　　Ⅲ.閱讀理解

　　(2024·蚌埠市5月高三模擬)It had been three months since Ms Miller had started teaching. She was gradually being able to understand all her students, except one, Bob. Bob was the only boy who came to school dressed untidily and sat in the class completely lost in his own world. His performance had been deteriorating steadily with every single day.

　　Ms Miller searched through the progress reports of Bob and was shocked to see Bob used to be the topper in his class. Bob's performance began to slowly decline when his mother fell ill.

　　He was doing badly in each and every subject when his mother died leaving him alone with his father, who was a businessman and had to travel always. Apart from his performance worsening gradually, Bob's nature too began to change. He had forgotten to laugh and showed no interest in any activity. All his friends had abandoned him.

　　One day, Bob was asked to stay back. Ms Miller asked him if he had any problem understanding his lessons. Gradually she began to give him a comfort zone so that he could talk and share.

　　After three weeks, she found Bob gradually improving. He was being able to answer the questions he previously failed. Every day after all the students went away, Ms Miller gave personal attention to Bob and began to spend time with him. Bob improved a lot over the next semester, showing definite signs of progress in his performance.

　　On a Friday, Bob came up to Ms Miller, handed her a box and requested her to open the box on Sunday. Sunday morning, curious, she opened it and saw a bottle of perfume, half filled. Together with it was a small letter, saying that this bottle of perfume used to be his mother's and he wished Ms Miller to wear it so that every time she was around, he could feel his Mom near him. He thanked her for everything. Ms Miller took the bottle of perfume in her hand and saw a new tag attached to it; it said “Happy Mother's Day！”

　　Ms Miller suddenly realized that it was not she who had made a difference to Bob's life but it was Bob who made her realize what true humanity is!

　　1．According to the text, Bob ________.

　　A．wore neat clothes all the time

　　B．was taller than any other one in his class

　　3．The bottle of perfume given to Ms Miller ________.

　　C．Children don't have to solve problems by themselves.

　　D．One should have sympathy for another's suffering and offer help.

　　答

　　案

　　Ⅰ.1.選B　句意：“我擔心老板對我的工作不滿意。”“不要緊張。沒有人說你的工作沒干好。”It doesn't matter.“沒關系”，通常是對方道歉時的應答用語。Take it easy！“放松；不要緊張”，通常用于安慰別人。Forget it！“算了吧”，常用于否決別人的建議。Go ahead.“開始吧”，常用于同意某人的建議或請求。

　　2．選B　句意：因為通向機場的道路正在重建中，我們最好早點出發以避免交通堵塞。set off意為“出發”，符合題意。pay off意為“還清；成功”；put off意為“推遲”；take off意為“起飛；脫下”。故選B。

　　3．選B　句意：有人提醒經理不要錯過15：20的航班，他匆忙出發去了機場。句子主語the manager與remind為邏輯上的被動關系，故排除A、C、D三項，因為這三項表主動，只有B項表被動。非謂語動詞作狀語，其邏輯主語要和句子主語保持一致。

　　4．選C　由“決不可以讓其他任何人知道”可知選C，mustn't表示“不允許；不可以”，語氣強烈。

　　5．選D　句意：“萬一我們失敗了，她會怎樣呢？”“如果結果很糟糕的話，她會把責任推到我們身上。”turn out“結果(是)；原來(是)”，符合句意。turn up“開大；出現”；turn down“關小；拒絕”；turn off“關掉”。

　　6.選B　belief“信任；信心；信仰”；custom“習慣；風俗”；strength“強項；長處；力量”；principle“法則；原則；原理”。根據句意選B。

　　7．選A　句意：新任總統是否能減輕人們對越來越多的人將會失業的恐慌還有待觀察。根據句意并分析句子成分可知，it為形式主語，第一空引導的主語從句是句子的真正主語，根據句意可知，應選whether；第二空引導的從句作the fear的同位語，且空處在同位語從句中不充當成分，故選that。

　　8．選D　award“授予；判定”；admire“贊美；欽佩；羨慕”；remind“提醒；使想起”；consult“咨詢；請教；商量”。根據句意選D。

　　9．選C　句意：“昨天我們在公園里欣賞了花并且玩得很愉快。”“太好了。不過遺憾的是我沒有加入你們。”have fun意為“玩得高興”；It's a great pity that ...意為“……很可惜”。

　　10．選C　句意：明年將要實施的大樓工程要想按時完成并不容易。第一空為不定式的被動式作定語表示被動、將來；第二空為不定式作狀語，用主動表示被動。

　　11．選C　句意：我們政府同空氣污染作斗爭的計劃將以收集信息和控制PM2.5為重點。express“表達”；represent“代表”；gather“收集”；acknowledge“承認；感謝”。根據句意可知，應選C項。

　　12．選B　根據句意可知，修建特殊建筑物的目的應該是紀念此次大地震，故使用in memory of “紀念”。in place of “代替”； in search of “尋找”； in need of “需要”。

　　13．選A　energetic“充滿活力的；精力充沛的；積極的”；confident“自信的；確信的”；generous“慷慨的；大方的”；reliable“可信賴的；可靠的”。根據句意選A。

　　14．選D　句意：這真不公平。上個月當我在做服務員的時候，我的朋友們正躺在沙灘上。表示“與此同時”用while，引導時間狀語從句。

　　15．選D　句意：莫言的作品為他贏得了大量的國內外讀者。根據句意可知應選gain，意思是“獲得；贏得”。deserve“值得”；expand“擴大；擴展”；admit“承認”。

　　.1.選D　“我”覺得只有當“我”完成(accomplished)了某些事情后，最終在一生中“我”才是幸福的。

　　2．選B　大多數時候“我”感覺(自己)像一只烏龜，相信只要慢慢的穩穩的(steady)，就會贏得比賽。

　　3．選A　其他時間，“我”又像一只兔子一樣，嘗試不同的旁道。根據語境可知，act“做事，行動”正確。

　　4．選C　“我”以一種危險的速度(speed)前進，希望能更快一點兒到達那面旗幟。

　　5．選B　漸漸地(Gradually)，“我”開始發現無論“我”跑多遠，那面旗幟從不曾更近一點兒。

　　6．選C　參見上題解析。closer“更近一點兒”，符合語境。

　　7．選D　最后，“我”決定坐下(sit down)來休息一下。

　　8．選A　就在那時，“我”看到幸福(happiness)就在“我”身邊。根據文章第一句中的“happiness”可知，A項正確。

　　9．選D　當“我”努力工作(worked)來養家糊口時，當“我”和孩子們一起玩耍，聽到他們的笑聲(laughter)時，甚至當“我”生病(sick)妻子在身邊照顧“我”時，幸福一直都在“我”身邊。
