专题03 阅读理解 记叙文 主题01 人与社会——旅游 Passage 1 （24-25高一上·合肥一中·期中） 23-year-old Rachna Kumari is a soft-spoken young woman selling unique wheat stalk paintings (麦秆画) handmade by herself. Every morning, even before her mother awakens, she finishes cooking and cleaning before cycling 5km to run her shop alone. Over the past year, she has sold about 200 of her paintings, 50 of which were bought since she opened her shop in April this year. However, back in 2019, Rachna had almost given up on life after having to leave school due to family’s financial problems. She became depressed, thinking she would have to spend the rest of her days doing household chores. Around this time, the Aga Khan Foundation (AKF) came into the picture with Project Lehar, started to provide vocational training, entrepreneurship (创业), and life skills courses to young women. Project Lehar, run by AKF in partnership with The King’s Trust International, enables girls and young women from disadvantaged backgrounds to rediscover and realise their potential. This was a good opportunity for Rachna to not just continue her studies but also to convince her parents to drop her marriage plans. After she was admitted into college through Project Lehar, she was also given some suggestions on entrepreneurial and career prospects. One such session on wheat stalk painting made her fall in love with this traditional art form of Bahraich and her creativity was brought out. Now she is economically independent by selling wheat stalk paintings. However, Rachna is not resting on her achievements. Her shop also doubles up as a training centre where other girls from disadvantaged backgrounds like her who want to stand on their feet get a second chance to change their lives like she did. While teaching these enthusiastic young girls is a joyful experience, what gives Rachna more pride is being chosen as a wheat stalk painting trainer by the foundation. From being a trainee under this project to now becoming its paid trainer, Rachna’s life has come full circle. 1．What once left Rachna in low spirits? A．Losing her favorite job. B．Dropping out of school. C．Riding to her shop alone. D．Doing household chores. 2．How did Rachna benefit from Project Lehar? A．She received some donations from it. B．She had a new attitude toward marriage. C．She was sponsored to open her own shop. D．She got the chance to continue her studies. 3．Which words can be used to describe Rachna? A．Talented and modest. B．Outgoing and successful. C．Wealthy and independent. D．Hard-working and creative. 4．What brings Rachna more sense of achievement? A．Becoming a first-rate woman artist. B．Giving financial help to disadvantaged girls. C．Being selected as a wheat stalk painting trainer. D．Setting up the famous Project Lehar independently. Passage 2 （24-25高一上·临泉一中·期中） Jack is a twenty-year-old young man. Two years ago, when he finished middle school, he found a job in a shop. Usually he works until ten o’ clock in the evening. He is very tired when he gets home. After a quick supper he goes to bed and soon falls asleep. His grandma who lives downstairs is satisfied (满意的) with him. One day, on his way home, he met Mary. They were both happy. He asked the girl to his house, and she agreed happily. He bought some fruit and drinks for her. And they talked about their school, teachers, classmates and their future. They talked for a long time. “Have a look at your watch, please,” said the girl. “What time is it now?” “Sorry, something is wrong with my watch,” said Jack. “Where’s yours?” “I left it at home.” Jack thought for a moment and found a way. He began to stamp (跺) his foot on the floor, “Bang! Bang! Bang!” The sound woke his grandma up. The old woman shouted downstairs, “It’s twelve o’ clock in the night, Jack. Why are you still jumping upstairs?” 5．Jack was _______ when he finished middle school. A．sixteen B．eighteen C．twenty D．fifteen 6．The old woman is satisfied with Jack because _______.

At first, the small shop struggled as there were many similar products on the market. Yang realized the need for a unique brand to stand out from the competition. During a hike in Fanjing Mountain in July 2011, Yang accidentally cut her hand on a thorny leaf. This gave her an idea; “There are leaf-vein bookmarks and leaf-vein paintings. Why has nobody created leaf-vein embroidery yet?” Obviously, the reason behind this is that embroidering on leaves requires delicate skills that few possess. Yang Li collected thousands of leaves from Fanjing Mountain and processed them by steaming, boiling, and tanning them to expose their veins. While the leaves become soft, they are also extremely fragile. The biggest challenge was improving the flexibility of the leaves. After consulting local expert Shen Min, she learned that soaking them in acidic water could make them tough enough for embroidery. Through continuous learning and practice, she succeeded in creating her first piece of leaf-vein embroidery, which perfectly combines traditional embroidery patterns with the natural textures of the leaves. By adding traditional designs from the Miao, Tujia, and Dong ethnic groups, she produced art that exhibits a unique aesthetic appeal of traditional embroidery with contemporary craftsmanship. Yang notes that typically, only those with decades of embroidery experience can independently complete the entire leaf-embroidery process, which is fewer than 20 people in Tongren from 2011 to now. Two years later, Yang opened an embroidery processing factory and offered jobs to more than 500 laid-off female workers, rural women, and people with disabilities. “Guizhou is a province with a large number of ethnic groups and has a long history of ethnic embroidery skills,” she says. “I will keep doing the leaf-vein embroidery for the rest of my life because it is meaningful.” 9．What inspired Yang Li to create leaf-vein embroidery? A．Her love for Miao embroidery. B．The discovery of a special leaf. C．An accidental injury to her hand. D．A decrease in her shop’s earnings. 10．What is the biggest challenge for Yang Li? A．Softening the leaves. B．Exposing veins of leaves. C．Collecting suitable leaves. D．Making leaves more flexible. 11．What do we know about Yang Li’s leaf-vein embroidery? A．It is costly to complete a single piece. B．It is well-received by international consumers. C．It is demanding for cooperation between craftsmen. D．It is a unique combination of artistic elements. 12．Which of the following words can best describe Yang Li? A．Creative and dedicated. B．Ambitious and cautious. C．Passionate and humorous. D．Optimistic and considerate. Passage 4 （24-25高一上·宿州七校联考·期中） Sam and Tom were twins. They were so alike that even their mother found it difficult to tell one from the other. However, they were very different from each other when it came to everything other than their appearance. Sam had no friends, while Tom was a great friendship maker. Sam loved sweets, but Tom loved spicy food and detested sweets. Sam was Mommy’s pet and Tom was Daddy’s pet. While Sam was generous and selfless, Tom was greedy (贪婪的) and selfish! As Sam and Tom grew up, their father wanted to share his fortune equally between them. However, Tom did not agree and he argued that whoever, proved to be stronger and cleverer would have to get a bigger share of the wealth. Sam agreed. Their father decided to organize a competition. He asked them to walk as long as they could, and return home before sunset. The wealth would be divided according to the distance covered. But they were not allowed to carry a watch to keep track of the time. The following day, Sam and Tom set out to walk. It was a rather sunny day. Sam walked slowly and steadily, while Tom broke into a sprint (全速奔跑) as he wanted to win so much. Sam knew that it would be ideal to walk as far as possible till noon and start for home at noon as it would take the same amount of time to walk back home. Knowing this, Sam decided to turn back for home at noon so as to reach home on time. However, Tom, with his greed to earn more wealth, did not try to return home even after mid-noon. He walked twice as long as Sam, and thought he would still be able to return home before sunset. He hurried back when he saw the sun turn orange. Unfortunately, he could not even make it half way home as the sun started to set. Slowly, it got very dark on his way and he had to drag his tired feet back home. He lost the race, only because of his greed. 13．What does the underlined word ”detested" in paragraph 1 mean? A．Attracted. B．Disliked. C．Hid. D．Wasted. 14．Why did Sam and Tom’s father organize the competition? A．To teach Sam a lesson. B．To see who is more patient. C．To improve their physical strength.

D．Sam didn’t turn back for home after mid-noon. 16．Which of the following can sum up the story? A．Greed is the root of failure. B．All that glitters is not gold. C．Money can’t buy happiness. D．Actions speak louder than words. Passage 5 （24-25高一上·阜阳一中·期中） The Arctic trip with Quark Expeditions is an amazing experience, and I am thankful for it. However, it also makes me realize our presence here sounds pointless in this great setting, like we are visitors from another world. Our 10-day journey explored the Svalbard islands in northern Norway. At our farthest point, the North Pole was still 600 miles away, but I had never been so far north. It felt like we were at the top of the world. The story of humans in the Norwegian Arctic is all about looting (掠夺) the natural world for fur, coal and other resources (资源). The first recorded visit was by Dutch sailor Willem Barentsz in June 1596, searching for a northeast passage to China. History presenter Federico Gargiulo explained that this discovery put the Arctic on the map. That attracted people to come and try to take those resources. Today, there are environmental controls on visiting this area. On our first day, we watched videos that laid down the law: Do not touch or take anything, and stay with your armed guide for protection from polar bears. We also washed our shoes and feet before boarding or leaving the ship to make the land free of pollution. Tourists pay a lot and travel far to see Arctic wildlife. On our last night, we finally got a close-up of a polar bear. Everyone rushed to the decks (甲板) with cameras. We saw the bear swimming towards us, and as it got closer, we could make out its black eyes and rounded ears. Quark Expeditions’ guides are experienced in different fields. I learned a lot from them. The guide Austin Hart’s words impressed me: “It’s not much of a human planet. Dinosaurs were around for 180 million years. I don’t know if humans have that long.” As I stood among ice and snowy mountains, this made me feel unbelievably small. 17．How does the author feel after the journey? A．Our presence fits in with the planet. B．It’s too cold on the Svalbard islands, C．Human beings are tiny in this world. D．We must stop using natural resources. 18．Why did Willem Barentsz come to the Norwegian Arctic? A．To draw a map of Norway. B．To find a northeast path to China. C．To explore the local history. D．To search for a passage to Holland. 19．What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A．Strict rules on visiting the Arctic. B．The rising number of tourists. C．The measures to protect wildlife. D．Useful tips on watching birds. 20．Where is this text probably taken from? A．A history book. B．A news report. C．A research paper. D．A travel magazine. Passage 6 （24-25高一上·马鞍山二中·期中） Ten years ago, Price Hill resident Patti Hogan noticed a problem in her neighborhood. Instead of letting the problem go on, she took action. Hogan is now a board member for the program she launched a decade ago, the Price Hill Safety Community Action Team (CAT). The community program works to beautify Price Hill while also keeping kids out of trouble. Hogan has lived in Price Hill all her life and started the Safety CAT to address a significant problem she was seeing in the community. “We had a terrible problem with young kids just standing around on the street and wrestling with each other,” Hogan said. Along with fights, Hogan says streets were filled with abandoned homes and overgrown grass. Not wanting to move away, she thought about what she could do — attack the problem head-on. Each Saturday during the summer, the sounds of lawnmowers (割草机) fill the neighborhood. Those who are making this “music” are the neighborhood kids who are part of the Safety CAT. They come together to cut and clean up the lawns of abandoned homes. Hogan helps teach the kids how to work a landscape, and how to earn a dollar — they bring home around $45 each week. As Hogan explains, the lesson is more than about money. “We’re keeping them busy and then they’re giving back to the neighborhood by changing some of the blight (破败之处) and in the process, we’re teaching them values and character lessons as we go,” Hogan explains. She also hopes she is teaching them to treasure their neighborhood as much as she does. That love has spread to the children on the program. Philip Miller, who graduated from the 10-week summer program two years ago, now comes back to help guide the other kids. “This program helps you look at work as a team and also work on your individual personal growth,” explains Miller. Hogan says they still have spaces open for anyone interested in getting their child involved, and they are always looking for volunteers. 21．Why did Patti Hogan start the program? A．To offer old people free services. B．To make her neighborhood a better place. C．To raise public awareness about environmental issues. D．To make officials aware of the problems facing Price Hill. 22．How does the program benefit the kids according to Patti Hogan? A．It allows them to make money each day. B．It teaches them practical skills for their future. C．It helps them know about their neighborhood. D．It assists them in shaping good personal qualities. 23．What does Philip Miller’s story show? A．The program really works well. B．Children need space to volunteer more. C．The program changed the kids’ career path. D．Children need a role model in their personal growth. 24．What can we say about Patti Hogan after reading the text? A．She has a tough but gentle nature. B．She is narrow-minded but generous. C．She has a strong sense of social responsibility. D．She is eagerly seeking support for her program. 主题02 人与自我——生活与学习 Passage 1 （24-25高一上·马鞍山二中·期中） I’m a single dad raising a son, so I usually helped my child select my Father’s day gifts, and then paid for them. When my son was a high school senior, he took control of the gifting by offering to drive us to Denny’s for breakfast. But the evening before the holiday, I couldn’t sleep. What kept me awake was the realization that this would be the last Father’s day before my kid left for college. It truly felt like I had just taken the training wheels off my son’s bike. In my household, the fridge door is the all-knowing parental focus holding the academic and sports schedules, the school lunch menu, and the family calendar. Also attached to it are photos, awards, artwork, and the “good” report cards. The refrigerator is a super-sized memory book of my son’s life. I began to go through the objects of significant emotional value, which required me to pull the fridge out because all the baby items were pushed to the sides. As I checked the golden oldies, I quickly realized three things. First, I had too many photos. Second, I needed to clear up the sides of the refrigerator. Third, soccer was a big part of our lives. I never played or watched soccer before parenthood. Yet, I became the coach for all his teams until he reached middle school. Back then I assumed it was my fatherly duty to support my son’s activities, but now I understood that I was wrong. After years of supporting, guiding, and loving my son, I finally recognized that taking part in my son’s life on any level was not a duty— it was an honor. I time-traveled through mementos (纪念品), and each memory helped me understand what being a dad really meant. Teenagers might not give us presents we want or need on Father’s day. But they have already given us the best possible gift — allowing us to feel what it’s like to be their dad. 25．What kept the author awake before Father’s day? A．Planning a surprise for his father. B．Reflecting on his poor father-son relationship. C．Feeling emotional about a special Father’s day. D．Getting excited about the breakfast at Denny’s. 26．Why is the fridge important to the family? A．It adds an artistic touch to the house. B．It holds memories of passing family days. C．It is a source of creativity for school lunch. D．It serves as a gathering place for family members. 27．Why did the author pull out the fridge? A．To redecorate its sides. B．To clear up the kitchen. C．To make room for a new one. D．To uncover personal mementos. 28．Why did the author claim that he was wrong in the last but one paragraph? A．He recognized he had too many photos. B．He regretted not playing soccer before parenthood. C．He realized fatherhood was about pride rather than a task. D．He felt ashamed to let his son take control of the gifting. Passage 2 （24-25高一上·皖江名校·期中） When I was a teenager, I used to be troubled by doubts and fears about my future. One summer afternoon, I drove alone for a change, but suddenly my night turned into disaster. I was rushed to hospital. I remember when I came to, I found my parents were beside me. The doctor walked in, “Due to the seriousness of your injuries,” he began. “You’ll probably have a difficult time walking, let alone be able to dance, or join in sports.” The news was horrific. Basketball was my favourite sport and being on the school team meant everything to me. I cried uncontrollably imagining the worst for my future. My parents took over. “Thank you for your advice,” they said calmly. “Our daughter will be up and walking again soon.” Then followed several months of lying in bed. With determination and the unbelievable support of my family and friends, I began the long and challenging road to healing. What began as a terrible thing gave me time and space to learn about personal development and transformation. With time, not only did I dance and play basketball again, I also transformed my entire way of life. I learned to change the way I thought. I learned to replace despair with hope, and as a result, I was free of anxiety attacks, headaches and lack of confidence. Even more amazingly, that accident created a turning pointing, helping me discover my life’s purpose. Inspired by the positive changes I made to my life; I devoted my life to helping others find the same fulfillment. And now today, as I reflect on the roads we all must travel, I realize that every trouble is an opportunity for growth. If we are open to change, our journeys, no matter how frightening, can offer paths with new horizons. 29．What troubled the author when she was young? A．Lack of friends. B．A traffic accident. C．Worries for future. D．Failure to have a car. 30．Who comforted her when the author regained senses from the accident? A．The family. B．Friends. C．The doctor. D．Teachers. 31．How did the accident benefit the author? A．It made her play basketball better than before. B．It helped her to have a positive attitude to life. C．It was a good chance to stay with her parents. D．It offered her a long time to read her favorite books. 32．What’s the author’s advice to readers in the last paragraph? A．To travel as much as possible. B．To wait for any growth opportunity. C．To look for paths to a new life. D．To accept a change when troubled. Passage 3 （24-25高一上·合肥六校联盟·期中） Growing up, my older sister always told me that going to high school allowed me to have more fun. But on the night before the first day, going to sleep was difficult. I was up all night thinking about how the day would go. What if my friends aren’t in any of my classes? What if I get made fun of? What will people think of when they first see me? The next morning, as I started walking towards the gate of the school I had butterflies in my stomach. There were a lot of students. As I looked around, I started to notice the familiar (熟悉的) faces of my friends who went to primary school with me. For some reason, I would get very nervous when someone new got close to me. The one thing I was most nervous about was walking in late to one of my classes. Guess what? That was exactly what happened. Going to the first period was simple because luckily, other students were helping us find our classes. Not to mention, I ended up having that class with a couple of friends. As I made my way down the halls to get to my second-period class, we had about five minutes to get to our classes. Finally, I ended up getting lost and coming to class ten minutes after the bell had rung, which resulted in the class looking at me when I walked in. I felt self-conscious. Everyone had already taken their seats so I rushed to sit down as well. However, I had to sit with someone new. It took me a while to begin talking to him but once I did, things became easier because I was able to ask for help when needed. In high school I was going to be meeting new people in unfamiliar places, getting used to a new environment, and receiving more responsibilities. But I’m still looking forward to it. 33．How did the author feel before his first day? A．He was too nervous to sleep. B．He missed his old friends badly. C．He felt certain about his future life. D．He was worried about meeting new teachers. 34．What did the author do at the gate of the school? A．He asked others about the campus. B．He communicated with new friends. C．He asked for leave because of his illness. D．He saw his old friends in primary school. 35．What happened when the author was on his way to his first class? A．He lost his way B．He was offered help. C．He made a new friend. D．He ran into his class teacher. 36．What does the underlined word “self-conscious” in paragraph 4 mean? A．Angry. B．Embarrassed. C．Excited. D．Comfortable. Passage 4 （24-25高一上·合肥六校联盟·期中） Walking is the best form of exercise. It is good for the upper respiratory (与呼吸有关的) system and the legs. It helps us control our weight and blood sugar. Walking is also a good way to help you make more friends, bringing chances to see new things and meet new people. Personally, I try to walk at least 5 miles daily. As well as walking, I also cycle around Xiamen. Cycling is great for weight loss and helps to build stamina (耐力). However, cycling does not allow for the same level of social contact as a walk. It is for this reason that I would strongly suggest that you try long-distance walking if you want to be physically healthy. I originally (最初) started walking around Xiamen because I didn’t have a car, but I soon started to enjoy the walking itself. I have also made many friends during my walks. It’s not uncommon for my 5-mile walk to sometimes take as long as 2 or 3 hours, because I stop to chat with different shop owners along my route. These days, if I skip my walk for even one day, the people in the shops may want to know why I didn’t come. I’ ll never forget the first time some people followed me when I was walking, and asked if it was okay for them to walk with me. I really didn’t know what to say, so I just replied that I didn’t mind. I have been invited for lunch, dinner and sometimes just to sit and drink tea with total strangers. There is nothing more pleasant than walking past a schoolyard and hearing all the kids say hello to me. 37．Why did the author have to take a walk at the very beginning? A．Because he wanted to build his body. B．Because he enjoyed walking. C．Because he had no car. D．Because he wished to make friends. 38．The underlined word “skip” in the third paragraph is closest in meaning to __________. A．annoy B．quit C．revise D．arrange 39．What can be inferred from the passage? A．Cycling allows for no social contact. B．Walking is better than cycling. C．To be healthy, it’s better to cycle. D．The author prefers walking to cycling. 40．Why did the author tell us his walking experience in the last two paragraphs? A．To share the unforgettable experience with us. B．To show us the meaning of walking in social contact. C．To tell us how to develop the habit of walking. D．To explain to us why a usual walk took him as long as 2 or 3 hours. 主题01 人与自我——生活与学习 Passage 1 （23-24高一上·安师大附中·期中） In my childhood, my parents never shared their worries in economy, instead choosing to let us have a carefree childhood. But I knew, as children often do, that there were times they went without and that they couldn't afford certain things my friends had. Back in those days, hot lunch was a luxury for the wealthier kids, and hot-lunch buyers sat separately from the students who brought cold lunch. My brothers and I brought lunch from home every day. We would look on longingly as the rich kids proudly sat down with their steaming plates of chicken or fish, cold milk, and a piece of cake. I never said anything, but my first grade teacher, Mrs. Caruso, must have seen the yearning (渴望) in my eyes. One day she quietly pressed a note into my hand and whispered, “Give this to your mother.” I skipped home and gave my mom the note. She read it and smiled. “Well, Mrs. Caruso said because of all your hard work, she wants to buy your lunch tomorrow.” The next day, I proudly carried my plate of chicken across the dining hall and took my seat at the hot-lunch table. Honestly, the food wasn't as great as l had imagined, but I was pleased to be there and felt honored to be a part of the group. I don't know why Mrs. Caruso took a shine to me. Maybe she also grew up in a family that struggled. Maybe she knew what it was like to feel just a little less than everyone else. Somehow, even with her quiet charity, she never made me feel ashamed. She just made me feel loved and important. Thanks to her, I learned that I had just as much right as anyone to sit at the hot-lunch table. I don't remember what Mrs. Caruso looked like anymore, but I sure do remember how she made me feel. I've never lost that feeling—of being important to someone and being protected by her. After all these years, I'm still grateful to that wonderful teacher. 1．What kind of life did the author have when he was a child? A．His parents couldn't afford to send him to school. B．He suffered from hunger every day. C．He could get whatever he wanted. D．His family was poor but he was well protected by his parents. 2．Why did Mrs. Caruso treat the author according to him? A．Because he worked very hard. B．Because she and his mother were close friends. C．Because he didn't like the home-prepared cold food. D．Because she noticed he longed to have a taste of it. 3．What did the author think of the lunch? A．It was the most delicious food that he had ever had. B．It tasted worse than his cold food. C．He was greatly encouraged by it. D．He knew how the rich lived from it. 4．Which of the following can best describe Mrs. Caruso? A．Kind. B．Hard-working. C．Humorous. D．Patient. Passage 2 （24-25高一上·江淮名校·期中） The first week of September was a week that I had been expecting all summer. I didn’t want summer to end, but I was excited about going to high school for my first week. When I got to school in the morning on the first day I realized how large the school was, and how many students went there. I ended up in the wrong classroom because of the size of the school. Luckily, a kind senior showed up and guided me to my homeroom before I was late. I was happy to see that in a class of unfamiliar (不熟悉的) faces, the only open seat was next to my good friend, Casey. My science teacher seemed like a good teacher. She was exciting and fun. After finishing four periods without too much of a challenge, I didn’t feel too bad about ninth grade. However, the fifth period changed everything. I didn’t feel ready after all. My teacher’s name is Mr. Valassidis but he told us to call him Mr. V. Mr. V. told us that we would have to write 40 essays (文章) and read AP-level books such as The Odyssey this year. I love reading and writing, but come on, 40 ESSAYS? AP-level books? Now I was afraid. The courses in high school seem like they’re going to get much harder, but they haven’t yet. Even though my classes look hard, they look really exciting too. The first week passed quickly. Although a lot of things were overwhelming (令人不知所措的): the size of the campus, the crowds and the seniors, having a totally different experience than I had ever had before was really exciting. Now, I’m really happy about high school. I have lots of friends in my classes, I really like my teachers and I’m meeting new people. 5．How did the author feel when his high school life was about to start? A．Relaxed. B．Nervous. C．Frightened.

Suddenly, the stylist started moving her hands around in the mirror. “Beth. Beth. Beth. Can you hear me? ” she said. Bonness asked her what was wrong. In her mind, the words were coming out of her mouth. But she could see in the mirror that her lips weren’t moving. She started seeing bursts of light in the sides of her vision (视野). Then suddenly, the sensations disappeared. Tests indicated Bonness had a transient ischemic attack (短暂性脑缺血发作) (TlA). About a third of people who have a TIA go on to have a more serious stroke (中风) within a year. Bonness said she was told it was a one-off incident, so she didn’t worry about future problems. Plus, only old people have strokes, she told herself. She was 49, healthy and fit. Even the doctors implied that she was too young to worry. But the same week, while having a meal with her family, she couldn’t speak clearly again. Bonness went on disability for a few weeks, and returned to work full-time half a year later. In the beginning, she felt less confident about speaking. Later she threw herself into living as healthy as possible. In 2011, her doctor said she’d fully recovered. She stopped all stroke-related medication. In 2014, Bonness retired. She ended up saving a historic craftsman-style home in her neighborhood by changing it into a small residential development. The process had so many twists and turns (意外的曲折变化) that Bonness began writing a book about her story. Last year, she started sharing her writing.

The reason why Keith Limbert learned to drive at his old age was a touching love story, as he was forced to face the lessons for driving a car for his wife. 79-year-old Keith from West Yorkshire put all his efforts into passing the driving test, so that he could take his wife for treatments every day. Even though he had attempted (尝试) driving when he was 25, he couldn’t get through the first two tests. Since then, his loving wife Anne had always driven him around. However, when 58-year-old Anne’s health took a turn for the worse, he had to go back to the driving school again. After Anne had a stroke (中风) in 2015, leaving her in a wheelchair, the couple had to rely on others for their travels. Annoyed with many difficulties, Keith realized that it was time for him to take up learning to drive again.

He loved his wife so much that he did his best to pass his driving test on the third attempt. This time, his hard work paid off. Keith passed his driving test at the age of 79, so he could take his poor wife to hospital by himself.

Passage 5 （24-25高一上·淮南四中·期中） Ritz has been teaching for nearly 10 years in a high school where the early graduation rate of the students was just 17%. He discovered a way to connect and intrigue these students, especially the ones who seemed the hardest to reach. Once, he received a package of flower bulbs (球茎) which he mistakenly thought were onions. He was afraid that they might become weapons (武器) in a classroom fight, so he hid them behind a radiator (暖气片) and forgot about them. Six weeks later, an angry girl ran after a boy who always made troubles. As usual, Ritz rushed towards them to break up what he thought was about to become a disaster. He saw the boy reach towards the radiator and thought he might have hidden a weapon there. To his surprise, the boy suddenly pulled out a bunch of yellow flowers and gave them to the girl as a peace offering. The girl decided to take the flowers home to her mother and peace came back. The forgotten bulbs were actually daffodils (黄水仙). The steam from the radiator had forced them into flowers. From such an experience, Ritz realized that if there was power in plants to stop a classroom fight, there must be power in plants to change students’ lives. He turned the moment of growing plants into a green course, a movement that would change his life and the lives of his students. He designed vegetable gardens into part of the school ground and on top of a building. Ritz’s students now have near-perfect attendance and graduation rates. His efforts have led him to be a great teacher who uses the power of a plant to give a voice to children. 17．What does the underlined word “intrigue” mean in paragraph 1? A．Interest. B．Protect. C．Punish. D．Challenge. 18．What stopped the fight between the boy and the girl? A．The radiator. B．A tasty dish. C．Some yellow flowers.

Help!” “How could that have happened?” Peter was shaking in fear. With trembling hands, Peter dialed 911 and rushed to help the children. Peter covered himself with his jacket and burst into the flaming bus. He took the children out of the burning bus one by one. Thankfully, the firefighters arrived soon and helped Peter, saving all students. The next day, Peter saw the entire school gathered in front of his home.

Every morning, even before her mother awakens, she finishes cooking and cleaning before cycling 5km to run her shop alone. Over the past year, she has sold about 200 of her paintings, 50 of which were bought since she opened her shop in April this year. However, back in 2019, Rachna had almost given up on life after having to leave school due to family’s financial problems. She became depressed, thinking she would have to spend the rest of her days doing household chores. Around this time, the Aga Khan Foundation (AKF) came into the picture with Project Lehar, started to provide vocational training, entrepreneurship (创业), and life skills courses to young women. Project Lehar, run by AKF in partnership with The King’s Trust International, enables girls and young women from disadvantaged backgrounds to rediscover and realise their potential. This was a good opportunity for Rachna to not just continue her studies but also to convince her parents to drop her marriage plans. After she was admitted into college through Project Lehar, she was also given some suggestions on entrepreneurial and career prospects. One such session on wheat stalk painting made her fall in love with this traditional art form of Bahraich and her creativity was brought out. Now she is economically independent by selling wheat stalk paintings. However, Rachna is not resting on her achievements. Her shop also doubles up as a training centre where other girls from disadvantaged backgrounds like her who want to stand on their feet get a second chance to change their lives like she did. While teaching these enthusiastic young girls is a joyful experience, what gives Rachna more pride is being chosen as a wheat stalk painting trainer by the foundation. From being a trainee under this project to now becoming its paid trainer, Rachna’s life has come full circle. 1．What once left Rachna in low spirits? A．Losing her favorite job. B．Dropping out of school. C．Riding to her shop alone. D．Doing household chores. 2．How did Rachna benefit from Project Lehar? A．She received some donations from it.

B．Outgoing and successful. C．Wealthy and independent. D．Hard-working and creative. 4．What brings Rachna more sense of achievement? A．Becoming a first-rate woman artist. B．Giving financial help to disadvantaged girls. C．Being selected as a wheat stalk painting trainer. D．Setting up the famous Project Lehar independently. 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．D 4．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Rachna在一个基金项目的帮助下重拾学业，通过出售手工制作的麦秆画而获得经济独立，并帮助其他年轻女孩改变生活的故事。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段“However, back in 2019, Rachna had almost given up on life after having to leave school due to family’s financial problems.

At first, the small shop struggled as there were many similar products on the market. Yang realized the need for a unique brand to stand out from the competition. During a hike in Fanjing Mountain in July 2011, Yang accidentally cut her hand on a thorny leaf. This gave her an idea; “There are leaf-vein bookmarks and leaf-vein paintings. Why has nobody created leaf-vein embroidery yet?” Obviously, the reason behind this is that embroidering on leaves requires delicate skills that few possess. Yang Li collected thousands of leaves from Fanjing Mountain and processed them by steaming, boiling, and tanning them to expose their veins. While the leaves become soft, they are also extremely fragile. The biggest challenge was improving the flexibility of the leaves. After consulting local expert Shen Min, she learned that soaking them in acidic water could make them tough enough for embroidery. Through continuous learning and practice, she succeeded in creating her first piece of leaf-vein embroidery, which perfectly combines traditional embroidery patterns with the natural textures of the leaves. By adding traditional designs from the Miao, Tujia, and Dong ethnic groups, she produced art that exhibits a unique aesthetic appeal of traditional embroidery with contemporary craftsmanship. Yang notes that typically, only those with decades of embroidery experience can independently complete the entire leaf-embroidery process, which is fewer than 20 people in Tongren from 2011 to now. Two years later, Yang opened an embroidery processing factory and offered jobs to more than 500 laid-off female workers, rural women, and people with disabilities. “Guizhou is a province with a large number of ethnic groups and has a long history of ethnic embroidery skills,” she says. “I will keep doing the leaf-vein embroidery for the rest of my life because it is meaningful.” 9．What inspired Yang Li to create leaf-vein embroidery? A．Her love for Miao embroidery. B．The discovery of a special leaf. C．An accidental injury to her hand. D．A decrease in her shop’s earnings. 10．What is the biggest challenge for Yang Li? A．Softening the leaves. B．Exposing veins of leaves. C．Collecting suitable leaves. D．Making leaves more flexible. 11．What do we know about Yang Li’s leaf-vein embroidery? A．It is costly to complete a single piece. B．It is well-received by international consumers. C．It is demanding for cooperation between craftsmen. D．It is a unique combination of artistic elements. 12．Which of the following words can best describe Yang Li? A．Creative and dedicated. B．Ambitious and cautious. C．Passionate and humorous. D．Optimistic and considerate. 【答案】9．C 10．D 11．D 12．A 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了杨丽如何从一次偶然的手伤中获得灵感，创造出独特的叶脉刺绣，并通过不懈努力将其发展为具有社会影响力的产业。 9．细节理解题。根据文章第一段“During a hike in Fanjing Mountain in July 2011, Yang accidentally cut her hand on a thorny leaf. This gave her an idea; “There are leaf-vein bookmarks and leaf-vein paintings. Why has nobody created leaf-vein embroidery yet?”(2011年7月，在梵净山的一次徒步旅行中，杨丽不小心被一片带刺的叶子划伤了手。这给了她一个灵感：“有叶脉书签和叶脉画，为什么没有人尝试过叶脉刺绣呢？”)”可知，是手部的意外受伤激发了她创作叶脉刺绣的想法。故选C。 10．细节理解题。根据文章第二段“The biggest challenge was improving the flexibility of the leaves.(最大的挑战在于提高叶子的柔韧性)”可知，最大的挑战是提高叶子的柔韧性，使叶子更有弹性。故选D。 11．细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Through continuous learning and practice, she succeeded in creating her first piece of leaf-vein embroidery, which perfectly combines traditional embroidery patterns with the natural textures of the leaves.(经过不断的学习和实践，她成功地创造了她的第一件叶脉刺绣作品，完美地将传统的刺绣图案与叶子的自然纹理结合在一起)”可知，她的叶脉刺绣是传统刺绣图案与自然纹理的结合，是艺术元素的独特组合。故选D。 12．推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Through continuous learning and practice, she succeeded in creating her first piece of leaf-vein embroidery, which perfectly combines traditional embroidery patterns with the natural textures of the leaves.(经过不断的学习和实践，她成功地创造了她的第一件叶脉刺绣作品，完美地将传统的刺绣图案与叶子的自然纹理结合在一起)”可知，她把传统刺绣图案与自然纹理相结合，创造了叶脉刺绣作品，她非常富有创造性，根据文章最后一段“Two years later, Yang opened an embroidery processing factory and offered jobs to more than 500 laid-off female workers, rural women, and people with disabilities. “Guizhou is a province with a large number of ethnic groups and has a long history of ethnic embroidery skills,” she says. “I will keep doing the leaf-vein embroidery for the rest of my life because it is meaningful.”(两年后，杨丽开设了一家刺绣加工厂，为超过500名下岗女工、农村妇女和残疾人提供了工作机会。“贵州是一个拥有大量少数民族的省份，有着悠久的民族刺绣技艺历史，”她说，“我将毕生致力于叶脉刺绣，因为它意义重大”)”可知，她致力于帮助当地女性就业，富有奉献精神。故选A项。 Passage 4 （24-25高一上·宿州七校联考·期中） Sam and Tom were twins. They were so alike that even their mother found it difficult to tell one from the other. However, they were very different from each other when it came to everything other than their appearance. Sam had no friends, while Tom was a great friendship maker. Sam loved sweets, but Tom loved spicy food and detested sweets. Sam was Mommy’s pet and Tom was Daddy’s pet. While Sam was generous and selfless, Tom was greedy (贪婪的) and selfish! As Sam and Tom grew up, their father wanted to share his fortune equally between them. However, Tom did not agree and he argued that whoever, proved to be stronger and cleverer would have to get a bigger share of the wealth. Sam agreed. Their father decided to organize a competition. He asked them to walk as long as they could, and return home before sunset. The wealth would be divided according to the distance covered. But they were not allowed to carry a watch to keep track of the time. The following day, Sam and Tom set out to walk. It was a rather sunny day. Sam walked slowly and steadily, while Tom broke into a sprint (全速奔跑) as he wanted to win so much. Sam knew that it would be ideal to walk as far as possible till noon and start for home at noon as it would take the same amount of time to walk back home. Knowing this, Sam decided to turn back for home at noon so as to reach home on time. However, Tom, with his greed to earn more wealth, did not try to return home even after mid-noon. He walked twice as long as Sam, and thought he would still be able to return home before sunset. He hurried back when he saw the sun turn orange. Unfortunately, he could not even make it half way home as the sun started to set. Slowly, it got very dark on his way and he had to drag his tired feet back home. He lost the race, only because of his greed. 13．What does the underlined word ”detested" in paragraph 1 mean? A．Attracted. B．Disliked. C．Hid. D．Wasted. 14．Why did Sam and Tom’s father organize the competition? A．To teach Sam a lesson. B．To see who is more patient. C．To improve their physical strength.

D．Actions speak louder than words. 【答案】13．B 14．D 15．C 16．A 【导语】本文是记叙文。讲述了完全不一样性格的一对双胞胎,为了证明谁更有能力得到更多的财产,开始一场比赛,在比赛中因为汤姆太贪婪而输给了对方。 13．词义猜测题。根据前文“However, they were very different from each other when it came to everything other than their appearance.( 然而，除了外表之外，他们在其他方面都大不相同。)”和“Sam loved sweets, but Tom loved spicy food(萨姆喜欢甜食，但汤姆喜欢辛辣的食物)”萨姆和汤姆除了外表外其他方面大不相同，萨姆喜欢甜食，汤姆喜欢辛辣的食物，不喜欢甜食，画线词与B项“不喜欢”意思相近，故选B。 14．推理判断题。根据第二段的“As Sam and Tom grew up, their father wanted to share his fortune equally between them. However, Tom did not agree and he argued that whoever, proved to be stronger and cleverer would have to get a bigger share of the wealth. Sam agreed. Their father decided to organize a competition.(萨姆和汤姆长大后，他们的父亲想把财产均分给他们。然而，汤姆不同意，他争辩说，谁被证明更强壮、更聪明，谁就必须得到更多的财富。山姆同意了。他们的父亲决定组织一场比赛。)”可知，汤姆不同意他父亲的意见，想要得到比萨姆更多的东西，因此父亲组织了比赛是为了决定如何分他的财富。故选D。 15．细节理解题。根据最后一段的“He hurried back when he saw the sun turn orange. Unfortunately, he could not even make it half way home as the sun started to set. Slowly, it got very dark on his way and he had to drag his tired feet back home.(当他看到太阳变成橙色时，他急忙赶回来。不幸的是，当太阳开始下山时，他甚至还没走到一半回家。慢慢地，天黑了，他不得不拖着疲惫的双脚回家。)”可知，汤姆在日落前没有回家，故选C。 16．推理判断题。根据第一段的“While Sam was generous and selfless, Tom was greedy(贪婪的) and selfish!"(山姆慷慨无私，而汤姆贪婪自私！”)”，第二段的“However, Tom did not agree and he argued that whoever, proved to be stronger and cleverer would have to get a bigger share of the wealth.(然而，汤姆不同意，他争辩说，谁被证明更强壮、更聪明，谁就必须得到更多的财富。)”和最后一段内容“However, Tom, with his greed to earn more wealth, did not try to return home even after mid-noon. He walked twice as long as Sam, and thought he would still be able to return home before sunset. He hurried back when he saw the sun turn orange. Unfortunately, he could not even make it half way home as the sun started to set. Slowly, it got very dark on his way and he had to drag his tired feet back home. He lost the race, only because of his greed.( 然而，汤姆贪婪地想赚更多的钱，即使过了中午也不打算回家。他走的路程是山姆的两倍，他认为他仍然可以在日落之前回家。当他看到太阳变成橙色时，他急忙赶回来。不幸的是，当太阳开始下山时，他甚至还没走到一半回家。慢慢地，天黑了，他不得不拖着疲惫的双脚回家。他输掉了比赛，完全是因为他的贪婪。)”可知。文章讲的是Tom很贪婪，最后因为贪婪反而失去了更多。因此推断A项“贪婪是失败的根源”可以总结这个故事。故选A。 Passage 5 （24-25高一上·阜阳一中·期中） The Arctic trip with Quark Expeditions is an amazing experience, and I am thankful for it. However, it also makes me realize our presence here sounds pointless in this great setting, like we are visitors from another world. Our 10-day journey explored the Svalbard islands in northern Norway. At our farthest point, the North Pole was still 600 miles away, but I had never been so far north. It felt like we were at the top of the world. The story of humans in the Norwegian Arctic is all about looting (掠夺) the natural world for fur, coal and other resources (资源). The first recorded visit was by Dutch sailor Willem Barentsz in June 1596, searching for a northeast passage to China. History presenter Federico Gargiulo explained that this discovery put the Arctic on the map. That attracted people to come and try to take those resources. Today, there are environmental controls on visiting this area. On our first day, we watched videos that laid down the law: Do not touch or take anything, and stay with your armed guide for protection from polar bears. We also washed our shoes and feet before boarding or leaving the ship to make the land free of pollution. Tourists pay a lot and travel far to see Arctic wildlife. On our last night, we finally got a close-up of a polar bear. Everyone rushed to the decks (甲板) with cameras. We saw the bear swimming towards us, and as it got closer, we could make out its black eyes and rounded ears. Quark Expeditions’ guides are experienced in different fields. I learned a lot from them. The guide Austin Hart’s words impressed me: “It’s not much of a human planet. Dinosaurs were around for 180 million years. I don’t know if humans have that long.” As I stood among ice and snowy mountains, this made me feel unbelievably small. 17．How does the author feel after the journey? A．Our presence fits in with the planet. B．It’s too cold on the Svalbard islands, C．Human beings are tiny in this world. D．We must stop using natural resources. 18．Why did Willem Barentsz come to the Norwegian Arctic? A．To draw a map of Norway. B．To find a northeast path to China. C．To explore the local history. D．To search for a passage to Holland. 19．What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A．Strict rules on visiting the Arctic. B．The rising number of tourists. C．The measures to protect wildlife. D．Useful tips on watching birds. 20．Where is this text probably taken from? A．A history book. B．A news report. C．A research paper. D．A travel magazine. 【答案】17．C 18．B 19．A 20．D 【导语】这是一篇记叙文，主要描述了作者随Quark Expeditions旅行社前往北极旅行的经历。 17．细节理解题。根据最后一段“As I stood among ice and snowy mountains, this made me feel unbelievably small. (当我站在冰雪的群山中，这让我觉得自己渺小得难以置信。)”可知，作者在这次旅行后感觉人类在这个世界上很渺小，故选C。 18．细节理解题。根据第三段“The first recorded visit was by Dutch sailor Willem Barentsz in June 1596, searching for a northeast passage to China. (荷兰水手Willem Barentsz于1596年6月首次造访中国，寻找通往中国的东北通道。)”可知，Willem Barentsz来挪威北极是为了找到一条通往中国的东北通道，故选B。 19．主旨大意题。根据第四段“Today, there are environmental controls on visiting this area. On our first day, we watched videos that laid down the law: Do not touch or take anything, and stay with your armed guide for protection from polar bears. We also washed our shoes and feet before boarding or leaving the ship to make the land free of pollution. (今天，对参观这个地区有环境控制。第一天，我们看了一些视频，上面规定了法律：不要碰或拿任何东西，为了保护自己免受北极熊的伤害，要和你的武装向导呆在一起。我们在登船或下船前也洗了鞋子和脚，使陆地没有污染。)”可知，第4段主要讲的是参观北极的严格规定，故选A。 20．推理判断题。根据第一段“The Arctic trip with Quark Expeditions is an amazing experience, and I am thankful for it. However, it also makes me realize our presence here sounds pointless in this great setting, like we are visitors from another world. (与夸克探险队一起的北极之旅是一次了不起的经历，我为此心存感激。然而，这也让我意识到，我们在这里的存在在这个伟大的环境中听起来毫无意义，就像我们是来自另一个世界的访客。)”结合文章主要讲述了作者随Quark Expeditions旅行社前往北极旅行的经历，这种文章通常出现在旅游杂志。故选D。 Passage 6 （24-25高一上·马鞍山二中·期中） Ten years ago, Price Hill resident Patti Hogan noticed a problem in her neighborhood. Instead of letting the problem go on, she took action. Hogan is now a board member for the program she launched a decade ago, the Price Hill Safety Community Action Team (CAT). The community program works to beautify Price Hill while also keeping kids out of trouble. Hogan has lived in Price Hill all her life and started the Safety CAT to address a significant problem she was seeing in the community. “We had a terrible problem with young kids just standing around on the street and wrestling with each other,” Hogan said. Along with fights, Hogan says streets were filled with abandoned homes and overgrown grass. Not wanting to move away, she thought about what she could do — attack the problem head-on. Each Saturday during the summer, the sounds of lawnmowers (割草机) fill the neighborhood. Those who are making this “music” are the neighborhood kids who are part of the Safety CAT. They come together to cut and clean up the lawns of abandoned homes. Hogan helps teach the kids how to work a landscape, and how to earn a dollar — they bring home around $45 each week. As Hogan explains, the lesson is more than about money. “We’re keeping them busy and then they’re giving back to the neighborhood by changing some of the blight (破败之处) and in the process, we’re teaching them values and character lessons as we go,” Hogan explains. She also hopes she is teaching them to treasure their neighborhood as much as she does. That love has spread to the children on the program. Philip Miller, who graduated from the 10-week summer program two years ago, now comes back to help guide the other kids. “This program helps you look at work as a team and also work on your individual personal growth,” explains Miller. Hogan says they still have spaces open for anyone interested in getting their child involved, and they are always looking for volunteers. 21．Why did Patti Hogan start the program? A．To offer old people free services. B．To make her neighborhood a better place. C．To raise public awareness about environmental issues. D．To make officials aware of the problems facing Price Hill. 22．How does the program benefit the kids according to Patti Hogan? A．It allows them to make money each day. B．It teaches them practical skills for their future. C．It helps them know about their neighborhood. D．It assists them in shaping good personal qualities. 23．What does Philip Miller’s story show? A．The program really works well. B．Children need space to volunteer more. C．The program changed the kids’ career path. D．Children need a role model in their personal growth. 24．What can we say about Patti Hogan after reading the text? A．She has a tough but gentle nature. B．She is narrow-minded but generous. C．She has a strong sense of social responsibility. D．She is eagerly seeking support for her program. 【答案】21．B 22．D 23．A 24．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Patti Hogan为解决社区问题，发起并运营Price Hill Safety CAT项目的故事。 21．细节理解题。根据第一段中“Hogan is now a board member for the program she launched a decade ago, the Price Hill Safety Community Action Team (CAT). The community program works to beautify Price Hill while also keeping kids out of trouble.(Hogan现在是她十年前发起的普莱斯山安全社区行动小组（CAT）的董事会成员。社区项目旨在美化普莱斯山，同时让孩子们远离麻烦)”可知，Patti Hogan十年前发起的Price Hill Safety CAT项目致力于美化Price Hill社区，同时让孩子们远离麻烦。因此，她发起这个项目的目的是为了让她的社区变得更好。故选B。 22．细节理解题。根据第四段中“As Hogan explains, the lesson is more than about money. “We’re keeping them busy and then they’re giving back to the neighborhood by changing some of the blight (破败之处) and in the process, we’re teaching them values and character lessons as we go,” Hogan explains.(正如Hogan解释的那样，这个课程不仅仅是关于金钱。“我们让他们忙碌起来，然后通过改变一些破败之处，他们为社区做出了贡献。在这个过程中，我们在教导他们价值观和品格课程。” Hogan解释道)”可知，Hogan认为，这个项目会让孩子们忙碌起来，通过改变一些破败之处来回馈社区，让他们也学习价值观和形成良好的品格。所以这个项目有助于孩子们塑造良好的个人品质。故选D。 23．推理判断题。根据第五段中“Philip Miller, who graduated from the 10-week summer program two years ago, now comes back to help guide the other kids. “This program helps you look at work as a team and also work on your individual personal growth,” explains Miller.(Philip Miller两年前从这个为期10周的暑期项目毕业，现在他回来帮助指导其他孩子。“这个项目帮助你以团队的方式看待工作，同时也促进你的个人成长，”Miller解释说)”可知，两年前从为期10周的暑期项目中毕业的Philip Miller现在回来帮助指导其他孩子，他认为这个项目有助于他看待团队合作，也有助于他的个人成长。由此可推知，Philip Miller的故事表明这个项目真的很有成效。故选A。 24．推理判断题。根据全文内容及第一段中“Ten years ago, Price Hill resident Patti Hogan noticed a problem in her neighborhood. Instead of letting the problem go on, she took action.(十年前，普莱斯山居民Patti Hogan注意到她所在社区的一个问题。她没有让问题继续下去，而是采取了行动)”可知，Patti Hogan注意到她所在社区的一个问题，但她没有让问题继续下去，而是采取了行动。由此可推知，Patti Hogan是一个有强烈社会责任感的人。故选C。 主题02 人与自我——生活与学习 Passage 1 （24-25高一上·马鞍山二中·期中） I’m a single dad raising a son, so I usually helped my child select my Father’s day gifts, and then paid for them. When my son was a high school senior, he took control of the gifting by offering to drive us to Denny’s for breakfast. But the evening before the holiday, I couldn’t sleep. What kept me awake was the realization that this would be the last Father’s day before my kid left for college. It truly felt like I had just taken the training wheels off my son’s bike. In my household, the fridge door is the all-knowing parental focus holding the academic and sports schedules, the school lunch menu, and the family calendar. Also attached to it are photos, awards, artwork, and the “good” report cards. The refrigerator is a super-sized memory book of my son’s life. I began to go through the objects of significant emotional value, which required me to pull the fridge out because all the baby items were pushed to the sides. As I checked the golden oldies, I quickly realized three things. First, I had too many photos. Second, I needed to clear up the sides of the refrigerator. Third, soccer was a big part of our lives. I never played or watched soccer before parenthood. Yet, I became the coach for all his teams until he reached middle school. Back then I assumed it was my fatherly duty to support my son’s activities, but now I understood that I was wrong. After years of supporting, guiding, and loving my son, I finally recognized that taking part in my son’s life on any level was not a duty— it was an honor. I time-traveled through mementos (纪念品), and each memory helped me understand what being a dad really meant. Teenagers might not give us presents we want or need on Father’s day. But they have already given us the best possible gift — allowing us to feel what it’s like to be their dad. 25．What kept the author awake before Father’s day? A．Planning a surprise for his father. B．Reflecting on his poor father-son relationship. C．Feeling emotional about a special Father’s day. D．Getting excited about the breakfast at Denny’s. 26．Why is the fridge important to the family? A．It adds an artistic touch to the house. B．It holds memories of passing family days. C．It is a source of creativity for school lunch. D．It serves as a gathering place for family members. 27．Why did the author pull out the fridge? A．To redecorate its sides. B．To clear up the kitchen. C．To make room for a new one. D．To uncover personal mementos. 28．Why did the author claim that he was wrong in the last but one paragraph? A．He recognized he had too many photos. B．He regretted not playing soccer before parenthood. C．He realized fatherhood was about pride rather than a task. D．He felt ashamed to let his son take control of the gifting. 【答案】25．C 26．B 27．D 28．C 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了一位单身父亲在儿子高中毕业、即将上大学前的最后一个父亲节前夕难以入眠，他从冰箱承载的回忆里感悟，多年支持儿子，如今明白父亲不是一种任务，而是荣耀。 25．推理判断题。根据第一段最后两句“But the evening before the holiday, I couldn’t sleep. What kept me awake was the realization that this would be the last Father’s day before my kid left for college.(但在这个节日的前一天晚上，我无法入睡。让我睡不着的是我意识到这将是我儿子去上大学前的最后一个父亲节)”可知，作者因为意识到这是儿子去上大学前的最后一个父亲节，对这个特殊的父亲节感触颇深，所以睡不着。故选C项。 26．细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句“The refrigerator is a super-sized memory book of my son’s life.(冰箱是一本超大号的我儿子生活的记忆之书)”可知，冰箱对这个家庭很重要，是因为它承载着家庭过往日子的回忆。故选B项。 27．细节理解题。根据第三段第一句“I began to go through the objects of significant emotional value, which required me to pull the fridge out because all the baby items were pushed to the sides.(我开始翻找那些具有重大情感价值的物品，这就需要我把冰箱拉出来，因为所有孩子小时候的东西都被推到了冰箱侧面)”可知，作者拉出冰箱是为了翻找那些具有重大情感价值的物品，找出个人纪念品。故选D项。 28．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段最后一句“Back then I assumed it was my fatherly duty to support my son’s activities, but now I understood that I was wrong. After years of supporting, guiding, and loving my son, I finally recognized that taking part in my son’s life on any level was not a duty— it was an honor.(当时我以为支持儿子的活动是我作为父亲的责任，但现在我明白我错了。在多年的支持、指导和爱我的儿子之后，我终于意识到，在任何层面参与我儿子的生活不是一种义务，而是一种荣耀)”可知，作者明白自己错了，是因为作者意识到做父亲更多的是一种荣耀，而不是一种任务。故选C项。 Passage 2 （24-25高一上·皖江名校·期中） When I was a teenager, I used to be troubled by doubts and fears about my future. One summer afternoon, I drove alone for a change, but suddenly my night turned into disaster. I was rushed to hospital. I remember when I came to, I found my parents were beside me. The doctor walked in, “Due to the seriousness of your injuries,” he began. “You’ll probably have a difficult time walking, let alone be able to dance, or join in sports.” The news was horrific. Basketball was my favourite sport and being on the school team meant everything to me. I cried uncontrollably imagining the worst for my future. My parents took over. “Thank you for your advice,” they said calmly. “Our daughter will be up and walking again soon.” Then followed several months of lying in bed. With determination and the unbelievable support of my family and friends, I began the long and challenging road to healing. What began as a terrible thing gave me time and space to learn about personal development and transformation. With time, not only did I dance and play basketball again, I also transformed my entire way of life. I learned to change the way I thought. I learned to replace despair with hope, and as a result, I was free of anxiety attacks, headaches and lack of confidence. Even more amazingly, that accident created a turning pointing, helping me discover my life’s purpose. Inspired by the positive changes I made to my life; I devoted my life to helping others find the same fulfillment. And now today, as I reflect on the roads we all must travel, I realize that every trouble is an opportunity for growth. If we are open to change, our journeys, no matter how frightening, can offer paths with new horizons. 29．What troubled the author when she was young? A．Lack of friends. B．A traffic accident. C．Worries for future. D．Failure to have a car. 30．Who comforted her when the author regained senses from the accident? A．The family. B．Friends. C．The doctor. D．Teachers. 31．How did the accident benefit the author? A．It made her play basketball better than before. B．It helped her to have a positive attitude to life. C．It was a good chance to stay with her parents. D．It offered her a long time to read her favorite books. 32．What’s the author’s advice to readers in the last paragraph? A．To travel as much as possible. B．To wait for any growth opportunity. C．To look for paths to a new life. D．To accept a change when troubled. 【答案】29．C 30．A 31．B 32．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者因车祸经历转变，从消极到积极，并最终找到人生意义的成长故事。 29．细节理解题。根据第一段中“When I was a teenager, I used to be troubled by doubts and fears about my future.(当我十几岁的时候，我常常为我的未来感到疑虑和恐惧)”可知，作者年轻时为她的未来担忧。故选C。 30．细节理解题。根据第二段中“I remember when I came to, I found my parents were beside me.(我记得我醒来时，发现我的父母在我身边)”和“My parents took over. “Thank you for your advice,” they said calmly. “Our daughter will be up and walking again soon.”(我的父母接过了话。“谢谢你的建议，”他们平静地说。“我们的女儿很快就会站起来走路了。”)”可知，作者从车祸中恢复意识时，是她的家人安慰了她。故选A。 31．推理判断题。根据第三段中“What began as a terrible thing gave me time and space to learn about personal development and transformation. With time, not only did I dance and play basketball again, I also transformed my entire way of life. I learned to change the way I thought. I learned to replace despair with hope, and as a result, I was free of anxiety attacks, headaches and lack of confidence.(一开始的可怕事情给了我时间和空间去学习个人发展和转变。随着时间的推移，我不仅再次跳舞和打篮球，我还改变了我的整个生活方式。我学会了改变我的思维方式。我学会了用希望代替绝望，因此，我摆脱了焦虑发作、头痛和缺乏自信)”可知，这次事故让作者学会了用积极的生活态度去面对，对她是有益的。故选B。 32．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“And now today, as I reflect on the roads we all must travel, I realize that every trouble is an opportunity for growth. If we are open to change, our journeys, no matter how frightening, can offer paths with new horizons.(现在，当我反思我们所有人都必须经历的旅程时，我意识到每一个麻烦都是成长的机会。如果我们愿意接受改变，我们的旅程，无论多么可怕，都能为我们提供新的视野的道路)”可知，作者建议读者在遇到困难时要接受改变。故选D。 Passage 3 （24-25高一上·合肥六校联盟·期中） Growing up, my older sister always told me that going to high school allowed me to have more fun. But on the night before the first day, going to sleep was difficult. I was up all night thinking about how the day would go. What if my friends aren’t in any of my classes? What if I get made fun of? What will people think of when they first see me? The next morning, as I started walking towards the gate of the school I had butterflies in my stomach. There were a lot of students. As I looked around, I started to notice the familiar (熟悉的) faces of my friends who went to primary school with me. For some reason, I would get very nervous when someone new got close to me. The one thing I was most nervous about was walking in late to one of my classes. Guess what? That was exactly what happened. Going to the first period was simple because luckily, other students were helping us find our classes. Not to mention, I ended up having that class with a couple of friends. As I made my way down the halls to get to my second-period class, we had about five minutes to get to our classes. Finally, I ended up getting lost and coming to class ten minutes after the bell had rung, which resulted in the class looking at me when I walked in. I felt self-conscious. Everyone had already taken their seats so I rushed to sit down as well. However, I had to sit with someone new. It took me a while to begin talking to him but once I did, things became easier because I was able to ask for help when needed. In high school I was going to be meeting new people in unfamiliar places, getting used to a new environment, and receiving more responsibilities. But I’m still looking forward to it. 33．How did the author feel before his first day? A．He was too nervous to sleep. B．He missed his old friends badly. C．He felt certain about his future life. D．He was worried about meeting new teachers. 34．What did the author do at the gate of the school? A．He asked others about the campus. B．He communicated with new friends. C．He asked for leave because of his illness. D．He saw his old friends in primary school. 35．What happened when the author was on his way to his first class? A．He lost his way B．He was offered help. C．He made a new friend. D．He ran into his class teacher. 36．What does the underlined word “self-conscious” in paragraph 4 mean? A．Angry. B．Embarrassed. C．Excited. D．Comfortable. 【答案】33．A 34．D 35．B 36．B 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者第一天进入高中校园时的心情以及所发生的事情。 33．推理判断题。根据文章第一段“But on the night before the first day, going to sleep was difficult. I was up all night thinking about how the day would go.(但是在第一天前的晚上，我很难入睡。我一夜未眠，一直在想这一天会怎么过。)”可知，作者很紧张，以至于很难入睡。故选A。 34．细节理解题。根据第二段第一句“The next morning, as I started walking towards the gate of the school I had butterflies in my stomach.(第二天早上，当我开始向学校大门走去时，我感到很紧张。)”和第三句“As I looked around, I started to notice the familiar faces of my friends who went to primary school with me.(当我环顾四周时，我开始注意到和我一起上小学的朋友们的熟悉面孔。)”可知，作者在学校门口看到了小学时的老朋友。故选D。 35．细节理解题。根据文章第三段“ Going to the first period was simple because luckily, other students were helping us find our classes.”(去上第一节课很简单，因为幸运的是，有其他学生在帮助我们找教室。)”可知，作者在上第一节课的路上得到了帮助。故选B。 36．词句猜测题。根据文章第四段“Finally, I ended up getting lost and coming to class ten minutes after the bell had rung, which resulted in the class looking at me when I walked in.(最终，我迷路了，结果上课铃响了十分钟后我才赶到教室，这导致我在走进教室时所有人都看着我。)”可知，作者上课迟到，大家都在看这他，他感觉有点尴尬。由此可推知，self-concious意为“尴尬的”。故选B。 Passage 4 （24-25高一上·合肥六校联盟·期中） Walking is the best form of exercise. It is good for the upper respiratory (与呼吸有关的) system and the legs. It helps us control our weight and blood sugar. Walking is also a good way to help you make more friends, bringing chances to see new things and meet new people. Personally, I try to walk at least 5 miles daily. As well as walking, I also cycle around Xiamen. Cycling is great for weight loss and helps to build stamina (耐力). However, cycling does not allow for the same level of social contact as a walk. It is for this reason that I would strongly suggest that you try long-distance walking if you want to be physically healthy. I originally (最初) started walking around Xiamen because I didn’t have a car, but I soon started to enjoy the walking itself. I have also made many friends during my walks. It’s not uncommon for my 5-mile walk to sometimes take as long as 2 or 3 hours, because I stop to chat with different shop owners along my route. These days, if I skip my walk for even one day, the people in the shops may want to know why I didn’t come. I’ ll never forget the first time some people followed me when I was walking, and asked if it was okay for them to walk with me. I really didn’t know what to say, so I just replied that I didn’t mind. I have been invited for lunch, dinner and sometimes just to sit and drink tea with total strangers. There is nothing more pleasant than walking past a schoolyard and hearing all the kids say hello to me. 37．Why did the author have to take a walk at the very beginning? A．Because he wanted to build his body. B．Because he enjoyed walking. C．Because he had no car. D．Because he wished to make friends. 38．The underlined word “skip” in the third paragraph is closest in meaning to __________. A．annoy B．quit C．revise D．arrange 39．What can be inferred from the passage? A．Cycling allows for no social contact. B．Walking is better than cycling. C．To be healthy, it’s better to cycle. D．The author prefers walking to cycling. 40．Why did the author tell us his walking experience in the last two paragraphs? A．To share the unforgettable experience with us. B．To show us the meaning of walking in social contact. C．To tell us how to develop the habit of walking. D．To explain to us why a usual walk took him as long as 2 or 3 hours. 【答案】37．C 38．B 39．D 40．B 【导语】这一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者通过亲身经历告诉我们散步是最好的运动形式，它有利于身体健康，也有助于人们的社会交往。 37．细节理解题。根据第二段的“I originally started walking around Xiamen because I didn’t have a car, but I soon started to enjoy the walking itself.(我最初开始在厦门四处走动是因为没有车，但很快就开始享受起散步本身了。)”可知，作者最初在厦门不得不走路是因为那时候没车。故选C。 38．词句猜测题。根据划线单词所在的后半句话“the people in the shops may want to know why I didn’t come(商店里的人可能想知道我为什么不来)”可知，商店的人或许想知道作者为什么没有去散步，就意味前半句意为“如果我哪天没有去散步”，所以划线的单词意为“放弃”。故选B。 39．推理判断题。根据第二段的“However, cycling does not allow for the same level of social contact as a walk. It is for this reason that I will strongly suggest that you try long-distance walking if you want to be physically healthy. (然而，骑自行车不允许与散步同等程度的社交接触。正是因为这个原因，如果你想保持身体健康，我强烈建议你尝试长途步行)”以及第三段的“I have also made many friends during my walks.(我在散步时也交了很多朋友)”可知，文中列举了走路带给他的好处，由此可推知，与骑车相比，作者更喜欢走路。故选D。 40．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段的“I have also made many friends during my walks. It’s not uncommon for my 5-mile walk to sometimes take as long as 2 or 3 hours, because I stop to chat with different shop owners along my route.(我在散步时也交了很多朋友。我步行5英里有时需要2到3个小时，这并不罕见，因为我会停下来与沿途不同的店主聊天)”以及最后一段的“I have been invited for lunch, dinner and sometimes just to sit and drink tea with total strangers. There is nothing more pleasant than walking past a schoolyard and hearing all the kids say hello to me.(我被邀请共进午餐、晚餐，有时只是和完全陌生的人坐在一起喝茶。没有什么比走过校园，听到所有的孩子向我问好更令人愉快的了)”可知，这两段主要讲述了作者在散步过程中结识了许多不同的朋友，给作者带来欢乐，由此可推知，作者在最后两段告诉我们他的行走经历是为了向我们展示散步在社交方面的意义。故选B。 主题01 人与自我——生活与学习 Passage 1 （23-24高一上·安师大附中·期中） In my childhood, my parents never shared their worries in economy, instead choosing to let us have a carefree childhood. But I knew, as children often do, that there were times they went without and that they couldn't afford certain things my friends had. Back in those days, hot lunch was a luxury for the wealthier kids, and hot-lunch buyers sat separately from the students who brought cold lunch. My brothers and I brought lunch from home every day. We would look on longingly as the rich kids proudly sat down with their steaming plates of chicken or fish, cold milk, and a piece of cake. I never said anything, but my first grade teacher, Mrs. Caruso, must have seen the yearning (渴望) in my eyes. One day she quietly pressed a note into my hand and whispered, “Give this to your mother.” I skipped home and gave my mom the note. She read it and smiled. “Well, Mrs. Caruso said because of all your hard work, she wants to buy your lunch tomorrow.” The next day, I proudly carried my plate of chicken across the dining hall and took my seat at the hot-lunch table. Honestly, the food wasn't as great as l had imagined, but I was pleased to be there and felt honored to be a part of the group. I don't know why Mrs. Caruso took a shine to me. Maybe she also grew up in a family that struggled. Maybe she knew what it was like to feel just a little less than everyone else. Somehow, even with her quiet charity, she never made me feel ashamed. She just made me feel loved and important. Thanks to her, I learned that I had just as much right as anyone to sit at the hot-lunch table. I don't remember what Mrs. Caruso looked like anymore, but I sure do remember how she made me feel. I've never lost that feeling—of being important to someone and being protected by her. After all these years, I'm still grateful to that wonderful teacher. 1．What kind of life did the author have when he was a child? A．His parents couldn't afford to send him to school.

Bonness was telling a funny story about a trip to Rome. Suddenly, the stylist started moving her hands around in the mirror. “Beth. Beth. Beth. Can you hear me? ” she said. Bonness asked her what was wrong. In her mind, the words were coming out of her mouth. But she could see in the mirror that her lips weren’t moving. She started seeing bursts of light in the sides of her vision (视野). Then suddenly, the sensations disappeared. Tests indicated Bonness had a transient ischemic attack (短暂性脑缺血发作) (TlA). About a third of people who have a TIA go on to have a more serious stroke (中风) within a year. Bonness said she was told it was a one-off incident, so she didn’t worry about future problems. Plus, only old people have strokes, she told herself. She was 49, healthy and fit. Even the doctors implied that she was too young to worry. But the same week, while having a meal with her family, she couldn’t speak clearly again. Bonness went on disability for a few weeks, and returned to work full-time half a year later. In the beginning, she felt less confident about speaking. Later she threw herself into living as healthy as possible. In 2011, her doctor said she’d fully recovered. She stopped all stroke-related medication. In 2014, Bonness retired. She ended up saving a historic craftsman-style home in her neighborhood by changing it into a small residential development. The process had so many twists and turns (意外的曲折变化) that Bonness began writing a book about her story. Last year, she started sharing her writing. She also started a writing group for survivors of stroke and brain injury in the hope that they too might find the same insight (领悟) and comfort. “Maybe it’s about doing more talking and sharing,” she said. “Every experience you have, all that travels with you.” 9．What does paragraph 1 mainly tell us?

He discovered a way to connect and intrigue these students, especially the ones who seemed the hardest to reach. Once, he received a package of flower bulbs (球茎) which he mistakenly thought were onions. He was afraid that they might become weapons (武器) in a classroom fight, so he hid them behind a radiator (暖气片) and forgot about them. Six weeks later, an angry girl ran after a boy who always made troubles. As usual, Ritz rushed towards them to break up what he thought was about to become a disaster. He saw the boy reach towards the radiator and thought he might have hidden a weapon there. To his surprise, the boy suddenly pulled out a bunch of yellow flowers and gave them to the girl as a peace offering. The girl decided to take the flowers home to her mother and peace came back. The forgotten bulbs were actually daffodils (黄水仙). The steam from the radiator had forced them into flowers. From such an experience, Ritz realized that if there was power in plants to stop a classroom fight, there must be power in plants to change students’ lives. He turned the moment of growing plants into a green course, a movement that would change his life and the lives of his students. He designed vegetable gardens into part of the school ground and on top of a building. Ritz’s students now have near-perfect attendance and graduation rates. His efforts have led him to be a great teacher who uses the power of a plant to give a voice to children. 17．What does the underlined word “intrigue” mean in paragraph 1? A．Interest. B．Protect.

(Ritz的学生现在有近乎完美的出勤率和毕业率。)”可知，Ritz的学生出勤率和毕业率近乎完美，由此可推断，Ritz应该是找到了方法能够让学生喜欢上了学习，所以画线单词与“interest(使感兴趣)”的意思最为接近。故选A项。 18．细节理解题。根据第三段中的“To his surprise, the boy suddenly pulled out a bunch of yellow flowers and gave them to the girl as a peace offering.

He had been one almost all his life, loving the company of the little children who rode his bus daily. It made him feel younger and more energetic. His record was clean, without one accident during his duty, which made him a trustworthy driver. However, Mr. Clark, Peter’s boss, was concerned and thought that it was time for him to retire. “You don’t have a choice here, Peter,” he said seriously. “We don’t want to invite any risk to the children who take your bus every day. We need a replacement at this stage.” “But I have a perfect record,”argued Peter. “You know, for an elderly man like me, my job is the only thing that keeps me alive. I want to keep my job.” “Would you take responsibility if something bad happened to those children?” Mr. Clark said. Peter thought it over, and very reluctantly, he gave in to Mr. Clark’s request. Peter decided to retire a week later. His retirement day approached pretty soon. The day before his last day, Peter was dropping off the kids at his first stop when he looked out of the window and saw a lady on the road who had fainted (昏厥). He asked the kids not to leave the bus and got off to help the woman. Just when he finished, he heard screams behind him. The children were looking out of the window and screaming. “Fire! Fire! Help!” “How could that have happened?” Peter was shaking in fear. With trembling hands, Peter dialed 911 and rushed to help the children. Peter covered himself with his jacket and burst into the flaming bus. He took the children out of the burning bus one by one. Thankfully, the firefighters arrived soon and helped Peter, saving all students. The next day, Peter saw the entire school gathered in front of his home.

One of them was a durian(榴莲)seller in a local supermarket. I couldn’t even remember how he looked like and I didn’t even know his name. I started part-time work after junior college. I was paid a small sum of $5 an hour ac a part time fashion assistant. Having earned the money the hard way, I definitely learned to treasure every cent. On Father’s Day, I decided to buy some durian for my father.

I focused all my attention on the cheapest range, which cost $5 a packet, equal to one hour of work standing around as a part-time fashion assistant. I wanted to get 3 packets for my family. The durian seller appeared and asked me what I wanted. I told him that I would like to get 3 boxes of $5 durian for my father on this special day. He asked me to consider the more expensive choices. I told him I couldn’t afford them. I was ready to pick 3 boxes of $5 durian. The durian seller told me he would sell the durians to me at a discounted price. He took out his marker, adjusted the price, passed me 3 boxes and wished me well. My mind went blank, as I paid only $15 for 3 boxes of durian originally priced at $8 each.

I was paid a small sum of $5 an hour as a part time fashion assistant. (我大专毕业后开始兼职。我做兼职时装助理时薪只有5美元。)”可知，作者做兼职时装助理赚钱。故选B。 26．细节理解题。根据第三段中“On Father’s Day, I decided to buy some durian for my father.(父亲节那天，我决定给爸爸买些榴莲。)”可知，因为那天是父亲节，作者决定给自己的父亲买榴莲。故选D。 27．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“The durian seller told me he would sell the durians to me at a discounted price. He took out his marker, adjusted the price, passed me 3 boxes and wished me well. My mind went blank, as I paid only $15 for 3 boxes of durian originally priced at $8 each. (卖榴莲的人告诉我他会以折扣价卖给我。他拿出马克笔，调整了价格，递给我3盒，并祝我一切顺利。我的脑子一片空白，因为我只花了15美元买了3盒榴莲，原价是每盒8美元。)”可知，当作者告知卖榴莲的人自己无法负担得起更贵的榴莲，因此当卖家考虑到作者的情况后，将每盒8美元的榴莲以每盒5元的价格卖给作者，由此推断卖榴莲的人是善良的。故选A。 28．主旨大意题。通读全文，文章讲述了作者在超市买榴莲时，由于有限的预算只选了最便宜的榴莲，榴莲摊主考虑到作者的情况，以折扣价售卖，使作者只花了$15买了三个榴莲，深深记住这位榴莲摊主的善良。C选项“Kindness Received on Father’s Day(父亲节收到的善意)”概括文章内容，符合标题。故选C。 Passage 8 （23-24高一上·安庆一中·期中） The first day of school is a special milestone for any student, but for one family in Wisconsin, it’s extra special. Two sisters Mia and Samantha, their mom Amy and grandmother Christy attended Carthage College together this fall. Amy said, “I’m really proud to be watching my daughters grow up and be more mature and have new experiences, and very happy to see my mom achieve something that she’s always wanting to do.” Mia shared that she always felt her two older role models would return to school someday. To 19-year-old Samantha, her mom and grandmother’s entry to university was rather a surprise. “It was clear that Mia and I were admitted. And then all of a sudden, they were admitted too,” Samantha remembered. “It was really surprising. And I didn’t expect it.” Amy, a mother of five children, has worked at Carthage College for over two decades and wanted to be enrolled one day. Calling herself “Carthage’s biggest fan”, she said she felt like she now had the time to pursue higher studies. As for 71-year-old Christy, she retired three years ago but is still eager to learn. In fact, she still continues to support and volunteer at local nonprofits. Christy said she was also inspired by her son Joshua, who is pursuing his second master’s degree. She has decided to go forward with a master’s degree in business, design and innovation alongside her daughter. The women are inspirational to anyone who doesn’t want their age to block their dreams. Amy advised everyone to go after what they want because life is too short. “Put that doubt aside and just go for it,” she said. Christy added, “Never hesitate to follow your fear. In my life, it has led me to my greatest opportunities and has also built my greatest strengths. If I always stayed in my comfort zone, I wouldn’t be where I am today.” 29．Why was the first day of school very special to the family in Wisconsin? A．All the family members went to the same college. B．Different generations became schoolmates. C．Twin sisters went to college with their father. D．Carthage College Amy and Christy were admitted to is very famous. 30．How did Mia feel about her mother and grandmother’s attending college? A．Calm. B．Worried. C．Moved. D．Surprised. 31．What can we know about Christy from paragraph 5? A．She retired at the age of sixty. B．She has five grandchildren in all. C．Her majors are the same as Amy’s. D．Her son graduated from the same college. 32．What message does the author want to convey to readers? A．Follow your heart and pursue your dream. B．Many hands make light work. C．Rome was not built in a day. D．There is no royal road to learning. 【答案】29．B 30．A 31．C 32．A 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。本文通过讲述一家三代一起上同一所大学的励志故事，告诉我们一个道理：我们要排除万难去追寻自己内心的梦想。 29．细节理解题。根据第一段“The first day of school is a special milestone for any student, but for one family in Wisconsin, it’s extra special.
