【主旨大意】作者初為人師時,在課堂上下意識表揚了一名學生,致使那位原來有點“自閉”的學生變得陽光、自信。作者從中領悟到善待學生的重要性。
1.【答案】D
【解析】根據設空處后“I gave an honest account of the student's work(我對學生的表現給予中肯的評價)”可知,“我”是一名老師。故選D項。
2.【答案】C
【解析】設空處前的“He couldn't read his own handwriting.(他認不出自己寫的字)”和設空處后的“he was a bright student(他是一個聰明的學生)”表明,前后文構成轉折關系。故選B項。
3.【答案】B
【解析】根據第一段第三句“In Simon's case, the grades were awfully low.(西蒙的學習成績分數極其低)”及第六句“He discussed adult subjects with nearly adult comprehension.(他用接近成人的理解力來討論成人的話題)”可知,他的成績不能體現他的能力(ability)。故選B項。
4.【答案】C
【解析】根據上文作者描寫自己的緊張和下文的“surprising me beyond speech”可知,作者對西蒙的媽媽在自己的雙頰親吻完全沒有(心理)準備。desperate意為“絕望的;非常需要的”;responsible意為“有責任的;負責的”;unprepared意為“無準備的”;unsuitable意為“不合適的”。故選C項。
5.【答案】A
【解析】根據下文西蒙的變化可知,此處句意為:因為我,西蒙已變成一個與從前完全不同的人。because of意為“因為”;in spite of意為“盡管”;apart from意為“除……外”;as for意為“至于”。故選A項。
6.【答案】A
【解析】由語境可知,因為是“我”使他產生了巨大的變化,所以他很喜愛“我”。envy意為“嫉妒”;please意為“(使)高興”;criticize意為“批評”,均不符合句意。故選A項loved。
7.【答案】C
【解析】由語境可知,西蒙的媽媽向“我”講述的是最近發生在孩子身上的事。gradually意為“逐漸地”;constantly意為“不斷地”;recently意為“最近”,常與完成時態連用;obviously意為“明顯地”。故選C項。
8.【答案】A
【解析】句意為:她想告訴我,她有多么感謝我培養了她兒子的自尊心。self-respect意為“自尊”;self-doubt意為“自我懷疑”;self-pity意為“自我同情”;self-defense意為“自我防衛”。只有A項符合語境。
9.【答案】C
【解析】句意為:我吃驚地坐了大約半個小時,一直在想剛才發生了什么。imagine意為“想象”;observe意為“觀察”;wonder意為“納悶;不知道”;regret意為“后悔”。由前文的stunned和后句的問題可知應選C項。
10.【答案】B
【解析】句意為:我是如何使這孩子發生如此大的變化,而甚至連我自己都不知道怎么做到的? also意為“也”;even意為“甚至”;always意為“總是”;still意為“仍然”。故選B項。
11.【答案】B
【解析】前一句提到“我”不知道自己是怎樣使西蒙改變的,而下文給出了西蒙改變的原因,可推知此處指“我”終于記起了……。故選B項。
12.【答案】D
【解析】句意為:……幾個月前,當一些學生當著全班同學的面作報告時……。根據下文中作者讓珍妮提高聲音可知,此處應為give reports,意為“作報告”,為固定搭配。故選D項。
13.【答案】A
【解析】由下文to encourage her to raise her voice可推知,珍妮說話聲音小。quietly意為“輕聲地;安靜地”;repeatedly意為“重復地”;quickly意為“快速地”;firmly意為“堅定地”。故選A項。
14.【答案】C
【解析】lucky意為“幸運的”;lonely意為“孤獨的”;only意為“唯一的”;likely意為“可能的”。作者鼓勵珍妮:西蒙是這方面的專家,因此他是唯一一個你需要說服的人……。故選C項。
15.【答案】D
【解析】由“…he can't hear you…”及后文中的“the last kid in the last row”和“the last seat”可知,西蒙當時坐在教室后面。in the back of… 是固定搭配,意為“在……后部”。故選D項。
16.【答案】B
【解析】老師的話使西蒙發生了巨大變化,這些變化都是好的、積極的。睡覺(slept)、喊叫(shouted)、爭吵(quarreled)均不符合語境,故選B項smiled。
17.【答案】D
【解析】根據語境可知,作者對西蒙的表揚乃無意而為,故句意為:這一切都因為他碰巧是坐在最后一排的最后一個學生。intend to意為“計劃,打算”;pretend to意為“假裝”;refuse to意為“拒絕”;happen to意為“碰巧”。故選D項。
18.【答案】B
【解析】本句中的the boy指的是西蒙。老師的一句話使他變得更自尊、開朗,所以坐在最后座的他是最需要被表揚的孩子。change意為“改變”;praise意為“表揚”;thank意為“感謝”;visit意為“拜訪”。故選B項。
19.【答案】C
【解析】從下文中“I'm thankful”及文章最后一句可推知,這個經驗對“我”來說是很有價值的。difficult意為“困難的”;painful意為“痛苦的”;valuable意為“有價值的”;enjoyable意為“愉快的”。故選C項。
20.【答案】A
【解析】根據第一段第二句“I was a new…(我是一名新老師)”可知,“我”很感激這個寶貴的經驗到來得很早。early意為“在初期;提早”;slowly意為“緩慢地”;frequently意為“頻繁地”;occasionally意為“偶爾”。故選A項。

In 1929, she got married to Diego Rivera, another famous Mexican artist.Rivera's strong influences on Kahlo's style can be seen in her early works, but her later works from the 1940s, known today as her best works, show less influence from her husband.

(2024沈陽東北育才學校高三上學期二模, A)
I went to the Tsavo National Park in northern Kenya for a film.We set off early for a distant water hole.A huge elephant covered with dry mud, drank calmly and deeply.He might have traveled 50 km to reach the water.He wasn't going to hurry now.He'd drink a while and rest in the shade, and then drink again or so we thought.What actually happened was that he drank deeply and stepped away.Then he suddenly fell down.Within minutes he was dead.
We called animal doctor Jeremiah Poghon immediately.He removed the head of a poisoned arrow from the elephant's body, and let out over 100 liters of pus (膿)-the result of the elephant's meeting with a poacher(偷獵者) months before.
Today's poacher shoots from a blind.He fires an arrow, covered with poison, into the body of an elephant.If the poacher is lucky, the elephant might die in an hour or two; if not, he might have to follow the elephant for days before it dies.Often the arrow head fails to kill the elephant at once-it doesn't mean the poison won't finally kill the elephant, but it will be a slow death.
Living in Tsavo through these times, I could see the results of poaching from time to time.When I think about the death of that elephant, what stays with me is the extraordinary silence after the shocking sound of his body hitting the ground.I took some comfort from the knowledge that as the dead body returned to the soil, some animals would benefit-but I couldn't escape the feeling that with the death of such a large animal, the world seemed to be a poorer and emptier place.
()5.While filming near the water hole, the author and his team ________.
A.knew the elephant was injured
B.found the elephant acted violently
C.tried their best to save the elephant
D.thought the elephant was in good condition
()6.Further examination showed that the dead elephant________.
A.had suffered an hour or two
B.was killed by a poisonous needle
C.had suffered a lot
D.had had a good fight with a poacher
()7.How does the author feel when thinking about the elephant's death?
A.Empty. B.Comfortable.
C.Upset. D.Relieved.
()8.Why did the author write the text?
A.To introduce African elephant.
B.To show the cruelty of poaching.
C.To describe his filming experience.
D.To ask readers to protect wild animals.
【主旨大意】本文主要講述作者在肯尼亞察沃國家公園錄制節目時的經歷。作者在水源處看見一頭大象安靜在喝水,可是這頭大象忽然倒下,死了。作者和醫生仔細查看,原來大象幾個月前被偷獵者打了毒箭,傷口化膿。作者目睹了多次動物的死去,心里一直不能平靜。
5.【答案】D
【解析】細節理解題。根據第一段,作者看見這頭大象安靜地喝水,以為它走了很遠的路,需要休息。所以選D。
6.【答案】C
【解析】推理判斷題。根據第二段最后的“拔掉毒劍,放出100多毫升膿水”可知,“這頭大象在過去的幾個月里受了很多罪”。
7.【答案】C
【解析】細節理解題。根據文章最后一段第二句的“每次想到這頭大象的死,縈繞在心頭的就是它重重倒地后的沉寂”和最后一句的“這個世界變得更可憐、更空虛”可知答案。
