Ⅰ.完形填空
(2024·汕头质检)A friend of mine met with an accident driving in darkness.His legs were so hurt that he couldn't move.What was the worst was he found himself unable to ask for help—his mobile phone went out of __1__as a result of exhausted battery.Nothing could be done but to __2__in cold wilderness.It was 8 hours later that day broke,and then the __3__of the rescue.
It was almost __4__that he could stand the horror in the darkness for so long.Even more surprising was his __5__:“First of all I checked up my physical conditions and found myself not in mortal (必死的) danger.As there was no __6__ to call for help,I leaned back in my seat trying my best to keep the wound from bleeding.In this way I dozed (打盹) off.”
His story put an end to my regret for the __7__of an exploration adventure that happened last year.A group of young men tried to explore a mountain cave and got lost.__8__ to find a way out in the dark cave.They were frightened and ran anxiously without a sense of __9__.Finally they fell dead in fear and exhaustion (筋疲力尽).According to the __10__people that found them,the place where they got lost was only about 20 meters away from the __11__of the cave.If they stayed on the spot when they lost their way and tried to __12__themselves,they would probably sense a faint light glimmering (闪烁) not far away.
Don't you think that you can compare it with __13__itself? When you meet with obstacles in life and work,you are lost in darkness.__14__you it's unclear yet and you needn't put up struggle __15__.It seems to be a negative attitude,but a person who can afford to do so must have foresight as well as a great courage in the first place.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇夹叙夹议的文章。作者通过两个事例的对比,说明无论是在生活中还是在工作中,当人们处于困境或危急状况时,不轻举妄动、保持镇静是智慧和勇气的表现。
1.A.service B.way
C.order
D.work
【解析】 考查名词辨析。根据句意可知,因为电池用尽,手机不能用了。go out of work意为“不工作”;out of service意为“停止服务”;out of order意为“混乱”。根据语境可知,选D。
【答案】 D
2.A.cry
B.lie
C.wait
D.sleep
【解析】 考查动词辨析。句意:除了等,别无选择。此处是固定句型nothing can be done but do,相当于have no choice but to do。从作者叙述朋友在深夜受伤但非常镇静这一事实可知,选C。
【答案】 C
3.A.delay
B.success
C.team
D.arrival
【解析】 考查名词辨析。根据下文可知,作者的朋友最终获救了,因此此处应是援救“到来”了。delay不合题意,因为作者已经说明朋友没有办法呼救;此处作者强调的也不是“成功”。
【答案】 D
4.A.untrue
B.unimaginable
C.true
D.useless
【解析】 考查形容词辨析。根据下文可知,朋友在那样的情况下竟然能够打个盹,作者认为这是令人“无法想象的”。作者此处是在赞扬朋友在那样的情况下能如此镇静,其他选项不合文意。
【答案】 B
5.A.plan
B.decision
C.explanation
D.excuse
【解析】 考查名词辨析。根据句意可知,朋友对作者的解释更让作者惊讶。根据下文可以排除其他选项,此处不是朋友的“计划”,更不是“决定”和“借口”。
【答案】 C
6.A.method
B.way
C.tools
D.strength
【解析】 考查名词辨析。根据句意可知,朋友无法呼救。way做事情的方式,可用于指没有办法呼救,method多表示解决问题的具体“方法”。
【答案】 B
7.A.loss
B.failure
C.disappointment
D.sadness
【解析】 考查名词辨析。根据下文可知,探险“失败”了。loss意为“损失”,不符合文意。
【答案】 B
8.A.Willing
B.Unable
C.Determined
D.Deciding
【解析】 考查形容词辨析。根据下文这群年轻人乱作一团可知,他们找不到出口。其他选项均不符合逻辑。
【答案】 B
9.A.hearing
B.sight
C.feeling
D.direction
【解析】 考查名词辨析。根据这群年轻人迷路可知,他们乱跑一气,没有了“方向”感。
【答案】 D
10.A.rescue
B.village
C.local
D.brave
【解析】 考查名词辨析。根据语境可知,发现年轻人失败真相的应是“营救”人员,此处不是指“当地的人”,作者强调的也不是“勇敢的人”。
【答案】 A
11.A.end
B.top
C.opening
D.side
【解析】 考查名词辨析。根据下文“a faint light glimmering.”可知,此处指的是“出口”,故用opening。
【答案】 C
12.A.save
B.help
C.stop
D.calm
【解析】 考查动词辨析。作者强调的是人们处于危急或困境时应“保持镇静”,故用calm。
【答案】 D
13.A.adventure
B.work
C.life
D.mankind
【解析】 考查名词辨析。根据下文可知,作者由上述两个事例联想到“生活”,life最具有概括性。作者把上述的经验和教训与人们的实际生活联系起来,其他选项都太片面。
【答案】 C
14.A.Mind
B.Watch
C.Imagine
D.Warn
【解析】 考查动词辨析。mind sb.意为“提醒某人”,符合语境。句意:处于迷茫状态时,你应该提醒自己情况不明朗,不要轻举妄动。watch意为“注视、监视”;imagine意为“想象”,不符合语境;warn意为“警告”,语气太强,也不符合语境。
【答案】 A
15.A.really
B.immediately
C.carefully
D.hopefully
【解析】 考查副词辨析。根据句意可知,作者希望人们在处于危急或困境时应“保持镇静”,不要轻举妄动,因此不必“立即”去斗争。
【答案】 B

【语篇解读】 多年以来雇佣童工一直是个问题,至今仍未改变。解决方法应该是更严的法律,更大的监管及更重的罚款。

Ⅲ.阅读理解

Creativity is the ability to create inventions,solve problems or create a work of art using an unusual or innovative(革新的)approach.Creativity is also a skill in high demand in business and in many other forms of employment.All progress is the result of some sort of creative act.Thus someone who can produce such acts on a consistent basis is a valuable addition to any undertaking.
Research has shown that too much passive media consumption at a young age prevents the development of creativity.You might think that creativity is a result of high intelligence,but that is not the case.Sure,it does not hurt to be smart,but you can be a smart robot without being able to imagine new ways of doing things.On the other hand it's common knowledge that traveling increases your ability to think“outside the box”,because you experience a lot of new things and different ways of doing things when you witness how people from other cultures live.
So what is the difference between surfing the web and watching TV and traveling?Watching TV is very passive and your brain simply discards most of it.And it is as if it has become cluttered(凌乱的)with useless information that it cannot really process.
When you are doing things actively,by being there,by having a heightened sense of alert,very positive things happen.For example,remember your last trip.Let's say you've been to Tokyo.For most nonJapanese the experience of being in the city is very impressive.Everything is huge.There are lots of people and technology is everywhere.Because the city is new for you,your brain switches in“possibly dangerous”mode.You notice much more,even tiny details.
Now that your mind is open it also stores the information better,because of your aroused state.All your input is stored with stronger emotions and is thus easier to recall later.That's why you should travel or simply go to new places in your town.Actively observe how you feel and then try to reproduce the feeling at a familiar place.This way you will learn to see things with the eyes of a traveler.

Austin Yowler,13,has football practice Tuesday through Thursday.His brother Kendall,8,has soccer practice Tuesday and Friday.Both boys play their games on weekends,which means calling time out for family dinners can be difficult for the Yowler family of Burlington.They try to squeeze them in two to three times a week.
“Today,everybody lives such busy lives,and dinner time is just a good time to catch up with what everybody's doing,” says the boys' father,David Yowler.
“It's really important,” his wife,Suzanne,says,“We always did it when I was a kid.You never know what kids might tell us.They are not very ready to give information at this age,so it's nice to get little interesting things once in a while.”
Indeed,the family dinner might be more important than many people realize.“Surveys have found that the more often children have dinners with their parents,the less likely they are to smoke,drink or use drugs,and that parental engagement fostered around the dinner table is one of the most powerful tools to help parents raise healthy,drugfree children,” says a report.
Austin Yowler,an eighthgrader,says,“it's nice to just sit down with everybody once in a while.” But he adds that in the evenings he doesn't have football,“I just like to go and hang out with my friends.Having to come home in the middle of that is just kind of...” His facial expression finishes the thought.
It's the conversations happening at the table—not the food being eaten—that is key,the report says.Dinner time is the best time to strengthen family ties and learn what's going on in each other's lives.
“I know family dinners are important,so I tell everyone no texting,no TV and no video games,” says Deanna Eppers of Milford,whose three children are in college,high school and sixth grade.It's OK,though,for a mom to “call” the kids to the table by texting a message.“Otherwise,” she says,“they say they don't hear me.”
