Will the golden word “success” form in their minds when they review our achievements? Or will they see the big word “fail” in red? The shadow of this mysterious (神秘的) institution steals away what success means to us. My first step of redefining success began with course registrations. It is a well-known fact, especially in my school, that Junior year is the time of packing many AP classes into the schedule. When asked why they chose so many AP classes, my friends responded: “I don’t know.” They themselves don’t know why they are following the crowd and longing for the pressures of academic difficulty. Therefore, they do not feel the satisfaction of being academically challenged. Completing many courses no longer brings out the feeling of success because more than four AP classes per year is a norm set by top universities. Determined to follow my instincts (本能) on what I felt success means, I only chose two classes that I knew I would enjoy. The feeling of success was no longer attached to what grade I received but to the pure joy of learning. Even my failures are attached to a feeling of success; after I take a step back and look at the big picture, I see them as a launching pad (平台) for my next big achievement. In the ninth grade, I went in for my first group interview for a leadership position as a shy girl. Not standing a chance against competitive applicants, I came out of the interview with an upset look. Nevertheless, this interview wasn’t a wasted opportunity. I talked to one of the senior applicants who answered questions in a way that reflected the faith she had in herself. This year, with an open mind and new knowledge in mind, I walked into another group interview while telling myself I was that cool senior. I managed to secure a leadership position. Ultimately, success came little by little. 24. Throughout the Junior year, what was the author’s major concern? A. Pressure from choosing AP classes. B. Performance in group interviews. C. Competition with seniors. D. Recognition by colleges. 25. The author chose fewer AP classes because of _______. A. her own understanding of success B. her desire for academic challenges C. her strong urge to follow the crowd D. her dream of entering a top university 26. Which would best describe the author’s first group interview? A Dignifying. B. Rewarding. C. Engaging. D. Relaxing. 27. What can we learn from this passage? A. Everyone is the maker of their own success. B. Success favours those with a golden heart. C. Success knocks at your door only once. D. A college holds the key to success. (2024·北京·高考) When I was a little girl, I liked drawing, freely and joyously making marks on the walls at home. In primary school, I learned to write using chalks. Writing seemed to be another form of drawing. I shaped individual letters into repeating lines, which were abstract forms, delightful but meaningless patterns. In secondary school, art was my favourite subject. Since. I loved it so much I thought I was good at it. For the art O-level exam I had to present an oil painting. I found it difficult, but still hoped to pass. I failed, with a low grade. I’d been over-confident. Now I’d been declared talentless. But other channels of creativity stayed open: I went on writing poems and stories. Still, I went to exhibitions often. I continued my habitual drawing, which I now characterised as childish doodling (乱画). In my 30s, I made painter friends and learned new ways of looking at art. However, I couldn’t let myself have a go at actually doing it. Though these new friends were abstract painters using oil paints, or were printmakers or sculptors, I took oil painting as the taboo (禁忌) high form I wasn’t allowed to practice. One night, in my early 40s, I dreamed that a big woman in red approached me, handed me a bag of paints, and told me to start painting. The dream felt so authoritative that it shook me. It was a form of energy, giving me back something I’d lost. Accordingly, I started by experimenting with water colours. Finally, I bought some oil paints. Although I have enjoyed breaking my decades-long taboo about working with oil paints, I have discovered I now prefer chalks and ink. I let my line drawings turn into cartoons I send to friends. It all feels free and easy. Un-anxious. This time around, I can accept my limitations but keep going. Becoming a successful painter calls for being resolute. I realised I was always afraid of wanting too much. That dream reminded me that those fears and desires could encourage me to take risks and make experiments. 24. How did the author feel about the result of the art exam? A. Scared. B. Worried. C. Discouraged. D. Wronged. 25. In her 30s, the author _________. A. avoided oil painting practice B. sought for a painting career C. fancied abstract painting D. exhibited child paintings 26. Which word would best describe the author’s dream? A. Confusing. B. Empowering. C. Disturbing. D. Entertaining. 27. What can we learn from this passage? A. Actions speak louder than words. B. Hard work is the mother of success. C. Dreams are the reflections of realities. D. Creative activities involve being confident. (2023·北京·高考) Sitting in the garden for my friend’s birthday. I felt a buzz (振动) in my pocket. My heart raced when I saw the email sender’s name. The email started off: “Dear Mr Green, thank you for your interest” and “the review process took longer than expected.” It ended with “We are sorry to inform you…” and my vision blurred (模糊). The position—measuring soil quality in the Sahara Desert as part of an undergraduate research programme — had felt like the answer I had spent years looking for. I had put so much time and emotional energy into applying, and I thought the rejection meant the end of the road for my science career. So I was shocked when, not long after the email, Professor Mary Devon, who was running the programme, invited me to observe the work being done in her lab. I jumped at the chance, and a few weeks later I was equally shocked—and overjoyed—when she invited me to talk with her about potential projects I could pursue in her lab. What she proposed didn’t seem as exciting as the original project I had applied to, but I was going to give it my all. I found myself working with a robotics professor on techniques for collecting data from the desert remotely. That project, which I could complete from my sofa instead of in the burning heat of the desert, not only survived the lockdown but worked where traditional methods didn’t. In the end, I had a new scientific interest to pursue. When I applied to graduate school, I found three programmes promising to allow me to follow my desired research direction. And I applied with the same anxious excitement as before. When I was rejected from one that had seemed like a perfect fit, it was undoubtedly difficult. But this time I had the perspective (视角) to keep it from sending me into panic. It helped that in the end I was accepted into one of the other programmes I was also excited about. Rather than setting plans in stone, I’ve learned that sometimes I need to take the opportunities that are offered, even if they don’t sound perfect at the time, and make the most of them. 24．How did the author feel upon seeing the email sender’s name? A．Anxious. B．Angry. C．Surprised. D．Settled. 25．After talking with Professor Devon, the author decided to ________. A．criticise the review process B．stay longer in the Sahara Desert C．apply to the original project again D．put his heart and soul into the lab work 26．According to the author, the project with the robotics professor was ________. A．demanding B．inspiring C．misleading D．amusing 27．What can we learn from this passage? A．An invitation is a reputation. B．An innovation is a resolution. C．A rejection can be a redirection. D．A reflection can be a restriction. (2022·北京·高考) My name is Alice. Early last year, I was troubled by an anxiety that crippled ( 削弱 ) my ability to do anything. I felt like a storm cloud hung over me. For almost a year I struggled on, constantly staring at this wall that faced me. My perfectionist tendencies were the main root of this: I wanted to be perfect at whatever I did, which obviously in life is not possible, but it consumed me. One day, I attended a presentation by wildlife conservationist Grant Brown at my high school. His presentation not only awed and inspired me, but also helped emerge an inner desire to make a difference in the world. I joined a pre-presentation dinner with him and that smaller setting allowed me to slowly build up my courage to speak one-on-one with him—an idea that had seemed completely impossible. This first contact was where my story began. A month later, Brown invited me to attend the World Youth Wildlife Conference. Looking back, I now see that this would be the first in a series of timely opportunities that my old self would have let pass, but that this new and more confident Alice enthusiastically seized. Shortly after I received his invitation, applications to join the Youth for Nature and the Youth for Planet groups were sent around through my high school. I decided to commit to completing the applications, and soon I was a part of a growing global team of young people working to protect nature. Each of these new steps continued to grow my confidence. I am writing this just six months since my journey began and I’ve realised that my biggest obstacle ( 障碍 ) this whole time was myself. It was that voice in the back of my head telling me that one phrase that has stopped so many people from reaching their potential: I can’t. They say good things come to those who wait; I say: grab every opportunity with everything you have and be impatient. After all, nature does not require our patience, but our action. 24. What was the main cause for Alice’s anxiety? A. Her inability to act her age. B. Her habit of consumption. C. Her desire to be perfect. D. Her lack of inspiration. 25. How did Grant Brown’s presentation influence Alice? A. She decided to do something for nature. B. She tasted the sweetness of friendship. C. She learned about the harm of desire. D. She built up her courage to speak up. 26. The activities Alice joined in helped her to become more ________. A. intelligent B. confident C. innovative D. critical 27. What can we learn from this passage? A. Practice makes perfect. B. Patience is a cure of anxiety. C. Action is worry’s worst enemy. D. Everything comes to those who wait. (2021·北京·高考) I remember the day during our first week of class when we were informed about our semester（学期） project of volunteering at a non-profit organization．When the teacher introduced us to the different organizations that needed our help，my last choice was Operation Iraqi Children （OIC）．My first impression of the organization was that it was not going to make enough of a difference with the plans I had in mind． Then，an OIC representative gave us some details，which somewhat interested me．After doing some research， I believed that we could really do something for those kids．When I went online to the OIC website，I saw pictures of the Iraqi children．Their faces were so powerful in sending a message of their despair（绝望） and need that I joined this project without hesitation．We decided to collect as many school supplies as possible，and make them into kits——one kit，one child． The most rewarding day for our group was project day，when all the efforts we put into collecting the items finally came together．When I saw the various supplies we had collected，it hit me that every kit we were to build that day would eventually be in the hands of an Iraqi child．Over the past four months，I had never imagined how I would feel once our project was completed．While making the kits，I realized that I had lost sight of the true meaning behind it．I had only focused on the fact that it was another school project and one I wanted to get a good grade on．When the kits were completed，and ready to be sent overseas，the warm feeling I had was one I would never forget． In the beginning，I dared myself to make a difference in the life of another person．Now that our project is over，I realize that I have affected not only one life，but ten．With our efforts，ten young boys and girls will now be able to further their education． 24.

He who hesitates is lost． 1 (2025届北京市第八中学高三下学期热身练英语试题)The student arrived early, sat front and center, and stood out in my classroom in more ways than one. I’d say that he was about 40 years older than his classmates in my undergraduate communications class. He eagerly jumped into class discussions, with his humor and wisdom of experience. And he was always respectful of the other students’ perspectives, as if each of them were a teacher. Jerry Valencia walked in with a smile — and he left with one too. “These students gave me the confidence that I didn’t need to feel bad about my age,” Valencia says. One day, I spotted Valencia on campus. He said he would have to stop taking classes that semester and reapply for next year. By then, he hoped to have earned enough money and have his student-loan papers in order. He asked seriously whether he could still sit in on my communications class. Sure, I said. But he wouldn’t get any credit. No problem, he said. Soon there he was again, back at his old desk, jumping into our discussions on how to find and tell stories in Los Angeles — a 63-year-old man with as much energy and curiosity as any of the youngsters in class. A lot of Valencia’s classmates apparently knew he couldn’t afford that semester’s tuition but was still doing the homework. “Here he is, willingly taking a class for the delight of it and benefit of learning,” says Jessica Espinosa, a 25-year-old junior. Afterward, I overheard Valencia wanted to stay in school until he earned a master’s degree, but it had taken him 12 years to finish community college, so he had a long way to go. There is something splendidly unreasonable about Valencia’s determination to get a four-year degree and then a master’s. At his current pace, he’ll be 90 when he finally hangs all that paper on the wall. But that doesn’t seem especially relevant. He’s found all the youthful energy and academic opportunity stimulating. Valencia’s grade in my class this semester will not show up on his transcripts (成绩单). But I’m giving him an A — and in the most important ways, it counts. 1．What made Valencia different from his classmates? A．He was respectful to the teacher. B．He activated the class atmosphere. C．He was eager to learn despite his age. D．He often put forward different opinions. 2．According to the author, why did Valencia continue to attend classes? A．He treasured the chance of learning. B．He wished to show his determination. C．He needed the credits to further his study. D．He desired to have an A on his transcripts. 3．What can we learn from the passage? A．No pains, no gains. B．It is never too old to learn. C．Strike the iron while it is hot. D．Where there is life, there is hope. 2 (2025届北京市精华学校高三下学期三模英语试题) By my early 40s, I had exhausted all the hobbies that were supposed to make me feel better about entering middle age. I had taken an improv class, started learning a new language, and given yoga a second chance. And then, at the height of my lowgrade desperation, I decided to sign up for a ballet class. “But you’ re not very flexible,” my husband gently reminded me. He wasn’t wrong. I nearly injured myself the one time I tried to lift my leg onto our bathroom vanity in an attempt to stretch. But I was determined to give it a try. I needed confirmation that my body was capable of movement and grace. I hadn’t expected any of it to stick. After all, this wasn’t my first time in a ballet studio. But this time around, the exact same things that had made me flee the studio as a 10-year-old now brought a certain joy. The repetitive nature of exercises at the barre. The fact that my every move invited my teacher’s critical dissection. And though I’d expected my classes to be physically demanding and my muscles to ache, I hadn’t anticipated that my teacher’s command to “take up more space” would change my way of being in the world. When I was depressed for my lack of grace in the seemingly simple act of pointing and extending my foot to the side in a tendu, my teacher reminded me that ballet isn’t about perfection. Rather, he said, it’s about striving for perfection. Eight years into my ballet classes, I am finally a ballerina at the tender age of 50, though not the kind that anybody would pay money to see on stage. Why do I continue? Because when I do my almost daily ballet class, I focus on my breathing and move my body in ways that always challenge me and remind me of everything that is possible. Recently, my teacher taught us a watered-down, beginner-appropriate version of the Rose Adagio choreography from Sleeping Beauty. As I stood in my living room, dancing for nobody but myself, I felt every inch a ballerina. 1．What initially motivated the author to sign up for a ballet class? A．To improve her physical flexibility and mental health. B．To find a new hobby that could make her feel better about entering middle age. C．To prepare for the upcoming ballet competition. D．To achieve her dream at 10-year-old to be a ballerina. 2．How did the author’s perspective on ballet change over time? A．She became less interested in ballet as she grew older. B．She started to see ballet as a way to achieve physical perfection. C．She realized that ballet is more about striving for perfection than achieving it. D．She decided to quit ballet because it was too physically demanding. 3．What’s the main idea of this passage? A．It’s never too old to learn. B．Practice makes perfect. C．You can’t teach an old dog new tricks. D．The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. 3 (2025届北京市丰台区高三下学期二模英语试题)I grew up in a place stricken by extreme poverty. People struggled daily just to put food on the table. By the time I turned sixteen, my father’s hard work had paid off. He had over eight hundred students across three campuses, and finally, we could afford a TV. That’s when I became fixated on the idea of owning a magic pencil, inspired by a TV series. The main character, Sanju could draw anything he desired, and it would come to life. Despite being sixteen and knowing deep down that the magic pencil was nothing more than a fantasy for kids, a part of me still longed for it. At night, I dreamed of using it to transform the lives of those around me. But as the days passed, the pencil was never there. One afternoon my mother asked me to throw away some potato peels and eggshells. I walked to the rubbish dump, wrinkling my nose as I got close. As I tossed our rubbish onto the heap, I saw a girl my age. She was sorting rubbish into piles, one for cans, one for bottles. Nearby, boys were fishing in the pile for metal using magnets on strings. Later that day, I dragged my father to see the children at the dump. I posed a question about their absence from school. He shared that their earnings from gathering discarded(废弃的) things sustained their families — schooling would leave their loved ones hungry. As we walked back home, I saw tears on his cheek. Until then, I’d pinned all my hopes on some unseen, miraculous force to come along and wipe out the suffering in our world. Now I knew I would have to do something. As much as I wanted to help the children from the dump, my mother wanted to help everyone. She left the extra pot of rice and chicken for a poor family in our neighborhood. We shared our home with a family of seven who had fallen on hard times. And although my father’s school wasn’t really making a profit, he gave away more than a hundred free places in different grades to poor children. He wished he could have given away more. Inspired by what my parents had done, I started volunteering at local community centers, helping children with their studies and organising food drives for families in need. Gradually, I realised that while a magic pencil might not exist, the power to make a difference lay within us. Together, we could create a kind of magic that was real and lasting. 1．The girl at the dump sorted rubbish into piles to ________. A．collect items for personal DJY hobbies B．support her family by selling recyclables C．complete assignments on waste recycling D．locate the necessities that could be reused 2．To help other people, the author’s family ________. A．cooked special food for the poor B．donated school profits to children C．built free houses for the homeless D．provided free education for children 3．What can we conclude from this passage? A．Real magic comes from kindness and effort. B．Education has the power to transform lives. C．Those doing good deeds deserve rewards. D．Ending poverty requires joint efforts. 4 (2025届北京市昌平区高三下学期二模英语试题)At 17 years old, most are still learning basic driving skills in America. Once the car is parked, the day is packed with school activities and hanging out with friends. But at 17, Maggie Taraska had a distinctive goal in mind: Fly alone across the United States. Both of Maggie’s parents were retired from the air force, so the urge to fly is in Maggie’s blood. She went to flight school, put in the hours with an instructor and started on her training hours. But on her first takeoff, something didn’t sound right. The plane had lost one of the landing gear wheels. “As soon as I took off, I just heard something was wrong instinctively.” said Maggie. Her instructor talked to her from the ground while she circled a few times to gather herself. “I was frightened, thinking about all the bad things that could have happened; I was thinking about how my parents were on the ground as I knew they were watching.” Stress and panic can cause any of us to make careless decisions. It takes mental practice to calm down. “Take a few breaths, focus on the moment and follow the plan. I panicked a bit, but followed my training.” Maggie was a little shaky as she talked to the tower, but she had a perfect belly landing that skidded on the infield grass. Her father couldn’t be prouder. “By the time I saw Maggie on her approach, it was a better approach than I could have flown,” he said. Cheers erupted in the tower, and Maggie took a deep breath and climbed out of the plane. Credit does go to the crew for talking to her. Yes, we all need someone to talk us through challenging times, but in the end, it was all Maggie at the controls. We could all be forgiven for calling it quits after an experience like that. After all, it was a bit distressing. So walking away would be understandable. But five days later, Maggie was going through her pre-flight safety inspections, checking the wings, especially checking the landing gear. “It feels amazing,” she said, “It gives an incredible sense of liberation.” At some point in our lives, we will all be in a situation for the first time. It’s scary. But if you face your fears, the whole world opens up to you. 1．Maggie’s urge to fly alone was mainly influenced by ______. A．her parents’ background in air force B．her experience of school activities C．her instructor’s encouragements D．her basic driving skills 2．When Maggie heard something wrong during takeoff, she ______. A．landed the plane immediately B．thought of her parents’ expectation C．circled a few times to calm herself down D．continued flying as if nothing had happened 3．Which words would best describe Maggie’s personality? A．Proud and intelligent. B．Positive and cautious. C．Patient and responsible. D．Fearless and determined. 4．What can we learn from the passage? A．Failure is the mother of success. B．A good beginning is half done. C．Fortune favors the brave. D．Practice makes perfect. 5 (2025届北京市西城区高三下学期二模英语试题)In the quiet town of Greenfield, situated in the hills of upstate New York, David Lee had built a life around his art. His small studio in an old Victorian house was a sanctuary (庇护所) where he painted landscapes that captured (展现) the heart of the town he loved. The walls were covered with pieces of art, each one reflecting his dedication and passion. One crisp autumn evening, as the sun set, casting a golden glow over the town, David worked on what he believed was his best piece yet. Lost in his work, he barely noticed a flash of light in the corner of his eye. It was a neighbor who first saw the smoke. By the time David realized what was happening, the fire had spread through half of his studio. He rushed outside, horrified to see the flames (火焰) consuming everything he had worked so hard for. Within minutes, his studio was reduced to ashes. The following days were clouded with sorrow. David wandered the streets of Greenfield, confused and with no purpose. Friends and neighbors offered their support, but nothing could replace the years of work destroyed. One evening, as he sat on a bench in the town square, he noticed children drawing with chalk on the pavement. Their laughter and creativity cut through his despair. David realized his passion for art wasn’t tied to the physical space of his studio. It was something deeper within him. He decided to start over, to rebuild his life and art anew. With the help of his friends, David set up a small workspace in the community center. He began painting again, this time with renewed purpose. His first piece was an acknowledgment of Greenfield, capturing the town’s resilience (坚韧). As he painted, he felt a sense of peace he hadn’t felt in weeks. One day, while finishing a challenging piece, a young girl approached him. “What are you painting?” she asked. David smiled. “It’s a story,” he said. “A story of resilience and hope.” The girl nodded, her eyes reflecting the colors on the painting. “It’s beautiful,” she said. David felt warmth in his chest. He realized his art was about more than just paintings — it was about connecting with others and sharing his journey. From then on, David painted not only for himself but for everyone who needed a reminder of the beauty in the world. Though his studio had changed, his passion for art had been renewed, and in that, he found a new kind of resilience. 1．How did David feel after the fire destroyed his studio? A．Angry and bitter. B．Grateful and content. C．Lost and empty. D．Anxious and regretful. 2．What is the significance of the children drawing on the pavement? A．Their creativity helps David find joy again. B．They are a reminder of the fire’s destruction. C．They represent the future of art in Greenfield. D．They show how the town has forgotten about David’s art. 3．What is the theme of David’s first new painting after the fire? A．Renewal. B．Resilience. C．Peace. D．Passion. 4．What can we learn from the passage? A．The flash today is the silence tomorrow. B．The less you expect, the more you appreciate. C．The flame that burns you may also light your way. D．The greatest roadblocks are the ones you cannot see. 6 (2025届北京市朝阳区高三下学期二模考试英语试题) Writing is a bug, and I caught it very early on in life. When my parents cleared their storage room out recently, they found The Story Book Special I wrote when I was nine years old. I couldn’t believe my imagination was so wild. Reading it reminded me of how special words had been to me at an early age. It’s a feeling that has lasted, through my school years and far, far beyond. At the age of 18, I joined Kent Police and spent twelve years living every little boy’s dream of driving cars fast and playing cops and robbers for real. It’s safe to say it’s a career I’d still be in now, if not for what happened when I was 28. I was a fit man when, unexpectedly, I was diagnosed with an incurable heart disease. It’s the disease you hear of when a sportsperson suddenly drops dead on the field of play. But, you know what, it’s one of the best things to have happened to me. When this happened, I made a to-do list. At the top of it was to write a full-length, “proper” book. I wrote the first draft of my first novel in three months and loved every minute of the process. I knew this was what I wanted to do, more than anything, and getting into publishing can’t be that hard... right? Wrong! As every author knows, brick walls are everywhere, and when you knock one down, there’s another one. After a few false starts, I coupled with my wonderful agent, Nicky. We spent eight solid months editing and sent the manuscript off. Once again, we received some dressed-up “no’s”, until Rachel, an editor I’d really wanted to work with, read it. Her vision for the book is exactly consistent with mine! Now my first novel is optioned for television, and is in the hands of a wonderful production team both here in London, and in Australia where it will be filmed. Writing is what I love, and seeing my little story book from when I was nine really drove it home to me. We don’t often get another chance in life, but I was given one when I survived something tragically fatal. Now, with my second chance, I’m giving it the best go I can. 1．How did the author feel when reading The Story Book Special? A．Nervous. B．Relieved. C．Proud. D．Ashamed. 2．After being told he had heart disease, the author decided to ___________. A．get a job in publishing B．continue working as a policeman C．pick up a new hobby D．pursue his passion for words 3．What happened when the author acted on his to-do list? A．His first novel was turned down many times. B．He adapted his novel and filmed it in Australia. C．He worked with a co-author to improve the draft. D．His continuous efforts earned Rachel’s appreciation. 4．What can we learn from this passage? A．Two heads are better than one. B．A little bit more sums up success. C．It’s hard to change one’s nature. D．A setback is a setup for a comeback. 7 (2025届北京市海淀区高三下学期期末练习（二模）英语试题)When I arrived at the Sign Language Center in Manhattan for my first American Sign Language (ASL) class, a man took one look at my hesitant posture and held up some fingers. One? Two? I put up one finger, and he directed me to the Level 1 class. It was disorienting: Class time was strictly “voices off” to encourage immersive learning and to show respect to the deaf teachers. Without the power of speech, all my classmates and I could do was smile and nod at one another as we took in the new vocabulary. Learning ASL in the early weeks was a culture shock and a bruise to my ego. As a writer, I pride myself on a certain facility with language. I was taught that there’s a perfect combination of words that can most precisely communicate any thought. With ASL, I expected to feel similarly, and thought fluency would come once I collected a critical mass of signs. The first thing you learn in ASL class is the alphabet. As my classmates and I asked and answered questions using words we didn’t have the signs for, those early weeks were filled with laborious spelling. It was embarrassing: Seeing a dozen politely smiling faces watching me as I slowly spelled, misspelled and restarted spelling words— often multiple times— was its own kind of torture. Over time, I picked up on new conventions, like waving a hand or stomping on the ground to get someone’s attention. My fingers stalled as they reached for new shapes, and I struggled to differentiate very similar looking signs. Eventually I realized that when you’re communicating in sign language, diction (措词) is not as important as the way you embody what you’re communicating. I once asked a teacher how to sign the word “desperate”. “ASL doesn’t have a direct translation of every English word,” he told me. “If you want to sign ‘desperate’, you might just sign the word ‘want’, but with the appropriate facial and body posturing to show your desperation. It doesn’t make sense to sign ‘frustrated’ if your face doesn’t look at all frustrated,” he added — it’s like speaking in a deadpan monotone while claiming you’re angry. I’ve been attending ASL classes for almost two years. Initially, my reason was trivial: a childhood fascination with “secret languages”. While ASL may not wholly share a vocabulary with English, that doesn’t mean it lacks precision. Its precision, I’ve learned, lies in the common language of the body. 1．How did the author feel in the first ASL class? A．Frustrated. B．Confused. C．Anxious. D．Hesitant. 2．What made the author embarrassed when learning the alphabet? A．Putting on smiling facial expressions. B．Being made fun of in front of the class. C．Waving a hand to get someone’s attention. D．Misspelling and respelling words repeatedly. 3．According to the passage, what can we learn about ASL? A．It’s a universal language system across cultures. B．It conveys more emotions than verbal language. C．It requires a combination of signs and emotions. D．It has a direct translation of signs for every word. 4．What has the author learned from her learning experience? A．The body is what gives language life. B．Diction is what gives language flavour. C．Fluency comes from the mastery of signs. D．ASL prioritizes precision over communication. 8 (2025届北京市东城区高三下学期二模英语试题)Last year, I took my first trip to Sheffield, where my new friend Esme lived. From the moment we stepped off the train, strangers spoke to us — making small talk with an openness and warmth I hadn’t expected. Then a couple approached us, asking if we could witness their wedding. They explained that they were supposed to have a low-key wedding, but had missed their first appointment at the register office because of delayed trains. They had been able to reschedule, but had no witnesses for the ceremony. Desperately, they asked us if we would like to step in. On hearing this, the part of me raised on suspicion awakened. But another part that leans into trust and curiosity told me to say yes. I was raised to approach strangers with caution. My parents drilled in me the idea that trust had to be earned; they had seen the risks that come with being vulnerable (脆弱的) in a new environment. Being watchful of the unfamiliar was their way of ensuring we stayed safe. As I got older, their anxieties became my own. Yet there was something charming about the couple’s sincerity, so we agreed. We arrived at the register office with seconds to spare. It was just the six of us: two lovers, two friends and two registrars — pairs connected in different ways, yet all sharing in the quiet magic of the moment. The ceremony was quick and touching, and I teared up on several occasions. The simplicity of it felt meaningful. To me, their wedding symbolized an act of bravery. Trusting complete strangers to witness one of the most significant moments of their lives seemed no small challenge — they had no guarantees, just a belief in human kindness, and somehow, that faith had been rewarded. Looking back, I can’t help but think of how my parents might have reacted if I’d told them I was going to be witnessing a couple’s wedding with someone I had only recently met. But, ever since, I have made a conscious effort to acknowledge life’s uncertainties and accept them where possible. It’s easy to live life with a protective layer, but it can lead to loneliness. Moments of connection are precious, and sometimes it’s worth taking a risk. 1．Why did the couple ask for help? A．Because they missed the train. B．Because they needed witnesses. C．Because they tried to start small talk. D．Because they wanted to share their joy. 2．The author hesitated at first due to ______. A．unsafe environment B．a lack of curiosity C．inborn distrust D．a planted belief 3．What can we learn from the author’s experience? A．Many hands make light work. B．One good turn deserves another. C．A joy shared can be a joy doubled. D．A leap of faith may unlock delights. 9 (2025届北京通州区高三一模英语试题) A teacher in New York decided to honor each of her seniors in high school by telling them the difference they each made to her and the class. She presented each of them with a blue ribbon imprinted with gold letters which read, “Who I Am Makes a Difference”. Afterwards the teacher gave each of the students three more ribbons and instructed them to spread this recognition to ceremony. One of the boys in the class honored a junior executive in a nearby company for helping him with his career planning and later that day the junior executive went to see his boss, who had been noted as being kind of a bad tempered fellow. He told his boss that he deeply admired him for being a creative genius. Then the junior executive placed the blue ribbon on his boss’s jacket. That night the boss came home to his 14-year-old son and sat him down. He said, “The most incredible thing happened to me today. I was in my office and one of the junior executives came in and told me he admired me and gave me a blue ribbon for being a creative genius. Imagine. He thinks I’m a creative genius. Then he put the blue ribbon that says ‘Who I Am Makes A Difference’ on my jacket above my heart. He gave me an extra ribbon and asked me to find somebody else to honor. As I was driving home tonight, I started thinking about whom I would honor with this ribbon and I thought about you, I want to honor you.” “My days are really stressful and when I come home, I don’t pay a lot of attention to you. Sometimes I scream at you for not getting good enough grades in school and for your bedroom being a mess, but somehow tonight, I just wanted to let you know that you do make a difference to me. Besides your mother, you are the most important person in my life. You’re a great kid and I love you!” The astonished boy started to sob and sob, and he couldn’t stop crying. His whole body shook. After a long silence, he looked up at his father and said through his tears, “Thank you, Dad. This blue ribbon means more to me than anything. I love you too.” 1．The teacher gave each student three more ribbons in order to ______.

Doctors told her she might never run again. But Sarah refused to accept this. She had always loved running, and the thought of losing it was unbearable. With determination and the support of her family, she began a long and difficult journey to regain her strength. For months, Sarah underwent physical therapy, spending hours each day relearning how to move her legs. Progress was slow, and there were days when she felt like giving up. But her mother always reminded her, “Every step forward, no matter how small, is a victory.” These words became Sarah’s motto, pushing her to keep going. She started by taking a few steps with a walker, then progressed to walking short distances on her own. Each milestone, no matter how small, filled her with hope. By the time she turned 15, Sarah had made significant progress. She could walk short distances without assistance, but running still seemed like a distant dream. That’s when she met Coach Miller, a former marathon runner who believed in her potential. He designed a special training program for Sarah, focusing on building her endurance and confidence. “You have the heart of a runner,” he told her. “Now we just need to train your body to keep up.” The first time Sarah tried to run, she only managed a few steps before collapsing in tears. But Coach Miller was there, encouraging her to try again. “Failure is just a step on the path to success,” he said. Over the next year, Sarah trained tirelessly, gradually increasing her distance and speed. She faced setbacks, including muscle pain and moments of self-doubt, but she never gave up. At 17, Sarah entered her first race — a local 5K. She didn’t win, but she crossed the finish line with a smile on her face. For Sarah, it wasn’t about winning; it was about proving to herself that she could do it. Today, Sarah is a competitive runner and an inspiration to others facing challenges. Her story reminds us that with persistence and support, even the toughest obstacles can be overcome. 1．What was Sarah’s initial reaction to her disease? A．She accepted it immediately. B．She felt relieved to stop running. C．She decided to focus on other hobbies. D．She didn’t believe she couldn’t run again. 2．Which word would best describe Sarah’s mother’s words? A．Imaginative. B．Encouraging. C．Constructive. D．Entertaining. 3．Why did Coach Miller’s training program focus on endurance and confidence? A．Because Sarah needed to overcome physical and mental barriers. B．Because Sarah had little potential in running long distances. C．Because Sarah wanted to win races quickly. D．Because Sarah suffered from muscle pain. 4．What did Sarah’s participation in the 5K race show? A．Her need to impress others. B．Her determination to win at all costs. C．Her desire to prove her ability to herself. D．Her acceptance of her physical limitations. / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 专题10 阅读理解记叙文(北京专用) 五年考情（2021-2025） 命题趋势 年份 主题语境 词数 话题 考点分布 细节理解 推理 判断 主旨大意 词义猜测 2025 人与自我 363 通过自我调整最终获得领导职位 1 3 0 0 题材强化时代特征与价值引领。题型设计更注重高阶思维，要求考生通过人物行为分析情感变化。考查重点从信息提取转向叙事技巧解析。语篇理解强调文化认同与批判性思维。 2024 人与自我 354 作者重拾心并接受了自身局限性 1 3 0 0 2023 人与自我 386 被拒绝也不是坏事 1 3 0 0 2022 人与自然 348 参加保护自然活动治愈好了焦虑 3 1 0 0 2021 人与自我 379 第一印象不总是可信的 3 0 0 0 (2025·北京·高考) Throughout our Junior year, my classmates and I have been worried about what colleges will see when they look at our whole life story reduced to a single 200-word essay. Will the golden word “success” form in their minds when they review our achievements? Or will they see the big word “fail” in red? The shadow of this mysterious (神秘的) institution steals away what success means to us. My first step of redefining success began with course registrations. It is a well-known fact, especially in my school, that Junior year is the time of packing many AP classes into the schedule. When asked why they chose so many AP classes, my friends responded: “I don’t know.” They themselves don’t know why they are following the crowd and longing for the pressures of academic difficulty. Therefore, they do not feel the satisfaction of being academically challenged. Completing many courses no longer brings out the feeling of success because more than four AP classes per year is a norm set by top universities. Determined to follow my instincts (本能) on what I felt success means, I only chose two classes that I knew I would enjoy. The feeling of success was no longer attached to what grade I received but to the pure joy of learning. Even my failures are attached to a feeling of success; after I take a step back and look at the big picture, I see them as a launching pad (平台) for my next big achievement. In the ninth grade, I went in for my first group interview for a leadership position as a shy girl. Not standing a chance against competitive applicants, I came out of the interview with an upset look. Nevertheless, this interview wasn’t a wasted opportunity. I talked to one of the senior applicants who answered questions in a way that reflected the faith she had in herself. This year, with an open mind and new knowledge in mind, I walked into another group interview while telling myself I was that cool senior. I managed to secure a leadership position. Ultimately, success came little by little. 24. Throughout the Junior year, what was the author’s major concern? A. Pressure from choosing AP classes. B. Performance in group interviews. C. Competition with seniors. D. Recognition by colleges. 25. The author chose fewer AP classes because of _______. A. her own understanding of success B. her desire for academic challenges C. her strong urge to follow the crowd D. her dream of entering a top university 26. Which would best describe the author’s first group interview? A Dignifying. B. Rewarding. C. Engaging. D. Relaxing. 27. What can we learn from this passage? A. Everyone is the maker of their own success. B. Success favours those with a golden heart. C. Success knocks at your door only once. D. A college holds the key to success. 【答案】24. D 25. A 26. B 27. A 【主题】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者在高三时对大学申请和成功定义的反思，不再盲目追随他人选择大量AP课程，而是基于个人兴趣选课，并从失败的小组面试中学习，通过自我调整最终获得领导职位。 24.【解析】推理判断题。根据第一段中“Throughout our Junior year, my classmates and I have been worried about what colleges will see when they look at our whole life story reduced to a single 200-word essay. Will the golden word “success” form in their minds when they review our achievements? Or will they see the big word “fail” in red? (在整个高三期间，我和我的同学们一直担心，当大学将我们的整个人生故事浓缩成一篇200字的短文时，他们会看到什么。当他们回顾我们的成就时，脑海中会浮现出‘成功’这个金灿灿的词汇吗？还是会看到用红色标注的‘失败’这个醒目的大字？)”可知，作者在高三年级主要担心的是大学对他们的认可。故选D。 25.【解析】细节理解题。根据第三段中“Determined to follow my instincts (本能) on what I felt success means, I only chose two classes that I knew I would enjoy. (我决心追随自己对成功的直觉理解，只选择了两门我确信自己会喜欢的课程。)”可知，作者选择较少的AP课程是因为她自己对成功的理解。故选A。 26.【解析】推理判断题。根据第四段中“Nevertheless, this interview wasn’t a wasted opportunity. I talked to one of the senior applicants who answered questions in a way that reflected the faith she had in herself. (然而，这次面试并不是一次浪费的机会。我和一位高年级的申请者交谈，她回答问题的方式反映了她对自己的信心。)”以及最后一段中“This year, with an open mind and new knowledge in mind, I walked into another group interview while telling myself I was that cool senior. I managed to secure a leadership position. Ultimately, success came little by little. (今年，我带着开放的心态和新的知识，再次走进集体面试的现场，告诉自己我就是那位自信满满的高年级学生。最终，我成功获得了一个领导职位。成功，就这样一点点地向我走来。)”可知，作者认为第一次面试是有收获的，因为它让作者从中学到了东西，并影响了她后来的面试表现。故选B。 27.【解析】推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是由文章第三段中“Determined to follow my instincts (本能) on what I felt success means, I only chose two classes that I knew I would enjoy. (我决心追随自己对成功的直觉理解，只选择了两门我确信自己会喜欢的课程。)”以及最后一段中“This year, with an open mind and new knowledge in mind, I walked into another group interview while telling myself I was that cool senior. I managed to secure a leadership position. Ultimately, success came little by little. (今年，我带着开放的心态和新的知识，再次走进集体面试的现场，告诉自己我就是那位自信满满的高年级学生。最终，我成功获得了一个领导职位。成功，就这样一点点地向我走来。)”可知，作者通过自己的经历表明，成功并非由大学或外界标准定义，而是源于自我认知与努力。“Everyone is the maker of their own success. (每个人都是自己成功的创造者。)” 符合题意。故选A。 (2024·北京·高考) When I was a little girl, I liked drawing, freely and joyously making marks on the walls at home. In primary school, I learned to write using chalks. Writing seemed to be another form of drawing. I shaped individual letters into repeating lines, which were abstract forms, delightful but meaningless patterns. In secondary school, art was my favourite subject. Since. I loved it so much I thought I was good at it. For the art O-level exam I had to present an oil painting. I found it difficult, but still hoped to pass. I failed, with a low grade. I’d been over-confident. Now I’d been declared talentless. But other channels of creativity stayed open: I went on writing poems and stories. Still, I went to exhibitions often. I continued my habitual drawing, which I now characterised as childish doodling (乱画). In my 30s, I made painter friends and learned new ways of looking at art. However, I couldn’t let myself have a go at actually doing it. Though these new friends were abstract painters using oil paints, or were printmakers or sculptors, I took oil painting as the taboo (禁忌) high form I wasn’t allowed to practice. One night, in my early 40s, I dreamed that a big woman in red approached me, handed me a bag of paints, and told me to start painting. The dream felt so authoritative that it shook me. It was a form of energy, giving me back something I’d lost. Accordingly, I started by experimenting with water colours. Finally, I bought some oil paints. Although I have enjoyed breaking my decades-long taboo about working with oil paints, I have discovered I now prefer chalks and ink. I let my line drawings turn into cartoons I send to friends. It all feels free and easy. Un-anxious. This time around, I can accept my limitations but keep going. Becoming a successful painter calls for being resolute. I realised I was always afraid of wanting too much. That dream reminded me that those fears and desires could encourage me to take risks and make experiments. 24. How did the author feel about the result of the art exam? A. Scared. B. Worried. C. Discouraged. D. Wronged. 25. In her 30s, the author _________. A. avoided oil painting practice B. sought for a painting career C. fancied abstract painting D. exhibited child paintings 26. Which word would best describe the author’s dream? A. Confusing. B. Empowering. C. Disturbing. D. Entertaining. 27. What can we learn from this passage? A. Actions speak louder than words. B. Hard work is the mother of success. C. Dreams are the reflections of realities. D. Creative activities involve being confident. 【答案】24. C 25. A 26. B 27. D 【主题】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者一直喜欢绘画，但中学时由于油画测试成绩较低，作者对绘画失去了信心。在40岁出头时，一个梦让作者重拾画油画的信心并接受了自身局限性的故事。 24.【解析】推理判断题。根据第二段“I found it difficult, but still hoped to pass. I failed, with a low grade. I’d been over-confident. Now I’d been declared talentless.(我觉得很难，但仍希望能通过测试。我没有通过，而且成绩很低。我过于自信了。现在，我被宣布为毫无(油画)天赋的人了)”并结合下文中作者多年不碰油画的经历可推知，作者对美术考试的结果感到气馁。故选C。 25.【解析】细节理解题。根据第三段“In my 30s, I made painter friends and learned new ways of looking at art.(在我30多岁时，我结交了画家朋友们，学到了看待艺术的新方法)”和“Though these new friends were abstract painters using oil paints, or were printmakers or sculptors, I took oil painting as the taboo (禁忌) high form I wasn’t allowed to practice. (虽然这些新朋友是使用油画颜料的抽象画师，或者是版画家或雕塑家，但我把油画作为禁忌的高级形式，不允许我练习)”可知，作者在30多岁时回避练习油画。故选A。 26.【解析】推理判断题。根据第四段“The dream felt so authoritative that it shook me. It was a form of energy, giving me back something I’d lost. (这个梦给我的感觉是如此的权威，它震撼了我。它是能量的一种形式，让我回我失去了的东西)”可知，作者的梦赋予作者练习油画的力量。故选B。 27.【解析】推理判断题。根据第六段“Becoming a successful painter calls for being resolute. I realised I was always afraid of wanting too much. (成为一名成功的画家需要有决心。我意识到我总是害怕想要得太多)”及文章内容可知，本文主要讲述了作者一直喜欢绘画，但中学时由于油画测试成绩较低，作者对绘画失去了信心。在40岁出头时，一个梦让作者重拾画油画的信心并接受了自身局限性的故事。由此可推知，我们能从文章中学到创作活动需要自信，故选D。 (2023·北京·高考) Sitting in the garden for my friend’s birthday. I felt a buzz (振动) in my pocket. My heart raced when I saw the email sender’s name. The email started off: “Dear Mr Green, thank you for your interest” and “the review process took longer than expected.” It ended with “We are sorry to inform you…” and my vision blurred (模糊). The position—measuring soil quality in the Sahara Desert as part of an undergraduate research programme — had felt like the answer I had spent years looking for. I had put so much time and emotional energy into applying, and I thought the rejection meant the end of the road for my science career. So I was shocked when, not long after the email, Professor Mary Devon, who was running the programme, invited me to observe the work being done in her lab. I jumped at the chance, and a few weeks later I was equally shocked—and overjoyed—when she invited me to talk with her about potential projects I could pursue in her lab. What she proposed didn’t seem as exciting as the original project I had applied to, but I was going to give it my all. I found myself working with a robotics professor on techniques for collecting data from the desert remotely. That project, which I could complete from my sofa instead of in the burning heat of the desert, not only survived the lockdown but worked where traditional methods didn’t. In the end, I had a new scientific interest to pursue. When I applied to graduate school, I found three programmes promising to allow me to follow my desired research direction. And I applied with the same anxious excitement as before. When I was rejected from one that had seemed like a perfect fit, it was undoubtedly difficult. But this time I had the perspective (视角) to keep it from sending me into panic. It helped that in the end I was accepted into one of the other programmes I was also excited about. Rather than setting plans in stone, I’ve learned that sometimes I need to take the opportunities that are offered, even if they don’t sound perfect at the time, and make the most of them. 24．How did the author feel upon seeing the email sender’s name? A．Anxious. B．Angry. C．Surprised. D．Settled. 25．After talking with Professor Devon, the author decided to ________. A．criticise the review process B．stay longer in the Sahara Desert C．apply to the original project again D．put his heart and soul into the lab work 26．According to the author, the project with the robotics professor was ________. A．demanding B．inspiring C．misleading D．amusing 27．What can we learn from this passage? A．An invitation is a reputation. B．An innovation is a resolution. C．A rejection can be a redirection. D．A reflection can be a restriction. 【答案】24．A 25．D 26．B 27．C 【主题】本文是一篇记叙文。文章中作者结合自己被拒绝后得到了更好的职业发展机会，告诉我们最初的拒绝给予了更好的方向。 24．【解析】推理判断题。根据第一段“My heart raced when I saw the email sender’s name. The email started off: “Dear Mr Green, thank you for your interest” and “the review process took longer than expected.” It ended with “We are sorry to inform you…”and my vision blurred (模糊). (当我看到邮件发件人的名字时，我的心跳加速了。这封邮件是这样开头的：“亲爱的格林先生，感谢您的关注”，“审核过程比预期的要长。”信的结尾是“我们很抱歉地通知你……”，我的视线模糊了)”可知，收到的是被拒绝的邮件，所以推测作者在看到电子邮件发件人的名字时感到焦虑。故选A。 25．【解析】细节理解题。根据第三段“So I was shocked when, not long after the email, Professor Mary Devon, who was running the programme, invited me to observe the work being done in her lab. I jumped at the chance, and a few weeks later I was equally shocked—and overjoyed—when she invited me to talk with her about potential projects I could pursue in her lab. What she proposed didn’t seem as exciting as the original project I had applied to, but I was going to give it my all. (因此，当我收到这封邮件后不久，负责这个项目的玛丽·德文教授邀请我去她的实验室观察正在进行的工作时，我感到非常震惊。我欣然接受了这个机会，几周后，当她邀请我和她谈谈我可以在她的实验室里从事的潜在项目时，我同样感到震惊——同时也是欣喜若狂。她提出的建议似乎没有我最初申请的项目那么令人兴奋，但我打算全力以赴)”可知，与德文教授交谈后，作者决定全心全意地投入实验室工作。故选D。 26．【解析】推理判断题。根据第四段“I found myself working with a robotics professor on techniques for collecting data from the desert remotely. That project, which I could complete from my sofa instead of in the burning heat of the desert, not only survived the lockdown but worked where traditional methods didn’t. In the end, I had a new scientific interest to pursue. (我发现自己和一个机器人教授一起研究从沙漠中远程收集数据的技术。我可以在沙发上完成这个项目，而不是在沙漠的酷热中完成，它不仅在封锁期间幸存下来，而且在传统方法不奏效的地方也奏效了。最后，我有了新的科学兴趣去追求)”可推知，机器人学教授的项目很鼓舞人心。故选B。 27．【解析】推理判断题。根据最后一段“Rather than setting plans in stone, I’ve learned that sometimes I need to take the opportunities that are offered, even if they don’t sound perfect at the time, and make the most of them. (我明白了有时候我需要抓住提供的机会，即使这些机会在当时听起来并不完美，也要充分利用，而不是一成不变地制定计划)”结合文章中作者结合自己被拒绝后得到了更好的职业发展机会，告诉我们最初的拒绝给予了更好的方向。故C选项“拒绝可以是重定向”最符合文章的主旨。故选C。 (2022·北京·高考) My name is Alice. Early last year, I was troubled by an anxiety that crippled ( 削弱 ) my ability to do anything. I felt like a storm cloud hung over me. For almost a year I struggled on, constantly staring at this wall that faced me. My perfectionist tendencies were the main root of this: I wanted to be perfect at whatever I did, which obviously in life is not possible, but it consumed me. One day, I attended a presentation by wildlife conservationist Grant Brown at my high school. His presentation not only awed and inspired me, but also helped emerge an inner desire to make a difference in the world. I joined a pre-presentation dinner with him and that smaller setting allowed me to slowly build up my courage to speak one-on-one with him—an idea that had seemed completely impossible. This first contact was where my story began. A month later, Brown invited me to attend the World Youth Wildlife Conference. Looking back, I now see that this would be the first in a series of timely opportunities that my old self would have let pass, but that this new and more confident Alice enthusiastically seized. Shortly after I received his invitation, applications to join the Youth for Nature and the Youth for Planet groups were sent around through my high school. I decided to commit to completing the applications, and soon I was a part of a growing global team of young people working to protect nature. Each of these new steps continued to grow my confidence. I am writing this just six months since my journey began and I’ve realised that my biggest obstacle ( 障碍 ) this whole time was myself. It was that voice in the back of my head telling me that one phrase that has stopped so many people from reaching their potential: I can’t. They say good things come to those who wait; I say: grab every opportunity with everything you have and be impatient. After all, nature does not require our patience, but our action. 24. What was the main cause for Alice’s anxiety? A. Her inability to act her age. B. Her habit of consumption. C. Her desire to be perfect. D. Her lack of inspiration. 25. How did Grant Brown’s presentation influence Alice? A. She decided to do something for nature. B. She tasted the sweetness of friendship. C. She learned about the harm of desire. D. She built up her courage to speak up. 26. The activities Alice joined in helped her to become more ________. A. intelligent B. confident C. innovative D. critical 27. What can we learn from this passage? A. Practice makes perfect. B. Patience is a cure of anxiety. C. Action is worry’s worst enemy. D. Everything comes to those who wait. 【答案】24. C 25. A 26. B 27. C 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述作者通过参加保护自然活动治愈好了自己的焦虑。 24.【解析】细节理解题。由文章第一段“My perfectionist tendencies were the main root of this: I wanted to be perfect at whatever I did, which obviously in life is not possible, but it consumed me.(我的完美主义倾向是这一点的主要根源：无论我做什么，我都想做到完美，这在生活中显然是不可能的，但它消耗了我。)”可知，是要求完美导致了焦虑。故选C项。 25.【解析】细节理解题。由文章第二段“One day, I attended a presentation by wildlife conservationist Grant Brown at my high school. His presentation not only awed and inspired me, but also helped emerge an inner desire to make a difference in the world. (一天，我在高中参加了野生动物保护主义者Grant Brown的演讲。他的演讲不仅让我感到敬畏和鼓舞，还帮助我产生了一种内在的愿望，希望在世界上有所作为。)”和文章第三段“ Shortly after I received his invitation, applications to join the Youth for Nature and the Youth for Planet groups were sent around through my high school. I decided to commit to completing the applications, and soon I was a part of a growing global team of young people working to protect nature. (在我收到他的邀请后不久，我的高中就收到了加入“Youth for Nature”和“Youth for Plane”组织的申请。我决定致力于完成这些申请，很快我就成为了一个日益壮大的全球年轻人保护自然团队的一员。)”可知，是Grant Brown让作者开始为从事保护自然地活动中。故选A项。 26.【解析】细节理解题。由文章第三段“I decided to commit to completing the applications, and soon I was a part of a growing global team of young people working to protect nature.

I’d say that he was about 40 years older than his classmates in my undergraduate communications class. He eagerly jumped into class discussions, with his humor and wisdom of experience. And he was always respectful of the other students’ perspectives, as if each of them were a teacher. Jerry Valencia walked in with a smile — and he left with one too. “These students gave me the confidence that I didn’t need to feel bad about my age,” Valencia says. One day, I spotted Valencia on campus. He said he would have to stop taking classes that semester and reapply for next year. By then, he hoped to have earned enough money and have his student-loan papers in order. He asked seriously whether he could still sit in on my communications class. Sure, I said. But he wouldn’t get any credit. No problem, he said. Soon there he was again, back at his old desk, jumping into our discussions on how to find and tell stories in Los Angeles — a 63-year-old man with as much energy and curiosity as any of the youngsters in class. A lot of Valencia’s classmates apparently knew he couldn’t afford that semester’s tuition but was still doing the homework. “Here he is, willingly taking a class for the delight of it and benefit of learning,” says Jessica Espinosa, a 25-year-old junior. Afterward, I overheard Valencia wanted to stay in school until he earned a master’s degree, but it had taken him 12 years to finish community college, so he had a long way to go. There is something splendidly unreasonable about Valencia’s determination to get a four-year degree and then a master’s. At his current pace, he’ll be 90 when he finally hangs all that paper on the wall. But that doesn’t seem especially relevant. He’s found all the youthful energy and academic opportunity stimulating. Valencia’s grade in my class this semester will not show up on his transcripts (成绩单). But I’m giving him an A — and in the most important ways, it counts. 1．What made Valencia different from his classmates? A．He was respectful to the teacher. B．He activated the class atmosphere. C．He was eager to learn despite his age. D．He often put forward different opinions. 2．According to the author, why did Valencia continue to attend classes? A．He treasured the chance of learning. B．He wished to show his determination. C．He needed the credits to further his study. D．He desired to have an A on his transcripts. 3．What can we learn from the passage? A．No pains, no gains. B．It is never too old to learn. C．Strike the iron while it is hot. D．Where there is life, there is hope. 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．B 【解析】本文是一篇记叙文。本文讲述了一个关于“活到老，学到老”的故事。杰里·瓦伦西亚是一个63岁的大三学生，尽管年龄很大，但他对学习仍然充满热情。在课堂上，他会积极参加讨论，尊重其他同学的观点，很多学生对他的精神充满了敬佩。他并没有足够的钱去支付学费但他仍不放弃，通过工作赚钱，坚持继续完成学业，还要继续读研。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段中的“The student arrived early, sat front and center, and stood out in my classroom in more ways than one. I’d say that he was about 40 years older than his classmates in my undergraduate communications class.(这个学生很早就到了，坐在前排和中间，在我的教室里，他在很多方面都很突出。我得说，他比我本科传播学班上的同学大40岁左右)”、第三段“He said he would have to stop taking classes that semester and reapply for next year. By then, he hoped to have earned enough money and have his student-loan papers in order. He asked seriously whether he could still sit in on my communications class. (他说他那学期将不得不停止上课，并重新申请明年的课程。到那时，他希望能赚到足够的钱，并把学生贷款文件办妥。他严肃地问我是否还能旁听我的交际课)”、第六段“Soon there he was again, back at his old desk, jumping into our discussions on how to find and tell stories in Los Angeles—a 63-year-old man with as much energy and curiosity as any of the youngsters in class. (很快，他又回来了，回到他的旧桌子旁，加入到我们关于如何在洛杉矶寻找和讲述故事的讨论中——一个63岁的男人，和班上任何一个年轻人一样充满活力和好奇心)”、第七段“A lot of Valencia’s classmates apparently knew he couldn’t afford that semester’s tuition but was still doing the homework.(瓦伦西亚的很多同学显然知道他付不起那学期的学费，但他仍然在做作业)”和“Afterward, I overheard Valencia wanted to stay in school until he earned a master’s degree, but it had taken him 12 years to finish community college, so he had a long way to go.(后来，我无意中听到瓦伦西亚想留在学校直到获得硕士学位，但他花了12年时间才完成社区大学学业，所以他还有很长的路要走)”可知，瓦伦西亚与他的同学的不同之处在于：尽管他年纪大了，但他渴望学习。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“A lot of Valencia’s classmates apparently knew he couldn’t afford that semester’s tuition but was still doing the homework. “Here he is, willingly taking a class for the delight of it and benefit of learning,” says Jessica Espinosa, a 25-year-old junior.(瓦伦西亚的许多同学显然知道他付不起那学期的学费，但他仍在做作业。25岁的大三学生杰西卡·埃斯皮诺萨说：“他来了，为了学习的乐趣和益处，他很乐意去上课。”)”可知，瓦伦西亚继续上课是因为他得到了学习的乐趣，珍惜学习的机会。故选A。 3．主旨大意题。通读全文，本文讲述了一个关于“活到老，学到老”的故事。杰里·瓦伦西亚是一个63岁的大三学生，尽管年龄很大，但他对学习仍然充满热情。在课堂上，他会积极参加讨论，尊重其他同学的观点，很多学生对他的精神充满了敬佩。他没有足够的钱去支付学费但他仍不放弃，通过工作赚钱，坚持继续完成学业，还要继续读研。可得出这篇文章主要告诉我们“It is never too old to learn. (活到老，学到老。)”的道理。故选B。 2 (2025届北京市精华学校高三下学期三模英语试题) By my early 40s, I had exhausted all the hobbies that were supposed to make me feel better about entering middle age. I had taken an improv class, started learning a new language, and given yoga a second chance. And then, at the height of my lowgrade desperation, I decided to sign up for a ballet class. “But you’ re not very flexible,” my husband gently reminded me. He wasn’t wrong. I nearly injured myself the one time I tried to lift my leg onto our bathroom vanity in an attempt to stretch. But I was determined to give it a try. I needed confirmation that my body was capable of movement and grace. I hadn’t expected any of it to stick. After all, this wasn’t my first time in a ballet studio. But this time around, the exact same things that had made me flee the studio as a 10-year-old now brought a certain joy. The repetitive nature of exercises at the barre. The fact that my every move invited my teacher’s critical dissection. And though I’d expected my classes to be physically demanding and my muscles to ache, I hadn’t anticipated that my teacher’s command to “take up more space” would change my way of being in the world. When I was depressed for my lack of grace in the seemingly simple act of pointing and extending my foot to the side in a tendu, my teacher reminded me that ballet isn’t about perfection. Rather, he said, it’s about striving for perfection. Eight years into my ballet classes, I am finally a ballerina at the tender age of 50, though not the kind that anybody would pay money to see on stage. Why do I continue? Because when I do my almost daily ballet class, I focus on my breathing and move my body in ways that always challenge me and remind me of everything that is possible. Recently, my teacher taught us a watered-down, beginner-appropriate version of the Rose Adagio choreography from Sleeping Beauty. As I stood in my living room, dancing for nobody but myself, I felt every inch a ballerina. 1．What initially motivated the author to sign up for a ballet class? A．To improve her physical flexibility and mental health. B．To find a new hobby that could make her feel better about entering middle age. C．To prepare for the upcoming ballet competition. D．To achieve her dream at 10-year-old to be a ballerina. 2．How did the author’s perspective on ballet change over time? A．She became less interested in ballet as she grew older. B．She started to see ballet as a way to achieve physical perfection. C．She realized that ballet is more about striving for perfection than achieving it. D．She decided to quit ballet because it was too physically demanding. 3．What’s the main idea of this passage? A．It’s never too old to learn. B．Practice makes perfect. C．You can’t teach an old dog new tricks. D．The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．A 【解析】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者在40多岁时为了缓解中年焦虑报名参加芭蕾舞班，随着时间推移对芭蕾有了新认识，坚持多年后在50岁成为了自己心中的芭蕾舞演员。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段“By my early 10s, I had exhausted all the hobbies that were supposed to make me feel better about entering middle age. I had taken an improv class, started learning a new language, and given yoga a second chance. And then, at the height of my lowgrade desperation, I decided to sign up for a ballet class.(年过四十，我尝试了各种据说能缓解中年焦虑的爱好，却始终兴致索然。我上过即兴表演课，学过新语言，还给了瑜伽第二次机会。后来，在一种淡淡的绝望感驱使下，我决定报名参加芭蕾舞班)”可知，作者报名参加芭蕾舞班最初的动机是找到一种缓解中年焦虑的新爱好，让自己对步入中年感觉更好。故选B项。 2．细节理解题。根据第五段“When I was depressed for my lack of grace in the seemingly simple act of pointing and extending my foot to the side in a tendu, my teacher reminded me that ballet isn’t about perfection. Rather, he said, it’s about striving for perfection.(当我因为在看似简单的绷脚动作中缺乏优雅而沮丧时，我的老师提醒我，芭蕾的真谛不在于完美。相反，他说，重要的是永远向着完美进发)”可知，作者随着时间的推移，意识到芭蕾更多的是追求完美而不是实现完美。故选C项。 3．主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第一段中“By my early 40s, I had exhausted all the hobbies that were supposed to make me feel better about entering middle age. I had taken an improv class, started learning a new language, and given yoga a second chance.

People struggled daily just to put food on the table. By the time I turned sixteen, my father’s hard work had paid off. He had over eight hundred students across three campuses, and finally, we could afford a TV. That’s when I became fixated on the idea of owning a magic pencil, inspired by a TV series. The main character, Sanju could draw anything he desired, and it would come to life. Despite being sixteen and knowing deep down that the magic pencil was nothing more than a fantasy for kids, a part of me still longed for it. At night, I dreamed of using it to transform the lives of those around me. But as the days passed, the pencil was never there. One afternoon my mother asked me to throw away some potato peels and eggshells. I walked to the rubbish dump, wrinkling my nose as I got close. As I tossed our rubbish onto the heap, I saw a girl my age. She was sorting rubbish into piles, one for cans, one for bottles. Nearby, boys were fishing in the pile for metal using magnets on strings. Later that day, I dragged my father to see the children at the dump. I posed a question about their absence from school. He shared that their earnings from gathering discarded(废弃的) things sustained their families — schooling would leave their loved ones hungry. As we walked back home, I saw tears on his cheek. Until then, I’d pinned all my hopes on some unseen, miraculous force to come along and wipe out the suffering in our world. Now I knew I would have to do something. As much as I wanted to help the children from the dump, my mother wanted to help everyone. She left the extra pot of rice and chicken for a poor family in our neighborhood. We shared our home with a family of seven who had fallen on hard times. And although my father’s school wasn’t really making a profit, he gave away more than a hundred free places in different grades to poor children. He wished he could have given away more. Inspired by what my parents had done, I started volunteering at local community centers, helping children with their studies and organising food drives for families in need. Gradually, I realised that while a magic pencil might not exist, the power to make a difference lay within us. Together, we could create a kind of magic that was real and lasting. 1．The girl at the dump sorted rubbish into piles to ________. A．collect items for personal DJY hobbies B．support her family by selling recyclables C．complete assignments on waste recycling D．locate the necessities that could be reused 2．To help other people, the author’s family ________. A．cooked special food for the poor B．donated school profits to children C．built free houses for the homeless D．provided free education for children 3．What can we conclude from this passage? A．Real magic comes from kindness and effort. B．Education has the power to transform lives. C．Those doing good deeds deserve rewards. D．Ending poverty requires joint efforts. 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．A 【解析】本文是一篇记叙文。主要介绍了作者成长于贫困地区，从渴望拥有神奇铅笔改变现状，到受父母善举启发投身助人实践，最终领悟真正魔力源于自身善良与努力的历程。 1．细节理解题。根据第三段中的“As I tossed our rubbish  onto the heap, I saw a girl my age. She was sorting rubbish into piles,  one for cans, one for bottles. Nearby, boys were fishing in the pile for  metal using magnets on strings.(当我把我们的垃圾扔到垃圾堆上时，我看到了一个和我年龄相仿的女孩。她正在把垃圾分成几堆，一堆装罐头，一堆装瓶子。附近，男孩们正用绳子上的磁铁在堆里捞金属)”和第四段中的“He shared that their earnings from gathering discarded (废弃的) things sustained their families — schooling would leave their loved ones hungry.(他说，他们靠收集废弃物品所得的收入维持家庭生计——上学就会让家人挨饿)”可知，在垃圾场的女孩把垃圾分类，是为了通过售卖可回收物品来支撑家庭。故选B项。 2．细节理解题。根据第五段中的“And although my father’s school wasn’t really making a profit, he gave away more than a hundred free places in different grades to poor children.(虽然我父亲的学校并没有真正盈利，但他为贫困儿童提供了一百多个不同年级的免费名额)”可知，为帮助他人，作者一家为贫困儿童提供免费教育。故选D项。 3．推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Gradually, I realised that while a magic pencil might not exist, the power to make a difference lay within us. Together, we could create a kind of magic that was real and lasting.(渐渐地，我意识到虽然神奇的铅笔可能并不存在，但改变现状的力量就在我们自己身上。我们一起可以创造出一种真实而持久的魔力)”可推知，作者认识到真正的“魔力”来自于人们的善良和付出的努力。故选A项。 4 (2025届北京市昌平区高三下学期二模英语试题)At 17 years old, most are still learning basic driving skills in America. Once the car is parked, the day is packed with school activities and hanging out with friends. But at 17, Maggie Taraska had a distinctive goal in mind: Fly alone across the United States. Both of Maggie’s parents were retired from the air force, so the urge to fly is in Maggie’s blood. She went to flight school, put in the hours with an instructor and started on her training hours. But on her first takeoff, something didn’t sound right. The plane had lost one of the landing gear wheels. “As soon as I took off, I just heard something was wrong instinctively.” said Maggie. Her instructor talked to her from the ground while she circled a few times to gather herself. “I was frightened, thinking about all the bad things that could have happened; I was thinking about how my parents were on the ground as I knew they were watching.” Stress and panic can cause any of us to make careless decisions. It takes mental practice to calm down. “Take a few breaths, focus on the moment and follow the plan. I panicked a bit, but followed my training.” Maggie was a little shaky as she talked to the tower, but she had a perfect belly landing that skidded on the infield grass. Her father couldn’t be prouder. “By the time I saw Maggie on her approach, it was a better approach than I could have flown,” he said. Cheers erupted in the tower, and Maggie took a deep breath and climbed out of the plane. Credit does go to the crew for talking to her. Yes, we all need someone to talk us through challenging times, but in the end, it was all Maggie at the controls. We could all be forgiven for calling it quits after an experience like that. After all, it was a bit distressing. So walking away would be understandable. But five days later, Maggie was going through her pre-flight safety inspections, checking the wings, especially checking the landing gear. “It feels amazing,” she said, “It gives an incredible sense of liberation.” At some point in our lives, we will all be in a situation for the first time. It’s scary. But if you face your fears, the whole world opens up to you. 1．Maggie’s urge to fly alone was mainly influenced by ______. A．her parents’ background in air force B．her experience of school activities C．her instructor’s encouragements D．her basic driving skills 2．When Maggie heard something wrong during takeoff, she ______. A．landed the plane immediately B．thought of her parents’ expectation C．circled a few times to calm herself down D．continued flying as if nothing had happened 3．Which words would best describe Maggie’s personality? A．Proud and intelligent. B．Positive and cautious. C．Patient and responsible. D．Fearless and determined. 4．What can we learn from the passage? A．Failure is the mother of success. B．A good beginning is half done. C．Fortune favors the brave. D．Practice makes perfect. 【答案】1．A 2．C 3．D 4．C 【解析】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了17岁的Maggie Taraska克服重重困难，勇敢追求自己独自驾机飞越美国梦想的故事。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段“Both of Maggie’s parents were retired from the air force, so the urge to fly is in Maggie’s blood.(Maggie的父母都是从空军退役的，所以麦琪的血液里有飞行的冲动)”可知，Maggie想独自飞行的冲动主要受到她父母在空军的背景的影响。故选A。 2．细节理解题。根据第二段““As soon as I took off, I just heard something was wrong instinctively.” said Maggie.(“我一起飞，就本能地感觉到不对劲。”Maggie说)”和第三段“Her instructor talked to her from the ground while she circled a few times to gather herself.(她的教练在地上跟她说话，她绕了几圈，让自己镇定下来)”可知，当Maggie在起飞时听到有什么不对劲时，她绕了几圈让自己冷静下来。故选C。 3．推理判断题。根据第三段“Her instructor talked to her from the ground while she circled a few times to gather herself.(她的教练在地上跟她说话，她绕了几圈，让自己镇定下来)”，第四段““Take a few breaths, focus on the moment and follow the plan. I panicked a bit, but followed my training.”(“做几次深呼吸，专注于当下，按计划行事。我有点儿慌了，但还是按照训练的要求做了。”)”和最后一段“But if you face your fears, the whole world opens up to you.(但如果你直面恐惧，整个世界都会向你敞开大门)”可知，Maggie无所畏惧，意志坚定。故选D。 4．推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是第四段“Stress and panic can cause any of us to make careless decisions. It takes mental practice to calm down. “Take a few breaths, focus on the moment and follow the plan. I panicked a bit, but followed my training.”(压力和恐慌会让我们中的任何一个人做出草率的决定。要让自己冷静下来需要进行心理层面的练习。“做几次深呼吸，专注于当下，按计划行事。我有点儿慌了，但还是按照训练的要求做了。”)”和第五段“Maggie was a little shaky as she talked to the tower, but she had a perfect belly landing that skidded on the infield grass.(Maggie在和塔台通话时声音有些颤抖，但她完成了一次完美的腹部着陆，飞机在跑道内场的草地上滑行了一段距离)”可知，本文主要讲述了17岁的Maggie Taraska克服重重困难，勇敢追求自己独自驾机飞越美国梦想的故事，因此我们可以从文中学到“幸运垂青勇者”，即Fortune favors the brave。故选C。 5 (2025届北京市西城区高三下学期二模英语试题)In the quiet town of Greenfield, situated in the hills of upstate New York, David Lee had built a life around his art. His small studio in an old Victorian house was a sanctuary (庇护所) where he painted landscapes that captured (展现) the heart of the town he loved. The walls were covered with pieces of art, each one reflecting his dedication and passion. One crisp autumn evening, as the sun set, casting a golden glow over the town, David worked on what he believed was his best piece yet. Lost in his work, he barely noticed a flash of light in the corner of his eye. It was a neighbor who first saw the smoke. By the time David realized what was happening, the fire had spread through half of his studio. He rushed outside, horrified to see the flames (火焰) consuming everything he had worked so hard for. Within minutes, his studio was reduced to ashes. The following days were clouded with sorrow. David wandered the streets of Greenfield, confused and with no purpose. Friends and neighbors offered their support, but nothing could replace the years of work destroyed. One evening, as he sat on a bench in the town square, he noticed children drawing with chalk on the pavement. Their laughter and creativity cut through his despair. David realized his passion for art wasn’t tied to the physical space of his studio. It was something deeper within him. He decided to start over, to rebuild his life and art anew. With the help of his friends, David set up a small workspace in the community center. He began painting again, this time with renewed purpose. His first piece was an acknowledgment of Greenfield, capturing the town’s resilience (坚韧). As he painted, he felt a sense of peace he hadn’t felt in weeks. One day, while finishing a challenging piece, a young girl approached him. “What are you painting?” she asked. David smiled. “It’s a story,” he said. “A story of resilience and hope.” The girl nodded, her eyes reflecting the colors on the painting. “It’s beautiful,” she said. David felt warmth in his chest. He realized his art was about more than just paintings — it was about connecting with others and sharing his journey. From then on, David painted not only for himself but for everyone who needed a reminder of the beauty in the world. Though his studio had changed, his passion for art had been renewed, and in that, he found a new kind of resilience. 1．How did David feel after the fire destroyed his studio? A．Angry and bitter. B．Grateful and content. C．Lost and empty. D．Anxious and regretful. 2．What is the significance of the children drawing on the pavement? A．Their creativity helps David find joy again. B．They are a reminder of the fire’s destruction. C．They represent the future of art in Greenfield. D．They show how the town has forgotten about David’s art. 3．What is the theme of David’s first new painting after the fire? A．Renewal. B．Resilience. C．Peace. D．Passion. 4．What can we learn from the passage? A．The flash today is the silence tomorrow. B．The less you expect, the more you appreciate. C．The flame that burns you may also light your way. D．The greatest roadblocks are the ones you cannot see. 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．B 4．C 【解析】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了大卫·李的绘画工作室被烧毁，里面的作品也都烧毁了，在沮丧和迷茫的时候他看到孩子们在人行道上用粉笔画画。因此重新点燃了他内心对绘画的热爱。 1．细节理解题。根据第四段“The following days were clouded with sorrow.

His first piece was an acknowledgment of Greenfield, capturing the town’s resilience (坚韧).(他又开始画画了，这次带着新的目标。他的第一部作品是对格林菲尔德的认可，捕捉了这个小镇的韧性)”可知，火灾后大卫的第一幅新画的主题是韧性。故选B。 4．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Though his studio had changed, his passion for art had been renewed, and in that, he found a new kind of resilience.(虽然他的工作室换了，但他对艺术的热情又重燃了，在那里，他发现了一种新的韧性)”结合文章主要讲述了大卫·李的绘画工作室被烧毁，里面的作品也都烧毁了，在沮丧和迷茫的时候他看到孩子们在人行道上用粉笔画画重新点燃了他内心对绘画的热爱。由此可知，从本文可以得出“灼伤你的火焰，也能照亮你的道路”。故选C。 6 (2025届北京市朝阳区高三下学期二模考试英语试题) Writing is a bug, and I caught it very early on in life. When my parents cleared their storage room out recently, they found The Story Book Special I wrote when I was nine years old. I couldn’t believe my imagination was so wild. Reading it reminded me of how special words had been to me at an early age. It’s a feeling that has lasted, through my school years and far, far beyond. At the age of 18, I joined Kent Police and spent twelve years living every little boy’s dream of driving cars fast and playing cops and robbers for real. It’s safe to say it’s a career I’d still be in now, if not for what happened when I was 28. I was a fit man when, unexpectedly, I was diagnosed with an incurable heart disease. It’s the disease you hear of when a sportsperson suddenly drops dead on the field of play. But, you know what, it’s one of the best things to have happened to me. When this happened, I made a to-do list. At the top of it was to write a full-length, “proper” book. I wrote the first draft of my first novel in three months and loved every minute of the process. I knew this was what I wanted to do, more than anything, and getting into publishing can’t be that hard... right? Wrong! As every author knows, brick walls are everywhere, and when you knock one down, there’s another one. After a few false starts, I coupled with my wonderful agent, Nicky. We spent eight solid months editing and sent the manuscript off. Once again, we received some dressed-up “no’s”, until Rachel, an editor I’d really wanted to work with, read it. Her vision for the book is exactly consistent with mine! Now my first novel is optioned for television, and is in the hands of a wonderful production team both here in London, and in Australia where it will be filmed. Writing is what I love, and seeing my little story book from when I was nine really drove it home to me. We don’t often get another chance in life, but I was given one when I survived something tragically fatal. Now, with my second chance, I’m giving it the best go I can. 1．How did the author feel when reading The Story Book Special? A．Nervous. B．Relieved. C．Proud. D．Ashamed. 2．After being told he had heart disease, the author decided to ___________. A．get a job in publishing B．continue working as a policeman C．pick up a new hobby D．pursue his passion for words 3．What happened when the author acted on his to-do list? A．His first novel was turned down many times. B．He adapted his novel and filmed it in Australia. C．He worked with a co-author to improve the draft. D．His continuous efforts earned Rachel’s appreciation. 4．What can we learn from this passage? A．Two heads are better than one. B．A little bit more sums up success. C．It’s hard to change one’s nature. D．A setback is a setup for a comeback. 【答案】1．C 2．D 3．A 4．D 【解析】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述作者从小热爱写作，患病后坚持写作并取得成果的经历。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段中“I couldn’t believe my imagination was so wild. Reading it reminded me of how special words had been to me at an early age.(我不敢相信我的想象力如此丰富。阅读它让我想起在很小的时候，文字对我来说是多么特别)”可知，作者读自己九岁时写的《特别故事书》时感到很自豪。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据第四段中“When this happened, I made a to-do list. At the top of it was to write a full-length, ‘proper’ book.(当这一切发生时，我列了一个待办事项清单。排在首位的是写一本完整的、‘像样的’书)”可知，在被诊断出患有心脏病后，作者决定追求他对文字的热爱。故选D。 3．细节理解题。根据倒数第三段中“After a few false starts, I coupled with my wonderful agent, Nicky. We spent eight solid months editing and sent the manuscript off. Once again, we received some dressed-up ‘no’s’, until Rachel, an editor I’d really wanted to work with, read it.(在几次失败的尝试后，我和我出色的经纪人尼基合作。我们花了整整八个月的时间进行编辑，然后把稿子寄了出去。我们再次收到了一些委婉的拒绝，直到我想合作的编辑雷切尔读了它)”可知，当作者按照待办事项清单行事时，他的第一部小说被多次拒绝。故选A。 4．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“We don’t often get another chance in life, but I was given one when I survived something tragically fatal. Now, with my second chance, I’m giving it the best go I can.(我们一生中往往没有第二次机会，但当我在一场致命的悲剧中幸存下来时，我得到了第二次机会。现在，有了第二次机会，我会尽我所能去争取)”可知，我们能从这篇文章中学到挫折是东山再起的铺垫。故选D。 7 (2025届北京市海淀区高三下学期期末练习（二模）英语试题)When I arrived at the Sign Language Center in Manhattan for my first American Sign Language (ASL) class, a man took one look at my hesitant posture and held up some fingers. One? Two? I put up one finger, and he directed me to the Level 1 class. It was disorienting: Class time was strictly “voices off” to encourage immersive learning and to show respect to the deaf teachers. Without the power of speech, all my classmates and I could do was smile and nod at one another as we took in the new vocabulary. Learning ASL in the early weeks was a culture shock and a bruise to my ego. As a writer, I pride myself on a certain facility with language. I was taught that there’s a perfect combination of words that can most precisely communicate any thought. With ASL, I expected to feel similarly, and thought fluency would come once I collected a critical mass of signs. The first thing you learn in ASL class is the alphabet. As my classmates and I asked and answered questions using words we didn’t have the signs for, those early weeks were filled with laborious spelling. It was embarrassing: Seeing a dozen politely smiling faces watching me as I slowly spelled, misspelled and restarted spelling words— often multiple times— was its own kind of torture. Over time, I picked up on new conventions, like waving a hand or stomping on the ground to get someone’s attention. My fingers stalled as they reached for new shapes, and I struggled to differentiate very similar looking signs. Eventually I realized that when you’re communicating in sign language, diction (措词) is not as important as the way you embody what you’re communicating. I once asked a teacher how to sign the word “desperate”. “ASL doesn’t have a direct translation of every English word,” he told me. “If you want to sign ‘desperate’, you might just sign the word ‘want’, but with the appropriate facial and body posturing to show your desperation. It doesn’t make sense to sign ‘frustrated’ if your face doesn’t look at all frustrated,” he added — it’s like speaking in a deadpan monotone while claiming you’re angry. I’ve been attending ASL classes for almost two years. Initially, my reason was trivial: a childhood fascination with “secret languages”. While ASL may not wholly share a vocabulary with English, that doesn’t mean it lacks precision. Its precision, I’ve learned, lies in the common language of the body. 1．How did the author feel in the first ASL class? A．Frustrated. B．Confused. C．Anxious. D．Hesitant. 2．What made the author embarrassed when learning the alphabet? A．Putting on smiling facial expressions. B．Being made fun of in front of the class. C．Waving a hand to get someone’s attention. D．Misspelling and respelling words repeatedly. 3．According to the passage, what can we learn about ASL? A．It’s a universal language system across cultures. B．It conveys more emotions than verbal language. C．It requires a combination of signs and emotions. D．It has a direct translation of signs for every word. 4．What has the author learned from her learning experience? A．The body is what gives language life. B．Diction is what gives language flavour. C．Fluency comes from the mastery of signs. D．ASL prioritizes precision over communication. 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．C 4．A 【解析】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者在纽约曼哈顿的手语中心学习美国手语的经历，以及在这个过程中对语言和沟通方式的新认识。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段中的“It was disorienting: Class time was strictly ‘voices off’ to encourage immersive learning and to show respect to the deaf teachers. Without the power of speech, all my classmates and I could do was smile and nod at one another as we took in the new vocabulary.(这让人感到困惑：课堂时间严格要求“禁止说话”，以鼓励沉浸式学习并尊重聋人教师。没有说话的能力，我的同学们和我所能做的只是微笑和点头，同时吸收新词汇)”可知，作者在第一堂课上感到困惑。故选B项。 2．细节理解题。根据第二段中的“It was embarrassing: Seeing a dozen politely smiling faces watching me as I slowly spelled, misspelled and restarted spelling words— often multiple times— was its own kind of torture.(这很尴尬：看到十几张礼貌地微笑的脸看着我，我慢慢地拼写、拼错并重新拼写单词——通常多次——这本身就是一种折磨)”可知，作者在学习字母表时，因为反复拼错和重新拼写单词而感到尴尬。故选D项。 3．细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Eventually I realized that when you’re communicating in sign language, diction (措词) is not as important as the way you embody what you’re communicating. I once asked a teacher how to sign the word ‘desperate’. ‘ASL doesn’t have a direct translation of every English word,’ he told me. ‘If you want to sign ‘desperate’, you might just sign the word ‘want’, but with the appropriate facial and body posturing to show your desperation. It doesn’t make sense to sign ‘frustrated’ if your face doesn’t look at all frustrated,’ he added— it’s like speaking in a deadpan monotone while claiming you’re angry.(最终我意识到，当你用手语交流时，措词不如你如何体现你所传达的内容重要。我曾问一位老师如何用手语表达‘绝望’。‘ASL并没有每个英语单词的直接翻译，’他告诉我。‘如果你想用手语表达‘绝望’，你可能只需要用手语表达‘想要’，但要通过适当的面部和身体姿势来表达你的绝望。如果你的脸上一点也没有表现出沮丧，那么用手语表达‘沮丧’是没有意义的，’他补充说——这就像用单调的语调说话，却声称你很生气)”可知，ASL需要结合手势和情感来传达信息。故选C项。 4．细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“While ASL may not wholly share a vocabulary with English, that doesn’t mean it lacks precision. Its precision, I’ve learned, lies in the common language of the body.(尽管ASL可能并不完全与英语共享词汇，但这并不意味着它缺乏精确性。我学到的是，它的精确性在于肢体语言)”可知，作者从学习经历中学到的是，肢体语言在手语中很重要，即身体是赋予语言生命的。故选A项。 8 (2025届北京市东城区高三下学期二模英语试题)Last year, I took my first trip to Sheffield, where my new friend Esme lived. From the moment we stepped off the train, strangers spoke to us — making small talk with an openness and warmth I hadn’t expected. Then a couple approached us, asking if we could witness their wedding. They explained that they were supposed to have a low-key wedding, but had missed their first appointment at the register office because of delayed trains. They had been able to reschedule, but had no witnesses for the ceremony. Desperately, they asked us if we would like to step in. On hearing this, the part of me raised on suspicion awakened. But another part that leans into trust and curiosity told me to say yes. I was raised to approach strangers with caution. My parents drilled in me the idea that trust had to be earned; they had seen the risks that come with being vulnerable (脆弱的) in a new environment. Being watchful of the unfamiliar was their way of ensuring we stayed safe. As I got older, their anxieties became my own. Yet there was something charming about the couple’s sincerity, so we agreed. We arrived at the register office with seconds to spare. It was just the six of us: two lovers, two friends and two registrars — pairs connected in different ways, yet all sharing in the quiet magic of the moment. The ceremony was quick and touching, and I teared up on several occasions. The simplicity of it felt meaningful. To me, their wedding symbolized an act of bravery. Trusting complete strangers to witness one of the most significant moments of their lives seemed no small challenge — they had no guarantees, just a belief in human kindness, and somehow, that faith had been rewarded. Looking back, I can’t help but think of how my parents might have reacted if I’d told them I was going to be witnessing a couple’s wedding with someone I had only recently met. But, ever since, I have made a conscious effort to acknowledge life’s uncertainties and accept them where possible. It’s easy to live life with a protective layer, but it can lead to loneliness. Moments of connection are precious, and sometimes it’s worth taking a risk. 1．Why did the couple ask for help? A．Because they missed the train. B．Because they needed witnesses. C．Because they tried to start small talk. D．Because they wanted to share their joy. 2．The author hesitated at first due to ______. A．unsafe environment B．a lack of curiosity C．inborn distrust D．a planted belief 3．What can we learn from the author’s experience? A．Many hands make light work. B．One good turn deserves another. C．A joy shared can be a joy doubled. D．A leap of faith may unlock delights. 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．D 【解析】这是一篇记叙文，文章主要讲作者摆脱自己根深蒂固的观念，和朋友一起为一对陌生夫妇见证婚礼仪式，最终收获了感动。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段中“They had been able to reschedule, but had no witnesses for the ceremony. Desperately, they asked us if we would like to step in.(他们可以重新安排时间，但没有证人出席仪式。他们绝望地问我们是否愿意介入)”可知，那对夫妻请求帮助是因为他们找不到人见证仪式，故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据第二段中“I was raised to approach strangers with caution. My parents drilled in me the idea that trust had to be earned; they had seen the risks that come with being vulnerable (脆弱的) in a new environment. Being watchful of the unfamiliar was their way of ensuring we stayed safe. As I got older, their anxieties became my own.(我从小就被教导要谨慎对待陌生人。我的父母向我灌输信任必须要赢得的观念；他们已经看到了在新环境中脆弱所带来的风险。对不熟悉的事物保持警惕是他们确保我们安全的方式。随着年龄的增长，他们的焦虑变成了我自己的焦虑)”可知，作者从小就被教育要谨慎对待陌生人，对不熟悉的事物保持警惕，所以有所怀疑，所以作者一开始犹豫是因为一种根深蒂固的观念，故选D。 3．推理判断题。根据全文内容，结合第三段中“Trusting complete strangers to witness one of the most significant moments of their lives seemed no small challenge — they had no guarantees, just a belief in human kindness. and somehow, that faith had been rewarded.(让完全陌生的人见证他们生命中最重要的时刻似乎不是一个小挑战——他们没有任何保证，只是相信人性是善良的。不知何故，这种信念得到了回报)”和最后一段中“It’s easy to live life with a protective layer, but it can lead to loneliness. Moments of connection are precious, and sometimes it’s worth taking a risk.(有保护层的生活很容易，但它会导致孤独。联系的时刻是宝贵的，有时值得冒一下险)”可知，作者摆脱根深蒂固的要对陌生人保持警惕的观念，和朋友一起为一对陌生夫妇见证婚礼仪式，最终收获了感动，故从作者的经历中可推知信任的飞跃可能会带来快乐，故选D。 9 (2025届北京通州区高三一模英语试题) A teacher in New York decided to honor each of her seniors in high school by telling them the difference they each made to her and the class. She presented each of them with a blue ribbon imprinted with gold letters which read, “Who I Am Makes a Difference”. Afterwards the teacher gave each of the students three more ribbons and instructed them to spread this recognition to ceremony. One of the boys in the class honored a junior executive in a nearby company for helping him with his career planning and later that day the junior executive went to see his boss, who had been noted as being kind of a bad tempered fellow. He told his boss that he deeply admired him for being a creative genius. Then the junior executive placed the blue ribbon on his boss’s jacket. That night the boss came home to his 14-year-old son and sat him down. He said, “The most incredible thing happened to me today. I was in my office and one of the junior executives came in and told me he admired me and gave me a blue ribbon for being a creative genius. Imagine. He thinks I’m a creative genius. Then he put the blue ribbon that says ‘Who I Am Makes A Difference’ on my jacket above my heart. He gave me an extra ribbon and asked me to find somebody else to honor. As I was driving home tonight, I started thinking about whom I would honor with this ribbon and I thought about you, I want to honor you.” “My days are really stressful and when I come home, I don’t pay a lot of attention to you. Sometimes I scream at you for not getting good enough grades in school and for your bedroom being a mess, but somehow tonight, I just wanted to let you know that you do make a difference to me. Besides your mother, you are the most important person in my life. You’re a great kid and I love you!” The astonished boy started to sob and sob, and he couldn’t stop crying. His whole body shook. After a long silence, he looked up at his father and said through his tears, “Thank you, Dad. This blue ribbon means more to me than anything. I love you too.” 1．The teacher gave each student three more ribbons in order to ______.

A．teachers have great influences on students B．it is important to express gratitude to others C．everyone needs to be recognized and appreciated D．parents should pay more attention to their children 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．A 4．C 【解析】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述的是一个关于“蓝丝带”的感恩故事，通过师生、父子以及同事之间的情感互动，强调每个人都渴望被认可和欣赏。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Afterwards the teacher gave each of the students three more ribbons and instructed them to spread this recognition to ceremony. (之后，老师又给了每个学生三条蓝丝带，并指示他们将这种认可传递下去。)”可知，老师给每个学生额外的三条蓝丝带是为了让他们传递这种认可的行为。故选B。 2．推理判断题。根据第四段中的“My days are really stressful and when I come home, I don’t pay a lot of attention to you. Sometimes I scream at you for not getting good enough grades in school and for your bedroom being a mess, but somehow tonight, I just wanted to let you know that you do make a difference to me. (我的日子压力很大，当我回家时，我没有太关注你。有时我会因为你在学校成绩不够好，以及你的卧室一团糟而对你大喊大叫，但不知怎么的，今晚，我只是想让你知道你对我来说真的很重要。)”可知，在收到蓝丝带之前，他的工作压力很大，不关注儿子，而且还在孩子表现不佳时乱吼孩子，由此可推断，他对家庭责任不够重视，更专注于工作。故选D。 3．推理判断题。根据最后一段“The astonished boy started to sob and sob, and he couldn’t stop crying. His whole body shook. After a long silence, he looked up at his father and said through his tears, “Thank you, Dad. This blue ribbon means more to me than anything. I love you too.” (这个惊讶的男孩开始抽泣，他止不住地哭泣。他的整个身体都在颤抖。长时间的沉默后，他抬头看着父亲，流着泪说：“谢谢你，爸爸。这条蓝丝带对我来说比什么都重要。我也爱你。”)”可知，孩子听到父亲的话止不住的哭泣，沉默长时间后，最后抬起头对爸爸表达了爱，由此可推断，听到父亲的话后，男孩因为长期以来的不安感得到了缓解。故选A。 4．主旨大意题。通读全文，结合首段“She presented each of them with a blue ribbon imprinted with gold letters which read, “Who I Am Makes a Difference”. Afterwards the teacher gave each of the students three more ribbons and instructed them to spread this recognition to ceremony. (她送给每位学生一条印有金色字母的蓝色丝带，上面写着：“我就是与众不同”。之后，老师又给了每位学生三条额外的丝带，并指导他们将这种认可传递下去。)”可知，文章讲述了老师给学生蓝丝带让他们传递认可，结合下文讲述的学生将认可传递给公司初级主管，初级主管又传递给老板，老板最后认可了儿子，这一系列故事体现了每个人都需要被认可和欣赏，由此可知，本文主要告诉我们：每个人都需要被认可和欣赏。故选C。 10 (2025届北京市门头沟区高三下学期3月综合练习（一模）英语试题)When Sarah was 12 years old, she was diagnosed with a rare condition that affected her ability to walk. Doctors told her she might never run again. But Sarah refused to accept this. She had always loved running, and the thought of losing it was unbearable. With determination and the support of her family, she began a long and difficult journey to regain her strength. For months, Sarah underwent physical therapy, spending hours each day relearning how to move her legs. Progress was slow, and there were days when she felt like giving up. But her mother always reminded her, “Every step forward, no matter how small, is a victory.” These words became Sarah’s motto, pushing her to keep going. She started by taking a few steps with a walker, then progressed to walking short distances on her own. Each milestone, no matter how small, filled her with hope. By the time she turned 15, Sarah had made significant progress. She could walk short distances without assistance, but running still seemed like a distant dream. That’s when she met Coach Miller, a former marathon runner who believed in her potential. He designed a special training program for Sarah, focusing on building her endurance and confidence. “You have the heart of a runner,” he told her. “Now we just need to train your body to keep up.” The first time Sarah tried to run, she only managed a few steps before collapsing in tears. But Coach Miller was there, encouraging her to try again. “Failure is just a step on the path to success,” he said. Over the next year, Sarah trained tirelessly, gradually increasing her distance and speed. She faced setbacks, including muscle pain and moments of self-doubt, but she never gave up. At 17, Sarah entered her first race — a local 5K. She didn’t win, but she crossed the finish line with a smile on her face. For Sarah, it wasn’t about winning; it was about proving to herself that she could do it. Today, Sarah is a competitive runner and an inspiration to others facing challenges. Her story reminds us that with persistence and support, even the toughest obstacles can be overcome. 1．What was Sarah’s initial reaction to her disease? A．She accepted it immediately. B．She felt relieved to stop running. C．She decided to focus on other hobbies. D．She didn’t believe she couldn’t run again. 2．Which word would best describe Sarah’s mother’s words? A．Imaginative. B．Encouraging. C．Constructive. D．Entertaining. 3．Why did Coach Miller’s training program focus on endurance and confidence? A．Because Sarah needed to overcome physical and mental barriers. B．Because Sarah had little potential in running long distances. C．Because Sarah wanted to win races quickly. D．Because Sarah suffered from muscle pain. 4．What did Sarah’s participation in the 5K race show? A．Her need to impress others. B．Her determination to win at all costs. C．Her desire to prove her ability to herself. D．Her acceptance of her physical limitations. 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．A 4．C 【解析】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了12岁被诊断患影响行走疾病、被告知可能无法再跑步的莎拉，在家人支持和教练帮助下，历经艰难训练，17岁参加5K比赛证明了自己，如今成为激励他人的跑步者 。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段“Doctors told her she might never run again. But Sarah refused to accept this. She had always loved running, and the thought of losing it was unbearable.(医生告诉她，她可能再也不能跑了。但莎拉拒绝接受这一点。她一直很喜欢跑步，一想到要失去它，她就难以忍受)”可知，莎拉最初对自己疾病的反应是她不相信自己不能再跑步了。故选D项。 2．推理判断题。根据第二段“But her mother always reminded her, “Every step forward, no matter how small, is a victory.” These words became Sarah’s motto, pushing her to keep going.(但她的母亲总是提醒她，“每一步前进，无论多么小，都是一场胜利。”这些话成为了莎拉的座右铭，激励她继续前进)”可知，莎拉母亲的话激励莎拉继续前进。由此推知，莎拉母亲的话是令人鼓舞的。故选B项。 3．推理判断题。根据第三段“She could walk short distances without assistance, but running still seemed like a distant dream. That’s when she met Coach Miller, a former marathon runner who believed in her potential. He designed a special training program for Sarah, focusing on building her endurance and confidence. “You have the heart of a runner,” he told her. “Now we just need to train your body to keep up.”(她可以在没有帮助的情况下走很短的距离，但跑步似乎仍然是一个遥远的梦想。就在那时，她遇到了米勒教练，这位前马拉松运动员相信她的潜力。他为莎拉设计了一个特殊的训练计划，重点是培养她的耐力和信心。“你有一颗跑步者的心，”他告诉她。“现在我们只需要训练你的身体来跟上。”)”和第四段“But Coach Miller was there, encouraging her to try again. “Failure is just a step on the path to success,” he said. Over the next year, Sarah trained tirelessly, gradually increasing her distance and speed. She faced setbacks, including muscle pain and moments of self-doubt, but she never gave up.(但米勒教练在那里，鼓励她再试一次。他说：“失败只是通往成功之路的一步。”。在接下来的一年里，莎拉不知疲倦地训练，逐渐增加了她的距离和速度。她面临着挫折，包括肌肉疼痛和自我怀疑的时刻，但她从未放弃)”可知，莎拉因为疾病身体上有局限性，在跑步训练中也面临着肌肉疼痛和自我怀疑等心理问题。由此推知，教练米勒的训练计划侧重于耐力和信心是因为莎拉需要克服身体和心理上的障碍。故选A项。 4．细节理解题。根据最后一段“At 17, Sarah entered her first race — a local 5K. She didn’t win, but she crossed the finish line with a smile on her face.
