小木屋

首页 > 试题列表 > 单题解析

218335. （2023•长安区一中•高一下二月） My childhood was a painted picture of sunny sky and rolling green fields stretching to the horizon.It tasted of sharp berries and smelt of sour grapes.My family lived in a cabin（小木屋） in the countryside but I lived in my mother's arms.They were so delicate but strong，her red hair falling around me like a curtain separating me from the world.
   Childhood was simple.The borders of my village were the furthest my troubles went and monsters only lived in the pages of books.Every day was a waking dream of running races and muddy knees.My village was archaic，dying cabins housing dying farmers with dying traditions.There weren't many children but me and the other boys；boys of butchers and sellers formed our own group.
   They called us wild.I suppose we were.Trees and mountains formed our playgrounds and fights broke out as easily as sudden laughter.Liberated from the restrictions of society，we would bound into the woods，deeper and deeper until we found a lake which，with a wild yell，we would jump into all at once.
   My most vivid memories from boyhood center around that lake.Water shone brightly and the sounds of our screams broke into the outcry from birds.The shock of cold water against sweating skin would wake every nerve in my body and my bare feet would hit the sinking muddy bottom.As we submerged（淹没），time would suspend，movements slowing as bubbles rose around us.
   I was drowning.I was living.I was living.I was drowning.
   For timelessness or a second （both felt the same），we would suspend，curl up，and then be forced back out into breathing air.
   We should have known that it wouldn't last forever.Yet，even under the best circumstances，there's something so tragic about growing up：to have your perspective on the people and life around you change；to always struggle to reach a mirror only to find yourself tall enough to see your reflection one day.And find，a different person staring back out at you.

（1）What does the underlined word "archaic" mean in paragraph 2？
A．Borderless.
B．Valueless.
C．Old-fashioned.
D．Poverty-stricken.
（2）Why did the author consider himself and other children wild？
A．They played in the woods crazily.
B．They tricked others purposefully.
C．They frequently broke social rules.

[解析]

（1）词义猜测题。根据第二段Childhood was simple.The borders of my village were the furthest my troubles went and monsters only lived in the pages of books.Every day was a waking dream of running races and muddy knees.My village was archaic，dying cabins housing dying farmers with dying traditions.（童年是简单的。我们村庄的边界是我的烦恼去的最远的地方，怪物只存在于书页上。每天都是跑步比赛和泥泞的膝盖的梦。我的村庄是archaic的，垂死的小屋住着垂死的农民，他们的传统已经消亡。）可猜测，我小时候生活的村庄很陈旧。archaic意为"陈旧的"。A项"无边界的"；B项"无价值的"；C项"陈旧的"；D项"贫穷的"。故选C。
（2）推理判断题。根据文章第三段中Trees and mountains formed our playgrounds and fights broke out as easily as sudden laughter.Liberated from the restrictions of society，we would bound into the woods，deeper and deeper until we found a lake which，with a wild yell，we would jump into all at once.（树木和山脉构成了我们的游乐场，打架就像突然的笑声一样容易爆发。从社会的束缚中解放出来，我们会跳进树林里，越陷越深，直到发现一个湖，我们会大叫一声，立刻跳进湖里。）可知，作者是因为他们在树林里疯狂地玩耍，所以认为自己和其他孩子都是野孩子。故选A。
（3）推理判断题。根据文章第四段Water shone brightly and the sounds of our screams broke into the outcry from birds.The shock of cold water against sweating skin would wake every nerve in my body and my bare feet would hit the sinking muddy bottom.As we submerged（淹没），time would suspend，movements slowing as bubbles rose around us.（水面闪闪发光，我们的尖叫声被鸟儿的叫声打断了。冷水对着出汗的皮肤的冲击会唤醒我身体的每一根神经，我的光脚会撞到下沉的泥泞的底部。当我们潜入水中时，时间会停止，随着我们周围的气泡上升，运动变慢。），以及第六段For timelessness or a second （both felt the same），we would suspend，curl up，and then be forced back out into breathing air.（在一段时间或一秒钟内（两者的感觉都是一样的），我们会暂停，蜷缩起来，然后被迫重新呼吸空气。）可知，作者从自己当时的所见、所听、所感等多个层面描绘了自己童年时对于湖的回忆。故选A。
（4）段落大意题。根据文章最后一段We should have known that it wouldn't last forever.Yet，even under the best circumstances，there's something so tragic about growing up：to have your perspective on the people and life around you change；to always struggle to reach a mirror only to find yourself tall enough to see your reflection one day.And find，a different person staring back out at you.（我们早该知道它不会永远持续下去。然而，即使在最好的情况下，成长也有一些悲剧：你对周围人和生活的看法发生了变化；总是挣扎着去拿镜子，却发现自己已经足够高，有一天可以看到自己的倒影。然后发现，另一个人正盯着你。）可知，作者在最后一段传达了"成长常常伴随着对过去的悲伤告别。"故选C。

201615. （2025•临潼区•二模）     Today is the first day that my family is living without a car，after 16 years of owning and driving one.Our blue Nissan Sunny has served us well over the past 10-years that it has been with us.However，we have decided that we will not be renewing the certificate for our vehicle，nor to purchase either a new or second hand car.
    This car is our third sedan（轿车）.I have been driving since 1998 when I first obtained my driving license.While we have encountered occasional incidents on the road，our driving journeys have been pretty pleasant.Let me go through the reasons why I am going car free.
    A car is a resource intensive way to travel.Beyond the manufacturing process，the usage of cars also consume lots of energy.And that leaves a huge carbon footprint.So not driving a car helps us to save the Earth.But the elephant in the room is definitely the financial cost of owning a car in Singapore.It costs around ＄365，000 to own a brand new BMW 316 i over a 10 year period in Singapore.Moreover，driving in Singapore is a stressful experience.We don't exactly have the best behaved drivers in the world.
    Undoubtedly，not having a car does bring about inconveniences.Those with young kids and elderly folks may find it less convenient to travel on public transport.Rainy days would also be a pain if you are going to an unsheltered area.We will also have to cater more time to visit my parents on weekends，or send our son for his swimming or tuition lessons.
    Having said that，the truth is that we have already traveled most of the time by public transport on weekdays.The only difference is that we will now extend this way of life to Saturdays and Sundays.It will take some getting used to，but we are confident that it will still be worth it.

（1）What do we know from the first two paragraphs？
A.The author tried to renew the driving license but failed.
B.The author intends to quit driving due to road accidents.
C.The author grows tired of driving the same car for years.
D.The author's driving experience is enjoyable on the whole.
（2）Why is the BMW 316 i mentioned in Paragraph 3？
A.To promote a new model of the car brand.
B.To illustrate the huge cost of car ownership.
C.To demonstrate the full costs in making a car.
D.To stress the impressive performance of the car.
（3）What is the author's attitude towards going car free？
A.Doubtful.
B.Negative.
C.Positive.
D.Ambiguous.
（4）What could be a suitable title for the text？
A.Say Goodbye to My Car
B.My Brand-new Way of Driving
C.Traveling by Public Transport
D.My Driving Experience in Singapore

201596. （2025•长安区•二模）     It was a Tuesday night.In my apartment，I was doing three things at once-packing for a trip，trying to get dinner on the table and taking turns with my husband to calm a crying baby.Behind me，one work message after another popped up on my computer screen.I ignored them all.During dinner，a text appeared on my phone："Where are u？？？"asked my colleague.
    I didn't reply to the text.This wasn't the first time I'd ignored a digital summons（召唤）.I didn't mean to be disrespectful，but I was also aware of what I wanted my silence to communicate：This is not a priority for me now.
    For those who want to be polite，text-based digital communications can be extremely demanding.Ignoring a text message or an email feels rude，but should it？
    Cal Newport，the author of A World Without Email：Reimagining Work in an Age Communication Overload，has argued in his book that the etiquette（礼节） of digital communications is and should be different from that of in-person or phone conversation，especially when it comes to the back and forth of hellos，goodbyes and other pleasantries（打趣话）."In an in-person conversation it can feel rude not to finalize an exchange."he explained."But in the context of digital communication，the sender often prefers avoiding the receipt of additional messages when possible."
    Besides，in an era when we understand more and more the importance of rest and time away from screens，it is essential to prioritize our peace of mind and relationships with the people in our lives：when we're on vacation；when it's after 7 pm；when we're at the dinner table，
    It's also worth asking yourself who pressures you for immediate replies.Perhaps it's not the message sender，but you.A recent study found that we tend to overestimate our colleagues expectations for non-urgent work emails outside of work hours.So instead of criticizing yourself for not responding right away，consider slowing down and giving yourself a break，

（1）How does the author feel about ignoring the work message during family time？
A.Guilty.
B.Justified.
C.Indifferent.
D.Disrespectful.
（2）How does Cal Newport view the etiquette of digital communication compared to that of in-person conversation？
A.It should be the same.
B.It should be abandoned.
C.It should be more formal.
D.It should be less demanding.
（3）What should we do according to the last paragraph？
A.Remembor to put our family in the first place.
B.Find a good way to balance our work and life.
C.Realize the urgency and importance of our work.
D.Avoid pushing ourselves to respond to messages.
（4）Which of the following questions can be answered in the text？
A.Is it always rude to ignore digital communications？
B.Does politeness matter a lot in digital communications？
C.Why should we depend less on digital communications？
D.How can we express ourselves in digital communications？

201634. （2025•铁一中学•六模）     As a freelance （自由职业的） writer，the structure of my workday can often vary wildly.Sometimes，it feels as if I have too much to do —other days，too little.Yet no matter the shape of my 9 to 5，one thing remains constant：emails.
    About a year ago，I found my email-checking habit had become more distracting （分心的） than usual.When working on my computer，I found myself nervously checking my phone for unread emails whenever hitting a mental block.Even worse，during lunch or walks，that habit of checking would come with me，making my breaks an extension of the workday.
    The little red dot on my Gmail app had become a marker of my professional image：the more unread emails，the more I felt I was failing.By quickly responding to everyone，I convinced myself I was seen as reliable by my paymasters and therefore worthy of the work I needed to pay my electricity bills，so I could charge my phone，read my emails and carry on the endless cycle.
    However，speed doesn't always mean quality.I was always contactable —but at what cost？I took on too much work，not allowing myself space to reflect on the value of my work.The content machine kept running and I was busy，producing "word salad" onto the internet.Something needed to change.After a particularly crazy week of nonstop emailing，I deleted the email app.
    The difference was immediately noticeable.I began to rest better.Now，my workdays remain unpredictable，but I've realised that a lack of structure needn't stop me setting boundaries （边界） for myself.Uninterrupted breaks help me focus when I get back to work.Taking a few hours to respond to messages —instead of just minutes —often makes no difference to the sender and allows me to digest the content properly.
    I am still surviving as a freelancer in a fast-paced industry，but now I can spend my time endlessly checking my phone for Instagram stories instead.

（1）How did the email-checking habit affect the author？
A.It caused him mental disorder.
B.It made his breaks less relaxing.
C.It kept him extremely impatient.
D.It changed the structure of his workday.
（2）Why did the author feel the need to respond to emails quickly？
A.He wanted to avoid long working hours.
B.He sought high pay to cover electricity bills.
C.He desired to maintain a professional image.
D.He believed multitasking ensured employment.
（3）What does the author imply by mentioning "word salad" in paragraph 4？
A.He was far from productive.
B.He valued quality over quantity.
C.His work was creative and tasteful.
D.His work lacked meaningful content.
（4）What does the author learn after deleting the email app？
A.Email senders prefer thoughtful replies.
B.Social media is more important than email.
C.Setting boundaries can improve work efficiency.
D.Freelancerould get used to a fast-paced lifestyle.

201653. （2025•高新一中•十模）     Nearly 40 years ago，at the start of my career，I drove through a summer rainstorm to buy a copy of Henry David Thoreau's Walden.Thoreau，a 19th-century naturalist and philosopher，offered a sense of balance as I managed journalism's tight deadlines with the need for a break.While I don't live in a woodland cabin，repeated readings of Walden have taught me mindfulness principles that remain as useful today as they were nearly two centuries ago.
    Although summer travel is a cherished tradition，I can't routinely seek mindfulness through distant getaways.Thoreau，who boasted about traveling "a good deal in Concord"，found inspiration close to home.Following Thoreau's lead，I try to make time each morning to scan the bird feeders outside my home.Just a few minutes of this routine lowers my stress level and leaves me calmer for the day ahead.
    Although Thoreau is best known for Walden，he also kept a journal that stretches to 14 volumes and some 2 million words.I long to practice journalizing as a kind of spiritual exercise in expressing the pulses and routines of life more fully.Although I'll never match Thoreau's diligence，I keep a small journal in my pocket，and having it near reminds me to notice little things.Journalizing helps me see my life as a story，slowing its pace so that I can engage more purposefully within each hour.
    Though often regarded as a loner，Thoreau was known to take people along on his hikes.A recent kayak（皮划艇） club activity reminded me that fellowship inspires collective respect and surprise.I wouldn't have spotted a turtle kayaking if another kayaker hadn't pointed it out.As I pursue mindfulness，fellow travelers' support shows me that the hunger for mental centeredness is a shared human condition.It's why Thoreau alternated between privacy and society，recognizing that they could mutually support his desire to live with attentive purpose.

（1）What inspiration did the author get from Thoreau in Paragraph 2？
A.Keeping relaxed in the writing.
B.Seeking insights in the familiar.
C.Identifying birds for scientific recording.
D.Finding mindfulness from distant traveling.
（2）Why did the author keep a journal like Thoreau？
A.To live his life with a goal.
B.To write as a form of reflection.
C.To develop himself to be diligent.
D.To polish his sense of journalizing.
（3）What does the author highlight in the last paragraph？
A.Finding partners in mindfulness.
B.Desiring attention from society.
C.Appreciating endangered species.
D.Treating mindfulness as an individual pursuit.
（4）What is the main idea of the text？
A.The reasons behind Thoreau's decision to write Walden.
B.Thoreau's commitment to mindfulness and its significance.
C.The author's experience of living in the wild like Thoreau.
D.The calming influence of Thoreau's words on the author.

201986. （2023•新城区•二模） Kala has deep ties to her Hawaiian roots.Her ancestors navigated（航行）the oceans for centuries using their knowledge of the stars，the sun，the currents and the wind.It's not that she does it in a canoe without technology，but rather uses the natural technology around her.It's called Way finding，and was taught to her by her father.
   "My father was my foundation，my rock."she says of her first voyage with him from Oahu to Lahaina in a traditional canoe.He taught her how to read the stars，the ocean swells and how to use them to hold the course."Over 200 stars have specific names and purposes when you are Way finding.You have to look at each and determine if they are rising or setting.You know this star and the direction it represents.If you can do that，you can use it as a tool to orient（确定方向）."Kala added.
   Kala Tanaka sailed the canoe in the ocean for up to three weeks.During the day，Kala used the sun until it hit a certain height.When she got closer to land，she looked for certain species of land birds and clouds that indicated there was land below.When Kala sailed she felt"I feel very connected to the crew and the canoe.We're a family."The longer voyage required Kala to spend hours studying the day and the night skies.It was demanding physical work.But it also had its moments of awe.For Kala，the beauty was in tying together the past and the present to enjoy the moment.So when she was not sailing，she was teaching Way finding skills to school-aged children in hopes of preserving the skills her ancestors relied on.
   It's easy to be lost in the immediacy of the technology of our day，to be consumed by screens and miss the nature that unfolds around us.But if we will take the time to look up，to see the stars and the sun，the way the clouds move，the miracle of life beneath and above us，we will discover something deep inside us，something that will always lead to happiness.

22266. （2016•新课标•ll卷） A new collection of photos brings an unsuccessful Antarctic voyage back to life.
Frank Hurley's pictures would be outstanding----undoubtedly first-rate photo-journalism---if they had been made last week.In fact,they were shot from 1914through 1916，most of them after a disastrous shipwreck（海难），by a cameraman who had no reasonable expectation of survival.Many of the images were stored in an ice chest,under freezing water,in the damaged wooden ship.
The ship was the Endurance,a small,tight,Norwegian-built three-master that was intended to take Sir Ernest Shackleton and a small crew of seamen and scientists,27men in all,to the southernmost shore of Antarctica's Weddell Sea.From that point Shackleton wanted to force a passage by dog sled（雪橇） across the continent.The journey was intended to achieve more than what Captain Robert Falcon Scott had done.Captain Scott had reached the South Pole early in 1912but had died with his four companions on the march back.
As writer Caroline Alexander makes clear in her forceful and well-researched story The Endurance,adventuring was even then a thoroughly commercial effort.Scott's last journey,completed as be lay in a tent dying of cold and hunger,caught the world's imagination,and a film made in his honor drew crowds.Shackleton,a onetime British merchant-navy officer who had got to within 100miles of the South Pole in 1908，started a business before his 1914voyage to make money from movie and still photography.Frank Hurley,a confident and gifted Australian photographer who knew the Antarctic,was hired to make the images,most of which have never before been published.

33．What do we know about the photos taken by Hurley？
A．They were made last week
B．They showed undersea sceneries
C．They were found by a cameraman
D．They recorded a disastrous adventure
34．Who reached the South Pole first according to the text？
A．Frank Hurley
B．Ernest Shackleton
C．Robert Falcon Scott
D．Caroline Alexander
35．What does Alexander think was the purpose of the 1914voyage？
A．Artistic creation
B．Scientific research
C．Money making
D．Treasure hunting.

202224. （2022•临潼区•一模） Camelli's duty was simple：to give back to the community where she was raised.Warren，Ohio lies just thirteen miles north of Youngstown，the former center of steel production，and now one of the neediest cities in the country.Both cities' populations and its finance have been on the decline each year，with unemployment rates surpassing both the state and national average.
   But it wasn't always this way.Thirty years ago，when Camelli was a student at Howland High School，the school where she now teaches Advanced Placement Psychology，"The poorness level was around 6%，" she says.Today，it is closer to 40%.
   This financial condition influences everything from the way students learn，to their ability to deal with social and emotional issues.Knowing this，Camelli created Paw Pantry.Whether it's for food，clothes，school supplies or personal hygiene（卫生）products，students and their parents can go on the district's website and fill out a request form for Paw Pantry products.They can choose to pick their items up-or have them delivered-at school.
   Camelli mentioned Paw Pantry when she attended her high school activity in 2017.It made her former classmates aware of how their hometown has changed over the years. "soon，money started pouring in from all over the country，all over the world，" she says.
   In just a year and a half since the Paw Pantry began，Camelli has received plenty of non-perishable （不易变质的）food，clothing，lunch boxes，backpacks，school supplies-even home goods，including a refrigerator，a washer and dryer，and a stove.
   Camelli actively shows her students the power of connection. "I'm definitely kinder because of Ms.Camelli.Ms.Camelli is a mother，but she's also a mother figure for all of us".Blake says，"Ms.Camelli，you will never understand how happy this act of your caring had made me，" she added.
   Camelli is a community activist，a mental heath supporter，and by many people's standards，she's most certainly a hero，but she doesn't see herself that way.And that's what she as a teacher should do.

（1）What does the underlined word "neediest" in the first paragraph mean？
A．Liveliest.
B．Riskiest.
C．Remotest.
D．Poorest.
（2）What can we infer from the passage？
A．Paw Pantry didn't go well.
B．Paw Pantry gained much support.
C．Camelli was hopeful about Paw Pantry's future.
D．Many people treated Paw Pantry with doubt.
（3）How does Blake feel about Ms.Camelli？
A．Grateful.
B．Annoyed.
C．Unconcerned.
D．Confused.
（4）What can we learn about Camelli from the last paragraph？
A．She feels great about herself.
B．She won't continue her teaching career.
C．She thinks that she just does what a teacher does.
D．She doesn't think she has done enough.

202081. （2022•西安中学•六模） My mother always told me，"You should explore your own country before stepping out into the world." However，it seems like a tough mission to travel all across its expansive surfaces.But luckily for me，Via Rail Canada offered youths between the ages of 18 and 25 the chance to ride the train across Canada for the month of July.The ticket was a bargain ＄150.My best friends Trevor，Joel and Jeremy and I immediately jumped at the opportunity and secured four tickets on the great Canadian railroad.
   For a group of 20-year-olds，this was like the first flight of young birds from the nest.When we approached the train station in the morning，our 22-day adventure from Sudbury to Vancouver was to begin.Eyes baggy from lack of sleep，we jumped on board as if it was the train to Hogwarts in Harry Potter.Although the thought of three full days on those tracks covering close to 3，000 kilometres crushed our spirits a little，what happened next caught us by surprise.
   The three days on board turned into a summer camp on rails.At night，we would climb up the glass-domed train car，which gave us a scenic view of the starry night sky，untouched by the harmful light pollution.Before we knew it，the warm sun rays beating down on our faces woke us up for another day on the rails.To my surprise，a sea of golden grain fields dominated the landscape we were in the Canadian Prairies.
   Another day slipped away and we set up for another night in the dome.And this time we were greeted by night sky painted by a fantastic thunderstorm.Lightning was striking at an incredible rate.The spectacular and memorable light show left everyone in the glass bubble in complete disbelief.
   Arriving in the Rocky Mountains was one of the most surrealistic（超现实的） experiences of my life.Before the train adventure，if I could have skipped the travel and arrived at the destination，I would have.That is no longer true.I've learned that the journey can be more enjoyable than the destination.

（1）What has made the author's train adventure across Canada a reality？
A．The encouragement given by his mother.
B．The appeal of the scenic views in the country.
C．The discount ticket offered by Via Rail Canada.
D．His great courage to challenge a tough mission.
（2）What can we infer about the young people from Paragraph 2？
A．They were excited about the coming train journey.
B．They left their parents for the first time in their life.
C．They never thought of having a train adventure.
D．They were hooked by the magic story of Harry Potter.
（3）What does "the glass bubble" in the fourth paragraph refer to？
A．A brain in lack of imagination.
B．The glass-domed train car.
C．A summer camp on the train.
D．The sightseeing bus.
（4）What did the author learn from the train adventure across Canada？
A．Opportunities are hard to get.
B．Enjoying a journey counts a lot.
C．Splendid scenery attracts young people.
D．The traveling experience is not real to him.

202083. （2022•西安中学•六模） Just when we thought we had seen all the magical things that 3 D printing can do，here comes another-a working artificial leg has transformed the life of a little Canadian duckling（小鸭） called Dudley，who had been struggling to get by after losing a leg.
   The story began on August 19th，2013，when the newly-born healthy Dudley and his brother were placed inside a chicken coop（笼子）at the K9-1-1 Animal and Rescue Services in Sicamous，British Columbia.Within a few hours，an aggressive chicken attacked the two，killing Dudley's brother and leaving him with a disability!
   While Dudley could swim with his single leg，he had a hard time walking on the firm ground.Determined to help him，Doug Nelson，the owner of the shelter decided to consult Terence Loring，the founder of a design firm that among other things also offers 3 D printing designs.
   Given that he had just launched 3 pillar designs，Terence somewhat hesitated to take on a duckling as his first client（客户）.But as soon as he saw brave little Dudley walking around on one leg，Terence knew he had to do something.Using his biomedical engineering training，Terence spent the next few weeks creating a 3 D template（模板），after he found out how ducks' legs work in YouTube videos about ducks.Once ready，he sent them to Ontario-based 3 D engineering firm Proto3000，who agreed to print the leg.
   The second artificial leg was much stronger than the first one.When the artificial leg that is printed from strong ABS，a thermoplastic（热塑性塑料） that becomes soft and moldable when heated and attached to a foot designed from soft and flexible robber-like plastic，was fitted to Dudley，his whole manner changed.He wagged his tail and showed it off to his best friend一a pig called Elsie.
   Of course，as Dudley has been growing，the leg and foot have had to be replaced.But that hasn't bothered Terence who continues to improve the design.The best part is that Terence has put all the designs on his website so that anyone wishing to help out an animal suffering from a similar injury can do so，by simply hitting the print button on his/her 3 D printer!

（1）How did Dudley lose his leg？
A．He wasn't well looked after.
B．He lost it in a traffic accident.
C．He lost it in a chicken attack.
D．He was born with a disability.
（2）What do we know about Terence Loring's design firm？
A．It is the first one to offer 3 D printing designs.
B．3 D printing designs are only part of its services.
C．Its main clients are injured animals.
D．It often cooperates with Proto3000.
（3）What did Terence first do to make an artificial leg for Dudley？
A．Consulting Dudley's owner about the solution.

202119. （2022•西安中学•二模） When I was 6，my elder brother brought me to the local BMX（自行车越野） track to ride in a kid's race for the first time.The hill out of the starting gate looked so scary and steep that I backed off.My parents took me back for another try the next week.I fell almost immediately but still managed to win the second place.I've loved racing ever since.
   I turned pro at 15，which isn't possible now：You have to be 17 to compete professionally around the time I went pro.BMX became an Olympic sport and I decided to pursue it after high school.I'm the youngest woman with a professional title in the United States.
   BMX isn't judged on tricks or how you handle barriers，but it's an extreme sport.It's like horse racing mixed with riding a roller coaster.It starts with a huge burst of speed - I go 40 mph by the time.I'm two and a half seconds out of the gate.Then I try to come out in front of seven competitors at the end of the track，which includes 40-foot jumps.I keep chasing the high that comes from prestart nervousness，big jumps，and that feeling of crossing the finish line first.
   Strength and balance are key in competition，so I work out at least five days a week to prepare.I do tons of resistance and agility（灵活）training，both on and off the bike.I also do mental drills with a sports psychologist to make sure I'm focused and confident going into competition.If I make a mistake on the course，I have to move on.Everyone is out to beat me；I need to concentrate on winning so my competitors can't capitalize on an error and pass me!
   I was so proud to win a silver medal at the Olympics in Rio，but I felt I was capable of gold，so that will push me to do better.I'm continually working to reach my potential in the sport.Until I feel completely satisfied，I'll keep coming back.

202148. （2022•西安中学•八模） I'm running some 3，550 kilometers.To be more precise，this jog is mostly around my neighborhood in Ottawa.It is the distance by air to Vancouver that my friend Lucy and I are doing.If we make it，Lucy and I will get on a plane to Vancouver and compete in one of the BMO Vancouver Marathon weekend races.We may not win medals，but for sure we'll have cake for my seventy-fifth birthday at the finish line.
   The workout for big birthdays represents a big change for me.I used to hate birthdays，especially those milestone ones.No longer feeling young is horrible.As I approached my sixtieth birthday，Lucy suggested setting targets to mark milestone birthdays. "That way you are looking forward to something，not dreading it，" she pointed out.
   By doing those expanding my world or demanding new skills，I feel myself growing，not shrinking.For my sixtieth，I got it into my head that I should do an Olympic distance triathlon （铁人三项赛），which turned out to be a real milestone.After over four hours on the course，I was last among the 95 competitors.But I was the oldest woman competing，so that made me first in my age category.Since then，I've looked on the special days as a call for trying something different.For my sixty-fifth birthday，I went to run a half marathon.And I finished seven activities that took me out of my "comfort zone" at seventy.
   I'm fortunate to have celebrated so many birthdays in good health and spirits，so whether I succeed in running to Vancouver or not，I'm grateful for the opportunity.One thing I've learned in taking up these challenges is that there are many possibilities for new adventures and achievements，even as we grow older.So do spend every day of every year with a definite end in view，which will release your energy and make you happy.

（1）How does the author plan to celebrate her 75th birthday？
A．Joining in a marathon race.

202205. （2022•长安区一中•五模） Having worked for more than a decade in finance in the oil industry in Canada，Tori Fahey found herself wanting more from life.But it wasn't through desperation that her circumstances changed： "I didn't get fed up and storm off，nothing like that；it was curiosity about other interests and wanting to experience something new."
   Fahey left her job and completed an MBA before setting up a move to New York to begin a degree.However，the opportunity of an open year between the MBA and the degree came up，and as a keen touring cyclist，Fahey realised that a much dreamed-about adventure was now becoming a possibility："The ride in Africa had been on my fantasy list.It was a moment when I realised that I could do anything，so I should."

"It was through my trip across Africa that I discovered pannier and rack systems inconvenient and I was never going to use them again." Little did she know this would lead her to start up her own company.
   In 2013，Apidura was born，producing storage solutions for people looking to travel the world by bike，race across continents and carry all they need to do so.It's now a successful global brand，but Fahey remains reflective about what else the company can do for people.

202348. （2021•西安中学•五模） Unless your parent is a head chef or bento box（便当盒）master，school lunch is usually nothing to write home about.For artist and father Dominick Cabalo，however，his son Nicholas' lunches are an oil painting cloth for creativity.Cabalo makes carefully designed drawings on each of 12-year-old Nicholas' paper lunch bags，usually representing popular lively characters and colorful superheroes.
   Cabalo began drawing on the bags about three years ago to help Nicholas make new friends in elementary school. "I noticed he was a bit shy when it came to talking to others，" he said.

"He's broken out of hiell because of this，and I like to think that I had a hand in helping him do this with these bags." he wrote.
   Nicholas keeps most of the bags. "Some come back in better condition than others，" Cabalo said. "We may lose one due to the occasional wet sandwich or leaky drink，but that's to be expected." As for the bags that make it home undamaged，Cabalo posts their photos to social media.His favorites are the more time-consuming series of bags that can be joined up to create a larger image，such as the "Finding Nemo" triptych（三联画）.
