I used to want to be a zookeeper, but after becoming a wildlife rescue worker, I found that this work is even more valuable than I thought. Not only can I help injured wild animals, but I can also facilitate their return to the wild. We make every effort to accomplish this goal: hiding food under rocks and fallen leaves to simulate (模拟) a natural environment, or doing our best to maintain some distance from the animals and prevent them from bonding with humans.
I am often asked whether I feel at all sad when it’s time to release the animals — to tell you the truth, I’m always pretty willing to let them go. All of my efforts have been toward allowing them to return to the wild, and the wild is where they belong, so there’s no reason for reluctance on my part. But it is true that sometimes there is no way for an animal to go back to the wild, or to keep it from bonding with humans.
Last year, I rescued a light-vented bulbul (白头鹎). The bird, initially lacking feathers, recovered under our care. It was scheduled for release during its adolescent period, during which it’s relatively easy to socialize. But an injury to its flight feathers delayed its return to the wild. The bird imprinted on humans during the following two months, which was a critical cognitive (认知的) development period, leading it to return to us after being released.
When we engage in wildlife rescue, we have to teach animals how to maintain a high degree of caution around humans. If they become too trusting of humans, it is very likely that way, our success depends not on the animals, or on our work here, but more so on the attitude humans would not be a bad thing, and our release attempt could then be successful.
24.What do we know about the author’s job?
A.It was his initial career choice.
B.It forbids close interaction with animals.
C.It mainly aims to cure the injured animals.
D.It involves both rescue and release efforts.

A.Ambitious. B.Cheerful. C.Sorrowful. D.Anxious.
26.Which is closest in meaning to “imprinted on” in paragraph 3?
A.Was attached to. B.Was aware of.
C.Was sensitive to. D.Was cautious of.
27.What is the key to the success of wildlife rescue work?

She came into my life when I was eight years old. My dad found her. She was getting lost and starving. He took one look at her, opened the door and she jumped in. Mom and Dad fed her and gave her a bath.
As a girl, I had always wanted a dog. My parents told me when I was old enough and responsible, I could have one. When I got home, I was greeted with many puppy kisses. A very special friendship was born that day.
Now she needed a name. My older brother laughed at her and said her tail was deformed. It didn’t wag its tail back and forth, instead, it went in a circle. He said, “She’s squirrely.”Thus my puppy, Squirrely got her name.
Squirrely was a smart dog. I taught her to play hide and seek. We would play for hours, spending our days learning and growing together.
Eleven years we were together, best of friends. Arthritis (关节炎) and old age set in on her. My parents knew what had to be done, but they stood back and let me make the decision myself.

I carried her into the pet doctor’s office and placed her on the table. Squirrely leaned her head forward and gave a lick to my hand, as if to say she understood. Her tail was wagging in that circle as it always did.
When the pet doctor said “It’s over”, I wrapped her up in her favorite blanket, and carried her out.

I was attending a conference about contemporary art among many art scholars in the field. I greeted others and introduced myself as a psychology Ph. D.student who would present research on how the brain reacts to art. A distinguished scholar said, “Why are you here? You seem a little bit out of place.” Silence faded, and then whispers like that rose just because I was an interdisciplinary (跨学科的) attendee.
Years earlier, when I was a student in cognitive neuroscience (认知神经学), my professors advised me, “Choose one interest and pursue a single goal.” I knew they were giving me valuable advice. But the reality was that I was attracted by many subjects besides neuroscience. Art was always an important part of my life. I was also fascinated by new technology and how it allowed researchers to explore uncharted waters.
So, I disregarded my professors’ ad vice and looked for ways to develop all my passions. For a while, it seemed an impossible mission. Finally, I participated in a Ph. D.project that involved the study of art history and technologies that allowed people to have new aesthetic (美学的) experiences. However, the research journey didn’t go smoothly as expected. Each scientific conference I attended, regardless of its focus, left me feeling like a cheater, as academics tried to put me into a known professional category. I seemed to be setting myself up for being a jack-of-all-trades but a master of none.
I felt quite stressed about where I should belong and was at a loss about my future. One day, I attended an art exhibit at a local museum. It focused on one of the most famous advocates of interdisciplinarity in history: Leonardo da Vinci, an artist, scientist, and inventor. I hung on the words of the museum guide: “Had he not been interested in diverse subjects, his achievements wouldn’t have been so shining.”
These simple words renewed my determination. I spoke out my unique perspective to other scholars, emphasizing that I didn’t profess to be an expert in any field. And I was determined to combine knowledge and promote interdisciplinary connections.
24.How did scholars at the conference respond to the author’s introduction?
A.They went crazy about his report.
B.They were amazed at his young age.
C.They were unconcerned about his major.
D.They were doubtful about his expertise.
25.What did the professors advise the author to do?
A.Narrow his research focus.
B.Be innovative in the art field.
C.Pursue his passion for learning.
D.Turn to distinguished scholars.

A.To persuade readers to be his advocates.
B.To praise him for his great achievements.
C.To explain the reason for the author’s resolve.
D.To make a contrast between him and the author.
27.What can be the best title for the text?
A.My advantage of being a jack-of-all-trades.
B.My fascination with cognitive neuroscience.
C.My journey as an interdisciplinary researcher.
D.My struggles of balancing hobbies against work.

“You'll be blind by the time you're twenty-five,” a doctor at Children's Hospital predicted. “Your blood sugars are much too high.” It consumed me. No mater where I was or what I was doing, it was overhead like a dark cloud, waiting for just the right opportunity to break open and destroy my world.
I liked painting. Losing myself in painting filled me with peace. Painting provided me with the only place where I could escape from those threatening words.
When I was 2l years old, my right eye went blind. Precisely three months after I was 25, I had a massive hemorrhage (大出血) in my left eye because of an accident. For the next twenty years, vision came and went. I went through many eye operations in an attempt to keep my vision. But after one final operation, I lost the battle and all remaining vision. And I buried all dreams of painting.
Desperate, I enrolled in (注册) a sixteen-week program for the blind and visually impaired (视力受损). I learned personal adjustment and the use of a computer with adaptive software. A whole new world opened up to me through this program as a turning point.
“Jaws and Window-Eyes are leading software for the blind.” my instructor told me. “You can use the Internet, e-mail and Microsoft with all its tools and features.” It's amazing! Hope went up for the first time in years. “By learning how to use hot keys to control the mouse, you can use Microsoft Access, Excel and PowerPoint,” my instructor added.
For the next several years, I learned that when one door closes, another door opens. There are plenty of choices available for the blind and visually impaired through the gift of technology. Not only do I have a speaking computer, but I have a speaking watch, alarm clock and calculator.
24.What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 1 refer to?
A.The right opportunity. B.Losing my sight in the future.

I’m a 66-year-old harp (竖琴) student. Others in my class are five, seven, ten... I fancy myself a source of inspiration for them, who would say, “If he can do it, I can, too!”
For some years before we stepped on the real stage, our recitals (演奏会) were given online. I could play perfectly — when no one was looking. But those online recitals caused me a kind of stage fright. Something about being watched and recorded, perhaps? Anyway, it was not too serious.
However, last year was a whole new ball game. That spring came with a real stage. An excited crowd. Clapping. Filming. A real recital! Exciting but stressful. I didn’t know if I could handle it.
The adorable little performers were delicately dressed in their party-best skirts, with leather shoes hanging beneath too-high chairs, unable to reach the ground. Luckily, I could. We sat among the guests before the show, struck by their excitement. One by one, up and down, my fellow students went — each playing superbly. Then, it was my turn. I thought I was ready.
But I struggled from the start. I kept my fingers moving. Sound still radiated from the strings, but the tune was all wrong. I restarted both pieces three times. When I got totally lost for a few notes in the middle, I thought, “I don’t know what this is anymore, but, hey, it sounds kind of nice!” I kept thinking, “Make a joyful noise, regardless!”
That eight minutes was like eight hours. Being the eldest in the room often makes people think you’re the best. The truth, especially at that recital, was far different. But I would have awarded myself the gold for chutzpah — start playing a new instrument at 62, and then perform in front of a large audience.
Making music knows no age, and all players are welcome. Looking back, I realize my lengthy life experience has taught me that the show must go on — no matter what is occurring. Life’s music is playing! It’s my job to just show up and keep trying.
24.What can be inferred about the author at online recitals?
A.He suffered mild stress in playing. B.He felt too nervous to play publicly.
C.He paid no attention to the audience. D.He played better than other performers.
25.How did the author deal with his stage fright on the real stage?
A.By keeping a positive mindset. B.By interacting with the audience.
C.By adjusting the order of his pieces. D.By focusing on the playing techniques.
26.What does the underlined word “chutzpah” refer to in paragraph 6?
A.Honesty and tolerance. B.Experience and wisdom.
C.Competence and talent. D.Determination and courage.
27.What message does the author seem to convey in the text?
A.Hard work pays off. B.Age is no barrier to trying.
C.Practice makes perfect. D.Failure is the mother of success.

“Although I have been teaching Hao Hao how to say ‘mom’ every day, he is still unable to say the word. He is now 24 years old,” says Zhao Xinling. Having a child with autism(自闭症), the 64-year-old has worked hard to help her son.
She is the founder and principal of the Loving Home for Children Special Education and Rehabilitation(康复)Center in Guiyang, the first of its kind in Guizhou province. Over the years, she has provided support to more than 7,000 children with autism and witnessed the autistic community flourish — from being under-recognized to being increasingly understood and accepted — and she has seen how the community is gaining more support from broader society.
Born in 2000, Hao Hao lost his language abilities suddenly when he was 22 months old and was later diagnosed(诊断)with autism. To better understand the disease, Zhao visited rehabilitation institutions, hospitals and schools in cities like Beijing and Guangzhou. She saw many parents like her and realized that their families shared enormous pressure. Fortunately, she met Guan Fuqin, a doctor among the first in Guizhou to provide autism diagnosis services for children. Guan advised her to establish an institution where children with autism could learn locally and their parents could help one another. And Guan would act as a volunteer, offering medical support. In 2003, the center was established.
Three years later, Zhao began trying her hand at integrated education. “In the past, we wanted autistic children to improve themselves and fit into the lifestyles of normal people. However, through integrated education, normal children can learn to understand, accept and care for autistic children. These two-way efforts can make the lives of autistic children easier, and their families happier,” she notes. The institute has carried out such practices with over 20 kindergartens, primary schools and high schools in the city, and more than 2,000 autistic children have been enrolled in regular schools.
Although there are still many challenges ahead, Zhao is confident about the future, “We need to view autism positively, accept it, and enjoy the different life it offers.”
24.What does the underline word “flourish” mean in paragraph 2?
A.Unify. B.Progress. C.Change. D.Succeed.
25.What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A.Hao Hao’s sudden disease. B.Special support from a doctor.
C.The birth of the center. D.Great effort to treat Hao Hao.
26.What is Zhao Xinling’s suggestion for normal people?
A.Be an active volunteer.
B.Show respect to every life.
C.Treat autistic children differently.
D.Help autistic people adapt to their life.

Canadian author Alice Munro, a master of the contemporary short story, passed away on May 13, 2024, at 92.
Munro’s texts featured depictions of everyday but decisive events, pulling vast themes out of ordinary settings. Her characters often mirrored her own rural Ontario lifestyle. In an interview after winning the Nobel Prize, she said that living in a small town gave her the freedom to write. “I don’t think I could have been so brave if I had been living in a city, competing with people on what can be called a generally higher cultural level,” she said. “As far as I knew, at least for a while, I was the only person I knew who wrote stories.”
Munro’s first short story was published when she was 37, a college dropout squeezing in writing time around her children’s naps.

In reviewing her last collection, Dear Life, NPR critic Alan Cheuse wrote “A Munro story gives us so much life within the bounds of a single tale that it nourishes (滋养) us almost as much as a novel does.”
In a literary culture that tends to celebrate novels over shorter fiction, Munro has been a constant advocate for the power of the short story. In the interview, Munro emphasized the significance of her win not for herself, but for her art form: “I really hope this would make people see the short story as an important art, not just something you play around with until you get a novel written.”
When asked “Do you want young women to be inspired by your books and feel inspired to write?” Munro replied, “I don’t care about that. I want people to find not so much inspiration as great joy. I want them to think of my books as related to their own lives in ways.”
24.Why did Munro feel free to write while living in rural areas?
A.She was inspired by rural landscape and lifestyles.
B.She was free from stress of a more cultured setting.
C.She had more courage to compete with urban writers.
D.She had access to ordinary people and decisive events.
25.What did Alan Cheuse say about Munro’s stories in Dear Life?
A.They promote readers’ mental well-being.
B.They have broken the length limit of short stories.
C.They impress readers with quietly powerful language.
D.They offer richness and depth in shorter format.
26.How did Munro view the short story in literary culture?
A.It is more powerful than novels. B.It is a way of entertainment for young writers.
C.It is as important an art form as novels. D.It is an inspiration for young writers.

15-year-old Jacob Grosberg walked the streets of down town on Saturday to try and help people dealing with health problems, especially mental issues. The Toronto teenager carried bags full of donated clothes and hygiene (卫生) products for people living on the streets or in shelters.
Grosberg’s father once suffered a lot from depression and mental illness. After his death, Grosberg decided he wanted to help others dealing with the same problem.

My journey as a United Nations Volunteer started with a recommendation from a friend. At the time, I had practiced medicine in my home country, Cameroon, for over 20 years. A close friend advised me to join the United Nations Volunteers (UNV) program as a way to expand my experience in medicine, while traveling and volunteering in service of others.

When I was in middle school, my mom confirmed that I was, indeed, a baked good. “Children are like bread,” she explained one night at the kitchen table. “You choose the ingredients when they’re young and shape them as the dough rises. But once they’re in the oven, it’s out of your hands. ”
“You’re already in the oven,” she said, “It’s all you now.”
Growing up, I was always involved in Mom’s baking kitchen, especially on our monthly Baking Days. I would help with party treats. But my most important job was to pay attention and absorb her every word. The kitchen was part of my homeschooling.
“Always roast nuts before adding them to the batter (面糊) .”
“This is how I learned from my grandmother, Natalie.”
“Remember, you’re in charge, not the tools.”
Years later, after I moved out for college. Baking Days became rare. But her bread metaphor became a touchstone for me, a reminder of why some habits feel unchangeable. But I also wrestle with her theory, wondering if I can still change and evolve. Have I not fundamentally changed since I was a girl at her elbow, measuring flour? “Don’t worry,” she once said, “you can always add a little egg wash later.”
Now, at 35, I realized her bread metaphor was about her parenting philosophy. She poured her stories, pain, strength, and joy into me, her only child, folding each piece with care. She gave me the freedom to rise and take shape, trusting her work and letting go.
Tonight, we sit at her kitchen table, drinking tea and eating her homemade cookies. I tell her about my week, the projects I’m working on, the meals I’m creating, the friends I have gathered. She holds a cookie mid-bite, looking at me with pride and admiration. She sees the adult I’ve become, shaped with the ingredients she lovingly provided.

Xu Yuanchong was a famous Chinese translator, best known for translating Chinese ancient poems into English and French. Xu was born in 1921 in Nanchang, Jiangxi. His mother, who was well educated had great impact on Xu in the pursuit of beauty and literature. When studying at the Provincial Nanchang No. 2 High School, he excelled in English. In 1938 he was admitted to the Department of Foreign Languages, National Southwest Associated University, a school history and graduates have played a central role in modern China. 1939 was unusual for him. As an undergraduate, he met his mentor Qian Zhongshu, a renowned Chinese scholar and writer. That year also witnessed his one-sided love to the girl sitting next to him in class.

It soon became a story on everyone’s lips. Because of this, Xu was regarded as one of the “Five Geniuses” of the National Southwest Associated University. In 1949, Xu Yuanchong was studying in France. After his graduation, Xu returned to China and devoted himself to education and translation. In 1979, Xu first proposed the “Three Beauties Theory” in a letter to scholar Zhu Guangqian.

Ten years ago, Airbnb passed a milestone: the number of people who had used the service to book a night’s stay outnumbered 4 million. But it was still believed to be a small player. Over the past decade, staying in somebody else’s home, or second home, for a short-term break has become the first choice I (and my mates, and my mum, and her mates) made when planning to visit a city.
We much prefer it. Away from the eyes of annoying tourists, our boys are free to treat the house as a genuine home-from-home: that is, using every surface, from bookshelf to boiler cupboard, as a huge wonderland. As there is always a separate living space (actually separate, unlike the open-plan “suites” offered by most hotels), we can chat and watch TV once they’ve gone to bed. We use the kitchen to make them dinner and breakfast, which saves us money; then we get a takeaway from Deliveroo (another technological marvel) once the kids are in bed.
I’ll admit that this routine can still present challenges. Simply loading up the car with daily necessities, snacks and drinks, and appropriate “in-flight entertainment” is an activity that, itself, kills your desire for holiday. But it’s always worth it. How I look forward to the small success when I’ve located the parking space for our rented room, after ten minutes of aimlessly driving around a complex one-way system. How I love examining the owner’s art and books, piecing together my impression of their personality from the clues they’ve left behind in random handmade objects. “Look, he’s got a signed Bruce Springsteen poster and an entire library of Jeffrey Archer! Did he turn Shakespeare as he got older, or inherit (继承) the books from his dad?”
Best of all, I enjoy waking up on Sunday morning and being somewhere new — yet not being constantly aware, as one is in a hotel, of the financial deal during the experience. Wandering around cities, I’ve often found myself idly imagining what it would be like to live there, and with Airbnb one gets quite a bit closer to actually knowing the answer. That is why, I suspect, it’s no “small player” anymore.
24.What does the author prefer to do when travelling?
A.Use home-sharing platforms. B.Book a hotel in advance.
C.Choose long-term stays. D.Stay together with family.
25.What does the author like about the home-from-home experience, according to paragraph 3?
A.Loading up the car. B.Locating a parking space.
C.Reading the owner’s books. D.Picturing the owner’s personality.
26.Why does the author write the text?
A.To popularize a service. B.To share personal experiences.
C.To explore a social issue. D.To provide useful information.

专题02 阅读理解记叙文(广东专用)
话题一:人与自然
1.(23-24高二下·广东省惠州市·期末)
I used to want to be a zookeeper, but after becoming a wildlife rescue worker, I found that this work is even more valuable than I thought. Not only can I help injured wild animals, but I can also facilitate their return to the wild. We make every effort to accomplish this goal: hiding food under rocks and fallen leaves to simulate (模拟) a natural environment, or doing our best to maintain some distance from the animals and prevent them from bonding with humans.
I am often asked whether I feel at all sad when it’s time to release the animals — to tell you the truth, I’m always pretty willing to let them go. All of my efforts have been toward allowing them to return to the wild, and the wild is where they belong, so there’s no reason for reluctance on my part. But it is true that sometimes there is no way for an animal to go back to the wild, or to keep it from bonding with humans.
Last year, I rescued a light-vented bulbul (白头鹎). The bird, initially lacking feathers, recovered under our care. It was scheduled for release during its adolescent period, during which it’s relatively easy to socialize. But an injury to its flight feathers delayed its return to the wild. The bird imprinted on humans during the following two months, which was a critical cognitive (认知的) development period, leading it to return to us after being released.
When we engage in wildlife rescue, we have to teach animals how to maintain a high degree of caution around humans. If they become too trusting of humans, it is very likely that way, our success depends not on the animals, or on our work here, but more so on the attitude humans would not be a bad thing, and our release attempt could then be successful.
24.What do we know about the author’s job?
A.It was his initial career choice.
B.It forbids close interaction with animals.
C.It mainly aims to cure the injured animals.
D.It involves both rescue and release efforts.
25.Which of the following best describes the author’s feeling to release the rescued animals?
A.Ambitious. B.Cheerful. C.Sorrowful. D.Anxious.
26.Which is closest in meaning to “imprinted on” in paragraph 3?
A.Was attached to. B.Was aware of.
C.Was sensitive to. D.Was cautious of.
27.What is the key to the success of wildlife rescue work?
A.Animals’ faith in humans.
B.Human’s knowledge in the work.
C.Human’s attitude towards animals.
D.Animals’ ability to survive in the wild.

She came into my life when I was eight years old. My dad found her. She was getting lost and starving. He took one look at her, opened the door and she jumped in. Mom and Dad fed her and gave her a bath.
As a girl, I had always wanted a dog. My parents told me when I was old enough and responsible, I could have one. When I got home, I was greeted with many puppy kisses. A very special friendship was born that day.
Now she needed a name. My older brother laughed at her and said her tail was deformed. It didn’t wag its tail back and forth, instead, it went in a circle. He said, “She’s squirrely.”Thus my puppy, Squirrely got her name.
Squirrely was a smart dog. I taught her to play hide and seek. We would play for hours, spending our days learning and growing together.
Eleven years we were together, best of friends. Arthritis (关节炎) and old age set in on her. My parents knew what had to be done, but they stood back and let me make the decision myself.
She was suffering so much and the medicine didn’t help. She could barely walk. I looked into those deep brown eyes and realized it was time to let her go.
I carried her into the pet doctor’s office and placed her on the table. Squirrely leaned her head forward and gave a lick to my hand, as if to say she understood. Her tail was wagging in that circle as it always did.
When the pet doctor said “It’s over”, I wrapped her up in her favorite blanket, and carried her out.
I buried her in the farm, where she loved playing and chasing rabbits. I know that special friend will be with me always.
24.What does the underlined word “squirrely” in paragraph 3 mean?

【导读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章通过叙述作者与一只名叫Squirrely的小狗之间的故事,展现了作者与小狗之间深厚的友谊以及最终面对小狗老去、病痛和离别的情感历程。
24.词义猜测题。根据文章划线单词上文“My older brother laughed at her and said her tail was deformed. It didn’t wag its tail back and forth, instead, it went in a circle.(我哥哥嘲笑她,说她的尾巴变形了。它没有前后摇尾巴,而是绕着圈走。)”可知,这只狗的尾巴不是前后摇摆,而是转着圈摇,这是不寻常的,古怪的。因此,在这个上下文中,“squirrely”最恰当的意思是“奇怪的”。选项A“Strange (奇怪的)”;选项B“Cute (可爱的)”;选项C“Active (积极的)”;选项D“Energetic (精力充沛的)”。故选A。
25.推理判断题。根据文章第二段“When I got home, I was greeted with many puppy kisses. A very special friendship was born that day.(当我回到家时,迎接我的是小狗的许多亲吻。一段特殊的友谊就在那天诞生了。)”可知,作者和小狗之间立即建立起了亲密的关系和喜爱之情,也就是作者和小狗从一开始就彼此喜欢。故选D。

27.推理判断题。根据文章内容可知,这篇文章围绕着作者与她的狗Squirrely的关系展开,从他们相遇的那一刻到因为年老和疾病而不得不做出艰难决定的那一刻。文章详细描述了他们之间的特殊友谊,他们为彼此带来的快乐,以及最后告别的情感痛苦。由此可知,作者写这篇文章是为了讲述自己和狗之间的深厚友谊。故选C。
话题二:人与自我
1.(23-24高二下·广东省番禺区·期末)
I was attending a conference about contemporary art among many art scholars in the field. I greeted others and introduced myself as a psychology Ph. D.student who would present research on how the brain reacts to art. A distinguished scholar said, “Why are you here? You seem a little bit out of place.” Silence faded, and then whispers like that rose just because I was an interdisciplinary (跨学科的) attendee.
Years earlier, when I was a student in cognitive neuroscience (认知神经学), my professors advised me, “Choose one interest and pursue a single goal.” I knew they were giving me valuable advice. But the reality was that I was attracted by many subjects besides neuroscience. Art was always an important part of my life. I was also fascinated by new technology and how it allowed researchers to explore uncharted waters.
So, I disregarded my professors’ ad vice and looked for ways to develop all my passions. For a while, it seemed an impossible mission. Finally, I participated in a Ph. D.project that involved the study of art history and technologies that allowed people to have new aesthetic (美学的) experiences. However, the research journey didn’t go smoothly as expected. Each scientific conference I attended, regardless of its focus, left me feeling like a cheater, as academics tried to put me into a known professional category. I seemed to be setting myself up for being a jack-of-all-trades but a master of none.
I felt quite stressed about where I should belong and was at a loss about my future. One day, I attended an art exhibit at a local museum. It focused on one of the most famous advocates of interdisciplinarity in history: Leonardo da Vinci, an artist, scientist, and inventor. I hung on the words of the museum guide: “Had he not been interested in diverse subjects, his achievements wouldn’t have been so shining.”
These simple words renewed my determination. I spoke out my unique perspective to other scholars, emphasizing that I didn’t profess to be an expert in any field. And I was determined to combine knowledge and promote interdisciplinary connections.
24.How did scholars at the conference respond to the author’s introduction?
A.They went crazy about his report.
B.They were amazed at his young age.
C.They were unconcerned about his major.
D.They were doubtful about his expertise.
25.What did the professors advise the author to do?
A.Narrow his research focus.
B.Be innovative in the art field.
C.Pursue his passion for learning.
D.Turn to distinguished scholars.
26.Why is Leonardo da Vinci mentioned in paragraph 4?
A.To persuade readers to be his advocates.
B.To praise him for his great achievements.
C.To explain the reason for the author’s resolve.
D.To make a contrast between him and the author.
27.What can be the best title for the text?
A.My advantage of being a jack-of-all-trades.
B.My fascination with cognitive neuroscience.
C.My journey as an interdisciplinary researcher.
D.My struggles of balancing hobbies against work.
【答案】24.D 25.A 26.C 27.C
【解析】
【导读】本文是一篇记叙文。通过个人经历叙述了作者作为心理学博士生,尝试跨越学科界限,将艺术与认知神经科学相结合的研究经历,以及在这个过程中遇到的挑战与自我坚持的心路历程。
24.推理判断题。由文章第一段中的“I greeted others and introduced myself as a psychology Ph. D. student who would present research on how the brain reacts to art. A distinguished scholar said, “Why are you here? You seem a little bit out of place.” Silence faded, and then whispers like that rose just because I was an interdisciplinary (跨学科的) attendee. (我向别人打招呼,并介绍自己是一名心理学博士生,将展示大脑对艺术的反应。一位杰出的学者说:“你为什么在这里?你看起来有点格格不入。”沉默消失了,然后响起了这样的窃窃私语,只是因为我是一个跨学科的与会者。)”可知,会议上的学者们对作者的介绍持怀疑态度,认为他作为一个跨学科的参与者似乎有点不合时宜。故选D。
25.细节理解题。由文章第二段中的“Years earlier, when I was a student in cognitive neuroscience (认知神经学), my professors advised me, “Choose one interest and pursue a single goal.” (几年前,当我还是一名认知神经科学专业的学生时,我的教授建议我:“选择一个兴趣,追求一个目标。”)”可知,教授们建议作者缩小研究范围,专注于一个兴趣目标。故选A。
26.推理判断题。由文章第四段“I felt quite stressed about where I should belong and was at a loss about my future. One day, I attended an art exhibit at a local museum. It focused on one of the most famous advocates of interdisciplinarity in history: Leonardo da Vinci, an artist, scientist, and inventor. I hung on the words of the museum guide: “Had he not been interested in diverse subjects, his achievements wouldn’t have been so shining.” (我对自己的归属感到很紧张,对自己的未来也很迷茫。有一天,我参加了当地博物馆的艺术展。它关注的是历史上最著名的跨学科倡导者之一:莱昂纳多·达·芬奇,一位艺术家、科学家和发明家。我紧紧抓住博物馆导览员的话:“如果他不是对各种学科感兴趣,他的成就就不会如此耀眼。”)”可知,提及达芬奇是为了说明作者决心走跨学科道路的原因,达芬奇的事迹激励了作者坚持自己的跨学科研究之路。故选C。
27.主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是由文章第一段中的“I greeted others and introduced myself as a psychology Ph. D. student who would present research on how the brain reacts to art. A distinguished scholar said, “Why are you here? You seem a little bit out of place.” Silence faded, and then whispers like that rose just because I was an interdisciplinary (跨学科的) attendee. (我向别人打招呼,并介绍自己是一名心理学博士生,将展示大脑对艺术的反应。一位杰出的学者说:“你为什么在这里?你看起来有点格格不入。”沉默消失了,然后响起了这样的窃窃私语,只是因为我是一个跨学科的与会者。)”、最后一段“These simple words renewed my determination. I spoke out my unique perspective to other scholars, emphasizing that I didn’t profess to be an expert in any field. And I was determined to combine knowledge and promote interdisciplinary connections. (这些简单的话使我重新下定决心。我向其他学者说出了我的独特观点,强调我不自称是任何领域的专家。我决心将知识结合起来,促进跨学科的联系。)”可知,文章主要讲述了作者作为一位跨学科研究者的心路历程,从最初不被理解的困境到重新坚定信念,致力于促进不同领域知识的结合。因此,“My journey as an interdisciplinary researcher. (我作为跨学科研究者的旅程)”最适合作为本文标题。故选C。

“You'll be blind by the time you're twenty-five,” a doctor at Children's Hospital predicted. “Your blood sugars are much too high.” It consumed me. No mater where I was or what I was doing, it was overhead like a dark cloud, waiting for just the right opportunity to break open and destroy my world.
I liked painting. Losing myself in painting filled me with peace. Painting provided me with the only place where I could escape from those threatening words.
When I was 2l years old, my right eye went blind. Precisely three months after I was 25, I had a massive hemorrhage (大出血) in my left eye because of an accident. For the next twenty years, vision came and went. I went through many eye operations in an attempt to keep my vision. But after one final operation, I lost the battle and all remaining vision. And I buried all dreams of painting.
Desperate, I enrolled in (注册) a sixteen-week program for the blind and visually impaired (视力受损). I learned personal adjustment and the use of a computer with adaptive software. A whole new world opened up to me through this program as a turning point.
“Jaws and Window-Eyes are leading software for the blind.” my instructor told me. “You can use the Internet, e-mail and Microsoft with all its tools and features.” It's amazing! Hope went up for the first time in years. “By learning how to use hot keys to control the mouse, you can use Microsoft Access, Excel and PowerPoint,” my instructor added.
For the next several years, I learned that when one door closes, another door opens. There are plenty of choices available for the blind and visually impaired through the gift of technology. Not only do I have a speaking computer, but I have a speaking watch, alarm clock and calculator.
24.What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 1 refer to?
A.The right opportunity. B.Losing my sight in the future.
C.Consuming too much sugar. D.The children's hospital.
25.What happened when the author was 25 years old?

I’m a 66-year-old harp (竖琴) student. Others in my class are five, seven, ten... I fancy myself a source of inspiration for them, who would say, “If he can do it, I can, too!”
For some years before we stepped on the real stage, our recitals (演奏会) were given online. I could play perfectly — when no one was looking. But those online recitals caused me a kind of stage fright. Something about being watched and recorded, perhaps? Anyway, it was not too serious.
However, last year was a whole new ball game. That spring came with a real stage. An excited crowd. Clapping. Filming. A real recital! Exciting but stressful. I didn’t know if I could handle it.
The adorable little performers were delicately dressed in their party-best skirts, with leather shoes hanging beneath too-high chairs, unable to reach the ground. Luckily, I could. We sat among the guests before the show, struck by their excitement. One by one, up and down, my fellow students went — each playing superbly. Then, it was my turn. I thought I was ready.
But I struggled from the start. I kept my fingers moving. Sound still radiated from the strings, but the tune was all wrong. I restarted both pieces three times. When I got totally lost for a few notes in the middle, I thought, “I don’t know what this is anymore, but, hey, it sounds kind of nice!” I kept thinking, “Make a joyful noise, regardless!”
That eight minutes was like eight hours. Being the eldest in the room often makes people think you’re the best. The truth, especially at that recital, was far different. But I would have awarded myself the gold for chutzpah — start playing a new instrument at 62, and then perform in front of a large audience.
Making music knows no age, and all players are welcome. Looking back, I realize my lengthy life experience has taught me that the show must go on — no matter what is occurring. Life’s music is playing! It’s my job to just show up and keep trying.
24.What can be inferred about the author at online recitals?
A.He suffered mild stress in playing. B.He felt too nervous to play publicly.
C.He paid no attention to the audience. D.He played better than other performers.
25.How did the author deal with his stage fright on the real stage?
A.By keeping a positive mindset. B.By interacting with the audience.
C.By adjusting the order of his pieces. D.By focusing on the playing techniques.
26.What does the underlined word “chutzpah” refer to in paragraph 6?
A.Honesty and tolerance. B.Experience and wisdom.
C.Competence and talent. D.Determination and courage.
27.What message does the author seem to convey in the text?
A.Hard work pays off. B.Age is no barrier to trying.
C.Practice makes perfect. D.Failure is the mother of success.
【答案】24.A 25.A 26.D 27.B
【解析】

Experience and wisdom经验和智慧;C. Competence and talent能力和才能;D. Determination and courage决心和勇气。故选D。
27.推理判断题。通读全文,尤其是文章倒数第二段中的“But I would have awarded myself the gold for chutzpah — start playing a new instrument at 62, and then perform in front of a large audience. (但我会因为勇气而奖励自己一枚金牌——62岁开始演奏一种新乐器,然后在一大群观众面前表演。)”和最后一段“Making music knows no age, and all players are welcome.

“Although I have been teaching Hao Hao how to say ‘mom’ every day, he is still unable to say the word. He is now 24 years old,” says Zhao Xinling. Having a child with autism(自闭症), the 64-year-old has worked hard to help her son.
She is the founder and principal of the Loving Home for Children Special Education and Rehabilitation(康复)Center in Guiyang, the first of its kind in Guizhou province. Over the years, she has provided support to more than 7,000 children with autism and witnessed the autistic community flourish — from being under-recognized to being increasingly understood and accepted — and she has seen how the community is gaining more support from broader society.
Born in 2000, Hao Hao lost his language abilities suddenly when he was 22 months old and was later diagnosed(诊断)with autism. To better understand the disease, Zhao visited rehabilitation institutions, hospitals and schools in cities like Beijing and Guangzhou. She saw many parents like her and realized that their families shared enormous pressure. Fortunately, she met Guan Fuqin, a doctor among the first in Guizhou to provide autism diagnosis services for children. Guan advised her to establish an institution where children with autism could learn locally and their parents could help one another. And Guan would act as a volunteer, offering medical support. In 2003, the center was established.
Three years later, Zhao began trying her hand at integrated education. “In the past, we wanted autistic children to improve themselves and fit into the lifestyles of normal people. However, through integrated education, normal children can learn to understand, accept and care for autistic children. These two-way efforts can make the lives of autistic children easier, and their families happier,” she notes. The institute has carried out such practices with over 20 kindergartens, primary schools and high schools in the city, and more than 2,000 autistic children have been enrolled in regular schools.
Although there are still many challenges ahead, Zhao is confident about the future, “We need to view autism positively, accept it, and enjoy the different life it offers.”
24.What does the underline word “flourish” mean in paragraph 2?

Canadian author Alice Munro, a master of the contemporary short story, passed away on May 13, 2024, at 92.
Munro’s texts featured depictions of everyday but decisive events, pulling vast themes out of ordinary settings. Her characters often mirrored her own rural Ontario lifestyle. In an interview after winning the Nobel Prize, she said that living in a small town gave her the freedom to write. “I don’t think I could have been so brave if I had been living in a city, competing with people on what can be called a generally higher cultural level,” she said. “As far as I knew, at least for a while, I was the only person I knew who wrote stories.”
Munro’s first short story was published when she was 37, a college dropout squeezing in writing time around her children’s naps. By the time she was in her 60s, she had become one of the most celebrated short-story writers in the world. Throughout her long career, she hardly ever failed to wow readers and critics with her quietly powerful language. In reviewing her last collection, Dear Life, NPR critic Alan Cheuse wrote “A Munro story gives us so much life within the bounds of a single tale that it nourishes (滋养) us almost as much as a novel does.”
In a literary culture that tends to celebrate novels over shorter fiction, Munro has been a constant advocate for the power of the short story. In the interview, Munro emphasized the significance of her win not for herself, but for her art form: “I really hope this would make people see the short story as an important art, not just something you play around with until you get a novel written.”
When asked “Do you want young women to be inspired by your books and feel inspired to write?” Munro replied, “I don’t care about that. I want people to find not so much inspiration as great joy. I want them to think of my books as related to their own lives in ways.”
24.Why did Munro feel free to write while living in rural areas?
A.She was inspired by rural landscape and lifestyles.
B.She was free from stress of a more cultured setting.
C.She had more courage to compete with urban writers.
D.She had access to ordinary people and decisive events.
25.What did Alan Cheuse say about Munro’s stories in Dear Life?
A.They promote readers’ mental well-being.
B.They have broken the length limit of short stories.
C.They impress readers with quietly powerful language.
D.They offer richness and depth in shorter format.
26.How did Munro view the short story in literary culture?
A.It is more powerful than novels. B.It is a way of entertainment for young writers.
C.It is as important an art form as novels. D.It is an inspiration for young writers.
27.What did Munro want readers to get by reading her books?
A.Inspiration to become writers themselves.
B.Enjoyment and connection to their own lives.
C.Pleasure and motivation to change their lives.
D.Information about art forms and literary culture.

15-year-old Jacob Grosberg walked the streets of down town on Saturday to try and help people dealing with health problems, especially mental issues. The Toronto teenager carried bags full of donated clothes and hygiene (卫生) products for people living on the streets or in shelters.
Grosberg’s father once suffered a lot from depression and mental illness. After his death, Grosberg decided he wanted to help others dealing with the same problem. His solution was the Conan Fund, so-called after his father’s high school nickname for his strength and popularity. According to the fund’s website, the money raised is donated to charities, hospitals and organizations to make a chance and improve resources.
It didn’t take long for people living in the shelter on Wellington Street in Liberty Village to come out to receive what Grosberg was offering. From bags of socks, to hats, gloves, jeans and winter jackets, the people were excited and appreciative of the generosity. Martuia Archibald, 30, had a huge smile on her face as she put on a winter jacket and turned up the collar. She didn’t have a winter jacket until Grosberg arrived, and was touched by the gesture. “It means that there are people out there that still consider that I need warm clothing as well,” she said.
Grosberg’s mother said her son’s spirit and kindness motivated her. “He inspires me,” she said. “He shows me the way to move forward after his father is gone. He shows me the way to turn something terrible into something really positive.”

My journey as a United Nations Volunteer started with a recommendation from a friend. At the time, I had practiced medicine in my home country, Cameroon, for over 20 years. A close friend advised me to join the United Nations Volunteers (UNV) program as a way to expand my experience in medicine, while traveling and volunteering in service of others. My remembrance of my sister’s illness made me decide right away that this was right for me.
When I was younger, my sister developed a medical condition. She underwent two heart surgical operations and lots of suffering, but she survived and inspired me. She later asked me to consider a career in medicine to help other young girls. When this volunteering opportunity came up, I took it and became a volunteer in the UNV on 27 March 2008.
I was recruited for the first volunteer assignment in Haiti. As a mother of seven-year-old twins, it was not easy for me to travel and leave them behind. But I did it with the support of my husband; who understood my motives and took good care of our children while I was working overseas.
My volunteering journey took me involved in inpatient and outpatient services, medical evacuations and capacity building activities. These experiences were wide-ranging and led my career growth within the UNV. At first, my children didn’t want to study medicine. While in Cameroon, they saw me work long hours and weekends and come home tired. They found it challenging to accept the career that demanded a lot of their mother’s time. However, my children began to view medicine differently after I joined the UNV. They began to understand how important doctors are to crisis-affected communities and now see themselves in the lives we save. This is everything to me.
24.What drove the author to immediately engage in the program?
A.A friend’s suggestion. B.Memory of sister’s disease.
C.Traveling experiences. D.Medical practice in Cameroon.
25.Why did the author’s sister persuade her to work in medicine?
A.To help her treat her illness. B.To become a volunteer of the UNV.

When I was in middle school, my mom confirmed that I was, indeed, a baked good. “Children are like bread,” she explained one night at the kitchen table. “You choose the ingredients when they’re young and shape them as the dough rises. But once they’re in the oven, it’s out of your hands. ”
“You’re already in the oven,” she said, “It’s all you now.”
Growing up, I was always involved in Mom’s baking kitchen, especially on our monthly Baking Days. I would help with party treats. But my most important job was to pay attention and absorb her every word. The kitchen was part of my homeschooling.
“Always roast nuts before adding them to the batter (面糊) .”
“This is how I learned from my grandmother, Natalie.”
“Remember, you’re in charge, not the tools.”
Years later, after I moved out for college. Baking Days became rare. But her bread metaphor became a touchstone for me, a reminder of why some habits feel unchangeable. But I also wrestle with her theory, wondering if I can still change and evolve. Have I not fundamentally changed since I was a girl at her elbow, measuring flour? “Don’t worry,” she once said, “you can always add a little egg wash later.”
Now, at 35, I realized her bread metaphor was about her parenting philosophy. She poured her stories, pain, strength, and joy into me, her only child, folding each piece with care. She gave me the freedom to rise and take shape, trusting her work and letting go.
Tonight, we sit at her kitchen table, drinking tea and eating her homemade cookies. I tell her about my week, the projects I’m working on, the meals I’m creating, the friends I have gathered. She holds a cookie mid-bite, looking at me with pride and admiration. She sees the adult I’ve become, shaped with the ingredients she lovingly provided.
24.What does the mother mean by saying “You’re already in the oven.”?
A.You are as hot as a baking bread. B.You are mature enough to fly alone.
C.You are already a baking master. D.You are bound to change yourself.
25.Why were the monthly Baking Days meaningful?
A.They were a way for the author to learn new recipes.
B.They were a chance for the mother to teach life lessons.
C.They were an occasion for the family to try new desserts.
D.They were the only time the author got to listen to her mother.
26.Which statement shows the mother’s metaphor change over time?
A.“You can always add a little egg wash later.”
B.“Remember, you’re in charge, not the tools.”
C.“This is how I learned from my grandmother.”
D.“Always roast nuts before adding them to the batter.”
27.What is the best title for the passage?

【导读】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了作者通过与母亲一起烘焙的经历,学习到了母亲独特的育儿哲学,这种哲学不仅关乎烘焙,更关乎如何面对生活,如何成长为一个独立而完整的人。母亲通过烘焙的比喻,教会了作者关于成长、独立和自我完善的深刻道理。
24.推理判断题。根据第一段的““Children are like bread,” she explained one night at the kitchen table. “You choose the ingredients when they’re young and shape them as the dough rises. But once they’re in the oven, it’s out of your hands. ”(“孩子就像面包,”一天晚上,她在餐桌旁解释道。“你在原料年轻的时候就选择它们,并随着面团的发酵而成型。但一旦它们进入烤箱,你就无法控制了。”)”以及第二段的““You’re already in the oven,” she said, “It’s all you now.”(“你已经在烤箱里了,”她说,“现在全是你了。”)”可推知,在文章中,母亲用烘焙面包的比喻来形容孩子的成长过程。当她说“你已经在烤箱里了”,意味着孩子已经长大到一定程度,可以独立面对生活,不再需要父母像小时候那样直接的指导和塑造,这是成熟和独立的象征。故选B。
25.细节理解题。根据第三段的“I would help with party treats. But my most important job was to pay attention and absorb her every word. The kitchen was part of my homeschooling.(我会帮你办派对。但我最重要的工作是关注和吸收她的每一句话。厨房是我在家上学的一部分)”以及最后一段的“She sees the adult I’ve become, shaped with the ingredients she lovingly provided.(她看到我变成了成年人,用她精心提供的原料塑造了我)”可知,每月的烘焙日不仅仅是学习烘焙技巧的日子,更是母亲传授生活智慧和价值观的机会。在这些日子,作者不仅学会了烘焙,更重要的是从母亲那里学到了如何做人、如何面对生活的态度和方法。故选B。
26.推理判断题。根据倒数第三段的“But I also wrestle with her theory, wondering if I can still change and evolve. Have I not fundamentally changed since I was a girl at her elbow, measuring flour? “Don’t worry,” she once said, “you can always add a little egg wash later.”(但我也在与她的理论作斗争,想知道我是否还能改变和发展。当我还是一个女孩的时候,我就在她身边量面粉,难道我没有从根本上改变吗?“别担心,”她曾说,“你可以稍后再加一点蛋清。”)”可推知,母亲最初的比喻是关于烘焙面包的,但随着时间的推移,这个比喻被赋予了更深层的含义。当她说到“你总可以在之后添加一点蛋液”,这暗示着即使孩子已经“进入烤箱”,即开始独立生活,但仍然有机会做出调整,改善自我,体现了母亲对成长和变化持开放态度的育儿哲学。故选A。
27.主旨大意题。整篇文章围绕母亲通过烘焙传授给女儿的生活哲学展开,从烘焙的比喻到人生的指导,母亲的烘焙哲学成为了连接母女情感、传递智慧的桥梁,因此“母亲的烘焙哲学”是最贴切的标题。故选D。

In 1979, Xu first proposed the “Three Beauties Theory” in a letter to scholar Zhu Guangqian.

话题三:人与社会
1.(23-24高二下·广东省广州市天河区·期末)
Ten years ago, Airbnb passed a milestone: the number of people who had used the service to book a night’s stay outnumbered 4 million. But it was still believed to be a small player. Over the past decade, staying in somebody else’s home, or second home, for a short-term break has become the first choice I (and my mates, and my mum, and her mates) made when planning to visit a city.
We much prefer it. Away from the eyes of annoying tourists, our boys are free to treat the house as a genuine home-from-home: that is, using every surface, from bookshelf to boiler cupboard, as a huge wonderland. As there is always a separate living space (actually separate, unlike the open-plan “suites” offered by most hotels), we can chat and watch TV once they’ve gone to bed. We use the kitchen to make them dinner and breakfast, which saves us money; then we get a takeaway from Deliveroo (another technological marvel) once the kids are in bed.
I’ll admit that this routine can still present challenges. Simply loading up the car with daily necessities, snacks and drinks, and appropriate “in-flight entertainment” is an activity that, itself, kills your desire for holiday. But it’s always worth it. How I look forward to the small success when I’ve located the parking space for our rented room, after ten minutes of aimlessly driving around a complex one-way system. How I love examining the owner’s art and books, piecing together my impression of their personality from the clues they’ve left behind in random handmade objects. “Look, he’s got a signed Bruce Springsteen poster and an entire library of Jeffrey Archer! Did he turn Shakespeare as he got older, or inherit (继承) the books from his dad?”
Best of all, I enjoy waking up on Sunday morning and being somewhere new — yet not being constantly aware, as one is in a hotel, of the financial deal during the experience. Wandering around cities, I’ve often found myself idly imagining what it would be like to live there, and with Airbnb one gets quite a bit closer to actually knowing the answer. That is why, I suspect, it’s no “small player” anymore.

24.推理判断题。根据首段中的“Over the past decade, staying in somebody else’s home, or second home, for a short-term break has become the first choice I (and my mates, and my mum, and her mates) made when planning to visit a city.(在过去的十年里,短期住在别人家或第二家已经成为我(和我的朋友们、我妈妈和她的朋友们)计划游览一个城市时的首选)”可知,作者计划旅游时首选住在别人家或者第二个家中,结合“Ten years ago, Airbnb passed a milestone: the number of people who had used the service to book a night’s stay outnumbered 4 million.(十年前,Airbnb跨过了一个里程碑:使用该服务预订一晚住宿的人数超过了400万)”可知,Airbnb是一个预定住宿的网络平台。由此推知,作者应该是喜欢利用房屋共享平台为旅行作计划。故选A项。
25.细节理解题。根据第二段中的“How I love examining the owner’s art and books, piecing together my impression of their personality from the clues they’ve left behind in random handmade objects.(我是多么喜欢研究主人的艺术品和书籍,从他们随意留下的手工物品中寻找线索,拼凑出我对他们个性的印象)”可知,作者喜欢研究主人的艺术品和书籍,从他们留下的物品中寻找线索,拼凑他们的性格特征。由此可知,作者喜欢构想主人的性格。故选D项。
26.推理判断题。根据首段中的“Ten years ago, Airbnb passed a milestone: the number of people who had used the service to book a night’s stay outnumbered 4 million.(十年前,Airbnb跨过了一个里程碑:使用该服务预订一晚住宿的人数超过了400万)”可知,在十年前使用Airbnb服务的人数超过了400万,结合尾段中的“That is why, I suspect, it’s no “small player” anymore.(这就是为什么,我怀疑,它不再是“小玩家”)”可知,作者不怀疑Airbnb服务平台是一个“小玩家”。由此推知,作者写这篇文章的目的是推广宣传Airbnb这一服务平台。故选A项。
