【题目】 Whenever I heard strangers singing out loud, whether it was in the supermarket or on the street, I used to think how annoying it was. That was until a few months ago.

Recently, my daughter Zoe started her second year of middle school with a new sense of awareness, asking me to fix the "little girl" pattern on her wheelchair seat. Not wanting her to stand out at school, I spent hours filling in pale yellow stars with a black marker, eager to erase whatever childish signs I could. Shortly after, Zoe got really sick and had to miss 20 days of school. This meant our days were filled with rushing between hospital appointments and meetings with the school, as we tried to make sure she didn't fall behind on her schoolwork.

I felt pulled back to a time when she was little and her sickness was a huge part of her life. Back then, it seemed like Zoe lived in hospitals, as she spent so much time in them. No matter how sick she got, however, she always had a positive attitude. But this was different: Zoe was no longer singing like she normally did. Zoe usually sings all the time, whether she's playing, riding in the car, or just doing her homework. There was no need for a radio in our house Zoe provided the music for us. Consumed (被折磨)with my motherly worries, it was more concerning to me than her sickness.

One day, however, I heard her beautiful voice as I was cooking dinner. I stopped what I was doing and just smiled. “Pure delight. ’’ I thought to myself. Her voice slowly grew stronger, and soon, both the car and the house were filled with her music once more. How had I not noticed her singing had completely stopped, weeks and weeks ago? Now, thankfully, she's back in school, smiling and singing, and I'm thankful for each and every song she sings.

These days, whenever I hear a stranger singing a song to themselves, I don’t get mad. Instead, I smile, as I know that by singing out loud, they're simply sharing their happiness with the world.

1When did the author feel bothered?

A.When hearing strangers singing.B.When her daughter started middle school.

C.When fixing stars on the seat.D.When her daughter became sensitive.

2Which of the following best describes Zoe?

A.Considerate and helpful.B.Competitive and hardworking.

C.Optimistic and strong-willed.D.Self-aware and modest.

3What does "it" in Paragraph 3 refer to?

A.Zoe's love for music.B.Zoe’s falling behind at school.

C.Zoe's silence during her sickness.D.Zoe's slow recovery from her sickness.

4What does singing mean to people, according to the author?

A.A way to get rid of stress.B.A way to express love to others.

C.A way to communicate with others.D.A way to share joy.

这是一篇记叙文。文章记叙了作者的女儿尽管病重但是仍然保持积极的态度,喜欢唱歌,但是某一次在病重女儿不再唱歌让作者担心。直到作者再一次听到女儿的歌声并为她唱的每一首歌而感激。

1细节理解题。根据第一段中Whenever I heard strangers singing out loud, whether it was in the supermarket or on the street, I used to think how annoying it was.(每当我听到陌生人大声唱歌时,不管是在超市还是在街上,我总是觉得这是多么烦人。)可知当听到陌生人唱歌时,作者感到烦恼。故选A

3词义猜测题。结合上文Zoe was no longer singing like she normally did. Zoe usually sings all the time, whether she's playing, riding in the car, or just doing her homework. There was no need for a radio in our house; Zoe provided the music for us. Zoe不再像往常那样唱歌了。Zoe经常唱歌,无论她是在玩,在车里,还是只是在做作业。我们家里不需要收音机; Zoe为我们提供了音乐。可知Zoe在生病期间不再像往常一样唱歌,这让作者感到担忧。故“it”指的是Zoe在生病期间的沉默。故选C

4细节理解题。根据最后一段中Instead, I smile, as I know that by singing out loud, they're simply sharing their happiness with the world.(相反,我微笑着,因为我知道,通过大声唱歌,他们只是在与世界分享他们的快乐。)可知作者认为唱歌是一种与人分享快乐的方式。故选D

词义猜测题是高考阅读理解中常考题型之一,可以大致分为

定义猜词,可以根据定义信息和举例猜测词义。如文中常用refer tobe calledthats to saysuch as等。

逻辑猜词可以根据同义词、反义词、因果关系词等猜测词义,例如,similarly,the same as,but,however,while,on the other hand,since ,because等,所猜词与这些提示词前/后面部分的含义一样、相反或是前因后果。

语法猜词,可以根据构词法,再结合上下文进行猜词。

语境猜词,猜测词义离不开上下文的语境,通过上下文提供的情景和线索进行合理的分析,同时还要关注其所在的整段及整篇文章。

指代猜词即找出人称代词、指示代词、关系代词或关系副词等所指代的内容,做题时要注意指代词的位置,以便于判断,然后用所找的指代内容替换划线代词,核实其逻辑、意义、位置等是否一致,最后比较所找部分与选项,确定意思最接近的选项。

如第三小题,结合上文Zoe was no longer singing like she normally did. Zoe usually sings all the time, whether she's playing, riding in the car, or just doing her homework. There was no need for a radio in our house; Zoe provided the music for us. Zoe不再像往常那样唱歌了。Zoe经常唱歌,无论她是在玩,在车里,还是只是在做作业。我们家里不需要收音机; Zoe为我们提供了音乐。可知Zoe在生病期间不再像往常一样唱歌,这让作者感到担忧。故“it”指的是Zoe在生病期间的沉默。故选C

【题目】Airplane emissions are a big problem for the climate—and steadily rising. Experts predict that aircraft emissions will triple(增三倍)by 2050 as demand for flights increases. To prevent this terrible situation, a team of scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, along with government and industry partners, is attempting to completely redesign airplanes.

Their idea, called the “double-bubble” D8, could significantly reduce plane’s carbon footprint and improve fuel efficiency if confirmed in full-scale tests. It involves major changes to the standard 180-passenger Being 737 and Airbus A320 aircraft.

The most significant change, though, is where the engines are fixed. Air slows down as it flows over the top of a traditional plane, thus creating drag and making the craft less efficient. But the D8 design moves the jet’s engines from their usual spot underneath the wings to the top of the plane’s body, by the tail—where they suck in and speed up the slow layer of air, greatly reducing drag.

These changes would make the aircraft use 37 percent less fuel than a typical passenger jet. The experts have already built and tested an 11th-scale model of the aircraft in a NASA wind tunnel. Combining the new design with future technological advances could further reduce fuel use and finally add up to 66 percent in fuel savings in two decades.

Other experts note that the D8’s develops must still overcome economic difficulties while ensuring that the engines are strong enough to handle the new design. Still, “it’s a very remarkable idea and design,” says Brian J. German, an aerospace engineer at the Georgia Institute of Technology, who was not involved in the work. The experts are now exploring the development of a half-scale model plane. If the effort succeeds, travelers may fly in one of these jets as soon as possible.

1Why are airplane emissions steadily rising?

A. Because of the special climate. B. Because of designing new airplanes.

C. Because of the increasing flights. D. Because of the development of industry.

2What are the most obvious changes of the new airplanes?

A. Their engine shape. B. Their engine weight.

C. Their engine position. D. Their engine power.

3How do the experts reduce pollution from planes?

A. Using 11th-scale models. B. Saving energy.

C. Inventing stronger engines. D. Improving typical passenger jets.

4How is the new plane progressing?

A. It meets with economic difficulty. B. It is at the laboratory stage.

C. It may fly as soon as possible. D. It is testing with its new engine.
