Probably you have seen photos of the Grand Canyon（峡谷）, the great valley in the desert country of Arizona. But you must go there yourself to feel its true size and beauty. The Grand Canyon is one of the greatest natural wonders of the worldThe Colorado River formed the Grand Canyon over millions of years. Slowly, the river cut downthrough hard rock. At the same time, the land was rising. Today the canyon is 1.5 kilometers and 445 kilometers long. The oldest rocks at the bottom of the canyon are more than 1 billion years old. The width varies from about 200 meters to 29 kilometers across. The rim or top of the canyon is about 2,300 meters above sea level on the South Rim, and about 3,000 meters on the other side. As a result, there are different kinds of plants and animals on opposite sides of the canyon. The South Rim is dry desert country. The North Rim has tall forests.The canyon looks different at different times of day, and in different seasons and weather. At sunrise and sunset the red, gold, brown and orange colors of the rocks are especially clear and bright. In winter, the canyon is partly covered with snow.The view from the South Rim of the Grand Canyon is the best. Most visitors come here and stay in campgrounds or hotels. Every point along the canyon’s edge offers a different view.The North rim of the Canyon is quieter. It takes all day to drive there from the South Rim because there is only one bridge across the Colorado River. On the way, you go through Navado Indian lands, and a colorful pink desert called “The Painted Desert”.1.

福建省英语高考复习记叙文阅读理解训练13（含答案解析）1It was my first day as a newcomer to Miss Hargrove’s seventh grade. Past “newcomer” experiences had been difficult, so I was very anxious about fitting in.Lunchtime was a pleasant surprise when the girls all crowded around my table. My new classmates filled me in on the school, the teachers and the other kids. It wasn’t long before the class nerd was pointed out to me: Mary Lou, a young girl with old-fashioned clothes. She wasn’t ugly, not even funny looking. I thought she was quite pretty but I had sense enough not to say so. Mary Lou made eye contact with no one as she walked past our tables, chin held high with iron determination, and she ate alone.After school, the girls invited me to join them in front of the school. I was excited to be a member of the club. We waited. For what, I didn’t yet know. Oh, how I wish I had gone home, but I had a lesson to learn.Arms wrapped around her backpack, Mary Lou came down the school steps. Rude and biting（尖刻的）comments were poured from the girls, I paused and then joined right in. The other girls stepped back and became my cheerleaders. But I was not proud. Something inside me hurt. If you’ve ever picked a wing off a butterfly, you will know how I felt.Without a tear, Mary went off. I turned to leave with my friends and noticed a man standing beside his car. He was Mary’s father. Respectful of Mary Lou’s proud spirit, he remained still and watched the lonely girl walking towards him. As I passed, he fixed his eyes on me in silence with burning tears that spoke to me.No scolding（责备）from a teacher or a parent could stay as long as that hurt in my heart from the day when a father eyes taught me kindness and shame. I never again joined the cruel girls. I never again hurt someone for my own gain.1．What does the underlined word “nerd” in Paragraph 2 probably mean？A．A popular person B．A cold-blooded personC．A boring person D．A chicken-hearted person2. Why does the author wish she had gone home after she joined the other girls?A. Because she wanted to go home earlierB. Because she didn’t want to have a lessonC. Because she didn’t want to treat Mary Lou rudelyD. Because she wanted to make friends with Mary Lou3. How did the author feel when the other girls became her cheerleaders?A. ProudB. SorryC. ExcitedD. Encouraged4. What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. It's good for a girl to be kind.B. It 's hard for a newcomer to fit in.C. We should support those in difficulty.D. We should not hurt others for our own gain.参考答案：CCBD2I decided at 10 that I was going to be a teacher because I had a burning desire for superpowers. As a boy, I could clearly see some of my teachers had extraordinary powers.There was an English teacher in fifth grade who could magically transport us to different worlds every day by telling us stories and reading to us from books we would otherwise never pick up. This was our secret and fun time because fifth graders were considered too old to have stories read out to them.It was even shocking that my teacher could see the invisible. I was one of those who lacked insight. Yet my teacher would notice me and the unspoken message in her eyes suggested that she could see me through. She had another superpower and even after four decades, I could still vividly remember her lessons about the great masters of art and great geographers, expanding our horizons. She did this even though her major was not art, nor geography. Her lessons went beyond the textbook. I knew I wanted to be one of those all-seeing ones with superpowers that made children feel safe and valued.I know being a teacher isn’t the easiest or the most financially rewarding of jobs. And there are occupational risks—your knees can become worn out from years of carrying piles of notebooks up and down the school staircase, your voice can give in from too much talking. But despite all that, there are those choosing this cause. To them, teaching is not just a job—it is a science, an art and a craft, and it demands emotional labour and investment.All my life, for three decades now, I’ve gone to work early each day with a spring in my step. Occasionally, I meet my former students. Their obvious love for me and fond memories of our time together are my rewards. When I meet others who thirst for superpowers, like the brand new teacher struggling to perfect her skills with a brave face on, or the one in a remote, rural school travelling 70 kilometers each day just for his pupils, I feel proud to belong to the same group.1. What can be inferred about the stories from paragraph 2?A. They were told in a magic way.B. They were written by the teacher.C. They contained some students’ fun secrets.D. They left the students with happy memories.2. Which of the following best describes the English teacher?A. Ambitious and generous.B. Hard-working and wealthy.C. Caring and modest.D. Well-informed and observant.3. What do we know about the author as a teacher?A. He suffered a lot in his knees and voice.B. He thought teaching was more than spreading knowledge.C. He had some ideas of how to be a teacher at a young age.D. He was rewarded with much money for his devotion at school.4. What can be concluded about being a teacher from the text?A. With one thousand times for the peach garden sweet.B. Teachers lead the door, progress in the individual.C. In scholarship there is no difference of age.D. Learning without a teacher is hard to gain.答案：DDBA3On a recent afternoon，some 60 years after they graduated from grammar school，Kathleen Rys，72，and her sister Lorraine O’Kelly，70，sat down and had a meal with a classmate，Bruce Smit，71，for the first time.In the 1950s, Lorraine and Kathleen Rys’ family moved from Chicago to Monee. As new kids at Monee Elementary School，they soon found themselves on the outs with other students.I would be with the other students.“I would be with the other guys and See Kathleen walking down the hallway，her head down，holding her books，walking slowly. And all of us guys would lean against the wall until she passed.Then we'd burst intolaughter.How rude is that? It's just crazy,” said Bruce, a doctor whose wife, Ta mmy, organized the meeting.The women said none of the teachers cared about it . “We just kept it to ourselves,” Lorraine said.Over the years，Tammy Smit said，“Bruce would just start to cry at times. He'd wonder what happened to the sisters, if they led a good life.” One day a few weeks ago, Tammy took to the Internet and found Mary O'Kelly，Lorraine 's daughter，and offered to set up a meeting .The idea of revisiting the pain was not well-received by Kathleen, who had never married ，let alone gone on a date. It took some convincing，but Lorraine finally got Kathleen to agree to meet with Bruce .Bruce broke into tears. “I'm so ashamed，so embarrassed ,” he said. “But I'm so happy that you're still here and that I can finally apologize .” He said he hoped his apology would encourage others to seek forgiveness for the pain they had made on others .Lorraine said，“This is a beautiful thing. It's just wonderful that a person can ask for forgiveness after about 60 years. It’s like a miracle to us. It’s healing to us.1. What can we learn from the first three paragraphs ?A. Kathleen made her classmates afraid of her at school.B. Kathleen was once hurt by her classmates at schoolC. Bruce Smit asked his wife to organize the meeting.D. Bruce Smit spoke ill of Kathleen.2. What does the underlined word “it” in the 4th paragraph probably refer to?A. The guys’ meeting.B. Kathleen's slow pace.C. The guys’ apology.D. Kathleen’s suffering.3. How did Kathleen first feel about the meeting?A. Angry.B. Excited.C. Anxious.D. Unwilling.4. What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. Bruce was embarrassed about his apology.B. The other guys apologized to the two sisters，C. Bruce and the two sisters felt a sense of relief.D. Lorraine thought the apology came a little late.答案：1. B 2. D 3. D 4. C4When I was nine years old, I loved to go fishing with my dad. But the only thing that wasn’t very fun about it was that he could catch many fish while I couldn’t catch anything. I usually got pretty upset and kept asking him why. He always answered, “Son, if you want to catch a fish, you have to think like a fish.” I remember being even more upset then because, “I’m not a fish!” I didn’t know how to think like a fish. Besides, I reasoned, how could what I think influence what a fish does?As I got a little older I began to understand what my dad really meant. So, I read some books on fish. And I even joined the local fishing club and started attending the monthly meetings. I learned that a fish is a cold-blooded animal and therefore is very sensitive to water temperature. That is why fish prefer shallow water to deep water because the former is warmer. Besides, water is usually warmer in direct sunlight than in the shade. Yet, fish don’t have any eyelids(眼皮) and the sun hurts their eyes… The more I understood fish, the more I became effective at finding and catching them.When I grew up and entered the business world, I remember hearing my first boss say, “We all need to think like salespeople.” But it didn’t completely make sense. My dad never once said, “If you want to catch a fish you need to think like a fisherman.” What he said was, “You need to think like a fish.” Years later, with great efforts to promote long-term services to people much older and richer than me, I gradually learned what we all need is to think more like customers. It is not an easy job. I will show you how in the following chapters.1. Why was the author upset in fishing trips when he was nine?A. He could not influence a fish as his father did.B. His father was not patient with him.C. His father did not teach him fishing.D. He could not catch a fish.2. According to the author, fish are most likely to be found _________.A. in shallow water under waterside treesB. in deep water on cloudy daysC. in shallow water under sunlightD. in deep water on sunny days3. After entering the business world, the author found _________.A. it easy to think like a customerB. his first boss’s sales ideas reason ableC. his father’s fishing advice inspiringD. it difficult to sell services to poor people4. This passage most likely comes from _________.A. a fishing guideB. a millionaire’s biographyC. a novel on childhoodD. a popular sales book答案：1---4 DACD5About five weeks ago, I noticed the skin of our pet lizard was growing dusty. It worried me. I reported the strange surface on the skin of the lizard to my husband and children the next morning. Seconds later, our lizard emerged from its tank with its old skin flowing behind it.I didn't think about it much until a morning last week when I knocked my favorite teapot off the table. It burst into hundreds of pieces. As I swept up the mess, I wondered why we had been breaking so many things over the months.The destruction started three months ago. It was my husband's birthday. He had just lost his job. The uncertainty was starting to wear on us, so I wanted to do something special.“Let's make a cake for Dad!” I cried.My kids screamed with joy. We baked, iced and sprinkled for most of the day. Candles on the cake! Balloons on the walls! Flowers on the table!Two hours before my husband came back home from another job interview, my daughter climbed up to grab a glass vase from a high shelf. It fell and crashed beside the cake. Tiny pieces of glass were everywhere. She sobbed loudly as I threw the cake away. My husband had banana pudding for his birthday.Three days ago, the light in our living room suddenly went out. After several frustrating hours of unsuccessful attempts to fix it, my husband suggested watching the Michael Jordan documentary series The Last Dance.The poignancy of Jordan retiring from his beloved basketball to play baseball and what had pushed him to make such a tough decision took me by surprise. As I watched him take off his basketball uniform and replace it with a baseball uniform, I saw him leaving behind the layer that no longer served him, just as our lizard had. Neither of them chose the moment that had transformed them. But they had to live with who they were after everything was different. Just like us. I realized that we have to learn to leave the past behind.Humans do not shed skin as easily as other animals. The beginning of change is upsetting. The process is tiring. Damage changes us before we are ready. I see our lizard, raw and nearly new.Jordan said that no matter how it ends, it starts with hope. With our tender, hopeful skin, that is where we begin.1. What can we learn about the pet lizard from Paragraph 1?A. Its tank grew dirty.B. Its old skin came off.C. It got a skin disease.D. It went missing.2. Why did the author's husband have banana pudding for his birthday?A. The birthday cake was ruined.B. The author made good puddings.C. Pudding was his favorite dessert.D. They couldn't afford a birthday cake.3. Why does the author mention The Last Dance in the passage?A. To prove a theory.B. To define a concept.C. To develop the theme.D. To provide the background.4. The underlined part "leaving behind the layer" in Paragraph 8 can be understood as .A. letting go of the pastB. looking for a new jobC. getting rid of a bad habitD. giving up an opportunity5. What does the author most likely want to tell us?A. Love of family helps us survive great hardships.B. It's not the end of the world if we break things.C. We should move on no matter what happens.D. Past experiences should be treasured.答案：1.B 2.A 3.C 4.A 5.C。

Our personal engagement is the first step of a longer journey of discovery that deepens our knowledge and understanding of ourselves and our world.We may，for example，feel for Hester Prynne from Nathaniel Hawthorne’s The Scarlet Letter though we despair of the world she lived in.While we’re letting go of things，let’s stop worrying about understanding everything.We can’t.It will be fun if we embrace curiosity，the pleasure of working out a mystery，and our common relationships as humans.We can feel，for example，the power of self-sacrifice in Charles Dickens’A Tale of T w o Cities even when we lack full understanding of the cultural references and language.20．Most museum goers .A．enjoy reading notice boardsB．understand the artworks wellC．lack professional art knowledgeD．share common interest in artworks21．What can the “spoilers” in Para.2 possibly be?A．Story writers.B．Readers’ expectations.C．Guiding experts.D．Plots given away in advance.22．What prevents readers enjoying reading classics?A．Showing curiosity about the writers.B．Letting go of things.C．Trying to understanding everything.D．Working out mysteries.23．What message is mainly conveyed in the passage?A．We should find more fun from classics.B．Reading classics is a personal exploration.C．Experts need to give readers better guidance.D．Classic literature benefits readers a great deal.Ⅲ.语法填空(2019·重庆4月调研)Translated fiction sales in the United Kingdom 24. (rise) 5.5 percent last year，with growing demand for Chinese titles，said Nielsen Book on Wednesday.British newspaper The Guardian featured Liu Cixin’s The Three-Body Problem and JinYong’s A Hero Born in its report on this trend,25.

(2014·天津模拟)I heard many parents complaining that their teenage children are rebelling(叛逆). I wish it were so. At your age you ought to be growing away from your parents. You should be learning to stand on your own feet. But take a good look at the present rebellion. It seems that teenagers are taking the same way of showing that they disagree with their parents. Instead of striking out boldly on their own, most of them are clutching(紧握)at one another’s hands for reassurance(安慰).They claim they want to dress as they please. But they all wear the same clothes. Then set off in new directions in music. But somehow they all end up with listening to the same record together. Their reason for thinking or acting in thus-and-such a way is that many people are doing it. They have come out of their cocoon(茧)into a larger cocoon.It has become harder and harder for a teenager to stand up against the popularity wave and go his or her own way. Industry has firmly carved out a teenage market. These days every teenager can learn from the advertisements what a teenager should have and be.And many of today’s parents have come to award high marks for the popularity of their children. All this adds to a great barrier(障碍)for the teenager who wants to find his or her own path.But the barrier is worth climbing over. The path is worth following. You may want to listen to classical music instead of going to a party. You may want to collect rocks when everyone else is collecting records. You may have some thoughts that you don’t care to sh are with your classmates at once, well, go to it. Find yourself. Popularity will come with the people who respect you for who you are. That is the only kind of popularity that really counts.【文章大意】本文鼓励青少年要有自己的思维, 不要依赖父母或随波逐流。

课时质量评价(十三)必修第三册UNIT 2 MORALS AND VIRTUES题型组合练——阅读理解＋完形填空＋应用文写作Ⅰ. 阅读理解(2022·江苏南京调研)I wonder if I'm getting to be transparent. I can see waiters, but they can't see me. Ticket agents look right through me at the person next in line. I have the same feeling when I try to catch the attention of salesgirls, taxi drivers and my wife.I'm substantial enough, maybe a little too substantial in places. And there's an undeniable air of authority about the way I stride (阔步行走) into a restaurant, pull my necktie into place and signal the headwaiter. The headwaiter's glance sweeps my way, then comes to rest on a section of flowered wallpaper directly behind me. He considers it for a moment, and looks away. Five minutes later I manage to catch his eye. He strides in my direction, takes a menu from the pile at my elbow (肘；肘部) and walks back across the room. Another 10 minutes pass, and our eyes meet headon. His face lights up and he hurries towards me, saying to the couple right beside me, “This way, please.”Maybe I could arouse interest by pulling off the tablecloth. Maybe the best plan is to get up and start out of the restaurant without paying — a trick which never fails to earn me the whole attention of every waiter in the place.On the other hand, people have no trouble making me out when I don't want them to. I never can avoid a friend who has been having a little bad luck lately and who would like to borrow some money. I'll spot him half a block away, and cross the street to the other side. He crosses at the same time. I stop and stare at a store window until he has passed, but his eye encounters mine in the reflection of the glass.I lend him the money, but from the moment on he can't see me.【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。

On an individual level, we grow up eating the food of our culture. It becomes a part of who we are. Many of us associate food from our childhood with warm feelings and good memories and it ties us to our families, holding a special and personal value for us. Food from our family often becomes the comfort food we seek as adults in times of frustration and stress.On a large scale, traditional food is an important part of culture. It also operates as an expression of culture identity. Immigrants bring it wherever they go, and it is a symbol of pride for their culture and means of coping with homesickness.Many immigrants open their own restaurants and serve traditional dishes. However, the food does not remain exactly the same. Some materials needed to make traditional dishes may not be readily available, so the taste and flavor can be different from what they would prepare in their home countries. Additionally, immigrants do not only sell dishes to people from the same countries as them, but to people from different countries. Therefore, they have to make small changes about the original dishes to cater to a wider range of customers. Those changes can create new flavors that still keep the cultural significance of the dishes.We should not only embrace our heritage (遗产) through our culture’s food but also become more informed about other cultures by trying their food. It is important to remember that each dish has a special place in the culture to which it belongs, and is special to those who prepare it. Food is a window into culture, and it should be treated as such.5．What’s the function of food mentioned in the article?A．To help motivate homesickness.B．To show national identity.C．To reflect a country’s history.D．To show a community’s superiority.6．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A．The specific traditional food.B．The national culture.C．A traditional expression of food.D．The old-fashioned taste.7．Why do some immigrants have to change the original dishes in their restaurants?A．To attach cultural importance to their dishes.B．To announce the beginning of their life on foreign soil.C．To make the dishes popular among customers.D．To present their own food culture in a new way.8．What’s he author’s attitude toward different food cultures?A．Negative.B．Balanced.C．Unfair. D．Unchangeable.CAlong with the progress of reform and opening up, the Chinese film industry has also made remarkable achievements and become in a flourishing (繁荣的) state in economic growth. It has recorded social changes in the past decades through the medium of the film. The film market of China has been much better than that of North America, becoming the largest in the world during the first season of 2019.In the original stage of reform and opening up, old Chinese movies were rescreen ed and foreign movies dubbed (译制). Audiences' enthusiasm for movies was lighted up by both these practices. In 1979, the attendance ofChinese moviegoers reached a record high of 29.3 billion. However, televisions and other entertainment activities sprang up in the late 1980s and drew many audiences away from movies when the film market faced a danger.The employment of a socialist market economy in China in 1992 brought energy again to the film industry. With the introduction of free competition and reforms, it made an abundant recovery and experienced rapid growth. In the same period, China began to introduce overseas movies into the home market, especially those from Hollywood. Despite the argument that foreign movies occupy the space of home-made ones, Chinese movies with increasingly higher quality have gained a firm foothold in the local market with box offices setting several new records.The development of the Internet has added new energy to the Chinese film industry. In 2015, the powerful Internet companies, one called Tencent and another Alibaba, developed their own film arm and began to adapt popular online stories for movies. With big data, more accurate marketing skills can target specific audiences to satisfy their personal preferences. Yet the development of online cinemas may pose threats to the survival of offline ones. Now the film industry is exploring more advanced film screening technologies to provide audiences with an improved movie experience.9．Which threat did the Chinese film market face in the late 1980s?A．Popularity of televisions.B．Development of online cinemas.C．A slowdown in economic growth.D．Introduction of overseas movies.10．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to?A．The space of Chinese movies.B．The Chinese film industry.C．The socialist market economy.D．The introduction of reform and opening up.11．What does the author indicate in the end?A．Online cinemas will replace traditional ones sooner.B．The film screening technology is key to films' success.C．The Internet is a two-edged sword for the film industry.D．Movies made by Tencent and Alibaba are most successful.12．What would be the best title for the text?A．The Ever-changing Film MarketB．Popular Online FilmsC．Advanced Film TechnologiesD．Flourishing Chinese Films答案A语篇解读：不是一定要有很多钱才能帮助别人，我们也可以从小处做起。
