专题02 阅读理解 记叙文 主题01 人与社会 Passage 1 （24-25高一上·河南郑州十校·期中） I was standing in the checkout line behind a woman who looked to be in her 60s. When it was her turn to pay, the salesgirl greeted her by name and asked her how she was doing. The woman looked down, shook her head and said: “Not so good. My husband just lost his job and my son is up to his old tricks again. The truth is, I don’t know how I’m going to get through the holidays.” Then she gave the salesgirl food stamps. My heart ached. I wanted to help but didn’t know how. Should I offer to pay for her food, or ask for her husband’s resume (简历)? As I walked into the parking lot, I found the woman returning her shopping cart. I remembered something in my purse that I thought could help her. It wasn’t a handful of cash or an offer of a job for her husband, but maybe it would make her life better. My heart was beating fast as I came near to the woman. “Excuse me,” I said, my voice trembling a bit. “I couldn’t help overhearing what you said to the salesgirl. It sounds like you’re going through a really hard time right now. I’m so sorry. I’d like to give you something.” I handed her the small card from my purse. When the woman read the card’s only two words, she began to cry. And through her tears, she said: “You have no idea how much this means to me.” I was a little startled by her reply. Having never done anything like this before, I didn’t know what kind of reaction I might receive. All I could think to say was: “Would it be OK to give you a hug?” After we embraced, I walked back to my car-and began to cry too. The words on the card? “You Matter.” A few weeks earlier, a friend of mine gave me a similar card as encouragement for a project I was working on. When I read the card, I felt a warm glow spread inside of me. Deeply touched, I ordered my own box of You Matter cards and started sharing them. 1.

With nearly 100,000 bags of surplus (多余的) potatoes, each weighing 100 pounds, Hofer was left thinking about what to do with millions of pounds of food. He was dysphoric and couldn’t think of a better way. It seemed that he had to let these potatoes go to waste. Luckily, some public service organizations knew about his situation and came to help in time. The Farmlink Project was the first to offer help. It turned the potential (潜在的) waste into a lifeline for families in need across North America. The Farmlink Project has been helping solve this kind of problem since it was founded four years ago. It has successfully given 220 million pounds of fresh produce to those in need across the United States and beyond. Hofer’s difficult situation also caught the attention of the Keystone Potato Producers Association. It quickly got in touch with Hofer and the Farmlink Project. They had a discussion about how to deal with these potatoes. To everyone’s surprise, Hofer agreed to give away those potatoes without expecting anything in return. After that, 115 trucks were sent to transport his potatoes to food banks in Toronto, British Columbia, San Diego, and New Mexico. Kate Nelson, chief marketing officer and co-founder of the Farmlink Project, took part in the event and saw the whole process. He said this was one of the largest donations (捐赠) the project has ever met. Reflecting on the experience, Hofer expressed his gratitude to these public service organizations and his happiness in being able to give back. “When you are blessed with so much, it’s just good to give back ... and I’m just glad we could do that,” he shared. 1.

Until one day, he makes up his mind to change. Packing his bike and some belongings, he heads out to find her. Following in the footsteps of Jack Kerouac and William Least Heat-Moon, Doane offers a story of growth about a man finding himself on the country road of America.

She played with a softball league, but her community faced several problems. One of them was a lack of available fields for practices and games. Her local league had some baseball fields, but only one softball field was available. That meant many of her practices were canceled. When the baseball teams needed room, they’d often take over the softball field, making it even harder to practice and play. Iarossi’s team would end up on a T-ball field. “A lot of girls don’t get practice, and they are dropping out,” she said. “When they couldn’t practice because they couldn’t get on the fields, they didn’t improve and finally quit because it was not fun for them anymore.” Instead of letting others deal with the problem, Iarossi decided to send a handwritten note to the city’s leader, who was a basketball star at the University of Tampa. Her goal was to get support for the cause, but it did much more. Her note inspired the city’s government to provide the funding from an entertainment company to build more fields that are accessible to everyone. “I said it’s not the 1800s anymore,” Iarossi commented. “Girls would like to play sports too.” It even led to an appearance on a well-known show to discuss her efforts. “I hope that all girls get to play softball, and that it’s just fair for all in sports.” 1. Why did many of the girl softball players give up halfway? A. They were afraid of getting on the fields. B. They found it hard to play softball well. C. They were prevented by the local league. D.

British pole vaulter (撑竿跳高运动员) Molly Caudery recalled the journey to her career in the interview. She grew up in Cornwall in the southwest of England. At 11, she fell in love with pole vault and started training. She was 13 when she specialized in the pole vault and took it seriously. She remembered doing one event in school and was by far the youngest. She was against big girls. She won that race and that was when she knew she could do something. When she was 14 years old, she only came second in a national competition. She went home and made a whole plan. She wrote down every single thing she was going to do, so she would never lose again. Then she won the World Indoor Championships, which was a huge turning point for her. She had also gone through hard times and injuries. She cut her finger pretty much entirely off at the end of 2021. She went through quite a long rehabilitation process (恢复过程). She recovered really well and had a good season. But then she had two operations (手术). It was a six-month rehabilitation.

My mother is an immigrant (移民)from China. She told me those stories so that I wouldn’t forget the culture that she had left. Even though I hadn’t ever experienced that culture at first hand, she wanted me to remember it. Of all her stories, my favourites were about Sun Wukong, the monkey king who had many superpowers. Finally, though, I moved on to other kinds of heroes. When I was in the fifth grade, I bought my first American comic book(漫画书). Afterwards Superman, Spider-Man, and Captain America took the place of Monkey King in my heart. I became crazy about comic books. I loved them so much that I went on to work towards a career in comics. Today I am a professional graphic novelist(图画小说家). My best-known book is American Born Chinese, published in 2006. Monkey King is one of my main characters, but the book isn’t a direct mixture of my mother’s stories. Instead, I invited Monkey King into my story so that I could talk about the uneasiness of growing up as an Asian American. The character I knew from my childhood expressed his emotions wholeheartedly. I needed him to emote on my pages. For research, I tracked down an English translation of Journey to the West, the centuries-old Chinese classic(经典作品)that first told the monkey king’s story. As I read it, I realised that American superheroes hadn’t taken the place of Sun Wukong in my heart after all. Superman, Spider-Man, and Captain America were simply Western expressions of everything I loved about the monkey king. The monkey king’s story has lasted for centuries and travelled across cultures. Journey to the West is the best example of timeless. My mother now has Alzheimer’s. She’s forgotten all of the stories she used to tell me, but I remember. In many ways, I’ve built my whole career on those moments before bedtime. With every comic book I create, I am trying to relive the wonder I felt when my mother told me the stories of Sun Wukong. 1. What did the author’s mother expect him to do? A. Earn a living by writing. B. Keep their Chinese culture. C. Remember stories she told him. D. Experience Chinese culture first hand. 2. What can be learnt about the book American Born Chinese? A. It encourages people to try their luck abroad. B. It is a best-seller among American born Chinese. C. It is partly inspired by the story of Sun Wukong. D. It reflects the growing pains of American children. 3. Why did the author start to read Journey to the West? A. To study it for the creation of his own works. B. To compare Western classics with Chinese ones. C. To learn the meaning of life in Journey to the West. D. To connect American superheroes with Sun Wukong. 4. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. The approach to creating comic books. B. The author’s worry about his mother. C. The author’s memory of his childhood experiences. D. The impact of Sun Wukong on the author’s writing. Passage 3 （24-25高一上·河南罗山·期中） Danielle Steel, America’ s sweetheart, is one of the hardest working women in the book business. Unlike other productive (多产的) authors who write one book at a time, she can work on up to five. Her research time before writing takes at least three years. Once she has fully studied her subjects, ready to dive into a book, she can spend twenty hours nonstop at her desk. Danielle Steel comes from New York and was sent to France for her education. After graduation, she worked in the public relations and advertising industries. Later she started a job as a writer which she was best fit for. Her achievements are unbelievable: 390 million copies of books in print, nearly fifty New York Times best-selling novels, and a series of “Max and Martha” picture books for children to help them deal with the real-life problems of death, new babies and new schools. Her 1998 book about the death of her son shot to the top of the New York Times best-selling list as soon as it came out. Twenty-eight of her books have been made into films. She is listed in the Guinness Book of World Records for one of her books being the Times best-seller for 381 weeks straight. Not content with a big house, a loving family, and a view of the Golden Gate Bridge, Danielle Steel considers her readers to be the most important resource (资源) and has kept in touch with them by e-mail. While she is often compared to the heroines (女主人公) of her own invention, her life is undoubtedly much quieter. But, if she does have anything in common with them, it is her strength of will and her inimitable (独特的) style. There is only one Danielle Steel. 1. Danielle Steel is different from other writers in that ________. A. she can write several books at the same time B. she often does some research before writing a book C. she is one of the most popular American women writers D. she can keep writing for quite a long time without a break 2.

According to the passage, which sentence is right? A. Danielle Steel writes about quiet women. B. Danielle Steel lives an exciting life. C. Both Danielle Steel and her heroines are unique. D. Danielle Steel is pleased with her achievements. Passage 4 （24-25高一上·河南罗山·期中） When it comes to friends, I desire those who will share my happiness, who possess (拥有) wings of their own and who will fly with me. I seek friends whose qualities illuminate (照亮) me and train me up for love. It is for these people that I reserve the glowing hours, too good not to share. When I was in the eighth grade, I had a friend. We were shy and “too serious” about our studies when it was becoming fashionable with our classmates to learn acceptable social behaviors. We said little at school, but she would come to my house and we would sit down with pencils and paper, and one of us would say: “Let’s start with a train whistle today.” We would sit quietly together and write separate poems or stories that grew out of a train whistle. Then we would read them aloud. At the end of that school year, we, too, were changing into social creatures and the stories and poems stopped. When I lived for a time in London, I had a friend. He was in despair (失望) and I was in despair. But our friendship was based on the idea in each of us that we would be sorry later if we did not explore this great city because we had felt bad at the time. We met every Sunday for five weeks and found many excellent things. We walked until our despairs disappeared and then we parted. We gave London to each other. For almost four years I have had a remarkable friend whose imagination illuminates mine. We write long letters in which we often discover our strangest selves. Each of us appears, sometimes in a funny way, in the other’s dreams. She and I agree that, at certain times, we seem to be parts of the same mind. In my most interesting moments, I often think: “Yes, I must tell...” We have never met. It is such comforting companions I wish to keep. One bright hour with their kind is worth more to me than the lifetime services of a psychologist (心理学家), who will only fill up the healing silence necessary to those darkest moments in which I would rather be my own best friend. 1. In the eighth grade, what the author did before developing proper social behavior was to ________ A. become serious about her study B. go to her friend’s house regularly C. share poems and stories with her friend D. learn from her classmates at school 2.

A. we were unwilling to tear ourselves away from London B. our exploration of London was a memorable gift to both of us C. our unpleasant feeling about London disappeared D. we parted with each other in London 3. In the darkest moments, the author would prefer to ________. A. seek professional help B. break the silence C. stay with her best friend D. be left alone 4. What is the best title for the passage? A. Unforgettable Experiences B. Remarkable Imagination C. Great Companions D. Lifelong Friendship Passage 5 （24-25高一上·河南新未来·期中） The first time I met Jane, we became best friends. We enjoyed the same things. We were excited to find each other. Our families became friends and everyone knew wherever you found Jane, you found me. Jane was at my house quite often that summer. We played and practised flutes (长笛) . When school began, we talked on the phone and went over to each other’s houses. Then it seemed as if we were put to a test. We both made new friends. Jane started to hang out with hers. We seldom talked on the phone. When we did take a minute to talk, one of her new friends would come up and Jane would walk away with her, leaving me hurt. I’m sure she didn’t know how bad I felt. I began to hang around with my new friends, but it wasn’t the same. I met Erma, also a friend of Jane’s. She was in the same situation. We decided to talk to Jane. The call was not easy. However, when we talked on the phone, we were friends again. I explained my feelings and so did she. I realized I was not the only one hurting. She also felt left out. There were times when I didn’t even notice I was ignoring (忽视) her. We talked for a long time and I felt a heavy weight lifted off my heart. I felt so happy. We decided we wanted to be with our new friends, but would never forget the fun and friendship we had. Today, I look back on all of this. Jane is not my best friend anymore, but more like my sister. We still enjoy the same things. Jane taught me that things change, people change but it doesn’t mean you forget the past. It simply means you move on and treasure all the memories. 1.

Lucas was not like the others because he suffered from a disease known as bumble foot, which includes a range of bad foot conditions that stop animals from standing upright, and a lack of treatment can lead to possible death. For Lucas, life had been a series of treatments and disappointments (失望). The zoo’s team had tried everything, but nothing seemed to work on his disease. Dr. Beth Bicknese, a member of the zoo’s team, said, “I’ve looked after Lucas for years. I am very sad when Lucas develops pains.” Then, there was a hope. The zoo’s team got the help of Thera-Paw, a company that designs products to help animals move better. “The orthopedic shoes (矫形鞋) from Thera- Paw help Lucas to fully join the group and show behaviors that are more typical for a penguin — such as climbing the rocks, swimming, nesting and finding a suitable mate,” said Dr. Beth Bicknese. Debbie Denton, a senior wildlife care specialist in the team, was there when Lucas first put on his shoes. “We were pleasantly surprised to see the immediate change in him,” she said. “Seeing him move about now gives us hope that he may be OK going forward and able to live a full life.” With every step Lucas took, he walked better, stood up straighter, and was more balanced. The rocky place that was hard to move around before was now fun to explore for Lucas. 1. How did the disease affect Lucas? A. He couldn’t stand upright. B. He was unable to lie down. C.

It was clear that the kid across from me was flying alone, too. She was singing a song to herself softly. Imagining if my two daughters were traveling alone, they might feel helpless and want others to talk with them, I decided to make conversation. “What are you singing about, honey?” “Oh that,” she said, clearly happy to have someone to talk to. “Well, Grandma’s always surprised when I visit by plane. You know, how far you can come and how fast. I don’t think they had many planes when she was little. I mean, seriously, they had a horse. Anyway, Grandma would tell me that she’d think of me from time to time and say to herself, ‘I wonder where you are. I wonder where you are going.’ Then she’d always add, ‘Someplace important, I’m sure!’ So I made it into a song for us. I love my grandma.” “Right now I’m on my way to Grandma’s house and I’m just singing that song to myself and thinking the same about her, ‘I wonder where you are. I wonder where you are going.’ That’s all.” “Wow,” I said. “That’s really sweet. So, is it just you and Grandma or is your mom or dad coming out later?” “Oh, everyone will be there and Mom’s s been there for two weeks already, making arrangements (安排).” “Arrangements?” “For Grandma’s funeral (葬礼).” All of a sudden, I was like being hit in the stomach. It seemed something was stuck in my throat (喉咙) and I realized what she’d been singing, “I wonder where you are...” about her Grandma who’d been gone. Sometimes when I see a family at the supermarket or ice cream stand, I’ll think of that kid and start singing her song — I wonder where you are. I wonder where you’re going.

This year, out of 300,000 applicants, around 45,000 were chosen as volunteers, with 20 percent coming from nearly 150 countries. These volunteers wore bright green uniforms (制服) to be easily noticed in the purple venues (场馆). They offered help to viewers and media alike, making them an important part of the Olympic experience. On my first day as a reporter, I met a technical problem with my media system account. Thankfully, Chinese volunteer Guo came to help me out. “I hope to improve my language, communication skills, and problem- solving methods through this event,” said 24-year-old Guo from Wuhan, Central China’s Hubei Province, who was studying wireless communication at the Paris Institute of Digital Technology. As a former professional swimmer, Guo saw this as her chance to take part in the Olympics, though in a different role. Another Chinese volunteer, Yang, faced challenges in managing her job and volunteer duties. Despite giving up her holidays, she felt great pride in contributing to the event. One of my most memorable experiences was meeting with a French volunteer. When I needed help to find the visitor center, a young man on a scooter (小型摩托车) appeared, like a sort of “Monkey King riding a cloud”, and offered to take me there. After helping me, he expressed his admiration for the Beijing Olympics and his desire to visit China again. Volunteers like them were seen everywhere — from bus stops to competition venues — offering directions and helping with a smile. When large crowds left the venues after the events, causing overcrowding, some volunteers sat on high chairs with loudspeakers, providing directions to go outside in both English and French with a smile. These amazing volunteers, truly show the Olympic spirit, making the event and Paris shine even brighter. 1. Why might the volunteers wear bright green uniforms? A. To stand out in the crowd. B. To show love for athletes. C. To fit in with the venues. D. To stand for their countries. 2. What do we know about Guo? A. She found it hard to balance her job and volunteer work. B. She both swam and volunteered in the Paris Olympics. C. She wanted to improve herself through volunteer work. D. She wasn’t as patient and helpful as the French volunteer. 3. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To doubt the organization of the Paris Olympics, B. To praise the service of Paris Olympic volunteers. C. To show the meaning of hosting Olympic Games. D. To provide a detailed schedule of Olympic events. 4. How is the text mainly developed? A. By listing the benefits of volunteer work. B. By discussing historical Olympic events. C. By comparing different views on Olympics. D. By sharing personal stories and experiences. 主题02 人与自我 Passage 1 （24-25高一上·河南九师联盟·期中） Tom Turcich, an adventurer from New Jersey, returned to his hometown with his dog, Savannah, after traveling around the world for seven years. They were greeted by a huge homecoming celebration in Haddon Township with Turcich officially becoming the 10th person on record to walk around the world, and Savannah the first dog to do so. While he was thrilled to have won the honour, Turcich stressed that this was never really his goal. The journey had seen the pair walk across 38 countries, including Chile, Panama and Kazakhstan, together. Turcich remained extremely happy for the next three months as he took in his unbelievable achievement. “Crossing the finish line felt like paradise,” he said. “And everything was perfect.” However, as that real high began to fade (消退), he faced a difficult reality. “Life goes on,” he noted, realizing how hard it was to adjust to life without the focus of his journey. “I had this realization when I was walking to the park with Savannah,” he said. “This thing that had been my life forever was over. But then life kept going on, and you can just live life without this greater purpose. And then it became really difficult.” Things came to a head when he moved to Seattle with Savannah. Since completing the challenge, he’s been contacted (联系) by others who hope to achieve the same thing. So Turcich wrote the book The World Walk about his experiences during the amazing trip. Turcich said his main goal was to encourage people to be a little more curious about places and a little more trusting of the world. “I just create a book that readers would enjoy,” he added. “Just tell a good story about a man and his dog walking around the world.” 1.

How did Turcich feel when the happiness of success faded? A. Promising. B. Overproud. C. Purposeless. D. Undervalued. 4. Why did Turcich write the book? A. To encourage others to explore the world. B. To tell people how to create fun stories. C. To show the hardships he faced in the trip. D. To share useful tips on raising cute dogs. Passage 2 （24-25高一上·河南焦作博爱·期中） Basketball had always been a huge part of my life ever since I was little, and it had been my favorite sport until high school. I was captain of the team in my second year of high school. I felt I had to do very well. The stress I put myself under was unhealthy: I felt as if I couldn’t make mistakes, and that stopped me enjoying the game I once loved. I finished my second-year basketball season and had no fun at all. My Spanish teacher came up to me after my second-year basketball season, asking if I had ever thought about playing Unified (融合的) Basketball. Unified Sports joins people with intellectual or physical disabilities (智力或身体缺陷) (called Athletes), and people without disabilities (called Partners), on the same team. The main goal is to build friendships and encourage inclusivity. I had thought about it before, but there was a rule that said I couldn’t play Unified if I played basketball for the school. So, I finally decided to quit school basketball. Quitting basketball was not easy. I received strong opposition from my parents and the coaches as well as my friends who were on the team. It was not a popular or traditional decision, but I knew it was the right one for me. Walking into my first Unified practice, I did not know what to expect. I awkwardly (尴尬地) introduced myself to a few of the Unified Athletes, but after the first day, it already seemed like we were becoming a family. We won a lot of games, but we also had the most fun I’ve ever had. All the stress I used to feel disappeared when I played with them. Seeing the Athletes score their first points of the season and then dance down the whole court excitedly is one of my favorite basketball memories. Unified Sports opened my eyes to how much more there is to sports than winning and losing. The Athletes on the team thought that I was there to help them, but they did not know how much they helped me. 1. How did the author find playing basketball in his second year of high school? A. It did no good to his physical health. B. It took up too much of his free time. C. It needed some special skills. D. It brought him too much pressure. 2. What was the reaction of the author’s parents to his decision to quit basketball? A. They were against it. B. They thought it was right for him. C. They introduced another coach to the author. D. They took the author to hospital. 3. How did the author feel after taking up Unified Basketball? A. Awkward and silly. B. Stressed and bored. C. Safe and confident. D. Relaxed and happy. 4. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. My Love of Basketball B. Unified Sports Changed My Life C. My Memories of Playing Basketball D. Sports Helped Me Make Lasting Friendships Passage 3 （24-25高一上·河南顶级名校·期中） When I was 9, we packed up our home in Los Angeles and arrived at Heathrow, London on a gray January morning. Everyone in the family settled quickly into the city except me. Without my beloved beaches and endless blue—sky days, I felt at a loss and out of place. Until I made a discovery. Southbank, at an eastern bend in the Thames, is the center of British skateboarding, where the continuous crashing of skateboards left your head ringing .I loved it. I soon made friends with the local skaters. We spoke our own language. And my favorite: Safe. Safe meant cool. It meant hello. It meant don’t worry about it. Once, when trying a certain trick on the beam(横杆), I fell onto the stones, damaging a nerve in my hand, and Toby came over, helping me up: Safe, man. Safe. A few minutes later, when I landed the trick, my friends beat their boards loud, shouting: “ Safe! Safe! Safe!” And that’s what mattered—landing tricks, being a good skater. When I was 15, my family moved to Washington. I tried skateboarding there, but the locals were far less welcoming. Within a couple of years, I’d given it up. When I returned to London in 2004, I found myself wandering down to Southbank, spending hours there. I’ve traveled back several times since, most recently this past spring. The day was cold but clear: tourists and Londoners stopped to watch the skaters. Weaving(穿梭)among the kids who rushed by on their boards, I found my way to the beam. Then a rail—thin teenager, in a baggy white T—shirt, skidded(滑)up to the beam. He sat next to me. He seemed not to notice the man next to him. But soon I caught a few of his glances. “I was a local here 20 years ago,” I told him. Then, slowly, he began to nod his head. “Safe, man. Safe.” “Yeah,” I said. “Safe.” 1. What can we learn about the author soon after he moved to London? A. He felt disappointed. B. He gave up his hobby. C. He liked the weather there. D. He had disagreements with his family. 2. What do the underlined words “Safe! Safe! Safe!” probably mean? A. Be careful! B. Well done! C. No way! D. Don’t worry! 3. Why did the author like to spend time in Southbank when he returned to London? A. To join the skateboarding. B. To make new friends. C. To learn more tricks. D. To relive his childhood days 4. What message does the author seem to convey in the text? A. Children should learn a second language. B. Sport is necessary for children’s health. C. Children need a sense of belonging D. Seeing the world is a must for children. Passage 4 （24-25高一上·河南潢川·期中） The best days of my life were spent when I was in my 20s, mostly because it was when I met lots of my lifelong friends. I was living in Charlottesville and in a house next door to one of my best friends and downstairs from another. The years there were amazing. We were surrounded by my favorite people, having drinks, laughing and dancing late into the night. Plenty of time has passed since then. Now my husband and I have two kids and we live in New Jersey. My friends have also found their life partners — one still lives in Virginia and the other lives near D. C. We make sure to see each other three times a year, so often that our children believed they were cousins. We happily call each one of these trips “Family Vacation” because family seems like a better analogy (比喻) for our relationship than friends. Family is obviously very important, but ”family” can be just as important or even more important if you don’t have a lot of actual family around. But why are close friendships so important? And why do we need then in the first place? There are many advantages to having friends. Scientists have reasoned that friendships must have some benefits for humans and animals. Although scientists don’t like to use the word “friend” when they talk about animals, there is evidence that some animals do have friends. Any pet owner knows that animals like having playmates. Play is quite common in many animals, and there is evidence that playing with friends might help with brain development. In fact, play is most prevalent among animals with large brains, and the period when animals are most likely to play also happens to be the time when the largest amount of brain growth happens. 1. What did the author treasure most when she was in her 20s? A. Living with her family. B. Having a wonderful job. C. Staying with her best friends. D. Studying in her dream university. 2. Why did the children believe they were cousins? A. They looked alike, B. They had the same hobbies. C. They were told about it. D. They often visited each other. 3. What is the function of playing with friends according to the passage? A. It helps brains develop. B. It holds friends together. C. It largely reduces pressure. D. It makes people stay healthy. 4. What does the underlined word “prevalent” mean in the last paragraph? A. Unusual. B. Popular. C. Unbelievable. D. Suitable. 主题03 人与自然 Passage 1 （24-25高一上·河南顶级名校·期中） By day, Robert Titterton is a lawyer. In his spare time though he goes on stage beside pianist Maria Raspopova — not as a musician but as her page turner. “I’m not a trained musician, but I’ve learnt to read music so I can help Maria in her performance.” Mr Titterton is chairman of the Omega Ensemble but has been the group’s official page turner for the past four years. His job is to sit beside the pianist and turn the pages of the score so the musician doesn’t have to break the flow of sound by doing it themselves. He said he became just as nervous as those playing instruments on stage. “A lot of skills are needed for the job. You have to make sure you don’t turn two pages at once and make sure you find the repeats in the music when you have to go back to the right spot.” Mr Titterton explained. Being a page turner requires plenty of practice. Some pieces of music can go for 40 minutes and require up to 50 page turns, including back turns for repeat passages. Silent onstage communication is key, and each pianist has their own style of “nodding” to indicate a page turn which they need to practise with their page turner. But like all performances, there are moments when things go wrong. “I was turning the page to get ready for the next page, but the draft wind from the turn caused the spare pages to fall off the stand,” Mr Titterton said, “Luckily I was able to catch them and put them back.” Most page turners are piano students or up-and-coming concert pianists, although Ms Raspopova has once asked her husband to help her out on stage. “My husband is the worst page turner,” she laughed. “He’s interested in the music, feeling every note, and I have to say: ‘Turn, turn!’ Robert is the best page turner I’ve had in my entire life.” 1. What should Titterton be able to do to be a page turner? A. Read music. B. Play the piano. C. Sing songs. D. Fix the instruments. 2. Which of the following best describes Titterton’s job on stage? A. Boring. B. Well-paid. C. Demanding. D. Dangerous. 3. What does Titterton need to practise? A. Counting the pages. B. Recognizing the “nodding”. C. Catching falling objects. D. Performing in his own style. 4. Why is Ms Raspopova’s husband “the worst page turner”? A. He has very poor eyesight. B. He ignores the audience. C. He has no interest in music. D. He forgets to do his job. / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 专题02 阅读理解 记叙文 主题01 人与社会 Passage 1 （24-25高一上·河南郑州十校·期中） I was standing in the checkout line behind a woman who looked to be in her 60s. When it was her turn to pay, the salesgirl greeted her by name and asked her how she was doing. The woman looked down, shook her head and said: “Not so good. My husband just lost his job and my son is up to his old tricks again. The truth is, I don’t know how I’m going to get through the holidays.” Then she gave the salesgirl food stamps. My heart ached. I wanted to help but didn’t know how. Should I offer to pay for her food, or ask for her husband’s resume (简历)? As I walked into the parking lot, I found the woman returning her shopping cart. I remembered something in my purse that I thought could help her. It wasn’t a handful of cash or an offer of a job for her husband, but maybe it would make her life better. My heart was beating fast as I came near to the woman. “Excuse me,” I said, my voice trembling a bit. “I couldn’t help overhearing what you said to the salesgirl. It sounds like you’re going through a really hard time right now. I’m so sorry. I’d like to give you something.” I handed her the small card from my purse. When the woman read the card’s only two words, she began to cry. And through her tears, she said: “You have no idea how much this means to me.” I was a little startled by her reply. Having never done anything like this before, I didn’t know what kind of reaction I might receive. All I could think to say was: “Would it be OK to give you a hug?” After we embraced, I walked back to my car-and began to cry too. The words on the card? “You Matter.” A few weeks earlier, a friend of mine gave me a similar card as encouragement for a project I was working on.

With nearly 100,000 bags of surplus (多余的) potatoes, each weighing 100 pounds, Hofer was left thinking about what to do with millions of pounds of food. He was dysphoric and couldn’t think of a better way. It seemed that he had to let these potatoes go to waste. Luckily, some public service organizations knew about his situation and came to help in time. The Farmlink Project was the first to offer help. It turned the potential (潜在的) waste into a lifeline for families in need across North America. The Farmlink Project has been helping solve this kind of problem since it was founded four years ago. It has successfully given 220 million pounds of fresh produce to those in need across the United States and beyond. Hofer’s difficult situation also caught the attention of the Keystone Potato Producers Association. It quickly got in touch with Hofer and the Farmlink Project. They had a discussion about how to deal with these potatoes. To everyone’s surprise, Hofer agreed to give away those potatoes without expecting anything in return. After that, 115 trucks were sent to transport his potatoes to food banks in Toronto, British Columbia, San Diego, and New Mexico. Kate Nelson, chief marketing officer and co-founder of the Farmlink Project, took part in the event and saw the whole process. He said this was one of the largest donations (捐赠) the project has ever met. Reflecting on the experience, Hofer expressed his gratitude to these public service organizations and his happiness in being able to give back. “When you are blessed with so much, it’s just good to give back ... and I’m just glad we could do that,” he shared. 1.

She played with a softball league, but her community faced several problems. One of them was a lack of available fields for practices and games. Her local league had some baseball fields, but only one softball field was available. That meant many of her practices were canceled. When the baseball teams needed room, they’d often take over the softball field, making it even harder to practice and play. Iarossi’s team would end up on a T-ball field. “A lot of girls don’t get practice, and they are dropping out,” she said. “When they couldn’t practice because they couldn’t get on the fields, they didn’t improve and finally quit because it was not fun for them anymore.” Instead of letting others deal with the problem, Iarossi decided to send a handwritten note to the city’s leader, who was a basketball star at the University of Tampa. Her goal was to get support for the cause, but it did much more. Her note inspired the city’s government to provide the funding from an entertainment company to build more fields that are accessible to everyone. “I said it’s not the 1800s anymore,” Iarossi commented. “Girls would like to play sports too.” It even led to an appearance on a well-known show to discuss her efforts. “I hope that all girls get to play softball, and that it’s just fair for all in sports.” 1. Why did many of the girl softball players give up halfway? A. They were afraid of getting on the fields. B. They found it hard to play softball well. C. They were prevented by the local league. D. They lacked practice fields. 2. Who helped Iarossi solve the problem? A. The University of Tampa. B. The local community. C. An entertainment company. D. A basketball star. 3.

Along the way, there are key milestones that every athlete passes. British pole vaulter (撑竿跳高运动员) Molly Caudery recalled the journey to her career in the interview. She grew up in Cornwall in the southwest of England. At 11, she fell in love with pole vault and started training. She was 13 when she specialized in the pole vault and took it seriously. She remembered doing one event in school and was by far the youngest. She was against big girls. She won that race and that was when she knew she could do something. When she was 14 years old, she only came second in a national competition. She went home and made a whole plan. She wrote down every single thing she was going to do, so she would never lose again. Then she won the World Indoor Championships, which was a huge turning point for her. She had also gone through hard times and injuries. She cut her finger pretty much entirely off at the end of 2021. She went through quite a long rehabilitation process (恢复过程). She recovered really well and had a good season. But then she had two operations (手术). It was a six-month rehabilitation. She ended up coming back and jumping 4.75m to finish fifth at the World Championships. Those hard times made her stronger and a better athlete. She was a 4.75m jumper last year and this year she has gone over 4.80m eight times. She had been injury free for a whole season and she managed to train a lot. Finally, she won the Toulouse Capitole Perche meet in France on Saturday (22 June, 2024) with a height of 4.92m. 1. When did Molly Caudery seriously consider her gift for pole vaulter? A. At 11. B.

She won that race and that was when she knew she could do something.(她13岁时专攻撑杆跳，并认真对待。她记得在学校参加过一次比赛，是迄今为止最年轻的。她和大个子女孩们竞争。她赢得了那场比赛，就在那时，她知道自己可以做点什么)”可知，Molly Caudery从13岁开始发现自己在撑竿跳高上有天赋。故选B。 【2题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“When she was 14 years old, she only came second in a national competition. She went home and made a whole plan. She wrote down every single thing she was going to do, so she would never lose again.(当她14岁时，她只在全国比赛中获得第二名。她回家后制定了一个完整的计划。她把要做的每一件事都写下来，这样她就再也不会输了)”可知，Molly Caudery在面对失败时，回家制订完整的计划，详细记录每一件将要做的事。由此可推知，Molly Caudery是意志坚强的。故选B。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段最后一句中的“It was a six-month rehabilitation.

(这是一个为期六个月的康复期。她最终回来了，跳了4.75米，在世锦赛上获得第五名。那些艰难的时刻让她变得更强壮，成为一名更好的运动员)”可知，困难使Molly Caudery变成了一个更强，更好的运动员。故选D。 【4题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“The road to sporting success often leads through ups and downs.

My mother is an immigrant (移民)from China. She told me those stories so that I wouldn’t forget the culture that she had left. Even though I hadn’t ever experienced that culture at first hand, she wanted me to remember it. Of all her stories, my favourites were about Sun Wukong, the monkey king who had many superpowers. Finally, though, I moved on to other kinds of heroes. When I was in the fifth grade, I bought my first American comic book(漫画书). Afterwards Superman, Spider-Man, and Captain America took the place of Monkey King in my heart. I became crazy about comic books. I loved them so much that I went on to work towards a career in comics. Today I am a professional graphic novelist(图画小说家). My best-known book is American Born Chinese, published in 2006. Monkey King is one of my main characters, but the book isn’t a direct mixture of my mother’s stories. Instead, I invited Monkey King into my story so that I could talk about the uneasiness of growing up as an Asian American. The character I knew from my childhood expressed his emotions wholeheartedly. I needed him to emote on my pages. For research, I tracked down an English translation of Journey to the West, the centuries-old Chinese classic(经典作品)that first told the monkey king’s story. As I read it, I realised that American superheroes hadn’t taken the place of Sun Wukong in my heart after all. Superman, Spider-Man, and Captain America were simply Western expressions of everything I loved about the monkey king. The monkey king’s story has lasted for centuries and travelled across cultures. Journey to the West is the best example of timeless. My mother now has Alzheimer’s. She’s forgotten all of the stories she used to tell me, but I remember. In many ways, I’ve built my whole career on those moments before bedtime. With every comic book I create, I am trying to relive the wonder I felt when my mother told me the stories of Sun Wukong. 1. What did the author’s mother expect him to do? A. Earn a living by writing. B. Keep their Chinese culture. C. Remember stories she told him. D. Experience Chinese culture first hand. 2. What can be learnt about the book American Born Chinese? A. It encourages people to try their luck abroad. B. It is a best-seller among American born Chinese. C. It is partly inspired by the story of Sun Wukong. D. It reflects the growing pains of American children. 3. Why did the author start to read Journey to the West? A. To study it for the creation of his own works. B. To compare Western classics with Chinese ones. C. To learn the meaning of life in Journey to the West. D. To connect American superheroes with Sun Wukong. 4. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. The approach to creating comic books. B. The author’s worry about his mother. C. The author’s memory of his childhood experiences. D. The impact of Sun Wukong on the author’s writing. 【答案】1. B 2. C 3. A 4. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者小时候母亲通过给作者讲中国民间故事，来希望作者不要忘记自己的文化。其中作者最喜欢孙悟空的故事，孙悟空也很大程度影响了作者的人生。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“She told me those stories so that I wouldn’t forget the culture that she had left.(她给我讲这些故事是为了让我不会忘记她留下的文化)”可知，作者的母亲希望他保持文化根基。故选B项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“My most well-known book is American Born Chinese, published in 2006. Monkey King is one of my main characters, but the book isn’t direct adaptation of my mother’s stories.(我最著名的书是2006年出版的《美国出生的中国人》。孙悟空是我的主要角色之一，但这本书并不是直接改编自我母亲的故事。)”和 第四段“Instead, I invited Monkey King into my story so that I could talk about the uneasiness of growing up as an Asian American. The character I knew from my childhood expressed his emotions without reservation. I needed him to emote on my pages.(相反，我邀请孙悟空进入我的故事，这样我就可以谈谈作为一个亚裔美国人成长的不安。这个我从小就认识的人物毫无保留地表达了自己的情感。我需要他在我的页面上表达。)”可知，《美国出生的中国人》这本书的部分灵感来自孙悟空的故事。故选C项。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“For research, I tracked down an English translation of Journey to the West, the centuries-old Chinese classic(经典作品)that first told the monkey king’s story.(为了进行研究，我找到了《西游记》的英文译本，这是一部有着数百年历史的中国经典，首次讲述了猴王的故事。)”以及上文可知，作者开始阅读《西游记》来研究它，为创作自己的作品。故选A项。 【4题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“My mother now has Alzheimer’s. She’s forgotten all of the stories she used to tell me, but I remember. In many ways, I’ve built my whole career on those moments before bedtime. With every comic book I create, I am trying to relive the wonder I felt when my mother told me the stories of Sun Wukong.(我妈妈现在患有阿尔茨海默氏症。她已经忘记了她以前给我讲的所有故事，但我记得。在很多方面，我的整个职业生涯都建立在睡前的那些时刻。我创作的每一本漫画书，都试图重温母亲给我讲孙悟空故事时的那种惊奇。)”可知，最后一段主要讲孙悟空的故事对作者的影响。故选D项。 Passage 3 （24-25高一上·河南罗山·期中） Danielle Steel, America’ s sweetheart, is one of the hardest working women in the book business. Unlike other productive (多产的) authors who write one book at a time, she can work on up to five. Her research time before writing takes at least three years. Once she has fully studied her subjects, ready to dive into a book, she can spend twenty hours nonstop at her desk. Danielle Steel comes from New York and was sent to France for her education. After graduation, she worked in the public relations and advertising industries. Later she started a job as a writer which she was best fit for. Her achievements are unbelievable: 390 million copies of books in print, nearly fifty New York Times best-selling novels, and a series of “Max and Martha” picture books for children to help them deal with the real-life problems of death, new babies and new schools. Her 1998 book about the death of her son shot to the top of the New York Times best-selling list as soon as it came out. Twenty-eight of her books have been made into films. She is listed in the Guinness Book of World Records for one of her books being the Times best-seller for 381 weeks straight. Not content with a big house, a loving family, and a view of the Golden Gate Bridge, Danielle Steel considers her readers to be the most important resource (资源) and has kept in touch with them by e-mail. While she is often compared to the heroines (女主人公) of her own invention, her life is undoubtedly much quieter. But, if she does have anything in common with them, it is her strength of will and her inimitable (独特的) style. There is only one Danielle Steel. 1. Danielle Steel is different from other writers in that ________. A. she can write several books at the same time B. she often does some research before writing a book C. she is one of the most popular American women writers D. she can keep writing for quite a long time without a break 2.

C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了美国作家Danielle Steel生平和成就，包括她的高产写作、深入研究和多部畅销书，以及她与读者的密切联系。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段中“Unlike other productive (多产的) authors who write one book at a time, she can work on up to five. (与其他一次只写一本书的高产作家不同，她最多可以写五本书)”可知，Danielle Steel与众不同之处在于她可以同时写多本书。故选A。 【2题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段中“Her achievements are unbelievable: 390 million copies of books in print, nearly fifty New York Times best-selling novels, and a series of “Max and Martha” picture books for children to help them deal with the real-life problems of death, new babies and new schools. (她的成就令人难以置信：出版了3.9亿册图书，近50本《纽约时报》畅销小说，以及一系列“麦克斯和玛莎”图画书，帮助孩子们应对死亡、新生儿和新学校等现实生活中的问题)”可知，看过《麦克斯和玛莎》图画书的孩子可能知道当新生儿出生在他们的家庭时该怎么办。故选B。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段中“Her 1998 book about the death of her son shot to the top of the New York Times best-selling list as soon as it came out. (1998年，她写了一本关于她儿子之死的书，一经出版就登上了《纽约时报》畅销书排行榜的榜首)”可知，她1998年写的书登上了《纽约时报》畅销书排行榜。故选D。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段中“While she is often compared to the heroines (女主人公) of her own invention, her life is undoubtedly much quieter. But, if she does have anything in common with them, it is her strength of will and her inimitable (独特的) style. There is only one Danielle Steel. (虽然她经常被拿来与她自己创造的女主人公相比，但她的生活无疑要安静得多。但是，如果说她和他们有什么共同之处的话，那就是她的意志力和她独特的风格。只有一个丹妮尔·斯蒂尔)”可知，Danielle Steel和她的女主角都有独特之处。故选C。 Passage 4 （24-25高一上·河南罗山·期中） When it comes to friends, I desire those who will share my happiness, who possess (拥有) wings of their own and who will fly with me. I seek friends whose qualities illuminate (照亮) me and train me up for love. It is for these people that I reserve the glowing hours, too good not to share. When I was in the eighth grade, I had a friend. We were shy and “too serious” about our studies when it was becoming fashionable with our classmates to learn acceptable social behaviors. We said little at school, but she would come to my house and we would sit down with pencils and paper, and one of us would say: “Let’s start with a train whistle today.” We would sit quietly together and write separate poems or stories that grew out of a train whistle. Then we would read them aloud. At the end of that school year, we, too, were changing into social creatures and the stories and poems stopped. When I lived for a time in London, I had a friend. He was in despair (失望) and I was in despair. But our friendship was based on the idea in each of us that we would be sorry later if we did not explore this great city because we had felt bad at the time. We met every Sunday for five weeks and found many excellent things. We walked until our despairs disappeared and then we parted. We gave London to each other. For almost four years I have had a remarkable friend whose imagination illuminates mine. We write long letters in which we often discover our strangest selves. Each of us appears, sometimes in a funny way, in the other’s dreams. She and I agree that, at certain times, we seem to be parts of the same mind. In my most interesting moments, I often think: “Yes, I must tell...” We have never met. It is such comforting companions I wish to keep. One bright hour with their kind is worth more to me than the lifetime services of a psychologist (心理学家), who will only fill up the healing silence necessary to those darkest moments in which I would rather be my own best friend. 1. In the eighth grade, what the author did before developing proper social behavior was to ________ A. become serious about her study B. go to her friend’s house regularly C. share poems and stories with her friend D. learn from her classmates at school 2. In Paragraph 3, “We gave London to each other” probably means “________”. A. we were unwilling to tear ourselves away from London B. our exploration of London was a memorable gift to both of us C. our unpleasant feeling about London disappeared D. we parted with each other in London 3. In the darkest moments, the author would prefer to ________. A. seek professional help B. break the silence C. stay with her best friend D. be left alone 4. What is the best title for the passage? A. Unforgettable Experiences B. Remarkable Imagination C. Great Companions D. Lifelong Friendship 【答案】1. C 2. B 3. D 4. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了作者的三位很棒的朋友，在不同的人生阶段给了作者欣喜、安慰、勇气和力量，陪伴作者成长。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“When I was in the eighth grade, I had a friend. We were shy and “too serious” about our studies when it was becoming fashionable with our classmates to learn acceptable social behaviors. We said little at school, but she would come to my house and we would sit down with pencils and paper, and one of us would say: “Let’s start with a train whistle today.” We would sit quietly together and write separate poems or stories that grew out of a train whistle. Then we would read them aloud. At the end of that school year, we, too, were changing into social creatures and the stories and poems stopped.(当我在八年级的时候，我有一个朋友。当学习可接受的社会行为成为同学们的时尚时，我们很害羞，对学习“太认真”了。我们在学校很少说话，但她会来我家，我们会坐下来拿着铅笔和纸，我们中的一个会说：“让我们从今天的火车汽笛开始。”我们会安静地坐在一起，分别写由火车汽笛声产生的诗歌或故事。然后我们大声朗读。在那个学年结束时，我们也变成了社会生物，故事和诗歌也停止了)”可知，在八年级时，作者会和朋友静静地坐在一起，分享各自的诗或故事，由此可知，在八年级时，作者在培养适当的社会行为之前所做的是与她的朋友分享诗歌和故事。故选C项。 【2题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段“But our friendship was based on the idea in each of us that we would be sorry later if we did not explore this great city because we had felt bad at the time. We met every Sunday for five weeks and found many excellent things. (但我们的友谊是基于我们每个人的想法，如果我们不探索这座伟大的城市，我们以后会后悔的，因为我们当时感觉很糟糕。在接下来的五周里，我们每个星期天都会见面，发现了许多很棒的东西)”可知，我们一起探索伦敦这座伟大的城市，这让我们成为了朋友，也给我们留下了难忘的美好回忆，由此可知，“We gave London to each other”可能意味着“我们对伦敦的探索对我们俩来说都是一份难忘的礼物”。故选B项。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“One bright hour with their kind is worth more to me than the lifetime services of a psychologist (心理学家), who will only fill up the healing silence necessary to those darkest moments in which I would rather be my own best friend. (对我来说，与他们共度一个美好的时光比心理学家的终身服务更有价值，心理学家只会填补那些最黑暗的时刻所需的治愈沉默，在这些时刻，我宁愿做自己最好的朋友)”可知，在那些最黑暗的时刻，作者宁愿做自己最好的朋友，由此可知，在最黑暗的时刻，作者宁愿独自待着。故选D项。 【4题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，结合最后一段“It is such comforting companions I wish to keep. (这是我想留下的令人感到安慰的伙伴。)”可知，本文作者介绍了三位很棒的朋友，在不同的人生阶段给了作者欣喜、安慰、勇气和力量，陪伴作者成长，“Great Companions”意为“伟大的伙伴”，能够概括文章主要内容。故选C项。 Passage 5 （24-25高一上·河南新未来·期中） The first time I met Jane, we became best friends.

Lucas was not like the others because he suffered from a disease known as bumble foot, which includes a range of bad foot conditions that stop animals from standing upright, and a lack of treatment can lead to possible death. For Lucas, life had been a series of treatments and disappointments (失望). The zoo’s team had tried everything, but nothing seemed to work on his disease. Dr. Beth Bicknese, a member of the zoo’s team, said, “I’ve looked after Lucas for years. I am very sad when Lucas develops pains.” Then, there was a hope. The zoo’s team got the help of Thera-Paw, a company that designs products to help animals move better. “The orthopedic shoes (矫形鞋) from Thera- Paw help Lucas to fully join the group and show behaviors that are more typical for a penguin — such as climbing the rocks, swimming, nesting and finding a suitable mate,” said Dr. Beth Bicknese. Debbie Denton, a senior wildlife care specialist in the team, was there when Lucas first put on his shoes. “We were pleasantly surprised to see the immediate change in him,” she said. “Seeing him move about now gives us hope that he may be OK going forward and able to live a full life.” With every step Lucas took, he walked better, stood up straighter, and was more balanced. The rocky place that was hard to move around before was now fun to explore for Lucas. 1. How did the disease affect Lucas? A. He couldn’t stand upright. B. He was unable to lie down. C. His eyesight became poor. D. His sense of smell dropped. 2. What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about? A. Examples of animal diseases. B. Steps of treating Lucas’ disease. C. The importance of the zoo’s team. D. The difficulty with Lucas’ treatment. 3. What helped Lucas get a new life? A. An operation. B. Some medicine. C. A pair of shoes. D. The penguin group. 4. What did Debbie Denton think of Lucas’ shoes? A. Useful. B. Expensive. C. Strange. D. Uncomfortable. 【答案】1. A 2. D 3. C 4.

It was clear that the kid across from me was flying alone, too. She was singing a song to herself softly. Imagining if my two daughters were traveling alone, they might feel helpless and want others to talk with them, I decided to make conversation. “What are you singing about, honey?” “Oh that,” she said, clearly happy to have someone to talk to. “Well, Grandma’s always surprised when I visit by plane. You know, how far you can come and how fast. I don’t think they had many planes when she was little. I mean, seriously, they had a horse. Anyway, Grandma would tell me that she’d think of me from time to time and say to herself, ‘I wonder where you are. I wonder where you are going.’ Then she’d always add, ‘Someplace important, I’m sure!’ So I made it into a song for us. I love my grandma.” “Right now I’m on my way to Grandma’s house and I’m just singing that song to myself and thinking the same about her, ‘I wonder where you are. I wonder where you are going.’ That’s all.” “Wow,” I said. “That’s really sweet. So, is it just you and Grandma or is your mom or dad coming out later?” “Oh, everyone will be there and Mom’s s been there for two weeks already, making arrangements (安排).” “Arrangements?” “For Grandma’s funeral (葬礼).” All of a sudden, I was like being hit in the stomach. It seemed something was stuck in my throat (喉咙) and I realized what she’d been singing, “I wonder where you are...” about her Grandma who’d been gone. Sometimes when I see a family at the supermarket or ice cream stand, I’ll think of that kid and start singing her song — I wonder where you are. I wonder where you’re going.

This year, out of 300,000 applicants, around 45,000 were chosen as volunteers, with 20 percent coming from nearly 150 countries. These volunteers wore bright green uniforms (制服) to be easily noticed in the purple venues (场馆). They offered help to viewers and media alike, making them an important part of the Olympic experience. On my first day as a reporter, I met a technical problem with my media system account. Thankfully, Chinese volunteer Guo came to help me out. “I hope to improve my language, communication skills, and problem- solving methods through this event,” said 24-year-old Guo from Wuhan, Central China’s Hubei Province, who was studying wireless communication at the Paris Institute of Digital Technology. As a former professional swimmer, Guo saw this as her chance to take part in the Olympics, though in a different role. Another Chinese volunteer, Yang, faced challenges in managing her job and volunteer duties. Despite giving up her holidays, she felt great pride in contributing to the event. One of my most memorable experiences was meeting with a French volunteer. When I needed help to find the visitor center, a young man on a scooter (小型摩托车) appeared, like a sort of “Monkey King riding a cloud”, and offered to take me there. After helping me, he expressed his admiration for the Beijing Olympics and his desire to visit China again. Volunteers like them were seen everywhere — from bus stops to competition venues — offering directions and helping with a smile. When large crowds left the venues after the events, causing overcrowding, some volunteers sat on high chairs with loudspeakers, providing directions to go outside in both English and French with a smile. These amazing volunteers, truly show the Olympic spirit, making the event and Paris shine even brighter. 1. Why might the volunteers wear bright green uniforms? A. To stand out in the crowd. B. To show love for athletes. C. To fit in with the venues. D. To stand for their countries. 2. What do we know about Guo? A. She found it hard to balance her job and volunteer work. B. She both swam and volunteered in the Paris Olympics. C. She wanted to improve herself through volunteer work. D. She wasn’t as patient and helpful as the French volunteer. 3.

I was captain of the team in my second year of high school. I felt I had to do very well. The stress I put myself under was unhealthy: I felt as if I couldn’t make mistakes, and that stopped me enjoying the game I once loved. I finished my second-year basketball season and had no fun at all. My Spanish teacher came up to me after my second-year basketball season, asking if I had ever thought about playing Unified (融合的) Basketball. Unified Sports joins people with intellectual or physical disabilities (智力或身体缺陷) (called Athletes), and people without disabilities (called Partners), on the same team. The main goal is to build friendships and encourage inclusivity. I had thought about it before, but there was a rule that said I couldn’t play Unified if I played basketball for the school. So, I finally decided to quit school basketball. Quitting basketball was not easy. I received strong opposition from my parents and the coaches as well as my friends who were on the team. It was not a popular or traditional decision, but I knew it was the right one for me. Walking into my first Unified practice, I did not know what to expect. I awkwardly (尴尬地) introduced myself to a few of the Unified Athletes, but after the first day, it already seemed like we were becoming a family. We won a lot of games, but we also had the most fun I’ve ever had. All the stress I used to feel disappeared when I played with them. Seeing the Athletes score their first points of the season and then dance down the whole court excitedly is one of my favorite basketball memories. Unified Sports opened my eyes to how much more there is to sports than winning and losing. The Athletes on the team thought that I was there to help them, but they did not know how much they helped me. 1. How did the author find playing basketball in his second year of high school? A.

The Athletes on the team thought that I was there to help them, but they did not know how much they helped me.(让我看到了体育不仅仅是输赢。队里的运动员以为我是来帮助他们的，但他们不知道他们帮了我多大的忙)”可知，是 Unified Basketball改变了作者的生活。因此B项“Unified Basketball改变了我的人生”可以作为本文的最佳标题。故选B。 Passage 3 （24-25高一上·河南顶级名校·期中） When I was 9, we packed up our home in Los Angeles and arrived at Heathrow, London on a gray January morning. Everyone in the family settled quickly into the city except me. Without my beloved beaches and endless blue—sky days, I felt at a loss and out of place. Until I made a discovery. Southbank, at an eastern bend in the Thames, is the center of British skateboarding, where the continuous crashing of skateboards left your head ringing .I loved it. I soon made friends with the local skaters. We spoke our own language. And my favorite: Safe. Safe meant cool. It meant hello. It meant don’t worry about it. Once, when trying a certain trick on the beam(横杆), I fell onto the stones, damaging a nerve in my hand, and Toby came over, helping me up: Safe, man. Safe. A few minutes later, when I landed the trick, my friends beat their boards loud, shouting: “ Safe! Safe! Safe!” And that’s what mattered—landing tricks, being a good skater. When I was 15, my family moved to Washington. I tried skateboarding there, but the locals were far less welcoming. Within a couple of years, I’d given it up. When I returned to London in 2004, I found myself wandering down to Southbank, spending hours there. I’ve traveled back several times since, most recently this past spring. The day was cold but clear: tourists and Londoners stopped to watch the skaters. Weaving(穿梭)among the kids who rushed by on their boards, I found my way to the beam. Then a rail—thin teenager, in a baggy white T—shirt, skidded(滑)up to the beam. He sat next to me. He seemed not to notice the man next to him. But soon I caught a few of his glances. “I was a local here 20 years ago,” I told him. Then, slowly, he began to nod his head. “Safe, man. Safe.” “Yeah,” I said. “Safe.” 1. What can we learn about the author soon after he moved to London? A. He felt disappointed. B. He gave up his hobby. C. He liked the weather there. D. He had disagreements with his family. 2. What do the underlined words “Safe! Safe! Safe!” probably mean? A. Be careful! B. Well done! C. No way! D. Don’t worry! 3. Why did the author like to spend time in Southbank when he returned to London? A. To join the skateboarding. B. To make new friends. C. To learn more tricks. D. To relive his childhood days 4. What message does the author seem to convey in the text? A. Children should learn a second language. B. Sport is necessary for children’s health. C. Children need a sense of belonging D. Seeing the world is a must for children. 【答案】1. A 2. B 3. D 4. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述作者自己的经历，起初搬到伦敦很不适应，但是由于找到了玩滑板的地方，结识了玩滑板的朋友，因此很好的适应了。作者回到伦敦之后，经常去之前玩滑板的地方寻找自己的回忆，在与一个玩滑板的孩子打招呼的时候，终于找到了自己久违的熟悉感。 【1题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Everyone in the family settled quickly into the city except me. Without my beloved beaches and endless blue -sky days, I felt at a loss and out of place.(除了我之外的家里人都很快适应这个城市，没有了我喜爱的沙滩和蓝天，我感到迷茫和无措)”可知，作者刚到伦敦的时候因为没有喜爱的沙滩，不能很好的融入到新的城市，感到很沮丧。故选A。 【2题详解】 词句猜测题。根据画线词前文“A few minutes later, when I landed the trick, my friends beat their boards loud, shouting: “ Safe! Safe! Safe!”(几分钟后，当我学会这个技巧时，我的朋友们敲着他们的板子大声喊道：“做得好！做得好！做得好！)”以及后文“And that’s what mattered—landing tricks, being a good skater. (那才是真正重要的——滑板的落地技巧掌握了才是一名好的滑板玩家)”可知，作者掌握了滑板落地技巧，因此他的朋友大声欢呼，因此可以推出本句的Safe是赞美的含义。故选B。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段““I was a local here 20 years ago,” I told him. Then, slowly, he began to nod his head. “Safe, man. Safe.”(我告诉他：“我20年前经常在这里玩滑板，”他缓慢地开始向我点头：“嗨，你好!”)”可推知，作者去Southbank这个地方是为了寻找自己玩滑板的回忆。故选D。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Everyone in the family settled quickly into the city except me. Without my beloved beaches and endless blue—sky days, I felt at a loss and out of place. Until I made a discovery.(除了我之外的家里人都很快适应这个城市，没有了我喜爱的沙滩和蓝天，我感到迷茫和无措。直到我有了一个发现)”以及文章第二段“Southbank, at an eastern bend in the Thames, is the center of British skateboarding, where the continuous crashing of skateboards left your head ringing .I loved it. I soon made friends with the local skaters.(泰晤士河东段的南岸，是英国滑板运动的中心，在那里，滑板不断的碰撞声让你的脑袋嗡嗡作响。我喜欢那里。我很快就和当地的滑板手交了朋友)”及文章倒数第二段“When I was 15, my family moved to Washington. I tried skateboarding there, but the locals were far less welcoming. Within a couple of years, I’d given it up.(我15岁时，我全家搬到了华盛顿。我试着在那里玩滑板，但当地人远不那么热情。几年之内，我就放弃了)”以及文章最后一段“When I returned to London in 2004, I found myself wandering down to Southbank, spending hours there. I’ve traveled back several times since, most recently this past spring.(当我2004年回到伦敦时，我发现自己在南岸闲逛，在那里呆了几个小时。从那以后，我已经回去好几次了，最近一次是今年春天)”可知，作者起初搬到伦敦很不适应，但是由于找到了玩滑板的地方，结识了玩滑板的朋友，因此很好的适应了。但是搬去华盛顿，因为没有遇到很好的玩滑板的朋友，几年之后就不再玩滑板，作者回到伦敦之后，经常去之前玩滑板的地方寻找自己的回忆，在于一个孩子打招呼的时候，终于找到了自己久违的回忆。通过作者的经历，作者要表达的是，归属感对于孩子是很重要的。故选C。 Passage 4 （24-25高一上·河南潢川·期中） The best days of my life were spent when I was in my 20s, mostly because it was when I met lots of my lifelong friends. I was living in Charlottesville and in a house next door to one of my best friends and downstairs from another. The years there were amazing. We were surrounded by my favorite people, having drinks, laughing and dancing late into the night. Plenty of time has passed since then. Now my husband and I have two kids and we live in New Jersey. My friends have also found their life partners — one still lives in Virginia and the other lives near D. C. We make sure to see each other three times a year, so often that our children believed they were cousins. We happily call each one of these trips “Family Vacation” because family seems like a better analogy (比喻) for our relationship than friends. Family is obviously very important, but ”family” can be just as important or even more important if you don’t have a lot of actual family around. But why are close friendships so important? And why do we need then in the first place? There are many advantages to having friends. Scientists have reasoned that friendships must have some benefits for humans and animals. Although scientists don’t like to use the word “friend” when they talk about animals, there is evidence that some animals do have friends. Any pet owner knows that animals like having playmates. Play is quite common in many animals, and there is evidence that playing with friends might help with brain development. In fact, play is most prevalent among animals with large brains, and the period when animals are most likely to play also happens to be the time when the largest amount of brain growth happens. 1. What did the author treasure most when she was in her 20s? A. Living with her family. B. Having a wonderful job. C. Staying with her best friends. D. Studying in her dream university. 2. Why did the children believe they were cousins? A. They looked alike, B. They had the same hobbies. C. They were told about it. D. They often visited each other. 3. What is the function of playing with friends according to the passage? A. It helps brains develop. B. It holds friends together. C. It largely reduces pressure. D. It makes people stay healthy. 4. What does the underlined word “prevalent” mean in the last paragraph? A. Unusual. B. Popular. C. Unbelievable. D. Suitable. 【答案】1. C 2. D 3. A 4. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文，文章介绍了“我”回忆自己二十岁左右与朋友们度过的美好时光，探讨了友谊的重要性，指出友谊不仅对人类重要，对动物的大脑发育也有积极的作用。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“The best days of my life were spent when I was in my 20s, mostly because it was when I met lots of my lifelong friends. I was living in Charlottesville and in a house next door to one of my best friends and downstairs from another. The years there were amazing. We were surrounded by my favorite people, having drinks, laughing and dancing late into the night.(我人生中最美好的时光是在我20多岁的时候度过的，主要是因为在那个时候我认识了很多一辈子的朋友。我住在夏洛茨维尔，住在我一个好朋友的隔壁，另一个朋友在楼下。在那里度过的岁月令人惊叹。我们被我最喜欢的人包围着，喝着酒，笑着，跳着舞直到深夜)”可知，“我”认为“我”最美好的时光是自己20岁左右的时候，主要是由于“我”那时和自己最好的朋友在一起。故选C。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“We make sure to see each other three times a year, so often that our children believed they were cousins.(我们每年一定要见三次面，频繁到孩子们都以为他们是表兄弟)”可知，“我”和朋友们见得很频繁，以至于孩子们认为彼此是表亲。故选D。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Play is quite common in many animals and there is evidence that playing with friends might help with brain development.(在许多动物中，玩耍是很常见的，有证据表明，与朋友玩耍可能有助于大脑发育)”可知，和朋友一起玩耍有益于大脑发育。故选A。 【4题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“Play is quite common in many animals(玩耍对许多动物来说是很常见的)”说明动物与朋友一起玩很常见。划线词后文“among animals with large brains(在大脑较大的动物中)”表明在脑容量大的动物中，与朋友一起玩的现象最普遍，呈递进关系。由此可推知画线词为“常见，流行”之意。故选B。 主题03 人与自然 Passage 1 （24-25高一上·河南顶级名校·期中） By day, Robert Titterton is a lawyer. In his spare time though he goes on stage beside pianist Maria Raspopova — not as a musician but as her page turner. “I’m not a trained musician, but I’ve learnt to read music so I can help Maria in her performance.” Mr Titterton is chairman of the Omega Ensemble but has been the group’s official page turner for the past four years. His job is to sit beside the pianist and turn the pages of the score so the musician doesn’t have to break the flow of sound by doing it themselves. He said he became just as nervous as those playing instruments on stage. “A lot of skills are needed for the job. You have to make sure you don’t turn two pages at once and make sure you find the repeats in the music when you have to go back to the right spot.” Mr Titterton explained. Being a page turner requires plenty of practice. Some pieces of music can go for 40 minutes and require up to 50 page turns, including back turns for repeat passages. Silent onstage communication is key, and each pianist has their own style of “nodding” to indicate a page turn which they need to practise with their page turner. But like all performances, there are moments when things go wrong. “I was turning the page to get ready for the next page, but the draft wind from the turn caused the spare pages to fall off the stand,” Mr Titterton said, “Luckily I was able to catch them and put them back.” Most page turners are piano students or up-and-coming concert pianists, although Ms Raspopova has once asked her husband to help her out on stage. “My husband is the worst page turner,” she laughed. “He’s interested in the music, feeling every note, and I have to say: ‘Turn, turn!’ Robert is the best page turner I’ve had in my entire life.” 1. What should Titterton be able to do to be a page turner? A. Read music. B. Play the piano. C. Sing songs. D. Fix the instruments. 2. Which of the following best describes Titterton’s job on stage? A. Boring. B. Well-paid. C. Demanding. D. Dangerous. 3. What does Titterton need to practise? A. Counting the pages. B. Recognizing the “nodding”. C. Catching falling objects. D. Performing in his own style. 4. Why is Ms Raspopova’s husband “the worst page turner”? A. He has very poor eyesight. B. He ignores the audience. C. He has no interest in music. D. He forgets to do his job. 【答案】4. A 5. C 6. B 7. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了为钢琴演奏者做翻页工作的Robert Titterton和他的工作情况。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“I’m not a trained musician, but I’ve learnt to read music so I can help Maria in her performance.(我不是受过训练的音乐家，但我学会了识谱，这样我就可以在Maria的表演中帮助她)”可知，因为Titterton识谱，所以可以在Maria的钢琴表演中为她翻页。故选A项。 【2题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“A lot of skills are needed for the job. You have to make sure you don’t turn two pages at once and make sure you find the repeats in the music when you have to go back to the right spot.(这项工作需要很多技能。你必须确保你不会一次翻两页并且必要的时候确保你回到前面找到音乐重复的部分)”可知，为钢琴家翻页这项工作很需要技巧，所以Titterton的工作要求是很高的。故选C项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Silent onstage communication is key, and each pianist has their own style of “nodding” to indicate a page turn which they need to practise with their page turner.(无声的舞台交流是关键，每个钢琴家都有自己的“点头”风格来表示翻页，他们需要和翻页者进行练习)”可知，Titterton需要练习识别钢琴演奏者的“点头”示意来翻页。故选B项。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“He’s interested in the music, feeling every note, and I have to say: ‘Turn, turn!’(他对音乐很感兴趣，感受着每一个音符，所以我不得不说：“翻页，翻页！”)”可知，Ms Raspopova的丈夫因为对音乐感兴趣，所以帮她翻页的时候总是沉浸在音乐中而忘掉自己的工作，她不得不去提醒。故选D / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
