So our family held an activity “Bottle of Rubbish Task”. That means the rubbish needs to be put in a 600 ml bottle. We decided to test our ability and produce as little rubbish as possible. My father worked online all day, so he didn’t produce any paper waste except paper napkins.He made the least rubbish in our family. My mother cooked and produced plenty of kitchen waste, such as vegetable leaves, eggshells and food bags. What’s worse, we couldn’t eat up all the food of the dinner that day. So leftovers couldn’t be avoided. It was not easy for mom to deal with all the rubbish, but she found a way to put it all into the bottle. How amazing! My sister, a 16-year-old student, was busy preparing for her exams. She had to use paper to work out math or physics problems. She used only one side of the paper in the past. But from then on, she tried to use both sides of the paper because she realized we were challenging ourselves.She did a good job! I was different from my sister. I love snacks and drinks. So my rubbish was almost from them. I was highly alert (警觉的) that I must produce less waste. I had fewer snacks or drinks. It was too difficult, but I did it! I’ve learnt a lot from this activity.

This little wonder has made himself quite famous for his special ability to smell out injured and homeless koalas (考拉) in places that just went through forest fires. What he wasn’t expecting was becoming an international superstar, attracting thousands of followers on social media (媒体) and even catching the attention of Hollywood stars Tom Hanks and Leonardo DiCaprio! “We had special fireproof (防火的) shoes made for him to protect his feet from being hurt,” explains proud owner and wildlife campaigner Tyson Mayr, 34, who teamed up with Bear after looking for a way to help animals influenced by the forest fires. “Bear’s so strong, but the moment he gets up close and personal with a little one he’s saved, he gets quite sad.” Tyson reached out to the International Fund for Animal Welfare, which directed him to the Detection Dogs for Conservation program at the University of the Sunshine Coast in Queensland, where Bear was in training. “I’ll never forget meeting Bear for the first time there, looking into those beautiful blue eyes. Even today I tear up because he is the real deal,” says Tyson, adding that Bear was forced to leave his first owners because of his obsessive-compulsive disorder (强迫症). “Firsthand, I quickly saw just how much of an influence he was having. He runs for 10 km without even a drink stop, and can save up to 50 koalas in a day.” “The koalas know he’s out there to save them,” adds Tyson. “I think they’d agree with the rest of us that dogs really do make life so much better!” 5．What is Bear good at?

Passage 3 （23-24高一上·辽宁丹东·期末） Anna, a retired teacher, was walking her dogs when she found yellow marks stuck on some of the 99 oak trees in a lane close to her home. The marks indicated trees were bound to be felled (砍伐). Anna loved that ancient line of oaks. She felt upset when remembering the moment she realized the oaks would be cut down. “My family and I would picnic under them, climb them, have rope swings on them. The trees are beautiful and mean so much.” she says. The trees were to be cut down as part of the new high-speed railway works. She called the railway helpline and was told there was nothing that could be done. Anna had spent her career as a teacher telling children that “If something is wrong, you can’t stand by and let it happen. You have to speak up for people who can’t speak for themselves.” She thought, “Who is speaking for the trees?” So she began to save the trees with her daughter’s help. She started a petition (请愿书) which collected nearly 43,000 signatures. She also started a campaign, urging local people to sound their horns when driving down the road if they wanted the oaks to stay. “You could hear people honking all the way down the lane,” she says. “It was amazing.” Anna made contact with a nonprofit. “We discovered seven species of bats were using the trees as a commuting corridor,” she says. So the felling stopped. “There are 87 trees still standing because of the campaign,” says Anna proudly. “But 20 to 30 trees still remain under threat. We want a green crossing in the gaps between trees for the bats, and we’d like the place to become a conservation area.” For Anna, campaigning for the trees has been life-changing. “If you’d said that I’d be where I am now 16 months ago, I wouldn’t have believed you. I’m called ‘Bat Woman’ by my campaign colleagues now. For the trees and the bats - this is what I am and will be fighting for!” she says. 9．Why was Anna depressed when knowing the trees would be cut down?

D．The building of high-speed railway would bother her. 10．What inspired Anna to save the trees? A．The timely help from her daughter. B．The support from local people. C．Her educational belief as a teacher. D．Her eagerness for being famous. 11．What is Paragraph 4 mainly about? A．The bats Anna had saved. B．The importance of the oak trees.

B．She has been what was expected 16 years ago. C．She will continue to protect the trees and the bats.

Parties were a mixed experience for me — I really wanted to be part of them, but usually spent the night waiting for it to end. I saw others getting everyone’s attention. I felt less confident. They say confidence comes with time. But eight years into my HR (human resources) career (职业), I still found myself staying out of the limelight (公众注意的中心). And then a colleague asked me if I was an introvert (内向的人). “No...?” I replied. I thought introverts were strange, and they didn’t even like people. That was certainly not me. I’d always liked people; I found them fascinating. When I was with my closest friends, I was quite talkative. Then he explained to me that introverts don’t know what to do when they’re around other people and need alone time to recharge. Extroverts are the opposite. And that was it. Hearing the two simple statements, I felt like over three decades of shame had been lifted off my shoulders. I learned to accept my introverted nature and focused on what I enjoyed. As I began to connect with people one-on-one, I found it very meaningful. This encouraged me to explore how I could use my introversion to help others. Finally, I started an online business called Career Off Script, where I focus on helping young professionals who are feeling lost and unhappy. I work with them one-on-one to discover their unique superpowers, strengths. So they, too, can appreciate their uniqueness and find their own success. 1．What is paragraph 1 mainly about?

Their team would be travelling to Dallas and to College Station to compete. However, Grady’s family was too poor to send him. But the tournaments were an experience the young man didn’t want to miss out on. “It was hard for me to stay in sports,” Grady said. “It made me feel kind of sad, but I didn’t lose hope.” The 13-year-old and his father discussed ways that he could raise some money to attend. Then they decided to make tamales, a kind of local snack Grady brought them and a big cooler of iced waters to the crossing of Spencer and Underwood with a sign which read: “Water S1.00 a Bottle for World Series Baseball.” A teammate’s mother heard about what Grady was doing and stopped by to bring him a few extra boxes of water. A person who passed by noticed the teen selling waters and tamales to play baseball. He shared a photo of Grady online, and it got a lot of attention. “This boy is selling water to go to World Scries Baseball! Go Grady Ferranti! Comer of Spencer and Underwood ...” the post read. Many in Grady’s community saw the post and drove over to the street comer, and bought everything that he had to sell. Many encouraged him. “You are doing a really good job. You are going places,” one customer told him. A teacher of Grady’s also showed up to support his student.

Passage 3 （24-25 高一上・湖北・期末） In the small town of Elmsworth, life usually followed the changing of seasons and familiar faces that could be seen around. However, when a powerful tornado swept through the town, it destroyed many things in its path, including the Anderson family’s home. The Andersons, known for their friendly and welcoming nature, suddenly found themselves in a difficult situation. The news of their trouble spread quickly among the people of Elmsworth. A group of neighbours, led by the town’s elders, wasted no time jumping into action to offer support to the Andersons.

The local store offered a discount on the necessary supplies, and nearby people provided food and shelter for the Andersons during the rebuilding process. The high school’s sports teams, known for their competitive spirit, took a break from their training to contribute their strength and energy to the rebuilding efforts.

Most of my friends and family thought I was crazy, but only I knew why. Two years ago, I accidentally fell down a 12-meter waterfall and broke my pelvis (盆骨). I went from using a wheelchair to using walking sticks, then to trying to walk a block, and finally walking miles. Physical activity became even more important in my life. So why not make it enjoyable? I've wanted to learn to skateboard since I was a kid, but most of my time and energy went into dancing. In my opinion, skating was actually very similar to dancing. For a long time, I tried to learn skating on my own. I had no idea what I was doing and always felt mortified when many strangers saw me skating or simply trying to keep my balance. That fear of being judged often stopped me from just getting out there for practice. One day, my friend Monica and I met some of the members of GRLSWIRL, a skateboarding club. They were so friendly that we wanted to be part of it. This club was amazing. Even though everyone there was better than me, they were happy to help and excited to see me overcome challenges. There, I gradually became more confident. For me, a big part of skating was overcoming my PTSD (创伤后应激障碍). Falling is a huge part of skating, but because of that accident, it was really hard for me to overcome it. However, the more I learned from every little fall — allowing my body to understand that it was OK, and that I could drop and get up again — the less my PTSD took over. The more I skated, the better my body and mind felt. Although I started skating for therapy (治疗), I never imagined it would open up a new world of excitement and possibilities for me. 1．What does the underlined word “mortified” in paragraph 2 mean? A．Bored. B．Shocked. C．Embarrassed. D．Angry. 2．When did the author become confident? A．After she joined the club. B．After she got good at skateboarding. C．After she made friends with Monica. D．After she achieved good results in the game. 3．Why was the author afraid of falling? A．Her doctor had warned her not to fall. B．Falling would be laughed at by others. C．She didn't want to hurt her leg again. D．The past experience left her with bad feelings. 4．What did the author think of skateboarding? A．It would be her life work. B．It was a light on her road of life. C．It was something she had to do. D．It was the reason for her to get her life back. Passage 2 （24-25 高一上・北京昌平・期末）I’ve always loved cats. But until nine years ago, my pet cats had a high number of deaths. I decided that my next cat was going to live indoors only. But then came Oliver. He was left at a vet’s office. My sister worked there, and the workers were having trouble finding him a home. The workers found him ordinary. They only kept him because he was a willing blood donor (捐献者). It broke my sister’s heart to see the little cat offer his arm for the needle (针). So, she called me to come and see him. When I met Oliver, I fell in love immediately. He had soft black fur (毛皮) with a white undercoat, a round face, and golden eyes. I named him Oliver and brought him home. But Oliver wasn’t an indoors-only cat. He cried at the door and tried to get out. After much discussion, my family and I built a 30-by-15-foot outdoor cat run with walls, grass and toys. Oliver loved it - lying in the grass, enjoying the sun, and watching birds. But that was not the end of it! The cat run overlooked an empty lot, inspiring the idea for a wildlife garden. So, I read books and magazines, visited child-care centres and went on garden tours to educate myself. I was not sure if I had the skills or knowledge to do it right, but I reasoned, no one would ever see the garden but us. With my dad, a retired worker, and the rest of my family, we cleared the land, planted thousands of trees, bushes, and flowers, and added roads, a pool, and garden decorations - much of it cat-themed. Everything was perfect! Our “Meyer Cat Garden” soon attracted birds, squirrels, frogs, and even deer. A friend suggested it for Spokane’s garden tour, and 5,000 visitors came. People loved its emotion and creativity. Media coverage followed, and since then, over 10,000 people have toured the garden, from nursing home members to national garden groups. The project changed my life. Working together brought my family closer. What matters most, I became an experienced gardener, head of our garden club, and confident in public speaking. Oliver, our inspiration, watches the garden from his cat run, satisfied and safe. We joke that with the cost of plants, decorations, and countless hours of labor, we’ve spent over $100,000 - earning Oliver the title of our “$100,000 homeless cat.” 5．The writer brought Oliver home because she ______. A．needed a pet blood donor B．wanted to help her sister C．felt sorry for her last cats D．loved him at the first sight 6．The writer decided to build an outdoor cat run to ______.

Passage 3 （24-25 高一上・河南周口・期末） Being a singer in her school music group as a teenager, Bogan used to love singing along with songs by her favorite musicians. Unfortunately, the doctors found there was a tumor (肿瘤) in her head. Bogan was told that an operation (手术) could be a method, but it could have some side effects. Last August, doctors gave her an operation to remove the tumor. The operation was a success. But after the doctors removed the equipment, a bad thing happened — Bogan had trouble speaking. Since then, Bogan has been working with experts to change the situation, but there is no sign that she will ever be able to speak like she used to. Last month, Bogan got her voice back in a way. Experts created a tool — Voice Engine — for her using AI. She uses a text-to-voice app on her phone so she can now do things like ordering her favorite coffee at Starbucks. She uses it by writing words in her phone and holding it up at the coffee shop so servers can hear her. The app uses OpenAI’s voice tool. Programmers trained the app using a 15-second sound recording from a cooking video Bogan made as a teenager. Most of the video had cooking sounds, but that was all they could use. And it was enough. The app makes mistakes, but people who know Bogan do not seem worried. They are just happy to hear her voice. As for Bogan herself, she said it helped make her as confident as she was before all this happened, which meant a lot to her. She uses the app about 40 times per day, and she believes the technology will progress over time so that when she is older, she does not have to depend on the voice she had as a teenager. Jeff Harris is OpenAI’s project leader for Voice Engine. He said although the company is very limited in who they are giving the technology to, because they want to be sure everyone whose voice is being used has given permission (许可), this is only a short-term measure. In the near future, it will see more and more users. 9．What caused Bogan the trouble in speaking? A．Overusing her voice. B．Failure to remove the tumor. C．The doctors’ carelessness. D．Side effects of an operation. 10．How did Bogan partly get her voice back? A．By receiving another operation. B．By using a special AI tool. C．By working with experts. D．By keeping practicing speaking continuously. 11．What is the most important about the app to Bogan? A．It makes few mistakes. B．It improves her confidence. C．It exactly copies her voice. D．It can be used unlimited times per day. 12．What is Jeff Harris’s attitude towards the future of Voice Engine? A．Hopeful. B．Doubtful. C．Mixed. D．Uncaring. 主题01 人与社会——文化传承与社会服务 Passage 1 （24-25 高一上・广东清远・期末） Born to a literary family in Beijing in 1924, Ye Jiaying lived and taught Chinese in China until she held teaching posts in US and Canadian universities.

He first got to know his interest in technology when he was gifted a drone (无人机) in the fourth-grade which excited his curiosity about how machines worked. He soon began learning computer science and created his first video game at 14. But Uday’s head was never just buried in technology. He was also deeply aware of the needs of others. For example, he developed a successful e-tutoring platform called FindOurTutor to provide learning help to students. “I’ve always liked the idea of building something from the ground up and using technology to make things that solve real-world problems,” he says. Later, Uday, then 16, visited Bichpuri village in UP, where he discovered a serious problem the villagers faced — six-to-eight-hour-long power failures. He learned that while most of India’s villages have been equipped with electricity, reliable supply remains a problem. Many villages face regular power outages that could last up to 10 to 12 hours a day. Determined to find a fix, Uday spent the next six months learning from the Internet, collecting second-hand parts and experimenting in his workshop in order to invent a low-cost lightbulb(灯泡) that would offer uninterrupted lighting when regular power supply falters. After 24 attempts, he succeeded in making the Smart bulb. It costs $2.9, about half that of other available options. What’s more, its brightness can be changed by the same button used to turn it on Since its launch in May 2022, the Smart bulbs have found their way to 10,000 homes in India. This invention earned Uday many awards, including the 2023 Diana Legacy Award, awarded to young talents for outstanding work. “In the long term, my goal is to provide energy at a lower cost for every home,” says Uday. 8．What helped Uday discover his interest in technology? A．A present he received. B．A video game he created. C．A machine he played with. D．A computer he was gifted. 9．Why does the author mention FindOurTutor in Paragraph 2?

We walked past mud homes and villagers working on their crops. This was life in a small village in Sindh, Pakistan. Months flew by as I watched over the buffalo daily until Uncle visited. “Brother, you must send Rasool Bux to school. Herding buffalo is not in his future,” Uncle said. My father was persuaded finally. The following week, I started primary school. By the end of the year, I was among the top students in the school and determined to study at a university in Karachi, a big city over 150 kilometers away. “Look at this guy! He will go to study in Karachi?” My classmates laughed and made jokes. The challenges life set before me didn’t weaken my determination. I turned to writing as a way out. I got published and won competitions, gaining recognition and confidence to keep moving forward. I began college studies when I was hit with another roadblock. My father couldn’t afford my further education. I decided to find a part-time job. My handwriting was good, and I had developed a passion for calligraphy, so I tried my luck with a leading daily newspaper. One fine day, I took a bus to Hyderabad alone, a city that lay fifty kilometers from my village. Guided by kind strangers, I presented my calligraphy skills at the newspaper’s counter and was offered an internship (实习) with pay. This was one of the happiest days of my life. Within a year, under the guidance of senior calligraphers, my skills improved, along with a good salary. Many instructors helped me realize my dreams, leading to an editorial position, advertising work, and the most wonderful milestone of all, an MBA in marketing and advertising from a Karachi university. Now, when I reflect on the laughter and doubtful glances of the village students, their opinions hold no weight. What truly matters is that I followed the dreams and struggled for them. Just as I guided the buffalo with my stick, I went through challenges and hardships, guiding my life’s course. 9．What is the purpose of the first paragraph? A．To present the author’s dream. B．To show the author’s daily life. C．To describe the author’s village. D．To introduce the author’s background. 10．Who played a key role in the author’s childhood? A．His father. B．His uncle. C．His classmates. D．His brother. 11．Why does the author mention the internship experience in Hyderabad? A．To tell his professional growth. B．To show off his calligraphy skills.

C．Two heads are better than one. D．One cannot be in two places at once. 主题03 人与自然——生物多样性与太空探索 Passage 1 （23-24高一上·重庆长寿·期末） Last weekend, a group of students from our school joined in an environmental protection volunteer activity.

I decided that my next cat was going to live indoors only. But then came Oliver. He was left at a vet’s office. My sister worked there, and the workers were having trouble finding him a home. The workers found him ordinary. They only kept him because he was a willing blood donor (捐献者). It broke my sister’s heart to see the little cat offer his arm for the needle (针). So, she called me to come and see him. When I met Oliver, I fell in love immediately. He had soft black fur (毛皮) with a white undercoat, a round face, and golden eyes. I named him Oliver and brought him home. But Oliver wasn’t an indoors-only cat. He cried at the door and tried to get out. After much discussion, my family and I built a 30-by-15-foot outdoor cat run with walls, grass and toys. Oliver loved it - lying in the grass, enjoying the sun, and watching birds. But that was not the end of it! The cat run overlooked an empty lot, inspiring the idea for a wildlife garden. So, I read books and magazines, visited child-care centres and went on garden tours to educate myself. I was not sure if I had the skills or knowledge to do it right, but I reasoned, no one would ever see the garden but us. With my dad, a retired worker, and the rest of my family, we cleared the land, planted thousands of trees, bushes, and flowers, and added roads, a pool, and garden decorations - much of it cat-themed. Everything was perfect! Our “Meyer Cat Garden” soon attracted birds, squirrels, frogs, and even deer. A friend suggested it for Spokane’s garden tour, and 5,000 visitors came. People loved its emotion and creativity. Media coverage followed, and since then, over 10,000 people have toured the garden, from nursing home members to national garden groups. The project changed my life. Working together brought my family closer. What matters most, I became an experienced gardener, head of our garden club, and confident in public speaking. Oliver, our inspiration, watches the garden from his cat run, satisfied and safe. We joke that with the cost of plants, decorations, and countless hours of labor, we’ve spent over $100,000 - earning Oliver the title of our “$100,000 homeless cat.” 6．The writer brought Oliver home because she ______. A．needed a pet blood donor B．wanted to help her sister C．felt sorry for her last cats D．loved him at the first sight 7．The writer decided to build an outdoor cat run to ______. A．meet Oliver’s need B．attract more wildlife C．start a garden project D．learn gardening skills 8．According to the passage, the “Meyer Cat Garden” ______. A．brought inspiration to the writer B．helped with the writer’s growth C．attracted more cats to the family D．was built by the writer effortlessly 9．Which words can best describe the writer? A．Strict and serious. B．Brave and focused. C．Gentle and outgoing. D．Creative and caring. Passage 3 （24-25高一上·江西抚州·期末） In 1998, at the age of 22, biologist Ximena Velez-Liendo came face-to-face with South America’s Andean bears on her first day of field research in Bolivia. Her life changed forever when she turned around to see “this beautiful, amazing bear coming out of the forest.” Andean bears are easily recognized by the ring of pale fur (毛皮) that often encircles one or both eyes. Bolivia is home to about 3,000 adult bears, or about one-third of the world’s total Andean bears. The species suffers mainly from habitat loss and conflicts with humans, who sometimes kill the bears when bears destroy crops or hunt livestock (牲畜). Local villagers showed her bear skins hanging in their living rooms, describing how bears were a threat to them. When another community in Tarija showed her some brand-new bee boxes that people didn’t know how to use, she had an idea: Could selling honey help save bears? Training farmers as beekeepers was increasing in other parts of Bolivia as an eco-friendly way to provide income for rural (乡村的) landowners who might otherwise turn to clearing more forest. Velez-Liendo asked Patricia Sanchez, an economist who had experience teaching beekeeping in Bolivia’s highlands, to join the Andean Carnivore Conservation Program in 2017. The program trains locals how to care for hives (蜂箱), get honey and sell it. It also supports other types of nature-friendly agricultural practices, like fencing (围住) livestock and cutting off branches of fruit trees so they don’t attract bears. In exchange, community members agree to protect the forest and not harm Andean bears. “If people don’t see the value of protecting an animal, protecting an ecosystem, then they’re not going to do it,” Velez-Liendo says. Today, more than 60 Andean bears move around through Tarija’s forests, a remarkable increase over the five bears documented in 2017. Her goal is to copy Tarija’s model in the Chuquisaca and Cochabamba regions to the north. Attracting more rural communities to join in can provide “stepping stones” of habitat to connect isolated bear populations, she says. 10．What do we know about Andean bears? A．They have grey fur around the eyes. B．Most of them live mainly in Bolivia. C．They are listed as an endangered species. D．They don’t get along well with humans. 11．Why might rural landowners clear more forests? A．To earn much income. B．To get more space. C．To plant more crops. D．To keep enough bees. 12．Which of the following shows the influence of the program? A．Worrying. B．Fruitless. C．Unclear. D．Effective. 13．What does Velez-Liendo plan to do next? A．Increase locals’ income. B．Set up protection areas. C．Attract more people to join in. D．Develop economy. / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 专题04 阅读理解 （记叙文） 主题01 人与自然——环境保护与生态平衡 Passage 1 （24-25 高一上・湖南衡阳・期末） My family joined an environmental protection club named Green Future — a club to remind people to protect the earth. So our family held an activity “Bottle of Rubbish Task”. That means the rubbish needs to be put in a 600 ml bottle. We decided to test our ability and produce as little rubbish as possible. My father worked online all day, so he didn’t produce any paper waste except paper napkins.He made the least rubbish in our family. My mother cooked and produced plenty of kitchen waste, such as vegetable leaves, eggshells and food bags. What’s worse, we couldn’t eat up all the food of the dinner that day. So leftovers couldn’t be avoided. It was not easy for mom to deal with all the rubbish, but she found a way to put it all into the bottle. How amazing! My sister, a 16-year-old student, was busy preparing for her exams. She had to use paper to work out math or physics problems. She used only one side of the paper in the past. But from then on, she tried to use both sides of the paper because she realized we were challenging ourselves.She did a good job! I was different from my sister. I love snacks and drinks. So my rubbish was almost from them. I was highly alert (警觉的) that I must produce less waste. I had fewer snacks or drinks. It was too difficult, but I did it! I’ve learnt a lot from this activity. I realize that everyone can produce less rubbish. We should start with small actions to protect the earth! 1．What activity did the writer’s family hold when they joined the club? A．A competition. B．A trip. C．A picnic. D．A party. 2．What does the word “leftovers” mean in the third paragraph? A．Dishes that are cooked by mother. B．Waste that is produced in the kitchen. C．Food that hasn’t been eaten up at the end of a meal. D．Food bags that are used to put the vegetable leaves. 3．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A．The writer’s mother can deal with the rubbish easily. B．The writer stopped eating snacks. C．The writer’s sister used only one side of the paper now. D．The writer might become healthier after the activity. 4．Which can be the slogan (口号) of the activity? A．No pain, no gain. B．Never too old to learn. C．Small actions make a big difference. D．He who does not reach the Great Wall is not a true man. 【答案】1．A 2．C 3．D 4．C 【导语】这是一篇记叙文，作者讲述了自己一家加入名为 “绿色未来” 的环保俱乐部后，开展了 “垃圾瓶任务”活动，即把垃圾装在一个 600 毫升的瓶子里，尽量减少垃圾产生。文中分别介绍了父亲、母亲、妹妹和自己在活动中的表现以及从中的收获，强调了每个人都可以通过小行动来保护地球。 1．推理判断题。根据第一段中“So our family held an activity “Bottle of Rubbish Task”. That means the rubbish needs to be put in a 600 ml bottle. We decided to test our ability and produce as little rubbish as possible.(所以我们家举办了一个活动“垃圾瓶任务”。这意味着垃圾需要装在一个600毫升的瓶子里。我们决定测试一下我们的能力，尽量少制造垃圾。)”可知，作者一家举行的“垃圾瓶任务”活动是为了测试自己的能力，尽量少产生垃圾，这类似于一种竞赛性质的活动。故选A项。 2．词句猜测题。根据第三段中“What’s worse, we couldn’t eat up all the food of the dinner that day.(更糟糕的是，那天我们吃不完晚餐上所有的食物。)”由此可知，剩菜是无法避免的。故可猜测划线单词leftovers为“剩菜”的意思，和C选项Food that hasn’t been eaten up at the end of a meal.“饭后没吃完的食物”意思相近。故选C项。 3．细节理解题。根据最后一段中“I love snacks and drinks. So my rubbish was almost from them. I was highly alert (警觉的) that I must produce less waste. I had fewer snacks or drinks. It was too difficult, but I did it!(我喜欢零食和饮料。所以我的垃圾几乎都来自它们。我高度警惕，必须减少废物的产生。我很少吃零食或饮料。太难了，但我做到了！)”可知，作者为了减少垃圾产生，减少了吃零食和喝饮料的量。从健康角度来说，少吃零食和饮料可能会让作者变得更健康，所以D选项“The writer might become healthier after the activity.”（作者在活动后可能会变得更健康）正确，ABC选项均与原文实意不符。故选D项。 4．推理判断题。通读全文可知，文章主要讲述了作者一家通过 “垃圾瓶任务”这样的小行动来减少垃圾产生，进而保护环境，强调了每个人都可以从身边的小行动做起，为保护地球做出贡献。C 选项“Small actions make a big difference.”（小行动会产生大影响），符合文章中通过小行动来保护环境的主旨，可以作为活动的口号。故选C项。 Passage 2 （24-25 高一上・云南西双版纳・期末）When it comes to clever dogs, it’s hard to imagine a faster, sharper or braver dog than Bear. This little wonder has made himself quite famous for his special ability to smell out injured and homeless koalas (考拉) in places that just went through forest fires. What he wasn’t expecting was becoming an international superstar, attracting thousands of followers on social media (媒体) and even catching the attention of Hollywood stars Tom Hanks and Leonardo DiCaprio! “We had special fireproof (防火的) shoes made for him to protect his feet from being hurt,” explains proud owner and wildlife campaigner Tyson Mayr, 34, who teamed up with Bear after looking for a way to help animals influenced by the forest fires. “Bear’s so strong, but the moment he gets up close and personal with a little one he’s saved, he gets quite sad.” Tyson reached out to the International Fund for Animal Welfare, which directed him to the Detection Dogs for Conservation program at the University of the Sunshine Coast in Queensland, where Bear was in training. “I’ll never forget meeting Bear for the first time there, looking into those beautiful blue eyes. Even today I tear up because he is the real deal,” says Tyson, adding that Bear was forced to leave his first owners because of his obsessive-compulsive disorder (强迫症). “Firsthand, I quickly saw just how much of an influence he was having. He runs for 10 km without even a drink stop, and can save up to 50 koalas in a day.” “The koalas know he’s out there to save them,” adds Tyson. “I think they’d agree with the rest of us that dogs really do make life so much better!” 5．What is Bear good at? A．Playing with koalas. B．Putting out forest fires. C．Looking for injured koalas. D．Smelling out his followers. 6．What do we know about Tom Hanks and Leonardo DiCaprio? A．They are Tyson’s good friends. B．They have an influence on Bear. C．They are interested in Bear’s stories. D．They are famous Hollywood directors. 7．Where did Tyson first meet Bear? A．In the forest. B．In a university. C．On social media. D．In a Hollywood movie. 8．What may koalas agree with according to Tyson? A．Dogs make a difference in our life. B．Dogs can make friends very easily. C．Dogs usually don't drink much. D．Dogs are good to their owners. 【答案】5．C 6．C 7．B 8．A 【导语】这是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了一只名为 Bear的小狗，它具有特殊的能力，能够嗅出在森林火灾中受伤和无家可归的考拉，它因此成名并吸引了众多关注，文章还介绍了它的主人Tyson与它的相遇以及它的一些特点。 5．细节理解题。根据文章第二段“This little wonder has made himself quite famous for his special ability to smell out injured and homeless koalas (考拉) in places that just went through forest fires.(这只小奇才以它特殊的能力闻名，它能嗅出在刚经历过森林火灾的地方受伤和无家可归的考拉。)”可知，Bear善于寻找受伤的考拉。故选C项。 6．推理判断题。根据文章第二段“What he wasn’t expecting was becoming an international superstar, attracting thousands of followers on social media (媒体) and even catching the attention of Hollywood stars Tom Hanks and Leonardo DiCaprio!(他没有预料到的是成为国际巨星，吸引了成千上万的社交媒体关注者，甚至引起了好莱坞明星Tom Hanks和Leonardo DiCaprio的注意!)”可知，他没有预料到引起了好莱坞明星Tom Hanks和Leonardo DiCaprio的注意，可以推断Tom Hanks和Leonardo DiCaprio对Bear的故事感兴趣。故选C项。 7．细节理解题。根据文章倒数第四段“Tyson reached out to the International Fund for Animal Welfare, which directed him to the Detection Dogs for Conservation program at the University of the Sunshine Coast in Queensland, where Bear was in training.(Tyson联系了国际动物福利基金，该基金指引他前往昆士兰州阳光海岸大学的检测犬保护项目，Bear就是在那里接受训练的)”可知，Tyson在国际动物福利基金的帮助下，在昆士兰州阳光海岸大学见到了Bear，所以Tyson第一次见到Bear是在一所大学里。故选B项。 8．推理判断题。根据文章最后一段““The koalas know he’s out there to save them,” adds Tyson. “I think they’d agree with the rest of us that dogs really do make life so much better!”(考拉知道Bear在外面是为了救它们，”Tyson补充说，“我认为它们会同意我们其他人的看法，那就是狗真的能让生活变得更好！”)”可知，Tyson认为考拉可能会同意狗在我们的生活中确实有所不同，带来了积极的影响。故选A项。 Passage 3 （23-24高一上·辽宁丹东·期末） Anna, a retired teacher, was walking her dogs when she found yellow marks stuck on some of the 99 oak trees in a lane close to her home. The marks indicated trees were bound to be felled (砍伐). Anna loved that ancient line of oaks. She felt upset when remembering the moment she realized the oaks would be cut down. “My family and I would picnic under them, climb them, have rope swings on them. The trees are beautiful and mean so much.” she says. The trees were to be cut down as part of the new high-speed railway works. She called the railway helpline and was told there was nothing that could be done. Anna had spent her career as a teacher telling children that “If something is wrong, you can’t stand by and let it happen. You have to speak up for people who can’t speak for themselves.” She thought, “Who is speaking for the trees?” So she began to save the trees with her daughter’s help. She started a petition (请愿书) which collected nearly 43,000 signatures. She also started a campaign, urging local people to sound their horns when driving down the road if they wanted the oaks to stay. “You could hear people honking all the way down the lane,” she says. “It was amazing.” Anna made contact with a nonprofit. “We discovered seven species of bats were using the trees as a commuting corridor,” she says. So the felling stopped. “There are 87 trees still standing because of the campaign,” says Anna proudly. “But 20 to 30 trees still remain under threat. We want a green crossing in the gaps between trees for the bats, and we’d like the place to become a conservation area.” For Anna, campaigning for the trees has been life-changing. “If you’d said that I’d be where I am now 16 months ago, I wouldn’t have believed you. I’m called ‘Bat Woman’ by my campaign colleagues now. For the trees and the bats - this is what I am and will be fighting for!” she says. 9．Why was Anna depressed when knowing the trees would be cut down? A．She needed to find a new place to walk her dog. B．Many of her sweet memories were related to them. C．The railway helpline didn’t give useful reply to her. D．The building of high-speed railway would bother her. 10．What inspired Anna to save the trees? A．The timely help from her daughter. B．The support from local people. C．Her educational belief as a teacher. D．Her eagerness for being famous. 11．What is Paragraph 4 mainly about? A．The bats Anna had saved. B．The importance of the oak trees. C．The danger the trees may face. D．The good results of Anna’s efforts. 12．What can we infer from Anna’s words? A．She likes the name “Bat Woman” very much. B．She has been what was expected 16 years ago. C．She will continue to protect the trees and the bats. D．She thinks the praise from colleagues is important. 【答案】9．B 10．C 11．D 12．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了退休教师Anna为保护家附近的橡树发起请愿和运动的故事。尽管这些树木因高铁工程面临被砍伐的威胁，Anna联合非营利组织发现蝙蝠利用树木作为迁徙通道，最终成功挽救大部分树木，并决心继续为保护自然生态而奋斗。 9．细节理解题。根据第二段“Anna loved that ancient line of oaks. She felt upset when remembering the moment she realized the oaks would be cut down. “My family and I would picnic under them, climb them, have rope swings on them. The trees are beautiful and mean so much.” she says. (安娜很喜欢那排古老的橡树。当她意识到这些橡树将被砍倒时，她感到很不安。“我和家人会在这些树下野餐、攀爬，在树上荡秋千。这些树很美，对我们意义非凡。”她说。）”可知，Anna的沮丧源于这些树承载了她与家人的美好回忆。故选B项。 10．细节理解题。根据第三段“Anna had spent her career as a teacher telling children that “If something is wrong, you can’t stand by and let it happen. You have to speak up for people who can’t speak for themselves.” She thought, “Who is speaking for the trees?” So she began to save the trees with her daughter’s help. (安娜在她的教师生涯中一直告诉孩子们：“如果事情不对，你不能袖手旁观。你必须为那些不能为自己发声的人说话。”她想：“谁来为这些树发声？”于是，她开始和女儿一起努力拯救这些树。)”可知，是她的教育理念促使她采取行动拯救树木。故选C项。 11．主旨大意题。根据第四段“Anna made contact with a nonprofit. “We discovered seven species of bats were using the trees as a commuting corridor,” she says. So the felling stopped. “There are 87 trees still standing because of the campaign,” says Anna proudly. “But 20 to 30 trees still remain under threat. We want a green crossing in the gaps between trees for the bats, and we’d like the place to become a conservation area.” (安娜与一家非营利组织取得了联系。“我们发现七种蝙蝠把这些树作为它们的通勤通道，”她说。因此，树木砍伐停止了。“由于这次活动，仍有87棵树屹立不倒，”安娜自豪地说。“但仍有20到30棵树面临威胁。我们希望在树间的空隙处为蝙蝠建造绿色通道，我们也希望这个地方能成为保护区。)”可知，第四段提Anna联系非营利组织后发现蝙蝠以树木为迁徙通道，砍伐因此停止，87棵树得以保留，并提到剩余树木的威胁和保护目标。可推理出全段重点讲的是Anna的努力取得的积极成果。故选D项。 12．推理判断题。根据最后一段Anna的话“For the trees and the bats - this is what I am and will be fighting for! (为这些树和蝙蝠而战，这就是我过去和未来的使命！)”可知Anna要为这些树和蝙蝠而战并认为这就是她过去和未来的使命，可推断，她将持续投入保护工作。故选C项。 主题02 人与社会——人际交往与社会互助 Passage 1 （24-25 高一上・河南许昌・期末）Growing up, I realized I wasn't as talkative as others within large groups of people. Parties were a mixed experience for me — I really wanted to be part of them, but usually spent the night waiting for it to end. I saw others getting everyone’s attention. I felt less confident. They say confidence comes with time. But eight years into my HR (human resources) career (职业), I still found myself staying out of the limelight (公众注意的中心). And then a colleague asked me if I was an introvert (内向的人). “No...?” I replied. I thought introverts were strange, and they didn’t even like people. That was certainly not me. I’d always liked people; I found them fascinating. When I was with my closest friends, I was quite talkative. Then he explained to me that introverts don’t know what to do when they’re around other people and need alone time to recharge. Extroverts are the opposite. And that was it. Hearing the two simple statements, I felt like over three decades of shame had been lifted off my shoulders. I learned to accept my introverted nature and focused on what I enjoyed. As I began to connect with people one-on-one, I found it very meaningful. This encouraged me to explore how I could use my introversion to help others. Finally, I started an online business called Career Off Script, where I focus on helping young professionals who are feeling lost and unhappy. I work with them one-on-one to discover their unique superpowers, strengths. So they, too, can appreciate their uniqueness and find their own success. 1．What is paragraph 1 mainly about?

Their team would be travelling to Dallas and to College Station to compete. However, Grady’s family was too poor to send him. But the tournaments were an experience the young man didn’t want to miss out on. “It was hard for me to stay in sports,” Grady said. “It made me feel kind of sad, but I didn’t lose hope.” The 13-year-old and his father discussed ways that he could raise some money to attend. Then they decided to make tamales, a kind of local snack Grady brought them and a big cooler of iced waters to the crossing of Spencer and Underwood with a sign which read: “Water S1.00 a Bottle for World Series Baseball.” A teammate’s mother heard about what Grady was doing and stopped by to bring him a few extra boxes of water. A person who passed by noticed the teen selling waters and tamales to play baseball. He shared a photo of Grady online, and it got a lot of attention. “This boy is selling water to go to World Scries Baseball! Go Grady Ferranti! Comer of Spencer and Underwood ...” the post read. Many in Grady’s community saw the post and drove over to the street comer, and bought everything that he had to sell. Many encouraged him. “You are doing a really good job. You are going places,” one customer told him. A teacher of Grady’s also showed up to support his student. Grady ended up raising enough money to enter the baseball tournaments with his teammates, and had some extra money to get some new pieces of baseball gear (装备).

However, when a powerful tornado swept through the town, it destroyed many things in its path, including the Anderson family’s home. The Andersons, known for their friendly and welcoming nature, suddenly found themselves in a difficult situation. The news of their trouble spread quickly among the people of Elmsworth. A group of neighbours, led by the town’s elders, wasted no time jumping into action to offer support to the Andersons. Volunteers from all walks of life gathered at the site of the ruined home, armed with tools, materials, and a determination to rebuild not just a house, but a sense of safety and warmth. The local store offered a discount on the necessary supplies, and nearby people provided food and shelter for the Andersons during the rebuilding process.

Most of my friends and family thought I was crazy, but only I knew why. Two years ago, I accidentally fell down a 12-meter waterfall and broke my pelvis (盆骨). I went from using a wheelchair to using walking sticks, then to trying to walk a block, and finally walking miles. Physical activity became even more important in my life. So why not make it enjoyable? I've wanted to learn to skateboard since I was a kid, but most of my time and energy went into dancing. In my opinion, skating was actually very similar to dancing. For a long time, I tried to learn skating on my own. I had no idea what I was doing and always felt mortified when many strangers saw me skating or simply trying to keep my balance. That fear of being judged often stopped me from just getting out there for practice. One day, my friend Monica and I met some of the members of GRLSWIRL, a skateboarding club. They were so friendly that we wanted to be part of it. This club was amazing. Even though everyone there was better than me, they were happy to help and excited to see me overcome challenges. There, I gradually became more confident. For me, a big part of skating was overcoming my PTSD (创伤后应激障碍). Falling is a huge part of skating, but because of that accident, it was really hard for me to overcome it. However, the more I learned from every little fall — allowing my body to understand that it was OK, and that I could drop and get up again — the less my PTSD took over. The more I skated, the better my body and mind felt. Although I started skating for therapy (治疗), I never imagined it would open up a new world of excitement and possibilities for me. 1．What does the underlined word “mortified” in paragraph 2 mean? A．Bored. B．Shocked. C．Embarrassed. D．Angry. 2．When did the author become confident? A．After she joined the club. B．After she got good at skateboarding. C．After she made friends with Monica. D．After she achieved good results in the game. 3．Why was the author afraid of falling? A．Her doctor had warned her not to fall. B．Falling would be laughed at by others. C．She didn't want to hurt her leg again. D．The past experience left her with bad feelings. 4．What did the author think of skateboarding? A．It would be her life work. B．It was a light on her road of life. C．It was something she had to do. D．It was the reason for her to get her life back. 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．D 4．B 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。本文主要讲述了作者为了治疗，开始学习滑板，并在此过程中逐渐找回自信、克服困难的故事。 1．词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“when many strangers saw me skating or simply trying to keep my balance(当许多陌生人看到我在滑冰或只是试图保持平衡时)”以及“That fear of being judged often stopped me from just getting out there for practice.(害怕被人评头论足常常让我不敢出去练习)”可知，作者害怕被别人评判，所以当很多陌生人看到她滑冰或只是试图保持平衡时，她应是感到尴尬的。故划线词意思是“尴尬的”。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据第三段“One day, my friend Monica and I met some of the members of GRLSWIRL, a skateboarding club.

But until nine years ago, my pet cats had a high number of deaths. I decided that my next cat was going to live indoors only. But then came Oliver. He was left at a vet’s office. My sister worked there, and the workers were having trouble finding him a home. The workers found him ordinary. They only kept him because he was a willing blood donor (捐献者). It broke my sister’s heart to see the little cat offer his arm for the needle (针). So, she called me to come and see him. When I met Oliver, I fell in love immediately. He had soft black fur (毛皮) with a white undercoat, a round face, and golden eyes. I named him Oliver and brought him home. But Oliver wasn’t an indoors-only cat. He cried at the door and tried to get out. After much discussion, my family and I built a 30-by-15-foot outdoor cat run with walls, grass and toys. Oliver loved it - lying in the grass, enjoying the sun, and watching birds. But that was not the end of it! The cat run overlooked an empty lot, inspiring the idea for a wildlife garden. So, I read books and magazines, visited child-care centres and went on garden tours to educate myself. I was not sure if I had the skills or knowledge to do it right, but I reasoned, no one would ever see the garden but us. With my dad, a retired worker, and the rest of my family, we cleared the land, planted thousands of trees, bushes, and flowers, and added roads, a pool, and garden decorations - much of it cat-themed. Everything was perfect! Our “Meyer Cat Garden” soon attracted birds, squirrels, frogs, and even deer. A friend suggested it for Spokane’s garden tour, and 5,000 visitors came. People loved its emotion and creativity. Media coverage followed, and since then, over 10,000 people have toured the garden, from nursing home members to national garden groups. The project changed my life. Working together brought my family closer. What matters most, I became an experienced gardener, head of our garden club, and confident in public speaking. Oliver, our inspiration, watches the garden from his cat run, satisfied and safe. We joke that with the cost of plants, decorations, and countless hours of labor, we’ve spent over $100,000 - earning Oliver the title of our “$100,000 homeless cat.” 5．The writer brought Oliver home because she ______. A．needed a pet blood donor B．wanted to help her sister C．felt sorry for her last cats D．loved him at the first sight 6．The writer decided to build an outdoor cat run to ______. A．meet Oliver’s need B．attract more wildlife C．start a garden project D．learn gardening skills 7．According to the passage, the “Meyer Cat Garden” ______. A．brought inspiration to the writer B．helped with the writer’s growth C．attracted more cats to the family D．was built by the writer effortlessly 8．Which words can best describe the writer? A．Strict and serious. B．Brave and focused. C．Gentle and outgoing. D．Creative and caring. 【答案】5．D 6．A 7．B 8．D 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者因为收养了流浪猫Oliver，受其启发而建造了一个“Meyer Cat Garden”，这个花园不仅改变了作者的生活，还吸引了大量游客，使作者成为了一个有经验的园艺师和演讲者。 5．细节理解题。根据第二段“When I met Oliver, I fell in love immediately. He had soft black fur with a white undercoat, a round face, and golden eyes. I named him Oliver and brought him home. (当我见到Oliver时，我立刻爱上了他。他有柔软的黑色皮毛，下面是白色的绒毛，圆圆的脸，金色的眼睛。我给他起名叫Oliver，并把他带回了家。)”可知，作者第一眼看到Oliver就爱上了他，所以把他带回了家。故选D。 6．推理判断题。根据第二段“But Oliver wasn’t an indoors-only cat. He cried at the door and tried to get out. After much discussion, my family and I built a 30-by-15-foot outdoor cat run with walls, grass and toys. (但Oliver不是一只只待在室内的猫。他在门口哭喊着想出去。经过多次讨论，我和我的家人建了一个30乘15英尺的室外猫跑道，有墙、草地和玩具。)”可知，作者决定建造一个室外猫跑道是为了满足Oliver的需求。故选A。 7．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“The project changed my life. Working together brought my family closer. What matters most, I became an experienced gardener, head of our garden club, and confident in public speaking. (这个项目改变了我的生活。一起工作让我的家人更亲密了。最重要的是，我成为了一名有经验的园艺师，我们花园俱乐部的负责人，并且对公开演讲充满信心。)”可知，“Meyer Cat Garden”帮助了作者成长。故选B。 8．推理判断题。文章讲述了作者收养了一只流浪猫Oliver，并受其启发建造了一个吸引了大量游客的“Meyer Cat Garden”，这表明作者是一个有爱心且有创造力的人。故选D。 Passage 3 （24-25 高一上・河南周口・期末） Being a singer in her school music group as a teenager, Bogan used to love singing along with songs by her favorite musicians. Unfortunately, the doctors found there was a tumor (肿瘤) in her head. Bogan was told that an operation (手术) could be a method, but it could have some side effects. Last August, doctors gave her an operation to remove the tumor. The operation was a success. But after the doctors removed the equipment, a bad thing happened — Bogan had trouble speaking. Since then, Bogan has been working with experts to change the situation, but there is no sign that she will ever be able to speak like she used to. Last month, Bogan got her voice back in a way. Experts created a tool — Voice Engine — for her using AI. She uses a text-to-voice app on her phone so she can now do things like ordering her favorite coffee at Starbucks. She uses it by writing words in her phone and holding it up at the coffee shop so servers can hear her. The app uses OpenAI’s voice tool. Programmers trained the app using a 15-second sound recording from a cooking video Bogan made as a teenager. Most of the video had cooking sounds, but that was all they could use. And it was enough. The app makes mistakes, but people who know Bogan do not seem worried. They are just happy to hear her voice. As for Bogan herself, she said it helped make her as confident as she was before all this happened, which meant a lot to her. She uses the app about 40 times per day, and she believes the technology will progress over time so that when she is older, she does not have to depend on the voice she had as a teenager. Jeff Harris is OpenAI’s project leader for Voice Engine. He said although the company is very limited in who they are giving the technology to, because they want to be sure everyone whose voice is being used has given permission (许可), this is only a short-term measure. In the near future, it will see more and more users. 9．What caused Bogan the trouble in speaking? A．Overusing her voice. B．Failure to remove the tumor. C．The doctors’ carelessness. D．Side effects of an operation. 10．How did Bogan partly get her voice back? A．By receiving another operation. B．By using a special AI tool. C．By working with experts. D．By keeping practicing speaking continuously. 11．What is the most important about the app to Bogan? A．It makes few mistakes. B．It improves her confidence. C．It exactly copies her voice. D．It can be used unlimited times per day. 12．What is Jeff Harris’s attitude towards the future of Voice Engine? A．Hopeful. B．Doubtful. C．Mixed. D．Uncaring. 【答案】9．D 10．B 11．B 12．A 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述Bogan因脑部手术而丧失说话能力，在OpenAI公司一款声音软件的帮助下她在某种意义上恢复了声音。 9．细节理解题。根据第二段“The operation was a success. But after the doctors removed the equipment, a bad thing happened — Bogan had trouble speaking. (手术很成功。但在医生移走设备后，不好的事情发生了——博根说话有困难)”可知，手术的副作用导致Bogan失声。故选D。 10．细节理解题。根据第三段“Last month, Bogan got her voice back in a way. Experts created a tool — Voice Engine — for her using AI. (上个月，博根在某种程度上恢复了她的声音。专家们用人工智能为她创造了一个工具——语音人工智能)”可知，专家们利用人工智能为她制作了一个工具使Bogan在某种程度上恢复了她的声音。故选B。 11．细节理解题。根据第五段“As for Bogan herself, she said it helped make her as confident as she was before all this happened, which meant a lot to her. (至于博根自己，她说这让她像发生这一切之前一样自信，这对她来说意义重大)”可知，Bogan认为这款软件让她的信心恢复到了这一切发生之前的水平。故选B。 12．推理判断题。根据最后一段“He said although the company is very limited in who they are giving the technology to, because they want to be sure everyone whose voice is being used has given permission, this is only a short-term measure. In the near future, it will see more and more users. (他说，尽管该公司在向谁提供这项技术方面非常有限，因为他们想确保每个人的声音都得到了允许，但这只是一个短期措施。在不久的将来，它将看到越来越多的用户)”可知，在Jeff Harris看来，Voice Engine的未来充满希望。故选A。 主题01 人与社会——文化传承与社会服务 Passage 1 （24-25 高一上・广东清远・期末） Born to a literary family in Beijing in 1924, Ye Jiaying lived and taught Chinese in China until she held teaching posts in US and Canadian universities.

He lived with music until his final days,” said the statement, which also quoted Sakamoto’s favorite Latin phrase, “Ars longa, vita brevis (Art is long, life is short)”. Born in Tokyo in 1952, Sakamoto was introduced to the piano as a toddler (学步的幼儿), and he went on to study at Tokyo National University of Fine Arts and Music. He was always drawn to sounds around him. As a high schooler in Tokyo, Sakamoto had to ride a train every morning to attend classes, He amused himself by listening to the sounds the train made. In 1978, he co-founded the pioneering techno-pop group Yellow Magic Orchestra. Less than a decade later, Sakamoto became the first Japanese composer to win the Academy Award for Best Original Score (配乐) for the 1987 movie The Last Emperor, directed by Italian filmmaker Berardo Bertolucci. Before his Oscar glory, he appeared in Japanese director Nagisa Oshima’s 1983 film Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence, alongside British rock legend David Bowie. Sakamoto also composed the Film’s music, which won him a British Academy of Film and Television Arts award. In 1992, Sakamoto composed music for the opening ceremony of the Barcelona Summer Olympics and spent the rest of the decade productively making music.

He first got to know his interest in technology when he was gifted a drone (无人机) in the fourth-grade which excited his curiosity about how machines worked. He soon began learning computer science and created his first video game at 14. But Uday’s head was never just buried in technology. He was also deeply aware of the needs of others. For example, he developed a successful e-tutoring platform called FindOurTutor to provide learning help to students. “I’ve always liked the idea of building something from the ground up and using technology to make things that solve real-world problems,” he says. Later, Uday, then 16, visited Bichpuri village in UP, where he discovered a serious problem the villagers faced — six-to-eight-hour-long power failures. He learned that while most of India’s villages have been equipped with electricity, reliable supply remains a problem. Many villages face regular power outages that could last up to 10 to 12 hours a day. Determined to find a fix, Uday spent the next six months learning from the Internet, collecting second-hand parts and experimenting in his workshop in order to invent a low-cost lightbulb(灯泡) that would offer uninterrupted lighting when regular power supply falters. After 24 attempts, he succeeded in making the Smart bulb. It costs $2.9, about half that of other available options. What’s more, its brightness can be changed by the same button used to turn it on Since its launch in May 2022, the Smart bulbs have found their way to 10,000 homes in India. This invention earned Uday many awards, including the 2023 Diana Legacy Award, awarded to young talents for outstanding work. “In the long term, my goal is to provide energy at a lower cost for every home,” says Uday. 8．What helped Uday discover his interest in technology? A．A present he received. B．A video game he created. C．A machine he played with. D．A computer he was gifted. 9．Why does the author mention FindOurTutor in Paragraph 2? A．To prove Uday’s interest in technology. B．To give an example of Uday’s inventions. C．To show Uday’s concern for others’ needs. D．To recommend an online learning app. 10．How is the Smart bulb different from other bulbs? A．It is brighter. B．It is cheaper. C．It works longer. D．It saves energy. 11．What can be a suitable title for the text? A．Love for technology. B．Power failure in India. C．Changing country life. D．Lighting the way. 【答案】8．A 9．C 10．B 11．A 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了Uday对技术很感兴趣，并且他还用技术来帮助别人，后来他发明了一款智能灯泡，帮助解决照明问题，这让他获得了戴安娜遗产奖。 8．细节理解题。根据第一段中的“He first got to know his interest in technology when he was gifted a drone (无人机) in the fourth-grade which excited his curiosity about how machines worked.(他第一次知道自己对技术的兴趣是在四年级时收到一架无人机，这激发了他对机器工作原理的好奇心。)”可知，他收到的一份礼物让他对技术开始感兴趣。故选A。 9．推理判断题。根据第二段中的“He was also deeply aware of the needs of others. For example, he developed a successful e-tutoring platform called FindOurTutor to provide learning help to students.(他也深切地意识到他人的需求。例如，他开发了一个名为FindOurTutor的成功电子辅导平台，为学生提供学习帮助。)”可推测出，文中提到FindOurTutor是举例说明他关注他人的需求。故选C。 10．细节理解题。根据第五段中的“It costs $2.9, about half that of other available options.(它的价格为2.9美元，大约是其他可用灯泡的一半。)”可知，这款灯泡比其他灯泡便宜。故选B。 11．主旨大意题。通读全文可知，第一段讲述了Uday对技术感兴趣；第二段讲述了他发明了FindOurTutor来帮助学生；第三至最后一段讲述了他发明了智能灯泡。全文讲述了Uday利用对技术的喜爱来发明创造，由此可推测出，A项“对技术的热爱”最适合作本文标题。故选A。 主题02 人与自我——自我成长与自我认知 Passage 1 （24-25高一上·河南许昌·期末） Growing up, I realized I wasn't as talkative as others within large groups of people. Parties were a mixed experience for me — I really wanted to be part of them, but usually spent the night waiting for it to end. I saw others getting everyone’s attention. I felt less confident. They say confidence comes with time. But eight years into my HR (human resources) career (职业), I still found myself staying out of the limelight (公众注意的中心). And then a colleague asked me if I was an introvert (内向的人). “No...?” I replied. I thought introverts were strange, and they didn’t even like people. That was certainly not me. I’d always liked people; I found them fascinating. When I was with my closest friends, I was quite talkative. Then he explained to me that introverts don’t know what to do when they’re around other people and need alone time to recharge. Extroverts are the opposite. And that was it. Hearing the two simple statements, I felt like over three decades of shame had been lifted off my shoulders. I learned to accept my introverted nature and focused on what I enjoyed. As I began to connect with people one-on-one, I found it very meaningful. This encouraged me to explore how I could use my introversion to help others. Finally, I started an online business called Career Off Script, where I focus on helping young professionals who are feeling lost and unhappy. I work with them one-on-one to discover their unique superpowers, strengths. So they, too, can appreciate their uniqueness and find their own success. 1．What is paragraph 1 mainly about? A．The author’s interests. B．The author’s personality. C．The author’s childhood life. D．The author’s social network. 2．Why did the author say to her colleague that she wasn’t an introvert? A．She thought her colleague was laughing at her. B．She didn’t want to admit that she liked people. C．She had become talkative after working for eight years. D．She had misunderstandings of what an introvert is like. 3．What effect did the author’s colleague’s words have on her? A．She looked at herself positively. B．She decided to give up her HR career. C．She developed an interest in people. D．She realized where her weaknesses lay. 4．What does the author mainly help people do by running Career Off Script? A．Become extroverts. B．Make career choices. C．Discover their strengths. D．Establish long friendships. 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．A 4．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者如何接受自己的内向性格并利用它帮助他人。文章通过作者的亲身经历，展现了从对内向性格的误解到接受，并最终利用这一特点创办在线事业帮助他人的过程。 1．主旨大意题。由文章第一段“Growing up, I realized I wasn’t as talkative as others within large groups of people.

I work with them one-on-one to discover their unique superpowers, strengths. So they, too, can appreciate their uniqueness and find their own success.

I guided them along the road, through the heart of the village. We walked past mud homes and villagers working on their crops. This was life in a small village in Sindh, Pakistan. Months flew by as I watched over the buffalo daily until Uncle visited. “Brother, you must send Rasool Bux to school. Herding buffalo is not in his future,” Uncle said. My father was persuaded finally. The following week, I started primary school. By the end of the year, I was among the top students in the school and determined to study at a university in Karachi, a big city over 150 kilometers away. “Look at this guy! He will go to study in Karachi?” My classmates laughed and made jokes. The challenges life set before me didn’t weaken my determination. I turned to writing as a way out. I got published and won competitions, gaining recognition and confidence to keep moving forward. I began college studies when I was hit with another roadblock. My father couldn’t afford my further education. I decided to find a part-time job. My handwriting was good, and I had developed a passion for calligraphy, so I tried my luck with a leading daily newspaper. One fine day, I took a bus to Hyderabad alone, a city that lay fifty kilometers from my village. Guided by kind strangers, I presented my calligraphy skills at the newspaper’s counter and was offered an internship (实习) with pay. This was one of the happiest days of my life. Within a year, under the guidance of senior calligraphers, my skills improved, along with a good salary. Many instructors helped me realize my dreams, leading to an editorial position, advertising work, and the most wonderful milestone of all, an MBA in marketing and advertising from a Karachi university. Now, when I reflect on the laughter and doubtful glances of the village students, their opinions hold no weight. What truly matters is that I followed the dreams and struggled for them.

But until nine years ago, my pet cats had a high number of deaths. I decided that my next cat was going to live indoors only. But then came Oliver. He was left at a vet’s office. My sister worked there, and the workers were having trouble finding him a home. The workers found him ordinary. They only kept him because he was a willing blood donor (捐献者). It broke my sister’s heart to see the little cat offer his arm for the needle (针). So, she called me to come and see him. When I met Oliver, I fell in love immediately. He had soft black fur (毛皮) with a white undercoat, a round face, and golden eyes. I named him Oliver and brought him home. But Oliver wasn’t an indoors-only cat. He cried at the door and tried to get out. After much discussion, my family and I built a 30-by-15-foot outdoor cat run with walls, grass and toys. Oliver loved it - lying in the grass, enjoying the sun, and watching birds. But that was not the end of it! The cat run overlooked an empty lot, inspiring the idea for a wildlife garden. So, I read books and magazines, visited child-care centres and went on garden tours to educate myself. I was not sure if I had the skills or knowledge to do it right, but I reasoned, no one would ever see the garden but us. With my dad, a retired worker, and the rest of my family, we cleared the land, planted thousands of trees, bushes, and flowers, and added roads, a pool, and garden decorations - much of it cat-themed. Everything was perfect! Our “Meyer Cat Garden” soon attracted birds, squirrels, frogs, and even deer. A friend suggested it for Spokane’s garden tour, and 5,000 visitors came. People loved its emotion and creativity. Media coverage followed, and since then, over 10,000 people have toured the garden, from nursing home members to national garden groups. The project changed my life. Working together brought my family closer. What matters most, I became an experienced gardener, head of our garden club, and confident in public speaking. Oliver, our inspiration, watches the garden from his cat run, satisfied and safe. We joke that with the cost of plants, decorations, and countless hours of labor, we’ve spent over $100,000 - earning Oliver the title of our “$100,000 homeless cat.” 6．The writer brought Oliver home because she ______. A．needed a pet blood donor B．wanted to help her sister C．felt sorry for her last cats D．loved him at the first sight 7．The writer decided to build an outdoor cat run to ______.

A．Strict and serious. B．Brave and focused. C．Gentle and outgoing. D．Creative and caring. 【答案】6．D 7．A 8．B 9．D 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者因为收养了流浪猫Oliver，受其启发而建造了一个“Meyer Cat Garden”，这个花园不仅改变了作者的生活，还吸引了大量游客，使作者成为了一个有经验的园艺师和演讲者。 6．细节理解题。根据第二段“When I met Oliver, I fell in love immediately. He had soft black fur with a white undercoat, a round face, and golden eyes. I named him Oliver and brought him home. (当我见到Oliver时，我立刻爱上了他。他有柔软的黑色皮毛，下面是白色的绒毛，圆圆的脸，金色的眼睛。我给他起名叫Oliver，并把他带回了家。)”可知，作者第一眼看到Oliver就爱上了他，所以把他带回了家。故选D。 7．推理判断题。根据第二段“But Oliver wasn’t an indoors-only cat. He cried at the door and tried to get out. After much discussion, my family and I built a 30-by-15-foot outdoor cat run with walls, grass and toys. (但Oliver不是一只只待在室内的猫。他在门口哭喊着想出去。经过多次讨论，我和我的家人建了一个30乘15英尺的室外猫跑道，有墙、草地和玩具。)”可知，作者决定建造一个室外猫跑道是为了满足Oliver的需求。故选A。 8．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“The project changed my life. Working together brought my family closer.

Her life changed forever when she turned around to see “this beautiful, amazing bear coming out of the forest.” Andean bears are easily recognized by the ring of pale fur (毛皮) that often encircles one or both eyes. Bolivia is home to about 3,000 adult bears, or about one-third of the world’s total Andean bears. The species suffers mainly from habitat loss and conflicts with humans, who sometimes kill the bears when bears destroy crops or hunt livestock (牲畜). Local villagers showed her bear skins hanging in their living rooms, describing how bears were a threat to them. When another community in Tarija showed her some brand-new bee boxes that people didn’t know how to use, she had an idea: Could selling honey help save bears? Training farmers as beekeepers was increasing in other parts of Bolivia as an eco-friendly way to provide income for rural (乡村的) landowners who might otherwise turn to clearing more forest. Velez-Liendo asked Patricia Sanchez, an economist who had experience teaching beekeeping in Bolivia’s highlands, to join the Andean Carnivore Conservation Program in 2017. The program trains locals how to care for hives (蜂箱), get honey and sell it. It also supports other types of nature-friendly agricultural practices, like fencing (围住) livestock and cutting off branches of fruit trees so they don’t attract bears. In exchange, community members agree to protect the forest and not harm Andean bears. “If people don’t see the value of protecting an animal, protecting an ecosystem, then they’re not going to do it,” Velez-Liendo says. Today, more than 60 Andean bears move around through Tarija’s forests, a remarkable increase over the five bears documented in 2017. Her goal is to copy Tarija’s model in the Chuquisaca and Cochabamba regions to the north. Attracting more rural communities to join in can provide “stepping stones” of habitat to connect isolated bear populations, she says. 10．What do we know about Andean bears? A．They have grey fur around the eyes. B．Most of them live mainly in Bolivia. C．They are listed as an endangered species. D．They don’t get along well with humans. 11．Why might rural landowners clear more forests? A．To earn much income. B．To get more space. C．To plant more crops.

A．Increase locals’ income. B．Set up protection areas. C．Attract more people to join in. D．Develop economy. 【答案】10．D 11．A 12．D 13．C 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了生物学家Velez-Liendo在玻利维亚实地调查时发现安第斯熊数量减少，她通过让当地人卖蜂蜜来赚钱收入，从而减少人类对安第斯熊的杀戮，效果显著。 10．推理判断题。根据第二段中“The species suffers mainly from habitat loss and conflicts with humans, who sometimes kill the bears when bears destroy crops or hunt livestock (牲畜). Local villagers showed her bear skins hanging in their living rooms, describing how bears were a threat to them.(该物种主要遭受栖息地丧失和与人类的冲突，当熊破坏庄稼或捕猎牲畜时，人类有时会杀死熊。当地村民向她展示了挂在客厅里的熊皮，描述了熊是如何对他们构成威胁的。)” 可知，安第斯熊与人类存在冲突，人类有时会在熊破坏庄稼或捕食牲畜时杀死它们，村民还向她展示挂在客厅的熊皮，说明它们与人类相处得不好。故选D项。 11．细节理解题。根据第四段中“Training farmers as beekeepers was increasing in other parts of Bolivia as an eco-friendly way to provide income for rural (乡村的) landowners who might otherwise turn to clearing more forest.(在玻利维亚的其他地区，越来越多的农民接受养蜂人培训，这是一种环保的方式，可以为农村土地所有者提供收入，否则他们可能会转而砍伐更多的森林。)”可知，训练农民成为养蜂人是一种为农村土地所有者提供收入的环保方式，否则他们可能会砍伐更多的森林来获取收入。故选A项。 12．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Today, more than 60 Andean bears move around through Tarija’s forests, a remarkable increase over the five bears documented in 2017.(今天，有60多只安第斯熊在塔里贾的森林里活动，比2017年记录的5只熊有了显著的增加。)”可知，现在有超过60只安第斯熊相比2017年记录的5只熊有了显著增加，由此可知，这个项目是有效的。故选D项。 13．细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Her goal is to copy Tarija’s model in the Chuquisaca and Cochabamba regions to the north. Attracting more rural communities to join in can provide “stepping stones” of habitat to connect isolated bear populations, she says.(她的目标是在北部的丘基萨卡和科恰班巴地区复制塔里哈的模式。她说，吸引更多的农村社区加入，可以为与世隔绝的熊群提供栖息地的‘垫脚石’。)”可知，她的目标是在北部的丘基萨卡和科恰班巴地区复制塔里哈的模式，吸引更多的人们加入。故选C项。 / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
