2024高考英語閱讀理解解析版匯編（29）

　　【2024高考復習】閱讀理解For many people，volunteering is a way of life.Holidays are the time of the year that more people are in a giving mood.Homeless shelters，children’s hospitals，and nursing homes are excellent places to give of one’s time.

　　Volunteering in Homeless Shelters

　　There is a homeless directory online that anyone can easily access to find the closest homeless shelter to their home.According to the homeless shelter directory，currently there are 3,233 shelters in the US，so it is not difficult to find a shelter.Helping to serve food，picking up donations of food，preparing meals，and cleaning up are things that one can do to help at a homeless shelter.

　　Volunteering in Children’s Hospitals

　　Every child needs comfort and joy，especially during the holiday seasons.By visiting sick children in hospitals，an individual provides helping hands by supplementing the services usually done by the hospital staff.Personalizing the hospital experience adds to the comfort and happiness of the children and their families.Volunteers provide help，and positive interactions (相互交流) which enhance the patient’s quality of care.Help is needed almost everywhere in a hospital；from the lobby，parking lot，cafeteria，to admitting，helping with the gift cart，and even reading to children in the waiting rooms or their hospital rooms.

　　Volunteering in Nursing Homes

　　According to the National Center for Health Statistics，“Over 50% of those living in nursing homes do not have close relatives and 46% have no living children.”

　　Life in a nursing home is lonely，confusing，and frightening for many residents.Volunteering at a nursing home is a great opportunity to make a difference in someone else’s life.Playing cards，sitting with and talking to a resident，taking a walk，or sharing a meal makes a huge difference，especially when they have no other sole on earth to visit them.

　　The three examples above are only a small fraction of institutions in which volunteers are needed.Giving of oneself，especially during the holidays blesses and cheers others.

　　(選自2024·太原市第二學段測評)

　　Tina Rees, 50

　　English teacher (Canadian)

　　I wanted to be a doctor and help people. I was always playing doctor with dolls, wrapping their arms and legs in tissues! My mom was a nurse, and my two sisters are now nurses, but I went into finance. The educational requirements to be a doctor are too much for me now, but I feel I'm helping people and contributing to society as a teacher.

　　John Podeszwa, 45

　　English school owner (American)

　　I've always loved animals, and as a little boy I first wanted to be a frog, then a chimp. When told I had to be something human, I chose zookeeper.

　　I worked at a zoo in high school, but I wouldn't want to do that job now, although I am fulfilling my dream of helping rescued animals, since I own a honey bear, an albino snake (患白化病的蛇), a dog and some cats!

　　Miwa Gilligan, 48

　　Part-time worker (Japanese)

　　As a little girl I wanted to be many things, and when my grandmother suggested that as an actress I could play various roles, that stuck with me. The Takarazuka Revue (寶冢歌劇團) was popular during my childhood, so that also inspired me. Of course I would still like to become an actress.

　　Hiromitsu Tokunaga, 55

　　Sewage worker (Japanese)

　　My dream job both as a child and now is to be an astronaut. I grew up during the “Space Race” era and remember well the first moon landing, the famous sci-fi movie 2001, and all the rest. I still have a strong dream of going into space, and in my lifetime hope to see regular affordable space tours for people like me!

　　1．解析：選A　細節理解題。根據Tina Rees部分中的“I feel I'm helping people and contributing to society as

　　a teacher”可知，她對于自己目前老師的工作很滿意。四個選項中C項最具有干擾性，但根據“My mom was a nurse, and my two sisters are now nurses”可知，Tina Rees的母親曾經是名護士，而她的兩個姐妹現在是護士，故排除C項。故A項正確。

　　．解析：選D　推理判斷題。根據Miwa Gilligan部分可知，孩提時夢想當演員，她現在依然樂意當演員；根據Hiromitsu Tokunaga部分可知，從兒時到現在，他依然樂意做宇航員。故D項正確。

　　．解析：選C　推理判斷題。通讀全文可知，在選擇夢想的職業時，Tina Rees受母親和兩個姐妹的影響，Miwa Gilligan受祖母的影響，Hiromitsu Tokunaga受生活的時代、人類首次登上月球等的影響。故C項正確。

　　．解析：選B　標題歸納題。通讀全文可知，整篇文章介紹了四個人回憶兒時的夢想職業分別是什么、目前的職業以及對未來的憧憬。閱讀理解Wisdom teeth are normally the last teeth to appear.This usually happens when people are in their late teen years or early twenties，in other words，when they are older and wiser.

　　Wisdom teeth can grow into place normally and never cause a problem.But often there is not enough room for them in the mouth；they might crowd other teeth.Sometimes they even push sideways through the gums (齒齦)．

　　An impacted wisdom tooth is one that fails to completely rise through the gums.Wisdom teeth that only partly break through can leave space for bacteria to enter around the teeth.Infection (感染) is a risk in these cases.

　　Wisdom teeth that are not well lined and become impacted are often removed.The American Dental Association says removal is generally advised when wisdom teeth only partly break through the gums.Removal is also advised if there is a chance that wisdom teeth ate poorly lined.The best time to remove is before the teeth cause any problems or pain.Young adults are the best candidates for wisdom teeth removal.

　　But why do we have wisdom teeth if we often need to get them removed？One theory has to do with our diets.Scientists say the diet of ancient humans probably required more chewing teeth.Life was probably a little rougher on the teeth back then，too.So it was good to have extras.

　　【語篇解讀　本文是一篇說明文。文章介紹了智慧之牙——智齒。

　　5．According to the passage，which of the following statements is NOT true?

　　A．Just older and wiser people can have wisdom teeth.

　　B．Wisdom teeth can cause problems if not in their right place.

　　C．Impacted wisdom teeth can’t grow out of the gum fully.

　　D．Wisdom teeth that only partly break can get bacterial infections.

　　解析　細節理解題。根據文章第一段可知，所謂的智齒是指在青少年晚期或二十歲出頭長出的牙齒，而不是只有老人或智者才有的牙齒。

　　答案　A

　　6．Wisdom teeth should be removed________.

　　A．when they break through the gums

　　B．when they are below the gums

　　C．if they are not well lined or get impacted

　　D．if they take up enough room in the mouth

　　解析　細節理解題。根據文章第四段第一句“Wisdom teeth that are not well lined and become impacted are often removed.”可知，C項正確。

　　答案　C 7．We can learn from the passage that________.

　　A．impacted wisdom teeth have the risk of getting infected

　　B．ancient humans need chewing teeth because of their happy life

　　C．older adults are the best candidates for wisdom teeth removal

　　D．more chewing teeth are needed for the diet of modern humans

　　解析　推理判斷題。根據文章第三段可知，阻生智齒(即impacted wisdom teeth)會在牙齒周圍給細菌留出進入的空間，這就有被感染的風除。故選A。根據第四段最后一句可排除C項；根據最后一段可排除B、D兩項。

　　答案　A

　　8．The main purpose of the passage is to________.

　　A．advise

　　B．persuade

　　C．comment

　　D．introduce

　　解析　寫作意圖題。本文是一篇說明文。文章主要介紹了長智齒的大約時間、智齒可能導致的問題、拔掉智齒的時間、為什么長智齒等內容。所以本文寫作的主要目的就是介紹。

　　答案　D

　　upsetting. But I've had great support from my family and friends who always encourage me to enjoy life.”
