Ⅰ.閱讀理解
A
(2020·紹興診斷性考試)For the past two years I have been travelling and living abroad. Home has become more of a feeling than a place. I feel at home when I am with my family in London, but I also feel at home in Italy with friends I love. Home is no longer a picture of a house with a front door and some windows. It is more complicated than that.
This is one of the reasons that celebrating the new year has become very important for me. I do not care about “New Year’s resolutions(新年計(jì)劃)”—living abroad has made me constantly reconsider what kind of person I want to be and how I will live my life, so I don’t feel the need to plan for change: I live for change.
New Year’s Eve has become my time to reconnect with the friends, which makes me feel at home. Every year we try to reunite wherever we are, and remember the time when we knew each other so well that we felt like a family. It is a moment to reconnect and get to know each other again. Last year, we travelled to a cottage in Ireland where we had no Internet and no neighbours. In the middle of the countryside, away from our constantly changing lives, we were able to become like a little family again.
This year, we went to Barcelona. It was a very big change. We were surrounded by culture and life and joy. There were bars and parties. It was different, but one thing stayed very much the same—I felt at home again and we felt like a family again.
A lot of people feel that New Year’s Eve cannot live up to expectations. Ideas such as the “New Year’s kiss” and “resolutions” create a lot of pressure for people to have a night to remember, a night that will change their lives and perhaps make the next year worth living. I think those people are missing the point. Why can’t New Year be about friends?
【解題導(dǎo)語】 本文是一篇夾敘夾議文。過去兩年作者在國(guó)外旅游、生活,作者經(jīng)常通過和朋友們一起旅游來慶祝新年,并因此而有家的感覺。
1.What does the underlined word “It” in paragraph 1 refer to?
A.Family. B.Living abroad.
C.Home. D.Staying with friends.
C 解析:代詞指代題。根據(jù)第一段倒數(shù)第二句“Home is no longer a picture of a house with a front door and some windows.”可知,家不再是一幅有前門和一些窗戶的房子的圖畫;結(jié)合畫線詞所在句“It is more complicated than that.”可知,該句的主語It指代前一句中的“Home”。故C項(xiàng)正確。
2.What does the author try to convey through his experiences in Ireland and Barcelona?
A.Life is peaceful and enjoyable.
B.Living abroad is a happy experience.
C.Staying with friends makes one feel at home.
D.Travelling abroad enriches one’s life experience.
C 解析:細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段尾句“In the middle of the countryside, away from our constantly changing lives, we were able to become like a little family again.”可知,和朋友待在鄉(xiāng)村的中心,遠(yuǎn)離不斷變化的生活,作者找到了家的感覺;根據(jù)第四段尾句“It was different, but one thing stayed very much the same—I felt at home again and we felt like a family again.”可知,作者和朋友們?cè)谝黄穑杏X又回到了家,感覺他們像一家人。據(jù)此可知,文章中提及作者和朋友在愛爾蘭和巴塞羅那的經(jīng)歷旨在說明和朋友待在一起能讓人找到家的感覺。故C項(xiàng)正確。
3.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A.New Year’s Celebration: How?
B.True Friendship: What?
C.Living Abroad: Comfortable or Complicated?
D.Change: Plan It or Make It?
A 解析:標(biāo)題歸納題。通讀全文可知,文章主要講述了作者由于常年旅居在國(guó)外,對(duì)于慶祝新年和新年計(jì)劃有著不同的思考:有朋友的地方就有家的感覺,變化著的生活不需要新年計(jì)劃,故A項(xiàng)最適合作文章標(biāo)題。
【難句分析】 I do not care about “New Year’s resolutions(新年計(jì)劃)”—living abroad has made me constantly reconsider what kind of person I want to be and how I will live my life, so I don’t feel the need to plan for change: I live for change.
分析:句中what kind of person I want to be and how I will live my life為and連接的兩個(gè)賓語從句,作reconsider的賓語;so I don’t feel the need to plan for change: I live for change為so引導(dǎo)的結(jié)果狀語從句。
譯文:我不在意新年計(jì)劃——生活在國(guó)外讓我不斷重新考慮我想成為什么樣的人,我將如何生活,所以我覺得沒有必要為改變做計(jì)劃:我為改變而活。
B
I read a newspaper article about a new concept. The idea is simple, but revolutionary(革命性的): combining a residential home for the elderly with a nursery school in the same building. The children and the residents(住戶) eat lunch together and share activities such as music, painting and gardening. In the afternoons, the residents enjoy reading stories to the children and, if a child is feeling sad or tired, there is always a kind lap to sit on and a hug.
Nowadays there is less and less contact between the old and the young. There are many reasons for this, including the breakdown of the extended family, working parents with no time to care for ageing relations, and smaller flats with no room for grandparents. But the result is the same: increasing numbers of children without grandparents and old people who have no contact with children. It’s a major problem in many societies.
That’s why inter-generational(代際的) programs are growing in popularity all over the world. There are examples of successful actions all over the world. Using young people to teach IT skills to older people is one obvious example. Using old people as volunteer assistants in schools is another. One successful scheme in London pairs young volunteers with old people who are losing their sight. The young people help with practical things such as writing letters, reading bank statements and helping with shopping, and the older people can pass on their knowledge and experience to their young visitors. For example, a retired judge may be paired with a teenager who wants to study law.
But it isn’t only the individuals concerned who gain from inter-generational activities. The advantages to society are huge too. If older people can understand and accept the youth of today, there will be less conflict in a community. And we can use the strengths of one generation to help another. Then perhaps getting old won’t be so sad after all.
【解題導(dǎo)語】 本文是一篇說明文。如今老年人和青少年之間的聯(lián)系越來越少,這是一個(gè)很嚴(yán)重的問題,因此為老年人和青少年創(chuàng)造聯(lián)系的代際計(jì)劃越來越受歡迎。
4.Why does the author mention the newspaper article he read?
A.To argue for a new concept.
B.To show his interest in the topic.
C.To introduce the topic of the text.
D.To draw our attention to a social problem.
C 解析:寫作意圖題。根據(jù)第一段第二句“The idea is simple, but revolutionary(革命性的): combining a residential home for the elderly with a nursery school in the same building.”可知,作者在報(bào)紙上讀到的那篇文章主張將養(yǎng)老院和幼兒園結(jié)合起來,將它們建在一起;再根據(jù)后面作者所講述的內(nèi)容可判斷出,作者之所以提到那篇文章是為了引出要講的話題。故正確答案為C。
5.What is the purpose of the inter-generational programs?
A.To provide a good job opportunity for the young.
B.To bring the old and the young together.
C.To teach the young to respect the old.
D.To ask the old to care for the young.
B 解析:推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段最后兩句“But the result is the same: increasing numbers of children without grandparents and old people who have no contact with children. It’s a major problem in many societies.”和第三段第一句“That’s why inter-generational(代際的) programs are growing in popularity all over the world.”可知,目前沒有祖父母照顧的孩子的數(shù)量以及沒有機(jī)會(huì)和孩子聯(lián)系的老人的數(shù)量都在增加,這是一個(gè)很大的問題,而代際計(jì)劃就是為了解決這一問題的。由此可判斷出代際計(jì)劃的目的是使老人和孩子生活在一起。故正確答案為B。
6.What may be the best title for the text?
A.Building Bridges for the Old and the Young
B.A New Concept in Caring for the Old Is Born
C.Offering a Warm Home for the Young
D.Being Old Is No More Sad
A 解析:標(biāo)題歸納題。通讀全文可知,本文主要講述的是:如今老年人和青少年之間的聯(lián)系越來越少,這是一個(gè)很嚴(yán)重的問題,因此為老年人和青少年創(chuàng)造聯(lián)系的代際計(jì)劃越來越受歡迎。A項(xiàng)體現(xiàn)了本文的核心,適合用作本文的標(biāo)題。故正確答案為A。
【難句分析】 One successful scheme in London pairs young volunteers with old people who are losing their sight.
分析:本句是一個(gè)復(fù)合句。who引導(dǎo)定語從句,修飾先行詞old people。
譯文:倫敦一項(xiàng)成功的方案是將年輕的志愿者與視力漸失的老年人配對(duì)組合。

Mom __6__ me to start crying, but I just sat there for a minute. Then I __7__ myself up and kept right on going.

Mom loves to use this story as an __11__. It reminds her that children don’t enter life __12__ to take risks or unwilling to __13__ again when they fall down. She never wanted me to lose that __14__ as I grew older. When I __15__ my major life decisions, I was still that little girl tearing full-speed across the lawn.
