　　(2024·東北三省三校二聯(lián))

　　The stories we share with one another are important. They show wisdom and provide inspiration. They are important to our development. But sometimes people choose not to tell.

　　Consider the negative effects of not sharing a story in the news: People are wondering if public health officials are holding back too much information about the recent outbreak of Ebola.

　　There is a danger in holding back stories that ought to be told. Bobette Buster said it like this, “The fact is, history has shown us that stories not told can become like a dangerous genie (妖怪) left in a bottle. When they are finally uncorked,_their power to destroy is set free.”

　　There are a number of reasons why we hide parts of our story: they often show our weaknesses or expose our disadvantages；they require courage and strength to share; and of course, there are some stories that should be kept secret—especially those that embarrass someone else.

　　Most of us have two selves: the one we display on the outside and the one we actually are on the inside. And the better we get at hiding the stories that show our true selves, the more damage we may be causing to ourselves and to others.

　　Honesty and openness is important：It proves we are trustworthy. It displays we are human. We are not perfect or better. It highlights the importance of hard work and personal development. Hard work may not allow us to overcome our disadvantages completely. But with hard work, we do not have to be restricted to our mistakes.

　　Does this mean we admit every weakness, every disadvant-age and every secret regret to everybody we meet? No, of course not. There is a time and a place and a certain level of relationship necessary for some stories to be told in an appropriate manner.

　　語(yǔ)篇解讀：本文為議論文。本文作者論證了人們之間彼此分享自身經(jīng)歷的重要性。

　　1．What's the function of the example in Paragraph 2?

　　A．It reflects that people are concerned about the spread of Ebola.

　　B．It shows the bad effect caused by sharing a story.

　　C．At proves not sharing a story can cause trouble.

　　D．It concludes that one should share a story at a proper time.

　　答案：C　推理判斷題。文章第一段告訴讀者分享經(jīng)歷很重要；第二段介紹資訊封鎖的負(fù)面影響也是通過(guò)證明不分享消息帶來(lái)的麻煩從反面來(lái)說(shuō)明論點(diǎn)，故答案為C項(xiàng)。

　　2．One of the reasons why people are unwilling to share experiences is that ________.

　　A．story-sharing highlights the importance of hard work

　　B．people are used to exposing their weaknesses

　　C．people sometimes have no courage to share their stories

　　D．some stories make themselves feel uneasy

　　答案：C　事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)第四段中“they often show our weaknesses or expose our disadvantages；they require courage and strength to share”可知人們之所以不愿意和別人分享自己的經(jīng)歷是因?yàn)樗麄內(nèi)狈τ職猓蚀鸢笧镃項(xiàng)。

　　3．Which is close in meaning to the underlined word “uncorked” in Paragraph 3?

　　A．Freed. B．Broken.

　　C．Unfolded. D．Untouched.

　　答案：A　猜測(cè)詞義題。這里將被封鎖的消息比作裝在瓶子里的妖怪，一旦將瓶子打開(kāi)，它們的破壞力就會(huì)被釋放出來(lái)。由此可知答案為A項(xiàng)。

　　4．The writer aims to convince us to ________.

　　A．be open to people close to us by sharing some secrets

　　B．share stories appropriately for the good of others and ourselves

　　C．remove the dangers that can be caused by untold stories

　　D．realize the importance of being honest when making friends

　　答案：B　推理判斷題。通讀全文尤其是第五段中的第二句“And the better we get at hiding the stories that show our true selves, the more damage we may be causing to ourselves and to others.”及文章最后一句可知作者寫這篇文章的目的是說(shuō)服我們?yōu)榱俗约汉退藨?yīng)適當(dāng)分享自己的經(jīng)歷。

　　B

　　(2024·黑龍江哈三中三模)

　　Two new studies suggest that modern running shoes could increase the risk of injuries to runners.

　　One study involved sixty-eight healthy young women and men who ran at least twenty-four kilometers a week. The runners were observed on a treadmill machine (跑步機(jī)). Sometimes they wore running shoes. Other times they ran barefoot (赤腳)．

　　Researchers from the JKM Technologies Company in Virginia, the University of Virginia and the University of Colorado did the study.

　　They found that running shoes create more stress that could damage knees, hips and ankle joints than running barefoot. They observed that the effect was even greater than the effect reported earlier for walking in high heels.

　　The study appeared in the official scientific journal of The American Academy of Physical Medicine.

　　The other study appeared in the journal Nature. It compared runners in the United States and Kenya. The researchers were from Harvard University in Massachusetts, Moi University in Kenya and the University of Glasgow in Scotland.

　　They divided the runners into three groups. One group had always run shoeless. Another group bad always run with shoes. And the third group had changed to shoeless running.

　　Runners who wear shoes usually come down their heel first. That puts great force on the back of the foot. But the study found that barefoot runners generally land on the front or middle of their foot. That way they ease into their landing and avoid striking their heel.

　　Harvard's Daniel Lieberman led the study. He says the way most running shoes are designed may explain why those who wear them land on their heel. The heel of the shoe is bigger and heavier than other parts of the shoe, so it would seem more likely to come down first. Also, the heel generally has thick material under it to soften landings.

　　But the researchers do not suggest that runners immediately start running barefoot. They say it takes some training. And there can be risks, like running when your feet are too cold to feel if you get injured.

　　The study was partly supported by Vibrato, which makes a kind of footwear that it says is like running barefoot. The findings have gotten a lot of attention. But the researchers say there are many problems in the way the press has reported in their paper. So they have tried to explain their findings on a Harvard Website.

　　語(yǔ)篇解讀：本文是一篇說(shuō)明文。一項(xiàng)新的研究表明，穿著跑鞋跑步其實(shí)對(duì)身體并不好，赤腳跑步反而可以在一定程度上避免奔跑帶來(lái)的損傷。

　　5．What's the main idea of the passage?

　　A．Walking in high heels could cause less serious effects than running barefoot.

　　B．Two new discoveries encourage people to run in high heels.

　　C．Running in shoes is partly good to runners.

　　D．Two new studies prove running without shoes is less risky to runners in most cases.

　　答案：D　主旨大意題。第一段“Two new studies suggest that modern running shoes could increase the risk of injuries to runners?！秉c(diǎn)出了文章的主題：穿跑鞋跑步會(huì)增加受傷的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)。在下文的試驗(yàn)中多次提到赤腳跑步的損傷較小。由此可推斷本文的主旨大意是赤腳跑步對(duì)運(yùn)動(dòng)員來(lái)說(shuō)風(fēng)險(xiǎn)較小。故選D項(xiàng)。

　　6．Which part of our body could be injured if we run in running shoes?

　　A．Toes. B．Hips.

　　C．Feet. D．Legs.

　　答案：B　細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段第一句“They found that running shoes create more stress that could damage knees，hips and ankle joints than running barefoot.”可知，應(yīng)選B項(xiàng)。

　　7．What can we learn from the passage?

　　A．The way that we run by landing on the front or middle of our foot could avoid damaging our heel.

　　B．We should start running barefoot in no time.

　　C．Running in modern running shoes could cause more serious effects than running in high heels.

　　D．We won't be injured if we run barefoot.

　　答案：A　推理判斷題。根據(jù)第八段第三至四句“But the study found that barefoot runners generally land on the front or middle of their foot.That way they ease into their landing and avoid striking their heel.”可知，赤腳跑步是前腳掌先落地，這樣可以避免給腳后跟造成更多的壓力。故A項(xiàng)正確。

　　8．What is the writer's attitude toward the use of the modern running shoes?

　　A．Persuasive. B．Negative.

　　C．Objective. D．Supportive.

　　答案：C　推理判斷題。通篇文章作者都在引用研究結(jié)果和專家意見(jiàn)，故只是在客觀陳述事實(shí)，而沒(méi)有發(fā)表個(gè)人意見(jiàn)。故選C項(xiàng)。

　　Ⅱ.完形填空

　　Long long ago, there was a small village. This village had a __1__ tradition. At the beginning of every year, any boy who had reached the age of majority (成年) was given land and money to build a home. The boy had to __2__ his home before winter. If his home failed to endure the cold weather in winter, the villagers could not __3__ him in any way.

　　We all build and improve our own mental homes. It's __19__ and fun for us to search for ideas from other mental home owners, but we only improve our own mental home if we actually __20__ the best ideas.

　　語(yǔ)篇解讀：本文通過(guò)一個(gè)故事告訴我們，無(wú)論是精神世界還是物質(zhì)世界，一些想法的尋找是簡(jiǎn)單的，但是想法的運(yùn)用卻是另外一回事。

　　1．A.strange B．hopeful

　　C．literary

　　D．cultural

　　答案：A　句意為：很久很久以前，有一個(gè)小村莊有著一個(gè)奇怪的傳統(tǒng)。每到年初，已成年的男孩就會(huì)拿到一塊地和資金(自己動(dòng)手)去修建自己的房屋。strange意為“奇怪的”；hopeful意為“有希望的”；literary意為“文藝的，書本的”；cultural意為“文化的”。根據(jù)下句“At the beginning of every year，any boy who had reached the age of majority(成年)was given land and money to build a home.”對(duì)這個(gè)傳統(tǒng)的描述可知這個(gè)傳統(tǒng)很獨(dú)特，故A項(xiàng)符合語(yǔ)境。

　　2．A.find

　　B．make

　　C．complete

　　D．buy

　　答案：C　根據(jù)語(yǔ)境可知此處表示在冬天到來(lái)前就要完成房屋的修建，所以用complete“完成”，故C項(xiàng)正確。倒數(shù)第三段第三句“By fall，Marc had finished his home.”中也有同義詞出現(xiàn)：finish，據(jù)此也可知答案。

　　3．A.help

　　B．encourage

　　C．scold

　　D．persuade

　　答案：A　help意為“幫助”；encourage意為“鼓勵(lì)”；scold意為“責(zé)罵”；persuade意為“說(shuō)服，勸說(shuō)”。倒數(shù)第三段中“The first snow came and Paul，realizing he was running out of time，__14__back to his land.”說(shuō)到，保羅由于修建的房子不好，被凍死了，人們都來(lái)哀悼他，但沒(méi)有幫助他度過(guò)寒冬，由此可以看出，在這一奇怪的傳統(tǒng)中，別人是不能提供幫助的，所以選help。

　　4．A.winter

　　B．summer

　　C．a(chǎn)utumn

　　D．spring

　　答案：D　根據(jù)第一段第三句“At the beginning of every year...”可知成年的男孩是在每年的年初拿到一塊地和資金的，故此處D項(xiàng)spring“春天”符合語(yǔ)境。

　　5．A.exchanged

　　B．received

　　C．recognized

　　D．a(chǎn)dvised

　　答案：B　exchange意為“交換”；receive意為“收到”；recognize意為“認(rèn)出，承認(rèn)”；advise意為“建議，忠告”。根據(jù)第一段第三句中“...was given land and money to build a home.”可知被給予土地和資金，故此處用主動(dòng)形式表示他們收到，故B項(xiàng)正確。

　　6．A.girls

　　B．jobs

　　C．houses

　　D．presents

　　答案：C　根據(jù)上文可知他們要建的是房子，這是在外出考察，自然是找最好的房子和房主交談以獲得如何建好房子的建議，故C項(xiàng)正確。文中也有多處同義詞home的復(fù)現(xiàn)。

　　7．A.rooms

　　B．drinks

　　C．a(chǎn)ttention

　　D．a(chǎn)dvice

　　答案：D　根據(jù)下一段中“Soon he had so many great ideas that he began to __10__some of them.”中的idea可推斷此處表示每一位房主都很樂(lè)意提供給他們(關(guān)于如何建好房子的)建議，故D項(xiàng)advice正確。

　　8．A.expected

　　B．gathered

　　C．created

　　D．understood

　　答案：B　expect意為“期待，預(yù)期”；gather意為“搜集”；create意為“創(chuàng)造”；understand意為“理解”。根據(jù)此空后的“the best ideas”和第9空后的“continued collecting more ideas”可知此處表示馬克參觀了幾棟房子，把房主們提供的建議搜集起來(lái)，故B項(xiàng)正確。

　　9．A.similarly

　　B．finally

　　C．however

　　D．furthermore

　　答案：C　similarly意為“同樣地，類似于”；finally意為“最后，終于”；however意為“然而”；furthermore意為“此外，而且”。根據(jù)語(yǔ)境可知馬克開(kāi)始建房，而保羅卻仍在繼續(xù)搜集如何建房的建議，兩者之間是轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系，故C項(xiàng)正確。

　　10．A.forget

　　B．believe

　　C．replace

　　D．doubt

　　答案：A　forget意為“忘記”；believe意為“認(rèn)為，相信”；replace意為“代替”；doubt意為“懷疑”。根據(jù)下一句“But he always believed he could find even better ideas in the next village.”可知此處表示由于搜集的好的修建房屋的建議太多了，以至于忘了一部分，故A項(xiàng)正確。

　　11．A.fine

　　B．a(chǎn)mazing

　　C．false

　　D．rapid

　　答案：C　fine意為“好的”；amazing意為“令人驚奇的”；false意為“錯(cuò)誤的”；rapid意為“迅速的”。根據(jù)“He had several __11__ starts和his home gradually rose from his land”之間是轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系，可知開(kāi)始時(shí)并不理想，故C項(xiàng)正確。

　　12．A.repair

　　B．rebuild

　　C．sell

　　D．improve

　　答案：D　repair意為“修理，修建”；rebuild意為“重建，改造”；sell意為“銷售”；improve意為“改善，增加”。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段第二句“Each year，Marc searched for other good ideas he could use to make his own home look better.”中的“make his own home look better”可知他所修的房子可以在建成后隨時(shí)改良，故D項(xiàng)正確。
