Although absorbed in wildlife, I was too frightened to go into nature myself. Later when I was in high school, the disconnect became really clear when I collapsed after getting hit in the face by a flying beetle (甲虫). “Hmm. This might cause a problem,” I thought. I considered nature to be an unpredictable and unsafe space for me. Eventually, I turned my interest to microbiology, enjoying the comfortable environment of a lab where dangerous things were contained in test tubes. Then for my Doctor of Philosophy, I joined the lab of a field scientist named Elizabeth Hadly for a project that focused on bats as a source of infectious diseases. When I joined the Hadly lab, everyone else had field experience except me. So I immediately counted myself out when Elizabeth announced a month-long trip to Botswana, but Elizabeth convinced me to go. During our trip to Botswana’s Okavango Delta, when resting one afternoon, I heard our guide Gareth calmly inform us, “There’s an elephant right behind you.” I then noticed a massive male elephant hiding behind a small tree. Gareth explained this elephant was in a period of heightened reproductive signals that could cause aggression (挑衅). We all slowly inched our way back to our car while Gareth was making loud noise shaking a large fallen tree branch at the elephant. “He should be afraid right now. I’m in the safety of this car and I’m still afraid. This is exactly why I shouldn’t be here,” I thought. Looking around, I saw tense faces and realized I wasn’t the only one who was stressed out. At that moment, I realized that feeling afraid didn’t have to disqualify me from being a field scientist. The elephant eventually left. The encounter made me more present, and while my mind was focused on the elephant in front, the one in my head quietly disappeared as well. 1．How did a flying beetle affect the author? A．Her passion for science grew. B．She had negative ideas about nature. C．She enjoyed TV shows more. D．Her curiosity about birds disappeared. 2．Why did the author join the Hadly lab? A．To get field experience. B．To overcome her fear. C．To help with her degree. D．To advocate disease study. 3．How did the other people feel when encountering the elephant? A．Nervous. B．Qualified. C．Inspired. D．Calm. 4．What does the author imply in the last paragraph? A．She centered more on the elephant. B．The guide’s behaviors aggressed her. C．Her stress from work was reduced. D．Her fear of field work got nonexistent. 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．A 4．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者从畏惧自然到克服恐惧成为野外科学家的成长历程。 1．推理判断题。根据第一段中“Later when I was in high school, the disconnect became really clear when I collapsed after getting hit in the face by a flying beetle (甲虫). “Hmm. This might cause a problem,” I thought. I considered nature to be an unpredictable and unsafe space for me. (后来，在我上高中的时候，当我被一只飞着的甲虫击中脸部后晕倒时，这种脱节变得非常明显。‘嗯，这可能会带来问题。’我想。我认为大自然对我来说是一个不可预测且不安全的地方)”可推断，作者直面甲虫的遭遇让她崩溃，因此她对自然也有了消极的想法。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据第二段中“Then for my Doctor of Philosophy, I joined the lab of a field scientist named Elizabeth Hadly for a project that focused on bats as a source of infectious diseases. (然后，为了攻读哲学博士学位，我加入了一位名叫伊丽莎白•哈德利的野外科学家的实验室，参与一个专注于研究蝙蝠作为传染病源头的项目)”可知，为了帮助获取博士学位，作者加入了Hadly实验室。故选C。 3．细节理解题。根据第四段中“Looking around, I saw tense faces and realized I wasn’t the only one who was stressed out. (我环顾四周，看到一张张紧张的面孔，这才意识到自己并非唯一一个感到焦虑不安的人)”可知，遇到大象时，团队里的其他人也都很紧张和害怕。故选A。 4．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“The encounter made me more present, and while my mind was focused on the elephant in front, the one in my head quietly disappeared as well. (这次遭遇让我更加专注于当下，当我的注意力集中在眼前的大象身上时，我脑海中的那种担忧也悄然消散了)”可推断，作者克服了对野外实地考察工作的恐惧。故选D。 [02]（2025·福建福州·三模）Kristy Gordon’s artistic voice didn’t emerge overnight — it was a year-long process of unlearning perfectionism and rediscovering her creativity. Like many artists, she began by burying her intuition (直觉)under academic expectations. Through strict training in classical techniques, she mastered the rules of “good” painting — only to realize those very rules had become a box. The turning point came after completing her MFA at the New York Academy of Art. Free from the pressure of peer review, Gordon gave herself permission to experiment without judgment. Gordon made a brave decision to step away from public exhibitions for an entire year, which gave her the freedom to explore without worrying about critical reception or commercial success. Without the approaching deadline of an upcoming exhibition, she found herself painting more freely, trying techniques she’d previously considered “too risky” for public display. Gordon rediscovered the pure joy of creating for herself alone. The year away from the spotlight allowed her to develop a body of work that was truly hers, rather than shaped by market trends or academic feedback. As she later recalled, “That year of painting in private was like giving myself permission to be a beginner again. Without an audience, I could make all the ‘mistakes’ that eventually led to my artistic breakthroughs.” The strategy paid off — when she eventually returned to exhibiting, her work showed a new level of confidence and originality that had been formed in that year. Gordon’s journey reveals an insightful truth: An artist’s voice isn’t something to be found, but something to be uncovered. It requires both courage to silence external expectations and patience to hear your own inner creative whisper. As she reflects, “Your most authentic (真实的) work emerges when you stop trying to make art, and start allowing art to make you.” 1．Which best describes Gordon’s previous paintings? A．Impressionistic. B．Conventional. C．Abstract. D．Expressive. 2．How does Gordon start to find her voice? A．She posted paintings online. B．She gave up risky techniques. C．She took diverse art training. D．She kept a free creative space. 3．Which statement best explains Gordon’s comment about “mistakes”? A．Unrestricted creation brings innovation. B．Original art is often rejected by galleries. C．Market trends hold back art development. D．Beginners should hide unsatisfying works. 4．What is Gordon’s understanding of art? A．It is a competition for recognition. B．It should follow strict regulations. C．It is an exploration of inner self. D．It should challenge expectations. 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．A 4．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了艺术家克里斯蒂・戈登的艺术风格形成历程。 1．推理判断题。根据第一段“Like many artists, she began by burying her intuition (直觉) under academic expectations. Through strict training in classical techniques, she mastered the rules of ‘good’ painting — only to realize those very rules had become a box. (像许多艺术家一样，她一开始将自己的直觉埋没在学术期望之下。通过对古典绘画技巧的严格训练，她掌握了“好” 绘画的规则 —— 却意识到这些规则已经成了一个禁锢。)”可知，戈登之前的绘画遵循学术期望和古典绘画的规则，由此可推断她之前的绘画是传统的。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据第二段“Gordon made a brave decision to step away from public exhibitions for an entire year, which gave her the freedom to explore without worrying about critical reception or commercial success. Without the approaching deadline of an upcoming exhibition, she found herself painting more freely, trying techniques she’d previously considered “too risky” for public display. (戈登做出了一个大胆的决定，整整一年远离公众展览，这让她有了自由探索的空间，不用担心评论界的接受度或商业上的成功。没有了即将到来的展览截止日期的压力，她发现自己画画更加自由了，尝试了一些她以前认为对公众展示来说 “太冒险” 的技巧。)”可知，她通过远离公众展览，给自己保留了一个自由创作的空间，从而开始找到自己的艺术风格。故选D。 3．推理判断题。根据第三段“As she later recalled, “That year of painting in private was like giving myself permission to be a beginner again. Without an audience, I could make all the ‘mistakes’ that eventually led to my artistic breakthroughs.” (正如她后来回忆的那样，“那一年的私下绘画就像是让自己再次成为初学者。没有观众，我可以犯所有那些最终导致我艺术突破的‘错误’。”)以及前文提到她在这一年自由创作，尝试新技巧可知，这里的“错误”指的是在不受限制的创作中所做的尝试，而这些尝试带来了她的艺术突破和创新。A 选项 “Unrestricted creation brings innovation.”（不受限制的创作带来创新），符合对 “错误” 的解释。故选A。 4．推理判断题。根据文章最后一段 “Gordon’s journey reveals an insightful truth: An artist’s voice isn’t something to be found, but something to be uncovered. It requires both courage to silence external expectations and patience to hear your own inner creative whisper. As she reflects, “Your most authentic (真实的) work emerges when you stop trying to make art, and start allowing art to make you.” (戈登的经历揭示了一个深刻的真理：艺术家的声音不是要去寻找的东西，而是要去发掘的东西。它既需要勇气去摒弃外界的期望，也需要耐心去倾听自己内心创造性的低语。正如她所反思的，“当你不再试图创作艺术，而是开始让艺术塑造你时，你最真实的作品就会出现。”)可知，戈登认为艺术是对内心自我的一种探索，要倾听自己内心的声音。故选C。 [03]（24-25高三下·江苏盐城·阶段练习）When 16-year-old Mei began volunteering at the migrant children’s library, she felt like an outsider. The children, with their warm laughter and rapid rural dialect, formed a tightknit circle that her textbook-perfect Mandarin couldn’t penetrate. During storytelling sessions, little Wenjing would vanish behind towering bookshelves, her small frame swallowed by shadows. Mei’s attempts to engage her with classic tales fell flat, the unfamiliar syllables (音节) bouncing off Wenjing’s silence. The library supervisor explained that many migrant children, having left parents behind in villages, often retreated into solitary worlds — a coping mechanism Mei resolved to understand. One stormy afternoon, rain drummed against the windows as Mei found Wenjing hunched (驼背的) in a dim corner, clutching a pencil. On a sheet of paper, stick figures danced — a round-faced woman, a tiny girl, and a lonely house. “Who’s this?” Mei whispered in halting dialect, stringing together phrases she’d heard from her grandmother. Wenjing’s pencil froze. For the first time, she met Mei’s gaze. “Mama... city... far,” she breathed, tapping the stick woman. Mei noticed calluses (老茧) on Wenjing’s fingertips — marks of long hours helping at her foster family’s vegetable stall, where spoken words mattered less than quick hands. The next day, Mei arrived armed with wordless picture books. They built towers of giggles with finger puppets. staged silent dinosaur battles, and traced star signs on fogged windows. Language became unnecessary — a raised eyebrow, a shared grin, hands shaping imaginary worlds. Wenjing began leaving small drawings in Mei’s bag: a flower after lunch, a star before leaving — each a silent thank you. At the farewell gathering, Wenjing pressed a paper into Mei’s palm. Stained crayon strokes showed two girls, one tall and one small, their joined hands arching into a rainbow that swallowed storm clouds. No translations required. The rainbow’s colors bled outside the lines, just as their friendship had transcended language barriers to paint something brighter. 1．Why did Wenjing initially avoid Mei? A．She feared crowded spaces. B．Mei criticized her drawings. C．Mei’s formal speech felt alien. D．She disliked Mei’s strict rules. 2．The word “halting” in paragraph 2 most likely means . A．loud and clear. B．fluent and natural. C．unique and traditional. D．hesitant and broken. 3．What key development followed the rainy-day interaction? A．Mei organized a dialect class. B．Wenjing stopped attending the library. C．They discovered shared artistic hobbies. D．Verbal language became their main tool. 4．What does the rainbow primarily symbolize? A．Hope for family reunions. B．Expression through colorful art. C．Bond beyond language barriers. D．Progress in communication skills. 【答案】1．C 2．D 3．C 4．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了一位16岁女孩通过艺术和理解，跨越语言障碍，与一名农民工儿童建立深厚友谊的感人过程。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段中的“The children, with their warm laughter and rapid rural dialect, formed a tightknit circle that her textbook-perfect Mandarin couldn’t penetrate. During storytelling sessions, little Wenjing would vanish behind towering bookshelves, her small frame swallowed by shadows. Mei’s attempts to engage her with classic tales fell flat, the unfamiliar syllables bouncing off Wenjing’s silence.(孩子们用温暖的笑声和快速的乡村方言形成了一个紧密的小圈子，梅那教科书般标准的普通话无法融入其中。在讲故事的时候，小文静总会躲在高高的书架后面，她瘦小的身影被阴影吞没。梅试图用经典故事吸引她，但那些陌生的音节在文静的沉默中毫无作用。)”可知，梅那教科书般标准的普通话无法融入孩子们的乡村方言形成的小圈子，由此可知，文静最初避开梅是因为梅的正式语言对她来说显得陌生且难以接近。故选C项。 2．词义猜测题。根据第二段中的“Mei whispered in halting dialect, stringing together phrases she’d heard from her grandmother. Wenjing’s pencil froze. For the first time, she met Mei’s gaze. “Mama... city... far,” she breathed, tapping the stick woman. (梅用……方言低声问道，拼凑着从祖母那里听到的短语。文静的铅笔停住了。她第一次迎上了梅的目光，轻声说道：“妈妈……城市……远，”同时轻触着画中的那个小人。)”可知，划线单词描述的是梅说方言时的状态，结合上下文可以看出她的方言并不流利，而是显得犹豫且不连贯。因此，划线单词的意思与“犹豫且断断续续的”意义相近。故选D项。 3．细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The next day, Mei arrived armed with wordless picture books. They built towers of giggles with finger puppets, staged silent dinosaur battles, and traced star signs on fogged windows. Language became unnecessary — a raised eyebrow, a shared grin, hands shaping imaginary worlds.(第二天，梅带来了无字图画书。她们用手指木偶搭建笑声塔，进行无声的恐龙大战，在雾蒙蒙的窗户上描绘星星图案。语言变得不再必要——一个挑眉、一个共同的笑容、双手塑造出想象的世界。)”可知，雨天互动之后，梅和文静通过艺术创作活动发现了共同的艺术爱好，并建立了更深的情感连接，由此可知，雨天互动之后，她们发现共同艺术爱好。故选C项。 4．推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Stained crayon strokes showed two girls, one tall and one small, their joined hands arching into a rainbow that swallowed storm clouds. No translations required. The rainbow’s colors bled outside the lines, just as their friendship had transcended language barriers to paint something brighter.(蜡笔的痕迹描绘了两个女孩，一个高一个矮，她们牵起的双手化作一道吞没乌云的彩虹。无需翻译。彩虹的颜色溢出了线条，正如她们的友谊超越了语言障碍，描绘出更加明亮的画卷。)”可知，彩虹主要象征着超越语言障碍的情感纽带。故选C项。 [04]（2025·河北石家庄·二模）David Feurzeig is a music theory and composition professor who has spent more than fifty years playing the piano. He has performed in famous cities such as Dresden and Paris. Now, he has chosen to use his talent to serve his local community in Vermont. Feurzeig is working on an unusual project called “Play Every Town”. He plans to drive his solar-powered electric car to visit 152 towns in Vermont by the end of 2026. Feurzeig believes that the piano is a unique instrument because it can sound like an entire orchestra. He often says that every performance is a chance to discover something new. He will perform in the towns where concerts are seldom held. These are places where, due to their size and the limited cultural facilities, people rarely have the chance to enjoy live performances. In each town, he will cooperate with local musicians, students, or community groups. Sometimes he will perform on a grand piano in a concert hall, while in other cases he will use an electric keyboard in smaller venues. This approach helps to keep the spirit of music alive in every community he visits. Apart from his passion for music, Feurzeig is deeply concerned about the environment. He has made a reduction in meat consumption and taken steps to lower his carbon footprint. He believes that long-distance touring, which often requires air travel, is unsustainable. By touring only in Vermont, he hopes to make a positive impact on the environment and inspire others to choose more sustainable ways of living. Through his project, Feurzeig combines art and environmental responsibility. His journey not only brings beautiful music to local towns but also promotes the idea that creativity and care for the planet can go hand in hand. His bold initiative inspires local communities and sets a clear example for future generations to follow. 1．What is Feurzeig's main goal of his “Play Every Town” project? A．To bring live music to small towns. B．To compete with other musicians. C．To teach promising music students. D．To show off his musical instruments. 2．Why does Feurzeig keep his musical journey local? A．To promote native culture. B．To reduce his meat consumption. C．To cut transportation expenses. D．To minimize his environmental impact. 3．Which words can best describe Feurzeig? A．Generous and inflexible. B．Ambitious and conservative. C．Highly-skilled and quick-tempered. D．Climate-conscious and community-minded. 4．What is the text mainly about? A．A musician's concert tour. B．A professor's music project. C．The history of Feurzeig's career. D．The effect of tourism on the environment. 【答案】1．A 2．D 3．D 4．B 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了音乐教授 Feurzeig开展 “Play Every Town” 项目，用音乐服务社区并心系环境，践行环保理念。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段“He will perform in the towns where concerts are seldom held. These are places where, due to their size and the limited cultural facilities, people rarely have the chance to enjoy live performances.(他将在很少举行音乐会的城镇演出。在这些地方，由于它们的规模和有限的文化设施，人们很少有机会欣赏现场表演)”可知，Feurzeig的“Play Every Town”项目主要是为了给那些很少举办音乐会、人们很少有机会欣赏现场表演的小镇带去现场音乐。故选A。 2．细节理解题。根据第三段“He believes that long-distance touring, which often requires air travel, is unsustainable. By touring only in Vermont, he hopes to make a positive impact on the environment and inspire others to choose more sustainable ways of living.(他认为，经常需要乘飞机的长途旅行是不可持续的。通过只在佛蒙特州巡演，他希望对环境产生积极的影响，并激励其他人选择更可持续的生活方式)”可知，他只在当地演出是为了尽量减少对环境的影响。故选D。 3．推理判断题。根据第三段“He believes that long-distance touring, which often requires air travel, is unsustainable. By touring only in Vermont, he hopes to make a positive impact on the environment and inspire others to choose more sustainable ways of living.(他认为，经常需要乘飞机的长途旅行是不可持续的。通过只在佛蒙特州巡演，他希望对环境产生积极的影响，并激励其他人选择更可持续的生活方式)”可知，Feurzeig采取各种措施减少碳足迹, 说明他有气候意识（Climate-conscious）；根据最后一段“Through his project, Feurzeig combines art and environmental responsibility. His journey not only brings beautiful music to local towns but also promotes the idea that creativity and care for the planet can go hand in hand.(通过他的项目，Feurzeig将艺术与环境责任相结合。他的旅程不仅为当地城镇带来了美妙的音乐，还促进了创造力和对地球的关怀可以齐头并进的理念)”以及他用自己的才华服务当地社区，去小镇进行表演，与当地音乐家、学生和社区团体合作，说明他有社区意识（community-minded）。故选D。 4．主旨大意题。根据第一段“Feurzeig is working on an unusual project called “Play Every Town”.(Feurzeig正在致力于一个名为“Play Every Town”的不同寻常的项目)”以及文章主要介绍了音乐理论和作曲教授David Feurzeig 开展的“Play Every Town”项目, 他如何实施这个项目，以及这个项目背后他对环境的关注等，所以文章主要是关于一位教授的音乐项目。故选B。 [05]（2025·湖北十堰·三模）Before Pete Adler joined the Army, he majored in architecture. Now, after spending 25years in equipment maintenance and supply, and another 17 years as a civilian employee, Adler is back to his architectural roots. And it’s for a good cause: building free ramps (坡道) for his senior and disabled neighbors. Adler began helping his neighbors after the nonprofit project: HOMES gave a presentation at his local Rotary Club. Adler recalls the representative saying — “Too many seniors and disabled individuals need ramps, but they can’t afford them.” That’s when Adler reached out to his friends so that they could start building ramps for neighbors in need. “I feel this is my calling, and I’d like to start a crew,” he told his friend Karen Scott, who was eager to jump in and help. Adler’s group of volunteers has only grown with time. Now when he pulls up to a house for an installation, he has about a dozen people by his side to transport lumber (木材), work the saws, and assemble the deck. “It’s turned into an amazing service,” said Adler. “I really enjoy the process and the teamwork, and figuring out the best solution for people in need.” When a recipient (接收者) can afford it, they are only charged with the cost of the materials. If they can’t cover the cost, project: HOMES steps in to pay the full price. Adler and his team of volunteers have transformed lives by building over 500 accessibility ramps for households in need. Adler has gone from building one ramp per weekend to completing three, sometimes four ramps each week across the Tri-Cities area. 71-year-old Jaunita Barnes is one of the 500 neighbors that Adler has helped through project: HOMES. After a stroke and heart attack, Barnes found it difficult to navigate the stairs with her walker. She was confined to her home for months — getting groceries delivered and calling doctors to her door — until Adler and his team stepped in to help. “Now I can go where I need to go,” said Barnes. “Adler and the others are truly nice.” 1．Why did Adler return to architecture-related work? A．To take on a social responsibility. B．To continue his abandoned business. C．To earn fame from architecture. D．To make up for his neighbors. 2．What motivated Adler to initiate the ramp-building project? A．The Rotary Club’s nonprofit project. B．A personal interest in ramp design. C．A request from his disabled neighbors. D．The struggles the disadvantaged faced. 3．What does the growth of Adler’s volunteer group suggest about the project? A．It has gained recognition and support. B．It proves Adler’s profit has increased. C．It provides opportunity for volunteers. D．It requires professional construction skills. 4．How does Barnes probably feel about the ramps? A．Useful and cheap. B．Helpful and worthy. C．Unique and valuable. D．Costly and complicated. 【答案】1．A 2．D 3．A 4．B 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Adler为老人和残疾人建免费坡道的善举。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段“And it’s for a good cause: building free ramps (坡道) for his senior and disabled neighbors. (而这一次，他是出于一个高尚的目的：为年迈和残疾的邻居们免费修建坡道)”可知，他做这件事是为了承担社会责任，帮助这些有需要的人。故选A。 2．细节理解题。根据第二段“Adler recalls the representative saying — “Too many seniors and disabled individuals need ramps, but they can’t afford them.” That's when Adler reached out to his friends so that they could start building ramps for neighbors in need. (Adler回忆说，当时那位代表说：“太多老年人和残疾人需要坡道，但他们负担不起。”就是在那一刻，Adler联系了他的朋友们，希望一起为有需要的邻居修建坡道)”可知，是弱势群体面临的困难，即需要坡道却负担不起，促使Adler发起了建坡道的项目。故选D。 3．推理判断题。根据第四段“Adler’s group of volunteers has only grown with time. Now when he pulls up to a house for an installation, he has about a dozen people by his side to transport lumber (木材), work the saws, and assemble the deck. (Adler的志愿者团队随着时间不断壮大。现在当他开车来到一户人家安装坡道时，身边通常已有大约十几个人，他们负责搬运木材、操作电锯、组装平台等)”可知，Adler的志愿者团队随着时间不断壮大，说明这个项目得到了越来越多人的认可和支持，大家愿意加入进来帮忙。故选A。 4．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“After a stroke and heart attack, Barnes found it difficult to navigate the stairs with her walker. She was confined to her home for months — getting groceries delivered and calling doctors to her door — until Adler and his team stepped in to help. (中风和心脏病发作后，她使用助行器上下楼梯变得非常困难。几个月来她被困在家中——靠送杂货上门和医生上门看病维持生活，直到Adler和他的团队前来帮助她)”以及最后一段““Now I can go where I need to go,” said Barnes. “Adler and the others are truly nice.” (“现在我可以去我想去的地方了，”Barnes说，“Adler和他的团队真的是太好了。”)”可知，Barnes之前行动不便，生活受很大限制，有了坡道后她能去自己想去的地方，她觉得Adler和其他人很好，说明她认为这些坡道很有帮助且有价值。故选B。 [06]（2025·山东济宁·二模）During my early years, I focused on eye-catching landscape photography. I spent time in the Himalayas, Patagonia and Tasmania and returned with pictures of breathtaking beauty which I thought were “awesome”. But a one-month camping trip to the Menindee lakes along Darling-Baaka in Australia shifted my perspective; Photography is more than taking photos. As I became increasingly familiar with the place, I learned that human activities led to widespread deforestation and drought in the area, resulting in many dead trees. Driving across the region, I recalled that Sydney was blanketed by smoke for months on end as bushfires swept through the east coast. Fortunately, the La Niña weather cycle reached Australia, increasing rainfall and causing the continent’s short-lived rivers to spring back to life. Yet, the image of bushfires stayed with me, and I felt driven to do something. That was when the photo Blaze came into being. I spoke to the local authority, explaining that I hoped to create a “burning” tree as a beacon (灯塔) to draw people’s attention to deforestation. They showed great interest because fire is an integral part of the Australian farming and the natives. I connected a few of the gas canisters (罐) generally used for barbecues to flexible gas lines called “slinkies”, which could be wired up the back of the tree, away from the tree and out of sight of the public. These produced an outline of flames (火焰) when I lit them, as if the tree were on fire. It was lit for 15 seconds while I got the shot, and fire-fighting equipment was prepared. Even though the tree was dead, it was still a vital habitat. But the gas flames did no damage and the insects that lived inside were unharmed. I love that when people look at the photo, they can concretize the delicacy of our natural world while appreciating Blaze. 1．What is the author’s new perception of photography? A．It involves professional skills. B．It should carry deep meanings. C．It requires high-end equipment. D．It should produce beautiful pictures. 2．What inspired the author to create Blaze? A．Local environmental changes. B．Traditional Australian farming. C．Scenery of the Menindee lakes. D．Support from the local authority. 3．Which of the following images best illustrates the photo Blaze? A．B． C． D． 4．What is the photo Blaze intended to be? A．A means of enhancing artistic taste. B．A strategy to beautify the landscape. C．A call to raise public awareness. D．A window to showcase local culture. 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．D 4．C 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者受到气候变化启发，创作了摄影作品来激发人们提高环保意识。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段“But a one-month camping trip to the Menindee lakes along Darling-Baaka in Australia shifted my perspective; Photography is more than taking photos.(但是，在澳大利亚达林-巴卡（Darling-Baaka）沿岸的Menindee湖露营了一个月，改变了我的观点；摄影不仅仅是拍照)”以及第二段“Yet, the image of bushfires stayed with me, and I felt driven to do something. That was when the photo Blaze came into being.(然而，森林大火的画面一直萦绕在我的脑海里，我觉得有必要做点什么。就在那时，火焰照片应运而生)”可知，作者对摄影的新认识是它应该有深刻的含义，而不仅仅是拍照。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据第二段“As I became increasingly familiar with the place, I learned that human activities led to widespread deforestation and drought in the area, resulting in many dead trees. Driving across the region, I recalled that Sydney was blanketed by smoke for months on end as bushfires swept through the east coast.(随着我对这个地方越来越熟悉，我了解到人类活动导致该地区大面积砍伐森林和干旱，导致许多树木死亡。驾车穿越该地区时，我回忆起当森林大火席卷东海岸时，悉尼连续几个月被烟雾笼罩)”可知，当地环境变化激发了作者创作Blaze。故选A。 3．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“I connected a few of the gas canisters (罐) generally used for barbecues to flexible gas lines called “slinkies”, which could be wired up the back of the tree, away from the tree and out of sight of the public. These produced an outline of flames (火焰) when I lit them, as if the tree were on fire. It was lit for 15 seconds while I got the shot, and fire-fighting equipment was prepared.(我把一些通常用于烧烤的煤气罐连接到被称为“弹簧”的柔性天然气管道上，这种管道可以连接在树的后面，远离树，远离公众的视线。当我点燃它们的时候，它们产生了一个火焰的轮廓，就好像那棵树着火了。当我拍摄时，它被点燃了15秒，消防设备也准备好了)”可知，D选项最能说明火焰照片。故选D。 4．细节理解题。根据第二段“As I became increasingly familiar with the place, I learned that human activities led to widespread deforestation and drought in the area, resulting in many dead trees.(随着我对这个地方越来越熟悉，我了解到人类活动导致该地区大面积砍伐森林和干旱，导致许多树木死亡)”“Yet, the image of bushfires stayed with me, and I felt driven to do something. That was when the photo Blaze came into being.(然而，森林大火的画面一直萦绕在我的脑海里，我觉得有必要做点什么。就在那时，火焰照片应运而生)”和第三段“I spoke to the local authority, explaining that I hoped to create a “burning” tree as a beacon (灯塔) to draw people’s attention to deforestation.(我与当地政府进行了交谈，解释说我希望创造一棵“燃烧”的树作为灯塔，以引起人们对森林砍伐的关注)”可知，火焰的照片是呼吁提高公众意识。故选C。 [07]（2025·河北·二模）The Wright brothers’ mother, Susan Catherine Koerner Wright, was an aggressive woman who attended Hartsville College, a rarity in those times. She had grown up on a farm and was very handy with tools. It is said that she could fix practically anything, and she was the one to solve the boys’ early engineering problems. Their father, Bishop Milton Wright, worked long hours on the farm and studied uninterruptedly. The Wright children were expected to work hard. When they were young boys, their father Milton brought home a flying toy: a propeller (螺旋桨) made of bamboo and powered by a rubber band. Fascinated with it, the boys began experimenting with it immediately. Their great curiosity was restrained only by their lack of mechanical know-how. As the boys grew, all mechanical things fascinated them. They were especially interested in bicycles and printing presses. Unfortunately, Susan died in 1889. Later, when the family struggled financially, the brothers dropped out of school and put their hands and minds to work. They published a weekly newspaper and opened a company, selling and repairing bicycles. The business was successful enough to fund their flying experiments. It’s easy to imagine the brothers working long hours on bicycles during the day and assembling propellers, gears and motors in the back workshop in their off time. They spent hours on the beach watching birds glide (滑翔). They made sketches and obsessed over the details of materials, dimensions, rotor spin and weight. Their work continued for more than a decade until they finally developed their dream: an airplane. When it came time to test their first full-scale model in 1903, their father was anchored to the earth with doubts. He couldn’t bear the thought of losing his sons, so he made them promise never to fly together — that is, if their experiment ever got off the ground. 1．What effect did the Wright brothers’ parents have on their interests? A．They raised engineering problems. B．Both of the parents stimulated them. C．Their father blocked their passion. D．Their mother helped them set their goals. 2．What can be inferred about the Wright brothers’ business? A．It failed completely. B．It focused on flying. C．It funded their dream. D．It was barely profitable. 3．What contributed most to the Wright brothers’ success? A．The steady financial support from family. B．The lucky discovery during bicycle repair. C．Their constant innovation and experiments. D．Their experience gained during childhood. 4．Why did Bishop Milton Wright forbid his sons from flying together? A．He feared losing them all at once. B．He thought it was troublesome to fly. C．He doubted their engineering skills. D．He wanted them to focus on studies. 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．C 4．A 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了莱特兄弟在父母的影响下对机械产生兴趣，通过经营生意为飞行实验提供资金，经过十多年的不断努力和实验，最终发明了飞机，以及在测试飞机时父亲对他们的担忧。 1．推理判断题。根据第一段“The Wright brothers’ mother, Susan Catherine Koerner Wright, was an aggressive woman who attended Hartsville College, a rarity in those times. She had grown up on a farm and was very handy with tools. It is said that she could fix practically anything, and she was the one to solve the boys’ early engineering problems. Their father, Bishop Milton Wright, worked long hours on the farm and studied uninterruptedly.(莱特兄弟的母亲苏珊・凯瑟琳・科纳・莱特是一位很有进取心的女性，她曾就读于哈茨维尔学院，这在当时是很少见的。她在农场长大，对工具运用很熟练。据说她几乎能修理任何东西，而且她是解决男孩们早期工程问题的人。他们的父亲，米尔顿・赖特主教，在农场长时间工作，并且不间断地学习)” 和第二段“The Wright children were expected to work hard. When they were young boys, their father Milton brought home a flying toy: a propeller (螺旋桨) made of bamboo and powered by a rubber band. Fascinated with it, the boys began experimenting with it immediately.(莱特家的孩子们被期望努力工作。当他们还是小男孩的时候，他们的父亲米尔顿带回家一个飞行玩具：一个由竹子制成、由橡皮筋驱动的螺旋桨。男孩们对它着迷，立刻开始对它进行实验)” 可知，父母都激发了他们的兴趣。故选B。 2．推理判断题。根据第四段“The business was successful enough to fund their flying experiments.(生意非常成功，足以资助他们的飞行实验)” 可知，莱特兄弟的生意为他们的梦想提供了资金。故选C。 3．推理判断题。根据第四段“They spent hours on the beach watching birds glide (滑翔). They made sketches and obsessed over the details of materials, dimensions, rotor spin and weight. Their work continued for more than a decade until they finally developed their dream: an airplane.(他们花几个小时在海滩上观察鸟儿滑翔。他们画草图，痴迷于材料、尺寸、旋翼旋转和重量等细节。他们的工作持续了十多年，直到他们最终实现了他们的梦想：一架飞机)” 可知，他们不断的创新和实验对他们的成功贡献最大。故选C。 4．细节理解题。根据最后一段“When it came time to test their first full-scale model in 1903, their father was anchored to the earth with doubts. He couldn’t bear the thought of losing his sons, so he made them promise never to fly together—that is, if their experiment ever got off the ground.(1903 年，当他们要测试第一个全尺寸模型时，他们的父亲充满了疑虑。他无法忍受失去儿子的想法，所以他让他们承诺永远不要一起飞行 —— 也就是说，如果他们的实验能够成功起飞的话)” 可知，米尔顿・赖特主教禁止儿子们一起飞行是因为他害怕一下子失去他们。故选A。 [08]（2025·湖北·二模）Helen Clitheroe was 32 when she started doing the steeplechase (障碍赛跑). British Athletics encouraged her to try it because 2008 would be the first time women’s steeplechase was in the Olympics. She had never jumped over barriers before her thirties. In 2010, she competed in both the 1,500m and steeplechase at the Commonwealth Games, which became a turning point. After a few injuries and falling out of love with the steeplechase a little bit, she talked with her coach John Nuttall about her options. They decided to attempt different challenges to focus on longer distances — the 5,000m and 10,000m. In 2011, although they hadn’t planned to compete indoors that season, she was in excellent shape. She won the match in Glasgow, breaking Liz McColgan’s record. Then she set her personal best in the 3,000m at Birmingham. Going into the European Athletics Indoor Championships, she was the fastest runner on paper, but she had come fourth twice before in these championships. Her coach and she discussed race strategy carefully. For the first time, she followed her coach’s advice exactly, staying near the front but not leading until the end. She had never trusted her finishing sprint (冲刺) before, but that day she did. Even though Russian runner Olesya Syreva was close behind, she won her first gold medal. At 37, she became the oldest person to win a European indoor title. Many people had kept asking when she would retire, but this victory proved that older athletes could still succeed. She changed her training as she got older, being more careful with hard training sessions and taking more time to recover. As she says, as long as you take care of your body, you can still run fast. This win was special because it came after many years of trying and showed that age shouldn’t limit anyone’s dreams in sports. 1．What motivated British Athletics to suggest the steeplechase to Helen? A．Her running speed. B．Her jumping ability. C．The popularity of the steeplechase. D．The chance to join in the Olympics. 2．What can be inferred from Helen’s conversation with her coach? A．She wanted to retire. B．She lacked confidence. C．She needed new challenges. D．She feared competition. 3．What made Helen successful in the final race according to paragraph 4? A．She read a lot of papers on running. B．She copied one of the Russian runners. C．She trained harder than any other runners. D．She followed her coach’s race arrangements. 4．What message does the text mainly convey? A．Age is no barrier to success. B．Training methods vary with age. C．Challenge is unavoidable in life. D．Success belongs to those with curiosity. 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．D 4．A 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了海伦·克利瑟罗作为年龄较大的运动员，依然在田径领域取得成功的励志故事。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段“British Athletics encouraged her to try it because 2008 would be the first time women’s steeplechase was in the Olympics.(英国田径协会鼓励她尝试一下，因为2008年将是女子障碍赛跑首次进入奥运会)”可知，参加奥运会的机会促使英国田径队向海伦建议参加障碍赛。故选D。 2．推理判断题。根据第二段“After a few injuries and falling out of love with the steeplechase a little bit, she talked with her coach John Nuttall about her options. They decided to attempt different challenges to focus on longer distances — the 5,000m and 10,000m.(在几次受伤，并对障碍赛跑有点失去兴趣后，她与教练约翰·纳托尔讨论了她的选择。他们决定尝试不同的挑战，专注于更长的距离——5000米和10000米)”可知，从海伦和她教练的对话中可以推断出她需要新的挑战。故选C。 3．细节理解题。根据第四段“For the first time, she followed her coach’s advice exactly, staying near the front but not leading until the end.(这一次，她完全听从了教练的建议，保持在前面，但直到最后才领先。)”可知，听从了教练的比赛安排让海伦在最后的比赛中取得了成功。故选D。 4．推理判断题。根据最后一段“At 37, she became the oldest person to win a European indoor title.(37岁时，她成为赢得欧洲室内田径锦标赛冠军年龄最大的人)”和“This win was special because it came after many years of trying and showed that age shouldn’t limit anyone’s dreams in sports.(这次胜利很特别，因为它是经过多年努力才取得的，表明年龄不应限制任何人在体育方面的梦想)”可推知，这篇文章主要传达了年龄不是成功的障碍这一信息。故选A。 [09]（2025·浙江宁波·二模）My fingers trembled as I signed the pre-medical application form. The watercolor brushes on my desk stared back at me like abandoned friends. I’m Lora, an 18-year-old who secretly drew brain diagrams on napkins while classmates drew cartoons. “Art feeds the soul but starves the body,” Mom always said. Her words haunted me as my biology textbooks slowly buried my drawing pads. Then came the school career fair that changed everything. Dr. Eleanor Whitman from Harvard asked us to list our “hidden skills”. My hand shook as I wrote “observing details”—something I’d learned from painting flower petals. “That’s medical research’s most needed skill!” she exclaimed, sharing how a student turned microbiology notes into textbook illustrations. My lab partner whispered, “Remember our photosynthesis (光合作用) comic?” For the first time, my two worlds didn’t feel so separate. The real surprise came during hospital volunteering. Watching surgeries, I noticed something—the steady hands of doctors reminded me of my brushwork. When a boy struggled to describe his pain, I drew a fire-breathing dragon on his cast. “You made medicine speak,” the nurse said. Slowly, my drawing pads filled with cells that looked like colored-glass art and X-rays arranged like abstract paintings. Mr. Dawson, our career counselor, helped connect these dots. On his whiteboard, my medical knowledge and art skills overlapped in a bright yellow circle labeled “Medical Illustration”. He showed me job listings I never knew existed—graphic designers for science apps, 3D modelers for anatomy (解剖) classes. “Your ‘impractical’ skill makes you stand out,” he said, pointing to my dragon drawing now used in pain management workshops. Today, my microscope and paintbrushes share the same desk. The same hands that once hesitated between them now create 3D models of viruses for vaccine education. Sometimes I teach young patients to draw their feelings instead of describing them. My story isn’t about heart and reality canceling each other out—they just multiply possibilities. 1．What can be inferred about Lora from paragraph 1? A．She had given up the hobby of drawing. B．She was excited about studying medicine. C．She felt torn between art and medical study. D．She regretted not practicing painting earlier. 2．Dr. Eleanor thought of Lora’ s “hidden skills” as ______. A．a plus. B．a leisure. C．a distraction. D．a burden. 3．How did Lora’s hospital experience influence her? A．It helped develop her surgical skills. B．It directed her toward doctor training. C．It boosted her enthusiasm for abstract art. D．It convinced her of art’s role in healthcare. 4．What message does the author want to convey? A．Follow the beaten track to success. B．A picture is worth a thousand words. C．Don’t put all your eggs in one basket. D．Two strings to your bow light the way. 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．D 4．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了 Lora 在艺术和医学学习之间感到纠结，后来在学校职业招聘会、医院志愿者活动等经历的影响下，发现自己的艺术技能在医疗领域有独特的作用，从而将两者结合起来的故事。 1．推理判断题。根据第一段““Art feeds the soul but starves the body,” Mom always said. Her words haunted me as my biology textbooks slowly buried my drawing pads.(“艺术滋养灵魂，但会饿肚子”妈妈总是这么说。当我的生物课本慢慢把我的画本掩埋时，她的话萦绕在我心头)” 可知，Lora 在艺术和医学学习之间难以抉择，感到很纠结。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据第二段“Dr. Eleanor Whitman from Harvard asked us to list our “hidden skills”. My hand shook as I wrote “observing details”—something I’d learned from painting flower petals. “That’s medical research’s most needed skill!” she exclaimed, sharing how a student turned microbiology notes into textbook illustrations.(哈佛大学的埃莉诺·惠特曼博士让我们列出自己的“隐藏技能”。当我写下“观察细节”时，我的手在颤抖——这是我从画花瓣中学到的。“这是医学研究最需要的技能！”她大声说道，并分享了一个学生如何将微生物学笔记变成教科书插图的故事)” 可知，Dr. Eleanor 认为 Lora 的 “隐藏技能” 是一个优势。故选A。 3．推理判断题。根据第三段“Watching surgeries, I noticed something—the steady hands of doctors reminded me of my brushwork. When a boy struggled to describe his pain, I drew a fire-breathing dragon on his cast. “You made medicine speak,” the nurse said.(在观看手术时，我注意到了一些事情 —— 医生稳定的手让我想起了我的绘画技巧。当一个男孩难以描述他的疼痛时，我在他的石膏上画了一条喷火的龙。护士说：“你让医学有了声音”)” 可推知，Lora 在医院的经历让她确信艺术在医疗保健中有作用。故选D。 4．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Today, my microscope and paintbrushes share the same desk. The same hands that once hesitated between them now create 3D models of viruses for vaccine education. Sometimes I teach young patients to draw their feelings instead of describing them. My story isn’t about heart and reality canceling each other out—they just multiply possibilities.(如今，我的显微镜和画笔共用一张桌子。曾经在它们之间犹豫不决的手，现在为疫苗教育制作病毒的 3D 模型。有时我教年轻的病人画出他们的感受，而不是描述它们。我的故事不是关于内心和现实相互抵消 —— 它们只是增加了可能性)” 可知，文章主要传达了拥有两种技能（艺术和医学知识）可以照亮人生道路，带来更多可能性的信息。所以文章传达了“双管齐下，照亮道路”。故选D。 [10]（24-25高三下·陕西西安·阶段练习）I hadn’t expected any of it to stick. After all, this wasn’t my first time in a ballet studio. But this time around, the exact same things (repetitive nature of exercises at the bar and exhausting body demands) that had made me flee the studio as a 10-year-old now brought a certain sense of joy. And though I’d expected my classes to be physically demanding and my muscles to ache, I hadn’t expected that my teacher’s command to “take up more space” would change my way of being in the world. When I sighed about my lack of grace in the simple act of pointing and extending my foot to the side, my teacher reminded me that ballet isn’t about perfection. Rather, he said, it’s about fighting for perfection. As a writer struggling for sentences all day with the hope that they will approximate the beautiful, perfect construct in the mind, I felt this was the best writing advice I’d ever received. Slowly, I started becoming more comfortable with the body I saw staring back at me in the mirror. My posture still needs adjusting, and my jumps are never as high as they feel on the best of days. But the idea that my body hasn’t become rigid and that it’s still in progress encourages me. If anything, ballet is forcing me to rethink my relationship with my body, and instead of noticing only the beginnings of older age, I now feel amazed at what my body is capable of and the continuous changes I’ve seen as I’ve learned to stand with more confidence and courage. As for the imperfections, they’re part of being alive. Eight years into my ballet classes, I’m what you would call a lifelong advanced beginner. At 50, I am finally a ballerina (芭蕾舞女演员), though not the kind that anybody would pay to see on stage. Why do I continue? Because when I do my daily ballet class, I focus on my breathing and move my body in ways that always challenge me and remind me of everything that is possible. Standing in my living room, I felt every inch a ballerina. 1．What did the author probably think of the ballet class when young? A．Attractive. B．Challenging. C．Well-organized. D．Fast-paced. 2．How did the teacher’s words “take up more space” affect the author? A．They motivated her to write at her own pace. B．They changed her view of ballet as an art form. C．They inspired her to shift her attitude to life. D．They encouraged her to spend more time on ballet. 3．What can we know about the author from the last paragraph? A．She regrets not having started ballet earlier. B．She often performs commercially with others. C．She dreams of being a famous ballerina. D．She values the process over measurable outcomes. 4．What can be the best title for the text? A．Art Mirrors Real Life B．A Ballerina’s Pursuit C．Dancing into Middle Age D．The Necessity of Consistent Practice 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．D 4．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者中年学习芭蕾舞，重塑身体认知并从中感悟人生的经历。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段中“After all, this wasn’t my first time in a ballet studio. But this time around, the exact same things (repetitive nature of exercises at the bar and exhausting body demands) that had made me flee the studio as a 10-year-old now brought a certain sense of joy. (毕竟，这不是我第一次来芭蕾舞工作室。但这一次，那些让我在10岁时逃离工作室的同样的事情（在把杆上重复练习以及身体上令人筋疲力尽的要求）现在却给我带来了一种喜悦感。)”可知，作者年轻时觉得芭蕾舞课具有挑战性且难以坚持，所以逃离了工作室。故选B。 2．推理判断题。根据第二段“And though I’d expected my classes to be physically demanding and my muscles to ache, I hadn’t expected that my teacher’s command to “take up more space” would change my way of being in the world. (虽然我早已料到芭蕾课程会让我身体疲惫、肌肉酸痛，但我没想到老师“占据更多空间”的指令会改变我的处世方式。)”以及最后一段中“Because when I do my daily ballet class, I focus on my breathing and move my body in ways that always challenge me and remind me of everything that is possible. (因为当我上日常芭蕾课时，我会专注于呼吸，用各种方式移动身体，这些方式总是挑战着我，提醒着我一切皆有可能。)”可知，老师的话激励作者以新的方式看待自己，挑战自我，这改变了作者对生活的态度。故选C。 3．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“At 50, I am finally a ballerina (芭蕾舞女演员), though not the kind that anybody would pay to see on stage. Why do I continue? Because when I do my daily ballet class, I focus on my breathing and move my body in ways that always challenge me and remind me of everything that is possible. (50岁时，我终于成为了一名芭蕾舞女演员，尽管不是那种有人愿意花钱在舞台上看到的那种。为什么我要继续？因为当我上日常芭蕾课时，我会专注于呼吸，用各种方式移动身体，这些方式总是挑战着我，提醒着我一切皆有可能。)”可知，作者强调“虽不专业但坚持学习”，作者认为自己在芭蕾舞中获得了内心的成长，她更看重练习的过程，而不是能衡量的结果。故选D。 4．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中“I hadn’t expected any of it to stick. After all, this wasn’t my first time in a ballet studio. But this time around, the exact same things (repetitive nature of exercises at the bar and exhausting body demands) that had made me flee the studio as a 10-year-old now brought a certain sense of joy. (我没想到自己会坚持下来。毕竟，这不是我第一次走进芭蕾舞工作室。但这一次，那些曾让10岁的我逃离工作室的相同事物（把杆练习的重复性以及对体能的极高要求），如今却给我带来了某种快乐。)”以及最后一段中“At 50, I am finally a ballerina (芭蕾舞女演员), though not the kind that anybody would pay to see on stage. (50岁时，我终于成为了一名芭蕾舞女演员，尽管不是那种有人愿意花钱在舞台上看到的那种。)”可知，本文主要讲述了作者人到中年学习芭蕾舞的经历，在这个过程中，作者对芭蕾舞的看法、对人生的态度都发生了转变，所以“Dancing into Middle Age (舞动中年)”最适合作为文章标题。故选C。 [11]（2025·河北唐山·二模）Marcus was born with a rare neurological condition, which impacts his mobility. He was also found to be severely deaf and received cochlear implants (耳蜗植入) at 18 months old. At his childhood home in suburban Sydney, he lovingly tended to a collection of pets: birds, turtles, a rabbit, a lamb, and a dog. “My parents were so open to me having all these strange pets, ” Marcus recalls, his blue eyes shining with happiness. “If you name it, I’ve probably had it. ” But it was weekends spent as a child and teen working on the family farm in Mudgee that set the course of Marcus’s career. On Friday nights, he and his younger sister would sleepily climb into their parents’ car, watching Sydney fade in the mirror as they reached starry, wide-open spaces of rural Mudgee. Marcus’s parents bought the farm as an escape from the city and a place to run cattle and sheep. In the same year Marcus was born, they planted a small vineyard (葡萄园) there. As the grapevines grew and matured, so did Marcus. Despite his disabilities, or perhaps because of them, Marcus developed a tough spirit and a strong sense of optimism. These qualities served him well when he worked as a ringer (畜牧工) on a 4, 000 km2 station in the Northern Territory. He drove a hand-operated car across the land, gathering together the thousands of cattle. “The work is a bit of organised chaos. You bring in some huge herds of cattle, sometimes numbering a few thousand in a herd, stretching out over a couple of kilometres of road, ” he says. “Every thing there is on a huge scale, but I think it helped that I had some experience from my family farm back home. ” In his career, Marcus longs to be a leader in his field. He admits his goals even scare him a bit. “If it doesn’t scare you a little, you’re probably not thinking big enough, ” he explains. “But I also just make the most of every day, because you’re only going to live in this moment once. ” 1．How does Marcus feel when looking back on his suburban Sydney time? A．Regretful. B．Grateful. C．Surprised. D．Humbled. 2．What determines Marcus’s career path? A．His love of Sydney. B．His parents’ dream. C．His upbringing on the farm. D．His connection with his sister. 3．How can we describe Marcus’s work at the station? A．Socially engaging. B．Culturally enriching. C．Financially rewarding. D．Physically demanding. 4．What is the last paragraph mainly about? A．Marcus’s efforts and failure. B．Marcus’s ambition and realism. C．Marcus’s dilemma and response. D．Marcus’s generosity and honesty. 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．D 4．B 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了天生有神经系统疾病且严重失聪的Marcus的成长经历和职业理想。 1．推理判断题。根据第三段““My parents were so open to me having all these strange pets, ” Marcus recalls, his blue eyes shining with happiness.(“我的父母对我养这些稀奇古怪的宠物非常开明，”马库斯回忆道，他蓝色的眼睛闪烁着幸福的光芒。)”可推知，Marcus对父母的支持和开明态度感到感激。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据第四段“But it was weekends spent as a child and teen working on the family farm in Mudgee that set the course of Marcus’s career.(但正是小时候和青少年时期在Mudgee家族农场度过的周末，决定了Marcus的职业道路。)”可知，Marcus在农场的成长经历决定了他未来的职业道路。故选C。 3．推理判断题。根据第六段“These qualities served him well when he worked as a ringer on a 4, 000 km2 station in the Northern Territory. He drove a hand-operated car across the land, gathering together the thousands of cattle.(当他在北领地一个4000平方公里的车站担任畜牧工时，这些品质对他很有帮助。他开着一辆手动汽车穿越这片土地，聚集了成千上万的牛。)”可知，Marcus的工作需要驾驶手动汽车穿越广阔的土地，聚集数千头牛，这表明他的工作对体力要求很高。故选D。 4．主旨大意题。根据最后一段“In his career, Marcus longs to be a leader in his field. He admits his goals even scare him a bit.(在他的职业生涯中，Marcus渴望成为自己领域的领导者。他承认自己的目标甚至让他有点害怕。)”可知，Marcus有雄心壮志；并根据“But I also just make the most of every day, because you’re only going to live in this moment once.(但我也只是充分利用每一天，因为你只会活在这一刻。)”可知，Marcus也有现实主义的态度，即珍惜当下。由此可知，最后一段主要讲述了Marcus的雄心壮志和现实主义。故选B。 [12]（2025·浙江嘉兴·二模）As a freelance (自由职业的) writer, the structure of my workday can often vary wildly. Sometimes, it feels as if I have too much to do — other days, too little. Yet no matter the shape of my 9 to 5, one thing remains constant: emails. About a year ago, I found my email-checking habit had become more distracting (分心的) than usual. When working on my computer, I found myself nervously checking my phone for unread emails whenever hitting a mental block. Even worse, during lunch or walks, that habit of checking would come with me, making my breaks an extension of the workday. The little red dot on my Gmail app had become a marker of my professional image: the more unread emails, the more I felt I was failing. By quickly responding to everyone, I convinced myself I was seen as reliable by my paymasters and therefore worthy of the work I needed to pay my electricity bills, so I could charge my phone, read my emails and carry on the endless cycle. However, speed doesn’t always mean quality. I was always contactable — but at what cost? I took on too much work, not allowing myself space to reflect on the value of my work. The content machine kept running and I was busy, producing “word salad” onto the internet. Something needed to change. After a particularly crazy week of nonstop emailing, I deleted the email app. The difference was immediately noticeable. I began to rest better. Now, my workdays remain unpredictable, but I’ve realised that a lack of structure needn’t stop me setting boundaries (边界) for myself. Uninterrupted breaks help me focus when I get back to work. Taking a few hours to respond to messages — instead of just minutes — often makes no difference to the sender and allows me to digest the content properly. I am still surviving as a freelancer in a fast-paced industry, but now I can spend my time endlessly checking my phone for Instagram stories instead. 1．How did the email-checking habit affect the author? A．It caused him mental disorder. B．It made his breaks less relaxing. C．It kept him extremely impatient. D．It changed the structure of his workday. 2．Why did the author feel the need to respond to emails quickly? A．He wanted to avoid long working hours. B．He sought high pay to cover electricity bills. C．He desired to maintain a professional image. D．He believed multitasking ensured employment. 3．What does the author imply by mentioning “word salad” in paragraph 4? A．He was far from productive. B．He valued quality over quantity. C．His work was creative and tasteful. D．His work lacked meaningful content. 4．What does the author learn after deleting the email app? A．Email senders prefer thoughtful replies. B．Social media is more important than email. C．Setting boundaries can improve work efficiency. D．Freelancers should get used to a fast-paced lifestyle. 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．D 4．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者作为自由职业者改变查邮件习惯后的感悟。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段中“When working on my computer, I found myself nervously checking my phone for unread emails whenever hitting a mental block. Even worse, during lunch or walks, that habit of checking would come with me, making my breaks an extension of the workday. (当我在电脑上工作时，每当遇到思维障碍，我就会紧张地查看手机是否有未读邮件。更糟糕的是，在午餐时间或散步时，查看手机的习惯也会如影随形，让我的休息时间变成了工作日的延伸。)”可知，查看邮件的习惯让作者的休息时间变得不那么放松。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据第三段“The little red dot on my Gmail app had become a marker of my professional image: the more unread emails, the more I felt I was failing. By quickly responding to everyone, I convinced myself I was seen as reliable by my paymasters and therefore worthy of the work I needed to pay my electricity bills, so I could charge my phone, read my emails and carry on the endless cycle. (Gmail应用上的那个小红点已经成了我职业形象的标志：未读邮件越多，我就越觉得自己很失败。通过快速回复每个人，我让自己相信，在雇主眼中我是个可靠的人，因此值得获得那份用来支付电费的工作，这样我就能给手机充电、查看邮件，然后继续这个无尽的循环。)”可知，作者觉得需要快速回复邮件是因为他想维护自己的职业形象。故选C。 3．推理判断题。根据第四段中“I took on too much work, not allowing myself space to reflect on the value of my work. The content machine kept running and I was busy, producing “word salad” onto the internet. (我承担了太多的工作，没有给自己空间去思考我工作的价值。内容机器一直在运转，我很忙，在互联网上制造着“文字沙拉”。)”可推知，作者用“文字沙拉”暗示自己的工作缺乏有意义的内容。故选D。 4．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“Now, my workdays remain unpredictable, but I’ve realised that a lack of structure needn’t stop me setting boundaries (边界) for myself. Uninterrupted breaks help me focus when I get back to work. (现在，我的工作日仍然不可预测，但我已经意识到，缺乏结构并不妨碍我为自己设定界限。不间断的休息有助于我回到工作时集中注意力。)”可知，作者在删除邮件应用后学到了设定界限可以提高工作效率。故选C。 [13]（2025·江西上饶·二模）This story begins ten to twelve years ago. I was in my late twenties and I had bought a secondhand car at a car dealership. For a while, everything seemed fine, but then the car started revealing some issues. First, after about a year, there was a wheel bearing problem (they were worn out) that I had to pay to have them fixed. I was a little annoyed that those got worn out so soon after buying the car, but worse was yet to come. About three years after buying the car, alert lamps started going off on the dashboard. I brought the car into a local workshop, and they diagnosed it as an ABS module failure. Basically, the control unit for the ABS brakes had to be replaced. At this point, I should explain that in my country, we have a very good Consumer Rights law. Among other things, it states that if a product has a longer life expectancy than two years, then you can automatically expect it to last at least five years. If it doesn’t, the seller will be obliged to either repair the item for you or give you your money back. This applies to most items that cost a certain amount of money, and cars are certainly on the list. Knowing this, I decided to contact the dealership to arrange for them to repair the ABS module. I drove for three hours and entered their shop, found the seller, and explained the problem. But the salesperson said, “Sorry, we can’t take responsibility for that.” I went back home and double-checked the law. Then I wrote a very lawyer-like email to the dealership, quoting the correct sections of applicable law, which also specified that the seller of a faulty item needed to repair it with little to no inconvenience or cost to the customer. I would look forward to their reply and then consider my next action. 1．Which was the first problem the author encountered? A．The ABS module failed. B．The wheel bearings were worn out. C．The dashboard alert lamps failed. D．The car’s engine broke down. 2．What is the author’s attitude toward the Consumer Rights law? A．Appreciative. B．Confused. C．Critical. D．Indifferent. 3．What is the author’s reaction to the salesperson’s reply? A．The author gave up and accepted the situation. B．The author sold the car to avoid further inconvenience. C．The author researched the law and prepared to defend his rights. D．The author decided to take legal action without further communication. 4．What might the author continue talking about? A．The reply from the dealership. B．The process of selling the car. C．The reason for buying the second car. D．The cost of repairing the wheel bearings. 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．C 4．A 【导语】这是一篇记叙文，文章讲述了作者购买二手车后出现故障维权的故事。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段中“First, after about a year, there was a wheel bearing problem (they were worn out) that I had to pay to have them fixed.(首先，大约一年后，有一个车轮轴承问题（它们磨损了），我不得不花钱修理)”可知，车子出现的第一个问题是车轮轴承磨损了，故选B。 2．推理判断题。根据第四段中“At this point, I should explain that in my country, we have a very good Consumer Rights law.(在这一点上，我应该解释一下，在我的国家，我们有一部非常好的《消费者权益法》)”和最后一段中“Then I wrote a very lawyer-like email to the dealership, quoting the correct sections of applicable law(然后，我给经销商写了一封非常像律师的电子邮件，引用了适用法律的正确章节)”可知，作者将《消费者权益法》描述为“非常好”，并用它来支持自己对抗经销商的立场。这种积极的描述表明作者对《消费者权益法》持赞赏态度，故选A。 3．细节理解题。根据最后一段中“I went back home and double-checked the law. Then I wrote a very lawyer-like email to the dealership, quoting the correct sections of applicable law(我回到家再次确认了法律。然后，我给经销商写了一封非常像律师的电子邮件，引用了适用法律的正确章节)”可知，作者回家后仔细阅读了法律，并写了一封类似律师的信给经销商。这表明作者研究了法律并准备维护自己的权利，故选C。 4．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“I would look forward to their reply and then consider my next action.(我将期待他们的答复，然后考虑我的下一步行动)”可知，作者期待经销商的回信，然后考虑下一步行动。由此推知接下来作者可能会继续谈论经销商的回信，故选A。 [14]（24-25高三下·黑龙江·阶段练习）In Fujian Province, traditional stone houses offer insights into urban evolution and regional culture. Among all the stone houses in Fujian, one that particularly stands out is located in Shamei Village of Xiang’an District in Xiamen. Once deserted, it has been turned into a restaurant called Yellow Stone House by Felix Kraemer, a German graphic designer—who is also the chef. The transformation process presented countless difficulties; however, Kraemer tends to embrace such challenges. For him, new problems also present new learning opportunities. The identities of a designer and a chef may appear at odds, yet Kraemer sees the two professions as highly related. “Both graphic design and cooking are an exercise in creativity,” he explained. It is the creative process that he values. When he first arrived in Xiamen, he taught graphic design at Xiamen University. Later, he was attracted by the quiet environment and distinctive traditional Minnan (southern Fujian) buildings, and decided to open a restaurant to pursue the quiet life he longed for. A western restaurant in a tiny village? Are there any customers? Can the business survive? These are the questions people commonly ask after hearing about Yellow Stone House. From simple sandwiches and salads to hot dishes, from traditional German food to fusion cuisine, from the basic menu to seasonal specials, Kraemer is always trying and learning. “Over time, an increasing number of guests have arrived, and many regular customers have become our friends. I hope this space will serve as a ‘home away from home’ for all guests, and this idea is becoming a reality,” Kraemer said. Now, Yellow Stone House has evolved into a popular gathering spot for international students at Xiamen University, not only due to its hearty cuisine but also owing to the warm and welcoming behavior of its owner. 1．What does Kraemer think of the challenges? A．They are too difficult to handle. B．They are chances for his growth. C．They are not worth his effort. D．They are out of his expectations. 2．What does the underlined phrase “at odds” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A．Completely different. B．Naturally connected. C．Hard to understand. D．Highly valuable. 3．Why did Kraemer open the Yellow Stone House? A．To teach graphic design. B．To promote German culture. C．To lead a peaceful life. D．To invest in local tourism. 4．Which of the following can best describe Kraemer? A．Hesitant and cautious. B．Driven and ambitious. C．Regretful and doubtful. D．Creative and adaptable. 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．C 4．D 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了德国平面设计师Felix Kraemer在福建省厦门市翔安区沙美村将传统石头房改造成餐厅的故事。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段中“The transformation process presented countless difficulties; however, Kraemer tends to embrace such challenges. For him, new problems also present new learning opportunities.( 转型过程中遇到了无数困难；然而，Kraemer倾向于接受这样的挑战。对他来说，新的问题也意味着新的学习机会。)”可知，Kraemer倾向于接受这些挑战，对他来说，新问题也意味着新的学习机会，即他认为这些挑战是他成长的机会。故选B项。 2．词义猜测题。根据第三段中“The identities of a designer and a chef may appear…, yet Kraemer sees the two professions as highly related. “Both graphic design and cooking are an exercise in creativity,” he explained.( 设计师和厨师的身份可能看起来……，但Kraemer认为这两个职业是高度相关的。“平面设计和烹饪都是创造力的锻炼，”他解释说。)”可知，“yet”表示转折，后面说 Kraemer认为这两个职业高度相关，那么前面“at odds”应该表示相反的意思，即设计师和厨师这两个身份看起来 “完全不同”，A 选项“Completely different.(完全不同)”符合语境。故选A项。 3．细节理解题。根据第四段中“Later, he was attracted by the quiet environment and distinctive traditional Minnan (southern Fujian) buildings, and decided to open a restaurant to pursue the quiet life he longed for.( 后来，他被安静的环境和独特的闽南传统建筑所吸引，决定开一家餐厅，追求他渴望的安静生活。)”可知，Kraemer被安静的环境和独特的闽南传统建筑所吸引，决定开一家餐馆来追求他渴望的宁静生活。故选C项。 4．推理判断题。根据第三段中““Both graphic design and cooking are an exercise in creativity,” he explained. It is the creative process that he values.( “平面设计和烹饪都是创造力的锻炼，”他解释说。他看重的是创造的过程。)”可知，他重视创意过程，体现了他的创造性；以及第五段中“From simple sandwiches and salads to hot dishes, from traditional German food to fusion cuisine, from the basic menu to seasonal specials, Kraemer is always trying and learning.( 从简单的三明治和沙拉到热菜，从传统的德国菜到融合菜，从基本菜单到季节性特色菜，Kraemer总是在尝试和学习。)”可知，他不断尝试和学习，从简单食物到热菜，从传统德国食物到融合菜肴等，表现出他的适应性。故选D项。 [15]（2025·广东惠州·一模）Chloe Dalton was taking a winter walk near her farmhouse when she encountered it: a tiny baby hare (野兔) lying curled (蜷缩) up and alone in the middle of a narrow country path. Dalton knew nothing about hares. Yet when she found that the hare hadn’t moved for hours, she decided to take it home and try to save it — despite her fears that by interfering (干扰) she might hurt its ability to return to the wild. Her journey, detailed in her memoir Raising Hare, became an unexpected experiment in coexistence. The book is part of a timely category: true stories about people who open a window into the natural world through intense observation of one wild animal or species, often in their own backyard. It’s fascinating to learn along with Dalton as she looks for information about hares. She searches in books but finds little that’s helpful. She’s led to believe that the hare will remain distant; instead, it comes to feel comfortable, jumping around with her and curling up against her while it sleeps. Yet it also leaves for long stretches beyond her garden wall, returning on its own unpredictable timetable. Dalton has to trust her instincts (直觉). Dalton treated it with respect, refusing to name it or treat it as a pet, and gave it full freedom in her home and garden. She describes the hare’s evolving behavior and body in painterly detail. She notes changes in herself, too, as she adapts to a slower, simpler life. She begins to pay more attention to her wider natural surroundings. She notices natural enemies, and watches the other hares beyond her wall. Raising Hare is an appeal for people to be gentler with other creatures, to allow other creatures the freedom to live naturally. 1．What can be learned about Dalton from the first two paragraphs? A．She enjoyed outdoor activities. B．She showed sympathy for the hare. C．She was an expert in wildlife rescue. D．She ensured the hare returned to the wild. 2．How did Dalton raise the hare? A．Figuring out its daily timetable. B．Maintaining a certain distance from it. C．Training it to obey different commands. D．Allowing it complete access to her home. 3．What change did the experience bring to Dalton? A．Reduced fear of hares. B．Increased interest in nature. C．Adoption of more animals. D．Adaptation to a healthy life. 4．What did the author want to convey by "Raising Hare"? A．The call for respect for nature. B．The importance of wildlife observation. C．The necessity of writing a memoir. D．The challenges of raising wild animals. 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．B 4．A 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Chloe Dalton救助并养育一只小野兔的经历及感悟。 1．推理判断题。根据第一段“Chloe Dalton was taking a winter walk near her farmhouse when she encountered it: a tiny baby hare (野兔) lying curled (蜷缩) up and alone in the middle of a narrow country path. (克洛伊·道尔顿正在她的农舍附近进行冬日散步，这时她遇到了它：一只蜷缩着的小野兔，独自躺在一条狭窄的乡间小路中间。)”以及第二段中“Yet when she found that the hare hadn’t moved for hours, she decided to take it home and try to save it—despite her fears that by interfering (干扰) she might hurt its ability to return to the wild. (然而，当她发现这只野兔几个小时都没动时，她决定把它带回家，试图救它——尽管她担心自己的干涉可能会影响它重返野外的能力。)”可知，道尔顿发现野兔长时间未动，决定将其带回家尝试救助，这体现了她对野兔的同情。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据第五段“Dalton treated it with respect, refusing to name it or treat it as a pet, and gave it full freedom in her home and garden. (道尔顿对它很尊重，拒绝给它起名字，也不把它当作宠物对待，而是让它在家里和花园里完全自由。)”可知，道尔顿给予野兔完全的自由，允许它完全进入她的家。故选D。 3．细节理解题。根据第六段“She begins to pay more attention to her wider natural surroundings. (她开始更加关注她周围更广阔的自然环境。)”可知，道尔顿开始更加关注她周围更广阔的自然环境，这表明她的经历使她对自然的兴趣增加了。故选B。 4．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Raising Hare is an appeal for people to be gentler with other creatures, to allow other creatures the freedom to live naturally.

I was not born into a musical family and neither of my parents learned classical music. There wasn’t much music in my home either. So, how did it all start? The story dates back to the times when I was in kindergarten, which has classical music CDs to offer parents. Thinking that it wouldn’t be a bad idea to get me some music to listen to, my parents ordered them without any ambition of developing an interest in classical music or whatsoever. Without knowing who Bach, Vivaldi and Chopin were or what to expect, I just played the CDs one after one and grew increasingly fond of them. What took place meanwhile was my piano studies, which again exposed me to classical music. But I have to admit the beginner pieces sounded rather uninspired and dull to me. Thanks to YouTube, I was able to explore more than what my first piano teacher offered — from piano to orchestral music, from Bach to Scriabin. Very often, I didn’t practise the pieces my teacher assigned, but the pieces I truly loved! It’s also through the Internet that I discovered one of my piano idols later, Grigory Sokolov. Later on, I became interested in not only the music itself, but also composers and music history. I still remember in a 28-day outdoor program in Australia organized by my high school, we weren’t allowed to use our mobile phones and there wasn’t any piano either. What I could only do was to repeatedly recall Chopin’s Preludes (前奏曲) Op. 28 when walking up the hills. I felt peaceful as usual, but even happier with growing enthusiasm for music. To me, classical music explores the deepest emotions of humanity but can be so humorous as well. The magic of it lies in its ability to cast light on aspects of human conditions and, at the same time, to go beyond the reality. 1．What do we know about the author’s parents? A．They knew nothing about music. B．They had to purchase music CDs. C．They never pushed him to love music. D．They rarely valued his creating talent. 2．What can be inferred from the author’s piano studies? A．Online resources benefited him a lot. B．Music history seemed more inviting. C．He recognized the teacher’s advice. D．The piano classes made him sleepy. 3．Why does the author mention the 28-day outdoor program? A．To stress his eagerness to sing. B．To show his passion for music. C．To complain about its strict rules. D．To prove music’s role in calming. 4．What does the author think of classical music? A．It focuses on poetic lyrics. B．It escapes from the reality. C．It gives insights into life. D．It is a peace-seeking art. 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．B 4．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者是如何成为一名古典音乐爱好者的经历以及对古典音乐的感悟。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段第二句“Thinking that it wouldn’t be a bad idea to get me some music to listen to, my parents ordered them without any ambition of developing an interest in classical music or whatsoever. (我父母认为给我买些音乐听听也不错，就订购了那些古典音乐CD，没有任何要培养我对古典音乐产生兴趣之类的想法。)”可知，作者的父母给作者订购古典音乐CD只是觉得让作者听点音乐不是坏事，并没有培养作者对古典音乐兴趣的意图，也就是他们从未强迫作者去热爱音乐。故选C项。 2．推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Thanks to YouTube, I was able to explore more than what my first piano teacher offered — from piano to orchestral music, from Bach to Scriabin. Very often, I didn’t practise the pieces my teacher assigned, but the pieces I truly loved! It’s also through the Internet that I discovered one of my piano idols later, Grigory Sokolov.(多亏了YouTube，我能够探索比我的第一位钢琴老师所提供的更多的音乐——从钢琴音乐到管弦乐，从巴赫到斯克里亚宾。我经常不练习老师布置的曲子，而是练习我真正喜欢的曲子！也是通过网络，我后来发现了我的钢琴偶像之一，格里戈里・索科洛夫。)” 可知，作者通过YouTube探索到了比老师教的更多的音乐，还通过网络发现了自己的钢琴偶像，这说明在线资源使作者收益颇丰。故选A项。 3．推理判断题。根据第四段“I still remember in a 28-day outdoor program in Australia organized by my high school, we weren’t allowed to use our mobile phones and there wasn’t any piano either. What I could only do was to repeatedly recall Chopin’s Preludes (前奏曲) Op. 28 when walking up the hills. I felt peaceful as usual, but even happier with growing enthusiasm for music.(我还记得在我高中组织的一个为期28天的澳大利亚户外项目中，我们不被允许使用手机，也没有钢琴。我唯一能做的就是在爬山的时候反复回忆肖邦的《前奏曲》作品 28 号。我像往常一样感到平静，但对音乐的热情越来越高，也让我更快乐。)”可知，即使在不能使用手机和没有钢琴的情况下，作者仍然不断回忆古典音乐，并且对音乐的热情更高，这表明了他对音乐的热爱。故选B项。 4．推理判断题。根据最后一段“To me, classical music explores the deepest emotions of humanity but can be so humorous as well. The magic of it lies in its ability to cast light on aspects of human conditions and, at the same time, to go beyond the reality. (对我来说，古典音乐探索了人类最深层的情感，但也可以非常幽默。它的神奇之处在于它能够揭示人类生存状况的各个方面，同时又能超越现实。) ”可知，作者认为古典音乐能够洞察人类的生存状况，也就是使人类对生活有深刻的见解。故选C项。 试卷第2页，共23页 试卷第1页，共23页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 《2025新高考英语考前十天冲刺宝典》 专题10 考前必做阅读理解记叙文突破（名师点津+精准押题）原卷版 技能专区：冲刺备考名师提醒，洞悉高考命题规律，提供高效提分干货 一、阅读理解记叙文细节理解题居多，落实“定位原文”和“同义替换”。 二、阅读理解记叙文重视首尾段作用，尤其是标题概括题和写作意图题。 三、猜词词义题注意运用“代入法”“排除法”从逻辑性和褒贬性出发。 四、文章寓意题选项字面意思和言外之意与文章主旨结合，去伪存真。 五、性格描述题注意原文定位，找到动词或形容词描述，确定最佳答案。 六、标题概括题既要注意文章线索“点睛”作用，还要注意首尾段呼应， 尤其是尾段主旨升华。记叙文标题兼具概括性、新颖性和针对性。 六、规范训练目标：做标记，留痕迹；零失误；限时7分钟/每篇。 押题专区：做好题才有好成绩！练技能，补漏洞，提分数，强信心！ [01]（2025·湖北黄冈·模拟预测）As a little girl, I was crazy about every science and nature channel, loving shows like Planet Earth that let me get up close with a bird-eating tarantula (狼蛛). Although absorbed in wildlife, I was too frightened to go into nature myself. Later when I was in high school, the disconnect became really clear when I collapsed after getting hit in the face by a flying beetle (甲虫). “Hmm. This might cause a problem,” I thought. I considered nature to be an unpredictable and unsafe space for me. Eventually, I turned my interest to microbiology, enjoying the comfortable environment of a lab where dangerous things were contained in test tubes. Then for my Doctor of Philosophy, I joined the lab of a field scientist named Elizabeth Hadly for a project that focused on bats as a source of infectious diseases. When I joined the Hadly lab, everyone else had field experience except me. So I immediately counted myself out when Elizabeth announced a month-long trip to Botswana, but Elizabeth convinced me to go. During our trip to Botswana’s Okavango Delta, when resting one afternoon, I heard our guide Gareth calmly inform us, “There’s an elephant right behind you.” I then noticed a massive male elephant hiding behind a small tree. Gareth explained this elephant was in a period of heightened reproductive signals that could cause aggression (挑衅). We all slowly inched our way back to our car while Gareth was making loud noise shaking a large fallen tree branch at the elephant. “He should be afraid right now. I’m in the safety of this car and I’m still afraid. This is exactly why I shouldn’t be here,” I thought. Looking around, I saw tense faces and realized I wasn’t the only one who was stressed out. At that moment, I realized that feeling afraid didn’t have to disqualify me from being a field scientist. The elephant eventually left. The encounter made me more present, and while my mind was focused on the elephant in front, the one in my head quietly disappeared as well. 1．How did a flying beetle affect the author? A．Her passion for science grew. B．She had negative ideas about nature. C．She enjoyed TV shows more. D．Her curiosity about birds disappeared. 2．Why did the author join the Hadly lab? A．To get field experience. B．To overcome her fear. C．To help with her degree. D．To advocate disease study. 3．How did the other people feel when encountering the elephant? A．Nervous. B．Qualified. C．Inspired. D．Calm. 4．What does the author imply in the last paragraph? A．She centered more on the elephant. B．The guide’s behaviors aggressed her. C．Her stress from work was reduced. D．Her fear of field work got nonexistent. [02]（2025·福建福州·三模）Kristy Gordon’s artistic voice didn’t emerge overnight — it was a year-long process of unlearning perfectionism and rediscovering her creativity. Like many artists, she began by burying her intuition (直觉)under academic expectations. Through strict training in classical techniques, she mastered the rules of “good” painting — only to realize those very rules had become a box. The turning point came after completing her MFA at the New York Academy of Art. Free from the pressure of peer review, Gordon gave herself permission to experiment without judgment. Gordon made a brave decision to step away from public exhibitions for an entire year, which gave her the freedom to explore without worrying about critical reception or commercial success. Without the approaching deadline of an upcoming exhibition, she found herself painting more freely, trying techniques she’d previously considered “too risky” for public display. Gordon rediscovered the pure joy of creating for herself alone. The year away from the spotlight allowed her to develop a body of work that was truly hers, rather than shaped by market trends or academic feedback. As she later recalled, “That year of painting in private was like giving myself permission to be a beginner again. Without an audience, I could make all the ‘mistakes’ that eventually led to my artistic breakthroughs.” The strategy paid off — when she eventually returned to exhibiting, her work showed a new level of confidence and originality that had been formed in that year. Gordon’s journey reveals an insightful truth: An artist’s voice isn’t something to be found, but something to be uncovered. It requires both courage to silence external expectations and patience to hear your own inner creative whisper. As she reflects, “Your most authentic (真实的) work emerges when you stop trying to make art, and start allowing art to make you.” 1．Which best describes Gordon’s previous paintings? A．Impressionistic. B．Conventional. C．Abstract. D．Expressive. 2．How does Gordon start to find her voice? A．She posted paintings online. B．She gave up risky techniques. C．She took diverse art training. D．She kept a free creative space. 3．Which statement best explains Gordon’s comment about “mistakes”? A．Unrestricted creation brings innovation. B．Original art is often rejected by galleries. C．Market trends hold back art development. D．Beginners should hide unsatisfying works. 4．What is Gordon’s understanding of art? A．It is a competition for recognition. B．It should follow strict regulations. C．It is an exploration of inner self. D．It should challenge expectations.

The children, with their warm laughter and rapid rural dialect, formed a tightknit circle that her textbook-perfect Mandarin couldn’t penetrate. During storytelling sessions, little Wenjing would vanish behind towering bookshelves, her small frame swallowed by shadows. Mei’s attempts to engage her with classic tales fell flat, the unfamiliar syllables (音节) bouncing off Wenjing’s silence. The library supervisor explained that many migrant children, having left parents behind in villages, often retreated into solitary worlds — a coping mechanism Mei resolved to understand. One stormy afternoon, rain drummed against the windows as Mei found Wenjing hunched (驼背的) in a dim corner, clutching a pencil. On a sheet of paper, stick figures danced — a round-faced woman, a tiny girl, and a lonely house. “Who’s this?” Mei whispered in halting dialect, stringing together phrases she’d heard from her grandmother. Wenjing’s pencil froze. For the first time, she met Mei’s gaze. “Mama... city... far,” she breathed, tapping the stick woman. Mei noticed calluses (老茧) on Wenjing’s fingertips — marks of long hours helping at her foster family’s vegetable stall, where spoken words mattered less than quick hands. The next day, Mei arrived armed with wordless picture books. They built towers of giggles with finger puppets. staged silent dinosaur battles, and traced star signs on fogged windows. Language became unnecessary — a raised eyebrow, a shared grin, hands shaping imaginary worlds. Wenjing began leaving small drawings in Mei’s bag: a flower after lunch, a star before leaving — each a silent thank you. At the farewell gathering, Wenjing pressed a paper into Mei’s palm. Stained crayon strokes showed two girls, one tall and one small, their joined hands arching into a rainbow that swallowed storm clouds. No translations required. The rainbow’s colors bled outside the lines, just as their friendship had transcended language barriers to paint something brighter. 1．Why did Wenjing initially avoid Mei? A．She feared crowded spaces. B．Mei criticized her drawings. C．Mei’s formal speech felt alien. D．She disliked Mei’s strict rules. 2．The word “halting” in paragraph 2 most likely means . A．loud and clear. B．fluent and natural. C．unique and traditional. D．hesitant and broken. 3．What key development followed the rainy-day interaction? A．Mei organized a dialect class. B．Wenjing stopped attending the library. C．They discovered shared artistic hobbies. D．Verbal language became their main tool. 4．What does the rainbow primarily symbolize? A．Hope for family reunions. B．Expression through colorful art. C．Bond beyond language barriers. D．Progress in communication skills. [04]（2025·河北石家庄·二模）David Feurzeig is a music theory and composition professor who has spent more than fifty years playing the piano. He has performed in famous cities such as Dresden and Paris. Now, he has chosen to use his talent to serve his local community in Vermont. Feurzeig is working on an unusual project called “Play Every Town”. He plans to drive his solar-powered electric car to visit 152 towns in Vermont by the end of 2026. Feurzeig believes that the piano is a unique instrument because it can sound like an entire orchestra. He often says that every performance is a chance to discover something new. He will perform in the towns where concerts are seldom held. These are places where, due to their size and the limited cultural facilities, people rarely have the chance to enjoy live performances. In each town, he will cooperate with local musicians, students, or community groups. Sometimes he will perform on a grand piano in a concert hall, while in other cases he will use an electric keyboard in smaller venues. This approach helps to keep the spirit of music alive in every community he visits. Apart from his passion for music, Feurzeig is deeply concerned about the environment. He has made a reduction in meat consumption and taken steps to lower his carbon footprint. He believes that long-distance touring, which often requires air travel, is unsustainable. By touring only in Vermont, he hopes to make a positive impact on the environment and inspire others to choose more sustainable ways of living. Through his project, Feurzeig combines art and environmental responsibility. His journey not only brings beautiful music to local towns but also promotes the idea that creativity and care for the planet can go hand in hand. His bold initiative inspires local communities and sets a clear example for future generations to follow. 1．What is Feurzeig's main goal of his “Play Every Town” project? A．To bring live music to small towns. B．To compete with other musicians. C．To teach promising music students. D．To show off his musical instruments. 2．Why does Feurzeig keep his musical journey local? A．To promote native culture. B．To reduce his meat consumption. C．To cut transportation expenses. D．To minimize his environmental impact. 3．Which words can best describe Feurzeig? A．Generous and inflexible. B．Ambitious and conservative. C．Highly-skilled and quick-tempered. D．Climate-conscious and community-minded. 4．What is the text mainly about? A．A musician's concert tour. B．A professor's music project. C．The history of Feurzeig's career. D．The effect of tourism on the environment. [05]（2025·湖北十堰·三模）Before Pete Adler joined the Army, he majored in architecture. Now, after spending 25years in equipment maintenance and supply, and another 17 years as a civilian employee, Adler is back to his architectural roots. And it’s for a good cause: building free ramps (坡道) for his senior and disabled neighbors. Adler began helping his neighbors after the nonprofit project: HOMES gave a presentation at his local Rotary Club. Adler recalls the representative saying — “Too many seniors and disabled individuals need ramps, but they can’t afford them.” That’s when Adler reached out to his friends so that they could start building ramps for neighbors in need. “I feel this is my calling, and I’d like to start a crew,” he told his friend Karen Scott, who was eager to jump in and help. Adler’s group of volunteers has only grown with time. Now when he pulls up to a house for an installation, he has about a dozen people by his side to transport lumber (木材), work the saws, and assemble the deck. “It’s turned into an amazing service,” said Adler. “I really enjoy the process and the teamwork, and figuring out the best solution for people in need.” When a recipient (接收者) can afford it, they are only charged with the cost of the materials. If they can’t cover the cost, project: HOMES steps in to pay the full price. Adler and his team of volunteers have transformed lives by building over 500 accessibility ramps for households in need. Adler has gone from building one ramp per weekend to completing three, sometimes four ramps each week across the Tri-Cities area. 71-year-old Jaunita Barnes is one of the 500 neighbors that Adler has helped through project: HOMES. After a stroke and heart attack, Barnes found it difficult to navigate the stairs with her walker. She was confined to her home for months — getting groceries delivered and calling doctors to her door — until Adler and his team stepped in to help. “Now I can go where I need to go,” said Barnes. “Adler and the others are truly nice.” 1．Why did Adler return to architecture-related work? A．To take on a social responsibility. B．To continue his abandoned business. C．To earn fame from architecture. D．To make up for his neighbors. 2．What motivated Adler to initiate the ramp-building project? A．The Rotary Club’s nonprofit project. B．A personal interest in ramp design. C．A request from his disabled neighbors. D．The struggles the disadvantaged faced. 3．What does the growth of Adler’s volunteer group suggest about the project? A．It has gained recognition and support. B．It proves Adler’s profit has increased. C．It provides opportunity for volunteers. D．It requires professional construction skills. 4．How does Barnes probably feel about the ramps? A．Useful and cheap. B．Helpful and worthy. C．Unique and valuable. D．Costly and complicated. [06]（2025·山东济宁·二模）During my early years, I focused on eye-catching landscape photography. I spent time in the Himalayas, Patagonia and Tasmania and returned with pictures of breathtaking beauty which I thought were “awesome”. But a one-month camping trip to the Menindee lakes along Darling-Baaka in Australia shifted my perspective; Photography is more than taking photos. As I became increasingly familiar with the place, I learned that human activities led to widespread deforestation and drought in the area, resulting in many dead trees. Driving across the region, I recalled that Sydney was blanketed by smoke for months on end as bushfires swept through the east coast. Fortunately, the La Niña weather cycle reached Australia, increasing rainfall and causing the continent’s short-lived rivers to spring back to life. Yet, the image of bushfires stayed with me, and I felt driven to do something. That was when the photo Blaze came into being. I spoke to the local authority, explaining that I hoped to create a “burning” tree as a beacon (灯塔) to draw people’s attention to deforestation. They showed great interest because fire is an integral part of the Australian farming and the natives. I connected a few of the gas canisters (罐) generally used for barbecues to flexible gas lines called “slinkies”, which could be wired up the back of the tree, away from the tree and out of sight of the public. These produced an outline of flames (火焰) when I lit them, as if the tree were on fire. It was lit for 15 seconds while I got the shot, and fire-fighting equipment was prepared. Even though the tree was dead, it was still a vital habitat. But the gas flames did no damage and the insects that lived inside were unharmed. I love that when people look at the photo, they can concretize the delicacy of our natural world while appreciating Blaze. 1．What is the author’s new perception of photography? A．It involves professional skills. B．It should carry deep meanings. C．It requires high-end equipment. D．It should produce beautiful pictures. 2．What inspired the author to create Blaze? A．Local environmental changes. B．Traditional Australian farming. C．Scenery of the Menindee lakes. D．Support from the local authority. 3．Which of the following images best illustrates the photo Blaze? A．B． C． D． 4．What is the photo Blaze intended to be? A．A means of enhancing artistic taste. B．A strategy to beautify the landscape. C．A call to raise public awareness. D．A window to showcase local culture. [07]（2025·河北·二模）The Wright brothers’ mother, Susan Catherine Koerner Wright, was an aggressive woman who attended Hartsville College, a rarity in those times. She had grown up on a farm and was very handy with tools. It is said that she could fix practically anything, and she was the one to solve the boys’ early engineering problems. Their father, Bishop Milton Wright, worked long hours on the farm and studied uninterruptedly. The Wright children were expected to work hard. When they were young boys, their father Milton brought home a flying toy: a propeller (螺旋桨) made of bamboo and powered by a rubber band. Fascinated with it, the boys began experimenting with it immediately. Their great curiosity was restrained only by their lack of mechanical know-how. As the boys grew, all mechanical things fascinated them. They were especially interested in bicycles and printing presses. Unfortunately, Susan died in 1889. Later, when the family struggled financially, the brothers dropped out of school and put their hands and minds to work. They published a weekly newspaper and opened a company, selling and repairing bicycles. The business was successful enough to fund their flying experiments. It’s easy to imagine the brothers working long hours on bicycles during the day and assembling propellers, gears and motors in the back workshop in their off time. They spent hours on the beach watching birds glide (滑翔). They made sketches and obsessed over the details of materials, dimensions, rotor spin and weight. Their work continued for more than a decade until they finally developed their dream: an airplane. When it came time to test their first full-scale model in 1903, their father was anchored to the earth with doubts. He couldn’t bear the thought of losing his sons, so he made them promise never to fly together — that is, if their experiment ever got off the ground. 1．What effect did the Wright brothers’ parents have on their interests? A．They raised engineering problems. B．Both of the parents stimulated them. C．Their father blocked their passion. D．Their mother helped them set their goals. 2．What can be inferred about the Wright brothers’ business? A．It failed completely. B．It focused on flying. C．It funded their dream. D．It was barely profitable. 3．What contributed most to the Wright brothers’ success? A．The steady financial support from family. B．The lucky discovery during bicycle repair. C．Their constant innovation and experiments. D．Their experience gained during childhood. 4．Why did Bishop Milton Wright forbid his sons from flying together? A．He feared losing them all at once. B．He thought it was troublesome to fly. C．He doubted their engineering skills. D．He wanted them to focus on studies. [08]（2025·湖北·二模）Helen Clitheroe was 32 when she started doing the steeplechase (障碍赛跑). British Athletics encouraged her to try it because 2008 would be the first time women’s steeplechase was in the Olympics. She had never jumped over barriers before her thirties. In 2010, she competed in both the 1,500m and steeplechase at the Commonwealth Games, which became a turning point. After a few injuries and falling out of love with the steeplechase a little bit, she talked with her coach John Nuttall about her options. They decided to attempt different challenges to focus on longer distances — the 5,000m and 10,000m. In 2011, although they hadn’t planned to compete indoors that season, she was in excellent shape. She won the match in Glasgow, breaking Liz McColgan’s record. Then she set her personal best in the 3,000m at Birmingham. Going into the European Athletics Indoor Championships, she was the fastest runner on paper, but she had come fourth twice before in these championships. Her coach and she discussed race strategy carefully. For the first time, she followed her coach’s advice exactly, staying near the front but not leading until the end. She had never trusted her finishing sprint (冲刺) before, but that day she did. Even though Russian runner Olesya Syreva was close behind, she won her first gold medal. At 37, she became the oldest person to win a European indoor title. Many people had kept asking when she would retire, but this victory proved that older athletes could still succeed. She changed her training as she got older, being more careful with hard training sessions and taking more time to recover. As she says, as long as you take care of your body, you can still run fast. This win was special because it came after many years of trying and showed that age shouldn’t limit anyone’s dreams in sports. 1．What motivated British Athletics to suggest the steeplechase to Helen? A．Her running speed. B．Her jumping ability. C．The popularity of the steeplechase. D．The chance to join in the Olympics. 2．What can be inferred from Helen’s conversation with her coach? A．She wanted to retire. B．She lacked confidence. C．She needed new challenges. D．She feared competition. 3．What made Helen successful in the final race according to paragraph 4? A．She read a lot of papers on running. B．She copied one of the Russian runners. C．She trained harder than any other runners. D．She followed her coach’s race arrangements. 4．What message does the text mainly convey? A．Age is no barrier to success. B．Training methods vary with age. C．Challenge is unavoidable in life. D．Success belongs to those with curiosity. [09]（2025·浙江宁波·二模）My fingers trembled as I signed the pre-medical application form. The watercolor brushes on my desk stared back at me like abandoned friends. I’m Lora, an 18-year-old who secretly drew brain diagrams on napkins while classmates drew cartoons. “Art feeds the soul but starves the body,” Mom always said. Her words haunted me as my biology textbooks slowly buried my drawing pads. Then came the school career fair that changed everything. Dr. Eleanor Whitman from Harvard asked us to list our “hidden skills”. My hand shook as I wrote “observing details”—something I’d learned from painting flower petals. “That’s medical research’s most needed skill!” she exclaimed, sharing how a student turned microbiology notes into textbook illustrations. My lab partner whispered, “Remember our photosynthesis (光合作用) comic?” For the first time, my two worlds didn’t feel so separate. The real surprise came during hospital volunteering. Watching surgeries, I noticed something—the steady hands of doctors reminded me of my brushwork. When a boy struggled to describe his pain, I drew a fire-breathing dragon on his cast. “You made medicine speak,” the nurse said. Slowly, my drawing pads filled with cells that looked like colored-glass art and X-rays arranged like abstract paintings. Mr. Dawson, our career counselor, helped connect these dots. On his whiteboard, my medical knowledge and art skills overlapped in a bright yellow circle labeled “Medical Illustration”. He showed me job listings I never knew existed—graphic designers for science apps, 3D modelers for anatomy (解剖) classes. “Your ‘impractical’ skill makes you stand out,” he said, pointing to my dragon drawing now used in pain management workshops. Today, my microscope and paintbrushes share the same desk. The same hands that once hesitated between them now create 3D models of viruses for vaccine education. Sometimes I teach young patients to draw their feelings instead of describing them. My story isn’t about heart and reality canceling each other out—they just multiply possibilities. 1．What can be inferred about Lora from paragraph 1? A．She had given up the hobby of drawing. B．She was excited about studying medicine. C．She felt torn between art and medical study. D．She regretted not practicing painting earlier. 2．Dr. Eleanor thought of Lora’ s “hidden skills” as ______. A．a plus. B．a leisure. C．a distraction. D．a burden. 3．How did Lora’s hospital experience influence her? A．It helped develop her surgical skills. B．It directed her toward doctor training. C．It boosted her enthusiasm for abstract art. D．It convinced her of art’s role in healthcare. 4．What message does the author want to convey? A．Follow the beaten track to success. B．A picture is worth a thousand words. C．Don’t put all your eggs in one basket. D．Two strings to your bow light the way. [10]（24-25高三下·陕西西安·阶段练习）I hadn’t expected any of it to stick. After all, this wasn’t my first time in a ballet studio. But this time around, the exact same things (repetitive nature of exercises at the bar and exhausting body demands) that had made me flee the studio as a 10-year-old now brought a certain sense of joy. And though I’d expected my classes to be physically demanding and my muscles to ache, I hadn’t expected that my teacher’s command to “take up more space” would change my way of being in the world. When I sighed about my lack of grace in the simple act of pointing and extending my foot to the side, my teacher reminded me that ballet isn’t about perfection. Rather, he said, it’s about fighting for perfection. As a writer struggling for sentences all day with the hope that they will approximate the beautiful, perfect construct in the mind, I felt this was the best writing advice I’d ever received. Slowly, I started becoming more comfortable with the body I saw staring back at me in the mirror. My posture still needs adjusting, and my jumps are never as high as they feel on the best of days. But the idea that my body hasn’t become rigid and that it’s still in progress encourages me. If anything, ballet is forcing me to rethink my relationship with my body, and instead of noticing only the beginnings of older age, I now feel amazed at what my body is capable of and the continuous changes I’ve seen as I’ve learned to stand with more confidence and courage. As for the imperfections, they’re part of being alive. Eight years into my ballet classes, I’m what you would call a lifelong advanced beginner. At 50, I am finally a ballerina (芭蕾舞女演员), though not the kind that anybody would pay to see on stage. Why do I continue? Because when I do my daily ballet class, I focus on my breathing and move my body in ways that always challenge me and remind me of everything that is possible. Standing in my living room, I felt every inch a ballerina. 1．What did the author probably think of the ballet class when young? A．Attractive. B．Challenging. C．Well-organized. D．Fast-paced. 2．How did the teacher’s words “take up more space” affect the author? A．They motivated her to write at her own pace. B．They changed her view of ballet as an art form. C．They inspired her to shift her attitude to life. D．They encouraged her to spend more time on ballet. 3．What can we know about the author from the last paragraph? A．She regrets not having started ballet earlier. B．She often performs commercially with others. C．She dreams of being a famous ballerina. D．She values the process over measurable outcomes. 4．What can be the best title for the text? A．Art Mirrors Real Life B．A Ballerina’s Pursuit C．Dancing into Middle Age D．The Necessity of Consistent Practice [11]（2025·河北唐山·二模）Marcus was born with a rare neurological condition, which impacts his mobility. He was also found to be severely deaf and received cochlear implants (耳蜗植入) at 18 months old. At his childhood home in suburban Sydney, he lovingly tended to a collection of pets: birds, turtles, a rabbit, a lamb, and a dog. “My parents were so open to me having all these strange pets, ” Marcus recalls, his blue eyes shining with happiness. “If you name it, I’ve probably had it. ” But it was weekends spent as a child and teen working on the family farm in Mudgee that set the course of Marcus’s career. On Friday nights, he and his younger sister would sleepily climb into their parents’ car, watching Sydney fade in the mirror as they reached starry, wide-open spaces of rural Mudgee. Marcus’s parents bought the farm as an escape from the city and a place to run cattle and sheep. In the same year Marcus was born, they planted a small vineyard (葡萄园) there. As the grapevines grew and matured, so did Marcus. Despite his disabilities, or perhaps because of them, Marcus developed a tough spirit and a strong sense of optimism. These qualities served him well when he worked as a ringer (畜牧工) on a 4, 000 km2 station in the Northern Territory. He drove a hand-operated car across the land, gathering together the thousands of cattle. “The work is a bit of organised chaos. You bring in some huge herds of cattle, sometimes numbering a few thousand in a herd, stretching out over a couple of kilometres of road, ” he says. “Every thing there is on a huge scale, but I think it helped that I had some experience from my family farm back home. ” In his career, Marcus longs to be a leader in his field. He admits his goals even scare him a bit. “If it doesn’t scare you a little, you’re probably not thinking big enough, ” he explains. “But I also just make the most of every day, because you’re only going to live in this moment once. ” 1．How does Marcus feel when looking back on his suburban Sydney time? A．Regretful. B．Grateful. C．Surprised. D．Humbled. 2．What determines Marcus’s career path? A．His love of Sydney. B．His parents’ dream. C．His upbringing on the farm. D．His connection with his sister. 3．How can we describe Marcus’s work at the station? A．Socially engaging. B．Culturally enriching. C．Financially rewarding. D．Physically demanding. 4．What is the last paragraph mainly about? A．Marcus’s efforts and failure. B．Marcus’s ambition and realism. C．Marcus’s dilemma and response. D．Marcus’s generosity and honesty. [12]（2025·浙江嘉兴·二模）As a freelance (自由职业的) writer, the structure of my workday can often vary wildly. Sometimes, it feels as if I have too much to do — other days, too little. Yet no matter the shape of my 9 to 5, one thing remains constant: emails. About a year ago, I found my email-checking habit had become more distracting (分心的) than usual. When working on my computer, I found myself nervously checking my phone for unread emails whenever hitting a mental block. Even worse, during lunch or walks, that habit of checking would come with me, making my breaks an extension of the workday. The little red dot on my Gmail app had become a marker of my professional image: the more unread emails, the more I felt I was failing. By quickly responding to everyone, I convinced myself I was seen as reliable by my paymasters and therefore worthy of the work I needed to pay my electricity bills, so I could charge my phone, read my emails and carry on the endless cycle. However, speed doesn’t always mean quality. I was always contactable — but at what cost? I took on too much work, not allowing myself space to reflect on the value of my work. The content machine kept running and I was busy, producing “word salad” onto the internet. Something needed to change. After a particularly crazy week of nonstop emailing, I deleted the email app. The difference was immediately noticeable. I began to rest better. Now, my workdays remain unpredictable, but I’ve realised that a lack of structure needn’t stop me setting boundaries (边界) for myself. Uninterrupted breaks help me focus when I get back to work. Taking a few hours to respond to messages — instead of just minutes — often makes no difference to the sender and allows me to digest the content properly. I am still surviving as a freelancer in a fast-paced industry, but now I can spend my time endlessly checking my phone for Instagram stories instead. 1．How did the email-checking habit affect the author? A．It caused him mental disorder. B．It made his breaks less relaxing. C．It kept him extremely impatient. D．It changed the structure of his workday. 2．Why did the author feel the need to respond to emails quickly? A．He wanted to avoid long working hours. B．He sought high pay to cover electricity bills. C．He desired to maintain a professional image. D．He believed multitasking ensured employment. 3．What does the author imply by mentioning “word salad” in paragraph 4? A．He was far from productive. B．He valued quality over quantity. C．His work was creative and tasteful. D．His work lacked meaningful content. 4．What does the author learn after deleting the email app? A．Email senders prefer thoughtful replies. B．Social media is more important than email. C．Setting boundaries can improve work efficiency. D．Freelancers should get used to a fast-paced lifestyle. [13]（2025·江西上饶·二模）This story begins ten to twelve years ago. I was in my late twenties and I had bought a secondhand car at a car dealership. For a while, everything seemed fine, but then the car started revealing some issues. First, after about a year, there was a wheel bearing problem (they were worn out) that I had to pay to have them fixed. I was a little annoyed that those got worn out so soon after buying the car, but worse was yet to come. About three years after buying the car, alert lamps started going off on the dashboard. I brought the car into a local workshop, and they diagnosed it as an ABS module failure. Basically, the control unit for the ABS brakes had to be replaced. At this point, I should explain that in my country, we have a very good Consumer Rights law. Among other things, it states that if a product has a longer life expectancy than two years, then you can automatically expect it to last at least five years. If it doesn’t, the seller will be obliged to either repair the item for you or give you your money back. This applies to most items that cost a certain amount of money, and cars are certainly on the list. Knowing this, I decided to contact the dealership to arrange for them to repair the ABS module. I drove for three hours and entered their shop, found the seller, and explained the problem. But the salesperson said, “Sorry, we can’t take responsibility for that.” I went back home and double-checked the law. Then I wrote a very lawyer-like email to the dealership, quoting the correct sections of applicable law, which also specified that the seller of a faulty item needed to repair it with little to no inconvenience or cost to the customer. I would look forward to their reply and then consider my next action. 1．Which was the first problem the author encountered? A．The ABS module failed. B．The wheel bearings were worn out. C．The dashboard alert lamps failed. D．The car’s engine broke down. 2．What is the author’s attitude toward the Consumer Rights law? A．Appreciative. B．Confused. C．Critical. D．Indifferent. 3．What is the author’s reaction to the salesperson’s reply? A．The author gave up and accepted the situation. B．The author sold the car to avoid further inconvenience. C．The author researched the law and prepared to defend his rights. D．The author decided to take legal action without further communication. 4．What might the author continue talking about? A．The reply from the dealership. B．The process of selling the car. C．The reason for buying the second car. D．The cost of repairing the wheel bearings. [14]（24-25高三下·黑龙江·阶段练习）In Fujian Province, traditional stone houses offer insights into urban evolution and regional culture. Among all the stone houses in Fujian, one that particularly stands out is located in Shamei Village of Xiang’an District in Xiamen. Once deserted, it has been turned into a restaurant called Yellow Stone House by Felix Kraemer, a German graphic designer—who is also the chef. The transformation process presented countless difficulties; however, Kraemer tends to embrace such challenges. For him, new problems also present new learning opportunities. The identities of a designer and a chef may appear at odds, yet Kraemer sees the two professions as highly related. “Both graphic design and cooking are an exercise in creativity,” he explained. It is the creative process that he values. When he first arrived in Xiamen, he taught graphic design at Xiamen University. Later, he was attracted by the quiet environment and distinctive traditional Minnan (southern Fujian) buildings, and decided to open a restaurant to pursue the quiet life he longed for. A western restaurant in a tiny village? Are there any customers? Can the business survive? These are the questions people commonly ask after hearing about Yellow Stone House. From simple sandwiches and salads to hot dishes, from traditional German food to fusion cuisine, from the basic menu to seasonal specials, Kraemer is always trying and learning. “Over time, an increasing number of guests have arrived, and many regular customers have become our friends. I hope this space will serve as a ‘home away from home’ for all guests, and this idea is becoming a reality,” Kraemer said. Now, Yellow Stone House has evolved into a popular gathering spot for international students at Xiamen University, not only due to its hearty cuisine but also owing to the warm and welcoming behavior of its owner. 1．What does Kraemer think of the challenges? A．They are too difficult to handle. B．They are chances for his growth. C．They are not worth his effort. D．They are out of his expectations. 2．What does the underlined phrase “at odds” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A．Completely different. B．Naturally connected. C．Hard to understand. D．Highly valuable. 3．Why did Kraemer open the Yellow Stone House? A．To teach graphic design. B．To promote German culture. C．To lead a peaceful life. D．To invest in local tourism. 4．Which of the following can best describe Kraemer? A．Hesitant and cautious. B．Driven and ambitious. C．Regretful and doubtful. D．Creative and adaptable. [15]（2025·广东惠州·一模）Chloe Dalton was taking a winter walk near her farmhouse when she encountered it: a tiny baby hare (野兔) lying curled (蜷缩) up and alone in the middle of a narrow country path. Dalton knew nothing about hares. Yet when she found that the hare hadn’t moved for hours, she decided to take it home and try to save it — despite her fears that by interfering (干扰) she might hurt its ability to return to the wild. Her journey, detailed in her memoir Raising Hare, became an unexpected experiment in coexistence. The book is part of a timely category: true stories about people who open a window into the natural world through intense observation of one wild animal or species, often in their own backyard. It’s fascinating to learn along with Dalton as she looks for information about hares. She searches in books but finds little that’s helpful. She’s led to believe that the hare will remain distant; instead, it comes to feel comfortable, jumping around with her and curling up against her while it sleeps. Yet it also leaves for long stretches beyond her garden wall, returning on its own unpredictable timetable. Dalton has to trust her instincts (直觉). Dalton treated it with respect, refusing to name it or treat it as a pet, and gave it full freedom in her home and garden. She describes the hare’s evolving behavior and body in painterly detail. She notes changes in herself, too, as she adapts to a slower, simpler life. She begins to pay more attention to her wider natural surroundings. She notices natural enemies, and watches the other hares beyond her wall. Raising Hare is an appeal for people to be gentler with other creatures, to allow other creatures the freedom to live naturally. 1．What can be learned about Dalton from the first two paragraphs? A．She enjoyed outdoor activities. B．She showed sympathy for the hare. C．She was an expert in wildlife rescue. D．She ensured the hare returned to the wild. 2．How did Dalton raise the hare? A．Figuring out its daily timetable. B．Maintaining a certain distance from it. C．Training it to obey different commands. D．Allowing it complete access to her home. 3．What change did the experience bring to Dalton? A．Reduced fear of hares. B．Increased interest in nature. C．Adoption of more animals. D．Adaptation to a healthy life. 4．What did the author want to convey by "Raising Hare"? A．The call for respect for nature. B．The importance of wildlife observation. C．The necessity of writing a memoir. D．The challenges of raising wild animals. [16]（2025·湖南·二模）I have to say it is rather uncommon for males of my age to be classical music enthusiasts. I was not born into a musical family and neither of my parents learned classical music. There wasn’t much music in my home either. So, how did it all start? The story dates back to the times when I was in kindergarten, which has classical music CDs to offer parents. Thinking that it wouldn’t be a bad idea to get me some music to listen to, my parents ordered them without any ambition of developing an interest in classical music or whatsoever. Without knowing who Bach, Vivaldi and Chopin were or what to expect, I just played the CDs one after one and grew increasingly fond of them. What took place meanwhile was my piano studies, which again exposed me to classical music. But I have to admit the beginner pieces sounded rather uninspired and dull to me. Thanks to YouTube, I was able to explore more than what my first piano teacher offered — from piano to orchestral music, from Bach to Scriabin. Very often, I didn’t practise the pieces my teacher assigned, but the pieces I truly loved! It’s also through the Internet that I discovered one of my piano idols later, Grigory Sokolov. Later on, I became interested in not only the music itself, but also composers and music history. I still remember in a 28-day outdoor program in Australia organized by my high school, we weren’t allowed to use our mobile phones and there wasn’t any piano either. What I could only do was to repeatedly recall Chopin’s Preludes (前奏曲) Op. 28 when walking up the hills. I felt peaceful as usual, but even happier with growing enthusiasm for music. To me, classical music explores the deepest emotions of humanity but can be so humorous as well. The magic of it lies in its ability to cast light on aspects of human conditions and, at the same time, to go beyond the reality. 1．What do we know about the author’s parents? A．They knew nothing about music. B．They had to purchase music CDs. C．They never pushed him to love music. D．They rarely valued his creating talent. 2．What can be inferred from the author’s piano studies? A．Online resources benefited him a lot. B．Music history seemed more inviting. C．He recognized the teacher’s advice. D．The piano classes made him sleepy. 3．Why does the author mention the 28-day outdoor program? A．To stress his eagerness to sing. B．To show his passion for music. C．To complain about its strict rules. D．To prove music’s role in calming. 4．What does the author think of classical music? A．It focuses on poetic lyrics. B．It escapes from the reality. C．It gives insights into life. D．It is a peace-seeking art. 试卷第14页，共14页 试卷第15页，共15页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
