专题02 阅读理解 记叙文 主题01 人与自我——生活与学习 Passage 1 （24-25高二上·芜湖一中·期中） My day in the sun had arrived—my masterpiece would be revealed. l had just delivered a speech that I had labored over for weeks, and I was about to learn how the panel judged my performance. The contest-organizer announced the third-place winner. The name was not mine. Then he read the second-place winner, and once again it was not me. At last, the moment of truth came. I was about to either feel the warmth of victory or regret the last several weeks spent preparing. When the result came my heart sank. Losing is part of life, and I have dealt with the emotional baggage occasionally. However, it was an indescribably terrible feeling to drive 300 miles round trip, get up extremely early on a freezing Saturday morning and yet still finish fourth out of four competitors. I had spent many hours in libraries doing research for the Lincoln Bicentennial Speech Contest. As I read several biographies, one thought stood out. Lincoln was handed many sound defeats, but he never allowed them to affect his spirit or ambition. After not placing in the first year of the speech contest, I really wanted to compete again. Lincoln had been the symbol of persistence (坚持不懈), so I was not going to give up on n contest about a historic individual who did not give up! I reworked my speech for the following year, and though I did not come in last, again I did not win a place. Some days you’re the lucky dog, but some days you’re the hydrant, and this was definitely a hydrant day that let me down for a while. Though I did not earn money awards as a result of this contest, I did gain a new view. Through learning about Lincoln, I discovered that I could fail successfully. Now, whenever I’m faced with difficulties, I remember what Lincoln said after his unsuccessful Senate race—“The path was worn and slippery. My foot slipped from under me, knocking the other out of the way, but I recovered and said to myself, ‘It’s a slip and not a fall.’” 1．How did the author feel about the result of his first speech contest? A．Satisfied. B．Puzzled. C．Embarrassed. D．Disappointed. 2．What does the author mean by saying the underlined sentence in paragraph 4? A．Failure disappointed him at that time. B．Every dog has its day. C．He was definitely a loser all the time. D．Life is full of changes. 3．Why did the author mention Lincoln several times in the text? A．Lincoln suffered the pain of defeat. B．Lincoln’s persistence inspired him. C．Lincoln was a great president of the USA． D．Lincoln made famous comments on success. 4．What did the author learn from the second speech contest? A．The significance of success. B．The hard blow of difficulties. C．A new perspective on failure. D．The value of good preparations. Passage 2 （24-25高二上·安徽池州·期中） The first time my daughter, Maia, realized I was leaving on a trip without her, she was alarmed. Seeing photos of where I was going, she cried and asked why I was going to leave her behind. I tried to explain my work as a travel writer. But as my husband, Evan, pulled her off my leg so I could leave, I wondered if my solo trips would be worth the effort of going without her. A few days later, I returned home and Maia was happy to hear about my trip. She told me I could keep going on trips for work-but we’d compromise(妥协), she’d come with me. One year later, an invitation came to experience the Rocky Mountaineer on a parent-child journey, And as scary as it seemed to take a preschooler on a train, the trip sounded too good to pass up. Dressed in her most beautiful train-riding clothes, four-year-old Maia watched me take notes about the scenery as we chugged along the Fraser River in BC． Wanting to prove her worth as an assistant, she began interviewing the Australian couple sitting beside us. Unable to spell more than a few words, she drew their answers in crayon(蜡笔)。She ended up being such an easy travel companion and we found a special rhythm(节奏) on the road together. When she was six, we flew to the Riviera Maya in Mexico. I was impressed by how cheerfully fearless she was when we swam in cenotes(天然井). But it was on the flight home, when my little kid said it was okay that the airline didn’t seat us together, that I realized how much travel was shaping her. Research says that travel can expand a kid’s world, helping them become more adaptable while developing their creativity and imagination.

Passage 4 （24-25高二上·江淮名校·期中） In the town of Elmsworth, where the sun rose gently over the horizon each morning, lived a young woman named Sarah. Her days were filled with the familiar rhythm of her job at the local bookstore, but her heart yearned for something more. Sarah dreamed of running a marathon, a challenge that seemed as daunting as the open road that stretched beyond her small town. Sarah’s journey began with a single step. She started by running around the block, her legs heavy and her breath short. Each day, she pushed herself a little further, her determination growing with every mile. She trained through the hot summers and the cold winters, her dream of crossing the marathon finish line fueling her every step. Her friends and family watched her transformation with a mix of awe and concern. They had never seen Sarah so focused, so driven.

She dug deep, finding strength in her dream and the months of training that had brought her to this point. As she crossed the finish line, exhaustion and elation washed over her in equal measure. She had done it. She had run a marathon, a feat that had once seemed impossible.

He only says a few words and is in his own world most of the time. Yet, with medicine, routines, and a lot of love, support, acceptance, and understanding he has been able to live a happy life here. There is one problem, however, that he still has: he is hard on his clothes ripping (抽出) threads out of his trousers and tearing his shirts. This means that I spend a lot of time in stores looking for cheap clothes to replace them. The other day I was in one of these stores looking for a blue sweatshirt to replace one he had torn up. As I was walking down an aisle (过道) I heard “Come Back Here!” followed by a laughter. A little, three-year- old girl was running down the aisle laughing and making a break from her Mom. She ran right up to me and held open her arms to be picked up. I saw her Mom smile at us so I picked up the little kid and carried her back to her Mom's arms. Then I turned the corner and saw an elderly lady stretching up to reach a purse on a super high shelf. I asked if I could help and when she said “yes” I got on my tip toes to grab it for her. Finally, I reached the sweatshirts and found one that I knew would make my son laugh with delight when he saw it. As I walked toward the cashier I saw the older lady paying for her purse with a smile and behind her the little girl jumping up and down with joy, holding her Mom's hand and carrying an old doll her Mom had found for her.

The worried mum from Morecambe, Lancashire, left her car on a double yellow line outside the Lancaster hospital and raced inside with her daughter. When Sarah returned to her car, rather than finding a parking ticket, she surprisedly discovered a hand-written note, saying that they had “sweet talked” the traffic warden (交通管理员) into not giving her a ticket. “They didn’t have to do that-it made things a lot easier,” the grateful mum said. “I was fully expecting to come out of the hospital and to have a parking ticket, and I had come to terms with that.” The dramatic evening began on the evening of July 2 when Lacie split her head open on the hinge (铰链) of a door. Lacie ripped on the carpet and hit the hinge. When Sarah picked her up there was blood everywhere. It terrified Sarah, who quickly switched into action mode. There was no time to call for an ambulance so Sarah just put her in the car and got her there in 15 minutes. It was scary. When she arrived at the hospital Sarah ignored the warnings of ambulance staff about potential traffic wardens and raced inside. The note she found on her car when she returned made sure a difficult day was made just a little bit easier. It read: “Good afternoon, we noticed you left your car here as you rushed your child into A&E. (We tried to warn you about getting a ticket.) We spoke with the traffic warden and told him about your situation and managed to sweet talk him into letting you off under the circumstances.

Passage 3 （23-24高二上·宿州示范中学·期中） A year after Walt Disney made history with Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, its artists were struggling to find the right design for Bambi, the tale of a young deer. The film’s production team realized they needed a style that highlighted almost all of the leaves, flowers and mushrooms in their first feature-length animated(动画的)film. Soon they got their inspiration from Tyrus Wong, whose work was on display as a new exhibit at New York City’s Museum. In 1938, the Walt Disney Studio hired him to draw the frames between the main drawings of the animators. After reading the story of Bambi, he saw an opportunity to break out of his humdrum job. He said to himself “This is all outdoor scenery. And I’m a landscape painter. This will be great!” Inspired by Chinese landscape paintings, he used watercolor and pastels(蜡笔)to make sketches that bring the feeling of forest scenes with simple strokes of color and special attention to light and shadow. Wong’s sketches attracted Disney and became the guide for Bambi’s background artists, who were later trained to imitate his style. “His expression was a great leap forward for the medium,” writes John Lasseter, the chief creative officer for Walt Disney and Pixar Animation Studios. “Where other films were literal, Bambi was expressive and emotional.” In 2001,Wong was named “Disney Legend”, and he received the recognition as the true lead artist. He pursued art all his life and still made art during his retirement, including toy animals from recycled materials and handmade kites that he regularly flew off the Santa Monica Pier in California. “People admire his works because of Bambi, but Bambi was just a really small part of his life,” says his youngest daughter. “He considers himself not a great artist but a lucky artist, who was at the right place at the right time.” 1．Why did Walt Disney’s artists notice Tyrus Wong? A．He was good at drawing cartoon characters. B．He won a prize at a museum in New York. C．His style was suitable for the animated film Bambi. D．His work could be used to advertise Walt Disney’s films 2．What does John Lasseter think of Tyrus Wong’s paintings? A．They were literal and detailed. B．They conveyed thoughts effectively. C．They showed the legend of Walt Disney. D．They displayed the progress of the medium. 3．What can we learn about Tyrus Wong from the last paragraph? A．He was devoted to art during his lifetime. B．He had been busy his whole life. C．He gave up art after retirement. D．He liked to purchase toys and kites. 4．How does the author introduce Tyrus Wong? A．By analyzing cause and effect. B．By making comparisons. C．By following time order. D．By listing examples. 主题03 人与自然——环境保护 Passage 1 （23-24高二上·阜阳三中·期中） Three cute brown bear cubs who got lost after getting separated from their mother gripped the hearts of netizens. The fuzzy cubs were spotted by Gelek Gyatso, an ecological protection officer, when he was patrolling a riverbed at an altitude of nearly 4, 500 meters in Qumarleb county in Qinghai province’s Yushu. The little cubs eagerly ran toward the ranger on the snow-covered riverbed, then stopped short at a safe distance to stare at him curiously. After realizing that the man was not their mother, the bear cubs turned around and ran along the river calling for mom. This was Gelek Gyatso’s first encounter with bear cubs separated from their mother.

You don’t have to travel a great distance to discover it. At 10 miles offshore, you’re already there. At 100 miles, the effect is complete: Civilization disappears, along with any sign of humanity. It’s the closest to the isolation of outer space. And it is why I’m really into sailing. I was always more intrigued, though, by wind-driven boats than any relying on engines. As a kid, I was interested by the adventures of Robin Lee Graham, the teenage global traveler. However, it wasn’t until about 20 years ago that I took sailing seriously, and I quickly learned the art of monitoring the sails. I’ve made voyages in fair weather. Still, I’ve made lots of mistakes. While living in Asia, a friend and I set off across the South China Sea destined for Thailand, only to be stopped by a typhoon that forced us to make landfall in Vietnam. Along the way, however, I also learned the essentials-navigation and maintaining a boat’s system. Years later, my wife and I lived aboard our Symbiosis. We visited many places nearly accessible to reach on a small boat. Far from shore, it’s the responsibility of the crew to keep the water out, the people in, the boat on course and everything working, which adds to the excitement of the voyages. It appeals to me, so does the company or fellow sailors. But boats are expensive and time-consuming. After returning from the Caribbean, we decided to sell Symbiosis, deciding to sail only other people’s boats, but it wasn’t eight months before we found a good deal on a smaller boat—easier to maintain but still capable of some offshore voyages. I think we’ll name her Talisman. 1．Why is the author interested in sailing? A．He likes doing adventurous sports. B．He likes being away from human society. C．He likes living in a strange place. D．He likes discovering something great. 2．What does the underlined word “intrigued” in Paragraph 2mean? A．Puzzled. B．Challenged. C．Attracted. D．Motivated. 3．What does the author think makes the voyages more exciting? A．Keeping the boat sailing safely. B．Making plenty of mistakes. C．Designing a boat’s system. D．Reaching a new destination. 4．What can we infer about the author from the text? A．He will purchase an expensive boat. B．He decides to sail globally again. C．He will invite more fellow sailors. D．He will take some voyages in his new boat. 主题01 人与自我——生活与学习 Passage 1 （24-25高二上·阜阳一中·期中） My wife’s birthday falls at the beginning of spring when the winter chill still hangs over the approaching warmth. On that day, I came home from work, stopped her from entering the kitchen and asked her to dine out. “Has Lily called?” she asked. I shook my head. The atmosphere at the dinner was oppressive. My wife kept glancing at her phone, showing no signs of appetite. Early the next morning, my wife got up, dark rings encircling her eyes. We only have one child. When Lily still lived at home, every year when her birthday approached, we would start the grand preparations days in advance. And after she left for college, my wife would call her countless times from morning till night. How could she ignore all our love and utterly forget her mum’s birthday? On the way to work, I texted Lily, “Your mum didn’t sleep well last night.” Another day concluding, we were about to go to bed when there was a sound of a key rattling in the lock. In came our daughter, face red with cold, birthday cake in hand. “Sorry, Mum. Happy birthday!” she said, tears welling up. Immediately, my wife pulled Lily into a hug, complaining, “You silly girl, why do you come all the way back at such a time? Don’t you know it is cold outside?” Lily just stayed two hours in case of missing her classes. Seeing Lily boarding the train, my wife started blaming me for that message, yet in a better mood. I did feel I handled this matter perfectly both for my wife and my child’s growth. Later, I called my parents and told them about it.

Passage 3 （23-24高二上·安庆二中·期中） In my childhood, my mother spent her evening hours doing something for someone else. Sometimes she knitted (编织) hats for babies, and at other times, she cooked chicken soup for sick neighbors. Therefore, I wasn’t surprised when one evening my mother announced she had undertaken a new project. “I am going to telephone seniors,” said my mother. “Every night? But you don’t even know these people.” “It doesn’t matter,” she said. “What’s important is that I listen.” I was sixteen years old and couldn’t understand why my mother was willing to spend her evenings talking to strangers. She had friends and my two older sisters to call if she felt lonely. “They will talk your ear off. Some people didn’t even stop to catch breath,” I said. My attitude didn’t stop my mother’s enthusiasm for the project. That evening, she settled on the sofa and dialed. For a while, I listened as she asked the woman on the other line about her day and what she had eaten for dinner. When she finished the call, I said, “Why do you care whether she had cookies or rice pudding for dessert?” My mother grasped one of my hands and gave it a slight squeeze. “I’m the only person she talked to today.” It took me more than thirty years to fully understand the meaning of that statement. Now, as my mother is nearing eighty, I find myself thinking about those nightly calls she used to make. I am often the only person who telephones my mother, and sometimes I’m the only person she speaks to all day.

The incident resulted in the loss of both of his legs. But surprisingly, with the loss of his legs, Leykin gained a new passion for racing. Before his accident, he wasn't really that athletic. He would just occasionally play basketball. But that all changed after he was introduced to hand cycling. “When I saw it, I was like, ‘Oh, this is great. You don't even need legs to use it. This is perfect.’” he said. “So, I got on it, I rode and fell in love with it right away.” Within a few months, he completed the TD Five Boro Bike Tour, a 40-mile ride through New York City. After that, he did his first marathon in 2021. He fished that race in 2 hours and 11 minutes, placing 12th out of 38. “I'm going to attend this year's marathon and take on challenges. My hands are on the wheel, my eyes are focused, and I think my time is going to speak for itself.” he said. He's made a significant commitment to training. He hand cycles at least 13.1 miles a couple times a week and spends a lot of time in the gym. And he plans to keep pursuing his athlete goals. He wants to complete the Abbott Six-the world's six largest marathons. One day, he said, he'll maybe even make the Paralympics. For those who might be following his journey, he hopes they will take some lessons from his story. “There will be ups and downs but the trend is what's important. Focus on the good,” he said. “And also, take your big problems and split them into small solutions. And then all of a sudden, your big problems turn into many small wins.” 1．What can we learn about Rome Leykin from paragraph 2? A．He once was an excellent basketball player. B．He considered hand cycling difficult in the beginning. C．He made hand cycling more popular among the disabled. D．He showed an interest in hand cycling the moment he saw it. 2．How did Rome Leykin feel about the coming marathon? A．Worried. B．Curious. C．Confident. D．Nervous. 3．Which of the following can best describe Rome Leykin? A．Easy-going and reliable. B．Kind-hearted and helpful. C．Open-minded and creative. D．Strong-willed and ambitious. 4．What message does Rome Leykin convey in the last paragraph? A．Stick to your dreams. B．Break down your goals. C．Focus on your strengths. D．Achieve success at all costs. 1 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 专题02 阅读理解 记叙文 主题01 人与自我——生活与学习 Passage 1 （24-25高二上·芜湖一中·期中） My day in the sun had arrived—my masterpiece would be revealed. l had just delivered a speech that I had labored over for weeks, and I was about to learn how the panel judged my performance. The contest-organizer announced the third-place winner. The name was not mine. Then he read the second-place winner, and once again it was not me. At last, the moment of truth came. I was about to either feel the warmth of victory or regret the last several weeks spent preparing. When the result came my heart sank. Losing is part of life, and I have dealt with the emotional baggage occasionally. However, it was an indescribably terrible feeling to drive 300 miles round trip, get up extremely early on a freezing Saturday morning and yet still finish fourth out of four competitors. I had spent many hours in libraries doing research for the Lincoln Bicentennial Speech Contest. As I read several biographies, one thought stood out. Lincoln was handed many sound defeats, but he never allowed them to affect his spirit or ambition. After not placing in the first year of the speech contest, I really wanted to compete again. Lincoln had been the symbol of persistence (坚持不懈), so I was not going to give up on n contest about a historic individual who did not give up! I reworked my speech for the following year, and though I did not come in last, again I did not win a place. Some days you’re the lucky dog, but some days you’re the hydrant, and this was definitely a hydrant day that let me down for a while. Though I did not earn money awards as a result of this contest, I did gain a new view. Through learning about Lincoln, I discovered that I could fail successfully. Now, whenever I’m faced with difficulties, I remember what Lincoln said after his unsuccessful Senate race—“The path was worn and slippery. My foot slipped from under me, knocking the other out of the way, but I recovered and said to myself, ‘It’s a slip and not a fall.’” 1．How did the author feel about the result of his first speech contest? A．Satisfied. B．Puzzled. C．Embarrassed. D．Disappointed. 2．What does the author mean by saying the underlined sentence in paragraph 4? A．Failure disappointed him at that time. B．Every dog has its day. C．He was definitely a loser all the time. D．Life is full of changes. 3．Why did the author mention Lincoln several times in the text? A．Lincoln suffered the pain of defeat. B．Lincoln’s persistence inspired him. C．Lincoln was a great president of the USA． D．Lincoln made famous comments on success. 4．What did the author learn from the second speech contest? A．The significance of success. B．The hard blow of difficulties. C．A new perspective on failure. D．The value of good preparations. 【答案】1．D 2．A 3．B 4．C 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者在经历两次的演讲比赛中失败后，对失败有了新的思考，人生的态度发生了改变。 1．推理判断题。根据第一段中“The contest-organizer announced the third-place winner. The name was not mine. Then he read the second-place winner, and once again it was not me. At last, the moment of truth came. I was about to either feel the warmth of victory or regret the last several weeks spent preparing. When the result came my heart sank.( 比赛组织者宣布了第三名的获胜者。这个名字不是我的。然后他读了第二名的名字，又一次不是我。最后，关键时刻来了。我要么感受到胜利的温暖，要么后悔过去几周的准备。当结果出来时，我的心一沉。)”可推知，作者对他第一次演讲比赛的结果感到失望。故选D项。 2．词义猜测题。根据第四段中“Some days you’re the lucky dog, but some days…(有时你是幸运儿，但有时……)”以及“…that let me down for a while(让我失望了一会儿。)”由此可知，第四段中划线的句子指的是作者失望的感觉，那次失败使他失望。故选A项。 3．推理判断题。根据第四段中“Lincoln had been the symbol of persistence (坚持不懈), so I was not going to give up on n contest about a historic individual who did not give up!( 林肯一直是坚持不懈的象征，所以我不会放弃这场关于一个不放弃的历史人物的比赛！)”以及第五段中“Through learning about Lincoln, I discovered that I could fail successfully. Now, whenever I’m faced with difficulties, I remember what Lincoln said after his unsuccessful Senate race—The path was worn and slippery.( 通过了解林肯，我发现我可以成功地失败。现在，每当我遇到困难时，我就会想起林肯在参议员竞选失败后说过的话——道路是崎岖而滑的。)”可推知，作者在文中多次提到林肯是因为林肯的坚持激励了他。故选B项。 4．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Though I did not earn money awards as a result of this contest, I did gain a new view. Through learning about Lincoln, I discovered that I could fail successfully. Now, whenever I’m faced with difficulties, I remember what Lincoln said after his unsuccessful Senate race—“The path was worn and slippery. My foot slipped from under me, knocking the other out of the way, but I recovered and said to myself, ‘It’s a slip and not a fall.’”( 虽然我没有因为这次比赛而获得金钱奖励，但我确实获得了新的观点。通过了解林肯，我发现我可以成功地失败。现在，每当我遇到困难时，我就会想起林肯在参议员竞选失败后说过的话——“道路是崎岖而滑的。我的一只脚从我身下滑了下来，把另一只脚撞倒了，但我回过神来，对自己说：‘这是滑倒，不是摔倒。’”)”可推知，作者从第二次演讲比赛中获得了对失败的新看法。故选C项。 Passage 2 （24-25高二上·安徽池州·期中） The first time my daughter, Maia, realized I was leaving on a trip without her, she was alarmed. Seeing photos of where I was going, she cried and asked why I was going to leave her behind. I tried to explain my work as a travel writer. But as my husband, Evan, pulled her off my leg so I could leave, I wondered if my solo trips would be worth the effort of going without her. A few days later, I returned home and Maia was happy to hear about my trip. She told me I could keep going on trips for work-but we’d compromise(妥协), she’d come with me. One year later, an invitation came to experience the Rocky Mountaineer on a parent-child journey, And as scary as it seemed to take a preschooler on a train, the trip sounded too good to pass up. Dressed in her most beautiful train-riding clothes, four-year-old Maia watched me take notes about the scenery as we chugged along the Fraser River in BC． Wanting to prove her worth as an assistant, she began interviewing the Australian couple sitting beside us. Unable to spell more than a few words, she drew their answers in crayon(蜡笔)。She ended up being such an easy travel companion and we found a special rhythm(节奏) on the road together. When she was six, we flew to the Riviera Maya in Mexico. I was impressed by how cheerfully fearless she was when we swam in cenotes(天然井). But it was on the flight home, when my little kid said it was okay that the airline didn’t seat us together, that I realized how much travel was shaping her. Research says that travel can expand a kid’s world, helping them become more adaptable while developing their creativity and imagination.

Her days were filled with the familiar rhythm of her job at the local bookstore, but her heart yearned for something more. Sarah dreamed of running a marathon, a challenge that seemed as daunting as the open road that stretched beyond her small town. Sarah’s journey began with a single step. She started by running around the block, her legs heavy and her breath short. Each day, she pushed herself a little further, her determination growing with every mile. She trained through the hot summers and the cold winters, her dream of crossing the marathon finish line fueling her every step. Her friends and family watched her transformation with a mix of awe and concern. They had never seen Sarah so focused, so driven. Some doubted her ability to complete such a grueling race, but Sarah paid no attention to their skepticism. She believed in her dream and was willing to put in the work to make it a reality. As the marathon date approached, Sarah’s training intensified. She ran longer distances, climbed steep hills, and practiced her pacing strategy. Her body ached, and there were days when every step was a struggle, but she never wavered in her commitment. The day of the marathon finally arrived. Sarah stood at the starting line, her heart pounding with a mixture of excitement and nerves. Around her, thousands of runners prepared for the challenge ahead, their faces reflecting the same determination she felt. The gun fired, and the race began. Sarah’s feet hit the pavement, her body moving in a rhythm she had practiced countless times. The miles passed, and with each one, she felt herself getting closer to her dream. The last few miles were the hardest. Her legs burned, and her lungs ached for air, but Sarah refused to give up. She dug deep, finding strength in her dream and the months of training that had brought her to this point. As she crossed the finish line, exhaustion and elation washed over her in equal measure. She had done it. She had run a marathon, a feat that had once seemed impossible.

The worried mum from Morecambe, Lancashire, left her car on a double yellow line outside the Lancaster hospital and raced inside with her daughter. When Sarah returned to her car, rather than finding a parking ticket, she surprisedly discovered a hand-written note, saying that they had “sweet talked” the traffic warden (交通管理员) into not giving her a ticket. “They didn’t have to do that-it made things a lot easier,” the grateful mum said. “I was fully expecting to come out of the hospital and to have a parking ticket, and I had come to terms with that.” The dramatic evening began on the evening of July 2 when Lacie split her head open on the hinge (铰链) of a door. Lacie ripped on the carpet and hit the hinge. When Sarah picked her up there was blood everywhere. It terrified Sarah, who quickly switched into action mode. There was no time to call for an ambulance so Sarah just put her in the car and got her there in 15 minutes. It was scary. When she arrived at the hospital Sarah ignored the warnings of ambulance staff about potential traffic wardens and raced inside. The note she found on her car when she returned made sure a difficult day was made just a little bit easier. It read: “Good afternoon, we noticed you left your car here as you rushed your child into A&E. (We tried to warn you about getting a ticket.) We spoke with the traffic warden and told him about your situation and managed to sweet talk him into letting you off under the circumstances. He wanted us to let you know that you can leave it in the ambulance bay across the road. We hope your little one is okay. Kindest regards.” 1．What does the underlined phrase “sweet talked” in Paragraph 1 mean? A．Trick somebody with some sweets. B．Confuse somebody with sweet words. C．Convince somebody in a pleasant way. D．Persuade somebody with solid evidence. 2．What do we know about Sarah? A．She thought she would be fined. B．No one noticed her park her car. C．She injured her daughter at home. D．She paid a parking fine in the end. 3．Who wrote the note for Sarah? A．Ambulance staff. B．Traffic wardens. C．Doctors in A&E. D．Passers-by. 4．What can be the best title for this text? A．A Fair Warden B．A Lucky Mother C．A Warm Surprise D．A Thoughtful Parking Ticket 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．A 4．C 【导语】这是一篇记叙文， Sarah Moore在带自己孩子到医院就医时，因孩子伤情紧急而违规停车，目睹此情形的急救人员为她向交通管理人员求情，从而为她免去了罚单。 1．词句猜测题。根据第一段中“The worried mum from Morecambe, Lancashire, left her car on a double yellow line outside the Lancaster hospital and raced inside with her daughter. When Sarah returned to her car, rather than finding a parking ticket, she surprisedly discovered a hand-written note(这位忧心忡忡的母亲来自兰开夏郡的莫克姆，她把车停在兰开斯特医院外的双黄线上，带着女儿跑了进去。Sarah回到车里，没有找到停车罚单，而是惊奇地发现了一张手写的纸条)”可知，Sarah Moore把车停在了双黄线上，违反了交通规则，但让她吃惊的是她回来后看到车上没有贴罚单；再结合划线词所在句“they had “sweet talked” the traffic warden (交通管理员) into not giving her a ticket.(他们sweet talked交通管理员不给她开罚单)”可推知，“sweet talked”是指有好心人以合适的方式说服了交通管理员不要给Sarah开罚单。C选项“用愉快的方式说服某人”与之意义相近。故选C项。 2．细节理解题。根据第二段中“I was fully expecting to come out of the hospital and to have a parking ticket, and I had come to terms with that.(我满心期待着出院后会收到一张停车罚单，我已经接受了这一点)”可知，Sarah Moore清楚自己违规停车并且预料自己会因此被罚款。故选A项。 3．推理判断题。根据第四段中“When she arrived at the hospital Sarah ignored the warnings of ambulance staff about potential traffic wardens and raced inside.(当她到达医院时，Sarah无视救护人员关于交通管理员可能的警告，跑进了医院)”和便条上的“We tried to warn you about getting a ticket.(我们试着警告过你别被开罚单)”可推断出，写便条的人是曾经提醒了Sarah Moore的救护人员。故选A项。 4．主旨大意题。全文围绕Sarah Moore意外收到的善意便条展开，介绍了她因急着带孩子就医而违规停车以及急救人员在她车上留下便条的事。根据第一段中的“she surprisedly discovered a hand-written note(她惊奇地发现了一张手写的纸条)”以及第四段的便条上的暖心话语“We spoke with the traffic warden and told him about your situation and managed to sweet talk him into letting you off under the circumstances.(我们和交通管理员谈了谈，告诉了他你的情况，并设法用甜言蜜语说服他在这种情况下放了你)”可判断，C选项“A Warm Surprise(温暖的惊喜)”最能概括文章主旨大意。故选C项。 Passage 2 （23-24高二上·安庆七中·期中） Former Disney child star Jennifer McGill recently shared how, after her mother passed away, she went through an extremely dark period in her life. Jennifer was born ready for the stage. She grew up in a loving home in Texas. And by age 7, she begged her mom to let her enter contests. Jennifer’s mom was uncertain. But seeing her daughter’s high energy and unshakable love of the stage, she finally supported her daughter’s wish. Jennifer won many contests, and soon her parents were advised to have her audition (试演) for The New Mickey Mouse Club, a Disney show. Jennifer tried out and landed her dream job. Many of Jennifer’s co­stars on the show went on to run after their careers. But after many years as a Disney child star, Jennifer didn’t feel ready for Hollywood just yet. “I just needed to grow up and grow wiser in order to be the artist I thought I was meant to be,” she said. Instead, Jennifer chose to go on to college — a decision her mother fully supported. Jennifer’s parents were supportive throughout her career and schooling. But her mom was her champion — a constant source of support. Unfortunately, when Jennifer was 24 years old, her mom passed away. “The biggest light and fan was gone, the person who’d reminded me that I was unique and valuable. I was kind of lost,” she said. The next several years grew very dark. She began feeling herself lonely. She felt lifeless and purposeless. Much as Jennifer still missed her mother, she realized she should get her life back to normal. She’s now pursuing a new career in music. She also spends her time coaching young artists. She encourages them to put fame at the bottom of their list. 1．What do we know about Jennifer from Paragraph 2? A．She loved her mother deeply. B．She had a natural talent for acting.

A．The death of her mother. B．The loss of support from her family. C．The failure to become a Hollywood star. D．The lack of courage to pursue her career. 4．Which of the following is Jennifer’s advice to young artists? A．Never forget the social duty. B．It is important to earn fame in the career. C．Never think too much about being famous. D．Get away from sorrow as soon as possible. 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．A 4．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了前迪士尼童星Jennifer McGill的成长过程。母亲去世使Jennifer McGill经历了人生中极其黑暗的时期，但最终她熬过了那段时期，使自己的生活恢复了正常。现在她正在追求音乐方面的新事业，她还花时间指导年轻艺人并告诫她们不要太注重名气。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段第一句“Jennifer was born ready for the stage.(Jennifer生来就为登台做准备)”可知，Jennifer天生有表演天赋。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据第四段“Many of Jennifer’s co­stars on the show went on to run after their careers. But after many years as a Disney child star, Jennifer didn’t feel ready for Hollywood just yet.(Jennifer在剧中的许多合作演员继续追求他们的事业。但在做了多年迪士尼童星之后，Jennifer觉得自己还没有为好莱坞做好准备)”和第五段中的“Instead, Jennifer chose to go on to college — a decision her mother fully supported.(相反，Jennifer选择继续上大学——她的母亲完全支持她的决定)”可知，与其他迪士尼童星相比，Jennifer的特别之处是“她决定继续她的学业。”故选D。 3．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段的内容““The biggest light and fan was gone, the person who’d reminded me that I was unique and valuable. I was kind of lost,” she said. The next several years grew very dark. She began feeling herself lonely. She felt lifeless and purposeless.(“那个曾经提醒我，我是独一无二的、有价值的人，那个最耀眼的光芒和粉丝走了。我有点迷失了，”她说。接下来的几年变得非常黑暗。她开始感到孤独。她觉得自己毫无生气，毫无目的)”可知，她母亲的死使Jennifer非常痛苦。故选A。 4．细节理解题。根据最后一段最后一句“She encourages them to put fame at the bottom of their list.(她鼓励他们把名声放在最重要的位置)”可知，Jennifer对年轻艺术家的建议是“不要想太多成名的事。”故选C。 Passage 3 （23-24高二上·宿州示范中学·期中） A year after Walt Disney made history with Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, its artists were struggling to find the right design for Bambi, the tale of a young deer. The film’s production team realized they needed a style that highlighted almost all of the leaves, flowers and mushrooms in their first feature-length animated(动画的)film. Soon they got their inspiration from Tyrus Wong, whose work was on display as a new exhibit at New York City’s Museum. In 1938, the Walt Disney Studio hired him to draw the frames between the main drawings of the animators. After reading the story of Bambi, he saw an opportunity to break out of his humdrum job. He said to himself “This is all outdoor scenery. And I’m a landscape painter. This will be great!” Inspired by Chinese landscape paintings, he used watercolor and pastels(蜡笔)to make sketches that bring the feeling of forest scenes with simple strokes of color and special attention to light and shadow. Wong’s sketches attracted Disney and became the guide for Bambi’s background artists, who were later trained to imitate his style. “His expression was a great leap forward for the medium,” writes John Lasseter, the chief creative officer for Walt Disney and Pixar Animation Studios. “Where other films were literal, Bambi was expressive and emotional.” In 2001,Wong was named “Disney Legend”, and he received the recognition as the true lead artist. He pursued art all his life and still made art during his retirement, including toy animals from recycled materials and handmade kites that he regularly flew off the Santa Monica Pier in California. “People admire his works because of Bambi, but Bambi was just a really small part of his life,” says his youngest daughter. “He considers himself not a great artist but a lucky artist, who was at the right place at the right time.” 1．Why did Walt Disney’s artists notice Tyrus Wong? A．He was good at drawing cartoon characters. B．He won a prize at a museum in New York. C．His style was suitable for the animated film Bambi. D．His work could be used to advertise Walt Disney’s films 2．What does John Lasseter think of Tyrus Wong’s paintings? A．They were literal and detailed. B．They conveyed thoughts effectively. C．They showed the legend of Walt Disney. D．They displayed the progress of the medium. 3．What can we learn about Tyrus Wong from the last paragraph? A．He was devoted to art during his lifetime. B．He had been busy his whole life. C．He gave up art after retirement. D．He liked to purchase toys and kites. 4．How does the author introduce Tyrus Wong? A．By analyzing cause and effect. B．By making comparisons. C．By following time order. D．By listing examples. 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．A 4．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了艺术家黄齐耀的绘画风格及其在迪士尼经典动画作品《小鹿斑比》中的重要贡献。 1．细节理解题。根据文章第一段“The film’s production team realized they needed a style that highlighted almost all of the leaves, flowers and mushrooms in their first feature-length animated(动画的)film.

You don’t have to travel a great distance to discover it. At 10 miles offshore, you’re already there. At 100 miles, the effect is complete: Civilization disappears, along with any sign of humanity. It’s the closest to the isolation of outer space. And it is why I’m really into sailing. I was always more intrigued, though, by wind-driven boats than any relying on engines. As a kid, I was interested by the adventures of Robin Lee Graham, the teenage global traveler. However, it wasn’t until about 20 years ago that I took sailing seriously, and I quickly learned the art of monitoring the sails. I’ve made voyages in fair weather. Still, I’ve made lots of mistakes. While living in Asia, a friend and I set off across the South China Sea destined for Thailand, only to be stopped by a typhoon that forced us to make landfall in Vietnam. Along the way, however, I also learned the essentials-navigation and maintaining a boat’s system. Years later, my wife and I lived aboard our Symbiosis. We visited many places nearly accessible to reach on a small boat. Far from shore, it’s the responsibility of the crew to keep the water out, the people in, the boat on course and everything working, which adds to the excitement of the voyages. It appeals to me, so does the company or fellow sailors. But boats are expensive and time-consuming. After returning from the Caribbean, we decided to sell Symbiosis, deciding to sail only other people’s boats, but it wasn’t eight months before we found a good deal on a smaller boat—easier to maintain but still capable of some offshore voyages. I think we’ll name her Talisman. 1．Why is the author interested in sailing? A．He likes doing adventurous sports. B．He likes being away from human society. C．He likes living in a strange place. D．He likes discovering something great. 2．What does the underlined word “intrigued” in Paragraph 2mean? A．Puzzled. B．Challenged. C．Attracted. D．Motivated. 3．What does the author think makes the voyages more exciting? A．Keeping the boat sailing safely. B．Making plenty of mistakes. C．Designing a boat’s system. D．Reaching a new destination. 4．What can we infer about the author from the text? A．He will purchase an expensive boat. B．He decides to sail globally again. C．He will invite more fellow sailors. D．He will take some voyages in his new boat. 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．A 4．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。作者讲述了自己对航海的热爱，展现出对航海的激情。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段“There’s another universe where there are no buildings, trees, cars, cellphones or the Internet, You don’t have to travel a great distance to discover it. At 10 miles offshore, you’re already there. At 100 miles, the effect is complete: Civilization disappears, along with any sign of humanity. It’s the closest to the isolation of outer space. And it is why I’m really into sailing.( 有另一个宇宙，那里没有建筑、树木、汽车、手机和互联网。你不必走很远的路就能发现它。在离岸10英里的地方，你已经到了。在100英里处，效果是完全显现的：文明消失了，任何人类的迹象也消失了。这是最接近与世隔绝的外太空。这就是我喜欢航海的原因。)”可知，在海洋上，几乎没有人类的迹象，没有建筑，树木，汽车，手机和互联网等人类社会的东西，几乎是与世隔绝的，因此推断作者喜欢航海时因为他喜欢远离人类社会。故选B。 2．词句猜测题。根据下文“As a kid, I was interested by the adventures of Robin Lee Graham, the teenage global traveler.(小时候，我对罗宾·李·格雷厄姆的冒险故事很感兴趣，他是一位青少年环球旅行者。)”可知，作者对罗宾·李·格雷厄姆的冒险故事很感兴趣，冒险故事中罗宾应不是乘坐依靠发动机的船而是靠风力驱动的船，因此推断比起任何依靠发动机的船只，作者对风力驱动的船只总是更感兴趣，即：被风力驱动的船只所吸引，故划线词词义与C项意思相近。故选C。 3．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段的“Far from shore, it’s the responsibility of the crew to keep the water out, the people in, the boat on course and everything working, which adds to the excitement of the voyages.( 在远离海岸的地方，船员们有责任让海水远离，让人们呆在船上，让船保持航向，让一切正常运转，这增加了航行的兴奋感。)”可知，作者认为让船只保持安全航行让航海更加令人兴奋 。故选A。 4．推理判断题。根据最后一段“It appeals to me, so does the company or fellow sailors. But boats are expensive and time-consuming. After returning from the Caribbean, we decided to sell Symbiosis, deciding to sail only other people’s boats, but it wasn’t eight months before we found a good deal on a smaller boat—easier to maintain but stull capable of some offshore voyages. I think we’ll name her Talisman.(它吸引着我，也吸引着我的同伴和水手们。但船既昂贵又费时。从加勒比海回来后，我们决定卖掉Symbiosis，决定只驾驶别人的船，但不到八个月，我们就发现了一艘更小的船，这艘船更容易维护，但仍能进行一些离岸航行。我想我们可以给她起名叫护身符。)”可知，作者发现了一艘较小的船，仍旧可以出海并容易维修，因此推断作者将会乘坐自己新的小船出海。故选D。 主题01 人与自我——生活与学习 Passage 1 （24-25高二上·阜阳一中·期中） My wife’s birthday falls at the beginning of spring when the winter chill still hangs over the approaching warmth. On that day, I came home from work, stopped her from entering the kitchen and asked her to dine out. “Has Lily called?” she asked. I shook my head. The atmosphere at the dinner was oppressive. My wife kept glancing at her phone, showing no signs of appetite. Early the next morning, my wife got up, dark rings encircling her eyes. We only have one child. When Lily still lived at home, every year when her birthday approached, we would start the grand preparations days in advance. And after she left for college, my wife would call her countless times from morning till night. How could she ignore all our love and utterly forget her mum’s birthday? On the way to work, I texted Lily, “Your mum didn’t sleep well last night.” Another day concluding, we were about to go to bed when there was a sound of a key rattling in the lock. In came our daughter, face red with cold, birthday cake in hand. “Sorry, Mum. Happy birthday!” she said, tears welling up. Immediately, my wife pulled Lily into a hug, complaining, “You silly girl, why do you come all the way back at such a time? Don’t you know it is cold outside?” Lily just stayed two hours in case of missing her classes. Seeing Lily boarding the train, my wife started blaming me for that message, yet in a better mood. I did feel I handled this matter perfectly both for my wife and my child’s growth. Later, I called my parents and told them about it. I never thought they would respond with a long silence, and then said: “How many times have you forgotten our birthdays? Has either of us ever complained?” 1．What does the underlined word “oppressive” mean in paragraph 2? A．Relaxing. B．Funny. C．Unique. D．Heavy. 2．What can be inferred about the woman in paragraph 3?

A．Love is a two-way street. B．Birthday party is a must. C．Parental love is for a return. D．It is never too late to say sorry. 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．B 4．A 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。作者讲述了女儿忘记了妈妈的生日，妻子辗转难眠很伤心，作者给女儿发消息，女儿冒着严寒乘火车回来给妈妈补过生日，妻子很感动。作者又把这件事讲给自己的父母听，父母却反问作者又有多少次忘记父母的生日。 1．词句猜测题。根据上一句“On that day, I came home from work, stopped her from entering the kitchen and asked her to dine out. “Has Lily called?” she asked. I shook my head.(那天，我下班回家，不让她进厨房，请她出去吃饭。“莉莉打电话来了吗?”她问道。我摇了摇头)”和下一句“My wife kept glancing at her phone, showing no signs of appetite.(我妻子一直在看她的手机，没有任何食欲)”可知，妻子在生日那天，在等女儿的祝福电话，中午了女儿还没打电话，应该是忘记了妈妈的生日，妻子应该是心情不好，气氛比较沉闷。由此可知，划线词意为“沉闷的，沉重的”。故选D项。 2．推理判断题。根据第三段“Early the next morning, my wife got up, dark rings encircling her eyes. We only have one child. When Lily still lived at home, every year when her birthday approached, we would start the grand preparations days in advance. And after she left for college, my wife would call her countless times from morning till night. How could she ignore all our love and utterly forget her mum’s birthday?”(第二天一大早，我妻子起床了，黑眼圈围绕着她的眼睛。我们只有一个孩子。莉莉还在家里的时候，每年临近她的生日，我们都会提前几天开始隆重地准备。在她上大学后，我妻子从早到晚给她打了无数次电话。她怎么能无视我们所有的爱，完全忘记她妈妈的生日呢?)”可知，妻子在女儿生日时，打很多电话表示关心祝福，而女儿上大学后都不记得妈妈的生日，妻子是失落的，黑眼圈表明妻子的焦虑，晚上没睡好觉。故选C项。 3．细节理解题。根据第四段“‘Sorry, Mum. Happy birthday!’ she said, tears welling up.(‘对不起,妈妈。生日快乐!’她说，眼泪涌了出来)”可知，女儿见到妈妈哭了是因为自己忘记妈妈的生日而感到抱歉和懊悔。故选B项。 4．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Later, I called my parents and told them about it. I never thought they would respond with a long silence, and then said: ‘How many times have you forgotten our birthdays? Has either of us ever complained?’(后来，我打电话给我的父母，告诉他们这件事。我从没想过他们会沉默很长时间，然后说:‘你多少次忘了我们的生日?我们俩谁抱怨过吗?’)”可知，作者把女儿忘记她妈妈的生日这事儿讲给父母听，而父母的回答表明作者也多次忘记父母的生日。父母的沉默和后面的回答表明父母也是期待作者对他们生日的重视。由此可知，父母传达的信息是爱是一条双行道，爱是相互的。故选A项。 Passage 2 （24-25高二上·安庆二中·期中） The little,black-haired boy was waiting for us on the other side of the world.Ever since our adoption agency had matched us,I'd been crazily completing all the necessary paperwork.We knew we faced months of waiting before we could hold our new son in our arms,and he'd waited long enough already.

Sometimes she knitted (编织) hats for babies, and at other times, she cooked chicken soup for sick neighbors. Therefore, I wasn’t surprised when one evening my mother announced she had undertaken a new project. “I am going to telephone seniors,” said my mother. “Every night? But you don’t even know these people.” “It doesn’t matter,” she said. “What’s important is that I listen.” I was sixteen years old and couldn’t understand why my mother was willing to spend her evenings talking to strangers. She had friends and my two older sisters to call if she felt lonely. “They will talk your ear off. Some people didn’t even stop to catch breath,” I said. My attitude didn’t stop my mother’s enthusiasm for the project. That evening, she settled on the sofa and dialed. For a while, I listened as she asked the woman on the other line about her day and what she had eaten for dinner. When she finished the call, I said, “Why do you care whether she had cookies or rice pudding for dessert?” My mother grasped one of my hands and gave it a slight squeeze. “I’m the only person she talked to today.” It took me more than thirty years to fully understand the meaning of that statement. Now, as my mother is nearing eighty, I find myself thinking about those nightly calls she used to make. I am often the only person who telephones my mother, and sometimes I’m the only person she speaks to all day. I ask her what she cooked for dinner, but mostly I just listen as she describes a walk she took, or how her dog Lucky stole foods from the refrigerator. I realize that my mother’s calls were life lines that ensured housebound seniors remained connected to the world. Without her, their world would have been empty. 1．What is the mother’s purpose of calling the seniors? A．To care about their life. B．To know what they eat for dinner. C．To make them feel less lonely. D．To teach them how to make desserts. 2．What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A．They will talk all the time on the phone. B．They will blame others’ wrong doings. C．They will be tired of listening to others. D．They will make you feel really satisfied. 3．What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A．The author started to telephone seniors as her mother. B．The author realized the value of her mother’s efforts. C．The author’s mother preferred to live alone. D．The author’s mother still remains disconnected to the world. 4．What is the suitable title for the passage? A．Call parents often, love them always B．Mother’s evenings C．A new project D．Nightly calls, lifeline calls 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．B 4．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。讲述的是作者的母亲经常晚上给一些老年人打电话聊天，作者很不理解，但是30年后，作者真正的意识到了母亲这样做的价值和意义。 1．推理判断题。根据第二段中的““It doesn’t matter,” she said. “What’s important is that I listen.”(“没关系，”她说。“重要的是我倾听。”)”以及第三段中的“My mother grasped one of my hands and gave it a slight squeeze. “I’m the only person she talked to today.”(妈妈抓住我的一只手，轻轻捏了一下。“我是她今天唯一和她说话的人。”)”可知，老年人一天中只有作者的母亲给他打电话，由此可以推断，老年人很孤单，所以母亲作为一个倾听者给老年人打电话就是为了不让老人们减少一些他们的孤独。故选C项。 2．词义猜测题。根据空前的“She had friends and my two older sisters to call if she felt lonely.(如果她感到孤独，她有朋友和我的两个姐姐可以打电话。)”可知，作者觉得母亲要是觉得孤单可以找自己认识的人聊天，再根据“Some people didn’t even stop to catch breath(有些人甚至没有停下来喘口气)”可知，作者觉得母亲认识的人中有特别能说的，一打起电话就没完没了，由此可猜测，划线句子的意思是“他们在电话里会一直没完没了地说”。故选A项。 3．推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“It took me more than thirty years to fully understand the meaning of that statement.(我花了三十多年的时间才完全理解这句话的含义。)”以及“I realize that my mother’s calls were life lines that ensured housebound seniors remained connected to the world. Without her, their world would have been empty.(我意识到我母亲的电话是确保居家老年人与世界保持联系的生命线。没有她，他们的世界将是空的。)”可知，作者终于在30年后明白了母亲这样做是让更多的老人与世界关联，不让老人觉得自己的世界太孤单，由此可推断出作者明白了母亲这样做的价值和意义。故选B项。 4．主旨大意题。根据首段中的“In my childhood, my mother spent her evening hours doing something for someone else.(在我的童年时代，我的母亲在晚上为别人做一些事情。)”和“Therefore, I wasn’t surprised when one evening my mother announced she had undertaken a new project.(因此，有一天晚上，当我母亲宣布她承担了一个新项目时，我并不感到惊讶。)”以及最后一段中的“I realize that my mother’s calls were life lines that ensured housebound seniors remained connected to the world. Without her, their world would have been empty.(我意识到我母亲的电话是确保居家老年人与世界保持联系的生命线。没有她，他们的世界将是空的。)”并结合全文的内容可知，作者的母亲晚上给老年人打电话成了老年人与世界联系的生命线，让他们不会觉得太孤单，综上所述，本文的标题为“夜间通话，生命线通话”符合文章主题。故选D项。 Passage 4 （24-25高二上·阜阳一中·期中） Four years ago, Rome Leykin was on his way to work when he accidentally fell onto the tracks of Brooklyn's train as a subway was approaching. The incident resulted in the loss of both of his legs. But surprisingly, with the loss of his legs, Leykin gained a new passion for racing. Before his accident, he wasn't really that athletic. He would just occasionally play basketball. But that all changed after he was introduced to hand cycling. “When I saw it, I was like, ‘Oh, this is great. You don't even need legs to use it. This is perfect.’” he said. “So, I got on it, I rode and fell in love with it right away.” Within a few months, he completed the TD Five Boro Bike Tour, a 40-mile ride through New York City. After that, he did his first marathon in 2021. He fished that race in 2 hours and 11 minutes, placing 12th out of 38. “I'm going to attend this year's marathon and take on challenges. My hands are on the wheel, my eyes are focused, and I think my time is going to speak for itself.” he said. He's made a significant commitment to training. He hand cycles at least 13.1 miles a couple times a week and spends a lot of time in the gym. And he plans to keep pursuing his athlete goals. He wants to complete the Abbott Six-the world's six largest marathons. One day, he said, he'll maybe even make the Paralympics. For those who might be following his journey, he hopes they will take some lessons from his story. “There will be ups and downs but the trend is what's important. Focus on the good,” he said. “And also, take your big problems and split them into small solutions. And then all of a sudden, your big problems turn into many small wins.” 1．What can we learn about Rome Leykin from paragraph 2? A．He once was an excellent basketball player.
