Passage 1
(24-25高三上·浙江ZDB联盟·高考模拟)
Amalia Garcia Lopez and Carlos Lafuente Picazo, two final-year university students from Spain, have just wrapped up a nine-day trip to Shanghai—a city they might one day consider calling home.
They were participants in the Young Explorer Program, a program designed to bring international members of Gen Z (Z世代) to China and introduce them to Shanghai. The program offers overseas youth the opportunity to experience Chinese culture firsthand and foster people-to-people exchange and mutual understanding.
Twenty-two young people from different cultural backgrounds took part in the immersive journey. Their route included guided city walks and visits to companies and neighborhoods, offering a deep dive into Shanghai’s society and culture. The group explored museums and heritage sites to learn about the city’s history, visited iconic tourist attractions to experience its modern vibe, engaged with traditional Chinese culture in local communities, and discovered thriving business hubs and revitalized (焕发活力的) historic neighborhoods.
All participants described the trip as both enjoyable and rewarding. During the trip, they were particularly impressed by Shanghai’s diversity — describing the city as “cosmopolitan (国际性的) ” and “dynamic”.
“I was coming to Shanghai with the impression that it’s like a city of the future, and so far, I feel like I’m seeing it for real,” said Picazo. “I think Shanghai is a city made for everyone. I’ve seen people from all over the world here, and you can find whatever you need. It has so much to offer to make whoever comes feel comfortable.”
“One thing that surprised me is that Shanghai has a lot of nature, and it is so green,” Lopez said. “It’s the perfect mix between society and nature, and it’s a city that’s growing every day. So, for me it was quite shocking because I think when cities expand, they tend to just get rid of the trees and the nature.”
1.What does the underlined phrase “wrapped up” in the first paragraph mean?
A.ended successfully. B.Packed carefully.
C.Covered completely. D.Celebrated joyfully.
2.What is the Young Explorer Program for?
A.Training Gen Z in global business. B.Exploring Shanghai’s natural scenery.
C.recruiting overseas talent for Shanghai. D.Promoting cultural exchange with China.
3.What impressed the participants most about Shanghai?
A.Its affordable living costs. B.Its harmonious diversity.
C.Its advanced transportation. D.Its traditional architecture.
4.How did Lopez’s perception of Shanghai change?
A.From skeptical to confident. B.From simple to complex.
C.From doubtful to appreciative. D.From abstract to concrete.
【答案】1.A 2.D 3.B 4.C
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。两位西班牙学生通过青年探险计划体验了上海的文化,被其多样性、未来感与自然融合所吸引,体验了中西方文化的交流与融合,收获颇丰。
1.词句猜测题。根据文章第一段“Amalia Garcia Lopez and Carlos Lafuente Picazo, two final-year university students from Spain, have just wrapped up a nine-day trip to Shanghai—a city they might one day consider calling home.( Amalia Garcia Lopez和Carlos Lafuente Picazo是来自西班牙的两名即将毕业的大学生,他们刚刚……为期九天的上海之行。这座城市或许有一天会成为他们心中的理想家园。)”可知,来自西班牙的两名即将毕业的大学生,未来某一天他们会把上海称之为家的地方,是因为他们刚刚完成了为期九天的上海之行。结合语境,“wrapped up”在这里应表示“圆满结束”的意思,与选项A“ended successfully(成功地结束)”意思相符。故选A。
2.细节理解题。根据文章第二段“They were participants in the Young Explorer Program, a program designed to bring international members of Gen Z (Z世代) to China and introduce them to Shanghai. The program offers overseas youth the opportunity to experience Chinese culture firsthand and foster people-to-people exchange and mutual understanding.(他们是“青年探索者计划”的参与者,该计划旨在将 Z 世代(即当今的年轻人一代)的国际成员带到中国,并让他们了解上海。该计划为海外青年提供了亲身体验中国文化的机遇,促进了人与人之间的交流与相互理解。)”可知,他们参加了“青年探险者计划”,该计划主要目的是促进与中国的文化交流,选项D“Promoting cultural exchange with China(促进与中国的文化交流)”符合题意。故选D。
3.细节理解题。根据文章第四段“All participants described the trip as both enjoyable and rewarding. During the trip, they were particularly impressed by Shanghai’s diversity—describing the city as “cosmopolitan (国际性的) ” and “dynamic”.(所有参与者都称这次旅行既令人愉快又收获颇丰。在旅行期间,他们对上海的多样性印象深刻——将这座城市描述为“国际化”的和“充满活力的”。)”可知,上海的多元融合最令人印象深刻,选项B“Its harmonious diversity(其和谐的多样性)”符合题意。故选B。
4.推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“One thing that surprised me is that Shanghai has a lot of nature, and it is so green(让我感到惊讶的一点是,上海拥有大量的自然景观,而且这里非常绿意盎然。)”以及“It’s the perfect mix between society and nature, and it’s a city that’s growing every day. So, for me it was quite shocking because I think when cities expand, they tend to just get rid of the trees and the nature.(这是社会与自然的完美结合,而且这是一座每天都在发展的城市。所以,这对我来说相当震惊,因为我认为当城市扩张时,它们往往会摆脱树木和自然。)”可知,Lopez原本对上海的印象可能并不深刻或存在误解,但在实际体验后,他对上海的自然景观和城市发展表示了赞赏和欣赏。因此,他的看法从怀疑或不确定转变为欣赏和赞赏,选项C“From doubtful to appreciative(从怀疑到欣赏)”符合题意。故选C。
Passage 2
(24-25高三上·浙江强基联盟·高考模拟)
In a city of wealth, comfort and fine food, there’s a quiet alley (小巷) in London’s Camden where passers-by often take several photos. Sharing space with elegant cafes and world-class bars, a tiny fruit and vegetable stand seems to have been transported from a country road far away. But what makes the stall even more remarkable in the heart of Camden is that payment is on the honor system—customers just throw coins into an old mailbox—and most of the items on offer are priced at £1 in a neighborhood where fresh food usually goes for much, much more.
The greengrocer with a heart of gold—a Chinese immigrant in her 50s who runs this stall alone—is rarely glimpsed by her grateful customers. Lena Wong rises before dawn to prepare to work in her small plot in Enfield, outside London. Depending on the season, she’ll reap onions, eggplant, green peppers, etc. And she works several overnight shifts every week at a nursing home to supplement her and her husband’s modest salaries.
All this started one day as she was selling produce in Enfield, and a young customer said that he barely earned enough to buy food. “I hate the idea of young people walking around hungry,” Lena Wong said. The seed was planted. “I want young people to feel that they’re not forgotten, that they are treasured,” she said. “That not everyone is out for himself. I can make money anytime. Right now, I want to give young people a helping hand.”
Sometimes, when she arrives late in the day, customers get a chance to thank her in person. In return, she’s fond of offering botanical sayings that she collected from a life that has had its share of both joy and pain. “Even in a field full of weeds,” Lena Wong likes to say, “you can grow something— if you put in the effort.”
1.Why is the stall in the quiet alley special?
A.It is located in an expensive cafe.
B.People often take good pictures there.
C.It operates on a trust and credit system.
D.The goods sold there come from distant places.
2.What can we learn about Lena Wong’s job?
A.It requires her to work long hours. B.It pays well to support her family.
C.It attracts widespread media attention. D.It focuses on organic produce.
3.Who inspired Lena Wong to help others?
A.Her grateful customers. B.A hungry youth.
C.Her modest husband. D.Some young people.
4.Which of the following best describes Lena Wong according to the text?
A.Kind-hearted. B.Well-educated.
C.Job-centered. D.Strong-willed.
【答案】1.C 2.A 3.B 4.A
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。讲述了在伦敦卡姆登区一条安静的小巷里,一位50多岁的中国移民Lena Wong经营着一个特别的果蔬摊。这个摊位采用诚信付款制,多数商品定价 1 英镑,而她这么做是为了帮助那些吃不饱的年轻人。
1.细节理解题。根据第一段中“But what makes the stall even more remarkable in the heart of Camden is that payment is on the honor system—customers just throw coins into an old mailbox—and most of the items on offer are priced at £1 in a neighborhood where fresh food usually goes for much, much more. (但在卡姆登区的核心地带,这个摊位之所以更加引人注目,是因为它采用诚信付款制——顾客只需把硬币扔进一个旧邮箱即可,而且在这个新鲜食材通常售价高得多的街区,这里出售的大部分商品标价仅为1英镑。)”可知,这个摊位特别之处在于它采用诚信付款制度,顾客把钱扔进旧邮箱即可。故选C项。
2.细节理解题。根据第二段中“Lena Wong rises before dawn to prepare to work in her small plot in Enfield, outside London. Depending on the season, she’ll reap onions, eggplant, green peppers, etc. And she works several overnight shifts every week at a nursing home to supplement her and her husband’s modest salaries. (Lena Wong天不亮就起床,准备去她位于伦敦郊外恩菲尔德的小块菜园干活。根据季节不同,她会收获洋葱、茄子、青椒等蔬菜。此外,她每周还要在一家养老院上几个夜班,以补贴她和丈夫并不丰厚的薪水)”可知,Lena Wong黎明前就起床去菜园干活,每周还要在养老院上几个夜班,这说明她工作时间很长。故选A项。
3.细节理解题。根据第三段中“All this started one day as she was selling produce in Enfield, and a young customer said that he barely earned enough to buy food. (这一切始于某一天,当时她正在恩菲尔德卖农产品,一位年轻顾客说他挣的钱几乎不够买食物)”可知,是一个吃不饱饭的年轻人激励了Lena Wong去帮助别人。故选B项。
4.推理判断题。根据第三段““I hate the idea of young people walking around hungry,” Lena Wong said. The seed was planted. “I want young people to feel that they’re not forgotten, that they are treasured,” she said. “That not everyone is out for himself. I can make money anytime. Right now, I want to give young people a helping hand.” (“我不忍心想到年轻人饿着肚子四处奔波,”Lena Wong说。于是,一个念头就此萌生。“我想让年轻人觉得他们没有被遗忘,他们是被珍惜的,”她说,“不是每个人都只为自己着想。我什么时候都能挣钱,现在,我想帮年轻人一把)”并结合全文内容可知,Lena Wong开设摊位,以低廉的价格向年轻人提供果蔬,还想用这种方式让年轻人感受到被关心,由此可判断她是心地善良的人。故选A项。
主题02 人与社会——社会服务与人际沟通
Passage 1
(24-25高三上·浙江宁波海曙·高考模拟)
Last spring, my neighbor Donna and I, both in our seventies, spent several hours in the glorious sunshine enjoying the new season. When it was time to sit down and relax, Donna pulled out her red metal chair from her garage (车库), and I sat on an overturned plastic bucket (桶). It was fun to catch up on the news that we had missed during the long winter indoors.
However, over the next few days, it turned out that we needed more than a chair and a bucket which were not quite comfortable. Donna decided we needed a bench. After dismissing unsuitable options from local stores, she found a perfect one online. The next day it arrived. Excitedly, she opened the box and started putting it together. We proudly high-fived each other as the pieces joined up and the bench started to look like one. After a few minutes’ assistance from a neighbour, it was complete. What’s more, it was the perfect fit for two 70-somethings to carry on late afternoon chats.
Soon, the bench attracted other neighbors. One day, someone called out from the sidewalk, “What do you do on that bench?” Quick-thinking Donna called back, “It’s our ‘Thinking Bench’! We think about important things happening in our lives.” Then, the name gradually evolved—after one neighbor sat alone deep in thought, he declared it a “Decision-Making Bench”; another time, when Donna was caught napping, she insisted she was “meditating (冥想) ”, adding yet another name.
Last fall, with the temperature falling, we came to the end of sitting outdoors. We were faced with one dilemma-what to do about it in the winter? Well, we sat down and thought and meditated and decided to put it in Donna’s garage for the winter.
When I glimpsed it a few times over the next months, the bench sat lonely, holding empty flower pots, and some flat, old boxes. But now after a long winter, spring flowers are ready to bloom in the warm sunshine, and we neighbours are ready to welcome “The Bench” back into our lives.
1.Donna decided to replace the chair and bucket to _________.
A.lighten the carrying load B.attract more neighbours
C.get better seating for chats D.adapt to warmer weather
2.How did the bench get its various names?
A.From items placed on it. B.From seasonal discussions.
C.From users’ activities on it. D.From Donna’s creative ideas.
3.Why are pots and boxes mentioned in the last paragraph?
A.To suggest the flowers would soon be planted. B.To show the bench was not serving its purpose.
C.To describe the bench’s practical use in winter. D.To explain why the bench needed winter storage.
4.What does “The Bench” represent by the story’s end?
A.A symbol of community bonds. B.A solution to the aging problem.
C.A reminder of the past summer. D.A memory of a valued online order.
【答案】1.C 2.C 3.B 4.A
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,讲述了作者和邻居唐娜在户外放置长椅,长椅吸引邻居们一起聊天、思考、做决定,最终成为邻里情谊象征的故事。
1.细节理解题。根据第二段中的“However, over the next few days, it turned out that we needed more than a chair and a bucket which were not quite comfortable. Donna decided we needed a bench.(然而,在接下来的几天里,事实证明,我们需要的不仅仅是一把椅子和一只不太舒服的水桶。唐娜决定我们需要一条长凳。)”以及“What’s more, it was the perfect fit for two 70-somethings to carry on late afternoon chats.(更重要的是,它非常适合两位70多岁的老人进行傍晚的聊天。)”可知,唐娜决定把椅子和桶换成长凳是为了让聊天时有更好的座位。故选C。
2.细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Then, the name gradually evolved — after one neighbor sat alone deep in thought, he declared it a ‘Decision-Making Bench’; another time, when Donna was caught napping, she insisted she was ‘meditating’, adding yet another name.(然后,这个名字逐渐演变——一位邻居独自坐着沉思后,他宣称这是一个‘决策长椅’;还有一次,当唐娜被发现打盹时,她坚持说自己在‘冥想’,于是又加了一个名字。)”可知,长凳的名字来源于使用者在长凳上的活动。故选C。
3.推理判断题。根据最后一段“When I glimpsed it a few times over the next months, the bench sat lonely, holding empty flower pots, and some flat, old boxes. But now after a long winter, spring flowers are ready to bloom in the warm sunshine, and we neighbours are ready to welcome “The Bench” back into our lives.(在接下来的几个月里,当我瞥见它几次时,长凳孤零零地立着,上面放着空花盆和一些扁平的旧盒子。但是现在,经过一个漫长的冬天,春天的花朵已经准备好在温暖的阳光下绽放,我们邻居们也准备好欢迎‘长凳’回到我们的生活中。)”可知,长凳上放着空花盆和旧盒子,说明长凳在冬天没有发挥它的作用,即让邻居们一起聊天、思考、做决定。故选B。
4.推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Soon, the bench attracted other neighbors.(很快,长凳吸引了其他邻居。)”以及最后一段中的“But now after a long winter, spring flowers are ready to bloom in the warm sunshine, and we neighbours are ready to welcome ‘The Bench’ back into our lives.(但是现在,经过一个漫长的冬天,春天的花朵已经准备好在温暖的阳光下绽放,我们邻居们也准备好欢迎‘长凳’回到我们的生活中。)”可知,长凳吸引了邻居们一起聊天、思考、做决定,它最终象征着邻里间的情谊联结。故选A。
主题03 人与自我——生活与学习
Passage 1
(24-25高三上·浙江Z20名校·高考模拟)
Amina’s lungs burned as she reached the summit of the hill, her feet pounding against the unfamiliar pavement of her new hometown. As she ran, memories flashed through her mind.
Six months earlier, Amina had fled her war-torn homeland. When she finally reached this small town in a country whose language she barely spoke, she felt more out of place than ever. That first week, she had hardly left her tiny apartment. But on the eighth day, driven by a restlessness she couldn’t shake, Amina laced up her worn running shoes and stepped outside.
At first, she ran to escape — from the memories, from the pitying looks of her new neighbors. But with each day and each mile, something began to shift. The rhythmic pounding of her feet became a way to process the hurt she’d endured and the challenges that lay ahead. Weeks later, Amina had explored every street of her new town. She started recognizing faces on her runs: the elderly man waving from his porch, the smiling mother pushing a stroller. One day, to her surprise, she found herself waving back.
Now, as Amina pushed up the last hill of her route, she realized how far she’d come. Running had become her lifeline, a way to bridge the gap between her past and her present. When she approached the entrance of her apartment building, she noticed her English teacher, Mrs. Thompson, standing with several other runners from the community. They held a banner reading, “Walnut Grove Running Club.”
Mrs. Thompson stepped forward, smiling warmly. “Amina, we’ve seen you running every day. We wondered if you’d like to join our club.”
Amina felt a lump form in her throat. She nodded, a smile spreading across her face. “Yes,” she said, her accent still thick but her voice strong. As the group cheered and welcomed her, Amina realized she had been running through more than just physical borders. With each step, she had been crossing the boundaries of fear, isolation, and hurt.
1.What can be learned about Amina?
A.She was a distance runner at home.
B.She spoke the local language fluently.
C.She left her motherland because of war.
D.She missed her motherland very much.
2.What initially motivated Amina to start running?
A.To explore her new hometown. B.To escape pain and loneliness.
C.To prepare for a running club. D.To reach the summit of the hill.
3.What does “waving back” in paragraph 3 suggest about Amina?
A.She had learned the local customs.
B.She had mastered the local language.
C.She wanted to impress Mrs. Thompson.
D.She began developing social connections.
4.Which can be the best title for the text?
A.Running Through Borders B.Running Toward a Peaceful Life
C.Overcoming Pain Through Sports D.Breaking Barriers in a New Country
【答案】1.C 2.B 3.D 4.A
【导语】本文为一篇记叙文。文章通过叙述Amina逃离战乱祖国后,在新家乡通过跑步逐渐适应新环境、克服心理障碍并最终加入跑步俱乐部的故事,展现了她的成长与转变。
1.细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Six months earlier, Amina had fled her war-torn homeland.(六个月前,Amina逃离了战火肆虐的祖国。)”可知,Amina因祖国战火肆虐而被迫逃离祖国。故选C。
2.细节理解题。根据文章第三段“At first, she ran to escape—from the memories, from the pitying looks of her new neighbors.(起初,她奔跑是为了逃避——逃避记忆,逃避新邻居怜悯的目光。)”可知,Amina最初跑步的动机是逃避记忆和邻居的怜悯目光,即逃避痛苦和孤独。故选B。
3.推理判断题。根据第三段“But with each day and each mile, something began to shift. The rhythmic pounding of her feet became a way to process the hurt she’d endured and the challenges that lay ahead. Weeks later, Amina had explored every street of her new town. She started recognizing faces on her runs: the elderly man waving from his porch, the smiling mother pushing a stroller. One day, to her surprise, she found herself waving back.(但随着日复一日的奔跑,某些东西开始改变。双脚规律性的撞击声,成为她梳理过往伤痛与未来挑战的方式。几周后,Amina跑遍了小镇的每条街道。她开始在跑步时认出一些面孔:在门廊挥手的老人、推着婴儿车微笑的母亲。某天,她惊讶地发现自己竟也挥手回应。)”可知,Amina从被动接受邻居的目光到主动挥手回应,这一转变表明她开始与社区中的人建立互动。此前她因陌生感几乎足不出户,而挥手回应是她打开社交局面的标志,说明她开始发展社会联系。故选D。
4.主旨大意题。根据文章内容可知,全文围绕Amina通过跑步逐渐适应新环境、跨越心理障碍的经历展开。在本文中是“跑步”不仅是物理上的运动,更是隐喻性的“跨越边界”—— 从逃避过去到拥抱现在,从孤独隔绝到融入社区。选项A“Running Through Borders(穿越边界)”精准概括了双重含义:既指Amina跑遍小镇的地理探索,也指她穿越恐惧、孤独等心理边界的成长过程。故选A。
Passage 2
(24-25高三上·浙江江浙皖·高考模拟)
Ginny MacColl was 63 when she accepted her daughter’s challenge to complete a pull-up. It took nine months to nail it. Now, a decade on, MacColl can pump out 17 of them in a row. MacColl has since competed three times in the reality TV show. She’s the oldest person to complete an obstacle, according to Guinness World Records.
“When I grew up, women weren’t encouraged to lift weights,” MacColl says. Seeing her daughter, Jessie Graff, a stuntwoman (替身演员) in action, MacColl saw “such strength and grace — and she had muscles! I realized that the things people had always said about muscles were so wrong. It was a disservice to women.”
MacColl was enrolled in dance lessons by her parents, initially to draw her out of her shell. But in 1974, she landed a part in a Broadway show. She branched out into TV commercials during the 70s and 80s, acting as “a housewife and mum, smiling with my product beside me... Folgers coffee, Jordan jeans...” She got married and had two children, even shooting one commercial three days after giving birth.
But “all good things come to an end”, and MacColl got divorced after 13 years of marriage. However, the biggest obstacle she has overcome in life, MacColl says, is failure itself. She felt like a failure at school, when she and her classmates were lined up in order of their IQ scores, and also when her first marriage ended.
“It took me a while to get over that,” she says. “There’s a saying I like to tell myself: ‘Change the way you look at things, and the things you look at change.’ So I try to look at failure as a motivator. I will get this. Social media was my way of getting out of the depression. I started posting some of the things I could do.”
She has more than 130,000 followers on Instagram, and has landed parts in films. She has just filmed her next appearance on American Ninja Warrior. MacColl believes she can continue to get stronger into her 80s and 90s. “Muscle is the organ of longevity,” she says.
1.What made MacColl take up pull-ups?
A.She was inspired by her daughter. B.She was eager to become an actress.
C.She wanted to prove her worth as a woman. D.She desired to break a Guinness world record.
2.What does paragraph 3 mainly focus on?
A.The busy life of a housewife. B.The popularity of TV commercials.
C.The golden time in MacColl’s career. D.MacColl’s daily routines as a celebrity.
3.How did MacColl get over her failure?
A.By leaving it as it was. B.By making a mental shift.
C.By turning to social media. D.By drawing lessons from it.
4.What message does MacColl’s story convey?
A.All’s well that ends well. B.Rome is not built in a day.
C.It’s never too late to get stronger. D.It takes courage to change one’s life.
【答案】1.A 2.C 3.B 4.C

2.主旨大意题。根据第三段“MacColl was enrolled in dance lessons by her parents, initially to draw her out of her shell. But in 1974, she landed a part in a Broadway show.

主题04 人与自然——环境与生态
Passage 1
(24-25高三上·浙江省新阵地教育联盟·高考模拟)
My parents have a big cat at home named Comet. He has big ears, a large head, huge feet, and a gentle personality — but we have no way of knowing for sure. He came from the local animal shelter. My brother and I didn’t really want him, since he was a kitten and we wanted to adopt an adult cat because we thought the kittens would be more likely to find another home, but my little sister insisted.
We brought Comet home that day. He soon fell ill and grew alarmingly weak — his ribs stuck out, his eyes swelled, and his fur dulled. He became so fragile that I feared touching him, though he clearly needed care.
Some years later, I went home one afternoon after having had an emotional breakdown. My whole life was upside down. I felt hollow, dead, an empty shell of a person. I had no idea what pieces were even worth picking up again.
I found Comet curled up in a corner that afternoon. He’d been asleep, but he lifted his head and looked at me when I came in. I reached a hand toward him. He nuzzled it, immediately burst into a deep, loud purr, and gave me a perfectly content cat grin. I moved my hand down to scratch his back and sides, and he stretched luxuriously, giving me looks of absolute adoration.
At that point, it hit me: this cat loved me. The cat I didn’t want, the cat I couldn’t bear to take care of when his life depended on it, loved me. And he would always love me. No matter what was going on in my life, Comet would still look up from a nap when I entered the room, would still love to be touched by me.
I believe love is steadfast. I believe that real love, whether it comes from your families, or a shelter cat, is offered determinedly and unconditionally. Love is what enables us to pick up the pieces of our broken lives and go on.
1.Why was the writer unwilling to adopt Comet initially?
A.He thought adult cats were more gentle. B.His sister resisted adopting Comet.
C.Kittens were thought easier to be adopted. D.Comet was a weak and sick kitten.
2.How did Comet help the writer go through his emotional breakdown?
A.By lying quietly beside him. B.By making him feel deeply loved.
C.By distracting him with grins. D.By protecting him from loneliness.
3.What does the underlined word “steadfast” in paragraph 6 mean?
A.Faithful. B.Romantic. C.Temporary. D.Unforgettable.
4.Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text?
A.Love wins all B.Love on four feet
C.An encounter with a kitten D.A rescue of a shelter kitten
【答案】1.C 2.B 3.A 4.B
【导语】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章讲述了作者原本不想收养的一只病弱小猫彗星,用始终如一的陪伴与信赖,让精神崩溃的自己重获温暖,体悟到坚定无条件的爱能治愈破碎,给人继续前行的力量。
1.细节理解题。根据第一段“My brother and I didn’t really want him, since he was a kitten and we wanted to adopt an adult cat because we thought the kittens would be more likely to find another home, but my little sister insisted.(我哥哥和我并不是真的想要它,因为它是一只小猫,我们想收养一只成年猫,因为我们认为小猫更有可能找到另一个家,但我妹妹坚持要收养它)”可知,最初作者不想收留彗星,因为小猫更有可能被收养。故选C项。
2.细节理解题。根据第四段“He’d been asleep, but he lifted his head and looked at me when I came in. I reached a hand toward him. He nuzzled it, immediately burst into a deep, loud purr, and gave me a perfectly content cat grin.

Passage 2
(24-25高三上·浙江省ZFJ联盟·高考模拟)
Have you ever paid close attention to a cloud and noticed its ever-changing forms? If not, you could be missing out on something quite wondrous (奇妙的).
Cloud spotting doesn’t require much. Sometimes, it can be an invitation to be marveled (惊叹) by something so common that we’ve become blind to it. Or you can go deeper, trying to make sense of the sky by learning the different cloud types.
A pop science blogger surnamed Zheng, 25, known as the “Cloud Collector” on the lifestyle platform (平台) Xiaohongshu, initially started her account to share cloud photos in 2022.
Zheng, who enjoys finding delight in recording the beauty of daily life, considered it a way to spread lovely moments to more people. “Clouds have always served as a source of comfort for me,” said Zheng based in Fujian.
For Zheng, one of her most unforgettable cloud-spotting experiences occurred during a flight. It was the first time that she saw a special natural phenomenon called a “glory (宝光)”, produced by water drops in the air. It appeared as a hazy (模糊的) light point in the middle of a circular rainbow halo (圆形彩虹光环). “It was such a surprise,” Zheng recalled.
As a growing number of online users began to show interest and raise questions, Zheng realized that she could offer more science content about cloud spotting. So she started to learn more by referring to specialized (专业的) books and consulting (咨询) individuals with expertise (专业知识) in meteorology (气象学).
Zheng has now shared nearly 2000 pieces of popular science content, including cloud identification (识别), formation, comparisons of different cloud types and weather-related knowledge. Her account now has over 210,000 followers on Xiaohongshu, and there are five group chats on the platform where thousands of users share their daily cloud-watching experiences.
Looking ahead, Zheng has plans to hold several gallery exhibitions. “The first round of exhibitions will be in Xiamen in Fujian and Chengdu in Sichuan,” Zheng said, adding that she’s gathering more cloud photos and the unique stories behind them. By doing this, she hopes to inspire more people to appreciate the beauty of the “gentle white giants (巨人)” in the sky.

主题01 人与社会——社会服务与人际沟通
Passage 1
(24-25高三上·浙江省强基联盟·高考模拟)
My husband, children and I were in Hawaii. Here, we were introduced to the ancient Hawaiian concept of mālama (to care for) which encourages visitors to give back to the environment and local communities through activities like habitat restoration, beach cleanups or food provision. But mālama goes beyond eco-tourism — it’s about leaving a place better than you found it.
And after seeking out these experiences during a three-week stay, we found mālama not only improves Hawaii, but it also made our time there much more meaningful.
Mālama volunteer experiences are found across the islands. For example, on Maui, you can help restore native forests and volunteer at a nursery; while on O’ahu, visitors can clear invasive algae from Maunalua Bay. In some cases, travelers booking with partnering hotels and participating in designated activities will qualify for a discounted — or even free — night at dozens of hotels and resorts.
“Mālama today is more vital than ever,” our guide Rogers said. “Too many tourists walk carelessly on our land, ignoring restrictions and damaging sensitive ecosystems... don’t just think Hawaii is beautiful; help keep it that way. It’s a shared responsibility.” As Rogers explained, mālama isn’t just about seeing or appreciating a landscape; it invites visitors to connect and contribute to it, with the idea that caring for a place fosters a stronger relationship with it.
After eight days, we ventured to Molokai, Hawaii’s least developed island. No resorts or chain stores spoiled its wild beauty — just dramatic cliffs meeting rough seas. Deep in the eastern wilderness, we met Greg Solatario, whose family has taken care of this land for generations. His simple off-grid life perfectly embodied mālama. Greg welcomed us warmly before leading us through jungle-covered ruins of ancestral villages. As we approached, his son Devak blew a conch shell — a traditional request to enter. “The land remembers,” Greg explained, showing us medicinal plants and ancient fishing spots. His parting words stayed with me: “Mālama shouldn’t be just Hawaiian — the whole world needs this way of caring.”
1.How does the author present the topic in the first paragraph?
A.By quoting an expert. B.By giving examples.
C.By explaining a concept. D.By providing statistics.
2.What can Mālama volunteers experience in Hawaii?
A.Developing Maunalua Bay. B.Reviving local forests.
C.Asking for hotel discounts. D.Organizing big activities.
3.What do we know about Greg Solatario’s family?
A.They built new resorts in the wild. B.They have long protected the land.
C.They offered guided tours to locals. D.They fixed up the old village ruins.
4.Which of the following best describes the author’s trip in Hawaii?
A.The wise improve what they enjoy.
B.Where there is a will, there is a way.
C.God helps those who help themselves.
D.When in Rome, do as the Romans do.

Passage 2
(24-25高三上·浙江省杭州学军·高考模拟)
In 1999, a teacher at Uniontown High School in Kansas, Norm Conard, encouraged four students — Elizabeth Cambers, Megan Stewart, Janice Underwood, and Sabrina Coons — to enter a national History Day contest. He told them to base their project on the Holocaust (大屠杀), reflecting the classroom motto: “He who changes one person, changes the world entire.”
Conard showed them a 1994 news clipping about “other Schindlers” — people who had saved Jews during World War II. One name stood out: Irena Sendler, a Polish woman said to have rescued 2,500 children from the Warsaw ghetto (犹太人居住区). “We thought this had to be a mistake,” said Conard. “I mean, nobody had ever heard of her.” They decided to look into the history, and soon found out the number was correct — and the story, extraordinary.
Sendler was a social worker in Warsaw. Starting in 1942, she faked a pass to enter the ghetto, where 400,000 Jews were imprisoned. Each day, she would ask parents to do the unthinkable: give their children to her so she could take them out — often hidden in sacks or toolboxes — passing through Nazi guards by claiming the children were either dead or sick. She provided the children with false papers; arranging for Polish families to adopt them or placing them in orphanages (孤儿院). Knowing they were losing their identities, Sendler made coded lists of each child’ s real and new name, buried in jars beneath an apple tree, hoping one day to reunite families.
In 1943, Sendler was arrested. She was cruelly tortured but refused to reveal anything. After three months in prison, she was sentenced to death.
The girls turned her story into a play, Life in a Jar, which moved local audiences and won first prize in Kansas’s National History Day contest. Later, they discovered Sendler was alive. In 2001, they traveled to Poland and met her. “We told her she’ s our hero,” said Elizabeth, but she said, “Heroes do extraordinary things — I just did what I had to do.”
The play has spread across the world and still continues today, keeping Sendler’s legacy alive, forever.
1.Norm Conard and his students initially thought of Sendler’s story as _________.
A.a confirmed fact B.a misleading belief
C.an inaccurate report D.a heartbreaking history
2.How did Irena Sendler manage to rescue the children?
A.By coding names and burying them in jars.
B.By hiding children and persuading the guards.
C.By falsifying identities and reuniting families.
D.By convincing parents and transferring children.
3.Which of the following best describes Irena Sendler?
A.Curious and modest. B.Ambitious and sensible.
C.Courageous and selfless. D.Determined and disciplined.
4.What can be a suitable title for the text?
A.Life in a Jar: A Play that Revived History B.Sendler’s Legacy: A Story Brought to light
C.The Warsaw Ghetto: A Secret Rescue Mission D.The Forgotten Hero: Sendler’s Personal Adventure
【答案】1.C 2.D 3.C 4.B

2.细节理解题。根据第三段“Each day, she would ask parents to do the unthinkable: give their children to her so she could take them out — often hidden in sacks or toolboxes — passing through Nazi guards by claiming the children were either dead or sick. (每日,她都会让父母做不可思议的事:将孩子托付给她带离隔离区——孩童们常蜷缩在麻袋或工具箱里——穿过纳粹守卫时,声称这些孩子已死或生病。)”可知,Sendler的核心方法是说服父母移交孩子,并通过隐藏和转移完成救援。故选D项。
3.推理判断题。根据第三段Sendler冒死进入隔离区以及第四段“In 1943, Sendler was arrested. She was cruelly tortured but refused to reveal anything. (1943年,Sendler被捕。她遭受残酷折磨却始终守口如瓶。)”以及第五段“In 2001, they traveled to Poland and met her. “We to·ld her she’ s our hero,” said Elizabeth, “but she said, “Heroes do extraordinary things — I just did what I had to do.” (“我们告诉她,她是我们的英雄,”Elizabeth说,但她回答说,“英雄会做非凡的事——我只是做了我该做的事。”)”可知,Sendler面对纳粹危险仍坚持救儿童,被捕后遭受残酷折磨但拒绝透露任何信息,并谦虚否认英雄称号,说明她是一个勇敢且无私的人。故选C项。
4.主旨大意题。分析全文以及最后一段“The play has spread across the world and still continues today, keeping Sendler’s legacy alive, forever. (这部剧在世界各地传播,并且至今仍在上演,让Sendler的遗产永远延续下去。)”可知,文章主要讲述了学生研究并发现了Irena Sendler在二战期间秘密营救犹太儿童的事迹,将其改编为戏剧,使这一遗忘的英雄事迹得以传播开来。B项“Sendler的遗产:一个被揭露的故事”既涵盖人物事迹,又突出学生让其事迹为人所知的过程,最贴合主旨。故选B项。
Passage 3
(24-25高三上·浙江湖州、丽水、衢州三地市·高考模拟)
Born on her family’s farm in Ray, North Dakota, Mary Sherman Morgan had been helping her father with farm work before she could attend the small-town schoolhouse. Being a few years behind didn’t hold her back and she graduated from high school with honors. Aware of her intelligence, she ran away from Ray to attend Minot State University as a chemistry major, where her skill was evident.
The outbreak of World War II led to a national shortage of chemists and scientists. In spite of the fact that she was still a student and a woman, she was offered a job as a chemical analyst due to her talents, producing explosives (爆炸物) for the wartime effort. She put her degree on hold and moved to Ohio, taking on the dangerous job of analyzing unstable chemicals to produce weapons.
After the war ended there was a fall in demand for explosives, so she made a move to the field of aeronautics, moving to California to work for NAA (North American Aviation). The only woman out of 900 engineers, she was soon promoted to a role which involved calculating the performance of rocket propellants (推进剂) and designing special fuels to work with different engines. However, never having returned to complete her degree, she was not afforded the rank or higher pay of an engineer, even though she had all the skills and knowledge of one.
Her experience with propellants meant that when NAA was tasked to find a fuel capable of lifting the redesigned Redstone missiles into space, Morgan was appointed technical lead on the project. National pride was on the line, so Morgan set about investigating fuels. After countless trials, she finally designed her own mixture, which was named Hydyne.
Hydyne tested well with the Redstone missiles and subsequently other aircraft (飞行器) , such as Jupiter-C rockets, proving to be a quick solution to getting to space without a total rocket redesign. The fuel made the first successful US satellite launch possible, even if Morgan silently slipped away from her success, retiring to focus on her family and leaving her chemistry career behind.
1.What do we know about Mary?
A.She attended school while helping with farm work.
B.She was offered a job as a chemistry analyst after graduation.
C.She changed her working focus because her country’s demand changed.
D.She launched the first US satellite before retiring from her career.
2.What was Mary doing after the war ended?
A.Analyzing chemicals. B.Producing explosives.
C.Mixing and saving fuels. D.Designing and building aircraft.
3.What made Mary the technical lead on the project of NAA?
A.Her special knowledge in fuels. B.Her rank as an engineer.
C.Her discovery of Hydyne. D.Her sense of national pride
4.Which of the following words can describe Mary Sherman Morgan?

Passage 4
(24-25高三上·浙江强基联盟·高考模拟)
As I wandered out of my New York apartment, behind me someone called out, “Where can I find peaches?” I turned around to see a woman standing outside the greengrocer’s. The absurdity of the moment struck me — why would someone want peaches in the middle of winter? It is just as absurd as sitting by the pool on a blistering summer day and reaching for a warm, woolly jumper.
I was already aware of the issues facing the food system: industrial farming ruining soils, unclear supply chains leaving citizens powerless in making the right buying decisions, and the dominance of ultra-processed foods with zero nutritional value in supermarkets. But this encounter made me see how normalized it was to expect food out of season.
After graduating, I worked at Wall Street in New York, managing portfolios (投资组合). Despite the breathtaking view and fast-paced stock market, I was troubled by the greed underlying my work. Cooking was my escape. It had always been a passion, whether in Buenos Aires, at university, or in New York.
As I neared my 30s, I knew I needed a change and food became my north star. Through my work visiting markets and farmers around Europe, I saw first-hand why seasonality is critical in our ability to regain control of, and fix, our food system. All around me I could see how quickly flavour was disappearing from our plates. I wanted to reintroduce phenomenal flavour into people’s lives, and to re-educate and reconnect consumers with nature. In 2004, I took over Natoora, a French-founded company with a small base in London, determined to reintroduce great flavor to people’s lives and reconnect them with nature.
My two-decade-long devotion to flavor, initially a pursuit of personal pleasure, has given my work a deep sense of purpose. Flavor can emotionally connect us to food and bring joy back into our relationship with it. Changing careers opened a new world for me, filled with purpose and love for my work, and I hope it inspires others to fight for a better food-centric world.
1.Why does the author mention the encounter with a woman?
A.To illustrate an absurd shopping choice. B.To highlight a problem in the food system.
C.To compare between peaches and jumpers. D.To show people’s separation from farming.
2.What does the author think of cooking?
A.Healing. B.Troublesome. C.Demanding. D.Instructive.
3.What can we infer from paragraph 4?
A.People will improve flavors on their tables soon.
B.Consumers are not willing to get close to nature.
C.Our food system is in need of our great attention.
D.All the markets in Europe sell food out of season.
4.Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text?
A.Add a Unique flavor to Your career B.The Great Power of Seasonal Eating
C.Approaches to Fixing the Food System D.From Wall Street to the World of Flavor
【答案】1.B 2.A 3.C 4.D

主题02 人与自我——生活与学习
Passage 1
(24-25高三上·浙江北斗星盟·高考模拟)
Jackie Hsiao, a sophomore at the University of Rochester Fencing Club, competed in the 2025 Fencing Junior Olympics in Charlotte, NC. This event marked the peak of six-year fencing journey and her first national-level encounter with elite fencers.
Hsiao’s fencing adventure began at a summer camp before her eighth grade year. Though she initially hated it due to long, sweaty hours in fencing gear and competing against more experienced opponents, her time at camp kindled an interest in the sport within her.
In high school, Hsiao found a welcoming community of fencers and coaches. She developed and refined her skills with the foil, the smallest and lightest fencing weapon. However, during her senior year, a devastating ACL tear (前交叉韧带撕裂) put her career in jeopardy. “I doubted I’d return to fencing,” she said. After surgery and nine months of grueling physical therapy two to three times a week, Hsiao began fencing again. Her defensive fencing style remained mostly the same, though she had to think more about her back leg position.
On the mental side, Hsiao emphasized positive thinking and mental preparation. She believed that negative thoughts could impact performance and learned to stop over-thinking during competition. Hsiao also revealed the life lessons fencing has taught her, saying, “Persistence is key and losing is one of the best ways to learn.”
Her family has been instrumental in supporting her through her fencing journey. When she qualified for the 2025 Fencing Junior Olympics, she immediately shared the news with her mother. At the Junior Olympics, she even met her favorite fencers, Lee Kiefer and Maia Chamberlain.

【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,主要讲述了杰基・萧(Jackie Hsiao)在击剑运动中的成长历程,从最初在夏令营对击剑的厌恶,到高中时在击剑社区提升技能,遭遇前交叉韧带撕裂的挫折后又重新回归,在 2025 年青少年奥运会上取得成绩,还介绍了她从击剑中学到的人生经验以及未来目标。
1.细节理解题。根据第二段“Though she initially hated it due to long, sweaty hours in fencing gear and competing against more experienced opponents(尽管她最初讨厌击剑,因为穿着击剑装备长时间汗流浃背,而且要与更有经验的对手竞争)” 可知,最初让杰基・萧在夏令营不喜欢击剑的原因是身体上的不适(长时间穿着装备出汗)以及强大的竞争对手。故选D。
2.词义猜测题。根据第三段“After surgery and nine months of grueling physical therapy two to three times a week(在手术之后,经历了长达九个月,每周两到三次的 grueling 物理治疗)”,结合前文提到她前交叉韧带撕裂,可知九个月时间且每周多次的治疗过程应该是漫长且疲惫的。故选B。
3.推理判断题。根据第四段“Hsiao also revealed the life lessons fencing has taught her, saying, “Persistence is key and losing is one of the best ways to learn.”(萧还透露了击剑教给她的人生经验,她说:“坚持是关键,失败是最好的学习方式之一”)”可知,杰基・萧学到的重要的人生教训是滴水穿石。故选C。

Passage 1
(24-25高三上·浙江ZDB联盟·高考模拟)
Amalia Garcia Lopez and Carlos Lafuente Picazo, two final-year university students from Spain, have just wrapped up a nine-day trip to Shanghai—a city they might one day consider calling home.
They were participants in the Young Explorer Program, a program designed to bring international members of Gen Z (Z世代) to China and introduce them to Shanghai. The program offers overseas youth the opportunity to experience Chinese culture firsthand and foster people-to-people exchange and mutual understanding.
Twenty-two young people from different cultural backgrounds took part in the immersive journey. Their route included guided city walks and visits to companies and neighborhoods, offering a deep dive into Shanghai’s society and culture. The group explored museums and heritage sites to learn about the city’s history, visited iconic tourist attractions to experience its modern vibe, engaged with traditional Chinese culture in local communities, and discovered thriving business hubs and revitalized (焕发活力的) historic neighborhoods.
All participants described the trip as both enjoyable and rewarding. During the trip, they were particularly impressed by Shanghai’s diversity — describing the city as “cosmopolitan (国际性的) ” and “dynamic”.
“I was coming to Shanghai with the impression that it’s like a city of the future, and so far, I feel like I’m seeing it for real,” said Picazo. “I think Shanghai is a city made for everyone. I’ve seen people from all over the world here, and you can find whatever you need. It has so much to offer to make whoever comes feel comfortable.”
“One thing that surprised me is that Shanghai has a lot of nature, and it is so green,” Lopez said. “It’s the perfect mix between society and nature, and it’s a city that’s growing every day. So, for me it was quite shocking because I think when cities expand, they tend to just get rid of the trees and the nature.”
1.What does the underlined phrase “wrapped up” in the first paragraph mean?
A.ended successfully. B.Packed carefully.
C.Covered completely. D.Celebrated joyfully.
2.What is the Young Explorer Program for?
A.Training Gen Z in global business. B.Exploring Shanghai’s natural scenery.
C.recruiting overseas talent for Shanghai. D.Promoting cultural exchange with China.
3.What impressed the participants most about Shanghai?
A.Its affordable living costs. B.Its harmonious diversity.
C.Its advanced transportation. D.Its traditional architecture.
4.How did Lopez’s perception of Shanghai change?
A.From skeptical to confident. B.From simple to complex.
C.From doubtful to appreciative. D.From abstract to concrete.

(24-25高三上·浙江强基联盟·高考模拟)
In a city of wealth, comfort and fine food, there’s a quiet alley (小巷) in London’s Camden where passers-by often take several photos. Sharing space with elegant cafes and world-class bars, a tiny fruit and vegetable stand seems to have been transported from a country road far away. But what makes the stall even more remarkable in the heart of Camden is that payment is on the honor system—customers just throw coins into an old mailbox—and most of the items on offer are priced at £1 in a neighborhood where fresh food usually goes for much, much more.
The greengrocer with a heart of gold—a Chinese immigrant in her 50s who runs this stall alone—is rarely glimpsed by her grateful customers. Lena Wong rises before dawn to prepare to work in her small plot in Enfield, outside London. Depending on the season, she’ll reap onions, eggplant, green peppers, etc. And she works several overnight shifts every week at a nursing home to supplement her and her husband’s modest salaries.
All this started one day as she was selling produce in Enfield, and a young customer said that he barely earned enough to buy food. “I hate the idea of young people walking around hungry,” Lena Wong said. The seed was planted. “I want young people to feel that they’re not forgotten, that they are treasured,” she said. “That not everyone is out for himself. I can make money anytime. Right now, I want to give young people a helping hand.”
Sometimes, when she arrives late in the day, customers get a chance to thank her in person. In return, she’s fond of offering botanical sayings that she collected from a life that has had its share of both joy and pain. “Even in a field full of weeds,” Lena Wong likes to say, “you can grow something— if you put in the effort.”
1.Why is the stall in the quiet alley special?
A.It is located in an expensive cafe.
B.People often take good pictures there.
C.It operates on a trust and credit system.
D.The goods sold there come from distant places.
2.What can we learn about Lena Wong’s job?
A.It requires her to work long hours. B.It pays well to support her family.
C.It attracts widespread media attention. D.It focuses on organic produce.
3.Who inspired Lena Wong to help others?
A.Her grateful customers. B.A hungry youth.
C.Her modest husband. D.Some young people.
4.Which of the following best describes Lena Wong according to the text?
A.Kind-hearted. B.Well-educated.
C.Job-centered. D.Strong-willed.

Passage 1
(24-25高三上·浙江宁波海曙·高考模拟)
Last spring, my neighbor Donna and I, both in our seventies, spent several hours in the glorious sunshine enjoying the new season. When it was time to sit down and relax, Donna pulled out her red metal chair from her garage (车库), and I sat on an overturned plastic bucket (桶). It was fun to catch up on the news that we had missed during the long winter indoors.
However, over the next few days, it turned out that we needed more than a chair and a bucket which were not quite comfortable. Donna decided we needed a bench. After dismissing unsuitable options from local stores, she found a perfect one online. The next day it arrived. Excitedly, she opened the box and started putting it together. We proudly high-fived each other as the pieces joined up and the bench started to look like one. After a few minutes’ assistance from a neighbour, it was complete. What’s more, it was the perfect fit for two 70-somethings to carry on late afternoon chats.
Soon, the bench attracted other neighbors. One day, someone called out from the sidewalk, “What do you do on that bench?” Quick-thinking Donna called back, “It’s our ‘Thinking Bench’! We think about important things happening in our lives.” Then, the name gradually evolved—after one neighbor sat alone deep in thought, he declared it a “Decision-Making Bench”; another time, when Donna was caught napping, she insisted she was “meditating (冥想) ”, adding yet another name.
Last fall, with the temperature falling, we came to the end of sitting outdoors. We were faced with one dilemma-what to do about it in the winter? Well, we sat down and thought and meditated and decided to put it in Donna’s garage for the winter.
When I glimpsed it a few times over the next months, the bench sat lonely, holding empty flower pots, and some flat, old boxes. But now after a long winter, spring flowers are ready to bloom in the warm sunshine, and we neighbours are ready to welcome “The Bench” back into our lives.
1.Donna decided to replace the chair and bucket to _________.
A.lighten the carrying load B.attract more neighbours
C.get better seating for chats D.adapt to warmer weather
2.How did the bench get its various names?
A.From items placed on it. B.From seasonal discussions.
C.From users’ activities on it. D.From Donna’s creative ideas.
3.Why are pots and boxes mentioned in the last paragraph?
A.To suggest the flowers would soon be planted. B.To show the bench was not serving its purpose.
C.To describe the bench’s practical use in winter. D.To explain why the bench needed winter storage.
4.What does “The Bench” represent by the story’s end?
A.A symbol of community bonds. B.A solution to the aging problem.
C.A reminder of the past summer. D.A memory of a valued online order.

Passage 1
(24-25高三上·浙江Z20名校·高考模拟)
Amina’s lungs burned as she reached the summit of the hill, her feet pounding against the unfamiliar pavement of her new hometown. As she ran, memories flashed through her mind.
Six months earlier, Amina had fled her war-torn homeland. When she finally reached this small town in a country whose language she barely spoke, she felt more out of place than ever. That first week, she had hardly left her tiny apartment. But on the eighth day, driven by a restlessness she couldn’t shake, Amina laced up her worn running shoes and stepped outside.
At first, she ran to escape — from the memories, from the pitying looks of her new neighbors. But with each day and each mile, something began to shift. The rhythmic pounding of her feet became a way to process the hurt she’d endured and the challenges that lay ahead. Weeks later, Amina had explored every street of her new town. She started recognizing faces on her runs: the elderly man waving from his porch, the smiling mother pushing a stroller. One day, to her surprise, she found herself waving back.
Now, as Amina pushed up the last hill of her route, she realized how far she’d come. Running had become her lifeline, a way to bridge the gap between her past and her present. When she approached the entrance of her apartment building, she noticed her English teacher, Mrs. Thompson, standing with several other runners from the community. They held a banner reading, “Walnut Grove Running Club.”
Mrs. Thompson stepped forward, smiling warmly. “Amina, we’ve seen you running every day. We wondered if you’d like to join our club.”
Amina felt a lump form in her throat. She nodded, a smile spreading across her face. “Yes,” she said, her accent still thick but her voice strong. As the group cheered and welcomed her, Amina realized she had been running through more than just physical borders. With each step, she had been crossing the boundaries of fear, isolation, and hurt.

Passage 2
(24-25高三上·浙江江浙皖·高考模拟)
Ginny MacColl was 63 when she accepted her daughter’s challenge to complete a pull-up. It took nine months to nail it. Now, a decade on, MacColl can pump out 17 of them in a row. MacColl has since competed three times in the reality TV show. She’s the oldest person to complete an obstacle, according to Guinness World Records.
“When I grew up, women weren’t encouraged to lift weights,” MacColl says. Seeing her daughter, Jessie Graff, a stuntwoman (替身演员) in action, MacColl saw “such strength and grace — and she had muscles! I realized that the things people had always said about muscles were so wrong. It was a disservice to women.”
MacColl was enrolled in dance lessons by her parents, initially to draw her out of her shell. But in 1974, she landed a part in a Broadway show. She branched out into TV commercials during the 70s and 80s, acting as “a housewife and mum, smiling with my product beside me... Folgers coffee, Jordan jeans...” She got married and had two children, even shooting one commercial three days after giving birth.
But “all good things come to an end”, and MacColl got divorced after 13 years of marriage. However, the biggest obstacle she has overcome in life, MacColl says, is failure itself. She felt like a failure at school, when she and her classmates were lined up in order of their IQ scores, and also when her first marriage ended.
“It took me a while to get over that,” she says. “There’s a saying I like to tell myself: ‘Change the way you look at things, and the things you look at change.’ So I try to look at failure as a motivator. I will get this. Social media was my way of getting out of the depression. I started posting some of the things I could do.”
She has more than 130,000 followers on Instagram, and has landed parts in films. She has just filmed her next appearance on American Ninja Warrior. MacColl believes she can continue to get stronger into her 80s and 90s. “Muscle is the organ of longevity,” she says.
1.What made MacColl take up pull-ups?
A.She was inspired by her daughter. B.She was eager to become an actress.
C.She wanted to prove her worth as a woman. D.She desired to break a Guinness world record.
2.What does paragraph 3 mainly focus on?
A.The busy life of a housewife. B.The popularity of TV commercials.
C.The golden time in MacColl’s career. D.MacColl’s daily routines as a celebrity.
3.How did MacColl get over her failure?
A.By leaving it as it was. B.By making a mental shift.
C.By turning to social media. D.By drawing lessons from it.
4.What message does MacColl’s story convey?
A.All’s well that ends well. B.Rome is not built in a day.
C.It’s never too late to get stronger. D.It takes courage to change one’s life.

Passage 1
(24-25高三上·浙江省新阵地教育联盟·高考模拟)
My parents have a big cat at home named Comet. He has big ears, a large head, huge feet, and a gentle personality — but we have no way of knowing for sure. He came from the local animal shelter. My brother and I didn’t really want him, since he was a kitten and we wanted to adopt an adult cat because we thought the kittens would be more likely to find another home, but my little sister insisted.
We brought Comet home that day. He soon fell ill and grew alarmingly weak — his ribs stuck out, his eyes swelled, and his fur dulled. He became so fragile that I feared touching him, though he clearly needed care.
Some years later, I went home one afternoon after having had an emotional breakdown. My whole life was upside down. I felt hollow, dead, an empty shell of a person. I had no idea what pieces were even worth picking up again.
I found Comet curled up in a corner that afternoon. He’d been asleep, but he lifted his head and looked at me when I came in. I reached a hand toward him. He nuzzled it, immediately burst into a deep, loud purr, and gave me a perfectly content cat grin. I moved my hand down to scratch his back and sides, and he stretched luxuriously, giving me looks of absolute adoration.
At that point, it hit me: this cat loved me. The cat I didn’t want, the cat I couldn’t bear to take care of when his life depended on it, loved me. And he would always love me. No matter what was going on in my life, Comet would still look up from a nap when I entered the room, would still love to be touched by me.
I believe love is steadfast. I believe that real love, whether it comes from your families, or a shelter cat, is offered determinedly and unconditionally. Love is what enables us to pick up the pieces of our broken lives and go on.
1.Why was the writer unwilling to adopt Comet initially?
A.He thought adult cats were more gentle. B.His sister resisted adopting Comet.
C.Kittens were thought easier to be adopted. D.Comet was a weak and sick kitten.
2.How did Comet help the writer go through his emotional breakdown?
A.By lying quietly beside him. B.By making him feel deeply loved.
C.By distracting him with grins. D.By protecting him from loneliness.
3.What does the underlined word “steadfast” in paragraph 6 mean?
A.Faithful. B.Romantic. C.Temporary. D.Unforgettable.
4.Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text?
A.Love wins all B.Love on four feet
C.An encounter with a kitten D.A rescue of a shelter kitten

Have you ever paid close attention to a cloud and noticed its ever-changing forms? If not, you could be missing out on something quite wondrous (奇妙的).
Cloud spotting doesn’t require much. Sometimes, it can be an invitation to be marveled (惊叹) by something so common that we’ve become blind to it. Or you can go deeper, trying to make sense of the sky by learning the different cloud types.
A pop science blogger surnamed Zheng, 25, known as the “Cloud Collector” on the lifestyle platform (平台) Xiaohongshu, initially started her account to share cloud photos in 2022.
Zheng, who enjoys finding delight in recording the beauty of daily life, considered it a way to spread lovely moments to more people. “Clouds have always served as a source of comfort for me,” said Zheng based in Fujian.
For Zheng, one of her most unforgettable cloud-spotting experiences occurred during a flight. It was the first time that she saw a special natural phenomenon called a “glory (宝光)”, produced by water drops in the air. It appeared as a hazy (模糊的) light point in the middle of a circular rainbow halo (圆形彩虹光环). “It was such a surprise,” Zheng recalled.
As a growing number of online users began to show interest and raise questions, Zheng realized that she could offer more science content about cloud spotting. So she started to learn more by referring to specialized (专业的) books and consulting (咨询) individuals with expertise (专业知识) in meteorology (气象学).
Zheng has now shared nearly 2000 pieces of popular science content, including cloud identification (识别), formation, comparisons of different cloud types and weather-related knowledge. Her account now has over 210,000 followers on Xiaohongshu, and there are five group chats on the platform where thousands of users share their daily cloud-watching experiences.
Looking ahead, Zheng has plans to hold several gallery exhibitions. “The first round of exhibitions will be in Xiamen in Fujian and Chengdu in Sichuan,” Zheng said, adding that she’s gathering more cloud photos and the unique stories behind them. By doing this, she hopes to inspire more people to appreciate the beauty of the “gentle white giants (巨人)” in the sky.
1.Why was Mrs. Zheng called “cloud collector”?
A.She likes clouds.
B.She was very bored and wanted to find happiness.
C.She created a Xiaohongshu account to share cloud photos.
D.She discovered how clouds changed.
2.How did the experiences occurred about “glory”?
A.It was generated by water droplets in the air. B.It was born from a single of light.
C.It was created by people. D.It was just a fantasy of people.
3.What kind of person is Mrs. Zheng?
A.Smart B.Warm-hearted C.Life-loving D.Thoughtful and far-sighted
4.What can we learn from the text?

Passage 1
(24-25高三上·浙江省强基联盟·高考模拟)
My husband, children and I were in Hawaii. Here, we were introduced to the ancient Hawaiian concept of mālama (to care for) which encourages visitors to give back to the environment and local communities through activities like habitat restoration, beach cleanups or food provision. But mālama goes beyond eco-tourism — it’s about leaving a place better than you found it.
And after seeking out these experiences during a three-week stay, we found mālama not only improves Hawaii, but it also made our time there much more meaningful.
Mālama volunteer experiences are found across the islands. For example, on Maui, you can help restore native forests and volunteer at a nursery; while on O’ahu, visitors can clear invasive algae from Maunalua Bay. In some cases, travelers booking with partnering hotels and participating in designated activities will qualify for a discounted — or even free — night at dozens of hotels and resorts.
“Mālama today is more vital than ever,” our guide Rogers said. “Too many tourists walk carelessly on our land, ignoring restrictions and damaging sensitive ecosystems... don’t just think Hawaii is beautiful; help keep it that way. It’s a shared responsibility.” As Rogers explained, mālama isn’t just about seeing or appreciating a landscape; it invites visitors to connect and contribute to it, with the idea that caring for a place fosters a stronger relationship with it.
After eight days, we ventured to Molokai, Hawaii’s least developed island. No resorts or chain stores spoiled its wild beauty — just dramatic cliffs meeting rough seas. Deep in the eastern wilderness, we met Greg Solatario, whose family has taken care of this land for generations. His simple off-grid life perfectly embodied mālama. Greg welcomed us warmly before leading us through jungle-covered ruins of ancestral villages. As we approached, his son Devak blew a conch shell — a traditional request to enter. “The land remembers,” Greg explained, showing us medicinal plants and ancient fishing spots. His parting words stayed with me: “Mālama shouldn’t be just Hawaiian — the whole world needs this way of caring.”
1.How does the author present the topic in the first paragraph?
A.By quoting an expert. B.By giving examples.
C.By explaining a concept. D.By providing statistics.
2.What can Mālama volunteers experience in Hawaii?
A.Developing Maunalua Bay. B.Reviving local forests.
C.Asking for hotel discounts. D.Organizing big activities.
3.What do we know about Greg Solatario’s family?
A.They built new resorts in the wild. B.They have long protected the land.
C.They offered guided tours to locals. D.They fixed up the old village ruins.
4.Which of the following best describes the author’s trip in Hawaii?
A.The wise improve what they enjoy.
B.Where there is a will, there is a way.
C.God helps those who help themselves.
D.When in Rome, do as the Romans do.
Passage 2
(24-25高三上·浙江省杭州学军·高考模拟)
In 1999, a teacher at Uniontown High School in Kansas, Norm Conard, encouraged four students — Elizabeth Cambers, Megan Stewart, Janice Underwood, and Sabrina Coons — to enter a national History Day contest. He told them to base their project on the Holocaust (大屠杀), reflecting the classroom motto: “He who changes one person, changes the world entire.”
Conard showed them a 1994 news clipping about “other Schindlers” — people who had saved Jews during World War II. One name stood out: Irena Sendler, a Polish woman said to have rescued 2,500 children from the Warsaw ghetto (犹太人居住区). “We thought this had to be a mistake,” said Conard. “I mean, nobody had ever heard of her.” They decided to look into the history, and soon found out the number was correct — and the story, extraordinary.
Sendler was a social worker in Warsaw. Starting in 1942, she faked a pass to enter the ghetto, where 400,000 Jews were imprisoned. Each day, she would ask parents to do the unthinkable: give their children to her so she could take them out — often hidden in sacks or toolboxes — passing through Nazi guards by claiming the children were either dead or sick. She provided the children with false papers; arranging for Polish families to adopt them or placing them in orphanages (孤儿院). Knowing they were losing their identities, Sendler made coded lists of each child’ s real and new name, buried in jars beneath an apple tree, hoping one day to reunite families.
In 1943, Sendler was arrested. She was cruelly tortured but refused to reveal anything. After three months in prison, she was sentenced to death.
The girls turned her story into a play, Life in a Jar, which moved local audiences and won first prize in Kansas’s National History Day contest. Later, they discovered Sendler was alive. In 2001, they traveled to Poland and met her. “We told her she’ s our hero,” said Elizabeth, but she said, “Heroes do extraordinary things — I just did what I had to do.”
The play has spread across the world and still continues today, keeping Sendler’s legacy alive, forever.
1.Norm Conard and his students initially thought of Sendler’s story as _________.
A.a confirmed fact B.a misleading belief
C.an inaccurate report D.a heartbreaking history
2.How did Irena Sendler manage to rescue the children?
A.By coding names and burying them in jars.
B.By hiding children and persuading the guards.
C.By falsifying identities and reuniting families.
D.By convincing parents and transferring children.
3.Which of the following best describes Irena Sendler?
A.Curious and modest. B.Ambitious and sensible.
C.Courageous and selfless. D.Determined and disciplined.
4.What can be a suitable title for the text?
A.Life in a Jar: A Play that Revived History B.Sendler’s Legacy: A Story Brought to light

(24-25高三上·浙江湖州、丽水、衢州三地市·高考模拟)
Born on her family’s farm in Ray, North Dakota, Mary Sherman Morgan had been helping her father with farm work before she could attend the small-town schoolhouse. Being a few years behind didn’t hold her back and she graduated from high school with honors. Aware of her intelligence, she ran away from Ray to attend Minot State University as a chemistry major, where her skill was evident.
The outbreak of World War II led to a national shortage of chemists and scientists. In spite of the fact that she was still a student and a woman, she was offered a job as a chemical analyst due to her talents, producing explosives (爆炸物) for the wartime effort. She put her degree on hold and moved to Ohio, taking on the dangerous job of analyzing unstable chemicals to produce weapons.
After the war ended there was a fall in demand for explosives, so she made a move to the field of aeronautics, moving to California to work for NAA (North American Aviation). The only woman out of 900 engineers, she was soon promoted to a role which involved calculating the performance of rocket propellants (推进剂) and designing special fuels to work with different engines. However, never having returned to complete her degree, she was not afforded the rank or higher pay of an engineer, even though she had all the skills and knowledge of one.
Her experience with propellants meant that when NAA was tasked to find a fuel capable of lifting the redesigned Redstone missiles into space, Morgan was appointed technical lead on the project. National pride was on the line, so Morgan set about investigating fuels. After countless trials, she finally designed her own mixture, which was named Hydyne.
Hydyne tested well with the Redstone missiles and subsequently other aircraft (飞行器) , such as Jupiter-C rockets, proving to be a quick solution to getting to space without a total rocket redesign. The fuel made the first successful US satellite launch possible, even if Morgan silently slipped away from her success, retiring to focus on her family and leaving her chemistry career behind.
1.What do we know about Mary?
A.She attended school while helping with farm work.
B.She was offered a job as a chemistry analyst after graduation.
C.She changed her working focus because her country’s demand changed.
D.She launched the first US satellite before retiring from her career.
2.What was Mary doing after the war ended?
A.Analyzing chemicals. B.Producing explosives.
C.Mixing and saving fuels. D.Designing and building aircraft.
3.What made Mary the technical lead on the project of NAA?
A.Her special knowledge in fuels. B.Her rank as an engineer.
C.Her discovery of Hydyne. D.Her sense of national pride
4.Which of the following words can describe Mary Sherman Morgan?
A.Caring and determined. B.Intelligent and skillful.
C.Courageous but sensitive. D.Accomplished but proud.

As I wandered out of my New York apartment, behind me someone called out, “Where can I find peaches?” I turned around to see a woman standing outside the greengrocer’s. The absurdity of the moment struck me — why would someone want peaches in the middle of winter? It is just as absurd as sitting by the pool on a blistering summer day and reaching for a warm, woolly jumper.
I was already aware of the issues facing the food system: industrial farming ruining soils, unclear supply chains leaving citizens powerless in making the right buying decisions, and the dominance of ultra-processed foods with zero nutritional value in supermarkets. But this encounter made me see how normalized it was to expect food out of season.
After graduating, I worked at Wall Street in New York, managing portfolios (投资组合). Despite the breathtaking view and fast-paced stock market, I was troubled by the greed underlying my work. Cooking was my escape. It had always been a passion, whether in Buenos Aires, at university, or in New York.
As I neared my 30s, I knew I needed a change and food became my north star. Through my work visiting markets and farmers around Europe, I saw first-hand why seasonality is critical in our ability to regain control of, and fix, our food system. All around me I could see how quickly flavour was disappearing from our plates. I wanted to reintroduce phenomenal flavour into people’s lives, and to re-educate and reconnect consumers with nature. In 2004, I took over Natoora, a French-founded company with a small base in London, determined to reintroduce great flavor to people’s lives and reconnect them with nature.
My two-decade-long devotion to flavor, initially a pursuit of personal pleasure, has given my work a deep sense of purpose. Flavor can emotionally connect us to food and bring joy back into our relationship with it. Changing careers opened a new world for me, filled with purpose and love for my work, and I hope it inspires others to fight for a better food-centric world.

Passage 1
(24-25高三上·浙江北斗星盟·高考模拟)
Jackie Hsiao, a sophomore at the University of Rochester Fencing Club, competed in the 2025 Fencing Junior Olympics in Charlotte, NC. This event marked the peak of six-year fencing journey and her first national-level encounter with elite fencers.
Hsiao’s fencing adventure began at a summer camp before her eighth grade year. Though she initially hated it due to long, sweaty hours in fencing gear and competing against more experienced opponents, her time at camp kindled an interest in the sport within her.
In high school, Hsiao found a welcoming community of fencers and coaches. She developed and refined her skills with the foil, the smallest and lightest fencing weapon. However, during her senior year, a devastating ACL tear (前交叉韧带撕裂) put her career in jeopardy. “I doubted I’d return to fencing,” she said. After surgery and nine months of grueling physical therapy two to three times a week, Hsiao began fencing again. Her defensive fencing style remained mostly the same, though she had to think more about her back leg position.
On the mental side, Hsiao emphasized positive thinking and mental preparation. She believed that negative thoughts could impact performance and learned to stop over-thinking during competition. Hsiao also revealed the life lessons fencing has taught her, saying, “Persistence is key and losing is one of the best ways to learn.”
Her family has been instrumental in supporting her through her fencing journey. When she qualified for the 2025 Fencing Junior Olympics, she immediately shared the news with her mother. At the Junior Olympics, she even met her favorite fencers, Lee Kiefer and Maia Chamberlain.
Jackie’s next goal is to continue competing at the national level and earn a rating from the United States Fencing Association. Recently, she was elected president of the University of Rochester Fencing Club and coaches women’s foilists. In April, she will lead her team to the United States Association of Collegiate Fencing Clubs Championship.
