一、2022年高考真題
1. (2022年全國甲卷)
As Ginni Bazlinton reached Antarctica, she found herself greeted by a group of little Gentoo penguins (企鵝) longing to say hello. These gentle, lovely gatekeepers welcomed her and kick-started what was to be a trip Ginni would never forget.
Ever since her childhood, Ginni, now 71, has had a deep love for travel. Throughout her career (職業(yè)) as a professional dancer, she toured in the UK, but always longed to explore further. When she retired from dancing and her sons eventually flew the nest, she decided it was time to take the plunge.
After taking a degree at Chichester University in Related Arts, Ginni began to travel the world, eventually getting work teaching English in Japan and Chile. And it was in Chile she discovered she could get last-minute cheap deals on ships going to Antarctica from the islands off Tierra del Fuego, the southernmost tip of the South American mainland. “I just decided I wanted to go,” she says. “I had no idea about what I’d find there and I wasn’t nervous, I just wanted to do it. And I wanted to do it alone as I always prefer it that way.”
In March 2008, Ginni boarded a ship with 48 passengers she’d never met before, to begin the journey towards Antarctica. “From seeing the wildlife to witnessing sunrises, the whole experience was amazing. Antarctica left an impression on me that no other place has,” Ginni says. “I remember the first time I saw a humpback whale; it just rose out of the water like some prehistoric creature and I thought it was smiling at us. You could still hear the operatic sounds it was making underwater.”
The realization that this is a precious land, to be respected by humans, was one of the biggest things that hit home to Ginni.
28. Which of the following best explains “take the plunge” underlined in paragraph 2?
A. Try challenging things. B. Take a degree.
C. Bring back lost memories. D. Stick to a promise.
29. What made Ginni decide on the trip to Antarctica?
A. Lovely penguins. B. Beautiful scenery.
C. A discount fare. D. A friend’s invitation.
30. What does Ginni think about Antarctica after the journey?
A. It could be a home for her. B. It should be easily accessible.
C. It should be well preserved. D. It needs to be fully introduced.
31. What is the text mainly about?
A. A childhood dream. B. An unforgettable experience.
C. Sailing around the world. D. Meeting animals in Antarctica.

2. (2022年全國高考新高考I卷)
The elderly residents (居民) in care homes in London are being given hens to look after to stop them feeling lonely.
The project was dreamed up by a local charity (慈善組織) to reduce loneliness and improve elderly people’s wellbeing. It is also being used to help patients suffering dementia, a serious illness of the mind. Staff in care homes have reported a reduction in the use of medicine where hens are in use.
Among those taking part in the project is 80-year-old Ruth Xavier. She said: “I used to keep hens when I was younger and had to prepare their breakfast each morning before I went to school. ”
“I like the project a lot. I am down there in my wheelchair in the morning letting the hens out and down there again at night to see they’ve gone to bed.”
“It’s good to have a different focus. People have been bringing their children in to see the hens and residents come and sit outside to watch them. I’m enjoying the creative activities, and it feels great to have done something useful.”
There are now 700 elderly people looking after hens in 20 care homes in the North East, and the charity has been given financial support to roll it out countrywide.
Wendy Wilson, extra care manager at 60 Penfold Street, one of the first to embark on the project, said: “Residents really welcome the idea of the project and the creative sessions. We are looking forward to the benefits and fun the project can bring to people here.”
Lynn Lewis, director of Notting Hill Pathways, said: “We are happy to be taking part in the project. It will really help connect our residents through a shared interest and creative activities.”
28. What is the purpose of the project?
A. To ensure harmony in care homes. B. To provide part-time jobs for the aged.
C. To raise money for medical research. D. To promote the elderly people’s welfare.
29. How has the project affected Ruth Xavier?
A. She has learned new life skills. B. She has gained a sense of achievement.
C. She has recovered her memory. D. She has developed a strong personality.
30. What do the underlined words “embark on” mean in paragraph 7?
A. Improve. B. Oppose. C. Begin. D. Evaluate.
31. What can we learn about the project from the last two paragraphs?
A. It is well received. B. It needs to be more creative.
C. It is highly profitable. D. It takes ages to see the results.
【分析】本文是一篇新聞報(bào)道。主要講述了旨在減少孤獨(dú),改善老年人的健康狀況的項(xiàng)目。

22. 【答案】B
【解析】推理判斷題。RuthXavicr是一位參加了該項(xiàng)目的老人,本題考查該項(xiàng)目對(duì)這位老人的影響。第三段中Ruth Xavier說她以前養(yǎng)過母雞并回憶了她如何養(yǎng)雞,因此A、C項(xiàng)表述錯(cuò)誤。根據(jù)第四段中的I like the project a lot和第五段中的I’m enjoying the creative activities, and it feels great to have done something useful可知,Ruth Xavier喜歡這個(gè)項(xiàng)目,也享受這些富有創(chuàng)意的活動(dòng),因?yàn)樽鲇杏玫氖虑樗杏X很好,很有成就感。因此B項(xiàng)正確。D項(xiàng)“她養(yǎng)成了堅(jiān)強(qiáng)的個(gè)性”在文中沒有提及。
23. 【答案】C
【解析】詞義猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)文章倒數(shù)第二段“Residents really welcome the idea of the project and the creative sessions. We are looking forward to the benefits and fun the project can bring to people here. (居民們非常歡迎該項(xiàng)目的想法和創(chuàng)意會(huì)議。我們期待這個(gè)項(xiàng)目能給這里的人們帶來好處和樂趣)”以及劃線處前的“one of the first (第一批人之一)”可知Wendy Wilson是著手這項(xiàng)工程的人之一,劃線處的含義與C項(xiàng):“Begin (開始)”含義相近。故選C。
24.【答案】A
【解析】推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章倒數(shù)第二段“Residents really welcome the idea of the project and the creative sessions. We are looking forward to the benefits and fun the project can bring to people here.

3. (2022年全國高考新高考I卷)
Like most of us, I try to be mindful of food that goes to waste. The arugula (芝麻菜)was to make a nice green salad, rounding out a roast chicken dinner. But I ended up working late. Then friends called with a dinner invitation. I stuck the chicken in the freezer. But as days passed, the arugula went bad. Even worse, I had unthinkingly bought way too much; I could have made six salads with what I threw out.
In a world where nearly 800 million people a year go hungry, “food waste goes against the moral grain,” as Elizabeth Royte writes in this month’s cover story. It’s jaw-dropping how much perfectly good food is thrown away — from “ugly” (but quite eatable) vegetables rejected by grocers to large amounts of uneaten dishes thrown into restaurant garbage cans.
Producing food that no one eats wastes the water, fuel, and other resources used to grow it. That makes food waste an environmental problem. In fact, Royte writes, “if food waste were a country, it would be the third largest producer of greenhouse gases in the world.”
If that’s hard to understand, let’s keep it as simple as the arugula at the back of my refrigerator. Mike Curtin sees my arugula story all the time — but for him, it's more like 12 bones of donated strawberries nearing their last days. Curtin is CEO of DC Central Kitchen in Washington, D.C., which recovers food and turns it into healthy meals. Last year it recovered more than 807,500 pounds of food by taking donations and collecting blemished (有瑕疵的) produce that otherwise would have rotted in fields. And the strawberries? Volunteers will wash, cut, and freeze or dry them for use in meals down the road.
Such methods seem obvious, yet so often we just don’t think. “Everyone can play a part in reducing waste, whether by not purchasing more food than necessary in your weekly shopping or by asking restaurants to not include the side dish you won’t eat,” Curtin says.
24. What does the author want to show by telling the arugula story?
A. We pay little attention to food waste. B. We waste food unintentionally at times.
C We waste more vegetables than meat. D. We have good reasons for wasting food.
25. What is a consequence of food waste according to the test?
A. Moral decline. B. Environmental harm.
C. Energy shortage. D. Worldwide starvation.
26. What does Curtin’s company do?
A. It produces kitchen equipment. B. It turns rotten arugula into clean fuel.
C. It helps local farmers grow fruits. D. It makes meals out of unwanted food.
27. What does Curtin suggest people do?
A. Buy only what is needed. B. Reduce food consumption.
C. Go shopping once a week. D. Eat in restaurants less often.
【語篇導(dǎo)讀】作者通過自己無意間浪費(fèi)芝麻菜的經(jīng)歷就“食物浪費(fèi)”展開的議論。
24.【答案】B
【解析】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段中的“Like most of us, I try to be mindful of food that goes to waste.(像我們大多數(shù)人一樣,我努力關(guān)注那些被浪費(fèi)的食物)”及“But as days passed, the arugula went bad. Even worse, I had unthinkingly bought way too much; could have made six salads with what I threw out.(但隨著時(shí)間的推移,芝麻菜變壞了。更糟糕的是,我不假思索地買了太多東西;我扔掉的東西可以做六份沙拉)”可推知,作者想通過講述芝麻菜的故事來表明我們有時(shí)會(huì)無意間浪費(fèi)食物。故選B。
25.【答案】B
【解析】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段“Producing food that no one eats wastes the water, fuel, and other, resources used to grow it. That makes food waste an environmental problem. In fact, Royte writes, “if food waste were a country, it would be the third largest producer of greenhouse gases in the world.”(生產(chǎn)沒人吃的食物會(huì)浪費(fèi)用于種植食物的水、燃料和其他資源。這使得食物浪費(fèi)成為一個(gè)環(huán)境問題。事實(shí)上,羅伊特寫道,“如果食物浪費(fèi)是一個(gè)國家,它將是世界上第三大溫室氣體排放國?!?”可知,根據(jù)文中的說法,浪費(fèi)食物的一個(gè)后果是對(duì)環(huán)境的危害。故選B。
26.【答案】D
【解析】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段中的“Curtin is CEO of DC Central Kitchen in Washington. D.C., which recovers food and turns it into healthy meals. Last year it recovered more than 807,500 pounds of food by taking donations and collecting blemished (有瑕疵的) produce, that otherwise would have rotted in fields. And the strawberries? Volunteers will wash, cut, and freeze or dry them for use in meals down the road.(科廷是華盛頓DC中央廚房的首席執(zhí)行官,該公司把食物復(fù)原,變成健康的食物。去年,該組織通過接受捐贈(zèng)和收集有瑕疵的農(nóng)產(chǎn)品,收回了超過807500磅的食物,否則這些農(nóng)產(chǎn)品就會(huì)在地里腐爛。草莓呢?志愿者們將清洗、切割、冷凍或干燥它們,以便在路上的餐食中使用)”可知,科廷的公司用人們不想要的食物重新制作食物。故選D。
27.【答案】A
【解析】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段中的““Everyone can play a part in reducing waste, whether by not purchasing more food than necessary in your weekly shopping or by asking restaurants to not include the side dish you won’t eat,” Curtin says.(“每個(gè)人都可以在減少浪費(fèi)方面發(fā)揮作用,無論是在每周的購物中不購買不必要的食物,還是要求餐館不包括你不吃的配菜,”科廷說)”可知,科廷建議人們只買需要的東西來避免浪費(fèi)食物。故選A。
二、2022屆模擬題
Passage 1(2022·湖南·周南中學(xué)模擬預(yù)測(cè))
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 other patients. 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.

(果醬餡餅一直是我的最愛,我吃得太過癮了。而且,冰箱里擺滿了巧克力和冰淇淋,所以我隨便吃了些好東西。那天晚上,我醒來時(shí)牙疼得難以忍受。)”可知,那天晚上作者感覺不舒服的原因是毫無節(jié)制地吃美食。故選C項(xiàng)。
2. 【答案】B
【解析】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段中“Picking up a few magazines, I tried to read to get rid of my fear and pain, but I could not concentrate. (我拿起幾本雜志,試圖通過閱讀來擺脫恐懼和痛苦,但我無法集中精神。)”可知,在見牙醫(yī)之前,作者試著看一些雜志來轉(zhuǎn)移對(duì)牙痛的注意力。故選B項(xiàng)。
3. 【答案】C
【解析】詞句猜測(cè)題。劃線詞句前文“I grabbed the dentist’s hands more than once. At first, he was quite taken aback and eyed me suspiciously. (我不止一次抓住牙醫(yī)的手。起初,他很吃驚,懷疑地看著我。)”說明在牙醫(yī)要給作者拔牙時(shí),作者抓住醫(yī)生的手,這個(gè)動(dòng)作影響作者手術(shù),是危險(xiǎn)的,結(jié)合劃線詞句“Then he warned me that he would have my hands tied if I were to repeat my antics. (然后他警告我說,如果我再重復(fù)我的antics,他會(huì)把我的手綁起來。)”可以推知,劃線詞匯antics應(yīng)為“危險(xiǎn)舉止”的意思。故選C項(xiàng)。
4. 【答案】D
【解析】推理判斷題。通讀全文,根據(jù)前文內(nèi)容及最后一段中“I swore that this would be the first and the last time I stepped into a dental clinic. (我發(fā)誓這將是我第一次也是最后一次走進(jìn)牙科診所。)”可知,作者因?yàn)橐淮畏趴v自己吃甜食,導(dǎo)致牙疼并得去牙科診所拔牙,作者決心吸取教訓(xùn),不再犯同類錯(cuò)誤。從而推知,作者得到的教訓(xùn)是“吃一塹,長(zhǎng)一智”。故選D項(xiàng)。
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 (鑰匙鏈), 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 (手鏈) 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 (蓋子) covered in silver glitter (小閃光物) and topped with a pink flamingo (火烈鳥). It was cheap and tacky (俗氣的) 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 (小飾品) say I was thinking of you even though we were apart. That’s always a good investment (投資).
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.

Passage 3(2022·上?!?fù)旦附中模擬預(yù)測(cè))
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 (遠(yuǎn)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
【導(dǎo)語】本文是一篇記敘文。文章主要講述了Pen Hadow即將進(jìn)行的北極探險(xiǎn),這次探險(xiǎn)極具意義,因?yàn)樗麑烟诫U(xiǎn)與探索知識(shí)聯(lián)系起來。
10.【答案】B
【解析】推理判斷題。根據(jù)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,這一次的意義更為重大。Pen Hadow和兩名同事將開始為期三個(gè)月、1000公里的北極跋涉,對(duì)冰層的厚度和密度進(jìn)行詳細(xì)的測(cè)量。以前從來沒有人這樣做過,他知道這些結(jié)果將對(duì)科學(xué)界具有至關(guān)重要的意義。)”可推斷,他深知這次探險(xiǎn)意義更為重大。故選B。
11.【答案】D

12.【答案】B
【解析】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段第五句開始“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說,作為團(tuán)隊(duì)的一員,對(duì)于那些心理狀態(tài)良好的人來說,壓力其實(shí)更大,而且他還在考慮其他事情。“到周四我就47歲了。我所做的訓(xùn)練遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)少于我所能接受的。“為什么?“有組織的事情似乎總是更緊急。所以我?guī)缀鹾ε挛乙獑栕约旱膯栴}。”)”可推斷,他擔(dān)心自己不能勝任此次探險(xiǎn)。故選B。
13.【答案】C
【解析】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段第二句“‘Making it to the North Pole was a personal ambition,’ he admits, ‘a(chǎn)nd 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.

Passage 4(2022·北京通州·模擬預(yù)測(cè))
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. I knew 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 easy or difficult trails there are to choose from until we make a choice!

C.it’s worth challenging our fears and pushing on
D.we don’t have the freedom to do anything we like

Passage 5(2022·山東·德州市教育科學(xué)研究院三模)
One year before, at age 18, Leszyeski had aged out of foster care(寄養(yǎng)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 with my 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.
【導(dǎo)語】本文為一篇記敘文。講述的是女孩 Leszyeski收到來自由一名23歲女孩Maria Paparella創(chuàng)建的慈善組織Chairity幫助的故事。通過該非營(yíng)利性機(jī)構(gòu)通過幫助一些生活在寄養(yǎng)中心的孩子們,讓他們找到了人生的希望和自信。

21.【答案】B
【解析】推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段中“Paparella is convinced these contributions give the recipients hope and confidence. Leszyeski agrees.”(帕帕雷拉相信,這些捐贈(zèng)給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.”(這讓我覺得我和其他人沒有什么不同。我之前覺得不正常的生活,現(xiàn)在已經(jīng)感覺正常了。)可知, Leszyeski 認(rèn)為這個(gè)組織給她帶來了信心和希望。故選B。
Passage 6(2022·江蘇省泰州市教育局模擬預(yù)測(cè))
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(微型畫)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 image impactful, 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(快門), 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.

23.【答案】A
【解析】詞義猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)文章第三段最后一句話“feel like they’re actually there, in a different land.(感覺他們真的在那里,在另一個(gè)地方。)”可知,通過玩具攝影使得觀眾參與到攝影中,以達(dá)到身臨其境的感受。可推知此處指這個(gè)玩具展,可以使觀眾們完全有身臨其境的感覺,因而畫線詞“immersed”意為“沉浸、使陷入”。A. Involved參與,關(guān)系密切;B. Applied應(yīng)用的;C. Located位于;D. Stuck困住。be involved in為固定短語,意為“參與,牽涉進(jìn)”,與畫線詞同義,表示參與到攝影的體驗(yàn)中。故選A項(xiàng)。
24.【答案】D
【解析】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章倒數(shù)第二段第一句話“What began as a hobby quickly became a new-found career for Mitchel.(最初作為一種愛好的東西很快成為Mitchel新發(fā)現(xiàn)的職業(yè)。)”可知,Mitchel把自己的愛好變成職業(yè),能夠繼續(xù)追隨。D項(xiàng)“它使他能夠追隨他的新激情?!惫蔬xD項(xiàng)。

Passage 7 (2022·福建省福州第一中學(xué)三模)
It was a cold Saturday night in February. Some 200 New Yorkers carefully made their way to the reservoir (水庫) 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 the lockdown
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 (貴族), 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.a(chǎn)t 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

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 the duty. “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 miss school daily for fear of being bullied.
Horton isn’t sure exactly what the future holds, but for now, she’s positive about leading her school’s student government. “I don’t know exactly what I’ll be doing, but I know I’ll be making a positive influence on the world,” she says. She’s already on her way, but her biggest achievement in her own eyes is persuading others not to doubt themselves along the way. “Don’t care what anybody tells you,” she says. “You are never too young to make a change.”
30.Why was Horton bullied?
A.Because of her age. B.Because of her weight.
C.Because of her grades. D.Because of her hobby.
31.What does the underlined word “mission” in paragraph 2 mean?
A.Task. B.Anger. C.Skill. D.Curiosity.
32.What can we learn from Horton’s story?
A.Fear invites danger. B.No voice is too small.
C.Success is peace of mind. D.Imperfections are beauty.
33.What might be the best title for the passage?
A.A Picture-Book Writer
B.A Hip-Hop Music Lover
C.An Environmental Activist
D.An Anti-Bullying Advocate

Passage 9(2022·福建廈門·模擬預(yù)測(cè))
“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 (嗶嗶聲) 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 (搭便車) 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.

35.【答案】B
【解析】B
細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第二段中的“if their skis start scraping, prepare for ice(如果他們的滑雪板開始刮擦,就要做好結(jié)冰的準(zhǔn)備)”可知,滑雪板刮擦的聲音表明軌道結(jié)冰了。故選B項(xiàng)。
