greeks some 3000 years, and the Chinese more still. We’ve got a foundation built on ancient cultures but with a
drive and dynamism of a young country. It’s a pretty hard combination to beat.”
He is right, but I can’t help wishing they would keep those old ferries.
32. What is the first paragraph mainly about?
A. Sydney’s striking architecture. B. The cultural diversity of Sydney.
C. The key to Sydney’s development. D. Sydney’s tourist attractions in the 1960s.
33. What can we learn about Andrew Reynolds?
A. He goes to work by boat. B. He looks forward to a new life.
C. He pilots catamarans well. D. He is attached to the old ferries.
34. What does Shirley Fitzgerald think of Sydney?
A. It is losing its traditions. B. It should speed up its progress.
C. It should expand its population. D. It is becoming more international.
35. Which statement will the author probably agree with?
A. A city can be young and old at the same time.
B. A city built on ancient cultures is more dynamic.
C. Modernity is usually achieved at the cost of elegance.
D. Compromise should be made between the local and the foreign.

2. 【2022年6月北京卷B篇】
My name is Alice. Early last year, I was troubled by an anxiety that crippled ( 削弱 ) my ability to do
anything. I felt like a storm cloud hung over me. For almost a year I struggled on, constantly staring at this wall that
faced me. My perfectionist tendencies were the main root of this: I wanted to be perfect at whatever I did, which
obviously in life is not possible, but it consumed me.One day, I attended a presentation by wildlife conservationist Grant Brown at my high school. His
presentation not only awed and inspired me, but also helped emerge an inner desire to make a difference in the
world. I joined a pre-presentation dinner with him and that smaller setting allowed me to slowly build up my
courage to speak one-on-one with him—an idea that had seemed completely impossible. This first contact was
where my story began.
A month later, Brown invited me to attend the World Youth Wildlife Conference. Looking back, I now see
that this would be the first in a series of timely opportunities that my old self would have let pass, but that this new
and more confident Alice enthusiastically seized. Shortly after I received his invitation, applications to join the
Youth for Nature and the Youth for Planet groups were sent around through my high school. I decided to commit to
completing the applications, and soon I was a part of a growing global team of young people working to protect
nature. Each of these new steps continued to grow my confidence.
I am writing this just six months since my journey began and I’ve realised that my biggest obstacle ( 障碍 )
this whole time was myself. It was that voice in the back of my head telling me that one phrase that has stopped so
many people from reaching their potential: I can’t. They say good things come to those who wait; I say: grab every
opportunity with everything you have and be impatient. After all, nature does not require our patience, but our
action.
24. What was the main cause for Alice’s anxiety?
A. Her inability to act her age. B. Her habit of consumption.
C. Her desire to be perfect. D. Her lack of inspiration.
25. How did Grant Brown’s presentation influence Alice?
A. She decided to do something for nature. B. She tasted the sweetness of friendship.
C. She learned about the harm of desire. D. She built up her courage to speak up.
26. The activities Alice joined in helped her to become more ________.
A. intelligent B. confident C. innovative D. critical
27. What can we learn from this passage?
A. Practice makes perfect. B. Patience is a cure of anxiety.
C. Action is worry’s worst enemy. D. Everything comes to those who wait.
【答案】24. C 25. A 26. B 27. C

Pasta and pizza were on everyone’s lunch menu in my native land of Italy. Everyone who had such a lunch
was fair-skinned and spoke Italian. A few years later, as I stood in the lunch line with my kindergarten class in a
school in Brooklyn, I realized things were no longer that simple. My classmates ranged from those kids with pale
skin and large blue eyes to those with rich brown skin and dark hair. The food choices were almost as diverse as the
students. In front of me was an array of foods I couldn’t even name in my native language. Fearing that I would
pick out something awful, I desperately tried to ask the boy ahead of me for a recommendation. Unfortunately,
between us stood the barrier of language.
Although my kindergarten experience feels like a century ago, the lessons I learned will stick in my mind
forever. For the past three summers, I have worked in a government agency in New York. New immigrants much
like the little girl in the lunch line flooded our office seeking help. I often had to be an interpreter for the Italian-
speaking ones. As I served the role of vital communication link, I was reminded of my desperate struggle to
converse before I learned English. I watched with great sympathy as elderly Italians tried to hold a conversation in
Italian with people who did not speak the language. It suddenly became very clear to me how lucky I was to be
fluent in two languages.
In New York, a multicultural city, students like me are blessed with a chance to work with a diverse
population. In my English to Italian translations, I’ve learned about social programs that I didn’t know existed. This
work expanded my mind in ways that are impossible inside the four walls of a classroom. Walking through the
streets of Brooklyn today, I am no longer confused by this city’s sounds and smells. Instead, enjoy its diversity.
1. What did the author realize after entering school in Brooklyn?
A. Time passed quickly. B. English was hard to learn.
C. The food was terrible. D. People were very different.
2. Who does “the little girl” in paragraph 2 refer to?
.
A An Italian teacher. B. A government official.
C. The author herself. D. The author’s classmate.
3. How did the summer job benefit the author?
A. It strengthened her love for school. B. It helped sharpen her sense of direction.
C. It opened her eyes to the real world. D. It made her childhood dream come true.

5. 【2022年1月浙江卷B篇】
The United States rose to global power on the strength of its technology,and the lifeblood of that technology
has long been electricity.By providing long-distance communication and energy,electricity created the modern
world.Yet properly understood,the age of electricity is merely the second stage in the age of steam, which began a
century earlier.
"It is curious that no one has put together a history of both the steam and electric revolutions."writes Maury
Klein in his book The Power Makers:Steam,Electricity,and the Men Who Invented Modern America.Klein,a noted
historian of technology, spins a narrative(叙述) so lively that at times it reads like a novel.
The story begins in the last years of the 18th century in Scotland,where Watt perfected"the machine that
changed the world".Klein writes,“America did not invent the steam engine,but once they grasped
its possibility they put it to more uses than anyone else.”
Meanwhile,over the course of 19th century,electricity went from mere curiosity to a basic necessity.Morse
invented a code for sending messages over an electromagnetic circuit. Bell then gave the telegraph a voice. Edison
perfected an incandescent bulb(白炽灯泡) that brought electric light into the American home.
Most importantly,Edison realized that success depended on mass electrification,which he showed in New
York City.With help from Tesla,Westinghouse's firm developed a system using alternating current（交流
电）,which soon became the major form of power delivery.
To frame his story,Klein creates the character of Ned,a fictional witness to the progress brought about by the
steam and electric revolutions in America during one man's lifetime. It's a technique that helps turn a long narrative
into an interesting one.24.What is Klein's understanding of the age of electricity?
A. It is closely linked to the steam age. B.It began earlier than people thought.
C. It is a little-studied period of history. D.It will come to an end sooner or later.
25.What can be inferred about Ned?
A.He was born in New York City. B.He wrote many interesting stories,
C.He created an electricity company. D.He lived mainly in the 19th century.
26.What is the text?
A.A biography. B. A book review. C.A short story. D.A science report.
B篇 24-26 ADB
第24题 细节理解题。根据第二段第一句以及第一段最后一句。可知，全文作者都在说蒸汽是与电力
输送关系紧密。故选A。
第25题 推理判断题。根据最后一段Klein creates the character of Ned-a fictional witness the progress...
可知Ned是虚构的人物，作者创造这个角色用以见证电气工业革命的发展，故选项ABC 错误，又根据第
三、四段的第一句可判断见证工业革命是在19 世纪，故选D。
第26题 文章体裁题。根据文章第二段作者提到的书以及书名Maury Klein in his book The Power
Makers, Steam, Electricity, and the Men Invented Modern America.以及最后一段简单介绍了其书的人物和故
事，可以推断是一篇书评，故选B。
二、2021年高考真题
1.【2021新高考1卷 B篇】
By day, Robert Titterton is a lawyer. In his spare time though he goes on stage beside pianist Maria
Raspopova—not as a musician but as her page turner. "I'm not a trained musician, but I've learnt to read
music so I can help Maria in her performance."
Mr Titterton is chairman of the Omega Ensemble but has been the group's official page turner for the
past four years. His job is to sit beside the pianist and turn the pages of the score so the musician doesn't
have to break the flow of sound by doing it themselves. He said he became just as nervous as those playing
instruments on stage."A lot of skills are needed for the job. You have to make sure you don't turn two pages at once and
make sure you find the repeats in the music when you have to go back to the right spot, " Mr Titterton
explained.
Being a page turner requires plenty of practice. Some pieces of music can go for 40 minutes and
require up to 50 page turns, including back turns for repeat passages. Silent onstage communication is key,
and each pianist has their own style of "nodding" to indicate a page turn which they need to practise with
their page turner.
But like all performances, there are moments when things go wrong. "I was turning the page to get
ready for the next page, but the draft wind from the turn caused the spare pages to fall off the stand, " Mr
Titterton said. "Luckily I was able to catch them and put them back."
Most page turners are piano students or up-and-coming concert pianists, although Ms Raspopova has
once asked her husband to help her out on stage.
"My husband is the worst page turner, " she laughed. "He's interested in the music, feeling every note,
and I have to say: 'Turn, turn!'" "Robert is the best page turner I've had in my entire life."
1.What should Titterton be able to do to be a page turner?
A.Read music. B.Play the piano.
C.Sing songs. D.Fix the instruments.
2Which of the following best describes Titterton's job on stage?
A.Boring. B.Well-paid. C.Demanding. D.Dangerous.
3What does Titterton need to practise?
A.Counting the pages.
B.Recognizing the "nodding".
C.Catching falling objects.
D.Performing in his own style.
4Why is Ms Raspopova's husband "the worst page turner" ?
A.He has very poor eyesight.
B.He ignores the audience.
C.He has no interest in music.D.He forgets to do his job.

2.【2021全国甲卷 C篇】
When I was 9, we packed up our home in Los Angeles and arrived at Heathrow, London on a gray
January morning. Everyone in the family settled quickly into the city except me. Without my beloved beaches
and endless blue-sky days, I felt at a loss and out of place. Until I made a discovery.
Southbank, at an eastern bend in the Thames, is the center of British skateboarding, where the continuous
crashing of skateboards left your head ringing. I loved it. I soon made friends with the local skaters. We spoke
our own language. And my favorite: Safe. Safe meant cool. It meant hello. It meant don't worry about it. Once,
when trying a certain trick on the beam（橫杆）, I fell onto the stones, damaging a nerve in my hand, and
Toby came over, helping me up: Safe, man. Safe. A few minutes later, when I landed the trick, my friends beat
their boards loud, shouting: "Safe! Safe! Safe!" And that's what mattered—landing tricks, being a good skater.
When I was 15, my family moved to Washington. I tried skateboarding there, but the locals were far less
welcoming. Within a couple of years, I'd given it up.When I returned to London in 2004, I found myself wandering down to Southbank, spending hours there.
I've traveled back several times since, most recently this past spring. The day was cold but clear; tourists and
Londoners stopped to watch the skaters. Weaving（穿梭） among the kids who rushed by on their boards, I
found my way to the beam. Then a rail-thin teenager, in a baggy white T-shirt, skidded（滑） up to the beam.
He sat next to me. He seemed not to notice the man next to him. But soon I caught a few of his glances."I was a
local here 20 years ago, " I told him. Then, slowly, he began to nod his head."Safe, man. Safe.”
"Yeah, " I said.“Safe."
1.What can we learn about the author soon after he moved to London?
A.He felt disappointed.
B.He gave up his hobby.
C.He liked the weather there.
D.He had disagreements with his family.
2.What do the underlined words "Safe! Safe! Safe!" probably mean?
A.Be careful! B.Well done! C.No way! D.Don't worry.
3.Why did the author like to spend time in Southbank when he returned to London?
A.To join the skateboarding.
B.To make new friends.
C.To learn new tricks.
D.To relieve his childhood days.
4.What message does the author seem to convey in the text?

3.【2021年6月 浙江卷】
Leslie Nielsen's childhood was a difficult one, but he had one particular shining star in his life—his
uncle, who was a well-known actor. The admiration and respect his uncle earned inspired Nielsen to make
a career（职业）in acting. Even though he often felt he would be discovered to be a no-talent, he moved
forward, gaining a scholarship to the Neighborhood Playhouse and making his first television appearance a
few years later in 1948. However, becoming a full-time, successful actor would still be an uphill battle for
another eight yeas until he landed a number of film roles that finally got him noticed.
But even then, what he had wasn't quite what he wanted. Nielsen always felt he should be doing
comedy but his good looks and distinguished voice kept him busy in dramatic roles. It wasn't until 1980—
32 years into his career—that he landed the role it would seem he was made for in Airplane! That movie
led him into the second half of his career where his comedic presence alone could make a movie a financial
success even when movie reviewers would not rate it highly.Did Nielsen then feel content in his career? Yes and no. He was thrilled to be doing the comedy that
he always felt he should do, but even during his last few year he always had a sense of curiosity, wondering
what new role or challenge might be just around the corner. He never stopped working, never retired.
Leslie Nielsen's devotion to acting is wonderfully inspiring. He built a hugely successful career with
little more than plain old hard work and determination. He showed us that even a single desire, never given
up on, can make for a remarkable life.
1.Why did Nielsen want to be an actor?
A.He enjoyed watching movies.
B.He was eager to earn money.
C.He wanted to be like his uncle.
D.He felt he was good at acting.
2.What do we know about Nelsen in the second half of his career?
A.He directed some high quality movies.
B.He avoided taking on new challenges.
C.He focused on playing dramatic roles.
D.He became a successful comedy actor.
3.What does Nielsen's career story tell us?
A.Art is long, life is short.
B.He who laughs last laughs longest.
C.It's never too late to learn.
D.Where there's a will there's a way.
【文章大意】本文记叙文。文章介绍了著名影视明星Nielsen的成名之路。

4.【2021年6月北京卷B篇】
I remember the day during our first week of class when we were informed about our semester（学期）
project of volunteering at a non-profit organization. When the teacher introduced us to the different organizations
that needed our help, my last choice was Operation Iraqi Children (OIC). My first impression of the organization
was that it was not going to make enough of a difference with the plans I had in mind.
Then, an OIC representative gave us some details, which somewhat interested me. After doing some research,
I believed that we could really do something for those kids. When I went online to the OIC website, I saw pictures
of the Iraqi children. Their faces were so powerful in sending a message of their despair（绝望）and need that I
joined this project without hesitation. We decided to collect as many school supplies as possible, and make them
into kits—one kit, one child.
The most rewarding day for our group was project day, when all the efforts we put into collecting the items
finally came together. When I saw the various supplies we had collected, it hit me that every kit we were to build
that day would eventually be in the hands of an Iraqi child. Over the past four months, I had never imagined how I
would feel once our project was completed. While making the kits, I realized that I had lost sight of the true
meaning behind it. I had only focused on the fact that it was another school project and one I wanted to get a good
grade on. When the kits were completed, and ready to be sent overseas, the warm feeling I had was one I would
never forget.
In the beginning, I dared myself to make a difference in the life of another person. Now that our project is
over, I realize that I have affected not only one life, but ten. With our efforts, ten young boys and girls will now be
able to further their education.
1.How did the author feel about joining the OIC project in the beginning?
A.It would affect his/her initial plans.
B.It would involve traveling overseas.
C.It would not bring him/her a good grade.
D.It would not live up to his/her expectations.
2.What mainly helped the author change his/her attitude toward the project?A.Images of Iraqi children. B.Research by his/her classmates.
C.A teacher's introduction. D.A representative's comments.
3.The author's OIC project group would help ten Iraqi children to .
A.become OIC volunteers B.further their education
C.study in foreign countries D.influence other children
4.What can we conclude from this passage?
A.One's potential cannot always be underrated.
B.First impression cannot always be trusted.
C.Actions speak louder than words.
D.He who hesitates is lost.

5.【2021年6月北京卷C篇】
Hundreds of scientists, writers and academics sounded a warning to humanity in an open letter published last
December: Policymakers and the rest of us must engage openly with the risk of global collapse. Researchers in
many areas have projected the widespread collapse as "a credible scenario（情景）this century".
A survey of scientists found that extreme weather events, food insecurity, and freshwater shortages might
create global collapse. Of course, if you are a non-human species, collapse is well underway.
The call for public engagement with the unthinkable is especially germane in this moment of still-
uncontrolled pandemic and economic crises in the world's most technologically advanced nations. Not very long
ago, it was also unthinkable that a virus would shut down nations and that safety nets would be proven so
disastrously lacking in flexibility.
The international scholars' warning letter doesn't say exactly what collapse will look like or when it might
happen. Collapseology, the study of collapse, is more concerned with identifying trends and with them the dangers
of everyday civilization. Among the signatories（签署者）of the warning was Bob Johnson, the originator of the
"ecological footprint" concept, which measures the total amount of environmental input needed to maintain a given
lifestyle. With the current footprint of humanity, "it seems that global collapse is certain to happen in some form,
possibly within a decade, certainly within this century, " Johnson said in an email.
Only if we discuss the consequences of our biophysical limits, the December warning letter says, can we have
the hope to reduce their "speed, severity and harm". And yet messengers of the coming disturbance are likely to be
ignored. We all want to hope things will turn out fine. As a poet wrote,
Man is a victim of dope（麻醉品）
In the incurable form of hope.
The hundreds of scholars who signed the letter are intent（执着）on quieting hope that ignores preparedness.
"Let's look directly into the issue of collapse, " they say, "and deal with the terrible possibilities of what we see
there to make the best of a troubling future."
1.What does the underlined word "germane" in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A.Scientific. B.Credible. C.Original. D.Relevant.
2.As for the public awareness of global collapse, the author is .A.worried B.puzzled C.surprised D.scared
3.What can we learn from this passage?
A.The signatories may change the biophysical limits.
B.The author agrees with the message of the poem.
C.The issue of collapse is being prioritized.
D.The global collapse is well underway.
【答案】1D 2A 3B

6.【2021年6月北京卷D篇】
Early fifth-century philosopher St. Augustine famously wrote that he knew what time was unless someone
asked him. Albert Einstein added another wrinkle when he theorized that time varies depending on where you
measure it. Today's state-of-the-art atomic（原子的）clocks have proven Einstein right. Even advanced physics
can't decisively tell us what time is, because the answer depends on the question you're asking.Forget about time as an absolute. What if, instead of considering time in terms of astronomy, we related time
to ecology? What if we allowed environmental conditions to set the tempo（节奏）of human life? We're
increasingly aware of the fact that we can't control Earth systems with engineering alone, and realizing that we need
to moderate（调节）our actions if we hope to live in balance. What if our definition of time reflected that?
Recently, I conceptualized a new approach to timekeeping that's connected to circumstances on our planet,
conditions that might change as a result of global warming. We're now building a clock at the Anchorage Museum
that reflects the total flow of several major Alaskan rivers, which are sensitive to local and global environmental
changes. We've programmed it to match an atomic clock if the waterways continue to flow at their present rate. If
the rivers run faster in the future on average, the clock will get ahead of standard time. If they run slower, you'll see
the opposite effect.
The clock registers both short-term irregularities and long-term trends in river dynamics. It's a sort of
observatory that reveals how the rivers are behaving from their own temporal frame（时间框架）, and allows us
to witness those changes on our smartwatches or phones. Anyone who opts to go on Alaska Mean River Time will
live in harmony with the planet. Anyone who considers river time in relation to atomic time will encounter a major
imbalance and may be motivated to counteract it by consuming less fuel or supporting greener policies.
Even if this method of timekeeping is novel in its particulars, early agricultural societies also connected time
to natural phenomena. In pre-Classical Greece, for instance, people "corrected" official calendars by shifting dates
forward or backward to reflect the change of season. Temporal connection to the environment was vital to their
survival. Likewise, river time and other timekeeping systems we're developing may encourage environmental
awareness.
When St. Augustine admitted his inability to define time, he highlighted one of time's most noticeable
qualities: Time becomes meaningful only in a defined context. Any timekeeping system is valid, and each is as
praiseworthy as its purpose.
1.What is the main idea of Paragraph 1?
A.Timekeeping is increasingly related to nature.
B.Everyone can define time on their own terms.
C.The qualities of time vary with how you measure it.
D.Time is a major concern of philosophers and scientists.
2.The author raises three questions in Paragraph 2 mainly to .
A.present an assumption B.evaluate an argumentC.highlight an experiment D.introduce an approach
3.What can we learn from this passage?
A.Those who do not go on river time will live an imbalanced life.
B.New ways of measuring time can help to control Earth systems.
C.Atomic time will get ahead of river time if the rivers run slower.
D.Modern technology may help to shape the rivers' temporal frame.
4.What can we infer from this passage?
A.It is crucial to improve the definition of time.
B.A fixed frame will make time meaningless.
C.We should live in harmony with nature.
D.History is a mirror reflecting reality.
【答案】1B 2D 3C 4C
【解析】
1段落大意题。根据原文第一段 "Even advanced physics can't decisively tell us what time is, because the
answer depends on the question you're asking." 即使是高级物理学也不能决定性地告诉我们时间是多少，因
为【答案】取决于你问的问题。可知第1段的主要思想是每个人都可以根据自己的条件定义时间。故选
B。
2写作目的题。根据原文第三段第一句 "Recently, I conceptualized a new approach to timekeeping that's
connected to circumstances on our planet, conditions that might change as a result of global warming." 最近，我
构思了一种新的计时方法。是对上一段的概括，提出的是一种新的计时方法。可知在第2段中主要提出了
三个问题主要是为了引入一种方法。A. present an assumption提出一个假设；B. evaluate an argument评估一

3推理判断题。根据原文第三段 "If the rivers run faster in the future on average, the clock will get ahead of
standard time. If they run slower, you'll see the opposite effect." 如果河流在未来平均运行得更快，则时钟将超
过标准时间。如果河流运行得较慢，则会看到相反的效果。可知我们能从这篇文章得知如果河流流速变
慢，原子时将超过河流时间。故选C。
4推理判断题。根据原文倒数第二段 "Temporal connection to the environment was vital to their survival.
Likewise, river time and other timekeeping systems we're developing may encourage environmental awareness."
与环境的时间联系对他们的生存至关重要。同样，我们正在开发的河流时间和其他计时系统可能会鼓励环
保意识。可知从这篇文章中我们能推断出我们应该与自然和谐相处。故选C。7.【2021年6月天津卷B篇】
When people ask me how I started writing, I find myself describing an urgent need that I felt to work with
language. Having said that, I did not know for a long time what I was looking for. It was not until I followed this
feeling to its source that I discovered I had a passion for writing. With some encouragement from my colleagues, I
had one of my poems published. This bit of success, however, was the point where my problem began.
Back in 1978, I had to travel between three different campuses in the morning, teaching freshman
composition. Afternoons I spent taking my daughter to her ballet and horse-riding lessons. I composed my lectureson the way, and that was all the thinking time I had. When I returned home, there was not enough of me left for
writing after a full working day.
As a way out, I decided to get up two hours before my usual time. My alarm was set for 5:00 A．M. The first
day I shut it off because I had placed it within arm's reach. The second day I set two clocks, one on my night table,and one out in the hallway. I had to jump out of bed and run to silence it before my family was awoken. This was
when my morning writing began.
Since that first morning in 1978, I have been following the habit to this day, not making or accepting many
excuses for not writing. I wrote my poems in this manner for nearly ten years before my first book was published.
When I decided to write a novel, I divided my two hours: the first for poetry, the second for fiction. Well or badly, Iwrote at least two pages a day. This is how my novel, The Line of the Sun. was finished. If I had waited to have the
time, I would still be waiting to write my novel.What I got out of getting up in the dark to work is the feeling that I am in control. For many people, the initial
sense of urgency to create easily dies away because it requires making the tough decision: taking the time to create,
stealing it from yourself if ifs the only way.
41．What motivated the author to start her writing career?A．Her strong wish to share.
B.Her keen interest in writing.
C.Her urgent need to make a living.D.Her passionate desire for fame.

A．She was too exhausted to write after a busy day.B.She had trouble in deciding on her writing style.
C.She had to take time to discipline her daughter.
D.She was unsure about her writing skills.43．Why did the author place an alarm clock in the hallway?
A．In case the clock in her room broke down.

44．How did the author manage to finish her novel?A．By sticking to writing every morning.
B.By writing when her mind was most active.
C.By drawing inspirations from classic novels.D.By reducing her teaching hours at school.

8.【2021年6月新高考2卷B篇】I have worked as a keeper at the National Zoo, Paris for 11 years. Spot and Stripe are the first tiger cubs that
have ever been born here. Globally, a third of Sumatran cubs in zoos don't make it to adulthood, so I decided to
give them round-the-clock care at home.
I've got two children—the younger one, Kynan, was extremely happy about the tigers arriving - but all of us
really looked forward to being part of their lives and watching them grow. I wasn't worried about bringing them
into my home with my wife and kids. These were cubs. They weighed about 2.5 kg and were so small that there
was absolutely no risk.
As they grew more mobile, we let them move freely around the house during the day, but when we were
asleep we had to contain them in a large room, otherwise they'd get up to mischief. We'd come down in the
morning to find they'd turned the room upside down, and left it looking like a zoo.
Things quickly got very intense due to the huge amount of energy required to look after them. There were
some tough times and I just felt extremely tired. I was grateful that my family was there to help. We had to have a
bit of a production line going, making up “tiger milk”, washing baby bottles, and cleaning the floors.
When Spot and Stripe were four months old, they were learning how to open doors and jump fences, and we
knew it really was time for them to go. It was hard for us to finally part with them. For the first few days, Kynan
was always a bit disappointed that the cubs weren't there.
I'm not sad about it. I'm hands-on with them every day at the zoo, and I do look back very fondly on the time
that we had them.
4. Why did the author bring the tiger cubs home?
A. To ensure their survival. B. To observe their differences.
C. To teach them life skills. D. To let them play with his kids.
5. What do the underlined words “get up to mischief” mean in paragraph 3?
A. Behave badly. B. Lose their way.
C. Sleep soundly. D. Miss their mom.
6. What did the author think of raising the tiger cubs at home?
A. Boring. B. Tiring. C. Costly. D. Risky.
7. Why did the author decide to send Spot and Stripe back to the zoo?
A. They frightened the children. B. They became difficult to contain.
C. They annoyed the neighbours. D. They started fighting each other.

9.【2021年6月新高考2卷C篇】
A British woman who won a S1 million prize after she was named the World's Best Teacher will use the cash
to bring inspirational figures into UK schools.
Andria Zafirakou,a north London secondary school teacher, said she wanted to bring about a classroom
revolution (变革). “We are going to make a change, ”she said.“I’ve started a project to promote the teaching of the
arts in our schools.”The project results from the difficulties many schools have in getting artists of any sort - whether an up-and-
coming local musician or a major movie star - into schools to work with and inspire children.
Zafirakou began the project at Alperton Community School, her place of work for the past twelve years. “I've
seen those magic moments when children are talking to someone they are inspired by - their eyes are shining and
their faces light up,” she said. “We need artists . more than ever in our schools."
Artist Michael Craig-Martin said: “Andria's brilliant project to bring artists from all fields into direct contact
with children is particularly welcome at a time when the arts are being downgraded in schools." It was a mistake to
see the arts as unnecessary, he added.
Historian Sir Simon Schama is also a supporter of the project. He said that arts education in schools was not
just an add-on. “It is absolutely necessary. The future depends on creativity and creativity depends on the young.
What will remain of us when artificial intelligence takes over will be our creativity, and it is our creative spirit, our
visionary sense of freshness,that has been our strength for centuries."
8. What will Zafirakou do with her prize money?
A. Make a movie. B. Build new schools.
C. Run a project. D. Help local musicians.
9. What does Craig-Martin think of the teaching of the arts in UK schools?
A. It is particularly difficult. B. It increases artists' income.
C. It opens children's mind. D. It deserves greater attention.
10. What should be stressed in school education according to Schama?
A. Moral principles. B. Interpersonal skills.
C. Creative abilities. D. Positive worldviews.
11. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A. Bring Artists to Schools B. When Historians Meet Artists
C. Arts Education in Britain D. The World's Best Arts Teacher
.

三、2020年高考真题
A【2020·全国卷II，D】
I have a special place in my heart for libraries. I have for as long as I can remember. I was always an
enthusiastic reader, sometimes reading up to three books a day as a child. Stories were like air to me and while
other kids played ball or went to parties, I lived out adventures through the books I checked out from the library.
My first job was working at the Ukiah Library when I was 16 years old .It was a dream job and I did
everything from shelving books to reading to the children for story time.
As I grew older and became a mother, the library took on a new place and an added meaning in my life. I had
several children and books were our main source(来源) of entertainment. It was a big deal for us to load up and go
to the local library, where my kids could pick out books to read or books they wanted me to read to them.
I always read ,using different voices ,as though I were acting out the stories with my voice and they loved it !It
was a special time to bond with my children and it filled them with the wonderment of books .Now, I see my children taking their children to the library and I love that the excitement of going to the library
lives on form generation to generation.
As a novelist, I’ve found a new relationship with libraries. I encourage readers to go to their local library when
they can’t afford to purchase a book. I see libraries as a safe haven(避风港) for readers and writers, a bridge that
helps put together a reader with a book. Libraries, in their own way, help fight book piracy(盗版行为) and 1 think
all writers should support libraries in a significant way when they can. Encourage readers to use the library. Share
library announcements on your social media. Frequent them and talk about them when you can.

B（2020·新高考全国卷I山东卷，B）
Jenifer Mauer has needed more willpower than the typical college student to pursue her goal of earning a
nursing degree. That willpower bore fruit when Jennifer graduated from University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire and
became the first in her large family to earn a bachelor’s degree.
Mauer, of Edgar, Wisconsin, grew up on a farm in a family of 10 children. Her dad worked at a job away from
the farm, and her mother ran the farm with the kids. After high school, Jennifer attended a local technical college,
working to pay her tuition(学费), because there was no extra money set aside for a college education. After
graduation, she worked to help her sisters and brothers pay for their schooling.
Jennifer now is married and has three children of her own. She decided to go back to college to advance her
career and to be able to better support her family while doing something she loves: nursing. She chose the UW-Eau
Claire program at Ministry Saint Joseph’s Hospital in Marshfield because she was able to pursue her four-year
degree close to home. She could drive to class and be home in the evening to help with her kids. Jenifer receivedgreat support from her family as she worked to earn her degree: Her husband worked two jobs to cover the bills,
and her 68-year-old mother helped take care of the children at times.
Through it all, she remained in good academic standing and graduated with honors. Jennifer sacrificed(牺牲)
to achieve her goal, giving up many nights with her kids and missing important events to study. ‘‘Some nights my
heart was breaking to have to pick between my kids and studying for exams or papers,’’ she says. However, her
children have learned an important lesson witnessing their mother earn her degree. Jennifer is a first-generation
graduate and an inspiration to her family-and that’s pretty powerful.

D（2020·江苏卷，D）
I was in the middle of the Amazon(亚马逊) with my wife, who was there as a medical researcher. We flew on
a small plane to a faraway village. We did not speak the local language, did not know the customs, and more often
than not, did not entirely recognize the food. We could not have felt more foreign.
We were raised on books and computers, highways and cell phones, but now we were living in a village
without running water or electricity It was easy for us to go to sleep at the end of the day feeling a little
misunderstood.
Then one perfect Amazonian evening, with monkeys calling from beyond the village green, we played soccer.
I am not good at soccer, but that evening it was wonderful. Everyone knew the rules. We all spoke the samelanguage of passes and shots. We understood one another perfectly. As darkness came over the field and the match
ended, the goal keeper, Juan, walked over to me and said in a matter-of-fact way, “In your home, do you have a
moon too?” I was surprised.
After I explained to Juan that yes, we did have a moon and yes, it was very similar to his, I felt a sort of
awe(敬畏) at the possibilities that existed in his world. In Juan’s world, each village could have its own moon. In
Juan’s world. the unknown and undiscovered was vast and marvelous. Anything was possible.
In our society, we know that Earth has only one moon. We have looked at our planet from every angle and
found all of the wildest things left to find. I can, from my computer at home, pull up satellite images of Juan’s
village. There are no more continents and no more moons to search for, little left to discover. At least it seems that
way.
Yet, as I thought about Juan’s question, I was not sure how much more we could really rule out. I am, in part,
an ant biologist, so my thoughts turned to what we know about insect life and I knew that much in the world of
insects remains unknown. How much, though? How ignorant(无知的) are we? The question of what we know and
do not know constantly bothered me.
I began collecting newspaper articles about new species, new monkey, new spider…, and on and on they
appear. My drawer quickly filled. I began a second drawer for more general discoveries: new cave system
discovered with dozens of nameless species, four hundred species of bacteria found in the human stomach. The
second drawer began to fill and as it did I wondered whether there were bigger discoveries out there, not just
species, but life that depends on things thought to be useless, life even without DNA. I started a third drawer for
these big discoveries. It fills more slowly, but all the same, it fills.
In looking into the stories of biological discovery, I also began to find something else, a collection of
scientists, usually brilliant occasionally half-mad, who made the discoveries. Those scientists very often see the
same things that other scientists see, but they pay more attention to them, and they focus on them to the point of
exhaustion(穷尽), and at the risk of the ridicule of their peers. In looking for the stories of discovery, I found the
stories of these people and how their lives changed our view of the world.
We are repeatedly willing to imagine we have found most of what is left to discover. We used to think that
insects were the smallest organisms(生物), and that nothing lived deeper than six hundred meters. Yet, when
something new turns up, more often than not, we do not even know its name.
1. How did the author feel on his arrival in the Amazon?
A. Out of place. B. Full of joy. C. Sleepy. D. Regretful.2. What made that Amazonian evening wonderful?
A. He learned more about the local language.
B. They had a nice conversation with each other.
C. They understood each other while playing.
D. He won the soccer game with the goal keeper.
3. Why was the author surprised at Juan’s question about the moon?
A. The question was too straightforward.
B. Juan knew so little about the world.
C. The author didn’t know how to answer.
D. The author didn’t think Juan was sincere.
4. What was the author’s initial purpose of collecting newspaper articles?
A. To sort out what we have known.
B. To deepen his research into Amazonians.
C. To improve his reputation as a biologist.
D. To learn more about local cultures.
5. How did those brilliant scientists make great discoveries?
A. They shifted their viewpoints frequently.
B. They followed other scientists closely.
C. They often criticized their fellow scientists.
D. They conducted in-depth and close studies.

big discoveries.”可知，我开始收集报纸上关于新物种、新蜘蛛的文章……它们源源不断地出现，我
的抽屉很快就填满了。我开始用第二个抽屉来储存更普遍的发现:在新的洞穴系统发现了几十个无名
的物种……我还为这些重大发现准备了第三个抽屉。由此判断，作者收集报纸文章的初始目的是为
了分类我们所知道的事情。故选A。
5. D【解析】细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“but they pay more attention to them ,and they focus on them to the

E（2020·天津卷，B）
“They tell me that you’d like to make a statue(塑像) of me-is that correct, Miss Vinnie Ream?”
The deep, gentle voice helped calm the nervous girl. Asking a favor of the President of the United States was
no casual matter, especially for a seventeen-year-old girl.“Yes, sir,” she replied, her dark eyes meeting his. “I wouldn’t have duo ask you, but my teacher, Mr. Mills,
says I am ready. I plan to make it in an admirable manner. “
President Lincoln smiled. “Painters, sculptors-they’ve all tried to make the best of this ordinary face, but I’m
afraid there’s not much hope. What did you have in mind, Miss Ream? A bust(半身像)?”
Before Vinnie could say yes, the President hurried on, a shade of apology in his voice.
“Of course-I shouldn’t have asked. A full-length pose would be much too big a project for a young woman
your size. “
Vinnie’s face turned red. She realized she looked like a child, with her tiny figure. “Small does not mean
weak, sir,” she defended herself. “I was born in the country of Wisconsin. I’ve driven teams of horses and carried
water. Making a full-length clay(粘土) figure would not exhaust my strength-and that is what I intend to do!”
The President’s eyes, brightened at her show of spirit. “Sorry, madam, I have underestimated you as I didn’t
know your background.”
But his smile faded as he rubbed his beard with bony fingers, in thought. “Miss Ream,” he sighed, “I’d like to
let you do it, but as you know, we are in the middle of a war. How could I possibly take the time to pose for a
sculpture now? I hardly have a minute to myself.”
Vinnie glanced around and noted the size of his office. “I work quickly,” she said. Her voice was soft but
confident as she pointed to the corner near the windows. “If I were to bring my clay here and work for three hours
every afternoon, I could complete most of the project while you are at your desk.”
The President seemed to consider her idea seriously. He got up and shook Vinnie’s hand warmly, “I’ve heard
that you are a talented young woman, and I have found you charming and intelligent as well. I cannot make my
decision immediately, but you will hear from me soon.”
The very next day, Vinnie received an invitation from the President.
1. What gave Vinnie confidence to make her request of President Lincoln?
A. Her aggressive personality. B. Mr. Mills’s encouraging remark.
C. President Lincoln’s gentle voice. D. Her interest in a challenging job.
2. How did President Lincoln first respond to Vinnie’s request?
A. Pleased. B. Thrilled. C. Regretful. D. Doubtful.
3. Vinnie confirmed her ability to make a full-length statue by highlighting ______.
A. her experience from other projects
B. her innocent childhood in the country
C. the heavy labor she had done beforeD. the skill she picked up in Wisconsin
4. Vinnie wanted to choose the corner near the windows to ______.
A. achieve effects of natural lighting
B. keep all her tools within easy reach
C. observe the President at a right angle
D. avoid disturbing the president’s work
5. What message does the story convey?

4. D【解析】推理判断题。根据倒数第四段中的“Miss Ream,” he sighed, “I’d like to let you do it, but as you
know, we are in the middle of a war. How could I possibly take the time to pose for a sculpture now? I
hardly have a minute to myself. “可知，总统提到自己没有时间摆姿势来让Vinnie做雕像。根据倒数第
三段中的“Vinnie glanced around and noted the size of his office. “I work quickly,” she said. Her voice
was soft but confident as she pointed to the corner near the windows. “If I were to bring my clay here andwork for three hours every afternoon, I could complete most of the project while you are at your desk.”可
知，Vinnie环顾四周，注意到了他办公室的大小。“我干得很快，”她说。她指着靠近窗户的那个
角落，声音柔和而自信。“如果我把我的粘土带到这里来，每天下午工作三个小时，我就可以在你
办公的时候完成大部分的项目。”由此可推知，上文中总统提到自己没有时间摆姿势来让Vinnie做
雕像，于是Vinnie想选择靠近窗户的角落，是为了避免干扰总统的工作。故选D。
5. A【解析】推理判断题。根据文章主要记叙了Vinnie Ream向林肯总统提出给他做一个全身雕像的请求，
一开始林肯总统对此表示怀疑，在Vinnie的不断努力争取后，最终第二天Vinnie收到了林肯总统的
邀请。由此可推知，这个故事表达了意志坚强的人能达到目标的思想。故选A。
三、模拟演练
1、
That cold January night, I was growing sick of my life in Urumqi (capital of Xinjiang autonomous region, 准
噶尔蒙古语, 意为“优美的牧场”) . There I was, walking home at one in the morning after a tiring practice at
the theater. With opening night only a week away, I was still learning my lines. I was having trouble dealing with
my part-time job at the bank and my acting at night at the same time. As I walked, I thought seriously about giving
up both acting and Urumqi. City life had become too much for me.
As I walked down empty streets under tall buildings, I felt very small and cold. I began running, both to keep
warm and to keep away from any possible robbers. Very few people were still out except a few sad-looking
homeless people under blankets.
About a block from my apartment, I heard a sound behind me. I turned quickly, half expecting to see someone
with a knife or a gun. The street was empty. All I saw was shining streetlight. Still, the noise had made me nervous,
so I started to run faster. Not until I reached my apartment building and unlocked the door did I realize what the
noise had been. It had been my wallet falling to the sidewalk.
Suddenly I wasn’t cold or tired anymore. I ran out of the door and back to where I’d heard the noise.
Although I searched the sidewalk anxiously for fifteen minutes, my wallet was nowhere to be found.
Just as I was about to give up the search, I heard the garbage truck pull up to the sidewalk next to me. When a
voice called from the inside “Alisa Guli?” (古丽，维吾尔语，意为美丽的花朵) I thought I was dreaming. How
could this man know my name? The door opened, and out jumped a small red-haired man with an amused look in
his eyes. “Is this what you’re looking for?” he asked, holding up a small square shape.It was nearly 3 A．M. by the time I got into bed. I wouldn’t get much sleep that night, but I had gotten my
wallet back. I also had gotten back some enjoyment of city life. I realized that the city couldn’t be a bad place as
long as people were willing to help each other.

2、
The tables quickly turned for an 89-year-old pizza delivery driver who received a surprise delivery of his own
from "regulars" on his route-a $12, 000 tip.
Derlin Newey delivered pizzas for Papa John’s about 30 hours a week. He started the job after realizing he
couldn't live only on social security checks. Despite being forced to work at his advanced age, he didn't let that
affect his attitude. In addition to being a delivery driver, Newey was also a rising TikTok star thanks to some loyal
customers inspired by his kindness. Fans of pizza, the Valdez family said they always requested him when ordering
pizza and started recording his deliveries as TikTok videos. "It's crazy. Everybody loves him," said Dad Carlos
Valdez. The family said his signature phrase with each delivery was, "Hello, are you looking for some pizza?"
With more than 53, 000 followers, the Valdez family often got comments asking why Newey was delivering
pizzas at his age. The family agreed that he shouldn’t have to work so much and decided to use their platform for
some good. They asked their followers to make a donation to help Newey, and the money started rolling in. Theywere quickly able to raise $12, 000. All that was left was to surprise Newey in his own home, making a special
delivery to their special delivery man.
Newey was completely caught off guard. The "TikTok-famous" delivery man thought they were going to
bring him a shirt with their signatures, which they did, but he got far more than he had expected when Valdez
handed him a fat envelope filled with cash. "We collectively prepared a gift for you, and I'm here to deliver that gift
to you on behalf of the TikTok community," Valdez said.
Newey didn't even know what TikTok was, asking, "Is that an online group where you communicate with
each other through the telephone?" Tears welled up in his eyes as he gratefully accepted the amazing gift.

checks "（他在意识到他不能只靠社会保障过活后开始了这份工作）可知，Newey在89岁高龄选择做送餐
员是生活压力所迫，是为了支付生活费用，故选A。

star thanks to some loyal customers inspired by his kindness "（除了是一名送货司机，纽威也是一名冉冉升起

解很少。故选C。
3、
One beautiful day, I showed up for work, where I had just been promoted. I was right in the middle of training
a new girl, when my boss asked to talk to me for a second. After that conversation, you can effectively cross “had a
good job" off my comfortable living checklist. No warning. In fact, just the month before I had received my fifth
Employee of the Month award. I was speechless and so was everyone else. Seven of us were cut from my
department that day. Later, I would discover that there were thousands of cuts companywide. I worked at a bank. A
failing one.
When something like this happens to you, it's natural to ask why. I reviewed all my work accomplishments. I
thought about how I had been a top performer every month since I was hired and about how they gave me the
highest rating on my review. What had I done wrong? What could I have done better?
The truth is that sometimes we search for a logical explanation in a situation that can’t be understood. The
only way to move past it is to have confidence in the job you did as an employee and understand that you are a
victim of an unfortunate circumstance.Speaking of writing, with all of the extra time on my hands, I reunited with the long lost love of my life:
writing.
I decided to pursue writing as an actual job. I designed a website and applied for writing jobs. I started getting
more and more clients. It occurred to me that with some hard work I might be able to make a living doing what I
love. So there I was, three months after the sky fell, thinking about how incredibly blessed I was. And this would
never have happened had I not lost something in the first place.

B．Her colleagues weren't friendly.
C．She was misunderstood by her boss
D．She always failed to finish her tasks on time.
6．How did the author feel about her situation in the end?

C．Surprised. D．Disappointed.
7．What would be the best title for the text?
A．Interest Will Help Us to Find a Way
B．If You Can Dream It, You Can Do It.
C．Nothing Is Impossible to a Willing Heart
D．When One Door Closes, Another Opens
【答案】
4．A
5．A
6．B
7．D
【解析】本文是一篇记叙文，主主要讲作者在被解雇后又找到了谋生的手段。
4．细节理解题。根据第一段的“After that conversation, you can effectively cross “had a good job" off my
comfortable living checklist. No warning.（在那次谈话之后，你可以有效地把“有一份好工作”从我的舒适生活清单上划掉。）”及后面的“Seven of us were cut from my department that day.（那天我们部门裁掉了
七个人。）”可知，作者那天被解雇了，故选A。
5．细节理解题。根据第一段的“In fact, just the month before I had received my fifth Employee of the
Month award.（事实上，就在一个月前，我刚刚获得了我的第五个月度最佳员工奖。）”可知，她的表现
很棒。故选A。
6．推理判断题。根据最后一段的“It occurred to me that with some hard work I might be able to make a
living doing what I love. So there I was, three months after the sky fell, thinking about how incredibly blessed I
was.（我突然想到，通过努力工作，我也许可以靠做自己喜欢的事情谋生。天塌下来三个月后，我一直在
想我是多么幸运。 ）”可知，最后，作者对自己的处境感到满意，故选B。
7．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是最后一段的“It occurred to me that with some hard work I might be
able to make a living doing what I love. So there I was, three months after the sky fell, thinking about how
incredibly blessed I was.（我突然想到，通过努力工作，我也许可以靠做自己喜欢的事情谋生。天塌下来三
个月后，我一直在想我是多么幸运。 ）”可知，本文主要讲作者在被解雇后又找到了谋生的手段，因此D
选项When One Door Closes, Another Opens（当一扇门关闭时，另一扇门会打开）可以作为最好的题目，故
选D。
4、
Many years ago, my mother read from the book Blueberries for Sal by Robert McCloskey to me. I remember
as if it were yesterday, hearing her voice at my side on a cold wintry night. My mother's voice changed my world.
Long before I could read on my own, she shared with me the strength and beauty of McCloskey's language —
a story of a little girl and her mother out in nature, co-existing with a mother bear and her own baby. The power of
the story, of language and of my mother, all came together.And it happened many times after that, over and over.
The read aloud made me a reader.
Years later, I was reading aloud a picture book to a small child in a classroom. His life, so far, had not been
easy. His childhood was troubled by poverty and loneliness. In that moment, in the joy of the read aloud, he had an
idea that started something big.
What he said was this: “Mrs. Allyn, let's make sure everyone knows how good this feels. Let's have a holiday
for the read aloud.” Therefore, my organization, LitWorld, created a grassroots movement World Read Aloud Day
in 2010 to honor this young boy's wish for everyone to be able to have a read aloud every day.Since the day he shared that good idea with us, World Read Aloud Day has become a worldwide event
reaching over one million people in more than 65 countries around the world.
This year we are over 600 cities strong, a number that is growing every day.
Children who grow up as readers become engaged citizens of the global world, and every child deserves the
right to read. When I say that reading aloud will change the world, I know it sounds simple. But one of the many
great things about giving kids access to the power of stories and sharing them together is that it is simple. It is also
cheap and easily done. And the impact is huge.
4．How did the author's parent change her life?
A．By reading aloud to her. B．By listening to her reading.
C．By buying many books for her. D．By encouraging her to read aloud.
5．What does the underlined part “an idea” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A．To start a holiday. B．To reduce poverty.
C．To found LitWorld. D．To overcome loneliness.
6．What can we know about World Read Aloud Day from Paragraph 5?
A．Its origin. B．Its future. C．Its purpose. D．Its development.
7．What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A．Sticking to reading isn't easy. B．Reading gives a high rate of return.
C．Reading aloud isn't actually simple. D．Kids should try to change the world.
【答案】
4．A
5．A
6．D
7．B
【解析】本文是一篇记叙文，作者讲述了了大声阅读对自己的巨大影响，以及世界大声朗读日的创立
和发展。
4．细节理解题。根据第一段最后两句“I remember as if it were yesterday, hearing her voice at my side
on a cold wintry night. My mother’s voice changed my world.( 我记得好像是昨天，在一个寒冷的冬天，听到
她在我身边的声音。我母亲的声音改变了我的世界。)”可知，母亲大声朗读改变了作者的一生。故A项正
确。
5．词句猜测题。划线词所在句“In that moment，in the joy of the read aloud，he had an idea that started
something big.”句意是：在那一刻，在朗读的喜悦中，他有了一个想法，开始一些重大的事情，结合下一段“What he said was this: “Mrs. Allyn, let's make sure everyone knows how good this feels. Let's have a holiday for
the read aloud.”( 他说的是：“艾伦夫人，让我们确保每个人都知道这感觉有多好, 让我们有一个大声朗读
日)”可推断，这个想法指的是创建朗读日。故A项正确。
6．推理判断题。根据本段第一句“Since the day he shared that good idea with us, World Read Aloud Day
has become a worldwide event reaching over one million people in more than 65 countries around the world(自从
他和我们分享这个好主意的那一天以来，世界朗读日已成为一项世界性的活动，惠及全世界65个以上国家
的100多万人)”可知我们可以从本段中了解世界朗读日的发展。故D项正确。
7．推理判断题。根据最后一段的“I know it sounds simple．But one of the many great things about
giving kids access to the power of stories and sharing them together is that it is simple．It is also cheap and easily
done．And the impact is huge.(我知道这听起来很简单，但让孩子们接触故事的力量并分享故事的伟大之处
之一是它很简单，它也很便宜，很容易完成，并且影响很大。)”可推断，读书给人的回报率很高。故B项
正确。
5、
The person who set the course of my life was a school teacher named Marjorie Hurd. When 1 stepped off a
ship in New York Harbor in 1949, I was a nine-year-old war refugee, who had lost his mother and was coming to
live with the father he did not know. My mother, Eleni Gatzoyiannis, had been imprisoned and shot for sending my
sisters and me to freedom.
I was thirteen years old when I entered Chandler Junior High. Shortly after I arrived, I was told to select a
hobby to pursue during“club hours.” The idea of hobbies and clubs made no sense to my immigrant ears, but I
decided to follow the prettiest girl in my class. She led me into the presence of Miss Hurd, the school newspaper
adviser and English teacher.
A tough woman with salt-and pepper hair and determined eyes, Miss Hurd had no patience with lazy bones.
She drilled us in grammar, assigned stories for us to read and discuss, and eventually taught us how to put out a
newspaper. Her introduction to the literary wealth of Greece gave me a new perspective on my war-torn homeland,
making me proud of my origins. Her efforts inspired me to understand the logic and structure of the English
language. Owing to her inspiration, during my next twenty-five years, I became a, journalist by profession.
Miss Hurd retired at the age of 62. By then, she had taught for a total of 41 years. Even after her retirement,
she continually made a project of unwilling students in whom she spied a spark of potential. The students weremainly from the most troubled homes, yet she alternately bullied and charmed them with her own special brand of
tough love, until the spark caught fire.
Miss Hurd was the one who directed my grief and pain into writing. But for Miss Hurd, I wouldn't have
become & reporter. She was the one who sent me into journalism and indirectly caused all the good things that
came after.
8．What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 most probably mean?
A．Hobbies and clubs did not interest the author.
B．The author turned a deaf ear to joining clubs.

A．Miss Hurd employed a unique way to handle these students.
B．Miss Hurd's contribution was recognized across the nation.

【答案】
8．D
9．B
10．A
11．C【解析】本文作者主要介绍了自己的老师Marjorie Hurd小姐，其中重点讲述了Hurd老师对他的人生
道路产生的重要影响。Hurd老师让作者了解了希腊文学这一宝贵财富，使得作者对饱受战争蹂躏的祖国，
有了新的认识，并为它感到自豪；并让作者学会了英语的逻辑与结构。多亏了Hurd老师的鼓励，在未来
的二十五年里，作者成为了一名专业的记者。
8．词句猜测题。根据上文的介绍Shortly after I arrived, I was told to select a hobby to pursue during “club
hours.”(在我到达后不久，我被告知选择一个爱好在“俱乐部时间”。 )，在结合第二段中"…but I decided
to follow the prettiest girl in my class．"使用了转折连词but，意为：但是我决定跟着我班里最漂亮的女孩，
可以推测出划线的句子表示的意思应与之相反，即虽然我对于爱好和俱乐部毫无概念。故选D
9．细节理解题。根据第三段中"Her introduction to the literary wealth of Greece gave me a new
perspective on my war-torn homeland，making me proud of my origins．(她对希腊文学的介绍给了我一个关于
我饱受战争蹂躏的祖国的新视角，使我为我的起源感到骄傲。)"可知，Hurd老师让我了解了希腊文学这一
宝贵财富，使得我对饱受战争蹂躏的祖国，有了新的不同的认识，为它感到自豪。故选B。
10．推理判断题。根据第四段的Even after her retirement, she continually made a project of unwilling
students in whom she spied a spark of potential. The students were mainly from the most troubled homes, yet she

她退休后，她仍然继续从事一个不情愿上学的学生项目，她在这些学生身上发现潜在的火花。学生们主要
来自最麻烦的家庭，但她用她自己坚韧的爱敦促他们，直到点燃这些火花。)可知，在Hurd老师退休之
后，她继续从事了一项工作：即用她独特地严厉的爱应对帮助不愿意学习的学生发现他们潜在的闪光点。
故选A。11．主旨大意题。通读全文特别是文章第一句The person who set the course of my life was a school
teacher named Marjorie Hurd.可知，本文主要讲述了我的老师Marjorie Hurd对我的人生道路产生的重要影
响。C项中的“shaped the author's life”与“ set the course of my life”意思相近。故选C。

The bell rang. Jada sighed, slowly moved from the lockers where she had been leaning, and headed down the
hall to her chemistry class. Honors Chemistry! Jada couldn't believe that her mom was making her take the class
because Jada's counselor had said that she had real talent in science.
Jada had to admit that she liked science and that last year's class was a breeze, but come on, Honors
Chemistry? She wouldn’t know anyone in the class，and they probably wouldn't know anyone like her.The good thing about being late is that it shortened the period a bit. The bad thing is that it made her seem like
she was making a grand entrance. To make matters worse, the only two seats left in class were at the lab table at the
very front of the room.
Jada held her breath and walked in. Everyone's eyes were on her. She just knew it. They were staring at her
coal black hair (freshly dyed), her black lipstick, her black fingernail polish, and her thrift-store black leather
jacket. All she saw were polo shirts and khaki pants.
This can’t get any worse, Jada thought. But at least she didn't get shouted at by the teacher. He was too busy
talking to a new kid, a HUGE new kid, who had to weigh at least 250 pounds. A football player, probably. She
hated football players. They thought they were so great. That group of jocks that hung out by the cafeteria always
made fun of her.
The new kid made his way over to her table with his head down. He had to squeeze into the seat, and his legs
wouldn't fit under the lab table. He shot Jada a glance and turned red.
Mr. Martin, the teacher, began class with this announcement: "Okay, everyone. I know most of you know
each other from last year's Honors Physical Science class." Jada sighed loudly."But just take a minute and introduce
yourself to the person sitting at your table. You'll be partners. You'll be working closely together all year."
Jada rolled her eyes and stared straight ahead. Then she heard a surprisingly soft voice from next to her. "Hi,
I'm Robert. I'm new here."...
4．What can you learn about Jada from the first two paragraphs?
A．She found she didn't like science as she thought.
B．She was angry that her mother made her go to school.
C．She wasn't willing to take the Honors Chemistry class.
D．She thought this year's chemistry class would be a breeze,
5．The writer described Jada's appearance in paragraph 4 in order to_______.
A．reveal how different she was from her classmates
B．explain why she was late for school that morning
C．imply that she felt sorry for making a grand entrance
D．give readers a general impression of science students
6．In paragraph 5, the phrase "that group of jocks" refers to _______.
A．the new kid B．football players
C．Jada's teacher D．Jada's classmates
7．What can we learn about the new kid according to the passage2?A．He was shy. B．He was rude.
C．He liked sports. D．He looked sad.
【答案】
4．C
5．C
6．B
7．A
【解析】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Jada第一次上化学课迟到的经历以及她的心理活动。
4．推理判断题。根据文章第一段“The bell rang. Jada sighed, slowly moved from the lockers where she
had been leaning, and headed down the hall to her chemistry class.（铃声响了。杰达叹了口气，慢慢地从她一
直倚靠的储物柜里走出来，朝走廊走去上化学课）”和文章第二段“Jada had to admit that she liked science
and that last year's class was a breeze, but come on, Honors Chemistry? She wouldn’t know anyone in the class，
and they probably wouldn't know anyone like her.（Jada不得不承认她喜欢科学，去年的课很轻松，但是得了
吧，荣誉化学?她不认识班里的任何人，他们可能也不认识像她这样的人）”可知，Jada对于上化学课有些
抵触，所以才会在第一次上课时，响铃之后，慢悠悠的起身去教室，并且在新班级也没有任何认识的人。
由此可推知，她不愿意上化学课。故选C。
5．推理判断题。根据文章第三段“The bad thing is that it made her seem like she was making a grand
entrance.（糟糕的是，这让她看起来像是在隆重登场）”和第四段“They were staring at her coal black hair
(freshly dyed), her black lipstick, her black fingernail polish, and her thrift-store black leather jacket.（他们盯着她
乌黑的头发(刚染的)，黑色的口红，黑色的指甲油，还有她在旧货店买的黑色皮夹克）”可知，Jada已经
预料到了迟到会让她的出现看起来很隆重，第四段里作者描述Jada与众不同的外表，更能凸显出她因为迟
到受到大家的注意而感到心虚和抱歉。故选C。
6．词句猜测题。根据上文“She hated football players. They thought they were so great.（她讨厌足球运
动员。他们觉得自己很了不起）”以及该词组所在的句子“That group of jocks that hung out by the cafeteria
always made fun of her.（在自助餐厅附近闲逛的那群运动员总是取笑她）”可知，that group of jocks指代前
文的“football players”。故选B。
7．推理判断题。根据文章第六段“The new kid made his way over to her table with his head down.（新

I still remember when I moved to Mexico City in 2014, my husband and I spent most of our free time
exploring the city of 20 million. We squeezed our way through massive crowds that had traveled across the country
to pray to the Virgin of Guadalupe, Mexico's patron saint. We spent hours in crowded fruit and vegetable markets,
looking for the perfect mango milkshake or vendors selling the most interesting-sounding things. Once our two
children were born, we made more stops at nearby parks, catching up with friends on the playground or testing out
new flavors of food.
The idea of being alone was laughable: I remember once looking out of my office window, pre-pandemic, and
not seeing a single person on the block. I recall it vividly because it seemed utterly apocalyptic—and it never
happened again.
Over the past nine months of the pandemic, our lives have moved increasingly indoors. We avoid the still-
crowded restaurants and city plazas.
Except on weekends. On a recent morning, we drove about 30 minutes to Los Dinamos, a vast, mountainous,
densely forested national park. A few minutes into our walk, my eyes followed the muddy, rocky path until it
turned a green corner in the distance. I listened to the sound of rushing water from the river below and the
twittering of birds hidden in the branches above. And then I realized with a shock: we're alone. In a city of millions
where a quiet night is often interrupted with sounds of tamale or sweet-potato vendors walking the streets with their
high-pitched whistles or recorded sales pitches, we had transported ourselves into another kingdom.
I often tell people what I miss most about pre-pandemic life is the buzz of the city. Yes, I miss the hustle and
bustle, but I'm not sure whether it's what I need right now. Now I need these walks on pine-needle-covered trails
with my young daughters；I need to breathe in truly fresh air；I need to trick my kids(and my husband) ahead
with promises of snacks and perfect picnic spots；I need to be with my family—even as I miss my parents,
siblings, and friends extremely—in the heart of a forest on the edge of a big city in the midst of a pandemic.
It's a reminder that there is life all around me, even if I can't spend time mixing with others.

A trip to the library was like a great journey to a different country. To get there, we had to walk a mile. But
our weekly journeys to the library were a piece of perfection. I had around me at one time all the people I loved
best-my father and mother and brothers and sister-and all the things I loved best-quiet, space, and books.
I read a lot of books about science: not the spaceships my brothers preferred, but the birds and bees-literally. I
brought home a book of birds and searched the trees for anything other than robins (知更鸟). I went through a
phase of loving books with practical science experiments and used up a whole bottle of white vinegar by pouring it
on the sides of our apartment building to prove that it was constructed of limestone (石灰石).
One Saturday, as I wandered through the young adult section, I saw a title: Little Women, by Lousia May
Alcott. I had learned from experience that titles weren’t everything. A book that sounded great on the shelf could be
dull once you got it home.
So I sat in a chair near the shelves to skim the first paragraphs. I read and read and read Little Women until it
was time to walk home, and, except for a few essential interruptions like sleeping and eating. I did not put it down
until the end. Even the freedom to watch weekend television held no appeal for me in the wake of Alcott’s story. It
was about girls, for one thing, girls who could almost be like me, especially Jo. I had found someone who thought
and felt the way I did.
24．What can we say about the author’s family?
A．They were travel fans. B．They were bookworms.
C．They were against watching TV D．They held seminars in the library.
25．What is Paragraph 2 mainly intended to convey?
A．Her different attitudes towards nature.
B．Her experiments of science.
C．Her reason of studying birds and bees.
D．Her reading craze at one time.26．What is the author’s belief in book reading?
A．Book titles might be misleading.
B．Science books are more interesting than arts books.
C．Repetitive reading is important.
D．All books need to be digested.
27．What effect did Little Women produce on the author?
A．She was totally transformed. B．It made her sleepless and tasteless.
C．She was heartbroken. D．It kept her absorbed.

of white vinegar by pouring it on the sides of our apartment building to prove that it was constructed of limestone.
(我读了很多关于科学的书：不是我兄弟们喜欢的宇宙飞船，而是鸟类和蜜蜂。我带了一本关于鸟类的书回
家，在树上搜寻知更鸟以外的任何东西。有一段时间，我喜欢读实用科学实验的书，我把一整瓶白醋倒在

妇人》，一直读到该走回家的时候，除了一些必要的干扰，比如睡觉和吃饭。直到最后我才把它放下。在
Alcott的故事之后，就连周末看电视的自由对我也没有吸引力了。)”可以推知，《小妇人》这部书使作者

Louise Mallard has heart trouble, so she must be informed carefully about her husband's death. Louise's
husband's friend, Richards, learned about a railroad disaster when he was in the newspaper office and saw Louise's
husband, Brently, on the list of those killed. Louise begins sobbing when Josephine, her sister, tells her of Brently's
death and goes upstairs to be alone in her room.
Louise sits down and looks out of an open window. She sees trees, smells approaching rain, and hears a
peddler yelling out what he's selling. She hears someone singing as well as the sounds of sparrows, and there are
white clouds in the sky. She is young, with lines around her eyes. Still crying, she gazes into the distance. She feels
sad and tries to hold down the building emotions within her, but can't. She begins repeating the word "Free" to
herself over and over again. Her heart beats quickly, and she feels very warm.
Louise knows she'll cry again when she sees Brently's body. His hands were tender, and he always looked at
her lovingly. But then she imagines the years ahead, which belong only to her now, and spreads her arms out
joyfully with anticipation. She will be free, on her own without anyone to oppress her. She thinks that all women
and men oppress one another even if they do it out of kindness. Louise knows that she often felt love for Brently
but tells herself that none of that matters anymore. She feels thrilled with her newfound sense of independence.
Josephine comes to her door, begging Louise to come out, warning her that she'll get sick if she doesn't.
Louise tells her to go away. She imagines all the days and years ahead and hopes that she lives a long life. Then she
opens the door, and she and Josephine start walking down the stairs, where Richards is waiting.
The front door unexpectedly opens, and Brently comes in. He hadn't been in the train accident or even aware
that one had happened. Josephine screams, and Richards tries unsuccessfully to block Louise from seeing him.
Doctors arrive and announce that Louise died of a heart attack brought on by happiness.4．How did Louise learn about Brently's death?
A．She saw it in the news. B．Richards informed her.
C．She found out through Josephine. D．The railroad company notified her.

but terrified.

感到轻松释怀，最后她接受了丈夫的死亡，甚至开始庆幸自己从此获得自由，却没有想到看到丈夫从门外
进来，结果Louise心脏病发而亡。

Brently's death and goes upstairs to be alone in her room. (当Louise的姐姐告诉她丈夫Brently的死讯时，她开
始哭泣然后上楼把自己一个人关在房间里)”可知，Louise是通过Josephine知道了丈夫的死讯。故选C。
5．推理判断题。根据第二段里面的“Still crying, she gazes into the distance. She feels sad and tries to
hold down the building emotions within her, but can't. (她一边哭泣一边凝视着远方她。她很难过，想试图控制
自己内心的情绪，但是没成功)”和第三段“She feels thrilled with her newfound sense of independence.(她对自
己新获得的独立感到兴奋)”可知，她感觉到悲伤，但是同时又轻松释怀。故选B。
6．词句猜测题。根据第三段“She will be free, on her own without anyone to oppress her.(她将会变得
自由，独立，没有人oppress 她)”可知，oppress 此处的意思为管控。故选C。7．推理判断题。根据第三段最后一句“She feels thrilled with her newfound sense of independence.(她对
自己新获得的独立感到兴奋)”以及最后一段第一句“The front door unexpectedly opens, and Brently comes in.

Jerilee Melo has been teaching preschool for four years. When COVID-19 shut down her school, she began to
wonder what her next Career move would be.
After several months, Melo decided to take a risk. She found a bus on Facebook Marketplace and purchased it
in hopes of setting up her own teaching space.
Melo renovated (翻新) the bus and in August began teaching her first preschoolers, many of them her
students in previous classrooms. To keep safe, Melo spread her class so that there were never more than five
children on the bus with masks on.
Melo doesn’t move the bus during lessons, but parks it at a certain location and allows it to serve as a mobile
classroom that utilizes the surroundings.
While her bus was renovated for teaching, Melo hadn’t been able to decorate it. In November she decided to
enter a contest with Brittany Jeltema, a former teacher who now hosts giveaways for classroom makeovers (重新布
置). Much to Melo’s surprise, Jeltema reached out telling her that she won.
“Jeri’s application stood out, because it was such an innovative approach to education,” Jeltema said.“Jeri
submitted pictures of her bus before the makeover, and my brain lit up with ideas. I knew I could help create an
engaging environment for her students.”
Over the course of a weekend, Jeltema and her team flew to Valencia, California, and transformed Melo’s
mobile classroom into a 70’s style bus.
With her bus, Melo hopes to inspire other teachers to get creative during these unprecedented times.
“A lot of teachers are scared right now, because they feel they need to be in a classroom to educate. And they
don’t,” Melo said. “I think teachers need to expand and go beyond the classroom, because what they have is
valuable.”
4．Why did Melo buy a bus?
A．To test a risky business. B．To build a market.
C．To expand her living space. D．To continue her career.5．How did Melo protect students and herself from COVID-19?
A．By driving the bus along. B．By reducing learning duration.
C．By reducing the class size. D．By teaching in remote surroundings.
6．How did Brittany Jeltema feel about Melo’s application?
A．Scared. B．Impressed. C．Surprised. D．Curious.
7．According to Melo, in what way can teachers stop feeling scared?
A．By following their dreams. B．By beautifying classrooms.
C．By thinking outside the box. D．By concentrating on students.
【答案】
4．D
5．C
6．B
7．C
【解析】这是一篇记叙文，讲述了Jerilee Melo把公交车改成教室，在新冠肺炎流行期间进行教学的
故事。
4．细节理解题。根据第二段中“She found a bus on Facebook Marketplace and purchased it in hopes of
setting up her own teaching space. (她在Facebook Marketplace上找到了一辆公交车，并买下了它，希望能建
立自己的教学空间。)”可知，她是为了继续教学事业才买的公交车。故选D项。
5．细节理解题。根据第三段中“To keep safe, Melo spread her class so that there were never more than
five children on the bus with masks on. (为了安全起见，Melo把她班级的学生分散开来，这样车上戴口罩的
孩子不会超过5个。)”可知，她通过把学生分开，减小班级规模，来保护自己和学生免受新冠病毒感染。
故选C项。
6．推理判断题。根据第六段中Jeltema所说“Jeri’s application stood out, because it was such an
innovative approach to education (Jeri的申请脱颖而出，因为这是一种非常创新的教育方法)”可以推知，
Brittany Jeltema对Melo的申请印象深刻。故选B项。
7．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“With her bus, Melo hopes to inspire other teachers to get creative
during these unprecedented times. (Melo希望通过她的公交车激励其他教师在这个前所未有的时代发挥创造
力。)”和最后一段中Melo所说“I think teachers need to expand and go beyond the classroom…(我认为教师需
要扩展业务，走出课堂……)”可以推知，Melo认为，老师们需要通过跳出固有的思维模式，打破常规才能
不再感到害怕。故选C项。
