A
(2019·紹興高級中學(xué)高三二模)Gwendolyn Brooks was the first African American to win a Pulitzer Prize for Literature. Gwendolyn Brooks wrote hundreds of poems during her lifetime. She had more than 20 books published. She was known around the world for using poetry to increase understanding about black culture in America.
Her poems described conditions among the poor, racial inequality and drug use in the black community. She also wrote poems about the struggles of black women. But her skill was more than her ability to write about struggling black people. She was an expert at the language of poetry. She combined traditional European poetry styles with the African American experience.
In her early poetry, Gwendolyn Brooks wrote about the South Side of Chicago. The South Side of Chicago is where many black people live. In her poems, the South Side is called Bronzeville. It was “A Street in Bronzeville” that gained the attention of literary experts in 1945. Critics praised her poetic skill and her powerful descriptions about the black experience during the time. The Bronzeville poems were her first published collection.
In 1950, Gwendolyn Brooks became the first African American to win the Pulitzer Prize for Literature. She won the prize for her second book of poems called “Annie Allen”. “Annie Allen” is a collection of poetry about the life of a Bronzeville girl as a daughter, a wife and mother. She experiences loneliness, loss, death and being poor. Ms. Brooks said that winning the prize changed her life.
Her next work was a novel written in 1953 called “Maud Martha”. “Maud Martha” received little notice when it was first published. But now it is considered an important work by some critics. Its main ideas about the difficult life of many women are popular among female writers today.
In some of her poems, Gwendolyn Brooks described how what people see in life is affected by who they are. One example is this poem, “Corners on the Curving Sky”.
By the end of the 1960s, Gwendolyn Brooks's poetry expanded from the everyday experiences of people in Bronzeville. She wrote about a wider world and dealt with important political issues.
1.What does the text mainly talk about?
A.The life of Gwendolyn Brooks's.
B.The poems of Gwendolyn Brooks's.
C.The understanding about black culture.
D.The struggle of black women.
解析:選B 主旨大意題。根據(jù)第一段和其余各段的段首可知,本文主要講了非裔美國女詩人Gwendolyn Brooks在詩歌文學(xué)上的成就和貢獻(xiàn)。
2.What can we learn about Gwendolyn Brooks's from the second paragraph?

Everyone seems to be living for someone else.
I had once helped a friend of mine run a watermelon stall. I noticed something interesting when people came to buy watermelons, but nobody paid any attention to it because it seemed to be a common practice: almost every buyer would lift the melon up to their ear, smartly rap it, apparently trying to listen to something. I wondered what they expected to hear. Finally I could no longer hold back my curiosity and made bold to ask a customer — an elderly gentleman — about this. Hearing my question, he roared with laughter. Then he replied in a self-mocking tone,“Young lady, I have been doing this for more than fifty years. But all I know is that everybody would stare at you like you were a fool if you just pick up a melon and leave.”
Not long after that, my watermelon stall friend sent me an invitation to her wedding, which really surprised me. I asked her, “How come you're seized by a sudden whim to get married? I even didn't know you had got a boyfriend.” She answered while counting money, “Everyone has to get married anyway. So, it is better to get married sooner than later.”
Have they forgotten their own heart? It may be safer and save a lot more worries to swim_with_the_tide. The use of WE or US will give one a steady and sure sense of pride. But why do people usually feel uneasy when using “I”?
I find these somewhat funny.We have got used to following others' example. We feel at ease and justified simply because this is a way of US, a way having been practiced by so many people. But this massive practice is still wrong though we all follow suit. And in turn, we also take it for granted that we should judge the right and wrong of others by our own standard.
語篇解讀:作者通過身邊人的事例,發(fā)現(xiàn)人們在生活中往往“隨大流”,盲從別人,沒有跟隨自己的內(nèi)心。
5.Why did the elderly gentleman rap the watermelon before buying it?
A.Because he expected to hear something.
B.Because he knew nothing about it.
C.Because he just followed suit.
D.Because he was a fool.
解析:選C 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段最后一句“But all I know is that everybody would stare at you like you were a fool if you just pick up a melon and leave.”可知,老人不知道敲西瓜的確切原因,只是看到別人都在敲,如果自己不敲一下,會被人認(rèn)為是一個傻子。故選C項。
6.Which of the following can best replace the phrase“swim with the tide” in the fourth paragraph?
A.Follow the crowd.
B.Swim against the tide.
C.Wear other people's clothes.
D.Follow your heart.
解析:選A 詞義猜測題。根據(jù)第四段第三句“The use of WE or US will give one a steady and sure sense of pride.”可推斷出本句中的tide(潮水)指的應(yīng)該是“WE or US”,而swim with the tide意為“跟隨人群;隨大流;從眾”。故選A項。
7.What will be most likely written about by the author in the next paragraph?
A.Nothing.
B.A story about following your heart.
C.A funny story about how to follow your heart.
D.An example about judging others by your own standard.
解析:選D 推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段末句“... we also take it for granted that we should judge the right and wrong of others by our own standard”可推斷出下文可能會與“用自己的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)評價別人”有關(guān),故選D項。
C
Recent studies have shown that challenging your brain, by spurring (刺激) the brain to create new patterns, is very important to keep your brain active and healthy as you age. Lifelong learning is a health club for our minds, bodies and spirits. This is why we parents should also teach our children to be lifelong learners. Dr. Marilyn Price-Mitchell, an American psychologist, and youth development expert, shares some ways for us to do this.
1.Ask questions.
When your child asks you a question, don't answer it straight away. Instead, help him or her bring up “questions that pique their curiosity.” This way, we help children make connections between what they're learning at school and the world beyond their classroom. We also show them that learning does not, and should not, end when one is “done with school”— it's actually a lifelong process!
2.Let them fail.
Our kids love learning about different scientific concepts (概念) via TheMagicSchoolBus videos on YouTube. And one of the characters, Miss Frizzle (the science teacher) always says this phrase:“Take chances, make mistakes, and get messy.” I always quote her when the kids say they're afraid to do or learn something because they might do it wrong or make a mistake. If we don't allow our kids to fail, they won't be able to learn to “use mistakes and failures to make lifelong learning easier,” as Dr. Price-Mitchell says.
3.Learn through experience.
This is very true for all of us, especially children. In the words of Dr. Price-Mitchell, “Learning through experience, not just from books, is one of the best ways to give the youth the skills they need for lifelong learning, living, and working in the 21st century.”
Of course, we should also set an example for our children — by learning continuously, and expanding our knowledge and experiences.
8.What's the author's attitude to what Miss Frizzle always says?
A.Worried. B.Doubtful.
C.Uncaring. D.Supportive.
解析:選D 推理判斷題。結(jié)合第三段小標(biāo)題Let them fail和Miss Frizzle經(jīng)常說的“Take chances, make mistakes, and get messy”可知,本段旨在鼓勵孩子“敢做、敢錯、不怕麻煩”。再由本段的“I always quote her when the kids say they're afraid to do or learn something ...”可知,作者對Miss Frizzle說的話表示贊同。
9.Which of the following shows the importance of learning through experience?
A.Learning is not child's play; we cannot learn without pain.
B.It is not that I'm so smart. But I stay with the questions much longer.
C.If you don't learn to think when you are young, you may never learn.
D.Tell me and I forget, teach me and I may remember, involve me and I learn.
解析:選D 推理判斷題。Marilyn Price-Mitchell認(rèn)為幫助孩子成為終身學(xué)習(xí)者的第三個方法是讓他們從經(jīng)驗中學(xué)習(xí)。D項表達(dá)中的involve me and I learn則是對經(jīng)驗中學(xué)習(xí)重要性的解釋。
10.In which part of a newspaper will the text most probably appear?
A.Health. B.Culture.
C.Education. D.Popular science.
解析:選C 文章出處題。本文是關(guān)于如何讓孩子成長為終身學(xué)習(xí)者的三條建議,故本文最可能出現(xiàn)在報紙的教育版塊。

How to Start a Conversation
Some people just know how to start a conversation with anyone, in any place. If you're not one of these lucky types, don't worry.__1__
Remark on the surroundings or occasions. If you're at a party, for example, you could comment on the food or the music in a positive way like this: “I love this song.” or “The food is great.”
__2__ For example, “How is the wine?” or “Who do you know here?”Most people enjoy talking about themselves so asking a question is a good way to get a conversation started.
__3__ For example, “I really like your purse. Can I ask where you got it?” or “You're really doing well in this. Can you show me how to do it?”
Remark on anything you have in common. People would like your saying “My daughter went to that school, too. How does your son like it?”
__4__ Don't say something that obviously causes offence and avoid heavy subjects such as politics or religion. Stick to light subjects like the weather, surroundings, and anything you have in common such as movies or sports teams.
Listen effectively. __5__ You can't concentrate on what someone's saying if you're thinking about what you're going to say next. The key to effective communication is to focus fully on the speaker and show interest in what's being said. Nod occasionally, smile at the person, and encourage the speaker to continue with “yes” or “uh huh”.
A.Choose subjects you're interested in.
B.Use a praise to create a good atmosphere.
C.Keep the conversation going with small talk.
D.It is not the same as waiting for your turn to talk.
E.Ask specific questions that are related to the drinks.
F.Ask a question that requires more than just a yes or no answer.
G.Here are some ways to have a conversation with someone new.
1.選G 本句起到承上啟下的作用,空前一句表示“如果你不是這類幸運的人,也不用擔(dān)心”,緊接著下一句應(yīng)該表述“這里有一些如何與陌生人交流的幾點建議”,故選G項。
2.選F 根據(jù)設(shè)空處后的“How is the wine?”和“Who do you know here?”可知,這里應(yīng)是教我們怎么提出問題,與別人有效地交流,故選F項。
3.選B 根據(jù)設(shè)空處后的“I really like your purse. Can I ask where you got it?”和“You're really doing well in this. Can you show me how to do it?”可看出這些都是贊美的話,故選B項。
4.選C 根據(jù)設(shè)空處后的“Stick to light subjects like the weather, surroundings ...”可知,C項中的small talk與此處的light subjects相呼應(yīng),故選C項。
5.選D 本段內(nèi)容強調(diào)傾聽的重要性,根據(jù)本空后一句表達(dá)“當(dāng)你在思考接下來要說什么的時候,你就不會專心聽別人講話”,言外之意,我們不要等著機會去說話,而要專心去聽,故選D項。
