专题02 阅读理解（记叙文） Passage 1 人与自我——生活与学习 （24-25高一上·湖南长沙市湖南师大附中·期末） As a young person, I never thought of myself as a sports enthusiast because I was quite clumsy. But there was one thing I enjoyed: running. It felt like I was soaring (翱翔) through the air. Sadly, this changed when I hurt my knees two years ago. I had to stay in bed for two weeks and even walking a short way was hard for me. I was so upset that I cried as I moved to the car for several days. When therapy(疗法) wasn't working well for me, I signed up for a hot yoga class for girls, Bikram Yoga to be exact. Starting a yoga practice was truly a blessing because it helped me gain strength in my knees but, most importantly yoga helped me attain a more peaceful state of mind, body and spirit. Since each class was heated to 105°F, every time I stepped foot in the yoga studio, I'd feel a surge of negative thoughts come upon me like a big ocean wave. Some of these thoughts were, in the beginning of my practice, so strong that I walked out of the class several times. However, as the months passed by, I noticed that when I didn't get swayed away (动摇) by my negative thoughts, I could stay in the hot room for longer. After 3－4 months of practicing hot yoga, my arms and legs were beginning to get definition. I also woke up with so much more energy than I had before starting my yoga practice and I gradually started shedding the pounds(减轻体重) from my body. Yoga literally made me feel as if I'd taken a shot of energy drink and just gave me that burst that helped my knees heal and made my overall health better. As I saw some of my classmates do poses that looked appealing to me, I started to think maybe I could do them too. Therefore, yoga helped show me that I have no real limitations physically unless I set those limitations myself through eating junk and thinking in negative and limiting terms. Also, practicing yoga in front of a mirror helped me connect with myself and practicing with a group of people really helped me to feel a greater sense of connection with humanity whereas before I didn't. Overall, this yoga practice has helped me to see I'm part of a bigger picture in life! 24．What made the author upset according to paragraph 1? A．Her not being sporty. B．Her inability to sleep. C．Her difficulty in walking. D．Her failure to find her car. 25．What difficulty did the author have while attending each yoga class at first? A．She didn't feel welcome in the yoga studio. B．She was greatly influenced by negative thoughts. C．She failed to control the temperature in the studio. D．She couldn't bear the pain the knee injury brought. 26．What can we learn about the author from paragraph 4? A．Her well­being benefited a lot from yoga. B．Her goal of doing yoga was to lose weight. C．She had a full recovery from her depression. D．Taking energy drinks contributed a lot to health. 27．What is the author's purpose in writing the passage? A．To share her experience in taking yoga classes. B．To show the vital skills needed to practice yoga. C．To call on the readers to sign up for yoga courses. D．To present the benefits of doing yoga with friends. 【答案】 24. C 25. B 26. A 27.

After primary school, the son named Hanghang was forced to drop out because he couldn’t catch up in classes and also had difficulty communicating with other children. As his parents have day jobs, Hanghang spent most of his time staring at the TV screen with his grandmother. He developed a fascination for miniature trains in animated programs. Seeing this, Li Jiawei, an electrician, had an idea: to build a real miniature train for his son. So whenever he was free, Li would closely observe the steam trains and asked professionals at railway stations about the machinery. Later, someone gave him a book called Steam Locomotives. He spent three months learning how to draw blueprints using software. Because the process was complex and the demand low, factories were unwilling to produce parts for the train. Li had no choice but to make the parts himself. At times he thought about giving up, but he chose to continue. Over eight years, Li spent more than 200,000 yuan testing the machine more than a thousand times. Finally in 2021 he built the first miniature train for his son. As he continued work to improve the train, Li noticed Hanghang also changed. “My son improved little by little. He was no longer afraid of strangers and becoming more cheerful and lively,” Li recalled. The 15-year-old often confidently introduces his beloved miniature trains to others. Thanks to his inspiring story, Hanghang got a job at a tourism site near his father’s hometown driving his miniature train.

As a second-grader in a primary school, I began my journey with table tennis on such a table. Later, I became a player and then a coach of a national team, watching generations of players contribute to the success of table tennis. Recently, at the age of 84, I received a national honorary title. I said, “Choosing to play table tennis is a decision I totally do not regret.” During times when we didn’t have much, I even made my own bat (球拍). I would buy old photo frames made of plywood (胶合板) from stores, and then turn them into bases of bats, I would then attach rubber (橡胶) to make a simple bat. I recalled, “The ‘clang’ sound of hitting the ball with such a bat was very satisfying. I formed a team called Red Flag at school. During holidays, we played friendly matches with ping-pong fans from nearby factories and schools. I often visited different places, where I could watch high-level players and learn from them. In a competition held in 1961, I won third place in the men’s table tennis singles event. I also won the first-ever men’s doubles and mixed doubles championships for our team. In 1975, I became the head coach of the women’s table tennis team in my country. Under my guidance, the team always won the women’s singles title in competitions. One of the outstanding athletes I discovered and trained became an extremely good table tennis player. Though she was short, she could see every ball coming her way as an opportunity.

To make things worse, they put me in “Section L”, which was called “Loserville”. It was sort of an open secret that it was the section for troublemakers and not-so-smart kids. When I found out, I wanted to scream. I had always been a good student and had amazing friends, and now everyone thought I was a loser! I did text my former classmates almost every night, especially my best friend, Ana. At first my friends wanted to hear all about it. But then some stopped texting back once I said something about how miserable (悲伤的) I was. One night when I was texting with Ana, I complained (抱怨) about another friend who had just done that. Ana’s texts came really fast for the next few minutes and they surprised me. She said that she was tired of hearing about how bad everything was in New Jersey, too. She said she did not want to hurt my feelings but that I needed to stop feeling so sorry for myself all the time. I had to try to make things better. The next day, I thought a lot about what Ana had said. She was right! I wish I could say that everything changed overnight after that, but it didn’t. I was still stuck in “Loserville”, and some people were still mean to me, even though I tried to just stay out of their way. But what did change was me—I stopped feeling so sorry for myself and did something about making friends. I signed up to make sets for the school play. I met a lot of new people there, and suddenly I had friends to say hi to in the halls! I still miss my former classmates sometimes, but life in New Jersey isn’t so hard anymore. Even though I couldn’t change my situation, I could change my attitude—and that made all the difference. 24. “Loserville” is a section for ______. A. failures B. newcomers C. class secrets D. good students 25. Why the writer’s friends stopped texting back? A. She was miserable. B. Her phone was broken. C. They did not want to hurt her feelings.

But there was one thing I enjoyed: running. It felt like I was soaring (翱翔) through the air. Sadly, this changed when I hurt my knees two years ago. I had to stay in bed for two weeks and even walking a short way was hard for me. I was so upset that I cried as I moved to the car for several days. When therapy (疗法) wasn’t working well for me, I signed up for a hot yoga class for girls, Bikram Yoga to be exact. Starting a yoga practice was truly a blessing because it helped me gain strength in my knees but, most importantly yoga helped me attain a more peaceful state of mind, body and spirit. Since each class was heated to 105°F, every time I stepped foot in the yoga studio, I’d feel a surge of negative thoughts come upon me like a big ocean wave. Some of these thoughts were, in the beginning of my practice, so strong that I walked out of the class several times. However, as the months passed by, I noticed that when I didn’t get swayed away (动摇) by my negative thoughts, I could stay in the hot room for longer. After 3 — 4 months of practicing hot yoga, my arms and legs were beginning to get definition. I also woke up with so much more energy than I had before starting my yoga practice and I gradually started shedding the pounds (减轻体重) from my body. Yoga literally made me feel as if I’d taken a shot of energy drink and just gave me that burst that helped my knees heal and made my overall health better. As I saw some of my classmates do poses that looked appealing to me, I started to think maybe I could do them too. Therefore, yoga helped show me that I have no real limitations physically unless I set those limitations myself through eating junk and thinking in negative and limiting terms. Also, practicing yoga in front of a mirror helped me connect with myself and practicing with a group of people really helped me to feel a greater sense of connection with humanity whereas before I didn’t. Overall, this yoga practice has helped me to see I’m part of a bigger picture in life! 24. What made the author upset according to paragraph 1? A. Her not being sporty. B. Her inability to sleep. C. Her difficulty in walking. D. Her failure to find her car. 25. What difficulty did the author have while attending each yoga class at first? A. She didn’t feel welcome in the yoga studio. B. She was greatly influenced by negative thoughts. C. She failed to control the temperature in the studio. D. She couldn’t bear the pain the knee injury brought. 26. What can we learn about the author from paragraph 4? A. Her well­being benefited a lot from yoga. B. Her goal of doing yoga was to lose weight. C. She had a full recovery from her depression. D. Taking energy drinks contributed a lot to health. 27. What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage? A. To share her experience in taking yoga classes. B. To show the vital skills needed to practice yoga. C. To call on the readers to sign up for yoga courses. D. To present the benefits of doing yoga with friends. 【答案】24. C 25. B 26. A 27.

I had to stay in bed for two weeks and even walking a short way was hard for me. I was so upset that I cried as I moved to the car for several days.(不幸的是，当我两年前弄伤膝盖时，这种情况发生了变化。我不得不在床上躺了两个星期，甚至走一小段路对我来说都很困难。我心烦意乱，在车里哭了好几天)”可知，行动困难让作者极度沮丧。故选C。 25. 细节理解题。根据第三段“Since each class was heated to 105°F, every time I stepped foot in the yoga studio, I’d feel a surge of negative thoughts come upon me like a big ocean wave. Some of these thoughts were, in the beginning of my practice, so strong that I walked out of the class several times.(由于每节课都被加热到105华氏度，每次我踏入瑜伽馆，我都会感到一股消极的想法像一个巨大的海浪一样涌向我。在我刚开始练习的时候，其中一些想法非常强烈，以至于我好几次走出教室)”可知，作者在上瑜伽课时深受消极思想的影响。故选B。 26. 推理判断题。根据第四段“After 3 — 4 months of practicing hot yoga, my arms and legs were beginning to get definition. I also woke up with so much more energy than I had before starting my yoga practice and I gradually started shedding the pounds (减轻体重) from my body.

Wilson, known as “ant man”, was born on June 10, 1929, in Birmingham, Alabama. His parents divorced when he was young, and he was moved frequently throughout his childhood. Wilson grew up exploring the forests and wildlife. One of these adventures left him partly blind, but they also set off his lifelong fascination (着迷) with ants and their social structures. Wilson earned his bachelor’s and master’s degrees from the University of Alabama. In 1955, he received his Ph. D. from Harvard and worked there until retirement. Wilson’s early study of ants led to his first major discovery in 1959: how ants communicate through the release of chemical signals. Later, in 1990, Wilson and German biologist Bert Holldobler published their Pulitzer-winning The Ants. It detailed the insects’ social structure that was both valued by scholars and accessible to general readers. Another of Wilson’s major works started in the early 1960s when he teamed up with Robert MacArthur. The pair published The Theory of Island Bio-geography, where they sought to explain why different places have different numbers of species. What many consider to be Wilson’s most important contributions to evolutionary biology came in 1975 when he published Sociobiology: The New Synthesis. The work explored the genetic roots of animal behavior and argued that genes shaped human behavior. Wilson faced accusations (谴责) for these ideas but his work finally largely proved true. In 1978, his ideas on the role biology plays in human culture peaked in On Human Nature, which won him a Pulitzer in 1979. Wilson published more than 400 scientific papers and 20 books. These accomplishments offered him a type of superstar status, but friends and colleagues say the polite Southerner remained down to earth. “Professor Wilson really listened and engaged with whomever he was interacting with,” said Corrie S. Moreau, who was one of Wilson’s final advisees. 24. What contributed to Wilson’s passion for ants? A. His accidental disability. B. His boyhood time spent in nature. C. The school education he received. D. The discovery he made about ants. 25. What is Wilson’s first Pulitzer-winning book about? A. The social structure of ants. B. The distribution of different species. C. The role of chemical signals in communication. D. The links between biology and human culture. 26. According to the last paragraph, which word best describes Wilson? A. Modest. B. Confident. C. Well-meaning. D. Independent. 27. What is the best title of this text? A. Discoveries in Evolutionary Biology. B. A Leading Figure in Popular Science. C. The Pioneering “Ant Man”. D. The Adventure of a Pulitzer Prize Winner. 【答案】24. B 25. A 26. A 27. C 【导语】本文是一篇人物传记。文章介绍了被誉为“蚂蚁人”的著名生物学家爱德华·O·威尔逊的生平、主要研究和学术贡献。 【解析】 24. 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Wilson grew up exploring the forests and wildlife... they also set off his lifelong fascination with ants and their social structures.”可知，威尔逊在童年时期探索森林和野生动物的经历，激发了他对蚂蚁及其社会结构的终生着迷。故选B项。 25. 细节理解题。根据第四段“Later, in 1990, Wilson... published their Pulitzer-winning The Ants. It detailed the insects’ social structure...”可知，威尔逊第一本获得普利策奖的书籍《蚂蚁》详细描述了蚂蚁的社会结构。故选A项。 26. 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“...but friends and colleagues say the polite Southerner remained down to earth. ‘Professor Wilson really listened and engaged with whomever he was interacting with...’”可知，尽管成就卓著，威尔逊依然保持谦逊、脚踏实地，并且真诚地倾听和对待每一个与他交流的人。因此，“Modest（谦逊的）”最能描述他的品质。故选A项。 27. 主旨大意题。通读全文，文章围绕爱德华·O·威尔逊展开，介绍了他因对蚂蚁的痴迷而被誉为“蚂蚁人”，以及他在蚂蚁研究、社会生物学和岛屿生物地理学等领域的开创性工作。因此，“The Pioneering ‘Ant Man’（开创性的‘蚂蚁人’）”最能概括全文内容。A项范围过大，B项未突出其核心研究对象（蚂蚁），D项未能全面体现其多方面的开创性贡献。故选C项。 Passage 10 人与社会——社会服务与人际沟通 （24-25高一上·湖南湘西州·期末） Thanksgiving Day was approaching. The first-grade teacher assigned her class an interesting task — to draw a picture of something they were grateful for. Most of the students came from economically challenged families, yet many would still celebrate the holiday with turkey and other traditional treats of the season. The teacher assumed these would be the main themes of her students’ artworks, and indeed they were. However, Douglas created a unique drawing. Douglas was an unusual boy. He was the teacher’s true child of misery, weak, and unhappy. While other kids were playing during break, Douglas tended to stand close to her side. One could only imagine the pain Douglas felt behind those gloomy eyes. His picture was indeed different. When asked to draw something he was thankful for, he drew a hand. Nothing more, just an empty hand. His abstract image sparked the curiosity of his classmates. Whose hand could it be? One child guessed it was a farmer’s hand since farmers raise turkeys. Another proposed it was a police officer’s, as the police safeguard and care for people. The discussion continued until the teacher nearly forgot about the young artist himself. After the children moved on to other tasks, she stopped at Douglas’ desk, bent down, and asked whose hand it was. The little boy looked away and whispered, “It’ s yours, teacher.” She recalled the times when she had held his hand and accompanied him around, just like with the other students. How frequently had she said, “Take my hand, Douglas, we’ll go outside.” Or, “Let me teach you how to hold your pencil.” Or, “Let’s do this together.” Douglas was extremely grateful for his teacher’s hand. Wiping away a tear, she went on with her work. In fact, people may not always express “thanks”, but they’ll remember the hand that reaches out. 24. What were the main themes of most students’ artworks on Thanksgiving Day? A. Their families. B. Turkey and other traditional treats. C. Their holiday trips. D. Teachers’ hands. 25. Which is closest in meaning to “gloomy” in paragraph 2? A. Sad. B. Bright. C. Indifferent. D. Cheerful. 26. Why did Douglas draw a hand? A. He wanted to thank a farmer. B. He thought a police officer once helped him. C. He was grateful for his teacher’s company. D. He had no idea what else he could draw. 27. What is the main idea of this passage? A. The teacher’s influence on students. B. The importance of Thanksgiving Day. C. The different ways to celebrate Thanksgiving. D. A story about a special Thanksgiving drawing. 【答案】24. B 25. A 26. C 27. D 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了一年级的老师给她的班级布置了一个有趣的作业——画一幅他们感激的东西，Douglas画的一只手引发了同学们的讨论，最后得知这是老师的手。文章传达了感恩与关爱的主题。 【解析】 24. 细节理解题。根据第一段的“The teacher assumed these would be the main themes of her students’ artworks, and indeed they were. (老师以为这些是学生们作品的主题，事实也确实如此)”可知，这里的“these”指代前文提到的“turkey and other traditional treats of the season”，所以大多数学生感恩节画作的主题是火鸡和其他传统美食。故选B。 25. 词句猜测题。根据第二段的“One could only imagine the pain Douglas felt behind those gloomy eyes. (人们只能想象Douglas那双gloomy的眼睛背后的痛苦)”可知，从“pain”一词可以推断出 Douglas的眼神是悲伤的，“gloomy”在这里意思是“忧郁的，悲伤的”和“Sad”意思相近。故选A。 26. 推理判断题。根据第三段的“The little boy looked away and whispered, ‘It’ s yours, teacher.’ (小男孩把目光移开，小声说：‘这是你的，老师。’)”以及后文对老师拉着 Douglas的手陪他做各种事的描述可知， Douglas画一只手是因为他感激老师的陪伴。故选C。 27. 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“In fact, people may not always express “thanks”, but they’ll remember the hand that reaches out. (事实上，人们可能并不总是说“谢谢”，但他们会记住伸出的手)”及全文内容可知，文章围绕 Douglas在感恩节画的一幅特别的画（画了一只手）展开，讲述了这幅画背后的故事，即他画老师的手是为了表达对老师陪伴的感激之情，D选项“一个关于感恩节特别的画的故事”可以概括本文的主旨。故选D。 Passage 11 人与社会——社会服务与人际沟通 （24-25高一上·湖南岳阳市·期末） Colin has completed the Dublin Marathon by pushing his friend in a wheelchair across the finish line. The 48-year-old actor ran the final 4 kilometres of the 42km race while pushing his friend Emma, who lives with a rare skin condition, to the end of the race. Back home in his native Ireland, Colin ran the marathon to raise money for DEBRA, an Irish charity supporting people who, like Emma, have the incurable genetic condition epidermolysis bullosa (EB) — also known as butterfly skin. Emma is Ireland’s oldest surviving person with the condition, and after reaching a milestone of turning 40 in June, she and Colin promise to complete the race together. According to the PA Media news agency, Emma was born with a severe form of the condition, as she was born with no skin on her left foot and right arm and can develop very painful blisters (水疱) from even the slightest touch. Colin told PA, “I have known Emma for many years. That run was nothing compared to the pain she is forced to endure every single day, even though she doesn’t show it.” “It was an honour to see her waiting for me with 4km to go, each of those representing a decade of her life, and to do the final stretch together. I’ll never forget it.” Also speaking to PA, Emma said, “This was a dream come true for me and I want to thank Colin, who has been the best friend I could wish for.” “He has always shown his empathy for people living with EB and is a true champion in my eyes. Running a marathon is never easy but once he committed to it there was no going back, he is a man of his word.” 24. Why did Colin take part in the marathon in his hometown? A. To push his friend to recover. B. To celebrate his friend’s 40th birthday. C. To contribute to fundraising for EB sufferers. D. To keep his promise to complete the Dublin Marathon. 25.

Wilson, known as “the ant man”, was born on June 10, 1929, in Birmingham, Alabama.( 爱德华·威尔逊，被称为“蚁人”，1929年6月10日出生在阿拉巴马州的伯明翰。)”可知，文章开篇介绍了威尔逊的出生、童年经历，之后讲述了他的教育背景以及在蚂蚁研究、生物学等领域的重要发现和著作，整体是在介绍威尔逊的生平及主要成就。由此可推知，文章的主要目的是绍威尔逊的生平和主要成就。故选D项。 Passage 12 （24-25高一上·湖南省长沙市雅礼中学·期末） High school ended and all I remembered was feeling stuck. Most of my peers (同龄人) had picked out their majors and some even planned their careers. But I was still wondering about that. I’ve always enjoyed writing but didn’t know how to make a career out of it. After researching my options, such as journalism, I thought Professional Communications could improve my writing skills and lead me to a career in business. With that, I sent in my application, was accepted and started preparing for my first term of university. When course intentions rolled around, I began looking at the list of minors. Marketing caught my attention. It would complement (补充) my communications degree while providing me with the necessary business courses that were outside of the program. Without hesitation, I scheduled marketing into my studies, with the goal of using that newfound knowledge to accompany the technical skills that my major would provide me with. My school year began in a pretty typical way: the orientation week (迎新周), joining clubs and meeting new people. As time went on, I found myself enjoying the marketing courses more than the communications courses, and it was then that I first began to consider making a change. Finally, I spoke with a friend who had switched to a different major, and his words of encouragement were the final push I needed to go through with the decision. A few days later, I sent in my application, and soon I received my acceptance letter. I’ve now been gifted with a wonderful start to the year, and I couldn’t be happier about making the change. I feel less pressured to “find myself” and can put 110% effort into my studies. A note to high school students: University brings with it a load of new beginnings and self-reflection. It’s perfectly fine to come into university thinking you want one thing and finding out along the way that it might not be the right path for you. 24. Why was the author at a loss after high school? A. She suffered from a lack of confidence. B. She fell behind her peers in performance. C. She was afraid to choose a wrong university. D. She struggled to decide a future direction. 25. Which aspect of marketing attracted the author? A. Its business courses. B. Its exciting career opportunities. C. Its stress on technical skills. D. Its courses related to writing. 26. What led the author to think about changing her major? A. The active encouragement from a friend. B. Reduced interest in communications. C. The growing passion for marketing courses. D. Access to numerous new opportunities. 27. What does the author advise high school students to do? A. Think twice about major selection. B. Be open to changing academic paths. C. Concentrate all their efforts on study. D Engage in self-reflection consistently. 【答案】24. D 25. A 26. C 27. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者在高中毕业后选专业和大学期间更换专业的心路历程。作者通过自身经历告诉读者，大学不仅是学术学习场所，更是个人探索和自我发现的舞台，鼓励学生在大学期间探索和发现适合自己的道路。 24. 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“High school ended and all I remembered was feeling stuck. Most of my peers (同龄人) had picked out their majors and some even planned their careers. But I was still wondering about that. (高中结束了，我只记得被困住了。我的大多数同龄人都选择了自己的专业，有些人甚至计划了自己的职业生涯。但我仍对此感到疑惑。)”可知，作者在高中毕业后感到迷茫主要是因为她在确定未来方向上遇到了难题。故选D项。 25. 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“It would complement (补充) my communications degree while providing me with the necessary business courses that were outside of the program. Without hesitation, I scheduled marketing into my studies, with the goal of using that newfound knowledge to accompany the technical skills that my major would provide me with. (它将补充我的沟通学位，同时为我提供课程之外的必要商业课程。我毫不犹豫地将市场营销纳入我的学习计划，目的是利用新学到的知识来配合我的专业将为我提供的技术技能。)”可知，作者认为市场营销能够作为她传播学学位的补充，同时也能提供课程之外的必要的商业知识，也就是说市场营销对作者的吸引力主要在于它的商业课程。故选A项。 26. 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“As time went on, I found myself enjoying the marketing courses more than the communications courses, and it was then that I first began to consider making a change. (随着时间的推移，我发现自己更喜欢营销课程而不是沟通课程，就在那时，我第一次开始考虑做出改变。)”可知，作者在大学期间发现自己更喜欢营销课程，而不是最初选择的传播学课程，这促使作者考虑转专业。故选C项。 27. 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“It’s perfectly fine to come into university thinking you want one thing and finding out along the way that it might not be the right path for you. (进入大学时，你认为自己想要一件事，但一路上发现这可能不是你的正确选择，这是完全可以的。)”以及结合作者转专业的经历及其对待转专业的态度“I couldn’t be happier about making the change (做出改变，我高兴极了)”可推断，作者建议高中生对在大学中改变初衷或者改变学术道路（转专业）持开放态度。故选B项。 4 / 32 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 专题02 阅读理解（记叙文） Passage 1 人与自我——生活与学习 （24-25高一上·湖南长沙市湖南师大附中·期末） As a young person, I never thought of myself as a sports enthusiast because I was quite clumsy. But there was one thing I enjoyed: running. It felt like I was soaring (翱翔) through the air. Sadly, this changed when I hurt my knees two years ago. I had to stay in bed for two weeks and even walking a short way was hard for me. I was so upset that I cried as I moved to the car for several days. When therapy(疗法) wasn't working well for me, I signed up for a hot yoga class for girls, Bikram Yoga to be exact. Starting a yoga practice was truly a blessing because it helped me gain strength in my knees but, most importantly yoga helped me attain a more peaceful state of mind, body and spirit. Since each class was heated to 105°F, every time I stepped foot in the yoga studio, I'd feel a surge of negative thoughts come upon me like a big ocean wave. Some of these thoughts were, in the beginning of my practice, so strong that I walked out of the class several times. However, as the months passed by, I noticed that when I didn't get swayed away (动摇) by my negative thoughts, I could stay in the hot room for longer. After 3－4 months of practicing hot yoga, my arms and legs were beginning to get definition. I also woke up with so much more energy than I had before starting my yoga practice and I gradually started shedding the pounds(减轻体重) from my body. Yoga literally made me feel as if I'd taken a shot of energy drink and just gave me that burst that helped my knees heal and made my overall health better. As I saw some of my classmates do poses that looked appealing to me, I started to think maybe I could do them too. Therefore, yoga helped show me that I have no real limitations physically unless I set those limitations myself through eating junk and thinking in negative and limiting terms. Also, practicing yoga in front of a mirror helped me connect with myself and practicing with a group of people really helped me to feel a greater sense of connection with humanity whereas before I didn't. Overall, this yoga practice has helped me to see I'm part of a bigger picture in life! 24．What made the author upset according to paragraph 1? A．Her not being sporty. B．Her inability to sleep. C．Her difficulty in walking. D．Her failure to find her car. 25．What difficulty did the author have while attending each yoga class at first? A．She didn't feel welcome in the yoga studio. B．She was greatly influenced by negative thoughts. C．She failed to control the temperature in the studio. D．She couldn't bear the pain the knee injury brought. 26．What can we learn about the author from paragraph 4? A．Her well­being benefited a lot from yoga. B．Her goal of doing yoga was to lose weight. C．She had a full recovery from her depression. D．Taking energy drinks contributed a lot to health. 27．What is the author's purpose in writing the passage? A．To share her experience in taking yoga classes. B．To show the vital skills needed to practice yoga. C．To call on the readers to sign up for yoga courses. D．To present the benefits of doing yoga with friends. Passage 2 人与社会——社会服务与人际沟通 （24-25高一上·湖南省怀化市·期末） A father in Southwest China’s Chongqing spent eight years building a real miniature steam train for his autistic (自闭症的) son. After primary school, the son named Hanghang was forced to drop out because he couldn’t catch up in classes and also had difficulty communicating with other children. As his parents have day jobs, Hanghang spent most of his time staring at the TV screen with his grandmother. He developed a fascination for miniature trains in animated programs. Seeing this, Li Jiawei, an electrician, had an idea: to build a real miniature train for his son. So whenever he was free, Li would closely observe the steam trains and asked professionals at railway stations about the machinery. Later, someone gave him a book called Steam Locomotives. He spent three months learning how to draw blueprints using software. Because the process was complex and the demand low, factories were unwilling to produce parts for the train. Li had no choice but to make the parts himself. At times he thought about giving up, but he chose to continue. Over eight years, Li spent more than 200,000 yuan testing the machine more than a thousand times. Finally in 2021 he built the first miniature train for his son. As he continued work to improve the train, Li noticed Hanghang also changed. “My son improved little by little. He was no longer afraid of strangers and becoming more cheerful and lively,” Li recalled. The 15-year-old often confidently introduces his beloved miniature trains to others.

Passage 3 人与自我——生活与学习 （24-25高一上·湖南省湘潭市·期末） In the late 1940s it was common to see young students practicing table tennis on a chalk-drawn table on the sidewalk at night. As a second-grader in a primary school, I began my journey with table tennis on such a table. Later, I became a player and then a coach of a national team, watching generations of players contribute to the success of table tennis. Recently, at the age of 84, I received a national honorary title. I said, “Choosing to play table tennis is a decision I totally do not regret.” During times when we didn’t have much, I even made my own bat (球拍). I would buy old photo frames made of plywood (胶合板) from stores, and then turn them into bases of bats, I would then attach rubber (橡胶) to make a simple bat. I recalled, “The ‘clang’ sound of hitting the ball with such a bat was very satisfying. I formed a team called Red Flag at school. During holidays, we played friendly matches with ping-pong fans from nearby factories and schools. I often visited different places, where I could watch high-level players and learn from them. In a competition held in 1961, I won third place in the men’s table tennis singles event. I also won the first-ever men’s doubles and mixed doubles championships for our team. In 1975, I became the head coach of the women’s table tennis team in my country. Under my guidance, the team always won the women’s singles title in competitions. One of the outstanding athletes I discovered and trained became an extremely good table tennis player. Though she was short, she could see every ball coming her way as an opportunity. This allowed her to launch (发起) more attacks than others. Moreover, she had a strong desire to win and trained very hard. 24. What inspired the author to begin playing table tennis? A.

Passage 5 人与自我——生活与学习 （24-25高一上·湖南省永州市·期末） On Dec.2, the annual mechanics (力学) competition was held at Beijing No.2 Middle School by the Chinese Society of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics, with about 50 teams gathering to “play” mechanics. Two teams from Beijing No.2 Middle School participated in the competition. The morning event was to make a paper plane fly farthest using paper boards, rubber bands, clips, etc. Students needed to make a device to launch a paper plane. The farther the plane flew, the higher the score was. Li Ziyao, 16, from the school’s Team 1, said factors like plane shape, launch angle, and pivot affected how far it could fly. “We first came up with a draft, did some calculations and decided to make a ‘gun’ to shoot the plane,” Liu Hengrui, 16, from the school’s Team 2, explained his group’s design. “However, we later found out that other teams were making their device very simple, which made us believe in the creativity of our design,” Wang Yinuo, also from Team 2, said. It was a fun experience putting theoretical physics knowledge into practice. In the afternoon, students were given a four leaf clover shape. They needed to recreate the same shape with paper boards, pens and gravers. “The difficulty fell in the calculation part,” Dong Yian, from Team 1, said. After they got the right numbers, they needed to make a spirograph (万花尺) out of the boards to draw the shape. “Our group decided to make some serrations (锯齿) around the edge, but we later found out that it was not helpful, so we started over without the serrations,” Liu from Team 1 said. Beijing No.2 Middle School eventually won the biggest prize. “I’m very happy with not only their impressive teamwork but also their creative application of classroom knowledge.” their instructor, Dai Wenjie, said, “This competition served as an excellent platform for developing creative thinking.” 24. What do we know about the paper plane from paragraph 2? A. It needs certain shapes. B. It requires unique materials. C. Its design affects how far it can fly. D.

Passage 6 人与自我——生活与学习 （24-25高一上·湖南省张家界市·期末） We had moved to New Jersey in November when I was in the seventh grade, and everyone already had had their own friends, and no one wanted to talk to a new girl. To make things worse, they put me in “Section L”, which was called “Loserville”. It was sort of an open secret that it was the section for troublemakers and not-so-smart kids. When I found out, I wanted to scream. I had always been a good student and had amazing friends, and now everyone thought I was a loser! I did text my former classmates almost every night, especially my best friend, Ana. At first my friends wanted to hear all about it. But then some stopped texting back once I said something about how miserable (悲伤的) I was. One night when I was texting with Ana, I complained (抱怨) about another friend who had just done that. Ana’s texts came really fast for the next few minutes and they surprised me. She said that she was tired of hearing about how bad everything was in New Jersey, too. She said she did not want to hurt my feelings but that I needed to stop feeling so sorry for myself all the time. I had to try to make things better. The next day, I thought a lot about what Ana had said. She was right! I wish I could say that everything changed overnight after that, but it didn’t. I was still stuck in “Loserville”, and some people were still mean to me, even though I tried to just stay out of their way. But what did change was me—I stopped feeling so sorry for myself and did something about making friends. I signed up to make sets for the school play. I met a lot of new people there, and suddenly I had friends to say hi to in the halls! I still miss my former classmates sometimes, but life in New Jersey isn’t so hard anymore.

Wilson, known as “ant man”, was born on June 10, 1929, in Birmingham, Alabama. His parents divorced when he was young, and he was moved frequently throughout his childhood. Wilson grew up exploring the forests and wildlife. One of these adventures left him partly blind, but they also set off his lifelong fascination (着迷) with ants and their social structures. Wilson earned his bachelor’s and master’s degrees from the University of Alabama. In 1955, he received his Ph. D. from Harvard and worked there until retirement. Wilson’s early study of ants led to his first major discovery in 1959: how ants communicate through the release of chemical signals. Later, in 1990, Wilson and German biologist Bert Holldobler published their Pulitzer-winning The Ants. It detailed the insects’ social structure that was both valued by scholars and accessible to general readers. Another of Wilson’s major works started in the early 1960s when he teamed up with Robert MacArthur. The pair published The Theory of Island Bio-geography, where they sought to explain why different places have different numbers of species. What many consider to be Wilson’s most important contributions to evolutionary biology came in 1975 when he published Sociobiology: The New Synthesis. The work explored the genetic roots of animal behavior and argued that genes shaped human behavior. Wilson faced accusations (谴责) for these ideas but his work finally largely proved true. In 1978, his ideas on the role biology plays in human culture peaked in On Human Nature, which won him a Pulitzer in 1979. Wilson published more than 400 scientific papers and 20 books. These accomplishments offered him a type of superstar status, but friends and colleagues say the polite Southerner remained down to earth. “Professor Wilson really listened and engaged with whomever he was interacting with,” said Corrie S. Moreau, who was one of Wilson’s final advisees. 24. What contributed to Wilson’s passion for ants? A. His accidental disability. B. His boyhood time spent in nature. C. The school education he received. D. The discovery he made about ants. 25. What is Wilson’s first Pulitzer-winning book about? A. The social structure of ants. B. The distribution of different species. C. The role of chemical signals in communication. D. The links between biology and human culture. 26. According to the last paragraph, which word best describes Wilson? A. Modest. B. Confident. C. Well-meaning. D. Independent. 27. What is the best title of this text? A. Discoveries in Evolutionary Biology. B. A Leading Figure in Popular Science. C. The Pioneering “Ant Man”. D. The Adventure of a Pulitzer Prize Winner. Passage 10 人与社会——社会服务与人际沟通 （24-25高一上·湖南湘西州·期末） Thanksgiving Day was approaching. The first-grade teacher assigned her class an interesting task — to draw a picture of something they were grateful for. Most of the students came from economically challenged families, yet many would still celebrate the holiday with turkey and other traditional treats of the season. The teacher assumed these would be the main themes of her students’ artworks, and indeed they were. However, Douglas created a unique drawing. Douglas was an unusual boy. He was the teacher’s true child of misery, weak, and unhappy. While other kids were playing during break, Douglas tended to stand close to her side. One could only imagine the pain Douglas felt behind those gloomy eyes. His picture was indeed different. When asked to draw something he was thankful for, he drew a hand. Nothing more, just an empty hand. His abstract image sparked the curiosity of his classmates. Whose hand could it be? One child guessed it was a farmer’s hand since farmers raise turkeys.

Passage 11 人与社会——社会服务与人际沟通 （24-25高一上·湖南岳阳市·期末） Colin has completed the Dublin Marathon by pushing his friend in a wheelchair across the finish line. The 48-year-old actor ran the final 4 kilometres of the 42km race while pushing his friend Emma, who lives with a rare skin condition, to the end of the race. Back home in his native Ireland, Colin ran the marathon to raise money for DEBRA, an Irish charity supporting people who, like Emma, have the incurable genetic condition epidermolysis bullosa (EB) — also known as butterfly skin. Emma is Ireland’s oldest surviving person with the condition, and after reaching a milestone of turning 40 in June, she and Colin promise to complete the race together. According to the PA Media news agency, Emma was born with a severe form of the condition, as she was born with no skin on her left foot and right arm and can develop very painful blisters (水疱) from even the slightest touch. Colin told PA, “I have known Emma for many years. That run was nothing compared to the pain she is forced to endure every single day, even though she doesn’t show it.” “It was an honour to see her waiting for me with 4km to go, each of those representing a decade of her life, and to do the final stretch together. I’ll never forget it.” Also speaking to PA, Emma said, “This was a dream come true for me and I want to thank Colin, who has been the best friend I could wish for.” “He has always shown his empathy for people living with EB and is a true champion in my eyes.

Passage 12 人与社会——历史、社会与文化 （24-25高一上·湖南省长沙市一中·期末） Edward O. Wilson, known as “the ant man”, was born on June 10, 1929, in Birmingham, Alabama. His parents divorced when he was young, and he moved frequently throughout his childhood. Wilson grew up exploring the forests and wildlife. One of these adventures left him partly blind, but they also set off his lifelong fascination(着迷) with ants and their social structures. Wilson earned his bachelor's and master's degrees from the University of Alabama. In 1955, he received his PhD from Harvard and worked there until retirement. Wilson's early study of ants led to his first major discovery in 1959: How ants communicate through the release of chemical signals. Later, in 1990, Wilson and German biologist Bent Holldobler published their Pulitzer-winning The Ants. It detailed the insects' social structure that was both valued by entomologists(昆虫学者) and accessible to general readers. Another of Wilson’s major works started in the early 1960s when he teamed up with Robert MacArthur. The pair published The Theory of Island Biogeography, where they sought to explain why different places have different numbers of species. What many consider to be Wilson's most important contributions to evolutionary biology came in 1975 when he published Sociobiology: The New Synthesis. The work explored the genetic and evolutionary roots of animal behaviour and argued that genes shaped human behaviour. Wilson faced accusations(谴责) for these ideas but finally his work largely proved true. In 1978, his ideas on the role biology plays in human culture ended in On Human Nature, which won him a Pulitzer in 1979. Wilson published more than 400 scientific papers and 20 books. He received more than 150 awards and honours from around the world. These accomplishments offered him a type of academic superstar status, but friends and colleagues said the polite Southerner remained down to earth. “One of the qualities I really admired about Professor Wilson was his ability to really listen to and engage with whomever he was interacting with, ” said Corrie S. Moreau, who was one of Wilson's final advisees. 24. What contributed to Wilson's passion for ants? A. His accidental disability. B. The discovery he made about ants. C. The school education he received. D. His boyhood spent in nature. 25. What is the book On Human Nature about? A. The social structure of ants. B. The distribution of different species. C. The links between biology and human culture. D. The role of chemical signals in communication. 26. According to Wilson's friends and colleagues, which word can best describe him? A. Warm-hearted B. Modest. C. Independent. D. Honest. 27. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To promote Wilson's most popular books. B. To explain the social behavior of ants in detail. C. To highlight the challenges Wilson faced in his personal life. D. To introduce the life and key achievements of Wilson. Passage 12 （24-25高一上·湖南省长沙市雅礼中学·期末） High school ended and all I remembered was feeling stuck. Most of my peers (同龄人) had picked out their majors and some even planned their careers. But I was still wondering about that. I’ve always enjoyed writing but didn’t know how to make a career out of it. After researching my options, such as journalism, I thought Professional Communications could improve my writing skills and lead me to a career in business. With that, I sent in my application, was accepted and started preparing for my first term of university. When course intentions rolled around, I began looking at the list of minors. Marketing caught my attention. It would complement (补充) my communications degree while providing me with the necessary business courses that were outside of the program. Without hesitation, I scheduled marketing into my studies, with the goal of using that newfound knowledge to accompany the technical skills that my major would provide me with. My school year began in a pretty typical way: the orientation week (迎新周), joining clubs and meeting new people. As time went on, I found myself enjoying the marketing courses more than the communications courses, and it was then that I first began to consider making a change. Finally, I spoke with a friend who had switched to a different major, and his words of encouragement were the final push I needed to go through with the decision. A few days later, I sent in my application, and soon I received my acceptance letter. I’ve now been gifted with a wonderful start to the year, and I couldn’t be happier about making the change. I feel less pressured to “find myself” and can put 110% effort into my studies. A note to high school students: University brings with it a load of new beginnings and self-reflection. It’s perfectly fine to come into university thinking you want one thing and finding out along the way that it might not be the right path for you. 24. Why was the author at a loss after high school?
