A

(2018·石家庄市高中毕业班教学质量检测二)I was in the middle of a sweet dream when a noise startled me. Bam! Bam! It sounded like a hammer pounding on a tough nail. Bam! Bam! BAM! Who could be hammering at three in the morning? It must be Charlie again, making another invention.

Just as I was putting on my slippers and clothes，the noise changed.I sat on the edge of my bed and listened.Tick！Tick！Tick！It reminded me of my first wristwatch. Its regular pace had always helped me fall asleep.

I started dozing off，dangerously leaning to the left，when the ticking stopped. It was then replaced by a buzz，similar to the noise coming from a beehive in midsummer, only louder.I shivered.I'm allergic to bees! Even just thinking about them or hearing a bee—like sound makes me swell.

“That's it！” I shouted，now wide awake.“I can't take it anymore！” I marched to the next apartment and knocked.My neighbor immediately opened the door.His curly brown hair was sticking up every which way. He wore baggy striped pants and a loose raspberry shirt.

“Hi, there, Lucy! What's up？” he asked.

I pointed at my noiseless watch.“Do you know what time it is？”

He grabbed my arm and glanced at my timepiece.“Oh, my! I didn't realize it was that late.I'm busy working on a machine that can cure insomnia(失眠)．It's almost finished.You want to see it？”

I should have known.His last invention was supposed to annihilate bad smells, but it was powered by rotten eggs.

【语篇解读】　本文是一篇人物故事类记叙文。作者在睡觉的时候，被一阵又一阵的噪声吵醒，原来是隔壁邻居Charlie在研制一种治疗失眠的机器，他没有意识到已经是凌晨了。

A．Her neighbor's silence.

B．The ticking sound.

C．The coming of the bees.

D．The smell of the rotten eggs.

【解析】 细节理解题。根据题干中的关键词sleepy定位到文章的第二段。根据第二段中的“Tick! Tick! Tick! It reminded me of my first wristwatch. Its regular pace had always helped me fall asleep”可知，作者的第一块腕表有规律的嘀嗒声总是帮助作者入睡，故答案是B。

【答案】 B

2．What was Charlie doing?

B．He was inventing a wristwatch.

C．He was working with the bees.

D．He was making a new machine.

【答案】 D

3．How did Charlie feel when he knew the time?

A．Disappointed.　　　　　　　B．Scared.

C．Surprised.                 D．Annoyed.

【解析】 推理判断题。根据第七段中的“Oh, my! I didn't realize it was that late”可知，Charlie一直在忙于自己的发明，根本就不知道时间已经那么晚了，所以当作者让他看时间的时候，他很吃惊。故答案是C。

【答案】 C

4．What does the underlined word “annihilate” in the last paragraph mean?

A．Get rid of.

B．Make use of.

C．Give off.

【解析】 词义猜测题。四个选项的意思分别是：Get rid of“摆脱，除掉”；Make use of“利用”；Give off“发出(气味、光、热、声音等)”；Tell apart“区分，辨别”。结合画线单词后面的bad smells，以及连词but后面的分句“it was powered by rotten eggs”(原本难闻的气味被腐烂的鸡蛋搞得更难闻了)可以推断，画线单词的意思是“消灭”，因此答案是A。

【答案】 A

B

 (2018· 新疆维吾尔自治区第一次适应性检测)Emma Watson entered our lives as the perfect Hermione Granger in 2001, and 16 years later, we're just as much in love with this charming, intelligent British girl, as ever. You may or may not be a Potter head, but a lot of people are charmed by Emma Watson's perfection.

Despite being a star performer at the young age of 11，she's never gone the Hollywood-spoiled-child route.In fact，she made all attempts to stay as normal as possible. She said，“Ignoring fame was my rebellion，in a funny way.I was insistent on being normal and doing normal things.It probably wasn't advisable to go to college in America and room with a complete stranger.And it probably wasn't wise to share a bathroom with eight other people in a dormitory. Looking back，I think that was crazy.”

She added，“I was very well-educated. My dad paid for me to go to a very good school，so I worked hard every single day at that school to make him proud of me.And I did, and I still do.”

If we had to imagine what Hermione Granger would have grown up to be like, we would say she'd be the Emma Watson of the Potter universe because there really is no way to separate the two. In the last few years，Emma has added more feathers to her cap than we imagined being humanly possible，which include actor，scholar，model and UN Women Goodwill Ambassador.In her role as a UN Women Goodwill Ambassador，she'd supported powerful causes to the best of her ability and brought them all the attention they deserve.

Emma Watson gave us the most accurate description of our favorite girl from the Potter universe.“Young girls are told you have to be a delicate princess. Hermione taught them that you can be a warrior.”

【语篇解读】　本文是一篇记叙文，主要介绍了《哈利·波特》系列电影中女主角赫敏·格兰杰的饰演者Emma Watson在11岁成名之后，仍然过着普通的生活。

(2018·福州市高三毕业班适应性练习)“Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree，it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.” —Albert Einstein

If you have a kid with special needs in the school system，chances are you have come across that saying hanging on a classroom wall. My five-year-old daughter Syona has cerebral palsy(脑瘫) and it means，combined with her communication challenges and sight problems，that standard assessments (and by “standard”，I mean the ones used to assess kids with special needs) aren't always an accurate measure of her abilities.

By now you have probably heard about Chris Ulmer，the 26?year?old teacher in Jacksonville，Florida，who starts his special education class by calling up each student individually to give them much admiration and a high five. I couldn't help but be reminded of Syona's teacher and how he supports each kid in a very similar way. Ulmer recently shared a video of his teaching experience.“I have seen their confidence and self?worth increase rapidly，” he said. All I could think was: How lucky these students are to have such an inspirational teacher.

Syona's teacher has an attitude that can best be summarized in one word：awesome. Her teacher doesn't focus on what can't be done—she focuses on what can be done. Over the past several months，my husband Dilip and I have seen Syona's confidence increase tenfold. She uses words she wouldn't have thought of using before. She recently told me about her classmate's trip to Ecuador and was very proud when I understood her on the first try.

I actually wonder what the influence would be if we did something similar to what Ulmer does with his students in our home. We've recently started our day by reminding each other of the good qualities we all possess. If we are reminded of our strengths on a regular basis，we will become increasingly confident about progress and success.

Ulmer's reach as a teacher goes far beyond the walls of his classroom. In fact，he teaches all of us to take a moment and truly appreciate the strengths of an important person in our lives.

【语篇解读】　本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者的女儿患有脑瘫，与人交流有障碍，在她的老师和家人的帮助下，她重拾自信，开始与人沟通。Chris Ulmer的教学能帮助他的学生快速提高自信和自我价值感。

9．What does the underlined “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to?

A．The cerebral palsy with Syona.

B．The saying on a classroom wall.

C．The standard for kids with special needs.

D．The accurate measure of Syona's abilities.

【解析】 代词指代题。根据第二段第二句中的“My five-year-old daughter Syona has cerebral palsy(脑瘫) and it means，combined with her communication challenges and sight problems”可知，it指代“Syona has cerebral palsy(脑瘫)”，故A项正确。

【答案】 A

10．What can we learn about Chris Ulmer?
