He knew all the kids and their pets by name; he carried in the groceries; he took note of unlocked doors, offered gardening advice, and taught more than a few young boys the art of the curveball. When he wasn't doing all that, Jim was running across a checkerboard of green lawns (草坪) to ensure the local postal service did not fall short of its daily promise. Though the postal service is often disparaged now, the trust in local postal service lives on. In many communities, that trust is won every day when life-saving medicine, greeting cards, social security checks, college acceptance letters-even the bills-appear in mailboxes in front of the houses. After more than three decades, Jim approached his final days on the job much like any other. He drove a boxy postal truck to North DuPont Road for the first unofficial stop of the day. Butch, a dog who belonged to one of the neighbors, was waiting just like every day before. And just like every day before, he got into the jump seat and they were off. On the route, Jim and Butch had become inseparable. Now, the dog and the mailman would ride off to retirement together. At every stop, Jim accepted the parting good wishes of families that had become his own. There were tears and laughter, and hugs filled with warm memories. It’s been 33 years since Jim left the route, but we are still reminded of the deep bond established between community and letter carrier. That’s what the postal service means to us. 24. What do we know about Jim Johnson from the first paragraph? A. He's open-minded. B. He's sharp-eyed. C. He's warm-hearted. D. He's strong-willed. 25. What does the underlined word “disparaged” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Refused. B. Criticized. C. Investigated. D. Suspended. 26. What did Jim do besides daily delivery on his final days of work? A. He drove Butch to its owner. B. He sent presents to his friends. C. He prepared a retirement party. D. He said goodbye to the neighbors. 27. What is the author's purpose in writing the text? A. To remember a respected mail carrier. B. To record an unforgettable experience. C. To raise funds for the postal service. D. To call for harmony in the community. ( 答案解析 ) 【答案】24. C 25. B 26. D 27. A 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了邮递员吉姆·约翰逊在工作中热心帮助邻里，与大家建立了深厚感情，在他退休33年后，作者依然记得他，表达了对他的怀念。 24. 推理判断题。根据第一段中“He knew all the kids and their pets by name; he carried in the groceries; he took note of unlocked doors, offered gardening advice, and taught more than a few young boys the art of the curveball. When he wasn't doing all that, Jim was running across a checkerboard of green lawns (草坪) to ensure the local postal service did not fall short of its daily promise.(他知道所有孩子和他们宠物的名字；他把杂货搬进来；他注意到那些没锁的门，提供园艺方面的建议，还教了几个小男孩曲球的艺术。当他不做这些事情的时候，吉姆会跑过棋盘状的绿色草坪，以确保当地的邮政服务不会达不到每天的承诺)”可推知，吉姆·约翰逊是一个热心肠的人。故选C项。 25.词句猜测题。根据划线单词句“Though the postal service is often disparaged now, the trust in local postal service lives on.(虽然邮政服务现在经常disparaged，但人们对当地邮政服务的信任仍然存在)”可知，前后句是转折关系，后半句说对当地邮政服务的信任依然存在，那么前半句应该是说邮政服务现在常被批评，由此表明，邮政服务经常被看不起或批评。由此可知，划线词disparaged与“Criticized(批评)”意思相近。故选B项。 26.细节理解题。根据第三段中“At every stop, Jim accepted the parting good wishes of families that had become his own. There were tears and laughter, and hugs filled with warm memories.(每到一站，吉姆都会接受那些已经成为他自己的家人的告别祝福。有泪水，有欢笑，有充满温暖回忆的拥抱)”可知，吉姆在工作的最后几天除了每天送货外，还向邻居们告别。故选D项。 27. 推理判断题。根据文章大意以及最后一段“It’s been 33 years since Jim left the route, but we are still reminded of the deep bond established between community and letter carrier. That’s what the postal service means to us.(吉姆离开这条路线已经33年了，但我们仍然记得社区和邮递员之间建立的深厚联系。这就是邮政服务对我们的意义)”可知，文章主要讲述了吉姆·约翰逊这位邮递员在工作中热心帮助邻里，与大家建立了深厚感情，在他退休33年后，作者依然记得他，表达了对他的怀念。由此推知，作者写这篇文章的目的是纪念一位受人尊敬的邮递员。故选A项。 ( 考点变式 ) 一、高频词类转换 1. carry vt.携带→_____________n.搬运人，运输工具；航空公司；运输舰 2. neighbour n.邻居→_____________ n.社区 3. post n.邮政 →_____________a.邮递的；邮寄的 4. secure a.安全的 →_____________n.安全工作；保安 5. accept vt.接受→_____________ n.接受 6. official a.官方的→_____________ ant非官方的 7. separable a. 可分开的 →_____________ant 不可分开的 8. retire v.退休→_____________n.退休，退役 9. forget vt.忘记 →_____________a.难忘的 【参考答案】 1. carrier 2. neighbourhood 3.postal 4. security 5. acceptance 6. unofficial 7. inseparable 8. retirement 9. unforgettable 二、考纲识词知意 1 / 33 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 1.institution n. _____________ 2.leafy a. _____________ 3.downtown a. _____________ 4.deliver vt. _____________ 5. curveball n. _____________ 6.checkerboard n. _____________ 7.life-saving a. _____________ 8.approach vt. _____________ 9.route n. _____________ 10.part vt. _____________ 11.bond n. _____________ 12.open-minded a. _____________ 13.sharp-eyed a. _____________ 14.warm-hearted a. _____________ 15.strong-willed a. _____________ 16.criticize vt. _____________ 17.investigate vt. _____________ 18.suspend vt. _____________ 19. disparage vt. _____________ 【参考答案】 1. 机构，团体；社会收容机构2. 多叶的；长满树木的3. 市中心的，商业区的4. 投递，运送；履行，兑现5. 曲线球，曲球6. 西洋跳棋棋盘7. 救命的8. 靠近，临近；接洽，交谈；对付9.线路10.告别11. 纽带，联系；公债，债券12. 虚心的；思想开明的13. 目光敏锐的14. 热心的15. 意志坚强的16. 批评，指责；评论17. 调查18. 暂停，中止 19.贬低，诋毁 三、高频词块默写 1.by name _____________ 2.take note of _____________ 3.run across _____________ 4.fall short of _____________ 5.belong to _____________ 6.remind sb of… _____________ 7.say goodbye to _____________ 8. raise funds for _____________ 9.call for _____________ 10. live on _____________ 【参考答案】 1. 凭名字2. 注意到; 记笔记3. 偶然遇到4. 达不到；缺乏5.属于6.使某人想起7.向某人告别8. 为……筹集资金9. 要求，需要 10. 继续存在 四、真题单句填空 1.

Yes, we all have our phones, but many of us still like to go old school and read something printed. Well, there’s a kiosk (小亭) for that. In the San Francisco Bay Area, at least. “You enter the fare gates (检票口) and you’ll see a kiosk that is lit up and it tells you can get a one-minute, a three-minute, or a five-minute story,” says Alicia Trost, the chief communications officer for the San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit — known as BART. “You choose which length you want and it gives you a receipt-like short story.” It’s that simple. Riders have printed nearly 20,000 short stories and poems since the program was launched last March. Some are classic short stories, and some are new original works. Trost also wants to introduce local writers to local riders. “We wanted to do something where we do a call to artists in the Bay Area to submit stories for a contest,” Trost says. “And as of right now, we’ve received about 120 submissions. The winning stories would go into our kiosk and then you would be a published artist.” Ridership on transit (交通) systems across the country has been down the past half century, so could short stories save transit? Trost thinks so. “At the end of the day all transit agencies right now are doing everything they can to improve the rider experience. So I absolutely think we will get more riders just because of short stories,” she says. And you’ll never be without something to read. 24. Why did BART start the kiosk program? A. To promote the local culture. B. To discourage phone use. C. To meet passengers’ needs. D. To reduce its running costs. 25. How are the stories categorized in the kiosk? A. By popularity. B. By length. C. By theme. D. By language. 26. What has Trost been doing recently? A. Organizing a story contest. B. Doing a survey of customers. C. Choosing a print publisher. D. Conducting interviews with artists. 27. What is Trost’s opinion about BART’s future? A. It will close down. B. Its profits will decline. C. It will expand nationwide. D. Its ridership will increase. ( 答案解析 ) 【答案】24. C 25. B 26. A 27. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。主要报道了旧金山湾区捷运系统(BART)推出自动售货亭提供短篇故事打印服务，旨在满足乘客阅读需求，提升出行体验，Trost认为此举措能吸引更多乘客，对BART 未来持乐观态度，预期乘客量将会增长。 24.推理判断题。根据第三段““You enter the fare gates (检票口) and you’ll see a kiosk that is lit up and it tells you can get a one-minute, a three-minute, or a five-minute story,” says Alicia Trost, the chief communications officer for the San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit - known as BART. “You choose which length you want and it gives you a receipt-like short story.”(旧金山湾区捷运系统（BART）首席通讯官Alicia Trost表示：“你进入检票口，会看到一个亮着灯的信息亭，它告诉你可以得到一分钟、三分钟或五分钟的报道。你可以选择你想要的长度，它会给你一个类似收据的短篇故事。”)”可知，BART启动信息亭是为了满足乘客在乘车过程中的阅读需求，为他们提供不同长度的短篇故事或诗歌来打发时间。故选C项。 25.细节理解题。根据第三段“You choose which length you want and it gives you a receipt-like short story.(你可以选择你想要的长度，它会给你一个类似收据的短篇故事)”可知，信息亭中的故事按长度分类，乘客可以根据自己的需求选择不同长度的故事。故选B项。 26.细节理解题。根据第五段“We wanted to do something where we do a call to artists in the Bay Area to submit stories for a contest,(我们想做一些事情，呼吁湾区的艺术家为比赛提交故事)”以及第六段“The winning stories would go into our kiosk and then you would be a published artist.(获奖故事会进入我们的信息亭，然后你就会成为一名出版艺术家)”可知，Trost最近在组织一个故事竞赛，向湾区的艺术家征集故事，获胜作品将被放入售货亭供乘客阅读。故选A项。 27.细节理解题。根据倒数第二段““At the end of the day all transit agencies right now are doing everything they can to improve the rider experience. So I absolutely think we will get more riders just because of short stories,” she says.(她说：“归根结底，所有的交通机构现在都在尽一切努力改善乘客体验。所以我绝对认为，我们会因为短篇小说而吸引更多的乘客。”)”可知，Trost认为通过提升乘客体验，包括提供短篇故事阅读服务，BART可以吸引更多的乘客，乘客量将会增加。故选D项。 ( 解题指导 ) 记叙文解题指导 【高考考情】 年份 卷别 主题 话题 2025 八省联考卷 人与社会 邮递员与社区的深厚情感 2024 2024新课标I卷 人与自然 中医针灸治疗动物 2024新课标II卷 人与社会 创新打印吸引顾客 2023 2023新课标I卷 人与自然 利用自然自我修复原理净化污水 2023新课标II卷 人与自我 学校科学项目 2023全国甲卷 人与社会 DIY成为女性新宠 2022 2022新课标Ⅱ卷 人与自我 记者生活趣事 2022全国甲卷 人与社会 悉尼发展遇到的问题 2020 2020全国I卷 人与自我 人与社会 逆境完成学业树榜样 书评 2020全国II卷 人与社会 宣传图书馆 2020全国III卷 人与社会 影视作品使用动物 英国多世同堂现象 【语篇特点】 内容上，记叙文应该包括六要素，即：时间、地点、人物、起因、经过和结果。可以按事件发生的时间顺序写，也可以按事件发生的先后写。 命题上，主要集中在多个事件的先后顺序与人物的情感态度上。 选材上，新颖、生动、真实、典型的素材描写，让读者有身临其境的感觉。 形式上，顺叙、倒叙、插叙。 语言上，一般过去时为主，各种时态为辅，合理使用丰富多彩的谓语动词时态是英语记叙文首要的语言特征；多用动词，尤其是动态强的行为动词是英语记叙文又一个明显的语言特征。 【写作意图】 1.讲述故事 ( tell / narrate / relate a story) 2.分享经验  (share an experience) 3.纪念人物 (remember a person) 4.阐明道理 (communicate an idea / convey a message) 【解题技巧】 1.关注细节 记叙文中有大量的事件发展过程中的细节，包括记叙文的5W（what, who, when, where, why）要素。因此我们作答细节题的时候，就没有那么复杂，一般只需要由前到后，从上到下，一题一题地做就可以了。          2.注重联系 在做题过程中，我们大都不能在文中找到与题干一字不差的词语或句子。这时我们需要认真研究问题，抓住题干中的关键词语，然后到文中准确地找到与之相关的语句，或是疑似语句的位置，接着去左顾，或右盼，在前句或后句寻找线索。  3.挖掘意义           每年的高考阅读题中，特别是记叙文的阅读题，都会出现一至两道词义猜测题。而这些词汇往往是你素昧平生的，或者和你有点头之交，在文中却另有新意的，总之，猜的是那些在高考词汇表要求之外的词汇。小小的一个词，一个短语，考核的不是你的语法的熟练程度，也不是你的记忆力，而是你对文章通篇或者一个段落的整体把握和变通能力。 【考法归纳】 1.细节理解题 考查对关键词汇、短语和句子的理解能力。要求回答what, why等信息。用到的能力有理解和语义复现。 2.推理判断题 考查考生理解文本特定义群的引申含义的能力。要求回答what ... know about...等信息。用到的能力有分析和判断。 3.词义猜测题 考查根据语境猜测词义的能力。猜测对象有代词、名词、动词、形容词或短语。用到的能力有猜测和合理推断。 4.主旨概括题 考查根据主题语境来概括文章主旨或标题的能力。要用到的能力有分析和概括。 5.写作意图题 设身处地地根据文章内容揣摩作者的态度和意图，根据情节展开想象，这样的话即使是深层理解题也可迎刃而解。 【实用妙招】 1.阅读理解记叙文细节理解题居多，落实“定位原文”和“同义替换”。 2.阅读理解记叙文重视首尾段作用，尤其是标题概括题和写作意图题。 3.猜词词义题注意运用“代入法”“排除法”从逻辑性和褒贬性出发。 4.文章寓意题选项字面意思和言外之意与文章主旨结合，去伪存真。 5.形容词适配题注意原文定位，找到动词或形容词，确定最佳答案。 6.标题概括题既要注意文章线索“点睛”作用，还要注意首尾段呼应， 7.满分策略：读题干→找原文→做标记→留痕迹→看选项→扣字眼。 ( 名校好题速递 ) 速递一：360行业 【插画师】（2025·全国·模拟预测）Newbery Medalist Meg Medina put señora Mimí — her caregiver — in her new children’s book, No More señora Mimí, illustrated by Brittany Cicchese. Cicchese didn’t want to know what señora Mimí looked like. “Because as soon as I read the manuscript (手稿),” she explains, “I just had this picture of who señora Mimí was. I could see her smile and the way she walked. I knew that if I saw a photo, it would change it in some way. And I wanted to catch that initial energy.” In fact, the fictional señora Mimí looks nothing like the real señora Mimí. In the book, señora Mimí is young. She and the little girl in the story, Ana (like a young Meg Medina), wear matching sweaters. They eat buttered biscuits together. Then, Ana’s grandmother is coming to live with her, and Ana finally realizes there will be no more señora Mimí. But señora Mimí makes it clear that she still wants Ana to visit, and Ana is listing all of the things to tell Grandma about señora Mimí, as well as making plans for her and Grandma to visit señora Mimí every afternoon for a snack. Cicchese wanted No More señora Mimí to be a comforting story with lots of warm tones. “You’ll see a lot of light colors like warm yellows and rosy pinks,” she says. Cicchese set the story during autumn, at the start of the school year, since it’s also a time of change. “I think that harmonizes with the story quite nicely.” Meg Medina says señora Mimí stayed a part of her life forever. “I hold a space for her in my heart,” Medina says. “So many people raise kids. There are our parents, of course, and also older sisters, teachers, cousins and neighbors. It’s easy to forget just how many people have a role in helping raise us. It feels good to know that there’s a piece of this story that’s also about these wonderful ones who helped raise me.” 1．What does the underlined part mean in paragraph 2? A．The unique method. B．The powerful effect. C．The inspiring description. D．The original image. 2．What can be inferred about the book? A．Ana is unwilling to see Grandma. B．Señora Mimí gets along well with Ana. C．The story ends with a sad separation. D．Fictional señora Mimí is like the real one. 3．Why does Cicchese apply light colors? A．They reflect a great change of the characters. B．They remind readers of the setting of autumn. C．They correspond to the emotion in the story. D．They stress the role of illustrations in the plot. 4．What is Medina’s purpose of writing the book? A．To record her childhood memories. B．To share her opinions on family. C．To express gratitude to her parents. D．To honor loving people like señora Mimí. 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．C 4．D 【导语】本文是记叙文。文章介绍了Meg Medina的新书No More Señora Mimí，展示了该书的插画师Cicchese如何创作插图，以及Medina对儿时照顾她的Señora Mimí女士的感情。 1．词句猜测题。根据第二段“as soon as I read the manuscript(我一读完手稿)”以及“I just had this picture of who señora Mimí was. I could see her smile and the way she walked. I knew that if I saw a photo, it would change it in some way.(我只知道señora Mimí是谁。我能看到她的微笑和她走路的样子。我知道如果我看到一张照片，它会以某种方式改变它)”可知，她在阅读手稿后，脑海中就浮现出对Señora Mimí的初步印象。所以这里指的是她想抓住在阅读手稿后对Señora Mimí的初始印象。故划线词意思是“最初印象”。故选D。 2．推理判断题。根据第三段“She and the little girl in the story, Ana (like a young Meg Medina), wear matching sweaters. They eat buttered biscuits together.(她和故事中的小女孩Ana（就像年轻时的梅格•麦地那）穿着相配的毛衣。她们一起吃黄油饼干)”以及“But señora Mimí makes it clear that she still wants Ana to visit, and Ana is listing all of the things to tell Grandma about señora Mimí, as well as making plans for her and Grandma to visit señora Mimí every afternoon for a snack.(但是señora Mimí说得很清楚，她仍然想让Ana来，Ana列出了所有要告诉奶奶关于señora Mimí的事情，并为她和奶奶每天下午去señora Mimí吃零食制定了计划)”可知，Señora Mimí和Ana关系很好。故选B。 3．细节理解题。根据第四段““You’ll see a lot of light colors like warm yellows and rosy pinks,” she says. Cicchese set the story during autumn, at the start of the school year, since it’s also a time of change. “I think that harmonizes with the story quite nicely.”(她说：“你会看到很多浅色，比如暖黄和玫瑰粉。”Cicchese将故事设定在秋季，也就是学年开始的时候，因为这也是一个变化的季节。“我认为这与故事非常协调。”)”可知，她用浅颜色是为了与故事的情感相符。故选C。 4．推理判断题。根据第一段“Newbery Medalist Meg Medina put señora Mimí — her caregiver — in her new children’s book, No More señora Mimí, illustrated by Brittany Cicchese.(纽伯瑞奖得主梅格•梅迪纳把señora Mimí——她的看护人——放进了她的新儿童读物《señora Mimí不再》中，插图由布列塔尼•奇切斯绘制)”提到Medina把她的照顾者Señora Mimí写进自己的新童书，第三段介绍了书中Señora Mimí和Ana的温暖的故事，再结合最后一段中的“It feels good to know that there’s a piece of this story that’s also about these wonderful ones who helped raise me.(当我知道这个故事的一部分也是关于这些帮助我长大的人的时候，我感觉很好)”可知，Medina写这本书是为了纪念和感谢像Señora Mimí这样的在儿童成长过程中充当照顾者角色的人。故选D。 【冰淇淋科学家】（2025·全国·模拟预测）Maya Warren provides happiness in ways that people didn’t even know could exist, and she does that through ice cream. As an ice cream scientist, though dealing with it all day, she believes ice cream is full of magic, for it’s always the door leading into a new world she doesn’t expect. Creating ice cream flavors for Warren is an art of using the blank canvas (画布), which she can throw various paints at. Besides, it allows her to travel to different places, and see the world in ways she never would have imagined. “When I tell people what I do, they automatically think I just put flavors in ice cream. They don’t know there’s a whole other part of it before adding flavor. They don’t think about the balancing of a mix, the chemistry and microbiology part, and flavor science that go into ice cream,” says Warren. “There’s so much science going into being an ice cream scientist. It’s one of the most complex foods known to people.” Warren considers it fun to connect science with common knowledge people have about this product they eat so much. Ice cream has the sweetness and fat people long for; it’s cold and the only food people eat that way. The attractiveness is also mental. Almost everyone has memories of being a kid, going to an ice cream truck or grocery store, and getting ice cream, and they’re drawn to things that bring happiness, like those memories of a summer day, eating ice cream with family. It’s the ultimate comfort food. When Warren earned a PhD in food science, she had no clue where it would take her. Then she did the thing engaging her. To young people who’re confused about their career path, Warren says, “If you want to do it, don’t forget to work hard, but have fun along the way. If you don’t know what the choice is for you, take time to reflect or try different things to make sure whatever you do makes your heart pound.” 1．Why does Warren think ice cream magical? A．It represents a form of art. B．It allows her to travel the world. C．It provides happiness secretly. D．It opens up numerous possibilities. 2．What does Warren say about her job? A．It’s very complicated for people. B．People have misinterpretation of it. C．It brings many challenges to her. D．Studying flavor science is its core. 3．What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A．Ice cream’s bond with childhood. B．The composition of ice cream. C．The mental impacts of ice cream. D．Reasons for ice cream’s appeal. 4．What is Warren’s advice to the young in terms of their job? A．Following their passion. B．Doing what they’re good at. C．Reflecting before action. D．Making a determined effort. 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．D 4．A 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了冰淇淋科学家Maya Warren通过冰淇淋传递快乐，并分享了她对工作的热爱与探索。 1．推理判断题。根据第一段“Maya Warren provides happiness in ways that people didn’t even know could exist, and she does that through ice cream. As an ice cream scientist, though dealing with it all day, she believes ice cream is full of magic, for it’s always the door leading into a new world she doesn’t expect. Creating ice cream flavors for Warren is an art of using the blank canvas (画布), which she can throw various paints at. Besides, it allows her to travel to different places, and see the world in ways she never would have imagined.(Maya Warren以人们甚至不知道可能存在的方式提供了幸福，她通过冰淇淋实现了这一点。作为一名冰淇淋科学家，尽管整天与冰淇淋打交道，但她相信冰淇淋充满了魔力，因为它总是通往一个她意想不到的新世界的大门。为沃伦创造冰淇淋口味是一种使用空白画布的艺术，她可以在画布上投掷各种颜料。此外，它还能让她去不同的地方旅行，以她从未想象过的方式看待这个世界)”可知，因为冰淇淋开启了无数的可能性，所以Maya Warren认为冰淇淋很神奇。故选D项。 2．推理判断题。根据第二段““When I tell people what I do, they automatically think I just put flavors in ice cream. They don’t know there’s a whole other part of it before adding flavor. They don’t think about the balancing of a mix, the chemistry and microbiology part, and flavor science that go into ice cream,” says Warren. “There’s so much science going into being an ice cream scientist. It’s one of the most complex foods known to people.” Warren considers it fun to connect science with common knowledge people have about this product they eat so much.(“当我告诉人们我是做什么的时候，他们会自然而然地认为我只是在冰淇淋里加点味道。在加入香料之前，他们不知道还有其他的部分。他们没有考虑混合的平衡，化学和微生物部分，以及冰淇淋的风味科学，”Warren说。“成为一名冰淇淋科学家需要很多科学知识。这是人们所知的最复杂的食物之一。”Warren认为，将科学与人们对这种经常食用的产品的常识联系起来很有趣)”可知，人们对Warren的工作有误解。故选B项。 3．主旨大意题。根据第三段“Ice cream has the sweetness and fat people long for; it’s cold and the only food people eat that way. The attractiveness is also mental. Almost everyone has memories of being a kid, going to an ice cream truck or grocery store, and getting ice cream, and they’re drawn to things that bring happiness, like those memories of a summer day, eating ice cream with family. It’s the ultimate comfort food.(冰淇淋有人们渴望的甜味和脂肪；它很冷，是人们唯一那样吃的食物。这种吸引力也是精神上的。几乎每个人都有小时候去冰淇淋车或杂货店买冰淇淋的回忆，他们被那些能带来快乐的事情所吸引，比如夏天的一天，和家人一起吃冰淇淋的记忆。这是一种终极的安慰食物)”可知，本段主要讲述了冰淇淋吸引人的原因。故选D项。 4．推理判断题。根据最后一段“To young people who’re confused about their career path, Warren says, “If you want to do it, don’t forget to work hard, but have fun along the way. If you don’t know what the choice is for you, take time to reflect or try different things to make sure whatever you do makes your heart pound.”(对于那些对自己的职业道路感到困惑的年轻人，沃伦说：“如果你想做这件事，不要忘记努力工作，但要在此过程中享受乐趣。如果你不知道你的选择是什么，花点时间反思或尝试不同的事情，以确保你所做的任何事情都能让你心跳加速。”)”可知，就工作而言，Warren对年轻人的建议是追随他们的激情。故选A项。 【生态设计师】（24-25高三上·贵州·阶段练习）In the last two years, tennis has taken over our closets, our screens and now — our living rooms, furniture from thrown tennis balls. At least that is the hope of Belgian eco-designer Mathilde Wittock, who fashions furniture from thrown tennis balls. Wittock’s chase longues (躺椅) are entirely cushionless — save for the filling of 500 precisely arranged tennis balls. Her one-meter-long benches are similarly few and far between, with some 270 balls being both stylish and structurally substantial. Around 300 million tennis balls are produced each year — and almost all of them end up in landfills, taking over 400 years to decompose (分解). Wittock estimates the lifecycle of a ball stands at just nine games, depending on the level of tennis being played. It takes Wittock around three to four weeks to build a chair. Every ball is cut and dyed by hand, with colors picked out especially to fit the client’s space. It was through much trial and error that she was able to use the shape of the ball while masking some of its all-too-easily- recognized features. “I needed to find an assembly that changed the iconic appearance of the tennis balls,” she said. “It’s yellow and has these white lines. How do I deal with them?” Wittock started to see the design’s possibilities of the sporting equipment when she was studying at Central Saint Martins, an art school in London. Today, she receives all her materials via donations from tennis clubs. Collections began small — sometimes with just 10 tossed balls at a time — but quickly grew. Now, Wittock works with the Federation of Wallonia in Brussels, who have offered her their entire stock — around 100,000. How long will it last? “It’s enough for a few months,” she said. “If things get wild, maybe it will last nine months. Because I have a rhythm of cutting tennis balls. I can get through 1,800 per week.” 1．Why are the numbers listed in paragraph 2? A．To highlight a waste. B．To promote a product. C．To state the material of furniture. D．To show tennis’ popularity. 2．What function does paragraph 3 act as? A．A background. B．An example. C．A definition. D．A proof. 3．What does Wittock have to do to handle the thrown tennis balls? A．She cleans them cleverly. B．She asks her friends for help. C．She uses their characteristics. D．She adjusts their colors accordingly. 4．What is the last paragraph mainly about? A．Wittock’s work plans. B．Wittock’s stuff sources. C．Wittock’s pride in profits. D．Wittock’s education experience. 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．D 4．B 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章介绍的是比利时生态设计师玛蒂尔德•维托克用仍掉的网球制作家具的事。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段的句子“Wittock’s chaise longues (躺椅) are entirely cushionless—save for the filling of 500 precisely arranged tennis balls. Her one-meter-long benches are similarly few and far between, with some 270 balls being both stylish and structurally substantial.(维托克的长躺椅完全没有垫子——除了装上500个精确排列的网球。她的1米长的板凳同样是罕见的，大约有270个球制成，既时尚又坚固。)”可知，第二段中的数字表明的是维托克制作家具用到的材料数量。故选C项。 2．推理判断题。根据第三段的内容“Around 300 million tennis balls are produced each year—and almost all of them end up in landfills, taking over 400 years to decompose (分解). Wittock estimates the lifecycle of a ball stands at just nine games, depending on the level of tennis being played.(每年大约生产3亿个网球，几乎所有的网球最终都被送到了垃圾填埋场，需要400多年才能分解。维托克估计，一个球的生命周期仅为九场比赛，这取决于网球的水平。)”可知，维托克认为每年有大量的网球被当作垃圾扔掉了，所以，他想到了用网球制作家具，所以第三段是维托克想到用网球制作家具的背景。故选A项。 3．细节理解题。根据第四段的句子“It takes Wittock around three to four weeks to build a chair. Every ball is cut and dyed by hand, with colors picked out especially to fit the client’s space.(维托克制作一把椅子大约需要三到四周的时间。每个球都是手工裁剪和染色的，颜色特别适合客户的空间。)”可知，维托克要根据客户的空间给网球染色。故选D项。 4．主旨大意题。根据最后一段的句子“Today, she receives all her materials via donations from tennis clubs. Collections began small— sometimes with just 10 tossed balls at a time— but quickly grew. Now, Wittock works with the Federation of Wallonia in Brussels, who have offered her their entire stock— around 100,000.(如今，她所有的材料都是通过网球俱乐部的捐赠获得的。起初收集的球很少——有时一次只有10个——但很快就增加了。现在，维托克在布鲁塞尔的瓦隆尼亚联盟工作，他们给了她全部的存货——大约10万。)”可知，最后一段主要讲的是维托克的材料来源。故选B项。 【竹编传承人】（2023·黑龙江佳木斯·一模）Born in Wuzhen in Zhejiang, Qian Lihuai has a unique bond with bamboo and whether it’s in the form of indoor bamboo bonsai or backyard bamboo groves, the material is an essential element in his home. Qian grew up in the village known for its bamboo weaving and after studying industrial design at the Zhejiang University of Science and Technology, he began to develop an interest in the technique, learning how to do it himself. He also traveled widely in Hunan, Hubei, Sichuan and Yunnan provinces to learn local bamboo weaving techniques. “The variations are quite large in amount across the regions, and bamboo weaving comes in a wide arrange of forms. It’s sometimes used to make agricultural tools, sometimes to make daily necessities, and sometimes for artistic purposes.” Qian said. “In Wuzhen, each place focuses on producing a specific item. For instance, our village’s distinguishing feature is in making bamboo trays especially for raising silkworms.” During a visit to a traditional basket maker in Shengzhou, Zhejiang, Qian saw that instead of using nails to fasten the basket together, the craftsman used a slanting (倾斜的) cut on the bamboo to create a precise fit that caused the joint to not be noticed. “I rarely encounter such a level of craftsmanship. He even creates small molds and modifies tools himself to improve the weaving process,” Qian says. During his visits, he was moved by the dedication of the weavers to their craft. These experiences inspired him to return to his hometown of Wuzhen and throw himself into the bamboo weaving industry in 2013. Bamboo techniques he has developed or improved are now widely used in everything from home furnishings to clothing, part of a growing trend toward replacing the use of plastic with bamboo, that demonstrates a continuity of the traditional Chinese culture in which bamboo has long been cherished as a topic for arts and a material for daily objects that we use in our home. 1．Why does he has a special bond with bamboo? A．Because of the living environment. B．Because of university majors. C．Because of his interest. D．Because of his family background. 2．What can we infer from the third paragraph? A．There are cultural differences in different regions. B．Bamboo grows in many places. C．Bamboo weaving techniques have diversity and uniqueness. D．Bamboo weaving techniques are used in raising silkworms. 3．What inspired him to devote himself bamboo weaving industry? A．His bamboo weaving experiences. B．His experience of visiting bamboo weaving craftsmen. C．The rare level of craftsmanship among craftsmen. D．Craftsmen’ s dedication to bamboo weaving. 4．What can be the best title for the text? A．Weaving the wonder of bamboo. B．Development of Bamboo techniques. C．Bamboo woven items at home.

During his 60 years’ career, he has recorded more than 2,000 records, and he has no plan on slowing down. “Age has not made me think slower,” Mr Smith says. “And it has not made me refuse gigs. What it has made me do is be thankful that I got this far playing an instrument with four strings.” On May 10, 2022, For the Love of Mr Smith and Friends took place at Carnegie Hall, which was a one-night 85th birthday celebration. Mr Smith led three different bands performing highlights from his career. Born in Ferndale, Michigan in 1937, Mr Smith started to play the cello (大提琴) at the age of 10, but switched to bass in high school because he claimed opportunities were limited for black musicians to play classical music. He studied at the Eastman School of Music, and then went on to get his master’s degree at the Manhattan School of Music. By the time he was 25, he was one of the most popular players in jazz. Mr Smith’s most historic recordings came in the 1960s as the bassist in the second great Mr Miles. He says the band — with Mr Miles on trumpet; Mr Coleman and then Mr Wayne on saxophone, Mr Hancock on piano, and Mr Williamson on drums — never rehearsed (排练) before recording. And Mr Smith has certainly helped a lot of musicians get better. Bassist Mr Clarke says that in the last 50 years, Mr Smith has been “the most important bass player”. “I remember as a young kid, I used to get his records,” Mr Clarke recalls. “I could tell he was very, very professional because the consistency was there from record to record; his sound, his ability, and then his flow.” 1．How many records did Mr Smith record each year on average? A．About 330. B．About 33. C．About 2,000. D．About 50. 2．What does the underlined word “gigs” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A．Gifts. B．Goods. C．Instruments. D．Performances. 3．Why did Mr Smith begin to play bass in high school? A．To widen his music path. B．To become famous worldwide. C．To go after his love for bass. D．To fight for rights for black musicians. 4．What does Mr Clarke think of Mr Smith? A．Attractive. B．Demanding. C．Admirable. D．Adventurous. 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．A 4．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要介绍的是爵士乐史上多产且具影响力的贝斯手Mr Smith，及其对音乐界的贡献与影响。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段中的“During his 60 years’ career, he has recorded more than 2,000 records, and he has no plan on slowing down.(在他60年的职业生涯中，他已经录制了2000多张唱片，他没有计划放慢脚步)”可知，Mr Smith在60年的职业生涯中录了2,000多张唱片，每年约33张。故选B项。 2．词句猜测题。根据划线单词后的“What it has made me do is be thankful that I got this far playing an instrument with four strings.(它让我感恩的是，我能演奏一种只有四根弦的乐器走到今天)”可知，他所感激的是能演奏一种只有四根弦的乐器到现在，结合划线单词前的““Age has not made me think slower,” Mr Smith says.(“年龄并没有让我的思维变慢，”史密斯说)”可知，年龄没有让他思维变慢，由此可知，此处指的是年龄没有让他拒绝“表演”符合语境，所以划线单词的意思与“表演”意义相近。故选D项。 3．推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Born in Ferndale, Michigan in 1937, Mr Smith started to play the cello (大提琴) at the age of 10, but switched to bass in high school because he claimed opportunities were limited for black musicians to play classical music.(史密斯于1937年出生于密歇根州的芬代尔，10岁时开始演奏大提琴，但在高中时转而演奏贝斯，因为他声称黑人音乐家演奏古典音乐的机会有限)”可知，Mr Smith认为当时黑人音乐家演奏古典音乐的机会有限，所以在高中时转向了贝斯以拓宽他的音乐之路。故选A项。 4．推理判断题。根据尾段中的““I remember as a young kid, I used to get his records,” Mr Clarke recalls. “I could tell he was very, very professional because the consistency was there from record to record; his sound, his ability, and then his flow.”(“我记得小时候，我常常买他的唱片，”克拉克先生回忆说。“我能感觉到他非常、非常专业，因为从一张唱片到另一张唱片，他的声音、能力以及他的流畅度都保持了一致性。”)”可知，Mr Clarke认为Mr Smith非常非常专业，从小经常去买他的唱片，由此可知，Mr Clarke应该是很崇拜Mr Smith。故选C项。 （24-25高三上·安徽阜阳·阶段练习）Howard Schultz wasn’t the first person to be carried away by the pleasant smell of a well-roasted coffee bean. But the Starbucks Coffee Co. leader was undoubtedly the first to turn that dream into a billion-dollar retail business. Schultz’s adventure started in 1981 when he traveled from New York to Seattle to check out a popular coffee bean store called “Starbucks”. It had been buying many of the Hammarplast Swedish drip coffeemakers he was selling. There was that great smell, sure, but what caused him to fall in love with the business was the care the Starbucks owners put into choosing and roasting the beans. He was also impressed with the owners’ devotion to educating the public about the wonders of the coffee. It took Schultz a year to convince the Starbucks owners to hire him. When they finally made him director of marketing and operations in 1982, he had another idea. This one occurred in Italy, when Schultz noticed the coffee bars that existed on almost every block. He learned that they not only served excellent espressos, they also served as meeting places or public squares, and there were 200,000 of them in the country. But when he came back to Seattle, the Starbucks owners resisted Schultz’s plans to serve coffee in the stores, saying the restaurant business was competitive, and it was costly to hire waiters. After all, economic benefits were their primary motivator. Frustrated, Schultz quit and started his own coffee bar business in 1987, named “Il Giornale”. It was successful, and two years later, the original Starbucks management sold its Starbucks retail unit to Schultz for $3.8 million. As the company began to expand rapidly in the 1990s, Schultz always said that the main goal was “to serve a great cup of coffee”. Asked about the secret of his success, Schultz told us the principles: “Don’t be threatened by people smarter than you. Compromise anything but your core values.” 1．What caused Schultz to join the Starbucks? A．The pleasant smell of its coffee bean. B．His strong desire to improve himself. C．The owners’ impressive work attitude. D．His eagerness to sell more coffeemakers. 2．Why did the Starbucks owners refuse to serve coffee in the stores? A．Many coffee bars had existed in Seattle. B．People preferred tasting coffee at home. C．They tried to avoid high cost of labor force. D．Their coffee was already popular on the market. 3．Which of the following can best describe Schultz? A．Committed and generous. B．Sociable and helpful. C．Motivated and considerate. D．Determined and creative. 4．What was Schultz’s business principle? A．Learn from smarter people. B．Stick to one’s own core values. C．Keep one’s business a secret. D．Remember a set of regulations. 【答案】1．C 2．C 3．D 4．B 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了星巴克创始人舒尔茨与星巴克的故事。 1．细节理解题。根据第三段第一句“There was that great smell, sure, but what caused him to fall in love with the business was the care the Starbucks owners put into choosing and roasting the beans.(当然，那里有很棒的气味，但让他爱上这项业务的是星巴克店主在挑选和烘焙咖啡豆时所投入的精力。)”可知，星巴克店主令人印象深刻的工作态度让舒尔茨加入了星巴克。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据第五段“But when he came back to Seattle, the Starbucks owners resisted Schultz’s plans to serve coffee in the stores, saying the restaurant business was competitive, and it was costly to hire waiters. After all, economic benefits were their primary motivator.(但是，当他回到西雅图时，星巴克店主们抵制了舒尔茨在店里提供咖啡服务的计划，他们说餐饮业竞争激烈，而且雇佣服务员的成本很高。毕竟，经济利益是他们的主要动力。)”可知，星巴克店主拒绝在店里提供咖啡服务是因为他们试图避免高昂的劳动力成本。故选C。 3．推理判断题。根据第四段“It took Schultz a year to convince the Starbucks owners to hire him. When they finally made him director of marketing and operations in 1982, he had another idea. This one occurred in Italy, when Schultz noticed the coffee bars that existed on almost every block. He learned that they not only served excellent espressos, they also served as meeting places or public squares, and there were 200,000 of them in the country.( 舒尔茨花了一年时间才说服星巴克店主雇佣他。1982年，当他们终于任命他为市场营销和运营总监时，他又有了一个新的想法。这个想法是在意大利萌生的，当时舒尔茨注意到几乎每个街区都有咖啡店。他了解到，这些咖啡店不仅提供优质的意式浓缩咖啡，还作为聚会场所或公共广场，全国共有20万家这样的咖啡店。)”和第五段“Frustrated, Schultz quit and started his own coffee bar business in 1987, named “Il Giornale”. It was successful, and two years later, the original Starbucks management sold its Starbucks retail unit to Schultz for $3.8 million.(深感沮丧的舒尔茨于1987年辞职，并创办了自己的咖啡店业务，名为“Il Giornale”。这家店非常成功，两年后，原来的星巴克管理层以380万美元的价格将其星巴克零售部门卖给了舒尔茨。)”可知，文章讲述了舒尔茨从对星巴克产生兴趣，到加入星巴克，再到因意见不合离开星巴克创办自己的咖啡店，最后收购星巴克并将其发展壮大的过程。根据这个过程可知，舒尔茨是一个有决心和创造力的人。故选D。 4．细节理解题。根据最后一段最后一句“Asked about the secret of his success, Schultz told us the principles: ‘Don’t be threatened by people smarter than you. Compromise anything but your core values’.(当被问及他成功的秘诀时，舒尔茨告诉我们他的原则：‘不要被比你聪明的人威胁。除了你的核心价值观，其他都可以妥协’)”可知，舒尔茨的商业原则是坚持自己的核心价值观。故选B。 （24-25高三上·湖南长沙·阶段练习）If you love art then, “Picasso” is going to speak a lot.

Cherry, lies on a carpet on the floor in her home, looking into the distance. She holds a book open on a page seemingly about art. Behind her, the walls are entirely covered in decorated textiles (织物) with colourful shapes and patterns. In front of her is her young daughter, the now multi-award-winning singer-songwriter Neneh Cherry, sitting near her and pointing in the direction Moki is looking at.

The oxygen level is less than 40 percent, the annual average temperature -7°C and the average life expectancy only 49.5 years. The area of the township is about 1,500 square kilometers. The distance from the county town is some 70 km and a single trip to all the six villages can be as long as 160 km. In 2005, Tsering Chopa became the first mailman of his hometown. In nearly two decades since his first mission, he has delivered over a million newspapers, more than 20,000 letters and 10,000-plus parcels in Pumachangthang, and has never been accused of failing or mixing up mail. One night, a local resident Nyima Tsering’s daughter had fainted and desperately needed help. Knowing that, the mailman arranged for a car right away and sent her to the county hospital. He also gave some cash to the family for the girl’s treatment. Nyima Tsering’s daughter recovered soon, and Tsering Chopa became an idol in the village. The busiest time for Tsering Chopa is between July and August each year, when students are waiting for their admission letters from various universities. He recalls once he had to deliver mail to one student whose family had already moved away. He had to ask neighbors several times to find the new address. It was summer and the usual road to the village was blocked because of rain. He trekked for more than 20 km and struggled with shortness of breath all the way to finally deliver the letter. In 2019, Tsering Chopa received the China Youth May Fourth Medal. “It is an acknowledgment of what I do and a token of encouragement as well,” he says. “And I want to help more people living in remote areas. I want to bring the world closer to them and take them closer to the world.” 1．What does the data in paragraph 2 imply? A．The achievements Tsering Chopa has gotten as a postman. B．The disasters Tsering Chopa experienced in his childhood. C．The contributions Tsering Chopa has made for his hometown. D．The challenges for Tsering Chopa to deliver mail in Pumachangthang. 2．How did Tsering Chopa help Nyima Tsering’s daughter? A．By donating a car to her family. B．By making her hospitalized in time. C．By lending money to her family. D．By performing an operation for her. 3．Which of the following words can best describe Tsering Chopa? A．Selfless and determined. B．Brave and confident. C．Optimistic and humorous. D．Creative and generous. 4．Why did Tsering Chopa devote himself to delivering mail? A．To win respect and admiration form the villagers. B．To improve the living conditions of his hometown. C．To further link his hometown to the rest of the world. D．To encourage more poor students to go to universities. 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．A 4．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。这篇文章讲述了西藏地区一个高海拔的边远乡镇Pumachangthang的邮递员Tsering Chopa在艰苦的条件下长时间跋涉送信的故事。 1．推理判断题。根据第二段中一系列数据“5,373 meters above sea level”（海拔5373米）；“The oxygen level is less than 40 percent”（氧含量低于40%）；“the annual average temperature -7°C and the average life expectancy only 49.5 years.”（年平均气温-7℃，平均寿命只有49.5岁）；“The area of the township is about 1,500 square kilometers.”（全乡面积约1500平方公里）；“The distance from the county town is some 70 km and a single trip to all the six villages can be as long as 160 km.”（到县城的距离约为70公里，到所有六个村庄的单程路程可能长达160公里）可推断出，Tsering Chopa的家乡自然条件非常艰苦，他的工作有非常大的挑战性。故选D项。 2．细节理解题。根据第四段中“Knowing that, the mailman arranged for a car right away and sent her to the county hospital. He also gave some cash to the family for the girl’s treatment. ”( Tsering Chopa知道了，马上安排了一辆车，把她送到了县医院。他还给了女孩的家人一些现金作为治疗费用。)可知，Tsering Chopa帮忙安排车把Nyima Tsering的女儿及时送到医院救治。故选B项。 3．推理判断题。根据第一段“Rain or shine, Tsering Chopa treks for long hours to deliver mail. For 18 years, the Tibetan mailman has been a vital link between the remote town and the rest of the world.”（无论天晴还是下雨，Tsering Chopa都要长途跋涉好几个小时去投递邮件。18年来，这位西藏邮差一直是这个偏远小镇与世界其他地方之间的重要纽带。）可推断出Tsering Chopa是一位意志力坚定的人；结合第四段讲述他帮助当地一个生病的孩子及时就医，以及第五段经历重重困难才把一封录取通知书送到一个学生手里等事情推知，他是一个大公无私的人。故选A项。 4．细节理解题。根据最后一段“he says. “And I want to help more people living in remote areas. I want to bring the world closer to them and take them closer to the world.””（他说。“我想帮助更多生活在偏远地区的人。我想让世界离他们更近，让他们离世界更近。”）可知，Tsering Chopa一直奉献在这个岗位上，就是想让他家乡的人们与世界有更多的联系。故选C项。 （23-24高一上·甘肃兰州·阶段练习）Rain or shine, Tsering Chopa treks (艰苦跋涉) for long hours to deliver mail. For 18 years, the Tibetan mailman has been an important link between a remote, high-altitude settlement and the rest of the world. At 5,373 meters above sea level, Pumachangthang in Nakarze county of the Xizang autonomous region is China’s highest township(乡镇). The oxygen level is less than 40 percent and the annual average temperature is –7℃ . However, these weren’t the biggest challenges for a postal service. The area of the township is about 1,500 square kilometers, but its population is less than 2,000. The distance from the county town is some 70 km and a single trip to all the six villages can be as long as 160 km. The dogged perseverance required to get the job done under such conditions needs no further explanation. The busiest time for Tsering Chopa is between July and August each year, when students are waiting for their admission letters from various universities. He recalls once he had to deliver mail to one student whose family had already moved away. He had to quiz neighbors several times to find the new address. It was summer and the usual road to the village was blocked because of rain. He trekked for more than 20 km and grappled with shortness of breath all the way to finally deliver the letter. “I don’t mind the hardships because it is not easy for students from remote villages to get college admission. It was my duty to deliver the mail on time,” he says. One night in February 2019, a local resident Nyima Tsering’s daughter had fainted and desperately needed help. Knowing that, the mailman arranged for a car right away and sent her to the county hospital. He also gave some cash to the family for the girl’s treatment. Nyima Tsering’s daughter recovered soon, and Tsering Chopa became an idol in the village. “I will never forget his compassion and kindness,” says the grateful father. In 2019, Tsering Chopa received the China Youth May Fourth Medal. “It is an acknowledgment of what I do and a token of encouragement as well,” he says. “And I want to help more people living in remote areas. I want to bring the world closer to them and take them closer to the world.” 1．Which is the most challenging part of Tsering Chopa’s work? A．Trekking for long distances. B．Suffering from cold temperatures. C．Standing extremely bad road conditions. D．Adapting to the high-altitude environment. 2．What words can best describe Tsering Chopa according to paragraph 2? A．Optimistic and cautious. B．Generous and intelligent. C．Courageous and ambitious. D．Persistent and responsible. 3．How did Tsering Chopa help Nyima Tsering? A．Tsering Chopa fixed his car for free. B．Tsering Chopa saved his daughter’s life. C．Tsering Chopa delivered his admission letters quickly. D．Tsering Chopa drove him to a hospital for treatment. 4．What is the best title for the text? A．Hardship Makes a Good Postman B．A Mailman Shows Kindness to Students C．A Postman in Tiebet Bridges Huge Gap D．Post Service Creates a Convenient Life 【答案】1．A 2．D 3．B 4．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。这篇文章讲述了西藏地区一个高海拔的边远乡镇Pumachangthang的邮递员Tsering Chopa在艰苦的条件下长时间跋涉送信的故事。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段中“Rain or shine, Tsering Chopa treks (艰苦跋涉) for long hours to deliver mail. (无论晴雨，Tsering Chopa都要长途跋涉好几个小时去投递邮件。)”；“The area of the township is about 1,500 square kilometers, but its population is less than 2,000. The distance from the county town is some 70 km and a single trip to all the six villages can be as long as 160 km. The dogged perseverance required to get the job done under such conditions needs no further explanation.(这个乡镇的面积约为1,500平方公里，但人口不到2,000人。距离县城大约70公里，到所有六个村庄的单程距离可能长达160公里。在这种条件下完成工作所需的坚持不懈是不言而喻的。)”可知，Tsering Chopa到所有六个村庄的单程距离可能长达160公里，因此工作最艰难的部分是需要长途跋涉完成投递送信。故选A。 2．推理判断题。根据第二段中“He recalls once he had to deliver mail to one student whose family had already moved away. He had to quiz neighbors several times to find the new address. (他回忆说，有一次他不得不给一个家庭已经搬走的学生送邮件。他不得不询问邻居好几次才找到新地址。)”；“He trekked for more than 20 km and grappled with shortness of breath all the way to finally deliver the letter. (他跋涉了20多公里，一路上呼吸急促，终于把信送到了目的地。)”以及“I don’t mind the hardships because it is not easy for students from remote villages to get college admission. It was my duty to deliver the mail on time(我不介意这些困难，因为对于来自偏远农村的学生来说，获得大学录取并不容易。按时送信是我的职责。)”可知，本段主要讲述了Tsering Chopa长途跋涉，经过多番努力终于把一封信送到了一个家庭已经搬走的学生，同时Tsering Chopa表达说不论困难如何，按时送信是他的工作职责，由此推断出Tsering Chopa是有毅力，有责任心。故选D。 3．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“Knowing that, the mailman arranged for a car right away and sent her to the county hospital. He also gave some cash to the family for the girl’s treatment. Nyima Tsering’s daughter recovered soon, and Tsering Chopa became an idol in the village.( Tsering Chopa知道了，马上安排了一辆车，把她送到了县医院。他还给了女孩的家人一些现金作为治疗费用。Nyima Tsering的女儿很快就康复了，Tsering Chopa也成了村里的偶像。)”可知，Tsering Chopa帮忙救Nyima Tsering女儿的命。故选B。 4．主旨大意题。通读全文，文章讲述的是这篇文章讲述了西藏地区一个高海拔的边远乡镇Pumachangthang的邮递员Tsering Chopa在艰苦的条件下长时间跋涉送信的故事。C选项“A Postman in Tiebet Bridges Huge Gap(西藏邮差弥合巨大鸿沟)”概括文章的主题，适合文章标题。故选C。 （2024·湖南郴州·三模）The job description of a postman doesn’t always include travelling through thick forests, fast-flowing waters and occasionally being run after by wild animals, but for D．Sivan, that is exactly what it is. Every day for 30 years, this humble postman has been delivering post to some of the most remote villages in Coonoor which are inaccessible by road. Carrying the mail, he walks along the Nilgiri Mountain Railway track, walking through thick forests, crossing slippery streams and walking on railway bridges. Having travelled through the difficult path for 30 years, Mr. Sivan has grown fond of the wild animals he encounters on his daily walks, going so far as to say that they’ve all become his friends. But even his friends have occasionally caused him some trouble, with an elephant once having run after him. He was saved by a truck driver who spotted him and honked at the elephant. The animals recognize him now, though. As the years rolled by, emails started replacing letter writing. And as more and more people moved from the Nilgiri hills to the plains-the towns of Mettupalayam and Coimbatore, Sivan’s bag became lighter and lighter every day. Many weeks he ended up carrying just 3-4 letter to each village. One day Sivan noticed that a man to whom he was supposed to deliver his pension had moved to Coimbatore. The man had fallen very sick and was hospitalized. Sivan tracked down the hospital, travelled 80 kms by bus and later car, and delivered the pension. The kind postman even paid for the whole trip himself! Not all heroes wear a cape(披风);some have white hair and carry a simple bag full of letters. Not all heroes write cool stories on Instagram; some just sit outside a door and read out a son’s letter to his mother. 1．Which of the following best describes Sivan’s daily delivery journey? A．Awkward. B．Comfortable. C．Adventurous. D．Uneventful. 2．What do the underlined words “his friends” in paragraph 2 refer to? A．Postmen. B．Truck drivers. C．Wild animals. D．Villagers in Coonoor. 3．Why did Sivan travel to Coimbatore? A．To send a pension check. B．To enjoy a trip to the plains. C．To get hospital treatment. D．To draw his pension. 4．Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A．Letters or emails B．The world’s busiest postman C．The postal service in Coonoor D．Capeless hero with a bag 【答案】1．C 2．C 3．A 4．D 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了邮递员Sivan三十多年来背着装满信件的背包给别人送信的故事。 1．推理判断题。根据文章第一段“The job description of a postman doesn’t always include travelling through thick forests, fast-flowing waters and occasionally being run after by wild animals, but for D. Sivan, that is exactly what it is.(邮递员的工作描述并不总是要穿越茂密的森林、湍急的水流，偶尔还会被野生动物追赶，但对西万来说，这就是他的工作。)”可知，Sivan邮递员的工作不仅要穿越茂密的森林、湍急的河流，偶尔还会被野生动物追赶，说明他的工作很冒险。故选C项。 2．词义猜测题。根据文章第二段中的“Having travelled through the difficult path for 30 years, Mr. Sivan has grown fond of the wild animals he encounters on his daily walks, going so far as to say that they’ve all become his friends.(在这条艰难的道路上走了30年，西万先生越来越喜欢他每天散步时遇到的野生动物，甚至说它们都成为了他的朋友。)”可知，Sivan越来越喜欢他每天遇到的野生动物，甚至说它们已经成了他的朋友。由此可知，his friends指的是那些野生动物。故选C项。 3．细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段中的“One day Sivan noticed that a man to whom he was supposed to deliver his pension had moved to Coimbatore. The man had fallen very sick and was hospitalized. Sivan tracked down the hospital, travelled 80 kms by bus and later car, and delivered the pension.(一天，西万注意到一个本该交给他养老金的人搬到了哥印拜陀。这个人病得很重，住进了医院。西万找到了医院，坐了80公里的公交车，后来又开车，把养老金送到了医院。)”可知，Sivan去Coimbatore是为了给别人送养老金。故选A项。 4．主旨大意题。根据文章内容及最后一段“Not all heroes wear a cape(披风);some have white hair and carry a simple bag full of letters. Not all heroes write cool stories on Instagram; some just sit outside a door and read out a son’s letter to his mother.(并非所有的英雄都有披风，有些英雄白发苍苍，背着一个简单的装满信件的袋子。并不是所有的英雄都会在Instagram上写很酷的故事；有些人只是坐在门外，朗读儿子写给母亲的信。)”可知，本文主要介绍了平凡英雄Sivan三十多年来，每天背着装满信件的袋子给别人送信的故事。D项“Capeless hero with a bag(背着包的无斗篷英雄)”最能概括本文内容。故选D项。 $$ 2025年1月“八省联考”英语真题完全解读与考后提升 专题02 阅读理解B篇 (解读+词汇+变式+技巧+模拟) 原卷版 目 录 原题呈现 1 2024真题 3 考点变式 5 解题指导（记叙文） 8 速递一：360行业 10 速递二：杰出人物 12 速递三：邮政风情 17 ( 原题呈现 ) 真题变式方向：词形转换，高频词快，杰出人物，人物传记，崛起新行业，和睦社区 阅读理解关键词：记叙文，人与社会，怀念退休33年的邮递员，杰出人物，360行业，和谐社区 Jim Johnson, a mail carrier, was an institution in the leafy Westmoreland, Westhaven and Westover Hills neighborhoods, just north of downtown Wilmington, where he delivered much more than the mail. He knew all the kids and their pets by name; he carried in the groceries; he took note of unlocked doors, offered gardening advice, and taught more than a few young boys the art of the curveball. When he wasn't doing all that, Jim was running across a checkerboard of green lawns (草坪) to ensure the local postal service did not fall short of its daily promise. Though the postal service is often disparaged now, the trust in local postal service lives on. In many communities, that trust is won every day when life-saving medicine, greeting cards, social security checks, college acceptance letters-even the bills-appear in mailboxes in front of the houses. After more than three decades, Jim approached his final days on the job much like any other. He drove a boxy postal truck to North DuPont Road for the first unofficial stop of the day. Butch, a dog who belonged to one of the neighbors, was waiting just like every day before. And just like every day before, he got into the jump seat and they were off. On the route, Jim and Butch had become inseparable. Now, the dog and the mailman would ride off to retirement together. At every stop, Jim accepted the parting good wishes of families that had become his own. There were tears and laughter, and hugs filled with warm memories. It’s been 33 years since Jim left the route, but we are still reminded of the deep bond established between community and letter carrier. That’s what the postal service means to us. 24. What do we know about Jim Johnson from the first paragraph? A. He's open-minded. B. He's sharp-eyed. C. He's warm-hearted. D. He's strong-willed. 25. What does the underlined word “disparaged” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Refused. B. Criticized. C. Investigated. D. Suspended. 26. What did Jim do besides daily delivery on his final days of work? A. He drove Butch to its owner. B. He sent presents to his friends. C. He prepared a retirement party. D. He said goodbye to the neighbors. 27. What is the author's purpose in writing the text? A. To remember a respected mail carrier. B. To record an unforgettable experience. C. To raise funds for the postal service. D. To call for harmony in the community.

That’s __________ the postal service means to us. Do you ever get to the train station and realize you forgot to bring something to read? Yes, we all have our phones, but many of us still like to go old school and read something printed. Well, there’s a kiosk (小亭) for that. In the San Francisco Bay Area, at least. “You enter the fare gates (检票口) and you’ll see a kiosk that is lit up and it tells you can get a one-minute, a three-minute, or a five-minute story,” says Alicia Trost, the chief communications officer for the San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit — known as BART. “You choose which length you want and it gives you a receipt-like short story.” It’s that simple. Riders have printed nearly 20,000 short stories and poems since the program was launched last March. Some are classic short stories, and some are new original works. Trost also wants to introduce local writers to local riders. “We wanted to do something where we do a call to artists in the Bay Area to submit stories for a contest,” Trost says. “And as of right now, we’ve received about 120 submissions. The winning stories would go into our kiosk and then you would be a published artist.” Ridership on transit (交通) systems across the country has been down the past half century, so could short stories save transit? Trost thinks so. “At the end of the day all transit agencies right now are doing everything they can to improve the rider experience. So I absolutely think we will get more riders just because of short stories,” she says. And you’ll never be without something to read. 24. Why did BART start the kiosk program? A. To promote the local culture. B. To discourage phone use. C. To meet passengers’ needs. D. To reduce its running costs. 25. How are the stories categorized in the kiosk? A. By popularity. B. By length. C. By theme. D. By language. 26. What has Trost been doing recently? A. Organizing a story contest. B. Doing a survey of customers. C. Choosing a print publisher. D. Conducting interviews with artists. 27. What is Trost’s opinion about BART’s future? A. It will close down. B. Its profits will decline. C. It will expand nationwide. D. Its ridership will increase.

Cicchese didn’t want to know what señora Mimí looked like. “Because as soon as I read the manuscript (手稿),” she explains, “I just had this picture of who señora Mimí was. I could see her smile and the way she walked. I knew that if I saw a photo, it would change it in some way. And I wanted to catch that initial energy.” In fact, the fictional señora Mimí looks nothing like the real señora Mimí. In the book, señora Mimí is young. She and the little girl in the story, Ana (like a young Meg Medina), wear matching sweaters. They eat buttered biscuits together. Then, Ana’s grandmother is coming to live with her, and Ana finally realizes there will be no more señora Mimí. But señora Mimí makes it clear that she still wants Ana to visit, and Ana is listing all of the things to tell Grandma about señora Mimí, as well as making plans for her and Grandma to visit señora Mimí every afternoon for a snack. Cicchese wanted No More señora Mimí to be a comforting story with lots of warm tones. “You’ll see a lot of light colors like warm yellows and rosy pinks,” she says. Cicchese set the story during autumn, at the start of the school year, since it’s also a time of change. “I think that harmonizes with the story quite nicely.” Meg Medina says señora Mimí stayed a part of her life forever. “I hold a space for her in my heart,” Medina says. “So many people raise kids. There are our parents, of course, and also older sisters, teachers, cousins and neighbors. It’s easy to forget just how many people have a role in helping raise us. It feels good to know that there’s a piece of this story that’s also about these wonderful ones who helped raise me.” 1．What does the underlined part mean in paragraph 2? A．The unique method. B．The powerful effect. C．The inspiring description. D．The original image. 2．What can be inferred about the book? A．Ana is unwilling to see Grandma. B．Señora Mimí gets along well with Ana. C．The story ends with a sad separation. D．Fictional señora Mimí is like the real one. 3．Why does Cicchese apply light colors? A．They reflect a great change of the characters. B．They remind readers of the setting of autumn. C．They correspond to the emotion in the story. D．They stress the role of illustrations in the plot. 4．What is Medina’s purpose of writing the book?

D．To honor loving people like señora Mimí. 【冰淇淋科学家】（2025·全国·模拟预测）Maya Warren provides happiness in ways that people didn’t even know could exist, and she does that through ice cream. As an ice cream scientist, though dealing with it all day, she believes ice cream is full of magic, for it’s always the door leading into a new world she doesn’t expect. Creating ice cream flavors for Warren is an art of using the blank canvas (画布), which she can throw various paints at. Besides, it allows her to travel to different places, and see the world in ways she never would have imagined. “When I tell people what I do, they automatically think I just put flavors in ice cream. They don’t know there’s a whole other part of it before adding flavor. They don’t think about the balancing of a mix, the chemistry and microbiology part, and flavor science that go into ice cream,” says Warren. “There’s so much science going into being an ice cream scientist. It’s one of the most complex foods known to people.” Warren considers it fun to connect science with common knowledge people have about this product they eat so much. Ice cream has the sweetness and fat people long for; it’s cold and the only food people eat that way. The attractiveness is also mental. Almost everyone has memories of being a kid, going to an ice cream truck or grocery store, and getting ice cream, and they’re drawn to things that bring happiness, like those memories of a summer day, eating ice cream with family. It’s the ultimate comfort food. When Warren earned a PhD in food science, she had no clue where it would take her. Then she did the thing engaging her. To young people who’re confused about their career path, Warren says, “If you want to do it, don’t forget to work hard, but have fun along the way. If you don’t know what the choice is for you, take time to reflect or try different things to make sure whatever you do makes your heart pound.” 1．Why does Warren think ice cream magical? A．It represents a form of art. B．It allows her to travel the world. C．It provides happiness secretly. D．It opens up numerous possibilities. 2．What does Warren say about her job? A．It’s very complicated for people. B．People have misinterpretation of it. C．It brings many challenges to her. D．Studying flavor science is its core. 3．What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A．Ice cream’s bond with childhood. B．The composition of ice cream. C．The mental impacts of ice cream. D．Reasons for ice cream’s appeal. 4．What is Warren’s advice to the young in terms of their job?

D．Making a determined effort. 【生态设计师】（24-25高三上·贵州·阶段练习）In the last two years, tennis has taken over our closets, our screens and now — our living rooms, furniture from thrown tennis balls. At least that is the hope of Belgian eco-designer Mathilde Wittock, who fashions furniture from thrown tennis balls. Wittock’s chase longues (躺椅) are entirely cushionless — save for the filling of 500 precisely arranged tennis balls. Her one-meter-long benches are similarly few and far between, with some 270 balls being both stylish and structurally substantial. Around 300 million tennis balls are produced each year — and almost all of them end up in landfills, taking over 400 years to decompose (分解). Wittock estimates the lifecycle of a ball stands at just nine games, depending on the level of tennis being played. It takes Wittock around three to four weeks to build a chair. Every ball is cut and dyed by hand, with colors picked out especially to fit the client’s space. It was through much trial and error that she was able to use the shape of the ball while masking some of its all-too-easily- recognized features. “I needed to find an assembly that changed the iconic appearance of the tennis balls,” she said. “It’s yellow and has these white lines. How do I deal with them?” Wittock started to see the design’s possibilities of the sporting equipment when she was studying at Central Saint Martins, an art school in London. Today, she receives all her materials via donations from tennis clubs. Collections began small — sometimes with just 10 tossed balls at a time — but quickly grew. Now, Wittock works with the Federation of Wallonia in Brussels, who have offered her their entire stock — around 100,000. How long will it last? “It’s enough for a few months,” she said. “If things get wild, maybe it will last nine months. Because I have a rhythm of cutting tennis balls. I can get through 1,800 per week.” 1．Why are the numbers listed in paragraph 2? A．To highlight a waste. B．To promote a product. C．To state the material of furniture. D．To show tennis’ popularity. 2．What function does paragraph 3 act as? A．A background. B．An example. C．A definition. D．A proof. 3．What does Wittock have to do to handle the thrown tennis balls? A．She cleans them cleverly. B．She asks her friends for help. C．She uses their characteristics. D．She adjusts their colors accordingly. 4．What is the last paragraph mainly about? A．Wittock’s work plans. B．Wittock’s stuff sources. C．Wittock’s pride in profits. D．Wittock’s education experience. 【竹编传承人】（2023·黑龙江佳木斯·一模）Born in Wuzhen in Zhejiang, Qian Lihuai has a unique bond with bamboo and whether it’s in the form of indoor bamboo bonsai or backyard bamboo groves, the material is an essential element in his home. Qian grew up in the village known for its bamboo weaving and after studying industrial design at the Zhejiang University of Science and Technology, he began to develop an interest in the technique, learning how to do it himself. He also traveled widely in Hunan, Hubei, Sichuan and Yunnan provinces to learn local bamboo weaving techniques. “The variations are quite large in amount across the regions, and bamboo weaving comes in a wide arrange of forms. It’s sometimes used to make agricultural tools, sometimes to make daily necessities, and sometimes for artistic purposes.” Qian said. “In Wuzhen, each place focuses on producing a specific item. For instance, our village’s distinguishing feature is in making bamboo trays especially for raising silkworms.” During a visit to a traditional basket maker in Shengzhou, Zhejiang, Qian saw that instead of using nails to fasten the basket together, the craftsman used a slanting (倾斜的) cut on the bamboo to create a precise fit that caused the joint to not be noticed. “I rarely encounter such a level of craftsmanship. He even creates small molds and modifies tools himself to improve the weaving process,” Qian says. During his visits, he was moved by the dedication of the weavers to their craft. These experiences inspired him to return to his hometown of Wuzhen and throw himself into the bamboo weaving industry in 2013. Bamboo techniques he has developed or improved are now widely used in everything from home furnishings to clothing, part of a growing trend toward replacing the use of plastic with bamboo, that demonstrates a continuity of the traditional Chinese culture in which bamboo has long been cherished as a topic for arts and a material for daily objects that we use in our home. 1．Why does he has a special bond with bamboo? A．Because of the living environment. B．Because of university majors. C．Because of his interest. D．Because of his family background. 2．What can we infer from the third paragraph? A．There are cultural differences in different regions. B．Bamboo grows in many places. C．Bamboo weaving techniques have diversity and uniqueness. D．Bamboo weaving techniques are used in raising silkworms. 3．What inspired him to devote himself bamboo weaving industry? A．His bamboo weaving experiences.

During his 60 years’ career, he has recorded more than 2,000 records, and he has no plan on slowing down. “Age has not made me think slower,” Mr Smith says. “And it has not made me refuse gigs. What it has made me do is be thankful that I got this far playing an instrument with four strings.” On May 10, 2022, For the Love of Mr Smith and Friends took place at Carnegie Hall, which was a one-night 85th birthday celebration. Mr Smith led three different bands performing highlights from his career. Born in Ferndale, Michigan in 1937, Mr Smith started to play the cello (大提琴) at the age of 10, but switched to bass in high school because he claimed opportunities were limited for black musicians to play classical music. He studied at the Eastman School of Music, and then went on to get his master’s degree at the Manhattan School of Music. By the time he was 25, he was one of the most popular players in jazz. Mr Smith’s most historic recordings came in the 1960s as the bassist in the second great Mr Miles. He says the band — with Mr Miles on trumpet; Mr Coleman and then Mr Wayne on saxophone, Mr Hancock on piano, and Mr Williamson on drums — never rehearsed (排练) before recording. And Mr Smith has certainly helped a lot of musicians get better. Bassist Mr Clarke says that in the last 50 years, Mr Smith has been “the most important bass player”. “I remember as a young kid, I used to get his records,” Mr Clarke recalls. “I could tell he was very, very professional because the consistency was there from record to record; his sound, his ability, and then his flow.” 1．How many records did Mr Smith record each year on average?

But the Starbucks Coffee Co. leader was undoubtedly the first to turn that dream into a billion-dollar retail business. Schultz’s adventure started in 1981 when he traveled from New York to Seattle to check out a popular coffee bean store called “Starbucks”. It had been buying many of the Hammarplast Swedish drip coffeemakers he was selling. There was that great smell, sure, but what caused him to fall in love with the business was the care the Starbucks owners put into choosing and roasting the beans. He was also impressed with the owners’ devotion to educating the public about the wonders of the coffee. It took Schultz a year to convince the Starbucks owners to hire him. When they finally made him director of marketing and operations in 1982, he had another idea. This one occurred in Italy, when Schultz noticed the coffee bars that existed on almost every block. He learned that they not only served excellent espressos, they also served as meeting places or public squares, and there were 200,000 of them in the country. But when he came back to Seattle, the Starbucks owners resisted Schultz’s plans to serve coffee in the stores, saying the restaurant business was competitive, and it was costly to hire waiters. After all, economic benefits were their primary motivator. Frustrated, Schultz quit and started his own coffee bar business in 1987, named “Il Giornale”. It was successful, and two years later, the original Starbucks management sold its Starbucks retail unit to Schultz for $3.8 million. As the company began to expand rapidly in the 1990s, Schultz always said that the main goal was “to serve a great cup of coffee”. Asked about the secret of his success, Schultz told us the principles: “Don’t be threatened by people smarter than you. Compromise anything but your core values.” 1．What caused Schultz to join the Starbucks? A．The pleasant smell of its coffee bean. B．His strong desire to improve himself. C．The owners’ impressive work attitude. D．His eagerness to sell more coffeemakers. 2．Why did the Starbucks owners refuse to serve coffee in the stores? A．Many coffee bars had existed in Seattle.

Cherry, lies on a carpet on the floor in her home, looking into the distance. She holds a book open on a page seemingly about art. Behind her, the walls are entirely covered in decorated textiles (织物) with colourful shapes and patterns. In front of her is her young daughter, the now multi-award-winning singer-songwriter Neneh Cherry, sitting near her and pointing in the direction Moki is looking at. This image shows how Neneh Cherry sees her mother. “She was self-taught but also incredibly studious,” the now 60-year-old Neneh says, reflecting on her childhood. Neneh notes that Moki was always working to improve her practice. “She was always present, but there was a kind of intensity to it that was so beautiful,” she says. “I remember her working with fabrics on the floor. I always think of how her head was turned down on whatever area she was working on.” Moki was an artist born in 1943 in Norrbotten, a region in the far northeast of Sweden. She created art from the 1960s until she died in 2009, exploring various mediums, including tapestry (挂毯), fashion, painting, collage and ceramics (拼贴和陶瓷), Despite her name being relatively unknown throughout her life, Moki’s work is more well-known now.

A renewed interest in tapestry and the acceptance of it as an art form have resulted in Moki and her work gaining more recognition. It has been shown across the globe. “So many contemporary artists are using textiles, which is great, but it’ s not that long ago that galleries did. not take that kind of work seriously, and saw it as women’s hobbies,” says Naima Karlsson, Moki’ s granddaughter. 1．Why is a photograph described in paragraph 1?

Every day for 30 years, this humble postman has been delivering post to some of the most remote villages in Coonoor which are inaccessible by road. Carrying the mail, he walks along the Nilgiri Mountain Railway track, walking through thick forests, crossing slippery streams and walking on railway bridges. Having travelled through the difficult path for 30 years, Mr. Sivan has grown fond of the wild animals he encounters on his daily walks, going so far as to say that they’ve all become his friends. But even his friends have occasionally caused him some trouble, with an elephant once having run after him. He was saved by a truck driver who spotted him and honked at the elephant. The animals recognize him now, though. As the years rolled by, emails started replacing letter writing. And as more and more people moved from the Nilgiri hills to the plains-the towns of Mettupalayam and Coimbatore, Sivan’s bag became lighter and lighter every day. Many weeks he ended up carrying just 3-4 letter to each village. One day Sivan noticed that a man to whom he was supposed to deliver his pension had moved to Coimbatore. The man had fallen very sick and was hospitalized. Sivan tracked down the hospital, travelled 80 kms by bus and later car, and delivered the pension. The kind postman even paid for the whole trip himself! Not all heroes wear a cape(披风);some have white hair and carry a simple bag full of letters. Not all heroes write cool stories on Instagram; some just sit outside a door and read out a son’s letter to his mother. 1．Which of the following best describes Sivan’s daily delivery journey?
