Passage 3 (23-24高二下·湖北武汉·期末)It’s hard to say what is normal and what is weird where food is concerned — it all depends on the taste of the individual and which part of the world you come from. One person’s nightmare is another person’s delicacy. Here are a few of the strangest types of food from around the world. Haggis (Scotland) A world-famous dish, haggis is made from the parts of a sheep many people would throw away. The heart, lungs and liver are mixed together with onion, spices and oatmeal, then put inside a sheep’s stomach and boiled for three hours. Sannakji (Korea) Now that Japanese sushi is popular around the world, many people are used to eating raw fish. But Sannakji is different. It consists of octopus which is sliced up while alive. The octopus is then cooked in sesame oil and served with a dipping sauce. If you don’t chew the octopus carefully, it’s possible that the tiny suction cups on tentacles(触须) can stick to your throat. Fugu (Japan) Fugu is a famous Japanese fish filled with enough of the poison substance to be deadly. Chefs have to be trained before they can prepare the fish. Fugu actually tastes quite mild. The excitement is in surviving the experiences of eating it. Frogs’ legs (France) Frogs’legs are a popular dish in France, usually served with garlic. They’re said to taste like chicken, but some people find them to be too chewy. If you’re feeling brave, you can try frogs’ legs for yourself — just be sure to remove the skin and bones before you eat them. 7. What do you need to pay attention to while eating Sannakji? A. Eating carefully and slowly. B. Boiling it with dipping sauce. C. Slicing up the dead octopus. D. Preparing a cup of sesame oil. 8. Which dish offers diners a thrill of danger? A. Haggis from Scotland. B. Sannakji from Korea. C. Fugu from Japan. D. Frogs’legs from France. 9. Where does this text probably come from? A. A special menu. B. A cooking recipe. C. A food magazine. D. A nutrition guidebook. Passage 4 (23-24高二下·湖南邵阳·期末)Every delicious steak you have ever enjoyed eating started with a good cut of meat. However, picking that perfect cut can be challenging — supermarkets are flooded with options, and it is not as straightforward as simply choosing the one with the highest price tag. Follow this guide for some advice. Tenderloin (US), Fillet (UK), Eye Fillet (AUS/NZ) A classic cut, the tenderloin comes from the strip of muscle tucked against the backbone of the animal. As this muscle does not do much work, this is the tenderest cut of beef — which also makes it the most expensive, and arguably the most desirable. We say “arguably” because, while the tenderloin is supremely lean and a favorite of those who love their steak to melt in their mouth, it can also be tasteless. Filet mignon, widely referred to as the creme (精华) dela creme of all steak cuts, is cut from the very tip of the tenderloin. Ribeye (US/UK), Scotch fillet (AUS/NZ) This cut, from the rib section of the animal, comes with an abundance of rich marbling. The ribeye won’t give you that same “melt-in-your-mouth” feeling, but it is still one of the tenderest cuts available. Differently, the ribeye is cooked with the bone in, while the Scotch fillet is not. Strip (US), Sirloin (UK), Porterhouse (AUS/NZ) Coming from the hindquarter of the animal, the strip is not quite as tender as the tenderloin, or loaded with quite as much flavor as the ribeye, but for many steak lovers, it is just right. The best part is that because this all-rounder has a bit more chew and a bit less marbling than those cuts, it tends to be less expensive. T-bone Can’t decide between the tenderloin and the strip? Why not both? The T-bone is cut with strip on one side of a bone, and tenderloin on the other. With two very different textures (口感) and flavors, the T-bone gets the best of both worlds, but it can also be more difficult to cook. The meat closer to the bone is slower to cook than the rest of the steak. 10. What can we know about the steaks from the passage? A. It usually takes little time to cook T-bone. B. All things considered, Ribeye is the best. C. A good cut only means the most expensive one. D. It's not a piece of cake to pick a perfect cut. 11. What makes the tenderloin the most expensive part among the steak? A. Different textures. B. The tenderest cut. C. Rich marbling. D. Much flavor. 12. Where can the passage be taken from? A. A science daily. B. An agricultural journal. C. A food magazine. D. A reading website.

Passage 9 (23-24高二下·广东佛山·期末)Feeling burned out and looking for reasons to work less? A new study shows that working nights and volatile(不稳定的) schedules in young adulthood can leave you to suffer from depression and poor health in middle age. The research examined the work schedules and sleep patterns of more than 7,000 Americans over three decades, from the ages of 22 through 50. To the surprise of the study’s author, New York University professor Wen-Jui Han, only one-quarter of the participants worked traditional daytime hours. The remainder worked variable hours. Those with volatile work schedules reported a greater likelihood of poor health and depression at age 50 than those with more stable schedules. “Our work now is making us sick and poor,” Han said in an interview. “Work is supposed to allow us to acquire resources. But, for a lot of people, their work doesn’t allow them to do so. They actually become more and more miserable(悲惨的) over time.” Dr. Alyson Myers, a professor at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, appreciated the new study’s focus on the connection between work schedules, sleep and poor health. The study findings confirmed what she sees in many of her diabetes(糖尿病) patients, who often get no more than five hours of sleep after they work night shifts. Many of the participants in Han’s study who had volatile work schedules tended to have part-time jobs, in some cases multiple part-time jobs. “Unfortunately,” Myers said, “the trend for a lot of these people is that they have to work more than one job to survive.” Han would like her research to promote conversations about ways of providing resources to help people live a happy and healthy life when they’re dog-tired both physically and emotionally because of their work. 25. What does Han’s study mainly tell us? A. The significance of a healthy lifestyle. B. The rising trend of working variable hours. C. The long-term effects of unstable work schedules. D. Some practical approaches to dealing with depression. 26. What is Myers’s attitude to people with volatile work schedules? A. Understanding. B. Unconcerned. C. Doubtful. D. Critical. 27. What is Han’s expectation of her research? A. To provide resources for the poor. B. To help improve people’s well-being. C. To raise awareness of healthy lifestyles. D. To initiate dialogues between employees.

( 地 城 高频考点 02 公益活动 / 善行义举 ( 记叙文 ) ) Passage 1 (24-25高二上·河北邯郸·期中)“A good book is easy to find. ” That is the message on a sign at Hernando Guanlao’s home in the Makati area of Manila, the capital of the Philippines. Guanlao has turned his home into a free public library. Visitors can borrow the books inside for free. Guanlao hopes his library will inspire people to read, especially the young. The 72-year-old said that his library includes books that all students can enjoy — from young children in kindergarten to older students in grade 12. Guanlao’s library has books for readers of all interests. He spoke to reporters at his home, which is filled with thousands of available books. He calls his library Reading Club 2000. It contains many different kinds of books, or genres (体裁) . Genre is a group of artistic, musical, or literary works that share a particular style, form, or content. Some genres in literature are poetry, non-fiction (or real stories) , and fiction (or imaginary stories) . Then there are “sub-genres” such as cookbooks, science fiction, and mystery, to name just a few. He started his library more than 20 years ago when he set 50 books on the walkway in front of his home. Guanlao’s collection has grown greatly over the years — thanks to a continuous supply of books from donors. Speaking of donors, he said, “They just leave boxes of books outside my house.” He has also started donating books himself. He sends reading materials to public schools in far-away communities. Guanlao’s efforts come at a time when reading ability among students in the Philippines remains low. The Programme for International Student Assessment reports that reading scores in the Philippines are among the lowest in the world. The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development runs that programme. Students in the Philippines are also facing learning delays in math and science. Guanlao is firm about his goals: “My mission(使命) is to give away used and donated books to others at no cost,” he said, “and to promote education through literature.” 1.

Passage 2 (23-24高二下·河北邢台·期末)In a scenic community, a man known as Uncle Green has redefined the concept of waste. As a yam bean farmer, Uncle Green held a deep respect for education, coming from his own unfulfilled academic eagerness. Noticing a lack of enthusiasm for reading among the youth, he was determined to make a difference. In 1997, he established a scholarship program initially funded by the local community, including contributions from other patrons. However, Uncle Green realized the need for a sustainable approach to support both education and the environment. His innovative solution emerged in 2002 when he launched a scholarship fund fueled by the community’s recycling efforts. This initiative not only provided financial aid to students but also actively engaged the community in a collective environmental and educational effort. The program grew rapidly, transforming recyclables into educational scholarships and promoting a culture of sustainability. Today, the community awards scholarships annually during the Mid-Autumn Festival, benefiting students from a wide range of educational backgrounds. The initiative has recycled60 tons of materials each year, fostering a spirit of volunteerism and responsibility. Success stories, such as that of a doc tor al student in electrical engineering and a student attending a famous university, are a testament(证明) to the program’s impact. These students have not only achieved academically but also expressed a desire to contribute to their community. Over two decades since its foundation, Uncle Green’s vision continues to inspire. The Community Development Association upholds his legacy by awarding scholarships to an increasing number of students. The collective effort has cultivated(培养) a love for reading and a commitment to sustainable living among the youth. Uncle Green’s story is a powerful example of how individual initiative and community cooperation can lead to sustainable change. It demonstrates the harmony between traditional values and modern social needs, providing a model for communities worldwide. 5. What inspired Uncle Green to start the scholarship program? A.

Passage 3 (23-24高二下·江苏宿迁·期末)After having her second child, 35-year-old Eman Wagdy Selim felt that she had a bigger purpose in life. Although her background was in language and translation, the young Egyptian woman, with her husband’s support, had an idea to create a platform called AI Faraza to provide high-quality fruits and vegetables at competitive prices. After listing 150 products, the platform began offering meat and cheese as well through start-up companies. In 2019, Eman developed the project further into an app that allowed Egyptian women and other small-business owners who sold homemade meals, as well as local farmers, to bring their products to a wider audience. Today, AI Faraza, an Egyptian word that refers to careful and attentive selection, supports Egyptian women in particular, providing them with job opportunities and income to secure decent lives for themselves and their families. They also have access to training opportunities to learn how to best prepare, market and sell homemade food to customers in Egypt through the app. Eman’s idea only became a reality after she heard about the One Million Arab Coders Initiative, which provides online training courses to help Arab youth build and master coding skills so they can pursue jobs in digital technologies and develop their own high-tech projects. She enrolled in the Initiative’s Data Analysis track, where she learned how to transform data into successful ideas. Gaining these skills was a vital step towards the success of AI Faraza, and Eman is proud of the personal growth and achievements she has experienced thanks to the Initiative. Overjoyed at the success of her project, Eman says, “AI Faraza has helped change the lives of 800 Egyptian women, and we will continue to grow and develop our project.

Passage 5 (23-24高二下·江苏泰州·期末)Sia was 13 when she noticed the barefoot children of workers at a construction site. “Their feet were bare. Hard. Dirty. Bleeding.” reflects Sia. “They were just walking around just as it was an everyday practice.” It was then that Sia realized their lives were so different from hers. Sia went back home and saw shoes piled up high — many of which hadn’t been worn for months. Then she rushed to distribute them to the children she saw at the building site. Later that year, with the help of her parents and community volunteers, Sia founded Sole Warriors, a charity committed to providing shoes to those in need, whose motto is: “Donate a sole(鞋), save a soul.” The idea quickly grew. After she spread the word with posters, enquiries from people who wanted to help came flooding in. Now in its fifth year, the organization collects used shoes, refurbishes(翻新) it and donates the finished products to people in need. That need is endless. In the world, an estimated 300 million people can’t afford shoes. Of the nearly 24 billion shoes made every year, shockingly more than 90 percent end up in dustbins. In its first distribution, Sole Warriors collected and gave out 700 pairs of shoes. Today that number rises to 28,000 across four countries. But the organization’s growth met with many challenges. When it came to looking for a company that would do the refurbishments free of charge, Sia faced one barrier after another before finding a partner. “Being a 13-year-old, I did face a lot of prejudice because people were less willing to hear what I say.” says Sia. In recognition of her great influence, Sia was given the Diana Award in 2021. It’s one of the most remarkable honors a young person can receive for social action. But her work isn’t done. “Our goal has always been to touch a million feet,” she says. 17. Why does the author mention Sia’s visit to a construction site? A. To display Sia’s generosity. B.

Passage 6 (24-25高二上·浙江嘉兴·期末)McGriff was in her second year of university when she read Half the Sky, which examines the unfair treatment of women in developing countries. She was shocked to learn that 129 million girls worldwide do not have access to school. “In much of the world, women and girls are responsible for household duties,” said McGriff, “It’s seen that girls won’t ever be putting their education to use.” Additionally, many poor families can’t afford girls’ tuition fees, school supplies and uniforms(校服). Yet, studies have shown that providing free uniforms can reduce dropout rates by 16% and absenteeism by more than 35%. This simple solution took root in McGriff’s mind and started her journey helping girls transform their lives. As she took an entrepreneurship(创业) class, she was tasked with creating a business or nonprofit for a class project, which reminded her of the idea of the school uniform. Soon she developed an idea. After conducting field research, McGriff returned home, presented her education project at entrepreneurship competitions and won $35, 000 in startup fund. Eventually she established her nonprofit, Style Her Empowered (SHE), to bring her vision to life. That first year, the group hired local tailors and provided uniforms and school fees for65 girls. But they soon ran into a problem — the students were outgrowing quickly. To address this, McGriff’s team, together with local tailors and students, designed an innovative “growing uniform” which could be adjusted to fit a girl for up to three years, accommodating six different sizes. Today, SHE serves girls in 20 rural villages in southern Togo, providing 1, 500 girls a year with free uniforms, school fees, supplies, tutoring, and much more. Once enrolled, students receive weekly tutoring. As a result, SHE’s students consistently pass their exams at higher rates than the national average. “Our students have increased their performance in school dramatically,” McGriff said. “If given the opportunity, they shine.” 21.

Passage 8 (23-24高二下·浙江宁波·期末)“A good book is easy to find”, reads the sign on Hernando Guanlao’s two-storey ancestral home on the outskirts of the Philippines’ main financial district which he has turned into a free-for-all public library where anyone can borrow books or keep any of its thousands of books. It all began in 2000, when reading ability among students in the Philippines remains low. In memory of his parents who were able to gift their children with education, Guanlao gathered whatever books he had around the house, and placed them outside with a sign that reading was free. What started as a 50-book display has grown dramatically over the years, thanks to a steady supply of books from donors, some of whom opted to stay anonymous. “They just leave boxes of books outside my house,” said Guanlao. Called the Reading Club 2000, Guanlao’s library showcases a wide variety of books he hopes will inspire people, especially young curious minds to read. Books, believes Guanlao, need to live. And they are only alive if they are being read and used. He is firm about his goals: “My mission is to give away used and donated books to others at no cost, and to promote education through literature.” Migs M, a writer, admitted frankly, “One of my passions is reading, and I’ve always been protective of my books. So it’s quite a surprise for me to find out that a man actually set up the entire house he grew up as a free library.” Then her first time there, she ended up taking a book home. “As a believer in the power of words to inspire and transform, I applaud Guanlao and hope against all odds that there could be people like him in every street in every city of the country.” 29. What’s Guanlao’s original purpose to set up the library? A. To make profits by sharing books. B. To motivate people into enjoying reading. C. To express honor to his parents for education. D. To promote students’ reading ability in Philippines. 30. What do we know about the Reading Club 2000? A. The books are all from donors. B. The library centers on protecting the books. C.

Reading Club 2000: A Public library. C. Hernando Guanlao: A Generous Charitarian. D. Hernando Guanlao: the Founder of Reading Club 2000. Passage 9 (23-24高二下·浙江湖州·期末)It was 11 p. m. when Alex saw a woman standing by the railing on the Main Street Bridge, peering down at the rushing river below. Maybe she was fishing, Alex thought. He continued driving to his home for some tools as his friend’s car had broken down. Tools in hand, he climbed into his car. Instead of taking a shortcut, though, he chose to head back over the bridge. Something about that woman didn’t sit right. Why would she be fishing this late at night in May when it was still cold in this city? As he crossed the bridge, Alex saw the woman standing in the same spot. He pulled a U-turn and parked his car with the hazards(警示灯) flashing, blocking one of the four lanes(车道). In case there was trouble, he hoped another driver would take note and help. He stepped out and got a clearer picture of the scene. The woman was in her 20s, dressed in pants and a heavy coat. “Hey, what’s going on?” Alex called out. The woman didn’t answer or turn around. Alex stepped closer, asking again, “What’s going on?” The woman remained silent, but Alex kept probing(追问), eventually pulling from her that she was going through a particularly rough patch. She was jobless, not doing well in school—in short, life wasn’t working out as she’d hoped. “Not everything goes as planned,” agreed Alex. He started talking about the ups and downs in his life. As he talked, he inched closer. For the next hour he found enough topics of conversation to keep the woman engaged and even laughing. She grew comfortable enough to let him get within a few feet of her. Then a switch seemingly went off. Without warning, she climbed onto the railing. Alex reached for her swiftly and exhausted all his strength to pull her off. Suddenly, the police arrived. Soon, the woman was taken to a hospital. Sadly, this was not the first time someone tried to end it all on one of the city’s bridges. What was unusual was what Alex did. 33. Why did Alex park his car with the hazards flashing? A.

While many felt more comfortable giving to the Hawaii Red Cross or grassroots organizations, others wanted to donate directly to the people in need. Oprah Winfrey and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson felt that way too, so they created The People’s Fund of Maui, which aims to support the displaced residents of Lahaina as they try to rebuild their lives. “I have been meeting with people throughout the community that were impacted by the fires over the last few weeks, asking what they most needed and how I could be of service,” Winfrey said in a statement. “The main thing I’ve been hearing is their concern about how to move forward under the enormous financial burden (负担). The community has come together in so many wonderful ways, and my intention is to support those impacted as they determine what rebuilding looks like for them.” Winfrey and Johnson posted a video announcing a donation of $10 million on Instagram, and calling for those who need assistance to apply. The People’s Fund of Maui aims to provide direct relief to individuals in the form of $1,200 monthly payments for as long as possible. The recipients of this fundraiser are individuals who are over the age of 18, reside in Lahaina and Kula, and lost their homes during the fire. “We are beyond grateful to be working alongside community leaders of Maui to launch the People’s Fund of Maui,” Johnson shared in a statement. “These leaders are offering their guidance to ensure our fund can put money directly in the. hands of those individuals most affected.” Johnson, who spent some time in Honolulu as a kid, praised first responders and com munity members who have stepped up to the challenge. “As people around the world watched the great loss caused by the Maui wildfires, they also witnessed the great spirit of our Polynesian culture and the strength of the people of Maui,” said Johnson. 37.

Freddie Corbett, 15, and Harley Hollingworth, 16, acted swiftly when they saw a distressed man jump onto the tracks at Bolton train station in South Yorkshire over the weekend. The friends, waiting for the last train home on Saturday night as their 11 p. m. curfew(宵禁) approached, noticed the man and heard him express his intention to end his life. “Freddie shouted out loud to stop the man from doing such silly things. Without hesitation, he jumped onto the tracks despite the oncoming train,” Freddie’s mother, Jill Corbett, told Sky News. Harley, who also leapt onto the tracks to help, said, “I wasn’t worried about the train. I just wanted to make sure Freddie got him off the tracks. We could see the train’s headlights approaching. It’s not a very long bend.” “The train arrived about 45 seconds after we got off,” the man kept saying. “You’re good lads. You could tell the man was struggling.” While awaiting help, Freddie and Harley had a heartfelt conversation with the man, learning about his troubles. Gary Robinson of Network Rail praised the teenagers for their lifesaving actions. In a social media post, Gary wrote. “Tonight a male with intent to self-harm on the railway. . . these two lads were his angels. They dragged him off the railway and talked with him until I arrived. They undoubtedly saved his life! Kids often get a bad press, but with humanity like what these lads showed tonight, we are in safe hands! These two lads are a credit to their parents, and I can’t speak highly enough about them.” Freddie’s father, Billy, from Goldthorpe, expressed his pride, saying both parents felt it was “about time we had some good news and good press about our kids.” Harley’s father, Dale, added, I was buzzing.

Feeling stuck and unable to write, she started searching for writing groups in Los Angeles, looking for guidance. When she found WriteGirl, she was inspired. Keren Taylor started WriteGirl in 2001 as a way to help teen girls who did not have access to creative writing programs. “Teen girls are incredibly vulnerable(脆弱的) and invisible.” Taylor said. “They really need to be lifted up and inspired.” At WriteGirl, 400 women writers volunteer to mentor(指导) 700 teenagers a year. Every girl who has gone through the mentorship program has gone to college and several have pursued careers as professional writers. Through the program, girls dive into poetry, fiction, songwriting, play and so on, learning techniques from professional women writers. This leads to well-rounded training and sets WriteGirl apart from other organizations. A typical exercise at WriteGirl is mic and rant, a 30-second session before writing for each girl. As a means for teens to get their ideas out, it enables girls to explore anything meaningful to them. “Not the flowery language, or rather, complicated expressions that sound skillful, but more of the natural, this is what I’m thinking and what I’m feeling.” Taylor said. Sansa’s mentor Danyella Wilder is attracted by the long-term nature of mentoring at WriteGirl. “If only I could join in such a program when I was 15! An organization where people spend their time just to tell you, ‘Hey, good job.’ or ‘That was amazing.’ You’re at the age where you need to hear that.” 45. Why did Sansa join WriteGirl? A.

Passage 13 (23-24高二下·福建三明·期末)In Cedars, Pennsylvania, a cafe is giving people with different abilities, and their families a safe and inclusive space to shine. Created in 2022, the cafe was a response to the need in the community for programs that would enable youth with special needs who aged out of school programs to develop social and vocational skills in a nurturing  environment. The cafe was the brainchild of Pennsylvania mom Maureen Stanko, a teacher and musician. She was concerned about what her son Nick, who is neurodivergent(大脑功能异于常人的), would be able to do after graduation. Stanko was so worried that she spoke to Nick’s therapist(治疗专家), Tyler Kammerle, who told her that he dreamed about opening a restaurant to employ people with disabilities. The two worked together — in association with the Pillars of Love and Light Charity — to make this a reality. Two years later, the So Much To Give Inclusive Cafe was born. The inclusive cafe has made a real difference to people’s lives. One of the staff, Lauren Oppelts, suffers from hearing damage and works as a hostess at the cafe. She said, “If you had invited me to be a hostess a year ago, I wouldn’t have believed you. However, I have grown so much self-confidence. I have witnessed the growth in a lot of these employees since the very, very beginning; it’s just exciting.” Stanko did not know if her son Nick would be able to work at the cafe, but it turned out that her son’s performance had gone beyond her expectations. But the cafe is much more than just a workplace. Stanko also wanted to create a space to coach life skills to people with disabilities.

Passage 15 (23-24高二下·山东临沂·期末)The Jourdain family — Lydia, 44, husband Ben, 51, their daughters Isla, 14, and Alyssa, 11 — began writing postcards in September to cheer patients up. It started as a way for Isla to fulfill the volunteering requirements for her Duke of Edinburgh Silver Award but grew into an activity for the whole family. Mrs Jourdain and her husband have lost friends and family to cancer, which played a key role in them wanting to partake in the project. “Now every Sunday evening, I say ‘postcards, people’ and we all sit down around the kitchen table and write together. We thought it would be a nice way to boost the patients’ spirits,” Mrs Jourdain said. She thought it was nice because they had got such a range of ages between them, so it was quite a variety of things that they wrote about or if they were all writing about the same thing, it was done in different ways. “Sometimes we may write about something that we have attended. For example, last weekend, Isla went to see the Royal Shakespeare Company’s performance of A Midsummer Night’s Dream and she wrote about that. Sometimes it's more about the gardening and the weather and we may comment on the art or people on the postcard we are writing on. The postcards are given to the charity From Me to You as part of its “donate a letter” scheme, which sees them read by the charity, filtered, repackaged and delivered to hospitals, cancer centres or individuals at home. Mrs Jourdain said she hopes to “inspire” others to take part. “It’s so simple, but can have such an impact and I just think we need to reignite the love of a letter,” she said. “Something handwritten is so lovely and personal and cannot be replicated(复制) in an email or text.” 57.

However, Shen’s decision to dive into the unpredictable world of full-time video blogging after graduating in 2019, with a focus on the popular game League of Legends (LOL), raised eyebrows. Initially, Shen’s family supported his career choice, but when he struggled to make ends meet within the first year, they began to advise him to seek a more secure job. But Shen remained determined and persisted with his chosen path. A turning point in Shen’s career occurred at the start of this year when he posted a seemingly odd video, replacing the D and F keys on a keyboard, crucial for in-game character actions, with a foot pedal. Describing it as a “pointless invention” created for fun, Shen admitted that the video initially received limited attention. But a message from a viewer who had lost an arm in a car accident changed everything. The viewer, who relied on one hand to play games, sought guidance on creating a similar foot pedal. “I hadn’t realized that there would be disabled players in need of this kind of pedal,” Shen said. Despite his limited knowledge of circuit-building, he managed to produce 10 different foot pedals and traveled to Chongqing to personally assist the player in installation(安装), gaining valuable feedback. “Due to physical limitations, this player could only operate two simple game characters,” Shen explained. However, with this device, which allows the player to pedal with his foot, he can now play games like a regular person using a keyboard. Recognizing the diverse needs of disabled players nationwide, Shen started providing free assistance in making these pedals. The continuous feedback within the community encouraged Shen to improve his inventions constantly. Shen’s videos recording his experiences touched many internet users, earning him the title of the true “legend” of LOL. “I’m honored to receive this praise. But the real legends were the audience whose support had made the needs of disabled players easier to understand,” he said. 61. What can be inferred from the first two paragraphs? A. Shen’s career was thought to be promising. B. Shen’s difficulties didn’t defeat him. C. Shen’s family were always for his choice. D. Shen’s job focused on developing games. 62. The viewer’s message made Shen realize that _________. A. there was some use for the foot pedal B. different foot pedals should be created C. he helped the disabled use pedals D. he needed to accept others’ feedback 63. Which of the following best describes Shen? A. Modest and honest. B. Determined and creative. C. Helpful and brave. D. Kind and humorous. 64. What is a suitable title for the text? A. Usefulness of “Uselessness” B. Blogs of a blogger C. Possibility of the Disabled D.

Our adventures led us to a city called Tétouan in Morocco. We were walking in the marketplace when I saw her. She was about 20 feet from us, lying flat on her stomach, pulling herself across the streets. Her hands were dirty and bloodied, covered with cuts. People were rushing past her. She was almost invisible to everyone around her. The crowd was sweeping us down the street, little fazed by the woman’s situation. “We have to do something,” I said to Laurie. She nodded. We looked up and down the street, searching for something to buy her, anything with wheels. But before we could figure out a way to help her, she was gone. Many years later, as I walked through our living room past an old wheelchair, I suddenly stopped dead in my tracks. My thoughts flew back to that woman in the marketplace. I wondered if there was a way to make a wheelchair that would be durable(耐用的) yet lightweight, easy to produce, and affordable to transport. I began to draw designs for a prototype(样品) . Several materials crossed my mind: steel, iron, and plastic. But for the longest time, I was stuck. We were approaching the end of lawn(草坪) furniture season in California when the answer suddenly came out of the blue. The white resin(树脂) lawn chair. In 2001, our humanitarian nonprofit, Free Wheelchair Mission, was born. Over the past two decades, we have given away wheelchairs to over 1.3 million people across five continents. The gift of mobility transforms the lives of people living with disabilities.

Passage 18 (24-25高二上·湖南长沙·期末)For children, gifts are usually one of the most exciting parts of Christmas. While opening presents is thrilling, some kids find happiness in giving rather than receiving. For 12-year-old Jonathan Werner, this is certainly the case. Learning that his father grew up in the foster(领养) system and didn’t have much of a Christmas, Werner from Minnesota decided to prepare gifts and basic supplies for children in foster families and domestic violence shelters in four counties. To do so, Werner sold bags of flavored popcorn and chocolate-coated pretzels(双圈饼干) , setting a table by the entrance of big stores during the fall. “I’m proud of what he chose to do and the number of people that he can reach with this project,” his dad, Steven Kolk, told Good Morning America. After selling over $56,000 in popcorn, he headed to multiple stores to pick gifts for 138 children. He chose his presents based on letters from the children and lists that social workers shared with him. “He reads every kid’s letter and tries to find something he thinks they are specifically going to like,” Werner’s mother said. This year, he bought over 60,000 presents, from clothes to Barbie dolls and LEGO sets. He estimated the total to be around $11,300. Once the shopping was done, he set up a gift-wrapping workshop at home. His family and other community members came to help him. “I just want to bring happiness to kids and make their day at Christmas. They are deserved to be loved and appreciated,” said Werner, whose goal is to get Christmas gifts for every foster child in Minnesota. His project has even sparked more good deeds among his neighbors. “I’ve also seen it inspire other people in the community, so it’s really special. It really brings a tear to my eye and makes me feel like he’s really making a difference for people,” Werner’s mother shared. 69.

A decade ago, she relocated with her family to a fresh abode in Austin, Texas. In an effort to foster connections with her neighbors, Kristin hosted a convivial gathering. During the event, a mishap occurred when a delivery individual mistakenly placed one of the picnic tables in her front yard. Post-party, Kristin, enamored with the color turquoise, decided to repaint the misplaced table in her favorite hue and positioned it near the sidewalk. This vibrant table quickly became the epicenter of Kristin's family life, serving as a spot for leisurely activities such as games, crafts, and snacks. Kristin remarks, “We got intentional about where we spent our time. We became ‘front yard people.’” As the allure of the turquoise table drew in passersby, neighbors began to make their acquaintance and engage in casual conversations. Kristin extended invitations for coffee or iced tea, seated at the table. Soon, the idea spread, with neighbors inquiring about replicating the picnic table concept in their own yards.

One person’s nightmare is another person’s delicacy. Here are a few of the strangest types of food from around the world. Haggis (Scotland) A world-famous dish, haggis is made from the parts of a sheep many people would throw away. The heart, lungs and liver are mixed together with onion, spices and oatmeal, then put inside a sheep’s stomach and boiled for three hours. Sannakji (Korea) Now that Japanese sushi is popular around the world, many people are used to eating raw fish. But Sannakji is different. It consists of octopus which is sliced up while alive. The octopus is then cooked in sesame oil and served with a dipping sauce. If you don’t chew the octopus carefully, it’s possible that the tiny suction cups on tentacles(触须) can stick to your throat. Fugu (Japan) Fugu is a famous Japanese fish filled with enough of the poison substance to be deadly. Chefs have to be trained before they can prepare the fish. Fugu actually tastes quite mild. The excitement is in surviving the experiences of eating it. Frogs’ legs (France) Frogs’legs are a popular dish in France, usually served with garlic. They’re said to taste like chicken, but some people find them to be too chewy. If you’re feeling brave, you can try frogs’ legs for yourself — just be sure to remove the skin and bones before you eat them. 7. What do you need to pay attention to while eating Sannakji? A. Eating carefully and slowly. B. Boiling it with dipping sauce. C. Slicing up the dead octopus. D. Preparing a cup of sesame oil. 8. Which dish offers diners a thrill of danger? A. Haggis from Scotland. B. Sannakji from Korea. C. Fugu from Japan. D. Frogs’legs from France. 9. Where does this text probably come from? A. A special menu. B. A cooking recipe. C. A food magazine. D. A nutrition guidebook. 【答案】7. A 8. C 9. C 【语篇解读】这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了世界上四种奇怪的食物。 7. 细节理解题。根据第三段“If you don’t chew the octopus carefully, it’s possible that the tiny suction cups on tentacles (触须) can stick to your throat.(如果你不仔细咀嚼章鱼，触手上的小吸盘可能会粘在你的喉咙上)”可知，吃Sannakji时需要细嚼慢咽。故选A。 8. 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Fugu is a famous Japanese fish filled with enough of the poison substance to be deadly. Chefs have to be trained before they can prepare the fish. Fugu actually tastes quite mild. The excitement is in surviving the experiences of eating it.(河豚是一种著名的日本鱼类，体内充满了足以致命的有毒物质。厨师们在做鱼之前必须接受培训。河豚的味道其实很清淡。令人兴奋的是在吃它的过程中幸存下来)”可知，日本的河豚能让食客感受到危险的刺激。故选C。 9. 推理判断题。根据第一段“It’s hard to say what is normal and what is weird where food is concerned—it all depends on the taste of the individual and which part of the world you come from.

However, picking that perfect cut can be challenging — supermarkets are flooded with options, and it is not as straightforward as simply choosing the one with the highest price tag. Follow this guide for some advice. Tenderloin (US), Fillet (UK), Eye Fillet (AUS/NZ) A classic cut, the tenderloin comes from the strip of muscle tucked against the backbone of the animal. As this muscle does not do much work, this is the tenderest cut of beef — which also makes it the most expensive, and arguably the most desirable. We say “arguably” because, while the tenderloin is supremely lean and a favorite of those who love their steak to melt in their mouth, it can also be tasteless. Filet mignon, widely referred to as the creme (精华) dela creme of all steak cuts, is cut from the very tip of the tenderloin. Ribeye (US/UK), Scotch fillet (AUS/NZ) This cut, from the rib section of the animal, comes with an abundance of rich marbling. The ribeye won’t give you that same “melt-in-your-mouth” feeling, but it is still one of the tenderest cuts available. Differently, the ribeye is cooked with the bone in, while the Scotch fillet is not. Strip (US), Sirloin (UK), Porterhouse (AUS/NZ) Coming from the hindquarter of the animal, the strip is not quite as tender as the tenderloin, or loaded with quite as much flavor as the ribeye, but for many steak lovers, it is just right. The best part is that because this all-rounder has a bit more chew and a bit less marbling than those cuts, it tends to be less expensive. T-bone Can’t decide between the tenderloin and the strip? Why not both? The T-bone is cut with strip on one side of a bone, and tenderloin on the other. With two very different textures (口感) and flavors, the T-bone gets the best of both worlds, but it can also be more difficult to cook. The meat closer to the bone is slower to cook than the rest of the steak. 10. What can we know about the steaks from the passage? A. It usually takes little time to cook T-bone. B. All things considered, Ribeye is the best. C. A good cut only means the most expensive one. D. It's not a piece of cake to pick a perfect cut. 11. What makes the tenderloin the most expensive part among the steak? A. Different textures. B. The tenderest cut. C. Rich marbling. D. Much flavor. 12. Where can the passage be taken from? A. A science daily. B. An agricultural journal. C. A food magazine. D. A reading website. 【答案】10. D 11. B 12. C 【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了挑选牛排时不同部位的特点，包括里脊、肋眼、里脊条和 T 骨牛排等，为读者提供了挑选牛排的相关知识。 10. 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“However, picking that perfect cut can be challenging—supermarkets are flooded with options, and it is not as straightforward as simply choosing the one with the highest price tag.(然而，挑选完美的牛排部位可能具有挑战性——超市里充满了各种选择，而且不像简单地选择价格最高的那么直接)”可知，挑选完美的牛排部位并非易事。故选D项。 11. 细节理解题。根据“Tenderloin (US), Fillet (UK), Eye Fillet (AUS/NZ)”部分中“As this muscle does not do much work, this is the tenderest cut of beef—which also makes it the most expensive, and arguably the most desirable(由于这块肌肉活动量不大，这是最嫩的牛肉——这也使其成为最昂贵的，可能也是最令人向往的)”可知，里脊是最嫩的肉，这使其成为最贵的。故选B项。 12. 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“However, picking that perfect cut can be challenging — upermarkets are flooded with options, and it is not as straightforward as simply choosing the one with the highest price tag.(然而，挑选完美的牛排部位可能具有挑战性——超市里充满了各种选择，而且不像简单地选择价格最高的那么直接)”、“Tenderloin (US), Fillet (UK), Eye Fillet (AUS/NZ) ( 牛里脊(美国)，菲力牛排(英国)，眼肉牛排(澳大利亚/新西兰))”、“Ribeye (US/UK), Scotch fillet (AUS/NZ)( 肋眼牛排(美国/英国)，苏格兰菲力(澳大利亚/新西兰))”、“Strip (US), Sirloin (UK), Porterhouse (AUS/NZ)( 西冷牛排(美国)，西冷(英国)，波特豪斯(澳大利亚/新西兰))”以及“T-bone(T骨牛排)”可知，文章详细介绍了介绍了不同种类的牛排的特点，与食物相关，所以最有可能出自美食杂志。故选C项。 Passage 5 (23-24高二下·江苏苏州·期末) WILD FISH OIL 400 SOFT CAPSULES This wild fish oil is a top quality, sustainably sourced formula containing the omega-3 fatty acid EPA and DHA to support overall wellbeing.

A new study shows that working nights and volatile(不稳定的) schedules in young adulthood can leave you to suffer from depression and poor health in middle age. The research examined the work schedules and sleep patterns of more than 7,000 Americans over three decades, from the ages of 22 through 50. To the surprise of the study’s author, New York University professor Wen-Jui Han, only one-quarter of the participants worked traditional daytime hours. The remainder worked variable hours. Those with volatile work schedules reported a greater likelihood of poor health and depression at age 50 than those with more stable schedules. “Our work now is making us sick and poor,” Han said in an interview. “Work is supposed to allow us to acquire resources. But, for a lot of people, their work doesn’t allow them to do so. They actually become more and more miserable(悲惨的) over time.” Dr. Alyson Myers, a professor at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, appreciated the new study’s focus on the connection between work schedules, sleep and poor health. The study findings confirmed what she sees in many of her diabetes(糖尿病) patients, who often get no more than five hours of sleep after they work night shifts. Many of the participants in Han’s study who had volatile work schedules tended to have part-time jobs, in some cases multiple part-time jobs. “Unfortunately,” Myers said, “the trend for a lot of these people is that they have to work more than one job to survive.” Han would like her research to promote conversations about ways of providing resources to help people live a happy and healthy life when they’re dog-tired both physically and emotionally because of their work. 25. What does Han’s study mainly tell us? A. The significance of a healthy lifestyle. B. The rising trend of working variable hours. C. The long-term effects of unstable work schedules. D. Some practical approaches to dealing with depression. 26. What is Myers’s attitude to people with volatile work schedules? A. Understanding. B. Unconcerned. C. Doubtful. D. Critical. 27. What is Han’s expectation of her research? A. To provide resources for the poor. B. To help improve people’s well-being. C. To raise awareness of healthy lifestyles. D. To initiate dialogues between employees. 【答案】25. C 26. A 27.

Guanlao has turned his home into a free public library. Visitors can borrow the books inside for free. Guanlao hopes his library will inspire people to read, especially the young. The 72-year-old said that his library includes books that all students can enjoy — from young children in kindergarten to older students in grade 12. Guanlao’s library has books for readers of all interests. He spoke to reporters at his home, which is filled with thousands of available books. He calls his library Reading Club 2000. It contains many different kinds of books, or genres (体裁) . Genre is a group of artistic, musical, or literary works that share a particular style, form, or content. Some genres in literature are poetry, non-fiction (or real stories) , and fiction (or imaginary stories) . Then there are “sub-genres” such as cookbooks, science fiction, and mystery, to name just a few. He started his library more than 20 years ago when he set 50 books on the walkway in front of his home. Guanlao’s collection has grown greatly over the years — thanks to a continuous supply of books from donors. Speaking of donors, he said, “They just leave boxes of books outside my house.” He has also started donating books himself. He sends reading materials to public schools in far-away communities. Guanlao’s efforts come at a time when reading ability among students in the Philippines remains low. The Programme for International Student Assessment reports that reading scores in the Philippines are among the lowest in the world. The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development runs that programme. Students in the Philippines are also facing learning delays in math and science. Guanlao is firm about his goals: “My mission(使命) is to give away used and donated books to others at no cost,” he said, “and to promote education through literature.” 1. Who are the main targeted readers of Reading Club 2000? A. The youth. B. Literary lovers. C. Middle-aged and old readers. D. Community book donors. 2. Which statement about Guanlao’s library is UNTRUE according to the text? A. The book classification is very detailed. B. The library continuously buys books for public schools. C.

To increase social influence. B. To enrich the cultural atmosphere. C. To respond to the government's call. D. To help with the backward education situation in Philippines. 4. What is Guanlao like?

Although her background was in language and translation, the young Egyptian woman, with her husband’s support, had an idea to create a platform called AI Faraza to provide high-quality fruits and vegetables at competitive prices. After listing 150 products, the platform began offering meat and cheese as well through start-up companies. In 2019, Eman developed the project further into an app that allowed Egyptian women and other small-business owners who sold homemade meals, as well as local farmers, to bring their products to a wider audience. Today, AI Faraza, an Egyptian word that refers to careful and attentive selection, supports Egyptian women in particular, providing them with job opportunities and income to secure decent lives for themselves and their families. They also have access to training opportunities to learn how to best prepare, market and sell homemade food to customers in Egypt through the app. Eman’s idea only became a reality after she heard about the One Million Arab Coders Initiative, which provides online training courses to help Arab youth build and master coding skills so they can pursue jobs in digital technologies and develop their own high-tech projects. She enrolled in the Initiative’s Data Analysis track, where she learned how to transform data into successful ideas. Gaining these skills was a vital step towards the success of AI Faraza, and Eman is proud of the personal growth and achievements she has experienced thanks to the Initiative.

C 【语篇解读】本文是新闻报道。文章报道了南乔治亚医疗中心(SGMC)颁发DAISY奖给一组护士的事迹，详细描述了这个奖项的背景、目的以及获奖者的故事。 13. 推理判断题。根据第二段“The patient, Laurie Gulliksen, had been receiving inpatient chemotherapy (化疗) since December of 2022. During this time the staff became very close with her. On Friday, April 21, the patient received her last treatment and was scheduled to go home. The nurses wanted to celebrate this achievement and make it special so they purchased balloons, flowers, a card, and a gift, but most importantly, a bell for the patient to ring to signal the completion of her chemotherapy. (这名患者名叫劳里·古利克森(Laurie Gulliksen)，自2022年12月以来一直在住院接受化疗。在此期间，工作人员与她变得非常亲密。4月21日，星期五，病人接受了最后一次治疗，并被安排回家。护士们想庆祝这一成就，让它变得特别，所以他们买了气球、鲜花、卡片和礼物，但最重要的是，给病人买了一个铃铛，以表明她的化疗完成了。)”可知，护士们给劳里·古利克森买气球和鲜花之类的东西是为了庆祝这个不寻常的时刻——她化疗完成了。故选B项。 14. 细节理解题。根据第一段“South Georgia Medical Center (SGMC) honored a team of nurses for the May DAISY(雏菊) Award for extraordinary nursing care.(南乔治亚医疗中心(SGMC)为一组护士颁发了五月雏菊奖，以表彰他们出色的护理工作)”以及第四段““It’s very fitting that we are able to present this award during National Nurses Week which recognizes the devotion of nurses and honors them for taking care of patients during their most difficult moments,” he said. “I am extremely proud of our entire nursing team and their commitment to going above and beyond to enhance the patient experience at SGMC.” (他说：“我们能够在全国护士周期间颁发这个奖项是非常合适的，这是对护士的奉献精神的认可，也是对她们在最困难的时刻照顾病人的荣誉。”“我为我们的整个护理团队以及他们为提高SGMC患者体验而做出的努力感到非常自豪。”)”可知，第一段提到South Georgia Medical Center颁发DAISY Award以表彰非凡的护理服务，而第四段则强调了这个奖项是为了表彰护士在最困难的时刻照顾病人的奉献精神，所以雏菊奖的目的是承认护士的承诺。故选D项。 15. 词句猜测题。划线单词为代词，应是代指前文提到的人或者事，根据前文“SGMC continues to ask patients and fellow employees to honor nurses (SGMC继续要求患者和其他员工尊重护士)”可知，后文为修饰nurses的定语从句，所以their actions and care代指的应是“护士的行动和护理”，所以their应是“Nurses’”。故选D项， 16. 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“DAISY awards are presented monthly in front of the nurse’s workmates, physicians, patients, and visitors. Each honoree receives a certificate praising her or him for being an “Extraordinary Nurse”. They also receive a beautiful sculpture called A Healer’s Touch and a special flower arrangement of daisies generously donated by The Flower Gallery, the local sponsor of SGMC’s DAISY Award. (雏菊奖每月在护士的同事、医生、病人和来访者面前颁发。每位获奖者都会获得一份证书，表扬她或他是一名“杰出护士”。他们还会收到一件名为“A Healer’s Touch”的美丽雕塑，以及由SGMC DAISY奖的当地赞助商The flower Gallery慷慨捐赠的一束特别的雏菊。)”可知，最后一段主要介绍了获奖者的奖品，包括证书、美丽的雕塑和特殊的花卉装饰，这些都是由当地赞助商慷慨捐赠的。因此，本段的主要内容是关于获奖者的奖品。故选C项。 Passage 5 (23-24高二下·江苏泰州·期末)Sia was 13 when she noticed the barefoot children of workers at a construction site. “Their feet were bare. Hard. Dirty. Bleeding.” reflects Sia. “They were just walking around just as it was an everyday practice.” It was then that Sia realized their lives were so different from hers. Sia went back home and saw shoes piled up high — many of which hadn’t been worn for months. Then she rushed to distribute them to the children she saw at the building site. Later that year, with the help of her parents and community volunteers, Sia founded Sole Warriors, a charity committed to providing shoes to those in need, whose motto is: “Donate a sole(鞋), save a soul.” The idea quickly grew. After she spread the word with posters, enquiries from people who wanted to help came flooding in. Now in its fifth year, the organization collects used shoes, refurbishes(翻新) it and donates the finished products to people in need. That need is endless. In the world, an estimated 300 million people can’t afford shoes. Of the nearly 24 billion shoes made every year, shockingly more than 90 percent end up in dustbins. In its first distribution, Sole Warriors collected and gave out 700 pairs of shoes. Today that number rises to 28,000 across four countries. But the organization’s growth met with many challenges. When it came to looking for a company that would do the refurbishments free of charge, Sia faced one barrier after another before finding a partner. “Being a 13-year-old, I did face a lot of prejudice because people were less willing to hear what I say.” says Sia. In recognition of her great influence, Sia was given the Diana Award in 2021. It’s one of the most remarkable honors a young person can receive for social action. But her work isn’t done. “Our goal has always been to touch a million feet,” she says. 17. Why does the author mention Sia’s visit to a construction site? A. To display Sia’s generosity. B. To arouse readers’ sympathy. C. To show the life of construction workers. D. To explain why Sia started Sole Warriors. 18. How does Sole Warriors offer help? A. By urging governments to make joint efforts. B. By donating refurbished shoes to those in need. C. By collecting second-hand shoes from dustbins. D. By searching for companies to make new shoes for free. 19. What difficulty did Sia have in developing the organization? A. Their donation couldn’t meet people’s demand. B. The process of refurbishment was too complicated. C. Her request was rejected by quite a few companies. D. Few people were willing to give away their old shoes. 20. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. Being a socialist is Sia’s dream. B. The Diana Award is awarded annually. C. Sia felt totally satisfied with her social action. D. Sia would not stop her work with Sole Warriors. 【答案】17. D 18. B 19. C 20. D 【语篇解读】本文为一篇记叙文，讲述了13岁的女孩Sia看见建筑工人的孩子们没有鞋子穿后，在父母和社区志愿者的帮助下成立了慈善组织Sole Warriors，致力于为有需要的人提供鞋子。 17. 推理判断题。根据第一段“Sia was 13 when she noticed the barefoot children of workers at a construction site. “Their feet were bare. Hard. Dirty. Bleeding.” reflects Sia. “They were just walking around just as it was an everyday practice.” It was then that Sia realized their lives were so different from hers.(当Sia13岁时，她注意到建筑工地上工人们光着脚的孩子。“他们的脚光着。很硬。很脏。在流血。”Sia想到。“他们只是四处走动，就像日常活动一样。”就在那时，Sia意识到他们的生活与她截然不同。)”和第二段“Sia went back home and saw shoes piled up high — many of which hadn’t been worn for months. Then she rushed to distribute them to the children she saw at the building site. Later that year, with the help of her parents and community volunteers, Sia founded Sole Warriors, a charity committed to providing shoes to those in need, whose motto is: “Donate a sole(鞋), save a soul.”(Sia回到家，看到堆得很高的鞋子，其中许多已经好几个月没穿了。然后她赶紧把它们分发给她在建筑工地看到的孩子们。同年晚些时候，在父母和社区志愿者的帮助下，Sia创立了Sole Warriors，这是一家致力于为有需要的人提供鞋子的慈善机构，其座右铭是：“捐赠一只鞋，拯救一个灵魂。”)”可知，Sia在看到那些光着脚的孩子后，意识到他们和她的生活完全不一样，于是回家把自己不穿的鞋送给那些孩子们，并在父母和社区志愿者的帮助下成立了Sole Warriors，致力于为有需要的人提供鞋子。由此可推测出，作者提到Sia去建筑工地这件事是为了解释她成立Sole Warriors慈善组织的原因。故选D。 18. 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Now in its fifth year, the organization collects used shoes, refurbishes(翻新) it and donates the finished products to people in need.(该组织已经成立第五年了，它收集用过的鞋子，进行翻新，并将成品捐赠给有需要的人。)”可知，Sole Warriors将翻新过的鞋子捐给有需要的人。故选B。 19. 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“When it came to looking for a company that would do the refurbishments free of charge, Sia faced one barrier after another before finding a partner. “Being a 13-year-old, I did face a lot of prejudice because people were less willing to hear what I say.” says Sia.(当谈到寻找一家愿意免费进行翻新的公司时，Sia在找到合作伙伴之前面临着一个又一个障碍。Sia说：“作为一个13岁的孩子，我确实面临着很多偏见，因为人们不太愿意听到我说的话。”)”可知，Sia在寻求愿意免费翻新鞋子的公司时，遭遇到了许多公司拒绝。故选C。 20. 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“But her work isn’t done. “Our goal has always been to touch a million feet,” she says.(但她的工作还没有完成。“我们的目标一直是触及一百万只脚，”她说。)”可推测出，她不会停下Sole Warriors的工作，将会继续为有需要的人提供鞋子。故选D。 Passage 6 (24-25高二上·浙江嘉兴·期末)McGriff was in her second year of university when she read Half the Sky, which examines the unfair treatment of women in developing countries. She was shocked to learn that 129 million girls worldwide do not have access to school. “In much of the world, women and girls are responsible for household duties,” said McGriff, “It’s seen that girls won’t ever be putting their education to use.” Additionally, many poor families can’t afford girls’ tuition fees, school supplies and uniforms(校服). Yet, studies have shown that providing free uniforms can reduce dropout rates by 16% and absenteeism by more than 35%. This simple solution took root in McGriff’s mind and started her journey helping girls transform their lives. As she took an entrepreneurship(创业) class, she was tasked with creating a business or nonprofit for a class project, which reminded her of the idea of the school uniform. Soon she developed an idea. After conducting field research, McGriff returned home, presented her education project at entrepreneurship competitions and won $35, 000 in startup fund. Eventually she established her nonprofit, Style Her Empowered (SHE), to bring her vision to life. That first year, the group hired local tailors and provided uniforms and school fees for65 girls. But they soon ran into a problem — the students were outgrowing quickly. To address this, McGriff’s team, together with local tailors and students, designed an innovative “growing uniform” which could be adjusted to fit a girl for up to three years, accommodating six different sizes. Today, SHE serves girls in 20 rural villages in southern Togo, providing 1, 500 girls a year with free uniforms, school fees, supplies, tutoring, and much more. Once enrolled, students receive weekly tutoring. As a result, SHE’s students consistently pass their exams at higher rates than the national average. “Our students have increased their performance in school dramatically,” McGriff said. “If given the opportunity, they shine.” 21. What contributes to girls’ high dropout rates according to paragraph 2? A. Financial difficulty. B. Family conflict. C. Academic performance. D. School arrangement. 22. When did McGriff start her nonprofit organization? A. After she analyzed the data of studies. B. When she learned about girls’ dropout rates. C. When she won entrepreneurship competitions. D. After she read a book on girls’ unfair treatment. 23. How did SHE settle the issue of uniforms for girls? A. By hiring famous local tailors. B. By creating adjustable uniforms. C. By providing uniforms of various sizes. D. By increasing the school uniform budget. 24. Why does the writer mention the school performance of SHE’s students? A. To highlight their hard work. B. To suggest the popularity of SHE. C. To indicate their further development. D. To show the effectiveness of SHE’s practice. 【答案】21. A 22. C 23. B 24. D 【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了McGriff受《半边天》这本书启发，看到女孩受教育难的现状，通过创业比赛获得资金成立非营利组织SHE，为女孩提供免费校服等帮助，还解决了校服适配问题。 21. 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Additionally, many poor families can’t afford girls’ tuition fees, school supplies and uniforms(校服). (此外，许多贫困家庭负担不起女孩的学费、学习用品和校服)”可知，经济困难导致很多家庭负担不起女孩上学的费用，这是导致女孩高辍学率的原因。故选A项。 22. 细节理解题。根据第三段中“After conducting field research, McGriff returned home, presented her education project at entrepreneurship competitions and won $35,000 in startup fund.
