Books have the power to change the fate, not just of individuals but even of nations. Here is a true story of a man whose life was changed because of one book. Dinesh got admission into one of the best engineering colleges in India. He studied computer engineering at that college. Dinesh was never a good student. He was not much interested in studies but somehow coasted through exams and acquired degrees. He didn’t get a job through campus interviews. He came back to his native state but a different city, where his parents lived. Dinesh had one or two interviews in a month but didn’t get a suitable job.

Dinesh bought that book and it changed something in him. He realized how he was wasting his time and his life! He was determined to take charge of his life. Dinesh was prepared to make use of his time. On his way to his hometown, Dinesh met Mr Paikh on the train. Mr Paikh, who graduated from the same college as Dinesh did, was a branch manager of a big insurance firm. He offered Dinesh a position in his firm. Dinesh worked hard and his natural skill in public relations helped him. Dinesh slowly started climbing the ladder of success and became an assistant manager in it. Now Dinesh owns library and he devotes one hour a day to reading books.

She enjoys taking part in the 800 meters, 1,500 meters and cross-country racing events. Early in 2016, Jenifer competed in the state championships in all of these three events and qualified for the national competitions. Jennifer is enthusiastic about her experience in the national competitions. She said that the most exciting thing for her was meeting other athletes from around Australia, including a new friend named Jessica. According to Jennifer, when she participated at state level, the bar was raised. “The national competitions are really hard; it’s harder to win,” she says. Project worker Lisa notes that competing has had a positive impact on the young athlete. “Jennifer’ s participation in national competitions has enriched her life educationally, culturally and socially,” she says. Jennifer’s mother is her inspiration. Jennifer is very grateful to her mother for the sacrifices she has made to enable Jennifer to train. In order to motivate her and accompany her to the weekly training session, Jennifer’s mother has to regularly give up work opportunities. Her mother, along with the rest of the family, is doing what they can to raise the funds required for regular travel and registration fees. This is a common struggle for some families pursuing success for their children. Jennifer aspires (渴望) to follow in the footsteps of her father, an accomplished runner and the first person in the family to compete in the Stawell Gift. When she is talking about running, she beams with satisfaction and happiness. When asked what her favorite thing about running is, she wastes no time in saying“winning”. Considering the hard work going on behind the scenes to help Jennifer follow her love of running, the athlete’s simple motto — never give up — is somewhat important. 6．How did Jennifer find her experience in the national competitions?( no more than 5 words) 7．What is the meaning of the underlined part in Paragraph 2?( no more than 5 words) 8．How did Jennifer’s mother assist her in running?( no more than 8 words) 9．How would you describe Jennifer in terms of personalities according to the last paragraph?( no more than 8 words) 10．What do you think is the key to success from Jennifer’s story? Pleas explain.( no more than 20 words) 主题01 人与自我——哲理感悟 Passage 1 （2024-2025学年高二上·天津市南开中学·期中） In the animal kingdom, weakness can bring about aggression in other animals. This sometimes happens with humans also. But I have found that my weakness brings out the kindness in people. I see it every day when people hold doors for me, pour cream into my coffee, or help me to put on my coat. And I have discovered that it makes them happy. From my wheelchair experience, I see the best in people, but sometimes I feel sad because those who appear independent miss the kindness I see daily. They don’t get to see this soft side of others. Often, we try every way possible to avoid showing our weakness, which includes a lot of pretending. But only when we stop pretending we’re brave or strong do we allow people to show the kindness that’s in them. Last month, when I was driving home on a busy highway, I began to feel unwell and drove more slowly than usual. People behind me began to get impatient and angry, with some speeding up alongside me, horning (按喇叭) or even shouting at me. At that moment, I decided to do something I had never done in twenty-four years of driving. I put on the car flashlights and drove on at a really low speed. No more angry shouts and no more horns! When I put on my flashlights, I was saying to the other drivers, “I have a problem here. I am weak and doing the best I can.” And everyone understood. Several times, I saw drivers who wanted to pass. They couldn’t get around me because of the stream of passing traffic. But instead of getting impatient and angry, they waited, knowing the driver in front of them was in some way weak. Sometimes situations call for us to act strong and brave even when we don’t feel that way. But those are few and far between. More often, it would be better if we don’t pretend we feel strong when we feel weak or pretend that we are brave when we are scared. 11．When will people feel happy as the author has discovered? ( No more than 7 words) 12．Why does the author feel sad sometimes in Paragraph 2? ( No more than 12 words) 13．What did the other drivers do when they saw the flashlights? ( No more than 10 words) 14．What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 6 probably mean? ( No more than 5 words) 15．How does the author’s experience inspire you? Please explain. ( No more than 20 words). Passage 2 （2024-2025学年高二上·天津市滨海新区汉沽第一中学·期中） Many of us do not like the things we see around us. For example, the bad habits of some people, the rude manners and even the air pollution. If you do not want the things you see around you, don’t just watch and hope it will change. Only lazy people might say that is the way things have been working and that is the way they are going to continually work. In fact, things won’t change if you don’t do something to change them, so you should change yourselves first. Maybe some people want to change the whole country? That is a far too enormous project. I think you can start by changing the small things around you. Your habit should be the first thing to change. Change what you think about and change what you talk about. Change the things that get your attention before you plan to change a country. Can you remember how difficult it was for you to break a habit that you desired to break some years ago? Do you remember the habits that you are still struggling to break? If so, then you must fall in with the view that things are not just going to change by your magic thought. As far as I am concerned, the best way I have changed people around me is that I changed myself. People are watching you. Some of them do not expect you to change, so your change is going to be like a miracle to them and will influence them. When you change, they will change. Just change yourself and see how many people will tell you later that you were the one who changed them. That is one simple way young people can change their surroundings. 16．What is the best title for the passage? (No more than 10 words.) 17．Why should people change themselves first? (No more than 15 words.) 18．Please explain the underlined phrase “fall in with” in English. (No more than 5 words.) 19．What habits should you change before changing a country? Please list three. (No more than 15 words) 20．Do you want to change the things around you? What will you do? (Please answer within 20 words.) Passage 3 （2023-2024学年高二上·天津市五区重点校联考·期中） Why not take a more measured approach to a happier, healthier you? From your office to your bedroom to your car, these small changes can have a big impact on your life. Wake up ten minutes earlier. When you start your morning in a hurry, you set a stressful tone for the day. (I’m speaking from experience here.) Even ten extra minutes in the morning can help you feel more calm, collected, and ready to face the day. Spend five minutes in silence or meditation (冥想). You’ll soon realize, whether it’s in the morning or evening, that five minutes of sitting quietly with your eyes closed feels a lot longer than five minutes. But just this short silence can foster a quietness that carries through the day. When things go off the rails, simply close your eyes and recall that earlier quietness. Walk. Is there one trip you’d normally make in the car (to work, the gym, the store) that you can make on foot? Walking saves money (good for you) and gas (good for the environment) and burns calories (around 2,000 steps equal one mile), which is good for your health. Tell someone you love them. Life is never long enough to say this as many times as it should be said. Whether your mother, a friend, a significant other, or your dog, make it a habit to tell someone at least once a day that you love him or her. While it may feel strange at first, you will never regret it. Stand (or sit) up straight. Good posture prevents back and neck pain and even build confidence. When driving, tilt (倾斜) your rearview mirror (后视镜) up a bit. You’ll have to sit up to see. At your desk, the top of your computer screen should be at eye level. Put a small cushion in the curve of your lower back, and your spine (脊柱) will become straight. 21．What does the text mainly talk about? (No more than 10 words) 22．Why is getting up ten minutes earlier in the morning suggested? (No more than 18 words) 23．What’s the meaning of the underlined word “foster” in paragraph 3? (No more than 2 words) 24．What benefit can you get from good posture? (No more than 15 words) 25．Do you like going to school on foot? Why or why not? (No more than 25 words) 主题02 人与社会——个人经历 Passage 1 （2024-2025学年高二上·天津市第四十七中学·期中） In the spring of 1992, I was eighteen years old, a senior in high school, and deep in dark depression. I was taking medication and receiving treatment. However, I didn’t seem to be able to dig myself out of the hole that affected me. One night during that time, I had a dream that I couldn’t forget afterwards. I was walking down the middle of a dark street alone. Suddenly, a truck turned the corner and headed down the street toward me. As the truck drew near, I was pulled to the side of the street by someone. The person who saved me was over six feet tall and had brown hair. And his name was Corbin. At that time, a sense of peace appeared. Then the dream ended, but the peaceful feeling stayed with me. Fast forward eight years, and I was married. Because of my poor health, my husband and I wanted to adopt a child. We finished our home study for the adoption process and were informed that a child had been selected for us. We would hear about him and his history before deciding if we wanted to meet him. Our adoption worker shared all the information she had with us, and my husband and I looked at each other and both said, “He’s for us. ” Then she took out some pictures and handed them to us. A three-year-old boy with brown hair smiled at us in the pictures. I had thought I would feel an automatic connection with the pictures, but while he was a cute kid, I found myself flipping (翻) through the pictures searching for an inspiration. Then our social worker told us, “His name is Corbin. ” There and then, I knew I was meant to be his mom, and it would all work out okay. Today, Corbin is over six feet tall and we live together happily. 26．What happened to the author in 1992? （no more than 5 words） 27．How can we understand the underlined part in paragraph 1? （no more than 5 words） 28．What was the dream the author had years ago mainly about? （no more than 10 words） 29．What did the author and her husband decide to do after they got married? （no more than 10 words） 30．What can we learn from the author’s life? （no more than 20 words） Passage 2 （2023-2024学年高二上·天津市部分区·期中） Daniella Hudson grew up in a very creative family. “Mum and Dad made all our furniture,” she said. “Not because we couldn't afford it: they just liked making things. When Daniella visited a design exhibition with her class at the age of ten, she realised she wanted to follow her parents’ example. Since that day, she’s been making furniture. “I’ve learnt by helping Mum and Dad, and through watching videos online. Her first piece was a table, made soon after visiting the exhibition, and similar to one she’d seen there. “They had furniture from the last hundred years, and I copied a 1920s design.” said Daniella. “Unluckily, no one has wanted tables like that. But I was very chuffed because of the good quality of my table.” Daniella started selling her furniture at a local market. “This gave me the chance to find out what people thought about my designs. But finally, I had to give up because the market closed down,” said Daniella. “After that, I started an internet business and it was doing so well.” Recently, Daniella was asked to take part in a local design show. “One of the organisers had bought one of my pieces off the internet. I couldn't believe it when she told me there'd be a thousand visitors.” she said. “I had little idea what visitors would think about it. My furniture is quite different—mine is more traditional,” Daniella said. But Daniella received lots of orders at the show and the future is looking bright for this young design star. 31．Where did Daniella’s interest in creating furniture come from? (no more than 10 words) 32．What does the underlined word “chuffed” in Para 3 mean? (no more than 1word) 33．Why was Daniella invited to a local design show? (no more than 10 words) 34．What is the passage talking about? (no more than 10 words) 35．What do you think of Daniella? Please explain.

I did not care about helping others, but only about my look, clothes, money and grades. One day, I was suddenly influenced by my neighbor, who is now in college, and ended up wanting to volunteer for others. He had so much fun with volunteering and told me that he felt extremely good after helping others. I hoped to get the same results, for I felt worthless everywhere then. I viewed almost everything in a negative way, and I figured I had to experience something that would make me appreciate things that I had. I volunteered at the nursing home for a year where my neighbor volunteered. I brought snacks, coffee and games for the elderly patients, talked to them while sharing snacks, and played games like chess and checkers with them. Because they were Koreans, they often had trouble communicating with the helpers who were hired to help them. I sometimes translated things for them and offered to be their translator whenever they needed help. By volunteering at the nursing home,I changed a lot. I realized how lucky I am to speak both Korean and English and that I should help other people learn Korean as well. I had learned many life lessons through volunteering. By helping others, I felt needed in society. Not only did it boost my confidence, but it also allowed others to benefit from it. Volunteering is a great opportunity to improve oneself, others, and the whole society. So if you ever have the chance, volunteer! It's something you won't regret 36．What kind of person was the author before volunteering? ( no more than 5 words) 37．Why did the author want to volunteer one day?( no more than 10 words) 38．What did the author do when the elderly patients had difficulty in communicating with the workers?( no more than 10 words) 39．What does the underlined word in Paragraph 4 mean? ( no more than 3 words) 40．What do you think of volunteering after reading the text? ( no more than 20 words) Passage 4 （2023-2024学年高二上·天津市北辰区·期中） I need to arrive at work at 6 am, which means I have to leave my house at 5 am. Yes, it is quite difficult to wake up at 4 am. Our firm arranges for cab drivers to pick up employees from their homes before 5:30 am. But since we don’t have consistent cabs, the drivers end up having to roam around to pick up the fifteen people. An employee comes to the office early regularly. He usually gets picked up first by the drivers. So he happens to know the addresses of most of the employees. He usually helps the drivers pick up the rest employees. He patiently directs the cab drivers while also calling each employee to inform them the cab is a few minutes away from their home. Yesterday, I was wondering how this person can do this every day, without complaint, even though it’s neither part of his job, nor giving him any added advantage. I thought: “This is a person who definitely deserves a thank-you note.” So I just wrote a card to him yesterday evening, telling him that he has a great attitude and that all the employees really appreciate his act of service. Then, I put the note in an envelope, along with some chocolates. Today, when I was supposed to hand my envelope to him, I felt a rush of fear and confusion pass over me. Maybe it was because I had never spoken to him or I was uncertain about how he would react — whether he would doubt my intention. However, when he was getting out of the cab, I thought: “I know my intention is good, and that’s the reason why I should give it to him. What he thinks of it is his own decision. I should do what I feel is right.” So I handed the envelope to him. And now, I feel happy! Maybe I made someone’s day today. 41．What do the underlined words “roam around” in Paragraph 1 probably mean? (no more than 3 words) 42．How does the employee do for the cab drivers and other employees? (no more than 15 words) 43．What does Paragraph 3 mainly tell us? (no more than 10 words) 44．How did the author feel when thinking of handing the envelope to the employee? (no more than 5 words) 45．What message is carried in the passage? (no more than 25 words) 主题03 人与自我——生活建议 Passage 1 （2023-2024学年高二上·天津市河东区·期中） When parents talk about school safety these days, they’re usually referring to the increase in violence at schools. But research shows that school-age children are actually nine times more likely to suffer an injury while doing sports than to be the victim of violence while at school. Accidents can be prevented if parents are on the lookout for potential dangers. To help you keep your kids free from harm, here are some safety tips: *Teach your child never to talk to strangers or accept rides or gifts from strangers. Remember, a stranger is anyone you or your child doesn’t know well or trust. *Be sure that your child walks to and from school with a sibling, friend or neighbor. *Teach your kid, whether walking, biking or riding a bus to school, to obey all traffic signals, signs and traffic officers. Remind him to be extra careful in bad weather. *When driving your kid, deliver and pick them up as close to the school as possible. Don’t leave until they are in the schoolyard or building. *If your child rides a bike to school, make sure he wears a standard helmet. Research shows that a helmet can reduce the risk of head injury by 85%. *Teach your kid to arrive at the bus stop earlier, stay off the street, and wait for the bus to come to a complete stop. *Be sure that your kid knows his or her home phone number and address, your work number, the number of another trusted adult and how to call for emergencies. 46．Who do you think the passage is written to? (no more than 2 words) 47．Please explain the word “potential” in English. (no more than 3 words) 48．What is the function of a helmet when riding a bike? (no more than 8 words) 49．What is the main purpose of this passage? (no more than 10 words) 50．Which tip do you think is the most important for you? And why? (no more than 20 words) Passage 2 （2024-2025学年高二上·天津市蓟州区·期中） Most people want to have a warm family to make them feel safe and secure. For the old with dementia (痴呆), living with their family is of great importance. SilviaBo, named after Queen Silvia is a project made by Skanska and IKEA in partnership with Queen Silvia, which is aimed at improving the level of dementia care. BoKlok, a joint venture (合资企业) created by Skanska and IKEA, introduces a new house which is cheap and environmentally friendly. All of the apartments’ facilities are designed similarly, like furniture and bathroom equipment, which helps keep the costs down. SilviaBo even offers help to the people with lower income, so they can afford it now. H. M. Queen Silvia participates in the plan of the new BoKlok project, including the color of the toilet seats and shower design. “She truly devotes herself to this project. This is her baby,” said Jonas Spangenberg, BoKlok’s CEO. That’s because the Queen understands people with dementia are forced to leave their homes and that keeping them in their homes is a better way. In March 2017, the first SilviaBo home began to be built and Queen Silvia was there to watch it. She said that her mother suffered from Alzheimer’s, one type of dementia. Therefore, SilviaBo homes were important to her. “To take care of the old, the cost is high,” Spangenberg told CNN. “It’s much cheaper for society and the public to help them at home.” These creative solutions are the key to giving people with dementia a good quality of life. There is no better gift than staying at their homes with their loving family. 51．What’s the purpose of the project — SilviaBo? (no more than 15 words) 52．How does SilviaBo control the cost of its homes? (no more than 10 words) 53．How do you understand the underlined part in Para. 5? (no more than 10 words) 54．Why does the Queen understand the people with dementia? (no more than 10 words) 55．What do you think of SilviaBo homes? Please explain. (no more than 20 words) Passage 3 （2024-2025学年高二上·天津市河东区·期中） Saving money is easy when you don’t have anything else to spend it on, but what should we do when things pop up that demand some of your hard-earned cash? These are called expenses. Chances are that most of your basic living expenses — food, shelter, clothing, medical care — are covered by your family. But perhaps you and your family have agreed that you’ll pay for certain other expenses out of your own money, such as cell phone minutes, after-school snacks, clothing and small jewelry, or club dues. Expenses that happen regularly, like every week or month, are called “fixed” expenses. The good news is that you know when these expenses are coming, and you can plan for them. But life is full of surprises, and sometimes these surprises turn into expenses, too. You might have an emergency like fixing a flat tire on your bike, or just something unusual like the class trip. These are called “unexpected” expenses — and if you’re smart with your money, you’ll plan for these as well. Here’s a secret when it comes to saving money: if you think of it as a regular expense, it’ll be easier to put a certain amount aside. Tell yourself that the $20.00 you’re trying to save up every month is something you absolutely must do, and there’s no getting around it. Can you think of any unexpected expenses that you had in the past or you might have in the near future? In this case, you should track your cash flow by creating a cash flow journal in a notebook. That means you keep a record of every amount you earn, spend, and save. Thus we can have a clear idea about our earnings, expenses and savings. And then we can enjoy a sound sleep without any worry. 56．What does the underlined phrase “pop up” in the first paragraph mean in English? (no more than 5 words) 57．How many types does the writer divide expenses into? What are they? (no more than 10 words) 58．What’s Paragraph 4 mainly about? (no more than 8 words) 59．For what purpose do we create a cash flow journal? (no more than 12 words) 60．What is your own way to solve the problem with unexpected expenses? (no more than 20 words) 主题04 人与社会——励志 Passage 1 （2023-2024学年高二上·天津市弘毅中学·期中） Near the small own of Grottoes, Virginia, a narrow dirt road goes from the house of Stephen Curry’s grandfather to the woods nearby. A far cry from the bright lights and shiny courts of the National Basketball Association (NBA), it was along this road that Stephen’s grandfather built a simple basket by attaching a piece of plastic to a telephone pole. Like his fathers, basketball star Dell Curry, Stephen spent many childhood hours playing on this muddy basketball court. He probably didn’t realise it at the time, but it was where he learnt to be creative and flexible as a player. You see, with every shot, the weak plastic backboard gave way. The bumps and rocks that lined the road under the basket caused the ball to bounce in all directions. Knowing where the ball would go wasn’t easy. He had to adjust his own playing style as a result. Shooting with great accuracy was another thing he learnt. Only shots perfectly aimed at its centre went into the heavy, thick basket. In this way, practising day in and day out helped Stephen sharpen his skills. Despite his father’s successful career, Stephen was thought by many people, including his high school teammates and coaches, to be too short, too thin and too weak to follow in his father’s footsteps. But Stephen carried on. Playing basketball was his dream. He would not give up. He finally end up playing college ball at a small, little-known school, Davidson College, not too far from where he lived. His creativity and perseverance made him Davidson’s star player. Selected for the NBA in 2009, Stephen joined the Golden State Warriors. He performed beyond everyone’s expectations with his accurate shooting and continuous efforts. In 2015, Stephen won his first NBA championship, and he led the Warriors to their first championship since 1975. After receiving the Most Valuable Player award for two years in a row, Stephen explained his philosophy, “I never really set out to change the game. What I wanted to do was just be myself..I know it inspires a lot of the next generation, a lot of people who love the game of basketball to value the skill of it, value the fact that you can work every single day to get better. You’ve got to be able to put in the time and the work. That’s how I got here. That’s how I continue to get better every single day.” Inspiring others to believe in themselves, Stephen Curry is living proof that what other people think of you does not have to influence what you become. Through self-belief, hard work, perseverance and some help from an old hoop, he has shown that anything is possible. 61．Why does the author mention the “simple basket” at the beginning of the passage?  (No more than 15 words ) 62．What made the ball go in all directions? (No more than 10 words ) 63．What does the underlined word “day in and day out” mean in English? (No more than 5 words) 64．When did Stephen Curry led the Warriors to their first championship?  (No more than 10 words) 65．What can we learn from Stephen’s success? (No more than 10 words ) Passage 2 （2024-2025学年高二上·天津市静海区第六中学·期中） Wang Yi, who can’t walk or even communicate normally, has written eight books with one movable finger. Wang was born with cerebral palsy (脑瘫) in Jiangsu Province in 1989. Restricted to a wheelchair as she began to grow up, she even has difficulty eating and bathing. However, Wang and her parents have stayed roseate throughout. Since childhood, Wang’s parents have been telling her to regard herself as a normal person even if she is physically disabled. She practiced performing daily activities repeatedly. With her parents’ help, she learned to live with her physical disability and aimed to be an out-standing writer. Before the age of 17, Wang completed nine years of compulsory education and acquired much literary knowledge. With the encouragement of her teacher, she became more determined to pursue her dream of writing. Literature has become a medium for her to communicate with the world. Sitting in a wheelchair, Wang pursues her dream in her own way. Though she only has one movable finger on her right hand, she has managed to write eight books with a total of more than a million words. “For me, writing is not a tool to make a living, but my necessary life mode. Only when I am involved in writing can I feel complete.” she stressed. Wang hopes that every disabled person can live without discrimination. “The sense of value and dignity comes from the efforts of the disabled themselves, as well as from social recognition, acceptance and equal treatment.” She also hopes that readers can experience the strength of life, the warmth of family and the beauty of the times when they are reading her works. Jidi Majia, Vice Chairman of the China Writers Association commented, “Although Wang Yi has a disability, the spirit shown in her works is positive. Besides, Wang’s lyrics (抒情诗) show a unique understanding about the value of life.” 66．What does Wang Yi suffer with cerebral palsy?(no more than 12 words) 67．What does the underlined word “roseate” most probably mean?(1 word) 68．Why does Wang Yi consider writing a necessary life mode?(no more than 15 words) 69．According to Wang Yi, what matters most for the disabled?(no more than 10 words) 70．What do you think of Wang Yi?

That was until a few months ago. Recently, my daughter Zoe started her second year of middle school with a new sense of awareness, asking me to fix the “little girl” pattern on her wheel-chair seat. Not wanting her to be noticeable at school, I spent hours filling in pale yellow stars with a black marker, eager to erase whatever childish signs I could. Shortly after, Zoe got really sick and had to miss 20 days of school. This meant our days were filled with rushing between hospital appointments and meetings with the school, as we tried to make sure she didn't fall behind on her schoolwork. I felt pulled back to a time when she was little and her sickness was a huge part of her life. Back then, it seemed like Zoe lived in hospitals, as she spent so much time in them. No matter how sick she got, however, she always had a positive attitude. But this time was different: Zoe was no longer singing like she normally did. Zoe usually sang all the time, whether she was playing, riding in the car, or just doing her homework. There was no need for a radio in our house; Zoe provided the music for us. Consumed (被折磨) with my motherly worries, it was more concerning to me than her sickness. One day, however,I heard her beautiful voice as I was cooking dinner. I stopped what I was doing and just smiled. “Pure delight,” I thought to myself. Her voice slowly grew stronger, and soon, both the car and the house were filled with her music once more. How had I not noticed her singing had completely stopped, weeks and weeks ago? Now, thankfully, she’s back in school, smiling and singing, and I’m thankful for each and every song she sings. These days, whenever I hear a stranger singing a song to themselves,I don’t get mad. Instead, I smile, as I know that by singing out loud, they’re simply sharing their happiness with the world. 76．How did the author use to feel when she heard strangers singing.( no more than 5 words) 77．What do you think Zoe was like?( no more than 10 words) 78．What does “it” in Paragraph 6 refer to?( no more than 10 words) 79．Why did the author say “There was no need for a radio in our house” ?( no more than 15 words) 80．What is your opinion about “singing out loud”?( no more than 20 words) Passage 2 （2023-2024学年高二上·天津市第一百中学、咸水沽第一中学联考·期中） Teamwork is an important part of the health and fitness program at Spirit Club, where most of the participants have disabilities. Jared Ciner created the program two years ago, “Our main focus is the same thing as any other gym’s, which is to help people be active and healthy, but the difference is that we do change a little bit to make sure that it is right pace for the people we are working with, so that everybody can follow along.” Ciner used to work as a director for a local organization aimed at helping people with disabilities and as apart-time personal trainer at gyms. “I noticed that many of the people who I was working with who had disabilities did not exercise, struggled with weight problems, and were looking for more physical methods and more social ways,” he said. His volunteer experience in Ethiopia working with children from very poor families helped him understand the influence of organized physical activity, too. “That helped me realize how much organized physical activity can help people connect to each other and increase people’s self-esteem (自尊),” Ciner said. Classes at Spirit Club are interactive, and students can come with parents. They participate in partnered workouts and learn balance, strength, speed and agility (灵活性). They are also encouraged to eat right. Alan Bradshaw, who is mentally disabled, has been coming to classes for two years. “He recently lost 21 pounds,” said his mother. “He is more outgoing. When he first started, he couldn’t sit on the floor, get down on the floor. He is doing that now. Great changes have happened to him and it is an important step forward for him. He likes the gym because he can make friends easily and exercise at the same time,” she said. 81．What is the main purpose of the program at Spirit Club? (no more than 8 words) 82．What was Jared Ciner before he created Spirit Club? (no more than 15 words) 83．What is Jared Ciner’s view on organized physical activities? (no more than 13 words) 84．How does the underlined part in the last paragraph mean? (no more than 2 words) 85．What do you think of Spirit Club? Give reasons in your own words.

She said that the most exciting thing for her was meeting other athletes from around Australia, including a new friend named Jessica. According to Jennifer, when she participated at state level, the bar was raised. “The national competitions are really hard; it’s harder to win,” she says. ( Jennifer对参加全国比赛的经历充满热情。她表示，最令她兴奋的是能够结识来自澳大利亚各地的其他运动员，其中包括一位名叫Jessica的新朋友。据Jennifer说，与参加州级比赛相比，国家级比赛的门槛更高。“全国比赛真的很难，想要取胜更加不易，”她说道。)”可知，Jennifer认为自己参加全国比赛感到兴奋，同时也认为很难，但是值得付出努力。故答案是Challenging but rewarding. Or: Exciting and challenging.。 7．考查词义猜测。根据划线单词下文““The national competitions are really hard; it’s harder to win,” she says.(“全国比赛真的很难，想要取胜更加不易，”她说道。)”以及常识可知，全国比赛和州级比赛相比，难度更高。由此可推测，划线词组的意思指的是“更难”。故答案为The standard was raised ( was higher). Or: It became/ got more difficult.。 8．考查细节理解。根据文章第四段“Jennifer is very grateful to her mother for the sacrifices she has made to enable Jennifer to train. In order to motivate her and accompany her to the weekly training sessions, Isabella’s mother has to regularly give up work opportunities. Her mother, along with the rest of the family, is doing their best to raise the funds required for regular travel and registration fees. ( Jennifer非常感激母亲为她训练所做出的牺牲。为了激励她并陪伴她参加每周的训练，Jennifer的母亲不得不经常放弃工作机会。她的母亲以及家中的其他成员都在尽力筹集资金，以支付定期旅行和注册所需的费用。)”可知，Jennifer的妈妈为了支持她跑步，不仅从精神上支持她，也尽力筹集资金支付定期旅行和注册所需的费用。故答案为She supported Jennifer mentally and financially. Or: By giving up work opportunities and raising money. Or: She sacrificed work opportunities and helped raise funds.。 9．考查推理判断。根据文章最后一段“When she is talking about running, she beams with satisfaction and happiness. When asked what her favorite about running is, she wastes no time in saying “winning”. Considering the hard work going on behind the scenes to help Jennifer follow her love of running, the athlete’s simple motto—never give up—is somewhat important. (每当谈及跑步时，她都会露出满意和幸福的笑容。当被问及最喜欢跑步的哪一点时，她毫不犹豫地回答“获胜”。考虑到Isabella为了追随对跑步的热爱而在幕后所付出的艰苦努力，这位运动员的简单座右铭——“永不放弃”——显得尤为重要。)”可知，Jennifer为了追随对跑步的热爱而付出了艰苦努力，由此可知，她是个有毅力、有志向的人。而每当谈及跑步时，她都会露出满意和幸福的笑容，由此可知，她是个积极向上的人。故答案为( She is) positive, ambitious and determined. Or: She never gives up. Or: Positive and determined./ Passionate and determined.。 10．考查开放题。要求考生根据Jennifer的故事谈谈成功的关键，考生言之有理即可。故参考答案为I think hard work and perseverance make a great difference in one’s pursuit of success.

Or: The key to success is not giving up and having strong support from family.。 主题01 人与自我——哲理感悟 Passage 1 （2024-2025学年高二上·天津市南开中学·期中） In the animal kingdom, weakness can bring about aggression in other animals. This sometimes happens with humans also. But I have found that my weakness brings out the kindness in people. I see it every day when people hold doors for me, pour cream into my coffee, or help me to put on my coat. And I have discovered that it makes them happy. From my wheelchair experience, I see the best in people, but sometimes I feel sad because those who appear independent miss the kindness I see daily. They don’t get to see this soft side of others. Often, we try every way possible to avoid showing our weakness, which includes a lot of pretending. But only when we stop pretending we’re brave or strong do we allow people to show the kindness that’s in them. Last month, when I was driving home on a busy highway, I began to feel unwell and drove more slowly than usual. People behind me began to get impatient and angry, with some speeding up alongside me, horning (按喇叭) or even shouting at me. At that moment, I decided to do something I had never done in twenty-four years of driving. I put on the car flashlights and drove on at a really low speed. No more angry shouts and no more horns! When I put on my flashlights, I was saying to the other drivers, “I have a problem here. I am weak and doing the best I can.” And everyone understood. Several times, I saw drivers who wanted to pass. They couldn’t get around me because of the stream of passing traffic. But instead of getting impatient and angry, they waited, knowing the driver in front of them was in some way weak. Sometimes situations call for us to act strong and brave even when we don’t feel that way. But those are few and far between. More often, it would be better if we don’t pretend we feel strong when we feel weak or pretend that we are brave when we are scared. 11．When will people feel happy as the author has discovered? ( No more than 7 words) 12．Why does the author feel sad sometimes in Paragraph 2? ( No more than 12 words) 13．What did the other drivers do when they saw the flashlights? ( No more than 10 words) 14．What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 6 probably mean? ( No more than 5 words) 15．How does the author’s experience inspire you? Please explain. ( No more than 20 words). 【答案】11．When they offer their help to others. 12．Because some people miss the kindness the author sees every day. 13．They waited with patience. 14．But those situations are rare. 15．We should sometimes admit our weakness, let others know our situation and get help from others when necessary. 【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者结合自己的亲身经历，论述了人在暴露自己的软弱时，往往会激发他人表现出善良的一面，从而迸发出理解和帮助之心。 11．考查细节理解。根据第一段中的“I see it every day when people hold doors for me, pour cream into my coffee, or help me to put on my coat. And I have discovered that it makes them happy. (我每天都看到人们为我开门，给我的咖啡倒奶油，或者帮我穿外套。我发现这让他们很开心。)”可知，作者发现当别人为自己提供帮助时，这些人是开心的。故答案为When they offer their help to others. 12．考查细节理解。根据第二段中的“From my wheelchair experience, I see the best in people, but sometimes I feel sad because those who appear independent miss the kindness I see daily. They don’t get to see this soft side of others. (从我的轮椅经历中，我看到了人们最好的一面，但有时我感到难过，因为那些看起来独立的人错过了我每天看到的善良。他们看不到别人温柔的一面。)”可知，作者伤心的原因是一些看似独立的人错过了自己每天在他人身上看到的善良。故答案为Because some people miss the kindness the author sees every day. 13．考查细节理解。根据倒数第二段中的“But instead of getting impatient and angry, they waited, knowing the driver in front of them was in some way weak. (但他们没有变得不耐烦和生气，而是等待着，因为他们知道前面的司机在某种程度上是软弱的。)”可知，当后面的司机看到作者打闪光灯时，他们不再不耐烦，而是耐心等待。故答案为They waited with patience. 14．考查词句猜测。根据划线句子前的“Sometimes situations call for us to act strong and brave even when we don’t feel that way.(有时情况要求我们表现得坚强和勇敢，即使我们并不这么认为。)”可知，即使我们并不坚强也并不勇敢，形势会迫使我们那样表现；再根据划线句子后的“More often, it would be better if we don’t pretend we feel strong when we feel weak or pretend that we are brave when we are scared. (更多的时候，如果我们在感到虚弱的时候不要假装自己很强大，在感到害怕的时候不要假装自己很勇敢，那会更好。)”可知，更多的情况是，我们的感受和表现一致会更好。结合but可知，划线内容与上文为转折关系，所以该句的意思应为“要求我们表现得坚强而勇敢的情况并不多”，更多的时候是后者的情况。故答案为But those situations are rare. 15．开放性试题。根据作者在拥挤的车流中打开车灯，表明自己遇到麻烦，从而得到其他司机的理解的经历，再结合第二段中的“Often, we try every way possible to avoid showing our weakness, which includes a lot of pretending. But only when we stop pretending we’re brave or strong do we allow people to show the kindness that’s in them. (通常，我们会想尽一切办法避免暴露自己的弱点，其中包括很多伪装。但只有当我们不再假装自己勇敢或坚强时，我们才允许人们表现出他们内心的善良。)”可推知，从作者的经历中得到的启发是：必要时不必假装勇敢或坚强，应承认自己的软弱，让别人知道我们的情况，从而得到他人的帮助。故答案为We should sometimes admit our weakness, let others know our situation and get help from others when necessary. Passage 2 （2024-2025学年高二上·天津市滨海新区汉沽第一中学·期中） Many of us do not like the things we see around us. For example, the bad habits of some people, the rude manners and even the air pollution. If you do not want the things you see around you, don’t just watch and hope it will change. Only lazy people might say that is the way things have been working and that is the way they are going to continually work. In fact, things won’t change if you don’t do something to change them, so you should change yourselves first. Maybe some people want to change the whole country? That is a far too enormous project. I think you can start by changing the small things around you. Your habit should be the first thing to change. Change what you think about and change what you talk about. Change the things that get your attention before you plan to change a country. Can you remember how difficult it was for you to break a habit that you desired to break some years ago? Do you remember the habits that you are still struggling to break? If so, then you must fall in with the view that things are not just going to change by your magic thought. As far as I am concerned, the best way I have changed people around me is that I changed myself. People are watching you. Some of them do not expect you to change, so your change is going to be like a miracle to them and will influence them. When you change, they will change. Just change yourself and see how many people will tell you later that you were the one who changed them. That is one simple way young people can change their surroundings. 16．What is the best title for the passage? (No more than 10 words.) 17．Why should people change themselves first? (No more than 15 words.) 18．Please explain the underlined phrase “fall in with” in English. (No more than 5 words.) 19．What habits should you change before changing a country? Please list three. (No more than 15 words) 20．Do you want to change the things around you? What will you do? (Please answer within 20 words.) 【答案】16．Change your surroundings by changing yourself. 17．Things won’t change unless you do something to change them. 18．To accept or admit. 19．What you think about; what you talk about; things getting your attention. 20．Yes. I will try to change myself first as the author has suggested. 【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章论述了要想改变周围的人或环境，需要从自己做起，通过改变自己的行为来影响别人改变别人，改变我们自己就意味着改变别人。 16．考查主旨大意。通读全文，根据第一段中“In fact, things won’t change if you don’t do something to change them, so you should change yourselves first.(事实上，如果你不去改变，事情是不会改变的，所以你应该先改变自己。)”可知，文章主要介绍通过改变自己改变周围的环境。故答案为Change your surroundings by changing yourself. 17．考查细节理解。根据第一段中“In fact, things won’t change if you don’t do something to change them, so you should change yourselves first.(事实上，如果你不做点什么来改变它们，事情就不会改变，所以你应该先改变自己。)”可知，除非你采取行动改变它们，否则事情不会改变。故答案为Things won’t change unless you do something to change them. 18．考查词句猜测。根据第四段中“ If so, then you must fall in with the view that things are not just going to change by your magic thought.(如果是这样，那么你必须fall in with这样的观点：事情不会仅仅因为你的神奇想法而改变。)”可知，你必须接受这样的观点，“fall in with”意为“承认或接受”。故答案为To accept or admit. 19．考查细节理解。根据第二、三段中“Maybe some people want to change the whole country? That is a far too enormous project. I think you can start by changing the small things around you. Your habit should be the first thing to change. Change what you think about and change what you talk about. Change the things that get your attention before you plan to change a country.(也许有些人想改变整个国家？这是一个太庞大的工程。我认为你可以从改变身边的小事开始。你的习惯应该是首先要改变的。改变你的想法，改变你的言论。在你计划改变一个国家之前，先改变那些引起你关注的事情。)”可知，在改变一个国家之前，首先要改变你的想法，你的言论和你关注的事情。故答案为What you think about; what you talk about; things getting your attention. 20．考查开放性试题。根据第一段中“In fact, things won’t change if you don't do something to change them, so you should change yourselves first.(事实上，如果你不去改变，事情是不会改变的，所以你应该先改变自己。)”可知，可以回答：是的，我会改变自己的。故答案为 Yes. I will try to change myself first as the author has suggested. Passage 3 （2023-2024学年高二上·天津市五区重点校联考·期中） Why not take a more measured approach to a happier, healthier you? From your office to your bedroom to your car, these small changes can have a big impact on your life. Wake up ten minutes earlier. When you start your morning in a hurry, you set a stressful tone for the day. (I’m speaking from experience here.) Even ten extra minutes in the morning can help you feel more calm, collected, and ready to face the day. Spend five minutes in silence or meditation (冥想). You’ll soon realize, whether it’s in the morning or evening, that five minutes of sitting quietly with your eyes closed feels a lot longer than five minutes. But just this short silence can foster a quietness that carries through the day. When things go off the rails, simply close your eyes and recall that earlier quietness. Walk. Is there one trip you’d normally make in the car (to work, the gym, the store) that you can make on foot? Walking saves money (good for you) and gas (good for the environment) and burns calories (around 2,000 steps equal one mile), which is good for your health. Tell someone you love them. Life is never long enough to say this as many times as it should be said. Whether your mother, a friend, a significant other, or your dog, make it a habit to tell someone at least once a day that you love him or her. While it may feel strange at first, you will never regret it. Stand (or sit) up straight. Good posture prevents back and neck pain and even build confidence. When driving, tilt (倾斜) your rearview mirror (后视镜) up a bit. You’ll have to sit up to see. At your desk, the top of your computer screen should be at eye level. Put a small cushion in the curve of your lower back, and your spine (脊柱) will become straight. 21．What does the text mainly talk about? (No more than 10 words) 22．Why is getting up ten minutes earlier in the morning suggested? (No more than 18 words) 23．What’s the meaning of the underlined word “foster” in paragraph 3? (No more than 2 words) 24．What benefit can you get from good posture? (No more than 15 words) 25．Do you like going to school on foot? Why or why not? (No more than 25 words) 【答案】21．Some Small Changes with a Big Impact./ Small Changes Can Make a Big Impact on Your Life. 或者：How to be happier and healthier. /Taking a more measured approach to a happier, healthier me/life. 22．Because it helps you feel more calm and collected and get ready to face the day. 23．Create/Bring/Make/Develop/ Form 24．Good posture prevents back and neck pain and builds and even improves my confidence. 25．I like going to school on foot because walking not only does good to my health but also to the environment. 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了如何做出小小的改变让自己更快乐、更健康呢。 21．主旨大意题。阅读全文，尤其是从第一段的中“From your office to your bedroom to your car, these small changes can have a big impact on your life. (从你的办公室到你的卧室再到你的汽车，这些小小的改变都会对你的生活产生很大的影响。)”可知，这篇文章讲的是小改变有大不同，或者采取一种更有分寸的方式来获得更快乐、更健康的自我或生活。故答案是：Some Small Changes with a Big Impact./ Small Changes Can Make a Big Impact on Your Life. 或者：How to be happier and healthier. /Taking a more measured approach to a happier, healthier me/life. 22．细节理解题。由文章第二段中“Even ten extra minutes in the morning can help you feel more calm, collected, and ready to face the day. (即使早上多呆十分钟，也能让你感到更加平静、镇定，并为迎接新的一天做好准备。)”可知，建议早上早十分钟起床，也能让你感到更加平静、镇定，并准备好迎接新的一天。故答案是 Because it helps you feel more calm and collected and get ready to face the day. 23．词义猜测题。根据划线词所在的句子“But just this short silence can foster a quietness that carries through the day． When things go off the rails， simply close your eyes and recall that earlier quietness. (但这短暂的沉默可以foster出一种贯穿一天的宁静，当事情偏离轨道时，只要闭上眼睛回忆起先前的宁静。”可知，foster的意思可能是“创建/带来/制作/发展/形成”。故填Create/Bring/Make/Develop/ Form 24．细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Good posture prevents back and neck pain and even build confidence (良好的姿势可以防止背部和颈部疼痛，甚至建立信心。”可知，良好的姿势可以防止背部和颈部疼痛，甚至建立信心。故填Good posture prevents back and neck pain and builds and even improves my confidence. 25．个人观点题。此题是个人观点题，只要合情合理都可。我喜欢步行上学，因为步行不仅有益于我的健康，也有益于环境。所以可以填I like going to school on foot because walking not only does good to my health but also to the environment. 主题02 人与社会——个人经历 Passage 1 （2024-2025学年高二上·天津市第四十七中学·期中） In the spring of 1992, I was eighteen years old, a senior in high school, and deep in dark depression. I was taking medication and receiving treatment. However, I didn’t seem to be able to dig myself out of the hole that affected me. One night during that time, I had a dream that I couldn’t forget afterwards. I was walking down the middle of a dark street alone. Suddenly, a truck turned the corner and headed down the street toward me. As the truck drew near, I was pulled to the side of the street by someone. The person who saved me was over six feet tall and had brown hair. And his name was Corbin. At that time, a sense of peace appeared. Then the dream ended, but the peaceful feeling stayed with me. Fast forward eight years, and I was married. Because of my poor health, my husband and I wanted to adopt a child. We finished our home study for the adoption process and were informed that a child had been selected for us. We would hear about him and his history before deciding if we wanted to meet him. Our adoption worker shared all the information she had with us, and my husband and I looked at each other and both said, “He’s for us. ” Then she took out some pictures and handed them to us. A three-year-old boy with brown hair smiled at us in the pictures. I had thought I would feel an automatic connection with the pictures, but while he was a cute kid, I found myself flipping (翻) through the pictures searching for an inspiration. Then our social worker told us, “His name is Corbin. ” There and then, I knew I was meant to be his mom, and it would all work out okay. Today, Corbin is over six feet tall and we live together happily. 26．What happened to the author in 1992? （no more than 5 words） 27．How can we understand the underlined part in paragraph 1? （no more than 5 words） 28．What was the dream the author had years ago mainly about? （no more than 10 words） 29．What did the author and her husband decide to do after they got married? （no more than 10 words） 30．What can we learn from the author’s life? （no more than 20 words） 【答案】26．She suffered from depression. 27．Recover from the depression./Walk out of depression./Get rid of depression. 28．She was saved by a person called Corbin. 29．They decided to adopt a child. 30．Whenever we come across difficulties in life, we should face them bravely and always believe everything will be OK. 【导语】本文是记叙文。文章以第一人称叙述了作者从青少年时期经历抑郁，到一个梦境给予她希望，再到多年后收养一个与自己梦中救命恩人同名孩子的真实经历。 26．考查细节理解。根据第一段“In the spring of 1992, I was eighteen years old, a senior in high school, and deep in dark depression.(1992年春天，我18岁，是一名高三学生，陷入了深深的忧郁之中)”可知，作者在1992年患有抑郁症。故回答：She suffered from depression. 27．考查词句猜测。根据前文“I was taking medication and receiving treatment.(我一直在服药并接受治疗)”以及本句的however表转折可知，作者一直在服药并接受治疗但是没有好转，也就是没法摆脱抑郁，所以推知dig myself out of the hole应是“摆脱抑郁”之意。故回答：Recover from the depression./Walk out of depression./Get rid of depression. 28．考查细节理解。根据第二段“One night during that time, I had a dream that I couldn’t forget afterwards. I was walking down the middle of a dark street alone. Suddenly, a truck turned the corner and headed down the street toward me. As the truck drew near, I was pulled to the side of the street by someone. The person who saved me was over six feet tall and had brown hair. And his name was Corbin.(在那段时间的一个晚上，我做了一个我无法忘记的梦。我独自走在黑暗的街道中央。突然，一辆卡车拐了个弯，沿着街道朝我开过来。当卡车驶近时，有人把我拉到路边。救我的人身高超过六英尺，头发是棕色的。他的名字叫Corbin)”可知，作者几年前做的梦主要是关于她被一个叫Corbin的人救了。故回答：She was saved by a person called Corbin. 29．考查细节理解。根据最后一段“Fast forward eight years, and I was married. Because of my poor health, my husband and I wanted to adopt a child.(八年过去了，我结婚了。因为我身体不好，我和丈夫想领养一个孩子)”可知，作者和她的丈夫结婚后决定领养一个孩子。故回答：They decided to adopt a child. 30．开放性问题。根据作者的故事可知，作者高中时得了抑郁症，后来一个梦境给予她希望，让她获得了平静，结婚后，作者身体不好，所以和丈夫想领养一个孩子，发现孩子与自己梦中救命恩人同名，让作者觉得注定是他的妈妈，一切都会好起来的，所以从中我们可以学到，每当我们在生活中遇到困难，我们应该勇敢地面对他们，始终相信一切都会好的。故回答：Whenever we come across difficulties in life, we should face them bravely and always believe everything will be OK. Passage 2 （2023-2024学年高二上·天津市部分区·期中） Daniella Hudson grew up in a very creative family. “Mum and Dad made all our furniture,” she said. “Not because we couldn't afford it: they just liked making things. When Daniella visited a design exhibition with her class at the age of ten, she realised she wanted to follow her parents’ example. Since that day, she’s been making furniture. “I’ve learnt by helping Mum and Dad, and through watching videos online. Her first piece was a table, made soon after visiting the exhibition, and similar to one she’d seen there. “They had furniture from the last hundred years, and I copied a 1920s design.” said Daniella. “Unluckily, no one has wanted tables like that. But I was very chuffed because of the good quality of my table.” Daniella started selling her furniture at a local market. “This gave me the chance to find out what people thought about my designs. But finally, I had to give up because the market closed down,” said Daniella. “After that, I started an internet business and it was doing so well.” Recently, Daniella was asked to take part in a local design show. “One of the organisers had bought one of my pieces off the internet. I couldn't believe it when she told me there'd be a thousand visitors.” she said. “I had little idea what visitors would think about it. My furniture is quite different—mine is more traditional,” Daniella said. But Daniella received lots of orders at the show and the future is looking bright for this young design star. 31．Where did Daniella’s interest in creating furniture come from? (no more than 10 words) 32．What does the underlined word “chuffed” in Para 3 mean? (no more than 1word) 33．Why was Daniella invited to a local design show? (no more than 10 words) 34．What is the passage talking about? (no more than 10 words) 35．What do you think of Daniella? Please explain.

(当丹妮拉在十岁的时候和她的班级参观一个设计展览时，她意识到她想以父母为榜样。)”可知，丹妮拉对制作家具的兴趣来自于帮助她的父母制作家具，她以父母为榜样。故答案为By helping her parents making furniture./ By following her parents example. / it came from her parents/from her parents. 32．考查词义猜测。根据划线处上句“Unluckily, no one has wanted tables like that. (不幸的是，没有人想要那样的桌子。)”以及“because of the good quality of my table. (因为我的桌子质量很好)”but表示转折，丹妮拉并没有感到不开心，她是很高兴和满意的因为她的桌子的质量很好。故答案为satisfied / pleased / happy / glad / delighted / content/ confident. 33．考查细节理解。根据最后一段““I couldn't believe it when she told me there'd be a thousand visitors.” she said. “I had little idea what visitors would think about it. My furniture is quite different—mine is more traditional,” (当她告诉我将有一千名游客时，我简直不敢相信。她说。“我不知道游客会怎么想。我的家具很不一样——我的更传统。”)”可知，丹妮拉被邀请参加当地的设计展，因为她的作品得到了组织的认可以及因为她的家具很独特与众不同。故填Because her works was appreciated / recognized by the organizer. / Because her furniture was quite different / unique / special / welcomed / interesting / appealing. 34．考查主旨大意。根据第二段“When Daniella visited a design exhibition with her class at the age of ten, she realised she wanted to follow her parents’ example. Since that day, she’s been making furniture. “I’ve learnt by helping Mum and Dad, and through watching videos online. (当丹妮拉在十岁的时候和她的班级参观一个设计展览时，她意识到她想以父母为榜样。从那天起，她就开始做家具了。“我通过帮助爸爸妈妈，以及在网上看视频来学习)”以及全文可知，文章主要讲述的是一个关于一个喜欢家具设计的小女孩丹妮拉的故事。故填A young design star / A girl who likes making furniture / a story about a young girl who enjoys furniture design. 35．开放性试题。根据文章第三段““Unluckily, no one has wanted tables like that. But I was very chuffed because of the good quality of my table.” (不幸的是，没有人想要这样的桌子。但我很高兴，因为我的桌子质量很好。)”可知，虽然没有人想要丹妮拉设计的桌子，但是丹妮拉很乐观，可知丹妮拉是一个积极向上的女孩。故填Daniella is a positive girl,because although no one wanted Daniela’s table, Daniela was still positive. Passage 3 （2024-2025学年高二上·天津市西青区杨柳青第一中学·期中） I used to be a selfish girl and I only thought of myself. I did not care about helping others, but only about my look, clothes, money and grades. One day, I was suddenly influenced by my neighbor, who is now in college, and ended up wanting to volunteer for others. He had so much fun with volunteering and told me that he felt extremely good after helping others. I hoped to get the same results, for I felt worthless everywhere then. I viewed almost everything in a negative way, and I figured I had to experience something that would make me appreciate things that I had. I volunteered at the nursing home for a year where my neighbor volunteered. I brought snacks, coffee and games for the elderly patients, talked to them while sharing snacks, and played games like chess and checkers with them. Because they were Koreans, they often had trouble communicating with the helpers who were hired to help them. I sometimes translated things for them and offered to be their translator whenever they needed help. By volunteering at the nursing home,I changed a lot. I realized how lucky I am to speak both Korean and English and that I should help other people learn Korean as well. I had learned many life lessons through volunteering. By helping others, I felt needed in society. Not only did it boost my confidence, but it also allowed others to benefit from it. Volunteering is a great opportunity to improve oneself, others, and the whole society. So if you ever have the chance, volunteer! It's something you won't regret 36．What kind of person was the author before volunteering? ( no more than 5 words) 37．Why did the author want to volunteer one day?( no more than 10 words) 38．What did the author do when the elderly patients had difficulty in communicating with the workers?( no more than 10 words) 39．What does the underlined word in Paragraph 4 mean? ( no more than 3 words) 40．What do you think of volunteering after reading the text? ( no more than 20 words) 【答案】36．She was a selfish person./She was selfish. 37．Because she wanted to experience some positive changes. 38．She offered to be their translator whenever they needed help. 39．Improve/Increase/Enhance/Raise. 40．I think volunteering not only helps those who need help, but also benefits the givers and the society. 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。作者用自己的经历告诉我们参加志愿者活动是提升自己、帮助他人和整个社会的机会，我们应该积极参与自愿者活动。 36．考查细节理解。根据第一段“I used to be a selfish girl and I only thought of myself.(我曾经是一个自私的女孩，我只考虑自己)”和第二段中“I viewed almost everything in a negative way, and I figured I had to experience something that would make me appreciate things that I had.(我几乎以消极的方式看待一切，我想我必须经历一些事情，让我珍惜我所拥有的一切)”可知，在做志愿者之前，作者是一个自私且消极的人。故答案为She was a selfish person./She was selfish. 37．考查细节理解。根据第二段“One day, I was suddenly influenced by my neighbor, who is now in college, and ended up wanting to volunteer for others. He had so much fun with volunteering and told me that he felt extremely good after helping others. I hoped to get the same results, for I felt worthless everywhere then.(有一天，我突然受到了我的邻居的影响，他现在正在上大学，最后我想为别人做志愿者。他在志愿服务中得到了很多乐趣，他告诉我，在帮助别人之后，他感觉非常好。我希望得到同样的结果，因为那时我觉得自己在任何地方都毫无价值)”可知，作者受到作志愿者的邻居的影响，也想通过做志愿者得到乐趣，让自己感觉更好一些，所以想去当志愿者。故答案为Because she wanted to experience some positive changes. 38．考查细节理解。根据第三段“Because they were Koreans, they often had trouble communicating with the helpers who were hired to help them. I sometimes translated things for them and offered to be their translator whenever they needed help.(由于他们是韩国人，他们经常与雇佣来帮助他们的助手沟通困难。我有时会为他们翻译一些东西，并在他们需要帮助的时候提供翻译)”可知，当老年患者与工作人员沟通有困难时，作者会为他们翻译东西，提供翻译服务。故答案为She offered to be their translator whenever they needed help. 39．考查词句猜测。划线词所在段介绍了志愿者工作给作者带来的积极影响，结合划线词所在句“Not only did it enhance my confidence, but it also allowed others to benefit from it.(这不仅enhance了我的信心，也让别人从中受益)”中“my confidence”可推知，志愿者工作“增强”了作者的自信心，enhance的意思是“增强，提高”，可用Improve/ Increase/Enhance/Raise来解释。故答案为Improve/ Increase/Enhance/Raise. 40．开放性试题。言之有理，注意词数。比如：根据“你觉得做志愿者怎么样？”可回答：我认为志愿服务不仅可以帮助那些需要帮助的人，也有利于给予者和社会。故答案为I think volunteering not only helps those who need help, but also benefits the givers and the society. Passage 4 （2023-2024学年高二上·天津市北辰区·期中） I need to arrive at work at 6 am, which means I have to leave my house at 5 am. Yes, it is quite difficult to wake up at 4 am. Our firm arranges for cab drivers to pick up employees from their homes before 5:30 am. But since we don’t have consistent cabs, the drivers end up having to roam around to pick up the fifteen people. An employee comes to the office early regularly. He usually gets picked up first by the drivers. So he happens to know the addresses of most of the employees. He usually helps the drivers pick up the rest employees. He patiently directs the cab drivers while also calling each employee to inform them the cab is a few minutes away from their home. Yesterday, I was wondering how this person can do this every day, without complaint, even though it’s neither part of his job, nor giving him any added advantage. I thought: “This is a person who definitely deserves a thank-you note.” So I just wrote a card to him yesterday evening, telling him that he has a great attitude and that all the employees really appreciate his act of service. Then, I put the note in an envelope, along with some chocolates. Today, when I was supposed to hand my envelope to him, I felt a rush of fear and confusion pass over me. Maybe it was because I had never spoken to him or I was uncertain about how he would react — whether he would doubt my intention. However, when he was getting out of the cab, I thought: “I know my intention is good, and that’s the reason why I should give it to him. What he thinks of it is his own decision. I should do what I feel is right.” So I handed the envelope to him. And now, I feel happy! Maybe I made someone’s day today. 41．What do the underlined words “roam around” in Paragraph 1 probably mean? (no more than 3 words) 42．How does the employee do for the cab drivers and other employees? (no more than 15 words) 43．What does Paragraph 3 mainly tell us? (no more than 10 words) 44．How did the author feel when thinking of handing the envelope to the employee? (no more than 5 words) 45．What message is carried in the passage? (no more than 25 words) 【答案】41．Travel around/Drive around. 42．The employee directs and informs them the address of each one. 43．Why that employee deserves a thank-you note. 44．He felt worried and confused. 45．Do what you feel is right and ignore others’ reaction because what they think of it is their own decision. 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲的是作者感谢他们公司第一个被接的员工的故事。 41．考查词句猜测。根据第一段的“pick up the fifteen people(接这15个人)”可知，司机要接15个人，所以要开车到处转，roam around的意思是“四处闲逛”，和travel around/drive around意思相近，故答案为Travel around/Drive around. 42．考查细节理解。根据第二段“So he happens to know the addresses of most of the employees. He usually helps the drivers pick up the rest employees. He patiently directs the cab drivers while also calling each employee to inform them the cab is a few minutes away from their home.(所以他碰巧知道大多数员工的地址。他通常会帮助司机接其他员工。他耐心地指导出租车司机，同时给每一位员工打电话，告诉他们出租车离他们家只有几分钟的路程。)”可知，该员工指导并告知他们每个人的地址。故答案为The employee directs and informs them the address of each one. 43．考查主旨大意。根据第三段“Yesterday, I was wondering how this person can do this every day, without complaint, even though it’s neither part of his job, nor giving him any added advantage.(昨天，我想知道这个人是如何做到每天都这样，没有抱怨，即使这不是他的工作的一部分，也没有给他任何额外的利益。)”可知，第三段主要告诉我们为什么那个员工值得写一封感谢信。故答案为Why that employee deserves a thank-you note. 44．考查细节理解。根据最后一段“Today, when I was supposed to hand my envelope to him, I felt a rush of fear and confusion pass over me.(今天，当我要把信封交给他时，我感到一阵恐惧和困惑。)”可知，当想到把信封递给雇员时，作者感到担心和困惑。故答案为He felt worried and confused. 45．考查推理判断。根据最后一段“I know my intention is good, and that’s the reason why I should give it to him. What he thinks of it is his own decision. I should do what I feel is right.(我知道我的意图是好的，这就是我应该给他的原因。他怎么想是他自己的决定。我应该做我认为正确的事。)”可知，这篇文章传达的信息是做你认为正确的事，不要理会别人的反应，因为他们的想法是他们自己的决定。故答案为Do what you feel is right and ignore others’ reaction because what they think of it is their own decision. 主题03 人与自我——生活建议 Passage 1 （2023-2024学年高二上·天津市河东区·期中） When parents talk about school safety these days, they’re usually referring to the increase in violence at schools. But research shows that school-age children are actually nine times more likely to suffer an injury while doing sports than to be the victim of violence while at school. Accidents can be prevented if parents are on the lookout for potential dangers. To help you keep your kids free from harm, here are some safety tips: *Teach your child never to talk to strangers or accept rides or gifts from strangers. Remember, a stranger is anyone you or your child doesn’t know well or trust. *Be sure that your child walks to and from school with a sibling, friend or neighbor. *Teach your kid, whether walking, biking or riding a bus to school, to obey all traffic signals, signs and traffic officers. Remind him to be extra careful in bad weather. *When driving your kid, deliver and pick them up as close to the school as possible. Don’t leave until they are in the schoolyard or building. *If your child rides a bike to school, make sure he wears a standard helmet. Research shows that a helmet can reduce the risk of head injury by 85%. *Teach your kid to arrive at the bus stop earlier, stay off the street, and wait for the bus to come to a complete stop. *Be sure that your kid knows his or her home phone number and address, your work number, the number of another trusted adult and how to call for emergencies. 46．Who do you think the passage is written to? (no more than 2 words) 47．Please explain the word “potential” in English. (no more than 3 words) 48．What is the function of a helmet when riding a bike? (no more than 8 words) 49．What is the main purpose of this passage? (no more than 10 words) 50．Which tip do you think is the most important for you? And why? (no more than 20 words) 【答案】46．Parents. 47．existing in possibility. 48．To reduce the risk of head injury. 49．To help the parents’ keep their kids free from harm. 50．The first one. Because the kids need to be alert to strangers. 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一些安全建议，以帮助家长确保孩子在学校安全。 46．考查细节理解。根据文章第一段“To help you keep your kids free from harm, here are some safety tips(为了帮助你的孩子免受伤害，这里有一些安全提示)”可推测，这篇文章是写给父母的，以帮助父母确保孩子的安全。故答案为Parents. 47．考查词句猜测。根据划线单词上一句“Accidents can be prevented(事故是可以预防的)”可推测，划线单词指的是“潜在的”问题。故答案为existing in possibility. 48．考查细节理解题。根据文章倒数第三段“If your child rides a bike to school, make sure he wears a standard helmet. Research shows that a helmet can reduce the risk of head injury by 85%.(如果你的孩子骑自行车上学，确保他戴上标准的头盔。研究表明，头盔可以将头部受伤的风险降低85%。)”可知，骑自行车时戴头盔可以将头部受伤的风险降低85%。故答案为To reduce the risk of head injury. 49．考查细节理解。根据文章第一段“To help you keep your kids free from harm, here are some safety tips(为了帮助你的孩子免受伤害，这里有一些安全提示)”可知，这篇文章主要是为了帮助父母确保自己的孩子远离伤害。故答案为To help the parents’ keep their kids free from harm. 50．开放题。要求考生谈谈哪条安全建议最为重要，以及理由，考生言之有理即可。故参考答案为The first one. Because the kids need to be alert to strangers. Passage 2 （2024-2025学年高二上·天津市蓟州区·期中） Most people want to have a warm family to make them feel safe and secure. For the old with dementia (痴呆), living with their family is of great importance. SilviaBo, named after Queen Silvia is a project made by Skanska and IKEA in partnership with Queen Silvia, which is aimed at improving the level of dementia care. BoKlok, a joint venture (合资企业) created by Skanska and IKEA, introduces a new house which is cheap and environmentally friendly. All of the apartments’ facilities are designed similarly, like furniture and bathroom equipment, which helps keep the costs down. SilviaBo even offers help to the people with lower income, so they can afford it now. H. M. Queen Silvia participates in the plan of the new BoKlok project, including the color of the toilet seats and shower design. “She truly devotes herself to this project. This is her baby,” said Jonas Spangenberg, BoKlok’s CEO. That’s because the Queen understands people with dementia are forced to leave their homes and that keeping them in their homes is a better way. In March 2017, the first SilviaBo home began to be built and Queen Silvia was there to watch it. She said that her mother suffered from Alzheimer’s, one type of dementia. Therefore, SilviaBo homes were important to her. “To take care of the old, the cost is high,” Spangenberg told CNN. “It’s much cheaper for society and the public to help them at home.” These creative solutions are the key to giving people with dementia a good quality of life. There is no better gift than staying at their homes with their loving family. 51．What’s the purpose of the project — SilviaBo? (no more than 15 words) 52．How does SilviaBo control the cost of its homes? (no more than 10 words) 53．How do you understand the underlined part in Para. 5? (no more than 10 words) 54．Why does the Queen understand the people with dementia? (no more than 10 words) 55．What do you think of SilviaBo homes? Please explain. (no more than 20 words) 【答案】51．SilviaBo is aimed at perfecting the level of dementia care. 52．All of the apartments’ facilities in SilviaBo are designed uniformly. 53．The project is her devotion. 54．Because her mother had Alzheimer’s. 55．SilviaBo homes are great because they are much cheaper and can give people with dementia a good quality of life. 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了宜家与Skanska合作，通过两者的合资企业BoKlok，共同打造为痴呆症患者专门设计的经济便利型住房，这些新型住房名为SilviaBo，以瑞典王后西尔维娅命名。 51．细节理解题。根据第二段“SilviaBo, named after Queen Silvia is a project made by Skanska and IKEA in partnership with Queen Silvia, which is aimed at improving the level of dementia care. (SilviaBo以西尔维娅王后命名，是Skanska和宜家与西尔维娅王后合作的项目，旨在提高痴呆症护理水平)”可知，SilviaBo旨在完善痴呆症护理水平。故答案为：SilviaBo is aimed at perfecting the level of dementia care. 52．细节理解题。根据第四段中“All of the apartments’ facilities are designed similarly, like furniture and bathroom equipment, which helps keep the costs down. (所有公寓的设施都是类似的设计，比如家具和浴室设备，这有助于降低成本)”可知，为了降低成本，SilviaBo所有公寓的设施都是统一设计的。故答案为：All of the apartments’ facilities in SilviaBo are designed uniformly. 53．词句猜测题。根据画线部分的上文“She truly devotes herself to this project. (她真的全身心地投入到这个项目中)”可知，王后在这个项目中投入了很多，由此可知，画线部分指“这个项目是她的心血”。故答案为：The project is her devotion. 54．细节理解题。根据第六段中“She said that her mother suffered from Alzheimer’s, one type of dementia. Therefore, SilviaBo homes were important to her. (她说她的母亲患有阿尔茨海默氏症，这是痴呆症的一种。因此，SilviaBo住房对她来说很重要)”可知，王后能理解痴呆症患者是因为她妈妈得了老年痴呆症。故答案为：Because her mother had Alzheimer’s. 55．开放性试题。本题为开放性试题，结合文章内容，言之有理即可。例如，根据最后一段中““It’s much cheaper for society and the public to help them at home.” These creative solutions are the key to giving people with dementia a good quality of life. (“对社会和公众来说，在家里帮助他们要便宜得多。”这些创造性的解决方案是让痴呆症患者过上高质量生活的关键)”可知，SilviaBo住宅很棒，因为它们不仅便宜得多，而且可以给痴呆症患者提供高质量的生活。故答案为：SilviaBo homes are great because they are much cheaper and can give people with dementia a good quality of life. Passage 3 （2024-2025学年高二上·天津市河东区·期中） Saving money is easy when you don’t have anything else to spend it on, but what should we do when things pop up that demand some of your hard-earned cash? These are called expenses. Chances are that most of your basic living expenses — food, shelter, clothing, medical care — are covered by your family. But perhaps you and your family have agreed that you’ll pay for certain other expenses out of your own money, such as cell phone minutes, after-school snacks, clothing and small jewelry, or club dues. Expenses that happen regularly, like every week or month, are called “fixed” expenses. The good news is that you know when these expenses are coming, and you can plan for them. But life is full of surprises, and sometimes these surprises turn into expenses, too. You might have an emergency like fixing a flat tire on your bike, or just something unusual like the class trip. These are called “unexpected” expenses — and if you’re smart with your money, you’ll plan for these as well. Here’s a secret when it comes to saving money: if you think of it as a regular expense, it’ll be easier to put a certain amount aside. Tell yourself that the $20.00 you’re trying to save up every month is something you absolutely must do, and there’s no getting around it. Can you think of any unexpected expenses that you had in the past or you might have in the near future? In this case, you should track your cash flow by creating a cash flow journal in a notebook. That means you keep a record of every amount you earn, spend, and save. Thus we can have a clear idea about our earnings, expenses and savings. And then we can enjoy a sound sleep without any worry. 56．What does the underlined phrase “pop up” in the first paragraph mean in English? (no more than 5 words) 57．How many types does the writer divide expenses into? What are they? (no more than 10 words) 58．What’s Paragraph 4 mainly about? (no more than 8 words) 59．For what purpose do we create a cash flow journal? (no more than 12 words) 60．What is your own way to solve the problem with unexpected expenses? (no more than 20 words) 【答案】56．Appear suddenly/Occur suddenly/Happen suddenly. 57．Two. Fixed expenses and unexpected expenses. 58．A secret to save money./How to save money. 59．To know clearly about our earnings, expenses and savings. 60．To solve the problem with unexpected expenses I always try to set aside a fixed amount of money. 【导语】本文属于说明文，文章主要向我们描述了日常生活中的费用所花费的地方，如生活费用、固定费用、意外费用等。 56．考查词句猜测。根据文章第一段“Saving money is easy when you don’t have anything else to spend it on, but what should we do when things pop up that demand some of your hard-earned cash? These are called expenses.(当你没有其他东西可以花的时候，省钱很容易，但当需要你辛苦赚来的钱的事情pop up时，我们该怎么办？这些被称为费用)”可知此处的需要花我们血汗钱的事情是一些没有预料到的事情，即突然出现的事情，所以划线词pop up的意思是Appear suddenly/Occur suddenly/Happen suddenly，故答案为Appear suddenly/Occur suddenly/Happen suddenly. 57．考查细节理解。根据文章第三段“Expenses that happen regularly, like every week or month, are called “fixed” expenses. (每周或每月定期发生的费用称为“固定”费用)”以及“You might have an emergency like fixing a flat tire on your bike, or just something unusual like the class trip. These are called “unexpected” expenses — and if you’re smart with your money, you’ll plan for these as well.(你可能会遇到紧急情况，比如修理自行车爆胎，或者只是一些不寻常的事情，比如课堂旅行。这些被称为“意外”开支——如果你对钱很精明，你也会为这些开支做好计划)”可知作者将费用分成了两类，即固定费用和意外费用。故答案为Two. Fixed expenses and unexpected expenses. 58．考查主旨大意。根据文章第四段“Here’s a secret when it comes to saving money: if you think of it as a regular expense, it’ll be easier to put a certain amount aside.(说到省钱，这里有一个秘密：如果你把它看作是一笔常规费用，那么节省一定数额会更容易。)”可知第四段主要讨论的是如何省钱或者省钱的秘密，故答案为A secret to save money./How to save money. 59．考查细节理解。根据文章最后一段“That means you keep a record of every amount you earn, spend, and save. Thus we can have a clear idea about our earnings, expenses and savings. And then we can enjoy a sound sleep without any worry.(这意味着你要记录你赚的、花的、存的每一笔钱。因此，我们可以有一个清晰的概念，我们的收入，支出和储蓄。然后我们可以享受一个没有任何担心的好睡眠。)”可知创建一个现金日记账的目的是为了我们可以对自己的收入、开支和储蓄有一个清晰的概念，故答案为To know clearly about our earnings, expenses and savings. 60．考查开放答题。考生结合自身实际，言之有理即可，例如：为了解决意外开支的问题，我总是试着存一笔固定的钱。故答案为To solve the problem with unexpected expenses I always try to set aside a fixed amount of money. 主题04 人与社会——励志 Passage 1 （2023-2024学年高二上·天津市弘毅中学·期中） Near the small own of Grottoes, Virginia, a narrow dirt road goes from the house of Stephen Curry’s grandfather to the woods nearby. A far cry from the bright lights and shiny courts of the National Basketball Association (NBA), it was along this road that Stephen’s grandfather built a simple basket by attaching a piece of plastic to a telephone pole. Like his fathers, basketball star Dell Curry, Stephen spent many childhood hours playing on this muddy basketball court. He probably didn’t realise it at the time, but it was where he learnt to be creative and flexible as a player. You see, with every shot, the weak plastic backboard gave way. The bumps and rocks that lined the road under the basket caused the ball to bounce in all directions. Knowing where the ball would go wasn’t easy. He had to adjust his own playing style as a result. Shooting with great accuracy was another thing he learnt. Only shots perfectly aimed at its centre went into the heavy, thick basket. In this way, practising day in and day out helped Stephen sharpen his skills. Despite his father’s successful career, Stephen was thought by many people, including his high school teammates and coaches, to be too short, too thin and too weak to follow in his father’s footsteps. But Stephen carried on. Playing basketball was his dream. He would not give up. He finally end up playing college ball at a small, little-known school, Davidson College, not too far from where he lived. His creativity and perseverance made him Davidson’s star player. Selected for the NBA in 2009, Stephen joined the Golden State Warriors. He performed beyond everyone’s expectations with his accurate shooting and continuous efforts. In 2015, Stephen won his first NBA championship, and he led the Warriors to their first championship since 1975. After receiving the Most Valuable Player award for two years in a row, Stephen explained his philosophy, “I never really set out to change the game. What I wanted to do was just be myself..I know it inspires a lot of the next generation, a lot of people who love the game of basketball to value the skill of it, value the fact that you can work every single day to get better. You’ve got to be able to put in the time and the work. That’s how I got here. That’s how I continue to get better every single day.” Inspiring others to believe in themselves, Stephen Curry is living proof that what other people think of you does not have to influence what you become. Through self-belief, hard work, perseverance and some help from an old hoop, he has shown that anything is possible. 61．Why does the author mention the “simple basket” at the beginning of the passage?  (No more than 15 words ) 62．What made the ball go in all directions? (No more than 10 words ) 63．What does the underlined word “day in and day out” mean in English? (No more than 5 words) 64．When did Stephen Curry led the Warriors to their first championship?  (No more than 10 words) 65．What can we learn from Stephen’s success? (No more than 10 words ) 【答案】61．To show that Stephen’s basketball career developed from a low point 62．The bumps and rocks under the basket. 63．Everyday. 64．He led the Warriors to their first championship in 2015. 65．Self-belief, hard work and perseverance account for success. 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了Stephen Curry通过自信、努力、毅力和来自别人的帮助，最终成为了一名优秀的篮球运动员的故事。 61．考查推理判断。根据文章第一段“Near the small own of Grottoes, Virginia, a narrow dirt road goes from the house of Stephen Curry’s grandfather to the woods nearby. A far cry from the bright lights and shiny courts of the National Basketball Association (NBA), it was along this road that Stephen’s grandfather built a simple basket by attaching a piece of plastic to a telephone pole.(在弗吉尼亚州的小石窟附近，一条狭窄的土路从斯蒂芬·库里的祖父的房子通往附近的树林。这里远离美国国家篮球协会(NBA)明亮的灯光和闪闪发光的球场，正是在这条路上，斯蒂芬的祖父把一块塑料绑在电线杆上，做了一个简单的篮筐。)”可知，文章开头提到“简单的篮筐”是为了展示斯蒂芬的篮球生涯是从一个低谷发展起来的。故答案为：To show that Stephen’s basketball career developed from a low point. 62．考查细节理解。根据第二段“The bumps and rocks that lined the road under the basket caused the ball to bounce in all directions.(篮筐下的道路两旁的颠簸和岩石使球向四面八方弹跳。)”可知，篮筐下的坑洼和石头使得球四处乱弹。故答案为：The bumps and rocks under the basket. 63．考查词义猜测。根据划线词所在句子“Only shots perfectly aimed at its centre went into the heavy, thick basket. In this way, practising day in and day out helped Stephen sharpen his skills.(只有完全瞄准球门中心的射门才会进入又厚又重的篮筐。就这样，日复一日的练习帮助斯蒂芬提高了他的技能。)”可知“Day in and day out”意思是“每天”，即Everyday。故答案为：Everyday. 64．考查细节理解。根据第四段最后一句“In 2015, Stephen won his first NBA championship, and he led the Warriors to their first championship since 1975.(2015年，斯蒂芬赢得了他的第一个NBA总冠军，他带领勇士队获得了自1975年以来的第一个总冠军。)”可知 Stephen Curry在2015年带领勇士队赢得了他们的第一个冠军。故答案为：He led the Warriors to their first championship in 2015. 65．考查细节理解。根据最后一段“Inspiring others to believe in themselves, Stephen Curry is living proof that what other people think of you does not have to influence what you become. Through self-belief, hard work, perseverance and some help from an old hoop, he has shown that anything is possible.(斯蒂芬·库里激励着别人相信自己，他是一个活生生的例子，证明了别人对你的看法并不一定会影响你成为什么样的人。通过自信、努力、毅力和一个旧铁箍的帮助，他证明了一切皆有可能。)”可知从Stephen的成功中我们可以学到，自信、努力和毅力是成功的要素。故答案为：Self-belief, hard work and perseverance account for success. Passage 2 （2024-2025学年高二上·天津市静海区第六中学·期中） Wang Yi, who can’t walk or even communicate normally, has written eight books with one movable finger. Wang was born with cerebral palsy (脑瘫) in Jiangsu Province in 1989. Restricted to a wheelchair as she began to grow up, she even has difficulty eating and bathing. However, Wang and her parents have stayed roseate throughout. Since childhood, Wang’s parents have been telling her to regard herself as a normal person even if she is physically disabled. She practiced performing daily activities repeatedly. With her parents’ help, she learned to live with her physical disability and aimed to be an out-standing writer. Before the age of 17, Wang completed nine years of compulsory education and acquired much literary knowledge. With the encouragement of her teacher, she became more determined to pursue her dream of writing. Literature has become a medium for her to communicate with the world. Sitting in a wheelchair, Wang pursues her dream in her own way.

Jidi Majia, Vice Chairman of the China Writers Association commented, “Although Wang Yi has a disability, the spirit shown in her works is positive.

Restricted to a wheelchair as she began to grow up, she even has difficulty eating and bathing.(王于1989年出生在江苏省，患有脑瘫。随着她的成长，她只能坐轮椅，甚至连吃饭和洗澡都有困难)”可知，脑瘫使王怡只能坐在轮椅上，甚至连吃饭和洗澡都有困难。故答案为She has difficulty in eating and bathing in her wheelchair. 67．考查词句猜测。根据划线词下文的“Since childhood, Wang’s parents have been telling her to regard herself as a normal person even if she is physically disabled. She practiced performing daily activities repeatedly. With her parents’ help, she learned to live with her physical disability and aimed to be an out-standing writer. Before the age of 17, Wang completed nine years of compulsory education and acquired much literary knowledge. With the encouragement of her teacher, she became more determined to pursue her dream of writing.(从小，王的父母就告诉她，即使身体残疾，也要把自己当作一个正常人。她反复练习日常活动。在父母的帮助下，她学会了忍受身体上的残疾，并立志成为一名杰出的作家。在17岁之前，王完成了9年的义务教育，并获得了许多文学知识。在老师的鼓励下，她更加坚定了追求写作梦想的决心)”可知，尽管身有残疾，但在父母的鼓励和帮助下，王怡能够积极乐观的面对生活，且有坚定的梦想。所以，划线单词的意义为“乐观的；积极的”。故答案为Positive/Optimistic。 68．考查细节理解。根据第三段的句子“Literature has become a medium for her to communicate with the world. Sitting in a wheelchair, Wang pursues her dream in her own way.

That was until a few months ago. Recently, my daughter Zoe started her second year of middle school with a new sense of awareness, asking me to fix the “little girl” pattern on her wheel-chair seat. Not wanting her to be noticeable at school, I spent hours filling in pale yellow stars with a black marker, eager to erase whatever childish signs I could. Shortly after, Zoe got really sick and had to miss 20 days of school. This meant our days were filled with rushing between hospital appointments and meetings with the school, as we tried to make sure she didn't fall behind on her schoolwork. I felt pulled back to a time when she was little and her sickness was a huge part of her life. Back then, it seemed like Zoe lived in hospitals, as she spent so much time in them. No matter how sick she got, however, she always had a positive attitude. But this time was different: Zoe was no longer singing like she normally did. Zoe usually sang all the time, whether she was playing, riding in the car, or just doing her homework. There was no need for a radio in our house; Zoe provided the music for us. Consumed (被折磨) with my motherly worries, it was more concerning to me than her sickness. One day, however,I heard her beautiful voice as I was cooking dinner. I stopped what I was doing and just smiled. “Pure delight,” I thought to myself. Her voice slowly grew stronger, and soon, both the car and the house were filled with her music once more. How had I not noticed her singing had completely stopped, weeks and weeks ago? Now, thankfully, she’s back in school, smiling and singing, and I’m thankful for each and every song she sings. These days, whenever I hear a stranger singing a song to themselves,I don’t get mad. Instead, I smile, as I know that by singing out loud, they’re simply sharing their happiness with the world. 76．How did the author use to feel when she heard strangers singing.( no more than 5 words) 77．What do you think Zoe was like?( no more than 10 words) 78．What does “it” in Paragraph 6 refer to?( no more than 10 words) 79．Why did the author say “There was no need for a radio in our house” ?( no more than 15 words) 80．What is your opinion about “singing out loud”?( no more than 20 words) 【答案】76．She used to feel annoyed./ She thought it was annoying. 77．She has a positive attitude and loves singing. 78．Zoe was no longer singing like she normally did. 79．Zoe usually sings all the time and provided the music for her/ him/ them. 80．Singing out loud means I have a good mood and want to share my happiness with others./I am living a happy life/ everything in my life is smooth/I want to express my happy feelings. 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了作者的女儿Zoe因病停止歌唱的经历，通过恢复歌声展示她的坚强与乐观。同时，作者从中改变了对大声歌唱的看法，接受了它作为分享快乐的一种方式。 76．细节理解题。根据第一段的“Whenever I heard strangers singing out loud, whether it was in the supermarket or on the street, I used to think how annoying it was. That was until a few months ago.(每当我在超市或街上听到陌生人高声唱歌时，我以前总觉得很烦人。直到几个月前才有了变化)”可知，当作者听到陌生人唱歌时，她过去觉得很烦人。故答案为She used to feel annoyed./ She thought it was annoying. 77．细节理解题。根据第四段的“No matter how sick she got, however, she always had a positive attitude.(然而，无论她病得多重，她总是有积极的态度)”以及第五段的“Zoe usually sang all the time, whether she was playing, riding in the car, or just doing her homework. There was no need for a radio in our house; Zoe provided the music for us.(佐伊通常整天唱歌，无论她是在玩、在车里还是只是做作业。我们家不需要收音机；佐伊为我们提供了音乐)”可知，Zoe态度积极，喜欢唱歌。故答案为She has a positive attitude and loves singing. 78．词句猜测题。根据第五段的“But this time was different: Zoe was no longer singing like she normally did.(但这次不一样了：佐伊不再像往常那样唱歌了)”以及划线单词的后面“more concerning to me than her sickness(比她的病更让我担心)”可知，Zoe整天唱歌，所以她不再像往常那样唱歌了这件事让作者担忧。所以it指的是“佐伊不再像往常那样唱歌了”。故答案为Zoe was no longer singing like she normally did. 79．词句猜测题。根据第五段的“Zoe usually sang all the time, whether she was playing, riding in the car, or just doing her homework. There was no need for a radio in our house; Zoe provided the music for us.(佐伊通常一直在唱歌，无论她是在玩，在车里，还是只是在做作业。我们家不需要收音机；佐伊为我们提供了音乐)”可知，Zoe整天唱歌，为家人提供了音乐，所以就不用收音机了。“There was no need for a radio in our house”的意思为佐伊通常一直在唱歌，并为家人提供音乐。故答案为Zoe usually sings all the time and provided the music for her/ him/ them. 80．开放性试题。本题为开放性试题，答案不唯一，合理即可。题目为“你对“大声唱歌”有什么看法？”答案可以为“大声唱歌意味着我心情很好，想和别人分享我的快乐/我过着幸福的生活/我生活中的一切都很顺利/我想表达我的幸福感”。故答案为Singing out loud means I have a good mood and want to share my happiness with others./I am living a happy life/ everything in my life is smooth/I want to express my happy feelings. Passage 2 （2023-2024学年高二上·天津市第一百中学、咸水沽第一中学联考·期中） Teamwork is an important part of the health and fitness program at Spirit Club, where most of the participants have disabilities. Jared Ciner created the program two years ago, “Our main focus is the same thing as any other gym’s, which is to help people be active and healthy, but the difference is that we do change a little bit to make sure that it is right pace for the people we are working with, so that everybody can follow along.” Ciner used to work as a director for a local organization aimed at helping people with disabilities and as apart-time personal trainer at gyms. “I noticed that many of the people who I was working with who had disabilities did not exercise, struggled with weight problems, and were looking for more physical methods and more social ways,” he said. His volunteer experience in Ethiopia working with children from very poor families helped him understand the influence of organized physical activity, too. “That helped me realize how much organized physical activity can help people connect to each other and increase people’s self-esteem (自尊),” Ciner said. Classes at Spirit Club are interactive, and students can come with parents. They participate in partnered workouts and learn balance, strength, speed and agility (灵活性). They are also encouraged to eat right. Alan Bradshaw, who is mentally disabled, has been coming to classes for two years. “He recently lost 21 pounds,” said his mother. “He is more outgoing. When he first started, he couldn’t sit on the floor, get down on the floor. He is doing that now. Great changes have happened to him and it is an important step forward for him. He likes the gym because he can make friends easily and exercise at the same time,” she said. 81．What is the main purpose of the program at Spirit Club? (no more than 8 words) 82．What was Jared Ciner before he created Spirit Club? (no more than 15 words) 83．What is Jared Ciner’s view on organized physical activities? (no more than 13 words) 84．How does the underlined part in the last paragraph mean? (no more than 2 words) 85．What do you think of Spirit Club? Give reasons in your own words. (no more than 25 words) 【答案】81．To help people be active and healthy. 82．He worked as a director for a local organization and a personal trainer at gyms. 83．It can help people connect to each other and increase their self-esteem. 84．Great progress. 85．I think it great. It helps people stay healthy and communicate with each other. 【导语】本文是说明文。报道了精神俱乐部的健康和健身计划，该计划专注于帮助残疾人保持活跃和健康。 81．考查细节理解。根据第二段“Our main focus is the same thing as any other gym’s, which is to help people be active and healthy, but the difference is that we do change a little bit to make sure that it is right pace for the people we are working with, so that everybody can follow along.(我们的主要重点和其他任何健身房一样，就是帮助人们积极和健康，但不同的是，我们确实做了一些改变，以确保它是适合我们工作的人的节奏，这样每个人都能跟上)”可知，精神俱乐部活动的主要目的是帮助人们保持活跃和健康。故回答：To help people be active and healthy. 82．考查细节理解。根据第三段“Ciner used to work as a director for a local organization aimed at helping people with disabilities and as apart-time personal trainer at gyms.(Ciner曾在当地一家旨在帮助残疾人的组织担任主管，并在健身房担任兼职私人教练)”可知，Ciner在创建精神俱乐部之前曾在当地一家机构担任主管，并在健身房担任私人教练。故回答：He worked as a director for a local organization and a personal trainer at gyms. 83．考查细节理解。根据第四段““That helped me realize how much organized physical activity can help people connect to each other and increase people’s self-esteem (自尊),” Ciner said.(Ciner说：“这让我意识到有组织的体育活动可以帮助人们相互联系，提高人们的自尊心。”)”可知，Ciner认为有组织的体育活动可以帮助人们相互联系，增强他们的自尊。故回答：It can help people connect to each other and increase their self-esteem. 84．考查词句猜测。根据前文“Alan Bradshaw, who is mentally disabled, has been coming to classes for two years. “He recently lost 21 pounds,” said his mother. “He is more outgoing. When he first started, he couldn’t sit on the floor, get down on the floor. He is doing that now.(智障人士艾伦·布拉德肖(Alan Bradshaw)已经来上课两年了。“他最近瘦了21磅，”他妈妈说。“他更外向了。当他刚开始的时候，他不能坐在地板上，不能在地板上坐下。他现在正在这么做)”可知，他更外向了，发生了很大的变化，所以推测an important step forward应是“很大的进步”之意，可替换为great progress。故填Great progress. 85．开放性问题。本题可根据俱乐部的宗旨以及取得的成果方面进行回答，例如，可说它帮助人们保持健康和相互交流。故回答：I think it great. It helps people stay healthy and communicate with each other. 2 / 39 1 / 39 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
