(2020·天津高三调研)Life on the street is a constant struggle for homeless people. In times of extreme weather conditions, that struggle becomes even more difficult. Recently, homeless people across Chicago faced freezing to death if they couldn’t find shelter for the night.
Thankfully, one local woman refused to let that happen. On January 30, 2018, 34yearold Candice Payne, a local managing broker, was lucky enough to have shelter from the dangerous conditions.
“It was -20 ℃, and I knew they were going to be sleeping on ice and I had to do something,” said Payne. Payne started brainstorming different ways she could possibly help. Finally, she decided to see if there were any rooms available at local inns and hotels that she could get to help those stuck on the street.
For Payne, her mission was personal. According to Payne, her husband, Carlos Callahan, had lived on the street at one point in his life. Based on his experiences, Payne knew that the homeless people still out on the street desperately needed help and that if she didn’t step up to help, no one likely would.
However, when Payne explained what she was trying to do, many of the local hotels
21
refused to allow her to pay for the rooms as they didn’t want homeless people to stay in their rooms. “No one wanted them, but one hotel, the Amber Inn, was nice enough to allow me to buy the rooms,” said Payne.
Payne’s selfless act made news across the country. However, she insisted she had never done it for attention. “I am a regular person,” said Payne, who spent thousands of dollars of her own money to help complete strangers. “It all sounded like a rich person did this, but I’m just a little black girl from the South Side.”
【解题导语】 本文主要讲述了一位普通的芝加哥女士受到她丈夫经历的触动,为防止无家可归者在大街上被冻死,决定为他们订旅馆的房间。她的无私善举传遍全国。
1.What does the underlined word “that” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A.Locals living on the street.
B.The homeless freezing to death.
C.The extreme weather.
D.The shelter for the homeless.
B 解析:代词指代题。根据第一段最后一句“Recently, homeless people across Chicago faced freezing to death if they couldn’t find shelter for the night.”可知,最近芝加哥各地的无家可归者如果找不到过夜的地方,就会被冻死。结合画线词所在句可知,幸好,一位当地的女士拒绝让此发生。据此可推知,画线词that指代“The homeless freezing to death”。
2.How did Candice Payne help the homeless people?
A.By drawing public attention.
B.By giving them money directly.
C.By taking them to her own house.
D.By buying hotel rooms for them.
D 解析:细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句“Finally, she decided to see if there were any rooms available at local inns and hotels that she could get to help those stuck on the street.”可知,Candice Payne最终决定为这些无家可归者订旅馆的房间以免他们被冻死,故D项正确。
3.What may contribute to Payne’s nice act?
A.Her husband’s past experiences.
B.The requests from the homeless.
C.Her desire to become famous.
D.The coldness of local hotels.
A 解析:细节理解题。根据第四段第二、三句“According to Payne, her husband,
21
Carlos Callahan, had lived on the street at one point in his life. Based on his experiences, Payne knew that the homeless people still out on the street desperately needed help and that if she didn’t step up to help, no one likely would.”可知,由于受到她的丈夫无家可归的经历的触动,她决定帮助这些无家可归的人,故A项正确。
4.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A.A Black Fighter Changes the World
B.A Woman’s Curiosity Brings a Reward
C.A Regular Woman Makes a Difference
D.A Couple’s Brave Act Moves the Country
C 解析:标题归纳题。根据第二段第一句“Thankfully, one local woman refused to let that happen.”和最后一段最后两句并结合全文其他内容可知,本文主要讲述了一位普通的芝加哥女士受到她丈夫经历的触动,为防止无家可归者在大街上被冻死,决定为他们订旅馆的房间;她的无私善举传遍全国。故C项“一位普通女士的影响”最适合作本文的标题。

(2020·大连一模)
It is generally acknowledged that young people from poorer socioeconomic backgrounds tend to do less well in the education system. In an attempt to help the children of poor families, a nationwide program called “Head Start” was started in the US in 1965. A lot of money was poured into it. It took children into preschool institutions at the age of three and was supposed to help them succeed in school. But the results have been disappointing, because the program began too late. Many children who entered it at three were already behind their peers in language and intelligence and the parents were not involved in the process. At the end of each day, “Head Start” children returned to the same disadvantaged home environment.
To improve the results, another program was started in Missouri that concentrated on parents as the child’s first teachers. This program was based on research showing that working with the family is the most effective way of helping children get the best possible start in life. The fouryear study included 380 families who were about to have their first child and represented different socioeconomic statuses, ages and family structures. The program involved trained
21
educators visiting and working with the parent or parents and the child. The program also gave the parents some guidance, and useful skills on child development.
At three, the children involved in the “Missouri” program were evaluated with the children selected from the same socioeconomic backgrounds and family situations. The results were obvious. The children in the program were more advanced in language development, problem solving and other intellectual skills than their peers. They performed equally well regardless of socioeconomic backgrounds or family structures. The one factor that was found to affect the child’s development was the poor quality of parentchild interaction. That interaction was not necessarily bad in poorer families.
The “Missouri” program compares quite distinctly with the “Head Start” program. Without a similar focus on parent education and on the vital importance of the first three years, some evidence indicates that it will not be enough to overcome educational unfairness.

【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文。今年世界睡眠日关注的是女性的睡眠问题。调查发现,许多女性睡眠不足,年轻人也是如此。文章介绍了导致睡眠不足的原因及其解决方法。
1.reported 解析:考查动词的时态。根据该句中的“recently”,再结合上文可知,上述结果是北京的一家报纸报道过的,表示已经发生过的事情,故用一般过去时。
2.an 解析:考查不定冠词。根据语境可知,该处泛指“一个国际组织”,且international的发音以元音音素开头,故填不定冠词an。
3.aged 解析:考查非谓语动词。分析该句结构可知,空处作名词“women”的后置定语,应用age的过去分词形式aged,表示“年龄介于30到60岁之间的女性”。
4.on 解析:考查固定搭配。on average为固定搭配,意为“平均”。句意:在该报纸中一项由一个国际组织进行的研究表明,30到60岁的女性平均每天睡6小时41分钟。
5.cities 解析:考查名词单复数。根据该句中的“like Beijing and Shanghai”可知,该处指“像北京、上海那样的城市”,为复数意义,故填cities。
6.pressure 解析:考查名词。根据该句中“and competition”,再结合空前的形容词“heavy”可知,该形容词修饰两个并列的名词,故填press的名词形式pressure,表示“压力”。
7.sleeping 解析:考查形容词。空处修饰后面的名词habits,表示“睡眠习惯”,故填形容词sleeping。
8.which 解析:考查关系词。分析该句结构可知,该句为非限制性定语从句,空处在从句中作主语,指代前面的“unhappiness, anxiety and depression”,故填关系代词which引导该定语从句。
21
9.especially 解析:考查副词。空处修饰短语“in women”,故用副词形式。
10.daily 解析:考查形容词。空处修饰后面的名词“routine”,表示“日常生活”,故填day的形容词形式daily。
