without legs,but she never let it stop her.‎ Wrapped in a loop(圈)of red silk hung from the ceiling,Jennifer Bricker climbs and twists to the music.Her head hangs down and her strong arms let go as she balances on her back,high above the ground — a move that is all the more daring because she has no legs.‎ Jennifer was a few months old when she was adopted by Sharon and Gerald Bricker.She had big brown eyes,a bright smile,and huge amounts of energy.When a doctor advised her adoptive parents to carry her around in a kind of bucket(桶),they refused.‎ Jennifer soon learned to walk — and run — on her hands and bottom,and grew up fearlessly climbing trees and bouncing on the trampoline(蹦床)with her three older brothers.“My parents didn’t treat me differently so I didn’t grasp the concept that I was different.I knew I didn’t have legs but that wasn’t stopping me from doing the things I wanted to do.”‎ At the age of three she was fitted with artificial legs,but she never really took to them — she moved more freely without them.‎ In 1996 the Olympic Games took place in Atlanta.Jennifer loved to watch the women’s gymnastics team,and especially adored the 14-year-old Dominique Moceanu who competed for the US.When Moceanu and the women’s team won the gold,Jennifer decided she was going to be a gymnast,too.She took up power tumbling,which involves performing floor exercises down a runway.But Jennifer did not want any allowances to be made for her disability.‎ At the age of 10 she took part in the Junior Olympics and by age 11 she was the tumbling champion for the state of Illinois.‎ Jennifer now travels the world as an inspirational speaker and acts as an aerial performer.‎ ‎【解题导语】本文是一篇人物记叙文。Jennifer Bricker天生无腿,但在自己的努力下,她参加了青少年奥运会,并成为世界著名的励志演讲家和空中表演演员。‎ ‎4.What do we know about Jennifer Bricker?‎ A.She felt embarrassed without legs.‎ B.She was brought up as a normal child.‎ C.She was carried in a bucket as a baby.‎ D.She lost her legs when she was adopted.‎ 答案B 解析细节理解题。根据第四段中的“My parents didn’t treat me differently so I didn’t grasp the concept that I was different.”可知,Jennifer的父母对待她和对待其他孩子没有什么不同,她也没有觉得她和其他孩子有什么差异;结合第三段的第三句“When a doctor advised her adoptive parents to carry her around in a kind of bucket,they refused.”可知,她的父母拒绝了医生的建议。据此可知,她是像正常的孩子那样被带大的,故B项正确。‎ ‎5.Why did Jennifer determine to be a gymnast?‎ A.She knew that she was different from others.‎ B.She wanted to make allowances for her disability.‎ C.She was eager to participate in the Junior Olympics.‎ D.She was greatly influenced by Dominique Moceanu.‎ 答案D 解析细节理解题。根据第六段中的“Jennifer loved to watch the women’s gymnastics team,and especially adored the 14-year-old Dominique Moceanu who competed for the US.When Moceanu and the women’s team won the gold,Jennifer decided she was going to be a gymnast,too.”可知,Jennifer喜欢看女子体操队的表演,尤其喜爱为美国而战的14岁运动员Dominique Moceanu;在Dominique Moceanu和女子体操队获得金牌后,她决定也从事体操事业,故D项正确。‎ ‎6.Which of the following can best describe Jennifer Bricker?‎ A.Self-respecting. B.Cautious.‎ C.Sensitive. D.Clever.‎ 答案A 解析推理判断题。通读全文可知,Jennifer Bricker在几个月大的时候被领养,虽然天生无腿,但是她仍和其他正常孩子一样成长。在观看了奥运会的体操表演后,她决定做一名体操运动员,并获得成功。据此可以判断,她是一个自强自爱的人,故A项正确。‎ ‎7.What is the passage mainly about?‎ A.The sufferings of a gymnast.‎ B.The memory of an aerial performer.‎ C.The experiences of an adoptive family.‎ D.The growing process of a disabled person.‎ 答案D 解析主旨大意题。通读全文可知,本文主要介绍了Jennifer Bricker天生无腿但后来在自己的努力下参加了青少年奥运会,并成为世界著名的励志演讲家和空中表演演员的故事。据此可知,本文介绍了一位残疾人的成长之路,故D项正确。‎ C 体裁:说明文　　词数:317　　用时:7分钟 ‎(2017山东烟台一模)‎ Grandparents who help out occasionally with childcare in their community tend to live longer ‎ than seniors who do not care for other people,according to a study from Berlin,Germany.‎ ‎“Having no contact with grandchildren at all can negatively impact grandparents’ health.This link could be deeply rooted in our evolutionary past when help with childcare was important for the survival of the human species,” said Sonja Hilbrand,one of the researchers.‎ The findings are drawn from data on more than 500 people over age 70.Overall,after accounting for grandparents’ age and general state of health,the risk of dying over a 20-year period was one-third lower for grandparents who cared for their grandchildren,compared with grandparents who provided no childcare.‎ Caregiving was associated with a longer life even when the care receiver wasn’t a relative.Half of all childless seniors who provided support to friends or neighbors lived for seven years after the study began,while non-helpers lived for four years on average.‎ ‎“Caregiving may give caregivers a purpose of life because they may feel useful for others and society.Caregiving may be thought also as an activity that keeps caregivers physically and mentally active,” said Professor Bruno Arpino.‎ Arpino noted,however,that caregiving is not the only activity that can improve health and that too many caring responsibilities can take away from other beneficial activities like working,being in social clubs,or volunteering.“Children should take into account their parents’ needs,willingness,and desires and agree with them on the timing and amount of childcare,” he suggested. ‎ ‎“It is very important that every individual decides for himself/herself,what proper amounts of help means,” Hilbrand said,adding,“As long as you do not feel stressed about the intensity(强度)of help you provide,you may be doing something good for others as well as for yourself.”‎ ‎【解题导语】本文是说明文。文章通过研究发现,老人走出家门帮助看护社区中的小孩有助于延年益寿;文章同时指出,看护孩子不是延年益寿的唯一活动,老人看护小孩的工作强度要适当,要因人而异。‎ ‎8.What is the caregiving study based on?‎ A.Human evolutionary history. ‎ B.Demand modern society.‎ C.Social contact between relatives. ‎ D.Data on many elderly people.‎ 答案D 解析细节理解题。根据第三段第一句 “The findings are drawn from data on more than 500 people over age 70.”可知,老人看护小孩有助于延年益寿这一发现是基于对500多名70岁以上老人的研究得出的,故D项正确。‎ ‎9.In Arpino’s opinion,childcare　　　. ‎ A.is sure to keep old people away from illnesses ‎ B.allows old people to live a more meaningful life C.creates more job opportunities for old people ‎ D.makes social activities inaccessible to old people 答案B 解析细节理解题。根据第五段 “Caregiving may give caregivers a purpose of life because they may feel useful...keeps caregivers physically and mentally active...”得知,Arpino教授认为,看护孩子可以保持老人身心活跃,使得老人感到自己对他人和社会有价值,也就是老人生活得更有意义,故选B项。‎ ‎10.What does the underlined part “take into account” in Paragraph 6 probably mean?‎ A.Limit. B.Ignore.‎ C.Favor. D.Consider.‎ 答案D 解析词义猜测题。从文章倒数第二段可知,看护小孩不是延年益寿的唯一活动,老人还应该参加其他有意义的活动;而且,还要考虑到孩子父母的需要和愿望,故选D项。‎ ‎11.What does the last paragraph tell us?‎ A.Grandparents can do anything in their own interests.‎ B.Grandparents should share more social responsibilities.‎ C.Proper amounts of childcare do good to grandparents.‎ D.Caregiving guarantees every grandparent a longer life.‎ 答案C 解析段落大意题。在文章最后一段,Hilbrand指出“老人帮助看小孩的合适工作量非常重要,只要不感到有压力,这样对别人和对老人本人都有好处”,故选C项。‎ D 体裁:说明文　　词数:232　　用时:7分钟 Fans of the movie Finding Nemo may remember the terrifying fish that scares Dory and Marlin at the bottom of a trench.‎ But in reality this “monster”,a black seadevil,is only about 9 cm long,which would make it about a third of the size of Dory and potentially smaller than Marlin or Nemo.‎ While this inaccuracy may seem harmless,it could cause problems for future conservation efforts,as people are more likely to support conservation of adorable rather than scary-looking animals.‎ The black seadevil is just one of the mysterious“monsters”.From 2000—2010,scientists described about 1,200 new species in the Census of Marine Life.While this figure may seem astonishing,a further 5,000 individual dead creatures are in specimen(标本)jars,waiting to be described.‎ Specimens must be methodically collected,identified,and then the identity of new deep-water species must be confirmed.‎ If we call unusual deep-sea animals monsters,then we may harm their conservation as people are unlikely to be connected with them or care about saving them.‎ On the other hand,their rarity clearly makes them popular on social media sites.For other species,this has already resulted in increases in illegal trading for unusual pets.Deep-sea species may potentially become illegally obtained specimens or food.Humans may end up eating these animals of the deep sea to extinction before their species are even known to science.‎ Every habitat on earth is interconnected,and whatever we as humans do has an influence on marine ecosystems.In reality,about 80% of our oxygen is produced by microorganisms(微生物)in the oceans.This makes our oceans both the lungs and lifeblood of our planet and we must all try harder to save them.‎ ‎【解题导语】本文主要从电影里对深海物种的不准确认识,谈到了保护深海物种的重要性。‎ ‎12.What can we know about the black seadevil in reality?‎ A.People benefit greatly from the oxygen produced by it.‎ B.Its body size is a big threat to fish like Dory and Nemo.‎ C.Its scary appearance will cause problems for conservation.‎ D.People didn’t know much about it when filming Finding Nemo.‎ 答案D 解析推理判断题。根据第一段中的“the terrifying fish that scares Dory and Marlin”并结合第二段的整体内容可知,拍摄这部电影时,人们对这种物种了解很少,故选D项。 ‎ ‎13.What does the author think of the progress of describing new species?‎ A.Acceptable. B.Surprising.‎ C.Unsatisfying. D.Hopeless.‎ 答案C 解析推理判断题。根据第四段的最后一句“While this figure may seem astonishing,a further 5,000 individual dead creatures are in specimen jars,waiting to be described.”可推知,作者认为科学家对海洋新物种的研究不能令人满意,故选C项。‎ ‎14.What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 7 probably refer to?‎ A.Their popularity on social media sites. ‎ B.Their rarity among sea creatures.‎ C.Their conservation being harmed. ‎ D.Their importance being ignored.‎ 答案A 解析词义猜测题。根据倒数第二段的第一句“On the other hand,their rarity clearly makes them popular on social media sites.”可推知,此处的this指代上文稀有物种在社交媒体网站上受青睐的状况,故选A项。‎ ‎15.What can we infer about those unusual sea animals?‎ A.They are the lungs and lifeblood of our planet.‎ B.Confirming their identity is very urgent for protection.‎ C.Most of them are becoming illegally obtained specimens.‎ D.Adorable ones are more likely to be posted on social media sites.‎ 答案B 解析推理判断题。根据倒数第三段可推知,科学地认知稀有物种对于这些物种的保护来说很紧迫,故选B项。‎ 第二节 体裁:说明文　　词数:224　　用时:7分钟 Why is volunteering important?‎ When it comes to service work,it is important to realize that the actual goal should be getting the most out of your voluntary work.　16　 ‎ Gaining new/social experiences Volunteering allows students to get involved with new things and develop social and academic skills that couldn’t be learned in a classroom environment.　17　 ‎ Giving and helping others Volunteers create better environments for others;they create healthier communities and they brighten lives.Jill,a senior student,has been a volunteer in her community for more than three years.　18　“They always tell me how great we sound and how they wish they had taken time to learn an instrument in their youth.” ‎ Creating connections with people ‎　19　Not only does the voluntary work you do show who you are as a person,but it reflects ‎ many positive qualities that possibly employers and admission officers want to see.Volunteering allows you to meet a wide variety of people from all walks of life. ‎ ‎　20　 ‎ Volunteering isn’t one of the most attractive jobs,but it is one of the most beneficial and uplifting(令人振奋的).It’s taking some time out of your day and helping others.Voluntary work makes us feel good.It builds self-confidence and lifts up the spirits.‎ A.Building career choices B.Developing a sense of achievement C.Volunteering means a lot more.‎ D.Building relationships with people is very important.‎ E.Volunteering is an excellent way to improve your independence.‎ F.She volunteers by performing in concerts for senior citizens.‎ G.Volunteering allows you to experience different environments and situations.‎ 答案与解析 ‎【解题导语】本文主要介绍了做志愿工作的意义。‎ ‎16.C　根据上文的“When it comes to service work,it is important to realize that the actual goal should be getting the most out of your voluntary work.”并结合文章的标题可推知,此处开始导入志愿工作的意义,起承上启下的作用,所以选C项。‎ ‎17.G　根据本段标题“Gaining new/social experiences”可推知,志愿工作会让志愿者有不同的体验,所以选G项。‎ ‎18.F　根据下文的“They always tell me how great we sound and how they wish they had taken time to learn an instrument in their youth.”可推知,志愿者Jill做的志愿工作应该是弹某种乐器,F项“她志愿在音乐会上给老年人演奏”最合文意。‎ ‎19.D　根据本段的标题“Creating connections with people”可推知,志愿工作对增强人际关系是很重要的,所以选D项。‎ ‎20.B　空处为本段小标题,根据下文的“Voluntary work makes us feel good.It builds self-confidence and lifts up the spirits.”可推知,志愿工作让人感觉良好,增强自信心,令人振奋,拥有成就感,所以选B项。‎
