内容简介

失聪教授的使命 来源：NPR 体裁：记叙文 词数：351 难度：★★★ 主题语境：人与自我 We’re about 4 miles from the campus1 of Gallaudet University, where Solomon is a professor2 of biology3. She and a student—Anna McCall—are heading in a small boat to take water samples on the Anacostia River. The river is no more than 8 miles long, but it goes through and around Washington, DC. For months now, Solomon and her students have been dropping probes (探测仪) testing for oxygen, salt levels and chlorophyll (叶绿素). It’s data that help make judgments about the river’s health, which is not very good right now, Solomon says. To McCall, who was born deaf, Solomon is more than a role model. She’s a great teacher, tough4 but fair. McCall says if it weren’t for Solomon, she couldn’t imagine doing this kind of work. Solomon, who grew up5 in Delaware, was the only deaf person in her family. In school, she was always good in math and science, but her interest in the environment didn’t develop until she was a teenager6. “When I was in high school, my dad was a visiting professor at the U.S. Naval Academy,” Solomon says. “We rented7 a house by a small river. We weren’t able to swim in the river because it was too polluted.” Solomon, who went on to win 13 gold medals8 in swimming in the Deaflympics (听障奥运会), says she never forgot that polluted river near her house. A career9 in science and environmental studies became her calling10. But she also found another calling: “How can I influence other deaf and hard-of-hearing students?” It was a question rooted in Solomon’s own experience as a college student, first as an undergraduate at Harvard, then as a graduate11 student at the University of Washington. These were schools where she was usually the only deaf person in the class. Training the next generation12 of biologists who happen to be deaf has become Solomon’s mission13, and for that she has earned14 high praise at Gallaudet. Not because she’s an especially gifted teacher, she says, but because she has learned how to get her students to focus15 on what they’re capable of16, not what they’re limited17 by. 1.

B. Because she has a natural ability to be a good teacher. C. Because she has helped her students develop their capabilities. D. Because she has helped her students know their limitations. 4. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text? A. Train the Next Generation of Biologists B. How to Become a Successful Biologist C. How to Take Water Samples of a River D. Teach Deaf Students They Can Do Anything Monday 阅读理解 全文翻译 [1]我们距离加拉德特大学校园约4英里。所罗门是那所学校的生物学教授，她和一名学生安娜·麦考尔正乘坐一艘小船前往阿纳科斯蒂亚河采集水样。这条河的长度不超过8英里，但它穿过并环绕华盛顿特区流动。 几个月来，所罗门和她的学生们一直在把探测仪投入河里，检测河水的氧气、含盐量和叶绿素情况。所罗门说，这些数据有助于判断河流的健康状况。目前，河流的健康状况不太理想。 [2]对于先天失聪的麦考尔来说，所罗门不仅仅是一个榜样。她是个很棒的老师，严厉但公平。麦考尔说，如果没有所罗门，她无法想象做这种工作。 所罗门在特拉华州长大，是家里唯一一个失聪的人。在学校里，她的数学和科学成绩一直很好，但直到十几岁时，她才对环境产生兴趣。 “我上高中时，我父亲是美国海军学院的客座教授”，所罗门说。“我们在一条小河边租了一所房子。我们无法在河里游泳，因为河里污染太严重了。” 所罗门在听障奥运会上赢得了13枚游泳金牌。她说她从未忘记家附近那条被污染的河流。她的职业是从事科学和环境研究，但她也发现了她的另一个使命问题：“我该如何影响其他失聪和听力不佳的学生？” 这个问题植根于所罗门自己的大学经历。她在哈佛大学读本科，然后在华盛顿大学读研。在这些学校里，她通常是班上唯一的失聪学生。 [4]培训下一代失聪生物学家已成为所罗门的使命，为此，她在加拉德特大学获得了高度赞扬。[3]她说，这不是因为她是一位特别有天赋的老师，而是因为她学会了如何让学生专注于自己的能力，而不是自己的局限。 1. [B] 本题问安娜·麦考尔的情况。根据人名可定位到第1段。本段前两句提到所罗门是加拉德特大学的老师，她和她的学生安娜·麦考尔正在河里采集水样，从而可推知安娜·麦考尔是加拉德特大学的学生，故B项正确。 2. [A] 本题问第3段中，短语role model的意思。第3段首句提到对于麦考尔来说，所罗门不仅仅是个role model，她还是个很棒的老师，严厉而公平。从上下文可推知，role model是对所罗门老师的称赞，可排除B项“受雇展示衣服的人”和C项“演员扮演的角色”。再者，role model是对于麦考尔而言的，所罗门是麦考尔的role model，而model本身也有“模范，榜样”的意思，故A项“你钦佩并试图去模仿的人”正确。role model的意思是“榜样，楷模”。 3. [C] 本题问所罗门老师认为自己在加拉德特大学获得高度赞扬的原因。根据题干中的earned high praise可定位到最后一段。最后一句说到她认为不是因为自己是个特别有天赋的老师（an especially gifted teacher），而是因为她让学生专注于他们能做什么（focus on what they’re capable of），而不是专注于自己的局限（not what they’re limited by），故选C项“因为她帮助她的学生发展他们的能力”。 4. [D] 本题问的是哪个选项适合做文章的标题。本文1~3段介绍了所罗门的现状——带领失聪学生从事环境研究的生物学教授，4~7段回顾让所罗门从事如今职业的因素（失聪、环境污染），至此铺垫结束，最后一段点明以上的各种因素形成了所罗门的职业使命感——培养下一代失聪生物学家，鼓励学生把注意力放在自己能做的事情上，故D项“教育失聪学生他们可以做任何事情”是最为合适。A项通过重现尾段首句原词进行干扰，但原文已限定了biologists who happen to be deaf“失聪生物学家”这一范围，而A项“培养下一代生物学家”扩大了范围，故排除A项。 适用对象： 1. 新高考地区，需要课外阅读训练的学生； 2. 基础较好，高考需要取得高分的学生； 3. 需要扩充词汇量的学生； 4. 需要积累话题词汇、储备写作素材的学生； 5. 需要了解中外文化、提升跨文化交际能力的学生； 6. 需要培养批判性思维、增强文化自信的学生 推荐理由： 1. 高考真题同源选材：文章选自近年高考真题同源的外刊及网站，如《读者文摘》（Reader’s Digest）、《卫报》（The Guardian）、《国家地理杂志》（National Geographic）、《中国日报》（China Daily）等，语言地道，文章话题、长度、难度与新高考真题一致，适合课外培优强化 2. 原创命题：题型与新高考真题一致，包括阅读理解、完形填空、七选五和语法填空，题目设置符合新高考趋势 3． 分周编排，计划性强：全书共分为15周，每周分设七天，包括周一至周四的阅读训练，周五的词汇拓展，以及周六、周日的文化栏目 4. 所有文章附全文翻译，题目解析详细，解题句画线点评。答案解析分册装订，方便对照研习 5. 阅读词汇双重进阶：从阅读文章提取核心词汇，附有针对性的释义练习和真题句子语境练习，提升阅读同时能扩充词汇量 6. 积累写作功能词：每周五的词汇拓展包括表示“条件”“变化"“观点”“区分和对比”“位置”“因果"等的单词和词组，附有外刊例句和针对性练习 7. 特设文化栏目，用地道英语学习中外文化，囊括“传统节日”“优秀文化”“历史古迹”“特色饮食”和“自然景观”五大主题 8. 配套音频，附词汇索引：所有文章均提供外教朗读音频，可扫描内页对应的二维码获取，也可在封底扫码下载；词汇部分均附有索引，按英文首字母排序，方便快速搜索和诵记
