专题06 阅读理解记叙文 2024年高考真题 Passage1 【新课标Ⅰ卷】“I am not crazy,” says Dr. William Farber, shortly after performing acupuncture (针灸) on a rabbit. “I am ahead of my time.” If he seems a little defensive, it might be because even some of his coworkers occasionally laugh at his unusual methods. But Farber is certain he’ll have the last laugh. He’s one of a small but growing number of American veterinarians (兽医) now practicing “holistic” medicine-combining traditional Western treatments with acupuncture, chiropractic (按摩疗法) and herbal medicine. Farber, a graduate of Colorado State University, started out as a more conventional veterinarian. He became interested in alternative treatments 20 years ago when he suffered from terrible back pain. He tried muscle-relaxing drugs but found little relief. Then he tried acupuncture, an ancient Chinese practice, and was amazed that he improved after two or three treatments. What worked on a veterinarian seemed likely to work on his patients. So, after studying the techniques for a couple of years, he began offering them to pets. Leigh Tindale’s dog Charlie had a serious heart condition. After Charlie had a heart attack, Tindale says, she was prepared to put him to sleep, but Farber’s treatments eased her dog’s suffering so much that she was able to keep him alive for an additional five months. And Priscilla Dewing reports that her horse, Nappy, “moves more easily and rides more comfortably” after a chiropractic adjustment. Farber is certain that the holistic approach will grow more popular with time, and if the past is any indication, he may be right: Since 1982, membership in the American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association has grown from 30 to over 700. “Sometimes it surprises me that it works so well,” he says. “I will do anything to help an animal. That’s my job.” 24. What do some of Farber’s coworkers think of him? A. He’s odd. B. He’s strict. C. He’s brave. D. He’s rude. 25. Why did Farber decide to try acupuncture on pets? A. He was trained in it at university. B. He was inspired by another veterinarian. C. He benefited from it as a patient. D. He wanted to save money for pet owners. 26. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. Steps of a chiropractic treatment. B. The complexity of veterinarians’ work. C. Examples of rare animal diseases. D. The effectiveness of holistic medicine. 27. Why does the author mention the American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association? A. To prove Farber’s point. B. To emphasize its importance. C. To praise veterinarians. D. To advocate animal protection. Passage2 【新课标ⅠⅠ卷】Do you ever get to the train station and realize you forgot to bring something to read? Yes, we all have our phones, but many of us still like to go old school and read something printed. Well, there’s a kiosk (小亭) for that. In the San Francisco Bay Area, at least. “You enter the fare gates (检票口) and you’ll see a kiosk that is lit up and it tells you can get a one-minute, a three-minute, or a five-minute story,” says Alicia Trost, the chief communications officer for the San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit — known as BART. “You choose which length you want and it gives you a receipt-like short story.” It’s that simple. Riders have printed nearly 20,000 short stories and poems since the program was launched last March. Some are classic short stories, and some are new original works. Trost also wants to introduce local writers to local riders. “We wanted to do something where we do a call to artists in the Bay Area to submit stories for a contest,” Trost says. “And as of right now, we’ve received about 120 submissions. The winning stories would go into our kiosk and then you would be a published artist.” Ridership on transit (交通) systems across the country has been down the past half century, so could short stories save transit? Trost thinks so. “At the end of the day all transit agencies right now are doing everything they can to improve the rider experience. So I absolutely think we will get more riders just because of short stories,” she says. And you’ll never be without something to read. 4. Why did BART start the kiosk program? A. To promote the local culture. B. To discourage phone use. C. To meet passengers’ needs. D. To reduce its running costs. 5. How are the stories categorized in the kiosk? A. By popularity. B. By length. C. By theme. D. By language. 6. What has Trost been doing recently? A. Organizing a story contest. B. Doing a survey of customers. C. Choosing a print publisher. D. Conducting interviews with artists. 7. What is Trost’s opinion about BART’s future? A. It will close down. B. Its profits will decline. C. It will expand nationwide. D. Its ridership will increase. Passage3 Passage4 Passage5 Passage6 2024年名校模拟题 Passage1 （2024·湖南怀化·一模）Due to the fact that the average life expectancy in Ghana is 64 years old, and the most common causes of death are largely treatable conditions, such as malaria, stroke, and respiratory infections. Boateng, growing up in a small village in southern Ghana/struggling to access basic health care, felt an urgent call to help and decided he would make it his life’s mission to bring health care to remote communities in Ghana. Boateng worked hard in school, getting a scholarship to study biology at Cornell University in the US, and ultimately earned his master’s in Healthcare Administration. Later he started his nonprofit, OKB Hope Foundation, and converted a van into a mobile doctor’s office called the Hope Health Van to bring health care directly to those in need in 2021. A few times a week, the mobile clinic and medical team travel long distances to remote communities in Ghana and provide free routine medical care. On each trip, Boateng’s team consists of a nurse, a physician’s assistant, a doctor, and an operation assistant. In the van, they can run basic labs like bloodwork and urinalysis as well as prescribe and provide medications. “It’s like a one-stop shop for people,” said Boateng, adding that most of the people they see have one health issue or another. Since its launch, Boateng says the Hope Health Van has served more than 4, 000 Ghanaians across more than 45 rural communities who otherwise don’t have easily accessible medical care. To supplement the mobile clinic, Boateng’s organization has also trained 20 volunteers to serve as local health advocates. They check people’s vitals and provide the medical team with timely data for assessing how to move forward with care and treatment, especially for those whose health is at risk. In the future, Boateng hopes to expand to provide more consistent and high-quality medical care not only to those living in remote areas of Ghana but in other countries as well. “I believe that our model can be replicated in sub-Saharan Africa,” he said. 4．What inspired Boateng to set his life goal? A．He wanted to get a scholarship. B．Many locals died of deadly diseases. C．The birthplace of him was small and poor. D．Basic health care was inaccessible for locals. 5．What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A．How Boateng’s team functions. B．Why Boateng’s team was founded. C．What Boateng’s team has achieved. D．Where Boateng’s team has travelled. 6．What is Boateng’s attitude to his team in the future? A．Ambiguous. B．Ambitious. C．Indifferent. D．Doubtful. 7．What is the best title for the text? A．A van bringing medical care to thousands B．A country lacking basic health care C．Efforts to provide people with medications D．Mobile vans travelling through Ghana Passage2 （2024·安徽合肥·三模）At the beginning of graduate school, I knew that if I wanted to get tenure (长期聘用), I had to be productive. However, when my first three papers were rejected by major journals, a leading expert told me my projects were hopeless, and I wondered if I should drop out. We all get rejected at work, whether it’s having our suggestions shot down or getting fired from a job. It causes pain. Neuroscientists (神经系统科学家) have scanned the brains of people who have cruelly been excluded from an online game. The physiological (生理学的) response looks fairly similar to processing physical pain. Apparently, this was adaptive in our evolutionary past. If rejection didn’t hurt, you might have been perfectly comfortable leaving your tribe, which would not be good for your survival. But it’s left us nervous and likely to overreact to everyday rejections. If you’ve ever given a presentation and felt upset by the one unfriendly face in a room full of smiles, you know what I mean. That’s the bad news. The good news is that we can learn to accept rejection calmly. “When you’re insecure in one, you rely on the other one that’s doing better at that time. Pliability (柔韧性) is the definition of strength,” said filmmaker M. Night Shyamalan. When my work got rejected early in my academic career, pliability became my source of strength. My identity as a researcher was under threat, but that wasn’t what had drawn me to graduate school in the first place. I had another, stronger identity: I wanted to be a teacher. However, I hadn’t had the chance: The first two years of my program were supposed to focus entirely on research. I realized that if I wanted to bounce back from the research rejections, I had to find a way to teach. I convinced an adviser to sign off on independent study projects for a group of students, and I started meeting with them weekly to teach my own little class. The conversations with the students gave rise to my first two major papers, which gave me a head start toward tenure. 4．What was the author’s reaction to the leading expert’s words? A．He took his advice. B．He felt discouraged. C．He paid no attention. D．He consulted another expert. 5．What have neuroscientists found out? A．Rejection really hurts. B．Rejection is important to survival. C．People tend to overreact to rejection. D．Physical pain grows because of rejection. 6．What does the author advise us to do when facing rejection? A．Find out the reasons behind it. B．Forgive those who reject us. C．Turn to our stronger identity. D．Learn a lesson from past failures. 7．What happened to the author at last? A．He left graduate school. B．He turned into a middle school teacher. C．He worked on practicing his physical pliability. D．He accomplished some research work successfully. Passage3 （2024·浙江嘉兴·二模）I have always been proud of my handwriting, a skill I was taught in grade school. The teacher was teaching us the Palmer Penmanship Method, drilling into us the importance of forming big flowing lines when we wrote g’s and s’s as well as beautiful f’s that in my mind were like fairy tale princesses wearing fancy hats while extending their right foot. We were strictly prohibited from using block letters on our homework, as they lack the beauty. Now it becomes apparent that young people no longer learn cursive(草书). They type everything, mostly on their phones. Beautiful handwriting is a thing of the past. This has become a source of great sadness among traditionalists. But recently something happened that shook my faith in cursive. To my complete disbelief, not one but two of my close friends complained about the handwriting on my postcards. They were grateful for the beautiful postcards I regularly sent, but they said they honestly couldn't read a thing I had written. One friend went so far as to ask if I could use block letters next time so that she could understand what I was writing. Initially, I was angry. I had made the effort to cover an entire postcard with what I viewed as not just handwriting but calligraphy. But then I showed an English friend a postcard I'd just written, and he said that the only thing that was readily understandable was the letters “U. S. A．” The rest of it, he politely suggested, looked like “chicken scrawl”. Looking at the postcard dispassionately, I unwillingly admit that he has a point. All the m’s and n’s run together, and the l’s look like l’s. The a’s are indistinguishable from the q’s. So, from now on, I'm taking their advice and using block letters to communicate. In fact, I just now sent an old friend a postcard. But this time, I simply wrote—in big block letters: DEAR ALICE: HI. JOE. I hope she gets the message. 4．What do we know about the Palmer Penmanship Method? A．It is characterized by big flowing lines. B．It is rarely appreciated by traditionalists. C．It was not allowed in students'homework. D．It is viewed as a trend in handwriting styles. 5．What weakened the writer’s belief in cursive? A．The popularity of block letters in recent times. B．The younger generation’s disinterest in cursive. C．His friends’ failure to comprehend his postcards. D．His English friend's suggestion on postcard design. 6．Why did the writer switch to block letters for communication? A．To deliver his message clearly. B．To improve his handwriting skills. C．To win praise from his friends. D．To show his passion for calligraphy. 7．What is the text mainly about? A．The wide use of cursive. B．The sad decline of cursive. C．The value of preserving cursive. D．The technique of writing in cursive. Passage4 （2024·河南南阳·模拟预测）The Music Educator Award, presented by the Recording Academy and Grammy Museum, recognizes those who have made a significant contribution to music education. This year it went to Annie Ray, a teacher at Annandale High School in Fairfax County, Virginia. She was honored for her efforts to make music accessible to all students, particularly those with disabilities. Ray attended the awards ceremony in Los Angeles, took photos with pop stars and brought home a $10,000 prize and matching grant (补助金) for her school’s music program. But she considers the award to be her students. Ray loved music and was regarded as a music talent at an early age. She was inspired by the diversity of the Annandale community, which she says represents over 60 countries. There are a lot of cultures that might typically clash (冲突), but they come together in this very beautiful harmony. So she created the Crescendo Orchestra (管弦乐队) for students with disabilities, as well as a parent orchestra that teaches nearly 200 caregivers a year to play the same instrument as their child. The orchestra is about much more than just making music, however. It gives students a chance to develop their cooperation skills and learn the art of improving something. “I really push my students to be bold, go out of their comfort zones, challenge themselves and become confident,” Ray said. “Meanwhile, they completely changed my educational approaches. I learn to teach them according to their own abilities and pace.” At the Grammys, what impressed her was that many famous performers agreed that a good music educator can change one’s life, which made her feel what she did was rewarding. But she faces some challenges. One is that not many people understand how much music educators’ work matters. Another challenge is resources. Her school desperately needs new instruments but lacks enough money. “It is a hard profession, but I never give up. There’s nothing else like it,” Ray said. 4．What motivated Ray to create the Crescendo Orchestra? A．The cultural diversity. B．Her talent for music. C．Her disabled students’ desire. D．The Annandale community’s advice. 5．What effect does Ray have on her students? A．They made greater musical achievements. B．They took comfort from life’s improvements. C．They became more cooperative and confident. D．They developed effective learning approaches. 6．What challenge is Ray facing now? A．Shortage of funds. B．Hardship of being a teacher. C．Lack of reward for work. D．Disapproval from music educators. 7．Which words can best describe Ray? A．Humorous and helpful. B．Modest and determined. C．Wise and adventurous. D．Demanding and ambitious. Passage5 （2024·黑龙江吉林·模拟预测）It took an ill screech owl (鸣角鸮) to teach a scientist the value of up-close-and-personal study. In his Harvad talk, Carl Safina, an ecologist and author of Alfie and Me: What Owls Know, What Humans Believe, recalled that the chick was found dying in his backyard. Safina took it in and planned to nurse it back to health and then perform release. But the owlet's flight feathers didn't grow properly. Safina delayed the release. Over those extended months, Safina got to know Alfie in ways that moved and changed him. “An owl found me and then I was watching ‘an owl’,” he said. “It was no longer an owl after a while, it was ‘she’ because she had a history with me. This little owl, who was with me much longer than I thought she would be, became an individual to me by that history and all those interactions.” The bond with Alfie strengthened to the point that, when she was finally released, she created a territory with Safina's home at its center. Safina was able to spend hours each day observing her in the woods as she learned to take care of herself in the wild, met two mates, and raised chicks of her own. When he heard Alfie calling, Safina said, he'd call back and she'd land nearby. Their closeness allowed him to learn more things about screech owls. Field guides, for example, describe two known calls but he identified six, some of which you have to be quite close to hear. The relationship also opened a window for Safina onto personality differences between Alfie and her mates. When pointed out that his approach to Alfie—including the act of naming her—ran counter to widespread scientific practice, Safina said he wasn't concerned about violating (违反) convention, particularly if something interesting like individual personality differences among owls could be learned. The experience caused Safina to think more deeply about humankind's relationship with nature and the kind of personal connection he was able to feel with a wild individual. “What I learned from Alfie is that all sentient (有情感的) beings seek a feeling of well-being and freedom of movement,” Safina said. “That's a guide to what's right and what's wrong to me.” 4．What do we know about Alfie? A．She developed a close bond with Safina. B．She was a fictional character in Safina's book. C．She intentionally landed in Safina's backyard. D．She was dying because of the broken flight feathers. 5．What happened after Safina released Alfie? A．Alfie chose to stay with Safina at his home. B．They maintained a continous communication. C．Alfie met mates and raised chicks by herself. D．Safina kept his distance from her to prevent attachment. 6．What did Safina achieve in his study? A．Recording six different calls of the screech owl. B．Identifying different types of owls by their calls. C．Learning how to release owls back into the wild. D．Understanding personality differences among owls. 7．How did Safina's experience with Alfie impact him? A．He became more focused on exploring nature. B．He initiated his commitment to wildlife conservation. C．He developed a deep appreciation for the welfare of living creatures. D．He decided to guide readers to distinguish between right and wrong. Passage6 （2024·浙江绍兴·三模）Sandoval, who comes from Los Angeles, has traveled and filmed in over 50 countries across seven continents and now lives in China. “In 2008, tired of my studio work in the U.S, I came to China, thinking I would be here one or two years, but it has turned out to be 16 years!” he said. He hopes his photographs will inspire others to embark on adventures as well. Sandoval is a professional photographer and learned commercial photography at what was then the Brooks Institute of Photography. With the hope of trying something different for himself, he went to Chengdu in Southwest China to live in October 2008 and has traveled throughout the country since then. In the beginning, he did editorial work for magazines both in and outside Sichuan, such as Vogue. Then he worked with the Sichuan tourism department to produce travel brochures, and also on ad campaigns for destinations for corporate companies. To him, Chengdu is the capital of a laid-back lifestyle. He was delighted to see that residents, dressed stylishly or comfortably, strolled in the streets “as slowly as snails”. Almost a “walking encyclopedia” of Chengdu, Sandoval covered every corner of Chengdu and recorded Chengduese and their lives with his camera, listening to the sound of mahjong tiles being shuffled and music from traditional stringed instruments. He also goes from place to place with his heavy travel kit. The varied culture and vast, beautiful land has kept him in China much longer than he had planned in the beginning. He remembers a wide range of adventures like exploring a local vineyard and local wine in Yinchuan City, a riding performance by a Mongolian ethnic group in the Shuidonggou Horse Riding Show, and then the totally different experience of visiting the Hainan Free Trade Port in the south. He thinks he has done a lot in “this beautiful and vast country” with his “travel photos”. “I try to show people the beauty of where I go. I try to inspire them to travel and go to places. I’m hoping to do more international work,” he said. 4．Why did Sandoval come to China? A．He was not good at studio work. B．He wanted to step out of the comfort zone. C．He had a preference for international work. D．He was attracted by the picturesque nature of China. 5．What does the underlined word “laid-back” in Paragraph 4 refer to? A．Leisurely. B．Simple. C．Luxurious. D．Healthy. 6．Sandoval’s experiences around China are mentioned in Paragraph 5 to show _______. A．Sandoval’s diverse hobbies B．Sandoval’s desire for new careers C．Sandoval’s superb photo technique D．Sandoval’s fascination for Chinese culture 7．What is the writing purpose of this passage? A．To call on readers to take up photography. B．To praise Sandoval for spreading Chinese culture. C．To facilitate the development of tourism in Chengdu. D．To introduce the experience of a professional photographer. Passage7 （2024·山东日照·模拟预测）Travelling seemed like falsehood to me. I grew tired of backpackers expressing too much praise about how petting a baby elephant in Thailand “transformed” them. Globe-traveling to me held no more promise than finding a few bills in the pocket of an old coat. I needed something deeper than an Eat, Play, Love moment. One day, Vasilis, my Greek best friend, reminded me of our decade-old promise: after our final exams, I would visit his hometown in Athens. Maybe, it was time to make good on that promise. I finally boarded the plane. Vasilis picked me up at the airport. I smiled, thinking how improbable this moment seemed all those years ago. The decade-long wait proved to be well worth it. Every step through the ancient streets revealed new wonders. However, none of them truly mattered. What would forever alter my perception of travel was a chance encounter with a local. Vasilis and I were wandering Athens when a special sound caught our attention — a rhythmic clinking disturbing the quietness of the residential street. Curiously, we followed the sound to a humble workshop. Inside, a welder (焊工) gave no mind to our presence behind him. He wore no flashy protective suit — this was just another day for him, another dance with fire and metal that had become second nature. Under the sunshade, his orange cat rested in the comforting warmth... As the man continued welding, I felt a bit of envy. I envied his peace and contentment. I admired the simplicity he embodied. I imagined the welder happy, finding fulfillment in his craft (手艺) and returning to his loving family...The moment moved me to tears. Leaving the workshop, rain blending with tears, I realized how easily life’s poetry could pass unnoticed. Home again in Montreal, I stop simply pursuing better things, better experiences and better people that are never grasped. I realize the real journey is inward — to appreciate life’s ordinary magic. That sure beats petting any baby elephant. I may not have returned home “transformed,” but I’ll always think of the welder and his cat. 4．Which aspect of travelling makes the author feel uneasy? A．Shortage of adequate funds. B．Discomfort in dietary habits. C．Overstatement of travel’s effects. D．Danger of petting baby animals. 5．What drove the author to go to Athens? A．Meeting a commitment. B．Exploring a unique landscape. C．Receiving further education. D．Escaping from the current life. 6．What does the underlined word “poetry” in paragraph 6 probably refer to? A．Poems written by masters. B．Peace and simplicity. C．Spirit of craftsmanship. D．Special sound in the street. 7．Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text? A．Friendship Lasts Forever B．Travelling Shapes a Better Self C．Pursuit of Happiness Never Stops D．The Ordinary Makes Extraordinary Passage8 （2024·福建泉州·二模）When training for my first marathon, I treated myself to an expensive fitness watch that tracked my time, pace and splits. At the end of my final training run, I threw myself down on the floor the moment I got home, only to see my watch had failed me. Twenty-one miles briefly flashed on the screen before it went blank and disappeared forever. I screamed in pain. That tragic image of me crying on my living room floor pretty much sums up my relationship with exercise tracking technology. It can be a total joy to watch your data change as you get stronger and faster, but sometimes it became a stick for punishment. I would compare my pace with other people’s or criticize myself for not doing it 30 seconds faster. I never really recognized this as a problem. To me, tracking was the route to self-improvement, and the point was to be better. In the past year, “being better” has taken on a different meaning. My mental health dropped, and things like brushing my teeth became unimaginably difficult. Being better stopped meaning getting faster or stronger. It meant taking care of myself and feeling some joy. Once I started getting better, I reflected on what made me happy and what did not. So, I stopped tracking my runs and deleted all the data. I then found I genuinely love running. I run around my local park with a silly little smile. But I do not love running quickly. I do not like races. I do not want to be pushed to be faster. I now notice how my legs feel and how my mind feels afterwards — clear and focused. I notice the smell of the wild plants and the sunshine on my face. I am better. Sometimes I am worse. But either way I’m moving forward slowly and firmly, and that’s good enough. 4．The author cried after the final training run because she ________. A．had to stop working out B．became physically worn out C．lost the data on the watch D．felt a sharp pain in the legs 5．The author used to view exercise tracking as ________. A．a fun hobby for enjoyment B．a strong need for recognition C．a method of escaping punishment D．a way of being a better runner 6．What does “being better” mean to the author now? A．Getting pleasure out of winning races. B．Being more focused on her life goal. C．Freeing herself from demanding tasks. D．Improving her overall well-being. 7．What can we conclude from this passage? A．Adjustment brings happiness. B．Passion is the key to success. C．Sports contribute to happiness. D．Success equals self-improvement. Passage9 （2024·山东·模拟预测）“It’s like riding a bike” is a common comment when you want to remind someone that it’s hard to forget a basic skill. But what if you don’t know how to ride a bike? This was something Annette Kruger, an avid (热衷的) cyclist, saw that was true for many women in Berlin, including refugees, who’d moved to there. Whether they weren’t allowed or didn’t have the opportunity to learn, these women had never experienced the health benefits and independence that cycling offers. That is why, seven years ago, Kruger started Bikeygees, a non-profit organization focused on teaching women to ride a bike. The group members gather for two hours for training sessions every week. Advanced riders can borrow bikes and helmets for free to practise on their own. The group also teaches women how to fix bikes, instilling (逐步培养) a sense of self-sufficiency, says Kruger. If they can do bike repairs, ride and learn the German rules of the road, they are awarded with a bike kit, including a bike, a helmet, a bike lock and bike tools. More than 500 bikes have been donated so far, and Kruger says the goal is to eventually provide all participants with their own bikes. To date, the group has taught more than 1,400 women and has met in more than 20 locations within Germany, including in emergency shelters. Participants have said that riding a bike allows them not only freedom of movement — some of the women use them to bring their children to school—but also hope for the future. Kruger says that she can see the impact that concentrating on a new skill has on the women. “We can’t replace what someone lost in their life, but we can offer something new. The success is measured in the smiles of the riders when they conquer another bike skill. She recalls one student in her 60s who continued to practice through a bitter winter.” She said, “This is a dream for me. I have been waiting my whole life to do this.” 4．What did the women in Berlin obtain from Bikeygees? A．Opportunities to learn German. B．Chances to move away from Berlin. C．Attention to their living conditions. D．Fitness and freedom to get around. 5．Which of the following best describes Annette Kruger? A．Industrious. B．Innocent. C．Ambitious. D．Careful. 6．What do we learn about the Bikeygees project? A．It has made large profits. B．It becomes increasingly popular. C．It offers more bikes than needed. D．It allows beginners to practise individually. 7．Which is a benefit for the participants from the last paragraph? A．A prospect of future life. B．A movement for women. C．The capacity to earn money. D．The freedom of their children. Passage10 （2024·河北·三模）Many biologists are drawn to ocean animals like sea turtles and whales. For me, the pale, blind creatures in the world’s darkest caves are more attractive. As an underwater cave ecologist, I find and name new species. I have described eight new species of sponges (海绵物种) so far, seven of which live only in caves. Sometimes I count the population of organisms to see how their numbers change over time. I also study how different species interact with one another and their environment. When I start diving with my team members, there’s natural light around us, but as we div e farther, it turns dark, and we switch on our lights and follow the cave line — a thin thread explorers leave behind for divers to find their way in and out of the cave. While some caves are just a few meters long, some stretch over 300 kilometers and could be deeper than 50 meters. Diving at this depth, you might fall in narcosis,a state where the brain feels like it’s on a high, similar to being drunk. We might run into trouble an hour or so away from the cave entrance. But the mysterious (神秘的) world we see inside is worth the risk. I remember diving into El Aerolito Cave on Cozumel Island in Mexico, where I recorded 101 species. My most exciting encounter to date has been with remipedes — poisonous wormlike creatures found only in underwater caves. It took me around 200 dives before I came face to face with about 15 of them hidden deep in the caves of Cozumel. These delicate ecosystems are rapidly changing due to water pollution, climate change, and construction activities. We might lose the many life forms in these deep, dark worlds before we can even begin to understand them. I’m determined to explore all I can while they still exist. I’m taking advanced diving lessons and learning new laboratory techniques so that I can go even deeper into understanding this environment. 1．What does the author mainly talk about in Paragraph 1? A．His job duties. B．His travel experiences. C．His wide-ranging interests. D．His concern over the environment. 2．What do cave explorers leave behind for the cave ecologists? A．The cave line. B．The head lights. C．The life supplies. D．The measuring tools. 3．What can be inferred about the author in El Aerolito Cave? A．He found polluted water. B．He made amazing discoveries. C．He defeated poisonous creatures. D．He got into trouble far from the entrance. 4．Which of the following can best describe the author? A．Honest and curious. B．Generous and humble. C．Brave and determined. D．Sympathetic and helpful. 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！6 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 专题06 阅读理解记叙文 2024年高考真题 Passage1 【新课标Ⅰ卷】“I am not crazy,” says Dr. William Farber, shortly after performing acupuncture (针灸) on a rabbit. “I am ahead of my time.” If he seems a little defensive, it might be because even some of his coworkers occasionally laugh at his unusual methods. But Farber is certain he’ll have the last laugh. He’s one of a small but growing number of American veterinarians (兽医) now practicing “holistic” medicine-combining traditional Western treatments with acupuncture, chiropractic (按摩疗法) and herbal medicine. Farber, a graduate of Colorado State University, started out as a more conventional veterinarian. He became interested in alternative treatments 20 years ago when he suffered from terrible back pain. He tried muscle-relaxing drugs but found little relief. Then he tried acupuncture, an ancient Chinese practice, and was amazed that he improved after two or three treatments. What worked on a veterinarian seemed likely to work on his patients. So, after studying the techniques for a couple of years, he began offering them to pets. Leigh Tindale’s dog Charlie had a serious heart condition. After Charlie had a heart attack, Tindale says, she was prepared to put him to sleep, but Farber’s treatments eased her dog’s suffering so much that she was able to keep him alive for an additional five months. And Priscilla Dewing reports that her horse, Nappy, “moves more easily and rides more comfortably” after a chiropractic adjustment. Farber is certain that the holistic approach will grow more popular with time, and if the past is any indication, he may be right: Since 1982, membership in the American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association has grown from 30 to over 700. “Sometimes it surprises me that it works so well,” he says. “I will do anything to help an animal. That’s my job.” 24. What do some of Farber’s coworkers think of him? A. He’s odd. B. He’s strict. C. He’s brave. D. He’s rude. 25. Why did Farber decide to try acupuncture on pets? A. He was trained in it at university. B. He was inspired by another veterinarian. C. He benefited from it as a patient. D. He wanted to save money for pet owners. 26. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. Steps of a chiropractic treatment. B. The complexity of veterinarians’ work. C. Examples of rare animal diseases. D. The effectiveness of holistic medicine. 27. Why does the author mention the American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association? A. To prove Farber’s point. B. To emphasize its importance. C. To praise veterinarians. D. To advocate animal protection. 【答案】24. A 25. C 26. D 27. A 【导语】本文是记叙文。文章讲述兽医威廉·法伯(William Farber)博士在从针灸中受益后，将综合医疗应用于动物，并取得了初步成效。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段的“If he seems a little defensive, it might be because even some of his coworkers occasionally laugh at his unusual methods.( 如果他看起来有点自卫，那可能是因为他的一些同事偶尔会嘲笑他不寻常的方法。) ”可知，Farber的同事们有时会嘲笑他不寻常的方法，他们认为他很奇怪。故选A。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段的“Then he tried acupuncture, an ancient Chinese practice, and was amazed that he improved after two or three treatments. What worked on a veterinarian seemed likely to work on his patients. So, after studying the techniques for a couple of years, he began offering them to pets.(然后，他尝试了针灸，这是一种古老的中国疗法，并惊讶地发现，经过两三次治疗，他的病情有所好转。对兽医有效的方法似乎对他的病人也有效。因此，在研究了这些技术几年后，他开始把它们提供给宠物。)”可知，Farber作为患者从针灸中受益，这促使他决定尝试在宠物上使用针灸。故选C。 【26题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段内容“Leigh Tindale’s dog Charlie had a serious heart condition. After Charlie had a heart attack, Tindale says, she was prepared to put him to sleep, but Farber’s treatments eased her dog’s suffering so much that she was able to keep him alive for an additional five months. And Priscilla Dewing reports that her horse, Nappy, “moves more easily and rides more comfortably” after a chiropractic adjustment.(利·廷代尔的狗查理患有严重的心脏病。廷代尔说，查理心脏病发作后，她准备让他进入睡眠状态，但法伯的治疗大大减轻了她的狗的痛苦，她能够让它多活五个月。普里西拉·杜因(Priscilla Dewing)报告说，她的马纳皮(Nappy)经过脊椎按摩调整后，“行动更容易，乘车更舒服”。) ”可知，本段主要讲述了两个例子，一个是Farber通过整体医学方法帮助了患有严重心脏病的狗Charlie，另一个是马Nappy在接受脊椎按摩治疗后移动和骑行更为舒适。这些例子都是为了说明整体医学的有效性。故选D。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段的内容“Farber is certain that the holistic approach will grow more popular with time, and if the past is any indication, he may be right: Since 1982, membership in the American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association has grown from 30 to over 700. ( 法伯确信，随着时间的推移，综合疗法会越来越受欢迎，如果过去有任何迹象的话，他可能是对的:自1982年以来，美国综合兽医协会的会员已经从30个增加到700多个。)”可知，法伯认为综合疗法会越来越受欢迎，随后作者列举了美国综合兽医协会的会员已经从30个增加到700多个的例子，因此推断美国整体兽医协会是为证明法伯的观点。故选A。 Passage2 【新课标ⅠⅠ卷】Do you ever get to the train station and realize you forgot to bring something to read? Yes, we all have our phones, but many of us still like to go old school and read something printed. Well, there’s a kiosk (小亭) for that. In the San Francisco Bay Area, at least. “You enter the fare gates (检票口) and you’ll see a kiosk that is lit up and it tells you can get a one-minute, a three-minute, or a five-minute story,” says Alicia Trost, the chief communications officer for the San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit — known as BART. “You choose which length you want and it gives you a receipt-like short story.” It’s that simple. Riders have printed nearly 20,000 short stories and poems since the program was launched last March. Some are classic short stories, and some are new original works. Trost also wants to introduce local writers to local riders. “We wanted to do something where we do a call to artists in the Bay Area to submit stories for a contest,” Trost says. “And as of right now, we’ve received about 120 submissions. The winning stories would go into our kiosk and then you would be a published artist.” Ridership on transit (交通) systems across the country has been down the past half century, so could short stories save transit? Trost thinks so. “At the end of the day all transit agencies right now are doing everything they can to improve the rider experience. So I absolutely think we will get more riders just because of short stories,” she says. And you’ll never be without something to read. 4. Why did BART start the kiosk program? A. To promote the local culture. B. To discourage phone use. C. To meet passengers’ needs. D. To reduce its running costs. 5. How are the stories categorized in the kiosk? A. By popularity. B. By length. C. By theme. D. By language. 6. What has Trost been doing recently? A. Organizing a story contest. B. Doing a survey of customers. C. Choosing a print publisher. D. Conducting interviews with artists. 7. What is Trost’s opinion about BART’s future? A. It will close down. B. Its profits will decline. C. It will expand nationwide. D. Its ridership will increase. 【答案】4. C 5. B 6. A 7. D 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。主要报道了旧金山湾区捷运系统(BART)推出自动售货亭提供短篇故事打印服务，旨在满足乘客阅读需求，提升出行体验，Trost认为此举措能吸引更多乘客，对BART未来持乐观态度，预期乘客量将会增长。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段““You enter the fare gates (检票口) and you’ll see a kiosk that is lit up and it tells you can get a one-minute, a three-minute, or a five-minute story,” says Alicia Trost, the chief communications officer for the San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit - known as BART. “You choose which length you want and it gives you a receipt-like short story.”(旧金山湾区捷运系统（BART）首席通讯官Alicia Trost表示：“你进入检票口，会看到一个亮着灯的信息亭，它告诉你可以得到一分钟、三分钟或五分钟的报道。你可以选择你想要的长度，它会给你一个类似收据的短篇故事。”)”可知，BART启动信息亭是为了满足乘客在乘车过程中的阅读需求，为他们提供不同长度的短篇故事或诗歌来打发时间。故选C项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“You choose which length you want and it gives you a receipt-like short story.(你可以选择你想要的长度，它会给你一个类似收据的短篇故事)”可知，信息亭中的故事按长度分类，乘客可以根据自己的需求选择不同长度的故事。故选B项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“We wanted to do something where we do a call to artists in the Bay Area to submit stories for a contest,(我们想做一些事情，呼吁湾区的艺术家为比赛提交故事)”以及第六段“The winning stories would go into our kiosk and then you would be a published artist.(获奖故事会进入我们的信息亭，然后你就会成为一名出版艺术家)”可知，Trost最近在组织一个故事竞赛，向湾区的艺术家征集故事，获胜作品将被放入售货亭供乘客阅读。故选A项。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段““At the end of the day all transit agencies right now are doing everything they can to improve the rider experience. So I absolutely think we will get more riders just because of short stories,” she says.(她说：“归根结底，所有的交通机构现在都在尽一切努力改善乘客体验。所以我绝对认为，我们会因为短篇小说而吸引更多的乘客。”)”可知，Trost认为通过提升乘客体验，包括提供短篇故事阅读服务，BART可以吸引更多的乘客，乘客量将会增加。故选D项。 Passage3 Passage4 Passage5 Passage6 2024年名校模拟题 Passage1 （2024·湖南怀化·一模）Due to the fact that the average life expectancy in Ghana is 64 years old, and the most common causes of death are largely treatable conditions, such as malaria, stroke, and respiratory infections. Boateng, growing up in a small village in southern Ghana/struggling to access basic health care, felt an urgent call to help and decided he would make it his life’s mission to bring health care to remote communities in Ghana. Boateng worked hard in school, getting a scholarship to study biology at Cornell University in the US, and ultimately earned his master’s in Healthcare Administration. Later he started his nonprofit, OKB Hope Foundation, and converted a van into a mobile doctor’s office called the Hope Health Van to bring health care directly to those in need in 2021. A few times a week, the mobile clinic and medical team travel long distances to remote communities in Ghana and provide free routine medical care. On each trip, Boateng’s team consists of a nurse, a physician’s assistant, a doctor, and an operation assistant. In the van, they can run basic labs like bloodwork and urinalysis as well as prescribe and provide medications. “It’s like a one-stop shop for people,” said Boateng, adding that most of the people they see have one health issue or another. Since its launch, Boateng says the Hope Health Van has served more than 4, 000 Ghanaians across more than 45 rural communities who otherwise don’t have easily accessible medical care. To supplement the mobile clinic, Boateng’s organization has also trained 20 volunteers to serve as local health advocates. They check people’s vitals and provide the medical team with timely data for assessing how to move forward with care and treatment, especially for those whose health is at risk. In the future, Boateng hopes to expand to provide more consistent and high-quality medical care not only to those living in remote areas of Ghana but in other countries as well. “I believe that our model can be replicated in sub-Saharan Africa,” he said. 4．What inspired Boateng to set his life goal? A．He wanted to get a scholarship. B．Many locals died of deadly diseases. C．The birthplace of him was small and poor. D．Basic health care was inaccessible for locals. 5．What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A．How Boateng’s team functions. B．Why Boateng’s team was founded. C．What Boateng’s team has achieved. D．Where Boateng’s team has travelled. 6．What is Boateng’s attitude to his team in the future? A．Ambiguous. B．Ambitious. C．Indifferent. D．Doubtful. 7．What is the best title for the text? A．A van bringing medical care to thousands B．A country lacking basic health care C．Efforts to provide people with medications D．Mobile vans travelling through Ghana 【答案】4．D 5．A 6．B 7．A 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章通过叙述Boateng的个人故事，展示了他如何致力于改善加纳偏远地区的基本医疗保健服务，并期望将这种模式复制到其他国家。 4．细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Boateng, growing up in a small village in southern Ghana/struggling to access basic health care, felt an urgent call to help and decided he would make it his life’s mission to bring health care to remote communities in Ghana.( Boateng在加纳南部的一个小村庄长大，很难获得基本的医疗保健，他感到迫切需要帮助，并决定把为加纳偏远社区提供医疗保健作为自己的一生使命。)”可知，Boateng在加纳南部的一个小村庄长大，很难获得基本的医疗保健，因此感到迫切需要帮助，所以Boateng决定把为加纳偏远社区提供医疗保健作为自己的一生使命。故选D。 5．主旨大意题。根据文章第三段内容“A few times a week, the mobile clinic and medical team travel long distances to remote communities in Ghana and provide free routine medical care. On each trip, Boateng’s team consists of a nurse, a physician’s assistant, a doctor, and an operation assistant. In the van, they can run basic labs like bloodwork and urinalysis as well as prescribe and provide medications. “It’s like a one-stop shop for people,” said Boateng, adding that most of the people they see have one health issue or another.(流动诊所和医疗队每周几次长途跋涉前往加纳的偏远社区，提供免费的常规医疗服务。每次旅行，Boateng的团队都由一名护士、一名医师助理、一名医生和一名手术助理组成。在这辆面包车里，他们可以进行血液检查和尿液分析等基本实验室，也可以开处方和提供药物。Boateng说：“这对人们来说就像一站式商店。”他补充说，他们看到的大多数人都有这样或那样的健康问题。)”可知，第三段主要讲述的Boateng团队的运作方式，如行医频率、团队组成和工作细则等。故选A。 6．推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“In the future, Boateng hopes to expand to provide more consistent and high-quality medical care not only to those living in remote areas of Ghana but in other countries as well. “I believe that our model can be replicated in sub-Saharan Africa,” he said.(未来，Boateng希望扩大规模，不仅为生活在加纳偏远地区的人们，也为其他国家的人们提供更加稳定和高质量的医疗服务。“我相信我们的模式可以在撒哈拉以南非洲复制，”他说。)”可知，Boateng希望未来不仅为生活在加纳偏远地区的人们，也为其他国家的人们提供更加稳定和高质量的医疗服务。由此可知，Boateng表达了他对自己团队的期望和愿景，他提到“我们有一个更大的愿景——将这种模式复制到非洲其他国家”。这表明他对团队的未来持有雄心勃勃的态度，希望他们能够在更广泛的范围内取得成功和产生影响。故选B。 7．主旨大意题。根据文章第二段“Boateng worked hard in school, getting a scholarship to study biology at Cornell University in the US, and ultimately earned his master’s in Healthcare Administration. Later he started his nonprofit, OKB Hope Foundation, and converted a van into a mobile doctor’s office called the Hope Health Van to bring health care directly to those in need in 2021.( Boateng在学校努力学习，获得了美国康奈尔大学生物学专业的奖学金，并最终获得了医疗管理硕士学位。后来，他创办了自己的非营利组织OKB希望基金会，并将一辆面包车改装成移动医生办公室，名为“Hope Health Van”，于2021年直接为有需要的人提供医疗服务。)”以及全文内容可知，文本主要讲述了Boateng通过他的非营利组织以及Hope Health Van来改善加纳偏远社区的医疗保健服务的努力。这辆车直接为有需要的人提供医疗服务，为加纳多个农村社区的超过4000人提供服务。因此，选项A“A van bringing medical care to thousands (一辆为数千人带来医疗服务的车)”准确地概括了文本的主要内容和重点。故选A。 Passage2 （2024·安徽合肥·三模）At the beginning of graduate school, I knew that if I wanted to get tenure (长期聘用), I had to be productive. However, when my first three papers were rejected by major journals, a leading expert told me my projects were hopeless, and I wondered if I should drop out. We all get rejected at work, whether it’s having our suggestions shot down or getting fired from a job. It causes pain. Neuroscientists (神经系统科学家) have scanned the brains of people who have cruelly been excluded from an online game. The physiological (生理学的) response looks fairly similar to processing physical pain. Apparently, this was adaptive in our evolutionary past. If rejection didn’t hurt, you might have been perfectly comfortable leaving your tribe, which would not be good for your survival. But it’s left us nervous and likely to overreact to everyday rejections. If you’ve ever given a presentation and felt upset by the one unfriendly face in a room full of smiles, you know what I mean. That’s the bad news. The good news is that we can learn to accept rejection calmly. “When you’re insecure in one, you rely on the other one that’s doing better at that time. Pliability (柔韧性) is the definition of strength,” said filmmaker M. Night Shyamalan. When my work got rejected early in my academic career, pliability became my source of strength. My identity as a researcher was under threat, but that wasn’t what had drawn me to graduate school in the first place. I had another, stronger identity: I wanted to be a teacher. However, I hadn’t had the chance: The first two years of my program were supposed to focus entirely on research. I realized that if I wanted to bounce back from the research rejections, I had to find a way to teach. I convinced an adviser to sign off on independent study projects for a group of students, and I started meeting with them weekly to teach my own little class. The conversations with the students gave rise to my first two major papers, which gave me a head start toward tenure. 4．What was the author’s reaction to the leading expert’s words? A．He took his advice. B．He felt discouraged. C．He paid no attention. D．He consulted another expert. 5．What have neuroscientists found out? A．Rejection really hurts. B．Rejection is important to survival. C．People tend to overreact to rejection. D．Physical pain grows because of rejection. 6．What does the author advise us to do when facing rejection? A．Find out the reasons behind it. B．Forgive those who reject us. C．Turn to our stronger identity. D．Learn a lesson from past failures. 7．What happened to the author at last? A．He left graduate school. B．He turned into a middle school teacher. C．He worked on practicing his physical pliability. D．He accomplished some research work successfully. 【答案】4．B 5．A 6．C 7．D 【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议，主要讨论的是个人在面对学术和职业上的拒绝时如何调整心态和寻找新的机会。 4．细节理解题。根据第一段“However, when my first three papers were rejected by major journals, a leading expert told me my projects were hopeless, and I wondered if I should drop out.(然而，当我的前三篇论文被主要期刊拒绝时，一位权威专家告诉我，我的项目没有希望了，我想知道我是否应该退学。)”可知，作者对权威专家的话的反应是感到灰心丧气。故选B。 5．细节理解题。根据第二段“Neuroscientists (神经系统科学家) have scanned the brains of people who have cruelly been excluded from an online game. The physiological (生理学的) response looks fairly similar to processing physical pain.(神经科学家扫描了被残忍地排除在网络游戏之外的人的大脑。生理反应看起来与处理生理疼痛非常相似。)”可知，神经学家发现了拒绝真的让人感到疼痛。故选A。 6．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“When my work got rejected early in my academic career, pliability became my source of strength.  My identity as a researcher was under threat, but that wasn’t what had drawn me to graduate school in the first place.  I had another, stronger identity: I wanted to be a teacher.(在我的学术生涯早期，当我的作品被拒绝时，柔韧性成了我力量的源泉。我作为一名研究员的身份受到了威胁，但这并不是吸引我进入研究生院的首要原因。我有另一个更强烈的身份：我想成为一名教师。)”可知，面对拒绝，作者建议我们转向我们更强大的身份。故选C。 7．细节理解题。根据最后一段“The conversations with the students gave rise to my first two major papers, which gave me a head start toward tenure.(与学生们的对话促成了我最初的两篇主要论文，这使我在获得终身教职方面有了一个良好的开端。)”可知，作者最后成功地完成了一些研究工作。故选D。 Passage3 （2024·浙江嘉兴·二模）I have always been proud of my handwriting, a skill I was taught in grade school. The teacher was teaching us the Palmer Penmanship Method, drilling into us the importance of forming big flowing lines when we wrote g’s and s’s as well as beautiful f’s that in my mind were like fairy tale princesses wearing fancy hats while extending their right foot. We were strictly prohibited from using block letters on our homework, as they lack the beauty. Now it becomes apparent that young people no longer learn cursive(草书). They type everything, mostly on their phones. Beautiful handwriting is a thing of the past. This has become a source of great sadness among traditionalists. But recently something happened that shook my faith in cursive. To my complete disbelief, not one but two of my close friends complained about the handwriting on my postcards. They were grateful for the beautiful postcards I regularly sent, but they said they honestly couldn't read a thing I had written. One friend went so far as to ask if I could use block letters next time so that she could understand what I was writing. Initially, I was angry. I had made the effort to cover an entire postcard with what I viewed as not just handwriting but calligraphy. But then I showed an English friend a postcard I'd just written, and he said that the only thing that was readily understandable was the letters “U. S. A．” The rest of it, he politely suggested, looked like “chicken scrawl”. Looking at the postcard dispassionately, I unwillingly admit that he has a point. All the m’s and n’s run together, and the l’s look like l’s. The a’s are indistinguishable from the q’s. So, from now on, I'm taking their advice and using block letters to communicate. In fact, I just now sent an old friend a postcard. But this time, I simply wrote—in big block letters: DEAR ALICE: HI. JOE. I hope she gets the message. 4．What do we know about the Palmer Penmanship Method? A．It is characterized by big flowing lines. B．It is rarely appreciated by traditionalists. C．It was not allowed in students'homework. D．It is viewed as a trend in handwriting styles. 5．What weakened the writer’s belief in cursive? A．The popularity of block letters in recent times. B．The younger generation’s disinterest in cursive. C．His friends’ failure to comprehend his postcards. D．His English friend's suggestion on postcard design. 6．Why did the writer switch to block letters for communication? A．To deliver his message clearly. B．To improve his handwriting skills. C．To win praise from his friends. D．To show his passion for calligraphy. 7．What is the text mainly about? A．The wide use of cursive. B．The sad decline of cursive. C．The value of preserving cursive. D．The technique of writing in cursive. 【答案】4．A 5．C 6．A 7．B 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者从小学时对自己的草书书法感到自豪，到意识到现代趋势使草书变得不那么实用和容易理解的历程。尽管作者的朋友们很欣赏草书的美丽，但看不懂他们手写的明信片，所以为了清晰起见，他决定改用印刷体。这一转变象征着一个更广泛的社会转变，从手写交流向打字交流转变，显示了传统美感与实际易读性之间的斗争。 4．细节理解题。根据第一段中“The teacher was teaching us the Palmer Penmanship Method, drilling into us the importance of forming big flowing lines when we wrote g’s and s’s as well as beautiful f’s that in my mind were like fairy tale princesses wearing fancy hats while extending their right foot.”（老师正在教我们帕尔默书法法，在我们写g和s以及美丽的f时，向我们灌输形成大而流畅的线条的重要性，在我的脑海中，f就像童话故事中的公主戴着华丽的帽子，同时伸出右脚）可知，帕尔默书法它的特点是线条大而流畅。故选A项。 5．细节理解题。根据第三段中“But recently something happened that shook my faith in cursive.  To my complete disbelief, not one but two of my close friends complained about the handwriting on my postcards. They were grateful for the beautiful postcards I regularly sent, but they said they honestly couldn't read a thing I had written.”（但最近发生的一件事动摇了我对草书的信心。让我完全难以置信的是，我的两个好朋友竟然抱怨我明信片上的字迹。他们很感激我定期寄给他们的漂亮明信片，但他们说他们真的看不懂我写的东西）可知，作者朋友们无法理解他的明信片削弱了作者对草书的信念。故选C项。 6．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Looking at the postcard dispassionately, I unwillingly admit that he has a point. All the m’s and n’s run together, and the l’s look like l’s. The a’s are indistinguishable from the q’s. So, from now on, I'm taking their advice and using block letters to communicate.”（冷静地看着明信片，我不情愿地承认他说得有道理。所有的m和n连在一起，l看起来像l。a和q是无法区分的。所以，从现在开始，我接受他们的建议，用大写字母交流）可知，作者改用大写字母来交流是为了清楚地传达他的信息。故选A项。 7．主旨大意题。根据文章大意以及第二段“Now it becomes apparent that young people no longer learn cursive. They type everything, mostly on their phones. Beautiful handwriting is a thing of the past. This has become a source of great sadness among traditionalists.”（现在很明显，年轻人不再学草书了。他们用手机打字。漂亮的书法是过去的事了。这已经成为传统主义者巨大悲伤的来源）可知，文章主要讲的是草书可悲的衰落。故选B项。 Passage4 （2024·河南南阳·模拟预测）The Music Educator Award, presented by the Recording Academy and Grammy Museum, recognizes those who have made a significant contribution to music education. This year it went to Annie Ray, a teacher at Annandale High School in Fairfax County, Virginia. She was honored for her efforts to make music accessible to all students, particularly those with disabilities. Ray attended the awards ceremony in Los Angeles, took photos with pop stars and brought home a $10,000 prize and matching grant (补助金) for her school’s music program. But she considers the award to be her students. Ray loved music and was regarded as a music talent at an early age. She was inspired by the diversity of the Annandale community, which she says represents over 60 countries. There are a lot of cultures that might typically clash (冲突), but they come together in this very beautiful harmony. So she created the Crescendo Orchestra (管弦乐队) for students with disabilities, as well as a parent orchestra that teaches nearly 200 caregivers a year to play the same instrument as their child. The orchestra is about much more than just making music, however. It gives students a chance to develop their cooperation skills and learn the art of improving something. “I really push my students to be bold, go out of their comfort zones, challenge themselves and become confident,” Ray said. “Meanwhile, they completely changed my educational approaches. I learn to teach them according to their own abilities and pace.” At the Grammys, what impressed her was that many famous performers agreed that a good music educator can change one’s life, which made her feel what she did was rewarding. But she faces some challenges. One is that not many people understand how much music educators’ work matters. Another challenge is resources. Her school desperately needs new instruments but lacks enough money. “It is a hard profession, but I never give up. There’s nothing else like it,” Ray said. 4．What motivated Ray to create the Crescendo Orchestra? A．The cultural diversity. B．Her talent for music. C．Her disabled students’ desire. D．The Annandale community’s advice. 5．What effect does Ray have on her students? A．They made greater musical achievements. B．They took comfort from life’s improvements. C．They became more cooperative and confident. D．They developed effective learning approaches. 6．What challenge is Ray facing now? A．Shortage of funds. B．Hardship of being a teacher. C．Lack of reward for work. D．Disapproval from music educators. 7．Which words can best describe Ray? A．Humorous and helpful. B．Modest and determined. C．Wise and adventurous. D．Demanding and ambitious. 【答案】4．A 5．C 6．A 7．B 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了荣获今年音乐教育家奖的高中教师Annie Ray在音乐教育上的贡献以及她给学生带来的影响。 4．细节理解题。根据第三段中的“She was inspired by the diversity of the Annandale community, which she says represents over 60 countries. There are a lot of cultures that might typically clash (冲突), but they come together in this very beautiful harmony. So she created the Crescendo Orchestra (管弦乐队) for students with disabilities, as well as a parent orchestra that teaches nearly 200 caregivers a year to play the same instrument as their child.(Annandale社区的多样性给了她灵感，她说该社区代表了60多个国家。有很多文化通常可能会发生冲突，但它们在这种非常美丽的和谐中走到了一起。因此，她为残疾学生创建了Crescendo管弦乐队，以及一个每年教近200名看护人与孩子演奏同一乐器的家长管弦乐队)”可知，Ray所在的社区融合了60多个国家的文化。通常不同的文化之间可能会发生冲突，但是它们融合在一起，就形成了美妙和谐的氛围。受此启发，Ray创建了Crescendo管弦乐队。由此可知，是文化多样性促使Ray创建了Crescendo管弦乐队。故选A。 5．细节理解题。根据第四段中的“It gives students a chance to develop their cooperation skills and learn the art of improving something.(它让学生有机会发展他们的合作技能，学习改进某些东西的艺术)”以及““I really push my students to be bold, go out of their comfort zones, challenge themselves and become confident,” Ray said.(雷说：“我真的鼓励我的学生大胆一点，走出他们的舒适区，挑战自己，变得自信。”)”可知，Ray给学生带来的影响是使他们变得更愿意合作、更自信。故选C。 6．细节理解题。根据第六段中的“Another challenge is resources. Her school desperately needs new instruments but lacks enough money.(另一个挑战是资源。她的学校急需新乐器，但资金不足)”可知，Ray的学校缺乏足够的资金来为学生购买乐器。故选A。 7．推理判断题。根据第二段中的“But she considers the award to be her students.(但她认为获奖者是她的学生)”可推断出，Ray为人谦虚；再根据最后一段中的““It is a hard profession, but I never give up. There’s nothing else like it,” Ray said.(Ray说：“这是一个艰难的职业，但我从未放弃。没有什么比这更好的了。”)”可知，即使Ray在教学中面临困境，她也不轻言放弃，由此可推断出，她意志力坚定。故选B。 Passage5 （2024·黑龙江吉林·模拟预测）It took an ill screech owl (鸣角鸮) to teach a scientist the value of up-close-and-personal study. In his Harvad talk, Carl Safina, an ecologist and author of Alfie and Me: What Owls Know, What Humans Believe, recalled that the chick was found dying in his backyard. Safina took it in and planned to nurse it back to health and then perform release. But the owlet's flight feathers didn't grow properly. Safina delayed the release. Over those extended months, Safina got to know Alfie in ways that moved and changed him. “An owl found me and then I was watching ‘an owl’,” he said. “It was no longer an owl after a while, it was ‘she’ because she had a history with me. This little owl, who was with me much longer than I thought she would be, became an individual to me by that history and all those interactions.” The bond with Alfie strengthened to the point that, when she was finally released, she created a territory with Safina's home at its center. Safina was able to spend hours each day observing her in the woods as she learned to take care of herself in the wild, met two mates, and raised chicks of her own. When he heard Alfie calling, Safina said, he'd call back and she'd land nearby. Their closeness allowed him to learn more things about screech owls. Field guides, for example, describe two known calls but he identified six, some of which you have to be quite close to hear. The relationship also opened a window for Safina onto personality differences between Alfie and her mates. When pointed out that his approach to Alfie—including the act of naming her—ran counter to widespread scientific practice, Safina said he wasn't concerned about violating (违反) convention, particularly if something interesting like individual personality differences among owls could be learned. The experience caused Safina to think more deeply about humankind's relationship with nature and the kind of personal connection he was able to feel with a wild individual. “What I learned from Alfie is that all sentient (有情感的) beings seek a feeling of well-being and freedom of movement,” Safina said. “That's a guide to what's right and what's wrong to me.” 4．What do we know about Alfie? A．She developed a close bond with Safina. B．She was a fictional character in Safina's book. C．She intentionally landed in Safina's backyard. D．She was dying because of the broken flight feathers. 5．What happened after Safina released Alfie? A．Alfie chose to stay with Safina at his home. B．They maintained a continous communication. C．Alfie met mates and raised chicks by herself. D．Safina kept his distance from her to prevent attachment. 6．What did Safina achieve in his study? A．Recording six different calls of the screech owl. B．Identifying different types of owls by their calls. C．Learning how to release owls back into the wild. D．Understanding personality differences among owls. 7．How did Safina's experience with Alfie impact him? A．He became more focused on exploring nature. B．He initiated his commitment to wildlife conservation. C．He developed a deep appreciation for the welfare of living creatures. D．He decided to guide readers to distinguish between right and wrong. 【答案】4．A 5．B 6．D 7．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了生态学家Carl Safina与一只名叫Alfie的鸣角鸮的故事，以及这段经历对他的影响。 4．细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Over those extended months, Safina got to know Alfie in ways that moved and changed him.”（在那些漫长的月份里，萨菲纳以一种感动并改变他的方式了解了阿尔菲。）根据第三段“This little owl, who was with me much longer than I thought she would be, became an individual to me by that history and all those interactions.”（这只小猫头鹰，它和我在一起的时间比我想象的要长得多，通过那段历史和所有这些互动，它成为了我的一部分）可知，Safina与Alfie建立了紧密的联系。故选A。 5．细节理解题。根据文章第五段“When he heard Alfie calling, Safina said, he'd call back and she'd land nearby.”（当他听到阿尔菲的叫声时，萨菲纳说，他会回应，她就会降落在附近。）可知，他们保持了持续的交流，故选B。 6．细节理解题。根据文章第五段“The relationship also opened a window for Safina onto personality differences between Alfie and her mates.”（这种关系也为萨菲纳打开了一个窗口，让他看到阿尔菲和她的伴侣之间的性格差异。）可知，Safina理解了猫头鹰之间的性格差异，故选D 7．推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“What I learned from Alfie is that all sentient beings seek a feeling of well-being and freedom of movement,” Safina said. “That's a guide to what's right and what's wrong to me.”（我从阿尔菲那里学到的是，所有有情感的生物都寻求幸福感和自由的移动，”萨菲纳说。“这对我来说是判断对错的指南。”）可知，Safina对生物的幸福产生了深深的欣赏，故选C。 Passage6 （2024·浙江绍兴·三模）Sandoval, who comes from Los Angeles, has traveled and filmed in over 50 countries across seven continents and now lives in China. “In 2008, tired of my studio work in the U.S, I came to China, thinking I would be here one or two years, but it has turned out to be 16 years!” he said. He hopes his photographs will inspire others to embark on adventures as well. Sandoval is a professional photographer and learned commercial photography at what was then the Brooks Institute of Photography. With the hope of trying something different for himself, he went to Chengdu in Southwest China to live in October 2008 and has traveled throughout the country since then. In the beginning, he did editorial work for magazines both in and outside Sichuan, such as Vogue. Then he worked with the Sichuan tourism department to produce travel brochures, and also on ad campaigns for destinations for corporate companies. To him, Chengdu is the capital of a laid-back lifestyle. He was delighted to see that residents, dressed stylishly or comfortably, strolled in the streets “as slowly as snails”. Almost a “walking encyclopedia” of Chengdu, Sandoval covered every corner of Chengdu and recorded Chengduese and their lives with his camera, listening to the sound of mahjong tiles being shuffled and music from traditional stringed instruments. He also goes from place to place with his heavy travel kit. The varied culture and vast, beautiful land has kept him in China much longer than he had planned in the beginning. He remembers a wide range of adventures like exploring a local vineyard and local wine in Yinchuan City, a riding performance by a Mongolian ethnic group in the Shuidonggou Horse Riding Show, and then the totally different experience of visiting the Hainan Free Trade Port in the south. He thinks he has done a lot in “this beautiful and vast country” with his “travel photos”. “I try to show people the beauty of where I go. I try to inspire them to travel and go to places. I’m hoping to do more international work,” he said. 4．Why did Sandoval come to China? A．He was not good at studio work. B．He wanted to step out of the comfort zone. C．He had a preference for international work. D．He was attracted by the picturesque nature of China. 5．What does the underlined word “laid-back” in Paragraph 4 refer to? A．Leisurely. B．Simple. C．Luxurious. D．Healthy. 6．Sandoval’s experiences around China are mentioned in Paragraph 5 to show _______. A．Sandoval’s diverse hobbies B．Sandoval’s desire for new careers C．Sandoval’s superb photo technique D．Sandoval’s fascination for Chinese culture 7．What is the writing purpose of this passage? A．To call on readers to take up photography. B．To praise Sandoval for spreading Chinese culture. C．To facilitate the development of tourism in Chengdu. D．To introduce the experience of a professional photographer. 【答案】4．B 5．A 6．D 7．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了专业摄影师Sandoval的故事，他来自洛杉矶，曾在全球50多个国家旅行和拍摄，后来为了寻求新的生活体验来到中国，原本计划只待一两年，却意外地在中国生活了16年，通过照片展示了中国的美丽，还记录下了成都人和他们的生活。 4．细节理解题。根据第二段中“With the hope of trying something different for himself, he went to Chengdu in Southwest China to live in October 2008 and has traveled throughout the country since then. (2008年10月，怀揣着尝试一些不同的东西的希望，他去了中国西南部的成都生活，从那时起，他就在全国各地旅行)”可知，Sandoval到中国来是因为他想走出自己的舒适区，尝试一些不同的东西。故选B项。 5．词句猜测题。根据画线词的下文“He was delighted to see that residents, dressed stylishly or comfortably, strolled in the streets “as slowly as snails”. (他很高兴看到居民们穿着时髦或舒适，在街上“像蜗牛一样慢”地散步)”可知，成都的居民们非常自如地在街上慢慢地散步。由此可知，当地的生活方式是悠闲的，画线词意思应该是“悠闲的，闲散的”，与Leisurely意思相近。故选A项。 6．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“The varied culture and vast, beautiful land has kept him in China much longer than he had planned in the beginning. He remembers a wide range of adventures like exploring a local vineyard and local wine in Yinchuan City, a riding performance by a Mongolian ethnic group in the Shuidonggou Horse Riding Show, and then the totally different experience of visiting the Hainan Free Trade Port in the south. (多样的文化和广袤美丽的土地使他在中国停留的时间比他最初计划的要长得多。他记得各种各样的冒险经历，比如在银川市探索当地的葡萄园和当地的葡萄酒，在水洞沟骑马表演中观看蒙古民族的骑马表演，然后参观南方海南自由贸易港的完全不同的体验)”可推知，这里提到了Sandoval在中国的经历，以显示他对中国文化的迷恋。故选D项。 7．推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中“Sandoval, who comes from Los Angeles, has traveled and filmed in over 50 countries across seven continents and now lives in China. (Sandoval来自洛杉矶，曾在七大洲的50多个国家旅行和拍摄，现在住在中国)”可知，文章讲述了专业摄影师Sandoval的故事。他来自洛杉矶，曾在全球50多个国家旅行和拍摄，后来为了寻求新的生活体验来到中国，原本计划只待一两年，却意外地在中国生活了16年，通过照片展示了中国的美丽，还记录下了成都人和他们的生活。因此，文章的目的应该是介绍一位专业摄影师的经历。故选D项。 Passage7 （2024·山东日照·模拟预测）Travelling seemed like falsehood to me. I grew tired of backpackers expressing too much praise about how petting a baby elephant in Thailand “transformed” them. Globe-traveling to me held no more promise than finding a few bills in the pocket of an old coat. I needed something deeper than an Eat, Play, Love moment. One day, Vasilis, my Greek best friend, reminded me of our decade-old promise: after our final exams, I would visit his hometown in Athens. Maybe, it was time to make good on that promise. I finally boarded the plane. Vasilis picked me up at the airport. I smiled, thinking how improbable this moment seemed all those years ago. The decade-long wait proved to be well worth it. Every step through the ancient streets revealed new wonders. However, none of them truly mattered. What would forever alter my perception of travel was a chance encounter with a local. Vasilis and I were wandering Athens when a special sound caught our attention — a rhythmic clinking disturbing the quietness of the residential street. Curiously, we followed the sound to a humble workshop. Inside, a welder (焊工) gave no mind to our presence behind him. He wore no flashy protective suit — this was just another day for him, another dance with fire and metal that had become second nature. Under the sunshade, his orange cat rested in the comforting warmth... As the man continued welding, I felt a bit of envy. I envied his peace and contentment. I admired the simplicity he embodied. I imagined the welder happy, finding fulfillment in his craft (手艺) and returning to his loving family...The moment moved me to tears. Leaving the workshop, rain blending with tears, I realized how easily life’s poetry could pass unnoticed. Home again in Montreal, I stop simply pursuing better things, better experiences and better people that are never grasped. I realize the real journey is inward — to appreciate life’s ordinary magic. That sure beats petting any baby elephant. I may not have returned home “transformed,” but I’ll always think of the welder and his cat. 4．Which aspect of travelling makes the author feel uneasy? A．Shortage of adequate funds. B．Discomfort in dietary habits. C．Overstatement of travel’s effects. D．Danger of petting baby animals. 5．What drove the author to go to Athens? A．Meeting a commitment. B．Exploring a unique landscape. C．Receiving further education. D．Escaping from the current life. 6．What does the underlined word “poetry” in paragraph 6 probably refer to? A．Poems written by masters. B．Peace and simplicity. C．Spirit of craftsmanship. D．Special sound in the street. 7．Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text? A．Friendship Lasts Forever B．Travelling Shapes a Better Self C．Pursuit of Happiness Never Stops D．The Ordinary Makes Extraordinary 【答案】4．C 5．A 6．B 7．D 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。本文讲述了作者对旅行的深刻反思，从最初对旅行改变人生的夸张说法感到厌倦，到在希腊雅典一次偶遇当地焊工的经历中，感悟到生活中平凡之美的诗意与满足，从而意识到真正的旅程是向内寻找，珍惜生活中的平凡奇迹。 4．推理判断题。由文章第一段中“Travelling seemed like falsehood to me. I grew tired of backpackers expressing too much praise about how petting a baby elephant in Thailand “transformed” them.(对我来说，旅行似乎是骗人的。我已经厌倦了背包客们对在泰国抚摸小象如何“改变”了他们的赞不绝口。)”可知，旅行影响的过度陈述让作者感到不安，觉得是骗人的。故选C。 5．细节理解题。由文章第二段中“One day, Vasilis, my Greek best friend, reminded me of our decade-old promise: after our final exams, I would visit his hometown in Athens.  Maybe, it was time to make good on that promise.(有一天，我最好的希腊朋友瓦西里斯让我想起了我们十年前的约定：期末考试结束后，我要去他的家乡雅典。也许，是时候兑现这个承诺了。)”可知，为了兑现履行承诺，作者去了雅典。故选A。 6．词句猜测题。由文章倒数第二段“As the man continued welding, I felt a bit of envy. I envied his peace and contentment. I admired the simplicity he embodied. I imagined the welder happy, finding fulfillment in his craft (手艺) and returning to his loving family...The moment moved me to tears. Leaving the workshop, rain blending with tears, I realized how easily life’s poetry could pass unnoticed.(当那个人继续焊接时，我感到有点嫉妒。我羡慕他的平静和满足。我钦佩他所体现的纯朴。我想象着焊工快乐，在他的手艺中找到满足，回到他爱的家庭……那一刻我感动得流下了眼泪。离开车间，雨中夹杂着泪水，我意识到生活的诗意是多么容易被忽视。)”可知，这里的“诗意”并非指具体的诗歌，而是指前文描述的焊工那种平和、满足的生活状态，以及他对工艺的热爱和简单生活的美好。故选B。 7．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是由文章最后一段“Home again in Montreal, I stop simply pursuing better things, better experiences and better people that are never grasped. I realize the real journey is inward — to appreciate life’s ordinary magic. That sure beats petting any baby elephant. I may not have returned home “transformed,” but I’ll always think of the welder and his cat.(回到蒙特利尔的家，我不再简单地追求更好的事物、更好的经历和更好的人，而这些都是永远无法抓住的。我意识到真正的旅程是内在的——去欣赏生活平凡的魔力。这可比抚摸小象强多了。我回家时也许没有“变了”，但我总会想起那个焊工和他的猫。)”可知，文章通过作者的旅行经历，特别是雅典之行中与当地焊工的邂逅，让作者领悟到了平凡生活中的不平凡之美，改变了对旅行意义的看法，因此最合适的标题是选项D. “The Ordinary Makes Extraordinary平凡造就非凡”，它贴切地反映了作者的心路历程和文章的核心思想。故选D。 Passage8 （2024·福建泉州·二模）When training for my first marathon, I treated myself to an expensive fitness watch that tracked my time, pace and splits. At the end of my final training run, I threw myself down on the floor the moment I got home, only to see my watch had failed me. Twenty-one miles briefly flashed on the screen before it went blank and disappeared forever. I screamed in pain. That tragic image of me crying on my living room floor pretty much sums up my relationship with exercise tracking technology. It can be a total joy to watch your data change as you get stronger and faster, but sometimes it became a stick for punishment. I would compare my pace with other people’s or criticize myself for not doing it 30 seconds faster. I never really recognized this as a problem. To me, tracking was the route to self-improvement, and the point was to be better. In the past year, “being better” has taken on a different meaning. My mental health dropped, and things like brushing my teeth became unimaginably difficult. Being better stopped meaning getting faster or stronger. It meant taking care of myself and feeling some joy. Once I started getting better, I reflected on what made me happy and what did not. So, I stopped tracking my runs and deleted all the data. I then found I genuinely love running. I run around my local park with a silly little smile. But I do not love running quickly. I do not like races. I do not want to be pushed to be faster. I now notice how my legs feel and how my mind feels afterwards — clear and focused. I notice the smell of the wild plants and the sunshine on my face. I am better. Sometimes I am worse. But either way I’m moving forward slowly and firmly, and that’s good enough. 4．The author cried after the final training run because she ________. A．had to stop working out B．became physically worn out C．lost the data on the watch D．felt a sharp pain in the legs 5．The author used to view exercise tracking as ________. A．a fun hobby for enjoyment B．a strong need for recognition C．a method of escaping punishment D．a way of being a better runner 6．What does “being better” mean to the author now? A．Getting pleasure out of winning races. B．Being more focused on her life goal. C．Freeing herself from demanding tasks. D．Improving her overall well-being. 7．What can we conclude from this passage? A．Adjustment brings happiness. B．Passion is the key to success. C．Sports contribute to happiness. D．Success equals self-improvement. 【答案】4．C 5．D 6．D 7．A 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者曾经执着于通过运动跟踪数据来让自己变得更好，但这也导致作者变得不再快乐，于是作者删除了手表上的运动数据，开始专注于跑步时的感受，如今作者感到更加快乐了。 4．细节理解题。根据第二段“At the end of my final training run, I threw myself down on the floor the moment I got home, only to see my watch had failed me. Twenty-one miles briefly flashed on the screen before it went blank and disappeared forever. I screamed in pain. That tragic image of me crying on my living room floor pretty much sums up my relationship with exercise tracking technology.(在我最后一次跑步训练结束时，我一回到家就扑倒在地，结果发现我的表坏了。21英里在屏幕上短暂地一闪而过，然后一片空白，永远地消失了。我痛苦地尖叫起来。我在客厅地板上哭泣的悲惨画面基本上概括了我与运动追踪技术的关系。)”可知，作者在最后一次训练后哭了，因为她丢失了手表上的数据。故选C。 5．细节理解题。根据第三段“It can be a total joy to watch your data change as you get stronger and faster, but sometimes it became a stick for punishment. I would compare my pace with other people’s or criticize myself for not doing it 30 seconds faster. I never really recognized this as a problem. To me, tracking was the route to self-improvement, and the point was to be better.(看着你的数据随着你变得越来越强、越来越快而改变，这可能是一种完全的快乐，但有时它会成为一种惩罚。我会拿自己的速度和别人比较，或者批评自己没有快30秒。我从未真正意识到这是个问题。对我来说，跟踪是自我提升的途径，关键是要变得更好。)”可知，作者曾将运动跟踪视为成为更好的跑步者的一种方式。故选D。 6．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“I now notice how my legs feel and how my mind feels afterwards -clear and focused. I notice the smell of the wild plants and the sunshine on my face.(现在我注意到我的腿是什么感觉，之后我的头脑是什么感觉——清晰而专注。我注意到野生植物的气味和照在脸上的阳光。)可知，“变得更好”现在对作者来说意味着改善她的整体幸福感。故选D。 7．推理判断题。通读全文，并根据第四段“In the past year, “being better” has taken on a different meaning. My mental health dropped, and things like brushing my teeth became unimaginably difficult. Being better stopped meaning getting faster or stronger. It meant taking care of myself and feeling some joy. Once I started getting better, I reflected on what made me happy and what did not. So, I stopped tracking my runs and deleted all the data.(在过去的一年里，‘变得更好’有了不同的含义。我的心理健康状况每况愈下，像刷牙这样的事情变得难以想象地困难。变得更好不再意味着变得更快或更强壮。它意味着照顾好自己，感受到一些快乐。当我开始变得更好时，我反思了是什么让我快乐，又是什么让我不快乐。所以，我不再记录我的跑步情况，并删除了所有的数据。)”可知，文章主要讲述了作者曾经执着于通过运动跟踪数据来让自己变得更好，但这也导致作者变得不再快乐，于是作者删除了手表上的运动数据，开始专注于跑步时的感受，如今作者感到更加快乐了。由此推知，我们可从文章得知调整带来快乐。故选A。 Passage9 （2024·山东·模拟预测）“It’s like riding a bike” is a common comment when you want to remind someone that it’s hard to forget a basic skill. But what if you don’t know how to ride a bike? This was something Annette Kruger, an avid (热衷的) cyclist, saw that was true for many women in Berlin, including refugees, who’d moved to there. Whether they weren’t allowed or didn’t have the opportunity to learn, these women had never experienced the health benefits and independence that cycling offers. That is why, seven years ago, Kruger started Bikeygees, a non-profit organization focused on teaching women to ride a bike. The group members gather for two hours for training sessions every week. Advanced riders can borrow bikes and helmets for free to practise on their own. The group also teaches women how to fix bikes, instilling (逐步培养) a sense of self-sufficiency, says Kruger. If they can do bike repairs, ride and learn the German rules of the road, they are awarded with a bike kit, including a bike, a helmet, a bike lock and bike tools. More than 500 bikes have been donated so far, and Kruger says the goal is to eventually provide all participants with their own bikes. To date, the group has taught more than 1,400 women and has met in more than 20 locations within Germany, including in emergency shelters. Participants have said that riding a bike allows them not only freedom of movement — some of the women use them to bring their children to school—but also hope for the future. Kruger says that she can see the impact that concentrating on a new skill has on the women. “We can’t replace what someone lost in their life, but we can offer something new. The success is measured in the smiles of the riders when they conquer another bike skill. She recalls one student in her 60s who continued to practice through a bitter winter.” She said, “This is a dream for me. I have been waiting my whole life to do this.” 4．What did the women in Berlin obtain from Bikeygees? A．Opportunities to learn German. B．Chances to move away from Berlin. C．Attention to their living conditions. D．Fitness and freedom to get around. 5．Which of the following best describes Annette Kruger? A．Industrious. B．Innocent. C．Ambitious. D．Careful. 6．What do we learn about the Bikeygees project? A．It has made large profits. B．It becomes increasingly popular. C．It offers more bikes than needed. D．It allows beginners to practise individually. 7．Which is a benefit for the participants from the last paragraph? A．A prospect of future life. B．A movement for women. C．The capacity to earn money. D．The freedom of their children. 【答案】4．D 5．C 6．B 7．A 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了自行车爱好者Annette Kruger创办非营利组织Bikeygees。她通过一系列举措帮助那些不会自行车的女性学会骑自行车，并从中找到对生活的热爱。 4．细节理解题。根据第二段“Whether they weren’t allowed or didn’t have the opportunity to learn, these women had never experienced the health benefits and independence that cycling offers.(无论是不被允许还是没有机会学习，这些女性都从未体验过骑自行车带来的健康益处和独立性)”以及第三段“That is why, seven years ago, Kruger started Bikeygees, a non-profit organization focused on teaching women to ride a bike.(这就是为什么克鲁格在七年前创办了一个非营利组织Bikeygees，专注于教女性骑自行车)”可知，女性能从Bikeygees中获得健康的身体和外出的自由。故选D。 5．推理判断题。根据第四段“More than 500 bikes have been donated so far, and Kruger says the goal is to eventually provide all participants with their own bikes.(到目前为止，已经捐赠了500多辆自行车，克鲁格说，他们的目标是最终为所有参与者提供自己的自行车)”可推知，Annette Kruger是一个志向远大的人。故选C。 6．推理判断题。根据第四段“To date, the group has taught more than 1,400 women and has met in more than 20 locations within Germany, including in emergency shelters.(到目前为止，该小组已经教了1400多名妇女，并在德国20多个地点举行了会议，包括在紧急避难所)”可推知，Bikeygees变得越来越受欢迎。故选B。 7．细节理解题。根据最后一段“Participants have said that riding a bike allows them not only freedom of movement—some of the women use them to bring their children to school—but also hope for the future.(参与者说，骑自行车不仅让她们行动自由——一些妇女骑着自行车送孩子上学——而且让她们对未来充满希望)”可知，学会骑自行车不仅让这些女性的出行变得方便，还能为参与者带来对未来生活的希望。故选A。 Passage10 （2024·河北·三模）Many biologists are drawn to ocean animals like sea turtles and whales. For me, the pale, blind creatures in the world’s darkest caves are more attractive. As an underwater cave ecologist, I find and name new species. I have described eight new species of sponges (海绵物种) so far, seven of which live only in caves. Sometimes I count the population of organisms to see how their numbers change over time. I also study how different species interact with one another and their environment. When I start diving with my team members, there’s natural light around us, but as we div e farther, it turns dark, and we switch on our lights and follow the cave line — a thin thread explorers leave behind for divers to find their way in and out of the cave. While some caves are just a few meters long, some stretch over 300 kilometers and could be deeper than 50 meters. Diving at this depth, you might fall in narcosis,a state where the brain feels like it’s on a high, similar to being drunk. We might run into trouble an hour or so away from the cave entrance. But the mysterious (神秘的) world we see inside is worth the risk. I remember diving into El Aerolito Cave on Cozumel Island in Mexico, where I recorded 101 species. My most exciting encounter to date has been with remipedes — poisonous wormlike creatures found only in underwater caves. It took me around 200 dives before I came face to face with about 15 of them hidden deep in the caves of Cozumel. These delicate ecosystems are rapidly changing due to water pollution, climate change, and construction activities. We might lose the many life forms in these deep, dark worlds before we can even begin to understand them. I’m determined to explore all I can while they still exist. I’m taking advanced diving lessons and learning new laboratory techniques so that I can go even deeper into understanding this environment. 1．What does the author mainly talk about in Paragraph 1? A．His job duties. B．His travel experiences. C．His wide-ranging interests. D．His concern over the environment. 2．What do cave explorers leave behind for the cave ecologists? A．The cave line. B．The head lights. C．The life supplies. D．The measuring tools. 3．What can be inferred about the author in El Aerolito Cave? A．He found polluted water. B．He made amazing discoveries. C．He defeated poisonous creatures. D．He got into trouble far from the entrance. 4．Which of the following can best describe the author? A．Honest and curious. B．Generous and humble. C．Brave and determined. D．Sympathetic and helpful. 【答案】1．A 2．A 3．B 4．C 【导语】这是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了作者作为一名水下洞穴生态学家的工作经历和他对洞穴生态系统的研究。 1．主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“As an underwater cave ecologist, I find and name new species. I have described eight new species of sponges (海绵物种) so far, seven of which live only in caves. Sometimes I count the population of organisms to see how their numbers change over time. I also study how different species interact with one another and their environment.”（作为一名水下洞穴生态学家，我发现并命名新物种。到目前为止，我已经描述了八种新的海绵物种，其中七种只生活在洞穴中。有时我会计算生物的数量，看看他们的数量随时间的变化。我还研究不同物种之间以及他们与环境的相互作用。）可知，作者在第一段主要讲述了他的工作职责。故选A。 2．细节理解题。根据文章第二段“we switch on our lights and follow the cave line — a thin thread explorers leave behind for divers to find their way in and out of the cave.”（我们打开灯，跟随洞穴线走——这是探险者留给潜水者的一条细线，让他们找到进出洞穴的路。）可知，洞穴探险者留下的是洞穴线。故选A。 3．推理判断题。根据文章第三段“I remember diving into El Aerolito Cave on Cozumel Island in Mexico, where I recorded 101 species. My most exciting encounter to date has been with remipedes — poisonous wormlike creatures found only in underwater caves. ”（我记得在墨西哥科苏梅尔岛的El Aerolito洞穴潜水，我在那里记录了101种物种。迄今为止，我最激动人心的遭遇是与浆足虫类——一种只在水下洞穴中发现的有毒蠕虫状生物。）可知，作者在El Aerolito洞穴做了惊人的发现。故选B。 4．推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“I’m determined to explore all I can while they still exist. I’m taking advanced diving lessons and learning new laboratory techniques so that I can go even deeper into understanding this environment.”（我决心在它们还存在的时候尽我所能去探索。我正在接受高级潜水课程，并学习新的实验室技术，以便我可以更深入地理解这个环境。）可知，身为水下洞穴生态学家的作者是勇敢和坚定的。故选C。 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！6 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
