备战2025年高考英语名校模拟真题速递(新高考八省专用) 第二期 专题07 记叙文10篇 （24-25高三上·四川成都·一模）As we drove along the country road, a herd of deer emerged as if by magic, surrounding us from all sides. I shouted at my husband to slow down and avoid hitting them. We were coming to a stop when the car doors flew open and we sprang out of the car. A deer lay injured by the roadside, with its eyes wide open. While some deer scattered, a few remained at a safe distance, observing the scene. “I have to call the police,” my husband said. As we waited for help, a nearby resident came out of his house, angrily shouting instructions. I told him that we had already contacted the police. He stood at his doorway, arms crossed, watching us. I know he wanted to make sure we didn’t leave the scene. I suggested calling a 24- hour veterinarian clinic, but before doing so, I noticed a slight movement in the deer’s back leg. We watched as she struggled to rise. After several minutes, she managed to stand. She turned her head to look at us, and then leapt gracefully toward the forest. I raced after her until she disappeared into the forest. Tears streamed down my face, a mix of joy that she could run again and fear for her survival. I walked back to the car just as the police arrived. Our “security guard” returned to his house, satisfied that his role was complete. After listening to our account, the police praised us for remaining at the scene. They told us that deer are resilient creatures and that she would survive. The following day, we revisited the scene. The area showed no signs of blood. I discovered a piece of our car’s plastic bumper with the deer’s fur attached to it. I picked it up and took it home. Whenever I see a deer walking through the forest along our country road, I wonder if it was our deer from that summer evening. 1．What did the author and her husband do upon discovering an injured deer by the roadside? A．They drove away the other deer. B．They slowed down to avoid it. C．The husband contacted the police. D．The wife tried to help the deer stand up. 2．How did the nearby resident react to the situation? A．He kept a close watch on the couple. B．He immediately called a local veterinarian. C．He observed the injured deer closely. D．He gave tips on how to handle the injured deer. 3．How did the author feel when the injured deer stood up and ran into the forest? A．Sad and disappointed. B．Surprised and confused. C．Happy but a little worried. D．Relieved but a little frustrated. 4．What did the police do about the incident? A．They fined the couple. B．They comforted the couple. C．They tracked the injured deer. D．They investigated the scene. 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．C 4．B 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。本文讲述了作者和丈夫在驾车行驶时，意外撞伤了一只鹿。他们停下来并报警。在等待的过程中，作者注意到受伤的鹿挣扎着站了起来，然后跑进了森林。警察到来后，赞扬了作者和丈夫留在现场的行为，并告诉他们鹿会生存下来。后来，作者和丈夫再次回到现场，发现了车上的塑料保险杠碎片和鹿的皮毛，并带回了家。每次看到鹿在森林中行走时，作者都会想起那个夏天的夜晚。 1．细节理解题。根据文章第一段““I have to call the police,” my husband said.(‘我得报警，’我丈夫说。)”以及第四段中“I walked back to the car just as the police arrived.(我走回车上时，警察来了。)”可知，当发现路边受伤的鹿时，作者的丈夫联系了警察。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据文章第二段“As we waited for help, a nearby resident came out of his house, angrily shouting instructions.(在我们等待帮助的时候，附近的一位居民从房子里出来，生气地喊着指示。)”和“He stood at his doorway, arms crossed, watching us.

Tears streamed down my face, a mix of joy that she could run again and fear for her survival.(我追着她跑，直到她消失在森林里。泪水顺着我的脸颊流下来，既有她又能奔跑的喜悦，也有对她能否生存下来的担忧。)”可推知，当受伤的鹿站起来跑向森林时，作者流泪了，对鹿又能奔跑感到喜悦，同时又对她是否能够生存下来感到担心；因此，作者感到高兴但有点担心。故选C。 4．推理判断题。根据文章第五段“After listening to our account, the police praised us for remaining at the scene. They told us that deer are resilient creatures and that she would survive.(听完我们的叙述后，警察赞扬了我们留在现场的行为。他们告诉我们鹿是顽强的生物，她会活下来的。)”可知，警察听了作者夫妇的叙述后，安慰了这对夫妇，告诉他们鹿是顽强的生物，这只受伤的鹿会活下来。故选B。 （24-25高三上·山西阳泉·阶段练习）When Hurricane Gilbert struck her native Jamaica in her childhood, Morrison and her family were left without running water in their home for three months. Every day, they traveled to her grandfather's home near the business district where water had already been restored to collect what they needed for the day. Watching her community recover from the hurricane taught Morrison a number of lessons she'd hang onto for the rest of her life:water is a critical resource and utility;people and organizations want to help after a disaster;and, because organization is difficult after such events, it's not always easy to determine what actions will help most. Morrison, who received a master's degree in engineering science at the Harvard John A．Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences(SEAS), has spent the last 14 years trying to create a bridge between organizations looking to make a difference. In 2010, she co-founded Do Good Jamaica, a non-profit organization that's undertaken a number of projects around early childhood development, climate and emotional recovery in Jamaica, and has provided a digital database that connects organizations looking to cooperate on other kinds of projects. “We have our own projects that we do, but we also help a lot of groups that have their own projects.” Do Good Jamaica started with the pursuit of a world record. Morrison had just joined the Rotary Clubs of Kingston when she read about a Rotary Club in California that had recently set a Guinness World Record for the most books donated to charity in seven days. Knowing that there was a shortage of children's books at Jamaican libraries, Morrison went to her own club to break the record. Morrison also contacted charitable organizations, set up corporate sponsorships from booksellers like Scholastic, and even sought private donations through her alumni network at Harvard and the University of Pennsylvania. “That showed me the power of people working together on a single goal, ”she said. 1．Why does the author mention Morrison's childhood experience? A．To illustrate her stubborn nature. B．To introduce hardships she once suffered. C．To reveal the source power for her future career. D．To indicate a lack of efficiency of the local public service. 2．What can be learned about Do Good Jamaica? A．It was independently set up by Morrison. B．It started with the attempt to break a Guinness Record. C．It mainly helps other groups with their voluntary projects. D．It functions as a bond between organizations and the government. 3．What do Morrison's words mean in the last paragraph? A．She has a team of high efficiency. B．She stresses the importance of friendship. C．She is proud of her good quality social network. D．She received much help and support in her voluntary work 4．Which of the following words can best describe Morrison? A．Responsible and devoted. B．Ambitious and loyal. C．Honest and hardworking. D．Stubborn and idealistic. 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．D 4．A 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章描述了Morrison童年时期经历飓风Gilbert的经历，这段经历影响了她未来的职业选择和人生观，并介绍了Morrison创立的非营利组织Do Good Jamaica，以及该组织的工作和影响。 1．推理判断题。根据第一段“When Hurricane Gilbert struck her native Jamaica in her childhood, Morrison and her family were left without running water in their home for three months.”（当飓风吉尔伯特在她的童年时期袭击她的故乡牙买加时，莫里森和她的家人在家中失去了三个月的自来水。）和第二段“Watching her community recover from the hurricane taught Morrison a number of lessons she'd hang onto for the rest of her life:water is a critical resource and utility;people and organizations want to help after a disaster;and, because organization is difficult after such events, it's not always easy to determine what actions will help most.”（观看她的社区从飓风中恢复，让莫里森得到了许多终生受用的教训：水是关键的资源和公用设施；人们和组织在灾后想要提供帮助；而且，由于在此类事件后组织工作困难，确定哪些行动最有帮助并不总是容易。）可知，文章开头提到Morrison童年经历飓风Gilbert的经历，并列举了她从中学到的三个重要教训。这些教训直接影响了Morrison未来的职业选择和她创立Do Good Jamaica的动机。因此, 作者提到Morrison童年经历是为了揭示她未来事业的动力来源。故选C项。 2．细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段“Do Good Jamaica started with the pursuit of a world record. Morrison had just joined the Rotary Clubs of Kingston when she read about a Rotary Club in California that had recently set a Guinness World Record for the most books donated to charity in seven days. Knowing that there was a shortage of children's books at Jamaican libraries, Morrison went to her own club to break the record.”（Do Good Jamaica的起源是追求一个世界纪录。Morrison刚加入金斯敦的扶轮社时，读到加利福尼亚的一家扶轮社最近创造了七天内捐赠最多书籍给慈善机构的吉尼斯世界纪录。了解到牙买加的图书馆缺乏儿童书籍，Morrison决定回到自己的社团去打破这个纪录。）可知，Do Good Jamaica这一组织的起源是追求一个世界纪录。Morrison刚加入金斯敦的扶轮社时, 读到加州一个扶轮社创造了7天内捐赠最多书籍的吉尼斯世界纪录, 于是她决定打破这个记录。这直接导致了Do Good Jamaica的成立。因此，该组织是从尝试打破吉尼斯世界纪录开始的。故选B。 3．推理判断题。最后一段“Morrison also contacted charitable organizations, set up corporate sponsorships from booksellers like Scholastic, and even sought private donations through her alumni network at Harvard and the University of Pennsylvania. ‘ That showed me the power of people working together on a single goal,’ she said.”（莫里森还联系了慈善组织，与像Scholastic这样的书商建立了企业赞助关系，甚至通过她在哈佛大学和宾夕法尼亚大学的校友网络寻求私人捐款。“这让我看到了人们为了一个共同目标而团结合作的力量，”她说。）表明，她意识到了人们共同努力实现一个目标的力量。在尝试打破记录的过程中，她联系了慈善组织,获得了企业赞助，甚至通过校友网络寻求私人捐赠。这些都表明她在志愿工作中得到了很多帮助和支持。故选D项。 4．推理判断题。根据第三段“In 2010, she co-founded Do Good Jamaica, a non-profit organization that's undertaken a number of projects around early childhood development, climate and emotional recovery in Jamaica, and has provided a digital database that connects organizations looking to cooperate on other kinds of projects.”（在2010年，她联合他人创立了Do Good Jamaica组织，这是一个非营利组织，开展了多项关于早期儿童发展、气候和情感恢复的项目，并提供了一个数字数据库，连接希望在其他项目上合作的组织。）可知， Morrison从童年经历中学到重要教训并将其应用于未来的工作中， 创立了Do Good Jamaica，具有强烈的社会责任感和奉献精神。故选A项。 （24-25高三上·河南焦作·一模）“The water will turn to steam, which will power cars.” “Yeah, that’s a really cool idea.” This conversation is part of a lesson about technologies that reduce planet-heating pollution. It was lectured by Kirstin Milks, a science teacher at Bloomington High School. Climate change is the story of today’s young people’s lives. But Milks says, “Our students need to know not just the stuff we hear about in the news, but also the actual difference we can make in our shared future.” Creativity is at the core of her lesson. After students learn the basics of climate engineering, they’re asked to come up with interesting wild ideas to slow global warming. In the first round of brainstorming, students imagine lots of ways to reflect light back into the atmosphere, like covering the desert in shiny glitter (闪光) , Next, students are asked to consider the potential limitations and risks to their ideas. Take glitter in the desert for example: “How are we going to make sure that the glitter doesn’t get eaten by the rock pocket mouse... or snakes?” Milks asks. The students suggest making the glitter large and smooth enough so it won’t be eaten by animals or otherwise harm them. For their final assignment, students present their concepts, including their expected benefits and risks. Ben Kravitz, an assistant professor of earth and atmosphere science at Indiana University, who has carefully watched the whole lesson, says, “The neat thing about seeing all of these ideas come out of the classroom is it’s not ‘I can’t do it’. It’s ‘we can do it’. Humans, when they get together, can do amazing things. And that’s what gives me hope.” 1．What might be a purpose of Kirstin Milks’ lessons about climate change? A．To find innovative ways to power cars. B．To encourage students to read news critically.

And that’s what gives me hope.’”（印第安纳大学地球和大气科学助理教授Ben Kravitz仔细观察了整个课程后说：“看到所有这些想法从课堂上出来的有趣之处在于，这不是‘我不能做’，而是‘我们可以做’。人类在一起时可以做出惊人的事情。这就是给我希望的原因。”）可推知，作者提到Ben Kravitz是为了支持Milks的做法。故选 C。 （24-25高三上·河南·一模）Several decades ago, finding and writing to a pen pal was a regular thing and it was an exciting way to make friends in different parts of the country. Over time, our world became “smaller,” and the practice became unnecessary and uncool. It’s so easy to communicate with people across the globe through social media platforms. However, as Peter Allen’s 1974 song reminds us, “everything old is new again.” Teachers at Pearson’s Comer Elementary School (PCES) in Mechanicsville, Virginia, introduced their students to the old tradition and added a new meaning on it in the process. PCES staff paired students with residents at Hermitage Richmond Senior Living, and the students and their senior friends have exchanged letters since September. “Community connections and looking out for one another is as important as the air that we breathe and so it does so much,” said the President of PCES, Kamryn Cummins. Hermitage resident Daylon McCarty and eight-year-old Yosha Sreeraj met for the first time during the school’s unique field trip. Daylon, who is seven decades older than her pen pal, is a former kindergarten teacher. She expressed her excitement for the project, saying, “I used to teach kindergarten. So I love to see them writing. It just helps them build their writing skills. And they asked me questions, and I asked them what they’ve been doing.” When they met face-to-face, Yosha — clearly, an energetic and curious little lady — learned, among other fun facts, that Daylon once lived on the beach. There is so much that the young and old can teach one another! Wearing their PCES Panther T- shirts, students sang “Take Me Out to the Ball Game” before reading to the seniors, playing games, and visiting. This was the second year the school’s second graders developed friendships with Hermitage residents. And it’s been great for both young and old. Jennifer Norton, Hermitage’s Director of Lifestyle and Wellness, said, “They have been writing each other back and forth since September. And so now they get to meet each other in person. And it’s a special and precious experience.” 1．What does the author think of writing to a pen pal? A．It is an old and gradually reborn practice. B．It has been widely adopted by schools. C．It is an entirely new connecting way. D．It is an outdated and unnecessary tradition. 2．Why did PCES introduce students to the tradition of having pen pals? A．To teach them about other cultures. B．To pair them with international pen pals. C．To help them bridge the generation gap. D．To get them involved in community connections. 3．What do we know about Daylon McCarty from the text? A．She lives on the beach now. B．She is energetic and curious. C．She has retired and enjoys teaching. D．She has never had a pen pal before. 4．What is Jennifer Norton’s attitude towards the pen pal program? A．Indifferent. B．Opposed. C．Doubtful. D．Appreciated. 【答案】1．A 2．D 3．C 4．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述PCES 的老师向学生介绍了一项旧传统，并在这个过程中为其添加了新的含义，将学生与 Hermitage Richmond Senior Living 的居民配对，学生和他们的老年朋友通过信件交流。 1．推理判断题。根据第一段“Several decades ago, finding and writing to a pen pal was a regular thing and it was an exciting way to make friends in different parts of the country. Over time, our world became “smaller,” and the practice became unnecessary and uncool. It’s so easy to communicate with people across the globe through social media platforms. However, as Peter Allen’s 1974 song reminds us, “everything old is new again.”(几十年前，找笔友并给笔友写信是一件很平常的事情，这是一种令人兴奋的结交不同地区朋友的方式。随着时间的推移，我们的世界变得“更小”，这种做法变得不必要和不酷。通过社交媒体平台与世界各地的人们交流是如此容易。然而，正如彼得·艾伦1974年的歌曲提醒我们的那样，“一切旧的都是新的。”)”可知，作者认为这是一种古老而又焕发新生的做法。故选A。 2．细节理解题。根据第二段“Teachers at Pearson’s Comer Elementary School (PCES) in Mechanicsville, Virginia, introduced their students to the old tradition and added a new meaning on it in the process. PCES staff paired students with residents at Hermitage Richmond Senior Living, and the students and their senior friends have exchanged letters since September.(弗吉尼亚州梅肯尼克斯特城的PCES的教师们向学生们介绍了一项古老的传统，并在此过程中赋予了新的意义。PCES的工作人员将学生与Hermitage Richmond Senior Living的居民们结对，自九月以来，学生们和他们的老年朋友们一直通过书信交流)”及第三段““Community connections and looking out for one another is as important as the air that we breathe and so it does so much,” said the President of PCES, Kamryn Cummins.( PCES总裁Kamryn Cummins说：“社区联系和互相照顾就像我们呼吸的空气一样重要，所以它有很多作用。”)”可知，PCES 向学生介绍拥有笔友的传统是为了帮助他们参与社区联系。故选D。 3．细节理解题。根据第四段“Daylon, who is seven decades older than her pen pal, is a former kindergarten teacher. She expressed her excitement for the project, saying, “I used to teach kindergarten. So I love to see them writing. It just helps them build their writing skills. And they asked me questions, and I asked them what they’ve been doing.(Daylon比她的笔友大70岁，以前是一名幼儿园老师。她表达了对这个项目的兴奋之情，她说：“我曾经在幼儿园教过书。所以我喜欢看他们写字。它只是帮助他们建立他们的写作技巧。他们问了我一些问题，我问他们在做什么。”)”可知，Daylon退休了，喜欢教书。故选C。 4．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Jennifer Norton, Hermitage’s Director of Lifestyle and Wellness, said, “They have been writing each other back and forth since September.

It’s morning in northern Viet Nam’s hilly Thai Nguyen province. The strangers in the backyard — a team comprising animal experts from the Hanoi Wildlife Rescue Center, alongside representatives from the forest protection department — are here to move the tigers to their new home. It’s a sad moment for their owner. “For nearly 20 years, I have treated them as my own children,” the middle-aged man said. “But I’m getting older, so our family has decided to voluntarily hand over the tigers to a trustworthy place.” That place is the Hanoi Wildlife Rescue Center. The state-run facility is one of the 23 animal rescue centers in Viet Nam and the only one equipped to offer a shelter to both surrendered (交出) tigers like these and those confiscated (没收) by authorities. Tigers are an endangered species, and it is illegal to hunt, keep or sell them in Viet Nam. Still, the tiger trade develops fast in some parts of Asia, driven by a demand that sees all parts of the tiger used, including bones that are used in traditional medicine to cure bone-related illnesses or to make glue that is mixed with wine for consumption, and teeth and skin that are prized as decorative items. When tigers are confiscated from the illegal trade or voluntarily surrendered by owners, they are transported to the Hanoi Wildlife Rescue Center where they are cared for, alongside other rescued animals. Since it opened its doors in 1996, the center has rescued and received more than 32,000 individuals comprising over 100 different species. “Rescued animals are usually not in a very healthy state,” says center director Luong Xuan Hong. So professionals give new arrivals a thorough check-up to detect any injuries or diseases, before coming up with a suitable program to help them recover. On a recent summer afternoon, a handful of tigers drank water from concrete pools, slept in large leaf-filled enclosures or patted bunches of leaves hanging from cage tops in the midst of quiet surroundings. Once their quarantine (隔离期) period is over, the six tigers from Thai Nguyen will join their fellow big cats. 1．Why did the middle-aged man feel unhappy? A．He saw his tigers badly treated. B．He had no one but tigers to rely on. C．He had to say goodbye to his tigers. D．He was punished by an official agent. 2．What can be known about the Hanoi Wildlife Rescue Center? A．It only takes in unhealthy animals. B．It has seen the drop of tiger trades in Asia. C．It allows individuals to adopt rescued animals. D．It has made achievements in saving species. 3．What can we learn about the six tigers from the last paragraph? A．They will be released into the wild very soon. B．They will live a comfortable life in the center. C．They will be quarantined for a longer period. D．They are living in harmony with other species. 4．Which of the following is the best title of the text? A．A Rescue Center Is Taking Off B．Six Tigers Find a New Home C．Many Tigers Are in Danger in Viet Nam D．New Arrivals Adapt Quickly in a Shelter 【答案】1．C 2．D 3．B 4．B 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了越南的一个野生动物救助中心救助老虎的故事。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段“It’s a sad moment for their owner. “For nearly 20 years, I have treated them as my own children,” the middle-aged man said. “But I’m getting older, so our family has decided to voluntarily hand over the tigers to a trustworthy place.”(这对他们的主人来说是悲伤的时刻。“近20年来，我一直把他们当作自己的孩子，”这位中年男子说。“但我老了，所以我们家决定自愿把老虎交给一个值得信赖的地方。”)”可知，这位中年男子因为不得不和他养了近20年的老虎告别而感到不开心。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据第五段“Since it opened its doors in 1996, the center has rescued and received more than 32,000 individuals comprising over 100 different species.(自1996年开业以来，该中心已经拯救并接收了超过32,000只动物，包括100多个不同的物种。)”可知，河内野生动物救援中心在拯救物种方面取得了成就。故选D。 3．推理判断题。根据最后一段“On a recent summer afternoon, a handful of tigers drank water from concrete pools, slept in large leaf-filled enclosures or patted bunches of leaves hanging from cage tops in the midst of quiet surroundings. Once their quarantine (隔离期) period is over, the six tigers from Thai Nguyen will join their fellow big cats.(最近一个夏天的下午，在安静的环境中，几只老虎在混凝土水池里喝水，在满是树叶的大围栏里睡觉，或者拍着挂在笼子顶上的一簇簇树叶。一旦隔离期结束，来自Thai Nguyen的六只老虎将加入它们的大型猫科动物同伴。)”可知，这六只老虎在隔离期结束后将会和其他大型猫科动物一起生活，说明它们将在中心过上舒适的生活。故选B。 4．主旨大意题。根据第一段“Behind a large house, six tigers pace around inside an enclosure. It’s morning in northern Viet Nam’s hilly Thai Nguyen province. The strangers in the backyard — a team comprising animal experts from the Hanoi Wildlife Rescue Center, alongside representatives from the forest protection department — are here to move the tigers to their new home.(在一所大房子后面，六只老虎在围栏里走来走去。这是越南北部多山的太原省的早晨。后院的陌生人——一个由河内野生动物救援中心的动物专家和森林保护部门的代表组成的团队——是来把老虎搬到新家的。)”和最后一段“On a recent summer afternoon, a handful of tigers drank water from concrete pools, slept in large leaf-filled enclosures or patted bunches of leaves hanging from cage tops in the midst of quiet surroundings.

The country is a little smaller than Montana, but its library network is larger, with hundreds of central libraries, branch libraries and mobile libraries. I was two years old when my family set foot in Finland. We settled in Porvoo, a small city of around 50,000 people about an hour away from the capital, Helsinki. One thing it didn’t have were books in my family’s language — my first language, Albanian. I can’t say that I was ever encouraged to pick up a book. But once I learned how to read Finnish, I never stopped, becoming a frequent sight at the small school library. I was 10 years old when the new building of the main library of Porvoo opened its doors to the public. When I visited for the first time, I was so in awe that I cried. I rarely, however, borrowed a book. Perhaps I was just scared that something would happen to the books if they were somewhere they didn’t seem to belong. But unlike the real world, books never distressed me — even crime, horror and thriller titles — and I read everything. I spent as much time as I could in the new library — falling in love with books and stories and the Finnish language; gaining confidence as a speaker; and dreaming of writing a book of my own one day, slowly growing from a reader to a writer. 1．What problem did the author meet with arriving in Finland? A．He had few friends to make with. B．He felt discouraged to read a book. C．He couldn’t read books in Finnish. D．He couldn’t find available libraries. 2．What can be inferred about the newly-built library of Porvoo? A．It took a decade to build. B．It never failed to impress C．It received the most readers. D．It aroused readers’ creativity. 3．Which is closest in meaning to “distressed” in paragraph 4? A．Worried. B．Drew. C．Satisfied. D．Surprised. 4．What’s the best title for the text? A．Experience Cultures of Finland B．Recall Old Days in Albania C．Pursue My Dreams in Helsinki D．Read My Way Through Porvoo 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．A 4．D 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者一家来到波尔沃定居，作者通过阅读来融入当地的生活的经历。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段“One thing it didn’t have were books in my family’s language—my first language, Albanian. I can’t say that I was ever encouraged to pick up a book. But once I learned how to read Finnish, I never stopped, becoming a frequent sight at the small school library.(有一样东西是没有的，那就是用我的母语阿尔巴尼亚语写的书。我不能说我曾经被鼓励去拿起一本书。但是，一旦我学会了如何阅读芬兰语，我就再也没有停下来，成为学校小图书馆的常客)”可知，作者到达芬兰时看不懂芬兰语的书。故选C。 2．推理判断题。根据第三段“It was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen: endless shelves carrying tens of thousands of books, records, movies, magazines and newspapers. And the best part was that everything was free. I couldn’t understand how that was possible. All these books, these worlds, this information —free of charge? Really?(这是我见过的最美的东西：无数的架子上放着成千上万的书籍、唱片、电影、杂志和报纸。最棒的是一切都是免费的。我不明白这怎么可能。所有这些书，这些世界，这些信息都是免费的吗？真的吗？)”可知，波尔沃新建的图书馆总是给人留下深刻的印象。故选B。 3．词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“Perhaps I was just scared that something would happen to the books if they were somewhere they didn’t seem to belong.(也许我只是害怕，如果这些书出现在它们似乎不属于的地方，会发生什么事情)”以及后文“even crime, horror and thriller titles—and I read everything”可知，上文提到了作者担心书籍出现在不属于它们的地方会发生什么事情，结合“But unlike the real world”中but表示转折，说明但与现实世界不同的是，书从来不会让我担心——即使是犯罪、恐怖和惊悚类的书——作者什么书都读。故划线词意思是“担心”。故选A。 4．主旨大意题。根据第三段“I was 10 years old when the new building of the main library of Porvoo opened its doors to the public.

After weeks of treatment, I lost my hair and saw changes to my body. I struggled with nerve pain and aching joints. During the maintenance stage one year later, the side effects continued. The changes to my body were significant. Worst of all, I found it difficult to stay confident. I struggled to feel pretty. In public, people would assume I was a boy and refer to me as “he”, because cancer had taken away my femininity (女子气质) and repeatedly knocked on my confidence. Eventually, I decided to shave my head. I realized that, instead of letting the cancer control this part of my appearance, it was important that I took back some control. Although shaving my head was a tough thing to do, it made me feel empowered. Luckily, most of my friends were supportive. They kept in touch with me, stayed there throughout and treated me as normal. Now, I am 17 and it’s nearly three years post- treatment. My hair has grown back, and I feel well within myself, though I do suffer from slow- processing and tiredness, which makes school and home life more difficult. Thanks to my friends who are aware of this, things are made much easier for me. I really want to tell people that if you know someone with cancer, it’s important to remember that they are still the same person, with the same likes and dislikes. Just talk to them about the normal stuff— like the latest gossip at school or TV shows and films— and remember an invitation goes a long way, too. Sharing your love, time, kindness and generosity can have a huge impact. Doing this will not only make the cancer journey more bearable, but it will also remind your friend that you are always there. These gestures guarantee that they won’t face cancer alone. 1．What was the biggest influence of cancer on the author? A．The pain in the joints. B．The lack of confidence. C．The decrease in interaction. D．The loss of hair. 2．What did the author gain after shaving her hair? A．Protection from her friends. B．Positive comments on her appearance. C．Her special femininity. D．A sense of self- control. 3．What does the author stress in the last paragraph? A．The correct way to deal with cancer patients. B．The importance of proper medical treatment. C．The determination to overcome difficulties. D．The pain and after- effects of the disease. 4．Which of the following may the author agree with according to her experience? A．Love me, love my dog. B．Never judge a book by its cover. C．Cancer patients should make more friends. D．Offering support and help to cancer patients is crucial. 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．A 4．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者在13岁生日前的三周，被诊断出患有癌症，几周的治疗后，作者失去了头发，并且发现很难保持自信，后来作者决定剃光头，让自己感觉更有力量，并且也得到了朋友的认可。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段中“Worst of all, I found it difficult to stay confident.

I shouted at my husband to slow down and avoid hitting them. We were coming to a stop when the car doors flew open and we sprang out of the car. A deer lay injured by the roadside, with its eyes wide open. While some deer scattered, a few remained at a safe distance, observing the scene. “I have to call the police,” my husband said. As we waited for help, a nearby resident came out of his house, angrily shouting instructions. I told him that we had already contacted the police. He stood at his doorway, arms crossed, watching us. I know he wanted to make sure we didn’t leave the scene. I suggested calling a 24- hour veterinarian clinic, but before doing so, I noticed a slight movement in the deer’s back leg. We watched as she struggled to rise. After several minutes, she managed to stand. She turned her head to look at us, and then leapt gracefully toward the forest. I raced after her until she disappeared into the forest. Tears streamed down my face, a mix of joy that she could run again and fear for her survival. I walked back to the car just as the police arrived. Our “security guard” returned to his house, satisfied that his role was complete. After listening to our account, the police praised us for remaining at the scene. They told us that deer are resilient creatures and that she would survive. The following day, we revisited the scene. The area showed no signs of blood. I discovered a piece of our car’s plastic bumper with the deer’s fur attached to it. I picked it up and took it home.

Every day, they traveled to her grandfather's home near the business district where water had already been restored to collect what they needed for the day. Watching her community recover from the hurricane taught Morrison a number of lessons she'd hang onto for the rest of her life:water is a critical resource and utility;people and organizations want to help after a disaster;and, because organization is difficult after such events, it's not always easy to determine what actions will help most. Morrison, who received a master's degree in engineering science at the Harvard John A．Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences(SEAS), has spent the last 14 years trying to create a bridge between organizations looking to make a difference. In 2010, she co-founded Do Good Jamaica, a non-profit organization that's undertaken a number of projects around early childhood development, climate and emotional recovery in Jamaica, and has provided a digital database that connects organizations looking to cooperate on other kinds of projects. “We have our own projects that we do, but we also help a lot of groups that have their own projects.” Do Good Jamaica started with the pursuit of a world record. Morrison had just joined the Rotary Clubs of Kingston when she read about a Rotary Club in California that had recently set a Guinness World Record for the most books donated to charity in seven days. Knowing that there was a shortage of children's books at Jamaican libraries, Morrison went to her own club to break the record. Morrison also contacted charitable organizations, set up corporate sponsorships from booksellers like Scholastic, and even sought private donations through her alumni network at Harvard and the University of Pennsylvania. “That showed me the power of people working together on a single goal, ”she said. 1．Why does the author mention Morrison's childhood experience? A．To illustrate her stubborn nature. B．To introduce hardships she once suffered. C．To reveal the source power for her future career.

It was lectured by Kirstin Milks, a science teacher at Bloomington High School. Climate change is the story of today’s young people’s lives. But Milks says, “Our students need to know not just the stuff we hear about in the news, but also the actual difference we can make in our shared future.” Creativity is at the core of her lesson. After students learn the basics of climate engineering, they’re asked to come up with interesting wild ideas to slow global warming. In the first round of brainstorming, students imagine lots of ways to reflect light back into the atmosphere, like covering the desert in shiny glitter (闪光) , Next, students are asked to consider the potential limitations and risks to their ideas. Take glitter in the desert for example: “How are we going to make sure that the glitter doesn’t get eaten by the rock pocket mouse... or snakes?” Milks asks. The students suggest making the glitter large and smooth enough so it won’t be eaten by animals or otherwise harm them. For their final assignment, students present their concepts, including their expected benefits and risks. Ben Kravitz, an assistant professor of earth and atmosphere science at Indiana University, who has carefully watched the whole lesson, says, “The neat thing about seeing all of these ideas come out of the classroom is it’s not ‘I can’t do it’. It’s ‘we can do it’. Humans, when they get together, can do amazing things. And that’s what gives me hope.” 1．What might be a purpose of Kirstin Milks’ lessons about climate change? A．To find innovative ways to power cars. B．To encourage students to read news critically. C．To make science basics more accessible to students D．To inspire students to play their part for the society. 2．What does paragraph 5 mainly talk about? A．Procedures of the lesson. B．The core value of creativity. C．Potentials of different students. D．The key concept of solutions. 3．Which can best describe Kirstin Milks’ way of teaching? A．It prioritizes practical application. B．It focuses on theoretical knowledge. C．It encourages creative problem-solving. D．It highlights the risks of climate change. 4．Why does the author mention Ben Kravitz in the last paragraph? A．To prove Milks’ point. B．To praise Milks’ virtue. C．To support Milks’ practice. D．To express Milks’ hope. （24-25高三上·河南·一模）Several decades ago, finding and writing to a pen pal was a regular thing and it was an exciting way to make friends in different parts of the country. Over time, our world became “smaller,” and the practice became unnecessary and uncool. It’s so easy to communicate with people across the globe through social media platforms. However, as Peter Allen’s 1974 song reminds us, “everything old is new again.” Teachers at Pearson’s Comer Elementary School (PCES) in Mechanicsville, Virginia, introduced their students to the old tradition and added a new meaning on it in the process. PCES staff paired students with residents at Hermitage Richmond Senior Living, and the students and their senior friends have exchanged letters since September. “Community connections and looking out for one another is as important as the air that we breathe and so it does so much,” said the President of PCES, Kamryn Cummins. Hermitage resident Daylon McCarty and eight-year-old Yosha Sreeraj met for the first time during the school’s unique field trip. Daylon, who is seven decades older than her pen pal, is a former kindergarten teacher. She expressed her excitement for the project, saying, “I used to teach kindergarten. So I love to see them writing. It just helps them build their writing skills. And they asked me questions, and I asked them what they’ve been doing.” When they met face-to-face, Yosha — clearly, an energetic and curious little lady — learned, among other fun facts, that Daylon once lived on the beach. There is so much that the young and old can teach one another! Wearing their PCES Panther T- shirts, students sang “Take Me Out to the Ball Game” before reading to the seniors, playing games, and visiting. This was the second year the school’s second graders developed friendships with Hermitage residents. And it’s been great for both young and old. Jennifer Norton, Hermitage’s Director of Lifestyle and Wellness, said, “They have been writing each other back and forth since September. And so now they get to meet each other in person. And it’s a special and precious experience.” 1．What does the author think of writing to a pen pal? A．It is an old and gradually reborn practice. B．It has been widely adopted by schools. C．It is an entirely new connecting way. D．It is an outdated and unnecessary tradition. 2．Why did PCES introduce students to the tradition of having pen pals? A．To teach them about other cultures.

It’s morning in northern Viet Nam’s hilly Thai Nguyen province. The strangers in the backyard — a team comprising animal experts from the Hanoi Wildlife Rescue Center, alongside representatives from the forest protection department — are here to move the tigers to their new home. It’s a sad moment for their owner. “For nearly 20 years, I have treated them as my own children,” the middle-aged man said. “But I’m getting older, so our family has decided to voluntarily hand over the tigers to a trustworthy place.” That place is the Hanoi Wildlife Rescue Center. The state-run facility is one of the 23 animal rescue centers in Viet Nam and the only one equipped to offer a shelter to both surrendered (交出) tigers like these and those confiscated (没收) by authorities. Tigers are an endangered species, and it is illegal to hunt, keep or sell them in Viet Nam. Still, the tiger trade develops fast in some parts of Asia, driven by a demand that sees all parts of the tiger used, including bones that are used in traditional medicine to cure bone-related illnesses or to make glue that is mixed with wine for consumption, and teeth and skin that are prized as decorative items. When tigers are confiscated from the illegal trade or voluntarily surrendered by owners, they are transported to the Hanoi Wildlife Rescue Center where they are cared for, alongside other rescued animals. Since it opened its doors in 1996, the center has rescued and received more than 32,000 individuals comprising over 100 different species. “Rescued animals are usually not in a very healthy state,” says center director Luong Xuan Hong. So professionals give new arrivals a thorough check-up to detect any injuries or diseases, before coming up with a suitable program to help them recover.

The country is a little smaller than Montana, but its library network is larger, with hundreds of central libraries, branch libraries and mobile libraries. I was two years old when my family set foot in Finland. We settled in Porvoo, a small city of around 50,000 people about an hour away from the capital, Helsinki. One thing it didn’t have were books in my family’s language — my first language, Albanian. I can’t say that I was ever encouraged to pick up a book. But once I learned how to read Finnish, I never stopped, becoming a frequent sight at the small school library. I was 10 years old when the new building of the main library of Porvoo opened its doors to the public. When I visited for the first time, I was so in awe that I cried. I rarely, however, borrowed a book. Perhaps I was just scared that something would happen to the books if they were somewhere they didn’t seem to belong. But unlike the real world, books never distressed me — even crime, horror and thriller titles — and I read everything. I spent as much time as I could in the new library — falling in love with books and stories and the Finnish language; gaining confidence as a speaker; and dreaming of writing a book of my own one day, slowly growing from a reader to a writer. 1．What problem did the author meet with arriving in Finland? A．He had few friends to make with. B．He felt discouraged to read a book. C．He couldn’t read books in Finnish. D．He couldn’t find available libraries. 2．What can be inferred about the newly-built library of Porvoo? A．It took a decade to build. B．It never failed to impress C．It received the most readers. D．It aroused readers’ creativity. 3．Which is closest in meaning to “distressed” in paragraph 4? A．Worried. B．Drew. C．Satisfied. D．Surprised. 4．What’s the best title for the text? A．Experience Cultures of Finland B．Recall Old Days in Albania C．Pursue My Dreams in Helsinki D．Read My Way Through Porvoo （24-25高三上·陕西·一模）It was October 2018, three weeks before my 13th birthday when I was diagnosed (诊断) with cancer. After weeks of treatment, I lost my hair and saw changes to my body. I struggled with nerve pain and aching joints. During the maintenance stage one year later, the side effects continued. The changes to my body were significant. Worst of all, I found it difficult to stay confident. I struggled to feel pretty. In public, people would assume I was a boy and refer to me as “he”, because cancer had taken away my femininity (女子气质) and repeatedly knocked on my confidence. Eventually, I decided to shave my head. I realized that, instead of letting the cancer control this part of my appearance, it was important that I took back some control. Although shaving my head was a tough thing to do, it made me feel empowered. Luckily, most of my friends were supportive. They kept in touch with me, stayed there throughout and treated me as normal. Now, I am 17 and it’s nearly three years post- treatment. My hair has grown back, and I feel well within myself, though I do suffer from slow- processing and tiredness, which makes school and home life more difficult. Thanks to my friends who are aware of this, things are made much easier for me. I really want to tell people that if you know someone with cancer, it’s important to remember that they are still the same person, with the same likes and dislikes. Just talk to them about the normal stuff— like the latest gossip at school or TV shows and films— and remember an invitation goes a long way, too. Sharing your love, time, kindness and generosity can have a huge impact. Doing this will not only make the cancer journey more bearable, but it will also remind your friend that you are always there. These gestures guarantee that they won’t face cancer alone. 1．What was the biggest influence of cancer on the author? A．The pain in the joints. B．The lack of confidence.

B．Never judge a book by its cover. C．Cancer patients should make more friends. D．Offering support and help to cancer patients is crucial. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
