　　In 2000, Andréa Speranza achieved her dream of becoming a firefighter joining the Halifax Regional Fire & Emergency Management. Her job was exactly as satisfying as she imagined it would be, except for one thing: she still hadn't seen another woman in her role—not in a magazine, not on television, not in real life. Even today, less than five percent of firefighters in Canada are women. Speranza decided that she wanted to help young women see that they, too, could have a career like hers.
The result is Camp Courage, a program for girls aged 15 to 18 who want to learn more about firefighting. In 2006, Speranza and about 20 volunteers welcomed their first 17 participants, recruiting (招募) attendees through advertising in schools and recreation centers. Over the course of eight days, the girls discovered the ins and outs of being first responders: learning how to put out fires, deliver first aid and even use the jaws of life (救生顎) on a car.
Camp Courage now runs one session every year in Halifax and is free to attend. To offset costs, Speranza and her fellow camp members fundraise by holding everything from car washes to comedy nights. Hopeful camp members must also submit an essay describing how they plan to help their community, or a specific individual in need. And they have to deliver on the plan—from building a bench (長椅) for seniors at a bus stop to launching a local chapter of Kids Help Phone.
Hundreds of girls have passed through Camp Courage, and 36 percent are doing exactly what 52-year-old Speranza hoped they would: working as first responders across the country. This past summer, the camp held its first session for young women in Halifax, as well as its first national camp in Calgary with plans to roll out more in 2023.

　　(2024浙江聯(lián)考)Some people measure success by the wealth they've accumulated, or the status they've achieved. Yet, even though they've reached success beyond their wildest dreams, they still feel something is missing from their life. Their soul may be searching for something more. 1.　　　 Although everyone is different, there are common threads that bind a life with purpose.
Live by your beliefs and values.
People who live a life of purpose have core beliefs and values that influence their decisions, shape their daily actions, and determine their priorities. They place significant value on being a person of virtue. 2.　　　 And they spend more time listening to their inner voice than being influenced by others.
Follow your passion.
People who live a life of purpose wake up each morning eager to face the new day. They pursue their dreams with enthusiasm, put their heart into everything they do, and feel that they're personally making a difference. As James Dean once said, “3.　　　”
Feel content.
People who live a life of purpose have inner peace. They're satisfied with what they have and who they are. 4.　　　 As the saying goes, “The real measure of your wealth is how much you'd be worth if you lost all your money.”
5.　　
People who live a life of purpose have a positive impact on someone else's life. They are willing to help people in need and make their life better and happier. They gain as much satisfaction witnessing the success of others as witnessing their own.
Without purpose, it's easy to wander aimlessly through life instead of following your North Star. Without purpose, it's easy to achieve remarkable success and still feel that life is passing you by.
A.Make a difference.
B.It's the purpose of life.
C.Put others before yourself.
D.So they live with certain moral principles.
E.The secret of success is constancy to purpose.
F.Dream as if you'll live forever and live as if you'll die today.
G.To them, the grass is greener on their own side of the fence.
Ⅲ　讀后續(xù)寫
　　閱讀下面材料,根據(jù)其內(nèi)容和所給段落開頭語續(xù)寫兩段,使之構成一篇完整的短文。
　　In a small town, Sarah and her husband, David, ran a modest noodle shop. Over the years, it had become a familiar gathering place for hardworking folks in the neighborhood, especially those who often worked into the late hours.
Early in 2022, an elderly wandering man named Robert entered their shop. “Ma'am, I'd like a bowl of noodles. Here's the money,” the elderly man said, handing over a well-worn and old one-dollar banknote. Sarah exchanged a quick glance with David, for a bowl of noodles cost five dollars. However, David accepted it without hesitation, telling Sarah to serve Robert.
Sarah couldn't help whispering to her husband, “David, why did you accept this old money and sell the noodles for one dollar ” David gazed at her and responded, “My dear, everyone faces challenges. What's a bowl of noodles worth anyway What if he goes hungry ” David's friendly smile made Robert feel at home. He wasted no time in wolfing down the hot noodles, as if he hadn't eaten in days. The couple watched compassionately as Robert enjoyed every single bite. After finishing his meal, Robert left with satisfaction.
Robert returned the next day, and for several days thereafter. They soon learned that Robert had a slight intellectual disability from a very young age. After the passing of his parents, he lived alone, with his elder brother visiting him occasionally. But Robert didn't want to burden his brother's family.
David and Sarah silently formed an unspoken agreement with Robert. The couple genuinely helped him but never mentioned the price. Sarah even added extra vegetables to his bowl sometimes. Robert only visited the shop when it was less crowded. As months passed by, they developed a bond of kindness. Yet, Robert's payments went from regular dollars to small change, until he had no money left.

Ⅰ.閱讀理解
A
語篇解讀　本文是一篇記敘文。Andréa Speranza是一名女消防員,多年來她一直致力于鼓勵其他年輕女性像她一樣成為消防員。
1.A　推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段內(nèi)容可知,2000年,Andréa Speranza實現(xiàn)了成為一名消防員的夢想,加入了哈利法克斯地區(qū)消防與應急部門。但她一直沒有見到其他女消防員,結合該段尾句推斷,在2001年Speranza可能希望看到更多的女孩能夠像她一樣成為消防員。故選A。
2.C　詞義猜測題。根據(jù)第二段末句可知,在八天的課程中,女孩們學習了作為急救人員的　　　　　:學習如何滅火,提供急救,甚至在汽車上使用救生顎。滅火、提供急救,使用救生顎是作為急救人員需要掌握的詳細內(nèi)容。所以,畫線詞詞義為“詳細內(nèi)容”。故選C。
3.B　推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段中最后兩句可知,有希望的營員必須提交一篇文章,描述她們計劃如何幫助她們的社區(qū),或有需要的特定個人。她們必須實施這個計劃——從在公交車站為老人建一張長椅,到在當?shù)爻闪⒁粋€Kids Help Phone分會。據(jù)此可知,Camp Courage向人們傳遞樂于助人的價值觀。故選B。
4.D　推理判斷題。通讀全文,尤其是首段首句可知,Speranza是一名女消防員,由此可見她非常勇敢;根據(jù)第二段首句可知,她還通過Camp Courage來鼓勵其他年輕女性成為消防員,所以她還是一位鼓舞人心的消防員。故選D。
技巧點撥
　　推理判斷題中的正確選項是依據(jù)文章的事實或證據(jù)推斷出的符合邏輯的結論或觀點,正確選項一般具有以下特征:(1)“立足原文,只推一步”,即根據(jù)原文內(nèi)容,一步即可推得。(2)選項中一般不可以出現(xiàn)絕對概念。如only、never、all、absolutely等,正確答案的表述一般有一點模糊,會用一些相對能夠留有余地
的詞匯,如often、usually、sometimes、some、may、might、can、could、possibly、probably等。
難句分析
原句　Her job was exactly as satisfying as she imagined it would be, except for one thing: she still hadn't seen another woman in her role—not in a magazine, not on television, not in real life.
分析　該句中as...as...引導比較狀語從句。
譯文　她的工作正好和她想象的一樣令人滿意,除了一件事情:她還沒有見過另一位女性當消防員——在雜志上沒見過,在電視上沒見過,在實際生活中也沒見過。
B
語篇解讀　本文是一篇說明文,主要介紹的是著名律師Benedict Morelli經(jīng)營的一家律師事務所Morelli Law Firm的經(jīng)營范圍、成功秘訣等相關情況。
5.C　細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段中的“One critical reason...pursue all difficult cases.”可知,他們成功的一個關鍵原因是,與許多公司不同,Morelli Law Firm有經(jīng)驗、耐心和資源來處理所有困難的案件。故選C項。
6.A　詞義猜測題。根據(jù)第三段中Benedict Morelli的話“At my core, I'm a trial lawyer”和“Because of our experience and accomplishments in the courtroom, our opponents know that we're prepared to pursue the best result possible.”可知,Morelli說他是一名出庭律師,由于在法庭上的經(jīng)驗和成就,對手知道他們已經(jīng)準備好追求最好的結果。由此可知,上法庭不會讓他們害怕,所以,畫線單詞的意思是“使害怕”。故選A項。
7.C　細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段中的“The firm is devoted to realizing its clients' goals both inside and outside of the courtroom.”可知,該律師事務所致力于實現(xiàn)客戶法庭內(nèi)外的目標。故選C項。
8.A　主旨大意題。本文介紹了律師事務所Morelli Law Firm的經(jīng)營范圍、成功秘訣等相關情況,其結構為:
由此可知,本文以“Morelli Law Firm”為標題符合文章內(nèi)容,概括了本文的主題。故選A項。
技巧點撥
　　一個好的標題應具備三大特點:1.概括性——準確而又簡短;2.針對性——標題外延正好與文章內(nèi)容相符;3.醒目性——能引發(fā)讀者的閱讀欲望。
巧用三大方法確定文章標題:1.正面肯定法:在理解文章主旨的基礎上,揣摩哪個選項能準確概括主旨;2.反面否定法:撇開原文,拿各個選項去設想用它們寫出來的“文章”將是什么內(nèi)容,然后和原文章對照,一一排除不符選項;3.研讀選項本身:研讀選項里面的中心詞和修飾詞的變化、結構、概括性等。
熟詞生義
wrong 熟義:adj.錯誤的　生義:v.冤枉,不公正對待
難句分析
原句　Moreover, Mr. Morelli and his team are also committed to helping those who have been wronged achieve the justice they deserve, no matter how difficult the circumstances are.
分析　本句為主從復合句?！皐ho have been wronged”為who引導的定語從句,修飾先行詞those;“they deserve”為省略關系詞的定語從句,修飾justice;“no matter how difficult the circumstances are”表示讓步。
譯文　此外,Morelli先生和他的團隊也致力于幫助那些被冤枉的人獲得他們應得的正義,無論情況多么困難。
Ⅱ.七選五
語篇解讀　本文是一篇說明文,文章主要介紹如何成為一個生活有目標的人,使人生更有意義。
1.B　過渡句。根據(jù)上文可知,有些人以積累的財富或取得的地位來衡量成功。然而,即使他們已經(jīng)取得了超乎想象的成功,他們?nèi)匀挥X得生活中缺少了一些東西。他們的靈魂可能在尋找更多的東西。根據(jù)下文可知,作者認為應該將生活與目標聯(lián)系在一起。由此可知,B選項“It's the purpose of life.(它就是生活的目標。)”承上啟下,符合語境,選項中的“It”指代上文中的“something more”。故選B。
2.D　細節(jié)句。根據(jù)上文可知,生活有目標的人有核心信念和價值觀,這些信念和價值觀會影響他們的抉擇,塑造他們的日常行動,并決定他們的優(yōu)先事項。他們非常重視做一個有美德的人。D選項“So they live with certain moral principles.(所以他們在生活中有一定的道德準則。)”與上文構成因果關系,說明一個有美德的人有一定的道德準則,符合語境;選項中的“they”與上文“They”所指代的人一致。故選D。
3.F　細節(jié)句。由小標題“Follow your passion.(追隨你的愛好。)”以及上文可知,生活有目標的人每天早上醒來都渴望面對新的一天。他們熱情地追求自己的夢想,全身心地投入到做的每一件事中,并且覺得自己正在產(chǎn)生影響。最后,作者引用James Dean的話來印證自己的觀點。F選項“Dream as if you'll live forever and live as if you'll die today.(像你永遠活著那樣去追求夢想,也像今天即將死去那樣用力活著。)”符合語境,選項中的“Dream as if you'll live forever”與小標題“Follow your passion.”以及上文中的“pursue their dreams with enthusiasm”意義一致。故選F。
4.G　細節(jié)句。根據(jù)上文可知,生活有目標的人內(nèi)心平靜。他們對擁有的一切和自己的身份感到滿意。G選項“To them, the grass is greener on their own side of the fence.(對他們來說,自家那邊的草更綠。)”說明感到滿足的人覺得自己所擁有的就很好,符合語境;選項中的“them”指代上文“They”,即內(nèi)心平靜、對自己所擁有的和自己是誰感到滿意的人。故選G。
5.A　主旨句。由文章結構分析可知,設空處為小標題;由下文可知,有目標的人會對別人的生活產(chǎn)生積極的影響。他們愿意幫助有需要的人,使這些人生活得更好、更快樂。他們看到別人成功獲得的滿足感和看到自己成功獲得的是一樣多的。據(jù)此可知,本段主要闡述要做一個對別人生活產(chǎn)生積極影響的人;A選項“Make a difference.(帶來改變/產(chǎn)生影響)”符合本段主旨,適合作為小標題,選項與下文“have a positive impact on someone else's life”表達內(nèi)容一致。故選A。
技巧點撥
　　主旨概括題主要考查考生對文章或段落進行概括的能力,它要求考生在閱讀文章時,能夠提煉其中心思想,體會作者的寫作意圖,充分運用概括能力提取文章的主題、觀點以及作者的情感態(tài)度。這類題常以考查段落標題為主,設題位置一般在段首,有時總結性的語句也會出現(xiàn)在段中或段尾。這類題有時也會考查整篇文章的主旨大意,即文章的主題句,一般會在段首設空。概括起來講,命題人通常從兩個方面設題:①概括文章或段落的主題句或結論性語句;②段落標題。解答主旨概括題通常采用瀏覽的方式,即重點搜索本段的主題線索詞并快速理清主旨大意,然后瀏覽選項,準確判定出與主旨大意匹配的選項。
易錯分析
　　本題易受該段最后一句的影響誤選C選項。本段主要講對他人的生活產(chǎn)生影響,但沒有說要把他人放在自己之前。
難句分析
原句　People who live a life of purpose have core beliefs and values that influence their decisions, shape their daily actions, and determine their priorities.
分析　本句為主從復合句。“who live a life of purpose”為who引導的定語從句,修飾先行詞People;“that influence...their priorities”為that引導的定語從句,修飾先行詞core beliefs and values。
譯文　生活有目標的人有核心信念和價值觀,這些信念和價值觀會影響他們的抉擇,塑造他們的日常行動,并決定他們的優(yōu)先事項。

One possible version:
　　One day, Robert arrived with something unusual—a hand-drawn banknote. It was drawn in meticulous detail. Sarah and David were touched by Robert's artistic endeavor and the effort he had put into creating a personalized payment. They knew that it wasn't about the monetary value, but the genuine connection that they had established with Robert. The couple decided to display Robert's hand-drawn banknote in a special frame on the wall of their noodle shop. Customers were intrigued by the story behind the artwork, and some thought it would be very inspirational if David shared it with more people.
When David shared the story online, it quickly gained attention. People started coming to Sarah and David's noodle shop not just for the delicious food, but also to support their act of kindness. The couple received messages and phone calls from individuals who wanted to help Robert in any way they could. Some offered financial assistance, while others volunteered to provide companionship and support for Robert. With the ongoing support, Robert's life took a positive turn. Indeed, a small act of kindness can have a ripple effect, creating a more beautiful world.
