Not after relocating my family from drought and wildfire California to the “climate shelter” of Asheville, N.C. But less than two months after we moved into our delightfully wooded, mild-weather community, we were forced to leave. On September 26, the hurricane made its way inland from the Gulf of Mexico through Florida, Georgia and South Carolina. Along its path, it tore apart community after community. And then it hit western Appalachia. At 2,000 feet above sea level and 300 miles from the coast, Asheville is a place where people went to get away from destructive hurricanes. That night, I couldn’t sleep. Trees crashed down around my home as emergency alerts sounded on my phone. Power lines went down. Roads flooded. Despite being within a mile of the French Broad River, we were not told to evacuate(撤离) ahead of the storm. In the morning, after it seemed the worst had passed, a large pine tree crashed onto the roof directly above my young son’s bedroom while he was playing with LEGOs. He was thankfully unharmed, but it drove home the severity of what was happening around us. My young daughter held me tightly saying over and over, “I’m scared.” It was hard to get information about what was going on across Asheville. Within hours, we lost power, Internet and even cell service. A neighbor told me we could get information on the radio, so I sat in my car to listen to the local radio station’s updates. That’s how I learned that the water wasn’t safe to drink. The treatment plant was under eight feet of water and the distribution pipes had washed away. When we heard it would take weeks or longer to restore basic services, I made plans for my family to leave town. We were lucky — we lived near the one highway that was open, and had a full tank of gas and a place to go. So on Sunday we left Asheville to stay with family on the Outer Banks. 36. The author moved to Asheville, N.C. to _______________. A. get closer to the Gulf of Mexico B. find a new job in South Carolina C. live near the French Broad River D. flee California’s drought and wildfire 37.

The family felt alarmed at the sight of the tree crashing down. D. The family became more at ease about the situation at that time. 38. What can be inferred from paragragh 5? A. Timely access to information is important during a disaster. B. The treatment plant is supposed to be built deep underwater. C. People must depend on neighbors for survival in a disaster. D. Protecting water resources promotes a sense of community. 39. What is the best title of the passage? A. Consequences of a hurricane B. Measures against the disaster C. A new beginning in Asheville D. An account of a climate refugee （二） （2025年闵行一模） Back in her twenties, Linda Park was all about fashion. But she also started noticing something disturbing: the fashion industry was seriously hurting the environment. As she worked as a designer, she was shocked by the mountains of unsold clothes, fabrics that would hang around for decades, and the harmful dyes （染料） dumping into rivers. It hit her — if she was going to make a real difference, she'd have to roll up her sleeves（袖子） and tackle fashion's waste problem herself. Every year, millions of tons of clothing are thrown aside, with almost half of it ending up in landfills. And here's the kicker: most of it barely gets worn before it's thrown away, thanks to the endless cycle of fast fashion. Park thought, “I can do better than this.” So, she pictured a new kind of store —— one that wouldn't just reduce waste but would also inspire people to make smarter, greener choices. In September 2020, Park launched GreenThread — her sustainable fashion dream came true. The store's special touch? It sold upcycled clothing and fabric made from waste materials. Customers could bring in their old clothes and trade them for store credit, giving the items a second life. GreenThread's clothes were a mix of repurposed fabrics and eco-friendly dyes, proving that sustainable fashion can be stylish. Now, GreenThread's clothes aren't exactly cheap. A T-shirt might cost $25, while the same one at a regular store could be $15. But here's the deal: people love the quality, the durability, and the fact that they' re supporting an eco-friendly brand. It feels good to be part of the solution, right? When the pandemic（疫情） hit, it wasn't smooth sailing. But Park wasn't ready to call it quits. She switched to an online model and started offering virtual style consultations. The response was awesome, and GreenThread's fan base grew as more people realized the benefits of shopping sustainably. Park says the mission of her store goes beyond just selling clothes. “Each piece has its own story,” she smiles. “Customers can see how many lives a fabric has lived. It's not just fashion; it's a movement.” 36.________ inspired Linda Park to start her business. A. A desire to promote eco-friendly dyes B. The high demand for recycled clothing C. The waste generated by the fashion industry D. Her background in sustainable design 37. The phrase “the kicker” in paragraph 2 most likely means________. A. the person kicking the football B. something unexpected and surprising C. the most exciting part of the situation D. the reason why fast fashion is successful 38. Which of the following best describes Park's attitude towards her business? A. Optimistic and practical. B. Carefree and relaxed. C. Focused and cautious. D. Creative and determined. 39. According to the last paragraph, what do customers appreciate about GreenThread? A. The unique story and mission behind each piece. B. The emotional satisfaction of owning a unique piece. C. The chance to see how many times the fabric has been reused. D. The ability to trace the environmental impact of the material. （三） （2025年普陀区一模） Summerhill This is a story of a modern school—Summerhill. Summerhill began as an experimental school. It is no longer such;it is now a demonstration school, for it demonstrates that freedom works. When my wife and I began the school, we had one main philosophy:to make the school fit the child— instead of making the child fit the school. Obviously, a school that makes active children sit at desks studying mostly useless subjects is a bad school. It is a good school only for those who believe in such a school, for those uncreative citizens who want obedient, uncreative children who will fit into a civilization whose standard of success is fame and fortune. I had taught in ordinary schools for many years. I knew the other way well. I knew it was all wrong. It was wrong because it was based on an adult conception of what a child should be and of how a child should learn. Well, we set out to make a school in which we should allow children freedom to be themselves. In order to do this, we had to abandon all disciplines, all directions, all suggestions, all moral training, and all religious instructions. We have been called brave, but it did not require courage. All it required was what we had—a complete belief in the child as a good, not an evil, being. My view is that a child is born wise and realistic. If left to himself without adult suggestions of any kind, he will develop as far as he is capable of developing. Logically, Summerhill is a place in which people who have the inherent ability and wish to be scholars will be scholars;while those who are only fit to sweep the streets will sweep the streets. But we have not produced a street cleaner so far. Nor do I write this snobbishly(势利的), for I would rather see a school produce a happy street cleaner than an anxious scholar. 36. According to the passage, what was the primary idea behind starting Summerhill School? A. To ensure students become happy scholars. B. To focus on moral and religious instructions. C. To make the school adapt to the needs of each child. D. To make children suitable for the existing social system. 37. The founders of Summerhill School believe that children A. need strict discipline to be successful B. are naturally wise and realistic C. should focus primarily on religious education D. are more creative with adult guidance 38. What is the main idea of the passage? A. Summerhill School uses a unique educational approach centered on giving children freedom. B. Summerhill School believes every child has the potential to become a successful scholar. C. Summerhill School rejects strict discipline and focuses on a child-centered environment. D. Summerhill School challenges the traditional model by emphasizing children's independence. 39. Why does the author mention preferring a "happy street cleaner"to an "anxious scholar"? A. To encourage students to avoid becoming worried scholars. B. To emphasize that street cleaners are happier than scholars. C. To highlight the importance of a stress-free and enriching life. D. To demonstrate that Summerhill cares less about academic achievements. （四） （2025年嘉定一模） It’s strange how a single moment can shift everything you think you know. One winter morning all it took was a little stubbornness (固执) and a lot of snow for me to learn a lesson I’d remember for years, This is the story of how I wrecked my dad’s car. It was early January, and I was a senior in high school. It was a regular Tuesday morning, and like every other day, I grabbed my jacket, picked up the keys from the counter, and was about to head out when my dad stopped me. “Whoa, there,” he said, glancing at the snow piling up outside. “The roads are covered in snow. You’re taking the bus today.” I argued, pointing out that school was about to start, and I didn’t want to wait for the bus. My dad, known for his stubbornness, wouldn’t give in. After a few heated words, he sighed and handed me the keys. “Fine, but be careful,” he said. I slid into the car, a bit triumphant. The roads looked fine, I thought, barely an inch of snow, I started the car and pulled out of the driveway, feeling a surge of independence. But as I made my way through the neighborhood, the slippery roads tested my confidence. One sharp turn later, and f was in trouble — the car started to skid. I tried to slow down, but it was too late. The car slid right into a snowbank. I spent a long frustrating minute trying to get it out. pressing down on the engine, trying every trick I knew. Eventually, I realized I was going to have to call my dad. When he arrived, his face was a mix of anger and disappointment. We pulled the car out with some help, but the damage was done. Now, every time I’m tempted to ignore someone’s advice, I think back to that day. Sometimes it’s smarter to listen than to prove a point. That day left me a little poorer and a lot wiser. 36.

I was sorting through a box of old photographs. 2“Who’s that?” he asked. 3“That was my grandfather, the one who died a few months ago.” 4“Hmm. Too bad he had to die.” 5Just as I was about to put the last of the pictures in the box, Max pressed his finger to a face. “And who will this be to me?” 6Beneath his finger I could see the edges of my own face. I was suddenly flooded with a joy which I had no name. This son of the man I loved was becoming my son. We’d have family Christmas cards and school art stuck to the fridge. All these things I’d never allowed myself to want. Now I was becoming a mother. 7I should have known how to say just the right, wise, magical thing. But I didn’t. “I’ll be your second mom,” I said. 8“Oh.” 9“I’m sorry that your first mom died. I liked her.” 10“What should I call you?” he asked. 11My heart pounded, and my stomach turned over. Mama, I wanted to cry. I’ll be your mama and you’ll be my son. I resisted. “You can call me Mom, or Mama. You can also call me Betsy, if you’d rather. Whatever feels okay for you.” 12He stood there a minute. “What’s for dinner?” he asked. 13“Burgers.” 14“Swect,” he said as he walked out of the room. 15At our wedding a few months later, Tom and I said our vows (誓言) to one another. Then Max was invited to stand beside us and I made vows to him. I promised to step into the shoes his mother had been forced to leave behind, to help him remember her, and to be the best mother I could be. 16After the wedding, for the next few days, Max tried out a new title for me. “Can we go bowling?” he’d ask, and then follow the question by mouthing the word mom. Or, “Can we go to the store?” And the mouthed word, mom. Mom was always silent. It seemed he was trying it on, seeing how it felt in his mouth. 17Weeks later as I drove him home from school, Max suddenly said, “I notice I don’t call you Mom.” 18Oof. Who threw that rock at my chest? I breathed to calm my voice. “I noticed that.” 19“When I say Betsy, I mean Mom.” 20“Thanks,” I said. “That’s nice to know.” 21He looked out the window. “Moms die, you know. I think it’s maybe safer if you’re just Betsy.” 22I willed tears away, not wanting to overwhelm him. He had enough to carry. “Thanks, Bud. I appreciate you telling me.” 23“Hey, Betsy?” 24“Yeah,” I said, delighted with the new sound of my old name. 25“What’s for dinner?” he asked. 36.

To help express the two speakers’ emotions directly. D. To make the passage shorter and easier to understand. （六） （2025年长宁一模） We often picture today’s teens as social-media addicts. They stare at their phones 24/7 and lash out when they can’t have their WeChat fix. But the truth is more complicated: While they depend on social media to keep up with friends, it does have a tendency to make them feel helpless under the pressure, and they know it. When I spoke to four students at Notre Dame High School in Sherman Oaks, Calif., as part of my nation-wide teen listening tour, they told me they make conscious choices about who they share things with on social media, how they manage their accounts and how they handle their own burnout. While teens generally acknowledge that social media helps them keep up with their friends, around 45% of them say they feel troubled by the drama they often encounter, according to Pew Research Center. Roughly four in 10 teenagers say they feel pressure to post only things that show them in a positive light or that generate a lot of comments or likes. Many teens even take voluntary breaks from social media, according to a study conducted by the Associated Press and NORC Center for Public Affairs Research at the University of Chicago. It found that 60% who have taken breaks have taken three or more, and 23% of teens who haven’t taken a break from social media have wanted to take one. About half of teens say their social-media breaks are typically a week or longer. The Sherman Oaks teens I spoke with say they too have taken breaks to avoid burnout. They all have friends who don’t even bother with social media, and they say they admire it. Still, the fear of missing out usually draws them back. Or, as one of the four students told me, “It kind of gets a little lonely after a while.” 36. The expression “lash out” (paragraph 1) can be best replaced by ________. A. take on B. break away C. pass off D. blow up 37. It is indicated in the passage that ________ is some teens’ intentional action on social media. A. selecting what to post B. letting others handle their posts C. showing their displeasure D. quitting to keep from feeling hurt 38. According to the passage, some teens take breaks from social media to ________. A. gather more materials for online drama B. escape the pressure of making comments C. avoid feeling left out by their peers D. relieve exhaustion from being disturbed 39. Which of the following is the best title of the passage? A. The downside of social media: Why teens get addicted B. The social media: More connectivity than isolation among teens C. The unseen consequences of social media: A teenage perspective D. The influence of social media: A comprehensive teenage analysis （七） （2025年徐汇一模） Caroline Robbins knew that the first day of school was very, very important. Why? Because that was the day when you chose where you would sit for the entire year. Caroline realized that in some classes this choice would be made for her. The teacher would place students in alphabetical (按字母顺序的) order, meaning she would have to sit in front of Zach Rodgers yet again. Zach was attracted by Caroline, and would distract her from her work by passing notes and telling jokes to impress her. In general, being a Robbins was pretty good, but having to sit in front of Zach was definitely a drawback. In her other classes, though, Caroline would be sure to choose just the right seat. Caroline liked to think of herself as one of the cool kids, but she also did well in school and liked learning. So, Caroline wanted to sit close to the cool kids, but not too close, or she would be more interested in talking than paying attention. She also knew that it was good to be friends with the smart kids, because they could help Caroline with her schoolwork. However, she didn’t want to sit too close to the smart kids. Unfortunately, at Caroline’s school, the smart kids and the cool kids were not the same kids. Caroline had all of this in mind as she walked through the school’s front door on the first day. She knew where her first class was, but she didn’t want to be the first one there. If you were the first one there, you didn’t have any control at all! Other people got to choose how close they sat to you, not the other way around. This simply would not do. So, she took her time walking down the hall, taking a minute to talk to her friend Alma, whom she hadn’t seen for the entire summer. At last, she walked through the door of her first class, and there it was, the perfect seat! Two seats away from Jasmine, the smartest girl in her entire grade, and just in front of Marc, who was very cool and totally cute. There was a new guy to the left, which could be a risk, but how bad could a new guy be? So Caroline started toward the seat, being careful not to rush, when Marc’s best friend Jason sat down in her chair! Sure, there were other seats, but no other perfect ones. Saddened but not discouraged, Caroline sat down in the second-best seat and immediately started planning for lunchtime, when she was determined to get the best seat in the cafeteria. 36. As used in paragraph 1, the word “drawback” most nearly means “_________”. A. disadvantage B. benefit C. virtue D. withdrawal 37. What can be inferred from paragraph 2? A. Caroline was often seen as a cool kid, not a smart kid. B. Caroline wanted to be the only smart kid in her school. C. If Caroline was seen as a smart kid, no one would think she was cool. D. Caroline’s school was unusual in that smart kids were also cool. 38. According to the passage, Caroline makes sure not to get to class too early by _________. A. taking time to fix her hair B. going to the wrong class C. waiting outside the school gate D. stopping to talk to her friend 39. How did Caroline feel about the new guy sitting next to her desired seat? A. She was thrilled to have a new friend to sit next to. B. She was concerned he might be a disturbance. C. She was relieved that he didn’t take the perfect seat. D. She was disappointed because he didn’t look cool. （八） （2025年杨浦一模） Dave McNee met Claudia Mandekic 14 years ago. When she told McNee how hard it could be to get students excited about math, her favourite discipline, he made a surprising suggestion: “Why not throw in something they enjoy, like sports?” The idea of mixing basketball and mathematics got its first shot in 2011, when the now colleagues — who had launched a tutoring non-profit — were invited to run a summer-school program for kids who’d failed Grade 9 math at Georges Secondary School. When the students showed up for their first day, they weren’t exactly excited. Over the next few hours, Mandekic and McNee gave the kids techniques to improve their shooting while also helping them calculate their field-goal percentage — which, in turn, taught them about fractions and decimal (分数和小数) points. At the end of the game, the winning team was determined based on which group had the highest total percentage and had done the most efficient math. “When the bell rang, they were so fixated on collecting their data and figuring out which team won that they didn’t leave,” says Mandekic. “I realized we might be onto something.” The classes, later named BallMatics, soon spread to other schools. “I was terrible at math,” says Douglas, who enrolled in a fast-track summer program. “But once I started BallMatics and realized the sport I loved was directly tied to math, it made me a lot better at it. Every time I played basketball, I was thinking about math.” Almost any math problem, McNee and Mandekic realized, can be taught on the court. Kids can learn how to navigate an X-Y grid to find their next shooting spot or absorb the basic principles of trigonometry based on the angle at which they release the ball. In 2019, McNec and Mandekic established a private high school called Uchenna Academy. At the school, kids with top basketball skills can study all subjects, train at their sport and work part-time helping out with the BallMatics afterschool programs. Douglas, now 20 and earning a degree in education believes the school’s commitment to academics is the key reason it’s been a winner. “If we didn’t do our work, we weren’t playing at the game,” he says, adding that coaches would bench kids who didn’t keep up in class. “At Uchenna, we were student athletes, not athlete students.” 36. The first two paragraphs are intended to tell the readers ______. A. the origin of BallMatics B. the challenges facing BallMatics C. the start of a lifelong friendship D. the dedication of the young teachers 37. What made Mandekic and McNee realize that they “might be onto something”? A. The students’ progress in their mathematic skills. B. The students’ changed attitude towards math. C. The data collected about the students’ goal percentage. D. The efficiency in determining the winning team. 38. What will happen to the kids who don’t do well in class according to Douglas? A. They will be forbidden to leave any training session. B. They will be obliged to earn a training degree first. C. They will have to attend classes at a private school. D. They will be banned from playing in the game. 39. The best title for the article is ______. A. The Basics of Math B. The Road to Success C. A Sports Principle D. A Numbers Game （九） （2025年静安一模） In a town near the Potomac River, George and Anne Allen, both 82, struggle to remain in their beloved three-story house and neighborhood. Mr. Allen has had trouble walking since he broke his backbone in a fall down the stairs, and he expects to lose his driver’s license when it comes up for renewal given his physical state. Mrs. Allen recently got her foot hurt getting out of bed. Neither can climb up to change the light or bend under the sink to fix a leak. Without outside help, stores and public locations mean unimaginable hikes to them. So the Allens have banded together with their neighbors, who are equally determined to avoid being forced from their homes by dependence. Along with more than 100 communities nationwide, their group is part of a movement to make neighborhoods comfortable places to grow old in. “We are totally dependent on ourselves,” Mr. Allen said. “But I want to live in a mixed community, not just with the elderly. And as long as we can do it here, that’s what we want.” Their group has been registered as a nonprofit corporation, is setting membership dues, and is lining up providers of transportation, home repair, companionship, security and other services to meet their needs at home for as long as possible. Urban planners say this movement, organized by residents instead of government agencies, could make “aging in place” safe and affordable for a majority of elderly people. Although not the cure- all for those with complicated medical needs, the approach addresses what experts say can be a premature decision by older people to give up their homes in response to relatively small problems. As these small problems mount, sometimes accompanied by pressure from adult children, the elderly homeowner is caught off guard. Remaining at home without sufficient help is frightening. “If people don’t feel so overpowered, they don’t have to jump at precipitous decisions. Actually practices like moving into nursing homes are hard to be reversed,” said an expert. For inspiration, “aging in place” groups now pay yearly dues — $580 for an individual in exchange for the security of knowing that carpenters, chefs, computer experts or home health helpers are one phone call away. 36. What is NOT mentioned as a problem the Allens meet with? A. Physical weakness due to the broken bone. B. Possible loss of driver’s license due to breaking traffic rules. C. Failure to handle certain fixing tasks due to limited mobility. D. Difficulty in traveling to public places alone due to physical condition. 37. Which of the following statements is TRUE? A. People like Allens gather to live in a special place for shared elderly caring. B. The government arranges necessary services for people like Allens. C. Senior people give up “aging in place” life mainly out of pressure from children. D. “Aging in place” people pay to have necessary service staff on call. 38. The underlined word precipitous in the passage is closest in meaning to ________. A. alternative B. fake C. rushed D. joint 39. Which of the following is probably the title of the passage? A. US grey band fights to stay at home B. Attention, US seniors are suffering C. At home vs Nursing home-a hard choice for US seniors D. US adult children, it’s time to care for your parents （十） （2025年金山一模） I was walking home when a well-dressed man politely stopped me. “Could you tell me which way to Bloor and…” He struggled to get the next word out with a pained look, but I knew better than to finish his sentence for him. “… Bathurst?” he said after several seconds of trying. When I answered, he told me that he didn’t actually need to know. He was practising stuttering (口吃) openly, he explained, hoping to become more confident doing so around strangers. “Are you doing that because it’s National Stuttering Awareness Day?” I asked with excitement, eager to connect with other stutterers. When he asked how I knew that, I said I grew up with a stutter. He nodded, asking hopefully: “So your stutter has magically disappeared?” I paused. I understood why he assumed this — I sounded quite fluent. But even as we spoke, my stutter had influenced my speech, and that’s why I’d misnamed International as National to avoid the tricky front sound that I continue to struggle with. Data shows four percent of all children stutter, while only one percent of them stutter into adulthood-a 75 percent drop. But are the supposed ex-stutters completely free of their stuttering past? Actually, though the severity of my stutter has decreased with age, it has shaped my identity and affected my life tremendously, informing the way that I speak, interact and move around in the world. Some define stutter as a disability because it is as constant and out of control as blindness or other disabilities. There’s no pill, no surgery, no way to get rid of it, no “recovering” from it. But there is recovering from the shame and self-hatred that result from it. Some researchers have begun to argue that treatment for stutter shouldn’t be centered around removing a person’s stutter, but rather on reducing one’s negative thoughts and behaviors surrounding it. As for me, I’d say that my stutter has not “magically disappeared” because I’ve simply found ways to conceal (隐藏) it. But I have a better therapy now-I will grow alongside it, an identity inseparable from the way that I speak. Thinking about this, I decided to tell the man, who was still looking at me hopefully: “______.” 36. The decent man stopped the author because he ______. A. lost his way and asked about the direction B. was very eager to connect with other stutterers C. wanted to be braver when talking to unfamiliar people D. was practising giving speeches fluently in open occasions 37. Why did the author misname the International as National in paragraph 2? A. Because he misremembered the name of this day. B. Because the National version is more familiar to people. C. Because it is quite difficult for him to make the sound “inter”. D. Because as a stutter, he can’t pronounce the word “international”. 38. What might be the author’s answer in the last paragraph? A. Yes. I have got rid of stutter by developing a more positive attitude towards life. B. No. There is no recovering from stutter and I have simply found ways to conceal it. C. Yes. As I grow older, I rarely stutter now and people around me don’t know I stuttered. D. No. I will always live with stutter because it is also apart of me and I gladly accept that. 39. What’s the best title for this passage? A. My stutter, myself B. New definitions for stutter C. Stutter, a life-changing disability D. A special encounter with stutterers （十一） （2025年奉贤一模） In the year 1669, a German trader named Hennig Brand set out on an unusual quest that would lead to one of the most fascinating discoveries in the history of chemistry. Brand, driven by the age-old alchemists’ dream of magically turning base metals into gold, conducted a series of experiments that would forever change our understanding of elements. Brand’s journey began with an assumption that the key to creating “gold” resided in human urine (尿液). This seemingly strange idea was fueled by the observation that urine shared a similar yellow color with the precious metal. Acting on this belief, Brand collected an astonishing 5000 liters of urine and allowed it to stand and ferment (发酵). After weeks of fermentation, Brand boiled the urine down to a thick, sticky substance. He then mixed this paste with sand and heated the mixture to an extreme temperature. What emerged from this process was a substance that was entirely new to the world of science — a white solid that shone with a soft light in the dark. Brand named this glowing material “phosphorus,” originating from the Greek words for “light bearer.” The discovery of phosphorus was not just a scientific breakthrough; it captured the imagination of the public and the scientific community alike. Its ability to give off light in the darkness was both fascinating and mysterious. The implications of Brand’s discovery were far-reaching. Phosphorus was not only a novelty but also a substance with practical applications. It would later become an essential component in the production of matches, fertilizers, and various chemicals. Hennig Brand’s accidental discovery of phosphorus in 1669 was more than just finding a new element; it marked the end of the era of the period of magic chemistry and the beginning of modern chemistry.

For Simon Spichak, it’s a lot, thanks to a hedgehog that fits in his hand. Mr. Spichak, a 29-year-old science writer who lives in Toronto, bought his new partner in May 2023 for $280 and named it Goober. He has spent an additional $200 on food, a wheel, bedding and toys, as well as $150 in their first year together to visit a veterinarian (兽医). Goober has improved Mr. Spichak’s life in small and big ways, providing him with entertaining material to post to his social media accounts and helping to introduce him to some of his neighbors when he takes Goober around his block, where they’re met with delighted curiosity. “There are lots of people walking by from the neighborhood who start conversations because of the hedgehog,” Mr. Spichak said. This is not an individual case. Ritesh Seth, a human resources specialist in Columbia, Md., bought a solid brass, Italian-made coffee pot for$400, and said it had helped him expand his network at his co-working space. “Other business enterprises and start-ups who work out of the office space have noticed my coffee pot and out of curiosity come over to chat,” Mr. Seth, 38, said. “Usually, after the polite introductions. we discuss what product or project we are working on, find common business challenges, refer potential prospects and sometimes talk about sports.” Millennials (born from 1981 to 1996) and Generation Z (born from 1997 to 2012) are more likely than older generations to make spending on nonessential purchases a priority, according to a study published last year by Intuit. The study suggested that this was because younger generations placed a high value on personal growth and mental happiness. While gym memberships or self-help books may be more obvious purchases for improving lives, less typical options, even unusual ones, can make a lasting difference by helping people find happiness and connect to new communities. 36. What did Goober bring to Simon? A. It inspired him to pursue a science writing career. B. It helped him save money on veterinary expenses. C. It enriched his social media and neighborhood connections. D. It gained him fame by achieving recognition in the community. 37. With the coffee pot as ______, Ritesh expanded his network at his co-working space. A. a conversation starter B. a marketable product C. a pilot project D. a technical challenge 38. Compared with older generations, Millennials and Generation Z ______. A. spend more time on gym memberships and self-help books B. prefer to spend on non-essential items for self-growth and emotional joy C. favour financial security over personal development and mental happiness D. show less interest in connecting to new communities through unique items 39. Which of the following is the best title for this passage? A. Business-Generation Tools B. Career-Pursuit Choices C. Community-Service Pets D. Life-Improvement Purchases （十三） （2025年松江一模） After a long journey, I finally got to the hospital. Lying on the examination table while facing the painfully bright ceiling lights, I fidgeted, desperately trying to ignore the upsetting part of the situation. I attempted to focus on staying warm in the cold room, but what happened days ago kept running through my head — the intense pain, the overpowering fear, and the panicky steps in the Emergency Room. I was told I had broken a backbone. I now smiled recalling the innocence of my response: “Do I have to wear a support when I play football? ” I had waited for three months to find out whether I could play football again, but the thought of waiting another five minutes seemed impossible. Then Dr. Pittinger entered. He was friendly, but noticeably uncomfortable, almost sad. He told me that I would never be able to play football again. The realization sank in immediately. I wasn’t surprised, or at least I shouldn’t have been, but that didn’t make the order any easier. I refused to accept the idea, and for months I continued to exercise. I worked out from five to six every morning. Though I was ashamed to wear the support, I wore it devotedly, with some false hope that the more I wore it, the quicker and better it would heal the backbone. I was determined to play again. The fact is that, just as the doctor ordered, I never played another quarter of football. After nights of coming home from exercising, barely able to walk, I finally gave in. For a while, giving up felt like an admitting of defeat rather than the acceptance of a truth that should have been painfully obvious, but over time, I realized like most difficult decisions I have made and will have to make, life would go on. Rather than stick to the undeniably unattainable, I understood though this particular option was no longer open to me, I had countless others to make in its place. And by the way, I’m a five-star football coach now. 36. The word “fidgeted” in paragraph 1 most probably means “________”. A. felt terribly bored. B. lay quietly and calmly. C. was extremely grateful. D. made slight, anxious movements. 37. The underlined sentence in paragraph 2 indicates the writer’s ________. A. slow but steady recovery. B. eagerness to get the doctor’s answer. C. frequent visits to the hospital. D. emotional change after the accident. 38. What did the writer give up in the end? A. Trusting the doctor. B. Exercising in the gym. C. Focusing on the impossible. D. Putting everything in place. 39. What’s the message mainly conveyed in the passage? A. Ignoring failures is the key to a fulfilling life. B. There are two ways for everyone to live his life. C. Some people in the world live with physical pain. D. We should accept life as it is and live to the fullest. （十四） （2025年青浦一模） My doctor took me for a walk around the farm where she lived. I was physically and emotionally exhausted and discouraged by anxiety and depression. The place was full of life. There were insects, horses, rabbits, and a cat. She told me to focus on my body in the environment. When I was ill, I tended to withdraw into my mind and disconnect from the here and now. So, when I met a horse named Fira, I expected nothing. As I got closer to Fira, she rubbed her nose into my chest, putting a gentle pressure over my heart. Something happened inside me: I felt as if I had reached a wellspring of past hurts, fears and failings. I began to melt emotionally. I patted Fira’s nose and breathed in her smell. I found I didn’t have to concentrate on feeling better; Fira helped me feel loved and safe. I worked with Fira often, learning basic communication and leading methods to work together with her. Initially, I wasn’t sure exactly what one would do with a horse except riding it. But I knew that Fira had touched me in an uncommon way and had made me feel better. She connected with me by responding to my emotional state and reflecting it back to me in an open, affectionate way. In my meetings with Fira, I learned to live in the present, to focus on what was happening this day, in this moment, in this place. I learned to forget the past, with all its hurt. I learned to forget the future, which hasn’t happened yet. With Fira by my side, I saw into a life in which trust comes first, and compassion follows. I found a deep peace in leading her along a path, by using my own power of intention to indicate whether to start, stop, turn left or turn right. I felt an inner quiet and even joy. My work with this horse was part of a journey out of a very dark night in my soul. 36. Why did the writer expect nothing when meeting Fira? A. Because Fira’s reaction led the writer to feel hurt and fearful. B. Because the writer’s mentality kept her from connecting with others. C. Because the writer knew nothing about Fira and didn’t know what to expect. D. Because the animals on the farm distracted the writer from focusing on her body. 37. Which of the following statements about Fira is TRUE? A. Fira was the writer’s pet, living on her farm. B. Fira made the writer feel better by giving her rides. C. Fira got the writer to concentrate on her hurt feelings. D. Fira responded affectionately to the writer’s approach. 38. In the last paragraph, the writer shares her experience with Fira to imply that _______. A. animals can follow people’s instructions, thus gaining their trust B. interacting with animals can be a therapy to psychological distress C. meetings with animals can help people step out of their comfort zone D. people can access temporary peace and joy when working with animals 39. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage? A. My Doctor’s Farm: A Place of Healing B. Fira: The Horse that Saved My Life C. From Darkness to Light: My Journey with Fira D.

Under these headings, there are 22 categories including online journalism, newspaper reporting, fiction, history, music, drama, poetry, photography and more. Recipients can be a news organization, an individual or a group of people. Each of the first 21 winners receives a $15,000 cash prize and a certificate. The twenty-second prize, however, is the Public Service Prize, which is always given to a news agency. Instead of cash, the news organization receives the Pulitzer Gold Medal. The name of the year’s winner is on one side of the coin and the year is on the other. All winners are honored and awarded their prizes at an annual lunch party. The event takes place at Columbia University, which was originally tasked with administering the award, and usually occurs in May. If it hadn’t been for a Hungarian-American named Joseph Pulitzer, the awards would never have come into existence. Pulitzer was born into a wealthy family in Hungary in 1847. He made his way to America and built a career in journalism. He developed a reputation as an ambitious and energetic young journalist. By 1872 Pulitzer had become a publisher, and six years later he owned a newspaper company. In 1883 he purchased yet another newspaper. He became known as someone who was not afraid to take a public stand against corruption (腐败). After a successful career in journalism, seven years before his death, Pulitzer wrote a will, leaving $2,000,000 to Columbia University. The money was to establish a school of journalism at Columbia and a set of awards. Pulitzer’s desire was to raise the standards of journalism. He hoped the prize would act as a stimulus for journalists to work for excellence — then and into the future. Faithfully following Pulitzer’s instructions, Columbia University awarded the very first Pulitzer Prizes in 1917. Today these awards are considered some of the most distinguished prizes in America. 36. What can be known about the Pulitzers? A.Their recipients all get cash prizes. B. There are 21 winners each year. C. They are awarded worldwide. D. They go beyond journalism. 37. It can be inferred from the passage that Joseph Pulitzer _____.

A. facilitate better journalism B. diversify ways of access to journalism C. support Columbia University D. stimulate people to become journalists 39. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A. Pulitzer Prizes: Joseph Pulitzer’s Lifetime Ambition B. Pulitzer Prizes: Some of America’s Greatest Honors C.

Not after relocating my family from drought and wildfire California to the “climate shelter” of Asheville, N.C. But less than two months after we moved into our delightfully wooded, mild-weather community, we were forced to leave. On September 26, the hurricane made its way inland from the Gulf of Mexico through Florida, Georgia and South Carolina. Along its path, it tore apart community after community. And then it hit western Appalachia. At 2,000 feet above sea level and 300 miles from the coast, Asheville is a place where people went to get away from destructive hurricanes. That night, I couldn’t sleep. Trees crashed down around my home as emergency alerts sounded on my phone. Power lines went down. Roads flooded. Despite being within a mile of the French Broad River, we were not told to evacuate(撤离) ahead of the storm. In the morning, after it seemed the worst had passed, a large pine tree crashed onto the roof directly above my young son’s bedroom while he was playing with LEGOs. He was thankfully unharmed, but it drove home the severity of what was happening around us. My young daughter held me tightly saying over and over, “I’m scared.” It was hard to get information about what was going on across Asheville. Within hours, we lost power, Internet and even cell service. A neighbor told me we could get information on the radio, so I sat in my car to listen to the local radio station’s updates. That’s how I learned that the water wasn’t safe to drink. The treatment plant was under eight feet of water and the distribution pipes had washed away. When we heard it would take weeks or longer to restore basic services, I made plans for my family to leave town. We were lucky — we lived near the one highway that was open, and had a full tank of gas and a place to go. So on Sunday we left Asheville to stay with family on the Outer Banks. 36. The author moved to Asheville, N.C. to _______________. A. get closer to the Gulf of Mexico B. find a new job in South Carolina C. live near the French Broad River D. flee California’s drought and wildfire 37. What does the underlined sentence in the fourth paragraph mean? A. The family realized the pleasure of playing with LEGOs. B. The family decided to stay in the house despite the danger. C. The family felt alarmed at the sight of the tree crashing down. D. The family became more at ease about the situation at that time. 38. What can be inferred from paragragh 5? A. Timely access to information is important during a disaster. B. The treatment plant is supposed to be built deep underwater. C. People must depend on neighbors for survival in a disaster. D. Protecting water resources promotes a sense of community. 39. What is the best title of the passage? A. Consequences of a hurricane B. Measures against the disaster C. A new beginning in Asheville D.

Not after relocating my family from drought and wildfire California to the ‘climate shelter’ of Asheville, N.C.” 可知，作者搬到北卡罗来纳州的阿什维尔是为了逃离加州的干旱和野火。故选 D。 【37 题详解】 词句猜测题。根据前文 “In the morning, after it seemed the worst had passed, a large pine tree crashed onto the roof directly above my young son’s bedroom while he was playing with LEGOs. He was thankfully unharmed” 可知，在看似最糟糕的情况已经过去的时候，一棵大松树却砸在了儿子卧室上方的屋顶上，尽管儿子没受伤，但这件事让一家人清楚地意识到周围情况的严重性，感到惊恐不安。所以该句意思是这家人看到树倒下时感到惊恐。故选 C。 【38 题详解】 推理判断题。第五段主要讲述了因为飓风，作者所在的地方很快失去了电力、网络甚至手机信号，很难获取信息，后来通过听收音机才得知水不安全等重要信息。由此可以推断出在灾难期间及时获取信息是很重要的。故选 A。 【39 题详解】 主旨大意题。文章整体围绕作者原本想躲避灾害搬到阿什维尔，却又遭遇飓风，最终成为气候难民不得不再次离开的经历来展开叙述的，所以 “An account of a climate refugee（一个气候难民的叙述）” 作为标题最合适，能够概括文章主旨。故选 D。 （二） （2025年闵行一模） Back in her twenties, Linda Park was all about fashion. But she also started noticing something disturbing: the fashion industry was seriously hurting the environment. As she worked as a designer, she was shocked by the mountains of unsold clothes, fabrics that would hang around for decades, and the harmful dyes （染料） dumping into rivers. It hit her — if she was going to make a real difference, she'd have to roll up her sleeves（袖子） and tackle fashion's waste problem herself. Every year, millions of tons of clothing are thrown aside, with almost half of it ending up in landfills. And here's the kicker: most of it barely gets worn before it's thrown away, thanks to the endless cycle of fast fashion. Park thought, “I can do better than this.” So, she pictured a new kind of store —— one that wouldn't just reduce waste but would also inspire people to make smarter, greener choices. In September 2020, Park launched GreenThread — her sustainable fashion dream came true. The store's special touch? It sold upcycled clothing and fabric made from waste materials. Customers could bring in their old clothes and trade them for store credit, giving the items a second life. GreenThread's clothes were a mix of repurposed fabrics and eco-friendly dyes, proving that sustainable fashion can be stylish. Now, GreenThread's clothes aren't exactly cheap. A T-shirt might cost $25, while the same one at a regular store could be $15. But here's the deal: people love the quality, the durability, and the fact that they' re supporting an eco-friendly brand. It feels good to be part of the solution, right? When the pandemic（疫情） hit, it wasn't smooth sailing. But Park wasn't ready to call it quits. She switched to an online model and started offering virtual style consultations. The response was awesome, and GreenThread's fan base grew as more people realized the benefits of shopping sustainably. Park says the mission of her store goes beyond just selling clothes. “Each piece has its own story,” she smiles. “Customers can see how many lives a fabric has lived. It's not just fashion; it's a movement.” 36.________ inspired Linda Park to start her business. A. A desire to promote eco-friendly dyes B. The high demand for recycled clothing C. The waste generated by the fashion industry D. Her background in sustainable design 37. The phrase “the kicker” in paragraph 2 most likely means________. A. the person kicking the football B. something unexpected and surprising C. the most exciting part of the situation D. the reason why fast fashion is successful 38. Which of the following best describes Park's attitude towards her business? A. Optimistic and practical. B. Carefree and relaxed. C. Focused and cautious. D. Creative and determined. 39. According to the last paragraph, what do customers appreciate about GreenThread? A. The unique story and mission behind each piece. B. The emotional satisfaction of owning a unique piece. C. The chance to see how many times the fabric has been reused. D. The ability to trace the environmental impact of the material. 【答案】36.C 37. B 38. D 39. A 【导读】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了 Linda Park 在二十多岁从事时尚设计工作时，注意到时尚产业对环境造成严重破坏，于是在 2020 年 9 月创立了 GreenThread 商店，售卖由废料制成的升级再造服装和面料，鼓励人们做出更环保的选择。尽管面临疫情等挑战，她没有放弃，而是通过线上模式等方式让商店发展，顾客们也欣赏该品牌每件商品背后的独特故事和使命。 【解析】 【36 题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中 “But she also started noticing something disturbing: the fashion industry was seriously hurting the environment. As she worked as a designer, she was shocked by the mountains of unsold clothes, fabrics that would hang around for decades, and the harmful dyes （染料） dumping into rivers. It hit her — if she was going to make a real difference, she'd have to roll up her sleeves（袖子） and tackle fashion's waste problem herself.” 可知，Linda Park 看到时尚产业产生大量废料，如堆积如山的未售出衣服、几十年都用不完的面料以及有害染料排入河流等，这让她决定自己解决时尚产业的废料问题，从而创立了自己的事业。所以是时尚产业产生的废料激发了她创业，答案选 C。 【37 题详解】 词义猜测题。前文提到 “Every year, millions of tons of clothing are thrown aside, with almost half of it ending up in landfills.”（每年数百万吨衣服被丢弃，近一半最终进入垃圾填埋场），接着说 “the kicker: most of it barely gets worn before it's thrown away, thanks to the endless cycle of fast fashion.”，大多数衣服在几乎没怎么穿就被扔掉，这一情况在 “每年大量衣服被丢弃” 的基础上，是更令人意想不到和惊讶的。所以 “the kicker” 意思是意想不到且令人惊讶的事，答案选 B。 【38 题详解】 推理判断题。Park 创立了 GreenThread 这样独特的可持续时尚商店，通过售卖升级再造服装和让顾客以旧换新等方式，体现了她的创新性。当疫情来袭，她没有放弃，而是转变为线上模式并提供虚拟风格咨询，这表明她的决心。所以 Park 对自己事业的态度是有创造性且坚定的，答案选 D。 【39 题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段 “Park says the mission of her store goes beyond just selling clothes. ‘Each piece has its own story,’ she smiles. ‘Customers can see how many lives a fabric has lived. It's not just fashion; it's a movement.’” 可知，顾客欣赏 GreenThread 每件商品背后都有独特的故事以及品牌所承载的使命，答案选 A。 （三） （2025年普陀区一模） Summerhill This is a story of a modern school—Summerhill. Summerhill began as an experimental school. It is no longer such;it is now a demonstration school, for it demonstrates that freedom works. When my wife and I began the school, we had one main philosophy:to make the school fit the child— instead of making the child fit the school. Obviously, a school that makes active children sit at desks studying mostly useless subjects is a bad school. It is a good school only for those who believe in such a school, for those uncreative citizens who want obedient, uncreative children who will fit into a civilization whose standard of success is fame and fortune. I had taught in ordinary schools for many years. I knew the other way well. I knew it was all wrong. It was wrong because it was based on an adult conception of what a child should be and of how a child should learn. Well, we set out to make a school in which we should allow children freedom to be themselves. In order to do this, we had to abandon all disciplines, all directions, all suggestions, all moral training, and all religious instructions. We have been called brave, but it did not require courage. All it required was what we had—a complete belief in the child as a good, not an evil, being. My view is that a child is born wise and realistic. If left to himself without adult suggestions of any kind, he will develop as far as he is capable of developing. Logically, Summerhill is a place in which people who have the inherent ability and wish to be scholars will be scholars;while those who are only fit to sweep the streets will sweep the streets. But we have not produced a street cleaner so far. Nor do I write this snobbishly(势利的), for I would rather see a school produce a happy street cleaner than an anxious scholar. 36. According to the passage, what was the primary idea behind starting Summerhill School? A. To ensure students become happy scholars. B. To focus on moral and religious instructions. C. To make the school adapt to the needs of each child. D. To make children suitable for the existing social system. 37. The founders of Summerhill School believe that children A. need strict discipline to be successful B. are naturally wise and realistic C. should focus primarily on religious education D. are more creative with adult guidance 38. What is the main idea of the passage? A. Summerhill School uses a unique educational approach centered on giving children freedom. B. Summerhill School believes every child has the potential to become a successful scholar. C. Summerhill School rejects strict discipline and focuses on a child-centered environment. D. Summerhill School challenges the traditional model by emphasizing children's independence. 39. Why does the author mention preferring a "happy street cleaner"to an "anxious scholar"? A. To encourage students to avoid becoming worried scholars. B. To emphasize that street cleaners are happier than scholars. C. To highlight the importance of a stress-free and enriching life. D. To demonstrate that Summerhill cares less about academic achievements. 【答案】 36-39 CBAC 【导读】本文主要介绍了 Summerhill 学校。该校从一所实验学校发展为示范学校，其核心理念是让学校适应孩子，而非让孩子适应学校。学校摒弃传统的纪律、指导等，坚信孩子天生善良、明智且现实，给予孩子充分自由，旨在培养快乐的个体，而非仅仅追求学术成就。 【解析】 【36 题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段 “When my wife and I began the school, we had one main philosophy: to make the school fit the child— instead of making the child fit the school.” 可知，创办 Summerhill 学校的主要理念是让学校适应每个孩子的需求，而不是让孩子适应学校，C 选项正确。A 选项 “确保学生成为快乐的学者” 并非创办学校的首要理念；B 选项 “专注于道德和宗教教育” 与原文中学校摒弃所有道德和宗教教育相悖；D 选项 “让孩子适应现有的社会体系” 也不符合创办学校的理念，原文强调让学校适应孩子，而不是让孩子去适应社会体系。所以答案是 C。 【37 题详解】 细节理解题。由第五段 “My view is that a child is born wise and realistic.” 可知，Summerhill 学校的创办者认为孩子天生是明智且现实的，B 选项正确。A 选项 “需要严格的纪律才能成功” 与原文中学校摒弃所有纪律不符；C 选项 “应该主要专注于宗教教育”，原文提到学校摒弃宗教教育；D 选项 “在成人指导下更有创造力”，原文强调让孩子在没有成人建议的情况下自由发展。所以答案是 B。 【38 题详解】 主旨大意题。文章开篇介绍 Summerhill 学校的创办理念是让学校适应孩子，接着阐述学校摒弃传统的纪律等，给予孩子自由，以让孩子自由发展。A 选项 “Summerhill 学校采用一种以给予孩子自由为核心的独特教育方法” 全面概括了文章主旨；B 选项 “Summerhill 学校认为每个孩子都有成为成功学者的潜力” 过于片面，文章强调孩子可以自由发展成适合自己的样子，不只是成为学者；C 选项 “Summerhill 学校拒绝严格纪律，专注于以孩子为中心的环境”，没有突出给予孩子自由这一核心要点；D 选项 “Summerhill 学校通过强调孩子的独立性来挑战传统模式”，文章重点强调的是给予孩子自由，而非单纯强调独立性。所以答案是 A。 【39 题详解】 推理判断题。作者提到宁愿看到学校培养出快乐的街道清洁工，也不愿看到培养出焦虑的学者，是为了突出快乐、无压力且充实的生活的重要性，而不是单纯鼓励学生避免成为焦虑的学者，A 选项不准确；B 选项 “强调街道清洁工比学者更快乐” 过于表面，不是作者的意图；D 选项 “表明 Summerhill 不太关心学术成就” 也不准确，学校并非不关心学术成就，而是更注重孩子的自由发展和快乐生活。所以答案是 C。 （四） （2025年嘉定一模） It’s strange how a single moment can shift everything you think you know. One winter morning all it took was a little stubbornness (固执) and a lot of snow for me to learn a lesson I’d remember for years, This is the story of how I wrecked my dad’s car. It was early January, and I was a senior in high school. It was a regular Tuesday morning, and like every other day, I grabbed my jacket, picked up the keys from the counter, and was about to head out when my dad stopped me. “Whoa, there,” he said, glancing at the snow piling up outside. “The roads are covered in snow. You’re taking the bus today.” I argued, pointing out that school was about to start, and I didn’t want to wait for the bus. My dad, known for his stubbornness, wouldn’t give in. After a few heated words, he sighed and handed me the keys. “Fine, but be careful,” he said. I slid into the car, a bit triumphant. The roads looked fine, I thought, barely an inch of snow, I started the car and pulled out of the driveway, feeling a surge of independence. But as I made my way through the neighborhood, the slippery roads tested my confidence. One sharp turn later, and f was in trouble — the car started to skid. I tried to slow down, but it was too late. The car slid right into a snowbank. I spent a long frustrating minute trying to get it out. pressing down on the engine, trying every trick I knew. Eventually, I realized I was going to have to call my dad. When he arrived, his face was a mix of anger and disappointment. We pulled the car out with some help, but the damage was done.

I was sorting through a box of old photographs. 2“Who’s that?” he asked. 3“That was my grandfather, the one who died a few months ago.” 4“Hmm. Too bad he had to die.” 5Just as I was about to put the last of the pictures in the box, Max pressed his finger to a face. “And who will this be to me?” 6Beneath his finger I could see the edges of my own face. I was suddenly flooded with a joy which I had no name. This son of the man I loved was becoming my son. We’d have family Christmas cards and school art stuck to the fridge. All these things I’d never allowed myself to want. Now I was becoming a mother. 7I should have known how to say just the right, wise, magical thing. But I didn’t. “I’ll be your second mom,” I said. 8“Oh.” 9“I’m sorry that your first mom died. I liked her.” 10“What should I call you?” he asked. 11My heart pounded, and my stomach turned over. Mama, I wanted to cry. I’ll be your mama and you’ll be my son. I resisted. “You can call me Mom, or Mama. You can also call me Betsy, if you’d rather. Whatever feels okay for you.” 12He stood there a minute. “What’s for dinner?” he asked. 13“Burgers.” 14“Swect,” he said as he walked out of the room. 15At our wedding a few months later, Tom and I said our vows (誓言) to one another. Then Max was invited to stand beside us and I made vows to him. I promised to step into the shoes his mother had been forced to leave behind, to help him remember her, and to be the best mother I could be. 16After the wedding, for the next few days, Max tried out a new title for me. “Can we go bowling?” he’d ask, and then follow the question by mouthing the word mom. Or, “Can we go to the store?” And the mouthed word, mom. Mom was always silent. It seemed he was trying it on, seeing how it felt in his mouth. 17Weeks later as I drove him home from school, Max suddenly said, “I notice I don’t call you Mom.” 18Oof. Who threw that rock at my chest? I breathed to calm my voice. “I noticed that.” 19“When I say Betsy, I mean Mom.” 20“Thanks,” I said. “That’s nice to know.” 21He looked out the window. “Moms die, you know. I think it’s maybe safer if you’re just Betsy.” 22I willed tears away, not wanting to overwhelm him. He had enough to carry. “Thanks, Bud. I appreciate you telling me.” 23“Hey, Betsy?” 24“Yeah,” I said, delighted with the new sound of my old name. 25“What’s for dinner?” he asked. 36. When Betty said “I’ll be your second mom,” (paragraph 7), she ______. A. thought her role was significant to Max B. wished Max could let go of the sad memories C. was looking forward to becoming Max’s mother D. suggested that she was legally responsible for Max 37. According to Max, why did he call Betsy “Betsy” instead of Mom? A. He wants to tell Betsy she is his best friend. B. He still feels shy to address Betsy as Mom. C. He doesn’t want to forget his dead mother. D. He hopes Betsy could always be with him. 38. How does Betsy most probably feel when Max mentions dinner at the end of the passage? A. Confused about Max’s favourite food. B. Happy to lead a regular family life. C. Relieved to have a simple conversation. D. Annoyed with Max’s constant questioning. 39. Why does the author develop the passage with short dialogues? A. To reveal the tension between Max and Betsy. B. To show that Max is avoiding deep conversations. C. To help express the two speakers’ emotions directly. D. To make the passage shorter and easier to understand. 【答案】36. C 37. D 38. B 39. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了Betty在与Tom结婚前，对融入Tom的儿子Max的生活充满期待，想成为他的“第二位母亲”。婚后Max尝试称呼Betty为“Mom”，但最终还是称她“Betsy”，因为他希望Betty能一直陪伴自己。 【36题详解】 推理判断题。根据第六段中“I was suddenly flooded with a joy which I had no name. This son of the man I loved was becoming my son. We’d have family Christmas cards and school art stuck to the fridge. All these things I’d never allowed myself to want. Now I was becoming a mother. (我突然感到一种无法名状的喜悦。我爱的人的儿子正在成为我的儿子。我们会把家庭圣诞卡和学校的艺术品贴在冰箱上。所有这些我从未允许自己想要的东西。现在我要做母亲了)”可知，Betty意识到自己正在成为一个母亲，她非常喜悦，对未来美好的家庭生活充满向往。由此可知，在说这句话时，她期待着成为Max的母亲。故选C项。 【37题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二十一段“He looked out the window. “Moms die, you know. I think it’s maybe safer if you’re just Betsy.” (他向窗外望去。“妈妈会死的，你知道的。我觉得你还是叫Betsy比较安全。”)”可知，Max经历了母亲的离世，对于称呼Betsy为“Mom (妈妈)”存在一定的心理障碍，很害怕再次经历失去母亲的痛苦。因此，他用“Betsy”这个称呼，是希望Betsy能够一直陪伴着他，而不是像母亲这个身份一样可能会突然消失。故选D项。 【38题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后三段““Hey, Betsy?” (“嘿，Betsy？”)”、““Yeah,” I said, delighted with the new sound of my old name. (“嗯，”我说，为自己旧名字的新发音感到高兴)”和““What’s for dinner?” he asked. (“晚饭吃什么？”他问)”可知，Max正在和Betsy以新的方式相处，把她当作自己的亲人，询问晚餐的问题虽然简单，但这是日常家庭生活的常态。这表明Betty在过正常的家庭生活，成为Max生活中的一部分，她很可能感到幸福。故选B项。 【39题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文可知，文章通过简短的对话形式，直接展现了Betty和Max之间的情感交流。这种对话形式让读者能够直观地感受到两人的情感变化，尤其是Betty的内心波动和Max的微妙反应。故选C项。 （六） （2025年长宁一模） We often picture today’s teens as social-media addicts. They stare at their phones 24/7 and lash out when they can’t have their WeChat fix. But the truth is more complicated: While they depend on social media to keep up with friends, it does have a tendency to make them feel helpless under the pressure, and they know it. When I spoke to four students at Notre Dame High School in Sherman Oaks, Calif., as part of my nation-wide teen listening tour, they told me they make conscious choices about who they share things with on social media, how they manage their accounts and how they handle their own burnout. While teens generally acknowledge that social media helps them keep up with their friends, around 45% of them say they feel troubled by the drama they often encounter, according to Pew Research Center. Roughly four in 10 teenagers say they feel pressure to post only things that show them in a positive light or that generate a lot of comments or likes. Many teens even take voluntary breaks from social media, according to a study conducted by the Associated Press and NORC Center for Public Affairs Research at the University of Chicago. It found that 60% who have taken breaks have taken three or more, and 23% of teens who haven’t taken a break from social media have wanted to take one. About half of teens say their social-media breaks are typically a week or longer. The Sherman Oaks teens I spoke with say they too have taken breaks to avoid burnout. They all have friends who don’t even bother with social media, and they say they admire it. Still, the fear of missing out usually draws them back. Or, as one of the four students told me, “It kind of gets a little lonely after a while.” 36. The expression “lash out” (paragraph 1) can be best replaced by ________. A. take on B. break away C. pass off D. blow up 37. It is indicated in the passage that ________ is some teens’ intentional action on social media. A. selecting what to post B. letting others handle their posts C. showing their displeasure D. quitting to keep from feeling hurt 38. According to the passage, some teens take breaks from social media to ________. A. gather more materials for online drama B. escape the pressure of making comments C. avoid feeling left out by their peers D. relieve exhaustion from being disturbed 39. Which of the following is the best title of the passage? A. The downside of social media: Why teens get addicted B. The social media: More connectivity than isolation among teens C. The unseen consequences of social media: A teenage perspective D. The influence of social media: A comprehensive teenage analysis 【答案】36. D 37. A 38. D 39. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。本文主要讲述了在社交媒体上的一些行为对于青少年的影响。 【36题详解】 词义猜测题。根据文章第一段“We often picture today’s teens as social-media addicts. They stare at their phones 24/7 (我们经常把今天的青少年描绘成社交媒体成瘾者。他们全天候盯着手机) ”以及“when they can’t have their WeChat fix lash out(当他们不能安装微信时)”可知，青少年经常使用手机，如果不能安装微信，就会很生气，所以“lash out”的意思应该是“生气”。A项“take on(承担)”，B项“breakaway(脱离)”，C项“pass off(停止)”，D项“blow up(爆炸)”。结合选项可知，D项“blow up(爆炸，生气)”符合题意，故答案为D。 【37题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“they told me they make conscious choices about who they share things with on social media, how they manage their accounts and how they handle their own burnout. (他们告诉我，他们有意识地选择在社交媒体上与谁分享东西，如何管理自己的账户，以及如何处理自己的倦怠)”可知，在社交媒体上选择分享什么，是一些青少年的有意行为。故答案为A。 【38题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Roughly four in 10 teenagers say they feel pressure to post only things that show them in a positive light or that generate a lot of comments or likes.( 大约十分之四的青少年表示，他们感到压力，只能发布积极的东西，或者产生很多评论或喜欢的东西)”可知，一些青少年从社交媒体上休息一下为了从社交媒体中解脱出来。D项：relieve exhaustion from being disturbed(缓解被干扰而产生的疲劳)”符合题意，故答案为D。 【39题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“But the truth is more complicated: While they depend on social media to keep up with friends, it does have a tendency to make them feel helpless under the pressure, and they know it.(但事实要复杂得多：虽然他们依靠社交媒体与朋友保持联系，但这确实会让他们在压力下感到无助，他们也知道这一点)”以及大意可知，本文主要讲述了在社交媒体上的一些行为对于青少年的影响。结合选项可知，C项：The unseen consequences of social media: A teenage perspective“社交媒体的隐性后果：青少年的视角”符合题意，故答案为C。 （七） （2025年徐汇一模） Caroline Robbins knew that the first day of school was very, very important. Why? Because that was the day when you chose where you would sit for the entire year. Caroline realized that in some classes this choice would be made for her. The teacher would place students in alphabetical (按字母顺序的) order, meaning she would have to sit in front of Zach Rodgers yet again. Zach was attracted by Caroline, and would distract her from her work by passing notes and telling jokes to impress her. In general, being a Robbins was pretty good, but having to sit in front of Zach was definitely a drawback. In her other classes, though, Caroline would be sure to choose just the right seat. Caroline liked to think of herself as one of the cool kids, but she also did well in school and liked learning. So, Caroline wanted to sit close to the cool kids, but not too close, or she would be more interested in talking than paying attention. She also knew that it was good to be friends with the smart kids, because they could help Caroline with her schoolwork. However, she didn’t want to sit too close to the smart kids. Unfortunately, at Caroline’s school, the smart kids and the cool kids were not the same kids. Caroline had all of this in mind as she walked through the school’s front door on the first day. She knew where her first class was, but she didn’t want to be the first one there. If you were the first one there, you didn’t have any control at all! Other people got to choose how close they sat to you, not the other way around. This simply would not do. So, she took her time walking down the hall, taking a minute to talk to her friend Alma, whom she hadn’t seen for the entire summer. At last, she walked through the door of her first class, and there it was, the perfect seat! Two seats away from Jasmine, the smartest girl in her entire grade, and just in front of Marc, who was very cool and totally cute. There was a new guy to the left, which could be a risk, but how bad could a new guy be? So Caroline started toward the seat, being careful not to rush, when Marc’s best friend Jason sat down in her chair! Sure, there were other seats, but no other perfect ones. Saddened but not discouraged, Caroline sat down in the second-best seat and immediately started planning for lunchtime, when she was determined to get the best seat in the cafeteria. 36. As used in paragraph 1, the word “drawback” most nearly means “_________”. A. disadvantage B. benefit C. virtue D. withdrawal 37. What can be inferred from paragraph 2? A. Caroline was often seen as a cool kid, not a smart kid. B. Caroline wanted to be the only smart kid in her school. C. If Caroline was seen as a smart kid, no one would think she was cool. D. Caroline’s school was unusual in that smart kids were also cool. 38. According to the passage, Caroline makes sure not to get to class too early by _________. A. taking time to fix her hair B. going to the wrong class C. waiting outside the school gate D. stopping to talk to her friend 39. How did Caroline feel about the new guy sitting next to her desired seat? A. She was thrilled to have a new friend to sit next to. B. She was concerned he might be a disturbance. C. She was relieved that he didn’t take the perfect seat. D. She was disappointed because he didn’t look cool. 【答案】36. A 37. C 38. D 39. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Caroline在新学期选择座位的心路历程。 【36题详解】 词句猜测题。由文章第一段中“Zach was attracted by Caroline, and would distract her from her work by passing notes and telling jokes to impress her. In general, being a Robbins was pretty good, but having to sit in front of Zach was definitely a drawback. (Zach被Caroline吸引，会给她递纸条、讲笑话来吸引她的注意，从而分散她学习的注意力。总的来说，作为Robbins家族的一员很不错，但是不得不坐在Zach前面绝对是一个drawback)”可知，Zach分散她学习的注意力，坐在Zach前面绝对是一个不利条件或缺点。drawback在此处的意思是“不利条件，缺点”。A. disadvantage缺点，不利条件；B. benefit好处；C. virtue美德；D. withdrawal撤回。故选A。 【37题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第二段中“Unfortunately, at Caroline’s school, the smart kids and the cool kids were not the same kids. (不幸的是，在Caroline的学校里，聪明的孩子和酷的孩子并不是同一批人)”可知，在Caroline的学校，聪明的孩子和酷的孩子不是同一批孩子。由此可以推断出，如果Caroline被认为是聪明的孩子，那么就不会有人认为她是酷的孩子。故选C。 【38题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第三段中“She knew where her first class was, but she didn’t want to be the first one there. If you were the first one there, you didn’t have any control at all! Other people got to choose how close they sat to you, not the other way around. This simply would not do. So, she took her time walking down the hall, taking a minute to talk to her friend Alma, whom she hadn’t seen for the entire summer. (她知道自己的第一节课在哪里，但她不想第一个到那里。如果你是第一个到的，那你就完全没有控制权了！其他人可以选择离你多近坐下，而不是你来选择。这绝对不行。于是，她慢慢地走在走廊里，花了一分钟的时间和整个夏天都没见过的朋友Alma聊天)”可知，为了确保不会太早到教室，Caroline停下来和朋友聊天。故选D。 【39题详解】 推理判断题。由文章最后一段中“There was a new guy to the left, which could be a risk, but how bad could a new guy be? (左边有一个新来的男生，这可能有点冒险，但新来的男生能有多坏呢？)”可知，Caroline对坐在她想要的座位旁边的新来的男生感到担忧，认为他可能会是一个干扰。故选B。 （八） （2025年杨浦一模） Dave McNee met Claudia Mandekic 14 years ago. When she told McNee how hard it could be to get students excited about math, her favourite discipline, he made a surprising suggestion: “Why not throw in something they enjoy, like sports?” The idea of mixing basketball and mathematics got its first shot in 2011, when the now colleagues — who had launched a tutoring non-profit — were invited to run a summer-school program for kids who’d failed Grade 9 math at Georges Secondary School. When the students showed up for their first day, they weren’t exactly excited. Over the next few hours, Mandekic and McNee gave the kids techniques to improve their shooting while also helping them calculate their field-goal percentage — which, in turn, taught them about fractions and decimal (分数和小数) points. At the end of the game, the winning team was determined based on which group had the highest total percentage and had done the most efficient math. “When the bell rang, they were so fixated on collecting their data and figuring out which team won that they didn’t leave,” says Mandekic. “I realized we might be onto something.” The classes, later named BallMatics, soon spread to other schools. “I was terrible at math,” says Douglas, who enrolled in a fast-track summer program. “But once I started BallMatics and realized the sport I loved was directly tied to math, it made me a lot better at it. Every time I played basketball, I was thinking about math.” Almost any math problem, McNee and Mandekic realized, can be taught on the court. Kids can learn how to navigate an X-Y grid to find their next shooting spot or absorb the basic principles of trigonometry based on the angle at which they release the ball. In 2019, McNec and Mandekic established a private high school called Uchenna Academy. At the school, kids with top basketball skills can study all subjects, train at their sport and work part-time helping out with the BallMatics afterschool programs. Douglas, now 20 and earning a degree in education believes the school’s commitment to academics is the key reason it’s been a winner. “If we didn’t do our work, we weren’t playing at the game,” he says, adding that coaches would bench kids who didn’t keep up in class. “At Uchenna, we were student athletes, not athlete students.” 36. The first two paragraphs are intended to tell the readers ______. A. the origin of BallMatics B. the challenges facing BallMatics C. the start of a lifelong friendship D. the dedication of the young teachers 37. What made Mandekic and McNee realize that they “might be onto something”? A. The students’ progress in their mathematic skills. B. The students’ changed attitude towards math. C. The data collected about the students’ goal percentage. D. The efficiency in determining the winning team. 38. What will happen to the kids who don’t do well in class according to Douglas? A. They will be forbidden to leave any training session. B. They will be obliged to earn a training degree first. C. They will have to attend classes at a private school. D. They will be banned from playing in the game. 39. The best title for the article is ______. A. The Basics of Math B. The Road to Success C. A Sports Principle D. A Numbers Game 【答案】36. A 37. B 38. D 39. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章报道了Dave McNee和Claudia Mandekic将篮球和数学结合起来，创立了BallMatics课程，让学生在享受篮球的同时提高数学能力，并介绍了该课程的发展历程和影响。 【36题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“The idea of mixing basketball and mathematics got its first shot in 2011, when the now colleagues — who had launched a tutoring non-profit — were invited to run a summer-school program for kids who’d failed Grade 9 math at Georges Secondary School.(将篮球和数学相结合的想法在 2011 年首次得到尝试，当时这两位如今的同事——他们已经创办了一个非营利性的辅导机构——受邀为在乔治中学九年级数学不及格的孩子们举办一个暑期学校项目)”以及第二段中“When the students showed up for their first day, they weren’t exactly excited. Over the next few hours, Mandekic and McNee gave the kids techniques to improve their shooting while also helping them calculate their field-goal percentage — which, in turn, taught them about fractions and decimal (分数和小数) points. At the end of the game, the winning team was determined based on which group had the highest total percentage and had done the most efficient math.(当学生们第一天出现时，他们并不兴奋。在接下来的几个小时里，Mandekic和McNee给孩子们传授了提高投篮水平的技巧，同时也帮助他们计算了投篮命中率——这反过来又教会了他们分数和小数。游戏结束时，根据哪一组的总百分比最高并做了最有效的数学计算来决定获胜的队伍)”可知，前两段主要介绍了BallMatics课程的起源，它源于2011 年Mandekic和McNee的一次暑期教学尝试。故选A项。 【37题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“When the students showed up for their first day, they weren’t exactly excited.(当学生们第一天来的时候，他们并不怎么兴奋)”和“‘When the bell rang, they were so fixated on collecting their data and figuring out which team won that they didn’t leave,’ says Mandekic. ‘I realized we might be onto something.’(‘当铃声响起时，他们全神贯注于收集数据和计算哪支球队获胜，以至于他们都没有离开，’Mandekic说。‘我意识到我们可能找到了某种方法。’)”可知，是学生们对数学态度的改变让Mandekic和McNee意识到他们“可能找到了某种方法(might be onto something)”。故选B项。 【38题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“‘If we didn’t do our work, we weren’t playing at the game,’ he says, adding that coaches would bench kids who didn’t keep up in class.(‘如果我们不做作业，我们就不能参加比赛，’他说，并补充说教练会让跟不上课堂的孩子坐冷板凳)”可知，根据Douglas的说法，在课堂上表现不好的孩子将被禁止参加比赛。故选D项。 【39题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第一段“The idea of mixing basketball and mathematics got its first shot in 2011(将篮球和数学结合起来的想法在2011年首次得到尝试)”以及后文关于BallMatics课程的介绍可知，本文主要讲述了Dave McNee和Claudia Mandekic将篮球和数学结合起来，让学生在享受篮球的同时提高数学能力。D项“A Numbers Game (数字比赛)”既体现了文章中的数学元素，又暗示了篮球比赛中的计分和数据分析，与文章主题紧密相关，是最佳标题。故选D项。 （九） （2025年静安一模） In a town near the Potomac River, George and Anne Allen, both 82, struggle to remain in their beloved three-story house and neighborhood. Mr. Allen has had trouble walking since he broke his backbone in a fall down the stairs, and he expects to lose his driver’s license when it comes up for renewal given his physical state. Mrs. Allen recently got her foot hurt getting out of bed. Neither can climb up to change the light or bend under the sink to fix a leak. Without outside help, stores and public locations mean unimaginable hikes to them. So the Allens have banded together with their neighbors, who are equally determined to avoid being forced from their homes by dependence. Along with more than 100 communities nationwide, their group is part of a movement to make neighborhoods comfortable places to grow old in. “We are totally dependent on ourselves,” Mr. Allen said. “But I want to live in a mixed community, not just with the elderly. And as long as we can do it here, that’s what we want.” Their group has been registered as a nonprofit corporation, is setting membership dues, and is lining up providers of transportation, home repair, companionship, security and other services to meet their needs at home for as long as possible. Urban planners say this movement, organized by residents instead of government agencies, could make “aging in place” safe and affordable for a majority of elderly people. Although not the cure- all for those with complicated medical needs, the approach addresses what experts say can be a premature decision by older people to give up their homes in response to relatively small problems. As these small problems mount, sometimes accompanied by pressure from adult children, the elderly homeowner is caught off guard. Remaining at home without sufficient help is frightening. “If people don’t feel so overpowered, they don’t have to jump at precipitous decisions. Actually practices like moving into nursing homes are hard to be reversed,” said an expert. For inspiration, “aging in place” groups now pay yearly dues — $580 for an individual in exchange for the security of knowing that carpenters, chefs, computer experts or home health helpers are one phone call away. 36. What is NOT mentioned as a problem the Allens meet with? A. Physical weakness due to the broken bone. B. Possible loss of driver’s license due to breaking traffic rules. C. Failure to handle certain fixing tasks due to limited mobility. D. Difficulty in traveling to public places alone due to physical condition. 37. Which of the following statements is TRUE? A. People like Allens gather to live in a special place for shared elderly caring. B. The government arranges necessary services for people like Allens. C. Senior people give up “aging in place” life mainly out of pressure from children. D. “Aging in place” people pay to have necessary service staff on call. 38. The underlined word precipitous in the passage is closest in meaning to ________. A. alternative B. fake C. rushed D. joint 39. Which of the following is probably the title of the passage? A. US grey band fights to stay at home B. Attention, US seniors are suffering C. At home vs Nursing home-a hard choice for US seniors D. US adult children, it’s time to care for your parents 【答案】36.

(虽然这种方法并不能解决所有复杂医疗需求的问题，但它解决了专家所说的老年人因相对较小的问题而草率放弃家园的过早决定。随着这些小问题的不断累积，有时再加上成年子女的压力，老年房主会感到措手不及。没有足够的帮助而留在家里是令人害怕的)”可推测，如果遇到很多问题，老人会仓促作出决定。再根据所在句““If people don’t feel so overpowered, they don’t have to jump at precipitous decisions. Actually practices like moving into nursing homes are hard to be reversed,” said an expert.(“如果人们不感到那么无助，他们就不必______ 做出决定。实际上，像搬进养老院这样的做法是很难逆转的，”一位专家说)”可推测，划线单词和“仓促间”意思相符。选项C“rushed(匆忙)”与此意义相近。故选C。 【39题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“So the Allens have banded together with their neighbors, who are equally determined to avoid being forced from their homes by dependence. Along with more than 100 communities nationwide, their group is part of a movement to make neighborhoods comfortable places to grow old in.(因此，Allen夫妇与他们的邻居们团结起来，邻居们也同样决心避免因为依赖他人而被迫离开自己的家。与全国100多个社区一样，他们的团体也是致力于让社区成为老年人舒适生活的地方的运动的一部分)”以及第四段“Their group has been registered as a nonprofit corporation, is setting membership dues, and is lining up providers of transportation, home repair, companionship, security and other services to meet their needs at home for as long as possible. (他们的团体已经注册为非营利性公司，正在设定会员费，并正在组织交通、房屋维修、陪伴、安全和其他服务的提供者，以满足他们在家里尽可能长时间生活的需求。)”以及全文内容可知，文章主要描述了美国老年人为了能在自己家中养老，即“就地养老”（aging in place），所做的努力和斗争。他们通过自发组织，确保自己能在熟悉的社区环境中养老，而无需被迫搬离到养老院或其他护理机构。选项A“US grey band fights to stay at home”直接反映了文章的主旨，即美国老年人为了能在自己家中养老所做的斗争。其中，“grey band”形象地描述了老年人群体，而“fights to stay at home”则准确地概括了他们的行动和目标，适合作为文章标题。故选A。 （十） （2025年金山一模） I was walking home when a well-dressed man politely stopped me. “Could you tell me which way to Bloor and…” He struggled to get the next word out with a pained look, but I knew better than to finish his sentence for him. “… Bathurst?” he said after several seconds of trying. When I answered, he told me that he didn’t actually need to know. He was practising stuttering (口吃) openly, he explained, hoping to become more confident doing so around strangers. “Are you doing that because it’s National Stuttering Awareness Day?” I asked with excitement, eager to connect with other stutterers. When he asked how I knew that, I said I grew up with a stutter. He nodded, asking hopefully: “So your stutter has magically disappeared?” I paused. I understood why he assumed this — I sounded quite fluent. But even as we spoke, my stutter had influenced my speech, and that’s why I’d misnamed International as National to avoid the tricky front sound that I continue to struggle with. Data shows four percent of all children stutter, while only one percent of them stutter into adulthood-a 75 percent drop. But are the supposed ex-stutters completely free of their stuttering past? Actually, though the severity of my stutter has decreased with age, it has shaped my identity and affected my life tremendously, informing the way that I speak, interact and move around in the world. Some define stutter as a disability because it is as constant and out of control as blindness or other disabilities. There’s no pill, no surgery, no way to get rid of it, no “recovering” from it. But there is recovering from the shame and self-hatred that result from it. Some researchers have begun to argue that treatment for stutter shouldn’t be centered around removing a person’s stutter, but rather on reducing one’s negative thoughts and behaviors surrounding it. As for me, I’d say that my stutter has not “magically disappeared” because I’ve simply found ways to conceal (隐藏) it. But I have a better therapy now-I will grow alongside it, an identity inseparable from the way that I speak. Thinking about this, I decided to tell the man, who was still looking at me hopefully: “______.” 36. The decent man stopped the author because he ______. A. lost his way and asked about the direction B. was very eager to connect with other stutterers C. wanted to be braver when talking to unfamiliar people D. was practising giving speeches fluently in open occasions 37. Why did the author misname the International as National in paragraph 2? A. Because he misremembered the name of this day. B. Because the National version is more familiar to people. C. Because it is quite difficult for him to make the sound “inter”. D. Because as a stutter, he can’t pronounce the word “international”. 38. What might be the author’s answer in the last paragraph? A. Yes. I have got rid of stutter by developing a more positive attitude towards life. B. No. There is no recovering from stutter and I have simply found ways to conceal it. C. Yes. As I grow older, I rarely stutter now and people around me don’t know I stuttered. D. No. I will always live with stutter because it is also apart of me and I gladly accept that. 39. What’s the best title for this passage? A. My stutter, myself B. New definitions for stutter C. Stutter, a life-changing disability D. A special encounter with stutterers 【答案】36. C 37. C 38. D 39. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。讲述了作者遇到一个穿着考究的男人来问路，虽然有口吃，但是男人阻止了作者的接话，因为他想在与陌生人交谈时更勇敢一些。这让作者想到了自己曾经也有口吃，但是作者选择了让口吃成为自己的一部分。 【36题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“He was practising stuttering (口吃) openly, he explained, hoping to become more confident doing so around strangers.(他解释说，他正在公开练习口吃，希望能在陌生人面前更自信)”可知，这个体面的男人阻止了作者，因为他想在与陌生人交谈时更勇敢一些。故选C。 【37题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“But even as we spoke, my stutter had influenced my speech, and that’s why I’d misnamed International as National to avoid the tricky front sound that I continue to struggle with.(但就在我们说话的时候，我的口吃已经影响了我的发音，这就是为什么我把“国际”误称为“国家”，以避免我一直在努力解决的棘手的前音)”可知，international与national区别在于inter，即，作者在第2段把“国际”误称为“国家”是因为他发“inter”这个音很困难。故选C。 【38题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段问题“But are the supposed ex-stutters completely free of their stuttering past? (但是这些所谓的前口吃者是否完全摆脱了口吃的过去呢？)”及最后一段“As for me, I’d say that my stutter has not “magically disappeared” because I’ve simply found ways to conceal (隐藏) it. But I have a better therapy now-I will grow alongside it, an identity inseparable from the way that I speak.(至于我，我想说我的口吃并没有“神奇地消失”，因为我只是找到了隐藏它的方法。但我现在有了更好的治疗方法——我将与它一起成长，一种与我说话方式密不可分的身份)”可知，作者在最后一段的答案可能是：没有。我将永远带着口吃生活，因为它也是我的一部分，我很高兴地接受这一点。故选D。 【39题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“As for me, I’d say that my stutter has not “magically disappeared” because I’ve simply found ways to conceal (隐藏) it.

Brand, driven by the age-old alchemists’ dream of magically turning base metals into gold, conducted a series of experiments that would forever change our understanding of elements. Brand’s journey began with an assumption that the key to creating “gold” resided in human urine (尿液). This seemingly strange idea was fueled by the observation that urine shared a similar yellow color with the precious metal. Acting on this belief, Brand collected an astonishing 5000 liters of urine and allowed it to stand and ferment (发酵). After weeks of fermentation, Brand boiled the urine down to a thick, sticky substance. He then mixed this paste with sand and heated the mixture to an extreme temperature. What emerged from this process was a substance that was entirely new to the world of science — a white solid that shone with a soft light in the dark. Brand named this glowing material “phosphorus,” originating from the Greek words for “light bearer.” The discovery of phosphorus was not just a scientific breakthrough; it captured the imagination of the public and the scientific community alike. Its ability to give off light in the darkness was both fascinating and mysterious. The implications of Brand’s discovery were far-reaching. Phosphorus was not only a novelty but also a substance with practical applications. It would later become an essential component in the production of matches, fertilizers, and various chemicals. Hennig Brand’s accidental discovery of phosphorus in 1669 was more than just finding a new element; it marked the end of the era of the period of magic chemistry and the beginning of modern chemistry. Brand’s phosphorus, once sought as a means to wealth, became a cornerstone in the field of science, a clear demonstration of power of curiosity and the unexpected paths that can lead to enlightenment. 36. What is the main idea of the passage? A. The fall of ancient alchemists and the rise of modern chemists. B. The accidental discovery of phosphorus and its scientific impact. C. The importance of human urine in scientific experiments. D. The transformation of base metals into gold through magic. 37. What was Hennig Brand’s initial goal when he started his experiments? A. To turn human urine into gold. B. To discover a new element. C. To produce a glowing substance. D. To reform modern chemistry. 38. The underlined word “cornerstone” in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to ________. A. mystery B. symbol C. obstacle D. foundation 39. What can be inferred about Hennig Brand from the passage? A. He was a serious chemist who followed established scientific methods. B. He was a visionary scientist who predicted the future of chemistry. C. He was a curious individual willing to explore unconventional ideas. D. He was a wealthy trader with a deep understanding of chemistry. 【答案】36. B 37. A 38. D 39.

For Simon Spichak, it’s a lot, thanks to a hedgehog that fits in his hand. Mr. Spichak, a 29-year-old science writer who lives in Toronto, bought his new partner in May 2023 for $280 and named it Goober. He has spent an additional $200 on food, a wheel, bedding and toys, as well as $150 in their first year together to visit a veterinarian (兽医). Goober has improved Mr. Spichak’s life in small and big ways, providing him with entertaining material to post to his social media accounts and helping to introduce him to some of his neighbors when he takes Goober around his block, where they’re met with delighted curiosity. “There are lots of people walking by from the neighborhood who start conversations because of the hedgehog,” Mr. Spichak said. This is not an individual case. Ritesh Seth, a human resources specialist in Columbia, Md., bought a solid brass, Italian-made coffee pot for$400, and said it had helped him expand his network at his co-working space. “Other business enterprises and start-ups who work out of the office space have noticed my coffee pot and out of curiosity come over to chat,” Mr. Seth, 38, said. “Usually, after the polite introductions. we discuss what product or project we are working on, find common business challenges, refer potential prospects and sometimes talk about sports.” Millennials (born from 1981 to 1996) and Generation Z (born from 1997 to 2012) are more likely than older generations to make spending on nonessential purchases a priority, according to a study published last year by Intuit. The study suggested that this was because younger generations placed a high value on personal growth and mental happiness. While gym memberships or self-help books may be more obvious purchases for improving lives, less typical options, even unusual ones, can make a lasting difference by helping people find happiness and connect to new communities. 36. What did Goober bring to Simon? A. It inspired him to pursue a science writing career. B. It helped him save money on veterinary expenses. C. It enriched his social media and neighborhood connections. D. It gained him fame by achieving recognition in the community. 37. With the coffee pot as ______, Ritesh expanded his network at his co-working space. A. a conversation starter B. a marketable product C. a pilot project D. a technical challenge 38. Compared with older generations, Millennials and Generation Z ______. A. spend more time on gym memberships and self-help books B. prefer to spend on non-essential items for self-growth and emotional joy C. favour financial security over personal development and mental happiness D. show less interest in connecting to new communities through unique items 39. Which of the following is the best title for this passage? A. Business-Generation Tools B. Career-Pursuit Choices C. Community-Service Pets D. Life-Improvement Purchases 【答案】36. C 37. A 38. B 39. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。本文讲述了通过购买一些非必需品(如一只刺猬和一个意大利制造的咖啡壶)来改善生活质量和社交关系的例子，以及年轻一代在这些购买行为上的倾向。 【36题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第三段“Goober has improved Mr. Spichak’s life in small and big ways, providing him with entertaining material to post to his social media accounts and helping to introduce him to some of his neighbors when he takes Goober around his block, where they’re met with delighted curiosity. (Goober以或大或小的方式改善了Spichak先生的生活，为他提供了发布到社交媒体账户上的娱乐素材，当他带着Goober在街区走动时，还帮助他向一些邻居介绍自己，邻居们对此充满了好奇)”可知，Goober为Spichak先生提供了发布到社交媒体的有趣素材，还帮他结识邻居，丰富了他在社交媒体和邻里间的社交关系。故选C项。 【37题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第五段中Ritesh所说的话“Other business enterprises and start-ups who work out of the office space have noticed my coffee pot and out of curiosity come over to chat, (其他在该办公空间工作的企业和初创公司注意到我的咖啡壶，出于好奇，纷纷过来聊天)”可知，Ritesh用这个咖啡壶作为开始交谈的话题，在共享办公空间扩大了他的人脉。故选A项。 【38题详解】 推理判断题。由文章最后一段“Millennials (born from 1981 to 1996) and Generation Z (born from 1997 to 2012) are more likely than older generations to make spending on nonessential purchases a priority, according to a study published last year by Intuit. The study suggested that this was because younger generations placed a high value on personal growth and mental happiness. (据Intuit去年发布的一项研究显示，与老一辈人相比，千禧一代 (1981年至1996年出生) 和Z世代 (1997年至2012年出生) 更有可能将非必需品消费作为优先事项。该研究认为，这是因为年轻一代高度重视个人成长和精神幸福)”可知，与老一辈相比，千禧一代和Z世代更愿意在自我成长和情感愉悦的非必需品上花钱。故选B项。 【39题详解】 主旨大意题。由文章最后一段“While gym memberships or self-help books may be more obvious purchases for improving lives, less typical options, even unusual ones, can make a lasting difference by helping people find happiness and connect to new communities. (虽然健身房会员或自助书籍可能是改善生活的更明显选择，但不太典型的选择，甚至是不同寻常的选择，也能通过帮助人们找到幸福和联系新的社区，产生持久的影响)”以及全文内容可知，文章主要讲述了通过购买一些非必需品(如一只刺猬和一个意大利制造的咖啡壶)来改善生活质量和社交关系的例子，整体围绕能改善生活的购买行为展开论述。因此选项D“Life-Improvement Purchases(改善生活的购买行为)”最符合文章主旨。故选D项。 （十三） （2025年松江一模） After a long journey, I finally got to the hospital. Lying on the examination table while facing the painfully bright ceiling lights, I fidgeted, desperately trying to ignore the upsetting part of the situation. I attempted to focus on staying warm in the cold room, but what happened days ago kept running through my head — the intense pain, the overpowering fear, and the panicky steps in the Emergency Room. I was told I had broken a backbone. I now smiled recalling the innocence of my response: “Do I have to wear a support when I play football? ” I had waited for three months to find out whether I could play football again, but the thought of waiting another five minutes seemed impossible. Then Dr. Pittinger entered. He was friendly, but noticeably uncomfortable, almost sad. He told me that I would never be able to play football again. The realization sank in immediately. I wasn’t surprised, or at least I shouldn’t have been, but that didn’t make the order any easier. I refused to accept the idea, and for months I continued to exercise. I worked out from five to six every morning. Though I was ashamed to wear the support, I wore it devotedly, with some false hope that the more I wore it, the quicker and better it would heal the backbone. I was determined to play again. The fact is that, just as the doctor ordered, I never played another quarter of football. After nights of coming home from exercising, barely able to walk, I finally gave in. For a while, giving up felt like an admitting of defeat rather than the acceptance of a truth that should have been painfully obvious, but over time, I realized like most difficult decisions I have made and will have to make, life would go on. Rather than stick to the undeniably unattainable, I understood though this particular option was no longer open to me, I had countless others to make in its place. And by the way, I’m a five-star football coach now. 36. The word “fidgeted” in paragraph 1 most probably means “________”. A. felt terribly bored. B. lay quietly and calmly. C. was extremely grateful. D. made slight, anxious movements. 37. The underlined sentence in paragraph 2 indicates the writer’s ________. A. slow but steady recovery. B. eagerness to get the doctor’s answer. C. frequent visits to the hospital. D. emotional change after the accident. 38. What did the writer give up in the end? A. Trusting the doctor. B. Exercising in the gym. C. Focusing on the impossible. D. Putting everything in place. 39. What’s the message mainly conveyed in the passage? A. Ignoring failures is the key to a fulfilling life. B. There are two ways for everyone to live his life. C. Some people in the world live with physical pain. D. We should accept life as it is and live to the fullest. 【答案】36. D 37. B 38. C 39. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了作者脊柱受伤后被医生告知再也无法踢足球，作者无法接受，坚持戴着支架锻炼，但情况并没有好转，后来作者接受了这一残酷事实，并意识到自己还有许多其他选择，他现在成了一名五星级足球教练。 【36题详解】 词句猜测题。根据画线词所在句的“desperately trying to ignore the upsetting part of the situation(拼命地试图忽视这种令人不安的情况)”可知，作者躺在检查台上，感到非常不安，由此可推测出，作者因为焦虑而无所适从，fidgeted意为“坐立不安，手足无措”，与D项“制造轻微的、焦虑的动作”意思一致。故选D。 【37题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段画线句“I had waited for three months to find out whether I could play football again, but the thought of waiting another five minutes seemed impossible.(为了知道我是否还能再踢足球，我已经等了三个月，但再等五分钟的想法似乎是不可能的。)”和下面的“Then Dr. Pittinger entered. He was friendly, but noticeably uncomfortable, almost sad. He told me that I would never be able to play football again.(然后皮廷格医生走了进来。他很友好，但明显不舒服，几乎很悲伤。他告诉我，我再也不能踢足球了。)”可知，为了知道自己是否能够继续踢足球，作者已经等了三个月了，此刻在医院连五分钟也等不下去了，这时医生进来告诉他不能踢足球了，由此可推测出，作者特别想要知道医生的回答。故选B。 【38题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“Rather than stick to the undeniably unattainable, I understood though this particular option was no longer open to me, I had countless others to make in its place.(我没有坚持不可否认的不可实现的目标，而是明白虽然这个特定的选择不再对我开放，但我还有无数其他选择可以代替它。)”可知，作者不再坚持不可能实现的事情，而是决定寻找替代选项，由此可推测出，作者最后不再把注意力放在不可能的事情上。故选C。 【39题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是倒数第二段中的“For a while, giving up felt like an admitting of defeat rather than the acceptance of a truth that should have been painfully obvious, but over time, I realized like most difficult decisions I have made and will have to make, life would go on. Rather than stick to the undeniably unattainable, I understood though this particular option was no longer open to me, I had countless others to make in its place.(有一段时间，放弃感觉像是承认失败，而不是接受一个本应显而易见的事实，但随着时间的推移，我意识到，就像我所做和将要做的最艰难的决定一样，生活仍将继续。我没有坚持不可否认的不可实现的目标，而是明白虽然这个特定的选择不再对我开放，但我还有无数其他选择可以代替它。)”可知，作者脊柱受伤，被诊断出无法再继续踢足球，但作者无法接受这一现实，而是努力锻炼，但最终情况并没有改善，作者意识到生活仍然要继续下去，接受了现状，寻找其他机会，后来成了一名五星级的足球教练。作者虽然不能再踢足球，但作者接受了生活的馈赠，同样活出了精彩，他的故事告诉我们，要接受生活的本来面目，充实地生活。故选D。 （十四） （2025年青浦一模） My doctor took me for a walk around the farm where she lived. I was physically and emotionally exhausted and discouraged by anxiety and depression. The place was full of life. There were insects, horses, rabbits, and a cat. She told me to focus on my body in the environment. When I was ill, I tended to withdraw into my mind and disconnect from the here and now. So, when I met a horse named Fira, I expected nothing. As I got closer to Fira, she rubbed her nose into my chest, putting a gentle pressure over my heart. Something happened inside me: I felt as if I had reached a wellspring of past hurts, fears and failings. I began to melt emotionally. I patted Fira’s nose and breathed in her smell. I found I didn’t have to concentrate on feeling better; Fira helped me feel loved and safe. I worked with Fira often, learning basic communication and leading methods to work together with her. Initially, I wasn’t sure exactly what one would do with a horse except riding it. But I knew that Fira had touched me in an uncommon way and had made me feel better. She connected with me by responding to my emotional state and reflecting it back to me in an open, affectionate way. In my meetings with Fira, I learned to live in the present, to focus on what was happening this day, in this moment, in this place. I learned to forget the past, with all its hurt. I learned to forget the future, which hasn’t happened yet. With Fira by my side, I saw into a life in which trust comes first, and compassion follows. I found a deep peace in leading her along a path, by using my own power of intention to indicate whether to start, stop, turn left or turn right. I felt an inner quiet and even joy. My work with this horse was part of a journey out of a very dark night in my soul. 36. Why did the writer expect nothing when meeting Fira? A. Because Fira’s reaction led the writer to feel hurt and fearful. B. Because the writer’s mentality kept her from connecting with others. C. Because the writer knew nothing about Fira and didn’t know what to expect. D. Because the animals on the farm distracted the writer from focusing on her body. 37. Which of the following statements about Fira is TRUE? A. Fira was the writer’s pet, living on her farm. B. Fira made the writer feel better by giving her rides. C. Fira got the writer to concentrate on her hurt feelings. D. Fira responded affectionately to the writer’s approach. 38. In the last paragraph, the writer shares her experience with Fira to imply that _______. A. animals can follow people’s instructions, thus gaining their trust B. interacting with animals can be a therapy to psychological distress C. meetings with animals can help people step out of their comfort zone D. people can access temporary peace and joy when working with animals 39. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage? A. My Doctor’s Farm: A Place of Healing B. Fira: The Horse that Saved My Life C. From Darkness to Light: My Journey with Fira D. Horse Smell: The Magic Power 答案： 36. B 37. D 38.B 39. C 文章大意: 作者因身心俱疲、饱受焦虑和抑郁困扰，医生带其到自己居住的农场散步。农场充满生机，在那里作者邂逅了一匹名为 Fira 的马。起初，由于作者自身心理状态不佳，对与 Fira 的相遇并未抱有期待。然而，Fira 用温柔的举动触动了作者，让作者内心积压的伤痛开始消解。此后，作者常与 Fira 相处，学习与它沟通及合作的方法。在与 Fira 的互动中，作者学会了活在当下，忘却过去的伤痛与对未来的担忧，逐步走出心灵的黑暗低谷。 答案解析 36 题 答案：B 解析：文中明确提到 “When I was ill, I tended to withdraw into my mind and disconnect from the here and now. So, when I met a horse named Fira, I expected nothing.”，这表明作者患病时习惯沉浸在自己的思绪中，与现实脱节，这种心理状态致使她在见到 Fira 时不抱任何期望。A 选项，是在接触 Fira 后作者内心的伤痛被引发，并非一开始就因 Fira 的反应而受伤恐惧；C 选项，并非因为不了解 Fira 所以没期待，核心原因是作者自身的心理问题；D 选项，文中未提及农场动物分散作者对自身身体关注的相关内容。所以 B 选项正确。 37 题 答案：D 解析：依据 “As I got closer to Fira, she rubbed her nose into my chest, putting a gentle pressure over my heart.” 以及 “She connected with me by responding to my emotional state and reflecting it back to me in an open, affectionate way.” 可知，当作者靠近 Fira 时，Fira 不仅用鼻子蹭作者胸口，还以开放且深情的方式回应作者的情绪状态，这充分说明 Fira 对作者的靠近给予了深情回应。A 选项，文中没有信息表明 Fira 是作者的宠物；B 选项，作者并非通过骑马感觉变好，而是与 Fira 的互动让其心境改善；C 选项，Fira 是使作者内心伤痛得到缓解，并非让作者专注于伤痛感觉。因此，D 选项正确。 38 题 答案：B 解析：在最后一段，作者详细叙述了与 Fira 相处的经历，从最初被焦虑和抑郁笼罩的黑暗状态，到在与 Fira 的相处过程中学会活在当下，进而走出心灵的黑暗，这一系列变化表明与动物的互动对作者的心理困扰起到了治疗作用。A 选项，文章重点并非强调动物听从指令获取信任，而是与动物互动对心理的积极影响；C 选项，文中未涉及走出舒适区的内容；D 选项，作者与 Fira 相处并非只是获得暂时的平静和快乐，而是实现了心灵困境的逐步解脱。所以，B 选项正确。 39 题 答案：C 解析：文章主要围绕作者从身心受焦虑抑郁折磨的黑暗状态，通过与 Fira 相处逐渐走向心灵光明的历程展开。C 选项 “From Darkness to Light: My Journey with Fira” 精准地概括了文章的核心内容，是最佳标题。A 选项，文章重点并非医生的农场，而是作者与 Fira 的经历；B 选项，“saved my life” 表述过于夸大；D 选项，“Horse Smell” 只是与 Fira 接触中的一个细节，无法全面概括全文。所以，C 选项正确。 重点词块 physically and emotionally exhausted：身心俱疲 withdraw into：退缩到；沉浸于 disconnect from：与…… 脱节 rub... into...：把…… 擦进；蹭 respond to：对…… 做出回应 live in the present：活在当下 reflect... back to...：把…… 反馈给…… step out of：走出 复杂句式 1. When I was ill, I tended to withdraw into my mind and disconnect from the here and now. 分析：这是一个主从复合句，“When I was ill” 为时间状语从句，表明作者处于生病这一特定时间背景；主句为 “I tended to withdraw into my mind and disconnect from the here and now”，其中 “tend to do sth.” 表示 “倾向于做某事”，描述作者在生病时的行为倾向。 翻译：当我生病的时候，我往往会沉浸在自己的思绪中，与当下脱节。 2. As I got closer to Fira, she rubbed her nose into my chest, putting a gentle pressure over my heart. 分析：此句同样是主从复合句，“As I got closer to Fira” 为时间状语从句，说明作者靠近 Fira 这一动作发生的时间；“she rubbed her nose into my chest” 是主句，描述 Fira 的主要动作；“putting a gentle pressure over my heart” 是现在分词短语作伴随状语，补充说明 Fira 蹭作者胸口时同时施加的动作。 翻译：当我靠近 Fira 时，她把鼻子蹭进我的胸口，在我的心脏上方轻轻施压。 3. I found a deep peace in leading her along a path, by using my own power of intention to indicate whether to start, stop, turn left or turn right. 分析：这是一个简单句，“in leading her along a path” 和 “by using my own power of intention to indicate whether to start, stop, turn left or turn right” 均为方式状语，前者表明作者在引领 Fira 沿着小路走的过程中找到平静，后者说明作者通过运用自己的意向力来指示 Fira 行动方向，进而找到平静。 翻译：在引领她沿着小路前行的过程中，通过运用我自己的意向力来指示是开始、停止、向左转还是向右转，我找到了一种深深的平静。 4. My work with this horse was part of a journey out of a very dark night in my soul. 分析：该句为简单句，“My work with this horse” 是句子主语，表示 “我与这匹马的相处（经历）”；“was” 为系动词；“part of a journey” 作表语；“out of a very dark night in my soul” 为介词短语作后置定语，修饰 “journey”，说明这是一段走出心灵黑暗的旅程。 翻译：我与这匹马的相处经历是我走出心灵黑暗之夜旅程的一部分。 （十五） （2025年崇明一模） The Pulitzers are American awards given within the United States for outstanding achievement in journalism as well as books, drama and music. Under these headings, there are 22 categories including online journalism, newspaper reporting, fiction, history, music, drama, poetry, photography and more. Recipients can be a news organization, an individual or a group of people. Each of the first 21 winners receives a $15,000 cash prize and a certificate. The twenty-second prize, however, is the Public Service Prize, which is always given to a news agency. Instead of cash, the news organization receives the Pulitzer Gold Medal. The name of the year’s winner is on one side of the coin and the year is on the other. All winners are honored and awarded their prizes at an annual lunch party. The event takes place at Columbia University, which was originally tasked with administering the award, and usually occurs in May. If it hadn’t been for a Hungarian-American named Joseph Pulitzer, the awards would never have come into existence. Pulitzer was born into a wealthy family in Hungary in 1847. He made his way to America and built a career in journalism. He developed a reputation as an ambitious and energetic young journalist. By 1872 Pulitzer had become a publisher, and six years later he owned a newspaper company. In 1883 he purchased yet another newspaper. He became known as someone who was not afraid to take a public stand against corruption (腐败). After a successful career in journalism, seven years before his death, Pulitzer wrote a will, leaving $2,000,000 to Columbia University. The money was to establish a school of journalism at Columbia and a set of awards. Pulitzer’s desire was to raise the standards of journalism. He hoped the prize would act as a stimulus for journalists to work for excellence — then and into the future. Faithfully following Pulitzer’s instructions, Columbia University awarded the very first Pulitzer Prizes in 1917. Today these awards are considered some of the most distinguished prizes in America. 36. What can be known about the Pulitzers? A.Their recipients all get cash prizes. B. There are 21 winners each year. C. They are awarded worldwide. D. They go beyond journalism. 37. It can be inferred from the passage that Joseph Pulitzer _____. A. was humorous and courageous B. was raised up in a journalist’s family C. had a strong sense of justice D. sought a goal of producing wealth 38. Pulitzer established the prizes mainly to _____. A. facilitate better journalism B. diversify ways of access to journalism C. support Columbia University D. stimulate people to become journalists 39. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A. Pulitzer Prizes: Joseph Pulitzer’s Lifetime Ambition B. Pulitzer Prizes: Some of America’s Greatest Honors C. Pulitzer Prizes: Awards for Distinguished Journalists D. Pulitzer Prizes: Annual Events at Columbia University 【答案】36. D 37. C 38. A 39. B 【导读】 本文介绍了普利策奖，它是美国在新闻、书籍、戏剧和音乐等领域颁发的奖项，涵盖 22 个类别。获奖者包括新闻机构、个人或团体，除公共服务奖外，其他 21 个奖项的获得者可获现金奖励和证书。该奖由匈牙利裔美国人约瑟夫・普利策设立，他在新闻领域取得成功后，留下 200 万美元给哥伦比亚大学，用于建立新闻学院和设立奖项，以提高新闻行业标准。1917 年，哥伦比亚大学首次颁发普利策奖，如今该奖已成为美国最杰出的奖项之一。 【解析】 36. 细节理解题： 根据第一段 “The Pulitzers are American awards given within the United States for outstanding achievement in journalism as well as books, drama and music. Under these headings, there are 22 categories including online journalism, newspaper reporting, fiction, history, music, drama, poetry, photography and more.” 可知，普利策奖不仅涉及新闻领域，还包括书籍、戏剧、音乐等多个领域，D 选项 “它们超越了新闻领域” 正确。 A 选项，公共服务奖获得者获得的是普利策金牌而非现金奖励，所以 A 选项错误；B 选项，每年有 22 个奖项，而不是 21 个获奖者，所以 B 选项错误；C 选项，普利策奖是在美国国内颁发，并非全球范围，所以 C 选项错误。所以答案是 D。 37. 推理判断题： 由第三段 “He became known as someone who was not afraid to take a public stand against corruption (腐败).” 可知，约瑟夫・普利策敢于公开反对腐败，这表明他有强烈的正义感，C 选项正确。 A 选项，文中未提及他幽默；B 选项，他出生于匈牙利的富裕家庭，并非新闻工作者家庭；D 选项，他设立奖项的目的是提高新闻行业标准，而非追求财富，所以 A、B、D 选项错误。所以答案是 C。 38. 细节理解题： 根据第四段 “Pulitzer’s desire was to raise the standards of journalism. He hoped the prize would act as a stimulus for journalists to work for excellence — then and into the future.” 可知，普利策设立奖项主要是为了促进更好的新闻工作，提高新闻行业标准，A 选项正确。 B 选项 “使进入新闻行业的方式多样化”，文中未提及；C 选项 “支持哥伦比亚大学”，设立奖项的主要目的不是支持大学，而是提高新闻标准；D 选项 “激励人们成为记者”，重点是激励记者追求卓越，而非激励人们成为记者，所以 B、C、D 选项错误。所以答案是 A。 39. 主旨大意题： 文章介绍了普利策奖的设立背景、涵盖领域、奖项设置以及其意义，如今普利策奖被认为是美国最杰出的奖项之一，B 选项 “普利策奖：美国一些最伟大的荣誉” 能全面概括文章内容，正确。 A 选项 “普利策奖：约瑟夫・普利策的毕生抱负”，文章不仅仅围绕他的抱负展开；C 选项 “普利策奖：杰出记者的奖项”，普利策奖不仅针对记者，还涉及其他领域；D 选项 “普利策奖：哥伦比亚大学的年度活动”，这只是普利策奖颁奖的地点和形式，不能概括全文，所以 A、C、D 选项错误。所以答案是 B。 【重点词块】 1. outstanding achievement 杰出成就 2. recipient 接受者 3. news agency 新闻机构 4. administer the award 管理奖项 5. take a public stand against 公开反对 6. write a will 立遗嘱 7. raise the standards of 提高…… 的标准 8. act as a stimulus 起到激励作用 【复杂句式】 1. The Pulitzers are American awards given within the United States for outstanding achievement in journalism as well as books, drama and music.” 分析：句子主干是 “The Pulitzers are American awards”，“given within the United States for outstanding achievement in journalism as well as books, drama and music” 是过去分词短语作后置定语，修饰 “awards”，说明普利策奖是在美国国内为新闻、书籍、戏剧和音乐等领域杰出成就而设立的奖项。 翻译：普利策奖是在美国国内颁发的美国奖项，旨在表彰新闻、书籍、戏剧和音乐等领域的杰出成就。 2. “The twenty - second prize, however, is the Public Service Prize, which is always given to a news agency. Instead of cash, the news organization receives the Pulitzer Gold Medal.” 分析：第一句是主从复合句，“The twenty - second prize, however, is the Public Service Prize” 是主句，“which is always given to a news agency” 是非限制性定语从句，对 “the Public Service Prize” 进行补充说明。第二句是简单句，“Instead of cash” 是状语，表明不是获得现金。 翻译：然而，第 22 个奖项是公共服务奖，该奖总是授予一家新闻机构。新闻机构获得的不是现金，而是普利策金牌。 3. “If it hadn’t been for a Hungarian - American named Joseph Pulitzer, the awards would never have come into existence.” 分析：这是一个虚拟条件句，“If it hadn’t been for...” 是对过去情况的虚拟，意思是 “如果不是……”，表示一种假设的情况，主句 “the awards would never have come into existence” 使用了与过去事实相反的虚拟语气结构 “would + have + 过去分词”。 翻译：如果不是因为一位名叫约瑟夫・普利策的匈牙利裔美国人，这些奖项就永远不会存在。 4. “Pulitzer’s desire was to raise the standards of journalism. He hoped the prize would act as a stimulus for journalists to work for excellence — then and into the future.” 分析：第一句是简单句，“to raise the standards of journalism” 是动词不定式作表语，说明普利策的愿望。第二句是主从复合句，“He hoped” 是主句，“the prize would act as a stimulus for journalists to work for excellence — then and into the future” 是省略了引导词 “that” 的宾语从句，作 “hoped” 的宾语，“to work for excellence” 是动词不定式作目的状语，表明奖项对记者起到激励作用的目的。 翻译：普利策的愿望是提高新闻行业的标准。他希望这个奖项能激励记者们追求卓越 —— 无论是当时还是未来。 （十六） （2025年宝山一模） If you love beautiful scenery, then head for the national parks and monuments of Utah. Begin your trip in Arches National Park. Depicted (描绘) as a wonderland, Arches has more than 2,000 natural stone arches, the world's largest concentration. If you'd like a challenge, try the Fiery Furnace hike. You must go with a park guide as the hike is a labyrinth (迷宫), with narrow rocks above drop-offs along with gaps to pull yourself up and through. Not far from Arches lies Canyon lands National Park. The most accessible area of the park is the Island in the Sky, a huge mesa (台地). Take the drive around the edge to get an amazing view of the surrounding area. From Grand View Point, you can take an easy two-mile hike that follows the edge of the mesa. It crosses a narrow point of land arriving at one of the most beautiful viewpoints in the world. Farther to the north is Dinosaur National Monument. Your first stop here should be the Quarry Exhibit Hall, where you can see a natural stone wall containing about 1,500 bones from dinosaurs that once walked in this region. After that, hike one of the park's many trails. Along some of them, you can see petroglyphs (岩画).These are designs and images that were carved into the stone walls by the Freemont people, who lived in this area from around 200 A.D. to 1300 A.D. If you wish to camp, stay overnight in the Split Mountain campground. During the evening, attend one of the night sky programs that are held after dark in the camping area. As you gaze up at the heavens, an expert will point out and discuss fascinating objects in the night sky. 36. What does the article imply about the Fiery Furnace hike? A.

D 文章大意 文章是一篇旅游指南，介绍了犹他州的几个国家公园和纪念碑。首先推荐了拱门国家公园（Arches National Park），其中有 2000 多个天然石拱，还提到了具有挑战性的 Fiery Furnace 徒步路线。接着介绍了离拱门国家公园不远的峡谷地国家公园（Canyonlands National Park），重点讲了其中比较容易到达的天空之岛（Island in the Sky）以及在那里可以欣赏到的美景。最后介绍了更北边的恐龙国家纪念碑（Dinosaur National Monument），包括其中的采石场展览厅（Quarry Exhibit Hall）、徒步路线上的岩画以及露营活动和夜间观星项目。 答案解析 36 题 答案：D 解析：文章对 Fiery Furnace 徒步路线的描述是 “a labyrinth (迷宫), with narrow rocks above drop - offs along with gaps to pull yourself up and through”，意思是这条路线像迷宫一样，有狭窄的岩石、落差以及需要攀爬通过的缝隙。这些描述表明路线有复杂的弯道和转折，所以答案是 D。A 选项文中没有提到这条路线通向犹他州最高的山峰；B 选项从对路线像迷宫一样的描述可以推断出它并不容易完成，需要一定的努力；C 选项文中没有提及为保护动物而关闭该路线的内容。 37 题 答案：B 解析：根据文章内容 “During the evening, attend one of the night sky programs that are held after dark in the camping area. As you gaze up at the heavens, an expert will point out and discuss fascinating objects in the night sky.”，在露营地天黑后会有夜间观星项目，人们仰望天空时，专家会指出并讨论夜空中迷人的物体。所以可以推断专家讨论的应该是和天空有关的内容，选项中只有 B 选项 “行星、月亮和星星” 符合，A 选项昆虫、C 选项本土灌木和花卉、D 选项有趣的鸟类都与夜空中的物体无关。 38 题 答案：D 解析：文章主要内容是关于犹他州的国家公园和纪念碑，包括公园内的徒步路线、景点、露营等户外活动相关信息。A 选项《流行工艺与爱好》主要涉及手工制作和兴趣爱好方面的内容，与文章主题不符；B 选项《美国文学杂志》主要是文学作品相关内容；C 选项《今日投资指南》主要是关于投资的内容。只有 D 选项《户外休闲文摘》是关于户外休闲活动的刊物，所以答案是 D。 重点词块 natural stone arches：天然石拱 concentration：集中；聚集 labyrinth：迷宫 drop - offs：落差；陡坡 accessible area：容易到达的区域 mesa：台地 viewpoint：观点；视角；景点 petroglyphs：岩画 campground：露营地 night sky programs：夜空观测项目 复杂句式 1. “Depicted (描绘) as a wonderland, Arches has more than 2,000 natural stone arches, the world's largest concentration.” 分析：这是一个简单句，“Depicted (描绘) as a wonderland” 是过去分词短语作状语，用来描述 Arches National Park 的状态，相当于 “As it is depicted as a wonderland”；句子的主干是 “Arches has more than 2,000 natural stone arches”，“the world's largest concentration” 是同位语，对 “more than 2,000 natural stone arches” 进行补充说明。 翻译：拱门国家公园被描绘成一个仙境，拥有 2000 多个天然石拱，是世界上石拱最集中的地方。 2. “You must go with a park guide as the hike is a labyrinth (迷宫), with narrow rocks above drop - offs along with gaps to pull yourself up and through.” 分析：这是一个主从复合句，“You must go with a park guide” 是主句；“as the hike is a labyrinth (迷宫)” 是原因状语从句，说明需要和公园导游一起走的原因；“with narrow rocks above drop - offs along with gaps to pull yourself up and through” 是 “with + 宾语 + 宾语补足语” 结构，在句中作状语，对 “a labyrinth” 进行补充说明，其中 “to pull yourself up and through” 是动词不定式作后置定语，修饰 “gaps”。 翻译：你必须和一个公园导游一起走，因为这条徒步路线是一个迷宫，有落差上方狭窄的岩石，还有供你攀爬通过的缝隙。 3. “These are designs and images that were carved into the stone walls by the Freemont people, who lived in this area from around 200 A.D. to 1300 A.D.” 分析：这是一个主从复合句，“These are designs and images” 是主句；“that were carved into the stone walls by the Freemont people” 是定语从句，修饰先行词 “designs and images”，说明这些设计和图像是由 Freemont 人刻在石壁上的；“who lived in this area from around 200 A.D. to 1300 A.D.” 是定语从句，修饰先行词 “the Freemont people”，说明 Freemont 人的居住时间。 翻译：这些是设计和图像，它们是由公元 200 年到 1300 年左右居住在这个地区的弗里蒙特人刻在石壁上的。 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
