备战2025年高考英语名校模拟真题速递(新高考八省专用) 第一期 专题04 记叙文10篇 （24-25高三上·宁夏石嘴山·阶段练习）Raised in a fatherless home, my father was extremely tightfisted towards us children. His attitude didn’t soften as I grew into adulthood and drifted away to college. I had to ride the bus whenever I came home. Though the bus stopped about two miles from home, Dad never met me, even in cold weather. If I grumbled (嘟囔), he’d say in his loudest father voice, “That’s what your legs are for!” The walk didn’t bother me as much as the fear of walking alone along the highway and country roads. I also felt less than valued that my father didn’t seem concerned about my safety. That feeling was canceled one spring evening. It had been a particularly difficult week at college after long hours in labs. I longed for home. When the bus reached a stop, I stepped off and dragged my suitcase to begin the long journey home. A row of hedge (篱笆) edged the driveway that climbed the hill to our house. Once I had turned off the highway to start the last lap of my journey, I was always relieved to see the hedge because it meant that I was almost home. On that particular evening, the hedge had just come into view when I saw something gray moving along the top of the hedge, moving toward the house. Upon closer observation, I realized it was the top of my father’s head. Then I knew, each time I’d come home, he had stood behind the hedge, watching, until he knew I had arrived safely. I swallowed hard against the threatening tears. He did care, after all. On later visits, that spot of gray became my watchtower. I could hardly wait until I was close enough to watch for its secret movement above the greenery. Upon reaching home, I would find my father sitting innocently in his chair. “So! My son, it’s you!” he’d say, his face lengthening into pretended surprise. I replied, “Yes, Dad, it’s me. I’m home.” 1．What did the author think of the two-mile walk home? A．It reflected his value. B．It was the most troublesome. C．It wasn’t ranked number one in his concerns. D．It was extremely unbearable in cold weathers. 2．How did the author feel when he saw the hedge? A．Disappointed. B．Hopeful. C．Frustrated. D．Regretful. 3．Why did the author’s father watch behind the hedge? A．The author often changed routes back home. B．He wanted to help the author build up courage. C．He was really concerned about his son’s safety. D．That was the only way he could express his love. 4．What is the passage mainly about? A．It’s about my father’s special love. B．It’s about my childhood life. C．It’s about my terrible journey home. D．It’s about my riding bus alone. （24-25高三上·内蒙古赤峰·阶段练习）On a hot June day in 2015, I retired after 34 years of teaching high school. Then, I drove to meet my new piano teacher, Mark. I had worked for more than three decades as a busy English teacher with an endless stream of papers to mark and precious little time to experiment or learn new skills. I was determined to make up for all I had been missing. I wanted to finally master the piano and learn how to make music. I told Mark I had a specific concrete goal: to play Clair de lune by Claude Debussy, a piece I remember hearing from early childhood. Determined that there would be a day when I would totally master this piece, I set myself a deadline: I would perform before a gathering of friends on my 60th birthday. For months I did nothing but furiously (猛烈地) practise. When the day came, around 30 friends and relatives crowded into my dining room to hear me play, and aside from a few minor slips, I managed to pull it off without embarrassing myself. People clapped warmly. I made it. I had risen to a challenge, but I still didn’t feel that I was really “making music”. After that, my progress was painfully slow. I had come to hate hearing myself play music badly. I got no pleasure from the act of missing notes. I began focusing on what few things I could do: gardening and cycling. I came to understand that I didn’t have to be that man I’d always thought I ought to be. I could just do what feels good. So, after nearly five years of lessons, I quit. I still love music; I regularly go out to concerts. But now my piano does nothing more than sit silently in my dining room, displaying family photos and collecting dust. And I’m perfectly happy with that. 1．Why did the author learn the piano after retiring from teaching? A．To impress his friends and relatives. B．To avoid the boredom of retirement.

B．The author performed successfully despite a few errors. C．The author felt embarrassed about his piano performance. D．The author quit his piano immediately after his 60th birthday. 3．What does the author do with his piano now? A．He uses it for music lessons. B．He uses it for performance. C．He uses it for something unrelated to music. D．He plays it for personal enjoyment occasionally. 4．Which of the following can best describe the author? A．Inner- directed and hardworking. B．Conventional and careless. C．Ambitious and kind-hearted. D．Lazy and pessimistic. （24-25高三上·云南大理·阶段练习）For the past decade, Benjamin Sack has been an artist-in-residence on a Holland American cruise ship. This unique opportunity allows him to observe architectural details from cities worldwide, which he then engages into his detailed pen drawings. Sack first approached Holland America—a company known for its round-the-world cruises — after he finished university. He pitched a unique idea: an “artist residency” where he’d give drawing classes and lectures to passengers on art. He also offered to create a large drawing to record the voyage. “Long story short, they loved the idea and welcomed me aboard, saying it would only happen this one year. Ten years later, I’m now the court artist to King Neptune himself,” he says jokingly. Sack now has his own artist studio on board the ship, where he works on his drawings inspired by the journeys around the world. “I’m lucky in that the room comes with a view that's ever changing,” he says. “Perhaps it’s the best art studio in the world.” At the end of each voyage, he presents the final drawing to the passengers and crew. Sack captures the incredible scale and complexity of his journeys, as well as the rich details that define each place. From the splendid architecture of Japan’s Himeji Castle to the elegant modern buildings on Singapore’s Marina Bay, his works are a magical mirror of world architecture. Florence, in particular, is a favorite destination, and its iconic Duomo has been included into many drawings. “Architecture is merely music frozen in time,” Sack poetically expresses. “It also can represent the human form in countless ways, physically and metaphorically: the body is a temple... So, in fact, each building is a character, portrait, or even a note fitted together in a symphony of movement and form.” “On land, the drawings are fixed to the studio. On the ship, the studio travels, and the drawing exactly records the movement of a journey around the planet-as I draw lines, a little bit of the ship’s movement is recorded; this slight difference repeated a thousand times breathes a whole different spirit into the work,” he shares. 1．What is special about Benjamin Sack？ A．He is an architect who draws great pictures. B．He lives both in Holland and America. C．He creates pen drawings at sea. D．He possesses a ship company. 2．What do we know about Sack’s career？ A．The idea didn’t emerge until he went on a round-the-world cruise. B．He proposed to the company his idea at university. C．He now serves the King as a court artist. D．It has lasted longer time than expected. 3．What does paragraph 5 mainly talk about？ A．Sack’s first impression of different architecture. B．The themes and features of Sack’s works. C．Sack’s ideas about the world. D．The places Sack has been to. 4．What attaches different spirit to his work according to Sack？ A．The subtle changes in his repeated lines. B．His extraordinary drawing techniques. C．The literary records in the journey. D．The best art studio in the world. （24-25高三上·山西·阶段练习）Gaia, a 9-year-old dog, lived in Dallas, Texas, with her elderly owner, Sandra.

The idea resonated (引起共鸣) with us immediately - instead of selling the books we didn’t want to read, we could simply walk them to the roadside. Fifteen or so years later, it’s safe to say that thousands of books, as well as the occasional DVDs, CDs and jigsaw puzzles have been shared through our little library. Situated on a busy street just a few blocks from a subway station, our little library sees dozens, perhaps hundreds, of passers- by each day. Many of those who use our library do not hesitate to share their love of this neighborhood resource. A young lady regularly stops by to pick up books for a nearby retirement home. At other times, we have received cards and gifts, including chocolates and even a personalized drawing from a local artist. Like the people who use our library, the books that come and go reflect the broad diversity of our city. Books in Arabic, French, and Russian are commonly found alongside the dominant (占主导地位的) English - language books. I’ve even collected favorite books of mine in languages I don’t understand, simply for the joy of adding another edition to my collection. Surprisingly, our library hasn’t dealt with our book storage problem - if anything, we now have more books than ever before. I have heard some complaints that Little Free Libraries do not always serve the purpose of building community and may compete with our public libraries and independent bookstores. This has not been our experience. We continue to buy more books than we need and we are fiercely loyal users of the public system. Our Little Free Library has raised our love of reading and has connected us to a community of book lovers in the heart of our busy neighborhood. 1．Why did the author and her husband create the Little Free Library? A．To make friends with book lovers. B．To deal with their unwanted books. C．To show their kindness to the neighbors. D．To make use of community resources. 2．What is the main idea of paragraph 3? A．The various resources of the library. B．People’s contributions to the library. C．People’s love for the library. D．The author’s devotion to the neighborhood. 3．What can we learn about the library according to paragraph 4? A．It reflects the city diversity. B．It has advantages over public libraries. C．It only has books of dominant languages. D．It has solved the problem of book storage. 4．What is the best title for the text? A．The Comfortable Reading Corner: Promoting Reading B．The Whispering Pages: Tales from a Shared Library C．The Little Free Library: Contributing to Closer Connection D．The Magic Bookshelf: Account of Neighborhood Harmony （24-25高三上·云南昆明·开学考试）Kallan Benson was born in Sweden in 2006.

There, he joined a literary club with friends who shared his passion. However, World War I changed everything for him and his friends. During the Battle of the Somme, his unit suffered heavy losses, but John was sent home because he had trench fever, which saved his life. By the end of the war, many of his literary friends had not survived. After the war, John became a professor at Oxford. Despite his academic responsibilities, he had a strong desire to write his own fiction. Inspired by fairytales, he began creating a grand mythology for England. However, when he tried to publish this extensive work, publishers rejected it, finding it too long and complicated. In addition to his mythology, John entertained his children with bedtime stories, often making them up on the spot. One day, he wrote, "In a hole in the ground there lived a Hobbit." This simple line led to the creation of The Hobbit, a children's book that became very popular and made John Ronald Reuel Tolkien a well-known author. Despite the success of The Hobbit, Tolkien never gave up on his grand mythology, which he named The Silmarillion.

But this time it was different. I’d be there alone for a whole year, without friends or family. Plus, I had one challenge other volunteers fighting AIDS in Africa didn’t have — I was in a wheelchair. At eight years old, I was paralyzed (瘫痪的) from the waist down in a car accident. I spent months in a hospital, learning how to use a wheelchair, how to get up from the floor and how to dress myself. Basically how to live my life as independently as possible. After graduation from college, I made a year- long commitment to Lily of the Valley Children’s Village, outside Mophela, South Africa, where 90 percent of the children are infected with HIV. I would see to the kids’ medical needs and teach math and English. Those first few weeks were hard, harder than anything I had done before. I forced myself to keep trying. I needed to prove myself. But how could I tell if I was doing any good? One night, a big storm hit. I rolled out of my cottage the next morning and my chair lurched (突然倾斜), the wheels sinking into mud. I grasped the wheels tight and pushed hard. The chair wouldn’t move. All of my worst worries seemed to be coming true. I was stuck, hopelessly stuck. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw children running toward me. Two of the oldest grabbed the handlebars and the others pushed me forward. The wheels came free. The kids shouted with delight. When I said “Thank you!”, they laughed, “You help us. We help you.” That echoed in my ears all day. The next morning, the kids were waiting to push me through the mud to homework club. And the day after that, it became our little routine. The more they helped me, the easier it got to help them. The kids and I bonded. I wasn’t alone during my year in Africa. Not at all.

I remember back in high school when my girl Clara and I were the only two girls in the gym working out and lifting weights. Yes, this was back in the dinosaur days when girls didn’t go to the gym. There were all these posters around Arnold. He was the bodybuilder of the day. He won the Mr. Universe title aged 20, and subsequently the Mr. Olympia title seven times.

Anne Mortlock initially felt hesitant about traveling alone, but was encouraged by her sister, a travel agent, to take her first solo trip with Just You, a tour company catering to solo travelers. Her first voyage took her to China, which she found “just perfect”, prompting her to quickly book another adventure to Namibia. In Namibia, Anne experienced what she called “happy to be alive” moments, including an unforgettable encounter with a herd of elephants during a game drive. The sight was so awe- inspiring that it made her speechless. She chose to capture the essence of the moment rather than trying to record it with her camera. Other highlights included an optional cruise (乘船游览) in Walvis Bay, where she enjoyed dolphin sightings along with oysters and champagne. The natural beauty of Namibia’s deserts and sand hills left a lasting impression on Anne, as did the iconic trees of the Petrified Forest, which are believed to be 700 years old. She appreciated the guidance of a local tour guide who introduced them to unique locations, such as a mountaintop offering unique views of the plains below. Traveling with a diverse group of fellow solo adventurers, Anne developed lifelong friendships. She explained: “The group was a nice mix of ages and everyone had such a mix of life stories and experiences — they were a fascinating bunch of people to travel with. These connections were so impactful that four of us in the group planned future activities together back in the UK.” Now filled with confidence to explore more of the world, Anne is looking forward to traveling to Vietnam with her sister and brother- in- law.

Then, I drove to meet my new piano teacher, Mark. I had worked for more than three decades as a busy English teacher with an endless stream of papers to mark and precious little time to experiment or learn new skills. I was determined to make up for all I had been missing. I wanted to finally master the piano and learn how to make music. I told Mark I had a specific concrete goal: to play Clair de lune by Claude Debussy, a piece I remember hearing from early childhood. Determined that there would be a day when I would totally master this piece, I set myself a deadline: I would perform before a gathering of friends on my 60th birthday. For months I did nothing but furiously (猛烈地) practise. When the day came, around 30 friends and relatives crowded into my dining room to hear me play, and aside from a few minor slips, I managed to pull it off without embarrassing myself. People clapped warmly. I made it. I had risen to a challenge, but I still didn’t feel that I was really “making music”. After that, my progress was painfully slow. I had come to hate hearing myself play music badly. I got no pleasure from the act of missing notes. I began focusing on what few things I could do: gardening and cycling. I came to understand that I didn’t have to be that man I’d always thought I ought to be. I could just do what feels good. So, after nearly five years of lessons, I quit. I still love music; I regularly go out to concerts. But now my piano does nothing more than sit silently in my dining room, displaying family photos and collecting dust. And I’m perfectly happy with that. 1．Why did the author learn the piano after retiring from teaching? A．To impress his friends and relatives. B．To avoid the boredom of retirement. C．To start a new career as a concert pianist. D．To pursue a long-time passion for music. 2．What can be inferred from paragraph 4? A．The author attended a concert of piano music. B．The author performed successfully despite a few errors. C．The author felt embarrassed about his piano performance. D．The author quit his piano immediately after his 60th birthday. 3．What does the author do with his piano now? A．He uses it for music lessons. B．He uses it for performance. C．He uses it for something unrelated to music. D．He plays it for personal enjoyment occasionally. 4．Which of the following can best describe the author? A．Inner- directed and hardworking.

D．Lazy and pessimistic. 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．C 4．A 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者从最初对钢琴技艺的执着追求，到随后的放下，最终在园艺和骑行中获得满足的故事。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段“I was determined to make up for all I had been missing.

People clapped warmly. I made it. I had risen to a challenge, but I still didn’t feel that I was really “making music”.(我下定决心，总有一天我能完全掌握这首曲子，于是给自己定了一个最后期限：在我20岁生日那天，我要在一群朋友的聚会上表演。几个月来，我除了拼命练习什么也没做。那天，大约有30个亲戚朋友挤在我的餐厅里听我演奏，除了一些小失误外，我设法做到了，没有让自己尴尬。人们热烈鼓掌。我做到了。我已经接受了挑战，但我仍然不觉得我真的在“做音乐”)”可知，尽管有一些小的失误，作者仍出色地完成了表演。故选B。 3．细节理解题。根据最后一段“But now my piano does nothing more than sit silently in my dining room, displaying family photos and collecting dust.(但现在，我的钢琴除了静静地坐在我的餐厅里，展示家庭照片和收集灰尘之外，什么也不做)”可知，作者的钢琴现在被放在餐厅里，积满了灰尘。即作者用钢琴做了一些与音乐无关的事情。故选C。 4．推理判断题。根据第二段“I was determined to make up for all I had been missing. I wanted to finally master the piano and learn how to make music.(我决心弥补我所失去的一切。我想最终掌握钢琴，学习如何制作音乐)”以及第四段“For months I did nothing but furiously (猛烈地) practise.(几个月来，我除了拼命练习什么也没做)”可知，作者是一个有决心且努力奋进的人。故选A。 （24-25高三上·云南大理·阶段练习）For the past decade, Benjamin Sack has been an artist-in-residence on a Holland American cruise ship. This unique opportunity allows him to observe architectural details from cities worldwide, which he then engages into his detailed pen drawings. Sack first approached Holland America—a company known for its round-the-world cruises — after he finished university. He pitched a unique idea: an “artist residency” where he’d give drawing classes and lectures to passengers on art. He also offered to create a large drawing to record the voyage. “Long story short, they loved the idea and welcomed me aboard, saying it would only happen this one year. Ten years later, I’m now the court artist to King Neptune himself,” he says jokingly. Sack now has his own artist studio on board the ship, where he works on his drawings inspired by the journeys around the world. “I’m lucky in that the room comes with a view that's ever changing,” he says. “Perhaps it’s the best art studio in the world.” At the end of each voyage, he presents the final drawing to the passengers and crew. Sack captures the incredible scale and complexity of his journeys, as well as the rich details that define each place. From the splendid architecture of Japan’s Himeji Castle to the elegant modern buildings on Singapore’s Marina Bay, his works are a magical mirror of world architecture. Florence, in particular, is a favorite destination, and its iconic Duomo has been included into many drawings. “Architecture is merely music frozen in time,” Sack poetically expresses. “It also can represent the human form in countless ways, physically and metaphorically: the body is a temple... So, in fact, each building is a character, portrait, or even a note fitted together in a symphony of movement and form.” “On land, the drawings are fixed to the studio. On the ship, the studio travels, and the drawing exactly records the movement of a journey around the planet-as I draw lines, a little bit of the ship’s movement is recorded; this slight difference repeated a thousand times breathes a whole different spirit into the work,” he shares. 1．What is special about Benjamin Sack？ A．He is an architect who draws great pictures. B．He lives both in Holland and America. C．He creates pen drawings at sea. D．He possesses a ship company. 2．What do we know about Sack’s career？ A．The idea didn’t emerge until he went on a round-the-world cruise. B．He proposed to the company his idea at university. C．He now serves the King as a court artist. D．It has lasted longer time than expected. 3．What does paragraph 5 mainly talk about？ A．Sack’s first impression of different architecture. B．The themes and features of Sack’s works. C．Sack’s ideas about the world. D．The places Sack has been to. 4．What attaches different spirit to his work according to Sack？ A．The subtle changes in his repeated lines. B．His extraordinary drawing techniques. C．The literary records in the journey. D．The best art studio in the world. 【答案】1．C 2．D 3．B 4．A 【导语】本文是记叙文。文章讲述了Benjamin Sack作为Holland American邮轮上的驻船艺术家的经历和作品，结合了叙述性的故事情节和描述性的细节描绘，展现了他的艺术生涯、创作灵感以及作品特色。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段“For the past decade, Benjamin Sack has been an artist-in-residence on a Holland American cruise ship.

From the splendid architecture of Japan’s Himeji Castle to the elegant modern buildings on Singapore’s Marina Bay, his works are a magical mirror of world architecture. Florence, in particular, is a favorite destination, and its iconic Duomo has been included into many drawings. “Architecture is merely music frozen in time,” Sack poetically expresses. “It also can represent the human form in countless ways, physically and metaphorically: the body is a temple... So, in fact, each building is a character, portrait, or even a note fitted together in a symphony of movement and form.”(Sack捕捉到了他旅行中的惊人规模和复杂性，以及定义每个地方的丰富细节。从日本姬路城的宏伟建筑到新加坡滨海湾的优雅现代建筑，他的作品就像一面神奇的镜子，映照出世界建筑的风采。特别是佛罗伦萨，是他最喜欢的目的地之一，其标志性的圣母百花大教堂已被融入到许多画作中。“建筑只是时间中凝固的音乐，”Sack诗意地表达道。“它还可以以无数种方式在物质和隐喻上代表人类形态：身体是一座庙宇……因此，事实上，每座建筑都是一个角色、一幅肖像，甚至是一个音符，它们共同构成了一场运动和形式的交响乐。”)”可知，本段主要讲述了Sack作品的主题和特点。故选B项。 4．细节理解题。根据最后一段““On land, the drawings are fixed to the studio. On the ship, the studio travels, and the drawing exactly records the movement of a journey around the planet-as I draw lines, a little bit of the ship’s movement is recorded; this slight difference repeated a thousand times breathes a whole different spirit into the work,” he shares.(“在陆地上，画作是固定在工作室里的。在船上，工作室是移动的，而画作则准确地记录了环球旅行的轨迹——当我画线时，船的移动也被稍微记录了下来；这种微小的差异重复了上千次，为作品注入了完全不同的灵魂，”他分享道。)”可知，Sack表示他的每一笔线条都纪录下了游轮航行过程中的细微移动，这给他的作品注入了完全不同的灵魂。故选A项。 （24-25高三上·山西·阶段练习）Gaia, a 9-year-old dog, lived in Dallas, Texas, with her elderly owner, Sandra. However, when Sandra fell ill and was hospitalized, Gaia found herself limited to a small backyard, longing for companionship. It was during this challenging time that a sympathetic neighbour, Lisa Kanarek, noticed Gaia’s solitude and decided to make a difference. Despite having only met Sandra a few times and barely knowing Gaia, Lisa extended a helping hand, offering to take Gaia for a walk.

The idea resonated (引起共鸣) with us immediately - instead of selling the books we didn’t want to read, we could simply walk them to the roadside. Fifteen or so years later, it’s safe to say that thousands of books, as well as the occasional DVDs, CDs and jigsaw puzzles have been shared through our little library. Situated on a busy street just a few blocks from a subway station, our little library sees dozens, perhaps hundreds, of passers- by each day. Many of those who use our library do not hesitate to share their love of this neighborhood resource. A young lady regularly stops by to pick up books for a nearby retirement home. At other times, we have received cards and gifts, including chocolates and even a personalized drawing from a local artist. Like the people who use our library, the books that come and go reflect the broad diversity of our city. Books in Arabic, French, and Russian are commonly found alongside the dominant (占主导地位的) English - language books. I’ve even collected favorite books of mine in languages I don’t understand, simply for the joy of adding another edition to my collection. Surprisingly, our library hasn’t dealt with our book storage problem - if anything, we now have more books than ever before. I have heard some complaints that Little Free Libraries do not always serve the purpose of building community and may compete with our public libraries and independent bookstores. This has not been our experience. We continue to buy more books than we need and we are fiercely loyal users of the public system. Our Little Free Library has raised our love of reading and has connected us to a community of book lovers in the heart of our busy neighborhood. 1．Why did the author and her husband create the Little Free Library? A．To make friends with book lovers. B．To deal with their unwanted books. C．To show their kindness to the neighbors. D．To make use of community resources. 2．What is the main idea of paragraph 3? A．The various resources of the library. B．People’s contributions to the library. C．People’s love for the library. D．The author’s devotion to the neighborhood. 3．What can we learn about the library according to paragraph 4? A．It reflects the city diversity. B．It has advantages over public libraries. C．It only has books of dominant languages. D．It has solved the problem of book storage. 4．What is the best title for the text? A．The Comfortable Reading Corner: Promoting Reading B．The Whispering Pages: Tales from a Shared Library C．The Little Free Library: Contributing to Closer Connection D．The Magic Bookshelf: Account of Neighborhood Harmony 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．A 4．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了一对夫妇在家门口建立了一个小型免费图书馆，与社区书籍爱好者建立联系，分享阅读乐趣的故事。 1．推理判断题。根据文章第一段“The idea resonated (引起共鸣) with us immediately — instead of selling the books we didn’t want to read, we could simply walk them to the roadside. (这个想法立刻引起了我们的共鸣——我们可以直接把不想读的书送到路边，而不是卖掉。)”可知，作者建立Little Free Library是为了更好地处理自己不想要的书籍。故选B。 2．主旨大意题。根据文章第三段“Many of those who use our library do not hesitate to share their love of this neighborhood resource. One gentleman regularly stops by to pick up books for a nearby retirement home. At other times, we have received cards and gifts, including chocolates and even a personalized drawing from a local artist. (许多使用我们图书馆的人毫不犹豫地分享他们对这个社区资源的热爱。一位绅士经常路过，为附近的养老院取书。在其他时候，我们收到卡片和礼物，包括巧克力，甚至是当地艺术家的个性化绘画。)”可知，本段主要讲述了人们对图书馆的热爱。故选C。 3．细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Like the people who use our library, the books that come and go reflect the broad diversity of our city.

There, he joined a literary club with friends who shared his passion. However, World War I changed everything for him and his friends. During the Battle of the Somme, his unit suffered heavy losses, but John was sent home because he had trench fever, which saved his life. By the end of the war, many of his literary friends had not survived. After the war, John became a professor at Oxford. Despite his academic responsibilities, he had a strong desire to write his own fiction. Inspired by fairytales, he began creating a grand mythology for England. However, when he tried to publish this extensive work, publishers rejected it, finding it too long and complicated. In addition to his mythology, John entertained his children with bedtime stories, often making them up on the spot. One day, he wrote, "In a hole in the ground there lived a Hobbit." This simple line led to the creation of The Hobbit, a children's book that became very popular and made John Ronald Reuel Tolkien a well-known author. Despite the success of The Hobbit, Tolkien never gave up on his grand mythology, which he named The Silmarillion. Unfortunately, even as a best-selling author, he faced continued rejection from publishers who were more interested in a sequel to The Hobbit than in his complex mythology. Nonetheless, Tolkien stayed committed to his imaginative world, showing his strong dedication to his creative vision. 1．What do we know about John's experience in World War Ⅰ? A．He was saved by a member of his literary club. B．He returned to the battlefield to realize his ambition. C．He survived the most intense fighting in the Somme.

Nonetheless, Tolkien stayed committed to his imaginative world, showing his strong dedication to his creative vision.(不幸的是，即使作为畅销书作家，他也不断遭到出版商的拒绝，他们更感兴趣的是《霍比特人》的续集，而不是他复杂的神话。尽管如此，托尔金仍然致力于他的想象世界，显示出他对自己的创造性愿景的强烈奉献精神。)”可知，约翰不顾拒绝继续创作他的神话的原因是为了去追寻他的梦想。故选A项。 （24-25高三上·河南·阶段练习）Africa- bound! And only seven hours left of a 19- hour flight before I would arrive in South Africa for my third volunteer trip in three years. But this time it was different. I’d be there alone for a whole year, without friends or family. Plus, I had one challenge other volunteers fighting AIDS in Africa didn’t have — I was in a wheelchair. At eight years old, I was paralyzed (瘫痪的) from the waist down in a car accident. I spent months in a hospital, learning how to use a wheelchair, how to get up from the floor and how to dress myself. Basically how to live my life as independently as possible. After graduation from college, I made a year- long commitment to Lily of the Valley Children’s Village, outside Mophela, South Africa, where 90 percent of the children are infected with HIV. I would see to the kids’ medical needs and teach math and English. Those first few weeks were hard, harder than anything I had done before. I forced myself to keep trying. I needed to prove myself. But how could I tell if I was doing any good? One night, a big storm hit. I rolled out of my cottage the next morning and my chair lurched (突然倾斜), the wheels sinking into mud. I grasped the wheels tight and pushed hard. The chair wouldn’t move. All of my worst worries seemed to be coming true. I was stuck, hopelessly stuck. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw children running toward me. Two of the oldest grabbed the handlebars and the others pushed me forward. The wheels came free. The kids shouted with delight. When I said “Thank you!”, they laughed, “You help us. We help you.” That echoed in my ears all day. The next morning, the kids were waiting to push me through the mud to homework club. And the day after that, it became our little routine. The more they helped me, the easier it got to help them. The kids and I bonded. I wasn’t alone during my year in Africa. Not at all. I had reached out to the people I was assisting, and they, in turn, became my support. I was aware, more than ever, that anyone, even in a wheelchair, can make a difference. 1．What was the author’s unique challenge during this volunteer experience? A．Overcoming physical limitations. B．Adapting to a new cultural environment. C．Managing a long- term solo commitment. D．Dealing with the harsh weather conditions. 2．How did the author feel in the first few weeks in South Africa? A．Disappointed and wanting to give up. B．Satisfied with the progress made. C．Uncertain about the effectiveness of his help. D．Frustrated by the children’s lack of cooperation. 3．What was the turning point in the author’s relationship with the children? A．The children’s voluntary assistance. B．The author’s initial arrival in the village. C．The author’s first teaching session. D．The author’s struggle with the wheelchair. 4．What is the main idea of the passage? A．The struggle of adapting to a new environment. B．The transformative power of mutual support. C．The challenges of living with a physical disability. D．The impact of education on underprivileged children. 【答案】1．A 2．C 3．A 4．B 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述的是作者虽然身有残疾，需要坐轮椅，但是在南非的志愿服务中通过与孩子们的互助，实现了自我价值并深刻体会到了人与人之间相互支持的力量。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段“Plus, I had one challenge other volunteers fighting AIDS in Africa didn’t have — I was in a wheelchair. (此外，我还有一个其他在非洲抗击艾滋病的志愿者没有的挑战——我坐在轮椅上)”可知，作者在南非的志愿者经历中，特殊的挑战是他的身体残疾，这与其他人相比是一个额外的障碍。故选A。 2．推理判断题。根据第四段“Those first few weeks were hard, harder than anything I had done before. I forced myself to keep trying. I needed to prove myself. But how could I tell if I was doing any good? (最初的几个星期非常艰难，比我以前做过的任何事情都要艰难。我强迫自己继续尝试。我需要证明自己。但我怎么知道自己做得好不好呢？)”可知，作者在南非的最初几周非常艰难，他强迫自己继续试，并且想知道自己是否真的做得好，这表明他不确定自己的帮助是否有效果。故选C。 3．推理判断题。根据第六段“Out of the corner of my eye, I saw children running toward me. Two of the oldest grabbed the handlebars and the others pushed me forward. (我从眼角看到孩子们向我跑来。两个年纪最大的抓住车把，其他人推着我往前走)”，可知，孩子们自发的帮助是作者与南非孩子们关系转变的关键时刻。作者的轮椅陷入泥潭，孩子们跑来帮助他时，他们之间的关系开始有了质的变化。孩子们的行动不仅帮助作者摆脱了困境，也象征着他们之间互助的开始。故选A。 4．主旨大意题。根据最后一段“The more they helped me, the easier it got to help them. The kids and I bonded. I wasn’t alone during my year in Africa. Not at all. I had reached out to the people I was assisting, and they, in turn, became my support. I was aware, more than ever, that anyone, even in a wheelchair, can make a difference. (他们帮我越多，我就越容易帮到他们。孩子们和我很亲密。我在非洲的那一年并不孤单。一点也不。我主动联系了我正在帮助的人，而他们反过来又成为了我的支持。我比以往任何时候都更加意识到，任何人，即使是坐在轮椅上，都可以带来改变)”可知，这篇文章的中心主题是互助的变革力量。作者通过自己的经历展示了即使在面临身体障碍和孤立无援的情况下，通过与他人的相互支持，也能实现个人成长和共同发展。故选B。 （24-25高三上·青海西宁·开学考试）She could have just quit. The race was long decided, and it was raining cats and dogs. But the drenched Bou Samnang knew that she was running for her country — Cambodia. So she kept going, racing alone on a track in Phnom Penh. And for that, she has won over fans around the sporting world and beyond. “I tried to reach the finish line because I wanted to show people that in life, even though we go a bit slow or fast, we will reach our destination all the same,” she said in an interview. “Even if we’ re in last place, even if the weather is terrible, even if it feels like we can’t do it, we should not give up.” Social media around the world shared the video of her finishing the women’s 5, 000-meter race on May 8 at the Southeast Asian Games, which Cambodia is hosting for the first time. In the video, the sound of rainfall is mixed with cheers and shouts of encouragement as Bou Samnang finally nears and then crosses the finish line, almost six minutes behind the winner, Vietnam’s Thi Oanh Nguyen. As she waves her hands to acknowledge the fans who brave the rain to cheer her on, her face is wet with tears and rain as she lifts her country’s flag. The athlete said later that she was disappointed to finish last, but also happy to hear people supporting her — and surprised that the video caused such great excitement. The runner’s performance was also noted by Cambodian King Norodom Sihamoni, who said he was proud of her for reminding everyone that sports are about more than winning and losing.

I remember back in high school when my girl Clara and I were the only two girls in the gym working out and lifting weights. Yes, this was back in the dinosaur days when girls didn’t go to the gym. There were all these posters around Arnold. He was the bodybuilder of the day. He won the Mr. Universe title aged 20, and subsequently the Mr. Olympia title seven times. He is widely regarded as one of the greatest bodybuilders of all time and has written many books and articles about it. He was a hero to so many of us gym rats. But what got me was his determination to get where he is today. He had a dream, and he went after it. He came from a small town on the other side of the world. They said he couldn’t make it in bodybuilding, but he went on to be one of the world’s most famous bodybuilders. They said he would never be an actor because of his accent, but in spite of that, he became box office gold. They said he had no potential for becoming a governor, but he showed them, winning not one but two terms in office and making some world changes while in there. He didn’t let anything or anyone stop him from what he wanted. No matter how many disappointments, how many failures, or how many people told him he couldn’t do it, it just made him more determined to prove them wrong. So today, my friends, the lesson here is to never give up, to hold onto your dream no matter how crazy others may think it is. To work hard and despite how many times you get knocked down or told no, that you keep fighting. Because as you can see here, dreams do come true. 1．What first inspired the author’s admiration for Schwarzenegger? A．His career as an actor. B．His success in politics.

Anne Mortlock initially felt hesitant about traveling alone, but was encouraged by her sister, a travel agent, to take her first solo trip with Just You, a tour company catering to solo travelers. Her first voyage took her to China, which she found “just perfect”, prompting her to quickly book another adventure to Namibia. In Namibia, Anne experienced what she called “happy to be alive” moments, including an unforgettable encounter with a herd of elephants during a game drive. The sight was so awe- inspiring that it made her speechless. She chose to capture the essence of the moment rather than trying to record it with her camera. Other highlights included an optional cruise (乘船游览) in Walvis Bay, where she enjoyed dolphin sightings along with oysters and champagne. The natural beauty of Namibia’s deserts and sand hills left a lasting impression on Anne, as did the iconic trees of the Petrified Forest, which are believed to be 700 years old. She appreciated the guidance of a local tour guide who introduced them to unique locations, such as a mountaintop offering unique views of the plains below. Traveling with a diverse group of fellow solo adventurers, Anne developed lifelong friendships. She explained: “The group was a nice mix of ages and everyone had such a mix of life stories and experiences — they were a fascinating bunch of people to travel with. These connections were so impactful that four of us in the group planned future activities together back in the UK.” Now filled with confidence to explore more of the world, Anne is looking forward to traveling to Vietnam with her sister and brother- in- law. She also has her eye on Costa Rica and another African adventure, though she has yet to decide on a specific destination. 1．What does the underlined word “prompting” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A．Reminding. B．Allowing. C．Causing. D．Instructing. 2．Which can best describe Anne when she was in Namibia? A．Delighted and grateful. B．Surprised and proud. C．Regretful but relieved.

Reminding提醒；B. Allowing允许；C. Causing导致，造成；D. Instructing指导。故选C。 2．推理判断题。由文章第三段中“In Namibia, Anne experienced what she called “happy to be alive” moments, including an unforgettable encounter with a herd of elephants during a game drive.

She explained: “The group was a nice mix of ages and everyone had such a mix of life stories and experiences — they were a fascinating bunch of people to travel with. These connections were so impactful that four of us in the group planned future activities together back in the UK.”(与形形色色的独自冒险家同行一起旅行，安妮建立了一生的友谊。她解释说：“这群人年龄不同，每个人都有不同的生活故事和经历——他们是一群迷人的旅行伙伴”这些联系非常有影响力，以至于我们四个人一起计划了未来在英国的活动。”)”可推断出，他们让安妮的旅行变得丰富多彩。故选B。 4．推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是由文章第一段“Going on your first solo (独自的) holiday can be a frightening prospect — in fact, it took Anne Mortlock three years to pick up the courage to book her first adventure.
