2024-2025学年高一英语下学期期末考点大串讲（人教版2019） 考题猜想01阅读理解-记叙文培优专练20篇 Passage 01 （山东省烟台市2023-2024学年高一下学期期末）On a sunny morning in 2001, Jim, a skilled diver and ocean lover, was diving as usual around Palm Beach in the Bahamas when he spotted a giant tiger shark circling a few feet away. The shark, which he later named Emma, was clearly struggling in pain. Seeing Jim, Emma swam close to him seemingly quite on purpose. With great fear and curiosity, Jim checked and found a fishing hook in Emma’s mouth. Despite the obvious risks, he managed to pull the hook out, careful not to cause any further injury to the animal. Jim has since removed four other hooks from Emma’s mouth on several occasions and sometimes freed her from fishing lines or plastic bags. The two have become inseparable. Every time Jim goes into the water in the area of Palm Beach, Emma comes around and rubs her head against him as a sign of affection (喜爱). It’s not the kind of behavior most people would expect from tiger sharks, which could easily tear a person apart. “When you suddenly come across a huge shark, it seems like it might end your life,” Jim said. “What makes Emma so special is that she’s so loving and affectionate. She’s not a mindless killer but a sentient (有感情的) animal just like cats and dogs.” Emma will always recognize Jim every time he dives in her area even if he changes diving equipment. Over time, she has learned his hand signals — an invitation to get her head rubbed and Jim claims that she started acting like a playful dog who loves being petted. “What makes Emma so special is that she’s so loving and affectionate. She’s not a mindless killer but a sentient (有感情的) animal just like cats and dogs.” Jim said. “To have a connection that lasts the entire time you`re in the water is so moving and so influential. One of the best things that have happened to me is the discovery of the affectionate aspect of this tiger shark.” 4．What might be the reason why Emma approached Jim initially? A．To greet him. B．To seek assistance. C．To ask for food. D．To make friends with him. 5．What makes Emma unique according to Jim? A．Her enormous body. B．Her feeding ability. C．Her high research value. D．Her pet-like character. 6．What can we learn from the text? A．Emma can read Jim`s sign language. B．Emma has never attacked human beings. C．Jim once saved Emma from a deadly disease. D．Jim has removed four hooks from Emma`s mouth. 7．Which can be the best title for the text? A．A Diver and His Odd Friend B．An Exciting Diving Experience C．Jim: A Person Devoted to Ocean Protection D．Palm Beach: An Ideal Base for Shark Watching Passage 02 （重庆市巴蜀中学校2023-2024学年高一下学期期末）Laurence Kemball-Cook, a 30-year-old engineer and inventor, is the creator of Pavegen, a paving tile (地砖) that turns the force of people’s footsteps into clean, renewable energy. “My vision is for Pavegen to be to cities what ‘Intel inside’ is for PCs,” he says. “I want to cover every single city in the world with our tiles. I want to turn every bridge, road and building into a kinetic-energy (动能的) device.” The idea first came to him while he was studying industrial design and technology at university. He was challenged to design a strict light that’s powered by solar or by wind. “But when the sun’s not shining or when the wind’s not blowing there’s no power. So I tried for a year and I failed.” he recalled. “I was really upset. Then one day I was walking through Victoria Station in London and I thought about all the people there. I’d read that 38,000 people an hour walked through the station. What if we could use that energy as a power source?” Laurence admits, “The idea of generating energy from footsteps isn’t new and other people have tried it. But the power is so low that you can never do anything meaningful with that energy.”  Laurence took a different route. The weight of a footstep on his tile makes a horizontal flywheel inside it rotate (旋转). “The more people walk, the more this flywheel spins,” he explains. “Then we take the power from the flywheel as we need it. We can suck it out bit by bit.” At the 2013 Paris Marathon, where Pavegen installed (安装) tiles at the finish, generating 3,141,926 joules—enough to recharge 1880 mobile phones or power an electric Nissan Leaf car for 24 km. Laurence said, “Some people might define their aims as wealth or success, but for me it’s just, let’s get it out there and do good.” 4．What inspired Laurence’s idea for Pavegen? A．An experiment in the lab. B．A theory in the textbook. C．A design of a street light. D．An experience at a station. 5．What does paragraph 5 mainly focus on about Pavegen? A．Its significance. B．Its limitation. C．Its working mechanism. D．Its possible application. 6．What does the 2013 Paris Marathon suggest about the tiles? A．It gained popularity. B．It showed great promise. C．It still needed improvement. D．It was pioneering but inefficient. 7．Which of the following can best describe Laurence? A．Ambitious and creative. B．Caring and responsible. C．Brave and intelligent. D．Flexible and independent. Passage 03 （云南省昭通一中教研联盟2023-2024学年高一下学期期末）It was rush hour on the morning of June 1 in the West Texas city of San Angelo. Heather Santellano, 36, was driving her white 2012 Mazda on Houston Harte Frontage Road with her nine-year-old daughter and ten-year-old son in the back. Suddenly, a red truck cut them off. Santellano turned the wheel hard to the right, sending the Mazda skidding off the road and down an embankment (路堤) that ended in a dropoff after about 50 feet. If the car didn’t stop, it would fall apart. Then a bit of luck: As the car raced toward the edge, its undercarriage (底盘) got stuck on the cement lip of the embankment ledge, stopping it. The occupants, however, were far from safe. The car had come to rest on top of a retaining wall, literally shaking on the edge of disaster. One sudden move by anyone inside could send it over. Jacob Rodriguez watched the scene unfold from the truck-accessories company where he works. An ex-soldier, he whispered a Navy language: “Ship, shipmates, self,” then he and four other men ran to the car. They leaped onto the trunk to balance the weight as the terrified kids in the back seat watched. Meanwhile, Julio Vasquez and his nephew, Marco Vasquez, were driving to their jobs at nearby Premier Automotive. Julio jumped out of the car to help while Marco went to the shop, grabbed a heavy-duty strap, and returned to the shaking car. He tethered the Mazda to an F-350 truck that had been driven over by one of the other rescuers. With the car secured, the group carefully opened the back doors and helped the children out. But their departure shifted the car’s weight, causing it to tilt (倾斜) forward. The men, still on the trunk, begged Santellano to jump into the back seat to rebalance the weight. She did and then inched out the back door. Finally, the men carefully got off the trunk. Everyone was safe. “We are lucky,” Rodriguez told USA Today, “and this would be a different story.” 24．What can we learn from the first two paragraphs? A．Santellano’s car couldn’t start. B．The people in the car were safe. C．A red truck got stuck on the road. D．A car accident happened to Santellano. 25．What do paragraphs 4 and 5 mainly talk about? A．Why they saved people.

It has been a birthday gift for my husband for 10 years. It all began because my husband Mike hated the commercial aspects of celebrating birthday. Knowing he felt this way, I decided one year to stop buying the usual shirts, sweaters, ties and so on. I reached for something special just for Mike. The inspiration came in an unusual way. Our son Kevin, who was 12 that year, was wrestling (摔跤) at the junior level at the school he attended. There was once a match against a team called Power, sponsored (赞助) by an inner city charity. As the match began, I was surprised to see that team members of Power were wrestling without headgear, a kind of light helmet designed to protect a wrestler’s ears. It was a luxury the team obviously couldn’t afford. Well, we ended up beating them. And as each of their boys got up from the ground, he walked around with a kind of street pride that couldn’t acknowledge defeat. Mike, seated beside me, shook his head sadly, “I wish just one of them could have won,” he said. “They have a lot of potential, but losing like this could take the heart right out of them.” Mike loved kids — all kids. He understood kids in competitive situations, having coached little league football, baseball and basketball. That’s when the idea for his present suddenly occurred. That afternoon, I went to a local sporting goods store, bought varieties of wrestling headgear and shoes and sent them secretly to the inner city charity. On his birthday, I placed the envelope on the tree, the note inside telling Mike what I had done and that this was his gift from me. 4．What is the author aimed at in paragraph 1?

Passage 05 （山西省晋中市一中2024-2025学年高一下学期3月月考）Cathy Brennan calmly paddled her bright yellow kayak (皮艇) down the Potomac River,continuing her voyage, the latest of her solo trips on major waterways. It was tough, but it allowed Brennan to let go of everything else, empty her brain of the everyday chores and focus on the present. “I’m in the moment, looking at the waves,” said Brennan.The journey is a minimalist style: a sleeping bag,a small tent, a rain jacket, a change of clothes, a first aid hit, apples and cheese sticks. “I always drink the river,” she says. Brennan loves being on the rivers, seeing the eagles above, deer on the banks and a fascinating bunch of bugs and insects that never find their way into homes. However, every few days Brennan will find a hotel for the night where she can get a shower and at a chceseburger. She’ll also check in with her husband John, who has helped her select the river and research the trips at their home. “He’s my virtual Sherpa with benefits,”Brennan says, laughing. She has a phone with her but seldom calls or texts anyone. Her children usually keep track of her via the transponder (应答器) that sends them her location every 10 minutes or so. Brennan knows that solo kayaking is not for everyone and she’s not reckless. When going through rapids (急流), she watches the weather in advance. She is careful about where she camps and who is around her. She has packed up her equipment and headed back out on the river when she has felt unsafe.

Passage 06 （辽宁省葫芦岛市2023-2024学年高一下学期期末）Deanna Stellato-Dudek retired in 2001 because of injuries. But this week, she achieved the unthinkable. With her partner Maxime Deschamps, the 40-year-old former retiree defeated athletes less than half her age and became the oldest woman to win a World Figure Skating Championship. Even more remarkable, she did it in the pairs event, in which the top women are thrown across the ice, lifted over their partners’ heads with one arm, and tossed (抛) more than 10 feet in the air. Stellato-Dudek had an impressive junior career as a singles skater, winning the 1999-2000 International Junior Grand Prix Final and receiving the silver medal at the 2000 World Junior Championships. However, by 2001, a few significant injuries led to her decision to retire at age 17. For the next 16 years, Stellato-Dudek lived a relatively normal adulthood. She became a successful aesthetician (美学家) and got married. She was no longer attempting risky triple (转体三周的) jumps on international ice. But the feelings of unfinished business kept disturbing her — whether she had quit the sport too early and whether she had more to achieve in skating. So she tried on her old skates and attempted the impossible — learning how to become a pairs skater in her 30s and returning to competitive ice. Her efforts paid off, and now Stellato-Dudek and her partner are unlikely world champions at ages 40 and 32. Stellato-Dudek said she hoped the historic victory inspired everyone, even non-skaters, who might think it was too late to pursue and achieve their goals. “I hope it encourages people not to stop before they reach their potential,” she told reporters after winning the title Thursday night. Stellato-Dudek is not done. Her next major goal is to compete in the 2026 Winter Olympics at age 42. “She is a fighter,” her partner said. “For her, it’s the Olympics every day. ” 4．What do we know about Stellato-Dudek from paragraph 1?

Passage 07 （江西省部分学校2023-2024学年高一下学期期末）A girl is driving with her parents when they spot watercress growing by the side of the road. Her parents stop and take her out of the back seat. They ask her to take off her shoes and roll up her jeans to help them gather it. It is the beginning of the story in Watercress, a picture book written by Andrea Wang. The story is based on her childhood. “My parents actually spotted watercress growing by the side of the road in Ohio where I grew up,” Wang says. “And I was horribly embarrassed to get out and gather the watercress from the dirty water. It really made me aware of how different I was from my friends. But for my parents, it brought back memories of their home country and it was a connection to their homeland that they had left behind.” The feeling of being ashamed of our parents is universal. We’ve probably all experienced that at some point. “I remember walking 20 feet behind my parents when we were walking down the street, pretending that I didn’t belong to them,” Wang laughs. The pictures in Watercress have drawn inspiration from Chinese landscape paintings, which often have mountains covered in clouds. “It always has felt dreamlike to me when I look at those paintings. And I thought it would be nice to bring it into my book because of its theme of memory,” Wang explains. Unlike the little girl in the story, Andrea Wang didn’t hear any story about her parents’ childhoods until she was an adult. “My parents were trying to protect me, by not telling me the hardships they went through,” Wang says. But as a kid, Wang remembers feeling disconnected from her history. “I think it’s really important for families to share what they can,” Wang says. “So that kids know that history and can feel a sense of pride in their culture.” 8．How did Andrea Wang feel when she was told to gather watercress? A．Excited. B．Curious. C．Scared. D．Ashamed. 9．What does the word “universal” underlined in paragraph 3 mean? A．Making sb feel a little bit angry. B．Being true at all times and in all places. C．Needing skill to do or understand. D．Being related to a particular group or society. 10．What does Andrea Wang say about Chinese landscape paintings? A．They are boring. B．They are difficult. C．They are beautiful. D．They are expensive. 11．What does Andrea Wang suggest parents do? A．Avoid talking about hardships. B．Explain whatever they went through. C．Tell their kids to be proud of their culture. D．Share some of their experiences with their kids. Passage 08 （吉林省“BEST合作体”2023-2024学年高一下学期期末）In his senior year of high school, Wei Fangjie happened to see a poster for recruiting PLA Air Force pilots. “The pilots on the poster looked really cool, and I got to know that a pilot is known as a profession of the brave. So, I decided to give it a try,” said Wei, 26, who now works as a flight instructor at the Air Force Aviation University. In 2015, Wei was admitted into the Air Force Aviation University and became an Air Force pilot student. According to Wei, pilots need to not only study aviation theory but also practice difficult aerobatics (飞行特技) like rolls and loops. These moves require strong resistance to g-forces. “To do a loop, a pilot has to bear about 3g of load, which feels like three times their body weight pressing down on them,” said Wei. To build this resistance, they often do strength training like weighted squats. They also use special equipment like a spinning ladder (旋梯) to overcome dizziness. Despite all the training, becoming a top PLA Air Force pilot remains a tough job. “During flight, pilots must carefully decide how to land, especially at night, and maintain position during formation flight,” explained Wei. He added that the key to these skills lies in continuous practice. In the world of aviation, a balanced mindset and quick thinking are very important. One of Wei’s most unforgettable experiences was dealing with illusions (错觉) during a formation fight up above the clouds. All he could see in front of him was the lead aircraft and clouds. “I felt like I was turning all the time, but my instruments showed that my flight was level,” said Wei. “In such situations, trusting instruments is key to making sound decisions.” But what always remains constant is the great sense of freedom and pride that Wei feels as he flies his aircraft in the sky and looks down at Earth from above. Now, as an experienced flight instructor, Wei hopes to channel his passion for aviation into the “training and development of a new generation of skilled pilots so as to contribute to the PLA Air Force’s combat readiness.” 24．What inspired Wei Fangjie to pursue a career as a pilot? A．Meeting a flight instructor at school. B．His deep interest in aviation technology. C．Advice from a high school career advisor. D．Seeing a poster wanting PLA Air Force pilots. 25．How do pilots develop resistance to g-forces? A．By practicing aerobatics. B．By getting rid of dizziness. C．By flying with a spinning ladder. D．By doing strength-building exercises. 26．What is the key to mastering flying skills, according to Wei? A．Quick thinking. B．Frequent training. C．A balanced mindset. D．Overcoming illusions. 27．What is Wei’s current goal as a fight instructor? A．Training a new generation of skilled pilots. B．Flying his aircraft with a sense of freedom. C．Encouraging more young people to become pilots. D．Contributing to the development of aviation theory. Passage 09 （黑龙江省哈尔滨师范大学青冈实中2023-2024学年高一下学期期末）On The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, there is a group of people regularly moving through the snowy mountains, lakes and pastures (牧场). They are doing one thing: picking up rubbish. They are from the “Beautiful Travel”, an organization founded by Shi Ning. In 2014, when he traveled alone from Dali to Lhasa, seeing amounts of garbage along the road, he became shocked. Later, Shi Ning and his two companions discussed possible solutions to environmental problems. In 2015, they launched a series of campaigns, starting from picking up trash along the highway in Xizang areas. Since then, more than 45 tons of deserted plastic bottles have been recycled thanks to the “Beautiful Travel“. If you pile these plastic bottles up, they would be about 25 times as high as Qomolangma. However, it is difficult for garbage transporters (运输车) to run at high altitudes during rainy and snowy days, with the closure (关闭) of roads. They established rubbish pickup sites with the local government. Volunteers go to villages, towns and mountainous areas to collect garbage and when the garbage is piled up to 500 kg, vehicles are sent to collect it. They also call on tourists and local residents to stop littering (乱扔垃圾) to protect local biodiversity. The campaign involves about 30,000 tourists all the way. Volunteers sort out 20% recyclable garbage and recycle it according to the local price. The remaining 80% of non-recyclable garbage will be handed over by volunteers and staffs to the municipal (市政的) waste removal department for further recycling. The T-shirts worn by the volunteers were made using recycled materials from the trash. Blue, representing the blue sky and our planet, is specially chosen for this organization. “It’s like planting the seeds of civilization in people’s hearts, and I believe that one day, they will come out, forming a beautiful landscape,” Shi Ning said. 4．What made Shi Ning establish the“Beautiful Travel"? A．How he felt about Xizang. B．What he saw along the way. C．The hard life of the local people.

But Marielle didn’t want these presents for herself. She wanted to give them to other people. At school, Marielle’s teacher taught, “You can’t always be self-centered. You have to be other-centered.” Marielle’s class had helped collect supplies for a school in Nigeria. But Marielle wanted to do more. With help from her parents, Marielle researched local charities and found a shelter that helps women and children in need. After finding out what supplies the shelter needed, Marielle included a list with each party invitation. Her friends brought shelter supplies instead of birthday presents to Marielle’s party. People who couldn’t come to her party still gave gifts, as did her school. She had so many gifts that they filled her family’s truck! “It was like we were going on vacation,” Marielle said with a smile. “I couldn’t even put my bag in there.” She said it was fun to watch the number of donations (捐赠物) grow. In the end, she collected $650 in cash donations and more than $1,000 worth of supplies for the shelter. When Marielle went with her parents to drop off the supplies, people at the shelter surprised her with another birthday party. They had made her a cake and gave her a card signed by everyone at the shelter. Marielle hopes other children will hear about her special birthday and choose their own charity to support. “I felt really good when I did it,” she said. “You’re not just giving them something; you’re helping them with their whole life.” 4．Why did Marielle ask for many unusual birthday gifts?

Ware was made to feel this way almost every day in school. By high school, T. J. was the most celebrated troublemaker in his town. He was always impolite, didn’t answer questions and got into lots of fights. I met T. J. for the first time at a weekend leadership program. At the start of the program, T. J. was literally standing outside the circle of students with that “go ahead, impress me” look on his face. The ice really melted (融化) when the groups started building a list of positive and negative things that occurred at school that year. T. J. had brilliant thoughts on those situations. The other students in T. J.’s group welcomed his comments. All of a sudden T. J. felt like a part of the group, and before long he was being treated like a leader. The next following days, T. J. was very active in all the sessions. Later he joined the Homeless Project team. He knew something about poverty, hunger and hopelessness. The other students on the team were impressed with his passionate concern and ideas. By the end of the program, the students elected T. J. co-chairman of the team. Many people couldn’t believe that the principal (校长) would allow this crucial beginning to a three-year action plan to stay in the incapable hands of T. J. Ware. Two weeks later, T. J. and his friends led a group of 70 students in a drive to collect food. They collected a school record: 2, 854 cans of food in just two hours. As the local newspaper covered the event with a full-page article, T. J. started showing up at school every day and answered questions from teachers for the first time. Later, he led a second project, yielding 9,000 cans of food in one day and taking care of 70 percent of the needed food for the homeless shelter for one year. T. J. reminds us that a bird with a broken wing only needs mending. But once it has healed, it can fly higher than the rest. T. J. got a job. He became productive. He is flying quite nicely these days. 24．At first, what was T. J. known for in the town? A．Misbehavior and rudeness. B．Popularity in his group. C．Poor academic performance. D．Activeness in class discussion. 25．What changed T. J.’s attitude towards the program? A．Getting support from the principal. B．Joining the Homeless Project team. C．Being the co-chairman of the team.

Growing up in a small village in Vietnam, it was inconvenient for Phan to travel to hospitals in neighboring cities. Whenever she caught a cold or experienced a headache as a child, her family would seek the help of a local TCM practitioner. This led her to major in TCM at a traditional medical school in China. According to Phan, even though TCM has long been commonly practiced and accepted in Vietnam, finding a good school to learn TCM in Vietnam is not easy. As a foreign student, Phan finds the TCM basic theory course to be the most challenging one in the courses. Being widespread and far-reaching, TCM is deeply connected with Chinese philosophy. It requires years of learning and practice to truly understand the concepts of yin and yang, harmony between human and nature, and the five elements of wood, fire, earth, metal, and water. Sometimes she even translates the TCM vocabulary and scripts into Vietnamese so she can remember and understand them better. Overseas students of TCM, like Phan, are not rare. According to a report, the total number of international students studying TCM in China was 8, 187 last year, with the largest population of 6,441 coming from Asian countries, followed by 832 from Africa and 432 from Europe. Also, many Chinese medical universities had projects that sent professors overseas to teach TCM. The fast- developing situation of TCM is not limited to schools and clinics. It has also become a lifestyle choice for many young people. 4．Which of the following best explains “practitioner” underlined in Paragraph 1? A．Visitor. B．Officer. C．Student. D．Doctor. 5．How did Phan Thi Kim Chi find the TCM basic theory course? A．Tough. B．Inspiring. C．Confusing. D．Common. 6．Why are there many numbers mentioned in Paragraph 3? A．To attract more students. B．To prove the popularity of TCM. C．To show the difficulties of promoting TCM. D．To explain causes of students choosing TCM. 7．What is the best title for the text? A．The Development of TCM B．Global Rise of TCM C．Promising Future of TCM D．The Hidden Power of TCM Passage 13 （江苏省常州市2023-2024学年高一下英语期末）In late spring and early summer each year, tens of millions of butterflies come out of their chrysalises (蚕蛹) in the butterfly valley in southwest China’s Yunnan province. For butterfly expert Yang Zhenwen, it is the busiest time of the year, but he greets it with great enthusiasm. Before the break of dawn, Yang has already arrived at the observation point, busily tending to the needs of the awakening butterflies. “Due to warmer temperatures, the ‘butterfly explosion’ this year occurred slightly earlier than usual, and the size of the butterflies is larger than that in previous years,” said 46-year-old Yang, curator (馆长) of the butterfly valley museum. “We expect that there will be about 80 million to 100 million butterflies in the valley during this year’s ‘butterfly explosion’. That seems so crazy,” said Yang. According to Yang, in the valley, more than 320 butterfly species have been identified in specimens or photographs, including the rarest, most primitive, largest and smallest butterflies in China. Besides Yang, many local villages have also assumed the role of butterfly guardians. However, the journey toward achieving human-butterfly harmony was far from easy. Some two decades ago, the villagers had little awareness of butterfly protection, believing wrongly that butterflies could endanger their food crops. They viewed them as pests that should be removed. In 1998, Yang began his journey at the agricultural science station in Ma’an’di Township, the very place where the butterfly valley lies. “It was there that I got into a frequent dilemma— the local villagers, seeking to protect their crops, would often turn to pesticides to kill the butterflies,” he said. “However, my sincere love for these creatures forced me to prevent them from harming the delicate insects.” Now, the development of ecotourism relying on butterfly resources has successfully changed the once extremely poor township. More villagers have started reproducing butterflies. He describes the butterfly valley as a “dream-making machine”, which extends the “butterfly dream” of harmonious coexistence between humans and nature. 24．What made Yang’s aim to reach human-butterfly harmony hard in the beginning? A．Warm temperatures in local villages. B．The number and size of the butterflies. C．Improper location of the butterfly valley. D．Lack of awareness of butterfly protection. 25．What does the underlined word “dilemma” in paragraph 4 mean? A．A choice difficult to make. B．A fact easy to understand. C．A duty hard to carry out. D．A situation smooth to deal with. 26．Which of the following best describe Yang Zhenwen? A．Honest and professional. B．Humorous and creative. C．Hard-working and strong-willed. D．Generous and easy-going. 27．Which can be a suitable title for the passage? A．Changing the Poor State of a Town B．Volunteering as a Butterfly Guardian C．Helping Butterflies Spread Their Wings D．Developing a Relationship with the Locals Passage 14 （重庆市西南大学附中2023-2024学年高一下学期期末）Five-year-old Mustafa is smiling for the first time in ages. She did not receive a new toy or her favorite candy; rather, she got a wig (假发). Mustafa had to go through painful procedures after being diagnosed (诊断) with cancer at an early age. Her father expressed her sadness when she lost her hair after months of chemotherapy (化疗). “She saw children of her age jumping in playgrounds and spending hours styling their hair, while she couldn’t. Losing her hair made her hopeless, negatively impacting her response to treatment,” the girl’s father said. Coming from a less fortunate family, Mustafa now sits in a humble hairdresser’s in Cairo, sliding her fingers through her new long hair as she looks in the mirror with fresh enthusiasm. Behind that smile and renewed confidence is Salam, from Egypt, who has been personally funding and designing free wigs for children with cancer to give them power to defeat their illness. Salam took up his mission when he saw a viral video on social media of a young cancer patient who was excited at receiving a new wig. It was the moment when he decided to provide free wigs to children with cancer to lift up their spirits. “Many families can barely afford expensive cancer treatment costs, let alone costly cosmetic (美容) services that can play a huge role in restoring children`s confidence and giving them strength to continue their treatment,” said Salam. As part of the self-funded initiative, Salam purchases the necessary requirements to make a wig, while his father helps design hairstyles to serve different children. So far, Salam has helped over 15 children walk out of his shop empowered with big smiles. Despite the several challenges, Salam said making wigs gives him as much happiness as it does for his young customers. “Children need the emotional and moral support to go through this tough illness.” He added, “Losing their hair drives them to withdraw into themselves out of fear and embarrassment. I cannot help in their treatment, but I can help them get through it.” 4．Why are a toy and candy mentioned in paragraph 1? A．To suggest the girl’s age. B．To imply a serious illness. C．To show the shortage of toys. D．To highlight the value of the wig. 5．What can be learned from the father`s words? A．Hair style matters much. B．Sports benefit Mustafa. C．Hair loss depressed Mustafa. D．Mustafa’s treatment failed. 6．What led to Salam`s decision on the mission? A．His sympathy. B．Family support. C．Govemment fund. D．Mustafa’s enthusiasm. 7．What kind of person is Salam according to the passage? A．Cautious and creative. B．Inspiring and talented. C．Caring and determined. D．Ambitious and patient. Passage 15 （湖南省怀化市2023-2024学年高一下学期期末）When Stanford University student Ellen Xu, now 18, was a five-year-old in San Diego, California, she vividly recalls her parents rushing her little sister to the hospital. Three-year-old Kate had fallen seriously ill; she had a fever, reddened eyes, a rash (皮疹) and some swelling in her hands and tongue. At first the puzzled doctors thoughts he had the flu, but when her condition didn’t improve, the Xus returned to the emergency room, where a doctor by chance had similar experience with a serious inflammatory (炎症) reaction in the blood vessels known as Kawasaki disease. Though rare, it’s the leading cause of acquired heart disease in babies and young children, and its cause remains somewhat mysterious. The doctor knew how to treat it and eventually Kate shook off the illness without suffering damage to her heart. Xu remembers being curious about her sister’s dramatic condition and was amazed that the grown-ups couldn’t answer her questions about why it was so hard to detect. “In my mind, it was this mystery,” she says. “It was a puzzle I wanted to solve. A decade later, wanting to enter a high school science fair, she had an idea: “What if we had a doctor in our pocket?” So she created just that: Using AI, Xu designed an algorithm (算法) that uses visual data to diagnose Kawasaki disease based on five physical symptoms. The technology works the same way as apps that can identify birds and plants with photos you’ve taken on your cellphone. Worried parents can upload a photo that they have taken of their child, and the technology will scan the image for symptoms of Kawasaki disease, which often have a strong visual element, such as a rash or a swollen tongue. Xu’s invention has been used as a web app on the Kawasaki Disease Foundation’s website. “The technology could also be developed for recognizing auto-immune and rheumatological diseases,” she says. “It means a lot to me. I want to use AI to help people live happier and healthier lives.” Xu says. 4．What can we learn from the first two paragraphs? A．The doctors had no difficulty recognizing Kate’s illness. B．Kate suffered from a common disease among children. C．Kawasaki disease is the only cause of acquired heart disease. D．The cause of Kawasaki disease is not quite known yet. 5．What kind of person is Ellen Xu? A．Curious and creative. B．Caring and cheerful. C．Ambitious and outgoing D．Humorous and 1g generous. 6．What is Paragraph 4 mainly talking about? A．The benefits of Xu’s algorithm B．The symptoms of Kawasaki disease. C．The worries that most parents have. D．The way Xu’s invention works. 7．What message does Ellen Xu’s story convey? A．Opportunity knocks but once. B．Curiosity can make a difference. C．Failure is the mother of success. D．God helps those who help themselves. Passage 16 (新疆兵团地州学校2023-2024学年高一下学期期末）After age and genetics (传性), being a woman is the single most important risk factor for developing Alzheimer’s disease(阿尔茨海默病),experts say, “Two out of every three brains affected by Alzheimer’s disease are women's brains," said Dr, Richard Isaacson,director of the Alzheimer's Prevention Clinic in the Center for Brain Health at Florida Atlantic University’s Schmidt College of Medicine.Now, a new study has good news when it comes to giving women a chance to reduce their increased risk, Personalized lifestyle interventions (干预)-such as diet, exercise, stress reduction and sleep hygiene were able to reduce Alzheimer’s risk factors in both sexes, but they worked even better in women. “Our individually tailored interventions led to greater improvements in women compared to men across risk scales for Alzheimer's and cardiovascular(心血管的) disease,” said Isaacson, who coauthored the paper. “Lifestyle changes such as increased exercise, improved sleep and diet, and reduced stress can impact brain health. This study clearly stresses the need for additional larger studies to be able to better predict the baseline cognitive trail in aging females versus males,” said Rudolph Tanzi, a professor of neurology at Harvard Medical School, “ As we aim to find ways to block out this disease in the early stage, we will need to know if prevention and treatment strategies will work equally on both men and women. This new study clearly brings us a big step closer to that goal, ” Tanzi added. Finding that women were able to reduce their risk even more than men is welcome news,as it provides a promising area for future study and gives hope that women can tip the battle against Alzheimer's in their favor. “By treating people in an evidence based yet safe way,using various lifestyles and medical interventions, we've shown that you can really make an impact on brain health,” he said. 8．What can we know from paragraph 1? A．Age and genetics have no impact on Alzheimer’s. B．Alzheimer’s has nothing to do with sex difference. C．Women are more likely to develop Alzheimer’s than men. D． Being a woman decreases the chance of developing Alzheimer’s. 9．What is Isaacson’s attitude towards the new research? A．Indifferent. B．Opposed. C．Ignorant. D．Positive. 10．What can affect brain health according to Tanzi? A．Lifestyle changes. B．Higher education. C．living environment D．Personal experience. 11．Where is the text likely from? A．A novel. B．A magazine. C．A brochure. D．A travel guide. Passage 17 （陕西省西安市临潼区华清中学2023-2024学年高一下学期期末）Proudly reading my words, I glanced around the room, only to find my classmates bearing big smiles on their faces and tears in their eyes. Confused, I glanced toward my stone-faced teacher. Having no choice, I slowly raised the report I had slaved over, hoping to hide myself. “What could be causing everyone to act this way?” Quickly, I flashed back to the day Miss Lancelot gave me the task. This was the first real talk I received in my new school. It seemed simple: go on the Internet and find information about a man named George Washington. Since my idea of history came from an ancient teacher in my home country, I had never heard of that name before. As I searched the name of this fellow, it became evident that there were two people bearing the same name who looked completely different! One invented hundreds of uses for peanuts, while the other led some sort of army across America. I stared at the screen, wondering which one my teacher meant. I called my grandfather for a golden piece of advice — flipping (掷) a coin. Heads-the commander, the tails-the peanuts guy. Ah! Tails, my report would be about the great man who invented peanut butter, George Washington Carver. Weeks later, standing before this unfriendly mass, I was totally lost. Oh well, I lowered the paper and sat down at my desk, burning to find out what I had done wrong. As a classmate began his report, it all became clear, “My report is on George Washington, the man who started the American Revolution.” The whole world became quiet! How could I know that she meant that George Washington? Obviously, my grade was awful. Disheartened but fearless, I decided to turn this around. I talked to Miss Lancelot, but she insisted: No new grades. I felt that the punishment was not justified, and I believed I deserved a second chance. Consequently, I devoted myself to my work for the rest of the school year. Ten months, that chance unfolded as I found myself sitting in the headmaster’s office with my grandfather, now having an entirely different conversation. I smiled and flashed back to the embarrassing moment at the beginning of the year as the headmaster informed me of my option to skip the six grade. Justice is sweet! 4．What did the author’s classmates think about his report? A．Controversial. B．Challenging. C．Ridiculous. D．Boring. 5．Why was the author confused about the task? A．He was new at the school. B．He forgot his teacher’s instruction. C．He was unfamiliar with American history. D．He followed the advice and flipped a coin. 6．In the end, the author turned things around . A．by redoing his task B．through his own efforts C．with the help of his grandfather D．under the guidance of his headmaster Passage 18 （辽宁省部分高中20232024学年高一下学期期末）David loved his grandson Philip dearly. The boy reminded him of himself at an early age. They had a lot of fun together, exploring the backyard and hiking in the nearby park. However, one weekend, Philip felt ill and had to stay in bed. David made sure to keep his grandson entertained by finding a book they could enjoy together. Before handing it to Philip, he decided to leaf through it and look back at the story. However, while looking through it, he didn’t expect to see another piece of his youth, this time in the form of a photograph of him and his old friends. There were four in the picture — David, Steve, Dorothy, and Teresa. They were neighbors and often went to the beach together. In the photo, the four of them were playing on the sand. Suddenly, David wondered about the people in the photograph, curious to know where life had taken them. Philip noticed that and asked “What happened, Grandpa?” David smiled, excitedly taking the book and the photo to Philip. “Look, Philip. This is an old photo of my friends and me!” he said. “I wish I could meet them again.” Philip suggested looking for them on Facebook. Through Philip’s tablet, they searched for David’s friends. To Philip’s surprise, they weren’t on the social media platform. David decided to go to his hometown to find Steve, Dorothy, and Teresa. The town had changed a lot and he found that Dorothy’s and Steve’s houses were no longer there. Still hopeful, David decided to visit the last address, which was Teresa’s. A young girl opened the door. “I’m sorry, young lady. I was just looking for Teresa Green, but I might have gotten the address wrong,” he said. Suddenly, the girl shouted, “Grandma, you have a visitor!” 4．Why did David find a book to enjoy with Philip? A．Because Philip was entertained most by books.

C．David and Teresa managed to contact Steve and Dorothy. D．David apologized sincerely for the trouble he had caused. Passage 19 （新疆兵团地州学校2023-2024学年高一下学期期末）I always saw myself as an honest person. The only time I’d ever lied was to protect someone’s feelings. But that wasn’t really lying. I would tell myself that it was an act of kindness! And then I had a therapy (治疗) period, when I realized that all of this was actually people-pleasing behaviour. Not only that, but according to my therapist, by continuously hiding my true feelings to protect those I loved, I was stopping them from ever getting to know the real me. I knew something had to change. So, from that moment, I promised I would never tell another lie again. It was particularly hard at the start. It would take me hours to reply to a “do you like a coffee?” text when my answer was “no”. But gradually, I realized it was not impossible. Because more often than not, I’d tell the truth when I have to stop the appointment (约定) with friends, but instead of being disappointed, they would reply, “Oh, I’m delighted that you tell the truth.” If there is any difference, by telling the truth, I was becoming closer to those I really connected with, and gently letting go of those I didn’t. Some did struggle at first because they weren’t used to my honesty. But slowly, people began to express their gratitude for my newfound honesty. I’ll never forget the first time a friend thanked me for it: “I feel so safe in our friendship because I know if I’ve upset you, you’ll just tell me!” It’s why I’m fully committed to maintaining honesty. I have no idea where it will take me, but at least I’ll always be living a life of total authenticity. My experience inspired me to write a children’s novel about a girl who couldn’t lie. I’ve dedicated (把……献给) it to my younger self, and I hope it also encourages a new generation to do what I’ve only just learned: to tell the truth. 4．The author decided to stop lying when ______. A．she received a treatment B．she became a therapist C．she made her friends happy D．she wanted to protect someone’s feelings 5．What made the author believe it is possible to tell the truth? A．Her friends’ supportive responses. B．Her unique way to tell the truth. C．Her therapist’s encouragement. D．Her trust in her friends. 6．What does the underlined word “authenticity” in paragraph 4 mean? A．Creativity. B．Humor. C．Truth. D．Greatness. 7．What does the author want the new generation to do in the last paragraph? A．Be honest people. B．Avoid unnecessary conversations. C．Write books to encourage children to be happy. D．Keep a balance between telling lies and the truth. Passage 20 （山东省潍坊青州市一中2023-2024学年高一下学期期末）“I am not crazy,” says Dr. William Farber, shortly after performing acupuncture (针灸) on a rabbit. “I am ahead of my time.” If he seems a little defensive, it might be because even some of his coworkers occasionally laugh at his unusual methods. But Farber is certain he’ll have the last laugh. He’s one of a small but growing number of American veterinarians (兽医) now practicing “holistic” medicine-combining traditional Western treatments with acupuncture, chiropractic (按摩疗法) and herbal medicine. Farber, a graduate of Colorado State University, started out as a more conventional veterinarian. He became interested in alternative treatments 20 years ago when he suffered from terrible back pain. He tried muscle-relaxing drugs but found little relief. Then he tried acupuncture, an ancient Chinese practice, and was amazed that he improved after two or three treatments. What worked on a veterinarian seemed likely to work on his patients. So, after studying the techniques for a couple of years, he began offering them to pets. Leigh Tindale’s dog Charlie had a serious heart condition. After Charlie had a heart attack, Tindale says, she was prepared to put him to sleep, but Farber’s treatments eased her dog’s suffering so much that she was able to keep him alive for an additional five months. And Priscilla Dewing reports that her horse, Nappy, “moves more easily and rides more comfortably” after a chiropractic adjustment. Farber is certain that the holistic approach will grow more popular with time, and if the past is any indication, he may be right: Since 1982, membership in the American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association has grown from 30 to over 700. “Sometimes it surprises me that it works so well,” he says. “I will do anything to help an animal. That’s my job.” 4．What do some of Farber’s coworkers think of him? A．He’s odd. B．He’s strict. C．He’s brave. D．He’s rude. 5．Why did Farber decide to try acupuncture on pets? A．He was trained in it at university. B．He was inspired by another veterinarian. C．He benefited from it as a patient. D．He wanted to save money for pet owners. 6．What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A．Steps of a chiropractic treatment. B．The complexity of veterinarians’ work. C．Examples of rare animal diseases. D．The effectiveness of holistic medicine. 7．Why does the author mention the American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association? A．To prove Farber’s point. B．To emphasize its importance. C．To praise veterinarians. D．To advocate animal protection. / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024-2025学年高一英语下学期期末考点大串讲（人教版2019） 考题猜想01阅读理解-记叙文培优专练20篇 Passage 01 （山东省烟台市2023-2024学年高一下学期期末）On a sunny morning in 2001, Jim, a skilled diver and ocean lover, was diving as usual around Palm Beach in the Bahamas when he spotted a giant tiger shark circling a few feet away. The shark, which he later named Emma, was clearly struggling in pain. Seeing Jim, Emma swam close to him seemingly quite on purpose. With great fear and curiosity, Jim checked and found a fishing hook in Emma’s mouth. Despite the obvious risks, he managed to pull the hook out, careful not to cause any further injury to the animal. Jim has since removed four other hooks from Emma’s mouth on several occasions and sometimes freed her from fishing lines or plastic bags. The two have become inseparable. Every time Jim goes into the water in the area of Palm Beach, Emma comes around and rubs her head against him as a sign of affection (喜爱). It’s not the kind of behavior most people would expect from tiger sharks, which could easily tear a person apart. “When you suddenly come across a huge shark, it seems like it might end your life,” Jim said. “What makes Emma so special is that she’s so loving and affectionate. She’s not a mindless killer but a sentient (有感情的) animal just like cats and dogs.” Emma will always recognize Jim every time he dives in her area even if he changes diving equipment. Over time, she has learned his hand signals — an invitation to get her head rubbed and Jim claims that she started acting like a playful dog who loves being petted. “What makes Emma so special is that she’s so loving and affectionate. She’s not a mindless killer but a sentient (有感情的) animal just like cats and dogs.” Jim said. “To have a connection that lasts the entire time you`re in the water is so moving and so influential. One of the best things that have happened to me is the discovery of the affectionate aspect of this tiger shark.” 4．What might be the reason why Emma approached Jim initially? A．To greet him. B．To seek assistance. C．To ask for food. D．To make friends with him. 5．What makes Emma unique according to Jim? A．Her enormous body. B．Her feeding ability. C．Her high research value. D．Her pet-like character. 6．What can we learn from the text? A．Emma can read Jim`s sign language. B．Emma has never attacked human beings. C．Jim once saved Emma from a deadly disease. D．Jim has removed four hooks from Emma`s mouth. 7．Which can be the best title for the text? A．A Diver and His Odd Friend B．An Exciting Diving Experience C．Jim: A Person Devoted to Ocean Protection D．Palm Beach: An Ideal Base for Shark Watching 【答案】4．B 5．D 6．A 7．A 【导语】本文的体裁是记叙文。文章讲述了潜水员Jim与一只名为Emma的虎鲨之间的特殊友谊。 4．推理判断题。根据文章第一段中的“Seeing Jim, Emma swam close to him seemingly quite on purpose. With great fear and curiosity, Jim checked and found a fishing hook in Emma’s mouth. (看到吉姆，艾玛似乎是故意游向他。带着极大的恐惧和好奇，吉姆检查了一下，发现艾玛嘴里叼着一个鱼钩。)”可知，Emma靠近Jim是为了寻求帮助。故选B。 5．细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“What makes Emma so special is that she’s so loving and affectionate. She’s not a mindless killer but a sentient animal just like cats and dogs. (艾玛的特别之处在于她充满爱心和深情。她不是一个没有头脑的杀手，而是像猫和狗一样有感情的动物。)”可知，Jim认为Emma的特别之处在于她像宠物一样的性格。故选D。 6．细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段“Over time, she has learned his hand signals — an invitation to get her head rubbed and Jim claims that she started acting like a playful dog who loves being petted. (随着时间的推移，她学会了他的手势——邀请她摸摸头的手势，吉姆说她开始表现得像一只喜欢被抚摸的顽皮的狗。)”可知，艾玛能读懂吉姆的手语。故选A。 7．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是由文章最后一段中的“To have a connection that lasts the entire time you`re in the water is so moving and so influential.  One of the best things that have happened to me is the discovery of the affectionate aspect of this tiger shark. (你在水里的整个时间都有一种联系，这种联系是如此感人，如此有影响力。发生在我身上的最好的事情之一就是发现了这只虎鲨深情的一面。)”可知，文章讲述了潜水员Jim和虎鲨Emma之间的特殊友谊，因此“A Diver and His Odd Friend (潜水员和他的奇怪朋友)”是最佳标题。故选A。 Passage 02 （重庆市巴蜀中学校2023-2024学年高一下学期期末）Laurence Kemball-Cook, a 30-year-old engineer and inventor, is the creator of Pavegen, a paving tile (地砖) that turns the force of people’s footsteps into clean, renewable energy. “My vision is for Pavegen to be to cities what ‘Intel inside’ is for PCs,” he says. “I want to cover every single city in the world with our tiles. I want to turn every bridge, road and building into a kinetic-energy (动能的) device.” The idea first came to him while he was studying industrial design and technology at university. He was challenged to design a strict light that’s powered by solar or by wind. “But when the sun’s not shining or when the wind’s not blowing there’s no power. So I tried for a year and I failed.” he recalled. “I was really upset. Then one day I was walking through Victoria Station in London and I thought about all the people there. I’d read that 38,000 people an hour walked through the station. What if we could use that energy as a power source?” Laurence admits, “The idea of generating energy from footsteps isn’t new and other people have tried it. But the power is so low that you can never do anything meaningful with that energy.”  Laurence took a different route. The weight of a footstep on his tile makes a horizontal flywheel inside it rotate (旋转). “The more people walk, the more this flywheel spins,” he explains. “Then we take the power from the flywheel as we need it. We can suck it out bit by bit.” At the 2013 Paris Marathon, where Pavegen installed (安装) tiles at the finish, generating 3,141,926 joules—enough to recharge 1880 mobile phones or power an electric Nissan Leaf car for 24 km. Laurence said, “Some people might define their aims as wealth or success, but for me it’s just, let’s get it out there and do good.” 4．What inspired Laurence’s idea for Pavegen? A．An experiment in the lab. B．A theory in the textbook. C．A design of a street light. D．An experience at a station. 5．What does paragraph 5 mainly focus on about Pavegen? A．Its significance. B．Its limitation. C．Its working mechanism. D．Its possible application. 6．What does the 2013 Paris Marathon suggest about the tiles? A．It gained popularity. B．It showed great promise. C．It still needed improvement. D．It was pioneering but inefficient. 7．Which of the following can best describe Laurence? A．Ambitious and creative. B．Caring and responsible. C．Brave and intelligent. D．Flexible and independent. 【答案】4．D 5．C 6．B 7．A 【导语】本文为一篇记叙文。文章讲述了青年发明家Laurence发明可发电的地砖Pavegen的故事。 4．细节理解题。根据文章第四段“ ‘I was really upset. Then one day I was walking through Victoria Station in London and I thought about all the people there. I’d read that 38,000 people an hour walked through the station. What if we could use that energy as a power source?’ (“我真的很难过。后来有一天，当我走过伦敦的维多利亚车站时，我想到了那里的所有人。我读到过每小时有38,000人经过车站。如果我们能把这种能量用作能源呢?”)”可知，Laurence在维多利亚车站的经历激发了他发明Pavegen的想法。故选D。 5．主旨大意题。根据文章第五段“Laurence admits, ‘The idea of generating energy from footsteps isn’t new and other people have tried it. But the power is so low that you can never do anything meaningful with that energy.’ Laurence took a different route. The weight of a footstep on his tile makes a horizontal flywheel inside it rotate (旋转). ‘The more people walk, the more this flywheel spins,’ he explains. ‘Then we take the power from the flywheel as we need it. We can suck it out bit by bit.’ (劳伦斯承认:“用脚步发电的想法并不新鲜，其他人已经尝试过了。但是能量是如此之低，以至于你永远无法用这种能量做任何有意义的事情。”劳伦斯走了一条不同的路。踩在他的瓷砖上的脚步的重量使其内部的水平飞轮旋转。“人们走得越多，这个飞轮就转得越多，”他解释说。“然后我们根据需要从飞轮中获取动力。我们可以一点一点地吸出来。”)”可知，第五段主要介绍了Pavegen的工作原理。故选C。 6．推理判断题。根据第六段“At the 2013 Paris Marathon, where Pavegen installed (安装) tiles at the finish, generating 3,141,926 joules—enough to recharge 1880 mobile phones or power an electric Nissan Leaf car for 24 km. (在2013年的巴黎马拉松比赛中，帕维根在终点安装了瓷砖，产生了3,141,926焦耳的能量，足以为1880部手机充电，或为一辆日产Leaf电动汽车提供24公里的动力。)”可知，Pavegen在2013年巴黎马拉松比赛中取得了巨大的成就，这显示出了它的巨大潜力。promise表示“前景”。故选B。 7．推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Laurence Kemball-Cook, a 30-year-old engineer and inventor, is the creator of Pavegen, a paving tile (地砖) that turns the force of peoples footsteps into clean, renewable energy. (30岁的工程师兼发明家劳伦斯·肯鲍尔·库克是Pavegen铺路砖的创造者，这种砖可以将人们走路的力量转化为清洁的可再生能源。)”劳伦斯是铺路砖的创造者，且人们走路的力量可以转化为清洁能源，可知，劳伦斯是有创造力的。根据文章第二段“ ‘I want to cover every single city in the world with our tiles. I want to turn every bridge, road and building into a kinetic-energy (动能的) device.’ (“我想用我们的瓷砖覆盖世界上的每一个城市。我想把每一座桥、每一条路、每一栋建筑都变成动能装置。”)”可知，劳伦斯是有雄心壮志的。故选A。 Passage 03 （云南省昭通一中教研联盟2023-2024学年高一下学期期末）It was rush hour on the morning of June 1 in the West Texas city of San Angelo. Heather Santellano, 36, was driving her white 2012 Mazda on Houston Harte Frontage Road with her nine-year-old daughter and ten-year-old son in the back. Suddenly, a red truck cut them off. Santellano turned the wheel hard to the right, sending the Mazda skidding off the road and down an embankment (路堤) that ended in a dropoff after about 50 feet. If the car didn’t stop, it would fall apart. Then a bit of luck: As the car raced toward the edge, its undercarriage (底盘) got stuck on the cement lip of the embankment ledge, stopping it. The occupants, however, were far from safe. The car had come to rest on top of a retaining wall, literally shaking on the edge of disaster. One sudden move by anyone inside could send it over. Jacob Rodriguez watched the scene unfold from the truck-accessories company where he works. An ex-soldier, he whispered a Navy language: “Ship, shipmates, self,” then he and four other men ran to the car. They leaped onto the trunk to balance the weight as the terrified kids in the back seat watched. Meanwhile, Julio Vasquez and his nephew, Marco Vasquez, were driving to their jobs at nearby Premier Automotive. Julio jumped out of the car to help while Marco went to the shop, grabbed a heavy-duty strap, and returned to the shaking car. He tethered the Mazda to an F-350 truck that had been driven over by one of the other rescuers. With the car secured, the group carefully opened the back doors and helped the children out. But their departure shifted the car’s weight, causing it to tilt (倾斜) forward. The men, still on the trunk, begged Santellano to jump into the back seat to rebalance the weight.

It has been a birthday gift for my husband for 10 years. It all began because my husband Mike hated the commercial aspects of celebrating birthday. Knowing he felt this way, I decided one year to stop buying the usual shirts, sweaters, ties and so on. I reached for something special just for Mike. The inspiration came in an unusual way. Our son Kevin, who was 12 that year, was wrestling (摔跤) at the junior level at the school he attended. There was once a match against a team called Power, sponsored (赞助) by an inner city charity. As the match began, I was surprised to see that team members of Power were wrestling without headgear, a kind of light helmet designed to protect a wrestler’s ears. It was a luxury the team obviously couldn’t afford. Well, we ended up beating them. And as each of their boys got up from the ground, he walked around with a kind of street pride that couldn’t acknowledge defeat. Mike, seated beside me, shook his head sadly, “I wish just one of them could have won,” he said. “They have a lot of potential, but losing like this could take the heart right out of them.” Mike loved kids — all kids. He understood kids in competitive situations, having coached little league football, baseball and basketball. That’s when the idea for his present suddenly occurred. That afternoon, I went to a local sporting goods store, bought varieties of wrestling headgear and shoes and sent them secretly to the inner city charity. On his birthday, I placed the envelope on the tree, the note inside telling Mike what I had done and that this was his gift from me. 4．What is the author aimed at in paragraph 1? A．Introducing the author’s husband, Mike. B．Describing the appearance of the envelope. C．Explaining the significance of the envelope. D．Bringing out the reason of seeing the envelope as a birthday gift. 5．What could we learn about the match from the text? A．The team Power lacked protective headgear. B．The author’s husband thought highly of the match. C．The author’s son Kevin was a professional wrestler. D．The team Power accepted the outcome of the match willingly. 6．How did Mike react when Power failed? A．He felt indifferent for the team’s failure. B．He thought they didn’t have the ability to win. C．He admired their street pride despite the defeat. D．He believed it would discourage the boys’ spirit. 7．What does the “envelope” symbolize? A．The author’s dissatisfaction with traditional birthday gifts. B．The author’s love and thoughtfulness towards her husband. C．The author’s desire to keep the gift hidden until the last moment. D．The author’s attempt to remind her husband of his coaching days. 【答案】4．D 5．A 6．D 7．B 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者把信封作为给丈夫的一份生日礼物，这个源自于她丈夫不喜欢商业化的生日礼物而独自去购买体育器材送给需要的孩子。 4．推理判断题。根据第一段“The envelope lies among the branches of the tree on the balcony. It has been a birthday gift for my husband for 10 years. It all began because my husband Mike hated the commercial aspects of celebrating birthday. Knowing he felt this way, I decided one year to stop buying the usual shirts, sweaters, ties and so on. I reached for something special just for Mike. The inspiration came in an unusual way.(信封躺在阳台上的树枝间。10年来，它一直是我丈夫的生日礼物。这一切都始于我丈夫迈克讨厌庆祝生日的商业方面。知道他是这样想的，有一年我决定不再买平常的衬衫、毛衣、领带等。我为迈克准备了特别的礼物。灵感以一种不同寻常的方式出现)”可知，第1段的目的是引出将信封视为生日礼物的原因。故选D。 5．细节理解题。根据第三段“As the match began, I was surprised to see that team members of Power were wrestling without headgear, a kind of light helmet designed to protect a wrestler’s ears. It was a luxury the team obviously couldn’t afford.(比赛开始时，我惊讶地发现，Power队的队员们摔跤时没有戴头盔，那是一种用来保护摔跤手耳朵的轻型头盔。这显然是球队无法承受的奢侈)”可知，Power队缺少防护帽。故选A。 6．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Mike, seated beside me, shook his head sadly, “I wish just one of them could have won,” he said. “They have a lot of potential, but losing like this could take the heart right out of them.”(坐在我旁边的迈克悲伤地摇着头说：“我真希望他们中有一个能赢。他们有很大的潜力，但这样的输球可能会让他们失去信心。”)”可知，Power失败后，迈克认为这会打击孩子们的精神。故选D。 7．推理判断题。根据最后一段“That afternoon, I went to a local sporting goods store, bought varieties of wrestling headgear and shoes and sent them secretly to the inner city charity. On his birthday, I placed the envelope on the tree, the note inside telling Mike what I had done and that this was his gift from me.(那天下午，我去了当地的一家体育用品店，买了各种摔跤头盔和鞋子，偷偷地寄给了内城的慈善机构。在他生日那天，我把信封挂在圣诞树上，里面的纸条告诉迈克我做了什么，这是我送给他的礼物)”结合文章讲述了作者把信封作为给作者丈夫的一份生日礼物，这个源自于她丈夫不喜欢商业化的生日礼物而独自去购买体育器材送给需要的孩子。可知，“信封”象征着作者对丈夫的爱和体贴。故选B。 Passage 05 （山西省晋中市一中2024-2025学年高一下学期3月月考）Cathy Brennan calmly paddled her bright yellow kayak (皮艇) down the Potomac River,continuing her voyage, the latest of her solo trips on major waterways. It was tough, but it allowed Brennan to let go of everything else, empty her brain of the everyday chores and focus on the present. “I’m in the moment, looking at the waves,” said Brennan.The journey is a minimalist style: a sleeping bag,a small tent, a rain jacket, a change of clothes, a first aid hit, apples and cheese sticks. “I always drink the river,” she says. Brennan loves being on the rivers, seeing the eagles above, deer on the banks and a fascinating bunch of bugs and insects that never find their way into homes. However, every few days Brennan will find a hotel for the night where she can get a shower and at a chceseburger. She’ll also check in with her husband John, who has helped her select the river and research the trips at their home. “He’s my virtual Sherpa with benefits,”Brennan says, laughing. She has a phone with her but seldom calls or texts anyone. Her children usually keep track of her via the transponder (应答器) that sends them her location every 10 minutes or so. Brennan knows that solo kayaking is not for everyone and she’s not reckless. When going through rapids (急流), she watches the weather in advance. She is careful about where she camps and who is around her. She has packed up her equipment and headed back out on the river when she has felt unsafe. She is alone on these journeys but she isn’t lonely. She suggested that we all need some disconnection from the wired world to find the wider world around us. 4．What can be inferred from Paragraph 1? A．She seeks inner peace. B．She looks forward to the future. C．She longs for travelling. D．She enjoys everyday housework. 5．What do we know about Brennan’s husband? A．He keeps track of her. B．He plans the route for her. C．He travels with her on the river. D．He contacts her via calls and texts. 6．What does the underlined word“reckless” in Paragraph 4 mean? A．Fearless. B．Generous. C．Brave. D．Thoughtless. 7．How is Brennan’s kayak trip according to the passage? A．Lonely but interesting. B．Difficult and boring. C．Tough but worthwhile. D．Dangerous and expensive. 【答案】4．A 5．B 6．D 7．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。本文主要讲述了Cathy Brennan独自划皮艇在Potomac河上进行探险旅行的故事。她认为独自划皮艇并不适合每个人，自己也十分谨慎，并建议人们偶尔远离数字世界，去发现更广阔的自然世界。 4．推理判断题。根据文章第一段中的“It was tough, but it allowed Brennan to let go of everything else, empty her brain of the everyday chores and focus on the present. (虽然旅途艰难，但这让Brennan能够放下其他一切，清空大脑中日常的琐事，专注于当下。)”以及“Brennan loves being on the rivers, seeing the eagles above, deer on the banks and a fascinating bunch of bugs and insects that never find their way into homes.( Brennan喜欢呆在河上，看天上的鹰，岸上的鹿，还有一群迷人的虫子和昆虫，它们永远找不到回家的路。)”可知，Brennan选择独自划皮艇在河流上旅行，是为了摆脱日常生活的纷扰，专注于眼前的风景和感受即通过这次旅行寻求内心的平静。故选A。 5．细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“She’ll also check in with her husband John, who has helped her select the river and research the trips at their home. (她还会和丈夫John联系，他帮她选择了河流，并在家里研究了旅行。)”可知，Brennan的丈夫为她规划了旅行路线。故选B。 6．词义猜测题。根据文章第四段中的“Brennan knows that solo kayaking is not for everyone and she’s not reckless. When going through rapids (急流), she watches the weather in advance. (Brennan知道独自划皮艇并不适合每个人，而且她并不……。在穿越急流时，她会提前观察天气。)”可知，Brennan在独自划皮艇时特别是在面对急流时会提前观察天气，由此表现出谨慎的态度，。因此，可以推断出“reckless”在此处的意思是“鲁莽的、轻率的、不考虑后果的”，文中使用的是否定句，表示她并不鲁莽。选项D“Thoughtless.(轻率的、不考虑后果的)”与划线词为同义词。故选D。 7．推理判断题。根据文章第一段中的“It was tough, but it allowed Brennan to let go of everything else, empty her brain of the everyday chores and focus on the present. (虽然旅途艰难，但这让Brennan能够放下其他一切，清空大脑中日常的琐事，专注于当下。)”以及最后一段中的“She is alone on these journeys but she isn’t lonely. She suggested that we all need some disconnection from the wired world to find the wider world around us. (在这些旅程中，她是孤独的，但她并不感到寂寞。她建议我们都需要暂时断开与数字世界的联系，去发现我们周围更广阔的世界。)”可知，Brennan认为这次皮艇旅行虽艰难但很有价值，能够让她专注于当下并发现更广阔的世界。因此，C选项“Tough but worthwhile.(艰难但值得)”符合题意。故选C。 Passage 06 （辽宁省葫芦岛市2023-2024学年高一下学期期末）Deanna Stellato-Dudek retired in 2001 because of injuries. But this week, she achieved the unthinkable. With her partner Maxime Deschamps, the 40-year-old former retiree defeated athletes less than half her age and became the oldest woman to win a World Figure Skating Championship. Even more remarkable, she did it in the pairs event, in which the top women are thrown across the ice, lifted over their partners’ heads with one arm, and tossed (抛) more than 10 feet in the air. Stellato-Dudek had an impressive junior career as a singles skater, winning the 1999-2000 International Junior Grand Prix Final and receiving the silver medal at the 2000 World Junior Championships. However, by 2001, a few significant injuries led to her decision to retire at age 17. For the next 16 years, Stellato-Dudek lived a relatively normal adulthood. She became a successful aesthetician (美学家) and got married. She was no longer attempting risky triple (转体三周的) jumps on international ice. But the feelings of unfinished business kept disturbing her — whether she had quit the sport too early and whether she had more to achieve in skating. So she tried on her old skates and attempted the impossible — learning how to become a pairs skater in her 30s and returning to competitive ice. Her efforts paid off, and now Stellato-Dudek and her partner are unlikely world champions at ages 40 and 32. Stellato-Dudek said she hoped the historic victory inspired everyone, even non-skaters, who might think it was too late to pursue and achieve their goals. “I hope it encourages people not to stop before they reach their potential,” she told reporters after winning the title Thursday night. Stellato-Dudek is not done. Her next major goal is to compete in the 2026 Winter Olympics at age 42. “She is a fighter,” her partner said. “For her, it’s the Olympics every day. ” 4．What do we know about Stellato-Dudek from paragraph 1? A．She entered the competition alone. B．She was younger than her competitors. C．She returned to skating because she lost her job. D．She won the championship in pairs skating. 5．What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us about Stellato-Dudek? A．Her past achievements. B．Her career plans. C．The challenges she met. D．The training she went through. 6．What did Stellato-Dudek do after her retirement? A．She worked as a coach. B．She got married. C．She threw away her old skates. D．She kept trying risky triple jumps. 7．Which word can best describe Stellato-Dudek? A．Wise and sympathetic. B．Ambitious and determined. C．Creative and generous. D．Considerate and cautious. 【答案】4．D 5．A 6．B 7．B 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Deanna Stellato-Dudek 赢得世界花样滑冰锦标赛双人滑项目冠军的故事。 4．细节理解题。根据第一段“Deanna Stellato-Dudek retired in 2001 because of injuries.

Her parents stop and take her out of the back seat. They ask her to take off her shoes and roll up her jeans to help them gather it. It is the beginning of the story in Watercress, a picture book written by Andrea Wang. The story is based on her childhood. “My parents actually spotted watercress growing by the side of the road in Ohio where I grew up,” Wang says. “And I was horribly embarrassed to get out and gather the watercress from the dirty water. It really made me aware of how different I was from my friends. But for my parents, it brought back memories of their home country and it was a connection to their homeland that they had left behind.” The feeling of being ashamed of our parents is universal. We’ve probably all experienced that at some point. “I remember walking 20 feet behind my parents when we were walking down the street, pretending that I didn’t belong to them,” Wang laughs. The pictures in Watercress have drawn inspiration from Chinese landscape paintings, which often have mountains covered in clouds. “It always has felt dreamlike to me when I look at those paintings. And I thought it would be nice to bring it into my book because of its theme of memory,” Wang explains. Unlike the little girl in the story, Andrea Wang didn’t hear any story about her parents’ childhoods until she was an adult. “My parents were trying to protect me, by not telling me the hardships they went through,” Wang says. But as a kid, Wang remembers feeling disconnected from her history. “I think it’s really important for families to share what they can,” Wang says. “So that kids know that history and can feel a sense of pride in their culture.” 8．How did Andrea Wang feel when she was told to gather watercress? A．Excited. B．Curious. C．Scared. D．Ashamed. 9．What does the word “universal” underlined in paragraph 3 mean? A．Making sb feel a little bit angry. B．Being true at all times and in all places. C．Needing skill to do or understand. D．Being related to a particular group or society. 10．What does Andrea Wang say about Chinese landscape paintings? A．They are boring. B．They are difficult. C．They are beautiful. D．They are expensive. 11．What does Andrea Wang suggest parents do? A．Avoid talking about hardships. B．Explain whatever they went through. C．Tell their kids to be proud of their culture. D．Share some of their experiences with their kids. 【答案】8．D 9．B 10．C 11．D 【导语】本文为一篇记叙文。文章主要通过自己的经历讲述，建议家长应该要与孩子分享他们的经历，从而让孩子们了解历史，有民族自豪感。 8．推理判断题。根据文章第二段“And I was horribly embarrassed to get out and gather the watercress from the dirty water. It really made me aware of how different I was from my friends.(我十分尴尬地下车，从脏水里采水田芥。这让我知道我与朋友有多不一样。)”可知，当Andrea Wang被要求去采水田芥时，她感到很尴尬，感觉自己与其他朋友不一样，需要在脏水里采水田芥，故感到很羞愧，故选D。 9．词义猜测题。根据文章第三段划线词universal后的内容“We’ve probably all experienced that at some point.(我们可能在某个时刻有过这种经历。)”可知，后文提到我们每个人都经历过这种事情，故此处划线词universal意为“普遍存在的”，我们对父母感到羞愧是普遍存在的，都经历过的，故D项“在所有的时间和地点都是真实的存在”是对划线词的解释，故选B。 10．细节理解题。根据文章第四段““It always has felt dreamlike to me when I look at those paintings. And I thought it would be nice to bring it into my book because of its theme of memory,” Wang explains.( Wang解释道：“当我看到这些画时，这对我来说，像是做梦一样，把它放进我的书里是很不错的，因为它回忆的主题。”)”可知，Wang认为中国山水画就像是梦境一般，很美，故选C。 11．推理判断题。根据文章最后一段““I think it’s really important for families to share what they can,” Wang says. “So that kids know that history and can feel a sense of pride in their culture.”(Wang说：“我认为家人一起分享他们能分享的东西真的很重要，这样的话，孩子就能了解历史，能体会文化的自豪感。”)”可知，建议父母与孩子分享他们的经历，这样的话能培养孩子的文化自豪感，故选D。 Passage 08 （吉林省“BEST合作体”2023-2024学年高一下学期期末）In his senior year of high school, Wei Fangjie happened to see a poster for recruiting PLA Air Force pilots. “The pilots on the poster looked really cool, and I got to know that a pilot is known as a profession of the brave. So, I decided to give it a try,” said Wei, 26, who now works as a flight instructor at the Air Force Aviation University. In 2015, Wei was admitted into the Air Force Aviation University and became an Air Force pilot student. According to Wei, pilots need to not only study aviation theory but also practice difficult aerobatics (飞行特技) like rolls and loops. These moves require strong resistance to g-forces. “To do a loop, a pilot has to bear about 3g of load, which feels like three times their body weight pressing down on them,” said Wei. To build this resistance, they often do strength training like weighted squats. They also use special equipment like a spinning ladder (旋梯) to overcome dizziness. Despite all the training, becoming a top PLA Air Force pilot remains a tough job. “During flight, pilots must carefully decide how to land, especially at night, and maintain position during formation flight,” explained Wei. He added that the key to these skills lies in continuous practice. In the world of aviation, a balanced mindset and quick thinking are very important. One of Wei’s most unforgettable experiences was dealing with illusions (错觉) during a formation fight up above the clouds. All he could see in front of him was the lead aircraft and clouds. “I felt like I was turning all the time, but my instruments showed that my flight was level,” said Wei. “In such situations, trusting instruments is key to making sound decisions.” But what always remains constant is the great sense of freedom and pride that Wei feels as he flies his aircraft in the sky and looks down at Earth from above. Now, as an experienced flight instructor, Wei hopes to channel his passion for aviation into the “training and development of a new generation of skilled pilots so as to contribute to the PLA Air Force’s combat readiness.” 24．What inspired Wei Fangjie to pursue a career as a pilot? A．Meeting a flight instructor at school. B．His deep interest in aviation technology. C．Advice from a high school career advisor. D．Seeing a poster wanting PLA Air Force pilots. 25．How do pilots develop resistance to g-forces? A．By practicing aerobatics. B．By getting rid of dizziness. C．By flying with a spinning ladder. D．By doing strength-building exercises. 26．What is the key to mastering flying skills, according to Wei? A．Quick thinking. B．Frequent training. C．A balanced mindset. D．Overcoming illusions. 27．What is Wei’s current goal as a fight instructor? A．Training a new generation of skilled pilots. B．Flying his aircraft with a sense of freedom. C．Encouraging more young people to become pilots. D．Contributing to the development of aviation theory. 【答案】24．D 25．D 26．B 27．A 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了Wei Fangjie通过不懈的努力和训练，成长为一名经验丰富的中国人民解放军空军飞行员的故事。 24．细节理解题。根据第一段“In his senior year of high school, Wei Fangjie happened to see a poster for recruiting PLA Air Force pilots. “The pilots on the poster looked really cool, and I got to know that a pilot is known as a profession of the brave. So, I decided to give it a try,” said Wei(在高三的时候，Wei Fangjie偶然看到了一张招募空军飞行员的海报。Wei说：“海报上的飞行员看起来真的很酷，我知道飞行员是一种勇敢的职业。所以，我决定试一试。”)”可知，激励Wei Fangjie成为飞行员的是他看到了一张招聘中国人民解放军飞行员的海报。故选D。 25．细节理解题。根据第二段“To build this resistance, they often do strength training like weighted squats.(为了增强这种抵抗力，他们经常做力量训练，比如负重深蹲。)”可知，飞行员通过力量训练来增强对重力的抵抗力。故选D。 26．细节理解题。根据第三段“He added that the key to these skills lies in continuous practice.(他补充说，这些技能的关键在于不断的练习。)”可知，Wei Fangjie认为掌握飞行技能的关键是不断的训练。故选B。 27．细节理解题。根据最后一段“Now, as an experienced flight instructor, Wei hopes to channel his passion for aviation into the “training and development of a new generation of skilled pilots so as to contribute to the PLA Air Force’s combat readiness.”(作为一名经验丰富的飞行教练，Wei希望将他对航空的热情投入到“培养和发展新一代熟练飞行员，为中国空军的战备做出贡献”中去。)”可知，Wei Fangjie当前的目标是培养新一代的熟练飞行员。故选A。 Passage 09 （黑龙江省哈尔滨师范大学青冈实中2023-2024学年高一下学期期末）On The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, there is a group of people regularly moving through the snowy mountains, lakes and pastures (牧场). They are doing one thing: picking up rubbish. They are from the “Beautiful Travel”, an organization founded by Shi Ning. In 2014, when he traveled alone from Dali to Lhasa, seeing amounts of garbage along the road, he became shocked. Later, Shi Ning and his two companions discussed possible solutions to environmental problems. In 2015, they launched a series of campaigns, starting from picking up trash along the highway in Xizang areas. Since then, more than 45 tons of deserted plastic bottles have been recycled thanks to the “Beautiful Travel“. If you pile these plastic bottles up, they would be about 25 times as high as Qomolangma. However, it is difficult for garbage transporters (运输车) to run at high altitudes during rainy and snowy days, with the closure (关闭) of roads. They established rubbish pickup sites with the local government. Volunteers go to villages, towns and mountainous areas to collect garbage and when the garbage is piled up to 500 kg, vehicles are sent to collect it. They also call on tourists and local residents to stop littering (乱扔垃圾) to protect local biodiversity. The campaign involves about 30,000 tourists all the way. Volunteers sort out 20% recyclable garbage and recycle it according to the local price. The remaining 80% of non-recyclable garbage will be handed over by volunteers and staffs to the municipal (市政的) waste removal department for further recycling. The T-shirts worn by the volunteers were made using recycled materials from the trash.

But Marielle didn’t want these presents for herself. She wanted to give them to other people. At school, Marielle’s teacher taught, “You can’t always be self-centered. You have to be other-centered.” Marielle’s class had helped collect supplies for a school in Nigeria. But Marielle wanted to do more. With help from her parents, Marielle researched local charities and found a shelter that helps women and children in need. After finding out what supplies the shelter needed, Marielle included a list with each party invitation. Her friends brought shelter supplies instead of birthday presents to Marielle’s party. People who couldn’t come to her party still gave gifts, as did her school. She had so many gifts that they filled her family’s truck! “It was like we were going on vacation,” Marielle said with a smile. “I couldn’t even put my bag in there.” She said it was fun to watch the number of donations (捐赠物) grow. In the end, she collected $650 in cash donations and more than $1,000 worth of supplies for the shelter. When Marielle went with her parents to drop off the supplies, people at the shelter surprised her with another birthday party. They had made her a cake and gave her a card signed by everyone at the shelter.

J. Ware was made to feel this way almost every day in school. By high school, T. J. was the most celebrated troublemaker in his town. He was always impolite, didn’t answer questions and got into lots of fights. I met T. J. for the first time at a weekend leadership program. At the start of the program, T. J. was literally standing outside the circle of students with that “go ahead, impress me” look on his face. The ice really melted (融化) when the groups started building a list of positive and negative things that occurred at school that year. T. J. had brilliant thoughts on those situations. The other students in T. J.’s group welcomed his comments. All of a sudden T. J. felt like a part of the group, and before long he was being treated like a leader. The next following days, T. J. was very active in all the sessions. Later he joined the Homeless Project team. He knew something about poverty, hunger and hopelessness. The other students on the team were impressed with his passionate concern and ideas. By the end of the program, the students elected T. J. co-chairman of the team. Many people couldn’t believe that the principal (校长) would allow this crucial beginning to a three-year action plan to stay in the incapable hands of T. J. Ware. Two weeks later, T. J. and his friends led a group of 70 students in a drive to collect food. They collected a school record: 2, 854 cans of food in just two hours. As the local newspaper covered the event with a full-page article, T. J. started showing up at school every day and answered questions from teachers for the first time. Later, he led a second project, yielding 9,000 cans of food in one day and taking care of 70 percent of the needed food for the homeless shelter for one year. T. J. reminds us that a bird with a broken wing only needs mending. But once it has healed, it can fly higher than the rest. T. J. got a job. He became productive. He is flying quite nicely these days. 24．At first, what was T. J. known for in the town? A．Misbehavior and rudeness. B．Popularity in his group. C．Poor academic performance. D．Activeness in class discussion. 25．What changed T. J.’s attitude towards the program? A．Getting support from the principal. B．Joining the Homeless Project team. C．Being the co-chairman of the team. D．Gaining group members’ recognition. 26．What can be learnt from the story? A．Like teacher, like pupil. B．Never fish in troubled water. C．Do not judge a book by its cover. D．Birds of a feather flock together. 【答案】24．A 25．D 26．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了曾经的问题少年T.J. Ware在一次领导力培训中发生改变，发挥领导才能，最终带领团队创纪录地募集食物，证明了给予机会和支持能让人展现出惊人的潜力和积极改变。 24．细节理解题。根据第一段“By high school, T. J. was the most celebrated troublemaker in his town. He was always impolite, didn’t answer questions and got into lots of fights.(到高中时，T.J.已经是镇上最著名的捣蛋鬼了。他总是不礼貌，不回答问题，还经常打架)”可知，起初，T. J.在镇上总是不礼貌，不回答问题，还经常打架，以行为不端和粗鲁无礼而出名。故选A项。 25．细节理解题。根据第二段“The ice really melted (融化) when the groups started building a list of positive and negative things that occurred at school that year. T. J. had brilliant thoughts on those situations. The other students in T. J.’s group welcomed his comments. All of a sudden T. J. felt like a part of the group, and before long he was being treated like a leader.(当这些小组开始列出当年在学校发生的积极和消极的事情时，冰真地融化了。T.J.对这些情况有很好的想法。T.J.小组的其他学生对他的评论表示欢迎。突然间，T.J.觉得自己是团队的一员，不久之后，他就被当作领导者对待了)”可知，当小组的其他成员欢迎他的评论时，T. J. 感觉自己成为团队的一员，即获得小组成员的认可使得T. J.对项目的态度发生转变。故选D项。 26．推理判断题。根据第一段““A bird with a broken wing will never fly as high.” I’m sure that T. J. Ware was made to feel this way almost every day in school. By high school, T. J. was the most celebrated troublemaker in his town. He was always impolite, didn’t answer questions and got into lots of fights.(“折断翅膀的鸟永远不会飞得那么高。”我敢肯定，T.J.Ware在学校里几乎每天都有这种感觉。到高中时，T.J.已经是镇上最著名的捣蛋鬼了。他总是不礼貌，不回答问题，还经常打架)”、最后一段“T. J. reminds us that a bird with a broken wing only needs mending. But once it has healed, it can fly higher than the rest. T. J. got a job. He became productive.(T.J.提醒我们，折断翅膀的鸟只需要修理。但一旦它痊愈了，它就能飞得比其他动物高。T.J.找到了一份工作。他变得富有成效)”以及文章内容可知，起初，T. J.被视为问题学生，但通过领导力项目，他展现了自己的潜力和能力，最终做出了显著的贡献，T. J.的故事告诉我们不要仅凭外表或表面行为来评判一个人，这体现了“不要以貌取人”的道理。故选C项。 Passage 12 （安徽省马鞍山市2023~2024学年高一下学期期末）Phan Thi Kim Chi’s connection with Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) began at an early age. Growing up in a small village in Vietnam, it was inconvenient for Phan to travel to hospitals in neighboring cities. Whenever she caught a cold or experienced a headache as a child, her family would seek the help of a local TCM practitioner. This led her to major in TCM at a traditional medical school in China. According to Phan, even though TCM has long been commonly practiced and accepted in Vietnam, finding a good school to learn TCM in Vietnam is not easy. As a foreign student, Phan finds the TCM basic theory course to be the most challenging one in the courses. Being widespread and far-reaching, TCM is deeply connected with Chinese philosophy. It requires years of learning and practice to truly understand the concepts of yin and yang, harmony between human and nature, and the five elements of wood, fire, earth, metal, and water. Sometimes she even translates the TCM vocabulary and scripts into Vietnamese so she can remember and understand them better. Overseas students of TCM, like Phan, are not rare. According to a report, the total number of international students studying TCM in China was 8, 187 last year, with the largest population of 6,441 coming from Asian countries, followed by 832 from Africa and 432 from Europe. Also, many Chinese medical universities had projects that sent professors overseas to teach TCM. The fast- developing situation of TCM is not limited to schools and clinics. It has also become a lifestyle choice for many young people. 4．Which of the following best explains “practitioner” underlined in Paragraph 1? A．Visitor. B．Officer. C．Student. D．Doctor. 5．How did Phan Thi Kim Chi find the TCM basic theory course? A．Tough. B．Inspiring. C．Confusing. D．Common. 6．Why are there many numbers mentioned in Paragraph 3? A．To attract more students. B．To prove the popularity of TCM. C．To show the difficulties of promoting TCM. D．To explain causes of students choosing TCM. 7．What is the best title for the text? A．The Development of TCM B．Global Rise of TCM C．Promising Future of TCM D．The Hidden Power of TCM 【答案】4．D 5．A 6．B 7．B 【导语】本文是记叙文。这篇文章讲述了Phan Thi Kim Chi与传统中医（TCM）之间的联系，从她小时候在越南村庄的经历，到后来在中国学习中医的挑战，再到国际学生学习中医的概况，以及中医在全球的快速发展。 4．词句猜测题。根据前文“Whenever she caught a cold or experienced a headache as a child(每当她小时候感冒或头痛时)”可知，生病了应是向医生求助，推知practitioner应是“医生”之意，和D项意思相近。故选D项。 5．细节理解题。根据第二段“As a foreign student, Phan finds the TCM basic theory course to be the most challenging one in the courses. Being widespread and far-reaching, TCM is deeply connected with Chinese philosophy. It requires years of learning and practice to truly understand the concepts of yin and yang, harmony between human and nature, and the five elements of wood, fire, earth, metal, and water. Sometimes she even translates the TCM vocabulary and scripts into Vietnamese so she can remember and understand them better.(作为一名外国留学生，Phan认为中医基础理论课是课程中最具挑战性的一门。中医博大精深，与中国哲学有着千丝万缕的联系。它需要多年的学习和实践才能真正理解阴阳、人与自然的和谐以及木、火、土、金、水五行的概念。有时她甚至把中医词汇和脚本翻译成越南语，这样她就能更好地记住和理解它们)”可知，Phan认为中医基础理论课是课程中最具挑战性的一门，所以是困难的。故选A项。 6．推理判断题。根据第三段“Overseas students of TCM, like Phan, are not rare. According to a report, the total number of international students studying TCM in China was 8, 187 last year, with the largest population of 6,441 coming from Asian countries, followed by 832 from Africa and 432 from Europe. Also, many Chinese medical universities had projects that sent professors overseas to teach TCM.(像Phan这样的中医留学生并不少见。根据一份报告，去年在中国学习中医的国际学生总数为8187人，其中来自亚洲国家的人数最多，为6441人，其次是来自非洲的832人和来自欧洲的432人。此外，许多中国医科大学都有派遣教授到海外教授中医的项目)”可知，本段提到很多数字是为了证明中医的普及。故选B项。 7．主旨大意题。根据倒数第二段“According to a report, the total number of international students studying TCM in China was 8, 187 last year, with the largest population of 6,441 coming from Asian countries, followed by 832 from Africa and 432 from Europe. Also, many Chinese medical universities had projects that sent professors overseas to teach TCM.(根据一份报告，去年在中国学习中医的国际学生总数为8187人，其中来自亚洲国家的人数最多，为6441人，其次是来自非洲的832人和来自欧洲的432人。此外，许多中国医科大学都有派遣教授到海外教授中医的项目)”和最后一段“The fast- developing situation of TCM is not limited to schools and clinics. It has also become a lifestyle choice for many young people.(中医的快速发展态势不仅限于学校和诊所。它也成为许多年轻人的一种生活方式选择)”以及通读全文可知，本文主要讲述了中医在全球的快速发展，所以B项“Global Rise of TCM(中医药在全球崛起)”是本文最好的标题。故选B项。 Passage 13 （江苏省常州市2023-2024学年高一下英语期末）In late spring and early summer each year, tens of millions of butterflies come out of their chrysalises (蚕蛹) in the butterfly valley in southwest China’s Yunnan province. For butterfly expert Yang Zhenwen, it is the busiest time of the year, but he greets it with great enthusiasm. Before the break of dawn, Yang has already arrived at the observation point, busily tending to the needs of the awakening butterflies. “Due to warmer temperatures, the ‘butterfly explosion’ this year occurred slightly earlier than usual, and the size of the butterflies is larger than that in previous years,” said 46-year-old Yang, curator (馆长) of the butterfly valley museum. “We expect that there will be about 80 million to 100 million butterflies in the valley during this year’s ‘butterfly explosion’. That seems so crazy,” said Yang. According to Yang, in the valley, more than 320 butterfly species have been identified in specimens or photographs, including the rarest, most primitive, largest and smallest butterflies in China. Besides Yang, many local villages have also assumed the role of butterfly guardians. However, the journey toward achieving human-butterfly harmony was far from easy. Some two decades ago, the villagers had little awareness of butterfly protection, believing wrongly that butterflies could endanger their food crops. They viewed them as pests that should be removed. In 1998, Yang began his journey at the agricultural science station in Ma’an’di Township, the very place where the butterfly valley lies. “It was there that I got into a frequent dilemma— the local villagers, seeking to protect their crops, would often turn to pesticides to kill the butterflies,” he said. “However, my sincere love for these creatures forced me to prevent them from harming the delicate insects.” Now, the development of ecotourism relying on butterfly resources has successfully changed the once extremely poor township. More villagers have started reproducing butterflies. He describes the butterfly valley as a “dream-making machine”, which extends the “butterfly dream” of harmonious coexistence between humans and nature. 24．What made Yang’s aim to reach human-butterfly harmony hard in the beginning? A．Warm temperatures in local villages. B．The number and size of the butterflies. C．Improper location of the butterfly valley. D．Lack of awareness of butterfly protection. 25．What does the underlined word “dilemma” in paragraph 4 mean? A．A choice difficult to make. B．A fact easy to understand. C．A duty hard to carry out. D．A situation smooth to deal with. 26．Which of the following best describe Yang Zhenwen? A．Honest and professional. B．Humorous and creative. C．Hard-working and strong-willed. D．Generous and easy-going. 27．Which can be a suitable title for the passage? A．Changing the Poor State of a Town B．Volunteering as a Butterfly Guardian C．Helping Butterflies Spread Their Wings D．Developing a Relationship with the Locals 【答案】24．D 25．A 26．C 27．C 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了蝴蝶专家杨振文多年来致力于保护蝴蝶，描述了他为蝴蝶的保护工作付出的努力。 24．细节理解题。根据第三段“Some two decades ago, the villagers had little awareness of butterfly protection, believing wrongly that butterflies could endanger their food crops. They viewed them as pests that should be removed. (大约20年前，村民们对蝴蝶保护知之甚少，错误地认为蝴蝶会危害他们的粮食作物。他们认为它们是应该消灭的害虫)”可知，缺乏保护蝴蝶的意识让杨想要达成人与蝴蝶和谐的目标在一开始变得困难。故选D。 25．词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“the local villagers, seeking to protect their crops, would often turn to pesticides to kill the butterflies”以及“However, my sincere love for these creatures forced me to prevent them from harming the delicate insects”可知，一方面当地村民为了保护自己的庄稼，经常使用杀虫剂来杀死蝴蝶，另一方面杨振文对这些生物真挚的爱迫使他阻止他们伤害这些脆弱的昆虫。即他面临一个很难做出的选择。故划线词意思是“一个很难做出的选择”。故选A。 26．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“In 1998, Yang began his journey at the agricultural science station in Ma’an’di Township, the very place where the butterfly valley lies.( 1998年，杨在蝴蝶谷所在的马安地乡农业科学站开始了他的旅程)”以及最后一段“Now, the development of ecotourism relying on butterfly resources has successfully changed the once extremely poor township. More villagers have started reproducing butterflies. He describes the butterfly valley as a “dream-making machine”, which extends the “butterfly dream” of harmonious coexistence between humans and nature.(如今，依托蝴蝶资源开发生态旅游，成功地改变了这个曾经极度贫困的小镇。越来越多的村民开始繁殖蝴蝶。他将蝴蝶谷描述为“造梦机器”，延伸了人与自然和谐共处的“蝴蝶梦)”可推知，杨振文工作努力，意志坚强。故选C。 27．主旨大意题。根据第一段“In late spring and early summer each year, tens of millions of butterflies come out of their chrysalises (蚕蛹) in the butterfly valley in southwest China’s Yunnan province. For butterfly expert Yang Zhenwen, it is the busiest time of the year, but he greets it with great enthusiasm.(每年春末夏初，在中国西南部云南省的蝴蝶谷，数以千万计的蝴蝶从蛹中出来。对于蝴蝶专家杨振文来说，这是一年中最忙的时候，但他却以极大的热情迎接它)”结合文章主要介绍了蝴蝶专家杨振文多年来致力于保护蝴蝶，描述了他为蝴蝶的保护工作付出的努力。可知，C选项“帮助蝴蝶展翅”最符合文章标题。故选C。 Passage 14 （重庆市西南大学附中2023-2024学年高一下学期期末）Five-year-old Mustafa is smiling for the first time in ages. She did not receive a new toy or her favorite candy; rather, she got a wig (假发). Mustafa had to go through painful procedures after being diagnosed (诊断) with cancer at an early age. Her father expressed her sadness when she lost her hair after months of chemotherapy (化疗). “She saw children of her age jumping in playgrounds and spending hours styling their hair, while she couldn’t. Losing her hair made her hopeless, negatively impacting her response to treatment,” the girl’s father said. Coming from a less fortunate family, Mustafa now sits in a humble hairdresser’s in Cairo, sliding her fingers through her new long hair as she looks in the mirror with fresh enthusiasm. Behind that smile and renewed confidence is Salam, from Egypt, who has been personally funding and designing free wigs for children with cancer to give them power to defeat their illness. Salam took up his mission when he saw a viral video on social media of a young cancer patient who was excited at receiving a new wig. It was the moment when he decided to provide free wigs to children with cancer to lift up their spirits. “Many families can barely afford expensive cancer treatment costs, let alone costly cosmetic (美容) services that can play a huge role in restoring children`s confidence and giving them strength to continue their treatment,” said Salam. As part of the self-funded initiative, Salam purchases the necessary requirements to make a wig, while his father helps design hairstyles to serve different children. So far, Salam has helped over 15 children walk out of his shop empowered with big smiles. Despite the several challenges, Salam said making wigs gives him as much happiness as it does for his young customers. “Children need the emotional and moral support to go through this tough illness.” He added, “Losing their hair drives them to withdraw into themselves out of fear and embarrassment. I cannot help in their treatment, but I can help them get through it.” 4．Why are a toy and candy mentioned in paragraph 1? A．To suggest the girl’s age. B．To imply a serious illness. C．To show the shortage of toys. D．To highlight the value of the wig. 5．What can be learned from the father`s words? A．Hair style matters much. B．Sports benefit Mustafa. C．Hair loss depressed Mustafa. D．Mustafa’s treatment failed. 6．What led to Salam`s decision on the mission? A．His sympathy. B．Family support. C．Govemment fund. D．Mustafa’s enthusiasm. 7．What kind of person is Salam according to the passage? A．Cautious and creative. B．Inspiring and talented. C．Caring and determined. D．Ambitious and patient. 【答案】4．D 5．C 6．A 7．C 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了一位来自埃及的叫萨拉姆的人，他一直为患有癌症的儿童个人资助和设计免费假发，给他们战胜疾病的力量，后来决定为患有癌症的孩子们提供免费的假发，让他们振作起来。 4．推理判断题。根据第一段“Five-year-old Mustafa is smiling for the first time in ages. She did not receive a new toy or her favorite candy; rather, she got a wig(假发).”（五岁的穆斯塔法这么多年来第一次露出了笑容。她没有收到新玩具或她最喜欢的糖果；相反，她得到了一顶假发。）以及第二段中“Mustafa had to go through painful procedures after being diagnosed(诊断)with cancer at an early age. Her father expressed her sadness when she lost her hair after months of chemotherapy(化疗).”（穆斯塔法在很小的时候就被诊断出患有癌症，不得不经历痛苦的手术。当她在数月的化疗后脱发时，她的父亲表达了她的悲伤。）可知，穆斯塔法因为被诊断患有癌症，经过数月的化疗后头发掉光了，因此相比于收到新玩具或者最喜欢的糖果，收到一顶假发对她来说是更有意义的。故第一段提到了玩具和糖果是为了突出假发的价值。故选D项。 5．推理判断题。根据第二段中“She saw children of her age jumping in playgrounds and spending hours styling their hair, while she couldn’t. Losing her hair made her hopeless, negatively impacting her response to treatment,” the girl’s father said.”（她看到和她同龄的孩子在操场上蹦蹦跳跳，花上几个小时做发型，而她却不能。失去头发让她绝望，对她的治疗产生了负面影响，”女孩的父亲说。）可推知，我们能从父亲的话中了解到失去使穆斯塔法沮丧。故选C项。 6．细节理解题。根据第四段中的““Many families can barely afford expensive cancer treatment costs, let alone costly cosmetic (美容) services that can play a huge role in restoring children’s confidence and giving them strength to continue their treatment,” said Salam.(“许多家庭几乎负担不起昂贵的癌症治疗费用，更不用说昂贵的美容服务了，而美容服务可以在恢复孩子们的信心、给他们继续治疗的力量方面发挥巨大作用，”萨拉姆说)”可知，萨拉姆很同情这些孩子的遭遇，所以开始行动起来。由此推知，萨拉姆的同情促使他决定执行这项任务。故选A项。 7．推理判断题。根据第四段中““Many families can barely afford expensive cancer treatment costs, let alone costly cosmetic(美容)services that can play a huge role in restoring children`s confidence and giving them strength to continue their treatment,” said Salam.”（萨拉姆说：“许多家庭几乎负担不起昂贵的癌症治疗费用，更不用说昂贵的美容服务了，而这些服务可以在恢复孩子们的信心、给他们继续治疗的力量方面发挥巨大作用。”）可知，萨拉姆很有爱心。根据最后一段中“Despite the several challenges, Salam said making wigs gives him as much happiness as it does for his young customers.”（萨拉姆说，尽管遇到了一些挑战，但制作假发给他带来的快乐和为他的年轻顾客带来的快乐一样多。）可知，萨拉姆是一个意志坚定的人。由此可知，萨拉姆是一个关心他人和有决心的人。故选C项。 Passage 15 （湖南省怀化市2023-2024学年高一下学期期末）When Stanford University student Ellen Xu, now 18, was a five-year-old in San Diego, California, she vividly recalls her parents rushing her little sister to the hospital. Three-year-old Kate had fallen seriously ill; she had a fever, reddened eyes, a rash (皮疹) and some swelling in her hands and tongue. At first the puzzled doctors thoughts he had the flu, but when her condition didn’t improve, the Xus returned to the emergency room, where a doctor by chance had similar experience with a serious inflammatory (炎症) reaction in the blood vessels known as Kawasaki disease. Though rare, it’s the leading cause of acquired heart disease in babies and young children, and its cause remains somewhat mysterious. The doctor knew how to treat it and eventually Kate shook off the illness without suffering damage to her heart. Xu remembers being curious about her sister’s dramatic condition and was amazed that the grown-ups couldn’t answer her questions about why it was so hard to detect. “In my mind, it was this mystery,” she says. “It was a puzzle I wanted to solve. A decade later, wanting to enter a high school science fair, she had an idea: “What if we had a doctor in our pocket?” So she created just that: Using AI, Xu designed an algorithm (算法) that uses visual data to diagnose Kawasaki disease based on five physical symptoms. The technology works the same way as apps that can identify birds and plants with photos you’ve taken on your cellphone. Worried parents can upload a photo that they have taken of their child, and the technology will scan the image for symptoms of Kawasaki disease, which often have a strong visual element, such as a rash or a swollen tongue. Xu’s invention has been used as a web app on the Kawasaki Disease Foundation’s website. “The technology could also be developed for recognizing auto-immune and rheumatological diseases,” she says. “It means a lot to me. I want to use AI to help people live happier and healthier lives.” Xu says. 4．What can we learn from the first two paragraphs? A．The doctors had no difficulty recognizing Kate’s illness. B．Kate suffered from a common disease among children. C．Kawasaki disease is the only cause of acquired heart disease.

This study clearly stresses the need for additional larger studies to be able to better predict the baseline cognitive trail in aging females versus males,” said Rudolph Tanzi, a professor of neurology at Harvard Medical School, “ As we aim to find ways to block out this disease in the early stage, we will need to know if prevention and treatment strategies will work equally on both men and women. This new study clearly brings us a big step closer to that goal, ” Tanzi added. Finding that women were able to reduce their risk even more than men is welcome news,as it provides a promising area for future study and gives hope that women can tip the battle against Alzheimer's in their favor. “By treating people in an evidence based yet safe way,using various lifestyles and medical interventions, we've shown that you can really make an impact on brain health,” he said. 8．What can we know from paragraph 1? A．Age and genetics have no impact on Alzheimer’s. B．Alzheimer’s has nothing to do with sex difference. C．Women are more likely to develop Alzheimer’s than men. D． Being a woman decreases the chance of developing Alzheimer’s. 9．What is Isaacson’s attitude towards the new research? A．Indifferent. B．Opposed. C．Ignorant. D．Positive. 10．What can affect brain health according to Tanzi? A．Lifestyle changes. B．Higher education. C．living environment D．Personal experience. 11．Where is the text likely from? A．A novel. B．A magazine. C．A brochure. D．A travel guide. 【答案】8．C 9．D 10．A 11．B 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了研究发现女性比男性更容易患阿尔茨海默病并指出个性化的生活方式干预能够降低男女患阿尔茨海默病的风险因素。 8．推理判断题。根据第一段的“After age and genetics, being a woman is the single most important risk factor for developing Alzheimer’s disease(在年龄和基因之后，女性是患阿尔茨海默病的唯一最重要的风险因素。)”可知，女性的性别因素对于患阿尔茨海默病的影响排在年龄和基因之后，由此可知，女性比男性更容易患阿尔茨海默病。故选C。 9．推理判断题。根据第三段的““Our individually tailored interventions led to greater improvements in women compared to men across risk scales for Alzheimer's and cardiovascular disease,” said Isaacson, who coauthored the paper.(该论文的合著者艾萨克森说：“与男性相比，我们量身定制的干预措施在阿尔茨海默氏症和心血管疾病的风险等级上取得了更大的改善。”) ”可知，艾萨克森对这项新研究的态度是积极的。故选D。 10．细节理解题。根据第四段的“Lifestyle changes such as increased exercise, improved sleep and diet, and reduced stress can impact brain health.

Confused, I glanced toward my stone-faced teacher. Having no choice, I slowly raised the report I had slaved over, hoping to hide myself. “What could be causing everyone to act this way?” Quickly, I flashed back to the day Miss Lancelot gave me the task. This was the first real talk I received in my new school. It seemed simple: go on the Internet and find information about a man named George Washington. Since my idea of history came from an ancient teacher in my home country, I had never heard of that name before. As I searched the name of this fellow, it became evident that there were two people bearing the same name who looked completely different! One invented hundreds of uses for peanuts, while the other led some sort of army across America. I stared at the screen, wondering which one my teacher meant. I called my grandfather for a golden piece of advice — flipping (掷) a coin. Heads-the commander, the tails-the peanuts guy. Ah! Tails, my report would be about the great man who invented peanut butter, George Washington Carver. Weeks later, standing before this unfriendly mass, I was totally lost. Oh well, I lowered the paper and sat down at my desk, burning to find out what I had done wrong. As a classmate began his report, it all became clear, “My report is on George Washington, the man who started the American Revolution.” The whole world became quiet! How could I know that she meant that George Washington? Obviously, my grade was awful. Disheartened but fearless, I decided to turn this around. I talked to Miss Lancelot, but she insisted: No new grades. I felt that the punishment was not justified, and I believed I deserved a second chance. Consequently, I devoted myself to my work for the rest of the school year. Ten months, that chance unfolded as I found myself sitting in the headmaster’s office with my grandfather, now having an entirely different conversation. I smiled and flashed back to the embarrassing moment at the beginning of the year as the headmaster informed me of my option to skip the six grade. Justice is sweet! 4．What did the author’s classmates think about his report? A．Controversial. B．Challenging. C．Ridiculous. D．Boring. 5．Why was the author confused about the task? A．He was new at the school. B．He forgot his teacher’s instruction. C．He was unfamiliar with American history. D．He followed the advice and flipped a coin. 6．In the end, the author turned things around . A．by redoing his task B．through his own efforts C．with the help of his grandfather D．under the guidance of his headmaster 【答案】4．C 5．C 6．B 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者在完成老师交代的任务——介绍历史人物华盛顿时，因为对美国历史不是很熟悉，介绍成了另一个同名的人，引起了同学的嘲笑，于是作者接下来努力学习，扭转了情况。 4．推理判断题。根据第一段“Proudly reading my words, I glanced around the room, only to find my classmates bearing big smiles on their faces and tears in their eyes. Confused, I glanced toward my stone-faced teacher.(我自豪地读着我的文章，我环顾了一下房间，只发现我的同学们脸上带着灿烂的笑容，眼里含着泪水。我困惑地瞥了一眼面无表情的老师)”可知，同学们认为作者的文章是可笑的。故选C。 5．细节理解题。根据第二段“Since my idea of history came from an ancient teacher in my home country, I had never heard of that name before. As I searched the name of this fellow, it became evident that there were two people bearing the same name who looked completely different!(因为我对历史的理解来自于我祖国的一位老教师，我之前从来没有听说过这个名字。当我查这个人的名字时，很明显，有两个看起来完全不同的同名同姓的人)”可知，作者很困惑的原因是对美国历史不熟悉。故选C。 6．细节理解题。根据最后一段“Consequently, I devoted myself to my work for the rest of the school year.(因此，在剩下的学年里，我全身心地投入到学习中)”以及“I smiled and flashed back to the embarrassing moment at the beginning of the year as the headmaster informed me of my option to skip the six grade.(当校长告诉我，我可以跳过六年级时，我笑了，回想起年初的尴尬时刻)”可知，作者通过自己的努力扭转了情况。故选B。 Passage 18 （辽宁省部分高中20232024学年高一下学期期末）David loved his grandson Philip dearly. The boy reminded him of himself at an early age. They had a lot of fun together, exploring the backyard and hiking in the nearby park. However, one weekend, Philip felt ill and had to stay in bed. David made sure to keep his grandson entertained by finding a book they could enjoy together. Before handing it to Philip, he decided to leaf through it and look back at the story. However, while looking through it, he didn’t expect to see another piece of his youth, this time in the form of a photograph of him and his old friends. There were four in the picture — David, Steve, Dorothy, and Teresa. They were neighbors and often went to the beach together. In the photo, the four of them were playing on the sand. Suddenly, David wondered about the people in the photograph, curious to know where life had taken them. Philip noticed that and asked “What happened, Grandpa?” David smiled, excitedly taking the book and the photo to Philip. “Look, Philip. This is an old photo of my friends and me!” he said. “I wish I could meet them again.” Philip suggested looking for them on Facebook. Through Philip’s tablet, they searched for David’s friends.

The only time I’d ever lied was to protect someone’s feelings. But that wasn’t really lying. I would tell myself that it was an act of kindness! And then I had a therapy (治疗) period, when I realized that all of this was actually people-pleasing behaviour. Not only that, but according to my therapist, by continuously hiding my true feelings to protect those I loved, I was stopping them from ever getting to know the real me. I knew something had to change. So, from that moment, I promised I would never tell another lie again. It was particularly hard at the start. It would take me hours to reply to a “do you like a coffee?” text when my answer was “no”. But gradually, I realized it was not impossible. Because more often than not, I’d tell the truth when I have to stop the appointment (约定) with friends, but instead of being disappointed, they would reply, “Oh, I’m delighted that you tell the truth.” If there is any difference, by telling the truth, I was becoming closer to those I really connected with, and gently letting go of those I didn’t. Some did struggle at first because they weren’t used to my honesty. But slowly, people began to express their gratitude for my newfound honesty. I’ll never forget the first time a friend thanked me for it: “I feel so safe in our friendship because I know if I’ve upset you, you’ll just tell me!” It’s why I’m fully committed to maintaining honesty. I have no idea where it will take me, but at least I’ll always be living a life of total authenticity. My experience inspired me to write a children’s novel about a girl who couldn’t lie. I’ve dedicated (把……献给) it to my younger self, and I hope it also encourages a new generation to do what I’ve only just learned: to tell the truth. 4．The author decided to stop lying when ______. A．she received a treatment B．she became a therapist C．she made her friends happy D．she wanted to protect someone’s feelings 5．What made the author believe it is possible to tell the truth? A．Her friends’ supportive responses. B．Her unique way to tell the truth. C．Her therapist’s encouragement. D．Her trust in her friends. 6．What does the underlined word “authenticity” in paragraph 4 mean? A．Creativity. B．Humor. C．Truth. D．Greatness. 7．What does the author want the new generation to do in the last paragraph? A．Be honest people. B．Avoid unnecessary conversations. C．Write books to encourage children to be happy. D．Keep a balance between telling lies and the truth. 【答案】4．A 5．A 6．C 7．A 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。作者过去为了取悦他人而说谎，然后通过心理治疗认识到这种行为带来的问题。现在，作者决定不再为取悦他人而说谎，并从中领悟到说真话的重要性。 4．细节理解题。根据文章第二段“And then I had a therapy (治疗) period, when I realized that all of this was actually people-pleasing behaviour. (然后我进行了一段治疗期，我意识到这一切实际上都是取悦他人的行为)”以及“So, from that moment, I promised I would never tell another lie again.( 所以，从那一刻起，我保证再也不会说谎了)”可知，当作者接受治疗，作者决定停止说谎。故选A。 5．细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Because more often than not, I’d tell the truth when I have to stop the appointment (约定) with friends, but instead of being disappointed, they would reply, “Oh, I’m delighted that you tell the truth.”(因为很多时候，当我不得不停止与朋友的约会时，我会说实话，但他们不会失望，而是会回答：“哦，我很高兴你说了实话。”)”可知，当作者出真心话时，朋友们并没有对作者失望，反而对作者能说实话表示高兴。因此，她的朋友们给予了支持，让作者相信说实话是可能的。故选A。 6．词句猜测题。根据文章第四段“It’s why I’m fully committed to maintaining honesty. I have no idea where it will take me, (这就是为什么我完全致力于保持诚实。我不知道它会把我带到哪里)”可知，作者完全致力于保持诚实，虽然不知道这将带自己去哪里，但至少作者相信自己将一直过着完全真实的生活。第四段中带下划线的单词的意思“真相，真实”，与Truth意义相近。故选C。 7．推理判断题。根据文章第五段“and I hope it also encourages a new generation to do what I’ve only just learned: to tell the truth. (并且我希望这也能鼓励新一代做我刚刚学到的事情：说实话)”可知，作者希望年轻的一代说实话，也做诚实的人。故选A。 Passage 20 （山东省潍坊青州市一中2023-2024学年高一下学期期末）“I am not crazy,” says Dr. William Farber, shortly after performing acupuncture (针灸) on a rabbit. “I am ahead of my time.” If he seems a little defensive, it might be because even some of his coworkers occasionally laugh at his unusual methods. But Farber is certain he’ll have the last laugh. He’s one of a small but growing number of American veterinarians (兽医) now practicing “holistic” medicine-combining traditional Western treatments with acupuncture, chiropractic (按摩疗法) and herbal medicine. Farber, a graduate of Colorado State University, started out as a more conventional veterinarian. He became interested in alternative treatments 20 years ago when he suffered from terrible back pain. He tried muscle-relaxing drugs but found little relief. Then he tried acupuncture, an ancient Chinese practice, and was amazed that he improved after two or three treatments. What worked on a veterinarian seemed likely to work on his patients. So, after studying the techniques for a couple of years, he began offering them to pets. Leigh Tindale’s dog Charlie had a serious heart condition. After Charlie had a heart attack, Tindale says, she was prepared to put him to sleep, but Farber’s treatments eased her dog’s suffering so much that she was able to keep him alive for an additional five months. And Priscilla Dewing reports that her horse, Nappy, “moves more easily and rides more comfortably” after a chiropractic adjustment. Farber is certain that the holistic approach will grow more popular with time, and if the past is any indication, he may be right: Since 1982, membership in the American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association has grown from 30 to over 700. “Sometimes it surprises me that it works so well,” he says. “I will do anything to help an animal. That’s my job.” 4．What do some of Farber’s coworkers think of him? A．He’s odd. B．He’s strict. C．He’s brave. D．He’s rude. 5．Why did Farber decide to try acupuncture on pets? A．He was trained in it at university. B．He was inspired by another veterinarian. C．He benefited from it as a patient. D．He wanted to save money for pet owners. 6．What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A．Steps of a chiropractic treatment. B．The complexity of veterinarians’ work. C．Examples of rare animal diseases. D．The effectiveness of holistic medicine. 7．Why does the author mention the American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association? A．To prove Farber’s point. B．To emphasize its importance. C．To praise veterinarians. D．To advocate animal protection. 【答案】4．A 5．C 6．D 7．A 【导语】本文是记叙文。文章讲述兽医威廉·法伯(William Farber)博士在从针灸中受益后，将综合医疗应用于动物，并取得了初步成效。 4．细节理解题。根据第一段的“If he seems a little defensive, it might be because even some of his coworkers occasionally laugh at his unusual methods.( 如果他看起来有点戒备的姿态，那可能是因为他的一些同事偶尔会嘲笑他不寻常的方法。) ”可知，Farber的同事们有时会嘲笑他不寻常的方法，他们认为他很奇怪。故选A。 5．细节理解题。根据第二段的“Then he tried acupuncture, an ancient Chinese practice, and was amazed that he improved after two or three treatments. What worked on a veterinarian seemed likely to work on his patients. So, after studying the techniques for a couple of years, he began offering them to pets.(然后，他尝试了针灸，这是一种古老的中国疗法，并惊讶地发现，经过两三次治疗，他的病情有所好转。对兽医有效的方法似乎对他的病人也有效。因此，在研究了这些技术几年后，他开始把它们提供给宠物。)”可知，Farber作为患者从针灸中受益，这促使他决定尝试在宠物上使用针灸。故选C。 6．主旨大意题。根据第三段内容“Leigh Tindale’s dog Charlie had a serious heart condition. After Charlie had a heart attack, Tindale says, she was prepared to put him to sleep, but Farber’s treatments eased her dog’s suffering so much that she was able to keep him alive for an additional five months. And Priscilla Dewing reports that her horse, Nappy, “moves more easily and rides more comfortably” after a chiropractic adjustment.(利·廷代尔的狗查理患有严重的心脏病。廷代尔说，查理心脏病发作后，她准备让他进入睡眠状态，但法伯的治疗大大减轻了她的狗的痛苦，她能够让它多活五个月。普里西拉·杜因(Priscilla Dewing)报告说，她的马纳皮(Nappy)经过脊椎按摩调整后，“行动更容易，乘车更舒服”。) ”可知，本段主要讲述了两个例子，一个是Farber通过整体医学方法帮助了患有严重心脏病的狗Charlie，另一个是马Nappy在接受脊椎按摩治疗后移动和骑行更为舒适。这些例子都是为了说明整体医学的有效性。故选D。 7．推理判断题。根据最后一段的内容“Farber is certain that the holistic approach will grow more popular with time, and if the past is any indication, he may be right: Since 1982, membership in the American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association has grown from 30 to over 700. ( 法伯确信，随着时间的推移，综合疗法会越来越受欢迎，如果过去有任何迹象的话，他可能是对的:自1982年以来，美国综合兽医协会的会员已经从30个增加到700多个。)”可知，法伯认为综合疗法会越来越受欢迎，随后作者列举了美国综合兽医协会的会员已经从30个增加到700多个的例子，因此推断美国整体兽医协会是为证明法伯的观点。故选A。 / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
