专题03 记叙文、新闻报道阅读 （一） （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. 24．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. 25．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. 26．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. 27．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. 参考答案： 24．C 25．A 26．B 27．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。 24．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。 25．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。 26．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。 27．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。 （二） （2025·湖南衡阳·二模 ） On April 26th, 2022, Italian traveler Vienna Cammarota set off from Venice, the hometown of the encouraging explorer Marco Polo, with the ambition of retracing his route to China along the ancient Silk Road on foot. With a simple backpack and two trekking poles, 74-year-old Cammarota covered over 20, 000 km and passed through dozens of countries.

The infrastructure project, once completed, was expected to enhance regional connectivity and bring new opportunities. For Cammarota, this journey was more than retracing Marco Polo's footsteps. She hoped her travels would help people in Italy and the West see the true beauty and greatness of China. “This is a land filled with numerous UNESCO heritage sites, cutting-edge technology, and a harmonious balance between urban development and natural preservation, ” Cammarota said. Describing herself as an ambassador of cultural exchange and modern-day Marco Polo, Cammarota noted, “I want to know about Marco Polo and the Silk Road, but I also want to send a message to women of my age—it’s never too late to pursue your dreams. ” 24．What encouraged Cammarota to walk along the Silk Road?

Plastic bags hung like worn flags from tree branches, rusty soda cans littered the ground, and a duck struggled to free its leg from a soda can ring. He immediately texted classmates: “Emergency clean up this Saturday! Our park needs us!” By noon, 18 students had joined “Operation Green Rescue”. Under a rainy sky, volunteers worked tirelessly. They sorted trash into color-coded bins — blue for glass, green for aluminum, and gray for non-recyclables. “Turtle eggs under these cans!” shouted Emma, uncovering a nest beneath debris. By dusk, they had cleared 237 pounds of waste, filling three pickup trucks. A local baker rewarded them with organic snacks, declaring, “You’re revived our park!” A week later, Mike’s club screened Vanishing Forests, a documentary revealing rainforests disappearing at 30 football fields per minute. Maria wiped tears while apes held onto trees being cut down. “We must act,” Mike urged. The club launched “Project Releaf” selling seed paper bookmarks and organizing “Bike-to-School Fridays” Funds planted 45 oak saplings. “These trees will strengthen the ecosystem by absorbing 200 pounds of carbon annually,” their teacher explained. Mike’s toughest battle was cafeteria reform. Displaying jars of 1, 800 plastic forks collected monthly, he faced cost objections. “ego-cutlery costs 25 % more,” the manager argued. Determined, Mike presented long-term savings charts. After six debates and 500 + signature, ego-friendly utensils (餐具) were approved. Plastic use dropped 78 %, earning the school a “Green Innovator” award and recognition for promoting sustainable practiced. Today, families picnic under new trees with bamboo plates, while kids study recycling morals. Now an environmental science major, Mike reflects: “Sustainable change begins when ordinary people refuse to ignore one piece of trash.” His story, carved on a park plague, inspires visitors daily. 24．What did volunteers do with aluminum cans during the clean up? A．Sold them to a recycling company. B．Placed them in green bins. C．Used them for art projects. D．Buried them in the park. 25．What can be inferred about the documentary Vanishing Forests? A．It criticized government policies. B．It was filmed by the school club. C．It focused on ocean plastic pollution. D．It inspired empathy and practical actions. 26．What does the cafeteria manager’s initial reaction imply? A．They disliked student proposals. B．They lacked environmental knowledge. C．They valued short-term costs over long-term benefits. D．They opposed all changes. 27．Which quality best described Mike’s character? A．Persistent. B．Optimistic. C．Stubborn. D．Skeptical. 参考答案： 24．B 25．D 26．C 27．A 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。本文通过高中生Mike组织同学清理公园垃圾、发起植树活动并推动学校食堂使用环保餐具的故事，展现了个人行动对环境改善的力量。文章强调微小努力可引发系统性变革，如塑料使用减少78%和城市禁塑令的推行，传递了“普通人拒绝忽视一片垃圾也能创造可持续未来”的环保理念。 24．细节理解题。根据第二段中“They sorted trash into color-coded bins — blue for glass, green for aluminum, and gray for non-recyclables. (他们将垃圾分类到颜色编码的回收箱——蓝色装玻璃，绿色装铝制品，灰色装不可回收物)”可知，志愿者在清理过程中把铝罐放在绿色的回收箱里。故选B项。 25．推理判断题。根据第三段中“Maria wiped tears while apes held onto trees being cut down. “We must act,” Mike urged. The club launched “Project Releaf” selling seed paper bookmarks and organizing “Bike-to-School Fridays” Funds planted 45 oak saplings.(当猿猴抓住被砍倒的树时，玛丽亚擦干眼泪。“我们必须采取行动，”迈克敦促道。该俱乐部发起了“Releaf项目”，出售种子纸书签，并组织了“周五自行车上学”基金，种植了45棵橡树树苗)”可知，第三段描述观看纪录片后，Maria流泪，随后俱乐部发起“Project Releaf”种树和骑行活动，这些细节表明纪录片激发了情感共鸣（empathy）并促使实际行动（practical actions）。故选D项。 26．推理判断题。根据第四段中“Displaying jars of 1, 800 plastic forks collected monthly, he faced cost objections. “ego-cutlery costs 25 % more,” the manager argued. Determined, Mike presented long-term savings charts. After six debates and 500 + signature, ego-friendly utensils (餐具) were approved.(他展示了每月收集的1800个塑料叉子罐，面临着成本方面的反对。这位经理辩称：“生态餐具的价格要贵25%。”迈克下定决心，拿出了长期储蓄图表。经过六次辩论和500多个签名，自我友好型餐具获得批准。)”可知，经理首先强调成本增加，而非环保价值，但Mike通过展示长期节约图表说服了他，表明经理最初更关注短期成本而非长期效益。故选C项。 27．推理判断题。通读全文可知，Mike在清理公园、推动种树和食堂改革中多次面临阻力（如天气、成本争议），但始终坚持并成功实现目标，这体现了他“坚持不懈”（Persistent）的品质。故选A项。 （四） （2025·湖南省新高考教学教研联盟·二模 ） From sleeping in a spider-covered tent a mile up an Amazonian cliff face to completing one of the classic outdoor “lifetime” challenges in the space of a few months, Anna Taylor is making a name for herself in the adventure community.

It didn’t connect to the Internet or have any channels,” she said. “So when I found there were actually a bunch of good DVDs here, I started coming here all the time.” During her senior year at high school, Hannah reached out to Amy Wander, head of youth programming at the library. Soon, she spent her time at the library not just checking out DVDs but also helping Wander prepare for programs and organize materials to send to other library locations.“Hannah has been a true joy to work with,” Wander said. “Her ideas and enthusiasm were an inspiration and her imaginative contributions made our programs engaging and interactive. We wish her all the best in her future work.” For Hannah, volunteering at the library allowed her to try on a career she’d always envisioned. “I’ve always had this dream of being a librarian, and it was really cool to actually see myself in that environment,” she said. This fall, Hannah started her first semester at the University of New Orleans, where she’s high school, but a master’s degree in library studying music performance.

There’s this idea of libraries being a boring place where you’ll get shushed (发嘘声使某人安静) by the librarians and all you can do is just read books all day,” Hannah explained. “But you can also do crafts, do yoga, or play games.

The aliens had requested dandelions be provided at the meeting, while their ship remained in high Earth orbit. “And Earth is a rest stop for your people?” “Yes. It makes a fine place to stop off and refill our food reserves, get out and stretch, so to speak. We planted dandelions here as a food source…” “Our conversation is getting sidetracked. We’re here to discuss the idea that humanity will be removed from Earth. You cannot simply wipe out an entire race of beings.” “You were never intended to inhabit (栖居) this world. Your presence, and the mess you’ve made of it, has stopped the development of its own native intelligence. Honestly, we should have intervened sooner.” The president pounded the table. “For the last time, dolphins are not intelligent enough to rule this planet.” The mist sighed. “Look, I’m sorry. I know this must be hard for you. But you’re a mistake. A… random accident. A… a…” “An escaped pet, you said.” “Precisely. Think of yourselves as like those furry creatures you keep in your homes. The ones with four legs. The ones that—” “Yes, dogs, I get it.” “Right, dogs. You wouldn’t let a dog run a planet, would you? When it chews up your furnishings, how do you correct it?” “Hit it on the nose and say ‘bad dog’.” “Well, there you go. We’re simply correcting a naughty pet as you would.” The door behind the mist opened silently. Two men in dark suits entered, carrying a large silver box between them.

Despite spending her first birthday in hospital undergoing surgery, Ivy has dedicated to fundraising and delivering presents to children at Alder Hey Hospital in Liverpool since she was two. Ivy’s condition was detected when her mother, Clare Bouch, did a 20-week pregnancy scan. Further tests revealed the rare condition, which affects only 1 in 4,000 babies. At just eight days old, Ivy underwent her first open-heart surgery. Clare recalled, “Seeing her after surgery was heartbreaking. She was so swollen that she seemed to have boxed ten rounds with Mike Tyson. Though covered in wires and tubes, she made it through eventually.” Ivy had another surgery the following days and spent her first birthday in hospital. Since then, she has recovered gradually. Under the care of her mother, she could do moderate exercise. Supported by the charity Tiny Tickers, Clare said, “She’s done so well and always has a smile for everyone.” Ivy began her gifts deliveries in 2018 when she was two, handing out 90 gift bags containing biscuits and personal care items. In 2019, despite a broken leg, she delivered teddy bears to the intensive care unit (ICU). In 2020 and 2021, Ivy raised £1,000 each year through online fundraising. In 2022, she returned to delivering presents, bringing books as gifts. And in 2023, she raised another £1,000 and took in gifts of baby toys and presents for teenagers. Last year, she still delivered over 200 presents. Clare shared, “She’s incredibly thoughtful and always thinks of others.” Ivy’s selfless spirit continues to inspire others, proving that even with half a heart, she has the biggest heart of all. 24．Why does the author mention Mike Tyson in paragraph 2? A．To show Ivy’s love for boxing. B．To give an example of a famous person. C．To emphasize how excellent the surgery was.

Near the back of the line, 11-year-old Jasmine Navarro sat on a plastic chair beside her mom and aunt. She, like many others here, lost all of her belongings in the fire. Inside the warehouse, a 14-year-old named Avery Colvert and a team of volunteers have created a shopping mall (购物广场) for girls who’ve lost everything, and all in it were free. There were rows of shoes and racks of neatly organized clothing. Everything here was brand new and trendy (时髦的). Avery, whose middle school was burned down in the Eaton Fire, but whose home did not, got the idea to create this space after her family evacuated just a few days earlier. As soon as fires began destroying LA County houses, residents raced to stock food drives and charity shops with canned food and used clothing. But Avery has put a spotlight on the needs of teenage girls specifically, and created an experience like retail therapy (购物疗法). “I thought about myself, and how my appearance is important to my identity and my confidence,” she said. “And these teenage girls lost that piece of identity when they lost all their things.” Avery started the online page Altadena Girls and put out a call for items that the teenage girls want. “I want to be able to give them a sense of normality in their lives when nothing else is normal,” she said. “I want them to walk out feeling confident again.” Within 24hours, Avery’s online page took off. Boxes of clothes from trendy brands poured in. The efforts were powered by dozens of volunteers, mainly Hollywood producers and fashion industry professionals. Avery’s mom, Liz McLean, watched from nearby, said, “To see her take action is unbelievable. This is going to be a memory for them that just doesn’t go away.” 24．What do we know about the items in the warehouse? A．They were second-hand and outdated. B．They were well arranged and up-to-date. C．They were limited to basic necessities like food. D．They were donated by local schools and producers. 25．What inspired Avery to create the free shopping mall? A．The loss of her home in the Eaton Fire. B．Her long dream to set up a fashion business. C．The encouragement from Hollywood producers. D．Her own experience and concern for teenage girls. 26．Why did Avery start Altadena Girls? A．To praise the efforts her volunteer team had made. B．To call for donations of items that teenage girls need. C．To educate teenage girls to be increasingly confident. D．To create a platform for fashion industry professionals. 27．Which of the following can best describe Avery? A．Creative and generous. B．Talented and warm-hearted. C．Caring and humorous. D．Influential and strong-willed. 参考答案 24．B 25．D 26．B 27．A 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。主要介绍的是Avery Colvert如何通过创建免费购物广场帮助火灾中失去一切的青春期女孩重拾自信与正常生活的故事。 24．细节理解题。根据第二段中的“There were rows of shoes and racks of neatly organized clothing.

When the other kids began to notice that he was wearing the same black pants and blue, teal, and gray long-sleeve shirt day after day, Todd, a freshman at Martin Luther King Jr. College Preparatory High School in Memphis, became the target of laughter. But there was little Todd could do. His mother simply couldn’t afford to purchase him new clothes. Two of the kids piling on were Antwan Garrett and Kristopher Graham, a pair of freshman football players. But over time, they realized that their negative words felt like bullying and seemed to be slowly breaking Todd’s spirit. Something finally clicked. “I felt like I needed to do something,” Graham told CBS News. So he and Garrett hatched a plan. They went home and hunted through their own drawers and closets. The next day at school, they met Todd at their third-period class and asked him to come into the hall. Todd was understandably terrified about being called out by the larger boys. “He wasn’t smiling or anything, and I was like, ‘I think this is going to make you smile,’” Graham says. “I told him, ‘We’re in the same third period, and I apologize for laughing at you, and I want to give something to you to make it up.’” He then handed Todd a bulky bag. Inside were clean shirts and shorts, plus a brand-new pair of New Balance sneakers. Todd was blown away. “I was very happy,” he told WATN-TV. “Shocked, completely.” And Todd got much more than a new wardrobe. He no longer sits alone at lunch. Now he eats with his new friends, Garrett and Graham. “I’ve been bullied my entire life,” Todd told CBS News. Reflecting on the day Garrett and Graham called him into the hall, he added, “The best day of my entire life, basically.” 24．What motivated Garrett and Graham to help Todd?

However, the publishing industry has long been criticized for its lack of diversity. Despite recent improvements, many people, like Colin Kaepernick, grew up with little or no literature, Kaepernick, a former National Football League (NFL) player, rarely read as a child because he couldn’t relate to the narratives in the books available. Over the years, self-realization and awareness, combined with his activism, inspired Kaepernick to address the lack of diversity. In 2023, he released a graphic novel entitled Change the Game. He explained in an interview that the objective of this project was to provide younger audiences with characters and stories that they could relate to, and also give them the resources, which he lacked growing up, to navigate their realities. And subsequently in 2024, Colin launched Lumi, an AI-based platform that provides creators with tools to independently produce, publish, distribute, and market their stories, both digitally and physically. “Lumi addresses an unnecessary dependency on gatekeepers that slows creators down,” says Kaepernick. The platform was born out of the barriers he encountered while trying to publish his own works through Ra Vision Media. “One specific challenge creators face is the manufacturing and distribution of their stories,” he explains. “We have built digital and physical publishing directly into our platform to simplify the process of manufacturing and distribution for creators and remove this organizational burden.” Lumi’s use of AI has brought discussions about technology’s role in the creative process. While some fear that AI tools might overshadow human creativity, Kaepernick sees AI as an enabler rather than a replacement for human creativity. “We believe creators are at the center of all creations, and AI will be a tool that creators can use to enhance their current creative processes,” he explains. Looking ahead, Lumi aims to be a bridge between traditional creatives and AI-driven content creation, developing an environment where both can boom. Through Lumi, Kaepernick is expanding the creative space to include a wider range of voices. “Lumi will allow a new wave of diverse and innovative stories to come to life,” Kaepernick says. 24. Why did Colin Kaepernick push Change the Game? A. To criticize the quality of storytelling. B. To meet young readers’ need in storytelling. C. To support his physical education initiatives. D. To challenge traditional publishing companies. 25. What inspired Colin Kaepernick to launch the platform of Lumi? A. His desire to become a writer. B. His enthusiasm for AI technology. C. His struggle with literary creation. D. His personal publishing experience. 26. What do we know about Lumi? A. It focuses primarily on digital storytelling. B. It is intended to minimize reading difficulties. C. It leads to the decline of traditional publishing. D. It enables creators to work freely and independently. 27. What can be the suitable title for the text? A. How Kaepernick Makes Efforts to Diversify Storytelling B. How Kaepernick Takes Advantage of AI to Write Books C. Why Kaepernick Appreciates Authentic Storytelling Style D. Why Kaepernick Shifts His Career from Sports to Literature 参考答案 24—27 BDDA （十二） （2025·湖南名校联合体·仿真联考一 ） When the 14-year-old Sirish Subash, from Snellville, Georgia, was washing vegetables with his mother in his home kitchen, he thought of the residues(残留物) of pesticides(杀虫剂) on them. To avoid the effects of chemicals on his body, he invented an AI-based device that can detect the presence of pesticides on foods. This innovation won him the “3M Young Scientist Challenge”. Most of the time, when crops are harvested and delivered to grocery stores, the residues of pesticides are attached to these food items, creating a risk of diseases. Although Subash was told by his mother to wash vegetables before cooking and eating them, he wondered if it was enough to clean away the pesticides from the food. This was the question that made him invent a groundbreaking handheld device, PestiSCAND. The device is based on a method called “spectrophotometry(分光光度法)”. “Now what this means is that it measures how different wavelengths of light reflect off the surfaces of the items,” Subash told. Users of the device just need to download an app, point the scanner(扫描仪) at the fruit or vegetables, and see the results. While testing the produce, the device accurately reported pesticide levels of around 85% in tomatoes. “The main goal of PestiSCAND is to help people ensure that they aren’t consuming used pesticides so they can avoid any associated health risks,” Subash said. The ninth-grader developed the PestiSCAND with support from his teacher, Aditya Banerji, a senior research engineer. For his great contribution, Subash ended up winning the grand prize of $25,000 cash and the title of “America’s Top Young Scientist”. The prize money, he said, will fund his college education. “Subash shows an incredible ability to develop creative solutions to some of the world’s most pressing challenges,” says Torie Clarke, chief public affairs officer at 3M. Subash said that although the product is not out in the market, he will continue to build improved versions. “I want to continue developing projects like ‘PestiSCAND’ and eventually get them out to the world, to the market. That’s one of my goals, to get it out to everyone,” Subash added. 24. What can be concluded about pesticide residues from paragraph 2? A. Their harms are unavoidable. B. They’re common on vegetables. C. They can’t be washed away at all. D. They are completely broken down by high-temperature cooking. 25. Why did Subash invent the PestiSCAND? A. To advocate for organic farming. B. To draw attention to the issue. C. To avoid health risks from pesticide residues. D. To increase the quantity of food. 26. What might Subash do in the future? A. Major in engineering in his college. B. Provide PestiSCAND for the public for free. C. Find more ways to test pesticide residues. D. Invent more for real-world challenges. 27. What’s the best title for the text? A. A Teenager Creates a Device to Detect Pesticide Residues in Food B. A Way to Remove Pesticide Residues Is Found C. Pesticide Residues Can’t Be Overlooked in Kitchens D. A Talented Young Man Wins the 3M Grand Prize 参考答案 24—27 BCDA （十三） （2025·麓山国际实验学校·四月检测） When Martin Roth started as a forest ranger in the 1980s, his job was to care for the forest to ensure continuity for decades, even centuries. Now, with climate change, it’s more about planning for an uncertain future. “It’s disaster management,” says Roth, for whom the 3,000 acres of forest serve as testing ground for high-tech solutions, earning him the nickname “digital forest ranger.” After a severe storm, the clock starts ticking: Damaged trees should be removed before the arrival of bark beetles, which grow in dead trees and can destroy entire forests. While it once took Roth about 2.5 hours to cover an acre on foot, drones (无人机) now let him survey the entire 3,000 acres in several days, so he can quickly locate damaged trees, inform owners of affected plots, and send updates to workers. Roth’s exploration goes beyond drones. His recent project is combining body camera with AI. “Usually you mark the trees, they re cut down, and you have no idea how much wood you’ll get, what quality, and which species,” he explains. AI now “sees” through his body cam, recognizes tree species, estimates wood production, and sends real-time information to his phone. Since up to half of European tree species are unsuited to rising temperatures and extended dry periods, Roth has also begun experimenting with new species, planting them in small groups and keeping track of them in his system. As forest areas expand, interventions are needed, but there aren’t enough employees to keep it all straight. “Either I know it, or the computer knows it, or no one knows it and it’s lost” he says. Roth’s expertise in tackling the challenges of modern forestry with technology is increasingly sought after—colleagues reach out for advice, and he lectures on the topic at universities. But he warns that technology can never replace a wander through the forest: “I should never believe that the digital twin is reality. I always have to do a reality check.” 24. What was Roth’s job when he started his career? A. Sustaining forest health. B. Predicting the forest’s future. C. Managing disasters. D. Seeking high tech solutions. 25. What does Roth use drones to do? A. Identify dead tree species. B. Remove harmful insects. C. Collect data of forest damage. D. Inform owners of their loss. 26. What point is Roth trying to make with his words in paragraph 4? A. Forests are a cure for climate change. B. Experienced workers are in great need. C. Forest expansion is successfully controlled. D. Technology is key to tracking forest information. 27. Why does Roth warn about the use of technology in forestry? A. It may replace human workers. B. It may need too much checking. C. It may provide false information. D. It may deny chances of forest walks. 参考答案 24-27：ACDC 24 A 第一段提到：When Martin Roth started as a forest ranger in the 1980s, his job was to care for the forest to ensure continuity for decades, even centuries. 这里的关键词是care for the forest和ensure continuity，即维护森林健康，确保其持续发展。选项A是Sustaining forest health（维持森林健康），符合原文描述。 25 C 第二段drones (无人机) now let him survey the entire 3,000 acres in several days, so he can quickly locate damaged trees, inform owners of affected plots, and send updates to workers.无人机用于快速调查受损区域（“survey the entire 3,000 acres”），定位受损树木并传递信息，本质是收集损害数据。 26 D 第四段As forest areas expand, interventions are needed, but there aren’t enough employees to keep it all straight. “Either I know it, or the computer knows it, or no one knows it and it’s lost” he says.(随着森林面积的扩大，需要进行干预，但没有足够的员工来保持一切正常。他说：“要么我知道，要么电脑知道，要么没人知道，然后就丢失了。”) 提到人力不足时，Roth强调“要么我或电脑掌握信息，否则信息丢失”，凸显技术对追踪森林信息的关键作用。 27 C 末端But he warns that technology can never replace a wander through the forest: “I should never believe that the digital twin is reality. I always have to do a reality check.”(但他警告说，科技永远无法取代在森林中漫步：“我永远不应该相信数字孪生是现实。我总是要做现实检查。”) Roth警告“数字孪生不等于现实，必须实地核查”，表明技术可能提供不准确信息，需验证。 （十四） （2025·湖南郴州·四月综合模拟） With his heartwarming party invitation, Doug Turner, an 87-year-old from Bucks County, Pennsylvania, proved that friendship has no age limit.

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. 24．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. 25．What can be inferred from the author’s piano studies? A．Online resources benefited him a lot. B．Music history seemed more inviting.

B．It escapes from the reality. C．It gives insights into life.

Plastic bags hung like worn flags from tree branches, rusty soda cans littered the ground, and a duck struggled to free its leg from a soda can ring. He immediately texted classmates: “Emergency clean up this Saturday! Our park needs us!” By noon, 18 students had joined “Operation Green Rescue”. Under a rainy sky, volunteers worked tirelessly. They sorted trash into color-coded bins — blue for glass, green for aluminum, and gray for non-recyclables. “Turtle eggs under these cans!” shouted Emma, uncovering a nest beneath debris. By dusk, they had cleared 237 pounds of waste, filling three pickup trucks. A local baker rewarded them with organic snacks, declaring, “You’re revived our park!” A week later, Mike’s club screened Vanishing Forests, a documentary revealing rainforests disappearing at 30 football fields per minute. Maria wiped tears while apes held onto trees being cut down. “We must act,” Mike urged. The club launched “Project Releaf” selling seed paper bookmarks and organizing “Bike-to-School Fridays” Funds planted 45 oak saplings. “These trees will strengthen the ecosystem by absorbing 200 pounds of carbon annually,” their teacher explained. Mike’s toughest battle was cafeteria reform. Displaying jars of 1, 800 plastic forks collected monthly, he faced cost objections. “ego-cutlery costs 25 % more,” the manager argued. Determined, Mike presented long-term savings charts. After six debates and 500 + signature, ego-friendly utensils (餐具) were approved. Plastic use dropped 78 %, earning the school a “Green Innovator” award and recognition for promoting sustainable practiced.

It flowed around one end of the conference room table where a red bowl of dandelions (蒲公英) sat. The aliens had requested dandelions be provided at the meeting, while their ship remained in high Earth orbit. “And Earth is a rest stop for your people?” “Yes. It makes a fine place to stop off and refill our food reserves, get out and stretch, so to speak. We planted dandelions here as a food source…” “Our conversation is getting sidetracked. We’re here to discuss the idea that humanity will be removed from Earth. You cannot simply wipe out an entire race of beings.” “You were never intended to inhabit (栖居) this world. Your presence, and the mess you’ve made of it, has stopped the development of its own native intelligence.

The ones with four legs. The ones that—” “Yes, dogs, I get it.” “Right, dogs. You wouldn’t let a dog run a planet, would you? When it chews up your furnishings, how do you correct it?” “Hit it on the nose and say ‘bad dog’.” “Well, there you go. We’re simply correcting a naughty pet as you would.” The door behind the mist opened silently. Two men in dark suits entered, carrying a large silver box between them.

When the other kids began to notice that he was wearing the same black pants and blue, teal, and gray long-sleeve shirt day after day, Todd, a freshman at Martin Luther King Jr. College Preparatory High School in Memphis, became the target of laughter. But there was little Todd could do. His mother simply couldn’t afford to purchase him new clothes. Two of the kids piling on were Antwan Garrett and Kristopher Graham, a pair of freshman football players. But over time, they realized that their negative words felt like bullying and seemed to be slowly breaking Todd’s spirit. Something finally clicked. “I felt like I needed to do something,” Graham told CBS News. So he and Garrett hatched a plan. They went home and hunted through their own drawers and closets. The next day at school, they met Todd at their third-period class and asked him to come into the hall. Todd was understandably terrified about being called out by the larger boys. “He wasn’t smiling or anything, and I was like, ‘I think this is going to make you smile,’” Graham says. “I told him, ‘We’re in the same third period, and I apologize for laughing at you, and I want to give something to you to make it up.’” He then handed Todd a bulky bag. Inside were clean shirts and shorts, plus a brand-new pair of New Balance sneakers. Todd was blown away. “I was very happy,” he told WATN-TV. “Shocked, completely.” And Todd got much more than a new wardrobe. He no longer sits alone at lunch.

However, the publishing industry has long been criticized for its lack of diversity. Despite recent improvements, many people, like Colin Kaepernick, grew up with little or no literature, Kaepernick, a former National Football League (NFL) player, rarely read as a child because he couldn’t relate to the narratives in the books available. Over the years, self-realization and awareness, combined with his activism, inspired Kaepernick to address the lack of diversity. In 2023, he released a graphic novel entitled Change the Game. He explained in an interview that the objective of this project was to provide younger audiences with characters and stories that they could relate to, and also give them the resources, which he lacked growing up, to navigate their realities. And subsequently in 2024, Colin launched Lumi, an AI-based platform that provides creators with tools to independently produce, publish, distribute, and market their stories, both digitally and physically. “Lumi addresses an unnecessary dependency on gatekeepers that slows creators down,” says Kaepernick. The platform was born out of the barriers he encountered while trying to publish his own works through Ra Vision Media. “One specific challenge creators face is the manufacturing and distribution of their stories,” he explains. “We have built digital and physical publishing directly into our platform to simplify the process of manufacturing and distribution for creators and remove this organizational burden.” Lumi’s use of AI has brought discussions about technology’s role in the creative process. While some fear that AI tools might overshadow human creativity, Kaepernick sees AI as an enabler rather than a replacement for human creativity. “We believe creators are at the center of all creations, and AI will be a tool that creators can use to enhance their current creative processes,” he explains. Looking ahead, Lumi aims to be a bridge between traditional creatives and AI-driven content creation, developing an environment where both can boom. Through Lumi, Kaepernick is expanding the creative space to include a wider range of voices. “Lumi will allow a new wave of diverse and innovative stories to come to life,” Kaepernick says. 24. Why did Colin Kaepernick push Change the Game? A. To criticize the quality of storytelling. B. To meet young readers’ need in storytelling. C. To support his physical education initiatives. D. To challenge traditional publishing companies. 25. What inspired Colin Kaepernick to launch the platform of Lumi? A. His desire to become a writer. B. His enthusiasm for AI technology. C. His struggle with literary creation. D. His personal publishing experience. 26. What do we know about Lumi? A. It focuses primarily on digital storytelling. B. It is intended to minimize reading difficulties. C. It leads to the decline of traditional publishing. D. It enables creators to work freely and independently. 27. What can be the suitable title for the text? A. How Kaepernick Makes Efforts to Diversify Storytelling B. How Kaepernick Takes Advantage of AI to Write Books C. Why Kaepernick Appreciates Authentic Storytelling Style D. Why Kaepernick Shifts His Career from Sports to Literature （十二） （2025·湖南名校联合体·仿真联考一 ） When the 14-year-old Sirish Subash, from Snellville, Georgia, was washing vegetables with his mother in his home kitchen, he thought of the residues(残留物) of pesticides(杀虫剂) on them. To avoid the effects of chemicals on his body, he invented an AI-based device that can detect the presence of pesticides on foods. This innovation won him the “3M Young Scientist Challenge”. Most of the time, when crops are harvested and delivered to grocery stores, the residues of pesticides are attached to these food items, creating a risk of diseases. Although Subash was told by his mother to wash vegetables before cooking and eating them, he wondered if it was enough to clean away the pesticides from the food. This was the question that made him invent a groundbreaking handheld device, PestiSCAND. The device is based on a method called “spectrophotometry(分光光度法)”. “Now what this means is that it measures how different wavelengths of light reflect off the surfaces of the items,” Subash told. Users of the device just need to download an app, point the scanner(扫描仪) at the fruit or vegetables, and see the results. While testing the produce, the device accurately reported pesticide levels of around 85% in tomatoes. “The main goal of PestiSCAND is to help people ensure that they aren’t consuming used pesticides so they can avoid any associated health risks,” Subash said. The ninth-grader developed the PestiSCAND with support from his teacher, Aditya Banerji, a senior research engineer. For his great contribution, Subash ended up winning the grand prize of $25,000 cash and the title of “America’s Top Young Scientist”. The prize money, he said, will fund his college education. “Subash shows an incredible ability to develop creative solutions to some of the world’s most pressing challenges,” says Torie Clarke, chief public affairs officer at 3M. Subash said that although the product is not out in the market, he will continue to build improved versions. “I want to continue developing projects like ‘PestiSCAND’ and eventually get them out to the world, to the market. That’s one of my goals, to get it out to everyone,” Subash added. 24. What can be concluded about pesticide residues from paragraph 2? A. Their harms are unavoidable. B. They’re common on vegetables.

Now, with climate change, it’s more about planning for an uncertain future. “It’s disaster management,” says Roth, for whom the 3,000 acres of forest serve as testing ground for high-tech solutions, earning him the nickname “digital forest ranger.” After a severe storm, the clock starts ticking: Damaged trees should be removed before the arrival of bark beetles, which grow in dead trees and can destroy entire forests. While it once took Roth about 2.5 hours to cover an acre on foot, drones (无人机) now let him survey the entire 3,000 acres in several days, so he can quickly locate damaged trees, inform owners of affected plots, and send updates to workers. Roth’s exploration goes beyond drones. His recent project is combining body camera with AI. “Usually you mark the trees, they re cut down, and you have no idea how much wood you’ll get, what quality, and which species,” he explains. AI now “sees” through his body cam, recognizes tree species, estimates wood production, and sends real-time information to his phone. Since up to half of European tree species are unsuited to rising temperatures and extended dry periods, Roth has also begun experimenting with new species, planting them in small groups and keeping track of them in his system. As forest areas expand, interventions are needed, but there aren’t enough employees to keep it all straight. “Either I know it, or the computer knows it, or no one knows it and it’s lost” he says. Roth’s expertise in tackling the challenges of modern forestry with technology is increasingly sought after—colleagues reach out for advice, and he lectures on the topic at universities. But he warns that technology can never replace a wander through the forest: “I should never believe that the digital twin is reality. I always have to do a reality check.” 24. What was Roth’s job when he started his career? A. Sustaining forest health. B. Predicting the forest’s future. C. Managing disasters. D. Seeking high tech solutions. 25. What does Roth use drones to do? A. Identify dead tree species. B. Remove harmful insects. C. Collect data of forest damage. D. Inform owners of their loss. 26. What point is Roth trying to make with his words in paragraph 4? A. Forests are a cure for climate change. B. Experienced workers are in great need. C. Forest expansion is successfully controlled. D. Technology is key to tracking forest information. 27. Why does Roth warn about the use of technology in forestry? A. It may replace human workers. B. It may need too much checking. C. It may provide false information. D. It may deny chances of forest walks. （十四） （2025·湖南郴州·四月综合模拟） With his heartwarming party invitation, Doug Turner, an 87-year-old from Bucks County, Pennsylvania, proved that friendship has no age limit.
