1.（广西柳州高中柳南校区英语2022届高考模拟试题）
At first glance, it looks like a small revolution is happening in retail (零售) in America. Nearly 650, 000 workers in the sector quit their jobs in April, the biggest number in over 20 years. Driven by a combination of low wages, COVID-19 risks, and harassment (烦扰) from customers, many are leaving their retail jobs behind in search of something different.
Even before the pandemic, a lot of retail jobs weren’t good jobs. In 2017, the typical pay for full-time workers in the sector was less than $33, 000 a year, not enough to live on in many places. And unpredictable schedules left many workers scrambling to arrange child care or transportation at a moment’s notice, never sure if they’d get enough hours each week to pay their bills. Jobs in the industry were largely considered temporary jobs with low status and low pay.
Then, when the pandemic hit, those jobs also became dangerous, as employees at grocery stores and big-box retailers like Target and Walmart had to work in person while others sheltered at home. At least 158 grocery store workers have died of COVID-19 and at least 35, 100 have been infected or exposed and numbers for the industry as a whole are likely much higher. Then there are the customers. Harassment and rudeness are a fact of life in many retail jobs, even under normal conditions. Customers would often yell at groomers over things like not being able to provide a certain cut or service for a dog.
Retail workers who have concerns about their current jobs may also have more choices than before. With the economy reopening and many businesses looking to hire, there’s a demand for labor across sectors. But that doesn’t necessarily mean they were moving on to better jobs — wages across industries haven’t meaningfully risen, meaning workers who quit aren’t, as a whole, making more money. The fact that workers may have more choices, for now, isn’t yet translating into better choices. Overall, it’s not clear that the large number of workers quitting really means they have more power in the economy-power to demand not just a new job but one with higher pay, better conditions, and fairer treatment from customers and managers alike.
32. What can we learn from Paragraph 1?
A. A lot of retail workers resign their jobs.
B. The retail industry in America is promising.
C. Many workers quit just because of low pay.
D. The customers in America are really annoying.
33. What mainly made the retail jobs more difficult during the pandemic?
A. Workers had fewer job opportunities.
B. Workers’ life safety was in danger.
C. Most of the retail jobs were temporary.
D. Workers received more harassment from customers.
34. What is author’s opinion about the phenomenon in retail?
A. He thinks it requires public attention.
B. He argues it has improved.
C. He believes it a positive development.
D. He supposes it may not bring good results.
35. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A. Do you want to find a better job?
B. Does the pandemic hit the retail jobs?
C. Does a new job mean a better job?
D. Were the retail jobs good or not?
【答案】32. A 33. B 34. D 35. C
【导语】本文是说明文加议论文，文章描述了美国零售行业发生的一些变化，许多员工辞职去寻求新工作，但作者认为新的工作并不意味着是一份更好的工作。
。根据文章第一段的“Nearly 650, 000 workers in the sector quit their jobs in April, the biggest number in over 20 years. ”（今年4月，该行业有近65万名员工辞职，这是20多年来的最大数字。）可知，零售行业的许多员工在4月辞职了。故选A。
。根据文章第三段的“Then, when the pandemic hit, those jobs also became dangerous, as employees at grocery stores and big-box retailers like Target and Walmart had to work in person while others sheltered at home. At least 158 grocery store workers have died of COVID-19 and at least 35, 100 have been infected or exposed and numbers for the industry as a whole are likely much higher. ”（然后，当疫情袭来时，这些工作也变得危险，因为杂货店和塔吉特(Target)和沃尔玛(Walmart)等大型零售商的员工不得不亲自工作，而其他人则待在家里。少有158名杂货店工作人员死于COVID-19，至少有35,100人被感染或接触过，整个行业的数字可能要高得多。）可知，员工要在新冠疫情期间外出工作，生命安全没有保障。故选B。
。根据文章最后一段“ But that doesn’t necessarily mean they were moving on to better jobs — wages across industries haven’t meaningfully risen, meaning workers who quit aren’t, as a whole, making more money. The fact that workers may have more choices, for now, isn’t yet translating into better choices. ”（随着经济重新开放，许多企业寻求招聘，各行各业都对劳动力有需求。但这并不一定意味着他们找到了更好的工作——各行各业的工资并没有明显提高，这意味着辞职的工人总体上并没有赚到更多的钱。就目前而言，员工可能有更多的选择，但这并没有转化为更好的选择。）可知，作者认为换一份新工作不一定会有好结果。故选D。
。根据文章大意，美国的零售行业发生了一些改变，很多员工辞职去找寻新的工作，但作者认为辞职的工人总体上并没有赚到更多的钱。就目前而言，员工可能有更多的选择，但这并没有转化为更好的选择，所以这并不意味着是一份更好的工作。因此，选项C“一份新工作是否意味着一份更好的工作?”为最佳标题。故选C。
2.（ 2022届广西柳州高级中学高考模拟英语试题）
Mom was a good cook. Her homemade chili sauce was second to none, and the things she could do with a chicken … well, it makes my mouth water to think about it. I once offered to make my sister Kathy’s bed for a week if she would give me the last slice of toast made by Mom.
No doubt about it, Mom was a great cook — most of the time. If a beef steak was placed in her frying pan, she turned into the anti-cook. She could turn that finest meat into a piece of hard protein with the smell of shoe leather. Of course, she really tried.
One day, my brother Bud took me out for lunch in a popular restaurant and he ordered beef steaks. Since he was paying, I thought I should have at least one or two bites. But when the waitress served our steaks, I was surprised at how good they smelled. Suddenly I understood why others spoke of beef steaks lovingly. I wolfed down my steak. I was a born-again beef-eater.
“You know,” I said to Bud, “I used to think Mom was a great cook. But it’s hard to believe that her steaks came from the same animal as these steaks.”
“Mom is really a great cook,” Bud said. “Think about it. She grew up during the Great Depression (大萧条). That’s when she learned to cook. How often do you think they had steaks? It is only recently that they could afford to buy steaks. So it isn’t that she isn’t a good cook.”
It’s that way with all of us, isn’t it? Even our strengths have elements (成分) of weakness. That’s why great athletes still train and great actors still practice. Greatness isn’t something we are; it is something we become. And that process (过程) of becoming includes learning and growing through both success and failure.
4. What does the underlined sentence mean?
A. The author’s mom was a really good cook.
B. The author loved his family members very much.
C. Mom loved Kathy more than the author.
D. The toast made by Mom was the author’s favorite food.
5. How did that eating in the restaurant affect the author?
A. He realized that beef was the best meat.
B. He started to like home-made beef steaks.
C. He would eat beef steaks only in that restaurant.
D. He didn’t think beef steaks were terrible food anymore.
6. Why couldn’t the author’s mom cook beef steaks well?
A. She seldom ate meat when she was young. B. She had little experience in cooking them.
C. She couldn’t afford good beef at that time. D. She actually wasn’t a good cook.
7. What message does the text want to give?
A. One is never too old to learn. B. Failure is the mother of success.
C. Greatness still needs learning and growing. D. Everyone has both strengths and weaknesses.
【答案】4. A 5. D 6. B 7. C
【导语】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章主要讲述了作者觉得母亲是一位好厨师，可是唯独不会煎牛排，分析原因发现是因为母亲成长在“大萧条”时期，直到最后才能买得起牛排，从这件引起了作者的某些感慨。
。根据第一段第一、二句话“Mom was a good cook. Her homemade chili sauce was second to none, and the things she could do with a chicken … well, it makes my mouth water to think about it. (妈妈是个好厨师。她自制的辣椒酱是首屈一指的，而且她用鸡肉做的东西……嗯，一想到它我就流口水了)”可知，本段主要介绍妈妈做的饭非常好吃，所以划线的句子“I once offered to make my sister Kathy’s bed for a week if she would give me the last slice of toast made by Mom(我曾经提议，如果我妹妹凯西愿意给我妈妈做的最后一片吐司，我可以为她铺床一周)”也是在强调妈妈是个好厨师。故选A。
。根据第二段第二、三句话“If a beef steak was placed in her frying pan, she turned into the anti-cook. She could turn that finest meat into a piece of hard protein with the smell of shoe leather.( 如果在她的煎锅里放一块牛排，她就会变成一个反烹饪者。她可以把最好的肉变成一块带有鞋革气味的坚硬的蛋白质)”以及第三段最后三句话“Suddenly I understood why others spoke of beef steaks lovingly. I wolfed down my steak. I was a born-again beef-eater.(突然，我明白了为什么其他人喜欢谈论牛排。我狼吞虎咽地吃下了牛排。我是一个天生的肉食者)”可知，作者的妈妈是不会做牛排的，所以作者认为牛排很难吃。但是，去餐馆吃了一次牛排后，让作者惊讶的是牛排非常的好吃。由此可推知，作者认为牛排不再是糟糕的食物了。故选D。
。根据倒数第二段“'Mom is really a great cook,' Bud said. 'Think about it. She grew up during the Great Depression (大萧条). That’s when she learned to cook. How often do you think they had steaks? It is only recently that they could afford to buy steaks. So it isn’t that she isn’t a good cook.'(巴德说：“妈妈真的是个很棒的厨师。”。“想想看。她是在大萧条时期长大的。那时她学会了做饭。你认为他们多久吃一次牛排？直到最近他们才买得起牛排。所以她并不是一个好厨师。”)”可知，作者的妈妈并没有多少做牛排的经验导致她做的牛排非常难吃。故选B。
。根据最后一段“It’s that way with all of us, isn’t it? Even our strengths have elements (成分) of weakness. That’s why great athletes still train and great actors still practice. Greatness isn’t something we are; it is something we become. And that process (过程) of becoming includes learning and growing through both success and failure.( 我们大家都是这样的，不是吗？即使是我们的优势也有弱点。这就是为什么伟大的运动员仍在训练，伟大的演员仍在练习。伟大不是我们自己；它是我们成为的东西。而成为的过程包括在成功和失败中学习和成长。)”可知，作者通过妈妈不会作牛排的经历告诉我们，变得伟大是需要不断在失败中学习和成长的。故选C。

What Kids Can Learn From Losing
Everyone wants what’s best for their kid, but no one knows what that is. It might be succeeding, but it might be failing. It might be winning, but it might be losing. I’ve relearned this truth as a member of that most pitied and envied of species, the hockey (冰球) parent, while watching my son ascend from Mite to Bantam, House League to Travel.
In his third season in 2013, my son’s team never lost more than three straight games. It was a typically good youth hockey season. He improved as a player but did not much change as a person. For that, you need to lose, which is what happened the next year, when his team added its story to the legends of “sporting incapability”. For a time, I worried that these failures would kill my child’s love of the game.
But that’s not what happened. As bad as it got, the losing was clarifying. It weeded out the kids who were in it less for the game than the glory, leaving just the die-hards behind. What started as a list of 17 players was culled down to 12. It was especially inspiring for my kid. It taught him a great truth of the world: For everyone good, there is someone better. For everything big, there is something bigger. In this way, he learned modesty. And, by giving up even the expectation of victory, he remembered what it was that he’d loved about the game in the first place.
When they began to win, they did it as a different kind of group. When they’d won before, it had been with individual performance. When ahead, they’d coast. When behind, they’d quit. This new team had character and could never be counted out, no matter the score. They had learned the most important lesson: You can lose without being beaten.
They made it all the way to the final, where the winner was decided in overtime (加时赛). When they lost that game and went into the handshake line, it was not as runners-up (亚军) but as a team that had been made into winners in the only way that will stick – by losing.
12. Which level may be the highest?
A. Mite. B. Bantam. C. House League. D. Travel.
13. What can you infer from Paragraph 2?
A. The team won three games in the third season 2013.
B. The team was the best youth hockey one.
C. The author’s son did not understand what losing really means.
D. The failures did not kill the child’s love of the game.
14. When the team began to win, what was different from the past?
A. They performed better in the games. B. Their hockey skills improved.
C. They knew when to quit. D. They became mentally stronger.
15. What mess
