3、ts owner. “But I am the owner,” the woman said. “Thats my purse.”A month earlier, Kaitlyn Smith, had woken up to find her apartment broken into and her purse stolen. Now she came across a tall, messy-looking man holding it tightly. She could instantly tell he wasnt in good shape. Smith, amazed this

4、stranger had gone to such great lengths to return her bag, asked whether there was anything she could do to help. “Im a drug addict,” McCoy warned. “I dont want to disturb your life.” Unafraid, Smith gave him her phone number, saying, “If you want to go to rehab (戒毒所), call me.” She then drove him b

5、ack to his neighborhood and left, thinking that would be the end of it. Two days later, she got a call.Smith realized that McCoy was serious about getting better, so she dug into her savings account and bought McCoy a plane ticket to Florida. While there, he would call her to let her know how he was

9、d.C.Mutual Communication Matters.D.Good Deeds Repaid.【答案】1.C2.B3.C4.D【分析】这是一篇记叙文。讲述了吸毒者麦考伊捡到了史密斯的钱包，好意送回，而史密斯帮助麦考伊戒毒以报答的暖心故事。1.细节理解题。根据文章第二段第二句“Remembering how angered hed been by his own loss, he resolved to return the purse to its owner.”（想起自己丢失钱包时的愤怒，他决定把钱包还给失主。）可知，McCoy决定寻找手提包主人的原因是他想起了自己被偷睡袋后的愤

10、怒，即自己不幸的经历，故选C。2.推理判断题。根据文章第三段第五句 “Im a drug addict,” McCoy warned.”（“我是个瘾君子，”麦考伊警告说。）和第六句 “I dont want to disturb your life.” （我不想打扰你的生活。）可知，对于史密斯的帮助意图，麦考伊最初的反应是拒绝。故选B。3.细节理解题。本文中麦考伊捡到了史密斯的钱包，并不是钱包盗窃案的受害者。A选项错误；第三段倒数第二句中“She then drove him back to his neighborhood and left”以及前后句并没有提到史密斯送麦考伊回家是应了麦考伊

11、的要求。B选项错误；由最后一段最后一句中“a GoFundMe page set up by Smith has covered his rent, groceries, and incidentals”可知，是史密斯建立的GoFundMe page涵盖了他的生活费，而不是史密斯负责。D选项错误；由第三段第三句“She could instantly tell he wasnt in good shape. ”可知，麦考伊遇到史密斯时，看起来并不健康。“in good shape”意为健康。C选项正确。故选C。4.主旨大意题。 A选项“吸毒可以被治愈”，B选项“失去和找到”都不够全面，都只是文

12、章中提到的部分，并不能够概括全文。C选项“相互沟通很重要”并不是全文主要表达的意思。短文讲述了吸毒者麦考伊捡到了史密斯的钱包，好意送回，而史密斯帮助麦考伊戒毒以报答的暖心故事。D选项“善行报答”为最佳标题。故选D。2 TOM RACHMANS latest novel records the life and legend of Bear Bavinsky, a painter of enormous appetites and all-consuming ego (自我), largely through the eyes of his son, Charles (known as Pinc

47、 that having narrow local focus leaves little room for anything but a selfish mindset is a misconception, according to a new study that found that concern for local affairs could help with global environmental conservation.You might have heard of NIMBY which means “not in my back yard” and describes

48、 an individual or group opposed to a new addition to the neighborhood, typically a factory, roadway or power station. Nimbyism and parochialism(眼界狭小), which is a focus on a local area, can go hand in hand, and there are concerns that parochialism paves the way for prejudice, narrowmindedness, and se

49、lfishness.But researchers found the exact opposite to be true in a new study published. The researchers argue that positive parochialism can inspire a larger awareness of global environmental problems and encourage people to action.“We did not find evidence that parochialism was necessarily negative

50、 and inward -looking,” said Patrick, a researcher for the study. “It can be those things, but theres no necessary conflict between feeling connected to your local area and feeling connected to the wider world. ”For the study, the researchers reviewed documents from the 1987 Parish Maps project. The

51、researchers showed how the Parish Maps project also demonstrated a passion for the environment and conservation. The researchers say that the Parish Maps project is a strong example of “positive parochialism”, and shows that thinking locally can influence a global mindset.“For a long time, it has be

56、二段“You might have heard of NIMBY which means “not in my back yard” and describes an individual or group opposed to a new addition to the neighborhood, typically a factory, roadway or power station.”（你可能听说过NIMBY这个词，意思是“不在我的后院”，它指的是一个人或一个团体反对在社区内新建新设施，通常是工厂、道路或发电站。）可知， NIMBY反对在附近建设一些项目。由此推知，反对在附近建机场能属

57、于NIMBY。故选D。17.推理判断题。根据文章第五段“For the study, the researchers reviewed documents from the 1987 Parish Maps project. The researchers showed how the Parish Maps project also demonstrated a passion for the environment and conservation. The researchers say that the Parish Maps project is a strong example o

58、f “positive parochialism” ,and shows that thinking locally can influence a global mindset.”（在这项研究中，研究人员回顾了1987年教区地图项目的文件。研究人员还展示了教区地图项目如何表现出对环境和保护的热情。研究人员表示，教区地图项目是“积极狭隘主义”的一个强有力的例子，表明本地思维可以影响全球思维。）可知，作者提到Parish Maps project是为了提供一个积极狭隘主义的例子。故选B。18.推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“For a long time, it has been generall

59、y agreed that if we want people to think about global affairs they need an international worldview-but this may not be the case,” said Patrick. “Given where we are now in terms of trying to encourage people to make changes to help the environment,4 positive parochialism offers something that has bee

60、n overlooked.”（帕特里克说:“长期以来，人们普遍认为，如果我们想让人们思考全球事务，他们需要一种国际世界观。但事实可能并非如此。”“考虑到我们现在在鼓励人们做出改变来帮助保护环境方面所做的努力，积极的狭隘主义提供了一些被忽视的东西。”）可推知，Patrick对“积极的狭隘主义”是持欣赏的态度的。故选A。19.主旨大意题。根据文章的主要内容，尤其第一段“The idea that having narrow local focus leaves little room for anything but a selfish mindset is a misconception, ac

61、cording to a new study that found that concern for local affairs could help with global environmental conservation.”（一项新的研究发现，关注地方事务有助于全球环境保护，认为狭隘的地方关注只会让人产生自私的心态，这是一种误解。）可知，文章讲述了一项新的研究发现，关注地方事务有助于全球环境保护，认为狭隘的地方关注只会让人产生自私的心态，是一种误解。故C项：Thinking locally, acting globally（立足本地，放眼全球）可以作为本文的最佳标题。故选C。6On t

71、ted to create an experience and a moment that would not only raise money, but also awareness to highlight all the amazing work thats being done at BCH”（不仅仅是捐款，我们想创造一种体验和时刻，不仅是为了筹集资金，也是为了让人们意识到BCH正在做的所有了不起的工作）和“Specifically, we wanted to give some of the BCH kids an opportunity to share their story a

72、nd their talents with the world.”（特别地，我们想给BCH的孩子们一个机会，与世界分享他们的故事和他们的才能。）可知，展示孩子的才能是必要的。故选D。21.词句猜测题。根据文章第五段Luna的话“Thinking about kids everywhere around the world wearing my shoe is amazing.”（想到世界各地的孩子都穿着我的鞋，真是太棒了。）可找到关键词amazing，表示“惊人的，了不起的”，可知，Luna觉得若是每个孩子都能穿上她设计的鞋子，是一件令她高兴惊喜的事。因此推断“It blows my mind

73、”表明Luna是极为高兴的。故选A。22.推理判断题。根据文章第二段的“continues to pursue her interests in art and fashion”（ 继续追求她在艺术和时尚方面的兴趣）、第三段的“I got to use my art and creativity for something new”（ 我开始用我的艺术和创造力去做一些新的事情）以及第四段的“share their story and their talents”（分享他们的故事和他们的天赋）可以看出Luna是有才华，有天赋的（talented/gifted），又根据文章第二段“Luna has

74、 had three open-heart operations and continues to pursue her interests in art and fashion.”（ Luna做过三次心脏手术，并继续追求她对艺术和时尚的兴趣。）以及最后一段“The advice I would give a kid or someone like me is never give up.”（ 我给孩子或像我这样的人的建议是永远不要放弃。）可以看出Luna是意志坚定的（determined）。故选A。23.主旨大意题。全文围绕“Luna是如何参与到这个活动的？”“这个活动是什么内容？”“活动的

75、目的是什么？”以及“活动有什么重要意义？”“Luna想通过这个活动传递什么？”来讲述。因此推断D项：Introduce a campaign with kid patients.（介绍一项针对儿童患者的活动）是文章的目的。故选D。7The Assassins Creed series has been about building immersive （沉浸式的）and accurate historical worlds.

77、ook or watching a documentary about what they are studying.Assassins Creed is not the only game series that can be educational either. What is important about the role of historical games is the level of choice. When watching a film, students are passive receivers of content. However, when playing a

78、 game students have an active role to play in history. A focus on choice and consequence is an important element of teaching and understanding history, so historical games can be a valuable teaching tool even if they arent completely historically accurate. They have the power to immerse students in

79、faraway worlds and allow them to think critically about cause and consequence, think about why historical events unfolded the way they did, and even think about possible alternative outcomes. All of these are critical for historical thinking processes. No longer do students need to rely only on read

101、mily all the time.【答案】28.C29.D30.A31.B【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章通过作者发现妹妹患上了“时间盲症”，向人们具体说明了这一种病理，并且针对这个病给出一些建议。28.细节理解题。根据文中“Im living in New York, 3,000 miles away from my twin and our parents in Southern California.

But it feels much longer”（我住在纽约，离我妹妹和在南加州的父母3000英里。我们每天视频聊天，但是自从圣诞节后我很久没见她本人了，我知道时间过了很久了，但是感觉时间会更久一些。）可知，妹妹离我很远，但是距离没有阻止我们，我们每天视频聊天，而且尽管只是有一段时间没见她本人，我就会感觉很久很久没见她了，由此可以看出作者很在乎离自己很远的妹妹，结合选项，故选C项。29.细节理解题。根据文中“they know when theyve been out for lunch too long, or when something h

103、asnt been in the oven for long enough.”（他们知道出去吃午饭太久了，或者烤箱里的东西时间不够长。）可知有这种“harder time”意识的人，他们对时间的流逝很敏感，即他们擅长记录时间的流逝，结合选项，故选D项。30.词句猜测题。根据文中“the school bus arriving, the line at the coffee shop, or weekend nights spent at restaurants with friends”（校车到达，咖啡店排队，或者周末晚上和朋友一起在餐厅度过。）可知这些事情是日常生活常出现的事情，而这些事情在

105、推理判断题。根据文中是了后一段内容“ Tuckman says it might be nice for more people to understand time blindness, if only to help normalize this feeling that clocks have stopped working. Trains and appointments are our context reminders, and so are other people. He says talking to them, even while physically apart, can be a way to keep time. Loved ones are good clocks”（塔克曼说，对更多的人来说，理解时间盲可能是件好事，只要能帮助人们正常化时钟停止工作的感觉就好了。火车和约会都是我们的背景提醒者，同时其他人也是。他说，跟他们说话，即使是身体上的分开，也可能是一种计时的方法。爱的人是很好的时钟。）可知，Tuckman建议有两点：一是让更多人去理解无时间辨别能力这种病，二是要跟他们说话，敞开心扉，爱的人是很好的时钟。故选B项。
