专题04 阅读理解之主旨大意题 ———————————————————————————————————————————— 1.（2025·福建漳州·二模）My teenage daughter signed up to run a 5K that Saturday morning, and I planned to return to bed after dropping her off. I quickly grabbed some clothes and rushed out of the door with her. When we arrived and I saw the crowd, a thought crossed my mind — I might miss her first event. And past experiences implied that this likelihood was fairly high. There was a strange pull to join her somehow, even though I knew it was unlikely. I hadn’t been physically active recently and was not dressed for a race. Anyhow, I pretended there had been friends’ encouragement. I found myself registering for the race, telling myself I would just walk it. I tied my sweatshirt around my waist and stuffed my keys in my pocket. When the gun went off, I ran along with everyone else. I quickly dropped back, and soon became dead last, which made me upset. The crowd vanished (消失) over a hill, and I lost sight of my daughter. Only one other woman remained, who looked about 20 years older than me. We began a series of running and walking. When she ran again, I couldn’t let her pass me, so I ran too. I managed to pass her, giving me a ray of delight, and later I passed a group of women. I continued to switch between running and walking until I passed one of my daughter’s classmates, and then another. The course wound through Amish country and Amish children lined the route, watching us. I doubted whether I could make it up the last hill, but I kept picking goals, such as a telephone pole or a mailbox, to run or walk to. I even figured out that if I made my step distance long when I walked, I would cover more ground. I finally crossed the finish line to find my daughter waiting for me. My face burned red, and my legs hurt, but I was proud of both of us as we posed for a selfie (自拍) wearing our numbers. 1．Why did the author join the race? A．To compete in the race with her daughter. B．To provide her girl with companionship. C．To enrich her experiences in running. D．To win a prize in the race at least. 2．How did the author feel as she fell behind in the race? A．Defeated and hopeless. B．Anxious and disappointed. C．Discouraged but motivated. D．Embarrassed but delighted. 3．What mainly helped the author finish the last run? A．Switching among different breathing modes. B．Great commitment to win the race happily. C．Constant encouragement from on-lookers. D．Setting progressive goals along the route. 4．Which can be the best title for the text? A．Facing Challenges: A Mother’s 5K Journey B．An Unexpected Win: My Daughter’s Race C．Overcoming Obstacles: A Family Event D．The Joy of Running: A Race Adventure 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．D 4．A 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者陪伴女儿参加跑步比赛并最终完成比赛的经历。 1．推理判断题。根据第一段中的“When we arrived and I saw the crowd, a thought crossed my mind — I might miss her first event. And past experiences implied that this likelihood was fairly high. There was a strange pull to join her somehow, even though I knew it was unlikely. (当我们到达现场，看到人群时，我脑海中闪过一个念头——我可能会错过她的第一次比赛。而过去的经历表明，这种可能性相当高。尽管我知道自己不太可能参加，但心中却有一种莫名的冲动想要加入她)”可知，作者参加比赛是想给女儿提供一些陪伴。故选B。 2．推理判断题。根据第三段“I quickly dropped back, and soon became dead last, which made me upset. The crowd vanished (消失) over a hill, and I lost sight of my daughter. Only one other woman remained, who looked about 20 years older than me. We began a series of running and walking. When she ran again, I couldn’t let her pass me, so I ran too. I managed to pass her, giving me a ray of delight, and later I passed a group of women. (我很快就落在了后面，很快就成了最后一名，这让我很沮丧。人群翻过一座小山后消失了，我也看不见我的女儿了。只剩下另一个女人，她看起来比我大约老20岁。我们开始交替跑步和走路。当她再次跑步时，我不想让她超过我，所以我也跑了起来。我成功地超过了她，这让我有一丝喜悦，后来我又超过了一群女性)”可知，作者在比赛中落后时虽有过气馁但后来也有了动力。故选C。 3．细节理解题。根据第四段中的“I doubted whether I could make it up the last hill, but I kept picking goals, such as a telephone pole or a mailbox, to run or walk to. (我怀疑自己是否能爬上最后那座小山，但我不断设定目标，比如一根电线杆或一个信箱，作为我跑步或走路的目的地)”可知，作者沿途设定渐进的目标，这帮助作者在比赛中坚持到最后。故选D。 4．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是由文章第一段“When we arrived and I saw the crowd, a thought crossed my mind — I might miss her first event. And past experiences implied that this likelihood was fairly high. There was a strange pull to join her somehow, even though I knew it was unlikely. (当我们到达现场，看到人群时，我脑海中闪过一个念头——我可能会错过她的第一次比赛。而过去的经历表明，这种可能性相当高。尽管我知道自己不太可能参加，但心中却有一种莫名的冲动想要加入她)”可知，作者原本打算送女儿参加跑步比赛后就回家睡觉，结果却因不想错过女儿的第一场比赛而临时决定参加比赛，整个比赛对作者来说是一次自我挑战，作者直面挑战，最终跑完了全程。所以A项“Facing Challenges: A Mother’s 5K Journey (面对挑战：一位母亲的5公里之旅)”概括了文章内容，是文章的最佳标题。故选A。 2.（24-25高三下·广东·开学考试）A 70-year-old grandfather has successfully rowed a boat unassisted across the entire Atlantic Ocean — and he didn’t do it for himself. Frank Rothwell dedicated the extreme feat to his brother-in-law Roger, who died of Alzheimer’s disease (阿尔茨海默病) during Frank’s crossing. Requiring 18 months of hard training, the entire trip took eight grueling (艰辛的) weeks for Rothwell to travel from La Gomera in the Canary Islands on December 12 to the finish line 3000 miles away in Antigua on February 6. “I like a challenge!” explains Frank on his fundraising site. “In 2017, I spent five weeks on a deserted island for the Channel 4 program, the Island with Bear Grylls. Before that, I was only the 10th person ever to circumnavigate North and South America.” In a statement, Hilary Evans, chief executive of Alzheimer’s Research UK, said, “We’re honored to have such amazing support from Frank. His courage and determination helped him to complete his epic challenge and raise £1 million for dementia (痴呆) research.” “This incredible amount will be a huge benefit to the groundbreaking research we carry out here at Alzheimer’s Research UK, as we continue our mission to bring about life-changing treatments for people affected by dementia,” added Evans. Crossing the finish line was an emotional moment for Rothwell. He said, “I am on cloud nine! I set out in December wishing to raise £1 million for Alzheimer’s Research UK but I never thought I’d actually achieve it. At times, the challenge was incredibly tough, with rough seas, huge waves, and missing my wife, Judith. But as exhausting as it was, it was all totally worth it.” He also said, “Having received hundreds of messages from people who, like me, have witnessed the heartbreak of dementia, I am proud to have raised such an incredible amount in honor of Roger and everyone else who has experienced the destruction it causes.” 5．What does the underlined word in paragraph 1 probably mean? A．Fame. B．Career. C．Pressure. D．Achievement. 6．What words best describe Rothwell? A．Generous and wise. B．Humorous and patient. C．Courageous and helpful. D．Optimistic and cautious. 7．What can we learn about Rothwell from his words? A．He finished the whole voyage smoothly. B．He had mixed feelings after the challenge. C．He received many messages from Alzheimer’s. D．He was proud to raise the money for his brother-in-law Roger. 8．What could be the best title of this text? A．People’s Efforts to battle with Dementia. B．Old Man’s Sea Crossing for Alzheimer’s. C．A Special Campaign for the Poor’s support. D．A Great Voyage in Honor of Medical Success. 【答案】5．D 6．C 7．B 8．B 【导语】这是一篇记叙文，讲述70岁老人横渡大西洋的故事。 5．词义猜测题。 根据画线词上文“A 70-year-old grandfather has successfully rowed a boat unassisted across the entire Atlantic Ocean — and he didn’t do it for himself.(一位70岁的老爷爷成功地在无人帮助的情况下划着小船横渡了整个大西洋——而且他并不是为自己而做的。)”可知，Frank Rothwell在无人帮助的情况下成功地划船横渡了整个大西洋。结合文章最后一段中的“I am proud to have raised such an incredible amount in honor of Roger(我很自豪能为罗杰筹到这么多钱)”可知，Rothwell以被阿尔茨海默病夺去生命的Roger和其他人的名义去横渡大西洋，并因此筹到了大量善款，由此推知，这里指他将这一了不起的“成就”献给了因阿尔茨海默症去世的Roger，feat意为“成就”。故选D项。 6．推理判断题。根据第三段“His courage and determination helped him to complete his epic challenge and raise £1 million for dementia (痴呆) research.(他的勇气和决心帮助他完成了史诗般的挑战，并为痴呆症研究筹集了100万英镑。)”可知， Rothwell为了这次的成功，经过了长期的艰苦训练，并且他热爱挑战，由此可以看出他勇气过人乐于助人。故选C。 7．推理判断题。根据第五段“Crossing the finish line was an emotional moment for Rothwell. He said, “I am on cloud nine! I set out in December wishing to raise £1 million for Alzheimer’s Research UK but I never thought I’d actually achieve it. At times, the challenge was incredibly tough, with rough seas, huge waves, and missing my wife, Judith. But as exhausting as it was, it was all totally worth it.”(冲过终点线对罗斯威尔来说是一个激动的时刻。他说：“我高兴极了！去年12月，我开始希望为英国阿尔茨海默氏症研究中心筹集100万英镑，但我从未想过我真的能实现这一目标。有时，挑战是难以置信的艰难，伴随着汹涌的大海，巨大的海浪，我想念我的妻子朱迪思。尽管很累，但这一切都是值得的”)”可知，Rothwell对这次挑战有着复杂的情感。故选B。 8．主旨大意题。文章介绍了70岁的弗兰克·罗斯韦尔成功划船横渡大西洋，为阿尔茨海默症的研究筹集100万英镑，体现了老人为阿尔茨海默症患者的努力。故适合的标题为“老人为了阿尔茨海默症横渡大海”。故选B。 3.（2025·安徽马鞍山·一模）Miguel Angel Gallo, born in Barcelona in 1933, has always had a passion for art. However, with limited financial resources and 13 children to feed and educate, becoming an artist was not a practical option for him at the time. And about 10 years ago, Gallo’s wife was diagnosed (诊断) with Alzheimer’s disease, and her condition worsened to the point that she had to move into a care home. This challenging period marked the beginning of Gallo’s artistic journey, when he was already 83 years old. Gallo initially studied mechanical engineering in Barcelona and later worked for a company in Zaragoza. In 1966, he pursued management studies at IESE Business School in Barcelona, and by 1968, he had become an associate professor there. With his academic background, Gallo was determined to study at a respected institution. However, when he applied to study art in Barcelona, he was encouraged to pursue art history instead. He was firm, replying, “No, I want to paint.” The course was initially set for four years, but due to the need to balance it with his family commitments, it took Gallo seven years to complete it. He graduated at the age of 90. Gallo admires Francisco de Zurbarán for his masterful use of white, and Joaquín Sorolla for his skillful use of light. Reflecting on his artistic journey, he noted, “Studying art has strengthened my belief that the truly great things in life are goodness, truth, and beauty. I don’t mind making money, but increasingly, those other things matter most to me.” Some of Gallo’s works were featured in an exhibition in Graus, a small village in the Pyrenees, where they were displayed for six months. Gallo humbly acknowledged, “After completing my degree, would I call myself an artist? I don’t know, but at least now I have a piece of paper that says I am.” 9．What can be learnt about Gallo from paragraphs 1 and 2? A．He prioritized his family over his interest. B．He became a professor in his 20s. C．He had a natural talent for doing business. D．He lived with poor health for long. 10．What happened to Gallo when he applied to study art in Barcelona? A．He was required to study longer. B．He was not advised to paint. C．He was introduced to other institutes. D．He was not allowed to get a degree. 11．How has studying art affected Gallo? A．He has reflected on his health condition. B．He has become much humbler. C．He has reinterpreted the meaning of wealth. D．He has developed true friendships. 12．What is the best title for the text? A．Miguel Ángel Gallo: An Art Genius. B．Miguel Ángel Gallo: A Late Start to Art. C．An Art Exhibition of Miguel Ángel Gallo. D．Artistic Principles Set by Miguel Ángel Gallo. 【答案】9．A 10．B 11．C 12．B 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。本文主要讲述了米格尔·安赫尔·加洛于1933年出生于巴塞罗那，一直对艺术充满热情。然而，由于财力有限，有13个孩子要养活和教育，当时成为艺术家对他来说不是一个实际的选择。大约10年前，加洛的妻子被诊断出患有阿尔茨海默病，她的病情恶化到不得不搬进护理院的地步。这段充满挑战的时期标志着加洛艺术之旅的开始，当时他已经83岁了。 9．细节理解题。根据第一段中“However, with limited financial resources and 13 children to feed and educate, becoming an artist was not a practical option for him at the time. (然而，由于经济资源有限，13个孩子要养活和教育，成为一名艺术家对他来说并不是一个现实的选择。)”可知，由于经济资源有限且要养育和教育13个孩子，成为艺术家对他来说不是一个现实的选择，说明他把家庭放在了兴趣之前。故选A项。 10．细节理解题。根据第三段中“However, when he applied to study art in Barcelona, he was encouraged to pursue art history instead. He was firm, replying, “No, I want to paint.” (然而，当他申请在巴塞罗那学习艺术时，他被鼓励去学习艺术史。他很坚定地回答：“不，我想画画。”)”可知，当他申请在巴塞罗那学习艺术时，别人鼓励他学习艺术史而不是绘画，即他不被建议画画。故选B项。 11．推理判断题。根据第四段中“Reflecting on his artistic journey, he noted, “Studying art has strengthened my belief that the truly great things in life are goodness, truth, and beauty. I don’t mind making money, but increasingly, those other things matter most to me.” (回顾自己的艺术之旅，他说：“学习艺术让我更加坚信，生命中真正伟大的东西是真、善、美。我不介意赚钱，但其他事情对我来说越来越重要。”)”可知，学习艺术让他更加坚信生活中真正伟大的东西是善良、真理和美丽，他不介意赚钱，但越来越觉得这些其他的东西对他来说才是最重要的，说明他重新诠释了财富的意义，不再只看重金钱。故选C项。 12．主旨大意题。根据文章大意以及第一段中“This challenging period marked the beginning of Gallo’s artistic journey, when he was already 83 years old. (这段充满挑战的时期标志着加洛艺术之旅的开始，当时他已经83岁了。)”和第三段中“The course was initially set for four years, but due to the need to balance it with his family commitments, it took Gall o seven years to complete it. He graduated at the age of 90. (课程最初设定为四年，但由于需要平衡他的家庭责任，他花了7年时间才完成。他90岁毕业。)”可知，文章主要讲述了米格尔·安赫尔·加洛虽然一直热爱艺术，但由于家庭原因直到 83 岁才开始他的艺术之旅，经过努力在 90 岁时完成艺术课程毕业，所以“Miguel Ángel Gallo: A Late Start to Art”（米格尔·安赫尔·加洛：一个晚开始的艺术学习者）作为标题最合适。故选B项。 4.（24-25高三上·河北承德·期末）“We were amazed at what we were seeing on a hot summer’s day, when a group of people with Parkinson’s disease (帕金森病) began rock climbing on the Carderock Cliffs of Maryland. Yes, rock climbing! It’s all part of their therapy (疗法),” says Molly Cupka, the no-nonsense instructor and cheerleader for this community of courageous climbers. She started this program, called Up ENDing Parkinson’s, as a non-profit 12 years ago. There’s no cure for Parkinson’s disease, which usually affects mobility, coordination, balance, and even speech. Jon Lessin was diagnosed (诊断) in 2003. He was once an all-around athlete. About 12 years ago, he retired because of Parkinson’s disease. It was Lessin who first had that big idea to use rock climbing as a therapy for Parkinson’s disease. “I wanted to do big-movement exercise,” he said. “And I found Molly Cupka at this gym.” Lessin proposed the idea to Molly Cupka, who runs the Sportrock Climbing Centers in Alexandria, Virginia. She thought it was worth a try, given the sport requires participants to plan ahead, and to know where to position their hands and feet. “I wish I could go into the brain and see what’s happening while people climb,” Molly Cupka said. There’s no evidence that climbing slows the progress of Parkinson’s disease, but Molly Cupka joined forces with Marymount University last year to study patients climbing for the first time. “We have people literally walking and carrying weights, you know, walking and looking, multitasking,” she said. The study found that, in so many words, if you climb, you may walk better. Marymount University’s Center for Optimal Aging studies on physical and psychosocial effects of rock climbing on individuals with Parkinson’s disease. Mark de Mulder, a musician and former director of the National Geospatial Program, doesn’t need a study to prove what climbing does for him. “It allows me to say, ‘All right, take that, Parkinson’s! I’m doing this!’ It just makes me feel stronger, and I’m fighting it. I’m doing something about it.” Many of the climbers have become friends who climb together several times a week, and they’ve become a support group, Parkinson’s Pals, who encourage each other. 13．How may people feel when seeing those with Parkinson’s disease rock climbing? A．Confused. B．Astonished. C．Annoyed. D．Embarrassed. 14．Why did Molly Cupka agreed to study rock climbing therapy? A．It’s a low-impact exercise. B．It requires no planning. C．It’s an individual activity. D．It involves multitasking. 15．What did the study reveal about rock climbing to people with Parkinson’s disease? A．It boosts their walking ability. B．It improves their social life. C．It completely cures the disease. D．It slows the progress of the disease. 16．What can be a suitable title for the text? A．The Benefits of Rock Climbing B．Living with Parkinson’s Disease C．Fighting Parkinson’s Disease with Rock Climbing D．The Impact of Exercise on Parkinson’s Disease 【答案】13．B 14．D 15．A 16．C 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了帕金森患者参加攀岩治疗帕金森的故事。 13．细节理解题。根据第一段“We were amazed at what we were seeing on a hot summer’s day, when a group of people with Parkinson’s disease (帕金森病) began rock climbing on the Carderock Cliffs of Maryland. (在一个炎热的夏天，当一群患有帕金森病的人开始在马里兰州的卡德罗克悬崖上攀岩时，我们对我们所看到的感到惊讶。)”可知，当看到一群帕金森病患者在攀岩时，人们感到很“惊讶”。故选B项。 14．细节理解题。根据第三段中“She thought it was worth a try, given the sport requires participants to plan ahead, and to know where to position their hands and feet.( 她认为值得一试，因为这项运动要求参与者提前计划，并知道手脚的位置。)”以及第四段中“We have people literally walking and carrying weights, you know, walking and looking, multitasking(我们让人们真的一边走路一边负重，一边走路一边看，一心多用。)”可知，Molly Cupka认为攀岩这项运动值得一试，因为它需要参与者提前计划，知道手和脚的位置，也就是涉及到多任务处理，这是她同意研究攀岩疗法的原因。故选D项。 15．细节理解题。根据第四段中“The study found that, in so many words, if you climb, you may walk better.( 研究发现，总而言之，如果你爬，你可能走得更好。)”可知，研究发现，对于帕金森病患者来说，攀岩可以“提高他们的行走能力”。故选A项。 16．主旨大意题。根据文章大意以及第一段中““We were amazed at what we were seeing on a hot summer’s day, when a group of people with Parkinson’s disease (帕金森病) began rock climbing on the Carderock Cliffs of Maryland. Yes, rock climbing! It’s all part of their therapy (疗法),” says Molly Cupka, the no-nonsense instructor and cheerleader for this community of courageous climbers.(“在一个炎热的夏天，当一群患有帕金森病的人开始在马里兰州的卡德罗克悬崖上攀岩时，我们对我们所看到的感到惊讶。是的，攀岩！这都是他们治疗的一部分，” Molly Cupka说，她是这个勇敢的登山者社区的严肃教练和啦啦队长。)”可知，文章主要讲述了帕金森病患者通过攀岩进行治疗，虽然没有证据表明攀岩能减缓疾病进展，但研究发现攀岩可以提高他们的行走能力，而且患者们还组成了一个互相鼓励的群体，所以文章主要围绕着用攀岩来对抗帕金森病展开。C选项“Fighting Parkinson’s Disease with Rock Climbing(用攀岩对抗帕金森病)”符合文章主旨，适合作为文章的标题。故选C项。 5.（24-25高三上·云南德宏·期末）Having spent more than a decade on the dance floor, ROME — Niccolo Filippi, a 23-year-old Italian dance performer, recently decided to explore Chinese culture and its traditional dance forms and believes that this experience will not only boost his career, but also broaden his horizons beyond the world of dance. His interest in diversifying his skills grew after he stumbled upon a short video of traditional Chinese-styled dance on YouTube. “I saw it as an art that combines tradition and modernity, which was mostly the reason why I liked it,” says Filippi. Ever since, he has been closely following Chinese dance performers and watching numerous videos to learn more about the traditional style that he admires. Then Filippi’s chance came when he was invited to perform for a Chinese New Year celebration. He has since fully committed himself to the art form, learning several pieces and putting his newfound passion into practice. “The biggest difference that I found is the change of mood and emotional expressions among dances,” says Filippi, adding that he needed to shift from the dynamic moves of hip-hop to the graceful and fluid movements of Chinese dance. Despite various obstacles, Filippi’s efforts have not gone unnoticed. Two of his friends shared videos of his performances on social media, and the response was overwhelming. One video garnered 500,000 views, while the other received 200,000 views. Filippi believes that learning about different cultures is priceless, and he sees it as a means of personal growth. “I like to think of a person as a book,” he says. “Embracing different traditions and cultures, such as Chinese culture and many others, is like adding new chapters to my book, making it more diverse and wonderful.” 17．What is the main reason why Filippi falls in love with traditional Chinese dance? A．Its potential to boost his career. B．Its rich emotional expressions. C．Its mix of traditional and modern elements. D．Its true reflection of his elegant personality. 18．How does the author explain the popularity of Filippi’s videos? A．By listing numbers. B．By giving an example. C．By sharing a story. D．By making a comparison. 19．What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A．Filippi thinks little of learning from other cultures. B．Accepting various cultures boosts personal growth. C．People prefer to write down their past experiences. D．A book with chapters on traditions is more wonderful. 20．What is the main idea of the passage? A．Chinese-styled dance videos go viral on social media. B．An Italian’s dance journey towards specialization starts. C．Filippi’s desire for Chinese culture extends beyond dance. D．An Italian dancer shows passion for Chinese-styled dance. 【答案】17．C 18．A 19．B 20．D 【导语】本文为一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了意大利舞蹈演员Niccolo Filippi对中国传统文化及其舞蹈形式的探索经历，以及这一过程对他的职业生涯和个人成长的影响。 17．细节理解题。根据文章第二段“His interest in diversifying his skills grew after he stumbled upon a short video of traditional Chinese-styled dance on YouTube. “I saw it as an art that combines tradition and modernity, which was mostly the reason why I liked it,” says Filippi.(在YouTube上偶然刷到一段中国传统风格舞蹈的短视频后，他对丰富自身技艺的兴趣愈发浓厚。“我将其视为一种融合了传统与现代的艺术，这也是我喜爱它的主要原因。”Filippi说道。)”可知，Filippi爱上中国传统舞蹈的主要原因是其融合了传统与现代元素。故选C。 18．推理判断题。根据文章第四段“Two of his friends shared videos of his performances on social media, and the response was overwhelming. One video garnered 500,000 views, while the other received 200,000 views.(他的两个朋友在社交媒体上分享了他的表演视频，反响极为热烈。其中一个视频的浏览量达到了50万次，另一个也有20万次浏览量。)”可知，作者通过列举两个视频具体的浏览量（50万次和20万次）来表明其受欢迎程度，这种方式属于通过列举数字进行说明。故选A。 19．推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Filippi believes that learning about different cultures is priceless, and he sees it as a means of personal growth.(Filippi认为，了解不同文化的价值无可估量，他将其视为个人成长的一种方式。)”可知，Filippi将了解不同文化视为个人成长的方式，可推断出接受各种文化能促进个人成长。故选B。 20．主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“Having spent more than a decade on the dance floor, ROME—Niccolo Filippi, a 23-year-old Italian dance performer, recently decided to explore Chinese culture and its traditional dance forms and believes that this experience will not only boost his career, but also broaden his horizons beyond the world of dance.(23岁的意大利舞蹈演员Niccolo Filippi在舞坛已耕耘了十余年。最近，他决定探索中国文化及其传统舞蹈形式，并相信这段经历不仅会推动他的职业生涯，还能拓宽他在舞蹈领域之外的视野。)”以及全文内容可知，文章讲述了意大利舞者菲利皮因在YouTube上看到中国传统风格舞蹈视频而产生兴趣，之后全身心投入学习并表演，体现了他对中国风格舞蹈的热爱。故选D。 6.（24-25高三下·广西柳州·开学考试）One summer, my friend Shelia and I took our pre-teen children and their friends to Liberty land, an amusement park in Memphis, Tennessee. It was an extremely hot day. By mid-afternoon, Shelia and I were worn out, while the kids were still energetic. We decided to rest in the outdoor theatre while the children continued riding. The theatre, though shaded, had no air conditioning. A show was about to begin as we sat down. Despite the small audience of about 20 people looking for a cool place to sit, the teenage performers delivered an energetic and lively performance with rock and roll music. In the end, the audience gave only polite, half-hearted applause. However, Shelia stood up and cheered loudly as if she had seen the most amazing Broadway production in her life. She explained to me, “These are someone else’s kids. Since their moms aren’t here, we need to support them.” I was deeply moved by Shelia’s words. I had never thought about it that way before. I joined Shelia in cheering for these hard-working young performers. This happened over six years ago, but Shelia’s words have stayed with me. Now, I try to remember that the teenagers I meet in various service jobs are all someone’s children. I make an effort to treat them as I would want others to treat my own children. Thanks, Shelia, for applying the golden rule — “Treat others’ children as you would want them to treat yours!” This experience taught me the importance of supporting and encouraging young people, even when they’re not our own, and how a small act of kindness can make a difference. 21．Why did Shelia and the author decide to rest in the outdoor theatre? A．They needed a break from the extreme heat. B．They desired to enjoy a Broadway-style show. C．They were asked to leave the rides and take a seat. D．They intended to approach the performers more closely. 22．Why did Shelia cheer loudly for the teenage performers? A．She wanted to set a good example for her own children. B．She hoped to encourage more performances at the park. C．She felt the need to support them in their parents’ absence. D．She was impressed by their professional-level performance. 23．How has the author’s behavior changed since this experience? A．She always cheers loudly at every performance. B．She attends more theatrical shows with her children. C．She avoids taking children to amusement parks on hot days. D．She treats young people in service jobs with more consideration. 24．What is the best title of the text? A．The Challenges of Bringing up Pre-teens. B．The Benefits of Visiting Amusement Parks. C．The Difficulties of Performing in Hot Weather. D．The Importance of Encouraging Young People. 【答案】21．A 22．C 23．D 24．D 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者和朋友Shelia带着孩子们去游乐园，在户外剧场观看青少年表演者的演出，Shelia的热情鼓励让作者意识到要支持和鼓励年轻人，哪怕不是自己的孩子，这一小小的善举也能产生影响。 21．细节理解题。根据第二段“By mid-afternoon, Shelia and I were worn out, while the kids were still energetic. We decided to rest in the outdoor theatre while the children continued riding.(到了下午中段，Shelia和我都累了，而孩子们仍然精力充沛。我们决定在户外剧场休息，孩子们继续玩游乐设施)”可知，Shelia和作者决定在户外剧场休息是因为他们需要在酷热的天气下休息一下。故选A。 22．细节理解题。根据第四段“These are someone else’s kids. Since their moms aren’t here, we need to support them.(这些是别人的孩子。因为他们的妈妈不在这里，我们需要支持他们)”可知，Shelia大声为青少年表演者欢呼是因为她觉得在父母不在场的情况下需要支持他们。故选C。 23．推理判断题。根据第五段“Now, I try to remember that the teenagers I meet in various service jobs are all someone’s children. I make an effort to treat them as I would want others to treat my own children.(现在，我试着记住，我在各种服务工作中遇到的青少年都是别人的孩子。我努力像希望别人对待我自己的孩子一样对待他们)”可知，自从这次经历之后，作者对从事服务工作的年轻人更加体贴。故选D。 24．主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文主要讲述了作者和朋友Shelia带着孩子们去游乐园，在户外剧场观看青少年表演者的演出，Shelia的热情鼓励让作者意识到要支持和鼓励年轻人，哪怕不是自己的孩子，这一小小的善举也能产生影响，所以本文的最佳标题是D项：The Importance of Encouraging Young People.(鼓励年轻人的重要性)。故选D。 7.（24-25高三上·湖南·阶段练习）Xi Zhinong was born in a small town in Yunnan Province. When he was young, he moved to Kunming with his mother. Feeling like a caged bird in a big city, he was bored with the busy and noisy city life and looked forward to nature. His chance soon came. In 1983, he helped shoot (拍摄) a documentary about birds. That experience led him to learn photography and take photos of flying birds. In the 1980s, the Internet was not that popular in China and cameras were expensive. He managed to borrow a camera and threw himself into studying how to use it. During that time, the library became his favorite place where he first read some magazines about nature. It opened a door for him to connect with nature. In 1992, a research program was organized to protect a type of unusual monkeys living only in China. Usually, the home of these monkeys has half-a-year-long winters. It created great challenges for Xi Zhinong’s work, but he never drew back. “I didn’t see the monkeys in the wild until I went into the mountains the third time,” said Xi Zhinong. He went into the snow mountains six times just to get valuable photographs of the monkeys. Several years later, his works won international prizes. People around the world began to pay attention to the protection of wild animals in China. And he is the first Chinese winner of the world-famous Wildlife Photographer of the Year. In order to call on tons of people to protect wildlife with cameras, he started “China Wildlife Photography Training Camp”. He hopes that more young people will join in for the nature protection. 25．What can we learn about Xi Zhinong from paragraph 1? A．He felt like a free bird. B．He would like to live in nature. C．He was born in Kunming. D．He was satisfied with the city life. 26．Which is the right order of Xi Zhinong’s experience? a. He won some prizes in the world. b. He joined in shooting a documentary. c. He took some pictures of monkeys. d. He set up a camp to train photographers. A．b-c-a-d B．d-a-b-c C．c-a-d-b D．a-b-c-d 27．What do the underlined words “drew back” mean in paragraph 4? A．Grew up. B．Set out. C．Put on. D．Gave up. 28．What is the best title for the text? A．World Attention to Animal Protection B．A Door Between Magazines and Nature C．Difficulties of Taking Wildlife Photos D．A Photographer’s Way of Protecting Nature 【答案】25．B 26．A 27．D 28．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了奚志农与摄影的渊源以及用摄影来保护中国野生动物的经历。 25．推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Feeling like a caged bird in a big city, he was bored with the busy and noisy city life and looked forward to nature.(他感觉自己像一只笼在大城市里的鸟，厌倦了繁忙嘈杂的城市生活，期待着大自然。)”可知，奚志农在城市感到不自由，向往大自然。由此可推测出，他想生活在大自然中。故选B。 26．细节理解题。根据第二段中的“In 1983, he helped shoot (拍摄) a documentary about birds.(1983年，他帮助拍摄了一部关于鸟类的纪录片。)”、第四段中的“In 1992, a research program was organized to protect a type of unusual monkeys living only in China.(1992年，一个研究项目被组织以保护一种只生活在中国的不寻常的猴子。)”和第四段“He went into the snow mountains six times just to get valuable photographs of the monkeys.(他进了雪山六次，只是为了给猴子拍一些有价值的照片。)”、第五段中的“Several years later, his works won international prizes.(几年后，他的作品获得了国际奖项。)”以及最后一段中的“In order to call on tons of people to protect wildlife with cameras, he started “China Wildlife Photography Training Camp”.(为了号召成千上万的人用相机保护野生动物，他创办了‘中国野生动物摄影训练营’。)”可知，奚志农在1983年帮助拍摄了一部鸟类纪录片，1992年拍了关于猴子的照片，几年后获得了国际奖项；获奖后他成立了一个摄影训练营，所以正确顺序为b—c—a—d。故选A。 27．词句猜测题。画线短语所在句中的but前后为转折关系。根据倒数第三段“It created great challenges for Xi Zhinong’s work(这给奚志农的工作带来了巨大的挑战)”可知，这项工作非常有挑战性。再根据下一句中的“I didn’t see the monkeys in the wild until I went into the mountains the third time(直到第三次进入山里，我才在野外看到猴子)”可推知，这项具有挑战性的工作没有让他退缩，他坚持进山找猴子。drew back意为“退缩”，与give up(放弃)意思相近。故选D。 28．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是最后一段中的“He hopes that more young people will join in for the nature protection.(他希望有更多的年轻人加入自然保护的行列中。)”可知，本文主要讲述了奚志农用摄影来保护自然的故事，所以 D项“A Photographer’s Way of Protecting Nature(摄影师保护自然的方式)”最适合做本文标题。故选D。 8.（24-25高三下·贵州·阶段练习）While I was exploring my grandparents’ basement, a book that resembled a folder caught my eye. Curiosity awakened, I leaned in closer and noticed yellowed papers and black-and-white photos spilling from its edges. The label, written in Spanish, read “Historia Antigua”. As I opened it, I recognized my grandfather’s distinctive handwriting — unmistakably Argentine. The first words struck me: I’m not sure what I’m about to write, but I’ve had this idea for a number of years now, since a conversation with my father when I turned thirteen and had my Bar Mitzvah (成人礼) … I had always longed to learn more about our family history, and now, here it was before me. I was holding a treasure collection of letters, diaries, travelogues, and news clippings — documents recording centuries of our family’s past, passed down from my grandfather’s father. It was more than just written records; it was an oral history preserved in writing. For months, I kept my discovery a secret, stealing quiet moments to read more. One day, my grandfather — Abuelo — led me to the basement, smiling as he pointed to the open binder. “You’ve been reading my stories,” he said. His face lit up when I admitted it, and then together we spent hours reading Historia Antigua, discussing family trees, identity, and history. Abuelo explained names and places in Spanish, Arabic, and Hebrew — each conversation deepening my understanding of our family history. As a journalist, I began asking deeper questions — why my great-grandparents fled Damascus, why my great-grandfather traveled the Andes by horse-drawn cart. Through these stories, I came to realize how time steals family history. By the time the storytellers are gone, all we have left are dates and places. If you can, ask your relatives now. Record their stories — because family stories are the threads that connect us to who we are and where we come from. 29．Why did the author read Historia Antigua carefully? A．To relive his childhood memories. B．To learn Argentine culture. C．To discover his grandparents’ story. D．To explore family history. 30．What was Abuelo’s attitude towards the author reading Historia Antigua? A．Favorable. B．Indifferent. C．Tolerant. D．Disapproval. 31．What does the author recommend for preserving family history? A．Becoming the family storyteller. B．Bridging the generation gap. C．Documenting family stories. D．Centering only on dates and places. 32．Which of the following is the best title for the text? A．Secret Discovered in the Basement B．Historia Antigua: A Family Legacy C．Long-Lost Stories of Ancestors D．Unforgotten Memories of Grandfather 【答案】29．D 30．A 31．C 32．B 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。作者在祖父的地下室发现了一本记载家族历史的文件夹。通过与祖父一起阅读这些记录，作者深入了解了家族历史，意识到传承故事的重要性，呼吁大家记录并珍惜家族故事。 29．细节理解题。根据第二段中的“I had always longed to learn more about our family history, and now, here it was before me.(我一直渴望更多地了解我们的家族史，而现在，它就在我面前)”可知，作者一直渴望了解更多关于家族的历史，现在这份历史就摆在他面前。因此，作者仔细阅读Historia Antigua是为了探索家族历史。故选D。 30．推理判断题。根据第三段中的“His face lit up when I admitted it, and then together we spent hours reading Historia Antigua, discussing family trees, identity, and history. Abuelo explained names and places in Spanish, Arabic, and Hebrew — each conversation deepening my understanding of our family history.(当我承认这一点时，他的脸上露出了笑容，然后我们一起花了几个小时阅读Historia Antigua,，讨论家谱、身份和历史。祖父用西班牙语、阿拉伯语和希伯来语解释人名和地名——每一次对话都加深了我对我们家族历史的了解)”可知，当作者承认阅读了Historia Antigua时，祖父的脸上露出了笑容，并且他们一起花了几个小时阅读这本书。这表明祖父对作者阅读这本书的态度是赞成的。故选A。 31．推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Record their stories — because family stories are the threads that connect us to who we are and where we come from.(记录他们的故事——因为家庭故事是将我们与我们是谁以及我们来自哪里联系起来的线索)”可推知，作者建议记录家族故事，因为家族故事是将我们与我们的身份和起源联系起来的线索。故选C。 32．主旨大意题。根据全文内容以及第二段“I had always longed to learn more about our family history, and now, here it was before me. I was holding a treasure collection of letters, diaries, travelogues, and news clippings — documents recording centuries of our family’s past, passed down from my grandfather’s father. It was more than just written records; it was an oral history preserved in writing.( 我一直渴望更多地了解我们的家族史，而现在，它就在我面前。我手里拿着一堆珍贵的信件、日记、游记和剪报——这些文件记录了我们家几个世纪的历史，是我祖父传下来的。它不仅仅是书面记录；这是一部以文字形式保存下来的口述历史)”可知，文章围绕着作者发现祖父写的“Historia Antigua”展开，这本书承载着家族几个世纪的过往，是家族历史传承的重要载体，如同家族遗产一般，所以最合适的标题是“Historia Antigua: A Family Legacy(Historia Antigua：一份家族遗产)”。故选B。 9.（24-25高三下·山西晋中·开学考试）In rural South Africa, 16 teams of women, all of us over 50 years old, participated in this opening event — the Grannies International Football Tournament. It was 13 years in the making, built on dreams and a friendship that crosses continents. The organizer, Beka Ntsanwisi — a well-known community activist and cancer survivor — founded the original team of soccer-playing grandmothers aged 40 to 80, some 15 years ago, to improve their health. At first the locals laughed at them and told them they belonged at home caring for their grandchildren. But a team doctor recorded results from their regular exercise: improved mobility, lowered blood pressure and better digestion. In 2010, the international spotlight landed the team an invitation to travel and play in a tournament in Massachusetts. Like the Grannies, I found soccer later in life and my Lexington, Massachusetts teammates are among my best friends. Beka replied to my invitation without hesitation: “We will come, my sister.” In July 2010, 15 Grannies streamed through the Boston airport. They wowed us with their dancing on the sidelines of the field and their enthusiasm for life. And during that visit, Beka announced, “Before I die, I want to host a Grannies World Cup.” In March, 2023, Beka’s 13-year wish to host a Grannies international tournament was finally and joyfully met. The tournament, held in the town of Nkowankowa, was intense as France, Zambia, three South African teams, and all three U. S. teams entered the quarterfinals on the fourth and final day. My team would settle for second place, but the U. S. Breakers, also from Massachusetts, held the 3-foot-tall trophy (奖杯) in the air. The goalkeeper presented the trophy to Beka and the host Grannies team, without whom this event would never have taken place. We know Beka is the true champion. For me, the Grannies tournament was an extraordinary gift, an experience I will not forget. For all of us, we hold on to our memories of bonding with our soccer sisters. 33．What can we learn about the original team founded by Beka? A．It was 13 years in the making. B．It received support from the locals. C．It promoted the wellbeing of its members. D．It consisted of middle-aged women players. 34．Why did the 15 Grannies fly to Boston in July 2010? A．To take part in a football competition. B．To make the football teams cheer for their performance. C．To share their football playing stories. D．To learn to play football professionally. 35．What did the goalkeeper intend to do by gifting Beka the trophy? A．Honor Beka’s football skill. B．Share the joy of their success. C．Acknowledge Beka’s initiative. D．Declare victory for the host team. 36．What is the best title for the text? A．My Soccer Life with Grannies.

At first the locals laughed at them and told them they belonged at home caring for their grandchildren. But a team doctor recorded results from their regular exercise: improved mobility, lowered blood pressure and better digestion.(组织者Beka Ntsanwisi是一位知名的社区活动家和癌症幸存者，她在大约15年前成立了这支由40至80岁的祖母们组成的足球队，以改善她们的健康状况。起初，当地人嘲笑她们，告诉她们应该待在家里照顾孙子孙女。但队医记录了她们定期锻炼的结果：行动能力提高，血压降低，消化更好)”可知，Beka成立的原始球队改善了成员们的健康状况。故选C项。 34．细节理解题。根据第三段中“In 2010, the international spotlight landed the team an invitation to travel and play in a tournament in Massachusetts.(2010年，这支球队受到了国际关注，受邀前往马萨诸塞州参加一场锦标赛)”以及“In July 2010, 15 Grannies streamed through the Boston airport.(2010年7月，15位祖母涌向波士顿机场)”可知，15位祖母2010年7月飞往波士顿是为了参加一场足球比赛。故选A项。 35．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“The goalkeeper presented the trophy to Beka and the host Grannies team, without whom this event would never have taken place. We know Beka is the true champion.(守门员将奖杯赠予了Beka和东道主祖母队，如果没有她们，这场比赛就不可能举行。我们知道Beka才是真正的冠军)”可知，守门员将奖杯赠予Beka是为了感谢她的倡议，因为没有Beka，这场比赛就不可能举行。故选C项。 36．主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第一段中“In rural South Africa, 16 teams of women, all of us over 50 years old, participated in this opening event — the Grannies International Football Tournament.(在南非农村，16支女子球队，队员都是50岁以上的我们，参加了这场开幕式——国际祖母足球锦标赛)”可知，文章主要讲述了南非举办了一场国际祖母足球锦标赛，介绍了该赛事的起源、发展过程以及作者参与其中的感受。D项“Celebrating Grannies: A Global Soccer Event(为奶奶们庆祝：一场全球足球盛事)”最能概括文章内容，适合做文章标题。故选D项。 10.（24-25高三上·山东菏泽·期末）When I was growing up, my mom often said that no matter what grades I got in school, as long as I did my best, she’d be proud of me. Then she added, “But if you didn’t get an A, I’ll know you didn’t do your best.” She said it with a smile, but I took it seriously: I shouldn’t settle for anything less than perfect. My greatest weakness is that I’m too much of a perfectionist. Perfectionism is the desire to be 100% perfect. The goal is zero faults and no failures. In an increasingly competitive world, kids face growing pressure from parents to be perfect and severe criticism when they fall short. Every fault is a blow to their self-esteem (自尊). I’ve lived it myself. When I won the fifth-grade quiz bowl on world explorers, I beat myself up afterward for missing one question. How could I forget that the sea route to India was discovered by da Gama, but not Magellan? When I made the finals of a Mortal Kombat tournament and won a lifetime pass to a local movie theater, I didn’t celebrate. Third place is the second loser. When I won the first prize in a math test, I was disappointed. Only a 98? Not good enough. There was always a voice in the back of my mind whispering that it wasn’t enough and that I could have done better. It was during my college years that I started to question the value of this perfectionism. I met people who didn’t seem to be weighed down by the same expectations, who accepted their mistakes and saw them as opportunities for growth rather than failures. They taught me that it was okay to be imperfect, that it was human to make mistakes, and that sometimes, the most important lessons come from our failures. 37．What is paragraph 1 mainly about? A．Why the author became a perfectionist. B．The disadvantage of being a perfectionist. C．How the author got the good grades in school. D．The feeling of being grateful to the author’s mother. 38．What made the author unsatisfied with what had been achieved? A．Blame from parents. B．Desire to get first prize. C．Eagerness to be perfect. D．Pressure of competitions. 39．What made the author change the attitude towards perfectionism? A．Losing expectation to succeed. B．Realizing the harm of being perfect. C．Learning lessons from other people’s failure. D．Encountering those accepting imperfection. 40．Which column of a magazine may the text be taken from? A．Parenting Styles. B．Coming-of-Age Stories. C．People of Achievement. D．Challenges Facing Youth. 【答案】37．A 38．C 39．D 40．B 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者从小到大追求完美，到大学时期因遇到一些人而改变对完美主义态度的成长故事。 37．主旨大意题。根据第一段“When I was growing up, my mom often said that no matter what grades I got in school, as long as I did my best, she’d be proud of me. Then she added, “But if you didn’t get an A, I’ll know you didn’t do your best.” She said it with a smile, but I took it seriously: I shouldn’t settle for anything less than perfect. My greatest weakness is that I’m too much of a perfectionist.(在我成长的过程中，我妈妈经常说，不管我在学校取得了什么成绩，只要我做到了最好，她就会为我感到骄傲。然后她又说：“但如果你没有得到A，我就知道你没有尽力。”她说这话时面带微笑，但我却当真了：我不应该满足于任何不完美的东西。我最大的缺点是过于追求完美)”可知，第一段主要讲的是作者成为完美主义者的原因。故选A。 38．细节理解题。根据第二段“Perfectionism is the desire to be 100% perfect. The goal is zero faults and no failures.(完美主义就是想要100%完美。目标是零错误，没有失败)”以及第三段“When I won the fifth-grade quiz bowl on world explorers, I beat myself up afterward for missing one question.(当我在五年级世界探险家竞赛中获胜时，我因为错过了一道题而自责)”可知，渴望完美让作者对已经取得的成就不满意。故选C。 39．细节理解题。根据最后一段“I met people who didn’t seem to be weighed down by the same expectations, who accepted their mistakes and saw them as opportunities for growth rather than failures. They taught me that it was okay to be imperfect, that it was human to make mistakes, and that sometimes, the most important lessons come from our failures.(我遇到了一些人，他们似乎没有被同样的期望所拖累，他们接受自己的错误，把它们视为成长的机会，而不是失败。他们告诉我，不完美是可以接受的，犯错误是人之常情，有时候，最重要的教训来自于我们的失败)”可知，遇到那些接受不完美的人让作者改变了对完美主义的态度。故选D。 40．推理判断题。根据第一段“My greatest weakness is that I’m too much of a perfectionist.(我最大的缺点是过于追求完美)”以及最后一段“It was during my college years that I started to question the value of this perfectionism.(在大学期间，我开始质疑这种完美主义的价值)”结合文章主要讲述了作者从小到大追求完美，到大学时期因遇到一些人而改变对完美主义态度的成长故事。可知，这篇文章可能取自杂志的“成长故事”专栏。故选B。 11.（2025·四川内江·一模）Diabetes (糖尿病) researchers from the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have developed a new understanding of how human beta cell regenerative (再生的) drugs work. These drugs, developed at Mount Sinai, may hold promise for more than 500 million people with diabetes in the world. The results of this study were published this month in Cell Reports Medicine. Diabetes develops when cells known as beta cells become unable to produce insulin, a chemical substance essential to regulating blood sugar levels. While great progress has been made toward discovering a long-term treatment, none are appliable for millions of patients across the world. For more than 15 years, researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have worked tirelessly to find a solution to cure diabetes by identifying a drug that could make human beta cells regenerate. In 2015, Mount Sinai researchers discovered the first such drug, called harmine. Harmine is a member of a class of drugs called DYRK1A inhibitors (抑制剂). Finally, in July 2024, they showed that harmine alone increases human beta cell mass by 300 percent, and if a GLP-1RA is added, by 700 percent. A key question has been how harmine causes beta cells to regenerate. In the newest study, the research team reports that the new, regenerated beta cells may be coming from an unexpected source: a second pancreatic cell type called alpha cells. Since alpha cells are abundant in people with type 1 and type 2 diabetes, they may serve as a source for new beta cells in both common types of diabetes. “This may mean that people with all forms of diabetes have a large potential ‘container’ for future beta cells, just waiting to be activated by drugs like harmine.” said Esra Karakose, corresponding author of the study. “A simple pill, perhaps together with a GLP-1RA like semaglutide, is affordable and accessible to the millions of people with diabetes,” said Dr. Stewart, another researcher. 41．What can be inferred from drugs developed at Mount Sinai? A．They strengthen the effects of each beta cell. B．They have yet to appear in relevant journals. C．They are taken by over 500 million patients. D．They help regulate the quantity of beta cell. 42．What do we know about harmine? A．It belongs to one part of DYRK1A． B．It stops the formation of DYRK1A． C．It is the first drug to cure diabetes. D．It is useless without a GLP-1RA． 43．How does harmine cause beta cells to regenerate? A．By transforming alpha cells into beta cells. B．By enabling existing beta cells to reproduce. C．By pushing more organs to release beta cells. D．By creating a safe environment for beta cells. 44．What is the suitable title for the text? A．Researchers gain a new insight into diabetes. B．Researchers spare no efforts to cure diabetes. C．Researchers move closer to a cure for diabetes. D．Researchers reveal a “container” for beta cells. 【答案】41．D 42．B 43．A 44．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要说明了随着治疗糖尿病的新药Harmine问世，研究者在糖尿病治愈之路上又迈进了一步。 41．细节理解题。根据第一段“Diabetes (糖尿病) researchers from the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have developed a new understanding of how human beta cell regenerative (再生的) drugs work.(西奈山伊坎医学院的糖尿病研究人员对人类β细胞再生药物的工作原理有了新的认识)”以及第三段“Finally, in July 2024, they showed that harmine alone increases human beta cell mass by 300 percent, and if a GLP-1RA is added, by 700 percent.(最后，在2024年7月，他们发现，单靠伤害碱就能使人体β细胞质量增加300%，如果加入GLP-1RA，则能增加700%)”可知，这种药可以调控人类β细胞的数量。故选D。 42．细节理解题。根据第三段“Harmine is a member of a class of drugs called DYRK1A inhibitors.( Harmine是一类被称为DYRK1A抑制剂的药物中的一员)”可知，harmine属于DYRK1A抑制剂，所以能够抑制DYRK1A的形成。故选B。 43．推理判断题。根据第四段“In the newest study, the research team reports that the new, regenerated beta cells may be coming from an unexpected source: a second pancreatic cell type called alpha cells. Since alpha cells are abundant in people with type 1 and type 2 diabetes, they may serve as a source for new beta cells in both common types of diabetes.(在最新的研究中，研究小组报告说，新的再生细胞可能来自一个意想不到的来源：第二种胰腺细胞类型，称为α细胞。由于α细胞在1型和2型糖尿病患者中含量丰富，它们可能是这两种常见糖尿病中新β细胞的来源)”可知，α细胞可以转化成β细胞。故选A。 44．主旨大意题。根据第一段“Diabetes (糖尿病) researchers from the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have developed a new understanding of how human beta cell regenerative (再生的) drugs work. These drugs, developed at Mount Sinai, may hold promise for more than 500 million people with diabetes in the world.(西奈山伊坎医学院的糖尿病研究人员对人类β细胞再生药物的工作原理有了新的认识。这些在西奈山开发的药物可能为世界上5亿多糖尿病患者带来希望)”可知，结合文章主要说明了随着治疗糖尿病的新药Harmine问世，研究者在糖尿病治愈之路上又迈进了一步。C选项“研究人员离治愈糖尿病更近了一步”最符合文章标题。故选C。 12.（24-25高三上·辽宁丹东·期末）Sodium dehydroacetate (SDHA脱氢乙酸钠) is a preservative, particularly effective against molds (霉菌) and yeasts (酵母菌). It has been widely used in the food industry to extend shelf life and prevent spoilage. However, research has indicated potential health risks associated with long-term and high-dose consumption. Animal studies have suggested that SDHA can cause a decrease in food intake, weight loss, coagulation ability decline, and changes in liver and kidney tissues. Scientific community has become increasingly concerned about its long-term health effects. It has been found that excessive (过度的) intake can lead to liver and kidney damage, central nervous system disorders, and other health issues. These findings have led to a reevaluation of its safety and use in food products. In response to these concerns, food safety standards have been updated to limit the use of SDHA．For instance, the new standard GB2760-2024 in China has restricted its use in several food categories, including starch products, bread, pastries, and baking fillings, effective from February 8, 2025. This adjustment reflects a global trend where the use of SDHA is being strictly examined and limited due to potential health risks. Faced with the new regulations, many manufacturers have to make significant changes to their preservative-based additives, taking into account not only the potential increase in production costs but also the need to upgrade their technological processes. The public, on the other hand, has shown a growing awareness and concern over food additives, which is driving the industry to develop safer and more natural preservatives. This trend is likely to influence the food additives industry’s development, as consumer preference shifts towards products with fewer and more natural additives. 45．What can be learned about SDHA from Paragraph 1? A．It has recently been proved poisonous. B．It can keep food fresh for a longer time. C．It can cause animals increase food intake. D．It has been widely used in shelf production. 46．What do the research findings cause? A．Improvement of the SDHA use. B．Stricter assessment of SDHA’s risk. C．More concern about the food production. D．Further investigation of the animals’ health. 47．Why is the new standard GB2760-2024 mentioned? A．To stress the China’s global influence. B．To list the food categories harmed by SDHA． C．To show action is taken to deal with concerns. D．To highlight the potential health risks of SDHA． 48．Which is the best title of the text? A．Revisiting SDHA — regulations adjusted B．Replacing SDHA — technology advanced C．Researching SDHA — people concerned D．Restricting SDHA — food industry panicked 【答案】45．B 46．B 47．C 48．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要阐述了脱氢乙酸钠(SDHA)作为食品防腐剂用途会带来的健康风险，以及其所引发的监管调整，强调食品安全标准的更新与行业应对。 45．细节理解题。根据第一段中“It has been widely used in the food industry to extend shelf life and prevent spoilage.(它已被广泛用于食品工业中，以延长保质期和防止变质)”可知，脱氢乙酸钠（SDHA）可以让食物保鲜更久。故选B。 46．细节理解题。根据第二段“Scientific community has become increasingly concerned about its long-term health effects. It has been found that excessive (过度的) intake can lead to liver and kidney damage, central nervous system disorders, and other health issues. These findings have led to a reevaluation of its safety and use in food products.(科学界越来越关注其长期健康影响。已发现过度摄入会导致肝脏和肾脏损伤、中枢神经系统紊乱和其他健康问题。这些发现导致对其在食品中的安全性和使用进行了重新评估)”可知，研究发现导致了对脱氢乙酸钠风险的更严格评估。故选B。 47．推理判断题。根据第三段中“In response to these concerns, food safety standards have been updated to limit the use of SDHA. For instance, the new standard GB2760-2024 in China has restricted its use in several food categories, including starch products, bread, pastries, and baking fillings, effective from February 8, 2025.(为了回应这些担忧，食品安全标准已更新，以限制脱氢乙酸钠的使用。例如，中国的新标准GB2760-2024从2025年2月8日起，限制了在包括淀粉制品、面包、糕点和烘焙馅料在内的几类食品中的使用)”可推知，提到新标准GB2760-2024是为了表明已经行动来应对这些担忧。故选C。 48．主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第一段中“Sodium dehydroacetate (SDHA脱氢乙酸钠) is a preservative, particularly effective against molds (霉菌) and yeasts (酵母菌).(脱氢乙酸钠是一种防腐剂，对霉菌和酵母菌特别有效)”及第二段中“These findings have led to a reevaluation of its safety and use in food products.(这些发现导致对其在食品中的安全性和使用进行了重新评估)”、第三段中“In response to these concerns, food safety standards have been updated to limit the use of SDHA.(为了回应这些担忧，食品安全标准已更新，以限制脱氢乙酸钠的使用)”可知，文章主要讲述了研究发现脱氢乙酸钠作为防腐剂在食品中的使用会带来潜在健康风险，这引发对其安全性的重新评估和相关规定的调整。故A选项“重新审视脱氢乙酸钠——规定调整”最符合文章主旨，是文章的最佳标题。故选A。 2 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！ 1 / 15 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 专题04 阅读理解之主旨大意题 ———————————————————————————————————————————— 1.（2025·福建漳州·二模）My teenage daughter signed up to run a 5K that Saturday morning, and I planned to return to bed after dropping her off. I quickly grabbed some clothes and rushed out of the door with her. When we arrived and I saw the crowd, a thought crossed my mind — I might miss her first event. And past experiences implied that this likelihood was fairly high. There was a strange pull to join her somehow, even though I knew it was unlikely. I hadn’t been physically active recently and was not dressed for a race. Anyhow, I pretended there had been friends’ encouragement. I found myself registering for the race, telling myself I would just walk it. I tied my sweatshirt around my waist and stuffed my keys in my pocket. When the gun went off, I ran along with everyone else. I quickly dropped back, and soon became dead last, which made me upset. The crowd vanished (消失) over a hill, and I lost sight of my daughter. Only one other woman remained, who looked about 20 years older than me. We began a series of running and walking. When she ran again, I couldn’t let her pass me, so I ran too. I managed to pass her, giving me a ray of delight, and later I passed a group of women. I continued to switch between running and walking until I passed one of my daughter’s classmates, and then another. The course wound through Amish country and Amish children lined the route, watching us. I doubted whether I could make it up the last hill, but I kept picking goals, such as a telephone pole or a mailbox, to run or walk to. I even figured out that if I made my step distance long when I walked, I would cover more ground. I finally crossed the finish line to find my daughter waiting for me. My face burned red, and my legs hurt, but I was proud of both of us as we posed for a selfie (自拍) wearing our numbers. 1．Why did the author join the race? A．To compete in the race with her daughter.

Frank Rothwell dedicated the extreme feat to his brother-in-law Roger, who died of Alzheimer’s disease (阿尔茨海默病) during Frank’s crossing. Requiring 18 months of hard training, the entire trip took eight grueling (艰辛的) weeks for Rothwell to travel from La Gomera in the Canary Islands on December 12 to the finish line 3000 miles away in Antigua on February 6. “I like a challenge!” explains Frank on his fundraising site. “In 2017, I spent five weeks on a deserted island for the Channel 4 program, the Island with Bear Grylls. Before that, I was only the 10th person ever to circumnavigate North and South America.” In a statement, Hilary Evans, chief executive of Alzheimer’s Research UK, said, “We’re honored to have such amazing support from Frank. His courage and determination helped him to complete his epic challenge and raise £1 million for dementia (痴呆) research.” “This incredible amount will be a huge benefit to the groundbreaking research we carry out here at Alzheimer’s Research UK, as we continue our mission to bring about life-changing treatments for people affected by dementia,” added Evans. Crossing the finish line was an emotional moment for Rothwell. He said, “I am on cloud nine! I set out in December wishing to raise £1 million for Alzheimer’s Research UK but I never thought I’d actually achieve it. At times, the challenge was incredibly tough, with rough seas, huge waves, and missing my wife, Judith. But as exhausting as it was, it was all totally worth it.” He also said, “Having received hundreds of messages from people who, like me, have witnessed the heartbreak of dementia, I am proud to have raised such an incredible amount in honor of Roger and everyone else who has experienced the destruction it causes.” 5．What does the underlined word in paragraph 1 probably mean?

However, with limited financial resources and 13 children to feed and educate, becoming an artist was not a practical option for him at the time. And about 10 years ago, Gallo’s wife was diagnosed (诊断) with Alzheimer’s disease, and her condition worsened to the point that she had to move into a care home. This challenging period marked the beginning of Gallo’s artistic journey, when he was already 83 years old. Gallo initially studied mechanical engineering in Barcelona and later worked for a company in Zaragoza. In 1966, he pursued management studies at IESE Business School in Barcelona, and by 1968, he had become an associate professor there. With his academic background, Gallo was determined to study at a respected institution. However, when he applied to study art in Barcelona, he was encouraged to pursue art history instead. He was firm, replying, “No, I want to paint.” The course was initially set for four years, but due to the need to balance it with his family commitments, it took Gallo seven years to complete it. He graduated at the age of 90. Gallo admires Francisco de Zurbarán for his masterful use of white, and Joaquín Sorolla for his skillful use of light. Reflecting on his artistic journey, he noted, “Studying art has strengthened my belief that the truly great things in life are goodness, truth, and beauty. I don’t mind making money, but increasingly, those other things matter most to me.” Some of Gallo’s works were featured in an exhibition in Graus, a small village in the Pyrenees, where they were displayed for six months. Gallo humbly acknowledged, “After completing my degree, would I call myself an artist? I don’t know, but at least now I have a piece of paper that says I am.” 9．What can be learnt about Gallo from paragraphs 1 and 2? A．He prioritized his family over his interest. B．He became a professor in his 20s. C．He had a natural talent for doing business. D．He lived with poor health for long. 10．What happened to Gallo when he applied to study art in Barcelona?

Yes, rock climbing! It’s all part of their therapy (疗法),” says Molly Cupka, the no-nonsense instructor and cheerleader for this community of courageous climbers. She started this program, called Up ENDing Parkinson’s, as a non-profit 12 years ago. There’s no cure for Parkinson’s disease, which usually affects mobility, coordination, balance, and even speech. Jon Lessin was diagnosed (诊断) in 2003. He was once an all-around athlete. About 12 years ago, he retired because of Parkinson’s disease. It was Lessin who first had that big idea to use rock climbing as a therapy for Parkinson’s disease. “I wanted to do big-movement exercise,” he said. “And I found Molly Cupka at this gym.” Lessin proposed the idea to Molly Cupka, who runs the Sportrock Climbing Centers in Alexandria, Virginia. She thought it was worth a try, given the sport requires participants to plan ahead, and to know where to position their hands and feet. “I wish I could go into the brain and see what’s happening while people climb,” Molly Cupka said. There’s no evidence that climbing slows the progress of Parkinson’s disease, but Molly Cupka joined forces with Marymount University last year to study patients climbing for the first time. “We have people literally walking and carrying weights, you know, walking and looking, multitasking,” she said. The study found that, in so many words, if you climb, you may walk better. Marymount University’s Center for Optimal Aging studies on physical and psychosocial effects of rock climbing on individuals with Parkinson’s disease. Mark de Mulder, a musician and former director of the National Geospatial Program, doesn’t need a study to prove what climbing does for him. “It allows me to say, ‘All right, take that, Parkinson’s! I’m doing this!’ It just makes me feel stronger, and I’m fighting it. I’m doing something about it.” Many of the climbers have become friends who climb together several times a week, and they’ve become a support group, Parkinson’s Pals, who encourage each other. 13．How may people feel when seeing those with Parkinson’s disease rock climbing? A．Confused. B．Astonished. C．Annoyed. D．Embarrassed. 14．Why did Molly Cupka agreed to study rock climbing therapy? A．It’s a low-impact exercise. B．It requires no planning. C．It’s an individual activity. D．It involves multitasking. 15．What did the study reveal about rock climbing to people with Parkinson’s disease? A．It boosts their walking ability. B．It improves their social life. C．It completely cures the disease. D．It slows the progress of the disease. 16．What can be a suitable title for the text? A．The Benefits of Rock Climbing B．Living with Parkinson’s Disease C．Fighting Parkinson’s Disease with Rock Climbing D．The Impact of Exercise on Parkinson’s Disease 5.（24-25高三上·云南德宏·期末）Having spent more than a decade on the dance floor, ROME — Niccolo Filippi, a 23-year-old Italian dance performer, recently decided to explore Chinese culture and its traditional dance forms and believes that this experience will not only boost his career, but also broaden his horizons beyond the world of dance. His interest in diversifying his skills grew after he stumbled upon a short video of traditional Chinese-styled dance on YouTube. “I saw it as an art that combines tradition and modernity, which was mostly the reason why I liked it,” says Filippi. Ever since, he has been closely following Chinese dance performers and watching numerous videos to learn more about the traditional style that he admires. Then Filippi’s chance came when he was invited to perform for a Chinese New Year celebration. He has since fully committed himself to the art form, learning several pieces and putting his newfound passion into practice. “The biggest difference that I found is the change of mood and emotional expressions among dances,” says Filippi, adding that he needed to shift from the dynamic moves of hip-hop to the graceful and fluid movements of Chinese dance. Despite various obstacles, Filippi’s efforts have not gone unnoticed. Two of his friends shared videos of his performances on social media, and the response was overwhelming. One video garnered 500,000 views, while the other received 200,000 views. Filippi believes that learning about different cultures is priceless, and he sees it as a means of personal growth. “I like to think of a person as a book,” he says. “Embracing different traditions and cultures, such as Chinese culture and many others, is like adding new chapters to my book, making it more diverse and wonderful.” 17．What is the main reason why Filippi falls in love with traditional Chinese dance? A．Its potential to boost his career. B．Its rich emotional expressions. C．Its mix of traditional and modern elements. D．Its true reflection of his elegant personality. 18．How does the author explain the popularity of Filippi’s videos? A．By listing numbers. B．By giving an example. C．By sharing a story. D．By making a comparison. 19．What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A．Filippi thinks little of learning from other cultures. B．Accepting various cultures boosts personal growth.

D．An Italian dancer shows passion for Chinese-styled dance. 6.（24-25高三下·广西柳州·开学考试）One summer, my friend Shelia and I took our pre-teen children and their friends to Liberty land, an amusement park in Memphis, Tennessee. It was an extremely hot day. By mid-afternoon, Shelia and I were worn out, while the kids were still energetic. We decided to rest in the outdoor theatre while the children continued riding. The theatre, though shaded, had no air conditioning. A show was about to begin as we sat down. Despite the small audience of about 20 people looking for a cool place to sit, the teenage performers delivered an energetic and lively performance with rock and roll music. In the end, the audience gave only polite, half-hearted applause. However, Shelia stood up and cheered loudly as if she had seen the most amazing Broadway production in her life. She explained to me, “These are someone else’s kids. Since their moms aren’t here, we need to support them.” I was deeply moved by Shelia’s words. I had never thought about it that way before. I joined Shelia in cheering for these hard-working young performers. This happened over six years ago, but Shelia’s words have stayed with me. Now, I try to remember that the teenagers I meet in various service jobs are all someone’s children. I make an effort to treat them as I would want others to treat my own children. Thanks, Shelia, for applying the golden rule — “Treat others’ children as you would want them to treat yours!” This experience taught me the importance of supporting and encouraging young people, even when they’re not our own, and how a small act of kindness can make a difference. 21．Why did Shelia and the author decide to rest in the outdoor theatre?

When he was young, he moved to Kunming with his mother. Feeling like a caged bird in a big city, he was bored with the busy and noisy city life and looked forward to nature. His chance soon came. In 1983, he helped shoot (拍摄) a documentary about birds. That experience led him to learn photography and take photos of flying birds. In the 1980s, the Internet was not that popular in China and cameras were expensive. He managed to borrow a camera and threw himself into studying how to use it. During that time, the library became his favorite place where he first read some magazines about nature. It opened a door for him to connect with nature. In 1992, a research program was organized to protect a type of unusual monkeys living only in China. Usually, the home of these monkeys has half-a-year-long winters. It created great challenges for Xi Zhinong’s work, but he never drew back. “I didn’t see the monkeys in the wild until I went into the mountains the third time,” said Xi Zhinong. He went into the snow mountains six times just to get valuable photographs of the monkeys. Several years later, his works won international prizes. People around the world began to pay attention to the protection of wild animals in China. And he is the first Chinese winner of the world-famous Wildlife Photographer of the Year. In order to call on tons of people to protect wildlife with cameras, he started “China Wildlife Photography Training Camp”. He hopes that more young people will join in for the nature protection. 25．What can we learn about Xi Zhinong from paragraph 1? A．He felt like a free bird. B．He would like to live in nature.

Curiosity awakened, I leaned in closer and noticed yellowed papers and black-and-white photos spilling from its edges. The label, written in Spanish, read “Historia Antigua”. As I opened it, I recognized my grandfather’s distinctive handwriting — unmistakably Argentine. The first words struck me: I’m not sure what I’m about to write, but I’ve had this idea for a number of years now, since a conversation with my father when I turned thirteen and had my Bar Mitzvah (成人礼) … I had always longed to learn more about our family history, and now, here it was before me. I was holding a treasure collection of letters, diaries, travelogues, and news clippings — documents recording centuries of our family’s past, passed down from my grandfather’s father. It was more than just written records; it was an oral history preserved in writing. For months, I kept my discovery a secret, stealing quiet moments to read more. One day, my grandfather — Abuelo — led me to the basement, smiling as he pointed to the open binder. “You’ve been reading my stories,” he said. His face lit up when I admitted it, and then together we spent hours reading Historia Antigua, discussing family trees, identity, and history. Abuelo explained names and places in Spanish, Arabic, and Hebrew — each conversation deepening my understanding of our family history. As a journalist, I began asking deeper questions — why my great-grandparents fled Damascus, why my great-grandfather traveled the Andes by horse-drawn cart. Through these stories, I came to realize how time steals family history. By the time the storytellers are gone, all we have left are dates and places. If you can, ask your relatives now. Record their stories — because family stories are the threads that connect us to who we are and where we come from. 29．Why did the author read Historia Antigua carefully?

A．Secret Discovered in the Basement B．Historia Antigua: A Family Legacy C．Long-Lost Stories of Ancestors D．Unforgotten Memories of Grandfather 9.（24-25高三下·山西晋中·开学考试）In rural South Africa, 16 teams of women, all of us over 50 years old, participated in this opening event — the Grannies International Football Tournament. It was 13 years in the making, built on dreams and a friendship that crosses continents. The organizer, Beka Ntsanwisi — a well-known community activist and cancer survivor — founded the original team of soccer-playing grandmothers aged 40 to 80, some 15 years ago, to improve their health. At first the locals laughed at them and told them they belonged at home caring for their grandchildren. But a team doctor recorded results from their regular exercise: improved mobility, lowered blood pressure and better digestion. In 2010, the international spotlight landed the team an invitation to travel and play in a tournament in Massachusetts. Like the Grannies, I found soccer later in life and my Lexington, Massachusetts teammates are among my best friends. Beka replied to my invitation without hesitation: “We will come, my sister.” In July 2010, 15 Grannies streamed through the Boston airport. They wowed us with their dancing on the sidelines of the field and their enthusiasm for life. And during that visit, Beka announced, “Before I die, I want to host a Grannies World Cup.” In March, 2023, Beka’s 13-year wish to host a Grannies international tournament was finally and joyfully met. The tournament, held in the town of Nkowankowa, was intense as France, Zambia, three South African teams, and all three U. S. teams entered the quarterfinals on the fourth and final day. My team would settle for second place, but the U. S. Breakers, also from Massachusetts, held the 3-foot-tall trophy (奖杯) in the air. The goalkeeper presented the trophy to Beka and the host Grannies team, without whom this event would never have taken place. We know Beka is the true champion. For me, the Grannies tournament was an extraordinary gift, an experience I will not forget. For all of us, we hold on to our memories of bonding with our soccer sisters. 33．What can we learn about the original team founded by Beka? A．It was 13 years in the making.

Then she added, “But if you didn’t get an A, I’ll know you didn’t do your best.” She said it with a smile, but I took it seriously: I shouldn’t settle for anything less than perfect. My greatest weakness is that I’m too much of a perfectionist. Perfectionism is the desire to be 100% perfect. The goal is zero faults and no failures. In an increasingly competitive world, kids face growing pressure from parents to be perfect and severe criticism when they fall short. Every fault is a blow to their self-esteem (自尊). I’ve lived it myself. When I won the fifth-grade quiz bowl on world explorers, I beat myself up afterward for missing one question. How could I forget that the sea route to India was discovered by da Gama, but not Magellan? When I made the finals of a Mortal Kombat tournament and won a lifetime pass to a local movie theater, I didn’t celebrate. Third place is the second loser. When I won the first prize in a math test, I was disappointed. Only a 98? Not good enough. There was always a voice in the back of my mind whispering that it wasn’t enough and that I could have done better. It was during my college years that I started to question the value of this perfectionism. I met people who didn’t seem to be weighed down by the same expectations, who accepted their mistakes and saw them as opportunities for growth rather than failures. They taught me that it was okay to be imperfect, that it was human to make mistakes, and that sometimes, the most important lessons come from our failures. 37．What is paragraph 1 mainly about? A．Why the author became a perfectionist. B．The disadvantage of being a perfectionist. C．How the author got the good grades in school. D．The feeling of being grateful to the author’s mother. 38．What made the author unsatisfied with what had been achieved? A．Blame from parents. B．Desire to get first prize. C．Eagerness to be perfect. D．Pressure of competitions. 39．What made the author change the attitude towards perfectionism? A．Losing expectation to succeed. B．Realizing the harm of being perfect. C．Learning lessons from other people’s failure. D．Encountering those accepting imperfection. 40．Which column of a magazine may the text be taken from? A．Parenting Styles. B．Coming-of-Age Stories. C．People of Achievement. D．Challenges Facing Youth. 11.（2025·四川内江·一模）Diabetes (糖尿病) researchers from the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have developed a new understanding of how human beta cell regenerative (再生的) drugs work. These drugs, developed at Mount Sinai, may hold promise for more than 500 million people with diabetes in the world. The results of this study were published this month in Cell Reports Medicine. Diabetes develops when cells known as beta cells become unable to produce insulin, a chemical substance essential to regulating blood sugar levels. While great progress has been made toward discovering a long-term treatment, none are appliable for millions of patients across the world. For more than 15 years, researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have worked tirelessly to find a solution to cure diabetes by identifying a drug that could make human beta cells regenerate. In 2015, Mount Sinai researchers discovered the first such drug, called harmine. Harmine is a member of a class of drugs called DYRK1A inhibitors (抑制剂). Finally, in July 2024, they showed that harmine alone increases human beta cell mass by 300 percent, and if a GLP-1RA is added, by 700 percent. A key question has been how harmine causes beta cells to regenerate. In the newest study, the research team reports that the new, regenerated beta cells may be coming from an unexpected source: a second pancreatic cell type called alpha cells. Since alpha cells are abundant in people with type 1 and type 2 diabetes, they may serve as a source for new beta cells in both common types of diabetes. “This may mean that people with all forms of diabetes have a large potential ‘container’ for future beta cells, just waiting to be activated by drugs like harmine.” said Esra Karakose, corresponding author of the study. “A simple pill, perhaps together with a GLP-1RA like semaglutide, is affordable and accessible to the millions of people with diabetes,” said Dr. Stewart, another researcher. 41．What can be inferred from drugs developed at Mount Sinai? A．They strengthen the effects of each beta cell. B．They have yet to appear in relevant journals. C．They are taken by over 500 million patients. D．They help regulate the quantity of beta cell. 42．What do we know about harmine? A．It belongs to one part of DYRK1A． B．It stops the formation of DYRK1A． C．It is the first drug to cure diabetes. D．It is useless without a GLP-1RA． 43．How does harmine cause beta cells to regenerate? A．By transforming alpha cells into beta cells. B．By enabling existing beta cells to reproduce. C．By pushing more organs to release beta cells. D．By creating a safe environment for beta cells. 44．What is the suitable title for the text? A．Researchers gain a new insight into diabetes. B．Researchers spare no efforts to cure diabetes. C．Researchers move closer to a cure for diabetes. D．Researchers reveal a “container” for beta cells. 12.（24-25高三上·辽宁丹东·期末）Sodium dehydroacetate (SDHA脱氢乙酸钠) is a preservative, particularly effective against molds (霉菌) and yeasts (酵母菌). It has been widely used in the food industry to extend shelf life and prevent spoilage. However, research has indicated potential health risks associated with long-term and high-dose consumption. Animal studies have suggested that SDHA can cause a decrease in food intake, weight loss, coagulation ability decline, and changes in liver and kidney tissues. Scientific community has become increasingly concerned about its long-term health effects. It has been found that excessive (过度的) intake can lead to liver and kidney damage, central nervous system disorders, and other health issues. These findings have led to a reevaluation of its safety and use in food products. In response to these concerns, food safety standards have been updated to limit the use of SDHA．For instance, the new standard GB2760-2024 in China has restricted its use in several food categories, including starch products, bread, pastries, and baking fillings, effective from February 8, 2025. This adjustment reflects a global trend where the use of SDHA is being strictly examined and limited due to potential health risks. Faced with the new regulations, many manufacturers have to make significant changes to their preservative-based additives, taking into account not only the potential increase in production costs but also the need to upgrade their technological processes. The public, on the other hand, has shown a growing awareness and concern over food additives, which is driving the industry to develop safer and more natural preservatives. This trend is likely to influence the food additives industry’s development, as consumer preference shifts towards products with fewer and more natural additives. 45．What can be learned about SDHA from Paragraph 1? A．It has recently been proved poisonous. B．It can keep food fresh for a longer time. C．It can cause animals increase food intake. D．It has been widely used in shelf production. 46．What do the research findings cause? A．Improvement of the SDHA use. B．Stricter assessment of SDHA’s risk. C．More concern about the food production. D．Further investigation of the animals’ health. 47．Why is the new standard GB2760-2024 mentioned? A．To stress the China’s global influence. B．To list the food categories harmed by SDHA． C．To show action is taken to deal with concerns. D．To highlight the potential health risks of SDHA． 48．Which is the best title of the text? A．Revisiting SDHA — regulations adjusted B．Replacing SDHA — technology advanced C．Researching SDHA — people concerned D．Restricting SDHA — food industry panicked 2 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！ 1 / 15 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
