I、2021年高考真題
(2021·新高考I卷·B篇)
By day, Robert Titterton is a lawyer. In his spare time though he goes on stage beside pianist Maria Raspopova—not as a musician but as her page turner. "I'm not a trained musician, but I've learnt to read music so I can help Maria in her performance."
Mr Titterton is chairman of the Omega Ensemble but has been the group's official page turner for the past four years. His job is to sit beside the pianist and turn the pages of the score so the musician doesn't have to break the flow of sound by doing it themselves. He said he became just as nervous as those playing instruments on stage.
"A lot of skills are needed for the job. You have to make sure you don't turn two pages at once and make sure you find the repeats in the music when you have to go back to the right spot, "?Mr Titterton explained.
Being a page turner requires plenty of practice. Some pieces of music can go for 40 minutes and require up to 50 page turns, including back turns for repeat passages. Silent onstage communication is key, and each pianist has their own style of "nodding" to indicate a page turn which they need to practise with their page turner.
But like all performances, there are moments when things go wrong.?"I was turning the page to get ready for the next page, but the draft wind from the turn caused the spare pages to fall off the stand, "?Mr Titterton said.?"Luckily I was able to catch them and put them back."
Most page turners are piano students or up-and-coming concert pianists, although Ms Raspopova has once asked her husband to help her out on stage.
"My husband is the worst page turner, "?she laughed.?"He's interested in the music, feeling every note, and I have to say:?'Turn, turn!'"?"Robert is the best page turner I've had in my entire life."
1.What should Titterton be able to do to be a page turner?
A.Read music. B.Play the piano.
C.Sing songs. D.Fix the instruments.

2Which of the following best describes Titterton's job on stage?
A.Boring. B.Well-paid. C.Demanding. D.Dangerous.

3What does Titterton need to practise?
A.Counting the pages.
B.Recognizing the?"nodding".
C.Catching falling objects.
D.Performing in his own style.

4Why is Ms Raspopova's husband?"the worst page turner"??
A.He has very poor eyesight.
B.He ignores the audience.
C.He has no interest in music.
D.He forgets to do his job.

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

D.Seeing the world is must for children.

1.推理判斷題。根據(jù)題干關(guān)鍵詞 "after he moved to London" 定位在原文第一段“Without my beloved beaches and endless blue -sky days, I felt at a loss and out of place. 沒(méi)有我心愛(ài)的海灘和無(wú)盡的藍(lán)天,我感到不知所措和格格不入。所以,作者是失望的。故選A項(xiàng)。

(2021·浙江卷·A篇)
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(職業(yè))in acting. Even though he often felt he would be discovered to be a no-talent, he moved forward, gaining a scholarship to the Neighborhood Playhouse and making his first television appearance a few years later in 1948. However, becoming a full-time, successful actor would still be an uphill battle for another eight yeas until he landed a number of film roles that finally got him noticed.
But even then, what he had wasn't quite what he wanted. Nielsen always felt he should be doing comedy but his good looks and distinguished voice kept him busy in dramatic roles. It wasn't until 1980—32 years into his career—that he landed the role it would seem he was made for in?Airplane! That movie led him into the second half of his career where his comedic presence alone could make a movie a financial success even when movie reviewers would not rate it highly.
Did Nielsen then feel content in his career? Yes and no. He was thrilled to be doing the comedy that he always felt he should do, but even during his last few year he always had a sense of curiosity, wondering what new role or challenge might be just around the corner. He never stopped working, never retired.
Leslie Nielsen's devotion to acting is wonderfully inspiring. He built a hugely successful career with little more than plain old hard work and determination. He showed us that even a single desire, never given up on, can make for a remarkable life.
1.Why did Nielsen want to be an actor?
A.He enjoyed watching movies.
B.He was eager to earn money.
C.He wanted to be like his uncle.
D.He felt he was good at acting.
2.What do we know about Nelsen in the second half of his career?
A.He directed some high quality movies.
B.He avoided taking on new challenges.
C.He focused on playing dramatic roles.
D.He became a successful comedy actor.
3.What does Nielsen's career story tell us?
A.Art is long, life is short.
B.He who laughs last laughs longest.
C.It's never too late to learn.
D.Where there's a will there's a way.
【答案】CDD
【解析】本文記敘文。文章介紹了著名影視明星Nielsen的成名之路。
1.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段前兩句 "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(職業(yè))in acting." 可知,尼爾森的叔叔是著名演員,叔叔贏得的欽佩和尊重激勵(lì)他成為演員,故選C。
2.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段最后一句話 "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." 可知,在他職業(yè)生涯的后半段,他的喜劇表現(xiàn)已十分卓越,故選D。
3.推斷題。根據(jù)最后一段最后一句 "He showed us that even a single desire, never given up on, can make for a remarkable life." 可知,尼爾森的故事告訴我們只要不放棄便可成就非凡人生,即有志者事竟成(Where there's a will there's a way.)。

II、2021年高考模擬試題

(2021·諸暨市5月模擬·閱讀理解A篇)
I’m not a full-time traveler. I spend most days working to earn a living just like you do. But whenever a chance arises for me to visit a far-off country, I jump at it.
When studying abroad in New Zealand, I travelled extensively all over the country with two friends. We booked everything from whale watching to a private flight over the Southern Alps, and racked up some impressive credit card bills. Another international student almost looked down her nose at our pricey adventures, declaring that she had come to New Zealand to study, not to empty her savings account on travel.
My question to her came. Why would you come halfway around the world to save your money and keep your nose pressed into a book every weekend? Would you go to China and not visit the Great Wall because it consumes money? Would you go to Italy and skip visiting the Vatican because it requires an admission ticket?
I know where I would like my life to go in the coming months and years. But there are no guarantees that things will go as planned. Practically, nothing will go as planned.
“Oh, I’ll travel when I retire.” “I’ll travel when the kids are grown.” “I’ll travel when the house is paid off.” How often we hear others say these? I hear these excuses all the time. But you know what occurs? Age. And stress. And, well, life. Life happens and by that time, you have bad knees and weak lungs and you simply cannot visit all those places you dreamed about in your youth. How sad! I don’t want to end up like that, holding on to youthful travel dreams that will never be reality.
So I often think, what if “sometime later” never came?
So if you are privileged enough to be able to afford to travel, then you should attack it with curiosity and energy and a sense of adventure.
So travel young, and travel far.
1. Why did the author mention his travel experience in New Zealand?
A. To prove his belief in travel. B. To show his enthusiasm for travel.
C. To attract readers’ attention. D. To recall a wonderful experience.
2. What does paragraph 5 mainly talk about?
A. The excuses for failing to travel far. B. The absolute barriers in the future life.
C. The uncertainties of future for travel. D. The regrets of missing some journeys.
3. Why is the author’s writing purpose?
A. To circulate the advantages of travel. B. To share his own travel experience.
C. To convince readers to travel young. D. To criticize the economical students.
【答案】B C C
【解析】這是一篇夾敘夾議文。文中作者結(jié)合自身的旅行經(jīng)歷,來(lái)說(shuō)明旅行應(yīng)該趁著年輕,因?yàn)槲磥?lái)再去充滿了不確定性。
1.推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段“I’m not a full-time traveler. I spend most days working to earn a living just like you do. But whenever a chance arises for me to visit a far-off country, I jump at it.(我不是一個(gè)全職的旅行者。我大部分時(shí)間都在工作賺錢(qián),就像你一樣。但只要有機(jī)會(huì)去遙遠(yuǎn)的國(guó)家旅游,我總是欣然接受)”以及第二段“When studying abroad in New Zealand, I travelled extensively all over the country with two friends. We booked everything from whale watching to a private flight over the Southern Alps, and racked up some impressive credit card bills. Another international student almost looked down her nose at our pricey adventures, declaring that she had come to New Zealand to study, not to empty her savings account on travel. (在新西蘭留學(xué)的時(shí)候,我和兩個(gè)朋友走遍了整個(gè)國(guó)家。我們訂了從觀鯨到飛越南阿爾卑斯山的私人飛機(jī)的所有東西,還刷了不少信用卡。另一名國(guó)際學(xué)生幾乎對(duì)我們昂貴的冒險(xiǎn)不屑一顧,聲稱她來(lái)新西蘭是為了學(xué)習(xí),不是為了把存款全花在旅行上)”可推知,作者提到了他在新西蘭的旅行經(jīng)歷是為了表明他對(duì)旅行的熱情。故選B。
2.主旨大意題。根據(jù)第五段““Oh, I’ll travel when I retire.” “I’ll travel when the kids are grown.” “I’ll travel when the house is paid off.” How often we hear others say these? I hear these excuses all the time. But you know what occurs? Age. And stress. And, well, life. Life happens and by that time, you have bad knees and weak lungs and you simply cannot visit all those places you dreamed about in your youth. How sad! I don’t want to end up like that, holding on to youthful travel dreams that will never be reality.(“哦,我退休后要去旅行。”“等孩子們長(zhǎng)大了,我再去旅行?!薄暗确孔拥腻X(qián)還清了,我就去旅行?!蔽覀兪遣皇墙?jīng)常聽(tīng)到別人這樣說(shuō)?我總是聽(tīng)到這種借口。但你知道會(huì)發(fā)生了什么嗎?年齡、壓力和生活。到那個(gè)時(shí)候,你的膝蓋和肺都不好了,你根本無(wú)法去那些你年輕時(shí)夢(mèng)想的地方。多么悲傷!我不想這樣的結(jié)局,抱著永遠(yuǎn)不會(huì)成為現(xiàn)實(shí)的青春旅行夢(mèng)想)”可知,第五段主要講了未來(lái)旅行的不確定性。故選C。
3.推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段“So travel young, and travel far.(所以,趁年輕,遠(yuǎn)行吧)”結(jié)合文中作者結(jié)合自身的旅行經(jīng)歷,來(lái)說(shuō)明旅行應(yīng)該趁著年輕,因?yàn)槲磥?lái)再去充滿了不確定性??赏浦髡叩膶?xiě)作目的是說(shuō)服讀者年輕時(shí)去旅行。故選C。

(2021·臺(tái)州市4月調(diào)考·閱讀理解A篇)
I saw my first tree today. Dad used to tell me stories about the trees that still existed when he was a boy. There weren’t very many even then, with the urbanization program in full swing.
The O’Brien home was one of the few examples of old-style wooden structures that hadn’t been destroyed in Boston’s urban-renewal campaign. The family had been able to avoid this because of its wealth and political influence, and the house was passed on through generations to the present. Old man O’Brien had no children, so when he died, the Urban Center bought it. Then an official discovered that the house had a backyard-in the yard was a live tree!
When the news of the tree’s discovery leaked out quite a few sightseers stopped by to have a look at it, and the local government, realizing the money-making potential, began charging admission and advertising the place. By now it had become a favorite spot for family trips like ours.
Dad paid the fee and we walked through a doorway hidden in a bookshelf and into the backyard. I just couldn’t help noticing the tree!
It was located at one end of the yard, with a fence around it for protection. It was similar in form to the plastic trees I’d seen, but there was much more. You could see details more delicate than in any artificially made plant. And it was alive. But best of all was the smell-fresh, living smell, unfamiliar to the world outside with metal, plastic, and glass. I wanted to touch the bark, but the fence prevented me from doing so.
On the way back, I read through the brochures. One part said the O’Brien home would be torn down next year to make room for some insurance building, and the tree will have to go, too.
I just sat still, fingering the object in my pocket that I had picked in the O’Brien’s backyard. I think it’s called an acorn (橡子).
1. Why could the tree in the O’Brien’s backyard survive till today?
A. It possessed some special characteristics.
B. It had a very strong fence around to protect it.
C. It was preserved together with the house by its owner.
D. It got the local government’s attention as a tourist attraction.
2. How might the author feel after the trip?
A. Annoyed. B. Calm. C. Excited. D. Upset.
3. Which statement best shows the theme of the passage?
A. Social progress and urbanization come at a cost.
B. Social progress should give way to nature protection.
C. Humans value nature protection over social progress.
D. Urbanization has more advantages than disadvantages.

1.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段中“The O’Brien home was one of the few examples of old-style wooden structures that hadn’t been destroyed in Boston’s urban-renewal campaign. The family had been able to avoid this because of its wealth and political influence, and the house was passed on through generations to the present. …Then an official discovered that the house had a backyard-in the yard was a live tree!

(我只能靜靜地坐著,用手摸著我口袋里的東西,它是在O’Brien家后院撿到的。)”可知,作者在這次旅行后會(huì)感到沮喪。故選D項(xiàng)。
3.主旨大意題。根據(jù)第一段中“Dad used to tell me stories about the trees that still existed when he was a boy. There weren’t very many even then, with the urbanization program in full swing.

(2021·天津十二區(qū)縣聯(lián)考2·閱讀理解B篇)
Maybe no one forgets their first bicycle and there is no exception to a woman like me. Mine was a Schwinn coaster bike, second-hand, painted a distinctive red and yellow by its previous owner. I remember riding too fast down the big hill on Springfield Avenue. I knew at once that the world was mine to explore.
A couple of years later, when I was 11, my grandmother visited from England, bringing me a bike. It was a shiny dark green, with three gears (齒輪) and hand brakes. As the owner of the first English bicycle my neighbors had ever seen, I was, for a time, almost a star.
Unlike my coaster bike, it was light and responsive — riding it felt like flying. I rode it past big stone houses with their huge yards and trees. I rode past brick row houses. I rode alone and with groups of friends.
That beloved bike went with me to college, carrying me to the library and to classes. Beyond transport, it was often a prop (道具): pushing it along as I walked the college paths made me feel less self-conscious. Somehow, conversation flowed more easily on either side of a bike.
After college, I lived abroad for a time. Returning from London, I discovered to my horror that my parents had sold my bike. They didn’t even know who had bought it.
For years after that, I didn’t have a bicycle that was specifically mine. Teaching in a New England prep school, I simply rode whatever bikes its graduates had left behind. I rode around the little town on bikes which slipped in and out of gear, with brakes that often failed.
I did not take any of those bikes with me when I moved south to the coastal town where I now live. But after a while I missed riding. Finally, on a fall day, I bought a bicycle. Called a comfort bike, it has wider tires than my old bike and seven gears. But it is green — a brighter green bike.
Still, I was a bit apprehensive. I was out of practice and a lot older. I brought the bike home and put on my helmet — I’d never worn a helmet before. Then I got on the bike. After a tentative, slightly shaky start, I fell exactly as I was on that long-ago day on Springfield Avenue: free. Soon I was riding along. It seemed that everyone I passed smiled and waved or call out, great day for a bike ride! And I knew they all remembered their first bike and how it had set them free. I wanted to call back to them, “I still can!”
1. According to the article, the author’s beloved bike ________.
A. was a red and yellow coaster bike
B. made her the envy of all her friends
C. was her birthday gift from her grandmother
D. made her shy and awkward at times at college
2. While pushing the English bike along, the author________.
A. felt bored B. felt special
C. became talkative D. became lost in thought
3. When she was teaching at a prep school, the author ________.
A. didn’t like her once-beloved bike
B. got out of the habit of riding bikes
C. loved exploring the little town by riding around
D. rode bikes that had been recommended to her by graduates
4. What does the underlined word “apprehensive” in Paragraph 6 mean?
A. Dissatisfied. B. Excited. C. Shocked. D. Fearful.
5. What was the author’s main purpose in writing this article?
A. To describe the different bikes she has been riding alone.
B. To recall the joy and freedom she has enjoyed thanks to riding.
C. To inform us of the fun and benefits of riding bikes with others.
D. To tell us about how she grew up through her riding experiences.

Lisa was running late. Lisa, 25, had a lot to do at work, plus visitors on the way: her parents were coming in for Thanksgiving from her hometown. But as she hurried down the subway stairs, she started to feel uncomfortably warm. By the time she got to the platform, Lisa felt weak and tired—maybe it hadn’t been a good idea to give blood the night before, she thought. She rested herself against a post close to the tracks.
Several yards away, Frank, 43, and his girlfriend, Jennifer, found a spot close to where the front of the train would stop. They were deep in discussion about a house they were thinking of buying.
But when he heard the scream, followed by someone yelling, “Oh, my God, she fell in!” Frank didn’t hesitate(猶豫). He jumped down to the tracks and ran some 40 feet toward the body lying on the rails. “No! Not you! ”his girlfriend shouted after him.
She was right to be alarmed. By the time Frank reached Lisa, he could feel the tracks shaking and see the light coming. The train was about 20 seconds from the station.
It was hard to lift her. She was just out. But he managed to raise her four feet to the platform(站臺(tái)) so that bystanders could hold her by the legs and drag her away from the edge. That was where Lisa briefly regained consciousness(知覺(jué)), felt herself being pulled along the ground, and saw someone else holding her purse.
Lisa thought she’d been robbed. A woman held her hand and a man gave his shirt to help stop the blood pouring from her head. And she tried to talk but she couldn’t, and that was when she realized how much pain she was in.
Police and fire officials soon arrived, and Frank told the story to an officer. Jennifer said her boyfriend was calm on their 40-minute train ride downtown - just as he had been seconds after the rescue(營(yíng)救), which made her think about her reaction at the time. “I saw the train coming and I was thinking he was going to die,” she explained.
1. What was the most probable cause for Lisa’s weakness?
A. She had run a long way. B. She felt hot in the subway.
C. She had done a 1ot of work. D. She had donated blood the night before.
2. Why did Jennifer try to stop her boyfriend?
A. Because they would miss their train.
B. Because he didn’t see the train coming.
C. Because she was sure Lisa was hard to lift.
D. Because she was afraid the train would kill him.
3. How did Frank save Lisa?
A. By lifting her to the platform. B. By helping her rise to her feet.
C. By pulling her along the ground. D. By dragging her away from the edge.
4. When did Lisa become conscious again?
A. When the train was leaving.
B. After she was back on the platform.
C. After the police and fire officials came.
D. When a man was cleaning the blood from her head.
5. The passage is intended to _____________
A. warn us of the danger in the subway B. show us how to save people in the subway
C. tell us about a subway rescue D. report a traffic accident

(2021·北大附中三?!ら喿x理解B篇)
When I was 13 years old, I went on a 735-mile cycling trip with my brother and father. We were all keen cyclists and I can say I felt like I was born on a bike. My father was a professional cyclist, and wanted to show us, his twin sons, the work of the trade and bond with us.
The trip was across the San Juan Islands and then Vancouver Island. We prepared for the journey by going on smaller rides and practiced cycling with panniers (貨筐). Adjusting to the weight on the bike was harder than I thought. When we set out for the trip, I knew that I yearned to have an adventure and wanted to see the beautiful sights of mountains, bears, moose, deer, forests, and much more.
One night, after perhaps a week into the trip, we were on our last legs(路程)getting to a campsite, and going down a large hill. It was raining moderately and we were coasting down the hill in eager delight to take a rest from going up a mountain with all of our gear and sore legs.
Suddenly, my brother’s front tire slipped in the rain, and he slid into the middle of the road. My father and I stopped, asking if he was okay. Apparently, he was not hurt too much, but his leg was caught up in the bike frame. From the top of the hill, we saw the light of a car coming. My father and I looked on in shock. Chris could not seem to get out of the entrapment of his bike, and now the car was blasting its way. This all happened within seconds.
Instinctively, I rushed out in front of my brother in the middle of the road, and waved my hands frantically. The car rushed forward, but swerved to the left to go around my brother and I. My brother was saved from being crushed by the car.
My brother says I was incredibly brave but I think we do what we know is right. I believe that one should listen to one’s gut in times of peril, and not intellectualize dilemmas. If I had thought about what I was doing on that night, my brother might have been robbed from this world. Life and death often swing in the balance between what seems natural and rational.
1. What does Dad expect from the cycling trip?
A. To spend time with his sons.
B. To instruct his sons how to cycle.
C. To show off his professional skills.
D. To explore the adventures in the mountain.
2. The possible reason for the accident is that________.
A. It rained cats and dogs.
B. A bear came out of nowhere.
C. The road down the hill was too slippery.
D. They were too excited to get back to the campsite.
3. What can we learn from the story?
A. A friend is never known till a man has need.
B. The best that we find in our travel is an honest friend.
C. Brothers concentrate on each other, and their strength runs out of gold.
D. If you are serious about what you’re doing, keep you head and follow your instinct.

1.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章“When I was 13 years old, I went on a 735-mile cycling trip with my brother and father. We were all keen cyclists and I can say I felt like I was born on a bike. My father was a professional cyclist, and wanted to show us, his twin sons, the work of the trade and bond with us. ”(當(dāng)我13歲的時(shí)候,我和我的哥哥和父親進(jìn)行了一次735英里的自行車(chē)旅行。我們都是自行車(chē)愛(ài)好者,我可以說(shuō)我感覺(jué)我天生就是騎自行的料。我的父親是一名職業(yè)自行車(chē)手,他想讓我們,他的雙胞胎兒子,看看這個(gè)行業(yè)的工作和與我們的聯(lián)系。)可知,作者的父親期望能從自行車(chē)旅行中讓他的兒子們看看這個(gè)工作的性質(zhì),并且和兒子們建立聯(lián)系,一起度過(guò)一些時(shí)光,故選A。
2.推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段“One night, after perhaps a week into the trip, we were on our last legs(路程)getting to a campsite, and going down a large hill.

My Biggest Challenge
As a writer on an adventure sports magazine, I’d always fought shy of doing the adventurous stuff myself, preferring instead to observe the experts from a safe distance and relay their experiences to readers in the form of written language. Thus, when I was challenged to take part in a mountain climb in aid of raising money for charity-and to write about it afterwards-I was unwilling, to say the least.
I was lucky enough to have a brilliant climbing coach called Keith, who put me through my paces after my daily work. He gave me knowledge about everything from the importance of building muscle groups to how to avoid tiredness through nutrition. It quickly became apparent that the mechanics of climbing were more complex than I had imagined. There was the equipment and techniques I’d never even heard of, all of which would come in handy on the snow-capped peak I’d be climbing.
Aware of the challenge, Keith made a detailed action plan and I forced myself to stick to it, doing a daily workout at the gym and going on hikes with a heavy pack. I perfected my technique on the climbing wall and even went to climb the mountains to get vital experience. My self-belief increased alongside my muscle power and I became confident about finishing the climb.
All too soon I was on a plane to my destination. On that day, when I looked up at the mountain, I thought of abandoning it. But then I remembered all the hard work I’d done and how disappointed Keith would be if I gave up at the last minute-not to mention letting down the charity and the sense of failure I’d experience myself. With a deep breath I gathered my equipment and headed out into the sunshine to meet the rest of the group.
And as I sit here now, tapping away on my laptop, I’m amazed at the details in which I can recall every second of the climb: the burning muscles, the tiredness, the minor problems along the way. Could I have been better prepared? Possibly. Would I be back for another go? Thankfully not. The feeling of being excited when I stood on top of the world is a never-to-be-repeated experience but one I will enjoy forever nevertheless.
1. At the beginning of the activity, the author revealed his ______.
A. disappointment in the coming adventure.
B. expectation of writing about his experience.
C. lack of enthusiasm for the challenge he’d been offered.
D. curiosity about taking part in the mountain climb for charity.
2. What did the author realise during his climb training?
A. The knowledge about climbing was really confusing.
B. The equipment was the key factor to reach the peak.
C. Climbing was much more complicated than expected.
D. Hard training was far more important than making plans.
3. How did the author feel after he succeeded in climbing the mountain?
A. He was relieved that he wouldn’t have to do it again.
B. He was well satisfied that he had done his best for it.
C. He was surprised that he had managed to complete it.
D He was regretful that it wasn’t as smooth as imagined.

William had worked hard to pass the exams to enter high school. When the term began, however, his father told him that there was no money to pay for his school fees because of the summer drought. Still, William wanted to learn.
He made the village library his school. One day, he found a book called Using Energy. On the book’s cover was a picture of windmills, tall steel towers with blades (葉片) spinning like giant fans. He learned that wind—something of which his hometown had plenty—could produce electricity.

He couldn’t help picturing his own windmill in mind, but collecting the parts and tools he needed would take months. In a junkyard, he dug through piles of used metal, old cars, and worn-out tractors, searching for anything that might help him construct his machine. He made four-foot-long blades from plastic pipe, which he melted over a fire, flattened out, and hardened with bamboo poles.
Earning some money, he paid a blacksmith to attach the piston (活塞) to the pedal sprocket (踏板鏈輪) of an old bicycle frame. This would be the axle (輪軸) of the windmill. When the wind blew, the spinning blades would turn the bicycle wheel and spin a small dynamo (發(fā)電機(jī)), donated by his friend.

When he had collected all the parts, William began putting them together. He fixed the blades to the tractor fan he found, using washers (墊圈) he’d made from bottle caps. Next he pushed the fan onto the piston joint to the bicycle frame. With the help of his two best friends, William built a 16-foot-tall tower from trunks of trees and lifted the ninety-pound windmill to the top.
The big moments eventually came. He climbed up the tower and connected two wires that held a small bulb. As the wind whipped around him, the blades began to turn, slowly at first, then faster and faster. The light bulb flickered (閃爍), then flashed to life. The crowd cheered from below. “Wachitabwina (well done)!”
William’s machine now powered his house. And the story of the boy who’d built a power-generating windmill to rescue his family from the drought spread across the Internet.
1. After reading Using Energy, what did William decide to do?
A. Make use of wind. B. Enter a high school.
C. Build a village library. D. Learn to survive a drought.
2. According to Para.3, which of the following word can best describe William?
A. Humorous. B. Determined.
C. Cooperative. D. Friendly.
3. What can you learn about William’s machine?
A. It was built by villagers.
B. It worked at the first attempt.
C. It took him years to complete it.
D. It was made from metal materials.
4. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Winds Of Hope B. Ideas Worth Spreading
C. Learning from Experience D. Windmills for Villages

Aubrey is a FedEx driver who has made regular delivery stops in a rural neighborhood in Indiana. During her stops there, she would see an 11-year-old boy, Elijah, playing basketball with an old and rusty bent hoop.
"It was crazy to me how happy he was with the broken hoop. Every time I saw him, he was so joyful playing basketball. Seeing him so happy stuck with me," said Aubrey.
The FedEx driver thought about Elijah many times over the months, and decided that she wanted to bless him in a special way. "I just wouldn't stop thinking about it. I really wanted to get him a hoop. He deserves it."
Aubrey went out and bought a new basketball hoop and installed it when the family wasn't home. She left a note that read: "Just wanted you and your son to have the best hoop that'll grow with him and all his friends." She signed herself "just one of the FedEx drivers in the area".
"I read the note, and the moment I realized who it was from, I started to cry," said Coledo, Elijah's mom. "When Elijah came home and I showed it to him, he got really emotional. He got teary-eyed but he's an 11-year-old boy, so he really didn't want to admit he was crying," laughed Coledo. "He just sat there for 10 minutes staring at the hoop until it really touched him that she went out of her way to do something just for him."
Aubrey had no idea how much her surprise gift had impacted Elijah and his family. They all had gone through a difficult year with Coledo's husband suffering a serious injury, and Coledo crashing her car. "It's just been a hard year. We're so humbled and grateful she would do this for us. This has been a huge thing for us," said Coledo.
When Aubrey made another FedEx delivery to their neighborhood, Elijah saw her, ran to her and hugged her. Elijah also gave Aubrey a card he made for her. And he invited her to play a game of basketball with him and his younger brother.
"It was almost like we'd always known each other. I really bonded with the boys," said Aubrey. "I'm just really happy they know that someone is out there for them."
1. Aubrey bought Elijah a new basketball hoop because ________.
A. she wanted to make a friend using a surprise gift
B. she was eager to donate to children in the rural area
C. she was impressed by Elijah's passion for basketball
D. she thought Elijah was unhappy with the broken hoop

(2021·門(mén)頭溝區(qū)二?!ら喿x理解B篇)
While many people prefer to buy a new dog from a breeder, another option is to adopt a rescue dog. As the Svilicics already had a healthy daughter Charlotte, they felt fortunate enough to save another life. Thus, Catherine adopted a dog and named it Khan. Catherine was hopeful this would provide valuable lessons for her baby, such as sharing, learning to love and responsibility to care for animals.
They trained Khan during the first few days and everything began smoothly. Charlotte and the new dog made a habit of playing out in the backyard. However, things were different this day. They began running through the backyard grass together. That was until Khan’s temperament seemed to change dramatically. Khan began acting wildly aggressively (富于攻擊性的), grabbing the baby.
This was not the normal play between the two. Mouth open, Catherine watched in complete and utter shock. She watched as Khan tossed (拋) Charlotte across their lawn. What happened next alarmed Catherine and everyone present. He tightly clenched his jaws into her diaper to toss her back and forth. Therefore, with urgency, she ran to Charlotte and carried her to safety.
Miraculously, her child was unharmed. While Catherine brought her baby to shelter, Khan barked madly and then collapsed. The dog began crying. No one understood what was going on! Khan was obviously not doing well. The dog continued crying and then fell lifeless. Catherine focused on the dog, watching his dying eyes and realized he had been protecting her child. It turned out that Khan was protecting Charlotte from a poisonous, dangerous snake. She used all her strength to bring the dog to her car and sped for the vet, hearing his breath slow. When the vet took over, Catherine cried and felt totally helpless, so she prayed for his recovery.
The vet had to remove all the snake poison from the body. Quite a few days later, Khan was slowly getting stronger through the vet’s effort. Eventually, he made progress and the snake’s venom was removed. Actually, Khan impressed even the vet with his rapid recovery and progress.
The whole family could be reunited once again with this amazing and heroic animal. Catherine was determined to protect this amazing animal as if it were her own child.

A. That Khan tossed her child back and forth.

1.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段“What happened next alarmed Catherine and everyone present. He tightly clenched his jaws into her diaper to toss her back and forth.(接下來(lái)發(fā)生的一幕讓凱瑟琳嚇出一聲冷汗:她看到Khan死死咬住夏洛特的尿布,來(lái)回拖拽這個(gè)孩子)”可知,凱瑟琳不明白Khan的行為動(dòng)機(jī),立刻將孩子抱到安全的地方。故選A項(xiàng)。

It turned out that Khan was protecting Charlotte from a poisonous, dangerous snake.(凱瑟琳看到Khan迷離的眼神,終于意識(shí)到它剛才一直在保護(hù)夏洛特免受毒蛇的侵害)”和第五段段首句“The vet had to remove all the snake poison from the body.(獸醫(yī)必須將Khan體內(nèi)的所有蛇毒全部清除)”可知,Khan為了保護(hù)夏洛特,被毒蛇咬傷。故選D項(xiàng)。
3.推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段“Thus, Catherine adopted a dog and named it Khan.(凱瑟琳收養(yǎng)了一條名叫Khan的狗)”和最后一段“Catherine was determined to protect this amazing animal as if it were her own child.(凱瑟琳決心會(huì)像保護(hù)自己孩子那樣保護(hù)好這只神奇的狗狗)”可知,凱瑟琳是一位非常有愛(ài)心,熱愛(ài)動(dòng)物的人。故選B項(xiàng)。
