专题02 阅读理解（记叙文&新闻报道）（原卷版） （一） （2025·黑龙江哈尔滨·二模） “My enthusiasm for this job is totally gone,” an Amazon worker recently wrote on Blind, an online forum where employees complain about their employers. All this happened after Andy Jassy, the tech giant’s boss, sent a letter that ordered staff back to the office five days a week instead of the previous three days. Amazon isn’t alone to limit remote work. A recent global survey by KPMG, another professional-services firm, found that four-fifths of bosses expect a return to the office five days a week within three years. The change in some tech, financial and professional-services firms is more dramatic. Ordering a return to the office tends to anger staff. A survey by Gartner, a research firm, found that a fifth of employees would leave their jobs if they were forced back to the office. For some companies, that may be the point. Getting some of them to leave voluntarily would reduce costs, though it also risks losing talented employees. Many bosses believe having employees in the office leads to better performance. Plenty of studies suggest that remote employees are less productive. There’s less evidence, though, that letting staff work from home a couple of days a week has a negative effect on performance. A random trial at an online travel agency by Nick Bloom of Stanford University found no difference in performance between hybrid workers and those who worked entirely from the office. Bosses may argue that complex tasks, such as designing a user interface, can require a lot of cooperation that may be difficult to perform virtually. Junior employees may also receive less coaching if they interact with others from home. Some bosses argue that this will harm their company’s culture, as new employees don’t absorb it and old ones forget it. Mr. Jassy wrote that Amazon’s culture has been one of the most critical parts of its success, and that it’s easier for our teammates to learn, practise, and strengthen it when working together in the office. For now, investors seem to be withholding judgment. If Mr. Jassy is right, that may soon change. 24．What did the Amazon worker complain about on Blind? A．The increase in remote work hours. B．The shift in the company’s leadership. C．The requirement of the five-day office work. D．The lack of opportunities for advancement. 25．What can be inferred from paragraph 4? A．Office work is always more productive. B．Hybrid work is the best for all companies. C．Remote work leads to a lack of enthusiasm. D．The effect of work mode on productivity isn’t clear-cut. 26．What’s Jassy’s attitude towards ordering employees to return to the office? A．Supportive. B．Opposed. C．Reserved. D．Indifferent. 27．What can be a suitable title for the text? A．Limit Work Days to Promote Productivity B．Know Corporate Culture via Remote Work C．Obey the Order and Stop Making Complaints D．Get Prepared to Go back to the Office to Work （二） （2025·黑龙江大庆·二模） The side door of the small aircraft was opened wide, holding fourteen silent persons. Two of them were my adult children, staring out at the endless sky. When we reached a height of 14,000 feet, my son’s face turned pale as he inched next to the opening and fell out of the airplane. Something went cold in my heart when I realized he was gone. Seconds later, my daughter appeared in the same space. She, however, was delighted, and fell away after her brother. For a moment, a desperate fear overcame me. But it soon passed as I felt a strong pull on my pack and was moved into position by my coach. With my big birthday coming, my children had chosen to surprise me with an unforgettable experience. I’d wanted to chicken out once we reached the airport, but when a woman celebrating her fiftieth wedding anniversary decided to dive, I knew I had to do it, too. Soon I was in the air. I forgot all the instructions I’d received minutes earlier. The world below and the endless sky above could be seen perfectly without windows or walls. It was a symbolic moment. It was only one small step to leave the safety of the small plane to throw myself into the wind, but something transformative happened then. It helped me understand how to overcome fears. I could have refused to leave the plane, missing both the extreme excitement of the fall and the unique beauty of the sky. Holding on to the appearance of safety no longer felt like the only option. I had grown up in suburbia (郊区). Life was satisfying, and I had absolutely no intention to live otherwise. But not long after the skydiving, I was hit by a job offer requiring a move to City Chicago. I took the leap and accepted the job. Now, I am seizing the chance to overcome challenges and the fear of what might lie ahead. 24．Why is the author on the plane? A．To prove his bravery. B．To witness sky’s beauty. C．To challenge his children. D．To celebrate his birthday. 25．Why did the author mention the woman? A．To express his admiration for her loyalty. B．To describe the diversity of participants. C．To show skydiving is extremely popular. D．To clarify age is no reason for quitting. 26．What kind of person was the author before skydiving? A．Content and conventional. B．Forgetful and negative. C．Uncaring and inactive. D．Unsociable and anxious. 27．What happened to the author after the diving? A．He required to skydive again. B．He dared to brave challenges. C．He accepted a job promotion. D．He got more options for his job. （三） （2025·吉林长春·二模） Each Christmas and birthday, Charlie Jeffers would receive brand-new Lego (乐高积木) sets. One day in 2020 he was home building with them when it struck him that many kids couldn’t play with Lego because of its cost. “Lego brings me a lot of joy, and I want to spread that joy to other kids,” he said. Given that some unwanted Lego bricks may end up in landfills, he decided to do something to address the problem. Charlie put up posters around his neighborhood, asking people to donate their unwanted Lego bricks. Because most of the donations were loose bricks and not in complete sets, he used them to develop new sets with fun themes. Charlie delivered the sets to a local Boys and Girls Club. The kids were thrilled to receive them. A local newspaper ran a story about what he was doing. “Word spread quickly, and soon I had more donated bricks,” he recalls. Charlie recruited (招募) some volunteers, and through social media, the project expanded across the Bay Area. Then people in other states began reaching out to Charlie, asking him how they could get involved. Pass the Bricks, a nonprofit organization, was born. Mailing bricks to other states can be pricey, so Charlie developed a network of helpers. They do what Charlie does but in their own communities. Recipients (接受者) have included children receiving cancer treatment in San Francisco, a boy who was shot while playing outside his house in Alabama and schoolkids in Micronesia. Pass the Bricks has donated more than 13,000 sets to kids in need and collected nearly 7,000 pounds of used Lego bricks. With every Lego brick finding a new home, a future where every child has the chance to play, learn, and grow through the magic of Lego is in sight. 24．What do we know about Charlie from Paragraph 1?

Born in Toulouse, Vincent has been living in southwest China for more than a decade. With the influence of French artists Jean Dunand and Gaston Suisse, his journey to unravel the secrets of Chinese lacquerware and his fascination for lacquer art started. “I studied their artworks and often wondered why they used Chinese lacquer. In those days, lacquer could not be found in France.” said the artist. Native to Asia, lacquer trees are planted and tapped for their liquid. It is almost impossible to find lacquer trees in Europe. So, instead of continually transporting lacquer back to France, Vincent chose to send himself to China. Having explored his connections with lacquer over the years, the artist also learned a range of techniques, which he integrated into his own artworks. To dive deep into the art of lacquerware, Vincent traveled to Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture in Sichuan Province, where lacquer craftsmanship is famous. In fact, he actually met two lacquerware craftsmen, who taught him almost everything they knew. “I used to know about lacquerware of Yi just by looking at it. But I had never seen the Yi people before. I have never heard their language. I’ve never seen their villages. It’s only when I came here that I felt the power of their culture.” said Vincent. This field trip gave the artist new inspiration for his exhibition. After seeing Vincent’s exhibition, Liu Guanzhong, a professor at the School of Fine Arts of Tsinghua University said, “What he presents is China in his eyes. Vincent has explored a path. He combines the ideas of a modern artist with ancient skills that are rooted in modern life. He finds new soil for an old seed to bloom into a new flower.” 4．What is Vincent devoted to according to the text? A．Creating western modern art. B．Introducing Chinese lacquerware to France. C．Creating traditional Chinese lacquerware. D．Combining Chinese and Western art. 5．What does the underlined word “unravel” mean in paragraph 2? A．Handle. B．Discover. C．Maintain. D．Expose. 6．Why did Vincent travel to Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture? A．To become a famous craftsman. B．To explore the history of Yi people. C．To understand more about lacquer techniques. D．To experience local craftsmanship. 7．What would Liu Guanzhong agree with about the exhibition? A．It was idealized. B．It explored the root of art. C．It was innovative. D．It featured modern art. （五） （2025·辽宁抚顺·二模） I recently went on my first overseas vacation to Greece. I was with my in-laws and my wife, and naturally, we went to restaurants whenever we were hungry. Having lived in North America for my entire life, I had certain expectations of restaurants: You go in, peruse the menu, place your order, get your food, eat it, pay, tip, and go on your way. I knew that European countries did not generally participate in tipping culture, but I didn’t understand how that fundamentally altered the entire business interaction. Whenever we finished eating, we would relax with the dishes that we were very obviously done with, chat for a bit, and wait for the bill. Wait, wait, and wait! This happened at every restaurant we went to: After we were done and ready to pay and leave, we would end up waiting twenty or thirty minutes to actually get the bill and pay. We absolutely could not figure it out! The servers seemed to be so attentive to everyone else in the restaurants, the locals, but for the obvious group of tourists, we were just left to wait, wait, and wait! It was actually getting frustrating! I finally figured it out on the last day of our trip, watching the locals. When the locals finished their meals, they would not pay immediately. Instead, they would sit and chat, and just sort of… hang out. They would pay when they were ready to leave, and no one would hustle (催促) them out of there. Because the servers weren’t working for pennies and dependent on tips, they had no reason to move people along. Everyone was allowed to move at their own pace, pay when they were ready to pay, and leave when they were ready to leave. The servers would expect the customers to approach or signal them that they were done, rather than checking every few minutes to get things moving. What a novel experience! I wish we had figured it out sooner. 24．Why did the author wait? A．For their food. B．For their bill. C．For the servers. D．For a chat. 25．What made the author upset? A．Long waiting time. B．Poor dishes. C．No tipping culture. D．High prices. 26．How did the servers know when customers were ready to pay? A．By guessing. B．By asking directly. C．By waiting for a signal. D．By checking every few minutes. 27．What did the author learn on the last day? A．To tip the servers. B．To wait for a table. C．Local dining customs. D．How to signal to the servers. （六） （2025·内蒙古呼和浩特·二模） Professor Zhang Liangren from the School of History at Nanjing University has found a unique and engaging way to impact historical and archaeological knowledge to the public through food vlogs. His approach, combining culinary delights (美味佳肴) with fascinating historical insights, has taken China’s social media by storm, attracting a wide audience and winning praise for its innovative method of storytelling. Before delving into (研究) food vlogging, Professor Zhang Liangren usually dined at the school cafeteria or restaurants near his community, rarely going beyond a five-kilometer distance from his home. However, since he started making food vlogs in the summer of 2023, he has been exploring the world extensively, dining at a variety of restaurants that were previously unknown to him. Zhang Liangren frankly admits that he is far from being a qualified “foodie”. He enjoys good food, but has not yet reached the point of searching everywhere for it. What truly led him onto the path of a food vlogger was his passion for archaeology. While watching Zhang taste the food, viewers can listen to him explaining the historical stories behind the dishes. Although the food cannot be immediately tasted, the spiritual nourishment of archaeology has satisfied the taste buds of netizens, who have exclaimed their satisfaction. Speaking of the situation at the beginning of filming,Zhang Liangren admitted, “Because I rarely did these things before, I was quite uncomfortable in front of the camera at first. My Mandarin was not very good either, so my speech and movements were very stiff. But gradually, I got used to it and overall, it’s much better than before.” As for which places he prefers to visit for check-ins, Zhang Liangren states that he prefers shops with a certain level of fame, “It must be down-to-earth, the kind of place that caters to the common people.” He mentioned that he usually chooses small stalls or shops with a long history and good reputation. Sometimes he also selects based on festivals, tasting the food while narrating the methods of preparation and the cultural significance behind the dishes. 4．What is most Chinese audiences’ attitude to Professor Zhang’s food vlogs? A．Doubtful. B．Approving. C．Unconcerned. D．Hopeful. 5．Why does Professor Zhang become a food vlogger? A．He is popular among the netizens. B．He intends to share various food. C．He is fascinated with archaeology. D．He considers himself a qualified foodie. 6．What kind of shops will Professor Zhang choose for his vlogs? A．Time-honored brand stores. B．Reputable chain stores. C．Shops full of influencers. D．Unknown small stalls or shops. 7．Which of the following can best describe Professor Zhang? A．Passionate and humble. B．Sympathic and generous. C．Innovative and devoted. D．Knowledgeable and gifted. （七） （2025·内蒙古赤峰·二模） A Munich art museum worker has been fired for adding one of his own drawings to the collection without permission, which occurred in February. The Pinakothek der Moderne showcases art by Salvador Dali, Pablo Picasso, Nam June Paik and Max Ernst, among many others. The uninvited artist is not named in news accounts; the managers want to discourage others trying the same thing, unless, of course, they’re Banksy. We know only that the unauthorized artwork was 23 by 47 inches. Museums and galleries have limited space and budgets, and often display what they know people want to see. “Sometimes it can feel like it’s the same 25 artists always being exhibited in museums,” Clara Lieu, a former Rhode Island School of Design professor, told us. “I laughed softly when I saw this story,” she added. “It’s an exhibition opportunity that has never crossed my mind.” Nevertheless, she hopes other artists won’t follow with their own unapproved wall hangings, adding “Today, most of the time we look at artworks is on a phone. That makes museums even more important, to create experiences where we can engage with art more deeply. But all artists have a fundamental desire for their artworks to be seen.” I wonder if museums and galleries might consider having Open Wall nights, the way comedy clubs have Open Mic nights. Let people who paint, sculpt, knit, spray-paint, put their work on a real museum wall or base for a night, with permission. An Open Wall night might open a window through which more artists can be spotted and reminds us, too, that creating something with the power to charm, dazzle, or fascinate is not as easy as just hanging art on a wall. 4．What is mentioned about the worker’s artwork? A．It measured 23 by 47 inches. B．It was stolen from the museum. C．It was inspired by Salvador Dali. D．It was modeled after Banksy’s works. 5．What is Clara Lieu’s attitude to the art incident? A．Amused yet disapproving. B．Critical yet sympathetic. C．Indifferent and uncaring. D．Enthusiastic and supportive. 6．What does the author suggest museums and galleries do? A．Display more works of famous artists. B．Encourage artists to create digital artworks. C．Increase their budgets to collect more artworks. D．Offer more space for artists to show their works. 7．What does the article mainly discuss? A．A worker got fired for stealing artworks. B．Artists are frustrated with few shows. C．An incident starts museum-access talks. D．Museums should focus on digital artworks. （八） （2025·内蒙古赤峰·二模） In the small town of Willow Creek, there lived a peculiar old man named Mr. Thompson. He was known for his daily walks through the town square, always carrying a worn-out violin case. Yet, no one had ever heard him play a single note. Every morning at precisely 8:00 am, Mr. Thompson would sit on the same weathered bench, carefully open the case, and gently touch the strings of his violin. Passers-by would often pause, expecting to hear music, but the old man would simply sit in silence, his eyes closed as if listening to a melody only he could hear. The townsfolk had various theories about Mr. Thompson’s strange behavior. Some believed he had lost his ability to play due to age, while others thought he was waiting for the perfect moment to reveal his talent. The local newspaper even ran a story titled “The Silent Musician of Willow Creek,” which brought curious visitors to the town. One particularly cold winter morning, a young girl named Emily approached Mr. Thompson. She had recently lost her hearing due to an illness and felt drawn to the silent musician. As she sat beside him, she noticed tears streaming down his face as his fingers gently moved along the violin’s neck. Suddenly, Emily understood. She reached into her bag and pulled out a notebook, writing: “You’re playing for someone you’ve lost, aren’t you?” Mr. Thompson read the note and nodded, his hands quivering as he wrote his reply: “Every day, I play for my wife who passed away. She was the only one who could hear my music.” From that day forward, Emily and Mr. Thompson formed an unlikely friendship. Though the town never heard a single note from the old man’s violin, they came to understand that some of the most beautiful music is the kind that plays in our hearts. 4．Why did Emily feel drawn to Mr. Thompson? A．She had recently lost her hearing. B．She wanted to learn how to play the violin. C．She was writing a story for the newspaper. D．She recognized him as a famous musician. 5．What does the underlined word “quivering” mean in paragraph 5? A．Moving. B．Freezing. C．Sweating. D．Trembling. 6．How did the townsfolk’s perception of Mr. Thompson change? A．They stopped paying attention to him. B．They asked him to perform at town events. C．They became more curious about his past. D．They understood the meaning behind his silence. 7．What is the main theme of the story? A．The importance of perseverance in music. B．The impact of loss on artistic expression. C．The power of unspoken emotions and memories. D．The value of friendship between different generations. 试卷第1页，共3页 试卷第1页，共3页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 专题02 阅读理解（记叙文&新闻报道）（解析版） （一） （2025·黑龙江哈尔滨·二模） “My enthusiasm for this job is totally gone,” an Amazon worker recently wrote on Blind, an online forum where employees complain about their employers. All this happened after Andy Jassy, the tech giant’s boss, sent a letter that ordered staff back to the office five days a week instead of the previous three days. Amazon isn’t alone to limit remote work. A recent global survey by KPMG, another professional-services firm, found that four-fifths of bosses expect a return to the office five days a week within three years. The change in some tech, financial and professional-services firms is more dramatic. Ordering a return to the office tends to anger staff. A survey by Gartner, a research firm, found that a fifth of employees would leave their jobs if they were forced back to the office. For some companies, that may be the point.

For now, investors seem to be withholding judgment. If Mr. Jassy is right, that may soon change. 24．What did the Amazon worker complain about on Blind? A．The increase in remote work hours. B．The shift in the company’s leadership. C．The requirement of the five-day office work. D．The lack of opportunities for advancement. 25．What can be inferred from paragraph 4? A．Office work is always more productive. B．Hybrid work is the best for all companies. C．Remote work leads to a lack of enthusiasm. D．The effect of work mode on productivity isn’t clear-cut. 26．What’s Jassy’s attitude towards ordering employees to return to the office? A．Supportive. B．Opposed. C．Reserved. D．Indifferent. 27．What can be a suitable title for the text? A．Limit Work Days to Promote Productivity B．Know Corporate Culture via Remote Work C．Obey the Order and Stop Making Complaints D．Get Prepared to Go back to the Office to Work 【答案】24．C 25．D 26．A 27．D 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要报道了亚马逊公司要求员工每周五天回到办公室工作引发的员工反应、行业趋势、老板们的观点以及投资者的态度。 24．细节理解题。根据文章第一段““My enthusiasm for this job is totally gone,” an Amazon worker recently wrote on Blind, an online forum where employees complain about their employers. All this happened after Andy Jassy, the tech giant’s boss, sent a letter that ordered staff back to the office five days a week instead of the previous three days. (“我对这份工作的热情完全没了。”一位亚马逊员工最近在 Blind（一个供员工吐槽雇主的在线论坛）上写道。这一切都源于科技巨头亚马逊的老板Andy Jassy发出的一封信，信中要求员工每周需返回办公室工作五天，而不是此前的三天。)”可知，员工抱怨的是每周需五天回办公室工作的要求。故选C。 25．推理判断题。根据文章第四段“Many bosses believe having employees in the office leads to better performance. Plenty of studies suggest that remote employees are less productive. There’s less evidence, though, that letting staff work from home a couple of days a week has a negative effect on performance. A random trial at an online travel agency by Nick Bloom of Stanford University found no difference in performance between hybrid workers and those who worked entirely from the office. (许多老板认为，员工在办公室办公能带来更好的工作表现。大量研究表明，远程办公的员工工作效率较低。然而，并没有太多证据表明，每周让员工在家工作几天会对工作表现产生负面影响。斯坦福大学的Nick Bloom在一家在线旅行社进行的随机试验发现，混合办公（部分时间在家办公）的员工与完全在办公室办公的员工在工作表现上并无差异。)”可推测，该段一方面提到有研究表明远程办公效率低，但又指出每周几天在家办公对绩效无负面影响，还通过试验说明混合办公和完全在办公室办公表现无差异，说明工作模式对工作效率的影响并非泾渭分明。故选D。 26．推理判断题。根据文章第五段“Mr. Jassy wrote that Amazon’s culture has been one of the most critical parts of its success, and that it’s easier for our teammates to learn, practise, and strengthen it when working together in the office. ( Jassy先生写道，亚马逊的文化一直是其成功的关键因素之一，当团队成员在办公室一起工作时，他们更容易学习、践行并强化这种文化。)”可知，Jassy认为员工在办公室一起工作更容易学习、践行并强化公司文化，而公司文化是成功关键因素之一，所以他对要求员工回办公室工作是支持的态度。故选A。 27．主旨大意题。根据文章第二段“Amazon isn’t alone to limit remote work. A recent global survey by KPMG, another professional-services firm, found that four-fifths of bosses expect a return to the office five days a week within three years. The change in some tech, financial and professional-services firms is more dramatic. (亚马逊并非唯一限制远程办公的公司。另一家专业服务公司毕马威（KPMG）近期开展的一项全球调查发现，五分之四的老板希望员工在三年内恢复每周五天的办公室工作模式。一些科技、金融和专业服务公司的这一转变更为显著。)”，最后一段“For now, investors seem to be withholding judgment. If Mr. Jassy is right, that may soon change. (目前，投资者似乎还在观望。如果Jassy先生是正确的，这种情况可能很快就会改变。)”再结合全文内容可知，文章开头以亚马逊要求员工增加办公室工作天数引发员工抱怨为例，接着阐述了其他公司类似限制远程工作的情况，以及老板要求员工回办公室工作的原因等，整体围绕员工可能要准备回到办公室工作展开。选项D“Get Prepared to Go back to the Office to Work”最能概括文章主旨。故选D。 （二） （2025·黑龙江大庆·二模） The side door of the small aircraft was opened wide, holding fourteen silent persons.

(随着我生日的到来，我的孩子们选择给我一个难忘的经历。)”可知，作者在飞机上是为了庆祝他的生日。故选D。 25．推理判断题。根据第四段“I’d wanted to chicken out once we reached the airport, but when a woman celebrating her fiftieth wedding anniversary decided to dive, I knew I had to do it, too. (我们一到机场，我就想临场退缩，但当一位庆祝结婚50周年的女士决定跳伞时，我知道我也必须这么做。)”可知，作者提到这个女人是为了澄清年龄不是放弃的理由。故选D。 26．推理判断题。根据最后一段“I had grown up in suburbia (郊区). Life was satisfying, and I had absolutely no intention to live otherwise. (我是在郊区长大的。生活是令人满意的，我绝对没有打算过另一种生活。)”可知，在跳伞之前，作者满足现状且传统。故选A。 27．细节理解题。根据最后一段“But not long after the skydiving, I was hit by a job offer requiring a move to City Chicago. I took the leap and accepted the job. Now, I am seizing the chance to overcome challenges and the fear of what might lie ahead. (但跳伞后不久，我接到了一份工作邀请，要求我搬到芝加哥市。我大胆地接受了这份工作。现在，我正在抓住机会，克服挑战，克服对未来的恐惧。)”可知，跳伞之后作者敢于挑战。故选B。 （三） （2025·吉林长春·二模） Each Christmas and birthday, Charlie Jeffers would receive brand-new Lego (乐高积木) sets.

Born in Toulouse, Vincent has been living in southwest China for more than a decade. With the influence of French artists Jean Dunand and Gaston Suisse, his journey to unravel the secrets of Chinese lacquerware and his fascination for lacquer art started. “I studied their artworks and often wondered why they used Chinese lacquer. In those days, lacquer could not be found in France.” said the artist. Native to Asia, lacquer trees are planted and tapped for their liquid. It is almost impossible to find lacquer trees in Europe. So, instead of continually transporting lacquer back to France, Vincent chose to send himself to China. Having explored his connections with lacquer over the years, the artist also learned a range of techniques, which he integrated into his own artworks. To dive deep into the art of lacquerware, Vincent traveled to Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture in Sichuan Province, where lacquer craftsmanship is famous. In fact, he actually met two lacquerware craftsmen, who taught him almost everything they knew. “I used to know about lacquerware of Yi just by looking at it. But I had never seen the Yi people before. I have never heard their language. I’ve never seen their villages. It’s only when I came here that I felt the power of their culture.” said Vincent. This field trip gave the artist new inspiration for his exhibition. After seeing Vincent’s exhibition, Liu Guanzhong, a professor at the School of Fine Arts of Tsinghua University said, “What he presents is China in his eyes. Vincent has explored a path. He combines the ideas of a modern artist with ancient skills that are rooted in modern life. He finds new soil for an old seed to bloom into a new flower.” 4．What is Vincent devoted to according to the text? A．Creating western modern art. B．Introducing Chinese lacquerware to France. C．Creating traditional Chinese lacquerware. D．Combining Chinese and Western art. 5．What does the underlined word “unravel” mean in paragraph 2? A．Handle. B．Discover. C．Maintain. D．Expose. 6．Why did Vincent travel to Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture? A．To become a famous craftsman. B．To explore the history of Yi people. C．To understand more about lacquer techniques. D．To experience local craftsmanship. 7．What would Liu Guanzhong agree with about the exhibition? A．It was idealized. B．It explored the root of art. C．It was innovative. D．It featured modern art. 【答案】4．D 5．B 6．C 7．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了法国艺术家Vincent Cazeneuve在中国将中国传统漆器技艺与西方现代艺术技巧相结合进行创作的故事。 4．细节理解题。根据第一段中“In Sichuan Province, long time resident French artist Vincent Cazeneuve is integrating traditional Chinese lacquerware (漆器) skills with techniques taken from Western modern art into his creations.(在四川省，长期居住在此的法国艺术家Vincent Cazeneuve正在将中国传统漆器技艺与西方现代艺术技巧融入他的创作中)”可知，Vincent致力于将中国和西方艺术相结合。故选D项。 5．词句猜测题。根据划线词所在句“With the influence of French artists Jean Dunand and Gaston Suisse, his journey to unravel the secrets of Chinese lacquerware and his fascination for lacquer art started.(在法国艺术家Jean Dunand和Gaston Suisse的影响下，他unravel中国漆器秘密的旅程以及对漆器艺术的迷恋开始了)”中“the secrets of Chinese lacquerware”可推知，他要去揭开中国漆器的秘密，划线词“unravel”的意思是“揭开，发现”，与B项“Discover”同义。故选B项。 6．细节理解题。根据第四段中“To dive deep into the art of lacquerware, Vincent traveled to Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture in Sichuan Province, where lacquer craftsmanship is famous.(为了深入研究漆器艺术，Vincent前往四川省凉山彝族自治州，那里以漆器工艺闻名)”可知，Vincent前往凉山彝族自治州是为了更多地了解漆器技术。故选C项。 7．推理判断题。根据最后一段中Liu Guanzhong的话“Vincent has explored a path. He combines the ideas of a modern artist with ancient skills that are rooted in modern life. He finds new soil for an old seed to bloom into a new flower.(Vincent探索出了一条道路。他将现代艺术家的理念与扎根于现代生活的古老技艺相结合。他为一颗古老的种子找到了新的土壤，让它绽放出新的花朵)”可知，Liu Guanzhong认为Vincent的展览探索出了一条新的道路，具有创新性。故选C项。 （五） （2025·辽宁抚顺·二模） I recently went on my first overseas vacation to Greece. I was with my in-laws and my wife, and naturally, we went to restaurants whenever we were hungry. Having lived in North America for my entire life, I had certain expectations of restaurants: You go in, peruse the menu, place your order, get your food, eat it, pay, tip, and go on your way. I knew that European countries did not generally participate in tipping culture, but I didn’t understand how that fundamentally altered the entire business interaction. Whenever we finished eating, we would relax with the dishes that we were very obviously done with, chat for a bit, and wait for the bill. Wait, wait, and wait! This happened at every restaurant we went to: After we were done and ready to pay and leave, we would end up waiting twenty or thirty minutes to actually get the bill and pay. We absolutely could not figure it out! The servers seemed to be so attentive to everyone else in the restaurants, the locals, but for the obvious group of tourists, we were just left to wait, wait, and wait! It was actually getting frustrating! I finally figured it out on the last day of our trip, watching the locals. When the locals finished their meals, they would not pay immediately. Instead, they would sit and chat, and just sort of… hang out. They would pay when they were ready to leave, and no one would hustle (催促) them out of there. Because the servers weren’t working for pennies and dependent on tips, they had no reason to move people along. Everyone was allowed to move at their own pace, pay when they were ready to pay, and leave when they were ready to leave. The servers would expect the customers to approach or signal them that they were done, rather than checking every few minutes to get things moving. What a novel experience! I wish we had figured it out sooner. 24．Why did the author wait? A．For their food. B．For their bill. C．For the servers. D．For a chat. 25．What made the author upset? A．Long waiting time. B．Poor dishes. C．No tipping culture. D．High prices. 26．How did the servers know when customers were ready to pay? A．By guessing. B．By asking directly. C．By waiting for a signal. D．By checking every few minutes. 27．What did the author learn on the last day? A．To tip the servers. B．To wait for a table. C．Local dining customs. D．How to signal to the servers. 【答案】24．B 25．A 26．C 27．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述作者在希腊旅游时，因为没有了解当地的风俗习惯而体验感不佳，直到最后一天才明白他们的用餐习俗。 24．细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Whenever we finished eating, we would relax with the dishes that we were very obviously done with, chat for a bit, and wait for the bill. Wait, wait, and wait!(每当我们吃完，我们都会放松地吃那些我们显然已经吃完的菜，聊一会儿天，等着账单。等、等、等！)”可知，作者在等账单。故选B。 25．细节理解题。根据文章第三段“The servers seemed to be so attentive to everyone else in the restaurants, the locals, but for the obvious group of tourists, we were just left to wait, wait, and wait! It was actually getting frustrating!(服务员似乎对餐厅里的其他人、当地人都很关心，但对于那些显而易见的游客来说，我们只能等、等、等！这真的很令人沮丧。)”可知，让作者感到沮丧的是长时间的等待。故选A。 26．细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“The servers would expect the customers to approach or signal them that they were done, rather than checking every few minutes to get things moving.(服务员会希望顾客走向他们或者向他们发出信号，告诉他们已经吃完了，而不是每隔几分钟来检查一次。)”可知，服务员会等着顾客靠近他们或给他们一个信号。故选C。 27．推理判断题。根据最后一段“The servers would expect the customers to approach or signal them that they were done, rather than checking every few minutes to get things moving. What a novel experience! I wish we had figured it out sooner.(服务员会希望顾客走向他们或者向他们发出信号，告诉他们已经吃完了，而不是每隔几分钟来检查一次。多么新奇的经历啊！我希望我早点弄明白。)”可推知，作者在最后一天才了解到当地的用餐习俗。故选C。 （六） （2025·内蒙古呼和浩特·二模） Professor Zhang Liangren from the School of History at Nanjing University has found a unique and engaging way to impact historical and archaeological knowledge to the public through food vlogs.

The Pinakothek der Moderne showcases art by Salvador Dali, Pablo Picasso, Nam June Paik and Max Ernst, among many others. The uninvited artist is not named in news accounts; the managers want to discourage others trying the same thing, unless, of course, they’re Banksy. We know only that the unauthorized artwork was 23 by 47 inches. Museums and galleries have limited space and budgets, and often display what they know people want to see. “Sometimes it can feel like it’s the same 25 artists always being exhibited in museums,” Clara Lieu, a former Rhode Island School of Design professor, told us. “I laughed softly when I saw this story,” she added. “It’s an exhibition opportunity that has never crossed my mind.” Nevertheless, she hopes other artists won’t follow with their own unapproved wall hangings, adding “Today, most of the time we look at artworks is on a phone. That makes museums even more important, to create experiences where we can engage with art more deeply. But all artists have a fundamental desire for their artworks to be seen.” I wonder if museums and galleries might consider having Open Wall nights, the way comedy clubs have Open Mic nights. Let people who paint, sculpt, knit, spray-paint, put their work on a real museum wall or base for a night, with permission. An Open Wall night might open a window through which more artists can be spotted and reminds us, too, that creating something with the power to charm, dazzle, or fascinate is not as easy as just hanging art on a wall. 4．What is mentioned about the worker’s artwork? A．It measured 23 by 47 inches. B．It was stolen from the museum. C．It was inspired by Salvador Dali. D．It was modeled after Banksy’s works. 5．What is Clara Lieu’s attitude to the art incident? A．Amused yet disapproving. B．Critical yet sympathetic. C．Indifferent and uncaring. D．Enthusiastic and supportive. 6．What does the author suggest museums and galleries do? A．Display more works of famous artists. B．Encourage artists to create digital artworks. C．Increase their budgets to collect more artworks. D．Offer more space for artists to show their works. 7．What does the article mainly discuss? A．A worker got fired for stealing artworks. B．Artists are frustrated with few shows. C．An incident starts museum-access talks. D．Museums should focus on digital artworks. 【答案】4．A 5．A 6．D 7．C 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章报道了一名工人因未经许可将自己的作品加入慕尼黑现代艺术博物馆收藏而被解雇的事件，并由此引发了对博物馆如何为更多艺术家提供展示机会的讨论，作者建议通过“开放墙之夜”为艺术家创造更多展示空间。 4．细节理解题。根据第二段中“We know only that the unauthorized artwork was 23 by 47 inches. (我们只知道未经授权的艺术品是23英寸×47英寸)”可知，该艺术品尺寸为23英寸×47英寸。故选A项。 5．推理判断题。根据第三段中““I laughed softly when I saw this story,” she added. “It’s an exhibition opportunity that has never crossed my mind.” (“当我看到这个故事时，我轻轻地笑了起来，”她补充说。“这是一个我从未想过的展览机会。”)”第四段中“Nevertheless, she hopes other artists won’t follow with their own unapproved wall hangings (尽管如此，她希望其他艺术家不要效仿，未经批准就将自己的作品挂在墙上)”可知，Clara Lieu因为这个故事而笑起来，但她同时希望其他艺术家不要效仿。由此可知，她觉得这一事件很有趣，但不赞同这种行为。故选A项。 6．细节理解题。根据第五段“I wonder if museums and galleries might consider having Open Wall nights, the way comedy clubs have Open Mic nights. Let people who paint, sculpt, knit, spray-paint, put their work on a real museum wall or base for a night, with permission.

He was known for his daily walks through the town square, always carrying a worn-out violin case. Yet, no one had ever heard him play a single note. Every morning at precisely 8:00 am, Mr. Thompson would sit on the same weathered bench, carefully open the case, and gently touch the strings of his violin. Passers-by would often pause, expecting to hear music, but the old man would simply sit in silence, his eyes closed as if listening to a melody only he could hear. The townsfolk had various theories about Mr. Thompson’s strange behavior. Some believed he had lost his ability to play due to age, while others thought he was waiting for the perfect moment to reveal his talent. The local newspaper even ran a story titled “The Silent Musician of Willow Creek,” which brought curious visitors to the town. One particularly cold winter morning, a young girl named Emily approached Mr. Thompson. She had recently lost her hearing due to an illness and felt drawn to the silent musician. As she sat beside him, she noticed tears streaming down his face as his fingers gently moved along the violin’s neck. Suddenly, Emily understood. She reached into her bag and pulled out a notebook, writing: “You’re playing for someone you’ve lost, aren’t you?” Mr. Thompson read the note and nodded, his hands quivering as he wrote his reply: “Every day, I play for my wife who passed away. She was the only one who could hear my music.” From that day forward, Emily and Mr. Thompson formed an unlikely friendship. Though the town never heard a single note from the old man’s violin, they came to understand that some of the most beautiful music is the kind that plays in our hearts. 4．Why did Emily feel drawn to Mr. Thompson? A．She had recently lost her hearing. B．She wanted to learn how to play the violin. C．She was writing a story for the newspaper. D．She recognized him as a famous musician. 5．What does the underlined word “quivering” mean in paragraph 5? A．Moving. B．Freezing. C．Sweating. D．Trembling. 6．How did the townsfolk’s perception of Mr. Thompson change? A．They stopped paying attention to him. B．They asked him to perform at town events. C．They became more curious about his past. D．They understood the meaning behind his silence. 7．What is the main theme of the story? A．The importance of perseverance in music. B．The impact of loss on artistic expression. C．The power of unspoken emotions and memories. D．The value of friendship between different generations. 【答案】4．A 5．D 6．D 7．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Willow Creek小镇上一位老人与一个小女孩之间的感人故事。 4．细节理解题。根据第四段中“She had recently lost her hearing due to an illness and felt drawn to the silent musician. (她最近因病失去了听力，因此被这位沉默的音乐家所吸引。)”可知，Emily因为最近失去了听力，所以被Mr. Thompson所吸引。故选A。 5．词句猜测题。根据第五段中“She reached into her bag and pulled out a notebook, writing: “You’re playing for someone you’ve lost, aren’t you?” Mr. Thompson read the note and nodded, his hands quivering as he wrote his reply: “Every day, I play for my wife who passed away. She was the only one who could hear my music.” (她把手伸进包里，拿出一个笔记本，写道：“你是在为某个你失去的人演奏，对不对？” 汤普森先生看了纸条，点了点头，他的手在写回复时quivering：“每天，我都为我去世的妻子演奏。她是唯一能听懂我音乐的人。”)”可知，汤普森先生对去世妻子的怀念使他情绪激动，手应该是颤抖的，因此quivering在这里的意思是“颤抖”。故选D。 6．细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Though the town never heard a single note from the old man’s violin, they came to understand that some of the most beautiful music is the kind that plays in our hearts. (尽管镇上的人从未听过老人小提琴发出的一个音符，但他们逐渐明白，最美的音乐是奏响在我们心中的那种。)”可知，镇民们对Mr. Thompson的看法发生了变化，他们开始理解他沉默背后的意义。故选D。 7．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是最后一段“From that day forward, Emily and Mr. Thompson formed an unlikely friendship. Though the town never heard a single note from the old man’s violin, they came to understand that some of the most beautiful music is the kind that plays in our hearts. (从那天起，Emily和汤普森先生建立了一段不太可能的友谊。尽管镇上的人从未听过老人小提琴发出的一个音符，但他们逐渐明白，最美的音乐是奏响在我们心中的那种。)”可知，文章主要讲述了Mr. Thompson通过每天“演奏”小提琴来怀念他已故的妻子，而Emily虽然听不见，却理解了他内心的音乐，两人因此建立了深厚的友谊。文章强调了未说出口的情感和记忆的力量，即使无声，也能触动人心。故选C。 试卷第1页，共3页 试卷第1页，共3页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
