　　（一） [2024·衡陽八中高三六次月考]

　　I received a call today asking if I would be willing to bring food to a family in need. The mother was having a major operation and would be lying down for several weeks. Of course, I responded with an immediate “Yes！”. As I planned the meal in my head, I reflected on how many times over the years I had been asked to prepare food. I have done so countless times with a very open heart.

　　But the truly amazing thing is that I have received double over the course of my life. When my mother passed away, our house was filled with fresh dinners for weeks. A woman from the church of our community stopped by each evening with some food. The gift of food was her small way of trying to ease our pain.

　　Later in my life, when I was on bed rest during my pregnancy with twins, women of the church again stepped in to help. They arranged babysitting for my two-year-old daughter, and brought lovely dinners to our house. Even when I was put in the hospital, my husband would bring cooked meals to my hospital room. How we relied on these dinners to feed my tired husband and young daughter.

　　Food is all about comfort. It feeds our bodies, but it can also feed our souls. When you hear people talking about their favourite holidays, it usually includes their feelings connected with sharing food. I know that I will have many more opportunities in my lifetime to prepare food for others. It is truly a gift I want to prepare and deliver to someone in need.

　　5. According to the passage, which of the following conclusions can we get?

　　A. A good beginning makes a good ending.

　　B．One good turn deserves another.

　　C．Actions speak louder than words.

　　D．Every man has his faults.

　　【語篇導讀】 作者的母親過世的時候，社區教堂中的女人給她帶過食物；作者懷孕的時候，社區教堂中的女人也同樣給她帶過食物，并幫她照顧她兩歲的女兒。因此，今天有人需要幫助的時候，作者也非常愿意伸出援手。

　　1. D　細節理解題。根據第二段第一句“But the truly amazing thing is that I have received double over the course of my life.” 可知，作者樂于贈送食物給別人是因為她自己也曾經收到他們的許多饋贈，故選D項。

　　2. C　推理判斷題。根據第一段第三句“Of course, I responded with an immediate ‘Yes！.’”可推斷作者非常高興能幫助別人，故選C項。

　　3. C　細節理解題。根據第二段第二句“When my mother passed away, our house was filled with fresh dinners for weeks.”和第三段第一、二句“Later in my life, when I was on bed rest during my pregnancy with twins, women of the church again stepped in to help. They arranged babysitting for my two-year-old daughter, and brought lovely dinners to our house.”可知作者在她自己有困難的時候接受過他人的食物與照顧，由此判斷選C項。

　　4. B　推理判斷題。根據第二段第三句“A woman from the church of our community stopped by each evening with some food.”可知教堂在作者生活的社區里面，即離她家不遠，故選B項。

　　5. B　推理判斷題。通過上下文可知，作者在自己困難的時候接受過別人的幫助，故如今她也非常樂意幫助別人，由此可得出這么一個結論：善有善報。故選B項。

　　[2024·湖南師大附中檢測]

　　While you may be doing everything right, ignoring just one or two steps in the process may keep you from getting a job, especially in this fierce market. Here is a checklist that covers some of the major links in the job-search chain.

　　THE RESUME—Make sure it is up-to-date and tailored to the types of jobs you are seeking for. Have someone else look at your resume. If you cannot afford a career coach, give your resume to friends or family members to scrutinize. Have copies of your resume printed so that you are ready to hand them out at interview.

　　COVERING LETTERS—Maybe you've set up a few basic styles in advance, but that's not enough. Each covering letter should be designed to suit the job for which you are applying.

　　THE WARDROBE(衣櫥)—Check your wardrobe to ensure that you have the appropriate professional dress, including shoes, ready for interviews.

　　NETWORKING—Don't isolate yourself from others for days. Network through e-mail messages, phone calls, appointments and meetings keep you in touch with the outside world and prevent you from becoming depressed.

　　APPLICATION—A glance at huge online job sites isn't usually the best way to find a job. You are more likely to succeed through the people you know via networking.

　　THE FOLLOW-UP—It is quite common to apply for a job but never hear back from the company. Take measures, such as following up with a phone call a week or so after you apply. If you know someone at the company, check whether that person will put in a good word for you.

　　INTERVIEWS—If you've got plenty of interviews but no return calls or job offers, take a look at your interviewing skills. This is one area where investing in a career coach may pay off. But if you can't afford one, try to find a job group or service that conducts free mock(模擬) interviews.

　　SUPPORT SYSTEMS—Finally, recognize that looking for a job is rather difficult. Even at the best of times, a job hunt is often about rejection, and that can be hard to endure. Staying in touch with families, friends, professional networks and fellow job seekers can help you to maintain a positive attitude and a sense of perspective.

　　6. The author's purpose of writing this text is to________.

　　A．suggest graduates should find suitable jobs

　　B．tell people how to improve their interviewing skills

　　C．teach people how to get ready for an interview

　　D．give people some tips on searching for jobs

　　7．The underlined word “scrutinize” in Paragraph 2 can be replaced by ________．

　　A．check

　　B．use

　　C．rewrite

　　D．criticize

　　8. Which of the following methods is wrong according to the text?

　　A．You should have your resume read by your friends after finishing it.

　　B．You should create different covering letters for the different jobs you apply for.

　　C．Searching online is the most effective way to look for a job.

　　D．You should wear professional clothes and shoes for the interview.

　　9. What should you do if you don't receive any calls after lots of interviews?

　　A．Ask a fellow job seeker to help you.

　　B．Carefully review your interviewing skills.

　　C．Rewrite your resume as soon as possible.

　　D．Go to the managers' offices to find out why.

　　10. It is implied in the text that________．

　　A．people often pay no attention to writing their resume

　　B．the interview is the most difficult step for interviewees

　　C．your social network may help you a lot in your job hunt

　　D．a career coach often offers free mock interviews to interviewees

　　6. D　推理判斷題。從第一段可知，作者寫這篇文章的目的是讓讀者了解求職過程中要注意的一些細節問題。故選D項。

　　7. A　詞義猜測題。根據第二段“Have someone else look at your resume.”可知“讓其他人看一下你的簡歷。如果聘不起職業導師的話，可以讓朋友或家人檢查一下”，由此可以推出scrutinize的意思是“檢查”，故選A項。

　　8. C　細節理解題。從文章第六段“A glance at huge online job sites isn't usually the best way to find a job.”可知選C項。

　　9. B　細節理解題。從作者在倒數第二項提的建議可知，如果經過多次面試，但卻沒有得到公司的回復，那面試者一定要重新審視自己面試過程中的一些技巧問題。故選B項。

　　10. C　推理判斷題。文章第六段隱含著這樣一個信息：面試者要多參加社交活動，建立關系網，從而通過朋友更快地找到工作。

　　（三） [2024·安徽省級示范高中名校聯考]

　　Switzerland is the best place to be born in the world in 2024，and the US is just 16th. A new study made by the Economist Intelligence Unit says American babies will have a dimmer future than those born in Hong Kong，Ireland and even Canada. The EIU，a sister company of the Economist，tried to measure how well countries will provide the best opportunities for a healthy，safe and prosperous life in years to come.

　　People born in Switzerland will tend to be the happiest and have the best quality of life judged in terms of wealth，health and trust in public institutions，according to the analysis. The Scandinavian countries of Norway，Sweden and Denmark also all make the top five in a ‘quality-of-life' index(指數)highlighting where it is best to be born next year.

　　One of the most important factors is being rich，but other factors come into play—including crime，trust in public institutions and the health of family life. In total，the index takes into account 11 factors. These include fixed factors such as geography，others that change slowly over time such as demography (人口統計學)，social and cultural characteristics, and the state of the world economy. The index also looks at income per head in 2030，which is roughly when children born in 2024 will reach adulthood. Small economies take up the top 10 countries，with Australia coming second and New Zealand and the Netherlands not too far behind.

　　Half of the top 10 countries are European，but only one，the Netherlands，is from the euro-zone. The crisis-ridden south of Europe，including Greece，Portugal and Spain，falls behind despite the advantage of a favourable climate. Interestingly，the largest European economies—Germany，France and Britain—do not do particularly well. Nigeria has the unenviable(不值得羨慕的)title of being the worst country for a baby to enter the world in 2024.

　　11．According to the passage，the happiest people live in________．

　　A．Denmark

　　B．Switzerland

　　C．Germany

　　D．Nigeria

　　12．The factors of telling the best place to be born don't include________．

　　A．economy

　　B．geography

　　C．trust in public institutions

　　D．pollution

　　13．Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?

　　A．The Economist Intelligence Unit is a company.

　　B．The Economist attempted to measure the best place to live.

　　C．The Scandinavian countries are hardly at the top of the list.

　　D．Half of the top 10 countries are from the eurozone.

　　14．The purpose of the text is to show people________.

　　A．the best place to be born in 2024

　　B．a new study made by the EIU

　　C．the worst country to be born in 2024

　　D．the factors of measuring the best place to be born

　　【語篇導讀】 本文主要通過經濟學人智庫對國家的幸福指數的研究得出在瑞士出生的人是最幸福的，生活質量也最高，而挪威、瑞典和丹麥這幾個斯堪的納維亞國家也躋身前五名。

　　11. B　細節理解題。 根據文章第一段“Switzerland is the best place to be born in the world in 2024…”和第二段“People born in Switzerland will tend to be the happiest and have the best quality of life…”可知，一般來說，在瑞士出生的人是最幸福的，其生活質量也最高。故答案為B項。

　　12. D　細節理解題。根據文章第二段中對于判斷最佳居住地的因素介紹可知，沒有提到“污染”的問題。故答案為D項。

　　13. A　推理判斷題。根據文章第一段中“The EIU, a sister company of the Economist…”可知經濟學人智庫是一家公司。故A項正確。

　　14. B　主旨大意題。本文的目的是展示經濟學人智庫的研究結果，而其他三個選項只是其中的一個部分，不能作為文章的目的。故答案為B項。
