Her invention won the 2019 James Dyson Award, which was created by the famous English inventor James Dyson to encourage students to try to use their creativity to solve problems in the real world. Lucy Hughes studied how to design products at the University of Sussex in England. As a designer, she knew a lot about how wasteful many products are. Plastic bags, for example, are often used once for a short time and then thrown away. She decided to challenge herself to make something out of waste instead. The University of Sussex isn’t far from the coast. Ms. Hughes spent some time studying the fishing business and the waste from fish that were thrown away. After some tests, she decided that the fish skin and scales seemed like the most likely parts for her product. She tried more than 100 different experiments before getting things just right. Ms. Hughes called her finished product “Marina Tex”. It solves two problems: the single-use plastic and fish waste. Marina Tex is clear and feels like plastic, but it’s stronger than normal plastic that is of the same thickness (厚度). It is also cheap to make since it’s made from fish waste. The process of making Marina Tex also doesn’t use much energy. Most importantly, Marina Tex doesn’t take hundreds of years to break down. On its own, it breaks down in four to six weeks. For winning the competition, Ms. Hughes earned £30,000. Her school got £5,000. She was looking forward to moving ahead with her idea. She hopes the award money will help her with the process of getting Marina Tex into use as quickly as possible. She thinks that one of the best uses for Marina Tex will be in some kinds of food packaging. 1．What did Lucy Hughes create? 2．How many experiments did Lucy Hughes try? 3．What problems does Marina Tex solve? 4．What do you think of Lucy Hughes? What can you learn from her? (List at least two aspects.) B 阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 Tina and Jordan run into each other at a coffee shop. Jordan: Hey, Tina, what are you working on now? Tina: I’m planning out my schedule for next month. Jordan: Why? You don’t know what’s going to happen next month. Tina: I know, but if I don’t make a plan, nothing will be achieved! Jordan: You have a tendency (趋势) to overthink things. What you need to do is to relax and smell the roses a little more, my friend. Tina: And with some careful planning, I can do that. It will save my time, reduce my stress and help me make sure things go well. Jordan: That’s where we totally differ. Being spontaneous (随性的) can lead to better experiences because planning too much takes the fun out of things. Sometimes the best experiences happen when you just go with the flow. Tina: OK, let’s take travelling as an example. If you don’t plan ahead, you might not get good hotel deals or tickets to popular attractions. Jordan: I think it makes the travel amazing when you explore (探索) without a strict schedule. You could find a cool little hotel or discover a restaurant you didn’t look up online. Plus, last-minute deals can sometimes be cheaper. Tina: Fine, but if you’re going somewhere, say an amusement park, planning is key. If you check the best times to go, you won’t have to stand waiting in long lines. Jordan: But if you don’t plan, you’re not stuck to a schedule. You can decide then and there what rides look fun instead of stressing out about hitting all the attractions on your list. It will be more relaxing and enjoyable. Tina: I get that, but having a plan at least gives you some direction. Jordan: And I think it’s more exciting to just see what will happen. A mix is probably best, but I’ll always choose to be spontaneous! Tina: And I’ll always prefer having a plan! 1．What is Tina working on now? 2．Why does Jordan believe that being spontaneous can lead to better experiences? 3．Why does Tina suggest checking the best times to go to an amusement park? 4．Imagine you are going on a three-day trip. Would you prefer Tina’s or Jordan’s style? Give two reasons for your choice. C 阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 When it comes to traveling, most people would choose to go with their families or friends. Now, more and more people are choosing new travel buddies (friends) —their pets. Zeng Qingbin is one such person. In the past eight years, the 35-year-old from Hangzhou, Zhejiang province, traveled across the country with his two pet dogs. In Zeng’s eyes, these dogs are like his children. “I’m always dreaming of letting them run freely on grasslands in high mountains,” Zeng said. As traveling with pets becomes more popular in China, the related (相关的) services are also growing. Zhang Wei who works on pet hiking held about 180 pet trips from 2022 to 2025. Each trip usually included two to five guides for groups of up to 30 owners and their dogs. “Safety is the most important, and all the guides are trained to deal with various emergencies (各种紧急情况) in the mountains,” Zhang said. Before a trip, Zhang’s team asks pet owners to fill out a form (表格) about their dogs to make them have a better service. At the same time, airlines began offering charter flight (包租航班) services for pet owners to travel across the country and even internationally. In 2024, China’s first international charter flight allowing pets landed at Shanghai Pudong International Airport after taking 60 tourists and over 20 pet dogs to Thailand. There will be more trips to South Korea, Southeast Asia and Europe. “Though domestic (国内的) pet tourism is still in its early going and faces many difficulties, it is becoming more and more popular,” experts said. Zeng is looking forward to having more travel options (选择) for his dogs in the future. “I plan to explore as much as possible with my dogs and let them experience more,” said Zeng. 1．Who did Zeng Qingbin travel across the country with? 2．How many pet trips did Zhang Wei hold? 3．When did China’s first international pet charter begin? 4．Would you like to travel with a pet in the future? Why or why not? (Give two reasons. ) D Home Is Where the Heart Is In 2017 a record number of over 41 million tourists from abroad visited the United Kingdom. This number fell to a new low of nearly 6.4 million in 2021 but since then numbers greatly rose to just under 30 million in 2022. It’s likely to reach 35 million in 2023. Why do tourists continue to come to the UK in such numbers? “Harlem World” gives a number of reasons why the United Kingdom is one of the most popular places to visit in Europe. It highlights the breath-taking scenery, with historic castles and rolling green fields. Then there are the pubs and delicious food, such as fish and chips and pies. And then there are the people. They are described as being “universally quite lovely”. It goes on to say that “People in the UK are well-read, well-spoken, and well-dressed. They know how to hold a conversation. People in the UK are polite and easy to be around... When you take a trip to the UK, you will be attracted by the people. They are amazing.” Many of us are choosing to stay local and tasting what the good old British Isles has to offer as an alternative (替代物). A third of British are choosing to keep their feet firmly on the ground and holiday at home this year. More and more holiday makers are moving away from lying in the sun by the pool all day and only moving to fill up at the all-day buffet kind of holiday. They are choosing to take the all-action sporting holiday. It’s no longer “eat and drink as much as you possibly can” but “do as many exciting challenging things as you possibly can.” Neil Bevan, General Manager at The Manor & Ashbury Resorts in Devon is excited to see more and more people joining exploring his beautiful part of the country. The Manor and Ashbury Resorts offer an outstanding choice of over 70 different sporting and leisure (休闲) activities including golf, tennis, bowling and archery (射箭). 1．How many tourists are likely to visit the UK in 2023? 2．What are the people in the UK like? 3．What sporting and leisure activities do the Manor and Ashbury Resorts offer? 4．Do you want to travel to the UK for holiday? Why or why not? (at least 2 points) （2025·北京·中考真题）阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 We do everything in a hurry—finishing our meals, completing our tasks, running to the gyms... We choose fast living because we think we have no control of time. We try to do as much as we can each day, checking off tasks on our to-do lists. Living in a rush feels like we are always pressed for time. Our way of thinking that is focused on speed values doing more over doing things well. For a long time, we believe that speed means being productive and successful, and therefore, we keep rushing here and there in doing everything. Yet from time to time, we find ourselves in a predicament (困境) that no matter how fast we go, we never seem to be quick enough to catch up with our endless tasks and goals. The Slow Movement thinks that the answer to our predicament is not to live faster, but to learn how to live slower. The movement began with the Slow Food Program, which was set up in 1986. It believed that we should fight against fast-food restaurants, protect traditional cooking, and encourage people to enjoy preparing and eating food. The belief finally spread from the Slow Food Program to other parts of life. In 1999, it helped create Cittaslow—a group focused on slowing down life in cities. This belief about slowing down quickly began to influence areas like work, travel, fashion, and living in general. The main idea of the Slow Movement is to value quality over quantity (数量) . Slow living is a lifestyle based on the Slow Movement. Its goal is to free us from endless rush that stops us from enjoying moments of rest. Slow living encourages us to live each moment whole-heartedly and give everything the time it needs, rather than try to do as many things as possible in every minute of our lives. Today, more people are drawn to the idea of the Slow Movement, thanks to social media sharing the many benefits of living slowly. 1．Why do people choose fast living? 2．What is the answer to our predicament, according to the Slow Movement? 3．What is the main idea of the Slow Movement? 4．Which lifestyle do you prefer, fast living or slow living? Why? (Please give two reasons.) A （2025·北京海淀·三模） 阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 Aesha Ash spent most of her life ballet (芭蕾舞) dancing and even turned it into a career as a member of the New York City Ballet. As much as she loved to dance, she found the weight of her responsibility heavy because she was often the only African American ballerina (芭蕾舞女演员) in her classes and company. After retiring (退休) from ballet in 2007, Aesha enjoyed the quiet life for more than ten years before she decided to come back to ballet, but in a completely new way. She started The Swan Dreams Project that helps kids in poor areas get into the world of ballet. Aesha set up a one-week camp that invited kids to not only learn the basics of ballet, but also get an introduction to French (since she says it is “the language of ballet”). Her first camp was in 2018 in a poor neighborhood in New York. When she arrived she was greeted by dozens of students, most of whom were African Americans. She wanted to help kids who otherwise might not have ever had the chance to live in the world of ballet. On the final day of camp, after a week of learning, the students put on a final performance for their family and friends. Before the performance, Aesha said she was nervous that it would be less of a performance and more of a mess, since the campers were all between 8 and 11 years old. Much to her surprise, it turned out to be perfect. She said, “When we went out to our first circle and the kids began counting in French and performing the steps they had just learned, my heart melted.” Aesha continues to do whatever she can to help kids learn ballet. She found a way to turn that seemingly unbearable weight she once carried around into something good for kids, as well as for the world of ballet. 1．What did Aesha do before she retired? 2．Where did Aesha set up her first ballet camp? 3．Why was Aesha nervous before the final performance? 4．Suppose you are Aesha in the passage, what will you do after retiring? Please list two things and give the reasons separately. B （2025·北京房山·二模） 阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 Walking Barefoot Barefoot walking has a long history and we can’t say it was started by just one person. In 2009, Christopher McDougall published the book Barn to Run, which tells the story of the Tarahumara people in Mexico who run long distances barefoot. George Woodville is called “Barefoot Guy” on social media. He shares his barefoot experiences with strangers online. Many people liked his videos and tried walking barefoot. World Barefoot Day is on the first Saturday of June every year. This day encourages people to walk without shoes. The aim is to make more people know about poor children who can’t afford shoes. Some groups also start activities to collect and give away shoes and money. If you want to try walking barefoot, you can practise at home or in a safe place. Make sure to check your feet for cuts after each walk and keep your feet clean. Walking barefoot can offer surprising health benefits. Taking time each day to walk barefoot or step outside and put your feet in the grass can improve your physical and mental health. Walking without shoes can strengthen the muscles of the feet. People who run without shoes usually have larger leg and foot muscles. What’s more, it helps us improve our balance and posture (体态). Walking barefoot is also good for our mental health. While walking around barefoot can have many benefits and positive effects on your health, you have to remember that humans invented shoes for a reason. Sure, there are plenty of benefits to walking around barefoot some of the time, but that doesn’t mean that you should just throw away all of your shoes and go all natural all the time. The most obvious reason for wearing shoes is to protect our feet from environments. Sometimes, we might step on something and get our feet cut. And walking barefoot in some public places may put us at risk of getting diseases like athlete’s foot. Also, if we’re not used to it, it might be a bit hard on our joints (关节). Although there are some risks, the benefits of walking barefoot are really amazing! 1．Who is called “Barefoot Guy” on social media? 2．When is World Barefoot Day? 3．Where can you practise walking barefoot? 4．Would you like to try walking barefoot? Why or why not? (Please give two reasons,) C （2025·北京门头沟·二模） 阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 Should We Have a Weekly Screen-free Day? Have you ever asked someone a question, but they didn’t reply because they were looking at their phone or tablet (平板电脑)? Or maybe you planned to play a game online for just 10 minutes, but when you checked the time, hours have passed. People are using technology more than ever before. That’s why the charity Fairplay wants people to really think about how much time they spend using digital devices, like smartphones, tablets or computers. Fairplay wants people to devote (留出) one day a week to living without screens. It says that this will help people “take the time we need to focus on our families and our well-being”. Is this realistic (现实可行的) now? And what if using screens makes you happier? What do you think? Should people have one screen-free day a week? Some people think that we are spending too much time online, which can be really bad for our health. Studies have shown that it can affect our sleep. It also makes it harder for young people to focus for a long time. Even though technology is an important part of people’s lives, so is free time. Less time spent online means more time to live in the real world. Whether it’s playing sports, painting or reading a book, a day offline would help people focus on their hobbies. Hobbies can make people feel more rested and relaxed. Having one screen-free day a week would also bring families together. Screens can take away the quality time they spend with loved ones and can even cause arguments. A day without screens is a simple idea that the whole family can follow. But some people have different ideas. They think instead of banning (禁止) technology for one day a week, we should pay more attention to how often we’re online and how it makes us feel. Scrolling (滑动浏览) on social media can make us feel like we’re missing out, while receiving a funny dog video from a friend can make us feel happy right now. In fact, research has shown that screen time can improve young people’s education and development. It’s also unrealistic to spend a whole day offline—people depend on digital devices to keep in touch. It’s not wise, either. What if we’re in an emergency and need to reach someone? Surely, it’s better to take short breaks every day and turn screens off during mealtimes and an hour or two before bed. A healthy balance is what we should aim for. 1．What does the charity Fairplay want people to really think about? 2．What does “less time spent online” mean? 3．What do some people think we should do instead of banning technology for one day a week? 4．Would you like to have one screen-free day a week? Why or why not? (Please give at least two reasons.)

First, let me tell you the story, and then we can talk about it. Once upon a time, there was an old man who used to go to the ocean to do his writing. He had a habit of walking on the beach every morning before he began his work. Early one morning, he was walking along the shore after a big storm had passed and found the beach covered with starfish as far as the eye could see, stretching in both directions. starfish Off in the distance, the old man noticed a small boy approaching. As the boy walked, he paused every so often and as he grew closer, the man could see that he was occasionally bending down to pick up an object and throw it into the sea. The boy came closer still and the man called out, “Good morning! May I ask what it is that you are doing?” The young boy paused, looked up, and replied “Throwing starfish into the ocean. The tide has washed them up onto the beach and they can’t return to the sea by themselves,” the youth replied. “When the sun gets high, they will die, unless I throw them back into the water.” The old man replied, “But there must be tens of thousands of starfish on this beach. I’m afraid you won’t really be able to make much of a difference.” The boy bent down, picked up yet another starfish and threw it as far as he could into the ocean. Then he turned, smiled and said, “It made a difference to that one!” We all have the opportunity to help create positive change, but if you’re like me, you sometimes find yourself thinking, “I’m already really busy, and how much of a difference can I really make?” I think this is especially true when we’re talking about addressing massive social problems like tackling world hunger or finding a cure for cancer, but it pops up all of the time in our everyday lives, as well. So when I catch myself thinking that way, it helps to remember this story. You might not be able to change the entire world, but at least you can change a small part of it, for someone. They say that one of the most common reasons we procrastinate (拖延) is because we see the challenge before us as too big or difficult to deal with, and that a good way to counter that is to break the big challenge down into smaller pieces and then take those one at a time—like one starfish at a time. And to that one starfish, it can make a world of difference. 1．What did the old man find on the beach early one morning? 2．What was the small boy doing on the beach? 3．Why did the boy do that? 4．What do you think of the boy? Why?

Jordan: Hey, Tina, what are you working on now? Tina: I’m planning out my schedule for next month. Jordan: Why? You don’t know what’s going to happen next month. Tina: I know, but if I don’t make a plan, nothing will be achieved! Jordan: You have a tendency (趋势) to overthink things. What you need to do is to relax and smell the roses a little more, my friend. Tina: And with some careful planning, I can do that. It will save my time, reduce my stress and help me make sure things go well. Jordan: That’s where we totally differ. Being spontaneous (随性的) can lead to better experiences because planning too much takes the fun out of things. Sometimes the best experiences happen when you just go with the flow. Tina: OK, let’s take travelling as an example. If you don’t plan ahead, you might not get good hotel deals or tickets to popular attractions. Jordan: I think it makes the travel amazing when you explore (探索) without a strict schedule. You could find a cool little hotel or discover a restaurant you didn’t look up online. Plus, last-minute deals can sometimes be cheaper. Tina: Fine, but if you’re going somewhere, say an amusement park, planning is key. If you check the best times to go, you won’t have to stand waiting in long lines. Jordan: But if you don’t plan, you’re not stuck to a schedule. You can decide then and there what rides look fun instead of stressing out about hitting all the attractions on your list. It will be more relaxing and enjoyable. Tina: I get that, but having a plan at least gives you some direction. Jordan: And I think it’s more exciting to just see what will happen. A mix is probably best, but I’ll always choose to be spontaneous! Tina: And I’ll always prefer having a plan! 1．What is Tina working on now? 2．Why does Jordan believe that being spontaneous can lead to better experiences? 3．Why does Tina suggest checking the best times to go to an amusement park? 4．Imagine you are going on a three-day trip. Would you prefer Tina’s or Jordan’s style? Give two reasons for your choice. 【答案】 1． She is planning out her schedule for next month. 2． Because planning too much takes the fun out of things and sometimes the best experiences happen when you just go with the flow. 3． To avoid standing in long lines. 4．I would prefer Tina’s style. First, it can save time and reduce stress. Second, it helps make sure things go well. 【难度】0.4 【知识点】计划、议论文、意见/建议 【导语】本文是一篇议论文，主要讲述了Tina和Jordan在咖啡店偶遇后，就“计划与随性”的生活方式展开讨论，分别阐述了计划性和随性旅行的优缺点。 1．根据“Tina: I’m planning out my schedule for next month.”可知，Tina正在计划下个月的日程安排。故填She is planning out her schedule for next month. 2．根据“Jordan: That’s where we totally differ.

Now, more and more people are choosing new travel buddies (friends) —their pets. Zeng Qingbin is one such person. In the past eight years, the 35-year-old from Hangzhou, Zhejiang province, traveled across the country with his two pet dogs. In Zeng’s eyes, these dogs are like his children. “I’m always dreaming of letting them run freely on grasslands in high mountains,” Zeng said. As traveling with pets becomes more popular in China, the related (相关的) services are also growing. Zhang Wei who works on pet hiking held about 180 pet trips from 2022 to 2025. Each trip usually included two to five guides for groups of up to 30 owners and their dogs. “Safety is the most important, and all the guides are trained to deal with various emergencies (各种紧急情况) in the mountains,” Zhang said. Before a trip, Zhang’s team asks pet owners to fill out a form (表格) about their dogs to make them have a better service. At the same time, airlines began offering charter flight (包租航班) services for pet owners to travel across the country and even internationally. In 2024, China’s first international charter flight allowing pets landed at Shanghai Pudong International Airport after taking 60 tourists and over 20 pet dogs to Thailand. There will be more trips to South Korea, Southeast Asia and Europe. “Though domestic (国内的) pet tourism is still in its early going and faces many difficulties, it is becoming more and more popular,” experts said. Zeng is looking forward to having more travel options (选择) for his dogs in the future. “I plan to explore as much as possible with my dogs and let them experience more,” said Zeng. 1．Who did Zeng Qingbin travel across the country with? 2．How many pet trips did Zhang Wei hold? 3．When did China’s first international pet charter begin? 4．Would you like to travel with a pet in the future? Why or why not? (Give two reasons. ) 【答案】 1． His two pet dogs. 2． About 180 pet trips. 3． In 2024. 4．回答合理即可。参考答案：Yes. Because I want to share fun experiences with them.

This number fell to a new low of nearly 6.4 million in 2021 but since then numbers greatly rose to just under 30 million in 2022. It’s likely to reach 35 million in 2023. Why do tourists continue to come to the UK in such numbers? “Harlem World” gives a number of reasons why the United Kingdom is one of the most popular places to visit in Europe. It highlights the breath-taking scenery, with historic castles and rolling green fields. Then there are the pubs and delicious food, such as fish and chips and pies. And then there are the people. They are described as being “universally quite lovely”. It goes on to say that “People in the UK are well-read, well-spoken, and well-dressed. They know how to hold a conversation. People in the UK are polite and easy to be around... When you take a trip to the UK, you will be attracted by the people. They are amazing.” Many of us are choosing to stay local and tasting what the good old British Isles has to offer as an alternative (替代物). A third of British are choosing to keep their feet firmly on the ground and holiday at home this year. More and more holiday makers are moving away from lying in the sun by the pool all day and only moving to fill up at the all-day buffet kind of holiday. They are choosing to take the all-action sporting holiday. It’s no longer “eat and drink as much as you possibly can” but “do as many exciting challenging things as you possibly can.” Neil Bevan, General Manager at The Manor & Ashbury Resorts in Devon is excited to see more and more people joining exploring his beautiful part of the country. The Manor and Ashbury Resorts offer an outstanding choice of over 70 different sporting and leisure (休闲) activities including golf, tennis, bowling and archery (射箭). 1．How many tourists are likely to visit the UK in 2023? 2．What are the people in the UK like? 3．What sporting and leisure activities do the Manor and Ashbury Resorts offer? 4．Do you want to travel to the UK for holiday? Why or why not?

We choose fast living because we think we have no control of time. We try to do as much as we can each day, checking off tasks on our to-do lists. Living in a rush feels like we are always pressed for time. Our way of thinking that is focused on speed values doing more over doing things well. For a long time, we believe that speed means being productive and successful, and therefore, we keep rushing here and there in doing everything. Yet from time to time, we find ourselves in a predicament (困境) that no matter how fast we go, we never seem to be quick enough to catch up with our endless tasks and goals. The Slow Movement thinks that the answer to our predicament is not to live faster, but to learn how to live slower. The movement began with the Slow Food Program, which was set up in 1986. It believed that we should fight against fast-food restaurants, protect traditional cooking, and encourage people to enjoy preparing and eating food. The belief finally spread from the Slow Food Program to other parts of life. In 1999, it helped create Cittaslow—a group focused on slowing down life in cities. This belief about slowing down quickly began to influence areas like work, travel, fashion, and living in general. The main idea of the Slow Movement is to value quality over quantity (数量) . Slow living is a lifestyle based on the Slow Movement. Its goal is to free us from endless rush that stops us from enjoying moments of rest. Slow living encourages us to live each moment whole-heartedly and give everything the time it needs, rather than try to do as many things as possible in every minute of our lives. Today, more people are drawn to the idea of the Slow Movement, thanks to social media sharing the many benefits of living slowly. 1．Why do people choose fast living? 2．What is the answer to our predicament, according to the Slow Movement? 3．What is the main idea of the Slow Movement? 4．Which lifestyle do you prefer, fast living or slow living? Why? (Please give two reasons.) 【答案】 1． Because they think they have no control of time. 2． The answer is to learn how to live slower. 3． The main idea is to value quality over quantity. 4．I prefer slow living. First, it can free us from endless rush and help us enjoy moments of rest. Second, it helps us reduce stress, making us feel more relaxed and at peace. 【难度】0.4 【知识点】哲理感悟、议论文、意见/建议 【导语】本文是一篇议论文，主要探讨了现代人快节奏生活的弊端，并介绍了“慢生活运动”的理念及其意义。 1．根据第一段“We choose fast living because we think we have no control of time.”可知，人们选择快生活是因为他们认为自己无法掌控时间。故填Because they think they have no control of time. 2．根据第三段“The Slow Movement thinks that the answer to our predicament is not to live faster, but to learn how to live slower.”可知，慢生活运动认为，解决困境的方法不是更快地生活，而是学会如何慢下来。故填The answer is to learn how to live slower. 3．根据第五段“The main idea of the Slow Movement is to value quality over quantity.”可知，慢生活运动的主旨是重视质量而非数量。故填The main idea is to value quality over quantity. 4．本题是一道开放性试题，结合个人观点选择快节奏生活或者慢节奏生活，并给出两个原因。参考答案为：I prefer slow living. First, it can free us from endless rush and help us enjoy moments of rest. Second, it helps us reduce stress, making us feel more relaxed and at peace. A （2025·北京海淀·三模） 阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 Aesha Ash spent most of her life ballet (芭蕾舞) dancing and even turned it into a career as a member of the New York City Ballet. As much as she loved to dance, she found the weight of her responsibility heavy because she was often the only African American ballerina (芭蕾舞女演员) in her classes and company. After retiring (退休) from ballet in 2007, Aesha enjoyed the quiet life for more than ten years before she decided to come back to ballet, but in a completely new way. She started The Swan Dreams Project that helps kids in poor areas get into the world of ballet. Aesha set up a one-week camp that invited kids to not only learn the basics of ballet, but also get an introduction to French (since she says it is “the language of ballet”). Her first camp was in 2018 in a poor neighborhood in New York. When she arrived she was greeted by dozens of students, most of whom were African Americans. She wanted to help kids who otherwise might not have ever had the chance to live in the world of ballet. On the final day of camp, after a week of learning, the students put on a final performance for their family and friends. Before the performance, Aesha said she was nervous that it would be less of a performance and more of a mess, since the campers were all between 8 and 11 years old. Much to her surprise, it turned out to be perfect. She said, “When we went out to our first circle and the kids began counting in French and performing the steps they had just learned, my heart melted.” Aesha continues to do whatever she can to help kids learn ballet. She found a way to turn that seemingly unbearable weight she once carried around into something good for kids, as well as for the world of ballet. 1．What did Aesha do before she retired? 2．Where did Aesha set up her first ballet camp? 3．Why was Aesha nervous before the final performance? 4．Suppose you are Aesha in the passage, what will you do after retiring? Please list two things and give the reasons separately. 【答案】 1． She was a ballet dancer and a member of the New York City Ballet. 2． In a poor neighborhood in New York. 3． Because she thought the campers were all between 8 and 11 years old and the performance might be a mess. 4．First, I would expand “The Swan Dreams Project” to more countries. Because Aesha’s goal was to make ballet accessible to underprivileged kids. Expanding globally aligns with her mission to break racial and economic barriers in ballet. Second, I would publish a memoir about my career to inspire future dancers. Because her unique experience as a rare African American ballerina could motivate others to pursue ballet despite challenges. 【难度】0.4 【知识点】其他著名人物、记叙文 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Aesha Ash的芭蕾舞生涯以及她退休后如何通过创办“天鹅梦想计划”来帮助贫困地区的孩子接触芭蕾舞的故事。 1．根据“Aesha Ash spent most of her life ballet (芭蕾舞) dancing and even turned it into a career as a member of the New York City Ballet.”可知，Aesha退休前是一名芭蕾舞演员，并且是纽约市芭蕾舞团的成员。故填She was a ballet dancer and a member of the New York City Ballet. 2．根据“Her first camp was in 2018 in a poor neighborhood in New York.”可知，Aesha的第一个芭蕾舞营地是在纽约的一个贫困社区设立的。故填In a poor neighborhood in New York. 3．根据“Before the performance, Aesha said she was nervous that it would be less of a performance and more of a mess, since the campers were all between 8 and 11 years old.”可知，Aesha在最后一场演出前感到紧张，是因为她担心演出会变得一团糟，因为参加营地的孩子们年龄都在8到11岁之间。故填Because she thought the campers were all between 8 and 11 years old and the performance might be a mess. 4．开放性作答，结合实际，言之有理即可。参考答案为First, I would expand “The Swan Dreams Project” to more countries. Because Aesha’s goal was to make ballet accessible to underprivileged kids. Expanding globally aligns with her mission to break racial and economic barriers in ballet. Second, I would publish a memoir about my career to inspire future dancers.

B （2025·北京房山·二模） 阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 Walking Barefoot Barefoot walking has a long history and we can’t say it was started by just one person. In 2009, Christopher McDougall published the book Barn to Run, which tells the story of the Tarahumara people in Mexico who run long distances barefoot. George Woodville is called “Barefoot Guy” on social media. He shares his barefoot experiences with strangers online. Many people liked his videos and tried walking barefoot. World Barefoot Day is on the first Saturday of June every year. This day encourages people to walk without shoes. The aim is to make more people know about poor children who can’t afford shoes. Some groups also start activities to collect and give away shoes and money. If you want to try walking barefoot, you can practise at home or in a safe place. Make sure to check your feet for cuts after each walk and keep your feet clean. Walking barefoot can offer surprising health benefits. Taking time each day to walk barefoot or step outside and put your feet in the grass can improve your physical and mental health. Walking without shoes can strengthen the muscles of the feet. People who run without shoes usually have larger leg and foot muscles. What’s more, it helps us improve our balance and posture (体态). Walking barefoot is also good for our mental health. While walking around barefoot can have many benefits and positive effects on your health, you have to remember that humans invented shoes for a reason. Sure, there are plenty of benefits to walking around barefoot some of the time, but that doesn’t mean that you should just throw away all of your shoes and go all natural all the time. The most obvious reason for wearing shoes is to protect our feet from environments. Sometimes, we might step on something and get our feet cut. And walking barefoot in some public places may put us at risk of getting diseases like athlete’s foot. Also, if we’re not used to it, it might be a bit hard on our joints (关节). Although there are some risks, the benefits of walking barefoot are really amazing! 1．Who is called “Barefoot Guy” on social media? 2．When is World Barefoot Day? 3．Where can you practise walking barefoot? 4．Would you like to try walking barefoot? Why or why not? (Please give two reasons,) 【答案】 1． George Woodville. 2． On the first Saturday of June every year. 3． At home or in a safe place 4．Yes. First, walking without shoes can strengthen the muscles of the feet. Second, it helps me improve my balance and posture. 【难度】0.4 【知识点】健康与运动、锻炼/健身（个人）、说明文 【导语】本文主要讨论了赤脚行走的历史、相关人物、世界赤脚日、赤脚行走的益处与风险等内容。 1．根据文中“George Woodville is called ‘Barefoot Guy’ on social media.”可知，George Woodville在社交媒体上被称为“赤脚人”。故填George Woodville. 2．根据文中“World Barefoot Day is on the first Saturday of June every year.”可知，世界赤脚日在每年六月的第一个星期六。故填On the first Saturday of June every year. 3．根据文中“If you want to try walking barefoot, you can practise at home or in a safe place.”可知，如果想尝试赤脚行走，可以在家里或者安全的地方练习。故填At home or in a safe place. 4．这是一个开放性问题，答案因人而异。但可以根据文章内容和个人理解来回答。故填Yes.

Have you ever asked someone a question, but they didn’t reply because they were looking at their phone or tablet (平板电脑)? Or maybe you planned to play a game online for just 10 minutes, but when you checked the time, hours have passed. People are using technology more than ever before. That’s why the charity Fairplay wants people to really think about how much time they spend using digital devices, like smartphones, tablets or computers. Fairplay wants people to devote (留出) one day a week to living without screens. It says that this will help people “take the time we need to focus on our families and our well-being”. Is this realistic (现实可行的) now? And what if using screens makes you happier? What do you think? Should people have one screen-free day a week? Some people think that we are spending too much time online, which can be really bad for our health. Studies have shown that it can affect our sleep. It also makes it harder for young people to focus for a long time. Even though technology is an important part of people’s lives, so is free time. Less time spent online means more time to live in the real world. Whether it’s playing sports, painting or reading a book, a day offline would help people focus on their hobbies. Hobbies can make people feel more rested and relaxed. Having one screen-free day a week would also bring families together. Screens can take away the quality time they spend with loved ones and can even cause arguments. A day without screens is a simple idea that the whole family can follow. But some people have different ideas. They think instead of banning (禁止) technology for one day a week, we should pay more attention to how often we’re online and how it makes us feel. Scrolling (滑动浏览) on social media can make us feel like we’re missing out, while receiving a funny dog video from a friend can make us feel happy right now. In fact, research has shown that screen time can improve young people’s education and development. It’s also unrealistic to spend a whole day offline—people depend on digital devices to keep in touch. It’s not wise, either. What if we’re in an emergency and need to reach someone? Surely, it’s better to take short breaks every day and turn screens off during mealtimes and an hour or two before bed. A healthy balance is what we should aim for. 1．What does the charity Fairplay want people to really think about? 2．What does “less time spent online” mean? 3．What do some people think we should do instead of banning technology for one day a week? 4．Would you like to have one screen-free day a week? Why or why not? (Please give at least two reasons.) 【答案】 1． How much time they spend using digital devices, like smartphones, tablets or computers. 2．Less time spent online means more time to live in the real world. 3．We should pay more attention to how often we’re online and how it makes us feel. 4．Yes, because it helps focus on hobbies and improves family time. 【难度】0.4 【知识点】议论文、网络的利弊 【导语】本文围绕“是否应该设立每周无屏幕日”展开讨论，分别列举了支持与反对的观点及理由。 1．根据“That’s why the charity Fairplay wants people to really think about how much time they spend using digital devices, like smartphones, tablets or computers.”可知，Fairplay关注的是人们对电子设备的使用时长。故填How much time they spend using digital devices, like smartphones, tablets or computers. 2．根据“Less time spent online means more time to live in the real world.”可知，减少上网时间意味着更多时间生活在现实世界中。故填Less time spent online means more time to live in the real world. 3．根据“They think instead of banning (禁止) technology for one day a week, we should pay more attention to how often we’re online and how it makes us feel”可知，我们应更关注上网频率及其对情绪的影响。故填We should pay more attention to how often we’re online and how it makes us feel. 4．开放性试题，言之有理即可，参考答案：Yes, because it helps focus on hobbies and improves family time. D （2025·北京顺义·二模） 阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 One Step towards Changing the World You may have heard this story, but I find that it doesn’t hurt to be reminded of it every once in a while. First, let me tell you the story, and then we can talk about it. Once upon a time, there was an old man who used to go to the ocean to do his writing. He had a habit of walking on the beach every morning before he began his work. Early one morning, he was walking along the shore after a big storm had passed and found the beach covered with starfish as far as the eye could see, stretching in both directions. starfish Off in the distance, the old man noticed a small boy approaching. As the boy walked, he paused every so often and as he grew closer, the man could see that he was occasionally bending down to pick up an object and throw it into the sea. The boy came closer still and the man called out, “Good morning! May I ask what it is that you are doing?” The young boy paused, looked up, and replied “Throwing starfish into the ocean. The tide has washed them up onto the beach and they can’t return to the sea by themselves,” the youth replied. “When the sun gets high, they will die, unless I throw them back into the water.” The old man replied, “But there must be tens of thousands of starfish on this beach. I’m afraid you won’t really be able to make much of a difference.” The boy bent down, picked up yet another starfish and threw it as far as he could into the ocean. Then he turned, smiled and said, “It made a difference to that one!” We all have the opportunity to help create positive change, but if you’re like me, you sometimes find yourself thinking, “I’m already really busy, and how much of a difference can I really make?” I think this is especially true when we’re talking about addressing massive social problems like tackling world hunger or finding a cure for cancer, but it pops up all of the time in our everyday lives, as well. So when I catch myself thinking that way, it helps to remember this story. You might not be able to change the entire world, but at least you can change a small part of it, for someone. They say that one of the most common reasons we procrastinate (拖延) is because we see the challenge before us as too big or difficult to deal with, and that a good way to counter that is to break the big challenge down into smaller pieces and then take those one at a time—like one starfish at a time. And to that one starfish, it can make a world of difference. 1．What did the old man find on the beach early one morning? 2．What was the small boy doing on the beach? 3．Why did the boy do that? 4．What do you think of the boy? Why? (Please give two reasons.) 【答案】 1． He found the beach covered with starfish after a big storm.   2． He was picking up starfish and throwing them into the ocean.   3． Because the tide washed starfish onto the beach and they couldn’t return to the sea by themselves. They would die when the sun got high, and he wanted to save them. 4．I think the boy is kind-hearted and persistent. First, he is kind-hearted because he is willing to spend time saving the starfish from dying and doesn’t ignore the situation.

They would die when the sun got high, and he wanted to save them. 4．开放性试题，答案合理即可。故填I think the boy is kind-hearted and persistent.
