One? Two? I put up one finger, and he directed me to the Level 1 class. It was disorienting: Class time was strictly “voices off” to encourage immersive learning and to show respect to the deaf teachers. Without the power of speech, all my classmates and I could do was smile and nod at one another as we took in the new vocabulary. Learning ASL in the early weeks was a culture shock and a bruise to my ego. As a writer, I pride myself on a certain facility with language. I was taught that there’s a perfect combination of words that can most precisely communicate any thought. With ASL, I expected to feel similarly, and thought fluency would come once I collected a critical mass of signs. The first thing you learn in ASL class is the alphabet. As my classmates and I asked and answered questions using words we didn’t have the signs for, those early weeks were filled with laborious spelling. It was embarrassing: Seeing a dozen politely smiling faces watching me as I slowly spelled, misspelled and restarted spelling words— often multiple times— was its own kind of torture. Over time, I picked up on new conventions, like waving a hand or stomping on the ground to get someone’s attention. My fingers stalled as they reached for new shapes, and I struggled to differentiate very similar looking signs. Eventually I realized that when you’re communicating in sign language, diction (措词) is not as important as the way you embody what you’re communicating. I once asked a teacher how to sign the word “desperate”. “ASL doesn’t have a direct translation of every English word,” he told me. “If you want to sign ‘desperate’, you might just sign the word ‘want’, but with the appropriate facial and body posturing to show your desperation. It doesn’t make sense to sign ‘frustrated’ if your face doesn’t look at all frustrated,” he added — it’s like speaking in a deadpan monotone while claiming you’re angry. I’ve been attending ASL classes for almost two years. Initially, my reason was trivial: a childhood fascination with “secret languages”. While ASL may not wholly share a vocabulary with English, that doesn’t mean it lacks precision. Its precision, I’ve learned, lies in the common language of the body. 1．How did the author feel in the first ASL class? A．Frustrated. B．Confused. C．Anxious. D．Hesitant. 2．What made the author embarrassed when learning the alphabet? A．Putting on smiling facial expressions. B．Being made fun of in front of the class. C．Waving a hand to get someone’s attention. D．Misspelling and respelling words repeatedly. 3．According to the passage, what can we learn about ASL? A．It’s a universal language system across cultures. B．It conveys more emotions than verbal language. C．It requires a combination of signs and emotions. D．It has a direct translation of signs for every word. 4．What has the author learned from her learning experience? A．The body is what gives language life. B．Diction is what gives language flavour. C．Fluency comes from the mastery of signs. D．ASL prioritizes precision over communication. （2025·北京通州·一模） A teacher in New York decided to honor each of her seniors in high school by telling them the difference they each made to her and the class. She presented each of them with a blue ribbon imprinted with gold letters which read, “Who I Am Makes a Difference”. Afterwards the teacher gave each of the students three more ribbons and instructed them to spread this recognition to ceremony. One of the boys in the class honored a junior executive in a nearby company for helping him with his career planning and later that day the junior executive went to see his boss, who had been noted as being kind of a bad tempered fellow. He told his boss that he deeply admired him for being a creative genius. Then the junior executive placed the blue ribbon on his boss’s jacket. That night the boss came home to his 14-year-old son and sat him down. He said, “The most incredible thing happened to me today. I was in my office and one of the junior executives came in and told me he admired me and gave me a blue ribbon for being a creative genius. Imagine. He thinks I’m a creative genius. Then he put the blue ribbon that says ‘Who I Am Makes A Difference’ on my jacket above my heart. He gave me an extra ribbon and asked me to find somebody else to honor. As I was driving home tonight, I started thinking about whom I would honor with this ribbon and I thought about you, I want to honor you.” “My days are really stressful and when I come home, I don’t pay a lot of attention to you. Sometimes I scream at you for not getting good enough grades in school and for your bedroom being a mess, but somehow tonight, I just wanted to let you know that you do make a difference to me. Besides your mother, you are the most important person in my life. You’re a great kid and I love you!” The astonished boy started to sob and sob, and he couldn’t stop crying. His whole body shook. After a long silence, he looked up at his father and said through his tears, “Thank you, Dad. This blue ribbon means more to me than anything. I love you too.” 1．The teacher gave each student three more ribbons in order to ______.

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.

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.” 1．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 2．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 3．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. 4．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. （24-25高三下·北京朝阳·阶段练习）The image of that staircase never left my mind. It had been forty years since I graduated high school, but the staircase haunted my memories. Boys would sit on both sides of the staircase, rating the girls as we walked by. If they thought a girl was really ugly, they barked. Every time I walked up or down those stairs, the barks, woofs, and laughter rang in my ears. “Just ignore them,” my mother advised. And I did. On the surface. But inside the painful message that I was ugly rooted deep into my soul. Eventually, I graduated, got accepted to college on the West Coast, and left small-town Colorado behind me. I earned a degree in Communications, launched a rewarding career as a writer and teacher, got married, and raised two amazing boys. But when I looked in the mirror, the doubts returned. Then I got an invitation to my fortieth high school reunion. I didn’t like high school, but I wanted to go back and tell those boys off. I wanted to tell them how hurtful and unkind they were. And I wanted to show them they were wrong. I had a husband, a family and all the things they’d made me feel I wasn’t worthy of. I practiced my speech in my mind as I ran errands (差事), cooked dinner, and exercised at senior aerobics. In September, I drove down to the town where I’d spent my high school years. I put on my favorite blouse, touched up my make-up, and steeled myself for the Friday night opening reception. Maybe it’s true that memory is the first thing to go. On the night, people greeted me politely, drinks in hand, flattering me with “You haven’t changed at all.” I’d look at the face and study the nametag with the graduation photo, but it didn’t ring a bell most of the time. Had I completely erased that whole period of my life from my memory? Was I at the wrong reunion? No, some women remembered my mother being their Girl Scout leader. Others had kind things to say about my father, a local college professor. My planned speech wilted (枯萎) on my lips. Instead, I chatted breezily about my two grown sons, living in Seattle, and writing résumés for Boeing workers. People were nice enough, but aside from a couple of friends, I felt like I was talking to strangers. It was pointless to hold a grudge (怨恨) against people I couldn’t even recognize. I was only hurting myself by replaying those memories in my mind. I knew I needed to forgive. A dark sorrow lifted from my soul. I felt happier, more self-confident and attractive. Back home, our senior fitness instructor noticed that I was wearing a new T-shirt. “You are really rockin’ that shirt,” she said. I smiled. She’d said that before, but this time I believed it. 1．Why did the author decide to attend the 40th high school reunion? A．To meet her old teachers. B．To prove her career success.

B．The reunion attendees were mostly strangers. C．The author’s career success healed her trauma. D．The instructor’s compliment was first genuinely embraced. 3．What can be inferred about the author’s feelings after the high school reunion? A．Confused and sad. B．Angry and proud.

A．The Power of Letting Go B．A Surprising Reunion Letter C．Finding Friends in Strangers D．The Painful High School Years （2025·北京房山·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.” 1．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. 2．How did Mason’s family and friends help with the Grain Gyre? A．They provided resources and support.

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. 1．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. 2．What makes Laurent Ballesta give his best? A．Fierce competitions. B．New diving technique. C．Sea animal knowledge. D．Challenging situations. 3．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 4．What kind of person is Laurent Ballesta? A．Careful and passionate. B．Brave and creative. C．Modest and hardworking. D．Tough and competitive. （2025·北京丰台·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. 1．As a nature advocate, Robyn Elman ________.

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.” 1．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.

This condition, characterized by symptoms like severe itching, swelling, and difficulty breathing upon exposure to peanuts, could have been fatal if not detected and managed early. Fortunately, her allergy was identified at a young age. With the help of doctors and strict dietary measures, she was able to control her symptoms and lead a normal life. However, this experience had a profound impact on her, and she became passionate about helping others with the same suffering of chronic diseases like her. Sabrina realized that early detection was crucial for many such conditions. She decided to focus her studies on this area and eventually got admitted to the medical school of the Yale, where she specialized in the early detection of chronic diseases. During her studies, she encountered various chronic diseases with specific symptoms. One such disease was diabetes, characterized by high blood sugar levels, fatigue, frequent urination, and increased thirst. Another was chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), which caused persistent coughing, shortness of breath, and chest tightness. Nothing can get in the way of a strong-willed heart. Sabrina also studied heart diseases like coronary artery disease (冠心病), which often presented with chest pain, shortness of breath, and fatigue. She learned that early detection of these diseases through regular screenings and lifestyle modifications could significantly improve patients’ quality of life and reduce the risk of severe complications. At Yale, Sabrina conducted research on developing more effective screening methods for these chronic diseases. Her work focused on identifying biomarkers and genetic factors that could predict the happening of these conditions, allowing for earlier intervention and better management. This little girl’s dedication and research have contributed significantly to the field of chronic diseases management.

When the term began, however, his father told him that there was no money to pay for his school fees because of the summer drought. Still, William wanted to learn. He made the village library his school. One day, he found a book called Using Energy. On the book’s cover was a picture of windmills, tall steel towers with blades (叶片) spinning like giant fans. He learned that wind — something of which his hometown had plenty — could produce electricity. He couldn’t help picturing his own windmill in mind, but collecting the parts and tools he needed would take months. In a junkyard, he dug through piles of used metal, old cars, and worn-out tractors, searching for anything that might help him construct his machine. He made four-foot-long blades from plastic pipe, which he melted over a fire, flattened out, and hardened with bamboo poles. Earning some money, he paid a blacksmith to attach the piston (活塞) to the pedal sprocket (踏板链轮) of an old bicycle frame. This would be the axle (轮轴) of the windmill. When the wind blew, the spinning blades would turn the bicycle wheel and spin a small dynamo (发电机), donated by his friend. When he had collected all the parts, William began putting them together. He fixed the blades to the tractor fan he found, using washers (垫圈) he’d made from bottle caps. Next he pushed the fan onto the piston joint to the bicycle frame. With the help of his two best friends, William built a 16-foot-tall tower from trunks of trees and lifted the ninety-pound windmill to the top. The big moments eventually came. He climbed up the tower and connected two wires that held a small bulb. As the wind whipped around him, the blades began to turn, slowly at first, then faster and faster. The light bulb flickered (闪烁), then flashed to life. The crowd cheered from below. “Wachitabwina (well done)!” William’s machine now powered his house. And the story of the boy who’d built a power-generating windmill to rescue his family from the drought spread across the Internet. 1．After reading Using Energy, what did William decide to do? A．Learn to survive a drought. B．Make use of wind. C．Build a village library. D．Enter a high school. 2．According to Para.3, which of the following word can best describe William? A．Determined. B．Cooperative. C．Humorous. D．Optimistic. 3．What can you learn about William’s machine? A．It was built by villagers. B．It was made from metal materials. C．It took him years to complete it. D．It worked at the first attempt. 4．What is the best title for the passage? A．Windmills for Villages B．Ideas Worth Spreading C．Winds Of Hope D．Learning from Experience （24-25高三下·北京·阶段练习）Fish Cheeks By Amy Tan 1987 I fell in love with the minister’s son the winter I turned fourteen. He was not Chinese, but as white as Mary in the manger. For Christmas, I prayed for this blond-haired boy, Robert, and a slim new American nose. When I found out that my parents had invited the minister’s family over for Christmas Eve dinner, I cried. What would Robert think of our shabby Chinese Christmas? What would he think of our noisy Chinese relatives who lacked proper American manners? What terrible disappointment would he feel upon seeing not a roasted turkey and sweet potatoes but Chinese food? On Christmas Eve I saw that my mother had outdone herself in creating a strange menu. The kitchen was littered with appalling mounds of raw food: A slimy (黏糊糊的) rock cod (浔鳕鱼) with bulging eyes, tofu that looked like stacked white sponges, a bowl soaking dried fungus back to life, and squid with crisscrossed knife markings. And then they arrived — the minister’s family and all my relatives in a clamor of doorbells and rumpled Christmas packages. Robert grunted hello, and I pretended he was not worthy of existence. Dinner threw me deeper into despair. My relatives licked the ends of their chopsticks and reached across the table, dipping them into the dozen or so plates of food. Robert and his family waited patiently for platters to be passed to them. My relatives murmured with pleasure when my mother brought out the whole steamed fish. Robert grimaced (脸部扭曲). Then my father poked his chopsticks just below the fish eye and plucked out the soft meat. “Amy, your favorite,” he said, offering me the tender fish cheek. I wanted to disappear. At the end of the meal, my father leaned back and belched (打嗝) loudly, thanking my mother for her fine cooking. “It’s a polite Chinese custom to show you are satisfied,” explained my father to our astonished guests. Robert was looking down at his plate with a reddened face. The minister managed to muster up a quiet burp. I was stunned into silence for the rest of the night. After everyone had gone, my mother said to me, “You want to be the same as American girls on the outside.” She handed me an early gift. It was a miniskirt in beige tweed. “But inside you must always be Chinese. You must be proud you are different. Your only shame is to have shame.” And even though I didn’t agree with her then, I knew that she understood how much I had suffered during the evening’s dinner. It wasn’t until many years later — long after I had gotten over my crush on Robert — that I was able to fully appreciate her lesson and the true purpose behind our particular menu. For Christmas Eve that year, she had chosen all my favorite foods. 1．The author’s descriptions of the food suggest that she _______. A．thought it not festive B．valued her mother’s effort C．viewed it as unappealing D．felt unfamiliar with the menu 2．What made Amy the most embarrassed during the dinner? A．Robert grimaced at the food. B．Her father offered her fish cheek. C．The minister attempted a polite burp. D．Her relatives reached across the table. 3．What was Amy’s mother’s purpose in choosing the menu? A．To bridge the cultural gap. B．To teach family traditions. C．To express a mother’s love. D．To test cultural differences. 4．What has the author learnt in the story? A．Pride lies in accepting who we are. B．Time shapes our understanding. C．Family love conquers all barriers. D．Cultural roots define identity. （24-25高三下·北京·开学考试）She spent over two decades working her way up in the science industry, either as a chemist in a lab or in a management role. Now Berkeley Middle School teacher Mrs. Amy Adams is employing her science skills in a different environment. She decided to mix things up a bit and came up with a winning formula to help make a difference in the classroom. Mrs. Amy Adams is our Cool School teacher of the week. She took a couple of years off after having children. While volunteering at her kids’ school, she was fascinated by education. Adams says, “This is where I am supposed to be. I loved my job and the people I worked with, but I just kept feeling unsettled, so finally, I channeled my energy into something meaningful.” Adams says she stepped out on faith, and the rest is history, well actually it’s science. She’s now in year six of teaching seventh-grade science at BMS. “This is my alma mater. I walked the halls of Berkeley Middle. So it is with all four of my children. My youngest is walking the halls now. It just feels like home,” Adams said. Adams describes her teaching style as interactive. She says, “I want them to have a voice and learn critical thinking, so we feature colorful activities. Whether it’s note-taking, worksheets, doing DNA extractions on a strawberry or dissecting frogs, the process is always interactive. By doing so, I intend to cultivate a culture of learning and arouse their interest in science.” LaTanya Butler, principal at BMS says, “She was in the science industry, so she can relate the concepts she teaches to real life, which is one of the great attributes to have in a teacher.” Butler says Mrs. Adams also pushed to add an additional day to her work week. “I’ve had to open the building at her request so she can work on Saturdays. That’s just the attitude she adopts, to go over and beyond for our students here. I just appreciate Mrs. Adams for hearing the call to switch to education. If I could clone Mrs. Adams fifty more times, not only Berkeley Middle but schools in general would benefit from that spirit of dedication.” When asked if she misses working in the industry, Mrs. Adams says, “I’ll tell you I work harder now than I ever did, that I’m more tired now than I ever was, but I absolutely love what I do, and I feel like what I’m doing makes a difference. I can’t imagine not being here.” 1．What was the main cause for Adams’ changing her job? A．Her love of education. B．Her lack of inspiration. C．Her spirit of volunteering. D．Her desire of being perfect. 2．What can we learn from LaTanya Butler’s words? A．Adams can associate theory with practice. B．Adams’ dedication will inspire more teachers. C．Adams works overtime to teach students more. D．Adams owes her success to her work experience. 3．Which of the following can best describe Adams? A．Creative and competent. B．Patient and imaginative. C．Devoted and passionate. D．Warm-hearted and modest. 4．What is the passage trying to tell us? A．Keep looking, don’t settle. B．Action speaks louder than words． C．To know oneself is true progress. D．Live your passion, follow your dreams. （24-25高三上·湖南·阶段练习）Xi Zhinong was born in a small town in Yunnan Province. When he was young, he moved to Kunming with his mother.

But growing up, he could barely read. Raised in a rural part of Western Jamaica, Ghunta and his brothers had limited resources to learn and play. “Life was very difficult for us,” he recalled. When Ghunta finally went to school, he couldn’t catch up on his reading skills. Since not only had he been kept home from school as a child, he had not been exposed to books. By the time he entered Grade Six, he could only spell his own name, but couldn’t make out words or read with understanding. The situation was made worse by a series of impatient teachers who made him feel worthless and upset. He struggled in school with a deep sense of loss. When Ghunta was about 12, a young teacher-in-training, whose name he does not recall, started a reading program for struggling students. Ghunta was the first to sign up. “The teacher was incredibly kind to me,” he said. “She was patient and creative, but did not ask anything of me except that I work hard and believe in myself.” Under her guidance, Ghunta’s reading skills started to improve and his sense of insufficiency began to lift. He graduated from elementary school with a number of academic awards. He went on to college, and later, graduate school. Today, he is the author of two children’s books, including Rohan Bullkin and the Shadows: A Story about ACEs and Hope, about overcoming difficult experiences in childhood. He’s now working on his first full-length collection of poetry. In 2010, Ghunta went back to his elementary school, inquiring the principal and teachers if the young teacher was still there, but failed. He hoped to meet her and thank her for seeing his potential. “I would love her to see the significant impact she has made on my life, and the ways in which I have carried this memory of her — the hope, the light, with me — and how it continues to be a source of joy.” 1．How did Ghunta feel in Grade Six? A．Astonished. B．Delighted. C．Relaxed. D．Depressed. 2．The young teacher influenced Ghunta mainly by _______.

One? Two? I put up one finger, and he directed me to the Level 1 class. It was disorienting: Class time was strictly “voices off” to encourage immersive learning and to show respect to the deaf teachers. Without the power of speech, all my classmates and I could do was smile and nod at one another as we took in the new vocabulary. Learning ASL in the early weeks was a culture shock and a bruise to my ego. As a writer, I pride myself on a certain facility with language. I was taught that there’s a perfect combination of words that can most precisely communicate any thought. With ASL, I expected to feel similarly, and thought fluency would come once I collected a critical mass of signs. The first thing you learn in ASL class is the alphabet. As my classmates and I asked and answered questions using words we didn’t have the signs for, those early weeks were filled with laborious spelling. It was embarrassing: Seeing a dozen politely smiling faces watching me as I slowly spelled, misspelled and restarted spelling words— often multiple times— was its own kind of torture. Over time, I picked up on new conventions, like waving a hand or stomping on the ground to get someone’s attention. My fingers stalled as they reached for new shapes, and I struggled to differentiate very similar looking signs. Eventually I realized that when you’re communicating in sign language, diction (措词) is not as important as the way you embody what you’re communicating. I once asked a teacher how to sign the word “desperate”. “ASL doesn’t have a direct translation of every English word,” he told me. “If you want to sign ‘desperate’, you might just sign the word ‘want’, but with the appropriate facial and body posturing to show your desperation. It doesn’t make sense to sign ‘frustrated’ if your face doesn’t look at all frustrated,” he added — it’s like speaking in a deadpan monotone while claiming you’re angry. I’ve been attending ASL classes for almost two years. Initially, my reason was trivial: a childhood fascination with “secret languages”. While ASL may not wholly share a vocabulary with English, that doesn’t mean it lacks precision. Its precision, I’ve learned, lies in the common language of the body. 1．How did the author feel in the first ASL class? A．Frustrated. B．Confused. C．Anxious. D．Hesitant. 2．What made the author embarrassed when learning the alphabet? A．Putting on smiling facial expressions. B．Being made fun of in front of the class. C．Waving a hand to get someone’s attention. D．Misspelling and respelling words repeatedly. 3．According to the passage, what can we learn about ASL? A．It’s a universal language system across cultures. B．It conveys more emotions than verbal language. C．It requires a combination of signs and emotions. D．It has a direct translation of signs for every word. 4．What has the author learned from her learning experience? A．The body is what gives language life. B．Diction is what gives language flavour. C．Fluency comes from the mastery of signs. D．ASL prioritizes precision over communication. 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．C 4．A 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者在纽约曼哈顿的手语中心学习美国手语的经历，以及在这个过程中对语言和沟通方式的新认识。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段中的“It was disorienting: Class time was strictly ‘voices off’ to encourage immersive learning and to show respect to the deaf teachers. Without the power of speech, all my classmates and I could do was smile and nod at one another as we took in the new vocabulary.(这让人感到困惑：课堂时间严格要求“禁止说话”，以鼓励沉浸式学习并尊重聋人教师。没有说话的能力，我的同学们和我所能做的只是微笑和点头，同时吸收新词汇)”可知，作者在第一堂课上感到困惑。故选B项。 2．细节理解题。根据第二段中的“It was embarrassing: Seeing a dozen politely smiling faces watching me as I slowly spelled, misspelled and restarted spelling words— often multiple times— was its own kind of torture.(这很尴尬：看到十几张礼貌地微笑的脸看着我，我慢慢地拼写、拼错并重新拼写单词——通常多次——这本身就是一种折磨)”可知，作者在学习字母表时，因为反复拼错和重新拼写单词而感到尴尬。故选D项。 3．细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Eventually I realized that when you’re communicating in sign language, diction (措词) is not as important as the way you embody what you’re communicating. I once asked a teacher how to sign the word ‘desperate’. ‘ASL doesn’t have a direct translation of every English word,’ he told me. ‘If you want to sign ‘desperate’, you might just sign the word ‘want’, but with the appropriate facial and body posturing to show your desperation. It doesn’t make sense to sign ‘frustrated’ if your face doesn’t look at all frustrated,’ he added— it’s like speaking in a deadpan monotone while claiming you’re angry.(最终我意识到，当你用手语交流时，措词不如你如何体现你所传达的内容重要。我曾问一位老师如何用手语表达‘绝望’。‘ASL并没有每个英语单词的直接翻译，’他告诉我。‘如果你想用手语表达‘绝望’，你可能只需要用手语表达‘想要’，但要通过适当的面部和身体姿势来表达你的绝望。如果你的脸上一点也没有表现出沮丧，那么用手语表达‘沮丧’是没有意义的，’他补充说——这就像用单调的语调说话，却声称你很生气)”可知，ASL需要结合手势和情感来传达信息。故选C项。 4．细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“While ASL may not wholly share a vocabulary with English, that doesn’t mean it lacks precision. Its precision, I’ve learned, lies in the common language of the body.(尽管ASL可能并不完全与英语共享词汇，但这并不意味着它缺乏精确性。我学到的是，它的精确性在于肢体语言)”可知，作者从学习经历中学到的是，肢体语言在手语中很重要，即身体是赋予语言生命的。故选A项。 （2025·北京通州·一模） A teacher in New York decided to honor each of her seniors in high school by telling them the difference they each made to her and the class. She presented each of them with a blue ribbon imprinted with gold letters which read, “Who I Am Makes a Difference”. Afterwards the teacher gave each of the students three more ribbons and instructed them to spread this recognition to ceremony. One of the boys in the class honored a junior executive in a nearby company for helping him with his career planning and later that day the junior executive went to see his boss, who had been noted as being kind of a bad tempered fellow. He told his boss that he deeply admired him for being a creative genius. Then the junior executive placed the blue ribbon on his boss’s jacket. That night the boss came home to his 14-year-old son and sat him down. He said, “The most incredible thing happened to me today. I was in my office and one of the junior executives came in and told me he admired me and gave me a blue ribbon for being a creative genius. Imagine. He thinks I’m a creative genius. Then he put the blue ribbon that says ‘Who I Am Makes A Difference’ on my jacket above my heart. He gave me an extra ribbon and asked me to find somebody else to honor. As I was driving home tonight, I started thinking about whom I would honor with this ribbon and I thought about you, I want to honor you.” “My days are really stressful and when I come home, I don’t pay a lot of attention to you. Sometimes I scream at you for not getting good enough grades in school and for your bedroom being a mess, but somehow tonight, I just wanted to let you know that you do make a difference to me. Besides your mother, you are the most important person in my life. You’re a great kid and I love you!” The astonished boy started to sob and sob, and he couldn’t stop crying. His whole body shook. After a long silence, he looked up at his father and said through his tears, “Thank you, Dad. This blue ribbon means more to me than anything. I love you too.” 1．The teacher gave each student three more ribbons in order to ______. A．honor their good behavior in class B．pass on the act of acknowledgment C．show her appreciation for their help D．prepare for the graduation ceremony 2．What can we infer about the boss before receiving the blue ribbon? A．He was attentive but strict to his son. B．He had great skills in career planning. C．He was well-known as a creative genius. D．He prioritized work over family responsibilities. 3．On hearing his father’s words, the boy felt ______. A．relieved of long-held insecurities B．confused by the sudden attention C．indifferent to his father’s apology D．upset about being ignored before 4．The story mainly tells us that ______. A．teachers have great influences on students B．it is important to express gratitude to others C．everyone needs to be recognized and appreciated D．parents should pay more attention to their children 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．A 4．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述的是一个关于“蓝丝带”的感恩故事，通过师生、父子以及同事之间的情感互动，强调每个人都渴望被认可和欣赏。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Afterwards the teacher gave each of the students three more ribbons and instructed them to spread this recognition to ceremony. (之后，老师又给了每个学生三条蓝丝带，并指示他们将这种认可传递下去。)”可知，老师给每个学生额外的三条蓝丝带是为了让他们传递这种认可的行为。故选B。 2．推理判断题。根据第四段中的“My days are really stressful and when I come home, I don’t pay a lot of attention to you. Sometimes I scream at you for not getting good enough grades in school and for your bedroom being a mess, but somehow tonight, I just wanted to let you know that you do make a difference to me. (我的日子压力很大，当我回家时，我没有太关注你。有时我会因为你在学校成绩不够好，以及你的卧室一团糟而对你大喊大叫，但不知怎么的，今晚，我只是想让你知道你对我来说真的很重要。)”可知，在收到蓝丝带之前，他的工作压力很大，不关注儿子，而且还在孩子表现不佳时乱吼孩子，由此可推断，他对家庭责任不够重视，更专注于工作。故选D。 3．推理判断题。根据最后一段“The astonished boy started to sob and sob, and he couldn’t stop crying. His whole body shook. After a long silence, he looked up at his father and said through his tears, “Thank you, Dad. This blue ribbon means more to me than anything. I love you too.” (这个惊讶的男孩开始抽泣，他止不住地哭泣。他的整个身体都在颤抖。长时间的沉默后，他抬头看着父亲，流着泪说：“谢谢你，爸爸。这条蓝丝带对我来说比什么都重要。我也爱你。”)”可知，孩子听到父亲的话止不住的哭泣，沉默长时间后，最后抬起头对爸爸表达了爱，由此可推断，听到父亲的话后，男孩因为长期以来的不安感得到了缓解。故选A。 4．主旨大意题。通读全文，结合首段“She presented each of them with a blue ribbon imprinted with gold letters which read, “Who I Am Makes a Difference”. Afterwards the teacher gave each of the students three more ribbons and instructed them to spread this recognition to ceremony. (她送给每位学生一条印有金色字母的蓝色丝带，上面写着：“我就是与众不同”。之后，老师又给了每位学生三条额外的丝带，并指导他们将这种认可传递下去。)”可知，文章讲述了老师给学生蓝丝带让他们传递认可，结合下文讲述的学生将认可传递给公司初级主管，初级主管又传递给老板，老板最后认可了儿子，这一系列故事体现了每个人都需要被认可和欣赏，由此可知，本文主要告诉我们：每个人都需要被认可和欣赏。故选C。 （2025·北京门头沟·一模）When Sarah was 12 years old, she was diagnosed with a rare condition that affected her ability to walk.

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.(但米勒教练在那里，鼓励她再试一次。他说：“失败只是通往成功之路的一步。”。在接下来的一年里，莎拉不知疲倦地训练，逐渐增加了她的距离和速度。她面临着挫折，包括肌肉疼痛和自我怀疑的时刻，但她从未放弃)”可知，莎拉因为疾病身体上有局限性，在跑步训练中也面临着肌肉疼痛和自我怀疑等心理问题。由此推知，教练米勒的训练计划侧重于耐力和信心是因为莎拉需要克服身体和心理上的障碍。故选A项。 4．细节理解题。根据最后一段“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.(17岁时，莎拉参加了她的第一场比赛——当地的5公里比赛。她没有赢，但她面带微笑地冲过了终点线。对莎拉来说，这不是赢；这是为了向自己证明她能做到)”可知，莎拉参加5K比赛是为了向自己证明她能做到，展示了她向自己证明能力的愿望。故选C项。 （2025·北京朝阳·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.” 1．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 2．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 3．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. 4．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】1．A 2．A 3．C 4．D 【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。 1．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。 2．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。 3．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。 4．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.

It had been forty years since I graduated high school, but the staircase haunted my memories. Boys would sit on both sides of the staircase, rating the girls as we walked by. If they thought a girl was really ugly, they barked. Every time I walked up or down those stairs, the barks, woofs, and laughter rang in my ears. “Just ignore them,” my mother advised. And I did. On the surface. But inside the painful message that I was ugly rooted deep into my soul. Eventually, I graduated, got accepted to college on the West Coast, and left small-town Colorado behind me. I earned a degree in Communications, launched a rewarding career as a writer and teacher, got married, and raised two amazing boys. But when I looked in the mirror, the doubts returned. Then I got an invitation to my fortieth high school reunion. I didn’t like high school, but I wanted to go back and tell those boys off. I wanted to tell them how hurtful and unkind they were. And I wanted to show them they were wrong. I had a husband, a family and all the things they’d made me feel I wasn’t worthy of. I practiced my speech in my mind as I ran errands (差事), cooked dinner, and exercised at senior aerobics. In September, I drove down to the town where I’d spent my high school years. I put on my favorite blouse, touched up my make-up, and steeled myself for the Friday night opening reception. Maybe it’s true that memory is the first thing to go. On the night, people greeted me politely, drinks in hand, flattering me with “You haven’t changed at all.” I’d look at the face and study the nametag with the graduation photo, but it didn’t ring a bell most of the time. Had I completely erased that whole period of my life from my memory? Was I at the wrong reunion? No, some women remembered my mother being their Girl Scout leader. Others had kind things to say about my father, a local college professor. My planned speech wilted (枯萎) on my lips. Instead, I chatted breezily about my two grown sons, living in Seattle, and writing résumés for Boeing workers. People were nice enough, but aside from a couple of friends, I felt like I was talking to strangers. It was pointless to hold a grudge (怨恨) against people I couldn’t even recognize. I was only hurting myself by replaying those memories in my mind. I knew I needed to forgive. A dark sorrow lifted from my soul. I felt happier, more self-confident and attractive. Back home, our senior fitness instructor noticed that I was wearing a new T-shirt. “You are really rockin’ that shirt,” she said. I smiled. She’d said that before, but this time I believed it. 1．Why did the author decide to attend the 40th high school reunion? A．To meet her old teachers. B．To prove her career success. C．To apologize for past misunderstandings. D．To confront hurtful boys and show her worth. 2．What can we learn from this passage? A．The author fought against her bullies directly. B．The reunion attendees were mostly strangers. C．The author’s career success healed her trauma. D．The instructor’s compliment was first genuinely embraced. 3．What can be inferred about the author’s feelings after the high school reunion? A．Confused and sad. B．Angry and proud. C．Relieved and confident. D．Disappointed and regretful. 4．Which is the best title for the passage? A．The Power of Letting Go B．A Surprising Reunion Letter C．Finding Friends in Strangers D．The Painful High School Years 【答案】1．D 2．D 3．C 4．A 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者参加高中同学会，通过释怀过去的伤痛，重获快乐和自信的故事。 1．推理判断题。根据第五段“Then I got an invitation to my fortieth high school reunion. I didn’t like high school, but I wanted to go back and tell those boys off. I wanted to tell them how hurtful and unkind they were. And I wanted to show them they were wrong. I had a husband, a family and all the things they’d made me feel I wasn’t worthy of.

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.” 1．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.

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. 1．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. 2．What makes Laurent Ballesta give his best? A．Fierce competitions. B．New diving technique. C．Sea animal knowledge. D．Challenging situations. 3．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 4．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】1．B 2．D 3．C 4．B 【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。 1．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。 2．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。 3．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。 4．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。 （2025·北京丰台·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. 1．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 2．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. 3．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. 4．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】1．C 2．A 3．C 4．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了自然倡导者Robyn Elman和其他自然爱好者共同努力保护帝王蝶的故事。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段的“She collects the butterfly eggs from the milkweed plants — the only food for these delicate creatures — alongside the highways.

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.

When the term began, however, his father told him that there was no money to pay for his school fees because of the summer drought. Still, William wanted to learn. He made the village library his school. One day, he found a book called Using Energy. On the book’s cover was a picture of windmills, tall steel towers with blades (叶片) spinning like giant fans. He learned that wind — something of which his hometown had plenty — could produce electricity. He couldn’t help picturing his own windmill in mind, but collecting the parts and tools he needed would take months. In a junkyard, he dug through piles of used metal, old cars, and worn-out tractors, searching for anything that might help him construct his machine. He made four-foot-long blades from plastic pipe, which he melted over a fire, flattened out, and hardened with bamboo poles. Earning some money, he paid a blacksmith to attach the piston (活塞) to the pedal sprocket (踏板链轮) of an old bicycle frame. This would be the axle (轮轴) of the windmill. When the wind blew, the spinning blades would turn the bicycle wheel and spin a small dynamo (发电机), donated by his friend. When he had collected all the parts, William began putting them together. He fixed the blades to the tractor fan he found, using washers (垫圈) he’d made from bottle caps. Next he pushed the fan onto the piston joint to the bicycle frame. With the help of his two best friends, William built a 16-foot-tall tower from trunks of trees and lifted the ninety-pound windmill to the top. The big moments eventually came. He climbed up the tower and connected two wires that held a small bulb. As the wind whipped around him, the blades began to turn, slowly at first, then faster and faster. The light bulb flickered (闪烁), then flashed to life. The crowd cheered from below. “Wachitabwina (well done)!” William’s machine now powered his house. And the story of the boy who’d built a power-generating windmill to rescue his family from the drought spread across the Internet. 1．After reading Using Energy, what did William decide to do? A．Learn to survive a drought. B．Make use of wind. C．Build a village library. D．Enter a high school. 2．According to Para.3, which of the following word can best describe William? A．Determined. B．Cooperative. C．Humorous. D．Optimistic. 3．What can you learn about William’s machine? A．It was built by villagers. B．It was made from metal materials. C．It took him years to complete it. D．It worked at the first attempt. 4．What is the best title for the passage? A．Windmills for Villages B．Ideas Worth Spreading C．Winds Of Hope D．Learning from Experience 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．D 4．C 【导语】这是一篇记叙文，讲述了威廉因家庭贫困无法进入高中学习，但他没有放弃学习，在村里图书馆发现一本关于能源利用的书后，决定利用家乡丰富的风能制作风车发电，经过努力最终成功的故事。 1．细节理解题。根据文章第二段“He learned that wind—something of which his hometown had plenty—could produce electricity.(他了解到，他的家乡有大量的风，可以用来发电)”以及第三段“He couldn’t help picturing his own windmill in mind(他忍不住在脑海中想象自己的风车)”可知，读完《利用能源》这本书后，威廉了解到风能发电，决定利用风能。故选B项。 2．推理判断题。根据文章第三段“He couldn’t help picturing his own windmill in mind, but collecting the parts and tools he needed would take months. In a junkyard, he dug through piles of used metal, old cars, and worn-out tractors, searching for anything that might help him construct his machine.(他忍不住在脑海中想象自己的风车，但收集他需要的零件和工具需要几个月的时间。在一个垃圾场里，他在成堆的废旧金属、旧汽车和破旧的拖拉机中挖掘，寻找任何可能帮助他制造机器的东西)”可知，威廉为了建造风车，在垃圾场里寻找材料，即使需要数月也坚持去做，能看出他的坚定决心，所以这表明他是一个意志坚定的人。故选A项。 3．细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段“The big moments eventually came. He climbed up the tower and connected two wires that held a small bulb. As the wind whipped around him, the blades began to turn, slowly at first, then faster and faster. The light bulb flickered (闪烁), then flashed to life.(重要时刻终于到来了。他爬上塔，连接了两根电线，上面挂着一个小灯泡。当风在他周围呼啸时，叶片开始转动，起初很慢，然后越来越快。灯泡闪烁着，然后亮了起来)”可知，文中详细描述了机器运转的过程，从叶片转动到灯泡亮起，表明第一次尝试就成功了，所以威廉的机器第一次尝试就成功运转了。故选D项。 4．主旨大意题。根据文章第二段“He learned that wind—something of which his hometown had plenty—could produce electricity.(他了解到，他的家乡有大量的风，可以用来发电)”、第三段“He couldn’t help picturing his own windmill in mind(他忍不住在脑海中想象自己的风车)”、倒数第二段“The big moments eventually came. He climbed up the tower and connected two wires that held a small bulb. As the wind whipped around him, the blades began to turn, slowly at first, then faster and faster. The light bulb flickered (闪烁), then flashed to life.(重要时刻终于到来了。他爬上塔，连接了两根电线，上面挂着一个小灯泡。当风在他周围呼啸时，叶片开始转动，起初很慢，然后越来越快。灯泡闪烁着，然后亮了起来)”以及最后一段“William’s machine now powered his house. And the story of the boy who’d built a power-generating windmill to rescue his family from the drought spread across the Internet(威廉的机器现在为他的房子提供电力。而这个男孩为了拯救家人免受干旱之苦而建造了一台发电风车的故事在互联网上传开了)”可知，文章讲述了威廉在家庭因干旱没钱支付学费的情况下，通过自己的努力利用风能建造风车发电的故事，这个风车给家庭带来了希望，就像风带来希望一样。所以C项“Winds Of Hope(希望之风)”表达的含义最适合用作本文标题。故选C项。 （24-25高三下·北京·阶段练习）Fish Cheeks By Amy Tan 1987 I fell in love with the minister’s son the winter I turned fourteen. He was not Chinese, but as white as Mary in the manger. For Christmas, I prayed for this blond-haired boy, Robert, and a slim new American nose. When I found out that my parents had invited the minister’s family over for Christmas Eve dinner, I cried. What would Robert think of our shabby Chinese Christmas? What would he think of our noisy Chinese relatives who lacked proper American manners? What terrible disappointment would he feel upon seeing not a roasted turkey and sweet potatoes but Chinese food? On Christmas Eve I saw that my mother had outdone herself in creating a strange menu. The kitchen was littered with appalling mounds of raw food: A slimy (黏糊糊的) rock cod (浔鳕鱼) with bulging eyes, tofu that looked like stacked white sponges, a bowl soaking dried fungus back to life, and squid with crisscrossed knife markings. And then they arrived — the minister’s family and all my relatives in a clamor of doorbells and rumpled Christmas packages. Robert grunted hello, and I pretended he was not worthy of existence. Dinner threw me deeper into despair. My relatives licked the ends of their chopsticks and reached across the table, dipping them into the dozen or so plates of food. Robert and his family waited patiently for platters to be passed to them. My relatives murmured with pleasure when my mother brought out the whole steamed fish. Robert grimaced (脸部扭曲). Then my father poked his chopsticks just below the fish eye and plucked out the soft meat. “Amy, your favorite,” he said, offering me the tender fish cheek. I wanted to disappear. At the end of the meal, my father leaned back and belched (打嗝) loudly, thanking my mother for her fine cooking. “It’s a polite Chinese custom to show you are satisfied,” explained my father to our astonished guests. Robert was looking down at his plate with a reddened face. The minister managed to muster up a quiet burp. I was stunned into silence for the rest of the night. After everyone had gone, my mother said to me, “You want to be the same as American girls on the outside.” She handed me an early gift. It was a miniskirt in beige tweed. “But inside you must always be Chinese. You must be proud you are different. Your only shame is to have shame.” And even though I didn’t agree with her then, I knew that she understood how much I had suffered during the evening’s dinner. It wasn’t until many years later — long after I had gotten over my crush on Robert — that I was able to fully appreciate her lesson and the true purpose behind our particular menu. For Christmas Eve that year, she had chosen all my favorite foods. 1．The author’s descriptions of the food suggest that she _______. A．thought it not festive B．valued her mother’s effort C．viewed it as unappealing D．felt unfamiliar with the menu 2．What made Amy the most embarrassed during the dinner? A．Robert grimaced at the food. B．Her father offered her fish cheek. C．The minister attempted a polite burp. D．Her relatives reached across the table. 3．What was Amy’s mother’s purpose in choosing the menu? A．To bridge the cultural gap. B．To teach family traditions. C．To express a mother’s love. D．To test cultural differences. 4．What has the author learnt in the story? A．Pride lies in accepting who we are. B．Time shapes our understanding. C．Family love conquers all barriers. D．Cultural roots define identity. 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．C 4．A 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了作者在14岁的时候，母亲请外国朋友来家吃饭的事情。当时作者为亲戚和父亲在餐桌前的表现感觉非常失望，非常尴尬。但是母亲却告诫她可以外表像美国女孩，而内在仍然要保持中国人的内在品质。 1．细节理解题。根据第三段“On Christmas Eve I saw that my mother had outdone herself in creating a strange menu. The kitchen was littered with appalling mounds of raw food: A slimy (黏糊糊的) rock cod (浔鳕鱼) with bulging eyes, tofu that looked like stacked white sponges, a bowl soaking dried fungus back to life, and squid with crisscrossed knife markings.(平安夜那天，我看到母亲为了准备一顿奇特的晚餐，真是费尽了心思。厨房里堆满了令人毛骨悚然的生食材：一条眼睛鼓鼓的、黏糊糊的浔鳕鱼，像叠起来的白色海绵一样的豆腐，一碗泡发的干木耳重获新生，还有切满刀痕的鱿鱼)”可知，作者用了负面的、不吸引人的词汇，表明作者认为这些食物看起来并不吸引人。故选C项。 2．细节理解题。根据第四段“Then my father poked his chopsticks just below the fish eye and plucked out the soft meat. “Amy, your favorite,” he said, offering me the tender fish cheek. I wanted to disappear.(然后我父亲用筷子在鱼眼下方戳了一下，挑出了那块软肉。‘艾米，你最爱吃的，’他说着，把嫩嫩的鱼腮肉递给我。我真想找个地缝钻进去)”可知，父亲把鱼鳃肉夹给作者让作者感到自己想找个地缝钻进去，因此，晚餐时让艾米最尴尬的是她父亲给她鱼腮肉。故选B项。 3．推理判断题。根据最后一段“And even though I didn’t agree with her then, I knew that she understood how much I had suffered during the evening’s dinner. It wasn’t until many years later — long after I had gotten over my crush on Robert — that I was able to fully appreciate her lesson and the true purpose behind our particular menu. For Christmas Eve that year, she had chosen all my favorite foods.(尽管我当时并不同意她的看法，但我知道她理解我那天晚上在晚餐上遭受了多少痛苦。直到许多年后——早在我对罗伯特的迷恋消失之后——我才能够完全领会她的教诲，以及我们那顿特别晚餐背后的真正意义。那年平安夜，她选择的都是我最爱吃的食物)”可知，母亲为她选择了所有她最喜欢的食物作为圣诞晚餐的菜单，这表明母亲的目的是表达母爱。故选C项。 4．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“After everyone had gone, my mother said to me, “You want to be the same as American girls on the outside.” She handed me an early gift. It was a miniskirt in beige tweed. “But inside you must always be Chinese. You must be proud you are different. Your only shame is to have shame.”(等大家都走后，母亲对我说：‘你外表想和美国女孩一样。’她递给我一份早到的礼物。那是一条米色粗花呢迷你裙。‘但内心你要永远是个中国人。你要为自己与众不同而感到骄傲。你唯一的羞耻就是有羞耻感。’)”可推知，作者的母亲告诉她要为自己与众不同而感到骄傲，唯一的羞耻是有羞耻感。作者后来意识到母亲的话的道理，即要接受并珍视自己的身份和文化背景。因此，作者从这个故事中学到的是“骄傲在于接受我们自己是谁”。故选A项。 （24-25高三下·北京·开学考试）She spent over two decades working her way up in the science industry, either as a chemist in a lab or in a management role. Now Berkeley Middle School teacher Mrs. Amy Adams is employing her science skills in a different environment. She decided to mix things up a bit and came up with a winning formula to help make a difference in the classroom. Mrs. Amy Adams is our Cool School teacher of the week. She took a couple of years off after having children. While volunteering at her kids’ school, she was fascinated by education. Adams says, “This is where I am supposed to be. I loved my job and the people I worked with, but I just kept feeling unsettled, so finally, I channeled my energy into something meaningful.” Adams says she stepped out on faith, and the rest is history, well actually it’s science. She’s now in year six of teaching seventh-grade science at BMS. “This is my alma mater. I walked the halls of Berkeley Middle. So it is with all four of my children. My youngest is walking the halls now. It just feels like home,” Adams said. Adams describes her teaching style as interactive. She says, “I want them to have a voice and learn critical thinking, so we feature colorful activities. Whether it’s note-taking, worksheets, doing DNA extractions on a strawberry or dissecting frogs, the process is always interactive. By doing so, I intend to cultivate a culture of learning and arouse their interest in science.” LaTanya Butler, principal at BMS says, “She was in the science industry, so she can relate the concepts she teaches to real life, which is one of the great attributes to have in a teacher.” Butler says Mrs. Adams also pushed to add an additional day to her work week. “I’ve had to open the building at her request so she can work on Saturdays. That’s just the attitude she adopts, to go over and beyond for our students here. I just appreciate Mrs. Adams for hearing the call to switch to education. If I could clone Mrs. Adams fifty more times, not only Berkeley Middle but schools in general would benefit from that spirit of dedication.” When asked if she misses working in the industry, Mrs. Adams says, “I’ll tell you I work harder now than I ever did, that I’m more tired now than I ever was, but I absolutely love what I do, and I feel like what I’m doing makes a difference. I can’t imagine not being here.” 1．What was the main cause for Adams’ changing her job? A．Her love of education. B．Her lack of inspiration. C．Her spirit of volunteering. D．Her desire of being perfect. 2．What can we learn from LaTanya Butler’s words? A．Adams can associate theory with practice. B．Adams’ dedication will inspire more teachers. C．Adams works overtime to teach students more. D．Adams owes her success to her work experience. 3．Which of the following can best describe Adams? A．Creative and competent. B．Patient and imaginative. C．Devoted and passionate. D．Warm-hearted and modest. 4．What is the passage trying to tell us? A．Keep looking, don’t settle. B．Action speaks louder than words． C．To know oneself is true progress.

When he was young, he moved to Kunming with his mother. Feeling like a caged bird in a big city, he was bored with the busy and noisy city life and looked forward to nature. His chance soon came. In 1983, he helped shoot (拍摄) a documentary about birds. That experience led him to learn photography and take photos of flying birds. In the 1980s, the Internet was not that popular in China and cameras were expensive. He managed to borrow a camera and threw himself into studying how to use it. During that time, the library became his favorite place where he first read some magazines about nature. It opened a door for him to connect with nature. In 1992, a research program was organized to protect a type of unusual monkeys living only in China. Usually, the home of these monkeys has half-a-year-long winters. It created great challenges for Xi Zhinong’s work, but he never drew back. “I didn’t see the monkeys in the wild until I went into the mountains the third time,” said Xi Zhinong. He went into the snow mountains six times just to get valuable photographs of the monkeys. Several years later, his works won international prizes. People around the world began to pay attention to the protection of wild animals in China. And he is the first Chinese winner of the world-famous Wildlife Photographer of the Year. In order to call on tons of people to protect wildlife with cameras, he started “China Wildlife Photography Training Camp”. He hopes that more young people will join in for the nature protection. 1．What can we learn about Xi Zhinong from paragraph 1? A．He felt like a free bird. B．He would like to live in nature.

A．World Attention to Animal Protection B．A Door Between Magazines and Nature C．Difficulties of Taking Wildlife Photos D．A Photographer’s Way of Protecting Nature 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．D 4．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了奚志农与摄影的渊源以及用摄影来保护中国野生动物的经历。 1．推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Feeling like a caged bird in a big city, he was bored with the busy and noisy city life and looked forward to nature.(他感觉自己像一只笼在大城市里的鸟，厌倦了繁忙嘈杂的城市生活，期待着大自然。)”可知，奚志农在城市感到不自由，向往大自然。由此可推测出，他想生活在大自然中。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据第二段中的“In 1983, he helped shoot (拍摄) a documentary about birds.(1983年，他帮助拍摄了一部关于鸟类的纪录片。)”、第四段中的“In 1992, a research program was organized to protect a type of unusual monkeys living only in China.(1992年，一个研究项目被组织以保护一种只生活在中国的不寻常的猴子。)”和第四段“He went into the snow mountains six times just to get valuable photographs of the monkeys.(他进了雪山六次，只是为了给猴子拍一些有价值的照片。)”、第五段中的“Several years later, his works won international prizes.(几年后，他的作品获得了国际奖项。)”以及最后一段中的“In order to call on tons of people to protect wildlife with cameras, he started “China Wildlife Photography Training Camp”.(为了号召成千上万的人用相机保护野生动物，他创办了‘中国野生动物摄影训练营’。)”可知，奚志农在1983年帮助拍摄了一部鸟类纪录片，1992年拍了关于猴子的照片，几年后获得了国际奖项；获奖后他成立了一个摄影训练营，所以正确顺序为b—c—a—d。故选A。 3．词句猜测题。画线短语所在句中的but前后为转折关系。根据倒数第三段“It created great challenges for Xi Zhinong’s work(这给奚志农的工作带来了巨大的挑战)”可知，这项工作非常有挑战性。再根据下一句中的“I didn’t see the monkeys in the wild until I went into the mountains the third time(直到第三次进入山里，我才在野外看到猴子)”可推知，这项具有挑战性的工作没有让他退缩，他坚持进山找猴子。drew back意为“退缩”，与give up(放弃)意思相近。故选D。 4．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是最后一段中的“He hopes that more young people will join in for the nature protection.(他希望有更多的年轻人加入自然保护的行列中。)”可知，本文主要讲述了奚志农用摄影来保护自然的故事，所以 D项“A Photographer’s Way of Protecting Nature(摄影师保护自然的方式)”最适合做本文标题。故选D。 （24-25高三上·北京昌平·期末）Juleus Ghunta is a published children’s author and award-winning poet. But growing up, he could barely read. Raised in a rural part of Western Jamaica, Ghunta and his brothers had limited resources to learn and play. “Life was very difficult for us,” he recalled. When Ghunta finally went to school, he couldn’t catch up on his reading skills. Since not only had he been kept home from school as a child, he had not been exposed to books. By the time he entered Grade Six, he could only spell his own name, but couldn’t make out words or read with understanding. The situation was made worse by a series of impatient teachers who made him feel worthless and upset. He struggled in school with a deep sense of loss. When Ghunta was about 12, a young teacher-in-training, whose name he does not recall, started a reading program for struggling students. Ghunta was the first to sign up. “The teacher was incredibly kind to me,” he said. “She was patient and creative, but did not ask anything of me except that I work hard and believe in myself.” Under her guidance, Ghunta’s reading skills started to improve and his sense of insufficiency began to lift. He graduated from elementary school with a number of academic awards. He went on to college, and later, graduate school. Today, he is the author of two children’s books, including Rohan Bullkin and the Shadows: A Story about ACEs and Hope, about overcoming difficult experiences in childhood. He’s now working on his first full-length collection of poetry. In 2010, Ghunta went back to his elementary school, inquiring the principal and teachers if the young teacher was still there, but failed. He hoped to meet her and thank her for seeing his potential. “I would love her to see the significant impact she has made on my life, and the ways in which I have carried this memory of her — the hope, the light, with me — and how it continues to be a source of joy.” 1．How did Ghunta feel in Grade Six? A．Astonished. B．Delighted. C．Relaxed. D．Depressed. 2．The young teacher influenced Ghunta mainly by _______. A．encouraging his independence B．building up his confidence C．inspiring his imagination D．developing his creativity 3．Ghunta went back to his elementary school in 2010 to ________. A．find inspirations for his books B．recall his pleasant time there C．thank his teacher face to face D．show off his achievements 4．What can we learn from this passage? A．Where there is a will, there is a way. B．Everything comes to those who wait. C．Encouragement can transform a life. D．Diligence is the mother of success. 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．C 4．C 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Juleus Ghunta曾经因为生活艰难，不仅小时候不上学，而且没有接触过书，于是到了六年级过得很艰难，多亏了一位老师的鼓励，建立了他的自信，改变了他的人生。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段“By the time he entered Grade Six, he could only spell his own name, but couldn’t make out words or read with understanding. The situation was made worse by a series of impatient teachers who made him feel worthless and upset. He struggled in school with a deep sense of loss.(当他进入六年级时，他只会拼写自己的名字，但不能辨认单词或阅读理解。一群不耐烦的老师让情况变得更糟，他们让他觉得自己毫无价值，心烦意乱。他带着深深的失落感在学校里挣扎)”可知，Ghunta在六年级时感到抑郁。故选D。 2．细节理解题。根据第三段“She was patient and creative, but did not ask anything of me except that I work hard and believe in myself.(她很有耐心，也很有创造力，但她对我没有任何要求，只是要求我努力学习，相信自己)”可知，这位年轻的老师主要通过建立他的信心来影响Ghunta。故选B。 3．细节理解题。根据最后一段“In 2010, Ghunta went back to his elementary school, inquiring the principal and teachers if the young teacher was still there, but failed. He hoped to meet her and thank her for seeing his potential. “I would love her to see the significant impact she has made on my life, and the ways in which I have carried this memory of her — the hope, the light, with me — and how it continues to be a source of joy.”(2010年，Ghunta回到了他的小学，询问校长和老师，这位年轻的老师是否还在那里，但没有回答。他希望能见到她，并感谢她看到了他的潜力。“我想让她看到她对我的生活产生的重大影响，以及我对她的记忆——希望和光明——的方式，以及它如何继续成为我快乐的源泉。”)”可知，Ghunta在2010年回到他的小学，当面感谢他的老师。故选C。 4．推理判断题。根据最后一段“I would love her to see the significant impact she has made on my life, and the ways in which I have carried this memory of her — the hope, the light, with me — and how it continues to be a source of joy.(我想让她看到她对我的生活产生的重大影响，以及我对她的记忆——希望和光明——的方式，以及它如何继续成为我快乐的源泉)”结合文章主要讲述了Juleus Ghunta曾经因为生活艰难，不仅小时候不上学，而且没有接触过书，于是到了六年级过得很艰难，多亏了一位老师的鼓励，建立了他的自信，改变了他的人生。可知，故事告诉我们鼓励可以改变一个人的生活。故选C。 试卷第2页，共27页 试卷第1页，共27页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
