We were on a one-night trip, and what he brought for dinner was just rice. Literally nothing else. This was not because he was trying to pack as light as possible, nor was it because he was broke. I tried to convince him to at least add some soy sauce (酱油) to it. But no, Alex wasn’t having any of it. “I don’t need it,” he said simply. Now, if he was talking only about outdoors’ meals, I almost understood the reason. When you’re ravenous after a day of burning off calories walking or climbing or backcountry skiing in the mountains, how awesome do things taste! Just as the saying goes, hunger is the best sauce. And I agree. Absolutely. But there’s more to it than that. Last month, I went down the coast car camping with my family. One morning, my wife made a statement. “I don’t see the point,” she said. “It’s so much work, camping. But the views at home are better. The beds are more comfortable. It’s more peaceful. And at home, the food is better.” I’ll admit she’s right about the first three. But the food? We had a simple pasta one night, snags another, chicken curry the third, but they all tasted good. Better than at home. And it wasn’t simply that we were hungry; it was because we were camping. The real point I want to convey is that meals taste particularly good when I’m camping because it reminds me of things that are easily overlooked at home, where I can just go to the cupboard or the supermarket and grab whatever I feel like. When you’re camping, life is reduced to its essentials, and I’m reminded of how privileged most of us are to be dry, warm and fed. More importantly, I’m reminded that, sadly, not everyone is as fortunate as we are. And I’m reminded that, as a society, we should do better for them. 1．Why did Alex bring only rice for dinner on the trip? A．He didn’t like soy sauce. B．He preferred to travel light. C．He couldn’t afford a better meal. D．He thought simple food enough outdoors. 2．What does the underlined word “ravenous” in the third paragraph mean? A．Exhausted. B．Starving. C．Charming. D．Refreshed. 3．What makes the author sad in the last paragraph? A．Some people lack the basic necessities of life. B．Some people fail to appreciate what they have. C．People easily forget the beauty of simple things. D．People easily quit camping due to its discomfort. 4．What message does the author want to convey in the passage? A．Camping is a test of adaptability to challenges. B．Camping is a bonding experience for family. C．Camping is a reminder of our good life. D．Camping is a chance to enjoy a feast. （江苏省丹阳市2025-2026学年高三上学期9月质量监测卷英语试题）At 2 years old, Caitlin Lyons found love at first sight — not with a storybook prince or a celebrity, but with horseback riding. “Once I got on my first horse, I just knew,” says Lyons. “And it didn’t take long for everyone around me to see how serious I was.” She had a riding instructor when she was in elementary school and since then, she has been on horseback more often than on a playground. As a high school student, Lyons visited the University of Georgia (UGA) after hearing about the school’s competitive equestrian (马术的) team. When she stepped on campus, she once again felt an instant connection. “It was home,” says Lyons. “There’s no other way to describe it. I just knew this was where I was meant to be.” Attending UGA allowed Lyons to find her path as an outstanding athlete. In 2024, she was named a finalist for the NCAA Woman of the Year Award. She also won the 2022 SEC Reining Rider of the Year and 2024 SEC Equestrian Scholar-Athlete of the Year. Lyons rides different horses depending on the event and location, but her personal horse, 6-year-old Ava Grace, holds a special place in her heart. “Horseback riding isn’t about jumping on an animal’s back and telling it what to do,” she says. “It’s about connecting. You can’t be in your head or anxious. You have to work together with a thousand pounds of living, breathing animal underneath you and know if they’re nervous or confident or confused.” While Lyons has a lot of experience working with horses, her passion for animals extends well beyond the riding stables (养马场). She has always wanted to help with the conservation of endangered species. She plans to work as a wildlife technician and eventually transform wildlife conservation at a national level after graduation. Just as she’s learned to build trust and care for horses, Lyons will use that devotion for protecting endangered species and their natural environments. 1．What excited Lyons’s love for horseback riding? A．A storybook about horses. B．Her first experience on a horse. C．A wonderful equestrian performance. D．Her riding instructor’s encouragement. 2．Why did Lyons like UGA on her visit? A．It provided adequate training facilities. B．It offered superior academic programs. C．It gave her a sense of belonging. D．It lifted her competitive spirit. 3．What does Lyons emphasize about horseback riding? A．Matching fine horses to events. B．Overcoming personal anxiety. C．Building a bond with the horse. D．Mastering practical riding skills. 4．What is Lyons’s future goal? A．To become a professional equestrian athlete. B．To support national wildlife conservation. C．To establish her own riding stables. D．To advocate for racehorses’ welfare. （2026届江苏省南京市高三年级学情调研零模英语试题）First, a sincere thank you to the neighbors who have reached out over the past few months. We’ve heard from many of you — even a note tied to a rock thrown through our window! Now, a quick update: we’ve taken our new year lights down. It wasn’t easy. Our lights had been up since December, nearly six months as part of our household. We were touched by the heartfelt concerns like, “ARE YOU KEEPING THEM UP FOREVER??!!!” We hoped these lights, bought on a sale, would inspire us and find their forever home. But there were problems: the sizzle, the smell, the mosquitoes, and one green bulb (灯泡) that went on and off for no reason. We sought help, but Shiny Brite Light Installations wanted to charge us an arm and a leg. Luckily, we discovered we could simply remove it. We knew it would upset the color arrangements by having two red bulbs together, but it was the only option. Dealing with the messy wires was another tiring challenge. We asked ourselves, “What are we doing wrong?” I remembered falling into bed one night and saying to my husband, “Is it us?” His answer: “No. It’s those lights. We should take them back.” Returning them? Unthinkable. Mainly because I’d lost the receipt, or because what kind of people would return a used item? Actually, neither. The lights were up, they were part of us now, and up they would stay. Eventually, we relaxed and enjoyed the days as time passed. As temperatures rise, colorful flowers are perfect decorations now, but what about the lights still playing new year songs when sensing every Amazon delivery truck? Not so much. Contrary to your whispers, we haven’t returned the lights. They’ve been rehomed in the basement, for now. Don’t worry. We remain committed to these lights. They are part of our family, even if they’re no longer on display — at least until late November. 1．How do the writer’s neighbors find her new year lights? A．Artistic. B．Annoying. C．Traditional. D．Inspiring. 2．According to paragraph 3, which was a problem with the lights? A．A part posed a safety risk. B．Their colors were boring. C．A bulb flashed unpredictably. D．Their wires were exposed. 3．Why did the writer decide not to return the lights? A．She regarded it a tiring challenge. B．She lost the receipt for them. C．She considered it impolite. D．She grew attached to them. 4．What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs? A．This November will witness new lights delivered B．The basement will be the lights’ forever home. C．Lights are perfect symbols of season changes D．The writer still plans on putting the lights up. （江苏省部分学校2025-2026学年高三上学期8月联考英语试题）Last April, after I published an essay about poetry as part of National Poetry Month, an editor told me he’d often thought that the world would be a better place if we had a poem delivered to our doorstep each morning instead of a newspaper. As a newspaperman, I’m not ready to discourage readership of each day’s edition, but maybe there’s something to be said for reading a newspaper and a poem each morning. All of that has led to a small experiment. In an effort to keep a little poetry in my life long after National Poetry Month had passed, I resolved to read at least one poem a day after reading through the newspaper over breakfast. Thanks to two digital services that deliver poetry right to my email inbox, it’s been an easy resolution to keep. Many public radio listeners are familiar with The Writer’s Almanac, a five-minute broadcast hosted by Garrison Keillor that airs on lots of stations around the country. Each day’s edition includes a handful of facts about literary anniversaries (周年纪念) , along with a short poem that Keillor recites. Fans can also have the text of each episode emailed to them every day, along with a link to the broadcast version. The Academy of American Poets has its own poem-day feature, called “Poem-a-Day”. Launched during National Poetry Month in 2006, Poem-a-Day highlights new and previously unpublished poems by contemporary poets on weekdays and classic poems on weekends. Since subscribing to both services last April, I’ve enjoyed receiving poems each morning. Reading at least one poem a day has also been like an intellectual vitamin (维生素) , giving me a brief taste of literature even on busy days. Last April, I wondered if I could remind myself to read a poem each morning. Now, deep in summer, I wonder if I could ever do without it. 1．What did the editor think of poetry? A．It could improve our daily life. B．It was as important as newspapers. C．It had a small but faithful readership. D．It should be composed in the morning. 2．How did the author conduct his experiment? A．By listening to radios and writing emails. B．By contributing poems to a newspaper. C．By creating resolutions over breakfast. D．By making use of online services. 3．What can be learned about The Writer's Almanac? A．It is a popular daily radio program. B．It marks its twentieth anniversary in 2025. C．It features poems written by Garrison Keillor. D．It highlights unpublished poems on weekends. 4．What does the last paragraph reveal about the author? A．It has taken years for him to fall in love with literature. B．He is wondering how to continue his conduct. C．He has developed a deep appreciation for poetry. D．It has benefited him a lot to be a newspaperman. （江苏省2025-2026学年高三上学期9月份联考英语试卷）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.

B．Facts speak louder than words. C．Innovation is the key to success. D．Gratitude creates more goodwill. （江苏扬州高邮市2025-2026学年高三上学期开学调研测试英语试题）In the heart of Jiangsu Province, the 2025 Jiangsu Football City League, affectionately known as Suchao, has reached its peak with the 11th round of regular season matches scheduled for this weekend.

I paused to take a few careful sips of water — only enough to moisten my tongue, since the bottle was already half-empty — and weigh my options. The shade from the trees did little to ease the burning sun as I struggled to make sense of the maps. The original plan was to stay overnight at a tourist park near Logue Brook Dam, where I could finally reach my wife, but right then, I didn’t have the faintest idea where I was. Wearily, I pushed myself upright, remounted my bike and started to double back in the hope of spotting clear trail markers, but this only made things worse: the trees seemed to press in around me as I desperately scanned for landmarks — and the cicadas (蝉) had erupted into a deafening chorus. After cycling slowly along the sandy trail for about two hours, I was delighted to see seemingly recent cycle tracks. Encouraged, I moved on, keeping a sharp eye on the tracks. However, I soon realised that they were my own. I was covering the same ground. Discouraged, I lay my bike aside, and sank down under a tree with a heavy sigh. I had no more water, and my tongue felt swollen. I felt sleepy as groups of flies settled on me in a vain attempt to find dampness. A sudden warm breeze stirred me. I opened my eyes, caught the distant hum of an engine, and glanced weakly upward, yet the sound faded away. After a short while, I heard it once more, but this time it seemed nearer. I dragged my feet and marched toward the source of the sound. When I made it to the top of the hill, I gasped in utter disbelief. There in front of me lay Logue Brook Dam, with boats pulling water skiers and folks sunbathing out in the open. I went back to my bicycle, pushed it up the hill, and let it coast into the lovely cool waters of the dam, where I rolled around wearing my full cycling gear. 1．What can be inferred about the 1st paragraph? A．The author desperately contacted his wife at the tourist park. B．The author found the trail markers easily after doubling back. C．The author felt confused and helpless in the current environment. D．The cicadas’ noise was so loud that the author couldn’t find landmarks. 2．When did the author realize he was cycling in circles? A．When trail markers disappeared. B．When he recognized his own bike tracks. C．When the loud cicada noises disturbed him. D．When he noticed the change in sandy trail conditions. 3．Why were the flies mentioned? A．To show he was awed at the abundant wildlife. B．To describe the surroundings were becoming tougher. C．To illustrate his physical discomfort was intensifying. D．To inform he unconsciously entered a dangerous zone. 4．What happened to the author in the end? A．He deserted his bike near the coast. B．He failed to locate the dam and gave up. C．He pushed his bike and rolled about the dam. D．He had the bike freewheel downhill and had fun. （江苏省2025-2026学年度高三上学期八校联盟质量检测（一）英语试题）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 重难语篇提升练习 （江苏省苏州市2025-2026学年高三上学期9月期初考试英语试卷）Four days after Hurricane Ida made landfall, the New Orleans meteorologist (气象学家) Margaret Orr took a break after twelve hours on the air to reply to some of her fans on Twitter. Orr, who has been reporting the weather for forty-two years, is regarded by many residents as a prophet (预言家). Someone asked why the sun always shines before a storm: “And I said, to remind us that the sun will shine again. But I don’t want the sun emoji.” She used a heart instead. The real reason the sun shines before a storm? “Because you’ve often got high pressure right over you, and it’s hot,” she said. “The high moves off to the east and pushes the system our way.” Many of her workmates were sleeping at the station, but Orr preferred to go home, where she had running water but no electricity. She could handle not having an air-conditioner. The trick, she said, was to take a cold shower. Not having Internet, though, was a hardship. She said, “I couldn’t check my social media until I got to work, which was annoying.” In the days leading up to Ida, people contacted Orr through Twitter to get individualized, practical advice. Orr tried to respond to everyone. This dedication earned her great respect from the residents. Orr has always been fascinated by weather. In 1965, when she was twelve years old, the wind from Hurricane Betsy blew the roof off her family’s house in New Orleans. She remembers going outside and standing in the eye of the storm. “I looked up and saw the sky and saw the stars,” she said. “Bad weather happens everywhere,” she said, “Every now and then, on Twitter, you’ll see people saying, why do you live there? Well, I live here because it’s my home. This is where I grew up. This is the place I love.” She went on, “After Hurricane Katrina, I thought, could I live anywhere else? And I decided, no, I couldn’t.” She added, “As my daughter said about New Orleans when she was a little girl, ‘I even love the dirt.’” 1．Orr’s explanation about sunshine before a storm can be described as _______. A．poetic but abstract B．scientific but tricky C．encouraging and professional D．strange and inaccurate 2．Why did Orr find the lack of Internet at home a “hardship”? A．She couldn’t access weather data for forecasts. B．She was unable to respond to people’s questions. C．She needed online resources for air-conditioning. D．She missed watching news about the hurricane. 3．What childhood experience sparked Orr’s fascination with weather? A．Watching weather reports on television. B．Reading books about hurricanes at school. C．Seeing the stars in the eye of Hurricane Betsy. D．Helping neighbors rebuild after Hurricane Betsy. 4．What message does the author want to convey in the last paragraph? A．Natural disasters are a common threat all over the world. B．People online don’t understand her deep love for her home. C．She decided to stay mainly because of her daughter’s opinion. D．Emotional attachment is what ties people to their hometown. （江苏省南通市2025-2026学年高三上学期9月调研测试英语试卷）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. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 阅读理解之记叙文10篇 （江苏省各地市高考模拟真题） 本资料共10篇专题训练，从上到下依次按照难度排列 题号 难度 知识点 1 较易 记叙文,个人经历 2 较易 爱好,人与动植物,记叙文 3 适中 记叙文,生活故事 4 适中 记叙文,诗歌 5 适中 记叙文,生活故事,励志故事 6 适中 竞技/比赛,记叙文 7 适中 记叙文,生活故事 8 适中 记叙文,个人经历,文学家 9 较难 自然灾害与防范,记叙文,个人经历 10 较难 记叙文,个人经历 基础语篇巩固练习 （江苏省南京市秦淮科技高中2025-2026学年高三上学期9月质量监测卷英语试题）Alex is my regular hiking, ice-climbing, and mountain-biking partner. We were on a one-night trip, and what he brought for dinner was just rice. Literally nothing else. This was not because he was trying to pack as light as possible, nor was it because he was broke. I tried to convince him to at least add some soy sauce (酱油) to it. But no, Alex wasn’t having any of it. “I don’t need it,” he said simply. Now, if he was talking only about outdoors’ meals, I almost understood the reason. When you’re ravenous after a day of burning off calories walking or climbing or backcountry skiing in the mountains, how awesome do things taste! Just as the saying goes, hunger is the best sauce. And I agree. Absolutely. But there’s more to it than that. Last month, I went down the coast car camping with my family. One morning, my wife made a statement. “I don’t see the point,” she said. “It’s so much work, camping. But the views at home are better. The beds are more comfortable. It’s more peaceful. And at home, the food is better.” I’ll admit she’s right about the first three. But the food? We had a simple pasta one night, snags another, chicken curry the third, but they all tasted good. Better than at home. And it wasn’t simply that we were hungry; it was because we were camping. The real point I want to convey is that meals taste particularly good when I’m camping because it reminds me of things that are easily overlooked at home, where I can just go to the cupboard or the supermarket and grab whatever I feel like. When you’re camping, life is reduced to its essentials, and I’m reminded of how privileged most of us are to be dry, warm and fed. More importantly, I’m reminded that, sadly, not everyone is as fortunate as we are. And I’m reminded that, as a society, we should do better for them. 1．Why did Alex bring only rice for dinner on the trip? A．He didn’t like soy sauce. B．He preferred to travel light. C．He couldn’t afford a better meal. D．He thought simple food enough outdoors. 2．What does the underlined word “ravenous” in the third paragraph mean? A．Exhausted. B．Starving. C．Charming. D．Refreshed. 3．What makes the author sad in the last paragraph? A．Some people lack the basic necessities of life. B．Some people fail to appreciate what they have. C．People easily forget the beauty of simple things. D．People easily quit camping due to its discomfort. 4．What message does the author want to convey in the passage? A．Camping is a test of adaptability to challenges. B．Camping is a bonding experience for family. C．Camping is a reminder of our good life. D．Camping is a chance to enjoy a feast. 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．A 4．C 【导语】本文为一篇记叙文，通过讲述作者与同伴Alex户外旅行的饮食经历，以及和家人露营时对食物的感悟，揭示了露营能让人重新审视生活，意识到自身的幸运，并唤起对社会弱势群体的关怀，强调露营是对美好生活的一种深刻提醒。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段“But no, Alex wasn’t having any of it. “I don’t need it,” he said simply.(但不，亚历克斯根本不接受我的建议。“我不需要它，”他简单地说道)”可知，Alex认为在户外简单的食物就足够了，不需要复杂的调味或更多的食物。故选D。 2．词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“after a day of burning off calories walking or climbing or backcountry skiing in the mountains(在进行了一整天的步行、登山或在山区进行越野滑雪等消耗卡路里的运动之后)”可知，在户外活动一天后，人们消耗了大量卡路里，感到非常饿的状态。故“ravenous”表示极度饥饿，因此选项B “Starving（饥饿的）”是正确的。故选B。 3．细节理解题。根据最后一段“When you’re camping, life is reduced to its essentials, and I’m reminded of how privileged most of us are to be dry, warm and fed. More importantly, I’m reminded that, sadly, not everyone is as fortunate as we are. And I’m reminded that, as a society, we should do better for them.(当你在露营时，生活就变得极其简单纯粹了。这让我想起我们大多数人是多么幸运能够保持干爽、温暖并且有食物可吃。更重要的是，这让我意识到，令人遗憾的是，并非所有人都像我们这般幸运。而且我还意识到，作为一个社会，我们应该为他们做得更好)”可知，作者感到难过的是，有些人缺乏基本的生活必需品。故选A。 4．推理判断题。根据最后一段“When you’re camping, life is reduced to its essentials, and I’m reminded of how privileged most of us are to be dry, warm and fed.

As a high school student, Lyons visited the University of Georgia (UGA) after hearing about the school’s competitive equestrian (马术的) team. When she stepped on campus, she once again felt an instant connection. “It was home,” says Lyons. “There’s no other way to describe it. I just knew this was where I was meant to be.” Attending UGA allowed Lyons to find her path as an outstanding athlete. In 2024, she was named a finalist for the NCAA Woman of the Year Award. She also won the 2022 SEC Reining Rider of the Year and 2024 SEC Equestrian Scholar-Athlete of the Year. Lyons rides different horses depending on the event and location, but her personal horse, 6-year-old Ava Grace, holds a special place in her heart. “Horseback riding isn’t about jumping on an animal’s back and telling it what to do,” she says. “It’s about connecting. You can’t be in your head or anxious. You have to work together with a thousand pounds of living, breathing animal underneath you and know if they’re nervous or confident or confused.” While Lyons has a lot of experience working with horses, her passion for animals extends well beyond the riding stables (养马场). She has always wanted to help with the conservation of endangered species. She plans to work as a wildlife technician and eventually transform wildlife conservation at a national level after graduation. Just as she’s learned to build trust and care for horses, Lyons will use that devotion for protecting endangered species and their natural environments. 1．What excited Lyons’s love for horseback riding? A．A storybook about horses. B．Her first experience on a horse. C．A wonderful equestrian performance. D．Her riding instructor’s encouragement. 2．Why did Lyons like UGA on her visit? A．It provided adequate training facilities. B．It offered superior academic programs. C．It gave her a sense of belonging. D．It lifted her competitive spirit. 3．What does Lyons emphasize about horseback riding? A．Matching fine horses to events. B．Overcoming personal anxiety. C．Building a bond with the horse. D．Mastering practical riding skills. 4．What is Lyons’s future goal? A．To become a professional equestrian athlete. B．To support national wildlife conservation. C．To establish her own riding stables. D．To advocate for racehorses’ welfare. 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．C 4．B 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了凯特琳·莱昂斯对骑马的热爱、在大学的成就以及未来保护濒危物种的目标。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段中“At 2 years old, Caitlin Lyons found love at first sight — not with a storybook prince or a celebrity, but with horseback riding. “Once I got on my first horse, I just knew,” says Lyons.(两岁时，凯特琳·莱昂斯便一见钟情——不过这份爱并非针对童话故事里的王子或某个名人，而是爱上了骑马。“我一骑上第一匹马，就立刻明白了，”莱昂斯说道。)”可知，莱昂斯第一次骑马的经历激发了她对骑马的热爱。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据第二段中“As a high school student, Lyons visited the University of Georgia (UGA) after hearing about the school’s competitive equestrian (马术的) team. When she stepped on campus, she once again felt an instant connection. “It was home,” says Lyons. “There’s no other way to describe it. I just knew this was where I was meant to be.”(高中时期，莱昂斯听闻佐治亚大学（UGA）有一支实力强劲的马术队后，便前往参观。当她踏入校园的那一刻，又一次感受到了瞬间产生的紧密联系。“这里就像家一样，”莱昂斯说，“没有其他词语能形容这种感觉。我就知道，这里才是我该来的地方。”)”可知，莱昂斯在访问佐治亚大学时喜欢上这所大学是因为它给了她一种归属感。故选C。 3．细节理解题。根据第四段中““Horseback riding isn’t about jumping on an animal’s back and telling it what to do,” she says. “It’s about connecting. You can’t be in your head or anxious. You have to work together with a thousand pounds of living, breathing animal underneath you and know if they’re nervous or confident or confused.”(“骑马可不是跳到马背上，然后命令它该怎么做，”她说，“骑马讲究的是心灵相通。你不能满脑子杂念，也不能焦虑不安。你得与身下这头重达千磅、活生生会呼吸的动物协同合作，还得感知到它们是紧张、自信还是困惑。”)”可知，莱昂斯强调骑马是与马建立联系。故选C。 4．细节理解题。根据最后一段中“She plans to work as a wildlife technician and eventually transform wildlife conservation at a national level after graduation.(她计划毕业后成为一名野生动物技术员，并最终在国家层面改变野生动物保护。)”可知，莱昂斯的未来目标是支持国家野生动物保护。故选B。 （2026届江苏省南京市高三年级学情调研零模英语试题）First, a sincere thank you to the neighbors who have reached out over the past few months. We’ve heard from many of you — even a note tied to a rock thrown through our window! Now, a quick update: we’ve taken our new year lights down. It wasn’t easy. Our lights had been up since December, nearly six months as part of our household. We were touched by the heartfelt concerns like, “ARE YOU KEEPING THEM UP FOREVER??!!!” We hoped these lights, bought on a sale, would inspire us and find their forever home. But there were problems: the sizzle, the smell, the mosquitoes, and one green bulb (灯泡) that went on and off for no reason. We sought help, but Shiny Brite Light Installations wanted to charge us an arm and a leg. Luckily, we discovered we could simply remove it. We knew it would upset the color arrangements by having two red bulbs together, but it was the only option. Dealing with the messy wires was another tiring challenge. We asked ourselves, “What are we doing wrong?” I remembered falling into bed one night and saying to my husband, “Is it us?” His answer: “No. It’s those lights. We should take them back.” Returning them? Unthinkable. Mainly because I’d lost the receipt, or because what kind of people would return a used item? Actually, neither. The lights were up, they were part of us now, and up they would stay. Eventually, we relaxed and enjoyed the days as time passed. As temperatures rise, colorful flowers are perfect decorations now, but what about the lights still playing new year songs when sensing every Amazon delivery truck? Not so much. Contrary to your whispers, we haven’t returned the lights. They’ve been rehomed in the basement, for now. Don’t worry. We remain committed to these lights. They are part of our family, even if they’re no longer on display — at least until late November. 1．How do the writer’s neighbors find her new year lights? A．Artistic. B．Annoying. C．Traditional. D．Inspiring. 2．According to paragraph 3, which was a problem with the lights? A．A part posed a safety risk. B．Their colors were boring. C．A bulb flashed unpredictably. D．Their wires were exposed. 3．Why did the writer decide not to return the lights? A．She regarded it a tiring challenge. B．She lost the receipt for them. C．She considered it impolite. D．She grew attached to them. 4．What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs? A．This November will witness new lights delivered B．The basement will be the lights’ forever home. C．Lights are perfect symbols of season changes D．The writer still plans on putting the lights up. 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．D 4．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章以幽默诙谐的笔触讲述了作者一家与新年灯之间发生的趣事，展现了邻里互动以及作者一家对新年灯复杂的情感。 1．推理判断题。根据第一段“We’ve heard from many of you — even a note tied to a rock thrown through our window! (我们收到了你们许多人的纸条——甚至有一张纸条系在扔进我们窗户的石头上！)”和第二段“We were touched by the heartfelt concerns like, “ARE YOU KEEPING THEM UP FOREVER??!!!

(但也有一些问题：嘶嘶声、气味、蚊子，还有一个绿色的灯泡莫名其妙地开了又关)”可知，有个绿色的灯泡突然闪烁。故选C。 3．推理判断题。根据第四段“The lights were up, they were part of us now, and up they would stay. (灯已经挂起来了，成了我们的一部分，就该一直挂着)” 可知，灯已经成为了作者和家人的一部分，体现作者对灯产生了感情，很依恋灯，故选D。 4．推理判断题。根据最后两段，尤其最后一句“They are part of our family, even if they’re no longer on display — at least until late November. (它们是我们家庭的一部分，即使它们不再出现——至少要到11月底)”可知，作者11月底还会挂起彩灯，故推断作者仍然打算把灯挂起来。故选D。 （江苏省部分学校2025-2026学年高三上学期8月联考英语试题）Last April, after I published an essay about poetry as part of National Poetry Month, an editor told me he’d often thought that the world would be a better place if we had a poem delivered to our doorstep each morning instead of a newspaper. As a newspaperman, I’m not ready to discourage readership of each day’s edition, but maybe there’s something to be said for reading a newspaper and a poem each morning. All of that has led to a small experiment. In an effort to keep a little poetry in my life long after National Poetry Month had passed, I resolved to read at least one poem a day after reading through the newspaper over breakfast. Thanks to two digital services that deliver poetry right to my email inbox, it’s been an easy resolution to keep. Many public radio listeners are familiar with The Writer’s Almanac, a five-minute broadcast hosted by Garrison Keillor that airs on lots of stations around the country. Each day’s edition includes a handful of facts about literary anniversaries (周年纪念) , along with a short poem that Keillor recites. Fans can also have the text of each episode emailed to them every day, along with a link to the broadcast version. The Academy of American Poets has its own poem-day feature, called “Poem-a-Day”. Launched during National Poetry Month in 2006, Poem-a-Day highlights new and previously unpublished poems by contemporary poets on weekdays and classic poems on weekends. Since subscribing to both services last April, I’ve enjoyed receiving poems each morning. Reading at least one poem a day has also been like an intellectual vitamin (维生素) , giving me a brief taste of literature even on busy days. Last April, I wondered if I could remind myself to read a poem each morning. Now, deep in summer, I wonder if I could ever do without it. 1．What did the editor think of poetry? A．It could improve our daily life. B．It was as important as newspapers. C．It had a small but faithful readership. D．It should be composed in the morning. 2．How did the author conduct his experiment? A．By listening to radios and writing emails. B．By contributing poems to a newspaper. C．By creating resolutions over breakfast. D．By making use of online services. 3．What can be learned about The Writer's Almanac? A．It is a popular daily radio program. B．It marks its twentieth anniversary in 2025. C．It features poems written by Garrison Keillor. D．It highlights unpublished poems on weekends. 4．What does the last paragraph reveal about the author? A．It has taken years for him to fall in love with literature. B．He is wondering how to continue his conduct. C．He has developed a deep appreciation for poetry. D．It has benefited him a lot to be a newspaperman. 【答案】1．A 2．D 3．A 4．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者参与美国“国家诗歌月”活动后，通过数字化服务坚持每天阅读诗歌，并逐渐培养出对诗歌的深厚欣赏，使诗歌成为日常生活中不可或缺的精神食粮。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段“an editor told me he’d often thought that the world would be a better place if we had a poem delivered to our doorstep each morning instead of a newspaper.(一位编辑告诉我，他常常想，如果我们每天早上送到门口的不是报纸，而是一首诗，世界会变得更美好。)”可知，编辑认为诗歌能改善我们的日常生活。故选A项。 2．细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Thanks to two digital services that deliver poetry right to my email inbox, it's been an easy resolution to keep.(多亏了两项数字服务，它们直接把诗歌发送到我的电子邮件收件箱，这个决心才得以轻易坚持下来。)”可知，作者通过两种数字化服务每天接收诗歌，从而轻松实现每天读诗的目标。即作者是通过利用在线服务进行实验的。故选D项。 3．推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Many public radio listeners are familiar with The Writer’s Almanac, a five-minute broadcast hosted by Garrison Keillor that airs on lots of stations around the country.

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. D．Gratitude creates more goodwill. 【答案】1．A 2．B 3．A 4．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述维克多·苏因过度工作患病，在西北大学接受治疗后康复，其家人为感恩设立基金助力该校医疗服务的故事。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段中的“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.(他在西北大学（Northwestern University）获得化学工程与工业工程学位后，从事了二十年咨询与金融领域的工作，最终足迹遍布全球——从美国到日本，再到英国。)”以及第二段中的“However, because of putting in long hours at his job in London, Su suffered from a severe disease.(然而，由于在伦敦的工作中长时间加班，苏患上了一种严重的疾病。)”可知，苏是因为过度工作而生病的。故选A项。 2．推理判断题。根据第三段中的“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.(“这对苏来说是救命稻草，”寇说。“他在该中心重新获得了沟通能力，并通过与医疗团队的在线会议，在家中继续取得进步。”)”可知，寇认为这个项目让苏重获沟通能力且持续进步，效果显著，是富有成效的。故选B项。 3．推理判断题。根据第五段中的“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.(为了感谢苏所接受的治疗，这家人慷慨捐赠，设立了苏家族社区影响基金，该基金将帮助该校向芝加哥地区服务不足的儿童和成人扩展诊断和治疗服务。)”可知，苏家人在自身受益后，慷慨捐赠帮助他人，体现出无私的品质。故选A项。 4．推理判断题。通读全文可知，苏因接受西北大学的有效治疗而康复，其家人出于感恩设立基金，助力该校为更多人提供医疗服务，传递了善意，这体现出“感恩能创造更多善意”的主旨。故选D项。 （江苏扬州高邮市2025-2026学年高三上学期开学调研测试英语试题）In the heart of Jiangsu Province, the 2025 Jiangsu Football City League, affectionately known as Suchao, has reached its peak with the 11th round of regular season matches scheduled for this weekend.

I paused to take a few careful sips of water — only enough to moisten my tongue, since the bottle was already half-empty — and weigh my options. The shade from the trees did little to ease the burning sun as I struggled to make sense of the maps. The original plan was to stay overnight at a tourist park near Logue Brook Dam, where I could finally reach my wife, but right then, I didn’t have the faintest idea where I was. Wearily, I pushed myself upright, remounted my bike and started to double back in the hope of spotting clear trail markers, but this only made things worse: the trees seemed to press in around me as I desperately scanned for landmarks — and the cicadas (蝉) had erupted into a deafening chorus. After cycling slowly along the sandy trail for about two hours, I was delighted to see seemingly recent cycle tracks. Encouraged, I moved on, keeping a sharp eye on the tracks. However, I soon realised that they were my own. I was covering the same ground. Discouraged, I lay my bike aside, and sank down under a tree with a heavy sigh. I had no more water, and my tongue felt swollen. I felt sleepy as groups of flies settled on me in a vain attempt to find dampness. A sudden warm breeze stirred me. I opened my eyes, caught the distant hum of an engine, and glanced weakly upward, yet the sound faded away. After a short while, I heard it once more, but this time it seemed nearer. I dragged my feet and marched toward the source of the sound. When I made it to the top of the hill, I gasped in utter disbelief. There in front of me lay Logue Brook Dam, with boats pulling water skiers and folks sunbathing out in the open. I went back to my bicycle, pushed it up the hill, and let it coast into the lovely cool waters of the dam, where I rolled around wearing my full cycling gear. 1．What can be inferred about the 1st paragraph? A．The author desperately contacted his wife at the tourist park. B．The author found the trail markers easily after doubling back. C．The author felt confused and helpless in the current environment. D．The cicadas’ noise was so loud that the author couldn’t find landmarks. 2．When did the author realize he was cycling in circles? A．When trail markers disappeared. B．When he recognized his own bike tracks. C．When the loud cicada noises disturbed him. D．When he noticed the change in sandy trail conditions. 3．Why were the flies mentioned? A．To show he was awed at the abundant wildlife. B．To describe the surroundings were becoming tougher. C．To illustrate his physical discomfort was intensifying. D．To inform he unconsciously entered a dangerous zone. 4．What happened to the author in the end? A．He deserted his bike near the coast. B．He failed to locate the dam and gave up. C．He pushed his bike and rolled about the dam. D．He had the bike freewheel downhill and had fun. 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．C 4．C 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者骑行时迷路，缺水困顿，发现自己在绕圈，后循引擎声找到Logue Brook Dam，推自行车入坝，在水中翻滚。 1．推理判断题。根据第一段“The original plan was to stay overnight at a tourist park near Logue Brook Dam, where I could finally reach my wife, but right then, I didn’t have the faintest idea where I was.

I felt sleepy as groups of flies settled on me in a vain attempt to find dampness.(沮丧不已，我把自行车放在一旁，然后重重地叹了口气，瘫坐在一棵树下。我已经没有水了，舌头也肿了起来。我感到十分困倦，一群群苍蝇落在我的身上，试图寻找潮湿的地方，但它们的努力却是徒劳的)”可知，提及这些苍蝇是为了表明他的身体不适感正在加剧。故选C。 4．细节理解题。根据最后一段“I went back to my bicycle, pushed it up the hill, and let it coast into the lovely cool waters of the dam, where I rolled around wearing my full cycling gear.(我回到自行车旁，推着它爬上山坡，然后让它自然滑行进到那座大坝旁清凉宜人的水里。我穿着全套骑行装备在里面尽情地翻滚嬉戏)”可知，这位作者最后推着自行车，在大坝上来回滑行。故选C。 （江苏省2025-2026学年度高三上学期八校联盟质量检测（一）英语试题）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 【答案】1．D 2．A 3．B 4．C 【导语】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。 重难语篇提升练习 （江苏省苏州市2025-2026学年高三上学期9月期初考试英语试卷）Four days after Hurricane Ida made landfall, the New Orleans meteorologist (气象学家) Margaret Orr took a break after twelve hours on the air to reply to some of her fans on Twitter. Orr, who has been reporting the weather for forty-two years, is regarded by many residents as a prophet (预言家). Someone asked why the sun always shines before a storm: “And I said, to remind us that the sun will shine again. But I don’t want the sun emoji.” She used a heart instead. The real reason the sun shines before a storm? “Because you’ve often got high pressure right over you, and it’s hot,” she said. “The high moves off to the east and pushes the system our way.” Many of her workmates were sleeping at the station, but Orr preferred to go home, where she had running water but no electricity. She could handle not having an air-conditioner. The trick, she said, was to take a cold shower. Not having Internet, though, was a hardship. She said, “I couldn’t check my social media until I got to work, which was annoying.” In the days leading up to Ida, people contacted Orr through Twitter to get individualized, practical advice. Orr tried to respond to everyone. This dedication earned her great respect from the residents. Orr has always been fascinated by weather. In 1965, when she was twelve years old, the wind from Hurricane Betsy blew the roof off her family’s house in New Orleans. She remembers going outside and standing in the eye of the storm. “I looked up and saw the sky and saw the stars,” she said. “Bad weather happens everywhere,” she said, “Every now and then, on Twitter, you’ll see people saying, why do you live there? Well, I live here because it’s my home. This is where I grew up. This is the place I love.” She went on, “After Hurricane Katrina, I thought, could I live anywhere else? And I decided, no, I couldn’t.” She added, “As my daughter said about New Orleans when she was a little girl, ‘I even love the dirt.’” 1．Orr’s explanation about sunshine before a storm can be described as _______. A．poetic but abstract B．scientific but tricky C．encouraging and professional D．strange and inaccurate 2．Why did Orr find the lack of Internet at home a “hardship”? A．She couldn’t access weather data for forecasts. B．She was unable to respond to people’s questions. C．She needed online resources for air-conditioning. D．She missed watching news about the hurricane. 3．What childhood experience sparked Orr’s fascination with weather? A．Watching weather reports on television. B．Reading books about hurricanes at school. C．Seeing the stars in the eye of Hurricane Betsy. D．Helping neighbors rebuild after Hurricane Betsy. 4．What message does the author want to convey in the last paragraph? A．Natural disasters are a common threat all over the world. B．People online don’t understand her deep love for her home. C．She decided to stay mainly because of her daughter’s opinion. D．Emotional attachment is what ties people to their hometown. 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．C 4．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了气象学家Margaret Orr在飓风艾达来袭期间坚守岗位，为民众提供专业且鼓舞人心的天气解读，赢得广泛尊重，尽管家乡常受自然灾害侵袭，她依然选择留守，因为这里是她的家园和成长之地。 1．推理判断题。根据第一段中““And I said, to remind us that the sun will shine again. But I don’t want the sun emoji.” She used a heart instead. The real reason the sun shines before a storm? “Because you’ve often got high pressure right over you, and it’s hot,” she said. “The high moves off to the east and pushes the system our way.” (“我回答道，这是为了提醒我们，太阳终将再次照耀大地。但我不想用太阳表情符号。”她最后选择用了一颗爱心表情。至于风暴前出现晴天的真正原因？“因为高压系统正好笼罩在头顶，所以天气炎热，”她解释道，“当高压东移时，就会把风暴系统推向我们这边。”)”可知，Orr首先表示阳光象征希望，然后用专业气象术语解释现象，她的解释既饱含鼓励，又很专业。故选C项。 2．细节理解题。根据第二段中“Not having Internet, though, was a hardship. She said, “I couldn’t check my social media until I got to work, which was annoying.” In the days leading up to Ida, people contacted Orr through Twitter to get individualized, practical advice. (不过，没有网络确实带来了不便。她表示：“上班前我都没法刷社交媒体，这实在让人抓狂。”在飓风艾达来临前的日子里，许多民众通过推特联系Orr，向她寻求个性化的实用建议)”可知，Orr认为家里没有互联网是一种“困难”，是因为她无法回答别人的问题。故选B项。 3．细节理解题。根据第三段中“Orr has always been fascinated by weather. (Orr一直对天气现象充满浓厚兴趣)”和“She remembers going outside and standing in the eye of the storm. “I looked up and saw the sky and saw the stars,” she said. (她至今仍清晰记得，自己曾走到户外，站在飓风眼中。“我抬头望见星空璀璨，”她回忆道。)”可知，童年时在飓风眼中看到星星的经历激发了Orr对天气的迷恋。故选C项。 4．推理判断题。根据最后一段““Bad weather happens everywhere,” she said, “Every now and then, on Twitter, you’ll see people saying, why do you live there? Well, I live here because it’s my home. This is where I grew up. This is the place I love.” She went on, “After Hurricane Katrina, I thought, could I live anywhere else? And I decided, no, I couldn’t.” She added, “As my daughter said about New Orleans when she was a little girl, ‘I even love the dirt.’” (“恶劣天气哪里都有，”她说道，“时不时的，总有人在推特上问：你干嘛住那儿？其实原因很简单——因为这里是我的家。这是我长大的地方，是我心之所系。”她继续回忆道：“卡特里娜飓风过后，我也曾自问能否搬去别处生活？但最终发现根本做不到。”说到这里她莞尔一笑。“就像我女儿小时候形容新奥尔良那样——‘我连这里的泥土都爱得不得了’。”)”可知，尽管新奥尔良常受自然灾害侵袭，Orr依然选择留守，因为这里是她的家园和成长之地，承载着她深厚的情感归属。由此推知，作者想表达的是，情感依恋是把人们与家乡联系在一起的东西。故选D项。 （江苏省南通市2025-2026学年高三上学期9月调研测试英语试卷）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 【导语】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。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
