2023年高考真題
【2023?新高考I卷】
When John Todd was a child, he loved to explore the woods around his house, observing how nature solved problems. A dirty stream, for example, often became clear after flowing through plants and along rocks where tiny creatures lived. When he got older, John started to wonder if this process could be used to clean up the messes people were making.
After studying agriculture, medicine, and fisheries in college, John went back to observing nature and asking questions. Why can certain plants trap harmful bacteria (細(xì)菌)? Which kinds of fish can eat cancer-causing chemicals? With the right combination of animals and plants, he figured, maybe he could clean up waste the way nature did. He decided to build what he would later call an eco-machine.
The task John set for himself was to remove harmful substances from some sludge (污泥). First, he constructed a series of clear fiberglass tanks connected to each other. Then he went around to local ponds and streams and brought back some plants and animals. He placed them in the tanks and waited. Little by little, these different kinds of life got used to one another and formed their own ecosystem. After a few weeks, John added the sludge.
He was amazed at the results. The plants and animals in the eco-machine took the sludge as food and began to eat it! Within weeks, it had all been digested, and all that was left was pure water.
Over the years, John has taken on many big jobs. He developed a greenhouse — like facility that treated sewage (污水) from 1,600 homes in South Burlington. He also designed an eco-machine to clean canal water in Fuzhou, a city in southeast China.
“Ecological design” is the name John gives to what he does. “Life on Earth is kind of a box of spare parts for the inventor,” he says. “You put organisms in new relationships and observe what’s happening. Then you let these new systems develop their own ways to self-repair.”
4. What can we learn about John from the first two paragraphs?
A. He was fond of traveling. B. He enjoyed being alone.
C. He had an inquiring mind. D. He longed to be a doctor.
5. Why did John put the sludge into the tanks?
A. To feed the animals. B. To build an ecosystem.
C. To protect the plants. D. To test the eco-machine.
6. What is the author’s purpose in mentioning Fuzhou?
A. To review John’s research plans. B. To show an application of John’s idea.
C. To compare John’s different jobs. D. To erase doubts about John’s invention.
7. What is the basis for John’s work?
A. Nature can repair itself. B. Organisms need water to survive.
C. Life on Earth is diverse. D. Most tiny creatures live in groups.
【答案】4. C5. D6. B7. A

【導(dǎo)語(yǔ)】這是一篇記敘文。文章講述了John Todd從小就很愛(ài)思考且好學(xué),他建造了一個(gè)生態(tài)機(jī)器,利用自然可以自我修復(fù)的原理來(lái)凈化污水。
4.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段“When John Todd was a child, he loved to explore the woods around his house, observing how nature solved problems. A dirty stream, for example, often became clear after flowing through plants and along rocks where tiny creatures lived. When he got older, John started to wonder if this process could be used to clean up the messes people were making. (當(dāng)約翰·托德還是個(gè)孩子的時(shí)候,他喜歡探索房子周圍的樹(shù)林,觀察大自然是如何解決問(wèn)題的。例如,一條骯臟的小溪流經(jīng)植物和微小生物居住的巖石后,往往會(huì)變得清澈。長(zhǎng)大后,約翰開(kāi)始思考這個(gè)過(guò)程是否可以用來(lái)清理人們制造的混亂)”以及第二段“After studying agriculture, medicine, and fisheries in college, John went back to observing nature and asking questions. Why can certain plants trap harmful bacteria (細(xì)菌)? Which kinds of fish can eat cancer-causing chemicals? (在大學(xué)學(xué)習(xí)了農(nóng)業(yè)、醫(yī)學(xué)和漁業(yè)之后,約翰又回到了觀察自然和提出問(wèn)題的生活中。為什么某些植物能捕獲有害細(xì)菌?哪些魚類會(huì)食用致癌化學(xué)物質(zhì)?)”可知,約翰聰穎好學(xué)、好奇心很強(qiáng)。故選C。
5.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段“After a few weeks, John added the sludge. (幾個(gè)星期后,約翰把污泥加了進(jìn)去)”以及倒數(shù)第三段“He was amazed at the results. The plants and animals in the eco-machine took the sludge as food and began to eat it! Within weeks, it had all been digested, and all that was left was pure water. (他對(duì)結(jié)果感到驚訝。生態(tài)機(jī)器里的動(dòng)植物把污泥當(dāng)成了食物,開(kāi)始吃了起來(lái)!幾周之內(nèi),它就被消化了,只剩下純凈水)”可知,約翰把污泥放進(jìn)罐子里是為了測(cè)試生態(tài)機(jī)器。故選D。
6.推理判斷題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段“Over the years, John has taken on many big jobs. He developed a greenhouse — like facility that treated sewage (污水) from 1,600 homes in South Burlington. He also designed an eco-machine to clean canal water in Fuzhou, a city in southeast China. (這些年來(lái),約翰承擔(dān)了許多重大工作。他開(kāi)發(fā)了一個(gè)類似溫室的設(shè)施,可以處理來(lái)自南伯靈頓1600戶家庭的污水。他還設(shè)計(jì)了一種生態(tài)機(jī)器來(lái)清潔中國(guó)東南部城市福州的運(yùn)河水)”可推知,作者提到福州的目的是展示約翰想法的應(yīng)用。故選B。
7.推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段“You put organisms in new relationships and observe what’s happening. Then you let these new systems develop their own ways to self-repair. (你把生物體放在新的關(guān)系中,觀察會(huì)發(fā)生什么。然后讓這些新系統(tǒng)自行發(fā)展自我修復(fù)的方式)”可知,約翰工作的基礎(chǔ)是自然可以自我修復(fù)。故選A。
【2023?新高考II卷】
Turning soil, pulling weeds, and harvesting cabbage sound like tough work for middle and high school kids. And at first it is, says Abby Jaramillo, who with another teacher started Urban Sprouts, a school garden program at four low-income schools. The program aims to help students develop science skills, environmental awareness, and healthy lifestyles.
Jaramillo’s students live in neighborhoods where fresh food and green space are not easy to find and fast food restaurants outnumber grocery stores. “The kids literally come to school with bags of snacks and large bottles of soft drinks,” she says. “They come to us thinking vegetables are awful, dirt is awful, insects are awful.” Though some are initially scared of the insects and turned off by the dirt, most are eager to try something new.
Urban Sprouts’ classes, at two middle schools and two high schools, include hands-on experiments such as soil testing, flower-and-seed dissection, tastings of fresh or dried produce, and work in the garden. Several times a year, students cook the vegetables they grow, and they occasionally make salads for their entire schools.
Program evaluations show that kids eat more vegetables as a result of the classes. “We have students who say they went home and talked to their parents and now they’re eating differently,” Jaramillo says.
She adds that the program’s benefits go beyond nutrition. Some students get so interested in gardening that they bring home seeds to start their own vegetable gardens. Besides, working in the garden seems to have a calming effect on Jaramillo’s special education students, many of whom have emotional control issues. “They get outside,” she says, “and they feel successful.”
4. What do we know about Abby Jaramillo?
A. She used to be a health worker. B. She grew up in a low-income family.
C. She owns a fast food restaurant. D. She is an initiator of Urban Sprouts.
5. What was a problem facing Jaramillo at the start of the program?
A. The kids’ parents distrusted her. B. Students had little time for her classes.
C. Some kids disliked garden work. D. There was no space for school gardens.
6. Which of the following best describes the impact of the program?
A. Far-reaching. B. Predictable.
C. Short-lived. D. Unidentifiable.
7. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Rescuing School Gardens B. Experiencing Country Life
C. Growing Vegetable Lovers D. Changing Local Landscape
【答案】4. D5. C6. A7. B

2021-2022年高考真題
【2022?新高考II卷】
We journalists live in a new age of storytelling, with many new multimedia tools. Many young people don’t even realize it’s new. For them, it’s just normal.
This hit home for me as I was sitting with my 2-year-old grandson on a sofa over the Spring Festival holiday. I had brought a children’s book to read. It had simple words and colorful pictures — a perfect match for his age.
Picture this: my grandson sitting on my lap as I hold the book in front so he can see the pictures. As I read, he reaches out and pokes (戳) the page with his finger.
What’s up with that? He just likes the pictures, I thought. Then I turned the page and continued. He poked the page even harder. I nearly dropped the book. I was confused: Is there something wrong with this kid?
Then I realized what was happening. He was actually a stranger to books. His father frequently amused the boy with a tablet computer which was loaded with colorful pictures that come alive when you poke them. He thought my storybook was like that.
Sorry, kid. This book is not part of your high-tech world. It’s an outdated, lifeless thing. An antique, like your grandfather. Well, I may be old, but I’m not hopelessly challenged, digitally speaking. I edit video and produce audio. I use mobile payment. I’ve even built websites.
There’s one notable gap in my new-media experience, however: I’ve spent little time in front of a camera, since I have a face made for radio. But that didn’t stop China Daily from asking me last week to share a personal story for a video project about the integration of Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei province.
Anyway, grandpa is now an internet star — two minutes of fame! I promise not to let it go to my head. But I will make sure my 2-year-old grandson sees it on his tablet.
24. What do the underlined words “hit home for me” mean in paragraph 2?
A. Provided shelter for me. B. Became very clear to me.
C. Took the pressure off me. D. Worked quite well on me.
25. Why did the kid poke the storybook?
A. He took it for a tablet computer. B. He disliked the colorful pictures.
C. He was angry with his grandpa. D. He wanted to read it by himself.
26. What does the author think of himself?
A. Socially ambitious. B. Physically attractive.
C. Financially independent. D. Digitally competent.
27. What can we learn about the author as a journalist?
A. He lacks experience in his job. B. He seldom appears on television.
C. He manages a video department. D. He often interviews internet stars.
【答案】24. B 25. A 26. D 27. B

【2021?新高考I卷】
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.”
24. What should Titterton be able to do to be a page turner?
A. Read music. B. Play the piano. C. Sing songs. D. Fix the instruments.
25. Which of the following best describes Titterton’s job on stage?
A. Boring. B. Well-paid. C. Demanding. D. Dangerous.
26. What does Titterton need to practise?
A. Counting the pages.
B. Recognizing the “nodding”.
C. Catching falling objects.
D. Performing in his own style.
27. Why is Ms Raspopova’s husband “the worse page turner”?
A. He has very poor eyesight.
B. He ignores the audience.
C. He has no interest in music.
D. He forgets to do his job
【答案】24. A25. C26. B27. D
【導(dǎo)語(yǔ)】這是一篇記敘文。主要講述了為鋼琴演奏者做翻頁(yè)工作的Robert Titterton和他的工作情況。
24.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段“I’m not a trained musician, but I’ve learnt to read music so I can help Maria in her performance.(我不是受過(guò)訓(xùn)練的音樂(lè)家,但我學(xué)會(huì)了識(shí)譜,這樣我就可以在Maria的表演中幫助她)”可知,因?yàn)門itterton識(shí)譜,所以可以在Maria的鋼琴表演中為她翻頁(yè)。故選A項(xiàng)。
25.推理判斷題。根據(jù)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.(這項(xiàng)工作需要很多技能。你必須確保你不會(huì)一次翻兩頁(yè)并且必要的時(shí)候確保你回到前面找到音樂(lè)重復(fù)的部分)”可知,為鋼琴家翻頁(yè)這項(xiàng)工作很需要技巧,所以Titterton的工作要求是很高的。故選C項(xiàng)。
26.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段“Silent onstage communication is key, and each pianist has their own style of “nodding” to indicate a page turn which they need to practise with their page turner.(無(wú)聲的舞臺(tái)交流是關(guān)鍵,每個(gè)鋼琴家都有自己的“點(diǎn)頭”風(fēng)格來(lái)表示翻頁(yè),他們需要和翻頁(yè)者進(jìn)行練習(xí))”可知,Titterton需要練習(xí)識(shí)別鋼琴演奏者的“點(diǎn)頭”示意來(lái)翻頁(yè)。故選B項(xiàng)。
27.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段“He’s interested in the music, feeling every note, and I have to say: ‘Turn, turn!’(他對(duì)音樂(lè)很感興趣,感受著每一個(gè)音符,所以我不得不說(shuō):“翻頁(yè),翻頁(yè)!”)”可知,Ms Raspopova的丈夫因?yàn)閷?duì)音樂(lè)感興趣,所以幫她翻頁(yè)的時(shí)候總是沉浸在音樂(lè)中而忘掉自己的工作,她不得不去提醒。故選D項(xiàng)。

I have worked as a keeper at the National Zoo, Paris for 11 years. Spot and Stripe are the first tiger cubs that have ever been born here. Globally, a third of Sumatran cubs in zoos don't make it to adulthood, so I decided to give them round-the-clock care at home.
I've got two children—the younger one, Kynan, was extremely happy about the tigers arriving - but all of us really looked forward to being part of their lives and watching them grow. I wasn't worried about bringing them into my home with my wife and kids. These were cubs. They weighed about 2.5 kg and were so small that there was absolutely no risk.
As they grew more mobile, we let them move freely around the house during the day, but when we were asleep we had to contain them in a large room, otherwise they'd get up to mischief. We'd come down in the morning to find they'd turned the room upside down, and left it looking like a zoo.
Things quickly got very intense due to the huge amount of energy required to look after them. There were some tough times and I just felt extremely tired. I was grateful that my family was there to help. We had to have a bit of a production line going, making up “tiger milk”, washing baby bottles, and cleaning the floors.
When Spot and Stripe were four months old, they were learning how to open doors and jump fences, and we knew it really was time for them to go. It was hard for us to finally part with them. For the first few days, Kynan was always a bit disappointed that the cubs weren't there.
I'm not sad about it. I'm hands-on with them every day at the zoo, and I do look back very fondly on the time that we had them.
24. Why did the author bring the tiger cubs home?
A. To ensure their survival. B. To observe their differences.
C. To teach them life skills. D. To let them play with his kids.
25. What do the underlined words “get up to mischief” mean in paragraph 3?
A. Behave badly. B. Lose their way. C. Sleep soundly. D. Miss their mom.
26. What did the author think of raising the tiger cubs at home?
A. Boring. B. Tiring. C. Costly. D. Risky.
27. Why did the author decide to send Spot and Stripe back to the zoo?
A. They frightened the children. B. They became difficult to contain.
C. They annoyed the neighbours. D. They started fighting each other.
【答案】24. A 25. A 26. B 27. B

25.詞句猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)畫線詞上文“As they grew more mobile, we let them move freely around the house during the day, but when we were asleep we had to contain them in a large room, otherwise they'd ”(隨著它們的活動(dòng)越來(lái)越多,我們白天讓它們?cè)诜孔永镒杂苫顒?dòng),但當(dāng)我們睡覺(jué)時(shí),我們必須把它們關(guān)在一個(gè)大房間里,否則它們會(huì))以及后文“We'd come down in the morning to find they'd turned the room upside down, and left it looking like a zoo.”(我們?cè)缟舷聵菚r(shí)發(fā)現(xiàn)他們把房間弄得亂七八糟,讓它看起來(lái)像個(gè)動(dòng)物園。)可知,作者不得不把老虎們關(guān)在一個(gè)大房間里,否則它們就會(huì)調(diào)皮搗蛋,表現(xiàn)不好。早上下樓時(shí)發(fā)現(xiàn)他們把房間弄得亂七八糟,看起來(lái)像個(gè)動(dòng)物園。故畫線詞意思是“表現(xiàn)不好”。故選A。
26.推理判斷題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第三段中“Things quickly got very intense due to the huge amount of energy required to look after them. There were some tough times and I just felt extremely tired.(由于需要大量的精力來(lái)照顧它們,事情很快變得非常緊張。有一段艱難的日子,我只是覺(jué)得非常累)”可推知,作者認(rèn)為在家里養(yǎng)小老虎累人。故選B。

B
Massimo Bottura, a three-Michelin-Starred chef, has extended his culinary(烹飪的) empire globally. However, he says that the peak of all of his achievements is Milan’s Refettorio Ambrosiano and the following 12 global branches.
At Refettorio Ambrosiano, dinner guests are greeted by name. They dine on fine china at tables created by the country’s most sought-after furniture designers. The waiters are polite, and the chefs have been trained under the finest restaurateurs in the world. The set menu changes every day, depending on what comes in with the morning’s delivery.
This morning’s delivery contains dry arugula(芝麻菜), chicken close to its sell-by date and too-ugly-to-be-sold oranges. By dinner, however, the supermarket castoffs have been transformed into a three-course meal. The 100 or so diners — refugees, the homeless, and the unemployed — enjoy the meal with obvious pleasure, laughing with the volunteer waiters, praising the volunteer chefs, and forgetting, at least for an hour, the challenges of a life lived on the streets.
The brightest gems in Bottura’s culinary empire are not restaurants at all. He thinks of them as spaces that shine a light on the dignity of their guests while focusing attention on the food-waste problem by turning foods that were otherwise going to be headed toward rubbish bins into Michelin Guide-worthy meals.
Botura first thought of Refettorio Ambrosiano as a pop-up concept for the 2015 World Expo in Milan. The organizers had invited him to cook for the grand opening. Bottura proposed something different. He wanted to invite the world’s best chefs to cook with him for the city’s homeless,using leftovers. That idea soon got supported and turned into something more permanent.
Today the Refettorio is “a movement,” Bottura says. “It is a model for fighting food waste and isolation on the front lines. And it starts by looking at an old carrot or a piece of hard bread and catching sight of gold.”
4. How do the Refettorio Ambrosianos differ from Bottura’s other restaurants?
A. The waiters are well-trained.
B. The tables are custom-made.
C. They are three-Michelin-starred.
D. Daily delivery decides the set menu.
5. Which of the following best describes the event at Refettorio Ambrosiano?
A. An evening gathering for local chefs. B. A charity sale of supermarket castoffs
C. A wealthy meal for the less-fortunate. D. A volunteer training for the homeless
6. What does Bottura think of the Refettorio?
A. It’s his best profitable restaurant.
B. It’s a good project for food safety.
C. It’s a pop-up concept to extend his business.
D. It’s win-win for the environment and society.
7. Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Less Waste, More Taste. B. A Dinner of Dignity
C. Best Restaurant, Best Service. D. The Power of Food
【答案】4. D5. C6. D7. A

【4題詳解】
細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段中“The set menu changes every day, depending on what comes in with the morning’s delivery.(套餐每天都在變化,這取決于早上送來(lái)的是什么。)”可知,Refettorio Ambrosianos餐廳與Bottura的其他餐廳的不同之處在于套餐是由每天的送貨來(lái)決定的。故選D。

There’s another universe not far from land. It lacks buildings, trees, cars, cellphones and the Internet. Seemingly limitless water extends uninterruptedly in all directions. Civilization goes away, along with any sign of humanity. And it is why I’m really into sailing. I grew up around boats. My father liked sailing and built them. My older sister and I were stuffed into a car nearly every summer weekend until my late teens to make the trip from northeast Indiana to the south shore of Lake Erie in Ohio, where Talisman built by my father waited patiently through the week.
As a kid, I read the adventures of Robin Lee Graham, a traveller exploring the sea alone, in the pages of National Geographic and, later, in Graham's book, Dove. However, it wasn't until about 20 years ago, well into my adulthood, that I took up sailing in a serious way. I've made voyages in fair stormy and weather, on my own boats and those of my friends, and ranging from nearshore day sails to blue-water passages.
Still, I've made plenty of mistakes. While living in Asia, a sailing friend and I set off across the South China Sea and intended to get to Thailand, only to be pushed by a late-season typhoon that forced us to make landfall in Vietnam, glad to be alive.
Years later, my wife and I lived aboard our 37-foot ship, Symbiosis, while we saved enough to take a two-year leave from our jobs to journey down the U.S. Atlantic coast and through the Bahamas and the Caribbean. We visited many places that never see ships or airplanes and that are nearly impossible to reach anyway other than at the helm(舵柄) of a small boat. But boats are expensive and time-consuming. After returning from the Caribbean a few years ago, we decided to sell Symbiosis, resolving instead to sail only “other people's boats”. It didn't last, though. A few months ago, we found a good deal on a smaller sailboat—easier to maintain but still capable of some short offshore journeys. I think we'll name her Talisman.
24.What would the author do on summer weekends as a kid?
A.He would help his father build Talisman.
B.He would sail with his father and his sister.
C.He would explore northeast Indiana in a car.
D.He would bring human civilization to sailing.
25.What can we learn about the book Dove?
A.It has something to do with exploring the sea.
B.It was published in National Geographic.
C.It is the most famous work by Graham.
D.It was an inspiration for the author's writing.
26.Why did the author sell his ship Symbiosis?
A.It didn’t function well. B.He couldn’t afford to maintain it.
C.He found a better one to replace it. D.It was damaged seriously during a storm.
27.What is the author’s main purpose in writing the text?
A.To show his passion for sailing boats.
B.To stress the influence of adventures on him.
C.To discuss the problems of sailing on the sea.
D.To share his success in exploring the world.

24.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段的“My father liked sailing and built them. My older sister and I were stuffed into a car nearly every summer weekend until my late teens to make the trip from northeast Indiana to the south shore of Lake Erie in Ohio… through the week(我父親喜歡帆船,于是造了它們。幾乎每個(gè)夏天的周末,我和妹妹都被塞進(jìn)一輛車?yán)?,從印第安納州東北部前往俄亥俄州的伊利湖南岸,父親制造的Talisman在那里耐心地等待了整整一個(gè)星期。)”可知,作者小時(shí)候會(huì)在夏天的周末與父親和妹妹一起航海。故選B。
25.推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段的“As a kid, I read the adventures of Robin Lee Graham, a traveller exploring the sea alone, in the pages of National Geographic and, later, in Graham's book, Dove.( 小時(shí)候,我讀過(guò)《國(guó)家地理》雜志上的羅賓·李·格雷厄姆的冒險(xiǎn)故事,他是一位獨(dú)自探索海洋的旅行者,后來(lái)又讀過(guò)格雷厄姆的書《鴿子》。)”可推斷,這本書與海上探索有關(guān)。故選A。
26.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段的“But boats are expensive and time-consuming.

27.推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第一段“And it is why I’m really into sailing.(這就是我喜歡航海的原因。)”和下文的描述可知,作者寫這篇文章的目的是通過(guò)記敘自己的過(guò)往,展現(xiàn)出對(duì)航海的激情。故選A。

“Are you OK, Cassie?” Jonah asked, from the doorway of the Sea Holly Cafe.
Cassie had been sitting on a chair outside for the past 10 minutes, but not really taking in the beauty of the sea.
“Oh, I should be getting back to work.” She rose hurriedly.
“We’re not busy, take your time.” Jonah came with a cappuccino for her. “Thanks.” She accepted the coffee, “Everything’s fine.” Then Jonah nodded, revealing a comforting smile, and went back inside.
He was a great boss, but Cassie didn’t feel like telling him what was wrong.
Cassie had gone to study fine art hopefully but dropped out after only a year due to the unbearable homesickness. Since then, she hadn’t touched her paints for a whole year. Today was doomed to be a sad date, the anniversary of her exciting plans turning to dust. She felt a crushing sense of disappointment. In her painting, she had captured a good likeness of the cloudy sky and the reflection of the dying light upon the water, but the picture did have a sad, dreary (沉悶的) quality.
About 20 minutes later, she was shocked by a voice at her shoulder, “That’s beautiful.”
Cassie turned, and there was a woman wearing a blue coat. The woman eyed it again. “You have talent, but there is much sadness in it, for one so young.” Cassie’s eyes were filled with tears. “My name’s Willow,” the woman said kindly, “Why not try painting the sunrise instead, my dear? You might find it helps.”
With Willow’s words echoing in her brain, Cassie rose an hour earlier the next day, caught a bus to the beach and began to paint again.
When she finished, Jonah was just opening up. He picked the painting up and appreciated it at eye height. “Hey, this is good. It’s really —“For a moment he struggled for the word, then found it and turned to her, beaming, “Optimistic!”
In her picture the sun was powering into the sky, casting a clear, golden pathway across the sea.
24.Which of the following best explains “He was a great boss” underlined in paragraph 5?
A.Jonah offered a coffee to Cassie.
B.Jonah ran a successful cafe business.
C.Jonah figured out what was wrong with Cassie.
D.Jonah was considerate of Cassie’s emotional upset.
25.What led to Cassie’s low spirits?
A.That her paints were covered with dust.
B.That her homesickness was aroused again.
C.That her original plan was abandoned midway.
D.That her painting was full of a sorrowful and dull quality.
26.Why did Willow advise Cassie to paint the sunrise?
A.It was more beautiful. B.It might cheer Cassie up.
C.It had artistic inspiration. D.It made a difference to Willow.
27.What can be a suitable title for the passage?
A.The Sun Always Rises B.Every Man Has Its Price
C.Strike While the Iron Is Hot D.A Good Medicine Tastes Bitter
【答案】24.D 25.C 26.B 27.A
【導(dǎo)語(yǔ)】這是一篇記敘文。講述了Cassie在離開(kāi)藝術(shù)學(xué)校一周年這天心情低落,但被一個(gè)陌生人開(kāi)導(dǎo)后,通過(guò)畫日出再次對(duì)生活產(chǎn)生樂(lè)觀心態(tài)的故事。
24.推理判斷題。第四段““We’re not busy, take your time.” Jonah came with a cappuccino for her. “Thanks.” She accepted the coffee, “Everything’s fine.” Then Jonah nodded, revealing a comforting smile, and went back inside. (“我們不忙,慢慢來(lái)?!眴碳{給她端來(lái)一杯卡布奇諾?!爸x謝?!彼邮芰丝Х?,“一切都很好?!比缓髥碳{點(diǎn)了點(diǎn)頭,露出安慰的微笑,然后回到了里面。)”,可知Jonah作為老板很體貼,注意到Cassie的情緒不安,并給予安慰。故選D項(xiàng)。
25.推理判斷題。根據(jù)第六段前三句“Cassie had gone to study fine art hopefully but dropped out after only a year due to the unbearable homesickness. Since then, she hadn’t touched her paints for a whole year. Today was doomed to be a sad date, the anniversary of her exciting plans turning to dust. (卡西滿懷希望地去學(xué)習(xí)美術(shù),但由于難以忍受的思鄉(xiāng)之情,一年后就退學(xué)了。從那以后,她整整一年沒(méi)有碰過(guò)顏料。今天注定是一個(gè)悲傷的日子,她激動(dòng)人心的計(jì)劃的周年紀(jì)念日變成了塵埃。)”可知,Cassie原本滿懷希望去藝術(shù)學(xué)校學(xué)畫畫,但因想家甚而輟學(xué)。而“今天”是她輟學(xué)一周年的日子,也意味著她學(xué)習(xí)美術(shù)的計(jì)劃中途停止,成了灰燼,所以Cassie情緒不高。故選C項(xiàng)。
26.推理判斷題。根據(jù)第八段女士說(shuō)的話““You have talent, but there is much sadness in it, for one so young.” Cassie’s eyes were filled with tears. “My name’s Willow,” the woman said kindly, “Why not try painting the sunrise instead, my dear?

27.主旨大意題。根據(jù)最后一段“In her picture the sun was powering into the sky, casting a clear, golden pathway across the sea. (在她的照片中,太陽(yáng)直射天空,在海面上投射出一條清晰、金色的路徑。)”可知,這張關(guān)于日出的圖,充滿了希望,這給予了Cassie重新獲得對(duì)生活的積極的態(tài)度,故sunrise“日出”是文章中重要的意象。又因?yàn)閹讉€(gè)選項(xiàng)的意思如下:選項(xiàng)A“The Sun Always Rises (太陽(yáng)照常升起)”;選項(xiàng)B“Every Man Has Its Price(天生我材必有用)”;選項(xiàng)C選項(xiàng)“Strike While the Iron Is Hot (趁熱打鐵)”;選項(xiàng)D“A Good Medicine Tastes Bitter (良藥苦口)”。故選A項(xiàng)。

Sometimes people can find new interest in old things. For me, it was discovering a love for ballet more than 15 years after I first started training.
My parents put me in ballet classes as a young girl and I just sort of kept going. I don’t know I had any particular passion for it. I quitted. It felt like I was slowly closing a chapter in my life, with no particular sorrow about the matter.
Years later, something, maybe boredom, led me to a decision to start classes at a studio, where I met a group of middle-aged ballet lovers, all of them starting ballet as adults.
Stepping into the ballet studio again unearthed a whole set of unexpected feelings. I wasn’t strong or flexible enough to accomplish moves that used to be second nature. I had to stop to adjust my breath after each combination in the center. Mostly, I felt ashamed. But those women cheered me on. The longer I watched them in class, the more I was moved. This was the point staring me right in the face—it didn’t matter; they just loved to dance. Their passion for ballet helped me see it in a new light. It didn’t need to be competitive; it was something people did for fun, no matter what their skill level is. Slowly, it began to feel challenging in a good way. I started having fun. I’ve found that when we dance, it’s an exercise in directing our energy to a number of different areas.
When we stepped on stage for our year-end performance, I felt the effects of that sustained attention and my body flowed through well-practiced movements. I was totally lost in bright stage lights and felt the whole world belonged to me. After the performance, one of the audience came to me and remarked, “Wow, I can tell you really like to dance!” I smiled and nodded. It was true.
4. What did the author think of ballet at first?
A. It opened a new page in her life.
B. It required great determination.
C. It killed her passion for dance.
D. It made little difference to her.
5. What inspired the author’s interest in ballet?
A. Her parents’ encouragement.
B. The easy atmosphere in class.
C. Other dancers’ love for ballet.
D. Modern instruments in the studio.
6. What can best describe the yearend performance?
A. Satisfactory. B. Improvable.

Shirley started to volunteer each Saturday. As she got to know the homeless, they often praised her makeup, hair, and style. She started to offer to “make up” the homeless. They loved it, she loved it, they loved her and she loved them. She found purpose. So she started an outdoor beauty salon to serve the homeless, which took most of her spare time.

She formed her nonprofit Beauty 2 The Streetz, and her followers quickly began donating to grow Shirley’s impact. Her followers grew to over 200,000 people, including many beauty professionals such as licensed hairstylists, barbers, make-up artists.

1.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一自然段“She is the founder of Beauty 2 The Streetz, a nonprofit that provides free food, clothing, hair, and makeup services to the homeless. (她是Beauty 2 the Streetz的創(chuàng)始人,這是一家非營(yíng)利組織,為無(wú)家可歸者提供免費(fèi)的食物、衣服、發(fā)型和化妝服務(wù)。)”可知,Beauty 2 the Streetz旨在以若干方式為流浪者服務(wù)。故選B。
2.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四自然段內(nèi)容尤其最后一句“So she started an outdoor beauty salon to serve the homeless, which took most of her spare time.(于是,她開(kāi)了一家戶外美容院,為無(wú)家可歸的人服務(wù),這占用了她大部分的業(yè)余時(shí)間。)”可知,Shirley主要通過(guò)為流浪者打扮來(lái)幫助他們。故選A。
3.主旨大意題。根據(jù)第五自然段“Things took off. She formed her nonprofit Beauty 2 The Streetz, and her followers quickly began donating to grow Shirley’s impact. Her followers grew to over 200,000 people, including many beauty professionals such as licensed hairstylists, barbers, make-up artists. Many of them regularly donate money to keep the services rolling. Others donate their time to help Shirley serve the homeless.(事情進(jìn)展順利。她成立了自己的非營(yíng)利組織。Beauty 2 The Streetz和她的追隨者很快開(kāi)始捐款,以擴(kuò)大Shirley的影響力。她的追隨者已經(jīng)發(fā)展到20多萬(wàn)人,其中包括許多美容專業(yè)人士,如有執(zhí)照的發(fā)型師、理發(fā)師、化妝師。他們中的許多人定期捐款來(lái)維持服務(wù)的運(yùn)轉(zhuǎn)。其他人則捐出自己的時(shí)間來(lái)幫助Shirley為無(wú)家可歸的人服務(wù)。)”可知,本段主要講述Shirley在建立Beauty 2 The Streetz后,該非盈利組織獲得了越來(lái)越多的人的支持與幫助。由此可知,第五段主要介紹了Beauty 2 The Streetz日益增長(zhǎng)的影響力。故選D。

(Shirley的大膽、勇氣和采取行動(dòng)的愿望對(duì)人們的生活產(chǎn)生了真正的影響。)”可知,她是一個(gè)有愛(ài)心的人。故選C。
(2023·內(nèi)蒙古呼和浩特·統(tǒng)考一模) “Did you forget your name?” someone asked me at a networking event a few years ago after it took me almost a minute to say it. “No, I stutter (口吃),” I politely replied. This is what I have to face every day. So I wasn’t upset.
I’ve stuttered since I was three years old. In my case, stuttering usually shows itself in terms of repetitions: “My name is S-S-S-S-Samuel.” Instead of being unhappy about the experience at the networking event, I felt proud that I’d brought up my stuttering. But I wasn’t always so forthcoming about it. When I was growing up, I hardly spoke. Whether it was at school or at work, I avoided most social situations out of embarrassment and fear of being laughed at.
But things became different after I attended the National Stuttering Association meeting, the largest gathering of stutterers worldwide. It was the first time I’d met so many other professionals who stutter—lawyers, doctors, actors, etc.—all in one place. To my surprise, everyone spoke without fear or embarrassment. In fact, they were proud. Stuttering was celebrated. That was when I first realized that stuttering isn’t something to be ashamed of. It’s just something I happen to do, and that’s okay.
The change didn’t happen overnight, but over the last eight years, I’ve started to bring up my stuttering more. I’ve talked to friends and co-workers. I’ve mentioned it in every organization I’ve worked for. And when I talk about it with others, it encourages them to open up, too. My stuttering has allowed me to connect with others and develop stronger ties with them.
Don’t get me wrong. It’s still frustrating when I know exactly what I want to say but I just can’t seem to get the words out of my mouth. But today I don’t let my stuttering hold me back. Instead, I let it push me forward and help me make progress.
5.By saying “I wasn’t always so forthcoming about it”, the author means ________.
A.he was once an outgoing person
B.he regretted talking about his stuttering
C.he used to avoid opening up about his stuttering
D.he was unwilling to receive comments on his speech
6.How did the National Stuttering Association meeting influence the author?
A.He began to make friends with stutterers.
B.He learned some skills at stopping stuttering there.
C.It made him focus his attention on good comments.
D.The confident stutterers changed his attitude to stuttering.
7.What happened after the author started bringing up his stuttering?
A.He has improved his work performance.
B.He became popular among his co-workers.
C.He learned to express himself with simple words.
D.He was able to build a close relationship with others.
8.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A.The power of accepting my stutter B.The challenge from normal people
C.Special ways to live with stuttering D.My experience of overcoming stuttering
【答案】5.C????6.D????7.D????8.A

5.推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第二段中本句后文“When I was growing up, I hardly spoke. Whether it was at school or at work, I avoided most social situations out of embarrassment and fear of being laughed at.(在我成長(zhǎng)過(guò)程中,我很少說(shuō)話。無(wú)論是在學(xué)校還是在工作中,因害怕尷尬和被嘲笑,我會(huì)去避免社交。)”可知,作者的意思是他過(guò)去常常避免提及自己口吃的事情,也因?yàn)楹ε聦擂魏捅怀靶Γ苊馍缃?,故選C。
6.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第三段“That was when I first realized that stuttering isn’t something to be ashamed of.

8.主旨大意題。通讀全文,尤其文章最后一段“But today I don’t let my stuttering hold me back. Instead, I let it push me forward and help me make progress.(但是今天,我不再讓我的口吃阻止我。相反,我讓它推動(dòng)我前進(jìn),幫助我取得進(jìn)步。)”可知,本文主要講述了作者因?yàn)榭诔远辉敢馀c人交流,但在加入了全國(guó)口吃協(xié)會(huì)之后,接受了自己的口吃,作者變得自信,不再逃避與人交流,且與人聯(lián)系緊密起來(lái),在生活中取得了很多進(jìn)步。故A項(xiàng)“接受口吃的力量”符合文章標(biāo)題,故選A。
(2023·河南開(kāi)封·統(tǒng)考二模)Rural Patagonia is famous for its wonderful nature. A Google search for “bicycle tour Patagonia”??led my friend Rachel and me to the Carretera Austral:??a 770-mile stretch of mostly unpaved highway. We packed our bikes into hoxes and flew to Puerto Montt, a port city some 650 miles south of Santiago. From there, we continued south for several days and set foot on the Carretera.
It took about two weeks to cycle the route through wild forests, windswept plains, and snow-capped mountains. On our last full day along the Carretera-and three days into a constant rainstorm-we found ourselves at a loss for where to sleep. We were cold and wet.
We were still 30 miles from Villa O’Higgins, which marked the end of the Carretera and the promise of a hot shower. From there,??we’d ride about 600 miles further along somewhat better roads to Ushuaia.
There was no way we were going to make O’Higgins by nightfall. We hadn’t passed a nice campsite in hours. We’d just stopped beside a small stream when we spotted a cowboy-looking man walking out of the trees. And we saw that the stream led to a small house. The man came to the road. “Do you know a dry place to camp?” Rachel asked.
The man invited us into his home. We shared hot chocolate and conversation in his warm, rough kitchen. He brought out an old copy of Patagon Journal, and we were amazed to see a photo of our host, Erasmo Betancourt, on the cover. It turns out that our new friend was a well-known cowboy-turned-activist who had been an outspoken opponent of the damming(筑壩)of Patagonia's rivers. In recent decades, local farmers, fishermen, and conservationists have fiercely resisted the construction of hydroelectric(使用水力發(fā)電的)dams on the region's mighty rivers. Our adventure wouldn’t have been possible if not for their fierce love of this beautiful land and devotion to its protection.
The next morning, we thanked our host and hit the road. Is there anywhere on Earth so remote that one cannot encounter humanity?
9.Where were the author and Rachel headed the next day?
A.Ushuaia. B.Santiago.
C.Puerto Montt. D.Villa O’Higgins.
10.What was the major problem facing the author and Rachel that night?
A.Where to find a dry campsite.
B.How to satisfy their hunger.
C.How to find their way in the forest.
D.Where to get some drinking water.
11.What was Betancourt’s attitude to building hydroelectric dams on Patagonia’s rivers?
A.Supportive. B.Disapproving.
C.Tolerant. D.Uncertain.
12.What is the best title for the text?
A.Dams on mighty rivers ruined our adventure.
B.A bicycle tour of Patagonia revealed nature to us.
C.A cowboy-turned-activist saved Patagonia’s rivers.
D.We encountered kindness in one of the wildest places on Earth.
【答案】9.C????10.A????11.B????12.D

(2023·河北石家莊·高三石家莊二中??茧A段練習(xí))As Grammy-winning violinist Mads Tolling played for parents of children receiving treatment at Comer Children’s Hospital, Jamie Freedlund spotted a mother who was just taking it all in — she was listening and there were just tears streaming down her face.
Tolling was invited to play by a charity called Mattea’s Joy, founded by Jamie and her husband, Gary. The non-profit provides dinner, snack boxes and other support for families with hospitalized children.
The Freedlunds founded Mattea’s Joy in honor of their daughter Mattea Joy Freedlund, who battled a variety of health challenges during her short but impactful life and died in 2010.
An insurance had been planned for the family before Mattea’s passing and the pair decided to use the money to cook meals for families whose children were hospitalized at Comer Children’s Hospital. Soon the dinners became a regular occurrence and their non-profit organization was born. Its mission is to provide care and comfort to families just like them.
Mattea’s Joy’s current projects include serving dinner to about 100 families a month, distributing snack boxes to hospitals, and providing packets filled with gift cards and parking passes.
Reese Freedlund, 15, was just 3 years old when her sister Mattea passed away. Their memory of Mattea lives on in her family’s volunteer work, which is impressed into everything they do. “Mattea’s Joy has really become a part of our lives,” said Reese. “Even though she passed away, her life was an inspiration for my parents to create something more out of it.”
Since Mattea’s passing, the Freedlunds have added two boys to their family, Cooper, 11, and Kipton, 7.??Cooper has learned valuable lessons from helping families through the organization. “Mattea’s Joy has taught me to always serve others and to just be kind,” said Cooper.
13.Why was Mads Tolling mentioned in the first paragraph?
A.To introduce the topic. B.To put forward a concept.
C.To present a common scene. D.To provide background information.
14.What are the Freedlunds like?
A.They can relate to others. B.They have a gift for music.
C.They are easily persuaded. D.They can seize opportunities.
15.What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs?
A.Mattea Joy’s death remains a mystery.
B.The Freedlunds spent all their spare time volunteering.
C.Working for Mattea’s Joy benefits the Freedlunds’ kids.
D.Reese Freedlund was inspired to create a new organization.
16.What is the best title of the text?

13.推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第一段“As Grammy-winning violinist Mads Tolling played for parents of children receiving treatment at Comer Children’s Hospital, Jamie Freedlund spotted a mother who was just taking it all in — she was listening and there were just tears streaming down her face.(當(dāng)格萊美獲獎(jiǎng)小提琴家麥茲·托林在科默兒童醫(yī)院為接受治療的孩子的父母演奏時(shí),杰米·弗里蘭德發(fā)現(xiàn)一位母親正在接受這一切——她在聽(tīng),眼淚從臉上流下來(lái))”可知,本文的故事背景應(yīng)該和兒童醫(yī)院有關(guān)系,所以第一段提到麥茲·托林是為了為下文的故事提供背景信息。故選D項(xiàng)。
14.推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第三段“The Freedlunds founded Mattea’s Joy in honor of their daughter Mattea Joy Freedlund, who battled a variety of health challenges during her short but impactful life and died in 2010.(弗里倫德夫婦為了紀(jì)念他們的女兒瑪特婭·喬伊·弗里倫德而創(chuàng)立了“瑪特婭的快樂(lè)”,她在短暫但有影響力的一生中與各種健康挑戰(zhàn)作斗爭(zhēng),并于2010年去世)”可知,弗里倫德夫婦在女兒去世后創(chuàng)立非盈利組織來(lái)幫助更多的人,說(shuō)明弗里倫德夫婦是可以抓住機(jī)會(huì)的。故選D項(xiàng)。
15.推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章倒數(shù)第二段““Mattea’s Joy has really become a part of our lives,” said Reese. “Even though she passed away, her life was an inspiration for my parents to create something more out of it.”(“Mattea’s Joy 真的已經(jīng)成為我們生活的一部分,”里斯說(shuō)?!半m然她去世了,但她的一生激勵(lì)著我的父母去創(chuàng)造更多的東西?!?”和最后一段“Cooper has learned valuable lessons from helping families through the organization. “Mattea’s Joy has taught me to always serve others and to just be kind,” said Cooper.(庫(kù)珀在通過(guò)該組織幫助家庭的過(guò)程中學(xué)到了寶貴的經(jīng)驗(yàn)?!癕attea’s Joy 教會(huì)了我永遠(yuǎn)要為他人服務(wù),要善良,”庫(kù)珀說(shuō))”可知,為Mattea’s Joy工作使弗里倫德夫婦的孩子們受益。故選C項(xiàng)。
16.主旨大意題。分析全文內(nèi)容可知,文章主要講述了弗里倫德夫婦在女兒去世后創(chuàng)立非盈利組織Mattea’s Joy為像他們這樣的家庭提供照顧和安慰的故事。由此可知,B選項(xiàng)“從失去中產(chǎn)生的善舉”能概括全文內(nèi)容,適合用作標(biāo)題。故選B項(xiàng)。
(2023·湖南岳陽(yáng)·統(tǒng)考二模)As a writer and game designer, I’ve spent most of the past 30 years trying to do various types of creative work while sitting or standing at a computer keyboard. The power of those devices has grown exponentially, enabling me with a click or a keystroke to create wonders that would have been unimaginable just a few years ago.
And yet I’ve been increasingly confused to realize that the productivity such as words written, problems solved, hasn’t increased one bit with the improvement of my tools.
For a long time I tried to talk myself out of this. I figured that if my computer time didn’t work efficiently, it was because I didn’t have the right software, or wasn’t using it right. I created keyboard shortcuts. I downloaded apps to track time I spent using other apps. Nothing changed the basic observed fact: I was still trapped in the state of low productivity.
For myself, I’ve found that I spend the vast majority of my working computer time staring at the screen in a state of mind that ranges from “passive” to “somewhat productive, ” and in which a few minutes can stretch unnoticed into a quarter-hour, or a couple of hours. During this process, I cheat myself into believing that because I am at my desk, at my computer, I am therefore working.
It’s so easy to move words and sentences around in Word or Scrivener or Final Draft that it feels like writing, even if what I’m actually doing would rate only a 2 on the scale in which 10 is “getting an idea and writing it down. ” That is why I now keep my project notes and journals in actual notebooks. I’ve even switched to paper for my “to-do lists,” and cross off action items literally. It’s simpler and I get more done this way.
17.What do the underlined words “exponentially” mean in paragraph 1?
A.Rapidly
B.Silently

A.He avoided facing the reality of his work habits.
B.He usually chooses the simplest way to accomplish tasks.
C.He is able to learn new skills and computer programs quickly.
D.He was proud of his ability to master the use of high-tech tools.
19.What can be inferred from paragraph 4?
A.The author can focus on finishing the task at his computer.
B.The author may reduce working efficiency with longer screen time.
C.The author can be extremely productive when working at computer.
D.The author can work longer time with high efficiency at his computer.
20.What is the author’s current attitude towards writing down an idea by computer?
A.Supportive
B.Indifferent
C.Unfavorable
D.Objective
【答案】17.A????18.A????19.B????20.C
【導(dǎo)語(yǔ)】本文是一篇記敘文。作者通過(guò)自己的經(jīng)歷告訴我們電腦并不能提升效率,相反把東西記在紙質(zhì)筆記本上更簡(jiǎn)單有效。
17.詞句猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)劃線詞所在句“The power of those devices has grown exponentially, enabling me with a click or a keystroke to create wonders that would have been unimaginable just a few years ago.(這些設(shè)備的功能exponentially增長(zhǎng),使我能夠通過(guò)點(diǎn)擊或敲擊鍵盤來(lái)創(chuàng)造奇跡,這在幾年前是無(wú)法想象的)”中“enabling me with a click or a keystroke to create wonders that would have been unimaginable just a few years ago”可知,這些設(shè)備現(xiàn)在的能力的能力是以前無(wú)法想象的,由此推知,劃線詞是指“快速地,迅速地”,與rapidly同義。故選A項(xiàng)。
18.推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段中“For a long time I tried to talk myself out of this. I figured that if my computer time didn’t work efficiently, it was because I didn’t have the right software, or wasn’t using it right. I created keyboard shortcuts. I downloaded apps to track time I spent using other apps.(在很長(zhǎng)一段時(shí)間里,我試圖說(shuō)服自己不要這樣想。我想,如果我使用電腦的時(shí)間不高效,那是因?yàn)槲覜](méi)有使用正確的軟件,或者沒(méi)有正確地使用它。我創(chuàng)建了快捷鍵。我下載了一些應(yīng)用程序來(lái)記錄我使用其他應(yīng)用程序的時(shí)間)”可推知,作者在第三段中表明他最初不愿意接受自己工作效率低的現(xiàn)實(shí),不愿意承認(rèn)工作習(xí)慣有問(wèn)題的現(xiàn)實(shí)。故選A項(xiàng)。
19.推理判斷題。根據(jù)第四段中“For myself, I’ve found that I spend the vast majority of my working computer time staring at the screen in a state of mind that ranges from “passive” to “somewhat productive, ” and in which a few minutes can stretch unnoticed into a quarter-hour, or a couple of hours.

20.推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段中“That is why I now keep my project notes and journals in actual notebooks. I’ve even switched to paper for my ‘to-do lists,’ and cross off action items literally. It’s simpler and I get more done this way.(這就是為什么我現(xiàn)在把我的項(xiàng)目筆記和日記保存在真正的筆記本上。我甚至把我的“任務(wù)清單”換成了紙,然后逐字劃掉。這樣更簡(jiǎn)單,我能完成更多的工作。)”可知,作者現(xiàn)在把東西都寫在真正的紙質(zhì)筆記本上,認(rèn)為這樣更簡(jiǎn)單有效,說(shuō)明他不喜歡“用電腦記錄想法”。故選C項(xiàng)。
