专题04 阅读理解 记叙文 主题01 人与自我——健康 Passage 1 （24-25学年高一上·北京西城外国语·期中） Terry Fox never thought he’d live a remarkable life. He liked sports, but no one thought he was talented. During his first year in the university, he had a pain in his right knee, which was so bad that he couldn’t stand up. He went to the doctor for tests. They showed that he had cancer. He was going to lose his leg and be given an artificial one. Terry’s family and friends all gave him fantastic support. Terry said that he knew all those people really cared and helped him. He decided to face it with bravery. One night Terry was looking through an article about Dick Traum, who also had an artificial leg and had run in the New York Marathon. “If he can do it,” thought Terry, “I can, too. In fact, I’ll run across Canada and raise money for cancer research. It will be a Marathon of Hope!” For the next 16 months, Terry had special treatments for his cancer. And then he also began to run a little every day. Each day he ran a little farther. It is 5, 300 miles across Canada. Terry hoped to run thirty to forty miles a day so that it would take him six months. Most of all, he hoped to raise $1 million for cancer research. Because Terry had an artificial leg, running wasn’t easy or straightforward. He had to move by jumping on one foot twice and then take a long step with his real leg. Although it looked awkward, he still kept on running. His action made people join him as he ran: children, football stars, wheelchair athletes and even his brother, Darrell. As Terry ran, people waved and cheered. So much money was donated that the volunteers used large garbage bags so everyone could give. Then, outside Thunder Bay, Ontario, Terry felt a sharp pain in his chest. The pain was from cancer; this time in his lungs. He had to abandon the Marathon after 3, 339 miles. He told the people before he left, “I won’t give up. I just hope people will continue to give money.” And they did. Just under $25 million was given. Terry received numerous awards. At 22, he was the youngest Canadian to ever receive Canada’s highest award, the Companion of the Order of Canada. 1．What made Terry decide to run across Canada? A．His passion for Marathon.

Passage 2 （24-25学年高一上·北京人大附中·期中） A voice reaches us, crying out from the depths of a profound silence: “I am alive, I can think, and no one has the right to deny me these two realities...” The words were conveyed by a flicker (跳动) of the left eyelid. It came from a book, The Diving Bell and the Butterfly, by a former journalist, Jean-Dominique Bauby. He worked for journals like the Quotidien de Paris and Paris Match. For four years until December 1995 he was the very successful chief editor of Elle. Then the unthinkable happened. A cardiovascular (心血管的) accident sent him into a deep coma (昏迷). His brain remained undamaged, but its connection to his body left him with only the ability to blink his left eyelid. The poor man was diagnosed as suffering from the rare disease “Locked-in Syndrome”, unable to breathe or eat without assistance. In this inert body, however, his brain was working furiously, trying to make people understand what he was thinking. With the help of a specialized nurse, Claude Mendibil, he was able to write his book, using only his ability to blink at the most frequently used letters of the alphabet. He would spend most of the night editing his thoughts and composing sentences. It took him about 200,000 blinks to write his book of more than 100 pages. In it, Bauby describes his paralyzed existence as being trapped in an old-fashioned deep-sea diving bell while the “butterflies” of his mind flutter about freely. One would expect from this process formal factual report, but that is not the case. The book reads in flowing images that light up his predicament. The style is clear and fresh, and not without elegance, imagination and shafts of humor. He is also in search of past time, of memory itself, of the books he had read, the poems he had learnt by heart. He thinks of all the books he wanted to read and hadn’t gotten to. He has to listen to someone else reading them to him. He recalls meals, a horse race, his life and work as an editor, and his struggle in his hospital bed to twitch (抽搐) his nose when a fly lands on it. “From this hell comes a great message of life and hope,” said Antoine Audouard, a friend of Bauby’s and the book’s publisher. 5．We can learn from the article that Jean Dominique Bauby __________. A．die of a rare cardiovascular condition B．used to be a successful journalist and editor C．suffered brain damage due to Locked-in Syndrome D．continued to run magazines from his hospital bed 6．Based on information from the article, which of the following statements about The Diving Bell and the Butterfly is true? A．It is written in a formal and serious style. B．It focuses on Bauby’s memories from his time as an editor. C．It describes Bauby’s paralyzed existence with elegant and creative language. D．It gives readers an easy-to-understand introduction to Locked-in Syndrome. 7．Based on this article, which of the following words can be used to describe Bauby? A．Odd-tempered. B．Open-minded. C．Warm-hearted. D．Strong-willed. 主题02 人与社会——善行义举 Passage 1 （24-25学年高一上·北京八一学校·期中） When the COVID-19 pandemic forced the town in Manton, Michigan to shut down, Scott Chittle decided that the community needed a safe place to come together, and something to bring some joy during the boring winter months. And what is a better outdoor activity to get people outside in the cold than ice skating? In order to make his dream a reality, Chittle searched the Internet for videos on how to build an ice rink (溜冰场). He ordered a large 3,000 square foot tarp (防水帆布) online and bought some wood to create the walls. It took 12 fire trucks from the local fire department to get enough water to fill the plot. It took a little time as Chittle went door to door to convince people to come and see his creation, and soon Chittle’s backyard ice rink became a Manton hotspot. Parents joined in to help Chittle buy second-hand skates and hockey sticks for the neighborhood children. Soon enough, the children were skating and shooting. “We kept seeing more things donated. It was fantastic because the whole community just came together. It was amazing how everybody worked together because of Scott.” says neighbor Audrey Hooker. Skaters were welcome to come at any time. And each Saturday from 4 p.m. until 8 p.m., dozens of children and their parents gathered at the ice rink for skate parties. The children who had been confined to their homes for almost a year laughed and shouted with joy while skating around the rink. Parents gathered around feeling relief that their children had found a purpose again. It became a weekly event that neighbors could look forward to and it offered a place for people to see each other in a socially distanced way. But the kindness didn’t stop with Chittle. When the community heard how much money he used to make this project happen, everyone helped. A fundraiser brought in about $1,300, and letters sent to Chittle’s home stuffed with cash brought in an additional $1,500, covering all of the costs with money to spare. Companies began sending supplies for next year’s ice rink including outdoor lights, a snow sweeping machine and shovels. “This has been a community thing,” explains Chittle. “It’s not just me. I want to show the rest of the world what a little effort, the best intentions, and community can do not only for others but for the souls of all.” 8．Why did Chittle build a backyard ice rink? A．To organize skate parties. B．To show off his creativity. C．To get some money and outdoor supplies. D．To offer a safe social place and some fun. 9．What did the parents do to help with the ice rink? A．Filled the ice rink with water. B．Raised money for Chittle. C．Bought skates and hockey sticks. D．Convinced people to come. 10．What can we learn from the passage? A．The ice rink is only open to children on Saturday. B．The whole community contributed to the ice rink. C．Chittle made much money after building the ice rink. D．The parents felt relief because Chittle took care of their children. 11．Which of the following words can best describe Scott Chittle? A．Honest and friendly. B．Careful and confident. C．Humorous and polite. D．Kind and devoted. 主题01 人与社会——善行义举 Passage 1 （24-25学年高一上·北京育才学校·期中） It was a winter morning, just a couple of weeks before Christmas 2005. While most people were warming up their cars, Trevor, my husband, had to get up early to ride his bike four kilometers away from home to work. On arrival, he parked his bike outside the back door as he usually does. After putting in 10 hours of labor, he returned to find his bike gone. The bike, a black Kona 18 speed, was our only transport. Trevor used it to get to work, putting in 60-hour weeks to support his young family. And the bike was also used to get groceries (食品杂货), saving us from having to walk long distances from where we live. I was so sad that someone would steal our bike that I wrote to the newspaper and told them our story. Shortly after that, several people in our area offered to help. One wonderful stranger even bought a bike, then called my husband to pick it up. Once again my husband had a way to get to and from his job. It really is an honor that a complete stranger would go out of their way for someone they have never met before. People say that a smile can be passed from one person to another, but acts of kindness from strangers are even more so. This experience has had a spreading effect in our lives because it strengthened our faith in humanity (人性) as a whole. And it has influenced us to be more mindful of ways we, too, can share with others. No matter how big or how small, an act of kindness shows that someone cares. And the results can be everlasting. 12．Why was the bike so important to the couple? A．They used it for work and daily life. B．It was their only possession. C．It was a nice Kona 18 speed. D．The man’s job was bike racing. 13．What do the couple learn from their experience? A．Strangers are usually of little help. B．One should take care of their bike. C．News reports make people famous. D．An act of kindness can mean a lot. 14．How did people get to know the couple’s problem? A．From a stranger. B．From a newspaper. C．From TV news. D．From radio broadcasts. 15．From this story, we can see humanity is . A．commercial B．evil C．kind D．notorious Passage 2 （24-25学年高一上·北京通州区·期中） When Mary Moore began her high school in 1951, her mother told her, “Be sure and take a typing course so when this show business thing doesn’t work out, you’ll have something to rely on.” Mary responded in typical teenage fashion. From that moment on, “the very last thing I ever thought about doing was taking a typing course,” she recalls. The show business thing worked out, of course. In her career, Mary won many awards. Only recently, when she began to write Growing Up Again, did she regret ignoring (忽视) her mom, “I don’t know how to use a computer,” she admits. Unlike her 1995 autobiography, After All, her second book is less about life as an award winning actress and more about living with diabetes (糖尿病). All the money from the book is intended for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF), an organization she serves as international chairman. “I felt there was a need for a book like this,” she says. “I didn’t want to lecture, but I wanted other diabetics to know that things get better when we’re self-controlled and do our part in managing the disease.” But she hasn’t always practiced what she teaches. In her book, she describes that awful day almost 40 years ago, when she received two pieces of life changing news. First, she had lost the baby she was carrying, and second, tests showed that she had diabetes. In a childlike act, she left the hospital and treated herself to a box of doughnuts (甜甜圈). Years would pass before she realized she had to grow up — again — and take control of her diabetes, not let it control her. Only then did she kick her three-pack-a-day cigarette habit, overcome her addiction to alcohol and begin to follow a balanced (平衡的) diet. Although her disease has affected (影响) her eyesight and forced her to the sidelines of the dance floor, she refuses to fall into self-pity. “Everybody on earth can ask, why me?” about something or other,” she insists. “It doesn’t do any good. No one is immune (免疫的) to heartache, pain, and disappointments. Sometimes we can make things better by helping others. I’ve come to realize the importance of that as I’ve grown up this second time. I want to speak out and be as helpful as I can be.” 16．Why did Mary feel regretful? A．She didn’t take care of her mother B．She didn’t complete her high school. C．She didn’t follow her mother’s advice D．She didn’t realize her dream. 17．Mary’s second book is Manny about her________. A．service for an organization B．remembrance of her mother C．successful show business D．living with diabetes 18．When Mary received the life-changing news, she _________. A．behaved in an adult way B．lost control of herself C．began a balanced diet D．try to get a treatment 19．What can we know from the last paragraph? A．Mary wants to help others as much as possible. B．Mary decides to go back to the dance floor. C．Mary has got well again. D．Mary felt pity for herself. Passage 3 （24-25学年高一上·北京第十二中学·期中） Adom Appiah, is not your typical High School Junior. He has taken his volunteerism to a whole new level by starting a nonprofit charity organization called Ball4Good. Amazingly, this innovative organization was a result of Adom’s 7th grade school assignment. At age 12, his history teacher, Mrs. Kelsea Turner, at Spartanburg Day School, had challenged her students to dedicate 20% of their class time to a service project. She suggested that they research a community need and then work independently on finding a solution. Adom was inspired. Adom had great passion for playing sports as a soccer and basketball player. So, he naturally thought of combining sports and community support into an athletics-oriented service project. His idea was to invite athletes, leaders and celebrities to play ball games to raise money for local charities. Ball4Good held its first Celebrity Basketball Game in 2017. He used donations received on his 13th birthday as seed money for the event. It was a huge success and raised over $70,000 for 13 local charities. Then, Adom’s idea has transformed into a movement that is helping communities through various ways such as celebrity sport events, charity drives and fundraising. It donates raised funds to various causes affecting children, such as autism, homelessness, abuse and cancer. If all these accomplishments about Ball4Good were not enough, the teen has also authored three motivational children’s books to inspire students to change the world and bounce back from failures. Donations from book sales have supported several charitable causes. In addition, he won a National Award (Gloria Barron for Young Heroes, 2019) that comes with a $10,000 prize for his public service efforts. Having multiple projects has not slowed Adom down, as he is currently hosting his own show called Kids Changing the World on TV. “I try to have kids involved in every step of the way, so they can figure out how things work in the business and philanthropist world,” Adom said. He wants people to know that success starts with believing in yourself. His goal is to expand Ball4Good’s reach. He believes that by encouraging others to get involved, he’s multiplying the impact of Ball4Good. 20．What inspired Adom Appiah to start Ball4Good? A．Passion for sports and support from a community. B．A school assignment given by his history teacher. C．His experiences of being a soccer and basketball player. D．Athletes, leaders and celebrities he invited to play games. 21．According to the passage, we can learn that Ball4Good .

A．Kind and humorous. B．Generous and patient. C．Innovative and inspiring. D．Hardworking and reliable. 主题02 人与自我——个人经历 Passage 1 （24-25学年高一上·北京理工附中·期中） Jesse Owens, an African-American athlete, faced enormous pressure at the 1936 Olympic Games in Berlin. Despite racial mistreatment present at the Berlin Games, he made history by winning four Olympic gold medals in the 100m, 200m, 4×100m relay, and long jump events — an accomplishment no other Olympian had ever made. His remarkable achievement shattered (粉碎) Adolf Hitler’s plan to prove Aryan (雅利安人的) superiority. While Owens’ accomplishment was unique, he might have lost one of his gold medals had it not been for the advice from an unlikely ally (盟友) — German long jumper Luz Long. During the long jump event, Owens fouled (犯规) on his first two attempts and had only one final chance to qualify for the final. In an act of sportsmanship, Long walked up and suggested Owens change his mark and take off well before the foul line in order to avoid another foul. Following Long’s advice, Owens jumped a distance of 25 feet on his final try to qualify for the final. As it turned out, Owens bagged the gold, setting a new Olympic record(8.06m) while Long grabbed silver(7.87m). The German was the first to congratulate Owens and later walked around the stadium, arm-in-arm with Owens. They even posed together for pictures. It was a classy act of sportsmanship that stayed with Owens for the rest of his life. “It took a lot of courage for him to befriend me. You can melt down all the medals and cups I have and they wouldn’t be a plating on the 24-karat friendship I felt for Luz Long at that moment,” the American said. Owens and Long stayed connected even after the Games. Long lost his life during the Battle of St Pietro later in 1943, but he wrote a touching letter to Owens before he died. In the letter, he begged Owens to find his young son after the war and tell him about his father. Years have passed by but their bond still serves as a strong message, highlighting“ how things can be between men on this earth”, as written in the letter. 23．What challenge did Owens face at the 1936 Olympic Games? A．Having to prove Aryan superiority. B．Being subjected to ill-treatment. C．Strong competition from German athletes. D．Expectation of breaking records in four events. 24．What did Long do to help Owens during the long jump event? A．He fouled on his first two attempts. B．He provided technical advice for Owens. C．He cheered for Owens with great passion. D．He participated in the event alongside Owens. 25．Which of the following can best describe Long? A．Ambitious and professional. B．Smart and confident. C．Tough and devoted. D．Brave and generous. 26．What message does the story of Owens and Long convey? A．Equality is essential for the Olympic Games. B．Death is insignificant in the face of brotherhood. C．The power of friendship bridges racial divides. D．Common goals unite people from diverse backgrounds. Passage 2 An Art Class （24-25学年高一上·北京丰台区·期中） When Kelly was twelve, she started taking classes at Miss Grace’s School for Art. She didn’t like it at first: the “novice artists”—the kids who hadn’t really done art before—worked mostly with clay, and Kelly was a terrible sculptor. It wasn’t until her third year that Kelly found something she was really good at—charcoal drawing(素描). She loved watching the lines spread unevenly across the page as she moved the bits of charcoal back and forth over the paper. One day, Sophia, the best artist in her class, sat down and set up her easel(画架)next to Kelly. Kelly felt a sinking feeling in her stomach. She’d actually found an art form that she enjoyed—and was good at—and now Sophia was going to outshine her again? Kelly fought back tears when Miss Grace entered the room. “Hello class,” Miss Grace said, “We’ll continue to work on the project today.” What masterpiece would Sophia have come up with? Kelly looked at Sophia’s easel and she couldn’t believe it—it was a mess! For a brief moment, Kelly couldn’t actually believe her drawing was better than Sophia’s. But then she looked at Sophia, who was watching Kelly with an anxious expression. “I...I couldn’t decide what to do,” Sophia said. “And you’re so good. Sometimes I feel like my stuff is just so bad in comparison.” Kelly looked to see if Sophia was joking, but she seemed completely serious. Now Kelly was shocked. “I’m not talented...Miss Grace seldom praises me. You’re the best one in our class!” Sophia raised her eyebrows. “I might be a really good copier of the stuff, but I have no idea what to do when it comes to making up my own images. You are so great at making new things out of the old stuff. I’ve loved your works.” “I’ve loved yours, too,” Kelly said. “Well, definitely not this one,” Sophia said. Kelly smiled. “Maybe not right now. But if you move these lines up …” she said, pointing her finger on Sophia’s paper. Sophia was quiet for a moment. “That’s a great idea!” she said finally. Kelly smiled and turned back to her drawing, looking every so often at Sophia’s work to see that she was taking her advice, down to the last line. 27．When Kelly started classes at the art school, she ________. A．lacked confidence in drawing B．was not good at the course C．was often pushed by Miss Grace D．did not get along with the other kids 28．How did Kelly feel when Sophia sat beside her? A．Frustrated.

D．Hard work will eventually pay off. Passage 3 （24-25学年高一上·北京延庆区·期中） Bethany Meilani Hamilton was born on February 8, 1990, Kauai, Hawaii, where she grew up with two older brothers. Hamilton’s parents were both surfers and they started teaching Bethany how to surf at a young age, and she learned quickly with the support of her brothers. By age 8, Bethany was winning first place in surfing contests for her age group. Hamilton began competing more seriously at the age of nine, winning several more competitions in her age group. On October 31, 2003, while surfing with friends near Tunnels Beach, a 14-foot tiger shark attacked her. Bethany said, “My arm was hanging in the water, and it just came and bit me. It kind of pulled me back and forth. But I just held onto my board and then the shark let go.” The shark tore off Bethany’s left arm just below her shoulder.  Hamilton’s friends rushed her to the hospital. Bethany made it through several surgeries without infection (感染), and miraculously survived even though she had lost almost 60% of her blood. The doctor said that her athletic training helped her to survive the attack and blood loss. While she was healing, Bethany thought for a while that she might not surf again. She was concerned that it would be much harder to stand up on the board using only one hand and that her balance would be completely off. But with hard work and determination she returned to surfing. She says, “It’s hard for me to describe the joy I felt after I stood up and rode a wave in for the first time after the attack. I was greatly thankful and happy inside. The tiny bit of doubt that would sometimes tell me ‘you’ll never surf again’ was gone in one wave!” As for fear of another shark attack, Bethany says that sometimes her heart pounds when she sees a shadow (阴影) under the water. But she believes that faith provides hope and a future for those who feel down and defeated in their lives. Bethany’s popularity and hope for the future led her to partner with World Vision to create “Surfing for Children in Crisis”. Bethany hopes that her involvement in the campaign will help provide disabled children from around the world with care, support, and hope. 31．Who taught Bethany surfing when she was very young? A．Her brothers. B．Her parents. C．Her friend. D．Her doctor. 32．Why does Bethany’s heart pound when she sees a shadow under the water? A．She hopes she can swim down to see the shark. B．She is afraid another shark might attack her. C．She is worried she might get out of control. D．She thinks she can enjoy a bigger wave. 33．From the passage, we know Bethany is a ____________ person. A．careful B．proud C．brave D．clever 34．This passage probably comes from a (an) ________. A．guide B．novel C．magazine D．advertisement Passage 4 （24-25学年高一上·北京北师大附中·期中） I truly believe we all have a very special purpose in life, regardless of who we are or where we come from. After ten years of working for a major Wall Street bank, I wanted to do something challenging. So when I read a Merrill Lynch advertisement looking to hire more stockbrokers (股票经纪人), with great excitement, I made some phone calls and arranged to meet with one of its branch vice presidents. After this interview and interviews with twelve of his top stockbrokers, I eventually landed the job. The first few months was a struggle. I lived on very little commission (佣金). Night after night, I left the office weary and exhausted, ready to give up, yet somehow returning the next morning to start a new day. Eventually, all the hard work bore fruit. In less than four years, I became one of the top sales people at my branch and increased personal sales by 1,700 percent. The success earned me a six-figure income, promotion and numerous sales awards. Toward the end of my fourth year at Merrill Lynch, it hit me that something was missing. I thought long and hard about my goals. Then I remembered the time when I spoke to hundreds of people, while in college as a student leader, and years later, when I won a “Humorous Speech” championship. It dawned on me that every time I had a speaking engagement, I always came out of the experience with a wonderful, energetic, peaceful and magical feeling that was unmatched by anything else I did. I knew the extraordinary public-speaking skills I was blessed with could enable me to make a lasting difference and transform other people’s lives. Then I took another daring risk, gave up everything and left the investment business for a more satisfying career as a motivational speaker. The beginning of my speaking journey was surprisingly similar to what I had first experienced at Merrill Lynch. However, nothing in the world comes close to the satisfying feeling I get when thousands of people tell me how much I have made a difference in their lives by motivating them to take risks and be the best they could be. 35．Why did the author meet with a Merrill Lynch branch vice president? A．To employ more clerks. B．To arrange an interview. C．To get a position. D．To make an advertisement. 36．Which of the following best describes the author according to Paragraph 2? A．Patient and sincere. B．Optimistic and creative. C．Sensitive and successful. D．Tough and competent. 37．Which is the most suitable title for the text? A．Perseverance Brings Rewards B．Dare to Take Risks C．Reconsider Your Career Choice D．Speaking Makes a Satisfying Job / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 专题04 阅读理解 记叙文 主题01 人与自我——健康 Passage 1 （24-25学年高一上·北京西城外国语·期中） Terry Fox never thought he’d live a remarkable life. He liked sports, but no one thought he was talented. During his first year in the university, he had a pain in his right knee, which was so bad that he couldn’t stand up. He went to the doctor for tests. They showed that he had cancer. He was going to lose his leg and be given an artificial one. Terry’s family and friends all gave him fantastic support. Terry said that he knew all those people really cared and helped him. He decided to face it with bravery. One night Terry was looking through an article about Dick Traum, who also had an artificial leg and had run in the New York Marathon. “If he can do it,” thought Terry, “I can, too. In fact, I’ll run across Canada and raise money for cancer research. It will be a Marathon of Hope!” For the next 16 months, Terry had special treatments for his cancer. And then he also began to run a little every day. Each day he ran a little farther. It is 5, 300 miles across Canada. Terry hoped to run thirty to forty miles a day so that it would take him six months. Most of all, he hoped to raise $1 million for cancer research. Because Terry had an artificial leg, running wasn’t easy or straightforward. He had to move by jumping on one foot twice and then take a long step with his real leg. Although it looked awkward, he still kept on running. His action made people join him as he ran: children, football stars, wheelchair athletes and even his brother, Darrell. As Terry ran, people waved and cheered. So much money was donated that the volunteers used large garbage bags so everyone could give. Then, outside Thunder Bay, Ontario, Terry felt a sharp pain in his chest. The pain was from cancer; this time in his lungs. He had to abandon the Marathon after 3, 339 miles. He told the people before he left, “I won’t give up. I just hope people will continue to give money.” And they did. Just under $25 million was given. Terry received numerous awards. At 22, he was the youngest Canadian to ever receive Canada’s highest award, the Companion of the Order of Canada. 1．What made Terry decide to run across Canada? A．His passion for Marathon. B．A desire to live a normal life. C．The support of his family and friends. D．The exciting experience of Dick Traum. 2．People joined him when he ran mainly because A．they were moved by the scene of Terry’s running B．they served a as volunteers in the marathon C．they considered Terry as a great hero D．they loved running very much 3．Why did he finally stop the marathon? A．He collected enough money for the donation. B．His family and friends persuaded him to abandon it. C．He got great pain in his body because of the cancer. D．Running with the artificial leg wasn’t straightforward. 4．Which of the following words can best describe Terry? A．Generous. B．Independent. C．Determined. D．Creative. 【答案】1．D 2．A 3．C 4．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述的是Terry Fox的故事。他从未想过他会过上非同寻常的生活。虽然他喜欢运动，但没有人认为他有天赋。然而，Terry的特殊之处在于他的决心。在患上癌症并装上假肢后，他决定面对疾病。他被认为是他人生各个领域的赢家。 1．推理判断题。根据第三段中“One night Terry was looking through an article about Dick Traum, who also had an artificial leg and had run in the New York Marathon. “If he can do it,” thought Terry, “I can, too. In fact, I’ll run across Canada and raise money for cancer research. It will be a Marathon of Hope!”(有一天晚上，Terry在阅读一篇关于Dick Traum的文章，他也是一个假肢患者，曾参加过纽约马拉松比赛。Terry想：“如果他能做到，我也能做到。事实上，我要跑遍加拿大，为癌症研究筹款。这将是一场希望的马拉松！”)”可知，Terry在阅读了一篇关于Dick Traum的文章后，决定也要像Dick Traum一样横穿加拿大并为癌症研究筹集资金。Dick Traum也有一条假肢，并且参加过纽约马拉松。因此，是Dick Traum的激动人心的经历激发了Terry的决定。故选D。 2．推理判断题。根据第五段中“Although it looked awkward, he still kept on running. His action made people join him as he. ran: children, football stars, wheelchair athletes and even his brother, Darrell. As Terry ran, people waved and cheered. So much money was donated that the volunteers used large garbage bags so everyone could give.(虽然看起来很尴尬，但他还是继续跑。他的行动使人们和他一样加入他的行列。孩子、足球明星、轮椅运动员，甚至还有他的兄弟Darrell。Terry跑的时候，人们挥手欢呼。捐款如此之多，以至于志愿者们使用了大垃圾袋，这样每个人都可以捐款。)”可知，Terry用一条假肢跑步看起来很奇怪，但他仍然坚持跑。他的行动感动了人们，让他们加入他一起跑，包括孩子、足球明星、轮椅运动员甚至他的兄弟Darrell。因此，人们加入他主要是被Terry跑步的场景所感动。故选A。 3．细节理解题。根据第六段中“Then, outside Thunder Bay, Ontario, Terry felt a sharp pain in his chest. The pain was from cancer; this time in his lungs. He had to abandon the Marathon after3.339 miles.( 然后，在安大略省的桑德贝城外，Terry感到胸口一阵剧痛。疼痛来自癌症；这次是在他的肺部。跑完3339英里后，他不得不放弃马拉松比赛。)”可知，Terry在安大略省桑德贝市外面感到胸部剧痛，这是因为他肺部的癌症导致的。因此，他不得不在跑了3339英里后放弃了马拉松。所以，他最终停止马拉松是因为癌症导致的身体剧痛。故选C。 4．推理判断题。通读全文，Terry在得知自己患有癌症并需要截肢后，决定勇敢地面对它，并决定横穿加拿大为癌症研究筹集资金。尽管过程中面临诸多困难，包括使用假肢跑步的不便和身体上的疼痛，但他仍然坚持下来，并激励了无数人。因此，最能描述特里的词是C选项“Determined(坚定的)”。故选C。 Passage 2 （24-25学年高一上·北京人大附中·期中） A voice reaches us, crying out from the depths of a profound silence: “I am alive, I can think, and no one has the right to deny me these two realities...” The words were conveyed by a flicker (跳动) of the left eyelid. It came from a book, The Diving Bell and the Butterfly, by a former journalist, Jean-Dominique Bauby. He worked for journals like the Quotidien de Paris and Paris Match. For four years until December 1995 he was the very successful chief editor of Elle. Then the unthinkable happened. A cardiovascular (心血管的) accident sent him into a deep coma (昏迷). His brain remained undamaged, but its connection to his body left him with only the ability to blink his left eyelid. The poor man was diagnosed as suffering from the rare disease “Locked-in Syndrome”, unable to breathe or eat without assistance. In this inert body, however, his brain was working furiously, trying to make people understand what he was thinking. With the help of a specialized nurse, Claude Mendibil, he was able to write his book, using only his ability to blink at the most frequently used letters of the alphabet. He would spend most of the night editing his thoughts and composing sentences. It took him about 200,000 blinks to write his book of more than 100 pages. In it, Bauby describes his paralyzed existence as being trapped in an old-fashioned deep-sea diving bell while the “butterflies” of his mind flutter about freely. One would expect from this process formal factual report, but that is not the case. The book reads in flowing images that light up his predicament. The style is clear and fresh, and not without elegance, imagination and shafts of humor. He is also in search of past time, of memory itself, of the books he had read, the poems he had learnt by heart. He thinks of all the books he wanted to read and hadn’t gotten to. He has to listen to someone else reading them to him. He recalls meals, a horse race, his life and work as an editor, and his struggle in his hospital bed to twitch (抽搐) his nose when a fly lands on it. “From this hell comes a great message of life and hope,” said Antoine Audouard, a friend of Bauby’s and the book’s publisher. 5．We can learn from the article that Jean Dominique Bauby __________. A．die of a rare cardiovascular condition B．used to be a successful journalist and editor C．suffered brain damage due to Locked-in Syndrome D．continued to run magazines from his hospital bed 6．Based on information from the article, which of the following statements about The Diving Bell and the Butterfly is true? A．It is written in a formal and serious style. B．It focuses on Bauby’s memories from his time as an editor. C．It describes Bauby’s paralyzed existence with elegant and creative language. D．It gives readers an easy-to-understand introduction to Locked-in Syndrome. 7．Based on this article, which of the following words can be used to describe Bauby? A．Odd-tempered. B．Open-minded. C．Warm-hearted. D．Strong-willed. 【答案】5．B 6．C 7．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了一位被诊断患有一种罕见的疾病“闭锁综合症”的作家与病魔斗争，最终把自己的故事用优美的语言写成一本书展示给世人，传递出他不屈不挠的精神。 5．细节理解题。根据文章第二段中“It came from a book, The Diving Bell and the Butterfly, by a former journalist, Jean-Dominique Bauby. He worked for journals like the Quotidien de Paris and Paris Match. For four years until December 1995 he was the very successful chief editor of Elle.(这句话出自前记者让·多米尼克·鲍比的《潜水钟与蝴蝶》一书。他曾为《巴黎商报》和《巴黎竞赛报》等杂志工作。在1995年12月之前的四年里，他一直是《Elle》杂志非常成功的主编)”可知，Jean Dominique Bauby曾经是一名成功的记者和编辑。故选B项。 6．细节理解题。根据文章第六段中“The book reads in flowing images that light up his predicament. The style is clear and fresh, and not without elegance, imagination and shafts of humor.(这本书以流畅的画面展现了他的困境。风格清晰清新，不乏优雅、想象力和幽默)”可知，《潜水钟与蝴蝶》这本书用优雅而富有创造性的语言描述了鲍比瘫痪的生活。故选C项。 7．推理判断题。根据文章第四段“In this inert body, however, his brain was working furiously, trying to make people understand what he was thinking. With the help of a specialized nurse, Claude Mendibil, he was able to write his book, using only his ability to blink at the most frequently used letters of the alphabet.(然而，在这个无活动能力的身体里面，他的大脑正在疯狂地工作，试图让人们理解他在想什么。在专业护士克劳德·门迪比尔的帮助下，他仅凭对着字母表中最常用的字母眨眼的能力就能写书了)”、第五段中“He would spend most of the night editing his thoughts and composing sentences. It took him about 200, 000 blinks to write his book of more than 100 pages. (他晚上大部分时间都在整理自己的思想和造句。写这本100多页的书花了他大约20万次眨眼)”以及第六段中“The book reads in flowing images that light up his predicament. The style is clear and fresh, and not without elegance, imagination and shafts of humor.(这本书以流畅的画面展现了他的困境。风格清晰清新，不乏优雅、想象力和幽默)”可知，鲍比即使在瘫痪的情况下也没放弃写书，可见他意志力超强，故选D项。 主题02 人与社会——善行义举 Passage 1 （24-25学年高一上·北京八一学校·期中） When the COVID-19 pandemic forced the town in Manton, Michigan to shut down, Scott Chittle decided that the community needed a safe place to come together, and something to bring some joy during the boring winter months. And what is a better outdoor activity to get people outside in the cold than ice skating? In order to make his dream a reality, Chittle searched the Internet for videos on how to build an ice rink (溜冰场). He ordered a large 3,000 square foot tarp (防水帆布) online and bought some wood to create the walls. It took 12 fire trucks from the local fire department to get enough water to fill the plot. It took a little time as Chittle went door to door to convince people to come and see his creation, and soon Chittle’s backyard ice rink became a Manton hotspot. Parents joined in to help Chittle buy second-hand skates and hockey sticks for the neighborhood children. Soon enough, the children were skating and shooting. “We kept seeing more things donated. It was fantastic because the whole community just came together. It was amazing how everybody worked together because of Scott.” says neighbor Audrey Hooker. Skaters were welcome to come at any time. And each Saturday from 4 p.m. until 8 p.m., dozens of children and their parents gathered at the ice rink for skate parties. The children who had been confined to their homes for almost a year laughed and shouted with joy while skating around the rink. Parents gathered around feeling relief that their children had found a purpose again. It became a weekly event that neighbors could look forward to and it offered a place for people to see each other in a socially distanced way. But the kindness didn’t stop with Chittle. When the community heard how much money he used to make this project happen, everyone helped. A fundraiser brought in about $1,300, and letters sent to Chittle’s home stuffed with cash brought in an additional $1,500, covering all of the costs with money to spare. Companies began sending supplies for next year’s ice rink including outdoor lights, a snow sweeping machine and shovels. “This has been a community thing,” explains Chittle. “It’s not just me. I want to show the rest of the world what a little effort, the best intentions, and community can do not only for others but for the souls of all.” 8．Why did Chittle build a backyard ice rink? A．To organize skate parties. B．To show off his creativity. C．To get some money and outdoor supplies. D．To offer a safe social place and some fun. 9．What did the parents do to help with the ice rink? A．Filled the ice rink with water. B．Raised money for Chittle. C．Bought skates and hockey sticks. D．Convinced people to come. 10．What can we learn from the passage? A．The ice rink is only open to children on Saturday. B．The whole community contributed to the ice rink. C．Chittle made much money after building the ice rink. D．The parents felt relief because Chittle took care of their children. 11．Which of the following words can best describe Scott Chittle? A．Honest and friendly. B．Careful and confident. C．Humorous and polite. D．Kind and devoted. 【答案】8．D 9．C 10．B 11．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了疫情期间密歇根州曼顿镇关闭，Scott Chittle决定在社区自建溜冰场，并得到各方援助。 8．细节理解题。根据文章第一段“When the COVID-19 pandemic forced the town in Manton, Michigan to shut down, Scott Chittle decided that the community needed a safe place to come together, and something to bring some joy during the boring winter months.( 当COVID-19大流行迫使密歇根州曼顿镇关闭时，Scott Chittle决定，社区需要一个安全的地方来团结起来，并在无聊的冬季几个月里带来一些欢乐。)”可知，Chittle要在后院建一个溜冰场是为了提供一个安全的社交场所和一些乐趣。故选D。 9．细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Parents joined in to help Chittle buy second-hand skates and hockey sticks for the neighborhood children. (家长们也加入进来，帮助Chittle为附近的孩子们购买二手溜冰鞋和曲棍球棍。)”可知，父母买了溜冰鞋和曲棍球棍来帮助建立溜冰场。故选C。 10．细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Parents joined in to help Chittle buy second-hand skates and hockey sticks for the neighborhood children.

While most people were warming up their cars, Trevor, my husband, had to get up early to ride his bike four kilometers away from home to work. On arrival, he parked his bike outside the back door as he usually does. After putting in 10 hours of labor, he returned to find his bike gone. The bike, a black Kona 18 speed, was our only transport. Trevor used it to get to work, putting in 60-hour weeks to support his young family. And the bike was also used to get groceries (食品杂货), saving us from having to walk long distances from where we live. I was so sad that someone would steal our bike that I wrote to the newspaper and told them our story. Shortly after that, several people in our area offered to help. One wonderful stranger even bought a bike, then called my husband to pick it up. Once again my husband had a way to get to and from his job. It really is an honor that a complete stranger would go out of their way for someone they have never met before. People say that a smile can be passed from one person to another, but acts of kindness from strangers are even more so. This experience has had a spreading effect in our lives because it strengthened our faith in humanity (人性) as a whole. And it has influenced us to be more mindful of ways we, too, can share with others. No matter how big or how small, an act of kindness shows that someone cares. And the results can be everlasting. 12．Why was the bike so important to the couple? A．They used it for work and daily life. B．It was their only possession. C．It was a nice Kona 18 speed. D．The man’s job was bike racing. 13．What do the couple learn from their experience? A．Strangers are usually of little help. B．One should take care of their bike. C．News reports make people famous. D．An act of kindness can mean a lot. 14．How did people get to know the couple’s problem? A．From a stranger. B．From a newspaper. C．From TV news. D．From radio broadcasts. 15．From this story, we can see humanity is . A．commercial B．evil C．kind D．notorious 【答案】12．A 13．D 14．B 15．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者丈夫的自行车是家中唯一的交通工具，但不幸丢了，作者写信给报纸后，许多人提出要帮助，其中一位热心的陌生人甚至买了一辆自行车给作者的丈夫。这种善良的行为使作者对人性充满了信心，也催生了他们去关心和帮助别人的想法。 12．细节理解题。根据第二段“The bike, a black Kona 18 speed, was our only transport. Trevor used it to get to work, putting in 60-hour weeks to support his young family. And the bike was also used to get groceries (食品杂货), saving us from having to walk long distances from where we live.

One wonderful stranger even bought a bike, then called my husband to pick it up. (不久之后，我们这个地区的几个人主动提出要帮忙。一个很棒的陌生人甚至买了一辆自行车，然后打电话给我丈夫来取。)”和“It really is an honor that a complete stranger would go out of their way for someone they have never met before.

From that moment on, “the very last thing I ever thought about doing was taking a typing course,” she recalls. The show business thing worked out, of course. In her career, Mary won many awards. Only recently, when she began to write Growing Up Again, did she regret ignoring (忽视) her mom, “I don’t know how to use a computer,” she admits. Unlike her 1995 autobiography, After All, her second book is less about life as an award winning actress and more about living with diabetes (糖尿病). All the money from the book is intended for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF), an organization she serves as international chairman. “I felt there was a need for a book like this,” she says. “I didn’t want to lecture, but I wanted other diabetics to know that things get better when we’re self-controlled and do our part in managing the disease.” But she hasn’t always practiced what she teaches. In her book, she describes that awful day almost 40 years ago, when she received two pieces of life changing news. First, she had lost the baby she was carrying, and second, tests showed that she had diabetes. In a childlike act, she left the hospital and treated herself to a box of doughnuts (甜甜圈). Years would pass before she realized she had to grow up — again — and take control of her diabetes, not let it control her. Only then did she kick her three-pack-a-day cigarette habit, overcome her addiction to alcohol and begin to follow a balanced (平衡的) diet. Although her disease has affected (影响) her eyesight and forced her to the sidelines of the dance floor, she refuses to fall into self-pity. “Everybody on earth can ask, why me?” about something or other,” she insists. “It doesn’t do any good. No one is immune (免疫的) to heartache, pain, and disappointments. Sometimes we can make things better by helping others. I’ve come to realize the importance of that as I’ve grown up this second time. I want to speak out and be as helpful as I can be.” 16．Why did Mary feel regretful? A．She didn’t take care of her mother B．She didn’t complete her high school. C．She didn’t follow her mother’s advice D．She didn’t realize her dream. 17．Mary’s second book is Manny about her________. A．service for an organization B．remembrance of her mother C．successful show business D．living with diabetes 18．When Mary received the life-changing news, she _________. A．behaved in an adult way B．lost control of herself C．began a balanced diet D．try to get a treatment 19．What can we know from the last paragraph? A．Mary wants to help others as much as possible. B．Mary decides to go back to the dance floor. C．Mary has got well again. D．Mary felt pity for herself. 【答案】16．C 17．D 18．B 19．A 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。本文讲述的是Mary Moore的职业生涯及她的抗病历程。Mary Moore在患有糖尿病的情况下，还坚持写她与糖尿病的抗病历程，然后把稿酬都捐献给了糖尿病研究机构。尽管她的疾病已经严重影响到了她的健康，但是她仍然致力于帮助别人。 16．细节理解题。根据第一段中“her mother told her, “Be sure and take a typing course so when this show business thing doesn’t work out, you’ll have something to rely on.”(她的母亲告诉她：“一定要上打字课，这样当你在演艺圈不成功时，你就有了依靠。”)”和第二段中“Only recently, when she began to write Growing Up Again, did she regret ignoring (忽视) her mom, “I don’t know how to use a computer,” she admits.(直到最近，当她开始写《再次成长》时，她才后悔忽视了妈妈，“我不会用电脑，”她承认)”可知，母亲建议Mary学打字，Mary后悔没有听从母亲的这个建议，故选C。 17．细节理解题。根据第三段中“Unlike her 1995 autobiography, After All, her second book is less about life as an award winning actress and more about living with diabetes (糖尿病).(与她1995年的自传After All不同，她的第二本书讲述的不是获奖女演员的生活，而是糖尿病患者的生活)”可知，她的第二本书是关于她患糖尿病的生活，故选D。 18．推理判断题。根据第四段中“In her book, she describes that awful day almost 40 years ago, when she received two pieces of life changing news. First, she had lost the baby she was carrying, and second, tests showed that she had diabetes. In a childlike act, she left the hospital and treated herself to a box of doughnuts (甜甜圈).(在她的书中，她描述了那可怕的一天，大约40年前，当她收到两条改变人生的消息。首先，她失去了自己怀的孩子，其次，检查显示她患有糖尿病。像孩子一样，她离开医院，给自己买了一盒甜甜圈) ”可知，当Mary收到这个改变她一生的消息时，她失去了控制。故选B。 19．细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Sometimes we can make things better by helping others. I’ve come to realize the importance of that as I’ve grown up this second time. I want to speak out and be as helpful as I can be.(有时我们可以通过帮助别人使事情变得更好。当我第二次长大时，我开始意识到这一点的重要性。我想说出来，尽我所能提供帮助)”可知，Mary想尽可能多地帮助别人。故选A。 Passage 3 （24-25学年高一上·北京第十二中学·期中） Adom Appiah, is not your typical High School Junior. He has taken his volunteerism to a whole new level by starting a nonprofit charity organization called Ball4Good. Amazingly, this innovative organization was a result of Adom’s 7th grade school assignment. At age 12, his history teacher, Mrs. Kelsea Turner, at Spartanburg Day School, had challenged her students to dedicate 20% of their class time to a service project. She suggested that they research a community need and then work independently on finding a solution. Adom was inspired. Adom had great passion for playing sports as a soccer and basketball player. So, he naturally thought of combining sports and community support into an athletics-oriented service project. His idea was to invite athletes, leaders and celebrities to play ball games to raise money for local charities. Ball4Good held its first Celebrity Basketball Game in 2017. He used donations received on his 13th birthday as seed money for the event. It was a huge success and raised over $70,000 for 13 local charities. Then, Adom’s idea has transformed into a movement that is helping communities through various ways such as celebrity sport events, charity drives and fundraising. It donates raised funds to various causes affecting children, such as autism, homelessness, abuse and cancer. If all these accomplishments about Ball4Good were not enough, the teen has also authored three motivational children’s books to inspire students to change the world and bounce back from failures. Donations from book sales have supported several charitable causes. In addition, he won a National Award (Gloria Barron for Young Heroes, 2019) that comes with a $10,000 prize for his public service efforts. Having multiple projects has not slowed Adom down, as he is currently hosting his own show called Kids Changing the World on TV. “I try to have kids involved in every step of the way, so they can figure out how things work in the business and philanthropist world,” Adom said. He wants people to know that success starts with believing in yourself. His goal is to expand Ball4Good’s reach. He believes that by encouraging others to get involved, he’s multiplying the impact of Ball4Good. 20．What inspired Adom Appiah to start Ball4Good? A．Passion for sports and support from a community. B．A school assignment given by his history teacher. C．His experiences of being a soccer and basketball player. D．Athletes, leaders and celebrities he invited to play games. 21．According to the passage, we can learn that Ball4Good . A．aims to promote community sports B．held its first activity with Adom’s own savings C．helps communities simply through celebrity sport events D．uses raised money to help children in various difficulties 22．Which of the following can best describe Adom Appiah? A．Kind and humorous. B．Generous and patient. C．Innovative and inspiring. D．Hardworking and reliable. 【答案】20．B 21．D 22．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Adom Appiah创办非盈利组织Ball4Good帮助儿童以及他的成就。 20．细节理解题。根据第二段的“At age 12, his history teacher, Mrs. Kelsea Turner, at Spartanburg Day School, had challenged her students to dedicate 20% of their class time to a service project. She suggested that they research a community need and then work independently on finding a solution. Adom was inspired.(12岁时，他在斯帕坦堡走读学校(Spartanburg Day School)的历史老师凯尔西·特纳(Kelsea Turner)要求学生们拿出20%的上课时间来做一个服务项目。她建议他们先研究一下社区的需求，然后各自独立地寻找解决方案。Adom受到了启发)”可知，Adom创办了非盈利组织Ball4Good是受到了历史老师布置的作业的启发。故选B。 21．细节理解题。根据第四段“Then, Adom’s idea has transformed into a movement that is helping communities through various ways such as celebrity sport events, charity drives and fundraising. It donates raised funds to various causes affecting children, such as autism, homelessness, abuse and cancer.(然后，Adom的想法变成了一场运动，通过各种方式帮助社区，比如名人体育赛事、慈善活动和筹款。它将筹集到的资金捐赠给影响儿童的各种事业，如自闭症、无家可归、虐待和癌症)”可知，Ball4Good使用捐款帮助处于各种困难中的孩子们。故选D。 22．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段内容“If all these accomplishments about Ball4Good were not enough, the teen has also authored three motivational children’s books to inspire students to change the world and bounce back from failures. Donations from book sales have supported several charitable causes. In addition, he won a National Award (Gloria Barron for Young Heroes, 2019) that comes with a $10,000 prize for his public service efforts. Having multiple projects has not slowed Adom down, as he is currently hosting his own show called Kids Changing the World on TV.

His goal is to expand Ball4Good’s reach. He believes that by encouraging others to get involved, he’s multiplying the impact of Ball4Good.(他想让人们知道，成功始于相信自己。他的目标是扩大Ball4Good的覆盖范围。他认为，通过鼓励其他人参与进来，他正在扩大Ball4Good的影响力)”可推知，Adom是一个很有创新且鼓舞人心的人。故选C。 主题02 人与自我——个人经历 Passage 1 （24-25学年高一上·北京理工附中·期中） Jesse Owens, an African-American athlete, faced enormous pressure at the 1936 Olympic Games in Berlin. Despite racial mistreatment present at the Berlin Games, he made history by winning four Olympic gold medals in the 100m, 200m, 4×100m relay, and long jump events — an accomplishment no other Olympian had ever made. His remarkable achievement shattered (粉碎) Adolf Hitler’s plan to prove Aryan (雅利安人的) superiority. While Owens’ accomplishment was unique, he might have lost one of his gold medals had it not been for the advice from an unlikely ally (盟友) — German long jumper Luz Long. During the long jump event, Owens fouled (犯规) on his first two attempts and had only one final chance to qualify for the final. In an act of sportsmanship, Long walked up and suggested Owens change his mark and take off well before the foul line in order to avoid another foul. Following Long’s advice, Owens jumped a distance of 25 feet on his final try to qualify for the final. As it turned out, Owens bagged the gold, setting a new Olympic record(8.06m) while Long grabbed silver(7.87m). The German was the first to congratulate Owens and later walked around the stadium, arm-in-arm with Owens. They even posed together for pictures. It was a classy act of sportsmanship that stayed with Owens for the rest of his life. “It took a lot of courage for him to befriend me. You can melt down all the medals and cups I have and they wouldn’t be a plating on the 24-karat friendship I felt for Luz Long at that moment,” the American said. Owens and Long stayed connected even after the Games. Long lost his life during the Battle of St Pietro later in 1943, but he wrote a touching letter to Owens before he died. In the letter, he begged Owens to find his young son after the war and tell him about his father. Years have passed by but their bond still serves as a strong message, highlighting“ how things can be between men on this earth”, as written in the letter. 23．What challenge did Owens face at the 1936 Olympic Games?

(尽管在柏林奥运会上存在种族歧视，但他在100米、200米、4×100m接力和跳远项目中赢得了四枚奥运金牌，创造了历史——这是其他奥运选手从未取得过的成就)”可知，欧文斯在1936年奥运会上遭受不公平待遇。故选B。 24．细节理解题。根据第二段“In an act of sportsmanship, Long walked up and suggested Owens change his mark and take off well before the foul line in order to avoid another foul.(出于体育精神，朗走上前去，建议欧文斯改变他的标志，在罚球线前换下，以避免再次犯规)”可知，在跳远比赛中，朗为欧文斯提供了技术建议。故选B。 25．推理判断题。根据第三段“As it turned out, Owens bagged the gold, setting a new Olympic record(8.06m) while Long grabbed silver(7.87m). The German was the first to congratulate Owens and later walked around the stadium, arm-in-arm with Owens. They even posed together for pictures. It was a classy act of sportsmanship that stayed with Owens for the rest of his life. “It took a lot of courage for him to befriend me. You can melt down all the medals and cups I have and they wouldn’t be a plating on the 24-karat friendship I felt for Luz Long at that moment,” the American said.(结果，欧文斯以8.06米的成绩获得金牌，创造了新的奥运会纪录，而朗以7.87米的成绩获得银牌。德国人第一个向欧文斯表示祝贺，随后与欧文斯手挽手绕着体育场走了一圈。他们甚至一起摆姿势拍照。这是一种优雅的体育精神，在欧文斯的余生中一直陪伴着他。“他和我做朋友需要很大的勇气。你可以把我所有的奖牌和奖杯都融化掉，但它们无法掩盖我对卢兹·朗那一刻的24k友谊。”)”可知，朗在当时种族分歧的背景下，慷慨帮助了欧文斯，自己只得了银牌，说明他勇敢和慷慨。故选D。 26．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Years have passed by but their bond still serves as a strong message, highlighting“ how things can be between men on this earth”, as written in the letter.(多年过去了，但他们的纽带仍然传递着一个强烈的信息，正如信中所写的那样，突显了“这个世界上男人之间的关系”)”结合文章主要讲述了在1936年柏林奥运会上，德国跳远运动员卢兹·朗不顾种族分歧，帮助了美国黑人运动员杰西·欧文斯的故事。可知，欧文斯和朗的故事告诉我们友谊的力量弥合了种族分歧。故选C。 Passage 2 An Art Class （24-25学年高一上·北京丰台区·期中） When Kelly was twelve, she started taking classes at Miss Grace’s School for Art. She didn’t like it at first: the “novice artists”—the kids who hadn’t really done art before—worked mostly with clay, and Kelly was a terrible sculptor. It wasn’t until her third year that Kelly found something she was really good at—charcoal drawing(素描). She loved watching the lines spread unevenly across the page as she moved the bits of charcoal back and forth over the paper. One day, Sophia, the best artist in her class, sat down and set up her easel(画架)next to Kelly. Kelly felt a sinking feeling in her stomach. She’d actually found an art form that she enjoyed—and was good at—and now Sophia was going to outshine her again? Kelly fought back tears when Miss Grace entered the room. “Hello class,” Miss Grace said, “We’ll continue to work on the project today.” What masterpiece would Sophia have come up with? Kelly looked at Sophia’s easel and she couldn’t believe it—it was a mess! For a brief moment, Kelly couldn’t actually believe her drawing was better than Sophia’s. But then she looked at Sophia, who was watching Kelly with an anxious expression. “I...I couldn’t decide what to do,” Sophia said. “And you’re so good. Sometimes I feel like my stuff is just so bad in comparison.” Kelly looked to see if Sophia was joking, but she seemed completely serious. Now Kelly was shocked. “I’m not talented...Miss Grace seldom praises me. You’re the best one in our class!” Sophia raised her eyebrows. “I might be a really good copier of the stuff, but I have no idea what to do when it comes to making up my own images. You are so great at making new things out of the old stuff. I’ve loved your works.” “I’ve loved yours, too,” Kelly said. “Well, definitely not this one,” Sophia said. Kelly smiled. “Maybe not right now. But if you move these lines up …” she said, pointing her finger on Sophia’s paper. Sophia was quiet for a moment. “That’s a great idea!” she said finally. Kelly smiled and turned back to her drawing, looking every so often at Sophia’s work to see that she was taking her advice, down to the last line. 27．When Kelly started classes at the art school, she ________. A．lacked confidence in drawing B．was not good at the course C．was often pushed by Miss Grace D．did not get along with the other kids 28．How did Kelly feel when Sophia sat beside her? A．Frustrated. B．Bored. C．Excited. D．Relieved. 29．What did Kelly do in the art class? A．She praised Sophia’s creativity. B．She inspired Sophia. C．She decided to outshine Sophia. D．She finished the drawing for Sophia. 30．What can we learn from the passage? A．Interest is the best teacher. B．You are what you believe to be. C．Everyone has their own strengths. D．Hard work will eventually pay off. 【答案】27．B 28．A 29．B 30．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲的是Kelly在一节艺术课上所发生的事情。 27．细节理解题。根据第一段“She didn’t like it at first: the “novice artists”—the kids who hadn’t really done art before-worked mostly with clay, and Kelly was a terrible sculptor.(她一开始并不喜欢：那些“新手艺术家”——那些以前没有真正做过艺术的孩子——主要是用粘土创作的，而凯利是个糟糕的雕塑家。)”可知，当Kelly开始在艺术学校上课时，她不擅长这门课。故选B。 28．推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Kelly felt a sinking feeling in her stomach. She’d actually found an art form that she enjoyed and was good at-and now Sophia was going to outshine her again?(Kelly感到胃里有一种下沉的感觉。她真的找到了一种自己喜欢并擅长的艺术形式，而现在Sophia又要比她更耀眼了？)”可知，当Sophia坐在Kelly身边时，她担心Sophia会比她更优秀，所以她感觉到沮丧。故选A。 29．细节理解题。根据倒数第三段“Kelly smiled. “Maybe not right now. But if you move these lines up...” she said, pointing her finger on Sophia’s paper.(Kelly笑了。“也许不是现在。但是如果你把这些线往上移动……她用手指着Sophia的纸说。)”和倒数第二段“That’s a great idea!(好主意！)”可知，Kelly在美术课上启发了Sophia。故选B。 30．推理判断题。根据倒数第六段Sophia表扬Kelly的话“You are so great at making new things out of the old stuff.(你很擅长从旧事物中创造出新事物。)”可知，我们能从文章中了解到每个人都有自己的长处。故选C。 Passage 3 （24-25学年高一上·北京延庆区·期中） Bethany Meilani Hamilton was born on February 8, 1990, Kauai, Hawaii, where she grew up with two older brothers. Hamilton’s parents were both surfers and they started teaching Bethany how to surf at a young age, and she learned quickly with the support of her brothers. By age 8, Bethany was winning first place in surfing contests for her age group. Hamilton began competing more seriously at the age of nine, winning several more competitions in her age group. On October 31, 2003, while surfing with friends near Tunnels Beach, a 14-foot tiger shark attacked her. Bethany said, “My arm was hanging in the water, and it just came and bit me. It kind of pulled me back and forth. But I just held onto my board and then the shark let go.” The shark tore off Bethany’s left arm just below her shoulder.  Hamilton’s friends rushed her to the hospital. Bethany made it through several surgeries without infection (感染), and miraculously survived even though she had lost almost 60% of her blood. The doctor said that her athletic training helped her to survive the attack and blood loss. While she was healing, Bethany thought for a while that she might not surf again. She was concerned that it would be much harder to stand up on the board using only one hand and that her balance would be completely off. But with hard work and determination she returned to surfing. She says, “It’s hard for me to describe the joy I felt after I stood up and rode a wave in for the first time after the attack. I was greatly thankful and happy inside. The tiny bit of doubt that would sometimes tell me ‘you’ll never surf again’ was gone in one wave!” As for fear of another shark attack, Bethany says that sometimes her heart pounds when she sees a shadow (阴影) under the water. But she believes that faith provides hope and a future for those who feel down and defeated in their lives. Bethany’s popularity and hope for the future led her to partner with World Vision to create “Surfing for Children in Crisis”. Bethany hopes that her involvement in the campaign will help provide disabled children from around the world with care, support, and hope. 31．Who taught Bethany surfing when she was very young? A．Her brothers. B．Her parents. C．Her friend. D．Her doctor. 32．Why does Bethany’s heart pound when she sees a shadow under the water? A．She hopes she can swim down to see the shark. B．She is afraid another shark might attack her. C．She is worried she might get out of control. D．She thinks she can enjoy a bigger wave. 33．From the passage, we know Bethany is a ____________ person. A．careful B．proud C．brave D．clever 34．This passage probably comes from a (an) ________. A．guide B．novel C．magazine D．advertisement 【答案】31．B 32．B 33．C 34．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了冲浪运动员Bethany Meilani Hamilton的人生经历。 31．细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Hamilton’s parents were both surfers and they started teaching Bethany how to surf at a young age, and she learned quickly with the support of her brothers.(Hamilton的父母都是冲浪爱好者，他们在贝瑟尼很小的时候就开始教她如何冲浪，在哥哥们的支持下，贝瑟尼学得很快)”可知，在Bethany很小的时候，她的父母就开始教她冲浪。故选B。 32．细节理解题。根据第四段中的“As for fear of another shark attack, Bethany says that sometimes her heart pounds when she sees a shadow (阴影) under the water.(至于害怕鲨鱼再次袭击，Bethany说，有时当她看到水下的影子时，她的心会砰砰直跳)”可知，当Bethany看到水下的影子时，她的心怦怦直跳，因为她担心另一条鲨鱼会袭击她。故选B 33．推理判断题。根据第二段中的“On October 31, 2003, while surfing with friends near Tunnels Beach, a 14-foot tiger shark attacked her.(2003年10月31日，当她和朋友在隧道海滩附近冲浪时，一条14英尺长的虎鲨袭击了她)”和第三段中的“While she was healing, Bethany thought for a while that she might not surf again. She was concerned that it would be much harder to stand up on the board using only one hand and that her balance would be completely off. But with hard work and determination she returned to surfing.(在她康复的过程中，有一段时间，贝瑟尼想她可能不会再冲浪了。她担心单手在滑板上站起来会困难得多，而且她会完全失去平衡。但经过努力和决心，她重新回到了冲浪)”及“It’s hard for me to describe the joy I felt after I stood up and rode a wave in for the first time after the attack.(袭击发生后，我第一次站起来，乘着波浪冲了进去，我的喜悦之情难以形容)”可知，尽管Bethany因为鲨鱼袭击而失去了一个胳膊，但是她又重新回到了冲浪的运动中。由此推知，Bethany是一个非常勇敢的人。故选C。 34．推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Bethany Meilani Hamilton was born on February 8, 1990, Kauai, Hawaii, where she grew up with two older brothers. Hamilton’s parents were both surfers and they started teaching Bethany how to surf at a young age, and she learned quickly with the support of her brothers.(Bethany Meilani Hamilton于1990年2月8日出生在夏威夷考艾岛，在那里她和两个哥哥一起长大。Hamilton的父母都是冲浪爱好者，他们在Bethany很小的时候就开始教她如何冲浪，在哥哥们的支持下，她学得很快)”及下文内容可知，文章讲述了冲浪运动员Bethany Meilani Hamilton的人生经历。由此推知，它不可能来自guide(指南)，不可能来自novel(小说)，也不可能出自advertisement(广告)，它最有可能来自一本magazine(杂志)。故选C。 Passage 4 （24-25学年高一上·北京北师大附中·期中） I truly believe we all have a very special purpose in life, regardless of who we are or where we come from. After ten years of working for a major Wall Street bank, I wanted to do something challenging. So when I read a Merrill Lynch advertisement looking to hire more stockbrokers (股票经纪人), with great excitement, I made some phone calls and arranged to meet with one of its branch vice presidents. After this interview and interviews with twelve of his top stockbrokers, I eventually landed the job. The first few months was a struggle. I lived on very little commission (佣金). Night after night, I left the office weary and exhausted, ready to give up, yet somehow returning the next morning to start a new day. Eventually, all the hard work bore fruit. In less than four years, I became one of the top sales people at my branch and increased personal sales by 1,700 percent. The success earned me a six-figure income, promotion and numerous sales awards. Toward the end of my fourth year at Merrill Lynch, it hit me that something was missing. I thought long and hard about my goals. Then I remembered the time when I spoke to hundreds of people, while in college as a student leader, and years later, when I won a “Humorous Speech” championship. It dawned on me that every time I had a speaking engagement, I always came out of the experience with a wonderful, energetic, peaceful and magical feeling that was unmatched by anything else I did. I knew the extraordinary public-speaking skills I was blessed with could enable me to make a lasting difference and transform other people’s lives. Then I took another daring risk, gave up everything and left the investment business for a more satisfying career as a motivational speaker. The beginning of my speaking journey was surprisingly similar to what I had first experienced at Merrill Lynch. However, nothing in the world comes close to the satisfying feeling I get when thousands of people tell me how much I have made a difference in their lives by motivating them to take risks and be the best they could be. 35．Why did the author meet with a Merrill Lynch branch vice president? A．To employ more clerks. B．To arrange an interview. C．To get a position. D．To make an advertisement. 36．Which of the following best describes the author according to Paragraph 2? A．Patient and sincere. B．Optimistic and creative. C．Sensitive and successful. D．Tough and competent. 37．Which is the most suitable title for the text? A．Perseverance Brings Rewards B．Dare to Take Risks C．Reconsider Your Career Choice D．Speaking Makes a Satisfying Job 【答案】35．C 36．D 37．B 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述的是作者用自身经历告诉我们要敢于挑战、敢于冒险。 35．细节理解题。根据文章第一段“So when I read a Merrill Lynch advertisement looking to hire more stockbrokers (股票经纪人), with great excitement, I made some phone calls and arranged to meet with one of its branch vice presidents. After this interview and interviews with twelve of his top stockbrokers, I eventually landed the job. (因此，当我看到美林公司招聘更多股票经纪人的广告时，我非常兴奋地打了几个电话，并安排与该公司的一位分行副总裁会面。经过这次面试和他的12位顶级股票经纪人的面试，我最终得到了这份工作。)”可知，作者与美林公司分行副总裁会面，是为了获得股票经纪人这个岗位。故选C项。 36．推理判断题。根据文章第二段“The first few months was a struggle. I lived on very little commission (佣金). Night after night, I left the office weary and exhausted, ready to give up, yet somehow returning the next morning to start a new day. Eventually, all the hard work bore fruit. In less than four years, I became one of the top sales people at my branch and increased personal sales by 1,700 percent. The success earned me a six-figure income, promotion and numerous sales awards. (最初的几个月是一场斗争。我靠很少的佣金生活。一夜又一夜，我疲惫地离开办公室，准备放弃，但不知怎么的，第二天早上又回来开始新的一天。最终，所有的辛勤工作都结出了果实。在不到四年的时间里，我成为了分公司最优秀的销售人员之一，个人销售额增长了1700%。这一成功为我赢得了六位数的收入、晋升和众多销售奖项。)”可知，作者最初的几个月很艰难，只能靠很少的佣金生活，但在不到四年的时间里，作者成为了分公司最优秀的销售人员之一。由此推知，作者虽然过得艰难，但是也很有能力。故选D项。 37．主旨大意题。根据第一段第二句“After ten years of working for a major Wall Street bank, I wanted to do something challenging. (在华尔街一家大银行工作了十年之后，我想做一些具有挑战性的事情。)”和最后一段第一句“Then I took another daring risk, gave up everything and left the investment business for a more satisfying career as a motivational speaker. (然后，我又冒了一次大胆的风险，放弃了一切，离开了投资行业，去做一名更令人满意的励志演说家。)”可知，作者用自身经历告诉我们要敢于挑战，敢于冒险。由此可知，B项“Dare to Take Risks (敢于冒险)”最能概括本文主旨。故选B项。 / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
