专题04 阅读理解（记叙文） （2025年和平二模） Some games are destined to live in your memory forever. These are the ones that become instant classics; people talk about them for years after release, sometimes even decades. They appear on every best-of list and get played and replayed over and over again. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is one of these games. First released as a launch title for the Nintendo Switch in 2017, people are still discovering Breath of the Wild four years later. I first picked up the game about six months after Nintendo Switch came out-the earliest I could finally get my hands on the console (游戏机). It was late enough to have heard the accolades but before it had been regarded as one of best video games of all time. I loved every second. It was tough, but worth pushing through. I’ve done most of what there is to do. But there’s one big thing I haven’t done: beat the game. I’ve completed all the story quests (任务) up to the ending. I’ve even wandered the castle. But I can’t bring myself to save the princess. Every time I decide I’m going to take the plunge (毅然决定) , I throw my controller aside. I can’t bring myself to do it. If I beat Breath of the Wild, the adventure is over. As long as I avoid finishing it, there’s still something new to discover. Chances are, I’m not alone. Surely other gamers do this-and not just with Breath of the Wild. This isn’t about losing interest; it’s wanting to always have more left to play. This refusal to complete a game might sound ridiculous. But let’s be real: It’s not uncommon for the ending to be far from the best part. Too often, I’ve been upset about the way a story ended or that a character didn’t get the closure I really wanted. Only recently did I realize those things didn’t really matter; the point of a game is the quest itself, not the ending, so why bother rushing through it? I’m not sure if I’ll ever finish Breath of the Wild. At this point I’m not going to dive back into the game because I’ve completely forgotten what to do and how to do it. I have vague (模糊的) plans to replay it before the sequel (续集) comes out, but for now I’m fine with not having finished this Zelda variant (系列). 41．The underlined word “accolades” in paragraph two probably A．blessings B．complaints C．rumors D．praises 42．The author hasn’t finished the game yet because ________. A．he finds it too hard to clear all the quests and save the princess B．he is upset that the story may not end in the way he really wants C．he is reluctant to end the amazing adventure the game has brought him D．he is unsatisfied with the closure that the character is going to receive 43．According to the passage, what can be inferred about the author? A．He purchased the Nintendo Switch as soon as the product came out B．He is still playing the game, Breath of the Wild, in his spare time. C．He values the process of the game more than its result. D．He has lost interest in finishing the game, Breath of the Wild, in the future. 44．Based on the passage, which of the following best describes the author’s current attitude towards The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild? A．Indifferent, as he prefers the coming sequel ones B．Uninterested, he no longer considers replaying C．Content, as he enjoys the journey though not finishing it yet D．Skeptical, thinking they rarely live up to expectations 45．The purpose of the passage is to ________. A．explain why some players avoid completing games B．criticize game developers for poor story endings C．promote the unique gameplay of Breath of the Wild D．argue that difficulty levels ruin gaming experiences （2025年河西二模） Suzanne Heywood was just seven years old when her parents told her she, along with her younger brother Jonathan, would be pulled out of school to go on a three-year voyage around the world.

This remarkable challenge wasn’t just about running; for a whole year, it demonstrated the incredible strength of human-canine teamwork for a meaningful purpose. At 41, this charity worker’s daily routine pushes human limits. Each morning while London sleeps, Robinson rises at 3 am, laces up his running shoes, and sets out on his lonely 42.195-kilometer marathons — all before his full-time job. His mission? Raising funds for Hope for Justice, he works as an international communications manager combating human trafficking (人口贩卖). Robinson describes the experience as his real-life version of Groundhog Day (《土拨鼠之日》), encountering the same familiar faces and having similar conversations during his pre-dawn runs through Wanstead Park, Wanstead Flats and Epping Forest. His strict routine is fueled by a vegetarian, carb-heavy diet of bagels and cheese — a nutritional strategy that saw him initially drop 11kg before his weight stabilized as his body adapted to the incredible demands. Technology keeps him on track, with his progress closely monitored by a running app on his watch. Despite facing numerous challenges — from battling colds and flu to overcoming food poisoning — Robinson never missed a day. Remarkably, his body has held up well under the strain; while he's worn through four pairs of running shoes, his knees, hips and ankles remain injury-free. Robinson's early morning runs always brought surprises. He remembers almost crashing into a frightened cow in the dark, and often seeing litter scattered along his path. To keep things interesting, he created personal challenges — like treating himself to a chocolate bar every mile, or sometimes running barefoot just to change things up. His dogs River and Inca played a key role in keeping him going. He always paid close attention to their energy levels, ready to stop if they seemed tired. But the enthusiastic dogs never failed to match his pace. What truly drove Robinson was knowing how much charities like his needed support, especially during difficult economic times when donations were dropping. This is why he decided to do something special — he resolved to take on this Herculean challenge to support Hope for Justice’s vital work. Even after 365 straight marathons, he’s not stopping — now aiming to beat the 607-marathon record. For Robinson, every mile represents hope for others. With River and Inca beside him, each step moves him closer to creating meaningful change. 40．What drove Robinson to maintain his daily marathon challenge? A．To set a personal record. B．To raise funds for charity. C．To maintain a healthy lifestyle. D．To prepare his dogs for competitions. 41．What similarity does Robinson find between his marathons and Groundhog Day? A．Many friendly chats. B．Spiritual exploration. C．Daily repeating experiences. D．Diverse adventures each day. 42．What can we learn from Paragraph 4? A．He had to deal with his dogs’ high energy. B．He faced difficulties in finding different routes. C．He had to deal with a lot of physical discomfort. D．He faced difficulties in maintaining his energy levels. 43．What role do Robinson’s dogs play in his daily marathons? A．They support and accompany him. B．They challenge him to run barefoot. C．They provide him with entertainment. D．They help keep him safe when running. 44．What message does the story convey? A．Persistent effort makes a difference. B．Setting world records brings fame. C．Dogs are perfect running partners. D．Daily running keeps fit. （2025年红桥二模） Like many other students beginning graduate school, I was quickly charged with responsibilities and had to find time for studying by letting go of many other things I valued. Letting go of football and the violin was, however, self-defeating: it might have brought me more time in the short term, but spending that extra time on work only’ made me more stressed and less productive. Towards the end of the MSC (Master of Science program) started to lose my motivation and curiosity for science and research, as well as my creativity. Spending so much time and energy in the laboratory, and focusing all my attention on my thesis and courses, made me feel down and almost totally uninterested in my field - not to mention short-tempered and oversensitive in my personal communications. Over time, I learnt from these experiences. When I started my PhD, I focused on balancing academic success with personal time-off, and made personal happiness a priority (首要事情) in my weekly schedule. My mentor (导师) and I discussed my work-life balance early in my program, and we arrange our lab responsibilities accordingly. I set boundaries for myself in new ways: ‘rather than doing lab work all weekend, I’d play football or the violin, or visit loved ones, before allowing myself to work fora few hours. This was hard at first: I worried that it would affect my standing with my peers, and superiors, but I had learnt from experiences that an overloaded schedule can drain (使疲劳) you so much that you become unfocused and start making mistakes or forgetting important details. Since establishing a better work-life balance, I’ve been doing well in graduate school. Outside the lab, I’ve been able to take up a few leadership positions at my university because I’m not as stressed with my work. I serve as our department’s student councilor and I am also vice-president academic in the Health Sciences Graduate Students’ Association. My advice is this: a healthy work-life balance isn’t a luxury; it’s a key part of success in graduate programs. 41．What is the author’s problem? A．He must study hard to graduate. B．He must give up his hobby for study, C．He didn’t know how to study more effectively. D．He didn’t know how to deal with pressure. 42．Paragraph 2 shows ________. A．the challenges of an MSC program B．the consequences of giving up hobbies C．the benefits of focusing on schoolwork D．the importance of balancing study and hobbies 43．To balance academic and personal life, the author ________. A．asks his peers for help B．seeks to reduce his lab duties C．puts his hobbies first more often D．avoids schoolwork at weekends at all 44．When the author gets his hands too full, he ________. A．tends to put things on hold B．tends to lose the attention to details C．will lose his patience with his academic work D．will make a new schedule accordingly 45．What can be inferred from the author’s personal experience? A．It’s never too late to make a change in the university. B．It’s easy to be work-life balanced in our lives. C．Multi-tasking has many advantages in the university. D．Work-life balance is necessary in the university. （2025年河东二模） Michael and his wife, new residents in a San Francisco apartment, learned about their neighbor Jeff Dunan’s volunteer work for Bangladesh Relief, an organization that provides food, clothing and essential supplies for disadvantaged people in northern Bangladesh. Inspired, Michael donated $150 to Dunan’s GoFundMe campaign. However, a credit card notification alerted him to an unintended$15, 041 charge. When he saw the five-figure number, he was confused. Soon, it all made sense. Michael’s credit card number started with four and one. Clearly, he accidentally began typing his credit card information while his cursor (光标) was still in the donation box. Michael planned to call Dunan to explain, but before he had the chance to do that, he started receiving Facebook messages from Shohag Chandra, the charity’s Bangladesh-based program manager, thanking him for his generous donation. After he looked through the photos of people holding thank-you signs that read his name, Michael’s heart sank. He felt terrible that he had to withdraw his handsome donation. Once his original contribution was refunded, he decided to donate $1, 500. Although Michael had told his family and friends about the tale, he decided to share it publicly on social media, after Dunan told him the organization was desperately in need of funds. “The least I could do was take the time to post this story online and see if I could inspire other people to donate to the cause,” Michael said. Little did he know, though, that the story would be seen far and wide, ending up raising more than $120, 000 for Bangladesh Relief in the span of only a few weeks — about eight times Michael’s mistaken donation. According to Dunan, more than 3, 700 people have contributed because of Michael’s post. Michael has been stunned (震惊) by the ongoing outpouring of support. “Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine this reaction,” he said. “People can be amazing when they come together for something like this.” 41．How did Michael make the large donation? A．He input an incorrect amount. B．He encountered a system error. C．He was greatly inspired by Dunan. D．He entered wrong credit card details. 42．Why did Michael’s heart sink according to Paragraph 3?

C．The organization’s urgent need for funds. D．Pressure from his family and friends. 44．What message does the story convey? A．Actions speak louder than words. B．Many hands make light work. C．Always prepare for a rainy day. D．A good beginning is half of victory. 45．What can be inferred about Michael’s decision to donate $1, 500 after receiving a refund? A．He wanted to avoid public embarrassment. B．He was inspired by the charity’s gratitude. C．He intended to correct his initial mistake. D．He faced pressure from family and friends. （2025年十二校二模） A few years ago, we bought a model Lego (乐高) set of the Taj Mahal (泰姬陵) for my dad’s birthday, hoping to combine his love for architecture with family time as our lives grew busier. Each evening, my dad and I gathered around the large dining table to plan our line of attack. We faced thousands of tiny white pieces, each packaged with accuracy in numbered plastic bags, accompanied by a thick instruction booklet. The evenings passed quickly, and the building rose before our eyes. We could see our efforts coming to fruition, and as we turned to the tedious (乏味的) task of ordering the colored tiles (地砖) on the building’s floor, our conversation too took a turn. We were struck by the similarities — and differences — between Lego blocks and life. We were amazed by how complex the model was and its instruction booklet. We realized the booklet itself was a work of art, beautiful, but also surprisingly detailed and clear. It provided us with the comfort of certainty. We knew if we followed all the instructions, we would end up with a model that looked exactly like the picture on the box. If we made a mistake, all we had to do was retrace our steps, flip back the pages and start again. Life, however, does not fit together so neatly and rarely provides us with such clear instructions. We talked over our respective lives, decisions made, and actions and choices never taken. Dad reflected on a life well lived, and I, in my mid-thirties, on the uncertain path that lay ahead. Here, we were the expert architects doing the assembling (组装), but out in the world, we were the ones being assembled. We think we’re in control, but our choices are shaped by forces beyond our control. In the face of uncertainty, we have to continue, trusting both in the process and the end result. Sometimes, on the days I return home, I go to the spare room to look at the completed Lego model, which brings forth a sense of happiness and comfort. It reminds me that life is built slowly, with mistakes, an element of uncertainty and no instruction book. It shows that consideration, warmth and faith will result in a life well lived. Like the now dusty replica (复制品), life itself is not about what we materially create or leave behind, but rather how we lived it. 41．Why did the author buy the Lego Taj Mahal set? A．To explore architectural designs. B．To release pressure from busy work. C．To celebrate the father’s birthday. D．To teach the children about history. 42．Which of the following best describes the author’s experience building the Lego set? A．Simple and tedious. B．Creative and enjoyable. C．Complex and rewarding. D．Challenging and frustrating. 43．What life lesson does the author draw from assembling the Lego model? A．Mistakes in life can always be corrected timely. B．Life’s uncertainties make it much more exciting. C．Life requires careful planning as well as adjustment. D．Life’s uncontrollable nature should be embraced. 44．What does the completed Lego model symbolize for the author? A．The pleasure of family bonding. B．The journey of living one’s life. C．The value of hard work in life. D．The achievement of life goals. 45．What is the author’s purpose of writing the passage? A．To compare assembling Lego blocks to handling life. B．To describe the process of building a Lego model. C．To reflect on the importance of family interaction. D．To discuss the challenges of following instructions. （2025年部分区二模） “Are you okay?” My brother Matthew asked from the driver’s seat as we hung upside down, trapped by our seat belts and covered in sand. Off-roading driving adventure on 85,000 acres of hills of sand in California had become our tradition. I felt the blood rushing to my head, my heart pounding like the loud bass (低音吉他) in a car. It reminded me of the four bass-loving brothers who lived across from us growing up. As a little girl, I often wondered if Matthew and I would ever have their friendship. When Matthew found out he was to have a baby brother, he was over the moon. But to everyone’s surprise, “It’s a girl!” His disappointment was obvious. As soon as I could walk, my big brother was everything to me, my idol. But to him, I was an annoyance, though he found comfort in playing tricks on me. Yet, I put up with it, waiting for moments when he’d reach out from his loneliness. The brother-sister relationship is unique, and it’s often the longest relationship we have in our entire lives. After learning that I missed him, Matthew unexpectedly invited me to visit him at university. In his room, he handed me a drink. We didn’t need many words; as siblings, we had a simple way of chatting. He knew about my struggles — the family secrets — and became my rock. Years later, when I was left out from the family Thanksgiving, he refused to attend without me. Instead, we had dinner — just the two of us. My big brother, who used to be a bit mean to me, had become my protector and friend. But after our off-roading accident, I saw him differently — vulnerable and unprotected. “Are you okay? Are you bleeding?” I checked his injuries. The man I’d seen as strong was now human, delicate. As we got ourselves back upright, I realized it was time for me to be his protector. Our shared bond had grown even deeper. I looked at my big brother, and we both smiled. Without him, my life would be unimaginably different. It was my turn to protect him. Thankfully, we had let each other in. 41．Why did the author mention the four bass-loving brothers in the first paragraph? A．To highlight her admiration for their musical taste. B．To show her childhood longing for brotherly friendship. C．To explain the reason for her initial distance from Mathew. D．To illustrate the noisy environment of their childhood. 42．What did the author think of Matthew in her childhood? A．He was admiring. B．He was lonely. C．He was easy-going. D．He was annoying. 43．How did the author feel when hearing Matthew’s invitation? A．Worried. B．Surprised. C．Honored.

C．He understood and accepted the fact. D．He accompanied her to dine elsewhere. 45．What did the author realize about her brother after the accident? A．He was different from her. B．He was not physically strong. C．He also needed protection. D．He depended much on her. （2025年九校二模） In October 2024, I went deep-sea diving with my daughter twelve kilometers off the coast of Pondicherry. The funny but upsetting part was that I couldn’t swim. Assured by the organizer’s that swimming wasn’t necessary, I reluctantly agreed. The previous day, we trained in a water tank with the suit and mask, familiarizing ourselves with the equipment and learning how to breathe underwater. Though I felt slightly more confident afterward, an undercurrent (潜在的情绪) of fear still remained. The next morning, the sea was rough. The sky was overcast, a light drizzle (毛毛雨) fell, and the wind howled through the air. The waves crashed aggressively against the boat, making it sway unpredictably. I held the railing tightly, feeling sick to my stomach—not just from nerves but also from the violent motion of the boat. A small part of me wanted to back out. The fear of the unknown grew large and I questioned whether I was truly prepared for this. However, my daughter’s encouragement and the comfort of the dive instructors gave me the push I needed to continue. A guide explained that a thick rope extended from the boat to the seabed. All I had to do was hold onto it, and the instructors would ensure our safety. Taking a deep breath, I adjusted my mask and slowly descended. At first, panic threatened to take over as I felt the resistance of the water and heard nothing but the sound of my own breathing through the oxygen tank. But then, something incredible happened. The farther I went, the calmer it became. Several meters below the surface, the chaos above disappeared. The water was still, bright. and stunningly clear. The uncertainty, noise, and anxiety I had felt moments ago seemed like a distant memory. Schools of colorful fish sailed past effortlessly, swaying with the gentle underwater current. Coral formations of brilliant colors stretched out like an intricate, living cloth. I felt weightless, surrounded by an entirely different world-one that revealed peace and beauty. At that moment, my fear melted completely. I no longer wanted to return to the surface. I realized that inner peace, like the depths of the ocean, is always there—waiting. It is only when we dive deep within ourselves that we can access it, even when chaos rages above. 41．Why did the author think she was unprepared for the dive? A．Because of the safe diving equipment. B．Due to the heavy drizzle. C．Due to the comfort by her daughter. D．Because of the fear of the unknown. 42．What did the author discover of the underwater world according to Paragraph 4? A．Its calm and beauty. B．Its uncertainty and chaos. C．Its intricate cloth. D．Its colorless fish. 43．How does the author feel in the end? A．Regretful. B．Satisfied. C．Frightened. D．Indifferent. 44．What does the underlined word “it” refer to in the last paragraph? A．A state of inner peace. B．The chaos above. C．The depths of the ocean. D．A return to the surface. 45．In which column can we probably find the article? A．Health care. B．Food security. C．Sports event. D．Life experiences. （2025年耀华二模） One of the most important people in the world of robotics is not a conventional roboticist, but a science-fiction writer: Isaac Asimov. He coined the word “robotics”, invented the famous Three Laws, which govern the relation of robots to their human masters, and passed on many myths that affect the way we feel about robots today. What was it, though, that opened up such new worlds to the writer in the very beginning? Born in the rural village of Petrovichi, Russia, in 1920, Isaac moved to Brooklyn with his parents when he was three years old. Making a go of life in the United States turned out to be tougher than the family had expected. It took them three years to save up enough money for a down payment on a small candy store. As a kid, Isaac worked long hours in the store where he became interested in one attraction that pulled in customers: pulp science fiction magazines featuring death rays and alien worlds. Soon after the first rocket launches in the mid-1920s, scientists announced that space travel had become possible, opening the door to exciting tales of adventure in outer space. Atomic energy-the source of the death rays-was also coming into public eye as a potential “super weapon”. But few people actually believed that they would be able to see either atomic bombs or space travel during their lifetime. Neither did Isaac’s father. While the science fiction magazines sold like hot cakes, he considered them to be out-and-out junk. Young Isaac was not allowed to waste time reading about things that did not exist and never would. Despite his father’s objections, Isaac began secretly reading every pulp magazine that appeared in the store, handling each one so carefully that Asimov Senior never knew they had been opened. Isaac finally managed to convince his father that one of the magazines, Science Wonder Stories, had educational value-after all, the word “science” was in the title. At the age of 18, Isaac read the magazine Astounding Science Fiction and tried writing a story of his own. He took the subway and submitted the story in person to the magazine’s famous editor, John Campbell. It was rejected, but Campbell encouraged the young man to send him more. Isaac kept writing and about four months later he managed to sell a story. Then two more, including one that broke him into Astounding Science Fiction. And the rest is history. By the end of his writing career, Isaac was credited with producing more than 500 books on a wide range of subjects, reaching out not only to distant galaxies but also to the distant past for inspiration. 46．The following statements are all true EXCEPT ________. A．Isaac Asimov was a productive science fiction writer B．Isaac Asimov was a Russian immigrant to America C．Isaac Asimov used to work as an amateur roboticist D．Isaac Asimov created the Three Laws of Robotics 47．Why did atomic energy come into public eye in the 1920s? A．Because people read science fiction stories featuring death rays. B．Because the first rocket was launched during this period. C．Because stories about space adventure were very popular. D．Because the it had the potential to become a super weapon 48．Isaac’s father discouraged his son from reading science fiction magazines because ________. A．they depicted life in alien worlds and death rays B．he thought that the stories were poorly written C．these magazines didn’t bring in satisfying profits D．the young boy had to work long hours in their store 49．According to the article, Isaac ended up selling his first story ________. A．thanks to the support and guidance of his father B．to the magazine Astounding Science Fiction C．when he was still a student in high school D．about four months after he met John Campbell 50．Much of Isaac’s initial success could be credited to his ________. A．high intelligence B．artistic creativity C．extensive knowledge D．remarkable persistence （2025年新华二模） Do you think cookies can tell stories? Jasmine Cho, 35, does. A baker, artist, entrepreneur and activist, Cho tries to spread knowledge about social justice issues and diversity through the delicious medium of cookies. It was in high school that she discovered her love of baking. At a sleepover a friend taught her how to make a dessert, “sort of demystifying baking and that whole process”. Later, Cho realized her second passion: learning more about her Asian, American culture. An elective in college that taught Asian-American immigrant experiences brought an emotional moment for her. “So many emotions came up that I just couldn’t articulate. It was like this mix of anger, relief, empowerment, sadness...” Cho said. Cho realized she could combine these two passions to educate others about influential Asian-American people and showcase matters that were important to her. With her online bakery, she designed cookie portraits about people she admired and posted the images on Instagram. “I don’t think I ever really knew how to communicate these stories until I found cookies,” Cho said. “Cookies are just so disarming. Who doesn’t like cookies?” One cookie that Cho has identified with deeply is one she made of George Helm, a Hawaiian activist in the 1970s. “It’s insane the amount of injustice that the native Hawaiian population has faced as well through the whole annexation (吞并) of the kingdom. There were so many horrific stories that I heard about nuclear testing and the fallout (核爆炸后的沉降物) impacting native Hawaiian populations in all of this,” Cho said, “George Helm was one of those activists who really represented the spirituality of the native Hawaiians and the connection to their land, to nature.” Among her amazing cookie art are other political figures such as Larry Itliong, a Filipino-American labor organizer, and pop culture figures such as Keanu Reeves, a Canadian actor. Cho hopes her cookie art continues to inspire people to be creative and think positively. “Instead of trying to think of something new and original, just look inward and see, maybe there’s already a passion or a love that you have,” Cho said. “Use that for something that will serve the world in a better way.” 41．What inspired Cho to take an interest in Asian-American culture? A．One of her sleepover experiences. B．One elective she took at college. C．The process of learning baking from her friend. D．A book she read about Asian-American immigrant experiences. 42．The underlined word “articulate” in Paragraph 4 probably mean _________. A．get rid of B．put up with C．express in words D．stay focused 43．What is the author’s purpose in mentioning George Helm in the passage? A．To inform the reader of Helm’s contributions to Hawaii. B．To show what knowledge Cho focuses on with her cookies. C．To introduce the spirituality of native Hawaiians. D．To explain why Cho is interested in political activists. 44．What approach does Cho recommend to make a difference? A．Making use of your passion. B．Turning to political figures for help C．Trying to do something creative and special. D．Asking people around to work along with you. 45．What can best summarize the message contained in the passage? A．Think outside the box to break new ground. B．Spread something original to one’s heart content. C．Hold your horses for a better self. D．Throw yourself into your inner world for a better one. 1 / 37 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 专题04 阅读理解（记叙文） （2025年和平二模） Some games are destined to live in your memory forever. These are the ones that become instant classics; people talk about them for years after release, sometimes even decades. They appear on every best-of list and get played and replayed over and over again. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is one of these games. First released as a launch title for the Nintendo Switch in 2017, people are still discovering Breath of the Wild four years later. I first picked up the game about six months after Nintendo Switch came out-the earliest I could finally get my hands on the console (游戏机). It was late enough to have heard the accolades but before it had been regarded as one of best video games of all time. I loved every second. It was tough, but worth pushing through. I’ve done most of what there is to do. But there’s one big thing I haven’t done: beat the game. I’ve completed all the story quests (任务) up to the ending. I’ve even wandered the castle. But I can’t bring myself to save the princess. Every time I decide I’m going to take the plunge (毅然决定) , I throw my controller aside. I can’t bring myself to do it. If I beat Breath of the Wild, the adventure is over. As long as I avoid finishing it, there’s still something new to discover. Chances are, I’m not alone. Surely other gamers do this-and not just with Breath of the Wild. This isn’t about losing interest; it’s wanting to always have more left to play. This refusal to complete a game might sound ridiculous. But let’s be real: It’s not uncommon for the ending to be far from the best part. Too often, I’ve been upset about the way a story ended or that a character didn’t get the closure I really wanted. Only recently did I realize those things didn’t really matter; the point of a game is the quest itself, not the ending, so why bother rushing through it? I’m not sure if I’ll ever finish Breath of the Wild. At this point I’m not going to dive back into the game because I’ve completely forgotten what to do and how to do it. I have vague (模糊的) plans to replay it before the sequel (续集) comes out, but for now I’m fine with not having finished this Zelda variant (系列). 41．The underlined word “accolades” in paragraph two probably A．blessings B．complaints C．rumors D．praises 42．The author hasn’t finished the game yet because ________. A．he finds it too hard to clear all the quests and save the princess B．he is upset that the story may not end in the way he really wants C．he is reluctant to end the amazing adventure the game has brought him D．he is unsatisfied with the closure that the character is going to receive 43．According to the passage, what can be inferred about the author? A．He purchased the Nintendo Switch as soon as the product came out B．He is still playing the game, Breath of the Wild, in his spare time. C．He values the process of the game more than its result. D．He has lost interest in finishing the game, Breath of the Wild, in the future. 44．Based on the passage, which of the following best describes the author’s current attitude towards The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild? A．Indifferent, as he prefers the coming sequel ones B．Uninterested, he no longer considers replaying C．Content, as he enjoys the journey though not finishing it yet D．Skeptical, thinking they rarely live up to expectations 45．The purpose of the passage is to ________. A．explain why some players avoid completing games B．criticize game developers for poor story endings C．promote the unique gameplay of Breath of the Wild D．argue that difficulty levels ruin gaming experiences 【答案】41．D 42．C 43．C 44．C 45．A 【知识点】哲理感悟、游戏、夹叙夹议 【导语】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者以《塞尔达传说：旷野之息》为例，阐述自己及部分玩家拒绝通关游戏的原因，强调享受过程而非结局 。 41．词句猜测题。根据第二段中“It was late enough to have heard the accolades but before it had been regarded as one of best video games of all time.(时间已经比较晚了，我已经听到了accolades，但此时它还没有被认为是有史以来最好的电子游戏之一。)”，结合前文提到这款游戏人们会谈论很多年，且根据后面“被认为是有史以来最好的电子游戏之一”可推测，accolades应该是表示“好的评价、赞扬”的意思。故选D。 42．细节理解题。根据第三段中“If I beat Breath of the Wild, the adventure is over. As long as I avoid finishing it, there’s still something new to discover.(如果我通关了《塞尔达传说：旷野之息》，这场冒险就结束了。只要我不完成它，就仍然有新的东西可以去发现。)” 可知，作者还没有完成游戏是因为他不愿意结束这款游戏带给他的精彩冒险。故选C。 43．推理判断题。根据第四段中“Only recently did I realize those things didn’t really matter; the point of a game is the quest itself, not the ending, so why bother rushing through it?(直到最近我才意识到那些事情其实并不重要；游戏的重点是任务本身，而不是结局，所以为什么要急着通关呢？)”可知，作者认为游戏的过程比结果更重要。故选C。 44．推理判断题。根据最后一段“I’m not sure if I’ll ever finish Breath of the Wild. At this point I’m not going to dive back into the game because I’ve completely forgotten what to do and how to do it. I have vague (模糊的) plans to replay it before the sequel (续集) comes out, but for now I’m fine with not having finished this Zelda variant (系列).(我不确定我是否会完成《塞尔达传说：旷野之息》。在这一点上，我不打算再重新玩这个游戏了，因为我已经完全忘记了该做什么以及怎么做。我有一个模糊的计划，在续作出来之前重玩它，但目前我对还没有完成这个《塞尔达》系列感到没什么问题。)”可知，作者虽然没有完成游戏，但他很享受这个过程，目前对此感到满足。故选C。 45．推理判断题。通读全文可知，文章主要讲述了作者玩《塞尔达传说：旷野之息》这款游戏却没有通关的经历，以及解释了自己不想通关的原因，并且提到其他玩家也可能有类似情况，还阐述了游戏的重点是过程而非结局。结合第三段“Chances are, I’m not alone. Surely other gamers do this-and not just with Breath of the Wild. This isn’t about losing interest; it’s wanting to always have more left to play.(很有可能，我不是一个人。肯定其他玩家也会这样做 —— 而且不只是在《塞尔达传说：旷野之息》这款游戏上。这不是失去兴趣的问题；而是想要总是有更多的内容可以玩。)”可知，文章的目的是解释为什么一些玩家会避免完成游戏。故选A。 （2025年河西二模） Suzanne Heywood was just seven years old when her parents told her she, along with her younger brother Jonathan, would be pulled out of school to go on a three-year voyage around the world. The family of four from the UK set out on their exploration to recreate Captain Cook’s voyage around the globe, which ended up taking a decade instead of the promised three years. Now 55 years old, Suzanne has shared her tale of survival on TikTok, and recalled her 10 years at sea in her tell-all memoir Wave Walker. “I spent that time trapped on a boat, unable to go to school or have normal friendships.” Despite her father assuring her the trip would be safe, Suzanne claimed it was “incredibly dangerous but great as well”, sharing details of a risky journey from South Africa to Australia where the boat hit an enormous storm.

(来自英国的一家四口踏上了他们的探索之旅，想要重现库克船长的环球航行，结果这次航行最终花了十年时间，而不是当初承诺的三年)” 可知，Suzanne一家开始航行是为了重现库克船长的环球航行，也就是追随这位伟大探险家的脚步。故选D。 42．词句猜测题。根据第二段“Now 55 years old, Suzanne has shared her tale of survival on TikTok, and recalled her 10 years at sea in her tell-all memoir Wave Walker. “I spent that time trapped on a boat, unable to go to school or have normal friendships.(现在55岁的Suzanne在TikTok上分享了她的生存故事，并在她的详尽讲述的memoir《Wave Walker》中回忆了她在海上的10年时光。“我那段时间被困在船上，无法上学，也无法拥有正常的友谊。”)” 可知，《Wave Walker》回忆了她在海上的10年时光，所以“memoir”指的是她个人的经历。故选A。 43．推理判断题。根据第三段中“As it became clear my parents had no intention of going back, I decided I had to educate myself as it was the only lifeline that I had (当很明显我的父母没有回去的打算时，我决定我必须自学，因为这是我唯一的生命线)” 以及她想要过上正常生活的想法可推知，教育对Suzanne来说是为更好未来而奋斗的一种手段。故选C。 44．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Suzanne’s extraordinary tale has captured the hearts of millions, with thousands of online fans applauding her for her bravery.(Suzanne非凡的故事俘获了数百万人的心，成千上万的网友称赞她的勇敢)”以及前文提到她在独特的海上生活经历中努力自学并取得成就可推知，独特的生活经历可以赋予一个人特殊的品质，使她能够克服困难并取得成就。故选C。 45．推理判断题。文章主要讲述了Suzanne从七岁开始随家人航海，在航行中自学，进入牛津大学，分享自己的故事并获得成功等经历。作者写这篇文章的目的是记录她非凡的人生旅程并激励他人。故选B。 （2025年河北二模） On Sunday morning in London, Aaron Robinson achieved something incredible — he successfully ran 365 marathons in 365 days in a row, always accompanied by his border collies (牧羊犬) River and Inca, energetic partners that never seemed to tire. This remarkable challenge wasn’t just about running; for a whole year, it demonstrated the incredible strength of human-canine teamwork for a meaningful purpose. At 41, this charity worker’s daily routine pushes human limits. Each morning while London sleeps, Robinson rises at 3 am, laces up his running shoes, and sets out on his lonely 42.195-kilometer marathons — all before his full-time job. His mission? Raising funds for Hope for Justice, he works as an international communications manager combating human trafficking (人口贩卖). Robinson describes the experience as his real-life version of Groundhog Day (《土拨鼠之日》), encountering the same familiar faces and having similar conversations during his pre-dawn runs through Wanstead Park, Wanstead Flats and Epping Forest. His strict routine is fueled by a vegetarian, carb-heavy diet of bagels and cheese — a nutritional strategy that saw him initially drop 11kg before his weight stabilized as his body adapted to the incredible demands. Technology keeps him on track, with his progress closely monitored by a running app on his watch. Despite facing numerous challenges — from battling colds and flu to overcoming food poisoning — Robinson never missed a day. Remarkably, his body has held up well under the strain; while he's worn through four pairs of running shoes, his knees, hips and ankles remain injury-free. Robinson's early morning runs always brought surprises. He remembers almost crashing into a frightened cow in the dark, and often seeing litter scattered along his path. To keep things interesting, he created personal challenges — like treating himself to a chocolate bar every mile, or sometimes running barefoot just to change things up. His dogs River and Inca played a key role in keeping him going. He always paid close attention to their energy levels, ready to stop if they seemed tired. But the enthusiastic dogs never failed to match his pace. What truly drove Robinson was knowing how much charities like his needed support, especially during difficult economic times when donations were dropping. This is why he decided to do something special — he resolved to take on this Herculean challenge to support Hope for Justice’s vital work. Even after 365 straight marathons, he’s not stopping — now aiming to beat the 607-marathon record. For Robinson, every mile represents hope for others. With River and Inca beside him, each step moves him closer to creating meaningful change. 40．What drove Robinson to maintain his daily marathon challenge? A．To set a personal record. B．To raise funds for charity. C．To maintain a healthy lifestyle. D．To prepare his dogs for competitions. 41．What similarity does Robinson find between his marathons and Groundhog Day? A．Many friendly chats. B．Spiritual exploration. C．Daily repeating experiences. D．Diverse adventures each day. 42．What can we learn from Paragraph 4? A．He had to deal with his dogs’ high energy. B．He faced difficulties in finding different routes. C．He had to deal with a lot of physical discomfort. D．He faced difficulties in maintaining his energy levels. 43．What role do Robinson’s dogs play in his daily marathons? A．They support and accompany him. B．They challenge him to run barefoot. C．They provide him with entertainment. D．They help keep him safe when running. 44．What message does the story convey? A．Persistent effort makes a difference. B．Setting world records brings fame. C．Dogs are perfect running partners. D．Daily running keeps fit. 【答案】40．B 41．C 42．C 43．A 44．A 【知识点】体育健身 、记叙文 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了慈善工作者Aaron Robinson连续365天每天跑马拉松为慈善机构筹款的故事，体现了他的坚持和人与狗之间的团队合作精神。 40．细节理解题。根据第二段“His mission? Raising funds for Hope for Justice, he works as an international communications manager combating human trafficking (人口贩卖).(他的使命？为“希望正义”组织筹集资金，他是一名打击人口贩卖的国际传播经理)”可知，驱使Robinson坚持每天跑马拉松挑战的原因是为慈善机构筹集资金。故选B项。 41．细节理解题。根据第三段“Robinson describes the experience as his real-life version of Groundhog Day (《土拨鼠之日》), encountering the same familiar faces and having similar conversations during his pre-dawn runs through Wanstead Park, Wanstead Flats and Epping Forest(Robinson将这段经历描述为现实生活中的《土拨鼠之日》，在黎明前他跑过万斯特德公园、万斯特德公寓和埃平森林时，遇到熟悉的面孔，进行类似的对话)”可知，Robinson觉得自己跑马拉松的经历和《土拨鼠之日》的相似之处在于每天重复的经历，会遇到熟悉的人和进行类似的对话。故选C项。 42．细节理解题。根据第四段“Despite facing numerous challenges — from battling colds and flu to overcoming food poisoning — Robinson never missed a day(尽管面临着许多挑战——从对抗感冒和流感到克服食物中毒——Robinson从未错过一天)”可知，Robinson在跑马拉松的过程中不得不应对身体上的不适，如感冒、流感和食物中毒等。故选C项。 43．推理判断题。根据第一段“On Sunday morning in London, Aaron Robinson achieved something incredible — he successfully ran 365 marathons in 365 days in a row, always accompanied by his border collies (牧羊犬) River and Inca, energetic partners that never seemed to tire.

Letting go of football and the violin was, however, self-defeating: it might have brought me more time in the short term, but spending that extra time on work only’ made me more stressed and less productive. Towards the end of the MSC (Master of Science program) started to lose my motivation and curiosity for science and research, as well as my creativity. Spending so much time and energy in the laboratory, and focusing all my attention on my thesis and courses, made me feel down and almost totally uninterested in my field - not to mention short-tempered and oversensitive in my personal communications. Over time, I learnt from these experiences. When I started my PhD, I focused on balancing academic success with personal time-off, and made personal happiness a priority (首要事情) in my weekly schedule. My mentor (导师) and I discussed my work-life balance early in my program, and we arrange our lab responsibilities accordingly. I set boundaries for myself in new ways: ‘rather than doing lab work all weekend, I’d play football or the violin, or visit loved ones, before allowing myself to work fora few hours. This was hard at first: I worried that it would affect my standing with my peers, and superiors, but I had learnt from experiences that an overloaded schedule can drain (使疲劳) you so much that you become unfocused and start making mistakes or forgetting important details. Since establishing a better work-life balance, I’ve been doing well in graduate school. Outside the lab, I’ve been able to take up a few leadership positions at my university because I’m not as stressed with my work. I serve as our department’s student councilor and I am also vice-president academic in the Health Sciences Graduate Students’ Association. My advice is this: a healthy work-life balance isn’t a luxury; it’s a key part of success in graduate programs. 41．What is the author’s problem? A．He must study hard to graduate. B．He must give up his hobby for study, C．He didn’t know how to study more effectively. D．He didn’t know how to deal with pressure. 42．Paragraph 2 shows ________. A．the challenges of an MSC program B．the consequences of giving up hobbies C．the benefits of focusing on schoolwork D．the importance of balancing study and hobbies 43．To balance academic and personal life, the author ________. A．asks his peers for help B．seeks to reduce his lab duties C．puts his hobbies first more often D．avoids schoolwork at weekends at all 44．When the author gets his hands too full, he ________. A．tends to put things on hold B．tends to lose the attention to details C．will lose his patience with his academic work D．will make a new schedule accordingly 45．What can be inferred from the author’s personal experience? A．It’s never too late to make a change in the university. B．It’s easy to be work-life balanced in our lives. C．Multi-tasking has many advantages in the university. D．Work-life balance is necessary in the university. 【答案】41．B 42．B 43．C 44．B 45．D 【分析】这是一篇夹叙夹议的文章，通过讲述作者自身的经历，论述了平衡工作和生活的重要性。 41．细节理解题。由文章第一段“Letting go of football and the violin was, however, self-defeating: it might have brought me more time in the short term, but spending that extra time on work only’ made me more stressed and less productive.”放弃足球和小提琴却会弄巧成拙:它可能会在短期内给我带来更多时间，但把多余的时间花在工作上只会“让我压力更大，效率更低”。可知，作者遇到的问题是，他必须放弃自己的爱好来抓紧时间学习。故选B项。 42．细节理解题。根据文章第二段可知，在MSC快结束的时候，作者开始失去了对科学和研究的动力和好奇心，也失去了创造力。在实验室里花了那么多时间和精力，把所有的注意力都集中在论文和课程上，这让作者情绪低落，对自己的领域几乎完全不感兴趣——更别提在个人交流中脾气暴躁、过于敏感了。可知，本段表明了作者放弃自己爱好的结果。故选B项。 43．细节理解题。由文章第三段“When I started my PhD, I focused on balancing academic success with personal time-off, and made personal happiness a priority (首要事情) in my weekly schedule. ” 当我开始我的博士学位，我专注于平衡学术成就和个人时生活，并使个人幸福优先(首要事情)在我每周的日程安排。可知，作者为了平衡学术成就和个人生活更多的把自己的爱好放在第一位。故选C项。 44．推理判断题。由文章倒数第二段“I had learnt from experiences that an overloaded schedule can drain (使疲劳) you so much that you become unfocused and start making mistakes or forgetting important details.” 我从经验中学到一个过载的时间表可以使你如此疲劳以至于使你变得无失去注意力，开始犯错误或忘记重要的细节。可以推断，当作者手头工作太多时，他会容易忽视细节。故选B项。 45．推理判断题。文章通过讲述自己的经历，放弃爱好专注学习使作者压力更大、效率更低，之后通过自己的经历认识到了要注意工作和生活的平衡；尤其是文章最后一段“a healthy work-life balance isn’t a luxury; it’s a key part of success in graduate programs.” 健康的工作与生活平衡不是一种奢侈，这是研究生课程成功的关键部分。可以推断，根据作者的经验，我们可以知道工作与生活的平衡在大学是必要的。故选D项。 【点睛】细节理解题主要考查考生对某句话或某几句话的理解，同学们若能根据题干内容从原文中找到相关的句子，然后进行比较和分析，便可确定最佳答案。多数情况下，作者不会明确的呈现一个事实，读者需要根据已有的信息进行处理，读出言外之意。还要特别注意文章的时间顺序、故事发生的地点、情节的发展和人物之间的关系。例如，第3题文章中，由文章第三段“When I started my PhD, I focused on balancing academic success with personal time-off, and made personal happiness a priority (首要事情) in my weekly schedule. ” 当我开始我的博士学位，我专注于平衡学术成就和个人时生活，并使个人幸福优先(首要事情)在我每周的日程安排。可知，作者为了平衡学术成就和个人生活更多的把自己的爱好放在第一位。故选C项。 （2025年河东二模） Michael and his wife, new residents in a San Francisco apartment, learned about their neighbor Jeff Dunan’s volunteer work for Bangladesh Relief, an organization that provides food, clothing and essential supplies for disadvantaged people in northern Bangladesh. Inspired, Michael donated $150 to Dunan’s GoFundMe campaign. However, a credit card notification alerted him to an unintended$15, 041 charge. When he saw the five-figure number, he was confused. Soon, it all made sense. Michael’s credit card number started with four and one. Clearly, he accidentally began typing his credit card information while his cursor (光标) was still in the donation box. Michael planned to call Dunan to explain, but before he had the chance to do that, he started receiving Facebook messages from Shohag Chandra, the charity’s Bangladesh-based program manager, thanking him for his generous donation. After he looked through the photos of people holding thank-you signs that read his name, Michael’s heart sank. He felt terrible that he had to withdraw his handsome donation. Once his original contribution was refunded, he decided to donate $1, 500. Although Michael had told his family and friends about the tale, he decided to share it publicly on social media, after Dunan told him the organization was desperately in need of funds. “The least I could do was take the time to post this story online and see if I could inspire other people to donate to the cause,” Michael said. Little did he know, though, that the story would be seen far and wide, ending up raising more than $120, 000 for Bangladesh Relief in the span of only a few weeks — about eight times Michael’s mistaken donation. According to Dunan, more than 3, 700 people have contributed because of Michael’s post. Michael has been stunned (震惊) by the ongoing outpouring of support. “Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine this reaction,” he said. “People can be amazing when they come together for something like this.” 41．How did Michael make the large donation? A．He input an incorrect amount. B．He encountered a system error. C．He was greatly inspired by Dunan. D．He entered wrong credit card details. 42．Why did Michael’s heart sink according to Paragraph 3? A．He saw people in despair. B．He failed to offer enough money. C．He didn’t receive the full refund. D．He realized the scale of his mistake. 43．What motivated Michael to share the story on social media? A．Dunan’s request for publicity. B．A desire for personal recognition. C．The organization’s urgent need for funds. D．Pressure from his family and friends. 44．What message does the story convey? A．Actions speak louder than words. B．Many hands make light work. C．Always prepare for a rainy day. D．A good beginning is half of victory. 45．What can be inferred about Michael’s decision to donate $1, 500 after receiving a refund? A．He wanted to avoid public embarrassment. B．He was inspired by the charity’s gratitude. C．He intended to correct his initial mistake. D．He faced pressure from family and friends. 【答案】41．A 42．D 43．C 44．B 45．B 【知识点】记叙文、善行义举（个人） 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了迈克尔和妻子搬到旧金山的公寓后，了解到邻居杰夫・杜南为孟加拉国救济组织做志愿者工作，迈克尔向该组织捐款时误输金额，本想撤回却因看到组织的感谢而决定再次捐款，最后他将自己的经历分享到社交媒体上，为该组织筹集到大量资金的故事。 41．细节理解题。根据第二段“Michael’s credit card number started with four and one. Clearly, he accidentally began typing his credit card information while his cursor (光标) was still in the donation box. (迈克尔的信用卡号码以 4 和 1 开头。很明显，当他的光标还在捐款框中时，他不小心开始输入他的信用卡信息。)” 可知，迈克尔是因为输入了错误的金额才导致了大额捐款。故选A。 42．细节理解题。根据第三段“After he looked through the photos of people holding thank - you signs that read his name, Michael’s heart sank. He felt terrible that he had to withdraw his handsome donation. (在他看了人们举着写有他名字的感谢牌的照片后，迈克尔的心一沉。他为不得不撤回他的大笔捐款而感到难过。)” 可知，迈克尔意识到了自己错误的严重性，所以心一沉。故选D。 43．细节理解题。根据第四段“Although Michael had told his family and friends about the tale, he decided to share it publicly on social media, after Dunan told him the organization was desperately in need of funds. (尽管迈克尔已经把这件事告诉了他的家人和朋友，但在杜南告诉他该组织急需资金后，他决定在社交媒体上公开分享这件事。)” 可知，是该组织急需资金促使迈克尔在社交媒体上分享这个故事。故选C。 44．推理判断题。根据最后一段 “Little did he know, though, that the story would be seen far and wide, ending up raising more than $120, 000 for Bangladesh Relief in the span of only a few weeks — about eight times Michael’s mistaken donation. According to Dunan, more than 3, 700 people have contributed because of Michael’s post. (然而，他不知道的是，这个故事将会被广泛传播，最终在短短几周内为孟加拉救济组织筹集了超过 12 万美元 —— 大约是迈克尔误捐金额的八倍。据杜南说，因为迈克尔的帖子，超过 3700 人进行了捐款。)”可知，文章讲述了迈克尔的一个无意之举，通过在社交媒体上分享，引发了众多人的关注和捐款，最终为孟加拉国救济组织筹集到了大量资金，体现了众人拾柴火焰高的道理。故选B。 45．推理判断题。根据第三段“After he looked through the photos of people holding thank-you signs that read his name, Michael’s heart sank. He felt terrible that he had to withdraw his handsome donation. Once his original contribution was refunded, he decided to donate $1, 500. (在浏览了那些举着写有他名字的感谢牌的照片后，迈克尔的心沉了下来。他不得不撤回他慷慨的捐款，这让他非常难过。一旦他最初的捐款被退回，他决定再捐1500美元。)” 可推知，迈克尔是受到了慈善组织表达的感激之情的鼓舞，才决定再次捐款。故选B。 （2025年十二校二模） A few years ago, we bought a model Lego (乐高) set of the Taj Mahal (泰姬陵) for my dad’s birthday, hoping to combine his love for architecture with family time as our lives grew busier. Each evening, my dad and I gathered around the large dining table to plan our line of attack. We faced thousands of tiny white pieces, each packaged with accuracy in numbered plastic bags, accompanied by a thick instruction booklet. The evenings passed quickly, and the building rose before our eyes. We could see our efforts coming to fruition, and as we turned to the tedious (乏味的) task of ordering the colored tiles (地砖) on the building’s floor, our conversation too took a turn. We were struck by the similarities — and differences — between Lego blocks and life. We were amazed by how complex the model was and its instruction booklet. We realized the booklet itself was a work of art, beautiful, but also surprisingly detailed and clear. It provided us with the comfort of certainty. We knew if we followed all the instructions, we would end up with a model that looked exactly like the picture on the box. If we made a mistake, all we had to do was retrace our steps, flip back the pages and start again. Life, however, does not fit together so neatly and rarely provides us with such clear instructions. We talked over our respective lives, decisions made, and actions and choices never taken. Dad reflected on a life well lived, and I, in my mid-thirties, on the uncertain path that lay ahead. Here, we were the expert architects doing the assembling (组装), but out in the world, we were the ones being assembled. We think we’re in control, but our choices are shaped by forces beyond our control. In the face of uncertainty, we have to continue, trusting both in the process and the end result. Sometimes, on the days I return home, I go to the spare room to look at the completed Lego model, which brings forth a sense of happiness and comfort. It reminds me that life is built slowly, with mistakes, an element of uncertainty and no instruction book. It shows that consideration, warmth and faith will result in a life well lived. Like the now dusty replica (复制品), life itself is not about what we materially create or leave behind, but rather how we lived it. 41．Why did the author buy the Lego Taj Mahal set? A．To explore architectural designs. B．To release pressure from busy work. C．To celebrate the father’s birthday. D．To teach the children about history. 42．Which of the following best describes the author’s experience building the Lego set? A．Simple and tedious. B．Creative and enjoyable. C．Complex and rewarding.

B．Life’s uncertainties make it much more exciting. C．Life requires careful planning as well as adjustment. D．Life’s uncontrollable nature should be embraced. 44．What does the completed Lego model symbolize for the author? A．The pleasure of family bonding. B．The journey of living one’s life. C．The value of hard work in life. D．The achievement of life goals. 45．What is the author’s purpose of writing the passage? A．To compare assembling Lego blocks to handling life. B．To describe the process of building a Lego model. C．To reflect on the importance of family interaction. D．To discuss the challenges of following instructions. 【答案】41．C 42．C 43．D 44．B 45．A 【知识点】哲理感悟、记叙文、生活故事 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。本文讲述了作者与父亲一起搭建乐高泰姬陵模型的过程，并从中领悟到生活的哲理。 41．细节理解题。根据第一段“A few years ago, we bought a model Lego set of the Taj Mahal for my dad’s birthday, hoping to combine his love for architecture with family time as our lives grew busier.(几年前，为了庆祝我父亲的生日，我们买了一套乐高泰姬陵模型，希望随着我们生活越来越忙碌，能将他对建筑的热爱与家庭时光结合起来。)”可知，作者买乐高泰姬陵套装是为了庆祝父亲的生日。故选C。 42．推理判断题。根据第五段“We were amazed by how complex the model was and its instruction booklet.

Off-roading driving adventure on 85,000 acres of hills of sand in California had become our tradition. I felt the blood rushing to my head, my heart pounding like the loud bass (低音吉他) in a car. It reminded me of the four bass-loving brothers who lived across from us growing up. As a little girl, I often wondered if Matthew and I would ever have their friendship. When Matthew found out he was to have a baby brother, he was over the moon. But to everyone’s surprise, “It’s a girl!” His disappointment was obvious. As soon as I could walk, my big brother was everything to me, my idol. But to him, I was an annoyance, though he found comfort in playing tricks on me. Yet, I put up with it, waiting for moments when he’d reach out from his loneliness. The brother-sister relationship is unique, and it’s often the longest relationship we have in our entire lives. After learning that I missed him, Matthew unexpectedly invited me to visit him at university. In his room, he handed me a drink. We didn’t need many words; as siblings, we had a simple way of chatting. He knew about my struggles — the family secrets — and became my rock. Years later, when I was left out from the family Thanksgiving, he refused to attend without me. Instead, we had dinner — just the two of us. My big brother, who used to be a bit mean to me, had become my protector and friend. But after our off-roading accident, I saw him differently — vulnerable and unprotected. “Are you okay? Are you bleeding?” I checked his injuries. The man I’d seen as strong was now human, delicate. As we got ourselves back upright, I realized it was time for me to be his protector. Our shared bond had grown even deeper. I looked at my big brother, and we both smiled. Without him, my life would be unimaginably different. It was my turn to protect him. Thankfully, we had let each other in. 41．Why did the author mention the four bass-loving brothers in the first paragraph? A．To highlight her admiration for their musical taste. B．To show her childhood longing for brotherly friendship. C．To explain the reason for her initial distance from Mathew. D．To illustrate the noisy environment of their childhood. 42．What did the author think of Matthew in her childhood? A．He was admiring. B．He was lonely. C．He was easy-going. D．He was annoying. 43．How did the author feel when hearing Matthew’s invitation? A．Worried. B．Surprised. C．Honored. D．Hesitant. 44．What was Matthew’s reaction when the author was left out of the family event? A．He tried to find out the real reason. B．He was a little angry but said nothing. C．He understood and accepted the fact. D．He accompanied her to dine elsewhere. 45．What did the author realize about her brother after the accident? A．He was different from her. B．He was not physically strong. C．He also needed protection. D．He depended much on her. 【答案】41．B 42．A 43．B 44．D 45．C 【知识点】家人和亲人 、意外事故、记叙文 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者和自己的哥哥Matthew之间感情的变化，从儿时的矛盾到成年后的相互支持和理解。 41．推理判断题。根据第一段“It reminded me of the four bass-loving brothers who lived across from us growing up. As a little girl, I often wondered if Matthew and I would ever have their friendship.(这让我想起了四个喜欢低音吉他的兄弟，他们从小就住在我们对面。当我还是个小女孩的时候，我常常想知道我和马修是否还会有他们那样的友谊)”可知，作者在本段提到了四个喜欢低音吉他的兄弟是为了表达她童年时对兄弟情谊的渴望。故选B项。 42．推理判断题。根据第二段“As soon as I could walk, my big brother was everything to me, my idol.(从我能走路起，我的哥哥就是我的一切，我的偶像)”可推知，作者仰慕童年的马修。故选A项。 43．推理判断题。根据第二段“After learning that I missed him, Matthew unexpectedly invited me to visit him at university.(得知我想念他后，马修出乎意料地邀请我去大学看望他)”可推知，听到马修的邀请，作者感到很惊讶。故选B项。 44．细节理解题。根据第二段“Years later, when I was left out from the family Thanksgiving, he refused to attend without me.

Thankfully, we had let each other in.(当我们重新站起来的时候，我意识到是时候让我来保护他了。我们共同的纽带变得更加深厚。我看着我的哥哥，我们都笑了。没有他，我的生活会有难以想象的不同。轮到我保护他了。谢天谢地，我们让对方进来了)”可推知，事故发生后，作者意识到哥哥也需要保护。故选C项。 （2025年九校二模） In October 2024, I went deep-sea diving with my daughter twelve kilometers off the coast of Pondicherry. The funny but upsetting part was that I couldn’t swim. Assured by the organizer’s that swimming wasn’t necessary, I reluctantly agreed. The previous day, we trained in a water tank with the suit and mask, familiarizing ourselves with the equipment and learning how to breathe underwater. Though I felt slightly more confident afterward, an undercurrent (潜在的情绪) of fear still remained. The next morning, the sea was rough. The sky was overcast, a light drizzle (毛毛雨) fell, and the wind howled through the air. The waves crashed aggressively against the boat, making it sway unpredictably. I held the railing tightly, feeling sick to my stomach—not just from nerves but also from the violent motion of the boat. A small part of me wanted to back out. The fear of the unknown grew large and I questioned whether I was truly prepared for this. However, my daughter’s encouragement and the comfort of the dive instructors gave me the push I needed to continue. A guide explained that a thick rope extended from the boat to the seabed. All I had to do was hold onto it, and the instructors would ensure our safety. Taking a deep breath, I adjusted my mask and slowly descended. At first, panic threatened to take over as I felt the resistance of the water and heard nothing but the sound of my own breathing through the oxygen tank. But then, something incredible happened. The farther I went, the calmer it became. Several meters below the surface, the chaos above disappeared. The water was still, bright. and stunningly clear. The uncertainty, noise, and anxiety I had felt moments ago seemed like a distant memory. Schools of colorful fish sailed past effortlessly, swaying with the gentle underwater current. Coral formations of brilliant colors stretched out like an intricate, living cloth. I felt weightless, surrounded by an entirely different world-one that revealed peace and beauty. At that moment, my fear melted completely. I no longer wanted to return to the surface. I realized that inner peace, like the depths of the ocean, is always there—waiting. It is only when we dive deep within ourselves that we can access it, even when chaos rages above. 41．Why did the author think she was unprepared for the dive? A．Because of the safe diving equipment. B．Due to the heavy drizzle. C．Due to the comfort by her daughter. D．Because of the fear of the unknown. 42．What did the author discover of the underwater world according to Paragraph 4? A．Its calm and beauty. B．Its uncertainty and chaos. C．Its intricate cloth. D．Its colorless fish. 43．How does the author feel in the end? A．Regretful. B．Satisfied. C．Frightened. D．Indifferent. 44．What does the underlined word “it” refer to in the last paragraph? A．A state of inner peace. B．The chaos above. C．The depths of the ocean. D．A return to the surface. 45．In which column can we probably find the article? A．Health care. B．Food security. C．Sports event. D．Life experiences. 【答案】41．D 42．A 43．B 44．A 45．D 【知识点】记叙文、个人经历 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了作者在不会游泳的情况下，与女儿一起在Pondicherry海岸外12公里处进行深海潜水的经历。 41．细节理解题。根据第二段“The fear of the unknown grew large and I questioned whether I was truly prepared for this.(对未知的恐惧越来越大，我怀疑自己是否真的为此做好了准备。)”可知，作者认为她对潜水毫无准备是因为她对未知的恐惧。故选D。 42．细节理解题。根据第四段“I felt weightless, surrounded by an entirely different world-one that revealed peace and beauty.(我感到失重，周围是一个完全不同的世界——一个展现和平与美丽的世界。)”可知，作者发现了海底世界的平静和美丽，故选A。 43．推理判断题。根据最后一段“At that moment, my fear melted completely.

It is only when we dive deep within ourselves that we can access it, even when chaos rages above.(我意识到内心的平静，就像海洋的深处，永远在那里等待着。只有当我们深入自己的内心，我们才能接近它，即使在混乱肆虐的时候。)”可知，it指代的是内心平静的状态。故选A。 45．推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“In October 2024, I went deep-sea diving with my daughter twelve kilometers off the coast of Pondicherry. The funny but upsetting part was that I couldn’t swim.(2024年10月，我和女儿在离本地治里郡海岸12公里的地方进行深海潜水。有趣但令人沮丧的是，我不会游泳。)”和最后一段“At that moment, my fear melted completely. I no longer wanted to return to the surface. I realized that inner peace, like the depths of the ocean, is always there—waiting.(在那一刻，我的恐惧完全融化了。我再也不想回到水面上去了。我意识到内心的平静，就像海洋的深处，永远在那里等待着。)”可知，本文讲述了作者在不会游泳的情况下，与女儿一起在Pondicherry海岸外12公里处进行深海潜水的经历，因此可能在生活经历专栏找到这篇文章。故选D。 （2025年耀华二模） One of the most important people in the world of robotics is not a conventional roboticist, but a science-fiction writer: Isaac Asimov. He coined the word “robotics”, invented the famous Three Laws, which govern the relation of robots to their human masters, and passed on many myths that affect the way we feel about robots today. What was it, though, that opened up such new worlds to the writer in the very beginning? Born in the rural village of Petrovichi, Russia, in 1920, Isaac moved to Brooklyn with his parents when he was three years old. Making a go of life in the United States turned out to be tougher than the family had expected. It took them three years to save up enough money for a down payment on a small candy store. As a kid, Isaac worked long hours in the store where he became interested in one attraction that pulled in customers: pulp science fiction magazines featuring death rays and alien worlds. Soon after the first rocket launches in the mid-1920s, scientists announced that space travel had become possible, opening the door to exciting tales of adventure in outer space. Atomic energy-the source of the death rays-was also coming into public eye as a potential “super weapon”. But few people actually believed that they would be able to see either atomic bombs or space travel during their lifetime. Neither did Isaac’s father. While the science fiction magazines sold like hot cakes, he considered them to be out-and-out junk. Young Isaac was not allowed to waste time reading about things that did not exist and never would. Despite his father’s objections, Isaac began secretly reading every pulp magazine that appeared in the store, handling each one so carefully that Asimov Senior never knew they had been opened. Isaac finally managed to convince his father that one of the magazines, Science Wonder Stories, had educational value-after all, the word “science” was in the title. At the age of 18, Isaac read the magazine Astounding Science Fiction and tried writing a story of his own. He took the subway and submitted the story in person to the magazine’s famous editor, John Campbell. It was rejected, but Campbell encouraged the young man to send him more. Isaac kept writing and about four months later he managed to sell a story. Then two more, including one that broke him into Astounding Science Fiction. And the rest is history. By the end of his writing career, Isaac was credited with producing more than 500 books on a wide range of subjects, reaching out not only to distant galaxies but also to the distant past for inspiration. 46．The following statements are all true EXCEPT ________. A．Isaac Asimov was a productive science fiction writer B．Isaac Asimov was a Russian immigrant to America C．Isaac Asimov used to work as an amateur roboticist D．Isaac Asimov created the Three Laws of Robotics 47．Why did atomic energy come into public eye in the 1920s? A．Because people read science fiction stories featuring death rays. B．Because the first rocket was launched during this period. C．Because stories about space adventure were very popular. D．Because the it had the potential to become a super weapon 48．Isaac’s father discouraged his son from reading science fiction magazines because ________. A．they depicted life in alien worlds and death rays B．he thought that the stories were poorly written C．these magazines didn’t bring in satisfying profits D．the young boy had to work long hours in their store 49．According to the article, Isaac ended up selling his first story ________. A．thanks to the support and guidance of his father B．to the magazine Astounding Science Fiction C．when he was still a student in high school D．about four months after he met John Campbell 50．Much of Isaac’s initial success could be credited to his ________. A．high intelligence B．artistic creativity C．extensive knowledge D．remarkable persistence 【答案】46．C 47．A 48．B 49．D 50．D 【知识点】记叙文、科学家 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了科幻作家艾萨克·阿西莫夫的成长经历和创作生涯。 46．细节理解题。根据第一段中“One of the most important people in the world of robotics is not a conventional roboticist, but a science-fiction writer: Isaac Asimov. (机器人领域最重要的人物之一并非传统的机器人专家，而是科幻作家艾萨克·阿西莫夫。)”可知，艾萨克·阿西莫夫并非专业的机器人专家，而是科幻作家。所以“艾萨克·阿西莫夫曾经是一名业余机器人专家”表述错误。故选C。 47．推理判断题。根据第三段中“Soon after the first rocket launches in the mid-1920s, scientists announced that space travel had become possible, opening the door to exciting tales of adventure in outer space. Atomic energy-the source of the death rays-was also coming into public eye as a potential “super weapon”. (20世纪20年代中期，人类首次发射火箭后不久，科学家宣布太空旅行已成为可能，这为激动人心的外太空冒险故事打开了大门。作为死亡射线来源的原子能，也作为一种潜在的“超级武器”进入了公众视野。)”可知，原子能在20世纪20年代进入公众视野是因为人们读以死亡射线为主题的科幻小说。故选A。 48．细节理解题。根据第四段中“While the science fiction magazines sold like hot cakes, he considered them to be out-and-out junk. Young Isaac was not allowed to waste time reading about things that did not exist and never would. (虽然科幻杂志卖得很好，但他认为它们完全是垃圾。年轻的艾萨克不被允许浪费时间阅读那些不存在且永远不会存在的东西。)”可知，艾萨克的父亲不鼓励儿子读科幻杂志，因为他认为这些故事写得不好。故选B。 49．细节理解题。根据最后一段中“At the age of 18, Isaac read the magazine Astounding Science Fiction and tried writing a story of his own. He took the subway and submitted the story in person to the magazine’s famous editor, John Campbell. It was rejected, but Campbell encouraged the young man to send him more. Isaac kept writing and about four months later he managed to sell a story. (18岁时，艾萨克阅读了《惊人科幻》杂志，并尝试自己创作故事。他乘坐地铁，亲自将故事提交给该杂志著名的编辑约翰・坎贝尔。故事被拒绝了，但坎贝尔鼓励这个年轻人继续投稿。艾萨克坚持写作，大约四个月后，他成功卖出了一个故事。)”可知，艾萨克在遇到约翰·坎贝尔大约四个月后成功卖出了他的第一篇故事。故选D。 50．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“He took the subway and submitted the story in person to the magazine’s famous editor, John Campbell. It was rejected, but Campbell encouraged the young man to send him more. Isaac kept writing and about four months later he managed to sell a story. (他乘坐地铁，亲自将故事提交给该杂志著名的编辑约翰・坎贝尔。故事被拒绝了，但坎贝尔鼓励这个年轻人继续投稿。艾萨克坚持写作，大约四个月后，他成功卖出了一个故事。)”可知，艾萨克在首次投稿被拒后，没有放弃，而是坚持写作，最终取得了成功，由此可推知，艾萨克最初的许多成功都要归功于他非凡的毅力。故选D。 （2025年新华二模） Do you think cookies can tell stories? Jasmine Cho, 35, does. A baker, artist, entrepreneur and activist, Cho tries to spread knowledge about social justice issues and diversity through the delicious medium of cookies. It was in high school that she discovered her love of baking. At a sleepover a friend taught her how to make a dessert, “sort of demystifying baking and that whole process”. Later, Cho realized her second passion: learning more about her Asian, American culture. An elective in college that taught Asian-American immigrant experiences brought an emotional moment for her. “So many emotions came up that I just couldn’t articulate. It was like this mix of anger, relief, empowerment, sadness...” Cho said. Cho realized she could combine these two passions to educate others about influential Asian-American people and showcase matters that were important to her. With her online bakery, she designed cookie portraits about people she admired and posted the images on Instagram. “I don’t think I ever really knew how to communicate these stories until I found cookies,” Cho said. “Cookies are just so disarming. Who doesn’t like cookies?” One cookie that Cho has identified with deeply is one she made of George Helm, a Hawaiian activist in the 1970s. “It’s insane the amount of injustice that the native Hawaiian population has faced as well through the whole annexation (吞并) of the kingdom. There were so many horrific stories that I heard about nuclear testing and the fallout (核爆炸后的沉降物) impacting native Hawaiian populations in all of this,” Cho said, “George Helm was one of those activists who really represented the spirituality of the native Hawaiians and the connection to their land, to nature.” Among her amazing cookie art are other political figures such as Larry Itliong, a Filipino-American labor organizer, and pop culture figures such as Keanu Reeves, a Canadian actor. Cho hopes her cookie art continues to inspire people to be creative and think positively. “Instead of trying to think of something new and original, just look inward and see, maybe there’s already a passion or a love that you have,” Cho said. “Use that for something that will serve the world in a better way.” 41．What inspired Cho to take an interest in Asian-American culture? A．One of her sleepover experiences. B．One elective she took at college. C．The process of learning baking from her friend. D．A book she read about Asian-American immigrant experiences. 42．The underlined word “articulate” in Paragraph 4 probably mean _________. A．get rid of B．put up with C．express in words D．stay focused 43．What is the author’s purpose in mentioning George Helm in the passage? A．To inform the reader of Helm’s contributions to Hawaii. B．To show what knowledge Cho focuses on with her cookies. C．To introduce the spirituality of native Hawaiians. D．To explain why Cho is interested in political activists. 44．What approach does Cho recommend to make a difference? A．Making use of your passion. B．Turning to political figures for help C．Trying to do something creative and special. D．Asking people around to work along with you. 45．What can best summarize the message contained in the passage? A．Think outside the box to break new ground. B．Spread something original to one’s heart content. C．Hold your horses for a better self. D．Throw yourself into your inner world for a better one. 【答案】41．B 42．C 43．B 44．A 45．D 【知识点】记叙文、个人经历 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了35 岁的 Jasmine Cho是面包师、艺术家、企业家和活动家，她通过饼干这一美味媒介传播社会正义和多元文化知识。 41．细节理解题。根据第四段中“An elective in college that taught Asian-American immigrant experiences brought an emotional moment for her.( 大学里一门教授亚裔美国移民经历的选修课给她带来了一个激动人心的时刻)”可知，Cho 对亚裔美国文化的兴趣源于大学的一门选修课。故选B项。 42．词义猜测题。根据第四段中““So many emotions came up that I just couldn’t... It was like this mix of anger, relief, empowerment, sadness...” Cho said.( 太多的情绪涌上心头，我无法……。这是一种愤怒、解脱、赋权、悲伤的混合体……” Cho说)”结合语境可知，Cho在学习亚裔移民经历时产生了复杂情绪，却无法“用语言表达”（articulate）。选项 C“express in words(用语言表达)”符合文意。故选C项。 43．推理判断题。根据第五段中“With her online bakery, she designed cookie portraits about people she admired and posted the images on Instagram. “I don’t think I ever really knew how to communicate these stories until I found cookies,” Cho said. “Cookies are just so disarming. Who doesn’t like cookies?” One cookie that Cho has identified with deeply is one she made of George Helm, a Hawaiian activist in the 1970s.( 在她的网上面包店，她设计了她崇拜的人的饼干肖像，并将这些照片发布在Instagram上。“在我发现饼干之前，我一直不知道如何传达这些故事，”Cho说。“饼干真的很让人放松。谁不喜欢饼干？”有一种饼干让Cho产生了深刻的共鸣，那就是她在20世纪70年代为夏威夷活动家乔治·赫尔姆（George Helm）制作的饼干)”可推知，作者在文中提到乔治·赫尔姆的目的是用她的饼干来展示Cho专注于什么知识。故选B项。 44．推理判断题。根据最后一段中““Instead of trying to think of something new and original, just look inward and see, maybe there’s already a passion or a love that you have,” Cho said.( “不要试图去想一些新的和原创的东西，只要向内看，看看，也许你已经有了一种激情或爱，”Cho说)”可推知，Cho建议利用自身热情（passion）带来改变。故选A项。 45．主旨大意题。根据文章大意以及最后一段““Instead of trying to think of something new and original, just look inward and see, maybe there’s already a passion or a love that you have,” Cho said. “Use that for something that will serve the world in a better way.”(“不要试图去想一些新的和原创的东西，只要向内看，看看，也许你已经有了一种激情或爱，”Cho说。“用它来做一些能更好地为世界服务的事情。”)”可知，全文围绕Cho将内心热爱（烘焙与文化）结合，通过饼干艺术影响世界展开。D 选项“Throw yourself into your inner world for a better one”（投身内心热爱，创造更好世界）概括了“从内心热情出发，服务世界”的主旨。故选D项。 1 / 37 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
