When I think more about this word, I picture someone who has accomplished good things for people and tries to do the right thing. Hattie Elizabeth Alexander is one person whom I find to be very heroic.Hattie was born in Baltimore, Maryland on April 5,1901. During her time at college she earned her Bachelors Degree in Bacteriology and Physiology. These were just the first steps toward what she was finally going to be remembered for. After college Hattie attended Johns Hopkins School of Medicine and received her medical degree.After her education, she pursued her career, and after much time and hard work, she drastically reduced the number of infants (幼兒) dying from meningitis (腦膜炎). Hattie was very dedicated to her work and helped at as many locations as she could. Spending substantial (大量的) time in the laboratory, Hattie successfully developed a cure against the disease, which decreased the death rate to 20 percent. At the same time, she was also a teacher working with Columbia University.She was a caring lady interested in other peoples lives. When she was teaching at Columbia University, other members would talk to her about students that were failing their classes, and somehow Hattie could always find convincing reasons as to why they should not be driven away. Later, Hattie became an instructor in Pediatrics at New York Citys Babies Hospital. After many honors, she became the first woman president of the American Pediatric Society in 1965. This was her last major achievement, for soon after, Hattie died of cancer on June 24,1968.Hattie is my hero because her positive attitude and strength helped her accomplish great things for others. She gave them her strength by developing medicines against diseases, which, by doing so, made them stronger. This is what makes Hattie Elizabeth Alexander my hero.體裁：記敘文題材：人物故事主題：兒科醫(yī)生哈蒂伊麗莎白亞歷山大【語(yǔ)篇導(dǎo)讀】本文介紹了作者心目中的英雄哈蒂伊麗莎白亞歷山大為社會(huì)作出的貢獻(xiàn)。5According to the passage, Hattie Elizabeth Alexander _.Areceived her Bachelors Degree in Johns Hopkins SchoolBspent all her time in the laboratory developing cures for illnessesCcared a lot about others private livesDalways tried her best to help prevent students from dropping out of college解析：D細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第四段第二句. somehow Hattie could always find convincing reasons as to why they should not be driven away.可知，哈蒂總會(huì)盡最大努力阻止學(xué)生被開(kāi)除。故選D項(xiàng)。6The underlined word in Paragraph 3 probably means“_”AslightlyBhardlyCgreatly Dtotally解析：C詞義猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)文章第三段第一、二句以及第三句中的which decreased the death rate to 20 percent可推斷出，此處指經(jīng)過(guò)哈蒂的付出和努力，幼兒死于腦膜炎的比例大大下降。故推測(cè)，drastically意為“大幅度地；徹底地”，與greatly意思相近，故選C項(xiàng)。7Hattie is considered to be a hero by the author in that _.Ashe was an honorable, hardworking and happy personBshe was a very dedicated woman doctor with many honorsCshe was a caring lady who helped many students finish collegeDshe was the first woman president of the APS解析：A推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第一段的內(nèi)容可知，作者視哈蒂為英雄是因?yàn)樗且粋€(gè)品德高尚、勤奮且快樂(lè)的人。故選A項(xiàng)。8Which of the following would be the most proper title for the text?AAn Honorable WomanBA Woman Accomplishing Great ThingsCMy Hero Hattie Elizabeth AlexanderDThe First Woman President of the APS解析：C主旨大意題。通讀全文可知，本文講述的是作者心目中的英雄哈蒂伊麗莎白亞歷山大。故選C項(xiàng)。C(2017河北石家莊高三復(fù)習(xí)教學(xué)質(zhì)量檢測(cè)一)Despite being used by 1.34 billion people each year, traveling on the Tube in London can actually be quite lonely.One citizen, however, is trying to change this. “You get on the Tube and its completely silent and its weird，” says Jonathan Dunne, who has started a worldwide dialogue after giving out badges (徽章) with the words “Tube chat？” last month, encouraging passengers in London to get talking to one another. “I handed out 500 badges during rush hour in a city of 8 million, expecting most of them to be thrown away, but after about 24 hours it completely snowballed，” he says. Dunne and his “Tube chat” campaign have since been reported by media across the world, seeing TV interviews in Sweden, Brazil and the UK, as well as countless website, newspaper and magazine appearances.Although Dunne says hes received mostly positive feedback, not everyone agrees with his idea. Londoner Brian Wilson responded with a campaign of his own, handing out 500 badges with the words “Dont even think about it” on them. Michael Robinson, 24, a student from London, agrees. “Being on the Tube is the only peace and quiet some people get on their journeys to and from work. It doesnt need to be spoiled by people coming up and chatting to you，” he says.“People assume that I just walk up and talk to strangers, which I dont, but its been a great way to meet people you would never have normally spoken to，” Dunne says.So if you ever end up using public transport in the West, why not say hello to the person next to you? Just make sure to check for a badge first.【解題導(dǎo)語(yǔ)】每年乘坐倫敦地鐵的乘客眾多，可是人們?nèi)匀桓械焦陋?dú)；為此Jonathan Dunne發(fā)起了一個(gè)旨在鼓勵(lì)乘客相互交談的運(yùn)動(dòng)，此舉引起了世界媒體的關(guān)注。盡管如此，人們對(duì)此仍有不同的態(tài)度。9How did Dunne encourage London passengers to talk with each other?ABy putting up posters on the tube.BBy advocating his idea on the media.CBy offering passengers special badges.DBy starting a dialogue with passengers.解析：C考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第二段的“who has started a worldwide dialogue after giving out badges (徽章) with the words Tube chat？”可知，Dunne用給乘客們分發(fā)寫著“Tube chat？”的徽章來(lái)鼓勵(lì)乘客聊天，故C項(xiàng)正確。10How is Dunnes campaign getting along?AIt has caught international attention.BIt has become a worldwide campaign.CMost passengers have refused to accept it.DWilson has made great efforts to promote it.解析：A考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第二段的“Tube chat campaign have since been reported by media across the world, seeing TV interviews in Sweden, Brazil and the UK, as well as countless website, newspaper and magazine appearances”可知，Dunne和他的“Tube chat”運(yùn)動(dòng)引起了世界各種媒體的關(guān)注，故A項(xiàng)正確。干擾項(xiàng)分析：根據(jù)第二段的內(nèi)容可知，該運(yùn)動(dòng)僅針對(duì)倫敦地鐵乘客，故B項(xiàng)錯(cuò)誤；根據(jù)第三段的“hes received mostly positive feedback”可知，C項(xiàng)錯(cuò)誤；根據(jù)第三段第二句可知，Wilson對(duì)此運(yùn)動(dòng)持反對(duì)態(tài)度，故D項(xiàng)錯(cuò)誤。11According to Michael Robinson, what should tube passengers do?AHand in their feedback in time.BWalk up and talk to strangers.CStop using public transport.DEnjoy the peace quietly.解析：D考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第三段的“Being on the Tube is the only peace and quiet some people get on their journeys to and from work. It doesnt need to be spoiled by people coming up and chatting to you”可知，Michael Robinson認(rèn)為乘倫敦地鐵是人們上下班時(shí)享受安寧的時(shí)刻，而不是交談的時(shí)刻，故D項(xiàng)正確。12What can be the best title for the text?ATube Chat or NotBLonely Travel in the London TubeCSilence on the TubeDTube Passengers wearing Badges解析：A考查標(biāo)題判斷。通讀全文可知，文章第二段介紹Dunne和他的“Tube chat”運(yùn)動(dòng)引起了世界各種媒體的關(guān)注；第三段介紹一些人持不同的觀點(diǎn)；最后一段建議如果要跟陌生人打招呼，先看看他有沒(méi)有徽章。據(jù)此可以判斷，文章主要介紹了人們對(duì)于是否在倫敦地鐵相互交談持不同的觀點(diǎn)，故A項(xiàng)最能概括文意。D(2017陜西省高三教學(xué)質(zhì)量檢測(cè)一)Our success, satisfaction and general happiness in life is not dependent on what happens to us but how we deal with it.You will probably know from personal experience what a difference your attitude can make when, for example, youre returning faulty goods or making a complaint. An open, polite and friendly approach, expecting a satisfactory result, normally results in one as people tend to respond with a similar attitude. If, however, you present an argument with an angry, accusing tone, expecting trouble, there is little doubt that this is what youll get!Some people see the world through a filter of optimism and some through a filter of pessimism (悲觀) which largely comes down to having a positive or negative (消極的) attitude. People who are suffering from a negative attitude primarily think that something cant be done; they talk about problems, see all the difficulties, find fault with and criticize other people and focus on all the things they would like but havent got. On the contrary, people blessed with a positive attitude think that anything is possible. They look for ways to solve the problems, they see the good in everybody, and they are grateful for all the good things in their lives.Whether suffering from or blessed with your attitude, this is not something that is put on us from the outside. We are very much responsible for our own attitude. We all start out with a “clean” board but this can get muddied by our experiences in life. As children we are made fun of and even get bullied (欺侮) and rejected, start to experience doubt and lose our selfconfidence. If this continues into adulthood, it can result in a bad attitude in later life.【解題導(dǎo)語(yǔ)】本文展現(xiàn)出了積極的人生態(tài)度的重要性?！倦y句分析】You will probably know from personal experience what a difference your attitude can make when, for example, youre returning faulty goods or making a complaint.分析：本句是一個(gè)復(fù)合句。what引導(dǎo)賓語(yǔ)從句，when引導(dǎo)時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)從句。譯文：你將很可能從個(gè)人的經(jīng)歷中了解你的態(tài)度會(huì)有多么大的影響，譬如在你把有瑕疵的貨物退回或在投訴時(shí)。13It can be inferred from Paragraph 2 that people are likely to treat others _.Athe way they are treatedBbetter when they are satisfiedCworse when they are in troubleDthe way they consider appropriate解析：A考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第二段的整體內(nèi)容尤其是“as people tend to respond with a similar attitude”可知，你以什么樣的態(tài)度對(duì)待他人，他人也會(huì)用同樣的方式對(duì)待你。14According to the writer, what affects peoples life attitude?AThe situation they face.BThe people around them.CTheir expectations of life.DThe way they view the world.解析：D考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第三段的整體內(nèi)容并結(jié)合最后一段中的“We are very. We all start out with a clean board but this can get muddied by our experiences in life”可知，人們看待世界的方式會(huì)左右他們對(duì)事物的態(tài)度，人們的人生經(jīng)歷對(duì)人生態(tài)度又有影響，故選D。15What is the purpose of the writer in writing this passage?ATo show how to avoid a negative attitude.BTo show the importance of a positive attitude.CTo share his positive attitude with his readers.DTo describe the effects of a negative attitude.解析：B考查寫作意圖。根據(jù)第一段“Our success, satisfaction and general happiness in life is not dependent on what happens to us but how we deal with it”并結(jié)合全文的內(nèi)容可推知，作者寫本文的目的在于表明積極的人生態(tài)度的重要性。干擾項(xiàng)分析：A項(xiàng)錯(cuò)在如何避免消極態(tài)度，文章中只是講了消極態(tài)度所帶來(lái)的負(fù)面影響，并沒(méi)有具體的預(yù)防措施；C項(xiàng)錯(cuò)在分享作者積極的人生態(tài)度，本文作者對(duì)態(tài)度進(jìn)行了客觀分析，并沒(méi)有提到作者個(gè)人的態(tài)度；D項(xiàng)錯(cuò)在描述消極態(tài)度的影響，這只是文章的一部分內(nèi)容，故排除。.七選五(2017深圳一模)Choosing the Right Path to Be a “Better” PersonLife is a constant exercise in selfimprovement.
