I got up at 5 a.m. to play scales, practised at lunchtime and returned to my cello (大提琴) after lessons. One evening, while practicing a demanding piece, I pushed myself too far. I felt a burning pain between my wrist and elbow. When it hadn’t got better after a day or two, I started to panic. Days became weeks. I still could not write or play. Weeks turned into months. Opportunities for concerts, recitals, and competitions came and went. When I wasn’t sitting with my instrument, I was punishing myself for my own stupidity. My technique had probably not been secure enough for the demands I was placing on it. But now it was too late. Over two years, I gradually recovered some arm function. I was able to play some early music such as Handel and Bach, on a baroque cello, as the movements are gentler and lighter. However, the possibility of my arm letting me down has never left me. The turning point came, unexpectedly, during a photoshoot for an up-to-date picture. The photographer suggested I get my cello and see what images of playing might look like. I hesitated — I didn’t see myself as a cellist any more. But then I fetched it and sat playing snatches of Bach. In that moment, the lens pointing at my instrument and me, I began to understand something I had only half sensed until then. Away from my cello, my shadow was missing. Without it I felt incomplete. But with my instrument I was protected and entirely happy in my own skin. During that photoshoot I realised I needed to find out what the cello, and its absence, had meant to other cellists, to understand what it meant to me. So I planned a journey across Europe. I encountered cellos destroyed by war and shipwreck, and even a cello tat had been turned into a beehive. I even played with a resourceful cellist, who, having lost the use of his right thumb, ties his bow onto his hand with a bicycle inner tube. Over the course of my travels, I learned I was not alone. Besides, my experience might help others. I am also beginning to look for ways to return to the repertoire (曲目) I loved. Supported by a community of musicians in similar situations, I now celebrate every concert as a step towards healing. 24. After the injury, the author . A. tried an alternative career path B. played Bach to impress the audience C. secured the performing opportunities D. blamed herself for practicing too hard 25. The photoshoot experience was a turning point for the author because . A. it improved her professional image B. it showed her constant efforts paid off C. it deepened her connection to the cello D. it allowed her to meet incredible cellists 26. What can we learn from the passage? A. Fortune favors the bold. B. Constant dripping wears the stone. C. Good things come to those who wait. D. When given lemons, make lemonade. （二） （2025年·西城·一模） Uday Bhatia’s enthusiasm for technology began in childhood. His interest was awakened when he received a drone (无人机) in the fourth grade, stimulating a curiosity about how machines work. By 14, he had taught himself computer science and created his first video game on Roblox. However, Uday’s passion wasn’t limited to coding and gadgets — he was deeply aware of societal issues. During the pandemic, he developed FindOurTutor, an e-tutoring platform to help students continue learning remotely. At 16, Uday, as part of a mentorship program, visited Bichpuri village in Uttar Pradesh and discovered a critical problem: the villagers faced six-to-eight-hour-long power outages. “When I learned that children were using flashlights and kerosene lamps to study, I wanted to find a solution,” he recalls. His research revealed that while most villages in India had been electrified, unreliable power supply remained a continuing issue in many rural areas, with some states like Rajasthan and Uttarakhand enduring power cuts lasting 10 to 12 hours a day. Determined to help, Uday spent the next six months learning from instructional videos and gathering second-hand components. He worked in his terrace (屋顶) workshop, experimenting with different designs until he developed the Smart OutageGuard (OG), a low-cost backup lightbulb (灯泡) with a lithium-ion battery. The bulb, priced at Rs 250, about half the cost of other options, features dynamic-lumen technology and pulse-width modulation, which allows users to adjust the brightness. This feature extends the bulb’s illumination capacity to up to 10 hours, depending on the brightness level. Since its launch in May 2022, Smart OG bulbs have reached 10,000 homes across eight states. Uday also founded Uday Electric, a for-profit venture that collaborates with distributors, NGOs, retailers, and CSR programs to provide affordable lighting to semi-electrified rural areas. For non-electrified regions, he developed the Glow Grid, a solar-powered lamp, launched this month. Uday’s innovations have earned him several awards, including the 2023 Diana Legacy Award. His long-term goal is to provide low-cost energy to every home, and he’s just getting started. 24. Uday Bhatia’s experience in Bichpuri village influenced him to ________. A. develop an interest in computer science B. create a low-cost, backup-based lightbulb C. launch an e-tutoring platform for students D. study power supply systems in other villages 25. What do we know about Uday’s inventions? A. They make energy easier to access. B. They bring innovation to global markets. C. They focus on sustainable energy solutions. D. They provide affordable lighting for rural areas. 26. Which of the following best describes Uday Bhatia? A. Innovative and commercial. B. Determined and socially aware. C. Creative and environmentally conscious. D. Technologically skilled and competitive. （三） （2025年·东城·一模） I was in a tiny plane with skydivers in their 70s and 80s, and I was distracted. The reporter in me was trying to remember everything: the preflight rituals (仪式); the jokes; the way the jumpers checked their instruments. The rest of me was focused on the fact that in a few minutes, I would jump out of a plane flying 12,500 feet above the ground. I was reporting on West Ways, a group of skydivers in their late 50s to early 90s. The group was started in 1987 by Ms. West and her husband, and members have jumped together about once a month ever since. This Sunday, they were celebrating their holiday party, which included a gift exchange and a 28-point formation in free fall. As we reached altitude, Mr. West went over the jump formation once more before leading the group in a cheer for my jump. It was time. One by one they jumped. In the air, they grabbed hold of one another, forming the shape of a snowflake. Then it was my turn. Mr. Diaz edged me forward. I took a deep breath. And on the count of three, we leaped into free fall. I had never been so aware of my senses: I felt the cold air against my face and the wind pushing back my arms and legs. After a few seconds, I was able to look around. After a few minutes, we landed. The members of West Ways cheered and clapped me on the back as I tried to catch my breath. Over the next six hours, I interviewed them as they did two more jumps. (I stayed firmly on the ground.) I heard tales about first kisses in free fall and parachuting (跳伞) into weddings. What struck me wasn’t the extraordinary physical accomplishment, but how a long-standing, active community offers a way for those in it to age gracefully. I don’t know whether I’ll skydive again. But I hope that when I’m 80, I can regularly experience a suspension of time with people I’ve known for decades, before we parachute back down to earth. 24. What do we know about West Ways? A. They make jumping a routine. B. They are well trained professionals. C. They set an age limit to new members. D. They are famous for their diving patterns. 25. Why did the author join West Ways that day? A. To celebrate a holiday. B. To try a sport. C. To care for the elderly. D. To cover a story. 26. What impressed the author most about West Ways? A Their optimistic attitude. B. Their lifelong bond. C. Their physical achievements. D. Their remarkable skills. （四） （2025年·朝阳·一模） Luther Gerlach’s images enrich the permanent collections of the J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles and the National Portrait Gallery in London, among other institutions. While studying his work, one cannot help but revisit the journey he undertook in pursuit of art. Gerlach has dyslexia, a condition that makes it difficult for him to read and spell, and in middle school, it began to affect his studies. At the University of Minnesota, where Gerlach studied biology, his struggle with writing reached a tipping point. Gerlach left the university and entered art school. “Art has never been something that slowed me down, in contrast to the written word,” Gerlach says. After graduating from art school, Gerlach took what he learned and traveled across the United States selling his prints at art fairs. It was the late 1980s, and Gerlach traveled roughly 90,000 miles a year, taking photos along the way. He was making $100,000 a year doing what he loved. But the emergence of digital photography changed everything. Photographers began to use Photoshop to create the hand-brushed quality of Gerlach’s photographs and told customers they were using the same process Gerlach was using. “I would hear them talking — complete lies,” he says. Rather than dive into digital, Gerlach moved into a photographic process that was quite unusual: the wet collodion (火棉胶) process, invented in 1851. The process involves coating a plate of glass or metal with collodion, followed by using a silver nitrate (硝酸银) bath to make the plate sensitive to light. The plate is then placed in a light-tight film holder, with the photo made almost immediately while the plate is still wet. It wasn’t easy when he first started, but Gerlach has always considered “constant problem solving” to be part of the creative process. It made Gerlach feel “present as an artist”. “I saw the final product right there in front of me. The same leaves on the tree that I’m standing in front of are on the image,” Gerlach explains. “The process allowed me to feel more like a photographer instead of a machine that printed prints to sell so I could make money. And when the final product works, nothing else compares to it.” 24. Luther Gerlach’s dyslexia ________. A. forced him to change his major B. drove him to go into business C. made him drop out of middle school D. affected his artistic performance 25. As digital photography emerged, Luther Gerlach ________. A. adopted a unique photographic technique B set off for new places to take photographs C. praised photographers for using Photoshop D. improved the hand-brushed quality of his photos 26. Why did Luther Gerlach prefer the wet collodion process? A. It was cheap and reliable. B. It was easy and efficient. C. It gave him artistic satisfaction. D. It helped him sell prints for profit. 27. What can we learn from this passage? A. Necessity inspires invention. B. Everything comes to those who wait. C Hope for the best; prepare for the worst. D. Dare to be different in a world of copycats. （五） （2025年·丰台·一模） For years, Robyn Elman, a nature advocate, has been passionately raising the endangered monarch butterflies in the cozy corner of her backyard. She collects the butterfly eggs from the milkweed plants — the only food for these delicate creatures — alongside the highways. Each time she goes on her journey to the highways, she hopes these little eggs, which are as precious as hidden treasures, will hatch (孵化) into many beautiful creatures. They will slowly make the group which is getting smaller gradually breathe new life. But reality destroyed her hopes last year. Instead of being greeted by the green milkweed plants, she was met with the desolate sight of mowed stubs (修剪过的草茬) and destroyed eggs. The milkweed plants had been cut down, and all left were short stubs. She felt a deep sense of loss. “Is there really no hope for these delicate, flying creatures?” she whispered to herself, her heart as heavy as a big piece of lead. Even as pain consumed her, Robyn remained determined. She teamed up with other nature lovers. They reached out to Frank Coniglio, the city’s director of highway maintenance, urging him to cut the butterflies a break. At first, Frank was doubtful. He thought, “How important can this be? What difference will it make? It’s just some butterflies and plants.” But as Robyn and her friends poured out their worries, and kept explaining the importance of the issue, Frank began to understand. He finally realised, “What happens to the butterflies is going to happen to us, isn’t it?”, as if a light bulb had suddenly switched on in his mind. Frank went to work on studying more about monarch butterflies, and finally he supported their cause, and took decisive action. He stopped mowing in certain areas, drawing an invisible line of protection. So far, around 20 patches of milkweed plants, like oases in the urban desert, have been protected across the city. “We’re making a real difference,” Frank said proudly. Thanks to their combined efforts, the monarch butterflies now have a brighter future, and the city’s ecosystem is on the path to positive transformation. 24. As a nature advocate, Robyn Elman ________. A. grows some milkweed in her backyard B. raises butterflies alongside the highway C. collects butterfly eggs and hatches them D. studies milkweed and proves them valuable 25. How did Robyn feel upon seeing the mowed stubs? A. Upset and disappointed. B. Angry and annoyed. C. Embarrassed and ashamed. D. Terrified and confused. 26. What did Frank do to help protect the monarch butterflies? A. He raised the awareness of the public. B. He studied the local natural ecosystem. C. He protected milkweed in certain areas. D. He moved the butterflies to a safe place. 27. What can we conclude from this passage? A. Wildlife conservation takes a back seat to urban development. B. Government policies play a main role in wildlife conservation. C. The damage of habitats has long-term impact on the ecosystem. D. Commitment and cooperation cause positive ecological outcomes. （六） （2025年·石景山·一模） In my early forties, I began painting with watercolours. Each brushstroke on paper turned into a personal language, allowing me to express the inexpressible. The feeling of colour being absorbed into the paper was calming, yet it left me longing for something deeper. Over time, I became more interested in oil paints. Although they took longer to dry, they offered me a sense of control. Layers of paints combined smoothly, creating a three-dimensional effect that watercolours couldn’t copy. Oil paints granted me the precious opportunity to take a few steps back, as if I were a curious explorer approaching a hidden landscape. However, working with oil paints wasn’t easy. Getting the right shine or thickness required patience, and at times, I felt annoyed by my lack of progress. Colours didn’t always behave as expected, and I struggled to achieve the vision in my mind. But the more I persisted, the more I understood oil paints. They balanced softness with depth, giving me the chance to create both delicate and grand images. The process of painting became reflective, a practice of exploring colours, textures (纹理) and emotions — sometimes rough, sometimes peaceful, but always rewarding. One evening, I noticed a strange shade of blue on my canvas (画布). It seemed out of place, as if it didn’t belong. My heart skipped a beat, and I stared at it, uncertain if it was part of my recent work or a trick of the eye. As I stepped back to examine the canvas, the blue shade slowly began to make sense. It was not an error but an invitation — an unplanned element that added depth to the piece in a way I hadn’t expected. At that moment, I realised that painting, much like life, was not about complete control but about embracing the unexpected. From then on, I approached my work with a new sense of curiosity. I let colours blend more freely, allowed accidental mistakes to become part of the composition, and accepted that every brushstroke carried its own story. Oil painting not only gave me a medium to express myself but also taught me patience, resilience, and the beauty of discovery. Looking at my finished work, I no longer saw just layers of paints. I saw moments of struggle, joy, and growth woven into the canvas — a reminder that art, like any, is as much about the process as it is about the final masterpiece. 24. Why did the author turn to oil paints? A. To enhance creativity. B. To save painting time. C. To seek deeper artistic control. D. To improve painting skills. 25. What challenge did the author face when working with oil paints? A. Balancing softness and sharpness. B. Creating a three-dimensional effect. C. Achieving the right shine and thickness. D. Controlling the drying time of the paints. 26. What message does the author want to convey? A. Art is a journey of welcoming imperfections. B. A good picture is worth a thousand words. C. Beauty is the ultimate goal of fine art. D. Creating is about exploring ideal self. （七） （2025年·房山·一模） Since he was a little boy, Mason, 18, has been a “tinkerer”. His mom says, “He is always building something and coming up with new inventions.” Four years ago, a video played at school demonstrated the dangers of getting trapped in grain and told the story of a farmer who had nearly lost his life in a grain bin (谷仓). That story stuck with Mason. He began researching how grain bins work and sketching ideas. He would wake up in the middle of the night with new ideas, turn on his light, and jot them down. Eventually, he came up with the idea of the Grain Gyre: an auger (螺旋钻) on the bottom of the bin that moves the crop up and dumps it back out on top in the center. This way, the farmer wouldn’t need to go into the bin and risk getting hurt. He shared his idea with his teacher, who encouraged him to build a model. Mason’s dad gave him full freedom to use all the parts and tools in his shed. It took a few tries, but Mason worked until his design came to life and did exactly what he wanted. Afterwards, Mason’s grandparents donated a grain bin and the corn needed to fill it from their farm. His brother poured the concrete. One of his friends did the electrical work. Today, a grain bin sits at the end of the driveway. Cameras inside the bin show the Grain Gyre in action on a screen set up next to the bin. The entire system can be controlled manually with a switch mounted on the bin or remotely from an app on the user’s smartphone or tablet. Mason is still thinking about ways to make the Grain Gyre better. He is developing a social media presence to share videos of how his invention actually works. The next step is to find a manufacturer to license and build the Grain Gyre. After graduating from high school, Mason plans to attend community college to become a mechanic specializing in engines. Mason could very well be close to becoming a successful businessman while still a teenager, but that’s not why he invented the Grain Gyre. He says his motivation remains the same today as when he first came up with the idea: “To keep farmers safe.” 24. What made Mason start thinking about the Grain Gyre? A. His experience of being trapped to a cornfield. B. His father’s encouragement to create a new invention. C. An invention that helps farmers address crop shortages. D. A story about a farmer nearly losing his life in a grain bin. 25. How did Mason’s family and friends help with the Grain Gyre? A. They provided resources and support. B. They assisted with designing the system. C. They funded the project and managed production. D. They posted a video of the invention on social media. 26. According to the last paragraph, we can learn that Mason is _______. A. extremely brave B. quietly ambitious C. socially responsible D. academically passionate 27. What can we conclude from this passage? A. Family teamwork leads to greater success. B. Caring innovation solves real-world dangers. C. Starting a business demands personal ambition. D. Formal education provides solutions to difficult problems. （八） （2025年·门头沟·一模） When Sarah was 12 years old, she was diagnosed with a rare condition that affected her ability to walk. Doctors told her she might never run again. But Sarah refused to accept this. She had always loved running, and the thought of losing it was unbearable. With determination and the support of her family, she began a long and difficult journey to regain her strength. For months, Sarah underwent physical therapy, spending hours each day relearning how to move her legs. Progress was slow, and there were days when she felt like giving up. But her mother always reminded her, “Every step forward, no matter how small, is a victory.” These words became Sarah’s motto, pushing her to keep going. She started by taking a few steps with a walker, then progressed to walking short distances on her own. Each milestone, no matter how small, filled her with hope. By the time she turned 15, Sarah had made significant progress. She could walk short distances without assistance, but running still seemed like a distant dream. That’s when she met Coach Miller, a former marathon runner who believed in her potential.

A string of good luck saved him, even though he lost a hand and a leg. Now, the 47-year-old is a motivational speaker and environmentalist. He was doing a counterterrorism training exercise with his mates when suddenly he felt that big hit on the back of his leg. A shark grabbed him by his right hand and the back of his right leg in the same bite and dragged him underwater. He remembered thinking, “Oh, I am not going home today.” And then the shark bit off his leg bone and took off his hand. The encounter only lasted about eight seconds, but anyone who’s been through unbearable pain will tell you it feels like forever. Luckily his diving suit made him float to the surface. He started to swim to his safety boat — only to realize his hand wasn’t there. He also had no clue whether he could feel his broken leg. It just so happened that his three teammates had seen what was going on and reached him before the shark did again. They pulled him into the boat, at which point he temporarily passed out. His surgeon eventually gave him a choice: keep his leg, knowing it would not properly function, or remove it and get a prosthetic (假肢). All of this was difficult to process emotionally. He always says that up until his incident, his two greatest fears were sharks and public speaking, and it took a shark attack and meeting with a bunch of kids who wanted to hear his story at a cancer charity for that all to change. For 30 minutes he was fortunate enough to hang out with these children who had grown up in the hospital and help take their minds off of what they were struggling with, if only for a short while. He walked out of the room on top of the world after seeing the effect it had on them. It gave him a purpose. It gave him value. And so he thought, “Okay, maybe I can do this.” 24. What was Paul’s feeling after being attacked by a shark? A. He felt powerful. B. He felt like a hero. C. He felt rather desperate. D. He felt very embarrassed. 25. How did Paul’s teammates help him after the shark attack? A. They managed to kill the shark. B. They dragged him into the safety boat. C. They phoned an ambulance immediately. D. They rapidly applied a belt to stop the bleeding. 26. What was the turning point for Paul in terms of his fears and outlook on life? A. Having his leg cut. B. Receiving medical treatment. C. Reviewing the site of his attack. D. Meeting with kids at a cancer charity. 27. What can we learn from the passage? A. Purpose is a cure of anxiety. B. One’s potential may be underrated. C. Someone could rise again from the ashes. D. Everything comes to those who are innovative. （十） （2025年·顺义·一模） In 2010, four friends, carrying 32 kg worth of camera equipment, sunk beneath the waves of Sodwana Bay, off the east coast of South Africa. It was then that photographer, Laurent Ballesta stared directly into the eyes of a creature once thought to have died out with the dinosaurs — making him the first diver to photograph a living coelacanth (腔棘鱼). But what does it take to be a truly great ocean photographer? Danger, says Ballesta. “I realised that every time a dive is easy, my photos are not good,” he says. “I need to feel I’m in an uncomfortable situation to give my best. If you put me in the Red Sea in 20 m of warm water — I don’t take better images than others.” In an extreme situation on the other hand — one in which he feels he shouldn’t be allowed, that his time is limited, there is an urgency — a switch clicks. Thanks to Ballesta’s work, we now know the coelacanth is among the longest-living fish species, with a life of around 100 years, and has one of the slowest life histories of all ocean fish. Long-lived species are especially sensitive to natural and human stressors, and it is only by observing these creatures in their own habitat that we can really begin to understand them. The coelacanth exploration was a springboard for Ballesta’s exploration career. In2019, Ballesta pioneered a new diving technique, which would allow commercial divers to sink to great depths. He used an electronically managed rebreather for autonomous deep sea exploration — making him the first person to take what could be described as an untied spacewalk deep under the ocean. Ballesta is both an artist and a scientist. His work acts as a window into the unknown — one that we can all look through. 24. What was Laurent Ballesta’s significant achievement in 2010? A. Exploring beneath the Sodwana Bay. B. Taking photos of a living coelacanth. C. Finding the secret of dinosaur extinction. D. Diving with the heaviest camera equipment. 25. What makes Laurent Ballesta give his best? A. Fierce competitions. B. New diving technique. C. Sea animal knowledge. D. Challenging situations. 26. We learn that long-lived fish species ___________. A. live a life of over 100 years B. have the slowest life histories C. are sensitive to human activities D. are easy to adapt to new ecosystems 27. What kind of person is Laurent Ballesta? A. Careful and passionate. B. Brave and creative. C. Modest and hardworking. D. Tough and competitive. 2 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 专题04 阅读理解——记叙文类 编者按：2025年北京十区高三一模分类整理，深度解析，排版整齐。 （一） （2025年·海淀·一模） I had wanted to be a cellist for as long as I could remember.

Days became weeks. I still could not write or play. Weeks turned into months. Opportunities for concerts, recitals, and competitions came and went. When I wasn’t sitting with my instrument, I was punishing myself for my own stupidity. My technique had probably not been secure enough for the demands I was placing on it. But now it was too late. Over two years, I gradually recovered some arm function. I was able to play some early music such as Handel and Bach, on a baroque cello, as the movements are gentler and lighter. However, the possibility of my arm letting me down has never left me. The turning point came, unexpectedly, during a photoshoot for an up-to-date picture. The photographer suggested I get my cello and see what images of playing might look like. I hesitated — I didn’t see myself as a cellist any more. But then I fetched it and sat playing snatches of Bach. In that moment, the lens pointing at my instrument and me, I began to understand something I had only half sensed until then. Away from my cello, my shadow was missing. Without it I felt incomplete. But with my instrument I was protected and entirely happy in my own skin. During that photoshoot I realised I needed to find out what the cello, and its absence, had meant to other cellists, to understand what it meant to me. So I planned a journey across Europe. I encountered cellos destroyed by war and shipwreck, and even a cello tat had been turned into a beehive. I even played with a resourceful cellist, who, having lost the use of his right thumb, ties his bow onto his hand with a bicycle inner tube. Over the course of my travels, I learned I was not alone. Besides, my experience might help others. I am also beginning to look for ways to return to the repertoire (曲目) I loved.

His interest was awakened when he received a drone (无人机) in the fourth grade, stimulating a curiosity about how machines work. By 14, he had taught himself computer science and created his first video game on Roblox. However, Uday’s passion wasn’t limited to coding and gadgets — he was deeply aware of societal issues. During the pandemic, he developed FindOurTutor, an e-tutoring platform to help students continue learning remotely. At 16, Uday, as part of a mentorship program, visited Bichpuri village in Uttar Pradesh and discovered a critical problem: the villagers faced six-to-eight-hour-long power outages. “When I learned that children were using flashlights and kerosene lamps to study, I wanted to find a solution,” he recalls. His research revealed that while most villages in India had been electrified, unreliable power supply remained a continuing issue in many rural areas, with some states like Rajasthan and Uttarakhand enduring power cuts lasting 10 to 12 hours a day. Determined to help, Uday spent the next six months learning from instructional videos and gathering second-hand components. He worked in his terrace (屋顶) workshop, experimenting with different designs until he developed the Smart OutageGuard (OG), a low-cost backup lightbulb (灯泡) with a lithium-ion battery. The bulb, priced at Rs 250, about half the cost of other options, features dynamic-lumen technology and pulse-width modulation, which allows users to adjust the brightness. This feature extends the bulb’s illumination capacity to up to 10 hours, depending on the brightness level. Since its launch in May 2022, Smart OG bulbs have reached 10,000 homes across eight states. Uday also founded Uday Electric, a for-profit venture that collaborates with distributors, NGOs, retailers, and CSR programs to provide affordable lighting to semi-electrified rural areas. For non-electrified regions, he developed the Glow Grid, a solar-powered lamp, launched this month. Uday’s innovations have earned him several awards, including the 2023 Diana Legacy Award. His long-term goal is to provide low-cost energy to every home, and he’s just getting started. 24. Uday Bhatia’s experience in Bichpuri village influenced him to ________. A. develop an interest in computer science B. create a low-cost, backup-based lightbulb C. launch an e-tutoring platform for students D. study power supply systems in other villages 25.

The reporter in me was trying to remember everything: the preflight rituals (仪式); the jokes; the way the jumpers checked their instruments. The rest of me was focused on the fact that in a few minutes, I would jump out of a plane flying 12,500 feet above the ground. I was reporting on West Ways, a group of skydivers in their late 50s to early 90s. The group was started in 1987 by Ms. West and her husband, and members have jumped together about once a month ever since. This Sunday, they were celebrating their holiday party, which included a gift exchange and a 28-point formation in free fall. As we reached altitude, Mr. West went over the jump formation once more before leading the group in a cheer for my jump. It was time. One by one they jumped. In the air, they grabbed hold of one another, forming the shape of a snowflake. Then it was my turn. Mr. Diaz edged me forward. I took a deep breath. And on the count of three, we leaped into free fall. I had never been so aware of my senses: I felt the cold air against my face and the wind pushing back my arms and legs. After a few seconds, I was able to look around. After a few minutes, we landed. The members of West Ways cheered and clapped me on the back as I tried to catch my breath. Over the next six hours, I interviewed them as they did two more jumps. (I stayed firmly on the ground.) I heard tales about first kisses in free fall and parachuting (跳伞) into weddings. What struck me wasn’t the extraordinary physical accomplishment, but how a long-standing, active community offers a way for those in it to age gracefully. I don’t know whether I’ll skydive again. But I hope that when I’m 80, I can regularly experience a suspension of time with people I’ve known for decades, before we parachute back down to earth. 24. What do we know about West Ways? A. They make jumping a routine. B. They are well trained professionals. C. They set an age limit to new members. D. They are famous for their diving patterns. 25. Why did the author join West Ways that day? A. To celebrate a holiday. B. To try a sport. C. To care for the elderly. D. To cover a story. 26. What impressed the author most about West Ways? A Their optimistic attitude. B. Their lifelong bond. C. Their physical achievements. D. Their remarkable skills. 【答案】24. A 25. D 26.

(但我希望当我 80 岁的时候，我能经常和我认识了几十年的人一起体验时间的暂停，然后我们再跳伞回到地面。)”可知，作者最印象深刻的是West Ways成员之间那种终生的联系和情谊。故选B。 （四） （2025年·朝阳·一模） Luther Gerlach’s images enrich the permanent collections of the J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles and the National Portrait Gallery in London, among other institutions. While studying his work, one cannot help but revisit the journey he undertook in pursuit of art. Gerlach has dyslexia, a condition that makes it difficult for him to read and spell, and in middle school, it began to affect his studies. At the University of Minnesota, where Gerlach studied biology, his struggle with writing reached a tipping point. Gerlach left the university and entered art school. “Art has never been something that slowed me down, in contrast to the written word,” Gerlach says. After graduating from art school, Gerlach took what he learned and traveled across the United States selling his prints at art fairs. It was the late 1980s, and Gerlach traveled roughly 90,000 miles a year, taking photos along the way. He was making $100,000 a year doing what he loved. But the emergence of digital photography changed everything. Photographers began to use Photoshop to create the hand-brushed quality of Gerlach’s photographs and told customers they were using the same process Gerlach was using. “I would hear them talking — complete lies,” he says. Rather than dive into digital, Gerlach moved into a photographic process that was quite unusual: the wet collodion (火棉胶) process, invented in 1851. The process involves coating a plate of glass or metal with collodion, followed by using a silver nitrate (硝酸银) bath to make the plate sensitive to light. The plate is then placed in a light-tight film holder, with the photo made almost immediately while the plate is still wet. It wasn’t easy when he first started, but Gerlach has always considered “constant problem solving” to be part of the creative process. It made Gerlach feel “present as an artist”. “I saw the final product right there in front of me. The same leaves on the tree that I’m standing in front of are on the image,” Gerlach explains. “The process allowed me to feel more like a photographer instead of a machine that printed prints to sell so I could make money. And when the final product works, nothing else compares to it.” 24. Luther Gerlach’s dyslexia ________. A. forced him to change his major B. drove him to go into business C. made him drop out of middle school D. affected his artistic performance 25. As digital photography emerged, Luther Gerlach ________. A. adopted a unique photographic technique B set off for new places to take photographs C. praised photographers for using Photoshop D. improved the hand-brushed quality of his photos 26. Why did Luther Gerlach prefer the wet collodion process? A. It was cheap and reliable. B. It was easy and efficient. C. It gave him artistic satisfaction. D. It helped him sell prints for profit. 27. What can we learn from this passage? A. Necessity inspires invention. B. Everything comes to those who wait. C Hope for the best; prepare for the worst. D. Dare to be different in a world of copycats. 【答案】24. A 25. A 26. C 27. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了患有阅读障碍症的Luther Gerlach追求艺术生涯的历程。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“At the University of Minnesota, where Gerlach studied biology, his struggle with writing reached a tipping point. Gerlach left the university and entered art school.(在Gerlach学习生物学的明尼苏达大学，他在写作上的困难达到了一个临界点。Gerlach离开大学，进入了艺术学院)”可知，阅读障碍症迫使Gerlach放弃了生物专业，改学艺术专业。故选A。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Rather than dive into digital, Gerlach moved into a photographic process that was quite unusual: the wet collodion (火棉胶) process, invented in 1851.(Gerlach没有深入研究数码技术，而是转向了一种相当不同寻常的摄影方法：1851年发明的湿胶法)”可知，当数码摄影出现时，Gerlach没有跟风研究它， 而是采用了一种独特的摄影技术。故选A。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“It wasn’t easy when he first started, but Gerlach has always considered “constant problem solving” to be part of the creative process. It made Gerlach feel “present as an artist”.(刚开始的时候并不容易，但Gerlach一直认为“不断解决问题”是创作过程的一部分，这让Gerlach感到“作为一名艺术家的存在”)”和“The process allowed me to feel more like a photographer instead of a machine that printed prints to sell so I could make money. And when the final product works, nothing else compares to it.(这个过程让我觉得自己更像是一个摄影师，而不是一台打印印刷品出售的机器，这样我就可以赚钱。当最终产品成功时，没有什么能与之相比)”可知，Gerlach更喜欢这种湿胶法的过程，是因为这个创作过程让他感受到自己是一名艺术家，最终的作品也是无与伦比的，从而能够获得艺术上的满足感。故选C。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Rather than dive into digital, Gerlach moved into a photographic process that was quite unusual: the wet collodion (火棉胶) process, invented in 1851.(Gerlach没有深入研究数码技术，而是转向了一种相当不同寻常的摄影方法：1851年发明的湿胶法)”和最后一段“The process allowed me to feel more like a photographer instead of a machine that printed prints to sell so I could make money.

She collects the butterfly eggs from the milkweed plants — the only food for these delicate creatures — alongside the highways. Each time she goes on her journey to the highways, she hopes these little eggs, which are as precious as hidden treasures, will hatch (孵化) into many beautiful creatures. They will slowly make the group which is getting smaller gradually breathe new life. But reality destroyed her hopes last year. Instead of being greeted by the green milkweed plants, she was met with the desolate sight of mowed stubs (修剪过的草茬) and destroyed eggs. The milkweed plants had been cut down, and all left were short stubs. She felt a deep sense of loss. “Is there really no hope for these delicate, flying creatures?” she whispered to herself, her heart as heavy as a big piece of lead. Even as pain consumed her Robyn remained determined. She teamed up with other nature lovers. They reached out to Frank Coniglio, the city’s director of highway maintenance, urging him to cut the butterflies a break. At first, Frank was doubtful. He thought, “How important can this be? What difference will it make? It’s just some butterflies and plants.” But as Robyn and her friends poured out their worries, and kept explaining the importance of the issue, Frank began to understand. He finally realised, “What happens to the butterflies is going to happen to us, isn’t it?”, as if a light bulb had suddenly switched on in his mind. Frank went to work on studying more about monarch butterflies, and finally he supported their cause, and took decisive action. He stopped mowing in certain areas, drawing an invisible line of protection. So far, around 20 patches of milkweed plants, like oases in the urban desert, have been protected across the city. “We’re making a real difference,” Frank said proudly. Thanks to their combined efforts, the monarch butterflies now have a brighter future, and the city’s ecosystem is on the path to positive transformation. 24. As a nature advocate, Robyn Elman ________. A. grows some milkweed in her backyard B. raises butterflies alongside the highway C. collects butterfly eggs and hatches them D. studies milkweed and proves them valuable 25. How did Robyn feel upon seeing the mowed stubs? A. Upset and disappointed. B. Angry and annoyed. C. Embarrassed and ashamed. D. Terrified and confused. 26. What did Frank do to help protect the monarch butterflies? A. He raised the awareness of the public. B. He studied the local natural ecosystem. C. He protected milkweed in certain areas. D. He moved the butterflies to a safe place. 27. What can we conclude from this passage? A. Wildlife conservation takes a back seat to urban development. B. Government policies play a main role in wildlife conservation. C. The damage of habitats has long-term impact on the ecosystem. D. Commitment and cooperation cause positive ecological outcomes. 【答案】24. C 25. A 26. C 27.

Each brushstroke on paper turned into a personal language, allowing me to express the inexpressible. The feeling of colour being absorbed into the paper was calming, yet it left me longing for something deeper. Over time, I became more interested in oil paints. Although they took longer to dry, they offered me a sense of control. Layers of paints combined smoothly, creating a three-dimensional effect that watercolours couldn’t copy. Oil paints granted me the precious opportunity to take a few steps back, as if I were a curious explorer approaching a hidden landscape. However, working with oil paints wasn’t easy. Getting the right shine or thickness required patience, and at times, I felt annoyed by my lack of progress. Colours didn’t always behave as expected, and I struggled to achieve the vision in my mind. But the more I persisted, the more I understood oil paints. They balanced softness with depth, giving me the chance to create both delicate and grand images. The process of painting became reflective, a practice of exploring colours, textures (纹理) and emotions — sometimes rough, sometimes peaceful, but always rewarding. One evening, I noticed a strange shade of blue on my canvas (画布). It seemed out of place, as if it didn’t belong. My heart skipped a beat, and I stared at it, uncertain if it was part of my recent work or a trick of the eye. As I stepped back to examine the canvas, the blue shade slowly began to make sense. It was not an error but an invitation — an unplanned element that added depth to the piece in a way I hadn’t expected. At that moment, I realised that painting, much like life, was not about complete control but about embracing the unexpected. From then on, I approached my work with a new sense of curiosity. I let colours blend more freely, allowed accidental mistakes to become part of the composition, and accepted that every brushstroke carried its own story. Oil painting not only gave me a medium to express myself but also taught me patience, resilience, and the beauty of discovery. Looking at my finished work, I no longer saw just layers of paints. I saw moments of struggle, joy, and growth woven into the canvas — a reminder that art, like any, is as much about the process as it is about the final masterpiece. 24. Why did the author turn to oil paints? A. To enhance creativity. B. To save painting time. C. To seek deeper artistic control. D. To improve painting skills. 25. What challenge did the author face when working with oil paints? A. Balancing softness and sharpness. B. Creating a three-dimensional effect. C. Achieving the right shine and thickness. D. Controlling the drying time of the paints. 26. What message does the author want to convey? A. Art is a journey of welcoming imperfections. B. A good picture is worth a thousand words. C. Beauty is the ultimate goal of fine art. D. Creating is about exploring ideal self. 【答案】24. C 25. C 26. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。本文讲述了作者从水彩画转向油画的过程，以及在油画创作中所遇到的挑战和感悟。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Over time, I became more interested in oil paints.

I saw moments of struggle, joy, and growth woven into the canvas — a reminder that art, like any, is as much about the process as it is about the final masterpiece.(看着我完成的作品，我不再只是看到一层层的颜料。我看到了挣扎、喜悦和成长的瞬间交织在画布上——这提醒我们，艺术和其他任何事物一样，既关乎过程，也关乎最终的杰作。)”可知，作者想要传达的信息是艺术是一场接纳不完美的旅程。故选A。 （七） （2025年·房山·一模） Since he was a little boy, Mason, 18, has been a “tinkerer”. His mom says, “He is always building something and coming up with new inventions.” Four years ago, a video played at school demonstrated the dangers of getting trapped in grain and told the story of a farmer who had nearly lost his life in a grain bin (谷仓). That story stuck with Mason. He began researching how grain bins work and sketching ideas. He would wake up in the middle of the night with new ideas, turn on his light, and jot them down. Eventually, he came up with the idea of the Grain Gyre: an auger (螺旋钻) on the bottom of the bin that moves the crop up and dumps it back out on top in the center. This way, the farmer wouldn’t need to go into the bin and risk getting hurt. He shared his idea with his teacher, who encouraged him to build a model. Mason’s dad gave him full freedom to use all the parts and tools in his shed. It took a few tries, but Mason worked until his design came to life and did exactly what he wanted. Afterwards, Mason’s grandparents donated a grain bin and the corn needed to fill it from their farm. His brother poured the concrete. One of his friends did the electrical work. Today, a grain bin sits at the end of the driveway. Cameras inside the bin show the Grain Gyre in action on a screen set up next to the bin. The entire system can be controlled manually with a switch mounted on the bin or remotely from an app on the user’s smartphone or tablet. Mason is still thinking about ways to make the Grain Gyre better. He is developing a social media presence to share videos of how his invention actually works. The next step is to find a manufacturer to license and build the Grain Gyre. After graduating from high school, Mason plans to attend community college to become a mechanic specializing in engines. Mason could very well be close to becoming a successful businessman while still a teenager, but that’s not why he invented the Grain Gyre. He says his motivation remains the same today as when he first came up with the idea: “To keep farmers safe.” 24. What made Mason start thinking about the Grain Gyre? A. His experience of being trapped to a cornfield. B. His father’s encouragement to create a new invention. C. An invention that helps farmers address crop shortages. D. A story about a farmer nearly losing his life in a grain bin. 25. How did Mason’s family and friends help with the Grain Gyre? A. They provided resources and support. B. They assisted with designing the system. C. They funded the project and managed production. D. They posted a video of the invention on social media. 26. According to the last paragraph, we can learn that Mason is _______. A. extremely brave B. quietly ambitious C. socially responsible D. academically passionate 27. What can we conclude from this passage? A. Family teamwork leads to greater success. B. Caring innovation solves real-world dangers. C. Starting a business demands personal ambition. D.

This way, the farmer wouldn’t need to go into the bin and risk getting hurt.(他开始研究粮仓是如何工作的，并勾勒出一些想法。他会在半夜醒来，突然有了新的想法，打开灯，把它们记下来。最终，他想出了“谷物环流”的想法：在垃圾桶底部安装一个螺旋钻，它可以将农作物向上移动，并将其倒回顶部的中央。这样，农民就不需要冒着受伤的风险进入谷仓)”和最后一段“He says his motivation remains the same today as when he first came up with the idea: “To keep farmers safe.”(他说，今天他的动机和他第一次提出这个想法时一样：“保证农民的安全。”)”并结合文章主要讲述了梅森因为看到一个农民在粮仓里差点丧命的故事，于是有了“谷物环流”的想法，让农民就不需要冒着受伤的风险进入谷仓可知，关怀创新解决了现实世界的危险。故选B。 （八） （2025年·门头沟·一模） When Sarah was 12 years old, she was diagnosed with a rare condition that affected her ability to walk. Doctors told her she might never run again. But Sarah refused to accept this. She had always loved running, and the thought of losing it was unbearable. With determination and the support of her family, she began a long and difficult journey to regain her strength. For months, Sarah underwent physical therapy, spending hours each day relearning how to move her legs. Progress was slow, and there were days when she felt like giving up. But her mother always reminded her, “Every step forward, no matter how small, is a victory.” These words became Sarah’s motto, pushing her to keep going. She started by taking a few steps with a walker, then progressed to walking short distances on her own. Each milestone, no matter how small, filled her with hope. By the time she turned 15, Sarah had made significant progress. She could walk short distances without assistance, but running still seemed like a distant dream. That’s when she met Coach Miller, a former marathon runner who believed in her potential. He designed a special training program for Sarah, focusing on building her endurance and confidence. “You have the heart of a runner,” he told her. “Now we just need to train your body to keep up.” The first time Sarah tried to run, she only managed a few steps before collapsing in tears. But Coach Miller was there, encouraging her to try again. “Failure is just a step on the path to success,” he said. Over the next year, Sarah trained tirelessly, gradually increasing her distance and speed. She faced setbacks, including muscle pain and moments of self-doubt, but she never gave up. At 17, Sarah entered her first race — a local 5K. She didn’t win, but she crossed the finish line with a smile on her face. For Sarah, it wasn’t about winning; it was about proving to herself that she could do it. Today, Sarah is a competitive runner and an inspiration to others facing challenges. Her story reminds us that with persistence and support, even the toughest obstacles can be overcome. 24. What was Sarah’s initial reaction to her disease? A. She accepted it immediately. B. She felt relieved to stop running. C. She decided to focus on other hobbies. D. She didn’t believe she couldn’t run again. 25. Which word would best describe Sarah’s mother’s words? A. Imaginative. B. Encouraging. C. Constructive. D. Entertaining. 26. Why did Coach Miller’s training program focus on endurance and confidence? A. Because Sarah needed to overcome physical and mental barriers. B. Because Sarah had little potential in running long distances. C. Because Sarah wanted to win races quickly. D. Because Sarah suffered from muscle pain. 27. What did Sarah’s participation in the 5K race show? A. Her need to impress others. B Her determination to win at all costs. C. Her desire to prove her ability to herself. D. Her acceptance of her physical limitations. 【答案】24. D 25. B 26. A 27.

A string of good luck saved him, even though he lost a hand and a leg. Now, the 47-year-old is a motivational speaker and environmentalist. He was doing a counterterrorism training exercise with his mates when suddenly he felt that big hit on the back of his leg. A shark grabbed him by his right hand and the back of his right leg in the same bite and dragged him underwater. He remembered thinking, “Oh, I am not going home today.” And then the shark bit off his leg bone and took off his hand. The encounter only lasted about eight seconds, but anyone who’s been through unbearable pain will tell you it feels like forever. Luckily his diving suit made him float to the surface. He started to swim to his safety boat — only to realize his hand wasn’t there. He also had no clue whether he could feel his broken leg. It just so happened that his three teammates had seen what was going on and reached him before the shark did again. They pulled him into the boat, at which point he temporarily passed out. His surgeon eventually gave him a choice: keep his leg, knowing it would not properly function, or remove it and get a prosthetic (假肢). All of this was difficult to process emotionally. He always says that up until his incident, his two greatest fears were sharks and public speaking, and it took a shark attack and meeting with a bunch of kids who wanted to hear his story at a cancer charity for that all to change. For 30 minutes he was fortunate enough to hang out with these children who had grown up in the hospital and help take their minds off of what they were struggling with, if only for a short while. He walked out of the room on top of the world after seeing the effect it had on them. It gave him a purpose. It gave him value. And so he thought, “Okay, maybe I can do this.” 24. What was Paul’s feeling after being attacked by a shark? A. He felt powerful. B. He felt like a hero. C. He felt rather desperate. D. He felt very embarrassed. 25. How did Paul’s teammates help him after the shark attack? A. They managed to kill the shark. B. They dragged him into the safety boat. C. They phoned an ambulance immediately. D. They rapidly applied a belt to stop the bleeding. 26. What was the turning point for Paul in terms of his fears and outlook on life? A. Having his leg cut. B. Receiving medical treatment. C. Reviewing the site of his attack. D. Meeting with kids at a cancer charity. 27. What can we learn from the passage? A. Purpose is a cure of anxiety. B. One’s potential may be underrated. C. Someone could rise again from the ashes. D. Everything comes to those who are innovative. 【答案】24. C 25. B 26. D 27.

It was then that photographer, Laurent Ballesta stared directly into the eyes of a creature once thought to have died out with the dinosaurs — making him the first diver to photograph a living coelacanth (腔棘鱼). But what does it take to be a truly great ocean photographer? Danger, says Ballesta. “I realised that every time a dive is easy, my photos are not good,” he says. “I need to feel I’m in an uncomfortable situation to give my best. If you put me in the Red Sea in 20 m of warm water — I don’t take better images than others.” In an extreme situation on the other hand — one in which he feels he shouldn’t be allowed, that his time is limited, there is an urgency — a switch clicks. Thanks to Ballesta’s work, we now know the coelacanth is among the longest-living fish species, with a life of around 100 years, and has one of the slowest life histories of all ocean fish. Long-lived species are especially sensitive to natural and human stressors, and it is only by observing these creatures in their own habitat that we can really begin to understand them. The coelacanth exploration was a springboard for Ballesta’s exploration career. In2019, Ballesta pioneered a new diving technique, which would allow commercial divers to sink to great depths. He used an electronically managed rebreather for autonomous deep sea exploration — making him the first person to take what could be described as an untied spacewalk deep under the ocean. Ballesta is both an artist and a scientist. His work acts as a window into the unknown — one that we can all look through. 24. What was Laurent Ballesta’s significant achievement in 2010? A. Exploring beneath the Sodwana Bay. B. Taking photos of a living coelacanth. C. Finding the secret of dinosaur extinction. D. Diving with the heaviest camera equipment. 25. What makes Laurent Ballesta give his best? A. Fierce competitions. B. New diving technique. C. Sea animal knowledge. D. Challenging situations. 26. We learn that long-lived fish species ___________. A. live a life of over 100 years B. have the slowest life histories C. are sensitive to human activities D. are easy to adapt to new ecosystems 27. What kind of person is Laurent Ballesta? A. Careful and passionate. B. Brave and creative. C. Modest and hardworking. D. Tough and competitive. 【答案】24. B 25. D 26. C 27. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了海洋摄影师Laurent Ballesta在2010年拍摄到了被认为已经灭绝的腔棘鱼的活体照片，这一成就开启了他的探索生涯。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“It was then that photographer, Laurent Ballesta stared directly into the eyes of a creature once thought to have died out with the dinosaurs — making him the first diver to photograph a living coelacanth.(就在那时，摄影师Laurent Ballesta直视着一种曾被认为与恐龙一起灭绝的生物的眼睛——这使他成为第一个拍摄到活体腔棘鱼照片的潜水员。)”可知，Laurent Ballesta在2010年的重大成就是拍摄到活着的腔棘鱼的照片。故选B。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“I need to feel I’m in an uncomfortable situation to give my best.(我需要感觉到自己处于不舒服的环境中，才能全力以赴。)”可知，让Laurent Ballesta全力以赴的是具有挑战性的环境。故选D。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Long-lived species are especially sensitive to natural and human stressors.(长寿物种对自然和人类压力因素特别敏感。)”可知，长寿鱼类对人类活动很敏感。故选C。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“I need to feel I’m in an uncomfortable situation to give my best.(我需要感觉到自己处于不舒服的环境中，才能全力以赴。)”和第四段“He used an electronically managed rebreather for autonomous deep sea exploration — making him the first person to take what could be described as an untied spacewalk deep under the ocean.(他使用电子管理的循环呼吸器进行自主深海探索——这使他成为第一个在深海进行所谓‘无束缚太空漫步’的人。)”此可知，Laurent Ballesta是一个勇敢且有创造力的人。故选B。 2 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
