专题02记叙文专练二
1.(2023秋·北京昌平·高三期末)My name is Leo. I never thought of myself as a special person, but I always dreamed to be a superhero like Batman and Superman.
One morning, I awoke, slipped out of bed and looked out of the window. There was a world covered in a sea of white snow. I hurried to get dressed and set out to take a walk in the snow with my drone(无人机).
When I wandered in the park near my home, I saw the frozen river lying there peacefully. Then, a young girl came into my sight. She ran happily, followed by her mom from a distance. Suddenly, she was so excited that she accidentally rushed to the ice on the river. There was a creak (嘎吱声)and the girl, sensing something wrong, said “Mommy!” just before the ice gave way. With a splash(落水声), the young girl crashed through the ice. At that moment two things happened to me. Firstly, I stood more alertly(警觉地)than I had ever been before in my life. Secondly, I was on the move.
I didn’t know what overcame me but I needed to help. The precious drone in my hand crashed to the ground and was crushed by me as I ran. I threw off my jacket and scarf while running, knowing they would weigh me down. As the woman yelled “Help!” at passers-by, I was already moving across the ice to get the girl. I tried to pull her up but the ice further broke and I fell in too. As the water began to make me very cold to the bone, I thought only of the young girl. I grasped her under the arms and pushed her up onto the ice near the edge. I was of almost no help so the mother reached out and pulled her daughter into her arms.
“Take her. So c-c-c cold.” I said as I pushed the girl upwards.
The woman turned back to help me using the scarf but I was nowhere to be seen. Blackness enveloped me.
With a start I awoke! There were firemen all around me and I was lying in the snow with a mask on my face. Cheers broke out around me. My life really changed. It was a spirit and it did come to me because I was a true hero.

2.(2022·广西·统考一模)Dedicated educator is on a mission to revive rural education in a remote mountainous community and provide the best education to its children, one school at a time.
With her ponytail and big, square glasses, Cheng Feng looks every bit the schoolteacher. Yet, to many of her students, the 33-year-old is more than that. Cheng’s care for her rural students has extended beyond the classroom and makes her a mother figure to them all.
During the just past summer vacation, Cheng didn’t take time off but paid home visits to rural students of the Liling Primary School, which is located in the mountains more than 120 kilometers from the central area of Poyang county, East Chin’s Jiangxi province.
Most students have been left behind by their parents, who have to go to work far away from home and are looked after by their grandparents.
“Seeing these special families and special children is what made me realize the importance of rural education, and it is one of the major reasons why I have stuck around all these years,” says Cheng, who also grew up in Poyang.
Since learning that one of her students, Tan Yeting, and her brother, were just depending on the small income of their grandparents’ handmade broom business, Cheng would pay regular visits to Tan’s home. She would check the homework assignment of the two children, play games with them and cut their hair. These interactions have helped both children grow in confidence and shake off their timid nature at school.
“Cheng is just like our mother,” Tan says.
“I feel like I can talk to her about anything, ”she adds.
Cheng voluntarily chose to move to the school last year after she learned it was in need of faculty members. She has since helped to improve the teaching facilities, and went out of her way to reach children scattered around the surrounding rural area and persuade them to come to school.
Thanks to her efforts, approximately 200 children in the neighborhood have been able to enjoy a better education.
5.What was Chen Feng doing during the past summer vacation
A.She was on a holiday in the mountain.
B.She was looking after her students in school.

6.What do we know about Tan Yeting
A.Her parents deserted her brother and her. B.She is too shy to talk to her teacher.

Marie Williams, 41, and her partner Mark Morgan, 43, who are themselves both deaf, adopted the little dog from the animal charity The Blue Cross.

The distinctive dog, who has one blue eye, was dirty, sick and nervous when she was abandoned by a breeder who decided the deaf dog would not make him any money.

It goes to show with a little effort it is easy to cope with a deaf puppy—she has already learned the signs for several basic commands. I want everyone to see how well we have bonded with Puppy and how well she is getting on—she is so special to us. ”
Julie Stone, manager of The Blue Cross, said, “It was amazing to see how Marie, Mark and their children immediately bonded with Puppy and how they knew just how to get her attention. They are a brilliant match and Puppy has found the perfect home where I know that she will get the love she deserves. ”

5.(2022秋·上海浦东新·高三校考期中)When ten-year-old Reese Osterberg lost her Fresno County, California, home to one of the largest wildfires in state history early last fall, she had a very pressing concern: did anyone grab her baseball cards
No one had. With a houseful of kids and dogs and a farm’s worth of horses to evacuate, the family forgot the cards during the stress. Naturally, the diehard (顽固的) San Francisco Giants and Little League lefty with a swing as smooth as butter was upset. When she watched the Giants on TV, she would lay out each player’s card on the floor in his corresponding field position. “I like baseball cards because they are pictures of people doing happy stuff — doing what they love, and what I love.” said Reese.
Reese’s loss touched the hearts of the Fresno County fire department, which posted her story on its Facebook page with a request to help Reese restore her baseball card collection. That, in turn, touched the heart of Kevin Ashford.
Ashford knew exactly where Reese could find replacement cards: in his garage. He had more than 25,000 in his collection, with an exact value of 35,000 to 50,000. Ashford had been thinking about selling them when he saw the fire department’s post. “I wasn’t really doing anything with them,” said Ashford,“I thought I could take care of this problem rather quickly.”
First volunteers transported the cards from Ashford’s garage to theirs and then surprised Reese during a tour of the firehouse. Towers of Ashford’s cards were piled in front of the fire engine. After thanking Ashford, Reese was quick to share the thousands of baseball cards she received from Ashford and donors around the country with other kids affected by California’s Creek Fire.
She’s gotten so many, in fact, that she started Cards From Reese, an organization that collects cards and donates them to those in need. Reese is especially happy to part with Los Angeles Dodgers cards. As she explains it: “Go Giants!”
17.Why did Reese lose her baseball cards
A.She had a very large concern.
B.The family forgot where Reese put the cards.
C.Her house was burnt by the destructive.
D.Someone from a houseful of kids took away her cards.

6.(2023·全国·一模)Close to a century ago, New York’s Coney Island was famed for its sideshows (杂耍). Eye-catching signs crowded the island’s attractions, showing off circus shows, sword swallowers—and even an exhibition of tiny babies.
The babies were premature ones kept alive in incubators (婴儿保育箱) pioneered by Dr. Martin Couney. The medical establishment had rejected his incubators, but Dr. Couney didn’t give up on his aims. Starting in 1896, he funded his work by displaying the babies and charging 25 cents to see the show. In return, parents didn’t have to pay for Dr. Couney’s incubators, and many children survived who would never have had a chance otherwise.
Born in 12, Lucille Horn ended up in an incubator on Coney Island. She’d been born a twin, but her twin died at birth. And the hospital staff told her father that there wasn’t a chance she’d live. “It was just: You die because you didn’t belong in the world,” Horn says. But her father refused to accept that answer. He grabbed a blanket to wrap her in, called a taxi, and took her to Coney Island—and to Dr. Couney’s infant (婴幼儿) exhibit.
Years later, Horn decided to return to see the babies—this time as a visitor. When she took the opportunity to introduce herself, Dr. Couney went over to a man who was uneasily looking at his small infant. “Look at this young lady,” Dr. Couney told the man. “She’s one of our babies. And that’s how your baby’s gonna grow up.”
Horn was just one of thousands of premature infants that Dr. Couney cared for and displayed at amusement parks until the 194s. He died in 1950, shortly after incubators like his were introduced in most hospitals. At the time, Dr. Couney’s efforts were largely unknown—but at least one person will never forget him. “Ninety-six years later, here I am, all in one piece. And I’m thankful to be here,” Horn says.
21.What can we learn about Dr. Couney’s incubator
A.It pushed medical science forward. B.It was the most famous sideshow.
C.It saved many premature babies. D.It charged each infant 25 cents.
22.Why was Horn taken to Dr. Couney’s infant exhibit
A.She belonged in nowhere else but Coney Island.
B.It was the only place where she might survive.
C.The hospital staff lacked the patience to care for her.
D.Her father refused to accept the death of her twin sister.
23.What is the purpose of Dr. Couney’s words in Paragraph 4
A.To relieve the man’s anxiety. B.To introduce the lady to the man.
C.To promise the baby’s bright future. D.To explain the function of the incubator.
24.What should we learn from Dr. Couney’s story
A.Medical knowledge. B.Earning power.
C.Persuasive techniques. D.Flexible mind.
【答案】21.C 22.B 23.A 24.D
【导语】本文为记叙文。讲述了19世纪90年代Dr. Couney在科尼岛的游乐场里展出保育箱,游客花25美分可以观看保育箱中展示的早产婴儿,Dr. Couney以这种方式拯救了许多早产儿的生命,Lucille Horn就是其中一个。
21.细节理解题。根据第二段“The babies were premature ones kept alive in incubators(婴儿保育箱)pioneered by Dr. Martin Couney.”(这些婴儿都是早产儿,在Martin Couney首创的婴儿保育箱中存活。)和“many children survived who never would have had a chance otherwise”(许多孩子活了下来,否则他们永远不会有机会)可知,Dr. Martin Couney的婴儿保育箱使许多早产儿得以存活。故选C。
22.推理判断题。根据第三段“Born in 12, Lucille Horn ended up in an incubator on Coney Island. ”(Lucille Horn出生于12年,在科尼岛的一个婴儿保育箱中长大。)可知,Horn最终在保育箱中存活下来;由第三段“And the hospital staff told her father that there wasn’t a chance she’d live”(医院的工作人员告诉她父亲,她已经没有活下去的机会了。)和“But her father refused to accept that answer. He grabbed a blanket to wrap her in, called a taxi, and took her to Coney Island—and to Dr. Couney’s infant exhibit.”(但是她的父亲拒绝接受这个回答,他拿了一条毯子把她裹起来,叫了一辆出租车,带她去了科尼岛,以及Dr. Couney的婴儿展览。)可知,Horn的父亲不接受医院的说法,所以带她去科尼岛Dr. Couney的婴幼儿展览 ,可以推测这也是Horn在当时情况下可能活下去的唯一希望了。故选B。
23.推理判断题。根据第四段“a man who was uneasily looking at his small infant.”(一个男人不安地看着他的小婴儿。)和Dr. Couney的话语“She’s one of our babies. And that’s how your baby’s gonna grow up.”(她是我们的孩子。你的孩子就会这样长大。)可知,Dr. Couney用成活的早产儿Horn作例子来安慰这位焦虑的父亲,缓解他不安的情绪。故选A。
24.推理判断题。根据第二段“The medical establishment had rejected his incubators, but Dr. Couney didn’t give up on his aims. Starting in 1896, he funded his work by displaying the babies and charging 25 cents to see the show.”(医疗机构拒绝了他的保育箱,但Couney没有放弃自己的目标。从1896年开始,他通过展示婴儿和收取25美分的费用来资助他的工作。)可知,Dr. Couney在被医疗机构拒绝的情况下没有放弃,而是灵活改变方法,以实现自己的目标;同时,由第三段“But her father refused to accept that answer. He grabbed a blanket to wrap her in, called a taxi, and took her to Coney Island—and to Dr. Couney’s infant exhibit.”(但是她的父亲拒绝接受这个回答,他拿了一条毯子把她裹起来,叫了一辆出租车,带她去了科尼岛,以及Dr. Couney的婴儿展览。)可知,孩子的父亲在医院给出孩子无法存活的回答后,没有放弃,而是选择去Couney的婴幼儿展览,最终让孩子得以存活长大。这都说明了做事情要有灵活的思维,多想办法,以实现自己的目标。故选D。
7.(2022·浙江·校联考一模)A 27-year-old woman,Hannah Bacon will be spending most of the year walking more than 2,000 miles in the name of climate change advocacy. She is making the long-distance hike to raise awareness about climate change and support the Sunrise Movement.
On Nov. 1, Hannah Bacon started what she estimates will be a seven-month-long journey from California to Virginia Beach. Along the way, she hopes to raise money for the Sunrise Movement,an organization focused on mobilizing(动员)climate activists around the country to create a sustainable future.
Bacon, who lost her job during the COVID-19, was inspired to set foot on the journey after reading the book The Uninhabitable Earth by David Wallace-Wells. The book describes the ways a warming planet is affecting the Earth more than what people may realize. That’s when Bacon thought about the ways she could help the planet.
Bacon graduated from the University of Connecticut in 2015 and has since served as an ESL(English as a Second Language)instructor, a naturalist at an outdoor school, and sold vegetables at farmer’s markets,according to her website on the project,which she’s named Miles For Climate. She also helped adolescents in substance-abuse recovery, worked as an EMT (Emergency Medical Technician),and helped a nonprofit promoting zero waste in New York City.
Bacon is documenting her journey to Virginia Beach on her web page,Miles For Climate. Her most recent update on Monday showed sle had already walked more than 650 miles in 46 days. As of now,Bacon is only about $8,500 short of her $20,000 fundraising goal for Sunrise Movement.
“I hope people understand there is so much more we can be doing,and climate change is here and really important,” she added, “No one is perfect but there are lifestyle changes we can all make.”
25.What is the purpose of the long-distance hike

(培根于2015年毕业于康涅狄格大学,此后一直担任ESL讲师,一所户外学校的博物学家,并在农贸市场卖蔬菜,根据她的项目网站,她被命名为气候迈尔斯)”可知,本段主要讲述了培根做个各种不同的职业。故选A。

8.(2022·全国·模拟预测)A group of graduates got together to visit their old university professor.
The conversation soon turned into complaints about stress in work and life. Offering his guests coffee, the professor went to the kitchen and returned with a large pot of coffee and a variety of cups — porcelain(瓷), plastic, glass — telling them to help themselves to the coffee. Meanwhile the professor stood nearby watching.
When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the professor said, “If you have noticed, all the nice-looking expensive cups have been taken up, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones. It is normal for you to want only the best for yourselves, which is the source of your problems and stress.”
“Be assured that the cup itself adds no quality to the coffee. In most cases it is just more expensive and in some cases even hides what we drink. What all of you really want is coffee, not the cup, but you consciously went for the best cups... And then you began eyeing each other’s cups.”
“Now consider this: Life is the coffee; the jobs, money and position in society are the cups. They are just tools to hold and contain life, and the type of cup we have does not define, nor change the quality of the life we live. Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee. Savor(品味) the coffee, not the cups! Don’t let the cups drive you... enjoy the coffee instead.”
After listening to his words, the students tasted coffee carefully and found it more delicious than ever.
29.Why did the professor take out various cups with a large pot of coffee
A.To show his wealth. B.To tell students the philosophy of life.
C.To offer more choices to students. D.To match different coffee tastes.
30.According to the professor, what is the source of the students’ problems and stress
A.Looking for good jobs. B.Searching for nice companions.
C.Buying a big house. D.Pursuing perfection.
31.Why did students eye each other’s cups
A.To make sure their own cups were better. B.Only to talk about their coffee.
C.To intend to have others’ cups. D.To exchange their coffee with others.
32.What does the passage mainly tell us
A.Coffee is the best. B.Cups are nothing.
C.Learn to enjoy your life. D.The appearance is everything.
【答案】29.B 30.D 31.A 32.C
【导语】这是一篇记叙文,一群大学毕业生去看望自己的教授,向教授抱怨工作和生活的压力,教授则通过咖啡与杯子向学生们传授人生哲理。
29.细节理解题。根据第三至五段中教授所说的话可知,教授端来一大壶咖啡和各种各样的杯子,是想借杯子和咖啡向学生们传授人生哲理。故选B。
30.细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句“It is normal for you to want only the best for yourselves, which is the source of your problems and stress.(你们只想给自己最好的,这很正常,但这也是你们问题和压力的根源)”可知,追求完美是学生们的问题和压力的来源。故选D。
31.推理判断题。根据第四段内容“What all of you really want is coffee, not the cup, but you consciously went for the best cups... And then you began eyeing each other’s cups.(你们真正想要的是咖啡,而不是杯子,但你们却有意识地去拿最好的杯子……然后你们开始看对方的杯子)”可知,学生们真正想要的是咖啡而不是杯子,但是他们都下意识地去拿最好的杯子,然后开始互相打量对方的杯子。由此可推知,学生们互相打量对方的杯子是想确保自己的杯子比别人的好。故选A。
32.主旨大意题。根据第五段中教授的话“Savor(品味) the coffee, not the cups! Don’t let the cups drive you... enjoy the coffee instead.(品味咖啡,而不是杯子!不要让杯子左右你……享受咖啡吧)”可知,我们不应该只把注意力集中在工作、金钱、社会地位之类的事情上,而要更多地去关注生活本身,去享受生活。由此可知,C项“学会享受生活”符合文章主旨。故选C。
9.(2022·上海青浦·统考一模)Arens, a driver of a delivery company, was making his rounds near a pond in Bozeman, Montana, when he heard an unearthly sound.
It was December 2018, and about 15 feet from the frozen banks was the source of that cry — a half- submerged brown- and- white wirehaired dog, struggling to hold on to a thin layer of ice.
How she got there no one knows, but an elderly man was already on the scene, determined to save her. He’d entered the pond in a rowboat and was hacking a way at the ice with a rock to create a path to the dog.
It was slow going, and Arens, 44 , thought he stood a better chance. He took off his clothes, even though the temperature was -30℃ , and jumped into the rowboat.
His heart beating fast, Arens slid closer to the dog and used the other man’s rock to smash away at the ice. He gave himself a strong pull and slipped off the boat, crashing into 1 6 feet of freezing water. He resurfaced in time to see the dog going under. Using nervous energy to keep warm, he swam about five feet toward her, grabbed hold of her collar, and pulled her to the ice. He then boosted the dog into the boat and slid it back to the shore, where anxious bystanders carried the dog to the home of the rowboat owner.
Once in the house himself, Arens jumped into a warm shower with the dog until they both felt warmer.
A few more minutes in the pond, the vet (兽医) told Arens, and she would have likely suffered heart failure.
The next day, Arens was back working in the same neighborhood when the dog’s owner came over to thank him for saving Sadie.
Arens says, “ That special delivery was the highlight of my career.”
33.What does the underlined word “ hacking” in paragraph three most probably mean
A.cutting B.finding C.mending D.adopting
34.Why does Arens think “he stood a better chance” (in paragraph four) according to the passage
A.He was able to jump into the rowboat. B.He had better nerves to keep warm.
C.He had an advantage in age. D.He was a faster swimmer.
35.Which of the following statements is true about the incident
A.After saving the dog, Arens carried her home.
B.Arens jumped into the river on seeing the dog.
C.The dog was hunting when she fell into the water.
D.Without Aren’s help, the dog could hardly survive.
36.What is the main idea of the passage
A.A story of a pet lover. B.A special delivery of a driver.
C.A dog suffering from heart attack. D.A fight against freezing water.
【答案】33.A 34.C 35.D 36.B
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲的是一位汽车司机从冰冷的水里救出一只宠物狗的故事。
33.词句猜测题。根据文章第二段“It was December 2018, and about 15 feet from the frozen banks was the source of that cry — a half- submerged brown- and- white wirehaired dog, struggling to hold on to a thin layer of ice.(那是2018年12月,距离结冰的河岸大约15英尺的地方传来了那声喊叫——一只半淹在水里的棕白相间的毛狗,挣扎着抓住一层薄薄的冰。)”以及第三段“How she got there no one knows, but an elderly man was already on the scene, determined to save her. He’d entered the pond in a rowboat and was hacking a way at the ice with a rock to create a path to the dog.(没有人知道她是怎么到那里的,但一位老人已经在现场,决心要救她。他乘划艇进入池塘,用一块石头在冰上凿出一条路,给狗狗开一条路。)”以及第五段“His heart beating fast, Arens slid closer to the dog and used the other man’s rock to smash away at the ice.( Arens的心怦怦直跳,他向狗靠得更近,用另一个人的石头砸开了冰。)”可知狗狗被困在了距离结冰河岸很远的地方,所以想要救出它必须破冰找路,所以此处划线词的意思应与A项cutting意思相近。故选A项。
34.推理判断题。根据文章第二段“but an elderly man was already on the scene, determined to save her. He’d entered the pond in a rowboat and was hacking a way at the ice with a rock to create a path to the dog.(但一位老人已经在现场,决心要救她。他乘划艇进入池塘,用一块石头在冰上凿出一条路,给狗狗开一条路。)”以及第三段“It was slow going, and Arens, 44 , thought he stood a better chance. He took off his clothes, even though the temperature was -30℃ , and jumped into the rowboat.(这是一个缓慢的过程,44岁的阿伦斯认为他有更好的机会。尽管气温有零下30℃,他还是脱下了衣服,跳进了划艇。)”可知虽然一位老人已经在用一块石头在冰上凿冰开路了,但是老人的动作进展太缓慢,而44岁的Arens就用石头凿冰而言在体力上是有优势的。故选C项。
35.细节理解题。根据文章第五段“He then boosted the dog into the boat and slid it back to the shore, where anxious bystanders carried the dog to the home of the rowboat owner. (然后他把狗推到船上,把它滑回岸边,焦急的旁观者把狗抱到了船主的家里。)”可知Arens救了狗狗之后并没有将它带回自己的家,选项A不对;依据第四段“It was slow going, and Arens, 44 , thought he stood a better chance. He took off his clothes, even though the temperature was -30℃ , and jumped into the rowboat.(这是一个缓慢的过程,44岁的Arens认为他有更好的机会。尽管气温只有零下30℃,他还是脱下了衣服,跳进了划艇。)可知44岁的Arens并没有在见到狗狗之后就直接跳进了水里,而是等了一个合适的时机,所以选项B不对;依据第三段“How she got there no one knows,(没人知道她是怎么到那里的,)”可知没有人知道狗狗是如何到了那个地方的,所以不确定是否是在觅食,所以选项C不对,根据第五段“His heart beating fast, Arens slid closer to the dog and used the other man’s rock to smash away at the ice. He gave himself a strong pull and slipped off the boat, crashing into 1 6 feet of freezing water. He resurfaced in time to see the dog going under. Using nervous energy to keep warm, he swam about five feet toward her, grabbed hold of her collar, and pulled her to the ice. He then boosted the dog into the boat and slid it back to the shore, where anxious bystanders carried the dog to the home of the rowboat owner.( Arens的心怦怦直跳,他向狗靠得更近,用另一个人的石头砸开了冰。他用力一拉,从船上滑了下去,掉进了16英尺深的冰冷海水中。他及时浮出水面,看见那条狗沉下去了。他用紧张的精力保持体温,向她游了大约5英尺,抓住的它衣领,把它拉到冰上。然后他把狗推到船上,把它滑回岸边,焦急的旁观者把狗抱到了船主的家里。)”可知正是Arens的及时出手救了狗狗,所以没有Arens的帮助狗狗就不可能活下来。故选D项。
36.主旨大意题。文章一二段“Arens, a driver of a delivery company, was making his rounds near a pond in Bozeman, Montana, when he heard an unearthly sound.( Arens是一家快递公司的司机,当时他正在蒙大拿州Bozeman的一个池塘附近巡视,突然听到了一种不寻常的声音。)”以及“It was December 2018, and about 15 feet from the frozen banks was the source of that cry — a half- submerged brown- and- white wirehaired dog, struggling to hold on to a thin layer of ice.(那是2018年12月,距离结冰的河岸大约15英尺的地方传来了那声喊叫——一只半淹在水里的棕白相间的毛狗,挣扎着抓住一层薄薄的冰。)”讲的是汽车司机救狗狗的背景,三、四、五段主要讲汽车司机救狗狗的经过,最后四段主要讲的是救狗之后的情况以及司机对这件事的看法。纵观全文,文章都在围绕着快递司机的救狗经过展开,所以选项B A special delivery of a driver作为文章的题目最合适。故选B项。
10.(2022·四川自贡·统考一模)Ranked as one of the poorest states in America, Louisiana is often struck by coastal storms and hurricanes. The sky-high poverty and crime rates are destructive for residents—especially for young people. Despite the unfavorable situation, there is a spirit of survival and hope for people living in Baton Rouge. “We choose to live by joy and community more than look at horrible issues and challenges that sometimes feel too big for us to take on,” said Dustin La Font, whose nonprofit, Front Yard Bikes, supports hundreds of students in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, every year as they pedal towards a brighter future.
At Front Yard Bikes, students work to build their own bicycle, learning skills like mechanics, welding and cycling safety, while receiving mentoring, academic support, and job training opportunities.
“We had to put a ton of energy and love into it,’’ La Font said. “Students learned to saw, drill, measure, cut. They learned to paint, design, and plan. And they built their own program from scratch. Our mission is to create safe spaces that empower our kids to learn about their intrinsic worth as they learn, grow, and build.”
Many kids now gather after school in this safe place to ride, play, and help out in the garden. “Pretty much any kid can find a place here to belong,” La Font said. “For the fact that they built their park, there’s ownership over it. They take care of their park.”
Front Yard Bikes serves nearly 400 young people a year. To date, 50 students have been certified in mechanics, and 2,000 kids have benefited from the program.
“People say to me, ‘Thank you for keeping kids busy and out of the streets’,” La Font said. “I don’t like that because it says kids are the problems to be solved. But they are our greatest resource for our community challenges; they are problem solvers, not trouble makers. My constant fight is trying to get people to see who our kids really are ... and to see that they have something to offer right now.”
37.How do people in Baton Rouge feel about their life
A.Desperate. B.Hopeful.
C.Over-stressed. D.Satisfied.
38.What do we learn about Front Yard Bikes from paragraph 4
A.It is energy-consuming. B.It brings money for kids.
C.It builds a sense of competition. D.It frees kids from worries about school-life.
39.Why do kids find a sense of belonging in the garden
A.They created the garden themselves.
B.They are well protected in the garden.
C.They find the garden similar to their home.
D.They receive good education in the garden.
40.What role do kids play in the community according to La Font
A.They serve as part-time workers.
B.They bring about many problems.
C.They fall victim to violence and poverty.
D.They are helpful in the face of challenges.

38.推理判断题。根据第三段““We had to put a ton of energy and love into it,’’ La Font said. “Students learned to saw, drill, measure, cut. They learned to paint, design, and plan. And they built their own program from scratch. Our mission is to create safe spaces that empower our kids to learn about their intrinsic worth as they learn, grow, and build.”(“我们必须投入大量的精力和爱,”拉丰特说。“学生们学会了锯、钻、量、切。他们学习绘画、设计和规划。他们从零开始创建了自己的项目。我们的使命是创造安全的空间,让我们的孩子在学习、成长和建设的过程中了解自己的内在价值。”)可知, Front Yard Bikes是费精力的。故选A。
39.细节理解题。根据文章第四段“‘Pretty much any kid can find a place here to belong,’ La Font said. ‘For the fact that they built their park, there’s ownership over it. They take care of their park.’(“几乎每个孩子都能在这里找到属于自己的地方。”拉方特说:“事实上,他们建造了自己的公园,因此拥有所有权。他们负责管理自己的公园。”)”可知,孩子们自己创造公园,拥有所有权,所以孩子们在公园会有归属感。故选A。

1.(2023秋·北京昌平·高三期末)My name is Leo. I never thought of myself as a special person, but I always dreamed to be a superhero like Batman and Superman.
One morning, I awoke, slipped out of bed and looked out of the window. There was a world covered in a sea of white snow. I hurried to get dressed and set out to take a walk in the snow with my drone(无人机).
When I wandered in the park near my home, I saw the frozen river lying there peacefully. Then, a young girl came into my sight. She ran happily, followed by her mom from a distance. Suddenly, she was so excited that she accidentally rushed to the ice on the river. There was a creak (嘎吱声)and the girl, sensing something wrong, said “Mommy!” just before the ice gave way. With a splash(落水声), the young girl crashed through the ice. At that moment two things happened to me. Firstly, I stood more alertly(警觉地)than I had ever been before in my life. Secondly, I was on the move.
I didn’t know what overcame me but I needed to help. The precious drone in my hand crashed to the ground and was crushed by me as I ran. I threw off my jacket and scarf while running, knowing they would weigh me down. As the woman yelled “Help!” at passers-by, I was already moving across the ice to get the girl. I tried to pull her up but the ice further broke and I fell in too. As the water began to make me very cold to the bone, I thought only of the young girl. I grasped her under the arms and pushed her up onto the ice near the edge. I was of almost no help so the mother reached out and pulled her daughter into her arms.
“Take her. So c-c-c cold.” I said as I pushed the girl upwards.
The woman turned back to help me using the scarf but I was nowhere to be seen. Blackness enveloped me.
With a start I awoke! There were firemen all around me and I was lying in the snow with a mask on my face. Cheers broke out around me. My life really changed. It was a spirit and it did come to me because I was a true hero.

2.(2022·广西·统考一模)Dedicated educator is on a mission to revive rural education in a remote mountainous community and provide the best education to its children, one school at a time.
With her ponytail and big, square glasses, Cheng Feng looks every bit the schoolteacher. Yet, to many of her students, the 33-year-old is more than that. Cheng’s care for her rural students has extended beyond the classroom and makes her a mother figure to them all.
During the just past summer vacation, Cheng didn’t take time off but paid home visits to rural students of the Liling Primary School, which is located in the mountains more than 120 kilometers from the central area of Poyang county, East Chin’s Jiangxi province.
Most students have been left behind by their parents, who have to go to work far away from home and are looked after by their grandparents.
“Seeing these special families and special children is what made me realize the importance of rural education, and it is one of the major reasons why I have stuck around all these years,” says Cheng, who also grew up in Poyang.
Since learning that one of her students, Tan Yeting, and her brother, were just depending on the small income of their grandparents’ handmade broom business, Cheng would pay regular visits to Tan’s home. She would check the homework assignment of the two children, play games with them and cut their hair. These interactions have helped both children grow in confidence and shake off their timid nature at school.
“Cheng is just like our mother,” Tan says.
“I feel like I can talk to her about anything, ”she adds.
Cheng voluntarily chose to move to the school last year after she learned it was in need of faculty members. She has since helped to improve the teaching facilities, and went out of her way to reach children scattered around the surrounding rural area and persuade them to come to school.
Thanks to her efforts, approximately 200 children in the neighborhood have been able to enjoy a better education.
5.What was Chen Feng doing during the past summer vacation
A.She was on a holiday in the mountain.
B.She was looking after her students in school.

At first I played games over the Internet after I had done my homework and eaten dinner. Then I started playing as soon as I got home each day. My parents stopped me, so I started playing in the middle of the night. I often fell asleep in class. My teacher would scold me but I would often do the same thing the next day!

To succeed in quitting, I had to replace it with something else. So I thought about what to try. Rock climbing bowling, watching comedies, and playing basketball were the things I thought of doing instead. I get refreshed through climbing, spend more time with my dad, and get to meet new friends. The more we get together and laugh, the more relaxed I feel. Besides, I can eat a little more food, sleep soundly, and Pm almost in high spirits.
After six months of trying out new ways of relaxing, I feel much more energetic. I feel that I can change myself for the better. And if that’s true for me, then it might truly be possible to change the world for others. Just as the saying goes,” Nothing is difficult to a willing heart.“

Marie Williams, 41, and her partner Mark Morgan, 43, who are themselves both deaf, adopted the little dog from the animal charity The Blue Cross. The couple and their three sons Liam, 16, Lewis, 13, and Owen, 5, who have normal hearing, are teaching the loving dog sign language commands, including instructions for sit, come and roll over.
Marie Williams, from West Mersea, Essex, said, “We were thinking about getting a dog but when we saw Puppy was deaf we just could not believe it. She was so beautiful and the fact that she was deaf just made us fall in love with her even more—we knew that she would fit right into our family. ”
The distinctive dog, who has one blue eye, was dirty, sick and nervous when she was abandoned by a breeder who decided the deaf dog would not make him any money.
Miss Williams said, “I feel so angry that someone abandoned her because in his eyes she was not ‘perfect’. It goes to show with a little effort it is easy to cope with a deaf puppy—she has already learned the signs for several basic commands. I want everyone to see how well we have bonded with Puppy and how well she is getting on—she is so special to us. ”
Julie Stone, manager of The Blue Cross, said, “It was amazing to see how Marie, Mark and their children immediately bonded with Puppy and how they knew just how to get her attention. They are a brilliant match and Puppy has found the perfect home where I know that she will get the love she deserves. ”
The Blue Cross, which depends entirely on public donations, rehomes thousands of dogs, cats, horses, and small animals every year through its network of adoption centers.

5.(2022秋·上海浦东新·高三校考期中)When ten-year-old Reese Osterberg lost her Fresno County, California, home to one of the largest wildfires in state history early last fall, she had a very pressing concern: did anyone grab her baseball cards
No one had. With a houseful of kids and dogs and a farm’s worth of horses to evacuate, the family forgot the cards during the stress. Naturally, the diehard (顽固的) San Francisco Giants and Little League lefty with a swing as smooth as butter was upset. When she watched the Giants on TV, she would lay out each player’s card on the floor in his corresponding field position. “I like baseball cards because they are pictures of people doing happy stuff — doing what they love, and what I love.” said Reese.
Reese’s loss touched the hearts of the Fresno County fire department, which posted her story on its Facebook page with a request to help Reese restore her baseball card collection. That, in turn, touched the heart of Kevin Ashford.
Ashford knew exactly where Reese could find replacement cards: in his garage. He had more than 25,000 in his collection, with an exact value of 35,000 to 50,000. Ashford had been thinking about selling them when he saw the fire department’s post. “I wasn’t really doing anything with them,” said Ashford,“I thought I could take care of this problem rather quickly.”
First volunteers transported the cards from Ashford’s garage to theirs and then surprised Reese during a tour of the firehouse. Towers of Ashford’s cards were piled in front of the fire engine. After thanking Ashford, Reese was quick to share the thousands of baseball cards she received from Ashford and donors around the country with other kids affected by California’s Creek Fire.
She’s gotten so many, in fact, that she started Cards From Reese, an organization that collects cards and donates them to those in need. Reese is especially happy to part with Los Angeles Dodgers cards. As she explains it: “Go Giants!”

6.(2023·全国·一模)Close to a century ago, New York’s Coney Island was famed for its sideshows (杂耍). Eye-catching signs crowded the island’s attractions, showing off circus shows, sword swallowers—and even an exhibition of tiny babies.
The babies were premature ones kept alive in incubators (婴儿保育箱) pioneered by Dr. Martin Couney. The medical establishment had rejected his incubators, but Dr. Couney didn’t give up on his aims. Starting in 1896, he funded his work by displaying the babies and charging 25 cents to see the show. In return, parents didn’t have to pay for Dr. Couney’s incubators, and many children survived who would never have had a chance otherwise.
Born in 12, Lucille Horn ended up in an incubator on Coney Island. She’d been born a twin, but her twin died at birth. And the hospital staff told her father that there wasn’t a chance she’d live. “It was just: You die because you didn’t belong in the world,” Horn says. But her father refused to accept that answer. He grabbed a blanket to wrap her in, called a taxi, and took her to Coney Island—and to Dr. Couney’s infant (婴幼儿) exhibit.
Years later, Horn decided to return to see the babies—this time as a visitor. When she took the opportunity to introduce herself, Dr. Couney went over to a man who was uneasily looking at his small infant. “Look at this young lady,” Dr. Couney told the man. “She’s one of our babies. And that’s how your baby’s gonna grow up.”
Horn was just one of thousands of premature infants that Dr. Couney cared for and displayed at amusement parks until the 194s. He died in 1950, shortly after incubators like his were introduced in most hospitals. At the time, Dr. Couney’s efforts were largely unknown—but at least one person will never forget him. “Ninety-six years later, here I am, all in one piece. And I’m thankful to be here,” Horn says.

7.(2022·浙江·校联考一模)A 27-year-old woman,Hannah Bacon will be spending most of the year walking more than 2,000 miles in the name of climate change advocacy. She is making the long-distance hike to raise awareness about climate change and support the Sunrise Movement.

8.(2022·全国·模拟预测)A group of graduates got together to visit their old university professor.
The conversation soon turned into complaints about stress in work and life. Offering his guests coffee, the professor went to the kitchen and returned with a large pot of coffee and a variety of cups — porcelain(瓷), plastic, glass — telling them to help themselves to the coffee. Meanwhile the professor stood nearby watching.
When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the professor said, “If you have noticed, all the nice-looking expensive cups have been taken up, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones. It is normal for you to want only the best for yourselves, which is the source of your problems and stress.”
“Be assured that the cup itself adds no quality to the coffee. In most cases it is just more expensive and in some cases even hides what we drink. What all of you really want is coffee, not the cup, but you consciously went for the best cups... And then you began eyeing each other’s cups.”
“Now consider this: Life is the coffee; the jobs, money and position in society are the cups. They are just tools to hold and contain life, and the type of cup we have does not define, nor change the quality of the life we live. Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee. Savor(品味) the coffee, not the cups! Don’t let the cups drive you... enjoy the coffee instead.”
After listening to his words, the students tasted coffee carefully and found it more delicious than ever.

9.(2022·上海青浦·统考一模)Arens, a driver of a delivery company, was making his rounds near a pond in Bozeman, Montana, when he heard an unearthly sound.
It was December 2018, and about 15 feet from the frozen banks was the source of that cry — a half- submerged brown- and- white wirehaired dog, struggling to hold on to a thin layer of ice.
How she got there no one knows, but an elderly man was already on the scene, determined to save her. He’d entered the pond in a rowboat and was hacking a way at the ice with a rock to create a path to the dog.
It was slow going, and Arens, 44 , thought he stood a better chance. He took off his clothes, even though the temperature was -30℃ , and jumped into the rowboat.
His heart beating fast, Arens slid closer to the dog and used the other man’s rock to smash away at the ice. He gave himself a strong pull and slipped off the boat, crashing into 1 6 feet of freezing water. He resurfaced in time to see the dog going under. Using nervous energy to keep warm, he swam about five feet toward her, grabbed hold of her collar, and pulled her to the ice. He then boosted the dog into the boat and slid it back to the shore, where anxious bystanders carried the dog to the home of the rowboat owner.
Once in the house himself, Arens jumped into a warm shower with the dog until they both felt warmer.
A few more minutes in the pond, the vet (兽医) told Arens, and she would have likely suffered heart failure.
The next day, Arens was back working in the same neighborhood when the dog’s owner came over to thank him for saving Sadie.
Arens says, “ That special delivery was the highlight of my career.”

10.(2022·四川自贡·统考一模)Ranked as one of the poorest states in America, Louisiana is often struck by coastal storms and hurricanes. The sky-high poverty and crime rates are destructive for residents—especially for young people. Despite the unfavorable situation, there is a spirit of survival and hope for people living in Baton Rouge. “We choose to live by joy and community more than look at horrible issues and challenges that sometimes feel too big for us to take on,” said Dustin La Font, whose nonprofit, Front Yard Bikes, supports hundreds of students in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, every year as they pedal towards a brighter future.
At Front Yard Bikes, students work to build their own bicycle, learning skills like mechanics, welding and cycling safety, while receiving mentoring, academic support, and job training opportunities.
“We had to put a ton of energy and love into it,’’ La Font said. “Students learned to saw, drill, measure, cut. They learned to paint, design, and plan. And they built their own program from scratch. Our mission is to create safe spaces that empower our kids to learn about their intrinsic worth as they learn, grow, and build.”
Many kids now gather after school in this safe place to ride, play, and help out in the garden. “Pretty much any kid can find a place here to belong,” La Font said. “For the fact that they built their park, there’s ownership over it. They take care of their park.”
Front Yard Bikes serves nearly 400 young people a year. To date, 50 students have been certified in mechanics, and 2,000 kids have benefited from the program.
“People say to me, ‘Thank you for keeping kids busy and out of the streets’,” La Font said. “I don’t like that because it says kids are the problems to be solved. But they are our greatest resource for our community challenges; they are problem solvers, not trouble makers. My constant fight is trying to get people to see who our kids really are ... and to see that they have something to offer right now.”
37.How do people in Baton Rouge feel about their life
A.Desperate. B.Hopeful.
