· 《2025年新八省新高考英语满分通关练》 · 专题24【汇编】新八省期中阅读理解记叙文通关16篇 · （满分攻略+八省名校模拟）原卷版 · （山西、河南、陕西、内蒙古、四川、云南、宁夏、青海） ( 记叙 文 满分 作答解题 妙招 ) 一、题型解读 记叙文是以写人、记事、状物为主要内容，以记叙和描写为表达方式的文章。一篇记叙文，无论长短都应该是一个完全独立的事实，描写人物、地点、事件和过程，表达作者的某种情感。主要具有以下特点：内容上，记叙文应该包括六要素，即：时间、地点、人物、起因、经过和结果。可以按事件发生的时间顺序写，也可以按事件发生的先后写。命题上，主要集中在多个事件的先后顺序与人物的情感态度上。选材上，新颖、生动、真实、典型的素材描写，让读者有身临其境的感觉。形式上，顺叙、倒叙、插叙。语言上，一般过去时为主，各种时态为辅，合理使用丰富多彩的谓语动词时态是英语记叙文首要的语言特征；多用动词，尤其是动态强的行为动词是英语记叙文又一个明显的语言特征。 二、体裁结构 1.记叙文的开头通常交代事件的背景，即事件发生的时间、地点、有关人物等内容。 2.记叙文的展开（中间）通常以人物活动的时间顺序、空间位置变换、事件发生的顺序或人物的主次性格特征为行文线索。 3.记叙文的结尾通常是依照事件的发生、发展和结局这样一个自然的顺序来结尾。 三、写作意图 1.讲述故事 ( tell / narrate / relate a story) 2.分享经验  (share an experience) 3.纪念人物 (remember a person) 4.阐明道理 (communicate an idea / convey a message) 四、解题策略 1.关注细节  记叙文中有大量的事件发展过程中的细节，包括记叙文的5W（what, who, when, where, why）要素。因此我们作答细节题的时候，就没有那么复杂，一般只需要由前到后，从上到下，一题一题地做就可以了。  2.注重联系  在做题过程中，我们大都不能在文中找到与题干一字不差的词语或句子。这时我们需要认真研究问题，抓住题干中的关键词语，然后到文中准确地找到与之相关的语句，或是疑似语句的位置，接着去左顾，或右盼，在前句或后句寻找线索。  3.读懂表象 主旨大意题或推理判断、作者意图题等实际上是同一类型的问题，或者说是可用同种方法解答的题型。在解答此类题目的时候，不可被题干的表象所迷惑，要像剥洋葱一样，一层一层地剥；在四个可选项中，一个一个地去证实，去排除。特别是解答推论或暗指类的题目，比如“What can be inferred from …?”或是What does the author imply in…?”之类的题目，文中所陈述的往往不是答案。我们要在文前文后去查找，在字里行间里去寻觅。有时还少不了借助自己的生活经验和常理来体会这言外之意。  4.挖掘意义  每年的高考阅读题中，特别是记叙文的阅读题，都会出现一至两道词义猜测题。而这些词汇往往是你素昧平生的，或者和你有点头之交，在文中却另有新意的，总之，猜的是那些在高考词汇表要求之外的词汇。小小的一个词，一个短语，考核的不是你的语法的熟练程度，也不是你的记忆力，而是你对文章通篇或者一个段落的整体把握和变通能力。 五、记叙文主旨概括题 1.首段法：首段主旨句；转折词后；破折号后 2.核心名词法：核心名词在文章中高频出现。可是“原词”或“同义词”不断曝光。 3.合并法：整合各段落大意，整合各段落首段信息 4.首位呼应法：整合首段和尾端信息 六、记叙文细节理解题 1.划出题干，选项关键词； 2.回忆文章结构，定位具体段落； 3.理解细节内容，最后找出答案； 4.正确选项的特征：原词复现/同义词、近义词替换；语言高度凝练概括。 七、实用答题妙招 1.阅读理解记叙文细节理解题居多，落实“题文同序”和“同义替换”。 2.数据计算题注重“原文定位”“细节理解”，弄清来龙去脉再计算。 3.文章寓意题要注意言外之意，尤其是首尾段做出合理推测判断。 4.人物性格描述题注意捕捉原文褒贬性词汇再进行同义替换和排除。 5.满分策略：读题干→找原文→做标记→留痕迹→看选项→扣字眼。 ( 新八省期中 名校 模拟试题 ) 【八省期中汇编·阅读·记叙文01】（24-25高三上·云南保山·期中）In her tiny home in the capital of Greece, Athens, 93-year-old Ioanna Matsouka has knitted (编织) thousands of brightly colored scarves for children in need from Greece to Ukraine. Her knitting needles clicked through her expert fingers, her nails painted red. “It brings me joy to share them,” she said. Since she took up knitting in the 1990s, Matsouka has easily made over 3,000 scarves, her daughters estimate. In the beginning, the scarves were gifted to friends. As the number of scarves grew, they were donated to children’s shelters across Greece. Then, through acquaintances, they reached children in Bosnia and Ukraine. The newly knitted scarves, numbering over 70, went to a refugee (难民) camp near Athens this winter, via the UN refugee agency UNHCR. “The fact that we give them away gives her strength,” said her daughter Angeliki. She related simple artwork and mail her mother received over the years: Thank you, be well, keep going. You gave joy to children, you gave joy to people. “That’s her only reward: a letter, a few words.” Angeliki says her mother is an example of strength and optimism. Now Matsouka knits one scarf a day. Waking up every morning, she drinks a glass of milk, puts on her pearl earrings and gets to work. She takes a break for lunch and a short sleep, and then painstakingly knits into the night. Her eyesight suffers and she sometimes has severe facial pain, a condition known as trigeminal neuralgia. However, she has no plans to quit just yet. “Until I die, I will be knitting,” Matsouka said. She may have even found the secret to a long life in it, she says. “It’s the happiness I get from giving,” she said, sitting beside a big blue bag filled with the knitting materials. 1.Who were Matsouka’s latest creations donated to?

Towering mountain titans, a cozy valley and an infinite blue sky promised fantastic potential for exploration. For me, no newly discovered sights or foreign landscapes can compare with its beauty. That is, until I was invited to explore Guizhou province by the China Storyteller Partnerships Tour. Had someone vividly described how beautiful Guizhou can be in poetic detail, they would not have done it exactly. There is no substitute for seeing with one’s own eyes. I will attempt to do so. During my trip around the city of Xingyi, in Guizhou, I saw the artwork of the Bouyei ethnic group. They use dyes produced from local plants to make clothing of striking blues and greens. Local elders still practice weaving with artful wooden machines and pass that tradition on to their grandchildren. My father used to drag my brothers and me on yearly fishing trips around Arizona. We would compete to catch the largest fish, and in the mornings, Dad would cook us a basic breakfast of bacon, eggs, and toast. I sat in a small boat in the middle of the lake, with fishing pole moving slowly in my impatient hands, and held my bored tongue while my father attempted to share with me the whispers of the wind, a fish dancing on the surface of the lake or the majesty of a hawk hunting for prey overhead. On my trip to Guizhou I had the opportunity to paddle on Wanfeng lake. At one point I rested, floating at the center of the lake, listening to the spaces between silence and taking in the surrounding karst (喀斯特) mountains. I thought about my childhood, and wished I had listened more closely to my father while fishing. I’ve lived away from Arizona for 10 long years, carving my own destiny in China. I’ve managed to build myself a family, a career, a livelihood, and various projects. I feel as though I have everything that I need. For a moment, in Guizhou, I felt home. 1.What do we know about the author’s hometown? A.Situated in the north of US, it is home to Grand Canyon. B.It has varied landscapes, ranging from plateau to valley. C.Apparently, there’s no comparison in terms of beauty. D.The author spent his childhood and adulthood in his hometown. 2.What does the underlined word “substitute” probably mean in paragraph 2? A.Experience. B.Replacement. C.Objection. D.Agreement. 3.What is the purpose of paragraph 4? A.To express his regret not listening to his father attentively. B.To recall the most unforgettable experience with his family. C.To compare the trip on Wangfeng lake with his former fishing trips. D.To suggest that his trip in Guizhou takes him back to his childhood. 4.What does the author think of his life in Guizhou? A.Inevitable. B.Favorable. C.Demanding. D.Astonishing. 【八省期中汇编·阅读·记叙文03】（24-25高三上·四川雅安·期中）Larry and I have always had our basic values in common, but our interests are as far apart as opera and basketball. I love art, and he is a huge sports fan. His big passion is seeing basketball games. He has been sharing season tickets with his friends for years. I must admit I’ve been always invited to see the games together. This morning, I called my brother, Larry, and said, “I have a piece of good news and ad piece of bad news. Which do you want to hear first?” “Good news first,” Larry answered. “You can go to sleep early tonight,” I said. “Okay. What’s the bad one?” he asked. “We’re going to the opera!” I answered, laughing loudly. There was a reason for the joke. The last time I invited him to go to the opera, he fell asleep in the theater. I had to admit it was always boring for him, but when I gave him a ticket for my favorite opera, I really thought he might enjoy it. I woke him up, but soon he fell asleep again. When Larry found I was joking, he breathed a sigh of relief on the other end. He said, “But I want you to go to see the last basketball game this autumn with me.” I promised and complained, “Not again!” Actually, most of the time, when the game was on, I’d be texting or daydreaming. Sometimes, my telephone messages would be interrupted when the home team scored. I knew they scored because everyone jumped up and exchanged high-fives and fist bumps. However, today, as I looked around at thousands of people cheering and getting increasingly excited, I was determined to at least give it a try — for my brother’s sake, if not for my own. The game was intense, and I was hooked soon. When the other team scored, I eventually felt a bit disappointed with the rest of my crowd. My brother was surprised to see me getting involved.

For fun, they unintentionally placed an insect under the lens (镜片). “It is amazingly beautiful!” they both screamed. The father had been making a career taking photographs for advertisements. But that experience gave him a new direction. Around the world, insect populations are in decline because of habitat loss and climate change. Biss thought that if people could see what he saw through his son’s microscope, they would care more about protecting insects. So Biss turned to macrophotography: taking close-up pictures of small things, like flowers or bugs. His work has attracted attention not just for its unusual beauty. It also raises awareness about the need for conservation. In 2016, Biss showed his first insect project, Microsculpture. The term refers to the features of an insect’s exoskeleton, or outer shell, which develops overtime as the bug adapts to its environment. Biss’s pictures capture the insects in all their microscopic details. Then he blows up the images until the insects become larger than life, some of them eight feet tall. But each image takes weeks to make. He uses a digital camera with a microscope lens. The camera is fixed on a computerized track, which allows Biss to take a shot, then move the camera by seven microns (微米)— a distance equals to about 1/10 the thickness of a human hair— for the next shot. In the end, Biss might take 10, 000 shots of a bug. A computer combines these small pictures into a single image. Biss’s latest exhibition is Extinct and Endangered at the American Museum of Natural History. He selected bugs that were extinct or endangered, hoping his photographs would serve as a better purpose. “I communicate visually,” he says, “The way I work is through pictures. But I think it’s my duty to shake things up and get people to pay attention. ” 1. What made Levon Biss turn to macrophotography? A. An expensive microscope. B. An accidental observation. C. Beautiful insects. D. Attractive environment. 2. How does Biss manage to capture insects’ microscopic details? A. By taking a shot at them twice. B. By adjusting the camera on a track. C. By putting them in order on a computer. D. By taking close-up pictures countless times. 3. What does the underlined phrase “shake things up” refer to in the last paragraph? A. Make people think about nature differently. B. Spare no efforts to face difficulties. C. Take action to save insects. D. Get rid of the prejudice. 4. Which of the following best describes Levon Biss? A. Wealthy and ambitious. B. Polite and strong-willed. C. Curious and easy-going. D. Patient and responsible. 【八省期中汇编·阅读·记叙文05】（24-25高三上·四川雅安·阶段练习）Even at 80, Mei Jingtian continues to patrol (巡逻) the Shixiaguan section of the Great Wall.

Max Rosenblum showed her how to socialize on Facebook and how to shop on Amazon with her new device. Max, 16, a rising junior in Florida, began offering his tech coaching for seniors at The Palace and at The Palms in Weston more than a year ago, after he helped his grandmother with her iPhone, iPad and Apple watch.

However, there were no cinemas in many villages at that time. Movies were displayed in the open air, mostly on a big yard in front of a temple. The minute the simple screen was set up, people gathered around, waiting for the film projectionist to turn on the two-hour magical journey of the motion pictures. Villages and towns across China established movie teams, each equipped with two or three projectionists. In 1984, Tang Dingde acquired his projectionist certificate and began his career as a film projectionist. Tang was appointed to screen films benefiting local villagers. As a projectionist, Tang was responsible for the operation and maintenance (维护) of projection  equipment. His primary role was to ensure that the audience experienced high-quality screenings. In addition to managing the projection equipment, he also checked and tackled technical issues that arose during screenings, such as film jams or equipment breakdowns. As transportation conditions were tough in townships and rural areas, Tang often took lots of time to get to remote villages to screen the films despite difficulties. Over the past four decades, Tang has organized tens of thousands of films for villagers. Tang’s son Xiaowei inherits the career as a film projectionist. As the film industry has transitioned to digital technology, Xiaowei and other projectionists now often work with computer-based systems, ensuring the proper setup and adjustment of digital projectors. It is much more convenient and easier for film projectionists to travel to the destinations and conduct their tasks nowadays.

But before starting, she shared a heartfelt message. Lauren is a hairdresser, and hair is a big part of her life.

He became the first Asian- American to win that show’s $1 million prize. Kwon was born in 1975 in New York in a South Korean immigrant family. He had a strong accent as a kid, so many people assumed he was a foreigner who could not speak English properly. Kwon grew increasingly quiet to avoid being teased or beaten up. “But the more quiet you are, the more you attract bullies.” he said. Therefore, he suffered a number of social anxiety disorders in childhood. Unfortunately, he did not see many role models from his community. He watched a lot of television as a way to learn English, and in the rare times when he did see Asian-Americans on screen, they were portrayed as negative stereotypes. Despite a difficult childhood, Kwon went on to earn a bachelor’s degree from Stanford University and a doctorate from Yale Law School. He worked in law, politics and business, then made what some would consider a surprising shift to television. Kwon never imagined that television was an option for someone like him, until one day, he received an email seeking Asian-American contestants. Initially, Kwon was not interested, but then he thought back to his hunger for positive role models as a child. He says that if he had seen them, it might have helped him build courage and confidence. Kwon surprised even himself by winning the show, a victory he attributes to fair play, where Asian-Americans, African-Americans and so on will share more equal opportunities. He says the win also brought him closer to his father, who initially discouraged Kwon from joining Survivor. “Yul, I’m sorry. I’ve always viewed you as this kind of kid who’s trying to figure out what he wants to do, but didn’t really have it together. And then I saw you on the show and I was really proud of you.” 1.

On a typical day, she would spend her walk time watching birds. On this day, however, she spotted something strange: a “big figure” perching on a rock on the island’s northwest side. A closer look revealed the unknown object to be a baby sea lion, which was a rare sighting on the rock, and rarer because the creature was so far out of the water. “This sea lion had dragged itself all the way up the rocks and wasn’t moving, which I knew was unusual,” D’Amico explained. The island is not a suitable place for mammals (哺乳类), since it’s exposed to severe conditions and lacks a permanent source of water. A small rock around 100 yards off the north side of the island, called “Little Alcatraz”, is used by 7 to 8 seals during low tide (潮水). But the island is ruled by birds. Upon returning a few hours later to check on the unexpected visitor, D’Amico found the sea lion unmoved, so she made a call to The Marine Mammal Center. Even with the help of fellow park workers, it took great effort to load the 40-pound baby into a box and then they transferred him to The Marine Mammal Center. Once safely ashore, the baby was picked up by the staff from The Marine Mammal Center, who transported him to their animal hospital in the Headlands. For the first month after his rescue, the little baby’s condition was “guarded”, and he was slow to recover. However, with treatment and feedings provided by the staff, he began to gain weight. After two months of treatment, a fat and healthy sea lion could walk slowly. The once ill-fed baby had been cleared to return to the wild. Recovered, he went into the waters of his new life with a new name: Alcatraz, the sea lion. 1. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “perching” in paragraph 2? A. Resting. B. Playing. C. Singing. D. Wandering. 2. What is the author’s purpose in writing the third paragraph? A. To list a related example. B. To summarize previous paragraphs. C. To introduce the main topic. D. To provide background information. 3. What did D’Amico do for the sea lion? A. She helped him go into the water. B. She took care of him in the Headlands. C. She called the Marine Mammal Center. D. She transferred him to the animal center. 4. Which of the following is the suitable title for the text? A. A Strange Island B. The Rescue of a Sea Lion C. Lidia D’Amico’s Adventure D. The Struggling Life of Mammals 【八省期中汇编·阅读·记叙文11】（24-25高三上·山西·阶段练习）Parents often think that their kids should be good at studies and do well in sports. That’s usually the case because parents feel that could get their children admission to top colleges. However, Melissa and Mark Wimmer think differently. Their 14-year-old son, Mike, is a prodigy. He is a member of Mensa, which is the world’s top IQ club. He completed his high school, associate’s and bachelor’s degrees all in three years. That’s not all. He also ran two tech companies, and founded a third one that works towards controlling the population of lionfish, an invasive (入侵的) species. But the parents are proud that they were able to help Mike with his social skills along with his intellectual skills. Melissa told CNBC that people expected “Young Sheldon” before they met her son. Young Sheldon is a television show about a child talent who is an indoor man and lacks social skills. “But once they talk to Mike, they understand that he’s just a normal 14-year-old that happens to be able to do amazing things,” said Melissa. Mark and Melissa got to know about their child’s intelligence when he entered preschool. A child psychologist told them that their son would need a different course to support his fast-track development. Many parents aren’t comfortable with putting their children with 18-year-olds, but Mike’s parents saw the value in letting their child go through it. “I wanted him to be social and be able to deal with all the different personalities in the classrooms with older children,” said Melissa. The parents shared that they were able to do this by letting Mike find his own voice and put it to use. “We let him order food when he’s 3 or 4 from the waiter or waitress and introduce himself to people. Those kinds of things are done to encourage him to engage with everyone else and be more comfortable talking to others outside of our environment,” said Melissa. Thanks to his parents, Mike has learned to get along with young and old alike. 1. What do the underlined words“a prodigy” in paragraph 2 refer to? A. A genius. B. A common student. C. A bachelor’s degree. D. A young businessman. 2. What do we know about the child in the show Young Sheldon? A. He has the same characteristics with Mike. B. He is a well-rounded boy. C. He is a popular child at school. D. He has trouble in socializing, 3. How did Mike’s parents get to know about their son’s remarkable talent? A. From school teachers’ comments. B. Through their son’s behavior. C. From a child psychologist’s advice. D. By letting him study with 18-year-olds. 4. What did Mike’s parents do to improve his social skills? A. They let him run two tech companies. B. They encouraged him to join in some clubs. C. They taught him some rules about interaction. D. They placed him in social situations at early ages. 【八省期中汇编·阅读·记叙文12】（24-25高三上·山西·阶段练习）For twelve years I’d worked at the hospital. One day they told me I was no longer needed. I understood that it was a cost-cutting move to replace me with someone with less experience and a lower salary. But my understanding didn’t excise the pain of feeling abandoned and useless. At sixty-two, what opportunities existed for someone at my age? “Dear Lord,” I prayed, “show me the way.” As he so often does, he answered through someone else, a fellow health educator at another hospital. When I shared my worries about my future, she told me about a conference she had attended recently. “I’ve just learned the most helpful tool,” she said. “No matter what the situation is, there is an opposite, a benefit. Our typical response is to focus on the losses of job, marriage, home, or even health. Instead, the speaker told us to concentrate on finding what we gained with our loss.” At first, I resisted her advice as I was extremely sad. I missed the meaningful challenges of organizing health education classes for the sick. But as time passed, I grew tired of my sorrow. Maybe I should try my friend’s advice and seek some opposites. Yet it wasn’t until our trip to Africa that I understood the power of opposite thinking. In 2023, we flew eight thousand miles to a village in West Africa. We brought many presents, believing that somehow we could improve the villagers’ lives. Instead, they taught us the opposite. Our lives were the ones that needed improving. Despite living in mud huts without modern conveniences, running water, or sanitation (卫生设备), the villagers appeared content. Frequently laughing and greeting each other, they truly cared for their neighbors. Although we slept on the ground, I felt a peace I hadn’t known since I left my job. I had expected we would spend our time helping the poor villagers. Instead, they were teaching us that having less meant less to worry about and more time and energy for each other. These wonderful people with a different faith taught me an important lesson that guided me through the darkness of life. 1. What can we learn about the author? A. She lacked work experience. B. She demanded higher salary. C. She didn’t perform well at work. D. She was dismissed by the hospital. 2. What does the underlined word “excise” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Remove. B. Deepen. C. Classify. D. Describe. 3. What did the fellow health educator suggest the author do? A. Reevaluate her situation and find solutions to the failure. B. Search for inner peace and cast off the economic darkness. C. Stay positive and concentrate on health care education. D. Shift her attitude to adversity and look on the bright side. 4. What lesson did the author learn from the villagers in Africa? A. Face up to the cruel realities of life. B. Fortune favors those who use their judgement. C. Owning more not necessarily adds to our happiness. D. Devoting to volunteering can gain a sense of achievement. 【八省期中汇编·阅读·记叙文13】（24-25高三上·山西忻州·阶段练习）This is my fourth mission to space, my second to the International Space Station (ISS), and I’ve been here for three weeks now. I’m getting better at knowing where I am when I first wake up. My bedroom is just big enough for me and my sleeping bag, two laptops, some clothes, photos of my wife and daughters, a few books. Getting dressed is a little bit difficult when I can’t “sit” or “stand”, but I’ve gotten used to it. The most challenging thing is putting on my socks. It’s not a challenge to figure out what to wear, since I wear the same thing every day. However, without gravity to help me bend over, it is very difficult to pull my legs up to my chest. At present, we have three Americans living at the station: Samantha, Terry and me. Samantha is one of the few women to have served as a fighter pilot in the Italian Air Force, and she is competent in everything technical. She is also friendly and quick to laugh. She is especially gifted for language. She has native-level fluency in English and Russian (the two official languages of the ISS) as well as French, German, and her native Italian. She is also working on learning Chinese. For some people who hope to fly in space, language can be a challenge. We all have to be able to speak a second language (I’ve been studying Russian for years), but the European and Japanese astronauts have the added burden of learning two languages if they don’t already speak English or Russian. Terry was a test pilot before joining NASA.He has all the positive qualities of a leader — optimism, enthusiasm, friendliness — and none of the negative ones. I’ve found him to be consistently competent, and I appreciate that as a leader he is a consensus builder rather than a bossy commander. Since I’ve been up here, he has always been respectful of my previous experience, always open to suggestions about how to do things better rather than getting defensive or competitive. 1. Why does the author find it challenging to put on his socks at the ISS? A. He has too many choices. B. It is uneasy to pull his legs up. C. The bedroom is too small. D. He can’t find a chair to sit on. 2. Samantha has left the deepest impression on the author probably because of her _______. A. good humor B. technical skills C. language talent D. loud laughing 3. What can be inferred from paragraph 4? A. Speaking English or Russian is a must for the ISS astronauts. B. All the ISS astronauts have to be able to speak three languages. C. European and Japanese astronauts are not good at communication. D. There are language workshops on the International Space Station. 4. Which of the following can best describe Terry? A. He is competitive and defensive. B. He is a perfect leader. C. He is the most experienced man at the ISS. D. He is just a little bit bossy. 【八省期中汇编·阅读·记叙文14】（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. What started as a simple act of kindness soon blossomed into a daily routine of walks that lasted for three weeks. As fate would have it, two weeks before Sandra’s passing, a dean friend of hers approached Lisa with a heartfelt proposal. Aware of the bond formed between Gaia and Lisa, the friend asked if Lisa would consider becoming Gaia’s new caregiver. Without hesitation, Lisa accepted the responsibility, and Gaia officially moved into her new home. From that moment on, Gaia’s life underwent a transformative journey. Lisa quickly discovered that Gaia had a calm and peaceful presence, especially around children. Inspired by this realization, Lisa and Gaia started with a new adventure by enrolling in a pet therapy (治疗) programme. Their journey started at children’s hospitals, where Gaia’s gentle behaviour brought comfort and joy to young patients. Following their success, Lisa and Gaia expanded their reach to those in hospice (临终安养院) care. The two have become a lighthouse for individuals facing difficult circumstances, providing companionship, warmth, and healing through their therapeutic visits. 1.

I was going along fine with instant recall of my bank PIN, my mobile phone number and the date of my cousin’s birthday before I downloaded a gas station payment app for its new customer discount. It asked me to create a password. When I typed in “gas 1”, it was rejected for not being complex enough. I tried again: “IHateHearlessOilCompanies@”. But that was too long and didn’t include “at least one number”. But here is the thing: as soon as I added the fresh password into my memory, I instantly forgot all the others. My brain had hit its limit for passwords. I now know nothing. I had entered some passwords in a notebook. Of course, I didn’t write down the actual passwords, in case it fell into the wrong hands. Instead, I masked them in a way that only a family member could figure them out. For example, I combined my bank PIN with our postal code, then added it to a list of phone numbers. It would fool even Albert Einstein. Maybe we need a system like the one we use to remember people’s names. You know, you form an association between a person’s characteristics and their name by whispering “Skinny George. Skinny George” in heart after meeting them. The risk is that, upon seeing him, you’ll burst out the phrase. “Skinny George” might not mind, but it’s possible “Boring Betty” will. As for remembering passwords as you change them, you could simply use the first and last letters of your favorite singer’s greatest hits, together with the year of their release. Maybe I’ll try that one out, but only after describing the system in the notebook. Then I’ll hide it in a place so secret that I’ll never remember where it is. 1. What can we learn about the author from the first two paragraphs? A. He fell for a marketing trick. B. He was driven mad by passwords. C. He had a serious memory disorder. D. He was rejected by the gas station. 2. By mentioning Albert Einstein in paragraph 3, what does the author mean to do? A. To advertise a more scientific password system. B. To fool the intelligent scientist in his way. C. To prove the uselessness of his passwords. D. To show how safe his passwords were. 3. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To encourage readers to use password notebooks. B. To recommend a password-remembering method. C. To complain about the trouble caused by passwords. D. To highlight the importance of using complex passwords. 4. How does the author sound in this passage? A. Humorous. B. Indifferent. C. Serious. D. Absurd. 【八省期中汇编·阅读·记叙文16】（24-25高三上·陕西西安·阶段练习）Maybe no one forgets their first bicycle and there is no exception to a woman like me. Mine was a Schwinn coaster bike, second-hand, painted a distinctive red and yellow by its previous owner. I remember riding too fast down the big hill on Springfield Avenue. I knew at once that the world was mine to explore. A couple of years later, when I was 11, my grandmother visited from England, bringing me a bike. It was a shiny dark green, with three gears (齿轮) and hand brakes. As the owner of the first English bicycle my neighbors had ever seen, I was, for a time, almost a star. Unlike my coaster bike, it was light and responsive — riding it felt like flying. I rode it past big stone houses with their huge yards and trees. I rode past brick row houses. I rode alone and with groups of friends. That beloved bike went with me to college, carrying me to the library and to classes. Beyond transport, it was often a prop (道具): pushing it along as I walked the college paths made me feel less self-conscious. Somehow, conversation flowed more easily on either side of a bike. After college, I lived abroad for a time. Returning from London, I discovered to my horror that my parents had sold my bike. They didn’t even know who had bought it. For years after that, I didn’t have a bicycle that was specifically mine. Teaching in a New England prep school, I simply rode whatever bikes its graduates had left behind. I rode around the little town on bikes which slipped in and out of gear, with brakes that often failed. I did not take any of those bikes with me when I moved south to the coastal town where I now live. But after a while I missed riding. Finally, on a fall day, I bought a bicycle. Called a comfort bike, it has wider tires than my old bike and seven gears. But it is green — a brighter green bike. Still, I was a bit apprehensive. I was out of practice and a lot older. I brought the bike home and put on my helmet — I’d never worn a helm et before. Then I got on the bike. After a tentative, slightly shaky start, I fell exactly as I was on that long- ago day on Springfield Avenue: free. Soon I was riding along. It seemed that everyone I passed smiled and waved or called out, “Great day for a bike ride!” And I knew they all remembered their first bike and how it had set them free. I wanted to call back to them, “I still can!” 1. According to the article, the author’s beloved bike _______. A. was a red and yellow coaster bike B. made her the envy of all her friends C. was her birthday gift from her grandmother D. made her shy and awkward at times at college 2. While pushing the English bike along, the author _______. A. felt bored B. felt special C. became talkative D. became lost in thought 3. When she was teaching at a prep school, the author _______. A. didn’t like her once- beloved bike B. got out of the habit of riding bikes C. wasn’t picky about the bikes he rode D. rode bikes that had been recommended to her by graduates 4. What was the author’s main purpose in writing this article? A. To describe the different bikes she has been riding alone. B. To recall the joy and freedom she has enjoyed thanks to riding. C. To inform us of the fun and benefits of riding bikes with others. D. To tell us about how she grew up through her riding experiences. 【八省期中汇编·阅读·记叙文17】（24-25高三上·陕西西安·阶段练习）Anxiety has followed me around like a lost dog looking for a bone for years now. I feel it the most strongly when I’m worried about my health or my daughter’s health. I feel an unusual sensation and all of a sudden: panic! My worries are not limited to health concerns though, and they go in the direction of anxiety about the future of the world, worries about my finances, and fears that I’m not good enough. Let me go back a few decades, back to when anxiety wasn’t part of my life. When I was a child, I loved art. I drew and I colored because that’s what I enjoyed. I went to college to become an art teacher. When I finished school in May of 2001, I had a part-time design job, and after the event of September 11th, 2001, I knew I needed to travel, to get out of the safe life I was living in my hometown. That’s when my creative practices fell by the wayside. Luckily, after the birth of my daughter in 2014, the desire to create came back. At first, I was using a tiny corner of a bedroom in our rental house to paint. Eventually we bought a house, and I had the space to spread out, ready to paint whenever the urge struck. That’s when I started noticing something important: Painting stilled me in a way that nothing else did. It eased my fears and anxieties in a way other practices (deep breathing, etc) did not, at least not as consistently. When anxious thoughts start, I know what to do. I head into my studio, grab some materials, and start creating. Soon enough, the worries are gone and instead my mind is quiet. I think the reason why painting is so helpful for my anxiety is that, in order for me to be anxious, I have to be worrying about the future and what it holds. When I’m doing an activity that requires my full concentration, I have to be in the moment. It doesn’t matter if you’re artistic. The only thing that matters is finding a way to be here, in the now, instead of in the unknowable future. 1. Which of the following best describes the author in paragraph 1? A. Cautious. B. Impatient. C. Carefree. D. Insecure. 2. Why did the author give up on art temporarily? A. Because her daughter was born. B. Because she couldn’t make a living. C. Because some big event happened. D. Because she was busy with her study. 3. How does painting ease the author’s fears and anxieties? A. Painting makes her stay in a place. B. Colors of painting calm her down. C. Painting makes less room for worries. D. Painting is a very creative activity. 4. What does the story mainly tell us? A. What is important is to seize the moment. B. Anxiety may be beneficial to life at times. C. It is necessary to learn some art in childhood. D. Painting is the best way to ease people’s mind. 【八省期中汇编·阅读·记叙文18】（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. 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. B. Conventional and careless. C. Ambitious and kind-hearted. D. Lazy and pessimistic. 【八省期中汇编·阅读·记叙文19】（24-25高三上·青海西宁·期中考试）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. The Southeast Asian Games is held every two years and athletes from the 11 nations in the region compete against each other in 581 events. Its closing ceremony is set for Wednesday. 1.

Competitive. C. Determined. D. Promising. 【八省期中汇编·阅读·记叙文20】（24-25高三上·宁夏吴忠·阶段练习）Every Tuesday, my children prepare themselves in a unique manner. They gather their gardening tools, put on old clothes that can get dirty, and sometimes even bring a small notebook and pen. Then, I drive them to a community garden where they spend the whole day at a gardening club. When I initially enrolled them in this program, I was excited about the concept but had some concerns as a parent. Would they enjoy getting their hands dirty all day? Would they be able to focus for such a long time? But when I asked them if they ever felt bored, they looked at me strangely. They clearly didn’t understand my worry, which made me realize my concerns might be unfounded. In this club, kids have the freedom to choose what they want to grow, whether it’s colorful flowers or delicious vegetables. They aren’t told that their choices are wrong but are encouraged to experiment. Something my children love about the gardening club is that they aren’t rushed to finish one task and move on to the next. Instead, they can take their time and explore as much as their interest leads them. "Don’t they miss out on regular school activities?" worried parents have questioned me. Both of their teachers don’t see it as an issue, and more importantly, my kids are acquiring new skills that a traditional classroom can’t offer. They are learning to notice the small changes in plants and understand the growth cycle — a lesson that’s hard to teach in a classroom. They are making friends with people of different ages. They work together, sharing their ideas and efforts to make the garden beautiful. I’m grateful that the gardening club is influencing my children’s connection with nature. They are learning how to care for plants, how to be patient, and gaining knowledge that will make them appreciate nature more in the future. 1. What do the children take when going to the gardening club? A. Gardening books. B. Old clothes. C. Gardening hats. D. Watering cans. 2. The underlined word “unfounded” in the passage probably means _______. A. without a basis B. very serious C. easy to understand D. difficult to solve 3. We can infer from the passage that ______. A. The author was against the gardening club at first. B. The children have learned a lot from the gardening club. C. The gardening club is not popular among parents. D.

Her knitting needles clicked through her expert fingers, her nails painted red. “It brings me joy to share them,” she said. Since she took up knitting in the 1990s, Matsouka has easily made over 3,000 scarves, her daughters estimate. In the beginning, the scarves were gifted to friends. As the number of scarves grew, they were donated to children’s shelters across Greece. Then, through acquaintances, they reached children in Bosnia and Ukraine. The newly knitted scarves, numbering over 70, went to a refugee (难民) camp near Athens this winter, via the UN refugee agency UNHCR. “The fact that we give them away gives her strength,” said her daughter Angeliki. She related simple artwork and mail her mother received over the years: Thank you, be well, keep going. You gave joy to children, you gave joy to people. “That’s her only reward: a letter, a few words.” Angeliki says her mother is an example of strength and optimism. Now Matsouka knits one scarf a day. Waking up every morning, she drinks a glass of milk, puts on her pearl earrings and gets to work. She takes a break for lunch and a short sleep, and then painstakingly knits into the night. Her eyesight suffers and she sometimes has severe facial pain, a condition known as trigeminal neuralgia. However, she has no plans to quit just yet. “Until I die, I will be knitting,” Matsouka said. She may have even found the secret to a long life in it, she says. “It’s the happiness I get from giving,” she said, sitting beside a big blue bag filled with the knitting materials. 1.Who were Matsouka’s latest creations donated to? A.Her friends and relatives. B.The children in a refugee camp near Athens. C.The kids in Bosnia and Ukraine. D.The people in shelters across Greece. 2.What is Angeliki’s attitude towards what her mother is doing? A.Tolerant. B.Disapproving. C.Favorable. D.Indifferent. 3.What do we know about Matsouka from paragraph 4? A.She is used to rising early. B.She is disciplined and humble. C.She is organized and strong-willed. D.She is unconcerned about her appearance. 4.Which statement will Matsouka probably agree with? A.One is never too old to learn. B.Actions speak louder than words. C.One cannot be in two places at once. D.The more you give, the happier you will be. 【答案】1.B 2.C 3.C 4.D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了93岁的希腊老奶奶伊奥安娜•马苏卡的故事，她编织了数千条色彩鲜艳的围巾，捐赠给了希腊、波斯尼亚和乌克兰等地需要帮助的儿童。 1.细节理解题。根据第二段“The newly knitted scarves, numbering over 70, went to a refugee (难民) camp near Athens this winter, via the UN refugee agency UNHCR. (今年冬天，新编织的70多条围巾通过联合国难民署（UNHCR）送到了雅典附近的一个难民营。)”可知，她最近编织的围巾捐赠给了雅典附近一个难民营的儿童。故选B。 2.推理判断题。根据第三段“The fact that we give them away gives her strength,’ said her daughter Angeliki. (她的女儿Angeliki说：“我们把它们送出去的事实给了她力量。”)”和第四段“Angeliki says her mother is an example of strength and optimism. (安吉利基说，她的母亲是坚强和乐观的典范。)”可知，安格利卡对母亲所做的事情是非常赞成的。故选C。 3.推理判断题。根据文章第五段 “Now Matsouka knits one scarf a day. Waking up every morning, she drinks a glass of milk, puts on her pearl earrings and gets to work. She takes a break for lunch and a short sleep, and then painstakingly knits into the night. (现在Matsouka每天织一条围巾。每天早上醒来，她喝一杯牛奶，戴上珍珠耳环，然后去工作。她休息了一下，吃了午饭，睡了一会儿，然后辛辛苦苦地编织到晚上。)” 可知，马苏卡每天工作目标明确，生活安排井然有序，虽然视力渐弱、面部疼痛，仍坚持每天织一条围巾，从不言弃。这说明她是一个很有条理的、意志坚强的人。故选C。 4.推理判断题。根据最后一段 “She may have even found the secret to a long life in it, she says. “It’s the happiness I get from giving,” she said, sitting beside a big blue bag filled with the knitting materials. (她说，她甚至可能在里面找到了长寿的秘诀。“这是我从给予中得到的快乐，”她说，坐在一个装满编织材料的蓝色大包旁边。)”可知，马苏卡认为长寿的秘诀就是从施与中得到快乐。也就是说，施与越多，快乐越多。故选D。 【八省期中汇编·阅读·记叙文02】（24-25高三上·四川成都·期中）Having grown up in northern Arizona with the immortal Grand Canyon and the iron red plateaus of Sedona in my backyard, I believed that the southwestern state is home to the most beautiful landscapes on the planet. Towering mountain titans, a cozy valley and an infinite blue sky promised fantastic potential for exploration. For me, no newly discovered sights or foreign landscapes can compare with its beauty. That is, until I was invited to explore Guizhou province by the China Storyteller Partnerships Tour. Had someone vividly described how beautiful Guizhou can be in poetic detail, they would not have done it exactly. There is no substitute for seeing with one’s own eyes. I will attempt to do so. During my trip around the city of Xingyi, in Guizhou, I saw the artwork of the Bouyei ethnic group. They use dyes produced from local plants to make clothing of striking blues and greens. Local elders still practice weaving with artful wooden machines and pass that tradition on to their grandchildren. My father used to drag my brothers and me on yearly fishing trips around Arizona. We would compete to catch the largest fish, and in the mornings, Dad would cook us a basic breakfast of bacon, eggs, and toast. I sat in a small boat in the middle of the lake, with fishing pole moving slowly in my impatient hands, and held my bored tongue while my father attempted to share with me the whispers of the wind, a fish dancing on the surface of the lake or the majesty of a hawk hunting for prey overhead. On my trip to Guizhou I had the opportunity to paddle on Wanfeng lake. At one point I rested, floating at the center of the lake, listening to the spaces between silence and taking in the surrounding karst (喀斯特) mountains. I thought about my childhood, and wished I had listened more closely to my father while fishing. I’ve lived away from Arizona for 10 long years, carving my own destiny in China. I’ve managed to build myself a family, a career, a livelihood, and various projects. I feel as though I have everything that I need. For a moment, in Guizhou, I felt home. 1.What do we know about the author’s hometown? A.Situated in the north of US, it is home to Grand Canyon. B.It has varied landscapes, ranging from plateau to valley. C.Apparently, there’s no comparison in terms of beauty. D.The author spent his childhood and adulthood in his hometown. 2.What does the underlined word “substitute” probably mean in paragraph 2? A.Experience. B.Replacement. C.Objection. D.Agreement. 3.What is the purpose of paragraph 4? A.To express his regret not listening to his father attentively. B.To recall the most unforgettable experience with his family. C.To compare the trip on Wangfeng lake with his former fishing trips. D.To suggest that his trip in Guizhou takes him back to his childhood. 4.What does the author think of his life in Guizhou? A.Inevitable. B.Favorable. C.Demanding. D.Astonishing. 【答案】1.B 2.B 3.D 4.B 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。 文章讲述一个美国人对中国山水和人文的依恋。 2.细节理解题。根据第一段的“Having grown up in northern Arizona with the immortal Grand Canyon and the iron red plateaus of Sedona in my backyard, I believed that the southwestern state is home to the most beautiful landscapes on the planet. (我在亚利桑那州北部长大，在我的后院有不朽的大峡谷和铁红色的塞多纳高原，我相信这个西南部的州是地球上最美丽的风景的家园。)”可知，作者的家乡拥有从高原到山谷的各种景观。故选B。 3.词句猜测题。根据前文“That is, until I was invited to explore Guizhou province by the China Storyteller Partnerships Tour. Had someone vividly described how beautiful Guizhou can be in poetic detail, they would not have done it exactly. ( 直到“中国故事共创会活动”带我走进贵州，贵州之行让我仿佛回到故乡。贵州的美曾在诗句中有所体现。)”可知，作者在去贵州之前知道贵州的美曾在诗句中体现，直到他去了贵州，才体会到去了贵州就如同回到了自己美丽的家乡，因此推断划线句句意：没有亲身体会是无法感知到的，也就是说没有什么可替代。划线词与B项“代替”意思相近。故选B。 4.推理判断题。第四段第一句“My father used to drag my brothers and me on yearly fishing trips around Arizona. ( 我父亲过去每年都会拉着我和兄弟们去亚利桑那州钓鱼。)”提到了作者的父亲带作者去钓鱼，接下来描述了当时与父亲在一起钓鱼的经历和作者贵州之行的经历，结合最后一句“I thought about my childhood, and wished I had listened more closely to my father while fishing. (我想起了我的童年，真希望我在钓鱼的时候能更仔细地听父亲的话。)”可推断，本段的目的是表明贵州之行让作者回忆起自己的童年时光。故选D。 4.推理判断题。根据最后一段的“I’ve lived away from Arizona for 10 long years, carving my own destiny in China. I’ve managed to build myself a family, a career, a livelihood, and various projects. I feel as though I have everything that I need. For a moment, in Guizhou, I felt home. (离开亚利桑那州10 年之久，我来到中国重塑新生，建立了自己的家庭和事业，参与过各种活动，似乎已经拥有了我所需要的一切。徜徉在贵州的那一刻，我仿佛回到故乡，重温往日美好。)”可推断，对于在贵州的生活，作者是称赞的。故选B。 【八省期中汇编·阅读·记叙文03】（24-25高三上·四川雅安·期中）Larry and I have always had our basic values in common, but our interests are as far apart as opera and basketball. I love art, and he is a huge sports fan. His big passion is seeing basketball games. He has been sharing season tickets with his friends for years. I must admit I’ve been always invited to see the games together. This morning, I called my brother, Larry, and said, “I have a piece of good news and ad piece of bad news. Which do you want to hear first?” “Good news first,” Larry answered. “You can go to sleep early tonight,” I said. “Okay. What’s the bad one?” he asked. “We’re going to the opera!” I answered, laughing loudly. There was a reason for the joke. The last time I invited him to go to the opera, he fell asleep in the theater. I had to admit it was always boring for him, but when I gave him a ticket for my favorite opera, I really thought he might enjoy it. I woke him up, but soon he fell asleep again. When Larry found I was joking, he breathed a sigh of relief on the other end. He said, “But I want you to go to see the last basketball game this autumn with me.” I promised and complained, “Not again!” Actually, most of the time, when the game was on, I’d be texting or daydreaming. Sometimes, my telephone messages would be interrupted when the home team scored. I knew they scored because everyone jumped up and exchanged high-fives and fist bumps. However, today, as I looked around at thousands of people cheering and getting increasingly excited, I was determined to at least give it a try — for my brother’s sake, if not for my own. The game was intense, and I was hooked soon. When the other team scored, I eventually felt a bit disappointed with the rest of my crowd. My brother was surprised to see me getting involved. I was astonished myself! I didn’t keep glancing at the clock, counting the minutes until we got out, Time flew. The game was over before I knew it. 2.How does the author develop paragraph 2? A.By listing data. B.By giving an example. C.By making comparisons. D.By quoting a conversation. 3.What was the author’s initial reaction to basketball games? A.Puzzled. B.Pleased C.Casual. D.Curious. 4.What does the underlined word “hooked” in the last paragraph mean? A.Addicted. B.Satisfied, C.Bored. D.Disappointed. 5.What can be the best title for the text? A.Art and Sport B.From Opera to Basketball C.Cheering for the Home Team D.Developing a Passion for Opera 【答案】1.D 2.C 3.A 4.B 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲的是作者从一开始的喜欢歌剧，对哥哥喜欢的篮球不感兴趣，到后来决定试一试认真观看比赛，居然被篮球比赛给吸引住了，对此产生了浓厚的兴趣的故事。 2.推理判断题。根据第二段“This morning, I called my brother, Larry, and said, “I have a piece of good news and ad piece of bad news. Which do you want to hear first?” “Good news first,” Larry answered. “You can go to sleep early tonight,” I said. “Okay. What’s the bad one?” he asked. “We’re going to the opera!” I answered, laughing loudly.”（今天早上，我打电话给我哥哥拉里，说：“我有一个好消息和一个坏消息。你想先听哪个？“先说好消息，”拉里回答。“今晚你可以早点睡觉，”我说。“好吧。哪个是坏的？他问。“我们要去看歌剧！”我大声笑着回答。）可推知，作者是通过引用对话来展开第二段的。故选D项。 3.推理判断题。根据第三段中“Actually, most of the time, when the game was on, I’d be texting or daydreaming.”（事实上，大多数时候，当比赛开始时，我都在发短信或做白日梦。）可推知，作者对篮球比赛的最初反应是满不在乎的。故选C项。 4.词义猜测题。根据最后一段中“However, today, as I looked around at thousands of people cheering and getting increasingly excited, I was determined to at least give it a try—for my brother’s sake, if not for my own.”（然而，今天，当我看到周围成千上万的人在欢呼，越来越兴奋时，我决定至少试一试——如果不是为了我自己，也是为了我哥哥。）以及“My brother was surprised to see me getting involved. I was astonished myself!”（我哥哥看到我参与进来很惊讶。我自己也惊呆了！）由此可知，此处为游戏很激烈，我很快就被迷住了。故可猜测划线单词hooked为“迷住”的意思，结合选项Addicted“沉迷的”意思一致。故选A项。 5.主旨大意题。根据文章大意以及第一段中“Larry and I have always had our basic values in common, but our interests are as far apart as opera and basketball.  I love art, and he is a huge sports fan.”（拉里和我一直有共同的基本价值观，但我们的兴趣就像歌剧和篮球一样相去甚远。我热爱艺术，而他是一个狂热的体育迷。）可知，提到作者喜欢歌剧。和最后一段中“However, today, as I looked around at thousands of people cheering and getting increasingly excited, I was determined to at least give it a try—for my brother’s sake, if not for my own. The game was intense, and I was hooked soon. When the other team scored, I eventually felt a bit disappointed with the rest of my crowd. My brother was surprised to see me getting involved. I was astonished myself!”（然而，今天，当我看到周围成千上万的人在欢呼，越来越兴奋时，我决定至少试一试——如果不是为了我自己，也是为了我哥哥。游戏很激烈，我很快就被迷住了。当另一支球队得分时，我终于对我的其他观众感到有点失望。我哥哥看到我参与进来很惊讶。我自己也惊呆了！）可知，讲的是作者被篮球比赛吸引住了。由此可知，文章主要讲的是作者从一开始的喜欢歌剧，对哥哥喜欢的篮球不感兴趣，到后来决定试一试认真观看比赛，居然被篮球比赛给吸引住了，对此产生了浓厚的兴趣的故事。故文章最好的标题是“从歌剧到篮球”。故选B项。 【八省期中汇编·阅读·记叙文04】（24-25高三上·四川成都·期中）Levon Biss was looking at insects from his garden through a microscope he bought for his son. For fun, they unintentionally placed an insect under the lens (镜片). “It is amazingly beautiful!” they both screamed. The father had been making a career taking photographs for advertisements. But that experience gave him a new direction. Around the world, insect populations are in decline because of habitat loss and climate change. Biss thought that if people could see what he saw through his son’s microscope, they would care more about protecting insects. So Biss turned to macrophotography: taking close-up pictures of small things, like flowers or bugs. His work has attracted attention not just for its unusual beauty. It also raises awareness about the need for conservation. In 2016, Biss showed his first insect project, Microsculpture. The term refers to the features of an insect’s exoskeleton, or outer shell, which develops overtime as the bug adapts to its environment. Biss’s pictures capture the insects in all their microscopic details. Then he blows up the images until the insects become larger than life, some of them eight feet tall. But each image takes weeks to make. He uses a digital camera with a microscope lens. The camera is fixed on a computerized track, which allows Biss to take a shot, then move the camera by seven microns (微米)— a distance equals to about 1/10 the thickness of a human hair— for the next shot. In the end, Biss might take 10, 000 shots of a bug. A computer combines these small pictures into a single image. Biss’s latest exhibition is Extinct and Endangered at the American Museum of Natural History. He selected bugs that were extinct or endangered, hoping his photographs would serve as a better purpose. “I communicate visually,” he says, “The way I work is through pictures. But I think it’s my duty to shake things up and get people to pay attention. ” 1.What made Levon Biss turn to macrophotography? A.An expensive microscope. B.An accidental observation. C.Beautiful insects. D.Attractive environment. 2.How does Biss manage to capture insects’ microscopic details? A.By taking a shot at them twice. B.By adjusting the camera on a track. C.By putting them in order on a computer. D.By taking close-up pictures countless times. 3.What does the underlined phrase “shake things up” refer to in the last paragraph? A.Make people think about nature differently. B.Spare no efforts to face difficulties. C.Take action to save insects. D.Get rid of the prejudice. 4.Which of the following best describes Levon Biss? A.Wealthy and ambitious. B.Polite and strong-willed. C.Curious and easy-going. D.Patient and responsible. 【答案】1.B 2.D 3.A 4.D 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。本文讲述了一名广告摄影师为保护昆虫而改变了自己的职业的故事。 1.细节理解题。根据第一段“Levon Biss was looking at insects from his garden through a microscope he bought for his son. For fun, they unintentionally placed an insect under the lens (镜片). ‘It is amazingly beautiful!’ they both screamed. (Levon Biss正在用他给儿子买的显微镜观察花园里的昆虫。为了好玩，他们无意中在镜头下放了一只昆虫。‘太美了！’他们都尖叫着。)”可知，Levon Biss给儿子买了一台显微镜，二人在花园里用它来观察昆虫。为了好玩，他和儿子无意间把一只昆虫放在显微镜下面，结果意外地发现了它的美丽。根据第二段中的“ But that experience gave him a new direction. (但这段经历给了他一个新的方向。)” 可知，是这次意外的发现使 Levon Biss后来改变了自己的职业方向。故选B项。 2.细节理解题。根据第五段“He uses a digital camera with a microscope lens. The camera is fixed on a computerized track, which allows Biss to take a shot, then move the camera by seven microns (微米)— a distance equals to about 1/10 the thickness of a human hair— for the next shot. In the end, Biss might take 10, 000 shots of a bug. A computer combines these small pictures into a single image. (他用带显微镜镜头的数码相机。相机固定在一个计算机轨道上，这使得比斯可以拍摄一张照片，然后将相机移动7微米——大约相当于人类头发厚度的1/10——进行下一次拍摄。最后，比斯可能会对一只虫子进行10000次射击。计算机将这些小图片组合成一幅图像。)”可知，Biss使用带有显微镜镜片的数码摄像机对昆虫进行多次拍摄，最后再用电脑将这些小图像组成一张图像。故选D项。 3.词句猜测题。根据画线部分前面的“duty”，后面的“and get people to pay attention”，第二段最后一句中的“Biss thought that if people could see what he saw through his son’s microscope, they would care more about protecting insects. (Biss认为，如果人们能通过他儿子的显微镜看到他所看到的，他们就会更关心保护昆虫。)”以及第三段中的 “It also raises awareness about the need for conservation. (它还提高了人们对保护必要性的认识。)” 可知，Biss希望他的作品能够改变人们目前对待自然的态度，引起他们对昆虫的保护意识。所以，画线部分的意思是“改变现状(即人们对于自然的漠视)”。故选A项。 4.推理判断题。根据全文对摄影师 Biss的描写，特别是第五段中的“But each image takes weeks to make. He uses a digital camera with a microscope lens. The camera is fixed on a computerized track, which allows Biss to take a shot, then move the camera by seven microns (微米)— a distance equals to about 1/10 the thickness of a human hair— for the next shot. In the end, Biss might take 10, 000 shots of a bug. A computer combines these small pictures into a single image.(但每张照片都需要几周的时间。他用带显微镜镜头的数码相机。相机固定在一个计算机轨道上，这使得比斯可以拍摄一张照片，然后将相机移动7微米——大约相当于人类头发厚度的1/10——进行下一次拍摄。最后，比斯可能会对一只虫子进行10000次射击。计算机将这些小图片组合成一幅图像。)” 可知，Biss在对昆虫进行拍摄时花费了很长时间和很多功夫，由此推知他是有耐心的；又根据最后一段末句 “But I think it’s my duty to shake things up and get people to pay attention.(但我认为我有责任改变现状，引起人们的注意。) ” 可知， Biss觉得通过他的作品唤起人们对昆虫的保护意识是自己的职责，由此推知，他是有责任感的。故选D项。 【八省期中汇编·阅读·记叙文05】（24-25高三上·四川雅安·阶段练习）Even at 80, Mei Jingtian continues to patrol (巡逻) the Shixiaguan section of the Great Wall. With over four decades of experience, he skillfully hits the ground along the way with a wooden stick, alerting wild animals to his presence to ensure his safety. Mei lives in Shixia, a village near the Shixiaguan section of the Great Wall in the suburban Yanqing district of Beijing, the oldest part of which dates back to the Northern Qi Dynasty (550-577). In 1979, when Mei returned to Shixia after working outside for years, he was stunned by the destruction to the ancient wall. “Some residents even took bricks from it to build their houses,” Mei says. To help protect the wonder, Mei volunteered as a guardian, patrolling 20 kilometers each day to stop people from taking bricks, scribbling on the wall or dropping litter. In 1984, a Great Wall protection campaign was launched in Beijing and was quickly picked up by villagers in Shixia. Realizing the significance of heritage protection, more and more of them returned the bricks they had taken and joined Mei on patrol. In 2006, and then head of the village, Mei helped set up a local volunteer protection association, and about 80 of the village residents joined as guardians. The Shixiaguan section of the Great Wall has not yet been opened to the public. “It is my biggest wish to see heritage well-preserved and available to visit, encouraging more people to join us in protecting the Great Wall,” Mei says. 1.Why does Mei Jingtian use a wooden stick along the way? A.To leave his mark. B.To signal his location. C.To scare away wild animals. D.To test the firmness of the ground. 2.What does the underlined word “stunned” mean in paragraph 3? A.Interested. B.Surprised. C.Relieved. D.Pleased. 3.Why does Mei Jingtian wish the Shixiaguan section would be open to the public? A.He wants to show local traditions. B.He hopes to develop village tourism.

Max Rosenblum showed her how to socialize on Facebook and how to shop on Amazon with her new device. Max, 16, a rising junior in Florida, began offering his tech coaching for seniors at The Palace and at The Palms in Weston more than a year ago, after he helped his grandmother with her iPhone, iPad and Apple watch. That experience inspired him and his parents. They reached out to a connection at The Palace at Coral Gables and launched a website: techmaxed. com. His students are residents of The Palace at Coral Gables, octogenarians(八旬老人) fascinated by technology and eager to learn about this brave new frontier. Though a class might appear to be more convenient, Max found out that group sessions simply didn’t work. “People are at different levels,” he said. “It is much better to give them individual help.” All his students, regardless of age or skill, are motivated by the power of technology to connect. They want to stay in touch—and see— children and great-grandchildren who live elsewhere. They come with their notepads, laptops and smartphones in hopes of learning how to text, Skype, FaceTime, Facebook and email. The best part of giving up a weekend day? Watching the pleasure someone gets when he or she sees a faraway relative on the screen. “One woman hadn’t seen her sister in years and she learned to Skype,” he recalled. Max admits that teaching older adults the complicated details of something has made him a more responsible and patient person, but he figures he’s also paying it forward. “Maybe when I’m 87 and there’s new technology,” he said, “somebody will teach me. too.” 1.What happened to Sarah when she received the iPad from her daughter? A.She had no interest in opening it. B.She had no idea how to use it. C.She felt quite disappointed with it. D.She showed it to Max Rosenblum. 2.What inspired Max to begin teaching seniors to use smart devices? A.The reward for helping the senior residents. B.The need to practice using new technology. C.The desire to help those who were in need. D.The experience of teaching his grandmother. 3.Why didn’t Max teach all his students as a class? A.Because the senior students were unwilling to be taught as a class. B.Because he had no such experience to teach many people at the same time. C.Because it was better to give distinctive help owing to their different levels. D.Because there was not a suitable place for them to attend class as a whole. 4.How did Max find his act of teaching older adults? A.It was unsatisfactory. B.It was effortless. C.It was rewarding. D.It was demanding. 【答案】1.B 2.D 3.C 4.C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章围绕Max Rosenblum教老年人使用智能设备展开，详细叙述了事情的起因、经过和结果。呼吁社会关注老年人在科技学习方面的需求，鼓励更多人参与到帮助老年人适应数字时代的行动中来。 1.细节理解题。根据第一段中“When Sarah Wishnia received an iPad from her daughter, she didn’t even know how to open the thing. (当Sarah Wishnia从她女儿那里收到一台iPad时，她甚至不知道如何打开这个东西。)”可知，Sarah收到女儿的iPad时不知道怎么打开它，也就是不知道如何使用，故选B项。 2.细节理解题。根据第二段中“Max, 16, a rising junior in Florida, began offering his tech coaching for seniors at The Palace and at The Palms in Weston more than a year ago, after he helped his grandmother with her iPhone, iPad and Apple watch. (16 岁的马克斯是佛罗里达州一名即将升入高三的学生。一年多前，在他帮助祖母使用iPhone、iPad和Apple Watch之后，他开始在韦斯顿的皇宫酒店和棕榈酒店为老年人提供科技指导。)”及第三段中“That experience inspired him and his parents. (那次经历激励了他和他的父母。)”可知，帮助祖母使用智能设备的经历激励了Max，故选D项。 3.细节理解题。根据第四段中“ ‘People are at different levels,’ he said. ‘It is much better to give them individual help.’ (“人们处于不同的水平，”他说。“给予他们个别帮助要好得多。”)”可知，因为人们的水平不同，所以最好给予个别帮助，故选C项。 4.推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“Watching the pleasure someone gets when he or she sees a faraway relative on the screen. (看着某人在屏幕上看到远方的亲戚时所获得的快乐。)”及“Max admits that teaching older adults the complicated details of something has made him a more responsible and patient person, but he figures he’s also paying it forward. (Max承认，教老年人某事的复杂细节使他成为一个更负责任和更有耐心的人，但他认为他也在付出代价。)”可知，Max觉得教老年人使用智能设备让他变得更有责任感和耐心，并且看到老年人通过他的教导与远方亲人联系上的快乐，这是有回报的，故选C项。 【八省期中汇编·阅读·记叙文07】（24-25高三上·河南安阳·阶段练习）To watch movies was one of the most popular forms of entertainment in rural areas in China in the 1970s and 1980s. However, there were no cinemas in many villages at that time. Movies were displayed in the open air, mostly on a big yard in front of a temple. The minute the simple screen was set up, people gathered around, waiting for the film projectionist to turn on the two-hour magical journey of the motion pictures. Villages and towns across China established movie teams, each equipped with two or three projectionists. In 1984, Tang Dingde acquired his projectionist certificate and began his career as a film projectionist. Tang was appointed to screen films benefiting local villagers. As a projectionist, Tang was responsible for the operation and maintenance (维护) of projection  equipment. His primary role was to ensure that the audience experienced high-quality screenings. In addition to managing the projection equipment, he also checked and tackled technical issues that arose during screenings, such as film jams or equipment breakdowns. As transportation conditions were tough in townships and rural areas, Tang often took lots of time to get to remote villages to screen the films despite difficulties. Over the past four decades, Tang has organized tens of thousands of films for villagers. Tang’s son Xiaowei inherits the career as a film projectionist. As the film industry has transitioned to digital technology, Xiaowei and other projectionists now often work with computer-based systems, ensuring the proper setup and adjustment of digital projectors. It is much more convenient and easier for film projectionists to travel to the destinations and conduct their tasks nowadays. However, Xiaowei’s thought to deliver a perfect and enjoyable experience for audiences is still challenging. Attention to detail, technical proficiency, and the ability to work efficiently under pressure are crucial qualities for projectionists. 1.What function does the first paragraph serve? A.It explains scene setting. B.It sets the tone of the text. C.It provides supporting details. D.It offers background information. 2.Which word can best describe Tang’s work as a projectionist? A.Innovative. B.Productive. C.Demanding. D.Competitive. 3.What additional quality should a projectionist have in modern days? A.Determination to serve. B.Concentration on details. C.Skills at digital technology. D.Adaptability to the new surroundings. 4.Which column of a magazine may the text be taken from? A.Good Old Days. B.All Walks of Life. C.New Technology New Life. D.Internet Facilitates Entertainment. 【答案】1.D 2.C 3.C 4.B 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要通过两代乡下电影放映员讲述了中国电影放映员的职业变迁及其重要性。 1.推理判断题。根据文章第一段“To watch movies was one of the most popular forms of entertainment in rural areas in China in the 1970s and 1980s. However, there were no cinemas in many villages at that time. Movies were displayed in the open air, mostly on a big yard in front of a temple. The minute the simple screen was set up, people gathered around, waiting for the film projectionist to turn on the two-hour magical journey of the motion pictures.(在20世纪70年代和80年代，看电影是中国农村地区最受欢迎的娱乐形式之一。然而，当时许多村庄都没有电影院。电影是在户外放映的，主要是在寺庙前的一个大院子里。一旦简单的银幕搭好，人们就围了上来，等着放映员打开电影，开始这场两个小时的神奇之旅)”可知，本段介绍了20世纪70年代和80年代中国农村地区的娱乐方式以及电影放映的地点，为后文讲述电影放映员的职业变迁提供了背景信息，所以第一段的作用是提供背景信息。故选D。 2.推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Tang was appointed to screen films benefiting local villagers. As a projectionist, Tang was responsible for the operation and maintenance of projection equipment. His primary role was to ensure that the audience experienced high-quality screenings. In addition to managing the projection equipment, he also checked and tackled technical issues that arose during screenings, such as film jams or equipment breakdowns. As transportation conditions were tough in townships and rural areas, Tang often took lots of time to get to remote villages to screen the films despite difficulties. Over the past four decades, Tang has organized tens of thousands of films for villagers.(唐被指派放映有利于当地村民的电影。作为一名放映员，唐负责放映设备的操作和维护。他的主要职责是确保观众能观看到高质量的放映。除了管理放映设备外，他还检查和解决放映过程中出现的技术问题，如胶片堵塞或设备故障。由于乡镇和农村地区的交通条件恶劣，唐经常要花很多时间才能到达偏远的村庄去放映电影，尽管困难重重。在过去的40年里，唐为村民们组织了数万部电影)”可知，放映员唐的工作要求很高，不仅要操作和维护设备，还要解决放映过程中出现的各种技术问题，而且要在交通条件恶劣的情况下前往偏远村庄放映电影，因此最能描述唐作为放映员的工作的词是“要求高的”。故选C。 3.细节理解题。根据文章第三段“As the film industry has transitioned to digital technology, Xiaowei and other projectionists now often work with computer-based systems, ensuring the proper setup and adjustment of digital projectors.(随着电影行业向数字技术的过渡，小伟和其他放映员现在经常使用基于计算机的系统，确保数字投影机的正确设置和调整)”可知，现代放映员除了具备传统的放映技能外，还需要掌握数字技术的技能，以应对电影行业的数字化转型，所以现代放映员还应该具备数字技术的技能。故选C。 4.推理判断题。这篇文章主要讲述了中国电影放映员的职业变迁，从传统的胶片放映到现代的数字放映，以及放映员需要具备的技能和品质，这些内容更偏向于描述不同职业的工作特点和要求，所以这篇文章可能摘自杂志的“各行各业”一栏。故选B。 【八省期中汇编·阅读·记叙文08】（24-25高三上·河南驻马店·阶段练习）Cancer is a tough disease. When someone hears they have cancer, words of support often feel empty. In such times, actions can show support more powerfully than words. After Lauren’s husband was diagnosed with cancer, she decided to shave his head. But before starting, she shared a heartfelt message. Lauren is a hairdresser, and hair is a big part of her life. Under her post, she wrote, “Hair is my art, my passion, and my way of making others feel beautiful, confident, and seen. It’s a reflection of who we are, how we feel, and how we present ourselves to the world. But today, I’m choosing to let go of it all, not because hair doesn’t matter, but because some things matter so much more.” Before shaving her husband’s head, Lauren did something surprising. She turned the clippers on herself. Her husband was shocked and said, “No. No, no, no.” As she continued, his expression changed. He realized that his wife was ready to stand by him through this tough journey. She made a second and a third shave, cutting off large sections of her long hair. At one point, her husband asked, “Why?” Eventually, Lauren sat in the chair, and her husband helped to finish shaving her head. When she was done, she looked like a fuzzy cue ball. Then, her husband sat down, and she shaved his head. They hugged many times during this moment of solidarity. Lauren’s final words were powerful. She said, “This act isn’t just about hair. It’s about standing with him in his fight, showing him that we are in this together, every step of the way.” She also reflected on the importance of hair, saying, “Yes, hair is important, and it will always be a part of who I am, but at this moment, it’s just hair. What truly matters is the bond we share, the fight we fight, and the love that carries us through.” 1.What did Lauren decide to do after her husband was diagnosed with cancer? A.Cut her own hair.

It’s about standing with him in his fight, showing him that we are in this together, every step of the way.(这个行为不仅仅是关于头发。这是关于和他一起战斗，告诉他我们在一起，每一步都在一起)”可知，Lauren认为剃光她的头发是团结和支持的象征，故选D。 【八省期中汇编·阅读·记叙文09】（24-25高三上·云南昆明·阶段练习）Yul Kwon first earned his game-changer status when the Yale University- trained lawyer competed on the CBS show Survivor in 2006. He became the first Asian- American to win that show’s $1 million prize. Kwon was born in 1975 in New York in a South Korean immigrant family. He had a strong accent as a kid, so many people assumed he was a foreigner who could not speak English properly. Kwon grew increasingly quiet to avoid being teased or beaten up. “But the more quiet you are, the more you attract bullies.” he said. Therefore, he suffered a number of social anxiety disorders in childhood. Unfortunately, he did not see many role models from his community. He watched a lot of television as a way to learn English, and in the rare times when he did see Asian-Americans on screen, they were portrayed as negative stereotypes. Despite a difficult childhood, Kwon went on to earn a bachelor’s degree from Stanford University and a doctorate from Yale Law School. He worked in law, politics and business, then made what some would consider a surprising shift to television. Kwon never imagined that television was an option for someone like him, until one day, he received an email seeking Asian-American contestants. Initially, Kwon was not interested, but then he thought back to his hunger for positive role models as a child. He says that if he had seen them, it might have helped him build courage and confidence. Kwon surprised even himself by winning the show, a victory he attributes to fair play, where Asian-Americans, African-Americans and so on will share more equal opportunities. He says the win also brought him closer to his father, who initially discouraged Kwon from joining Survivor. “Yul, I’m sorry. I’ve always viewed you as this kind of kid who’s trying to figure out what he wants to do, but didn’t really have it together. And then I saw you on the show and I was really proud of you.” 1.What can be inferred about Yul Kwon? A.He was outgoing and popular as a kid. B.He studied poorly and failed to find a job. C.He is the best Asian-American actor in the USA. D.He was treated badly by some bullies in childhood. 2.Why did Yul Kwon act in the show? A.He was talented in acting and spoke English well. B.He wanted to set a role model for kids like him. C.He lacked money and had to make a living. D.His father persuaded him to have a try. 3.Which of the following best describes Yul Kwon? A.Courageous and positive. B.Negative and thoughtful. C.Generous and demanding. D.Sensitive and hardworking. 4.What’s the main influence of Yul Kwon’s win according to the text? A.Fewer immigrants would be bullied in school. B.The father- son relationship would become tense. C.Asian- American actors would gain more chances. D.More immigrants would dive into the acting industry. 【答案】1.D 2.B 3.A 4.C 【导语】本文为一篇记叙文，讲述了在2006年参加哥伦比亚广播公司(CBS)的《幸存者》节目上首次获得了改变游戏规则地位的亚裔美国人Yul Kwon的个人经历和参加比赛的感受和收获。 1.推理判断题。根据文章第二段“He had a strong accent as a kid, so many people assumed he was a foreigner who could not speak English properly. Kwon grew increasingly quiet to avoid being teased or beaten up. “But the more quiet you are, the more you attract bullies.” he said. Therefore, he suffered a number of social anxiety disorders in childhood.(他小时候口音很重，所以很多人认为他是一个不会说英语的外国人。Kwon变得越来越安静，以避免被取笑或殴打。“但你越安静，就越容易招来恶霸。”他说。因此，他在童年时患有一些社交焦虑障碍)”可推知，Kwon在童年时受到一些恶霸的虐待。故选D。 2.细节理解题。根据文章第五段“Initially, Kwon was not interested, but then he thought back to his hunger for positive role models as a child. He says that if he had seen them, it might have helped him build courage and confidence.(一开始，Kwon 并不感兴趣，但后来他回想起自己小时候对积极榜样的渴望。他说，如果他当时看到了这些榜样，可能会帮助他树立勇气和信心)”可知，Kwon参加节目是因为他想给像他这样的孩子树立一个榜样。故选B。 3.推理判断题。根据文章第四段“Despite a difficult childhood, Kwon went on to earn a bachelor’s degree from Stanford University and a doctorate from Yale Law School.(虽然童年很艰难，但他在斯坦福大学获得了学士学位，在耶鲁大学法学院获得了博士学位)”可知，Kwon的童年很艰难，但是他坚持完成了学业，说明他积极向上；根据文章第三段“He watched a lot of television as a way to learn English, and in the rare times when he did see Asian-Americans on screen, they were portrayed as negative stereotypes.(他把看很多电视作为学习英语的一种方式，当他偶尔在屏幕上看到亚裔美国人时，他们被描绘成负面的刻板印象)”及第五段“Initially, Kwon was not interested, but then he thought back to his hunger for positive role models as a child. He says that if he had seen them, it might have helped him build courage and confidence.(一开始，Kwon 并不感兴趣，但后来他回想起自己小时候对积极榜样的渴望。他说，如果他当时看到了这些榜样，可能会帮助他树立勇气和信心)”可知，尽管知道亚裔人会被当成负面形象，Kwon还是为了其他孩子去参加节目，说明他是有勇气的。故选A。 4.推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段“Kwon surprised even himself by winning the show, a victory he attributes to fair play, where Asian-Americans, African-Americans and so on will share more equal opportunities.(Kwon自己都对赢得这个比赛感到惊讶，他将这一胜利归功于公平竞争，亚裔美国人、非裔美国人等将分享更多平等的机会)”可知，Kwon的获胜表明亚裔美国演员将获得更多的机会。故选C。 【八省期中汇编·阅读·记叙文10】（24-25高三上·河南·阶段练习）On a cold and gray morning, National Park Service biologist Lidia D’Amico grabbed her binoculars (双筒望远镜) and radio and began walking around the island’s roads as usual. On a typical day, she would spend her walk time watching birds. On this day, however, she spotted something strange: a “big figure” perching on a rock on the island’s northwest side. A closer look revealed the unknown object to be a baby sea lion, which was a rare sighting on the rock, and rarer because the creature was so far out of the water. “This sea lion had dragged itself all the way up the rocks and wasn’t moving, which I knew was unusual,” D’Amico explained. The island is not a suitable place for mammals (哺乳类), since it’s exposed to severe conditions and lacks a permanent source of water. A small rock around 100 yards off the north side of the island, called “Little Alcatraz”, is used by 7 to 8 seals during low tide (潮水). But the island is ruled by birds. Upon returning a few hours later to check on the unexpected visitor, D’Amico found the sea lion unmoved, so she made a call to The Marine Mammal Center. Even with the help of fellow park workers, it took great effort to load the 40-pound baby into a box and then they transferred him to The Marine Mammal Center. Once safely ashore, the baby was picked up by the staff from The Marine Mammal Center, who transported him to their animal hospital in the Headlands. For the first month after his rescue, the little baby’s condition was “guarded”, and he was slow to recover. However, with treatment and feedings provided by the staff, he began to gain weight. After two months of treatment, a fat and healthy sea lion could walk slowly. The once ill-fed baby had been cleared to return to the wild. Recovered, he went into the waters of his new life with a new name: Alcatraz, the sea lion. 1.Which of the following can replace the underlined word “perching” in paragraph 2? A.Resting. B.Playing. C.Singing. D.Wandering. 2.What is the author’s purpose in writing the third paragraph? A.To list a related example. B.To summarize previous paragraphs. C.To introduce the main topic. D.To provide background information. 3.What did D’Amico do for the sea lion? A.She helped him go into the water. B.She took care of him in the Headlands. C.She called the Marine Mammal Center. D.She transferred him to the animal center. 4.Which of the following is the suitable title for the text? A.A Strange Island B.The Rescue of a Sea Lion C.Lidia D’Amico’s Adventure D.The Struggling Life of Mammals 【答案】1.A 2.D 3.C 4.B 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲的是国家公园管理局的生物学家Lidia D’Amico在岛上散步时发现了一只异常栖息在岩石上的小海狮，并成功将其救助、治疗和放归野外的故事。 1.词句猜测题。 根据第二段画线词后“This sea lion had dragged itself all the way up the rocks and wasn’t moving(这只海狮一路拖着身子爬上岩石，一动不动)”和第四段“Upon returning a few hours later to check on the unexpected visitor, D’Amico found the sea lion unmoved(几个小时后，D’Amico回来查看这位不速之客的情况，发现这只海狮不动)”可推断，这只海狮栖息在那里一动不动，perching的意思是“暂歇”，和Resting意思相近。故选A。 2.推理判断题。根据第三段“The island is not a suitable place for mammals (哺乳类), since it’s exposed to severe conditions and lacks a permanent source of water. A small rock around 100 yards off the north side of the island, called “Little Alcatraz”, is used by 7 to 8 seals during low tide (潮水). But the island is ruled by birds.(这个岛不适合哺乳动物生存，因为它暴露在恶劣的环境中，而且缺乏永久的水源。离岛北侧约100码的一块小岩石被称为“小恶魔岛”，在退潮时，有7到8只海豹在这里玩耍。但这个岛是由鸟类统治的。)”可知，第三段主要告诉我们这个岛的相关情况，如不适合哺乳动物居住，有一块露出的小岩石被称为“小恶魔岛”，这个岛是由鸟类统治的等，由此推断，本段意在提供相关背景信息。故选D。 3.细节理解题。 根据第四段“Upon returning a few hours later to check on the unexpected visitor, D’Amico found the sea lion unmoved, so she made a call to The Marine Mammal Center.(几个小时后，D’Amico回来查看这位不约而同的访客，发现这只海狮不动，于是她给海洋哺乳动物中心打了电话。)”可知，当D’Amico发现海狮一动不动时，她给海洋哺乳中心打了电话。故选C。 4.主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第四段“Upon returning a few hours later to check on the unexpected visitor, D’Amico found the sea lion unmoved, so she made a call to The Marine Mammal Center. Even with the help of fellow park workers, it took great effort to load the 40-pound baby into a box and then they transferred him to The Marine Mammal Center. Once safely ashore, the baby was picked up by the staff from The Marine Mammal Center, who transported him to their animal hospital in the Headlands.(几个小时后，D’Amico回来查看这位不约而同的访客，发现这只海狮不动，于是她给海洋哺乳动物中心打了电话。即使在公园工作人员的帮助下，他们也花了很大的精力把这个40磅重的婴儿装进一个盒子里，然后他们把它转移到海洋哺乳动物中心。安全上岸后，婴儿被海洋哺乳动物中心的工作人员接走，并被送往海岬的动物医院。)”可知，本文主要讲的是国家公园管理局的生物学家Lidia D’Amico在岛上散步时发现了一只异常栖息在岩石上的小海狮，并成功将其救助、治疗和放归野外的故事，因此最好的题目是B选项“The Rescue of a Sea Lion(拯救一只海狮)”。故选B。 【八省期中汇编·阅读·记叙文11】（24-25高三上·山西·阶段练习）Parents often think that their kids should be good at studies and do well in sports. That’s usually the case because parents feel that could get their children admission to top colleges. However, Melissa and Mark Wimmer think differently. Their 14-year-old son, Mike, is a prodigy. He is a member of Mensa, which is the world’s top IQ club. He completed his high school, associate’s and bachelor’s degrees all in three years. That’s not all. He also ran two tech companies, and founded a third one that works towards controlling the population of lionfish, an invasive (入侵的) species. But the parents are proud that they were able to help Mike with his social skills along with his intellectual skills. Melissa told CNBC that people expected “Young Sheldon” before they met her son. Young Sheldon is a television show about a child talent who is an indoor man and lacks social skills. “But once they talk to Mike, they understand that he’s just a normal 14-year-old that happens to be able to do amazing things,” said Melissa. Mark and Melissa got to know about their child’s intelligence when he entered preschool. A child psychologist told them that their son would need a different course to support his fast-track development. Many parents aren’t comfortable with putting their children with 18-year-olds, but Mike’s parents saw the value in letting their child go through it. “I wanted him to be social and be able to deal with all the different personalities in the classrooms with older children,” said Melissa. The parents shared that they were able to do this by letting Mike find his own voice and put it to use. “We let him order food when he’s 3 or 4 from the waiter or waitress and introduce himself to people. Those kinds of things are done to encourage him to engage with everyone else and be more comfortable talking to others outside of our environment,” said Melissa. Thanks to his parents, Mike has learned to get along with young and old alike. 1.What do the underlined words“a prodigy” in paragraph 2 refer to? A.A genius. B.A common student. C.A bachelor’s degree. D.A young businessman. 2.What do we know about the child in the show Young Sheldon? A.He has the same characteristics with Mike. B.He is a well-rounded boy. C.He is a popular child at school. D.He has trouble in socializing, 3.How did Mike’s parents get to know about their son’s remarkable talent? A.From school teachers’comments. B.Through their son’s behavior. C.From a child psychologist’s advice. D.By letting him study with 18-year-olds. 4.What did Mike’s parents do to improve his social skills? A.They let him run two tech companies. B.They encouraged him to join in some clubs. C.They taught him some rules about interaction. D.They placed him in social situations at early ages. 【答案】1.A 2.D 3.C 4.D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了天才少年Mike的成长经历及其父母如何培养其社交能力。 1.词句猜测题。根据第二段“He is a member of Mensa, which is the world’s top IQ club. He completed his high school, associate’s and bachelor’s degrees all in three years. That’s not all. He also ran two tech companies, and founded a third one that works towards controlling the population of lionfish, an invasive species. (他是门萨俱乐部的成员。他在三年内完成了高中、副学士以及学士学位的学习。不仅如此，他还经营了两家科技公司，并创立了第三家公司，致力于控制入侵物种狮子鱼的数量)”可知，虽然Mike的年龄很小，但是他提前完成学业，经营自己公司，所以“a prodigy”指的是天才。故选A。 2.推理判断题。根据第三段“Young Sheldon is a television show about a child talent who is an indoor man and lacks social skills. “But once they talk to Mike, they understand that he’s just a normal 14-year-old that happens to be able to do amazing things,” said Melissa. (《小谢尔顿》是一部关于一个宅男型的天才儿童的电视剧，这个孩子缺乏社交技能。“但是一旦人们与迈克交谈，他们就会明白他其实只是一个普通的14岁少年，只不过恰好能够做一些令人惊叹的事情而已，”梅丽莎说道)”可知，电视节目《小谢尔顿》中的主角是一个宅男并且缺乏社交技巧，所以他在社交方面有困难。故选D。 3.细节理解题。根据第四段“Mark and Melissa got to know about their child’s intelligence when he entered preschool. A child psychologist told them that their son would need a different course to support his fast-track development. (马克和梅丽莎是在儿子进入幼儿园时了解到他的智力水平的。一位儿童心理学家告诉他们，他们的儿子需要一个特别的课程来支持他的加速发展)”可知，Mike的父母是从儿童心理学家的建议中了解到儿子非凡才能的。故选C。 4.推理判断题。根据最后一段““We let him order food when he’s 3 or 4 from the waiter or waitress and introduce himself to people. Those kinds of things are done to encourage him to engage with everyone else and be more comfortable talking to others outside of our environment,” said Melissa. (“当他三四岁的时候，我们就让他向服务员点餐，并向他人介绍自己。做这些事情是为了鼓励他与其他人互动，并且在他熟悉的环境之外也能更自在地与人交谈，”梅丽莎说道)”可知，Mike在三四岁的时候就向服务员点餐，并向他人介绍自己。所以Mike的父母通过让他在很小的时候就参与到社交情境中来提高他的社交技能。故选D。 【八省期中汇编·阅读·记叙文12】（24-25高三上·山西·阶段练习）For twelve years I’d worked at the hospital. One day they told me I was no longer needed. I understood that it was a cost-cutting move to replace me with someone with less experience and a lower salary. But my understanding didn’t excise the pain of feeling abandoned and useless. At sixty-two, what opportunities existed for someone at my age? “Dear Lord,” I prayed, “show me the way.” As he so often does, he answered through someone else, a fellow health educator at another hospital. When I shared my worries about my future, she told me about a conference she had attended recently. “I’ve just learned the most helpful tool,” she said. “No matter what the situation is, there is an opposite, a benefit. Our typical response is to focus on the losses of job, marriage, home, or even health. Instead, the speaker told us to concentrate on finding what we gained with our loss.” At first, I resisted her advice as I was extremely sad. I missed the meaningful challenges of organizing health education classes for the sick. But as time passed, I grew tired of my sorrow. Maybe I should try my friend’s advice and seek some opposites. Yet it wasn’t until our trip to Africa that I understood the power of opposite thinking. In 2023, we flew eight thousand miles to a village in West Africa. We brought many presents, believing that somehow we could improve the villagers’ lives. Instead, they taught us the opposite. Our lives were the ones that needed improving. Despite living in mud huts without modern conveniences, running water, or sanitation (卫生设备), the villagers appeared content. Frequently laughing and greeting each other, they truly cared for their neighbors. Although we slept on the ground, I felt a peace I hadn’t known since I left my job. I had expected we would spend our time helping the poor villagers. Instead, they were teaching us that having less meant less to worry about and more time and energy for each other. These wonderful people with a different faith taught me an important lesson that guided me through the darkness of life. 1.What can we learn about the author? A.She lacked work experience. B.She demanded higher salary. C.She didn’t perform well at work. D.She was dismissed by the hospital. 2.What does the underlined word “excise” in paragraph 2 mean? A.Remove. B.Deepen. C.Classify. D.Describe. 3.What did the fellow health educator suggest the author do? A.Reevaluate her situation and find solutions to the failure. B.Search for inner peace and cast off the economic darkness. C.Stay positive and concentrate on health care education. D.Shift her attitude to adversity and look on the bright side. 4.What lesson did the author learn from the villagers in Africa? A.Face up to the cruel realities of life. B.Fortune favors those who use their judgement. C.Owning more not necessarily adds to our happiness. D.Devoting to volunteering can gain a sense of achievement. 【答案】1.D 2.A 3.D 4.C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲的是62岁的作者被辞退后，去了一趟非洲，从当地村民那里获得了人生感悟。 1.细节理解题。根据第一段“One day they told me I was no longer needed.(有一天他们告诉我不再需要我了。)”可知，有人告诉作者不再被需要了，由此可知，作者被医院解雇了。故选D。 2.词句猜测题。根据第二段“When I shared my worries about my future(当我分享我对未来的担忧时)”可知，作者被辞退后对未来有些担忧，由此可知，作者的理解并没有消除“被抛弃和无用的”痛苦，excise的意思是“去除”，和Remove意思相近。故选A。 3.细节理解题。根据第三段中的“No matter what the situation is,there is an opposite,a benefit.(无论在什么情况下，都有相反的一面，有好处。)”以及“Instead, the speaker told us to concentrate on finding what we gained with our loss.(相反，演讲者告诉我们要集中精力寻找我们从失去中得到的东西。)”可知，这位健康教育家建议作者改变她面对逆境的态度，看到光明的一面。故选D。 4.推理判断题。根据最后一段“Instead, they were teaching us that having less meant less to worry about and more time and energy for each other.(相反，他们告诉我们，拥有的越少意味着担心的越少，为彼此腾出更多的时间和精力。)”可知，作者从非洲村民那里学到了拥有更多不一定会增加我们的幸福。故选C。 【八省期中汇编·阅读·记叙文13】（24-25高三上·山西忻州·阶段练习）This is my fourth mission to space, my second to the International Space Station (ISS), and I’ve been here for three weeks now. I’m getting better at knowing where I am when I first wake up. My bedroom is just big enough for me and my sleeping bag, two laptops, some clothes, photos of my wife and daughters, a few books. Getting dressed is a little bit difficult when I can’t “sit” or “stand”, but I’ve gotten used to it. The most challenging thing is putting on my socks. It’s not a challenge to figure out what to wear, since I wear the same thing every day. However, without gravity to help me bend over, it is very difficult to pull my legs up to my chest. At present, we have three Americans living at the station: Samantha, Terry and me. Samantha is one of the few women to have served as a fighter pilot in the Italian Air Force, and she is competent in everything technical. She is also friendly and quick to laugh. She is especially gifted for language. She has native-level fluency in English and Russian (the two official languages of the ISS) as well as French, German, and her native Italian. She is also working on learning Chinese. For some people who hope to fly in space, language can be a challenge. We all have to be able to speak a second language (I’ve been studying Russian for years), but the European and Japanese astronauts have the added burden of learning two languages if they don’t already speak English or Russian. Terry was a test pilot before joining NASA.He has all the positive qualities of a leader — optimism, enthusiasm, friendliness — and none of the negative ones. I’ve found him to be consistently competent, and I appreciate that as a leader he is a consensus builder rather than a bossy commander. Since I’ve been up here, he has always been respectful of my previous experience, always open to suggestions about how to do things better rather than getting defensive or competitive. 1.Why does the author find it challenging to put on his socks at the ISS? A.He has too many choices. B.It is uneasy to pull his legs up. C.The bedroom is too small. D.He can’t find a chair to sit on. 2.Samantha has left the deepest impression on the author probably because of her _______. A.good humor B.technical skills C.language talent D.loud laughing 3.What can be inferred from paragraph 4? A.Speaking English or Russian is a must for the ISS astronauts. B.All the ISS astronauts have to be able to speak three languages. C.European and Japanese astronauts are not good at communication. D.There are language workshops on the International Space Station. 4.Which of the following can best describe Terry? A.He is competitive and defensive. B.He is a perfect leader. C.He is the most experienced man at the ISS. D.He is just a little bit bossy. 【答案】1.B 2.C 3.A 4.B 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者在国际空间站的工作及起居情况。 1.细节理解题。根据第二段“However, without gravity to help me bend over, it is very difficult to pull my legs up to my chest.(然而，没有重力帮助我弯腰，很难把腿拉到胸前。)”可知，在失重环境下，抬腿很困难。故选B。 2.推理判断题。根据第三段“She is especially gifted for language. She has native-level fluency in English and Russian (the two official languages of the ISS) as well as French, German, and her native Italian. She is also working on learning Chinese. (她在语言方面特别有天赋。她精通英语和俄语（国际空间站的两种官方语言）以及法语、德语和她的母语意大利语。她也在努力学习中文。)”可推断作者对Samantha印象最深的是她的语言天赋。故选C。 3.推理判断题。根据第四段“We all have to be able to speak a second language (I’ve been studying Russian for years), but the European and Japanese astronauts have the added burden of learning two languages if they don’t already speak English or Russian.(我们都必须会说第二语言（我已经学习俄语很多年了），但欧洲和日本的宇航员如果不会说英语或俄语，就会有学习两门语言的额外负担。)”可推断，在国际空间站，宇航员必须会讲英语或俄语。故选A。 4.细节理解题。根据最后一段“He has all the positive qualities of a leader — optimism, enthusiasm, friendliness — and none of the negative ones. I’ve found him to be consistently competent, and I appreciate that as a leader he is a consensus builder rather than a bossy commander. Since I’ve been up here, he has always been respectful of my previous experience, always open to suggestions about how to do things better rather than getting defensive or competitive.(他具有一个领导者所具有的一切积极品质——乐观、热情、友善——而没有任何消极的品质。我发现他一直都很有能力，作为一个领导者，我很欣赏他是一个共识的缔造者，而不是一个专横的指挥官。自从我来到这里，他一直很尊重我以前的经验，总是愿意接受我的建议，告诉我如何把事情做得更好，而不是变得防守或竞争。)”可知，Terry是一个完美的负责人。故选B。 【八省期中汇编·阅读·记叙文14】（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.

I was going along fine with instant recall of my bank PIN, my mobile phone number and the date of my cousin’s birthday before I downloaded a gas station payment app for its new customer discount. It asked me to create a password. When I typed in “gas 1”, it was rejected for not being complex enough. I tried again: “IHateHearlessOilCompanies@”. But that was too long and didn’t include “at least one number”. But here is the thing: as soon as I added the fresh password into my memory, I instantly forgot all the others. My brain had hit its limit for passwords. I now know nothing. I had entered some passwords in a notebook. Of course, I didn’t write down the actual passwords, in case it fell into the wrong hands. Instead, I masked them in a way that only a family member could figure them out. For example, I combined my bank PIN with our postal code, then added it to a list of phone numbers. It would fool even Albert Einstein. Maybe we need a system like the one we use to remember people’s names. You know, you form an association between a person’s characteristics and their name by whispering “Skinny George. Skinny George” in heart after meeting them. The risk is that, upon seeing him, you’ll burst out the phrase. “Skinny George” might not mind, but it’s possible “Boring Betty” will. As for remembering passwords as you change them, you could simply use the first and last letters of your favorite singer’s greatest hits, together with the year of their release. Maybe I’ll try that one out, but only after describing the system in the notebook. Then I’ll hide it in a place so secret that I’ll never remember where it is. 1.What can we learn about the author from the first two paragraphs? A.He fell for a marketing trick. B.He was driven mad by passwords. C.He had a serious memory disorder. D.He was rejected by the gas station. 2.By mentioning Albert Einstein in paragraph 3, what does the author mean to do? A.To advertise a more scientific password system. B.To fool the intelligent scientist in his way. C.To prove the uselessness of his passwords. D.To show how safe his passwords were. 3.What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A.To encourage readers to use password notebooks. B.To recommend a password-remembering method. C.To complain about the trouble caused by passwords. D.To highlight the importance of using complex passwords. 4.How does the author sound in this passage? A.Humorous. B.Indifferent. C.Serious. D.Absurd. 【答案】1.B 2.D 3.C 4.A 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者因为尝试记住过于复杂的密码，反而导致自己忘记了其他所有密码的尴尬经历。 1.推理判断题。根据第一段“They talk about the straw that broke the camel’s back, but really it should be the password that wiped out my memory bank. (他们说的是压垮骆驼背的稻草，但实际上应该是密码毁掉了我的记忆库)”以及第二段中“But here is the thing: as soon as I added the fresh password into my memory, I instantly forgot all the others. My brain had hit its limit for passwords. I now know nothing. (但事情是这样的：当我把新密码添加到我的记忆中时，我立刻忘记了所有其他密码。我的大脑已经达到了密码的极限。我现在什么都不知道)”可知，作者更新了密码之后却忘记了其他密码，被密码所累，由此可知，他被密码逼疯了。故选B项。 2.推理判断题。根据第三段中“Instead, I masked them in a way that only a family member could figure them out.

My brain had hit its limit for passwords. I now know nothing. (但事情是这样的：当我把新密码添加到我的记忆中时，我立刻忘记了所有其他密码。我的大脑已经达到了密码的极限。我现在什么都不知道)”、第三段中“Instead, I masked them in a way that only a family member could figure them out.

Mine was a Schwinn coaster bike, second-hand, painted a distinctive red and yellow by its previous owner. I remember riding too fast down the big hill on Springfield Avenue. I knew at once that the world was mine to explore. A couple of years later, when I was 11, my grandmother visited from England, bringing me a bike. It was a shiny dark green, with three gears (齿轮) and hand brakes. As the owner of the first English bicycle my neighbors had ever seen, I was, for a time, almost a star. Unlike my coaster bike, it was light and responsive — riding it felt like flying. I rode it past big stone houses with their huge yards and trees. I rode past brick row houses. I rode alone and with groups of friends. That beloved bike went with me to college, carrying me to the library and to classes. Beyond transport, it was often a prop (道具): pushing it along as I walked the college paths made me feel less self-conscious. Somehow, conversation flowed more easily on either side of a bike. After college, I lived abroad for a time. Returning from London, I discovered to my horror that my parents had sold my bike. They didn’t even know who had bought it. For years after that, I didn’t have a bicycle that was specifically mine. Teaching in a New England prep school, I simply rode whatever bikes its graduates had left behind. I rode around the little town on bikes which slipped in and out of gear, with brakes that often failed. I did not take any of those bikes with me when I moved south to the coastal town where I now live. But after a while I missed riding. Finally, on a fall day, I bought a bicycle. Called a comfort bike, it has wider tires than my old bike and seven gears. But it is green — a brighter green bike. Still, I was a bit apprehensive. I was out of practice and a lot older. I brought the bike home and put on my helmet — I’d never worn a helm et before. Then I got on the bike. After a tentative, slightly shaky start, I fell exactly as I was on that long- ago day on Springfield Avenue: free. Soon I was riding along. It seemed that everyone I passed smiled and waved or called out, “Great day for a bike ride!” And I knew they all remembered their first bike and how it had set them free. I wanted to call back to them, “I still can!” 1.According to the article, the author’s beloved bike _______. A.was a red and yellow coaster bike B.made her the envy of all her friends C.was her birthday gift from her grandmother D.made her shy and awkward at times at college 2.While pushing the English bike along, the author _______. A.felt bored B.felt special C.became talkative D.became lost in thought 3.When she was teaching at a prep school, the author _______. A.didn’t like her once- beloved bike B.got out of the habit of riding bikes C.wasn’t picky about the bikes he rode D.rode bikes that had been recommended to her by graduates 4.What was the author’s main purpose in writing this article? A.To describe the different bikes she has been riding alone. B.To recall the joy and freedom she has enjoyed thanks to riding. C.To inform us of the fun and benefits of riding bikes with others. D.To tell us about how she grew up through her riding experiences. 【答案】1.B 2.C 3.C 4.B 【导语】本文为一篇记叙文。本文讲述了作者热爱骑自行车，通过骑行她感受到了人们的温暖，感受到了自由。作者回忆了骑行给自己带来的快乐。 1.推理判断题。根据文章第二段中“As the owner of the first English bicycle my neighbors had ever seen, I was, for a time, almost a star.(当我的邻居第一次看到一辆英国自行车时，我几乎成了一颗明星)”可知，他的朋友们很羡慕他。故选B。 2.细节理解题。根据第四段“Beyond transport, it was often a prop (道具): pushing it along as I walked the college paths made me feel less self-conscious. Somehow, conversation flowed more easily on either side of a bike.(除了作为交通工具，它通常还充当道具：当我走在大学的小路上推着它时，我感觉没那么不自在。不知为何，在自行车的两侧，双方交谈起来会更加轻松自如。)”可知，当作者推着自行车的时候，变得更加健谈了。故选C。 3.推理判断题。根据文章第六段“For years after that, I didn’t have a bicycle that was specifically mine. Teaching in a New England prep school, I simply rode whatever bikes its graduates had left behind. I rode around the little town on bikes which slipped in and out of gear, with brakes that often failed.(在那之后的几年里，我一直没有一辆专属于自己的自行车。我在一所新英格兰的预备学校教书，只能骑那些毕业生留下来的自行车。我骑着这些经常掉链子、刹车也经常失灵的自行车，在小镇上四处穿梭。)”可推知，作者对所骑的自行车不挑剔。故选C。 4.推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中“It seemed that everyone I passed smiled and waved or call out, great day for a bike ride! And I knew they all remembered their first bike and how it had set them free. I wanted to call back to them,  “I still can!”(似乎我经过的每个人都微笑着挥手，或者喊着说，骑车的好日子！我知道他们都记得他们的第一辆自行车，以及它是如何让他们获得自由的。我想对他们说：“我现在还能！”)”可知，作者通过骑行感受到了人们的温暖，感受到了自由。由此推知，作者写这篇文章的主要目的是为了回忆骑车带给她的快乐和自由。故选B。 【八省期中汇编·阅读·记叙文17】（24-25高三上·陕西西安·阶段练习）Anxiety has followed me around like a lost dog looking for a bone for years now. I feel it the most strongly when I’m worried about my health or my daughter’s health. I feel an unusual sensation and all of a sudden: panic! My worries are not limited to health concerns though, and they go in the direction of anxiety about the future of the world, worries about my finances, and fears that I’m not good enough. Let me go back a few decades, back to when anxiety wasn’t part of my life. When I was a child, I loved art. I drew and I colored because that’s what I enjoyed. I went to college to become an art teacher. When I finished school in May of 2001, I had a part-time design job, and after the event of September 11th, 2001, I knew I needed to travel, to get out of the safe life I was living in my hometown. That’s when my creative practices fell by the wayside. Luckily, after the birth of my daughter in 2014, the desire to create came back. At first, I was using a tiny corner of a bedroom in our rental house to paint. Eventually we bought a house, and I had the space to spread out, ready to paint whenever the urge struck. That’s when I started noticing something important: Painting stilled me in a way that nothing else did. It eased my fears and anxieties in a way other practices (deep breathing, etc) did not, at least not as consistently. When anxious thoughts start, I know what to do. I head into my studio, grab some materials, and start creating. Soon enough, the worries are gone and instead my mind is quiet. I think the reason why painting is so helpful for my anxiety is that, in order for me to be anxious, I have to be worrying about the future and what it holds. When I’m doing an activity that requires my full concentration, I have to be in the moment. It doesn’t matter if you’re artistic. The only thing that matters is finding a way to be here, in the now, instead of in the unknowable future. 1.Which of the following best describes the author in paragraph 1? A.Cautious. B.Impatient. C.Carefree. D.Insecure. 2.Why did the author give up on art temporarily? A.Because her daughter was born. B.Because she couldn’t make a living. C.Because some big event happened. D.Because she was busy with her study. 3.How does painting ease the author’s fears and anxieties? A.Painting makes her stay in a place. B.Colors of painting calm her down. C.Painting makes less room for worries. D.Painting is a very creative activity. 4.What does the story mainly tell us? A.What is important is to seize the moment. B.Anxiety may be beneficial to life at times. C.It is necessary to learn some art in childhood. D.Painting is the best way to ease people’s mind. 【答案】1.D 2.C 3.C 4.A 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者通过绘画来缓解焦虑和担忧的经历，强调了活在当下的重要性。 1.推理判断题。根据第一段“Anxiety has followed me around like a lost dog looking for a bone for years now. I feel it the most strongly when I’m worried about my health or my daughter’s health. My worries are not limited to health concerns though, and they go in the direction of anxiety about the future of the world, worries about my finances, and fears that I’m not good enough.(多年来，焦虑就像一只寻找骨头的迷路狗一样跟着我。当我担心自己或女儿的健康时，我感受最深。然而，我的担忧并不仅限于健康问题，还包括对世界未来的焦虑、对财务状况的担忧，以及担心自己不够好)”可知，作者多年来一直被焦虑所困扰，担心自己和女儿的健康，以及对未来的担忧等，说明作者感到不安全。由此可推断出，作者在第一段中给人的印象是“不安全的（Insecure）”。故选D项。 2.细节理解题。根据第二段中“When I finished school in May of 2001, I had a part-time design job, and after the event of September 11th, 2001, I knew I needed to travel, to get out of the safe life I was living in my hometown. That’s when my creative practices fell by the wayside.(2001年5月，当我完成学业时，我有了一份兼职设计工作，2001年9月11日事件之后，我知道我需要旅行，走出我在家乡过着的安逸生活。就在那时，我的创作实践被搁置一旁)”可知，作者在2001年9月11日事件之后，决定去旅行，走出安逸的生活，因此暂时放弃了艺术创作。由此可知，作者暂时放弃艺术是因为“发生了一些重大事件”。故选C项。 3.推理判断题。根据第三段“That’s when I started noticing something important: Painting stilled me in a way that nothing else did. It eased my fears and anxieties in a way other practices (deep breathing, etc) did not, at least not as consistently. When anxious thoughts start, I know what to do. I head into my studio, grab some materials, and start creating. Soon enough, the worries are gone and instead my mind is quiet.(就在那时，我开始注意到一件重要的事情：绘画以一种其他任何方式都无法做到的方式让我平静下来。它以其他方式（深呼吸等）无法缓解我的恐惧和焦虑，至少不像绘画那样持续。当焦虑的想法开始时，我就知道该怎么做。我走进我的工作室，拿起一些材料，开始创作。很快，担忧就消失了，取而代之的是我的头脑变得平静)”可知，绘画能让作者平静下来，缓解恐惧和焦虑，当作者感到焦虑时，就会走进工作室开始创作，很快担忧就消失了，头脑变得平静。由此可推断出，绘画通过减少担忧的空间来缓解作者的恐惧和焦虑。故选C项。 4.主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其结合最后一段“I think the reason why painting is so helpful for my anxiety is that, in order for me to be anxious, I have to be worrying about the future and what it holds. When I’m doing an activity that requires my full concentration, I have to be in the moment. It doesn’t matter if you’re artistic. The only thing that matters is finding a way to be here, in the now, instead of in the unknowable future.(我认为绘画对我的焦虑如此有帮助的原因是，为了让我焦虑，我必须担心未来和它所带来的东西。当我做一件需要全神贯注的事情时，我必须活在当下。你是否有艺术天赋并不重要。唯一重要的是找到一种方法，活在现在，而不是不可知的未来)”可知，作者认为绘画对她的焦虑有帮助，因为当她全神贯注于绘画时，她必须活在当下，而不是担心未来。由此可知，文章通过讲述作者通过绘画来缓解焦虑和担忧的经历，强调了活在当下的重要性。故选A项。 【八省期中汇编·阅读·记叙文18】（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. 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. B.Conventional and careless. C.Ambitious and kind-hearted. 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. 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)”可知，作者在退休后学习钢琴是为了追求对音乐的长期热爱。故选D。 2.推理判断题。根据第四段“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”.(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60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。 【八省期中汇编·阅读·记叙文19】（24-25高三上·青海西宁·期中考试）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. The Southeast Asian Games is held every two years and athletes from the 11 nations in the region compete against each other in 581 events. Its closing ceremony is set for Wednesday. 1.What does the word “drenched” underlined in paragraph one mean? A.Wet. B.Smelly. C.Pretty. D.Energetic. 2.How did Bou Samnang feel about the response from the social media? A.Depressed. B.Surprised. C.Annoyed. D.Amused. 3.What does King Norodom Sihamoni mean? A.Bou Samnan g should set a better example. B.He is disappointed that his country has not won. C.He takes pride in hosting the Games in Cambodia. D.The significance of sports goes beyond winning medals. 4.Which of the following best describes Bou Samnan g as an athlete? A.Talented. B.Competitive. C.Determined. D.Promising. 【答案】1.A 2.B 3.D 4.C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Bou Samnang在远远落后于其他选手的情况下，为了祖国的荣誉坚持冒雨跑完全程的故事，她那“失败者的勇气”感动了所有的观众。 1.词义猜测题。根据画线词前“The race was long decided, and it was raining cats and dogs.(比赛结果早已确定无疑，现在正下着倾盆大雨。)” 可知，现在正下着大雨，由此可推断，Bou Samnang的全身都湿透了，由此可知，画线单词的意思与“湿透了”意义相近。故选A项。 2.细节理解题。根据第五段中的“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.(这位运动员后来说，她对最后一名感到失望，但也很高兴听到人们支持她，并对视频引起如此大的兴奋感到惊讶。)” 可知，Bou Samnang觉得自己跑到最后一名感到失望，但是对视频引起如此大的兴奋感到惊讶。故选B项。 3.细节理解题。根据第六段中的“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.(柬埔寨国王Norodom Sihamoni也赞扬了她的表现，他说他为她感到骄傲，因为她提醒大家，体育不仅仅是输赢。)” 可知，Norodom Sihamoni赞扬了她的表现，认为她提醒大家体育并非只是输赢，由此可知，国王认为运动的意义应该超越奖牌的得失。故选D项。 4.推理判断题。根据第二段““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.”(“我试图到达终点线，因为我想告诉人们，在生活中，即使我们走得有点慢或有点快，我们都会到达目的地，”她在接受采访时说。“即使我们是最后一名，即使天气很糟糕，即使感觉我们做不到，我们也不应该放弃。”)”可知，Bou Samnang认为无论走的快慢，最后都会到达目的地，在她是最后一名且天气很糟糕的时候，都坚持跑完全程，没有放弃，由此可推断，Bou Samnang 是个意志坚定的人。故选C项。 【八省期中汇编·阅读·记叙文20】（24-25高三上·宁夏吴忠·阶段练习）Every Tuesday, my children prepare themselves in a unique manner. They gather their gardening tools, put on old clothes that can get dirty, and sometimes even bring a small notebook and pen. Then, I drive them to a community garden where they spend the whole day at a gardening club. When I initially enrolled them in this program, I was excited about the concept but had some concerns as a parent. Would they enjoy getting their hands dirty all day? Would they be able to focus for such a long time? But when I asked them if they ever felt bored, they looked at me strangely. They clearly didn’t understand my worry, which made me realize my concerns might be unfounded. In this club, kids have the freedom to choose what they want to grow, whether it’s colorful flowers or delicious vegetables. They aren’t told that their choices are wrong but are encouraged to experiment. Something my children love about the gardening club is that they aren’t rushed to finish one task and move on to the next. Instead, they can take their time and explore as much as their interest leads them. "Don’t they miss out on regular school activities?" worried parents have questioned me. Both of their teachers don’t see it as an issue, and more importantly, my kids are acquiring new skills that a traditional classroom can’t offer. They are learning to notice the small changes in plants and understand the growth cycle — a lesson that’s hard to teach in a classroom. They are making friends with people of different ages. They work together, sharing their ideas and efforts to make the garden beautiful. I’m grateful that the gardening club is influencing my children’s connection with nature. They are learning how to care for plants, how to be patient, and gaining knowledge that will make them appreciate nature more in the future. 1.What do the children take when going to the gardening club? A.Gardening books. B.Old clothes. C.Gardening hats. D.Watering cans. 2.The underlined word “unfounded” in the passage probably means _______. A.without a basis B.very serious C.easy to understand D.difficult to solve 3.We can infer from the passage that ______. A.The author was against the gardening club at first. B.The children have learned a lot from the gardening club. C.The gardening club is not popular among parents. D.The children don’t like the gardening club. 4.What is the main idea of the passage? A.The benefits of the gardening club for children. B.The activities in the gardening club. C.The author’s concerns about the gardening club. D.How children make friends in the gardening club. 【答案】1.B 2.A 3.B 4.A 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者的孩子们参加园艺俱乐部的经历以及园艺俱乐部对孩子们的影响。 1.细节理解题。根据第一段中“They gather their gardening tools, put on old clothes that can get dirty, and sometimes even bring a small notebook and pen.(他们收集园艺工具，穿上可能弄脏的旧衣服，有时甚至带上一个小笔记本和一支笔)”可知，孩子们去园艺俱乐部时会带旧衣服。故选B项。 2.词ju 猜测题。根据第二段中“Would they be able to focus for such a long time? But when I asked them if they ever felt bored, they looked at me strangely. They clearly didn’t understand my worry…(他们能专注这么长时间吗？但当我问他们是否感到无聊时，他们奇怪地看着我。他们显然不理解我的担心……)”可知，这让我意识到我的担心可能是没有根据的。故可猜测划线单词unfounded为“没有根据的”意思，与A项without a basis“没有根据”意思一致。故选A项。 3.推理判断题。根据最后一段中“They are learning how to care for plants, how to be patient, and gaining knowledge that will make them appreciate nature more in the future.( 他们正在学习如何照顾植物，如何有耐心，并获得知识，使他们在未来更加欣赏自然)”可推知，孩子们从园艺俱乐部学到了很多东西。故选B项。 4.主旨大意题。根据文章大意以及最后一段“I’m grateful that the gardening club is influencing my children’s connection with nature. They are learning how to care for plants, how to be patient, and gaining knowledge that will make them appreciate nature more in the future.( 我很感激园艺俱乐部正在影响我的孩子与大自然的联系。他们正在学习如何照顾植物，如何有耐心，并获得知识，使他们在未来更加欣赏自然)”可知，文章主要讲的是儿童园艺俱乐部对孩子产生的积极影响以及它的好处。故选A项。 试卷第2页，共43页 3 / 43 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
