【2021年全国甲卷阅读理解B篇】
Port Lympne Reserve, which runs a breeding (繁育) programme, has welcomed the arrival of a rare black rhino
calf (犀牛幼崽). When the tiny creature arrived on January 31, she became the 40th black rhino to be born at the
reserve. And officials at Port Lympne were delighted with the new arrival, especially as black rhinos are known for
being difficult to breed in captivity (圈养).
The adorable female calf is the second black rhino born this year at the reserve, but it is too early to tell if the
calves will make good candidates to be returned to protected areas of the wild. The first rhino to be born at Port
Lympne arrived on January 5 to first-time mother Kisima and weighed about 32kg. His mother, grandmother and
great grandmother were all born at the reserve and still live there.
7. What can be inferred about Porn Lympne Reserve?A. The rhino section will be open to the public.
B. It aims to control the number of the animals.
C. It will continue to work with the World Wildlife Fund.
D. Some of its rhinos may be sent to the protected wild areas.
【参考答案】
D推理判断题。通过文章倒数第二段“it is too early to tell if the calves will make good candidates to be
returned to protected areas of the wild (要判断这些小犀牛是否会成为返回野生保护区的好的候选者还为时过
早)”可推知,Pon Lympne保护区的一些犀牛可能会被送到野生保护区。故选D项。

1.【2021年新高考全国卷Ⅰ阅读理解D篇】
We prefer to describe emotional intelligence as a specific set of skills that can be used for either good or bad
purposes. The ability to accurately understand how others are feeling may be used by a doctor to find how best to
help her patients, while a cheater might use it to control potential victims. Being emotionally intelligent does not
necessarily make one a moral person.
Although popular beliefs regarding emotional intelligence run far ahead of what research can reasonably support,
the overall effects of the publicity have been more beneficial than harmful. The most positive aspect of this
popularization is a new and much needed emphasis (重视) on emotion by employers, educators and others interested in
promoting social well-being. The popularization of emotional intelligence has helped both the public and researchers
re-evaluate the functionality of emotions and how they serve people adaptively in everyday life.
Although the continuing popular appeal of emotional intelligence is desirable, we hope that such attention will
excite a greater interest in the scientific and scholarly study of emotion. It is our hope that in coming decades, advances
in science will offer new perspectives (视角) from which to study how people manage their lives. Emotionalintelligence, with its focus on both head and heart, may serve to point us in the right direction.
33. Why does the author mention “doctor” and “cheater” in paragraph 2?
A. To explain a rule. B. To clarify a concept.
C. To present a fact. D. To make a prediction.
34. What is the author’s attitude to the popularization of emotional intelligence?
A. Favorable. B. Intolerant.
C. Doubtful. D. Unclear.
35. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about concerning emotional intelligence?
A. Its appeal to the public. B. Expectations for future studies.
C. Its practical application. D. Scientists with new perspectives.
【参考答案】
33. B推理判断题。通过文章第二段“The ability to accurately understand how others are feeling may be used
by a doctor to find how best to help her patients, while a cheater might use it to control potential victims. (医生可
能利用这种准确理解他人感受的能力来找到最好的帮助病人的方法,而骗子可能利用这种能力来控制潜在
的受害者)”可推知,作者在文章第二段中提到“医生”和“骗子”是举例子来阐明下文的观点——情商高
并不一定能使一个人成为有道德的人。故选B项。
34. A推理判断题。通过文章第三段“the overall effects of the publicity have been more beneficial than
harmful. …The popularization of emotional intelligence has helped both the public and researchers (宣传的总体效
果一直是利大于弊。这种普及最积极的方面是雇主、教育者和其他对促进社会福利感兴趣的人对情感进行
了新的、迫切需要的强调。情商的普及帮助了公众和研究人员)”可推知,作者认为情商普及是对人们有利
的。故选A项。
35. B推理判断题。通过文章最后一段“we hope that such attention will excite a greater interest in the
scientific and scholarly study of emotion. It is our hope that in coming decades, advances in science will offer new
perspectives from which to study how people manage their lives. (我们希望这种关注将激发人们对情感科学和
学术研究的更大兴趣。我们希望在未来的几十年里,科学的进步将为研究人们如何管理自己的生活提供新
的视角)”可推知,本段主要谈了对未来关于情商研究的期望。故选B项。
2.【2021年新高考全国卷Ⅰ阅读理解C篇】
In 1934, with the passage of the Migratory Bird Hunting Stamp Act (Act), an increasingly concerned nation took
firm action to stop the destruction of migratory ( 迁徙的) waterfowl and the wetlands so vital to their survival. Under
this Act, all waterfowl hunters 16 years of age and over must annually purchase and carry a Federal Duck Stamp. Thevery first Federal Duck Stamp was designed by J.N. “Ding” Darling, a political cartoonist from Des Moines, lowa,
who at that time was appointed by President Franklin Roosevelt as Director of the Bureau of Biological Survey.
Hunters willingly pay the stamp price to ensure the survival of our natural resources.
About 98 cents of every duck stamp dollar goes directly into the Migratory Bird Conservation Fund to purchase
wetlands and wildlife habitat for inclusion into the National Wildlife Refuge System — a fact that ensures this land
,
will be protected and available for all generations to come. Since 1934 better than half a billion dollars has gone into
that Fund to purchase more than 5 million acres of habitat. Little wonder the Federal Duck Stamp Program has been
called one of the most successful conservation programs ever initiated.
30. What is a direct result of the Act passed in 1934?
A. The stamp price has gone down. B. The migratory birds have flown away.
C. The hunters have stopped hunting. D. The government has collected money.
【参考答案】
D 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Since 1934, better than half a billion dollars has gone into that Fund to
purchase more than 5 million acres of habitat.”可知,自1934年起,超过5亿美元进入到了这个基金会,购买
了超过500万公顷的水禽栖息地,故可以推出,通过发行鸭票,美国政府获得了大量的资金,故选D。

“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.
25. Which of the following best describes Titterton’s job on stage?
A. Boring. B. Well-paid.
C. Demanding. D. Dangerous.
【参考答案】
C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。
4.【2021年全国乙卷阅读理解D篇】During an interview for one of my books, my interviewer said something I still think about often. Annoyed by
the level of distraction(干扰)in his open office, he said, “That’s why I have a membership at the coworking space
across the street — so I can focus”. His comment struck me as strange. After all, coworking spaces also typically use
an open office layout(布局). But I recently came across a study that shows why his approach works.
The researchers examined various levels of noise on participants as they completed tests of creative thinking.
They were randomly divided into four groups and exposed to various noise levels in the background, from total
silence to 50 decibels(分贝), 70 decibels, and 85 decibels. The differences between most of the groups were
statistically insignificant; however, the participants in the 70 decibels group — those exposed to a level of noise
similar to background chatter in a coffee shop — significantly outperformed the other groups. Since the effects were
small, this may suggest that our creative thinking does not differ that much in response to total silence and 85 decibels
of background noise.
But since the results at 70 decibels were significant, the study also suggests that the right level of background
noise — not too loud and not total silence — may actually improve one’s creative thinking ability. The right level of
background noise may interrupt our normal patterns of thinking just enough to allow our imaginations to wander,
without making it impossible to focus. This kind of “distracted focus” appears to be the best state for working on
creative tasks.
So why do so many of us hate our open offices? The problem may be that, in our offices, we can’t stop ourselves
from getting drawn into others’ conversations while we’re trying to focus. Indeed, the researchers found that face-
to-face interactions and conversations affect the creative process, and yet a coworking space or a coffee shop provides a
certain level of noise while also providing freedom from interruptions.
35. What can we infer about the author from the text?
A. He’s a news reporter.
B. He’s an office manager.
C. He’s a professional designer.
D. He’s a published writer.
【参考答案】
D 推理判断题。根据第一段“During an interview for one of my books, my interviewer said something I still
think about often.(在一次采访我的一本书时,我的采访者说了一些我至今还经常想起的话。)”可知,作
者提到有人采访自己的书,所以可以推断,作者是一位作家。故选D项。
5.【2021年全国乙卷阅读理解C篇】More than half of Australian homes are still choosing to stick with their home phone. Age is naturally a factor
(因素)— only 58 percent of Generation Ys still use landlines now and then, compared to 84 percent of Baby
Boomers who’ve perhaps had the same home number for 50 years. Age isn’t the only factor; I’d say it’s also to do
with the makeup of your household.
Generation Xers with young families, like my wife and I, can still find it convenient to have a home phone rather
than providing a mobile phone for every family member. That said, to be honest the only people who ever ring our
home phone are our Baby Boomers parents, to the point where we play a game and guess who is calling before we
pick up the phone(using Caller ID would take the fun out of it).
How attached are you to your landline? How long until they go the way of gas street lamps and morning milk
deliveries?
26. What can we say about Baby Boomers?
A. They like smartphone games. B. They enjoy guessing callers’ identity.
C. They keep using landline phones. D. They are attached to their family.
27. What can be inferred about the landline from the last paragraph?
A. It remains a family necessity.
B. It will fall out of use some day.
C. It may increase daily expenses.
D. It is as important as the gas light.
【参考答案】
26. C 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“84 percent of Baby Boomers who've perhaps had the same home
number for 50 years.(婴儿潮时代中有84%的人可能已经有50年相同的家庭号码了)”以及文章第五段“That
said, to be honest the only people who ever ring our home phone are our Baby Boomers parents (也就是说,老实
说,唯一打过我们家电话的人是婴儿潮一代的父母)”可推知,婴儿潮时代的人一直用固定电话。故选C项。
27. B 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“How attached are you to your landline? How long until they go the
way of gas street lamps and morning milk deliveries? (你有多喜欢你的座机?它们还要多久才能走上煤气路灯
和早晨送牛奶的道路?)”可推知,本段使用类比的方式,使用煤气路灯以及早晨送牛奶已经被淘汰的例子,
侧面说明了固定电话总有一天会废弃的。故选B项。
6.【2021年全国甲卷阅读理解D篇】
In the sciences and arts, those praised as geniuses were most often white men, of European origin. Perhaps this
is not a surprise. It's said that history is written by the victors, and those victors set the standards for admission to thegenius club. When contributions were made by geniuses outside the club—women, or people of a different color or
belief—they were unacknowledged and rejected by others.
A study recently published by Science found that as young as age six, girls are less likely than boys to say that
members of their gender(性别)are “really, really smart.” Even worse, the study found that girls act on that belief:
Around age six they start to avoid activities said to be for children who are “really, really smart.” Can our planet
afford to have any great thinkers become discouraged and give up? It doesn't take a genius to know the answer:
absolutely not.
12. What does the author think of victors' standards for joining the genius club?
A. They're unfair. B. They're conservative.
C. They're objective. D. They're strict.
13. What can we infer about girls from the study in Science?
A. They think themselves smart.
B. They look up to great thinkers.
C. They see gender differences earlier than boys.
D. They are likely to be influenced by social beliefs
【参考答案】
12. A 推理判断题。根据第三段的“It is said that history is written by victors, and those victors set the
standards for admission to the genius club. When contributions were made by geniuses outside the club-women, or
people of a different color or belief-they were unacknowledged and rejected by others.( 据说历史是由胜利者书写
的,而那些胜利者为进入天才俱乐部设定了标准。当俱乐部以外的天才——女性或不同肤色或信仰的人
——做出贡献时,他们不会被承认并且被其他人拒绝)”可推知,作者认为那些“胜利者”对进入“天才俱
乐部”设置的标准是不公平的,因为女性或者不同肤色或信仰的人做出的成就是得不到承认的。故选A。
13. D推理判断题。根据第四段的“Even worse, the study found that girls act on that belief. Around age six
they start to avoid activities said to be for children who are “really, really smart.”(更糟糕的是,研究发现女孩们
是按照这个信念行事的。六岁左右,她们开始避免那些据说是“非常非常聪明”的孩子参加的活动)”可推
知,女孩容易受到社会信仰的影响,认为自己在六岁左右就不适合做“聪明孩子”做的事情。故选D。
7.【2021年全国甲卷阅读理解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(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.
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
【参考答案】
8. A推理判断题。根据第一段“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.(除了我之外的家里人都很快适应这
个城市,没有了我喜爱的沙滩和蓝天,我感到迷茫和无措)”可知,作者刚到伦敦的时候因为没有喜爱的沙
滩,不能很好的融入到新的城市,感到很沮丧,故选A。
10. D 推理判断题。根据第四段““I was a local here 20 years ago," I told him. Then, slowly, he began to
nod his head. “Safe, man. Safe.””(我告诉他:“我20年前经常在这里玩滑板,”他缓慢地开始向我点头:“嗨
你好!”)”可推知,作者去Southbank这个地方是为了寻找自己玩滑板的回忆,故选D。
8. 【2020全国卷Ⅰ阅读理解B篇】Returning to a book you’ve read many times can feel like drinks with an old friend. There’s a welcome familiarity
— but also sometimes a slight suspicion that time has changed you both, and thus the relationship. But books don’t
change, people do. And that’s what makes the act of rereading so rich and transformative.
24. Why does the author like rereading?
A. It evaluates the writer-reader relationship.
B. It’s a window to a whole new world.
C. It’s a substitute for drinking with a friend.
D. It extends the understanding of oneself.
【参考答案】
D 推理判断题。根据第一段最后两句“But books don’t change, people do. And that’s what makes the act of
rereading so rich and transformative.(但是书没变,人变了。那就是使重新阅读行为如此丰富和富于变化之处)”
和第二段“The beauty of rereading lies in that our bond with the work is based on our present register. It is true, the
older I get, the more I feel time has wings.(重新阅读的美妙之处在于我们与作品的联系是基于我们现在的心理
状态。真的,我年纪越大,就越觉得时光飞逝。)”可推知,作者喜欢重新阅读是因为重新阅读可以扩展对
自己的理解。故选D项。
9. 【2020全国卷Ⅰ阅读理解B篇】
There are three books I reread annually. The first, which I take to reading every spring, is Ernest Hemingway’s A
Moveable Feast. Published in 1964, it’s his classic memoir of 1920s Paris. The language is almost intoxicating (令
人陶醉的),an aging writer looking back on an ambitious yet simpler time. Another is Annie Dillard’s Holy the
Firm, her poetic 1975 ramble (随笔) about everything and nothing. The third book is Julio Cortazar’s Save
Twilight: Selected Poems, because poetry. And because Cortazar.

A. It’s a brief account of a trip.
B. It’s about Hemingway’s life as a young man.
C. It’s a record of a historic event.
D. It’s about Hemingway’s friends in Paris.
【参考答案】
B 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Published in 1964, it’s his classic memoir of 1920s Paris.”及“an aging
writer looking back on an ambitious yet simpler time”可知,这本书出版于1964年,这是他关于20世纪20年
代在巴黎的经典回忆录,是他老年时对那些野心勃勃却更简单的日子的回顾。由此可判断出A MovableFeast是关于海明威年轻时的生活。故选B项。
10. 【2020全国卷Ⅰ阅读理解C篇】
Race walking shares many fitness benefits with running, research shows, while most likely contributing to fewer
injuries. It does, however, have its own problem.
Race walkers are conditioned athletes. The longest track and field event at the Summer Olympics is the 50-
kilometer race walk, which is about five miles longer than the marathon. But the sport’s rules require that a race
walker’s knees stay straight through most of the leg swing and one foot remain in contact(接触) with the ground at
all times. It’s this strange form that makes race walking such an attractive activity, however, says Jaclyn Norberg, an
assistant professor of exercise science at Salem State University in Salem, Mass.
31. Which word best describes the author’s attitude to race walking?
A. Skeptical. B. Objective. C. Tolerant. D. Conservative.
【参考答案】
B 推理判断题。根据第一段“Race walking shares many fitness benefits with running, research shows, while
most likely contributing to fewer injuries. It does, however, have its own problem.”可知,研究表明,竞走和跑步
一样有很多健身益处,而且它还很少导致受伤。不过,它也有自己的问题。由此判断出作者对于竞走的态
度是客观的。故选B项。
11. 【2020全国卷II阅读理解C篇】

In some cases, it’s not so much the treatment of the animals on set in the studio that has activists worried; it’s
the off-set training and living conditions that are raising concerns. And there are questions about the films made

With the young unable to afford to leave home and the old at risk of isolation(孤独), more families
are choosing to live together.
The doorway to peace and quiet, for Nick Bright at least, leads straight to his mother-in-law: she
lives on the ground floor, while he lives upstairs with his wife and their two daughters.
Four years ago they all moved into a three-storey Victorian house in Bristol — one of a growing
number of multigenerational families in the UK living together under the same roof. They share a front
door and a washing machine, but Rita Whitehead has her own kitchen, bathroom, bedroom and living
room on the ground floor.

The tests show that the social environment is extremely influential when we're making decisions. If this fellow
participant is going to eat more, so will I. Call it the “I’ll have what she's having” effect. However, we'll adjust the
influence. If an overweight person is having a large portion, I'll hold back a bit because I see the results of his eating
habits. But if a thin person eats a lot, I'll follow suit. If he can eat much and keep slim, why can't I?

Popularity is a well-explored subject in social psychology. Mitch Prinstein, a professor of clinical psychology
sorts the popular into two categories: the likable and the status seekers. The likables’ plays-well-with-others qualities
strengthen schoolyard friendships, jump-start interpersonal skills and, when tapped early, are employed ever after
in life and work. Then there’s the kind of popularity that appears in adolescence: status born of power and even
dishonorable behavior.
32. What sort of girl was the author in her early years of elementary school?
A. Unkind. B. Lonely. C. Generous. D. Cool.34. What did Dr. Prinstein’s study find about the most liked kids?

For Canaan Elementary’s second grade in Patchogue, N.Y.,today is speech day, and right now it’s
Chris Palaez’s turn. The 8-year-old is the joker of the class. With shining dark eyes, he seems like the kind

bathroom.
Learning English as a second language can be a painful experience. What you need is a great teacher who lets
you make mistakes. "It takes a lot for any student," Whaley explains, "especially for a student who is learning
English as their new language, to feel confident enough to say, ‘I don’t know,but I want to know.’"
Whaley got the idea of this second-grade presidential campaign project when he asked the children one day toraise their hands if they thought they could never be a president. The answer broke his heart. Whaley says the project is
about more than just learning to read and speak in public. He wants these kids to learn to boast(夸耀)about
themselves.
"Boasting about yourself, and your best qualities," Whaley says, "is very difficult for a child who came
into the classroom not feeling confident."

For Western designers, China and its rich culture have long been an inspiration for Western creative.
"It's no secret that China has always been a source(来源)of inspiration for designers," says Amanda Hill, chiefcreative officer at A+E Networks, a global media company and home to some of the biggest fashion(时尚)shows.
Earlier this year, the China Through A Looking Glass exhibition in New York exhibited 140 pieces of China-
inspired fashionable clothing alongside Chinese works of art, with the aim of exploring the influence of Chinese
aesthetics(美学)on Western fashion and how China has fueled the fashionable imagination for centuries. The
exhibition had record attendance, showing that there is huge interest in Chinese influences.
"China is impossible to overlook," says Hill. "Chinese models are the faces of beauty and fashion campaigns
that sell dreams to women all over the world, which means Chinese women are not just consumers of fashion — they
are central to its movement. "Of course, only are today's top Western designers being influenced by China —
some of the best designers of contemporary fashion are themselves Chinese." Vera Wang, Alexander Wang, Jason
Wu are taking on Galiano, Albaz, Marc Jacobs-and beating them hands down in design and sales," adds Hill.
24.What can we learn about the exhibition in New York?
A. It promoted the sales of artworks. B. It attracted a large number of visitors.
C. It showed ancient Chinese clothes. D. It aimed to introduce Chinese models.
25.What does Hill say about Chinese women?
A. They are setting the fashion. B. They start many fashion campaigns.
C. They admire super models. D. They do business all over the world.

Before the 1830s,most newspapers were sold through annual subscriptions in America, usually $8 to $10 a
year. Today $8 or $10 seems a small amount of money, but at that time these amounts were forbidding to most
citizens. Accordingly, newspapers were read almost only by rich people in politics or the trades. In addition, most
newspapers had little in them that would appeal to a mass audience. They were dull and visually forbidding. But the
revolution that was taking place in the 1830s would change all that.
The trend, then, was toward the "penny paper"— a term referring to papers made widely available to thepublic. It meant any inexpensive newspaper; perhaps more importantly it meant newspapers that could be bought in
single copies on the street.
This development did not take place overnight. It had been possible(but not easy)to buy single copies of
newspapers before 1830,but this usually meant the reader had to go down to the printer's office to purchase a copy. Street
sales were almost unknown. However, within a few years, street sales of newspapers would be commonplace in
eastern cities. At first the price of single copies was seldom a penny—usually two or three cents was charged —and
some of the older well-known papers charged five or six cents. But the phrase "penny paper " caught the public's
fancy, and soon there would be papers that did indeed sell for only a penny.
29.What did street sales mean to newspapers?
A. They would be priced higher. B. They would disappear from cities.
C. They could have more readers. D. They could regain public trust.
30.Who were the newspapers of the new trend targeted at?
A. Local politicians. B. Common people.
C. Young publishers. D. Rich businessmen.
【参考答案】
29. C 推理判断题 根据第二段和第三段可知,penny paper的出现,使得普通大众也可以买得起报纸,
更重要的是可以在街上买到一份报纸。因为在1830年以前,买一份报纸虽然是可能的,但要专门跑到印刷
厂,可见很不方便。因此street sales (街头销售) 的出现方便了更广大的读者,而从within a few years, street
sales of newspapers would be commonplace in eastern cities.进一步印证了street sales的出现使得报纸有了更多
的受众。
30. B 推理判断题 根据第一段的at that time these amounts were forbidding to most citizens. Accordingly,
newspapers were read almost only by rich people in politics or the trades.和第三段street sales of newspapers would

After running hundreds of tests, the researchers noted that the monkeys would go for the higher
values more than half the time, indicating that they were performing a calculation, not just memorizing
the value of each combination.
When the team examined the results of the experiment more closely, they noticed that the monkeys
tended to underestimate(低估)a sum compared with a single symbol when the two were close in value—sometimes choosing, for example, a 13 over the sum of 8 and 6. The underestimation was systematic:
When adding two numbers, the monkeys always paid attention to the larger of the two, and then added
only a fraction(小部分)of the smaller number to it.

John was waiting for the girl whose heart he knew, but whose face he didn’t, the girl with the rose. Thirteen
months ago, in a Florida library he took a book off the shelf and found himself attracted by the notes in the margin (页边).
The soft handwriting reflected a thoughtful soul and insightful mind.
In front of the book, he discovered the previous owner’s name, Miss Hollis Maynell. With time and effort, he
located her address. He wrote her a letter introducing himself and inviting her to correspond. During the next year
and one month, the two grew to know each other through the mail. A romance was developing. John requested a
photograph, but she refused. She felt that if he really cared, it wouldn’t matter what she looked like. Later they
scheduled their first meeting - 7:00 p.m. at Grand Central Station in New York.
“You’ll recognize me,” she wrote, “by the red rose I’ll be wearing on my coat.” So at 7:00 he was in the station
looking for the girl with the red rose.
A young woman in a green suit was coming towards him, her figure long and slim and her eyes were blue as
flowers. Almost uncontrollably he made one step closer to her, and just at this moment he saw Hollis Maynell - a
woman well past 40. The girl was walking quickly away. He felt as though he was at a loss, so eager was his desire
to follow her, and yet so deep was his longing for the woman whose spirit had truly accompanied him and upheld his own.He did not hesitate. He squared his shoulders and said, “I’m John, and you must be Miss Maynell. I am so glad
you could meet me; may I take you to dinner?”
The woman smiled, “I don’t know what this is about, son,” she answered, “but the young lady in the green suit
begged me to wear this rose on my coat. And she said if you were to ask me out to dinner, I should tell you she is
waiting for you in the restaurant across the street. She said it was some kind of test!”
It’s not difficult to admire wisdom. The true nature of a heart is seen in its response to the unattractive.
4.In writing the passage, the author intends to _______.
A.tell us a romantic story between two young persons
B.show one’s spirit matters more than his appearance
C.show that one’s response to unattractive shows his heart

After a salon(美发厅) turns away a physically challenged woman, a stranger makes a truly beautiful gesture.
“Beauty isn’t about having a pretty face. It’s about having a pretty mind, a pretty heart, and a pretty soul, Oh, and
pretty nails!” That may well be Angela Peters’s motto.
Last July, Peters, 36, rolled her wheelchair into a nail salon at the Walmart shopping center in Burton, Michigan,
with the idea of painting her fingers. But Peters was turned away. The salon told her that they were afraid it would be
too difficult to properly paint her nails given that her hands shook, What was meant to be a clay of happiness for
Peters was now a disappointment.
Ebony Harris, 40, saw everything and approached Peters. Harris offered to do her nails. They shopped for nail
polish. They settled on a bright blue — a statement color that would catch every eye. They then made their way into
a neighboring Subway, found a table for two, and set up shop. Harris gently took Peters’s hand into hers and carefully
began painting her nails.
Watching it all with awe and admiration was Subway employee Tasia Smith. What struck her most was the ease
and gentleness displayed by Harris as she painted Peters’s nails, all the while chatting as if they were old friends.
Peters, who runs a poetry website, heavenlypoems. com, harbors(心怀) no bitterness toward the nail salon that
turned her away. (The salon says they refused to offer Peters service because they were too busy.) “When people do
us wrong we must forgive,” Peters wrote on her website. “I just want to educate people that people with different
challenges, like being in a wheelchair, can have our own business and get our nails done like anyone else.”
15.What does Peters intend to tell us by writing on her website?
A.It’s better to use websites to educate people.
B.The salon has its reasonable reason to refuse her.
C.Those who did something wrong should not be forgiven.
D.People with different challenges should be treated equally.

推理判断题。由文章最后一句,peters在她网站上的写的话“人们做错事我们必须原谅,我只想告诉

Next day, Jo wanted to get out of the house, so she picked up her skates and went next door to ask Laurie to take
her skating.
Amy heard them going. “Jo promised to take me with her next time!” she complained.
“It’s hard for her to forgive you, Amy,” said Meg. “Go after them and wait until Jo is enjoying herself, then give
her a kiss or do something kind.”
It was not far to the river, but Jo and Laurie were already skating when Amy arrived. Jo saw Amy but turned
away.
Laurie was carefully skating along the edge of the ice and didn’t see the younger girl.
Amy put her skates on and stood on the ice.
“Keep near the edge. The ice isn’t safe in the middle.” Laurie called to Jo, then he disappeared round the first
bend in the river. Jo heard, but Amy did not. Jo realized that Amy probably hadn’t heard, but she said nothing
and skated after Laurie. “Let Amy look after herself!” Jo thought.
Amy skated out towards the smoother ice in the middle of the river. Jo reached the bend, and for a moment she
stood still, a strange feeling in her heart. Something made her turn round—just in time to see Amy throw up her hands
and go crashing through the ice into the cold water! Amy gave a cry that made Jo’s heart stop with fear. She tried to
call Laurie, but her voice was gone, and for a second she could only stand and stare at the little blue hood(帽子) of
Amy’s coat above the black water.
Suddenly, Laurie skated past her and shouted, “Bring a piece of wood from the side of the river, quickly!”
Wild with fear, Jo fetched some wood and pulled it across the ice, while Laurie held Amy’s head above the water.
Together, they got her out.
She was more frightened than hurt, and was quickly taken home. They covered her in blankets and tried to calm
her, and after a little while she fell asleep in front of the warm fire. Later, when everything was quiet, Jo asked her
mother, “Are you sure she is safe ?” “Quite safe, dear. It was sensible to get her home as quickly as you did.”
“Laurie did it all,” said Jo. “Mother, if she should die, it will be my fault. I get angry so quickly. Oh, why can’t
I be more like you?”
“I get angry nearly every day of my life, Jo,” said Mrs March, “but I've learned not to show it. I’ve learned to

Stephen Wamukota, a nine-year-old from Mukwa village in Western Kenya, is making the headlines worldwide
for his creative hand-washing machine. The young boy came up with the idea after watching village residents, who
didn’t have easy access to running water, struggle to find an effective way to wash their hands to avoid spreading and
contracting COVID-19.
Using the few resources at hand –wood scraps, nails, and a bucket –Stephen designed and built a simple, but
functional, cleansing station. The clever creation, which consists of two pedals (踏板) –one to release soap and the
other to release water–enables villagers to wash their hands contact-free, thereby reducing the likelihood of catching
the disease.“I had bought some pieces of wood to make a window frame, but when I came back home after work one
day, I found that Stephen had made the machine,” his father, James, told the BBC.“The concept was his, and I
helped tighten the machine. I’m very proud.”James credits Stephen’s building ability to the village school’s curriculum (
课程), which teaches children to assemble (装配) and construct items from a very young age.
25.What does James think of the village school’s curriculum?
A.He sings high praise for it. B.He considers it very abstract.
C.He thinks it too professional. D.He has reservations about it.
【参考答案】
推理判断题。根据第二段中的“James credits Stephen’s building ability to the village school’s curriculum,
which teaches children to assemble and construct items from a very young age.(James 将Stephen的建造能力归
功于村里的学校课程,这一课程从孩子很小的时候就开始教他们装配和建造物品)”可推知,James对村
庄里学校的课程评价很高,故选A。8.【湖南省长沙一中2021届高三四调】
The reason why Ne Zha has been welcomed by Chinese audiences is that it has applied a range of traditional
aesthetic elements, from Taoist, Peking Opera and Lunar New Year paintings to Chinese animation techniques.
Actually, China’s animation movies are finding the right rhythm, achieving box office returns of about 60 billion
yuan in the country.
But despite Ne Zha breaking several box office records, China's animation industry still faces many challenges.
Ne Zha achieved almost unprecedented success because of the cooperation of more than 70 enterprises, indicating
how decentralized (分散) China’s animation industry is. It also shows why the producers of The Monkey King: A
Heroes Return and Big Fish& Begonia have not been able to make sequels (续集) of new animation films despite the
relatively easy access to capital, and have sought foreign enterprises' help to make new animation movies.
There is still room for the Chinese animation industry to improve its filmmaking techniques and boost the
country's cultural industry including the animation industry and bring them to international level.
7.What's the authors attitude towards China's animation industry?
A.Positive. B.Indifferent. C.Neutral. D.Pessimistic.
【参考答案】

达到国际水平)”可知,作者对中国动漫产业的态度是“积极的”。故选A。

Last year, after I told my story on the radio, I was contacted by VocaliD, a Massachusetts-based company. They
offered to design a voice modeled on my own. I was not sure whether it would be helpful but sent the recordings they
requested. The first time I heard the voice they created, I felt the hair on the back of my neck rise. It was so close to
my own that the two were nearly indistinguishable. I've only just begun using this new voice. Already my brain isregistering the computer s speech as my own monologue. My hope is that this will restore a sense of self to my writing
process, allowing me easier access to that inner space where the imagination can take over, and the real work can
begin.

A.Upset. B.Concerned.
C.Grateful. D.Doubtful.
