【文章內(nèi)容簡(jiǎn)介】 around my second year in law school, I wanted to make a great change, which was almost unheard of for Texans: I wanted to leave! I realized this after pleting my first year173。year internship(實(shí)習(xí)期) I knew I wanted something different and my chance came during the 2011 Super Bowl in Dallas. A snowstorm blanketed the entire city in snow and thousands of people were gathered. I overheard that StubHub, a big pany from a great city, San Francisco, was throwing a party next door to my hotel. I thought if l could get an internship, I could leave for the summer and at least see what it was like. Yes, it was a huge leap. I told myself I was ready. There was just one problem: I wasn39。t invited to the StubHub party. But you know I39。m the type of person who goes for something she wants. Needless to say, I crashed the party and found my way to the president. I kindly introduced myself and then asked if they had a legal internship program. Guess what? They accepted my request to be a legal intern, even though no such program existed. Although the legal department didn39。t have a permanent position for me, the experience has shaped my life. Working for a great pany in San Francisco, I39。m incredibly happy for making my decision to leave Texas. By leaving Texas, I learned that it is so much more rewarding to try the unfamiliar than to stay in the fortable. Exploring the unfamiliar is how you39。ll understand what fits your life. I say, dive in head first.（1）The author went to Dallas to in 2011.

I thought if l could get an internship,可知，作者無(wú)意中聽(tīng)到來(lái)自舊金山的一家大公司在自己所住酒店的隔壁開(kāi)派對(duì)，她在想自己能否在那家公司得到一個(gè)實(shí)習(xí)的機(jī)會(huì)，因此，2011年作者去達(dá)拉斯是為了尋找一個(gè)實(shí)習(xí)機(jī)會(huì)，故選D。（2）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)最后一段中的By leaving Texas, I learned that it is so much more rewarding to try the unfamiliar than to stay in the fortable.可知，作者認(rèn)識(shí)到嘗試不熟悉的東西比呆在舒適區(qū)更有意義，也就是說(shuō)作者從這個(gè)經(jīng)歷中學(xué)到的最大的教訓(xùn)是跳出舒適區(qū)是有意義的，故選B。 （3）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第三段中的I wasn39。t invited to the StubHub party. But you know I39。m the type of person who goes for something she wants.可知，作者沒(méi)有被邀請(qǐng)參加派對(duì)，但她是那種追求她想要的東西的人，由此可見(jiàn)作者很堅(jiān)定，再根據(jù)I crashed the party and found my way to the president. I kindly introduced myself and then asked if they had a legal internship program.可知，作者闖進(jìn)派對(duì)，直接找到董事長(zhǎng)進(jìn)行自我介紹并問(wèn)是否有實(shí)習(xí)項(xiàng)目，由此可見(jiàn)作者很大膽，綜合以上兩方面可知作者是堅(jiān)定和大膽的，故選D。 【點(diǎn)評(píng)】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解和推理判斷兩個(gè)題型的考查，是一篇故事類(lèi)閱讀，考生需要準(zhǔn)確捕捉細(xì)節(jié)信息，并根據(jù)上下文進(jìn)行邏輯推理，從而選出正確答案。4．閱讀理解 Make way, good people, make way, in the King39。s name! cried he. Open a text。 and, I promise you, Mistress Prynne shall be set where man, woman, and child, may have a fair sight of her brave clothing, from this time till an hour past noon. A blessing on the moral Colony of the Massachusetts, where immorality is dragged out into the sunshine! Come along, Madam Hester, and show your scarlet （鮮紅色的；罪孽深重的）letter in the marketplace! A lane was at once opened through the crowd. Led by the beadle （獄吏），and attended by an irregular procession of seriouslooking men and unkindlooking women, Hester Prynne set forth towards the place appointed for her punishment. A crowd of eager and curious schoolboys, understanding little of the matter in hand, except that it gave them a halfholiday, ran before her progress, turning their heads continually to stare into her face, and at the winking baby in her arms, and at the shameful letter on her breast. It was no great distance, in those days, from the prisondoor to the marketplace. Measured by the prisoner39。s experience, however, it might be considered to be a rather long journey。 for, though her manner was proud, she perhaps underwent an extreme pain from every footstep of those who thronged to see her, as if her heart had been thrown into the street for them all to step upon. In our nature, however, there is a condition that the sufferer should never know the intensity of what he endures by its present suffering, but chiefly by the pain that rankles （使痛心）after it. With almost a calm manner, therefore, Hester Prynne passed through this portion of her suffering, and came to a sort of scaffold （刑臺(tái)），at the western end of the marketplace. It stood nearly beneath the eaves of Boston39。s earliest church, and appeared to be a fixture there.（1）What can we know about the schoolboys? A.They knew a little of the matter.B.They were full of curiosity and eagerness.C.They were happy for having a oneday holiday.D.They like Hester Prynne and her baby very much.（2）What does the underlined word thronged in paragraph 3 mean? A.Gathered.B.Happened.C.Pretended.D.Regretted.（3）What can we know from paragraph 3? A.The prison was really far from the marketplace.B.The scaffold is at the eastern end of the marketplace.C.Hester Prynne was thrown into the street for people to step on.D.The sufferer mainly knows the intensity of the pain after the suffering.（4）What would probably happen to Hester Prynne according to the text? A.She would be set free.B.She would give a public speech.C.She would put on a performance.D.She would receive serious punishment.【答案】 （1）B（2）A（3）D（4）D 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇記敘文，摘自名著《紅字》，描述了Hester Prynne被當(dāng)做異教徒押赴刑場(chǎng)時(shí)的情節(jié)片段。 （1）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第二段中的“A crowd of eager and curious schoolboys, …ran before her progress, turning their heads continually to ….”可知，人們充滿了好奇并且急不可待。故選B。 （2）考查詞義猜測(cè)。根據(jù)最后一段中的“though her manner was proud, she perhap
