.阅读理解
(2017·合肥高三模拟)Born in Australia without arms or legs, 30yearold Nick Vujicic has become an international symbol of victory.His life has been filled with one hurdle after the next.But you'll hear no selfpity from Vujicic, whose book, ..., was published last month.“My limbless challenge remains.I cannot change that，” says Vujicic, who counts skydiving and surfing among his hobbies.“But what I can, and did change is my attitude.”
It is Vujicic's spirit that has made him a sellout speaker, traveling the world to share his story.Describing low points in his life, including a suicide attempt at age 10 and a failing business in his 20s, he says the “three F's” are what got him through: friends, family and faith.“I can honestly say, the fear of being alone during the most difficult times in my life was worse than living without arms and legs ...Hard times make you humble (卑微)．You realize that you do need people to help you when you are not able to do it all yourself.”
A few years ago, confronted with the increasing business debt, Vujicic says he nearly gave up to selfdestructive thoughts.But he set small goals: Get out of bed, eat breakfast, leave the house.Those small successes built his confidence to move forward to the next level.“There is nothing about failure that is easy，” he says.“But it is also true that our failures in life teach us to embrace every small victory.Success is that much sweeter when you have struggled to reach it.”
Family and friends are a safety net, including wife Kanae who is expecting their first child.“My parents always taught me，‘You don't know what you are able to do until you try，’” he recalls.“The first time you fail at anything is painful.But you have a decision: Do you give up or do you try again？”
1．What can be inferred from the first paragraph?
A．Nick has a positive attitude towards hardships.
B．Nick is afraid he cannot take control of his life.
C．Nick is discouraged by his physical limitations.
D．Nick feels sorry for his absence of arms and legs.
2．Which of the following is TRUE of Nick?
A．He succeeds in motivating others greatly.
B．He believes he can do anything all by himself.
C．He dislikes telling his low points to the audience.
D．He thinks supportive relationships are unnecessary.
3．What can we learn from Nick's success?
A．One is never too late to learn.
B．One's success depends on his parents.
C．One should learn to give in when in trouble.
D．One should make every effort even if he fails.
4．What does the text mainly talk about?
A．Parental love.
B．Failures in life.
C．A book titled Unstoppable.
D．Attitude towards life.
答
案
Ⅰ.1.选D 句意：“冰激凌确实很可口，我能再吃一些吗？”“请便。”be my guest“请便(用于礼貌地同意别人的请求)”，符合语境。behave yourself“检点；举止规矩有礼”；do it yourself“自己动手”。
2．选A 句意：根据安排，我们学校的运动员每天在体育馆锻炼两个小时。work out“锻炼”，符合句意。carry out“执行；实施”；take in“理解；领会”；set aside“留出；拨出”。
3．选D 与某人争论用argue with sb.；就某件事而争论用介词about或者over。
4．选B 句意：看报纸时每次遇到一篇好文章，我就剪下来保存它。come across“偶然遇到”，符合句意。
5．选B 句意：在他们探索大自然的过程中经常会面对各种困难和危险。explore the nature“探索大自然”，故选B项。promotion“宣传推广；提拔”；inspiration“激励；鼓励”；explanation“解释；说明”。
6．选A 句意：“你认为我应该做什么呢？”“我认为出于尊重，你最好请他重新回到我们的聚会。”out of respect“出于尊重”，符合句意。at the expense of ...“以……为代价”；beyond control“无法控制”；in favor“支持”。
7．选B 句意：我正要付款这时突然想起把钱包忘在家里了。It occurred to sb.
that ...为常用句型，意为“某人突然想起……”。
8．选D 句意：一旦学会了利用失败，那么失败就能为你的生活作出积极的贡献。once意为“一旦”，引导条件状语从句，符合语境。
9．选B war“战争”；campaign“运动”；motion“运动；提议”；struggle“斗争”。显然只有B项符合答语的句意，即“的确！所以我们国家正在计划开展一项戒烟运动。”
10．选C 句意：科学家们说，全球变暖正在影响着数百种的动植物并且改变了它们的一些生活方式。此处changing some living patterns作伴随状语。故选C。
11．选D 问句句意：你是否碰巧认识莉莉演讲中提到的那位教授？refer to句中表示“提到”，这里用其过去分词形式作定语，修饰professor，表示被动意义。
12．选D 由答语可知，本来昨天我打算在会上发言的，但时间不允许了。intend所表示的动作发生在did not permit所表示的动作之前，应用过去完成时。故D项正确。
13．选D 前句句意：我们不应该看不起和嘲笑那些没有能遮风挡雨的住处的人们。look down upon“蔑视；瞧不起”，符合句意。look forward to“盼望”；think highly of“高度评价”；pay attention to“注意”。
14．选B 句意：2017年的一项调查显示，在这个城市超过百分之三十的人口已经被成功劝服到商场里购物了。名词被分数、百分数修饰时，谓语动词的单复数取决于名词，population在这里指在这个城市中的人，是集合名词，是复数概念，故谓语动词应用复数形式；又因此处表示“被劝服”，所以应用被动语态；由“in 2017”可知应用一般过去时，故选B。
15．选D 句意：我们村的年轻人现在过着一种比我们当时更舒适的生活。“the＋形容词”表示的是一类人；live a ...life是固定搭配，意为“过着……生活”。
Ⅱ.1.选D 分析句式可知，本句为定语从句，先行词为the eighteenth century，因定语从句中缺少时间状语成分，故应用when来引导。故答案选D。
2．选B 根据语境可知，应该是给“富人(the rich)”家里当佣人。定冠词the与形容词连用，可表示“一类人”。故答案选B。
3．选C be reserved for ...意为“为……留出，保留”，符合题意。故答案选C。
4．选A 根据上文内容可知，如果“Mothering Sunday”一直被留作为回家探望母亲的日子而延续下来就会变为一种习俗。所以custom最符合语境，故答案选A。
5．选D 根据上文“‘Mothering Sunday’was ________ for them ... their mothers.”可知，星期天这一天是专门为母亲而设立的节日，所以应用Sunday一词。故答案选D。
6．选B 根据第四段倒数第四句中“the official Mother's Day flower”以及“official holiday”意为“法定假日”可知，答案选B。
7．选C 根据下文内容可知，Anna Jarvis对于母亲节的设立起了很大作用，largely意为“在很大程度上”，因此应用largely一词。故答案选C。

9．选D make one's home意为“安家，安身”，符合语意。故答案选D。
10．选B 分析句式可知，本句为定语从句，where在从句中作地点状语。故答案选B。
11．选C 根据文章第三段第三句中“ministers there honoured Mrs.Jarvis ...”可知，答案选C。
12．选A 此处表示“为了悼念她的母亲”，in memory of意为“对……的纪念”，符合语意。故答案选A。
13．选D A项意为“容易的，安逸的”；B项意为“昂贵的”；C项意为“简单的”；D项意为“特殊的”。根据文章最后一段最后一句“On the special day, family ... cook dinner”可知，答案选D。
14．选C A项意为“推迟”；B项意为“放弃”；C项意为“留出(时间或钱)”；D项意为“呈现，雇用”。根据本文开头“England was one of ... to set aside a day to recognize mothers.”可知，答案选C。
15．选B 联系语境可知，母亲节已被设定为一个节日，所以应为“celebrate”，故答案选B。
16．选D follow the tradition意为“遵循传统，按照传统”，符合语意。故答案选D。
17．选A 句意为：其他的孩子会给妈妈礼物，这些礼物或者是他们亲手制作的，或者是在商店里买的。A项意为“礼物”；B项意为“信件”；C项意为“电话”；D项意为“玩具”。根据句意可知，答案选A。
18．选D A项意为“学校”；B项意为“教堂”；C项意为“医院”；D项意为“商店”。根据上文中“bought”可知，礼物应该在商店中买到，而A、B、C三项均与题意不符。故答案选D。
19．选C 根据下文“they may bring white ... to their grave sites”可知，将康乃馨带去墓地可以推出，他们的母亲应该是去世了。故答案选C。
20．选B 根据下文“On the special day, family members do not want Mom to cook dinner.”可知，由于在这一天不想让母亲再去做饭，所以这一天对于“饭店”来说是最忙的一天。故答案选B。
Ⅲ.1.选A 推理判断题。根据第一段第三句中的“But you'll hear no selfpity from Vujicic”及最后一句“But what I can, and did change is my attitude.”可知，他对苦难抱有积极的态度。故选A。
2．选A 细节理解题。根据第二段第一句“It is Vujicic's spirit that has made him a sellout speaker, traveling the world to share his story.”可知，Nick自强不息的精神使他成为一个场场满座的演讲者，并去世界各地与人分享自己的故事，由此可知，他激励了很多人。
3．选D 推理判断题。根据第四段最后一句“‘The first time ... try again？’”并结合上文Nick Vujicic在人生低谷时自强不息的经历可知，人们从Nick的成功中应该学到的是：即使失败了，我们也不能放弃，而是要加倍努力。故选D。
4．选D 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章通过介绍一位身残志坚的残疾人由于对人生抱有积极的态度，从而超越了自己，获得了巨大的成功，以此来告诉人们人生态度的重要性。故选D。
