Under the weight f cncern frm the peple in line behind me, I felt a grwing bligatin t minimize the secnds between clicks. Finally it was time t slide in a credit card. The machine didn't take it. “Try putting it in the ther way,” the gentleman behind me suggested. N gd.
“I've gt a different card,” I said, and fished arund fr that ne, beginning t sweat. The machine wanted a PIN, but nt the ne I suggested.
“Start ver,”I clicked, intending t try the first card again.
Oh n. I had t start all ver again.
“I'm srry,“ I said, lking back, sheepish. “I guess I dn't knw what I'm ding. Yu all g ahead.”
“Dn't give up,” said the nice man behind me.“ Try it again. We're all friends here, right?”
Smiles were blming(綻放)all dwn the line. I tried again, clicked with deliberatin and sincerity, and intrduced my credit card as thugh I were presenting it t the queen. Finally, I made it!
I culdn't have been happier. Everyne burst int applause. Cmfrt and jy!

（2023上·天津·高三天津市第四十七中學(xué)?？茧A段練習(xí)）I just flew frm Berlin, Germany, t Atlanta, Gergia, and it tk me 24 hurs due t the weather-related delay during my stpver in New Yrk. Like many ther passengers, I was s wrn ut, annyed, and helpless that I culd barely hld it tgether.
The pilt, called Thierry Beyeler, was different. He left the flight deck and walked t the dissatisfied passengers t aplgize and cmfrt them. The pilt’s apprpriate behavir set the tne and ensured n ne gt angry. It reminded me f the beauty f “elegance under pressure”. Thierry Beyeler was a pilt with Swiss Internatinal Air Lines, fr which he flew varius aircraft. During the delay, I had the chance t speak t Beyeler and learn abut his experience as a pilt.
He said, “Flying is a bit like eating chclate. I lve every flight. Hwever, when yu have16 flights in fur days, then that’s t much chclate fr me...”. As fr crisis situatins, he did have a few: “Once, I had an engine failure, but that’s rare, and we handled it. Anther time, we had smke in the cabin (機(jī)艙), and we went t land quickly. In the end, it was just the air cnditining having sme prblems…” He believes, “As Murphy’s law puts it, ‘What can g wrng will g wrng’. S think abut it and try t prepare mentally.”
Beyeler cntinued, “Cmpared with cars, a flight is a high-risk envirnment; it’s nt like riding a bike. Even if there was a minr errr, it culd have fatal cnsequences. Every pilt is quite prfessinal in the field. But it is the strng mindset in the chas that plays the key rle. Humans intervene in technical systems t slve prblems cuntless times a day, and it wuld be dangerus if the pilt became nervus and frgt that.”
I’ve been tuched by Beyeler’s wrds. I understand that human factrs, including cnfidence, curage, respnsibility, and emtinal intelligence, are becming mre and mre imprtant in tday’s wrld.

【導(dǎo)語】本文是一篇記敘文。文章主要講述了Jasmine Ch用烘焙技術(shù)制作餅干，設(shè)計(jì)餅干肖像，促進(jìn)亞裔美國文化。
1．細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段“Later, Ch realized her secnd passin: learning mre abut her Asian, American culture. An elective in cllege that taught Asian-American immigrant experiences brught an emtinal mment fr her. “S many emtins came up that I just culdn’t articulate. It was like this mix f anger, f relief, empwerment, sadness...” Ch said. (后來，Ch意識到她的第二個愛好：更多地了解她的亞洲和美國文化。大學(xué)里一門教授亞裔美國移民經(jīng)歷的選修課讓她動情。“太多的情緒涌上心頭，我無法表達(dá)。就像是憤怒、解脫、賦權(quán)、悲傷的混合體……” Ch說。)”可知，Ch在大學(xué)選修的一門課激發(fā)了她對亞裔美國文化的興趣。故選B。
2．詞句猜測題。根據(jù)后文“It was like this mix f anger, f relief, empwerment, sadness...(就像是憤怒、解脫、賦權(quán)、悲傷的混合體……)”可知，Jasmine Ch的情緒很復(fù)雜，所以無法表達(dá)，推知articulate為“表達(dá)”之意，和C項(xiàng)意思相近。故選C項(xiàng)。
3．細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第五段“Ch realized she culd cmbine these tw passins t educate thers abut influential Asian American peple and shwcase matters that were imprtant t her. With her nline bakery, she designed ckie prtraits abut peple she admired and psted the images n Instagram. “I dn’t think I ever really knew hw t cmmunicate these stries until I fund ckies,” Ch said. “Ckies are just s disarming. Wh desn’t like ckies?” (Ch意識到，她可以把這兩種激情結(jié)合起來，教育其他人了解有影響力的亞裔美國人，并展示對她來說很重要的事情。在她的網(wǎng)上面包店，她設(shè)計(jì)了她崇拜的人的餅干肖像，并將這些照片發(fā)布在Instagram上?！霸谖野l(fā)現(xiàn)餅干之前，我一直不知道如何傳達(dá)這些故事，”Ch說?！帮灨烧娴暮茏屓朔潘伞Ｕl不喜歡餅干？”)”可知，Ch認(rèn)為餅干是促進(jìn)亞裔美國文化的有用工具是因?yàn)樵S多人喜歡餅干。故選D項(xiàng)。
4．推理判斷題。根據(jù)第六段“One ckie that Ch has identified with deeply is ne she made f Gerge Helm, a Hawaiian activist in the 1970s.(有一種餅干讓Ch產(chǎn)生了深刻的共鳴，那就是她在20世紀(jì)70年代以夏威夷活動家Gerge Helm的肖像制作的餅干。)”以及第七段“Ch said, “Gerge Helm was ne f thse activists wh really represented the spirituality f the native Hawaiians and the cnnectin t their land, t nature.”(Ch說，“Gerge Helm是那些真正代表夏威夷原住民精神以及與他們的土地和自然聯(lián)系的活動家之一?！?”可推斷，作者在文中提到Gerge Helm的目的是為了用其肖像餅干來展示Ch專注于（傳遞）什么知識。故選B項(xiàng)。
5．主旨大意題。根據(jù)最后一段““Instead f trying t think f smething new and riginal, just lk inward and see, maybe there’s already a passin r a lve that yu have,” Ch said. “Use that fr smething that will serve the wrld in a better way.”(“不要試圖去想一些新的和原創(chuàng)的東西，只要向內(nèi)看，看看，也許你已經(jīng)有了一種激情或愛，”Ch說。“用它來做一些能更好地為世界服務(wù)的事情。”)”及全文可知，Jasmine Ch通過自己的愛好，更好地為世界服務(wù)。所以D項(xiàng)“Thrw yurself int yur inner wrld fr a better ne. (投身于你的內(nèi)心世界，以發(fā)現(xiàn)一個更好的世界)”能最好地概括文章中的信息。故選D項(xiàng)。
6．D 7．C 8．C 9．A 10．C
【導(dǎo)語】本文為一篇記敘文。主要講述了作者在生活中遭遇磨難時(shí)在遛狗中悟出生活的哲理——盡管有時(shí)生活艱難、前途難測，但人生總有希望和快樂。
6．詞句猜測題。根據(jù)第一段中的“When my daughter was ten, she and my husband Je, were united in their desire fr a dg. (我女兒十歲的時(shí)候，她和我丈夫喬都想要一只狗。)”可知，作者的丈夫和他們的女兒都想養(yǎng)只狗，結(jié)合下文中的 ““But we’ll d it.” “Really? Yu’re ging t walk the dg? Feed the dg? Bathe the dg?” “Yes, we prmise.””(“但我們會這么做的?！薄罢娴膯?你要去遛狗?喂狗?給狗洗澡?“是的，我們保證。”)”可知，他們承諾遛狗，喂狗，給狗洗澡，由此可知，他們很想養(yǎng)一只狗，結(jié)合劃線句子后的“because I have n time t take care f a dg.(因?yàn)槲覜]時(shí)間照顧狗。)”可知，作者沒時(shí)間照顧狗，綜合以上信息可知，作者丈夫和孩子很想養(yǎng)狗，并且承諾自己照顧狗，而作者因?yàn)闆]有時(shí)間照顧狗，所以不同意養(yǎng)狗，故劃線句子的意思應(yīng)與“不同意養(yǎng)狗”相近。故選D項(xiàng)。
7．推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段中的“Quickly, we develped smething f a Vulcan mind meld (心靈融合). She’d lk at me with thse sad brwn eyes, beam her need, and then wait, trusting I wuld understand, which, strangely. I almst always did. (很快，我們發(fā)展成為一種心靈融合。她會用那雙悲傷的棕色眼睛看著我，流露出她的需要，然后等待，相信我會理解，奇怪的是。我?guī)缀蹩偸抢斫狻?”可知，作者與這只狗形成了一種默契，作者幾乎總會理解這只狗的需要，根據(jù)第四段中的“Even s, I’d balk (畏縮，猶豫) silently as she and I walked. Nt fair. (即便如此，當(dāng)我和她一起走的時(shí)候，我還是會默默地猶豫。不公平的。)”可知，作者在遛狗的時(shí)候，還是會猶豫，內(nèi)心中覺得不公平，由此可知，作者即使喜歡上了這只狗，但是仍不情愿去遛狗。故選C項(xiàng)。
8．細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第五段中的“One day my husband’s dctr uttered an unthinkable wrd: leukemic (白血病). I spent eight t ten hurs a day with Je in the hspital, ding anything and everything I culd t ease his discmfrt. Every part f my life changed; n part f my ld rutine remained (一天，我丈夫的醫(yī)生說出了一個難以想象的詞：白血病。我每天在醫(yī)院陪喬8到10個小時(shí)，盡我所能減輕他的不適。我生活的每一部分都改變了；我以前的日常生活一點(diǎn)也沒有了。)”可知，作者丈夫生病后，作者每一天要花費(fèi)8到10小時(shí)陪伴他，以前的日常生活發(fā)生了很大的變化，由此可推斷，從此之后作者不再有時(shí)間遛狗，所以，作者的丈夫生病是故事的轉(zhuǎn)折點(diǎn)。故選C項(xiàng)。
9．細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第三段中的“The mrning walk befre I headed t the hspital was a quiet, peaceful time t gather my thughts befre the day’s medical drama unflded. The evening walk was a time t shake ff the day’s upsets and let the wrry tracks in my head g t white nise. (在去醫(yī)院之前的早晨散步是一段安靜祥和的時(shí)光，我可以在一天的醫(yī)療鬧劇上演之前整理思緒。傍晚散步的時(shí)候，我可以擺脫白天的煩惱，讓腦海中的煩惱變成白噪音。)”可知，作者去醫(yī)院照顧丈夫前遛狗，能感受到安靜祥和的時(shí)光，讓作者整理思緒，在傍晚遛狗能讓作者擺脫白天的煩惱，由此可知，在作者丈夫住院時(shí)遛狗，給了作者精神上的安慰。故選A項(xiàng)。
10．推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段中的“As I watch her chase a squirrel, thrwing her whle being int the here-and-nw f an exercise that has never nce ended in victry, she reminded me, t, that n matter hw harsh the present r unpredictable the future, there’s almst always sme measure f jy t be extracted frm the mment. (當(dāng)我看著她追逐一只松鼠，把她的全部精力投入到一場從未以勝利告終的當(dāng)前的運(yùn)動中時(shí)，她也提醒我，無論現(xiàn)在多么嚴(yán)酷，未來多么不可預(yù)測，幾乎總有某種程度的快樂可以從當(dāng)下提取出來。)”可知，作者見到狗把所有的精力投入到一場從未以勝利告終的運(yùn)動中時(shí)，意識到無論現(xiàn)在多么嚴(yán)酷，無論未來多么難以預(yù)料，還是可以從此刻中得到某種程度的快樂，由此可知，作者在本文中所要傳達(dá)的是在面對困難的時(shí)候，我們?nèi)匀挥邢硎艿臅r(shí)刻。故選C項(xiàng)。

11．細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段中的“When asked why he desn’t wear a wetsuit (防寒泳衣), Lewis says, “I ask wrld leaders t d everything they can t prtect ur ceans. Smetimes the steps they need t take are difficult and unppular. If I’m asking them t be curageus, I must als be. Swimming in a wetsuit wuld nt send the right message.”(當(dāng)被問及為什么不穿防寒泳衣時(shí)，劉易斯說：“我要求世界各國領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人盡一切努力保護(hù)我們的海洋。有時(shí)，他們需要采取的步驟是困難的和不受歡迎的。如果我要求他們勇敢，我也必須勇敢。穿著潛水服游泳不會傳達(dá)正確的信息?！?”可知，普格不穿防寒泳衣在冰冷的海水中游泳是為了展示他的勇敢，故選B。
12．詞句猜測題。根據(jù)劃線詞前的“He says that his bdy can nly tlerate abut 20 minutes in the freezing waters”可知，他說他的身體在冰冷的水中只能忍受大約20分鐘，此處承接上文，是說20分鐘后他的身體就會被凍僵，動彈不得，由此可知劃線詞指代的就是“他的身體”，故選A。
13．細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段中的“Dctrs and Pugh cautin that ne must receive mnths f training t swim in such cld waters.(醫(yī)生和普格警告說，要在如此寒冷的水域游泳，必須接受數(shù)月的訓(xùn)練)”可知，普格建議人們在冰冷的海水中游泳之前要做好充分的準(zhǔn)備，故選A。
14．推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段“Pugh is an advcate fr ur ceans and seas, wrking t prtect these ecsystem with their large diversity f marine (海洋的) life.(皮尤是海洋的倡導(dǎo)者，致力于保護(hù)海洋生態(tài)系統(tǒng)，保護(hù)海洋生物的多樣性)”以及最后一段“In 2007, he swam ne kilmeter in the Nrth Ple t draw attentin t the melting Arctic ice due t climate change. In 2015, he swam in the Bay f Whales in Antarctica’s Rss Sea as part f his successful campaign t help set up a marine reserve there.(2007年，他為了引起人們對氣候變化導(dǎo)致的北極冰層融化的關(guān)注，在北極游了1公里。2015年，他在南極洲羅斯海的鯨魚灣游泳，這是他成功幫助在那里建立海洋保護(hù)區(qū)的活動的一部分)”可推知，Lewis Pugh有環(huán)保意識且意志力堅(jiān)定，故選D。
15．主旨大意題。通讀全文，特別是根據(jù)第一段中的“On Nvember 7, Lewis Pugh cmpleted a ne-kilmeter swim in the freezing waters f King Edward Cve, ff Suth Gergia in Antarctica.(11月7日，劉易斯·普格在南極洲南喬治亞州附近的愛德華王灣冰冷的海水中完成了一公里的游泳)”及第二段中的“Lewis says, “I ask wrld leaders t d everything they can t prtect ur ceans. Smetimes the steps they need t take are difficult and unppular. If I’m asking them t be curageus, I must als be. Swimming in a wetsuit wuld nt send the right message.”(劉易斯說：“我要求世界各國領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人盡一切努力保護(hù)我們的海洋。有時(shí)，他們需要采取的步驟是困難的和不受歡迎的。如果我要求他們勇敢，我也必須勇敢。穿著潛水服游泳不會傳達(dá)正確的信息。”)”結(jié)合本文主要講述了劉易斯·普格為了呼吁各國領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人采取行動保護(hù)海洋，在南極冰冷的水域完成了不穿防寒泳衣游泳一公里的壯舉。這篇文章最好的題目是“Lewis Pugh：為了一個目標(biāo)而游泳”，故選A。

18．細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第三段“I saw clearly that there were ther bjects in the whirlpl — trees and barrels(桶), After a while, I became curius abut the whirlpl itself. I then made three imprtant bservatins. The first, the larger the bdies were, the mre rapidly they fell; the secnd, between tw bjects f equal extent (程度), rund bjects fell dwn less rapidly; and the third, between tw bjects f the same size, bjects shaped like a tube fell dwn mre slwly.

(我清楚地看到漩渦里還有其他物體——樹和桶。過了一會兒，我對漩渦本身產(chǎn)生了好奇。然后我做了三個重要的觀察。首先，軀體越大，墜落得越快；第二種情況是，在兩個距離相等的物體之間，圓形物體下落的速度較慢；第三種情況是，在兩個同樣大小的物體之間，形狀像管子的物體下降得更慢。于是，我把自己綁在一個木桶上，幫助自己漂浮起來。我試圖讓我哥哥明白，但他太害怕了，呆在沉重的船上)”可知，作者將自己綁在木桶上的原因是因?yàn)楦鶕?jù)作者的觀察木桶下落的速度要慢得多。故選C。
19．推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第三段“S I tied myself t a barrel t help me flat, I tried t make my brther understand, but he was t frightened and stayed in the heavy bat. Withut waiting, I jumped int the sea t try and escape.(我試圖讓我哥哥明白，但他太害怕了，呆在沉重的船上。沒有等待，我跳進(jìn)海里試圖逃跑)”可推知，作者的哥哥非常驚慌害怕。故選A。
