87、我的童年充满了艺术、手工艺和音乐,每一天都是令人兴奋的创作冒险。)”可知,从作者还是一个小女孩的时候起,她就对有创意的东西感兴趣,对艺术、手工艺和音乐感兴趣。故答案为She was interested in arts, crafts and music./ She was interested in creative things.57考查词义猜测。根据画线单词所在句后句“Working this way for one year was painful enough, let alone a lifetime. Before long I decided to make a change.
88、(这样工作一年已经够痛苦的了,更别说一辈子了。不久我决定做出改变。)”可知,作者现在的工作让她感到痛苦,她并不喜欢这份工作。再根据第五段内容“As it became clearer that fashion was what I wanted to do full time, the reality of my day-to-day work at the insurance company became harder. I felt bored. No energy, no motivation and zero fulfilment (满足感). (当我越来越清楚地意识到时尚是我全职想要
89、做的事情时,我在保险公司的日常工作变得更加困难。我觉得无聊。没有活力,没有动力,没有满足感。)”可知,作者真正喜欢的是和时尚相关的工作,保险公司的工作让她感觉无聊。由此可知,画线单词所在句表示的是,在保险公司工作的日子漫长而乏味。故答案为Boring./Dull./Uninteresting.58考查细节理解。根据文章第四段内容“As I dreamt bigger, I began looking into college courses for Fashion Design and three months later I signed up for a part-time design
90、course. I attended classes two nights a week. Although exhausting, it gave me energy, enthusiasm and happiness.(当我的梦想更大的时候,我开始研究时装设计的大学课程,三个月后我报名参加了一个兼职设计课程。我每周上两晚课。虽然很累,但它给了我活力、热情和快乐。)”可知,在参加了兼职设计课程后,作者感觉充满了活力、热情和快乐。故答案为She felt/was energetic, enthusiastic and happy./ She was filled with energy, en
91、thusiasm and happiness.59考查细节理解。根据文章第三段关键句“One thing I had developed an interest in was sewing, so I took a sewing course at a community college.(我对缝纫产生了兴趣,所以我在一所社区大学上了缝纫课。)”,第四段关键句“As I dreamt bigger, I began looking into college courses for Fashion Design and three months later I signed up for a p

93、出了一个艰难的决定,离开我的工作,并全职学习我的设计课程。两年后我拿到了毕业证书。)”可知,作者为了恢复她有创造力的生活,她参加了一个缝纫班,并参加了一个兼职设计课程,辞去了工作,去上时装设计课,根据题目要求,从中选出两点事实即可,不超过15个词。故答案为She quit/quitted her job and took the fashion-design course./ She attended a sewing class and took a part-time design course.60开放题。题目询问“你认为作者是你的榜样吗?请解释一下原因。”本题为开放性试题,根据自己的理

131、段前两句“When you saw I was troubled, you hugged me with your smile and I knew everything would be OK. You made parents feel as cared for as our children.(当你看到我烦恼时,你微笑着拥抱我,我知道一切都会好起来的。你让父母和我们的孩子一样感到被关心。)”可知,这位老师在家长们陷入麻烦时,会提供无微不至的关怀,就像对待孩子们一样,所以说家长也是需要关爱的。故选B项。6【答案】C【分析】推理判断题。第三段“I cant understand why yo

133、对老师在天堂过得很好的期盼,语句中透露出大家对她的怀念。所以作者提到“白色羽毛”是为了告诉我们,老师去世后仍然还在我们心里。故选C项。7【答案】D【分析】推理判断题。全文都在表达着作者对孩子老师的尊重与怀念,并非“评论”、“道别”或“遗憾”,也未提说这位老师是作者的同事,所以作者写本文的目的是回忆并表达对Charlie的老师的尊重。故选D项。四、(江苏省2021届高三4月第三次百校联考)“The Great Good Place” is a short story by American novelist Henry James, first published in 1900.

I have challenges ahead and the reality is, her next trip back will be for my funeral,” he said.(“我已经老了,她住得太远了。我前方有
184、很多挑战,现实是,她下一次回来的旅行将是参加我的葬礼。”他说。)由此可知,因为女儿住的太远,而自己已经老了,所以可能会出现很多状况,因此这位父亲认为这一次可能就是永别是因为自己可能没有多少时间了,故选B。6推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Saying that brought back memories of expressing my love and appreciation for all my dad had done for me.

I wish you enough rain to
186、 appreciate the sun more. I wish you enough happiness to keep your spirit aliveI wish you enough Hellos to get you through the final Good-bye”(我希望你有足够的阳光让你保持乐观的态度。我希望你有足够的雨水来欣赏阳光。我希望你有足够的“你好”,让你度过最后的“再见” ),因为只有经常见面才会说你好,所以经常见面,有足够多的时间在一起,才能够再永别的时候不会留下遗憾,所以划线句子意思是要珍惜在一起的时间,故选A。8主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“I accide
187、ntally heard a father and daughter in their last moments together at an airport. They had announced her planes departure Standing near the door, he said to his daughter, I love you.

This was what Samuel would spend years fighting against.The Orang Asli community has struggled
215、with poverty, melting into society, and losing their own identity and culture due to others disregard of it. Samuel saw that the main barrier in teaching these children was the attitude on the part of many teachers that the native children were not worth their efforts. It was thought that whatever w
216、as taught would make no difference, so nobody bothered to try. The children themselves ended up believing these stigmas (污名), often doubting what they can achieve. Teachers skipped or slept in classes, and little effort was made to create an appropriate learning environment. Consequently, the school
217、 was one of the worst-performing in the district.Samuel bonded with his native students and accepted their culture, leading him to see their potential.

It was thought that whatever was taught would make no
223、difference,(当地的孩子不值得他们的努力。人们认为无论教什么都不会有区别)”可推知,这些原居民学生被认为是没有希望的。故选B。2细节理解题。根据文章第二段中“Samuel saw that the main barrier in teaching these children was the attitude on the part of many teachers that the native children were not worth their efforts.(塞缪尔发现教育这些孩子的主要障碍是许多教师的态度,认为原居民的孩子不值得他们的努力。他们认为无论教什么都不会有
