(时间:分钟)维A 阅读理解(每题2分,满分8分)(2024·安徽卷)In Asia,there are special competitions where kites have complex designs and are fitted with instruments that make musical sounds as the wind blows through them.Although all kites have a similar structure (结构),they are widely different in size and shape.Kitefighting competitions are also held,in which competitors use their kites to attack and bring down their opponents'(对手) kites or cut their strings(线).
For more than 15 years,the Big Wind Kite Factory has been giving kitemaking and kiteflying classes for the children on an island in Hawaii.In its kitemaking lessons,students can make kites in as little as 20 minutes!Children as young as four years old can learn how to fly a kite.Jonathan Socher and his wife Daphne started the kite factory in 1980.Their kites are made of nylon(尼龙).Their designs are Hawaiian themes created by Daphne.The designs are cut out of the nylon with a hot knife that seals the edges and then fastened directly onto the kite.
The kite that is used to give lessons is a regular diamond kite with a rainbow pattern.The difference between this kite and the ones they make during the lessons is that it is a twostring controllable kite.Big Wind employees fly the kite and for a few minutes show students how pulling on one line and then on the other controls the direction the kite goes in.Then the controls are given to the students.
Jonathan insists that it is not necessary to make a huge impressive kite to have fun making and flying kites.Even the simplest structure can work,and can give hours of fun.Go on,give it a try!
【语篇解读】 一家风筝厂15年来一直坚持为夏威夷一座岛屿上的孩子开设制作风筝和放风筝的课程。
1.Which of the following is true according to the text?
A.A hot knife is used to iron the nylon.
B.Children never fly kites on their own in flying lessons.
C.Kite strings must not be cut in kitefighting competitions.
D.Daphne designs kites for the Big Wind Kite Factory.
答案D[考查细节理解。根据第二段最后一句可知,使用加热过的刀是切割尼龙,而不是熨烫尼龙,故A错。B项与第三段最后一句“Then the controls are given to the students.”相悖。根据第一段最后一句可知C项错误。由第二段倒数第二句和倒数第四句可知D项表述正确。]
2.What is different about the kite used for flying lessons?
A.It has two strings.
B.It is simple in design.
C.It has a rainbow pattern.

3.According to Jonathan,what do you need to have fun with kites?
A.A large kite.
B.Any type of kite.
C.A complex structure.
D.A kite that impresses others.
答案B[考查推理判断。最后一段表明的是Jonathan的观点。根据他的观点可推知,他认为即使构造最简单的风筝也可以给你带来快乐,不一定非要制作大而华丽的风筝,故选B。]
4.What is mainly described in the text?
A.A kite factory.
B.Kiteflying lessons.
C.Special competitions.
D.The kitemaking process.
答案A[考查主旨大意。通读全文可知,本文主要介绍了一家风筝厂15年来一直坚持为夏威夷一座岛屿上的孩子开设制作风筝和放风筝的课程,故选A。B、C、D三项只是文章的细节,并不是主旨。]

Just weeks after a fire roared
through
her apartment complex,Jessica Arias was looking on the bright side.Arias says she has plenty to be thankful for—she is already living in a new place,working on replacing her wardrobe and belongings.
Arias was among the 32 residents displaced by a kitchen fire that spread through the Radcliffe Apartments at 366 W.Olive Ave,on the morning of Oct.28,damaging 17 units.
Things looked bleak for Arias on the day of the fire,when she first spoke to the Sunnyvale Sun,but within the past few weeks,Arias has managed to turn her file around.Just a few days before Thanksgiving,she talked about what it has been like to rebuild her life.
“At least I have my health,and that is what is most important,” says Arias,31,who escaped the flames that morning with her purse,cell phone and a handful of important documents.
As the fire turned her belongings to ash,she stood on the opposite side of the street looking on.During the fire,Arias called her coworker Charli Freeman,who jumped in her truck and immediately drove to be by Arias' side.“It wasn't even a conscious thought,” Freeman said.“I didn't want her to be by herself.” Arias is from the East Coast and does not have family in California,but friends and coworkers came to the rescue.
As word spread through her office,coworkers dug into their pockets and collected money to help Arias get back on her feet.Two women from her workplace took Arias the money that day,along with a jacket from a coworker to keep her warm while she stood outside.They also brought her photos of her boyfriend for comfort.
Note:
bleak adj. 阴暗的
【语篇解读】 本文是记叙文。大火无情人有情,大火使Arias几乎失去所有财产,但同事们的帮助使她重新振作起来了。

维D 根据短文内容,从下框的A~F选项中选出能概括每一段主题的最佳选项。选项中有一项为多余项。(每题2分,满分10分)
Ways to Motivate Others
1.
As a leader you need to treat the people helping you with the most respect and kindness.Hand out your praise when it's necessary.You might not know it,but it's a big motivation booster(助推器) when people are treated right.People enjoy knowing when they're doing a good job and enjoy working with people that treat others with kindness.
2.
If there are certain tasks that you're allowed to delegate to others,by all means choose someone to take responsibility for that task.When people are fully responsible,they'll be more likely to find the motivation to complete the task.This is because,as a part of a group,they may not feel like their hard work matters,but when they're responsible it certainly matters.They also know that they're being held accountable for the success or failure of the project.
3.
Think long and hard about how your goal setting abilities can teach you how to motivate others.You don't want to set goals that are too easy.Your team might reach them quickly but they won't be pushed to become the best they can be.On the other end,you don't want to set goals that are unattainable (无法实现的) either.Your team will quickly lose motivation because they'll never get the feeling of having met their goals.You want to find a goal that would push them to achieve just a little more than they have in the past and keep going from there.
