(23-24高二下·北京东城·期末)By the time Alex Sanburn was 13, he was well on his way to becoming a working artist. He had already had his first show at a local arts centre. Yet he wanted more-specifically to start showing his work in a juried exhibition, where art experts would evaluate and select pieces in a competitive review process. That’s when he hit a barrier, discovering in the very last line of a multi-page application that the minimum age for submission was 18.
That rejection became a driver for creation. “There was a gap in the art world, and I thought it’d be really cool if I could provide the opportunity to more young artists,” says Alex, now 15.
With the support of his parents, Alex rented a storefront and founded Little EGG Gallery, a commercial studio only for underage artists. The gallery charges a small hanging fee for any displayed work and takes a 15 percent commission fee on sales. In turn, Little EGG helps promote young talent by showcasing their work.
Not long after the opening, Henry Cameron, a professor and artist, happened upon the gallery while walking in his neighbourhood. An exhibition was being installed at the time, and some of Alex’s own work was on the walls. A connection was formed, and Alex asked Henry to help judge an upcoming competition. The first juried show was last spring, and the top three winners each received a $50 cash prize.
Given how busy Alex is with school, life and his own art, Little EGG is mostly open by appointment only, but he’s still devoted to growing the gallery with seasonal and themed shows scheduled a few times a year.
Leo Smith, a 17-year-old artist from Toronto says it’s about time that a venue like Little EGG existed. “As young artists, we don’t get as much credit as I think we’re due, and we also don’t get many opportunities to showcase the amount of work we put into the art.”
1.What happened when Alex was 1?

C.Modest and sympathetic. D.Honest and hard-working.
4.What can we learn from the story?
A.Art connects people worldwide. B.One good turn deserves another.
C.Failures can drive positive change. D.Chance favours the prepared mind.
(23-24高二下·北京丰台·期末)At an airport I overheard an old man and his daughter in their last moments together. They had announced her plane’s departure and standing near the door, he said to his daughter, “I love you, I wish you enough.”
She said, “Daddy, our life together has been more than enough. Your love is all I ever needed. I wish you enough, too, Daddy. ” They kissed good-bye and she left.
He walked over toward the window where I was seated. Standing there I could see he wanted and needed to cry. I tried not to intrude on his privacy, but he welcomed me in by asking, “Did you ever say good-bye to someone knowing it would be forever?” “Yes, I have,” I replied.
Saying that brought back memories I had of expressing my love and appreciation for all my Dad had done for me. Recognizing that his days were limited, I took the time to tell him face to face how much he meant to me. So I knew what this man was experiencing.
“Forgive me for asking, but why is this a forever good-bye?” I asked.
“I am old and she lives much too far away. I have challenges ahead and the reality is, her next trip back will be for my funeral,” he said.
“When you were saying good-bye I heard you say, ‘I wish you enough. ‘May I ask what that means?”
He began to smile. “That’s a wish that has been handed down from other generations. My parents used to say it to everyone. ”He paused for a moment and looking up as if trying to remember it in detail, he smiled even more.
“When we said ‘I wish you enough’, we were wanting the other person to have a life filled with enough good things to sustain them, ”he continued and then turning toward me, he shared the following as if he were reciting it from memory.
“I wish you enough sun to keep your attitude bright. I wish you enough rain to appreciate the sun more. I wish you enough happiness to keep your spirit alive. I wish you enough pain so that the smallest joys in life appear much bigger. I wish you enough gain to satisfy your wanting. I wish you enough loss to appreciate all that you possess. I wish enough ‘Hellos’ to get you through the final ‘Good-bye’. ”

(23-24高二下·北京昌平·期末)James Gailey has already retired. At 80 years old, he was enjoying time in the North Texas community of Callisburg. It’s a small town, with a population of about 300 people. The local school district has two campuses, and supports over 1,100 students in the rural area.
Although Gailey had no intention of returning to the workforce, he had no choice when his monthly rent was raised by $400. Since he couldn’t afford that cost, “Mr. James,” as the students call him, went back to the local school and restarted working as a school janitor.
Three students decided that they could do something about this situation. Greyson Thurman, Banner Tidwell, and Marti Yusko created a GoFundMe web page and shared his story on TikTok. “No 80-year-old should have to work because they have to,” said Tidwell, “It should be because they want to do it. It bothered us that he had to have a place to work to keep his house.”
When the students started the campaign, their goal was to get Mr. James some extra money to help with his rent issues. The page was disabled only two weeks later, raising an impressive $270,000. “It’s amazing,” said Jason Hooper, the principal of Callisburg High School. “The need was met because of three kind kids—of all our students who offered help.” Many of the donations to the GoFundMe page are from students and staff at Callisburg, with most of them only $5 or $10 each.
“It is crazy to see something like that. We knew people would have wanted to help,” said Yusko, “We didn’t know it would blow up.”
At the time of researching and writing this story, Mr. James said that he was ready to return to retirement. “It’s what we’re about,” Hooper said, “We’re a small town. We’re family. We don’t always agree, but we love and help our own.”
1.James Gailey returned to work mainly because of ________.
A.his difficulty in paying his rent B.his boredom of the retiring life
C.his desire to continue his career D.his ambition to improve himself
2.What did the three kids do for James Gailey?

C.Raising money on the website. D.Turning to the school principle.
3.How did Yusko feel after the campaign ?
A.Doubtful. B.Astonished. C.Regretful. D.Confused.
4.What can we learn from the story?
A.It’s never too late to learn. B.A good turn deserves another.
C.Chance favors the prepared mind. D.A small act can make a difference.
(23-24高二下·北京西城·期末)In 2014, a year into her retirement, Morag Warrack found herself in a village hall in the Surrey hills, surrounded by middle-aged men throwing each other on to the floor. “When entering the classroom, I was terrified and thought all these men would be shocked by an old woman walking in,” she says. “The teacher encouraged me to stay and I realized they were all kind and curious about me being there. That was my first experience of learning aikido.”
At 59, Warrack, who had recently handed in her resignation, began reading up on mindfulness practices. “The more I looked into mindfulness, the more aikido kept coming up,” she says. “These books were recommending it as a way to connect the mind, body and spirit.”
Attracted by the idea, Warrack found a local class where she could take a beginners’ session. Despite her struggles, Warrack kept returning. While her husband and two children were supportive, they weren’t tempted to join in. “They just thought: Mum’s off on one again,” she says. Warrack carried on and, after two years of practice, she began moving up the graded system of belt rankings and noticing a change in herself. “Aikido was making me way more confident,” she says, “Since my reactions got quicker, my balance was better and my coordination (协调性) improved, I had a real understanding of my own body and it became a metaphor (比喻) for how to be in life; how to avoid attack without hurting the other person.”
By January 2019, Warrack was determined to achieve her black belt and began training with the only other person in her class who was at the same level as her: a 181cm police officer. “It was a very odd pairing. Not least because he’s so strong and so I had to learn how to use my skills rather than strength against him,” she says.
In December 2021, Warrack, at the age of 66, took her black belt test. For 20 minutes, she had to defend her position against attackers one after another before facing the final randori, where four people attack at once. “One guy kicked me and split my lip,” she laughs. “It made me so angry, but that’s what I needed to keep going.” She passed, making her one of the oldest people to achieve an aikido black belt in the UK.
1.How did Morag Warrack feel when she first entered the aikido classroom?
A.Curious. B.Disappointed. C.Confident. D.Frightened.
2.After two years of practice, Warrack ________.
A.grew more patient B.turned into a better self
C.realized her full potential D.became aware of her weakness
3.In order to achieve her black belt, Warrack had to ________.
A.polish her skills further B.improve her coordination
C.avoid hurting the attackers D.seek support from her family
4.What can we learn from this passage?
A.With age comes wisdom. B.The greatest wealth is health.
C.It’s always a good time to learn. D.Compete with honor and win with grace.
(23-24高二下·北京朝阳·期末)It turns out patience isn’t always a virtue. By the time Nalin Kamat was 13, the Toronto teen had been well on his way to becoming a working artist. He had already had his first show at a local arts centre. Yet he wanted more — specifically to start showing his works in a juried exhibition, where art experts would evaluate and select pieces in a competitive review process, ensuring that only the most outstanding works are included in the exhibition. That’s when he ran into a problem, discovering in the very last line of a multi-page application that the minimum age for submission was 18.
That rejection became a fuel for creation. “As young artists, we don’t get as much credit as I think we deserve, and we also don’t get many opportunities to showcase the amount of work we put into the art. I thought it’d be really cool if I could provide the opportunity for more young artists,” says Nalin, now 15.
With the support of his parents, in January 2023, Nalin founded Little EGG Gallery, a commercial studio only for underage artists. The gallery, which is now profitable enough, charges a small fee for any displayed work and takes a 15 percent service fee on sales. In turn, Little EGG Gallery helps promote young talents by showcasing their works.
Not long after opening, David Griffin, a professor and artist from Ontario College of Art and Design University, happened to come across the gallery while walking with his wife in their neighbourhood. Upon meeting Nalin, Griffin says he understood that he was speaking with someone special, “a strong young artist with a really excellent idea, which was to create a space for showing the local community the easy, natural genius of young people.” A connection was formed, and Nalin asked Griffin to help judge an upcoming competition. The first juried show was last spring, and the top three winners each received a $50 cash prize. Five-year-old Jack Gamble won for his abstract painting titled Pokemon.
Given how busy Nalin is with school life and his own art, Little EGG Gallery is mostly open by appointment only, but he’s still devoted to growing the gallery with seasonal and themed shows scheduled a few times a year.
Nalin believes that young artists are free to be more creative. In an interview with CBC Kids News, he said, “I think when you’re younger, you have more creativity. You see beauty in more things and when you get older, it kind of stops. I don’t want to see anyone prevented from creating their art.
1.According to the passage, the juried exhibition ______.

2022-2023学年北京期末真题
(22-23高二下·北京朝阳·期末)My wife Hannah and I usually don’t keep houseplants. Anything in pots gets either overwatered or underwatered. After my diagnosis (诊断) with a brain cancer, I loved to have something green and alive around us. And then I got a lucky bamboo plant in a pot from my friend Mitch. I told Hannah I wanted to care for the plant myself.
As a physician, I was used to providing care. Since my diagnosis, I had to rely on help from other people, leaving me feeling aimless and upset. Watering the plant taught me I could still be a caregiver.
Over the next few months, I recovered from surgery and completed the first round of treatment. Both the bamboo and I were thriving (繁荣). Then, mysteriously, it began to show signs of stress. No matter what I did, the leaves kept dropping to the floor, making me discouraged and uneasy.
“I can’t even care for simple plant!” I yelled. “I’m failing!”
Hannah reminded me that we’d seen houseplants die before. She asked me why I was getting so worked up about this particular one.
“If my lucky bamboo dies,” I cried out, “I might die too!”
Identifying with the plant had offered me comfort. Now that the plant was struggling, I felt increasingly fearful.
Suddenly, one day, I realized I had wrongly connected my care for the plant—something over which I had at least some control — with my own survival — something over which I had no control. When my cancer returned, it would not be because of any failure on my part — not because I ate sugar occasionally and certainly not because I failed to keep this plant alive.
As my anxiety lessened, I learned from online tips to care for my dying plant. I moved the bamboo to a larger pot, separating its roots to give it room to grow. When it was back in the sunny window, we both began to thrive again.
1.What made the author change his attitude toward keeping houseplants?
A.He recovered from surgery. B.He got a lucky bamboo plant.
C.He was diagnosed with a cancer. D.He learned how to water a plant.
2.What was the main cause for the author’s anxiety?
A.His struggle with cancer.
B.His decision to care for the plant.
C.His inability to look after himself.
D.His belief in linking his survival to the plant’s.
3.What can we learn from the passage?
A.Everything comes to those who wait.
B.Positive thinking is a cure of anxiety.
C.Trust yourself that you can do it and get it.
D.You carry the passport to your own success.

2021-2022学年北京期末真题
(21-22高二下·北京昌平·期末)During my early childhood years, I would spend time with my dad in Alabama, fishing and hiking through the woods.
This is where I found my first box turtle crossing a busy road. I rescued the animal out of harm’s way. Without money for after-school programs and sports, I would spend my spare time catching crawfish, frogs, and making home-made fishing poles.
I would catch small fish, put them in barrels, and use them to catch larger fish, primarily sunfish, crappie, and catfish. I moved back to Chicago in the 3rd grade and became saddened that I was unable to swim at local beaches and eat fish that were caught from Lake Michigan.
When I started having behavioral issues in elementary school, my teachers would send me to my guidance teacher Dr. Deborah Hawes to do math and science projects.
I would intentionally disrupt (扰乱) the class, knowing that I would get sent down to her office for guidance. Dr. Hawes was passionate about science and math. Her goal was to help every student realize the importance of these subjects, and how they relate to everyday living. As a result, she was able to convince me to participate in science fair project competitions.
Surprisingly, I did incredibly well at those competitions and received numerous awards throughout the city at larger competitions. It was after 8th grade that Dr. Hawes convinced me to transfer to another high school which is famous for its agricultural sciences. This by far, was one of the best decisions I have ever made in my life.
It was while attending this high school that I became interested in the study of environmental and animal sciences. My time here was what stimulated my interest in animal science and conservation and motivated me to continue my education in a local top university, where I was awarded a partial scholarship.
I completed a Bachelor of Science degree in Animal Science in 2004. In 2008, I earned a Master of Science degree while conducting research on turtle nests. As a graduate student from 2006 to 2008, I guided high school and college students by helping them design research projects focusing on reptiles (爬行动物).
In 2009, I became the Savanna Districts first-ever Wildlife Biologist. I am stationed at one of the most visited refuges (保护区) in the nation, which attracts millions of hunters, fishermen, and other outdoor enthusiasts from across the nation.

(21-22高二下·北京昌平·期末)Blake Mycoskie is a businessman.He set up his first business when he was still at college. Three more businesses later, still only 29 years old and feeling a little burned out from work, Mycoskie decided to take a break for a while, and headed down to Argentina for some rest and relaxation.
But rest isn't really part of a businessman's make-up, and it wasn't long before Mycoskie had hit on another idea, one that would come to define him as perhaps the world's best-known social businessman.
On a visit to a village, he was shocked to see that many of the children didn't have any shoes? or if they did, the shoes were badly worn. Since shoes-particularly the local farmers canvas (帆布) shoe,the alpargata — are relatively cheap in Argentina, Mycoskie's first idea was to set up a charity to donate shoes to the children. But after giving it some thought, he realized that this probably wouldn't work: the shoes would quickly wear out, and if he asked people to donate repeatedly every time more shoes were needed, their sympathy for the cause might also soon wear out.
So he came up with the idea of TOMS: One for One shoes. He would take the alpargata to America,produce it, and sell it as a high-end fashion item at around $50 a pair. Quite a lot for a canvas shoe you might say, but for each pair he sold, another pair would be donated to village children.That way he could guarantee a continuing supply and also run the project as a business rather than as a charity.
His plan was carried out and soon his product was getting high satisfaction ratings from customers.Ten years on and with revenues of $392 million a year, the business is developing, supplying shoes not only to children in Argentina but also other parts of the world.
But is the one-for-one model repeatable with other products? TOMS is a for-profit business but for a long time it didn't show a profit. Now he is conscious that "giving" alone is not the answer, and that educating people to improve their own lives is the real key. Yet he still loves TOMS: One for One,calling it his "greatest hit." And why shouldn't he? It has made a difference to millions of poor children around the world and brought him great satisfaction.
1.Blake Mycoskie went to Argentina just to________.
A.take a short break B.do a voluntary work
C.meet the local people D.set up a new business
2.Mycoskie helped the local children by________.
A.calling on people to donate
B.designing a new type of shoes
C.running a One for One shoes project
D.replacing the worn-out shoes with new ones
3.According to the passage, which words can best describe Mycoskie?
A.Brave and generous. B.Creative and caring
C.Talented and outgoing. D.Independent and calm.
(21-22高二下·北京海淀·期末)Ashish, the 48-year-old surgeon encourages others to do the same through Bloodline, a nonprofit association he founded in 2017. Besides this, he donates blood regularly.
According to Ashish, who has been a doctor at a United Family Healthcare hospital in Shanghai since 2007, Bloodline is aimed at creating a blood bank that can help the community as well as individuals with rare blood types who face an urgent need for blood.
“My father, a doctor who specialized in treating chest infections, only charged those who could afford the medical treatment. For those who couldn’t pay, he never mentioned money and instead gave them the drugs for free.” he says.
During his growing up years, Ashish was also exposed to social services, helping collect food and money for a local children’s hospital.
Ashish first donated blood when he was 18. After arriving in China in 2003, Ashish learned mandarin at Fudan University in Shanghai before becoming a graduate student in general surgery at Shanghai Huashan Hospital. Here, he continued participating in blood donation drives as his way of giving back to society. In 2011, he became a volunteer at the Shanghai Blood Center where he helped raise public awareness about blood donations.
The idea of setting up an online community for this cause came in 2013 as he believed that there should be a group of expats who get together voluntarily to work with patients and organize regular gatherings to raise public awareness. In 2017, this community was officially registered as Bloodline.
“Our organization currently has a presence in 14 cities, including Beijing, Dalian, and Guangzhou. It’s often a small group of people in each city but they can help a great deal.” says Ashish, who holds the roles of ambassador and director of the foreign volunteers group at the Shanghai Blood Center.
Ashish has also emphasize the importance of raising awareness of their causes in children, noting that people from the younger generations are more receptive to the idea of donating blood. Bloodline is currently planning to launch a junior club within the organization where youth will get to tour blood donation centers, witness how the blood is dealt, who the end users are, and the difference that they can make to the lives of those in need of blood.
“We come from different countries and have different skin colors, but the blood streaming through our bodies is the same. When there is a need to roll up sleeves and save lives, we will step forward bravely.” he says.

(23-24高二下·北京东城·期末)By the time Alex Sanburn was 13, he was well on his way to becoming a working artist. He had already had his first show at a local arts centre. Yet he wanted more-specifically to start showing his work in a juried exhibition, where art experts would evaluate and select pieces in a competitive review process. That’s when he hit a barrier, discovering in the very last line of a multi-page application that the minimum age for submission was 18.
That rejection became a driver for creation. “There was a gap in the art world, and I thought it’d be really cool if I could provide the opportunity to more young artists,” says Alex, now 15.
With the support of his parents, Alex rented a storefront and founded Little EGG Gallery, a commercial studio only for underage artists. The gallery charges a small hanging fee for any displayed work and takes a 15 percent commission fee on sales. In turn, Little EGG helps promote young talent by showcasing their work.
Not long after the opening, Henry Cameron, a professor and artist, happened upon the gallery while walking in his neighbourhood. An exhibition was being installed at the time, and some of Alex’s own work was on the walls. A connection was formed, and Alex asked Henry to help judge an upcoming competition. The first juried show was last spring, and the top three winners each received a $50 cash prize.
Given how busy Alex is with school, life and his own art, Little EGG is mostly open by appointment only, but he’s still devoted to growing the gallery with seasonal and themed shows scheduled a few times a year.
Leo Smith, a 17-year-old artist from Toronto says it’s about time that a venue like Little EGG existed. “As young artists, we don’t get as much credit as I think we’re due, and we also don’t get many opportunities to showcase the amount of work we put into the art.”

(23-24高二下·北京丰台·期末)At an airport I overheard an old man and his daughter in their last moments together. They had announced her plane’s departure and standing near the door, he said to his daughter, “I love you, I wish you enough.”
She said, “Daddy, our life together has been more than enough. Your love is all I ever needed. I wish you enough, too, Daddy. ” They kissed good-bye and she left.
He walked over toward the window where I was seated. Standing there I could see he wanted and needed to cry. I tried not to intrude on his privacy, but he welcomed me in by asking, “Did you ever say good-bye to someone knowing it would be forever?” “Yes, I have,” I replied.
Saying that brought back memories I had of expressing my love and appreciation for all my Dad had done for me. Recognizing that his days were limited, I took the time to tell him face to face how much he meant to me. So I knew what this man was experiencing.
“Forgive me for asking, but why is this a forever good-bye?” I asked.
“I am old and she lives much too far away. I have challenges ahead and the reality is, her next trip back will be for my funeral,” he said.
“When you were saying good-bye I heard you say, ‘I wish you enough. ‘May I ask what that means?”
He began to smile. “That’s a wish that has been handed down from other generations. My parents used to say it to everyone. ”He paused for a moment and looking up as if trying to remember it in detail, he smiled even more.
“When we said ‘I wish you enough’, we were wanting the other person to have a life filled with enough good things to sustain them, ”he continued and then turning toward me, he shared the following as if he were reciting it from memory.
“I wish you enough sun to keep your attitude bright. I wish you enough rain to appreciate the sun more. I wish you enough happiness to keep your spirit alive. I wish you enough pain so that the smallest joys in life appear much bigger. I wish you enough gain to satisfy your wanting. I wish you enough loss to appreciate all that you possess. I wish enough ‘Hellos’ to get you through the final ‘Good-bye’. ”

(23-24高二下·北京昌平·期末)James Gailey has already retired. At 80 years old, he was enjoying time in the North Texas community of Callisburg. It’s a small town, with a population of about 300 people. The local school district has two campuses, and supports over 1,100 students in the rural area.
Although Gailey had no intention of returning to the workforce, he had no choice when his monthly rent was raised by $400. Since he couldn’t afford that cost, “Mr. James,” as the students call him, went back to the local school and restarted working as a school janitor.
Three students decided that they could do something about this situation. Greyson Thurman, Banner Tidwell, and Marti Yusko created a GoFundMe web page and shared his story on TikTok. “No 80-year-old should have to work because they have to,” said Tidwell, “It should be because they want to do it. It bothered us that he had to have a place to work to keep his house.”
When the students started the campaign, their goal was to get Mr. James some extra money to help with his rent issues. The page was disabled only two weeks later, raising an impressive $270,000. “It’s amazing,” said Jason Hooper, the principal of Callisburg High School. “The need was met because of three kind kids—of all our students who offered help.” Many of the donations to the GoFundMe page are from students and staff at Callisburg, with most of them only $5 or $10 each.
“It is crazy to see something like that. We knew people would have wanted to help,” said Yusko, “We didn’t know it would blow up.”
At the time of researching and writing this story, Mr. James said that he was ready to return to retirement. “It’s what we’re about,” Hooper said, “We’re a small town. We’re family. We don’t always agree, but we love and help our own.”
1.James Gailey returned to work mainly because of ________.
A.his difficulty in paying his rent B.his boredom of the retiring life
C.his desire to continue his career D.his ambition to improve himself
2.What did the three kids do for James Gailey?
A.Finding him a job at campus B.Giving him support for work.
C.Raising money on the website. D.Turning to the school principle.
3.How did Yusko feel after the campaign ?
A.Doubtful. B.Astonished. C.Regretful. D.Confused.
4.What can we learn from the story?
A.It’s never too late to learn. B.A good turn deserves another.
C.Chance favors the prepared mind. D.A small act can make a difference.
【答案】1.A 2.C 3.B 4.D

4.推理判断题。根据最后一段“Mr. James said that he was ready to return to retirement. (詹姆斯先生表示他准备重新退休。)”表明三名学生发起筹款活动的小举动对詹姆斯先生的生活产生了重大影响,年迈的詹姆斯先生不需要工作了,可以过上退休生活。说明即使是小小的善举也能产生积极影响。故选D项。
(23-24高二下·北京西城·期末)In 2014, a year into her retirement, Morag Warrack found herself in a village hall in the Surrey hills, surrounded by middle-aged men throwing each other on to the floor. “When entering the classroom, I was terrified and thought all these men would be shocked by an old woman walking in,” she says. “The teacher encouraged me to stay and I realized they were all kind and curious about me being there. That was my first experience of learning aikido.”
At 59, Warrack, who had recently handed in her resignation, began reading up on mindfulness practices. “The more I looked into mindfulness, the more aikido kept coming up,” she says. “These books were recommending it as a way to connect the mind, body and spirit.”
Attracted by the idea, Warrack found a local class where she could take a beginners’ session. Despite her struggles, Warrack kept returning. While her husband and two children were supportive, they weren’t tempted to join in. “They just thought: Mum’s off on one again,” she says. Warrack carried on and, after two years of practice, she began moving up the graded system of belt rankings and noticing a change in herself. “Aikido was making me way more confident,” she says, “Since my reactions got quicker, my balance was better and my coordination (协调性) improved, I had a real understanding of my own body and it became a metaphor (比喻) for how to be in life; how to avoid attack without hurting the other person.”
By January 2019, Warrack was determined to achieve her black belt and began training with the only other person in her class who was at the same level as her: a 181cm police officer. “It was a very odd pairing. Not least because he’s so strong and so I had to learn how to use my skills rather than strength against him,” she says.
In December 2021, Warrack, at the age of 66, took her black belt test. For 20 minutes, she had to defend her position against attackers one after another before facing the final randori, where four people attack at once. “One guy kicked me and split my lip,” she laughs. “It made me so angry, but that’s what I needed to keep going.” She passed, making her one of the oldest people to achieve an aikido black belt in the UK.
1.How did Morag Warrack feel when she first entered the aikido classroom?
A.Curious. B.Disappointed. C.Confident. D.Frightened.
2.After two years of practice, Warrack ________.
A.grew more patient B.turned into a better self
C.realized her full potential D.became aware of her weakness
3.In order to achieve her black belt, Warrack had to ________.
A.polish her skills further B.improve her coordination
C.avoid hurting the attackers D.seek support from her family
4.What can we learn from this passage?
A.With age comes wisdom. B.The greatest wealth is health.
C.It’s always a good time to learn. D.Compete with honor and win with grace.
【答案】1.D 2.B 3.A 4.C
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了一位名叫Morag Warrack的66岁女性,在退休后开始练习Aikido,并最终在2021年获得了黑带资格,成为英国达到该级别年龄最大的女性之一。她的经历表现了Aikido不仅对身体有好处,还能增强信心和自我意识,她在练习中克服了困难和挑战,展示了坚韧和毅力。
1.细节理解题。根据第一段中“ “When entering the classroom, I was terrified and thought all these men would be shocked by an old woman walking in,” she says. (她说:“当我走进教室时,我吓坏了,我想所有这些男人都会被一个老妇人走进来吓一跳。”)” 可知,Morag Warrack在文章中提到当她第一次进入Aikido教室时,她感到害怕,并认为所有的男人都会对一个老太太的进入感到震惊。因此,她第一次进入空手道教室时的感受是害怕,故选D。
2.推理判断题。第三段中“Warrack carried on and, after two years of practice, she began moving up the graded system of belt rankings and noticing a change in herself. “Aikido was making me way more confident,” she says, “Since my reactions got quicker, my balance was better and my coordination (协调性) improved, I had a real understanding of my own body and it became a metaphor (比喻) for how to be in life; how to avoid attack without hurting the other person.”(Warrack继续练习,在两年的训练后,她开始在腰带等级制度中升级,并注意到自己发生了变化。她说:“Aikido让我变得更加自信,因为我的反应更快了,平衡感更好,协调性也提高了,我真正理解了自己的身体,它成为了一个生活的隐喻,即如何在避免伤害他人的同时避免受到攻击。”)”可知,经过两年的练习,Warrack在腰带等级制度中开始上升,并且注意到了自己的变化。她变得更加自信,反应更快,平衡更好,协调性也提高了。这表明她成为了一个更好的自己。故选B。
3.细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“By January 2019, Warrack was determined to achieve her black belt and began training with the only other person in her class who was at the same level as her: a 181cm police officer. (到2019年1月,Warrack决心达到黑带水平,并开始和班里唯一一个和她水平相同的人一起训练:一个身高181cm的警察。)”可知,她在2019年决定获得黑带,并开始与班上唯一一个和她水平一样的人(一位181厘米的警察)一起训练。这表示她需要更深入地磨练自己的技能以达到黑带的水平。选A.
4.推理判断题。文章中讲述了Morag Warrack在退休后开始学习Aikido,并成功获得了黑带的故事。这表明无论何时学习都是一件好事,因此C选项“It’s always a good time to learn.(无论何时去学习都是好的。)”符合文章的主旨。故选C。
(23-24高二下·北京朝阳·期末)It turns out patience isn’t always a virtue. By the time Nalin Kamat was 13, the Toronto teen had been well on his way to becoming a working artist. He had already had his first show at a local arts centre. Yet he wanted more — specifically to start showing his works in a juried exhibition, where art experts would evaluate and select pieces in a competitive review process, ensuring that only the most outstanding works are included in the exhibition. That’s when he ran into a problem, discovering in the very last line of a multi-page application that the minimum age for submission was 18.
That rejection became a fuel for creation. “As young artists, we don’t get as much credit as I think we deserve, and we also don’t get many opportunities to showcase the amount of work we put into the art. I thought it’d be really cool if I could provide the opportunity for more young artists,” says Nalin, now 15.
With the support of his parents, in January 2023, Nalin founded Little EGG Gallery, a commercial studio only for underage artists. The gallery, which is now profitable enough, charges a small fee for any displayed work and takes a 15 percent service fee on sales. In turn, Little EGG Gallery helps promote young talents by showcasing their works.
Not long after opening, David Griffin, a professor and artist from Ontario College of Art and Design University, happened to come across the gallery while walking with his wife in their neighbourhood. Upon meeting Nalin, Griffin says he understood that he was speaking with someone special, “a strong young artist with a really excellent idea, which was to create a space for showing the local community the easy, natural genius of young people.” A connection was formed, and Nalin asked Griffin to help judge an upcoming competition. The first juried show was last spring, and the top three winners each received a $50 cash prize. Five-year-old Jack Gamble won for his abstract painting titled Pokemon.
Given how busy Nalin is with school life and his own art, Little EGG Gallery is mostly open by appointment only, but he’s still devoted to growing the gallery with seasonal and themed shows scheduled a few times a year.
Nalin believes that young artists are free to be more creative. In an interview with CBC Kids News, he said, “I think when you’re younger, you have more creativity. You see beauty in more things and when you get older, it kind of stops. I don’t want to see anyone prevented from creating their art.
1.According to the passage, the juried exhibition ______.
A.favours works of art experts B.charges a small fee for entries
C.sets no age limit for submission D.displays professionally selected works
2.How did Nalin Kamat feel after being rejected?
A.Anxious. B.Motivated. C.Regretful. D.Confused.
3.Why did Nalin Kamat found Little EGG Gallery?
A.To work with other young artists. B.To meet his parents’ expectations.
C.To offer underage artists a platform. D.To hold an exhibition of his own works.
4.What can we learn from Nalin Kamat’s story?
A.Wisdom arises from experience. B.Everything comes to those who wait.
C.Luck matters to one’s career success. D.Innovative thoughts increase one’s chances.
【答案】1.D 2.B 3.C 4.D

(这种拒绝成为了创造的动力。“作为年轻的艺术家,我们没有得到我认为应得的赞誉,我们也没有很多机会展示我们在艺术上付出的努力。我想如果我能为更多的年轻艺术家提供机会,那就太酷了,”现年15岁的Nalin说。)”可知,被拒绝后,Nalin感到受到激励,想要为年轻艺术家提供更多机会。故选B。

(创新思维增加机会。)”最符合题意。故选D。
2022-2023学年北京期末真题
(22-23高二下·北京朝阳·期末)My wife Hannah and I usually don’t keep houseplants. Anything in pots gets either overwatered or underwatered. After my diagnosis (诊断) with a brain cancer, I loved to have something green and alive around us. And then I got a lucky bamboo plant in a pot from my friend Mitch. I told Hannah I wanted to care for the plant myself.
As a physician, I was used to providing care. Since my diagnosis, I had to rely on help from other people, leaving me feeling aimless and upset. Watering the plant taught me I could still be a caregiver.
Over the next few months, I recovered from surgery and completed the first round of treatment. Both the bamboo and I were thriving (繁荣). Then, mysteriously, it began to show signs of stress. No matter what I did, the leaves kept dropping to the floor, making me discouraged and uneasy.
“I can’t even care for simple plant!” I yelled. “I’m failing!”
Hannah reminded me that we’d seen houseplants die before. She asked me why I was getting so worked up about this particular one.
“If my lucky bamboo dies,” I cried out, “I might die too!”
Identifying with the plant had offered me comfort. Now that the plant was struggling, I felt increasingly fearful.
Suddenly, one day, I realized I had wrongly connected my care for the plant—something over which I had at least some control — with my own survival — something over which I had no control. When my cancer returned, it would not be because of any failure on my part — not because I ate sugar occasionally and certainly not because I failed to keep this plant alive.
As my anxiety lessened, I learned from online tips to care for my dying plant. I moved the bamboo to a larger pot, separating its roots to give it room to grow. When it was back in the sunny window, we both began to thrive again.
1.What made the author change his attitude toward keeping houseplants?
A.He recovered from surgery. B.He got a lucky bamboo plant.
C.He was diagnosed with a cancer. D.He learned how to water a plant.
2.What was the main cause for the author’s anxiety?
A.His struggle with cancer.
B.His decision to care for the plant.
C.His inability to look after himself.
D.His belief in linking his survival to the plant’s.
3.What can we learn from the passage?
A.Everything comes to those who wait.
B.Positive thinking is a cure of anxiety.
C.Trust yourself that you can do it and get it.
D.You carry the passport to your own success.
【答案】1.C 2.D 3.B

Now that the plant was struggling, I felt increasingly fearful.(认同这株植物给了我安慰。现在这株植物正在挣扎,我感到越来越害怕。)”和第八段中的“Suddenly, one day, I realized I had wrongly connected my care for the plant — something over which I had at least some control — with my own survival — something over which I had no control.(突然,有一天,我意识到我错误地将我对植物的照顾——我至少可以控制的事情——与我自己的生存——我无法控制的事情联系在一起。)”可知,作者感觉竹子死了的话自己也会死,所以看到这棵竹子在垂死挣扎,自己也非常害怕,后来他才意识到自己将照顾竹子和自己的生存联系在一起,前者是可以控制的事情,而后者是不可控制的事情。由此可推测出,作者内心焦虑是因为他将自己的生存与竹子的命运联系在一起。故选D。
3.推理判断题。根据第八段中的“Suddenly, one day, I realized I had wrongly connected my care for the plant — something over which I had at least some control — with my own survival — something over which I had no control.(突然,有一天,我意识到我错误地将我对植物的照顾——我至少可以控制的事情——与我自己的生存——我无法控制的事情联系在一起。)”并结合全文内容可知,作者患癌之后养了一盆竹子,对它悉心照料,不知不觉中将竹子与自己的存活联系在了一起,竹子的不良反应让作者非常焦虑,后来作者意识到了这一点,明白了自己癌症复发并不是自己的问题,也不是竹子造成的影响。再根据最后一段中的“As my anxiety lessened, I learned from online tips to care for my dying plant.(随着我的焦虑减轻,我从网上学到了照顾濒临死亡的植物的技巧。)”可知,作者明白了这些道理后焦虑减轻了。由此可推测出,作者在思想上由消极到积极的转变让作者减轻了焦虑,积极的思想是治疗焦虑的良药。故选B。

2021-2022学年北京期末真题
(21-22高二下·北京昌平·期末)During my early childhood years, I would spend time with my dad in Alabama, fishing and hiking through the woods.
This is where I found my first box turtle crossing a busy road. I rescued the animal out of harm’s way. Without money for after-school programs and sports, I would spend my spare time catching crawfish, frogs, and making home-made fishing poles.
I would catch small fish, put them in barrels, and use them to catch larger fish, primarily sunfish, crappie, and catfish. I moved back to Chicago in the 3rd grade and became saddened that I was unable to swim at local beaches and eat fish that were caught from Lake Michigan.
When I started having behavioral issues in elementary school, my teachers would send me to my guidance teacher Dr. Deborah Hawes to do math and science projects.
I would intentionally disrupt (扰乱) the class, knowing that I would get sent down to her office for guidance. Dr. Hawes was passionate about science and math. Her goal was to help every student realize the importance of these subjects, and how they relate to everyday living. As a result, she was able to convince me to participate in science fair project competitions.
Surprisingly, I did incredibly well at those competitions and received numerous awards throughout the city at larger competitions. It was after 8th grade that Dr. Hawes convinced me to transfer to another high school which is famous for its agricultural sciences. This by far, was one of the best decisions I have ever made in my life.
It was while attending this high school that I became interested in the study of environmental and animal sciences. My time here was what stimulated my interest in animal science and conservation and motivated me to continue my education in a local top university, where I was awarded a partial scholarship.
I completed a Bachelor of Science degree in Animal Science in 2004. In 2008, I earned a Master of Science degree while conducting research on turtle nests. As a graduate student from 2006 to 2008, I guided high school and college students by helping them design research projects focusing on reptiles (爬行动物).
In 2009, I became the Savanna Districts first-ever Wildlife Biologist. I am stationed at one of the most visited refuges (保护区) in the nation, which attracts millions of hunters, fishermen, and other outdoor enthusiasts from across the nation.
1.What do we know about the writer?
A.He got his first box turtle on the way home.
B.He felt troubled by his behavioral problems.
C.He enjoyed the outdoor time in early childhood.
D.He refused to join after-school activities in Alabama.

(21-22高二下·北京昌平·期末)Blake Mycoskie is a businessman.He set up his first business when he was still at college. Three more businesses later, still only 29 years old and feeling a little burned out from work, Mycoskie decided to take a break for a while, and headed down to Argentina for some rest and relaxation.
But rest isn't really part of a businessman's make-up, and it wasn't long before Mycoskie had hit on another idea, one that would come to define him as perhaps the world's best-known social businessman.
On a visit to a village, he was shocked to see that many of the children didn't have any shoes? or if they did, the shoes were badly worn. Since shoes-particularly the local farmers canvas (帆布) shoe,the alpargata — are relatively cheap in Argentina, Mycoskie's first idea was to set up a charity to donate shoes to the children. But after giving it some thought, he realized that this probably wouldn't work: the shoes would quickly wear out, and if he asked people to donate repeatedly every time more shoes were needed, their sympathy for the cause might also soon wear out.
So he came up with the idea of TOMS: One for One shoes. He would take the alpargata to America,produce it, and sell it as a high-end fashion item at around $50 a pair. Quite a lot for a canvas shoe you might say, but for each pair he sold, another pair would be donated to village children.That way he could guarantee a continuing supply and also run the project as a business rather than as a charity.
His plan was carried out and soon his product was getting high satisfaction ratings from customers.Ten years on and with revenues of $392 million a year, the business is developing, supplying shoes not only to children in Argentina but also other parts of the world.
But is the one-for-one model repeatable with other products? TOMS is a for-profit business but for a long time it didn't show a profit. Now he is conscious that "giving" alone is not the answer, and that educating people to improve their own lives is the real key. Yet he still loves TOMS: One for One,calling it his "greatest hit." And why shouldn't he? It has made a difference to millions of poor children around the world and brought him great satisfaction.

(21-22高二下·北京海淀·期末)Ashish, the 48-year-old surgeon encourages others to do the same through Bloodline, a nonprofit association he founded in 2017. Besides this, he donates blood regularly.
According to Ashish, who has been a doctor at a United Family Healthcare hospital in Shanghai since 2007, Bloodline is aimed at creating a blood bank that can help the community as well as individuals with rare blood types who face an urgent need for blood.
“My father, a doctor who specialized in treating chest infections, only charged those who could afford the medical treatment. For those who couldn’t pay, he never mentioned money and instead gave them the drugs for free.” he says.
During his growing up years, Ashish was also exposed to social services, helping collect food and money for a local children’s hospital.
Ashish first donated blood when he was 18. After arriving in China in 2003, Ashish learned mandarin at Fudan University in Shanghai before becoming a graduate student in general surgery at Shanghai Huashan Hospital. Here, he continued participating in blood donation drives as his way of giving back to society. In 2011, he became a volunteer at the Shanghai Blood Center where he helped raise public awareness about blood donations.
The idea of setting up an online community for this cause came in 2013 as he believed that there should be a group of expats who get together voluntarily to work with patients and organize regular gatherings to raise public awareness. In 2017, this community was officially registered as Bloodline.
“Our organization currently has a presence in 14 cities, including Beijing, Dalian, and Guangzhou. It’s often a small group of people in each city but they can help a great deal.” says Ashish, who holds the roles of ambassador and director of the foreign volunteers group at the Shanghai Blood Center.
