高三英语二轮复习提分培优赋能（天津专用） 专题02 阅读理解满分技能讲练测（记叙文）（技能+真题+模拟）原卷版 一、阅读理解满分技能（记叙文） 1 二、阅读理解真题再练（记叙文） 2 三、阅读理解名校模拟（记叙文） 8 一、阅读理解满分技能（记叙文） 一、题型解读 记叙文是以写人、记事、状物为主要内容，以记叙和描写为表达方式的文章。记叙文应该包括六要素，即：时间、地点、人物、起因、经过和结果。可以按事件发生的时间顺序写，也可以按事件发生的先后写。命题上，主要集中在多个事件的先后顺序与人物的情感态度上。选材上，新颖、生动、真实、典型的素材描写，让读者有身临其境的感觉。形式上，顺叙、倒叙、插叙。语言上，一般过去时为主，各种时态为辅。 二、体裁结构 1.记叙文的开头通常交代事件的背景，即事件发生的时间、地点、有关人物等内容。 2.记叙文的展开通常以人物活动的时间顺序、空间位置变换、事件发生的顺为行文线索。 3.记叙文的结尾通常是依照事件的发生、发展和结局这样一个自然的顺序来结尾。 三、解题策略 1.关注细节：记叙文中有大量的事件发展过程中的细节，包括记叙文的5W（what, who, when, where, why）要素。因此我们作答细节题的时候，一般只需要由前到后，从上到下，一题一题地做就可以了。  2.读懂表象：主旨大意题或推理判断、作者意图题等实际上是同一类型的问题，或者说是可用同种方法解答的题型。解答此类题目时候，不可被题干的表象所迷惑，要像剥洋葱一样，一层一层地剥，去排除。  3.挖掘意义：每年的高考阅读题中，特别是记叙文的阅读题，都会出现一至两道词义猜测题。考核的不是你的语法的熟练程度，也不是你的记忆力，而是你对文章通篇或者一个段落的整体把握和变通能力。 四、主旨概括题 1.聚焦首段法：首段主旨句；转折词后；破折号后 2.核心名词法：核心名词在文章中高频出现。可是“原词”或“同义词”不断曝光。 3.信息合并法：整合各段落大意，整合各段落首段信息 4.首位呼应法：整合首段和尾端信息 五、实用答题妙招 1.阅读理解记叙文细节理解题居多，落实“题文同序”和“同义替换”。 2.数据计算题注重“原文定位”“细节理解”，弄清来龙去脉再计算。 3.文章寓意题要注意言外之意，尤其是首尾段做出合理推测判断。 4.人物性格描述题注意捕捉原文褒贬性词汇再进行同义替换和排除。 5.满分策略：读题干→找原文→做标记→留痕迹→看选项→扣字眼。 二、阅读理解真题再练（记叙文） 真题专区：练真题,明方向;练技巧,提能力;练速度,提分数! 01（2025·天津卷）My great grandmother received the dollhouse (玩具小屋) from a family friend back in the late 1800s. It was then passed down from generation to generation. I was seven when I discovered it underneath the tree on Christmas morning. In our house, Mom set up a sewing area. I sat at her sewing machine, my feet barely reaching the presser foot. Mom bent over me, her hands on mine, gently guiding small bits of cloth under the needle to create dollhouse bedding. She also taught me to make mini-blankets. With a little paint and glue, Mom demonstrated that anything could be turned into dollhouse furniture. I learnt to view the world as a place of possibility. I spent hours of my girlhood sitting before my dollhouse, telling made-up stories, and creating miniatures (缩微模型). But eventually school activities took over, and the dollhouse was moved to the attic (阁楼). Over the next 40 years, the storytelling skills I’d practiced with the dollhouse grew into novel writing skills, and I developed a career as an author. One day, after hours of working on my fourth book, I took a break by surfing the Internet and happened to notice the beautiful dollhouses people posted on social media. They reminded me of mine. I went to the attic, brought it back to my room and started updating it. During the mindless hours of sewing and furnishing (布置家具), I listened to audiobooks about the history of dollhouses, learning that they were not invented for play. There’s a long, rich history of people in hardship turning to dollhouses to find comfort. They weren’t produced as toys until mass production became standard after 1945. This inspired me to create a novel where art saves the day. The truth was I myself needed art to save the day. Mom was then slipping away from me owing to progressive memory loss. The only topic we could discuss with any genuine joy was the update of the dollhouse. She loved retelling its history — those old memories. Mom didn’t find it strange at all that her 50-year-old daughter was updating the dollhouse. She just thought it fun and beautiful. And it was. It was a world where Mom and I were at our best together. 1. What did the author’s mother teach her to do? A. To sew and create miniatures. B. To add imaginary figures to the dollhouse. C. To make up fairy tales set in the dollhouse. D. To do oil paintings and glue them onto the little walls. 2. Why did the author decide to update the dollhouse decades later? A. She intended to follow the trend on social media. B. She was eager to start a new career as a toy designer. C. She felt the urge to compete with other dollhouse makers. D. She was inspired by people sharing their dollhouses online. 3. What did the author learn about dollhouses from the audiobooks? A. They were initially created for play. B. People once sought comfort in them. C. Rich people sold them for money during difficult times. D. A uniform standard for their production was set in 1945. 4. What role did the dollhouse play in strengthening the emotional ties between the author and her aging mother? A. A reminder of their childhood dreams. B. A mirror of the eventful family history. C. A tool to bring back good old memories. D. A means to improve her mother’s memory. 5. What would be the best title for the passage? A. The Dollhouse: A Lifelong Toy B. Growing up with the Dollhouse C. The Dollhouse: More Than Just a Toy D. Dollhouse Making and Novel Writing 02（2024·天津卷）Our teacher, Miss Chevalier was a small woman, with a moon face, fatty fingers and curls that sprang straight up from her head, hence the funny name “Poodle (卷毛狗)”. She taught in our reading club. Sometimes she would look in and ask what we were reading — not to check but to know. That’s what happened the day my club was reading aloud a poem by Henry Longfellow. I guess I was better than the others, for Miss Chevalier asked a while later, “Addie, I was wondering if you would recite the whole poem to the Saturday evening’s club.” She said a famous professor was going to give a lecture about the poet, and a presentation of that poem would be a fresh way to start. She asked me to memorize it. “But that shouldn’t be a problem for a child of your ability,” she added. I’m telling you, my happy feet barely touched the ground all the way home. To me, that was the biggest thing ever and I soon learned the whole poem by heart, well prepared for our first rehearsal. I was desperately nervous when I went to her office the next day. But the good thing was she always had the smile that would make you feel like you just did something right. Halfway through the poem, Miss Chevalier stopped me and asked if I knew what “impetuous” meant. Despite her encouraging smile, I wanted to sink through the floor because I was unsure about its pronunciation as well as its meaning. Miss Chevalier pretended not to have noticed my red face and handed me a dictionary, asking me to read its definition aloud. “Impetuous has two definitions: rushing with great force or violence; acting suddenly, with little thought. ” She asked me which one fitted the poem. I read both definitions over again, trying to figure it out, but Miss Chevalier must have read my mind. “There is no wrong answer,” she said, “I want to know your opinion, Addie.” Hesitantly, I said, “Maybe… both.” She liked that. “One has to be impetuous both ways or they wouldn’t dare to face up to any challenge. Would you call yourself impetuous?” I knew she was asking for an opinion. “My mother thinks being impetuous for girls is improper, anyway.” She said my mom was somewhat right about that. “But girls should also be wise to take up challenges when needed. I believe you are such a girl.” After that, I would never call Miss Chevalier “Poodle” again. 1. Why was Addie asked to recite Longfellow’s poem to the Saturday evening’s club? A. To help with her performance. B. To get the attention of her classmates. C. To set an example for the rest of the class. D. To try a new way to warm up the coming lecture. 2. Why did Addie feel happy on her way home? A. An event was going to happen. B. She was fully ready for her first rehearsal. C. She gained recognition for her performance. D. She memorized the poem sooner than others. 3. What can be learned about Miss Chevalier’s personality from the way she treated Addie? A. Caring and considerate. B. Easygoing and carefree. C. Curious and open-minded. D. Disciplined and strong-willed. 4. How did Miss Chevalier succeed in making Addie truly understand the word “impetuous”? A. By asking Addie to define it in her own way. B. By interpreting the two definitions separately. C. By consulting the dictionary for its definitions. D. By linking its definitions to Addie’s situations. 5. What is the probable reason that Addie would never call Miss Chevalier “Poodle” again? A. She followed her mother’s advice. B. She made up her mind to be a polite girl. C. She was touched by Miss Chevalier’s trust. D. She felt Miss Chevalier’s teaching funny. 03（2023·天津3月卷）One freezing morning last February, I walked through Ontario Place. Trees were frosted sculptures. Large chunks of ice floated in the lake. Then I saw a group of people in bathing suits bouncing up and down in the water. They held hands, shouting and yelling into the sky. They looked and sounded so free. I’ve always found cold water thrilling. The shock of it is like pressing a switch. It seems to reset my body and soul. And last winter, I definitely needed a reset. I woke up most mornings with a dull, grey feeling as I forced myself out of bed to start the day. I needed something to cheer myself up, but I didn’t know what, until that day. The ice warriors (勇士) emerged from the lake, their skin steaming. Trembling, they were yet laughing and hugging each other. I called out:  “You guys are awesome!” One woman waved back, “Come and join us! We’ re here every Monday morning.” The night before my first dip (游泳), I was excited and nervous. Cold water was one thing, but this icy lake was a whole other level. Should I back out? Eventually, I got up in the dark and drove to the meeting spot. After some wild warm up, I charged into the lake along with others. We yelled into the sky. Teeth chattering heart rates slowing, fingers and toes going numb (麻木), we stayed there for somewhere between two and five minutes. Knowing it was my first time, people cheered me on. It felt amazing. I was stupid with cold, but I couldn’t remember the last time I’d felt so happy. Now I go dipping almost every day, and I’ve come to long for that moment when the cold becomes a second skin and my internal voice goes silent. Apart from the thrill of those first heart-stopping dives, which, ironically, saved me from going under, what has drawn me is this community of generous, open-hearted souls. We laughed together, often, but from the stories we’ve shared about ourselves, I know I’m not the only one who faces life’s challenges. Holding hands in the freezing lake, we looked out for each other last winter and will do so through this one. It won’t fix everything in our lives—but for some reason, it helps. At the end of each session I return home feeling stronger, lighter, more able to carry on. As another winter sets in, I’m more than ready to embrace the cold again. 1. When the author saw the people in the lake, her feeling can be best described as __________ A. nervous B. amazed C. frightened D. calm 2. Why did the author think of joining the swimmers? A. To expand her social circle. B. To lift her spirits again. C. To adapt to the cold weather. D. To prepare for a new career 3. What can be learnt about the author’s first dipping? A. She hesitated a bit before going. B. She suffered from a heart problem. C. She stayed in cold water too long. D. She regretted not doing enough warm up. 4. What change has cold water swimming brought about in the author? A. She is more intelligent. B. She gets more competitive. C. She becomes a better storyteller. D. She regains her inner peace. 5. What message does the author most likely want to convey? A. Severe cold builds up character B. Group wisdom brightens our life. C. Tackling the odds together cures. D. Doing sports promotes friendship. 04（2023·天津6月卷）I looked through the window of the charming little violin shop, and my heart began to race. I'd been out to dinner that evening. Since it wasn't dark yet after the meal, I decided to walk home from the restaurant. I had traveled that way before, yet I had never noticed that old little shop. But that night I felt drawn to the violin shop the moment I came across it. I wiped the dirt from the window to get a better look inside. Several violins hung from the dark walls, quietly waiting to be chosen. As my eyes rested on them, I felt as though I were looking through a window into my own past. My childhood was all about the pursuits I had attempted, most of which had been chosen by Mom. She was like, “Join the swim team, Tara. Your sister is a good swimmer;surely you will be, too. ”What she refused to acknowledge, however, was that I was visibly afraid of water. Every Saturday I begged Mom not to make me go to the swim meet, but had little chance of success. That said, with a bang of the starting gun, I would dive into the cold water with all my strength and swim to the other side of the pool as fast as I could, only to find that the other swimmers slid past me. I would have given it up if I had not heard my father's encouraging shouts to cheer me on. When at last my hand would grab the edge of the pool, he would always be there with a warm, dry towel, telling me how proud he was of my desperate efforts. Then came a turning point in my life the day our school orchestra( 管弦乐队)visited my class, and gave a demonstration. The drums annoyed me. The flutes(笛子)bored me. But the violin…ah, the violin. It made the sweetest sound I'd ever heard!My heart was dancing along with its flowing tune. For the first time in my life, I went so wild with joy. Tightly holding the permission slip from the orchestra director, I ran all the way home after school, and shakily handed it to my parents with a fear that they might dismiss my desire. They didn't. Mom was thrilled to see me finally excited about something, and Dad winked(眨眼示意)at me while eagerly signing the slip. I began practicing the violin with great passion, and rose quickly in ability. Before long I had won the first seat in the community orchestra … 1. What did the sight of the violins in that little shop bring to Tara's mind? A. Her miserable past. B. An unforgettable sport event. C. The stories behind the violins. D. Her childhood memory. 2. What Dad did for Tara during the swimming competition implies that he is ________.

The steady improvement in her taste. B. Her strong desire for success. C. Her natural gift for music. D. The rapid progress in her ability. 5. What message does Tara's story convey? A. It's never too young to learn. B. A passionate interest works wonders. C. Hard work will pay off in the long run. D. Like mother, like daughter. 05 (2022天津卷) I’m an 18-year-old pre-medical student, tall nd good-looking, with two short story books and quite a number of essays my credit. Why am I singing such praises of myself? Just to explain that he attainment of self-pride comes from a great deal of self-love, and to attain it, one must first learn to accept oneself as one is. That was where my struggle began. Born and raised in Africa，I had always taken my African origin as burden. My self-dislike was further fueled when my family had to relocate to Norway, where I attended a high school. Compared to all the white girls around me, with their golden hair and delicate lips, I ,a black girl, had curly hair and full, red lips. My nose often had a thin sheet of sweat on it, whatever the weather was. I just wanted to bury myself in my shell crying “I’m so different!” What also contributed to my self-dislike was my occasional stuttering (口吃), which had weakened my self-confidence. It always stood between me and any fine opportunity. I’d taken it as an excuse to avoid any public speaking sessions, and unknowingly let it rule over me. Fortunately, as I grew older, there came a turning point. One day a white girl caught my eye on the school bus when she suddenly turned back. To my astonishment, she had a thin sheet of sweat on her nose too, and it was in November! “Wow,” I whispered to myself, “this isn’t a genetic(遗传的) disorder after all. It’s perfectly normal.” Days later, my life took an-other twist(转折). Searching the internet for stuttering cures, I accidentally learned that such famous people as Isaac Newton and Winston Churchill also stuttered. I was greatly relieved and then an idea suddenly hit me—if I’m smart, I shouldn’t allow my stuttering to stand between me and my success. Another boost to my self-confidence came days later as I was watching the news about Oprah Winfrey, the famous talkshow host and writer—she’s black too! Whenever I think of her story and my former dislike of my color, I’m practically filled with shame. Today, I’ve grown to accept what I am with pride; it simply gives me feeling of uniqueness. The idea of self-love has taken on a whole new meaning for me: there’s always something fantastic about us, and what w need to do is learn to appreciate it. 1. What affected the author’s adjustment to her school life in Norway! A. Her appearance B. Social discrimɪnation. C. Her changing emotions. D. The climate in Norway. 2. What did the author’s occasional stuttering bring about according on Paragraph 3? A. Her lack of self-confidence. B. Her loss of interest in school. C. Her unwillingness to greet her classmates.D. Her desire for chances to improve herself. 3. How did the author feel on noticing the similarity between her and ne girl on the bus? A. Blessed and proud. B. Confused and afraid. C. Amazed and relieved. D. Shocked and ashamed. 4. What lesson did the author learn from the cases of Newton and Churchill? A. Great minds speak alike. B. Stuttering is no barrier to success. C. Wisdom counts more than hard work. D. Famous people can’t live with their weaknesses. 5. What can best summarize the message contained in the passage? A. Pride comes before a fall. B. Where there is a will, there is a way. C. Self-acceptance is based on the love for oneself. D. Self-love is key to the attainment of self-pride. 06 (2021天津卷) About five weeks ago, I noticed the skin of our pet lizard was growing dusty. It worried me. I reported the strange surface on the skin of the lizard to my husband and children the next morning. Seconds later, our lizard emerged from its tank with its old skin flowing behind it. I didn't think about it much until a morning last week when I knocked my favorite teapot off the table. It burst into hundreds of pieces. As I swept up the mess, I wondered why we had been breaking so many things over the months. The destruction started three months ago. It was my husband's birthday. He had just lost his job. The uncertainty was starting to wear on us, so I wanted to do something special. “Let's make a cake for Dad!” I cried. My kids screamed with joy. We baked, iced and sprinkled for most of the day. Candles on the cake! Balloons on the walls! Flowers on the table! Two hours before my husband came back home from another job interview, my daughter climbed up to grab a glass vase from a high shelf. It fell and crashed beside the cake. Tiny pieces of glass were everywhere. She sobbed loudly as I threw the cake away. My husband had banana pudding for his birthday. Three days ago, the light in our living room suddenly went out. After several frustrating hours of unsuccessful attempts to fix it, my husband suggested watching the Michael Jordan documentary series The Last Dance. The poignancy of Jordan retiring from his beloved basketball to play baseball and what had pushed him to make such a tough decision took me by surprise. As I watched him take off his basketball uniform and replace it with a baseball uniform, I saw him leaving behind the layer that no longer served him, just as our lizard had. Neither of them chose the moment that had transformed them. But they had to live with who they were after everything was different. Just like us. I realized that we have to learn to leave the past behind. Humans do not shed skin as easily as other animals. The beginning of change is upsetting. The process is tiring. Damage changes us before we are ready. I see our lizard, raw and nearly new. Jordan said that no matter how it ends, it starts with hope. With our tender, hopeful skin, that is where we begin. 1. What can we learn about the pet lizard from Paragraph 1? A. Its tank grew dirty. B. Its old skin came off. C. It got a skin disease. D. It went missing. 2. Why did the author's husband have banana pudding for his birthday? A. The birthday cake was ruined. B. The author made good puddings. C. Pudding was his favorite dessert. D. They couldn't afford a birthday cake. 3. Why does the author mention The Last Dance in the passage? A. To prove a theory. B. To define a concept. C. To develop the theme. D. To provide the background. 4. The underlined part "leaving behind the layer" in Paragraph 8 can be understood as . A. letting go of the past B. looking for a new job C. getting rid of a bad habit D. giving up an opportunity 5. What does the author most likely want to tell us? A. Love of family helps us survive great hardships. B. It's not the end of the world if we break things. C. We should move on no matter what happens. D. Past experiences should be treasured. 三、阅读理解名校模拟（记叙文） 模拟专区：做好题才有好成绩!练技能,补漏洞,提分数,强信心! 01（25-26高三上·天津·期中）When Clara took over her grandfather’s Brooklyn bookshop in 2018, the first thing she removed wasn’t the outdated books, but the WiFi router (路由器). Regulars protested. A lawyer even said he would spend his money elsewhere. But Clara believed that “books need our full attention, just like loved ones do.” She wanted people to focus on reading. At first, her decision seemed risky, especially when other shops were closing. However, something wonderful happened. By 2020, the shop had become a quiet and comfortable place for people. Teenagers read books on the carpets, forgetting about their phones. A retired judge started a poetry group on Saturdays where people shared poems from memory. The COVID-19 pandemic (流行病) should have been their death knell. But Clara had an idea: she created “Survival Bundles” — sets of books with her personal notes. To her astonishment, many people, even busy tech managers, loved them. A CEO said it was the first real book he had held since university. Clara realized people were “hungry for a real, touchable experience.” Last winter, I found her confronted with a new threat. A real estate (房地产) developer bought the building and greatly increased the rent overnight. However, Clara’s customers came to help. They protested outside the shop. The retired judge offered free legal help. Even the lawyer who once complained decided to support her and funded their legal defense. In court, Clara used a quote from the writer Melville: “We cannot live only for ourselves. Many things connect us.” The judge, who was part of the poetry group, agreed that the rent increase was unreasonable. Clara won. The shop now displays the court’s decision next to valuable books. It shows that it is our shared human bonds that provide the deepest strength to face contemporary difficulties. 1．What made Clara’s approach to running the bookshop special? A．Satisfying the needs of customers. B．Introducing modern technology. C．Focusing on rare book collections. D．Prioritizing full concentration. 2．What does the underlined phrase “death knell” in paragraph 3 mean? A．A moment of celebration. B．A desperate cry for survival. C．An event marking the end.

C．To stress the mass support Clara received. D．To explain the difficulty Clara came across. 4．What does Clara’s use of the Melville quote in court primarily serve to do? A．To present her deep knowledge of literature to the judge. B．To highlight the value of community bonds in her defense. C．To emphasize the legal definition of unreasonable rent increases. D．To prove that physical books hold more value than digital content. 5．What can we learn from the story? A．Profit-driven decisions may lead to unexpected outcomes.

With his red cape (披肩) covering his shoulders, Austin Perine feeds the hungry and homeless population throughout the city in an effort to “show love” to those who need “food and smiles”. “Show love”, according to Austin, has become his superhero motto. His superhero name? President Austin, of course. Austin’s father, TJ Perine, told CNN that Austin has always been compassionate (有同情心的), as he acts like a “little dad” for his brother, Taylor. However, it wasn’t until Austin learned that people are experiencing homelessness that he decided to share what he has with the rest of his community. TJ noted that Austin’s first knowledge about homelessness came after watching a nature documentary about a baby panda on television. “Austin and I were watching an animal show and there was a mother panda that was leaving her baby,” TJ said. “Austin began to get concerned, and I told him that the baby panda would be homeless.” To better teach his son about homelessness, TJ took the young boy to the city shelter, at which point Austin asked, “Can we feed them?” In response, TJ took Austin to Burger King where he enthusiastically volunteered to pay for the chicken sandwiches using his weekly pocket money, thereby giving up new toys that week. Austin and his father have plans to expand their community outreach efforts so they can also fight homelessness at its roots. They have also started a GoFundMe as part of their Show Love Foundation. “We’ve gotten a lot of support from the country, and what we want to do is expand and do more than just giving out sandwiches,” TJ told CNN, saying that, finally, he and Austin hope to build a service center that deals with the many causes and symptoms of homelessness. “Mental illness, drug abuse, addiction, and things like that,” he said. “Austin and I want to build a service center and get some specialists in there that can actually help these people get back into the workforce.” 1．What can we know about Austin from the first paragraph?

As soon as we arrived, I had this incredible revelation. “I know all about this area —the food, the language. I know all about the Schwarzwald, the Black Forest,” I said to his German family. “How do you know about this?” they asked, in disbelief. That was the first time it dawned on me how much I knew about the rest of the world, and how prepared I was for it, just from growing up in New York City — that I had been everywhere before I’d ever actually gone anywhere. I grew up in the Chelsea Projects, 288 10th Avenue at 26th Street. A lot of kids there were first generation Americans with immigrant parents who were still speaking Yiddish or Chinese or Portuguese, or just name a language, and they were speaking it. You ate every imaginable food from the rest of the world there. You were exposed to all different kinds of traditions. It wasn’t just that. The whole city was a classroom. All over town, you learned stuff you didn’t even know you were learning. You didn’t have to be rich to learn it, either. My mom was a teacher — a great Head Start teacher — and she made sure I partook of everything New York had to offer people who didn’t have any money, because she knew it was the greatest education in the world. We went to all the museums, which were free back then. We’d ride the bus to Lincoln Center, before it was Lincoln Center, and watch dancers dancing there. Or we’d take the train to Coney Island. Those trips are among my fondest memories. New York City played a big part in making me who I am. It’s where I learned that I could pursue whatever I loved, but that I couldn’t be a slacker (偷懒的人). The city is everything you’ve heard it is. It’s crazy, it’s horrible, it’s magnificent, it’s beautiful. It’s a real live wire, hard to leave. 1．What contributed to the author’s knowledge of Germany? A．Her childhood experience. B．Her boyfriend’s descriptions. C．Her past travel adventures. D．Her previous school education. 2．What can we learn about the author’s neighborhood? A．It was a tourist hotspot for traditions. B．It was famous for its food and restaurants. C．Kids there were born outside of America. D．Parents there spoke their mother tongues. 3．What did New York provide? A．Diverse learning opportunities. B．Quality education programs. C．Financial support for parents. D．Welfare benefits for the poor. 4．What can be inferred from the above passage? A．The author knew Black Forest well since she had been there before. B．Most Chelsea immigrants come from European nations. C．Mom chose free resources just to save money. D．New York city helped the author understand the world well. 5．From which book is the text most likely taken? A．Into Unknown Skies. B．Never Can Say Goodbye. C．Mom is Always by My Side. D．Falling for the Hometown Girl. 04（25-26高三上·天津河北·期中）At 20, I was a lifeguard and swimming teacher at the council pool in Cambridge. I told the club coach about my dream of swimming the Channel (英吉利海峡). She looked me over and said, “Find another dream.” Her words hurt me deeply. I wasn’t built for long-distance open-water swims. To swim distances, you need a degree of body fat density, buoyancy (浮力) and power. I had none of this. I realised the coach was probably right, and I let my dream fade away. But what I couldn’t have known was what would take its place, and how rewarding it would be. One day, I was asked to teach adults who wanted to learn swimming but had a terrible fear of water. My first students were between 23 and 79 years old. Flora, the oldest, had never had time to swim; others still held on to the pain from childhood accidents or moments of shame. It requires real courage to share those fears, and even more to undress and step into the pool. For this reason, there were no spectators. During those evening sessions, the pool was silent and still, and the building transformed into a peaceful temple. By week three, they were waist- deep in the shallow end, holding floats as they walked for 10 meters to the other side. The last one to leave was Raj, who was much bigger than me and was terrified of the exercise most. By the seventh week, he was swimming, grasping the float, kicking the water hard with his legs. I loved these sessions. Watching them overcome a deep-rooted fear was deeply pleasing. By summer, we moved to an outdoor pool surrounded by trees. The cold water shocked them, but soon they realised they were out of the indoor pool’s calm and safety. They were doing what they’d never imagined, and it was glorious. What it took my class to overcome something so challenging — the hard work and willpower — stayed with me for the rest of my life. None of them were ever going to swim the Channel, but of course, I never told them that. But it no longer mattered. I had discovered that helping someone cross their own private ocean of fear was a triumph far greater than any Channel swim. 1．Why did the author give up his dream of swimming the Channel? A．He failed to get professional guidance. B．He got injured in an open-water swim. C．He found a more rewarding alternative. D．He lacked the required physical qualities. 2．What did the author’s adult students have in common? A．They had a deep fear of water. B．They hated any form of exercise. C．They wanted to improve their health. D．They had never tried swimming before. 3．Which of the following best describes the students’ process of learning to swim? A．Smooth and efficient.

B．Courage to pursue his own dream. C．Deep friendship with his students. D．Better swimming teaching skills. 5．What message does the story convey? A．Physical limits define one’s potential. B．Helping others brings unexpected fulfillment. C．Professional advice should never be questioned. D．Childhood experiences determine future success. 05（25-26高三上·天津·期中）When I was a child I was often told what not to eat. “You don’t want to get fat” was on constant repeat throughout my childhood. It really messed up my relationship with food — something that took me years to overcome. Because of this, I’m careful not to connect what my kids weigh with their worth as people. I encourage my daughter to make healthy snack choices and often dissuade (劝阻) her from a second dessert. But one day when I heard her saying “I think I’m too fat,” my heart sank. It made me wonder if giving her advice on snacks was having an unintentionally negative impact. According to Charlotte Markey, a professor of psychology, food is one of the rare subjects where, as parents, saying less is more. “There are so many things in parenting that are good to talk through, but I’m not convinced that food is one of them,” she says. “It just creates some worries and insecurities in kids that aren’t necessarily healthy.” Instead, she recommends applying a well-known concept among nutrition experts called the “Division of Responsibility,” where parents provide a variety of mostly healthy foods to their kids at fixed times, and the kids themselves decide what and how much they want to consume — even if that means occasionally eating more cookies than carrots. Allowing kids to eat what they want also exposes them to the natural consequences of their decisions. “When your child says, ‘My stomach hurts,’ you can say, ‘Well you had a lot of sugary foods and you might feel better if you made some other choices,’” says Markey. “Let them feel like they have some control over it.” I’ve been trying out these strategies and I’ve found that when I’m less restrictive, they do make better decisions. “Feeding is a long game,” says Markey. “The food you have available makes a huge difference. Even if they don’t eat it, they’re seeing it. And then all of a sudden it clicks.” 1．What can be inferred about the author from the first paragraph? A．She is upset by her kids’ weight. B．She is particular about what she eats. C．She is interested in making food. D．She is critical of the way she was fed. 2．Which of the following would Markey disapprove of? A．Explaining to kids the risks of taking snacks. B．Offering various foods to kids at fixed times. C．Allowing kids to eat cookies occasionally. D．Talking with kids about school at mealtimes. 3．What should kids do according to the “Division of Responsibility”? A．Eat up what is provided for them. B．Share their food with other kids. C．Make diet decisions on their own. D．Help their parents do the dishes. 4．What does the author think of the strategies she has been following? A．Costly. B．Workable. C．Complex. D．Contradictory. 5．What does the passage focus on? A．Parents are supposed to strictly control children’s diet to avoid health problems. B．Discussing food choices openly with kids is the best way to ensure healthy habits. C．Children need constant guidance to understand nutritional values so as to keep healthy. D．Offering children freedom in food choices helps build a healthy relationship with eating. 06（25-26高三上·天津河西·期中）After their three children grew up and left home, Margaret Thompson and her husband, Kenneth, stretched their legs together on walking holidays in Switzerland. In Interlaken, they would head up the mountain and watch the paragliders (滑翔伞运动员) launch themselves into the sky. Back in town, in a large park, they watched them return to the earth. “Some day I’d love to do that.” Thompson told Kenneth. But there was always so much to do in Interlaken. Besides, Thompson didn’t know if Kenneth would have enjoyed it. “He was not so keen on heights as I was,” she said. So she continued to watch the paragliders take flight and land. Kenneth died in 2005. Eleven years later, Thompson finally took to the skies herself, being a paraglider at the age of 80. Although some people got scared while flying, she said she just felt free. Thompson did her second paraglide when she turned 85, and raised nearly £2,000 for a local charity. Before leaving Interlaken after her second flight, Thompson asked the organizers about the age limit for paragliding. They said, “Any age, as long as you’re fit.” Thompson, now 86, plans her third flight for when she is 90. Thompson grew up living above her parents’ shop in Belfast. At 18, she helped in the shop while studying for her music diploma in Stranmillis University College in South Belfast. She started to teach the piano to local children, and at the height of her teaching she gave 70 lessons a week. She still has 15 pupils on her books. “Over the years I’ve had so many that I’m teaching their children now.” Is she scared of getting older? “Fear? No. People say, ‘Isn’t getting old awful?’ I say, ‘No. You are free to do more things that you want to do.’” “People might worry about falling, it being the end of them. But that doesn’t bother me at all. When it’s your time, it’s your time, no matter where you are,” Thompson added. 1．What can we know about Thompson from the first two paragraphs? A．She appreciated being alone. B．She was crazy about paragliding. C．She often worked overtime. D．She didn’t fit in with her husband. 2．Which of the following best describes Thompson? A．Courageous and optimistic. B．Unexceptional and open-minded. C．Romantic and cautious. D．Considerate and humorous. 3．What is the main function of the 5th paragraph introducing Thompson’s personal experience? A．To highlight that Thompson’s love for piano teaching started when she was 18. B．To show Thompson has kept an active and passionate life across different ages. C．To prove Interlaken is a place that helps Thompson stay energetic in old age. D．To prove that Thompson was very popular with local children. 4．What can we learn from Thompson’s story? A．Aging makes a difference. B．Time and tide wait for no man. C．Rome wasn’t built in a day. D．It’s never too late to fulfill a dream. 5．Why does the author mention Thompson’s words in the last paragraph? A．To explain she avoids talking about the negative sides of aging. B．To prove she only focuses on outdoor activities to kill time in old age. C．To show getting old isn’t unpleasant. D．To indicate she has to force herself to stay active despite disliking it. 07（25-26高三上·天津·期中）In 2019, I began learning Chinese at the Confucius Institute in Rome. Already fluent in several European languages, I sought a new challenge — something truly different that would expand my worldview. Chinese, with its intricate characters resembling abstract art, melodic tones that sounded like singing, and sentence structures reversing European logic, fascinated me from the first lesson. However, my interest soon branched out beyond linguistics into China’s cultural heritage. I started with Tang Dynasty poetry, renowned for its concise elegance and emotive power. Poems by Li Bai and Du Fu introduced me to China’s poetic tradition. Intrigued by its roots, I then turned to earlier works like the Shi Jing (The Book of Songs), an anthology of poems often attributed as one of the earliest reflections of the Chinese soul. Later, I explored the Chu Ci (Songs of Chu, or Poetry of the South), further broadening my understanding of regional literary expressions. My classes soon multiplied, as I took courses on Chinese history, literature, philosophy and art history. Confucianism’s emphasis on social harmony, Daoism’s natural spontaneity, and Buddhism’s cyclical worldview formed a philosophical trial that explained many modern Chinese values. Yet it was Chinese art history, especially scroll painting, that truly fired my imagination. The graceful brush-strokes, the interplay of ink and water, and the visual storytelling contained within those scrolls made me see art in an entirely new light. During my journey, I was particularly drawn to the stories of influential women in Chinese history, such as military leader Fu Hao and Emperor Wu Zetian. Learning about these extraordinary women expanded my understanding of China’s societal transformations and how women’s contributions have often been overlooked, yet undeniably crucial. These discoveries inspired me to create a bilingual English-Montenegrin magazine about Chinese culture. Unlike academic journals, it would mix thorough research with engaging stories — featuring Tang poetry analyses alongside profiles of contemporary Chinese innovators. A planned column “From Terra Cotta to Tech” would trace historical continuity, while a culinary section might explore how Sichuan peppercorns traveled the Silk Road. This publishing venture (活动) is both exciting and challenging. From selecting articles to editing translations, I’m constantly learning. And that, in itself, is part of what fascinates me so much about China: its cultural depth is an ever-expanding puzzle — one that can never be fully completed, but becomes more fascinating with each piece we add. Ultimately, my hope is that by creating this bilingual magazine, I can contribute to a mutual understanding. 1．What initially motivated the author to learn Chinese? A．The complexity of the Chinese language. B．The desire to become a linguistic teacher. C．The influence of several European languages. D．The opportunity to study at the Confucius Institute. 2．In her exploration of Chinese culture, which of the following topics does the author NOT cover? A．The principles of Confucianism and Taoism. B．The expressive qualities of Tang Dynasty poetry. C．The artistic skills involved in Chinese calligraphy. D．The storytelling elements in Chinese scroll painting. 3．What does the author find most significant about the stories of influential women in Chinese history? A．Their success in challenging traditional gender roles. B．Their contributions to China’s societal transformations. C．Their artistic achievements in both poetry and painting. D．Their overlooked yet crucial thoughts of Chinese culture. 4．What makes the author’s magazine different from academic journals? A．Use of bilingual content and comments from readers. B．Exclusion of serious and deep historical analysis. C．Focus mainly on modern technology and innovations. D．Integration of academic depth and appealing stories. 5．Why does the author compare “Chinese cultural depth” to “an ever-expanding puzzle” in the last paragraph? A．To emphasize that Chinese culture is too complicated to understand. B．To criticize the lack of systematic study of Chinese traditions. C．To demonstrate that Chinese culture is disconnected and incomplete. D．To highlight its complexity and the endless opportunities for discovery. 08（25-26高三上·天津·期中）Elizabeth Keyton, originally from Georgia, the USA, married Arjun, a Malayali. She wanted to learn his mother tongue to strengthen their family bond. In the process, she created an Instagram page called “Elikutty” through which she now teaches Malayalam to thousands of people. “I always loved hearing people speak different languages, but when my mother from Serbia spoke Serbian at home, my father showed no interest in learning it, leaving frequent misunderstanding and communicating problems. That’s when I decided that if I met someone from a different culture, I would try to learn his language, which would be good for us and our family,” says Elizabeth to The Better India. “So when my relationship with Arjun started looking serious because of difficulties in communicating, I decided to learn Malayalam. However, I found that there weren’t enough resources to learn the language. Most books available were outdated or made for children. A small amount of material was often too difficult for casual (非正式的) language learners like me,” says the 35-year-old. “Later, I struggled to find a teacher suited to my needs and some grammar resources online.” As an English teacher, Elizabeth used her teaching skills to learn Malayalam. She wrote notes and made doodles (涂鸦) to learn the letters. “For me, the best way to learn is by explaining it to someone else, so I made an Instagram page in 2018 to share my notes and small drawings,” she says. Starting out with 1,000 followers in 2018, her Instagram page has over 70,000 followers today. She is pleased to make learning Malayalam fun and easy. “I have seen what happens when languages are ignored in my own house. My brother doesn’t know Serbian, which means his family won’t. It’s important to know English as it is a global language and helps when you go abroad, but the same respect should be given to native languages. They are the true way to a person’s heart.” says Elizabeth.(333) 1．Why did Elizabeth decide to learn Malayalam? A．To build a foundation for her career. B．To improve her relationship with Arjun. C．To better communicate with her mother. D．To satisfy her interest in foreign languages. 2．What difficulty did Elizabeth meet during her learning? A．Rejection from her husband. B．Failure to find a native partner. C．Lack of suitable learning resources. D．Inability to find a professional teacher. 3．What was Elizabeth’s Instagram. page used to do at first? A．Collect learning tips. B．Help her in self-study. C．Practice small drawings. D．Teach others Malayalam. 4．What is Elizabeth’s opinion on language learning? A．Using social media as the primary tool. B．Respecting our inner thinking at all times. C．Always putting the family’s common language first. D．Treating official languages and mother tongues equally. 5．What is the main purpose of this passage? A．To advertise Elizabeth’s Instagram page B．To discuss the difficulties of learning Malayalam C．To tell a story about how language learning strengthened family bonds D．To compare different methods of language learning 09（25-26高三上·天津·期中）A young family who has never camped in their life have sold everything they own to start a tour of Europe in a motorhome.

It was then passed down from generation to generation. I was seven when I discovered it underneath the tree on Christmas morning. In our house, Mom set up a sewing area. I sat at her sewing machine, my feet barely reaching the presser foot. Mom bent over me, her hands on mine, gently guiding small bits of cloth under the needle to create dollhouse bedding. She also taught me to make mini-blankets. With a little paint and glue, Mom demonstrated that anything could be turned into dollhouse furniture. I learnt to view the world as a place of possibility. I spent hours of my girlhood sitting before my dollhouse, telling made-up stories, and creating miniatures (缩微模型). But eventually school activities took over, and the dollhouse was moved to the attic (阁楼). Over the next 40 years, the storytelling skills I’d practiced with the dollhouse grew into novel writing skills, and I developed a career as an author. One day, after hours of working on my fourth book, I took a break by surfing the Internet and happened to notice the beautiful dollhouses people posted on social media. They reminded me of mine. I went to the attic, brought it back to my room and started updating it. During the mindless hours of sewing and furnishing (布置家具), I listened to audiobooks about the history of dollhouses, learning that they were not invented for play. There’s a long, rich history of people in hardship turning to dollhouses to find comfort. They weren’t produced as toys until mass production became standard after 1945. This inspired me to create a novel where art saves the day. The truth was I myself needed art to save the day. Mom was then slipping away from me owing to progressive memory loss. The only topic we could discuss with any genuine joy was the update of the dollhouse. She loved retelling its history — those old memories. Mom didn’t find it strange at all that her 50-year-old daughter was updating the dollhouse. She just thought it fun and beautiful. And it was. It was a world where Mom and I were at our best together. 1. What did the author’s mother teach her to do? A. To sew and create miniatures. B. To add imaginary figures to the dollhouse. C. To make up fairy tales set in the dollhouse. D. To do oil paintings and glue them onto the little walls. 2. Why did the author decide to update the dollhouse decades later? A. She intended to follow the trend on social media. B. She was eager to start a new career as a toy designer. C. She felt the urge to compete with other dollhouse makers. D. She was inspired by people sharing their dollhouses online. 3. What did the author learn about dollhouses from the audiobooks? A. They were initially created for play. B. People once sought comfort in them. C. Rich people sold them for money during difficult times. D. A uniform standard for their production was set in 1945. 4. What role did the dollhouse play in strengthening the emotional ties between the author and her aging mother? A. A reminder of their childhood dreams. B. A mirror of the eventful family history. C. A tool to bring back good old memories. D. A means to improve her mother’s memory. 5. What would be the best title for the passage? A. The Dollhouse: A Lifelong Toy B. Growing up with the Dollhouse C. The Dollhouse: More Than Just a Toy D. Dollhouse Making and Novel Writing 【答案】1. A 2. D 3. B 4. C 5. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者与玩具小屋之间的故事，包括其来源、作者小时候与母亲一起制作玩具小屋内的物品、长大后因玩具小屋而走上写作道路，以及多年后因母亲记忆力衰退而重新更新玩具小屋，并在此过程中与母亲共度美好时光的经历。 1.细节理解题。根据第二段中“Mom bent over me, her hands on mine, gently guiding small bits of cloth under the needle to create dollhouse bedding.

She taught in our reading club. Sometimes she would look in and ask what we were reading — not to check but to know. That’s what happened the day my club was reading aloud a poem by Henry Longfellow. I guess I was better than the others, for Miss Chevalier asked a while later, “Addie, I was wondering if you would recite the whole poem to the Saturday evening’s club.” She said a famous professor was going to give a lecture about the poet, and a presentation of that poem would be a fresh way to start. She asked me to memorize it. “But that shouldn’t be a problem for a child of your ability,” she added. I’m telling you, my happy feet barely touched the ground all the way home. To me, that was the biggest thing ever and I soon learned the whole poem by heart, well prepared for our first rehearsal. I was desperately nervous when I went to her office the next day. But the good thing was she always had the smile that would make you feel like you just did something right. Halfway through the poem, Miss Chevalier stopped me and asked if I knew what “impetuous” meant. Despite her encouraging smile, I wanted to sink through the floor because I was unsure about its pronunciation as well as its meaning. Miss Chevalier pretended not to have noticed my red face and handed me a dictionary, asking me to read its definition aloud. “Impetuous has two definitions: rushing with great force or violence; acting suddenly, with little thought. ” She asked me which one fitted the poem. I read both definitions over again, trying to figure it out, but Miss Chevalier must have read my mind. “There is no wrong answer,” she said, “I want to know your opinion, Addie.” Hesitantly, I said, “Maybe… both.” She liked that. “One has to be impetuous both ways or they wouldn’t dare to face up to any challenge. Would you call yourself impetuous?” I knew she was asking for an opinion. “My mother thinks being impetuous for girls is improper, anyway.” She said my mom was somewhat right about that. “But girls should also be wise to take up challenges when needed. I believe you are such a girl.” After that, I would never call Miss Chevalier “Poodle” again. 1. Why was Addie asked to recite Longfellow’s poem to the Saturday evening’s club? A. To help with her performance. B. To get the attention of her classmates. C. To set an example for the rest of the class. D. To try a new way to warm up the coming lecture. 2. Why did Addie feel happy on her way home? A. An event was going to happen. B. She was fully ready for her first rehearsal. C. She gained recognition for her performance. D. She memorized the poem sooner than others. 3. What can be learned about Miss Chevalier’s personality from the way she treated Addie? A. Caring and considerate. B. Easygoing and carefree. C. Curious and open-minded. D. Disciplined and strong-willed. 4. How did Miss Chevalier succeed in making Addie truly understand the word “impetuous”? A. By asking Addie to define it in her own way. B. By interpreting the two definitions separately. C. By consulting the dictionary for its definitions. D. By linking its definitions to Addie’s situations. 5. What is the probable reason that Addie would never call Miss Chevalier “Poodle” again? A. She followed her mother’s advice. B. She made up her mind to be a polite girl. C. She was touched by Miss Chevalier’s trust. D. She felt Miss Chevalier’s teaching funny. 【答案】1. D 2. C 3. A 4. D 5.

(不管怎样，我妈妈认为对女孩冲动是不合适的)” 和第九段“She said my mom was somewhat right about that. “But girls should also be wise to take up challenges when needed. I believe you are such a girl.”(她说我妈妈说得对。“但女孩们也应该明智地在需要时接受挑战。我相信你就是这样一个女孩。”)”可知，通过教师与作者对话的叙述，教师通过一系列问题把作者的成长背景和“impetuous”词义联系起来，使作者逐渐领悟该词词义，D项“把它的定义与艾迪的情况联系起来”符合题意。故选D项。 5. 推理判断题。由第九段中“But girls should also be wise to take up challenges when needed. I believe you are such a girl. (但女孩们也应该明智地在需要时接受挑战。我相信你就是这样一个女孩)”可推知，老师的信任令作者感动，所以作者再也不会称谢瓦利埃小姐为“卷毛狗”。故选C项。 03（2023·天津3月卷）One freezing morning last February, I walked through Ontario Place. Trees were frosted sculptures. Large chunks of ice floated in the lake. Then I saw a group of people in bathing suits bouncing up and down in the water. They held hands, shouting and yelling into the sky. They looked and sounded so free. I’ve always found cold water thrilling. The shock of it is like pressing a switch. It seems to reset my body and soul. And last winter, I definitely needed a reset. I woke up most mornings with a dull, grey feeling as I forced myself out of bed to start the day. I needed something to cheer myself up, but I didn’t know what, until that day. The ice warriors (勇士) emerged from the lake, their skin steaming. Trembling, they were yet laughing and hugging each other. I called out:  “You guys are awesome!” One woman waved back, “Come and join us! We’ re here every Monday morning.” The night before my first dip (游泳), I was excited and nervous. Cold water was one thing, but this icy lake was a whole other level. Should I back out? Eventually, I got up in the dark and drove to the meeting spot. After some wild warm up, I charged into the lake along with others. We yelled into the sky. Teeth chattering heart rates slowing, fingers and toes going numb (麻木), we stayed there for somewhere between two and five minutes. Knowing it was my first time, people cheered me on. It felt amazing. I was stupid with cold, but I couldn’t remember the last time I’d felt so happy. Now I go dipping almost every day, and I’ve come to long for that moment when the cold becomes a second skin and my internal voice goes silent. Apart from the thrill of those first heart-stopping dives, which, ironically, saved me from going under, what has drawn me is this community of generous, open-hearted souls. We laughed together, often, but from the stories we’ve shared about ourselves, I know I’m not the only one who faces life’s challenges. Holding hands in the freezing lake, we looked out for each other last winter and will do so through this one. It won’t fix everything in our lives—but for some reason, it helps. At the end of each session I return home feeling stronger, lighter, more able to carry on. As another winter sets in, I’m more than ready to embrace the cold again. 1. When the author saw the people in the lake, her feeling can be best described as __________ A. nervous B. amazed C. frightened D. calm 2. Why did the author think of joining the swimmers? A. To expand her social circle. B. To lift her spirits again. C. To adapt to the cold weather. D. To prepare for a new career 3. What can be learnt about the author’s first dipping? A. She hesitated a bit before going. B. She suffered from a heart problem. C. She stayed in cold water too long. D. She regretted not doing enough warm up. 4. What change has cold water swimming brought about in the author? A. She is more intelligent. B. She gets more competitive. C. She becomes a better storyteller. D. She regains her inner peace. 5. What message does the author most likely want to convey? A. Severe cold builds up character B. Group wisdom brightens our life. C. Tackling the odds together cures. D. Doing sports promotes friendship. 【答案】1. B 2. B 3. A 4. D 5. C 【导语】本文是记叙文。这篇文章讲述了作者在冰冷的湖中潜泳的经历，并且分享了参与这个活动的人们所带来的快乐和支持。通过这个经历，作者能够重新调整和振作起来，带着更强大的力量面对生活中的挑战。 1. 推理判断题。根据第一段“Then I saw a group of people in bathing suits bouncing up and down in the water.

Holding hands in the freezing lake, we looked out for each other last winter and will do so through this one. (我们经常一起笑，但从我们分享的故事中，我知道我不是唯一一个面临生活挑战的人。去年冬天，我们手牵着手在冰冷的湖面上守望着彼此，今年也将如此。)”以及最后一段“It won’t fix everything in our lives—but for some reason, it helps. At the end of each session I return home feeling stronger, lighter, more able to carry on. As another winter sets in, I’m more than ready to embrace the cold again. (它不会解决我们生活中的所有问题，但出于某种原因，它会有所帮助。每次游泳结束后，我回到家，感觉更强壮、更轻松，更能坚持下去。又一个冬天来临了，我已经准备好再次拥抱寒冷了。)”可知，作者最想传达的信息是，冬泳让自己感到惊险刺激，但是真正吸引作者的是和社区的人分享故事，一起面对生活的困难，互相鼓励，让自己感觉更强壮、更轻松，更能坚持下去，所以是一起解决问题治愈人心。故选C项。 04（2023·天津6月卷）I looked through the window of the charming little violin shop, and my heart began to race. I'd been out to dinner that evening. Since it wasn't dark yet after the meal, I decided to walk home from the restaurant. I had traveled that way before, yet I had never noticed that old little shop. But that night I felt drawn to the violin shop the moment I came across it. I wiped the dirt from the window to get a better look inside. Several violins hung from the dark walls, quietly waiting to be chosen. As my eyes rested on them, I felt as though I were looking through a window into my own past. My childhood was all about the pursuits I had attempted, most of which had been chosen by Mom. She was like, “Join the swim team, Tara. Your sister is a good swimmer;surely you will be, too. ”What she refused to acknowledge, however, was that I was visibly afraid of water. Every Saturday I begged Mom not to make me go to the swim meet, but had little chance of success. That said, with a bang of the starting gun, I would dive into the cold water with all my strength and swim to the other side of the pool as fast as I could, only to find that the other swimmers slid past me. I would have given it up if I had not heard my father's encouraging shouts to cheer me on. When at last my hand would grab the edge of the pool, he would always be there with a warm, dry towel, telling me how proud he was of my desperate efforts. Then came a turning point in my life the day our school orchestra( 管弦乐队)visited my class, and gave a demonstration. The drums annoyed me. The flutes(笛子)bored me. But the violin…ah, the violin. It made the sweetest sound I'd ever heard!My heart was dancing along with its flowing tune. For the first time in my life, I went so wild with joy. Tightly holding the permission slip from the orchestra director, I ran all the way home after school, and shakily handed it to my parents with a fear that they might dismiss my desire. They didn't. Mom was thrilled to see me finally excited about something, and Dad winked(眨眼示意)at me while eagerly signing the slip. I began practicing the violin with great passion, and rose quickly in ability. Before long I had won the first seat in the community orchestra … 1. What did the sight of the violins in that little shop bring to Tara's mind? A. Her miserable past. B. An unforgettable sport event. C. The stories behind the violins. D. Her childhood memory. 2. What Dad did for Tara during the swimming competition implies that he is ________.

The tune of the flutes. B. The beat of the drums. C. The sound of the violin. D. The manner of the musicians. 4. What enabled Tara to win the first seat in the community orchestra? A. The steady improvement in her taste. B. Her strong desire for success. C. Her natural gift for music. D. The rapid progress in her ability. 5. What message does Tara's story convey? A. It's never too young to learn. B. A passionate interest works wonders. C. Hard work will pay off in the long run. D. Like mother, like daughter. 【答案】1. D 2. B 3. C 4. D 5.

Why am I singing such praises of myself? Just to explain that he attainment of self-pride comes from a great deal of self-love, and to attain it, one must first learn to accept oneself as one is. That was where my struggle began. Born and raised in Africa，I had always taken my African origin as burden. My self-dislike was further fueled when my family had to relocate to Norway, where I attended a high school. Compared to all the white girls around me, with their golden hair and delicate lips, I ,a black girl, had curly hair and full, red lips. My nose often had a thin sheet of sweat on it, whatever the weather was. I just wanted to bury myself in my shell crying “I’m so different!” What also contributed to my self-dislike was my occasional stuttering (口吃), which had weakened my self-confidence. It always stood between me and any fine opportunity. I’d taken it as an excuse to avoid any public speaking sessions, and unknowingly let it rule over me. Fortunately, as I grew older, there came a turning point. One day a white girl caught my eye on the school bus when she suddenly turned back. To my astonishment, she had a thin sheet of sweat on her nose too, and it was in November! “Wow,” I whispered to myself, “this isn’t a genetic(遗传的) disorder after all. It’s perfectly normal.” Days later, my life took an-other twist(转折). Searching the internet for stuttering cures, I accidentally learned that such famous people as Isaac Newton and Winston Churchill also stuttered. I was greatly relieved and then an idea suddenly hit me—if I’m smart, I shouldn’t allow my stuttering to stand between me and my success. Another boost to my self-confidence came days later as I was watching the news about Oprah Winfrey, the famous talkshow host and writer—she’s black too! Whenever I think of her story and my former dislike of my color, I’m practically filled with shame. Today, I’ve grown to accept what I am with pride; it simply gives me feeling of uniqueness. The idea of self-love has taken on a whole new meaning for me: there’s always something fantastic about us, and what w need to do is learn to appreciate it. 1. What affected the author’s adjustment to her school life in Norway! A. Her appearance B. Social discrimɪnation. C. Her changing emotions. D. The climate in Norway. 2. What did the author’s occasional stuttering bring about according on Paragraph 3? A. Her lack of self-confidence. B. Her loss of interest in school. C. Her unwillingness to greet her classmates.D. Her desire for chances to improve herself. 3. How did the author feel on noticing the similarity between her and ne girl on the bus? A. Blessed and proud. B. Confused and afraid. C. Amazed and relieved. D. Shocked and ashamed. 4. What lesson did the author learn from the cases of Newton and Churchill? A. Great minds speak alike. B. Stuttering is no barrier to success. C. Wisdom counts more than hard work. D. Famous people can’t live with their weaknesses. 5. What can best summarize the message contained in the passage? A. Pride comes before a fall. B. Where there is a will, there is a way. C. Self-acceptance is based on the love for oneself. D. Self-love is key to the attainment of self-pride. 【答案】1. A 2. A 3. C 4. B 5. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。讲述的是作者在非洲长大的经历，在成长的过程中作者意识到一个人要获得自尊就要首先学会接受自己本来的面目。 1，推理判断题。根据文中第二段“Compared to all the white girls around me, with their golden hair and delicate lips, I ,a black girl, had curly hair and full, red lips. My nose often had a thin sheet of sweat on it, whatever the weather was. I just wanted to bury myself in my shell crying “I’m so different!”(与我周围所有有着金色头发和精致嘴唇的白人女孩相比，我，一个黑人女孩，有着卷曲的头发和饱满的红唇。无论天气如何，我的鼻子上经常有一层薄薄的汗水。我只想把自己埋在壳里哭着“我太不一样了！”)”可知，作者的外表与其他的孩子不同，这使得作者不容易适应学校的生活。故选A项。 2.细节理解题。根据文章第三段“What also contributed to my self-dislike was my occasional stuttering(口吃), which had weakened my self-confidence.(导致我自我厌恶的还有我偶尔的口吃，这削弱了我的自信心。)”可知，作者的口吃导致作者失去了自信。故选A项。 3.推理判断题。文中第四段提到“To my astonishment, she had a thin sheet of sweat on her nose too, and it was in November!(令我惊讶的是，她的鼻子上也有薄薄的汗水，而且是在十一月！)”可知，作者见到小女孩儿感到很惊讶，根据句子中““Wow,” I whispered to myself, “this isn’t a genetic(遗传的) disorder after all. It’s perfectly normal.”(“哇，”我低声对自己说，“这毕竟不是遗传疾病。这很正常。”)”可知，作者此刻感到很放松。故选C项。 4.细节理解题。根据文章第四段“I was greatly relieved and then an idea suddenly hit me—if I’m smart, I shouldn’t allow my stuttering to stand between me and my success.(我大大地松了一口气，然后一个想法突然出现在我脑海中——如果我聪明，我不应该让我的口吃阻碍我和我的成功。)”可知,作者意识到口吃不应该是自己成功的障碍。故选B项。 5.主旨大意题。根据首段中的“Just to explain that he attainment of self-pride comes from a great deal of self-love, and to attain it, one must first learn to accept oneself as one is. That was where my struggle began.(只是为了解释他获得自尊来自大量的自爱，而要获得它，一个人必须首先学会接受自己的本来面目。这就是我挣扎开始的地方。)”可知，本文要讲述的是作者在经历中感悟到要想有自尊，首先要自爱。故选D项。 06 (2021天津卷) About five weeks ago, I noticed the skin of our pet lizard was growing dusty. It worried me. I reported the strange surface on the skin of the lizard to my husband and children the next morning. Seconds later, our lizard emerged from its tank with its old skin flowing behind it. I didn't think about it much until a morning last week when I knocked my favorite teapot off the table. It burst into hundreds of pieces. As I swept up the mess, I wondered why we had been breaking so many things over the months. The destruction started three months ago. It was my husband's birthday. He had just lost his job. The uncertainty was starting to wear on us, so I wanted to do something special. “Let's make a cake for Dad!” I cried. My kids screamed with joy. We baked, iced and sprinkled for most of the day. Candles on the cake! Balloons on the walls! Flowers on the table! Two hours before my husband came back home from another job interview, my daughter climbed up to grab a glass vase from a high shelf. It fell and crashed beside the cake. Tiny pieces of glass were everywhere. She sobbed loudly as I threw the cake away. My husband had banana pudding for his birthday. Three days ago, the light in our living room suddenly went out. After several frustrating hours of unsuccessful attempts to fix it, my husband suggested watching the Michael Jordan documentary series The Last Dance. The poignancy of Jordan retiring from his beloved basketball to play baseball and what had pushed him to make such a tough decision took me by surprise. As I watched him take off his basketball uniform and replace it with a baseball uniform, I saw him leaving behind the layer that no longer served him, just as our lizard had. Neither of them chose the moment that had transformed them. But they had to live with who they were after everything was different. Just like us. I realized that we have to learn to leave the past behind. Humans do not shed skin as easily as other animals. The beginning of change is upsetting. The process is tiring. Damage changes us before we are ready. I see our lizard, raw and nearly new. Jordan said that no matter how it ends, it starts with hope. With our tender, hopeful skin, that is where we begin. 1. What can we learn about the pet lizard from Paragraph 1? A. Its tank grew dirty. B. Its old skin came off. C. It got a skin disease. D. It went missing. 2. Why did the author's husband have banana pudding for his birthday? A. The birthday cake was ruined. B. The author made good puddings. C. Pudding was his favorite dessert. D. They couldn't afford a birthday cake. 3. Why does the author mention The Last Dance in the passage? A. To prove a theory. B. To define a concept. C. To develop the theme. D. To provide the background. 4. The underlined part "leaving behind the layer" in Paragraph 8 can be understood as . A. letting go of the past B. looking for a new job C. getting rid of a bad habit D. giving up an opportunity 5. What does the author most likely want to tell us? A. Love of family helps us survive great hardships. B. It's not the end of the world if we break things. C. We should move on no matter what happens. D. Past experiences should be treasured. 【答案】1. B 2. A 3. C 4. A 5. C 【分析】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。讲述了作者的丈夫刚刚丢了工作，这种不确定性开始影响到家人，直到作者看到家里的宠物蜥蜴换皮和观看了Michael Jordan的纪录片《最后的舞蹈》后，领悟到我们必须学会把过去抛在脑后，像蜥蜴一样，用我们柔嫩、充满希望的皮肤，作为人生的起点。 1.细节理解题。根据第一段中“I reported the strange surface on the skin of the lizard to my husband and children the next morning. Seconds later, our lizard emerged from its tank with its old skin flowing behind it.(第二天早上，我向丈夫和孩子们报告了蜥蜴皮肤上奇怪的表面。几秒钟后，我们的蜥蜴从水箱里出来，旧皮肤蜕了下来)”可知，宠物蜥蜴旧的皮肤脱落了。故选B。 2.细节理解题。根据第六段“Two hours before my husband came back home from another job interview, my daughter climbed up to grab a glass vase from a high shelf. It fell and crashed beside the cake. Tiny pieces of glass were everywhere. She sobbed loudly as I threw the cake away. My husband had banana pudding for his birthday.(就在我丈夫参加另一场工作面试回家前两个小时，我女儿爬到一个高高的架子上，抓起一个玻璃花瓶。它掉下来摔碎在蛋糕旁边。到处都是细小的玻璃碎片。我把蛋糕扔掉时，她大声抽泣。我丈夫生日吃了香蕉布丁)”可知，作者的丈夫过生日吃了香蕉布丁是因为生日蛋糕毁了。故选A。 3.推理判断题。根据倒数第三段“The poignancy of Jordan retiring from his beloved basketball to play baseball and what had pushed him to make such a tough decision took me by surprise. As I watched him take off his basketball uniform and replace it with a baseball uniform, I saw him leaving behind the layer that no longer served him, just as our lizard had. Neither of them chose the moment that had transformed them. But they had to live with who they were after everything was different. Just like us. I realized that we have to learn to leave the past behind.( Jordan从心爱的篮球退役，转而打棒球，这是多么令人痛心的事情，是什么促使他做出如此艰难的决定，让我感到惊讶。当我看着他脱下篮球服，换上棒球服时，我看到他脱下了那层不再适合他的衣服，就像我们的蜥蜴一样。他们都没有选择那个改变了他们的时刻。但他们必须和自己生活在一起因为一切都变了。就像我们一样。我意识到我们必须学会把过去抛在脑后)”以及最后一段“Jordan said that no matter how it ends, it starts with hope. With our tender, hopeful skin, that is where we begin.( Jordan说，不管结局如何，都是以希望开始的。用我们柔嫩、充满希望的皮肤，那是我们的起点)”可推知，作者在文章中提到The Last Dance是为了展开文章关于放手过去，重新开始的主题。故选C。 4.词义猜测题。根据画线词后文“Neither of them chose the moment that had transformed them. But they had to live with who they were after everything was different. Just like us. I realized that we have to learn to leave the past behind.(他们都没有选择那个改变了他们的时刻。但他们必须和自己生活在一起因为一切都变了。就像我们一样。我意识到我们必须学会把过去抛在脑后)”可知，作者看着乔丹脱下篮球服，换上棒球服时，意识到看到他放开了过去，把过去抛在脑后了。即画线词意思是“放开过去”。故选A。 5.推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Humans do not shed skin as easily as other animals. The beginning of change is upsetting. The process is tiring. Damage changes us before we are ready. I see our lizard, raw and nearly new.(人类不像其他动物那样容易蜕皮。变革的开始令人不安。这个过程很累人。伤害在我们准备好之前就改变了我们。我看到了我们生嫩的、几乎是全新的蜥蜴)”以及最后一段“Jordan said that no matter how it ends, it starts with hope. With our tender, hopeful skin, that is where we begin.( Jordan说，不管结局如何，都是以希望开始的。用我们柔嫩、充满希望的皮肤，那是我们的起点)”可推知，作者最有可能想告诉我们无论发生什么，我们都应该继续前进。故选C。 三、阅读理解名校模拟（记叙文） 模拟专区：做好题才有好成绩!练技能,补漏洞,提分数,强信心! 01（25-26高三上·天津·期中）When Clara took over her grandfather’s Brooklyn bookshop in 2018, the first thing she removed wasn’t the outdated books, but the WiFi router (路由器). Regulars protested. A lawyer even said he would spend his money elsewhere. But Clara believed that “books need our full attention, just like loved ones do.” She wanted people to focus on reading. At first, her decision seemed risky, especially when other shops were closing. However, something wonderful happened. By 2020, the shop had become a quiet and comfortable place for people. Teenagers read books on the carpets, forgetting about their phones. A retired judge started a poetry group on Saturdays where people shared poems from memory. The COVID-19 pandemic (流行病) should have been their death knell. But Clara had an idea: she created “Survival Bundles” — sets of books with her personal notes. To her astonishment, many people, even busy tech managers, loved them. A CEO said it was the first real book he had held since university. Clara realized people were “hungry for a real, touchable experience.” Last winter, I found her confronted with a new threat. A real estate (房地产) developer bought the building and greatly increased the rent overnight. However, Clara’s customers came to help. They protested outside the shop. The retired judge offered free legal help. Even the lawyer who once complained decided to support her and funded their legal defense. In court, Clara used a quote from the writer Melville: “We cannot live only for ourselves. Many things connect us.” The judge, who was part of the poetry group, agreed that the rent increase was unreasonable. Clara won. The shop now displays the court’s decision next to valuable books. It shows that it is our shared human bonds that provide the deepest strength to face contemporary difficulties. 1．What made Clara’s approach to running the bookshop special? A．Satisfying the needs of customers. B．Introducing modern technology. C．Focusing on rare book collections. D．Prioritizing full concentration. 2．What does the underlined phrase “death knell” in paragraph 3 mean? A．A moment of celebration. B．A desperate cry for survival. C．An event marking the end. D．A sudden opportunity for growth. 3．Why is the lawyer mentioned again in paragraph 4? A．To show his contradictory behavior. B．To illustrate the content of a novel. C．To stress the mass support Clara received. D．To explain the difficulty Clara came across. 4．What does Clara’s use of the Melville quote in court primarily serve to do?

(她希望人们专注于阅读)”可知，Clara经营书店的特别之处在于优先让顾客全神贯注阅读。D选项“优先考虑全神贯注”符合文意。故选D项。 2．词句猜测题。根据第三段“The COVID-19 pandemic should have been their death knell. But Clara had an idea: she created “Survival Bundles” — sets of books with her personal notes. (新冠疫情本该是他们的death knell，但Clara有了个主意：她创造了“生存包”——一套有她个人笔记的书)”可知，新冠疫情没有成为书店终结的信号，death knell意为“死亡的钟声、终结的信号”，和下文的“Survival Bundles”呼应。C选项“标志着终结的事件”符合词义。故选C项。 3．推理判断题。根据第四段“Clara’s customers came to help (Clara的顾客们来帮忙)”以及“Even the lawyer who once complained decided to support her (就连曾经抱怨的律师也决定支持她)”可知，再次提及律师是为了体现Clara获得了广泛的支持。C选项“强调Clara得到的大众支持”符合文意。故选C项。 4．推理判断题。根据第五段“In court, Clara used a quote from the writer Melville: “We cannot live only for ourselves. Many things connect us.” The judge, who was part of the poetry group, agreed that the rent increase was unreasonable. Clara won. (在法庭上，Clara引用了作家梅尔维尔的一句话：“我们不能只为自己而活，很多事物将我们联结在一起。”法官是诗社的一员，他也认为涨房租是不合理的。Clara赢了)”可知，引用这句话是为了突出社群联结的价值，以此支撑自己的辩护。B选项“在辩护中强调社群联结的价值”符合文意。故选B项。 5．推理判断题。根据最后一段“It shows that it is our shared human bonds that provide the deepest strength to face contemporary difficulties. (它表明，正是我们共同的人类纽带为面对当代困难提供了最深刻的力量)”以及通读全文可知，故事传递的是人与人之间的联系能够共同应对当下的困难的道理。C选项“社群和人际联结可以克服现代挑战”符合主旨。故选C项。 02（25-26高三上·天津滨海新·期中）While most 4-year-olds are making mud pies or selling lemonade, Austin Perine of Birmingham, Alabama decided to go one step further. With his red cape (披肩) covering his shoulders, Austin Perine feeds the hungry and homeless population throughout the city in an effort to “show love” to those who need “food and smiles”. “Show love”, according to Austin, has become his superhero motto. His superhero name? President Austin, of course. Austin’s father, TJ Perine, told CNN that Austin has always been compassionate (有同情心的), as he acts like a “little dad” for his brother, Taylor. However, it wasn’t until Austin learned that people are experiencing homelessness that he decided to share what he has with the rest of his community. TJ noted that Austin’s first knowledge about homelessness came after watching a nature documentary about a baby panda on television. “Austin and I were watching an animal show and there was a mother panda that was leaving her baby,” TJ said. “Austin began to get concerned, and I told him that the baby panda would be homeless.” To better teach his son about homelessness, TJ took the young boy to the city shelter, at which point Austin asked, “Can we feed them?” In response, TJ took Austin to Burger King where he enthusiastically volunteered to pay for the chicken sandwiches using his weekly pocket money, thereby giving up new toys that week. Austin and his father have plans to expand their community outreach efforts so they can also fight homelessness at its roots. They have also started a GoFundMe as part of their Show Love Foundation. “We’ve gotten a lot of support from the country, and what we want to do is expand and do more than just giving out sandwiches,” TJ told CNN, saying that, finally, he and Austin hope to build a service center that deals with the many causes and symptoms of homelessness. “Mental illness, drug abuse, addiction, and things like that,” he said. “Austin and I want to build a service center and get some specialists in there that can actually help these people get back into the workforce.” 1．What can we know about Austin from the first paragraph? A．He has sympathy for the homeless. B．He likes watching superhero movies. C．He used to enjoy making mud pies best. D．He frequently makes lemonade for the poor. 2．Where did Austin first learn about homelessness? A．On the radio. B．On TV. C．In the newspaper. D．In the magazine. 3．How did Austin feel after he saw the nature documentary about pandas? A．Worried. B．Excited. C．Ashamed. D．Regretful. 4．What did Austin do in Burger King? A．He bought new toys for his brother. B．He ate chicken sandwiches with TJ. C．He visited the homeless baby panda. D．He used up his pocket money for charity. 5．What do TJ and Austin intend to do? A．Set up another GoFundMe. B．Win support from the government. C．Help the homeless become employed. D．Give out more sandwiches to the poor. 【答案】1．A 2．B 3．A 4．D 5．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了4岁男孩Austin Perine，他不像同龄孩子那样玩泥巴或卖柠檬水，而是披上红色披肩，化身“总统奥斯汀”，用零花钱买汉堡送给城里的无家可归者，口号是“展示爱”。父亲TJ带他去收容所了解无家可归现象后，奥斯汀主动放弃玩具，坚持每周捐餐。父子俩已成立“展示爱基金会”并发起众筹，计划扩建服务中心，从根源帮助无家可归者解决心理、成瘾等问题，助其重返社会。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段“With his red cape (披肩) covering his shoulders, Austin Perine feeds the hungry and homeless population throughout the city in an effort to “show love” to those who need “food and smiles”.(Austin Perine披着红色披肩，为全城饥饿和无家可归的人提供食物，努力向那些需要“食物和微笑”的人“表达爱”)”可知，Austin对无家可归的人有同情心，会给他们提供食物，表达爱。故选A。 2．细节理解题。根据第三段“TJ noted that Austin’s first knowledge about homelessness came after watching a nature documentary about a baby panda on television. (TJ指出，Austin第一次了解无家可归是在电视上观看了一部关于熊猫宝宝的自然纪录片之后)”可知，Austin第一次是在电视上了解到无家可归的。故选B。 3．细节理解题。根据第三段“ “Austin and I were watching  an animal show and there was a mother panda that was leaving her baby,”  TJ said. “Austin began to get concerned, and I told him that the baby  panda would be homeless.”(“Austin和我在看一个动物节目，有一只熊猫妈妈要离开她的宝宝，“TJ说。“Austin开始担心起来，我告诉他熊猫宝宝会无家可归。”)”可知，Austin在看到关于熊猫的自然纪录片后感到担心。故选A。 4．细节理解题。根据第四段“In response, TJ took Austin to Burger King where he enthusiastically volunteered to pay for the chicken sandwiches using his weekly pocket money, thereby giving up new toys that week.(作为回应，TJ带Austin去了汉堡王，在那里他热情地自愿用每周的零用钱来支付鸡肉三明治的费用，从而放弃了那周的新玩具)”可知，Austin在汉堡王用他的零用钱做慈善，为无家可归的人买鸡肉三明治。故选D。 5．推理判断题。根据最后一段“TJ told CNN, saying that,  finally, he and Austin hope to build a service center that deals with  the many causes and symptoms of homelessness. “Mental illness, drug  abuse, addiction, and things like that,” he said. “Austin and I want to  build a service center and get some specialists in there that can  actually help these people get back into the workforce.” (TJ告诉CNN，最后，他和Austin希望建立一个服务中心，处理无家可归的许多原因和症状。他说：“精神疾病、药物滥用、成瘾等等。Austin和我想建立一个服务中心，让一些专家在那里，真正帮助这些人重新就业。”)”可推知，TJ和Austin打算帮助无家可归的人重新就业。故选C。 03（25-26高三上·天津西青·期中）The first time I went to Germany with my boyfriend, I was very young and hadn’t been to many places. As soon as we arrived, I had this incredible revelation. “I know all about this area —the food, the language. I know all about the Schwarzwald, the Black Forest,” I said to his German family. “How do you know about this?” they asked, in disbelief. That was the first time it dawned on me how much I knew about the rest of the world, and how prepared I was for it, just from growing up in New York City — that I had been everywhere before I’d ever actually gone anywhere. I grew up in the Chelsea Projects, 288 10th Avenue at 26th Street. A lot of kids there were first generation Americans with immigrant parents who were still speaking Yiddish or Chinese or Portuguese, or just name a language, and they were speaking it. You ate every imaginable food from the rest of the world there. You were exposed to all different kinds of traditions. It wasn’t just that. The whole city was a classroom. All over town, you learned stuff you didn’t even know you were learning. You didn’t have to be rich to learn it, either. My mom was a teacher — a great Head Start teacher — and she made sure I partook of everything New York had to offer people who didn’t have any money, because she knew it was the greatest education in the world. We went to all the museums, which were free back then. We’d ride the bus to Lincoln Center, before it was Lincoln Center, and watch dancers dancing there. Or we’d take the train to Coney Island. Those trips are among my fondest memories. New York City played a big part in making me who I am. It’s where I learned that I could pursue whatever I loved, but that I couldn’t be a slacker (偷懒的人). The city is everything you’ve heard it is. It’s crazy, it’s horrible, it’s magnificent, it’s beautiful. It’s a real live wire, hard to leave. 1．What contributed to the author’s knowledge of Germany? A．Her childhood experience. B．Her boyfriend’s descriptions. C．Her past travel adventures. D．Her previous school education. 2．What can we learn about the author’s neighborhood? A．It was a tourist hotspot for traditions. B．It was famous for its food and restaurants. C．Kids there were born outside of America. D．Parents there spoke their mother tongues. 3．What did New York provide? A．Diverse learning opportunities. B．Quality education programs. C．Financial support for parents. D．Welfare benefits for the poor. 4．What can be inferred from the above passage? A．The author knew Black Forest well since she had been there before. B．Most Chelsea immigrants come from European nations. C．Mom chose free resources just to save money. D．New York city helped the author understand the world well. 5．From which book is the text most likely taken? A．Into Unknown Skies. B．Never Can Say Goodbye. C．Mom is Always by My Side. D．Falling for the Hometown Girl. 【答案】1．A 2．D 3．A 4．D 5．B 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者在纽约成长的经历如何让她对世界有了深刻了解并塑造了她的性格。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段中“The first time I went to Germany with my boyfriend, I was very young and hadn’t been to many places. As soon as we arrived, I had this incredible revelation. “I know all about this area — the food, the language. I know all about the Schwarzwald, the Black Forest,” I said to his German family. (我第一次和男朋友去德国时，年纪还小，也没去过多少地方。一到那里，我就有了一个惊人的发现。“我太了解这个地方了——这里的食物、语言，还有黑森林，我都了如指掌。”我对他的德国家人说。)”、第二段“That was the first time it dawned on me how much I knew about the rest of the world, and how prepared I was for it, just from growing up in New York City-that I had been everywhere before I’d ever actually gone anywhere.(那是我第一次意识到，仅仅因为在纽约市长大，我就对世界其他地方了解得如此之多，并且为此做好了准备——在我真正去任何地方之前，我就已经到过所有地方了。)”可知，作者对德国的了解主要来源于她在纽约的成长经历。故选A。 2．细节理解题。根据第三段中“A lot of kids there were first generation Americans with immigrant parents who were still speaking Yiddish or Chinese or Portuguese, or just name a language, and they were speaking it.(我成长在切尔西公共住房项目区，具体地址是第十大道 288 号（位于第 26 街）。那里很多孩子是第一代美国人，他们的移民父母还在说着意第绪语、中文、葡萄牙语，或者随便说一种语言，你都能在那里听到。)”可知，作者所在社区的父母们仍然说着他们的母语。故选D。 3．细节理解题。根据第四段中“The whole city was a classroom. All over town, you learned stuff you didn’t even know you were learning.(整个城市就是一个教室。在整个城市里，你学到的东西你甚至都不知道自己在学习。)”、以及第五段“We went to all the museums, which were free back then. We’d ride the bus to Lincoln Center, before it was Lincoln Center, and watch dancers dancing there. Or we’d take the train to Coney Island. Those trips are among my fondest memories.(我们去了所有的博物馆，那时候都是免费的。我们会坐公交车去林肯中心，在它成为林肯中心之前，就在那里看舞者跳舞。或者我们会坐火车去科尼岛。那些旅行是我最美好的回忆之一。)”可知，纽约为作者提供了多样化的学习机会。故选A。 4．推理判断题。根据第二段“That was the first time it dawned on me how much I knew about the rest of the world, and how prepared I was for it, just from growing up in New York City-that I had been everywhere before I’d ever actually gone anywhere.(那是我第一次意识到，仅仅因为在纽约市长大，我就对世界其他地方了解得如此之多，并且为此做好了准备——在我真正去任何地方之前，我就已经到过所有地方了。)”可推断，纽约市帮助作者更好地了解了世界。故选D。 5．推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是由第二段“That was the first time it dawned on me how much I knew about the rest of the world, and how prepared I was for it, just from growing up in New York City-that I had been everywhere before I’d ever actually gone anywhere.(那是我第一次意识到，仅仅因为在纽约市长大，我就对世界其他地方了解得如此之多，并且为此做好了准备——在我真正去任何地方之前，我就已经到过所有地方了。)”和最后一段“New York City played a big part in making me who I am. It’s where I learned that I could pursue whatever I loved, but that I couldn’t be a slacker (偷懒的人). The city is everything you’ve heard it is. It’s crazy, it’s horrible, it’s magnificent, it’s beautiful. It’s a real live wire, hard to leave.(纽约市在很大程度上塑造了现在的我。在那里，我学会了可以追求自己热爱的一切，但也明白不能偷懒。这座城市正如你所听闻的那样。它疯狂、糟糕，却又壮丽、美丽。它就像一根充满活力的电线，让人难以割舍。)”可知，作者主要讲述了纽约市对自己成长的深刻影响，表达了对这座城市的深厚情感，选项B“Never Can Say Goodbye(永远不能说再见)”契合作者对纽约难以割舍的情感，最可能是文本的出处。故选B。 04（25-26高三上·天津河北·期中）At 20, I was a lifeguard and swimming teacher at the council pool in Cambridge. I told the club coach about my dream of swimming the Channel (英吉利海峡). She looked me over and said, “Find another dream.” Her words hurt me deeply. I wasn’t built for long-distance open-water swims. To swim distances, you need a degree of body fat density, buoyancy (浮力) and power. I had none of this. I realised the coach was probably right, and I let my dream fade away. But what I couldn’t have known was what would take its place, and how rewarding it would be. One day, I was asked to teach adults who wanted to learn swimming but had a terrible fear of water. My first students were between 23 and 79 years old. Flora, the oldest, had never had time to swim; others still held on to the pain from childhood accidents or moments of shame. It requires real courage to share those fears, and even more to undress and step into the pool. For this reason, there were no spectators. During those evening sessions, the pool was silent and still, and the building transformed into a peaceful temple. By week three, they were waist- deep in the shallow end, holding floats as they walked for 10 meters to the other side. The last one to leave was Raj, who was much bigger than me and was terrified of the exercise most. By the seventh week, he was swimming, grasping the float, kicking the water hard with his legs. I loved these sessions. Watching them overcome a deep-rooted fear was deeply pleasing. By summer, we moved to an outdoor pool surrounded by trees. The cold water shocked them, but soon they realised they were out of the indoor pool’s calm and safety. They were doing what they’d never imagined, and it was glorious. What it took my class to overcome something so challenging — the hard work and willpower — stayed with me for the rest of my life. None of them were ever going to swim the Channel, but of course, I never told them that. But it no longer mattered. I had discovered that helping someone cross their own private ocean of fear was a triumph far greater than any Channel swim. 1．Why did the author give up his dream of swimming the Channel? A．He failed to get professional guidance. B．He got injured in an open-water swim. C．He found a more rewarding alternative. D．He lacked the required physical qualities. 2．What did the author’s adult students have in common? A．They had a deep fear of water. B．They hated any form of exercise. C．They wanted to improve their health. D．They had never tried swimming before. 3．Which of the following best describes the students’ process of learning to swim? A．Smooth and efficient. B．Gradual and determined. C．Effortless and productive. D．Competitive and goal-driven. 4．What was the author’s primary gain from his teaching experience? A．A sense of pleasure and achievement. B．Courage to pursue his own dream. C．Deep friendship with his students. D．Better swimming teaching skills. 5．What message does the story convey? A．Physical limits define one’s potential. B．Helping others brings unexpected fulfillment. C．Professional advice should never be questioned. D．Childhood experiences determine future success. 【答案】1．D 2．A 3．B 4．A 5．B 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。本文讲述了作者放弃横渡英吉利海峡的梦想，转而教成人克服对水的恐惧。作者通过耐心教学，帮助学生逐步克服恐惧，最终体会到帮助他人战胜困难的成就感远超个人梦想，收获了意想不到的满足。 1．细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“I wasn’t built for long-distance open-water swims. To swim distances, you need a degree of body fat density, buoyancy (浮力) and power. I had none of this.(我并不适合长距离的公开水域游泳。要游长距离，你需要一定程度的身体脂肪密度、浮力和力量。我这些都没有。)”可知，作者放弃游英吉利海峡的梦想是因为他缺乏所需的身体素质。故选D项。 2．细节理解题。根据文章第三段中的“One day, I was asked to teach adults who wanted to learn swimming but had a terrible fear of water.(有一天，我被要求教那些想学游泳但对水有极度恐惧的成年人。)”以及“My first students were between 23 and 79 years old. Flora, the oldest, had never had time to swim; others still held on to the pain from childhood accidents or moments of shame.(我最初的学员年龄在 23 岁到 79 岁之间。Flora是年龄最大的一位，她从未有过游泳的机会；其他学员则还带着童年事故留下的伤痛，或是内心的羞愧难以释怀。)”可知，作者的成年学生都有一个共同点，那就是他们都对水有深深的恐惧。故选A项。 3．推理判断题。根据文章第五段中的“By week three, they were waist-deep in the shallow end, holding floats as they walked for 10 meters to the other side.(到了第三周，他们已经能在浅水区没到腰部的地方，拿着浮板走10米到另一边。)”以及“By the seventh week, he was swimming, grasping the float, kicking the water hard with his legs.(到了第七周，他已经能游泳了，抓住浮板，用力用腿踢水。)”可知，学生们学习游泳的过程是循序渐进的，并且他们很有决心，克服了恐惧，学会了游泳。故选B项。 4．细节理解题。根据文章最后一段中的“I had discovered that helping someone cross their own private ocean of fear was a triumph far greater than any Channel swim.(我发现帮助别人跨越他们自己内心的恐惧之海，比任何一次英吉利海峡游泳都要伟大得多。)”以及前文描述学生们克服恐惧学会游泳的过程，可知作者从教学经历中获得的主要收获是一种愉悦和成就感。故选A项。 5．主旨大意题。通读全文，文章主要讲述了作者原本梦想游英吉利海峡，但因身体素质不足而放弃，后来转而教成年人游泳，帮助他们克服对水的恐惧，并从中获得了巨大的满足感和成就感。文章最后一段中的“I had discovered that helping someone cross their own private ocean of fear was a triumph far greater than any Channel swim.(我发现帮助别人跨越他们自己内心的恐惧之海，比任何一次英吉利海峡游泳都要伟大得多。)”更是直接点明了文章的主旨，即帮助他人能带来意想不到的满足感。故选B项。 05（25-26高三上·天津·期中）When I was a child I was often told what not to eat. “You don’t want to get fat” was on constant repeat throughout my childhood. It really messed up my relationship with food — something that took me years to overcome. Because of this, I’m careful not to connect what my kids weigh with their worth as people. I encourage my daughter to make healthy snack choices and often dissuade (劝阻) her from a second dessert. But one day when I heard her saying “I think I’m too fat,” my heart sank. It made me wonder if giving her advice on snacks was having an unintentionally negative impact. According to Charlotte Markey, a professor of psychology, food is one of the rare subjects where, as parents, saying less is more. “There are so many things in parenting that are good to talk through, but I’m not convinced that food is one of them,” she says. “It just creates some worries and insecurities in kids that aren’t necessarily healthy.” Instead, she recommends applying a well-known concept among nutrition experts called the “Division of Responsibility,” where parents provide a variety of mostly healthy foods to their kids at fixed times, and the kids themselves decide what and how much they want to consume — even if that means occasionally eating more cookies than carrots. Allowing kids to eat what they want also exposes them to the natural consequences of their decisions. “When your child says, ‘My stomach hurts,’ you can say, ‘Well you had a lot of sugary foods and you might feel better if you made some other choices,’” says Markey. “Let them feel like they have some control over it.” I’ve been trying out these strategies and I’ve found that when I’m less restrictive, they do make better decisions. “Feeding is a long game,” says Markey. “The food you have available makes a huge difference. Even if they don’t eat it, they’re seeing it. And then all of a sudden it clicks.” 1．What can be inferred about the author from the first paragraph? A．She is upset by her kids’ weight. B．She is particular about what she eats. C．She is interested in making food. D．She is critical of the way she was fed. 2．Which of the following would Markey disapprove of? A．Explaining to kids the risks of taking snacks. B．Offering various foods to kids at fixed times. C．Allowing kids to eat cookies occasionally. D．Talking with kids about school at mealtimes. 3．What should kids do according to the “Division of Responsibility”? A．Eat up what is provided for them. B．Share their food with other kids. C．Make diet decisions on their own. D．Help their parents do the dishes. 4．What does the author think of the strategies she has been following? A．Costly. B．Workable. C．Complex. D．Contradictory. 5．What does the passage focus on? A．Parents are supposed to strictly control children’s diet to avoid health problems. B．Discussing food choices openly with kids is the best way to ensure healthy habits. C．Children need constant guidance to understand nutritional values so as to keep healthy. D．Offering children freedom in food choices helps build a healthy relationship with eating. 【答案】1．D 2．A 3．C 4．B 5．D 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者童年因频繁被提醒“别长胖”而破坏了与食物的关系，如今发现对女儿的饮食建议或有负面影响，采纳专家“责任分工”理念，给孩子饮食自由后效果良好。 1．推理判断题。根据第一段“When I was a child I was often told what not to eat. “You don’t want to get fat” was on constant repeat throughout my childhood. It really messed up my relationship with food — something that took me years to overcome. Because of this, I’m careful not to connect what my kids weigh with their worth as people. I encourage my daughter to make healthy snack choices and often dissuade (劝阻) her from a second dessert. But one day when I heard her saying “I think I’m too fat,” my heart sank. It made me wonder if giving her advice on snacks was having an unintentionally negative impact. (当我还是个孩子的时候，我经常被告知不能吃什么。“你不想变胖”这句话在我的童年时期不断被重复。这真的把我和食物的关系搞得一团糟——我花了好几年才克服。正因为如此，我小心翼翼地不把我孩子的体重和他们作为人的价值联系起来。我鼓励我的女儿选择健康的零食，并经常劝阻她不要再吃甜点。但是有一天，当我听到她说“我觉得我太胖了”时，我的心一沉。这让我怀疑给她关于零食的建议是否在无意中产生了负面影响。)”可知，从第一段可以推断出作者对自己童年喂养方式的批判。故选D项。 2．推理判断题。根据第二段“According to Charlotte Markey, a professor of psychology, food is one of the rare subjects where, as parents, saying less is more. “There are so many things in parenting that are good to talk through, but I’m not convinced that food is one of them,” she says. “It just creates some worries and insecurities in kids that aren’t necessarily healthy.” (心理学教授夏洛特·马基（Charlotte Markey）表示，作为父母，很少在食物问题上说得少即是多。她说：“在育儿方面，有很多事情值得讨论，但我不相信食物是其中之一。”“这只会给孩子们带来一些不一定健康的担忧和不安全感。”)”可知，马基指出“育儿中很多事适合沟通，但食物并非其中之一”，“这只会给孩子带来不必要的担忧和不安全感”，即不建议过多和孩子谈论食物相关话题。由此可推知，“向孩子解释吃零食的风险”属于和孩子谈论食物相关的担忧，符合马基不认可的行为。故选A项。 3．细节理解题。根据第三段“Instead, she recommends applying a well-known concept among nutrition experts called the “Division of Responsibility,” where parents provide a variety of mostly healthy foods to their kids at fixed times, and the kids themselves decide what and how much they want to consume — even if that means occasionally eating more cookies than carrots. (相反，她建议应用营养专家中一个众所周知的概念，即“责任分工”，即父母在固定的时间为孩子们提供各种各样的健康食品，孩子们自己决定他们想吃什么和吃多少——即使这意味着偶尔吃的饼干比胡萝卜多。)”可知，根据“责任分工”，孩子们应该自己决定饮食。故选C项。 4．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“I’ve been trying out these strategies and I’ve found that when I’m less restrictive, they do make better decisions. (我一直在尝试这些策略，我发现当我不那么严格限制时，他们确实做出了更好的决定。)”可推知，作者认为她一直遵循的策略是可行的。故选B项。 5．主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章以作者自身经历引出话题，通过专家马基的观点，核心推荐“责任分工”理念 —— 父母提供健康食物，孩子自主选择饮食，最终作者验证该策略有效，强调给孩子饮食自由有助于建立健康的饮食关系。由此可知，这篇文章的重点是让孩子自由选择食物有助于建立健康的饮食关系。故选D项。 06（25-26高三上·天津河西·期中）After their three children grew up and left home, Margaret Thompson and her husband, Kenneth, stretched their legs together on walking holidays in Switzerland. In Interlaken, they would head up the mountain and watch the paragliders (滑翔伞运动员) launch themselves into the sky. Back in town, in a large park, they watched them return to the earth. “Some day I’d love to do that.” Thompson told Kenneth. But there was always so much to do in Interlaken. Besides, Thompson didn’t know if Kenneth would have enjoyed it. “He was not so keen on heights as I was,” she said. So she continued to watch the paragliders take flight and land. Kenneth died in 2005. Eleven years later, Thompson finally took to the skies herself, being a paraglider at the age of 80. Although some people got scared while flying, she said she just felt free. Thompson did her second paraglide when she turned 85, and raised nearly £2,000 for a local charity. Before leaving Interlaken after her second flight, Thompson asked the organizers about the age limit for paragliding. They said, “Any age, as long as you’re fit.” Thompson, now 86, plans her third flight for when she is 90. Thompson grew up living above her parents’ shop in Belfast. At 18, she helped in the shop while studying for her music diploma in Stranmillis University College in South Belfast. She started to teach the piano to local children, and at the height of her teaching she gave 70 lessons a week. She still has 15 pupils on her books. “Over the years I’ve had so many that I’m teaching their children now.” Is she scared of getting older? “Fear? No. People say, ‘Isn’t getting old awful?’ I say, ‘No. You are free to do more things that you want to do.’” “People might worry about falling, it being the end of them. But that doesn’t bother me at all. When it’s your time, it’s your time, no matter where you are,” Thompson added. 1．What can we know about Thompson from the first two paragraphs? A．She appreciated being alone. B．She was crazy about paragliding. C．She often worked overtime. D．She didn’t fit in with her husband. 2．Which of the following best describes Thompson? A．Courageous and optimistic. B．Unexceptional and open-minded. C．Romantic and cautious. D．Considerate and humorous. 3．What is the main function of the 5th paragraph introducing Thompson’s personal experience? A．To highlight that Thompson’s love for piano teaching started when she was 18. B．To show Thompson has kept an active and passionate life across different ages. C．To prove Interlaken is a place that helps Thompson stay energetic in old age. D．To prove that Thompson was very popular with local children. 4．What can we learn from Thompson’s story? A．Aging makes a difference. B．Time and tide wait for no man. C．Rome wasn’t built in a day. D．It’s never too late to fulfill a dream. 5．Why does the author mention Thompson’s words in the last paragraph? A．To explain she avoids talking about the negative sides of aging. B．To prove she only focuses on outdoor activities to kill time in old age. C．To show getting old isn’t unpleasant. D．To indicate she has to force herself to stay active despite disliking it. 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．B 4．D 5．C 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。本文讲述了汤普森在80岁高龄实现滑翔伞梦想并持续追求热爱生活的故事，展现了她勇敢乐观的人生态度。 1．细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Back in town, in a large park, they watched them return to the earth. “Some day I’d love to do that.” Thompson told Kenneth.(回到城里，在一个大公园里，他们看着他们回到了地球。“总有一天我也想这么做。”汤普森告诉肯尼斯。)”和第二段“So she continued to watch the paragliders take flight and land.(于是她继续看着滑翔伞运动员起飞和降落。)”可知，汤普森一直关注滑翔伞运动，还渴望亲自尝试，由此可推断她痴迷于滑翔伞运动。故选B项。 2．推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Although some people got scared while flying, she said she just felt free. Thompson did her second paraglide when she turned 85, and raised nearly £2,000 for a local charity.(虽然有些人在飞行中感到害怕，但她说她只是感到自由。汤普森在85岁的时候进行了第二次滑翔伞飞行，为当地一家慈善机构筹集了近2000英镑。)”和最后一段“Fear? No. People say, ‘Isn’t getting old awful?’ I say, ‘No. You are free to do more things that you want to do.’(恐惧？否。人们说：“变老不是挺糟糕的吗？”我说：“不。你可以自由去做更多你想做的事。”)”可知，她高龄仍敢尝试滑翔伞，体现出“勇敢”；她对衰老持积极态度，体现“乐观”。故选A项。 3．推理判断题。根据文章第五段“At 18, she helped in the shop while studying for her music diploma in Stranmillis University College in South Belfast. She started to teach the piano to local children, and at the height of her teaching she gave 70 lessons a week.(18 岁时，她一边在商店帮忙，一边在南贝尔法斯特的斯特兰米利斯大学学院攻读音乐学位。她开始为当地的孩子们教授钢琴，在教学最繁忙的时候，她每周要上 70 节课。)”可知，本段内容展示了汤普森一生中持续保持活跃和热情的生活态度，与她在老年时期仍然勇于尝试滑翔伞的行为相呼应。故选B项。 4．推理判断题。分析全文内容再根据文章第三段“Thompson finally took to the skies herself, being a paraglider at the age of 80. Although some people got scared while flying, she said she just felt free. Thompson did her second paraglide when she turned 85, and raised nearly £2,000 for a local charity.(汤普森最终也亲自体验了飞行的乐趣，她 80 岁时就开始学习滑翔伞了。尽管有些人在飞行时感到害怕，但她表示自己只感到无比自由。汤普森在 85 岁时进行了第二次滑翔伞飞行，并为当地一家慈善机构筹集了近 2000 英镑。)”可知，文章通过汤普森高龄实现滑翔伞梦想的经历，传递“追梦永不嫌晚”的积极信息。故选D项。 5．推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Fear? No. People say, ‘Isn’t getting old awful?’ I say, ‘No. You are free to do more things that you want to do.’(恐惧？否。人们说：“变老不是挺糟糕的吗？”我说：“不。你可以自由去做更多你想做的事。”)”可知，汤普森表达了对衰老的态度：不恐惧、不认为变老是糟糕的，并强调可以自由做更多想做的事，且不担心意外，所以作者在最后一段中提及汤普森的话是为了表明衰老并非是一件令人不快的事情。故选C项。 07（25-26高三上·天津·期中）In 2019, I began learning Chinese at the Confucius Institute in Rome. Already fluent in several European languages, I sought a new challenge — something truly different that would expand my worldview. Chinese, with its intricate characters resembling abstract art, melodic tones that sounded like singing, and sentence structures reversing European logic, fascinated me from the first lesson. However, my interest soon branched out beyond linguistics into China’s cultural heritage. I started with Tang Dynasty poetry, renowned for its concise elegance and emotive power. Poems by Li Bai and Du Fu introduced me to China’s poetic tradition. Intrigued by its roots, I then turned to earlier works like the Shi Jing (The Book of Songs), an anthology of poems often attributed as one of the earliest reflections of the Chinese soul. Later, I explored the Chu Ci (Songs of Chu, or Poetry of the South), further broadening my understanding of regional literary expressions. My classes soon multiplied, as I took courses on Chinese history, literature, philosophy and art history. Confucianism’s emphasis on social harmony, Daoism’s natural spontaneity, and Buddhism’s cyclical worldview formed a philosophical trial that explained many modern Chinese values. Yet it was Chinese art history, especially scroll painting, that truly fired my imagination. The graceful brush-strokes, the interplay of ink and water, and the visual storytelling contained within those scrolls made me see art in an entirely new light. During my journey, I was particularly drawn to the stories of influential women in Chinese history, such as military leader Fu Hao and Emperor Wu Zetian. Learning about these extraordinary women expanded my understanding of China’s societal transformations and how women’s contributions have often been overlooked, yet undeniably crucial. These discoveries inspired me to create a bilingual English-Montenegrin magazine about Chinese culture. Unlike academic journals, it would mix thorough research with engaging stories — featuring Tang poetry analyses alongside profiles of contemporary Chinese innovators. A planned column “From Terra Cotta to Tech” would trace historical continuity, while a culinary section might explore how Sichuan peppercorns traveled the Silk Road. This publishing venture (活动) is both exciting and challenging. From selecting articles to editing translations, I’m constantly learning. And that, in itself, is part of what fascinates me so much about China: its cultural depth is an ever-expanding puzzle — one that can never be fully completed, but becomes more fascinating with each piece we add. Ultimately, my hope is that by creating this bilingual magazine, I can contribute to a mutual understanding. 1．What initially motivated the author to learn Chinese? A．The complexity of the Chinese language. B．The desire to become a linguistic teacher. C．The influence of several European languages. D．The opportunity to study at the Confucius Institute. 2．In her exploration of Chinese culture, which of the following topics does the author NOT cover? A．The principles of Confucianism and Taoism. B．The expressive qualities of Tang Dynasty poetry. C．The artistic skills involved in Chinese calligraphy. D．The storytelling elements in Chinese scroll painting. 3．What does the author find most significant about the stories of influential women in Chinese history? A．Their success in challenging traditional gender roles. B．Their contributions to China’s societal transformations. C．Their artistic achievements in both poetry and painting. D．Their overlooked yet crucial thoughts of Chinese culture. 4．What makes the author’s magazine different from academic journals? A．Use of bilingual content and comments from readers. B．Exclusion of serious and deep historical analysis. C．Focus mainly on modern technology and innovations. D．Integration of academic depth and appealing stories. 5．Why does the author compare “Chinese cultural depth” to “an ever-expanding puzzle” in the last paragraph? A．To emphasize that Chinese culture is too complicated to understand. B．To criticize the lack of systematic study of Chinese traditions. C．To demonstrate that Chinese culture is disconnected and incomplete. D．To highlight its complexity and the endless opportunities for discovery. 【答案】1．A 2．C 3．B 4．D 5．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。作者因在罗马孔子学院学中文而迷上中国诗词、儒道佛思想与书画，尤其关注历史上杰出女性，遂创办双语文化杂志，用学术深度加生动故事向欧洲读者介绍中国，以促跨文化理解。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段“In 2019, I began learning Chinese at the Confucius Institute in Rome. Already fluent in several European languages, I sought a new challenge— something truly different that would expand my worldview. Chinese, with its intricate characters resembling abstract art, melodic tones that sounded like singing, and sentence structures reversing European logic, fascinated me from the first lesson.(2019年，我开始在罗马孔子学院学习汉语。我已经流利地掌握了几种欧洲语言，于是我寻求一个新的挑战——一些真正不同的东西，可以扩展我的世界观。中文复杂的汉字像抽象艺术，悦耳的音调听起来像唱歌，句子结构颠倒了欧洲的逻辑，从第一节课开始就吸引了我。)”可知，作者最初是被中文本身的复杂性所吸引。故选A项。 2．细节理解题。作者在第三段提到“Confucianism’s emphasis on social harmony, Daoism’s natural spontaneity, and Buddhism’s cyclical worldview formed a philosophical trial that explained many modern Chinese values.(儒家对社会和谐的强调，道教的自然自发性，以及佛教的循环世界观形成了一种哲学尝试，解释了许多现代中国的价值观。)”，包括A项；第二段提到“I started with Tang Dynasty poetry, renowned for its concise elegance and emotive power.

Learning about these extraordinary women expanded my understanding of China’s societal transformations and how women’s contributions have often been overlooked, yet undeniably crucial.(在我的旅程中，我特别被中国历史上有影响力的女性的故事所吸引，比如军事领导人妇好和武则天。对这些杰出女性的了解，扩大了我对中国社会变革的理解，以及女性的贡献如何经常被忽视，但不可否认的是，她们的贡献至关重要。)”可知，作者强调中国历史上有影响力的女性对中国社会变革的“被忽视却关键”的作用。故选B项。 4．细节理解题。根据第五段“These discoveries inspired me to create a bilingual English-Montenegrin magazine about Chinese culture. Unlike academic journals, it would mix thorough research with engaging stories—featuring Tang poetry analyses alongside profiles of contemporary Chinese innovators.(这些发现启发我创办了一本关于英 - 黑山双语的中国文化杂志志。与学术期刊不同的是，它将全面的研究与引人入胜的故事结合起来——以唐诗分析和当代中国创新者的简介为特色。)”可知，作者的杂志把学术深度与引人入胜的故事结合，区别于传统学术期刊。故选D项。 5．推理判断题。根据最后一段的句子“And that, in itself, is part of what fascinates me so much about China: its cultural depth is an ever- expanding puzzle—one that can never be fully completed, but becomes more fascinating with each piece we add. Ultimately, my hope is that by creating this bilingual magazine, I can contribute to a mutual understanding.(而这本身就是中国吸引我的部分原因：它的文化深度是一个不断扩大的谜题——一个永远无法完全完成的谜题，但随着我们添加的每一篇文章，它会变得更加迷人。最终，我希望通过创办这本双语杂志，我可以为相互理解做出贡献。)”可知，作者在最后一段把“中国文化的深度”比作“一个不断扩大的谜题”是为了突出它的复杂性和无尽的发现机会。故选D项。 08（25-26高三上·天津·期中）Elizabeth Keyton, originally from Georgia, the USA, married Arjun, a Malayali. She wanted to learn his mother tongue to strengthen their family bond. In the process, she created an Instagram page called “Elikutty” through which she now teaches Malayalam to thousands of people. “I always loved hearing people speak different languages, but when my mother from Serbia spoke Serbian at home, my father showed no interest in learning it, leaving frequent misunderstanding and communicating problems. That’s when I decided that if I met someone from a different culture, I would try to learn his language, which would be good for us and our family,” says Elizabeth to The Better India. “So when my relationship with Arjun started looking serious because of difficulties in communicating, I decided to learn Malayalam. However, I found that there weren’t enough resources to learn the language. Most books available were outdated or made for children. A small amount of material was often too difficult for casual (非正式的) language learners like me,” says the 35-year-old. “Later, I struggled to find a teacher suited to my needs and some grammar resources online.” As an English teacher, Elizabeth used her teaching skills to learn Malayalam. She wrote notes and made doodles (涂鸦) to learn the letters. “For me, the best way to learn is by explaining it to someone else, so I made an Instagram page in 2018 to share my notes and small drawings,” she says. Starting out with 1,000 followers in 2018, her Instagram page has over 70,000 followers today. She is pleased to make learning Malayalam fun and easy. “I have seen what happens when languages are ignored in my own house. My brother doesn’t know Serbian, which means his family won’t. It’s important to know English as it is a global language and helps when you go abroad, but the same respect should be given to native languages.
