（1）2021届辽宁渤大附中、育明高中高三第一次考试之 B篇
Many people, some even at a very young age, set the goal of graduating from college. One American woman
in Texas waited a long time for her chance to reach that goal.
The woman, 85-year-old Janet Feiin, received her bachelor's degree from the university of Texas in December,
2018.
Fein has had a full life. She raised five children and then had a career as a secretary until she retired at age 77.
But even then, she was not ready to take it easy and rest during a well-earned retirement. She decided to major in
sociology.
Fein grew up in the Bronx area of New York City. In high school, she just wanted to finish and get a job. After
graduating early, at the age of 16, she went to work as a secretary.
After getting married, she spent 18 years staying home with her children. She held several jobs throughout her
life, including being a secretary at a Dallas hospital. That is the job she retired from in 2011. She received an
associate degree in 1995. But she also wanted to earn a bachelor's degree. Fein took part in a state program that lets
people who are 65 and older take free classes at public universities in Texas.
She kept going to class even as her health condition worsened. During her studies, it became necessary for her
to use a walker to get around and she required oxygen. She also developed knee problems. So, Fein took online
classes to finish the last part of her degree requirements.
Renee Brown is one of Fein's caregivers. She says Fein has also stimulated her. At 53, she plans to begin
nursing school to further her career. Brown says Fein told her, "Renee, you can do it. If I can do it you also can do
it, and you will feel so good about it.
4. When did Janet Fein start to work?
A. In 1933 B. In 1950 C. In 1995 D. In 2012.
5. What does she study for her bachelor's degree?
A. Sociology B. Secretary C. History D. Heath
6. What does the underlined word "stimulate" probably mean?
A. Shock B. Disappoint C. Employ D. Inspire
7. What can we learn from Janet Fein's study?
A. A friend in need is a friend indeed. B. It is never too late to learn.
C. Practice makes perfect. D. When in Rome, do as the Romans do.
【答案】4. B 5. A 6. D 7. B
【解析】

这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了，美国一位 85 岁老太太通过不懈努力最终获得了学士学位的故事。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。由第二段中的“The woman, 85-year-old Janet Feiin, received her bachelor's degree from the
university of Texas in December, 2018.”（这名妇女，85 岁的 Janet Feiin 于2018 年12 月从德克萨斯大学获
得学士学位。），可知她出生于 1934 年；和第四段中的“After graduating early, at the age of 16, she went to
work as a secretary.”（16 岁的她早早毕业后，就去当秘书。），可知珍 Janet Feiin 于1950 年参加工作。故
选B项。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。由第三段中的“She decided to major in sociology.”（她决定主修社会学。），可知她攻读社
会学学士学位。故选 A项。
【6题详解】
词义猜测题。由最后一段中的“She says Fein has also stimulated her. At 53, she plans to begin nursing school to
further her career. Brown says Fein told her, "Renee, you can do it. If I can do it you also can do it, and you will
feel so good about it.”（她说 Feiin 也 stimulated 了她。53 岁的她打算开始上护理学校，以进一步发展自
己的事业。Brown 说Feiin 告诉她，“Renee，你能做到的。如果我能做到，你也能做到，你会感觉很
好。），可知 Renee 应该是受到了 Feiin 事迹的激励，从而也开始学习，stimulate 在此处意为“Inspire（激
励）”。故选 D项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。由第二段“The woman, 85-year-old Janet Feiin, received her bachelor's degree from the university
of Texas in December, 2018.”（这名妇女，85 岁的 Janet Fein 于2018 年12 月从德克萨斯大学获得学士学
位。），第五段中的“She received an associate degree in 1995. But she also wanted to earn a bachelor's degree.
Fein took part in a state program that lets people who are 65 and older take free classes at public universities in
Texas.”（她于 1995 年获得副学士学位。但她也想获得学士学位。费恩参加了一个州计划，让 65 岁以上的
人在德克萨斯州的公立大学免费上课。）和第六段中的“She kept going to class even as her health condition
worsened.”（尽管她的健康状况恶化了，她还是继续上课。），可知文章讲退休的 Janet Fein 克服困难坚
持学习的故事，告诉我们应该树立终身学习的意识，B项“活到老学到老”符合以上推测。故选 B项。
（2）山东省 2021 届高三开学质量检测之 B篇
When Emanuel received an email from Professor Richard English. Queen’s Pro-Vice-Chancellor at the School
of History, Anthropology, Philosophy and Politics, encouraging him to apply for a PhD in Politics in Belfast, it
was a pinch-me moment Emanual never thought would be possible. After all, just a few short years ago, he was
2
living on the streets couch-surfing at friends’ houses and weeding gardens to make ends meet. Now, one of the
world’s leading political academics was preparing to welcome him to Queen’s University over 4,000 miles away.
Emanuel never knew who his father was and his mom was mentally ill when she gave birth to him, so the
hospital took him off her and he was unofficially adopted for the first few years of his life. What followed was a
childhood with uncertainty as Emanuel was passed between the adoption system and family members.
Through his high school and community college years, he moved from house to house, living with friends at
times and living on the streets at others.
Determined to change all that despite his rocky start in life, Emanuel involved himself in school-doing
everything he could to earn extra tuition ( 学费) money in his spare time. But getting accepted into university was
scarcely possible because a person like him couldn’t get a regular student loan.
Fortunately, the government backed him, having created a policy allowing disadvantaged persons to access
funding for higher education. He graduated from the University of the West Indies with a 1st Class Honors degree
and went on to do his Masters.
Emanuel knows that his story could have been very different.
“I discovered Professor Richard English online and sent him an email honestly, not thinking he would reply
and to my surprise, he did. I applied for the highly competitive Commonwealth Shared Scholarship Scheme in
order to fund my research at Queen’s. When I was told I was successful, my whole world changed.”
24. What does the underlined word “pinch-me” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?
A. Expected. B. Unbelievable. C. Awkward. D. Anxious.
25. What happened to Emanuel in his childhood?
A. His father was mentally ill.
B. He was abandoned by his mother.
C. He was once adopted by his relatives.
D. He lived with his friends now and then.
26. How did Emanuel afford his university education?
A. By receiving a regular student loan.
B. By earning the tuition all by himself.
C. By borrowing the money from friends.
D. By getting support from the government.
27. What can we learn from Emanuel’s story?
A. Well begun is half done.
