But Farber is certain he’ll have the last laugh. He’s one of a small but growing number of American veterinarians (兽医) now practicing “holistic” medicine-combining traditional Western treatments with acupuncture, chiropractic (按摩疗法) and herbal medicine. 24. What do some of Farber’s coworkers think of him? A. He’s odd. B. He’s strict. C. He’s brave. D. He’s rude. 【思维过程】 ●题干关键词→What→think of him ●文章定位：If he seems a little defensive, it might be because even some of his coworkers occasionally laugh at his unusual methods.( 如果他看起来有点自卫，那可能是因为他的一些同事偶尔会嘲笑他不寻常的方法。) → odd ●解析思维过程→laugh at his unusual methods→ odd→15→A. He’s odd ●故选A 细节理解题。根据第一段的“If he seems a little defensive, it might be because even some of his coworkers occasionally laugh at his unusual methods.( 如果他看起来有点自卫，那可能是因为他的一些同事偶尔会嘲笑他不寻常的方法。) ”可知，Farber的同事们有时会嘲笑他不寻常的方法，他们认为他很奇怪。故选A。 2.（2022年新高考全国Ⅱ卷）Sorry, kid. This book is not part of your high-tech world. It’s an outdated, lifeless thing. An antique, like your grandfather. Well, I may be old, but I’m not hopelessly challenged, digitally speaking. I edit video and produce audio. I use mobile payment. I’ve even built websites. 6. What does the author think of himself? A. Socially ambitious. B. Physically attractive. C. Financially independent. D. Digitally competent. 【思维过程】 ●题干关键词→What → think of himself ●文章定位：Well, I may be old, but I’m not hopelessly challenged, digitally speaking.I edit video and produce audio. I use mobile payment. I’ve even built websites.→Digitally competent ●解析思维过程→I edit video and produce audio. I use mobile payment. I’ve even built websites.→D. Digitally competent ●故选D 细节理解题。根据倒数第三段中“Well, I may be old, but I’m not hopelessly challenged, digitally speaking. I edit video and produce audio. I use mobile payment. I’ve even built websites. (我可能老了，但从数字角度来说，我还没有毫无希望的挑战。我编辑视频，制作音频。我用移动支付。我甚至建立了网站)”可知，作者认为自己懂数码技术。故选D。 3.（2025·河北省部分学校高三下学期二轮复习联考（三））At first, Lamm tried to put her phone in a drawer and didn’t look at it for a whole day, which she said “was very inconvenient to everyone in my life”. It took her about a year to sell her smartphone and fully commit to the dumbphone lifestyle. Her dumbphone offers only basic calling and texting. Still, there are certain things that may feel impossible to navigate without smartphones, since they are more than just texting and scrolling (滚动) through social media. In 2025, these devices function as virtual wallets, health trackers, identification tools, and even personal assistants. However, Lamm has found solutions for the challenges. “You figure out these solutions by asking,” Lamm said, “like asking the parking company if they can give you another option when you can’t use parking meter (计时器), and a lot of the time they will” 21．How can we best describe August Lamm according to the text? A．Responsible and strict. B．Determined and adaptable. C．Generous and charitable. D．Fashionable and knowledgeable. 【思维过程】 ●题干关键词→best describe →August Lamm ●文章定位：①It took her about a year to sell her smartphone and fully commit to the dumbphone lifestyle.→Determined ②However, Lamm has found solutions for the challenges.→adaptable ●解析思维过程→①+②→B．Determined and adaptable ●故选B 21．推理判断题。根据第二段中“It took her about a year to sell her smartphone and fully commit to the dumbphone lifestyle. (她花了大约一年的时间才卖掉自己的智能手机，并完全投入到功能手机的生活方式中。)”以及第三段中“However, Lamm has found solutions for the challenges. (然而，Lamm已经找到了应对这些挑战的方法。)”可知，August Lamm决心放弃智能手机，并且能够适应没有智能手机的生活，找到应对挑战的方法，说明她是一个有决心且适应能力强的人。故选B。 1.（2026·陕青晋宁四省高三上学期第一次联考）I was 21 when I broke the world record as the youngest woman to ski solo (独自地) to the South Pole. On the hardest day, snow piled up to my knees, the wind howled like a wild beast, and the cold pierced through every layer of my clothes. My sledge (雪橇) felt heavier with each step, my muscles burning, and my breath shallow in the thin air. But I refused to stop. Growing up in Norway, I was easily exposed to the wilderness. Stories of Roald Amundsen, the first man to reach the South Pole, filled me with wonder. And that was when my desire to explore nature was born. I spent hours skiing in the mountains, camping under stars, and starting campfires with frozen fingers. At 14, I made a brave decision — to ski across Greenland. Most people doubted me. I was just under 5 feet tall and looked more like a child than an explorer. But Lars Ebbesen, a famous polar guide, saw my determination and trained me. He taught me how to fix broken equipment with frozen hands and read the sky for signs of danger. “You must be strong and smart,” he told me over and over. To prove myself, I then went on a training trip to Finnmark, where darkness ruled and temperatures fell to -35℃. I learned to set up tents with frozen hands and sleep through winds that shook the earth. Finally I set off with Lars and it took us 28 days to cross Greenland. Encouraged, at 15, I decided my next goal was Antarctica. My father helped me make plans. My mother, though cautious, eventually supported me. When I finally began my 1,130 km journey to the South Pole last November, I was 21. Some days, I cried behind my glasses, struggling through snowstorms, dragging my aching body forward. But I never gave up. Fifty-four days later, I reached the South Pole. I stood in silence, tears freezing on my cheeks. I sent Lars a chick emoji — at last, the “polar egg” hatched. 1．What inspired the author to explore nature? A．Her desire to break a record. B．Her love for South Pole. C．Her mother’s encouragement. D．Her admiration for Roald. 2．How did Lars help the author? A．By teaching her survival skills. B．By financing her exploration. C．By training her to ski skillfully. D．By convincing her parents to support her. 3．What can we learn from paragraph 4 about the author? A．She gathered some hands-on experience. B．She went to Finnmark accompanied by a guide. C．She was praised for her courage by many people. D．She met many challenges when crossing Greenland. 4．Which of the following can best describe the author? A．Outgoing and caring. B．Ambitious and sensitive. C．Humorous and considerate. D．Adventurous and determined. 【答案】1．D 2．A 3．A 4．D 【解析】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者作为最年轻的独自滑雪到南极的女性打破世界纪录的经历，以及她从小对自然探索的热爱和成长过程中的努力与坚持。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段中“Stories of Roald Amundsen, the first man to reach the South Pole, filled me with wonder. And that was when my desire to explore nature was born.(罗尔德·阿蒙森是第一个到达南极点的人，他的故事让我充满了惊奇。就在那时，我萌生了探索自然的愿望)”可知，作者对罗尔德的钦佩激发了她探索自然的欲望。故选D项。 2．细节理解题。根据第三段中“But Lars Ebbesen, a famous polar guide, saw my determination and trained me. He taught me how to fix broken equipment with frozen hands and read the sky for signs of danger.(但著名的极地向导拉尔斯·埃布森看到了我的决心，并锻炼我。他教我如何用冻僵的手修理损坏的设备，以及如何观察天空寻找危险的迹象)”可知，拉尔斯通过教她生存技能来帮助作者。故选A项。 3．细节理解题。根据第四段“To prove myself, I then went on a training trip to Finnmark, where darkness ruled and temperatures fell to -35℃. I learned to set up tents with frozen hands and sleep through winds that shook the earth. Finally I set off with Lars and it took us 28 days to cross Greenland.(为了证明自己，我去芬马克进行了一次训练，那里一片黑暗，气温降至零下35℃。我学会了用冻僵的手搭帐篷，在震动大地的风中入睡。最后我和拉尔斯一起出发了，我们花了28天穿越格陵兰岛)”可知，作者在穿越格陵兰岛时获得了一些实际经验。故选A项。 4．推理判断题。根据第一段中“I was 21 when I broke the world record as the youngest woman to ski solo to the South Pole.(我21岁时打破了世界纪录，成为独自滑雪到南极的最年轻女性)”和最后一段中“When I finally began my 1,130 km journey to the South Pole last November, I was 21. Some days, I cried behind my glasses, struggling through snowstorms, dragging my aching body forward. But I never gave up. Fifty-four days later, I reached the South Pole.(去年11月，当我终于开始1130公里的南极之旅时，我21岁。有些日子，我戴着眼镜哭泣，在暴风雪中挣扎，拖着疼痛的身体向前走。但我从未放弃。五十四天后，我到达了南极)”可知，作者独自滑雪到南极，从小就有探索自然的欲望，并且在面对困难时从不放弃，由此可推断出，作者是有冒险精神(adventurous)和决心的(determined)。故选D项。 2.（2026·河北省部分学校高三上学期9月开学考试） Growing up, I was one of those energetic kids who never sat still. I was always doing cartwheels, flips, and generally bouncing off the walls whenever I got the chance. At the age of 4, I started in gymnastics and used that as an outlet for my endless energy for several years. I participated in gymnastics until the age of 10, when I had a conversation with my parents that changed the direction of my life forever. When talking about my early gymnastics career, I failed to mention that I was born with fibular hemimelia (腓侧半肢畸形) — meaning I didn’t have fibulas, ankles, heels, and most of the other bones in my feet. At 18 months old, both of my lower legs were cut off, so I could be fitted with prosthetic (假体的) legs and learn to walk. Then, as a 10-year-old, my parents sat me down to tell me that at some point I would have to wear prosthetics during gymnastics because I would damage my knees from all of the force I was subjecting them to. I tried gymnastics with my prosthetics and it just didn’t feel right. At that point, I knew my future wasn’t in gymnastics. But I always felt like I was a mermaid (美人鱼) or a fish when I got into the water, so after moving on from the beam (平衡木) to the pool, I started doing competitive swimming. Through years of hard training, however, I went from the little girl who wasn’t comfortable doing gymnastics with my prosthetics to a 17-time Paralympic medalist with my eyes squarely set on the next Paralympic Games. I’m often asked by media or people I come across what advice I have for kids with disabilities or kids that might be going through issues in school. My answer is that it’s important to always be confident, find something you’re really passionate about — whether it’s reading, music, cooking, or sports, and really go for it. 1．What was the author’s initial passion? A．Music. B．Gymnastics. C．Cooking. D．Swimming. 2．Why did the author start to work on swimming? A．It was her dream to become a swimmer. B．Her parents stopped her from doing gymnastics. C．She wanted to participate in Paralympic Games. D．Gymnastics with prosthetics made her uncomfortable. 3．Which words can best describe the author? A．Talented and generous. B．Friendly and humorous. C．Energetic and confident. D．Brilliant and warm-hearted. 4．What may be the best title for the text? A．A Disabled Girl’s Sad Story B．To Win Paralympic Medals C．From the Beam to the Pool D．My Great Sports Achievements 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．C 4．C 【解析】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者虽然天生腓侧半肢畸形、幼年截肢，却先投身体操，后因假肢体操不适转练游泳，终于成为17枚残奥会奖牌得主，并分享对困境中孩子的建议。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段“At the age of 4, I started in gymnastics and used that as an outlet for my endless energy for several years. (4岁时，我开始练习体操，并在接下来的几年里把它作为我无尽精力的发泄途径)”可知，作者最初的热情是体操。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据第三段“I tried gymnastics with my prosthetics and it just didn’t feel right. (我试着用假肢做体操，但感觉就是不对劲)”以及第四段“At that point, I knew my future wasn’t in gymnastics. But I always felt like I was a mermaid (美人鱼) or a fish when I got into the water, so after moving on from the beam (平衡木) to the pool, I started doing competitive swimming. (那时，我知道我的未来不在体操上。但当我下水时，我总是觉得自己像一条美人鱼或一条鱼，所以从平衡木转到游泳池后，我开始进行竞技游泳)”可知，作者开始游泳是因为用假肢做体操让她感到不舒服。故选D。 3．推理判断题。根据第一段“Growing up, I was one of those energetic kids who never sat still. (我从小就是那种精力充沛、从不安静坐着的孩子之一)”以及最后一段“My answer is that it’s important to always be confident, find something you’re really passionate about — whether it’s reading, music, cooking, or sports, and really go for it. (我的回答是，重要的是要始终保持自信，找到你真正热爱的事情——无论是阅读、音乐、烹饪还是运动，然后全力以赴)”可知，作者是一个精力充沛且自信的人。故选C。 4．主旨大意题。根据第四段“At that point, I knew my future wasn’t in gymnastics. But I always felt like I was a mermaid (美人鱼) or a fish when I got into the water, so after moving on from the beam (平衡木) to the pool, I started doing competitive swimming. (那时，我知道我的未来不在体操上。但当我下水时，我总是觉得自己像一条美人鱼或一条鱼，所以从平衡木转到游泳池后，我开始进行竞技游泳)”以及文章内容可知，文章主要讲述了作者从体操转向游泳的经历，以及她如何通过努力训练成为残奥会奖牌得主的故事，所以“从平衡木到游泳池”最能概括文章的主题，适合作为文章标题。故选C。 考点二 描述作者对发生事件的态度 高考记叙文阅读理解中常有描述作者对事件的态度阅读理解题。命题人通过文章中对文章的整体内容的思考，进而让考生推测作者的写作态度。 【解题指导】 把描述作者态度的词一一列出，基本上考题不会超出这些词汇，考前把它们的意思记熟。预测每个词需要和什么样的事实相对应，这样在考场上就能迅速地找到答案。对这种题要迅速解决，以给其他试题提供做题时间。 【描写作者态度的形容词】（选项常用词） ambitious有雄心的；undoubted无怀疑的；indifferent冷漠的；unconfident没信心的；uncaring不关心的；worried担心的；satisfied满意的；cautious谨慎的；favorable赞同的；doubtful怀疑的；uninterested不感兴趣的；frightened 害怕的；puzzled迷惑不解的；concerned关心的；happy高兴的；tolerant忍受的；sympathetic同情的； delighted高兴的；carefree无忧无虑的; 无牵挂的; 不负责任的 unclear不清楚的； opposed反对的；appreciative adj.感激的; 感谢的; 欣赏的; 赏识的; suspicious adj.感觉可疑的; 怀疑的; 令人怀疑的; 可疑的; 不信任的; 持怀疑态度的；objective adj.客观的; 就事论事的; 不带个人感情的; 客观存在的; 基于事实的; confused迷惑不解的；conservative adj.保守的; 守旧的;pessimistic悲观的； disapproving不同意的；ambiguous模棱两可的；skeptical怀疑的 熟记这些作者态度的形容词，深刻理解每个词的含义。设想每个词可能的描述事实。这样我们在考试上，就能迅速找到正确答案。 （2024北京卷）When I was a little girl, I liked drawing, freely and joyously making marks on the walls at home. In primary school, I learned to write using chalks. Writing seemed to be another form of drawing. I shaped individual letters into repeating lines, which were abstract forms, delightful but meaningless patterns. In secondary school, art was my favourite subject. Since. I loved it so much I thought I was good at it. For the art O-level exam I had to present an oil painting. I found it difficult, but still hoped to pass. I failed, with a low grade. I’d been over-confident. Now I’d been declared talentless. But other channels of creativity stayed open: I went on writing poems and stories. Still, I went to exhibitions often. I continued my habitual drawing, which I now characterised as childish doodling (乱画). In my 30s, I made painter friends and learned new ways of looking at art. However, I couldn’t let myself have a go at actually doing it. Though these new friends were abstract painters using oil paints, or were printmakers or sculptors, I took oil painting as the taboo (禁忌) high form I wasn’t allowed to practice. One night, in my early 40s, I dreamed that a big woman in red approached me, handed me a bag of paints, and told me to start painting. The dream felt so authoritative that it shook me. It was a form of energy, giving me back something I’d lost. Accordingly, I started by experimenting with water colours. Finally, I bought some oil paints. Although I have enjoyed breaking my decades-long taboo about working with oil paints, I have discovered I now prefer chalks and ink. I let my line drawings turn into cartoons I send to friends. It all feels free and easy. Un-anxious. This time around, I can accept my limitations but keep going. Becoming a successful painter calls for being resolute. I realised I was always afraid of wanting too much. That dream reminded me that those fears and desires could encourage me to take risks and make experiments. 24. How did the author feel about the result of the art exam? A. Scared. B. Worried. C. Discouraged. D. Wronged. 【思维过程】 ●题干关键词→ How→result of the art exam ●文章定位：I found it difficult, but still hoped to pass. I failed, with a low grade. I’d been over-confident. Now I’d been declared talentless.→Discouraged ●解析思维过程→ talentless→C. Discouraged ●故选C 26. Which word would best describe the author’s dream? A. Confusing. B. Empowering. C. Disturbing. D. Entertaining. 【思维过程】 ●题干关键词→ best describe→ the author’s dream ●文章定位：The dream felt so authoritative that it shook me. It was a form of energy, giving me back something I’d lost. →Empowering ●解析思维过程→a form of energy→B. Empowering ●故选B 【答案】24. C 26. B 【解析】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者一直喜欢绘画，但中学时由于油画测试成绩较低，作者对绘画失去了信心。在40岁出头时，一个梦让作者重拾画油画的信心并接受了自身局限性的故事。 24.推理判断题。根据第二段“I found it difficult, but still hoped to pass. I failed, with a low grade. I’d been over-confident. Now I’d been declared talentless.(我觉得很难，但仍希望能通过测试。我没有通过，而且成绩很低。我过于自信了。现在，我被宣布为毫无(油画)天赋的人了)”并结合下文中作者多年不碰油画的经历可推知，作者对美术考试的结果感到气馁。故选C。 26.推理判断题。根据第四段“The dream felt so authoritative that it shook me. It was a form of energy, giving me back something I’d lost. (这个梦给我的感觉是如此的权威，它震撼了我。它是能量的一种形式，还给我失去的东西。)”可知，作者的梦赋予作者练习油画的力量。故选B。 （2026·河北省唐山市高三上学期开学）At Broken Hill High School, my Year 9 science class’s crop reports read like death notices, “Tomato plant grew. Then died.”15 identical reports, lacking in curiosity. “Why bother?” Julia kicked dust over her dying young plants, “Google’s got answers.” I realized something was wrong. So I replaced textbooks with tools. “Forget reports. Tend your plot daily-then journal whatever you notice.” No grading rules, no grades. Just earth-covered notebooks. For two weeks, 28 skeptical (持怀疑态度的) teens watered and weeded at the 40°C heat. Then came Julia’s entry, “The cracks in the soil aren’t just dry — they’re thirsty mouths begging. When I pour water, they swallow. Yesterday, an ant drowned in one. Felt like a crime. “Drama queen,” Carlos rolled his eyes. But the next morning, he was bending by his beans, writing “Roots are secret miners. They drill for gold we can’t see.” By harvest month, their journals were filled with sentences like those. “Let’s make a book,” proposed Julia. Using biology lab microscopes, students photographed tiny insects on cabbages. Art class carved lino prints (油粘版画)of root systems. We crowd-funded printing for “Dirt Diaries — True Tales from the School Plot”. My “scientists” sold 200 copies in three hours. Profits went to local farmers. But the true harvest came when Julia handed a copy of “Dirt Diaries” to our librarian. She showed him the “Your Turn” section, which read, “Plant a seed (any seed). When it comes up, write what it whispers. Pass this book on.” Her tomato death notice now reads, “Bye ‘Big Red’ — victim of my ambition (3kg overfed fertilizer). Lesson: More love ≠ more growth. Humans too.” 1．How would you describe the 15 reports? A．Short but lively. B．Technical but vivid. C．Detailed and scientific. D．Similar and uninteresting. 2．What can be inferred from Julia’s journal entry? A．She was afraid of insects. B．She was addicted to literature. C．She was deeply engaged with nature. D．She was anxious about writing reports. 3．Why did Julia give the book to the library? A．To make larger profits from it. B．To please the librarian. C．To earn a lot more reputation for her. D．To call on others to plant and journal. 4．What is the best title for the passage? A．Why More Love killed Growth B．How crop Reports Improved Creativity C．How dirt Under the Nails Grew Stories D．Why Tools Mattered More Than Textbooks 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．D 4．C 【解析】这是一篇记叙文，文章讲述了在Broken Hill高中，9年级科学课上学生们的作物报告千篇一律、缺乏新意，老师改变教学方式，让学生们每天照料土地并记录观察内容，学生们逐渐深入自然，最终将记录内容整理成书，不仅收获了成果，还传递了种植和记录的理念。 1．细节理解题。根据文章第一段“At Broken Hill High School, my Year 9 science class’s crop reports read like death notices, “Tomato plant grew. Then died.”15 identical reports, lacking in curiosity. (在Broken Hill高中，我9年级科学课的作物报告读起来就像死亡通知，“番茄植株生长了，然后死了。”15份相同的报告，缺乏好奇心。)”可知，这15份报告相似且无趣。故选D项。 2．推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Then came Julia’s entry, “The cracks in the soil aren’t just dry — they’re thirsty mouths begging. When I pour water, they swallow. Yesterday, an ant drowned in one. Felt like a crime. (接着是茱莉亚的记录：“土壤中的裂缝不只是干燥——它们是渴望的嘴巴在乞求。当我倒水时，它们就吞咽。昨天，一只蚂蚁在其中一只裂缝里淹死了。感觉就像犯罪。)”可知，茱莉亚对土壤裂缝、蚂蚁等自然现象进行了细致的观察和生动的描述，由此可推断出她深入地融入了自然。故选C项。 3．细节理解题。根据文章第五段“But the true harvest came when Julia handed a copy of “Dirt Diaries” to our librarian. She showed him the “Your Turn” section, which read, “Plant a seed (any seed). When it comes up, write what it whispers. Pass this book on.” (但真正的收获是当茱莉亚把一本《泥土日记》交给我们的图书管理员时。她给他看了“该你行动了”这一部分，上面写着：“种下一颗种子（任何种子）。当它发芽时，写下它低语的内容。把这本书传递下去。”)”可知，茱莉亚把书交给图书馆是为了呼吁其他人种植并记录。故选D项。 4．主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“At Broken Hill High School, my Year 9 science class’s crop reports read like death notices, “Tomato plant grew. Then died.”15 identical reports, lacking in curiosity. (在Broken Hill高中，我9年级科学课的作物报告读起来就像死亡通知，“番茄植株生长了，然后死了。”15份相同的报告，缺乏好奇心.)”、第三段“Then came Julia’s entry, “The cracks in the soil aren’t just dry-they’re thirsty mouths begging. When I pour water, they swallow. Yesterday, an ant drowned in one. Felt like a crime. (接着是茱莉亚的记录：“土壤中的裂缝不只是干燥——它们是渴望的嘴巴在乞求。当我倒水时，它们就吞咽。昨天，一只蚂蚁在其中一只裂缝里淹死了。感觉就像犯罪.)”以及第五段“But the true harvest came when Julia handed a copy of “Dirt Diaries” to our librarian. She showed him the “Your Turn” section, which read, “Plant a seed (any seed). When it comes up, write what it whispers. Pass this book on.” (但真正的收获是当茱莉亚把一本《泥土日记》交给我们的图书管理员时。她给他看了“轮到你了”这一部分，上面写着：“种下一颗种子（任何种子）。当它发芽时，写下它低语的内容。把这本书传递下去。”)”可知文章讲述了老师改变教学方式后，学生们从最初对作物报告敷衍了事，到后来深入自然进行观察记录，最终将记录内容整理成书，这一过程就像指甲下的泥土孕育出了故事。C项“How dirt Under the Nails Grew Stories (指甲下的泥土如何孕育出故事)”表达的含义符合文章主旨，适合用作本文标题。故选C项。 考点三 考查主旨大意 在记叙文的阅读过程中，要注意把握人物的情感发展过程；事件的发展线索；作者思想感情的变化过程以及时间、空间的变化。阅读时做到不漏细节，把准寓意，方能成功。 在阅读过程中，找出“5Ws 和 1H”；按照线索弄清事情的来龙去脉，理解了文章的脉络，理解整个故事。记叙文需要事件的发展过程作支撑，一半以上的题目都会用来检测考生对故事的了解，因此，我们必须弄明白整件事情的发展脉络。而其余像主旨大意、作者意图之类的题目，集中考查对作者所发的感触的理解。 依附原文，切忌主观臆断 答题时把握文章的线索，结合文章的主旨大意，切勿主观臆断； 主旨大意题 1. 避免主观臆断：在阅读原文基础上，仔细甄别选项是否与文章主题有密切联系； 2. 涵盖性强：看选项对文章的概括性或覆盖面如何。避免以偏概全，范围过大或过小。 解题步骤 1.通览全局 2.关注首尾段落：70%的记叙文在开头点题，结尾升华 3.勾画重复出现的关键词（人物行为/情感变化/象征物） 4.分析结构 情节发展： 开端 → 发展 → 高潮 → 结局 → 感悟 5.情感曲线： 通过形容词/副词捕捉情绪变化（如：frustrated → determined → relieved） 6.定位核心要素 ①主人公的关键抉择或顿悟时刻 ②人物关系转折点（如：从冲突到和解） ③象征物的深层含义（如：broken watch象征时间珍贵） ④排除干扰项 错误选项特征： □ 仅概括某个细节（出现具体人名/数字） □ 包含未提及的推论（出现must/only等绝对词） □ 与作者情感基调相悖（如文章悲伤却选乐观选项） 实战技巧 1.标题关联法：结合文章标题理解主旨（如标题"The Gift"多指情感馈赠而非实物） 2.三问检验法： ①主要人物经历了什么？ ②这个经历带来什么改变？ ③作者想通过这个变化说明什么？ ④高频词统计：快速统计重复3次以上的名词/动词 ⑤视角判断：第一人称故事往往包含个人成长主题 典型错误规避 1.混淆客观事实与主观意图：避免把故事内容当主旨 2.过度解读：不添加原文未有元素 1.（2023年新高考全国Ⅱ卷）Turning soil, pulling weeds, and harvesting cabbage sound like tough work for middle and high school kids. And at first it is, says Abby Jaramillo, who with another teacher started Urban Sprouts, a school garden program at four low-income schools. The program aims to help students develop science skills, environmental awareness, and healthy lifestyles. Jaramillo’s students live in neighborhoods where fresh food and green space are not easy to find and fast food restaurants outnumber grocery stores. “The kids literally come to school with bags of snacks and large bottles of soft drinks,” she says. “They come to us thinking vegetables are awful, dirt is awful, insects are awful.” Though some are initially scared of the insects and turned off by the dirt, most are eager to try something new. Urban Sprouts’ classes, at two middle schools and two high schools, include hands-on experiments such as soil testing, flower-and-seed dissection, tastings of fresh or dried produce, and work in the garden. Several times a year, students cook the vegetables they grow, and they occasionally make salads for their entire schools. Program evaluations show that kids eat more vegetables as a result of the classes. “We have students who say they went home and talked to their parents and now they’re eating differently,” Jaramillo says. She adds that the program’s benefits go beyond nutrition. Some students get so interested in gardening that they bring home seeds to start their own vegetable gardens. Besides, working in the garden seems to have a calming effect on Jaramillo’s special education students, many of whom have emotional control issues. “They get outside,” she says, “and they feel successful.” 7.

Andria Zafirakou,a north London secondary school teacher, said she wanted to bring about a classroom revolution (变革). “We are going to make a change, ”she said.“I’ve started a project to promote the teaching of the arts in our schools.” The project results from the difficulties many schools have in getting artists of any sort - whether an up-and-coming local musician or a major movie star - into schools to work with and inspire children. Zafirakou began the project at Alperton Community School, her place of work for the past twelve years. “I've seen those magic moments when children are talking to someone they are inspired by - their eyes are shining and their faces light up,” she said. “We need artists . more than ever in our schools." Artist Michael Craig-Martin said: “Andria's brilliant project to bring artists from all fields into direct contact with children is particularly welcome at a time when the arts are being downgraded in schools." It was a mistake to see the arts as unnecessary, he added. Historian Sir Simon Schama is also a supporter of the project. He said that arts education in schools was not just an add-on. “It is absolutely necessary. The future depends on creativity and creativity depends on the young. What will remain of us when artificial intelligence takes over will be our creativity, and it is our creative spirit, our visionary sense of freshness,that has been our strength for centuries." 11.

It was the adventures of three travellers. Readers found themselves puzzled by this book. Was it fact or fiction? It read like a real travel diary, including detailed descriptions of natural phenomena that were seen and notes taken on the spot as the travellers moved, but the adventures seemed fantastic! The title of this amazing work was Five Weeks in a Balloon and its first-time author was a man named Jules Verne. Jules Verne was born on February 8th, 1828, in the city of Nantes, France. From the family’s summer house just outside the city, young Jules could see the great docks and shipbuilding facilities of the region. And he often used his imagination to climb the great ships and go to foreign ports. Verne’s father sent him to Paris to study law. But there he found himself attracted to the theatre. Verne tried his hand at writing plays and the first one was produced in 1850. In order to support himself, Verne became a stockbroker (股票经纪人), a career that he did not like, but gave him enough financial support to write. There is a legend that in 1862 he stood on the steps of the Paris Stock Exchange and announced there, “My boys, I believe that I’m about to leave you. I’ve just written a new kind of novel, and if it succeeds it will be an unexplored gold mine.” It is hard to say if the above story is true. However, Verne certainly did invent a kind of novel, and it did bring him fortune and fame. Through Five Weeks in a Balloon and other books like Journey to the Center of the Earth, the 19th-century author’s novel predicted submarines (潜艇), flying machines, skyscrapers and even the moon landing while at the same time inspiring some of the world’s most important scientists. 1．Why were readers confused about the small book in 1863? A．Its author was unknown to them. B．The adventures described in it looked real. C．Its content was beyond their understanding. D．They couldn’t figure out its type of writing. 2．What can we learn about Jules Verne from paragraphs 2 and 3? A．Going to Paris was a turning point in his life. B．His first play was about a balloon adventure. C．Young Verne often took a trip to foreign ports. D．His career as a lawyer ensured his financial security. 3．Which word can describe Jules Verne’s attitude to his new novel from the legend? A．Doubtful. B．Positive. C．Worried. D．Unclear. 4．What is the best title for the text? A．Inspiration from the Past B．An Unexpected Adventure C．A Writer Ahead of His Time D．Some Works from the Future 【答案】1．D 2．A 3．B 4．C 【解析】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了传奇作品《气球上的五星期》的作者儒勒·凡尔纳的一些事迹。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段中“Readers found themselves puzzled by this book. Was it fact or fiction? It read like a real travel diary, including detailed descriptions of natural phenomena that were seen and notes taken on the spot as the travellers moved, but the adventures seemed fantastic!(读者们对这本书感到困惑不已。它是真实的事件还是虚构的故事？它读起来就像一本真实的旅行日记，其中包含了旅行者所目睹的自然现象的详细描述以及沿途所做笔记的记录，但这些冒险经历却显得如此不可思议！)”可知，当时的读者对于这种新型小说属于哪种写作类型感到迷惑。故选D。 2．推理判断题。根据第三段“Verne’s father sent him to Paris to study law. But there he found himself attracted to the theatre. Verne tried his hand at writing plays and the first one was produced in 1850.(凡尔纳的父亲让他去巴黎学习法律。但在那里，他却发现自己对戏剧产生了浓厚的兴趣。凡尔纳尝试着手创作剧本，他的第一部作品于1850年上演)”可知，去巴黎让儒勒·凡尔纳对戏剧产生了兴趣，从而转向写作，这对于他的人生来说是一个转折点。故选A。 3．推理判断题。根据第四段中“I’ve just written a new kind of novel, and if it succeeds it will be an unexplored gold mine.(我刚刚创作了一部全新的小说，如果这部作品获得成功，那它将会成为一处尚未被开发的宝藏之地)”可知，儒勒·凡尔纳对自己的新型小说非常有信心，持积极态度。故选B。 4．主旨大意题。根据全文尤其是第二、第三、第四段内容和末段中“Through Five Weeks in a Balloon and other books like Journey to the Center of the Earth, the 19th-century author’s novel predicted submarines (潜艇), flying machines, skyscrapers and even the moon landing while at the same time inspiring some of the world’s most important scientists.(通过《气球上的五星期》以及诸如《地心之旅》等其他著作，这位19世纪的作家在其小说中预言了潜艇、飞行器、摩天大楼甚至登月等事物，同时他也激励了一些世界上最杰出的科学家)”可知，本文主要就儒勒·凡尔纳这个作家进行了介绍，他创作的科幻小说内容超越了他的时代。C选项“一位超越时代的作家”最符合文章标题。故选C。 2.（2026·河南省青桐鸣联考高三上学期9月月考） While most children struggle to form full sentences until they’re three or four, three-year-old Master Caleb Stewart was delivering speeches with more enthusiasm than a TED Talk. Now eleven years old, Caleb became the youngest motivational speaker (male) at the age of three, when he gave his first speech on the importance of self-belief. It was at the ALARM International Church in Tallahassee, and the young Master of Reading remembers his first speech fondly: “Everyone stood up for me and I felt proud of myself. It felt really good to see how I made an impact and inspired everyone.” Ever since that first experience, Caleb has continued to speak to schools, churches, and community leaders about topics ranging from dreaming big and believing in yourself to the importance of literacy and reading fluency. He made his second speech at Raa Middle School where, as a keynote speaker at a teacher training event, he stood on a table and spoke to the staff about the benefits of reading and having big dreams. A video of this speech became popular. Caleb writes his own speeches by picking a topic, breaking his thoughts into sections, and then putting them together to study. His key recommendations for a great speech are: “Be confident, be calm, and if you mess up, keep going. Speak loud and clear.” He is a passionate reader who, in his own words, “reads at every opportunity he gets”. When he was seven years old, after reading an article highlighting the lack of reading proficiency (能力) among today’s children, he decided that he wanted to help them improve their skills. So, he set up the Master Caleb’s Discovery Library—a non-profit library through which he donates books from his personal collection, along with other learning materials, to kids in his community. For Caleb, it’s always been a family affair—his passion for motivational speaking is not only supported but also greatly inspired by those closest to him. His favorite speaker to listen to is his uncle, while his grandmother inspires him the most and assists with his motivational speaking and academic growth. 1．What was the topic of Caleb’s first speech? A．The benefits of reading books. B．The tips on writing a good speech. C．The necessity of dreaming big. D．The significance of believing in oneself. 2．What can be inferred about Caleb’s second speech at Raa Middle School? A．It was delivered in an informal manner. B．It was poorly received by the audience. C．It was recorded and gained wide attention. D．It focused mainly on academic performance. 3．Why did Caleb set up the Master Caleb’s Discovery Library? A．To enhance kids’ reading skills. B．To compete with other libraries. C．To earn money by selling books. D．To follow his uncle’s career path. 4．What is the text mainly about? A．The influence of family on a child’s growth. B．The challenges of early childhood education. C．The journey of a young motivational speaker. D．The importance of speaking skills in society. 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．A 4．C 【解析】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲的是年轻励志演讲者Caleb Stewart的成长历程与积极贡献。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段“Now eleven years old, Caleb became the youngest motivational speaker (male) at the age of three, when he gave his first speech on the importance of self-belief.(如今11岁的卡莱布在3岁时就成为全球最年轻的男性励志演说家，当时他的首场演讲主题正是“相信自己的力量”。)”可知，Caleb三岁时进行了第一次演讲，主题是自我信念的重要性，也就是相信自己的重要性。故选D。 2．推理判断题。根据第三段“He made his second speech at Raa Middle School where, as a keynote speaker at a teacher training event, he stood on a table and spoke to the staff about the benefits of reading and having big dreams. A video of this speech became popular.(他的第二次演讲是在拉阿中学，身为教师培训活动的主讲嘉宾，他站在一张桌子上对全体教职工畅谈阅读的好处与远大梦想，相关视频随后走红网络。)”可知，这次演讲被录制下来并受到了广泛关注。故选C。 3．细节理解题。根据第五段“When he was seven years old, after reading an article highlighting the lack of reading proficiency (能力) among today’s children, he decided that he wanted to help them improve their skills. So, he set up the Master Caleb’s Discovery Library—a non-profit library through which he donates books from his personal collection, along with other learning materials, to kids in his community.(7岁那年，他读到一篇报道，得知当今儿童阅读能力不足，于是决定出手相助，创立了“Master Caleb’s Discovery Library”——一个非营利图书项目，把自己收藏的书籍和其他学习材料捐赠给社区里的孩子。)”可知，设立这个非营利图书馆的目的是提高孩子们的阅读技能。故选A。 4．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“While most children struggle to form full sentences until they’re three or four, three-year-old Master Caleb Stewart was delivering speeches with more enthusiasm than a TED Talk. Now eleven years old, Caleb became the youngest motivational speaker (male) at the age of three, when he gave his first speech on the importance of self-belief.(大多数孩子要到三四岁才能说出完整句子，而三岁的Master Caleb Stewart却已经带着比TED演讲还高涨的热情发表演说。如今11岁的Caleb在3岁时就成为全球最年轻的男性励志演说家，当时他的首场演讲主题正是“相信自己的力量”。)”可知，本文主要讲的是年轻励志演讲者Caleb Stewart的成长历程与积极贡献，因此本文的主旨是C选项“The journey of a young motivational speaker.(一位年轻励志演讲者的成长之路。)”。故选C。 3.（2026·海南省文昌中学高三上学期第一次月考）Last September, I visited a protected wetland near my home. Though I’d used binoculars (望远镜), field guides and song identification apps all summer while hiking, this was the first time I only watched birds. I’ve always cared about birds and have written about them as a science writer, but the moment I decided with purpose to devote time and energy to bird-watching marked my transformation into a birder. Seven months later, I’ve seen 452 species, learned dozens of calls, tracked rare birds, and even went looking for owls at night. I didn’t start from zero. My career spent writing about nature taught me about the habitats; journalism allowed me to quickly familiarize myself with new topics and new people. I crowdsourced tips on social media platforms and went out with experienced birders. I used tools available to beginners. Many regard birding as just turning lives into checklist numbers, but even that is harder without knowledge. To find the birds, you have to know them. And in doing that, much else falls into space. Birding has boosted my time outdoors, pushing me to explore my neighborhood in ways I never would have: amazing hot spots in industrial areas, wastewater treatment plants, and random parks. I seem imperious to heat, cold, hunger, and thirst. My mind quiets, focusing only on the present. I also feel a much deeper connection to nature, which I’ve long written about but always remained slightly distant from. Every bird I meet gives color and sound to the facts I once knew only from books. Birds I assumed lived far away — golden eagles, cranes — have all appeared within an hour of my house. People call birding an escape from reality. I reject that. Instead, I see it as involvement with the true reality. I don’t need to know social media drama when I can spend an hour hunting for a rare bird. The choice is obvious. Spring is coming. New birds will soon flood the Bay Area. I can’t wait. 1．What is paragraph 1 mainly about? A．When the author became a birder. B．The author’s early interest in birding. C．An ideal destination for new birders. D．A memorable birding trip without tools. 2．What does the author emphasize in paragraph 3? A．Why new birders can never start from zero. B．How prior skills have aided his/ her birding. C．The difficulties of birding without guidance. D．The use of effective bird identification tools. 3．What does the underlined phrase “imperious to” mean in paragraph 5? A．extremely afraid of. B．Strongly opposed to. C．easily contented with. D．completely unaffected by. 4．What is the author’s main message? A．Birding is an escape from reality. B．Technology kills real experience. C．Simple joys like birding enrich life. D．Hobbies require a lot of knowledge. 【答案】1．A 2．B 3．D 4．C 【解析】本文是一篇记叙文。作者讲述了自己从一名科学写作者转变为真正的观鸟爱好者的经历，强调了观鸟带来的乐趣、知识积累和对自然更深层次的连接，表达了作者对自然生活的热爱和对“真实现实”的追求。 1．主旨大意题。根据第一段“This was the first time I only watched birds.(这是我第一次只是单纯地观察鸟类)”以及第二段“I’ve always cared about birds and have written about them as a science writer, but the moment I decided with purpose to devote time and energy to bird- watching marked my transformation into a birder.(我一直对鸟类很感兴趣，并且作为一名科学作家也写过相关文章，但当我下定决心专门投入时间和精力去观察鸟类的时候，这标志着我正式成为了鸟类爱好者)”可知，整段的重点在于作者成为一名观鸟者的时间和契机。故选A。 2．细节理解题。根据第三段“I didn’t start from zero. My career spent writing about nature taught me about the habitats; journalism allowed me to quickly familiarize myself with new topics and new people. I crowdsourced tips on social media plat forms and went out with experienced birders.(我并非从零开始。我的职业生涯一直致力于关于自然的报道工作，这让我对各种栖息地有了深入的了解；而新闻工作则让我能够迅速熟悉新的主题和新的人物。我通过社交媒体平台收集相关建议，并与有经验的观鸟者一同外出观察)”可知，这些已有的技能如何支持了他的观鸟活动。故选B。 3．词句猜测题。根据第五段“My mind quiets, focusing only on the present.(我的思绪平静下来，只专注于当下)”可推知，作者在观鸟时完全沉浸在当下，不受天气、饥渴等影响，由此可判断“impervious to”意为“完全不受……影响的”。故选D。 4．主旨大意题。根据倒数第二段“People call birding an escape from reality. I reject that. Instead, I see it as engagement with the true reality.(人们把观鸟称作是对现实世界的逃离。但我却不这么认为。在我看来，观鸟其实是一种与真实世界紧密相连的体验)”和最后一段“Spring is coming. New birds will soon flood the Bay Area. I can’t wait.(春天就要来了。新的鸟类很快就会涌入旧金山湾区。我迫不及待地想要见到它们了)”可知，作者认为观鸟不是逃避现实，而是一种接触真实生活的方式，同时也表达了对自然的热爱和期待。因此，文章的主旨是强调像观鸟这样简单的爱好可以丰富我们的生活。故选C。 考点四 考查推理判断之人生感悟 1.命题形式 人生感悟是记叙文的独特的命题形式，它是从故事中人物的思想变化，经过一系列事物的发展，最终到达一个成熟的人生，从而感悟真谛，产生联想。人生感悟属于主旨概括题，类似于中心大意题。一方面，需要考生研读全文把握大意。另一方面需要吃透选项字面意思和言外之意方能把二者有效结合起来做出最佳选择。 27.

However, my students demonstrated something more important to me. When the final bell rang in June, I walked away with a yearbook full of messages about writing’s most powerful significance — the ability to connect people, to put us in another’s skin, to teach us what it means to be human. 27. What does the author’s experience show? A. Teaching is learning. B. Still waters run deep. C. Knowledge is power. D. Practice makes perfect. 【答案】A 【解析】第一步：阅读题干，找出关键词the author’s experience show。 第二步：根据题干关键词定位到最后一段“I walked into class believing that writing is important as a means of communication. However, my students demonstrated something more important to me. When the final bell rang in June, I walked away with a yearbook full of messages about writing’s most powerful significance — the ability to connect people, to put us in another’s skin, to teach us what it means to be human. (我走进教室时坚信写作作为一种交流方式至关重要。然而，学生们向我展示了更为重要的东西。当六月的下课铃响起时，我带着一本满是留言的年鉴离开——这些留言诉说着写作最强大的意义：它能连接人与人，让我们换位思考，教会我们身为人类的真谛)”结合全文内容可知，文章通过作者的教学经历，说明她在教导学生的同时，自己也领悟到写作的真正意义，这一过程体现了“教学相长”的理念。选项A“Teaching is learning(教学相长)”符合文中描述的作者通过教学获得的新认识。Teaching is learning. 教学相长。Still waters run deep. 静水流深。Knowledge is power. 知识就是力量。Practice makes perfect. 熟能生巧。 第三步：比对选项得出答案A。 2.(2023天津卷B篇) I looked through the window of the charming little violin shop, and my heart began to race. I'd been out to dinner that evening. Since it wasn't dark yet after the meal, I decided to walk home from the restaurant. I had traveled that way before, yet I had never noticed that old little shop. But that night I felt drawn to the violin shop the moment I came across it. I wiped the dirt from the window to get a better look inside. Several violins hung from the dark walls, quietly waiting to be chosen. As my eyes rested on them, I felt as though I were looking through a window into my own past. My childhood was all about the pursuits I had attempted, most of which had been chosen by Mom. She was like, “Join the swim team, Tara. Your sister is a good swimmer;surely you will be, too. ”What she refused to acknowledge, however, was that I was visibly afraid of water. Every Saturday I begged Mom not to make me go to the swim meet, but had little chance of success. That said, with a bang of the starting gun, I would dive into the cold water with all my strength and swim to the other side of the pool as fast as I could, only to find that the other swimmers slid past me. I would have given it up if I had not heard my father's encouraging shouts to cheer me on. When at last my hand would grab the edge of the pool, he would always be there with a warm, dry towel, telling me how proud he was of my desperate efforts. Then came a turning point in my life the day our school orchestra( 管弦乐队)visited my class, and gave a demonstration. The drums annoyed me. The flutes(笛子)bored me. But the violin…ah, the violin. It made the sweetest sound I'd ever heard!My heart was dancing along with its flowing tune. For the first time in my life, I went so wild with joy. Tightly holding the permission slip from the orchestra director, I ran all the way home after school, and shakily handed it to my parents with a fear that they might dismiss my desire. They didn't. Mom was thrilled to see me finally excited about something, and Dad winked(眨眼示意)at me while eagerly signing the slip. I began practicing the violin with great passion, and rose quickly in ability. Before long I had won the first seat in the community orchestra … 45. What message does Tara's story convey? A. It's never too young to learn. B. A passionate interest works wonders. C. Hard work will pay off in the long run. D.

Before long I had won the first seat in the community orchestra … (我开始满怀热情地练习小提琴，技艺提升很快。不久之后，我就赢得了社区管弦乐队的首席席位……)”结合全文内容可知，作者非常拼命地游泳但是依然落后于其他人。他非常热爱小提琴，进步飞速，很快成为了管弦乐团的首席，可知兴趣爱好是最好的老师，能创造奇迹。It's never too young to learn. 活到老，学到老。Hard work will pay off in the long run. 长期来看，努力总会有回报。Like mother, like daughter. 有其母必有其女。 第三步：比对选项得出答案B。 1.（2026·湖北省湖北省部分市州高三上学期9月调研一模） When Appa passed away peacefully one morning, part of my priceless inheritance (遗产) from him is a box of yellow pencils. Some barely used, some worn-down, but each unfailingly functional, they remind me of his love of solving crossword puzzles. In his 80s, Appa would read the day’s newspaper, cover to cover. A few minutes of reading with the sun streaming in through the bay windows. A spark in his mind, and bingo! He’d get that puzzling word to complete the puzzle. While my father used words for love, I did the same for a living. In my own mind, it did not matter how much I got paid for writing. I wrote because I loved it, often for or about non-profits — that is until recently. “You were paid peanuts!” said some of my younger, more worldly-wise friends. Unlike me, they found the best places to publish their work and the best editors to work with. But their words didn’t affect me. However, when an editor surprised me with a lower rate of pay for a piece they chose to publish online rather than in print, as was originally proposed, I was shocked... and hurt! But like my father, I saw the bright side — so many people read the piece and loved it, sharing joyful emotions and praise on social media. It did wonders for my confidence. Today, when doubts cloud my mind, I think of Appa’s sharpened pencil. Its purpose may have been to solve a crossword. A crossword is complete — and gives one joy — with only so many words, and only when each word rests on elements from the others. Couldn’t my words hold a duality (双重性) that completes my purpose too? And so, now I take up assignments, some that pay well, some that don’t, but together, and most importantly, they fill me with joy. After all, it is only our heartfelt passion that matters. 1．Why did the author mention his father in the article? A．To express the author’s love for his father. B．To emphasize his father’s influence on him. C．To introduce his father’s passion for the puzzles. D．To indicate his father’s supporting his career as a writer. 2．What does the underlined sentence “You were paid peanuts” mean in paragraph 4? A．You were paid in cash. B．You were paid lots of money. C．You were paid very little money. D．You were paid with valuable items. 3．What made the author feel hurt? A．The editor refused to publish his article. B．His article was published in print as proposed. C．His article was published online with a lower pay. D．The editor reduced the payment due to budget cuts. 4．What can we learn from this passage? A．Like father, like son. B．Follow your own path, and let others talk. C．What is done with passion is done well. D．Love what you do and do what you love. 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．C 4．D 【解析】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者受父亲影响，坚持写作，不因报酬多少而改变对写作的热爱，追寻内心激情。 1．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“But like my father, I saw the bright side — so many people read the piece and loved it, sharing joyful emotions and praise on social media. It did wonders for my confidence.(不过，和父亲一样，我也看到了积极的一面——很多人读了这篇文章，并且很喜欢，他们在社交媒体上分享着喜悦和赞美。这极大地增强了我的信心)”和最后一段中“Today, when doubts cloud my mind, I think of Appa’s sharpened pencil. Its purpose may have been to solve a crossword. A crossword is complete — and gives one joy — with only so many words, and only when each word rests on elements from the others. Couldn’t my words hold a duality (双重性) that completes my purpose too? And so, now I take up assignments, some that pay well, some that don’t, but together, and most importantly, they fill me with joy.(如今，每当我心生疑虑时，我就会想起Appa削尖的铅笔。它的用途或许是解填字游戏。一份填字游戏，只有用上一定数量的单词，而且每个单词都要与其他单词相互关联，才能完成，才会给人带来乐趣。难道我的文字就不能也具有这种双重性，从而实现我的写作目的吗？于是，现在我开始接受各种写作任务，有些报酬丰厚，有些则不然，但最重要的是，它们都让我感到快乐)”可知，父亲的行为影响了作者对写作的态度，作者提及父亲是为了强调父亲对自己的影响。故选B。 2．词句猜测题。根据第四段中““You were paid peanuts!” said some of my younger, more worldly-wise friends. Unlike me, they found the best places to publish their work and the best editors to work with.(“You were paid peanuts!”一些比我年轻、更通晓世事的朋友这样说道。与我不一样，他们能找到发表作品的好地方，也能和优秀的编辑合作)”可知，朋友们认为作者报酬低，“You were paid peanuts!”意思是“你得到的报酬很少”。故选C。 3．细节理解题。根据第五段中“However, when an editor surprised me with a lower rate of pay for a piece they chose to publish online rather than in print, as was originally proposed, I was shocked... and hurt!(然而，当一位编辑出人意料地告诉我，他们选择在网上而不是按最初提议的那样在印刷版上发表我的一篇文章，而且报酬更低时，我震惊了……也很受伤！)”可知，让作者感到受伤的是他的文章在网上发表，但报酬却降低了。故选C。 4．推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是根据最后一段“Today, when doubts cloud my mind, I think of Appa’s sharpened pencil. Its purpose may have been to solve a crossword. A crossword is complete — and gives one joy — with only so many words, and only when each word rests on elements from the others. Couldn’t my words hold a duality (双重性) that completes my purpose too? And so, now I take up assignments, some that pay well, some that don’t, but together, and most importantly, they fill me with joy. After all, it is only our heartfelt passion that matters.(如今，每当我心生疑虑时，我就会想起Appa削尖的铅笔。它的用途或许是解填字游戏。一份填字游戏，只有用上一定数量的单词，而且每个单词都要与其他单词相互关联，才能完成，才会给人带来乐趣。难道我的文字就不能也具有这种双重性，从而实现我的写作目的吗？于是，现在我开始接受各种写作任务，有些报酬丰厚，有些则不然，但最重要的是，它们都让我感到快乐。毕竟，只有我们发自内心的热爱才是最重要的。)”以及全文作者受父亲影响，坚持写作，不因报酬多少而改变对写作的热爱可知，我们能从这篇文章中学到“热爱你所做的，做你所爱的”。故选D。 2.（2026·江苏省南京市临江高级中学高三一模） Victor Su never imagined that a life-altering health challenge would bring him back to Northwestern University. After earning degrees in chemical and industrial engineering at Northwestern University, he spent twenty years in consulting and finance, ultimately working around the world — from America to Japan to the United Kingdom. However, because of putting in long hours at his job in London, Su suffered from a severe disease. His doctors didn’t expect him to survive. But after returning to New York City, via an air ambulance, Su overcame numerous difficulties. He gradually pulled himself out of a tough situation. He underwent five months of treatment and learned to walk again. He also struggled with right-side paralysis (瘫痪), memory loss, and a communication disorder that could affect his ability to talk, read, write, and understand spoken language. After Su was discharged from the hospital, his wife, Patricia Kou, knew he would need more treatment to keep improving. Searching online, she found a one-month intensive program at the Northwestern University Center for Audiology, Speech, Language, and Learning. In 2017, Kou accompanied Su to Northwestern University, where he worked five to six hours a day with speech and language clinicians. “It was a lifesaver for Su,” Kou says. “He regained his ability to communicate at the center and continued to progress at home through online sessions with the medical team.” “The treatment I received at Northwestern University made a huge difference in my recovery,” Su says. “I am forever grateful.” In gratitude for the treatment Su received, the family made a generous gift to establish the Su Family Community Impact Fund, which would help the university expand diagnostic and treatment services to underserved children and adults throughout the Chicago area. “One of our top priorities is to provide high-quality clinical services, not just to those who come to our clinic but to everybody in the community who may have trouble accessing them,” says a professor. The gift from the Su family will also support innovative and interdisciplinary research partnerships within the university. 1．What can we learn about Su from the first two paragraphs?

A ditry stream, for example, often became clear after flowing through plants and along rocks where tiny creatures lived. When he got older, John started to wonder if this process could be used to clean up the messes people were making. After studying agriculture, medicine, and fisheries in college, John went back to observing nature and asking questions. Why can certain plants trap harmful bacteria (细菌)? Which kinds of fish can eat cancer-causing chemicals? With the right combination of animals and plants, he figured, maybe he could clean up waste the way nature did. He decided to build what he would later call an eco-machine. The task John set for himself was to remove harmful substances from some sludge (污泥). First, he constructed a series of clear fiberglass tanks connected to each other. Then he went around to local ponds and streams and brought back some plants and animals. He placed them in the tanks and waited. Little by little, these different kinds of life got used to one another and formed their own ecosystem. After a few weeks, John added the sludge. He was amazed at the results. The plants and animals in the eco-machine took the sludge as food and began to eat it! Within weeks, it had all been digested, and all that was left was pure water. Over the years, John has taken on many big jobs. He developed a greenhouse-like facility that treated sewage (污水) from 1,600 homes in South Burlington. He also designed an eco-machine to clean canal water in Fuzhou, a city in southeast China. “Ecological design” is the name John gives to what he does. “Life on Earth is kind of a box of spare parts for the inventor,” he says. “You put organisms in new relationships and observe what’s happening. Then you let these new systems develop their own ways to self-repair.” 4. What can we learn about John from the first two paragraphs? A. He was fond of traveling. B. He enjoyed being alone. C. He had an inquiring mind. D. He longed to be a doctor. 5. Why did John put the sludge into the tanks? A. To feed the animals. B. To build an ecosystem. C. To protect the plants. D. To test the eco-machine. 6. What is the author’s purpose in mentioning Fuzhou? A. To review John’s research plans. B. To show an application of John’s idea. C. To compare John’s different jobs. D. To erase doubts about John’s invention. 7. What is the basis for John’s work? A. Nature can repair itself. B. Organisms need water to survive. C. Life on Earth is diverse. D. Most tiny creatures live in groups. 【答案】4. C 5. D 6. B 7. A 【解析】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了John Todd从小就很爱思考且好学，他建造了一个生态机器，利用自然可以自我修复的原理来净化污水。 4.细节理解题。根据第一段“When John Todd was a child, he loved to explore the woods around his house, observing how nature solved problems. A ditry stream, for example, often became clear after flowing through plants and along rocks where tiny creatures lived. When he got older, John started to wonder if this process could be used to clean up the messes people were making.(当约翰·托德还是个孩子的时候，他喜欢探索房子周围的树林，观察大自然是如何解决问题的。例如，一条肮脏的小溪流经植物和微小生物居住的岩石后，往往变得清澈。长大后，约翰开始思考这个过程是否可以用来清理人们制造的混乱)”以及第二段“After studying agriculture, medicine, and fisheries in college, John went back to observing nature and asking questions. Why can certain plants trap harmful bacteria (细菌)? Which kinds of fish can eat cancer-causing chemicals?(在大学学习了农业、医学和渔业之后，约翰又回到了观察自然和提出问题的生活中。为什么某些植物能捕获有害细菌？哪些鱼类会食用致癌化学物质？)”可知，约翰聪颖好学、好奇心很强。故选C。 5.细节理解题。根据第三段“After a few weeks, John added the sludge.(几个星期后，约翰把污泥加了进去)”以及倒数第三段“He was amazed at the results. The plants and animals in the eco-machine took the sludge as food and began to eat it! Within weeks, it had all been digested, and all that was left was pure water.(他对结果感到惊讶。生态机器里的动植物把污泥当成了食物，开始吃起来！几周之内，它就被消化了，只剩下纯净水)”可知，约翰把污泥放进罐子里为了测试生态机器。故选D。 6.推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Over the years, John has taken on many big jobs. He developed a greenhouse-like facility that treated sewage (污水) from 1,600 homes in South Burlington. He also designed an eco-machine to clean canal water in Fuzhou, a city in southeast China.(这些年来，约翰承担了许多重大工作。他开发了一个类似温室的设施，可以处理来自南伯灵顿1600户家庭的污水。他还设计了一种生态机器来清洁中国东南部城市福州的运河水)”可推知，作者提到福州的目的是展示约翰想法的应用。故选B。 7.推理判断题。根据最后一段“You put organisms in new relationships and observe what’s happening. Then you let these new systems develop their own ways to self-repair.(你把生物体放在新的关系中，观察会发生什么。然后让这些新系统自行发展自我修复的方式)”可知，约翰工作的基础是自然可以自我修复。故选A。 1.（2026·四川省成都市第七中学高三上学期8月入学）Living a zero-waste lifestyle might seem like a daunting challenge to many, but for Robin Greenfield, an environmental activist, it’s a joyful mission to inspire change. To promote awareness of waste issues, he created the outstanding “Trash Walk”. Last year, he undertook another walk in Los Angeles. For a month, he lived like an average city resident — eating, shopping, and consuming — while attaching every piece of trash he produced to his body. By the end of the month, he wore a massive “trash suit” made of bottles, plastic, paper, and cans as he wandered through the streets of LA． And Robin Greenfield is not doing art for art’s sake. He has many useful recommendations on how to avoid trash, how to live sustainably and how to find out what is really important in life. He draws attention to works like The Story of stuff, which explores the interconnections of 21st-century capitalism. His book Food Freedom tackles one big problem of consumerist society: the broken system and terrible mechanisms of industrial agriculture. As always, he’s donating the profits and most of his earnings to important causes — this time to Indigenous and Black-led food sovereignty projects, many of which are run by women. He relies on exchanging knowledge and skills to live with minimal financial resources. Robin Greenfield enhances his authenticity by living his values. He’s working with others to build food systems that are regenerative, fair, and just. He demonstrates contentment through minimal material needs and inspirational actions, such as building sustainable tiny houses from recycled materials — projects he has repeated multiple times. His point was crystal clear — we don’t usually see the impact of all the waste we produce. But waste doesn’t just disappear. As a walking “trash man”, he invites everyone to imagine — and practically build — a world where protecting the planet becomes second nature. 1．What did Robin Greenfield do during his walk last year? A．He collected trash from the streets. B．He wore all the trash he generated. C．He resided in the streets of LA． D．He sold many artworks of trash. 2．Why is his book mentioned in paragraph 3? A．To emphasize his popularity as an author. B．To prove the benefits of living sustainably. C．To show his practical efforts for the environment. D．To criticize modern capitalism and consumerism. 3．What does Robin Greenfield suggest people do? A．Reuse and recycle waste materials. B．Lead an eco-friendly life instinctively. C．Maximize their material needs. D．Engage in industrial agriculture. 4．Which of the following best describes Robin Greenfield? A．Inspiring and caring. B．Innovative and serious.

(在一个月的时间里，他像普通城市居民一样生活——吃饭、购物、消费，同时把自己产生的每一片垃圾都绑在身上。到月底时，他穿着一件由瓶子、塑料、纸张和易拉罐制成的巨大“垃圾服”在洛杉矶街头漫步。)”可知，罗宾·格林菲尔德在洛杉矶进行“Trash Walk”活动期间，把自己产生的每一片垃圾都绑在身上，到月底时穿着一件由垃圾制成的“垃圾服”在街头漫步。由此可知，他去年在行走期间穿着自己产生的所有垃圾。故选B。 2．推理判断题。根据第三段中“He has many useful recommendations on how to avoid trash, how to live sustainably and how to find out what is really important in life. He draws attention to works like The Story of stuff, which explores the interconnections of 21st-century capitalism. His book Food Freedom tackles one big problem of consumerist society: the broken system and terrible mechanisms of industrial agriculture. As always, he’s donating the profits and most of his earnings to important causes — this time to Indigenous and Black-led food sovereignty projects, many of which are run by women. (关于如何避免制造垃圾、如何可持续地生活以及如何弄清楚生活中真正重要的东西，他有许多实用的建议。他让人们关注像《物品的故事》这样的作品，该作品探究了21世纪资本主义的内在联系。他的著作《食物自由》探讨了消费主义社会的一个重大问题：支离破碎的体系以及工业化农业糟糕的运行机制。一如既往，他将利润以及大部分收入捐赠给重要的事业——这次是捐给由原住民和黑人主导的粮食主权项目，其中许多项目是由女性运营的。)”可知，罗宾·格林菲尔德的这两本书都围绕环保和可持续生活展开，为人们提供了切实可行的建议，如避免垃圾、可持续生活等，旨在通过书中的内容引导人们关注环境问题并采取行动，展现了他为环保所做的实际努力。由此可知，第三段提到他的两本书是为了展示他为环境所做的实际努力。故选C。 3．细节理解题。根据第四段中“Robin Greenfield enhances his authenticity by living his values.

(对许多人来说，过零废弃的生活方式可能看似是一项艰巨的挑战，但对环保活动家罗宾·格林菲尔德来说，这是一项激发变革的快乐使命。)”可知，罗宾·格林菲尔德将过零废弃生活视为一项快乐使命，充满激情地致力于环保事业；根据第三段中“As always, he’s donating the profits and most of his earnings to important causes — this time to Indigenous and Black-led food sovereignty projects, many of which are run by women.  (和往常一样，他将利润和大部分收入捐赠给重要事业——这次是土著和黑人领导的食物主权项目，其中许多由女性经营。)”可知，他将自己的利润和大部分收入捐赠给重要事业，特别是支持由土著和黑人领导的食物主权项目，其中许多由女性经营，体现出他对他人的关怀。由此可知，罗宾·格林菲尔德是富有激励性和关怀精神的。故选A。 考点六 考查推理判断之人物感受 记叙文以人物故事发展为主线，涉及人物的思想、情感的变化都融入到故事中，这样推断人物的情感变化及人物的感受就成为记叙文独特的命题方向。 （2023年北京卷）Sitting in the garden for my friend’s birthday. I felt a buzz (振动) in my pocket. My heart raced when I saw the email sender’s name. The email started off: “Dear Mr Green, thank you for your interest” and “the review process took longer than expected.” It ended with “We are sorry to inform you…”and my vision blurred (模糊). The position—measuring soil quality in the Sahara Desert as part of an undergraduate research programme — had felt like the answer I had spent years looking for. I had put so much time and emotional energy into applying, and I thought the rejection meant the end of the road for my science career. So I was shocked when, not long after the email, Professor Mary Devon, who was running the programme, invited me to observe the work being done in her lab. I jumped at the chance, and a few weeks later I was equally shocked—and overjoyed—when she invited me to talk with her about potential projects I could pursue in her lab. What she proposed didn’t seem as exciting as the original project I had applied to, but I was going to give it my all. I found myself working with a robotics professor on techniques for collecting data from the desert remotely. That project, which I could complete from my sofa instead of in the burning heat of the desert, not only survived the lockdown but worked where traditional methods didn’t. In the end, I had a new scientific interest to pursue. When I applied to graduate school, I found three programmes promising to allow me to follow my desired research direction. And I applied with the same anxious excitement as before. When I was rejected from one that had seemed like a perfect fit, it was undoubtedly difficult. But this time I had the perspective (视角) to keep it from sending me into panic. It helped that in the end I was accepted into one of the other programmes I was also excited about. Rather than setting plans in stone, I’ve learned that sometimes I need to take the opportunities that are offered, even if they don’t sound perfect at the time, and make the most of them. 1. How did the author feel upon seeing the email sender’s name? A. Anxious. B. Angry. C. Surprised. D. Settled. 2. After talking with Professor Devon, the author decided to ________. A. criticise the review process B. stay longer in the Sahara Desert C. apply to the original project again D. put his heart and soul into the lab work 3. According to the author, the project with the robotics professor was ________. A. demanding B. inspiring C. misleading D. amusing 4. What can we learn from this passage? A. An invitation is a reputation. B. An innovation is a resolution. C. A rejection can be a redirection. D. A reflection can be a restriction. 【答案】1. A 2. D 3. B 4. C 【解析】本文是一篇记叙文。文章中作者结合自己被拒绝后得到了更好的职业发展机会，告诉我们最初的拒绝给予了更好的方向。 1.推理判断题。根据第一段“My heart raced when I saw the email sender’s name. The email started off: “Dear Mr Green, thank you for your interest” and “the review process took longer than expected.” It ended with “We are sorry to inform you…”and my vision blurred (模糊). (当我看到邮件发件人的名字时，我的心跳加速了。这封邮件是这样开头的：“亲爱的格林先生，感谢您的关注”，“审核过程比预期的要长。”信的结尾是“我们很抱歉地通知你……”，我的视线模糊了)”可知，收到的是被拒绝的邮件，所以推测作者在看到电子邮件发件人的名字时感到焦虑。故选A。 2.细节理解题。根据第三段“So I was shocked when, not long after the email, Professor Mary Devon, who was running the programme, invited me to observe the work being done in her lab. I jumped at the chance, and a few weeks later I was equally shocked—and overjoyed—when she invited me to talk with her about potential projects I could pursue in her lab. What she proposed didn’t seem as exciting as the original project I had applied to, but I was going to give it my all. (因此，当我收到这封邮件后不久，负责这个项目的玛丽·德文教授邀请我去她的实验室观察正在进行的工作时，我感到非常震惊。我欣然接受了这个机会，几周后，当她邀请我和她谈谈我可以在她的实验室里从事的潜在项目时，我同样感到震惊——同时也是欣喜若狂。她提出的建议似乎没有我最初申请的项目那么令人兴奋，但我打算全力以赴)”可知，与德文教授交谈后，作者决定全心全意地投入实验室工作。故选D。 3.推理判断题。根据第四段“I found myself working with a robotics professor on techniques for collecting data from the desert remotely. That project, which I could complete from my sofa instead of in the burning heat of the desert, not only survived the lockdown but worked where traditional methods didn’t. In the end, I had a new scientific interest to pursue. (我发现自己和一个机器人教授一起研究从沙漠中远程收集数据的技术。我可以在沙发上完成这个项目，而不是在沙漠的酷热中完成，它不仅在封锁期间幸存下来，而且在传统方法不奏效的地方也奏效了。最后，我有了新的科学兴趣去追求)”可推知，机器人学教授的项目很鼓舞人心。故选B。 4.推理判断题。根据最后一段“Rather than setting plans in stone, I’ve learned that sometimes I need to take the opportunities that are offered, even if they don’t sound perfect at the time, and make the most of them. (我明白了有时候我需要抓住提供的机会，即使这些机会在当时听起来并不完美，也要充分利用，而不是一成不变地制定计划)”结合文章中作者结合自己被拒绝后得到了更好的职业发展机会，告诉我们最初的拒绝给予了更好的方向。故C选项“拒绝可以是重定向”最符合文章的主旨。故选C。 1.（2026·湖北省孝感高级中学高三上学期8月测试）Friends Yuri Williams and Rodney Smith Jr. spend the weeks leading up to Christmas crossing the country. They visit kids who are sick or disabled, arriving with plenty of toys. In past years, Williams has dressed as various superheroes, while Smith dresses up as a Christmas fairy. Though Williams has been spreading joy this way for years, the stimulus came from a joyless place. In 2009, he lost his mother to cancer and fell into a five-year depression. But he dug himself out by honoring his mother’s memory through charitable acts, including collecting gifts for children with special needs. Williams launched his nonprofit, A Future SuperHero and Friends, in 2018. His goal is to bring smiles to children with health challenges, including those fighting life-threatening conditions. “He was the first person to put a smile on AJ’s face,” says Katrina Morris about her son, who was diagnosed with cancer at the age of two. “I will never forget that day.” Williams and Smith start their gift-giving journey by driving through the 48 states before flying to Alaska and Hawaii. Along the way, they stock up on toys, funded by donations through the Future SuperHero website. People nominate families for the pair to visit by filling out an online form, explaining why the family deserves a visit. But they often dip into Williams’s own savings as well. Even more important than the gifts they bring, Williams and Smith spend time with the people who need it most — and that’s not just the children. “The parents seem more excited than the kids sometimes,” Williams told KTVQ News after a visit to Billings, Montana, last year. The pair say they want to make sure families facing tough battles never feel alone. It’s what keeps them going, even when they barely get any sleep in the process. “Every day, I get to wake up and do what I love,” Smith says. “I can’t go wrong with that.” “I don’t look to get paid to do this,” Williams adds. “It’s just healing for me for losing my mother, just keeping her name alive by doing this.” 1．What motivated Willams to start his charitable work? A．The need of relieving his depression. B．The wish to inspire others to volunteer. C．The desire for honoring his late mother. D．The hope of gaining support for his nonprofit. 2．What does the underlined word “nominate” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A．Favour. B．Invite. C．Register. D．Recommend. 3．Why do Williams and Smith spend time with families during visits? A．To deliver gifts to children. B．To make the families feel cared for. C．To understand the families’ struggles. D．To raise money for their organization. 4．How does Williams feel about his work? A．It is exhausting and brings him money. B．It is challenging and makes him social. C．It is comforting and gives him purpose. D．It is enjoyable and wins him friendship. 【答案】1．C 2．D 3．B 4．C 【解析】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了威廉姆斯和史密斯通过送礼物和陪伴，为患病儿童及其家庭带去欢乐与支持的故事。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段中“But he dug himself out by honoring his mother’s memory through charitable acts, including collecting gifts for children with special needs. (但他通过慈善行为来纪念母亲，包括为有特殊需要的儿童收集礼物，从而走出了困境)”可知，威廉姆斯开始慈善工作的动机是为了纪念他已故的母亲。故选C。 2．词句猜测题。根据划线词所在句“People nominate families for the pair to visit by filling out an online form, explaining why the family deserves a visit. (人们通过填写在线表格来nominate这对搭档应该拜访的家庭，并解释为什么这个家庭值得拜访)”中的“filling out an online form”推知，人们通过填写在线表格来推荐这对搭档应该拜访的家庭，因此nominate在此处的意思是“推荐”。故选D。 3．细节理解题。根据最后一段中“The pair say they want to make sure families facing tough battles never feel alone. (这对搭档说，他们想确保面临艰难战斗的家庭永远不会感到孤独)”可知，威廉姆斯和史密斯在拜访期间花时间与家庭相处是为了让这些家庭感到被关心，不感到孤独。故选B。 4．推理判断题。根据最后一段中““I don’t look to get paid to do this,” Williams adds. “It’s just healing for me for losing my mother, just keeping her name alive by doing this.” (“我并不指望靠这个赚钱，”威廉姆斯补充道。“这对我来说是一种治愈，因为我失去了母亲，这样做只是为了让她名字永存。”)”可知，威廉姆斯觉得他的工作是安慰性的，给了他目标。故选C。 2.（2026·云南三校高三备考实用性8月联考卷（二））For Cai Guoqiang, every time feels like the first time. His nerves still hurt, his mind still races before he lights the fuse (引线) and the gunpowder explodes. It’s an intensity that hasn’t lessened even after 40 years. That’s how long Cai’s been making art through the use of explosives. “The anxiety is part of my motivation to create artwork,” Cai says. And there’s high demand for Cai’s art, famous worldwide. In China, he led visual and special effects for the 2008 Summer and 2022 Winter Olympics’ ceremonies. He spent eight years in Japan as a young artist and now lives in New York. Each time he lights a match, he briefly returns to his childhood — when he first played with firecrackers innocently. It helped that his hometown, Quanzhou City, was one that was known for its collection of fireworks sellers. But that didn’t mean he immediately grasped their artistic potential. First, he tried firing them headlong into blank canvases, which “wasn’t very successful because the whole canvas would burn completely through,” says Cai. But art was in his DNA．His father was a small-time poet and brush-and-ink calligrapher; and his mother, though not an artist herself, was a temple-going and incense-burning woman whose spiritual beliefs influenced her son. In his youth, Cai says, he was “unconsciously exposed to the ties between fireworks and the fates of humans, from the Chinese practice of setting off firecrackers at a birth, a death and during a wedding.” He felt something in the mix of matter and energy — maybe a comparison between mind and matter, humans and the universe — in the hot center of an explosion. Soon, he found he could take gunpowder out of firecrackers and light it directly on canvas, making mysterious, messy black-and-brown pictures of space, nature and time. The explosive aspect of the gunpowder took on a symbolic meaning for Cai. “As a person, it’s fine to be careful and cautious, but as an artist, you may need to break free and let yourself go a little,” says the artist. 1．What’s Cai’s feeling after having worked as an explosives artist for decades? A．Proud and satisfied. B．Fresh and motivated. C．Anxious and insecure. D．Exhausted and indifferent. 2．What does the underlined word “headlong” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A．Delicately. B．Slowly. C．Carelessly. D．Skilfully. 3．Which of the following factors hasn’t contributed to Cai’s artistic creations? A．The upbringing of his father, who was also an artist. B．The high demand for innovative artists around the world. C．The influence of his temple-going and incense-burning mother. D．The fact that he grew up in a place famous for firecrackers. 4．What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A．People should take their careers seriously. B．There are lots of things worth celebrating in one’s life. C．Our time on earth is limited and we should treasure it. D．Artists should free their mind to have innovation. 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．B 4．D 【解析】本文是一篇记叙文。介绍烟花大王蔡国胜的生平事迹。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段“For Cai Guoqiang, every time feels like the first time. His nerves still hurt, his mind still races before he lights the fuse (引线) and the gunpowder explodes. It’s an intensity that hasn’t lessened even after 40 years. That’s how long Cai’s been making art through the use of explosives. “The anxiety is part of my motivation to create artwork,” Cai says.(对于蔡国强来说，每一次都感觉像是第一次。他的神经仍然紧张，在点燃导火索和火药爆炸之前，他的思绪仍在飞速运转。这种强度即使在40年后也没有减弱。这就是蔡通过爆破手法进行艺术创作的时长。蔡说：“焦虑是我创作艺术品的动力之一。”)”可知，即使从事烟花艺术数十年，蔡国强仍有初次创作般的感受，且焦虑成为创作动力，即他的感受是新鲜且有动力的。故选B项。 2．词义猜测题。根据第三段“First, he tried firing them headlong into blank canvases, which “wasn’t very successful because the whole canvas would burn completely through,” says Cai.(蔡国强说，起初他尝试将火药headlong射向空白画布，但“效果并不好，因为整个画布都会被完全烧穿”。)”可知，因操作导致画布被烧穿，说明该操作是粗糙、不经细致考虑的，所以headlong应意为“草率地、不加小心地”，与Carelessly含义相近。故选C项。 3．细节理解题。A项根据第四段“His father was a small-time poet and brush-and-ink calligrapher(他的父亲是一位不很成功的诗人和水墨书法家)”可知，父亲的教养对其有影响；C项根据第四段“his mother, though not an artist herself, was a temple-going and incense-burning woman whose spiritual beliefs influenced her son(他的母亲虽然不是艺术家，但她是一位去寺庙烧香的妇女，她的精神信仰影响了她的儿子)”可知，母亲的影响有贡献；D项根据第三段“It helped that his hometown, Quanzhou City, was one that was known for its collection of fireworks sellers. (他的家乡泉州市以烟花小贩的聚集而闻名，这对他有所帮助。)”可知，家乡环境有帮助；B项“全球对创新艺术家的高需求”在文中未提及，且文中仅说 “there’s high demand for Cai’s art(蔡国强的艺术作品需求旺盛)”，并非对“创新艺术家”的普遍需求，该因素未对其创作产生影响。故选B项。 4．推理判断题。根据最后一段““As a person, it’s fine to be careful and cautious, but as an artist, you may need to break free and let yourself go a little,” says the artist.(这位艺术家说：“作为一个人，小心和谨慎是可以的，但作为一名艺术家，你可能需要挣脱束缚，让自己稍微放松。”)”可知，蔡国强认为艺术家需挣脱束缚，即应解放思想以实现创新。故选D项。 （最新模拟试题演练） 1.（2026·江苏省南通市高三上学期9月调研测试） Twenty-two years ago, I went to London on a special mission — talking about establishing a museum to celebrate the founder of genetics, Gregor Mendel. Suddenly, someone came in and told me I had won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine jointly with Tim and Leland Hartwell, for our work on how cells control their division. Suddenly you become a public character being asked to do all sorts of things: to give lectures, to sit on committees and reviews you are not always well qualified to be on. A big problem is that people think you have something sensible to say about nearly everything. Over time, a potential red flag is that you start to believe that perhaps you do know about nearly everything. This is a disease I’ve called “Nobelitis”, which I sincerely hope I have managed to avoid. Within a year of getting the prize, I was offered and accepted the Presidency of Rockefeller University in New York. The Royal Society, the UK’s national academy of sciences, elected me president. The society traditionally elects accomplished researchers, which greatly helps it to be taken seriously when it gives scientific advice. Meanwhile, I became director of the Francis Crick Institute. What about my research after the prize? Doing high-quality science depends on high-quality researchers. When you are young and are starting a new field, it’s not difficult to attract very good research colleagues because people like working with new researchers in exciting areas, but as you get older that can become more difficult. Having a Nobel Prize does help. I’ve just started three excellent new PhD students. It’s a privilege for me to be able to pursue curiosity-driven research at this late stage of my career. Anyway, one thing I am glad to say that the Nobel Prize did not influence was peer review from my fellow scientists, responsible for assessing the suitability of my own research for publication, and my funding applications. My rejection rates have remained essentially the same before and after the prize. And that, of course, is exactly how it should be. 1．What was the author’s original aim of visiting London 22 years ago? A．To honor a pioneer in science. B．To attend Nobel Prize ceremony. C．To promote the author’s work on cells. D．To show gratitude to the author’s colleagues. 2．Which of the following can best explain “Nobelitis”? A．A burning desire to win a Nobel Prize. B．Being addicted to being a public character. C．A Nobel Prize winner acting as a “Mr. Know-all”. D．Being overconfident in a particular research field. 3．What do paragraph 3 and 4 mainly talk about? A．How the author contributed to various institutes. B．How the author balanced leadership and research. C．How the Nobel Prize impacted the author’s career. D．How the Nobel Prize enhanced the author’s reputation. 4．What does the author take comfort in after winning the Nobel Prize? A．The ever-increasing public recognition. B．The objective and fair evaluation from peers. C．The closer cooperation with fellow scientists. D．The easier accessibility of funding opportunities. 【答案】1．A 2．C 3．C 4．B 【解析】本文是一篇记叙文。文章是作者对自己获得诺贝尔奖后生活、工作变化的回顾与思考。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段的句子“Twenty-two years ago, I went to London on a special mission— talking about establishing a museum to celebrate the founder of genetics, Gregor Mendel.(22年前，我带着一项特殊任务去了伦敦——讨论建立一个博物馆来纪念遗传学创始人格雷戈尔·孟德尔)”可知，作者去伦敦的初衷是为了讨论建立一个博物馆以纪念遗传学的创始人孟德尔。故选A项。 2．词句猜测题。根据第二段的句子“A big problem is that people think you have something sensible to say about nearly everything. Over time, a potential red flag is that you start to believe that perhaps you do know about nearly everything. This is a disease I’ve called ‘Nobelitis’(一个大问题是，人们认为你对几乎所有事情都有明智的看法。随着时间的推移，一个潜在的危险信号是，你开始相信也许你知道几乎所有的事情。这是一种我称之为“Nobelitis”的疾病)”可知，“Nobelitis”指的是诺贝尔奖得主开始相信自己对几乎所有事情都了如指掌，即表现出一种“万事通”的姿态。故选C项。 3．主旨大意题。根据第三段中“Within a year of getting the prize, I was offered and accepted the Presidency of Rockefeller University in New York. The Royal Society, the UK’s national academy of sciences, elected me president. (获奖后不到一年，我就被邀请担任纽约洛克菲勒大学的校长。英国国家科学院皇家学会选举我为主席)”和第四段中“I’ve just started three excellent new PhD students. It’s a privilege for me to be able to pursue curiosity-driven research at this late stage of my career.(我刚培养了三位优秀的博士生。在我职业生涯的最后阶段，能够追求好奇心驱动的研究对我来说是一种荣幸)”可知，第三、四段主要讲述诺贝尔奖如何影响了作者的职业生涯。故选C项。 4．细节理解题。根据最后一段“Anyway, one thing I am glad to say that the Nobel Prize did not influence was peer review from my fellow scientists, responsible for assessing the suitability of my own research for publication, and my funding applications. My rejection rates have remained essentially the same before and after the prize. And that, of course, is exactly how it should be.(无论如何，有一件事我很高兴地说，诺贝尔奖没有影响到我的同行科学家的同行评议，他们负责评估我自己的研究是否适合发表，以及我的资助申请。获奖前后，我的拒稿率基本保持不变。当然，这正是它应该有的样子)”可知，作者在获得诺贝尔奖后，同行对其研究的评价和资金申请的拒绝率基本保持不变，作者对此感到欣慰。这表明作者对同行的客观和公正评价感到满意。故选B项。 2.（2026·山东省枣庄市第八中学高三上学期第零次诊断测试） Lately, I have found myself rarely paying close attention to trends, watching fashion shows or following fashion influencers. I love looking at everyone’s unique style, and believe that fashion of personal taste is one of the best ways to express ourselves. The findings astonish me. My attitude and behavior have undergone a transformation that I once wanted but lacked the courage to pursue without me realizing. The media we consume, and the people we’re around affect how we dress and express ourselves. When I was in high school, I was afraid to wear the clothes I wanted. When I wore an item that seemed normal for a girl like me but was considered strange by my classmates—a bright purple dress—people laughed at me in the hall. I remember putting it into the back of my closet (衣柜) and never wearing it again. Now, I don’t care as much; I like trying almost all kinds of style. Actually it’s because I’m in college now, and college students have more important things to pay attention to than what someone else wears, but I finally feel I can dress in the way I want and express myself. I take fashion inspiration from my favorite colors and cartoons. The self-expression brings me more reflection and I’m not going to change myself for anyone. Everyone can follow their heart and develop their own style, and they should be able to do so freely. When I go outside wearing what I like to wear, I feel confident and more like myself. I no longer feel like I’m wearing clothes that will make me blend in with (协调) the crowd. Blending in with the crowd that way is meaningless. 1．Why is the author surprised? A．She changes unknowingly. B．Fashion trends become diverse. C．People have their own style. D．Her focus of interest is different. 2．What does the author aim to show in paragraph 2? A．It’s hard to insist on our decision. B．Dignity is linked with what people wear. C．Views of the majority can be wrong. D．People may be pressured to satisfy others. 3．What makes the author start to worry less about her wear now? A．Her desire to express herself. B．The shift in students’ concerns. C．Her acceptance of various types. D．The awakening of self-awareness. 4．What will the author do later? A．Pursue more unique style. B．Value inspiration from favorites. C．Stick to her inner voice. D．Avoid meaningless interaction. 【答案】1．A 2．D 3．B 4．C 【解析】本文是记叙文。主要讲述了作者反思了穿衣风格对自我表达的重要性，经历了从害怕被嘲笑到大胆追求个人风格的过程，最终在大学中获得了自信与独立，开始尊重自己的喜好，听从自己内心的声音。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段“Lately, I have found myself rarely paying close attention to trends, watching fashion shows or following fashion influencers. I love looking at everyone’s unique style, and believe that fashion of personal taste is one of the best ways to express ourselves. The findings astonish me. My attitude and behavior have undergone a transformation that I once wanted but lacked the courage to pursue without me realizing.(最近，我发现自己很少关注潮流，看时装秀或追随时尚影响者。我喜欢看每个人独特的风格，并且相信个人品味的时尚是表达自我的最好方式之一。这些发现使我吃惊。我的态度和行为经历了我曾经想要却没有勇气去追求的转变，而我自己却没有意识到。)”可知，作者感到惊讶是因为她在不知不觉中改变了（从关注潮流、在意他人看法到欣赏不同的风格）。故选A项。 2．推理判断题。根据第二段的“The media we consume, and the people we’re around affect how we dress and express ourselves.(我们消费的媒体和我们周围的人影响着我们的着装和表达方式。)”和“When I wore an item that seemed normal for a girl like me but was considered strange by my classmates — a bright purple dress — people laughed at me in the hall. I remember putting it into the back of my closet (衣柜) and never wearing it again.(当我穿了一件对我这样的女孩来说似乎很正常，但在同学们看来却很奇怪的衣服时，大厅里的人都嘲笑我。我记得我把它放在衣柜的后面，再也没有穿过它。)”可知，作者认为我们接触的媒体和周围的人会影响我们的穿着和自我表达，在高中时她喜欢的一件裙子被人嘲笑，她就把它放到了衣柜的最里面，再也没有穿过。结合首句中作者的观点以及作者的经历可知，作者想要说明人们有时候会迫于压力去迎合他人。故选D项。 3．细节理解题。根据第三段中“Actually it’s because I’m in college now, and college students have more important things to pay attention to than what someone else wears, but I finally feel I can dress in the way I want and express myself.(实际上，这是因为我现在上大学了，大学生有比别人穿什么更重要的事情要关注，但我终于觉得我可以按照我想要的方式穿着并表达自己。)”可知，学生关注点的转变让作者现在开始不那么担心自己的穿着了。故选B项。 4．推理判断题。根据最后一段“The self-expression brings me more reflection and I’m not going to change myself for anyone. Everyone can follow their heart and develop their own style, and they should be able to do so freely. When I go outside wearing what I like to wear, I feel confident and more like myself. I no longer feel like I’m wearing clothes that will make me blend in with (协调) the crowd. Blending in with the crowd that way is meaningless.(自我表达给我带来了更多的反思，我不会为了任何人而改变自己。每个人都可以跟随自己的心，发展自己的风格，他们应该能够自由地这样做。当我穿着我喜欢的衣服出门时，我感到自信，更像我自己。我不再想要穿会让我融入人群的衣服。那样混进人群是没有意义的。)”可推知，作者之后会做坚持她内心的声音。故选C项。 3.（2026·湘豫名校高三上学期入学摸底） Jesse Barber, a documentary photographer and lifelong resident of Western North Carolina, brings a deeply personal camera to cover the destruction of Hurricane Helene. As a graduate of Appalachian State University in Documentary and Appalachian Studies, Barber focuses on capturing (拍摄) rural life in his beloved mountains. However, Helene presented an unexpected challenge. “The photos of destruction are endless, and are going to continue to be endless,” he said. Barber drove over 1,000 miles in the region over three days last week, to Brevard and beyond, finding the shots, talking with rescue workers and residents. But as a local, Barber brought a different focus than many journalists and photographers covering the storm’s destruction and the beginnings of recovery. “I started to feel the outsider in me becomes the insider,” he says. His copious knowledge of the conditions in the area proved crucial. When an editor suggested staying in an Asheville hotel, Barber knew it was impossible. Leaving his own flooding basement, he found no gas or food, realizing the situation was far worse than editors understood. At a Marion gas station, he photographed a man whose house was half-destroyed, a pure introduction to the degree of personal loss. Barber’s approach prioritized connection over quick disaster shots. “I’m trying to experience and listen,” he says, valuing the sense of place and people. While documenting shocking geological changes, he also sought resilience (韧性) and hope among the disaster. He met tired and hungry residents maintaining positive attitudes, like a Bat Cave-born volunteer firefighter in Chimney Rock who insisted, “We’ll be all right… Things will be a little different but we’ll still be here.” As national attention shifts, Barber will remain focused on Appalachia. His rapid response during Helene “confirmed my investment in staying rooted in place,” he says, ensuring his choice to live in Morganton over larger art centres. “I do feel like my work and my instruction are worthwhile. I just want to do my people good.” 1．What prepared Barber to cover Hurricane Helene? A．His studies in big cities. B．His local life experience. C．Special disaster training. D．Work with national media. 2．What does the underlined word “copious” in paragraph 3 mean? A．Limited. B．Enormous. C．Advanced. D．Further. 3．What makes Barber’s photos different from others? A．Centering on destruction. B．Ignoring people’s suffering. C．Focusing on people’s spirits. D．Avoiding geological change. 4．What does Barber’s story show? A．Social responsibilities matter. B．Disaster shots define impact. C．Big cities offer better growth. D．Teamwork is crucial in media. 【答案】1．B 2．B 3．C 4．A 【解析】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了纪实摄影师Jesse Barber作为北卡罗来纳州西部本地人，以独特的视角记录飓风 Helene的破坏，重点关注受灾者的韧性和希望，体现了其对家乡的社会责任感。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段中“Jesse Barber, a documentary photographer and lifelong resident of Western North Carolina (Jesse Barber是一位纪实摄影师，也是北卡罗来纳州西部的终身居民)”和“As a graduate of Appalachian State University in Documentary and Appalachian Studies, Barber focuses on capturing rural life in his beloved mountains. (作为阿巴拉契亚州立大学纪录片和阿巴拉契亚研究专业的毕业生，Barber专注于记录他深爱的山区乡村生活)”可知，Barber是长期生活在北卡罗来纳州西部的本地人，并专门研究该地区的乡村生活，这种本地生活经验为他报道飓风Helene奠定了基础。故选B项。 2．词句猜测题。根据画线词的下文“When an editor suggested staying in an Asheville hotel, Barber knew it was impossible. Leaving his own flooding basement, he found no gas or food, realizing the situation was far worse than editors understood. (当一位编辑建议住在阿什维尔的酒店时，Barber知道这根本不可行。离开自己被洪水淹没的地下室后，他发现加油站没有汽油，商店也没有食物——这让他意识到，实际情况远比编辑们想象的更为严峻)”可知，Barber对当地情况有深入的了解，能判断出记者的建议不可行，说明他的知识很“丰富”，画线词copious意为“丰富的，很多的”，与Enormous“（数量）巨大的”意思相近。故选B项。 3．细节理解题。根据第四段中“Barber’s approach prioritized connection over quick disaster shots. (Barber的方法更注重与人的联系，而非快速拍摄灾难场景)”和“While documenting shocking geological changes, he also sought resilience (韧性) and hope among the disaster. (在记录触目惊心的地质变化的同时，他也试图在这场灾难中寻找人们的坚韧与希望)”可知，Barber的照片不仅记录破坏，更关注人们在灾难中表现出的韧性与希望，即聚焦于人们的精神层面，这使其照片有别于他人。故选C项。 4．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“As national attention shifts, Barber will remain focused on Appalachia. (当全国的关注逐渐转移时，Barber仍会持续聚焦阿巴拉契亚地区)”和“I do feel like my work and my instruction are worthwhile. I just want to do my people good. (我确实认为我的工作和指引是有价值的。我只想为我的乡亲们做些实事)”可知，Barber选择扎根家乡，用镜头记录当地故事，为乡亲们带来积极影响，体现了他的社会责任感，其故事表明社会责任的重要性。故选A项。 4.（2026·安徽省六校教育研究会高三上学期9月月考） Walking into Dryden Theater, I felt as if I had stepped into a time machine — the traditional, old-timey box office, tons of old-style movie posters on the walls. As everyone took their seats, an older gentleman who looked like he walked straight out of the 1920s spoke to all of the attendees. Normally, Philip Carli is pianist playing the live accompaniment for the films. However, The Barker has music synchronized (同步) with the film, so he was tasked with giving the audience a historical background of the film. Carli’s wide breadth of knowledge about the background of the film made it feel as if I was transported to the time and place of The Barker before the start of the film. Earlier, films were played with live accompaniment, contained intertitles to add context, and some added sound bites. With the invention of synchronized sound, films slowly added talking dialogue in scenes occasionally. The Barker, released in 1928, is considered a “part-talkie”. The film, which explores the lives of workers, is the first appearance of all of the main cast in a talking role. It was revolutionary for the technology but also for the actors. My film experience consists of mostly talkies (有声电影), so watching The Barker, I felt like I witnessed something brand new. The experience was unlike any movie-going experience I have ever had. Since viewing films has gradually been reduced to streaming services, especially since the pandemic, this has increased the accessibility of film but we are stripped of a social experience to watch a movie — one that attending The Barker reminded me of. This allowed us to return to the movie-going adventure. Finally, everyone wanted big screens and surround sound rather than the tiny screens in bedrooms. More importantly, we were all able to interact with a piece of content alongside other people. The experience brought back the pastime of going to the cinema — one that I think we should continue to enjoy. I say we take a page out of the 1920s playbook and return back to the cinema. 1．Who is Philip Carli? A．A famous pianist in the film. B．A person introducing the music. C．A staff member in a box office. D．A musician playing music live. 2．What can we know about The Barker? A．Its main cast had dialogues. B．It had an old-style movie poster. C．It was a talkie about workers. D．It attracted quantities of audience. 3．What does the underlined word “stripped” probably mean in paragraph 5? A．Disapproved. B．Dispossessed. C．Transferred. D．Transformed. 4．What’s the purpose of this passage? A．To introduce a brand new film. B．To compare silent films and sound films. C．To appeal for seeing films in the cinema. D．To show the author’s preference for films. 【答案】1．D 2．A 3．B 4．C 【解析】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者在Dryden Theater观看电影《The Barker》的独特体验，并呼吁人们重回电影院观影。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段中“Normally, Philip Carli is pianist playing the live accompaniment for the films.(通常，菲利普·卡利是为电影现场伴奏的钢琴家。)”可知，菲利普·卡利是为电影现场伴奏的音乐家。故选D。 2．细节理解题。根据第四段中“The film, which explores the lives of workers, is the first appearance of all of the main cast in a talking role.(这部电影探讨了工人们的生活，是所有主要演员首次以发声角色亮相的作品。)”可知，该电影的主要演员有对白。故选A。 3．词句猜测题。根据第五段中“Since viewing films has gradually been reduced to streaming services, especially since the pandemic, this has increased the accessibility of film but we are(由于观影逐渐减少到流媒体服务，尤其是在疫情之后，这增加了观影的便利性，但我们)”以及后文“a social experience to watch a movie—one that attending The Barker reminded me of.(一种看电影的社交体验——观看《The Barker》让我想起了这种体验。)”可知，后文提到观看《The Barker》让作者想起了看电影的社交体验，说明流媒体服务虽然增加了观影的便利性，但却剥夺了人们共同观影的社交体验。故stripped意思是“剥夺”。A. Disapproved不赞成；B. Dispossessed剥夺；C. Transferred转移；D. Transformed转变。故选B。 4．推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是根据最后一段“The experience brought back the pastime of going to the cinema — one that I think we should continue to enjoy. I say we take a page out of the 1920s playbook and return back to the cinema.(这次经历让我想起了去电影院看电影的消遣方式——我认为我们应该继续享受这种方式。我说我们应该借鉴20世纪20年代的做法，回到电影院。)”可知，文章主要讲述了作者在Dryden Theater观看电影《The Barker》的独特体验，并呼吁人们重回电影院观影。可推知，文章的目的是呼吁人们去电影院看电影。故选C。 5.（2026·安徽省华师联盟高三上学期9月开学联考）I’ve always been an adventurer. As a kid in Hackney, London, I wandered around the streets. In my 20s, I hiked through the Americas. After returning to Liverpool and working as a photographer, I settled down. However, when my relationship ended, I was heartbroken but decided to return to my adventurous roots. In 2016, I began a 1,000-mile trip by myself through Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, and Kyrgyzstan, mostly on foot. Travelling slowly allowed me to connect with people from all walks of life. In the UK, I struggled to make such connections, but abroad, my foreignness drew people to me. For my next adventure — a five-month walk across the UK — I decided to bring a donkey (驴) to make myself more approachable. I found a donkey named Martin from a local farm. After seven months of training, we set off on a 700-mile journey from Cape Wrath in the Highlands to Dorset. The journey was incredibly arduous. The west Highlands were hilly, full of bogs (沼泽地), and filled with biting insects. For the first six weeks, I felt out of my depth and often questioned whether I should continue. There were moments of depression, like when Martin refused to cross a bog, leaving me feeling both angry and guilty.

But Farber is certain he’ll have the last laugh. He’s one of a small but growing number of American veterinarians (兽医) now practicing “holistic” medicine-combining traditional Western treatments with acupuncture, chiropractic (按摩疗法) and herbal medicine. 24. What do some of Farber’s coworkers think of him? A. He’s odd. B. He’s strict. C. He’s brave. D. He’s rude. 2.（2022年新高考全国Ⅱ卷）Sorry, kid. This book is not part of your high-tech world. It’s an outdated, lifeless thing. An antique, like your grandfather. Well, I may be old, but I’m not hopelessly challenged, digitally speaking. I edit video and produce audio. I use mobile payment. I’ve even built websites. 6. What does the author think of himself? A. Socially ambitious. B. Physically attractive. C. Financially independent. D. Digitally competent. 3.（2025·河北省部分学校高三下学期二轮复习联考（三））At first, Lamm tried to put her phone in a drawer and didn’t look at it for a whole day, which she said “was very inconvenient to everyone in my life”. It took her about a year to sell her smartphone and fully commit to the dumbphone lifestyle. Her dumbphone offers only basic calling and texting. Still, there are certain things that may feel impossible to navigate without smartphones, since they are more than just texting and scrolling (滚动) through social media. In 2025, these devices function as virtual wallets, health trackers, identification tools, and even personal assistants. However, Lamm has found solutions for the challenges. “You figure out these solutions by asking,” Lamm said, “like asking the parking company if they can give you another option when you can’t use parking meter (计时器), and a lot of the time they will” 21．How can we best describe August Lamm according to the text? A．Responsible and strict. B．Determined and adaptable. C．Generous and charitable. D．Fashionable and knowledgeable. 1.（2026·陕青晋宁四省高三上学期第一次联考）I was 21 when I broke the world record as the youngest woman to ski solo (独自地) to the South Pole. On the hardest day, snow piled up to my knees, the wind howled like a wild beast, and the cold pierced through every layer of my clothes. My sledge (雪橇) felt heavier with each step, my muscles burning, and my breath shallow in the thin air. But I refused to stop. Growing up in Norway, I was easily exposed to the wilderness. Stories of Roald Amundsen, the first man to reach the South Pole, filled me with wonder. And that was when my desire to explore nature was born. I spent hours skiing in the mountains, camping under stars, and starting campfires with frozen fingers. At 14, I made a brave decision — to ski across Greenland. Most people doubted me. I was just under 5 feet tall and looked more like a child than an explorer. But Lars Ebbesen, a famous polar guide, saw my determination and trained me. He taught me how to fix broken equipment with frozen hands and read the sky for signs of danger. “You must be strong and smart,” he told me over and over. To prove myself, I then went on a training trip to Finnmark, where darkness ruled and temperatures fell to -35℃. I learned to set up tents with frozen hands and sleep through winds that shook the earth. Finally I set off with Lars and it took us 28 days to cross Greenland. Encouraged, at 15, I decided my next goal was Antarctica. My father helped me make plans. My mother, though cautious, eventually supported me. When I finally began my 1,130 km journey to the South Pole last November, I was 21. Some days, I cried behind my glasses, struggling through snowstorms, dragging my aching body forward. But I never gave up. Fifty-four days later, I reached the South Pole. I stood in silence, tears freezing on my cheeks. I sent Lars a chick emoji — at last, the “polar egg” hatched. 1．What inspired the author to explore nature? A．Her desire to break a record. B．Her love for South Pole. C．Her mother’s encouragement. D．Her admiration for Roald. 2．How did Lars help the author? A．By teaching her survival skills. B．By financing her exploration. C．By training her to ski skillfully. D．By convincing her parents to support her. 3．What can we learn from paragraph 4 about the author? A．She gathered some hands-on experience. B．She went to Finnmark accompanied by a guide. C．She was praised for her courage by many people. D．She met many challenges when crossing Greenland. 4．Which of the following can best describe the author? A．Outgoing and caring. B．Ambitious and sensitive. C．Humorous and considerate. D．Adventurous and determined. 2.（2026·河北省部分学校高三上学期9月开学考试） Growing up, I was one of those energetic kids who never sat still. I was always doing cartwheels, flips, and generally bouncing off the walls whenever I got the chance. At the age of 4, I started in gymnastics and used that as an outlet for my endless energy for several years. I participated in gymnastics until the age of 10, when I had a conversation with my parents that changed the direction of my life forever. When talking about my early gymnastics career, I failed to mention that I was born with fibular hemimelia (腓侧半肢畸形) — meaning I didn’t have fibulas, ankles, heels, and most of the other bones in my feet. At 18 months old, both of my lower legs were cut off, so I could be fitted with prosthetic (假体的) legs and learn to walk. Then, as a 10-year-old, my parents sat me down to tell me that at some point I would have to wear prosthetics during gymnastics because I would damage my knees from all of the force I was subjecting them to. I tried gymnastics with my prosthetics and it just didn’t feel right. At that point, I knew my future wasn’t in gymnastics. But I always felt like I was a mermaid (美人鱼) or a fish when I got into the water, so after moving on from the beam (平衡木) to the pool, I started doing competitive swimming. Through years of hard training, however, I went from the little girl who wasn’t comfortable doing gymnastics with my prosthetics to a 17-time Paralympic medalist with my eyes squarely set on the next Paralympic Games. I’m often asked by media or people I come across what advice I have for kids with disabilities or kids that might be going through issues in school. My answer is that it’s important to always be confident, find something you’re really passionate about — whether it’s reading, music, cooking, or sports, and really go for it. 1．What was the author’s initial passion? A．Music. B．Gymnastics. C．Cooking. D．Swimming. 2．Why did the author start to work on swimming? A．It was her dream to become a swimmer. B．Her parents stopped her from doing gymnastics. C．She wanted to participate in Paralympic Games. D．Gymnastics with prosthetics made her uncomfortable. 3．Which words can best describe the author? A．Talented and generous. B．Friendly and humorous. C．Energetic and confident. D．Brilliant and warm-hearted. 4．What may be the best title for the text? A．A Disabled Girl’s Sad Story B．To Win Paralympic Medals C．From the Beam to the Pool D．My Great Sports Achievements 考点二 描述作者对发生事件的态度 高考记叙文阅读理解中常有描述作者对事件的态度阅读理解题。命题人通过文章中对文章的整体内容的思考，进而让考生推测作者的写作态度。 【解题指导】 把描述作者态度的词一一列出，基本上考题不会超出这些词汇，考前把它们的意思记熟。预测每个词需要和什么样的事实相对应，这样在考场上就能迅速地找到答案。对这种题要迅速解决，以给其他试题提供做题时间。 【描写作者态度的形容词】（选项常用词） ambitious有雄心的；undoubted无怀疑的；indifferent冷漠的；unconfident没信心的；uncaring不关心的；worried担心的；satisfied满意的；cautious谨慎的；favorable赞同的；doubtful怀疑的；uninterested不感兴趣的；frightened 害怕的；puzzled迷惑不解的；concerned关心的；happy高兴的；tolerant忍受的；sympathetic同情的； delighted高兴的；carefree无忧无虑的; 无牵挂的; 不负责任的 unclear不清楚的； opposed反对的；appreciative adj.感激的; 感谢的; 欣赏的; 赏识的; suspicious adj.感觉可疑的; 怀疑的; 令人怀疑的; 可疑的; 不信任的; 持怀疑态度的；objective adj.客观的; 就事论事的; 不带个人感情的; 客观存在的; 基于事实的; confused迷惑不解的；conservative adj.保守的; 守旧的;pessimistic悲观的； disapproving不同意的；ambiguous模棱两可的；skeptical怀疑的 熟记这些作者态度的形容词，深刻理解每个词的含义。设想每个词可能的描述事实。这样我们在考试上，就能迅速找到正确答案。 （2024北京卷）When I was a little girl, I liked drawing, freely and joyously making marks on the walls at home. In primary school, I learned to write using chalks. Writing seemed to be another form of drawing. I shaped individual letters into repeating lines, which were abstract forms, delightful but meaningless patterns. In secondary school, art was my favourite subject. Since. I loved it so much I thought I was good at it. For the art O-level exam I had to present an oil painting. I found it difficult, but still hoped to pass. I failed, with a low grade. I’d been over-confident. Now I’d been declared talentless. But other channels of creativity stayed open: I went on writing poems and stories. Still, I went to exhibitions often. I continued my habitual drawing, which I now characterised as childish doodling (乱画). In my 30s, I made painter friends and learned new ways of looking at art. However, I couldn’t let myself have a go at actually doing it. Though these new friends were abstract painters using oil paints, or were printmakers or sculptors, I took oil painting as the taboo (禁忌) high form I wasn’t allowed to practice. One night, in my early 40s, I dreamed that a big woman in red approached me, handed me a bag of paints, and told me to start painting. The dream felt so authoritative that it shook me. It was a form of energy, giving me back something I’d lost. Accordingly, I started by experimenting with water colours. Finally, I bought some oil paints. Although I have enjoyed breaking my decades-long taboo about working with oil paints, I have discovered I now prefer chalks and ink. I let my line drawings turn into cartoons I send to friends. It all feels free and easy. Un-anxious. This time around, I can accept my limitations but keep going. Becoming a successful painter calls for being resolute. I realised I was always afraid of wanting too much. That dream reminded me that those fears and desires could encourage me to take risks and make experiments. 24. How did the author feel about the result of the art exam? A. Scared. B. Worried. C. Discouraged. D. Wronged. 26. Which word would best describe the author’s dream? A. Confusing. B. Empowering. C. Disturbing. D. Entertaining. （2026·河北省唐山市高三上学期开学）At Broken Hill High School, my Year 9 science class’s crop reports read like death notices, “Tomato plant grew. Then died.”15 identical reports, lacking in curiosity. “Why bother?” Julia kicked dust over her dying young plants, “Google’s got answers.” I realized something was wrong. So I replaced textbooks with tools. “Forget reports. Tend your plot daily-then journal whatever you notice.” No grading rules, no grades. Just earth-covered notebooks. For two weeks, 28 skeptical (持怀疑态度的) teens watered and weeded at the 40°C heat. Then came Julia’s entry, “The cracks in the soil aren’t just dry — they’re thirsty mouths begging. When I pour water, they swallow. Yesterday, an ant drowned in one. Felt like a crime. “Drama queen,” Carlos rolled his eyes. But the next morning, he was bending by his beans, writing “Roots are secret miners. They drill for gold we can’t see.” By harvest month, their journals were filled with sentences like those. “Let’s make a book,” proposed Julia. Using biology lab microscopes, students photographed tiny insects on cabbages. Art class carved lino prints (油粘版画)of root systems. We crowd-funded printing for “Dirt Diaries — True Tales from the School Plot”. My “scientists” sold 200 copies in three hours. Profits went to local farmers. But the true harvest came when Julia handed a copy of “Dirt Diaries” to our librarian. She showed him the “Your Turn” section, which read, “Plant a seed (any seed). When it comes up, write what it whispers. Pass this book on.” Her tomato death notice now reads, “Bye ‘Big Red’ — victim of my ambition (3kg overfed fertilizer). Lesson: More love ≠ more growth. Humans too.” 1．How would you describe the 15 reports? A．Short but lively. B．Technical but vivid. C．Detailed and scientific. D．Similar and uninteresting. 2．What can be inferred from Julia’s journal entry? A．She was afraid of insects. B．She was addicted to literature. C．She was deeply engaged with nature. D．She was anxious about writing reports. 3．Why did Julia give the book to the library? A．To make larger profits from it. B．To please the librarian. C．To earn a lot more reputation for her. D．To call on others to plant and journal. 4．What is the best title for the passage? A．Why More Love killed Growth B．How crop Reports Improved Creativity C．How dirt Under the Nails Grew Stories D．Why Tools Mattered More Than Textbooks 考点三 考查主旨大意 在记叙文的阅读过程中，要注意把握人物的情感发展过程；事件的发展线索；作者思想感情的变化过程以及时间、空间的变化。阅读时做到不漏细节，把准寓意，方能成功。 在阅读过程中，找出“5Ws 和 1H”；按照线索弄清事情的来龙去脉，理解了文章的脉络，理解整个故事。记叙文需要事件的发展过程作支撑，一半以上的题目都会用来检测考生对故事的了解，因此，我们必须弄明白整件事情的发展脉络。而其余像主旨大意、作者意图之类的题目，集中考查对作者所发的感触的理解。 依附原文，切忌主观臆断 答题时把握文章的线索，结合文章的主旨大意，切勿主观臆断； 主旨大意题 1. 避免主观臆断：在阅读原文基础上，仔细甄别选项是否与文章主题有密切联系； 2. 涵盖性强：看选项对文章的概括性或覆盖面如何。避免以偏概全，范围过大或过小。 解题步骤 1.通览全局 2.关注首尾段落：70%的记叙文在开头点题，结尾升华 3.勾画重复出现的关键词（人物行为/情感变化/象征物） 4.分析结构 情节发展： 开端 → 发展 → 高潮 → 结局 → 感悟 5.情感曲线： 通过形容词/副词捕捉情绪变化（如：frustrated → determined → relieved） 6.定位核心要素 ①主人公的关键抉择或顿悟时刻 ②人物关系转折点（如：从冲突到和解） ③象征物的深层含义（如：broken watch象征时间珍贵） ④排除干扰项 错误选项特征： □ 仅概括某个细节（出现具体人名/数字） □ 包含未提及的推论（出现must/only等绝对词） □ 与作者情感基调相悖（如文章悲伤却选乐观选项） 实战技巧 1.标题关联法：结合文章标题理解主旨（如标题"The Gift"多指情感馈赠而非实物） 2.三问检验法： ①主要人物经历了什么？ ②这个经历带来什么改变？ ③作者想通过这个变化说明什么？ ④高频词统计：快速统计重复3次以上的名词/动词 ⑤视角判断：第一人称故事往往包含个人成长主题 典型错误规避 1.混淆客观事实与主观意图：避免把故事内容当主旨 2.过度解读：不添加原文未有元素 1.（2023年新高考全国Ⅱ卷）Turning soil, pulling weeds, and harvesting cabbage sound like tough work for middle and high school kids. And at first it is, says Abby Jaramillo, who with another teacher started Urban Sprouts, a school garden program at four low-income schools. The program aims to help students develop science skills, environmental awareness, and healthy lifestyles. Jaramillo’s students live in neighborhoods where fresh food and green space are not easy to find and fast food restaurants outnumber grocery stores. “The kids literally come to school with bags of snacks and large bottles of soft drinks,” she says. “They come to us thinking vegetables are awful, dirt is awful, insects are awful.” Though some are initially scared of the insects and turned off by the dirt, most are eager to try something new. Urban Sprouts’ classes, at two middle schools and two high schools, include hands-on experiments such as soil testing, flower-and-seed dissection, tastings of fresh or dried produce, and work in the garden. Several times a year, students cook the vegetables they grow, and they occasionally make salads for their entire schools. Program evaluations show that kids eat more vegetables as a result of the classes. “We have students who say they went home and talked to their parents and now they’re eating differently,” Jaramillo says. She adds that the program’s benefits go beyond nutrition. Some students get so interested in gardening that they bring home seeds to start their own vegetable gardens. Besides, working in the garden seems to have a calming effect on Jaramillo’s special education students, many of whom have emotional control issues. “They get outside,” she says, “and they feel successful.” 7. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Rescuing School Gardens B. Experiencing Country Life C. Growing Vegetable Lovers D. Changing Local Landscape 2.(2021年新高考全国Ⅱ 卷)A British woman who won a S1 million prize after she was named the World's Best Teacher will use the cash to bring inspirational figures into UK schools. Andria Zafirakou,a north London secondary school teacher, said she wanted to bring about a classroom revolution (变革). “We are going to make a change, ”she said.“I’ve started a project to promote the teaching of the arts in our schools.” The project results from the difficulties many schools have in getting artists of any sort - whether an up-and-coming local musician or a major movie star - into schools to work with and inspire children. Zafirakou began the project at Alperton Community School, her place of work for the past twelve years. “I've seen those magic moments when children are talking to someone they are inspired by - their eyes are shining and their faces light up,” she said. “We need artists . more than ever in our schools." Artist Michael Craig-Martin said: “Andria's brilliant project to bring artists from all fields into direct contact with children is particularly welcome at a time when the arts are being downgraded in schools." It was a mistake to see the arts as unnecessary, he added. Historian Sir Simon Schama is also a supporter of the project. He said that arts education in schools was not just an add-on. “It is absolutely necessary. The future depends on creativity and creativity depends on the young. What will remain of us when artificial intelligence takes over will be our creativity, and it is our creative spirit, our visionary sense of freshness,that has been our strength for centuries." 11. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text? A. Bring Artists to Schools B. When Historians Meet Artists C. Arts Education in Britain D. The World's Best Arts Teacher 【解题思维过程】 1.（2026·江苏省南通市如东市高三上学期第一次学情检测） On the 31st of January, 1863, a small book began appearing in bookstores all over France. It was the adventures of three travellers. Readers found themselves puzzled by this book. Was it fact or fiction? It read like a real travel diary, including detailed descriptions of natural phenomena that were seen and notes taken on the spot as the travellers moved, but the adventures seemed fantastic! The title of this amazing work was Five Weeks in a Balloon and its first-time author was a man named Jules Verne. Jules Verne was born on February 8th, 1828, in the city of Nantes, France. From the family’s summer house just outside the city, young Jules could see the great docks and shipbuilding facilities of the region. And he often used his imagination to climb the great ships and go to foreign ports. Verne’s father sent him to Paris to study law. But there he found himself attracted to the theatre. Verne tried his hand at writing plays and the first one was produced in 1850. In order to support himself, Verne became a stockbroker (股票经纪人), a career that he did not like, but gave him enough financial support to write. There is a legend that in 1862 he stood on the steps of the Paris Stock Exchange and announced there, “My boys, I believe that I’m about to leave you. I’ve just written a new kind of novel, and if it succeeds it will be an unexplored gold mine.” It is hard to say if the above story is true. However, Verne certainly did invent a kind of novel, and it did bring him fortune and fame. Through Five Weeks in a Balloon and other books like Journey to the Center of the Earth, the 19th-century author’s novel predicted submarines (潜艇), flying machines, skyscrapers and even the moon landing while at the same time inspiring some of the world’s most important scientists. 1．Why were readers confused about the small book in 1863? A．Its author was unknown to them. B．The adventures described in it looked real. C．Its content was beyond their understanding. D．They couldn’t figure out its type of writing. 2．What can we learn about Jules Verne from paragraphs 2 and 3? A．Going to Paris was a turning point in his life. B．His first play was about a balloon adventure. C．Young Verne often took a trip to foreign ports. D．His career as a lawyer ensured his financial security. 3．Which word can describe Jules Verne’s attitude to his new novel from the legend? A．Doubtful. B．Positive. C．Worried. D．Unclear. 4．What is the best title for the text? A．Inspiration from the Past B．An Unexpected Adventure C．A Writer Ahead of His Time D．Some Works from the Future 2.（2026·河南省青桐鸣联考高三上学期9月月考） While most children struggle to form full sentences until they’re three or four, three-year-old Master Caleb Stewart was delivering speeches with more enthusiasm than a TED Talk. Now eleven years old, Caleb became the youngest motivational speaker (male) at the age of three, when he gave his first speech on the importance of self-belief. It was at the ALARM International Church in Tallahassee, and the young Master of Reading remembers his first speech fondly: “Everyone stood up for me and I felt proud of myself. It felt really good to see how I made an impact and inspired everyone.” Ever since that first experience, Caleb has continued to speak to schools, churches, and community leaders about topics ranging from dreaming big and believing in yourself to the importance of literacy and reading fluency. He made his second speech at Raa Middle School where, as a keynote speaker at a teacher training event, he stood on a table and spoke to the staff about the benefits of reading and having big dreams. A video of this speech became popular. Caleb writes his own speeches by picking a topic, breaking his thoughts into sections, and then putting them together to study. His key recommendations for a great speech are: “Be confident, be calm, and if you mess up, keep going. Speak loud and clear.” He is a passionate reader who, in his own words, “reads at every opportunity he gets”. When he was seven years old, after reading an article highlighting the lack of reading proficiency (能力) among today’s children, he decided that he wanted to help them improve their skills. So, he set up the Master Caleb’s Discovery Library—a non-profit library through which he donates books from his personal collection, along with other learning materials, to kids in his community.

Though I’d used binoculars (望远镜), field guides and song identification apps all summer while hiking, this was the first time I only watched birds. I’ve always cared about birds and have written about them as a science writer, but the moment I decided with purpose to devote time and energy to bird-watching marked my transformation into a birder. Seven months later, I’ve seen 452 species, learned dozens of calls, tracked rare birds, and even went looking for owls at night. I didn’t start from zero. My career spent writing about nature taught me about the habitats; journalism allowed me to quickly familiarize myself with new topics and new people. I crowdsourced tips on social media platforms and went out with experienced birders. I used tools available to beginners. Many regard birding as just turning lives into checklist numbers, but even that is harder without knowledge. To find the birds, you have to know them. And in doing that, much else falls into space. Birding has boosted my time outdoors, pushing me to explore my neighborhood in ways I never would have: amazing hot spots in industrial areas, wastewater treatment plants, and random parks. I seem imperious to heat, cold, hunger, and thirst. My mind quiets, focusing only on the present. I also feel a much deeper connection to nature, which I’ve long written about but always remained slightly distant from. Every bird I meet gives color and sound to the facts I once knew only from books. Birds I assumed lived far away — golden eagles, cranes — have all appeared within an hour of my house. People call birding an escape from reality. I reject that. Instead, I see it as involvement with the true reality. I don’t need to know social media drama when I can spend an hour hunting for a rare bird. The choice is obvious. Spring is coming. New birds will soon flood the Bay Area. I can’t wait. 1．What is paragraph 1 mainly about? A．When the author became a birder. B．The author’s early interest in birding. C．An ideal destination for new birders. D．A memorable birding trip without tools. 2．What does the author emphasize in paragraph 3? A．Why new birders can never start from zero. B．How prior skills have aided his/ her birding. C．The difficulties of birding without guidance. D．The use of effective bird identification tools. 3．What does the underlined phrase “imperious to” mean in paragraph 5? A．extremely afraid of. B．Strongly opposed to. C．easily contented with. D．completely unaffected by. 4．What is the author’s main message? A．Birding is an escape from reality. B．Technology kills real experience. C．Simple joys like birding enrich life. D．Hobbies require a lot of knowledge. 考点四 考查推理判断之人生感悟 1.命题形式 人生感悟是记叙文的独特的命题形式，它是从故事中人物的思想变化，经过一系列事物的发展，最终到达一个成熟的人生，从而感悟真谛，产生联想。人生感悟属于主旨概括题，类似于中心大意题。一方面，需要考生研读全文把握大意。另一方面需要吃透选项字面意思和言外之意方能把二者有效结合起来做出最佳选择。 27.

However, my students demonstrated something more important to me.

Since it wasn't dark yet after the meal, I decided to walk home from the restaurant. I had traveled that way before, yet I had never noticed that old little shop. But that night I felt drawn to the violin shop the moment I came across it. I wiped the dirt from the window to get a better look inside. Several violins hung from the dark walls, quietly waiting to be chosen. As my eyes rested on them, I felt as though I were looking through a window into my own past. My childhood was all about the pursuits I had attempted, most of which had been chosen by Mom. She was like, “Join the swim team, Tara. Your sister is a good swimmer;surely you will be, too. ”What she refused to acknowledge, however, was that I was visibly afraid of water. Every Saturday I begged Mom not to make me go to the swim meet, but had little chance of success. That said, with a bang of the starting gun, I would dive into the cold water with all my strength and swim to the other side of the pool as fast as I could, only to find that the other swimmers slid past me. I would have given it up if I had not heard my father's encouraging shouts to cheer me on. When at last my hand would grab the edge of the pool, he would always be there with a warm, dry towel, telling me how proud he was of my desperate efforts. Then came a turning point in my life the day our school orchestra( 管弦乐队)visited my class, and gave a demonstration. The drums annoyed me. The flutes(笛子)bored me. But the violin…ah, the violin. It made the sweetest sound I'd ever heard!My heart was dancing along with its flowing tune. For the first time in my life, I went so wild with joy. Tightly holding the permission slip from the orchestra director, I ran all the way home after school, and shakily handed it to my parents with a fear that they might dismiss my desire. They didn't. Mom was thrilled to see me finally excited about something, and Dad winked(眨眼示意)at me while eagerly signing the slip. I began practicing the violin with great passion, and rose quickly in ability. Before long I had won the first seat in the community orchestra … 45. What message does Tara's story convey? A. It's never too young to learn. B. A passionate interest works wonders. C. Hard work will pay off in the long run. D. Like mother, like daughter. 1.（2026·湖北省湖北省部分市州高三上学期9月调研一模） When Appa passed away peacefully one morning, part of my priceless inheritance (遗产) from him is a box of yellow pencils. Some barely used, some worn-down, but each unfailingly functional, they remind me of his love of solving crossword puzzles. In his 80s, Appa would read the day’s newspaper, cover to cover. A few minutes of reading with the sun streaming in through the bay windows. A spark in his mind, and bingo! He’d get that puzzling word to complete the puzzle. While my father used words for love, I did the same for a living. In my own mind, it did not matter how much I got paid for writing. I wrote because I loved it, often for or about non-profits — that is until recently. “You were paid peanuts!” said some of my younger, more worldly-wise friends. Unlike me, they found the best places to publish their work and the best editors to work with. But their words didn’t affect me. However, when an editor surprised me with a lower rate of pay for a piece they chose to publish online rather than in print, as was originally proposed, I was shocked... and hurt! But like my father, I saw the bright side — so many people read the piece and loved it, sharing joyful emotions and praise on social media. It did wonders for my confidence. Today, when doubts cloud my mind, I think of Appa’s sharpened pencil. Its purpose may have been to solve a crossword. A crossword is complete — and gives one joy — with only so many words, and only when each word rests on elements from the others. Couldn’t my words hold a duality (双重性) that completes my purpose too? And so, now I take up assignments, some that pay well, some that don’t, but together, and most importantly, they fill me with joy. After all, it is only our heartfelt passion that matters. 1．Why did the author mention his father in the article? A．To express the author’s love for his father. B．To emphasize his father’s influence on him. C．To introduce his father’s passion for the puzzles. D．To indicate his father’s supporting his career as a writer. 2．What does the underlined sentence “You were paid peanuts” mean in paragraph 4? A．You were paid in cash. B．You were paid lots of money. C．You were paid very little money. D．You were paid with valuable items. 3．What made the author feel hurt? A．The editor refused to publish his article. B．His article was published in print as proposed. C．His article was published online with a lower pay. D．The editor reduced the payment due to budget cuts. 4．What can we learn from this passage? A．Like father, like son. B．Follow your own path, and let others talk. C．What is done with passion is done well. D．Love what you do and do what you love. 2.（2026·江苏省南京市临江高级中学高三一模） Victor Su never imagined that a life-altering health challenge would bring him back to Northwestern University. After earning degrees in chemical and industrial engineering at Northwestern University, he spent twenty years in consulting and finance, ultimately working around the world — from America to Japan to the United Kingdom. However, because of putting in long hours at his job in London, Su suffered from a severe disease. His doctors didn’t expect him to survive. But after returning to New York City, via an air ambulance, Su overcame numerous difficulties. He gradually pulled himself out of a tough situation. He underwent five months of treatment and learned to walk again. He also struggled with right-side paralysis (瘫痪), memory loss, and a communication disorder that could affect his ability to talk, read, write, and understand spoken language. After Su was discharged from the hospital, his wife, Patricia Kou, knew he would need more treatment to keep improving. Searching online, she found a one-month intensive program at the Northwestern University Center for Audiology, Speech, Language, and Learning. In 2017, Kou accompanied Su to Northwestern University, where he worked five to six hours a day with speech and language clinicians. “It was a lifesaver for Su,” Kou says. “He regained his ability to communicate at the center and continued to progress at home through online sessions with the medical team.” “The treatment I received at Northwestern University made a huge difference in my recovery,” Su says. “I am forever grateful.” In gratitude for the treatment Su received, the family made a generous gift to establish the Su Family Community Impact Fund, which would help the university expand diagnostic and treatment services to underserved children and adults throughout the Chicago area. “One of our top priorities is to provide high-quality clinical services, not just to those who come to our clinic but to everybody in the community who may have trouble accessing them,” says a professor. The gift from the Su family will also support innovative and interdisciplinary research partnerships within the university. 1．What can we learn about Su from the first two paragraphs? A．He fell ill on account of overworking. B．He graduated from the United Kingdom. C．He was believed to recover within five months. D．He was sent from Japan to America for treatment. 2．What did Kou think of the program for Su at the Northwestern University Center? A．Relaxing. B．Fruitful. C．Time-consuming. D．Complicated. 3．Which word can best describe the Su family? A．Selfless. B．Honest. C．Underserved. D．Troublesome. 4．What can be concluded from the text? A．All roads lead to Rome. B．Facts speak louder than words. C．Innovation is the key to success.

A ditry stream, for example, often became clear after flowing through plants and along rocks where tiny creatures lived. When he got older, John started to wonder if this process could be used to clean up the messes people were making. After studying agriculture, medicine, and fisheries in college, John went back to observing nature and asking questions. Why can certain plants trap harmful bacteria (细菌)? Which kinds of fish can eat cancer-causing chemicals? With the right combination of animals and plants, he figured, maybe he could clean up waste the way nature did. He decided to build what he would later call an eco-machine. The task John set for himself was to remove harmful substances from some sludge (污泥). First, he constructed a series of clear fiberglass tanks connected to each other. Then he went around to local ponds and streams and brought back some plants and animals. He placed them in the tanks and waited. Little by little, these different kinds of life got used to one another and formed their own ecosystem. After a few weeks, John added the sludge. He was amazed at the results. The plants and animals in the eco-machine took the sludge as food and began to eat it! Within weeks, it had all been digested, and all that was left was pure water. Over the years, John has taken on many big jobs. He developed a greenhouse-like facility that treated sewage (污水) from 1,600 homes in South Burlington. He also designed an eco-machine to clean canal water in Fuzhou, a city in southeast China. “Ecological design” is the name John gives to what he does. “Life on Earth is kind of a box of spare parts for the inventor,” he says. “You put organisms in new relationships and observe what’s happening. Then you let these new systems develop their own ways to self-repair.” 4. What can we learn about John from the first two paragraphs? A. He was fond of traveling. B. He enjoyed being alone. C. He had an inquiring mind. D. He longed to be a doctor. 5. Why did John put the sludge into the tanks? A. To feed the animals. B. To build an ecosystem. C. To protect the plants. D. To test the eco-machine. 6. What is the author’s purpose in mentioning Fuzhou? A. To review John’s research plans. B. To show an application of John’s idea. C. To compare John’s different jobs. D. To erase doubts about John’s invention. 7. What is the basis for John’s work? A. Nature can repair itself. B. Organisms need water to survive. C. Life on Earth is diverse. D. Most tiny creatures live in groups. 1.（2026·四川省成都市第七中学高三上学期8月入学）Living a zero-waste lifestyle might seem like a daunting challenge to many, but for Robin Greenfield, an environmental activist, it’s a joyful mission to inspire change. To promote awareness of waste issues, he created the outstanding “Trash Walk”. Last year, he undertook another walk in Los Angeles. For a month, he lived like an average city resident — eating, shopping, and consuming — while attaching every piece of trash he produced to his body. By the end of the month, he wore a massive “trash suit” made of bottles, plastic, paper, and cans as he wandered through the streets of LA． And Robin Greenfield is not doing art for art’s sake. He has many useful recommendations on how to avoid trash, how to live sustainably and how to find out what is really important in life. He draws attention to works like The Story of stuff, which explores the interconnections of 21st-century capitalism. His book Food Freedom tackles one big problem of consumerist society: the broken system and terrible mechanisms of industrial agriculture. As always, he’s donating the profits and most of his earnings to important causes — this time to Indigenous and Black-led food sovereignty projects, many of which are run by women. He relies on exchanging knowledge and skills to live with minimal financial resources. Robin Greenfield enhances his authenticity by living his values. He’s working with others to build food systems that are regenerative, fair, and just. He demonstrates contentment through minimal material needs and inspirational actions, such as building sustainable tiny houses from recycled materials — projects he has repeated multiple times. His point was crystal clear — we don’t usually see the impact of all the waste we produce. But waste doesn’t just disappear. As a walking “trash man”, he invites everyone to imagine — and practically build — a world where protecting the planet becomes second nature. 1．What did Robin Greenfield do during his walk last year? A．He collected trash from the streets. B．He wore all the trash he generated. C．He resided in the streets of LA． D．He sold many artworks of trash. 2．Why is his book mentioned in paragraph 3? A．To emphasize his popularity as an author. B．To prove the benefits of living sustainably. C．To show his practical efforts for the environment. D．To criticize modern capitalism and consumerism. 3．What does Robin Greenfield suggest people do? A．Reuse and recycle waste materials. B．Lead an eco-friendly life instinctively. C．Maximize their material needs. D．Engage in industrial agriculture. 4．Which of the following best describes Robin Greenfield? A．Inspiring and caring. B．Innovative and serious. C．Passionate and carefree. D．Persistent and ambitious. 考点六 考查推理判断之人物感受 记叙文以人物故事发展为主线，涉及人物的思想、情感的变化都融入到故事中，这样推断人物的情感变化及人物的感受就成为记叙文独特的命题方向。 （2023年北京卷）Sitting in the garden for my friend’s birthday. I felt a buzz (振动) in my pocket. My heart raced when I saw the email sender’s name. The email started off: “Dear Mr Green, thank you for your interest” and “the review process took longer than expected.” It ended with “We are sorry to inform you…”and my vision blurred (模糊). The position—measuring soil quality in the Sahara Desert as part of an undergraduate research programme — had felt like the answer I had spent years looking for. I had put so much time and emotional energy into applying, and I thought the rejection meant the end of the road for my science career. So I was shocked when, not long after the email, Professor Mary Devon, who was running the programme, invited me to observe the work being done in her lab. I jumped at the chance, and a few weeks later I was equally shocked—and overjoyed—when she invited me to talk with her about potential projects I could pursue in her lab. What she proposed didn’t seem as exciting as the original project I had applied to, but I was going to give it my all. I found myself working with a robotics professor on techniques for collecting data from the desert remotely. That project, which I could complete from my sofa instead of in the burning heat of the desert, not only survived the lockdown but worked where traditional methods didn’t. In the end, I had a new scientific interest to pursue. When I applied to graduate school, I found three programmes promising to allow me to follow my desired research direction. And I applied with the same anxious excitement as before. When I was rejected from one that had seemed like a perfect fit, it was undoubtedly difficult. But this time I had the perspective (视角) to keep it from sending me into panic. It helped that in the end I was accepted into one of the other programmes I was also excited about. Rather than setting plans in stone, I’ve learned that sometimes I need to take the opportunities that are offered, even if they don’t sound perfect at the time, and make the most of them. 1. How did the author feel upon seeing the email sender’s name? A. Anxious. B. Angry. C. Surprised. D. Settled. 2. After talking with Professor Devon, the author decided to ________. A. criticise the review process B. stay longer in the Sahara Desert C. apply to the original project again D. put his heart and soul into the lab work 3. According to the author, the project with the robotics professor was ________. A. demanding B. inspiring C. misleading D. amusing 4. What can we learn from this passage? A. An invitation is a reputation. B. An innovation is a resolution. C. A rejection can be a redirection. D. A reflection can be a restriction. 1.（2026·湖北省孝感高级中学高三上学期8月测试）Friends Yuri Williams and Rodney Smith Jr. spend the weeks leading up to Christmas crossing the country. They visit kids who are sick or disabled, arriving with plenty of toys. In past years, Williams has dressed as various superheroes, while Smith dresses up as a Christmas fairy. Though Williams has been spreading joy this way for years, the stimulus came from a joyless place. In 2009, he lost his mother to cancer and fell into a five-year depression. But he dug himself out by honoring his mother’s memory through charitable acts, including collecting gifts for children with special needs. Williams launched his nonprofit, A Future SuperHero and Friends, in 2018. His goal is to bring smiles to children with health challenges, including those fighting life-threatening conditions. “He was the first person to put a smile on AJ’s face,” says Katrina Morris about her son, who was diagnosed with cancer at the age of two. “I will never forget that day.” Williams and Smith start their gift-giving journey by driving through the 48 states before flying to Alaska and Hawaii. Along the way, they stock up on toys, funded by donations through the Future SuperHero website. People nominate families for the pair to visit by filling out an online form, explaining why the family deserves a visit. But they often dip into Williams’s own savings as well. Even more important than the gifts they bring, Williams and Smith spend time with the people who need it most — and that’s not just the children. “The parents seem more excited than the kids sometimes,” Williams told KTVQ News after a visit to Billings, Montana, last year. The pair say they want to make sure families facing tough battles never feel alone. It’s what keeps them going, even when they barely get any sleep in the process. “Every day, I get to wake up and do what I love,” Smith says. “I can’t go wrong with that.” “I don’t look to get paid to do this,” Williams adds. “It’s just healing for me for losing my mother, just keeping her name alive by doing this.” 1．What motivated Willams to start his charitable work? A．The need of relieving his depression. B．The wish to inspire others to volunteer. C．The desire for honoring his late mother. D．The hope of gaining support for his nonprofit. 2．What does the underlined word “nominate” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A．Favour. B．Invite. C．Register. D．Recommend. 3．Why do Williams and Smith spend time with families during visits? A．To deliver gifts to children. B．To make the families feel cared for. C．To understand the families’ struggles. D．To raise money for their organization. 4．How does Williams feel about his work? A．It is exhausting and brings him money. B．It is challenging and makes him social. C．It is comforting and gives him purpose. D．It is enjoyable and wins him friendship. 2.（2026·云南三校高三备考实用性8月联考卷（二））For Cai Guoqiang, every time feels like the first time. His nerves still hurt, his mind still races before he lights the fuse (引线) and the gunpowder explodes. It’s an intensity that hasn’t lessened even after 40 years. That’s how long Cai’s been making art through the use of explosives. “The anxiety is part of my motivation to create artwork,” Cai says. And there’s high demand for Cai’s art, famous worldwide. In China, he led visual and special effects for the 2008 Summer and 2022 Winter Olympics’ ceremonies. He spent eight years in Japan as a young artist and now lives in New York. Each time he lights a match, he briefly returns to his childhood — when he first played with firecrackers innocently. It helped that his hometown, Quanzhou City, was one that was known for its collection of fireworks sellers. But that didn’t mean he immediately grasped their artistic potential. First, he tried firing them headlong into blank canvases, which “wasn’t very successful because the whole canvas would burn completely through,” says Cai. But art was in his DNA．His father was a small-time poet and brush-and-ink calligrapher; and his mother, though not an artist herself, was a temple-going and incense-burning woman whose spiritual beliefs influenced her son. In his youth, Cai says, he was “unconsciously exposed to the ties between fireworks and the fates of humans, from the Chinese practice of setting off firecrackers at a birth, a death and during a wedding.” He felt something in the mix of matter and energy — maybe a comparison between mind and matter, humans and the universe — in the hot center of an explosion. Soon, he found he could take gunpowder out of firecrackers and light it directly on canvas, making mysterious, messy black-and-brown pictures of space, nature and time. The explosive aspect of the gunpowder took on a symbolic meaning for Cai. “As a person, it’s fine to be careful and cautious, but as an artist, you may need to break free and let yourself go a little,” says the artist. 1．What’s Cai’s feeling after having worked as an explosives artist for decades? A．Proud and satisfied. B．Fresh and motivated. C．Anxious and insecure. D．Exhausted and indifferent. 2．What does the underlined word “headlong” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A．Delicately. B．Slowly. C．Carelessly. D．Skilfully. 3．Which of the following factors hasn’t contributed to Cai’s artistic creations? A．The upbringing of his father, who was also an artist. B．The high demand for innovative artists around the world. C．The influence of his temple-going and incense-burning mother. D．The fact that he grew up in a place famous for firecrackers. 4．What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A．People should take their careers seriously. B．There are lots of things worth celebrating in one’s life. C．Our time on earth is limited and we should treasure it. D．Artists should free their mind to have innovation. （最新模拟试题演练） 1.（2026·江苏省南通市高三上学期9月调研测试） Twenty-two years ago, I went to London on a special mission — talking about establishing a museum to celebrate the founder of genetics, Gregor Mendel. Suddenly, someone came in and told me I had won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine jointly with Tim and Leland Hartwell, for our work on how cells control their division. Suddenly you become a public character being asked to do all sorts of things: to give lectures, to sit on committees and reviews you are not always well qualified to be on. A big problem is that people think you have something sensible to say about nearly everything. Over time, a potential red flag is that you start to believe that perhaps you do know about nearly everything. This is a disease I’ve called “Nobelitis”, which I sincerely hope I have managed to avoid. Within a year of getting the prize, I was offered and accepted the Presidency of Rockefeller University in New York. The Royal Society, the UK’s national academy of sciences, elected me president. The society traditionally elects accomplished researchers, which greatly helps it to be taken seriously when it gives scientific advice. Meanwhile, I became director of the Francis Crick Institute. What about my research after the prize? Doing high-quality science depends on high-quality researchers. When you are young and are starting a new field, it’s not difficult to attract very good research colleagues because people like working with new researchers in exciting areas, but as you get older that can become more difficult. Having a Nobel Prize does help. I’ve just started three excellent new PhD students. It’s a privilege for me to be able to pursue curiosity-driven research at this late stage of my career. Anyway, one thing I am glad to say that the Nobel Prize did not influence was peer review from my fellow scientists, responsible for assessing the suitability of my own research for publication, and my funding applications. My rejection rates have remained essentially the same before and after the prize. And that, of course, is exactly how it should be. 1．What was the author’s original aim of visiting London 22 years ago? A．To honor a pioneer in science. B．To attend Nobel Prize ceremony. C．To promote the author’s work on cells. D．To show gratitude to the author’s colleagues. 2．Which of the following can best explain “Nobelitis”? A．A burning desire to win a Nobel Prize. B．Being addicted to being a public character. C．A Nobel Prize winner acting as a “Mr. Know-all”. D．Being overconfident in a particular research field. 3．What do paragraph 3 and 4 mainly talk about? A．How the author contributed to various institutes. B．How the author balanced leadership and research. C．How the Nobel Prize impacted the author’s career. D．How the Nobel Prize enhanced the author’s reputation. 4．What does the author take comfort in after winning the Nobel Prize? A．The ever-increasing public recognition. B．The objective and fair evaluation from peers. C．The closer cooperation with fellow scientists. D．The easier accessibility of funding opportunities. 2.（2026·山东省枣庄市第八中学高三上学期第零次诊断测试） Lately, I have found myself rarely paying close attention to trends, watching fashion shows or following fashion influencers. I love looking at everyone’s unique style, and believe that fashion of personal taste is one of the best ways to express ourselves. The findings astonish me. My attitude and behavior have undergone a transformation that I once wanted but lacked the courage to pursue without me realizing. The media we consume, and the people we’re around affect how we dress and express ourselves. When I was in high school, I was afraid to wear the clothes I wanted. When I wore an item that seemed normal for a girl like me but was considered strange by my classmates—a bright purple dress—people laughed at me in the hall. I remember putting it into the back of my closet (衣柜) and never wearing it again. Now, I don’t care as much; I like trying almost all kinds of style. Actually it’s because I’m in college now, and college students have more important things to pay attention to than what someone else wears, but I finally feel I can dress in the way I want and express myself. I take fashion inspiration from my favorite colors and cartoons. The self-expression brings me more reflection and I’m not going to change myself for anyone. Everyone can follow their heart and develop their own style, and they should be able to do so freely. When I go outside wearing what I like to wear, I feel confident and more like myself. I no longer feel like I’m wearing clothes that will make me blend in with (协调) the crowd. Blending in with the crowd that way is meaningless. 1．Why is the author surprised? A．She changes unknowingly.

As a graduate of Appalachian State University in Documentary and Appalachian Studies, Barber focuses on capturing (拍摄) rural life in his beloved mountains. However, Helene presented an unexpected challenge. “The photos of destruction are endless, and are going to continue to be endless,” he said. Barber drove over 1,000 miles in the region over three days last week, to Brevard and beyond, finding the shots, talking with rescue workers and residents. But as a local, Barber brought a different focus than many journalists and photographers covering the storm’s destruction and the beginnings of recovery. “I started to feel the outsider in me becomes the insider,” he says. His copious knowledge of the conditions in the area proved crucial. When an editor suggested staying in an Asheville hotel, Barber knew it was impossible. Leaving his own flooding basement, he found no gas or food, realizing the situation was far worse than editors understood. At a Marion gas station, he photographed a man whose house was half-destroyed, a pure introduction to the degree of personal loss. Barber’s approach prioritized connection over quick disaster shots. “I’m trying to experience and listen,” he says, valuing the sense of place and people. While documenting shocking geological changes, he also sought resilience (韧性) and hope among the disaster. He met tired and hungry residents maintaining positive attitudes, like a Bat Cave-born volunteer firefighter in Chimney Rock who insisted, “We’ll be all right… Things will be a little different but we’ll still be here.” As national attention shifts, Barber will remain focused on Appalachia. His rapid response during Helene “confirmed my investment in staying rooted in place,” he says, ensuring his choice to live in Morganton over larger art centres. “I do feel like my work and my instruction are worthwhile. I just want to do my people good.” 1．What prepared Barber to cover Hurricane Helene? A．His studies in big cities. B．His local life experience. C．Special disaster training. D．Work with national media. 2．What does the underlined word “copious” in paragraph 3 mean? A．Limited. B．Enormous. C．Advanced. D．Further. 3．What makes Barber’s photos different from others? A．Centering on destruction. B．Ignoring people’s suffering. C．Focusing on people’s spirits. D．Avoiding geological change. 4．What does Barber’s story show? A．Social responsibilities matter. B．Disaster shots define impact. C．Big cities offer better growth. D．Teamwork is crucial in media. 4.（2026·安徽省六校教育研究会高三上学期9月月考） Walking into Dryden Theater, I felt as if I had stepped into a time machine — the traditional, old-timey box office, tons of old-style movie posters on the walls. As everyone took their seats, an older gentleman who looked like he walked straight out of the 1920s spoke to all of the attendees. Normally, Philip Carli is pianist playing the live accompaniment for the films. However, The Barker has music synchronized (同步) with the film, so he was tasked with giving the audience a historical background of the film. Carli’s wide breadth of knowledge about the background of the film made it feel as if I was transported to the time and place of The Barker before the start of the film. Earlier, films were played with live accompaniment, contained intertitles to add context, and some added sound bites. With the invention of synchronized sound, films slowly added talking dialogue in scenes occasionally. The Barker, released in 1928, is considered a “part-talkie”. The film, which explores the lives of workers, is the first appearance of all of the main cast in a talking role. It was revolutionary for the technology but also for the actors. My film experience consists of mostly talkies (有声电影), so watching The Barker, I felt like I witnessed something brand new. The experience was unlike any movie-going experience I have ever had. Since viewing films has gradually been reduced to streaming services, especially since the pandemic, this has increased the accessibility of film but we are stripped of a social experience to watch a movie — one that attending The Barker reminded me of. This allowed us to return to the movie-going adventure. Finally, everyone wanted big screens and surround sound rather than the tiny screens in bedrooms. More importantly, we were all able to interact with a piece of content alongside other people. The experience brought back the pastime of going to the cinema — one that I think we should continue to enjoy. I say we take a page out of the 1920s playbook and return back to the cinema. 1．Who is Philip Carli? A．A famous pianist in the film. B．A person introducing the music. C．A staff member in a box office. D．A musician playing music live. 2．What can we know about The Barker? A．Its main cast had dialogues. B．It had an old-style movie poster. C．It was a talkie about workers. D．It attracted quantities of audience. 3．What does the underlined word “stripped” probably mean in paragraph 5? A．Disapproved. B．Dispossessed. C．Transferred. D．Transformed. 4．What’s the purpose of this passage? A．To introduce a brand new film. B．To compare silent films and sound films. C．To appeal for seeing films in the cinema. D．To show the author’s preference for films. 5.（2026·安徽省华师联盟高三上学期9月开学联考）I’ve always been an adventurer. As a kid in Hackney, London, I wandered around the streets. In my 20s, I hiked through the Americas. After returning to Liverpool and working as a photographer, I settled down. However, when my relationship ended, I was heartbroken but decided to return to my adventurous roots. In 2016, I began a 1,000-mile trip by myself through Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, and Kyrgyzstan, mostly on foot. Travelling slowly allowed me to connect with people from all walks of life. In the UK, I struggled to make such connections, but abroad, my foreignness drew people to me. For my next adventure — a five-month walk across the UK — I decided to bring a donkey (驴) to make myself more approachable. I found a donkey named Martin from a local farm. After seven months of training, we set off on a 700-mile journey from Cape Wrath in the Highlands to Dorset. The journey was incredibly arduous. The west Highlands were hilly, full of bogs (沼泽地), and filled with biting insects. For the first six weeks, I felt out of my depth and often questioned whether I should continue. There were moments of depression, like when Martin refused to cross a bog, leaving me feeling both angry and guilty. However, I kept going, walking through paths, rivers, and roads. People everywhere were happy to see us, offering help, food, and places to camp. Martin became a conversation starter, making it easier for me to connect with others. This journey restored my faith in people and taught me that worrying doesn’t solve anything. I also learned that building trust with Martin made our journey more enjoyable. By putting Martin’s needs before my own, he became more affectionate, and we formed a strong bond. When I returned home, I bought Martin. He still lived on the farm, but I paid his keep and continued to visit him regularly. We’ve done more walks together since then. This journey not only allowed me to explore the UK but also led to a lifelong friendship with a donkey named Martin. 1．What made the author decide to return to an adventurous life? A．The desire to travel abroad. B．The conclusion of a relationship. C．The success of a previous hike. D．The influence of childhood adventures. 2．Why did the author bring a donkey on the UK walk? A．To carry his heavy luggage. B．To make the journey more interesting. C．To have a companion in the long journey. D．To make himself more accessible to others. 3．What does the underlined word “arduous” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A．Challenging. B．Fantastic. C．Boring. D．Leisurely. 4．What did the author realize about human-donkey relationships? A．Trust and prioritizing the donkey’s needs are essential. B．Donkeys require strict training to follow commands. C．Donkeys are more affectionate than other animals. D．Relationships with donkeys are harder to build than with humans. 6.（2026·安徽皖江名校联盟高三上学期9月开学考试） A New Hampshire woman has raised nearly $400,000 for an elderly disabled man named Donald, who has been battling to keep up with bills while caring for his wife. The story began when Jenelle encountered Donald at a pawn (典当) shop in Manchester, where he was unwillingly pawning jewelry to cover his bills. Donald shared with Jenelle the hardships he was facing; his rent had increased, and he was finding it increasingly difficult to make ends meet while caring for his wife. He feared they might lose their home and that his beloved wife could end up in a care facility due to their financial pressure. Deeply moved by his situation, Jenelle immediately took action. She gathered $1,300 from her own savings and contributions from friends and family to help the 90-year-old. A video she shared of Donald receiving the money quickly went viral, recording the moment he called Jenelle “an angel”. The outpouring of support didn’t stop there. Jenelle set up a GoFundMe page for Donald, and the response was overwhelming (无法抗拒的). Donations poured in from around the world, bringing the total to nearly $400,000. In an update, Jenelle shared the emotional moment she told Donald about the incredible generosity of strangers. “I told him that meant that everyone in the world was seeing this and stepping forward to donate,” she said. “Even before I told him the amount, he was already extremely emotional and couldn’t believe the kindness of strangers across the world.” Despite the outpouring of support, Donald remained humble, insisting he didn’t deserve it and that he was “just an ordinary man”. But as Jenelle explained to him, he’s much more than that to the countless people who have been touched by his story. Jenelle plans to keep the fundraiser open until she and Donald can meet with an attorney (代理人) to ensure the money is safely managed. This remarkable act of kindness shows how the generosity of strangers can transform lives, offering hope and security to those who need it most. 1．What’s Donald’s difficulty? A．Making ends meet.

For years, she’d struggled with her weight, which often left her feeling limited in her ability to fully enjoy life. She’d openly shared that her weight often left her feeling tired and sleepy, which affected her energy levels and overall mood. This, together with seeing her parents and her son Wolf live healthy lives, inspired her to lose weight. As a mother, she wanted to show Wolf the importance of self-love and taking care of one’s body. Isabella’s remarkable weight loss in 2025 was driven by her commitment to making sustainable and mindful dietary changes. She included whole foods into her meals, such as fresh fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains, and focused on meals rich in fiber and protein, which helped limit her appetite and prevent overeating. She reduced her consumption of processed foods and sugary drinks, opting instead for whole, nutrient-dense options. She also started using smaller plates and bowls to help avoid overeating. Additionally, drinking plenty of water throughout the day and maintaining a consistent sleep schedule supported her overall health. Meanwhile, Isabella kept working out regularly. Aside from jogging, running and swimming, Isabella also included strength training into her fitness routine to build lean muscle mass. She focused on exercises like squats, deadlifts, and resistance band workouts to target different muscle groups. Strength training has been shown to increase resting metabolic (代谢的) rate, meaning that even at rest, the body burns more calories. Additionally, Isabella incorporated stress management techniques into her daily routine. She practiced mindfulness meditation (冥想) and deep-breathing exercises to stay calm and focused. These practices not only helped her manage stress but also improved her mental clarity and emotional resilience (适应性). Isabella’s journey taught her the value of balance and consistency. She learned sustainable weight loss isn’t about perfection but about making small, meaningful changes over time. By focusing on both her physical and mental well-being, Isabella was able to create a lifestyle that supported her goals and brought her joy. 1．What is a reason for driving Isabella to lose weight? A．Her parents’ advice. B．Her family’s healthy lives. C．Her son’s love. D．Her medical report. 2．What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A．A well-structured fitness routine. B．A strong support group. C．Isabella’s lifestyle adjustments. D．The impact of mental health. 3．What can we infer about Isabella’s exercise routine? A．It involved varied training. B．It was impossible to follow. C．It ignored strength workouts. D．It was about quick fixes. 4．What key lesson did Isabella learn from her weight loss experience? A．The necessity of extreme diets. B．The meaning of training tools.

D．The value of gradual changes. 1.（2026·安徽省江淮十校高三上学期8月第一次联考）Maria Rodriguez, our school cafeteria server for ten years, always greeted us with a warm smile while preparing meals. One Monday, however, I noticed her quietly wiping tears in the corner of the staff room. My first thought was that she might be facing personal hardships — until I saw her gently holding a framed certificate and whispering, “I did it... finally.” Her tears, I soon realized, were of overwhelming pride. At 42, Maria had just earned her high school diploma. Struggling with hearing loss since childhood, Maria dropped out at 15 to support her sick parents. She worked multiple low-income jobs until securing stable work in our school cafeteria. Last year, when the school introduced a new digital ordering system, Maria’s supervisor gently explained that operating it required basic computer literacy — which in turn required a high school credential. “We’ll keep your position,” he said, “but to continue long-term, you’ll need to complete your diploma within two years.” Maria enrolled in night classes at a local adult education center. Balancing her cafeteria shifts, parenting two teenagers, and studying meant surviving on 4-5 hours of sleep nightly. She tracked her progress uniquely: every passed practice test earned a gold star on her kitchen calendar. “Those stars shouted ‘Keep going!’ on exhausting days,” she laughed. Her biology teacher remarked, “Maria often stayed after class to review materials — her determination was extraordinary.” When Maria received her diploma last month, she called it “a key unlocking doors I thought were sealed forever.” But for her, graduation isn’t an endpoint — it’s a launchpad. She now enrolled in online business courses. “My next goal is to manage a food-service team,” she declared. “This is just the beginning.” 4．Why was Maria crying in the staff room? A．She felt exhausted from overwork. B．She recalled her family difficulties. C．Her supervisor criticized her performance. D．She had achieved an important milestone. 5．What did the school require Maria to do to keep her job? A．Master the digital system within a nonth. B．Complete her high school education. C．Train another staff member. D．Switch to part-time work. 6．How did Maria motivate herself during tough times? A．By focusing on small symbols of progress. B．By reducing her workload significantly. C．By seeking financial support from the school. D．By prioritizing sleep over studying. 7．What can we learn from Maria’s story? A．Nothing can stop a willing heart. B．The early bird catches the worm. C．Always prepare for a rainy day. D．Grasp all, lose all. 2.（2025·湖南省怀化市高三上学期开学）I was born and raised on the Gold Coast by a single parent, my incredible mother, Christine. Mum always placed a lot of emphasis on higher education and I was educated from a young age to enter university. Unfortunately for Mum, the thing that I had a special love for was cooking — not what she would have chosen for me. Knowing how hard restaurant work is, she wasn’t pleased with my idea. To keep my options open, I decided to apply for university but also cook throughout my studies with a part-time job. However, it wasn’t long before I found I was stuck in studying something not appealing to me, and this part-time work became my thing. I made the tough decision to quit my university major after graduation, switching to pursue a career in the kitchen. Although she wasn’t favorable with my choice, Mum has since been an incredible supporter. Soon, I fell back into old patterns working in kitchens but feeling unfulfilled. Then, social media changed everything. As an early user, I poured my creativity into the platform, discovering a talent for photography and storytelling. Soon, my audience grew to 200,000 followers. Recognizing the opportunity, I quit my job to pursue travel photography and social media full-time. I traveled 50 trips a year at my peak while expanding into consulting, public speaking, and project management. I created social media content, photography and campaign reports. As a pioneer in Australia’s influencer market, my services became highly sought-after. I established a travel account, teaching others to build careers in the industry, and launched an online photography course for beginners. Next year, I’ll lead my first photography tour in Zimbabwe, my partner’s homeland, combining my passions with conservation and community support. My journey has been challenging yet deeply fulfilling. Making money is no longer the main driver — instead, I seek meaningful experiences and opportunities to inspire others. What began as a small idea has grown into a life of adventure, creativity and purpose. 24．Why did the author quit his university major after graduation? A．He was often discouraged by his mother.

I remembered standing in line at the Social Security Office with my mother. When we got to the front of the line, my mother looked at the form and started to ask the lady a question, “Excuse me, can I...” The lady cut her off and said, “Madam, take the form to the desk, fill it out, and come back. Next!” My mother and I walked to the desk, and she looked at the form. Tears started to well up in her eyes, and I asked, “Mom, what’s wrong?” “Boy, I can’t read or write,” she answered. Then she hugged me and said, “You’ll never know what it’s like to be ignorant.” At that time, as a child, I didn’t know much about what she meant. All I know was I should do something to assist her. Because my parents were illiterate (不识字的), they wanted to encourage my reading. They decided to buy me books with pretty pictures. When I was ten years old, I started to gather up a big collection of books. I was ready for the world with reading. However, because of a tight budget, there was little chance that I would go to college or get a scholarship. So I had to join the army. During my service, I would hear the army lawyers talk and noticed how someone could be found guilty or not guilty, with just a turn of a phrase. I started thinking, “When I get out of the army, I’m going to become a lawyer!” I started attending night school. For seven years, I showed up at class whatever the situation. And two years after I retired from the army, I earned my bachelor’s degree. Although I didn’t become a lawyer, the journey did take me to a place where I could fight against ignorance in the classroom. 4．How did the author’s mother feel when asked to fill in the form?

D．in geography in Louisiana, and about to begin law school. I tried my best to study for the entrance exam for law school, and it paid off. Then, Hurricane Katrina made landfall. My law school closed. I returned to the lab, where I had been a graduate student, now as a research associate. I felt aimless and lost my sense of identity. Later, during routine field mapping, a woman walked over, looked at my map, and pointed out that it was incomplete — I was missing the underlying human factors, which I could never have known as an outsider. Although I could map vegetation overgrowth, for example, I had missed how that visible process connected with the community’s varied uses of different areas as meeting spots, recreation areas, and more. That moment redrew my map, literally and for the rest of my career. Law school finally reopened, offering me a chance to get back on my original track. But the chance encounter stayed with me. I couldn’t deny my new interest: studying how people can be environmental sensors and developing systems using this knowledge. The idea of abandoning my long-held plans scared me. I cried in sadness. Then, I chose the unknown. I became a research assistant professor. For several years I switched between teaching-focused and research-focused appointments, which made it difficult to build drive. But I did not look back. Now, I’m an associate professor, doing work I love. I start my classes by saying science is a human endeavor (努力), with the unique human parts making us strongerif we let them. My students in turn often share their stories of plans changing because of illnesses, care-giving, injuries, and more. We smile, hug, and carry on. 4．How did Hurricane Katrina affect the author? A．It destroyed his research lab. B．It delayed his law school plan. C．It forced him to leave Louisiana.

D．Adaptable and curious. 5.（2026·福建省福州市福州第一中学高三上学期开学）We just got back from a week-long trip through New Mexico where we traveled through desert landscapes, hiked up mountains, and walked through dry creek beds. We experienced nature and wildlife that was vastly distinct from what I’ve seen before. We’ve lived in Atlanta for 25 years so it was quite a change from our “city in a forest”. My husband and I were joined by our adult son who now lives in San Diego and is a little more familiar with the west. We like to visit national parks and explore interesting ecosystems. In New Mexico, everything seemed striking and amazing. Starting in Albuquerque, we took a tram up the Sandia Peak in the Sandia Mountains, where we had fantastic views as we watched parasailers float off into the unending sky. We then drove to Abiquiu, the town where artist Georgia O’Keeffe was so inspired. We stayed at a lovely home pretty much in the middle of nowhere. First, we noticed the breathtaking setting. Then we noticed the ants: billions of tiny ants were marching all over the outside of the property. They were carrying off a few of the native bees that had fallen to the ground near the house. Once we were awakened in the middle of the night by howling that was both strange and musical. We were told about the coyotes (郊狼) that share the area, so we weren’t surprised when we woke up the next morning to some pretty impressive paw prints right outside the back door. On our final morning hike before heading south in the state, we even spotted a large snake curled up on the path, enjoying the warm morning sun. We stayed far out of its way but certainly watched our steps a little more carefully. We talked about sustainability throughout the trip. In the past several decades, there’s been so much noticeable change in our travel adventures. That will be great to keep the skies cleaner and save energy. And the coyotes and snakes can be left to dance and enjoy in peace. 4．What can be inferred about the family’s travel preferences? A．They prefer city life over nature. B．They love places with artistic heritage. C．They like to visit familiar places. D．They seek diverse natural settings. 5．What do the wildlife encounters suggest about the local environment?

A．Exploring New Mexico’s Wild Beauty. B．Wildlife Encounters in New Mexico. C．A Family Trip to Atlanta. D．The Challenges of Desert Travel. 6.（2026·福建省厦门双十中学高三上学期开学）About 15 years ago, I was working at a sewing (缝纫) machine when I lost focus and put the needle straight through my left middle finger — the wound never quite recovered. It’s the kind of warning teachers tell new sewists, but it also creates a metaphor for a feeling that maybe familiar to the 7.7 million people who enjoy sewing as a hobby: the effect of sewing lives on under our skin. It’s a theme that runs through historian Barbara Burman’s book exploring the cultural history of sewing: The Point of the Needle: Why Sewing Matters. For Barbara, her own interest in sewing is something that can be traced back through her life. “I grew up in a poor household, and I had two very practical parents,” she recalls. “My mother actually taught sewing, dressmaking, and soft tailoring, so I was surrounded by people making things and talking about tools. My interest in sewing comes from an interest in the history of ordinary people, particularly women’s lives. I feel that it’s a kind of untold story. We’re so used to it that we don’t think about it. We put our clothes on, and there we are. But I wanted to look at what sewing actually means at an individual level, as well as a more global level.” We notice the invention of electricity and countless other creations — but sewing, despite the fact that we couldn’t go about our daily lives without it, is often overlooked. When I ask Barbara why the story of sewing is largely untold, she has some insight. “Mostly because it’s connected so thoroughly with women, and women have always been, as it were, ‘second rate’,”  she explains. “We’ve also lived with this quite false separation between working with our brains and working with our hands. So manual work is thought of as secondary to head work. But, in fact, our hands, and particularly our sense of touch, give us such a huge amount of information in the world. Countless studies have confirmed how beneficial crafts can be for our mental health and well-being.” 4．What does the underlined part in paragraph 1 imply? A．Sewing may cause physical injury to sewists. B．Sewing is rooted in people’s life for a long time. C．Sewing holds a deep meaning for sewing lovers. D．Sewing is popular with a large number of people. 5．What’s mainly talked about in paragraph 2? A．How Barbara’s parents taught her to sew. B．What sewing meant to the general public. C．How Barbabra got interested in sewing. D．What family environment Barbara grew up in. 6．Why is the story of sewing ignored according to Barbara? A．Women and manual work are undervalued. B．People take no interest in the history of sewing. C．Sewing is not as important as other inventions. D．People prefer technology rather than hand-craft. 7．What does Barbara think of sewing? A．It is a dying craft. B．It is a secondary job. C．It is a dangerous practice. D．It is a rewarding skill. 7.（2026·河北省邯郸市高三上学期第一次调研监测）In 2010, Brad Montague learned that a West Tennessee homeless shelter had a desperate need for socks, an item often overlooked because used pairs are usually too worn to donate. Without fresh socks, unhoused people easily develop frostbite. Determined to find a solution, Montague took the problem to a dozen teens at the middle school in Henderson, Tennessee, where he volunteered. Together they invented “Socktober”, a simple call for the community to donate new socks every October. The first drive ended with more socks than Montague’s car could hold, and hand-delivering them while greeting recipients with “Happy Socktober!” became, he recalled, “an uplifting and emotional experience.” Montague posted the results on social media. In 2013, he reinforced (推广) the idea with a “Kid President” web episode — written and directed by Montague — and urged viewers to start local sock drives. The clip (片段) went viral, and participation exploded. Almost fifteen years later, Socktober is held annually in every U.S. state and in Canada, Australia, and India. Montague estimates “millions” of new pairs have been donated, stressing that “anyone can do it,” since socks are inexpensive, universally needed, and easy to share. To sustain the movement, Montague’s website targets nearby shelters and offers step-by-step tips for successful drives. Schools have become the engine of the tradition. Special-education teacher Rachel Taylor at Elmore Park Middle in Bartlett, Tennessee, has guided students to give roughly 10,000 pairs over the past eight years, calling Socktober “so much more than just socks — it’s love, generosity, and joy.” Eleven-year-old fifth-grader Anderson Brown agrees: “We should show that we care about everybody, no matter what.” Reflecting on the movement’s quiet power, Montague says, “There are challenges and darkness in the world, but there is also another story happening that involves the quiet work of thousands.” 4．What was the purpose of Socktober? A．To raise money for the local middle school. B．To collect new socks for the homeless. C．To organize a festive community event for October. D．To provide a project management experience for teens. 5．How did Socktober achieve massive growth after 2013? A．Montague organized national fundraising events. B．Montague placed an advertisement to promote it. C．Montague hired influencers to post about it. D．Montague produced an online video to spread it. 6．What value does Anderson Brown connect to Socktober? A．Promoting educational equality. B．Encouraging youth leadership. C．Showing care for everybody. D．Supporting local businesses. 7．Which of the following words can best describe Socktober? A．Far-reaching. B．Experimental. C．Resource-intensive. D．Disorganized. 8.（2026·云南师范大学附属中学高考适应性月考卷（二））In 2004 Khan offered to tutor his 12-year-old cousin Nadia, who was struggling with math. The tutoring classes continued over the phone, and soon he realized how essential personalized learning was for students. Eventually, he found himself tutoring around 15 cousins. However, scheduling challenges pushed him to adopt a more scalable approach. In 2006, Khan began recording tutorial videos and uploading them to YouTube, allowing learners to access the material at their own pace. As things started getting out of hand, he decided to create a website for them to practice problems, using Yahoo Doodle for visualizing calculations during phone sessions. The transition to internet videos occurred two years later when a friend questioned the scalability of Khan’s lessons. While he was initially skeptical about YouTube, Khan eventually tried making tutorial videos. To his surprise, the format gained popularity, with his cousins telling him that they preferred the online explanations more. The demand grew, reaching a broader audience, and by 2008, he was teaching tens of thousands of learners each month. Khan started recording his educational videos in a makeshift “studio” at his home, specifically in a closet. The setup consisted of a $900 desktop from Best Buy, a $200 microphone, a pen tablet from Amazon, and screen capture software. In this humble space, Khan drew on an art program on his computer while providing explanations into the microphone. Around 2009, Khan made the decision to leave his job to dedicate himself full-time to building the Khan Academy. In September 2010, Khan Academy secured substantial grants, including $2 million from Google and $1.5 million from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. This influx (流入) of funds marked the beginning of organizational expansion. In October 2010, the growing team moved into their first official office space, solidifying the foundation for Khan Academy’s continued growth. Today, be it for school or college, Khan Academy has become one of the most popular platforms that students turn to for getting their doubts cleared. 24．Why did Khan begin recording tutorial videos in 2006?

Ages ago， right? The last time I used a phone box for its intended purpose was…2006. I was conducting auditions (试演) for my play in my tiny old shared house in London. Hoping to impress some talented actors to come and work for me for nothing, I spread some throws over the sofas and lit candles to make it seem a bit more ”young professional”. As I rushed outdoors to empty the wastepaper baskets, the door swung shut behind me. Suddenly I was locked outside. My mobile phone was inside, but luckily there was a telephone box across the street. So, I called Directory Assistance, got put through to our landlady’s managing agent, and had a spare key sent to me with just enough time to get back in before the actors arrived. As it has been many years since I last used one, I should hardly be surprised that then are no longer any public telephones near my house. The last one standing has just been turn into a “mini community library”: any passer-by can “borrow” a book from its shelves return it later, or replace it with another title from their own collection. For a few months after the “library” opened, I didn’t bother taking a look, as I had assumed that it would be stuffed full of cheese love stories. Then I noticed fork conducting spring cleans dropping boxes of voluminous books on various subjects there. And these books were free. This unbeatable price-point encouraged me to experiment with dozens of titles that I would never normally consider buying. And I’ve discovered some great books!

Although landscapes in the Midwest tend to be quite similar, either farm fields or highways, sometimes I find distinctive character in the hills or lakes. To make some of my landscape shots, I have traveled up to four hours away to shoot within a 10-minute time frame. I tend to travel with a few of my friends to state parks or to the countryside to go on adventures and take photos along the way. Being at the right place at the right time is decisive in any style of photography. I often leave early to seek the right destinations so I can set up early to avoid missing the moment I am attempting to photograph. I have missed plenty of beautiful sunsets/sunrises due to being on the spot only five minutes before the best moment. One time my friends and I drove three hours to Devil’s Lake, Wisconsin, to climb the purple quartz (石英) rock around the lake. After we found a crazy-looking road that hung over a bunch of rocks, we decided to photograph the scene at sunset. The position enabled us to look over the lake with the sunset in the background. We managed to leave this spot to climb higher because of the spare time until sunset. However, we did not mark the route (路线) so we ended up almost missing the sunset entirely. Once we found the place, it was stressful getting lights and cameras set up in the limited time. Still, looking back on the photos, they are some of my best shots though they could have been so much better if I would have been prepared and managed my time wisely. 4. How does the author deal with the challenge as a landscape photographer in the Midwest? A. By teaming up with other photographers. B. By shooting in the countryside or state parks. C. By studying the geographical conditions. D. By creating settings in the corn fields. 5. What is the key to successful landscape photography according to the author? A. Proper time management. B. Good shooting techniques. C. Adventurous spirit. D. Distinctive styles. 6. What can we infer from the author trip with friends to Devil’s Lake? A. They went crazy with the purple quartz rock. B. They felt stressed while waiting for the sunset. C. They reached the shooting spot later than expected. D. They had problems with their equipment. 7. How does the author find his photos taken at Devil’s Lake? A. Amusing. B. Satisfying. C. Encouraging. D. Comforting. 3.【2023年全国甲卷】Terri Bolton is a dab hand when it comes to DIY (do-it-yourself). Skilled at putting up shelves and piecing together furniture, she never pays someone else to do a job she can do herself. She credits these skills to her late grandfather and builder Derek Lloyd. From the age of six, Terri, now 26, accompanied Derek to work during her school holidays. A day’s work was rewarded with £5 in pocket money. She says: “I’m sure I wasn’t much of a help to start with, painting the rooms and putting down the flooring throughout the house. It took weeks and is was backbreaking work, but I know he was proud of my skills.” Terri, who now rents a house with friends in Wandsworth, South West London, says DIY also saves her from losing any deposit when a tenancy (租期) comes to an end. She adds: “I’ve moved house many times and I always like to personalise my room and put up pictures, so, it’s been useful to know how to cover up holes and repaint a r$
