阅读下列短文，从每题所给的 A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该

When you hear the word “birthmark”, you probably think of one of those black or brown spots

that you have on your body. For me, it’s different—I have them on my lips and inside my mouth. I’m

used to being asked, “What are those black marks on your lips?” When I tell people they’re

birthmarks, they usually say, “That’s strange.” I used to consider them ugly. However, my mom calls

them beauty marks.

In pictures, I used to hide my birthmarks by pursing my lips so I wouldn’t have to deal with

people’s questions. As I was growing up, people wore me out with them. Some people would ask me

the same questions even before knowing my name. In society I feel like we judge people by their

looks before personality.

My birthmarks are caused by a genetic condition from my mom's side of the family. My mom’s

mom has birthmarks on her lips, and my mom’s uncle and my uncle have some on their bodies. Every

year I plan to have a procedure to remove them. But when imagining the process, I always get nervous

and give up.

My cousin faces a similar challenge. She has a huge birthmark that takes up her whole arm. She’s

never tried to hide it or change her appearance. Once, her grandmother told her that the birthmark

looked extremely prominent and suggested that she should wear long sleeves more often. If my cousin

had actually taken that suggestion, she wouldn’t be such a person as she is.

Inspired by my cousin, I am finally accepting who I am and now I don’t hesitate when someone

asks me about them either. I say, “They’re beauty marks” and smile without pursing my lips.

1. How did the author feel when asked about the birthmarks?

A. She felt excited to show her difference. B. She felt annoyed to give others an

answer.

C. She was scared to be made fun of by people. D. She was bored to be faced with the

question.

2. What can be inferred about the author’s cousin?

A. She dislikes talking about her birthmark. B. She never judges others by their looks.

C. She is more confident than the author. D. She has taken her grandma’s suggestion.

3. What does the underlined word “prominent” in paragraph 4 mean?

A. Brilliant. B. Obvious. C. Harmful. D. Impressive.

【答案】1. D 2. C 3. B

【解析】

这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者的嘴唇上生来带有一块胎记，作者在成长过程中总是被

问及这块胎记，让作者感到厌烦。每年作者都计划做手术切除它们，但是当想象这个过程的时

候，总是很紧张，然后就放弃了。最后作者在自信的表姐的激励下，终于接受了自己是谁，现

在当别人问起的时候，也不再犹豫。

【1题详解】

推理判断题。根据第二段中“ In pictures, I used to hide my birthmarks by pursing my lips so I

wouldn’t have to deal with people’s questions. As I was growing up, people wore me out with them.

Some people would ask me the same questions even before knowing my name.(在照片中，我撅起嘴

唇来隐藏我的胎记，这样我就不用面对别人的问题了。在我成长的过程中，人们让我筋疲力尽。

有些人甚至不知道我的名字就问我同样的问题)”可知，当被问及胎记时，作者感到很厌烦。故

选D。

【2题详解】

推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中 “ Once, her grandmother told her that the birthmark looked

extremely prominent and suggested that she should wear long sleeves more often. If my cousin had

actually taken that suggestion, she wouldn’t be such a person as she is.(有一次，她的祖母告诉她那

胎记看起来特别突出，建议她多穿长袖衣服。如果我表姐真的接受了这个建议，她就不是她

了)”以及最后一段中“Inspired by my cousin, I am finally accepting who I am and now I don’t

hesitate when someone asks me about them either.(在我表姐的激励下，我终于接受了我是谁，现

在当别人问起我的时候，我也不会犹豫)”可推知，作者的表姐比作者更自信。故选 C。

3题详解】

词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“suggested that she should wear long sleeves more often”可知，因

为表姐的胎记看起来特别明显，所以祖母建议她多穿长袖衣服。故划线词意思为“明显的”

A. Brilliant.杰出的；B. Obvious.明显的；C. Harmful.有害的；D. Impressive.令人印象深刻的。

故选 B。

When your alarm clock rings and you drag yourself out of bed, you probably wonder: Why on

earth does school have to start so early?

Fortunately, there is a new law to back you up—or better still, science. A law in California

requires that public middle schools begin classes no earlier than 8:00 am and that high schools start no

earlier than 8:30 am. The law will go into effect by July 1, 2022.

Starting school at 8:00 or 8:30 in the morning may not sound like a big change, but it could mean

one more hour of sleep for students who used to start school at 7:30 or even earlier. “The effect of that

one hour is something they will be feeling as 40-year-old adults,” Sumit Bhargava, a sleep expert at

Stanford University, told The New York Times. He said that not having enough sleep can affect

students’ mental health and increase the risk of fatness and diabetes.

In the short run, students’ school performances should improve almost immediately. Kyla

Wahlstrom, a researcher at the University of Minnesota’s College of Education and Human

Development, found that students who have enough sleep are more active in class and get better

grades.

Some might say that urging students to go to bed earlier could have been a much easier solution

than changing the school timetable across an entire state. But according to the American Academy of

Sleep Medicine, teenagers go through biological changes when they enter adolescence, which makes it

difficult for them to fall asleep before 11:00 pm. So when school starts at 8:00 or earlier, they can

hardly get the ideal 8.5-9.5 hours of sleep that experts suggest they need to do their best in the

daytime.

This is why when the new law came out, its author, Anthony Portantino, said, “Generations of

【

children will come to appreciate this historic day and our governor for taking bold action.”

4. What does the first paragraph serve as?

A. A background. B. An explanation. C. An introduction. D. A definition.

5. What can we learn from Bhargava’s words?

A. The new law is of lasting benefit to students.

B. Lack of sleep affects adults more than children.

C. Enough sleep guarantees students’ mental health.

D. The amount of sleep people need changes with age.

6. What is the passage mainly talking about?

A. Less sleep easily makes for health problems.

B. California is pushing back school start times.

C. A law to start the school day later takes effect.

D. Teenagers’ biological changes affect their sleep patterns.

【答案】4. C 5. A 6. B

【解析】

这是一篇新闻报道。文章主要介绍了加州的一项法律要求公立中学不早于早上 8点上课，高中

不早于早上 8点半上课。该法律将于 2022 年7月1日生效。这项法律是有科学依据的，对此某

些专家表示支持，而有些组织则提出了不同的看法。

【4题详解】

推理判断题。根据第一段“ When your alarm clock rings and you drag yourself out of bed, you

probably wonder: Why on earth does school have to start so early?(当你的闹钟响起，你从床上挣扎

着爬起来，你可能会想：究竟为什么学校要这么早开始上课？)”以及第二段“Fortunately, there

is a new law to back you up—or better still, science. A law in California requires that public middle

schools begin classes no earlier than 8:00 am and that high schools start no earlier than 8:30 am. The

law will go into effect by July 1, 2022.(幸运的是，现在有一条新的法律支持你——或者说成是科

学更好。加州的一项法律要求公立中学不早于早上 8点上课，高中不早于早上 8点半上课。该

法律将于 2022 年7月1日生效)”可推知，第一段的目的是引入第二段关于新法律的话题。故选

C。

【5题详解】

推理判断题。根据第三段中“‘The effect of that one hour is something they will be feeling as 40-

year-old adults,’ Sumit Bhargava, a sleep expert at Stanford University, told The New York Times. He

said that not having enough sleep can affect students’ mental health and increase the risk of fatness

and diabetes.(‘这一个小时的影响是他们作为 40 岁的成年人会感受到的，’斯坦福大学的睡眠

专家 Sumit Bhargava 告诉《纽约时报》。他说，睡眠不足会影响学生的心理健康，增加发胖和

糖尿病的风险)”可推知，我们能从Bhargava 的话中了解到新法律对学生有长久的好处。故选

A。

【6题详解】

主旨大意题。根据第二段“A law in California requires that public middle schools begin classes no

earlier than 8:00 am and that high schools start no earlier than 8:30 am. The law will go into effect by

July 1, 2022.(加州的一项法律要求公立中学不早于早上 8点上课，高中不早于早上 8点半上课。

该法律将于 2022 年7月1日生效)”，结合文章还说明了这项法律是有科学依据的，对此某些专
