(重在考查推理判断、主旨大意，兼顾考查细节理解和词义猜测) 01 (2023-2024学年高二下·南京市鼓楼区·期末统考) B On November 2, 2021, my friend Lou messaged me with a challenge: “Amy and I are not buying any new clothes for a year…” My immediate reply was, “Definitely!” This might not be what people who know me would expect. As a child, I once invited a girl to my birthday party just because I had seen her in a beautiful dress. My love for fashion has continued into adulthood. However, I am also aware of the significant issues in the fashion industry: it’s highly polluting. There’s also the problem of waste, with the West often dumping(丢弃)unwanted clothing in other regions. So, when the invitation appeared, it seemed like the perfect opportunity to reset my relationship with clothes. The year pushed me to embrace better habits. I've always enjoyed looking for second-hand items, but when my only pair of trainers broke in an unfixable way, I urgently needed a replacement. The Vinted app helped me find one almost as quickly as buying new. I put more effort into making clothes. You quickly realize the labor involved once you start making shorts by yourself. Besides, removing the ease of buying new pushed me towards fixing instead, though a low point was taking a much-loved pair of shoes to a cobbler(修鞋匠), only to be told it’d be “cheaper to buy new”. Even though the year is officially over, I’m hoping to carry on with what I’ve learned. I’m trying to consume less overall, with a one in, one out’ rule with clothes. I’ve been noting down what clothes I wear each day, and whether I get 30 wears out of it(said to be the amount of times necessary to balance out the carbon emissions(排放)created to make a piece of clothing). These approaches are what work for me. But there are loads of different ways to do a fashion challenge.

If my thin smile didn’t match his smile, it was because I had prayed for a guitar or a piano. Then Dad announced that I would start lessons the following week. One day, I found a violin case. “It’s your father’s.” Mom said. “His parents bought it for him. He got too busy on the farm to play it.” Shortly after, my lessons began with Mr. Zelli. Confirmed I got fine for the first lesson, Dad glowed with hope. Though ordered to practice half an hour every day for a concert, I tried to get out of it. My future seemed to be without playing ball. Sometimes I could hear my friends outside playing heated games. “I don’t want to play a solo,” I shouted to my father. “You didn’t get to play your violin when you were a kid. So why should I?” Dad pointed at me, “Because you can bring people joy. You can touch their hearts. That’s a gift I won’t let you throw away.” He added softly, “Someday you’ll have the chance I never had: you will play the beautiful music for your family. And you’ll understand why you’ve worked so hard.” I had rarely heard Dad speak with such feeling about anything. From then on, I practiced without my parents’ making me. Finally, I finished my solo performing without a mistake. After the concert Mom and Dad came backstage. The way they walked — heads high, faces flushed — I knew they were pleased. As the years went by, I had my own family. I brought the violin to my home and put it in the attic. There it remained a dusty memory, until one afternoon many years later, my two children discovered it by accident. When I opened the case, they urged, “Play it, play it.” Surprised, I found my skills hadn’t rusted away. Soon the kids were dancing in circles and giggling. Even my wife Terri was laughing and clapping to the beat. I finally knew what it meant to work hard and sacrifice for others. Dad had been right: the most precious gift is to touch the hearts of those who you love. It took me almost 30 years to discover the legacy. 24. What’s the author’s first reaction to the violin? A.

Noticing that the door was open, she entered the library, and was astonished to see the heartwarming scene that people were using it like on a regular day. It was scheduled to be closed for the New Year holiday. The people in the library behaved as usual. Many were sitting reading newspapers, some families were in the children's section and others were searching for books on the computer. It seemed that Elf's colleagues had simply forgotten to lock the door, and because this popular library is usually open on Saturdays. visitors just assumed they could walk in. Elf called to check with her staff team, before announcing to the people present that the library was about to close. Then she expressed her regret for what had been done wrong and caused them a problem. It later turns out that 446 locals visited the city library borrowing a total of 246 books during the day. What's remarkable is that people checked out their books through the library's electronic self-service system, and that to date, all the books have been returned! Many Swedes have reacted positively to this uplifting demonstration of local respect for the library, a center that can be seen as a sign of the community, and what the locals did has strengthened their sense of belonging in their community. Elf says, “Nothing was destroyed. It's amazing that Gothenburgers entered an empty library and treated and so lovingly.” The city leader has even suggested that this unusual Saturday serve as an accidental experiment to analyse the possibility of operating a totally automated library without staff. 24.

I got the news 10 minutes before I was scheduled to be interviewed for a higher position. It was unprofessionally last minute to cancel. But I knew I couldn’t give it my full attention. So, I emailed to explain. The program office r replied immediately, urging me to focus on my family. “The overall goal over the coming weeks is to just be a good daughter,” she said. “We can wait.” Since my mother’s cancer diagnosis(诊断), she has overcome many obstacles, for which we are incredibly grateful. But as the years passed and I mixed my caregiving role with my professional responsibilities, I found myself increasingly falling short at work. I was missing events because I was with her for treatments. I didn’t apply to training because I couldn’t focus. I was making silly mistakes, forgetting things and asking for extensions. I feared I was letting down my colleagues. But in time, I came to feel I was in the right place. As it happens, my research is in a field seeking to assess and improve health care. With my mother’s illness, I suddenly went from studying it in a removed way to being completely, heartbreakingly in the middle of it. Besides the helplessness, stress, and sadness, I found I just couldn’t turn off my research brain, studying her care and texting colleagues with ideas, which reassured me that even though I was currently only giving my career about 50% of attention, I was more engaged than ever with my scientific questions. I also learned that some good could come from allowing the boundaries between my work and life to blur(模糊). I received empathy, understanding and kindness from my program officer and colleagues. I learned how being weak brought out the best in people. I no longer try to predict what will happen next. Instead, I try to focus on my newfound appreciation for the things like friendship, connection, and sometimes unexpected support. And although I sometimes miss the clean boundaries I used to have, I’ve learned to embrace the blurriness. 24. What can be learned from the first paragraph? A.

The creatures’ photographic training was part of an art project commenting on social media use in the modern world. There are 56 known species of rats, which live on every continent except Antarctica. They are intelligent and adaptable, and can learn to complete many different tasks. Partly for these reasons, rats are often used in scientific and medical research. For his project, Lignier took inspiration from B. F. Skinner, a famous psychologist(someone who studies the mind and behavior). Skinner was known for conducting behavior research with animals such as rats and pigeons. He developed a device called an operant(可操作的)conditioning chamber(also called a Skinner box). This box features a bar or lever that can provide a reward, such as food, to animals when they press it. Lignier bought two rats from a pet store and named them Augustin and Arthur, after himself and his brother. He placed them in a tall, transparent(透明的)tower similar to a Skinner box with a camera attached to it. When a rat pressed a button inside the tower, the camera took a picture of the rat and the animal received a bit of sugar as a reward. Each photo was immediately displayed on a screen in front of the rats, “but honestly I don’t think they understood it,” Lignier told The New York Times. Then Lignier changed the device setup so it would not always release sugar on command, instead providing the reward only occasionally. Still, the rats kept pressing the button, and the camera kept snapping pictures. Sometimes the rats received sugar but ignored it to keep pushing the button. Lignier said this was because the excitement of pressing the button had become its own sort of reward. “Every time they push the button, they have pleasure inside their brain,” he told CBC Radio. Lignier said he designed the project to represent the way social media platforms encourage people to keep posting by providing unpredictable rewards such as comments, likes, and attention. As for Augustin and Arthur, Lignier said, “They’re really like performers, you know?” 24. Why did Augustin Lignier teach rats to take selfies? A. To show the wisdom of the rats. B. To do research on animal behavior. C. To make money by selling the photos. D. To carry out a project. 25. What did Lignier base his project on? A. A famous psychologist’s research. B. His own experience with rats. C. The behavior of pigeons. D. The design of a Skinner box. 26. Why did the rats keep pressing the button even when they didn’t get a reward? A. They wanted more sugar. B. They enjoyed taking pictures. C. They liked the attention they received. D. They took pleasure in pressing the button. 27. Which of the following can best describe Lignier? A. Patient. B. Honest. C. Creative. D. Responsible. 06 (2023-2024学年高二下·镇江市八校·期末联考) B I tried not to look down. My palms(手掌)were sweating. All I could concentrate on was the man below who was keeping the ladder steady. The tiny people waved up at me, but I couldn’t see them clearly. When I got to the top, some sort of supernatural force brought my feet to the edge of the platform. I was going to slip off the board. The line holding me was going to break, and I was once again going to be thrown to death. Down was the only direction my eyes would go. I begged to go back down the ladder, but the stupid man tried to convince me. The tiny dots below shouted encouragingly, saying they would run with me as I flew. I was going to slide off that platform. I couldn’t think; the tears stopped my brain. Why wouldn’t he let me go back? The message replayed in my mind, “You’re going to die…” Like a blown-up balloon, I was let go just before it could be knotted at the bottom. I went in every direction, tension escaping from my body as I fell. The breeze hit my face and cooled my sweaty body. I could see clearly now, and I was flying. Today, I am still terrified of heights. It would be nice to say that I conquered my fear and found something I loved. I owe my zip line(飞索)experience to the Englishman who pushed me off the platform. I am grateful for the experience because I love adventure. Trying new things has always appealed to me. Some of the most rewarding experiences I have had, like flying, have come out of conquering what at first appears to be frightening and impossible. While my days of aerial escapades are over, I look forward to the future and the question of fear of flying and will continue to create questions wherever I go. 24.

Taking to the stage in February 2020, Bending launched into a dance and theatre piece accompanied by those all aged over 60. “I was terrified but as soon as we got going, I realized that this was what I had been looking for,” she says. “Moving my body and being surrounded by all these wonderful performers, I felt completely liberated.” Growing up in 1960s Lincolnshire, Bending’s first love was space exploration. Determined to make it into space after witnessing Yuri Gagarin’s Vostok 1 flight as a seven-year-old in 1961, Bending went on to do a PhD at Leicester University and began working at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology on rocket launches. By 1990, she’d had her first child and decided to pause her career to homeschool. Over the next two decades, she homeschooled her other three children until, in 2015, her youngest son departed for university and she found herself with an empty nest at her North Yorkshire home. “It felt as if I was done with working and parenting so it was now time for a new chapter to begin,” she says. Looking back on her childhood hobbies for inspiration during retirement. Bending landed on one memory. “When I was 14 or 15, I played the part of Anitra in a school production and I loved it,” she says. “I remember the joy of dancing.” Bending began researching local performance courses and landed on Leeds Playhouse’s Heydays programme. Every Wednesday morning, she would attend half-day workshops on everything from reading plays aloud to dancing salsa and improvisation(即兴表演). Now 71, Bending has since become so fond of stage work that in 2023 she performed her own one-woman show, The Story of a Rocket Scientist, dramatising her career to an audience of 80 people. She has also more recently become a paid member of the Performance Ensemble, facilitating community outreach programmes to encourage older people to try their hand at taking part in performance. “The whole experience has been exciting, and it’s made me so much more confident,” she says. “People stop seeing you as an individual in your 60s but by getting on stage we can show the world that we still have things to say, experiences to share and a future to work towards.” 24.

Bleeding.” reflects Sia. “They were just walking around just as it was an everyday practice.” It was then that Sia realized their lives were so different from hers. Sia went back home and saw shoes piled up high — many of which hadn’t been worn for months. Then she rushed to distribute them to the children she saw at the building site. Later that year, with the help of her parents and community volunteers, Sia founded Sole Warriors, a charity committed to providing shoes to those in need, whose motto is: “Donate a sole(鞋), save a soul.” The idea quickly grew. After she spread the word with posters, enquiries from people who wanted to help came flooding in. Now in its fifth year, the organization collects used shoes, refurbishes(翻新)it and donates the finished products to people in need. That need is endless. In the world, an estimated 300 million people can’t afford shoes. Of the nearly 24 billion shoes made every year, shockingly more than 90 percent end up in dustbins. In its first distribution, Sole Warriors collected and gave out 700 pairs of shoes. Today that number rises to 28,000 across four countries. But the organization’s growth met with many challenges. When it came to looking for a company that would do the refurbishments free of charge, Sia faced one barrier after another before finding a partner. “Being a 13-year-old, I did face a lot of prejudice because people were less willing to hear what I say.” says Sia. In recognition of her great influence, Sia was given the Diana Award in 2021. It’s one of the most remarkable honors a young person can receive for social action. But her work isn’t done. “Our goal has always been to touch a million feet,” she says. 24. Why does the author mention Sia’s visit to a construction site? A. To display Sia’s generosity. B. To arouse readers’ sympathy. C. To show the life of construction workers. D. To explain why Sia started Sole Warriors. 25. How does Sole Warriors offer help? A. By urging governments to make joint efforts. B. By donating refurbished shoes to those in need. C. By collecting second-hand shoes from dustbins. D. By searching for companies to make new shoes for free. 26. What difficulty did Sia have in developing the organization? A. Their donation couldn’t meet people’s demand. B.

Although her background was in language and translation, the young Egyptian woman, with her husband’s support, had an idea to create a platform called AI Faraza to provide high-quality fruits and vegetables at competitive prices. After listing 150 products, the platform began offering meat and cheese as well through start-up companies. In 2019, Eman developed the project further into an app that allowed Egyptian women and other small-business owners who sold homemade meals, as well as local farmers, to bring their products to a wider audience. Today, AI Faraza, an Egyptian word that refers to careful and attentive selection, supports Egyptian women in particular, providing them with job opportunities and income to secure decent lives for themselves and their families. They also have access to training opportunities to learn how to best prepare, market and sell homemade food to customers in Egypt through the app. Eman’s idea only became a reality after she heard about the One Million Arab Coders Initiative, which provides online training courses to help Arab youth build and master coding skills so they can pursue jobs in digital technologies and develop their own high-tech projects. She enrolled in the Initiative’s Data Analysis track, where she learned how to transform data into successful ideas. Gaining these skills was a vital step towards the success of AI Faraza, and Eman is proud of the personal growth and achievements she has experienced thanks to the Initiative. Overjoyed at the success of her project, Eman says, “AI Faraza has helped change the lives of 800 Egyptian women, and we will continue to grow and develop our project. We promise that we will expand the app’s reach to be accessible to all Egyptian women, wherever they are, so that we can grow together as one team.” 24. What is the initial purpose of ‘AI Faraza’? A. To fulfil her life purpose. B. To offer cost-effective goods. C. To improve Egyptian women’s status. D. To help the locals promote their products. 25. How did Eman help Egyptians? A.

By spreading professional knowledge to support them. 26. What plays a crucial role in the success of the project? A. Her optimism for the project. B. The training courses to land jobs. C. The skills acquired in the Initiative. D. Her background in language and translation. 27. Which of the following can best describe Eman? A. Responsible and modest. B. Ambitious and diligent. C.

D. and starting my post-doctor, I had grown more competitive. I pushed myself to be t ho first to generate thrilling results and to publish in high-impact journals. Those who could have been collaborators(合作者)became rivals I hated. But the effect of this competitive character was exactly the opposite of what I had hoped for. When I encountered scientific problems, I thought I had to solve them myself instead of asking for help. The pressure became overwhelming. I began to feel alone and lost. I became less and less productive. I emailed my mentors(导师), explaining that I had put myself second and the job first for too long. They told me that I wasn’t the first academic to feel that way, and that I wouldn’t be the last. They agreed that I should take the time I needed to take care of myself. So, with my mentors’ support and an uncertain future, I left. Back home, I spent time with family and friends and opened up about my struggles. At first, I was ashamed. But the more I talked about my demons, the more other people told me about their own. I also started to receive emails from my workmates. After a few lines asking how I was, many expressed worries about how they were managing the stress of academic life. Vulnerable(脆弱的)researchers were poking their heads out of their shells. Our relationships deepened. I began to feel less alone. Three months later, I was prepared to go back to the science that I loved, and I now had a foundation to be more open with my colleagues. I understood that we all struggle sometimes, and that collaboration can be more powerful than competition. With a bit of time, collaboration has replaced competition. Working with others and seeking help doesn’t weaken my value or contributions; it means we can all win. I no longer feel lonely and unhappy. 24. How did the author feel after adopting a competitive approach? A. Empowered and successful. B. Overwhelmed and isolated. C. Motivated and productive. D. Ashamed and annoyed. 25. Why did the writer take a break? A. He was always the last. B. He needed some time to readjust. C. He got serious homesick. D. He failed to care about himself. 26.

Which can be the most suitable title for the passage? A. From competition to cooperation B. From selfishness to selflessness C. From problems to solutions D. From uncertainty to certainty 11 (2023-2024学年高二下·淮安市·期末统考) B My senior year at Westfield High School was supposed to be the best year of my life. Instead,  it turned into a lesson about friendship that I would never forget. My best friend, Emily, and I had been inseparable since middle school. But as graduation approached, the stress of exams and college applications began to weigh heavily on us. Emily and I became distant. I was focused on getting into a top university, while Emily was more interested in enjoying our last year together. Our differing goals led to disagreements, and soon enough, we started to argue over the smallest things. One day, things reached a boiling point. We had a huge fight over a group project. Days turned into weeks, and our friendship seemed beyond repair. We avoided each other at school and stopped sitting together at lunch. Our friends tried to help, but neither of us was willing to make the first move. The silence between us was deafening, and I missed her more than I wanted to admit. It wasn’t until our English teacher assigned us to work together on a final presentation that we were forced to confront each other. At first, we worked in tense silence. But as we spent more time together, the ice began to melt. One evening, as we were finishing up our project, Emily broke the silence. “I miss us,” she said softly. “I miss you, too,” I admitted, feeling a lump in my throat. “I’m sorry for being so hard on you. I just wanted everything to be perfect.” “I’m sorry too,” Emily replied. “I should have been more understanding. We’re both stressed, but we shouldn’t let it ruin our friendship.” We hugged, and at that moment, it felt like a weight had been lifted off my shoulders. On the graduation day, we stood side by side, proud of what we had accomplished and grateful to each other. The experience made our bond stronger, and we knew that no matter where life took us, we would always be there for each other. 24. What caused the initial tension between the author and Emily? A.

The performer is Dong Min, a talented musician born in 1990. After graduating from Minzu University of China with a major in Chinese bamboo flute, Dong registered at the University of New South Wales in Australia in 2015 to study curating(策展)and cultural leadership. Dong quickly found like-minded friends passionate about Chinese traditional instruments. Then, she founded the Sydney Meya Conservatory(音乐学院)of Chinese Music. Dong noticed a lack of awareness of Chinese traditional music in Australia. So, inspired by local performers using Western instruments for street performances, she started street performances with her conservatory members, showing traditional Chinese instruments in Sydney’s Chinatown in 2016. “Street performances offer a direct and visual way for people to experience Chinese music. By bringing it to the streets, we make it accessible to everyone,” she said. As Dong’s performances grew in popularity, snippets(片段)of her shows spread across social media, drawing in a larger audience. With over 1 million followers online, including nearly 150,000 from international platforms, Dong’s influence continues to grow. Apart from her conservatory, Dong also offers online dizi lessons to a global audience and organizes online exchange concerts for her students worldwide. “I hope to create a platform for music enthusiasts to connect and build friendships through their shared love for music,” she said.

He was born in 1857 on a farm near Derry Church, a small Pennsylvania community. Frequent family moves interrupted his schooling and left him with limited education. He only completed the fourth grade. Following a four-year apprenticeship(学徒期)with a Lancaster candy maker, he established his first candy-making business in Philadelphia. That initial effort failed as did his next two attempts in Chicago and New York. However, he never gave up his hope to build up his own business. Returning to Lancaster in 1883, Hershey established the Lancaster Caramel Company, which quickly became an outstanding success. It was this business that established him as a candy maker and set the stage for future achievements. Hershey became fascinated with German chocolate-making machinery exhibited at the 1893 World’s Columbian Exposition. He bought the equipment for his Lancaster plant and soon began producing various chocolate creations. Then in 1900, he sold the Lancaster Caramel Co. in order to focus entirely on his chocolate business. Three years later, Hershey returned to Derry Church to build a new factory. There he could obtain the large supplies of fresh milk needed to perfect and produce fine milk chocolate. Through trial and error, he created his own formula for milk chocolate. In 1903 he began construction on what was to become the world’s largest chocolate plant. After its completion, Hershey's milk chocolate quickly became the first nationally marketed product of its kind. With Milton Hershey’s success came a great sense of social responsibility. Hershey created a completely new community around his factory. He built a model town for his employees that included comfortable homes, an inexpensive public transportation system, a quality public school system and broad cultural opportunities. The town of Hershey continues to be a special place for its residents and a popular at action for millions of visitors each year. Indeed, Milton Hershey's achievements do speak for themselves. 24. What stopped Hershey from having systematic school education? A. His family’s continual relocation. B. His lack of interest in study. C. His failure to meet school requirements. D. His parents’ attaching little value to education. 25. Why did Hershey sell his Lancaster plant? A. The plant had suffered a huge loss. B. The produced candies were of low quality. C. His machinery business needed a lot of money. D. He decided to commit himself to chocolate production. 26. Which of the following best describes Hershey? A. Gentle and open-minded. B. Determined and public-spirited. C. Honest and generous. D. Humorous and creative. 27. What can be the most suitable title for the text? A. Failure is the mother of success. B. Many hands make light work. C. Impossible is nothing to a willing heart. D. Great hopes and good wills make great man. 15 (2023-2024学年高二下·江苏省射阳中学·期末校考) B My friend and I recently took an art class together through our town’s community education program. Our classmates were a mix of ages, stages of life, and experience with making art. We stood out in the class—not for our artistic talent, but for our consistent encouragement of ourselves, each other, and the group. It got me thinking how encouragement had become a routine. It became something of a joke between the two of us to compliment(赞美)each other, offer a positive comment when another student showed his or her work, and generally chat around the table about how fun our project was going. But reflecting back, our positivist was anything but a joke. It was a bright light in my week, a space where I knew I could be surrounded with kindness, gentleness, and positivist. Here’s the most special thing about it; my friend’s and my positive conversation wasn’t just encouraging, it was true. We didn’t go for cheap or false compliments like, “This painting should be in a museum!” Instead, we went for authentic(真实的)expressions of support and encouragement, like, “I love how you did that cloud!” Over time, the class became something of a sacred space, because we had made a habit of using encouraging, supportive language. Sentence-starters like, “I like,” “I appreciate,” “I want to try”,  kept us present, positive, and honest. The encouragement also kept us engaged in the work of making art. I feel sure that I learned more—and practiced more at home—because the activity was shown in such consistently positive terms, grounded in a growth mindset, self-acceptance, and encouragement. Having a friend to share an encouragement habit is fantastic, but you can practice it on your own as well. Compliment yourself in the mirror every morning. Keep a running “great work.” list of thing? you are doing well today. Trust in your ability to find something loving—and true-to comment today and every day. 24. What do we know about the author’s classmates? A. They admired those talented in art. B. They didn’t take art class seriously. C. They were of the same artistic level. D. They were on good terms in the class. 25. How did the classmates turn their class into a sacred space? A. By showing false compliments to others. B. By decorating their class as a museum. C. By displaying abstract art works in the class. D. By offering supportive language around them. 26. What did the author think of the art project? A. It made him hopeful and confident. B. It needed to provide more practice. C. It was cheap and easy to carry out. D. It promoted his communication skills. 27. What is the author’s purpose of writing the text? A. To introduce a community education program. B. To call for good action to support those in need C. To describe how to make encouragement a habit. D. To comment on the power of authentic expressions. / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 专题01 阅读理解(应用文&记叙文)(江苏专用) 说明：语篇标号(ABCD篇)和题目序号(21-35)仿新高考，旨在方便用户组卷。 (接下来的各专题题目序号同样仿新高考，不再加以说明)。 (重在考查细节理解) 01 (2023-2024学年高二下·南京市鼓楼区·期末统考) A Be a Beekeeper fora Day!

As a child, I once invited a girl to my birthday party just because I had seen her in a beautiful dress. My love for fashion has continued into adulthood. However, I am also aware of the significant issues in the fashion industry: it’s highly polluting. There’s also the problem of waste, with the West often dumping(丢弃)unwanted clothing in other regions. So, when the invitation appeared, it seemed like the perfect opportunity to reset my relationship with clothes. The year pushed me to embrace better habits. I've always enjoyed looking for second-hand items, but when my only pair of trainers broke in an unfixable way, I urgently needed a replacement. The Vinted app helped me find one almost as quickly as buying new. I put more effort into making clothes. You quickly realize the labor involved once you start making shorts by yourself. Besides, removing the ease of buying new pushed me towards fixing instead, though a low point was taking a much-loved pair of shoes to a cobbler(修鞋匠), only to be told it’d be “cheaper to buy new”. Even though the year is officially over, I’m hoping to carry on with what I’ve learned. I’m trying to consume less overall, with a one in, one out’ rule with clothes. I’ve been noting down what clothes I wear each day, and whether I get 30 wears out of it(said to be the amount of times necessary to balance out the carbon emissions(排放)created to make a piece of clothing). These approaches are what work for me. But there are loads of different ways to do a fashion challenge. How useful, challenging, or appealing an approach sounds will vary from individual to individual. Whatever you do, roping in friends is recommended. They keep you motivated; they can also share ideas, and possibly clothes! 24. Why did the author accept the challenge of not buying clothes for one year? A. She accepted the challenge to satisfy her friend. B. She was concerned about the threat of fashion industry. C. She thought this would solve the problem of pollution. D. She had had enough of her deep connection with fashion. 25. How did the author feel when told it would be “cheaper to buy new”? A. Shocked. B. Discouraged. C. Frightened. D. Confused. 26. What does the number “30” in paragraph 6 mean? A. The author has been sticking to a 30-item clothing limit. B. A piece of clothing of good quality can be worn at least 30 times. C. The author would wear a piece of clothing 30 times for environmental reasons. D. If a piece of clothing was worn 30 times, no carbon emission would be produced. 27. What is paragraph 7 mainly about?

There’s also the problem of waste, with the West often dumping(丢弃)unwanted clothing in other regions.(然而，我也意识到时尚行业的重大问题：它的高污染。还有一个浪费的问题，西方经常把不需要的衣服倾倒在其他地区)”可知，作者意识到了时尚行业的污染和浪费问题很严重。由此可知，作者接受一年不买新衣服的挑战是因为她担心时装业带给环境的威胁，故选B项。 25. 推理判断题。根据倒数第三段中的“Besides, removing the ease of buying new pushed me towards fixing instead, though a low point was taking a much-loved pair of shoes to a cobbler(修鞋匠), only to be told it’d be “cheaper to buy new”.(此外，买新鞋不再那么容易，促使我转而去修理，尽管有一次我把一双非常喜欢的鞋拿到补鞋店，却被告知“买新鞋更便宜”)”可知，作者拿着鞋子去修补时，修鞋匠却告诉作者买新鞋子更便宜，作者本打算通过修鞋子减少浪费，却听到的是这样的结果，由此可推断，作者听到后会感到有些气馁，故选B项。 26. 词义猜测题。根据划线数字后的“said to be the amount of times necessary to balance out the carbon emissions(排放)created to make a piece of clothing(据说这是平衡制造一件衣服所产生的碳排放所需的时间)”可知，该数字是平衡制造一件衣服所产生的碳排放做需要的时间，也就是把衣服穿30次是为了减少碳排放，保护环境。由此可推断，该数字表示的是出于环境原因，作者会将一件衣服穿30次，故选C项。 27. 主旨大意题。根据第七段中的“These approaches are what work for me. But there are loads of different ways to do a fashion challenge.(这些方法对我很有效。但是有很多不同的方式来挑战时尚)”以及下文具体介绍的挑战时尚的方法和措施可知，本段主要时作者给读者挑战时尚的 02 (2023-2024学年高二下·南京市江宁区·期末统考) B(原卷为C篇) I remember the day Dad first took the violin home, and gathered my mother and me in the living room. If my thin smile didn’t match his smile, it was because I had prayed for a guitar or a piano. Then Dad announced that I would start lessons the following week. One day, I found a violin case. “It’s your father’s.” Mom said. “His parents bought it for him. He got too busy on the farm to play it.” Shortly after, my lessons began with Mr. Zelli. Confirmed I got fine for the first lesson, Dad glowed with hope. Though ordered to practice half an hour every day for a concert, I tried to get out of it. My future seemed to be without playing ball. Sometimes I could hear my friends outside playing heated games. “I don’t want to play a solo,” I shouted to my father. “You didn’t get to play your violin when you were a kid. So why should I?” Dad pointed at me, “Because you can bring people joy. You can touch their hearts. That’s a gift I won’t let you throw away.” He added softly, “Someday you’ll have the chance I never had: you will play the beautiful music for your family. And you’ll understand why you’ve worked so hard.” I had rarely heard Dad speak with such feeling about anything. From then on, I practiced without my parents’ making me. Finally, I finished my solo performing without a mistake. After the concert Mom and Dad came backstage. The way they walked — heads high, faces flushed — I knew they were pleased. As the years went by, I had my own family. I brought the violin to my home and put it in the attic. There it remained a dusty memory, until one afternoon many years later, my two children discovered it by accident. When I opened the case, they urged, “Play it, play it.” Surprised, I found my skills hadn’t rusted away. Soon the kids were dancing in circles and giggling. Even my wife Terri was laughing and clapping to the beat. I finally knew what it meant to work hard and sacrifice for others. Dad had been right: the most precious gift is to touch the hearts of those who you love. It took me almost 30 years to discover the legacy. 24. What’s the author’s first reaction to the violin? A. He smiled and treasured it. B. He was not ready to accept it. C. He disbelieved it. D. He was keen on it. 25. Which of the following can best describe my Dad’s personality? A. Wise and persistent. B. Mean and stubborn. C. Rich and wasteful. D. Reluctant and odd. 26. When did the author understand his father’s message of playing the instrument? A. Before the solo performance. B. With his companions’ tease. C. With his parents’ growing old. D. With his children’s discovery of the instrument. 27. What’s the main idea of the passage? A. The hard way to becoming a musician. B. Losing and getting the sense of music. C. Delighting loved ones is what music is about. D. Music is the cure for pain. 【答案】24. B 25. A 26. D 27.

Noticing that the door was open, she entered the library, and was astonished to see the heartwarming scene that people were using it like on a regular day. It was scheduled to be closed for the New Year holiday. The people in the library behaved as usual. Many were sitting reading newspapers, some families were in the children's section and others were searching for books on the computer. It seemed that Elf's colleagues had simply forgotten to lock the door, and because this popular library is usually open on Saturdays. visitors just assumed they could walk in. Elf called to check with her staff team, before announcing to the people present that the library was about to close. Then she expressed her regret for what had been done wrong and caused them a problem. It later turns out that 446 locals visited the city library borrowing a total of 246 books during the day. What's remarkable is that people checked out their books through the library's electronic self-service system, and that to date, all the books have been returned! Many Swedes have reacted positively to this uplifting demonstration of local respect for the library, a center that can be seen as a sign of the community, and what the locals did has strengthened their sense of belonging in their community. Elf says, “Nothing was destroyed. It's amazing that Gothenburgers entered an empty library and treated and so lovingly.” The city leader has even suggested that this unusual Saturday serve as an accidental experiment to analyse the possibility of operating a totally automated library without staff. 24.

I got the news 10 minutes before I was scheduled to be interviewed for a higher position. It was unprofessionally last minute to cancel. But I knew I couldn’t give it my full attention. So, I emailed to explain. The program office r replied immediately, urging me to focus on my family. “The overall goal over the coming weeks is to just be a good daughter,” she said. “We can wait.” Since my mother’s cancer diagnosis(诊断), she has overcome many obstacles, for which we are incredibly grateful. But as the years passed and I mixed my caregiving role with my professional responsibilities, I found myself increasingly falling short at work. I was missing events because I was with her for treatments. I didn’t apply to training because I couldn’t focus. I was making silly mistakes, forgetting things and asking for extensions. I feared I was letting down my colleagues. But in time, I came to feel I was in the right place. As it happens, my research is in a field seeking to assess and improve health care. With my mother’s illness, I suddenly went from studying it in a removed way to being completely, heartbreakingly in the middle of it. Besides the helplessness, stress, and sadness, I found I just couldn’t turn off my research brain, studying her care and texting colleagues with ideas, which reassured me that even though I was currently only giving my career about 50% of attention, I was more engaged than ever with my scientific questions. I also learned that some good could come from allowing the boundaries between my work and life to blur(模糊). I received empathy, understanding and kindness from my program officer and colleagues. I learned how being weak brought out the best in people. I no longer try to predict what will happen next. Instead, I try to focus on my newfound appreciation for the things like friendship, connection, and sometimes unexpected support. And although I sometimes miss the clean boundaries I used to have, I’ve learned to embrace the blurriness. 24. What can be learned from the first paragraph? A. The author missed an important interview. B. The author gave up her job due to her mother. C. The author failed to get promoted to be a professor. D. The author was blamed for her absence from an interview. 25. How does the author contribute to the work now? A. By writing papers. B. By entirely working remotely. C. By working as a social worker.

Work and life, how do I balance? C. Medical research, why do I care? D. Family or career, which do I choose? 【答案】24. A 25. D 26. B 27. B 【语篇导读】这是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了作者因母亲生病需要在工作和家庭之间做出选择，最终学会了拥抱这种模糊状态，并从中收获了很多。 24. 细节理解题。根据第一段的“My mom was admitted to the ICU. I got the news 10 minutes before I was scheduled to be interviewed for a higher position. It was unprofessionally last minute to cancel.(我妈妈住进了重症监护室。我在预定接受更高职位面试的10分钟前得到了这个消息。取消是不专业的最后一分钟)”可知，作者在面试前十分钟得知母亲住进ICU的消息，虽然取消面试很不专业，但作者还是选择了取消。所以作者错过了一次重要的面试，故选A。 25. 细节理解题。根据第三段的“I found I just couldn’t turn off my research brain, studying her care and texting colleagues with ideas, which reassured me that even though I was currently only giving my career about 50% of attention, I was more engaged than ever with my scientific questions.(我发现我无法关闭我的研究大脑，研究她的护理，并给同事发短信提出想法，这让我放心，尽管我目前只关注我的职业生涯约50%，但我比以往任何时候都更专注于我的科学问题)”可知，作者在研究她母亲的护理时，会给同事们发短信提出自己的想法，这说明作者现在是通过提供第一手资源来贡献自己的工作的，故选D。 26. 推理判断题。根据最后一段的“I also learned that some good could come from allowing the boundaries between my work and life to blur(模糊). I received empathy, understanding and kindness from my program officer and colleagues. I learned how being weak brought out the best in people..(我还了解到，让我的工作和生活之间的界限变得模糊可能会带来一些好处。我从项目官员和同事那里得到了同情、理解和善意。我学会了软弱是如何让人发挥出最好的一面的)”可知，作者意识到脆弱也能激发出人们最好的一面，并开始珍惜友谊、人际关系以及有时意想不到的支持。由此可推知，作者可能会同意“黑暗中总有一丝光明(即每个困难都有好的一面)”的观点，故选B。 27. 主旨大意题。根据最后一段的“I also learned that some good could come from allowing the boundaries between my work and life to blur(模糊).

The creatures’ photographic training was part of an art project commenting on social media use in the modern world. There are 56 known species of rats, which live on every continent except Antarctica. They are intelligent and adaptable, and can learn to complete many different tasks. Partly for these reasons, rats are often used in scientific and medical research. For his project, Lignier took inspiration from B. F. Skinner, a famous psychologist(someone who studies the mind and behavior). Skinner was known for conducting behavior research with animals such as rats and pigeons. He developed a device called an operant(可操作的)conditioning chamber(also called a Skinner box). This box features a bar or lever that can provide a reward, such as food, to animals when they press it. Lignier bought two rats from a pet store and named them Augustin and Arthur, after himself and his brother. He placed them in a tall, transparent(透明的)tower similar to a Skinner box with a camera attached to it. When a rat pressed a button inside the tower, the camera took a picture of the rat and the animal received a bit of sugar as a reward. Each photo was immediately displayed on a screen in front of the rats, “but honestly I don’t think they understood it,” Lignier told The New York Times. Then Lignier changed the device setup so it would not always release sugar on command, instead providing the reward only occasionally. Still, the rats kept pressing the button, and the camera kept snapping pictures. Sometimes the rats received sugar but ignored it to keep pushing the button. Lignier said this was because the excitement of pressing the button had become its own sort of reward. “Every time they push the button, they have pleasure inside their brain,” he told CBC Radio. Lignier said he designed the project to represent the way social media platforms encourage people to keep posting by providing unpredictable rewards such as comments, likes, and attention. As for Augustin and Arthur, Lignier said, “They’re really like performers, you know?” 24. Why did Augustin Lignier teach rats to take selfies? A. To show the wisdom of the rats. B. To do research on animal behavior. C. To make money by selling the photos. D. To carry out a project. 25. What did Lignier base his project on? A. A famous psychologist’s research. B. His own experience with rats. C. The behavior of pigeons. D. The design of a Skinner box. 26. Why did the rats keep pressing the button even when they didn’t get a reward? A. They wanted more sugar. B. They enjoyed taking pictures. C. They liked the attention they received. D. They took pleasure in pressing the button. 27. Which of the following can best describe Lignier? A. Patient. B. Honest. C. Creative. D. Responsible. 【答案】24 D 25. A 26. D 27. C 【语篇导读】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述法国艺术家兼摄影师Augustin Lignier教一对老鼠自拍来研究现代社会社交媒体使用的艺术。 24. 推理判断题。由文章第一段“French artist and photographer Augustin Lignier has taught a pair of rats to take selfies(自拍). The creatures’ photographic training was part of an art project commenting on social media use in the modern world.(法国艺术家兼摄影师Augustin Lignier教一对老鼠自拍。这些生物的摄影训练是一个评论现代社会社交媒体使用的艺术项目的一部分)”可知，Augustin Lignier教老鼠自拍是为了来进行一个项目，故选D项。 25. 细节理解题。由文章第三段“For his project, Lignier took inspiration from B. F. Skinner, a famous psychologist(someone who studies the mind and behavior). Skinner was known for conducting behavior research with animals such as rats and pigeons.(在他的项目中，Lignier从著名心理学家B.F.Skinner(研究思想和行为的人)那里获得了灵感。Skinner以对老鼠和鸽子等动物进行行为研究而闻名)”可知，Lignier的项目是以一位著名心理学家的研究为基础的，故选A项。 26. 推理判断题。由文章第五段“Sometimes the rats received sugar but ignored it to keep pushing the button. Lignier said this was because the excitement of pressing the button had become its own sort of reward.(有时老鼠会接受糖，但有时为了不停地按下按钮而忽略了它。Lignier说，这是因为按下按钮的兴奋感已经成为了它自己的一种奖励)”可知，它们以按下按钮为乐，故选D项。 27. 推理判断题。由文章第五段中“Then Lignier changed the device setup(然后，Lignier改变了装置的设置)”和最后一段“Lignier said he designed the project to represent the way social media platforms encourage people to keep posting by providing unpredictable rewards such as comments, likes, and attention.(Lignier说，他设计这个项目是为了代表社交媒体平台通过提供评论、点赞和关注等不可预测的奖励来鼓励人们继续发帖的方式)”以及上文可知，文章讲述法国艺术家兼摄影师Augustin Lignier教一对老鼠自拍来研究现代社会社交媒体使用的艺术，所以 Lignier非常具有创造力，故选C项。 06 (2023-2024学年高二下·镇江市八校·期末联考) B I tried not to look down. My palms(手掌)were sweating. All I could concentrate on was the man below who was keeping the ladder steady. The tiny people waved up at me, but I couldn’t see them clearly. When I got to the top, some sort of supernatural force brought my feet to the edge of the platform. I was going to slip off the board. The line holding me was going to break, and I was once again going to be thrown to death. Down was the only direction my eyes would go. I begged to go back down the ladder, but the stupid man tried to convince me. The tiny dots below shouted encouragingly, saying they would run with me as I flew. I was going to slide off that platform. I couldn’t think; the tears stopped my brain. Why wouldn’t he let me go back? The message replayed in my mind, “You’re going to die…” Like a blown-up balloon, I was let go just before it could be knotted at the bottom. I went in every direction, tension escaping from my body as I fell. The breeze hit my face and cooled my sweaty body. I could see clearly now, and I was flying. Today, I am still terrified of heights. It would be nice to say that I conquered my fear and found something I loved. I owe my zip line(飞索)experience to the Englishman who pushed me off the platform. I am grateful for the experience because I love adventure. Trying new things has always appealed to me. Some of the most rewarding experiences I have had, like flying, have come out of conquering what at first appears to be frightening and impossible. While my days of aerial escapades are over, I look forward to the future and the question of fear of flying and will continue to create questions wherever I go. 24. How did the author feel when he was on the ladders? A. Exhausted. B. Frightened. C. Annoyed. D. Excited. 25. Why did the Englishman push the author off platform? A. To teach him to fly. B. To push him to death. C. To develop his courage. D. To test his ability to climb. 26. Through the zip line experience, the author learns that ________. A. everyone can enjoy flying well B. trying difficult things is his favorite C. looking back on the old days is awful for him D. something that seems impossible can be conquered 27. What does the underlined phrase “aerial escapades” in Paragraph 5 refer to? A. The author’s zip line experience. B. The author’s difficulty in life. C. The author’s failure in adventure. D. The author’s dreams about his future. 【答案】24. B 25. C 26. D 27. A 【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文。详细叙述了作者体验飞索时的内心活动和感受，从紧张害怕到最终的飞翔，以及这次经历对作者产生的影响。 24. 推理判断题。根据第一段“I tried not to look down. My palms(手掌)were sweating. All I could concentrate on was the man below who was keeping the ladder steady. The tiny people waved up at me, but I couldn’t see them clearly.(我尽量不往下看。我的手掌在冒汗。我能集中注意力的只有下面那个把梯子固定住的人。那些小人儿向我招手，但我看不清他们)”以及第三段“I begged to go back down the ladder, but the stupid man tried to convince me.(我恳求从梯子上下来，但那个愚蠢的人试图说服我)”可知，作者站在梯子上，手心冒汗，不敢往下看，想要从梯子上下来，推知他是害怕的，故选B项。 25. 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Today, I am still terrified of heights. It would be nice to say that I conquered my fear and found something I loved. I owe my zip line(飞索)experience to the Englishman who pushed me off the platform. I am grateful for the experience because I love adventure.(今天，我仍然恐高。如果说我克服了恐惧，找到了自己喜欢的东西，那就太好了。我的飞索体验要归功于那个把我从平台上推下去的英国人。我很感激这次经历，因为我喜欢冒险)”可知，作者自己仍然恐高，但很感激这次飞索经历，因为它帮助自己克服了一开始的恐惧和不可能，暗示了这次经历是为了培养作者的勇气，因此英国人把作者推下平台是为了培养他的勇气，故选C项。 26. 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Some of the most rewarding experiences I have had, like flying, have come out of conquering what at first appears to be frightening and impossible. While my days of aerial escapades are over, I look forward to the future and the question of fear of flying and will continue to create questions wherever I go.(我有过的一些最有意义的经历，比如飞行，就是来自于征服那些起初看起来令人恐惧和不可能的事情。虽然我在空中冒险的日子已经结束了，但我期待着未来，以及对飞行恐惧的问题，无论我走到哪里，我都会继续提出问题)”可知，通过高空滑索的经历，作者了解到一些看似不可能的事情是可以被征服的，故选D项。 27. 词义猜测题。根据前文“I owe my zip line(飞索)experience to the Englishman who pushed me off the platform. I am grateful for the experience because I love adventure. Trying new things has always appealed to me. Some of the most rewarding experiences I have had, like flying, have come out of conquering what at first appears to be frightening and impossible.(我的飞索体验要归功于那个把我从平台上推下去的英国人。我很感激这次经历，因为我喜欢冒险。尝试新事物一直对我很有吸引力。我有过的一些最有价值的经历，比如飞翔，都是在克服最初看起来可怕和不可能的事情之后获得的)”以及前文可知，作者主要讲述了作者体验飞索时的经历，所以根据后文的“are over”可推知，应是“飞索经历”结束了，推知aerial escapades应是指“作者的飞索体验”，故选A项。 07 (2023-2024学年高二下·南通市·期末统考) B At 67, Margaret Bending performed her first professional show. Taking to the stage in February 2020, Bending launched into a dance and theatre piece accompanied by those all aged over 60. “I was terrified but as soon as we got going, I realized that this was what I had been looking for,” she says. “Moving my body and being surrounded by all these wonderful performers, I felt completely liberated.” Growing up in 1960s Lincolnshire, Bending’s first love was space exploration. Determined to make it into space after witnessing Yuri Gagarin’s Vostok 1 flight as a seven-year-old in 1961, Bending went on to do a PhD at Leicester University and began working at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology on rocket launches. By 1990, she’d had her first child and decided to pause her career to homeschool. Over the next two decades, she homeschooled her other three children until, in 2015, her youngest son departed for university and she found herself with an empty nest at her North Yorkshire home. “It felt as if I was done with working and parenting so it was now time for a new chapter to begin,” she says. Looking back on her childhood hobbies for inspiration during retirement. Bending landed on one memory. “When I was 14 or 15, I played the part of Anitra in a school production and I loved it,” she says. “I remember the joy of dancing.” Bending began researching local performance courses and landed on Leeds Playhouse’s Heydays programme. Every Wednesday morning, she would attend half-day workshops on everything from reading plays aloud to dancing salsa and improvisation(即兴表演). Now 71, Bending has since become so fond of stage work that in 2023 she performed her own one-woman show, The Story of a Rocket Scientist, dramatising her career to an audience of 80 people. She has also more recently become a paid member of the Performance Ensemble, facilitating community outreach programmes to encourage older people to try their hand at taking part in performance. “The whole experience has been exciting, and it’s made me so much more confident,” she says. “People stop seeing you as an individual in your 60s but by getting on stage we can show the world that we still have things to say, experiences to share and a future to work towards.” 24. How did Bending view her first professional show? A. It was far from perfect. B. It would bring her fame. C. It would improve her fitness. D. It gave her a sense of freedom. 25. What inspired Bending to take up performing? A. A teenage encounter. B. A space flight broadcast. C. Her homeschooling experience. D. Her long-held dream. 26.

Taking to the stage in February 2020， Bending launched into a dance and theatre piece accompanied by those all aged over 60.(67岁时，Margaret Bending表演了她的第一场职业演出。2020年2月，Bending在60岁以上老人的陪伴下登台表演了一首舞蹈和戏剧作品)”以及文章内容可知，文章讲述了Bending在老年完成了工作和育儿后，开始追求自己的爱好——表演的故事。所以B项One is never too old to start.(一个人从不会老到不能开始)符合语境，故选B项。 08 (2023-2024学年高二下·泰州市·期末统考) B(原卷为A篇) Sia was 13 when she noticed the barefoot children of workers at a construction site. “Their feet were bare. Hard. Dirty. Bleeding.” reflects Sia. “They were just walking around just as it was an everyday practice.” It was then that Sia realized their lives were so different from hers. Sia went back home and saw shoes piled up high — many of which hadn’t been worn for months. Then she rushed to distribute them to the children she saw at the building site. Later that year, with the help of her parents and community volunteers, Sia founded Sole Warriors, a charity committed to providing shoes to those in need, whose motto is: “Donate a sole(鞋), save a soul.” The idea quickly grew. After she spread the word with posters, enquiries from people who wanted to help came flooding in. Now in its fifth year, the organization collects used shoes, refurbishes(翻新)it and donates the finished products to people in need. That need is endless. In the world, an estimated 300 million people can’t afford shoes. Of the nearly 24 billion shoes made every year, shockingly more than 90 percent end up in dustbins. In its first distribution, Sole Warriors collected and gave out 700 pairs of shoes. Today that number rises to 28,000 across four countries. But the organization’s growth met with many challenges. When it came to looking for a company that would do the refurbishments free of charge, Sia faced one barrier after another before finding a partner. “Being a 13-year-old, I did face a lot of prejudice because people were less willing to hear what I say.” says Sia. In recognition of her great influence, Sia was given the Diana Award in 2021. It’s one of the most remarkable honors a young person can receive for social action. But her work isn’t done. “Our goal has always been to touch a million feet,” she says. 24. Why does the author mention Sia’s visit to a construction site? A. To display Sia’s generosity. B. To arouse readers’ sympathy. C. To show the life of construction workers. D. To explain why Sia started Sole Warriors. 25. How does Sole Warriors offer help? A. By urging governments to make joint efforts. B. By donating refurbished shoes to those in need. C. By collecting second-hand shoes from dustbins. D. By searching for companies to make new shoes for free. 26. What difficulty did Sia have in developing the organization? A. Their donation couldn’t meet people’s demand. B. The process of refurbishment was too complicated. C. Her request was rejected by quite a few companies. D. Few people were willing to give away their old shoes. 27. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. Being a socialist is Sia’s dream. B. The Diana Award is awarded annually. C. Sia felt totally satisfied with her social action. D. Sia would not stop her work with Sole Warriors. 【答案】24. D 25. B 26. C 27. D 【语篇导读】本文为一篇记叙文，讲述了13岁的女孩Sia看见建筑工人的孩子们没有鞋子穿后，在父母和社区志愿者的帮助下成立了慈善组织Sole Warriors，致力于为有需要的人提供鞋子。 24. 推理判断题。根据第一段“Sia was 13 when she noticed the barefoot children of workers at a construction site. “Their feet were bare. Hard. Dirty. Bleeding.” reflects Sia. “They were just walking around just as it was an everyday practice.” It was then that Sia realized their lives were so different from hers.(当Sia13岁时，她注意到建筑工地上工人们光着脚的孩子。“他们的脚光着。很硬。很脏。在流血。”Sia想到。“他们只是四处走动，就像日常活动一样。”就在那时，Sia意识到他们的生活与她截然不同)”和第二段“Sia went back home and saw shoes piled up high—many of which hadn’t been worn for months. Then she rushed to distribute them to the children she saw at the building site. Later that year, with the help of her parents and community volunteers, Sia founded Sole Warriors, a charity committed to providing shoes to those in need, whose motto is: “Donate a sole(鞋), save a soul.”(Sia回到家，看到堆得很高的鞋子，其中许多已经好几个月没穿了。然后她赶紧把它们分发给她在建筑工地看到的孩子们。同年晚些时候，在父母和社区志愿者的帮助下，Sia创立了Sole Warriors，这是一家致力于为有需要的人提供鞋子的慈善机构，其座右铭是：“捐赠一只鞋，拯救一个灵魂。”)”可知，Sia在看到那些光着脚的孩子后，意识到他们和她的生活完全不一样，于是回家把自己不穿的鞋送给那些孩子们，并在父母和社区志愿者的帮助下成立了Sole Warriors，致力于为有需要的人提供鞋子。由此可推测出，作者提到Sia去建筑工地这件事是为了解释她成立Sole Warriors慈善组织的原因，故选D。 25. 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Now in its fifth year, the organization collects used shoes, refurbishes(翻新)it and donates the finished products to people in need.(该组织已经成立第五年了，它收集用过的鞋子，进行翻新，并将成品捐赠给有需要的人)”可知，Sole Warriors将翻新过的鞋子捐给有需要的人，故选B。 26. 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“When it came to looking for a company that would do the refurbishments free of charge, Sia faced one barrier after another before finding a partner. “Being a 13-year-old, I did face a lot of prejudice because people were less willing to hear what I say.” says Sia.(当谈到寻找一家愿意免费进行翻新的公司时，Sia在找到合作伙伴之前面临着一个又一个障碍。Sia说：“作为一个13岁的孩子，我确实面临着很多偏见，因为人们不太愿意听到我说的话。”)”可知，Sia在寻求愿意免费翻新鞋子的公司时，遭遇到了许多公司拒绝，故选C。 27. 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“But her work isn’t done. “Our goal has always been to touch a million feet,” she says.(但她的工作还没有完成。“我们的目标一直是触及一百万只脚，”她说)”可推测出，她不会停下Sole Warriors的工作，将会继续为有需要的人提供鞋子，故选D。 09 (2023-2024学年高二下·宿迁市·期末统考) B After having her second child, 35-year-old Eman Wagdy Selim felt that she had a bigger purpose in life. Although her background was in language and translation, the young Egyptian woman, with her husband’s support, had an idea to create a platform called AI Faraza to provide high-quality fruits and vegetables at competitive prices. After listing 150 products, the platform began offering meat and cheese as well through start-up companies. In 2019, Eman developed the project further into an app that allowed Egyptian women and other small-business owners who sold homemade meals, as well as local farmers, to bring their products to a wider audience. Today, AI Faraza, an Egyptian word that refers to careful and attentive selection, supports Egyptian women in particular, providing them with job opportunities and income to secure decent lives for themselves and their families. They also have access to training opportunities to learn how to best prepare, market and sell homemade food to customers in Egypt through the app. Eman’s idea only became a reality after she heard about the One Million Arab Coders Initiative, which provides online training courses to help Arab youth build and master coding skills so they can pursue jobs in digital technologies and develop their own high-tech projects. She enrolled in the Initiative’s Data Analysis track, where she learned how to transform data into successful ideas. Gaining these skills was a vital step towards the success of AI Faraza, and Eman is proud of the personal growth and achievements she has experienced thanks to the Initiative. Overjoyed at the success of her project, Eman says, “AI Faraza has helped change the lives of 800 Egyptian women, and we will continue to grow and develop our project. We promise that we will expand the app’s reach to be accessible to all Egyptian women, wherever they are, so that we can grow together as one team.” 24. What is the initial purpose of ‘AI Faraza’? A. To fulfil her life purpose. B. To offer cost-effective goods. C. To improve Egyptian women’s status. D. To help the locals promote their products. 25. How did Eman help Egyptians? A. By funding locals to expand businesses. B. By providing a platform to increase income. C. By donating daily necessities to secure decent lives. D. By spreading professional knowledge to support them. 26. What plays a crucial role in the success of the project? A. Her optimism for the project. B. The training courses to land jobs. C. The skills acquired in the Initiative. D. Her background in language and translation. 27. Which of the following can best describe Eman? A. Responsible and modest. B. Ambitious and diligent. C. Honest and determined. D. Caring and enterprising. 【答案】24. B 25. B 26. C 27.

D. and starting my post-doctor, I had grown more competitive. I pushed myself to be t ho first to generate thrilling results and to publish in high-impact journals. Those who could have been collaborators(合作者)became rivals I hated. But the effect of this competitive character was exactly the opposite of what I had hoped for. When I encountered scientific problems, I thought I had to solve them myself instead of asking for help. The pressure became overwhelming. I began to feel alone and lost. I became less and less productive. I emailed my mentors(导师), explaining that I had put myself second and the job first for too long. They told me that I wasn’t the first academic to feel that way, and that I wouldn’t be the last. They agreed that I should take the time I needed to take care of myself. So, with my mentors’ support and an uncertain future, I left. Back home, I spent time with family and friends and opened up about my struggles. At first, I was ashamed. But the more I talked about my demons, the more other people told me about their own. I also started to receive emails from my workmates. After a few lines asking how I was, many expressed worries about how they were managing the stress of academic life. Vulnerable(脆弱的)researchers were poking their heads out of their shells. Our relationships deepened. I began to feel less alone. Three months later, I was prepared to go back to the science that I loved, and I now had a foundation to be more open with my colleagues. I understood that we all struggle sometimes, and that collaboration can be more powerful than competition. With a bit of time, collaboration has replaced competition. Working with others and seeking help doesn’t weaken my value or contributions; it means we can all win. I no longer feel lonely and unhappy. 24. How did the author feel after adopting a competitive approach? A. Empowered and successful. B. Overwhelmed and isolated. C. Motivated and productive. D. Ashamed and annoyed. 25. Why did the writer take a break? A. He was always the last. B. He needed some time to readjust. C. He got serious homesick. D. He failed to care about himself. 26. What does the underlined phrase mean? A. Trying to be open with others. B. Starting to walk out regularly. C. Being more confident in research. D. Tending to be happier than ever. 27. Which can be the most suitable title for the passage? A. From competition to cooperation B. From selfishness to selflessness C. From problems to solutions D. From uncertainty to certainty 【答案】24. B 25. B 26. A 27. A 【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文。主要叙述了作者面对科研竞争，在求学及工作中变得过于好强，导致压力倍增、孤立无援。经过休整并与人沟通后，作者认识到合作的力量，重拾科研热情，不再孤单。 24. 推理判断题。由文章第二段“But the effect of this competitive character was exactly the opposite of what I had hoped for. When I encountered scientific problems, I thought I had to solve them myself instead of asking for help. The pressure became overwhelming. I began to feel alone and lost. I became less and less productive.(但这种好胜性格的影响与我所希望的完全相反。当我遇到科学问题时，我认为我必须自己解决，而不是寻求帮助。压力变得势不可挡。我开始感到孤独和失落。我的效率越来越低)”可知，采取竞争方式后，作者感到不堪重负，孤立无援，故选B。 25. 推理判断题。由文章第三段“I emailed my mentors(导师), explaining that I had put myself second and the job first for too long. They told me that I wasn’t the first academic to feel that way, and that I wouldn’t be the last. They agreed that I should take the time I needed to take care of myself. So, with my mentors’ support and an uncertain future, I left.(我给我的导师发了邮件，解释说我把自己放在第二位，把工作放在第一位太久了。他们告诉我，我不是第一个有这种感觉的学者，也不会是最后一个。他们同意我应该花时间照顾好自己。因此，在导师的支持和不确定的未来下，我离开了)”可知，作者需要休息是因为他需要一些时间来调整，故选B。 26. 词义猜测题。由第四段“At first, I was ashamed. But the more I talked about my demons, the more other people told me about their own. I also started to receive emails from my workmates. After a few lines asking how I was, many expressed worries about how they were managing the stress of academic life.(起初，我感到羞愧。但我谈论我的恶魔越多，其他人就越告诉我他们自己的恶魔。我也开始收到同事的电子邮件。在问候了我几句之后，许多人表达了他们对如何应对学术生活压力的担忧)”可知，脆弱的研究者开始向别人敞开心扉，所以划线部分的意思为“试着对他人坦诚相待，向别人敞开心扉”。A. Trying to be open with others尽量与他人坦诚相待；B. Starting to walk out regularly开始定期外出；C. Being more confident in research对研究更有信心；D. Tending to be happier than ever倾向于比以往任何时候都更快乐，故选A。 27. 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是由文章第二段“But the effect of this competitive character was exactly the opposite of what I had hoped for. When I encountered scientific problems, I thought I had to solve them myself instead of asking for help. The pressure became overwhelming. I began to feel alone and lost. I became less and less productive.(但这种好胜性格的影响与我所希望的完全相反。当我遇到科学问题时，我认为我必须自己解决，而不是寻求帮助。压力变得势不可挡。我开始感到孤独和失落。我的效率越来越低)”和最后一段“With a bit of time, collaboration has replaced competition. Working with others and seeking help doesn’t weaken my value or contributions; it means we can all win. I no longer feel lonely and unhappy.(随着时间的推移，合作取代了竞争。与他人合作和寻求帮助并不会削弱我的价值或贡献;这意味着我们都能赢。我不再感到孤独和不快乐)”可知，文章讲述了作者从最初在学术界采取竞争态度导致压力巨大、感到孤独和失去效率，到后来通过与人分享自己的困扰、得到支持并意识到合作的重要性，最终转变为更加开放和合作的态度的过程。因此，“From competition to cooperation(从竞争到合作)”最适合作为本文的标题，故选A。 11 (2023-2024学年高二下·淮安市·期末统考) B My senior year at Westfield High School was supposed to be the best year of my life. Instead,  it turned into a lesson about friendship that I would never forget. My best friend, Emily, and I had been inseparable since middle school. But as graduation approached, the stress of exams and college applications began to weigh heavily on us. Emily and I became distant. I was focused on getting into a top university, while Emily was more interested in enjoying our last year together. Our differing goals led to disagreements, and soon enough, we started to argue over the smallest things. One day, things reached a boiling point. We had a huge fight over a group project. Days turned into weeks, and our friendship seemed beyond repair. We avoided each other at school and stopped sitting together at lunch. Our friends tried to help, but neither of us was willing to make the first move. The silence between us was deafening, and I missed her more than I wanted to admit. It wasn’t until our English teacher assigned us to work together on a final presentation that we were forced to confront each other. At first, we worked in tense silence. But as we spent more time together, the ice began to melt. One evening, as we were finishing up our project, Emily broke the silence. “I miss us,” she said softly. “I miss you, too,” I admitted, feeling a lump in my throat. “I’m sorry for being so hard on you. I just wanted everything to be perfect.” “I’m sorry too,” Emily replied. “I should have been more understanding. We’re both stressed, but we shouldn’t let it ruin our friendship.” We hugged, and at that moment, it felt like a weight had been lifted off my shoulders. On the graduation day, we stood side by side, proud of what we had accomplished and grateful to each other. The experience made our bond stronger, and we knew that no matter where life took us, we would always be there for each other. 24. What caused the initial tension between the author and Emily? A. Conflicts over college applications. B. Differences in academic performance. C. Varied priorities about their final year. D. Different approaches to their group project. 25.

I was focused on getting into a top university, while Emily was more interested in enjoying our last year together.(艾米丽和我变得疏远了。我专注于进入一所顶尖大学，而艾米丽更感兴趣的是享受我们在一起的最后一年)”可知，最后一年的优先事项各不相同导致了作者和艾米丽之间最初的紧张关系，故选C。 25. 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“But as we spent more time together, the ice began to melt. One evening, as we were finishing up our project, Emily broke the silence.(但随着我们在一起的时间越来越长，冰开始融化。一天晚上，当我们正在完成我们的项目时，艾米丽打破了沉默)”可知，一起完成学校的项目使他们恢复了友谊，故选C。 26. 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“We hugged, and at that moment, it felt like a weight had been lifted off my shoulders.(我们拥抱在一起，那一刻，我感觉肩上的重担减轻了)”可知，作者和Emily和好后感觉松了一口气，故选B。 27. 推理判断题。根据最后一段“The experience made our bond stronger, and we knew that no matter where life took us, we would always be there for each other.(这次经历使我们的关系更加紧密，我们知道，无论生活把我们带到哪里，我们都会永远在一起)”结合文章主要讲述了作者和好朋友因为最后一年优先事项各不相同导致了关系紧张，最后通过一起完成学校项目修复了友谊的故事。可知，真正的友谊能经受分歧的考验，故选C。 12 (2023-2024学年高二下·盐城市·期末统考) B South Georgia Medical Center(SGMC)honored a team of nurses for the May DAISY(雏菊)Award for extraordinary nursing care. Chris Schauteet, Cristin Bryans, and Danya Shealy were among the honorees recognized for their work in creating a most memorable patient experience. The patient, Laurie Gulliksen, had been receiving inpatient chemotherapy(化疗)since December of 2022. During this time the staff became very close with her. On Friday, April 21, the patient received her last treatment and was scheduled to go home. The nurses wanted to celebrate this achievement and make it special so they purchased balloons, flowers, a card, and a gift, but most importantly, a bell for the patient to ring to signal the completion of her chemotherapy. Gulliksen came back to the hospital to present the honorees with their awards. She shared, “I will never forget the love and sympathy shown to me and the friendships that were made. They are truly amazing people.” SGMC Senior Vice President, and Chief Nursing Officer Randy Smith expressed his thanks to the team. “It’s very fitting that we are able to present this award during National Nurses Week which recognizes the devotion of nurses and honors them for taking care of patients during their most difficult moments,” he said. “I am extremely proud of our entire nursing team and their commitment to going above and beyond to enhance the patient experience at SGMC. ” SGMC continues to ask patients and fellow employees to honor nurses who they feel go above and beyond in their actions and care. Nominations(提名)are reviewed by a committee based on criteria that include sympathy, teamwork, leadership, attitude, skills and knowledge. DAISY awards are presented monthly in front of the nurse’s workmates, physicians, patients, and visitors. Each honoree receives a certificate praising her or him for being an “Extraordinary Nurse”. They also receive a beautiful sculpture called A Healer’s Touch and a special flower arrangement of daisies generously donated by The Flower Gallery, the local sponsor of SGMC’s DAISY Award. 24.

C 【语篇导读】本文是新闻报道。文章报道了南乔治亚医疗中心(SGMC)颁发DAISY奖给一组护士的事迹，详细描述了这个奖项的背景、目的以及获奖者的故事。 24. 推理判断题。根据第二段“The patient, Laurie Gulliksen, had been receiving inpatient chemotherapy(化疗)since December of 2022. During this time the staff became very close with her. On Friday, April 21, the patient received her last treatment and was scheduled to go home. The nurses wanted to celebrate this achievement and make it special so they purchased balloons, flowers, a card, and a gift, but most importantly, a bell for the patient to ring to signal the completion of her chemotherapy.(这名患者名叫劳里·古利克森(Laurie Gulliksen)，自2022年12月以来一直在住院接受化疗。在此期间，工作人员与她变得非常亲密。4月21日，星期五，病人接受了最后一次治疗，并被安排回家。护士们想庆祝这一成就，让它变得特别，所以他们买了气球、鲜花、卡片和礼物，但最重要的是，给病人买了一个铃铛，以表明她的化疗完成了)”可知，护士们给劳里·古利克森买气球和鲜花之类的东西是为了庆祝这个不寻常的时刻——她化疗完成了，故选B项。 25. 细节理解题。根据第一段“South Georgia Medical Center(SGMC)honored a team of nurses for the May DAISY(雏菊)Award for extraordinary nursing care .(南乔治亚医疗中心(SGMC)为一组护士颁发了五月雏菊奖，以表彰他们出色的护理工作)”以及第四段““It’s very fitting that we are able to present this award during National Nurses Week which recognizes the devotion of nurses and honors them for taking care of patients during their most difficult moments,” he said. “I am extremely proud of our entire nursing team and their commitment to going above and beyond to enhance the patient experience at SGMC.”(他说：“我们能够在全国护士周期间颁发这个奖项是非常合适的，这是对护士的奉献精神的认可，也是对她们在最困难的时刻照顾病人的荣誉。”“我为我们的整个护理团队以及他们为提高SGMC患者体验而做出的努力感到非常自豪。”)”可知，第一段提到South Georgia Medical Center颁发DAISY Award以表彰非凡的护理服务，而第四段则强调了这个奖项是为了表彰护士在最困难的时刻照顾病人的奉献精神，所以雏菊奖的目的是承认护士的承诺，故选D项。 26. 词义猜测题。划线单词为代词，应是代指前文提到的人或者事，根据前文“SGMC continues to ask patients and fellow employees to honor nurses(SGMC继续要求患者和其他员工尊重护士)”可知，后文为修饰nurses的定语从句，所以their actions and care代指的应是“护士的行动和护理”，所以their应是“Nurses’”，故选D项， 27. 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“DAISY awards are presented monthly in front of the nurse’s workmates, physicians, patients, and visitors. Each honoree receives a certificate praising her or him for being an “Extraordinary Nurse”. They also receive a beautiful sculpture called A Healer’s Touch and a special flower arrangement of daisies generously donated by The Flower Gallery, the local sponsor of SGMC’s DAISY Award.(雏菊奖每月在护士的同事、医生、病人和来访者面前颁发。每位获奖者都会获得一份证书，表扬她或他是一名“杰出护士”。他们还会收到一件名为“A Healer’s Touch”的美丽雕塑，以及由SGMC DAISY奖的当地赞助商The flower Gallery慷慨捐赠的一束特别的雏菊)”可知，最后一段主要介绍了获奖者的奖品，包括证书、美丽的雕塑和特殊的花卉装饰，这些都是由当地赞助商慷慨捐赠的。因此，本段的主要内容是关于获奖者的奖品，故选C项。 13 (2023-2024学年高二下·连云港市·期末统考) B On the streets of Sydney, Australia, a young Chinese woman, wearing elegant hanfu, the traditional clothing of China, gracefully hold$$
