In primary school, I learned to write using chalks. Writing seemed to be another form of drawing. I shaped individual letters into repeating lines, which were abstract forms, delightful but meaningless patterns. In secondary school, art was my favourite subject. Since I loved it so much I thought I was good at it. For the art O-level exam I had to present an oil painting. I found it difficult, but still hoped to pass. I failed, with a low grade. I’d been over-confident. Now I’d been declared talentless. But other channels of creativity stayed open: I went on writing poems and stories. Still, I went to exhibitions often. I continued my habitual drawing, which I now characterised as childish doodling (乱画). In my 30s, I made painter friends and learned new ways of looking at art. However, I couldn’t let myself have a go at actually doing it. Though these new friends were abstract painters using oil paints, or were printmakers or sculptors, I took oil painting as the taboo (禁忌) high form I wasn’t allowed to practice. One night, in my early 40s, I dreamed that a big woman in red approached me, handed me a bag of paints, and told me to start painting. The dream felt so authoritative that it shook me. It was a form of energy, giving me back something I’d lost. Accordingly, I started by experimenting with water colours. Finally, I bought some oil paints. Although I have enjoyed breaking my decades-long taboo about working with oil paints, I have discovered I now prefer chalks and ink. I let my line drawings turn into cartoons I send to friends. It all feels free and easy. Un-anxious. This time around, I can accept my limitations but keep going. Becoming a successful painter calls for being resolute. I realised I was always afraid of wanting too much. That dream reminded me that those fears and desires could encourage me to take risks and make experiments. 24. How did the author feel about the result of the art exam? A. Scared. B. Worried. C. Discouraged. D. Wronged. 25. In her 30s, the author _________. A. avoided oil painting practice B. sought for a painting career C. fancied abstract painting D. exhibited child paintings 26. Which word would best describe the author’s dream? A. Confusing. B. Empowering. C. Disturbing. D. Entertaining. 27. What can we learn from this passage? A. Actions speak louder than words. B. Hard work is the mother of success. C. Dreams are the reflections of realities. D. Creative activities involve being confident. 真题演练02（2023·北京·高考真题）Sitting in the garden for my friend’s birthday. I felt a buzz (振动) in my pocket. My heart raced when I saw the email sender’s name. The email started off: “Dear Mr Green, thank you for your interest” and “the review process took longer than expected.” It ended with “We are sorry to inform you…” and my vision blurred (模糊). The position—measuring soil quality in the Sahara Desert as part of an undergraduate research programme — had felt like the answer I had spent years looking for. I had put so much time and emotional energy into applying, and I thought the rejection meant the end of the road for my science career. So I was shocked when, not long after the email, Professor Mary Devon, who was running the programme, invited me to observe the work being done in her lab. I jumped at the chance, and a few weeks later I was equally shocked—and overjoyed—when she invited me to talk with her about potential projects I could pursue in her lab. What she proposed didn’t seem as exciting as the original project I had applied to, but I was going to give it my all. I found myself working with a robotics professor on techniques for collecting data from the desert remotely. That project, which I could complete from my sofa instead of in the burning heat of the desert, not only survived the lockdown but worked where traditional methods didn’t. In the end, I had a new scientific interest to pursue. When I applied to graduate school, I found three programmes promising to allow me to follow my desired research direction. And I applied with the same anxious excitement as before. When I was rejected from one that had seemed like a perfect fit, it was undoubtedly difficult. But this time I had the perspective (视角) to keep it from sending me into panic. It helped that in the end I was accepted into one of the other programmes I was also excited about. Rather than setting plans in stone, I’ve learned that sometimes I need to take the opportunities that are offered, even if they don’t sound perfect at the time, and make the most of them. 1. How did the author feel upon seeing the email sender’s name? A. Anxious. B. Angry. C. Surprised. D. Settled. 2. After talking with Professor Devon, the author decided to ________. A. criticise the review process B. stay longer in the Sahara Desert C. apply to the original project again D. put his heart and soul into the lab work 3. According to the author, the project with the robotics professor was ________. A. demanding B. inspiring C. misleading D. amusing 4. What can we learn from this passage? A. An invitation is a reputation. B. An innovation is a resolution. C. A rejection can be a redirection. D. A reflection can be a restriction. 真题演练03（2022·北京·高考真题）My name is Alice. Early last year, I was troubled by an anxiety that crippled ( 削弱 ) my ability to do anything. I felt like a storm cloud hung over me. For almost a year I struggled on, constantly staring at this wall that faced me. My perfectionist tendencies were the main root of this: I wanted to be perfect at whatever I did, which obviously in life is not possible, but it consumed me. One day, I attended a presentation by wildlife conservationist Grant Brown at my high school. His presentation not only awed and inspired me, but also helped emerge an inner desire to make a difference in the world. I joined a pre-presentation dinner with him and that smaller setting allowed me to slowly build up my courage to speak one-on-one with him—an idea that had seemed completely impossible. This first contact was where my story began. A month later, Brown invited me to attend the World Youth Wildlife Conference. Looking back, I now see that this would be the first in a series of timely opportunities that my old self would have let pass, but that this new and more confident Alice enthusiastically seized. Shortly after I received his invitation, applications to join the Youth for Nature and the Youth for Planet groups were sent around through my high school. I decided to commit to completing the applications, and soon I was a part of a growing global team of young people working to protect nature. Each of these new steps continued to grow my confidence. I am writing this just six months since my journey began and I’ve realised that my biggest obstacle ( 障碍 ) this whole time was myself. It was that voice in the back of my head telling me that one phrase that has stopped so many people from reaching their potential: I can’t. They say good things come to those who wait; I say: grab every opportunity with everything you have and be impatient. After all, nature does not require our patience, but our action. 5. What was the main cause for Alice’s anxiety? A. Her inability to act her age. B. Her habit of consumption. C. Her desire to be perfect. D. Her lack of inspiration. 6. How did Grant Brown’s presentation influence Alice? A. She decided to do something for nature. B. She tasted the sweetness of friendship. C. She learned about the harm of desire. D. She built up her courage to speak up. 7. The activities Alice joined in helped her to become more ________. A. intelligent B. confident C. innovative D. critical 8. What can we learn from this passage? A. Practice makes perfect. B. Patience is a cure of anxiety. C. Action is worry’s worst enemy. D. Everything comes to those who wait. 真题演练04（2021·北京·高考真题）I remember the day during our first week of class when we were informed about our semester（学期） project of volunteering at a non-profit organization. When the teacher introduced us to the different organizations that needed our help，my last choice was Operation Iraqi Children （OIC）. My first impression of the organization was that it was not going to make enough of a difference with the plans I had in mind. Then，an OIC representative gave us some details，which somewhat interested me. After doing some research， I believed that we could really do something for those kids. When I went online to the OIC website，I saw pictures of the Iraqi children. Their faces were so powerful in sending a message of their despair（绝望） and need that I joined this project without hesitation. We decided to collect as many school supplies as possible，and make them into kits——one kit，one child. The most rewarding day for our group was project day，when all the efforts we put into collecting the items finally came together. When I saw the various supplies we had collected，it hit me that every kit we were to build that day would eventually be in the hands of an Iraqi child. Over the past four months，I had never imagined how I would feel once our project was completed. While making the kits，I realized that I had lost sight of the true meaning behind it. I had only focused on the fact that it was another school project and one I wanted to get a good grade on. When the kits were completed，and ready to be sent overseas，the warm feeling I had was one I would never forget. In the beginning，I dared myself to make a difference in the life of another person. Now that our project is over，I realize that I have affected not only one life，but ten. With our efforts，ten young boys and girls will now be able to further their education. 9. How did the author feel about joining the OIC project in the beginning？ A. It would affect his/her initial plans. B. It would involve traveling overseas. C. It would not bring him/her a good grade. D. It would not live up to his/her expectations. 10. What mainly helped the author change his/her attitude toward the project？ A. Images of Iraqi children. B. Research by his/her classmates. C. A teacher's introduction. D. A representative's comments. 11. The author's OIC project group would help ten Iraqi children to________. . A. become OIC volunteers B. further their education C. study in foreign countries D. influence other children 12. What can we conclude from this passage？ A. One's potential cannot always be underrated. B. First impression cannot always be trusted. C. Actions speak louder than words. D. He who hesitates is lost. 真题演练05（2020·北京·高考真题）For the past five years, Paula Smith, a historian of science, has devoted herself to re-creating long-forgotten techniques. While doing research for her new book, she came across a 16th-century French manuscript（手稿）consisting of nearly 1,000 sets of instructions, covering subjects from tool making to finding the best sand. The author's intention remains as mysterious（神秘）as his name; he may have been simply taking notes for his own records. But Smith was struck mainly by the fact that she didn't truly grasp any of the skills the author described. "You simply can't get an understanding of that handwork by reading about it," she says. Though Smith did get her hands on the best sand, doing things the old-fashioned way isn't just about playing around with French mud. Reconstructing the work of the craftsmen（工匠）who lived centuries ago can reveal how they viewed the world, what objects filled their homes, and what went on in the workshops that produced them. It can even help solve present-day problems: In 2015, scientists discovered that a 10th-century English medicine for eve problems could kill a drug-resistant virus. The work has also brought insights for museums, Smith says. One must know how an object was made in order to preserve it. What's more, reconstructions might be the only way to know what treasures looked like before time wore them down. Scholars have seen this idea in practice with ancient Greek and Roman statues. These sculptures were painted a rainbow of striking colours. We can't appreciate these kinds of details without seeing works of art as they originally appeared-something Smith believes you can do only when you have a road map. Smith has put the manuscript's ideas into practice. Her final goal is to link the worlds of art and science back together: She believes that bringing the old recipes to life can help develop a kind of learning that highlights experimentation, teamwork, and problem solving. Back when science—then called “the new philosophy”—took shape, academics looked to craftsmen for help in understanding the natural world. Microscopes and telescopes were invented by way of artistic tinkering（修补）, as craftsmen experimented with glass to better bend light. If we can rediscover the values of hands-on experience and craftwork, Smith says, we can marry the best of our modern insights with the handiness of our ancestors. 13. How did Smith, feel after reading the French manuscript? A. Confused about the technical terms. B. Impressed with its detailed instructions. C. Discouraged by its complex structure. D. Shocked for her own lack of hand skills. 14. According to Smith, the reconstruction work is done mainly to _____________. A. restore old workshops B. understand the craftsmen C. improve visual effects D. inspire the philosophers 15. Why does the author mention museums? A. To reveal the beauty of ancient objects. B. To present the findings of old science. C. To highlight the importance of antiques. D. To emphasise the values of hand skills. 16. Which would be the best title for this passage? A. Craftsmen Set the Trends for Artists B. Craftsmanship Leads to New Theories C. Craftsmanship Makes Better Scientists D. Craftsmen Reshape the Future of Science 模拟专区：做好题才有好成绩！练速度，补漏洞，强信心！ （23-24高二下·北京丰台·期末）At an airport I overheard an old man and his daughter in their last moments together. They had announced her plane’s departure and standing near the door, he said to his daughter, “I love you, I wish you enough.” She said, “Daddy, our life together has been more than enough. Your love is all I ever needed. I wish you enough, too, Daddy. ” They kissed good-bye and she left. He walked over toward the window where I was seated. Standing there I could see he wanted and needed to cry. I tried not to intrude on his privacy, but he welcomed me in by asking, “Did you ever say good-bye to someone knowing it would be forever?” “Yes, I have,” I replied. Saying that brought back memories I had of expressing my love and appreciation for all my Dad had done for me. Recognizing that his days were limited, I took the time to tell him face to face how much he meant to me. So I knew what this man was experiencing. “Forgive me for asking, but why is this a forever good-bye?” I asked. “I am old and she lives much too far away. I have challenges ahead and the reality is, her next trip back will be for my funeral,” he said. “When you were saying good-bye I heard you say, ‘I wish you enough. ‘May I ask what that means?” He began to smile. “That’s a wish that has been handed down from other generations. My parents used to say it to everyone. ”He paused for a moment and looking up as if trying to remember it in detail, he smiled even more. “When we said ‘I wish you enough’, we were wanting the other person to have a life filled with enough good things to sustain them, ”he continued and then turning toward me, he shared the following as if he were reciting it from memory. “I wish you enough sun to keep your attitude bright. I wish you enough rain to appreciate the sun more. I wish you enough happiness to keep your spirit alive. I wish you enough pain so that the smallest joys in life appear much bigger. I wish you enough gain to satisfy your wanting. I wish you enough loss to appreciate all that you possess. I wish enough ‘Hellos’ to get you through the final ‘Good-bye’. ” 1．The old man want to cry because _______ A．he was guilty for not loving his daughter enough B．his daughter didn’t care about him as expected C．he had a slim chance to see his daughter again D．his daughter’s parting words made him sad 2．The author mentioned his Dad to show________ A．his appreciation for his father’s devotion B．his sorrow for his father leaving the world C．his understanding of the old man’s feeling D．his concern for the old man’s mental state 3．What message does the old man’s wish convey?

He had already had his first show at a local arts centre. Yet he wanted more-specifically to start showing his work in a juried exhibition, where art experts would evaluate and select pieces in a competitive review process. That’s when he hit a barrier, discovering in the very last line of a multi-page application that the minimum age for submission was 18. That rejection became a driver for creation. “There was a gap in the art world, and I thought it’d be really cool if I could provide the opportunity to more young artists,” says Alex, now 15. With the support of his parents, Alex rented a storefront and founded Little EGG Gallery, a commercial studio only for underage artists. The gallery charges a small hanging fee for any displayed work and takes a 15 percent commission fee on sales. In turn, Little EGG helps promote young talent by showcasing their work. Not long after the opening, Henry Cameron, a professor and artist, happened upon the gallery while walking in his neighbourhood. An exhibition was being installed at the time, and some of Alex’s own work was on the walls. A connection was formed, and Alex asked Henry to help judge an upcoming competition. The first juried show was last spring, and the top three winners each received a $50 cash prize. Given how busy Alex is with school, life and his own art, Little EGG is mostly open by appointment only, but he’s still devoted to growing the gallery with seasonal and themed shows scheduled a few times a year. Leo Smith, a 17-year-old artist from Toronto says it’s about time that a venue like Little EGG existed. “As young artists, we don’t get as much credit as I think we’re due, and we also don’t get many opportunities to showcase the amount of work we put into the art.” 5．What happened when Alex was 13? A．He was rejected by a juried exhibition. B．He missed the deadline for submission. C．He had his first show at a local art club. D．He became a working artist successfully. 6．What do we know about Little EGG? A．It is free of charge. B．It is open on weekdays. C．It is aimed at young talents. D．It holds competitions regularly. 7．Which of the following words can best describe Alex? A．Ambitious and creative. B．Loyal and determined. C．Modest and sympathetic. D．Honest and hard-working. 8．What can we learn from the story? A．Art connects people worldwide. B．One good turn deserves another. C．Failures can drive positive change. D．Chance favours the prepared mind. （23-24高二下·北京昌平·期末）James Gailey has already retired. At 80 years old, he was enjoying time in the North Texas community of Callisburg. It’s a small town, with a population of about 300 people. The local school district has two campuses, and supports over 1,100 students in the rural area. Although Gailey had no intention of returning to the workforce, he had no choice when his monthly rent was raised by $400. Since he couldn’t afford that cost, “Mr. James,” as the students call him, went back to the local school and restarted working as a school janitor. Three students decided that they could do something about this situation. Greyson Thurman, Banner Tidwell, and Marti Yusko created a GoFundMe web page and shared his story on TikTok. “No 80-year-old should have to work because they have to,” said Tidwell, “It should be because they want to do it. It bothered us that he had to have a place to work to keep his house.” When the students started the campaign, their goal was to get Mr. James some extra money to help with his rent issues. The page was disabled only two weeks later, raising an impressive $270,000. “It’s amazing,” said Jason Hooper, the principal of Callisburg High School. “The need was met because of three kind kids—of all our students who offered help.” Many of the donations to the GoFundMe page are from students and staff at Callisburg, with most of them only $5 or $10 each. “It is crazy to see something like that. We knew people would have wanted to help,” said Yusko, “We didn’t know it would blow up.” At the time of researching and writing this story, Mr. James said that he was ready to return to retirement. “It’s what we’re about,” Hooper said, “We’re a small town. We’re family. We don’t always agree, but we love and help our own.” 9．James Gailey returned to work mainly because of ________. A．his difficulty in paying his rent B．his boredom of the retiring life C．his desire to continue his career D．his ambition to improve himself 10．What did the three kids do for James Gailey? A．Finding him a job at campus B．Giving him support for work. C．Raising money on the website. D．Turning to the school principle. 11．How did Yusko feel after the campaign ? A．Doubtful. B．Astonished. C．Regretful. D．Confused. 12．What can we learn from the story? A．It’s never too late to learn. B．A good turn deserves another. C．Chance favors the prepared mind. D．A small act can make a difference. （23-24高二下·北京朝阳·期末）It turns out patience isn’t always a virtue. By the time Nalin Kamat was 13, the Toronto teen had been well on his way to becoming a working artist. He had already had his first show at a local arts centre. Yet he wanted more — specifically to start showing his works in a juried exhibition, where art experts would evaluate and select pieces in a competitive review process, ensuring that only the most outstanding works are included in the exhibition. That’s when he ran into a problem, discovering in the very last line of a multi-page application that the minimum age for submission was 18. That rejection became a fuel for creation. “As young artists, we don’t get as much credit as I think we deserve, and we also don’t get many opportunities to showcase the amount of work we put into the art. I thought it’d be really cool if I could provide the opportunity for more young artists,” says Nalin, now 15. With the support of his parents, in January 2023, Nalin founded Little EGG Gallery, a commercial studio only for underage artists. The gallery, which is now profitable enough, charges a small fee for any displayed work and takes a 15 percent service fee on sales. In turn, Little EGG Gallery helps promote young talents by showcasing their works. Not long after opening, David Griffin, a professor and artist from Ontario College of Art and Design University, happened to come across the gallery while walking with his wife in their neighbourhood. Upon meeting Nalin, Griffin says he understood that he was speaking with someone special, “a strong young artist with a really excellent idea, which was to create a space for showing the local community the easy, natural genius of young people.” A connection was formed, and Nalin asked Griffin to help judge an upcoming competition. The first juried show was last spring, and the top three winners each received a $50 cash prize. Five-year-old Jack Gamble won for his abstract painting titled Pokemon. Given how busy Nalin is with school life and his own art, Little EGG Gallery is mostly open by appointment only, but he’s still devoted to growing the gallery with seasonal and themed shows scheduled a few times a year. Nalin believes that young artists are free to be more creative. In an interview with CBC Kids News, he said, “I think when you’re younger, you have more creativity. You see beauty in more things and when you get older, it kind of stops. I don’t want to see anyone prevented from creating their art. 13．According to the passage, the juried exhibition ______. A．favours works of art experts B．charges a small fee for entries C．sets no age limit for submission D．displays professionally selected works 14．How did Nalin Kamat feel after being rejected? A．Anxious. B．Motivated. C．Regretful. D．Confused. 15．Why did Nalin Kamat found Little EGG Gallery? A．To work with other young artists. B．To meet his parents’ expectations. C．To offer underage artists a platform. D．To hold an exhibition of his own works. 16．What can we learn from Nalin Kamat’s story? A．Wisdom arises from experience. B．Everything comes to those who wait. C．Luck matters to one’s career success. D．Innovative thoughts increase one’s chances. （23-24高二下·北京西城·期末）In 2014, a year into her retirement, Morag Warrack found herself in a village hall in the Surrey hills, surrounded by middle-aged men throwing each other on to the floor. “When entering the classroom, I was terrified and thought all these men would be shocked by an old woman walking in,” she says. “The teacher encouraged me to stay and I realized they were all kind and curious about me being there. That was my first experience of learning aikido.” At 59, Warrack, who had recently handed in her resignation, began reading up on mindfulness practices. “The more I looked into mindfulness, the more aikido kept coming up,” she says. “These books were recommending it as a way to connect the mind, body and spirit.” Attracted by the idea, Warrack found a local class where she could take a beginners’ session. Despite her struggles, Warrack kept returning. While her husband and two children were supportive, they weren’t tempted to join in. “They just thought: Mum’s off on one again,” she says. Warrack carried on and, after two years of practice, she began moving up the graded system of belt rankings and noticing a change in herself. “Aikido was making me way more confident,” she says, “Since my reactions got quicker, my balance was better and my coordination (协调性) improved, I had a real understanding of my own body and it became a metaphor (比喻) for how to be in life; how to avoid attack without hurting the other person.” By January 2019, Warrack was determined to achieve her black belt and began training with the only other person in her class who was at the same level as her: a 181cm police officer. “It was a very odd pairing. Not least because he’s so strong and so I had to learn how to use my skills rather than strength against him,” she says. In December 2021, Warrack, at the age of 66, took her black belt test. For 20 minutes, she had to defend her position against attackers one after another before facing the final randori, where four people attack at once. “One guy kicked me and split my lip,” she laughs. “It made me so angry, but that’s what I needed to keep going.” She passed, making her one of the oldest people to achieve an aikido black belt in the UK. 17．How did Morag Warrack feel when she first entered the aikido classroom? A．Curious. B．Disappointed. C．Confident. D．Frightened. 18．After two years of practice, Warrack ________. A．grew more patient B．turned into a better self C．realized her full potential D．became aware of her weakness 19．In order to achieve her black belt, Warrack had to ________. A．polish her skills further B．improve her coordination C．avoid hurting the attackers D．seek support from her family 20．What can we learn from this passage? A．With age comes wisdom. B．The greatest wealth is health. C．It’s always a good time to learn. D．Compete with honor and win with grace. （2024·北京朝阳·一模）My birth was a little more dramatic than the standard way a baby enters the world. I was born missing my left hand. Indeed, my limb (手臂) difference could have been a disaster if it hadn’t been for what happened next. A nurse placed me in my mother’s arms and instructed, “You will take her home. You will love her and treat her as normal.” That is exactly what happened. I played sports, acted in theater, excelled in school and had playdates with friends. While I did get some stares and “polite” questions about my disability, I was lucky because I wasn’t made fun of for it. However, that fact that I was different hit me hard my first day of high school. I was 13, an age when kids are already very self-conscious and the need to fit in is intensified. I remember one of the other kids on the school bus stared just a little too long at my left arm. I felt a sudden urge to hide my hand, so I slipped it into my pocket. I told myself that I’d just hide it that one day, while I was trying to make friends. But one day of hiding turned into a week, a month, and years — 25 of them to be exact. When I was 38 years old, tired of hiding and lonely, I met someone special and invited him in. The combination of me finally feeling ready to unhide and his willingness to go through the unhiding process with me was exactly what I needed. For the first time in my life, I allowed someone to really hold my limb, look at it, touch it, love it — love me. I saw my limb difference as something unique about me, something that should be shown, not hidden. It was a transformational experience, and I learned to love me too. It changed how I lived my entire life and made me happier. I also discovered and joined the Lucky Fin Project, an organisation devoted to people with all types of disabilities.

She hated having to adjust to new schools and make new friends. That’s why I thought she was joking when she put forward the idea of moving. But she was completely serious. “For just the two of us,” my mother said, “an apartment in the city will suit our needs much better.” Personally, I think she’s lost her mind. I guess I can understand why she would want to move, but what about me and what this house means to me? I suppose if you looked at my house, you might think it was just another country house. But to me it is anything but standard. I moved into this house with my parents ten years ago. I can still remember that first day like it was yesterday. The first thing I noticed was the big front yard. To me it seemed like an ocean of grass — I couldn’t wait to dive in. The backyard was full of gnarled (扭曲的，粗糙的) and scary trees that talk on windy nights. But I grew to like them and the shadows they cast in my room. My father and I even built a small treehouse, where I often go to remember all the wonderful times we had before my father’s death. This house is special — maybe only to me — but special nevertheless. It’s the little seemingly insignificant things that make this house so special to me: the ice-cold tile floors that make me tremble on midnight; the smell of my father’s pipe that still exists: the towering bookcases of my mother; the view outside my bedroom window. This house holds too many memories, memories which would be lost if we gave it up. 25．Why did the author’s mother decide to move? A．Because she hated the countryside. B．Because Grandpa was on constant move. C．Because Dad’s death made her lose her mind. D．Because she thought a city flat more fit for them. 26．What impressed the author when she first moved into the house? A．The treehouse. B．The green grass. C．The big trees. D．The cold floors. 27．How did the author let us feel that the house was special to her? A．By arguing whether the house was standard. B．By explaining why the house suited their needs. C．By describing the small things related to her house. D．By comparing the differences between country and city life. （23-24高二上·北京西城·期末） When I was an undergraduate student studying ecology, I was used to discovering overall trends in large amounts of data. The thought of getting my hands dirty in the field never seemed interesting to me. I saw it as a boring and repetitive task. But I knew potential graduate schools would likely view my lack of field experience as a hole in my application letter. My mother also thought I should work for a few years to explore my interests before pursuing further education. So  I decided to apply for field-based summer positions after graduation. After landing a job assessing the sage grouse habitat in Utah, I found myself in the company of Sherel, a 75-year-old botanist and the leader of our field crew. On the very first day of the fieldwork, I noticed a special plant on the field. “Wonderful! Looks like you’ve got a Mahonia repens,” Sherel shouted excitedly. I gently touched the plant with yellow flowers by my feet, “This one here? How can you tell it’s a Mahonia?” He paused briefly to admire the plant and then began his energetic description of the plant’s typical features. That evening, while we were watching the sunset together, I texted my childhood friend. “Day I was actually kind of fun,” I started, “but we’ll see how long it takes before I get bored from just identifying plants in the field all day.” But as the weeks of fieldwork rolled by, the boredom I had expected never arrived. I came home from the field each night with sore legs and a sunburned neck, excited by the day’s finds. By picking Sherel’s brain about different species of animals and plants, I discovered field days are about much more than identification. Each day is an opportunity to learn a little bit more. When the summer was over, I found myself in another field job, this time surveying forest in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. I’m now a third-year Ph. D．student in ecology. Fieldwork may be buggy, wet, and physically demanding, but working with others helps keep spirits high and the physical activity helps me stay sharp. And it constantly reminds me that any task can present an opportunity to learn — as long as I am open to it. 28．Why did the author join the fieldwork in Utah? A．To find out overall trends in data. B．To assess the sage grouse habitat. C．To improve his application letter. D．To realize his mother’s dream. 29．On the first day of the fieldwork in Utah, the author ______. A．argued with Sherel B．complained to his friend C．became a leader of his group D．discovered a Mahonia repens 30．What does the author think of fieldwork now? A．Easy but interesting. B．Boring but fruitful. C．Tiring but meaningful. D．Repetitive but demanding. 31．What can we learn from the passage? A．We should explore fun in daily tasks. B．We should be open to new experiences. C．We should respect the people around us. D．We should be determined about our goals. （23-24高二上·北京顺义·期末）“The living environment in China is perfect for me, and I feel right at home even though my Chinese isn’t fluent. It’s not a difficult task to come to China without fluent Chinese. You can enjoy yourself here.” Since I left Japan, I started my journey in China. These have been my first thoughts on my time here in China. In February 2022, I began learning Chinese. Almost a year later, I found myself in Beijing, the capital of China. Before coming here, I had attended Chinese classes, and I could sense my progress in the language. As you might expect, studying for just one year wasn’t enough to say I was fluent in Chinese, and to be honest, I’m not there yet. But full skills in the language are not necessary to enjoy many attractions of life in China. The one thing that truly makes me feel comfortable and less lonely is making friends and joining in conversations. At Tsinghua University, where I studied in China, I made friends with many Chinese young people and enjoyed spending time with them for meals and other activities. They would often ask me to hang out together and go to KTV, which was a popular form among Chinese youth. During breaks from study, I often started travelling across China. I’ve visited cities like Shanghai, Chongqing and Changsha. Although I have experienced travelling on overnight trains for over 12 hours several times and visited unfamiliar cities, I never feel fearful or unwelcome as a foreigner. Chinese people are warm and welcoming to foreigners, and eager to join in conversations. I once joined in community activities in Northwest China’s Gansu province to gain a deeper understanding of China’s countryside areas and help the development of local communities and education. As a volunteer teacher at a local school, I shared traditional Japanese culture such as pop music and languages with the students. Since Japanese language came from Chinese, they are similar somehow. I told the students we could see the connections between our cultures through our daily language use. If you want to understand and experience the life in China, you’ll find a way to do so. I hope that many foreigners who may not speak Chinese fluently can still enjoy themselves here, just as I have. 32．How did the writer feel about living in China without fluent Chinese? A．Challenged. B．Bored. C．Nervous. D．Easy. 33．What mainly helped the writer get used to the life in China? A．Speaking fluent Chinese. B．Studying in a Chinese university. C．Having talks with Chinese friends. D．Getting to know many Chinese places. 34．The author joined in community activities in Gansu to ______. A．gain a deeper understanding of China’s city areas B．share traditional Japanese culture to the local people C．find out the differences between Japanese and Chinese D．help the development of local communities and education 35．According to the passage, which word can best describe the writer? A．Active. B．Funny. C．Humorous. D．Honest. 36．What can we learn from this passage? A．Japanese language didn’t come from Chinese. B．We may all feel fearful when visiting new cities. C．Language may not be a big problem when living in China. D．Hanging out to a KTV is necessary when visiting a new place. （23-24高二上·北京昌平·期末）Running with Heart My name was missing from the list. All my friends had made the cheer-leading team. But somehow my name was not there. I felt lost and embarrassed. Knowing that next year would bring a new round of try-outs, I began practicing routines on my own, hoping to become a cheerleader the next year. But my dad suggested that I get involved in running track — just to try it out for a year. I had always been the fastest kid to run a mile in gym class, so I figured that I might as well sign up for running for just one season. I had no idea what I was getting myself into. In the first race on the track team, I took the last place. Race after race, I continued to place last and I felt my lungs burning from the effort. I wanted to quit, feeling like a failure. But my dad reminded me that once you are committed to something, you should always follow through. So I finished my first track season, placing last in every race. The next year came. Although running was not a popular activity, like cheer-leading was at our school, I signed up again to run the long-distance races. I wanted to challenge myself. Within one year, I became the fastest female cross-country runner on our school’s team. A few years later, I placed 3rd in the Ohio State meet. Not only that, but I was offered an athletic scholarship for college. Classmates may have laughed at me for choosing running over cheer-leading, but I didn’t care. I wasn’t running track to be cool or to prove anything to anyone else. Running made me proud of who I was. When I chose to be a runner, I chose to be true to myself. We all make that choice every day — we can be who we were born to be or we can simply follow the crowd. For me, I am happiest to be...just me. 37．After failing to make the cheer-leading team, the author ________. A．wanted to quit B．blamed her father C．turned to her friends D．continued to practice 38．The author managed to finish her first track season mainly because she ________. A．wanted to prove herself B．was inspired by her father C．got an athletic scholarship D．performed well in the races 39．Which of the following words can best describe the author? A．Confident and honest. B．Creative and ambitious. C．Generous and committed. D．Hardworking and determined. 40．In the passage, the author mainly wants to show that we should ________. A．follow others’ opinions B．try out for popular activities C．appreciate who we really are D．help those who are in trouble （23-24高二上·北京朝阳·期末）My Day of No Plastic Since its invention, plastic has affected every aspect of our lives. It has made possible thousands of conveniences, but it has come with downsides, especially for the environment. In a 24-hour experiment, I tried to live without it to see what plastic stuff we can’t do without and what we may be able to give up. At the start of my no-plastic day, I made my way toward the bathroom, only to stop myself before I went in. “Could you open the door for me?” I asked my wife. “The handle is plastic.” She opened it for me, letting out a “this is going to be a long day” sigh (叹气). My morning routine was a headache. I couldn’t use my toothpaste, toothbrush, shampoo or soap, all of which were made of plastic or put in plastic containers. Getting dressed was also a challenge, given that so many clothing items include plastic. When I went out, I brought along two glass containers and cloth bags of various sizes. I walked to a sandwich shop. “Can you make the salad in this glass container?” I asked. The manager said OK but then rejected my request to use my steel spoon. After lunch, I took the subway to Central Park, which scored me more violations (违规), since I need a MetroCard and the trains themselves have plastic parts. But at least I didn’t sit in one of those plastic seats. Back home, I recorded some of my impressions. By my count, on my day of no plastic, I had made 164 violations. I felt defeated. And also uncertain. The next day I called Gabby Salazar, a scientist who studies what motivates people to support environmental causes, and asked her for advice. “You can drive yourself crazy,” she said, “but it’s not about perfection. It’s about progress.” Believe it or not, individual behavior matters. It adds up. “Remember,” she continued, “it’s not about plastic being the enemy. It’s about single-use as the enemy.” I promised to try, even after my not successful attempt. I’ll start with small things, building up habits. I can take cloth bags to the grocery. I might start packing my glass water bottle and steel spoon. And from there, who knows? 41．The author conducted the 24-hour experiment because ________. A．he was tired of using plastic stuff in his daily life B．he tried to call upon people to ban plastic products C．he wondered how much plastic he consumed each day D．he wanted to figure out how to use plastic stuff wisely 42．Why did the author’s wife sigh? A．Because she didn’t know his intention. B．Because she worried about her husband. C．Because she thought it hard to avoid using plastic. D．Because she didn’t realize the downsides of plastic. 43．How did the author feel after the no-plastic day? A．Astonished. B．Discouraged. C．Relieved. D．Guilty. 44．How would the author deal with plastic in the future? A．Continue the plastic-free experiment. B．Give up the attempt at using less plastic. C．Reduce plastic use through small actions. D．Encourage people to be environmentalists. （2024·北京朝阳·二模）When I was nine, my best friend nearly choked to death on a gobstopper, a type of hard candy. After several attempts, she coughed up the candy. I haven’t had a gobstopper since and I have carried with me a fear of seeing that scene again. Sadly, as I discovered this week, lightning can strike twice. I was getting off a tube train in London when I noticed a woman coughing. I slowed down, watching her carefully. I had learned that coughing is rarely a sign that something is terribly wrong. Suddenly, the woman stopped coughing, her eyes widened and she bent over. When I went over to ask if she was OK, she looked up at me, panicked, and pointed to her back. I started hitting her back and screaming for help. Despite having watched a few videos, I was terrified that I wouldn’t be able to correctly perform the Heimlich, a first-aid method, and that I would have to walk away with guilt for her death. But it was just the two of us, alone at an underground station; if I didn’t try to help, no one would. Thankfully, much like with my friend, after a few sharp hits, whatever had been stuck in her throat came loose. She thanked me, almost embarrassed, and walked up to the lift. I followed behind her, shaking, with tears in my eyes. By the time we reached the lift, we had both calmed down. She took my hands and thanked me again, before disappearing. She might have been fine without my hurried hits on her back — I may not have actually saved her life — but at least she knew that someone, a stranger whom she would never see again, cared. This experience also taught me about the bystander effect, where people assume others assumed to be available during an emergency, direct help from others is far less likely to will help, leading to inaction. I get it: the fear of making things worse, especially if you have no medical training, is real. Research suggests that when a “medically competent” person is assumed to be available during an emergency, direct help from others is far less likely to occur. Sometimes, though, regardless of who else could be nearby, it may be useful to get involved. So it was with the coughing woman on the tube. 45．How did the friend’s choking incident affect the author? A．She lived with a sense of guilt. B．She realized the importance of first aid. C．She developed a fear of witnessing similar events. D．She deepened her understanding of the bystander effect. 46．What did the author do to help the woman on the tube? A．She relieved the woman’s coughing. B．She walked the woman up to the lift. C．She found a “medically competent” person for her. D．She performed first aid by hitting the woman’s back. 47．Which situation can be described as the bystander effect? A．You volunteered to help an old man carrying a heavy bag. B．You asked your brother who is a doctor to save a dying woman. C．You avoided involvement when seeing an injured lady on the road. D．You walked away after the rescue men asked you to leave the scene. 48．What can we learn from this passage? A．A good tun deserves another. B．Every cloud has a silver lining. C．A friend in need is a friend indeed. D．Action speaks louder than inaction. （2024·北京东城·二模）Mark Brown, 57, had been making films for 30 years, but he found himself feeling tired of it. “I thought, things can only go downhill.” Brown knew he needed to do something else — but what? A few years earlier, he had bought his childhood house and moved in. While Brown wondered about a second care er in gardening, he heard a different internal voice. “That child who used to love drawing whispered to me down the years,” he said. Some unacknowledged longing in him was brought out. There was a great oak tree near his home. It had stood out to his young self as a “fantastical giant — a treasure home to birds, insects and animals. There was a cave inside. We used to squeeze in through this hole.” He decided to lock himself away for two months to draw it in all its glorious detail. “While I was drawing,” he said, “there came moments when it was as though the tree was drawing itself. I had spent so much time playing in it. I could feel it. It was deep inside me.” His finished oak held “a real power”, he said. “As you walk towards it, it just grows.” Brown became a tree portraitist. Over the next few years, he travelled across Britain and spent days with the trees selected with the help of the Ancient Tree Forum, the Tree Council and the Woodland Trust. Brown has started work on a 20-drawing series of Britain’s most important ash trees. “These beautiful old ash trees are going to be lost to us,” he says. “They are 350 years old and they are dying because of a disease that we’ve spread.” Drawing is not only an act of care and a demand for preservation, but it “gives me that interface between my passion for the natural world and my creativity,” Brown says. It has also given him a different perspective on the passage of time. “I’m an old man yet I’m only 71, and some of the trees I’ve drawn are 1,000 years old. When I’m with them and when I draw them, I think about the end of my life and the brief nature of human life that passes momentarily beneath them.” 49．At the age of 57, Brown ______. A．moved into his old house B．awakened a childhood interest C．reached the peak of his life D．developed a passion for gardening 50．What can we learn about the oak tree and Brown? A．It helped him start a new career. B．It linked him with the world. C．He built a tree house in it. D．He studied creatures in it. 51．What is Brown working on? A．Setting up tree organizations. B．Looking for cures for tree diseases. C．Drawing to call for protection for trees. D．Travelling to select important trees in Britain. 52．When Brown is with trees, he feels that ______. A．time is endless B．human life is temporary C．nature is dynamic D．life-long learning is crucial （2024·北京通州·模拟预测）When Emma woke up, she knew it was going to be one of those days. She felt unwell — a cold had taken hold of her. Still, she needed to brave the storm of responsibilities at work. Emma dragged herself out of bed and got ready for work. Then she put on her raincoat and went out into the pouring rain. As she walked, she fought against the bad weather. Emma’s umbrella was almost useless as it was raining cats and dogs. Then like a bolt from the blue, the wind blew it inside out. She was immediately wet from head to toe. She said to herself in a quiet voice. “What a day to forget my rain boots!” At the office, the day was as stormy as the weather. She had a mountain of tasks. Handling endless emails and phone calls should have been a light wind. But before long, she was desperate to take a break so she could get a second wind. Then, at exactly the moment, her coworker Alex came to her rescue. Alex was not a fair-weather friend but was always ready to lend a hand. With a warm smile, he offered to help Emma. Having Alex assist her was like a ray of sunshine on a rainy day. Their laughter and good-fellowship as they completed their tasks made the hours pass quickly. On her way home, Emma reflected on the day, which had ended up being surprisingly pleasant. She realized that every cloud did indeed have a silver lining. Today, that silver lining had been her wonderful colleague, Alex. When Emma arrived home, she decided to send Alex a heartfelt message of appreciation. She wrote, “Thanks for being my ray of sunshine in this rainy day!” It was a simple message, but it carried a lot of meaning. That night, listening to it rain cats and dogs outside, Emma couldn’t help but smile. She had weathered the storm with Alex’s help. 53．Why did Emma get totally wet?

The addition of taking care of yourself, making new friends, learning how to get around campus, and school can sometimes be too much to bear. I would like to attend medical school after my four-year undergraduate. It is well-known that medical schools are very competitive and require extremely high marks. I had always known that I was meant for medical school and worked hard all throughout high school. I engaged in life sciences and knew that I wanted to do a double major in neuroscience (神经科学) and psychology, but of course, I wasn’t so fond of the preconditions to get to that stage. I had to take math and physics in my first year. So after the choke I call the first term, I looked back on my grades and found that I had never seen numbers like this before. I really didn’t even think they were possible. I had heard that medical schools liked to see an upward trend, so I was discouraged and hurt, but tried not to think about it. Having your grades taken away from you when that was all you had was a huge thing I had to overcome — I defined my worth by how “smart” I was and getting past that mindset was the hardest thing I’ve ever done. After I saw my grades, I realized the mistake I made taking a bunch of unnecessarily challenging courses. At the end of my second term, my grades weren’t as high as I wanted them to be, but I accepted it. I knew that there were reasons for the differences between individuals, but I still saw a huge improvement in my marks from the first term. I had enjoyed my time in my second term and even though I wasn’t where I wanted to be, it had nothing to do with my place in the university. It was very eye-opening and taught me what I needed to do in order to achieve MY best — not what everyone else considered to be the best. I’m now taking a summer school course and my marks are incredibly better than what I was getting during my first year of school. Though I had a rough start, I’m sure my lessons and new attitude will carry me much farther than just to medical school. 57．The author wanted to take a double major because she ______. A．liked the two majors better B．was preparing herself for her goal C．tried to prove her academic ability D．decided to challenge herself in university 58．How did the author feel when reviewing her grades after the first term? A．Satisfied. B．Surprised. C．Calm. D．Angry. 59．In the second term, the author ______. A．accepted the grades and did nothing B．tried to learn more necessary courses C．viewed learning from a different angle D．focused on learning medical knowledge 60．What can we learn from this passage? A．A fresh start leads to more challenges. B．Hard work will pay off sooner or later. C．Stick to your plan and you will succeed. D．Proper adjustment will take you farther. （2024·北京大兴·三模）A voice reaches us, crying out from the depths of a profound silence: “I am alive, I can think, and no one has the right to deny me these two realities. . . ” The words were conveyed by a flicker (跳动) of the left eyelid. It came from a book, The Diving Bell and the Butterfly, by a former journalist, Jean-Dominique Bauby. He worked for journals like the Quotidien de Paris and Paris Match. For four years until December 1995 he was the very successful chief editor of Elle. Then the unthinkable happened. A cardiovascular ( 心血管的) accident sent him into a deep coma (昏迷). His brain remained undamaged, but its connection to his body left him with only the ability to blink his left eyelid. The poor man was diagnosed as suffering from the rare disease “Locked-in Syndrome”, unable to breathe or eat without assistance. In this inert body, however, his brain was working furiously, trying to make people understand what he was thinking. With the help of a specialized nurse, Claude Mendibil, he was able to write his book, using only his ability to blink at the most frequently used letters of the alphabet. He would spend most of the night editing his thoughts and composing sentences. It took him about 200, 000 blinks to write his book of more than 100 pages. In it, Bauby describes his paralyzed existence as being trapped in an old-fashioned deep-sea diving bell while the “butterflies” of his mind flutter about freely. One would expect from this process formal factual report, but that is not the case. The book reads in flowing images that light up his predicament. The style is clear and fresh, and not without elegance, imagination and shafts of humor. He is also in search of past time, of memory itself, of the books he had read, the poems he had learnt by heart. Even sadder, he thinks of all the books he wanted to read and hadn’t gotten to. He has to listen to someone else reading them to him. He recalls meals, a horse race, his life and work as an editor, and his struggle in his hospital bed to twitch (抽搐) his nose when a fly lands on it. “From this hell comes a great message of life and hope,” said Antoine Audouard, a friend of Bauby’s and the book’s publisher. 61．We can learn from the article that Jean Dominique Bauby ________. A．die of a rare cardiovascular condition B．used to be a successful journalist and editor C．suffered brain damage due to Locked-in Syndrome D．continued to run magazines from his hospital bed with the help of a nurse 62．What do paragraphs 4 and 5 mainly talk about? A．How Bauby was able to write his book. B．What Bauby’s life was like after he had been paralyzed. C．What The Diving Bell and the Butterfly is mainly about. D．Why Bauby named his book The Diving Bell and the Butterfly. 63．Based on information from the article, which of the following statements about The Diving Bell and the Butterfly is true? A．It is written in a formal and serious style. B．It focuses on Bauby’s memories from his time as an editor. C．It describes Bauby’s paralyzed existence with elegant and creative language. D．It gives readers an easy-to-understand introduction to Locked-in Syndrome. 64．Based on this article, which of the following words can not be used to describe Bauby? A．Odd-tempered. B．Open-minded. C．Strong-willed. D．Warm-hearted. （2024·北京丰台·二模）Abeid was born in a village of Tanzania and dreamt of flying a plane, soaring (翱翔) through the sky. Due to financial difficulties, he became a wildlife guide instead. Abeid didn’t give up. He became a chief pilot of hot air ballooning at the age of 20. His passion for flying was matched by his skill both as a pilot and as a guide. Then, he came up with the idea of flying across the Serengeti from east to west, which would take four flights on successive days, taking off and landing where no one had ever seen a balloon before. As a journalist, I was so lucky to make a journey with Abeid. We were up at 3 am. Abeid walked into the basket and checked the lines and the fastenings. Moments later, he was instructing me to get into it. With barely time to catch my breath, he gave a long blast (猛吹) on the burners and the basket tipped upright. Over the following days, we gasped at the joy and wonder of the sky; at the beauty and complexity of the land beneath us. There was no fear, just a sense of being part of something fantastic as we floated in the silence of the African sky. But not everything went entirely to Abeid’s carefully worked-out plan. The rains that had started to fall every afternoon slowed the air. On the final day, we landed 20km short of the destination. Luckily, we finally made the crossing the next morning. When we were returning to the land, crowds of people shouted and waved. Many children looked up as we flew over them, and started to run. As Abeid brought the balloon down, people gathered around the balloon, pressing against the basket. Those children were also there, flushed and breathless, eyes wide with amazement. Abeid and I both looked at each other in silent agreement. Suddenly we were helping some children into the basket. Abeid lifted off and we flew just a few hundred metres with the excited crowd running alongside. I realized that Abeid’s journey was more than just about flying. It was about hope, inspiration, and the joy of sharing one’s passion. And as I penned down the last words of this extraordinary experience, I knew that Abeid’s story would resonate (回荡) far beyond the Serengeti. 65．What did Abeid dream of? A．Being a wildlife guide. B．Being a journalist. C．Flying a hot air balloon. D．Flying a plane. 66．Which of the following best describes the journey across the Serengeti? A．Smooth. B．Pioneering. C．Painful. D．Eco-friendly. 67．What agreement did Abeid and the author reach? A．Showing their technical skills. B．Teaching the children to be a pilot. C．Taking the children for a ride. D．Attracting people to their show. 68．What would be the best title for the passage? A．A Beautiful View: from East to West B．A Balloon Adventure: the Dream Soaring High C．Different Job Experiences: from a Guide to a Pilot D．A Wildlife Exploration: the Unforgettable Experience （2024·北京顺义·二模）Up to the age of ten, I did not mind at all the fact that my elder sister was different. The child psychologist had termed it as “Asperger Syndrome”, a disease that affects how a person socializes with others. It was only at the age of ten that I started to become aware of my social life and self-image that I had carefully shaped. My sister, on the other hand, was socially awkward. She would mumble (咕哝) to herself and repeat the words she had just said under her breath. She, however, was academically capable, and hence we attended the same primary school. Despite this, I never, ever acknowledged in public that she was my sister. Being in primary six, about to graduate, my sister and her classmates had to put up a performance, whether in a group, or individually. Due to her inability to integrate, my sister was the only one left without a group. “I’ll sing,” my sister told my parents, somewhat confidently. Hearing that, I was taken aback. How could my sister sing in front of the school? She would embarrass me, one way or another. “No!” I remember protesting. My parents shot me a look. No one knows she is your sister. It is fine, you do not need to tell anyone. I remember telling myself these exact lines as I sat in the hall, waiting for the performances to start. The curtains parted to reveal the only solo (独唱) — my sister. It took about a whole minute for her to state her name and class and by that time, whispers were heard in the audience. “Why is she taking so long?” people around me asked. I shifted nervously in my seat. Finally, my sister started to sing. I was prepared for the worst. She opened her mouth, and I was transfixed — she sang effortlessly. Her voice rang through the hall, beautiful in its power. I listened ever so carefully to the words that she had composed all by herself. Guilt and shame filled my heart. Although she knew that I was embarrassed by her and was unwilling to attend her concert, my sister had forgiven me; she had never taken anything that I had done to her to heart. It was then that I resolved to love her unconditionally. 69．How did the author feel about his sister’s difference before 10? A．He hardly accepted it. B．He didn’t care about it. C．He was extremely awkward. D．He was determined to help. 70．Why did the author protest against his sister’s decision? A．To challenge his parents. B．To follow other students. C．To keep his sister’s image. D．To protect his self-respect. 71．What do we know about the author’s sister? A．She always got full marks in primary school. B．She refused to form a group with other students. C．She gave an excellent performance before graduation. D．She delivered an inspiring speech in front of the school. 72．What lesson did the author learn from his sister? A．Take nothing to heart. B．Love without condition. C．Stick to one’s own choice. D．Learn from anyone around. （2024·北京·一模）“Your mother needs a new heart,” my father told me when I called on that December afternoon. An unrelenting optimist, he spoke as if she merely needed to have a part replaced. But, although my two sisters and I knew that our mother had heart problems, this news still made us frozen for a while with our eyes widening in disbelief. Dr. Marc Semigran of the transplant team reviewed my mother’s medical history. She’d had an irregular and rapid heartbeat for most of her life. Her present treatment — the use of a series of cardioversions, or electric jolts, to restore a normal heartbeat — would not work in the long-term. She had an enlarged and weakened heart, as well as a faulty valve. “With medication,” Dr. Semigran said, “you have a 60 percent chance of living six months. You could have a longer life with a transplant, but there are risks. You’re at the top end of the age group of sixty years old. The lungs and other organs must be healthy and strong. While the transplant surgery is actually a straightforward procedure, acceptance by the body is the difficult thing.” My family came together, trying to provide strength and work out what to do. We’d already gone from shock, over our mother’s condition, to worry that she wouldn’t be a suitable recipient. Despite of the risk, we chose to believe that she would make it eventually. Word came later in December that she had been accepted into the programme. Dr. Jeremy Ruskin told us one of the reasons she had been accepted was that she had such strong family support. One Monday in May, at about 8 p. m., my mother received a phone call from the hospital that a heart was available. As she was about to be wheeled off, my father took her face in his hands and looked into her eyes. His look said everything about their 42-year relationship. The heart transplant operation was successful and the conditions could not have been better. The irony of the transplant process is that one family’s loss is another’s gain; that tragedy begets fortune. It is a kind of life after death, our hearts beating beyond us. We developed a feeling of love for this new part, of gratitude for the doctors, for the process, and for those people who made a decision just for humanity. 73．How did the sisters feel to the news that their mother needed a new heart? A．Frightened. B．Astonished. C．Worried. D．Annoyed. 74．Which is the factor to affect the possibility of their mother’s heart transplant? A．Her abnormal heart beat. B．The age of over sixty years old. C．Her willingness to the transplant. D．The adaptation of the new heart in the body. 75．What made the transplant team decide to have the operation? A．That her lungs were healthy. B．That a new heart had been found. C．That her family were expecting the operation. D．That her family trusted the doctors' medical level. 76．What can we learn from the passage? A．Family support is of great importance. B．Fortune favors those who are optimistic. C．Confidence helps patients overcome difficulties. D．Getting prepared before accepting a treatment matters. （2024·北京海淀·一模）At my first lesson in Chinese calligraphy, my teacher told me plainly: “Now I will teach you how to write your name. And to make it beautiful.” I felt my breath catch. I was curious. Growing up in Singapore, I had an unusual relationship with my Chinese name. My parents are ethnically Chinese, so they asked fortune tellers to decide my name, aiming for maximum luck. As a result, I ended up with a nonsense and embarrassing name: Chen Yiwen, meaning, roughly, “old”, “barley (薏米)” and “warm”. When I arrived in America for college at 18, I put on an American accent and abandoned my Chinese name. When I moved to Hong Kong in 2021, after 14 years in the States, I decided to learn calligraphy. Why not get back in touch with my heritage? I thought. In calligraphy, the idea is to copy the old masters’ techniques, thereby refining your own. Every week, though, my teacher would give uncomfortably on-the-nose assessments of my person. “You need to be braver,” he once observed. “Have confidence. Try to produce a bold stroke(笔画).” For years, I had prided myself on presenting an image of confidence, but my writing betrayed me. I was trying to make sense of this practice. You must visualize the word as it is to be written and leave a trace of yourself in it. As a bodily practice, calligraphy could go beyond its own cultural restrictions. Could it help me go beyond mine? My teacher once said to me, “When you look at the word, you see the body. Though a word on the page is two-dimensional, it contains multitudes, conveying the force you’ve applied, the energy of your grip, the arch of your spine.” I had been learning calligraphy to get in touch with my cultural roots, but what I was really seeking was a return to myself. Now I have sensed that the pleasure out of calligraphy allows me to know myself more fully. During a recent lesson, my teacher pointed at the word I had just finished, telling me: “This word is much better. I can see the choices you made, your calculations, your flow. Trust yourself. This word is yours.” He might as well have said, “This word is you.” 77．What did the author initially think of her name “Chen Yiwen”? A．It was lucky so she gladly accepted it. B．She felt proud of its symbolic meaning. C．She understood the intention but still disliked it. D．Its strange pronunciation made her embarrassed. 78．The author decided to learn calligraphy to ______. A．pick up a new hobby B．reconnect with her origin C．gain insights into a new culture D．fit in with local community 79．From the teacher’s words, the author learns that calligraphy ______. A．reflects the creator’s spirits B．comes from creative energy C．highlights the design of strokes D．depends on continuous practice 80．What does the author intend to tell us? A．Appreciate what our culture offers. B．Find beauty from your inner self. C．A great teacher leads you to truth. D．We are the sum of what we create. 试卷第16页，共26页 试卷第15页，共26页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 《2025届高考英语名校模拟真题速递》（北京专用） 专题02 【5年真题1年模拟】阅读理解记叙文5年真题20题+最新模拟80题（技能+真题+模拟）解析版 目录 技能专区 1 真题专区 3 模拟专区 10 技能专区：冲刺备考名师提醒，洞悉高考命题规律，提供高效提分干货 一、阅读理解记叙文细节理解题居多，落实“定位原文”和“同义替换”。 二、阅读理解记叙文重视首尾段作用，尤其是标题概括题和写作意图题。 三、猜词词义题注意运用“代入法”和“排除法”从逻辑性和褒贬性出发。 四、文章寓意题注意选项字面意思和言外之意与文章主旨相结合，去伪存真。 五、性格描述题注意原文定位，找到相关动词或形容词描述，进而确定最佳答案。 六、标题概括题既要注意文章线索“点睛”作用，还要注意首尾段呼应，尤其是 尾段主旨升华。另外，记叙文标题兼具概括性、新颖性和针对性。 七、落实“题干+原文+选项”三对照，重视原文与选项“同义转换”命题技巧。 六、规范训练目标：做标记，留痕迹；零失误；限时7分钟/每篇。 七、解题策略： 一把钥匙开一把锁。要解答好记叙文阅读理解题，就应该有一套针对性强的方法和技巧。下面是我们在阅读教学中积累下来的一点心得体会，希望能对大家有所帮助。 ☛顺藤摸瓜: 记叙文中有大量的事件发展过程中的细节，包括记叙文的5W（what, who, when, where, why）要素。因此我们作答细节题的时候，一般只需要由前到后，从上到下，一题一题地做就可以了。 ☛左顾右盼 在做题过程中，需要抓住题干中的关键词语，然后到文中准确地找到与之相关的语句，或是疑似语句的位置，接着去左顾，或右盼，在前句或后句寻找线索。 ☛刨根问底 主旨大意题或推理判断题等不可被题干的表象所迷惑，要像剥洋葱一样，一层一层地剥；要在文前文后去查找，在字里行间里去寻觅。有时还少不了借助自己的生活经验和常理来体会这言外之意。 ☛拨云见日 每年的高考阅读题中，特别是记叙文的阅读题，都会出现一至两道词义猜测题。这时，你不仅需要＂左顾右盼＂，还需要在几句话，一个段落，乃至整篇文章的字里行间中快速搜寻，看看前面、后面都发生了些什么；反复琢磨人物、事物，或者人物与事物之间的内在联系，才可能在最后拨开团团迷雾，从四个选项中选出正确答案。 ☛一锤定音 有时记叙文最后一题需要选定标题，颇有难度。既要注意文章反复出现的关键词（key words），还应注意文章的主旨或隐含意义。实在有困难的话，还可以用排除法。从历年高考统计数据来看，记叙文标题可以是以下情况：短语型；句子型；问句型等。 真题专区：练真题，明方向；练技巧，提能力；练速度，提分数！ 真题演练01（2024·北京·高考真题）When I was a little girl, I liked drawing, freely and joyously making marks on the walls at home. In primary school, I learned to write using chalks. Writing seemed to be another form of drawing. I shaped individual letters into repeating lines, which were abstract forms, delightful but meaningless patterns. In secondary school, art was my favourite subject. Since I loved it so much I thought I was good at it. For the art O-level exam I had to present an oil painting. I found it difficult, but still hoped to pass. I failed, with a low grade. I’d been over-confident. Now I’d been declared talentless. But other channels of creativity stayed open: I went on writing poems and stories. Still, I went to exhibitions often. I continued my habitual drawing, which I now characterised as childish doodling (乱画). In my 30s, I made painter friends and learned new ways of looking at art. However, I couldn’t let myself have a go at actually doing it. Though these new friends were abstract painters using oil paints, or were printmakers or sculptors, I took oil painting as the taboo (禁忌) high form I wasn’t allowed to practice. One night, in my early 40s, I dreamed that a big woman in red approached me, handed me a bag of paints, and told me to start painting. The dream felt so authoritative that it shook me. It was a form of energy, giving me back something I’d lost. Accordingly, I started by experimenting with water colours. Finally, I bought some oil paints. Although I have enjoyed breaking my decades-long taboo about working with oil paints, I have discovered I now prefer chalks and ink. I let my line drawings turn into cartoons I send to friends. It all feels free and easy. Un-anxious. This time around, I can accept my limitations but keep going. Becoming a successful painter calls for being resolute. I realised I was always afraid of wanting too much. That dream reminded me that those fears and desires could encourage me to take risks and make experiments. 24. How did the author feel about the result of the art exam? A. Scared. B. Worried. C. Discouraged. D. Wronged. 25. In her 30s, the author _________. A. avoided oil painting practice B. sought for a painting career C. fancied abstract painting D. exhibited child paintings 26. Which word would best describe the author’s dream? A. Confusing. B. Empowering. C. Disturbing. D. Entertaining. 27. What can we learn from this passage? A. Actions speak louder than words. B. Hard work is the mother of success. C. Dreams are the reflections of realities. D. Creative activities involve being confident. 【答案】24. C25. A26. B27. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者一直喜欢绘画，但中学时由于油画测试成绩较低，作者对绘画失去了信心。在40岁出头时，一个梦让作者重拾画油画的信心并接受了自身局限性的故事。 24.推理判断题。根据第二段“I found it difficult, but still hoped to pass. I failed, with a low grade. I’d been over-confident. Now I’d been declared talentless.(我觉得很难，但仍希望能通过测试。我没有通过，而且成绩很低。我过于自信了。现在，我被宣布为毫无(油画)天赋的人了)”并结合下文中作者多年不碰油画的经历可推知，作者对美术考试的结果感到气馁。故选C。 25.细节理解题。根据第三段“In my 30s, I made painter friends and learned new ways of looking at art.(在我30多岁时，我结交了画家朋友们，学到了看待艺术的新方法)”和“Though these new friends were abstract painters using oil paints, or were printmakers or sculptors, I took oil painting as the taboo (禁忌) high form I wasn’t allowed to practice. (虽然这些新朋友是使用油画颜料的抽象画师，或者是版画家或雕塑家，但我把油画作为禁忌的高级形式，不允许我练习)”可知，作者在30多岁时回避练习油画。故选A。 26.推理判断题。根据第四段“The dream felt so authoritative that it shook me.

I felt a buzz (振动) in my pocket. My heart raced when I saw the email sender’s name. The email started off: “Dear Mr Green, thank you for your interest” and “the review process took longer than expected.” It ended with “We are sorry to inform you…” and my vision blurred (模糊). The position—measuring soil quality in the Sahara Desert as part of an undergraduate research programme — had felt like the answer I had spent years looking for. I had put so much time and emotional energy into applying, and I thought the rejection meant the end of the road for my science career. So I was shocked when, not long after the email, Professor Mary Devon, who was running the programme, invited me to observe the work being done in her lab. I jumped at the chance, and a few weeks later I was equally shocked—and overjoyed—when she invited me to talk with her about potential projects I could pursue in her lab. What she proposed didn’t seem as exciting as the original project I had applied to, but I was going to give it my all. I found myself working with a robotics professor on techniques for collecting data from the desert remotely. That project, which I could complete from my sofa instead of in the burning heat of the desert, not only survived the lockdown but worked where traditional methods didn’t. In the end, I had a new scientific interest to pursue. When I applied to graduate school, I found three programmes promising to allow me to follow my desired research direction. And I applied with the same anxious excitement as before. When I was rejected from one that had seemed like a perfect fit, it was undoubtedly difficult. But this time I had the perspective (视角) to keep it from sending me into panic. It helped that in the end I was accepted into one of the other programmes I was also excited about. Rather than setting plans in stone, I’ve learned that sometimes I need to take the opportunities that are offered, even if they don’t sound perfect at the time, and make the most of them. 1. How did the author feel upon seeing the email sender’s name? A. Anxious. B. Angry. C. Surprised. D. Settled. 2. After talking with Professor Devon, the author decided to ________. A. criticise the review process B. stay longer in the Sahara Desert C. apply to the original project again D. put his heart and soul into the lab work 3. According to the author, the project with the robotics professor was ________. A. demanding B. inspiring C. misleading D. amusing 4. What can we learn from this passage? A. An invitation is a reputation. B. An innovation is a resolution. C. A rejection can be a redirection. D. A reflection can be a restriction. 1. A 2. D 3. B 4. C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章中作者结合自己被拒绝后得到了更好的职业发展机会，告诉我们最初的拒绝给予了更好的方向。 1. 推理判断题。根据第一段“My heart raced when I saw the email sender’s name. The email started off: “Dear Mr Green, thank you for your interest” and “the review process took longer than expected.” It ended with “We are sorry to inform you…”and my vision blurred (模糊). (当我看到邮件发件人的名字时，我的心跳加速了。这封邮件是这样开头的：“亲爱的格林先生，感谢您的关注”，“审核过程比预期的要长。”信的结尾是“我们很抱歉地通知你……”，我的视线模糊了)”可知，收到的是被拒绝的邮件，所以推测作者在看到电子邮件发件人的名字时感到焦虑。故选A。 2. 细节理解题。根据第三段“So I was shocked when, not long after the email, Professor Mary Devon, who was running the programme, invited me to observe the work being done in her lab. I jumped at the chance, and a few weeks later I was equally shocked—and overjoyed—when she invited me to talk with her about potential projects I could pursue in her lab. What she proposed didn’t seem as exciting as the original project I had applied to, but I was going to give it my all. (因此，当我收到这封邮件后不久，负责这个项目的玛丽·德文教授邀请我去她的实验室观察正在进行的工作时，我感到非常震惊。我欣然接受了这个机会，几周后，当她邀请我和她谈谈我可以在她的实验室里从事的潜在项目时，我同样感到震惊——同时也是欣喜若狂。她提出的建议似乎没有我最初申请的项目那么令人兴奋，但我打算全力以赴)”可知，与德文教授交谈后，作者决定全心全意地投入实验室工作。故选D。 3. 推理判断题。根据第四段“I found myself working with a robotics professor on techniques for collecting data from the desert remotely. That project, which I could complete from my sofa instead of in the burning heat of the desert, not only survived the lockdown but worked where traditional methods didn’t. In the end, I had a new scientific interest to pursue. (我发现自己和一个机器人教授一起研究从沙漠中远程收集数据的技术。我可以在沙发上完成这个项目，而不是在沙漠的酷热中完成，它不仅在封锁期间幸存下来，而且在传统方法不奏效的地方也奏效了。最后，我有了新的科学兴趣去追求)”可推知，机器人学教授的项目很鼓舞人心。故选B。 4. 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Rather than setting plans in stone, I’ve learned that sometimes I need to take the opportunities that are offered, even if they don’t sound perfect at the time, and make the most of them. (我明白了有时候我需要抓住提供的机会，即使这些机会在当时听起来并不完美，也要充分利用，而不是一成不变地制定计划)”结合文章中作者结合自己被拒绝后得到了更好的职业发展机会，告诉我们最初的拒绝给予了更好的方向。故C选项“拒绝可以是重定向”最符合文章的主旨。故选C。 真题演练03（2022·北京·高考真题）My name is Alice. Early last year, I was troubled by an anxiety that crippled ( 削弱 ) my ability to do anything. I felt like a storm cloud hung over me. For almost a year I struggled on, constantly staring at this wall that faced me. My perfectionist tendencies were the main root of this: I wanted to be perfect at whatever I did, which obviously in life is not possible, but it consumed me. One day, I attended a presentation by wildlife conservationist Grant Brown at my high school. His presentation not only awed and inspired me, but also helped emerge an inner desire to make a difference in the world. I joined a pre-presentation dinner with him and that smaller setting allowed me to slowly build up my courage to speak one-on-one with him—an idea that had seemed completely impossible. This first contact was where my story began. A month later, Brown invited me to attend the World Youth Wildlife Conference. Looking back, I now see that this would be the first in a series of timely opportunities that my old self would have let pass, but that this new and more confident Alice enthusiastically seized. Shortly after I received his invitation, applications to join the Youth for Nature and the Youth for Planet groups were sent around through my high school. I decided to commit to completing the applications, and soon I was a part of a growing global team of young people working to protect nature. Each of these new steps continued to grow my confidence. I am writing this just six months since my journey began and I’ve realised that my biggest obstacle ( 障碍 ) this whole time was myself. It was that voice in the back of my head telling me that one phrase that has stopped so many people from reaching their potential: I can’t. They say good things come to those who wait; I say: grab every opportunity with everything you have and be impatient. After all, nature does not require our patience, but our action. 5. What was the main cause for Alice’s anxiety? A. Her inability to act her age. B. Her habit of consumption. C. Her desire to be perfect. D. Her lack of inspiration. 6. How did Grant Brown’s presentation influence Alice? A. She decided to do something for nature. B. She tasted the sweetness of friendship. C. She learned about the harm of desire. D. She built up her courage to speak up. 7. The activities Alice joined in helped her to become more ________. A. intelligent B. confident C. innovative D. critical 8. What can we learn from this passage? A. Practice makes perfect. B. Patience is a cure of anxiety. C. Action is worry’s worst enemy. D. Everything comes to those who wait. 5. C 6. A 7. B 8. C 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述作者通过参加保护自然活动治愈好了自己的焦虑。 5. 细节理解题。由文章第一段“My perfectionist tendencies were the main root of this: I wanted to be perfect at whatever I did, which obviously in life is not possible, but it consumed me.(我的完美主义倾向是这一点的主要根源：无论我做什么，我都想做到完美，这在生活中显然是不可能的，但它消耗了我。)”可知，是要求完美导致了焦虑。故选C项。 6. 细节理解题。由文章第二段“One day, I attended a presentation by wildlife conservationist Grant Brown at my high school. His presentation not only awed and inspired me, but also helped emerge an inner desire to make a difference in the world. (一天，我在高中参加了野生动物保护主义者Grant Brown的演讲。他的演讲不仅让我感到敬畏和鼓舞，还帮助我产生了一种内在的愿望，希望在世界上有所作为。)”和文章第三段“ Shortly after I received his invitation, applications to join the Youth for Nature and the Youth for Planet groups were sent around through my high school. I decided to commit to completing the applications, and soon I was a part of a growing global team of young people working to protect nature. (在我收到他的邀请后不久，我的高中就收到了加入“Youth for Nature”和“Youth for Plane”组织的申请。我决定致力于完成这些申请，很快我就成为了一个日益壮大的全球年轻人保护自然团队的一员。)”可知，是Grant Brown让作者开始为从事保护自然地活动中。故选A项。 7. 细节理解题。由文章第三段“I decided to commit to completing the applications, and soon I was a part of a growing global team of young people working to protect nature. Each of these new steps continued to grow my confidence.(我决定完成申请，很快我就成为了一个不断壮大的全球年轻人保护自然团队的一员。每一步都让我更加自信。)”可知，Alice 加入这些活动让她变得更自信了。故选B项。 8. 推理判断题。由第一段“ Early last year, I was troubled by an anxiety that crippled ( 削弱 ) my ability to do anything. I felt like a storm cloud hung over me.”（去年年初，我被一种焦虑困扰，它削弱了我做任何事情的能力。）由文章第三段“I decided to commit to completing the applications, and soon I was a part of a growing global team of young people working to protect nature. Each of these new steps continued to grow my confidence.(我决定完成申请，很快我就成为了一个不断壮大的全球年轻人保护自然团队的一员。每一步都让我更加自信。)可知，文章主要讲述作者通过参加保护自然活动治愈好了自己的焦虑。所以从文章中我们能学到行动是忧虑最大的敌人。故选C项。 真题演练04（2021·北京·高考真题）I remember the day during our first week of class when we were informed about our semester（学期） project of volunteering at a non-profit organization. When the teacher introduced us to the different organizations that needed our help，my last choice was Operation Iraqi Children （OIC）. My first impression of the organization was that it was not going to make enough of a difference with the plans I had in mind. Then，an OIC representative gave us some details，which somewhat interested me. After doing some research， I believed that we could really do something for those kids. When I went online to the OIC website，I saw pictures of the Iraqi children. Their faces were so powerful in sending a message of their despair（绝望） and need that I joined this project without hesitation. We decided to collect as many school supplies as possible，and make them into kits——one kit，one child. The most rewarding day for our group was project day，when all the efforts we put into collecting the items finally came together. When I saw the various supplies we had collected，it hit me that every kit we were to build that day would eventually be in the hands of an Iraqi child. Over the past four months，I had never imagined how I would feel once our project was completed. While making the kits，I realized that I had lost sight of the true meaning behind it. I had only focused on the fact that it was another school project and one I wanted to get a good grade on. When the kits were completed，and ready to be sent overseas，the warm feeling I had was one I would never forget. In the beginning，I dared myself to make a difference in the life of another person. Now that our project is over，I realize that I have affected not only one life，but ten. With our efforts，ten young boys and girls will now be able to further their education. 9. How did the author feel about joining the OIC project in the beginning？ A. It would affect his/her initial plans. B. It would involve traveling overseas. C. It would not bring him/her a good grade. D. It would not live up to his/her expectations. 10. What mainly helped the author change his/her attitude toward the project？ A. Images of Iraqi children. B. Research by his/her classmates. C. A teacher's introduction. D. A representative's comments. 11. The author's OIC project group would help ten Iraqi children to________. . A. become OIC volunteers B. further their education C. study in foreign countries D. influence other children 12. What can we conclude from this passage？ A. One's potential cannot always be underrated. B. First impression cannot always be trusted. C. Actions speak louder than words. D. He who hesitates is lost. 9. D 10. A 11. B 12. B 【分析】本文是记叙文。讲述了作者一开始认为加入伊拉克儿童行动项目不会达到他的期望，但是最后通过努力对自己和他人带来影响，说明第一印象不总是可信的。 9. 细节理解题。根据第一段“When the teacher introduced us to the different organizations that needed our help，my last choice was Operation Iraqi Children （OIC）. My first impression of the organization was that it was not going to make enough of a difference with            the plans I had in mind. ”（当老师向我们介绍了需要我们帮助的不同组织时，我最后的选择是伊拉克儿童行动(OIC)。我对这个组织的第一印象是，它不会对我心中的计划产生足够的影响。）可知，一开始作者认为加入伊拉克儿童行动项目不会达到他的期望。故选D。 10. 细节理解题。根据第二段“When I went online to the OIC website，I saw pictures of the Iraqi children. Their faces were so powerful in sending a message of their despair（绝望） and need that I joined this project without hesitation. ”（当我上网访问OIC 网站时，我看到了伊拉克儿童的照片。他们的脸上传递的信息是绝望和需要帮助，我毫不犹豫地加入了这个项目。）可知，伊拉克儿童图片帮助作者改变了他对这个项目的态度。故选A。 11. 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Now that our project is over，I realize that I have affected not only one life，but ten. With our efforts，ten young boys and girls will now be able to further their education. ”（现在我们的项目结束了，我意识到我不仅影响了一个人的生活，而且影响了十个人的生活。在我们的努力下，10名男孩和女孩现在将能够继续接受教育。）可知，作者的伊拉克儿童行动组织帮助十个伊拉克儿童继续接受教育。故选B。 12. 推理判断题。根据第一段“My first impression of the organization was that it was not going to make enough of a difference with the plans I had in mind. ”（我对这个组织的第一印象是，它不会对我心中的计划产生足够的影响。）和最后一段“In the beginning，I dared myself to make a difference in the life            of another person. Now that our project is over，I realize that I have affected not only one life，but ten. With our efforts，ten young boys and girls will now be able to further their education. ”（一开始，我鼓励自己去改变另一个人的生活。现在我们的项目结束了，我意识到我不仅影响了一个人的生活，而且影响了十个人的生活。在我们的努力下，十名男孩和女孩现在将能够继续接受教育。）可知，一开始作者认为加入伊拉克儿童行动不会达到他的期望，但是最后通过努力对自己和他人带来影响，说明第一印象不总是可信的。故选B。 真题演练05（2020·北京·高考真题）For the past five years, Paula Smith, a historian of science, has devoted herself to re-creating long-forgotten techniques. While doing research for her new book, she came across a 16th-century French manuscript（手稿）consisting of nearly 1,000 sets of instructions, covering subjects from tool making to finding the best sand. The author's intention remains as mysterious（神秘）as his name; he may have been simply taking notes for his own records. But Smith was struck mainly by the fact that she didn't truly grasp any of the skills the author described. "You simply can't get an understanding of that handwork by reading about it," she says. Though Smith did get her hands on the best sand, doing things the old-fashioned way isn't just about playing around with French mud. Reconstructing the work of the craftsmen（工匠）who lived centuries ago can reveal how they viewed the world, what objects filled their homes, and what went on in the workshops that produced them. It can even help solve present-day problems: In 2015, scientists discovered that a 10th-century English medicine for eve problems could kill a drug-resistant virus. The work has also brought insights for museums, Smith says. One must know how an object was made in order to preserve it. What's more, reconstructions might be the only way to know what treasures looked like before time wore them down. Scholars have seen this idea in practice with ancient Greek and Roman statues. These sculptures were painted a rainbow of striking colours. We can't appreciate these kinds of details without seeing works of art as they originally appeared-something Smith believes you can do only when you have a road map. Smith has put the manuscript's ideas into practice. Her final goal is to link the worlds of art and science back together: She believes that bringing the old recipes to life can help develop a kind of learning that highlights experimentation, teamwork, and problem solving. Back when science—then called “the new philosophy”—took shape, academics looked to craftsmen for help in understanding the natural world. Microscopes and telescopes were invented by way of artistic tinkering（修补）, as craftsmen experimented with glass to better bend light. If we can rediscover the values of hands-on experience and craftwork, Smith says, we can marry the best of our modern insights with the handiness of our ancestors. 13. How did Smith, feel after reading the French manuscript? A. Confused about the technical terms. B. Impressed with its detailed instructions. C. Discouraged by its complex structure. D. Shocked for her own lack of hand skills. 14. According to Smith, the reconstruction work is done mainly to _____________. A. restore old workshops B. understand the craftsmen C. improve visual effects D. inspire the philosophers 15. Why does the author mention museums? A. To reveal the beauty of ancient objects. B. To present the findings of old science. C. To highlight the importance of antiques. D. To emphasise the values of hand skills. 16. Which would be the best title for this passage? A. Craftsmen Set the Trends for Artists B. Craftsmanship Leads to New Theories C. Craftsmanship Makes Better Scientists D. Craftsmen Reshape the Future of Science 13. D 14. B 15. D 16. C 【分析】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述科学家Paula Smith致力于对古代手工技能的研究，认为科学家如果能够把古代的手工技能和现代的科学方法结合起来，就能够创造更大成就。 13. 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“But Smith was struck mainly by the fact that she didn't truly grasp any of the skills the author described. "You simply can't get an understanding of that handwork by reading about it," she says.” 让史密斯震惊的主要是，她并没有真正掌握作者所描述的任何技能。她说:“你根本无法通过阅读来了解这些手工作品。” 由此可知读完这份法国手稿，这种手工技能让史密斯感到震惊，故选D。 14. 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Reconstructing the work of the craftsmen（工匠）who lived centuries ago can reveal how they viewed the world, what objects filled their homes, ” 重建几个世纪前工匠的作品，可以揭示他们如何看待世界，他们的家里有什么物件。由此可知，重建工作主要是为了了解工匠。故选B。 15. 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“The work has also brought insights for museums, Smith says. One must know how on object was made in order to preserve it. What's more, reconstructions might be the only way to know what treasures looked like before time wore them down.” 史密斯说，这项工作也给博物馆带来了深刻的见解。为了保存它，一个人必须知道一件物品是如何制成的。更重要的是，重建可能是唯一的方法，以了解宝藏磨损之前的样子。因此可知，博物馆要想很好保存物品，必须要知道这件物品是如何制成的，也是在强调手工技能的价值，故选D。 16. 主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段“If we can rediscover the values of hands-on experience and craftwork, Smith says, we can marry the best of our modern insights with the handiness of our ancestors. ”史密斯说，如果我们能重新发现实践经验和工艺的价值，我们就能将现代的最好见解与我们祖先的灵巧结合起来。由此可知本文的中心思想就在于如果科学家能把古代的手工技巧同现代的理论结合起来，就能够获得更多的成就。C选项Craftsmanship Makes Better Scientists工艺造就了更好的科学家，符合文章主题，适合做标题，故选C。 【点睛】标题猜测题。属于主旨大意题的一种，标题应位于文章之首，概括文章内容，点明文章主题。它可以是单词，短语，或句子。确定文章标题，第一，标题要与主题密切相关；其次，看标题是否能概括全文内容，不能只概括短文中的某些事实或细节；第三，标题范围不应太大或太小；最后，标题应新颖，概括性强并且精炼。小题4中C选项概括文中主旨大意，与主题密切相关，故选C。 模拟专区：做好题才有好成绩！练速度，补漏洞，强信心！ （23-24高二下·北京丰台·期末）At an airport I overheard an old man and his daughter in their last moments together. They had announced her plane’s departure and standing near the door, he said to his daughter, “I love you, I wish you enough.” She said, “Daddy, our life together has been more than enough. Your love is all I ever needed. I wish you enough, too, Daddy. ” They kissed good-bye and she left. He walked over toward the window where I was seated. Standing there I could see he wanted and needed to cry. I tried not to intrude on his privacy, but he welcomed me in by asking, “Did you ever say good-bye to someone knowing it would be forever?” “Yes, I have,” I replied. Saying that brought back memories I had of expressing my love and appreciation for all my Dad had done for me. Recognizing that his days were limited, I took the time to tell him face to face how much he meant to me. So I knew what this man was experiencing. “Forgive me for asking, but why is this a forever good-bye?” I asked. “I am old and she lives much too far away. I have challenges ahead and the reality is, her next trip back will be for my funeral,” he said. “When you were saying good-bye I heard you say, ‘I wish you enough. ‘May I ask what that means?” He began to smile. “That’s a wish that has been handed down from other generations. My parents used to say it to everyone. ”He paused for a moment and looking up as if trying to remember it in detail, he smiled even more. “When we said ‘I wish you enough’, we were wanting the other person to have a life filled with enough good things to sustain them, ”he continued and then turning toward me, he shared the following as if he were reciting it from memory. “I wish you enough sun to keep your attitude bright. I wish you enough rain to appreciate the sun more. I wish you enough happiness to keep your spirit alive. I wish you enough pain so that the smallest joys in life appear much bigger. I wish you enough gain to satisfy your wanting. I wish you enough loss to appreciate all that you possess.

I have challenges ahead and the reality is, her next trip back will be for my funeral,” he said. (“我老了，她住得太远了。我面临着挑战，而现实是，她下次回来将是参加我的葬礼。”)”可知，老人知道自己可能无法活到女儿下次回来的时候，因此这可能是他们最后一次见面，所以老人想哭。故选C。 2．推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Standing there I could see he wanted and needed to cry. I tried not to intrude on his privacy, but he welcomed me in by asking, “Did you ever say good-bye to someone knowing it would be forever?” “Yes, I have,” I replied. (站在那里，我看得出他想哭，也需要哭。我尽量不去侵犯他的隐私，但他欢迎我，问我：“你有没有跟一个明知要永远再见的人说再见？”我回答说：“是的。”)”和第四段“Saying that brought back memories I had of expressing my love and appreciation for all my Dad had done for me. Recognizing that his days were limited, I took the time to tell him face to face how much he meant to me. So I knew what this man was experiencing. (这句话勾起了我对父亲为我所做的一切表达爱和感激的回忆。意识到他的日子不多了，我花时间当面告诉他，他对我来说有多重要。所以我知道这个人正在经历什么。)”可知，作者提到自己的父亲是因为他曾经也有过向父亲表达爱与感激的经历，认识到父亲的日子有限，亲自面对面地告诉父亲他对自己的意义。这表明作者对老人的感受有着深刻的理解。故选C。 3．推理判断题。根据最后一段““I wish you enough sun to keep your attitude bright.

He had already had his first show at a local arts centre. Yet he wanted more-specifically to start showing his work in a juried exhibition, where art experts would evaluate and select pieces in a competitive review process. That’s when he hit a barrier, discovering in the very last line of a multi-page application that the minimum age for submission was 18. That rejection became a driver for creation. “There was a gap in the art world, and I thought it’d be really cool if I could provide the opportunity to more young artists,” says Alex, now 15. With the support of his parents, Alex rented a storefront and founded Little EGG Gallery, a commercial studio only for underage artists. The gallery charges a small hanging fee for any displayed work and takes a 15 percent commission fee on sales. In turn, Little EGG helps promote young talent by showcasing their work. Not long after the opening, Henry Cameron, a professor and artist, happened upon the gallery while walking in his neighbourhood. An exhibition was being installed at the time, and some of Alex’s own work was on the walls. A connection was formed, and Alex asked Henry to help judge an upcoming competition. The first juried show was last spring, and the top three winners each received a $50 cash prize. Given how busy Alex is with school, life and his own art, Little EGG is mostly open by appointment only, but he’s still devoted to growing the gallery with seasonal and themed shows scheduled a few times a year. Leo Smith, a 17-year-old artist from Toronto says it’s about time that a venue like Little EGG existed. “As young artists, we don’t get as much credit as I think we’re due, and we also don’t get many opportunities to showcase the amount of work we put into the art.” 5．What happened when Alex was 13? A．He was rejected by a juried exhibition. B．He missed the deadline for submission. C．He had his first show at a local art club. D．He became a working artist successfully. 6．What do we know about Little EGG? A．It is free of charge. B．It is open on weekdays. C．It is aimed at young talents. D．It holds competitions regularly. 7．Which of the following words can best describe Alex? A．Ambitious and creative. B．Loyal and determined. C．Modest and sympathetic. D．Honest and hard-working. 8．What can we learn from the story? A．Art connects people worldwide. B．One good turn deserves another. C．Failures can drive positive change. D．Chance favours the prepared mind. 【答案】5．A 6．C 7．A 8．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要介绍的是13岁的小艺术家Alex申请参加在一个评审展览时因年龄小被拒绝，于是他创办了一个专门为未成年艺术家提供展示机会的画廊Little EGG。 5．细节理解题。根据首段中的“Yet he wanted more-specifically to start showing his work in a juried exhibition, where art experts would evaluate and select pieces in a competitive review process.

At 80 years old, he was enjoying time in the North Texas community of Callisburg. It’s a small town, with a population of about 300 people. The local school district has two campuses, and supports over 1,100 students in the rural area. Although Gailey had no intention of returning to the workforce, he had no choice when his monthly rent was raised by $400. Since he couldn’t afford that cost, “Mr. James,” as the students call him, went back to the local school and restarted working as a school janitor. Three students decided that they could do something about this situation. Greyson Thurman, Banner Tidwell, and Marti Yusko created a GoFundMe web page and shared his story on TikTok. “No 80-year-old should have to work because they have to,” said Tidwell, “It should be because they want to do it. It bothered us that he had to have a place to work to keep his house.” When the students started the campaign, their goal was to get Mr. James some extra money to help with his rent issues. The page was disabled only two weeks later, raising an impressive $270,000. “It’s amazing,” said Jason Hooper, the principal of Callisburg High School. “The need was met because of three kind kids—of all our students who offered help.” Many of the donations to the GoFundMe page are from students and staff at Callisburg, with most of them only $5 or $10 each. “It is crazy to see something like that. We knew people would have wanted to help,” said Yusko, “We didn’t know it would blow up.” At the time of researching and writing this story, Mr. James said that he was ready to return to retirement. “It’s what we’re about,” Hooper said, “We’re a small town. We’re family. We don’t always agree, but we love and help our own.” 9．James Gailey returned to work mainly because of ________. A．his difficulty in paying his rent B．his boredom of the retiring life C．his desire to continue his career D．his ambition to improve himself 10．What did the three kids do for James Gailey? A．Finding him a job at campus B．Giving him support for work. C．Raising money on the website. D．Turning to the school principle. 11．How did Yusko feel after the campaign ? A．Doubtful. B．Astonished. C．Regretful. D．Confused. 12．What can we learn from the story? A．It’s never too late to learn. B．A good turn deserves another. C．Chance favors the prepared mind. D．A small act can make a difference. 【答案】9．A 10．C 11．B 12．D 【导语】文章的体裁为记叙文。通过讲述老人詹姆斯·盖利因无法支付房租而不得不重返工作岗位的故事，揭示了三名学生发起的筹款活动给他带来的帮助以及小善举所能带来的影响。文章通过这一真实事件展现了爱与帮助的力量，强调了小事可以产生积极的影响。 9．细节理解题。根据第二段“Although Gailey had no intention of returning to the workforce, he had no choice when his monthly rent was raised by $400. Since he couldn’t afford that cost, “Mr. James,” as the students call him, went back to the local school and restarted working as a school janitor. (尽管盖利没有打算重新投入工作，但当他的每月房租涨价了400美元时，他别无选择。因为他支付不起这笔费用，“詹姆斯先生”就回到当地学校重新开始做学校清洁工。)”可知，他的月租金提高了400美元，他无法承担。因为他无法支付房租，别无选择，盖利重返工作。故选A项。 10．细节理解题。根据第三段“Greyson Thurman, Banner Tidwell, and Marti Yusko created a GoFundMe web page and shared his story on TikTok. (格雷森·瑟曼、班纳·提德威尔和玛蒂·尤斯科创建了一个GoFundMe网页，并在TikTok上分享了他的故事。) ”和第四段“When the students started the campaign, their goal was to get Mr. James some extra money to help with his rent issues. (当学生开始这项运动时，他们的目标是为盖利筹集一些额外的钱以帮助解决他的租金问题。) ”表明格雷森·瑟曼、班纳·蒂德威尔和玛蒂·尤斯科创建了一个GoFundMe网页，并在TikTok上分享了他的故事，在网站上为詹姆斯·盖利筹集资金帮助解决他的房租问题。故选C项。 11．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“It is crazy to see something like that. We knew people would have wanted to help,” said Yusko, “We didn’t know it would blow up.” (“看到这样的事情真是太疯狂了。我们知道人们会想要帮助，”尤斯科说，“我们没想到会爆炸般的发展。”) ”表明募捐活动的效果超出预期，让尤斯科感到惊讶。故选B项。 12．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Mr. James said that he was ready to return to retirement. (詹姆斯先生表示他准备重新退休。)”表明三名学生发起筹款活动的小举动对詹姆斯先生的生活产生了重大影响，年迈的詹姆斯先生不需要工作了，可以过上退休生活。说明即使是小小的善举也能产生积极影响。故选D项。 （23-24高二下·北京朝阳·期末）It turns out patience isn’t always a virtue. By the time Nalin Kamat was 13, the Toronto teen had been well on his way to becoming a working artist. He had already had his first show at a local arts centre. Yet he wanted more — specifically to start showing his works in a juried exhibition, where art experts would evaluate and select pieces in a competitive review process, ensuring that only the most outstanding works are included in the exhibition. That’s when he ran into a problem, discovering in the very last line of a multi-page application that the minimum age for submission was 18. That rejection became a fuel for creation. “As young artists, we don’t get as much credit as I think we deserve, and we also don’t get many opportunities to showcase the amount of work we put into the art. I thought it’d be really cool if I could provide the opportunity for more young artists,” says Nalin, now 15. With the support of his parents, in January 2023, Nalin founded Little EGG Gallery, a commercial studio only for underage artists. The gallery, which is now profitable enough, charges a small fee for any displayed work and takes a 15 percent service fee on sales. In turn, Little EGG Gallery helps promote young talents by showcasing their works. Not long after opening, David Griffin, a professor and artist from Ontario College of Art and Design University, happened to come across the gallery while walking with his wife in their neighbourhood. Upon meeting Nalin, Griffin says he understood that he was speaking with someone special, “a strong young artist with a really excellent idea, which was to create a space for showing the local community the easy, natural genius of young people.” A connection was formed, and Nalin asked Griffin to help judge an upcoming competition. The first juried show was last spring, and the top three winners each received a $50 cash prize. Five-year-old Jack Gamble won for his abstract painting titled Pokemon. Given how busy Nalin is with school life and his own art, Little EGG Gallery is mostly open by appointment only, but he’s still devoted to growing the gallery with seasonal and themed shows scheduled a few times a year. Nalin believes that young artists are free to be more creative. In an interview with CBC Kids News, he said, “I think when you’re younger, you have more creativity. You see beauty in more things and when you get older, it kind of stops. I don’t want to see anyone prevented from creating their art. 13．According to the passage, the juried exhibition ______. A．favours works of art experts B．charges a small fee for entries C．sets no age limit for submission D．displays professionally selected works 14．How did Nalin Kamat feel after being rejected? A．Anxious. B．Motivated. C．Regretful. D．Confused. 15．Why did Nalin Kamat found Little EGG Gallery? A．To work with other young artists. B．To meet his parents’ expectations. C．To offer underage artists a platform. D．To hold an exhibition of his own works. 16．What can we learn from Nalin Kamat’s story? A．Wisdom arises from experience. B．Everything comes to those who wait. C．Luck matters to one’s career success. D．Innovative thoughts increase one’s chances. 【答案】13．D 14．B 15．C 16．D 【导语】本文属于记叙文。文章主要讲述了少年Nalin Kamat在面临艺术界年龄限制的挑战后，受到启发创立Little EGG Gallery，为未成年艺术家提供展示平台的故事。 13．细节理解题。由文章第一段中的“Yet he wanted more—specifically to start showing his works in a juried exhibition, where art experts would evaluate and select pieces in a competitive review process, ensuring that only the most outstanding works are included in the exhibition. (然而，他更具体地希望开始在一个评审展览中展示他的作品，在那里，艺术专家将在一个竞争激烈的评审过程中评估和选择作品，确保只有最杰出的作品被包括在展览中。)”可知，评审制度的展览是由艺术专家评估并挑选作品，确保只有最杰出的作品才能参展。故选D。 14．细节理解题。由文章第二段“That rejection became a fuel for creation. “As young artists, we don’t get as much credit as I think we deserve, and we also don’t get many opportunities to showcase the amount of work we put into the art. I thought it’d be really cool if I could provide the opportunity for more young artists,” says Nalin, now 15. (这种拒绝成为了创造的动力。“作为年轻的艺术家，我们没有得到我认为应得的赞誉，我们也没有很多机会展示我们在艺术上付出的努力。我想如果我能为更多的年轻艺术家提供机会，那就太酷了，”现年15岁的Nalin说。)”可知，被拒绝后，Nalin感到受到激励，想要为年轻艺术家提供更多机会。故选B。 15．细节理解题。由文章第二段“That rejection became a fuel for creation. “As young artists, we don’t get as much credit as I think we deserve, and we also don’t get many opportunities to showcase the amount of work we put into the art.

(创新思维增加机会。)”最符合题意。故选D。 （23-24高二下·北京西城·期末）In 2014, a year into her retirement, Morag Warrack found herself in a village hall in the Surrey hills, surrounded by middle-aged men throwing each other on to the floor. “When entering the classroom, I was terrified and thought all these men would be shocked by an old woman walking in,” she says. “The teacher encouraged me to stay and I realized they were all kind and curious about me being there. That was my first experience of learning aikido.” At 59, Warrack, who had recently handed in her resignation, began reading up on mindfulness practices. “The more I looked into mindfulness, the more aikido kept coming up,” she says. “These books were recommending it as a way to connect the mind, body and spirit.” Attracted by the idea, Warrack found a local class where she could take a beginners’ session. Despite her struggles, Warrack kept returning. While her husband and two children were supportive, they weren’t tempted to join in. “They just thought: Mum’s off on one again,” she says. Warrack carried on and, after two years of practice, she began moving up the graded system of belt rankings and noticing a change in herself. “Aikido was making me way more confident,” she says, “Since my reactions got quicker, my balance was better and my coordination (协调性) improved, I had a real understanding of my own body and it became a metaphor (比喻) for how to be in life; how to avoid attack without hurting the other person.” By January 2019, Warrack was determined to achieve her black belt and began training with the only other person in her class who was at the same level as her: a 181cm police officer. “It was a very odd pairing. Not least because he’s so strong and so I had to learn how to use my skills rather than strength against him,” she says. In December 2021, Warrack, at the age of 66, took her black belt test. For 20 minutes, she had to defend her position against attackers one after another before facing the final randori, where four people attack at once. “One guy kicked me and split my lip,” she laughs. “It made me so angry, but that’s what I needed to keep going.” She passed, making her one of the oldest people to achieve an aikido black belt in the UK. 17．How did Morag Warrack feel when she first entered the aikido classroom? A．Curious. B．Disappointed. C．Confident. D．Frightened. 18．After two years of practice, Warrack ________. A．grew more patient B．turned into a better self C．realized her full potential D．became aware of her weakness 19．In order to achieve her black belt, Warrack had to ________. A．polish her skills further B．improve her coordination C．avoid hurting the attackers D．seek support from her family 20．What can we learn from this passage? A．With age comes wisdom. B．The greatest wealth is health. C．It’s always a good time to learn. D．Compete with honor and win with grace. 【答案】17．D 18．B 19．A 20．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了一位名叫Morag Warrack的66岁女性，在退休后开始练习Aikido，并最终在2021年获得了黑带资格，成为英国达到该级别年龄最大的女性之一。她的经历表现了Aikido不仅对身体有好处，还能增强信心和自我意识，她在练习中克服了困难和挑战，展示了坚韧和毅力。 17．细节理解题。根据第一段中“ “When entering the classroom, I was terrified and thought all these men would be shocked by an old woman walking in,” she says. (她说：“当我走进教室时，我吓坏了，我想所有这些男人都会被一个老妇人走进来吓一跳。”)” 可知，Morag Warrack在文章中提到当她第一次进入Aikido教室时，她感到害怕，并认为所有的男人都会对一个老太太的进入感到震惊。因此，她第一次进入空手道教室时的感受是害怕，故选D。 18．推理判断题。第三段中“Warrack carried on and, after two years of practice, she began moving up the graded system of belt rankings and noticing a change in herself. “Aikido was making me way more confident,” she says, “Since my reactions got quicker, my balance was better and my coordination (协调性) improved, I had a real understanding of my own body and it became a metaphor (比喻) for how to be in life; how to avoid attack without hurting the other person.”(Warrack继续练习，在两年的训练后，她开始在腰带等级制度中升级，并注意到自己发生了变化。她说：“Aikido让我变得更加自信，因为我的反应更快了，平衡感更好，协调性也提高了，我真正理解了自己的身体，它成为了一个生活的隐喻，即如何在避免伤害他人的同时避免受到攻击。”)”可知，经过两年的练习，Warrack在腰带等级制度中开始上升，并且注意到了自己的变化。她变得更加自信，反应更快，平衡更好，协调性也提高了。这表明她成为了一个更好的自己。故选B。 19．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“By January 2019, Warrack was determined to achieve her black belt and began training with the only other person in her class who was at the same level as her: a 181cm police officer. (到2019年1月，Warrack决心达到黑带水平，并开始和班里唯一一个和她水平相同的人一起训练：一个身高181cm的警察。)”可知，她在2019年决定获得黑带，并开始与班上唯一一个和她水平一样的人（一位181厘米的警察）一起训练。这表示她需要更深入地磨练自己的技能以达到黑带的水平。选A. 20．推理判断题。文章中讲述了Morag Warrack在退休后开始学习Aikido，并成功获得了黑带的故事。这表明无论何时学习都是一件好事，因此C选项“It’s always a good time to learn.(无论何时去学习都是好的。)”符合文章的主旨。故选C。 （2024·北京朝阳·一模）My birth was a little more dramatic than the standard way a baby enters the world. I was born missing my left hand. Indeed, my limb (手臂) difference could have been a disaster if it hadn’t been for what happened next. A nurse placed me in my mother’s arms and instructed, “You will take her home. You will love her and treat her as normal.” That is exactly what happened. I played sports, acted in theater, excelled in school and had playdates with friends. While I did get some stares and “polite” questions about my disability, I was lucky because I wasn’t made fun of for it. However, that fact that I was different hit me hard my first day of high school. I was 13, an age when kids are already very self-conscious and the need to fit in is intensified. I remember one of the other kids on the school bus stared just a little too long at my left arm. I felt a sudden urge to hide my hand, so I slipped it into my pocket. I told myself that I’d just hide it that one day, while I was trying to make friends. But one day of hiding turned into a week, a month, and years — 25 of them to be exact. When I was 38 years old, tired of hiding and lonely, I met someone special and invited him in. The combination of me finally feeling ready to unhide and his willingness to go through the unhiding process with me was exactly what I needed. For the first time in my life, I allowed someone to really hold my limb, look at it, touch it, love it — love me. I saw my limb difference as something unique about me, something that should be shown, not hidden. It was a transformational experience, and I learned to love me too. It changed how I lived my entire life and made me happier. I also discovered and joined the Lucky Fin Project, an organisation devoted to people with all types of disabilities. Hiding things, especially from loved ones, is tiring and lonely, and it prevents us from getting help and support. It’s time to change that. 21．What was the author’s childhood like? A．She had no social interactions with friends. B．She was raised with care and treated normally. C．She faced some challenges in school activities. D．She was upset about the attention to her difference. 22．What happened to the author when she was 13 years old? A．She began to ignore her disability. B．She suffered prejudice from some kids. C．She started hiding herself away from friends. D．She became sensitive due to her self-awareness. 23．How did the author change when she stopped hiding? A．She started to open up and be herself. B．She met someone who cured her disability. C．She was fed up with the company of others. D．She reduced involvement in the disability group. 24．What can we learn from this passage? A．Misfortune is a good teacher. B．Disability is not a barrier to success. C．Self-acceptance can lead to self-love. D．Nothing beats the feeling of being loved. 【答案】21．B 22．D 23．A 24．C 【导语】本文为一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者生来残疾，小时候被好好照顾，直到中学时自我意识觉醒对周围的目光变得敏感，将自己隐藏起来，到38岁时决定敞开做自己，不再隐藏，接收自己的不完美。作者意识到只有自我接纳，才能好好爱自己。 21．细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Indeed, my limb difference could have been a disaster if it hadn’t been for what happened next. A nurse placed me in my mother’s arms and instructed, “You will take her home. You will love her and treat her as normal.”(事实上，如果没有接下来发生的事情，我的肢体差异可能是一场灾难。一位护士把我放在母亲的怀里，嘱咐我说:“你带她回家。你会爱她，像对待正常人一样对待她。”)”及第二段“That is exactly what happened. I played sports, acted in theater, excelled in school and had playdates with friends. While I did get some stares and “polite” questions about my disability, I was lucky because I wasn’t made fun of for it.(事实正是如此。我参加体育运动，在剧院表演，在学校表现优异，和朋友一起玩。虽然我确实得到了一些关于我的残疾的凝视和“礼貌”的问题，但我很幸运，因为我没有因此而被取笑)”可知，作者虽然天生残疾，但是在童年时代受到了精心照料，受到正常的对待。故选B。 22．细节理解题。根据文章第三段“I was 13, an age when kids are already very self-conscious and the need to fit in is intensified. I remember one of the other kids on the school bus stared just a little too long at my left arm. I felt a sudden urge to hide my hand, so I slipped it into my pocket.(我13岁，这个年纪的孩子已经很有自我意识了，融入社会的需求也越来越强烈。我记得校车上的一个孩子盯着我的左臂看了太久。我突然有一种想把手藏起来的冲动，于是我把它塞进了口袋)”可知，当作者13岁的时候，由于有了自我意识，作者对于周围的目光十分敏感。故选D。 23．细节理解题。根据文章倒数第三段“The combination of me finally feeling ready to unhide and his willingness to go through the unhiding process with me was exactly what I needed. For the first time in my life, I allowed someone to really hold my limb, look at it, touch it, love it—love me. I saw my limb difference as something unique about me, something that should be shown, not hidden.(我终于觉得自己准备好了袒露自己，而他愿意和我一起经历袒露的过程，这正是我所需要的。这是我人生中第一次，我允许别人真正地握住我的胳膊，看它，摸它，爱它——爱我。我认为我的肢体差异是我的独特之处，应该被展示出来，而不是被隐藏起来)”可知，当作者停止隐藏时，她开始敞开心扉，做自己。故选A。 24．推理判断题。根据全文内容，作者生来残疾，小时候被好好照顾，直到中学时自我意识觉醒对周围的目光变得敏感，将自己隐藏起来，到38岁时决定敞开做自己，不再隐藏，接收自己的不完美，结合倒数第二段“It was a transformational experience, and I learned to love me too.(这是一次转变的经历，我也学会了爱自己)”及最后一段“Hiding things, especially from loved ones, is tiring and lonely, and it prevents us from getting help and support.(隐藏事情，尤其是对所爱的人，是很累和孤独的，它阻止我们得到帮助和支持)”可推知，作者在成长过程中感悟到了，接收自己才能爱自己。由此推知，从文章中我们知道了“自我接纳会导致自爱”。故选C。 （23-24高二上·北京石景山·期末）My House My mother moved a lot when she was growing up on account of Grandpa being in the army. She hated having to adjust to new schools and make new friends. That’s why I thought she was joking when she put forward the idea of moving. But she was completely serious. “For just the two of us,” my mother said, “an apartment in the city will suit our needs much better.” Personally, I think she’s lost her mind. I guess I can understand why she would want to move, but what about me and what this house means to me? I suppose if you looked at my house, you might think it was just another country house. But to me it is anything but standard. I moved into this house with my parents ten years ago. I can still remember that first day like it was yesterday. The first thing I noticed was the big front yard. To me it seemed like an ocean of grass — I couldn’t wait to dive in. The backyard was full of gnarled (扭曲的，粗糙的) and scary trees that talk on windy nights. But I grew to like them and the shadows they cast in my room. My father and I even built a small treehouse, where I often go to remember all the wonderful times we had before my father’s death. This house is special — maybe only to me — but special nevertheless. It’s the little seemingly insignificant things that make this house so special to me: the ice-cold tile floors that make me tremble on midnight; the smell of my father’s pipe that still exists: the towering bookcases of my mother; the view outside my bedroom window. This house holds too many memories, memories which would be lost if we gave it up. 25．Why did the author’s mother decide to move? A．Because she hated the countryside. B．Because Grandpa was on constant move. C．Because Dad’s death made her lose her mind. D．Because she thought a city flat more fit for them. 26．What impressed the author when she first moved into the house? A．The treehouse. B．The green grass. C．The big trees. D．The cold floors. 27．How did the author let us feel that the house was special to her? A．By arguing whether the house was standard. B．By explaining why the house suited their needs. C．By describing the small things related to her house. D．By comparing the differences between country and city life. 【答案】25．D 26．B 27．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了作者农村的家对作者的特殊意义，这所房子承载了许多回忆，而她不想丢下这些回忆，所以不愿搬家。 25．细节理解题。根据第一段中的“‘For just the two of us,’ my mother said, ‘an apartment in the city will suit our needs much better.’(‘就我们两个人而言，’我母亲说，‘城市里的公寓会更适合我们的需求。’)”可知，因为作者的母亲认为城市的一间公寓更加适合她们两个，所以决定搬家。故选D。 26．细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The first thing I noticed was the big front yard. To me it seemed like an ocean of grass—I couldn’t wait to dive in.(我首先注意到的是大前院。对我来说，这就像一片草地的海洋——我迫不及待地想扑进去。)”可知，当作者最初搬进这所房子时，给她留下深刻印象的是前院的绿草地。故选B。 27．推理判断题。根据第二段中的“I can still remember that first day like it was yesterday. The first thing I noticed was the big front yard. To me it seemed like an ocean of grass—I couldn’t wait to dive in. The backyard was full of gnarled(扭曲的，粗糙的) and scary trees that talk on windy nights. But I grew to like them and the shadows they cast in my room. My father and I even built a small treehouse, where I often go to remember all the wonderful times we had before my father’s death.(我还记得第一天，就像昨天一样。我首先注意到的是大前院。对我来说，这就像一片草地的海洋——我迫不及待地想扑进去。后院里长满了扭曲的可怕的树，在刮风的夜晚它们会说话。但我渐渐喜欢上了它们和它们在我房间里投下的阴影。我父亲和我甚至建了一个小树屋，我经常去那里回忆父亲去世前我们所有的美好时光。)”和第三段“This house is special—maybe only to me—but special nevertheless. It’s the little seemingly insignificant things that make this house so special to me: the ice-cold tile floors that make me tremble on midnight; the smell of my father’s pipe that still exists: the towering bookcases of my mother; the view outside my bedroom window.(这所房子很特别——也许只对我来说——但无论如何都很特别。正是那些看似微不足道的小事让这所房子对我来说如此特别：冰冷的瓷砖地板让我在午夜颤抖；我父亲烟斗的味道仍然存在：我母亲高耸的书架；我卧室窗外的景色。)”可推测出，作者通过描述与房子有关的小事来展现出作者对房子的特别情感。故选C。 （23-24高二上·北京西城·期末） When I was an undergraduate student studying ecology, I was used to discovering overall trends in large amounts of data. The thought of getting my hands dirty in the field never seemed interesting to me. I saw it as a boring and repetitive task. But I knew potential graduate schools would likely view my lack of field experience as a hole in my application letter. My mother also thought I should work for a few years to explore my interests before pursuing further education. So  I decided to apply for field-based summer positions after graduation. After landing a job assessing the sage grouse habitat in Utah, I found myself in the company of Sherel, a 75-year-old botanist and the leader of our field crew. On the very first day of the fieldwork, I noticed a special plant on the field. “Wonderful! Looks like you’ve got a Mahonia repens,” Sherel shouted excitedly. I gently touched the plant with yellow flowers by my feet, “This one here? How can you tell it’s a Mahonia?” He paused briefly to admire the plant and then began his energetic description of the plant’s typical features. That evening, while we were watching the sunset together, I texted my childhood friend. “Day I was actually kind of fun,” I started, “but we’ll see how long it takes before I get bored from just identifying plants in the field all day.” But as the weeks of fieldwork rolled by, the boredom I had expected never arrived. I came home from the field each night with sore legs and a sunburned neck, excited by the day’s finds. By picking Sherel’s brain about different species of animals and plants, I discovered field days are about much more than identification. Each day is an opportunity to learn a little bit more. When the summer was over, I found myself in another field job, this time surveying forest in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. I’m now a third-year Ph. D．student in ecology. Fieldwork may be buggy, wet, and physically demanding, but working with others helps keep spirits high and the physical activity helps me stay sharp. And it constantly reminds me that any task can present an opportunity to learn — as long as I am open to it. 28．Why did the author join the fieldwork in Utah? A．To find out overall trends in data. B．To assess the sage grouse habitat. C．To improve his application letter. D．To realize his mother’s dream. 29．On the first day of the fieldwork in Utah, the author ______. A．argued with Sherel B．complained to his friend C．became a leader of his group D．discovered a Mahonia repens 30．What does the author think of fieldwork now? A．Easy but interesting. B．Boring but fruitful. C．Tiring but meaningful. D．Repetitive but demanding. 31．What can we learn from the passage? A．We should explore fun in daily tasks. B．We should be open to new experiences. C．We should respect the people around us. D．We should be determined about our goals. 【答案】28．C 29．D 30．C 31．B 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了，作者是一名研究生态学的本科生，不愿意进行田野里实地研究，在母亲的劝说下，为进一步深造做准备，作者在毕业后申请了实地暑期职位，这段经历让作者明白任何任务都可以提供学习的机会。 28．细节理解题。由第一段中“When I was an undergraduate student studying ecology, I was used to discovering overall trends in large amounts of data. The thought of getting my hands dirty in the field never seemed interesting to me. (当我还是一名研究生态学的本科生时，我习惯于在大量数据中发现总体趋势。一想到要在田里弄脏自己的手，我就觉得没什么意思)”和“But I knew potential graduate schools would likely view my lack of field experience as a hole in my application letter. My mother also thought I should work for a few years to explore my interests before pursuing further education. (但我知道潜在的研究生院可能会认为我缺乏实地经验会是我申请信中的一个漏洞。我母亲也认为我应该工作几年，探索自己的兴趣，然后再继续深造)”可知，作者虽是一名研究生态学的本科生，但没有实地经验，这于他申请研究院是不利的，为了提升自己的申请信，作者才参加犹他州的实地研究。故选C项。 29．细节理解题。由第二段中“On the very first day of the fieldwork, I noticed a special plant on the field. “Wonderful! Looks like you’ve got a Mahonia repens,” Sherel shouted excitedly. (在实地考察的第一天，我注意到田野上有一种特殊的植物。“太棒了！看起来你得到了一株野Mahonia repens (小檗科)，”Sherel兴奋地喊道)”可知，在犹他州实地考察的第一天，作者发现了一株Mahonia repens (小檗科)。故选D项。 30．推理判断题。由最后一段中“Fieldwork may be buggy, wet, and physically demanding, but working with others helps keep spirits high and the physical activity helps me stay sharp. (实地研究可能很麻烦，很潮湿，对体力要求很高，但与他人一起工作有助于保持高昂的精神状态，体育活动有助于我保持敏捷)”可知，作者认为实地研究对体力要求很高但有好处，可得出它是累人但有意义的。选C项。 31．推理判断题。由倒数第二段中“I discovered field days are about much more than identification. Each day is an opportunity to learn a little bit more. (我发现实地研究的日子不仅仅是识别。每一天都是学习更多知识的机会)”和最后一段中“And it constantly reminds me that any task can present an opportunity to learn — as long as I am open to it. (它不断提醒我，任何任务都可以提供学习的机会——只要我对此持开放态度)”可知，作者通过这段实地研究的日子明白了一个道理：我们应该对新的经验持开放态度，才能有更多的学习机会。故选B项。 （23-24高二上·北京顺义·期末）“The living environment in China is perfect for me, and I feel right at home even though my Chinese isn’t fluent. It’s not a difficult task to come to China without fluent Chinese. You can enjoy yourself here.” Since I left Japan, I started my journey in China. These have been my first thoughts on my time here in China. In February 2022, I began learning Chinese. Almost a year later, I found myself in Beijing, the capital of China. Before coming here, I had attended Chinese classes, and I could sense my progress in the language. As you might expect, studying for just one year wasn’t enough to say I was fluent in Chinese, and to be honest, I’m not there yet. But full skills in the language are not necessary to enjoy many attractions of life in China. The one thing that truly makes me feel comfortable and less lonely is making friends and joining in conversations. At Tsinghua University, where I studied in China, I made friends with many Chinese young people and enjoyed spending time with them for meals and other activities. They would often ask me to hang out together and go to KTV, which was a popular form among Chinese youth. During breaks from study, I often started travelling across China. I’ve visited cities like Shanghai, Chongqing and Changsha. Although I have experienced travelling on overnight trains for over 12 hours several times and visited unfamiliar cities, I never feel fearful or unwelcome as a foreigner. Chinese people are warm and welcoming to foreigners, and eager to join in conversations. I once joined in community activities in Northwest China’s Gansu province to gain a deeper understanding of China’s countryside areas and help the development of local communities and education. As a volunteer teacher at a local school, I shared traditional Japanese culture such as pop music and languages with the students. Since Japanese language came from Chinese, they are similar somehow. I told the students we could see the connections between our cultures through our daily language use. If you want to understand and experience the life in China, you’ll find a way to do so. I hope that many foreigners who may not speak Chinese fluently can still enjoy themselves here, just as I have. 32．How did the writer feel about living in China without fluent Chinese? A．Challenged. B．Bored. C．Nervous. D．Easy. 33．What mainly helped the writer get used to the life in China? A．Speaking fluent Chinese. B．Studying in a Chinese university. C．Having talks with Chinese friends. D．Getting to know many Chinese places. 34．The author joined in community activities in Gansu to ______. A．gain a deeper understanding of China’s city areas B．share traditional Japanese culture to the local people C．find out the differences between Japanese and Chinese D．help the development of local communities and education 35．According to the passage, which word can best describe the writer? A．Active. B．Funny. C．Humorous. D．Honest. 36．What can we learn from this passage? A．Japanese language didn’t come from Chinese. B．We may all feel fearful when visiting new cities. C．Language may not be a big problem when living in China. D．Hanging out to a KTV is necessary when visiting a new place. 【答案】32．D 33．C 34．D 35．A 36．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，作者通过亲身经历告诉读者，即使汉语不流利，外国人依然能在中国享受精彩的生活。 32．细节理解题。根据第一段中的“The living environment in China is perfect for me, and I feel right at home even though my Chinese isn’t fluent.(中国的生活环境非常适合我，即使我的中文不流利，我也有宾至如归的感觉。)”可知，作者的中文不流利，但他感觉在中国的生活很容易。故选D。 33．细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The one thing that truly makes me feel comfortable and less lonely is making friends and joining in conversations.(真正让我感到舒适和不那么孤独的一件事是交朋友和参加对话。)”可知，和中国朋友交流让作者习惯了中国的生活。故选C。 34．细节理解题。根据第五段中的“I once joined in community activities in Northwest China’s Gansu province to gain a deeper understanding of China’s countryside areas and help the development of local communities and education.(我曾经参加过中国西北部甘肃省的社区活动，以更深入地了解中国的农村地区，并帮助当地社区和教育的发展。)”可知，作者参加甘肃的社区活动是为了帮助当地社区和教育的发展。故选D。 35．推理判断题。根据第三段中的“At Tsinghua University, where I studied in China, I made friends with many Chinese young people and enjoyed spending time with them for meals and other activities. They would often ask me to hang out together and go to KTV, which was a popular form among Chinese youth.(在我在中国学习的地方，清华大学，我结交了许多中国年轻人，喜欢和他们花时间一起吃饭和做其他活动。他们经常让我一起出去玩，去KTV，这是中国年轻人的一种流行形式。)”、第四段中的“During breaks from study, I often started travelling across China.(放短假时，我经常开始在中国各地旅行。)”、第五段中的“I once joined in community activities in Northwest China’s Gansu province to gain a deeper understanding of China’s countryside areas and help the development of local communities and education.(我曾经参加过中国西北部甘肃省的社区活动，以更深入地了解中国的农村地区，并帮助当地社区和教育的发展。)”可知，作者结交许多中国朋友，和他们一起做各种事情，放假时会走遍中国旅行，还参加社区活动，由此可推测出，作者是一个非常积极的人。故选A。 36．推理判断题。根据第一段中的“It’s not a difficult task to come to China without fluent Chinese. You can enjoy yourself here.(来中国时不会流利的中文不是一件困难的事情。你可以在这里玩得很开心。)”和第二段中的“But full skills in the language are not necessary to enjoy many attractions of life in China.(但是，要在中国享受生活的许多乐趣，完全掌握语言技能并不是必要的。)”可推测出，在中国生活时，语言并不是一个大问题。故选C。 （23-24高二上·北京昌平·期末）Running with Heart My name was missing from the list. All my friends had made the cheer-leading team. But somehow my name was not there. I felt lost and embarrassed. Knowing that next year would bring a new round of try-outs, I began practicing routines on my own, hoping to become a cheerleader the next year. But my dad suggested that I get involved in running track — just to try it out for a year. I had always been the fastest kid to run a mile in gym class, so I figured that I might as well sign up for running for just one season. I had no idea what I was getting myself into. In the first race on the track team, I took the last place. Race after race, I continued to place last and I felt my lungs burning from the effort. I wanted to quit, feeling like a failure. But my dad reminded me that once you are committed to something, you should always follow through. So I finished my first track season, placing last in every race. The next year came. Although running was not a popular activity, like cheer-leading was at our school, I signed up again to run the long-distance races. I wanted to challenge myself. Within one year, I became the fastest female cross-country runner on our school’s team. A few years later, I placed 3rd in the Ohio State meet. Not only that, but I was offered an athletic scholarship for college. Classmates may have laughed at me for choosing running over cheer-leading, but I didn’t care. I wasn’t running track to be cool or to prove anything to anyone else. Running made me proud of who I was. When I chose to be a runner, I chose to be true to myself. We all make that choice every day — we can be who we were born to be or we can simply follow the crowd. For me, I am happiest to be...just me. 37．After failing to make the cheer-leading team, the author ________. A．wanted to quit B．blamed her father C．turned to her friends D．continued to practice 38．The author managed to finish her first track season mainly because she ________. A．wanted to prove herself B．was inspired by her father C．got an athletic scholarship D．performed well in the races 39．Which of the following words can best describe the author? A．Confident and honest. B．Creative and ambitious. C．Generous and committed. D．Hardworking and determined. 40．In the passage, the author mainly wants to show that we should ________. A．follow others’ opinions B．try out for popular activities C．appreciate who we really are D．help those who are in trouble 【答案】37．D 38．B 39．D 40．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者从参加跑步比赛的最后一名，经过不懈的努力最终成为跑步能手，并从中感悟我们要做自己而不是随大流。 37．细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Knowing that next year would bring a new round of try-outs, I began practicing routines on my own, hoping to become a cheerleader the next year.(知道明年会有新一轮的试训，我开始自己的常规练习，希望来年能成为一名啦啦队队长)”可知，在没能成为啦啦队队长后，作者继续练习。故选D项。 38．细节理解题。根据文章第二段“But my dad reminded me that once you are committed to something, you should always follow through. So I finished my first track season, placing last in every race.(但我爸爸提醒我，一旦你致力于某件事，你就应该坚持到底。所以我完成了我的第一个田径赛季，在每一场比赛中都排在最后)”可知，作者之所以能完成她的第一个田径赛季，主要是因为她受到了父亲的激励。故选B项。 39．推理判断题。根据文章第二段“In the first race on the track team, I took the last place. Race after race, I continued to place last and I felt my lungs burning from the effort. I wanted to quit, feeling like a failure. But my dad reminded me that once you are committed to something, you should always follow through. So I finished my first track season, placing last in every race.(在田径队的第一场比赛中，我得了最后一名。一场接一场的比赛，我仍然是最后一名，我感到我的肺在努力燃烧。我想退出，感觉自己很失败。但我父亲提醒我，一旦你承诺了一件事，你就应该一直坚持到底。所以我完成了我的第一个赛道赛季，每场比赛都是最后一名。)”可知，作者是个努力刻苦，意志坚定的人。故选D项。 40．主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段“Running made me proud of who I was. When I chose to be a runner, I chose to be true to myself. We all make that choice every day — we can be who we were born to be or we can simply follow the crowd. For me, I am happiest to be...just me.(跑步让我为自己感到骄傲。当我选择成为一名跑步者时，我选择了忠于自己。我们每天都在做出这样的选择——我们可以成为天生的自己，也可以只是随大流。对我来说，我是最幸福的……只做我自己)”可知，作者想告诉我们应该欣赏真正的自己。故选C项。 （23-24高二上·北京朝阳·期末）My Day of No Plastic Since its invention, plastic has affected every aspect of our lives. It has made possible thousands of conveniences, but it has come with downsides, especially for the environment. In a 24-hour experiment, I tried to live without it to see what plastic stuff we can’t do without and what we may be able to give up. At the start of my no-plastic day, I made my way toward the bathroom, only to stop myself before I went in. “Could you open the door for me?” I asked my wife. “The handle is plastic.” She opened it for me, letting out a “this is going to be a long day” sigh (叹气). My morning routine was a headache. I couldn’t use my toothpaste, toothbrush, shampoo or soap, all of which were made of plastic or put in plastic containers. Getting dressed was also a challenge, given that so many clothing items include plastic. When I went out, I brought along two glass containers and cloth bags of various sizes. I walked to a sandwich shop. “Can you make the salad in this glass container?” I asked. The manager said OK but then rejected my request to use my steel spoon. After lunch, I took the subway to Central Park, which scored me more violations (违规), since I need a MetroCard and the trains themselves have plastic parts. But at least I didn’t sit in one of those plastic seats. Back home, I recorded some of my impressions. By my count, on my day of no plastic, I had made 164 violations. I felt defeated. And also uncertain. The next day I called Gabby Salazar, a scientist who studies what motivates people to support environmental causes, and asked her for advice. “You can drive yourself crazy,” she said, “but it’s not about perfection. It’s about progress.” Believe it or not, individual behavior matters. It adds up. “Remember,” she continued, “it’s not about plastic being the enemy. It’s about single-use as the enemy.” I promised to try, even after my not successful attempt. I’ll start with small things, building up habits. I can take cloth bags to the grocery. I might start packing my glass water bottle and steel spoon. And from there, who knows? 41．The author conducted the 24-hour experiment because ________. A．he was tired of using plastic stuff in his daily life B．he tried to call upon people to ban plastic products C．he wondered how much plastic he consumed each day D．he wanted to figure out how to use plastic stuff wisely 42．Why did the author’s wife sigh? A．Because she didn’t know his intention. B．Because she worried about her husband. C．Because she thought it hard to avoid using plastic. D．Because she didn’t realize the downsides of plastic. 43．How did the author feel after the no-plastic day? A．Astonished. B．Discouraged. C．Relieved. D．Guilty. 44．How would the author deal with plastic in the future? A．Continue the plastic-free experiment. B．Give up the attempt at using less plastic. C．Reduce plastic use through small actions. D．Encourage people to be environmentalists. 【答案】41．D 42．C 43．B 44．C 【导语】这是一篇记叙文，文章主要介绍了作者进行的无塑料日实验。 41．细节理解题。根据第一段中“In a 24-hour experiment, I tried to live without it to see what plastic stuff we can’t do without and what we may be able to give up.(在一个24小时的实验中，我试着在没有塑料的情况下生活，看看哪些塑料是我们不能没有的，哪些是我们可以放弃的)”可知，作者进行一个24小时的实验，因为他想弄清楚如何明智地使用塑料，故选D。 42．细节理解题。根据第二段中“She opened it for me, letting out a ‘this is going to be a long day’ sigh (叹气).(她为我打开了它，发出了一声‘这将是漫长的一天’的叹息)”可知，作者在无塑料日让妻子帮忙开门，妻子发出“这将是漫长的一天”的叹息，说明妻子认为类似的事情会很多，即她认为很难避免使用塑料，故选C。 43．推理判断题。根据倒数第三段中“Back home, I recorded some of my impressions. By my count, on my day of no plastic, I had made 164 violations. I felt defeated. And also uncertain.(回到家，我记录了一些我的感受。据我统计，在我不使用塑料的那一天，我已经违规164次了。我感到失败了。同时也感到不确定)”可知，无塑料日结束后作者感到挫败、泄气。故选B。 44．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“I’ll start with small things, building up habits. I can take cloth bags to the grocery. I might start packing my glass water bottle and steel spoon.(我会从小事做起，培养习惯。我可以拿布袋去杂货店。我可能会开始收拾我的玻璃水瓶和钢勺)”可知，作者未来会从小事中减少塑料的使用，故选C。 （2024·北京朝阳·二模）When I was nine, my best friend nearly choked to death on a gobstopper, a type of hard candy. After several attempts, she coughed up the candy. I haven’t had a gobstopper since and I have carried with me a fear of seeing that scene again. Sadly, as I discovered this week, lightning can strike twice. I was getting off a tube train in London when I noticed a woman coughing. I slowed down, watching her carefully. I had learned that coughing is rarely a sign that something is terribly wrong. Suddenly, the woman stopped coughing, her eyes widened and she bent over. When I went over to ask if she was OK, she looked up at me, panicked, and pointed to her back. I started hitting her back and screaming for help. Despite having watched a few videos, I was terrified that I wouldn’t be able to correctly perform the Heimlich, a first-aid method, and that I would have to walk away with guilt for her death. But it was just the two of us, alone at an underground station; if I didn’t try to help, no one would. Thankfully, much like with my friend, after a few sharp hits, whatever had been stuck in her throat came loose. She thanked me, almost embarrassed, and walked up to the lift. I followed behind her, shaking, with tears in my eyes. By the time we reached the lift, we had both calmed down. She took my hands and thanked me again, before disappearing. She might have been fine without my hurried hits on her back — I may not have actually saved her life — but at least she knew that someone, a stranger whom she would never see again, cared. This experience also taught me about the bystander effect, where people assume others assumed to be available during an emergency, direct help from others is far less likely to will help, leading to inaction. I get it: the fear of making things worse, especially if you have no medical training, is real. Research suggests that when a “medically competent” person is assumed to be available during an emergency, direct help from others is far less likely to occur. Sometimes, though, regardless of who else could be nearby, it may be useful to get involved. So it was with the coughing woman on the tube. 45．How did the friend’s choking incident affect the author? A．She lived with a sense of guilt. B．She realized the importance of first aid. C．She developed a fear of witnessing similar events. D．She deepened her understanding of the bystander effect. 46．What did the author do to help the woman on the tube? A．She relieved the woman’s coughing. B．She walked the woman up to the lift. C．She found a “medically competent” person for her. D．She performed first aid by hitting the woman’s back. 47．Which situation can be described as the bystander effect? A．You volunteered to help an old man carrying a heavy bag. B．You asked your brother who is a doctor to save a dying woman. C．You avoided involvement when seeing an injured lady on the road. D．You walked away after the rescue men asked you to leave the scene. 48．What can we learn from this passage? A．A good tun deserves another. B．Every cloud has a silver lining. C．A friend in need is a friend indeed. D．Action speaks louder than inaction. 【答案】45．C 46．D 47．C 48．D 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者在地铁上帮助了一个被噎住的女性，虽然没帮上大忙，但是对方还是感谢了作者，让作者认识到行动胜于无为。 45．细节理解题。根据第一段“When I was nine, my best friend nearly choked to death on a gobstopper, a type of hard candy. After several attempts, she coughed up the candy. I haven’t had a gobstopper since and I have carried with me a fear of seeing that scene again.(我九岁的时候，我最好的朋友差点被一种叫gobstopper的硬糖噎死。几次尝试后，她咳出了糖果。从那以后，我再也没有吃过gobstopper，我一直害怕再次看到那一幕)”可知，朋友的窒息事件让作者对目睹类似的事件产生了恐惧。故选C。 46．细节理解题。根据第三段“I started hitting her back and screaming for help.(我开始拍打她的背部，大声呼救)”以及“Thankfully, much like with my friend, after a few sharp hits, whatever had been stuck in her throat came loose.(谢天谢地，就像我的朋友一样，在几次猛烈的拍打之后，卡在她喉咙里的东西松动了)”可知，作者通过拍打女人的背部来进行急救，来帮助地铁上的女人。故选D。 47．推理判断题。根据最后一段“This experience also taught me about the bystander effect, where people assume others assumed to be available during an emergency, direct help from others is far less likely to will help, leading to inaction.(这段经历也教会了我“旁观者效应”，即人们认为别人在紧急情况下可以提供帮助，而别人的直接帮助远不太可能提供帮助，从而导致不作为)”可知，C选项“当你在路上看到一位受伤的女士时，你避免了介入”属于旁观者效应。故选C。 48．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“She might have been fine without my hurried hits on her back—I may not have actually saved her life—but at least she knew that someone, a stranger whom she would never see again, cared.(如果没有我匆忙拍她的背，她可能也会没事——我可能并没有真正救了她的命——但至少她知道有个人，一个她再也见不到的陌生人关心她)”以及最后一段“Sometimes, though, regardless of who else could be nearby, it may be useful to get involved.(不过，有时候，不管谁在附近，参与进来可能会很有用)”可知，故事告诉我们行动胜于无为。故选D。 （2024·北京东城·二模）Mark Brown, 57, had been making films for 30 years, but he found himself feeling tired of it. “I thought, things can only go downhill.” Brown knew he needed to do something else — but what? A few years earlier, he had bought his childhood house and moved in. While Brown wondered about a second care er in gardening, he heard a different internal voice. “That child who used to love drawing whispered to me down the years,” he said. Some unacknowledged longing in him was brought out. There was a great oak tree near his home. It had stood out to his young self as a “fantastical giant — a treasure home to birds, insects and animals. There was a cave inside. We used to squeeze in through this hole.” He decided to lock himself away for two months to draw it in all its glorious detail. “While I was drawing,” he said, “there came moments when it was as though the tree was drawing itself. I had spent so much time playing in it. I could feel it. It was deep inside me.” His finished oak held “a real power”, he said. “As you walk towards it, it just grows.” Brown became a tree portraitist. Over the next few years, he travelled across Britain and spent days with the trees selected with the help of the Ancient Tree Forum, the Tree Council and the Woodland Trust. Brown has started work on a 20-drawing series of Britain’s most important ash trees. “These beautiful old ash trees are going to be lost to us,” he says. “They are 350 years old and they are dying because of a disease that we’ve spread.” Drawing is not only an act of care and a demand for preservation, but it “gives me that interface between my passion for the natural world and my creativity,” Brown says. It has also given him a different perspective on the passage of time. “I’m an old man yet I’m only 71, and some of the trees I’ve drawn are 1,000 years old. When I’m with them and when I draw them, I think about the end of my life and the brief nature of human life that passes momentarily beneath them.” 49．At the age of 57, Brown ______. A．moved into his old house B．awakened a childhood interest C．reached the peak of his life D．developed a passion for gardening 50．What can we learn about the oak tree and Brown? A．It helped him start a new career. B．It linked him with the world. C．He built a tree house in it. D．He studied creatures in it. 51．What is Brown working on? A．Setting up tree organizations. B．Looking for cures for tree diseases. C．Drawing to call for protection for trees. D．Travelling to select important trees in Britain. 52．When Brown is with trees, he feels that ______. A．time is endless B．human life is temporary C．nature is dynamic D．life-long learning is crucial 【答案】49．B 50．A 51．C 52．B 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了57岁的马克·布朗唤醒了儿时的兴趣，成为了一名树木肖像画家。 49．细节理解题。根据第一段““That child who used to love drawing whispered to me down the years,” he said. Some unacknowledged longing in him was brought out.(“那个喜欢画画的孩子多年来一直对我耳语，”他说。他心中某种未被承认的渴望被激发出来了)”可知，57岁时，布朗唤醒了儿时的兴趣。故选B。 50．推理判断题。根据第三段“His finished oak held “a real power”, he said. “As you walk towards it, it just grows.” Brown became a tree portraitist.(他说，他的成品橡木拥有“真正的力量”。“当你走向它的时候，它就会越来越大。”布朗成为了一名树木肖像画家)”可知，橡树让布朗开始了新的职业生涯。故选A。 51．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段““These beautiful old ash trees are going to be lost to us,” he says. “They are 350 years old and they are dying because of a disease that we’ve spread.”(“这些美丽的老白蜡树对我们来说将会失去，”他说。“它们已经350岁了，由于我们传播的疾病，它们正在死去。”)”可知，布朗呼吁保护树木。故选C。 52．细节理解题。根据最后一段“When I’m with them and when I draw them, I think about the end of my life and the brief nature of human life that passes momentarily beneath them.(当我和他们在一起，当我画他们的时候，我想到了我生命的终结，以及人类生命的短暂本质，在他们下面转瞬即逝)”可知，当布朗和树在一起时，他觉得人的生命是短暂的。故选B。 （2024·北京通州·模拟预测）When Emma woke up, she knew it was going to be one of those days.

The addition of taking care of yourself, making new friends, learning how to get around campus, and school can sometimes be too much to bear. I would like to attend medical school after my four-year undergraduate. It is well-known that medical schools are very competitive and require extremely high marks. I had always known that I was meant for medical school and worked hard all throughout high school. I engaged in life sciences and knew that I wanted to do a double major in neuroscience (神经科学) and psychology, but of course, I wasn’t so fond of the preconditions to get to that stage. I had to take math and physics in my first year. So after the choke I call the first term, I looked back on my grades and found that I had never seen numbers like this before. I really didn’t even think they were possible. I had heard that medical schools liked to see an upward trend, so I was discouraged and hurt, but tried not to think about it. Having your grades taken away from you when that was all you had was a huge thing I had to overcome — I defined my worth by how “smart” I was and getting past that mindset was the hardest thing I’ve ever done. After I saw my grades, I realized the mistake I made taking a bunch of unnecessarily challenging courses. At the end of my second term, my grades weren’t as high as I wanted them to be, but I accepted it. I knew that there were reasons for the differences between individuals, but I still saw a huge improvement in my marks from the first term. I had enjoyed my time in my second term and even though I wasn’t where I wanted to be, it had nothing to do with my place in the university. It was very eye-opening and taught me what I needed to do in order to achieve MY best — not what everyone else considered to be the best. I’m now taking a summer school course and my marks are incredibly better than what I was getting during my first year of school. Though I had a rough start, I’m sure my lessons and new attitude will carry me much farther than just to medical school. 57．The author wanted to take a double major because she ______. A．liked the two majors better B．was preparing herself for her goal C．tried to prove her academic ability D．decided to challenge herself in university 58．How did the author feel when reviewing her grades after the first term? A．Satisfied. B．Surprised. C．Calm. D．Angry. 59．In the second term, the author ______. A．accepted the grades and did nothing B．tried to learn more necessary courses C．viewed learning from a different angle D．focused on learning medical knowledge 60．What can we learn from this passage? A．A fresh start leads to more challenges. B．Hard work will pay off sooner or later. C．Stick to your plan and you will succeed. D．Proper adjustment will take you farther. 【答案】57．B 58．B 59．C 60．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者作为大学新生，在适应大学生活的同时，为攻读医学院而努力提升成绩的心路历程。 57．推理判断题。根据第二段中“I would like to attend medical school after my four-year undergraduate.(我想在读完四年的本科后去医学院)”和“I engaged in life sciences and knew that I wanted to do a double major in neuroscience and psychology (我从事的是生命科学，我知道我想要神经科学和心理学的双学位)”可知，作者想进入医学院深造，参与生命科学的研究，所以她要主修神经科学和心理学双学位。这表明她选择这两个专业是为了自己的长远目标，即进入医学院深造，因此她是在为自己的目标做准备。故选B项。 58．推理判断题。根据第三段中“I looked back on my grades and found that I had never seen numbers like this before. I really didn’t even think they were possible.(我回顾了我的成绩，发现我以前从未见过这样的数字。我真的认为这是不可能的)”可知，回顾自己的成绩时，作者认为不可能，感到意外。故选B项。 59．细节理解题。根据第四段中“At the end of my second term, my grades weren’t as high as I wanted them to be, but I accepted it. I knew that there were reasons for the differences between individuals, but I still saw a huge improvement in my marks from the first term. I had enjoyed my time in my second term and even though I wasn’t where I wanted to be, it had nothing to do with my place in the university. It was very eye-opening and taught me what I needed to do in order to achieve MY best — not what everyone else considered to be the best.(在我的第二个学期结束时，我的成绩没有我想要的那么高，但我接受了它。我知道人与人之间的差异是有原因的，但我仍然看到我的成绩比第一学期有了巨大的进步。我在第二个学期过得很愉快，尽管我没有达到我想要的水平，但这与我在大学里的地位无关。这让我大开眼界，让我知道我需要做什么才能做到最好——而不是别人认为的最好)”可知，作者在第二个学期开始从不同的角度看待学习。故选C项。 60．推理判断题。通读全文，结合第三段中“So after the choke I call the first term, I looked back on my grades and found that I had never seen numbers like this before. I really didn’t even think they were possible. I had heard that medical schools liked to see an upward trend, so I was discouraged and hurt, but tried not to think about it.(所以在我称之为第一学期的艰难时刻之后，我回顾了自己的成绩，发现我从未见过这样的数字。我甚至真的认为这些成绩是不可能的。我听说医学院喜欢看到成绩呈上升趋势，所以我感到沮丧和受伤，但我尽量不去想它)”、第四段中“After I saw my grades, I realized the mistake I made taking a bunch of unnecessarily challenging courses.(看到成绩后，我意识到自己犯了一个错误，上了一堆不必要的挑战性课程)”和最后一段中“Though I had a rough start, I’m sure my lessons and new attitude will carry me much farther than just to medical school.(虽然我有一个艰难的开始，但我相信我的课程和新的态度将使我比仅仅进入医学院走得更远)”可知，在第一学期遭遇挫折后，作者在第二学期及时调整策略、改变态度，最后有了新的开始，并坚信自己会走得更远。由此可知，这篇文章告诉我们：适当的调整会让你走得更远。故选D项。 （2024·北京大兴·三模）A voice reaches us, crying out from the depths of a profound silence: “I am alive, I can think, and no one has the right to deny me these two realities. . . ” The words were conveyed by a flicker (跳动) of the left eyelid. It came from a book, The Diving Bell and the Butterfly, by a former journalist, Jean-Dominique Bauby. He worked for journals like the Quotidien de Paris and Paris Match. For four years until December 1995 he was the very successful chief editor of Elle. Then the unthinkable happened. A cardiovascular ( 心血管的) accident sent him into a deep coma (昏迷). His brain remained undamaged, but its connection to his body left him with only the ability to blink his left eyelid. The poor man was diagnosed as suffering from the rare disease “Locked-in Syndrome”, unable to breathe or eat without assistance. In this inert body, however, his brain was working furiously, trying to make people understand what he was thinking. With the help of a specialized nurse, Claude Mendibil, he was able to write his book, using only his ability to blink at the most frequently used letters of the alphabet. He would spend most of the night editing his thoughts and composing sentences. It took him about 200, 000 blinks to write his book of more than 100 pages. In it, Bauby describes his paralyzed existence as being trapped in an old-fashioned deep-sea diving bell while the “butterflies” of his mind flutter about freely. One would expect from this process formal factual report, but that is not the case. The book reads in flowing images that light up his predicament. The style is clear and fresh, and not without elegance, imagination and shafts of humor. He is also in search of past time, of memory itself, of the books he had read, the poems he had learnt by heart. Even sadder, he thinks of all the books he wanted to read and hadn’t gotten to. He has to listen to someone else reading them to him. He recalls meals, a horse race, his life and work as an editor, and his struggle in his hospital bed to twitch (抽搐) his nose when a fly lands on it. “From this hell comes a great message of life and hope,” said Antoine Audouard, a friend of Bauby’s and the book’s publisher. 61．We can learn from the article that Jean Dominique Bauby ________. A．die of a rare cardiovascular condition B．used to be a successful journalist and editor C．suffered brain damage due to Locked-in Syndrome D．continued to run magazines from his hospital bed with the help of a nurse 62．What do paragraphs 4 and 5 mainly talk about? A．How Bauby was able to write his book. B．What Bauby’s life was like after he had been paralyzed. C．What The Diving Bell and the Butterfly is mainly about. D．Why Bauby named his book The Diving Bell and the Butterfly. 63．Based on information from the article, which of the following statements about The Diving Bell and the Butterfly is true? A．It is written in a formal and serious style. B．It focuses on Bauby’s memories from his time as an editor. C．It describes Bauby’s paralyzed existence with elegant and creative language. D．It gives readers an easy-to-understand introduction to Locked-in Syndrome. 64．Based on this article, which of the following words can not be used to describe Bauby? A．Odd-tempered. B．Open-minded. C．Strong-willed. D．Warm-hearted. 【答案】61．B 62．A 63．C 64．A 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了一位被诊断患有一种罕见的疾病“闭锁综合症”的作家与病魔斗争，最终把自己的故事用优美的语言写成一本书展示给世人，传递出他不屈不挠的精神。 61．细节理解题。根据文章第二段中“It came from a book, The Diving Bell and the Butterfly, by a former journalist, Jean-Dominique Bauby.

Due to financial difficulties, he became a wildlife guide instead. Abeid didn’t give up. He became a chief pilot of hot air ballooning at the age of 20. His passion for flying was matched by his skill both as a pilot and as a guide. Then, he came up with the idea of flying across the Serengeti from east to west, which would take four flights on successive days, taking off and landing where no one had ever seen a balloon before. As a journalist, I was so lucky to make a journey with Abeid. We were up at 3 am. Abeid walked into the basket and checked the lines and the fastenings. Moments later, he was instructing me to get into it. With barely time to catch my breath, he gave a long blast (猛吹) on the burners and the basket tipped upright. Over the following days, we gasped at the joy and wonder of the sky; at the beauty and complexity of the land beneath us. There was no fear, just a sense of being part of something fantastic as we floated in the silence of the African sky. But not everything went entirely to Abeid’s carefully worked-out plan. The rains that had started to fall every afternoon slowed the air. On the final day, we landed 20km short of the destination. Luckily, we finally made the crossing the next morning. When we were returning to the land, crowds of people shouted and waved. Many children looked up as we flew over them, and started to run. As Abeid brought the balloon down, people gathered around the balloon, pressing against the basket. Those children were also there, flushed and breathless, eyes wide with amazement. Abeid and I both looked at each other in silent agreement. Suddenly we were helping some children into the basket. Abeid lifted off and we flew just a few hundred metres with the excited crowd running alongside. I realized that Abeid’s journey was more than just about flying. It was about hope, inspiration, and the joy of sharing one’s passion. And as I penned down the last words of this extraordinary experience, I knew that Abeid’s story would resonate (回荡) far beyond the Serengeti. 65．What did Abeid dream of? A．Being a wildlife guide.
