  A

  When Josephine Cooper was growing up, she learned the importance of charity from her parents. Although they made a modest living for their family of 10, they insisted on sharing with those less fortunate.

  Half a century later, Mrs Cooper became a beloved volunteer at the San Diego Food Bank, where she devoted herself to helping others. She organized and ran a distribution center from a church,

  helping it become the organization's largest emergency food distribution center in San Diego. She was one of 25 outstanding senior volunteers in the nation selected and invited Washington D.C. to receive the award.

  “She was the main person who helped us make that program grow,” said Mike Doody, former director of the Food Bank. “She had a way of getting people to work together and to work hard. She was determined and stubborn, but in a good way. She had a good heart.” People knew her as “Grandma” because of her selflessness and her devotion to helping hungry children and families. “She reminded people of their Grandma.” Doody said.

  As a widow with a young child in 1979, Mrs Cooper was helped through a difficult financial time when the Food Bank provided her with groceries. “She devoted her life to giving back,” said her daughter, Monica Cooper. It wasn't unusual for a local church to call Mrs Cooper to ask her to aid a needy family. “She would give people food out of her cupboard. Sometimes we would cook a meal for a family living out of their car,” Cooper said.

  Although Mrs Cooper was honored to receive the national award for her volunteer work, she said being able to help others was her reward. She died of liver disease and kidney failure, aged 93.

  本文主要讲述了一位终生致力于慈善工作而受人尊敬的妇女Josephine Cooper。

  36.The underlined word “charity” in Paragraph 1 refers to ________.

  A.offering help

  B.donating money

  C.providing services

  D.showing sympathy

  答案:A 指代判断题。难度较小。根据下文的描述可知,charity表示“提供帮助”,故选A。

  37.The San Diego Food Bank is meant to ________.

  A.distribute food in case of emergency

  B.help hungry children and families

  C.give basic first­aid treatment

  D.train some senior volunteers

  答案:B 细节理解题。难度中等。根据第二段中的“where she devoted herself to helping others... largest emergency food distribution center”可知答案为B。

  38.Which of the following is true of Mrs Cooper?

  A.She died at an early age.

  B.She refused the national award.

  C.She was kind and devoted.

  D.She was not easy to get along with.

  答案:C 判断正误题。难度中等。根据文章内容可知,Josephine Cooper 93岁去世,因此A项错误;根据第二段可知,她去了华盛顿参加这次颁奖大会,因此B项错误;从文章多处可以看出Josephine Cooper心地善良而且她总能让人联想到自己的奶奶,可见她和蔼可亲,因此D项错误。故选C。

  39.From what Monica Cooper said, we know that ________.

  A.she is in financial trouble

  B.she was finally rewarded

  C.she once misunderstood her mother

  D.she thinks highly of her mother

  答案:D 推理判断题。难度中等。女儿在评价母亲时说“She devoted her life to giving back”,即,“她一生致力于回报和给予”,由此可知女儿对母亲给予很高的评价。故选D。

  40.Mrs Cooper's story suggests that ________.

  A.everyone needs a Grandma nearby

  B.children are what their parents are

  C.a sound mind is in a sound body

  D.a mother's love never changes

  答案:B 推理判断题。难度较大。根据文章第一段中的“She learned the importance of charity from her parents”可知,Josephine Cooper的父母也是乐善好施之人,她是从父母那儿学到的这个好品质,因此,父母是什么样的人就会教育出什么样的孩子,由此可知选B。而A项不符合题意;a sound mind is in a sound body表示“健康的心理寓于健康的身体”;a mother's love never changes表示“母亲的爱永远不会改变”,均与文章大意不符合。

  B

  (2016·济南一模)

  The writings of Shakespeare are today little read by young people in Britain. His young readership is limited to those who choose to study literature at university.

  Shakespeare's work, together with most other classics, is seen as remote, and written in a 400­year­old version of English that is about as inviting as toothache.

  Still, in British schools, it is compulsory to study the bard (诗人), and when something is made compulsory, usually the result is boredom, resentment (憎恨) or both.

  This was my experience of the classics at school. But when I reached my late teenage years, I had a change of heart. Like every other young person since the dawn of time, the world confused me. I wanted answers, so I turned to books to find them.

  I went on to take a PhD in literature and have taught it in Britain and China. I have never regretted it.

  There is something in literature that people want, even if they don't read books. You see this in the popularity of TV and movie adaptations of great works, the recent film version of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice being a_case_in_point. These popular adaptations may help increase people's interest in the classics.

  Reading a simplified Romeo and Juliet may perhaps lead to a reading of Shakespeare's actual play.

  If that is the case, then I welcome the trend. But do not make the mistake of thinking that it is the same thing.

  Shakespeare is a poet.

  His greatness is in his language. Reading someone else's rewriting of his work is like peeling a banana, throwing away the fruit, and eating the skin. Take on the original. It really is worth the effort.

  一些文学名著被搬上舞台和银幕,这虽是作品另外的艺术展现形式,却不及原著内容丰富,意义深刻。要想了解文学大师的深邃思想,作者建议读原著,因为这样是非常有必要的。

  41.Which of the following is true according to the passage?

  A.The language used in classics is no longer in use today.

  B.British students usually find compulsory reading dull.

  C.Only those studying literature read Shakespeare's works.

  D.For British people, Shakespeare's works are no longer classics.

  答案:B 推理判断题。根据文章第三段内容可以推断B项正确。

  42.According to the passage, the writer ________.

  A.has liked literary classics since an early age

  B.was forced to read the classics for a PhD

  C.turned to literature to seek answers in his teens

  D.thinks only people who read books like literature

  答案:C 推理判断题。根据文章的第四段内容可知C项正确。

  43.The popularity of TV and movie adaptations of great works may help people ________.

  A.learn more about tradition

  B.get a PhD in literature

  C.seek their answers about the world

  D.become more interested in the classics

  答案:D 细节理解题。据文章第五段的最后一句话,可知D项为最佳答案。

  44.The underlined phrase “a case in point” in Paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to ________.

  A.a great hit

  B.a good example

  C.a movie adaptation

  D.a popular phenomenon

  答案:B 词义猜测题。画线前面的一句话“You see this in the popularity of TV and movie adaptations of great works”是作者的观点,后面是进行事例论证。故最佳答案为B。

  45.What does the writer intend to tell us in the last paragraph?

  A.The fruit of a banana is more useful than its skin.

  B.The rewriting trend does more harm than good.

  C.Readers should try to read the original versions.

  D.Readers need to learn the language in the classics.

  答案:C 主旨大意题。文章最后一段表明了作者的观点。改编的作品和原著是不一样的,后面并举例说明。作者建议我们要读作者的原作。故选C。

  C

  (2016·北京西城区一模)

  A year ago August, Dave Fuss lost his job driving a truck for a small company in west Michigan. His wife, Gerrie, was still working in the local school cafeteria, but work for Dave was scarce, and the price of everything was rising. The Fusses were at risk of joining the millions of Americans who have lost their homes in recent years. Then Dave and Gerrie received a timely gift—$7,000, a legacy (遗产) from their neighbors Ish and Arlene Hatch who died in an accident.

  “It really made a difference when we were going under financially,” says Dave.

  But the Fusses weren't the only folks in Alto and the neighboring town of Lowell to receive the unexpected legacy from the Hatches.

  Dozens of other families were touched by the Hatches' generosity. In some cases, it was a few thousand dollars; in others, it was more than $ 100,000.

  It surprised nearly everyone that the Hatches had so much money, more than $ 3 million—they were an elderly couple who lived in an old house on what was left of the family farm.

  Children of the Great Depression, Ish and Arlene were known for their habit of saving.

  They liked comparison shopping and would routinely go from store to store, checking prices before making a new purchase.

  Through the years, the Hatches paid for local children to attend summer camp when their parents couldn't afford it. “Ish and Arlene never asked if you needed anything,” says their friend Sandy Van Weelden. “They could see things they could do to make you happier, and they would do them.”

  Even more extraordinary was that the Hatches' had their farmland distributed. It was the Hatches' wish that their legacy—a legacy of kindness as much as one of dollars and cents—should enrich the whole community and last for generations to come.

  Neighbors helping neighbors—that was Ish and Arlene Hatch's story.

  在Fuss一家陷入财政危机时,他们收到了邻居Hatch夫妇的遗产,从而渡过了难关。

  46.According to the text, the Fusses ________.

  A.were employed by a truck company

  B.were in financial difficulty

  C.worked in a school cafeteria

  D.lost their home

  答案:B 细节理解题。根据文章第一段中的“The Fusses were at risk of joining the millions of Americans who have lost their homes in recent years.”以及“It really made a difference when we were going under financially”可知,Fuss一家陷入了财政危机。故选B。

  B.They left the family farm to live in an old house.

  C.They gave away their possessions to their neighbors.

  D.They helped their neighbors to find jobs.

  答案:C 细节理解题。由文章第二段中的“Dozens of other families were touched by the Hatches' generosity.”可知,Hatch夫妇把他们的财产赠给了他们的邻居。故选C。

  48.Why would the Hatches routinely go from store to store?

  A.They decided to open a store.

  B.They wanted to save money.

  C.They couldn't afford expensive things.

  D.They wanted to buy gifts for local kids.

  答案:B 推理判断题。由文章第四段中的“They liked comparison shopping and would routinely go from store to store, checking prices before making a new purchase.”可推知,他们想节省钱。故选B。

  49.According to Sandy Van Weelden, the Hatches were ________.

  A.understanding

  B.optimistic

  C.childlike

  D.curious

  答案:A 推理判断题。由倒数第三段中Sandy Van Weelden所说的话可推知,Hatch夫妇善解人意。故选A。

  50.What can we learn from the text?

  A.The community of Alto was poor.

  B.The summer camp was attractive to the parents.

  C.Sandy Van Weelden got a legacy from the Hatches.

  (2016·烟台二诊)

  Maurice Sendak's children's book,Where the Wild Things Are, published

  in

  1963, has

  become

  very successful throughout the years and was made into a movie earlier this year.

  The book's main character is a boy named Max who gets into trouble with his mother and is sent to bed without any supper. Before long, Max's room magically becomes a forest, and he sails away to a land where monsters live. Max isn't scared, though, and becomes king of the wild things, but after a while, he begins feeling homesick. Max sails back home and his supper is still hot when he arrives at his bedroom.

  Many teachers and professors like this story and use it to help children develop creativity and imagination. Melina Davis, an education professor, said she liked that the book contains a couple of pages that have only pictures on them. “This allows children to shape the story themselves,” she said.

  The book contains a few of larger words that some parents worry may confuse children, but experts say those words help improve children's reading skills and challenge them.

  Davis said the book is well written which helps kids get involved in the story. “The book talks about what all children go through,like ‘I am naughty but my mommy still loves me’,” Davis said.

  The book also encourages children to face their fears. “I think it's really good to show that Max is friends with the monsters,” Davis said. “Kids can find out monsters aren't always the things under the bed that are going to scare them. I think this is good because it shows that the children can go to scary places but still have a positive experience.”

  Since the book has been successful throughout the years,a movie was recently made and many people were excited to see it. Davis said she thinks the movie will be wonderful but it might be a little scary for younger children. “You don't want bad dreams over a book that's extremely wonderful,” Davis said.

  Wild Things Are because it helps children ________.
