【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.
【答案】32. C 33. D 34. A 35. A

【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 years 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 until1980-32 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 years, he always had a sense of curiosity, wondering what new role or
challenge might he just around the comer. 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.
21. 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.
22. What do we know about Nielsen 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.
23. 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.
答案与解析:21.C 细节理解题。根据第一段第二句“The admiration and respect his uncle earned inspired Nielsen to make a
career in acting”可知,尼尔森的叔叔所受到的赞赏和尊敬激励着尼尔森他想在表演上干出一番事业。由此可
知,尼尔森想成为一名演员是因为他有想成为像他叔叔一样的人的思想所致。故选C。
22.D 细节理解题。题干定位:根据题干中的 in the second half of his career可将本题题眼锁
定在第二段。根据第二段中的“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 ...”可知,尼尔森在其事业的后半段因为电影Airplane而
成为一名成功的喜剧演员。故选D项。
23.D 推理判断题。本文主要介绍了尼尔森受叔叔的影响在进入演艺圈,并且32年后因一部电影让其喜剧
天分发挥到极致而一举成名,从而实现了他想成为喜剧演员的梦想。由此可知,有志者事竟成。故选D。
【2021年6月浙江卷】
We live in a town with three beaches. There are two parks less than 10 minutes' walk from home where
neighbourhood children gather to play. However, what my children want to do after school is pick up a screen-any
screen -and stare at it for hours. They are not alone. Today's children spend an average of four and a half hours a day
looking at screens, split between watching television and using the Internet.
In the past few years, an increasing number of people and organisations have begun coming up with plans to
counter this trend. A couple of years ago, film-maker David Bond realised that his children, then aged five and three,
were attached to screens to the point where he was able to say "chocolate" into his three-year-old son's ear without
getting a response. He realised that something needed to change, and, being a London media type, appointed himself
"marketing director for Nature". He documented his journey as he set about treating nature as a brand to be marketed to
young people. The result was Project Wild Thing, a film which charts the birth of the Wild Network a group of
organisations with the common goal of getting children out into nature.
"Just five more minutes outdoors can make a difference," David Bond says. "There is a lot of really interesting
evidence which seems to be suggesting that if children are inspired up to the age of seven, then being outdoors will
be a habit for life." His own children have got into the habit of playing outside now: "We just send them out into the
garden and tell them not to come back in for a while."
Summer is upon us. There is an amazing world out there, and it needs our children as much as they need it. Let
us get them out and let them play.
24. What is the problem with the author's children?
A. They often annoy the neighbours. B. They are tired of doing their homework.C. They have no friends to play with D. They stay in front of screens for too long.
25. How did David Bond advocate his idea?
A. By making a documentary film. B. By organizing outdoor activities.
C. By advertising in London media. D. By creating a network of friends.
26. Which of the following can replace the underlined word "charts" in paragraph 2
A. records B. predicts C. delays D. confirms
27. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Let Children Have Fun B. Young Children Need More Free Tire
C. Market Nature to Children D. David Bond: A Role Model for Children
答案与解析:
24.D 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“what my children want to do after school is pick up a screen—any screen
—and stare at it for hours.”可知,作者的孩子们放学后想做的第一件事就是拿起一个屏幕---任何一个屏幕---
—盯着它看上几个小时。说明作者的孩子的问题是花在屏幕上的时间太多。故选D。
25.A 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“...being a London media type, appointed himself..., a film which charts the
birth of the wild Network, a group of organizations with the common goal of petting children out into nature”可知,
David是一个电影导演,利用媒体来向孩子们推销大自然,记录了自己的活动,并且拍成了一部电影
Project wild Thing,由此可知他是通过制作纪录片的形式来倡导自己的想法的。故选A。
26.A 词义猜测题。根据第二段划线词前面的句子“He documented his journey as he set about treating
nature a brand to be marketed to young people”可知其中的“documented”意为“记录”。因此,结合划线词后
面的“the birth of the Wild Network ”可知,他的纪录片记录了一个组织的诞生,顾“charts”意为“记录”,
故选A。
27.C 主旨大意题。作者通过回忆自己小时候在外面玩,以及现在自己的孩子花费在屏幕上时间太多,而
不再出去玩了,过渡并叙述了很多人们意识到了这个问题,并且以电影导演 David Bond为例,拍摄纪录片
倡导让孩子们到户外,到大自然中去等,因此C项符合题意。
【2021年全国甲卷】
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 continuouscrashing 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(横杆), 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.”
8. 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.
9. What do the underlined words “Safe! Safe! Safe!” probably mean?
A. Be careful! B. Well done! C. No way! D. Don't worry!
10. 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 more tricks. D. To relive his childhood days
11. What message does the author seem to convey in the text?
A. Children should learn a second language.
.
B Sport is necessary for children's health.
C. Children need a sense of belonging
D. Seeing the world is a must for children.
【答案】8. A 9. B 10. D 11. C
【解析】

【2021年新高考全国卷Ⅰ】
By day, Robert Titterton is a lawyer. In his spare 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 to50 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.”
24. 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.
25. Which of the following best describes Titterton’s job on stage?
A. Boring. B. Well-paid.
C. Demanding. D. Dangerous.
26. What does Titterton need to practise?
A. Counting the pages. B. Recognizing the “nodding”.
C. Catching falling objects. D. Performing in his own style.
27. Why is Ms Raspopova’s husband “the worse 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.
【答案】24. A 25. C 26. B 27. D
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了为钢琴演奏者做翻页工作的Robert Titterton和他的工作情况。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“I’m not a trained musician, but I’ve learnt to read music so I can help Maria in her
performance.(我不是受过训练的音乐家,但我学会了识谱,这样我就可以在Maria的表演中帮助她)”可知,
Titterton因为识谱,所以可以在Maria的钢琴表演中为她翻页。故选A项。
【25题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“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.(这项工作需要很多技能。你必须确保你不会一次翻两页并且必要的时候确保你回到前面找到音乐重复的部分)”可知,为
钢琴家翻页这项工作很需要技巧。由此推知,Titterton的工作要求是很高的。故选C项。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“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.(无声的舞台交流是关键,每个钢琴家
都有自己的“点头”风格来表示翻页,他们需要和翻页者进行练习)”可知,Titterton需要和钢琴演奏者练习
识别他们的“点头”示意来翻页。故选B项。
【27题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“He’s interested in the music, feeling every note, and I have to say: ‘Turn, turn!’(他
对音乐很感兴趣,感受着每一个音符,所以我不得不说:“翻页,翻页!”)”可知,Ms Raspopova的丈夫
因为对音乐感兴趣,所以帮她翻页的时候总是沉浸在音乐中而忘掉自己的工作,她不得不去提醒。故选 D
项。
【2021年1月浙江卷】
More than 25 years ago, Saroo Brierley lived in rural (农村) India. One day, he played with his brother along
the rail line and fell asleep. When he woke up and found himself alone, the 4-year-old decided his brother might be
on the train he saw in front of him — so he got on.
That train took him a thousand miles across the country to a totally strange city. He lived on the streets, and then
in an orphanage (孤儿院). There, he was adopted by an Australian family and flown to Tasmania.
As he writes in his new book, A Long Way Home, Brierley couldn’t help but wonder about his hometown back
in India. He remembered landmarks, but since he didn’t know his town’s name, finding a small neighborhood in a
vast country proved to be impossible.
Then he found a digital mapping program. He spent years searching for his hometown in the program’s satellite
pictures. In 2011, he came across something familiar. He studied it and realized he was looking at a town’s central
business district from a bird’s-eye view. He thought, “On the right-hand side you should see the three-platform train
station” — and there it was. “And on the left-hand side you should see a big fountain” — and there it was. Everything
just started to match.
When he stood in front of the house where he grew up as a child, he saw a lady standing in the entrance. “There’s
something about me,” he thought — and it took him a few seconds but he finally remembered what she used to look like.
In an interview Brierley says, “My mother looked so much shorter than I remembered. But she came forth andwalked forward, and I walked forward, and my feelings and tears and the chemical in my brain, you know, it was
like a nuclear fusion (核聚变). I just didn’t know what to say, because I never thought seeing my mother would ever
come true. And here I am, standing in front of her.”
21. Why was Brierley separated from his family about 25 years ago?
A. He got on a train by mistake.
B. He got lost while playing in the street.
C. He was taken away by a foreigner.
D. He was adopted by an Australian family.
22. How did Brierley find his hometown?
A. By analyzing old pictures.
B. By travelling all around India.
C. By studying digital maps.
D. By spreading his story via his book.
23. What does Brierley mainly talk about in the interview?
A. His love for his mother. B. His reunion with his mother.
C. His long way back home. D. His memory of his hometown.
答案与解析
21. A 事实细节题 根据第一段最后一句... the 4-year-old decided his brother might be on the train he saw in front
of him — so he got on.和第二段的第一句That train took him a thousand miles across the country to a totally strange
city.可知,主人公多年前和家人走散是因为误上了火车。

hometown in the program’s satellite pictures.和最后一句Everything just started to match.可知主人公是通过研究
数字地图找到家乡的。

公主要讲的是他和母亲的团聚。
【2020年全国卷Ⅱ】
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 everythingfrom 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.
32. Which word best describes the author’s relationship with books as a child?
A. Cooperative. B. Uneasy. C. Inseparable. D. Casual.
33. What does the underlined phrase “an added meaning” in paragraph 3 refer to?

【2020年新高考卷Ⅰ】
Jenifer Mauer has needed more willpower than the typical college student to pursue her goal of earning a nursingdegree. 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 received great
support from her family as she worked to car 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

【2020年新高考卷Ⅰ】
In the mid-1990s, Tom Bissell taught English as a volunteer in Uzbekistan. He left after seven months, physically
broken and having lost his mind. A few years later, still attracted to the country, he returned to Uzbekistan to write an
article about the disappearance of the Aral Sea.
His visit, however, ended up involving a lot more than that. Hence this book, Chasing the Sea: Lost Among the
Ghosts of Empire in Central Asia, which talks about a road trip from Tashkent to Karakalpakstan, where millions of
lives have been destroyed by the slow drying up of the sea. It is the story of an American travelling to a strange land,
and of the people he meets on his way: Rustam, his translator, a lovely 24-year-old who picked up his colorful English
in California, Oleg and Natasha, his hosts in Tashkent, and a string of foreign aid workers.
This is a quick look at life in Uzbekistan, made of friendliness and warmth, but also its darker side of society. In
Samarkand, Mr Bissell admires the architectural wonders, while on his way to Bukhara he gets a taste of police
methods when suspected of drug dealing. In Ferghana, he attends a mountain funeral(葬礼)followed by a strange
drinking party. And in Karakalpakstan, he is saddened by the dust storms, diseases and fishing boats stuck miles from
the sea.
Mr Bissell skillfully organizes historical insights and cultural references, making his tale a well-rounded picture
of Uzbekistan, seen from Western eyes. His judgment and references are decidedly American, as well as his
delicate stomach. As the author explains, this is neither a travel nor a history book, or even a piece of reportage.
Whatever it is, the result is a fine and vivid description of the purest of Central Asian traditions.
8. What made Mr Bissell return to Uzbekistan? ( )
A. His friends' invitation. B. His interest in the country.
C. His love for teaching. D. His desire to regain health.
9. What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 2 refer to? ( )
A. Developing a serious mental disease.
B. Taking a guided tour in Central Asia.
C. Working as a volunteer in Uzbekistan.
D. Writing an article about the Aral Sea.
10. Which of the following best describes Mr Bissell's road trip in Uzbekistan? ( )A. Romantic. B. Eventful. C. Pleasant. D. Dangerous.
11. What is the purpose of this text? ( )
A. To introduce a book. B. To explain a cultural phenomenon.
C. To remember a writer. D. To recommend a travel destination.
【答案】8. B 9. D 10. B 11. A
【解析】
本文是记叙文。文章讲述了Bissell写的《追逐大海:迷失在中亚帝国的幽灵》这本书。这本书是Bissell在
乌兹别克斯坦做志愿者后写的,是对乌兹别克斯坦人生活的一个快速观察。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段的”A few years later, still attracted to the country. he returned to Uzbekistan to write an
article about the disappearance of the Ara Sea”可知,几年后,Bissell仍然被这个国家所吸引。他回到乌兹别克
斯坦写了一篇关于咸海消失的文章。因此推断出对这个国家的兴趣让Bissell先生再次返回乌兹别克斯坦。
故选B。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。划线句是第二段首句,that用来指代上文提的事情,因此推断that指代第一段的内容,根据
第一段最后一句”A few years later, still attracted to the country, he returned to Uzbekistan to write an article about
the disappearance of the Aral Sea(几年后,仍然被这个国家所吸引。他回到乌兹别克斯坦写了一篇关于咸海消
失的文章)”可知,that指代写了一篇关于死海消失的文章这件事,故选D。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段”This is a quick look at life in Uzbekistan, made of friendliness and warmth, but also its
darker side of society. In Samarkand, Mr Bissell admires the architectural wonders, while on his way to Bukhara he
gets a taste of police methods when suspected of drug dealing. In Ferghana, he attends a mountain funeral(葬礼)followed
by a strange drinking party. And in Karakalpakstan, he is saddened by the dust storms, diseases and fishing boats
stuck miles from the sea.”可知,在乌兹别克斯坦的旅途中,Mr Bissell既体会到了友善和温暖,也看到了社
会的黑暗面。在撒马尔罕,Mr Bissell欣赏到了的建筑奇观。在前往布哈拉的路上,他因为被怀疑进行毒品
交易,他尝到了警察的伎俩。在费尔干纳,他参加了一个山区葬礼,然后参加了一个奇怪的酒会。在卡拉
卡尔帕克斯坦,他为沙尘暴、疾病和被困在数英里外的渔船而难过。由此可知,在旅途中,他经历了很多
事情。结合选项,B选项(充满事件的,多事的)可以表达此意。故选B。
【11题详解】推理判断题。文章第一段提到书的作者的乌兹别克斯坦之行,引出他写的书,接下来三段讲述了他的书
《追逐大海:迷失在中亚帝国的幽灵》的故事内容,是乌兹别克斯坦生活的一个快速观察。因此推断本文的
写作目的是介绍一本书。故选A。
【2020年1月浙江卷】
I never knew anyone who’d grown up in Jackson without being afraid of Mrs. Calloway, our librarian. She ran
Jackson’s Carnegie Library absolutely by herself. SILENCE in big black letters was on signs hung everywhere. If
she thought you were dressed improperly, she sent you straight back home to change your clothes. I was willing; I
would do anything to read.
My mother was not afraid of Mrs. Calloway. She wished me to have my own library card to check out books for
myself. She took me in to introduce me. “Eudora is nine years old and has my permission to read any book she wants
from the shelves, children or adults,” Mother said.
Mrs. Calloway made her own rules about books. You could not take back a book to the library on the same day
you’d taken it out; it made no difference to her that you’d read every word in it and needed another to start. You could
take out two books at a time and two only. So two by two, I read library books as fast as I could go, rushing them
home in the basket of my bicycle. From the minute I reached our house, I started to read. I knew this was extreme
happiness, knew it at the time.
My mother shared this feeling of mine. Now, I think of her as reading so much of the time while doing
something else. I remember her reading a magazine while taking the part of the Wolf in a game of “Little Red Riding
Hood” with my brother’s two daughters. She’d just look up at the right time, long enough to answer — in character
— “The better to eat you with, my dear,” and go back to her place in the magazine article.
21. Which of the following best describes Mrs. Calloway?
A. Quiet. B. Strict. C. Humorous. D. Considerate.
22. What do the underlined words “this feeling” refer to in the last paragraph?
A. Desire to read. B. Love for Mrs. Calloway.
C. Interest in games. D. Fear of the library rules.
23. Where is the text probably from?
A. A guidebook. B. An autobiography.
C. A news report. D. A book review.
答案与解析21. B 推理判断题 根据第一段中的If she thought you were dressed improperly, she sent you straight back home
to change your clothes. 可知Mrs. Calloway对衣着严格要求以及第三段中她对图书借阅严格规定可知,
Mrs. Calloway是一位严格的图书管理员。
22. A 推理判断题 根据第三段最后I read library books as fast as I could go, rushing them home … I knew this
was extreme happiness, knew it at the time. 可知,作者那时候如饥似渴地阅读;根据本段 Now, I think of
her as reading so much …,可知作者的母亲也很渴望阅读。
23. B推理判断题 通读全文可知,作者是在回忆自己童年时代的阅读经历,最可能出自自传。
【2020年北京卷】
For the past five years, Paula Smith, a historian of science, has devoted herself to re-creating long-forgotten
techniques. While doing research for her new book, she came across a 16th-century French manuscript(手稿)
consisting of nearly 1,000 sets of instructions, covering subjects from tool making to finding the best sand.
The author's intention remains as mysterious(神秘)as his name; he may have been simply taking notes for
his own records. But Smith was struck mainly by the fact that she didn't truly grasp any of the skills the author
described. "You simply can't get an understanding of that handwork by reading about it," she says.
Though Smith did get her hands on the best sand, doing things the old-fashioned way isn't just about playing
around with French mud. Reconstructing the work of the craftsmen(工匠)who lived centuries ago can reveal how
they viewed the world, what objects filled their homes, and what went on in the workshops that produced them. It
can even help solve present-day problems: In 2015, scientists discovered that a 10th-century English medicine for
eve problems could kill a drug-resistant virus.
The work has also brought insights for museums, Smith says. One must know how on object was made in order
to preserve it. What's more, reconstructions might be the only way to know what treasures looked like before time
wore them down. Scholars have seen this idea in practice with ancient Greek and Roman statues. These sculptures
were painted a rainbow of striking colours. We can't appreciate these kinds of details without seeing works of art as
they originally appeared-something Smith believes you can do only when you have a road map.
Smith has put the manuscript's ideas into practice. Her final goal is to link the worlds of art and science back
together: She believes that bringing the old recipes to life can help develop a kind of learning that highlights
experimentation, teamwork, and problem solving.
Back when science—then called “the new philosophy”—took shape, academics looked to craftsmen for help inunderstanding the natural world. Microscopes and telescopes were invented by way of artistic tinkering(修补), as
craftsmen experimented with glass to better bend light.
If we can rediscover the values of hands-on experience and craftwork, Smith says, we can marry the best of our
modern insights with the handiness of our ancestors.
38. How did Smith, feel after reading the French manuscript? ( )
A. Confused about the technical terms.
B. Impressed with its detailed instructions.
C. Discouraged by its complex structure.
D. Shocked for her own lack of hand skills.
39. According to Smith, the reconstruction work is done mainly to _____________. ( )
A. restore old workshops B. understand the craftsmen
C. improve visual effects D. inspire the philosophers
40. Why does the author mention museums? ( )
A. To reveal the beauty of ancient objects.
B. To present the findings of old science.
C. To highlight the importance of antiques.
D. To emphasise the values of hand skills.
41. Which would be the best title for this passage? ( )
A. Craftsmen Set the Trends for Artists
B. Craftsmanship Leads to New Theories
C. Craftsmanship Makes Better Scientists
D. Craftsmen Reshape the Future of Science
本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述科学家Paula Smith致力于对古代手工技能的研究,认为科学家如果能够把古
代的手工技能和现代的科学方法结合起来,就能够创造更大成就。
【38题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“But Smith was struck mainly by the fact that she didn't truly grasp any of the skills
the author described. "You simply can't get an understanding of that handwork by reading about it," she says.” 让
史密斯震惊的主要是,她并没有真正掌握作者所描述的任何技能。她说:“你根本无法通过阅读来了解这些
手工作品。” 由此可知读完这份法国手稿,这种手工技能让史密斯感到震惊,故选D。【39题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Reconstructing the work of the craftsmen(工匠)who lived centuries ago can
reveal how they viewed the world, what objects filled their homes, ” 重建几个世纪前工匠的作品,可以揭示他
们如何看待世界,他们的家里有什么物件。由此可知,重建工作主要是为了了解工匠。故选B。
【40题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第四段“The work has also brought insights for museums, Smith says. One must know how
on object was made in order to preserve it. What's more, reconstructions might be the only way to know what treasures
looked like before time wore them down.” 史密斯说,这项工作也给博物馆带来了深刻的见解。为了保存它,
一个人必须知道一件物品是如何制成的。更重要的是,重建可能是唯一的方法,以了解宝藏磨损之前的样
子。因此可知,博物馆要想很好保存物品,必须要知道这件物品是如何制成的,也是在强调手工技能的价
值,故选D。
【41题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段“If we can rediscover the values of hands-on experience and craftwork, Smith
says, we can marry the best of our modern insights with the handiness of our ancestors. ”史密斯说,如果我们能
重新发现实践经验和工艺的价值,我们就能将现代的最好见解与我们祖先的灵巧结合起来。由此可知本文
的中心思想就在于如果科学家能把古代的手工技巧同现代的理论结合起来,就能够获得更多的成就。C选
项Craftsmanship Makes Better Scientists工艺造就了更好的科学家,符合文章主题,适合做标题,故选C。
Passage 1(2022·湖南·周南中学模拟预测)
It was the festive season. Mom had baked some delicious cookies. Jam tarts were always my favorite and I had
enjoyed myself to excess. Moreover, the refrigerator was well-stocked with chocolates and ice-cream so I helped
myself to all the goodies. That night I woke up with an unbearable toothache. No amount of aspirin could stop the
pain.
When morning arrived, I had to do the unavoidable - make an appointment with the dentist. My dental
appointment was at 2 pm that afternoon, which was just another four hours away. The thought was enough to kill
my interest in everything else. I had butterflies in my stomach. I arrived at the dental clinic an hour before the
appointment.
After registering, I walked unenthusiastically towards a chair. I did not even bother to look at the otherpatients. Picking up a few magazines, I tried to read to get rid of my fear and pain, but I could not concentrate. All I
was aware of was a terrible pain. The sight of patients coming out from the treatment room, with large pieces of
gauze sticking out from their mouths, only seemed to worsen my pain.
One of my New Year resolutions was made while I was shifting restlessly in my seat. I vowed never to taste
another jam tart or take a chunky bite of chocolate in the future.
When my name was finally called, I staggered into the treatment room. I heard the dentist greeting me, but I
could not bring myself to respond to his greeting. The sight of the drilling equipment and the hypodermic syringes
(皮下注射器) only increased my feelings of sickness. When the dentist asked me to take my seat and then open my
mouth, I felt my heart pounding very fast. I was sure that I was going to get a heart attack.
The dentist informed me that it was best to extract the tooth. I nodded and opened my mouth and tried to think
of other things. The next minute or so was one of the most terrifying moments of my life. I grabbed the dentist’s
hands more than once. At first, he was quite taken aback and eyed me suspiciously. Then he warned me that he
would have my hands tied if I were to repeat my antics. I did not think that he was joking!
Soon the pain gave way to a soothing sensation. When the dentist told me that the pain was all over, I could
hardly believe my ears. After paying for the extraction, I walked out of the clinic confidently and headed for the
nearest bus stop. I swore that this would be the first and the last time I stepped into a dental clinic.
1.What might be the reason for my not feeling well that night?
A.Too much fun during the day. B.An upset stomach.
C.Unrestrained eating of goodies. D.Overuse of aspirin.
2.What did I do to distract me from the toothache before I met the dentist?
A.Making an appointment with the dentist. B.Trying to read some magazines.
C.Observing other patients. D.Making my New Year wishes.
3.Which of the following is the closest in meaning to the underline word in the sixth paragraph?
A.rude behavior B.natural behavior
C.dangerous behavior D.interesting behavior
4.What lesson might the author have learned from this experience?
A.After a storm comes a calm. B.Diet cures more than doctors.
C.Fear is often greater than the danger. D.A fall into the pit, a gain in your wit.

me that he would have my hands tied if I were to repeat my antics. (然后他警告我说,如果我再重复我的
antics,他会把我的手绑起来。)”可以推知,划线词汇antics 应为“危险举止”的意思。故选C项。

Passage 2(2022·天津·二模)
My husband is more a kid at heart than I am, so he says we need to find souvenirs for the grandkids while on a
trip to Savannah.
I can be a kid at heart, too, but I also can be a mathematician — and even cheap, ugly souvenirs add up
quickly when you have 11 grandkids.
Children are of one mind on the subject — they like souvenirs and they want them. So we are digging through
piles of (成堆的) cheap key fobs (钥匙链), plastic sun hats, chocolate treats that will melt in the heat, and
ridiculous T-shirts, finding nothing.
We go with two hats for the boys but are still empty-handed for the nine girls. Then I spot small bracelets (手链) in a rainbow of colors.
“What about these? ” I ask the husband.
He turns one over a couple of times and says, “Nice.”
The bracelets are made of small beads (珠子) shaped like starfish and turtles. They all look like rock candy,
which can be eaten and was a popular souvenir when we were kids. We buy nine and make a mental note: tell the
girls not to eat them.
As the clerk rings up the bracelets, I remember a souvenir I had as a girl. We had gone to the east coast and
could choose one thing in a shop to remember our trip by. My sister and I chose what we liked. Mine was a blue
plastic soapbox with the lid (盖子) covered in silver glitter (小闪光物) and topped with a pink flamingo (火烈鸟).
It was cheap and tacky (俗气的) and I believed it was the loveliest thing a girl could own. It was too beautiful to
put soap inside, so it sat in a dresser drawer year after year, slowly aging, yellowing, the glitter fling off. But it is
still a reminder of a family trip long ago.
The girls are married and have families of their own, and those souvenirs are still in the dresser drawers in
their old bedrooms.
I have been won over to the idea that even cheap and tacky souvenirs may have worth and value. Tiny trinkets
(小饰品) say I was thinking of you even though we were apart. That’s always a good investment (投资).
5.What did the author think about his husband, when he wanted to buy souvenirs?
A.He wanted to remember the trip. B.He missed their grandkids.
C.He wanted to share the joy. D.He was a little childish.
6.Why did the author say she was a mathematician?
A.Because she found it expensive to buy 11 souvenirs.
B.Because she was good at choosing souvenirs for kids.
C.Because she ever studied mathematics in university.
D.Because their family was not rich enough to buy souvenirs.
7.What souvenirs did they buy for the grandkids?
A.Some cheap and ordinary souvenirs. B.Some small bracelets made of beads.
C.Some rock candy which can be eate D.A blue plastic soapbox with a beautiful lid.
8.What did the souvenirs for the girls remind the author of?
A.A trip she ever had with her family.
B.A blue plastic soapbox bought by her mother.
C.A cheap but the loveliest souvenir she ever had.D.A trip when she met her husband and fell in love.
9.What did the author think of the souvenir?
A.Even cheap and small souvenirs can be reminders of our family trip.
B.Children are all crazy about buying and collecting souvenirs.
C.Collecting souvenirs may bring in a big sum of money.
D.Buying souvenirs can help you be a kid forever.

品也有价值。

Passage 3(2022·上海·复旦附中模拟预测)
In 2004, Pen Hadow became the first person to trek (跋涉) to the North Pole alone, without being resupplied
on the way. That meant swimming through unimaginably cold waters, and risking encounters with polar bears. Just
eight months later, he made a similar trip to the South Pole. Now he is back in the Arctic again, preparing for an
expedition (远征) he says is even more ambitious. Explorers are confident, driven individuals. They have to be.
This time, however, more significance is attached. Pen and two colleagues will set out on a three-month, 1000-
kilometre trek to the North Pole, taking detailed measurements of the thickness and density of the ice. Nobody has
ever done this before, and he knows the results will be of vital significance to the scientific community. This will be
the truest picture yet of what global warming is doing to the ice that covers the polar region.
Pen and his wife, Mary, live in the country with their two children. “It’s much harder to be away from them
this time,” he admits. They were one and five when I last went, and I made a mistake in the way I said goodbye. I
thought it would be a good idea to say to my son, “You’re the man of the house now, look after your mum and your
sister.” He absolutely took it to heart, asking his mum how she was all the time, but the stress eventually became
too much. While it was well intentioned, it was an unfair thing to do.
He is spending these last days before departure preparing his things. “Out on the ice, one is virtually unable to
mend things or do anything that isn’t absolutely straightforward,” he says. With him will be Ann Daniels, one of the
world’s leading polar explorers, and the photographer, Martin Hartley. They will be supported by a crew of six,
flying in supplies. Being part of a team is actually more stressful to someone with his mentality, says Pen, and
something else is on his mind too. “I’m going to be 47 on Thursday. I’ve done far less training than I’m
comfortable with.” Why? “Organisational things always seem more urgent. So I’m almost fearful of what I’m going
to ask of myself.”Pen believes his mission reconnects exploration with the search for knowledge that drove previous generations
into the unknown. “Making it to the North Pole was a personal ambition,’”he admits, “and of limited value to
anyone beyond the polar adventuring community. This time, scientists will profit from the data, and we’re creating
a platform in which to engage as many people as possible in what’s happening in the Arctic Ocean. This is
important work, and nobody can do it but us,” he says. “Our skills, which are otherwise not that necessary, have
become really relevant. Suddenly, we’re socially useful again.”
10.In the first paragraph, what do we learn about Pen Hadow’s opinion of the new expedition?
A.He feels certain that it will be stressful.
B.He is aware of the huge importance of its aims.
C.He thinks it may be harder than his previous journeys.
D.He is less than confident of the scientific work it involves.
11.What does “took it to heart” (in paragraph 2) mean?
A.He started to feel unwell. B.He memorised his father’s words.
C.He was afraid of the responsibility. D.He carried out his father’s words carefully.
12.What is worrying Pen about the new expedition?
A.Whether he will be mentally prepared
B.Whether he will still be fit enough to take part.
C.Whether the arrangements he has made will turn out well.
D.Whether the equipment will work properly in icy conditions.
13.When he compares the new expedition to his previous ones, Pen feels ________.
A.uncertain if it will collect information.
B.doubtful about its long-term usefulness
C.pleased that more people will benefit from it
D.relieved that the general public will be more supportive
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Pen Hadow即将进行的北极探险,这次探险极具意义,因为
他将把探险与探索知识联系起来。
10.【答案】B
【解析】推理判断题。根据第一段“This time, however, more significance is attached. Pen and two colleagues
will set out on a three-month, 1000-kilometre trek to the North Pole, taking detailed measurements of the thickness
and density of the ice. Nobody has ever done this before, and he knows the results will be of vital significance to
the scientific community. (然而,这一次的意义更为重大。Pen Hadow和两名同事将开始为期三个月、1000公里的北极跋涉,对冰层的厚度和密度进行详细的测量。以前从来没有人这样做过,他知道这些结果将对
科学界具有至关重要的意义。)”可推断,他深知这次探险意义更为重大。故选B。
11.【答案】D
【解析】词句猜测题。根据上文“I thought it would be a good idea to say to my son, “You’re the man of the
house now, look after your mum and your sister.”(我认为对我儿子说:“你现在是家里的男人了,照顾你的妈妈
和妹妹。”是个好主意)”可知,Pen Hadow让儿子照顾自己的妈妈和妹妹。再根据下文“asking his mum
how she was all the time(一直问他妈妈感觉怎样)”可知,他的儿子认真地执行父亲的话。所以took it to heart
为“他认真地执行他父亲的话。”之意。故选D。
12.【答案】B
【解析】推理判断题。根据第三段第五句开始“Being part of a team is actually more stressful to someone with
his mentality, says Pen, and something else is on his mind too. ‘I’m going to be 47 on Thursday. I’ve done far less
training than I’m comfortable with.’ Why? ‘Organisational things always seem more urgent. So I’m almost fearful
of what I’m going to ask of myself.’(Pen说,作为团队的一员,对于那些心理状态良好的人来说,压力其实
更大,而且他还在考虑其他事情。“到周四我就47岁了。我所做的训练远远少于我所能接受的。“为什么?
“有组织的事情似乎总是更紧急。所以我几乎害怕我要问自己的问题。”)”可推断,他担心自己不能胜任此
次探险。故选B。
13.【答案】C
【解析】细节理解题。根据最后一段第二句“‘Making it to the North Pole was a personal ambition,’ he
admits, ‘and of limited value to anyone beyond the polar adventuring community. This time, scientists will profit
from the data, and we’re creating a platform in which to engage as many people as possible in what’s happening in
the Arctic Ocean. This is important work, and nobody can do it but us,’ he says.(他承认:“成功到达北极是个人
的雄心壮志,对极地探险团体以外的任何人来说都没有多大价值。”这一次,科学家们将从数据中获益,
我们正在创建一个平台,让尽可能多的人参与到北冰洋发生的事情中来。这是一项重要的工作,除了我们
没人能做。)”可知,他觉得这次探险将会使得更多的人从他们的工作中获益。故选C。
Passage 4(2022·北京通州·模拟预测)
My home is in Demonton near a river valley. It is a beautiful area that has been made into a park with meters
of hiking trails (小路) along the river.
One day I discovered a trail I had never seen before. It was extremely steep and very slippery as it was covered
with ice. I was alone at the time and even though I was terrified, I still wanted to go for a walk. Just this thought
made my heart beat faster. I shook, not from the cold, although it was probably around -15℃, but from the fear. Iknew I had to do it.
I moved forward slowly and put one foot on the trail, then the other. Thus I continued, one foot in front of the
other I went very slowly down the trail, shaking with every step. I was sweating despite my cold. I had no idea how
long it would take me to travel along the trail, but I didn’t care. I just wanted to conquer my fear.
At last, I succeeded! At least that’s how I felt. I nearly ran down the trail. Well, not exactly ran, but it felt like
that compare with my extremely slow speed in the beginning.
Maybe you don’t think this is much of a story, but I just want to tell you that we never know what’s around the
corner. If you compare this story to life, you’ll see that we have no idea where life is going to take us, or how many

Passage 5(2022·山东·德州市教育科学研究院三模)
One year before, at age 18, Leszyeski had aged out of foster care(寄养中心), having been in the system since
she was four when her single mother was no longer able to care for her. Leszyeski was now enrolled in college
hoping to become a doctor. And the only furniture she had in her apartment was an air mattress with a hole in it.
Then she learned about an organization Chairity. The organization provides furniture and household goods for
young adults who have left foster care. Leszyeski reached out to Charity, a nonprofit formed by 23-year-old Maria
Paparella.
Paparella first became aware of foster care in elementary school when her parents were considering adopting a
child. The plan didn't work out, but Paparella often found herself thinking about that child. “I'm really close withmy family, and I just couldn't imagine being completely on my own at 18,” she says.
At 16, Paparella visited Summit County Children Services, with a list of questions, trying to understand what
aging out looked like. One of her questions was “What's not being met for these young people?” Near the top of the
list was furniture. “That struck home,” says Paparella. The idea of “moving into an apartment without a bed to sleep
on or a sofa to sit on” pulled at her heartstrings.
Paparella contacted her parents' friends, asking if they had spare furniture to donate. A local furniture store
offered free ware-house space and its delivery truck. Watching the recipients' faces when they received a bed, a
couch—whatever—was amazing. Paparella remembers delivering a gold lamp to a woman and watching her polish
it lovingly, getting rid of dirt and fingerprints.
Today, Chairity has given furniture to nearly 200 young adults in homes across six Ohio counties. Paparella is
convinced these contributions give the recipients hope and confidence. Leszyeski agrees.“It makes me feel like I'm
not different from other people. My whole life, I've felt abnormal,”she says,“Now, I feel normal.”
18.Which can best describe Leszyeski's life after leaving foster care?
A.Tough but hopeful. B.Poor and aimless.
C.Wealthy but boring. D.Independent and carefree.
19.Why did Paparella found Chairity?
A.To get some financial benefits from it. B.To help those aging out of foster care.
C.To aid the needy couple adopt a child. D.To ask people to donate some couches.
20.When was Paparella most touched at the age of 16?
A.Living without parents. B.Moving into a new house.
C.Getting free truck delivery. D.Visiting a foster care center.
21.What does Leszyeski think of Chairity?
A.It changes young adults' whole life. B.It brings confidence to the recipients.
C.It has helped lots of homeless people. D.It makes people different from others.
【导语】本文为一篇记叙文。讲述的是女孩 Leszyeski收到来自由一名23岁女孩Maria Paparella创建的慈
善组织Chairity帮助的故事。通过该非营利性机构通过帮助一些生活在寄养中心的孩子们,让他们找到了
人生的希望和自信。
18.【答案】A
【解析】细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句“And the only furniture she had in her apartment was an air
mattress with a hole in it.”(她公寓里唯一的家具就是一个有洞的充气床垫。)可知,家里唯一的家具也是破损的,可知生活过的尤其艰难。同时根据后文的“Then she learned about an organization Charity. The
organization provides furniture and household goods for young adults who have left foster care. ”(然后她了解到一
个组织Charity。该组织为离开寄养家庭的年轻人提供家具和家庭用品。)可知,尽管她生活困苦,但是得
知有一个慈善组织能为他们这样的年轻人提供家具和家庭用品,所以是充满希望的。故选A。

【解析】细节理解题。根据第二段中“The organization provides furniture and household goods for young
adults who have left foster care. ”(该组织为离开寄养家庭的年轻人提供家具和家庭用品。)可知,该组织是是

20.【答案】D
【解析】细节理解题。根据第四段中“At 16, Paparella visited Summit County Children Services, with a list of
questions, trying to understand what aging out looked like”(16岁时,帕帕雷拉带着一系列问题来到顶峰县儿童
服务中心,试图了解衰老是什么样子的),以及“pulled at her heartstrings.”(牵动着她的心弦)可知,16岁时
最让她感动的是:参观寄养中心。故选D。
21.【答案】B
【解析】推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Paparella is convinced these contributions give the recipients hope and
confidence. Leszyeski agrees.”(帕帕雷拉相信,这些捐赠给了接受者希望和信心。Leszyeski表示同意。)以及
“It makes me feel like I'm not different from other people. My whole life, I've felt abnormal, Now, I feel
normal.”(这让我觉得我和其他人没有什么不同。我之前觉得不正常的生活,现在已经感觉正常了。)可知,
Leszyeski 认为这个组织给她带来了信心和希望。故选B。
Passage 6(2022·江苏省泰州市教育局模拟预测)
Mitchel Wu creates interesting stories using toy photography, a relatively new art form. He’s taken photos for
an impressive list of clients, including Disney, Marvel, Hot Wheels, and Hasbro. There’s no limit to creativity, and
Mitchel proves it through his unique work, providing a one-of-a-kind experience for clients worldwide.
While toy photography dates back to the 1800s, it didn’t gain popularity until the 1970s. Around this time, a
man by the name of David Levinthal became the father of miniature(微型画)photography.
Over time, it evolved into a global phenomenon mostly involving action figures and pop culture imagery. It’s a
diverse art form containing many themes and story ideas. Many artists draw inspiration from popular sources such
as Disney movies, Star Wars, and Pokemon characters. With toy photography, the viewers, completely immersed
in the story, feel like they’re actually there, in a different land.
“For me, toy photography is really all about storytelling,” Mitchel says. “Storytelling is what makes an imageimpactful, so my goal is to have my image just stop you in your tracks and make you think ‘Wow, what’s going on
here?’”
Mitchel was a wedding photographer in the beginning. In 2015, he realized that he needed to find something
else. Right around the same time, his nephew who photographed toys as a hobby said, “Uncle Mitch, why don’t
you bring your camera and shoot some toys?”
Once he tried it out, he got hooked immediately. His nephew lent him a couple of Stormtrooper action figures,
and from the very first click of the shutter(快门), he found it was something incredible.
What began as a hobby quickly became a new-found career for Mitchel. It’s yet another story that motivates us
to pursue our dreams because you never know where they’ll take you.
It seems the only limits are the ones you create for yourself. Mitchel tries to keep breaking those limits and
learn new techniques in his exciting career path. His story shows that you can create your path in life by following
your heart and using your imagination.
22.Which of the following is true according to the first three paragraphs?
A.David Levinthal founded toy photography.
B.Toy photography is by all means a new art form.
C.Mitchel helps promote toy photography around the world.
D.Toy photography was widely recognized more than 200 years ago.
23.What does the underlined word “immersed” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A.Involved. B.Applied. C.Located. D.Stuck.
24.What does toy photography mean to Mitchel?
A.It brings him a great fortune.
B.It only serves to limit his creativity.
C.It is a way of telling his own stories.
D.It enables him to follow his new passion.
25.What message does Mitchel’s story convey?
A.Great hopes make great men.
B.Nothing is impossible to a willing heart.
C.The longest journey begins with the first step.
D.Behind one minute on stage is ten years of practice.

Passage 7 (2022·福建省福州第一中学三模)
It was a cold Saturday night in February. Some 200 New Yorkers carefully made their way to the reservoir (水
库) in the hopes of catching a glimpse of the magical snowy owl, who had touched down in the park the week
before in what was reported as the first visit there by the species in more than 130 years.
Except for a few excited screams from children, people were quiet—patiently awaiting the owl’s arrival at the
reservoir’s north gatehouse. The snowy owl did not disappoint. She flew down from the darkness and surveyed the
water and the people holding phones and cameras before taking off into the night to the applause of her many fans.
They simply wanted to see this lovely creature whose improbable appearance seemed to signify hope after thelockdown
New Yorkers who had long taken Central Park for granted felt a renewed love for this rectangle of green in the
heart of the big city and, of course, its amazing wildlife. That the park is a beautiful and essential refuge is
something that humans have only come to fully appreciate during these recent times of uncertainty.
Central Park was originally planned and constructed during another difficult time in the nation’s history—in
the years before and during the American Civil War. Unlike many European parks that had originally been built for
the aristocracy (贵族), Central Park was designed as a public space. In its chief architect Frederick Law Olmsted’s
words, the poor and rich alike could “easily go there after their day’s work is done” and “stroll for an hour, seeing,
hearing, and feeling nothing of the noise of the streets.”
As spring turns into summer, we see people sitting on the grass or benches—catching some sun, having family
picnics, or tapping away on their laptops and iPads. Just being in proximity to other people in Central Park gave us
a sense of community—the sense that we would somehow persevere.
26.What did people do in Central Park on that Saturday night?
A.They cheered for each other B.They paid their first visit
C.They came for a rare sight D.They appreciated a water event
27.What does the author mainly intend to do in Paragraph 4?
A.Give some examples. B.Make a comparison
C.Introduce a new opinion. D.Add background information
28.What do the underlined words “in proximity to” in Paragraph 5 mean?
A.close to B.free from
C.at a distance from D in comparison with
29.Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A.Find Refuge in Central Park
B.Take Your Breath by Snow Owl
C.Trace Central Park to difficult times
D.Meet an improbable “visitor” in person
【导语】文章是记叙文。开篇以200名纽约人在水库观赏神奇雪鸮为开头,引出文章的主题中央公园。揭

Passage 8(2022·河北唐山·三模)
From the age of 6, Samirah Horton was bullied (欺凌) by her classmates for the things that made her different
— her size and her sharp voice. Rather than giving up, Horton decided to pick up a microphone and make sure
other children knew they weren’t alone. “I didn’t want other kids to go through that experience,” says Horton,
“especially at a very young age.” Now, alongside attending eighth grade classes, she’s also building an anti-
bullying platform to reach students across the country.
For as long as Horton remembers, she's felt a special connection to music. She remembers her mother always
having the radio on, and her father teaching her how to deejay (主持) . Music gives her unlimited power to do theduty. “It’s music that fuels my mission, allowing me to spread this important message,”she says. Now as the Kid
DJ for her hometown team, you can hear anything from the hip-hop classics to songs of her own, including the anti-
bullying song “No You Won’t Bully Me”.
Her message has reached beyond the DJ set. At 8. Horton turned one of her songs into a 26-page picture book,
which has reached thousands of people across America. In the book, she references the over 160,000 students who

Passage 9(2022·福建厦门·模拟预测)
“You need a guide,” says Mike May, 68, who was blinded at the age of 3. May started skiing at 27, on a
beginner track, holding onto a guide’s poles — in what he calls “horse and buggy style.” Within days, he was
unattached and following his guide’s voice down the hill. “It was extremely liberating.” says May, who went on to
win multiple medals in the world competitions now known as the Paralympics, and hit 65 miles per hour to set the
world record for speed skiing by a completely blind skier.
May suggests using only guides who lead rather than follow you. You want a skilled skier with a loud voice.
Once on the track, keep 4 to 15 feet between you and your guide. A good guide will use rhythm to indicate spatial
directions; a long turn might sound like “Tuuuuurn left. Gooo, gooo.” Listen for other noises too: A blip (哔哔声)in you guide’s voice might mean a bump ahead; if their skis start scraping (刮擦), prepare for ice; sudden quiet
indicates powder.
Always wear a brightly colored vest that identifies you as a blind skier clearly. Still, don’t assume others will
take in its meaning; May thinks that fewer than 50 percent do. The biggest barrier for blind skiers is often
transportation to the mountain. In college, May sometimes hitchhiked (搭便车) to the Sierra Nevads, hours away.
He doesn’t recommend it. “Hitch-hiking with a seeing-eye dog and your ski equipment is not a simple task,” he
says.
Ski lifts can be tricky, but you can always ask the operator to slow the lift down if you feel nervous. At the top
of the run, ask your guide to give you a play-by-play so you know what’s coming. “I always like to take the same
run over and over again,” May says. “That way I get a mental picture and can start to relax and really open up to the
experience.”
34.What do we know about Mike May from paragraph 1?
A.He trained alone. B.He was born blind.
C.He fell in love with horse riding. D.He broke world record.
35.What kind of sound might indicate an icy track?
A.The sound of sudden silence. B.The sound of scraping.
C.A blip in the guide’s voice. D.A dragging sound like “gooo”.
36.What troubles blind skiers most according to May?
A.The colorful dressing.
B.The ignorance of others.
C.The identification of blind skiers.
D.The transportation to the skiing spot.
37.What can we learn from May’s story?
A.Out of sight, out of mind.
B.Storms make trees take deeper roots.
C.An honest man’s word is as good as his bond.
D.From the father comes honour, from the mother, comfort.
