备战2025年高考英语名校模拟真题速递(山东专用) 第一期 专题06 阅读理解之记叙文15篇 基础语篇巩固练 （24-25高三下·山东潍坊·开学考试）When I bought a house in Portland four years ago, I immediately began designing my dream garden, intending to remove the weeds and plant some vegetables or long-lasting flowers. I soon discovered, however, that the soil was unproductive, clay-heavy and littered with stones. In previous, much tinier gardens, I’d fix it with a few bags of high-quality soil from the nursery. Replacing this vastly greater quantity of dirt was neither practical nor financially possible. Instead, I decided to remediate (补救) what I already had. The challenge before me was to revive the soil. Two core principles of modern agriculture can guide this shift: minimizing soil disturbance and emphasizing biodiversity. In practice, growing crops by turns; prioritizing organic inputs over chemical fertilizers; integrating crops, trees and livestock; and sheltering soil from being washed away with cover crops, often work. I tried to apply such methods in my garden. Where once there was only grass, I made a pond, a rock garden, a wildflower field and raised beds for vegetables. I let plants grow and decompose by themselves in a natural way. I also introduced different plants and revived its ecological communities. In May, I decided to relocate a flowering plant. As I dug the plant out, all manner of life emerged. Earthworms swung from the roots. A daddy longlegs hurried for shelter. Below the plant I even noticed the fine white fungal mycelium (真菌菌丝). Running my fingers through the soil, I understood, more clearly than ever before, that I transformed much more than my yard - it completely changed the way I think about soil. It’s not simply as a medium for life, but as a living entity (个体) in its own right. Although science still lacks an agreed definition of life, textbooks highlight criteria widely considered to differentiate the living and nonliving. Soil meets many of them: It has a highly organized structure. It has a capacity for active self-preservation. It grows. It breathes. And it can die. 1．What was the soil problem in the author’s garden? A．Wet and salty. B．Poor and stony. C．Dry and sandy. D．Acidic and weedy. 2．What was the focus of the author’s gardening methods? A．Limiting plant variety. B．Adopting a high-tech approach. C．Giving more intervention. D．Creating a sustainable environment. 3．Why does the author mention the replanting in May? A．To introduce different species. B．To prove the garden shelters insects. C．To show the soil has come to life. D．To explain the transplanting process. 4．What is conveyed in the last paragraph? A．Soil has a soul. B．Life is well defined. C．Life has complexity. D．Soil is the source of life. 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．C 4．A 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者改造花园土壤的过程，通过可持续方法恢复土壤生机，并领悟到土壤如同有生命的存在。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段中“I soon discovered, however, that the soil was unproductive, clay-heavy and littered with stones. (然而，我很快发现土壤贫瘠，粘土多，到处都是石头。)”可知，作者花园里的土壤问题是贫瘠且多石的。故选B。 2．推理判断题。根据第三段中“Two core principles of modern agriculture can guide this shift: minimizing soil disturbance and emphasizing biodiversity. (现代农业的两个核心原则可以指导这一转变：尽量减少对土壤的干扰并强调生物多样性。)”以及后续描写作者尝试应用这些方法，包括让植物自然生长和分解，引入不同的植物和恢复其生态群落等，可推断出作者园艺方法的重点是创造一个可持续的环境。故选D。 3．推理判断题。根据第五段“In May, I decided to relocate a flowering plant. As I dug the plant out, all manner of life emerged. Earthworms swung from the roots. A daddy longlegs hurried for shelter. Below the plant I even noticed the fine white fungal mycelium (真菌菌丝). (五月份，我决定移栽一株开花的植物。当我把这株植物挖出来时，各种各样的生命出现了。蚯蚓从根部悬垂下来，一只长腿蜘蛛急忙寻找遮蔽处。在植物下方，我还注意到了细小的白色真菌菌丝。)”以及最后一段中“Running my fingers through the soil, I understood, more clearly than ever before, that I transformed much more than my yard - it completely changed the way I think about soil. (我用手指划过土壤，比以往任何时候都更清楚地意识到，我改变的不仅仅是我的院子——它完全改变了我对土壤的看法。)”可推知，作者提到五月的重新种植是为了展示土壤已经恢复了活力。故选C。 4．主旨大意题。根据最后一段中“It’s not simply as a medium for life, but as a living entity (个体) in its own right. Although science still lacks an agreed definition of life, textbooks highlight criteria widely considered to differentiate the living and nonliving. Soil meets many of them: It has a highly organized structure. It has a capacity for active self-preservation. It grows. It breathes. And it can die. (它不仅仅是一种承载生命的介质，而是一个独立的生命体。尽管科学界对生命的定义尚未达成一致，但教科书强调了一些广泛用于区分生物与非生物的标准。土壤符合其中的许多标准：它具有高度有序的结构，具备积极自我保护的能力，能够生长，能够呼吸，并且也可能会死亡。)”可知，最后一段传达的是“土壤有灵魂”的意思。故选A。 （24-25高三下·山东·开学考试）In her new children’s book No More Mimi. Meg Medina recalled her beloved babysitter Miuut. She was a wonderful babysitter but kind of a pain in the neck, as well-Medina says you could look at the things on her coffee table, but you definitely couldn’t touch them. “She felt this was a very important skill,” she says. “We used to stand at that table and she'd have us practice, like putting our hands behind our back, and you could lean (倾斜) forward and look at all the pretty things.” When Medina was five years old, her grandmother came to take care of her. She started out super excited that her grandmother was coming. “I bet grandma will let me play whenever I want,” Medina told Mimi excitedly and she shared this news with her teacher until she realized that a new babysitter meant no more Mimi. Brittany Cicchese, the illustrator of the book, painted this moment with her soft style-Medina sat under the table and curled up with a blanket, whispering sadly to her dog, “No more Mimi.” Luckily, Mimi went exactly nowhere. She became friends with Medina’s grandmother, and they’d often drink coffee together. “She loved us,” says Medina. Mimi stayed a part of her life forever. “I hold a space for her in my heart,” she says. “Mimi is not buried very far from my real grandmother in Flushing, Queens”. She wrote this children’s book in her honor. So many people raise kids. There are our parents, of course, but also elder brothers and sisters, teachers, cousins, librarians, and neighbors. It’s easy to forget just how ma people have a role in helping raise us. “It feels good to know that there’s this story for kids right now, but that there’s a piece of this story that’s also about remembering these wonderful women who helped raise us,” says Medina. “It feels like we’re paying them honor. You know, we’re just honoring their memory.” 1．What does the underlined part “a pain in the neck” in paragraph 1 mean? A．Annoying. B．Painful. C．Dangerous. D．Impatient. 2．What can we learn from Brittany Cicchese’s description? A．Medina was deeply attached to Mimi. B．Mimi finally finished her job and left. C．Mimi regretted taking care of Medina. D．Medina came down with a severe cold. 3．Which of the following best describes Mimi? A．Grateful and lively. B．Humorous and shy. C．Kind and curious. D．Strict and caring. 4．What is the purpose of the author in writing the book? A．To share stories of a babysitter. B．To obtain a name in her career. C．To propose life advice for kids. D．To appreciate others' kindness. 【答案】1．A 2．A 3．D 4．C 【导语】本文是记叙文。文章介绍了一本书中的故事，讲述了Meg Medina与她深爱的保姆Miuut之间的故事。 1．词句猜测题。根据后文“as well-Medina says you could look at the things on her coffee table, but you definitely couldn’t touch them.(Medina说，你可以看她咖啡桌上的东西，但绝对不能碰它们)”可知，Miuut总是只让Medina看咖啡桌上的东西，但绝对不能碰它们，所以Medina应是觉得她有点让人讨厌，所以a pain in the neck应是“让人讨厌”之意，和A项意思相近。故选A项。 2．推理判断题。根据第二段“Brittany Cicchese, the illustrator of the book, painted this moment with her soft style — Medina sat under the table and curled up with a blanket, whispering sadly to her dog, “No more Mimi”.”(这本书的插画家Brittany Cicchese用她柔和的风格描绘了这一刻——Medina坐在桌子底下，用毯子蜷缩起来，悲伤地对她的狗说：“不再有Mimi了。”)”可知，Medina对Mimi的离去，充满不舍，所以Medina深深地爱着Mimi。故选A项。 3．推理判断题。根据第一段“She was a wonderful babysitter but kind of a pain in the neck, as well-Medina says you could look at the things on her coffee table, but you definitely couldn’t touch them. “She felt this was a very important skill,” she says. “We used to stand at that table and she'd have us practice, like putting our hands behind our back, and you could lean (倾斜) forward and look at all the pretty things.”(她是个很棒的保姆，但也有点让人讨厌。Medina说，你可以看她咖啡桌上的东西，但绝对不能碰它们。“她觉得这是一项非常重要的技能，”她说。“我们过去常常站在那张桌子旁，她会让我们练习，比如把我们的手放在背后，你可以向前倾，看着所有漂亮的东西。”)”可知，Miuut为锻炼Medina技能是严格的，根据第三段“Luckily, Mimi went exactly nowhere. She became friends with Medina’s grandmother, and they’d often drink coffee together. “She loved us,” says Medina. Mimi stayed a part of her life forever. “I hold a space for her in my heart,” she says.(幸运的是，Mimi哪儿也没去。她和Medina的祖母成了朋友，她们经常一起喝咖啡。“她爱我们，”Medina说。Mimi永远是她生活的一部分。“我在心里为她留了一个位置，”她说)”可知，Miuut关心Medina。故选D项。 4．推理判断题。根据最后一段““It feels good to know that there’s this story for kids right now, but that there’s a piece of this story that’s also about remembering these wonderful women who helped raise us,” says Medina. “It feels like we’re paying them honor. You know, we’re just honoring their memory.”(Medina说：“知道现在有孩子们的故事感觉很好，但这个故事的一部分也是关于记住这些帮助培养我们的优秀女性的。”“感觉就像我们在向他们致敬。你知道，我们只是在纪念他们。”)”可推知，作者写这篇文章的目的是为孩子们提供人生建议，建议他们记住帮助培养他们的优秀女性。故选C项。 （24-25高三上·山东泰安·期末）As a Chinese-German student at Tsinghua University, I thought I had a good grasp of both Chinese culture and modernization. As one of the destinations of the “Go Jiangsu” program, we visited the Yao Jiaping Embroidery Art Gallery. Before this encounter, my interaction with Suzhou embroidery (刺绣) was limited to online images, which is why, at the art gallery, I was amazed at the unbelievable precision that I had assumed was machine-made. Seeking a hands-on experience, I realized those weaving stories with threads are a millennia-old cultural heritage. It struck me that this isn’t just handicraft; it’s an art form and a slice of history. Wandering through Suzhou at night was a different kind of magic. The streetlights, busy markets, and street food transported me to another dimension. Walking down the Pingjiang Road, where ancient buildings meet modern lighting, I felt the unique charm of Suzhou. It dawned on me that modernization doesn’t have to mean abandoning tradition; they can exist side by side. Exploring Suzhou Industrial Park, I witnessed another facet(方面)of China’s modernization. These towering buildings and cutting-edge companies showcased the rapid pace of China’s modern development.The transition from ancient culture to modern technology was nothing short of astonishing. Visiting the Suzhou Museum of Imperial Kiln Brick rounded out my journey, offering a comprehensive view of China’s history. Each exhibit narrated a story, spanning from ancient artifacts to modern achievements, enriching my understanding of China’s developmental process. Suzhou absolutely lives up to its reputation as “the city of museums, the city of parks, and the city of theater”. Through personal encounters, I gained not just knowledge but a deeper connection and appreciation for China’s culture and progress. This journey wasn’t just a physical one; it was an enriching experience for the soul. 1．Which word can best describe the writer’s trip to Suzhou? A．Costly. B．Extraordinary. C．Romantic. D．Accidental. 2．What does the writer think of Suzhou embroidery? A．It is the best handicraft. B．It is really made by machine. C．It partly mirrors China’s history. D．It was invented by Yao Jianping. 3．Why is the Pingjiang Road mentioned in Paragraph 4? A．To advocate preserving the tradition. B．To highlight the local rapid development. C．To emphasize the importance of modernization. D．To praise the integration of tradition and modernity. 4．What does the writer imply in the last paragraph? A．The trip is well worth it. B．Culture contradicts with progress. C．Suzhou is a good destination for children. D．“Go Jiangsu” program must attain popularity. 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．D 4．A 【导语】这是一篇游记，作者作为一名中德学生，记录了其在江苏苏州的一次旅行经历，从中了解到苏州的传统文化与现代化发展。 1．推理判断题。根据第二段“I was amazed at the unbelievable precision that I had assumed was machine-made. (我对这种难以置信的精确度感到惊讶，我以为这是机器制造。)”根据第三段“It struck me that this isn’t just handicraft; it’s an art form and a slice of history. (我突然意识到这不仅仅是手工艺；它是一种艺术形式，也是一段历史。)”根据第四段“Wandering through Suzhou at night was a different kind of magic. (夜晚在苏州漫步是另一种神奇的感觉。)”根据第六段“Each exhibit narrated a story, spanning from ancient artifacts to modern achievements, enriching my understanding of China’s developmental process. (每件展品都讲述了一个故事，从古代文物到现代成就，丰富了我对中国发展过程的理解。)”可知，作者去苏州的旅行是“非凡的，令人惊奇的”。故选B。 2．推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Seeking a hands-on experience, I realized those weaving stories with threads are a millennia-old cultural heritage. It struck me that this isn’t just handicraft; it’s an art form and a slice of history. (为了亲身体验，我意识到这些用线编织故事的是一种已有千年历史的文化遗产。它让我意识到这不只是手工艺；这是艺术形式和一段历史。)”可推知，作者认为苏绣部分反映了中国的历史。故选C项。 3．推理判断题。根据文章第四段“Walking down the Pingjiang Road, where ancient buildings meet modern lighting, I felt the unique charm of Suzhou. It dawned on me that modernization doesn’t have to mean abandoning tradition; they can exist side by side. (在平江路上漫步，古老的建筑与现代的灯光相遇，我感受到了苏州的独特魅力。我突然意识到，现代化并不意味着放弃传统；它们可以并存。)”可知，提到平江路是为了表扬传统和现代的融合。故选D项。 4．推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Through personal encounters, I gained not just knowledge but a deeper connection and appreciation for China’s culture and progress.

Raised by immigrant parents who often mispronounced words, I was afraid my voice would expose my inadequacies(不足), considering my inability to adopt a so-called “authentic American” accent as a flaw tied to my Asian identity. I quickly fell into the label of most Asian girls, but it was not because of my shyness or liking being quiet. All the beloved female characters on the Disney and Nickelodeon TV shows and all the popular girls at my school made me more silent and invisible. As I grew older, my silence became a habit. I would stay in spaces like a shadow, present but inactive. My mom grew frustrated and confused as to why I was so silent as a shell everywhere. To cope with the spiritual crisis, I took to writing, where I could think through my ideas without the pressure of pronunciation. Writing opened my eyes to the many thoughts and emotions I had been silencing. I began to observe the way my mom spoke, too. She was very vocal, whether it was chatting with her friends or it was defending herself as an ethnic minority. She always stood up for what she believed in—mispronunciations and all. Through writing and observing my mom, I realized that I had been shutting myself down before anyone else could judge me, robbing myself of the chance to be heard. I began to speak up and tell others about my background, though I have only been there several times. In sharing so many of my stories, I began to connect with those who could relate and shine a light on the beauties of living in my own culture. Now, I proudly embrace my voice without considering mispronunciation. By celebrating my ethnic heritage through shared stories, I am taking a step further towards embracing my identity, proving that my voice, filled with richness and authenticity, deserves to be heard. 1．What made the author afraid to use her voice? A．She had to compete with others. B．She was unable to master English. C．She was born too shy to express herself. D．She spoke a different accent from others. 2．What did those popular girls bring to the author? A．Guilt. B．Sympathy. C．Stress. D．Belonging. 3．How can the author’s writing and observing her mom be defined? A．A shortcut to learning English. B．A process of her self-awareness. C．A step towards better writing skills. D．An exploration of cultural differences. 4．What did the author express when concluding her story? A．Satisfaction with her family. B．Acceptance of her identity. C．Evaluation on Asian immigrants. D．Appreciation of the foreign culture. 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．B 4．B 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者害怕使用自己的声音，这是因为作者怕暴露出自己的亚洲身份，随后作者变得沉默寡言，为了应对自己的精神危机，作者开始写作，并观察妈妈的说话方式，慢慢地作者接受了自己的身份。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段中“Raised by immigrant parents who often mispronounced words, I was afraid my voice would expose my inadequacies(不足), considering my inability to adopt a so-called “authentic American” accent as a flaw tied to my Asian identity.(我父母是移民，他们经常把单词念错，我害怕自己的声音会暴露出我的不足，认为自己无法接纳所谓“纯的美国”口音是与我的亚洲身份相关的缺陷。)”可知，作者说话的口音与别人的口音不同，这让作者害怕使用她的声音。故选D。 2．推理判断题。根据第二段中“All the beloved female characters on the Disney and Nickelodeon TV shows and all the popular girls at my school made me more silent and invisible.(迪士尼和尼克电视节目中的所有心爱的女性角色以及我学校的所有受欢迎的女孩都使我更加沉默和隐形。)”可知，那些受欢迎的女孩使作者更加沉默和隐形，由此可推知，她们带给作者压力。故选C。 3．推理判断题。根据第三段“To cope with the spiritual crisis, I took to writing, where I could think through my ideas without the pressure of pronunciation. Writing opened my eyes to the many thoughts and emotions I had been silencing. I began to observe the way my mom spoke, too. She was very vocal, whether it was chatting with her friends or it was defending herself as an ethnic minority. She always stood up for what she believed in—mispronunciations and all.(为了应对精神危机，我开始写作，在这里我可以不受发音压力的影响来思考我的想法。写作让我看到了我一直在压抑的许多思想情感。我也开始观察我妈妈的说话方式。她非常健谈，无论是和朋友聊天还是作为少数民族为自己辩护。她总是为她所相信的身而出——即使有发音错误。)”可知，作者通过写作和观察她的妈妈使自己看到了自己压抑的情感，由此可推知，这是她自我意识的过程。故选B。 4．细节理解题。根据最后一段“Now, I proudly embrace my voice without considering mispronunciation. By celebrating my ethnic heritage through shared stories, I am taking a step further towards embracing my identity, proving that my voice, filled with richness and authenticity, deserves to be heard.(现在，我自豪地接受我的声音，而不考虑发音错误。通过分享的故事庆祝我的种族遗产，我正在进一步接受我的身份，证明我的声音充满了丰富性和真实性，值得被听到。)”可知，作者在总结自己的故事时，表达了她已经接受了她的身份。故选B。 （24-25高三下·山东德州·开学考试）When I was young, my dreams were simple. I wanted a dog, a house with stairs, and a four-door station wagon. I used to say I wanted to be a pediatrician (儿科医生) — not because I truly understood what it meant, but because it sounded impressive to adults. I was ambitious, though I didn’t know exactly where I was headed. Looking back now, I find it odd that adults ask children, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” It seems as if growing up is finite and at some point you become something and that’s the end. My life has taken many forms. I’ve been a lawyer, a hospital executive, and a charity initiator helping young people. I’ve been a wife, a painful daughter, and a mother learning as I go. And, for eight years, I was the leader of an international nonprofit organization — a role that brought unique challenges and opportunities, humbling and empowering me in equal measure. The experience of working for the UN allowed me to see the world in its extremes. I visited state-of-the-art offices and met small-business owners who had lost everything in economic downturns, grateful for a steady income. I encountered dishonesty and shallowness but also met incredible innovators, dedicated employees, and young entrepreneurs (企业家) whose passion and optimism reminded me of what truly matters. I learned to manage public opinion, whether it was criticism of my business decisions or rumors (传闻) about my management style. Through it all, I focused on staying true to myself, grounded by the values my mentors (导师) taught me: work hard, think strategically, and honor your journey. Now, I’m beginning a new chapter. My family recently moved into a modern apartment not far from our office, decorated with items that remind us of our achievements. As I sat on the balcony, watching my children play, I realized that my children are growing into independent individuals. My family is finding their rhythm in a new adventure. And I’m here, enjoying these small, quiet moments and thinking about the stories I still want to tell. 1．Why did the author want to be a pediatrician as a child? A．She was always there to assist. B．She had a passion for medicine. C．It meant more responsibilities. D．It would make adults admire her. 2．What does the author imply in paragraph 2? A．Childhood dreams are rarely fulfilled. B．People should have lifelong ambitions. C．Life involves constant change and growth. D．Adults are unsure about their own future. 3．What belief did working for the UN give the author? A．Avoid public opinion at all costs. B．Seek external recognition for success. C．Consider gaining wealth and social status. D．Stay true to herself against challenges. 4．What mood does the author mainly convey in the last paragraph? A．Ambitious. B．Reflective. C．Anxious. D．Stressed. 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．D 4．B 【导语】这是一篇记叙文，作者讲述了自己的多种职业体验以及获得的成长。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段中“I used to say I wanted to be a pediatrician (儿科医生) — not because I truly understood what it meant, but because it sounded impressive to adults.(我曾经说过我想成为一名儿科医生——不是因为我真正理解它的含义，而是因为它对成年人来说听起来令人印象深刻)”可知，作者儿时想成为儿科医生是因为那会让大人赞赏他，故选D。 2．推理判断题。根据第二段中“My life has taken many forms. I’ve been a lawyer, a hospital executive, and a charity initiator helping young people. I’ve been a wife, a painful daughter, and a mother learning as I go. And, for eight years, I was the leader of an international nonprofit organization — a role that brought unique challenges and opportunities, humbling and empowering me in equal measure.(我的生活有多种形式。我做过律师、医院主管，还做过帮助年轻人的慈善发起人。我做过妻子，做过痛苦的女儿，做过不断学习的母亲。8年来，我一直是一家国际非营利组织的领导人，这个角色给我带来了独特的挑战和机遇，让我感到谦卑，同时也赋予了我力量)”可知，作者做过很多职业和角色，也从中获得了成长，故作者暗示了生活包含不断的变化和成长，故选C。 3．细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句“Through it all, I focused on staying true to myself, grounded by the values my mentors (导师) taught me: work hard, think strategically, and honor your journey.(在整个过程中，我专注于做真实的自己，以我的导师教给我的价值观为基础：努力工作，战略性思考，尊重你的旅程)”可知，在联合国工作教给作者的信念是面对挑战要忠于自己，故选D。 4．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“As I sat on the balcony, watching my children play, I realized that my children are growing into independent individuals. My family is finding their rhythm in a new adventure. And I’m here, enjoying these small, quiet moments and thinking about the stories I still want to tell.(当我坐在阳台上，看着我的孩子们玩耍时，我意识到我的孩子们正在成长为独立的个体。我的家人在新的冒险中找到了自己的节奏。我在这里，享受着这些安静的小时光，想着我还想讲的故事)”可知，作者在最后一段主要表达了反思的情绪，故选B。 （24-25高三上·山东青岛·期末）A whale shark under the waves caught in a ray of sunlight, a snow leopard (豹) moving forward with its eyes locked on yours–these images could easily be mistaken for photographs, but in fact they were captured by a paintbrush. British artist Sophie Green often creates paintings of endangered animal species. With a following of over 115, 000 on a social platform, she’s not doing so badly. Last year, one of Green’s works was auctioned (拍卖) at the Royal Geographical Society in London. It was a painting of a chimp (黑猩猩), called Wounda, which had been rescued from a illegal trade by the Jane Goodall Institute in the Republic of Congo. When Wounda arrived at the institute, she was in desperate need of medical attention, but since receiving treatment, she has made a full recovery and now lives in an island reserve. Profits from all Green’s artworks goes towards funding a range of projects, from shark and turtle research to conservation for African land mammals. As a child, Green was diagnosed (诊断) with selective-mutism — a form of anxiety, meaning she wouldn’t speak in class or to her teachers. Consequently, she bathed herself in nature. Green believed painting can be more effective than photography, because it affords more control over the composition. “If you want the animal to be looking directly into your eyes, then you can do that,” she said. Green’s process differs from piece to piece. She often finds images for inspiration everywhere, sometimes using photographs captured by herself or her friends, and sometimes surfing the Internet to find images of the creature she wants to paint. Often, the final piece comes from a combination of several images. Her goal is to encourage action from people who view the artwork. “If you’ve looked into the animal’s eyes, I think it’s much harder to forget that there’s so much going on in the world right now and so many animals that need our help,” Green said. 1．What does the author start the text with? A．Photographs of animals. B．Excellence of Green’s works. C．Limitations of Green’s works. D．Impacts of animal-focused paintings. 2．Why is Green’s painting about a rescued chimp mentioned? A．To stress her environmental awareness. B．To display the main theme of her works. C．To encourage people to support the auction. D．To show her contribution to protecting animals. 3．What do we know about Green’s art-making process? A．She often turns to others for help. B．She mainly relies on online information. C．She observes real animals to get inspiration. D．She combines different images into her work. 4．What does Green mean in the last paragraph? A．Criticizing people for ignoring the endangered animals. B．Emphasizing the importance of eye contact with animals. C．Highlighting the emotional impact of the work on viewers. D．Showing her paintings are more realistic than photographs. 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．D 4．C 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。英国艺术家Sophie Green擅长绘制濒危动物画作，其逼真的艺术风格吸引超过11.5万社交媒体粉丝。她通过拍卖作品为动物保护筹集资金，旨在唤起公众对濒危物种的关注与行动。 1．细节理解题。根据文章第一段“A whale shark under the waves caught in a ray of sunlight, a snow leopard (豹) moving forward with its eyes locked on yours–these images could easily be mistaken for photographs, but in fact they were captured by a paintbrush. (一条鲸鲨在海浪下被阳光捕捉到，一只雪豹正向前移动，眼睛紧盯着你——这些图像很容易被误认为是照片，但事实上它们是用画笔拍摄的。)”可知，作者开篇描述了阳光照射下海浪中的鲸鲨、眼神锁定你的雪豹等画面，这些画面极易被误认为是照片，但实际上是由画笔绘制的，通过这些描述展现了Sophie Green作品的精湛，让人误以为是照片。故选B。 2．推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Last year, one of Green’s works was auctioned (拍卖) at the Royal Geographical Society in London. It was a painting of a chimp (黑猩猩), called Wounda, which had been rescued from a illegal trade by the Jane Goodall Institute in the Republic of Congo. (去年，Green的一件作品在伦敦皇家地理学会拍卖。这是一幅名为Wounda的黑猩猩的画，它是由刚果共和国的珍·古道尔研究所从非法贸易中救出的。)”和第四段“Profits from all Green’s artworks goes towards funding a range of projects, from shark and turtle research to conservation for African land mammals. (Green所有艺术品的利润都用于资助一系列项目，从鲨鱼和海龟研究到非洲陆地哺乳动物的保护。)”可知，Green画的这只获救的黑猩猩作品被拍卖，且她所有作品的收益都用于资助一系列保护动物的项目，所以提到这幅画是为了展示她对保护动物所做出的贡献。故选D。 3．细节理解题。根据文章第六段“Green’s process differs from piece to piece. She often finds images for inspiration everywhere, sometimes using photographs captured by herself or her friends, and sometimes surfing the Internet to find images of the creature she wants to paint. Often, the final piece comes from a combination of several images. (Green的工艺各不相同。她经常在任何地方找到灵感的图像，有时使用自己或朋友拍摄的照片，有时上网寻找她想画的生物的图像。通常，最终的作品来自几幅图像的组合。)”可知，Green的创作过程因作品而异，她会将不同的图像融入到她的作品中。故选D。 4．推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Her goal is to encourage action from people who view the artwork. “If you’ve looked into the animal’s eyes, I think it’s much harder to forget that there’s so much going on in the world right now and so many animals that need our help,” Green said. (她的目标是鼓励观看艺术品的人采取行动。Green说：“如果你看着动物的眼睛，我认为很难忘记现在世界上发生了很多事情，有很多动物需要我们的帮助。”。)”可知，通过观看动物的眼睛，观众可以感受到作品背后的情感，并意识到世界上的动物需要帮助，这强调了她的作品对观众的情感影响，让观众更能感受到保护动物的紧迫性，从而采取行动。故选C。 （24-25高三上·山东枣庄·期末）The pond is silent — until the first cry: “Found something!” A swimmer ducks into the water. She emerges, fist first, clutching a pair of bright blue children’s swimming goggles. She shakes them overhead, as if she has won a prize. Over the next hour, on a cloudy Saturday morning in July, the team of 15 — all over age 65, all women — hunts for trash across Mares Pond, a 28-acre kettle hole on Cape Cod, at depths of up to 8 feet. These are the Old Ladies Against Underwater Garbage (OLAUG). Since 2017, the group, which accepts only older women as members, has made it its mission to remove trash from ponds across Cape Cod. The group’s existence is owed to Susan Baur, a retired psychologist. As a lifelong nature fan, she had begun swimming in ponds on the cape as a safer alternative to the ocean. However, between mud, darkness and snapping turtles, the world of the pond was at first one of anxiety for her. In 2017, on a whim, she rounded up two friends and a stranger with a kayak and together, they cleared a large amount of litter from a pond. Soon others joined them, and, like Baur, they found a sense of wonder in the pond cleanups. While many outsiders have expressed their gratitude to OLAUG for cleaning up the ponds, some have questioned why they refer to themselves as “old ladies”. Others have said she should open the group to all ages, and to men. Although she admits that it wasn’t initially a thoughtful choice, she now believes that the “old lady” identity is a crucial part of what the group is about. “Over 65, if you’re healthy enough to do what we’re doing, it is the age of gratitude,” Baur says. “You are so grateful that you can still do this.” 1．Why was the group OLAUG founded? A．To promote an active way of life. B．To rescue children from the ponds. C．To clean up garbage in the ponds. D．To advocate swimming to keep fit. 2．What do we know about Susan Baur from the text? A．She longs for a quiet retired life. B．She cares about old ladies' life. C．She is keen on physical training. D．She is a nature-loving woman. 3．What is some people’s suggestion to the group? A．To be more inclusive. B．To broaden its business. C．To rename the group. D．To be more independent. 4．Why does Baur particularly care about their “old lady” identity? A．It helps to promote their image. B．It helps boost their sense of pride. C．It benefits their physical health. D．It helps them win more respect. 【答案】1．C 2．D 3．A 4．B 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了老妇人团队在水塘中清理垃圾，提升了环保意识与自豪感。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段“Since 2017, the group, which accepts only older women as members, has made it its mission to remove trash from ponds across Cape Cod.(自2017年以来，该组织只接受老年女性作为成员，其使命是清除科德角池塘中的垃圾)”可知，这个团队被建立，是为了清理池塘中的垃圾。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据第三段“The group’s existence is owed to Susan Baur, a retired psychologist. As a lifelong nature fan, she had begun swimming in ponds on the cape as a safer alternative to the ocean.(该组织的存在归功于退休心理学家苏珊·鲍尔。作为一名终身的自然爱好者，她开始在海角的池塘里游泳，作为海洋的一种更安全的替代品)”可知，苏珊·鲍尔是一位热爱大自然的女性。故选D。 3．细节理解题。根据第五段“While many outsiders have expressed their gratitude to OLAUG for cleaning up the ponds, some have questioned why they refer to themselves as “old ladies”. Others have said she should open the group to all ages, and to men.(虽然许多局外人对OLAUG清理池塘表示感谢，但一些人质疑她们为什么称自己为“老妇人”。其他人则表示，她应该向所有年龄段和男性开放这个团体)”可知，一些人建议向所有年龄段和男性开放这个团体，即组建一个更具包容性的团队。故选A。 4．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Although she admits that it wasn’t initially a thoughtful choice, she now believes that the “old lady” identity is a crucial part of what the group is about. “Over 65, if you’re healthy enough to do what we’re doing, it is the age of gratitude,” Baur says. “You are so grateful that you can still do this.”(尽管她承认这最初不是一个深思熟虑的选择，但她现在认为“老妇人”的身份是这个团体的重要组成部分。鲍尔说：“65岁以上，如果你足够健康，可以做我们正在做的事情，那就是感恩的年龄”，“你很感激你还能做到这一点。”)”可知，鲍尔认为“老妇人”的身份增强了她们的自豪感和团队自我定位。故选B。 （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. 1．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. 2．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. 3．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. 4．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】1．A 2．C 3．D 4．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。 1．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。 2．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。 3．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。 4．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。 （24-25高三上·山东临沂·期末）Peter Kline is the founder of Marathons with Meaning, a program dedicated to making running more accessible for people with disabilities. Kline didn’t begin running until later in life. “I was overweight,52, and I’d never done it,” he says. He tried a 10K and loved it so much that he was hooked. But it wasn’t without a lot of training and a lot of pain: “I tried a marathon, and I did horrible. It was the most miserable, painful experience I ever had. It took me three years to qualify for Boston Marathon.” Eight years later, the idea for Marathons with Meaning was sparked when Kline met a young woman whose spinal column (脊柱) was crushed after an accident. He saw how hard it was for her to manage the world with this disability. At that time, Kline was getting tired of being a stand-alone athlete. “Running is very much an individualistic sport,” he says. “So, I thought,’ Why don’t I try to include somebody else and take them along? “He contacted a children’s hospital and the Make-a-Wish Foundation, and soon he was including rider-athletes in his marathons. And the rest is history. Kline has now been running with rider-athletes for 12 years in marathons all over the world. “The kids love it, and it changes their lives. It changes their parents’ lives, and it changes the other runners. Everybody is empowered by it,” he says. Some rider-athletes are very sick, some are nonverbal, and some are physically disabled but very sharp mentally. For example, one young woman rider-athlete can’t use her arms or legs but she has a Ph.D．in marine biology and speaks three languages. “I never judge the disability or the person’s ability,” Kline says. “They’re amazing, and they inspire us.” What advice would Kline give others? Reach out. Don’t look the other way when you see someone not as well off. If you don’t know how to love unconditionally, then you’ll never understand love. 1．What is the main focus of Marathons with Meaning? A．Training runners for marathons. B．Organizing global marathon events. C．Boosting individual athletic success. D．Making running available to the disabled. 2．What inspired Peter Kline to start Marathons with Meaning? A．His own love for running. B．The encounter with a young disabled woman. C．His desire to get connected. D．The advice from the Make-a-Wish Foundation. 3．How does Marathons with Meaning influence the rider-athletes? A．It enhances their inner power. B．It fuels their competitive spirit. C．It teaches them to value abilities. D．It makes them more sharp-minded. 4．What is the key message of Kline’s advice? A．Treat everyone equally. B．Aim higher to inspire others.

Disappointed that standard equipment just didn’t add up, Jessica’s mum, Sam, emailed stationery (文具) giant Maped Helix, more in hope than expectation that they might have something that could help. She was so surprised when she got a reply saying that the team at Helix, inspired by Jessica’s story, had decided to develop a unique stationery set specifically to support the needs of children with sight difficulties. The groundbreaking Oxford Vision Maths Set includes a self-centering metal compass with safety point, a pencil sharpener, 15 cm/6-inch ruler, 45° and 60° set squares, etc. Designed in cooperation with the Royal National Institute of Blind People (RNIB), the maths set has been created using a high contrasting black and yellow design to make each item easier to read. The complete set is sold in plastic-free packaging made from recycled materials. Following guidance from the experts, clever details such as large print graduations (刻度线) on the ruler, as well as all the text being raised by 0.5 mm have been included. “We receive a lot of emails, but this particular one really struck a chord with us, making us really think of how we can have a commitment to empower all children,” said Gray Richmond, Managing Director at Maped Helix. “This product will make a huge difference to the lives of children with vision conditions, allowing them to have independence in the classroom and giving them access to the same opportunities as their sighted classmates,” said Nicola Cornwell, Head of Business Services at RNIB． 1．What difficulty does Jessica face at school?

At 15, I was anxiously awaiting the possibility to speak to my biggest role model, J. Michael Bishop, MD．I’d learnt from other students who had previously participated in the International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF) that the Nobel laureate walks around from poster to poster to speak with students during the Public Showcase Day. J. Michael Bishop, MD, who was the winner of the 1989 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, talked about his childhood and how he had hardly been exposed to science. Throughout his college education, he never imagined himself becoming a scientist. He had even been denied entry into countless labs due to a lack of prior experience. He had an ambition to become a scientist, but lacked the guidance to visualize his future career. Over time, he developed relationships with instructors who believed in him. More importantly, he learned how to believe in himself. I found inspiration in Dr. Bishop’s goal of becoming a scientist and his willingness to be open and vulnerable — he often gave talks about his own self-doubt. Dr. Bishop is a role model for anyone who, like me, comes from an unconventional background, inspiring us to persevere and work through self-doubt to pursue a career in science. When Dr. Bishop was just inches away from the posters nearest to mine, I ran up to my role model and asked him to come to my poster even if I wasn’t on his list. He was kind enough to spend at least an hour with me, discussing my research and ultimate goal to pursue a PhD． Seven years after meeting Dr. Bishop, I had the privilege of pursuing a PhD in cancer biology, and my path continues to mirror his. I am devoting my graduate and scientific career to instructing students from underrepresented backgrounds through teaching, guiding them through their own research projects, and openly sharing my own story, just as Dr. Bishop does. 1．Why did the author stand by her research poster so long? A．To perfect her research poster. B．To conduct her scientific research. C．To participate in the event of ISEF. D．To seek chance to talk to Dr. Bishop. 2．What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A．Dr. Bishop’s plan for his future career. B．Dr. Bishop’s early exposure to science. C．Dr. Bishop’s experience in experiments. D．Dr. Bishop’s hard path to turning scientist. 3．Why did the author consider Dr. Bishop her role model? A．He overcame self-doubt to achieve his goal. B．He was willing to talk about his vulnerability. C．He worked hard and had strong self-discipline. D．He was a success with a conventional background. 4．What can we infer from the last paragraph? A．The author feels proud of her extraordinary students. B．The author follows Dr. Bishop's example to help her students. C．Teachers sharing their own story impress their students deeply. D．Dr. Bishop has a great impact on the author's research methods. 【答案】1．D 2．D 3．A 4．B 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。本文主要讲述了作者从他的榜样 —— 诺贝尔奖得主 J. Michael Bishop 医学博士的克服困难追求科学事业的故事中找到了灵感。七年后，作者始终以 Dr. Bishop 为榜样来帮助自己的学生。 1．细节理解题。根据文章第一段“At 15, I was anxiously awaiting the possibility to speak to my biggest role model, J. Michael Bishop, MD.(十五岁时，我焦急地等待着有机会和我最大的偶像J. Michael Bishop博士交谈)”可知，作者站在展板边上是为了等机会与Bishop博士交谈。故选D。 2．主旨大意题。根据文章第二段“J. Michael Bishop, MD, who was the winner of the 1989 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, talked about his childhood and how he had hardly been exposed to science. Throughout his college education, he never imagined himself becoming a scientist. He had even been denied entry into countless labs due to a lack of prior experience. He had an ambition to become a scientist, but lacked the guidance to visualize his future career. Over time, he developed relationships with instructors who believed in him. More importantly, he learned how to believe in himself.(J. Michael Bishop是1989年诺贝尔生理学或医学奖的获得者，他谈到了他的童年，以及他几乎没有接触过科学。在大学期间，他从未想过自己会成为一名科学家。由于缺乏经验，他甚至被无数实验室拒绝进入。他有成为一名科学家的雄心，但缺乏对他未来事业的设想的指导。随着时间的推移，他与信任他的指导员建立了关系。更重要的是，他学会了如何相信自己。）可知，这一段主要介绍了Bishop博士成为科学家的艰辛之路。故选D。 3．细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Dr. Bishop is a role model for anyone who, like me, comes from an unconventional background, inspiring us to persevere and work through self-doubt to pursue a career in science.(Dr. Bishop是所有像我一样来自非常规背景的人的榜样，他激励我们坚持不懈，克服自我怀疑，追求科学事业。）可知，作者认为Bishop博士是她的榜样是因为他克服了自我怀疑实现了他的目标。故选A。 4．推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“I am devoting my graduate and scientific career to instructing students from underrepresented backgrounds through teaching, guiding them through their own research projects, and openly sharing my own story, just as Dr. Bishop does.(我把我的研究生生涯和科研生涯都奉献给了通过教学来指导那些来自弱势背景的学生，指导他们完成自己的研究项目，并公开分享自己的故事，就像Bishop博士所做的那样)”可推知，作者效仿Bishop博士去帮助她的学生。故选B。 （24-25高三上·山东滨州·期末） “Thank you for your email. I have left to pursue my dream of crocheting sweaters for penguins in Antarctica and no longer work for the School of Economics. I will be out of office on a permanent, indefinite, open-ended basis until my penguin friends are happy.” A Chinese student studying in the UK said her tutor, who quit education to knit sweaters for penguins in Antarctica, has been generating buzz online. The charitable act of knitting sweaters for penguins is, in fact, a real initiative. A major oil spill occurred in the waters off the Phillip Island in Australia in the late 1990s, severely affecting local penguins who saw their population shrink over two breeding seasons. When little penguins become oiled, they will try to preen and clean the toxic oil from their feathers, and swallowing it can kill them. It also damages their delicate feathers, which exposes their skin to extreme temperatures and they are left cold, heavy and unable to swim or hunt for food. In response, the Penguin Foundation and Phillip Island Nature Parks launched a public welfare campaign, calling on enthusiasts worldwide to knit sweaters for the freezing penguins during the process of rehabilitation. In 2001, another major oil spill occurred in the waters near Phillip Island, with a total of 438 penguin’s. affected. 96%were successfully rescued and released back into the wild with the help of the Penguin Foundation and these sweaters. However, some people argue that the sweaters could potentially add extra weight to the penguins’ bodies, or cause them to overheat. The Penguin Foundation explained that the sweaters are used temporarily to keep penguins warm before their bodies are washed and feathers recover. Sweaters for penguins must be crafted from wool and follow specific knitting guidelines. Numerous sweaters that have failed to meet the standards have been repurposed for toy penguins. By selling toy penguins wearing these sweaters, the Penguin Foundation raises fund for the wildlife on Phillip Island. 1．What is the direct impact of the oil spill on penguins? A．They are unable to prey. B．Their feathers are spoiled. C．They are left to extreme cold. D．They have trouble in swallowing. 2．Why are the numbers listed in Paragraph 5? A．To show the severity of the oil spill. B．To illustrate the achievement of the campaign. C．To explain the serious conditions of the penguins. D．To add some background information of the oil spill 3．What can we learn about the sweaters from the last paragraph? A．Many of them go to waste. B．They are highly impractical. C．Their production is demanding. D．They solved the problems for good. 4．What’s the main idea of the passage? A．An initiative generates buzz on the Internet. B．A major oil spill took place on Phillip Island. C．A tutor quits to knit sweaters for penguins in Antarctica. D．The Penguin Foundation asked for more penguin sweaters. 【答案】1．B 2．B 3．C 4．C 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了一位导师为了帮助被石油泄漏伤害的企鹅，辞职去为企鹅织毛衣。 1．细节理解题。根据第三段“When little penguins become oiled, they will try to preen and clean the toxic oil from their feathers, and swallowing it can kill them. It also damages their delicate feathers, which exposes their skin to extreme temperatures and they are left cold, heavy and unable to swim or hunt for food.(当小企鹅被石油污染时，它们会试图梳理羽毛，清理羽毛上的有毒石油，吞咽有毒石油可能会杀死它们。它还会损害它们脆弱的羽毛，使它们的皮肤暴露在极端温度下，它们会变得又冷又重，无法游泳或觅食)”可知，石油泄漏对企鹅的直接影响是导致它们的羽毛被破坏了。故选B。 2．推理判断题。根据第五段“In 2001, another major oil spill occurred in the waters near Phillip Island, with a total of 438 penguin’s. affected. 96%were successfully rescued and released back into the wild with the help of the Penguin Foundation and these sweaters.(2001年，菲利普岛附近海域发生了另一起重大石油泄漏事件，共有438只企鹅遇难。受到影响。在企鹅基金会和这些毛衣的帮助下，96%的企鹅成功获救并被放归野外)”可知，第5段列出了这些数字是为了说明运动的成就。故选B。 3．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Sweaters for penguins must be crafted from wool and follow specific knitting guidelines. Numerous sweaters that have failed to meet the standards have been repurposed for toy penguins. By selling toy penguins wearing these sweaters, the Penguin Foundation raises fund for the wildlife on Phillip Island.(企鹅的毛衣必须用羊毛制作，并遵循特定的编织指南。许多不符合标准的毛衣被用来制作玩具企鹅。通过出售穿着这些毛衣的玩具企鹅，企鹅基金会为菲利普岛的野生动物筹集了资金)”可知，这种毛衣的生产要求很高。故选C。 4．主旨大意题。根据第二段“A Chinese student studying in the UK said her tutor, who quit education to knit sweaters for penguins in Antarctica, has been generating buzz online.

They’ve consulted different professionals, heard advice that didn’t work, or been told that their dog should be put down. That’s when they come to me who can whisper to their dogs.” Millan’s focus, however, isn’t just on the dogs — it’s on their owners. “I correct dogs. I train humans,” he often says. Many of the dogs he encounters are chosen for the wrong reasons or suffer from confused signals from their owners. Some dogs struggle to find their place when their humans fail to establish themselves as strong pack leaders. Others fight endlessly with pets they can’t stand. As Millan calmly addresses their behavior, the owners — seated like their dogs, receiving gentle blame — often look as sad as the animals themselves. By the end of a session, the dogs appear calmer, but their owners are left reflecting on their next steps, nervously aware of the challenges ahead. Millan explains that dogs don’t consider him as a trainer but as someone who connects with them through energy. “They only sense that I am there for them,” he says. “What matters is the energy, not the breed (品种), name, or age of the dog.” Millan’s life now is a far cry from the dusty farm where he grew up, learning about dogs from his grandfather. Despite the farm’s humble conditions — no running water and only four rooms — it felt like paradise (天堂) to him. His grandfather, a master of handling dogs for cattle and sheep round-ups, understood the importance of maintaining “pack leader” status to ensure the dogs’ obedience. That belief, whether among dogs or between owners and pets, remains the heart of Millan’s philosophy. “Every creation, every relationship, must function as a pack,” Millan explains. “Leadership is shared. I’m a good leader with my dogs and with people, but I’m also a good follower.” 1．Why is Millan a last hope for many dog owners? A．He is a man of wisdom. B．He can put the dogs down. C．He can offer better solutions. D．He never blames dog owners. 2．What do the underlined words “That belief” in paragraph 4 refer to? A．Dog discipline. B．Pack leadership. C．Human-animal bond. D．Human energy in training. 3．What contributes to Millan’s career most? A．His gentle temper. B．His early education. C．His farm experiences. D．His miserable childhood. 4．Which of the following might be the best title for the text? A．The Pack Leader B．The Dog Whisperer C．The Art of Dog Training D．The Power of Leadership 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．C 4．B 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了著名狗狗行为专家Cesar Millan的故事，包括他的工作理念、对狗狗及其主人的看法，以及他如何帮助解决狗狗行为问题。 1．细节理解题。根据文章第一段“For many dog owners, Millan represents a last hope — the final resort for those at their wit’s end. “A lot of people think they’ve tried everything,” he observes, “but in reality, they haven’t.

That’s when they come to me who can whisper to their dogs.”(对于许多养狗人士来说，Millan代表着最后的希望——是那些无计可施之人的最终求助对象。“很多人觉得自己已经尝试了所有办法，”他说道，“但实际上，他们并没有。他们咨询过不同的专业人士，听取过没用的建议，甚至还被告知应该把狗安乐死。就在这个时候，他们找到了我，那个能与他们的狗‘轻声细语’交流的人。”)”可知，很多狗主人尝试了各种方法都没有效果，而Millan可以解决他们的问题，能提供更好的解决方案，所以他是最后的希望。故选C。 2．词句猜测题。根据划线单词所在句“His grandfather, a master of handling dogs for cattle and sheep round-ups, understood the importance of maintaining “pack leader” status to ensure the dogs’ obedience. That belief, whether among dogs or between owners and pets, remains the heart of Millan’s philosophy.(他的祖父是一位擅长指挥狗驱赶牛羊的能手，深知保持“群体领袖”地位以确保狗服从命令的重要性。这种信念，无论是在狗群之间，还是在主人与宠物之间，始终是Millan理念的核心。)”可知，祖父理解保持“群体领袖”地位以确保狗服从的重要性，而这种信念是Millan理念的核心，所以“That belief”指的就是“Pack leadership”。故选B。 3．细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Millan’s life now is a far cry from the dusty farm where he grew up, learning about dogs from his grandfather. Despite the farm’s humble conditions—— no running water and only four rooms—— it felt like paradise(天堂) to him. His grandfather, a master of handling dogs for cattle and sheep round-ups, understood the importance of maintaining “pack leader” status to ensure the dogs’ obedience. That belief, whether among dogs or between owners and pets, remains the heart of Millan’s philosophy.(Millan现在的生活与他成长的那个尘土飞扬的农场相去甚远。他在那里跟着祖父学习与狗相关的知识。尽管农场条件简陋——没有自来水，只有四个房间——但对他来说，那里就像天堂一样。他的祖父是一位擅长指挥狗驱赶牛羊的能手，深知保持“群体领袖”地位以确保狗服从命令的重要性。这种信念，无论是在狗群之间，还是在主人与宠物之间，始终是Millan理念的核心。)”可知，Millan在农场的经历，特别是从祖父那里学到的关于保持“群体领袖”地位来训练狗的理念，是他职业理念的核心，对他的职业生涯贡献巨大。故选C。 4．主旨大意题。文章第一段“For many dog owners, Millan represents a last hope — the final resort for those at their wit’s end. “A lot of people think they’ve tried everything,” he observes, “but in reality, they haven’t. They’ve consulted different professionals, heard advice that didn’t work, or been told that their dog should be put down. That’s when they come to me who can whisper to their dogs.”(对于许多养狗人士来说，Millan代表着最后的希望——是那些无计可施之人的最终求助对象。“很多人觉得自己已经尝试了所有办法，”他说道，“但实际上，他们并没有。他们咨询过不同的专业人士，听取过没用的建议，甚至还被告知应该把狗安乐死。就在这个时候，他们找到了我，那个能与他们的狗‘轻声细语’交流的人。”)”提到了“whisper to their dogs”，并且全文围绕Millan如何帮助狗主人解决狗的行为问题展开。选项B“The Dog Whisperer(狗语者)”形象地体现了Millan能与狗沟通并解决问题的特点，作为标题最为合适。故选B。 （24-25高三上·山东德州·阶段练习）There was a young girl in China who was initially engaged in making hairpins. She was quite skilled, creating various delicate hairpins with traditional Chinese elements. However, her work was mainly within a certain range of styles. One day, a message in the comment section of her post caught her attention. Someone suggested that she could try making the hidden weapons described in novels. Inspired by this idea, she decided to make a change.   When she began making the hidden weapons, numerous difficulties emerged. Firstly, there was a lack of real prototypes for reference. She could only rely on the descriptions in novels and her imagination to figure out the shapes and structures. Secondly, the size setting was a great challenge. The hidden weapons needed to be small enough to be concealed easily, but at the same time, they had to possess the basic functions and deadliness of weapons. For example, making a dagger (短剑) that could be hidden in a sleeve or a small section required precise measurement and design. Moreover, the mechanism of quickly taking out and transforming the weapons was extremely complicated. She had to experiment with various materials and designs to ensure that the hidden weapons could be smoothly and rapidly taken out in a simulated combat situation. She spent a lot of time and effort on this new pursuit. She carefully selected materials and used her craftsmanship to transform simple materials into realistic and cool hidden weapons. Her works, such as a sharp and beautifully decorated dagger, gradually gained popularity on the Internet. Through her creations, more and more people, especially young people, became interested in the traditional weapon culture in China. She realized that her work could not only show her creativity but also carry forward Chinese traditional culture. For her future, she is determined to continue exploring and innovating in this field to let the charm of Chinese traditional culture shine brightly in the whole world. 1．What was the girl mainly doing at first? A．Producing hairpins with Chinese features. B．Designing modern and fashionable hairpins. C．Creating hidden weapons inspired by novels. D．Making hidden weapons with limited design styles. 2．Why did the girl want to make a change? A．Her failure in making traditional hairpins. B．A piece of advice from an online follower. C．A request to change her styles from a customer. D．Her inspiration when reading novels about hidden weapons. 3．What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A．The basic functions of hidden weapons. B．The origin and history of hidden weapons. C．The difficulties in making hidden weapons. D．The precise measurement and designs of hidden weapons. 4．Which can be a suitable title for the text? A．The Girl Who Made Beautiful Weapons B．Difficulties in Making Hidden Weapons C．The Popularity of Chinese Traditional Weapons D．From Hairpin Maker to Hidden Weapon Creator 【答案】1．A 2．B 3．C 4．D 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了一个原本制作发夹的女孩，因为网友的建议开始制作隐藏武器，说明了其中的困难以及女孩对未来的规划。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段“There was a young girl in China who was initially engaged in making hairpins. She was quite skilled, creating various delicate hairpins with traditional Chinese elements.(在中国有一个年轻的女孩，她最初是做发夹的。她非常熟练，用中国传统元素制作了各种精致的发夹)”可知，这个女孩一开始主要生产具有中国特色的发夹。故选A。 2．细节理解题。根据第二段“Someone suggested that she could try making the hidden weapons described in novels. Inspired by this idea, she decided to make a change.(有人建议她可以尝试制作小说中描述的隐藏武器。受到这个想法的启发，她决定做出改变)”可知，这个女孩想要改变是因为一个网友的建议。故选B。 3．主旨大意题。根据第三段的主要内容，尤其主旨句“When she began making the hidden weapons, numerous difficulties emerged. (当她开始制作隐藏武器时，出现了许多困难)”可知，第三段主要讲了制造隐藏武器的困难。故选C。 4．主旨大意题。根据第二段“One day, a message in the comment section of her post caught her attention.

(一天，她帖子评论区的一条信息引起了她的注意。有人建议她可以尝试制作小说中描述的隐藏武器。受到这个想法的启发，她决定做出改变)”结合文章主要讲述了一个原本制作发夹的女孩，因为网友的建议开始制作隐藏武器，说明了其中的困难以及女孩对未来的规划。可知，D选项“从发夹制造者到隐藏武器创造者”最符合文章标题。故选D。 （2025·山东济宁·模拟预测）In March, 5-year-old Wynn Radke of Minnesota came home from preschool with no idea that she wouldn’t return for months because of COVID-19. Once the realization and boredom set in, her mom Colleen challenged her to think of a goal to work toward that involved an outdoor activity. Wynn wasted no time and shouted, “67 waterfalls!” While the number was random, her mom loved the idea so much that she agreed to help the little one on her quest. The lovely pair’s first adventure took place on March 28, 2020 at Fairy Falls, and it was amazing! From there, they continued hiking to different waterfalls, documenting their progress as they inched closer and closer to their goal. Both Colleen and Wynn took their quest seriously. In fact, they traveled all over Minnesota and into Wisconsin to track down new locations, even camping overnight to reach some places. Originally, Colleen said the challenge was simply a way to get Wynn outside instead of just watching YouTube all  day. But it ended up being something therapeutic for them to do during the  struggles 2020 has brought to their family. Between Wynn missing her friends and Colleen losing her job, the waterfall visits have helped a lot. “I think it kept both of our minds off it,” Colleen added. “She could feel my stress during everything. I also think that it helped protect her from all the craziness going on. In addition, it was just a really fun time for the two of us to bond and grow and heal together.” It took Wynn and Colleen five months, but they finally reached Winnewissa Falls — their 67th waterfall — in August. Upon reaching her goal, Wynn announced, “I did it!” And she wasn’t the only one who was delirious. When she returned to school, her friends and teachers welcomed her with celebratory balloons. For her wonderful mom, the adventure was less about the  milestones and more about the time they spent together. “We had so much fun doing us, being us, and camping,” she said. 1．Why did Wynn and Colleen decide to have the adventure?

(事实上，他们走遍了明尼苏达州并进入威斯康星州寻找新地点，甚至过夜露营以到达某些地方)”可知，为了寻找新的地点，她们走遍了明尼苏达州和威斯康星州，甚至在一些地方露营过夜。由此推知，她们挑战了体能的极限。故选D。 3．推理判断题。根据第三段Colleen说的话““I think it kept both of our minds off it,” Colleen added. “She could feel my stress during everything. I also think that it helped protect her from all the craziness going on. In addition, it was just a really fun time for the two of us to bond and grow and heal together.”(“我认为这让我们都不再去想它，”科琳补充道。“她在任何事情上都能感受到我的压力。我还认为这有助于保护她免受所有疯狂的影响。此外，对于我们两个来说，这真是一段非常有趣的时光，可以让我们建立联系、一起成长、一起治愈。”)”及最后一段的“For her wonderful mom, the adventure was less about the milestones and more about the time they spent together. “We had so much fun doing us, being us, and camping,” she said.(对于她出色的妈妈来说，这次冒险与其说是里程碑，不如说是他们在一起度过的时光。“我们玩得很开心，做我们自己，还有露营，”她说)”可知，Colleen认为这是一段非常有趣的时光，让她们彼此照应，一起成长，这段旅程也加深了她们之间的感情，这对她很重要。故选D。 4．词句猜测题。根据划线单词上文“It took Wynn and Colleen five months, but they finally reached Winnewissa Falls — their 67th waterfall — in August.

I soon discovered, however, that the soil was unproductive, clay-heavy and littered with stones. In previous, much tinier gardens, I’d fix it with a few bags of high-quality soil from the nursery. Replacing this vastly greater quantity of dirt was neither practical nor financially possible. Instead, I decided to remediate (补救) what I already had. The challenge before me was to revive the soil. Two core principles of modern agriculture can guide this shift: minimizing soil disturbance and emphasizing biodiversity. In practice, growing crops by turns; prioritizing organic inputs over chemical fertilizers; integrating crops, trees and livestock; and sheltering soil from being washed away with cover crops, often work. I tried to apply such methods in my garden. Where once there was only grass, I made a pond, a rock garden, a wildflower field and raised beds for vegetables. I let plants grow and decompose by themselves in a natural way. I also introduced different plants and revived its ecological communities. In May, I decided to relocate a flowering plant. As I dug the plant out, all manner of life emerged. Earthworms swung from the roots. A daddy longlegs hurried for shelter. Below the plant I even noticed the fine white fungal mycelium (真菌菌丝). Running my fingers through the soil, I understood, more clearly than ever before, that I transformed much more than my yard - it completely changed the way I think about soil. It’s not simply as a medium for life, but as a living entity (个体) in its own right. Although science still lacks an agreed definition of life, textbooks highlight criteria widely considered to differentiate the living and nonliving. Soil meets many of them: It has a highly organized structure. It has a capacity for active self-preservation. It grows. It breathes. And it can die. 1．What was the soil problem in the author’s garden? A．Wet and salty. B．Poor and stony. C．Dry and sandy. D．Acidic and weedy. 2．What was the focus of the author’s gardening methods? A．Limiting plant variety. B．Adopting a high-tech approach. C．Giving more intervention. D．Creating a sustainable environment. 3．Why does the author mention the replanting in May? A．To introduce different species. B．To prove the garden shelters insects. C．To show the soil has come to life. D．To explain the transplanting process. 4．What is conveyed in the last paragraph? A．Soil has a soul. B．Life is well defined. C．Life has complexity. D．Soil is the source of life. （24-25高三下·山东·开学考试）In her new children’s book No More Mimi. Meg Medina recalled her beloved babysitter Miuut. She was a wonderful babysitter but kind of a pain in the neck, as well-Medina says you could look at the things on her coffee table, but you definitely couldn’t touch them. “She felt this was a very important skill,” she says. “We used to stand at that table and she'd have us practice, like putting our hands behind our back, and you could lean (倾斜) forward and look at all the pretty things.” When Medina was five years old, her grandmother came to take care of her. She started out super excited that her grandmother was coming. “I bet grandma will let me play whenever I want,” Medina told Mimi excitedly and she shared this news with her teacher until she realized that a new babysitter meant no more Mimi. Brittany Cicchese, the illustrator of the book, painted this moment with her soft style-Medina sat under the table and curled up with a blanket, whispering sadly to her dog, “No more Mimi.” Luckily, Mimi went exactly nowhere.

Mimi stayed a part of her life forever. “I hold a space for her in my heart,” she says. “Mimi is not buried very far from my real grandmother in Flushing, Queens”. She wrote this children’s book in her honor. So many people raise kids. There are our parents, of course, but also elder brothers and sisters, teachers, cousins, librarians, and neighbors. It’s easy to forget just how ma people have a role in helping raise us. “It feels good to know that there’s this story for kids right now, but that there’s a piece of this story that’s also about remembering these wonderful women who helped raise us,” says Medina. “It feels like we’re paying them honor.

As one of the destinations of the “Go Jiangsu” program, we visited the Yao Jiaping Embroidery Art Gallery. Before this encounter, my interaction with Suzhou embroidery (刺绣) was limited to online images, which is why, at the art gallery, I was amazed at the unbelievable precision that I had assumed was machine-made. Seeking a hands-on experience, I realized those weaving stories with threads are a millennia-old cultural heritage. It struck me that this isn’t just handicraft; it’s an art form and a slice of history. Wandering through Suzhou at night was a different kind of magic. The streetlights, busy markets, and street food transported me to another dimension. Walking down the Pingjiang Road, where ancient buildings meet modern lighting, I felt the unique charm of Suzhou. It dawned on me that modernization doesn’t have to mean abandoning tradition; they can exist side by side. Exploring Suzhou Industrial Park, I witnessed another facet(方面)of China’s modernization. These towering buildings and cutting-edge companies showcased the rapid pace of China’s modern development.The transition from ancient culture to modern technology was nothing short of astonishing. Visiting the Suzhou Museum of Imperial Kiln Brick rounded out my journey, offering a comprehensive view of China’s history. Each exhibit narrated a story, spanning from ancient artifacts to modern achievements, enriching my understanding of China’s developmental process. Suzhou absolutely lives up to its reputation as “the city of museums, the city of parks, and the city of theater”. Through personal encounters, I gained not just knowledge but a deeper connection and appreciation for China’s culture and progress. This journey wasn’t just a physical one; it was an enriching experience for the soul. 1．Which word can best describe the writer’s trip to Suzhou? A．Costly. B．Extraordinary. C．Romantic.

D．It was invented by Yao Jianping. 3．Why is the Pingjiang Road mentioned in Paragraph 4? A．To advocate preserving the tradition. B．To highlight the local rapid development. C．To emphasize the importance of modernization. D．To praise the integration of tradition and modernity. 4．What does the writer imply in the last paragraph? A．The trip is well worth it.

D．“Go Jiangsu” program must attain popularity. （24-25高三上·山东德州·期末）Growing up, I was afraid of using my voice, concerned that sharing my thoughts would differentiate me from my peers. Raised by immigrant parents who often mispronounced words, I was afraid my voice would expose my inadequacies(不足), considering my inability to adopt a so-called “authentic American” accent as a flaw tied to my Asian identity. I quickly fell into the label of most Asian girls, but it was not because of my shyness or liking being quiet. All the beloved female characters on the Disney and Nickelodeon TV shows and all the popular girls at my school made me more silent and invisible. As I grew older, my silence became a habit. I would stay in spaces like a shadow, present but inactive. My mom grew frustrated and confused as to why I was so silent as a shell everywhere. To cope with the spiritual crisis, I took to writing, where I could think through my ideas without the pressure of pronunciation. Writing opened my eyes to the many thoughts and emotions I had been silencing. I began to observe the way my mom spoke, too. She was very vocal, whether it was chatting with her friends or it was defending herself as an ethnic minority. She always stood up for what she believed in—mispronunciations and all. Through writing and observing my mom, I realized that I had been shutting myself down before anyone else could judge me, robbing myself of the chance to be heard. I began to speak up and tell others about my background, though I have only been there several times. In sharing so many of my stories, I began to connect with those who could relate and shine a light on the beauties of living in my own culture. Now, I proudly embrace my voice without considering mispronunciation. By celebrating my ethnic heritage through shared stories, I am taking a step further towards embracing my identity, proving that my voice, filled with richness and authenticity, deserves to be heard. 1．What made the author afraid to use her voice? A．She had to compete with others. B．She was unable to master English. C．She was born too shy to express herself. D．She spoke a different accent from others. 2．What did those popular girls bring to the author? A．Guilt. B．Sympathy. C．Stress. D．Belonging. 3．How can the author’s writing and observing her mom be defined? A．A shortcut to learning English. B．A process of her self-awareness. C．A step towards better writing skills. D．An exploration of cultural differences. 4．What did the author express when concluding her story? A．Satisfaction with her family. B．Acceptance of her identity. C．Evaluation on Asian immigrants. D．Appreciation of the foreign culture. （24-25高三下·山东德州·开学考试）When I was young, my dreams were simple. I wanted a dog, a house with stairs, and a four-door station wagon. I used to say I wanted to be a pediatrician (儿科医生) — not because I truly understood what it meant, but because it sounded impressive to adults. I was ambitious, though I didn’t know exactly where I was headed. Looking back now, I find it odd that adults ask children, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” It seems as if growing up is finite and at some point you become something and that’s the end. My life has taken many forms. I’ve been a lawyer, a hospital executive, and a charity initiator helping young people. I’ve been a wife, a painful daughter, and a mother learning as I go. And, for eight years, I was the leader of an international nonprofit organization — a role that brought unique challenges and opportunities, humbling and empowering me in equal measure. The experience of working for the UN allowed me to see the world in its extremes. I visited state-of-the-art offices and met small-business owners who had lost everything in economic downturns, grateful for a steady income. I encountered dishonesty and shallowness but also met incredible innovators, dedicated employees, and young entrepreneurs (企业家) whose passion and optimism reminded me of what truly matters. I learned to manage public opinion, whether it was criticism of my business decisions or rumors (传闻) about my management style. Through it all, I focused on staying true to myself, grounded by the values my mentors (导师) taught me: work hard, think strategically, and honor your journey. Now, I’m beginning a new chapter. My family recently moved into a modern apartment not far from our office, decorated with items that remind us of our achievements. As I sat on the balcony, watching my children play, I realized that my children are growing into independent individuals. My family is finding their rhythm in a new adventure. And I’m here, enjoying these small, quiet moments and thinking about the stories I still want to tell. 1．Why did the author want to be a pediatrician as a child? A．She was always there to assist. B．She had a passion for medicine. C．It meant more responsibilities. D．It would make adults admire her. 2．What does the author imply in paragraph 2? A．Childhood dreams are rarely fulfilled. B．People should have lifelong ambitions. C．Life involves constant change and growth. D．Adults are unsure about their own future. 3．What belief did working for the UN give the author? A．Avoid public opinion at all costs. B．Seek external recognition for success. C．Consider gaining wealth and social status. D．Stay true to herself against challenges. 4．What mood does the author mainly convey in the last paragraph? A．Ambitious. B．Reflective. C．Anxious. D．Stressed. （24-25高三上·山东青岛·期末）A whale shark under the waves caught in a ray of sunlight, a snow leopard (豹) moving forward with its eyes locked on yours–these images could easily be mistaken for photographs, but in fact they were captured by a paintbrush. British artist Sophie Green often creates paintings of endangered animal species. With a following of over 115, 000 on a social platform, she’s not doing so badly. Last year, one of Green’s works was auctioned (拍卖) at the Royal Geographical Society in London. It was a painting of a chimp (黑猩猩), called Wounda, which had been rescued from a illegal trade by the Jane Goodall Institute in the Republic of Congo. When Wounda arrived at the institute, she was in desperate need of medical attention, but since receiving treatment, she has made a full recovery and now lives in an island reserve. Profits from all Green’s artworks goes towards funding a range of projects, from shark and turtle research to conservation for African land mammals. As a child, Green was diagnosed (诊断) with selective-mutism — a form of anxiety, meaning she wouldn’t speak in class or to her teachers. Consequently, she bathed herself in nature. Green believed painting can be more effective than photography, because it affords more control over the composition. “If you want the animal to be looking directly into your eyes, then you can do that,” she said. Green’s process differs from piece to piece. She often finds images for inspiration everywhere, sometimes using photographs captured by herself or her friends, and sometimes surfing the Internet to find images of the creature she wants to paint. Often, the final piece comes from a combination of several images. Her goal is to encourage action from people who view the artwork. “If you’ve looked into the animal’s eyes, I think it’s much harder to forget that there’s so much going on in the world right now and so many animals that need our help,” Green said. 1．What does the author start the text with? A．Photographs of animals. B．Excellence of Green’s works. C．Limitations of Green’s works. D．Impacts of animal-focused paintings. 2．Why is Green’s painting about a rescued chimp mentioned? A．To stress her environmental awareness. B．To display the main theme of her works. C．To encourage people to support the auction. D．To show her contribution to protecting animals. 3．What do we know about Green’s art-making process? A．She often turns to others for help. B．She mainly relies on online information. C．She observes real animals to get inspiration. D．She combines different images into her work. 4．What does Green mean in the last paragraph? A．Criticizing people for ignoring the endangered animals. B．Emphasizing the importance of eye contact with animals. C．Highlighting the emotional impact of the work on viewers. D．Showing her paintings are more realistic than photographs. （24-25高三上·山东枣庄·期末）The pond is silent — until the first cry: “Found something!” A swimmer ducks into the water. She emerges, fist first, clutching a pair of bright blue children’s swimming goggles. She shakes them overhead, as if she has won a prize. Over the next hour, on a cloudy Saturday morning in July, the team of 15 — all over age 65, all women — hunts for trash across Mares Pond, a 28-acre kettle hole on Cape Cod, at depths of up to 8 feet. These are the Old Ladies Against Underwater Garbage (OLAUG). Since 2017, the group, which accepts only older women as members, has made it its mission to remove trash from ponds across Cape Cod. The group’s existence is owed to Susan Baur, a retired psychologist. As a lifelong nature fan, she had begun swimming in ponds on the cape as a safer alternative to the ocean. However, between mud, darkness and snapping turtles, the world of the pond was at first one of anxiety for her. In 2017, on a whim, she rounded up two friends and a stranger with a kayak and together, they cleared a large amount of litter from a pond. Soon others joined them, and, like Baur, they found a sense of wonder in the pond cleanups. While many outsiders have expressed their gratitude to OLAUG for cleaning up the ponds, some have questioned why they refer to themselves as “old ladies”. Others have said she should open the group to all ages, and to men. Although she admits that it wasn’t initially a thoughtful choice, she now believes that the “old lady” identity is a crucial part of what the group is about. “Over 65, if you’re healthy enough to do what we’re doing, it is the age of gratitude,” Baur says. “You are so grateful that you can still do this.” 1．Why was the group OLAUG founded? A．To promote an active way of life. B．To rescue children from the ponds. C．To clean up garbage in the ponds. D．To advocate swimming to keep fit. 2．What do we know about Susan Baur from the text? A．She longs for a quiet retired life. B．She cares about old ladies' life. C．She is keen on physical training. D．She is a nature-loving woman. 3．What is some people’s suggestion to the group? A．To be more inclusive. B．To broaden its business. C．To rename the group. D．To be more independent. 4．Why does Baur particularly care about their “old lady” identity?

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. 1．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.

Kline didn’t begin running until later in life. “I was overweight,52, and I’d never done it,” he says. He tried a 10K and loved it so much that he was hooked. But it wasn’t without a lot of training and a lot of pain: “I tried a marathon, and I did horrible. It was the most miserable, painful experience I ever had. It took me three years to qualify for Boston Marathon.” Eight years later, the idea for Marathons with Meaning was sparked when Kline met a young woman whose spinal column (脊柱) was crushed after an accident. He saw how hard it was for her to manage the world with this disability. At that time, Kline was getting tired of being a stand-alone athlete. “Running is very much an individualistic sport,” he says. “So, I thought,’ Why don’t I try to include somebody else and take them along? “He contacted a children’s hospital and the Make-a-Wish Foundation, and soon he was including rider-athletes in his marathons. And the rest is history. Kline has now been running with rider-athletes for 12 years in marathons all over the world. “The kids love it, and it changes their lives. It changes their parents’ lives, and it changes the other runners. Everybody is empowered by it,” he says. Some rider-athletes are very sick, some are nonverbal, and some are physically disabled but very sharp mentally. For example, one young woman rider-athlete can’t use her arms or legs but she has a Ph.D．in marine biology and speaks three languages. “I never judge the disability or the person’s ability,” Kline says. “They’re amazing, and they inspire us.” What advice would Kline give others? Reach out. Don’t look the other way when you see someone not as well off. If you don’t know how to love unconditionally, then you’ll never understand love. 1．What is the main focus of Marathons with Meaning? A．Training runners for marathons. B．Organizing global marathon events. C．Boosting individual athletic success. D．Making running available to the disabled. 2．What inspired Peter Kline to start Marathons with Meaning? A．His own love for running. B．The encounter with a young disabled woman. C．His desire to get connected. D．The advice from the Make-a-Wish Foundation. 3．How does Marathons with Meaning influence the rider-athletes? A．It enhances their inner power. B．It fuels their competitive spirit.

Disappointed that standard equipment just didn’t add up, Jessica’s mum, Sam, emailed stationery (文具) giant Maped Helix, more in hope than expectation that they might have something that could help. She was so surprised when she got a reply saying that the team at Helix, inspired by Jessica’s story, had decided to develop a unique stationery set specifically to support the needs of children with sight difficulties. The groundbreaking Oxford Vision Maths Set includes a self-centering metal compass with safety point, a pencil sharpener, 15 cm/6-inch ruler, 45° and 60° set squares, etc. Designed in cooperation with the Royal National Institute of Blind People (RNIB), the maths set has been created using a high contrasting black and yellow design to make each item easier to read. The complete set is sold in plastic-free packaging made from recycled materials. Following guidance from the experts, clever details such as large print graduations (刻度线) on the ruler, as well as all the text being raised by 0.5 mm have been included. “We receive a lot of emails, but this particular one really struck a chord with us, making us really think of how we can have a commitment to empower all children,” said Gray Richmond, Managing Director at Maped Helix. “This product will make a huge difference to the lives of children with vision conditions, allowing them to have independence in the classroom and giving them access to the same opportunities as their sighted classmates,” said Nicola Cornwell, Head of Business Services at RNIB． 1．What difficulty does Jessica face at school?

At 15, I was anxiously awaiting the possibility to speak to my biggest role model, J. Michael Bishop, MD．I’d learnt from other students who had previously participated in the International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF) that the Nobel laureate walks around from poster to poster to speak with students during the Public Showcase Day. J. Michael Bishop, MD, who was the winner of the 1989 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, talked about his childhood and how he had hardly been exposed to science. Throughout his college education, he never imagined himself becoming a scientist. He had even been denied entry into countless labs due to a lack of prior experience. He had an ambition to become a scientist, but lacked the guidance to visualize his future career. Over time, he developed relationships with instructors who believed in him. More importantly, he learned how to believe in himself. I found inspiration in Dr. Bishop’s goal of becoming a scientist and his willingness to be open and vulnerable — he often gave talks about his own self-doubt. Dr. Bishop is a role model for anyone who, like me, comes from an unconventional background, inspiring us to persevere and work through self-doubt to pursue a career in science. When Dr. Bishop was just inches away from the posters nearest to mine, I ran up to my role model and asked him to come to my poster even if I wasn’t on his list. He was kind enough to spend at least an hour with me, discussing my research and ultimate goal to pursue a PhD． Seven years after meeting Dr. Bishop, I had the privilege of pursuing a PhD in cancer biology, and my path continues to mirror his. I am devoting my graduate and scientific career to instructing students from underrepresented backgrounds through teaching, guiding them through their own research projects, and openly sharing my own story, just as Dr. Bishop does. 1．Why did the author stand by her research poster so long? A．To perfect her research poster. B．To conduct her scientific research. C．To participate in the event of ISEF. D．To seek chance to talk to Dr. Bishop. 2．What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A．Dr. Bishop’s plan for his future career. B．Dr. Bishop’s early exposure to science. C．Dr. Bishop’s experience in experiments. D．Dr. Bishop’s hard path to turning scientist. 3．Why did the author consider Dr. Bishop her role model? A．He overcame self-doubt to achieve his goal. B．He was willing to talk about his vulnerability. C．He worked hard and had strong self-discipline. D．He was a success with a conventional background. 4．What can we infer from the last paragraph? A．The author feels proud of her extraordinary students. B．The author follows Dr. Bishop's example to help her students. C．Teachers sharing their own story impress their students deeply. D．Dr. Bishop has a great impact on the author's research methods. （24-25高三上·山东滨州·期末） “Thank you for your email. I have left to pursue my dream of crocheting sweaters for penguins in Antarctica and no longer work for the School of Economics. I will be out of office on a permanent, indefinite, open-ended basis until my penguin friends are happy.” A Chinese student studying in the UK said her tutor, who quit education to knit sweaters for penguins in Antarctica, has been generating buzz online. The charitable act of knitting sweaters for penguins is, in fact, a real initiative. A major oil spill occurred in the waters off the Phillip Island in Australia in the late 1990s, severely affecting local penguins who saw their population shrink over two breeding seasons. When little penguins become oiled, they will try to preen and clean the toxic oil from their feathers, and swallowing it can kill them. It also damages their delicate feathers, which exposes their skin to extreme temperatures and they are left cold, heavy and unable to swim or hunt for food. In response, the Penguin Foundation and Phillip Island Nature Parks launched a public welfare campaign, calling on enthusiasts worldwide to knit sweaters for the freezing penguins during the process of rehabilitation. In 2001, another major oil spill occurred in the waters near Phillip Island, with a total of 438 penguin’s. affected. 96%were successfully rescued and released back into the wild with the help of the Penguin Foundation and these sweaters. However, some people argue that the sweaters could potentially add extra weight to the penguins’ bodies, or cause them to overheat. The Penguin Foundation explained that the sweaters are used temporarily to keep penguins warm before their bodies are washed and feathers recover. Sweaters for penguins must be crafted from wool and follow specific knitting guidelines. Numerous sweaters that have failed to meet the standards have been repurposed for toy penguins. By selling toy penguins wearing these sweaters, the Penguin Foundation raises fund for the wildlife on Phillip Island. 1．What is the direct impact of the oil spill on penguins? A．They are unable to prey. B．Their feathers are spoiled. C．They are left to extreme cold. D．They have trouble in swallowing. 2．Why are the numbers listed in Paragraph 5? A．To show the severity of the oil spill. B．To illustrate the achievement of the campaign. C．To explain the serious conditions of the penguins. D．To add some background information of the oil spill 3．What can we learn about the sweaters from the last paragraph? A．Many of them go to waste. B．They are highly impractical. C．Their production is demanding. D．They solved the problems for good. 4．What’s the main idea of the passage? A．An initiative generates buzz on the Internet. B．A major oil spill took place on Phillip Island. C．A tutor quits to knit sweaters for penguins in Antarctica. D．The Penguin Foundation asked for more penguin sweaters. 重难语篇拔高练 （24-25高三上·山东淄博·一模）For many dog owners, Millan represents a last hope — the final resort for those at their wit’s end. “A lot of people think they’ve tried everything,” he observes, “but in reality, they haven’t. They’ve consulted different professionals, heard advice that didn’t work, or been told that their dog should be put down. That’s when they come to me who can whisper to their dogs.” Millan’s focus, however, isn’t just on the dogs — it’s on their owners. “I correct dogs. I train humans,” he often says. Many of the dogs he encounters are chosen for the wrong reasons or suffer from confused signals from their owners. Some dogs struggle to find their place when their humans fail to establish themselves as strong pack leaders. Others fight endlessly with pets they can’t stand. As Millan calmly addresses their behavior, the owners — seated like their dogs, receiving gentle blame — often look as sad as the animals themselves. By the end of a session, the dogs appear calmer, but their owners are left reflecting on their next steps, nervously aware of the challenges ahead. Millan explains that dogs don’t consider him as a trainer but as someone who connects with them through energy. “They only sense that I am there for them,” he says. “What matters is the energy, not the breed (品种), name, or age of the dog.” Millan’s life now is a far cry from the dusty farm where he grew up, learning about dogs from his grandfather. Despite the farm’s humble conditions — no running water and only four rooms — it felt like paradise (天堂) to him. His grandfather, a master of handling dogs for cattle and sheep round-ups, understood the importance of maintaining “pack leader” status to ensure the dogs’ obedience. That belief, whether among dogs or between owners and pets, remains the heart of Millan’s philosophy. “Every creation, every relationship, must function as a pack,” Millan explains. “Leadership is shared. I’m a good leader with my dogs and with people, but I’m also a good follower.” 1．Why is Millan a last hope for many dog owners? A．He is a man of wisdom. B．He can put the dogs down. C．He can offer better solutions. D．He never blames dog owners. 2．What do the underlined words “That belief” in paragraph 4 refer to? A．Dog discipline. B．Pack leadership. C．Human-animal bond. D．Human energy in training. 3．What contributes to Millan’s career most? A．His gentle temper. B．His early education. C．His farm experiences. D．His miserable childhood. 4．Which of the following might be the best title for the text? A．The Pack Leader B．The Dog Whisperer C．The Art of Dog Training D．The Power of Leadership （24-25高三上·山东德州·阶段练习）There was a young girl in China who was initially engaged in making hairpins. She was quite skilled, creating various delicate hairpins with traditional Chinese elements. However, her work was mainly within a certain range of styles. One day, a message in the comment section of her post caught her attention. Someone suggested that she could try making the hidden weapons described in novels. Inspired by this idea, she decided to make a change.   When she began making the hidden weapons, numerous difficulties emerged. Firstly, there was a lack of real prototypes for reference. She could only rely on the descriptions in novels and her imagination to figure out the shapes and structures. Secondly, the size setting was a great challenge. The hidden weapons needed to be small enough to be concealed easily, but at the same time, they had to possess the basic functions and deadliness of weapons. For example, making a dagger (短剑) that could be hidden in a sleeve or a small section required precise measurement and design. Moreover, the mechanism of quickly taking out and transforming the weapons was extremely complicated. She had to experiment with various materials and designs to ensure that the hidden weapons could be smoothly and rapidly taken out in a simulated combat situation. She spent a lot of time and effort on this new pursuit. She carefully selected materials and used her craftsmanship to transform simple materials into realistic and cool hidden weapons. Her works, such as a sharp and beautifully decorated dagger, gradually gained popularity on the Internet. Through her creations, more and more people, especially young people, became interested in the traditional weapon culture in China. She realized that her work could not only show her creativity but also carry forward Chinese traditional culture. For her future, she is determined to continue exploring and innovating in this field to let the charm of Chinese traditional culture shine brightly in the whole world. 1．What was the girl mainly doing at first? A．Producing hairpins with Chinese features. B．Designing modern and fashionable hairpins. C．Creating hidden weapons inspired by novels. D．Making hidden weapons with limited design styles. 2．Why did the girl want to make a change? A．Her failure in making traditional hairpins. B．A piece of advice from an online follower. C．A request to change her styles from a customer. D．Her inspiration when reading novels about hidden weapons. 3．What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A．The basic functions of hidden weapons. B．The origin and history of hidden weapons. C．The difficulties in making hidden weapons. D．The precise measurement and designs of hidden weapons. 4．Which can be a suitable title for the text? A．The Girl Who Made Beautiful Weapons B．Difficulties in Making Hidden Weapons C．The Popularity of Chinese Traditional Weapons D．From Hairpin Maker to Hidden Weapon Creator （2025·山东济宁·模拟预测）In March, 5-year-old Wynn Radke of Minnesota came home from preschool with no idea that she wouldn’t return for months because of COVID-19. Once the realization and boredom set in, her mom Colleen challenged her to think of a goal to work toward that involved an outdoor activity. Wynn wasted no time and shouted, “67 waterfalls!” While the number was random, her mom loved the idea so much that she agreed to help the little one on her quest. The lovely pair’s first adventure took place on March 28, 2020 at Fairy Falls, and it was amazing! From there, they continued hiking to different waterfalls, documenting their progress as they inched closer and closer to their goal. Both Colleen and Wynn took their quest seriously.
