真正的价值并不在人生的舞台上,而在我们扮演的角色中。 1 专题 18 人物故事、人物传记类阅读 【2017 年高考命题预测】 预测一 高考阅读理解所选材料通常都是国外网站上的地道的英语文章，然后经过命题专家整合、改编而 成。文章主要介绍国内外的文化风俗、历史名胜、人文地理、著名人物等。 预测二 文章的篇幅较短，词数多为 280～330，兼顾多种体裁，通常有记叙文、说明文、议论文、应用文 等，要求考生充分利用所给信息，回答文章提出的问题。通常文章难度不大，关键是考查考生高效处理信 息的能力，还要求考生对文章有更深层次的理解。但是题目并不容易，很容易出错。全国卷的命题逐渐向 地方自主命题卷，尤其是新课标地区的试卷看齐，不断增加词汇量和文章长度，向新课标过渡。 预测三 题目设置灵活多样，通常以细节理解题为主，推理判断题为辅，兼顾猜测词义、句意题及目的意图 题和主旨大意题。这种命题特点要求考生更好地了解文章中的有用信息，提高阅读速度。 【考点定位】2017 考纲解读和近几年考点分布 人物传记主要向读者介绍科学家、文学家、思想家、政治家、企业家和影视、体育明星等杰出人物在 各自领域所取得的重大成就，尤其注重介绍这些杰出人物如何克服身体残缺、自然环境和社会环境所造成 的各种困难。为人类做出巨大贡献，也为自己的事业谱写精彩篇章。这些杰出人物不仅推动了社会的进步， 而且他们对事业的追求、对人民的厚爱成为时代最重要的精神财富。通过阅读人物的小传记或摘录该人物 一些典型事件，如人生的起伏、克服困难取得成功等，考生可以得到激励或受到启发，同时也可以了解这 些人物所生活的社会文化背景。 故事类阅读理解选材来源于日常生活，给人以似曾相识的感觉。体裁一般是记叙文，包含记叙文的时 间、地点、人物、事件等要素。写作手法多采用时间、空间或逻辑线索贯穿文章始终。命题以细节为主， 推理为辅。应特别注意对人物的外貌、语言、动作和思想的描写，从而把握人物性格特点和作者的情感态 度。若是叙述性的文章，要读懂起因、经过、结果。若是故事性文章应渎懂故事的发生、发展、高潮、结 局。 1.熟悉人物介绍文特点 人物传记是高考英语阅读理解题重要题材，它主要向读者介绍科学家、文学家、思想家、政治家和企 业家等杰出人物在各行各业所取得的重大成就，并特别着重介绍这些杰出人物如何克服自身身体残缺或自 然环境和社会环境所造成的各种困难，用强烈的事业心和责任感、用汗水和泪水、用鲜血和青春为人类做 出巨大贡献，为生命谱写精彩乐章。当然这些杰出人物留给社会的不仅仅是和平发展和经济效益，更重要 的是，他们对事业的追求和对人民的厚爱成为我们这个时代最重要的精神财富。 2.熟悉人物介绍文命题规律 真正的价值并不在人生的舞台上,而在我们扮演的角色中。 2 (1)人物时段介绍判断题 这种试题往往以 What is the article mainly about? What life part of the hero is mentioned in the text? 为设问方式考查对人物时段介绍的判断。因为人物传记往往介绍杰出人物一生学习、工作和生 活情况，因此这种试题往往以 The life of the hero.或 The whole life of the hero is mentioned in our text.为答案。这种试题也可转换形式，以 How old is the hero now? How old was the hero when he died? How many years did he live?为设问方式。因为人物传记往往要从人物出生介绍到现在/人物死亡，因此 推算这些试题答案时，应仔细分析思考人物的起止年龄。 (2)童年生活质量判断题 人物传记常出现 What do we know about his childhood?之类的试题。杰出人物为什么有超强的毅力 和惊人的吃苦精神？因为他们从小身处逆境饱尝生活艰辛，从此发奋努力，全力实现心中理想，因此这种 试题答案多为：He lived a hard life.或 He had an unhappy childhood.或 He didn 抰 live as happy as the other children. (3)人物简历正确顺序判断题 人物传记的最大特点就是记叙人物一生的经历，因此人物简历正确顺序判断题是常考试题，这种试题 往往从人物全部活动中挑选 4~6 个重要活动并打乱其顺序，要求学生重新排序，并选择相应正确答案。解 题时应先阅读试题中所列 4~6 个重大事件，力争对事件有一定印象，然后回到原文中重新阅读原文，并从 事件的发生、发展、高潮及事件发生的前因后果等角度仔细排列事件发生的前后顺序。解题时切忌使用一 一代入法，因为这么做看似可行，其实费时又费力，而且这么做难度加大，极易产焦虑心理，陷入恶性循 环。 (4)人物名言理解判断题 杰出人物经过长期默默无闻的努力终获成功后，一定会引起人们强烈关注，因此媒体采访其先进事迹 并加以褒扬和宣传是理所当然的事。而最成功的人往往又是最谦虚的人，尤其是杰出人物平凡甚至卑微的 出生让他们觉得自己的成功算不上什么，不值得大竖特竖，因此这些杰出人物谦虚的语言往往成为新闻媒 体更为关注的内容，这也成了杰出人物最能打动人们的地方。因此人物传记阅读理解常出现人物名言理解 判断题。这些试题往往以“… ”means_________.为设问方式考查对人物名言的正确理解。其答案往往为 I am ordinary 或 I 抦 nothing. 或 I 抦 just so-so 等。 (5)人物成功原因判断题 杰出人物的成功为社会创造了巨大的精神财富和物质财富，人们不禁会探究其成功秘诀，使之转化为 新的生产力，因此人物传记阅读理解常出现人物成功原因判断题。这些试题往往以 Why did the hero finally 真正的价值并不在人生的舞台上,而在我们扮演的角色中。 3 succeed？或 What is the secret of the hero 抯 success?或 What can we learn from the hero 抯 success? 为设问方式考查对人物成功因素的判断。其答案往往为“He/She is not easy to bow before difficulties. 或 He /She never gives in to all kinds of hardships. 或 He/She never gives up/loses heart in face of failure.或 He/She has strong perseverance.或 He/She has strong self-belief 等。” (6)人物性格判断题 人们常所说有成就的人往往是有个性的人，可以说正是杰出人物的独特个性铸就了他的成功，因此探 究人物个性也成了人物传记阅读理解重要题型，不过这种试题与人物成功原因判断题有异曲同工之处，其 回答也大同小异，这里不再赘述。 (7)人物重要成果判断题 所有人物介绍文均会介绍杰出人物重要成果，因此常出现人物重要成果判断题，这种试题常以 What was the use of...?...would solve....为设问方式，解题时应认真阅读原文对人物重要成果的介绍及其主要 作用和现实意义，从而准确解答试题。 (8)人物困难判断题 杰出人物的成功不是一帆风顺的，都会出现重大困难，因此人物介绍文常出现人物困难判断题，这种 试题常以 What was the biggest difficulty that...faced? ...failed to continue his research work because...，解题时应认真阅读原文对人物困难的描绘，将所遇困难进行排列，并弄清其最大困难是什么， 以便准确做题。 (9)人物地位判断题 杰出人物可能逝世多年，但人们是不会忘记他们的，人们是会公平评价他们的历史地位的，因此人物 介绍文常出现人物地位判断题，这种试题常以 From the passage, we can infer that....或 According to the passage,...was...为设问方式，解题时应认真阅读原文对人物重大贡献及社会影响进行介绍的内容， 从而准确解答试题。 阅读这类文章，应特别注意对任务的外貌、语言、动作、思想的描写，进而把握人 物性格特点和作者的情感态度。命题以细节为主，推理为辅。那么怎样准备理解细节呢？首先，从问 题中找到关键词，然后以此为线索，运用略读和查阅的技巧在文中寻找细节，找到后再把这一部分内容仔 细阅读，迅速比较选项和文中细节的区别。 若是叙述性的文章，要读懂起因、经过、结果。若是故事性文章应读懂故事的发生、发展、高潮、结 局。它们是我们读懂故事所必需的。 若是幽默故事，应体会风趣的对话、特别的动作，它们是幽默的精髓。 真正的价值并不在人生的舞台上,而在我们扮演的角色中。 4 【考点 pk】 名师考点透析 考点一、细节事实理解。 一篇文章必然是由许多具体的细节、具体的内容构成的，所有这些信息以某种顺序（时间、空间、情感 变化等）排列起来，来进一步解释或阐释主题，体现文章的主旨大意。 细节理解题目主要考查学生对文章具体事实和细节的理解能力，属于表层理解题范畴，难度较小，但在 整个阅读理解题中所占比例最大，细节理解题多从文章的某个具体事实或细节出发来设计题目。 此类题通常根据文章具体内容来设问，也常使用下列方式来提问 1.Which of the following statements is(not) true/correct? 2.Which of the following is not mentioned? 3.All of the following are true except... 4.According to the passage,when/where/why/how/how/what/which,etc...？ 1.直接事实题 在解答这类问题时要求学生抓住题干文字信息，采用针对性方法进行阅读，因为这类题的答案在文章 中可以直接找到。 如： A giant dam was built many years ago to control the Colorado River in the U.S.This dam was built to protect the land and houses around the river. This huge dam is in the Black Canyon.It is possible to drive a car from one side of the river to the other on a road，which is on the top of the dam.This dam is so big that there is an elevator inside.The elevator goes down forty-four stories from the road to the bottom.There is enough concrete in this dam to build a highway from New York to San Francisco.Thousands of people worked on this dam for five years. This huge dam was called Boulder Dam when it was finished in 1936.Later it was renamed Hoover Dam in honor of a president of the United States.Hoover Dam，one of the highest dams in the world， is situated between the states of Arizona and Nevada. Q：Hoover Dam lies______ . A.between Arizona and Nevada B.in the Black Canyon C.between New York and San Francisco D.both A and B 真正的价值并不在人生的舞台上,而在我们扮演的角色中。 5 【解析】由第二段的第一句话和最后一段的最后一句话可得出正确答案是 D 项。 2.间接事实题 解答此类题，需要结合上下文提供的语境和信息进行简单的概括和判断或者要进行简单的计算。 Invited by Mr.Ye Huixian，host of the well-received TV programme“Stars Tonight”，Miss Luo Lin，Miss Asia of 1991，appeared as the guest hostess on the Shanghai TV screen last Sunday. Born in Shanghai and taken to Hongkong when she was only six years old，Luo Lin has never dreamed of being Miss Asia.Her childhood dream was to be an air hostess.Before she took part in the competition，she had been an airhostess in Cathay Airline for seven years.However， it still took her three months to learn the art of walking on the stage，dancing,singing,making-up and other proper manners，designed by the Asia TV Station. “It’s really a hard job for me.I won’t enter for such competition any more.Anyhow，I am quite lucky.I am also glad to have had more chance to work for the social welfare since I won the title.This time，in Shanghai，I’d love to make a deep impression on my TV audience，”said Luo Lin with a sweet smile. Q：Which of the following is NOT true? A.Luo Lin is a native of Shanghai. B.Luo Lin moved to Hongkong with her parents. C.Luo Lin won the title of Miss Asia in 1991. D.Asia TV Station helped Luo Lin to become Miss Asia. 【解析】A、C 和 D 项都可在原文找到答案，而 B 项原文所给的是：taken to Hongkong 可判断不是 moved to Hongkong with her parents，因此选 B。 3、数据推算。 If you register both the VIEW qualification course and the Forum at the same time,you will save_______ . A.$100 B.$300 C.$350 D.$400 这类题目要求学生就文章提供的数据，以及数据与文中其他信息的关系做简单计算和推断。在做此类 题时： 1.要抓住并正确理解与数据有关的信息含义。 2.弄清众多信息中那些属于有用信息，那些属于干扰信息。 真正的价值并不在人生的舞台上,而在我们扮演的角色中。 6 3.不要孤立看待数字信息，而要抓住一些关键用语的意义。 考点二、主题理解或写作意图推断。 一、主旨阅读理解题考查的内容 1.短文的标题（title,headline）； 2.短文或段落的主题（subject）； 3.中心思想(main idea)； 4.作者的写作目的(purpose)。 二、此类题的设问方式 1.What would be the best title for the text? 2.What does the second paragraph mainly discuss? 3.What is the passage mainly about? 4.The main purpose of announcing the above events is__________. 考点三、推理推断。 推理题要求考生根据文章提供的事实和线索进行逻辑推理，推断出作者没有提到或者没有明说的事实或 者可能发生的事实。这类题旨在考查学生透过词语的字面意义去理解作者的言外之意或弦外之音的能力， 属于深层理解题。 此类题的设问常常包括 infer,imply,suggest,conclude 等词，这类题的设问方式主要有： 1.We can infer from the Passage that__________. 2.What can be inferred from the Passage? 3.Which of the following can be inferred from the Passage? 4.It can be inferred from Paragraph 3 that__________. 5.The author suggests in this paragraph that__________. 6.The writer implies that__________. 7.It can be inferred that__________. 8.It can be concluded from the Passage that__________. 9.On the whole,we can conclude that__________. 10.From the text we can conclude that__________. 11.After reading the Passage we may conclude that__________. 12.What conclusion can be drawn from the Passage? 真正的价值并不在人生的舞台上,而在我们扮演的角色中。 7 13.The author is inclined to think that__________. 14.When the writer talks about,what he really means is that__________. 15.What’s the writer’s attitude/feeling towards...? 16.In the writer’s opinion,... 近年来，高考加大了对学生判断推理能力的考查。判断推理题要求在理解原文表面 文字信息的基础上， 作出一定判断和唯论，从而得到文章的隐含意义和深层意义。推理题所涉及的内容可能是文中某一句话， 也可某几句话，但做题的指导思想都是以文字信息为依据，旣不能做出在原文中找不到文字根据的推理， 也不能根据表面文字信息做多步推理。做题时要注意题干的语言形式，如 According to the passage .It can be inferred from the passage that..； It can be concluded from the passage that...等，虽然从 表面上看是问有关全文的题，但实际上不用看全篇，仍然只需要根据选项中的线索找到原文中与之相关的 一句话或几句话，然后得出答案。针对推理题的不同情形，可以采取以下做法：1. 假如题干中有具体线索， 根据具体线索找到原文相关句(一句或几句话)，然卮做出推理; 2.假如题干中无线索，如 It can be inferred from the passage that...; It can be concluded from the passage that...等，先浏览一下 4 个选项，排除不太可能的选项，然后根据最可能的选项中的关键词找到原文相关句，作出推理；3.如果一 篇文章中其他题都未涉及文章主旨， 那么推理题，如 infer，conclude 题型，可能与文章主旨有关，考生 应该定位到文章主题所在位置(如主题句出现处)；假如其他题己经涉及文章主旨，那么要求推断出来的内 容可能与段落主题有关，如果如此，应该找段落主题所在处；如果不与段落主题有关，有时与全文或段落 的重要结论有关，这时可以寻找与这结论相关的原文叙述。 考点四、词义、句义猜测。 词义猜测阅读理解题考查对文中关键词语的理解。在阅读理解题中，所考查的词或短语的意义往往不停 留在字面上，要根据语境来判断。 此类题的设问方式主要有 1.The word “...”in Line...means/can be replaced by... 2.As used in the passage,the phrase “...”suggests... 3.From the passage,we can infer that the word/phrase “...” is/referred to... 4.The word “...” is closest in meaning to...猜词是应用英语的重要能力，也是高考中常用的 题型。它不但需要准确无误地理解上下文，而且要有较大的泛读量，掌握或认识较多的课外词汇。我们要 学会“顺藤摸瓜”，通过构词、语法、定义、同位、对比、因果、常识、上下文等线索确定词义。 1.定义法。如: 真正的价值并不在人生的舞台上,而在我们扮演的角色中。 8 Annealing is a way of making metal softer by heating it and then letting it cool very slowly. 句子给予 annealing 以明确的定义，即 “退火”。 It will be very hard but also very brittle—that is,it will break easily. 从后面的解释中我们可以了解到 brittle 是“脆”的意思。 The herdsman,who looks after sheep，earns about 650 yuan a year. 定语从句中 looks after sheep 就表明了 herdsman 的词义为“牧人”。 2.同位法。如: They traveled a long way and at last got to a castle,a large building in old times. 同位语部分 a large building in old times 给出了 castle 的确切词义，即“城堡”。 We are on the night shift—from midnight to 8 a.m.—this week. 两个破折号之间的短语很清楚地表明 night shift 是“夜班”的意思。 3.对比法。如: She is usually prompt for all her class,but today she arrived in the middle of her first class. but 一词表转折，因此 but 前后的意思正相反。后半句的意思是“她今天第一节上了一半才来”，因 此反向推理，可得出她平时一向“准时”的结论。 4.构词法(前缀、后缀、复合、派生等)。如: Perhaps,we can see some possibilities for next fifty years.But the next hundred? possibility 是 possible 的同根名词,据此可以判断定 possibility 意思是“可能性”。 5.因果法。如： The lack of movement caused the muscles to weaken.Sometimes the weakness was permanent.So the player could never play the sport again. 从后面的结果“永远不能再运动”中，可以推测 permanent 的意思为“永远的，永久”。 真正的价值并不在人生的舞台上,而在我们扮演的角色中。 9 【三年高考】 14、15、16 高考试题及其解析 2016 年高考试题 1.【2016·全国新课标 I】C I am peter Hodes ,a volunteer stem courier. Since March 2012, I've done 89 trips of those , 51 have been abroad, I have 42 hours to carry stem cells（干细胞）in my little box because I've got two ice packs and that's how long they last, in all, from the time the stem cells are harvested from a donor(捐献者) to the time they can be implanted in the patient, we’ve got 72 hours at most, So I am always conscious of time.

But when I arrived at the check-in desk at Providence, the lady on the desk said: “Well, I’m really sorry, I’ve got some bad news for you-there are no fights from Washington.” So I took my box and put it on the desk and I said: “In this box are some stem cells that are urgently needed for a patient-please, please, you’ve got to get me back to the United Kingdom.” She just dropped everything. She arranged for a flight on a small plane to be held for mere-routed(改道)me through Newark and got me back to the UK even earlier than originally scheduled.

The ice won't last any longer. 31.Which flight did the woman put Peter on first? A. To London B. To Newark C. To Providence D. To Washington 真正的价值并不在人生的舞台上,而在我们扮演的角色中。 10 【答案】 29-31.B D.B 【技巧点拨】词义猜测题的答题技巧。1.根据定义或上下文解释进行猜测 2.根据同位关系进行猜测 3.根据 构词法(前缀、后缀、复合、派生等)进行猜测 4.根据转折或对比关系进行猜测。在本文中要根据上下文对 作者工作的描写来推测出正确的词义。 30. D 细节理解题。根据第一段第二句 I have 42 hours to carry stem cells in my little box because I’ve got two ice packs and that’s how long they last.可知冰盒只能保持 42 小时适宜的温度。故 选 D 。 31.B 细节理解题。根据第二段末句 She arranged for a flight on a small plane to be held for me, re-routed me through Newark 可知，这位好心的女士首先安排作者去 Newark 的航班。故选 B。 考点：故事类短文阅读 2.【2016·北京】B Surviving Hurricane Sandy(飓风桑迪) Natalie Doan,14, has always felt lucky to live in Rockaway, New York. Living just a few blocks from the beach, Natalie can see the ocean and hear the wave from her house. “It’s the ocean that makes Rockaway so special,” she says. On October 29, 2012, that ocean turned fierce. That night, Hurricane Sandy attacked the East Coast, and Rockaway was hit especially hard. Fortunately, Natalie’s family escaped to Brooklyn shortly before the city’s bridge closed. When they returned to Rockaway the next day, they found their neighborhood in ruins. Many of Natalie’s friends had lost their homes and were living far away. All around her, people were suffering, especially the elderly. Natalie’s school was so damaged that she had to temporarily attend a school in Brooklyn. In the following few days, the men and women helping Rockaway recover inspired Natalie. 真正的价值并不在人生的舞台上,而在我们扮演的角色中。 11 Volunteers came with carloads of donated clothing and toys. Neighbors devoted their spare time to helping others rebuild. Teenagers climbed dozens of flights of stairs to deliver water and food to elderly people trapped in powerless high-rise buildings. “My mom tells me that I can’t control what happens to me,” Natalie says. “but I can always choose how I deal with it.” Natalie’s choice was to help. She created a website page matching survivors in need with donors who wanted to help. Natalie posted introduction about a boy named Patrick, who lost his baseball card collecting when his house burned down. Within days, Patrick’s collection was replaced. In the coming months, her website page helped lots of kids: Christopher, who received a new basketball; Charlie, who got a new keyboard. Natalie also worked with other organizations to bring much-need supplies to Rockaway. Her efforts made her a famous person. Last April, she was invited to the White House and honored as a Hurricane Sandy Champion of Change. Today, the scars(创痕)of destruction are still seen in Rockaway, but hope is in the air. The streets are clear, and many homes have been rebuilt. “I can’t imagine living anywhere but Rockaway,” Natalie declares. “My neighborhood will be back, even stronger than before.” 59.When Natalie returned to Rockaway after the hurricane ,she found______.

Last April, she was invited to the White House and honored as a Hurricane Sandy Champion of Change.”可知，Natalie 的助人 行为得到了社会的认可和赞扬，说明小人物也可以有大作为，故选 A。 考点：人物故事类短文阅读。 【名师点睛】 故事类文章是高考阅读理解常选材料之一。这类文章常通过叙述突出人物性格特征或讲述个人经历与感悟， 以及逸闻趣事。文章的要素有时间、地点、人物、事件等。有些是按事件发展的经过为主线叙述的，在叙 述的过程中有详有略；有些是按时间的顺序叙述的，有顺叙、倒叙等。 真正的价值并不在人生的舞台上,而在我们扮演的角色中。 13 解题技巧： 1、高考选用的此类文章常常为幽默类或情感类故事，其目的或阐明某种观点，或抨击某种陋习，或赞扬某 种品德，所以要关注作者表达的个人感悟，提出的个人意见，或故事中出其不意的变化，而这些往往体现 文章中心或写作意图，属于必考点。如本题中的第 62 题：通过 Natalie 帮助他人的行为告诉读者小人物也 可以有大作为这一道理。 2、该类文章语言流畅、有趣，命题往往从故事的情节、人物或事件之间的关系、作者的意图和态度、故事 的前因和后果等方面入手，考查学生对细节的辨认能力以及推理判断能力。这类文章同学们常有文章易懂， 题目不易做的感觉。要注意培养自己快速阅读的习惯。切不可在个别难懂的词句上停留太久，耽误时间。 3、对整篇短文内容有了一定的了解后，要马上看短文后的问题，带着问题去选择或判断答案。要确定所需 查找的信息范围，并注意所查找信息的特点。例如：如果问题或选项涉及到人名、地名，就应该找首字母 大写的单词；如果问题或选项涉及时间、日期、数字，就应该寻找具体的数据。 3.【2016·天津】B Every man wants his son to be somewhat of a clone, not in features but in footsteps. As he grows you also age, and your ambitions become more unachievable. You begin to realize that your boy, in your footsteps, could probably accomplish what you hoped for. But footsteps can be muddied and they can go off in different directions. My son Jody has hated school since day one in kindergarten. Science projects waited until the last moment. Book reports weren’t written until the final threat. I’ve been a newspaperman all my adult life. My daughter is a university graduate working toward her master’s degree in English. But Jody? When he entered the tenth grade he became a “vo-tech” student(技校学生). They’re called “motorheads” by the rest of the student body. When a secretary in my office first called him “motorhead”, I was shocked. “Hey, he’s a good kid,” I wanted to say. “And smart, really.” I learned later that motorheads are, indeed, different. They usually have dirty hands and wear dirty work clothes. And they don’t often make school honor rolls(光荣榜). But being the parent of a motorhead is itself an experience in education. We who labor in clean shirts in offices don’t have the abilities that motorheads have. I began to learn this when I had my car crashed. The cost to repair it was estimated at $800. “Hey, I can fix it,” said Jody. I doubted it , but let him go ahead, for I had nothing to lose. 真正的价值并不在人生的舞台上,而在我们扮演的角色中。 14 My son ,with other motorheads, fixed the car.

Since that first repair job, a broken air-conditioner, a non-functioning washer and a non-toasting toaster have been fixed. Neighbors and co-workers trust their car repairs to him. These kids are happiest when doing repairs. They joke and laugh and are living in their own relaxed world. And their minds are bright despite their dirty hands and clothes. I have learned a lot from my motorhead: publishers need printers, engineers need mechanics, and architects need builders. Most important, I have learned that fathers don’t need clones in footsteps or anywhere else. My son may never make the school honor roll. But he made mine. 41. What used to be the author’s hope for his son? A. To avoid becoming his clone. B. To resemble him in appearance. C. To develop in a different direction. D. To reach the author’s unachieved goals. 42.

I have thought long and hard about it and it’s true. I would be a different person if my mom hadn’t turned a silly bicycle accessory into a life lesson I carry with me today. My mother and father were united in their way of raising children, but it mostly fell to my mother to actually carry it out. Looking back, I honestly don’t know how she did it. Managing the family budget must have been a very hard task., but she made it look effortless. If we complained about not having what another kid did, we’d hear something like, “I don’t care what so –and –so got for his birthday, you are not getting a TV in your room a car for your birthday a lsvish sweet 16 party.” We had to earn our allowance by doing chores around the house. I can still remember how long it took to polish the legs of our coffee table.My brothers can no doubt remember hours spent cleaning the house .Like the two little girls growing up at the White House,we made our own beds (no one left the house until that was done)and picked up after ourselves.We had to keep 真正的价值并不在人生的舞台上,而在我们扮演的角色中。 17 track of our belongings ,and if something was lost ,it was not replaced. It was summer and ,one day ,my mother drove me to the bike shop to get a tire fixed---and there it was in the window, White, shiny, plastic and decorated with flowers ,the basket winked at me and I knew ----I knew---I had to have it. “It’s beautiful,” my mother said when I pointed it out to her,”What a neat basket.” I tried to hold off at first ,I played it cool for a short while. But then I guess I couldn’t at and it any longer:“Mom, please can I please ,please get it? I ‘ll do extra chores for as long as you say, I’ll do anything ,but I need that basket,I love that basket.Please ,Mom .Please?” I was desperate. “You know,” she said ,gently rubbing my back while we both stared at what I believes was the coolest thing ever,” If you save up you could buy this yourself.” “By the time I make enough it’ll bu gone!” “Maybe Roger here could hold it for you,” she smiled at Roger ,the bike guy. “He can’t hold it for that long ,Mom .Someone else will buy it .Please, Mom,Please?” “There might be another way,” she said. And so our paying plan unfolded. My mother bought the beautiful basket and put it safely in some hiding place I couldn’t find. Each week I eagerly counted my growing saving increased by extra work here and there (washing the car ,helping my mother make dinner, delivering or collecting things on my bike that already looked naked without the basket in front).And then ,weeks later ,I counted ,re-counted and jumped for joy. Oh ,happy day ! I made it! I finally had the exact amount we’d agreed upon…. Days later the unthinkable happened. A neighborhood girl I’d played with millions of times appeared with the exact same basket fixed to her shiny ,new bike that already had all the bells and whistles. I rode hard and fast home to tell my mother about this disaster. This horrible turn of events. And then came the lesson . I’ve taken with me through my life:”Honey, Your basket is extra-special,” Mom said, gently wiping away my hot tears.”Your basket is special because you paid for it yourself.” 55.What can we learn from the first two paragraphs? 真正的价值并不在人生的舞台上,而在我们扮演的角色中。 18 A.

She was just an average high school athlete. There was every indication that she was just another American teenager without much of a future. However, one person wants to change this. Stephen Francis observed then eighteen-year-old Shelly Ann as a track meet and was convinced that he had seen the beginning of true greatness. Her time were not exactly impressive, but even so, he seemed there was something trying to get out, something the other coaches had overlooked when they had assessed her and found her lacking. He decided to offer Shelly Ann a place in his very strict training seasons. Their cooperation quickly produced results, and a few year later at Jamaica’s Olympic games in early 2008, Shelly Ann, who at that time only ranked number 70 in the world, beat Jamaica’s unchallenged queen of the sprint(短跑). “Where did she come from?” asked an astonished sprinting world, before concluding that she must be one of those one-hit wonders that spring up from time to time, only to disappear again without signs. But Shelly Ann was to prove that she was anything but a one-hit wonder. At the Beijing Olympic she swept away any doubts about her ability to perform consistently by becoming 真正的价值并不在人生的舞台上,而在我们扮演的角色中。 21 the first Jamaican woman ever to win the 100 meters Olympic gold. She did it again one year on at the World Championship in Briton, becoming world champion with a time of 10.73--- the fourth record ever. Shelly-Ann is a little woman with a big smile. She has a mental toughness that did not come about by chance. Her journey to becoming the fastest woman on earth has been anything but smooth and effortless. She grew up in one of Jamaica’s toughest inner-city communities known as Waterhouse, where she lived in a one-room apartment, sleeping four in a bed with her mother and two brothers. Waterhouse, one of the poorest communities in Jamaica, is a really violent and overpopulated place. Several of Shelly-Ann's friends and family were caught up in the killings; one of her cousins was shot dead only a few streets away from where she lived. Sometimes her family didn’t have enough to eat. She ran at the school championships barefooted because she couldn’t afford shoes. Her mother Maxime, one of a family of fourteen, had been an athlete herself as a young girl but, like so many other girls in Waterhouse, had to stop after she had her first baby. Maxime’s early entry into the adult world with its responsibilities gave her the determination to ensure that her kids would not end up in Waterhouse's roundabout of poverty. One of the first things Maxime used to do with Shelly-Ann was taking her to the track, and she was ready to sacrifice everything. It didn't take long for Shelly-Ann to realize that sports could be her way out of Waterhouse. On a summer evening in Beijing in 2008, all those long, hard hours of work and commitment finally bore fruit. The barefoot kid who just a few years previously had been living in poverty, surrounded by criminals and violence, had written a new chapter in the history of sports. But Shelly-Ann’s victory was far greater than that. The night she won Olympic gold in Beijing, the routine murders in Waterhouse and the drug wars in the neighbouring streets stopped. The dark cloud above one of the world’s toughest criminal neighbourhoods simply disappeared for a few days. “ I have so much fire burning for my country,”Shelly said. She plans to start a foundation for homeless children and wants to build a community centre in Waterhouse. She hopes to inspire the Jamaicans to lay down their weapons. She intends to fight to make it a woman’s as well as a man’s world. As Muhammad Ali puts it, “ Champions aren't made in gyms. Champions are made from something 真正的价值并不在人生的舞台上,而在我们扮演的角色中。 22 they have deep inside them. A desire, a dream, a vision.” One of the things Shelly-Ann can be proud of is her understanding of this truth. 65. Why did Stephen Francis decide to coach Shelly-Ann? A. He had a strong desire to free her family from trouble. B. He sensed a great potential in her despite her weaknesses. C. She had big problems maintaining her performance. D. She suffered a lot of defeats at the previous track meets. 66. What did the sprinting world think of Shelly-Ann before the 2008 Olympic Games? A. She would become a promising star. B. She badly needed to set higher goals. C. Her sprinting career would not last long. D. Her talent for sprinting was known to all. 67. What made Maxime decide to train her daughter on the track? A. Her success and lessons in her career. B. Her interest in Shelly-Ann’s quick profit. C. Her wish to get Shelly-Ann out of poverty. D. Her early entrance into the sprinting world. 68. What can we infer from Shelly-Ann's statement underlined in Paragraph 5? A. She was highly rewarded for her efforts. B. She was eager to do more for her country. C. She became an athletic star in her country. D. She was the envy of the whole community. 69. By mentioning Muhammad Ali’s words, the author intends to tell us that .

What is the best title for the passage? A. The Making of a Great Athlete 真正的价值并不在人生的舞台上,而在我们扮演的角色中。 23 B. The Dream for Championship C. The Key to High Performance D. The Power of Full Responsibility 【答案】65. B 66. C 67. C 68.B 69.D 70.

The four-year-old dog set off racing after the sheep across several fields and, being a city animal, lost both her sheep and her sense of direction. Then she ran along the edge of cliff( 悬崖) and fell 100 feet, bouncing off a rock into the sea. Her owner Mike Holden panicked and celled the coastguard of Cornwall, who turned up in seconds . Six volunteers slid down the cliff with the help of a rope but gave up all hope of finding her alive after a 90-minute search. Three days later, a hurricane hit the coast near Cornwall. Mr. Holden returned home from his holiday upset and convinced his pet was dead. He comforted himself with the thought she had died in the most beautiful part of the country. For the next two weeks, the Holdens were heartbroken . Then, one day, the phone rang and Steve Tregear, the coastguard of Cornwall, asked Holder if he would like his dog bark. A birdwatcher, armed with a telescope, found the pet sitting desperately on a rock. While he sounded the alarm, a student from Leeds climbed down the cliff to collect Judy. The dog had initially been knocked unconscious(失去知觉的)but had survived by drinking water from a fresh scream at the base of the cliff. She may have fed on the body of a sheep which had also fallen over the edge. “The dog was very thin and hungry,” Steve Tregear said , “It was a very dog. She survived because of a plentiful supply of fresh water,” he added. It was ,as Mr. Holden admitted, “a minor miracle(奇迹)”. 50.

After he was put on disability for a bad back, he bought a small farm in the country, just enough to grow food for the family. He planted vegetables, fruit trees and even kept bees for honey. And every week he cleaned Old Man McColgin's chicken house in exchange for manure(肥料). The Smell really burned the inside of your nose. When we complained about the terrible smell, Dad said the stronger the manure, the healthier the crops, and he was right. For example, just one of his cantaloupes filled the entire house with its sweet smell, and the taste was even sweeter. As the vegetables started coming in, Dad threw himself into cooking. One day, armed with a 真正的价值并不在人生的舞台上,而在我们扮演的角色中。 33 basket of vegetables, he announced he was going to make stew(炖菜).Dad pulled out a pressure cooker and filled it up with cabbages, eggplants, potatoes, corns, onions and carrots. For about half an hour. the pressure built and the vegetables cooked. Finally, Dad turned off the stove, the pot began to cool and the pressure relief valve sprayed out a cloud of steam. If we thought Dad's pile of chicken manure was bad, this was 10 times worse. When Dad took off the lid, the smell nearly knocked us out. Dad carried the pot out and we opened doors and windows to air out the house. Just how bad was it? The neighbors came out of their houses to see if we had a gas leak! Determined, Dad filled our plates with steaming stew and passed them around. It didn’t look that bad, and after the first wave had shut down my ability to smell, it didn’t offend the nose so much, either. I took a taste. It would never win a prize in a cooking competition, but it was surprisingly edible and we drank up every last drop of soup. 34.Why did Dad clean Old Man Mocolgin’s chicken house regularly? A. To earn some money for the family. B. To collect manure for his crops. C. To get rid of the terrible smell. D. To set a good example to us. 35.What can we infer about Dad’s stew? A. It is popular among the neighbors. B. It contains honey and vegetables. C. It looks very wonderful. D. It tastes quite delicious. 36.What does the underlined word “offend” in the last paragraph mean? A. To attract B. To upset C. To air D. To shut 37.What can we learn about Dad form the text? A. He is an experienced cook. B. He is a troublesome father. C. He has a positive attitude to life. D. He suffers a lot from his disability. 真正的价值并不在人生的舞台上,而在我们扮演的角色中。 34 35.D 推理判断题。根据最后一段的 we drank up every last drop of soup.可知，选择 D，意为父亲的炖 菜非常美味。 36.B 词义判断题。根据文章上文的 the first wave had shut down my ability to smell,可知，此处指 的是鼻子闻不到那种味道，故选择 B，意为搅乱。 37.C 推理判断题。根据文章内容可知，父亲在背部受伤后，不愿意休息，而是自己经营着小农场，而且在 收货后，还自创菜，故选择 C 最为恰当，指父亲对于生活有着积极的态度。 【考点定位】 考查记叙文阅读 【名师点睛】本题考查记叙文阅读。在高考试卷中，每套试卷中通常都会包含记叙文。通常情况下记叙文 阅 读 的 难 度 相 对 比 较 低 。 要 求 考 生 能 够 依 据 文 章 的 写 作 顺 序 ， 弄 清 文 章 大 意 ， 了 解 记 叙 文 的 5W(what/who/when/where/why)，同时关注考题中的细节，掌握文章的主题大意。本题中细节理解题有一题 （34），要求考生能关注关键词 manure，在原文中迅速定位；推理判断题有两题（35、37 题），要求考生 能够迅速找到与之相关的 stew 和父亲的做事风格等。记叙文阅读通常都会出现词义猜测题，要求考生能通 过对上下午的理解猜测出词的大概意思。 6.【2015·天津】C One day when I was 12, my mother gave me an order: I was to walk to the public library, and borrow at least one book for the summer.

Books could be incredibly wonderful and I was going to read them. I never told my mother about my “miraculous” (奇迹般地) experience that summer, but she saw a slow but remarkable improvement in my classroom performance during the next year.

It made school difficult for me. When everyone else in the class was focusing on tasks, I could not. In my first literature class, Mrs.Smith asked us to read a story and then write on it, all within 45 minutes. I raised my hand right away and said,“Mrs.Smith, you see, the doctor said I have attention problems. I might not be able to do it.” She glanced down at me through her glasses, “you are no different from your classmates, young man.” I tried, but I didn’t finish the reading when the bell rang. I had to take it home. In the quietness of my bedroom, the story suddenly all became clear to me. It was about a blind person, Louis Braille. He lived in a time when the blind couldn’t get much education. But Louis didn’t give up. Instead, he invented a reading system of raised dots（点）, which opened up a whole new world of knowledge to the blind. Wasn’t I the “blind” in my class, being made to learn like the “sighted” students? My thoughts spilled out and my pen started to dance. I completed the task within 40 minutes. Indeed, I was no different from others; Ijust needed a quieter place. If Louis could find his way out of his problems, why should I ever give up? I didn’t expect anything when I handled in my paper to Mrs.Smith, so it was quite a surprise when it came back to me the next day- with an“A” on it.

However, Helene did not want her daughters to always work in the family business because she thought it was too hard. Eventually the girls all graduated from college and went away to work for themselves, but one by one, the daughters returned to work in the family business. They opened new restaurants in San Francisco and Los Angeles. Even though family members sometimes disagreed with each other, they worked together to make the business successful. Daughter Elisabeth explains, "Our mother taught us that to succeed we must have unity, and to have unity we must have peace. Without the strength of the family, there is no business." Their expanding business became a large corporation in 1996, with three generations of Ans working together. Now the Ans' corporation makes more than $20 million each year.

I was able to buy it a little over 真正的价值并不在人生的舞台上,而在我们扮演的角色中。 41 a year ago because I had my relatives give me money for my birthday instead of clothes that wouldn’t fit. I let a salesclerk fool me into buying a discontinued model. I realized this a day later, when I saw newspaper advertisements for the set at seventy-five dollars less than I had paid. The set worked so beautiful when I first got it home that I would keep it on until stations signed off for the night. Fortunately, I didn’t get any channels showing all-night movies or I would never have gotten to bed. Then I started developing a problem with the set that involved static(静电) noise. For some reason, when certain shows switched into a commercial, a loud noise would sound for a few seconds. Gradually, this noise began to appear during a show, and to get rid of it, I had to change to another channel and then change it back. Sometimes this technique would not work, and I had to pick up the set and shake it to remove the sound. I actua lly began to build up my arm muscles(肌 肉) shaking my set. When neither of these methods removed the static noise, I would sit helplessly and wait for the noise to go away. At last I ended up hitting the set with my first, and it stopped working altogether. My trip to the repair shop cost me $62, and the sit is working well now, but I keep expecting more trouble. 21. Why did the author say he was fooled into buying the TV set? A. He got an older model than he had expected. B. He couldn’t return it when it was broken. C. He could have bought it at a lower price. D. He failed to find any movie shows on it. 22. Which of the following an best replace the phrase “signed off” in paragraph 1? A. ended all their programs B. provided fewer channels C. changed to commercials D. showed all-night movies 23.

We arrived in the summer, just in time to enjoy the midnight sun. All that sunlight was fantastic for Mom's vegetable garden. Working in the garden at midnight tended to throw her timing off, so she didn't care much about my bedtime. Dad was a Railway Express agent and Mom was his clerk. That left me in a mess. I usually managed to find some trouble to get into. Once I had a little Are going in the dirt basement of a hotel. I had tried to light a barrel（桶） of paint but couldn't really get a good fire going. The smoke got pretty bad, though, and when 1 made my exit, a crowd and the police were there to greet me. The policemen took my matches and drove me Mom and Dad were occupied in the garden and Dad told the police to keep me, and they did! I had a tour of the prison before Mom rescued me. 1 hadn't turned 5 yet. As I entered kindergarten, the serious cold began to set in. Would it surprise you to know that I soon left part of my tongue on a metal handrail at school? As for Leonhard Seppala, famous as a dog sledder (驾雪橇者), I think I knew him well because I was taken for a ride with his white dog team one Sunday. At the time I didn't realize what a superstar he was, but I do remember the ride well. I was wrapped (包裹) heavily and well sheltered from the freezing and blowing weather. In 1950, we moved back to Coeur d'Alene, but we got one more Alaskan adventure when Leonhard invited us eight years later by paying a visit to Idaho to attend a gathering of former neighbors of Alaska. .

To show off his pride in making trouble. 【答案】 C D A A 真正的价值并不在人生的舞台上,而在我们扮演的角色中。 52 C 考查推理判断。根据文章第二段 Working in the garden at midnight tended to throw her timing off, 和第三段内容 Dad was a Railway Express agent and Mom was his clerk. That left me in a mess. 可 知在铁路部门工作的父母忙于工作无瑕顾及作者，由此判断作者的父母非常忙碌，选 C。 D 考查细节理解。在文章第三段和第四段作者讲述了自己小时候玩火差点酿成火灾的事情，然后在第四段末 尾提到 1 hadn't turned 5 yet.当时我还不到 5 岁，由此可知当作者四岁的时候他的淘气险些酿成火灾， 正确答案为 D。 A 考查细节理解。从文章末段内容可知作者后来搬家了，故 B 选项内容错误，而 C 选项中作者提到 Leonhard1950 年以后还经常去他家，内容与文章末段提示的信息矛盾，故排除。根据文章第四段 As for Leonhard Seppala, famous as a dog sledder 和 but I do remember the ride well.可知 Leonhard Seppala 以驾雪橇的高超技术而著名，而且作者第一次的乘坐雪橇也是非常愉快的，故 D 选项错误，答案选 A。 A 考查主旨大意。文章开头提出自己在四岁的时候，一家人搬到了阿拉斯加，在那里他的冒险生活就开始了， 然后在下文中作者回忆了在那里发生的的事情，由此可知本文主要讲述了作者小时候的事情，是作者对童 年的回忆，选 A。 考点：考查故事类短文阅读。 【2014·全国新课标 II】A Arriving in Sydney on his own from India, my husband ,Rashid, stayed in a hotel for a short time while looking for a house for me and our children.

One day, this approach threw me into embarrassment In Mrs. Totten’s eighth-grade math class at Central Avenue School in Anderson, Indiana, we were learning to add and subtract decimals (小数). Our teacher typically assigned daily homework, which would be recited in class the following day. On most days, our grades were based on our oral answer to homework questions. Mrs. Totten usually walked up and down the rows of desks requesting answers from student after student in the order the questions had appeared on our homework sheets. She would start either at the front or the back of the classroom and work toward the other end. Since I was seated near the middle of about 35 students, it was easy to figure out which questions I might have to answer. This particular time, I had completed my usual two or three problems according to my calculations. What I failed to expect was that several students were absent, which threw off my estimate. As Mrs. Totten made her way from the beginning of the class，I desperately tried to determine which math problem I would get. I tried to work it out before she got to me, but I had brain freeze and couldn’t function. 真正的价值并不在人生的舞台上,而在我们扮演的角色中。 60 When Mrs. Totten reached my desk，she asked what answer I’d got for problem No. 14. “I…I didn’t get anything,” I answered，and my face felt warm. “Correct,” she said. It turned out that the correct answer was zero. What did I learn that day? First, always do all your homework. Second, in real life it isn’t always what you say but how you say it that matters. Third，I would never make it as a mathematician. If I could choose one school day that taught me the most, it would be that one. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 1 indicate? A.It is wise to value one’s time. B.It is important to make an effort C.It is right to stick to one’s belief. D.It is enough to do the necessary. Usually, Mrs. Totten asked her students to _______. A. recite their homework together B.grade their homework themselves C.answer their homework questions orally D.check the answers to their homework questions The author could work out which questions to answer since the teacher always _______.

I was never asked to take part even when one team had a member missing—not 真正的价值并不在人生的舞台上,而在我们扮演的角色中。 62 out of special cruelty, but because they took it for granted I would be no good at it. They were right, of course. I would never forget the wonderful evening when something changed. The baseball ended about eight or eight thirty when it grew dark. Then it was the custom of the boys to retire to a little stoop(门廊) that stuck out from the candy store on the corner and that somehow had become theirs. No grownup ever sat there or attempted to. There the boys would sit, mostly talking about the games played during the day and of the game to be played tomorrow. Then long silences would fall and the boys would wander off one by one. It was just after one of those long silences that my life as an outsider changed. I can no longer remember which boy it was that summer evening who broke the silence with a question: but whoever he was, I nod to him gratefully now. “What’s in those books you’re always reading?” he asked casually. “Stories,” I answered. “What kind?” asked somebody else without much interest. Nor do I know what drove me to behave as I did,for usually I just sat there in silence, glad enough to be allowed to reain among them; but instead of answering his question, I told them for two hours the story I was reading at the moment. The book was Sister Carrie. They listened bug-eyed and breathless. I must have told it well, but I think there was another and deeper reason that made them to keep an audience. Listening to a tale being told in the dark is one of the most ancient of man’s entertainments, but I was offering them as well, without being aware of doing it, a new and exciting experience. The books they themselves read were the Rover Boys or Tom Swift or G.A.Henty. I had read them too, but at thirteen I had long since left them behind. Since I was much alone I had become an enthusiastic reader and I had gone through the books-for-boys series. In those days there was no reading material between children’s and grownups’books or I could find none. I had gone right fromTome Swift and His Flying Machine to Theodore Dreiser and Sister Carrie. Dreiser had hit my young mind, and they listened to me tell the story with some of the wonder that I had had in reading it. The next night and many nights thereafter, a kind of unspoken ritual (仪式) took place. As it grew dark, I would take my place in the center of the stoop and begin the evening’s tale. Some nights, in order to taste my victory more completely, I cheated. I would stop at the most 真正的价值并不在人生的舞台上,而在我们扮演的角色中。 63 exciting part of a story by Jack London or Bret Harte, and without warning tell them that that was as far as I had gone in the book and it would have to be continued the following evening. It was not true, of course; but I had to make certain of my new-found power and position. I enjoyed the long summer evenings until school began in the fall. Other words of mine have been listened to by larger and more fashionable audiences, but for that tough and athletic one that sat close on the stoop outside the candy store, I have an unreasoning love that will last forever. Watching the boys playing baseball, the writer must have felt ________. A. bitter and lonely B. special and different C. pleased and excited D. disturbed and annoyed The writer feels grateful even now to the boy who asked the question because the boy ________. A. invited him to join in their game B. liked the book that he was reading C. broke the long silence of that summer evening D. offered him an opportunity that changed his life According to Paragraph 3, story-telling was popular among the boys basically because ________. A. the story was from a children’s book B. listening to tales was an age-old practice C. the boys had few entertainments after dark D. the boys didn’t read books by themselves The boys were attracted to Sister Carrie because ________. A. it was written by Theodore Dreiser B. it was specifically targeted at boys C. it gave them a deeper feeling of pleasure D. it talked about the wonders of the world Sometimes the writer stopped at the most exciting part of a story to _______.

Call it the piggy bank strategy(策略). There are lessons in that time-honored coin-saving container. Any huge task seems easier when reduced to baby steps. I f you wished to climb a 12,000-foot mountain, and could do it a day at a time, you would only have to climb 33 feet daily to reach the top in a year. If you want to take a really nice trip in 10 years for a special occasion, to collect the $15,000 cost, you have to save $3.93 a day. If you drop that into a piggy bank and then once a year put $1,434 in a savings account at 1% interest rate after-tax, you will have your trip money. When I was a child, my parents gave me a piggy bank to teach me that, if I wanted something, I should save money to buy it. We associate piggy banks with children, but in many countries, the little containers are also popular with adults. Europeans see a piggy bank as a sign of good fortune and wealth. Around the world, many believe a gift of a piggy bank on New Year’s Day brings good luck and financial success. Ah, but you have to put something in it. Why is a pig used as a symbol of saving? Why not an elephant bank, which is bigger and holds more coins? In the Middle Ages, before modern banking and credit instruments, people saved money at home, a few coins at a time dropped into a jar or dish. Potters(制陶工) made these inexpensive containers from an orange-colored clay(黏土) called “pygg,” and folks saved coins in pygg jars.The Middle English word 真正的价值并不在人生的舞台上,而在我们扮演的角色中。 66 for pig was “pigge”. While the Saxons pronounced pygg, referring to the clay, as “pug”, eventually the two words changed into the same pronunciation, sounding the “i” as in pig or piggy. As the word became less associated with the orange clay and more with the animal, a clever potter fashioned a pygg jar in the shape of a pig, delighting children and adults. The piggy bank was born. Originally you had to break the bank to get to the money, bringing in a sense of seriousness into savings. While piggy banks teach children the wisdom of saving, adults often need to relearn childhood lessons. Think about the things in life that require large amounts of money--- college education, weddings, cars, medical care, starting a business, buying a home, and fun stuff like great trips. So when you have money, take off the top 10%, put it aside, save and invest wisely. What is the piggy bank strategy? A. Paying 1% income tax at a time. B. Setting a goal before making a travel plan. C. Aiming high even when doing small things. D. Putting aside a little money regularly for future use. Why did the writer’s parents give him a piggy bank as a gift? A. To delight him with the latest fashion. B. To encourage him to climb mountains. C. To help him form the habit of saving. D. To teach him English pronunciation. What does then underlined word “something”(Paragraph 3) most probably refer to? A. Money B. Gifts C. Financial success D. Good luck The piggy ban originally was _________. A. a potter’s instrument B. a cheap clay container C. an animal-shaped dish D. a pig-like toy for children The last paragraph talks about ________. 真正的价值并不在人生的舞台上,而在我们扮演的角色中。 67 A. the seriousness of educating children B. the enjoyment of taking a great trip C. the importance of managing money D. the difficulty of starting a business 【答案】 D C A B C 【解析】 【试题分析】这是一篇记叙文。这篇短文给我们讲述的是小猪银行策略，即存钱罐定期地存钱，这样不仅 可以让孩子养成攒钱的好习惯，对于成年人来说，为以后的生活定期地存钱也是很有意义的。 D 细节理解题。什么是小猪银行策略？根据短文第二段的意思可知，如果你想要什么东西，你可以定期地往 你的小猪存钱罐里放入一些钱，直到你能攒够，去买你想要的东西。故选 D。 C 推理判断题。为什么作者的父母给了他一个小猪存钱罐作为礼物？根据短文第三段的内容可知，作者的父 母送给了他一个小猪存钱罐作为礼物，这样作者想要什么东西的话，就要自己慢慢存钱来买。所以这样就 可以帮助他养成一个存钱的习惯。故选 C。 A 词义猜测题。划线的单词 something 最有可能指代的是什么？根据这个单词所在的句子和这一段的内容 可知，有了存钱罐，你可以慢慢攒钱，买你想要的东西，当然，你必须得往里放钱。所以这里的 something 指的就是钱。故选 A。 B 细节理解题。小猪银行原本是什么？根据短文第四段的内容可知，很久以前，还没有现在的银行的时候， 人们在家里攒钱，把一颗颗硬币放在一个用黏土制成的罐子里。后来慢慢演变成了现在的存钱罐。故应该 选 B。 C 段落大意题。最后一段讲述的什么？根据短文最后一段的内容可知，这一段讲述的是我们用存钱罐攒钱的 意义是什么，他不仅可以使孩子养成存钱的习惯，而且对于大人们来说，为以后的生活定期地存钱也是很 有意义的。故应该选 C。 考点：故事类短文阅读。 真正的价值并不在人生的舞台上,而在我们扮演的角色中。 68 【2014·广东卷】C Like many new graduates, I left university full of hope for the future but with no real idea of what I wanted to do. My degree, with honors, in English literature had not really prepared me for anything practical. I knew I wanted to make a difference in the world somehow, but I had no idea how to do that. That’s when I learned about the Lighthouse Project. I started my journey as a Lighthouse Project volunteer by reading as much as I could about the experiences of previous volunteers. I knew it would be a lot of hard work, and that I would be away from my family and friends for a very long time. In short, I did not take my decision to apply for the Lighthouse Project lightly. Neither did my family. Eventually, however, I won the support of my family, and I sent in all the paperwork needed for the application. After countless interviews and presentations, I managed to stand out among the candidates and survive the test alone. Several months later, I finally received a call asking me to report for the duty. I would be going to a small village near Abuja, Nigeria. Where? What? Nigeria? I had no idea. But I was about to find out. After completing my training, I was sent to the village that was small and desperately in need of proper accommodation. Though the local villagers were poor, they offered their homes, hearts, and food as if I were their own family. I was asked to lead a small team of local people in building a new schoolhouse. For the next year or so, I taught in that same schoolhouse. But I sometimes think I learned more from my students than they did from me. Sometime during that period, I realized that all those things that had seemed so strange or unusual to me no longer did, though I did not get anywhere with the local language, and returned to the United States a different man. The Lighthouse Project had changed my life forever. What do we know about the author? A. His university education focused on the theoretical knowledge. B. His dream at university was to become a volunteer. C. He took pride in having contributed to the world. D. He felt honored to study English literature.

He had overcome all his weaknesses before he left for home. D. He was chosen as the most respectable teacher by his students. 【答案】 A D D C A 真正的价值并不在人生的舞台上,而在我们扮演的角色中。 70 A.考查细节理解。关于作者我们知道什么？根据 My degree, with honors, in English literature had not really prepared me for anything practical. 可知我所学的英语文学专业没有让我为实际生活做好准备， 故推断在大学里他主要学习的是理论知识。故选 A。 D.考查细节理解。根据第二段，作者很有可能怎么样？根据 I knew it would be a lot of hard work, and that I would be away from my family and friends for a very long time. 可知作者认为离开家人和 朋友很长时间是很困难的，故推断是令他难过的事情。故选 D。 D.考查推理判断。在申请志愿者工作中，作者做了些什么？根据 After countless interviews and presentations, I managed to stand out among the candidates and survive the test alone. 可知作 者在申请成为志愿者的过程中，成功地许多应聘者中脱颖而出，故推断竞争对手多，他面对来自对手的强 大竞争。故选 D。 C.考查细节理解。作者一到达那个村庄，就做什么事？根据 Though the local villagers were poor, they offered their homes, hearts, and food as if I were their own family. 可知作者到达那个村庄后， 村民们把他当做家庭成员提供给他很多东西，故推断他受到了热烈的欢迎。故选 C。选项 A，被要求领导一 个耕作组。根据 I was asked to lead a small team of local people in building a new schoolhouse. 可知他被要求领着当地人见校舍，故与原文不符。选项 B，他被派到学校教书。根据 For the next year or so, I taught in that same schoolhouse.可知第二年，他在那所学校教书，不是一到达那儿，故排除 B 项。选项 D，他被安排住在一个单独的房子里。根据 they offered their homes, hearts, and food as if I were their own family.可知他住在村民家，故排除 D 项。 A.考查推理判断。我们能从作者在尼日利亚的经历中推断出什么？根据 though I did not get anywhere with the local language, 可知作者在尼日利亚期间，由于语言的障碍没去任何地方。故推断他很难适应当地 的文化。故选 A。 考点：故事类短文阅读。 【2014·广东卷】B It was a cold winter day. A woman drove up to the Rainbow Bridge tollbooth (收费站). “I’m paying for myself, and for the six cars behind me,” she said with a smile, handing over seven tickets.

Judy Foreman spotted the same phrase on a warehouse wall far away from home. When it stayed on her mind for days, she gave up and drove all the way back to copy it down. “I thought it was beautiful,” she said, explaining why she’d taken to writing it at the bottom of all her letters, “like a message from above.” Her husband, Frank, liked the phrase so much that he put it up on the classroom wall for his students, one of whom was the daughter of Alice Johnson, a local news reporter. Alice put it in the newspaper, admitting that though she liked it, she didn’t know where it came from or what it really meant. Two days later, Alice got a call from Anne Herbert, a woman living in Marin. It was in a restaurant that Anne wrote the phrase down on a piece of paper, after turning it around in her mind for days. “Here’s the idea,” Anne says. “Anything you think there should be more of, do it randomly.” Her fantasies include painting the classrooms of shabby schools, leaving hot meals on kitchen tables in the poor part of town, and giving money secretly to a proud old lady. Anne says, “Kindness can build on itself as much as violence can.” The acts of random kindness spread. If you were one of those drivers who found your fare paid, who knows what you might have been inspired to do for someone else later. Like all great events, kindness begins slowly, with every single act. Let it be yours! Why did Natalie Smith pay for the six cars behind her? A. She knew the car drivers well. B.

As we were leaving, we found that only minutes earlier an elderly woman had fallen over at the entrance and had hit her head on the concrete. Her husband was with her, but there was blood everywhere and the woman was embarrassed and clearly in shock. Walking towards the scene, Tenyson became very upset about what had happened to the couple. He said to me, “Mum, it’s not much fun falling over in front of everyone.” At the front of the supermarket a charity(慈善) group had set up a stand selling cooked sausages and flowers to raise funds. Tenyson suggested that we should buy the lady a flower. “It will make her feel better,” he said. I was amazed that he’d come up with such a sweet idea. So we went over to the flower seller and asked her if we could buy a flower for the lady to cheer her up. “Just take it,” she replied. “I can’t take your money for such a wonderful gesture.” By now paramedics（救援人员）had arrived, and were attending the injured woman. As we walked up to her, my son became intimidated by all the blood and medical equipment. He said he was just too scared to go up to her. Instead I gave the flower to the woman’s husband and told him, “ My son was very upset for your wife and wanted to give her this flower to make her feel better.” At that, the old man started crying and said, “Thank you so much, you have a wonderful son.

I learned that shouting and threats of punishment would result in a disaster. Coming up against their behaviour could only make the job harder and their behaviour more extreme. I found something that worked, though. There was a very naughty boy in the nursery and a teacher who was generally very confident with the children was asked to take charge of him. One day the boy joined a session in the room next to mine. His appearance created an atmosphere of tension. He spent the entire session running around, hitting and kicking, and destroying property. I was in the craft room working with some other children when my co-worker told me that this boy’s teacher was in tears, and could not get control of the situation. As we were talking， the boy ran in. I told my co-worker that I would take care of him. I closed the door. He was full of energy, throwing things around and making a huge mess. But I could see that he was doing all these to annoy me. He needed connection, and this was the only way he knew how to ask for it. So I sat back down and kept quiet. Then he slowed down and began making a rocket. I talked to him about it. We continued like this for a few minutes before I slipped into the conversation: 真正的价值并不在人生的舞台上,而在我们扮演的角色中。 76 “So what happened today?” It was purely a question, no blame or anger in my tone. I believe that if I had criticized him, the gate that was slowly opening would have shut firmly closed. He told me that the teacher didn’t let him do what he knew well due to safety but asked him to do what he disliked. He also admitted that he had enjoyed making her run around and saw it as a game. I explained that his teacher had not seen it as a game and was very upset. This again was stated simply as a fact. I suggested that next time he had a session, he talk about what he hoped to do at the start， which might be easier for everyone. He agreed and was quiet for a moment. Then he looked at me with tears in his eyes before quietly asking if he could go to find his teacher to apologize. .The boy made trouble for his teacher because he_____ .

My longawaited dream came true the minute your father cried, “A girl！” You are more than just a second child, more than just a girl to match our boy. You, little daughter, are the link to our female line, the legacy of another woman's pain and sacrifice 31 years ago. Let me tell you about your Chinese grandmother. Somewhere in Hong Kong, in the late fifties, a young waitress found herself pregnant(怀孕) by a cook, probably a coworker at her restaurant. She carried the baby to term, suffered to give it birth, and kept the little girl for the first three months of her life. I like to think that my mother—your grandmother—loved me and fought to raise me on her own, but that the daily struggle was too hard. Worn down by the demands of 真正的价值并不在人生的舞台上,而在我们扮演的角色中。 78 the new baby and perhaps the constant threat of starvation, she made the painful decision to give away her girl so that both of us might have a chance for a better life. More likely, I was dropped at the orphanage(孤儿院) steps or somewhere else. I will probably never know the truth. Having a baby in her unmarried state would have brought shame on the family in China, so she probably kept my existence a secret. Once I was out of her life, it was as if I had never been born. And so you and your brother and I are the missing leaves on a family tree. Do they ever wonder if we exist? Before I was two, I was adopted by an Anglo couple. Fed three square meals a day, I grew like a wild weed and grasped all the opportunities they had to offer—books, music, education, church life and community activities. In a family of blueeyed blonds, though, I_stood_out_like_a_sore_thumb. Whether from jealousy or fear of someone who looked so different, my older brothers sometimes teased me about my unpleasing skin, or made fun of my clumsy walk. Moody and impatient, burdened by fears that none of us realized resulted from my early years of need, I was not an easy child to love. My mother and I conflicted countless times over the years, but gradually came to see one another as real human beings with faults and talents, and as women of strength in our own right. Lacking a mirror image in the mother who raised me, I had to seek my identity as a woman on my own. The Asian American community has helped me regain my double identity. But part of me will always be missing: my beginnings, my personal history, all the delicate details that give a person her origin. Nevertheless, someone gave me a lucky name “Siu Wai”. “Siu” means “little”， and “Wai” means “clever”. Therefore, my baby name was “Clever little one”. Who chose those words? Who cared enough to note my arrival in the world? I lost my Chinese name for 18 years. It was Americanized for convenience to “Sue”. But like an illfitting coat, it made me uncomfortable. I hated the name. But even more, I hated being Chinese. It took many years to become proud of my Asian origin and work up the courage to take back my birthname. That, plus a little knowledge of classroom Cantonese, is all the Chinese culture I have to offer you. Not white, certainly, but not really Asian, I try to pave the way between the two worlds and bridge the gap for you. Your name, “Shaoming”， is very much like mine—“Shao” means “little”. And “ming” is “bright”， as in a shining sun or moon. Whose 真正的价值并不在人生的舞台上,而在我们扮演的角色中。 79 lives will you brighten, little Maya?

He decided to take his daughter along with him. She was only ten years old. This would be her first trip with her father on what he had always been famous for. Larry first began diving when he was his daughter’s age. Similarly, his father had taken him along on one of his expeditions. Since then, he had never looked back. Larry started out by renting diving suits from the small diving shop just along the shore. He had hated them. They were either too big or too small. Then, there was the instructor. He gave him a short lesson before allowing him into the water with his father. He had made an exception. Larry would never have been able to go down without at least five hours of theory and another similar number of hours on practical lessons with a guide. Children his age were not even allowed to dive. After the first expedition, Larry’s later diving adventures only got better and better. There was never a dull moment. In his black and blue suit and with an oxygen tank fastened on his back, Larry dived from boats into the middle of the ocean. Dangerous areas did not prevent him from continuing his search. Sometimes, he was limited to a cage underwater but that did not bother him. At least, he was still able to take photographs of the underwater creatures. Larry’s first expedition without his father was in the Cayman Islands. There were numerous diving spots in the area and Larry was determined to visit all of them. Fortunately for him, a man offered to take him around the different Spots for free. Larry didn’t even know what the time was, how many spots he dived into or how many photographs he had taken. The diving spots afforded such a wide array of fish and sea creatures that Larry saw more than thirty varieties of creatures. Larry looked at his daughter.

He decided to take his daughter along with him.）告诉我们，Larry 再一次进行水下探险，但这一次不同，他决定带他女儿一起去。所以 D 选项正确。B 选项干扰性较大。该段最后一句是说：这是 Larry 成名后女儿第一次跟父亲去的水下探险。 Larry 的成名并不是此次探险的不同。 A 解析：推理判断题 从该段可知，本来像他这样年龄的小孩是不被允许水下探险的（Children his age were not even allowed to dive.，然而他是个例外（He had made an exception），并且下水之前，他必须接 受至少 5 小时的理论教育以及 5 小时以上的和老师一起下水的实践辅导。（Larry would never have been able to go down without at least five hours of theory and another similar number of hours on practical lessons with a guide.），由此推测，A 选项正确。 A 解析：推理判断题 第三段告诉我们，Larry 潜入深水中，一些危险区域也阻扰不了他的深水搜寻（Dangerous areas did not prevent him from continuing his search.）。而根据常识，在深水中人呆在铁笼中以防 危险的突发（如海底动物的袭击）。故选 A。 D 解析：句意理解与推测题 第四段告诉我们，有个人免费带他在水中在不同的区域探险，这样他得以亲眼 目睹到 30 多种以上类型的海洋生物（The diving spots afforded such a wide array of fish and sea creatures that Larry saw more than thirty varieties of creatures.），可以想象多么地其乐融融！ 以致忘记了时间，忘记了去了多少个地方，忘记了拍了多少张相片。所以 D 选项正确。 A 解析：细节理解题 从最后一段得知，Larry 看着他女儿，希望她能继承他家的传统（He hoped she would be able to continue the family tradition.）；瞧着她的勇敢劲儿，肯定能变为一个成功的水下探险者 （This was the key to a successful underwater expedition.）。故 A 选项正确。 【2014·重庆卷】D One moment it was quiet and calm in the forest, the next, the air was charged with tension. The elephant had heard the distant alarm calls of animals and her mood suddenly changed. I urged the elephant deeper into the forest. We sounded like a forest fire --- cracking, snapping, 真正的价值并不在人生的舞台上,而在我们扮演的角色中。 84 trailblazing. But through all the noise came a sharp warning cry. The elephant stopped and we heard it again --- the tell-tale call of a spotted deer. I looked quickly around the shadows of the forest. Rays of sunlight shone through tree branches, beneath which the patchwork（交错）of green plants and shadows-within-shadows would make tiger stripes（条纹）look more attractive. Apart from an occasional noise from the elephant’s stomach, the forest was silent. Gradually, the tension slipped from our bodies. The elephant seized a nearby branch and put it into its mouth. I reached forward and gently moved my hand over the elephant’s neck; there was a soft part, free of wrinkles and hairs, behind her ear. This was my fourth time to sense the aura of the forest in Corbett, although I saw no tigers in the end. Located at the foot of the Himalayan mountains, Corbett is home to about 135 Bengal tigers, but the forest seemed to be guarding their whereabouts（出没处）, a silent reminder of their secrecy and rarity. Still, I was happy enough touching the elephant behind the ear. If I had so desperately wanted to see a tiger, I could have gone to a zoo. After all, spotting tigers merely confirms their beauty; tracking them can make you aware of something more. . Which of the following was a clear signal of alarm? A. The elephant stopped. B. A spotted deer called. C. The elephant seized a branch. D. The forest was silent for a while. . The author begins his account of the tour in the forest mainly by _______. A. describing various sounds B. comparing different animals C. listing different activities D. introducing various plants . What does the underlined part “to sense the aura” most probably mean? A. To see the diversity. B. To enjoy the scenery. C. To feel the atmosphere. D. To experience the freedom. . How does the author feel after several visits to Corbett? A. Seeing a Bengal tiger is quite thrilling. B. It is very time-consuming to travel in Corbett. C. It is really worthwhile to study the animals in Corbett. D. The process of finding Bengal tigers is most appealing. 真正的价值并不在人生的舞台上,而在我们扮演的角色中。 85 【答案】 B A C D 推断题。从第一段 distant alarm calls, all the noise, a sharp warning cry 等词语可知，作者开头 描述了森林里的各种声音。选择 A。 词义推断题。从上下文可知，作者去森林是为了感受追踪老虎的那份神秘、兴奋和紧张的氛围。故选择 C 项。 主旨大意题。文章最后一段 After all, spotting tigers merely confirms their beauty; tracking them can make you aware of something more.一句告诉我们，在作者看来，真正看见老虎只是证实它们的美， 并且直接去动物园就可以实现这个目的；但是追踪老虎却能带来更多感受，作者真正感兴趣的是这个过程。 故选择 D 项。 考点：记叙文。 【2014·北京卷】B The Brown Bear My wife Laura and I were on the beach, with three of our children, taking pictures of shore birds near our home in Alaska when we spotted a bear. The bear was thin and small, moving aimlessly. Just a few minutes later, I heard my daughter shouting, “Dad! The bear is right behind us!” An agreesive bear will usually rush forward to frighten away its enemy but would suddenly stop at the last minute. This one was silent and its ears pinned back---- the sign (迹象) of an animal that is going in for the kill. And it was a cold April day. The bear behaved abnormally, probably because of hunger. 真正的价值并不在人生的舞台上,而在我们扮演的角色中。 86 I held my camera tripod (三脚架) in both hands to form a barrier as the bear rushed into me. Its huge head was level with my chest and shoulders, and the tripod stuck across its mouth. It bit down and I found myself supporting its weight. I knew I would not be able to hold it for long. Even so, this was a fight I had to win: I was all that stood between the bear and my family, who would stand little chance of running faster than a brown bear. The bear hit at the camera, cutting it off the tripod. I raised my left arm to protect my face; the beast held tightly on the tripod and pressed it into my side. My arm could not move, and I sensed that my bones were going to break. Drawing back my free hand, I struck the bear as hard as I could for five to six times. The bear opened its mouth and I grasped its fur, trying to push it away. I was actually wrestling (扭打) with the bear at this point. Then, as suddenly as it had begun, the fight ended. The bear moved back toward the forest, before returning for another attack----- The first time I felf panic. Apparently satisfied that we caused no further threat, the bear moved off, destroying a fence as it went. My arm was injured, but the outcome for us could hardly have been better. I’m proud that my family reminded clear-headed when panic could have led to a very different outcome. 60. The brown bear approached the family in order to _______. A. catch shore birds B. start an attack C. protect the children D. set up a barrier for itself 61. The bear finally went away after it _______. A. felt safe B. got injured C. found some food D. took away the camera 62. The writer and his family survived mainly due to their ______ . A. pride B. patience C. calmness D. cautiousness 【答案】 B A C 【解析】 真正的价值并不在人生的舞台上,而在我们扮演的角色中。 87 【文章大意】本篇是一篇故事，介绍的是我和全家人在海滩上拍照时突遇一头棕熊的遭遇。作者和熊进行 了搏斗，最后棕熊感觉他们没有威胁时，返回了森林。 B 考查细节阅读。A 项为无效信息，因为文中没有提到棕熊捕杀鸟类的事情；B 项是由“An aggressive bear will usually rush forward to frighten away its enemy”推测而来，因此是正确答案；C 项为错误答案， 棕熊袭击了他们，而不是来保护作者的孩子们；D 项是倒置了文中的内容，文中提到作者提起照相机的三脚 架作为保护自己和孩子的屏障，而不是棕熊建立屏障。 A 考查细节理解。根据文章最后一段中“Apparently satisfied that we caused no further threat”可 知，棕熊是因为没了威胁才走的，也就是感到了安全。B、C、D 选项都是文中没有提到的信息，为无效信息。 C 考查细节推理。根据文章最后一段内容“I’m proud that my family reminded clear-headed when panic could have led to a very different outcome”可知，他们全家保持了头脑清晰（clear-headed），如 不如此，可能结果迥异了。所以，他们全家无虞全仰仗他们的冷静（calmness）。D. cautiousness 小心， 谨慎，与文章内容不合。 考点：考查故事类阅读 【2014·重庆卷】A I was never very neat, while my roommate Kate was extremely organized.

Meanwhile, Ann went to the dollar store and bought some pet supplies, warning her two sons not to fall in love with the dog. At the time, Ann’s son Thomas was 10 years old, and Jack, who was recovering from a heart operation, was 21 years old. Four days later Ann was still looking after the dog, whom they had started to call Riley. When she arrived home from work, the dog threw itself against the screen door and barked madly at her. As soon as she opened the door, Riley dashed into the boys’ room where Ann found Jack suffering from a heart attack. Riley ran over to Jack, but as soon as Ann bent over to help him the dog went silent. “If it hadn’t come to get me, the doctor said Jack would have died,” Ann reported to a local newspaper. At this point, no one had called to claim the dog, so Ann decided to keep it. The next morning Tracy got a call. A man named Peter recognized his lost dog and called the number on the flier. Tracy started crying, and told him, “That dog saved my friend’s son.” Peter drove to Ann’s house to pick up his dog, and saw Thomas and Jack crying in the window.

Needless to say, it was too hot to do anything outside. But it was also scorching in our apartment. This was 1962, and I would not live in a place with an air conditioner for another ten years. So my brother and I decided to leave the apartment to find someplace indoors. He suggested we could see a movie. It was a brilliant plan. Movie theaters were one of the few places you could sit all day and—most important —sit in air conditioning. In those days, you could buy one ticket and sit through two movies. Then, the theater would show the same two movies again. If you wanted to, you could sit through them twice. Most people did not do that, but the manager at our theater. Mr. Bellow did not mind if you did. That particular day, my brother and I sat through both movies twice, trying to escape the heat. We bought three bags of popcorn and three sodas each. Then, we sat and watched The Music Man followed by The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance. We’d already seen the second movie once before. It had been at the theater since January, because Mr. Bellow loved anything with John Wayne in it. We left the theater around 8, just before the evening shows began. But we returned the next day and saw the same two movies again, twice more. And we did it the next day too. Finally, on the fourth day, the heat wave broke. Still, to this day I can sing half the songs in The Music Man and recite half of John Wayne and Jimmy Stewart’s dialogue from The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance! Those memories are some of the few I have of the heat wave of 1962. They’re really memories of the screen, not memories of my life. 46.In which year did the author first live in a place with an air conditioner? A. 1952 B. 1962 C. 1972 D. 1982 47.What does the underlined word”It” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A. The heat B. The theater. C. The Music Man D. The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance 48.What do we know about Mr. Bellow? 真正的价值并不在人生的舞台上,而在我们扮演的角色中。 92 A. He loved children very much. B. He was a fan of John Wayne. C. He sold air conditioners. D. He was a movie star. 49.Why did the author and his/her brother see the same movies several times? A. The two movies were really wonderful. B. They wanted to avoid the heat outside. C. The manager of the theater was friendly. D. They liked the popcorn and the soda at the theater. 50.What can we learn from the last paragraph? A. The author turned out to be a great singer. B. The author enjoyed the heat wave of 1962. C. The author’s life has been changed by the two movies. D. The author considers the experience at the theater unforgettable. 【答案】 C D B B D 【文章大意】这是一篇记叙文。本文讲述了作者小时候为了避暑和弟弟到电影院去一遍一遍看电影，以至 于多年时候还记得电影里面的歌曲和对白，表达了自己对以往那段在电影院里度过的时光的怀念之情。 【解析】 C 考查细节理解。由第二段第三句“This was 1962,I wuold not live in a place with air conditioner for another ten years”可知，作者在 10 年后住进了有空调的房子。故选 C。 考查类别统一为：考查细节理解。考查猜测词义。考查判断推理。考查主旨要义；考查文章标题； D 考查指代判断。由第三段第三句和第四句“Then，we sat and watched The Music Man followed by The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance.

His family says that even when he was a young boy, Samuel heard someone read a story, and then he could retell the story word for word. Samuel is still only a teenager.

I really enjoyed the work, and most of the men accepted me because I worked hard at it. I think that at first, they didn't think I could do it. But I got right in there and proved myself. I was a lineman for about three years. Then l went on to work at other outdoor jobs at the company before l retired in 1997. I decided to become a lineman because I wanted to work outdoors. I was a tomboy(假小子) as a child and even built my own tree house, so you could say I had a little experience. My husband, William, encouraged me to give the job a try. After work, I liked to drive around town and show him the wires I'd spliced (加固) that day. People were surprised to see a female lineman. They'd say, “Look, that's a woman up that pole." One day I heard a man say, “Oh, look, there's a telephone man-woman!" Safety belts and hooks minimized the risk of falling, but concentration was essential. Sometimes I felt a little nervous, but the guys told me I was less likely to fall if I wasn't too confident. It helped that I was strong, because the cables and equipment are heavy. I'm not sure every woman could have done what I did. 1 took a lot of pride in it. 25. When the author first became a lineman, .

But its wonders sounded so incredible that they were forever burned in his memory. From that moment, he never stopped searching for clues which might lead him to the island. He read hundreds of adventure books, histories, volumes of physics and chemistry, even music. Over time, he pieced together his idea of what the Island of Inventions was like. It was a secret place, where all the great wise men of the world would meet to learn and invent together. Access to the island was totally restricted. To join, you had to have created some great invention for humanity. Only then could you receive the special invitation — which came with directions to the island. So Luca spent his youth studying and inventing. Every new idea he got, he made it into an invention, and if there were something he didn't understand, he’d seek others to help him. Soon he met other young inventors and he told them about the Island of Inventions. They too dreamed of one day receiving an invitation letter. As years passed, t he disappointment of not receiving their invitation made Luca and his friends work harder and co-operate more. They would meet in Luca's house, share their ideas and build new machines. Their inventions became known throughout the world, and improved the lives of millions. But still, no invitation came. 真正的价值并不在人生的舞台上,而在我们扮演的角色中。 105 They didn’t lose heart. They continued learning and inventing every day, trying to come up with more and better ideas. Fresh young talent joined their group, as more inventors dreamed of getting to the island. One day many years later, Luca, already very old, was speaking with a brilliant young man named Roberts, who had written to him, asking him to join the group. Luca started telling the man of the wonderful Island of Inventions, and of how he was sure that some day they would receive an invitation. Surprised, the young inventor interrupted: “You mean this place isn’t the Island of Inventions? Isn't the letter you sent me the real invitation?” It was only then that Luca realised that his dream had become true in his very own house. No island could exist which would be better than where he was now. No place of invention would be better than what he and his friends had created. Luca felt happy to know that he had always been on the island, and that his life of invention and study had been a truly happy one. 13. Why did Luca and his colleagues probably never receive an invi tation to the island? A. Their ideas were not considered worthy enough. B. They were too concerned with acquiring fame. C. The organization had already broken up. D. The island was not a real place. 14. What did Luca learn at the end of the story? A. The island of inventions did not exist. B. He had wasted most of his life. C. He had unknowingly built his own dreamland. D. He finally would receive his invitation. 15. Which of the following best describes Luca? A. Aggressive. B. Trusting.

I refused to use a white stick and hated asking for help. After all, I was a teenage girl, and I couldn’t bear people to look at me and think I was not like them. I must have been a terrible danger on the roads. Coming across me wandering through the traffic, motorists probably would have to stop rapidly on their brakes. Apart from that, there were all sorts of disasters that used to occur on the way to and from work. One evening, I got off the bus about halfway home where I had to change buses, and as usual I ran into something. “I’m awfully sorry,” I said and stepped forward only to run into it again. When it happened a third time, I realized I had been apologizing to a lamppost. This was just one of the stupid things that constantly happened to me. So I carried on and found the bus stop, which was a request stop, where the bus wouldn’t stop unless passengers wanted to get on or off. No one else was there and I had to guess if the bus had arrived. Generally in this situation, because I hated showing I was blind by asking for help, I tried to guess at the sound. Sometimes I would stop a big lorry and stand there feeling stupid as it drew away. In the end, I usually managed to swallow my pride and ask someone at the stop for help. But at this particular evening no one joined me at the stop; it seemed that everyone had suddenly decided not to travel by bus. Of course I heard plenty of buses pass, or I thought I did. But because I had given up stopping them for fear of making a fool of myself, I let them all go by. I stood there alone for half an hour without stopping one. Then I gave up. I decided to walk on to the next stop. 24. The girl refused to ask for help because she thought_________.

What was the problem with guessing at the sound to stop a bus? A. Other vehicles also stopped there. B. It was unreliable for making judgments. C. More lorries than buses responded to the girl. D. It took too much time for the girl to catch the bus. 27. Finally the girl decided to walk to the next stop, hoping__________. A. to find people there B. to find more buses there C. to find the bus by herself there D. to find people more helpful there 【答案】 24D 25C 26B 27A 真正的价值并不在人生的舞台上,而在我们扮演的角色中。 109 25. C 细节理解题。根据第二段第二句 When it happened a third time, I realized I had been apologizing to a lamppost.可知那天晚上我撞上了电线杆，而且撞了三次。故 C 正确。 26. B 推理判断题。根据第三段前两句 Generally in this situation, because I hated showing I was blind by asking for help, I tried to guess at the sound. Sometimes I would stop a big lorry and stand there feeling stupid as it drew away.可知我根据声音来判断开来的车是不是公交车，但是我经常会拦 错车，会感觉很糟糕。也就是说根据声音做判断有时会出错，是不值得信赖的。故 B 正确。 27. A 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段首尾句 But at this particular evening no one joined me at the stop 和 Then I gave up. I decided to walk on to the next stop.可知我在车站等了很长时间，但是一 直没有人来。我不得不步行到下一个站，希望那里有人能帮助我拦车。故 A 正确。 【名师点睛】 记叙文答题技巧 ：一把钥匙开一把锁。要解答好记叙文阅读理解题，就应该有一套针对性强的方法和技 巧。下面是我们在阅读教学中积累下来的一点心得体会，希望能对大家有所帮助。 一：顺藤摸瓜。 记叙文中有大量的事件发展过程中的细节，包括记叙文的 5W（what, who, when, where, why）要素。 因此我们作答细节题的时候，就没有那么复杂，一般只需要由前到后，从上到下，一题一题地做就可以 了。 二：左顾右盼。 在做题过程中，我们大都不能在文中找到与题干一字不差的词语或句子。这时我们需要认真研究问题，抓 住题干中的关键词语，然后到文中准确地找到与之相关的语句，或是疑似语句的位置，接着去左顾，或右 盼，在前句或后句寻找线索。 三：刨根问底。 如前所述，主旨大意题或推理判断、作者意图题等实际上是同一类型的问题，或者说是可用同种方法解答 的题型。在解答此类题目的时候，不可被题干的表象所迷惑，要像剥洋葱一样，一层一层地剥；在四个可 选 项 中 ， 一 个 一 个 地 去 证 实 ， 去 排 除 。 特 别 是 解 答 推 论 或 暗 指 类 的 题 目 ， 比 如 “What can be inferred from …?”或是 What does the author imply in…?”之类的题目， 文中所陈述的往往不是答案。我们要在文前文后去查找，在字里行间里去寻觅。有时还少不了借助自己的 生活经验和常理来体会这言外之意。 四：拨云见日。 每年的高考阅读题中，特别是记叙文的阅读题，都会出现一至两道词义猜测题。而这些词汇往往是你素昧 真正的价值并不在人生的舞台上,而在我们扮演的角色中。 110 平生的，或者和你有点头之交，在文中却另有新意的，总之，猜的是那些在高考词汇表要求之外的词汇。 小小的一个词，一个短语，考核的不是你的语法的熟练程度，也不是你的记忆力，而是你对文章通篇或者 一个段落的整体把握和变通能力。 这时，你不仅需要“左顾右盼”，还需要在几句话，一个段落，乃至整篇文章的字里行间中快速搜寻，看 看前面、后面都发生了些什么；反复琢磨人物、事物，或者人物与事物之间的内在联系，才可能在最后拨 开团团迷雾，从四个选项中选出正确答案。 考点：考查记叙文阅读 6.B 【广东省华南师范大学附属中学、广东实验中学、深圳中学、广雅中学四校 2016 届高三上学期期末联 考】On May 28th, 1998 I was driving my 13-year-old daughter and 14-year-old son to school.

How could they stay there? She wondered. Mary had not seen Mark in years, until the other day when he came into the café where she worked. His appearance was different from when he was in high school. Now, he was a bit fat and 真正的价值并不在人生的舞台上,而在我们扮演的角色中。 113 thick glasses covered his eyes. However, that didn’t change Mary’s feelings for him at all. He had just bought a brand new red sports car and asked her if she would like to go for a ride and then have dinner with him. Her heart beat with excitement as he opened the door for her. She noticed something very strange as Mark got into the car and started to drive away. On the hair was a group of flies just sitting there. Mary stared in amazement. It seemed the faster they drove, the more determined the flies were to stick to his hair. Mary remained silent. She leaned forward and turned the radio on, to try to divert her attention away from the flies, but she couldn’t help thinking about them. She looked up at Mark, who was completely devoted to what was going on and continued to sing to the music while driving merrily along. Finally, Mark pulled the vehicle over to the side of the road beside a diner and looked in the mirror and said, “Mary, I would like to comb my hair before we get something to eat. Could you reach under the seat and give me my hair cream?” Mary reached under the seat and pulled out a camping backpack, which contained a round jar and started to laugh wildly as she pointed to the label (商标). “That’s not hair cream on your hair, Mark! It says it’s Fly Trap Glue!” 24. What can we learn from the text? A. Mark had bought a new sports car for Mary. B. Mark used to be a thin, handsome boy. C. Mark and Mary had been in love for years. D. Mary felt strange when she saw the red car. 25. What does the underlined word “divert” in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Replace. B. Absorb. C. Take. D. Recover. 26. Why did Mary burst into laughter? A. Because Mary played a trick on Mark. B. Because their ride wasn’t well prepared. C. Because Mark had prepared a jar of hair cream for her. D. Because Mark had mistaken Fly Trap Glue for hair cream. 真正的价值并不在人生的舞台上,而在我们扮演的角色中。 114 27. What can be the best title for this passage? A. Stuck on you. B. Unchanged love. C. A hair trick. D. A wonderful ride. 【答案】 24B 25C 26D 27A 25. C 猜测词义题。根据后半句 but she couldn’t help thinking about them.但是她情不自禁地还是想 起他头上的那些苍蝇。说明 She leaned forward and turned the radio on, to try to divert her attention away from the flies 她打开收音机是想把注意力从苍蝇上分散掉。所以该词意为“take...away from... 把...从...拿开”故 C 正确。 26. D 推理判断题。根据文章最后一句“That’s not hair cream on your hair, Mark! It says it’s Fly Trap Glue!”可知 Mark 错把蝇胶当成了头油，导致了之前的苍蝇一直留着头发上。这才是 Mary 大笑的原 因，故 D 正确。 27. A 标题概括题。本文是记叙文阅读，讲述来了久别重逢的 Mark 和 Mary 一起出去吃饭，Mary 发现苍蝇 一直黏再 Mark 的头发上，后来才知道 Mark 错把蝇胶当成了头油。所以 A 项“Stuck on you”“粘在你身上” 符合文章。BCD 是那些与文章不相符，没有体现出文章的内容。 【名师点睛】 本文属于猜测词义题，这是高考中常考的题型。同时猜词是应用英语的重要能力。它不但需要准确无误地 理解上下文，而且要有较大的泛读量，掌握或认识较多的课外词汇。我们要学会“顺藤摸瓜”，通过构词， 语法，定义，同位，对比，因果，常识，上下文等线索确定词义。 1. 定义法 真正的价值并不在人生的舞台上,而在我们扮演的角色中。 115 It will be very hard but also very brittle...that is, it will break easily. 从后面的解释中我们可以了解到 brittle 是“脆”的意思。 2. 同位法 They traveled a long way, at last got to a castle, a large building in ol d times. 同位语部分 a large building in old times 给出了 castle 的确切词义，即 “城堡”。 3. 对比法 She is usually prompt for all her class, but today she arrived in the midd le of her first class. but 一词表转折，因此 but 前后的意思正相反。后半句的意思是她今天“第 一节上了一半才来”，因此反向推理，可得出她平时一向“准时”的结论。 4. 构词法(前缀、后缀、复合、派生等) Perhaps, we can see some possibilities for next fifty years. possibility 是 possible 的 同 根 名 词 ， 据 此 可 以 断 定 possibility 意 思 是 “ 可 能 性”。 5. 因果法 The lack of movement caused the muscles to weaken. Sometimes the weakness wa s permanent. So the player could never play the sport again. 从后面的结果“永远不能再运动”中，可以推测 permanent 的意思为“永远的，永久的”。 考点：考查记叙文阅读 8.A【黑龙江省哈尔滨师大附中、东北师大附中、辽宁省实验中学 2016 届三高第一次三校联合模拟】When I was young, my father had one of the first telephones in our neighborhood. I remember the shiny box on the wall. But I was too little to reach it, I could only listen to my mother talk on it. I discovered that inside the wonderful box lived an amazing person whose name was Information Please. There was nothing she did not know. One day my mother went out. I accidentally hurt my finger when I was playing with a hammer. I walked around the house sucking my hurting finger, finally seeing the telephone. Quickly I dragged a chair over and climbed up. “Information Please,” I spoke into the receiver. A click or two and a small clear voice spoke into my ear, “Information.” 真正的价值并不在人生的舞台上,而在我们扮演的角色中。 116 “I hurt my finger…” I cried into the phone. “Isn’t your mother home?” came the question. “Nobody’s home but me.” I sobbed. “Are you bleeding?” the voice asked. “No,” I replied. “I hit my finger with the hammer and it hurts.” “Can you open your icebox?” she asked. I said I could. “Then take a little piece of ice and hold it to your finger.” Said the voice. After that, I called “Information Please” for everything. I asked her for help with my geography and she told me where Philadelphia was. She helped me with my math. She told me her name was Sally. Then there was the time my pet canary (金丝雀) died. I called “Information Please” and told Sally the sad story. “Why is it that birds sing so beautifully and bring joy to all families, only to end up as a pile of feathers?” She listened, then said quietly, “Paul, always remember that there are other worlds to sing in.” Somehow I felt better. One day when I called “Information Please” again, a different voice answered “Information.” I asked for Sally. “Are you a friend?” she said. “Yes.” I answered “I’m sorry to have to tell you this,” she said. “She died five days ago.” Before I could hang up she said, “Wait a minute. Did you say your name was Paul?” “Yes!” “Well, Sally left a message for you. The note said, “Tell him I still say there are other worlds to sing in. He’ll know what I mean.” I thanked her and hung up. I knew what Sally meant. 21. When the author hurt his finger, he rang because______. A. he believed that the telephone knew everything.

Singing helped Paul to face death more easily. D. There was no need for Paul to call her anymore. 24. What is the best title for this passage? A. My Pet’s Death B. An Amazing Woman C. A Healing Message D. My Magic Box 【答案】 21A 22C 23B 24D 22. C 推理判断题。根据第六段：“I hurt my finger…” I cried into the phone. “Isn’t your mother home?” came the question. “Nobody’s home but me.” I sobbed. “Are you bleeding?” the voice asked. “No,” I replied. “I hit my finger with the hammer and it hurts.” “Can you open your icebox?” she asked. I said I could. “Then take a little piece of ice and hold it to your finger.” Said the voice.从他们之间的对话内容可知 Sally 很耐心地指导“我”如何处理自己的伤口。说明她是一 个很体贴细致的人。ABD 三项从文章中都看不到证据。故 C 正确。 23.

D 标题概括题。家里的电话一直挂在墙上的盒子里，有一次我手指受伤求助电话。从此我就和这个盒 子里的 Sally 接下来友谊直至她去世。她给了我很多帮助和安慰。D 项“My Magic Box”与文章第一段“I remember the shiny box on the wall.”相联系。而且很醒目，能吸引读者。ABC 三项与文章内容并没有 太大的关系。 【名师点睛】 本文属于主旨大意题中的标题概括题，一直以来都是得分率较低的一种题型。我们可以使用选帽原则来选 择最好的标题。 标题可以是单词、短语，也可以是句子，它高度概括了文章内容，点明文章主题，它是文章中心思想最精 练的表达形式。那如何选择文章的标题呢？如同选择文章的主题思想一样，标题要有概括性、全面性、针 对性。标题要避免概括不够，即以部分代整体，或以事实细节代替具体的大意；也要避免概括过度，即脱 离了文本内容的过度发挥，导致标题范围太大，缺乏针对性。像帽子一样，大小合适才行。另外，标题要 简洁、突出、新颖。标题是文章的点睛之笔，所以它还要具有醒目的特点，能吸引读者。 本文的标题 D“My Magic Box”醒目能吸引读者的注意力。让人联想，这是一个什么样的盒子，会继续向下 阅读。达到了标题的设题目的。 考点：考查记叙文阅读 9.B【黑龙江省哈尔滨师大附中、东北师大附中、辽宁省实验中学 2016 届三高第一次三校联合模拟】Tu Youyou has become the first Chinese woman to win a Nobel Prize, for her work in helping to create an anti-malaria(疟疾) medicine. The 84-year-old’s route to the honour has been anything but traditional. In China, she is being called the "three nos" winner: no medical degree, no doctorate, and she’s never worked overseas. In 1967, malaria, a then deadly disease, spread by mosquitoes was decimating Chinese soldiers fighting Americans in the jungles of northern Vietnam. A secret research unit “Mission 523 “was formed to find a cure for the illness. Two years later, Tu Youyou was instructed to become the new head of “Mission 523”. “Mission523” read ancient books carefully for a long time to find historical methods of fighting malaria. When she started her search for an anti-malarial drug, more than 240,000 compounds(化合物) around the world had already been tested, without any success. Finally, the 真正的价值并不在人生的舞台上,而在我们扮演的角色中。 119 team found a brief reference to one substance, sweet wormwood（青蒿）, which had been used to treat malaria in China around 400 AD. The team took out one active compound in wormwood, and then tested it. But nothing was effective until Tu Youyou returned to the original ancient text. After another careful reading, she changed the drug recipe one final time, heating the compound without allowing it to reach boiling point. After the drug showed promising results in mice and monkeys, Tu Youyou volunteered to be the first human recipient of the new drug. “ In any case, Tu Youyou is consistently praised for her drive and passion. One former colleague. Lianda Li, says Ms Tu is “unsociable and quite straightforward”, adding that “if she disagrees with something, she will say it.” Another colleague, Fuming Liao, who has worked with Tu Youyou for more than 40 years, describes her as a “tough and stubborn woman”. Stubborn enough to spend decades piecing together ancient texts, she applies them to modern scientific practices. The result has saved millions of lives. 25. According to Para.

After a little hesitation, he took out what he had stolen. Mr. Carr said, “Maybe I should call your mother and let her know I'm going to have to put you in prison.” Alfred thought his mother would come rushing in, eyes burning with anger. But, to his surprise, she arrived wearing a smile. “Hello, I'm Alfred's mother. Is he in trouble?” she said. Mr. Carr was surprised, too. He had expected Alfred's mother to come in nervously, shaking with fear, asking with wet eyes for a mercy for her son. But no, she was most calm, quiet and pleasant and was making Mr. Carr feel guilty…. Soon Mr. Carr was shaking his head in agreement with what she was saying. “Of course”, he said, “I don't want to be cruel. You are right. Sometimes, a little good advice is the best thing for a boy at certain times in his life and it often takes the youths long time to get sense into their heads.” And he warmly shook Mrs. Higgins's hand.

I spent some time alone that evening, thinking about the tragedy that might have been． The next morning, when Anton got up, I half expected him to tell me the story． But all he did was toast some bread, pull himself together, and head for the door to start a new day． Watching from the window,1 was reminded that still water often runs deep． 真正的价值并不在人生的舞台上,而在我们扮演的角色中。 133 21．Why did the mother allow her son to swim there?

Over the next six years, I was treading water, just trying to earn an income. I tried journalism, but I didn’t think I was any good, then finance, which I hated. Finally, I got a job as a rights assistant at a famous publisher. I loved working with books, although the job that I did was dull. I had enough savings to take a year off work, and I decided to try to satisfy a deep down wish to write a novel. Attending a Novel Writing MA course gave me the structure I needed to write my first 55,000 words. It takes confidence to make a new start there’s a dark period in-between where you’re neither one thing nor the other. You’re out for dinner and people ask what you do, and you’re too ashamed to say, Well, I’m writing a novel, but I’m not quite sure if I’m going to get there. My confidence dived. Believing my novel could not be published, I put it aside. Then I met an agent（代理商）who said I should send my novel out to agents. So, I did and, to my surprise, got some wonderful feedback. I felt a little hope that I might actually become a published writer and, after signing with an agent, I finished the second half of the novel. The next problem was finding a publisher. After two-and-a-half years of no income, just waiting and wondering, a publisher offered me a book deal — that publisher turned out to be the one I once worked for. It feels like an unbelievable stroke of luck — of fate, really. When you set out to do something different, there’s no end in sight, so to find myself in a position where I now have my own name on a contract（合同）of the publisher — to be a published writer — is unbelievably rewarding. 21. The author decided to write a novel ______. A. to finish the writing course B. to realize her own dream C. to satisfy readers’ wish D. to earn more money 22. How did the writer feel halfway with the novel? 真正的价值并不在人生的舞台上,而在我们扮演的角色中。 135 A. Disturbed. B. Ashamed. C. Confident D. Uncertain. 23. What does the author mainly want to tell readers in the last paragraph? A. It pays to stick to one’s goal. B. Hard work can lead to success. C. She feels like being unexpectedly lucky. D. There is no end in sight when starting to do something. 【文章大意】文章中主人公“我”是一个有着英语文学学位的毕业生，但对自己做什么工作在开始的时候 很迷茫，先是做记者，然后到出版商那里工作，后来有了足够的积蓄暂停了工作去搞写作，开始时对自己 的写作并没有足够的信心，见了一次出版商，把自己的作品送了过去结果得到了好的反馈，从而增加了信 心，最终取得了成功。 【答案解析】 21.B。解析：细节理解题 根据第二段第一句 I had enough savings to take a year off work, and I decided to try to satisfy a deep-down wish to write a novel.句意为：我有了足够的积蓄请一年的假期，决 定去满足我写作的这种内心的深层欲望。由此可知决定写小说是为了实现自己的梦想。注意 C 选项是说 reader’s wish,就错在 reader。 22.D。解析：判断推理题 My confidence dived. Believing my novel could not be published, I put it aside.句意为：我的信心急剧下降，认为，我的小说可能不会被印刷，我把它放在了一边，由此可知作者 对自己的小说是没有把握的。 23.A。解析：判断推理题 最后一自然段的大意为：我感觉似乎是难以置信的运气，当你开始去做一些不同 常的事情时，我们是看不到结局的。我最终还是在出版商的合同上找到了自己的名字，也就是说自己的小 说还是出版了，这是一次难以置信的回报。因此是想告诉我们坚持自己的目标就会得到回报。 【英语卷·2015 届河北省邯郸市馆陶县一中高三调研考试（201407）】 His first successful fight was for the equal rights of black people in South Africa.

The balcony was on the twelfth floor of the high-rise block next to his. His flat was on the ninth floor and he had to look up to see her. It was half-past six in the morning. He had been awakened by the sound of an aircraft flying dangerously low overhead, and had got out of bed to look. His sleepy eyes, moved from the blue sky which was empty of cloud, empty of anything but the bright disappearing arrow of the aircraft, and then rested on the hanging figure. He really thought he must be dreaming, for this sunrise time was the hour for dreams. Then, when he knew he wasn’t, he decided it must be a scene in a film. There were cameramen down there, a whole film unit, and all the correct safety precautions had been taken. Probably the girl wasn’t even a real girl, but a dummy(假人). He opened the window and looked down. The car park, paved courts, grass spaces between the blocks, all were deserted. On the balcony rail one of the dummy’s hands moved, desperately.

Again he was able to enter and leave his flat without being pointed at as a kind of St George and sometimes even congratulated. About a fortnight after that morning, he was getting ready to go to the theatre, just putting on his overcoat, when the doorbell rang. He didn’t recognize the girl who stood outside.

But by the age of twenty, he had spent all the money the good old family had. He then had some trouble with the bank and was put in prison. He escaped from the prison and ran to Australia without delay. Hilary did not like Australia and Australia did not like Hilary. What he could do seemed to be one of two things: die or work. Then he remembered that he was not alone in the world. He had an aunt. She was his father's only sister, but his father used to say she brought no glory to the family. Hilary, of course, tried to discover what she had done. It seemed that she had failed to marry a nobleman. Instead, she had chosen a husband who was connected with "trade". Of course as soon 真正的价值并不在人生的舞台上,而在我们扮演的角色中。 161 as she became "Mrs. Parks", her brother considered her dead. Later on, Mr. Parks died and left her a lot of money; but that did not bring her back to life in her brother's opinion. Hilary discovered his aunt's address. Fortunately she remained faithful and honest to him even after she fell ill. So Hilary's star shone again, and soon he moved into her house and lived as comfortably as a sailor who had just reached harbor. He had only about a sixpence in his pocket. One thing was soon clear: his aunt was seriously ill, and nothing could cure her illness. Hilary was very worried. Fate had found a home for him, and was now going to throw him out of it. There was only one thing that could save him: her will. "Will?" she said, "yes, I have made one. That was when I was a girl and had not much money. I left all my money to some religious people." "Didn't you make another will when you were married?" Hilary asked. His aunt shook her head. "No," she said in a low voice, "There was no need. When I finally had a lot of money I found 1 had no relations." On the next day he went to the public library and examined a book of law. It told him what he already believed. When a woman is married, an earlier will loses its value. A new will must be made. If no new will is made, the money goes to the nearest relation. Hilary knew that he was his aunt's only relation. His future was safe. After a few months had passed, Hilary's problems became serious. He badly needed money. He had expensive tastes, and owed a lot of money to shopkeepers. They trusted him because his aunt was rich; but the debt was terrible. Unfortunately his aunt did not want to discuss money matters at all. In the end they had a quarrel about the small amount of ten pounds. Hilary was not very angry. He began to wonder about a new problem. Was it kind to want his aunt to live any longer? Was it not better for her to die now? While he was considering what to do, his aunt told him that she was going to send for her lawyer. So she was going to make a new will, Hilary thought. She might leave all her money to someone else. Soon he reached a clear decision. He must do a great kindness to the poor old woman. One night when the old servant who had been nursing his aunt went off, he doubled the amount of some medicine. The total amount was too great and it could just put her to sleep forever. "Thank you," his aunt took the glass from his hand with a grateful look." I want, more than anything, to sleep, and never to wake up again. Is that what you wish, Hilary? Don't blame me if I have some doubts about what you intended to do. Sick people get these ideas, you know. One thing I ought to explain to you. Mr. Parks never married me. He already had a wife and couldn't marry again. That made your foolish father very angry with me...Well, if I am alive tomorrow I shall make another will in your favor.

Instead, she had chosen a husband who was connected with "trade". ”句意：他的父亲认为她没有给家族带来任何荣耀；她没有嫁给贵族，却嫁给了商人。在 那个时期，商人地位很低，所以对他哥哥而言，是个耻辱。故选 D。 推理判断题。在本段中“Was it kind to want his aunt to live any longer? Was it not better for her to die now? While he was considering what to do, his aunt told him that she was going to send for her lawyer. So she was going to make a new will, Hilary thought. She might leave all her money to someone else. Soon he reached a clear decision. ”句意：让姑妈活久一点？是不是她死了更好吗？ 当他还在考虑要做什么，他的姑妈告诉他，她联系她的律师。所以她要做一个新的遗嘱，希拉里想。她会 将所有的钱都给别人了。他马上做出决定。可以看出他起了歹心，想结束姑妈的生命，故选 A。 主旨大意题。通读全文，文章从第五段开始全部讲的是 Hilary's aunt's will，即姑妈的遗嘱。根据常识 可以知道，遗嘱是跟钱有关，而希拉里想得到这笔遗嘱。Hilary Smith's debts.希拉里的债务有提及；The intended murder 这场预定的谋杀出现在文章后面；Hilary's aunt's marriage.姑妈的婚姻有提及；B、C、 D 文中都有提到，不过都是文章故事发展的情节之一，文章的重点是姑妈的遗嘱，即希拉里姑妈的钱，故选 A。 细节理解题。文中第九段“If no new will is made, the money goes to the nearest relation. Hilary 真正的价值并不在人生的舞台上,而在我们扮演的角色中。 164 knew that he was his aunt's only relation. ”句意：如果没有新的遗嘱，钱将回到最亲的亲戚手上， 希拉里知道他是她姑妈在世上的唯一的亲人。可以得出，希拉里作为她姑妈血缘关系最近的人，假如没有 新的遗嘱，她姑妈的钱会到他手里，故选 B。 推理判断题。故事的高潮一般指矛盾冲突最激烈的地方。A 选项“Hilary escaped from the prison.”希 拉里逃出了监狱，是故事的开端；B 选项“Hilary quarreled with is aunt about ten pounds.”希拉里 因为十英镑和姑妈吵了起来，是故事的小情节之一；D 选项“Hilary's aunt made a will to leave all her money to someone else.”希拉里的姑妈想立一份遗嘱把她所有钱给别人，文章只是在后面她姑妈说她今 晚如果死了的话，就把钱给别人，只是一种假设；而 C 选项“Hilary's aunt drank the medicine her nephew prepared for her.”希拉里的姑妈喝了她外甥为她准备的药，由前面可知，她姑妈的遗嘱是文章的主线， 希拉里想得到它，然后想谋杀姑妈，故事的关注点落在那杯放了很多剂量的药里，而他姑妈喝了她外甥为 她准备的药，将故事推上高潮，故选 C.。 考点：考查记叙类阅读。 A【湖南省株洲市 2015 届高三教学质量统一检测（一）】 Karl Fleming joined the military because he needed a change in his life. He had a successful career with a shipping company but he wanted to do something more. He found that something in the U.S. army. Fleming began his service in 2009 and never looked back. A few years later, Fleming volunteered to go to Afghanistan. There, he worked as a bodyguard for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. He enjoyed it, except for the almost-nightly rocket attacks. Karl was never hit directly by a rocket, but he didn’t need to be to feel its effects. The rockets caused severe shaking, shaking so bad that Fleming was left with many injuries. He was also diagnosed with concussions(脑震荡) and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder(PTSD). Fleming said he was down but not out. Once he returned from Afghanistan, Fleming underwent one test after another. At first, Fleming said he thought he could recover or be able to return to duty and realize his dream of becoming an officer. But then came the news he had never imagined: Fleming would never be an officer because he was too injured to continue. Fleming said he was depressed after learning his military career was over. Add that to the memory loss, extreme anxiety and the many painful medical procedures he was already experiencing. He rarely ventured outside on the weekend. Instead, he preferred to sleep in.

Twentyone years later I am still a brighteyed dreamer and one with quite a different tale to tell. My grandma, an amazing woman, graduated from college at the age of 65. She was the first in our family to reach that goal. But one year after I started college, she developed cancer. I made the choice to withdraw from college to care for her. It meant that school and my personal dream would have to wait. Then I got married with another dream: building my family with a combination of adopted and 真正的价值并不在人生的舞台上,而在我们扮演的角色中。 167 biological children. In 1999, we adopted our first son. To lay eyes on him was fantastic—and very emotional. A year later came our second adopted boy. Then followed son No.3. In 2003, I gave birth to another boy. You can imagine how fully occupied I became, raising four boys under the age of 8! Our home was a complete zoo—a joyous zoo. Not surprising, I never did make it back to college fulltime. But I never gave up on the dream either. I had only one choice: to find a way. That meant taking as few as one class each semester. The hardest part was feeling guilty about the time I spent away from the boys. They often wanted me to stay home with them. There certainly were times I wanted to quit, but I knew I should set an example for them to follow through the rest of their lives. In 2007, I graduated from the University of North Carolina. It took me over 21 years to get my college degree! Everything you want won't arrive in your life in one day. It's a process.

Practice after practice, he eagerly gave everything he had. But being half the size of the other boys, he got absolutely nowhere. At all the games, this hopeful athlete sat on the bench and hardly ever played. This teenager lived alone with his father, and the two of them had a very special relationship. Even though the son was always on the bench, his father was always in the stands cheering. He never missed a game. This young man was still the smallest of the class when he entered high school. But his father continued to encourage him. The young man loved football and was determined to try his best at every practice, and perhaps he’d get to play when he became a senior. All through high school he never missed a practice nor a game but remained a bench-warmer. Besides, his faithful father was always in the stands, always with words of encouragement for him. When the young man went to college, he decided to try out for the football team as a “walk-on”. Everyone was sure he could never make the cut, but he did. The news that he had survived the cut thrilled him so much that he rushed to the nearest phone and called his father. His father shared his excitement and was sent season tickets for all the college games. This persistent young athlete never missed practice during his four years at college, but he never got to play in a game. It was at the end of his senior football season that the coach met him with a telegram. The young man read the telegram and he became totally silent. Swallowing hard, he mumbled to the coach, 真正的价值并不在人生的舞台上,而在我们扮演的角色中。 169 “My father died this morning. Is it all right if I miss practice today?” The coach put his arm gently around his shoulder and said, “Take the rest of the week off, son. And don’t even plan to come back to the game on Saturday.” Saturday arrived, and the game was not going well. In the third quarter, when the team was ten points behind, a silent young man quietly slipped into the empty locker room and put on his football gear. As he ran onto the sidelines(边线), the coach and his players were surprised to see their faithful teammate back so soon. “Coach, please let me play. I’ve just got to play today,” said the young man. The coach pretended not to hear him. There was no way he wanted his worst player in this close playoff game. But the young man insisted, and finally feeling sorry for the kid, the coach gave in. “All right,” he said. “You can go in." Before long, the coach, the players and everyone in the stands could not believe their eyes. This little unknown, who had never played before was doing everything right. The opposing team could not stop him. He ran, he passed, blocked, and tackled like a star. His team began to succeed. The score was soon tied. In the closing seconds of the game, this kid got a pass and ran all the way for the winning touchdown. Finally, after the stands had emptied, the coach noticed that this young man was sitting quietly in the corner all alone. The coach came to him and said, “Kid, you were fantastic! Tell me what got into you? How did you do it?” He looked at the coach, with tears in his eyes, and said, “Well, you knew my dad died, but did you know that my dad was blind?” The young man swallowed hard and forced a smile, “Dad came to all my games, but today was the first time he could see me play, and I wanted to show him I could make it!” 55. What’s the writer’s attitude toward the young boy in the passage? A. Appreciative. B. Critical. C. Grateful. D. Negative. 56. What does the underlined sentence “he got absolutely nowhere” mean? A. He could never make his father see his performance clearly. B. There was no chance of his becoming a top athlete in this sport. 真正的价值并不在人生的舞台上,而在我们扮演的角色中。 170 C. There was no coach to train him well enough to be a good player. D. He had no idea at all what kind of person he wanted to be in future. 57. Who felt very pleased when the young man was chosen to be a member of his college team? A. His teachers and classmates. B. His coach and teammates. C. His parents and relatives. D. He himself and his father. 58. From the passage, we can infer that _________. A. the young man’s coach played an important role in his growth B. the young man’s father had a great positive influence on him C. not until his father passed away did the young man train hard D. the young man’s road to success in football was always smooth 59.

He wanted to defeat the opposing team in this significant game. D. He planned to make money to cure his father of his blindness. 60. What’s the best title of the passage? A.

D 细节理解题。根据第五中“His father shared his excitement and was sent season tickets for all the college games”可以看出，只有这个年轻人和他父亲感到高兴。故 D 项正确。 真正的价值并不在人生的舞台上,而在我们扮演的角色中。 171 58. B 推理判断题。根据文章内容可知，尽管这个年轻人的足球生涯困难重重，但是他在父亲对他一如既 往的支持和鼓励下追逐梦想，永不放弃，并最终取得了成功，也就是说他的父亲对他有积极的影响。故 B 项正确。 59. A 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Dad came to all my games, but today was the first time he could see me play, and I wanted to show him I could make it!”可以看出，年轻人之所以返回学校 上场比赛是因为他想让死去的父亲为他的表现感到自豪。故选 A 项。 60. B 写作意图题。文章讲述了一位意志坚定的年轻人在父亲的支持和鼓励下追逐梦想、永不放弃直至最 后取得成功的故事。故答案为 B 项。 考点：人物故事类阅读 3 Magic is the performance of tricks. It has been a part of almost every culture in the world. Magic shows might include a disappearing act, card tricks, or pulling a rabbit out of a hat. But what could that have to do with health? Kevin Spencer, an American magician goes beyond just entertaining crowds. He also makes magic to improve the lives of people with disabilities. What made him change the focus of his work was an accident. It took him almost a year to regain the skills he’d lost as a result of the accident and this made him think about using magic tricks as a tool for healing. So Spencer started conducting workshops all over the world. He teaches magic tricks to children and adults with disabilities. Mr. Spencer says magic therapy(疗法) may seem non-traditional. But many skills needed to perform a good magic trick are used in traditional forms of therapy — physical movement, thinking, understanding and social skills are all there. And that social connection with other people can also help people feel better about themselves and increase their confidence. Liam Shannon is an example. Liam has a brain disorder that can make learning and connecting with people difficult. People with severe brain disorder may also have trouble understanding complex emotions. The 10-year-old boy said after he learned a few simple tricks, he felt many different emotions. ＂It made me feel happy and proud. It was great!＂ Liam said. Kevin Spencer says seeing kids like Liam come alive is better than all the applause in the world. ＂We can be on a stage and get the applause of thousands of people, but that is nothing 真正的价值并不在人生的舞台上,而在我们扮演的角色中。 172 compared to the smile that comes across a kid’s face and when they say ‘Look! I did it!’ and it’s like, ‘yeah, you did!’＂.

Pay attention. Who knows where it will go or how it will end? I was a transplanted Southerner trying to take root in California, married only six months when my new husband got his first job teaching and coaching at Monterey High. It would take almost 10 years for him to move from basic math courses and lower-division sports to teaching physics and coaching varsity basketball. But he was never in a hurry, never in a rush to do anything, really, but his best. All that mattered, he said, was not the status of a job, but how well and how diligently he performed it. While he was busy doing his “best,” I was busy having babies (three in five years) and going to basketball games. That’s where I met David, at the games. I was 21. He was 16. It’s not like you could miss him, really. David was a special education student at Monterey High, a big lumbering(步态笨拙的) bear(急 性子) who loved basketball with all his being, but lacked the coordination(协调) to play. Instead, starting in high school and continuing some 40 years, he showed up at every game as “team manager,” taking care of the balls and towels, slapping players on the backs if they did well, and giving grief, like it or not, if they missed shots or made the team look bad. He took special umbrage at lazy defense. “You’ve got to box out! Even I can do that! Want me to teach you?” He said. They would pretend to ignore him, but win or lose, they’d at least try a little harder to box out. More than anything — maybe even more than basketball — David loved hugs. I’m not sure David ever knew my name. He called me “Mrs. Coach.” At every game, home or away, he’d spot me in the stands and come clomping up(聚拢) the bleachers, parting the crowd like the Red Sea to get a hug. When David hugged you, you knew you’d been hugged. Later, in the years the coach was battling cancer, David never said much, just did his job as always, diligently and well. He hated sweeping the gym floor. Sweeping was a janitor’s job, not the team manager’s, he said. But if he caught the coach sweeping, as he sometimes did, he’d grab the broom and finish the job without a word. The morning of the coach’s memorial service, someone took photos of preparations in the 真正的价值并不在人生的舞台上,而在我们扮演的角色中。 174 gym. Bleachers(露天看台) were pulled out, chairs were set up to seat the crowd. A thousand paper cranes（鹤） folded by his students flew in a “V” from the goal. And there was David, sweeping the floor. That was long ago. I had not seen David in years. I heard he’d retired as team manager. I had remarried, moved away, was back in town for a visit, when I ran into him at Toasties, my favorite breakfast place. He was sitting at the counter, older, grayer, big as ever, with his sweet wife, Stephanie. “David,” I said, tapping his shoulder, “remember me?” His eyes welled up as he rose from the counter and slowly engulfed(包围) me in a big bear hug. “Mrs. Coach,” he said, lifting me off my feet, “Mrs. Coach.” When David hugs you, you still know you’ve been hugged. 55.

B 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“a big lumbering(步态笨拙的) bear(急性子) who loved basketball with all his being, but lacked the coordination(协调) to play”可知，David 动作笨拙(clumzy)， 缺乏协调性，所以谈不上运动型的(athletic)；根据第七段内容可知，David 一直很勤奋(diligent)，此外， 尽管 David 讨厌扫地，但一发现患有癌症的教练扫地，便一把夺过扫帚，可见其是有爱心的(loving)。故 选 B 项。 60.

Influenced by his father, he enjoyed camping, fishing and hunting at his early age. In 1917, after graduation from high school, Hemingway began his writing career with The Kansas City Star. And then, after being rejected for army service in World War I because of poor vision, he volunteered to serve as a driver for an American ambulance unit in France. In 1918, he transferred to duty on the Italian front, where he was seriously wounded in an explosion. After his recovery, he returned home. He worked for The Toronto star, covered the Greco-Turkish war as a foreign reporter, and then returned to Paris, which was a city full of intellectual life, creativity, and genius after the war. In Paris, where he accomplished a revolution in literary style and language, his first book, Three Stories and Ten Poems, appeared in 1923, and was followed by a short story collection In Our Time, which marked his entry to American literature in 1925. Hemingway’s status as a remarkable writer of his time was confirmed with t he publication of A Farewell to Arms in 1929. The novel represented a farewell both for war and for love. In 1937, he became a foreign reporter covering the Spanish Civil war. Three years later, he published For Whom the Bell Tolls. Set in Spain during the Civil war, the novel restated his view of love found and lost and described the tough spirit of the common people. In 1912, the same judgment was reflected in his portrait of fisherman, Santiago, with an indomitable spirit in defeat, in The Old Man and the Sea, which was awarded the Pulitzer Prize in 1953. Hemingway won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1954. With one of the most important influences on the development of the American short story and novel, Hemingway has seized the imagination of the American public like no other twentieth-century author. He died by suicide, in Ketchum, Idaho, in 1961. 1. Hemingway was turned down for army service in World war I because ______ . A. he was unlearned B. he was in poor condition C. he was inexperienced D. he had bad eyesight 2. The publication of _______ proved Hemingway one of the greatest literary lights of the 20th century.

Along with more than 300 other seniors, I marched into the stadium on the afternoon of May 10. The audience burst into deafening cheers. The huge stadium shook with all the whistling and clapping. It was as if a Hollywood superstar had walked on stage. And indeed, every single senior that day was a star of the moment. Each deserved it. The seniors had been preparing for four years for this once-in-a-lifetime moment—the commencement (graduation ceremony). Seated, I waited anxiously for the opening address. As a foreign exchange student, I was not able to receive a diploma. However, I still had the wonderful feeling of being part of things. Like the other graduates, I was dressed in marron cap and gown. Our principal, Mr. Glover, delivered a short, warm greeting. The US national anthem followed and then, hands on chests, a solemn Pledge of Allegiance(美国的爱国誓言). Students who had excelled academically gave farewell speeches. The tears in some eyes convinced me that many had deep feelings about the occasion. It was as the class motto says, “Life brings us tears, smiles and memories. The tears dry; the smiles fade; but the memories last forever.” Then came the core (the most important part) of the commencement. Hundreds of names were announced. Each graduate walked across the stage to receive his or her diploma from the principal. From the different cheers each graduate got, we had the funny sense that it was a kind of competition of who could cheer the loudest. To be honest, the presentation of diplomas got boring. A girl sitting next to me even started yawning. But it wasn’t boring for those receiving the diploma: they would treasure the moment the principal placed the sacred brown document in their hands for the rest of their lives. A new page in the book of that person’s life had turned. They were glimpsing their futures: futures of challenge, hardship, perhaps loneliness to o, which would take all of their courage. 1.

By the time I got outside, he’d broken it. “Can I take this to school today?” he asked. With a wave of my hand, I sent him off. I turned my back so he wouldn’t see the tears gathering in my eyes. The washing machine had leaked on my brand-new linoleum. If only my husband had just taken the time to fix it the night before when I asked him instead of playing checkers with Jonathan. It was days like this that made me want to quit. I just wanted to drive up to the mountains, hide in a cave, and never come out. Somehow I spent most of the day washing and drying clothes and thinking how love had disappeared from my life. As I finished hanging up the last of my husband’s shirts, I looked at the clock. 2:30. I was late. Jonathan’s class let out at 2:15 and I hurriedly drove to the school. I was out of breath by the time I knocked on the teacher’s door and peered through the glass. She rustled through the door and took me aside. “I want to talk to you about Jonathan,” she said. I prepared myself for the worst. Nothing would have surprised me. “Did you know Jonathan brought flowers to school today?” she asked. I nodded, thinking about my favorite bush and trying to hide the hurt in my eyes. “Let me tell you about yesterday,” the teacher insisted. “See that little girl?” I watched the bright-eyed child laugh and point to a colorful picture taped to the wall. I nodded. “Well, yesterday she was almost hysterical. Her mother and father are going through a nasty divorce. She told me she didn’t want to live, she wished she could die. I watched that little girl bury her face in her hands and say loud enough for the class to hear, ‘Nobody loves me.’ 真正的价值并不在人生的舞台上,而在我们扮演的角色中。 181 I did all I could to comfort her, but it only seemed to make matters worse.” “I thought you wanted to talk to me about Jonathan,” I said. “I do,” she said, touching the sleeve of my blouse. “Today your son walked straight over to that child. I watched him hand her some pretty pink flowers and whisper, ‘I love you.’“ I felt my heart swell with pride for what my son had done. I smiled at the teacher. “Thank you,” I said, reaching for Jonathan’s hand, “you’ve made my day.” Later that evening, I began pulling weeds from around my azalea bush. As my mind wandered back to the love Jonathan showed the little girl, a biblical verse came to me: “...these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.” While my son had put love into practice, I had only felt anger. I heard the familiar squeak of my husband’s brakes as he pulled into the drive. I snapped a small limb bristling with hot pink azaleas off the bush. I felt the seed of love that God planted in my family beginning to bloom once again in me. My husband’s eyes widened in surprise as I handed him the flowers. “I love you,” I said. 25.Why did the woman cry when seeing her son had broken the azalea bush? A. Because she could not tolerate the harm to it. B. Because she wanted to hand it to her husband. C. Because her son did not ask her for permission. D. Because it made her bad mood even worse. 26.The writer wanted to hide in the mountain cave probably for the reason of . A. boring daily routine with a feeling of lack of love B. her husband’s failing to fix the machine in time C. feeling fed up with her endless daily housework D. her hoping to seek happiness in a brand new place 27.We can infer from the passage that the writer expressed love to her husband in that . A. she felt guilty that she misunderstood her husband and wanted to apologize B. she was inspired by her son that love was supposed to be felt and practiced C. she felt it necessary to have a complete family for the happiness of herself D. she wanted to prove her love and expected the same words from her husband 真正的价值并不在人生的舞台上,而在我们扮演的角色中。 182 26.A 推理题：从第四段的句子：Somehow I spent most of the day washing and drying clothes and thinking how love had disappeared from my life. 可知作者想躲到山洞里，因为每天的日常琐事和缺乏爱，选 A。 27.B 推理题：从最后一段的句子：I felt the seed of love that God planted in my family beginning to bloom once again in me.

The pair traded up their semi-detached home in South Norwood, London, and bought a £1.5million house in Surrey. Li, who is now worth $1.2billion (£700million) according to Forbes, quickly settled into a life which included sipping a £900 bottle of wine on a luxurious yacht. However, Mr Hawken says he felt more comfortable getting lunch in his local Wetherspoon’s. Despite his sudden wealth he continued to buy books from charity shops, and shunned dear clothes. In an interview with The Times, he said: ‘I think it made me uncomfortable because I’m not in the habit, I don’t like spending lots of money — I’ve been brought up that way. ‘Until recently I was never a wealthy person. I’ve been moderately comfortable because I have been careful with my money.’ Now the couple have decided to part, Mr Hawken will walk away with just £1million, but says it will be enough for him. He added: ‘I have got a settlement which is not great, but it’s enough for me because I don’t have an extravagant lifestyle. I won’t have to work if I’m careful.’ 真正的价值并不在人生的舞台上,而在我们扮演的角色中。 183 On a recent trip to China, Mr Hawken said his wife took him on a yacht and treated him to a £900 bottle of wine, but he prefers his local Wetherspoon pub. ‘I’m getting a little pay when you consider her potential wealth, but I don’t really want to fight it.’ Mr Hawken met Li on a blind date while he was still a teacher and she was studying English. The couple married, but as Li’s business took off the couple spent more and more time apart. Mr Hawken says the couple have spent most of the relationship apart. Far from driving them apart, Mr Hawken believes the distance kept them together, and says they would have divorced a long time ago if they were under the same roof. Mr Hawken says his only regret is not getting a divorce sooner, but he didn’t push for it over fears it would affect the couple’s teenage son William, now 17. Mr Hawken no longer teaches full-time, but instead gives free tuition to under-privileged children. 46.Tony Hawken is divorcing his wife Xiu Li because________. A.he doesn’t affect his son.

When he was a senior，he was asked to write a paper about what he wanted to be and do when he grew up.” That night he wrote a seven-page paper describing his goal of someday owning a horse ranch. He wrote about his dream in great detail and he even drew a diagram of a 200-acre ranch， showing the location of all the buildings，the stables and the track. “The next day he handed it in to his teacher. Two days later he received his paper back. On the front page was a large red F with a note that read, ‘See me after class.’” 真正的价值并不在人生的舞台上,而在我们扮演的角色中。 185 “The boy went to see the teacher after class and asked, ‘Why did I receive an F？’” “The teacher said, ‘This is an unrealistic dream for a young boy like you. You have no money. You come from an itinerant family. You have no resources. Owning a horse ranch requires a lot of money. You have to buy the land. You have to pay for the original breeding stock and later you’ll have to pay large stud fees. There’s no way you could ever do it.’ Then the teacher added， ‘If you will rewrite this paper with a more realistic goal, I will reconsider your grade.’” “The boy went home and asked his father what he should do. His father said, ‘Look, son， you have to make up your own mind on this. However, I think it is a very important decision for you.’” “Finally，after sitting with it for a week, the boy turned in the same paper, making no changes at all. He stated, ‘You can keep the F and I’ll keep my dream.‘” John continued, “I tell you this story because you are sitting in the middle of my 200-acre horse ranch. I still have that school paper framed over the fireplace.” He added, “If I had changed my paper at that time, maybe we would not have the chance to be here talking about the dreams .” 【文章大意】文章介绍一个男孩写下自己的梦想是拥有一个马场做为作文，但是老师给了他一个“F”，是 因为老师认为这对一个男孩来说是不可能实现的愿望。并且说如果男孩能重新写这篇文章就可以给他重新 打分，但是男孩坚持了自己的梦想，并且实现了它。 41.

And, surprisingly, he says it wasn’t that hard. The founder of an environmentally friendly marketing company, Greenfield started his project 真正的价值并不在人生的舞台上,而在我们扮演的角色中。 189 with a bike ride across America. Greenfield set a few rules for himself on his ride, meant to promote sustainability and eco-friendly living: He could only harvest water from natural sources like rivers and rain, or from wasted sources like leaky faucets. He also had to keep track of exactly how much he used, hoping to show just how little he needed to get by. Over his 100-day bike trip, Greenfield was able to use less than two gallons of water a day, or eight Nalgene bottles. After making it through the 100-day bike ride without a shower, Greenfield decided to try to go six months. Once that passed, he figured he might as well go a full year. All he used was organic soap, toothpaste, and essential oils.“Nobody thought that I smelled at all,” he wrote on his blog. “And I surprised myself at how clean I was, just like everyone else.” Greenfield says he had no lack of friends, and sometimes they’d even join him. He even had a few romances, which he says were the times he felt the most challenged. “The hardest part were the times when a beautiful girl wanted me to get in the shower with her and I had to say no,” he told BuzzFeed. “A few times I almost got in and then remembered I was aiming for a year without showers.” He said it was also difficult when the temperature dropped in San Diego, and he didn’t feel like having to go to the Pacific Ocean for a dip. But he still did it. “I realized that water doesn’t have to come from a shower head to get me clean,” he wrote. In Brooklyn, for example, he found a bath in a leaky fire hydrant. For people who don’t live near bodies of water but want to be more eco-friendly, Greenfield recommends trying to be conscious of water usage, taking shorter or fewer showers, and turning off your faucet. The world traveler told BuzzFeed his biggest takeaway from the project has been abolishing stereotypes. “A short time ago I would have thought it crazy to forgo conventional showers,” he said. “Turns out it’s not really a big deal at all. We have a tendency to make instant character judgments based on clothing, style, race, sexual preference, political affiliation, and even bathing habits, and most of the time we’re just absolutely wrong.” 真正的价值并不在人生的舞台上,而在我们扮演的角色中。 190 So is he done showering forever? He’s not sure, but it sounds like he’s not ready to throw in the towel (pun intended) just yet. “Maybe I never will again or maybe I’ll shower tomorrow,” he said. “All I know is that I feel really darn good right now and I’m having a positive impact on our society.”495 【文章大意】 罗布·格林菲尔德（Rob Greenfield）已经有一年没洗过澡了。不过我们这里所谓的澡是指人工的澡， 即用自来水洗的澡。在过去的一年里，罗布骑车穿越美国，并尝试用各种天然水源来洗澡，包括湖泊，河 流，雨水和瀑布。而在他不方便用天然水源洗澡的时候，他会用桶接水龙头没关紧滴下的水或用消防水龙 头代替。据统计，平均每个美国人一天会使用 100 加仑的水，但在过去的一年里，罗布每天只使用了 2 加 仑，大概等于 8 瓶的耐洁水瓶的水量。 41.From the paragraphs， we can infer that__________. A. Greenfield had lack of friends because he didn’t showered. B. Rob Greenfield hasn’t bathed in the past year. C. Greenfield was able to use less than two gallons of water a day. D. Greenfield has showered using water from natural sources in the past year. D 考查推理判断。根据文章第三段中的 He could only harvest water from natural sources like rivers and rain, or from wasted sources like leaky faucets.和后文的内容可知，他不是不洗澡而是不用自 来水（即人工水）洗澡，他可以用河水、雨水洗澡。故选 D。C 选项是文章的叙述内容，不是推理的内容。 42. Greenfield didn’t get in the shower with a beautiful girl because________. A. he didn’t like girls. B. there is no enough water to use. C.he wanted to save some water. D.he meant what he said. D 考查推理判断。根据文章第八段中的“A few times I almost got in and then remembered I was aiming for a year without showers.”可知，他是一个守信用的人，说到做到。故选 D。 43. What does the underlined word “faucet.”mean？ A．light B．tap C．gas 真正的价值并不在人生的舞台上,而在我们扮演的角色中。 191 D．water B 考查猜测词义。根据文章内容可知，此处指与水相关的东西，应该是关掉水龙头。故选 B。 44.According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT true? A. Greenfield is the founder of an environmentally friendly marketing company. B. Greenfield has a positive impact on the society. C. Greenfield made a full year plan of no showering at the beginning. D. Over his 100-day bike trip, Greenfield was able to use less than eight Nalgene bottles of water a day. C 考查细节理解。根据文章第五段中的 After making it through the 100-day bike ride without a shower, Greenfield decided to try to go six months. Once that passed, he figured he might as well go a full year.可知，起初是 100 天然后是 6 个月接下来是 1 年。故这个选项错误。 45.The author writes this story to tell us that_________. A. Greenfield is a determined man. B.we should save water as much as possible. C.we should mean what we said. D. Greenfield hasn’t showered for a full year. B 考查作者的写作意图。作者写这篇故事的目的是：通过这个故事倡导人们要节约用水。故选Ｂ。 12 In the middle of a hot July afternoon, when the stifling air came with rippling waves of heat, I became a thief of some sort—a thief of music. For the first time, I had created an original piano arrangement of one of my favorite songs. Not once had I looked for the help of premade sheet music or video tutorials on YouTube. Using only my ears and iPod, I had transformed a mix of intermingling sounds and intricate melodies into the tones of a single instrument; I had created complex harmonies and voices into something I could perform with only two hands. No help, no guide: I had done it on my own. I’ve been a pianist since before my hands were big enough to reach an octave: with a musician and composer for a father, I was all but born on the piano bench. For many years, my musical identity was defined by the notes that others had written in centuries past. This was why, when I added the finishing touches to my piano version of a modern rock song, 真正的价值并不在人生的舞台上,而在我们扮演的角色中。 192 I was proud of myself : this arrangement was mine. What I’d done seemed magical: an ability to take what had already existed—to “steal” a song from my favorite band—and to change it into something different and all my own. I was a thief, but I was also an artist. In music, as in other aspects of life, I believe that true originality rarely exists. Almost everything has, in one form or another, been done before. The most romantic novel may very well be a slightly changed version of a play by Shakespeare, which is likely to be borrowed from the works of Ancient Greece: same themes, different characters, different circumstances. But, the novel is no less deserving of praise just because its uniqueness is compromised. Adaptation is not a symbol for failure. The gift of creativity is the ability to do what I did on the piano: to find something beautiful, to analyze and twist it and lose yourself in the mystery of its composition, and then to make it new. Such an act is not copying; it is finding inspiration and having the strength and the innovation to use it as fuel for your own masterpiece. The world is nothing more than collections of preexisting parts—scattered and often lost in the chaos of everyday life. I believe it is my job, as an artist, to rearrange this world into what I imagine it to be. I refuse to live as if I were trapped within the walls of a museum: looking but never touching, afraid to ruin the so-called perfection of the artifacts inside. Therefore, I will embrace my ability to be a thief, because if I don’t steal what the world has to offer, I’ll never have the tools to share with others a creation of my own. My life is my own arrangement, and because of that, anything is possible. 56.Which of the following can be the best title ? A. The passion to create music B. Changes from a thief to an artist C.A music thief D. My piano arrangement 57.According to the passage , which statement is true ? A. Actually ,there was originality only in music B. The author created the original piano arrangement all by himself . C. He was born on the piano bench . 真正的价值并不在人生的舞台上,而在我们扮演的角色中。 193 D .The author was once a thief who stole music from his favorite band. 58.Which word has the closest meaning with the underlined word “embrace”? A. accept B. describe C. adopt D. quit 59.The reason why the author felt proud of himself was that ___. A. he became a real artist without others’ help. B. he could play the piano before he was shorter than the piano bench. C .he has a father who was a musician and composer. D. he changed one of his favorite songs into a piano arrangement on his own.. 60. From the passage we can learn that the writer______ A. is more of a follower than a leader. B. likes to recreate songs whenever it is possible . C. would like to lead his life the way he likes D. is a stubborn person . 56.C 主旨大意题。本篇文章讲述了作者把一首现代摇滚乐改编成了一支钢琴曲后的感想，他在第一段把自 己称为“偷音乐的人”I became a thief of some sort—a thief of music，然后在下文中又多次把自己 的创作改编说成是“steal”， 文中还出现了“I was a thief”，“ my ability to be a thief”等，由 此判断 C 选项能体现文章中心，而且生动形象，能吸引读者的注意，答案选 C。 57.B 细节理解题。根据文中第二段 I had created complex harmonies and voices into something I could perform with only two hands. No help, no guide: I had done it on my own. ，可知作者在没有任何 帮助，没有任何指导的情况下，凭借一己之力独立完成了改编音乐这一挑战，答案选 B。 58.A 词义猜测题。A 接受；B 描述；C 采纳，收养；D 放弃。由文章内容可知作者对于自己改编音乐这件事 非常兴奋，对自己的这种创造力感到骄傲自豪，由此判断他对自己有这种“偷”的能力是感到满意的，是 欣然接受的，故答案选 A。 59.D 细节理解题。从文章第四段 I was proud of myself : this arrangement was mine.可知作者感到骄 傲的事情是自己独立创作改编了这首音乐，故答案选 D。 60.C 推理判断题。在文中作者讲述了自己对一首音乐改编后的激动兴奋，他认为人们不能受“原创”的束 真正的价值并不在人生的舞台上,而在我们扮演的角色中。 194 缚，要去利用已有的东西去寻找灵感，将世界创作成自己喜欢的样子，在文章最后作者提出 My life is my own arrangement, and because of that, anything is possible.“我的人生就是我的改编曲，因此，一 切皆有可能”，由此判断作者是一位有创造力，不固步自封的人，喜欢过自己喜欢的生活，故答案选 C。 考点：考查故事类短文阅读。 13 Today we remember a man who was considered one of the best teachers in the United States. Jaime Alfonso Escalante was born in nineteen thirty in La Paz, Bolivia. Both his parents were teachers. He taught math and science in his home country for twelve years. In the nineteen sixties, Jaime Escalante and his wife Fabiola came to the United States. During the next several years, he learned to speak English and repeated his college education and teacher training. In nineteen seventy-four, Mr. Escalante was hired at Garfield High School to teach mathematics. The school was in a poor area of Los Angeles, California. Many of the students had serious problems with illegal drugs, gangs and violence. The school was in danger of losing its officialapproval to operate. Mr. Escalante's students were mostly Mexican-Americans from a Spanish-speaking area of the city. Many were the worst students at the school and thought to be "unteachable." But Mr. Escalante pushed the group to work hard. He told them basic math was too easy and that they had the ability to do harder work. He told his students that he believed in them, but they must have the desire to be successful. Jaime Escalante started an advanced math program with a small group of students. Advanced Placement is a program of college-level classes and tests.? In nineteen eighty-two, eighteen of his students took the Advanced Placement test in calculus. They all passed. Officials at the testing company suspected the students of cheating. Mr. Escalante protested. He said the students were being rejected because they were Hispanic and from a poor school. He urged his students to take the test again. Twelve of the students repeated the test. And again, all of them passed. Five earned top scores. Mr. Escalante's students went on to become engineers, scientists and university professors. The advanced math program at Garfield became extremely successful over the next several years. 真正的价值并不在人生的舞台上,而在我们扮演的角色中。 195 Jaime Escalante received many teaching awards including the Presidential Medal of Excellence in Education.

Our daughter, who had just completed her first brain surgery to remove a tumor and was going through radiation treatment, was now officially given a two percent chance of survival as this type of cancer had no cure. My wife and I decided to take our daughter to lunch before continuing our afternoon conversation. We went to a local restaurant where we sat in silence waiting for the waitress. I noticed a very elderly couple sitting a few booths away, who were also in silence and did not speak a word. I couldn’t help but wonder what challenges they had faced in their life and if they ever faced such terrible news about a child of theirs. We eventually ordered our lunch and still sitting in silence we ate what we could. At some point I became intrigued (好奇的) by the old couple. I thought to myself that they hadn’t yet spoken to each other and I wondered if it was the peace they were enjoying or the food or maybe both. However, at some point I lost interest and put my focus back on my lunch. Molly was still talking away and enjoying her meal. Her mom and I both listened and tried to be happy in her presence but it wasn’t going very well. All of a sudden I saw a hand come out of nowhere. It was huge and I could tell that it had been afflicted with arthritis (关节 炎). I couldn’t take my eyes off that hand. It landed on my daughter’s tiny six-year-old hand and as it did I looked up; it was the old woman who had been sitting with the old man in silence eating their lunch. I looked into her eyes and she spoke, but not to me. She looked at my daughter and simply whispered, “If I could do more for you I would…” and then she smiled and moved away to join 真正的价值并不在人生的舞台上,而在我们扮演的角色中。 197 her husband, who had moved towards the door. “Look, a whole dollar,” Molly spoke with excitement as she discovered a crumpled one dollar bill left behind by the old lady. I looked up to thank her, but she was gone. I sat stunned, not sure what had just happened and then I looked over at my wife. In almost unison, we broke out into a smile. The sadness of the day had been wiped out by the crippled hand and generous touch of the old lady. The dollar, although exciting to Molly, was not what made us smile; it was the offer from the old lady, who felt our suffering. The crippled hand symbolized a healing touch and made us realize that we did not have to fight this battle alone. 【文章改编自 http://www.motivational-inspirational-corner.com/stories.html?id=42】 【文章大意】本文是一篇故事。故事讲述了一对夫妇的女儿得了不治之症，他们很难过。一次在饭店中， 遇到了一对老夫妇，其中的老太太把 1 美元放在了女儿的手中，这令女儿很高兴，也使我们感到温暖。 41.

He was out of the shipping lanes and floating in a life raft, alone. His supplies were few. His chances were small. Yet when three fishermen found him seventy-six days later, he was alive. His account of how he survived is fascinating. But the thing that caught my eye was how he 真正的价值并不在人生的舞台上,而在我们扮演的角色中。 199 managed to keep himself going when all hope seemed lost. Giving up would have seemed the only wise option. When people survive these kinds of circumstances, they do something with their minds that gives them the courage to keep going. Many people in similarly desperate circumstances give in or go mad. “I tell myself I can handle it," wrote Callahan. "Compared to what others have been through, I'm fortunate. I tell myself these things over and over, building up fortitude(坚强意志)….” It struck me as something important. And I've told myself the same thing when my own goals seemed far off or when my problems seemed too overwhelming. And every time I've said it, I have always come back to my senses. The truth is, our circumstances are only bad compared to something better. But others have been through much worse. So here, coming to us from the extreme edge of survival, are words that can give us strength. Whatever you're going through, tell yourself you can handle it. Tell this to yourself over and over, and it will help you get through the rough spots with a little more fortitude. 【文章大意】本文是一篇人物故事。文章讲述了 Steven Callahan1982 年穿越大西洋时，帆船失事后 76 天 后仍然存活下来。作者感兴趣的是：是什么使他存活下来，是在困境中永不放弃的精神。 ( ) 52.
