考查细节理解。根据第一段中的“Since1985，JohnnyJennings,86，hasbeensellingnewspapersandmagazinestoarecyclingcenterwithhisson”和第四段中的“Overthecourseof32yearshehasrecycled”可知，JohnnyJennings开始回收废旧物品时应该是54岁。2．A 考查词义猜测。根据该词所在句及前一句“Onceayear,he'llgivetheorganizationachecksomewherebetween$10,000and$35,000.By2022,thattalliedupto$400,000”中的数据可知，tallied意为：计算总数。所以A项正确。3．D 考查推理判断。根据第三段中的“Communitymembersdropoffotherrecyclablesathishousesohecansellthem，alongwithbooks，food，clothes,andotheritemstogiveaway”可知，JohnnyJennings所在社区的成员们支持他回收废旧物品资助慈善机构的工作。4．B 考查推理判断。文章讲述JohnnyJennings常年回收废旧物品资助慈善机构的故事。所以是回收废旧物品资助慈善机构的故事让JohnnyJennings与众不同。二、单句语法填空1．Shecan'ttolerate________(treat)thatway.答案：beingtreated toleratedoingsth.“容忍做某事”。主语she与treat之间为被动关系，故填动名词的被动形式，即beingtreated。2．Yourartskillsareexcellentandadmirable,whichleavemeadeep________(impress)．答案：impression leavesb.adeepimpression“给某人留下深刻印象”。8\n3．________(devote)tohisresearchwork,theprofessorcaredlittleaboutotherthings.答案：Devoted 本句中含有bedevotedto的结构，结合句子结构可知，应用过去分词短语作状语，描述一种状态，即“潜心于研究工作”，故填devoted。4．Pleasepassthepapersontothestudents________(seat)atthebackoftheclassroom.答案：seated 分析句子结构可知，设空处作定语，修饰thestudents，因此用所给词的形容词形式表示“入座的，就座的”这种状态。故填seated。5．Salesdirectorisaposition________communicationabilityisjustasimportantassalesskills.答案：where 设空处所填词引导定语从句，指代表抽象地点的先行词position，关系词在从句中作状语，意为“在此职位上”，故填where。6．In________(come)theheadmaster,followedbyagroupofstudents.答案：came 表示方向的副词位于句首，且句子主语为名词，句子应采用全部倒装结构。7．Hetriedtorunawaybutgaveupwhenhefoundhimself________(surround)．答案：surrounded 本句中宾语himself和surround存在被动关系，应用过去分词作宾补，故填surrounded。8．Theoldmangotonthebus,________(support)byagirl.答案：supported theoldman与support之间为被动关系，故填过去分词supported，在此处作方式状语。9．Heisalwaysreadytotake________heavyresponsibilities.答案：up takeup“开始担当(新的责任)”。takeupresponsibility“承担责任”。10．Nooneinthecarriagehad________(previous)spokentotheticketownerbefore.答案：previously 句意：事先车上没人和这个持票人说过话。副词作状语修饰动词短语hadspokento。三、完形填空。MildredWebingaFreemanwasanEnglishteacheratthenewmiddleschoolIattendedintheninthgrade.Shewasn'tmy__1__;shewastheadvisertothesafetypatrol(巡逻队)onwhichI__2__.Ilovedbeingaroundherand__3__hersenseofhumorandkindpersonality.Shewas__4__agoodlistener.Attheendoftheyear,she__5__thatshewasmovingtoFlorida,andIwasverysad.Weexchanged__6__andbecamepenpals.Icouldtellher__7__，andshetreated8\nme__8__respecteventhoughIwasateenager.InFlorida,Mrs.FreemanbecameaRealtor(房地产经纪人),__9__shemanagedtofindtimetowriteletters.Shewrote__10__storiesandalwaystookmyconcerns__11__.Shehadgivenmea(n)__12__invitationtovisit,andImissedhersomuch.WhenI__13__totakeheruponthe__14__，sheanswered,“Getyourshoesonandyourbags__15__!Youarewelcomeanytime！”IspentthreeweekswithherinMiami.Her__16__ofpoetry,music,andcreativewriting__17__metofollowtheseendeavors(努力).Oneday__18__hangingsheetsontheclothesline,she__19__andsaid,“Youknow,theskyisfuelforthesoul.”Ihadneverlookedatthe__20__beforehearingthosewords.Twoyearslater,IreceivedacallthatMrs.Freemanhadpassedaway.【文章大意】'本文主要讲述了作者在中学期间和一名英语老师之间的故事。1．A.motherB．friendC．classmateD．teacher答案与解析：D'根据上文中的“MildredWebingaFreemanwasanEnglishteacheratthenewmiddleschoolIattendedintheninthgrade.”和空后的“shewastheadvisertothesafetypatrol(巡逻队)”可推知，MildredWebingaFreeman不是作者的老师(teacher)，下文中的“andbecamepenpals”也是提示。2．A.servedB．advisedC．expectedD．led答案与解析：A
