Meet Peyo, the 15-year-old stallion (公马) who spends his days doing the rounds at Calais Hospital in France. He helps offer comfort to cancer patients and their families. Peyo used to train for equestrian (马术的) shows. One day, his owner, Bouchakour, happened to find that his horse had a different, more unique ability. After shows, Peyo would pick people out of the crowd and remain close to them. Bouchakour later realized that his horse was born with the ability to choose people that were sick. The trainer soon gave up his career as a sportsman. He decided to use Peyo’s special ability to bring peace and comfort to those who most needed it. The horse has been a volunteer at Calais Hospital since 2016. It is popular with everyone at the hospital, but he’s especially useful when patients are nearing the end of their lives. Having Peyo by their side brings the patients joy in their final moments and helps them have a more peaceful passing. And in some cases, this can reduce their pain so greatly that they no longer require the use of strong drugs. Since beginning his career as a therapy horse, Peyo has made this end-of-life period less painful for more than 1,000 patients. Not only does Peyo help the sick, but he’s also a true friend to his trainer. “Peyo is my other half.

For several months, she remained in hospital and began to rebuild her strength and ability to communicate. “At the beginning, I was so weak I couldn’t even use a wheelchair,” she says. “I realised that I wouldn’t be able to go back to my old life.” Asking for help was particularly difficult as Chin didn’t want to feel like a burden, but after being recommended a course of therapy (疗法), she started to glimpse a future for herself. She started opening up to other people and one day her social worker suggested she should try a sport. “She mentioned the wheelchair basketball team and I decided to give it a try,” she says. The first two times Rose Chin arrived at the basketball court as a 65-year-old , to try out for the Inverness wheelchair team, she couldn’t make it past the doors. “I looked through the window and just thought: ‘I can’t do this,’” she says. “The third time, though, I made myself go through before I could think about it. The team welcomed me with open arms and it’s changed the way I live in my wheelchair ever since.” Following that successful third attempt onto the court in 2022, Chin was enlisted as part of the 10- person team and began attending weekly training sessions learning how to pass, throw and defend while moving herself in a specially designed chair. “We very quickly became a little family with a WhatsApp group full of jokes,” she laughs. “I’m the oldest on the team and the youngest is 19 but when I play, age doesn’t come into it — it’s such a pleasure.” “I feel so independent and I know I will keep playing for as long as I can,” she says. “I want us to raise more money to get more equipment so we can encourage others to join. They might be feeling like I was, but I want them to know that there’s opportunity out there — they don’t have to be alone.” 1．Why did Chin try out for the wheelchair basketball team?

Wanting to protect them, I started building houses for ants, using little pieces of wood and leaves. I then moved on to making little cups and saucers from silver foil (箔纸) for the magical creatures. When seeing my work, my mother told me that the smaller I made things, the bigger my name would become. As the years went by, my designs became more complicated. Making sculptures isn’t actually enjoyable. I sometimes work for 16 hours a day without breaks, and it takes me up to three months to finish a sculpture. I have to hold my breath during the sculpting process. One time, a fly landed on a Cinderella carriage sculpture I was working on. The fly’s wings blew it away, and it was lost. I was heartbroken. Another time, I accidentally breathed in a microscopic Alice from Alice in Wonderland. Alice is now in the Wonderland forever. But it did give me the chance to make an even better one the second time around. My sculptures have taken me to incredible places. In 2012, I met the queen, giving her a crown on the head of a pin. In 2013, I received my first Guinness World Record for creating the smallest sculpture by hand, a 24-carat gold motorbike that fitted inside a hair. In 2017, I beat my record with a sculpture of a human fetus (胎儿) that measured 0.078 mm by 0.053 mm. I was diagnosed with autism (自闭症) as an adult. In school, my teachers had pointed me out as an example of failure; now, I see my autism as a gift. It’s pushed me to be the best I can be. I hold workshops in schools for neurodiverse children, sharing my story and helping them create their own miniature figures. The microscopic world has always been my happy place. I’ve tried to make bigger sculptures, but small is best for me. We need to appreciate the little things in life. Small things can also be mighty, too. 1．What drove the author to make tiny sculpture at the beginning? A．His interest in insects. B．His desire to make a name. C．His dream of setting a record. D．His awareness of wildlife protection. 2．Which of the following can best describe the author’s sculpting process? A．Eventful and enjoyable. B．Complex and frustrating.

And it is often a painful physical task. The task falls unreasonably to women and girls, who can spend 20 hours a week washing clothes, often without electricity or running water. London engineer Navjot Sawhney, however, has come up with an idea: a portable and lightweight washing machine that is similar to a plastic drum. It also does double duty as a dryer, and costs around $60. 31- year- old Sawhney calls it the Divya, after the woman who inspired the project—his former next- door neighbour in South India, where he spent a year volunteering after leaving his job as an engineer at high- end vacuum (真空吸尘器) maker Dyson. “When I got to know Divya, I was so sad about all the unpaid work she needed to do—cleaning clothes,” says Sawhney. In 2018, he returned to the United Kingdom to found “The Washing Machine Project”, which is developing a washing solution that will be affordable, portable and accessible for everyone, everywhere. After a few months of developing a model, he received some money from Oxfam's Iraq Response Innovation Lab. Since March 2019, more than 150 Divyas have been given out to refugees in Iraq through non- profit partners. “The response was great,” Sawhney says. His goal is to deliver 8, 000 machines in 10 countries over the next three years. By saving 75 percent of the time and 50 percent of the water required to wash clothes, he says, women and girls will be freer to accept education. Aside from the Divya, Sawhney has also worked on making fuel- efficient cookstoves, and plans to develop refrigerators, conditioners, and lighting. Sawhney sees the world's growing refugee crisis as a call for innovation: “There is a huge need for appliances that make life better for people.” 1．What did Navjot Sawhney do to help the women in India? A．He volunteered to wash clothes for them. B．He provided them with free access to education. C．He called on people in his community to donate clothes. D．He worked out a solution by inventing a washing machine. 2．What inspired Navjot Sawhney to found the project? A．His neighbour's experience. B．His previous work in Dyson. C．The support of a science lab. D．The request of refugees in Iraq. 3．What can we infer about the project in Paragraph 3? A．It is highly praised. B．It focuses on education. C．It has created many jobs. D．It has earned a lot of money. 4．Which of the following can best describe Navjot Sawhney? A．Selfless and honest. B．Helpful and serious. C．Caring and creative. D．Thoughtful and strict. （24-25高三上·江苏南通·开学考试）At just 5 years old, little Selah noticed that many of her fellow kindergarten classmates were struggling with their ABCs and didn’t know how to read, so she wanted to do something. The determined girl enlisted (争取) the help of her parents and The Empowered Readers Literacy Project was born. After listening to their daughter’s concerns, Khalil and Nicole Thompson researched the issue and found some shocking information about literacy here in America including the fact that 85% of children in the juvenile (少年的) prison system are functionally illiterate. “All these crazy statistics for literacy blew our minds,” says Khalil Thompson. “The statistics said some prisons forecast the number of prison cells they are going to build in the future based on third-grade reading test scores.” Despite the awesome nature of the problem they were facing, the couple was spurred on by Selah’s resolution, “We really, should just give away 20 hundred thousand books,” Nicole remarks, recalling her daughter’s words, The family got to work—starting initiatives such as Project 500 and their Holiday Book Drive. As they began, one of the main issues the family found, contributing to illiteracy, was representation—children are, not as excited about reading when they don’t find themselves reflected in the pages of the book. And after realizing that very few of the characters in the stories she’d read looked like her. Selah then decided to write a book of her own that features a heroine who looks like her and shares her same interests and sense of adventure. In November 2019, Selah’s first book Penelope the Private Princess, was published, and the sequel (续集) just released in December 2020. “There is so mush inspiration behind the fact that this is a child that wrote this story and came up with this” says Khalil. “You can reclaim your story, do your own story, and do all the things that adults at a at your young age and you should really know that you have power in your voice and ideas.” 1．Why does Khalil mention the practice of prisons Para.2?

Born in 1831 in Christiana, Delaware, Crumpler spent her childhood in Pennsylvania with an aunt, who frequently cared for sick neighbors, and Crumpler went with her on these trips. In her book published in 1883, Crumpler wrote, “Having been raised by a kind aunt, whose usefulness to the sick was continually sought, I early developed a liking for medicine, and sought every opportunity to be in a position to relieve the sufferings of others.” In 1852, Crumpler moved to Charlestown, Massachusetts, to begin her medical career as a nurse. In the early 1850s, there was no formal school where one could become licensed to practice nursing. Even so, Crumpler assisted several doctors in Boston for eight years. They in turn supported her application to the New England Female Medical College, where she was awarded a state- funded scholarship. Crumpler worked hard at her studies but had to take a leave of absence after two years to attend to her sick husband, who unfortunately passed away in 1863. Months later, Crumpler returned to complete her final term but was nearly refused after some faculty members (教员) expressed worry regarding the amount of time it was taking her to complete her coursework and were hesitant to let her come back. Luckily, with several of the school’s sponsors supporting her, Crumpler finally received a “Doctress of Medicine” from college, and began seeing patients in and around her house, treating them regardless of their ability to pay. In 1883, Dr. Crumpler published a book based on journal notes she kept during her years of practice. A Book of Medical Discourses, specifically aimed at women and the care of their children, is believed to be the first medical text written by an African American author. Scientific American describes it as the forerunner of the famous What to Expect When You’ re Expecting (1984). 1．What inspired Crumpler to take up medicine? A．The influence of her aunt. B．The desire to help the poor. C．Her family’s encouragement. D．The doctors’ financial support. 2．Which of the following can best describe Crumpler? A．Humorous and easygoing. B．Caring and determined.

B．She failed to follow the school regulations. C．They felt negative about her determination. D．They doubted her ability to finish her study. 4．What do people think of Crumpler’s book according to the last paragraph? A．Inspiring but unrealistic. B．Accessible and interesting.

He stands among a select group of Chinese medical practitioners who are embracing an integrative approach to healing—melding the wisdom of ancient Chinese medicine with modern medical science. Dr. Li, an alumnus of Beijing University of Chinese Medicine, initially pursued a more conventional path in his medical career. His journey towards alternative therapies began two decades ago when he was plagued by severe back pain. Conventional treatments offered him little respite. It was through acupuncture, an age-old Chinese medical technique, that he found remarkable improvement after just a few sessions. This personal experience inspired him to explore its potential for his patients. After years of dedicated study and practice, he started integrating these methods into his treatments. Consider the case of Zhang Wei's father, who suffered from chronic migraines. Zhang was at the brink of despair, ready to concede to the relentless pain, but Dr. Li’s integrative approach not only alleviated his symptoms but also significantly improved his quality of life. Similarly, Chen Yu recounts how her mother, after a stroke, regained mobility and speech function following a series of acupuncture sessions. Dr. Li is convinced that the integrative approach to acupuncture will gain broader acceptance, and historical trends seem to support his optimism: Since the establishment of the Chinese Association for Integrative Medicine in 1990, its membership has surged from a handful to thousands. “The profound effectiveness of this integrative practice sometimes astonishes even me,” Dr. Li admits. “I am committed to exploring every avenue to aid my patients. That is the essence of my vocation.” 1．What is the opinion of some of Dr. Li’s colleagues regarding his methods? A．They consider him unconventional. B．They perceive him as overly strict. C．They admire his courage. D．They find him impolite. 2．What motivated Dr. Li to explore acupuncture for his patients? A．His academic training in acupuncture. B．The influence of a fellow practitioner. C．His personal benefits from acupuncture. D．A desire to reduce medical costs for patients. 3．What is the main focus of paragraph 3? A．The procedural details of acupuncture treatment. B．The intricacies involved in a medical practitioner’s work. C．The rarity of certain diseases in patients. D．The tangible benefits of integrative medicine. 4．Why does the author refer to the Chinese Association for Integrative Medicine? A．To validate Dr. Li’s perspective. B．To highlight the association’s significance. C．To commend the dedication of medical practitioners. D．To promote the cause of patient advocacy. （2024·江苏·模拟预测）Wendell Berry was almost 30 when he packed up his life as a New York intellectual and moved to Port Royal, a tiny community in Kentucky where generations of his forebears (祖先) had farmed the land. His friends thought he was mad. But he felt it was his inner calling to record the history of the place. Since moving to Port Royal in 1964, he has lived as if he were in the 19th century, writing by hand and ploughing his fields with horses. His eight novels and more than 50 short stories are usually set in Port William, a stand-in (代替物) for Port Royal. Nick Offerman, an actor, wanted to adapt his work for the screen. However, the actor was refused. In Mr Berry’s opinion, humans must take care of the earth that grants them life. “The soil is the greatest connector of lives,” he has written. “Without proper care for it we can have no community.” This philosophy dominates his writings. In The Unsettling of America, published in 1977, Mr Berry criticized the natural damage caused by large agribusinesses. He thinks capitalism has separated farming from culture and disconnected people from nature. Mr Berry’s fiction explores the decline of values by following Port William’s interconnected clans (家族) as they enter the modern age. In Dismemberment, a short story, Andy Catlett loses a hand to a harvesting machine and becomes a loner. He sees his withdrawal is mistaken and reconnects with the town, finding “the wealth of an intimate history” in belonging to “his ancestral place”. In Hannah Coulter, Mr Berry’s seventh novel, the main character Hannah Coulter grows old after a sad life and anticipates loneliness when her children leave to find work in the city. Instead her hope is restored when her grandson returns to run the farm. These stories offer insightful advice for readers living through ecological disaster. Though few can return to farming basics, Mr Berry’s messages of building communities, being a good neighbor and resisting the invitation of modern life are still valuable. 1．Why did Mr Berry’s friends think he was mad? A．He moved to live in the countryside. B．He turned down Offerman’s request. C．He wrote most of his novels by hand. D．He gave up his career as an intellectual. 2．What do Mr Berry’s writings often imply? A．The challenges of farming in old days. B．The harmony between man and nature. C．The real benefits of large agribusinesses. D．The hard lives of his forebears in Kentucky. 3．What do Andy Catlett and Hannah Coulter have in common? A．They are from the same novel. B．They both choose to live alone. C．They are victims of country life. D．They both find their values again. 4．What would be the best title for the text? A．Wendell Berry: a rural writer living a modern life B．Wendell Berry: a strong voice for modern farming C．Discover why Wendell Berry’s rural tales shine D．Find out how Wendell Berry adapts to new environments （24-25高三上·江苏南京·一模）When the pool near Paris where he worked as a lifeguard was closed due to poor economic conditions, Guillaume Pop took jobs at various other pools that were almost empty. At one pool there was a small waterslide (水滑道), which gave the 22-year-old former competitive swimmer an idea: he would make a TikTok video in which he pretended to be a“professional waterslide tester”. Shooting down a slide in hard hat and hi-viz vest (防护衣) or smiling broadly in cool shapes to the music, Pop soon became a social media hit. He was hired to “test” slides and other facilities at water parks, swimming pools and campsites all over France. Today, he has more than half a million followers on TikTok and his own real-life waterslide-testing business. No longer working as a lifeguard, he travels the country checking the condition of waterslides, trying them out to determine how fun they are and creating amusing videos to attract customers. “First of all, I check it without water, to make sure it’s in an acceptable state,” explains Pop, who must keep up-to-date on water park regulations. If he finds a waterslide needs work — for example, if there are bumpy joints, which can hurt sliders — management will bring in a specialist repairer. “After that, I test it with water,” Pop says. Then he moves on to the fun, promotional aspect. Sometimes he takes over a leisure park and invites social media influencers to enjoy it too. In 2022, he took 25 influencers to O’Gliss Park, an enormous water park on the Atlantic coast. Pop estimates he’s tested around 700 French waterslides and is now eyeing water parks abroad, such as Switzerland, Portugal and Spain, where he has been testing slides during the winter. “It’s the best job in the world,” declares Pop, whose videos have received 80 million views. “I’m not behind a desk. I’m active and outside in the sun. And I build a positive relationship with customers. In fact, all the children tell me they want to be a waterslide tester!” 1．What motivated Guillaume Pop to make TikTok videos about waterslides? A．His interest in lifeguarding techniques. B．His passion for competitive swimming. C．A suggestion from his friends to become a social media hit. D．The loss of his lifeguard job due to poor economic conditions. 2．How did Guillaume Pop’s career change after gaining popularity on TikTok? A．He began working as a manager at a water park. B．He started a real-life waterslide-testing business. C．He joined a professional swimming team in Paris.

For several months, she remained in hospital and began to rebuild her strength and ability to communicate. “At the beginning, I was so weak I couldn’t even use a wheelchair,” she says. “I realised that I wouldn’t be able to go back to my old life.” Asking for help was particularly difficult as Chin didn’t want to feel like a burden, but after being recommended a course of therapy (疗法), she started to glimpse a future for herself. She started opening up to other people and one day her social worker suggested she should try a sport. “She mentioned the wheelchair basketball team and I decided to give it a try,” she says. The first two times Rose Chin arrived at the basketball court as a 65-year-old , to try out for the Inverness wheelchair team, she couldn’t make it past the doors. “I looked through the window and just thought: ‘I can’t do this,’” she says. “The third time, though, I made myself go through before I could think about it. The team welcomed me with open arms and it’s changed the way I live in my wheelchair ever since.” Following that successful third attempt onto the court in 2022, Chin was enlisted as part of the 10- person team and began attending weekly training sessions learning how to pass, throw and defend while moving herself in a specially designed chair. “We very quickly became a little family with a WhatsApp group full of jokes,” she laughs. “I’m the oldest on the team and the youngest is 19 but when I play, age doesn’t come into it — it’s such a pleasure.” “I feel so independent and I know I will keep playing for as long as I can,” she says. “I want us to raise more money to get more equipment so we can encourage others to join. They might be feeling like I was, but I want them to know that there’s opportunity out there — they don’t have to be alone.” 1．Why did Chin try out for the wheelchair basketball team?

Wanting to protect them, I started building houses for ants, using little pieces of wood and leaves. I then moved on to making little cups and saucers from silver foil (箔纸) for the magical creatures. When seeing my work, my mother told me that the smaller I made things, the bigger my name would become. As the years went by, my designs became more complicated. Making sculptures isn’t actually enjoyable. I sometimes work for 16 hours a day without breaks, and it takes me up to three months to finish a sculpture. I have to hold my breath during the sculpting process. One time, a fly landed on a Cinderella carriage sculpture I was working on. The fly’s wings blew it away, and it was lost. I was heartbroken. Another time, I accidentally breathed in a microscopic Alice from Alice in Wonderland. Alice is now in the Wonderland forever. But it did give me the chance to make an even better one the second time around. My sculptures have taken me to incredible places. In 2012, I met the queen, giving her a crown on the head of a pin. In 2013, I received my first Guinness World Record for creating the smallest sculpture by hand, a 24-carat gold motorbike that fitted inside a hair. In 2017, I beat my record with a sculpture of a human fetus (胎儿) that measured 0.078 mm by 0.053 mm. I was diagnosed with autism (自闭症) as an adult. In school, my teachers had pointed me out as an example of failure; now, I see my autism as a gift. It’s pushed me to be the best I can be. I hold workshops in schools for neurodiverse children, sharing my story and helping them create their own miniature figures. The microscopic world has always been my happy place. I’ve tried to make bigger sculptures, but small is best for me. We need to appreciate the little things in life. Small things can also be mighty, too. 1．What drove the author to make tiny sculpture at the beginning? A．His interest in insects. B．His desire to make a name. C．His dream of setting a record. D．His awareness of wildlife protection. 2．Which of the following can best describe the author’s sculpting process? A．Eventful and enjoyable. B．Complex and frustrating. C．Money-wasting but entertaining. D．Time-consuming but fulfilling. 3．How does the author deal with his autism now? A．He receives medical treatment. B．He takes full advantage of it. C．He regards it as the source of failure. D．He shares it and asks help from others. 4．What message does the author mainly convey through the text? A．Great art comes at a cost of loss. B．Childhood experiences sculpt a career. C．Minor things in life can carry weight. D．Hard work contributes to great achievements. 【答案】1．A 2．D 3．B 4．C 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者利用自己的自闭症来让自己变得更好的故事。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段“Growing up as a kid in the UK, I was fascinated by insects.

And it is often a painful physical task. The task falls unreasonably to women and girls, who can spend 20 hours a week washing clothes, often without electricity or running water. London engineer Navjot Sawhney, however, has come up with an idea: a portable and lightweight washing machine that is similar to a plastic drum. It also does double duty as a dryer, and costs around $60. 31- year- old Sawhney calls it the Divya, after the woman who inspired the project—his former next- door neighbour in South India, where he spent a year volunteering after leaving his job as an engineer at high- end vacuum (真空吸尘器) maker Dyson. “When I got to know Divya, I was so sad about all the unpaid work she needed to do—cleaning clothes,” says Sawhney. In 2018, he returned to the United Kingdom to found “The Washing Machine Project”, which is developing a washing solution that will be affordable, portable and accessible for everyone, everywhere. After a few months of developing a model, he received some money from Oxfam's Iraq Response Innovation Lab. Since March 2019, more than 150 Divyas have been given out to refugees in Iraq through non- profit partners. “The response was great,” Sawhney says. His goal is to deliver 8, 000 machines in 10 countries over the next three years. By saving 75 percent of the time and 50 percent of the water required to wash clothes, he says, women and girls will be freer to accept education. Aside from the Divya, Sawhney has also worked on making fuel- efficient cookstoves, and plans to develop refrigerators, conditioners, and lighting. Sawhney sees the world's growing refugee crisis as a call for innovation: “There is a huge need for appliances that make life better for people.” 1．What did Navjot Sawhney do to help the women in India? A．He volunteered to wash clothes for them. B．He provided them with free access to education. C．He called on people in his community to donate clothes. D．He worked out a solution by inventing a washing machine. 2．What inspired Navjot Sawhney to found the project? A．His neighbour's experience. B．His previous work in Dyson. C．The support of a science lab. D．The request of refugees in Iraq. 3．What can we infer about the project in Paragraph 3? A．It is highly praised. B．It focuses on education. C．It has created many jobs. D．It has earned a lot of money. 4．Which of the following can best describe Navjot Sawhney? A．Selfless and honest. B．Helpful and serious. C．Caring and creative. D．Thoughtful and strict. 【答案】1．D 2．A 3．A 4．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。英国工程师 Navjot Sawhney在印度贫民窟受到启发，发明了一款便携式洗衣机。 1．细节理解题。 根据第一段的 “London engineer Navjot Sawhney, however, has come up with an idea: a portable and lightweight washing machine that is similar to a plastic drum.(然而，伦敦的工程师纳夫乔特·索赫尼想出了一个想法：一台类似于塑料鼓的便携式轻质洗衣机。)” 可知，为了帮助印度的妇女, Navjot Sawhney 发明了一种洗衣机来解决这个问题。故选D。 2．细节理解题。根据第二段的 “31- year- old Sawhney calls it the Divya, after the woman who inspired the project— his former next- door neighbour in South India, where he spent a year volunteering after leaving his job as an engineer at high- end vacuum maker Dyson.(31岁的索尼称之为“Divya”，因为这个项目的灵感来源——他在印度南部的前邻居，在辞去高端真空制造商戴森的工程师工作后，他在那里花了一年时间做志愿者。)” 可知，Navjot Sawhney 在印度做志愿服务时看到邻居的洗衣经历，让他有了创立“洗衣机项目”的灵感。故选A。 3．推理判断题。根据第三段的 “Since March 203, more than 150 Divyas have been given out to refugees in Iraq through non- profit partners. ‘The response was great, ’ Sawhney says.(自203年3月以来，已有150多名迪维亚人通过非营利性合作伙伴发放给了在伊拉克的难民。索赫尼说，反响很好。)” 可知，这款洗衣机反响很好，由此推知，该项目得到很高的评价。故选A。 4．推理判断题。文中讲述了 Navjot Sawhney为了帮助印度贫困地区的妇女洗衣服而发明了洗衣机，由此可推知，他既有爱心又很有创造力。故选C。 （24-25高三上·江苏南通·开学考试）At just 5 years old, little Selah noticed that many of her fellow kindergarten classmates were struggling with their ABCs and didn’t know how to read, so she wanted to do something. The determined girl enlisted (争取) the help of her parents and The Empowered Readers Literacy Project was born. After listening to their daughter’s concerns, Khalil and Nicole Thompson researched the issue and found some shocking information about literacy here in America including the fact that 85% of children in the juvenile (少年的) prison system are functionally illiterate. “All these crazy statistics for literacy blew our minds,” says Khalil Thompson. “The statistics said some prisons forecast the number of prison cells they are going to build in the future based on third-grade reading test scores.” Despite the awesome nature of the problem they were facing, the couple was spurred on by Selah’s resolution, “We really, should just give away 20 hundred thousand books,” Nicole remarks, recalling her daughter’s words, The family got to work—starting initiatives such as Project 500 and their Holiday Book Drive.

And after realizing that very few of the characters in the stories she’d read looked like her. Selah then decided to write a book of her own that features a heroine who looks like her and shares her same interests and sense of adventure. In November 2019, Selah’s first book Penelope the Private Princess, was published, and the sequel (续集) just released in December 2020. “There is so mush inspiration behind the fact that this is a child that wrote this story and came up with this” says Khalil. “You can reclaim your story, do your own story, and do all the things that adults at a at your young age and you should really know that you have power in your voice and ideas.” 1．Why does Khalil mention the practice of prisons Para.2?

Born in 1831 in Christiana, Delaware, Crumpler spent her childhood in Pennsylvania with an aunt, who frequently cared for sick neighbors, and Crumpler went with her on these trips. In her book published in 1883, Crumpler wrote, “Having been raised by a kind aunt, whose usefulness to the sick was continually sought, I early developed a liking for medicine, and sought every opportunity to be in a position to relieve the sufferings of others.” In 1852, Crumpler moved to Charlestown, Massachusetts, to begin her medical career as a nurse. In the early 1850s, there was no formal school where one could become licensed to practice nursing. Even so, Crumpler assisted several doctors in Boston for eight years. They in turn supported her application to the New England Female Medical College, where she was awarded a state- funded scholarship. Crumpler worked hard at her studies but had to take a leave of absence after two years to attend to her sick husband, who unfortunately passed away in 1863. Months later, Crumpler returned to complete her final term but was nearly refused after some faculty members (教员) expressed worry regarding the amount of time it was taking her to complete her coursework and were hesitant to let her come back. Luckily, with several of the school’s sponsors supporting her, Crumpler finally received a “Doctress of Medicine” from college, and began seeing patients in and around her house, treating them regardless of their ability to pay. In 1883, Dr. Crumpler published a book based on journal notes she kept during her years of practice. A Book of Medical Discourses, specifically aimed at women and the care of their children, is believed to be the first medical text written by an African American author. Scientific American describes it as the forerunner of the famous What to Expect When You’ re Expecting (1984). 1．What inspired Crumpler to take up medicine? A．The influence of her aunt. B．The desire to help the poor. C．Her family’s encouragement. D．The doctors’ financial support. 2．Which of the following can best describe Crumpler? A．Humorous and easygoing. B．Caring and determined. C．Adventurous and sensitive. D．Optimistic and honest. 3．Why did some teachers attempt to reject Crumpler’s returning to school? A．Her family couldn’t afford her education. B．She failed to follow the school regulations. C．They felt negative about her determination. D．They doubted her ability to finish her study. 4．What do people think of Crumpler’s book according to the last paragraph? A．Inspiring but unrealistic. B．Accessible and interesting. C．Educational but complicated. D．Groundbreaking and practical. 【答案】1．A 2．B 3．D 4．D 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了第一位在美国获得医学学位的非裔美国女性Rebecca Lee Crumpler的从医经历。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段“In her book published in 1883, Crumpler wrote, “Having been raised by a kind aunt, whose usefulness to the sick was continually sought, I early developed a liking for medicine, and sought every opportunity to be in a position to relieve the sufferings of others.”(在1883年出版的书中，克拉姆勒写道：“我被一位善良的姑姑抚养长大，她不断地寻求对病人的帮助，我很早就喜欢上了医学，并且寻找每一个机会来减轻他人的痛苦。”)”可知，姑姑的影响激发了克拉姆勒从医。故选A。 2．推理判断题。根据第二段“In her book published in 1883, Crumpler wrote, “Having been raised by a kind aunt, whose usefulness to the sick was continually sought, I early developed a liking for medicine, and sought every opportunity to be in a position to relieve the sufferings of others.”(在1883年出版的书中，克拉姆勒写道：“我被一位善良的姑姑抚养长大，她不断地寻求对病人的帮助，我很早就喜欢上了医学，并且寻找每一个机会来减轻他人的痛苦，并寻求每一个机会来减轻别人的痛苦。”)”以及第三段“In 1852, Crumpler moved to Charlestown, Massachusetts, to begin her medical career as a nurse.

He stands among a select group of Chinese medical practitioners who are embracing an integrative approach to healing—melding the wisdom of ancient Chinese medicine with modern medical science. Dr. Li, an alumnus of Beijing University of Chinese Medicine, initially pursued a more conventional path in his medical career. His journey towards alternative therapies began two decades ago when he was plagued by severe back pain. Conventional treatments offered him little respite. It was through acupuncture, an age-old Chinese medical technique, that he found remarkable improvement after just a few sessions. This personal experience inspired him to explore its potential for his patients. After years of dedicated study and practice, he started integrating these methods into his treatments. Consider the case of Zhang Wei's father, who suffered from chronic migraines. Zhang was at the brink of despair, ready to concede to the relentless pain, but Dr. Li’s integrative approach not only alleviated his symptoms but also significantly improved his quality of life. Similarly, Chen Yu recounts how her mother, after a stroke, regained mobility and speech function following a series of acupuncture sessions. Dr. Li is convinced that the integrative approach to acupuncture will gain broader acceptance, and historical trends seem to support his optimism: Since the establishment of the Chinese Association for Integrative Medicine in 1990, its membership has surged from a handful to thousands. “The profound effectiveness of this integrative practice sometimes astonishes even me,” Dr. Li admits. “I am committed to exploring every avenue to aid my patients. That is the essence of my vocation.” 1．What is the opinion of some of Dr. Li’s colleagues regarding his methods? A．They consider him unconventional. B．They perceive him as overly strict. C．They admire his courage. D．They find him impolite. 2．What motivated Dr. Li to explore acupuncture for his patients? A．His academic training in acupuncture. B．The influence of a fellow practitioner. C．His personal benefits from acupuncture. D．A desire to reduce medical costs for patients. 3．What is the main focus of paragraph 3? A．The procedural details of acupuncture treatment. B．The intricacies involved in a medical practitioner’s work. C．The rarity of certain diseases in patients. D．The tangible benefits of integrative medicine. 4．Why does the author refer to the Chinese Association for Integrative Medicine? A．To validate Dr. Li’s perspective. B．To highlight the association’s significance. C．To commend the dedication of medical practitioners. D．To promote the cause of patient advocacy. 【答案】1．A 2．C 3．D 4．A 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。讲述了李明医生如何将传统中医针灸与现代医学科学相结合，治疗病人并取得显著效果。 1．推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Despite the skepticism from some peers, Dr. Li remains undeterred by their occasional ridicule.(尽管一些同行持怀疑态度，但李博士仍然没有被他们偶尔的嘲笑吓倒)”可知，一些同行对李明医生的方法持怀疑态度，并且偶尔会嘲笑他，这表明他们认为他的方法非传统。故选A项。 2．细节理解题。根据第二段中的“It was through acupuncture, an age-old Chinese medical technique, that he found remarkable improvement after just a few sessions.(正是通过针灸，一种古老的中国医学技术，他在几次治疗后就发现了显著的改善。)”可知，李明医生通过针灸这种古老的中医技术，在几次治疗后就显著改善了自己的严重背痛，个人从针灸中受益是他探索针灸用于病人的动机。故选C项。 3．主旨大意题。根据第三段“Consider the case of Zhang Wei's father, who suffered from chronic migraines. Zhang was at the brink of despair, ready to concede to the relentless pain, but Dr. Li's integrative approach not only alleviated his symptoms but also significantly improved his quality of life. Similarly, Chen Yu recounts how her mother, after a stroke, regained mobility and speech function following a series of acupuncture sessions.(以张伟的父亲为例，他患有慢性偏头痛。张处于绝望的边缘，准备向无情的痛苦让步，但李医生的综合方法不仅减轻了他的症状，而且显著提高了他的生活质量。同样，陈宇讲述了她的母亲如何在中风后，通过一系列针灸治疗恢复了行动能力和语言功能。)”可知，第三段主要讲述了通过整合医学的实践，李明医生不仅缓解了患者的症状，还显著提高了他们的生活质量，这体现了整合医学的具体益处。故选D项。 4．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Since the establishment of the Chinese Association for Integrative Medicine in 1990, its membership has surged from a handful to thousands.(这表明自1990年成立以来，中国整合医学协会的会员数量从少数激增到数千人)”可知，作者引用此协会是为了证实李明医生的观点，即整合医学方法将获得更广泛的接受。故选A项。 （2024·江苏·模拟预测）Wendell Berry was almost 30 when he packed up his life as a New York intellectual and moved to Port Royal, a tiny community in Kentucky where generations of his forebears (祖先) had farmed the land. His friends thought he was mad. But he felt it was his inner calling to record the history of the place. Since moving to Port Royal in 1964, he has lived as if he were in the 19th century, writing by hand and ploughing his fields with horses. His eight novels and more than 50 short stories are usually set in Port William, a stand-in (代替物) for Port Royal. Nick Offerman, an actor, wanted to adapt his work for the screen. However, the actor was refused. In Mr Berry’s opinion, humans must take care of the earth that grants them life. “The soil is the greatest connector of lives,” he has written. “Without proper care for it we can have no community.” This philosophy dominates his writings. In The Unsettling of America, published in 1977, Mr Berry criticized the natural damage caused by large agribusinesses. He thinks capitalism has separated farming from culture and disconnected people from nature. Mr Berry’s fiction explores the decline of values by following Port William’s interconnected clans (家族) as they enter the modern age. In Dismemberment, a short story, Andy Catlett loses a hand to a harvesting machine and becomes a loner. He sees his withdrawal is mistaken and reconnects with the town, finding “the wealth of an intimate history” in belonging to “his ancestral place”. In Hannah Coulter, Mr Berry’s seventh novel, the main character Hannah Coulter grows old after a sad life and anticipates loneliness when her children leave to find work in the city. Instead her hope is restored when her grandson returns to run the farm. These stories offer insightful advice for readers living through ecological disaster. Though few can return to farming basics, Mr Berry’s messages of building communities, being a good neighbor and resisting the invitation of modern life are still valuable. 1．Why did Mr Berry’s friends think he was mad? A．He moved to live in the countryside. B．He turned down Offerman’s request. C．He wrote most of his novels by hand. D．He gave up his career as an intellectual. 2．What do Mr Berry’s writings often imply? A．The challenges of farming in old days. B．The harmony between man and nature. C．The real benefits of large agribusinesses. D．The hard lives of his forebears in Kentucky. 3．What do Andy Catlett and Hannah Coulter have in common? A．They are from the same novel. B．They both choose to live alone. C．They are victims of country life. D．They both find their values again. 4．What would be the best title for the text? A．Wendell Berry: a rural writer living a modern life B．Wendell Berry: a strong voice for modern farming C．Discover why Wendell Berry’s rural tales shine D．Find out how Wendell Berry adapts to new environments 【答案】1．A 2．B 3．D 4．C 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Wendell Berry搬到农村去住，他觉得记录这个地方的历史是他内心的召唤。在此期间他创作了许多作品，在Berry先生看来，人类必须爱护赋予他们生命的地球。他认为资本主义使农业与文化分离，使人与自然分离。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段“Wendell Berry was almost 30 when he packed up his life as a New York intellectual and moved to Port Royal, a tiny community in Kentucky where generations of his forebears (祖先) had farmed the land. His friends thought he was mad.(Wendell Berry快30岁时结束了他在纽约的作家生涯，搬到了肯塔基州的一个小社区——罗亚尔港，他的祖先几代人都在这里耕种。他的朋友们都认为他疯了)”可知，Berry先生的朋友们认为他疯了因为他搬到农村去住了。故选A项。 2．推理判断题。根据第三段“In The Unsettling of America, published in 1977, Mr Berry criticized the natural damage caused by large agribusinesses. He thinks capitalism has separated farming from culture and disconnected people from nature.(在1977年出版的《美国的不安》一书中，Berry批评了大型农业综合企业造成的自然破坏。他认为资本主义使农业与文化分离，使人与自然分离)”可知，Berry先生的作品通常暗示了人与自然的和谐。故选B。 3．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“In Dismemberment, a short story, Andy Catlett loses a hand to a harvesting machine and becomes a loner. He sees his withdrawal is mistaken and reconnects with the town, finding ‘the wealth of an intimate history’ in belonging to ‘his ancestral place’. In Hannah Coulter, Mr Berry’s seventh novel, the main character Hannah Coulter grows old after a sad life and anticipates loneliness when her children leave to find work in the city. Instead her hope is restored when her grandson returns to run the farm.(在短篇小说《肢解》中，安迪·卡特利特被收割机夺去了一只手，成为了一个孤独的人。他发现自己的撤退是错误的，并重新与小镇联系起来，发现‘祖籍的家族历史财富’。在Berry先生的第七部小说《汉娜·库尔特》中，主人公汉娜·库尔特在经历了一段悲伤的生活后变老，并预料到当她的孩子们去城市找工作时，她会感到孤独。相反，当她的孙子回来经营农场时，她的希望又恢复了)”可知，卡特利特和库尔特的共同点在于两者都重新找到了自己的价值。故选D项。 4．主旨大意题。根据最后一段“These stories offer insightful advice for readers living through ecological disaster. Though few can return to farming basics, Mr Berry’s messages of building communities, being a good neighbor and resisting the invitation of modern life are still valuable.(这些故事为生活在生态灾难中的读者提供了深刻的建议。虽然很少有人能回到农耕的基础，但Berry先生所传达的建立社区、做一个好邻居以及抵制现代生活邀请的信息仍然很有价值。)”以及上文内容可知，文章主要讲述了Wendell Berry搬到农村去住，他觉得记录这个地方的历史是他内心的召唤。在此期间他创作了许多作品，在Berry先生看来，人类必须爱护赋予他们生命的地球。他认为资本主义使农业与文化分离，使人与自然分离。所以C选项Discover why Wendell Berry’s rural tales shine(探索Wendell Berry的乡村故事为何大放异彩)最符合文章标题。故选C项。 （24-25高三上·江苏南京·一模）When the pool near Paris where he worked as a lifeguard was closed due to poor economic conditions, Guillaume Pop took jobs at various other pools that were almost empty. At one pool there was a small waterslide (水滑道), which gave the 22-year-old former competitive swimmer an idea: he would make a TikTok video in which he pretended to be a“professional waterslide tester”. Shooting down a slide in hard hat and hi-viz vest (防护衣) or smiling broadly in cool shapes to the music, Pop soon became a social media hit. He was hired to “test” slides and other facilities at water parks, swimming pools and campsites all over France. Today, he has more than half a million followers on TikTok and his own real-life waterslide-testing business. No longer working as a lifeguard, he travels the country checking the condition of waterslides, trying them out to determine how fun they are and creating amusing videos to attract customers. “First of all, I check it without water, to make sure it’s in an acceptable state,” explains Pop, who must keep up-to-date on water park regulations. If he finds a waterslide needs work — for example, if there are bumpy joints, which can hurt sliders — management will bring in a specialist repairer. “After that, I test it with water,” Pop says. Then he moves on to the fun, promotional aspect. Sometimes he takes over a leisure park and invites social media influencers to enjoy it too. In 2022, he took 25 influencers to O’Gliss Park, an enormous water park on the Atlantic coast. Pop estimates he’s tested around 700 French waterslides and is now eyeing water parks abroad, such as Switzerland, Portugal and Spain, where he has been testing slides during the winter. “It’s the best job in the world,” declares Pop, whose videos have received 80 million views. “I’m not behind a desk. I’m active and outside in the sun. And I build a positive relationship with customers. In fact, all the children tell me they want to be a waterslide tester!” 1．What motivated Guillaume Pop to make TikTok videos about waterslides? A．His interest in lifeguarding techniques. B．His passion for competitive swimming. C．A suggestion from his friends to become a social media hit. D．The loss of his lifeguard job due to poor economic conditions. 2．How did Guillaume Pop’s career change after gaining popularity on TikTok? A．He began working as a manager at a water park. B．He started a real-life waterslide-testing business. C．He joined a professional swimming team in Paris. D．He became a lifeguard at multiple pools in France. 3．Why does Guillaume Pop describe his job as“the best job in the world”? A．He gains a high salary and job security. B．He tests over 700 waterslides in France. C．He gets to travel extensively to different countries. D．He enjoys working outdoors and interacting with customers. 4．Which is a suitable title for the text? A．Guillaume Pop: The TikTok Star of Water Parks B．Guillaume Pop: From Lifeguard to a Traveler in Paris C．Guillaume Pop’s Journey: From Pool Closures to Waterslide Adventures D．Guillaume Pop’s Journey: Creating Waves in Swimming Pools 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．D 4．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了曾经的救生员Guillaume Pop通过制作水滑道测试的TikTok视频成为社交媒体红人，并成功转型为专业的水滑道测试员，拥有自己的业务和大量粉丝。 1．细节理解题。根据文章第一段“When the pool near Paris where he worked as a lifeguard was closed due to poor economic conditions, Guillaume Pop took jobs at various other pools that were almost empty. At one pool there was a small waterslide, which gave the 22-year-old former competitive swimmer an idea: he would make a TikTok video in which he pretended to be a“professional waterslide tester”.(当他在巴黎附近担任救生员的游泳池因经济状况不佳而关闭时，Guillaume Pop开始在其他几乎空无一人的游泳池找活干。在一个游泳池里有一条小型水滑道，这给了这位22岁的前竞技游泳运动员一个主意：他决定制作一段TikTok视频，在视频中扮演一名“专业水滑道测试员”)”可知，由于经济状况不佳，Guillaume Pop失去了救生员的工作，这促使他制作了关于水上滑道的TikTok视频。故选D。 2．细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Today, he has more than half a million followers on TikTok and his own real-life waterslide-testing business. No longer working as a lifeguard, he travels the country checking the condition of waterslides, trying them out to determine how fun they are and creating amusing videos to attract customers.(如今，他在TikTok上有超过50万粉丝，并且拥有自己的真实生活中的水滑道测试业务。不再做救生员工作的他，现在周游全国，检查水滑道的状态，亲自体验以判断它们是否有趣，并创作搞笑视频来吸引顾客)”可知，在TikTok上走红后，他开始了一项现实生活中的滑水测试业务。故选B。 3．推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“‘It’s the best job in the world,’ declares Pop, whose videos have received 80 million views. ‘I’m not behind a desk. I’m active and outside in the sun. And I build a positive relationship with customers. In fact, all the children tell me they want to be a waterslide tester!’(‘这是世界上最好的工作，’Pop宣称，他的视频已经获得了8000万的观看量。‘我不坐在桌子后面。我很活跃，在阳光下户外活动。我与顾客建立了积极的关系。事实上，所有的孩子都告诉我他们想成为一名水上滑道测试员！’)”可知，Guillaume Pop认为自己的工作是世界上最好的工作是因为他可以在户外活动，同时与客户建立积极的关系。故选D。 4．主旨大意题。通读全篇，文章主要讲述了Guillaume Pop的职业生涯从救生员到成为一名水滑道测试员的过程，故C项“Guillaume Pop的旅程：从游泳池关闭到水上滑道冒险”适合作为文章的标题。故选C。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
