　　AAmy Pankratz spent a few nights in the hospital with her daughter, Isabella, who caught a bad flu. “Lying in bed beside Isabella, I could hear the cries of children in pain, ”says Amy. “It completely broke my heart. ”

　　When Isabella was getting well and could leave her room, she wore her prized possession—a“superhero cape(短斗篷)”Amy had sewn to encourage her—and walked into the hallway. The pink cape was an instant hit with the other young patients, who were doing exercise around the nursing station. “Then, all the kids were taking turns wearing the cape, giggling, ”Amy says. “These were some of the same children I had heard crying the night before, and here they were playing and having fun—kids just being kids! ”

　　From that moment on, Amy began making Comfort Capes for little ones battling with serious illnesses. “I felt God presenting an opportunity, ”she says. “I hoped Comfort Capes can help these kids feel brave, to lift some of the fear away. ”

　　Since then, Amy has made and donated more than 5, 000 capes in the United States. Amy usually pays for materials herself, although she accepts donations.

　　The capes she makes for kids in treatment are different from those her own children have. Before Amy starts to sew she learns what image or character the little boy or girl connects with. “I choose the pattern, color and theme specifically for each child, ”explains Amy.

　　When she is not sewing, Amy is raising awareness of childhood cancers and looking into ways to get Comfort Capes to more kids who need them. “If a cape can help a child, even only for a moment, forget his illness, it’s worth the time spent sewing, ”she says.

　　【文章大意】本文講述Amy在女兒生病的時候?yàn)榕畠嚎p制了一件短斗篷, 就是這件斗篷為醫(yī)院里生病的孩子帶來了歡樂。由此, Amy產(chǎn)生了靈感決定通過為生病的孩子縫制斗篷, 讓孩子們暫時忘卻疾病帶來的痛苦。

　　A. Amy: a Considerate Woman

　　B. How to Treat the Sick Children

　　Now scientists believe that global warming affects hibernating animals, causing them to wake up earlier. While this may seem a little concern, it is in fact a significant environmental problem. The shortened hibernation period could actually lead to significant declines in the population of several species.

　　Some of the first concrete evidence of the phenomenon came from Colorado, where researchers at the Rocky Mountain Biological lab have been observing marmot(旱獺)hibernation behavior since the 1970s. In the early days of their studies, marmots generally hibernated several weeks into the month of May. Nowadays, however, temperatures in the area have risen by 2. 5 degrees Fahrenheit, and the marmots wake up about a month earlier.

　　At least the marmots are still hibernating. Several other animals have not been hibernating at all recently. Brown bears in the Spanish Cantabrian Mountains did not hibernate last year. In parts of the United States, chipmunks(花鼠)also skipped the hibernation period. The bears seem to have survived without losing many individuals. The chipmunks, however, were not so lucky. Many of the animals died of starvation during the winter.

　　The problem with animals waking up early, or skipping hibernation altogether, lies with the creatures’ metabolism(新陳代謝). When the animals hibernate, their metabolism drops significantly. The animals’ heart rate slows, and they require very little energy to live. When the animals awake from their winter slumber, their metabolism returns to normal.

　　But while their metabolism may be as active as it was before hibernation, food sources aren’t as available as they were before. A marmot may wake up when temperatures get warmer, thinking it’s spring, but plants will not have got the amount of sun they need to signal their spring period of growth. So until the plants grow, the marmots have no reliable food source.

　　Many scientists believe the problem will continue to get worse. In addition to changes in hibernation patterns, some believe that other animals will also begin to change their migration patterns or begin to give birth earlier. For many biologists, that’s a scary prospect. Terry Root, an animal expert at Stanford University, said, “I do think what we will be facing is the extinction of many species. ”

　　【文章大意】全球變暖帶來的連鎖反應(yīng)是多方面的, 其中之一就是導(dǎo)致一些冬眠動物的冬眠期縮短, 這會給這些動物帶來巨大的影響。

　　5. What is the viewpoint of the writer?

　　A. Global warming will continue to get worse as time goes on.

　　B. Global warming will lead to shortened hibernation of some animals.

　　C. Shortened hibernation will result in declines in the population of animals.

　　D. Some animals will skip hibernation altogether.

　　【解析】選C。細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由第一段最后一句話可知答案為C。

　　6. The writer sets the example of the marmot so as to　.

　　A. explain that global warming influences animals’ hibernation

　　B. indicate that the weather gets warmer and warmer now

　　C. show that the weather in the United States is quite different

　　D. say some animals do not hibernate now due to warm weather

　　【解析】選A。細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段最后一句話可知作者是想借這個例子來說明全球變暖使得動物的冬眠期縮短了。

　　7. The underlined word“slumber”in the fourth paragraph means“　”.

　　A. weather

　　B. activityC. nestD. sleep

　　【解析】選D。詞義猜測題。聯(lián)系本句中的awake from可知答案為D項(xiàng)。

　　8. Why can’t marmots find enough food when they wake up?

　　A. Because there are too many marmots in the wild now.

　　B. Because plants haven’t received enough sunlight for spring growth.

　　C. Because winter days end much earlier than before.

　　D. Because more and more animal species skip hibernation now.

　　【解析】選B。細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由倒數(shù)第二段中的but plants will not have got the amount of sun they need to signal their spring period of growth可知答案為B項(xiàng)。

　　9. Terry Root holds a(n)　attitude towards the future of animals.

　　A. optimistic

　　B. doubtful

　　C. pessimistic

　　D. sensitive

　　【解析】選C。觀點(diǎn)態(tài)度題。根據(jù)文章最后一句話I do think what we will be facing is the extinction of many species. 可以看出他是持悲觀態(tài)度。

　　. 閱讀第二節(jié)

　　(2024·南陽模擬)

　　Do you know what a big dream is? 　1　Or, is a big dream something that provides only entertainment? Children dream big dreams, but there are three barriers to realizing dreams. They often kill them before they ever have a chance to grow.

　　The Self

　　Immediately following the birth of a big dream, a negative self-talk takes over and gives all the reasons why it cannot happen. This inside voice is the ego(自我). It’s there for protecting and should be listened to. 　2　Most people are influenced by the inside voice. That’s why only a handful of people make their dreams come true.

　　　3　

　　Family and friends are a lot like the ego. They want to protect those they love, so they will often list all the reasons why the big dreams won’t come true. Sometimes, family and friends destroy dreams of those they love most, out of their own fear of being left behind.

　　The World

　　If one gets past the first two barriers, one has to face the world. 　4　In the past, big dreamers were locked up and sometimes even killed when they were shown to the world. Fortunately, in most of the world today, big dreamers just get laughed at.

　　The way to realize a big dream is with confidence and action. When children have confidence and then take action, they will be ready to accept any failure. The truth is that every great dreamer whose dreams have never seen the light of success knows failure well. 　5?

　　A. Family and Friends

　　B. How Big Dreams Die

　　C. Does a big dream show one’s future?

　　D. They simply fail until they succeed.

　　E. Sometimes it is right, but more often it is wrong.

　　F. It is the last and the most terrible barrier.

　　G. And their big dream is to be a rock star or a famous artist.

　　【文章大意】每一個人都懷有偉大的夢想, 但是只有少數(shù)人才會實(shí)現(xiàn)自己的遠(yuǎn)大抱負(fù)。本文主要介紹了造成大多人夢想無法實(shí)現(xiàn)的一些內(nèi)在的和外在的因素。

　　1. 【解析】選C。上下文邏輯聯(lián)系題。根據(jù)空格前面的問題和后面的問題, 從形式上看都是問句, 另外主題都是圍繞a big dream發(fā)問的, 同時結(jié)合同一詞的規(guī)律, 可知選C。

　　2. 【解析】選E。上下文邏輯聯(lián)系題。根據(jù)前面的It’s there for protecting and should be listened to. 指自我的保護(hù), 而結(jié)合上下文, 可知這種自我的保護(hù)有的時候是正確的, 有的時候是錯誤的, 因此選E。

　　3. 【解析】選A。段落標(biāo)題題。這種形式主要是對于下一個段落的主旨概括。主要從下一段中尋找關(guān)鍵核心詞等。根據(jù)段落中出現(xiàn)的Family and friends are a lot like the ego. 可知這一段要討論家人和朋友對于一個人夢想的影響, 因此選A。

　　4. 【解析】選F。上下文邏輯聯(lián)系題。根據(jù)第一段中提到有三個影響因素, 而這個空格前面的段落已經(jīng)涉及了兩個因素。再根據(jù)空格前面的If one gets past the first two barriers, one has to face the world. 可知這里要討論的是最后一個因素, 因此選F。

　　5. 【解析】選D。上下文邏輯聯(lián)系題。根據(jù)同義詞的方法, D中的fail與前面一句話中的failure一致, 根據(jù)代詞指代的方法, D中的they指空格前面提到的every great dreamer, 因此選D。
