I was very talkative and asked too many questions, which wore out the patience of my friends and sometimes even the adults around me. My Grade 4 report summarized my social relations with “needs improvement”. It wasn’t until I turned 46 that I learned my uniqueness has a name — autism (自闭症). My diagnosis (诊断) was like discovering a missing piece of my brain, picking it up, putting it in place and feeling whole for the first time. From then on, I started to fully enjoy life. What I’ve found out since is that there are a number of others like me — people who weren’t diagnosed as having autism until midlife. In my 20s, I talked with a doctor about my growing anxiety. But autism never entered the conversation. In early 2017, I began a new job in which I was being praised and recognised as never before, so I didn’t know how to deal with it. As I neared the end of my one-year work, all the symptoms (症状) of my undiagnosed condition appeared in my working environment: becoming so stressed out because of overwork. Then, two months later, I received my diagnosis. Finally everything started to make sense. Today, I have my own company called Liberty Co., which suggests that facing the facts brings us freedom. Our goal is to increase the population of people like me in the workplace. It gives me a chance to be a supporter for women with autism. 1．What do we know about the author as a child? A．She was patient. B．She was different. C．She got good grades in school. D．She tried to stand out from her classmates. 2．How did the author feel about her diagnosis? A．Thankful. B．Concerned. C．Doubtful. D．Dissatisfied. 3．What made the author’s symptoms worse? A．No recognition from her co-workers. B．Not seeing doctors very often. C．The anxiety about her social relations. D．The stress of her new job. 4．Why did the author set up her own business? A．To support women’s equal rights. B．To help people in the workplace connect more. C．To include more autistic people at work. D．To teach women with autism survival skills. 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．D 4．C 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者从小就表现得跟别人不一样，直到中年，她才被诊断出患有自闭症，她积极面对，并帮助像她一样患有自闭症的女性。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段中“As a child, I didn’t enjoy cartoons like other girls my age, but I did love listening to discussions about politics (政治). I was very talkative and asked too many questions, which wore out the patience of my friends and sometimes even the adults around me. (小时候，我不像其他同龄女孩那样喜欢看动画片，但我确实喜欢听关于政治的讨论。我非常健谈，问了太多的问题，这让我的朋友，有时甚至是我周围的成年人都失去了耐心)”可知，作者小时候与众不同。故选B项。 2．推理判断题。根据第二段中“My diagnosis (诊断) was like discovering a missing piece of my brain, picking it up, putting it in place and feeling whole for the first time. From then on, I started to fully enjoy life. (我的诊断就像发现了我大脑中缺失的一块，把它捡起来，放回原处，第一次感觉自己完整了。从那时起，我开始充分享受生活)”可推知，作者对这次诊断充满感激。故选A项。 3．推理判断题。根据第三段中“In early 2017, I began a new job in which I was being praised and recognised as never before, so I didn’t know how to deal with it. As I neared the end of my one-year work, all the symptoms (症状) of my undiagnosed condition appeared in my working environment: becoming so stressed out because of overwork. (2017年初，我开始了一份新的工作，在这份工作中，我得到了前所未有的表扬和认可，所以我不知道该如何应对。当我一年的工作接近尾声时，我未确诊的病症的所有症状都出现在我的工作环境中：因为工作过度而变得非常紧张)”可推知，来自新工作的压力使作者的情况恶化了。故选D项。 4．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Today, I have my own company called Liberty Co., which suggests that facing the facts brings us freedom. Our goal is to increase the population of people like me in the workplace. It gives me a chance to be a supporter for women with autism. (今天，我有了自己的公司，叫做自由公司，这表明面对事实给我们带来自由。我们的目标是在工作场所增加像我这样的人。这让我有机会成为自闭症女性的支持者)”可推知，作者成立公司的目的是让更多的患有自闭症的人群进入职场。故选C项。 Passage 2 （江苏省扬州市2023-2024学年高二上学期学业水平模拟考试英语试题）Sammie Vance knows it feels bad to be left out. So she has been helping kids who feel lonely make friends. Sammie is 14. When she was in the third grade, she started the Buddy Bench program. That was at her school, in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Anyone who felt lonely could sit on the “buddy bench.” It showed others that someone needed a friend. The bench brought kids together. “There was one little boy at school, younger than me,” Sammie told TIME for Kids. “He would see me in the hallway and give me a thumbs-up. That told me that what I was doing helped him.” It costs money to build benches. Sammie decided to make them out of recycled materials. This lowered the cost. And the benches were eco-friendly. Sammie gathered friends in her community. They collected 1,200 pounds of bottle caps. A company called Green Tree Plastics made three benches with the bottle caps. Sammie has helped communities all over the country set up buddy benches. And she is spreading kindness around the world. “We recently got a bench in Ghana, Africa,” she says. “That was cool.” Sammie reminds us that kids can help their community. Even small acts of kindness can be powerful. “You don’t have to be an adult to make a difference,” she says. Sammie wrote a book. It is called Inspire the World: A Kid’s Journey to Making a Difference. It tells the story of her buddy benches. Sammie hopes her example will inspire others. “I used to be really, really shy,” she says. Building buddy benches gave her confidence. “I’m definitely more outgoing now.” 1．When did Sammie start the Buddy Bench program? A．In the third grade. B．In the fourth grade. C．In the fifth grade. D．In the sixth grade. 2．What does Sammie do to help lonely kids? A．She helps them find a new hobby. B．She introduces them to her friends. C．She starts a program to help them make friends. D．She gives them a thumbs-up to make them happy. 3．How did Sammie lower the cost of making benches? A．She raised money herself. B．She cycled to find materials. C．She turned to her parents. D．She used recycled materials. 4．What does Sammie hope to do by writing a book? A．To inspire children to make differences. B．To raise more money for her journey. C．To build more benches for children. D．To remind children to act like adults. 【答案】1．A 2．C 3．D 4．A 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了Sammie Vance从夏令营中获得灵感，创立了Buddy Bench项目，帮助学校中孤单的人找到朋友，她请求自己的社区帮忙收集瓶盖作为长椅的材料，项目的消息传播出去后，很多不同地方的人都提供了帮助，最终很多学校和公园都得以有了这样的长椅，她的善意产生了影响。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段“When she was in the third grade, she started the Buddy Bench program. (当她上三年级时，她开始了“伙伴长椅”项目。)”可知，Sammie在三年级时启动了“伙伴长椅计划”。故选A。 2．细节理解题。根据第二段“Anyone who felt lonely could sit on the “buddy bench.” It showed others that someone needed a friend. (任何感到孤独的人都可以坐在“伙伴长椅”上。这向其他人表明，有人需要一个朋友。)”可知，Sammie通过“伙伴长椅计划”，让感到孤独的孩子坐在长椅上，提供他们一个表达自己需要朋友的机会。故选C。 3．细节理解题。根据第四段“Sammie decided to make them out of recycled materials. This lowered the cost. And the benches were eco-friendly. (萨米决定用再生材料做它们。这降低了成本。而且这些长椅是环保的。)”可知，Sammie决定利用回收材料制作长椅，来降低成本。故选D。 4． 细节理解题。根据第七段“Sammie reminds us that kids can help their community.

I went into my first contract（合约）determined to make it work. By that I meant to be successful enough to guarantee that I’d be signed again and again. I thought it was a case of Go Big or Go Home. Admittedly, debuting is always stressful, but I definitely made things more difficult by pressuring myself to promote and beating myself up when anything didn’t go well. The odds were not in my favour, with covid-19 spreading and my editor leaving. The thing I feared most happened: my contract wasn’t renewed. I felt absolutely depressed, embarrassed too, that my first book hadn’t sold well. Luckily, I’m in a group of debut authors, so had plenty of support. Over time I watched other people’s journeys with interest. Some debuted straight into the bestseller lists; some had film rights optioned. Others, like me, had a less-than-ideal start. Some had even more difficult times—lost agents, cancelled contracts, dashed hopes. The most important thing I learned is that there is no one fixed path to success and that courage and determination go a long way. I’ve seen authors with a poor sales record getting another shot; those who didn’t start welt sometimes find huge success with their second novel. There are so many different paths and always new things to dream about. Those who’ve read my column from the start might have seen my blind optimism, my crash, my reflection on writerly life. However, I’m pleased that I’m able to write this, my last column, and say that I am finally optimistic, excited, even, about the future, about my ability to diversify, experiment and network and above all, write and write and write. I know there will be lows, but as long as I can write, I’ll be alright. 1．What does the underlined part “Go Big or Go Home” imply about the author? A．Her determination to achieve success. B．Her optimism for the writing career. C．Her confidence in having two options. D．Her fear of potential challenges. 2．What is paragraph 3 of the text mainly about? A．The feedback on the first book. B．The process of releasing the book. C．The strategies of promoting the book. D．The challenges of debuting the book. 3．What lesson has the author learned from the debut authors? A．Well begun, half done. B．All roads lead to Rome. C．Practice makes perfect. D．Great minds think alike. 4．Where is this text probably taken from? A．A scientific journal. B．A literary magazine. C．A book review. D．A private letter. 【答案】1．A 2．D 3．B 4．B 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者作为新晋作家的心路历程，从初入文坛的决心、处女作受挫的经历，到通过观察同行领悟成功路径的多样性，最终重拾写作信心的过程。 1．词句猜测题。根据第二段中“I went into my first contract（合约）determined to make it work. By that I meant to be successful enough to guarantee that I’d be signed again and again. I thought it was a case of Go Big or Go Home.(我签下第一份合约时，就决心要让它成功。我的意思是，我要足够成功，以确保我能一次又一次地签约。我认为这是一个Go Big or Go Home的情况。)” 可知，作者决心通过这份合约实现成功，确保未来能持续获得签约，“Go Big or Go Home”体现的是她对“必须成功”的决心。故选A。 2．主旨大意题。根据第三段“Admittedly, debuting is always stressful, but I definitely made things more difficult by pressuring myself to promote and beating myself up when anything didn’t go well. The odds were not in my favour, with covid-19 spreading and my editor leaving. The thing I feared most happened: my contract wasn’t renewed. I felt absolutely depressed, embarrassed too, that my first book hadn’t sold well.(诚然，首次出版总是有压力的，但我给自己施压去宣传，当事情不顺利时又自责，这无疑让事情变得更难了。形势对我不利，新冠疫情蔓延，我的编辑也离开了。我最担心的事情发生了：我的合约没有续签。我感到非常沮丧，也很尴尬，因为我的第一本书卖得不好。)”可知，第三段主要讲了作者首次出版书籍时面临的挑战。故选D。 3．推理判断题。根据第四段中“The most important thing I learned is that there is no one fixed path to success and that courage and determination go a long way. I’ve seen authors with a poor sales record getting another shot; those who didn’t start well sometimes find huge success with their second novel. There are so many different paths and always new things to dream about.(我学到的最重要的一件事是，成功没有固定的路径，勇气和决心很重要。我看到过销售记录不佳的作者得到了另一次机会；那些一开始表现不好的人有时会在第二部小说上取得巨大成功。有很多不同的道路，总有新的梦想。)”可推知，作者从首次出版的作者那里学到的教训是“条条大路通罗马”。故选B。 4．推理判断题。根据文章内容，尤其是第一段“When I signed my first book deal in 2018, looking forward to the release of my debut（首次亮相）novel in 2020,I knew I was about to embark on an amazing adventure.(2018年，当我签下第一本书的合约，期待着2020年我的首部小说发行时，我知道我即将开始一场奇妙的冒险。)”和最后一段中“Those who’ve read my column from the start might have seen my blind optimism, my crash, my reflection on writerly life.(从一开始就阅读我的专栏的人可能已经看到了我盲目的乐观，我的崩溃，我对作家生活的反思。)”可推知，文章主要讲述了作者作为新晋作家的心路历程，文章可能出自一本文学杂志。故选B。 Passage 4 （江苏省镇江中学镇江一中2025-2026学年高二上学期10月联考英语试题）The idea of climbing Everest sickened me. The mountain came to represent the opposite of everything that I loved and respected about climbing. What had once been the final mountain climbing goal became the focus of a profit-driven guiding industry. Over the years, the crowds at Base Camp grew, leaving behind tons of trash. Whenever I was asked whether I’d climb Everest, my answer was always the same: not interested. That’s probably where my personal Everest story would have ended, were it not for an old friend and his obsession (执念) with one of the greatest mysteries. In 1999, Thom Pollard began to explore and found the remains of George Mallory, the celebrated British climber who disappeared while attempting to be the first to climb Everest. But Mallory’s partner, Sandy Irvine, and the camera he had likely carried, were not found. The mountain climbing world has been wondering whether they might have reached the top in 1924. Pollard’s story moved me. I began to pack for the climb and expected that our advanced equipment would make it manageable, perhaps easy. I was wrong. On the highest point on the planet, I was more tired than I’d ever been in any climbing. Along the way, I continuously tipped my hat, not just to Mallory and Irvine but to anyone who has the drive to push himself or herself up this route. My search failed, but I began to reconsider Everest. I witnessed many climbers, who were much more than just self-centered tourists. We shared route information, weather forecasts, and family photos — all united around common goals. I went to Everest to seek Irvine. But in the end, I found something more difficult to get: the spirit that Irvine and Mallory shared. It was hiding in plain sight, right where it has always been: inside the brave souls who risk so much to follow in storied adventurers’ footsteps up Everest. 1．What was the main reason the author hated climbing Everest? A．His goal changed. B．It was heavily polluted. C．It became a money industry. D．Climbers disturbed its peace. 2．Why did the author climb Everest later? A．He aimed to challenge himself. B．Pollard’s story moved him. C．His friend urged him to go. D．He followed in Mallory’s footsteps. 3．Why did the author tip his hat along the way? A．To thank other climbers. B．To show his determination. C．To ease his tiredness. D．To respect the climbers. 4．What’s the last paragraph mainly about? A．Admiration for climbers. B．Concern about the risk. C．Confidence in the journey. D．Hope for Everest’s future. 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．D 4．A 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者对攀登珠穆朗玛峰的态度从厌恶到因朋友的故事而改变，最终在攀登过程中对珠峰以及攀登者有了新认识的经历。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段“What had once been the final mountain climbing goal became the focus of a profit-driven guiding industry. (曾经的终极登山目标变成了一个受利润驱动的导游行业的焦点)”可知，作者讨厌攀登珠峰的主要原因是它变成了一个逐利的行业。故选C项。 2．细节理解题。根据第三段“Pollard’s story moved me. I began to pack for the climb. (波拉德的故事打动了我，我开始为攀登准备行装)”可知，作者后来攀登珠峰是因为波拉德的故事打动了他。故选B项。 3．细节理解题。根据第三段“Along the way, I continuously tipped my hat, not just to Mallory and Irvine but to anyone who has the drive to push himself or herself up this route. (一路上，我不断地脱帽致敬，不仅向马洛里和欧文致敬，也向所有有动力沿着这条路线攀登的人致敬)”可知，作者一路上脱帽致敬是为了表达对攀登者的尊重。故选D项。 4．主旨大意题。根据最后一段“I went to Everest to seek Irvine. But in the end, I found something more difficult to get: the spirit that Irvine and Mallory shared. It was hiding in plain sight, right where it has always been: inside the brave souls who risk so much to follow in storied adventurers’ footsteps up Everest. (我去珠峰寻找欧文。但最后，我发现了更难得到的东西：欧文和马洛里共有的精神。它就藏在众目睽睽之下，就在它一直存在的地方：在那些冒着巨大风险追随传奇冒险家的脚步登上珠穆朗玛峰的勇敢的灵魂里)”可知，本段主要讲述了作者去珠峰是为了寻找欧文，但最终找到了欧文和马洛里共有的精神，这种精神存在于那些冒着巨大风险追随著名探险家攀登珠峰的勇敢灵魂之中，表达了对攀登者的尊重与钦佩。故选A项。 Passage 5 （江苏省南京市2025-2026学年高二上学期10月七校联合调研试题英语试卷）Mia knelt in the wetland, binoculars pressed to her eyes. Every autumn, she came here to watch the bar-headed geese gather before their southward migration. This year, though, something was off — one goose fell behind the flock, its left wing drooping awkwardly. Mia held her breath, inching closer. She’d learned never to scare wild birds, but this one seemed too weak to fly away. “It might have collided with a power line,” Mr. Torres, from the local wildlife rescue center, said after examining the goose. He gently wrapped its wing in gauze. “Bar-headed geese are extraordinary travelers, but their journey is brutal.” As he spoke, he pulled out a map marked with red lines — their migration (迁徙) route. “They’re one of the highest-flying birds, crossing the Himalayas at 7,000 meters or more. The thin air, freezing temperatures, and sudden storms make each trip a fight for survival.” What makes these geese capable of such feats? Their bodies have unique adaptations: larger lungs to absorb more oxygen, hemoglobin that binds tightly to oxygen, and feathers that trap heat efficiently. Unlike most birds, they can even adjust their metabolism (新陈代谢) to conserve energy during the long flight. For centuries, scientists have marveled at their endurance — ancient Chinese texts once described them as “messengers between heaven and earth”. Over the next month, Mia visited the rescue center every weekend, helping feed the goose she named Cloud. When Mr. Torres finally removed the gauze, Cloud stretched its wings and honked loudly. A week later, Mia stood in the wetland again, watching Cloud join a new flock. As the geese rose into the sky, forming a V-shape to reduce wind resistance, Mia smiled — she’d witnessed not just a bird’s recovery, but the miracle of migration. 1．Why did Mia approach the bar-headed goose carefully? A．Wild birds might attack people. B．Wild birds were easily frightened. C．She wanted to catch it immediately. D．She needed to take photos of it secretly. 2．What did Mr. Torres do for the injured goose? A．He taught it how to fly in a V-shape. B．He sent it to the wildlife rescue center. C．He studied its unique physical structure. D．He examined it and treated its injured wing. 3．What does the example of crossing the Himalayas show? A．The geese prefer to fly at high altitudes. B．The geese’s migration route is easy to track. C．The geese are bad at dealing with bad weather. D．The geese’s migration journey is extremely tough. 4．What is the main purpose of the passage? A．To recommend the way of protecting wild birds. B．To describe Mia’s dream of becoming a wildlife rescuer. C．To tell a story of saving a bird and introduce its migration. D．To illustrate the migration habits of the bar-headed geese. 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．D 4．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Mia发现一只受伤的斑头雁，在野生动物救助中心帮助下使其康复，最终见证它重返雁群继续迁徙的故事，同时介绍了斑头雁的迁徙特点与身体适应性。 1．细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Mia held her breath, inching closer. She’d learned never to scare wild birds, but this one seemed too weak to fly away.(Mia屏住呼吸，慢慢靠近。她知道绝不能惊吓野生鸟类，可这只大雁看起来太虚弱了，根本飞不动。)”可知，Mia知道不能惊吓野生鸟类，所以会小心靠近这只斑头雁。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据文章第二段““It might have collided with a power line,” Mr. Torres, from the local wildlife rescue center, said after examining the goose. He gently wrapped its wing in gauze.(“它可能撞上电线了。”当地野生动物救助中心的Torres先生检查完大雁后说道。他轻轻用纱布包扎好大雁的翅膀。)”可知，Torres先生检查了受伤的斑头雁，并为其受伤的翅膀缠上纱布进行处理。故选D。 3．推理判断题。根据文章第二段“As he spoke, he pulled out a map marked with red lines — their migration (迁徙) route. “They’re one of the highest-flying birds, crossing the Himalayas at 7,000 meters or more. The thin air, freezing temperatures, and sudden storms make each trip a fight for survival.”(说话间，他拿出一张标着红线的地图，那是斑头雁的迁徙路线。“它们是飞行高度最高的鸟类之一，要在海拔7000米甚至更高的地方飞越喜马拉雅山脉。稀薄的空气、严寒的气温，还有突如其来的风暴，让每一次迁徙都成了一场生存之战。”)”可知，飞越喜马拉雅山脉的例子，结合高海拔处稀薄的空气、严寒和突发风暴等艰难条件，体现出斑头雁的迁徙之旅异常艰难。故选D。 4．推理判断题。根据文章第三段“What makes these geese capable of such feats? Their bodies have unique adaptations: larger lungs to absorb more oxygen, hemoglobin that binds tightly to oxygen, and feathers that trap heat efficiently. Unlike most birds, they can even adjust their metabolism (新陈代谢) to conserve energy during the long flight.(是什么让这些大雁能完成如此惊人的壮举？它们的身体有着独特的适应性特征：更大的肺部能吸收更多氧气，血红蛋白能牢牢结合氧气，羽毛能高效锁住热量。与大多数鸟类不同，它们甚至能在长途飞行中调节新陈代谢以节省能量。)”以及全文内容可知，文章主要讲述了Mia发现了受伤斑头雁，联合救助中心使其康复并重返迁徙队伍，同时穿插介绍斑头雁的迁徙艰难与身体适应性。故选C。 Passage 6 （江苏省苏州市姑苏区苏州中学2025-2026学年高二年级上学期10月月考英语试题）“I am so sorry,” I tearfully said to my principal investigator (PI), explaining I would not be able to return to work as originally planned. Before I became a parent, I had assumed a baby would fit right into my academic pursuits. But now, as the end of my leave approached, I realized I couldn’t simply carry on as I always had. I was worried this decision might signal the end of my academic career — but I felt I had no other choice. Thankfully, my PI had more foresight. He told me I didn’t need to resign and that he could offer me a contract that would allow me to contribute to our project from home. It proved to be an absolute career lifeline tailored to me. Then five years after stepping back from academia, I felt ready to re-enter more fully. Because I had been able to keep my hand in during my time away, the prospect was much less formidable than it would have been otherwise. I ended up landing a lecturer position that allowed me to slowly ease back in, focusing on teaching and scholarship with research taking a back seat. And when, 4 years on, a senior lectureship position came up in the very group I had left a decade earlier, the timing was right. With both of my children in “big school”, I was ready to really put my foot down on the career accelerator. I got the job. Now, 6 months into my new role, I am happy to be right where it all began, with involvement in so many interesting projects. But what truly made the difference for me was the offer of what I needed during that time away. I hope more institutions and PIs can come up with creative support for those in their workforce who don’t want to give up their careers but want — or need — to take extended periods of leave. And to those who are taking such breaks, or considering it, know that returning is possible. Above all, on both sides: Please do not discount extended leavers. We have a lot to offer — if we are given the chance. 1．What can we learn about the author from the first paragraph? A．She struck a balance between work and family. B．She chose to sacrifice her family for her career. C．She had intended to stick to her academic plans. D．Her path to PI began when she became a parent. 2．What does the underlined word “formidable” in paragraph 2 mean? A．Realistic. B．Scary. C．Unlikely. D．Appealing. 3．What contributed most to her success according to the author? A．Academic research. B．Interest in the projects. C．Supportive work environment. D．Involvement in engaging projects. 4．What’s the author’s purpose of writing the passage? A．To explain the difficulty in balancing work and life. B．To tell an amusing personal story to readers. C．To report on new job trends within universities. D．To ask for support for workers on long leave. 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．C 4．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。作者讲述了自己成为父母后因为无法回到原来的工作岗位而感到困惑和担忧。然而，幸运的是，研究主任为她提供了一份可以远程参与项目的合同，这成为了她职业生涯的转折点。经过几年的休假，作者感到自己已经准备好重新全职工作，最终找到了一份讲师职位。凭借着之前在离开期间的经验，回归工作并没有那么困难。 1．推理判断题。根据第一段中“Before I became a parent, I had assumed a baby would fit right into my academic pursuits. But now, as the end of my leave approached, I realized I couldn’t simply carry on as I always had. I was worried this decision might signal the end of my academic career — but I felt I had no other choice.(在我为人父母之前，我曾以为有个孩子正好不会影响我的学业计划。但现在，随着我的假期即将结束，我意识到我不能像往常一样简单地继续下去。我担心这个决定可能标志着我学术生涯的结束，但我觉得我别无选择。)”可知，作者之前认为孩子会完全适应她的学术计划，但现在她意识到不能像以前一样继续工作，因此她感到困惑和担忧即作者本来打算坚持自己的学业计划。故选C。 2．词义猜测题 根据第二段中的“Because I had been able to keep my hand in during my time away, the prospect was much less formidable than it would have been otherwise. I ended up landing a lecturer position that allowed me to slowly ease back in...(因为在休假期间我一直没有完全脱离（学术工作），所以重新回归的前景比完全脱离的情况要少一些______。我最终获得了一个讲师职位，能够慢慢重新适应……)” 可知，未完全脱离让回归变得更容易，不那么畏惧。由此推断 “formidable”应表示“困难的、令人畏惧的”。故选B项。 3．细节理解题。根据最后一段中“But what truly made the difference for me was the offer of what I needed during that time away. I hope more institutions and PIs can come up with creative support for those in their workforce who don’t want to give up their careers but want-or need-to take extended periods of leave.(但真正对我产生影响的是在这段时间里我所需要的东西。我希望更多的机构和负责人能够为那些不想放弃自己的事业，但希望或需要延长休假时间的员工提供创造性的规定。)”可知，现在，6个月过去了，作者很高兴回到了一切的起点，在众多有趣的项目中参与其中，但最让其开心的是能够在那段时间离开时得到所需的帮助。因此作者认为最为重要的是支持性的工作环境。故选C。 4．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“But what truly made the difference for me was the offer of what I needed during that time away. I hope more institutions and PIs can come up with creative support for those in their workforce who don’t want to give up their careers but want-or need-to take extended periods of leave. And to those who are taking such breaks, or considering it, know that returning is possible. Above all, on both sides: Please do not discount extended leavers. We have a lot to offer-if we are given the chance.(但真正对我产生影响的是在这段时间里我所需要的东西。我希望更多的机构和负责人能够为那些不想放弃自己的事业，但希望或需要延长休假时间的员工提供创造性的规定。对于那些正在休假或考虑休假的人，要知道，回来是可能的。最重要的是，双方：请不要轻视长期离职者。如果给我们机会，我们有很多东西可以提供。)”可知，从文章最后一段可以看出，作者希望通过自己的经历告诉人们，回归工作是可能的，并呼吁更多的机构和领导提供有创意的设施，不要轻易忽视那些休长期假期的人的能力和价值。因此，作者写作的核心目的是为长期休假的工作者争取支持。故选D。 Passage 7 （江苏省南京市2025-2026学年高三上学期开学英语试题）Holding my newborn baby, I looked at the nurses rushing around me. Little Lou was born with a heart problem and had surgery when he was just 48 hours old. The medical staff took my breath away with how hard they worked. Learning the special bed my baby lay on cost $55,000, I decided to raise that sum for the hospital. By the time Lou turned six months old, he experienced another critical surgery — an 18-hour marathon where the medical team refused to give up. Their skill and perseverance saved him. Though I could never fully express my thanks, I remained determined: I would find a way to raise those funds. During COVID-19, I took an online painting class. I’d always been creative and had worked as a visual designer. While I painted, all my worries disappeared. A mushroom I painted came out better than expected, so I kept at it. I wondered if I could start selling my art so I entered a national competition and was astonished to be a finalist. That competition opened many doors. Soon, I was being contacted by galleries to do solo exhibitions. In my spare time, I’d post my latest work on my newsletter and a buyer would quickly purchase it. I could barely keep up with demand. Every time I sold a painting, I donated money to the Children’s Hospital. Then one day, I was contacted by a woman called Emily, an aerospace engineer who was going to be the 100th woman to go to space. She floated the idea of taking one of my artworks into space. I created a painting for her. It’s about a child in a space suit being lifted by balloons to show Emily’s childhood dream of going to space. The balloons are slightly deflated (泄气的) to show how hard it was but that she never gave up. On November 22, 2024, Emily took my painting to space and helped me raise $21,000. I haven’t reached my $55,000 mark yet but hope to do so soon. Lou, six, will need another heart operation eventually, but he’s currently thriving (茁壮成长). My art uses different shades to show we all have dark times, but if we keep going, we’ll see light again. 1．Why did the author raise money for the hospital? A．To repay its efforts. B．To upgrade its facilities. C．To fund research on heart problems. D．To improve children’s healthcare. 2．What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A．What made the author stand out. B．What COVID-19 brought to the author. C．How the author developed her painting skills. D．How the author’s journey to artistic success began. 3．The author detailed the painting in paragraph 3 to highlight ________. A．the painting’s popularity B．their shared determination C．Emily’s space exploration D．Emily’s childhood memory 4．What does the author’s experience show? A．Dreams shape tomorrow. B．Art benefits heart health. C．Many hands make light work. D．Gratitude fuels creative giving. 【答案】1．A 2．D 3．B 4．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者的孩子出生就患有心脏病，医护人员的全力救治挽救了他的生命。为了表达自己的感激，作者决定为医院筹集特殊病床所花费的费用。在这个过程中，作者的绘画天赋得到展现，帮助她筹到了一部分金额。作者坚信只要坚持努力，就会看到光明。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段“The medical staff took my breath away with how hard they worked. Learning the special bed my baby lay on cost $55,000, I decided to raise that sum for the hospital.(医务人员的工作之努力令人叹为观止。得知我的孩子躺在一张特殊的床上要花费55,000美元，我决定为医院筹集这笔钱)”可知，医务人员对孩子的努力救治使作者决定为医院筹钱，以报答他们所付出的努力。故选A。 2．主旨大意题。根据第二段“During COVID-19, I took an online painting class. I’d always been creative and had worked as a visual designer. While I painted, all my worries disappeared. A mushroom I painted came out better than expected, so I kept at it. I wondered if I could start selling my art so I entered a national competition and was astonished to be a finalist. That competition opened many doors. Soon, I was being contacted by galleries to do solo exhibitions.(在新冠疫情期间，我参加了线上绘画课程。我一直都很有创造力，并且曾从事过视觉设计师的工作。在画画的时候，我所有的烦恼都消失了。我画的一朵蘑菇比预期的还要好，于是我就继续坚持下去。我想知道我是否能够开始出售自己的作品，于是参加了全国性的比赛，结果惊讶地成为了决赛选手。那次比赛为我打开了许多机会之门。很快，我就收到了画廊的邀请，要我举办个人展览)”可知，该段主要讲述了作者是如何开始绘画艺术，并一步步走向成功的。故选D。 3．推理判断题。根据第三段“It’s about a child in a space suit being lifted by balloons to show Emily’s childhood dream of going to space. The balloons are slightly deflated (泄气的) to show how hard it was but that she never gave up.(这是一个关于穿着太空服的孩子被气球托起的画面，以此来展现艾米莉儿时的梦想——去太空旅行。这些气球略微瘪了下去，以此来表现当时是多么艰难，但她从未放弃)”可知，该段对这幅画的详细描述突出了艾米莉在困难面前不放弃的坚持和决心，也反映了作者自己在经历孩子手术、筹钱这些困难时的坚持和决心。故选B。 4．推理判断题。根据第一段“Though I could never fully express my thanks, I remained determined: I would find a way to raise those funds.(尽管我始终无法充分表达自己的感激之情，但我依然坚定地认为：我一定会找到办法筹集到那些资金)”和最后一段“My art uses different shades to show we all have dark times, but if we keep going, we’ll see light again.(我的艺术作品通过不同的色调来展现，我们每个人都会经历低谷时期，但只要我们坚持不懈，终会迎来光明)”以及文章对作者经历的描写可知，作者的经历表明了对医务人员的感激之情，激发了作者卖画为医院筹钱的创意行为。故选D。 Passage 1 （江苏省盐城市七校联盟第二次联考2025-2026学年高三上学期10月月考英语试题）When I was in middle school, the best way that I could describe myself was as a parents’ worst nightmare: I didn’t care about my education, didn’t do my homework and always slept in class. My score was so bad that I still don’t know how I did. I had my reasons for why I didn’t do my best— video games. When I was a teenager playing Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed series, I definitely wasn’t looking to learn things. But with 11 main AC games all set during different times and places in history— like ancient Egypt and Greece—I was bound to learn something, even if just by accident. And I definitely did. One day, my history teacher passed out blank maps of the Caribbean. It was a quiz I had forgotten about. We had to label countries and major cities. Luckily, I’d been playing a lot of Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag, which was set in the Caribbean during the golden age of piracy in the early 18th century. So I was able to draw on my life as a pirate to fill in the map, and I got an A． Ubisoft did a lot of research to recreate ancient Egypt in the game, and they released an educational discovery tour for each game that lets you look around the environment with no violence, enemies, or time constraints (限制). You can learn about the Olympic Games, and how Sparta trained its soldiers in ancient Greece with real historical figures acting as your tour guides, or jump over to ancient Egypt to check out mummies (木乃伊) and climb on the pyramids. Obviously, Assassin’s Creed can’t teach you everything you need to know about the ancient world, but the game does make that world come alive for people who are reluctant to learn, like I was. So, take advantage of these things and your learning should be as enjoyable as possible. 1．Which of the following can best describe the author in middle school? A．A tough nut. B．A black sheep. C．A dark horse. D．A wet blanket. 2．What can we learn from paragraph 3? A．The history test was quite easy. B．Pirates were good at map filling. C．The author owed his A to the game. D．He regrets wasting so much time on games. 3．What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A．Many students are addicted to video games. B．Learning history is necessary for school students. C．Experiential learning is a powerful way of learning. D．Ubisoft accomplishes the educational purpose in its games. 4．What does the author want to convey through the text? A．Playing computer games is harmful to us. B．Games don’t necessarily prevent learning. C．The drawbacks of video games can be minimized. D．Bad grades in school won’t keep you from success. 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．D 4．B 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，作者通过自身经历讲述了电子游戏《刺客信条》如何意外地帮助他学习历史知识，并指出游戏可以成为有趣的学习工具。 1．推理判断题。根据文章第1段“When I was in middle school, the best way that I could describe myself was as a parents’ worst nightmare: I didn’t care about my education, didn’t do my homework and always slept in class. My score was so bad that I still don’t know how I did.(在我上中学的时候，我对自己最贴切的描述就是：是父母最头疼的孩子。我根本不重视学业，不做作业，还在课堂上睡觉。我的成绩太差了，至今我都搞不清楚自己到底考了多少分。)”可知，作者在中学时，不关心学业、不写作业、总在课堂上睡觉，是父母最糟糕的噩梦，因此推断作者中学时是“问题学生” 。 故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据第三段“Luckily, I’d been playing a lot of Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag, which was set in the Caribbean during the golden age of piracy in the early 18th century. So I was able to draw on my life as a pirate to fill in the map, and I got an A.(幸运的是，我之前玩了很多《刺客信条：黑旗》这款游戏，该游戏的故事背景设定在18 世纪初海盗活动最为兴盛的加勒比海地区。因此，我能够凭借自己作为海盗的经历来完善地图，最终还获得了“A”的成绩。)”可知，幸运的是，作者玩了《黑旗》游戏，懂得许多地理知识，因此填对了地图并得了A ，因此可知，游戏知识帮助作者通过考试。故选C。 3．主旨大意题。根据第4段内容“Ubisoft did a lot of research to recreate ancient Egypt in the game, and they released an educational discovery tour for each game that lets you look around the environment with no violence, enemies, or time constraints (限制). You can learn about the Olympic Games, and how Sparta trained its soldiers in ancient Greece with real historical figures acting as your tour guides, or jump over to ancient Egypt to check out mummies (木乃伊) and climb on the pyramids.( Ubisoft公司在游戏中对古埃及进行了大量还原工作，并为每一款游戏都推出了一个教育性的探索之旅，让您可以在没有暴力、没有敌人、也没有时间限制的情况下游览游戏中的环境。您可以了解古代奥运会的相关内容，还可以在古希腊的斯巴达了解士兵的训练方式，届时会有真实的历史人物担任您的导游。或者您也可以前往古埃及，参观木乃伊并登上金字塔。)”可知，第四段主要描述Ubisoft在游戏中融入教育功能，如教育探索模式，学习奥运会知识，查看木乃伊等等，说明游戏实现了教育目的。故选D。 4．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Obviously, Assassin’s Creed can’t teach you everything you need to know about the ancient world, but the game does make that world come alive for people who are reluctant to learn, like I was. So, take advantage of these things and your earning should be as enjoyable as possible.(显然，《刺客信条》并不能教会你关于古代世界的所有知识，但这款游戏确实能让那些不愿学习的人（比如我之前就是这种情况）感受到那个古老世界的魅力。所以，充分利用这些元素，你的获得就能尽可能地充满乐趣了。)”可知，游戏让历史生动起来，充分利用这些元素，学习会应尽可能有趣，并结合全文可推断，全文通过作者经历传递的核心信息是：游戏未必阻碍学习。故选B。 Passage 2 （江苏省镇江南京联盟校2025-2026学年高三上学期10月月考英语试题）Pang Zhongwang, a 26-year-old PhD candidate in precision instruments at Tsinghua University, has recently been appointed as a think-tank expert and culture-tourism ambassador for his hometown Wuqiao County, Hebei Province. This appointment has returned him to the public spotlight years after his initial fame. Pang first gained national attention in 2017 when he scored an impressive 684/750 in the gaokao despite significant family challenges. His father lives with schizophrenia while his mother had lower limb disability. His outstanding performance earned him admission to the prestigious Tsinghua University. Despite media portrayals of his financial struggles, Pang notably declined financial assistance from entrepreneurs. He’s now excelling in his PhD program, having published several papers in peer-reviewed journals. Tragically, Pang’s mother, who had the greatest influence on his life, passed away in 2020 at 48. “I found it hard to express my feelings to my mother when she was alive,” Pang recalled. “I might have told her, ‘Look, I’m doing pretty well.’” From childhood, Pang shouldered household responsibilities and cared for his parents. His grandparents provided primary financial support. Sometimes he borrowed from neighbors for his mother’s medical expenses. Before the gaokao, while classmates focused solely on studies, Pang collected recyclables to generate family income. His mother once told media: “This child is my greatest hope. I never studied, so I deeply respect educated people. I just urged him to study hard.” Pang credits his optimism to his mother’s teachings. “She always encouraged looking forward. She smiled daily, so why should I dwell on sadness?” His recent speech declaration —“Our generation’s mission is to serve the country through scientific research” — became a social media sensation. Online comments praise him as an inspiration for disadvantaged youth. 1．What is the main reason for which Pang regained media attention recently? A．He has published groundbreaking research. B．He has new responsibilities for his hometown. C．He gave a viral speech at Tsinghua University. D．He started a charity for disadvantaged youth. 2．How did Pang help support his family in his middle school? A．By getting financial aid from entrepreneurs. B．By relying on his grandparents’ support. C．By borrowing money from neighbors. D．By collecting garbage to earn money. 3．Which quality does Pang credit to his mother’s teaching? A．Independence B．Intelligence C．Optimism D．Persistence 4．What can be reasonably inferred from the passage about Pang Zhongwang? A．His mother’s attitude played a key role in shaping his personality. B．He accepted help from entrepreneurs for his education at Tsinghua. C．He stopped taking care of his family after he started his PhD program. D．His recent appointment marked his first time to receive public attention. 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．C 4．A 【导语】 本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了一位名叫庞众望的清华学子的励志故事。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段“Pang Zhongwang, a 26-year-old PhD candidate in precision instruments at Tsinghua University, has recently been appointed as a think-tank expert and culture-tourism ambassador for his hometown Wuqiao County, Hebei Province. This appointment has returned him to the public spotlight years after his initial fame.( 26岁的庞众望是清华大学精密仪器专业的博士生，他最近被任命为他的家乡河北省吴桥县的智库专家和文化旅游大使。这一任命使他在成名多年后重新回到公众的聚光灯下。)”可知，庞众望重新获得媒体关注的主要原因是在家乡有了新职责。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据第五段“Before the gaokao, while classmates focused solely on studies, Pang collected recyclables to generate family income.(高考前，当同学们只专注于学习时，庞收集可回收物品来赚取家庭收入。)”可知，庞众望在中学时通过收集垃圾赚钱，帮助支撑家庭。故选D。 3．细节理解题。根据第六段“Pang credits his optimism to his mother’s teachings. “She always encouraged looking forward. She smiled daily, so why should I dwell on sadness?”(庞将他的乐观归功于母亲的教诲。她总是鼓励人们向前看。她每天都在微笑，我为什么要沉湎于悲伤呢？”)”可知，庞众望将他的乐观归功于他母亲的教导。故选C。 4．推理判断题。根据第六段“Pang credits his optimism to his mother’s teachings. “She always encouraged looking forward. She smiled daily, so why should I dwell on sadness?”(庞将他的乐观归功于母亲的教诲。她总是鼓励人们向前看。她每天都在微笑，我为什么要沉湎于悲伤呢？”)”及全文可知，文章多次提到母亲对他的影响，特别是教导他向前看、保持微笑，塑造了他的乐观性格。故选A。 Passage 3 （江苏省镇江南京联盟校2025-2026学年高三上学期10月月考英语试题）Thomas stood on the weathered stone steps of the coastal lighthouse, his rough hands gripping the rusted rail. At 72, his hair had faded to the color of sea foam, but his eyes still held the sharp light of someone who’d spent decades reading the ocean’s moods. For 45 years, he’d tended this lighthouse, guiding ships through the treacherous rocks that stuck out like broken teeth from the gray water below. “Another storm coming,” he muttered, straining his eyes at the dark clouds rolling in from the horizon. As a boy, Thomas had visited the lighthouse with his father, who’d been a fisherman. He still remembered the way his father’s voice had softened when he spoke of the keeper: “He’s the eyes of the coast, Tom. Without him, we’d be lost.” Those words had stuck with Thomas, and when the old keeper retired 45 years ago, he’d taken the job without hesitation. Over the years, he’d seen it all: ships narrowly avoiding disaster, sailors waving from decks as they passed, even a family of seagulls that had nested in the lighthouse’s tower for three summers. But the lighthouse wasn’t just a job to him — it was a promise. A promise to keep the sea’s travelers safe, to honor the father he’d lost to a storm decades earlier. Last month, the town council had visited with news: they planned to replace the lighthouse with an automated system. “It’s more efficient,” they’d said, their voices polite but firm. Thomas had nodded, but inside, a part of him felt as if the ground had shifted beneath his feet. How could a machine understand the sea the way he did? That night, as the storm hit, Thomas climbed the narrow spiral staircase to the lantern room. He lit the old oil lamp — something he hadn’t done in years, since the electric bulb was installed — and watched as its warm glow spilled over the rolling waves. For a moment, he felt like a boy again, standing beside his father, listening to the sea’s song. Down below, a small fishing boat appeared, its lights flickering in the storm. Thomas held his breath, watching as the boat’s captain steered toward the harbor, guided by the lighthouse’s beam. When the boat safely reached shore, he let out a sigh, a small smile at his lips. Maybe the automated system would come. Maybe the lighthouse would fall quiet. But Thomas knew that some promises — like the one he’d made to his father, to the sea, to the sailors who relied on him — would never fade. 1．What does the underlined word “treacherous” most likely mean in the sentence? A．Rough. B．Dangerous. C．Slippery. D．Uncommon. 2．How did Thomas feel when he heard about the automated system? A．Upset and uncertain about the future. B．Indifferent to the council’s decision. C．Excited about the new technology. D．Angry and ready to fight the plan. 3．What does the fishing boat incident in the last paragraph but one mainly show? A．The danger of sailing in storms. B．Thomas’ skill in operating the oil lamp. C．The importance of the lighthouse to sailors. D．The council’s mistake in replacing the lighthouse. 4．Which of the following would be the most appropriate title for the passage? A．An Unforgettable Coastal Lighthouse. B．A Stormy Night at the Lighthouse. C．An Advanced Automated System. D．A Persistent Lighthouse Keeper. 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．C 4．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了老灯塔看守人托马斯坚守岗位45年，指引船只安全航行。面对自动化系统取代，他内心失落但依然坚守承诺。 1．词句猜测题。根据文章第一段中“For 45 years, he’d tended this lighthouse, guiding ships through the treacherous rocks that stuck out like broken teeth from the gray water below.”(45年来，他一直照料着这座灯塔，引导船只穿过那些像从下面灰色海水中伸出的断牙一样……的礁石。)可知，这些礁石像从下面灰色海水中伸出的断牙一样，对于船只来说是非常危险的，容易引发事故。B项“Dangerous.(危险的)”符合题意。故选B项。 2．推理判断题。根据文章第五段中“Thomas had nodded, but inside, a part of him felt as if the ground had shifted beneath his feet. How could a machine understand the sea the way he did? (托马斯点了点头，但内心深处，他觉得自己脚下的地面仿佛都移动了。机器怎么能像他一样理解大海呢？)”可知，托马斯听到要用自动化系统取代灯塔时，内心感到不安，对未来充满了不确定。结合选项，A项“Upset and uncertain about the future. (对未来感到不安和不确定。)”符合题意。故选A项。 3．推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段中“Down below, a small fishing boat appeared, its lights flickering in the storm. Thomas held his breath, watching as the boat’s captain steered toward the harbor, guided by the lighthouse’s beam. When the boat safely reached shore, he let out a sigh, a small smile at his lips. (在下方，一艘小渔船出现了，它的灯光在风暴中闪烁。托马斯屏住呼吸，看着船长在灯塔光束的指引下驶向港口。当船安全抵达岸边时，他松了一口气，嘴角露出了一丝微笑。)”可知，渔船在风暴中依靠灯塔的指引安全抵达岸边，这主要展示了灯塔对水手们的重要性。故选C项。 4．主旨大意题。根据文章内容可知，文章主要讲述了托马斯作为灯塔守护者，45年来一直坚守岗位，为船只指引方向，即使面临自动化系统的取代，他依然坚守着自己的承诺，认为有些承诺永远不会褪色。D项“A Persistent Lighthouse Keeper. (一位坚持不懈的灯塔守护者。)”最能概括文章主旨，适合作为标题，故选D项。 3 / 18 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 专题02 阅读理解（记叙文） 题号 难度 知识点 1 适中 疾病 ,记叙文,善行义举（个人） 2 适中 记叙文,善行义举（个人） 3 适中 记叙文,个人经历 4 适中 记叙文,生活故事,登山探险 5 适中 人与动植物,记叙文 6 适中 记叙文,个人经历 7 适中 医护人员,记叙文,坚韧 8 较难 游戏,记叙文,个人经历 9 较难 家人和亲人 ,记叙文,励志故事 10 较难 记叙文,其他著名人物,生活故事 Passage 1 （江苏省扬州市2023-2024学年高二上学期学业水平模拟考试英语试题）As a child, I didn’t enjoy cartoons like other girls my age, but I did love listening to discussions about politics (政治). I was very talkative and asked too many questions, which wore out the patience of my friends and sometimes even the adults around me. My Grade 4 report summarized my social relations with “needs improvement”. It wasn’t until I turned 46 that I learned my uniqueness has a name — autism (自闭症). My diagnosis (诊断) was like discovering a missing piece of my brain, picking it up, putting it in place and feeling whole for the first time. From then on, I started to fully enjoy life. What I’ve found out since is that there are a number of others like me — people who weren’t diagnosed as having autism until midlife. In my 20s, I talked with a doctor about my growing anxiety. But autism never entered the conversation. In early 2017, I began a new job in which I was being praised and recognised as never before, so I didn’t know how to deal with it. As I neared the end of my one-year work, all the symptoms (症状) of my undiagnosed condition appeared in my working environment: becoming so stressed out because of overwork. Then, two months later, I received my diagnosis. Finally everything started to make sense. Today, I have my own company called Liberty Co., which suggests that facing the facts brings us freedom. Our goal is to increase the population of people like me in the workplace. It gives me a chance to be a supporter for women with autism. 1．What do we know about the author as a child? A．She was patient. B．She was different. C．She got good grades in school. D．She tried to stand out from her classmates. 2．How did the author feel about her diagnosis? A．Thankful. B．Concerned. C．Doubtful. D．Dissatisfied. 3．What made the author’s symptoms worse? A．No recognition from her co-workers. B．Not seeing doctors very often. C．The anxiety about her social relations. D．The stress of her new job. 4．Why did the author set up her own business? A．To support women’s equal rights. B．To help people in the workplace connect more. C．To include more autistic people at work. D．To teach women with autism survival skills. Passage 2 （江苏省扬州市2023-2024学年高二上学期学业水平模拟考试英语试题）Sammie Vance knows it feels bad to be left out. So she has been helping kids who feel lonely make friends. Sammie is 14. When she was in the third grade, she started the Buddy Bench program. That was at her school, in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Anyone who felt lonely could sit on the “buddy bench.” It showed others that someone needed a friend. The bench brought kids together. “There was one little boy at school, younger than me,” Sammie told TIME for Kids. “He would see me in the hallway and give me a thumbs-up. That told me that what I was doing helped him.” It costs money to build benches. Sammie decided to make them out of recycled materials. This lowered the cost. And the benches were eco-friendly. Sammie gathered friends in her community. They collected 1,200 pounds of bottle caps. A company called Green Tree Plastics made three benches with the bottle caps. Sammie has helped communities all over the country set up buddy benches. And she is spreading kindness around the world. “We recently got a bench in Ghana, Africa,” she says. “That was cool.” Sammie reminds us that kids can help their community. Even small acts of kindness can be powerful. “You don’t have to be an adult to make a difference,” she says. Sammie wrote a book. It is called Inspire the World: A Kid’s Journey to Making a Difference. It tells the story of her buddy benches. Sammie hopes her example will inspire others. “I used to be really, really shy,” she says. Building buddy benches gave her confidence. “I’m definitely more outgoing now.” 1．When did Sammie start the Buddy Bench program? A．In the third grade. B．In the fourth grade. C．In the fifth grade. D．In the sixth grade. 2．What does Sammie do to help lonely kids? A．She helps them find a new hobby. B．She introduces them to her friends. C．She starts a program to help them make friends. D．She gives them a thumbs-up to make them happy. 3．How did Sammie lower the cost of making benches? A．She raised money herself. B．She cycled to find materials. C．She turned to her parents. D．She used recycled materials. 4．What does Sammie hope to do by writing a book? A．To inspire children to make differences. B．To raise more money for her journey. C．To build more benches for children. D．To remind children to act like adults. Passage 3 （江苏省西安交通大学苏州附属中学2025-2026学年高二上学期第一次阶段练习英语试题）When I signed my first book deal in 2018, looking forward to the release of my debut（首次亮相）novel in 2020,I knew I was about to embark on an amazing adventure. I went into my first contract（合约）determined to make it work. By that I meant to be successful enough to guarantee that I’d be signed again and again. I thought it was a case of Go Big or Go Home. Admittedly, debuting is always stressful, but I definitely made things more difficult by pressuring myself to promote and beating myself up when anything didn’t go well. The odds were not in my favour, with covid-19 spreading and my editor leaving. The thing I feared most happened: my contract wasn’t renewed. I felt absolutely depressed, embarrassed too, that my first book hadn’t sold well. Luckily, I’m in a group of debut authors, so had plenty of support. Over time I watched other people’s journeys with interest. Some debuted straight into the bestseller lists; some had film rights optioned. Others, like me, had a less-than-ideal start. Some had even more difficult times—lost agents, cancelled contracts, dashed hopes. The most important thing I learned is that there is no one fixed path to success and that courage and determination go a long way. I’ve seen authors with a poor sales record getting another shot; those who didn’t start welt sometimes find huge success with their second novel. There are so many different paths and always new things to dream about. Those who’ve read my column from the start might have seen my blind optimism, my crash, my reflection on writerly life. However, I’m pleased that I’m able to write this, my last column, and say that I am finally optimistic, excited, even, about the future, about my ability to diversify, experiment and network and above all, write and write and write. I know there will be lows, but as long as I can write, I’ll be alright. 1．What does the underlined part “Go Big or Go Home” imply about the author? A．Her determination to achieve success. B．Her optimism for the writing career. C．Her confidence in having two options. D．Her fear of potential challenges. 2．What is paragraph 3 of the text mainly about? A．The feedback on the first book. B．The process of releasing the book. C．The strategies of promoting the book. D．The challenges of debuting the book. 3．What lesson has the author learned from the debut authors? A．Well begun, half done. B．All roads lead to Rome. C．Practice makes perfect. D．Great minds think alike. 4．Where is this text probably taken from? A．A scientific journal. B．A literary magazine. C．A book review. D．A private letter. Passage 4 （江苏省镇江中学镇江一中2025-2026学年高二上学期10月联考英语试题）The idea of climbing Everest sickened me. The mountain came to represent the opposite of everything that I loved and respected about climbing. What had once been the final mountain climbing goal became the focus of a profit-driven guiding industry. Over the years, the crowds at Base Camp grew, leaving behind tons of trash. Whenever I was asked whether I’d climb Everest, my answer was always the same: not interested. That’s probably where my personal Everest story would have ended, were it not for an old friend and his obsession (执念) with one of the greatest mysteries. In 1999, Thom Pollard began to explore and found the remains of George Mallory, the celebrated British climber who disappeared while attempting to be the first to climb Everest. But Mallory’s partner, Sandy Irvine, and the camera he had likely carried, were not found. The mountain climbing world has been wondering whether they might have reached the top in 1924. Pollard’s story moved me. I began to pack for the climb and expected that our advanced equipment would make it manageable, perhaps easy. I was wrong. On the highest point on the planet, I was more tired than I’d ever been in any climbing. Along the way, I continuously tipped my hat, not just to Mallory and Irvine but to anyone who has the drive to push himself or herself up this route. My search failed, but I began to reconsider Everest. I witnessed many climbers, who were much more than just self-centered tourists. We shared route information, weather forecasts, and family photos — all united around common goals. I went to Everest to seek Irvine. But in the end, I found something more difficult to get: the spirit that Irvine and Mallory shared. It was hiding in plain sight, right where it has always been: inside the brave souls who risk so much to follow in storied adventurers’ footsteps up Everest. 1．What was the main reason the author hated climbing Everest?

Every autumn, she came here to watch the bar-headed geese gather before their southward migration. This year, though, something was off — one goose fell behind the flock, its left wing drooping awkwardly. Mia held her breath, inching closer. She’d learned never to scare wild birds, but this one seemed too weak to fly away. “It might have collided with a power line,” Mr. Torres, from the local wildlife rescue center, said after examining the goose. He gently wrapped its wing in gauze. “Bar-headed geese are extraordinary travelers, but their journey is brutal.” As he spoke, he pulled out a map marked with red lines — their migration (迁徙) route. “They’re one of the highest-flying birds, crossing the Himalayas at 7,000 meters or more. The thin air, freezing temperatures, and sudden storms make each trip a fight for survival.” What makes these geese capable of such feats? Their bodies have unique adaptations: larger lungs to absorb more oxygen, hemoglobin that binds tightly to oxygen, and feathers that trap heat efficiently. Unlike most birds, they can even adjust their metabolism (新陈代谢) to conserve energy during the long flight. For centuries, scientists have marveled at their endurance — ancient Chinese texts once described them as “messengers between heaven and earth”. Over the next month, Mia visited the rescue center every weekend, helping feed the goose she named Cloud. When Mr. Torres finally removed the gauze, Cloud stretched its wings and honked loudly. A week later, Mia stood in the wetland again, watching Cloud join a new flock. As the geese rose into the sky, forming a V-shape to reduce wind resistance, Mia smiled — she’d witnessed not just a bird’s recovery, but the miracle of migration. 1．Why did Mia approach the bar-headed goose carefully? A．Wild birds might attack people. B．Wild birds were easily frightened. C．She wanted to catch it immediately. D．She needed to take photos of it secretly. 2．What did Mr. Torres do for the injured goose? A．He taught it how to fly in a V-shape. B．He sent it to the wildlife rescue center. C．He studied its unique physical structure. D．He examined it and treated its injured wing. 3．What does the example of crossing the Himalayas show? A．The geese prefer to fly at high altitudes. B．The geese’s migration route is easy to track. C．The geese are bad at dealing with bad weather. D．The geese’s migration journey is extremely tough. 4．What is the main purpose of the passage? A．To recommend the way of protecting wild birds. B．To describe Mia’s dream of becoming a wildlife rescuer. C．To tell a story of saving a bird and introduce its migration. D．To illustrate the migration habits of the bar-headed geese. Passage 6 （江苏省苏州市姑苏区苏州中学2025-2026学年高二年级上学期10月月考英语试题）“I am so sorry,” I tearfully said to my principal investigator (PI), explaining I would not be able to return to work as originally planned. Before I became a parent, I had assumed a baby would fit right into my academic pursuits. But now, as the end of my leave approached, I realized I couldn’t simply carry on as I always had. I was worried this decision might signal the end of my academic career — but I felt I had no other choice. Thankfully, my PI had more foresight. He told me I didn’t need to resign and that he could offer me a contract that would allow me to contribute to our project from home. It proved to be an absolute career lifeline tailored to me. Then five years after stepping back from academia, I felt ready to re-enter more fully. Because I had been able to keep my hand in during my time away, the prospect was much less formidable than it would have been otherwise. I ended up landing a lecturer position that allowed me to slowly ease back in, focusing on teaching and scholarship with research taking a back seat. And when, 4 years on, a senior lectureship position came up in the very group I had left a decade earlier, the timing was right. With both of my children in “big school”, I was ready to really put my foot down on the career accelerator. I got the job. Now, 6 months into my new role, I am happy to be right where it all began, with involvement in so many interesting projects. But what truly made the difference for me was the offer of what I needed during that time away. I hope more institutions and PIs can come up with creative support for those in their workforce who don’t want to give up their careers but want — or need — to take extended periods of leave. And to those who are taking such breaks, or considering it, know that returning is possible. Above all, on both sides: Please do not discount extended leavers. We have a lot to offer — if we are given the chance. 1．What can we learn about the author from the first paragraph? A．She struck a balance between work and family. B．She chose to sacrifice her family for her career. C．She had intended to stick to her academic plans. D．Her path to PI began when she became a parent. 2．What does the underlined word “formidable” in paragraph 2 mean? A．Realistic. B．Scary. C．Unlikely. D．Appealing. 3．What contributed most to her success according to the author? A．Academic research. B．Interest in the projects. C．Supportive work environment. D．Involvement in engaging projects. 4．What’s the author’s purpose of writing the passage? A．To explain the difficulty in balancing work and life. B．To tell an amusing personal story to readers. C．To report on new job trends within universities. D．To ask for support for workers on long leave. Passage 7 （江苏省南京市2025-2026学年高三上学期开学英语试题）Holding my newborn baby, I looked at the nurses rushing around me. Little Lou was born with a heart problem and had surgery when he was just 48 hours old. The medical staff took my breath away with how hard they worked. Learning the special bed my baby lay on cost $55,000, I decided to raise that sum for the hospital. By the time Lou turned six months old, he experienced another critical surgery — an 18-hour marathon where the medical team refused to give up. Their skill and perseverance saved him. Though I could never fully express my thanks, I remained determined: I would find a way to raise those funds. During COVID-19, I took an online painting class. I’d always been creative and had worked as a visual designer. While I painted, all my worries disappeared. A mushroom I painted came out better than expected, so I kept at it. I wondered if I could start selling my art so I entered a national competition and was astonished to be a finalist. That competition opened many doors. Soon, I was being contacted by galleries to do solo exhibitions. In my spare time, I’d post my latest work on my newsletter and a buyer would quickly purchase it. I could barely keep up with demand. Every time I sold a painting, I donated money to the Children’s Hospital. Then one day, I was contacted by a woman called Emily, an aerospace engineer who was going to be the 100th woman to go to space. She floated the idea of taking one of my artworks into space. I created a painting for her. It’s about a child in a space suit being lifted by balloons to show Emily’s childhood dream of going to space. The balloons are slightly deflated (泄气的) to show how hard it was but that she never gave up. On November 22, 2024, Emily took my painting to space and helped me raise $21,000. I haven’t reached my $55,000 mark yet but hope to do so soon. Lou, six, will need another heart operation eventually, but he’s currently thriving (茁壮成长). My art uses different shades to show we all have dark times, but if we keep going, we’ll see light again. 1．Why did the author raise money for the hospital? A．To repay its efforts. B．To upgrade its facilities. C．To fund research on heart problems. D．To improve children’s healthcare. 2．What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A．What made the author stand out. B．What COVID-19 brought to the author. C．How the author developed her painting skills. D．How the author’s journey to artistic success began. 3．The author detailed the painting in paragraph 3 to highlight ________. A．the painting’s popularity B．their shared determination C．Emily’s space exploration D．Emily’s childhood memory 4．What does the author’s experience show? A．Dreams shape tomorrow. B．Art benefits heart health. C．Many hands make light work. D．Gratitude fuels creative giving. Passage 1 （江苏省盐城市七校联盟第二次联考2025-2026学年高三上学期10月月考英语试题）When I was in middle school, the best way that I could describe myself was as a parents’ worst nightmare: I didn’t care about my education, didn’t do my homework and always slept in class. My score was so bad that I still don’t know how I did. I had my reasons for why I didn’t do my best— video games. When I was a teenager playing Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed series, I definitely wasn’t looking to learn things. But with 11 main AC games all set during different times and places in history— like ancient Egypt and Greece—I was bound to learn something, even if just by accident. And I definitely did. One day, my history teacher passed out blank maps of the Caribbean. It was a quiz I had forgotten about. We had to label countries and major cities. Luckily, I’d been playing a lot of Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag, which was set in the Caribbean during the golden age of piracy in the early 18th century. So I was able to draw on my life as a pirate to fill in the map, and I got an A． Ubisoft did a lot of research to recreate ancient Egypt in the game, and they released an educational discovery tour for each game that lets you look around the environment with no violence, enemies, or time constraints (限制). You can learn about the Olympic Games, and how Sparta trained its soldiers in ancient Greece with real historical figures acting as your tour guides, or jump over to ancient Egypt to check out mummies (木乃伊) and climb on the pyramids. Obviously, Assassin’s Creed can’t teach you everything you need to know about the ancient world, but the game does make that world come alive for people who are reluctant to learn, like I was. So, take advantage of these things and your learning should be as enjoyable as possible. 1．Which of the following can best describe the author in middle school? A．A tough nut. B．A black sheep. C．A dark horse. D．A wet blanket. 2．What can we learn from paragraph 3? A．The history test was quite easy. B．Pirates were good at map filling. C．The author owed his A to the game. D．He regrets wasting so much time on games. 3．What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A．Many students are addicted to video games. B．Learning history is necessary for school students. C．Experiential learning is a powerful way of learning. D．Ubisoft accomplishes the educational purpose in its games. 4．What does the author want to convey through the text? A．Playing computer games is harmful to us. B．Games don’t necessarily prevent learning. C．The drawbacks of video games can be minimized. D．Bad grades in school won’t keep you from success. Passage 2 （江苏省镇江南京联盟校2025-2026学年高三上学期10月月考英语试题）Pang Zhongwang, a 26-year-old PhD candidate in precision instruments at Tsinghua University, has recently been appointed as a think-tank expert and culture-tourism ambassador for his hometown Wuqiao County, Hebei Province. This appointment has returned him to the public spotlight years after his initial fame. Pang first gained national attention in 2017 when he scored an impressive 684/750 in the gaokao despite significant family challenges. His father lives with schizophrenia while his mother had lower limb disability. His outstanding performance earned him admission to the prestigious Tsinghua University. Despite media portrayals of his financial struggles, Pang notably declined financial assistance from entrepreneurs. He’s now excelling in his PhD program, having published several papers in peer-reviewed journals. Tragically, Pang’s mother, who had the greatest influence on his life, passed away in 2020 at 48. “I found it hard to express my feelings to my mother when she was alive,” Pang recalled. “I might have told her, ‘Look, I’m doing pretty well.’” From childhood, Pang shouldered household responsibilities and cared for his parents. His grandparents provided primary financial support. Sometimes he borrowed from neighbors for his mother’s medical expenses. Before the gaokao, while classmates focused solely on studies, Pang collected recyclables to generate family income. His mother once told media: “This child is my greatest hope. I never studied, so I deeply respect educated people. I just urged him to study hard.” Pang credits his optimism to his mother’s teachings. “She always encouraged looking forward. She smiled daily, so why should I dwell on sadness?” His recent speech declaration —“Our generation’s mission is to serve the country through scientific research” — became a social media sensation. Online comments praise him as an inspiration for disadvantaged youth. 1．What is the main reason for which Pang regained media attention recently? A．He has published groundbreaking research. B．He has new responsibilities for his hometown. C．He gave a viral speech at Tsinghua University. D．He started a charity for disadvantaged youth. 2．How did Pang help support his family in his middle school? A．By getting financial aid from entrepreneurs. B．By relying on his grandparents’ support. C．By borrowing money from neighbors. D．By collecting garbage to earn money. 3．Which quality does Pang credit to his mother’s teaching? A．Independence B．Intelligence C．Optimism D．Persistence 4．What can be reasonably inferred from the passage about Pang Zhongwang? A．His mother’s attitude played a key role in shaping his personality. B．He accepted help from entrepreneurs for his education at Tsinghua. C．He stopped taking care of his family after he started his PhD program. D．His recent appointment marked his first time to receive public attention. Passage 3 （江苏省镇江南京联盟校2025-2026学年高三上学期10月月考英语试题）Thomas stood on the weathered stone steps of the coastal lighthouse, his rough hands gripping the rusted rail. At 72, his hair had faded to the color of sea foam, but his eyes still held the sharp light of someone who’d spent decades reading the ocean’s moods. For 45 years, he’d tended this lighthouse, guiding ships through the treacherous rocks that stuck out like broken teeth from the gray water below. “Another storm coming,” he muttered, straining his eyes at the dark clouds rolling in from the horizon. As a boy, Thomas had visited the lighthouse with his father, who’d been a fisherman. He still remembered the way his father’s voice had softened when he spoke of the keeper: “He’s the eyes of the coast, Tom. Without him, we’d be lost.” Those words had stuck with Thomas, and when the old keeper retired 45 years ago, he’d taken the job without hesitation. Over the years, he’d seen it all: ships narrowly avoiding disaster, sailors waving from decks as they passed, even a family of seagulls that had nested in the lighthouse’s tower for three summers. But the lighthouse wasn’t just a job to him — it was a promise. A promise to keep the sea’s travelers safe, to honor the father he’d lost to a storm decades earlier. Last month, the town council had visited with news: they planned to replace the lighthouse with an automated system. “It’s more efficient,” they’d said, their voices polite but firm. Thomas had nodded, but inside, a part of him felt as if the ground had shifted beneath his feet. How could a machine understand the sea the way he did? That night, as the storm hit, Thomas climbed the narrow spiral staircase to the lantern room. He lit the old oil lamp — something he hadn’t done in years, since the electric bulb was installed — and watched as its warm glow spilled over the rolling waves. For a moment, he felt like a boy again, standing beside his father, listening to the sea’s song. Down below, a small fishing boat appeared, its lights flickering in the storm. Thomas held his breath, watching as the boat’s captain steered toward the harbor, guided by the lighthouse’s beam. When the boat safely reached shore, he let out a sigh, a small smile at his lips. Maybe the automated system would come. Maybe the lighthouse would fall quiet. But Thomas knew that some promises — like the one he’d made to his father, to the sea, to the sailors who relied on him — would never fade. 1．What does the underlined word “treacherous” most likely mean in the sentence? A．Rough. B．Dangerous. C．Slippery. D．Uncommon. 2．How did Thomas feel when he heard about the automated system? A．Upset and uncertain about the future. B．Indifferent to the council’s decision. C．Excited about the new technology. D．Angry and ready to fight the plan. 3．What does the fishing boat incident in the last paragraph but one mainly show? A．The danger of sailing in storms. B．Thomas’ skill in operating the oil lamp. C．The importance of the lighthouse to sailors. D．The council’s mistake in replacing the lighthouse. 4．Which of the following would be the most appropriate title for the passage? A．An Unforgettable Coastal Lighthouse. B．A Stormy Night at the Lighthouse. C．An Advanced Automated System. D．A Persistent Lighthouse Keeper. 3 / 18 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
