　　C7 [2024·廣東卷]

　　Imagination and fantasy can play an important role in achieving the things we fear.Children know this very well. Fred Epstein，in his book If I Make It to Five，tells a story he heard from one of his friends about Tom，a four－year－old boy with a cancer in his back bone.He came through several operations and a lot of pain by mastering his imagination.

　　Tom loved to pretend，and he particularly loved to play superheroes. Dr. Epstein explained that it was actually a brilliant way for his young mind to handle the terrifying and painful life he led.

　　The day before his third trip to the operating room，Tom was terribly afraid.“Maybe I could go as Superman，”he whispered to his mom.Hearing this, the mother hesitated for a while.She had avoided buying the expensive costume(戲裝)，but finally she agreed.

　　The next day Tom appeared as the powerful Superman，showing off through the hospital halls and coolly waving his hand to the people greeting him along the way.And Tom，with the strength of his fantasy，successfully made it through the operation.

　　The power of imagination need not be reserved for children only.We all have the power to use our fantasies to attempt things we never thought possible，to go through those things that seem impossible，and to achieve what we never believed we could. Just as Dr.Epstein puts it，“If you can dream it，you can do it.”

　　It doesn't mean that you should dress as a superhero for your next job interview.But，next time you are tested in a way that seems impossible, imagine what it would take to overcome it.Become the person you need to become to win over your challenge and do it in your mind first.So，let your imagination run wild，and dare to dream.

　　26．What do we know about Tom?

　　A．He was seriously ill.

　　B．He was a dishonest boy.

　　C．He was crazy about magic.

　　D．He was Dr.Epstein's patient.

　　27．What can be inferred about Tom's mother?

　　A．She was a rich lady.

　　B．She refused Tom's request.

　　C．She wanted Tom to be a superhero.

　　D．She wanted to get Tom through the pain.

　　28．When Tom went for the third operation，he ________．

　　A．pretended to be painful

　　B．acted like a superhero

　　C．appeared in poor spirits

　　D．argued with his mother

　　29．In the last paragraph，you are advised ________．

　　A．to go through some difficult tests

　　B．to wake up from your wild dreams

　　C．to become a powerful person in your mind

　　D．to wear expensive clothes for job interviews

　　30．What is the purpose of the passage?

　　A．To tell us an interesting story.

　　B．To help us make right decisions.

　　C．To advise us to care about children.

　　D．To encourage us to use our imagination.

　　【要點綜述】文章告訴我們，面對苦難和挑戰，要充分發揮想象力的作用，使自己內心強大起來，夢想才能實現。

　　26．A　細節理解題。由第一段的“Tom，a four－year－old boy with a cancer in his back bone.He came through several operations…”可知，Tom 病得很厲害。

　　27．D　推理判斷題。由第四段的“And Tom, with the strength of his fantasy，successfully made it through the operation.”可以看出，Tom的媽媽答應兒子的要求，就是想幫兒子減少手術的痛苦感。其他選項可以這樣排除：由第三段的“She had avoided buying the expensive costume(戲裝)，but finally she agreed.”可以看出A和B錯誤；C項可以由常識排除。

　　28．B 　細節理解題。由第四段的“The next day Tom appeared as the powerful Superman, showing off through the hospital halls and coolly waving his hand to the people greeting him along the way.”可知當時他的行為和超人一樣。故選B。

　　29．C 　推理判斷題。這是對前面所講述的故事的升華，故事中小Tom用自己的想象力戰勝了痛苦，作者在這里也建議我們面對困難時要“need to become to win over your challenge and do it in your mind first.”還要“let your imagination run wild, and dare to dream.”由此可見，C項符合題意。

　　30．D 　寫作目的題。文章開篇點題：Imagination

　　and

　　fantasy

　　can

　　play

　　an important role in achieving the things we fear.告訴我們想象力的重要性，然后通過一個具體的例子加以論證。最后一段中作者又鼓勵我們在挑戰和困難面前使用想象力，使自己內心強大起來，故選D。

　　C7 [2024·廣東卷]

　　Some people think that success is only for those with talent or those who grow up in the right family，and others believe that success mostly comes down to luck.I'm not going to say luck，talent，and circumstances don't come into play because they do.Some people are born into the right family while others are born with great intelligence，and that's just the reality of how life is.

　　However，to succeed in life，one first needs to set a goal and then gradually make it more practical.And，in addition to that，in order to get really good at something，one needs to spend at least 10，000 hours studying and practising.To become great at certain things，it'll require even more time，time that most people won't put in.

　　This is a big reason why many successful people advise you to do something you love. If you don't enjoy what you do，it is going to feel like unbearable pain and will likely make you quit well before you ever become good at it.

　　When you see people exhibiting some great skills or having achieved great success，you know that they have put in a huge part of their life to get there at a huge cost.It's sometimes easy to think they got lucky or they were born with some rare talent，but thinking that way does you no good，and there's a huge chance that you're wrong anyway.

　　Whatever you do，if you want to become great at it, you need to work day in and day out，almost to the point of addiction，and over a long period of time.If you're not willing to put in the time and work，don't expect to receive any rewards.Consistent, hard work won't guarantee you the level of success you may want, but it will guarantee that you will become really good at whatever it is you put all that work into.

　　31．Paragraph 1 mainly talks about ________．

　　A．the reasons for success

　　B．the meaning of success

　　C．the standards of success

　　D．the importance of success

　　32．In Paragraph 2，the underlined word that refers to ________．

　　A．being good at something

　　B．setting a practical goal

　　C．putting in more time

　　D．succeeding in life

　　33．Successful people suggest doing what one loves because ________．

　　A．work makes one feel pain

　　B．one tends to enjoy his work

　　C．one gives up his work easily

　　D．it takes a lot of time to succeed

　　34．What can we infer from Paragraph 4?

　　A．Successful people like to show their great skills.

　　B．People sometimes succeed without luck or talent.

　　C．People need to achieve success at the cost of life.

　　D．It helps to think that luck or talent leads to success.

　　35．What is the main theme of the passage?

　　A．Having a goal is vital to success.

　　B．Being good is different from being great.

　　C．One cannot succeed without time and practice.

　　D．Luck，talent and family help to achieve success.

　　【要點綜述】人人都渴望成功，成功有時或許和天賦、運氣和家境有關，但是缺少了長期辛勤的付出，成功就會成為無稽之談。

　　31．A 　段落大意題。這一部分向我們分析了一個人成功的因素：luck, talent, and circumstances。

　　32．B 　代詞指代題。上一句說的是要想成功需要做的第一個方面：“set a goal…make it more practical”。由此可知答案。

　　33．D　細節理解題。題干關鍵詞為：Successful people suggest(對應文章中的advise)。第三段的第一句話 “This is a big reason why many successful people advise you to do something you love.”中的this，就是指的上文的“To become great at certain things, it'll require even more time, time that most people won't put in.”由此可知答案。

　　34．B　推理判斷題。在這一段里作者告訴我們：It's sometimes easy to think they got lucky or they were born with some rare talent，但接著又說：but thinking that way does you no good。由此可以看出，有時候人的成功是靠運氣和天賦的，但是如果我們這樣認為對我們是沒有好處的。由此可推知答案。

　　35．C　主旨大意題?？v觀全文可以看出，文章首先向我們分析了成功的因素，怎樣才能成功，同時也剖析了對成功的一些錯誤的認識，最后一段總結全文，概括了主題，告訴我們成功需要日復一日(work day in and day out, almost to the point of addiction, and over a long period of time)的努力和辛勤的工作(hard work)。由此可知答案。

　　[2024·湖北卷]

　　Mothers and daughters go through so much—yet when was the last time a mother and daughter sat down to write a book together about it all? Perri Klass and her mother, Sheila Solomon Klass, both gifted professional writers, prove to be ideal co－writers as they examine their decades of motherhood, daughterhood, and the wonderful ways their lives have overlapped (重疊)．

　　Perri notes with amazement how closely her own life has mirrored her mother's: both have full－time careers; both have published books, articles, and stories; each has three children; they both love to read.They also love to travel—in fact, they often take trips together.But in truth, the harder they look at their lives, the more they acknowledge their big differences in circumstance and basic nature.

　　A child of the Depression (大蕭條), Sheila was raised in Brooklyn by parents who considered education a luxury for girls.Starting with her college education, she has fought for everything she's ever accomplished.Perri, on the other hand, grew up privileged in the New Jersey suburbs of the 1960s and 1970s.For Sheila, wasting time or money is a crime, and luxury is unthinkable while Perri enjoys the occasional small luxury, but has not been successful at trying to persuade her mother into enjoying even the tiniest thing she likes.

　　Each writing in her own unmistakable voice, Perri and Sheila take turns exploring the joys and pains, the love and bitterness, the minor troubles and lasting respect that have always bonded them together.Sheila describes the adventure of giving birth to Perri in a tiny town in Trinidad where her husband was doing research fieldwork.Perri admits that she can't sort out all the mess in the households, even though she knows it drives her mother crazy.Together they compare thoughts on bringing up children and working, admit long－hidden sorrows, and enjoy precious memories.

　　Looking deep into the lives they have lived separately and together, Perri and Sheila tell their mother－daughter story with honesty, humor, enthusiasm, and admiration for each other.A written account in two voices, Every Mother Is a Daughter is a duet (二重奏) that produces a deep, strong sound with the experiences that all mothers and daughters will recognize.

　　55．Why does Perri think that her own life has mirrored her mother's?

　　A．They both have gone through difficult times.

　　B．They have strong emotional ties with each other.

　　C．They have the same joys and pains, and love and bitterness.

　　D．They both have experiences as daughter, mother and writer.

　　56．The word “luxury” in Paragraph 3 means ________．

　　A．something rare but not pleasant

　　B．something that cannot be imagined

　　C．something expensive but not necessary

　　D．something that can only be enjoyed by boys

　　57．What is Paragraph 4 mainly about?

　　A．The content of the book.

　　B．The purpose of the book.

　　C．The influence of the book.

　　D．The writing style of the book.

　　58．How are women's lives explored in this book?

　　A．In a musical form.

　　B．Through field research.

　　C．With unique writing skills.

　　D．From different points of view.

　　【要點綜述】本文是一篇記敘文，主要講述了母女二人合作寫書。因為兩人都有母親、女兒的身份以及重疊的生活等，她們從各自的角度描繪了她們之間的母女關系。

　　55．D 　細節理解題。根據第一段的最后一句以及第二段的前半部分可知，母女二人在身份上、職業上都有著很多的共同之處，因此女兒的生活就可以反映媽媽的生活。故D正確。

　　56．C 　詞義猜測題。根據畫線單詞前的“the Depression”以及下文的“luxury is unthinkable”可知它的意思是“奢侈”，即很貴的但沒必要的東西。故C正確。

　　57．A 　段落大意題。根據第四段中的“…exploring the joys and pains, the love and bitterness…”可知，第四段主要介紹了本書的內容。故A正確。

　　58．D 　推理判斷題。根據最后一段中的“A written account in two voices…”可知，母女二人是從不同的視角寫這本書的。故D正確。

　　[2024·湖北卷]

　　We've reached a strange—some would say unusual—point.While fighting world hunger continues to be the matter of vital importance according to a recent report from the World Health Organization (WHO), more people now die from being overweight, or say, from being extremely fat, than from being underweight.It's the good life that's more likely to kill us these days.

　　Worse, nearly 18 million children under the age of five around the world are estimated to be overweight.What's going on?

　　We really don't have many excuses for our weight problems.The dangers of the problem have been drilled into us by public－health campaigns since 2001 and the message is getting through—up to a point.

　　In the 1970s, Finland, for example, had the highest rate of heart disease in the world and being overweight was its main cause.Not any more.A public－health campaign has greatly reduced the number of heart disease deaths by 80 per cent over the past three decades.

　　Maybe that explains why the percentage of people in Finland taking diet pills doubled between 2001 and 2005, and doctors even offer surgery of removing fat inside and change the shape of the body.That has become a sort of fashion.No wonder it ranks as the world's most body－conscious country.

　　We know what we should be doing to lose weight—but actually doing it is another matter.By far the most popular excuse is not taking enough exercise.More than half of us admit we lack willpower.

　　Others blame good food.They say: it's just too inviting and it makes them overeat.Still others lay the blame on the Americans, complaining that pounds have piled on thanks to eating too much American－style fast food.

　　Some also blame their parents—their genes.But unfortunately, the parents are wronged because they're normal in shape, or rather slim.

　　It's a similar story around the world, although people are relatively unlikely to have tried to lose weight.Parents are eager to see their kids shape up.Do as I say—not as I do.

　　59．What is the “strange” point mentioned in the first sentence?

　　A．The good life is a greater risk than the bad life.

　　B．Starvation is taking more people's lives in the world.

　　C．WHO report shows people's unawareness of food safety.

　　D．Overweight issue remains unresolved despite WHO's efforts.
