You could turn your back for a moment in my mother’s house, leave a half written letter on the dining table, a magazine open on the chair, and turn around to find that my mother had “put it back where it belonged,” as she explained. My wife, on one of her first visits to my mother’s house, placed a packet of biscuits on an end table and went to the kitchen to fetch a drink. When she returned, she found the packet had been removed. Confused, she set down her drink and went back to the kitchen for more biscuits, only to return to find that her drink had disappeared. Up to then she had guessed that everyone in my family held onto their drinks so as not to make water rings on the end tables. Now she knows better. These disappearances had a confusing effect on our family. We were all inclined to (有……倾向) forgetfulness, and it was common for one of us, upon returning from the bathroom, to find that every sign of his work in progress had disappeared suddenly. “Do you remember what I was doing” was a question frequently asked, but rarely answered. Now my sister has developed a secondhand love of cleaning windows, and my brother does the cleaning in his house, perhaps to avoid having to be the one to lift his feet. I try not to think about it too much, but I have at this later time started to dust the furniture once a week. 5. Which of the following is TRUE about my mother? A. She enjoyed removing others’ drinks. B. She became more and more forgetful. C. She preferred to do everything by herself. D. She wanted to keep her house in good order. 6. My wife could not find her biscuits and drink in my mother’s house because ______. A. she had already finished them B. she forgot where she had left them C. my mother had taken them away D. someone in my family was holding them 7. The underlined part “Now my sister has developed a secondhand love of cleaning windows” in the fifth paragraph suggests that my sister ______. A. is happy to clean windows B. loves to clean used windows C. develops interest in cleaning windows again D. likes cleaning windows as my mother 8. This passage mainly tells us that A. my mother helped us to form a good habit. B. my family members had a poor memory. C. my wife was surprised when she visited my mother. D. my mother often made us confused. Passage 3 （24-25高二上·河南渑池·期中） Some of the classrooms at Taft Elementary in Santa Clara, California, have one disadvantage in common: They don’t have windows. That’s true for Logan Earnest’s fifth grade classroom, and he felt it was affecting his students. “Most of the day, they’re inside,” Earnest told CBS News. “And they don’t really get to see any trees, grass, or the blue sky.” He said the gray walls could be depressing to the kids and may affect their attention and even their attendance. This was confirmed by former school psychologist Ernesto Rodriguez, who said the lack of windows does affect kids, because research shows being in and around nature eases anxiety and benefits students. Though no longer a practicing psychologist, perhaps he knows now more than ever the impact nature has on mental health. Rodriguez became a park ranger (公园管理员) on Southern California’s Catalina Island and began focusing on his passion—landscape photography. It was during his training to become a park ranger that he learned a fact that kids who have views out windows to trees do better academically, emotionally and creatively. So an idea to bring nature into rooms occurred to him: Why not bring landscapes in classrooms—via the ceiling (天花板), because teachers don’t typically use them. Rodriguez took 360 degree shots of tree canopies (树冠) using his photography skills, then he printed them and fit them onto the classroom ceiling of Earnest’s fifth grade. “Beautiful,”one student said as she entered the room. Another student said the trees brought him peace, “When you look up, it feels like you’re sitting under a tree.” Earnest said he thought there would be many positive effects on his students. “I think my attendance is going to go up. The kids are going to want to come here more frequently. Overall, I think the kids are going to be happier,” he said. 9. What is the common challenge shared by some classrooms at Taft Elementary? A. Lack of fresh air. B. Absence of windows. C. Insufficient lighting. D. Limited access to technology. 10. Why did Ernesto Rodriguez bring landscapes into classrooms? A. To connect the students with nature. B. To promote his photography skills. C. To improve the teachers’ performance. D. To create an exciting environment for the students. 11. How did the students react to Rodriguez’s pictures on the classroom ceiling? A. They did not notice the change. B. They failed to concentrate on lessons. C. They preferred the original gray ceiling. D. They were in favour of the new additions. 12. What’s Logan Earnest’s attitude towards the change in the classroom? A. Cautious and objective. B. Appreciative and supportive. C. Concerned but doubtful. D. Curious but unsure. Passage 4 （24-25高二上·河南百师联盟·期中） Maureen Stanko always felt her son, Nick, had so much to give. Nick is 20 and is on the autism spectrum (自闭症) and despite her knowing he had so much to give, what he would do after graduation kept his mom up at night. In Pennsylvania, where they live, students with disabilities can stay in school until they are 22 years old. Stanko says she’s heard from many parents of kids with disabilities that they worry about their kids’ futures. Stanko brought the worry to Nick’s doctor, Tyler Kammerle, who told her he had a goal of opening a restaurant to employ people with disabilities. They teamed up with philanthropist (慈善家) Kathy Opperman to make that dream a reality. They opened the So Much To Give Inclusive Cafe in Cedars, Pennsylvania in January 2023. They employ 63 people — 80% of employees have a disability — and they work as greeters, food runners, chefs, dishwashers and servers. Stanko didn’t know if Nick would be able to work at the cafe. But he goes beyond her expectations and helps out at the cafe before it opens, setting up the tables before diners arrive. “I actually brought him here on Wednesday because his school was closed and he set this entire room up without me saying a word,” she said. “And the level of pride in him was just incredible.” Stanko didn’t stop at the cafe. Her dream was to create a space to teach people with disabilities. So, across the street, she opened up the Inspiration Studio, where they teach music, life skills, crafts and other classes for people with disabilities. Stanko says she couldn’t have done it all without her team and the donors who helped make both of the spaces possible. “I did originally think that So Much To Give was all about Nick and others with different abilities,” she said. “But what I’ve learned through this whole process is that it’s not just about Nick and other people with disabilities. Everybody has so much to give.” 13. What was Maureen Stanko’s initial concern for her son Nick? A. His disease diagnosis. B. His future after graduation. C. Finding a good doctor for him. D. Figuring out his personality. 14. How did Nick feel about working at the cafe? A. Stressed. B. Challenging. C. Pleasant. D. Realistic. 15. Why did Stanko open up the Inspiration Studio for individuals with disabilities? A. To create opportunities of work for them. B. To enhance the educational environment. C. To allow them to get mental health services. D. To support them in their learning journey. 16. What did Stanko learn through the process? A. The importance of having a backup plan. B. The limitations of people with disabilities. C. The necessity of more funding for such projects. D. The universal potential in everyone to contribute. Passage 5 “A good book is easy to find. ” That is the message on a sign at Hernando Guanlao’s home in the Makati area of Manila, the capital of the Philippines. Guanlao has turned his home into a free public library. Visitors can borrow the books inside for free. Guanlao hopes his library will inspire people to read, especially the young. The 72-year-old said that his library includes books that all students can enjoy — from young children in kindergarten to older students in grade 12. Guanlao’s library has books for readers of all interests. He spoke to reporters at his home, which is filled with thousands of available books. He calls his library Reading Club 2000. It contains many different kinds of books, or genres (体裁) . Genre is a group of artistic, musical, or literary works that share a particular style, form, or content. Some genres in literature are poetry, non-fiction (or real stories) , and fiction (or imaginary stories) . Then there are “sub-genres” such as cookbooks, science fiction, and mystery, to name just a few. He started his library more than 20 years ago when he set 50 books on the walkway in front of his home. Guanlao’s collection has grown greatly over the years — thanks to a continuous supply of books from donors. Speaking of donors, he said, “They just leave boxes of books outside my house.” He has also started donating books himself. He sends reading materials to public schools in far-away communities. Guanlao’s efforts come at a time when reading ability among students in the Philippines remains low. The Programme for International Student Assessment reports that reading scores in the Philippines are among the lowest in the world. The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development runs that programme. Students in the Philippines are also facing learning delays in math and science. Guanlao is firm about his goals: “My mission (使命) is to give away used and donated books to others at no cost,” he said, “and to promote education through literature.” 17. Who are the main targeted readers of Reading Club 2000? A. The youth. B. Literary lovers. C. Middle-aged and old readers. D. Community book donors. 18. Which statement about Guanlao’s library is UNTRUE according to the text? A. The book classification is very detailed. B. The library continuously buys books for public schools. C. The collection of the library is constantly expanding. D. Rich books can satisfy various reading tastes. 19. What was the original intention behind the establishment of this private library? A. To increase social influence. B. To enrich the cultural atmosphere. C. To respond to the government's call. D. To help with the backward education situation in Philippines. 20. What is Guanlao like? A. He is a self-disciplined teacher. B. He has a strong sense of social responsibility. C. He is an industrious volunteer in the library. D. He is traditional and conservative. 主题02 人与自我 Passage 1 （24-25高二上·河南驻马店·期中） My husband and I used to live in the city, but we often faced a lot of problems there. There was a lot of late-night noise. It was difficult to find parking. And the rent of the apartment was high. Finally, my husband and I decided to move to the suburbs (郊区) outside Boston. We started looking for our new home. It turned out that many other people were also moving to the suburbs and it wasn’t easy to find a nice house there. Finally, we went to see a small and dark house. It needed a lot of work.

I went straight to the teacher and asked if this was the right class. With a soft voice,he answered.“Yes.”His voice made me feel a little comfortable. He gave me a sheet called Course Requirements, which I would never get in India because we didn’t have anything like that. Then he asked me to choose where I would sit. I didn’t actually want to pick a seat. In India we had fixed seats, so I never needed to worry about that. I spent the rest of the class taking notes from the image produced by the overhead projector. In India schools, we didn’t use the technology we had.We had to take notes as the teacher spoke. It was noon. I was very confused about when I would have lunch. I went to my next class and the bell rang as I entered. Again, I asked the teacher if I was in the right class.

Passage 4 （24-25高二上·河南开封·期中） No matter how successful — or lately, unsuccessful — Manchester United has been on the court, which has always prided itself on an incredible ability to generate the game’s brightest young stars. The latest breakthrough talent, it seems, is 18-year-old midfielder Kobbie Mainoo. The teenager’s emergence from the youth academy (学院) has been one of the few satisfying points in an otherwise difficult season for the team, and the highlight of his fledgling (刚刚起步的) career came during United’s 4 — 3 win against Wolverhampton Wanderers on Thursday. After the host had seemingly got a draw in the 95th minute of the match, Mainoo showed his considerable potential by scoring a winner in the dying moment. The English youngster received the ball under pressure outside of the opposition’s box before rushing his way towards the goal, hitting against a Wolves defender on the way. Then, when other players might have panicked, Mainoo was composed and guided a perfect shot into the far corner of the net. While his teammates celebrated wildly, Mainoo knelt down and slid towards the crowd after scoring his first Premier League goal. It was a sensational moment and a goal which might change the teenager’s life forever. “I’ve still not come down from it. I still feel like I’m dreaming, to be honest,” Mainoo told TNT Sports after the match. “To start playing in the Premier League for my boyhood club has been amazing. Now I am just trying to play more games and win more games.” There have been moments this season, though, where his inexperience has shown, but the future looks bright for the young midfielder who seems to have his feet firmly on the ground. “He is making incredible progress. He has great abilities as a modern midfield player,” Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag told reporters after the game. “He can defend and attack but also he has the physicality to do both ways.” Manchester United is currently ranked seventh in the Premier League and they are working hard to secure the top four, which will ensure qualification for next season’s Champions League. 33.

So when her high school English teacher assigned a passion project, Haske came up with a creative idea that connected surfing and trash. She collected litter on the beach and used it to create a surf board in an effort to raise awareness about ocean pollution. “The feeling of catching a wave is fantastic. It’s such a mental release,” said Haske, standing on the beach waxing(上蜡) her newly finished trash board. “I really hope it floats.” Her teacher assigned the project months ago and was surprised to see how Haske’s enthusiasm about it grew throughout the school year. “Not every student found her passion, but she did,” said the teacher. “I’m super proud of her.” Over the winter, Haske, who would graduate soon, collected litter including cigarette butts, bottle caps, fast-food containers and masks along the resort area beach. “It was definitely a unique challenge,”Haske said. She landed a sponsor and raised money from friends to create the surf board, which cost about $1,000. Haske took custom orders and helped people build their own surf boards. Making one out of trash was a first for her. Nearly the entire board was made from recycled material and litter. On Tuesday after school, Haske went out and attempted to ride a wave on her new board, but the mostly flat conditions made it difficult. The nose of the surfboard made by herself kept going under the water, but Haske stayed upbeat. “It’s pretty heavy up front, but it’s going to be my best friend,” Haske said after coming out of the water. “It’s made for large waves.” 37. Why did Haske make the surf board? A. To put trash to the best use. B. To take a surfing competition. C. To pursue her passion for surfing. D. To draw attention to ocean pollution. 38.

Passage 2 （24-25高二上·河南濮阳·期中） In 1925, a deadly epidemic (流行病) struck the small town of Nome, Alaska. The total population of the town was only around 1,400 — seven of whom were dead and 19 of whom were sick. To make matters worse, the nearest source of a cure was hundreds of miles away, across the dangerous Alaskan wilderness. Then, a Siberian husky (a kind of dog) named Balto saved the day. Balto was just one of 150 sled (雪橇) dogs used to deliver medicine to the town through whiteout snow and dangerous ice. And although Balto had never stood out from the rest of the pack (狗群) before, he proved to be surprisingly skillful and tough in the last leg of the journey. Now known as the Nome Serum (血清) Run of 1925, the race began on January 27, 1925, when 300,000 doses of antitoxin (抗毒素) arrived in Nenana by train from Anchorage. The medicine was placed inside a metallic container, and then taken out into the Alaskan wilds by the first sled driver, “Wild Bill” Shannon, who arrived at the first handoff site with injuries caused by the extreme coldness and two of his dogs lost. Eventually, the medicine made its way to Leonhard Seppala, who set out confidently with his 12-year-old sled dog, Togo, leading the pack. Togo led Seppala’ s pack until they reached the next sled driver, Charlie Olson, who then passed it down to Gunnar Kaasen. But Togo no longer led the pack. Instead, Kaasen completed the last leg of the journey with Balto as his frontrunner. Although Kaasen couldn’t even see in the whiteout conditions, and temperatures dropped to around 40 degrees Fahrenheit, Balto pressed on, successfully leading the pack to Nome, with the serum, on February 2. Finally able to rest for the first time since the journey began , Kaasen looked to Balto and said, “What a fine dog!” And with that, Balto became a national hero who remains beloved nearly a century later. 41. What’s the function of paragraph 1? A. To provide background information. B. To inspire the readers’ imagination. C. To introduce a terrible disease. D. To support an argument. 42. What can be learned about the Nome Serum Run of 1925? A. Its exact starting point was in Nome. B. It suffered the loss of a sled driver. C. Its aim was to save the 19 sick people. D. It was completed through teamwork. 43. What did Togo do during the journey? A. He saved the serum from being broken. B. He protected other dogs on the way. C. He served as the guide of Kaasen. D. He led the group for some time. 44. What may be a suitable title for the text? A. The Qualities of a Great Sled Dog B. The Origins of the Alaskan Husky C. Balto — The Hero of the Nome Serum Run D. Nome — The Town That Survived an Epidemic Passage 3 （24-25高二上·河南南阳·期中） A six-year-old longing to keep a unicorn (独角兽) in her backyard figured she’d get the hard part out of the way first. Last November, Madeline wrote a letter to the Los Angeles County Department of Animal Care and Control with a straightforward request. “Dear LA County, I would like your approval if I can have a unicorn in my backyard if I can find one. Please send me a letter in response.” Director Mayeda replied two weeks later. The department does in fact license unicorns, she said, under certain conditions. Those include polishing the unicorn’s horn (角) at least once a month with a soft cloth, feeding it watermelon at least once a week, covering it with only sparkles and giving it regular access to sunlight, moonbeams and rainbows. And, because unicorns are indeed very rare to find, the department is also giving Madeline a toy unicorn to keep her company during her search, as a token of appreciation. “It is always rewarding to hear from young people who thoughtfully consider the requirements of providing a loving home for animals, ” Mayeda wrote in the letter. “I like your sense of responsible pet ownership to seek permission in advance to keep a unicorn in Los Angeles County. ” Mayeda told the Washington Post that was the first time the department had received a request for a license for a unicorn or any mythical creature. They were impressed with the first-grader for wanting to ask permission in the first place, and doing her research to work out how to go about that. She and her colleagues deal with a lot of “life-and-death” issues on the job, whether that’s seeing cases of animal abuse or animals hurting people or making decisions about having to put down dangerous or sick animals. So Madeline’s letter has considerably brightened their spirits, and she is due to visit the department this week to discuss her unicorn license application. Safe to say, she’s in for a magical surprise. 45. Why did Madeline write the letter? A. To apply to visit a unicorn. B. To ask permission to keep a pet. C. To learn to provide animal care. D. To figure out how to find a unicorn. 46. What can we learn from paragraph 3? A. Her application was disapproved. B. She was presented with a live unicorn. C. Requirements should be met for the license. D. Guidance was given for her search. 47. Which of the following best describes Mayeda? A. Imaginative B. painstaking C. Indifferent D. Understanding 48. Why does the department think the letter “has brightened their spirits”? A. Because they are touched with the girl’s deeds. B. Because animal protection is a life-and-death issue. C. Because they are worn out with their daily work. D. Because it is the first application letter for a pet. 主题01 人与社会 Passage 1 （24-25高二上·河南长葛·期中） When I was in the fifth grade, my teachers first discovered that I could not even read the first grade books. They didn’t think this kind of problem could happen to me since my father was a famous scientist. My parents sent me to experts, trying to find out what the problem was. My IQ was high, but I had severe problems in learning. They discovered that I was dyslexic (诵读困难的). I was lucky that my parents cared enough to find a way out for me. When my parents went to Ford Country Day School and sat down with Brent, a teacher in the school, he agreed to help without thinking twice. My family was not rich and I was allowed to go to school free of charge because my mother drove some students to school in the morning in her car. I do know, however, without Brent reaching out to my family, my life would have taken a turn for the worst. Brent and my parents decided to have me retake the fifth grade in the next school year. I was afraid of going to school with my difficulties in learning, but Brent’s kind and loving support helped me slowly learn to grow and overcome my learning disability. Ford Country Day School has become the most important turning point in my life. The foundation that Brent gave me has in many ways set my direction in life. I went to Japan to live with my brother for one year right out of Ford Country Day School. I was in an international school in Tokyo. If I had not had the experience in Ford Country Day School, I would not have been able to survive in Japan.

It was a time when women’s education was not considered important in the United States. The States did require each town to provide a school for children, but there were not enough teachers. Most young women were not able to continue their education. If they did, they often were not taught much except French, how to sew (缝) clothing, and music. Mary Lyon felt that women’s education was extremely important. She believed women were teachers both in the home and in the classroom. Mary opened a school for young women in Buckland. She suggested new ways of teaching, including holding discussion groups for students. Then, Mary began to raise money for her dream school for the higher education of women. This school would own its own property. Its finances would be the responsibility of the directors. It would not depend on any person to continue. And, the students would share in cleaning and cooking to keep costs down. In 1837, Mary Lyo n founded Mount Holyoke Female Seminary. In 1893, 44 years after her death, under a state law, Mount Holyoke Female Seminary became the first college to offer women the same kind of education as men. Mary’s efforts led to the spread of higher education for women in the United States. Her influence lasted as many students from her schools went out to teach others. 53. What’s the problem with women’s education in the 19th century? A. They weren’t supported by their family. B. They had no right to have education. C. They had little chance to be teachers. D. They had few choices of subjects. 54. What can we know about Mary from paragraph 2? A. She suggested the traditional ways of teaching. B. She preferred women to be educated at home. C. She attached importance to women’s education. D. She advised women to learn by themselves. 55. What was Mary’s dream school like? A. It would have very strict rules. B. It would be independent in finances. C. It would be owned by the government. D. It would depend on some important people. 56. What is the best title for the text? A. Mary Lyon: A Supporter of Higher Education B. Mary Lyon: A Leader in Women’s Education C. Mary Lyon’s Great Influence on Her Students D. Mary Lyon’s Efforts to Pass a New Education Law Passage 3 （24-25高二上·河南郑州·期中） The rolled-up painting of a female figure was discovered in a pile of rubbish that a junk dealer was hired to throw away in the early 1960s, and it hung in the family living room and then restaurant in Pompei, near Naples, for years until his son decided to investigate. The junk dealer’s son Andrea Lo Russo said that his first inkling of the painting’s origin came when he saw a Picasso in a middle school textbook, but neither his teacher nor his father was persuaded. His curiosity continued, and in his early 20s, Lo Russo drove to Paris and brought the painting to the Picasso Museum. “They looked, and they said, ‘It is not possible,’” Lo Russo recalled. He turned down their invitation to leave the painting for further examination, not wanting to give it up. After decades of trying to determine the painting’s origin, Lo Russo believed that a recent battery of tests carried out by the Swiss-based Arcadia Foundation finally offered proof that it’s the work of Picasso. “We include lab tests that show the paints used are consistent with Picasso’s color palette during the period,” said Luca Marcante, a trained chemist who founded the Arcadia Foundation in 2000 to investigate the origin of artworks. “Most recently, a handwriting expert authenticated (证实) the signature on the upper left-hand corner as that of Picasso.” The only group that can authenticate the painting is the Picasso Administration in Paris. It hasn’t responded to a series of requests over the years. Marcante said that he was preparing to share the most recent findings with them. “The only real one is Lo Russo’s because we have examined it in a scientific manner. We are completely sure about our work, and about the results science has given us,” Marcante said. “We can touch this painting with our hands. It is real. It is authentic.” 57. What does the underlined word “inkling” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Thought. B. Decision. C. Lesson. D. Report. 58. Why did Lo Russo drive to the Picasso Museum? A. To do some tests on his own. B. To pick up his father working there. C. To seek confirmation on a painting. D. To enjoy Picasso’s paintings. 59. What can be learned from Marcante’s words in the last paragraph? A. He avoided touching the painting. B. He was confident of his judgement. C. He was a famous handwriting expert. D. He worked for the Picasso Administration. 60. Which word can best describe Lo Russo? A. Kind-hearted. B. Open-minded. C. Generous. D. Determined. 主题02 人与自我 Passage 1 （24-25高二上·河南洛阳·期中） Growing up as a kid in the UK, I was fascinated by insects. Wanting to protect them, I started building little houses for ants, using little pieces of wood and leaves. I then moved on to making little cups and saucers from silver foil (银箔) for the magical creatures that I thought lived at the bottom of the garden. When my mother saw my work, she told me that the smaller I made things, the bigger my name would become. As the years went by, my designs became more complicated. And I used many different materials, such as diamond fragments, eyelashes and even spider web threads. I sometimes work for 16 hours a day without breaks, and it takes me up to three months to finish a sculpture(雕塑). I have to hold my breath during the sculpting process. It isn’t actually an enjoyable process—I can only enjoy it once I’ve finished it. My sculptures have taken me to incredible places. In 2012, I met the queen, giving her a tiny crown on the head of a pin. In 2013, I received my first Guinness World Record for creating the smallest sculpture made by hand. It was a 24-carat gold motorbike that fitted inside a drilled out hair. In 2017, I beat my record with a sculpture of a human fetus (胎儿) that measured 0.078mm by 0.053mm. One time, a fly landed on a Cinderella carriage sculpture I was working on. The fly’s wings blew it away, and it was lost. I was heartbroken. Another time, I accidentally breathed in a tiny Alice from Alice in Wonderland. Alice is now in Wonderland forever. But it did give me the chance to make an even better one the second time around. I was diagnosed with autism (自闭症) as an adult. In school, my teachers had pointed me out as an example of failure; now, I see my autism as a gift. It’s pushed me to be the best I can be. I hold workshops in schools for children with mental diseases, sharing with them my life and work and helping them create their own small figures out of Blu-Taok. The tiny world has always been my happy place. I’ve tried to make bigger soulptures, but small is best for me. We need to appreciate the little things in life. Small things can also be great, too. 61.. Why did the author start making small sculptures? A. To become famous. B. To beat the record. C. To shelter insects. D. To meet the queen. 62. How long can the author work with one sculpture? A. Sixteen hours. B. About a year. C. About two weeks. D. Up to three months. 63. Which best explains the underlined sentence “Alice is now in Wonderland forever.” in paragraph 4? A. Alice gives me a chance to make a better one. B. The tiny Alice is lost and cannot be recovered. C. It takes diverse materials to finish the tiny Alice. D. The wonderland is so attractive that Alice won’t return. 64. What is a suitable title for the text? A. Small but powerful B. My fight with autism C. Have fun with sculpture D. The smaller, the better Passage 2 （24-25高二上·河南商丘·期中） When I woke up after the operation, I received some unexpected and unpleasant news. My doctor told me that I had cancer. The dreaded “C” word! And worse yet, this type of cancer was known as “the silent killer”. “Was I going to live? What was going to happen next? Would I lose my hair?” Everything happened so quickly. Chemotherapy (化疗) began two weeks later. I learned that on days fourteen through seventeen of my chemotherapy treatments, my hair would start falling out soon. I was frightened and felt powerless, yet within me a sense of determination appeared. “How could I regain my balance?” On the 14th day, I took a deep breath and made up my mind to check into an oceanfront hotel. When my beautiful daughter and closest girlfriends showed up there with scissors, ready for a Head Shaving Party, I knew this was it. I always love a party, and this unique theme became my way forward, my step out of fear and loneliness. I was ready to face this new situation head-on, to change my state of mind and to love what lay ahead. Truthfully, I couldn’t bear to see their shocked looks when seeing me bald, so I made them part of creating my “new look”. We laughed and cried during the process. It was a memorable day. Standing before them, feeling the wind on my hairless head and seeing my reflection, I felt set free instead of weak. I felt inner beauty, strength and courage. I changed that day. I bared my head and my soul to them. I realized that none of us really knows what our future holds. All that is certain is now. So I mustn’t spend my time lost in my circumstances. I must spend it celebrating the love, friendship, beauty and joy that surround me. I chose to live fully each day, with or without hair. 65. What can we learn about the author when she heard the doctor’s “C” word? A. She was emotionally overwhelmed. B. Her desire to survive was awakened soon. C.

Embarrassed. 68. What is the best title for the text? A. Life of the Party B. Be True to Yourself C. Go Where You Look D. Look Life in the Face Passage 3 （24-25高二上·河南许昌·期中） On a hot June day in 2015, I retired after 34 years of teaching high school. Then, I drove to meet my new piano teacher, Mark. I had worked for more than three decades as a busy English teacher with an endless stream of papers to mark and precious little time to experiment or learn new skills. I was determined to make up for all I had been missing. I wanted to finally master the piano and learn how to make music. I told Mark I had a specific concrete goal: to play Clair de lune by Claude Debussy, a piece I remember hearing from early childhood. Determined that there would be a day when I would totally master this piece, I set myself a deadline: I would perform before a gathering of friends on my 60th birthday. For months I did nothing but furiously (猛烈地) practise. When the day came, around 30 friends and relatives crowded into my dining room to hear me play, and aside from a few minor slips, I managed to pull it off without embarrassing myself. People clapped warmly. I made it. I had risen to a challenge, but I still didn’t feel that I was really “making music”. After that, my progress was painfully slow. I had come to hate hearing myself play music badly. I got no pleasure from the act of missing notes. I began focusing on what few things I could do: gardening and cycling. I came to understand that I didn’t have to be that man I’d always thought I ought to be. I could just do what feels good. So, after nearly five years of lessons, I quit. I still love music; I regularly go out to concerts. But now my piano does nothing more than sit silently in my dining room, displaying family photos and collecting dust. And I’m perfectly happy with that. 69. Why did the author learn the piano after retiring from teaching? A. To impress his friends and relatives. B. To avoid the boredom of retirement. C. To start a new career as a concert pianist. D. To pursue a long-time passion for music. 70. What can be inferred from paragraph 4? A. The author attended a concert of piano music. B.

What does the author do with his piano now? A. He uses it for music lessons. B. He uses it for performance. C. He uses it for something unrelated to music. D. He plays it for personal enjoyment occasionally. 72. Which of the following can best describe the author? A. Inner- directed and hardworking. B. Conventional and careless. C. Ambitious and kind-hearted. D. Lazy and pessimistic. Passage 4 （24-25高二上·河南中牟·期中） Tom was pleased to get a role in the school play. It wasn’t a major role and he had only four or five lines. However, he worked hard at perfecting the lines, repeating them in front of a mirror over and over again, as his drama teacher had suggested. He had great fun rehearsing (排练) with the older students. Then finally the big night came. Suddenly, things felt different. The theater was full of audience. He looked around at those experienced actors and saw the confidence they’d shown at rehearsal seemed to have disappeared. Everyone was on edge. When Tom got on stage, he couldn’t help hurrying into the words he had repeated so many times before. He tried to slow down but, thinking about doing that, he suddenly realized he had missed a sentence. With no time to think it over, he carried on. When he stepped off the stage, his hands felt sweaty and his heart was racing. He didn’t think about what he had achieved. Instead, he was beating himself up for the mistake that he had made. The audience, of course, didn’t know he had missed a sentence. In fact, no one noticed it except his drama teacher. “Well done,” she said, “Acting is like learning to ride a bike. You may fall off a few times, yet each time you get back on, you do it better. Your performance may not have been perfect but, for your first time, it was great.” The drama teacher’s words put Tom’s mind at ease. He caught the look of his face in a mirror, which was smiling back at him. Without knowing it, he raised two hands with his thumbs (拇指) up. 73. What do you think of Tom before the big night? A. He was sorry about his limited lines. B. He expected a major role in the play. C. He was devoted to the coming play. D. He was sure about the play’s success. 74. How did Tom feel when he finished the performance? A. Relaxed. B. Puzzled. C. Hopeful. D. Regretful. 75. Why did Tom raise his hands with thumbs up in the end? A. He thought he had done a good job. B. He had accepted his own imperfection. C. He respected his teacher very much. D. He admired his own face in the mirror. 76. What point does the author want to express in the text? A. Your mistakes can help you better yourself. B. There is no need to prepare carefully ahead. C. It’s no use regretting what you had mistaken. D. It is better to do once than to practice ten times. 主题03 人与自然 Passage 1 （24-25高二上·河南遂平·期中） When four young children were found after 40 days in the Colombian Amazon forest, the rescuers noticed that the oldest, 13-year-old Lesly Mucutuy, had some seeds hidden between her teeth. The seeds were from a native Amazon palm tree known as “milpesos” in Colombia. Its fruits are rich in fat and Amazon tribes use them to make a vegetable oil. “She was keeping them so that the warmth of her mouth would open up the seeds and she could feed the pulp (果肉) to her younger sisters and brothers,” said Eliecer Muñoz, one of the four guards who made the very first contact with the children. “That’s how they stayed alive.” Survival experts have been trying to answer this question: How did the four children—the youngest just a baby—survive in the heart of the Amazon rainforest for so long? The stretch of the jungle they were found in is one of the most remote and difficult to reach in Colombia, where wild animals and poisonous insects are plentiful, rains can pour for over 15 hours a day and visibility is sometimes limited to 10 meters due to the thick vegetation. In more than a month without adults, they appear to have survived on wild fruits and three pounds of cassava flour, a high-protein traditional food of the Amazon diet, which they got from the wreckage (残骸) of the plane. When found, the children had bottles they used to collect water, either from streams or from the rain. While their survival remains a marvel, it was no doubt facilitated by traditional knowledge of the forest they acquired from a remarkably young age. Lesly, in particular, is praised for not only staying alive herself, but also making sure her younger sisters and brothers would survive following the loss of their mother in the plane crash. Nelly Kuiru, an activist, believes that her courage goes far beyond botanical skills: “Ancestral, traditional knowledge is more than that Lesly learnt to pick fruits, but there’s something much deeper there, a spiritual connection with the forest surrounding us.” 77. Eliecer Muñoz viewed Lesly’s keeping seeds in her mouth as____________. A. a survival skill B. a rescue technique C. an eating habit D. a unique culture 78. What does the third paragraph mainly talk about? A. The exact cause of the plane crash. B. The detailed search and rescue operations. C. The food the children depended on to stay alive. D. The difficulty of surviving in the Amazon rainforest. 79. Which words can best describe Lesly? A. Talented and experienced. B. Intelligent and responsible. C. Honest and knowledgeable. D. Creative and open-minded. 80. What does Nelly Kuiru mainly want to show in the last paragraph? A. Botanical skills are more important than courage. B. Lesly learned to find food in the forest from her ancestors. C. Lesly is connected with her living environment spiritually. D. Picking fruits is the basic knowledge to survive in the forest. Passage 2 （24-25高二上·河南焦作·期中） Imagine you’re walking through a forest, and the path turns into two different routes. How do you pick which route to walk, and how do you feel about the one you don’t choose? These are key themes in Robert Frost’s famous 1915 poem, The Road Not Taken. Frost was born in San Francisco in 1874, and is remembered as one of the greatest American poets. His poems explore things like morality and self-discovery, as well as nature and rural life. However, The Road Not Taken was actually written as a joke about another poet, Edward Thomas. Frost lived for a period in England, where he became friends with Thomas. The two would take long walks in the countryside together, and Thomas often had trouble choosing which way to go. When Frost read the poem to a group of college students, they took it seriously, unaware of its playful origins. Of course, Frost did say to them, “I’m never more serious than when joking.” The poet’s choices can act as an extended metaphor (隐喻) for the choices we all have to make in life. In the poem, the poet talks about regretting that they can’t take both paths - just as choosing one path in life often means other options become impossible. In the end, the poet chooses the road that looks “less traveled by”, which many readers take as making the poem contain more about individualism too - doing things your own way, not as everyone else does. The poem became more serious thanks to World War I. Frost left England to avoid the war, but Thomas couldn’t decide whether to stay and fight or to follow Frost to America. In 1915, Frost sent the poem to Thomas. And while it wasn’t the only reason Thomas finally decided to fight in the war, he felt it was making fun of his indecision. 81. What inspired Frost to write the poem The Road Not Taken? A. The countryside life. B. One of his friends. C. His difficulty in making choices. D. His eagerness for self-discovery. 82. What did Frost’s words “I’m never more serious than when joking” suggest? A. The poem contained some hidden meanings. B. The poem was not meant to be taken seriously. C. He did not regard his own writing as important. D. He put lots of efforts into the creation of the poem. 83. How do many readers interpret the poet’s choice of the road? A. A way of displaying individualism. B. A representation of life’s unavoidable challenges. C. A piece of advice about following others’ choices. D. An expression of regret for not taking the other path. 84. What lesson can be learned from the story behind The Road Not Taken? A. Humor has no place in the serious works of literature. B. It is important to think over something said by poets. C. Even good friends can finally take separate paths. D. Even the most playful creation can become something significant. Passage 3 （24-25高二上·河大附中·期中） It was 1963 in the Toronto suburb. I was eight years old and hockey (冰球) -crazy. My next-to-zero skills had not stopped my passion for the game. The players of the great hockey club Toronto Maple Leafs were of course my heroes, and their posters and photos covered the walls of my room. There is always some price to pay for maintaining a love. I raised funds in an old-fashioned way, selling something the public could actually sink their teeth into. I joined the local annual event — Margaret’s Doughnuts (甜甜圈) to sell doughnuts, which offered choices of honey-glazed or chocolate-glazed. Door-to-door I went, notebook in hand to record. I sold dozens of dozens; hardly a soul turned me down. My notebook was almost full, and my stomach was almost empty when I went up the last house on the south side. I rang the doorbell and went over my speech while staring at the screen door. Suddenly, the door opened. My unforgettable memory was looking up from a large pair of fuzzy slippers, way up, to the face staring down. I stood there speechless for what seemed 10 years, opening and closing my mouth like a fish out of water. Collecting my calmness, but still unable to go into doughnut-promoting overdrive, I told him something he seemed have already known and he replied with a nod and a smile. I have an unclear memory of murmuring through my speech “Please-buy-some-doughnuts”, and then a vivid memory of him taking the notebook from my hand. I followed with new information — that we shared our given name. With pride from our first-name-basis farewells, I flew home holding the notebook tightly to my chest. The next morning before the school bell, I cautiously showed off the precious paper. It is surely mine alone to claim: I sold a dozen doughnuts to Tim Horton, one of my most respected players who lived a mere three blocks away! 85. What can we know about the author? A. He obtained posters and photos from a star team. B. He joined Toronto Maple Leafs as a young child. C. He was not much of an experienced hockey player. D. His love for hockey was influenced by a star team. 86. Why did the author sell doughnuts? A. To follow the fashion. B. To respond to an event. C. To taste more flavors. D. To pursue his hobby. 87. What happened to the author when he met the owner of the last house? A. He was so speechless with astonishment. B. He was looked down upon by the owner. C. He was scared by the owner’s appearance. D. He forgot his speech for selling doughnuts. 88. Which is the most suitable title for the text? A. A Successful Sale Promotion Of Doughnuts B. An Amazing Journey To Following My Dream C.

It was very important that her house should remain at all times clean and tidy. You could turn your back for a moment in my mother’s house, leave a half written letter on the dining table, a magazine open on the chair, and turn around to find that my mother had “put it back where it belonged,” as she explained. My wife, on one of her first visits to my mother’s house, placed a packet of biscuits on an end table and went to the kitchen to fetch a drink. When she returned, she found the packet had been removed. Confused, she set down her drink and went back to the kitchen for more biscuits, only to return to find that her drink had disappeared. Up to then she had guessed that everyone in my family held onto their drinks so as not to make water rings on the end tables. Now she knows better. These disappearances had a confusing effect on our family. We were all inclined to (有……倾向) forgetfulness, and it was common for one of us, upon returning from the bathroom, to find that every sign of his work in progress had disappeared suddenly. “Do you remember what I was doing” was a question frequently asked, but rarely answered. Now my sister has developed a secondhand love of cleaning windows, and my brother does the cleaning in his house, perhaps to avoid having to be the one to lift his feet. I try not to think about it too much, but I have at this later time started to dust the furniture once a week. 5. Which of the following is TRUE about my mother? A. She enjoyed removing others’ drinks. B. She became more and more forgetful. C. She preferred to do everything by herself. D. She wanted to keep her house in good order. 6. My wife could not find her biscuits and drink in my mother’s house because ______. A. she had already finished them B. she forgot where she had left them C. my mother had taken them away D. someone in my family was holding them 7. The underlined part “Now my sister has developed a secondhand love of cleaning windows” in the fifth paragraph suggests that my sister ______. A. is happy to clean windows B. loves to clean used windows C. develops interest in cleaning windows again D. likes cleaning windows as my mother 8. This passage mainly tells us that A. my mother helped us to form a good habit. B. my family members had a poor memory. C. my wife was surprised when she visited my mother. D. my mother often made us confused. 【答案】5. D 6. C 7. D 8. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。本文主要讲述了母亲喜欢干净整洁,在她的影响下,我们全家都养成了这个习惯。 5.细节理解题。根据第一段“It was very important that her house should remain at all times clean and tidy. (非常重要的一点是，她的房子应该始终保持干净整洁。)”可知母亲希望她的房子整天保持清洁有序。故选D项。 6.推理判断题。根据第二段“You could turn your back for a moment in my mother’s house, leave a half-written letter on the dining room table, a magazine open on the chair, and turn around to find that my mother had . ‘put it back where it belonged,’ as she explained. (在我母亲的家里，你哪怕只是转身片刻，把一封写了一半的信留在餐厅的桌子上，或者把一本翻开的杂志放在椅子上，等你再转过身来就会发现，母亲已经像她所解释的那样，“把东西放回该放的地方了”。)”可知，我妻子找不到饼干是母亲把它拿走放回了原位置。故选C项。 7.词句猜测题。根据所划线句子后半句“and my brother does the cleaning in his house.

That’s true for Logan Earnest’s fifth grade classroom, and he felt it was affecting his students. “Most of the day, they’re inside,” Earnest told CBS News. “And they don’t really get to see any trees, grass, or the blue sky.” He said the gray walls could be depressing to the kids and may affect their attention and even their attendance. This was confirmed by former school psychologist Ernesto Rodriguez, who said the lack of windows does affect kids, because research shows being in and around nature eases anxiety and benefits students. Though no longer a practicing psychologist, perhaps he knows now more than ever the impact nature has on mental health. Rodriguez became a park ranger (公园管理员) on Southern California’s Catalina Island and began focusing on his passion—landscape photography. It was during his training to become a park ranger that he learned a fact that kids who have views out windows to trees do better academically, emotionally and creatively. So an idea to bring nature into rooms occurred to him: Why not bring landscapes in classrooms—via the ceiling (天花板), because teachers don’t typically use them. Rodriguez took 360 degree shots of tree canopies (树冠) using his photography skills, then he printed them and fit them onto the classroom ceiling of Earnest’s fifth grade. “Beautiful,”one student said as she entered the room. Another student said the trees brought him peace, “When you look up, it feels like you’re sitting under a tree.” Earnest said he thought there would be many positive effects on his students. “I think my attendance is going to go up. The kids are going to want to come here more frequently. Overall, I think the kids are going to be happier,” he said. 9. What is the common challenge shared by some classrooms at Taft Elementary? A. Lack of fresh air. B. Absence of windows. C. Insufficient lighting. D. Limited access to technology. 10. Why did Ernesto Rodriguez bring landscapes into classrooms? A. To connect the students with nature. B. To promote his photography skills. C. To improve the teachers’ performance. D. To create an exciting environment for the students. 11. How did the students react to Rodriguez’s pictures on the classroom ceiling? A. They did not notice the change. B. They failed to concentrate on lessons. C. They preferred the original gray ceiling. D. They were in favour of the new additions. 12. What’s Logan Earnest’s attitude towards the change in the classroom? A. Cautious and objective. B. Appreciative and supportive. C. Concerned but doubtful. D. Curious but unsure. 【答案】9. B 10. A 11. D 12. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是记叙文，讲述了Emesto Rodriguez将风景“带进”教室，让孩子们能够在没有窗户的教室里接触到自然的故事。 9.细节理解题。文章第一段讲到“Some of the classrooms at Taft Elementary in Santa Clara, California, have one disadvantage in common: They don’t have windows. (加利福尼亚州圣克拉拉市塔夫脱小学的一些教室有一个共同的缺点：没有窗户。)”可知，这个学校的一些教室面临的一个共同的挑战是它们都没有窗户。故选B。 10.推理判断题。文章第三段讲到“This was confirmed by former school psychologist Ernesto Rodriguez, who said the lack of windows does affect kids, because research shows being in and around nature eases anxiety and benefits students. Though no longer a practicing psychologist, perhaps he knows now more than ever the impact nature has on mental health. (前学校心理学家埃内斯托·罗德里格斯证实了这一点，他说缺乏窗户确实会影响孩子，因为研究表明，在大自然中和大自然周围可以缓解焦虑，对学生有益。)”以及第四段“It was during his training to become a park ranger that he learned a fact that kids who have views out windows to trees do better academically, emotionally and creatively. (正是在他接受公园护林员培训的过程中，他了解到一个事实，即那些能看到窗外树木的孩子在学业、情感和创造力方面都做得更好)”可知，Emesto Rodriguez 将风景“带进”教室是为了将学生和自然联系在一起。接触大自然对孩子们的身心健康有益。故选A。 11.推理判断题。文章第五段中““Beautiful,”one student said as she entered the room. Another student said the trees brought him peace, “When you look up, it feels like you’re sitting under a tree.” (“太美了，”一个学生走进房间时说。另一名学生说，这些树给他带来了平静，“当你抬头看的时候，感觉就像你坐在树下。”)”引用的两个学生的评价可知，他们对教室天花板上的风景是很喜欢的。故选D。 12.推理判断题。文章最后一段中Logan Earmest的话“I think my attendance is going to go up. The kids are going to want to come here more frequently. Overall, I think the kids are going to be happier (我想我的出勤率会上升。孩子们会想更频繁地来这里的。总的来说，我认为孩子们会更快乐)”可知，他对教室里的改变是持欣赏和赞同的态度的。故选B。 Passage 4 （24-25高二上·河南百师联盟·期中） Maureen Stanko always felt her son, Nick, had so much to give. Nick is 20 and is on the autism spectrum (自闭症) and despite her knowing he had so much to give, what he would do after graduation kept his mom up at night. In Pennsylvania, where they live, students with disabilities can stay in school until they are 22 years old. Stanko says she’s heard from many parents of kids with disabilities that they worry about their kids’ futures. Stanko brought the worry to Nick’s doctor, Tyler Kammerle, who told her he had a goal of opening a restaurant to employ people with disabilities. They teamed up with philanthropist (慈善家) Kathy Opperman to make that dream a reality. They opened the So Much To Give Inclusive Cafe in Cedars, Pennsylvania in January 2023. They employ 63 people — 80% of employees have a disability — and they work as greeters, food runners, chefs, dishwashers and servers. Stanko didn’t know if Nick would be able to work at the cafe. But he goes beyond her expectations and helps out at the cafe before it opens, setting up the tables before diners arrive. “I actually brought him here on Wednesday because his school was closed and he set this entire room up without me saying a word,” she said. “And the level of pride in him was just incredible.” Stanko didn’t stop at the cafe. Her dream was to create a space to teach people with disabilities. So, across the street, she opened up the Inspiration Studio, where they teach music, life skills, crafts and other classes for people with disabilities. Stanko says she couldn’t have done it all without her team and the donors who helped make both of the spaces possible. “I did originally think that So Much To Give was all about Nick and others with different abilities,” she said. “But what I’ve learned through this whole process is that it’s not just about Nick and other people with disabilities. Everybody has so much to give.” 13. What was Maureen Stanko’s initial concern for her son Nick? A. His disease diagnosis. B. His future after graduation. C. Finding a good doctor for him. D. Figuring out his personality. 14. How did Nick feel about working at the cafe? A. Stressed. B. Challenging. C. Pleasant. D. Realistic. 15. Why did Stanko open up the Inspiration Studio for individuals with disabilities? A. To create opportunities of work for them. B. To enhance the educational environment. C. To allow them to get mental health services. D. To support them in their learning journey. 16. What did Stanko learn through the process? A. The importance of having a backup plan. B. The limitations of people with disabilities. C. The necessity of more funding for such projects. D. The universal potential in everyone to contribute. 【答案】13. B 14. C 15. D 16. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章通过讲述Maureen Stanko和她儿子Nick的故事，以及他们为了创造包容性工作环境和教育空间所做的努力，展现了母子俩的奋斗历程和积极影响。 13.细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Nick is 20 and is on the autism spectrum (自闭症) and despite her knowing he had so much to give, what he would do after graduation kept his mom up at night.(Nick今年20岁，患有自闭症。尽管她知道他有很多潜力，但他毕业后会做什么却让她夜不能寐)”可知，Maureen Stanko最担心的是Nick毕业后会做什么，即他的未来。故选B。 14.推理判断题。根据文章第四段“But he goes beyond her expectations and helps out at the cafe before it opens, setting up the tables before diners arrive. “I actually brought him here on Wednesday because his school was closed and he set this entire room up without me saying a word,” she said. “And the level of pride in him was just incredible.”(但他超出了她的期望，甚至在咖啡馆开门前就来帮忙，在食客到来前摆好桌子。“我实际上是在星期三带他来的，因为他的学校放假了，他不用我说一句话就把整个房间布置好了，”她说。“他心中的自豪感简直令人难以置信。”)”可知，Nick在咖啡馆工作得非常积极，甚至超出了母亲的期望，他在咖啡馆开门前就来帮忙，布置桌子等，他的母亲也表达了对他的自豪，这些描述都暗示了Nick对在咖啡馆工作感到愉快和自豪。故选C。 15.细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段“Her dream was to create a space to teach people with disabilities. So, across the street, she opened up the Inspiration Studio, where they teach music, life skills, crafts and other classes for people with disabilities.(她的梦想是创建一个空间来教导残疾人。因此，她在街对面开设了“灵感工作室”，在那里为残疾人教授音乐、生活技能、手工艺和其他课程)”可知，Stanko开设“Inspiration Studio”的目的是为了支持残疾人的学习，提供音乐、生活技能、手工艺等课程。故选D。 16.推理判断题。根据文章最后一段““I did originally think that So Much To Give was all about Nick and others with different abilities,” she said. “But what I’ve learned through this whole process is that it’s not just about Nick and other people with disabilities. Everybody has so much to give.”(“我最初认为‘给予如此之多’只是为了Nick和其他有不同能力的人，”她说。“但我在整个过程中学到的是，这不仅仅关乎Nick和其他残疾人。每个人都有很多可以给予的东西。”)”可知，Stanko看到了她儿子Nick以及其他残疾人的潜力和能力，她努力为他们创造机会，让他们能够发挥自己的才能。同时，她也从他们的成功中得到了启发，认为每个人都有贡献的潜力。故选D。 Passage 5 “A good book is easy to find. ” That is the message on a sign at Hernando Guanlao’s home in the Makati area of Manila, the capital of the Philippines. Guanlao has turned his home into a free public library. Visitors can borrow the books inside for free. Guanlao hopes his library will inspire people to read, especially the young. The 72-year-old said that his library includes books that all students can enjoy — from young children in kindergarten to older students in grade 12. Guanlao’s library has books for readers of all interests. He spoke to reporters at his home, which is filled with thousands of available books. He calls his library Reading Club 2000. It contains many different kinds of books, or genres (体裁) . Genre is a group of artistic, musical, or literary works that share a particular style, form, or content. Some genres in literature are poetry, non-fiction (or real stories) , and fiction (or imaginary stories) . Then there are “sub-genres” such as cookbooks, science fiction, and mystery, to name just a few. He started his library more than 20 years ago when he set 50 books on the walkway in front of his home. Guanlao’s collection has grown greatly over the years — thanks to a continuous supply of books from donors. Speaking of donors, he said, “They just leave boxes of books outside my house.” He has also started donating books himself. He sends reading materials to public schools in far-away communities. Guanlao’s efforts come at a time when reading ability among students in the Philippines remains low. The Programme for International Student Assessment reports that reading scores in the Philippines are among the lowest in the world. The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development runs that programme. Students in the Philippines are also facing learning delays in math and science. Guanlao is firm about his goals: “My mission (使命) is to give away used and donated books to others at no cost,” he said, “and to promote education through literature.” 17. Who are the main targeted readers of Reading Club 2000? A. The youth. B. Literary lovers. C. Middle-aged and old readers. D. Community book donors. 18. Which statement about Guanlao’s library is UNTRUE according to the text? A. The book classification is very detailed. B. The library continuously buys books for public schools. C. The collection of the library is constantly expanding. D. Rich books can satisfy various reading tastes. 19. What was the original intention behind the establishment of this private library? A. To increase social influence. B. To enrich the cultural atmosphere. C. To respond to the government's call. D. To help with the backward education situation in Philippines. 20. What is Guanlao like? A. He is a self-disciplined teacher. B. He has a strong sense of social responsibility. C. He is an industrious volunteer in the library. D. He is traditional and conservative. 【答案】4. A 5. B 6. D 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了菲律宾首都马尼拉的Hernando Guanlao在自己的家中设立了一个免费的公共图书馆，希望通过这个图书馆鼓励人们阅读，改善菲律宾落后教育状况的故事。 17.细节理解题。根据文章第二段中“Guanlao hopes his library will inspire people to read, especially the young. The 72-year-old said that his library includes books that all students can enjoy — from young children in kindergarten to older students in grade 12.(Guanlao说他希望他的图书馆能激发人们阅读的兴趣，特别是年轻人。这位72岁的老人说，他的图书馆收藏了所有学生都能阅读的书籍，从幼儿园的幼儿到12年级的大学生)”可知，Reading Club 2000的主要目标读者是年轻人。故选A。 18.细节理解题。根据第六段中“He has also started donating books himself.

There were three big bedrooms and a backyard for my dog. Oh, how lovely the sound of nothing was. I changed the house inch by inch and it became a very comfortable home.

I went straight to the teacher and asked if this was the right class. With a soft voice,he answered.“Yes.”His voice made me feel a little comfortable. He gave me a sheet called Course Requirements, which I would never get in India because we didn’t have anything like that. Then he asked me to choose where I would sit. I didn’t actually want to pick a seat. In India we had fixed seats, so I never needed to worry about that.

It was noon. I was very confused about when I would have lunch. I went to my next class and the bell rang as I entered. Again, I asked the teacher if I was in the right class. She said,“It’s still fourth period.” “But the bell just rang.”I said. Changing from a gentle tone to a harsher(刺耳的)one,she said,“That is the lunch bell, young man.” I said sorry. Without another word I headed for the dining hall. I felt lucky because we didn’t have this in India. Every confusion seemed like a barrier(障碍) I had to get through to reach my goal.At the end of the day, I was on my way to the bus which we didn’t have in India either.

The latest breakthrough talent, it seems, is 18-year-old midfielder Kobbie Mainoo. The teenager’s emergence from the youth academy (学院) has been one of the few satisfying points in an otherwise difficult season for the team, and the highlight of his fledgling (刚刚起步的) career came during United’s 4 — 3 win against Wolverhampton Wanderers on Thursday. After the host had seemingly got a draw in the 95th minute of the match, Mainoo showed his considerable potential by scoring a winner in the dying moment. The English youngster received the ball under pressure outside of the opposition’s box before rushing his way towards the goal, hitting against a Wolves defender on the way. Then, when other players might have panicked, Mainoo was composed and guided a perfect shot into the far corner of the net. While his teammates celebrated wildly, Mainoo knelt down and slid towards the crowd after scoring his first Premier League goal. It was a sensational moment and a goal which might change the teenager’s life forever. “I’ve still not come down from it. I still feel like I’m dreaming, to be honest,” Mainoo told TNT Sports after the match. “To start playing in the Premier League for my boyhood club has been amazing. Now I am just trying to play more games and win more games.” There have been moments this season, though, where his inexperience has shown, but the future looks bright for the young midfielder who seems to have his feet firmly on the ground. “He is making incredible progress. He has great abilities as a modern midfield player,” Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag told reporters after the game. “He can defend and attack but also he has the physicality to do both ways.” Manchester United is currently ranked seventh in the Premier League and they are working hard to secure the top four, which will ensure qualification for next season’s Champions League. 33. What does paragraph 3 mainly tell us about Kobbie Mainoo? A. His goals. B. His education. C. His teammates. D. His performance. 34. What does the underlined word “sensational” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Boring. B. Dramatic. C. Suitable. D. Possible. 35. Which word can best describe Kobbie Mainoo? A. Ambitious. B. Humorous. C. Experienced. D. Shy. 36. What is the aim of Manchester United now? A.

Then, when other players might have panicked, Mainoo was composed and guided a perfect shot into the far corner of the net. (在比赛进行到第95分钟的时候，东道主似乎取得了平局，迈努在最后时刻打进了一球，显示了他的巨大潜力。这名英格兰小将在对方禁区外的压力下接球，然后冲向球门，途中击中了狼队的一名后卫。然后，当其他球员可能会惊慌失措时，迈努镇定自若，将一记完美的射门射进了远角。)”可知，本段主要介绍了Kobbie Mainoo在赛场上的表现。故选D。 34.词句猜测题。根据画线词前“While his teammates celebrated wildly, Mainoo knelt down and slid towards the crowd after scoring his first Premier League goal.

So when her high school English teacher assigned a passion project, Haske came up with a creative idea that connected surfing and trash. She collected litter on the beach and used it to create a surf board in an effort to raise awareness about ocean pollution. “The feeling of catching a wave is fantastic. It’s such a mental release,” said Haske, standing on the beach waxing(上蜡) her newly finished trash board. “I really hope it floats.” Her teacher assigned the project months ago and was surprised to see how Haske’s enthusiasm about it grew throughout the school year. “Not every student found her passion, but she did,” said the teacher. “I’m super proud of her.” Over the winter, Haske, who would graduate soon, collected litter including cigarette butts, bottle caps, fast-food containers and masks along the resort area beach. “It was definitely a unique challenge,”Haske said. She landed a sponsor and raised money from friends to create the surf board, which cost about $1,000. Haske took custom orders and helped people build their own surf boards. Making one out of trash was a first for her. Nearly the entire board was made from recycled material and litter. On Tuesday after school, Haske went out and attempted to ride a wave on her new board, but the mostly flat conditions made it difficult. The nose of the surfboard made by herself kept going under the water, but Haske stayed upbeat. “It’s pretty heavy up front, but it’s going to be my best friend,” Haske said after coming out of the water. “It’s made for large waves.” 37. Why did Haske make the surf board? A. To put trash to the best use. B. To take a surfing competition. C. To pursue her passion for surfing. D. To draw attention to ocean pollution. 38. Which of the following can best describe Haske? A. Proud and reliable. B. Responsible and innovative. C. Tough and faithful. D. Imaginative and desperate. 39. How did Haske make the surfboard? A. With the help of environmentalists. B. By cooperating with her parents. C. By using the trash collected from the beach. D. Under the guidance of her teacher. 40. What does the underlined word “upbeat”in the last paragraph probably mean? A. Optimistic. B. Cautious. C. Peaceful. D. Discouraged. 【答案】37. D 38. B 39. C 40. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了Mallory Haske利用海边捡的垃圾来制作冲浪板，并借此提醒人们注意保护环境的故事。 37.细节理解题。根据第二段第一句“She collected litter on the beach and used it to create a surf board in an effort to raise awareness about ocean pollution. (她收集了海滩上的垃圾，并用它制作了一个冲浪板，以提高人们对海洋污染的认识。)”可知，Haske 制作冲浪板是因为她想以此来提高人们保护海洋的意识。故选D项。 38.推理判断题。通读全文，尤其第一段中“So when her high school English teacher assigned a passion project, Haske came up with a creative idea that connected surfing and trash. (因此，当她的高中英语老师布置了一个充满激情的项目时，哈斯克想出了一个创造性的想法，将冲浪和垃圾联系在一起。)”以及第二段第一句“She collected litter on the beach and used it to create a surf board in an effort to raise awareness about ocean pollution. (她收集了海滩上的垃圾，并用它制作了一个冲浪板，以提高人们对海洋污染的认识。)”可知，Haske注意海洋环境保护，是一个有责任心的人，用垃圾制作冲浪板说明有创意。故选B项。 39.细节理解题。根据第四段第一句“Over the winter, Haske, who would graduate soon, collected litter including cigarette butts, bottle caps, fast-food containers and masks along the resort area beach. (整个冬天，即将毕业的哈斯克在度假区的海滩上收集垃圾，包括烟头、瓶盖、快餐容器和口罩。)”和第五段最后一句“Nearly the entire board is made from recycled material and litter. (几乎整个板子都是由回收材料和垃圾制成的)”可知，Haske的冲浪板是由她在海边捡到的垃圾制作成的。故选C项。 40.词句猜测题。通过画线词的前半句“The nose of the surfboard made by herself kept going under the water, but Haske stayed upbeat. ‘It’s pretty heavy up front, but it’s going to be my best friend,’ Haske said after coming out of the water. ‘It’s made for large waves.’ (她自己做的冲浪板的前端一直在水下，但哈斯克保持upbeat。哈斯克从水里出来后说：‘它在前面很沉，但它将成为我最好的朋友。它是为大浪而造的。’)”可知，虽然冲浪板不太好用，前端无法翘出水面，但Haske依旧很喜欢这块板，认为它适合大浪时的冲浪，upbeat应与upbeat意思相近，表示“乐观的，积极的”。故选A项。 Passage 2 （24-25高二上·河南濮阳·期中） In 1925, a deadly epidemic (流行病) struck the small town of Nome, Alaska. The total population of the town was only around 1,400 — seven of whom were dead and 19 of whom were sick. To make matters worse, the nearest source of a cure was hundreds of miles away, across the dangerous Alaskan wilderness. Then, a Siberian husky (a kind of dog) named Balto saved the day. Balto was just one of 150 sled (雪橇) dogs used to deliver medicine to the town through whiteout snow and dangerous ice. And although Balto had never stood out from the rest of the pack (狗群) before, he proved to be surprisingly skillful and tough in the last leg of the journey. Now known as the Nome Serum (血清) Run of 1925, the race began on January 27, 1925, when 300,000 doses of antitoxin (抗毒素) arrived in Nenana by train from Anchorage. The medicine was placed inside a metallic container, and then taken out into the Alaskan wilds by the first sled driver, “Wild Bill” Shannon, who arrived at the first handoff site with injuries caused by the extreme coldness and two of his dogs lost. Eventually, the medicine made its way to Leonhard Seppala, who set out confidently with his 12-year-old sled dog, Togo, leading the pack. Togo led Seppala’ s pack until they reached the next sled driver, Charlie Olson, who then passed it down to Gunnar Kaasen. But Togo no longer led the pack. Instead, Kaasen completed the last leg of the journey with Balto as his frontrunner. Although Kaasen couldn’t even see in the whiteout conditions, and temperatures dropped to around 40 degrees Fahrenheit, Balto pressed on, successfully leading the pack to Nome, with the serum, on February 2. Finally able to rest for the first time since the journey began , Kaasen looked to Balto and said, “What a fine dog!” And with that, Balto became a national hero who remains beloved nearly a century later. 41. What’s the function of paragraph 1? A. To provide background information. B. To inspire the readers’ imagination. C. To introduce a terrible disease. D. To support an argument. 42. What can be learned about the Nome Serum Run of 1925? A. Its exact starting point was in Nome. B. It suffered the loss of a sled driver. C. Its aim was to save the 19 sick people. D. It was completed through teamwork. 43. What did Togo do during the journey? A. He saved the serum from being broken. B. He protected other dogs on the way. C. He served as the guide of Kaasen. D. He led the group for some time. 44. What may be a suitable title for the text? A. The Qualities of a Great Sled Dog B. The Origins of the Alaskan Husky C. Balto — The Hero of the Nome Serum Run D. Nome — The Town That Survived an Epidemic 【答案】41. A 42. D 43. D 44.

The total population of the town was only around 1,400 — seven of whom were dead and 19 of whom were sick. To make matters worse, the nearest source of a cure was hundreds of miles away, across the dangerous Alaskan wilderness.(1925年，一场致命的流行病袭击了阿拉斯加州的小镇诺姆。该镇的总人口只有1400人左右，其中7人死亡，19人患病。更糟糕的是，最近的药品来源在数百英里之外，穿过危险的阿拉斯加荒野)”和第二段中“Then, a Siberian husky (a kind of dog) named Balto saved the day. Balto was just one of 150 sled (雪橇) dogs used to deliver medicine to the town through whiteout snow and dangerous ice.(然后，一只名叫巴尔托的西伯利亚哈士奇(一种狗)挽救了局面。巴尔托只是150只雪橇犬中的一只，它们被用来穿过白雪皑皑的雪地和危险的冰面向小镇运送药品)”可推知，第一段主要介绍了1925年阿拉斯加州诺姆镇爆发流行病的背景情况，包括死亡和患病人数以及药品来源的遥远和危险，为第二段中介绍“名叫巴尔托的西伯利亚哈士奇的英勇事迹”提供了背景信息。故选A项。 42.推理判断题。根据第三段中“The medicine was placed inside a metallic container, and then taken out into the Alaskan wilds by the first sled driver, ‘Wild Bill’ Shannon, who arrived at the first handoff site with injuries caused by the extreme coldness and two of his dogs lost. Eventually, the medicine made its way to Leonhard Seppala, who set out confidently with his 12-year-old sled dog, Togo, leading the pack.(药品被放在一个金属容器里，然后由第一位雪橇司机‘Wild Bill’Shannon带出阿拉斯加荒野，他在第一个交接点因极度寒冷而受伤，并且失去了两只狗。最终，药品被送到了Leonhard Seppala手中，他满怀信心地带着他12岁的雪橇狗Togo，领着狗群出发了)”和第四段中“Togo led Seppala’ s pack until they reached the next sled driver, Charlie Olson, who then passed it down to Gunnar Kaasen.(Togo领着Seppala的狗群，直到他们到达下一个雪橇司机Charlie Olson那里，然后Charlie Olson把它交给了Gunnar Kaasen)”可知，在运送药品的过程中，多位雪橇司机和他们的狗接力完成了任务，体现了团队合作。因此，1925年诺姆血清运送是通过团队合作完成的。故选D项。 43.细节理解题。根据第四段“Togo led Seppala’ s pack until they reached the next sled driver, Charlie Olson (Togo领着Seppala的狗群，直到他们到达下一个雪橇司机Charlie Olson那里)”可知，Togo在旅程中领着Seppala的狗群走了一段路。故选D项。 44.主旨大意题。通读全文，特别是根据第二段中“Then, a Siberian husky (a kind of dog) named Balto saved the day.(然后，一只名叫巴尔托的西伯利亚雪橇犬(一种狗)挽救了局面)”和最后一段中“And with that, Balto became a national hero who remains beloved nearly a century later.(就这样，巴尔托成为了一个国家英雄，近一个世纪后仍然深受人们爱戴)”可知，文章主要讲述了一只名叫巴尔托的雪橇狗在1925年诺姆血清运送中发挥关键作用，最终成为国家英雄的故事。因此，C项“Balto — The Hero of the Nome Serum Run(巴尔托——诺姆血清运送的英雄)”最适合作为文章标题。故选C项。 Passage 3 （24-25高二上·河南南阳·期中） A six-year-old longing to keep a unicorn (独角兽) in her backyard figured she’d get the hard part out of the way first. Last November, Madeline wrote a letter to the Los Angeles County Department of Animal Care and Control with a straightforward request. “Dear LA County, I would like your approval if I can have a unicorn in my backyard if I can find one. Please send me a letter in response.” Director Mayeda replied two weeks later. The department does in fact license unicorns, she said, under certain conditions. Those include polishing the unicorn’s horn (角) at least once a month with a soft cloth, feeding it watermelon at least once a week, covering it with only sparkles and giving it regular access to sunlight, moonbeams and rainbows. And, because unicorns are indeed very rare to find, the department is also giving Madeline a toy unicorn to keep her company during her search, as a token of appreciation. “It is always rewarding to hear from young people who thoughtfully consider the requirements of providing a loving home for animals, ” Mayeda wrote in the letter. “I like your sense of responsible pet ownership to seek permission in advance to keep a unicorn in Los Angeles County. ” Mayeda told the Washington Post that was the first time the department had received a request for a license for a unicorn or any mythical creature. They were impressed with the first-grader for wanting to ask permission in the first place, and doing her research to work out how to go about that. She and her colleagues deal with a lot of “life-and-death” issues on the job, whether that’s seeing cases of animal abuse or animals hurting people or making decisions about having to put down dangerous or sick animals. So Madeline’s letter has considerably brightened their spirits, and she is due to visit the department this week to discuss her unicorn license application. Safe to say, she’s in for a magical surprise. 45. Why did Madeline write the letter? A. To apply to visit a unicorn. B. To ask permission to keep a pet. C. To learn to provide animal care. D. To figure out how to find a unicorn. 46. What can we learn from paragraph 3? A. Her application was disapproved. B. She was presented with a live unicorn. C. Requirements should be met for the license. D. Guidance was given for her search. 47. Which of the following best describes Mayeda? A. Imaginative B. painstaking C. Indifferent D. Understanding 48. Why does the department think the letter “has brightened their spirits”? A. Because they are touched with the girl’s deeds. B. Because animal protection is a life-and-death issue. C. Because they are worn out with their daily work. D. Because it is the first application letter for a pet. 【答案】45. B 46. C 47. D 48. A 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇记叙文。文章讲述了六岁女孩Madeline提前申请想要在家里的后院养一只独角兽，指挥部门的Mayeda说这是该部门第一次收到关于独角兽或任何神话生物的许可申请，这大大鼓舞了他们的精神。 45.细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Last November, Madeline wrote a letter to the Los Angeles County Department of Animal Care and Control with a straightforward request. “Dear LA County, I would like your approval if I can have a unicorn in my backyard if I can find one.

The department does in fact license unicorns, she said, under certain conditions. Those include polishing the unicorn’s horn (角) at least once a month with a soft cloth, feeding it watermelon at least once a week, covering it with only sparkles and giving it regular access to sunlight, moonbeams and rainbows.(两周后Mayeda局长回复了。她说，事实上，在某些条件下，该部门确实为饲养独角兽颁发了许可证。这些措施包括每月至少用一块软布擦亮独角兽的角一次，每周至少给它喂一次西瓜，只在它身上涂上闪闪发光的东西，并让它定期接触阳光、月光和彩虹)”可知，想要养独角兽需要获得许可证的条件。故选C。 47.推理判断题。根据文章第三段“And, because unicorns are indeed very rare to find, the department is also giving Madeline a toy unicorn to keep her company during her search, as a token of appreciation.(而且，因为独角兽确实是非常罕见的，部门也给了马德琳一个玩具独角兽，在她的搜索过程中陪伴她，作为感谢的表示)”及倒数第二段“I like your sense of responsible pet ownership to seek permission in advance to keep a unicorn in Los Angeles County.”(我喜欢你这种负责任的宠物主人意识，提前申请在洛杉矶县养一只独角兽)”可知，Mayeda认为马德琳会提前申请想要养一只独角兽，这是值得赞许的，因此，她所在的部门也给了马德琳一个玩具独角兽作为陪伴。由此推知，Mayeda是一个善解人意的人。故选D。 48.推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“They were impressed with the first-grader for wanting to ask permission in the first place, and doing her research to work out how to go about that.(他们对这个一年级的学生印象深刻，因为她一开始就想要获得许可，并做了研究，想知道如何去做)”及“So Madeline’s letter has considerably brightened their spirits, and she is due to visit the department this week to discuss her unicorn license application.(所以马德琳的信大大鼓舞了他们的精神，她这周要去局里讨论她的独角兽执照申请)”可推知，部门认为这封信“振奋了他们的精神”是因为他们被女孩真诚的行为打动了。故选A。 主题01 人与社会 Passage 1 （24-25高二上·河南长葛·期中） When I was in the fifth grade, my teachers first discovered that I could not even read the first grade books. They didn’t think this kind of problem could happen to me since my father was a famous scientist. My parents sent me to experts, trying to find out what the problem was. My IQ was high, but I had severe problems in learning. They discovered that I was dyslexic (诵读困难的). I was lucky that my parents cared enough to find a way out for me. When my parents went to Ford Country Day School and sat down with Brent, a teacher in the school, he agreed to help without thinking twice. My family was not rich and I was allowed to go to school free of charge because my mother drove some students to school in the morning in her car. I do know, however, without Brent reaching out to my family, my life would have taken a turn for the worst. Brent and my parents decided to have me retake the fifth grade in the next school year. I was afraid of going to school with my difficulties in learning, but Brent’s kind and loving support helped me slowly learn to grow and overcome my learning disability. Ford Country Day School has become the most important turning point in my life. The foundation that Brent gave me has in many ways set my direction in life. I went to Japan to live with my brother for one year right out of Ford Country Day School. I was in an international school in Tokyo. If I had not had the experience in Ford Country Day School, I would not have been able to survive in Japan.

It was a time when women’s education was not considered important in the United States. The States did require each town to provide a school for children, but there were not enough teachers. Most young women were not able to continue their education. If they did, they often were not taught much except French, how to sew (缝) clothing, and music. Mary Lyon felt that women’s education was extremely important. She believed women were teachers both in the home and in the classroom. Mary opened a school for young women in Buckland. She suggested new ways of teaching, including holding discussion groups for students. Then, Mary began to raise money for her dream school for the higher education of women. This school would own its own property. Its finances would be the responsibility of the directors. It would not depend on any person to continue. And, the students would share in cleaning and cooking to keep costs down. In 1837, Mary Lyo n founded Mount Holyoke Female Seminary. In 1893, 44 years after her death, under a state law, Mount Holyoke Female Seminary became the first college to offer women the same kind of education as men. Mary’s efforts led to the spread of higher education for women in the United States. Her influence lasted as many students from her schools went out to teach others. 53. What’s the problem with women’s education in the 19th century? A. They weren’t supported by their family. B. They had no right to have education. C. They had little chance to be teachers. D.

The junk dealer’s son Andrea Lo Russo said that his first inkling of the painting’s origin came when he saw a Picasso in a middle school textbook, but neither his teacher nor his father was persuaded. His curiosity continued, and in his early 20s, Lo Russo drove to Paris and brought the painting to the Picasso Museum. “They looked, and they said, ‘It is not possible,’” Lo Russo recalled. He turned down their invitation to leave the painting for further examination, not wanting to give it up. After decades of trying to determine the painting’s origin, Lo Russo believed that a recent battery of tests carried out by the Swiss-based Arcadia Foundation finally offered proof that it’s the work of Picasso. “We include lab tests that show the paints used are consistent with Picasso’s color palette during the period,” said Luca Marcante, a trained chemist who founded the Arcadia Foundation in 2000 to investigate the origin of artworks. “Most recently, a handwriting expert authenticated (证实) the signature on the upper left-hand corner as that of Picasso.” The only group that can authenticate the painting is the Picasso Administration in Paris. It hasn’t responded to a series of requests over the years. Marcante said that he was preparing to share the most recent findings with them. “The only real one is Lo Russo’s because we have examined it in a scientific manner. We are completely sure about our work, and about the results science has given us,” Marcante said. “We can touch this painting with our hands. It is real. It is authentic.” 57. What does the underlined word “inkling” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Thought. B. Decision. C. Lesson. D. Report. 58. Why did Lo Russo drive to the Picasso Museum? A. To do some tests on his own. B. To pick up his father working there. C. To seek confirmation on a painting. D. To enjoy Picasso’s paintings. 59. What can be learned from Marcante’s words in the last paragraph? A. He avoided touching the painting. B. He was confident of his judgement. C. He was a famous handwriting expert. D. He worked for the Picasso Administration. 60. Which word can best describe Lo Russo? A. Kind-hearted. B. Open-minded. C. Generous. D. Determined. 【答案】57. A 58. C 59. B 60. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了Andrea Lo Russo认为其父于20世纪60年代在垃圾场发现的画作可能是出自毕加索之手，并一直寻求鉴定。 57.词句猜测题。根据划线词所在句中“his first inkling of the painting’s origin came when he saw a Picasso in a middle school textbookwhen he saw a Picasso in a middle school textbook, but neither his teacher nor his father was persuaded (当他在中学课本上看到毕加索的画时，首次对这幅画的来源有了inkling，但他的老师和父亲都没有被说服)”和下一段首句“His curiosity continued, and in his early 20s, Lo Russo drove to Paris and brought the painting to the Picasso Museum. (他的好奇心一直在继续，在他20岁出头的时候，Lo Russo开车去了巴黎，把这幅画带到了毕加索博物馆)”可推知，Lo Russo应该在中学课本上看到毕加索的画时，对这幅画的来源产生了模糊的想法，认为它是毕加索的画，想去验证真假。划线词inkling意思应该与Thought“想法”一致。故选A项。 58.细节理解题。根据第三段中“His curiosity continued, and in his early 20s, Lo Russo drove to Paris and brought the painting to the Picasso Museum. (他的好奇心一直在继续，在他20岁出头的时候，Lo Russo开车去了巴黎，把这幅画带到了毕加索博物馆)”和第四段中“After decades of trying to determine the painting’s origin, Lo Russo believed that a recent battery of tests carried out by the Swiss-based Arcadia Foundation finally offered proof that it’s the work of Picasso. (在试图确定这幅画的来源数十年后，Lo Russo认为，瑞士的Arcadia基金会最近进行的一系列测试最终证明这是毕加索的作品)”可知，Lo Russo开车去毕加索博物馆是为了求对一幅画进行确认。故选C项。 59.推理判断题。根据最后一段中““The only real one is Lo Russo’s because we have examined it in a scientific manner. We are completely sure about our work, and about the results science has given us,” Marcante said. “We can touch this painting with our hands. It is real. It is authentic.”(‘唯一真实的是卢索的，因为我们已经用科学的方法检验过了。我们完全相信我们的工作，以及科学给我们的结果’Marcante说：‘我们可以用手触摸这幅画。它是真实的。它是真实的。’”)可推知，Marcante对他的判断很有信心。故选B项。 60.推理判断题。根据第三段中“His curiosity continued, and in his early 20s, Lo Russo drove to Paris and brought the painting to the Picasso Museum... He turned down their invitation to leave the painting for further examination, not wanting to give it up. (他的好奇心一直在继续，在他20岁出头的时候，卢索开车去了巴黎，把这幅画带到了毕加索博物馆……他拒绝了他们让他把这幅画留给进一步研究的邀请，不想放弃它)”和第四段中“After decades of trying to determine the painting’s origin, Lo Russo believed that a recent battery of tests carried out by the Swiss-based Arcadia Foundation finally offered proof that it’s the work of Picasso. (在试图确定这幅画的来源数十年后，Lo Russo认为，瑞士的Arcadia基金会最近进行的一系列测试最终证明这是毕加索的作品)”可知，虽然遇到挫折，但Lo Russo一直没有放弃验证这幅画的真假，并坚信这幅画是毕加索的作品。由此可知，他是一个坚定的人。故选D项。 主题02 人与自我 Passage 1 （24-25高二上·河南洛阳·期中） Growing up as a kid in the UK, I was fascinated by insects. Wanting to protect them, I started building little houses for ants, using little pieces of wood and leaves. I then moved on to making little cups and saucers from silver foil (银箔) for the magical creatures that I thought lived at the bottom of the garden. When my mother saw my work, she told me that the smaller I made things, the bigger my name would become. As the years went by, my designs became more complicated. And I used many different materials, such as diamond fragments, eyelashes and even spider web threads. I sometimes work for 16 hours a day without breaks, and it takes me up to three months to finish a sculpture(雕塑). I have to hold my breath during the sculpting process. It isn’t actually an enjoyable process—I can only enjoy it once I’ve finished it. My sculptures have taken me to incredible places. In 2012, I met the queen, giving her a tiny crown on the head of a pin. In 2013, I received my first Guinness World Record for creating the smallest sculpture made by hand. It was a 24-carat gold motorbike that fitted inside a drilled out hair. In 2017, I beat my record with a sculpture of a human fetus (胎儿) that measured 0.078mm by 0.053mm. One time, a fly landed on a Cinderella carriage sculpture I was working on. The fly’s wings blew it away, and it was lost. I was heartbroken. Another time, I accidentally breathed in a tiny Alice from Alice in Wonderland. Alice is now in Wonderland forever. But it did give me the chance to make an even better one the second time around. I was diagnosed with autism (自闭症) as an adult. In school, my teachers had pointed me out as an example of failure; now, I see my autism as a gift. It’s pushed me to be the best I can be. I hold workshops in schools for children with mental diseases, sharing with them my life and work and helping them create their own small figures out of Blu-Taok. The tiny world has always been my happy place. I’ve tried to make bigger soulptures, but small is best for me. We need to appreciate the little things in life. Small things can also be great, too. 61.. Why did the author start making small sculptures? A. To become famous. B. To beat the record. C. To shelter insects. D. To meet the queen. 62. How long can the author work with one sculpture? A. Sixteen hours. B. About a year. C. About two weeks. D. Up to three months. 63. Which best explains the underlined sentence “Alice is now in Wonderland forever.” in paragraph 4? A. Alice gives me a chance to make a better one. B. The tiny Alice is lost and cannot be recovered. C. It takes diverse materials to finish the tiny Alice. D. The wonderland is so attractive that Alice won’t return. 64. What is a suitable title for the text? A. Small but powerful B. My fight with autism C. Have fun with sculpture D. The smaller, the better 【答案】61. C 62. D 63. B 64. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者从小对昆虫着迷，开始为它们建造小屋，后来逐渐发展成为制作微雕艺术品的经历。 61.细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Wanting to protect them, I started building little houses for ants, using little pieces of wood and leaves.( 为了保护它们，我开始用小块木头和树叶为蚂蚁建造小房子。)”可知，作者想要保护昆虫，所以开始为蚂蚁建造小屋，即制作小型雕塑。故选C。 62.细节理解题。根据文章第二段中“I sometimes work for 16 hours a day without breaks, and it takes me up to three months to finish a sculpture.(我有时一天工作16个小时，不间断地工作，完成一件雕塑需要3个月的时间。)”可知，作者有时会一天工作16个小时不间断，完成一个雕塑需要长达三个月的时间。故选D。 63.词句猜测题。根据文章第四段“Another time, I accidentally breathed in a tiny Alice from Alice in Wonderland.(还有一次，我不小心吸入了《爱丽丝梦游仙境》里的小爱丽丝。)”以及划线词后面的内容“But it did give me the chance to make an even better one the second time around.( 但它确实给了我第二次做一个更好的雕塑的机会。)”可知，作者不小心吸入了制作的爱丽丝雕塑，导致它丢失，无法找回，但是这确实给作者第二次做一个更好的爱丽丝雕塑的机会，因此说爱丽丝永远留在了仙境，即小爱丽丝雕塑丢失并且不能被恢复。故选B。 64.主旨大意题。通读全文，文章讲述了作者从小对昆虫感兴趣，进而开始制作小型雕塑，并通过不断的努力和创新，在微雕艺术领域取得了杰出的成就。同时，作者也通过分享自己的经历和作品，鼓励人们欣赏生活中的小事物，并认识到小事物也可以具有伟大的价值。因此，A选项“Small but powerful(小而有分量)”准确地概括了文章的主旨，符合标题。故选A。 Passage 2 （24-25高二上·河南商丘·期中） When I woke up after the operation, I received some unexpected and unpleasant news. My doctor told me that I had cancer. The dreaded “C” word! And worse yet, this type of cancer was known as “the silent killer”. “Was I going to live? What was going to happen next? Would I lose my hair?” Everything happened so quickly. Chemotherapy (化疗) began two weeks later. I learned that on days fourteen through seventeen of my chemotherapy treatments, my hair would start falling out soon. I was frightened and felt powerless, yet within me a sense of determination appeared. “How could I regain my balance?” On the 14th day, I took a deep breath and made up my mind to check into an oceanfront hotel. When my beautiful daughter and closest girlfriends showed up there with scissors, ready for a Head Shaving Party, I knew this was it. I always love a party, and this unique theme became my way forward, my step out of fear and loneliness. I was ready to face this new situation head-on, to change my state of mind and to love what lay ahead. Truthfully, I couldn’t bear to see their shocked looks when seeing me bald, so I made them part of creating my “new look”. We laughed and cried during the process. It was a memorable day. Standing before them, feeling the wind on my hairless head and seeing my reflection, I felt set free instead of weak. I felt inner beauty, strength and courage. I changed that day. I bared my head and my soul to them. I realized that none of us really knows what our future holds. All that is certain is now. So I mustn’t spend my time lost in my circumstances. I must spend it celebrating the love, friendship, beauty and joy that surround me. I chose to live fully each day, with or without hair. 65. What can we learn about the author when she heard the doctor’s “C” word? A. She was emotionally overwhelmed. B. Her desire to survive was awakened soon. C. She was not sure about her upcoming treatment. D. She decided to have chemotherapy without delay. 66. What did the author decide to do according to paragraph 3? A. Team up with others. B. Rise to the challenge. C. Seek comfort from friends. D. Live in a hotel at seaside. 67. How did the author feel when her Head Shaving Party ended? A. Hopeless. B. Shocked. C. Burdenless. D. Embarrassed. 68. What is the best title for the text? A. Life of the Party B. Be True to Yourself C. Go Where You Look D. Look Life in the Face 【答案】65. A 66. B 67. C 68. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了作者在得知自己患癌之后，通过与亲友举行剃头派对，从恐惧、脆弱中走出，积极面对生活的故事。 65.推理判断题。根据文章第一段中的“Was I going to live? What was going to happen next? Would I lose my hair?(我还能活吗？接下来会发生什么？我会掉头发吗？)可知，作者听到自己患癌时情感上不知所措。故选A。 66.细节理解题。根据第三段中的“I was ready to face this new situation head-on, to change my state of mind and to love what lay ahead.(我准备好直面这个新情况，改变我的心态，热爱未来)”可知，作者决定迎难而上、迎接挑战。故选B。 67.推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Standing before them, feeling the wind on my hairless head and seeing my reflection, I felt set free instead of weak. I felt inner beauty, strength and courage.(站在他们面前，感受着风吹在我无发的头上，看着我的倒影，我感到解放了，而不是虚弱。我感受到了内在的美丽、力量和勇气)”可知，作者在剃头派对结束时感到无拘无束。故选C。 68.主旨大意题。根据最后一段“I changed that day. I bared my head and my soul to them. I realized that none of us really knows what our future holds. All that is certain is now. So I mustn’t spend my time lost in my circumstances. I must spend it celebrating the love, friendship, beauty and joy that surround me. I chose to live fully each day, with or without hair.(那天我改变了。我向他们袒露我的头和我的灵魂。我意识到我们都不知道自己的未来会怎样。唯一确定的是现在。所以我不能把时间浪费在我的处境中。我必须用它来庆祝我周围的爱、友谊、美丽和快乐。不管有没有头发，我都选择充实地度过每一天)”可知，文章讲述了作者身患癌症，但却不逃避，标题应为“直面人生”。故选D。 Passage 3 （24-25高二上·河南许昌·期中） On a hot June day in 2015, I retired after 34 years of teaching high school. Then, I drove to meet my new piano teacher, Mark. I had worked for more than three decades as a busy English teacher with an endless stream of papers to mark and precious little time to experiment or learn new skills. I was determined to make up for all I had been missing. I wanted to finally master the piano and learn how to make music. I told Mark I had a specific concrete goal: to play Clair de lune by Claude Debussy, a piece I remember hearing from early childhood. Determined that there would be a day when I would totally master this piece, I set myself a deadline: I would perform before a gathering of friends on my 60th birthday. For months I did nothing but furiously (猛烈地) practise. When the day came, around 30 friends and relatives crowded into my dining room to hear me play, and aside from a few minor slips, I managed to pull it off without embarrassing myself. People clapped warmly. I made it. I had risen to a challenge, but I still didn’t feel that I was really “making music”. After that, my progress was painfully slow. I had come to hate hearing myself play music badly. I got no pleasure from the act of missing notes. I began focusing on what few things I could do: gardening and cycling. I came to understand that I didn’t have to be that man I’d always thought I ought to be. I could just do what feels good. So, after nearly five years of lessons, I quit. I still love music; I regularly go out to concerts. But now my piano does nothing more than sit silently in my dining room, displaying family photos and collecting dust. And I’m perfectly happy with that. 69. Why did the author learn the piano after retiring from teaching? A. To impress his friends and relatives. B. To avoid the boredom of retirement. C. To start a new career as a concert pianist. D. To pursue a long-time passion for music. 70. What can be inferred from paragraph 4? A. The author attended a concert of piano music. B. The author performed successfully despite a few errors. C. The author felt embarrassed about his piano performance. D. The author quit his piano immediately after his 60th birthday. 71. What does the author do with his piano now? A. He uses it for music lessons. B. He uses it for performance. C. He uses it for something unrelated to music. D. He plays it for personal enjoyment occasionally. 72. Which of the following can best describe the author? A. Inner- directed and hardworking. B. Conventional and careless. C. Ambitious and kind-hearted. D. Lazy and pessimistic. 【答案】69. D 70. B 71. C 72. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者从最初对钢琴技艺的执着追求，到随后的放下，最终在园艺和骑行中获得满足的故事。 69.细节理解题。根据第二段“I was determined to make up for all I had been missing. I wanted to finally master the piano and learn how to make music.(我决心弥补我所失去的一切。我想最终掌握钢琴，学习如何制作音乐)”可知，作者在退休后学习钢琴是为了追求对音乐的长期热爱。故选D。 70.推理判断题。根据第四段“Determined that there would be a day when I would totally master this piece, I set myself a deadline: I would perform before a gathering of friends on my 60th birthday. For months I did nothing but furiously (猛烈地) practise. When the day came, around 30 friends and relatives crowded into my dining room to hear me play, and aside from a few minor slips, I managed to pull it off without embarrassing myself. People clapped warmly. I made it. I had risen to a challenge, but I still didn’t feel that I was really “making music”.(我下定决心，总有一天我能完全掌握这首曲子，于是给自己定了一个最后期限：在我60岁生日那天，我要在一群朋友的聚会上表演。几个月来，我除了拼命练习什么也没做。那天，大约有30个亲戚朋友挤在我的餐厅里听我演奏，除了一些小失误外，我设法做到了，没有让自己尴尬。人们热烈鼓掌。我做到了。我已经接受了挑战，但我仍然不觉得我真的在“做音乐”)”可知，尽管有一些小的失误，作者仍出色地完成了表演。故选B。 71.细节理解题。根据最后一段“But now my piano does nothing more than sit silently in my dining room, displaying family photos and collecting dust.(但现在，我的钢琴除了静静地坐在我的餐厅里，展示家庭照片和收集灰尘之外，什么也不做)”可知，作者的钢琴现在被放在餐厅里，积满了灰尘。即作者用钢琴做了一些与音乐无关的事情。故选C。 72.推理判断题。根据第二段“I was determined to make up for all I had been missing. I wanted to finally master the piano and learn how to make music.(我决心弥补我所失去的一切。我想最终掌握钢琴，学习如何制作音乐)”以及第四段“For months I did nothing but furiously (猛烈地) practise.(几个月来，我除了拼命练习什么也没做)”可知，作者是一个有决心且努力奋进的人。故选A。 Passage 4 （24-25高二上·河南中牟·期中） Tom was pleased to get a role in the school play. It wasn’t a major role and he had only four or five lines. However, he worked hard at perfecting the lines, repeating them in front of a mirror over and over again, as his drama teacher had suggested. He had great fun rehearsing (排练) with the older students. Then finally the big night came. Suddenly, things felt different. The theater was full of audience. He looked around at those experienced actors and saw the confidence they’d shown at rehearsal seemed to have disappeared. Everyone was on edge. When Tom got on stage, he couldn’t help hurrying into the words he had repeated so many times before. He tried to slow down but, thinking about doing that, he suddenly realized he had missed a sentence. With no time to think it over, he carried on. When he stepped off the stage, his hands felt sweaty and his heart was racing. He didn’t think about what he had achieved. Instead, he was beating himself up for the mistake that he had made. The audience, of course, didn’t know he had missed a sentence. In fact, no one noticed it except his drama teacher. “Well done,” she said, “Acting is like learning to ride a bike. You may fall off a few times, yet each time you get back on, you do it better. Your performance may not have been perfect but, for your first time, it was great.” The drama teacher’s words put Tom’s mind at ease. He caught the look of his face in a mirror, which was smiling back at him. Without knowing it, he raised two hands with his thumbs (拇指) up. 73. What do you think of Tom before the big night? A. He was sorry about his limited lines. B. He expected a major role in the play. C. He was devoted to the coming play. D. He was sure about the play’s success. 74.

B. He had accepted his own imperfection. C. He respected his teacher very much. D. He admired his own face in the mirror. 76. What point does the author want to express in the text? A. Your mistakes can help you better yourself. B. There is no need to prepare carefully ahead. C. It’s no use regretting what you had mistaken. D. It is better to do once than to practice ten times. 【答案】73. C 74. D 75. B 76.

He had great fun rehearsing (排练) with the older students. Then finally the big night came.(然而，他努力完善台词，按照戏剧老师的建议，在镜子前一遍又一遍地重复。他和高年级学生一起排练，很开心。最后，重要的夜晚来了)”可知，重要的夜晚到来之前，汤姆全身心投入即将到来的戏剧表演，努力练习台词。故选C项。 74.细节理解题。根据第二段中“When he stepped off the stage, his hands felt sweaty and his heart was racing. He didn’t think about what he had achieved. Instead, he was beating himself up for the mistake that he had made.(当他走下舞台时，他的手汗流浃背，心跳加速。他没有想到自己取得了什么成就。相反，他为自己犯的错误而自责)”可知，汤姆表演结束后感到后悔，为自己犯的错误而自责。故选D项。 75.推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“‘Well done,’ she said, ‘Acting is like learning to ride a bike. You may fall off a few times, yet each time you get back on, you do it better.

He caught the look of his face in a mirror, which was smiling back at him. Without knowing it, he raised two hands with his thumbs (拇指) up.(戏剧老师的话让汤姆放下心来。他在镜子里看到了自己的脸，那张脸正对着他笑。不知不觉地，他举起双手，竖起大拇指)”可推知，戏剧老师的鼓励让汤姆感到轻松，他看到镜子里的自己在笑，于是不知不觉地举起了双手，竖起了大拇指，这表明他接受了自己的不完美，对自己的表演感到满意。故选B项。 76.推理判断题。通读全文，特别是倒数第二段中老师的鼓励“‘Well done,’ she said, ‘Acting is like learning to ride a bike. You may fall off a few times, yet each time you get back on, you do it better. Your performance may not have been perfect but, for your first time, it was great.’(‘干得好，’她说，‘表演就像学习骑自行车。你可能会摔几次，但每次你重新骑上去，你都会骑得更好。你的表演可能并不完美，但对你来说，这是第一次，已经很好了’)”可知，作者通过讲述汤姆第一次参加学校戏剧表演的经历，表达了“错误可以帮助你提高自己”这一观点。故选A项。 主题03 人与自然 Passage 1 （24-25高二上·河南遂平·期中） When four young children were found after 40 days in the Colombian Amazon forest, the rescuers noticed that the oldest, 13-year-old Lesly Mucutuy, had some seeds hidden between her teeth. The seeds were from a native Amazon palm tree known as “milpesos” in Colombia. Its fruits are rich in fat and Amazon tribes use them to make a vegetable oil. “She was keeping them so that the warmth of her mouth would open up the seeds and she could feed the pulp (果肉) to her younger sisters and brothers,” said Eliecer Muñoz, one of the four guards who made the very first contact with the children. “That’s how they stayed alive.” Survival experts have been trying to answer this question: How did the four children—the youngest just a baby—survive in the heart of the Amazon rainforest for so long? The stretch of the jungle they were found in is one of the most remote and difficult to reach in Colombia, where wild animals and poisonous insects are plentiful, rains can pour for over 15 hours a day and visibility is sometimes limited to 10 meters due to the thick vegetation. In more than a month without adults, they appear to have survived on wild fruits and three pounds of cassava flour, a high-protein traditional food of the Amazon diet, which they got from the wreckage (残骸) of the plane. When found, the children had bottles they used to collect water, either from streams or from the rain. While their survival remains a marvel, it was no doubt facilitated by traditional knowledge of the forest they acquired from a remarkably young age. Lesly, in particular, is praised for not only staying alive herself, but also making sure her younger sisters and brothers would survive following the loss of their mother in the plane crash. Nelly Kuiru, an activist, believes that her courage goes far beyond botanical skills: “Ancestral, traditional knowledge is more than that Lesly learnt to pick fruits, but there’s something much deeper there, a spiritual connection with the forest surrounding us.” 77. Eliecer Muñoz viewed Lesly’s keeping seeds in her mouth as____________. A. a survival skill B. a rescue technique C. an eating habit D. a unique culture 78. What does the third paragraph mainly talk about? A. The exact cause of the plane crash. B. The detailed search and rescue operations. C. The food the children depended on to stay alive. D. The difficulty of surviving in the Amazon rainforest. 79. Which words can best describe Lesly? A. Talented and experienced. B. Intelligent and responsible. C. Honest and knowledgeable. D. Creative and open-minded. 80. What does Nelly Kuiru mainly want to show in the last paragraph? A. Botanical skills are more important than courage. B. Lesly learned to find food in the forest from her ancestors. C. Lesly is connected with her living environment spiritually. D. Picking fruits is the basic knowledge to survive in the forest. 【答案】77. A 78. C 79. B 80. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了四个孩子在哥伦比亚的亚马逊森林中生存了40天的事情，其中，最大的孩子Lesly不仅保护自己，还确保她的弟弟妹妹们能够生存下去。 77.细节理解题。根据文章第二段“The seeds were from a native Amazon palm tree known as “milpesos” in Colombia. Its fruits are rich in fat and Amazon tribes use them to make a vegetable oil. “She was keeping them so that the warmth of her mouth would open up the seeds and she could feed the pulp(果肉)to her younger sisters and brothers,” said Eliecer Muñoz, one of the four guards who made the very first contact with the children. “That’s how they stayed alive.”(这些种子来自一种当地亚马逊棕榈树，在哥伦比亚被称为“milpesos”。它的果实富含脂肪，亚马逊部落用它们来制作植物油。“她一直养着它们，这样她嘴里的温暖就能把种子打开，把果肉喂给她的弟弟妹妹们，”Eliecer Muñoz说，他是最早接触这些孩子的四名警卫之一。“他们就是这样活下来的。”)”可知，Eliecer Muñoz认为Lesly嘴里含着种子的行为是一种生存技能。故选A。 78.主旨大意题。根据文章第三段“Survival experts have been trying to answer this question: How did the four children—the youngest just a baby—survive in the heart of the Amazon rainforest for so long?(生存专家一直在试图回答这个问题：这四个孩子——最小的只是个婴儿——是如何在亚马逊雨林的中心生存这么久的？)”以及“In more than a month without adults, they appear to have survived on wild fruits and three pounds of cassava flour, a high-protein traditional food of the Amazon diet, which they got from the wreckage (残骸) of the plane. When found, the children had bottles they used to collect water, either from streams or from the rain.(在没有成年人的一个多月里，他们似乎靠野果和3磅木薯粉(一种亚马逊地区的高蛋白传统食物)存活了下来，木薯粉是它们从飞机残骸中获取的。当被发现时，孩子们拿着瓶子，他们用来从小溪或雨水中取水。)”可知，第三段主要讲述的是孩子们依靠什么食物生存下来的。故选C。 79.推理判断题。根据文章第二段““She was keeping them so that the warmth of her mouth would open up the seeds and she could feed the pulp(果肉)to her younger sisters and brothers,” said Eliecer Muñoz, one of the four guards who made the very first contact with the children. “That’s how they stayed alive.”(“她一直养着它们，这样她嘴里的温暖就能把种子打开，把果肉喂给她的弟弟妹妹们，”Eliecer Muñoz说，他是最早接触这些孩子的四名警卫之一。“他们就是这样活下来的。”)”可知，Lesly非常聪明；再根据第四段“Lesly, in particular, is praised for not only staying alive herself, but also making sure her younger sisters and brothers would survive following the loss of their mother in the plane crash.(尤其是Lesly，她不仅自己活了下来，而且在母亲在飞机失事中丧生后，她还确保了她的弟弟妹妹们都能活下来，这一点受到了称赞。)”可知，Lesly非常负责任，母亲丧生后，她不仅自己活了下来，还确保了弟弟妹妹活了下来。故选B。 80.推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Nelly Kuiru, an activist, believes that her courage goes far beyond botanical skills: “Ancestral, traditional knowledge is more than that Lesly learnt to pick fruits, but there’s something much deeper there, a spiritual connection with the forest surrounding us.”(活动人士Nelly Kuiru认为，她的勇气远远超出了植物学技能：“祖传的传统知识不仅仅是Lesly学会摘水果，还有更深层次的东西，那就是与我们周围的森林有一种精神联系。”)”可知，Nelly Kuiru认为Lesly的生存不仅体现在植物学技能上，更体现在她与周围环境的深层精神联系上。故选C。 Passage 2 （24-25高二上·河南焦作·期中） Imagine you’re walking through a forest, and the path turns into two different routes. How do you pick which route to walk, and how do you feel about the one you don’t choose? These are key themes in Robert Frost’s famous 1915 poem, The Road Not Taken. Frost was born in San Francisco in 1874, and is remembered as one of the greatest American poets. His poems explore things like morality and self-discovery, as well as nature and rural life. However, The Road Not Taken was actually written as a joke about another poet, Edward Thomas. Frost lived for a period in England, where he became friends with Thomas. The two would take long walks in the countryside together, and Thomas often had trouble choosing which way to go. When Frost read the poem to a group of college students, they took it seriously, unaware of its playful origins. Of course, Frost did say to them, “I’m never more serious than when joking.” The poet’s choices can act as an extended metaphor (隐喻) for the choices we all have to make in life. In the poem, the poet talks about regretting that they can’t take both paths - just as choosing one path in life often means other options become impossible. In the end, the poet chooses the road that looks “less traveled by”, which many readers take as making the poem contain more about individualism too - doing things your own way, not as everyone else does. The poem became more serious thanks to World War I. Frost left England to avoid the war, but Thomas couldn’t decide whether to stay and fight or to follow Frost to America. In 1915, Frost sent the poem to Thomas. And while it wasn’t the only reason Thomas finally decided to fight in the war, he felt it was making fun of his indecision. 81. What inspired Frost to write the poem The Road Not Taken? A. The countryside life. B. One of his friends. C. His difficulty in making choices. D. His eagerness for self-discovery. 82. What did Frost’s words “I’m never more serious than when joking” suggest? A. The poem contained some hidden meanings. B. The poem was not meant to be taken seriously. C. He did not regard his own writing as important. D. He put lots of efforts into the creation of the poem. 83. How do many readers interpret the poet’s choice of the road? A.

A 84. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了 Frost 创作的 The Road Not Taken这首诗以及其背后的故事。 81.细节理解题。根据第二段“However, The Road Not Taken was actually written as a joke about another poet, Edward Thomas. Frost lived for a period in England, where he became friends with Thomas. The two would take long walks in the countryside together, and Thomas often had trouble choosing which way to go. (然而，《未选之路》实际上是一个关于另一位诗人爱德华·托马斯的笑话。弗罗斯特在英国住过一段时间，在那里他和托马斯成了朋友。两人经常一起在乡间散步，托马斯常常不知道该走哪条路。)”可知，Frost 最初创作这首诗是受到一个朋友的启发。故选B。 82.推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“The poet’s choices can act as an extended metaphor (隐喻) for the choices we all have to make in life. In the poem, the poet talks about regretting that they can’t take both paths - just as choosing one path in life often means other options become impossible. In the end, the poet chooses the road that looks “less traveled by”, which many readers take as making the poem contain more about individualism too - doing things your own way, not as everyone else does. (诗人的选择可以作为我们在生活中必须做出的选择的延伸隐喻。在这首诗中，诗人谈到了他们不能两条路都走的遗憾——就像在生活中选择一条路往往意味着其他选择变得不可能一样。最后，诗人选择了一条看起来“人迹罕至”的道路，许多读者认为这使得这首诗也包含了更多的个人主义——以自己的方式做事，而不是像其他人那样。)”可知，这首诗并不仅仅是为了取笑朋友而作，相反，它蕴含着深刻的人生哲理，可知， Frost对学生说这样的话，暗示着这首诗有深刻的内涵。故选A。 83.细节理解题。根据第四段“In the end, the poet chooses the road that looks “less traveled by”, which many readers take as making the poem contain more about individualism too - doing things your own way, not as everyone else does. (最后，诗人选择了一条看起来“人迹罕至”的道路，许多读者认为这使得这首诗也包含了更多的个人主义——以自己的方式做事，而不是像其他人那样。)”可知，许多读者认为诗人对道路的选择是一种个人主义的表达。故选A。 84.推理判断题。根据最后一段“The poem became more serious thanks to World War I. Frost left England to avoid the war, but Thomas couldn’t decide whether to stay and fight or to follow Frost to America. In 1915, Frost sent the poem to Thomas. And while it wasn’t the only reason Thomas finally decided to fight in the war, he felt it was making fun of his indecision. (由于第一次世界大战，这首诗变得更加严肃。弗罗斯特为了躲避战争离开了英国，但托马斯无法决定是留下来战斗还是跟随弗罗斯特去美国。1915年，弗罗斯特把这首诗寄给了托马斯。虽然这不是托马斯最终决定参战的唯一原因，但他觉得这是在取笑他的优柔寡断。)”以及本文主要介绍 The Road Not Taken这首诗的创作背景及其深层内涵，通过介绍告诉读者，即使是出于玩笑或轻松创作的作品，也可能因为读者的解读和时代的变迁而变得具有深远的意义。即故事告诉我们即使是最有趣的创作也能成为有意义的东西。故选D。 Passage 3 （24-25高二上·河大附中·期中） It was 1963 in the Toronto suburb. I was eight years old and hockey (冰球) -crazy. My next-to-zero skills had not stopped my passion for the game. The players of the great hockey club Toronto Maple Leafs were of course my heroes, and their posters and photos covered the walls of my room. There is always some price to pay for maintaining a love. I raised funds in an old-fashioned way, selling something the public could actually sink their teeth into. I joined the local annual event — Margaret’s Doughnuts (甜甜圈) to sell doughnuts, which offered choices of honey-glazed or chocolate-glazed. Door-to-door I went, notebook in hand to record. I sold dozens of dozens; hardly a soul turned me down. My notebook was almost full, and my stomach was almost empty when I went up the last house on the south side. I rang the doorbell and went over my speech while staring at the screen door. Suddenly, the door opened. My unforgettable memory was looking up from a large pair of fuzzy slippers, way up, to the face staring down. I stood there speechless for what seemed 10 years, opening and closing my mouth like a fish out of water. Collecting my calmness, but still unable to go into doughnut-promoting overdrive, I told him something he seemed have already known and he replied with a nod and a smile. I have an unclear memory of murmuring through my speech “Please-buy-some-doughnuts”, and then a vivid memory of him taking the notebook from my hand. I followed with new information — that we shared our given name. With pride from our first-name-basis farewells, I flew home holding the notebook tightly to my chest. The next morning before the school bell, I cautiously showed off the precious paper. It is surely mine alone to claim: I sold a dozen doughnuts to Tim Horton, one of my most respected players who lived a mere three blocks away! 85. What can we know about the author? A. He obtained posters and photos from a star team. B. He joined Toronto Maple Leafs as a young child. C. He was not much of an experienced hockey player. D. His love for hockey was influenced by a star team. 86. Why did the author sell doughnuts? A. To follow the fashion. B. To respond to an event. C. To taste more flavors. D. To pursue his hobby. 87. What happened to the author when he met the owner of the last house? A. He was so speechless with astonishment. B. He was looked down upon by the owner. C. He was scared by the owner’s appearance. D. He forgot his speech for selling doughnuts. 88. Which is the most suitable title for the text? A. A Successful Sale Promotion Of Doughnuts B. An Amazing Journey To Following My Dream C. A Grateful Doughnut Helping Awaken My Dream D. An Unexpected Meeting With My Favorite Hockey 【答案】85. C 86. D 87. A 88. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是记叙文。主要讲述了年少时候的作者为了追求冰球梦，通过卖甜甜圈来筹钱。在此过程中，作者碰巧把甜甜圈卖给了自己的冰球偶像。 85.细节理解题。根据第一段“My next-to-zero skills had not stopped my passion for the game. (虽然我的技能几乎为零，但这并没有阻止我对游戏的热情。)”可知，作者虽然喜爱玩冰球，但并不擅长。故选C。 86.细节理解题。根据第二段“There is always some price to pay for maintaining a love. I raised funds in an old-fashioned way, selling something the public could actually sink their teeth into. (维持一项热爱的事总是要付出代价的。我用一种老式的方式筹集资金，出售一些公众真正会感兴趣的东西。)”可知，作者卖甜甜圈来追求他的爱好。故选D。 87.推理判断题。根据第四段“I stood there speechless for what seemed 10 years, opening and closing my mouth like a fish out of water.(我站在那里说不出话来，好像有10年的时间，嘴巴张了又闭，就像一条离开水的鱼。)”可推知，作者遇到最后一栋房子的主人时，太惊讶以至于说不出话。故选A。 88.主旨大意题。根据最后一段“It is surely mine alone to claim: I sold a dozen doughnuts to Tim Horton, one of my most respected players who lived a mere three blocks away! (这当然是我一个人说的：我卖了一打甜甜圈给蒂姆·霍顿，他是我最尊敬的球员之一，就住在三个街区之外！)”结合文章主要讲述了年少时候的作者为了追求冰球梦，通过卖甜甜圈来筹钱。在此过程中，作者碰巧把甜甜圈卖给了自己的冰球偶像。B选项“追寻梦想的奇妙旅程”最符合文章标题。故选B。 / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
