本文是一篇说明文。作者首先描述了昔日大家生活在同一屋檐下、彼此联系、舒服惬意的生活，然后与如今的快节奏生活进行对比，阐述了快节奏对人们的危害，并介绍了SlowMovement的目的和内容。1．解析：选D。细节理解题。根据第三段第二句中“dadwouldbesentoutbacktokillthechickenfordinner”和第三句“Everyonewasinvolvedincookingandmealtimeswereasocialevent.”可知，我们与食物的联系来自于我们自己准备和制作食物。故答案选D。2．解析：选C。细节理解题。根据文章第五段对fastlife的介绍中提到的高频词汇“fast”“fastpacedlife”“Stress”及“healthproblems”等可知，现代生活的特点是快速、忙碌、压力大。故答案选C。3．解析：选B。细节理解题。根据文章第五段第三句“Wehavebeenfooledintothinking12\nweneedto，orevenmust，befastandhavewhatthe‘fastlife’givesus.”可知，在现代社会中，我们已经被愚弄或被“洗脑”，认为我们必须快节奏地生活，接受快节奏生活所带给我们的一切。由此可知，我们对现代生活的想法是不明智的。故答案选B。4．解析：选D。写作意图题。通读文章可知，作者按照“描述传统生活的好处——对比并批判现代的快节奏生活——引入SlowMovement的目的与内容”这一结构行文，根据作者的态度与文章结构可知，作者归根结底是为了推出并支持SlowMovement这一世界性的活动。而A、B、C三项或是表述片面，或只是文章表面意思。故答案选D。CWanttoimproveyourwritingskills?NewWritingSouthisdirectingtheway!·TownerWriterSquad(班组）forkidsaged13-17LedbycomedyandTVwriter,MarianKilpatrick,TownerWriterSquadwillmeetonceamonthatthecontemporaryartmuseumfor11months,starting12October,2022.TheFREEsquadsessionswillincludeintroductionstoawiderangeofwritingstyles,frompoetrytoplaywritingandlyrics(抒情诗）toflashfiction,tosupportthedevelopmentofyoungwriters.Application&SelectionIfyouwouldliketoapplytobepartoftheTownerWriterSquad,pleasesendasamplepieceofyourwriting(about500words),respondingtothetitle‘LUNCH,’withyourname,age,addressande-mailaddressto:debo@newwritingsouth.com.Onceallapplicationsarein,youwillbeinvitedtoanopenselectioneventon17September，4-5pm,atthegalleryofTowner.ThiswillbeaninformalopportunitytomeettheSquadLeader,SquadAssociateandotheryoungpeople.Youwillalsohaveachancetogettoknowthefantasticgalleryspaceandgetatasteofwhat’stocome.Deadlineforapplications:8September,2022Forfurtherinformationgoto:facebook.com/townerortowner.org.ukornewwritingsouth.comAnyquestions一feelfreetosendyoure-mailtoTownerWriterSquadAssociate:whame@towner.gov.uk﹡﹡﹡﹡﹡﹡﹡﹡﹡·BeginnerWritingProjectforkidsaged10-13Duetopopulardemand,awritingprojectwillbestartedforeagerbeginners.Starttime:6September,202212\nMeeteveryotherSaturday，2-4pm,attheTownerStudyCentre.Studyandwriteatyourownpace一youdonothavetorush一asyouhaveayeartogothroughtheproject.Practiseundertheguidanceofsomeexperiencedwritersandteacherswhocanhelpyouwithbasicwritingskills.Mostimportantly,buildconfidenceandhavefunwhilewriting!Nopreviousexperienceorspecialbackgroundisrequired.Manyothershavebeensuccessfulthisway.Iftheycandoit,whycan’tyou?Fee:£179Formoreinformationgoto:newtowner.org.ukorgenerate.org.uk1.TownerWriterSquadwillbestarted_______.A.totraincomedyandTVwritersB.toexplorethefantasticgalleryspaceC.tointroduceacontemporaryartmuseumD.topromotethedevelopmentofyoungwriters2.TojointheWriterSquad，eachapplicantshouldfirst_______.A.provideapieceoftheirwritingB.meettheWriterSquadLeaderC.offertheirfamilyinformationD.completeanapplicationform3.ApplicationsfortheWriterSquadshouldbee-mailednolaterthan_______.A.6September,2022B.8September,2022C.17September,2022D.12October,20224.Whatismostimportantforthebeginners?A.Practisingasmuchaspossible.B.Gainingconfidenceandhavingfun.C.Studyingandwritingattheirownpace.D.Learningskillsfromwritersandteachers.5.MoreinformationaboutBeginnerWritingProjectcanbefoundat_______.A.facebook.com/townerB.newwritingsouth.comC.newtowner.org.ukD.towner.org.uk文章大意：本文叙述了两个想要提高写作技能的培训班以及这两个培训班的具体要求和收费等其他的信息。1.D。细节题。本题考察细节，A项是对TowerWriterSquare的错误理解。在第一行中只是提及这个活动是有comedyandTVwriter组织的，并不是说这个活动就是为了培养comedyandTVwriter。B项只是这个活动的一个附加部分。C项不是这个活动目的。根据第一则广告第二段最后一句tosupportthedevelopmentofyoungwriters。说明这个活动的目的是促进青年作家的发展。故D正确。12\n2.A。细节题。根据第一则广告第三段2,3行pleasesendasamplepieceofyourwriting。可知要想参加这个活动，需要先提供自己的一个作品。BCD三项都不是必须的条件。故A正确。3.B。细节题。根据第一则广告中Deadlineforapplicantions:8September2022可知申请时间是2022年9月8日。可知申请者要申请不要晚于9月8日。故B正确。4.B。细节题。根据第二则广告中Mostimportantly,buildconfidenceandhavefunwhilewriting。可知作者认为对于刚刚开始的人来说，最重要的是要有信心和开心。5.C。细节题。根据本广告最后一句Formoreinformationgoto:newtowner.org.ukorgenerate.org.uk可知要想得到第二则广告的更多信息，请登录这个网站。故C正确。D(2022·吉林第二次调研)Mystudentsoftentellmethattheydon’thave“enoughtime”todoalltheirschoolwork.Myreplyisoftenabrief“You_have_as_much_time_as_the_president.”Itellthemthat“notenoughtime”isnotanacceptableexplanationofnotgettingsomethingdone.Onceingraduateschool,ItriedtoprovetooneofmyprofessorsbysayingthatIwasworkinghard.Hisanswertomewas,“That’sirrelevant(无关的).What’simportantisthequalityofyourwork.”Ifyouanalyzethematter,youcanidentifytwopartsoftheproblem:Thereis,ofcourse，thematterof“time”，whichwecanthinkofasfixed.Thenthereistheproblemof“work”duringthattime.But,asmyprofessorsuggested,it’snothow12\nhardoneworksbutthequalityoftheproductthat’simportant.Thatledmetoanewidea:thequalityofthework.ThatconceptisperhapsbestexplainedbyasignIoncesawonthewallinsomeone’soffice：“Don’tworkharder.Worksmarter.”Thereisalotofsenseinthatidea.Ifyoucan’tgetmoretime,theonlysolutionistoimprovethequalityofthework.Thatmeansthinkingofwaystogetmoreoutofthesametimethanwemightotherwiseget.Thatshouldleadustoananalysisofourworkhabits.Since“work”forstudentsusuallymeans“homework”，theexpression“workhabits”shouldbereadas“studyhabits”．Then,asasmartst

本文是一篇议论文。人们经常抱怨时间不够用，但每个人每天所拥有的时间是相同的。仅仅工作努力还不够，最重要的是提高工作质量。对于聪明的学生而言，这就需要改善学习技巧，主要是阅读和写作技巧。1．解析：选B。推理判断题。根据第一段中“Mystudents”可推知，作者是一名教师。故选B项，意为“教育工作者”。A项意为“诗人”；C项意为“小说家”；D项意为“工程师”，都不符合作者身份。2．解析：选A。句意理解题。阅读第一段和第二段可知，学生们抱怨时间不够，作业完成不了。作者认为，时间不够不是做不完作业的理由，因为学生和总统一样，每天都有24小时的时间，但总统每天要处理很多事。由此可知，答案为A项。3．解析：选D。推理判断题。根据第六段第一句“Ifyoucan’tgetmoretime，theonlysolutionistoimprovethequalityofthework.”可知，我们不能获得更多时间，所以唯一能做的就是提高工作质量。由此可知，明智地工作就是提高工作质量。故选D项。E(2022·河南开封一模)GwendolynBrookswasthefirstAfricanAmericantowinaPulitzerPrizeforPoetry.GwendolynBrookswrotehundredsofpoemsduringherlifetime.ShewasknownaroundtheworldforusingpoetrytoincreaseunderstandingaboutblackcultureinAmerica.Herpoemsdescribedconditionsamongthepoor，racialinequalityanddruguseintheblackcommunity.Shealsowrotepoemsaboutthestrugglesofblackwomen.Butherskillwasmorethanherabilitytowriteaboutstrugglingblackpeople.Shewasanexpertatthelanguageofpoetry.ShecombinedtraditionalEuropeanpoetrystyleswiththeAfricanAmericanexperience.Inherearlypoetry,GwendolynBrookswroteabouttheSouthSideofChicago12\n：TheSouthSideofChicagoiswheremanyblackpeoplelive.Inherpoems，theSouthSideiscalledBronzeville.ItwasAStreetinBronzevillethatgainedtheattentionofliteraryexpertsin1945.Criticspraisedherpoeticskillandherpowerfuldescriptionsoftheblackexperienceduringthetime.TheBronzevillepoemswereherfirstpublishedcollection.In1950,GwendolynBrooksbecamethefirstAfricanAmericantowinthePulitzerPrizeforPoetry.ShewontheprizeforhersecondbookofpoemscalledAnnieAllen.AnnieAllenisacollectionofpoetryaboutthelifeofaBronzevillegirlasadaughter，awifeandamother.Sheexperiencesloneliness，loss，deathandbeingpoor.Ms.Brookssaidthatwinningtheprizechangedherlife.Hernextworkwasanovelwrittenin1953calledMaudMartha.MaudMarthareceivedlittlenoticewhenitwasfirstpublished.Butnowitisconsideredanimportantworkbysomecritics.Itsmainideasaboutthedifficultlifeofmanywomenarepopularamongfemalewriterstoday.Insomeofherpoems，GwendolynBrooksdescribedhowwhatpeopleseeinlifeisaffectedbywhotheyare.Oneexampleisthispoem，CornersontheCuringSky.Bytheendofthe1960s,GwendolynBrooks’spoetryexpandedfromtheeverydayexperiencesofpeopleinBronzeville.Shewroteaboutawiderworldanddealtwithimportantpoliticalissues.1．Whatdoesthetextmainlytalkabout?A．ThelifeofGwendolynBrooks.B．ThepoemsofGwendolynBrooks.C．Theunderstandingaboutblackculture.D．Thestrugglesofblackwomen.2．WhatcanwelearnaboutGwendolynBrooksfromthesecondparagraph?A．Shemainlywroteaboutthestrugglesofblackwomen.B．Shewasgoodatusingthelanguageofpoetry.C．Herwritingskillswerealittleworsethanherability.D．HerpoemsweremainlyabouttheAfricanexperience.3．Theauthordevelopsthepassagemainlyby________．A．providingexamplesB．usingstatisticsC．comparingopinionsD．describingherexperiences12\n4．Inthenextpart,theauthorwouldmostprobablytalkabout________．A．thedifficultiesGwendolynBrookswouldmeetB．thepoemsrelatedtopoliticalissuesC．theawardsGwendolynBrooksgainedD．theracialinequalitytheblackhadtoface【解题导语】 文章介绍了普利策诗歌奖的第一位非裔美国人得主——女诗人格温德琳·布鲁克斯的作品成就和作品风格。1．B 解析：主旨大意题。文章向我们介绍了著名女诗人布鲁克斯的诗歌风格及作品特点。故B项最为恰当。2．B 解析：细节理解题。根据文章第二段倒数第二句Shewasanexpertatthelanguageofpoetry.可知，她是诗歌语言运用方面的专家，即她擅长运用诗歌语言。故选B项。3．A 解析：推理判断题。文章介绍的是诗人的诗歌成就及特点，根据文中的AStreetinBronzeville，AnnieAllen，MaudMartha,CornersontheCuringSky等可知，文章列举了她大量的作品作为例证。故选A项。4．B 解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段中的Shewroteaboutawiderworldanddealtwithimportantpoliticalissues.可知，20世纪60年代末，她的诗歌内容从人们的日常经历扩展到更宽的领域，开始涉及重要的政治问题，所以下文很可能会谈论与该话题相关的作品。12
