BCities usually have a good reason for being where they are, like a nearby port or river. People settle in these places because they are easy to get to and naturally suited to communications and trade. New York City, for example, is near a large harbour at the mouth of the Hudson River. Over 300 years its population grew gradually from 800 people to 8 million. But not all cities develop slowly over a long period of time. Boom towns grow from nothing almost overnight. In 1896, Dawson, Canada, was unmapped wilderness(荒野). But gold was discovered there in 1897, and two years later, it was one of the largest cities in the West, with a population of 30,000.Dawson did not have any of the natural conveniences of cities like London or Paris. People went there for gold. They travelled over snow-covered mountains and sailed hundreds of miles up icy rivers. The path to Dawson was covered with thirty feet of wet snow that could fall without warming. An avalanche(雪崩) once closed the path, killing 63 people. For many who made it to Dawson, however, the rewards were worth the difficult trip. Of the first 20,000 people who dug for gold, 4,000 got rich. About 100 of these stayed rich men for the rest of their lives.But no matter how rich they were, Dawson was never comfortable. Necessities like food and wood were very expensive. But soon, the gold that Dawson depended on had all been found. The city was crowded with disappointed people with nointerest in settling down, and when they heard there were new gold discoveries in Alaska, they left Dawson City as quickly as they had come. Today, people still come and go — to see where the Canadian gold rush happened. Tourism is now the chief industry of Dawson City — its present population is 762.（1）What attracted the early settlers to New York City?A. Its business culture.B. Its small population.C. Its geographical position.D. Its favourable climate.（2）What do we know about those who first dug for gold in Dawson?A. Two-thirds of them stayed there.B. One out of five people got rich.C. Almost everyone gave up.D. Half of them died.（3）What was the main reason for many people to leave Dawson?A. They found the city too crowded.B. They wanted to try their luck elsewhere.C. They were unable to stand the winter.D. They were short of food.（4）What is the text mainly about?A. The rise and fall of a city.B. The gold rush in Canada.C. Journeys into the wilderness.D. Tourism in Dawson.【答案】（1）C（2）B（3）B（4）A【考点】主旨大意题，细节理解题，社会文化类，记叙文【解析】【分析】本文讲述加拿大城市Dawson兴衰的过程。

2018-2019学年高考人物传记类试题英语试卷一、阅读理解1."Oh, my god. Are you serious?"That’s a reaction I often get when people hear the tale of my childhood.It’s a story I don’t often share. Growing up in a bad home, I learned to protect myself by not speaking up. I’ve seldom said anything about how badly I was treated and hurt as a child.I don’t talk about how my name was changed at least three times, what i t was like to live in my ran (箱式货车), or how I’ve struggled with anxiety, depression，and wanting to kill myself.But I learned to start speaking up for myself. I went on to earn two graduate degrees and I will complete my doctorate this year. I’ve also beco me a widely published author. So how did I get to where I am today?What’s helped me is surrounding myself with caring, loving people. I’ve learned day-to-day skills through research, trial and errors and with the help of skilled professionals.They’ve taught me how to slow down, to breathe, to be thankful for what I’ve got. They’re the ones who make my goals possible. They have also taught me to turn my past experiences into strength—to make the negatives into positives.My hope is that sharing my story might help others to see what is possible even in the darkest of times and help others to speak out.I don’t think I’m in any way special or unique. I’m a common man, no more deserving than anyone else. But for far too long, I’ve been afraid that others think I’m damaged goods. I’ve worried about how I might be treated differently.Pain and fear teach us to be silent. It’s time for that to change.I don’t know what tomorrow might bring, But one thing I’ve learned is that if we can mold on and find help, if we find ways to get through the day and speak up, we’ll not only survive, but become stronger than before.Our very survival can be an inspiration all on its own. And with love of my friends, I look forward to so much more than completing my education; I look forward to the future.（1）Which might not be related to the author’s childhood?A.DepressionB.DisappointmentC.DesperationD.Trust（2）How did the writer get today’s success?A.With the help of his parents.B.Learning by himself.C.Holding on and finding help from others.D.Being special and talented.（3）What’s the author’s purpose of sharing his story?A.To become stronger than before.B.To encourage others to make the most of their dark times of life.C.To become a better publisher.D.To change the ways to speak up.（4）What can we learn from the author’s experience?A.We should overcome the difficulty depending on ourselves.B.We should keep silent when meeting pain and fear.C.Managing to survive when in trouble can make us stronger.D.Our childhood 1ife decides our future.【答案】DCBC【考点】记叙文阅读人物传记类阅读细节理解高三推理判断目的意图【解析】本文是一篇记叙文，作者的童年充满了焦虑、压抑和痛苦，他甚至想要自杀。
