With over 40 years of experience, he taps the overgrown ground with a wooden stick, warning wild animals for safety. He lives in Shixia village near the 8.6-kilometer part. Shixia villagers have a deep love for the wall. Mei remembers when he ran and played hide-and-seek with his friends on the large building as a child. However in 1979, when he returned to Shixia after working outside for years, he was shocked by the terrible situation of the old wall. “Some villagers even took stones from it to build their houses,” Mei says. To protect the wonder, Mei volunteered as a guardian, patrolling 20 kilometers daily, preventing people from taking stones, writing on the wall or dropping litter. In 1984, a Great Wall protection program started, with Mei’s effort encouraging many, and it was quickly picked up by villagers in Shixia. Realizing the importance of protection, more and more of them returned the stones they had taken and joined Mei on patrol. In 2006, as village head, Mei set up a volunteer protection organisation, and about 80 of 100 villagers joined as guardians. His niece, Liu Hongyan, encouraged by him, also became a guardian in 2019. “When I was a child, my uncle always told me his patrol stories and talked about the history of the Great Wall,” Liu says. “It is my duty and responsibility to protect the Great Wall.” Mei’s hard work has made a difference. From 2015 to 2023, 289 protection projects were allowed and thousands of guardians joined.

Passage 3 （24-25学年高一上·山东菏泽·期中） When I was a kid, my dad would often recite poems to me, especially short, funny ones. One that I especially loved was a short poem called The Purple Cow, written by a man named Gelett Burgess, which read: I never saw a purple cow. I never hope to see one. But I can tell you, anyhow, I’d rather see than be one. Gelett Burgess was an American writer, poet, and humorist, who was famous for his children’s poems. Born in Boston, Massachusetts in 1866, Burgess moved to San Francisco, California in 1887 after graduating from college. There he began his career as a freelance (自由职业者) artist and illustrator (插画师) before turning to writing just a few years later. One of Burgess’ most famous works is The Goops, a series of illustrated children’s poems. The Goops poems describe a group of misbehaving children who are taught lessons about manners and good behavior through lighthearted poetry and playful black-and-white illustrations. He first published these poems in a magazine called The Lark that he created with a group of friends, including children’s poet and mystery writer Carolyn Wells. His poem The Purple Cow also first appeared in The Lark in 1895. It became such a famous and popular poem that strangers would often recite it to him. Finally, Burgess became so sick of hearing it. In addition to poetry, short stories and novels, Burgess even wrote a dictionary of words he invented called Burgess Unabridged: A New Dictionary of Words You Have Always Needed, in which he coined the word “blurb”, which is still commonly used today. Burgess passed away in 1951, but his work has continued to be enjoyed by readers of all ages. His poetry and children’s books remain popular to this day. His unique style and sense of humor made him a beloved person in American literature. 1．What is mentioned about Gelett Burgess after he moved to San Francisco? A．He attended college there.

But traveling felt like something unreal. I was tired of backpackers talking about their fantastic trips. Then, my Greek best friend Jason reminded me of our promise: to visit his hometown in Athens. Before long, I found myself on a plane flying over an ocean I’d never crossed, excited but worried about what would happen once we landed. The long wait proved worth it. Every step through the ancient streets of Athens brought new wonders. However, what I experienced later changed my thoughts of travel. While we were walking, a strange sound caught our attention, and broke the quietness of the street. Curious, we followed the sound. Around the corner, rose a simple workshop — its roof covered with traditional bricks and the door rolled up high. Inside, common tools shone with uncommon beauty. A heavy silence filled the air as time slowed down, giving me the space to notice every little detail. Lost in his work, the welder (焊工) paid no attention to us. All that was visible was his short hair and the body hardened by years spent at the workshop. His hands expertly worked the metal as if he were a magician creating sparks and flames. As the man continued, I was full of admiration. I admired his peace and satisfaction. I longed for the simplicity he showed. The moment moved me to tears. The sight was more attractive than any ancient building or artistic masterpiece. Since returning back home, I look for meaning not in the grand (宏伟的), but in the simplest of moments — the ordinary made extraordinary. Happiness lies not in collecting passport stamps or material wealth, but in finding satisfaction within yourself. There is always beauty waiting to be discovered. 1．What can we learn about the author from paragraph 1? A．He had a lot in common with his brother. B．He didn’t show much interest in travelling. C．He travelled to many places as a backpacker. D．He broke his promise to have a visit to Athens. 2．What changed the author’s view on travel? A．The wonderful flying experience. B．The walk through the ancient streets. C．The well-designed workshop. D．The chance meeting with a welder. 3．How did the author feel when he saw the welder working? A．Curious. B．Touched. C．Confident. D．Anxious. 4．What did the author learn from the trip? A．Beauty exists in ordinary life. B．Small actions make a difference. C．Travelling can bring pleasure. D．Be brave to accept changes. Passage 2 （24-25学年高一上·山东枣庄·期中） When I was in my first year of high school, I had a terrible time when every area of my life was a disaster. I felt so hopeless and alone that I thought everything was impossible. On one such day, I was walking from class across the school to catch the school bus home, with my head down, fighting tears of total hopelessness, when a young man came down the sidewalk toward me. Though I had never seen him before, I did not want him to see that I was in such low spirits, so I turned my head away and hoped to hurry past. I thought he’d walk on by, but he moved until he was directly in front of me, waited until I looked up and then smiled. Looking into my eyes, this stranger spoke in a quiet voice: “Whatever is wrong will pass. You’re going to be OK, just hang on.” He then smiled again and walked away I can’t explain the effect of that man’s unexpected kindness and caring! He gave me the one thing that I’d lost completely—hope. I looked for him in our school to thank him, but never saw him again. That was thirty years ago. And I’ve never forgotten that moment. Over the years, whenever I see someone who is in trouble, I will always think of that young man and try to give a flash of hope in the dark wherever I can. I carry things for people when they are too heavy for them, sit with naughty babies in the waiting room while their mothers are busy, or talk to tired couples at the checkout line or it could be anything. If you keep your head up, your heart will show you the place that needs hope. 1．What the meaning of the underlined phrase in the third paragraph? A．Give up. B．Check out. C．Sign up.

C．The author had never been praised before he met with the young man. D．The author traveled to a lot of places to look for the young man but failed. Passage 3 （24-25学年高一上·山东烟台·期中） A grandfather named Paul Hocheder has decided to keep his mind moving with a full college experience at 90 years old. Paul already earned one degree in 1960, when he graduated from the University of Maryland after working seven years. But he decided it would help make him awake and alive if he went back for another round. So he signed up for classes at Maryland’s Carroll Community College. Paul is currently interested in a history major (专业) because he began his first semester with classes that explored the causes of both World Wars, and he took an interest in learning those opinions from generations that never saw the conflicts (冲突). “We talk and share each other’s views, which makes me feel young again,” he said in a video. “Coming to school with all the young people counts for me and I have something to look forward to instead of sitting around and doing nothing.” Paul’s positive attitude towards learning and his new college life was truly encouraging. His granddaughter, Gabby, posted his return to campus on her networking sites. “I thought it would be funny if we took a video of him walking into school for the first time,” she said in a video. “When I woke up the next day, there were 500,000 views.” So Gabby kept posting updates, and people kept watching. The most watched video had over 4 million views. Gabby said she knew her grandfather would be a hit on networking sites because he’s a very funny guy. But more importantly, she’s so proud of him for continuing to learn and explore well into his golden years. Gabby is now finishing her first college degree, and she thanks him for pushing her to be the best version of herself. “You’ve always been an advocate (倡导者) for education,” she told him. “And that has pushed me.” 1．For what purpose did Paul Hocheder go back to college?

Passage 4 （24-25学年高一上·山东临沂·期中） I’m a seventeen-year-old boy preparing for my A Level exams at the end of the year. In the society where my peers (同龄人) and I live, we tend to accept the rat race values. As students, we want to get good grades so that we can get good jobs. I enjoy studying and have consistently received A’s in my classes. There was a year when I finished first in my class in the final exams. It was a great accomplishment. Another one I am pleased with is that I managed to improve the relationship between Mum and Dad. Dad was a successful businessman who was rarely at home. Mum was a housewife who always felt bored and constantly nagged (唠叨) him to let her go to work. Their constant arguing bothered me, so I advised Dad that Mum would be better off with a part-time job. He agreed, and their relationship has improved since then. My most proud achievement, however, is my successful work in the local old folks’ home. My grandparents had raised me since I was a child. I wept (哭泣) bitterly when they died. Unlike many of my classmates, I do not take part in my school’s community service to earn points. I enjoy my voluntary work and believe I’m contributing to a worthwhile cause. This is where I can help. I talk to the elderly, assist them with their daily life, and listen to their problems, glory days and the hardships they experienced. Last year, I hosted a successful New Year party for the elderly and they enjoyed a great time. Many expressed a desire to attend another party the following year. When I reflect on my accomplishments, I’m especially proud of my service at the old folks’ home, so I hope to study social work at university and work as a social worker in the future.

The town’s residents (居民) enjoyed the beauty of the ocean and the quiet of their homes. However, one fateful day, their peaceful lives were turned upside down by a destructive natural disaster. The morning started like any other. The sun rose, casting its golden rays over the town. People woke up, prepared for their daily routines, and went about their business. Little did they know that a storm was brewing far out in the ocean. As the day progressed, the sky began to darken, and the wind started to pick up. By afternoon, Havenbrook was in the control of a powerful hurricane. The hurricane’s fierce winds tore through the town, cutting roofs into pieces and overturning trees. The ocean, whipped into a frenzy by the storm, washed in huge waves into the town, flooding streets and homes. Residents, caught unprepared, hurried to find shelter. Many were trapped in their homes, waiting in terror as the waters rose higher and higher. It seemed as if the world were at an end. The town’s emergency services worked tirelessly to rescue those in danger. They used boats to navigate through the flooded streets and mothered people to safety. However, the storm was so powerful that even their efforts were limited. Many homes were completely destroyed, and lives were lost. The once-thriving town was now a scene of ruin and despair (绝望). After the hurricane, Havenbrook’ s residents began the arduous task of rebuilding their lives. They worked together, pooling their resources and skills, to rebuild their homes and community.

Passage 2 （23-24学年高一上·山东日照·期中） The world is lucky when our most brilliant minds choose to work for the common good. Young Ryan Honary is among one of the brilliant minds. Shocked by the deaths in the 2018 Camp Fire, California’s frightening wildfire, Honary turned his attention to how to decrease future disasters. In 2019, Honary won a $10,000 prize in the Ignite Innovation Student Challenge for his early wildfire detection (检测) network, which provides app technology for firefighters. He was only in fifth grade at the time. Turning 14 years old and going into the eighth grade this year, Honary is busy working in SensoRy AI, the company he set up. With the help of his father and a team of experts, the company has received a lot of attention. Honary started creating websites when he was in third grade. He learned Python and JavaScript in a local after-school program. At the same time, he was interested in animals and the environment. He became worried as he saw how much the environment was under pressure. When wildfires started ruining the air quality, destroying homes and killing some people, Honary thought about how AI can be used to solve environmental problems such as wildfires. In order to get data to train the machine learning models on his fire detectors, he collected real-world data from Google Earth about the Camp Fire of 2018 in California. Once a fire is detected by a fire detector, the information can be sent to the app he created. Also, machine learning can be used to predict where the fires are going. Honary is hoping to attract more people from his generation to his company. He believes the environment is going to be a big responsibility for all of us. 1．What can be inferred from paragraph 2 and paragraph 3? A．Honary’s detecting network was free.

The strange competition, organized by local man Joe Mahon, had players take mouthfuls of sheep dung and spit it out with interest to see who could spit the farthest. For some reason, Mahon appeared to be the most excited, even allowing sheep to poop (排泄) on his face. Mahon is well known in the town for his strange ideas during the festival. This year, encouraged by a bird dung-spitting competition from Africa, he decided to replace it with sheep. Festival organizers took to Facebook to find volunteers to take part in the strange competition. The winner was promised ￡100 ($155). At last, 44 people finally signed up, joining Mahon on a dung spitting competition. “I had the idea after a couple of Smithwicks,” Mahon said, speaking to “Sunday World”. “I didn’t know a lot about sheep dung but I had to go and collect the dung from a local farmer and then I left it in the back of the car. My wife took the car out shopping and when she opened the car she was nearly knocked out by the smell. She then threatened (威胁) to fight with me!” Mahon’s father organized the first Lady of the Lake festival ever, 37 years ago. There have been a few other strange competitions in the past, like Turkey Walks and World Championship Wolf Whistling. “I’ve just tried to follow that tradition on, although I’d have to say my dad was cleverer than me,” Mahon joked. 1．In the competition at the 37th Lady of the Lake Festival, players will spit ________.

Passage 2 （23-24学年高一上·山东菏泽·期中） The Night Watch was commissioned (委托) in 1639 by Frans BanninckCocq, the captain of Amsterdam’s civil militia (民兵组织), and described him and his 17 members. It was completed in 1642 by Rembrandt van Rijn and spent more than 70 years in the hall of the civil militia. In 1715, Dutch officials decided to move the painting to the city hall in Amsterdam’s Royal Palace on the Dam. The almost 12-foot by 14-foot artwork couldn’t go through the doors, so the movers made a decision and cut off the edges of the painting. The missing parts were never recovered. However, art historians have been aware of the missing items thanks to a smaller copy of the original scene painted by Dutch artist Gerrit Lundens. In 2019, officials of Amsterdam’s Rijksmuseum, where the painting has been displayed since 1808, decided to recreate the missing parts. To help them with the restoration (修复), the team, led by the museum’s senior scientist, Robert Erdmann, turned to a new AI algorithm (算法). Called Convolutional Neural Networks, it helps computers figure out what images may have once looked like. The scientists scanned high-resolution images of the original (原作) and Ludens’ painting to the computer. The AI was able to study and correct the painting’s perspective. It also recognized the exact colors used by the Dutch master and could even copy his brushstrokes. The “missing” parts were printed and mounted to the painting. The left side included two men watching the event and a young boy running away from the militia. A drummer and a barking dog were added to the painting’s right side. The AI helped the museum reproduce the best possible version of the missing pieces. But Taco Dibbits, director of the Rijksmuseum, thinks that the original missing parts are still around and will be returned to the museum some day. The restored painting will be on show and it can also be seen online on the museum’s website. 1．Why did Rembrandt van Rijn create the painting? A．He loved recording people’s life of his time. B．Frans Banninck Cocq requested him to do that. C．He wanted to advertise Amsterdam’s civil militia. D．The civil militia provided him with strong inspiration. 2．How did Amsterdam’s Rijksmuseum restore the painting? A．By copying Ludens’ paintings. B．By using advanced techniques. C．By employing a Dutch artist. D．By creating a smaller painting. 3．What do we know about Taco Dibbits? A．He isn’t satisfied with the reproduced pieces. B．He is trying to find the missing part of the painting. C．He hopes the original missing parts will be found. D．He wishes the restored painting will be always on display. 4．What is the main idea of the text? A．The Night Watch finally comes to light. B．The Rijksmuseum is restoring old paintings. C．The Night Watch was restored to its original form. D．The original parts of The Night Watch are still missing. 主题02 人与自我——生活与学习 Passage 1 （24-25学年高一上·济南一中·期中） The student arrived early, sat front and center, and stood out in my classroom in more ways than one. I’d say that he was about 40 years older than his classmates in my undergraduate communications class. He hungrily jumped into class discussions, with his humor and wisdom of experience. And he was always respectful of the other students’ perspectives, as if each of them were a teacher. Jerry Valencia walked in with a smile—and he left with one too. “These students gave me the confidence that I didn’t need to feel bad about my age,” Valencia says. One day I spotted Valencia on campus. He said he would have to stop taking classes that semester and reapply for next year. By then, he hoped to have earned enough money and have his student-loan papers in order. He asked seriously whether he could still sit in on my communications class. Sure, I said. But he wouldn’t get any credit. No problem, he said. Soon there he was again, back at his old desk, jumping into our discussions on how to find and tell stories in Los Angeles—a 63-year-old man with as much energy and curiosity as any of the youngsters in class. A lot of Valencia’s classmates apparently knew he couldn’t afford that semester’s tuition but was still doing the homework. “Here he is, willingly taking a class for the delight of it and benefit of learning,”says Jessica Espinosa, a 25-year-old junior. Afterward, I overheard Valencia wanted to stay in school until he earned a master’s degree, but it had taken him 12 years to finish community college, so he had a long way to go. There is something splendidly unreasonable about Valencia’s determination to get a four-year degree and then a master’s. At his current pace, he’ll be 90 when he finally hangs all that paper on the wall. But that doesn’t seem especially relevant. He’s found all the youthful energy and academic opportunity stimulating (振奋人心的). Valencia’s grade in my class this semester will not show up on his transcripts (成绩单). But I’m giving him an A—and in the most important ways, it counts. 1．What made Valencia different from his classmates? A．He was respectful to the teacher. B．He activated the class atmosphere. C．He was anxious to learn despite his age. D．He often put forward different opinions. 2．According to the author, why did Valencia continue to attend classes? A．He treasured the chance of learning. B．He wished to show his determination. C．He needed the credits to further his study. D．He desired to have an A on his transcripts. 3．Which of the following best describes Valencia? A．Powerful and independent. B．Energetic and generous. C．Positive and determined. D．Considerate and knowledgeable. 4．What can we learn from the passage? A．No pains, no gains. B．It is never too old to learn. C．Strike the iron while it is hot. D．Where there is life, there is hope. Passage 2 （23-24学年高一上·泰安一中·期中） Snowboarding genius Su Yiming made a name for himself by winning China’s first Olympic gold in the sport on Tuesday. By cleanly stomping back-to-back 1800 tricks, the teenager landed the biggest prize so far in his young career—gold in the men’s Big Air at the Beijing Winter Olympics. The notable achievement realized a childhood dream to reach the peak of the sport, which he began to learn at the age of 4. Now with two shinning medals hung around his neck, the 17-year-old described his superb Olympic debut ( 首秀) as an unbelievable experience that has made all his sacrifices worthwhile. “This feels so surreal that I’ve finally accomplished what I’ve dreamed of since I was little,” said an emotional Su. Over the past four years, Su has combined his talent with hard work to produce one of the swiftest rises to prominence the sport has ever seen. When the Shougang Big Air venue hosted its first international event, Su was an unknown qualifier, who didn’t even make the final runs.

My own voice reflected my family’s past and present-part northern Mississippi, part Tennessee, all southern. There was no sound I loved more than my grandmother’s accent: thick, sweet, warm. While growing up, I began to realize outside of our region, southerners were often dismissed as uncultured and ignorant. I was ready to leave behind my tiny town in West Tennessee, starting a new life and jumping at big chances in some far-off cities. In that embarrassing space between “teen” and “adult”, my accent was a symbol of everything I thought I hated about my life in the rural South. I feared it would disqualify me from being a noted magazine writer. I would have to talk less “country”. So I killed a piece of myself. I’m ashamed of it, but I’m more ashamed that I tried to kill that part of someone else-change Emily’s accent. I met Emily in college. She was determined to work for the student newspaper, which was where I spent most of my waking hours, and we became friends. She, unlike me, accepted her roots. Early in our friendship, her mother asked where I was from, assuming it was somewhere up north. Then I felt my efforts paid off and even wanted to ignore the mistake. Emily is two years younger and she cared about my opinion. I advised her to be more like me and hide her signature Manchester accent. I stressed that throughout our college years, often by making fun of her vowel (元音) sounds. I told myself I was helping her achieve her dream of working as a reporter. Now, I see that it was actually about justifying my hiding part of myself. Grandma Carolyn used to tell me, “Girl, don’t forget where you come from.” Now I truly understand that. Many things have faded from memory, but this sticks in my mind with uncomfortable clarity. Now that I am grown and have left the South, it’s important to me. 1．What made the author want to leave her hometown? A．Appeal of convenience in cities. B．Her dream of becoming a writer. C．Outside prejudice against southerners. D．Her desire for the northern accent. 2．How did the author feel about the mistake of Emily’s mother? A．Upset. B．Pleased. C．Ashamed. D．Surprised. 3．Why on earth did the author try to change Emily’s accent? A．To prove herself right. B．To help Emily be a reporter. C．To make herself influential. D．To protect Emily’s self-dignity. 4．What message does the text want to convey? A．Stay true to your roots. B．Never do things by halves. C．Hold on to your dreams. D．Never judge a person by his accent. / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 专题04 阅读理解 记叙文 主题01 人与自我——生活与学习 Passage 1 （24-25学年高一上·山东枣庄·期中） Do you have a hobby that you have loved for a long time? Carlos Santana does!

With over 40 years of experience, he taps the overgrown ground with a wooden stick, warning wild animals for safety. He lives in Shixia village near the 8.6-kilometer part. Shixia villagers have a deep love for the wall. Mei remembers when he ran and played hide-and-seek with his friends on the large building as a child. However in 1979, when he returned to Shixia after working outside for years, he was shocked by the terrible situation of the old wall. “Some villagers even took stones from it to build their houses,” Mei says. To protect the wonder, Mei volunteered as a guardian, patrolling 20 kilometers daily, preventing people from taking stones, writing on the wall or dropping litter. In 1984, a Great Wall protection program started, with Mei’s effort encouraging many, and it was quickly picked up by villagers in Shixia. Realizing the importance of protection, more and more of them returned the stones they had taken and joined Mei on patrol. In 2006, as village head, Mei set up a volunteer protection organisation, and about 80 of 100 villagers joined as guardians. His niece, Liu Hongyan, encouraged by him, also became a guardian in 2019. “When I was a child, my uncle always told me his patrol stories and talked about the history of the Great Wall,” Liu says. “It is my duty and responsibility to protect the Great Wall.” Mei’s hard work has made a difference. From 2015 to 2023, 289 protection projects were allowed and thousands of guardians joined. Even though there is progress, the Shixiaguan part still remains closed to the public. “My biggest wish,” Mei says, “is to see the Great Wall well-protected and open for all to visit, encouraging more people to join us in protecting it.” 1．What made Mei Jingtian decide to protect the Great Wall?

One that I especially loved was a short poem called The Purple Cow, written by a man named Gelett Burgess, which read: I never saw a purple cow. I never hope to see one. But I can tell you, anyhow, I’d rather see than be one. Gelett Burgess was an American writer, poet, and humorist, who was famous for his children’s poems. Born in Boston, Massachusetts in 1866, Burgess moved to San Francisco, California in 1887 after graduating from college. There he began his career as a freelance (自由职业者) artist and illustrator (插画师) before turning to writing just a few years later. One of Burgess’ most famous works is The Goops, a series of illustrated children’s poems. The Goops poems describe a group of misbehaving children who are taught lessons about manners and good behavior through lighthearted poetry and playful black-and-white illustrations. He first published these poems in a magazine called The Lark that he created with a group of friends, including children’s poet and mystery writer Carolyn Wells. His poem The Purple Cow also first appeared in The Lark in 1895. It became such a famous and popular poem that strangers would often recite it to him. Finally, Burgess became so sick of hearing it. In addition to poetry, short stories and novels, Burgess even wrote a dictionary of words he invented called Burgess Unabridged: A New Dictionary of Words You Have Always Needed, in which he coined the word “blurb”, which is still commonly used today. Burgess passed away in 1951, but his work has continued to be enjoyed by readers of all ages. His poetry and children’s books remain popular to this day. His unique style and sense of humor made him a beloved person in American literature. 1．What is mentioned about Gelett Burgess after he moved to San Francisco? A．He attended college there. B．He lived a very difficult life. C．He did not take up writing at first. D．He became famous as an illustrator. 2．Which of the following could describe The Goops? A．They are really interesting.

C．His poems have become out of date. D．His poems are mainly popular with kids. 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．D 4．A 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了美国作家、诗人和幽默家Gelett Burgess的生平事迹，包括他的代表作、创作经历以及他在美国文学中的地位。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段中“Born in Boston, Massachusetts in 1866, Burgess moved to San Francisco, California in 1887 after graduating from college. There he began his career as a freelance (自由职业者) artist and illustrator (插画师) before turning to writing just a few years later.(Burgess于1866年出生在马萨诸塞州的波士顿，1887年大学毕业后搬到了加利福尼亚州的旧金山。在那里，他开始了他的自由职业艺术家和插画师的生涯，几年后才转向写作)”可知，Gelett Burgess搬到旧金山后，起初并没有从事写作，而是先成为了一名自由职业艺术家和插画师。故选C项。 2．推理判断题。根据第三段中“The Goops poems describe a group of misbehaving children who are taught lessons about manners and good behavior through lighthearted poetry and playful black-and-white illustrations.(《The Goops》描述了一群行为不端的孩子，他们通过轻松的诗歌和有趣的黑白插图学习礼仪和良好行为)”可知，《The Goops》描述的是一群行为不端的孩子，通过轻松的诗歌和有趣的插图来教导他们礼仪和良好行为，由此可推知这些诗歌很有趣。故选A项。 3．推理判断题。根据第四段中“It became such a famous and popular poem that strangers would often recite it to him. Finally, Burgess became so sick of hearing it.(这首诗变得如此著名和受欢迎，以至于陌生人经常会对他吟诵。最后，Burgess都听腻了)”可知，陌生人经常对Burgess吟诵《The Purple Cow》，这表明这首诗非常受欢迎，深受人们喜爱。故选D项。 4．细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Burgess passed away in 1951, but his work has continued to be enjoyed by readers of all ages. His poetry and children’s books remain popular to this day.

I knew he was right. But traveling felt like something unreal. I was tired of backpackers talking about their fantastic trips. Then, my Greek best friend Jason reminded me of our promise: to visit his hometown in Athens. Before long, I found myself on a plane flying over an ocean I’d never crossed, excited but worried about what would happen once we landed. The long wait proved worth it. Every step through the ancient streets of Athens brought new wonders. However, what I experienced later changed my thoughts of travel. While we were walking, a strange sound caught our attention, and broke the quietness of the street. Curious, we followed the sound. Around the corner, rose a simple workshop — its roof covered with traditional bricks and the door rolled up high. Inside, common tools shone with uncommon beauty. A heavy silence filled the air as time slowed down, giving me the space to notice every little detail. Lost in his work, the welder (焊工) paid no attention to us. All that was visible was his short hair and the body hardened by years spent at the workshop. His hands expertly worked the metal as if he were a magician creating sparks and flames. As the man continued, I was full of admiration. I admired his peace and satisfaction. I longed for the simplicity he showed. The moment moved me to tears. The sight was more attractive than any ancient building or artistic masterpiece. Since returning back home, I look for meaning not in the grand (宏伟的), but in the simplest of moments — the ordinary made extraordinary. Happiness lies not in collecting passport stamps or material wealth, but in finding satisfaction within yourself. There is always beauty waiting to be discovered. 1．What can we learn about the author from paragraph 1? A．He had a lot in common with his brother. B．He didn’t show much interest in travelling. C．He travelled to many places as a backpacker. D．He broke his promise to have a visit to Athens. 2．What changed the author’s view on travel? A．The wonderful flying experience. B．The walk through the ancient streets. C．The well-designed workshop. D．The chance meeting with a welder. 3．How did the author feel when he saw the welder working? A．Curious. B．Touched. C．Confident. D．Anxious. 4．What did the author learn from the trip? A．Beauty exists in ordinary life. B．Small actions make a difference. C．Travelling can bring pleasure. D．Be brave to accept changes. 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．B 4．A 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章叙述了作者在希腊偶遇一位焊工，并深受触动，他发现幸福不在于收集护照邮票，也不在于物质财富，而在于找到内心的满足。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段“But traveling felt like something unreal. I was tired of backpackers talking about their fantastic trips.(但旅行感觉就像不真实的东西。我厌倦了背包客们谈论他们奇妙的旅行)”可知，他对旅行没有表现出很大的兴趣。故选B项。 2．细节理解题。根据第二段“However, what I experienced later changed my thoughts of travel.(然而，我后来的经历改变我对旅行的看法)”及第四段“Lost in his work, the welder (焊工) paid no attention to us.(焊工全神贯注地工作，没有注意到我们)”可知，是与焊工的偶遇改变了作者对旅行的看法。故选D。 3．细节理解题。根据第四段“The moment moved me to tears.(那一刻让我感动流泪)”可知，作者看到焊工工作时，他很感动。故选B。 4．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Since returning back home, I look for meaning not in the grand (宏伟的), but in the simplest of moments — the ordinary made extraordinary. Happiness lies not in collecting passport stamps or material wealth, but in finding satisfaction within yourself. There is always beauty waiting to be discovered.(回国后，我不再从宏伟的事物中寻找意义，而是从最简单的时刻中寻找意义——让平凡变得不平凡。幸福不在于收集护照邮票，也不在于物质财富，而在于找到内心的满足。总有美丽等待被发现)”可推知，作者从旅行中学到了平凡生活中的美。故选A。 Passage 2 （24-25学年高一上·山东枣庄·期中） When I was in my first year of high school, I had a terrible time when every area of my life was a disaster. I felt so hopeless and alone that I thought everything was impossible. On one such day, I was walking from class across the school to catch the school bus home, with my head down, fighting tears of total hopelessness, when a young man came down the sidewalk toward me. Though I had never seen him before, I did not want him to see that I was in such low spirits, so I turned my head away and hoped to hurry past. I thought he’d walk on by, but he moved until he was directly in front of me, waited until I looked up and then smiled. Looking into my eyes, this stranger spoke in a quiet voice: “Whatever is wrong will pass. You’re going to be OK, just hang on.” He then smiled again and walked away I can’t explain the effect of that man’s unexpected kindness and caring! He gave me the one thing that I’d lost completely—hope. I looked for him in our school to thank him, but never saw him again. That was thirty years ago. And I’ve never forgotten that moment. Over the years, whenever I see someone who is in trouble, I will always think of that young man and try to give a flash of hope in the dark wherever I can. I carry things for people when they are too heavy for them, sit with naughty babies in the waiting room while their mothers are busy, or talk to tired couples at the checkout line or it could be anything.

Paul already earned one degree in 1960, when he graduated from the University of Maryland after working seven years. But he decided it would help make him awake and alive if he went back for another round. So he signed up for classes at Maryland’s Carroll Community College. Paul is currently interested in a history major (专业) because he began his first semester with classes that explored the causes of both World Wars, and he took an interest in learning those opinions from generations that never saw the conflicts (冲突). “We talk and share each other’s views, which makes me feel young again,” he said in a video. “Coming to school with all the young people counts for me and I have something to look forward to instead of sitting around and doing nothing.” Paul’s positive attitude towards learning and his new college life was truly encouraging. His granddaughter, Gabby, posted his return to campus on her networking sites. “I thought it would be funny if we took a video of him walking into school for the first time,” she said in a video. “When I woke up the next day, there were 500,000 views.” So Gabby kept posting updates, and people kept watching. The most watched video had over 4 million views. Gabby said she knew her grandfather would be a hit on networking sites because he’s a very funny guy. But more importantly, she’s so proud of him for continuing to learn and explore well into his golden years. Gabby is now finishing her first college degree, and she thanks him for pushing her to be the best version of herself. “You’ve always been an advocate (倡导者) for education,” she told him. “And that has pushed me.” 1．For what purpose did Paul Hocheder go back to college?

In the society where my peers (同龄人) and I live, we tend to accept the rat race values. As students, we want to get good grades so that we can get good jobs. I enjoy studying and have consistently received A’s in my classes. There was a year when I finished first in my class in the final exams. It was a great accomplishment. Another one I am pleased with is that I managed to improve the relationship between Mum and Dad. Dad was a successful businessman who was rarely at home. Mum was a housewife who always felt bored and constantly nagged (唠叨) him to let her go to work. Their constant arguing bothered me, so I advised Dad that Mum would be better off with a part-time job. He agreed, and their relationship has improved since then. My most proud achievement, however, is my successful work in the local old folks’ home. My grandparents had raised me since I was a child. I wept (哭泣) bitterly when they died. Unlike many of my classmates, I do not take part in my school’s community service to earn points. I enjoy my voluntary work and believe I’m contributing to a worthwhile cause. This is where I can help. I talk to the elderly, assist them with their daily life, and listen to their problems, glory days and the hardships they experienced. Last year, I hosted a successful New Year party for the elderly and they enjoyed a great time. Many expressed a desire to attend another party the following year. When I reflect on my accomplishments, I’m especially proud of my service at the old folks’ home, so I hope to study social work at university and work as a social worker in the future. I wish to be more skilled in attending to the less fortunate and find great satisfaction in it, after all. 1．What can be inferred about the author from the first paragraph? A．He is content with his learning achievements. B．His good grades got him a good job. C．He refuses to compete with his peers fiercely.

The town’s residents (居民) enjoyed the beauty of the ocean and the quiet of their homes. However, one fateful day, their peaceful lives were turned upside down by a destructive natural disaster. The morning started like any other. The sun rose, casting its golden rays over the town. People woke up, prepared for their daily routines, and went about their business. Little did they know that a storm was brewing far out in the ocean. As the day progressed, the sky began to darken, and the wind started to pick up. By afternoon, Havenbrook was in the control of a powerful hurricane. The hurricane’s fierce winds tore through the town, cutting roofs into pieces and overturning trees. The ocean, whipped into a frenzy by the storm, washed in huge waves into the town, flooding streets and homes. Residents, caught unprepared, hurried to find shelter. Many were trapped in their homes, waiting in terror as the waters rose higher and higher. It seemed as if the world were at an end. The town’s emergency services worked tirelessly to rescue those in danger. They used boats to navigate through the flooded streets and mothered people to safety. However, the storm was so powerful that even their efforts were limited. Many homes were completely destroyed, and lives were lost. The once-thriving town was now a scene of ruin and despair (绝望). After the hurricane, Havenbrook’ s residents began the arduous task of rebuilding their lives. They worked together, pooling their resources and skills, to rebuild their homes and community.

Young Ryan Honary is among one of the brilliant minds. Shocked by the deaths in the 2018 Camp Fire, California’s frightening wildfire, Honary turned his attention to how to decrease future disasters. In 2019, Honary won a $10,000 prize in the Ignite Innovation Student Challenge for his early wildfire detection (检测) network, which provides app technology for firefighters. He was only in fifth grade at the time. Turning 14 years old and going into the eighth grade this year, Honary is busy working in SensoRy AI, the company he set up. With the help of his father and a team of experts, the company has received a lot of attention. Honary started creating websites when he was in third grade. He learned Python and JavaScript in a local after-school program. At the same time, he was interested in animals and the environment. He became worried as he saw how much the environment was under pressure. When wildfires started ruining the air quality, destroying homes and killing some people, Honary thought about how AI can be used to solve environmental problems such as wildfires. In order to get data to train the machine learning models on his fire detectors, he collected real-world data from Google Earth about the Camp Fire of 2018 in California. Once a fire is detected by a fire detector, the information can be sent to the app he created. Also, machine learning can be used to predict where the fires are going. Honary is hoping to attract more people from his generation to his company. He believes the environment is going to be a big responsibility for all of us. 1．What can be inferred from paragraph 2 and paragraph 3? A．Honary’s detecting network was free. B．Honary gained many awards in 2019. C．Honary’s company is facing serious challenges. D．Honary is young but makes amazing achievements. 2．Why did Honary invent the detector? A．To make a fortune. B．To enlarge his company. C．To save firefighters! D．To reduce wildfire disasters. 3．How did Honary train the machine learning models on detectors? A．By creating websites. B．By collecting data. C．By taking an after-school program. D．By sending information to the app. 4．Which of the following can best describe Honary? A．Gifted and humorous. B．Curious and confident. C．Creative and responsible. D．Friendly and intelligent. 【答案】1．D 2．D 3．B 4．C 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。本文主要讲了年轻的Ryan Honary发明了A I火灾探测器，降低了伤亡率。 1．推理判断题。根据第二段最后一句“He was only in fifth grade at the time.(当时他只有五年级)”及第三段“Turning 14 years old and going into the eighth grade this year, Honary is busy working in SensoRy AI, the company he set up.(Honary今年14岁，即将上八年级，他正忙着在自己创办的SensoRy AI公司工作)”可推知，Honary很年轻，但却取得了惊人的成就。故选D。 2．细节理解题。根据第二段第一句“Shocked by the deaths in the 2018 Camp Fire, California’s frightening wildfire, Honary turned his attention to how to decrease future disasters.( Honary对2018年可怕加州山火中的死亡感到震惊，他把注意力转向了如何减少未来的灾难)”可知，Honary发明了探测器是为了减少野火灾害。故选D。 3．细节理解题。根据第五段“In order to get data to train the machine learning models on his fire detectors, he collected real-world data from Google Earth about the Camp Fire of 2018 in California.(为了获得数据来训练火灾探测器上的机器学习模型，他从谷歌地球上收集了关于2018年加州山火的真实数据)”可知，Honary通过收集数据在检测器上训练机器学习模型。故选B。 4．推理判断题。根据第二段“In 2019, Honary won a $10,000 prize in the Ignite Innovation Student Challenge for his early wildfire detection (检测) network, which provides app technology for firefighters.( 2019年，霍纳里在Ignite创新学生挑战赛中获得了1万美元的奖金，因为他的早期野火探测网络为消防员提供了应用技术)”以及最后一段“Honary is hoping to attract more people from his generation to his company.

The strange competition, organized by local man Joe Mahon, had players take mouthfuls of sheep dung and spit it out with interest to see who could spit the farthest. For some reason, Mahon appeared to be the most excited, even allowing sheep to poop (排泄) on his face. Mahon is well known in the town for his strange ideas during the festival. This year, encouraged by a bird dung-spitting competition from Africa, he decided to replace it with sheep. Festival organizers took to Facebook to find volunteers to take part in the strange competition. The winner was promised ￡100 ($155). At last, 44 people finally signed up, joining Mahon on a dung spitting competition. “I had the idea after a couple of Smithwicks,” Mahon said, speaking to “Sunday World”. “I didn’t know a lot about sheep dung but I had to go and collect the dung from a local farmer and then I left it in the back of the car. My wife took the car out shopping and when she opened the car she was nearly knocked out by the smell. She then threatened (威胁) to fight with me!” Mahon’s father organized the first Lady of the Lake festival ever, 37 years ago. There have been a few other strange competitions in the past, like Turkey Walks and World Championship Wolf Whistling. “I’ve just tried to follow that tradition on, although I’d have to say my dad was cleverer than me,” Mahon joked. 1．In the competition at the 37th Lady of the Lake Festival, players will spit ________. A．water B．sheep dung C．bird dung D．cigarettes 2．Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage? A．The Lady of the Lake Festival has been held for 37 years.

D．Mahon wanted to change the tradition of the competition. 3．What did Mahon’s wife think of the thing she found in the car? A．She should support her husband’s interest. B．She didn’t care the smell of the sheep dung. C．She couldn’t stand the smell of the sheep dung. D．She would take part in the competition. 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了在北爱尔兰费马纳郡欧文斯顿镇举办的第37届湖畔女士节上，一项奇特的吐羊粪比赛吸引了参赛者和观众。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段“Visitors at the 37th Lady of the Lake Festival in Irvinestown, Northern Ireland’s Fermanagh county, were in for a stinky (发恶臭的) surprise — a sheep dung spitting (吐羊粪) competition that really left players with a bad taste in their mouth. (在北爱尔兰费马纳郡的欧文斯敦举行的第37届湖中女士节上，游客们遇到了一个臭气熏天的惊喜 —— 一场吐羊粪比赛，真的让参赛者们感到恶心)”可知，在第37届湖畔女士节比赛中，参赛者会吐羊粪。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据第三段中“The winner was promised ￡100($155). (获胜者被承诺将获得100英镑 (155美元))”、倒数第二段“Mahon’s father organized the first Lady of the Lake festival ever, 37 years ago. There have been a few other strange competitions in the past, like Turkey Walks and World Championship Wolf Whistling.

It was completed in 1642 by Rembrandt van Rijn and spent more than 70 years in the hall of the civil militia. In 1715, Dutch officials decided to move the painting to the city hall in Amsterdam’s Royal Palace on the Dam. The almost 12-foot by 14-foot artwork couldn’t go through the doors, so the movers made a decision and cut off the edges of the painting. The missing parts were never recovered. However, art historians have been aware of the missing items thanks to a smaller copy of the original scene painted by Dutch artist Gerrit Lundens. In 2019, officials of Amsterdam’s Rijksmuseum, where the painting has been displayed since 1808, decided to recreate the missing parts. To help them with the restoration (修复), the team, led by the museum’s senior scientist, Robert Erdmann, turned to a new AI algorithm (算法). Called Convolutional Neural Networks, it helps computers figure out what images may have once looked like. The scientists scanned high-resolution images of the original (原作) and Ludens’ painting to the computer. The AI was able to study and correct the painting’s perspective. It also recognized the exact colors used by the Dutch master and could even copy his brushstrokes. The “missing” parts were printed and mounted to the painting. The left side included two men watching the event and a young boy running away from the militia. A drummer and a barking dog were added to the painting’s right side. The AI helped the museum reproduce the best possible version of the missing pieces. But Taco Dibbits, director of the Rijksmuseum, thinks that the original missing parts are still around and will be returned to the museum some day. The restored painting will be on show and it can also be seen online on the museum’s website. 1．Why did Rembrandt van Rijn create the painting? A．He loved recording people’s life of his time. B．Frans Banninck Cocq requested him to do that. C．He wanted to advertise Amsterdam’s civil militia. D．The civil militia provided him with strong inspiration. 2．How did Amsterdam’s Rijksmuseum restore the painting? A．By copying Ludens’ paintings. B．By using advanced techniques. C．By employing a Dutch artist. D．By creating a smaller painting. 3．What do we know about Taco Dibbits? A．He isn’t satisfied with the reproduced pieces. B．He is trying to find the missing part of the painting. C．He hopes the original missing parts will be found. D．He wishes the restored painting will be always on display. 4．What is the main idea of the text? A．The Night Watch finally comes to light. B．The Rijksmuseum is restoring old paintings. C．The Night Watch was restored to its original form. D．The original parts of The Night Watch are still missing. 【答案】1．B 2．B 3．C 4．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲的是科学家通过人工智能修复了The Night Watch这幅画丢失的部分。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段“The Night Watch was commissioned (委托) in 1639 by Frans BanninckCocq, the captain of Amsterdam’s civil militia (民兵组织), and described him and his 17 members.(The Night Watch于1639年由阿姆斯特丹民兵队长Frans BanninckCocq委托创作，描述了他和他的17名成员。)”可知，Rembrandt van Rijn创作这幅画是因为Frans Banninck Cocq要求他这么做。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据第三段“To help them with the restoration (修复), the team, led by the museum’s senior scientist, Robert Erdmann, turned to a new AI algorithm (算法). Called Convolutional Neural Networks, it helps computers figure out what images may have once looked like.(为了帮助他们进行修复，由博物馆资深科学家Robert Erdmann领导的团队转向了一种新的人工智能算法。它被称为卷积神经网络，可以帮助计算机找出图像曾经的样子。)”可知，Amsterdam’s Rijksmuseum通过使用先进的技术修复这幅画。故选B。 3．细节理解题。根据最后一段“But Taco Dibbits, director of the Rijksmuseum, thinks that the original missing parts are still around and will be returned to the museum some day.(但荷兰国立博物馆馆长Taco Dibbits认为，原来丢失的部分仍然存在，总有一天会被归还给博物馆。)”可知，Taco Dibbits希望最初丢失的部分能被找到。故选C。 4．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“The Night Watch was commissioned (委托) in 1639 by Frans BanninckCocq, the captain of Amsterdam’s civil militia (民兵组织), and described him and his 17 members.(The Night Watch于1639年由阿姆斯特丹民兵队长Frans BanninckCocq委托创作，描述了他和他的17名成员。)”，第二段“The almost 12-foot by 14-foot artwork couldn’t go through the doors, so the movers made a decision and cut off the edges of the painting. The missing parts were never recovered.(这幅近12英尺乘14英尺的艺术品无法通过大门，所以搬运工做出了一个决定，剪掉了画作的边缘。丢失的部分再也没有找到。)”和倒数第三段“The scientists scanned high-resolution images of the original (原作) and Ludens’ painting to the computer. The AI was able to study and correct the painting’s perspective. It also recognized the exact colors used by the Dutch master and could even copy his brushstrokes.(科学家们将原作和卢登斯画作的高分辨率图像扫描到电脑中。人工智能能够研究和纠正这幅画的视角。它还能准确识别这位荷兰大师使用的颜色，甚至能模仿他的笔触。)”，本文主要讲的是科学家通过人工智能修复了The Night Watch这幅画丢失的部分，因此主旨是C选项“The Night Watch was restored to its original form.(The Night Watch恢复了原来的形态。)”。故选C。 主题02 人与自我——生活与学习 Passage 1 （24-25学年高一上·济南一中·期中） The student arrived early, sat front and center, and stood out in my classroom in more ways than one. I’d say that he was about 40 years older than his classmates in my undergraduate communications class. He hungrily jumped into class discussions, with his humor and wisdom of experience. And he was always respectful of the other students’ perspectives, as if each of them were a teacher. Jerry Valencia walked in with a smile—and he left with one too. “These students gave me the confidence that I didn’t need to feel bad about my age,” Valencia says. One day I spotted Valencia on campus. He said he would have to stop taking classes that semester and reapply for next year. By then, he hoped to have earned enough money and have his student-loan papers in order. He asked seriously whether he could still sit in on my communications class. Sure, I said. But he wouldn’t get any credit. No problem, he said. Soon there he was again, back at his old desk, jumping into our discussions on how to find and tell stories in Los Angeles—a 63-year-old man with as much energy and curiosity as any of the youngsters in class. A lot of Valencia’s classmates apparently knew he couldn’t afford that semester’s tuition but was still doing the homework. “Here he is, willingly taking a class for the delight of it and benefit of learning,”says Jessica Espinosa, a 25-year-old junior. Afterward, I overheard Valencia wanted to stay in school until he earned a master’s degree, but it had taken him 12 years to finish community college, so he had a long way to go. There is something splendidly unreasonable about Valencia’s determination to get a four-year degree and then a master’s. At his current pace, he’ll be 90 when he finally hangs all that paper on the wall. But that doesn’t seem especially relevant. He’s found all the youthful energy and academic opportunity stimulating (振奋人心的). Valencia’s grade in my class this semester will not show up on his transcripts (成绩单). But I’m giving him an A—and in the most important ways, it counts. 1．What made Valencia different from his classmates? A．He was respectful to the teacher. B．He activated the class atmosphere. C．He was anxious to learn despite his age. D．He often put forward different opinions. 2．According to the author, why did Valencia continue to attend classes? A．He treasured the chance of learning. B．He wished to show his determination. C．He needed the credits to further his study. D．He desired to have an A on his transcripts. 3．Which of the following best describes Valencia? A．Powerful and independent. B．Energetic and generous. C．Positive and determined. D．Considerate and knowledgeable. 4．What can we learn from the passage? A．No pains, no gains. B．It is never too old to learn. C．Strike the iron while it is hot. D．Where there is life, there is hope. 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．C 4．B 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。本文讲述了一个关于“活到老，学到老”的故事。杰里·瓦伦西亚是一个63岁的大三学生，尽管年龄很大，但他对学习仍然充满热情。在课堂上，他会积极参加讨论，尊重其他同学的观点，很多学生对他的精神充满了敬佩。他并没有足够的钱去支付学费但他仍不放弃，通过工作赚钱，坚持继续完成学业，还要继续读研。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段中的“The student arrived early, sat front and center, and stood out in my classroom in more ways than one. I’d say that he was about 40 years older than his classmates in my undergraduate communications class. (这个学生很早就到了，坐在前排和中间，在我的教室里，他在很多方面都很突出。我得说，他比我本科通信课班上的同学大40岁左右。)”、第三段“He said he would have to stop taking classes that semester and reapply for next year. By then, he hoped to have earned enough money and have his student-loan papers in order. He asked seriously whether he could still sit in on my communications class. (他说他那学期将不得不停止上课，并重新申请明年的课程。到那时，他希望能赚到足够的钱，并把学生贷款文件办妥。他严肃地问我是否还能旁听我的通信课。)”、第六段“Soon there he was again, back at his old desk, jumping into our discussions on how to find and tell stories in Los Angeles—a 63-year-old man with as much energy and curiosity as any of the youngsters in class. (很快，他又回来了，回到他的旧桌子旁，加入到我们关于如何在洛杉矶寻找和讲述故事的讨论中——一个63岁的男人，和班上任何一个年轻人一样充满活力和好奇心。)”、第七段“A lot of Valencia’s classmates apparently knew he couldn’t afford that semester’s tuition but was still doing the homework. (瓦伦西亚的很多同学显然知道他付不起那学期的学费，但他仍然在做作业。)”和第七段的“Afterward, I overheard Valencia wanted to stay in school until he earned a master’s degree, but it had taken him 12 years to finish community college, so he had a long way to go. (后来，我无意中听到瓦伦西亚想留在学校直到获得硕士学位，但他花了12年时间才完成社区大学学业，所以他还有很长的路要走。)”可知，瓦伦西亚与他的同学的不同之处在于：尽管他年纪大了，但他渴望学习。故选C项。 2．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“A lot of Valencia’s classmates apparently knew he couldn’t afford that semester’s tuition but was still doing the homework. “Here he is, willingly taking a class for the delight of it and benefit of learning,” says Jessica Espinosa, a 25-year-old junior. (瓦伦西亚的许多同学显然知道他付不起那学期的学费，但他仍在做作业。25岁的大三学生杰西卡·埃斯皮诺萨说：“他来了，为了学习的乐趣和益处，他很乐意去上课。”)”可知，瓦伦西亚继续上课是因为他得到了学习的乐趣，珍惜学习的机会。故选A项。 3．推理判断题。根据第一段中的“He hungrily jumped into class discussions, with his humor and wisdom of experience. (他以幽默和经验智慧，如饥似渴地参加课堂讨论。)”和第七段中的“A lot of Valencia’s classmates apparently knew he couldn’t afford that semester’s tuition but was still doing the homework. “Here he is, willingly taking a class for the delight of it and benefit of learning,”says Jessica Espinosa, a 25-year-old junior.

(后来，我无意中听到瓦伦西亚想留在学校直到获得硕士学位，但他花了12年时间才完成社区大学学业，所以他还有很长的路要走。)”可知，瓦伦西亚积极参与课堂讨论、即使没钱交学费也要继续上课学习，而且有着坚定的决心要拿到学位，尽管按他的进度要花很长时间也不放弃，所以可以看出他是积极且坚定的。故选C项。 4．主旨大意题。根据第一段中的“The student arrived early, sat front and center, and stood out in my classroom in more ways than one. I’d say that he was about 40 years older than his classmates in my undergraduate communications class. (这个学生很早就到了，坐在前排和中间，在我的教室里，他在很多方面都很突出。我得说，他比我本科通信课班上的同学大40岁左右。)”和第七段的“Afterward, I overheard Valencia wanted to stay in school until he earned a master’s degree, but it had taken him 12 years to finish community college, so he had a long way to go. (后来，我无意中听到瓦伦西亚想留在学校直到获得硕士学位，但他花了12年时间才完成社区大学学业，所以他还有很长的路要走。)”可知，杰里·瓦伦西亚是一个比班上的同学大40岁左右的学生，尽管年龄很大，但他对学习仍然充满热情。在课堂上，他会积极参加讨论。他没有足够的钱去支付学费但他仍不放弃，通过工作赚钱，坚持继续完成学业，还要继续读研。可得出这篇文章主要告诉我们“It is never too old to learn. (活到老，学到老。)”的道理。故选B项。 Passage 2 （23-24学年高一上·泰安一中·期中） Snowboarding genius Su Yiming made a name for himself by winning China’s first Olympic gold in the sport on Tuesday. By cleanly stomping back-to-back 1800 tricks, the teenager landed the biggest prize so far in his young career—gold in the men’s Big Air at the Beijing Winter Olympics. The notable achievement realized a childhood dream to reach the peak of the sport, which he began to learn at the age of 4. Now with two shinning medals hung around his neck, the 17-year-old described his superb Olympic debut ( 首秀) as an unbelievable experience that has made all his sacrifices worthwhile. “This feels so surreal that I’ve finally accomplished what I’ve dreamed of since I was little,” said an emotional Su. Over the past four years, Su has combined his talent with hard work to produce one of the swiftest rises to prominence the sport has ever seen. When the Shougang Big Air venue hosted its first international event, Su was an unknown qualifier, who didn’t even make the final runs. Just over two years later, Su is the name on everyone’s lips at the venue’s Olympic debut—drawing the whole nation’s attention to the sport he loves. “The biggest motivation (动力) for me is my love for snowboarding,” Su said, when asked about the secret to his success. “In snowboarding, I feel like I can show my own style and creativity. Every time I ride my board, it’s always a joyful moment. I hope through my experience, I can inspire more young people to get interested in the sport.” Su, a former child actor who featured in action movies, said the Olympic gold will encourage him to seek for more breakthroughs—even beyond his athletic career. “I enjoy snowboarding just as much as I enjoy acting,” said Su, who turns 18 on Friday. “I think I still have a lot of possibilities to explore in my future career either in snowboarding or in acting. But now I just want to enjoy the moment and celebrate it as the best possible birthday gift.” 1．What does the underlined word “landed” in Paragraph 1 mean? A．Arrived. B．Gained. C．Created. D．Dreamed. 2．According to Su himself, what is his secret to his success? A．His acting experience. B．His talent and hard work. C．His being fond of snowboarding. D．His life dream of achieving success. 3．Which of the following words can best describe Su? A．Talented and thoughtful. B．Lovely and famous. C．Creative and kind-hearted. D．Hard-working and devoted. 4．What’s Su’s attitude toward his future? A．Upset. B．Hopeful. C．Anxious. D．Satisfied. 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．D 4．B 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述周二，滑雪天才苏一鸣赢得了中国第一枚奥运会金牌，从而名声大噪。 1．词句猜测题。由文章第一段“Snowboarding genius Su Yiming made a name for himself by winning China’s first Olympic gold in the sport on Tuesday.(周二，单板滑雪天才苏一鸣为中国赢得了首枚奥运会单板滑雪金牌，这让苏一鸣一举成名。)”可知，这位少年获得了年轻职业生涯中迄今为止最大的奖项，划线词landed的意思是“获得，赢取”，和gained意思相近，故选B。 2．细节理解题。由文章第四段““The biggest motivation (动力) for me is my love for snowboarding,” Su said, when asked about the secret to his success.(当被问及成功的秘诀时，苏说：“对我来说，最大的动力是我对单板滑雪的热爱。”)”可知，他对单板滑雪的热爱是他的动力，这也最终导致了他的成功。故选C。 3．推理判断题。由文章第三段“Over the past four years, Su has combined his talent with hard work to produce one of the swiftest rises to prominence the sport has ever seen.(在过去的四年里，苏将他的天赋与努力相结合，使他成为这项运动有史以来最快的运动员之一。)”可知，苏一鸣是一个全心全意努力工作的人。故选D。 4．推理判断题。由文章最后一段“I think I still have a lot of possibilities to explore in my future career either in snowboarding or in acting. But now I just want to enjoy the moment and celebrate it as the best possible birthday gift.(我认为在我未来的职业生涯中，无论是单板滑雪还是表演，我都有很多可能性去探索。但现在我只想享受这一刻，把它当作最好的生日礼物来庆祝。)”可知，苏一鸣对他的将来充满希望。故选B。 Passage 3 （23-24学年高一上·山东省实验中学·期中） As a child, I was proud of my southern origin. My own voice reflected my family’s past and present-part northern Mississippi, part Tennessee, all southern. There was no sound I loved more than my grandmother’s accent: thick, sweet, warm. While growing up, I began to realize outside of our region, southerners were often dismissed as uncultured and ignorant. I was ready to leave behind my tiny town in West Tennessee, starting a new life and jumping at big chances in some far-off cities. In that embarrassing space between “teen” and “adult”, my accent was a symbol of everything I thought I hated about my life in the rural South. I feared it would disqualify me from being a noted magazine writer. I would have to talk less “country”. So I killed a piece of myself. I’m ashamed of it, but I’m more ashamed that I tried to kill that part of someone else-change Emily’s accent. I met Emily in college. She was determined to work for the student newspaper, which was where I spent most of my waking hours, and we became friends. She, unlike me, accepted her roots. Early in our friendship, her mother asked where I was from, assuming it was somewhere up north. Then I felt my efforts paid off and even wanted to ignore the mistake. Emily is two years younger and she cared about my opinion. I advised her to be more like me and hide her signature Manchester accent. I stressed that throughout our college years, often by making fun of her vowel (元音) sounds. I told myself I was helping her achieve her dream of working as a reporter. Now, I see that it was actually about justifying my hiding part of myself. Grandma Carolyn used to tell me, “Girl, don’t forget where you come from.” Now I truly understand that. Many things have faded from memory, but this sticks in my mind with uncomfortable clarity. Now that I am grown and have left the South, it’s important to me. 1．What made the author want to leave her hometown? A．Appeal of convenience in cities. B．Her dream of becoming a writer. C．Outside prejudice against southerners. D．Her desire for the northern accent. 2．How did the author feel about the mistake of Emily’s mother? A．Upset. B．Pleased. C．Ashamed. D．Surprised. 3．Why on earth did the author try to change Emily’s accent? A．To prove herself right. B．To help Emily be a reporter. C．To make herself influential. D．To protect Emily’s self-dignity. 4．What message does the text want to convey? A．Stay true to your roots. B．Never do things by halves. C．Hold on to your dreams. D．Never judge a person by his accent. 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．A 4．A 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述作者因为别人的偏见以及追求更好的生活改变自己的口音，但后来才意识到这样做抹杀了自己身份的一部分，也明白了要坚守本根。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段的“While growing up, I began to realize outside of our region, southerners were often dismissed as uncultured and ignorant. I was ready to leave behind my tiny town in West Tennessee, starting a new life and jumping at big chances in some far-off cities.(在成长过程中，我开始意识到，在我们的地区之外，南方人经常被认为是没有文化和无知的。我准备离开我在西田纳西州的小镇，开始新的生活，并在一些遥远的城市抓住大好机会)”可知，作者决定离开南部的家乡是因为其他人认为南方人没文化、无知，即外部对南方人的偏见。故选C。 2．推理判断题。根据第三段的“Early in our friendship, her mother asked where I was from, assuming it was somewhere up north. Then I felt my efforts paid off and even wanted to ignore the mistake.(在我们的友谊之初，她妈妈问我来自哪里，以为是北方的某个地方。然后我觉得我的努力得到了回报，甚至想忽略这个错误)”推知，当被Emily的妈妈误会来自北方时，作者是非常开心的。故选B。 3．推理判断题。根据第二段的“I feared it would disqualify me from being a noted magazine writer. I would have to talk less “country”. So I killed a piece of myself. (我担心这会使我失去成为著名杂志作家的资格。我就得少说些“乡村”了。所以我抹杀了自己身份的一部分)”，第三段的“She was determined to work for the student newspaper, which was where I spent most of my waking hours(她决心为校报工作，而我醒着的大部分时间都在那里度过的)”以及倒数第二段的“I advised her to be more like me and hide her signature Manchester accent. I stressed that throughout our college years, often by making fun of her vowel (元音) sounds. I told myself I was helping her achieve her dream of working as a reporter. (我建议她更像我，隐藏她标志性的曼彻斯特口音。在我们的大学生活中，我经常通过取笑她的元音来强调这一点。我告诉自己，我是在帮她实现当记者的梦想)”可知，作者通过改变自己的口音获得了在校报工作的机会。由此推知，作者努力改变Emily的口音是为了证明自己是对的，即改变南方口音就有可能获得好工作。故选A。 4．推理判断题。通读全文，并结合第二段的“I’m ashamed of it, but I’m more ashamed that I tried to kill that part of someone else-change Emily’s accent.(我很惭愧，但我更惭愧的是我试图抹杀别人的那部分——改变艾米丽的口音)”和最后一段“Grandma Carolyn used to tell me, “Girl, don’t forget where you come from.” Now I truly understand that. Many things have faded from memory, but this sticks in my mind with uncomfortable clarity. (卡罗琳奶奶过去常对我说：“女孩，别忘了你来自哪里。”现在我真的明白了。许多事情已经从记忆中消失了，但这件事却以令人不安的清晰印象留在了我的脑海中)”可知，文章想要传达的信息是：坚守本根。故选A。 2 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
