dingFriendship【答案】4.C5.D6.C7.A【解析】本文为记叙文。本文记叙了一个感人的故事。作者和妹妹在十几岁时失去了联系,各自去了不同的城市,过着不同的生活。在街上,妹妹凭借姐姐的声音认出了多年不见的姐姐,从此再也
没有分开过。4.细节理解题。第一段“Icomefromabrokenfamily.Afterwegrewup,mysisterandIcouldgoyearswithoutspeaking.”我来自一个破碎的家庭。
我们长大后,我和妹妹多年没说话了,故A和B错误。第二段“MysisterJeanneandIwerebornonly14monthsapart,butbythetimewewereteenagerswehadl
osttouch.Byage19,IhadmovedawayfromourhomeinWisconsintoliveonmyfather’shorsefarminVirginia.Jeannegotmarriedat18,movedtoChicago,”我和妹妹珍妮出
生时只相差14个月,但当我们十几岁的时候,我们失去了联系。到了19岁,我离开了在Wisconsin的家,住在我父亲在弗吉尼亚州的马场里。Jeanne18岁结婚,搬到Chicago。由此可知,Cheryl在Wisconsin长大的,19岁才离开。而Jeanne搬到Chicago,故C正确,D是错
误的。因此本题选C。5.细节理解题。第五段“Ilateraskedhowshe’dknownitwasme—sheneversawme!Shesaiditwasmylaugh.”后来我问,她从没见过我,是如何知道是我!她说是我的笑。由此可知D符合题意,故选D。6.词句猜
测题。划线词的上一句“Butourmeetingbychancewasn’tjustasign.Iseeitasmoreofalesson,aremindernottolosetouchwithlovedones…..”但我们的偶遇并不只是一个迹象。我认为这更像是一个教训,提醒人
们不要与所爱的人失去联系。…可知,“Afteroursister-to-sistermiracle(奇迹)Idon’tplantoletthathappenagain.”此句是指在我们姐妹之间的(分开又相遇)的奇迹之后,我不会让这种“分离”的事再发生了。由此可推断出划线的“that”是指姐妹
间的分开。分析选项A.Meeting见面;B.Thetrip旅游;C.Separation分离;D.Themiracle.奇迹。可知C符合题意,故选C。7.主旨大意题。文章主要叙述了一对从小分离的姐妹在
分开多年后,妹妹凭着姐姐在街上的笑声认出了多年不见的姐姐。全文紧扣一个长久失散的姐妹。故选A。2.(2020届广东省广州市普通高中毕业班综合测试)Adrianaputdowntheknife,steppedbackandlookedatherfi

是一篇记叙文。Adriana想展出自己的作品,但是找不到合适的地方。最后她无意中遇到一位咖啡店店主,店主同意在她的店里展出Adriana的作品。4.推理判断题。根据第一段中的“…Notthatherclassmateswouldagree.Theirreacti
ontoherabstractartwasalways“What’sthatsupposedtobe?”or“Artistsusebrushestopaint,notknives,stringandcloth.”Still,shedidn’tcare.Adrianapainte
dtopleaseherself,notothers”可知,Adriana的同学们不能理解她的抽象艺术。但是,Adriana并不在乎。Adriana画画是为了取悦自己,而不是为了取悦别人。由此推知,她有自己
的独立的思想,并不在乎别人的看法。故选A。5.推理判断题。根据第二段中的“HelovedAdriana’spaintingsandhadrepeatedlybeggedhertoshowthempubl
icly”可知,Mr.Marcus喜欢Adriana的画作,曾多次请求她公开展示。因此,他对于Adriana的作品持肯定的态度。故选B。6.细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Adrianaplannedtopayforheruniversitybooks,artsu
ppliesandaccommodationherself.So,thistime,whenMr.Marcusmadethesuggestion,Adrianaagreed”可知,Adriana计划自己支付她的大学书籍,艺术用品和住宿的费用。所以,这一次,当Mr.Marcus提出建
议时,Adriana同意了。故选D。7.推理判断题。根据最后两段可知,Adriana和Mr.Marcus在多方寻找无果的情况下,在一家咖啡店谈及此事时,店主听到了他们的交谈,然后店主让他们把作品拿过来看看。最后,店主同意Adrian将作品在她的店内展出。这一切都是一种巧合。由此可知,A
driana是由于好运才找到展出作品的地方的。故选D。3.(2020届广东省深圳市高三第一次调研)Mymotheralwayssaid,“Youyoungmenshouldexploreyourowncountrybefore

.C5.D6.B7.D【解析】本文是记叙文。文章讲述了作者的旅行经历,作者的心态从盼望快速到达目的地转变为关注旅途中的快乐。4.细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Butluckilyforme,ViaRailCanad
aofferedyouthsbetweentheagesof18and25thechancetoridethetrainacrossCanadaforthemonthofJulyin2017.Ijumpedattheopportunityandsecur
edaninexpensiveticket.”可知,对作者来说幸运的是,ViaRailCanada公司为18至25岁之间的年轻人提供了在2017年7月乘火车穿越加拿大的机会。作者抓住这个机会并获得了一张便宜的火车票。因
此ViaRailCanada公司为青少年提供的限时的火车票使作者的火车之旅成为了可能。故选C。5.细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Afterjustanhouronthetrain,desperationalreadycameonme.Thethoughtofthreefu
lldaysonthosetracksbrokemyspirits.”可知,在火车上仅一个小时之后,作者就已经感到绝望了。一想到要在火车上呆整整三天让作者很沮丧。即作者在火车上呆了一个小时后,其旅行热情开始下降。故选D。6.推理判断题。根据第二
段中的“AsIgazedouttowardsLakeSuperior’sglisteningwaves,IdecidedifIwastobestuckinhere,Iwouldneedtoenjoymytime.”和第三段中
的“Thosethreedaysturnedintoasummercamponrails.Realfriendshipswiththecrewwerebornwithinthattrain.”可知,当作者凝视苏必利尔湖畔闪闪发光的海浪时,作
者决定如果要呆在这里,我需要享受我的时间。那三天变成了铁轨上的夏令营。与乘务员的真正友谊源于那列火车。由此可知,作者想办法度过在火车上的时间,使自己充满快乐。因此“适应性强”最能恰当地描述作者。故选B。7.细节
理解题。根据最后一段中的“I’velearnedthatthejourneycanbemoreenjoyablethanthedestination.”可知,作者明白了关注旅途中的快乐比盼望到达目的地更有趣。即作者明白了要在旅行中去探索更多
的快乐。故选D。4.(2020届河南省安阳市高三第二次模拟)DuringRick’sbirthin1962,hisbrainwasdamagedforoxygenlack.ThedoctorstoldDickHoytthattherewas

s.B.38years.C.40years.D.53years.【答案】4.A5.A6.D7.B【解析】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了出生时由于缺氧而天生“植物人”的Rick13岁时喜爱上了跑步,并坚持
参加马拉松比赛,同时,跑步也给他的生命带来了奇迹。4.细节理解题。根据文章第二段内容“Duringtherun,Rickfeltasthoughhewasn’tdisabledanymore—hewassimplyo
neoftherunners.ThisexperiencedeeplyaffectedDick,andhecommittedtorunninganincreasingnumberofeventswithhissonsothatRickcouldhavethis
feelingasoftenaspossible.(在跑步的过程中,瑞克觉得自己不再是残疾人了——他只是跑步者中的一员。这段经历深深地影响了迪克,他决定和儿子一起举办越来越多的活动,这样瑞克就能尽可能多地有这种感觉。)”可知,自己在跑步过程中像一个正常人这样的感
觉促使他坚持跑步。故选A项。5.细节理解题。根据文章第三段内容“Runningtogetherbecameawaytosendamessagethat,asRicksaid,everybodyshouldbeincludedineverydaylife.(一起跑步变成了一
种传递信息的方式,正如里克所说,每个人都应该融入到日常生活中。)”可知,通过跑步,他想要传达每个人都应该融入到日常生活中,都是世界的一部分。故选A项。6.细节理解题。根据文章第三段内容“Thepair’s
firstBostonMarathonin1981finishedinthetopquarterofthefield,andshortlythereafter,attitudesbegantochange.”可知,人们态度的转变始于他们在1981年波士顿马拉松比赛取得的成绩。故选D项。
7.细节理解题。根据文章第一段内容“DuringRick’sbirthin1962,hisbrainwasdamagedforoxygenlack.”可知,他出生于1962年,第二段内容“Atage13,Ricktoldhisfatherhewantedtopartic
ipateinafive-milebenefitrunforthedisabled.”提及了第一次跑步时13岁,即1962+13=1975年,末尾段落“The2013BostonMarathonwasthe31sttimetheHoytshadruntherace,andit
wasalsotheirlastrace.”提及2013年为最后一次跑步,因此可计算2013-1975=38。故选B项。5.(2020届河南省郑州市高三第二次质量预测)WhenIheardthatVitaminwaterisg

nacontest...,myimmediatethoughtwas:Icouldneverdothat.Evenadaywouldbeverydifficultforme.(当我听说Vitaminwater将在一场比赛中捐出10万美元时,……我当时的想法
是:我永远不会这么做。哪怕是一天对我来说也很难。)可知作者听到这个比赛时,她认为这对于自己来说是个挑战。故选C项。6.细节理解题。根据文章最后一段Thepossibilityofgoingevenadaywithoutmysmartphonef
illsmewithfear.AndyetitupsetsmethatI’vebecomecompletelydependentonthistechnologicaladvancement.(即使一天没有智能手机,我也
会感到恐惧。但让我不安的是,我已经完全依赖于这种技术进步。)可知作者由于频繁使用手机的后果是对手机十分依赖。故选A项。7.主旨大意题。根据第一段中的IadmitthatI’maddictedtomyiPhone.(我承认我对我的手机上瘾了。)及最后一段中的I’mgoingtoenterthe
contest.AndevenifIdon’twin,Ipromisetolimitmyphoneusageto15minutesadayinMay,forastart.(我要参加比赛了。即使我没赢,我也保证从5月份开始,我

B【解析】这是一篇记叙文。作者的丈夫从16岁时起就从事与报纸有关的工作,文章讲述了作者丈夫与一些人关于报纸的故事,表达了作者丈夫对“印刷报纸”永恒的爱。8.细节理解题。根据第四段中的Ithoughthewasgoingtofallover.Thecolorfaded
fromhisface.(我觉得他要摔倒了。他脸变得苍白。)及Irolleduphispaperandwaveditunderhisnose.Thesmellsfromtheinkwokehimup.(我卷起他的报纸,在他鼻子底下挥了挥。墨水的气味把他弄醒了。)可知他
在听到女孩的问题时,震惊地要晕倒了。A项(震惊的)符合文章描述,故选A项。9.推理判断题。根据第四段中的Ithoughthewasgoingtofallover.Thecolorfadedfromhisface.Hiseyesrolledbackinhish
ead(我觉得他要摔倒了。他脸变得苍白,眼睛向后翻。)及下文的Irolleduphispaperandwaveditunderhisnose.Thesmellsfromtheinkwokehimup.(我卷起他的报纸,在他鼻子底下挥了挥。墨水的气味把他弄醒了。)可知作者说h
islegsweregivingout(他的腿在抽搐)是想表达出他在知道小女孩竟然不知道他最在意的报纸是什么东西时,几乎要失去了平衡,失去了知觉。故选C项。10.推理判断题。根据第五段中的ayoungmotherwhosubscribestothed
ailynewspaper(一位订阅日报的年轻母亲)及“Becauseit’sprint!”shesaid.“Iloveprint!”(她说:“因为是印刷品!我喜欢印刷品!”)可知这位年轻的母亲喜欢印刷报纸,由此可推测出
作者写这位母亲的目的是为了表达还是有年轻人喜欢印刷报纸的。故选C项。11.主旨大意题。根据第二段中的Myhusbandislesswillingtoacceptthedownwardtrendofprint-editionnewspapers,ashehasworked
innewspaperssincetheageof16.(我丈夫不太愿意接受纸质报纸的下降趋势,因为他从16岁起就从事与报纸有关的工作。)及最后一段中的Myhusbandwillbesothrilledthathemightwritethisyoungwomanint
ohiswill.(我丈夫会非常激动,他可能会把这个年轻女子写进他的遗嘱里。)及通读全文可知,文章讲述了作者丈夫与一些人关于报纸的故事,表达了作者丈夫对“印刷报纸”永恒的爱。因此B项(一个男人对印刷报纸永恒的爱。)符合文章大意,故选B项。7.(2020届湖南省衡阳市高

ceourmedicalteamarrivedinWuhantohelpfightagainstthenovelcoronavirus(新型冠状病毒).可知,周一凌晨4点,我和同事易炳坤上完了夜班。这是我们医疗
队抵达武汉抗击新型冠状病毒的第50个小时。由此可知,医疗队抵达武汉的时间是50小时之前,也就是两天前的凌晨2点,即周六凌晨2点。故选A。5.词义猜测题。根据第一段的划线词所在句的后半句withmoresuspectedcasesandanacute
shortageofmedicalstaff.可知,疑似病例多而且极其缺少医护人员。由此推知,武汉的疫情比我们想象中要严峻的多,因此划线词意为“严峻的”。故选D。6.推理判断题。根据第四段中的Thou
ghallrescuemeasuresfailed,thepatient’sfamily,however,senttheirgratitudetous.可知,虽然所有的救援措施都失败了,但是病人的家人还是向我们表达了他们的感激
之情。由此推知,病人最终死于重病。故选B。7.推理判断题。根据第四段中的Ionceaskedhimwhetherhefeltafraidaboutthepossibilityofbecominginfectedwhensavingthepatient.Hetoldmethat“Yes,
IwasreallyscaredatthetimebecauseIdohavemyfamilyandmykid.ButIwasmoreafraidthatthelifemightdisappearinfrontofme.”
Ireallyadmirehiscourage.可知,我曾经问过他,在抢救病人的时候,他是否害怕被感染。他告诉我:“是的,我当时真的很害怕,因为我有我的家人和孩子。但我更害怕的是,生活可能会消失在我面前。“我真的很佩服他的勇气。由此可知,在作者眼中,易炳

是人名,而是姓名的首字母。于是重复地询问同事金太太为什么要这么做,导致最后被解雇。最后人事经理告诉了作者谷仓啄食的故事,让作者明白了要尊重他人。8.细节理解题。根据第二段中Iwashorrifiedtoseethat
theslotswerelabelednotwithpeople’snamesbutwiththeirinitials.可知我震惊地发现,这些插槽上的标签不是人名,而是姓名的首字母。由此可知,作者刚开始工作时,发现
插槽上的标签不是全名而是首字母。故选B。9.细节理解题。根据第二段中Withoutthinking,Iaskedwhythiswasagoodidea,onlytoreceiveasharpglancefromMrs.King.SoIrepeatedthequestion.ThistimeM
rs.KingtoldmenottoquestionwhatIdidn’tunderstand.可知我不假思索地问为什么这是一个好主意,结果只得到金太太锐利的一瞥。所以我重复了这个问题。这一次金夫人告诉我不要问我不明白的问题。以及第三段中WhenIaskedMrs.Kingab
outtheprocedures,however,shealwaysreactedthesameway.可知然而,当我向金太太询问程序时,她的反应总是一样的。由此可知,作者在两个月后被解雇,因为他不停地问他的老板金太太。故选A。10.词义猜测题。根据第三段中Mrs.King,themana
gersaid,wasthatlowliestchickenatthebottomofthepeckingorderintheagency’smanagement.Nooneshoulddoubtforamomentthatsheruledherrooster.可知经理说,金太
太是公司管理层中最低级的人。谁也不应该怀疑她支配着她的公鸡。由此可推知,谷仓啄食顺序指的是公司里的排名系统。故选D。11.推理判断题。根据最后一段中EventuallyIsawhowarrogant,andhowunsympathet

ohelpthemfindabelovedfamilymember.Thecountry’sonlylicensedandbonded“petdetective”,this58-year-oldformerpoliceofficerisanexpertonthinkinglikeado
gorcat.”可知,MelodyPugh以前是一个警察,现在是这个国家唯一的有执照和有担保的“宠物侦探”,连远在南非的人们都给她打电话,请她帮助寻找自己的宠物。由此推知,她擅长寻找宠物。故选B。5.细节理解题。根据第二段中的“P

.That'swhenshediscoveredshehadanoseforfindingclues---apawprinthere,abrokenspiderwebthere.”可知,她在寻找自己的猫咪的过程中找到了2

steredasalicensedpetdetective一andthere'sabigdifference”可知,她和其他的宠物寻找者的区别是她是唯一一位有执照的宠物侦探。故选D。7.推理判断题。根据第三段中的“there'sabigdiffe
rence.Petfindersmaymakepostersandphonecalls,buttheywon'tactivelytrackyourpetorgetpersonallyinvolved”可知,Pugh和别的宠物寻找者有
很大的区别。别的宠物搜寻者可能会张贴海报和打电话,但他们不会主动跟踪你的宠物或亲自参与。由此推知,Pugh会亲自参与,寻找宠物。因此,Pugh是一个非常有奉献精神的人。故选B。10.(2020届江西省新余市高考二模)OnaSaturda

naGivesaTimelyHandtoNepalD.NepalSuffersfromTwoNonstopQuakes【答案】4.C5.D6.B7.A【解析】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了2015年尼泊尔发生的地
震,它给人们的生活造成严重破坏和影响。4.推理判断题。根据第二段第一句“ItwasonApril25,2015thatanearthquakehitNepal,theformerHimalayankingdomoutofsightbetweenitsgiantneig
hborsChinaandIndia,81yearsafterasimilardisaster.”可知,81年前也就是1934年有一场类似的地震,从下文描述的地震带来的严重后果可以推断,由于1934年的地震,尼泊尔也遭受了严重的灾难。故选C项。5.推理判断题。根据第三段Lama的原话“Weleft
ourhomesandlivedintheopenfieldsoutsidethecity,undertarpaulins(防水油布)foramonth”可知,受地震影响,他不得不离开家住在城市外面达一个月之久。由此判断出他别无选择,只能长时间停止工作。故选D项。6.细节理解题。根据最后一
段Lama的原话“ashisartisans(工匠)aretootraumatized(心理受到创伤的)totakeupthebrushagain.”可知,因为他的工匠们受了太大的创伤,不敢再拿起画笔了。由此可知,他的工匠们无法工作
达赖喇嘛最担心。故选B项。7.主旨大意题。文章从地震场景的描述开始,第二段与1934年的地震比照描写灾害之严重,后面两段则着墨于两位古代艺术风格的画家,写地震带给他们的影响。A选项“地震给古代艺术造成损害”正好涵盖了两方面的主要内容,适合作为标题。故选

aw病得很严重,得了肺癌,但是当她知道这个筹款能帮助他人的时候,她鼓励她们去参加这个活动。)可知,JenniferEarnshaw是一个具有社会责任感的人。故选B。5.词义猜测题。根据划线词所在句子“Whenwerea
chedthefinishline,EleanorandIbothfeltelatedthatwe’ddonesomethingsopositiveatsuchasadtime.”(当我们到达终点的时候,我们都感到兴奋,在如此悲伤的时候,我们做了一些十分积极的事情。)以及联系上
文可知,病重的母亲鼓励我们参加这个活动,所以当我们到达终点的时候,可推测出我们的心情是激动的、兴奋的。故选C。6.推理判断题。第五段介绍了英国癌症患病以及目前治愈的概况,以及一些筹集资金帮助治疗癌症的运动项目。结合文章内容可知,写本段的目的是增添一些背景信息。故选A。7.主旨大意题。本文主要讲了
Sally和女儿Eleanor,19年在身患癌症的母亲的鼓励下,参加了为帮助别人筹集资金的RaceforLife。今年为了纪念母亲,她们再次参加这个活动,以及她们的故事给RaceforLife带来了很多积极的影响的故事。因此本文的最佳标题是为了纪念母亲而跑步。故选A。12.(2020届山

助下,推出网站并招募了一群小伙伴专门为老年人提供一对一的指导学习新科技。4.推理判断题。根据第一段“WhenSarahWishniareceivedaniPadfromherdaughter,'ItwaslikeGreektome.'MaxRosenblumshowedherhowtos
ocializeonFacebookandshoponAmazonwithhernewdevice."“ItwaslikeGreektome""意思是“我全然不懂”,后文提到Sarah需要MaxRosenblum的帮助来使用iPad
,由此判断出当莎拉·维什尼亚收到iPad时,她用起来有些困难。故选择C。5.细节理解题。根据题干关键词“teachingseniorstousesmartdevices"可以定位到文章第一段“Maxbeganofferingh
istechcoachingforseniorsayearago,afterhehelpedhisgrandmotherwithheriPhoneandiPad.”(Max一年前开始为老年人提供技术指导,此前他帮助祖母使用iPhone和iPad。
)后面句子也做出了详细解释“Thatexperienceinspiredhimandhisparents,AdamandHeather",可知,他在教奶奶之后受到了启发,故选D。6.词义猜测题。定位到原文
中的句子“Thoughteachingaclassmightappeartobemoreexpedient,soonMaxfoundoutthatgroupsessionssimplydidn'twork.”从前后转折关系中判断出这

individualhelp.进一步的解释中了解到班级教学尽管实用,但是个别帮助更好一些,选项B意为“实用的”,符合语境,故选B。7.推理判断题。短文叙述了作为科技迷的16岁少年Max在教会了奶奶学习使用iPhone和iPad之后得到启发,在父母的帮助下,推出网站并招募了
一群小伙伴专门为老年人提供一对一的指导学习新科技。文章为记叙类,讲述事件内容,符合新闻写作习惯。故判断出短文来自于当地报纸。故选C。13.(2020届山西省太原市高三模拟)Isentamessagetomysisterat12:30p.m.during

A7.C【解析】这是一篇记叙文。本文讲述了作者在观看儿子篮球比赛过程中,看到儿子球队在比赛临近尾声并处于劣势的情况下,依然满怀信心、坚持不懈,最后获得了胜利。这番情景让刚刚失业正处于沮丧不自信中的作者消除了
自我怀疑,重新燃起了生活的斗志。4.推理判断题。根据文章第一段中的“Recently,asIwatchedmysonNathanplaybasketballforhishighschoolteam,Iwasstartingto
feelsorryformyselfandforhim.Histeamwasfacingadversityonthecourtandhewasplayinginahostileenvironment-itwastheopponent’shomegymfilledwiththeirsuppor
ters,andNathan’steamwastrailingforthreequartersofthegame.(最近,当我看到我儿子Nathan为他的高中队打篮球时,我开始为自己和他感到难过。他的球队在球场上正面临着逆境,他在一个充满敌意的环境中打球,对手的主场体
育馆里挤满了他们的支持者,Nathan的球队落后了3分比赛的四分之一。)”可知,一开始的时候,作者认为自己儿子所在的球队会失败,结合选项,故选D。5.推理判断题。根据文章第二段中的“Duringmydrivehome,IkepttellingmyselfthatIwillfindw
orkagaininashorttime-Iamconfidentinmyexperienceandabilities.ThisisthesamebeliefthatItriedtoinstillinmyson.(在开车回家
的路上,我一直告诉自己,我会在短时间内重新找到工作,我对自己的经验和能力充满信心,这和我试图灌输给儿子的信念是一样的。)”可知,作者对于自己是充满了信心,同时对生活也是积极乐观的态度。结合选项,故选B。6.词义猜测题。“and”前后为两个并列的短语,由短语“nailthefreethro
wwithsuchskill(用这样的技术把罚球钉住)”可知,Nathan能够把所有的分心都解除。故可推知划线单词意为:避免。A.Avoid避免;B.Focus集中注意力;C.Create创造;D.Receive接收。故选A。7.主旨大意题
