Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
(2023届陕西省高三联考)
Esther Mentzer was born in New York. Her upbringing was a modest one; her father owned a hardware store. Much of her time was spent in trying to make ends meet in the hardware store.
It was while working in this store that Esther got her first taste of business. Until World War Ⅰ， Esther had always wanted to be an actress, dreaming of her “name in lights, flowers, handsome men〞．
After the War, Esther's uncle, John Schotz came to live with the family. This would prove to be a turning point in the young Esther's life. Schotz was a chemist who had devoted most of his life to creating “secret〞 skin­care products. Esther joined him.
In 1930, she married Joseph Lauder and her name became Estee Lauder, when she was 22 years old. Lauder's dreams had never quite subsided (消退) and her husband supported her. In 1947, the two finally decided to go official, and Estee Lauder Cosmetics (化装品) was founded.
She believed that beauty is an attitude, and when you look after yourself properly, it would be a winning attitude. If you looked beautiful on the outside, Lauder believed you would feel beautiful on the inside, and from there, the possibilities are endless.
Estee Lauder died on April 26, 2023, but her contribution is remembered. Today Estee Lauder is a recognized brand name in over 110 countries. “Why are all brides beautiful？〞 she asked. “Because on their wedding day they care about how they look. There are no ugly women—only women who don't care or who don't believe they're attractive.〞 Beauty is a state of mind and Lauder believed that her products could help anyone achieve that state of mind.
【语篇解读】　本文主要是关于雅诗兰黛的创始人Esther Mentzer所取得的成就和她对美丽的看法。Esther Mentzer的成功让她认识到美是一种态度，是一种精神状态，而她的产品能帮助人们把这种精神状态变为现实。

(2023届河南省豫南九校高三联考)
It was the beginning of another school year. I had agreed to teach all struggling students in need of critical intervention (介入). I knew what lay ahead—tough work hours overlaid with guilt, consumed with essays that needed feedback and lesson plans with best practice strategies. No wonder people always acknowledge my teaching career with, “I'm glad it's you and not me．〞
Suddenly, my mind transported me to my first few years of teaching.
“Peter Potter，〞 I called from my name list, trying to control my laughter. “Laughlin McLaughlin？〞 Surely these were not real names.
“Emotionally disabled...keeps them separated from the other kids...，〞the vice headmaster commanded. This was my first teaching assignment.
Surely this year could never be as discouraging as those first few. In my new classroom, I looked into the face of Jason. At eleven, his mother was killed in an accident, leaving him with physical, academic, and certainly emotional scars. I looked at another student, Robert, standing at the door; my vice headmaster asked if I would take him, even though he was an eleventh grader in my tenth grade class.
But then there were—and are—stories of success—of Dustin, in Graduate School for Electrical and Computer Engineering; of Michael, now a teacher in a city school; of Willie...I thought of the thousands of students whose lives have touched mine far more than I could have ever touched theirs.
I broke from my daydream, a smile spreading across my face. Sadness, tears, challenges, fears—yes, teaching is filled with all of these—yet, it is also filled with laughter and smiles, hope, dreams, and rewards beyond measure.
“I'm glad it's you and not me.〞 Those words resounded in my mind once again.
【语篇解读】　本文讲述了作者从事特殊教育的职业经历。尽管教学中充满了挑战、悲伤、泪水，但是也给作者带来了欢乐、微笑、希望、梦想，以及无法估量的回报。

6．What does the underlined sentence imply?
A．These people would like to teach.
B．These people did not like the author.
C．These people would not want this job.
D．These people wanted to learn from the author.
解析：选C　词义猜想题。根据画线局部所在句“No wonder people always acknowledge my teaching career with, ‘I'm glad it's you and not me.’(难怪人们总是以‘很快乐是你而不是我从事这项工作’来评价我的教学生涯)〞以及前文所述的教学工作的艰巨性可知，此句话暗示说这些话的人们不愿意做这样的工作。应选C项。
7．Why did the author mention Jason and Robert?
A．To stress the importance of family education.

Ⅱ.七选五
(2023届河北省石家庄二中高三模拟)
Having a learning disability doesn't mean you can't learn. Learning disabilities happen because of the way a person's brain takes in and processes information. 1 The trick will be figuring out how you learn best.
Learning disabilities aren't contagious (传染的), but they can be genetic. That means they can be passed down in families through the genes, like many other traits we get from our parents and grandparents. Someone with a learning disability probably has other family members who have some learning troubles, too. Kids with learning problems are sometimes surprised to find out that one of their parents had similar troubles when he or she was in school. 2
Learning experts now know a lot more about the brain and how learning works.
It's very hard for a kid to know if he or she has a learning disability. But kids don't have to figure all this out on their own. 3 Start with your teacher and your mom or dad.
Finding out you have a learning disability can be upsetting. 4 But the truth is that learning disabilities are pretty common. And if your learning specialist or psychologist has figured out which one you're facing, you're on the right track. Now, you can start getting the help you need to do better in school.
To make this special help really work, you'll need to practise the new skills you're learning. It may take a lot of efforts every day. 5 Soon, you'll enjoy the results of all your hard work: More fun and success at school!
A．As a result, some people learn differently.
B．What a kid needs to do is to tell someone.
C．That can be a challenge, but you can do it.
D．You might feel different from everyone else.
E．There are people who know how to do just that.
F．But kids today have an advantage over their parents.
G．But you'll need some help and you'll need to work extra hard.
【语篇解读】　有的人会存在学习障碍，但这并不意味着这个人就无法学习，本文介绍了一些方法应对学习障碍。
1．解析：选A　根据上文“Learning disabilities happen because of the way a person's brain takes in and processes information.〞可知，学习障碍的发生是因为一个人的大脑接收和处理信息的方式(有问题)。故A项“As a result，some people learn differently. (因此，一些人学得不一样)〞符合语境。
2．解析：选F　根据上文“Kids with learning problems are sometimes surprised to find out that one of their parents had similar troubles when he or she was in school.〞可知，存在学习障碍的孩子有时会惊讶地发现他们父母中的一方在上学时也有类似的问题。由关键词kids和parents可知，F项“但是今天的孩子比他们的父母有优势。〞符合语境。
3．解析：选B　理解语境可知，上文说孩子们不必单独弄清所有的事物，且根据下文“Start with your teacher and your mom or dad. (从老师和妈妈或爸爸开始)〞可知，B项符合语境。
4．解析：选D　根据上文“Finding out you have a learning disability can be upsetting.〞可知，发现自己有学习障碍会让人心烦意乱。下文继续谈论这个话题。故D项“You might feel different from everyone else. (你可能感觉和其他所有人不一样)〞符合语境。
5．解析：选C　根据上文“It may take a lot of efforts every day.〞可知，这可能需要每天努力，并结合下文“很快你就会享受你所有努力工作的结果：更快乐并且在学业上更成功〞可知，要先开始行动才会有结果。故C项符合语境。
