You think that everybody focuses on you completely, and that you are the center of their world. You think that if you make one little mistake, everyone will think you’re just another loser. Permit me to tell you an amazing truth. Your classmates, your audience, whoever ... they don’t care about you. Not the you that’s inside, but only the physical you. Do you catch that? They don’t care about how you understand yourself at all. All they can see is in front of them. They don’t know the real you. It’s like we’re all still stuck in high school. Too busy worrying about our self-images and the masks (面具) that we show to other people instead of focusing on what really matters ourselves. This is self-love at the highest level. Truly, once you come into someone’s sight, they will judge you. Everyone is judgmental in a way, no matter how much they’ll refuse to accept it. But people can only judge you at first sight. The struggles you’ve gone through and the pain you’ve dealt with are those that they can’t see. When people judge you, they form opinions without your story in mind. To attract your audience, you need a story (one in which you grow is better). You need to have something more to offer than what people can already see. Physical appearance also matters. Looks get you the attention, but in the end, it’s the stories that make a difference. It’s the tales of hardship and struggles that resonate (产生共鸣). 1．What is the function of paragraph 1? A．To raise a question B．To introduce a topic. C．To prove an opinion. D．To tell readers a story. 2．What do your classmates really care about in paragraph 2? A．The real you. B．The inside you. C．The physical you. D．The amazing you. 3．What does the author suggest readers do in high school? A．Focus on yourself. B．Love others. C．Wear different masks. D．Worry about self-images. 4．What does the underlined word “judgmental” mean in paragraph 4? A．Happy to praise others B．Quick to judge and criticize others C．Ready to help others. D．Difficult to get on with others. 5．What would be the best title for the text? A．The Story inside You Matters. B．Judgment From Others Counts. C．The First Impression Really Works. D．Your Appearance Makes a Difference. 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．A 4．B 5．A 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要论述了内在故事比外在更能吸引他人的观点。 【解析】1．推理判断题。根据第一段描述“Right before you first step into a classroom or onto a stage, you think that all eyes are on you. You think that everybody focuses on you completely, and that you are the center of their world. You think that if you make one little mistake, everyone will think you’re just another loser. (在你第一次走进教室或登上舞台之前，你认为所有的眼睛都在盯着你。你认为每个人都完全关注你，你是他们世界的中心。你以为你犯了一个小错误，每个人都会认为你只是一个失败者。)”可知，这是为了引出后文要讨论的话题，即人们其实并不像自己想象的那样被他人过度关注。因此，第一段的功能是引入话题。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据第二段中“Your classmates, your audience, whoever ... they don’t care about you. Not the you that’s inside, but only the physical you. (你的同学，你的观众，不管是谁……他们不关心你。不是内在的你，而是外在的你。)”可知，你的同学真正关心的是你的外在形象，即“the physical you”。故选C。 3．细节理解题。根据第三段“It’s like we’re all still stuck in high school. Too busy worrying about our self-images and the masks (面具) that we show to other people instead of focusing on what really matters ourselves. This is self-love at the highest level. (就好像我们还困在高中一样。太忙于担心我们的自我形象和我们展示给别人的面具，而不是关注真正重要的自己。这是最高层次的自爱。)”可知，作者建议读者在高中时应该关注自己。故选A。 4．词句猜测题。根据第四段中“Everyone is judgmental in a way, no matter how much they’ll refuse to accept it. But people can only judge you at first sight. (每个人在某种程度上都是评判的，不管他们多么拒绝接受。但是人们只能第一眼判断你。)”可知，“judgmental”指的是人们倾向于快速地对他人做出判断和批评。故选B。 5．主旨大意题。文章主要讲述了人们往往过于关注他人对自己的外在看法，而忽视了真正重要的是自己内心的故事和经历。因此，最好的标题应该是强调内心故事的重要性，即“The Story inside You Matters (你内心的故事很重要)”。故选A。 Passage 2 What is the most popular body building these years? Plogging, which is a mixture of jogging and the Swedish “plocka upp”, meaning “pick up”, has come into our eyes. Plogging, the latest Scandinavian lifestyle, trends to rock your world. It has also been a popular new eco-friendly (生态友好的) fitness across the world. The idea of plogging was created by Erik Ahlstrom, a Swedish. He was shocked by the amount of rubbish there in nature. The same rubbish could remain in the road for several weeks without anyone picking it up. So he made up his mind to do something to change it. He started picking it up. He felt good in his heart to clean up a small place. To his surprise, stopping to clean up rubbish became a habit, then a part of his regular exercise as he put the activity into his runs. Later, other people were joining in, and plogging runs, with groups of couple coming together to run and pick up rubbish, became official events in Sweden. They run with bags and gloves. After running, they will have a competition to see who picks up the most rubbish. Nowadays, plogging has attracted more people to take part in. According to fitness app Lifesum, which allows users to input and track calories (卡路里) burned while plogging, the eco-friendly work-out is quite more effective than just jogging. As plogging requires some bending and some strength to catch all the rubbish, a half hour of plogging will burn about 288 calories, compared to just 235 calories from regular jogging 6．Which of the following best describes plogging? A．It’s a new trend in fashion. B．It’s a travel style in Sweden. C．It’s a new environment-friendly fitness. D．It’s an out-of-date word to rock your world. 7．Why did Erik Ahlstrom create the idea of plogging? A．Because he was good at changing things. B．Because he formed the habit of exercising C．Because lots of rubbish in nature surprised him. D．Because picking up rubbish attracted most people 8．What effect did plogging have on people in Sweden? A．People had a competition to clean the park B．Plogging was officially organized in Sweden. C．Picking up rubbish became everyone’s habit. D．People carried bags and gloves everywhere 9．What can we learn from the last paragraph? A．Jogging is a better way for people’s health. B．People should spend more time working out. C．People burn less calories while picking up rubbish. D．Plogging has better exercise effects than jogging. 10．What is the main idea of the text? A．It tells a new way of selecting things. B．It shows how jogging becomes famous. C．It explains how people create a new word. D．It introduces a popular type of body building. 【答案】6．C 7．C 8．B 9．D 10．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了当下流行的健身方式 ——plogging，包括其起源、发展、影响以及与其他健身方式的比较。 【解析】6．细节理解题。根据第一段中“Plogging, the latest Scandinavian lifestyle, trends to rock your world. It has also been a popular new eco-friendly (生态友好的) fitness across the world. (跑步捡垃圾，最新的斯堪的纳维亚生活方式，摇滚你的世界的趋势。它也是一种风靡全球的新型环保健身方式。)”可知，Plogging是一种新的环保健身方式，因此选项C“它是一种新的环保健身方式”正确描述了Plogging。故选C。 7．细节理解题。根据第二段中“He was shocked by the amount of rubbish there in nature. The same rubbish could remain in the road for several weeks without anyone picking it up. So he made up his mind to do something to change it. (他对自然界垃圾的数量感到震惊。同样的垃圾可以在路上堆放几个星期而没有人去捡。所以他下定决心要做点什么来改变它。)”可知，Erik Ahlstrom因为大自然中大量的垃圾而感到震惊，所以他决定做点什么来改变它，因此他创造了Plogging这个想法。故选C。 8．细节理解题。根据第二段中“Later, other people were joining in, and plogging runs, with groups of couple coming together to run and pick up rubbish, became official events in Sweden. (后来，其他人也加入了进来，成群结队的情侣一起跑步和捡垃圾成为了瑞典的官方活动。)”可知，Plogging在瑞典被正式组织起来，成为了一项官方活动。故选B。 9．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“According to fitness app Lifesum, which allows users to input and track calories (卡路里) burned while plogging, the eco-friendly work-out is quite more effective than just jogging. (健身应用Lifesum允许用户输入并记录跑步时消耗的卡路里，该应用表示，这种环保的锻炼方式比慢跑更有效。)”可推知，Plogging比单纯的慢跑有更好的锻炼效果。故选D。 10．主旨大意题。全文围绕plogging的起源、形式及健身优势展开，核心是介绍这一流行的健身方式。故选D。 Passage 3 Riding a Mobike on the street, you might hear some people speaking Chinese aloud. Turning to the right, you see a Sichuan-style restaurant. After walking into a store, you see that Huawei smartphones are on sale. But you’re not in China — you’re in Manchester in Britain. In fact, you might see similar things in many other cities. Chinese products have been going all over the world. Chinese food has been enjoyed in Western countries for a long time. To meet local people’s tastes, Chinese restaurants have made some changes to the dishes. “One example is the meat,” said Yin Hang, a Chinese student who is studying in Australia. “We like to eat meat with the bone in, but people here don’t. So the local Chinese restaurants provide big pieces of meat without bones, even for fish.” Some Chinese brands (品牌) are also becoming more popular. It is reported that in many cities in Europe, many stores sell TCL televisions, Haier fridges and Lenovo computers. More than half of US-owned drones are Chinese models, according to China Daily. They’re not only made in China, but also designed and developed in the country. In the past, most Western people thought Chinese products were cheap and unreliable. But now, things have changed greatly. More people trust Chinese brands. “Made in China” becomes cool. “They are beautiful and offer something special that American phones don’t have,” an article on CNN once said about Chinese smartphones. It is said that Chinese government has been trying its best to improve its national brands of all kinds to meet the needs of modern life. 11．According to the passage, ________. A．People in Western countries don’t like Chinese food B．Chinese products are very popular around the world C．All of  US-owned drones are made in America D．Chinese people like foreign products 12．Chinese restaurants ________ to suit the taste of people in western countries. A．cut the prices of the dishes B．provide big pieces of meat with bones C．have made some changes to the dishes D．try to make the food more delicious 13．“Made in China” is becoming more popular abroad, because ________. A．Chinese products are mostly designed and developed in the country B．Western people didn’t use Chinese products in the past C．Chinese products were  cheap and unreliable D．Chinese products have changed and improved a lot 14．The underlined word “unreliable” probably means “________” in Chinese. A．不可抗拒的 B．不可回收的 C．不可思议的 D．不可信赖的 15．The passage is probably from ________. A．a story book B．a school notice C．a newspaper D．a post 【答案】11．B 12．C 13．D 14．D 15．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了中国产品在世界各地越来越受欢迎，以及中国品牌如何改进和提升以适应现代生活的需求。 【解析】11．细节理解题。根据第一段中“Chinese products have been going all over the world. (中国产品已经走向世界各地。)”可知，中国产品在全世界很受欢迎。故选B。 12．细节理解题。根据第二段中“To meet local people’s tastes, Chinese restaurants have made some changes to the dishes. (为了迎合当地人的口味，中国餐馆对菜肴做了一些改动。)”可知，中餐馆对菜肴做了一些改变。故选C。 13．细节理解题。根据第四段中“In the past, most Western people thought Chinese products were cheap and unreliable. But now, things have changed greatly. More people trust Chinese brands. ‘Made in China’ becomes cool. (过去，大多数西方人认为中国产品便宜、不可靠。但是现在，情况发生了很大的变化。越来越多的人信任中国品牌。“中国制造”变得很酷。)”可知，中国产品已经发生了很大的变化和改进。故选D。 14．词句猜测题。根据第四段中“In the past, most Western people thought Chinese products were cheap and unreliable. But now, things have changed greatly. More people trust Chinese brands. (过去，大多数西方人认为中国产品便宜、不可靠。但是现在，情况发生了很大的变化。越来越多的人信任中国品牌。)”可知，过去，大多数西方人认为中国产品便宜且不可信赖，由此可推知，unreliable意为“不可信赖的”。故选D。 15．推理判断题。文中引用“China Daily”“CNN”等媒体报道，且内容涉及中国产品的全球市场情况，具有新闻报道的特征。由此可推知，文章可能来自一份报纸。故选C。 Passage 4 This was the first real task I received in my new school. It seemed simple: go on the Internet and find information about a man named George Washington. As I searched the name, I found that there were two famous people having the same name who looked completely different! One invented hundreds of uses for peanuts (花生), while the other led some sort of army across America. I stared at the screen, wondering which one my teacher meant. I called my grandfather for a golden piece of advice: let the coin decide. I flipped (掷) a coin and Ah! Tails (背面)! My report would be about the great man who invented peanut butter, George Washington Carver. Weeks later, I stood in front of the classroom and proudly read my homework. But things started to get strange. I looked around the room, only to find my classmates with big smiles on their faces and tears in their eyes and my stone-faced teacher. I was completely lost. “What could be causing everyone to act this way?” Oh well, I dropped the paper and sat down at my desk, burning to find out what I had done wrong. As a classmate began his report, it all became clear, “My report is on George Washington, the man who started the American War of Independence.” The whole world became quiet! How could I know that my teacher meant that George Washington? Of course, my subject result was awful. Sad but fearless, I decided to turn this around. I talked to the headmaster Miss Lancelot, but she said firmly: No re-dos; no new score. I felt that it was not fair, and I believed I deserved a second chance. So I threw myself heartily into my work for the rest of the school year. Ten months later, I sat in the headmaster’s office again, but this time a completely different conversation. I smiled and flashed back to the terrible moment at the beginning of the year as the headmaster told me I was good enough to skip (跳过) the 6th grade and started the 7th grade next term. 16．The task I received was to find information about _________. A．uses for peanuts B．American War of Independence C．George Washington D．my headmaster Miss Lancelot 17．_________ helped me decide what my report would be about. A．Coin B．The internet C．My grandpa D．My classmates 18．People in the class acted strangely because ________. A．I was too proud of my homework B．I mistook what the homework was about C．the whole world suddenly became quiet D．the teacher’s face turned to a stone 19．We can infer(推断) from the passage that ________. A．the headmaster didn’t like the writer at all B．the writer’s classmates felt sad at his mistake C．the writer knew little about American history D．the writer’s grandpa was a very wise man 20．Which of the following proverbs can best describe the main idea of this story? A．Seeing is believing. B．Where there is a will, there is a way. C．One is never too old to learn. D．A friend in need is a friend indeed. 【答案】16．C 17．A 18．B 19．C 20．B 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要介绍了作者在新学校接受的第一个真正的任务，但却因为误解主题而闹出笑话。之后作者加倍努力，最终实现跳级。 【解析】16．细节理解题。根据第一段“This was the first real task I received in my new school. It seemed simple: go on the Internet and find information about a man named George Washington. (这是我在新学校接受的第一个真正的任务。这似乎很简单：上网查找一个名叫乔治·华盛顿的人的信息)”可知，作者的任务是找一个关于“乔治·华盛顿”的信息。故选C。 17．细节理解题。根据第一段“I flipped (掷) a coin and Ah! Tails (背面)! My report would be about the great man who invented peanut butter, George Washington Carver. (我抛了一枚硬币，啊！背面！我的报告将是关于发明花生酱的伟人乔治·华盛顿·卡佛的。)”可知，作者是抛硬币来界定我报告的内容。故选A。 18．细节理解题。根据第二段“I looked around the room, only to find my classmates with big smiles on their faces and tears in their eyes and my stone-faced teacher. (我环顾房间，却发现我的同学们脸上带着灿烂的笑容，眼里含着泪水，还有我那面石头般的老师。)”，尤其第三段“As a classmate began his report, it all became clear, “My report is on George Washington, the man who started the American War of Independence.” The whole world became quiet! How could I know that my teacher meant that George Washington? (当一位同学开始他的报告时，一切都变得清晰起来，“我的报告是关于发动美国独立战争的乔治·华盛顿的。”整个世界都变得安静了！我怎么知道我的老师是指那个乔治·华盛顿？)”可知，作者误解作业主题导致同学表现得很奇怪。故选B。 19．推理判断题。根据第一段“My report would be about the great man who invented peanut butter, George Washington Carver. (我的报告将是关于发明花生酱的伟人乔治·华盛顿·卡佛的。)”以及第三段“As a classmate began his report, it all became clear, “My report is on George Washington, the man who started the American War of Independence.”  (当一位同学开始他的报告时，一切都变得清晰起来，“我的报告是关于发动美国独立战争的乔治·华盛顿的。”)”可推断，作者因为不了解美国历史而误解了报告主题。故选C。 20．主旨大意题。根据最后一段“So I threw myself heartily into my work for the rest of the school year. Ten months later, I sat in the headmaster’s office again, but this time a completely different conversation. I smiled and flashed back to the terrible moment at the beginning of the year as the headmaster told me I was good enough to skip (跳过) the 6th grade and started the 7th grade next term. (因此，在学年剩下的时间里，我全心全意地投入到工作中。十个月后，我再次坐在校长办公室，但这次的谈话完全不同。我微笑着回忆起年初的那个可怕时刻，校长告诉我，我已经足够好了，可以跳过六年级，下学期开始上七年级。)”以及通读全文可知，作者因报告失误成绩差，但未放弃，通过努力最终跳级，体现“有志者事竟成”。故选B。 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 编写说明：湖北省技能高考《英语考纲百套卷》，依据《2026年湖北省普通高等学校招收中等职业学校毕业生技能高考文化综合考试大纲》编写。本套试卷共100份：第一部分是按照考试大纲编写的35份知识点训练卷。第二部分是词汇、语法、情景交际、阅读等50份专项训练卷。第三部分是按照考试大纲编写的15份综合模拟卷。 本试卷是湖北省技能高考《英语考纲百套卷》的第84卷，是知识点训练卷。 湖北省技能高考《英语考纲百套卷》 第84卷 专项训练卷·多体裁阅读（4） 考试时间：40分钟 满分：40分 班级 姓名 学号 成绩 1、 阅读题（阅读下面的短文，短文后面有五个小题，从每小题所给的四个选项中，选出一个最佳选项。未选、错选或多选均不得分。共20小题，每小题2分，满分40分。） Passage 1 Right before you first step into a classroom or onto a stage, you think that all eyes are on you.
