(24-25高三上·浙江·阶段练习)As Elizabeth Stone once said, “Having children is like having your heart go walking around outside of your body.” You send them off to school and hope that the world treats them kindly because when they hurt, you hurt. Surely it’s inevitable that your child will experience hurt feelings at some point. So, it’s wise to be ready for those moments.
But what truly prepares you for the moment when the child you love so much unexpectedly heals the wounds of your own inner child? A mom, who goes by Soogia, posted a video on TikTok explaining a phone call she received from a parent in her daughter’s classroom. The mom called to inform Soogia that their kids had been sharing lunch with each other.
Soogia wasn’t prepared for what came next. The classmate’s mother informed her that her son loved the food Soogia’s daughter brought to school and wanted to learn how to cook it too.
That may seem like a small thing to some, but the small gesture healed a little bit of Soogia’s inner child. Growing up as a Korean kid in California, Soogia had different experiences from her children.
“I guess I just never thought that my kids would be the generation of kids that could go to school and not just proudly eat, but share their food with other kids that were just so open and accepting to it,” Soogia said through tears. “They don’t sit there eating their food alone, feeling ashamed and wishing that their fried rice was a bagel instead or something like that. And I know, it sounds so small and it sounds so stupid, but knowing that their experience at school is so different from mine in such a positive way is just so hopeful.”
Soogia’s tearful video pulled at the heartstrings of her viewers who shared their thoughts in the comments.
“These Gen Alpha babies really are a different, kinder generation. I love them so much,” someone revealed.

(24-25高三上·浙江·开学考试)Growing up as a kid in the UK, I was fascinated by insects. 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.Minor things in life can carry weight.
C.Childhood experiences sculpt a career.
D.Hard work contributes to great achievements.
(24-25高三上·浙江·阶段练习)In medical school and throughout his career as a neonatologist, William Cashore was often asked to read and correct others’ work. Little did they know that he was a spelling champion, with a trophy(奖品) at home to prove it. Cashore won the Scripps National Spelling Bee in 1954 at age 14. Now 84, he’s the oldest living champi on of the contest, which dates back to 1925. As contestants from this year’s competition headed home, he reflected on his experience and the effect it had on him.
Cashore credits his parents for helping him prepare for his trip to Washington, D.C. , for the spelling bee. His mother was an elementary school teacher and his father was a lab technician with a talent for taking words apart and putting them back together.
When the field narrowed to two competitors, the other boy misspelled “uncinate”, which means bent like a hook. Cashore spelled it correctly, then clinched the title with the word “transept”, an architectural term for the transverse part of a cross- shaped church.
Cashore, who was given $500 and an encyclopedia set, enjoyed a brief turn as a celebrity. He didn’t br ag about his accomplishment after returning to Pennsylvania, but the experience quietly shaped him in multiple ways. “It gave me much more self-confidence and also gave me a sense that it’s very important to try to get things as correct as possible,” he said. “I’ve always been that way, and I still feel that way. If people are careless about spelling and writing, you wonder if they’ re careless about their thinking.”
“Preparing for a spelling bee today requires more concentration and technique than it did decades ago,” Cashore said. “The vocabulary of the words are far, far more technical. The English language, in the meantime, has imported a great many words from foreign languages which were not part of the English language when I was in eighth grade,” he added.
1.What can we learn about Cashore from the first two paragraphs?
A.He is the best ever spelling champion. B.He prepared alone for the spelling bee.
C.He used his spelling ability to help others. D.He preferred to show off his spelling talent.
2.What does the word “clinched” underlined in paragraph 3 refer to?
A.Won. B.Declined. C.Removed. D.Gave.
3.How did the spelling bee competition affect Cashore?
A.It helped him start his career. B.It strengthened his confidence.
C.It limited his way of thinking. D.It brought him lasting popularity.
4.What should we do to prepare for today’s spelling bee according to Cashore?
A.Learn multiple languages. B.Go abroad for language study.
C.Be a remarkable technician. D.Try to improve relevant skills.
(24-25高三上·浙江·阶段练习)Chin was partially paralysed in 2018 after a stroke. 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.”

(2024·浙江嘉兴·模拟预测)Sweat slips down my cheek as I glide (滑动) my fingers through the cool water. I’ve reached the turnaround point of the day’s kayaking (皮划艇) trip. I attempt a shoulder stretch and look around. It’s just me, a couple of seabirds, and shining freshwater to the horizon. This, I whisper to myself, is awesome.
Solo (独自的) outings had never crossed my mind before because I always had a friend with me. But three years ago, I moved to Cleveland. Meeting friends in a new city was tough.
In October 2020, I decided to take adventure on a solo hiking trip. I went to Cuyahoga Valley National Park (CVNP) to admire the autumn leaves. Four miles in, I couldn’t remember the last time I’d felt so alive. I was more aware of my surroundings than I’d ever been while hiking that day. I studied the markings of trees, focused my ears on each forest sound and did something I almost never made time for: I listened to my own thoughts. Every word bubble in my mind pointed to a newfound truth-solo hiking is my happy place.
When spring arrived, I decided to check off another solo sport: kayaking. My chest, initially tightened by nerves, was bursting with happiness when I finally reached the middle of the river that I’d long admired back on shore.
Since that first solo hiking, adventuring alone has become like medicine for me. It has also pushed me to go beyond my comfort zone and to meet new people. Through meetups and social media, my adventure-friend circle has ballooned. But at least once per month, I schedule time to hit nature with my favorite friend: me.

(2024·浙江温州·一模)Five-year-old Mustafa is smiling for the first time in ages. She did not receive a new toy or her favorite candy; rather, she got a wig (假发).
Mustafa had to go through painful procedures after being diagnosed with cancer at an early age. Her father expressed her sadness when she lost her hair after months of chemotherapy (化疗). “She saw children of her age jumping in playgrounds and spending hours styling their hair, while she couldn’t. Losing her hair made her hopeless, negatively impacting her response to treatment,” the girl’s father said.
Coming from a less fortunate family, Mustafa now sits in a humble hairdresser’s in Cairo, sliding her fingers through her new long hair as she looks in the mirror with fresh enthusiasm. Behind that smile and renewed confidence is Salam, from Egypt, who has been personally funding and designing free wigs for children with cancer to give them power to defeat their illness.
Salam took up his mission when he saw a viral video on social media of a young cancer patient who was excited at receiving a new wig. It was the moment when he decided to provide free wigs to children with cancer to lift up their spirits. “Many families can barely afford expensive cancer treatment costs, let alone costly cosmetic services that can play a huge role in restoring children’s confidence and giving them strength to continue their treatment,” said Salam.
As part of the self-funded initiative, Salam purchases the necessary requirements to make a wig, while his father helps design hairstyles to serve different children. So far, Salam has helped over 15 children walk out of his shop empowered with big smiles.
Despite the several challenges, Salam said making wigs gives him as much happiness as it does for his young customers. “Children need the emotional and moral support to go through this tough illness.” He added, “Losing their hair drives them to withdraw into themselves out of fear and embarrassment. I cannot help in their treatment, but I can help them get through it.”
1.Why are a toy and candy mentioned in paragraph 1?
A.To indicate the girl’s age. B.To imply a serious illness.
C.To show the shortage of toys and candies. D.To highlight the value of the wig.
2.What can be learned from the father’s words?
A.Hairstyle matters much. B.Sports benefit Mustafa.
C.Hair loss depressed Mustafa. D.Mustafa’s treatment failed.
3.What led to Salam’s decision on the mission?
A.His sympathy. B.Family support.
C.Government fund. D.Mustafa’s enthusiasm.
4.What kind of person is Salam according to the passage?
A.Cautious and innovative. B.Inspiring and talented.
C.Sensitive and empathetic. D.Ambitious and sensible.
(2024·浙江·模拟预测)Well, it isn’t a long story, but I wonder if you will really understand.
I used to be crazy about hunting. There’s a thrill in hunting, an excitement that comes over you when a deer crashes out of the bush. After hunting, you also feel great to show off with the boys.
It was like that the last time I was in the woods. I went up into the hills alone, heading for a well-used deer trail. Sure enough there were fresh tracks in the snow. Then I saw him. A deer, a big beautiful deer! Surely I couldn’t miss! I waited for him to realize I was there and run away. But he fooled me completely. He came towards me! He was curious, I suppose, or maybe he was stupid—how else can you explain it?
He must have known about men and guns. But he came closer, putting one foot before the other, slowly and purposefully. His big eyes never moved from my face. Well, that deer walked right up to me. Then he stopped and looked at me!
What happened next is hard to believe, but it’s true. And it all seemed quite natural. Just as when a friendly puppy comes near you, I reached up and scratched his head, right between the horns. And he liked to be scratched. That big, wild, beautiful deer bent his head like a young horse. In fact, he practically asked for more. I scratched his head and his nose poked at my shoulder. He didn’t even tremble. Well, he finally went his way, down the hill and up the deer trail. Shoot him? Not me. You wouldn’t have either, not after that. I just watched him go.
There’s very little more to tell. I picked up my thermos, and started walking back. I was about halfway back when I heard two shots, followed by a dull slam a few seconds later. Those two shoots usually mean a kill. I had forgotten there were other hunters that day.
Those hunters would never know they could have scratched his head…
1.Why did the author mention his craze for hunting?
A.To present & cause. B.To make a contrast.
C.To illustrate an idea. D.To express a phenomenon.
2.Why did the author change his mind and let the deer go?
A.The deer fooled the author into doing that. B.The author was not prepared.
C.The deer was stupid. D.Their interaction softened the author.
3.What can we learn from the text?
A.The author is an inexperienced hunter.
B.The deer was alert (警觉的) to human beings.
C.The deer was probably killed.
D.The author was happy that the deer ran away.
4.Which of the following might be the best title for the text?
A.Why Did I Quit Hunting? B.No Buying, No Killing!
C.An Encounter with a Deer. D.Man and Nature.
(2024·浙江宁波·一模)I was invited to be an instructor at a high-school leadership camp in Michigan. About an hour into the first day, obvious discomfort and shyness of a boy caught my eye. I could sense that this whole experience was foreign to him. He needed a friend. I walked towards him, made my first interaction but failed.
At lunch the next day, as the campers eagerly participated in the camp song, my gaze wandered over noise and was caught by the boy under the tree, sitting alone and staring out of the window. I tried again, with the same questions as before. He again replied, “Yeah, I’m all right. I just don’t really get into this stuff.” As I left the cafeteria, I realized this was going to take more time and effort - if it was even possible to get through to him at all.
Days flew with me spending more time with him and finally came the camp night when I saw what would be one of the most vivid memories of my life. The boy, once confined to the shadows of the tree, was a dancing wonder. I watched as he shared the meaningful time with people at whom he couldn’t even look just days earlier. I couldn’t believe it was the same person.
A few months after the camp, I received an unexpected call from the boy, who informed me of his ongoing immigration to a foreign country. A long pause followed and then he said, “I went back to school with confidence. I made new friends. My grades went up. The past few months were the best of my life.”
In that instant, I realized how easy it is to give a bit of yourself every day. You may never know how much each gesture may mean to someone else. I tell this story as often as I can, and when I do, I urge others to look out for their own “boy under the tree”.
1.How did the boy feel at the beginning of the leadership camp?
A.Anxious and bored. B.Uneasy and lonely.

3.The boy called the author mainly to .

4.What message does the story convey?
A.Camps help students shape their character
B.Every student has the opportunity to shine.
C.Sincere care makes a difference to students’ growth.
D.Reserved students face more challenges in their lives.
(2024·浙江杭州·一模)In 1959, Handler changed how toy dolls were made when she introduced “Barbie” to the world. With her mature figure, Barbie was one of the first “grown-up” dolls to hit the retail market.
Handler wanted to create a toy that was different from the baby dolls that dominated little girls’ toy boxes. She wanted a doll that girls could project their future dreams upon and allowed for limitless clothing and career choices. Inspired by paper dolls of the time, Handler, to much disagreement, made sure Barbie had the body of a grown woman.
“My own philosophy of Barbie,” Handler wrote in her autobiography, “was that through the doll, the little girl could be anything she wanted to be. Barbie always represented the fact that a woman had choices.”
There’s even a Barbie for cancer patients — Brave Barbie — a partnership between Mattel and CureSearch that sends a bald (光头的) Barbie to families affected by cancer. “Gifting my daughter a Barbie who suffered from cancer was tremendous,” Michelle, a cancer survivor said, “We would play with that Barbie together and I’d heartbreakingly watch her pretend to take the doll to the hospital for chemo (化疗), or place its long wig on top of its head and tell the doll ‘It’s time to be beautiful again.’”
Bald Barbie was super brave and went on awesome adventures after chemo. Sometimes she felt sick and needed to sleep, but would feel much better after a rest. Bald Barbie always beat the cancer and went on to live a long and happy life with her family. That Barbie became so much more than a plastic doll — she was a means of communication and a coping mechanism during an extremely distressing time for little families.
1.Why did Handler create Barbie?
A.To make a hit in the retail market. B.To appeal to girls with her diverse outfits.
C.To do a project on women’s career choices. D.To inspire girls to make choices as they wish.
2.How might Michelle feel when watching her daughter with Brave Barbie?
A.Sad yet comforted. B.Envious yet proud.
C.Overwhelmed and ashamed. D.Heartbroken and regretful.
3.What does Brave Barbie mean to Michelle’s family?
A.A reliable emotional support. B.A glue for broken relationships.
C.An effective practical treatment. D.A secret medium of negotiation.
4.Where is the text probably taken from?
A.A medical journal. B.A charity brochure.
C.A financial report. D.A story collection.
(24-25高三上·浙江·开学考试)Gladys West, the mathematician, was born in 1930 in Virginia and had to help harvest crops on her family’s farm. The hard work started before daybreak and lasted well into the blistering heat of the afternoon. To get out of there, she was going to get an education.
Her parents tried to save some money to send her to college, but unexpected bills kept hitting the fund. Then a teacher announced that the state was going to give a college scholarship to the two top students from her year. Finally, West got the scholarship, allowing her to attend Virginia State College, a historically black university.
West decided to major in mathematics because it was a well-respected subject. It was largely studied by men, but she didn’t take much notice of them as she knew deep in her heart that nothing was getting in her way. After graduating, she became a teacher. A few years later, she returned to the university and earned a master’s degree in mathematics. Then she was offered a job at a naval base in Dahlgren, Virginia. This made her only the second black woman to be hired to work as a programmer at the base.
Despite her intellectual abilities and career success, West felt she was inferior. It was this feeling, deeply rooted and felt, by many African Americans that drove her to work as hard as she could. West determined to commit herself to her work, hoping that by doing it to the best of her ability, she could get recognition for her work.
West did just that. In 1979, she became project manager for the Seasat project, the first satellite that could monitor the oceans. She programmed an IBM 7030 Stretch computer, providing faster calculations for an accurate Earthmodel. This detailed mathematical model of the shape of the Earth was a building block for what would become the GPS orbit. In 1998, aged 68, she intended to focus on her PhD after retirement. She eventually finished her graduation thesis and gained her PhD in public administration and policy affairs in 2000 at the age of 70.
1.What helps Gladys West to go to the university?
A.Her teacher’s aiding her.
B.Her parents’ paying for the expenses.
C.Her family background.
D.The scholarship from the government.
2.What can we infer from the text?
A.West got all her degrees after retirement.
B.Men dominated maths field in West’s days.
C.Black women scientists ' talent was fully appreciated.
D.When she began to work, West felt she was superior to others.
3.What does the underlined phrase “a building block” in paragraph 5 mean?

【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章通过一个妈妈Soogia分享的故事,讲述了她的孩子在学校分享午餐的经历,以及这一小事如何治愈了她内心的创伤,并引发了对新一代孩子开放和包容特质的思考。
1.推理判断题。根据第一段中“As Elizabeth Stone once said, ‘Having children is like having your heart go walking around outside of your body.’ You send them off to school and hope that the world treats them kindly because when they hurt, you hurt. Surely it’s inevitable that your child will experience hurt feelings at some point. So, it’s wise to be ready for those moments.(正如伊丽莎白·斯通曾经说过,“有了孩子就像你的心在体外行走。”你把他们送去学校,希望世界善待他们,因为当他们受伤时,你也会受伤。当然,你的孩子迟早会经历一些伤心的时刻。所以,为这些时刻做好准备是明智的)”可推知,文章开头引用Elizabeth Stone的话是为了强调父母对孩子持续的关心,即孩子受伤时父母也会感到伤心。故选B项。
2.细节理解题。根据第三段中“The classmate’s mother informed her that her son loved the food Soogia’s daughter brought to school and wanted to learn how to cook it too.(同学的妈妈告诉她,她的儿子很喜欢Soogia的女儿带到学校的食物,也想学做这道菜)”可知,同学的妈妈打电话给Soogia是为了询问她儿子喜欢的午餐食谱。故选A项。
3.细节理解题。根据第四段中“Growing up as a Korean kid in California, Soogia had different experiences from her children.(作为一个在加州长大的韩国孩子,Soogia的经历与她的孩子们不同)”及第五段中““I guess I just never thought that my kids would be the generation of kids that could go to school and not just proudly eat, but share their food with other kids that were just so open and accepting to it,” Soogia said through tears.(“我想我从来没有想过我的孩子们会成为这一代的孩子,他们上学时不仅骄傲地吃饭,而且还和其他孩子分享他们的食物,他们是如此开放和接受,”Soogia流着泪说)”和“They don’t sit there eating their food alone, feeling ashamed and wishing that their fried rice was a bagel instead or something like that.(他们不会独自坐在那里吃东西,感到羞愧,希望他们的炒饭是百吉饼或类似的东西)”可知,妈妈Soogia因为自己的韩国文化背景,曾经没有自信,而且时常为自己的饭菜感到羞愧,而女儿与之截然不同的行为,这让她倍感治愈。故选C项。
4.推理判断题。根据第五段中“I guess I just never thought that my kids would be the generation of kids that could go to school and not just proudly eat, but share their food with other kids that were just so open and accepting to it(我想我从来没有想过我的孩子们会成为这样的一代孩子,他们在上学的时候不仅自豪地吃东西,而且还和其他孩子分享他们的食物,他们是如此开放和欣然接受)”、最后一段中“‘These Gen Alpha babies really are a different, kinder generation.

(24-25高三上·浙江·开学考试)Growing up as a kid in the UK, I was fascinated by insects. 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.Minor things in life can carry weight.
C.Childhood experiences sculpt a career.
D.Hard work contributes to great achievements.

(24-25高三上·浙江·阶段练习)In medical school and throughout his career as a neonatologist, William Cashore was often asked to read and correct others’ work. Little did they know that he was a spelling champion, with a trophy(奖品) at home to prove it. Cashore won the Scripps National Spelling Bee in 1954 at age 14. Now 84, he’s the oldest living champi on of the contest, which dates back to 1925. As contestants from this year’s competition headed home, he reflected on his experience and the effect it had on him.
Cashore credits his parents for helping him prepare for his trip to Washington, D.C. , for the spelling bee. His mother was an elementary school teacher and his father was a lab technician with a talent for taking words apart and putting them back together.
When the field narrowed to two competitors, the other boy misspelled “uncinate”, which means bent like a hook. Cashore spelled it correctly, then clinched the title with the word “transept”, an architectural term for the transverse part of a cross- shaped church.
Cashore, who was given $500 and an encyclopedia set, enjoyed a brief turn as a celebrity. He didn’t br ag about his accomplishment after returning to Pennsylvania, but the experience quietly shaped him in multiple ways. “It gave me much more self-confidence and also gave me a sense that it’s very important to try to get things as correct as possible,” he said. “I’ve always been that way, and I still feel that way. If people are careless about spelling and writing, you wonder if they’ re careless about their thinking.”
“Preparing for a spelling bee today requires more concentration and technique than it did decades ago,” Cashore said. “The vocabulary of the words are far, far more technical. The English language, in the meantime, has imported a great many words from foreign languages which were not part of the English language when I was in eighth grade,” he added.
1.What can we learn about Cashore from the first two paragraphs?
A.He is the best ever spelling champion. B.He prepared alone for the spelling bee.
C.He used his spelling ability to help others. D.He preferred to show off his spelling talent.
2.What does the word “clinched” underlined in paragraph 3 refer to?
A.Won. B.Declined. C.Removed. D.Gave.
3.How did the spelling bee competition affect Cashore?
A.It helped him start his career. B.It strengthened his confidence.
C.It limited his way of thinking. D.It brought him lasting popularity.
4.What should we do to prepare for today’s spelling bee according to Cashore?
A.Learn multiple languages. B.Go abroad for language study.
C.Be a remarkable technician. D.Try to improve relevant skills.

(24-25高三上·浙江·阶段练习)Chin was partially paralysed in 2018 after a stroke. 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.”

(2024·浙江嘉兴·模拟预测)Sweat slips down my cheek as I glide (滑动) my fingers through the cool water. I’ve reached the turnaround point of the day’s kayaking (皮划艇) trip. I attempt a shoulder stretch and look around. It’s just me, a couple of seabirds, and shining freshwater to the horizon. This, I whisper to myself, is awesome.
Solo (独自的) outings had never crossed my mind before because I always had a friend with me. But three years ago, I moved to Cleveland. Meeting friends in a new city was tough.
In October 2020, I decided to take adventure on a solo hiking trip. I went to Cuyahoga Valley National Park (CVNP) to admire the autumn leaves. Four miles in, I couldn’t remember the last time I’d felt so alive. I was more aware of my surroundings than I’d ever been while hiking that day. I studied the markings of trees, focused my ears on each forest sound and did something I almost never made time for: I listened to my own thoughts. Every word bubble in my mind pointed to a newfound truth-solo hiking is my happy place.
When spring arrived, I decided to check off another solo sport: kayaking. My chest, initially tightened by nerves, was bursting with happiness when I finally reached the middle of the river that I’d long admired back on shore.
Since that first solo hiking, adventuring alone has become like medicine for me. It has also pushed me to go beyond my comfort zone and to meet new people. Through meetups and social media, my adventure-friend circle has ballooned. But at least once per month, I schedule time to hit nature with my favorite friend: me.

(2024·浙江温州·一模)Five-year-old Mustafa is smiling for the first time in ages. She did not receive a new toy or her favorite candy; rather, she got a wig (假发).
Mustafa had to go through painful procedures after being diagnosed with cancer at an early age. Her father expressed her sadness when she lost her hair after months of chemotherapy (化疗). “She saw children of her age jumping in playgrounds and spending hours styling their hair, while she couldn’t. Losing her hair made her hopeless, negatively impacting her response to treatment,” the girl’s father said.
Coming from a less fortunate family, Mustafa now sits in a humble hairdresser’s in Cairo, sliding her fingers through her new long hair as she looks in the mirror with fresh enthusiasm. Behind that smile and renewed confidence is Salam, from Egypt, who has been personally funding and designing free wigs for children with cancer to give them power to defeat their illness.
Salam took up his mission when he saw a viral video on social media of a young cancer patient who was excited at receiving a new wig. It was the moment when he decided to provide free wigs to children with cancer to lift up their spirits. “Many families can barely afford expensive cancer treatment costs, let alone costly cosmetic services that can play a huge role in restoring children’s confidence and giving them strength to continue their treatment,” said Salam.
As part of the self-funded initiative, Salam purchases the necessary requirements to make a wig, while his father helps design hairstyles to serve different children. So far, Salam has helped over 15 children walk out of his shop empowered with big smiles.
Despite the several challenges, Salam said making wigs gives him as much happiness as it does for his young customers. “Children need the emotional and moral support to go through this tough illness.” He added, “Losing their hair drives them to withdraw into themselves out of fear and embarrassment. I cannot help in their treatment, but I can help them get through it.”
1.Why are a toy and candy mentioned in paragraph 1?
A.To indicate the girl’s age. B.To imply a serious illness.
C.To show the shortage of toys and candies. D.To highlight the value of the wig.
2.What can be learned from the father’s words?
A.Hairstyle matters much. B.Sports benefit Mustafa.
C.Hair loss depressed Mustafa. D.Mustafa’s treatment failed.
3.What led to Salam’s decision on the mission?
A.His sympathy. B.Family support.
C.Government fund. D.Mustafa’s enthusiasm.
4.What kind of person is Salam according to the passage?
A.Cautious and innovative. B.Inspiring and talented.
C.Sensitive and empathetic. D.Ambitious and sensible.
【答案】1.D 2.C 3.A 4.C
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了一位来自埃及的叫萨拉姆的人,在得知一位患病儿童得到假发后,开始筹资为癌症患儿设计和提供免费假发,帮助他们重获信心和力量。对于这些患儿来说,他能做的或许不多,但带给他们情感和道德上的支持,帮助他们度过这个艰难的病痛时期。
1.细节理解题。根据第一段中“Five-year-old Mustafa is smiling for the first time in ages. She did not receive a new toy or her favorite candy; rather, she got a wig (假发).(五岁的穆斯塔法这么多年来第一次露出了笑容。她没有收到新玩具或她最喜欢的糖果;相反,她得到了一顶假发。)”以及第二段中“Mustafa had to go through painful procedures after being diagnosed with cancer at an early age. Her father expressed her sadness when she lost her hair after months of chemotherapy (化疗). (穆斯塔法在很小的时候就被诊断出患有癌症,不得不经历痛苦的手术。数月化疗后,她的头发掉光了,她父亲表达了她的悲伤。)”可知,穆斯塔法因为被诊断患有癌症,经过数月的化疗后头发掉光了,因此相比于收到新玩具或者最喜欢的糖果,收到一顶假发对她来说是更有意义的。故第一段提到了玩具和糖果是为了突出假发的价值。故选D。
2.推理判断题。根据第二段中““She saw children of her age jumping in playgrounds and spending hours styling their hair, while she couldn’t. Losing her hair made her hopeless, negatively impacting her response to treatment,” the girl’s father said.(她看到和她同龄的孩子在操场上蹦蹦跳跳,花上几个小时做发型,而她却不能。失去头发让她绝望,对她的治疗产生了负面影响,”女孩的父亲说。)”可知,看到别的孩子在操场上蹦蹦跳跳,花上几个小时做发型,而穆斯塔法却不能,失去头发让她绝望,对她的治疗产生了负面影响即失去头发让她极度沮丧。故选C。
3.细节理解题。根据第四段中“Salam took up his mission when he saw a viral video on social media of a young cancer patient who was excited at receiving a new wig. It was the moment when he decided to provide free wigs to children with cancer to lift up their spirits.(萨拉姆在社交媒体上看到了一段走红的视频,视频中一位年轻的癌症患者因获得新假发而兴奋不已,于是他开始了自己的使命。就在那一刻,他决定为患癌症的孩子们提供免费的假发,让他们振作起来。)”可知,萨拉姆在社交媒体上看到了一段视频:一位年轻的癌症患者因获得新假发而兴奋不已,就是在这一刻他决定为患癌症的孩子们提供免费的假发即他对那些因为癌症进行化疗而失去头发的孩子们的同情和理解,才让他开始为那些孩子们制作假发的使命。故选A。

I cannot help in their treatment, but I can help them get through it.”(“孩子们需要情感和精神上的支持来度过这场艰难的疾病。”他补充说:“脱发会让她们出于恐惧和尴尬而封闭自己。我不能帮助他们治疗,但我可以帮助他们度过难关。”)”可知,萨拉姆克服困难,在情感上和精神上去帮助和支持那些因为癌症化疗而掉发的孩子们,体现出他是善良并善解人意的。故选C。
(2024·浙江·模拟预测)Well, it isn’t a long story, but I wonder if you will really understand.
I used to be crazy about hunting. There’s a thrill in hunting, an excitement that comes over you when a deer crashes out of the bush. After hunting, you also feel great to show off with the boys.
It was like that the last time I was in the woods. I went up into the hills alone, heading for a well-used deer trail. Sure enough there were fresh tracks in the snow. Then I saw him. A deer, a big beautiful deer! Surely I couldn’t miss! I waited for him to realize I was there and run away. But he fooled me completely. He came towards me! He was curious, I suppose, or maybe he was stupid—how else can you explain it?
He must have known about men and guns. But he came closer, putting one foot before the other, slowly and purposefully. His big eyes never moved from my face. Well, that deer walked right up to me. Then he stopped and looked at me!
What happened next is hard to believe, but it’s true. And it all seemed quite natural. Just as when a friendly puppy comes near you, I reached up and scratched his head, right between the horns. And he liked to be scratched. That big, wild, beautiful deer bent his head like a young horse. In fact, he practically asked for more. I scratched his head and his nose poked at my shoulder. He didn’t even tremble. Well, he finally went his way, down the hill and up the deer trail. Shoot him? Not me. You wouldn’t have either, not after that. I just watched him go.
There’s very little more to tell. I picked up my thermos, and started walking back. I was about halfway back when I heard two shots, followed by a dull slam a few seconds later. Those two shoots usually mean a kill. I had forgotten there were other hunters that day.
Those hunters would never know they could have scratched his head…
1.Why did the author mention his craze for hunting?
A.To present & cause. B.To make a contrast.

(2024·浙江宁波·一模)I was invited to be an instructor at a high-school leadership camp in Michigan. About an hour into the first day, obvious discomfort and shyness of a boy caught my eye. I could sense that this whole experience was foreign to him. He needed a friend. I walked towards him, made my first interaction but failed.
At lunch the next day, as the campers eagerly participated in the camp song, my gaze wandered over noise and was caught by the boy under the tree, sitting alone and staring out of the window. I tried again, with the same questions as before. He again replied, “Yeah, I’m all right. I just don’t really get into this stuff.” As I left the cafeteria, I realized this was going to take more time and effort - if it was even possible to get through to him at all.
Days flew with me spending more time with him and finally came the camp night when I saw what would be one of the most vivid memories of my life. The boy, once confined to the shadows of the tree, was a dancing wonder. I watched as he shared the meaningful time with people at whom he couldn’t even look just days earlier. I couldn’t believe it was the same person.
A few months after the camp, I received an unexpected call from the boy, who informed me of his ongoing immigration to a foreign country. A long pause followed and then he said, “I went back to school with confidence. I made new friends. My grades went up. The past few months were the best of my life.”
In that instant, I realized how easy it is to give a bit of yourself every day. You may never know how much each gesture may mean to someone else. I tell this story as often as I can, and when I do, I urge others to look out for their own “boy under the tree”.

(2024·浙江杭州·一模)In 1959, Handler changed how toy dolls were made when she introduced “Barbie” to the world. With her mature figure, Barbie was one of the first “grown-up” dolls to hit the retail market.
Handler wanted to create a toy that was different from the baby dolls that dominated little girls’ toy boxes. She wanted a doll that girls could project their future dreams upon and allowed for limitless clothing and career choices. Inspired by paper dolls of the time, Handler, to much disagreement, made sure Barbie had the body of a grown woman.
“My own philosophy of Barbie,” Handler wrote in her autobiography, “was that through the doll, the little girl could be anything she wanted to be. Barbie always represented the fact that a woman had choices.”
There’s even a Barbie for cancer patients — Brave Barbie — a partnership between Mattel and CureSearch that sends a bald (光头的) Barbie to families affected by cancer. “Gifting my daughter a Barbie who suffered from cancer was tremendous,” Michelle, a cancer survivor said, “We would play with that Barbie together and I’d heartbreakingly watch her pretend to take the doll to the hospital for chemo (化疗), or place its long wig on top of its head and tell the doll ‘It’s time to be beautiful again.’”
Bald Barbie was super brave and went on awesome adventures after chemo. Sometimes she felt sick and needed to sleep, but would feel much better after a rest. Bald Barbie always beat the cancer and went on to live a long and happy life with her family. That Barbie became so much more than a plastic doll — she was a means of communication and a coping mechanism during an extremely distressing time for little families.
1.Why did Handler create Barbie?
A.To make a hit in the retail market. B.To appeal to girls with her diverse outfits.
C.To do a project on women’s career choices. D.To inspire girls to make choices as they wish.
2.How might Michelle feel when watching her daughter with Brave Barbie?
A.Sad yet comforted. B.Envious yet proud.
C.Overwhelmed and ashamed. D.Heartbroken and regretful.
3.What does Brave Barbie mean to Michelle’s family?
A.A reliable emotional support. B.A glue for broken relationships.
C.An effective practical treatment. D.A secret medium of negotiation.
4.Where is the text probably taken from?
A.A medical journal. B.A charity brochure.
C.A financial report. D.A story collection.
【答案】1.D 2.A 3.A 4.D

(24-25高三上·浙江·开学考试)Gladys West, the mathematician, was born in 1930 in Virginia and had to help harvest crops on her family’s farm. The hard work started before daybreak and lasted well into the blistering heat of the afternoon. To get out of there, she was going to get an education.
Her parents tried to save some money to send her to college, but unexpected bills kept hitting the fund. Then a teacher announced that the state was going to give a college scholarship to the two top students from her year. Finally, West got the scholarship, allowing her to attend Virginia State College, a historically black university.
West decided to major in mathematics because it was a well-respected subject. It was largely studied by men, but she didn’t take much notice of them as she knew deep in her heart that nothing was getting in her way. After graduating, she became a teacher. A few years later, she returned to the university and earned a master’s degree in mathematics. Then she was offered a job at a naval base in Dahlgren, Virginia. This made her only the second black woman to be hired to work as a programmer at the base.
Despite her intellectual abilities and career success, West felt she was inferior. It was this feeling, deeply rooted and felt, by many African Americans that drove her to work as hard as she could. West determined to commit herself to her work, hoping that by doing it to the best of her ability, she could get recognition for her work.
West did just that. In 1979, she became project manager for the Seasat project, the first satellite that could monitor the oceans. She programmed an IBM 7030 Stretch computer, providing faster calculations for an accurate Earthmodel. This detailed mathematical model of the shape of the Earth was a building block for what would become the GPS orbit. In 1998, aged 68, she intended to focus on her PhD after retirement. She eventually finished her graduation thesis and gained her PhD in public administration and policy affairs in 2000 at the age of 70.
1.What helps Gladys West to go to the university?
A.Her teacher’s aiding her.
B.Her parents’ paying for the expenses.
C.Her family background.
D.The scholarship from the government.
2.What can we infer from the text?
A.West got all her degrees after retirement.
B.Men dominated maths field in West’s days.
C.Black women scientists ' talent was fully appreciated.
D.When she began to work, West felt she was superior to others.
3.What does the underlined phrase “a building block” in paragraph 5 mean?
A.A basic part. B.A detailed map.
C.A building material. D.A major obstacle.
4.What kind of person is Gladys West?
A.Helpful and serious.
B.Honest and hardworking.
C.Ambitious and committed.
D.Considerate and devoted.
【答案】1.D 2.B 3.A 4.C

1.细节理解题。根据第二段中“Finally, West got the scholarship, allowing her to attend Virginia State College, a historically black university.(最后,West获得了奖学金,使她得以进入弗吉尼亚州立大学,这是一所历史上的黑人大学。)”可知,是奖学金使得West能够进入大学。故选D项。
2.推理判断题。根据第三段中“It was largely studied by men, but she didn’t take much notice of them as she knew deep in her heart that nothing was getting in her way.(这主要是由男性研究的,但她并没有太在意他们,因为她内心深处知道,没有什么能阻挡她。)”可知,在West那个时代里,男人主宰着数学领域。故选B项。
3.词句猜测题。划线词句前文“She programmed an IBM 7030 Stretch computer, providing faster calculations for an accurate Earthmodel. (她编写了一台IBM 7030 Stretch计算机,为精确的地球模型提供了更快的计算。)”说明这个数学模型是GPS的基础,从而推知划线词句“(这个关于地球形状的详细数学模型是GPS轨道的a building block。)”其中划线短语应为“基石”的意思,与A项同义。故选A项。
4.推理判断题。根据第三段中“West decided to major in mathematics because it was a well-respected subject. It was largely studied by men, but she didn’t take much notice of them as she knew deep in her heart that nothing was getting in her way. After graduating, she became a teacher. A few years later, she returned to the university and earned a master’s degree in mathematics. (West决定主修数学,因为这是一门受人尊敬的学科。这主要是由男性研究的,但她并没有太注意他们,因为她内心深处知道,没有什么能阻挡她。毕业后,她成为了一名教师。几年后,她回到大学,获得了数学硕士学位。)”以及第二段中“In 1998, aged 68, she intended to focus on her PhD after retirement. She eventually finished her graduation thesis and gained her PhD in public administration and policy affairs in 2000 at the age of 70. (1998年,68岁的她打算在退休后专心攻读博士学位。她最终完成了毕业论文,并于2000年以70岁高龄获得了公共行政政策博士学位。)”可知,West是一位有雄心抱负的人。根据第四段中“West determined to commit herself to her work, hoping that by doing it to the best of her ability, she could get recognition for her work. (West决定全身心地投入到自己的工作中,希望通过尽自己最大的努力,让自己的工作得到认可。)”可知,她是一位尽心尽力的人。故选C项。
