When she started at the GSE in 1936 — then the Stanford University School of Education — her plan was to get her bachelor’s of education, which she did in 1940, and obtain her master’s of education so she could teach, which she started directly after. However, just after completing her coursework and just before turning in her final thesis, her then-boyfriend George Hislop, a GSE student in Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (ROTC), got called in to serve during World War II, prompting the pair to get married and Virginia Hislop to leave campus before graduating. Now, 83 years after leaving campus and living in service to learning, Hislop returned to Stanford to finish what she started and receive her graduate degree. Looking back on her career, Hislop credits her time at Stanford and the things she’ s learned from community partners along the way for her ability to impact students. “I think I did good things for our local school system and I helped broaden it out,” she said. “For me, this degree is an appreciation of the many years I’ve put in working for the schools in the Yakima area and on different boards.” At the Diploma ceremony, GSE Dean Daniel Schwartz concurred, saying Hislop “led a life of tremendous educational accomplishment.” Her fellow graduates and their families gave her a standing ovation. When Hislop rose from her seat, dressed in cap and gown, to walk across the stage and receive her master’s hood (兜帽), the applause roared once again. She greeted Schwartz on stage and was handed her diploma. She smiled for the cameras. Her grandkids and great- grandkids waved and cheered. “My goodness,” Hislop said. “I’ve waited a long time for this.” 1．When did Virginia Hislop leave campus to marry and how old was she? A．1940; 21 B．1940; 22 C．1941; 21 D．1941; 22 2．Why did Virginia Hislop decide to return to Stanford? A．She was inspired by her family. B．She needed her master’s of education to teach. C．She benefited from it as a teacher. D．She wanted to achieve her original learning goals. 3．What does the underlined word “ovation” in paragraph 4 mean? A．Welcome. B．Salute. C．Applause. D．Farewell. 4．Which of the following can best summarize the text? A．A lifelong learning story. B．An inspirational women story. C．A teacher’s education story. D．A respected old lady’s story. 【答案】1．D 2．D 3．C 4．A 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了105岁老人Hislop重返斯坦福大学，完成83年前未完成的学业，获得硕士学位的故事，彰显了终身学习的精神。 1．细节理解题。由第一段中“Virginia Hislop receives a master’s degree in the 2024 diploma ceremony at the age of 105.

When a new group chat is created, the members will come to laugh at my inability to respond to a simple question in a matter of hours. I’m not a horrible replier in all aspects of my life. In fact, I pride myself on my swift response time when it comes to work emails, my manager and my mum. “Call me instead,” I tell my friends. “I’m a much better caller.” They know if it’s urgent and they need me, I’ll pick up and always be there. But if I read a message and I categorize it as non-urgent, then it’s a different story. When it comes to the group chats, the conversations move so rapidly that if I’m not present for five minutes, I’ve suddenly missed 67 messages concerning daily matters. By the time I’ve responded to their messages, many have already messaged back, and then I mentally file their non-urgent messages away in the non-urgent cabinet (柜) again, and thus the problematic cycle continues — the unavoidable iMessage quicksand (流沙). I want to stress I do love my friends and I am grateful to be included in all of the group chats. I simply find it a headache to keep up with the never-ending stream of messages that we’re flooded with throughout the day. In these moments, my friend’s messages go unanswered and I sometimes feel like throwing my phone into a lake, lying on the floor and staring at a wall. Alas, I recently asked my friend Tully how she felt about my texting habits. She’s the friend you can always rely on to give you the non-sugar-coated truth. “You take three to five business days to respond if we’re lucky,” she tells me. Ouch, but probably not wrong. “To be fair,” she adds, “when we do eventually get an answer out of you — you are always down for the plans, you always show up when we need you, you never cancel and you’re usually the one driving 40 minutes across town to see us southside so… we can handle the group chat silence in return for that kind of friendship.” 1．What will happen if a friend sends the author a message in a group chat? A．The author will respond very soon. B．The author will call her friend back. C．It might be deleted and put into the cabinet. D．It might be answered in several hours or even days. 2．What is the basis for the author’s decision on response time to a message? A．The quality of friendship. B．The degree of urgency. C．Random choice. D．Time order. 3．What does the author focus on in the third and fourth paragraphs? A．The value of interpersonal relationship. B．The importance of being in a group chat. C．Problems with group chat messages. D．Methods of using group chats in our life. 4．Which of the following can best describe the author? A．Creative. B．Irresponsible. C．Lazy. D．Trustworthy. 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．C 4．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者面对海量的信息，特别是群聊里的信息，通常会将它们归类成不重要的信息抛掷脑后。而当朋友们有紧急的事情找他时，可以给他打电话，他从不吝啬自己的帮助。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段中“When a new group chat is created, the members will come to laugh at my inability to respond to a simple question in a matter of hours. (当创建一个新的群聊时，成员们会嘲笑我不能在几个小时内回复一个简单的问题)”和最后一段中““You take three to five business days to respond if we’re lucky,” she tells me. (‘如果幸运的话，你需要三到五个工作日才能回复，’她告诉我)”可知，当朋友在群聊里给作者发消息时，可能会在几个小时甚至几天后才回复。故选D项。 2．细节理解题。根据第二段中“They know if it’s urgent and they need me, I’ll pick up and always be there. But if I read a message and I categorize it as non-urgent, then it’s a different story. (他们知道如果有紧急情况需要我，我会接电话，永远在那里。但如果我读到一条信息，并将其归类为非紧急信息，那么情况就不同了)”可知，作者决定对消息的回应时间是根据消息的紧急程度。故选B项。 3．主旨大意题。根据第三段中“When it comes to the group chats, the conversations move so rapidly that if I’m not present for five minutes, I’ve suddenly missed 67 messages concerning daily matters. (在群聊的时候，对话进行得如此之快，以至于如果我缺席五分钟，我就会突然错过67条与日常事务有关的信息)”和第四段中“I simply find it a headache to keep up with the never-ending stream of messages that we’re flooded with throughout the day. In these moments, my friend’s messages go unanswered and I sometimes feel like throwing my phone into a lake, lying on the floor and staring at a wall. (我只是觉得要跟上我们整天被淹没的没完没了的信息流是件令人头疼的事。在这些时刻，我朋友的信息无人回复，有时我想把手机扔进湖里，躺在地板上盯着墙看)”可知，第三段主要描述了群聊消息更新太快，第四段主要表明作者对源源不断的消息感到头疼，都是在说明群聊消息带来的问题。故选C项。 4．推理判断题。根据第二段中“I’m not a horrible replier in all aspects of my life. In fact, I pride myself on my swift response time when it comes to work emails, my manager and my mum. (在生活的各个方面，我都不是一个糟糕的回复者。事实上，当涉及到工作邮件、我的经理和我的妈妈时，我对自己的快速回复感到自豪)”和最后一段中““To be fair,” she adds, “when we do eventually get an answer out of you — you are always down for the plans, you always show up when we need you, you never cancel and you’re usually the one driving 40 minutes across town to see us southside so… we can handle the group chat silence in return for that kind of friendship.” (‘公平地说，’她补充道，‘当我们最终从你那里得到答复时——你总是按计划进行，总是在我们需要你的时候出现，你从不取消，而且通常是你开40分钟的车穿过城市到南边看我们，所以……我们可以处理群聊的沉默，作为对这种友谊的回报。’)”可知，作者总能快速回复重要的消息，及时地、可靠地帮助有需要的朋友。由此可知，作者是值得信赖的。故选D项。 （2025·江苏·一模）More than 20 years ago, Yung-Chi Cheng, a Yale professor in drug development for cancer, had a pioneering idea: what if he could unlock the potential of ancient Chinese medicines for treating cancer? What if he could design botanical drugs that would make traditional cancer treatments work better? No one had done it before. Fellow researchers and experts advised him to change course, because developing botanical drugs was too complicated and too risky. But Cheng didn’t let the idea go. Now, in a landmark moment in cancer research, Cheng and research partners are launching the first international clinical trial for a botanical drug, YIV-906. Shwu-Hucy Liu, a postdoctoral researcher in Cheng’s Yale lab, spent hours leafing through ancient Chinese texts at Yale’s library seeking the properties of Chinese herbs. She returned with Huang Qin Tang, a 1,800-year-old treatment for stomach illnesses, based on which the team developed a drug and tested it on one thousand mice. What followed were years of additional testing of the drug’s effectiveness for a range of cancers in multiple human studies involving over 200 patients. The positive effects displayed again and again, YIV-906 not only reduced the side effects of radiation treatment, but also led to faster recovery and longer survival rates. All they need now are larger data sets. When the results of the international trial are available about three years from now, YIV-906 may find itself next in a long line of breakthrough drugs developed from natural products, which includes a malaria (疟疾) treatment developed from the Chinese herb qinghao, the discovery of which led to a Nobel Prize for chemist Tu Youyou. It has been a long journey, but if Cheng and his team are successful, it could create a new approach for treating cancer. They called the new approach “WE” medicine, a combination of Western medicine and Eastern medicine. “It’s a totally new model. I’ve met with a lot of doubt, but think the results will speak for themselves,” Cheng said. 1．What did fellow researchers initially think of Cheng’s research? A．Creative. B．Comprehensive. C．Conventional. D．Challenging. 2．Why did Liu refer to ancient Chinese texts? A．She wanted to question ancient treatment methods. B．She desired to find inspiration for treating diseases. C．She tried to document the history of Chinese herbs. D．She determined to find a cure for stomach illnesses. 3．What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A．Steps of the drug testing. B．The application of YIV-906. C．Effects of the clinical trial. D．The effectiveness of YIY-906. 4．Why does the author mention Chinese herb qinghao? A．To illustrate the value of botanical drugs. B．To advocate the adoption of “WE” medicine. C．To praise Tu’s contributions to drug development. D．To highlight its success in medicine development. 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．D 4．A 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了耶鲁大学癌症药物开发教授郑永齐研究一种新的治疗癌症的方法。 1．推理判断题。根据第一段中“Fellow researchers and experts advised him to change course, because developing botanical drugs was too complicated and too risky. But Cheng didn’t let the idea go.( 其他研究人员和专家建议他改变路线，因为开发植物药物太复杂，风险太大。但是郑永齐并没有放弃这个想法)”可推知，研究人员最初认为郑永齐的研究是具有挑战性的。故选D项。 2．推理判断题。根据第二段中“Shwu-Hucy Liu, a postdoctoral researcher in Cheng’s Yale lab, spent hours leafing through ancient Chinese texts at Yale’s library seeking the properties of Chinese herbs. She returned with Huang Qin Tang, a 1,800-ycar-old treatment for stomach illnesses, based on which the team developed a drug and tested it on one thousand mice.( 郑永齐在耶鲁大学实验室的博士后研究员刘淑惠（音译）花了几个小时在耶鲁大学图书馆翻阅中国古代文献，寻找中草药的特性。她带着黄芩汤回来了，黄芩汤是一种有1800年历史的治疗胃病的药物，研究小组以此为基础开发了一种药物，并在1000只老鼠身上进行了测试)”可推知，刘淑惠参考中国古代文献是因为她希望找到治疗疾病的灵感。故选B项。 3．主旨大意题。根据第三段“What followed were years of additional testing of the drug’s effectiveness for a range of cancers in multiple human studies involving over 200 patients. The positive effects displayed again and again, YIV-906 not only reduced the side effects of radiation treatment, but also led to faster recovery and longer survival rates.( 接下来的几年里，科学家们在涉及200多名患者的多项人体研究中，对这种药物对一系列癌症的有效性进行了额外的测试。YIV-906不仅减少了放射治疗的副作用，而且恢复得更快，生存率更长，积极的效果一次又一次地显示出来)”可知，第三段主要讲了YIV-906的有效性。故选D项。 4．推理判断题。根据第四段中“When the results of the international trial are available about three years from now, YIV-906 may find itself next in a long line of breakthrough drugs developed from natural products, which includes a malaria (疟疾) treatment developed from the Chinese herb ginghao, the discovery of which led to a Nobel Prize for chemist Tu Youyou.( 大约三年后，当国际试验的结果公布时，YIV-906可能会成为从天然产物中开发的一长串突破性药物中的下一个，其中包括从中药青蒿中开发的一种治疗疟疾的药物，该药物的发现使化学家屠呦呦获得了诺贝尔奖)”可推知，作者提到中药青蒿是为了说明植物性药物的价值。故选A项。 （24-25高三上·江苏·阶段练习）“Keep learning and strive to be the best in your field” is the motto of Xu Zhenchao, a 74-year-old technician at Shandong Port Group’s Qingdao Port in Shandong province.

Hass, who was then her undergraduate literature professor. He instructed each student to memorize three poems of their choosing from The Norton Anthology of American Literature — not for any urgent exam reason, he claimed, but instead to prepare them for their unavoidable future solitude(孤独). At some point, Caetlin recalls him saying, you’re going to be alone, and poetry is going to be all you have. If the task was a strange one, it’s because the act of memorizing a poem feels curiously old-fashioned in an era when few of us encounter poetry at all. When I was in graduate school, working toward a degree in English literature, I mostly limited myself to prose (散文). It was only in my 40s that I began to change my ways. It happened in a flight to Seattle. For hours, I read nothing else but a poem. Sometimes I spoke its lines aloud, my voice masked by the airplane’s thrum. Sometimes I went through the whole poem at once, and sometimes I repeated a single stanza (诗节) over and over, and by the time my plane landed on the West Coast, I had the whole thing, all 40 lines of it, in my head. Because the process is as simple as it is very boring, memorizing a great poem always begins as a crime. The boredom of repetition reduces the great charm it has. But as you run your hands through the rock, the lines at last come together again, and the scattered text transforms back into a treasure, often a more valuable one than it was before. In other words, poetry survives continuously by becoming a part of those who read it. It can do so only because it is so specific, so entirely different from us, that taking it in expands our own sense of what we are. Some of the poems I’ve memorized are already fading, and that’s fine. I know that if I spend a little time with them, they’ll sing in me again. Others keep thumping in me like a new pulse. I won’t promise you that memorizing poetry will make your life better, but it will make you more: more in touch with language, with other minds, maybe with what you might yet become. 1．Why did Robert L. Hass advise students to read poems? A．To become literature professors. B．To prepare for the coming exams. C．To compose more original poems. D．To relieve their future loneliness. 2．Why does the author say that memorizing a poem begins as a crime? A．It’s out of date to recite poems. B．Repetition wastes a lot of time. C．Repetition spoils the poem’s beauty. D．It’s a shame to read poems on plane. 3．How does understanding poetry influence us? A．By broadening self-understanding. B．By refreshing our good memories. C．By helping us survive the hard life. D．By reminding us to forget the past. 4．What is the author’s attitude towards memorizing poetry in the last paragraph? A．Doubtful. B．Appreciative. C．Dismissive. D．Critical. 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．A 4．B 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章作者通过回忆自己和朋友Caetlin与诗歌的接触和经历，表达了对诗歌的热爱和对其价值的思考，同时也通过诗歌的背诵和感悟，表达了对生活、自我和成长的看法。 1．细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Decades ago, my friend Caetlin received a special assignment from the poet Robert L. Hass, who was then her undergraduate literature professor. He instructed each student to memorize three poems of their choosing from The Norton Anthology of American Literature— not for any urgent exam reason, he claimed, but instead to prepare them for their unavoidable future solitude. (几十年前，我的朋友Caetlin从她当时的本科文学教授、诗人Robert L. Hass那里接到了一项特别的任务。他要求每位学生从《诺顿美国文学选集》中选择并背诵三首诗——他声称，这并不是为了应付任何紧迫的考试，而是为了让他们为未来不可避免的孤独时光做好准备。)”可知，Hass建议学生阅读诗歌是为了让他们为未来不可避免的孤独时光做好准备。故选D。 2．细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Because the process is as simple as it is very boring, memorizing a great poem always begins as a crime. The boredom of repetition reduces the great charm it has. (因为背诵一首伟大的诗歌的过程既简单又枯燥，所以它一开始总像是一项苦差事。重复的枯燥减少了它原有的魅力。)”可知，重复的枯燥减少了诗歌原有的魅力，即破坏了诗歌的美。因此，作者说背诵诗歌一开始就像是一种罪行，是因为重复破坏了诗歌的美。故选C。 3．细节理解题。根据文章第四段“It can do so only because it is so specific, so entirely different from us, that taking it in expands our own sense of what we are. (它能够做到这一点，正是因为它极具特性，与我们截然不同，吸收它能让我们的自我意识得以扩展。)”可知，诗歌之所以能做到这一点，正是因为它极具特性，与我们截然不同，吸收它能让我们对自己的认知得以扩展，即理解诗歌可以通过拓宽自我认知来影响我们。故选A。 4．推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“I won’t promise you that memorizing poetry will make your life better, but it will make you more: more in touch with language, with other minds, maybe with what you might yet become. (我不会向你保证背诵诗歌会让你的生活变得更好，但它会让你变得更加丰富：更加熟悉语言，更加了解他人的思想，也许还能让你更加接近自己可能成为的样子。)”可推测，作者对背诵诗歌持有赞赏的态度。故选B。 （24-25高三上·江苏苏州·阶段练习）On a diving holiday in the Philippines last October, with seven other advanced divers, I dived off the boat, slowly sinking to about 20m. 45 minutes later, a low rumble like an engine drowned out the sound of my breathing and I felt deep powerful vibrations (振动) as if a big boat was passing overhead. The dive instructor’s eyes were wide with confusion too. We both swam next to each other staying close to the side of the reef. The situation felt sinister. Then we were enveloped by clouds of white sand that mushroomed up around us. Could it be a giant turtle racing past us? They are normally slow mover so this was very weird behavior. The vibration became so intense that I could feel it in my bones and then the sound turned into a deafening roar. Suddenly, a few meters below us, breaks began forming and the sand was sucked down. That was when I got what it was. The noise was the sound of the earth splitting open and grinding (碾压) against itself. We held hands and looked into each other’s eyes, comforted by each other’s presence. My body went on high alert and it took enormous willpower to resist the urge to swim to the surface, which was not sensible as situation on the surface at that time was unclear with potential threats. The sound and vibration lasted only two or three minutes and when swimming back, we all held hands before resurfacing to avoid decompression sickness, which can be deadly. Back on the boat, we checked the news and discovered we had witnessed a huge earthquake measuring 7.2 on the Richter scale. It released more energy than 30 Hiroshima bombs, though it seemed that we were not at the epicenter (震中) . I was high and felt lucky surprisingly not because of my recent survival miracle, but to have experienced nature at its most stunning and its most frightening. 1．What does the underlined word “sinister” in paragraph. 2 probably mean? A．Amazing. B．Embarrassing. C．Promising. D．Threatening. 2．What made the author aware of what was happening? A．Observing the seabed cracking. B．Feeling the violent undersea shake. C．Being informed of the event. D．Witnessing a turtle’s abnormal behavior. 3．What stopped the divers to rise to the surface instantly? A．The potential deadly disease. B．The unclear situation in the water. C．The possible unexpected danger above. D．The instructor’s gesturing them not to rise. 4．Which could be the best title of the passage? A．The Charm of Exploration. B．A Close Encounter with Nature. C．A Frightening Earthquake. D．A Cation from Underwater World. 【答案】1．D 2．A 3．C 4．B 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了作者在潜水时亲眼目睹了一次大地震发生的经历。 1．词句猜测题。根据划线处上句“45 minutes later, a low rumble like an engine drowned out the sound of my breathing and I felt deep powerful vibrations (展动) as if a big boat was passing overhead. The dive instructor’s eyes were wide with confusion too.(45分钟后，一声低沉的轰鸣声淹没了我的呼吸声，我感到强烈的震动，仿佛有一艘大船从头顶驶过。潜水教练的眼睛也睁得大大的，充满了困惑)”可知，作者和教练感受到低沉的轰鸣声以及强烈的震动，可推知这让人感到处境很危险，划线处和D项：Threatening(险恶的；凶兆的)意思相近。故选D。 2．细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Suddenly, a few meters below us, breaks began forming and the sand was sucked down. That was when I got what it was. The noise was the sound of the earth splitting open and grinding (碾压) against itself.(突然，在我们下面几米的地方，裂缝开始形成，沙子被吸了下去。那时我才明白是怎么回事。那声音是大地裂开的声音，是大地自我摩擦的声音)”可知，见到海底裂缝使作者意识到他们遇上了地震。故选A。 3．细节理解题。根据文章第四段“My body went on high alert and it took enormous willpower to resist the urge to swim to the surface, which was not sensible as situation on the surface at that time was unclear with potential threats.(我的身体处于高度戒备状态，需要巨大的意志力来抵抗游向水面的冲动，这是不明智的，因为当时水面的情况不清楚，有潜在的威胁)”可知，上面可能出现的意外危险阻止潜水员立即浮出水面。故选C。 4．主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段“I was high and felt lucky surprisingly not because of my recent survival miracle, but to have experienced nature at its most stunning and its most frightening.(我很兴奋，觉得自己很幸运，这并不是因为我最近的生存奇迹，而是因为我经历了大自然最令人震惊和最可怕的一面)”以及全文可知，文章讲述了作者在潜水时亲眼目睹了一次大地震发生的经历。B项：A Close Encounter with Nature.(与大自然的亲密接触)合乎题意，可以作为最佳标题。故选B。 （24-25高三上·江苏泰州·阶段练习）On the last days of July, I moved to a flat in Brixton and joined those with a garden for the first time. Before moving, I lived in a flat surrounded by a small plot of woodland nearby. There were a good six weeks during which the dawn chorus was so loud that waking up at 5 am was a daily routine. Watching the birds became a soap opera I was deeply invested in. In Brixton, though, all I could hear was traffic. Although I knew clearly that cities are not strongholds of naturalism, and that nature is always there waiting for me to find it, it still took me a while to get used to the fact that I had to walk more than five minutes to find a green space. It was for this reason that I turned to gardening. I’m not a formally trained gardener; I taught myself on a concrete balcony, four stories up on a hill in Camberwell in my mid-20s. The only garden I had previously had access to as an adult, in Hackney at the start of my career, was used for parties, barbecues and playing with the neighbor’s cat. Filled with blind enthusiasm and curiosity, I picked up plants from supermarkets and flower markets, often killing them out of love and then starting all over again. I often spent whole weekends in that small space. The balcony had a good view: one of London’s shining skylines beneath high skies that changed color and cloud by the minute. But it was so small that you had to look closely, and looking closely is an essential part of enjoying nature, wherever you find it. And to be out on the balcony allowed me to care about things that were bigger than my career, relationship or sense of self. When all three started to waver (动摇), it was gardening — and nature more broadly — that enabled me to find a new way of life. 1．What is one challenge the author faced after moving to Brixton? A．Dealing with a noisy neighbor. B．Finding a suitable place for parties. C．Adjusting to the lack of green space. D．Getting used to the city’s heavy traffic. 2．What was the author’s initial experience with gardening? A．She learned gardening all by herself. B．She had a natural talent for gardening. C．She had a large garden in her childhood home. D．She started gardening in a small woodland area. 3．What did the author learn from her gardening experience in Camberwell? A．The key to being a successful gardener. B．The way to master gardening on her own. C．The importance of looking closely at nature. D．The method of getting along well with neighbors. 4．What would be the best title for the text? A．How I Overcame Challenges in Gardening B．How I Adapted Myself to Life in Cities C．How I Turned Gardening into a Hobby D．How I Found Nature in Cities 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．C 4．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者搬到布里克斯顿后，通过园艺在城市中重新找到与自然连接的故事。 1．细节理解题。由文章第三段“Although I knew clearly that cities are not strongholds of naturalism, and that nature is always there waiting for me to find it, it still took me a while to get used to the fact that I had to walk more than five minutes to find a green space. (虽然我清楚地知道城市不是自然主义的大本营，自然总是在那里等着我去寻找，但我还是花了一段时间来适应我必须步行五分钟以上才能找到一块绿地的事实。)”可知，作者搬到Brixton后面临的一个挑战是适应缺乏绿色空间的情况。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据文章第四段中“I’m not a formally trained gardener; I taught myself on a concrete balcony, four stories up on a hill in Camberwell in my mid-20s. (我不是受过正规训练的园丁；20多岁时，我在坎伯韦尔一座山上四层楼高的混凝土阳台上自学。)”可知，作者最初是自学园艺的。故选A。 3．推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中“But it was so small that you had to look closely, and looking closely is an essential part of enjoying nature, wherever you find it. (但它太小了，你必须仔细观察，仔细观察是享受大自然的重要组成部分，无论你在哪里找到它。)”可以推断出，作者学到了仔细观察自然的重要性。故选C。 4．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是由文章第三段“Although I knew clearly that cities are not strongholds of naturalism, and that nature is always there waiting for me to find it, it still took me a while to get used to the fact that I had to walk more than five minutes to find a green space. (虽然我清楚地知道城市不是自然主义的大本营，自然总是在那里等着我去寻找，但我还是花了一段时间来适应我必须步行五分钟以上才能找到一块绿地的事实。)”和最后一段中“And to be out on the balcony allowed me to care about things that were bigger than my career, relationship or sense of self. When all three started to waver (动摇), it was gardening — and nature more broadly — that enabled me to find a new way of life.(在阳台上，我可以关注一些比我的事业、人际关系或自我意识更重要的事情。当这三者都开始动摇时，正是园艺——以及更广泛的大自然——让我找到了一种新的生活方式。)”可知，整篇文章围绕着作者如何在城市生活中寻找和接近自然，特别是在自己有限的空间里通过园艺活动找到与自然的联系。因此最合适的标题是“How I Found Nature in Cities (我如何在城市中发现自然)”。这既涵盖了作者在城市中寻找自然的经历，也反映了她通过园艺活动找到了新的生活方式。故选D。 （24-25高三上·江苏盐城·阶段练习）Eeka McLeod is raising three kids, two chickens, one dog, one cat and… ducks? Yes, ducks. “I had always wanted ducks, or at least one duck,” she tells USA TODAY over a video call from her home in Arizona, with a diaper-clad (带着尿布的) duck named Mooney resting in a baby house at her side. “I’ve also wanted deer — don’t get me started on that — but anyways, I’ve always wanted ducks.” So, she took a quack at it. McLeod got her wish for family ducks after she moved her three kids from California to the Grand Canyon State in April of last year. Her mental health was falling, not to mention she was diagnosed with a few autoimmune diseases (自身免疫性疾病). McLeod, 43, is a single mum and she wanted to own a house to hand-down to her kids one day — therefore the move to a much richer state. After they settled in, McLeod finally scratched the itch last August. “I’m going to do it. Today’s the day,” she remembers. A local organic farm store in Mesa had 12 ducklings and they told her to come in. Her kids didn’t believe what was happening. “It took them a few minutes,” she says. “I think they thought that I was really making fun of them.” But there the ducks were, in a tub under a heat lamp and everything. The family took two home that day: Jelly and Mooney, both Indian Runner ducks. They later raised a third, Topsy, a Cayuga duck. It’s changed their life for the better, and excited millions of TikTok followers and hundreds of thousands of Instagram followers along the way. Research shows, after all, pets lower stress levels and even help with heart health. “The ducks came into our lives during such a — especially for me — just a really dark period and just brightened up our lives,” she says. “They have brought us the unbelievable happiness, and it’s always something that we’re laughing about together.” 1．When did McLeod start wanting ducks? A．Last August. B．Last April. C．Before she moved to the new state. D．Before she was ill. 2．What does the underlined phrase “scratched the itch” in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A．Satisfied a desire. B．Felt very nervous. C．Had a skin problem. D．Made a big fortune. 3．How many ducks does McLeod raise in all? A．One. B．Three. C．Twelve. D．Fifteen. 4．What does McLeod mainly want to tell us? A．How ducks changed her life. B．Her experience of moving. C．The benefits of having pets. D．How ducks are raised. 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．B 4．A 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了Eeka McLeod带着三个孩子从加州搬到亚利桑那州后，如何通过养鸭子改善了自己和家人的生活质量，并在这个过程中获得了大量社交媒体的关注。 1．推理判断题。根据文章第二段““I had always wanted ducks, or at least one duck,” she tells USA TODAY over a video call from her home in Arizona, with a diaper-clad (带着尿布的) duck named Mooney resting in a baby house at her side. (“我一直想要鸭子，或者至少一只鸭子，”她在家中通过视频通话告诉《今日美国》，旁边是一个穿着尿布的名叫穆尼的鸭子，它正躺在一个婴儿屋里休息)”以及第三段中“McLeod got her wish for family ducks after she moved her three kids from California to the Grand Canyon State in April of last year. (麦克劳德在去年四月把她的三个孩子从加利福尼亚搬到了大峡谷州之后，实现了她拥有家庭鸭子的愿望)”可知，McLeod在把三个孩子从加利福尼亚州搬到大峡谷州之后实现了养鸭子的愿望，而这件事发生在去年四月。由此推知，她在搬到新州之前就想要鸭子了。故选C。 2．词句猜测题。根据文章第四段中“After they settled in, McLeod finally scratched the itch last August. (在他们安顿下来之后，麦克劳德终于在去年八月scratched the itch)”可知，“scratched the itch”是一个比喻，指的是满足了她的愿望或欲望。根据上下文可以推断出，她之前一直想养鸭子，现在终于实现了这个愿望。所以“scratched the itch”在这里的意思是“满足了愿望”。A.Satisfied a desire满足一个愿望； B. Felt very nervous感到非常紧张；C. Had a skin problem有皮肤问题； D. Made a big fortune发了一大笔财。故选A。 3．细节理解题。根据文章第五段中“The family took two home that day: Jelly and Mooney, both Indian Runner ducks. They later raised a third, Topsy, a Cayuga duck. (那天这家人带了两只回家：Jelly和Mooney，都是印度跑鸭。后来他们又养了一只，Topsy，一只卡尤加鸭)”可知，McLeod家一开始养了两只鸭子：Jelly和Mooney，后来又养了一只叫Topsy的鸭子。由此可知，McLeod家一共养了三只鸭子。故选B。 4．主旨大意题。通读全文，文章主要讲述了McLeod一家养鸭子的经历，以及这些鸭子给他们的生活带来的变化和快乐，尤其是根据文章倒数第二段中“It’s changed their life for the better, and excited millions of TikTok followers and hundreds of thousands of Instagram followers along the way. (它改变了他们的生活，让他们过得更好，一路上还激动了数百万抖音粉丝和数十万Instagram粉丝)”以及最后一段中““The ducks came into our lives during such a — especially for me — just a really dark period and just brightened up our lives,” she says. (“鸭子在我们生活中出现的时候正是——特别是对我来说——一段非常黑暗的时期，它们真的点亮了我们的生活，”她说)”可知，文章主要讲述了鸭子如何改变了McLeod一家的生活。故选A。 重难语篇拔高练 （24-25高三上·江苏苏州·阶段练习）During the summer, Hu Miaokun, a 19-year-old diagnosed with congenital (先天的) deafness at the age of two, experienced a life-altering moment: he received acceptance letters from seven universities. This achievement symbolizes more than a decade of unwavering efforts in a world of silence. Hu, born in 2005 in a village in Macheng, Central China’s Hubei province, has faced various obstacles throughout his life — he lost his father at the age of five and moved in with his grandparents after his mother remarried. However, Hu’s passion for learning always ran high. With the encouragement and support of his family, he enrolled in a school specifically designed for hearing-impaired children. “Adapting to life in a group was tough,” Hu signed. “I had to get used to the new environment, follow new rules, and learn how to interact with others. But over time, these challenges became easier to manage.” Hu recalls how his teachers used various tailored techniques and tools to support student learning. These included multimedia lessons, hearing aids, speech recognition devices, and other assistive technologies, all designed to make learning more accessible. After completing middle school, Hu continued his education at a specialized high school in Wuhan, the capital of Hubei province. The school offered a broader curriculum, including English. However, for students with hearing and speech impairments, learning a foreign language can be particularly difficult. While many of his peers had some basic knowledge of the language and were exposed to English through songs, movies, and everyday conversations, Hu had no prior exposure, making the task even more daunting. “For me, the key to learning English is through reading, writing, and translation,” Hu signed. He created a detailed study plan and adhered to it, learning to prioritize his tasks and manage his time effectively. This year, Hu Miaokun took the national college entrance examination, or gaokao. His hard work paid off. Since May, Hu Miaokun has received acceptance letters from all seven universities to which he applied. Ultimately, Hu Miaokun decided to pursue product design at his dream school, Tianjin University of Technology. With ambitions of becoming a 3D designer specializing in product modeling, he is now focusing on mastering various modeling software, such as 3ds Max and Adobe Illustrator. “I’m deeply thankful to my aunt and everyone who has supported me,” Hu Miaokun signed. “I will continue to work hard in my studies and, in the future, use my skills to inspire and assist others.” 1．What does the underlined word “unwavering” in Paragraph 1 probably mean? A．Modest. B．Ambitious. C．Tolerant. D．Determined. 2．By mentioning English, the author intends to ________. A．recommend the key to learning B．show the barriers Hu encountered C．highlight the importance of English D．promote daily interactions in English 3．What do we know about Hu Miaokun? A．He refused to follow new rules. B．He failed to adapt to his school life. C．He was junior to his classmates in learning. D．He was into learning despite many difficulties. 4．What can be a suitable title for the text? A．“Deaf” Teenagers in a World of Silence B．“Silent” but Not Silent: Hu Miaokun’s Sad Story C．Hearing-disadvantaged Teen’s Journey to University Success D．A Teenager’s Battle Against Silence: From Struggle to Survival 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．D 4．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了先天耳聋的胡淼坤的求学经历。经过不懈努力，最终他收到了七所大学的录取通知书，而他选择了天津理工大学，打算继续追求自己的梦想。 1．词句猜测题。根据画线词前的“During the summer, Hu Miaokun, a 19-year-old diagnosed with congenital (先天的) deafness at the age of two, experienced a life-altering moment: he received acceptance letters from seven universities.(今年夏天，19岁的胡淼坤经历了一个改变人生的时刻：他收到了七所大学的录取通知书。胡苗坤在两岁时被诊断为先天性耳聋。)”可知，胡淼坤两岁时被诊断为先天性耳聋，而今取得如今的成就，是他十多年如一日努力的结果，由此可推测出，这里表示十多年坚定的努力,unwavering意为“坚定的，始终如一的”，与determined(坚定的)意思一致。故选D。 2．推理判断题。根据第五段中的“The school offered a broader curriculum, including English. However, for students with hearing and speech impairments, learning a foreign language can be particularly difficult. While many of his peers had some basic knowledge of the language and were exposed to English through songs, movies, and everyday conversations, Hu had no prior exposure, making the task even more daunting.(学校提供更广泛的课程，包括英语。然而，对于听力和言语障碍的学生来说，学习一门外语可能特别困难。虽然他的许多同龄人对英语有一些基本的了解，并通过歌曲、电影和日常对话接触过英语，但胡之前没有接触过，这使得这项任务更加艰巨。)”可知，学校有英语这门课，但对于有听力和言语障碍的学生来说，学习英语很困难，而且胡淼坤之前没有接触过英语，所以这门课对他来说任务艰巨，由此可推测出，作者提到英语，是为了说明胡淼坤学习时所遇到的障碍。故选B。 3．细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Hu, born in 2005 in a village in Macheng, Central China’s Hubei province, has faced various obstacles throughout his life — he lost his father at the age of five and moved in with his grandparents after his mother remarried. However, Hu’s passion for learning always ran high.(胡于2005年出生在中国中部湖北省麻城市的一个村庄，他一生都面临着各种各样的障碍——他在五岁时失去了父亲，在母亲再婚后搬到了祖父母家。然而，胡对学习的热情始终高涨。)”可知，尽管有许多困难，但他依然对学习很感兴趣。故选D。 4．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中的“During the summer, Hu Miaokun, a 19-year-old diagnosed with congenital (先天的) deafness at the age of two, experienced a life-altering moment: he received acceptance letters from seven universities.(今年夏天，在2岁时被诊断出患有先天性耳聋、19岁的胡淼坤，经历了一个改变人生的时刻：他收到了七所大学的录取通知书。)”可知，本文主要围绕胡淼坤的求学成功之路展开，虽然他患有先天性耳聋，但他克服了种种困难，最终考入心仪大学，去追求自己的梦想，所以C项“听力受损青少年的大学成功之路”最适合作本文标题。故选C。 （24-25高三上·江苏扬州·阶段练习）As I stepped out of the punishing Arizona heat and into the cool air-conditioned hall of the meeting center, I saw a sea of costumed attendees. Some wore complicated steampunk clothes; others were dressed up as their favorite Marvel or Star Wars characters. “How could I agree to this?” I thought as I made my way to the room where I’d give a talk about the science behind the classic Dune books by Frank Herbert. Then I saw the audience's excitement. I had been struggling for years to find new ways to communicate science to a broad audience. When I went into my Ph. D．program, research soon began to consume most of my time. When I spoke about my research, it was mostly directed at people within my Ph. D．field: workmates, collaborators, thesis committee members. I struggled to explain how my research might apply in the real world. Then I took a trip to Maine, where many fellows were great readers and excited to share stories about the latest books they’d consumed. I could vividly recall every detail of the papers piling up back in the lab, yet I couldn’t remember the last book I had read for pleasure. “Is my Ph. D．killing my love of science?” I thought. When I returned home, I determined to devote more of my time to doing things I love outside the lab, especially reading for pleasure. My eldest brother had recommended a science fiction book, so I started with that. It was refreshing to think about science in a new way. I kept reading science fiction in the years after I finished my Ph. D．But I still hadn’t gotten back to communicating science to the public. Then, one night I found myself in a conversation with my new policy colleagues about science fiction concepts. One invited me to speak at the pop culture convention. When the day came to present, I felt worried until I was behind the platform and saw the bright-eyed, eager attendees. After I finished, I was flooded with questions and comments. It suddenly occurred to me that this was my path back to science communication. 1．What did the author have difficulty doing during his Ph. D．program? A．Balancing work and personal life. B．Making his research accepted by co-workers. C．Keeping up with the latest scientific papers. D．Explaining the practical value of his research. 2．What caused the author to question his love of science? A．He lacked interest in reading science books. B．He struggled to understand what the fellows shared. C．He suffered great pressure from his Ph. D．He failed to recall the last book he’d read for fun program. 3．Why did the author’s trip to Maine serve as a crucial turning point? A．Because it directly led to him securing the speaking opportunity at the pop culture convention. B．Because it provided him with a new network of contacts in the science communication field. C．Because it reignited his passion for reading and indirectly inspired a renewed interest in science communication. D．Because it forced him to confront his academic shortcomings and seek professional development opportunities. 4．What can we learn about the author from the last paragraph? A．He should focus more on his academic career. B．He enjoyed giving presentations more than doing research. C．He has found a new way to communicate science to the public. D．He has developed a great passion for pop culture. 【答案】1．D 2．D 3．C 4．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要介绍的是作者如何在职业发展中重拾对科学的热爱，并找到向公众传播科学的新途径，以及参与科幻大会的经历。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段的“When I spoke about my research, it was mostly directed at people within my Ph. D. field: workmates, collaborators, thesis committee members. I struggled to explain how my research might apply in the real world.(当我谈论我的研究时，大部分都是针对我博士领域内的人：同事、合作者、论文委员会成员。我很难解释我的研究如何在现实世界中应用。)”可知，作者在博士项目期间难以向他人解释自己研究的实际价值。故选D项。 2．细节理解题。根据第三段的“I could vividly recall every detail of the papers piling up back in the lab, yet I couldn’t remember the last book I had read for pleasure. “Is my Ph. D. killing my love of science?” I thought. (我可以生动地回忆起实验室里堆积如山的论文的每一个细节，但我记不清上次为了乐趣读书是什么时候了。我想：“我的博士学位是在扼杀我对科学的热爱吗？)”可知，作者因为无法回忆起上次为了乐趣读书是什么时候而质疑自己对科学的热爱。故选D项。 3．推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Then I took a trip to Maine, where many fellows were great readers and excited to share stories about the latest books they’d consumed. I could vividly recall every detail of the papers piling up back in the lab, yet I couldn’t remember the last book I had read for pleasure.(然后我去了缅因州，那里的许多人都是伟大的读者，他们很兴奋地分享他们最近读过的书的故事。我能生动地回忆起实验室里堆积如山的论文的每一个细节，但我不记得我最近读的一本书是什么了。)”以及“When I returned home, I determined to devote more of my time to doing things I love outside the lab, especially reading for pleasure. My eldest brother had recommended a science fiction book, so I started with that. It was refreshing to think about science in a new way.(回到家后，我决定把更多的时间花在实验室之外我喜欢做的事情上，尤其是阅读。我大哥给我推荐了一本科幻小说，所以我就从这本书开始。以一种新的方式思考科学是令人耳目一新的。)”可知，这次旅行中，作者与很多喜欢分享最新书籍故事的伙伴交流，这使他决定要花更多时间做自己喜欢的事情，特别是阅读，这种转变间接激发了他对科学传播的新兴趣。故选C项。 4．推理判断题。根据第二段的“I had been struggling for years to find new ways to communicate science to a broad audience.(多年来，我一直在努力寻找向广大受众传播科学的新方法。)”和最后一段的“After I finished, I was flooded with questions and comments. It suddenly occurred to me that this was my path back to science communication.(在我讲完后，我收到了很多问题和评论。我突然意识到，这是我回归科学传播的道路。)”可知，作者一直在努力寻找向广大受众传播科学的新方法，终于从这次演讲中找到了一种新的方式来向公众传播科学。故选C项。 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(江苏专用) 第五期 专题04 阅读理解之记叙文10篇(江苏高考模拟) 基础语篇巩固练 （24-25高三上·江苏常州·阶段练习）Virginia Hislop receives a master’s degree in the 2024 diploma ceremony at the age of 105. When she started at the GSE in 1936 — then the Stanford University School of Education — her plan was to get her bachelor’s of education, which she did in 1940, and obtain her master’s of education so she could teach, which she started directly after. However, just after completing her coursework and just before turning in her final thesis, her then-boyfriend George Hislop, a GSE student in Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (ROTC), got called in to serve during World War II, prompting the pair to get married and Virginia Hislop to leave campus before graduating. Now, 83 years after leaving campus and living in service to learning, Hislop returned to Stanford to finish what she started and receive her graduate degree. Looking back on her career, Hislop credits her time at Stanford and the things she’ s learned from community partners along the way for her ability to impact students. “I think I did good things for our local school system and I helped broaden it out,” she said. “For me, this degree is an appreciation of the many years I’ve put in working for the schools in the Yakima area and on different boards.” At the Diploma ceremony, GSE Dean Daniel Schwartz concurred, saying Hislop “led a life of tremendous educational accomplishment.” Her fellow graduates and their families gave her a standing ovation. When Hislop rose from her seat, dressed in cap and gown, to walk across the stage and receive her master’s hood (兜帽), the applause roared once again. She greeted Schwartz on stage and was handed her diploma. She smiled for the cameras. Her grandkids and great- grandkids waved and cheered. “My goodness,” Hislop said. “I’ve waited a long time for this.” 1．When did Virginia Hislop leave campus to marry and how old was she? A．1940; 21 B．1940; 22 C．1941; 21 D．1941; 22 2．Why did Virginia Hislop decide to return to Stanford? A．She was inspired by her family. B．She needed her master’s of education to teach. C．She benefited from it as a teacher. D．She wanted to achieve her original learning goals. 3．What does the underlined word “ovation” in paragraph 4 mean? A．Welcome. B．Salute. C．Applause.

When a new group chat is created, the members will come to laugh at my inability to respond to a simple question in a matter of hours. I’m not a horrible replier in all aspects of my life. In fact, I pride myself on my swift response time when it comes to work emails, my manager and my mum. “Call me instead,” I tell my friends. “I’m a much better caller.” They know if it’s urgent and they need me, I’ll pick up and always be there. But if I read a message and I categorize it as non-urgent, then it’s a different story. When it comes to the group chats, the conversations move so rapidly that if I’m not present for five minutes, I’ve suddenly missed 67 messages concerning daily matters. By the time I’ve responded to their messages, many have already messaged back, and then I mentally file their non-urgent messages away in the non-urgent cabinet (柜) again, and thus the problematic cycle continues — the unavoidable iMessage quicksand (流沙). I want to stress I do love my friends and I am grateful to be included in all of the group chats. I simply find it a headache to keep up with the never-ending stream of messages that we’re flooded with throughout the day. In these moments, my friend’s messages go unanswered and I sometimes feel like throwing my phone into a lake, lying on the floor and staring at a wall. Alas, I recently asked my friend Tully how she felt about my texting habits. She’s the friend you can always rely on to give you the non-sugar-coated truth. “You take three to five business days to respond if we’re lucky,” she tells me. Ouch, but probably not wrong. “To be fair,” she adds, “when we do eventually get an answer out of you — you are always down for the plans, you always show up when we need you, you never cancel and you’re usually the one driving 40 minutes across town to see us southside so… we can handle the group chat silence in return for that kind of friendship.” 1．What will happen if a friend sends the author a message in a group chat? A．The author will respond very soon. B．The author will call her friend back. C．It might be deleted and put into the cabinet. D．It might be answered in several hours or even days. 2．What is the basis for the author’s decision on response time to a message? A．The quality of friendship. B．The degree of urgency. C．Random choice. D．Time order. 3．What does the author focus on in the third and fourth paragraphs? A．The value of interpersonal relationship. B．The importance of being in a group chat. C．Problems with group chat messages. D．Methods of using group chats in our life. 4．Which of the following can best describe the author? A．Creative. B．Irresponsible. C．Lazy. D．Trustworthy. （2025·江苏·一模）More than 20 years ago, Yung-Chi Cheng, a Yale professor in drug development for cancer, had a pioneering idea: what if he could unlock the potential of ancient Chinese medicines for treating cancer? What if he could design botanical drugs that would make traditional cancer treatments work better? No one had done it before. Fellow researchers and experts advised him to change course, because developing botanical drugs was too complicated and too risky. But Cheng didn’t let the idea go. Now, in a landmark moment in cancer research, Cheng and research partners are launching the first international clinical trial for a botanical drug, YIV-906. Shwu-Hucy Liu, a postdoctoral researcher in Cheng’s Yale lab, spent hours leafing through ancient Chinese texts at Yale’s library seeking the properties of Chinese herbs. She returned with Huang Qin Tang, a 1,800-year-old treatment for stomach illnesses, based on which the team developed a drug and tested it on one thousand mice. What followed were years of additional testing of the drug’s effectiveness for a range of cancers in multiple human studies involving over 200 patients. The positive effects displayed again and again, YIV-906 not only reduced the side effects of radiation treatment, but also led to faster recovery and longer survival rates. All they need now are larger data sets. When the results of the international trial are available about three years from now, YIV-906 may find itself next in a long line of breakthrough drugs developed from natural products, which includes a malaria (疟疾) treatment developed from the Chinese herb qinghao, the discovery of which led to a Nobel Prize for chemist Tu Youyou.

Hass, who was then her undergraduate literature professor. He instructed each student to memorize three poems of their choosing from The Norton Anthology of American Literature — not for any urgent exam reason, he claimed, but instead to prepare them for their unavoidable future solitude(孤独). At some point, Caetlin recalls him saying, you’re going to be alone, and poetry is going to be all you have. If the task was a strange one, it’s because the act of memorizing a poem feels curiously old-fashioned in an era when few of us encounter poetry at all. When I was in graduate school, working toward a degree in English literature, I mostly limited myself to prose (散文). It was only in my 40s that I began to change my ways. It happened in a flight to Seattle. For hours, I read nothing else but a poem. Sometimes I spoke its lines aloud, my voice masked by the airplane’s thrum. Sometimes I went through the whole poem at once, and sometimes I repeated a single stanza (诗节) over and over, and by the time my plane landed on the West Coast, I had the whole thing, all 40 lines of it, in my head. Because the process is as simple as it is very boring, memorizing a great poem always begins as a crime. The boredom of repetition reduces the great charm it has. But as you run your hands through the rock, the lines at last come together again, and the scattered text transforms back into a treasure, often a more valuable one than it was before. In other words, poetry survives continuously by becoming a part of those who read it. It can do so only because it is so specific, so entirely different from us, that taking it in expands our own sense of what we are. Some of the poems I’ve memorized are already fading, and that’s fine. I know that if I spend a little time with them, they’ll sing in me again. Others keep thumping in me like a new pulse. I won’t promise you that memorizing poetry will make your life better, but it will make you more: more in touch with language, with other minds, maybe with what you might yet become. 1．Why did Robert L. Hass advise students to read poems? A．To become literature professors. B．To prepare for the coming exams. C．To compose more original poems. D．To relieve their future loneliness. 2．Why does the author say that memorizing a poem begins as a crime? A．It’s out of date to recite poems. B．Repetition wastes a lot of time. C．Repetition spoils the poem’s beauty. D．It’s a shame to read poems on plane. 3．How does understanding poetry influence us? A．By broadening self-understanding. B．By refreshing our good memories. C．By helping us survive the hard life. D．By reminding us to forget the past. 4．What is the author’s attitude towards memorizing poetry in the last paragraph? A．Doubtful. B．Appreciative. C．Dismissive. D．Critical. （24-25高三上·江苏苏州·阶段练习）On a diving holiday in the Philippines last October, with seven other advanced divers, I dived off the boat, slowly sinking to about 20m. 45 minutes later, a low rumble like an engine drowned out the sound of my breathing and I felt deep powerful vibrations (振动) as if a big boat was passing overhead. The dive instructor’s eyes were wide with confusion too. We both swam next to each other staying close to the side of the reef. The situation felt sinister. Then we were enveloped by clouds of white sand that mushroomed up around us. Could it be a giant turtle racing past us? They are normally slow mover so this was very weird behavior. The vibration became so intense that I could feel it in my bones and then the sound turned into a deafening roar. Suddenly, a few meters below us, breaks began forming and the sand was sucked down. That was when I got what it was. The noise was the sound of the earth splitting open and grinding (碾压) against itself. We held hands and looked into each other’s eyes, comforted by each other’s presence. My body went on high alert and it took enormous willpower to resist the urge to swim to the surface, which was not sensible as situation on the surface at that time was unclear with potential threats. The sound and vibration lasted only two or three minutes and when swimming back, we all held hands before resurfacing to avoid decompression sickness, which can be deadly. Back on the boat, we checked the news and discovered we had witnessed a huge earthquake measuring 7.2 on the Richter scale. It released more energy than 30 Hiroshima bombs, though it seemed that we were not at the epicenter (震中) . I was high and felt lucky surprisingly not because of my recent survival miracle, but to have experienced nature at its most stunning and its most frightening. 1．What does the underlined word “sinister” in paragraph. 2 probably mean? A．Amazing. B．Embarrassing. C．Promising. D．Threatening. 2．What made the author aware of what was happening? A．Observing the seabed cracking. B．Feeling the violent undersea shake. C．Being informed of the event. D．Witnessing a turtle’s abnormal behavior. 3．What stopped the divers to rise to the surface instantly? A．The potential deadly disease. B．The unclear situation in the water. C．The possible unexpected danger above. D．The instructor’s gesturing them not to rise. 4．Which could be the best title of the passage? A．The Charm of Exploration. B．A Close Encounter with Nature. C．A Frightening Earthquake. D．A Cation from Underwater World. （24-25高三上·江苏泰州·阶段练习）On the last days of July, I moved to a flat in Brixton and joined those with a garden for the first time. Before moving, I lived in a flat surrounded by a small plot of woodland nearby. There were a good six weeks during which the dawn chorus was so loud that waking up at 5 am was a daily routine. Watching the birds became a soap opera I was deeply invested in. In Brixton, though, all I could hear was traffic. Although I knew clearly that cities are not strongholds of naturalism, and that nature is always there waiting for me to find it, it still took me a while to get used to the fact that I had to walk more than five minutes to find a green space. It was for this reason that I turned to gardening. I’m not a formally trained gardener; I taught myself on a concrete balcony, four stories up on a hill in Camberwell in my mid-20s. The only garden I had previously had access to as an adult, in Hackney at the start of my career, was used for parties, barbecues and playing with the neighbor’s cat. Filled with blind enthusiasm and curiosity, I picked up plants from supermarkets and flower markets, often killing them out of love and then starting all over again. I often spent whole weekends in that small space. The balcony had a good view: one of London’s shining skylines beneath high skies that changed color and cloud by the minute. But it was so small that you had to look closely, and looking closely is an essential part of enjoying nature, wherever you find it. And to be out on the balcony allowed me to care about things that were bigger than my career, relationship or sense of self. When all three started to waver (动摇), it was gardening — and nature more broadly — that enabled me to find a new way of life. 1．What is one challenge the author faced after moving to Brixton? A．Dealing with a noisy neighbor. B．Finding a suitable place for parties. C．Adjusting to the lack of green space. D．Getting used to the city’s heavy traffic. 2．What was the author’s initial experience with gardening? A．She learned gardening all by herself. B．She had a natural talent for gardening. C．She had a large garden in her childhood home. D．She started gardening in a small woodland area. 3．What did the author learn from her gardening experience in Camberwell? A．The key to being a successful gardener. B．The way to master gardening on her own. C．The importance of looking closely at nature. D．The method of getting along well with neighbors. 4．What would be the best title for the text? A．How I Overcame Challenges in Gardening B．How I Adapted Myself to Life in Cities C．How I Turned Gardening into a Hobby D．How I Found Nature in Cities （24-25高三上·江苏盐城·阶段练习）Eeka McLeod is raising three kids, two chickens, one dog, one cat and… ducks? Yes, ducks. “I had always wanted ducks, or at least one duck,” she tells USA TODAY over a video call from her home in Arizona, with a diaper-clad (带着尿布的) duck named Mooney resting in a baby house at her side. “I’ve also wanted deer — don’t get me started on that — but anyways, I’ve always wanted ducks.” So, she took a quack at it. McLeod got her wish for family ducks after she moved her three kids from California to the Grand Canyon State in April of last year. Her mental health was falling, not to mention she was diagnosed with a few autoimmune diseases (自身免疫性疾病). McLeod, 43, is a single mum and she wanted to own a house to hand-down to her kids one day — therefore the move to a much richer state. After they settled in, McLeod finally scratched the itch last August. “I’m going to do it. Today’s the day,” she remembers. A local organic farm store in Mesa had 12 ducklings and they told her to come in. Her kids didn’t believe what was happening. “It took them a few minutes,” she says. “I think they thought that I was really making fun of them.” But there the ducks were, in a tub under a heat lamp and everything. The family took two home that day: Jelly and Mooney, both Indian Runner ducks. They later raised a third, Topsy, a Cayuga duck. It’s changed their life for the better, and excited millions of TikTok followers and hundreds of thousands of Instagram followers along the way. Research shows, after all, pets lower stress levels and even help with heart health. “The ducks came into our lives during such a — especially for me — just a really dark period and just brightened up our lives,” she says. “They have brought us the unbelievable happiness, and it’s always something that we’re laughing about together.” 1．When did McLeod start wanting ducks?

A．How ducks changed her life. B．Her experience of moving. C．The benefits of having pets. D．How ducks are raised. 重难语篇拔高练 （24-25高三上·江苏苏州·阶段练习）During the summer, Hu Miaokun, a 19-year-old diagnosed with congenital (先天的) deafness at the age of two, experienced a life-altering moment: he received acceptance letters from seven universities. This achievement symbolizes more than a decade of unwavering efforts in a world of silence. Hu, born in 2005 in a village in Macheng, Central China’s Hubei province, has faced various obstacles throughout his life — he lost his father at the age of five and moved in with his grandparents after his mother remarried. However, Hu’s passion for learning always ran high. With the encouragement and support of his family, he enrolled in a school specifically designed for hearing-impaired children. “Adapting to life in a group was tough,” Hu signed. “I had to get used to the new environment, follow new rules, and learn how to interact with others. But over time, these challenges became easier to manage.” Hu recalls how his teachers used various tailored techniques and tools to support student learning. These included multimedia lessons, hearing aids, speech recognition devices, and other assistive technologies, all designed to make learning more accessible. After completing middle school, Hu continued his education at a specialized high school in Wuhan, the capital of Hubei province. The school offered a broader curriculum, including English. However, for students with hearing and speech impairments, learning a foreign language can be particularly difficult. While many of his peers had some basic knowledge of the language and were exposed to English through songs, movies, and everyday conversations, Hu had no prior exposure, making the task even more daunting. “For me, the key to learning English is through reading, writing, and translation,” Hu signed. He created a detailed study plan and adhered to it, learning to prioritize his tasks and manage his time effectively. This year, Hu Miaokun took the national college entrance examination, or gaokao. His hard work paid off. Since May, Hu Miaokun has received acceptance letters from all seven universities to which he applied. Ultimately, Hu Miaokun decided to pursue product design at his dream school, Tianjin University of Technology. With ambitions of becoming a 3D designer specializing in product modeling, he is now focusing on mastering various modeling software, such as 3ds Max and Adobe Illustrator. “I’m deeply thankful to my aunt and everyone who has supported me,” Hu Miaokun signed. “I will continue to work hard in my studies and, in the future, use my skills to inspire and assist others.” 1．What does the underlined word “unwavering” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?

D．He was into learning despite many difficulties. 4．What can be a suitable title for the text? A．“Deaf” Teenagers in a World of Silence B．“Silent” but Not Silent: Hu Miaokun’s Sad Story C．Hearing-disadvantaged Teen’s Journey to University Success D．A Teenager’s Battle Against Silence: From Struggle to Survival （24-25高三上·江苏扬州·阶段练习）As I stepped out of the punishing Arizona heat and into the cool air-conditioned hall of the meeting center, I saw a sea of costumed attendees. Some wore complicated steampunk clothes; others were dressed up as their favorite Marvel or Star Wars characters. “How could I agree to this?” I thought as I made my way to the room where I’d give a talk about the science behind the classic Dune books by Frank Herbert. Then I saw the audience's excitement. I had been struggling for years to find new ways to communicate science to a broad audience. When I went into my Ph. D．program, research soon began to consume most of my time. When I spoke about my research, it was mostly directed at people within my Ph. D．field: workmates, collaborators, thesis committee members. I struggled to explain how my research might apply in the real world. Then I took a trip to Maine, where many fellows were great readers and excited to share stories about the latest books they’d consumed. I could vividly recall every detail of the papers piling up back in the lab, yet I couldn’t remember the last book I had read for pleasure. “Is my Ph. D．killing my love of science?” I thought. When I returned home, I determined to devote more of my time to doing things I love outside the lab, especially reading for pleasure. My eldest brother had recommended a science fiction book, so I started with that. It was refreshing to think about science in a new way. I kept reading science fiction in the years after I finished my Ph. D．But I still hadn’t gotten back to communicating science to the public. Then, one night I found myself in a conversation with my new policy colleagues about science fiction concepts. One invited me to speak at the pop culture convention. When the day came to present, I felt worried until I was behind the platform and saw the bright-eyed, eager attendees. After I finished, I was flooded with questions and comments. It suddenly occurred to me that this was my path back to science communication. 1．What did the author have difficulty doing during his Ph. D．program? A．Balancing work and personal life. B．Making his research accepted by co-workers. C．Keeping up with the latest scientific papers.
