The previous tenants received the mail too. It has been coming for years and no one knows why.” Glaub and Parker settled into their new home, and for the first two years only a few letters from kids or parents asked “Santa” for gifts they could not otherwise afford. Then in the months leading to Christmas 2010, their mailbox was filled with letters to Santa every day. They responded to as many as they could, writing notes, and even buying gifts. Glaub, of course, is not Santa, They could do only so much. But one night, when he and Parker threw a 1960s-themed Christmas party, a solution appeared. Guests noticed the hundreds of letters they’d yet to act upon and asked about them. Glaub told them the story and his guests were intrigued. “A lot of people were like, ‘I’ll take a letter. I’ll satisfy it,’” And so was born Miracle on 22nd Street. To spread the word, they started a website, miracleon22ndstreet, com, and a Facebook page. Working with other nonprofits that help those in need, they invited families from around the country to go online and request gifts for their children. Likewise, donors, also known as “elves”, can sign up to buy gifts for a child or family, accompanied by a signed note with Elf before their name, such as Elf Jim or Elf Jody. Last year, Glaub and Miracle on 22nd Street helped more than 800 families. Glaub no longer wonders why the letters come to the apartment.

They were searching for Buzinza, the head of the Rushegura mountain gorilla (山地大猩猩) group, because they feared she had broken her arm. Mountain gorillas move around a lot. This was the team’s second day on Buzinza’s trail. The doctors had spent all of the previous morning and afternoon tracking the gorilla’s family, only to have Buzinza climb into a treetop when they finally saw her. She stayed there until nightfall-too late and too dark for a check-up. The team was luckier the next day, however. They had to push through the forest for only a few minutes before coming upon Buzinza and the rest of her family. She was on the ground eating leaves. Gorilla Doctors is an international group of about 25 wildlife veterinarians (兽医), biologists and support staff working to keep the world’s 1,000 mountain gorillas from going extinct. The group serves the health needs of the animals living in this forest. A week ago, the trackers responsible for monitoring the Rushegura gorilla group noticed that Buzinza hadn’t used her right arm for several days. “We were worried that she might have a fracture (骨折),” Denstedt said. When they found Buzinza on that second day of searching, the team slowly took out their medical supplies. Denstedt gently placed Buzinza’s injured arm on an X-ray plate. The picture that appeared showed there was no fracture. Instead, Buzinza was suffering from osteomyelitis, a bone infection. “That type of condition is serious,” Denstedt said. Without treatment, she would likely die. The treatment took about an hour. As she worked, Denstedt spoke quietly to Buzinza, “You’re all right. You’re fine.” “It’s hard to know how much they really feel when we are touching them. But you still find yourself saying these things,” Denstedt explained. Trackers and field veterinarians monitored Buzinza over the next five weeks and continued to treat her with medications. “We don’t have any X-rays after treatment, so I don’t know what the bone looks like now, but Buzinza is doing a lot better,” Denstedt said. “She’s climbing again.” 1．Which word can best describe the team’s finding Buzinza? A．Secret. B．Unexpected. C．Difficult. D．Unimportant. 2．What did Denstedt find out about Buzinza after a check-up? A．Her right arm was broken. B．Her condition was life-threatening. C．She experienced an unknown disease. D．She could spread the infection to her family. 3．What did Denstedt do as she treated Buzinza? A．She tried to calm and comfort her. B．She tried to guess how she was feeling. C．She made the process as slow as possible. D．She touched her to help her go to sleep. 4．What did Denstedt say about Buzinza? A．She needed another X-ray badly. B．She’d have to wait weeks to get new treatment. C．She was recovering slowly. D．She was better at climbing trees than before. （24-25高三上·广东惠州·阶段练习）In a world often filled with uncertainty, one man’s small act of kindness has caused a wave of generosity, leading to a life-changing moment for a family in need. It all began when Casey Marlow found himself in a convenience store earlier this week. He was about to purchase a drink when he realized he had left his wallet in the truck. As he went to get it, the man behind him in line, Mario stepped up and paid for his drink. Grateful for the gesture, Marlow struck up a conversation with him. As they spoke, Marlow learned that the man, despite his generosity, was going through tough times. Mario was living with his family in a motel after being kicked out of their home, but he was working hard to get back on his feet. Yet, in his hardship, he still found the strength to help someone else. Inspired by Mario’s kindness, Marlow turned to social media to share the story and ask for help. “Even if it’s just a few dollars,” he posted, “together, we can make a big impact.” What happened next was nothing short of remarkable. The community, both near and far, united behind to support Marlow’s appeal. Donations began pouring in, each one contributing to a growing fund aimed at helping Mario and his family. Within just 24 hours, the total had reached an astonishing $ 35, 000. “I was just the messenger,” Marlow modestly explained. “All I did was ask for help because I couldn’t do it alone. We all came together and helped Mario out. We are all overwhelmed to be able to help change this man and his family’s life.” What began as a simple act of kindness in a convenience store has grown into a powerful reminder of the impact that compassion and community can have.

My husband and I were recently in Egypt, where the temperature reached 113 degrees, a bit warm for my tiny princess self. Medic, medic! So, we left Egypt. Back home, my dearest friends struggled with health stuff, with family craziness, with damaged children both young and grown. The game of life is hard, and a lot of us are playing hurt. I ache for the world but naturally I’m mostly watching the Me Movie, where balance and strength are beginning to fail. What can we do as the creaking (嘎吱响的) elevators of age slowly descend? The main solution is to get outside every day, ideally with friends. Old friends-even thoughts of them-are my comfort. Recently I was walking along a beach with Neshama. We go back 50 years. She is 84, short and strong. Every so often, she bent down somewhat tentatively and picked up small items into a small cloth bag. “What are you doing?” “I’m picking up micro litter. I try to help where I can.” I reminded her of an old story. A great warhorse comes upon a tiny sparrow lying on its back with its feet in the air, eyes tightly shut with effort. The horse asks it what it’s doing. “I’m trying to help hold back the darkness.” The horse roars with laughter. “That is so funny. What do you weigh?” And the sparrow replies, “One does what one can.” This is what older age means; we do what we can. We continued our walk. Neshama bent to pick up bits of litter and started to slip, but I caught her and we laughed. We are so physically vulnerable in older age. We have caught each other a lot and have come through some periods of darkness and overwhelming losses, but friendship makes it all a rowing machine for the soul. We can take it as long as we feel and give love, and laugh gently at ourselves as we fall apart. We know by a certain age the great lies in our life - if you do or achieve this or that, you will be happy and rich. No. Love and service make us rich. 1．What does the author think of her present life? A．She enjoys making new friends. B．She feels more struggles over aging process. C．She finds it challenging to handle family crises. D．She wants others to learn from her life experiences. 2．What message does the story of the sparrow convey? A．Age makes small efforts less meaningful over time. B．Strength in numbers is necessary to change the world. C．Even the smallest action will contribute to a bigger result. D．Every small action counts, no matter how insignificant it seems. 3．Which of the following can best describe Neshama? A．Healthy and cautious. B．Caring and responsible. C．Cooperative and modest. D．Educated and committed. 4．What does the author suggest about the meaning of life in older age? A．Love and acts of service bring true richness in life. B．Happiness is achieved through love, rather than wealth. C．Health and. independence are definitely the ultimate goals. D．True richness comes from love, service, and achievements. （24-25高三上·广东·期中）When Sharaine and Wilson moved their family to Rhode Island, they already had a full schedule. Just moving into a new community and restoring a new house meant little time for anything else. And then Paul showed up. Paul, at the age of 82, had recently lost his wife but carried on with a generous spirit. He crossed the street, ladder in hand, to introduce himself to his new neighbors and offer his services in their home improvement endeavors. Sharaine remembers, “Our biggest fear moving into a new neighborhood was what if the new neighbors don’t like us? We have a lot of kids; they make a lot of noise...” But those fears were quickly put to rest. Paul likes children very much and quickly becomes a regular at home. Paul makes sure the kids cross the street safely after school, is the judge of tricycle races, sits on the porch helping with homework and pulls out his artificial teeth as a reminder to the little ones to brush their teeth. The presence of elders can greatly enhance a child’s ability to cope with life’s challenges. Grandparents like Paul provide stability, affection, encouragement, and a sense of duty to the young ones under their wing. Despite living alone, Paul never feels isolated; he is far too preoccupied playing the role of a loving grandpa. “We are incredibly lucky to have met such a wonderful neighbor. The kids rush towards him as if he were their own grandpa,” says Sharaine, and indeed, Paul’s calendar stays full. Celebrating birthdays, working on home projects, attending neighborhood barbecues, and engaging in other family activities keep him busy. Simple pleasures like reading, pulling weeds, strolling (散步) slowly as clouds drift across the sky, occasionally blocking the sun — these are the essence of life. And it takes a grandpa like Paul to slow down time, allowing one to truly appreciate the beauty of these moments. 1．What initially concerned Sharaine and Wilson about moving to Rhode Island? A．Not finding a proper house. B．How to repair a new house. C．Not making time for their family. D．Whether to be accepted by new neighbors. 2．What role does Paul play in the children’s lives?

He started learning chess at 4 and won the London Under-8 Championship two years later. Another 7 years later, he achieved the second place globally in the under-14 age group chess competition. This was the first time that he’d shocked the world. In 1992, he was admitted to the Computer Science program at the University of Cambridge. He entered University College London in 2005 to pursue a Ph.D．in cognitive neuroscience. In 2011, he founded DeepMind, which is a world-leading artificial intelligence (AI) research group. After 5 years, the AI program AlphaGo he created defeated the world’s top Go player, Lee Sedol. In 2020, DeepMind’s AI system AlphaFold participated in a competition organized by the Critical Assessment of Structure Prediction (CASP) on calculating the 3D structure of protein molecules (分子) and achieved an unexampled level of prediction accuracy. Hassabis was considered one of the “smartest humans on Earth” by the great British physicist Stephen Hawking, who served as a professor at the University of Cambridge before he passed away in 2018. In 2014, DeepMind was acquired by Google for 600 million dollars even before it had publicly released any products and had only 20 technicians. Since then, Hassabis and his team have influenced Google’s development direction for the next decade, guiding the tech giant from a mobile-first approach to an AI-first one. Demis Hassabis, along with David Baker and John M. Jumper, was awarded the 2024 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for their contributions to protein structure prediction. Their AlphaFold has solved a 50-year-old problem by being able to predict the complex structures of approximately 200 million known proteins. The success of AlphaFold not only lies in its accuracy of prediction but also in its broad application prospects. Through this model, scientists can gain a deeper understanding of the structure and function of proteins, providing more accurate information for new drug research and development and disease treatment. 1．At what age did Hassabis surprise the world for the first time? A．4. B．6. C．13. D．16. 2．What is paragraph 2 mainly about regarding Hassabis? A．His hobbies as a child. B．His growing-up experiences. C．His studies on protein molecules. D．His purposes of inventing AlphaGo. 3．Why does the author mention Stephen Hawking? A．To compare him with Hassabis. B．To recall the birth of DeepMind. C．To stress Hassabis’ bond with him. D．To show Hassabis’ being recognized. 4．What does Hassabis’ success mainly imply? A．AI aids scientific progress. B．Teamwork makes a difference. C．Opportunities are multiple. D．Prediction is the key point. （24-25高三上·广东·阶段练习）I live in Xizhou in Yunnan Province, on the historic Tea Horse Road. I have to admit that when I first heard that Paul Salopek was going to walk the entire globe on his own two feet, I was blown away. I couldn’t imagine that there could be such an unusual person in the world. Last May, I met Paul. He told me that it was his first time in China. He talked to me with great excitement about the history, migrations, and discoveries in my region of China. He spoke of the Shu Yandu Dao (the Southern Silk Road), the travels of the 17th-century Chinese explorer Xu Xiake, the Tea Horse Road and the early 20th-century American botanist Joseph Rock. He also talked of Xuanzang. Paul considered many of them heroes and in a sense Chinese pioneers of slow journalism. I decided to accompany Paul on his walk toward Yunnan. On September 28, 2021, we set out. Our days were simple: walk, eat, sleep, and repeat. We woke up at sunrise, set off in high spirits, and rested at sunset, dragging ourselves into exhausted sleep. We met many people on the road. Some were curious, surrounding us and watching us; some gave us directions; some invited us into their home to take a rest; some spoke of the charm of their hometown. We met many beautiful souls, simple souls and warm souls. We were walking with our minds. Together, we were impressed by the biodiversity of the Gaoligong Mountains. As I walked on ancient paths through mountains, I seemed to hear the antique voices of past travelers urging me to be careful on the road. Looking back on the more than 200 miles I walked with Paul, I came to a realization. Walking for its own sake, while healthy and admirable, is only a small part of the benefit of moving with our feet. A deeper reward is rediscovering the world around us, shortening the distance between each other, and sharing each other’s cultures. 1．How did the writer first respond to Paul’s travel plan? A．Surprised. B．Frightened. C．Confused. D．Disappointed. 2．What can we learn about Paul Salopek from Paragraph 2? A．He was Joseph Rock’s acquaintance. B．He was a western journalist. C．He came to China several times. D．He had a knowledge of China. 3．What does Paragraph 4 tell us about the writer and Paul? A．They set off in high spirits. B．They satisfied the locals’ curiosity. C．They built bonds with people. D．They honored the ancestors. 4．What is the main purpose of the writer’s writing the text? A．To share and reflect on a journey. B．To suggest a new way of travel. C．To advocate protection of biodiversity. D．To introduce and promote Chinese culture. （2024·广东佛山·一模）For 44 years, rain or shine, Emily Thompson woke up, put on her uniform and went to work as a zookeeper at Wildwood Zoo. “I'm lucky to have worked in a place that has given me so much pleasure,” says the 65-year-old Emily enthusiastically. “The zoo is like a miniature reflection of life. There are births, deaths and marriages, along with a mix of amazing, happy, and sad events.  But you deal with what's in front of you and move on because other animals are relying on you.” Emily's ambition to become a zookeeper started as a teenager. She was inspired by the well-known conservationist and TV presenter Ethan Marlowe's animal books. She still remembers her first-ever job interview with Benjamin Adams, the then zoo curator (馆长), who kindly told her to get some more life experience first. Two years later, after working as a Karitane nurse and completing an animal science course, she was delighted when Benjamin got in touch to offer her a zookeeper job in 1979. Throughout her working journey, one of the most memorable responsibilities for Emily was caring for chimpanzee Janie, with whom she shared a deep bond. Another highlight was being part of 12 seasons on the popular television series The Zoo, which followed keepers and animals behind the scenes during their day-to-day life. “I remember when I was first recognized at the supermarket after work in my uniform,” she recalls, “I had no idea who they were, but then I realized they had seen me from the show. It was brilliant publicity for the zoo.” Filming also took Emily to Sumatra in 2010, where she experienced Wildwood Zoo-supported conservation efforts with animals in the wild.   Despite Emily's love for the job, her body slowing down convinced her it was time to retire. Now with more time on her hands, she is considering sharing her knowledge as a lecturer. Whatever the future holds, one thing is for sure. Emily definitely hasn't said goodbye to her beloved Wildwood Zoo for good. 1．What motivated Emily to pursue a career as a zookeeper? A．Her experience as a Karitane nurse. B．The encouragement from Benjamin Adams. C．The completion of an animal science course. D．Her admiration for Ethan Marlowe's animal books. 2．What was the outcome of Emily's participation in the television series? A．It helped her form a bond with a chimpanzee. B．It brought attention and recognition to the zoo. C．It stimulated her interest in conservation efforts in Sumatra. D．It highlighted her role in 12 seasons on the television series. 3．Which of the following can best describe Emily? A．Ambitious and intelligent. B．Hardworking and innovative. C．Passionate and committed. D．Enthusiastic and courageous. 4．What can be a suitable title for the text? A．Bonding with Chimpanzee: A Zookeeper's Role B．From Beginner to Expert: A Zookeeper's Growth C．Behind the Scenes: A Zookeeper's Life on Television D．Decades of Joy and Devotion: A Zookeeper's Journey （24-25高三上·广州·期中）The joys of the night ride were the joys of feeling present in my body again. Cycling felt like a celebration of dynamic energy, of blood and bone. A reminder that my body was still healthy and functioning despite the two heart operations I had as a kid, which took me out of sports entirely. I remember the doctor’s orders: no football, no physical education. They told me I was fragile (脆弱的), and so I became fragile. I was in middle school then. It felt as if my body had been taken away from me. They put me in a combination swing- dance-and-painting-class instead. But the doctors never said no cycling, and for a brief moment in central Texas, biking became more popular than football, which saved my social life. I still believe that the speed, the wind and the blood in the ears on a silent street can do that to my body—bring it back to life once again. As time wore on, I developed an affection for the night ride. Below the whoosh (呼啸声) of the wind, I listened for my heart, then the rhythm of my tires over sidewalk. The pain of hard physical effort would pale, not to mention the wind buffeting my face. The rough road constantly told me that there was a road beneath my tires and the possibility of travel. The stress on both the body and the bike made real what I’d suspected all along: although removed from my family, my friends, my former life, I still existed in these streets. There was a frivolity (轻松感) to the night ride, too, a kind of frivolity I hadn’t felt past years. I’d spent so much time sitting at a desk, sitting in bed, sitting on a sofa. My days were defined by constant anxiety and fear, and the world felt like a thing that happened to me, not something I could participate in. But during the night ride, I paid attention only to the moment. If I didn’t, I’d hit the pothole (坑洼) in the road. So by necessity, I became present, and I felt present, which is to say everything started to feel fun again. 1．What made the author have to choose the night ride? A．Doctors’ advice. B．Poor health. C．Heavy schoolwork. D．Cycling’s popularity. 2．What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 2 refer to? A．The author’s energy got restored. B．The author’s figure got reshaped. C．The author’s body became flexible. D．The author’s mind became strong. 3．What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A．The changes of the author’s life. B．The difficulties in biking at night. C．The reasons for enjoying the night ride. D．The doubts about the author’s social life. 4．What does the author want to convey by mentioning the past in the last paragraph? A．Life is about going with the flow. B．The past is full of endless regrets. C．Living for the moment is necessary. D．Learning from the past is invaluable. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 备战2025年高考英语名校模拟真题速递(广东专用) 第二期 专题07 记叙文10篇 基础语篇巩固练 （24-25高三上·广东深圳·阶段练习）Jim Glaub and Dylan Parker had just been handed the keys to their new Manhattan apartment on 22nd Street when the outgoing tenant (房客) said something curious, “Just so you know, there’s this thing where letters addressed to Santa come to the apartment. The previous tenants received the mail too.

Guests noticed the hundreds of letters they’d yet to act upon and asked about them. Glaub told them the story and his guests were intrigued. “A lot of people were like, ‘I’ll take a letter. I’ll satisfy it,’” And so was born Miracle on 22nd Street. (但有一天晚上，当他和帕克举办了一个以20世纪60年代为主题的圣诞派对时，一个解决方案出现了。客人们注意到他们还没有采取行动的数百封信，并询问他们的情况。格劳布给他们讲了这个故事，客人们都很感兴趣。“很多人都说，‘我要一封信。’”于是，22街的奇迹诞生了。)”可知，他的故事很受客人的欢迎，激发了格劳布在22街创办奇迹。故选D项。 4．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Last year, Glaub and Miracle on 22nd Street helped more than 800 families. Glaub no longer wonders why the letters come to the apartment. Putting in the long hours to help the families is what it’s all about for him. (去年，22街的Glaub and Miracle帮助了800多个家庭。格劳布不再奇怪为什么这些信会寄到公寓里。对他来说，花大把时间帮助这些家庭就是他的全部。)”可知，花大把时间帮助这些家庭就是Glaub的全部，说明他是关怀人的，根据倒数第二段“To spread the word, they started a website, miracleon22ndstreet, com, and a Facebook page. Working with other nonprofits that help those in need, they invited families from around the country to go online and request gifts for their children. Likewise, donors, also known as “elves”, can sign up to buy gifts for a child or family, accompanied by a signed note with Elf before their name, such as Elf Jim or Elf Jody. (为了传播这个消息，他们创建了一个网站，miracleon22ndstreet.com，以及一个Facebook页面。他们与其他帮助有需要的人的非营利组织合作，邀请全国各地的家庭上网为他们的孩子申请礼物。同样，捐赠者，也被称为“精灵”，可以注册为孩子或家庭购买礼物，并在他们的名字前附上Elf的签名，如精灵吉姆或精灵乔迪。)”可知，Glaub通过互联网来帮助更多人，所以是创新的。故选A项。 （24-25高三上·广东肇庆·阶段练习）On an early morning last year, Emily Denstedt and two other gorilla doctors walked into the thick Uganda’s Bwindi Impenetrable Forest. They were searching for Buzinza, the head of the Rushegura mountain gorilla (山地大猩猩) group, because they feared she had broken her arm. Mountain gorillas move around a lot. This was the team’s second day on Buzinza’s trail. The doctors had spent all of the previous morning and afternoon tracking the gorilla’s family, only to have Buzinza climb into a treetop when they finally saw her. She stayed there until nightfall-too late and too dark for a check-up. The team was luckier the next day, however. They had to push through the forest for only a few minutes before coming upon Buzinza and the rest of her family. She was on the ground eating leaves. Gorilla Doctors is an international group of about 25 wildlife veterinarians (兽医), biologists and support staff working to keep the world’s 1,000 mountain gorillas from going extinct. The group serves the health needs of the animals living in this forest. A week ago, the trackers responsible for monitoring the Rushegura gorilla group noticed that Buzinza hadn’t used her right arm for several days. “We were worried that she might have a fracture (骨折),” Denstedt said. When they found Buzinza on that second day of searching, the team slowly took out their medical supplies. Denstedt gently placed Buzinza’s injured arm on an X-ray plate. The picture that appeared showed there was no fracture. Instead, Buzinza was suffering from osteomyelitis, a bone infection. “That type of condition is serious,” Denstedt said. Without treatment, she would likely die. The treatment took about an hour. As she worked, Denstedt spoke quietly to Buzinza, “You’re all right. You’re fine.” “It’s hard to know how much they really feel when we are touching them. But you still find yourself saying these things,” Denstedt explained. Trackers and field veterinarians monitored Buzinza over the next five weeks and continued to treat her with medications. “We don’t have any X-rays after treatment, so I don’t know what the bone looks like now, but Buzinza is doing a lot better,” Denstedt said. “She’s climbing again.” 1．Which word can best describe the team’s finding Buzinza? A．Secret. B．Unexpected. C．Difficult. D．Unimportant. 2．What did Denstedt find out about Buzinza after a check-up? A．Her right arm was broken. B．Her condition was life-threatening. C．She experienced an unknown disease. D．She could spread the infection to her family. 3．What did Denstedt do as she treated Buzinza? A．She tried to calm and comfort her. B．She tried to guess how she was feeling. C．She made the process as slow as possible. D．She touched her to help her go to sleep. 4．What did Denstedt say about Buzinza? A．She needed another X-ray badly. B．She’d have to wait weeks to get new treatment. C．She was recovering slowly. D．She was better at climbing trees than before. 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．A 4．C 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了去年清晨，Emily Denstedt和其他两位大猩猩医生进入乌干达的Bwindi密林寻找可能手臂受伤的山地大猩猩Buzinza的故事。 1．推理判断题。根据文章第二段“The doctors had spent all of the previous morning and afternoon tracking the gorilla’s family, only to have Buzinza climb into a treetop when they finally saw her. She stayed there until nightfall-too late and too dark for a check-up.(医生们花了整整一个上午和下午的时间追踪大猩猩的家族，结果当他们终于看到Buzinza时，她却爬到了树顶上。她一直待在那里直到夜幕降临——太晚了，太黑了，无法进行检查。)”可知，找到Buzinza并进行检查是困难的。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据文章第六段“The picture that appeared showed there was no fracture. Instead, Buzinza was suffering from osteomyelitis, a bone infection. ‘That type of condition is serious,’ Denstedt said. Without treatment, she would likely die.(出现的图片显示没有骨折。相反，Buzinza患的是骨髓炎，一种骨骼感染。‘这种情况很严重，’Denstedt说。如果不治疗，她很可能会死。)”可知，Denstedt检查后发现了Buzinza的状况危及生命。故选B。 3．推理判断题。根据文章第七段“As she worked, Denstedt spoke quietly to Buzinza, ‘You’re all right. You’re fine’.(在治疗过程中，Denstedt轻声对Buzinza说，‘你没事吧。你很好’。)”可知，在治疗过程中，Denstedt试图让Buzinza平静下来，安慰她。故选A。 4．推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“We don’t have any X-rays after treatment, so I don’t know what the bone looks like now, but Buzinza is doing a lot better,” Denstedt said. “She’s climbing again.(治疗后我们没有拍X光片，所以我不知道现在骨头是什么情况，但Buzinza的情况好多了，”Denstedt说。“她又开始爬树了”。)”可知，Denstedt认为Buzinza正在慢慢恢复。故选C。 （24-25高三上·广东惠州·阶段练习）In a world often filled with uncertainty, one man’s small act of kindness has caused a wave of generosity, leading to a life-changing moment for a family in need. It all began when Casey Marlow found himself in a convenience store earlier this week. He was about to purchase a drink when he realized he had left his wallet in the truck. As he went to get it, the man behind him in line, Mario stepped up and paid for his drink. Grateful for the gesture, Marlow struck up a conversation with him.

Sort of. My husband and I were recently in Egypt, where the temperature reached 113 degrees, a bit warm for my tiny princess self. Medic, medic! So, we left Egypt. Back home, my dearest friends struggled with health stuff, with family craziness, with damaged children both young and grown. The game of life is hard, and a lot of us are playing hurt. I ache for the world but naturally I’m mostly watching the Me Movie, where balance and strength are beginning to fail. What can we do as the creaking (嘎吱响的) elevators of age slowly descend? The main solution is to get outside every day, ideally with friends. Old friends-even thoughts of them-are my comfort. Recently I was walking along a beach with Neshama. We go back 50 years. She is 84, short and strong. Every so often, she bent down somewhat tentatively and picked up small items into a small cloth bag. “What are you doing?” “I’m picking up micro litter. I try to help where I can.” I reminded her of an old story. A great warhorse comes upon a tiny sparrow lying on its back with its feet in the air, eyes tightly shut with effort. The horse asks it what it’s doing. “I’m trying to help hold back the darkness.” The horse roars with laughter. “That is so funny. What do you weigh?” And the sparrow replies, “One does what one can.” This is what older age means; we do what we can. We continued our walk. Neshama bent to pick up bits of litter and started to slip, but I caught her and we laughed. We are so physically vulnerable in older age. We have caught each other a lot and have come through some periods of darkness and overwhelming losses, but friendship makes it all a rowing machine for the soul. We can take it as long as we feel and give love, and laugh gently at ourselves as we fall apart. We know by a certain age the great lies in our life - if you do or achieve this or that, you will be happy and rich. No. Love and service make us rich. 1．What does the author think of her present life? A．She enjoys making new friends. B．She feels more struggles over aging process. C．She finds it challenging to handle family crises. D．She wants others to learn from her life experiences. 2．What message does the story of the sparrow convey?

D．Every small action counts, no matter how insignificant it seems. 3．Which of the following can best describe Neshama? A．Healthy and cautious. B．Caring and responsible. C．Cooperative and modest. D．Educated and committed. 4．What does the author suggest about the meaning of life in older age? A．Love and acts of service bring true richness in life. B．Happiness is achieved through love, rather than wealth. C．Health and. independence are definitely the ultimate goals. D．True richness comes from love, service, and achievements. 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．B 4．A 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要描述了作者和丈夫在埃及的经历、与老朋友在海滩上散步的情景，以及通过讲述马和麻雀的故事来表达自己对生活、友情、年龄和努力的看法，强调友情、爱和服务的力量超越物质追求。 1．细节理解题。根据文章第三段中的“The game of life is hard, and a lot of us are playing hurt.

(人生的游戏很艰难，我们很多人都在带着伤痛前行。我为这个世界感到心痛，但自然而然地，我更多的是在关注自己的内心世界，在那里，平衡与力量正开始消逝。当我们步入老年，就像老旧的电梯缓缓下降，我们能做些什么呢？)”可知，作者觉得生活艰难，随着年龄增长面临诸多困扰，也就是在衰老过程中有更多挣扎。所以她觉得自己当下的生活是她感觉在衰老过程中有更多挣扎。故选B项。 2．推理判断题。根据文章第五段中的“The horse roars with laughter. “That is so funny.

Just moving into a new community and restoring a new house meant little time for anything else. And then Paul showed up. Paul, at the age of 82, had recently lost his wife but carried on with a generous spirit. He crossed the street, ladder in hand, to introduce himself to his new neighbors and offer his services in their home improvement endeavors. Sharaine remembers, “Our biggest fear moving into a new neighborhood was what if the new neighbors don’t like us? We have a lot of kids; they make a lot of noise...” But those fears were quickly put to rest. Paul likes children very much and quickly becomes a regular at home. Paul makes sure the kids cross the street safely after school, is the judge of tricycle races, sits on the porch helping with homework and pulls out his artificial teeth as a reminder to the little ones to brush their teeth. The presence of elders can greatly enhance a child’s ability to cope with life’s challenges. Grandparents like Paul provide stability, affection, encouragement, and a sense of duty to the young ones under their wing. Despite living alone, Paul never feels isolated; he is far too preoccupied playing the role of a loving grandpa. “We are incredibly lucky to have met such a wonderful neighbor. The kids rush towards him as if he were their own grandpa,” says Sharaine, and indeed, Paul’s calendar stays full. Celebrating birthdays, working on home projects, attending neighborhood barbecues, and engaging in other family activities keep him busy. Simple pleasures like reading, pulling weeds, strolling (散步) slowly as clouds drift across the sky, occasionally blocking the sun — these are the essence of life. And it takes a grandpa like Paul to slow down time, allowing one to truly appreciate the beauty of these moments. 1．What initially concerned Sharaine and Wilson about moving to Rhode Island? A．Not finding a proper house. B．How to repair a new house. C．Not making time for their family. D．Whether to be accepted by new neighbors. 2．What role does Paul play in the children’s lives? A．He teaches them to brush their teeth. B．He helps them with their housework. C．He involves in their daily activities. D．He educates them when they misbehave. 3．Which of the following can best describe Paul? A．Quiet and lonely. B．Indifferent and odd. C．Optimistic and spirited. D．Energetic and adventurous. 4．What is the last paragraph mainly about? A．Paul’s role in the community. B．The challenges of Paul’s neighbors. C．The improvement in home services. D．The relationship between Paul and kids. 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．C 4．A 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Paul如何融入新邻居的生活，成为孩子们的良师益友，丰富了社区生活。 1．细节理解题。由文章第三段中“Our biggest fear moving into a new neighborhood was what if the new neighbors don’t like us?

(“我们非常幸运能遇到这样一位好邻居。孩子们冲向他，就好像他是他们自己的爷爷一样，”Sharaine说，事实上，Paul的日程表一直排得满满的。庆祝生日、做家庭项目、参加邻里烧烤和其他家庭活动让他很忙。一些简单的快乐，比如读书、拔草、在云飘过的天空中慢慢散步，偶尔遮住太阳——这些都是生活的真谛。只有像Paul这样的爷爷才能让时间慢下来，让一个人真正欣赏这些时刻的美丽。)”可知，最后一段主要讲述了Paul在社区中的作用。故选A。 重难语篇拔高练 （24-25高三上·广东·阶段练习）Demis Hassabis, one of the recipients of the 2024 Nobel Prize in Chemistry, was born on July 27th, 1976, in London. He started learning chess at 4 and won the London Under-8 Championship two years later. Another 7 years later, he achieved the second place globally in the under-14 age group chess competition. This was the first time that he’d shocked the world. In 1992, he was admitted to the Computer Science program at the University of Cambridge. He entered University College London in 2005 to pursue a Ph.D．in cognitive neuroscience. In 2011, he founded DeepMind, which is a world-leading artificial intelligence (AI) research group. After 5 years, the AI program AlphaGo he created defeated the world’s top Go player, Lee Sedol. In 2020, DeepMind’s AI system AlphaFold participated in a competition organized by the Critical Assessment of Structure Prediction (CASP) on calculating the 3D structure of protein molecules (分子) and achieved an unexampled level of prediction accuracy. Hassabis was considered one of the “smartest humans on Earth” by the great British physicist Stephen Hawking, who served as a professor at the University of Cambridge before he passed away in 2018. In 2014, DeepMind was acquired by Google for 600 million dollars even before it had publicly released any products and had only 20 technicians. Since then, Hassabis and his team have influenced Google’s development direction for the next decade, guiding the tech giant from a mobile-first approach to an AI-first one. Demis Hassabis, along with David Baker and John M. Jumper, was awarded the 2024 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for their contributions to protein structure prediction. Their AlphaFold has solved a 50-year-old problem by being able to predict the complex structures of approximately 200 million known proteins. The success of AlphaFold not only lies in its accuracy of prediction but also in its broad application prospects. Through this model, scientists can gain a deeper understanding of the structure and function of proteins, providing more accurate information for new drug research and development and disease treatment. 1．At what age did Hassabis surprise the world for the first time? A．4. B．6. C．13. D．16. 2．What is paragraph 2 mainly about regarding Hassabis? A．His hobbies as a child. B．His growing-up experiences. C．His studies on protein molecules. D．His purposes of inventing AlphaGo. 3．Why does the author mention Stephen Hawking? A．To compare him with Hassabis. B．To recall the birth of DeepMind. C．To stress Hassabis’ bond with him. D．To show Hassabis’ being recognized. 4．What does Hassabis’ success mainly imply? A．AI aids scientific progress. B．Teamwork makes a difference. C．Opportunities are multiple. D．Prediction is the key point. 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．D 4．A 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了2024年诺贝尔化学奖获得者戴米斯·哈萨比斯 (Demis Hassabis) 的相关事迹。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段“He started learning chess at 4 and won the London Under-8 Championship two years later.

I have to admit that when I first heard that Paul Salopek was going to walk the entire globe on his own two feet, I was blown away. I couldn’t imagine that there could be such an unusual person in the world. Last May, I met Paul. He told me that it was his first time in China. He talked to me with great excitement about the history, migrations, and discoveries in my region of China. He spoke of the Shu Yandu Dao (the Southern Silk Road), the travels of the 17th-century Chinese explorer Xu Xiake, the Tea Horse Road and the early 20th-century American botanist Joseph Rock. He also talked of Xuanzang. Paul considered many of them heroes and in a sense Chinese pioneers of slow journalism. I decided to accompany Paul on his walk toward Yunnan. On September 28, 2021, we set out. Our days were simple: walk, eat, sleep, and repeat. We woke up at sunrise, set off in high spirits, and rested at sunset, dragging ourselves into exhausted sleep. We met many people on the road. Some were curious, surrounding us and watching us; some gave us directions; some invited us into their home to take a rest; some spoke of the charm of their hometown. We met many beautiful souls, simple souls and warm souls. We were walking with our minds. Together, we were impressed by the biodiversity of the Gaoligong Mountains. As I walked on ancient paths through mountains, I seemed to hear the antique voices of past travelers urging me to be careful on the road. Looking back on the more than 200 miles I walked with Paul, I came to a realization. Walking for its own sake, while healthy and admirable, is only a small part of the benefit of moving with our feet. A deeper reward is rediscovering the world around us, shortening the distance between each other, and sharing each other’s cultures. 1．How did the writer first respond to Paul’s travel plan? A．Surprised. B．Frightened. C．Confused. D．Disappointed. 2．What can we learn about Paul Salopek from Paragraph 2? A．He was Joseph Rock’s acquaintance. B．He was a western journalist. C．He came to China several times. D．He had a knowledge of China. 3．What does Paragraph 4 tell us about the writer and Paul? A．They set off in high spirits. B．They satisfied the locals’ curiosity. C．They built bonds with people. D．They honored the ancestors. 4．What is the main purpose of the writer’s writing the text? A．To share and reflect on a journey. B．To suggest a new way of travel. C．To advocate protection of biodiversity. D．To introduce and promote Chinese culture. 【答案】1．A 2．D 3．C 4．A 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者住在云南喜洲，这在历史悠久的茶马古道上，他遇到了要用双脚环游地球的保罗•萨洛佩科，于是决定陪保罗在云南徒步旅行，本文描写了他们一路上的见闻和感悟。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段中“I have to admit that when I first heard that Paul Salopek was going to walk the entire globe on his own two feet, I was blown away. I couldn’t imagine that there could be such an unusual person in the world. (我不得不承认，当我第一次听说保罗•萨洛佩科要用自己的双脚环游整个地球时，我被震撼了。我无法想象世界上会有这样一个不寻常的人。)”可推知，作者最初对保罗的旅行计划感到吃惊。故选A。 2．推理判断题。根据第二段中的“He talked to me with great excitement about the history, migrations, and discoveries in my region of China. He spoke of the Shu-Yandu Dao (the Southern Silk Road), the travels of the 17th-century Chinese explorer Xu Xiake, the Tea Horse Road and the early 20th-century American botanist Joseph Rock. He also talked of Xuanzang. Paul considered many of them heroes and in a sense Chinese pioneers of slow journalism. (他兴奋地跟我讲起我所在的中国地区的历史、移民和发现。他谈到了南方丝绸之路——蜀身毒道，17世纪中国探险家徐霞客的旅行，茶马古道，以及20世纪初美国植物学家约瑟夫•洛克。他还谈到了玄奘。保罗认为其中许多人都是英雄，从某种意义上说，他们是中国慢新闻的先驱。)”可推知，保罗•萨洛佩科对中国有一定的了解。故选D。 3．主旨大意题。根据第四段“We met many people on the road. Some were curious, surrounding us and watching us; some gave us directions; some invited us into their home to take a rest; some spoke of the charm of their hometown. We met many beautiful souls, simple souls and warm souls. We were walking with our minds. (我们在路上遇到了许多人。有些人很好奇，围着我们，看着我们；有人给我们指路；有些人邀请我们去他们家休息；一些人谈到了家乡的魅力。我们遇见了许多美丽的灵魂、朴素的灵魂和温暖的灵魂。我们在用我们的思想行走。)”可知，第四段主要说明了作者和保罗遇到了形形色色的人，他们与人们建立了联系。故选C。 4．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Looking back on the more than 200 miles I walked with Paul, I came to a realization. Walking for its own sake, while healthy and admirable, is only a small part of the benefit of moving with our feet. A deeper reward is rediscovering the world around us, shortening the distance between each other, and sharing each other’s cultures. (回顾我和保罗一起走过的200多英里，我有了一个认识。为步行而步行，虽然健康和令人钦佩，但只是用我们双脚移动的一小部分好处。更深层次的回报是重新发现我们周围的世界，缩短彼此之间的距离，分享彼此的文化。)”并结合全文可知，本文主要讲述了作者住在云南喜洲，这里在历史悠久的茶马古道上，他遇到了要用双脚环游地球的保罗•萨洛佩科，于是决定陪保罗去云南，文章描述了他们路上的见闻和感悟。由此可推知，文章的目的是分享和回顾一段旅程。故选A。 （2024·广东佛山·一模）For 44 years, rain or shine, Emily Thompson woke up, put on her uniform and went to work as a zookeeper at Wildwood Zoo. “I'm lucky to have worked in a place that has given me so much pleasure,” says the 65-year-old Emily enthusiastically. “The zoo is like a miniature reflection of life. There are births, deaths and marriages, along with a mix of amazing, happy, and sad events.  But you deal with what's in front of you and move on because other animals are relying on you.” Emily's ambition to become a zookeeper started as a teenager. She was inspired by the well-known conservationist and TV presenter Ethan Marlowe's animal books. She still remembers her first-ever job interview with Benjamin Adams, the then zoo curator (馆长), who kindly told her to get some more life experience first. Two years later, after working as a Karitane nurse and completing an animal science course, she was delighted when Benjamin got in touch to offer her a zookeeper job in 1979. Throughout her working journey, one of the most memorable responsibilities for Emily was caring for chimpanzee Janie, with whom she shared a deep bond. Another highlight was being part of 12 seasons on the popular television series The Zoo, which followed keepers and animals behind the scenes during their day-to-day life. “I remember when I was first recognized at the supermarket after work in my uniform,” she recalls, “I had no idea who they were, but then I realized they had seen me from the show. It was brilliant publicity for the zoo.” Filming also took Emily to Sumatra in 2010, where she experienced Wildwood Zoo-supported conservation efforts with animals in the wild.   Despite Emily's love for the job, her body slowing down convinced her it was time to retire. Now with more time on her hands, she is considering sharing her knowledge as a lecturer. Whatever the future holds, one thing is for sure. Emily definitely hasn't said goodbye to her beloved Wildwood Zoo for good. 1．What motivated Emily to pursue a career as a zookeeper? A．Her experience as a Karitane nurse. B．The encouragement from Benjamin Adams. C．The completion of an animal science course. D．Her admiration for Ethan Marlowe's animal books. 2．What was the outcome of Emily's participation in the television series? A．It helped her form a bond with a chimpanzee. B．It brought attention and recognition to the zoo. C．It stimulated her interest in conservation efforts in Sumatra. D．It highlighted her role in 12 seasons on the television series. 3．Which of the following can best describe Emily? A．Ambitious and intelligent. B．Hardworking and innovative. C．Passionate and committed. D．Enthusiastic and courageous. 4．What can be a suitable title for the text? A．Bonding with Chimpanzee: A Zookeeper's Role B．From Beginner to Expert: A Zookeeper's Growth C．Behind the Scenes: A Zookeeper's Life on Television D．Decades of Joy and Devotion: A Zookeeper's Journey 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．C 4．D 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。本文讲述了艾米丽·汤普森的职业生涯。她在怀尔德伍德动物园担任动物园管理员一职长达44年，无论天气如何，始终坚守岗位。她从青少年时期开始就对动物保护和饲养产生了浓厚兴趣，受到著名保护主义者和电视节目主持人伊桑·马洛动物书的启发，并梦想成为一名动物园管理员。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段中“Emily's ambition to become a zookeeper started as a teenager. She was inspired by the well-known conservationist and TV presenter Ethan Marlowe's animal books.(艾米丽成为一名动物园管理员的雄心壮志始于她十几岁的时候。她的灵感来自于著名的自然资源保护主义者和电视节目主持人伊桑·马洛的动物书籍)”可知，对伊桑·马洛动物书的欣赏促使艾米丽追求动物园管理员的职业。故选D项。 2．推理判断题。根据第三段中“ Another highlight was being part of 12 seasons on the popular television series The Zoo,  which followed keepers and animals behind the scenes during their  day-to-day life. “I remember when I was first recognized at the  supermarket after work in my uniform,” she recalls, “I had no idea who  they were, but then I realized they had seen me from the show.

Cycling felt like a celebration of dynamic energy, of blood and bone. A reminder that my body was still healthy and functioning despite the two heart operations I had as a kid, which took me out of sports entirely. I remember the doctor’s orders: no football, no physical education. They told me I was fragile (脆弱的), and so I became fragile. I was in middle school then. It felt as if my body had been taken away from me. They put me in a combination swing- dance-and-painting-class instead. But the doctors never said no cycling, and for a brief moment in central Texas, biking became more popular than football, which saved my social life. I still believe that the speed, the wind and the blood in the ears on a silent street can do that to my body—bring it back to life once again. As time wore on, I developed an affection for the night ride. Below the whoosh (呼啸声) of the wind, I listened for my heart, then the rhythm of my tires over sidewalk. The pain of hard physical effort would pale, not to mention the wind buffeting my face. The rough road constantly told me that there was a road beneath my tires and the possibility of travel. The stress on both the body and the bike made real what I’d suspected all along: although removed from my family, my friends, my former life, I still existed in these streets. There was a frivolity (轻松感) to the night ride, too, a kind of frivolity I hadn’t felt past years. I’d spent so much time sitting at a desk, sitting in bed, sitting on a sofa. My days were defined by constant anxiety and fear, and the world felt like a thing that happened to me, not something I could participate in. But during the night ride, I paid attention only to the moment. If I didn’t, I’d hit the pothole (坑洼) in the road. So by necessity, I became present, and I felt present, which is to say everything started to feel fun again. 1．What made the author have to choose the night ride? A．Doctors’ advice. B．Poor health. C．Heavy schoolwork. D．Cycling’s popularity. 2．What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 2 refer to? A．The author’s energy got restored. B．The author’s figure got reshaped. C．The author’s body became flexible. D．The author’s mind became strong. 3．What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A．The changes of the author’s life. B．The difficulties in biking at night. C．The reasons for enjoying the night ride. D．The doubts about the author’s social life. 4．What does the author want to convey by mentioning the past in the last paragraph? A．Life is about going with the flow. B．The past is full of endless regrets. C．Living for the moment is necessary. D．Learning from the past is invaluable. 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．C 4．C 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要叙述了作者骑夜行车得到的快乐和身体的康复。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段“A reminder that my body was still healthy and functioning despite the two heart operations I had as a kid, which took me out of sports entirely. I remember the doctor’s orders: no football, no physical education.(这提醒我，尽管我小时候做过两次心脏手术，但我的身体仍然健康，功能正常，这让我完全退出了体育运动。我记得医生的嘱咐：不准踢足球，不准上体育课)”根据第二段“They told me I was fragile (脆弱的)(他们告诉我我脆弱)”以及“But the doctors never said no cycling(但医生从来没有说不允许骑自行车)”可知，身体不好使作者不得不选择夜间骑车。故选B项。 2．词句猜测题。根据文章第二段中的“I still believe that the speed, the wind and the blood in the ears on a silent street can do that to my body—bring it back to life once again.(我仍旧相信在宁静的街道上，那种速度、风声和耳边的血流声能让我的身体that——再次焕发生机）”可知，作者的身体再次焕发生机，所以that指代的是作者的能量恢复。故选A。 3．主旨大意题。根据文章第三段“Below the whoosh (呼啸声) of the wind, I listened for my heart, then the rhythm of my tires over sidewalk. The pain of hard physical effort would pale, not to mention the wind buffeting my face. The rough road constantly told me that there was a road beneath my tires and the possibility of travel. The stress on both the body and the bike made real what I’d suspected all along: although removed from my family, my friends, my former life, I still existed in these streets.(在风的呼啸声下，我倾听自己的心声，然后是轮胎在人行道上的节奏。艰苦锻炼的疼痛会显得苍白，更不用说风吹得我脸上生疼。崎岖的道路不断提醒我，在我轮胎下有一条路，有旅行的可能。身体和自行车的压力让我的怀疑变得真实：尽管与家人、朋友、过去的生活隔离开来，我仍然存在于这些街道上)”可知，本段主要讲的是作者享受夜骑的原因。故选C。 4．推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“My days were defined by constant anxiety and fear, and the world felt like a thing that happened to me, not something I could participate in. But during the night ride, I paid attention only to the moment. If I didn’t, I’d hit the pothole (坑洼) in the road. So by necessity, I became present, and I felt present, which is to say everything started to feel fun again.(我的日子一直被焦虑和恐惧所定义，世界对于我来说就像一件发生在我身上的事情，而不是我可以参与其中的事情。但在夜骑期间，我只专注于当下。因为如果不专注，我会撞到路上的坑洼。所以，我必然变得专注于眼前并感受到当下的存在，那就是所有事情又开始变得有趣)”可推知，作者提到过去主要传达了活在当下的重要性。故选C。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
