专题04 阅读理解（记叙文） 主题01 人与自我——生活与学习 Passage 1 （23-24高二上·安徽宣城·期末） Torbjorn Pedersen is a Danish traveler who recently finished a trip around the world. But this wasn’t just any trip. In 2013, Mr. Pedersen read an article about someone who had visited all the countries of the world. It made him realize he could set a record by doing the same thing, but without flying. He hoped that he could live on a budget of about $20 a day. He had originally anticipated it would take four years to reach countries, but the world had other plans. Though he did have to quit his job and leave his parents and girlfriend behind, the first part of his trip was pretty easy, but as he moved on to other parts of the world, things began to get hard. To cross large bodies of water, Mr. Pedersen took boats. Sometimes it was hard to find a boat. At other times, Mr. Pedersen was on a boat for days, being tossed (摇摆颠簸) by strong waves during a storm. He traveled by taxi, bus, train, and even walking. With a limited budget, sometimes people invited him into their homes. At other times, he had to sleep outside. Mr. Pedersen says he had many difficult experiences. He was once held at gunpoint and thought he might be killed. He also became severely ill with a serious disease. But he also had many good experiences. Mr. Pedersen says that one reason why he didn’t give up was the help he got from people all over the world. On July 26, Mr. Pedersen arrived back in Denmark after a 33-day boat ride. He was met by about 150 people, including friends and family members. In the last 10 years, he’s covered around 260,000 miles — roughly 10 times the distance around the Earth. Mr. Pedersen says he’s looking forward to some quiet time to think about his trip. After that, he plans to write a book and share what he learned in his travels around the world. 1．What inspired Torbjorn Pedersen to start the trip around the world? A．The dream of setting a world record. B．The knowledge of a stranger’s experience. C．The desire to experience different cultures. D．The encouragement of his parents and girlfriend. 2．How can we understand the underlined sentence in paragraph 3? A．He failed to carry out his plan. B．He finished his trip smoothly as expected. C．He spent more than four years travelling around the world. D．He changed his plans over the course of the trip intentionally. 3．What’s the main idea of the fifth paragraph? A．The help Mr. Pedersen got from others. B．The challenges Mr. Pedersen met on the way. C．The efforts Mr. Pedersen made to achieve his goal. D．The inconvenient transportation Mr. Pedersen underwent. 4．Which of the following words can best describe Mr. Pedersen? A．Courageous and determined. B．Ambitious and helpful. C．Sincere and independent. D．Amusing and strong-willed. 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．B 4．A 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了丹麦旅行者Torbjorn Pedersen花了四年多的时间完成了一次环球旅行。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段“In 2013, Mr. Pedersen read an article about someone who had visited all the countries of the world. It made him realize he could set a record by doing the same thing, but without flying.(2013年，Pedersen读到一篇文章，讲的是一个去过世界上所有国家的人。这让他意识到他可以通过做同样的事情来创造一项记录，但不需要飞行)”可知，了解陌生人的经历激发了Torbjorn Pedersen开始环球旅行。故选B。 2．句意猜测题。根据第四段“Though he did have to quit his job and leave his parents and girlfriend behind, the first part of his trip was pretty easy, but as he moved on to other parts of the world, things began to get hard.(虽然他不得不辞去工作，离开父母和女朋友，但他旅行的第一部分相当轻松，但当他前往世界其他地方时，事情开始变得困难起来)”可知，后文提到他前往世界其他地方遇到了困难，说明四年时间环游世界并不够，他花了超过四年的时间来完成。故划线句意思是“他花了四年多的时间环游世界”。故选C。 3．主旨大意题。根据第五段“To cross large bodies of water, Mr. Pedersen took boats. Sometimes it was hard to find a boat. At other times, Mr. Pedersen was on a boat for days, being tossed (摇摆颠簸) by strong waves during a storm. He traveled by taxi, bus, train, and even walking. With a limited budget, sometimes people invited him into their homes. At other times, he had to sleep outside. Mr. Pedersen says he had many difficult experiences. He was once held at gunpoint and thought he might be killed. He also became severely ill with a serious disease.(为了穿越大片水域，彼得森要乘船。有时很难找到一艘船。有时，彼得森会在船上待上几天，在暴风雨中被巨浪抛来抛去。他乘出租车、公共汽车、火车，甚至步行。由于预算有限，有时人们会邀请他到家中做客。其他时候，他不得不睡在外面。彼得森说，他有很多困难的经历。他曾经被人用枪指着，以为自己可能会被杀。他还得了一种重病)”可知，第五段主要介绍Pedersen在路上遇到的挑战。故选B。 4．推理判断题。根据第五段“To cross large bodies of water, Mr. Pedersen took boats.

Marei was part of the platform development engineering team at Woodward, helping train the operations and engineering teams on crucial aircraft components. “This was my very first internship, and I was amazed by the aerospace industry,” she said. “We were always crunched under deadlines, and customers, understandably, requested large work orders. There was always a pressure to perform your best and provide them with the best possible units made at our plant. This taught me a lot about how demanding and fast-paced the industry is, but it also confirmed and reassured me that I really want to work in the aerospace industry.” The internship required Marei to use both her technical engineering and interpersonal skills. She worked with both the engineering and operations teams at Woodward. “The operations team didn’t necessarily have engineering degrees, so I had to break down technical terms into everyday words that we use,” she said. “It taught me to be specific and precise. Even if I have to repeat things three or four times, that’s totally fine. I’d rather be more repetitive and ensure each step is correct than have to rework the entire process.” Marei also helped train the teams through product displays and visual work instructions on how to manufacture specific products. That brought its own unique thrill, as the instructions she created could be used long after her internship ended. Marei is planning to return to Woodward this winter. She’ll have another semester’s worth of engineering knowledge, which will further her into the career she’s always wanted. “I got to apply many of the things I learned at Harvard,” she said. “The internship taught me the technical knowledge I’d need to learn from my courses that could be applied here.” 5．Who is Marei? A．An American manufacturer. B．A graduate from Woodward. C．A long-time worker of Woodward, Inc.. D．An advanced student gaining practical experience. 6．What does the underlined word “crunched” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A．Extremely busy. B．Desperately frustrated. C．Really satisfied. D．Especially random. 7．Which words can best describe Marei’s work in Woodward, Inc.? A．Boring but rewarding. B．Motivating and smooth. C．Demanding but beneficial. D．Challenging and comfortable. 8．Why will Marei return to Woodward? A．To hunt for further study in high college. B．To realize the potential in teaching. C．To better put the knowledge into practice. D．To fulfill the initial dream at the young age. 【答案】5．D 6．A 7．C 8．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了25岁的Marei S.B.在美国伍德沃德公司实习的经历，她作为平台开发工程团队的一员，帮助培训和指导操作和工程团队关于关键飞机部件的知识。这次实习让她深刻体会到了航空航天工业的严苛和高效率，同时也坚定了她从事航空航天事业的决心。。 5．细节理解题。根据第一段中“Marei S.B., 25, got her first taste of her dream career this past summer in Colorado, where she interned (实习) at Woodward, Inc., an American designer, manufacturer, and service provider of control system components for aircraft engines for some of the world’s largest aircraft companies.(今年夏天，25岁的Marei S.B.在科罗拉多州的伍德沃德公司第一次体验了她梦寐以求的职业生涯。伍德沃德公司是一家美国设计、制造和服务提供商，为世界上一些最大的飞机公司提供飞机发动机控制系统组件)”可知，Marei S.B.在为世界上一些最大的飞机公司提供飞机发动机控制系统组件的美国伍德沃德公司实习，是一位想获得实习经验的优秀学生。故选D项。 6．词句猜测题。根据第二段中“We were always crunched under deadlines, and customers, understandably, requested large work orders.(我们总是在截止日期前crunched，客户要求大量的工作订单也是可以理解的)”和“This taught me a lot about how demanding and fast-paced the industry is(这让我了解到这个行业的要求有多高，节奏有多快)”可知，Marei S.B.从事的这一行业要求多高，节奏快，结合划线词后“customers, understandably, requested large work orders”可推知，因为客户要求大量的工作订单，所以在截止日期前会“很忙”。划线词crunched与同义extremely busy。故选A项。 7．推理判断题。根据第二段中“There was always a pressure to perform your best and provide them with the best possible units made at our plant. This taught me a lot about how demanding and fast-paced the industry is, but it also confirmed and reassured me that I really want to work in the aerospace industry.(总是有一种压力，要表现得最好，并为他们提供最好的我们的工厂制作的元件。这让我了解到这个行业的要求有多高、节奏有多快，但也让我确信，我真的想在航空航天行业工作)”可知，在伍德沃德公司的实习工作要求很高(demanding)；根据第四段中“That brought its own unique thrill, as the instructions she created could be used long after her internship ended.(这带来了独特的快乐，因为她创建的说明可以在实习结束后很长一段时间内使用)”和最后一段中“The internship taught me the technical knowledge I’d need to learn from my courses that could be applied here.(实习教会了我需要从课程中学习的技术知识，这些知识可以应用到这里)”可知，实习工作带来了好处(beneficial)。故选C项。 8．细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Marei is planning to return to Woodward this winter. She’ll have another semester’s worth of engineering knowledge, which will further her into the career she’s always wanted. “I got to apply many of the things I learned at Harvard,” she said.(Marei计划今年冬天回到伍德沃德。她将学习一个学期的工程知识，这将进一步推动她一直想要的职业生涯。“我把在哈佛学到的很多东西都用上了，”她说)”可知，Marei会回到伍德沃德是因为她想把新学期学到的知识付诸实践。故选C项。 Passage 3 （23-24高二上·安徽马鞍山·期末） Two years ago, from February 2016 to January 2017, I went on a student exchange program to Auckland in New Zealand. I chose to go to New Zealand because firstly, it is a safe country and secondly, I wanted to go to a country that is culturally different from my own. I started considering going on a student exchange program after making a backpack trip around the world when I was a freshman (大一新生) at Waseda University. I met so many people of different backgrounds during my trip. When I was travelling, I realized the importance of speaking English. I felt that if I knew English, I could communicate and make friends with a lot of people around the world. Then, I made up my mind to work hard after coming back from the trip. When I was at Auckland University of Technology, I mainly took classes related to language pedagogy (教学法). Unlike at Waseda University, many of the classes at Auckland University of Technology were held in small class size, usually a class size of 15 students to a teacher. In addition, rather than one-way passive learning, students were required to actively raise their opinions and take part in group discussions in class. The classes were also practical in nature and required a lot of preparation. Spending a year studying abroad has made me feel more confident in communicating in English. I was also able to meet people of different backgrounds thanks to the exchange program. Comparing to the past, I am now a better listener and also better at voicing my opinions. Studying abroad does not only improve my language skills, but also makes me grow as a person. 9．Why did the author choose to go to New Zealand? A．To do his research program. B．To experience its culture. C．To volunteer in a safe country. D．To start his trips around the world. 10．What did the author decide to do after traveling abroad? A．Avoid people from different backgrounds. B．Further his study during his trip. C．Make more friends in his new university. D．Make efforts to learn English well. 11．How do the classes at Auckland differ from those at Waseda? A．They are smaller. B．They have fewer discussions. C．They are quieter. D．They call for fewer efforts. 12．What can we say about the author from the last paragraph? A．He wants to teach language skills. B．He decides to study abroad again. C．He feels thankful for the program. D．He listens more than he speaks. 【答案】9．B 10．D 11．A 12．C 【导语】本文为一篇记叙文，记叙了作者出国留学的经历。 9．细节理解题。根据文章第一段“I chose to go to New Zealand because firstly, it is a safe country and secondly, I wanted to go to a country that is culturally different from my own.(我选择去新西兰是因为首先，它是一个安全的国家，其次，我想去一个与我自己的文化不同的国家)”可知，作者选择去新西兰是为了体验它的文化。故选B项。 10．细节理解题。根据文章第二段“When I was travelling, I realized the importance of speaking English. I felt that if I knew English, I could communicate and make friends with a lot of people around the world. Then, I made up my mind to work hard after coming back from the trip.(当我在旅行时，我意识到说英语的重要性。我觉得如果我懂英语，我就可以和世界各地的很多人交流和交朋友。然后，我决定在旅行回来后努力学习)”可知，作者出国旅行后决定努力学好英语。故选D项。 11．细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段“Unlike at Waseda University, many of the classes at Auckland University of Technology were held in small class size, usually a class size of 15 students to a teacher. In addition, rather than one-way passive learning, students were required to actively raise their opinions and take part in group discussions in class. The classes were also practical in nature and required a lot of preparation.(与早稻田大学不同，奥克兰理工大学的许多课程都是小班授课，通常是15名学生对一名教师。此外，在课堂上要求学生主动提出自己的观点，参与小组讨论，而不是单向的被动学习。这些课程也是实践性的，需要大量的准备)”可知，奥克兰大学的班级和早稻田大学相比，规模更小。故选A项。 12．推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Comparing to the past, I am now a better listener and also better at voicing my opinions. Studying abroad does not only improve my language skills, but also makes me grow as a person.(与过去相比，我现在是一个更好的倾听者，也更善于表达自己的意见。出国留学不仅提高了我的语言能力，也使我成长为一个人)”可推知，作者认为出国留学让自己更优秀了，所以他对这个项目心存感激。故选C项。 Passage 4 （24-25高二上·芜湖一中·期末） It has been five years since I left my staff job and became self-employed. I remember my terror as I walked out of the office for the last time and the thrill when I sold my first piece days later. Working for yourself, setting your own hours and being responsible for your success or failure are exciting. I left my job just as summer was starting, and my first few months were as blissful as the fair days. However, when winter came, an office where someone else paid for the central heating and my salary was guaranteed seemed attractive. January is tough for freelancers (自由职业者), and it was no different for me — after masses of work, I earned none. I shared my fears with some businesswomen I knew — what if the reality would be more like what I was experiencing? Whether through choice or circumstance, the number of freelancers is rising and, if you’re just starting out, it is scary. I’ve been lucky that these women making money their own way shared key lessons about what it takes. You can’t feel half-hearted about what you do because, at some point, you’ re going to have painful days. When that happens, you have to remember why you wanted this life in the first place. Don’t quit your job for something that you think might be more interesting, quit it for something you can’t stop thinking about. Setting up a business is tough. Rather than waiting until all is perfect, go for the moment when it feels as if momentum (势头) is with you. Look after yourself. There is no sick pay when you are self-employed. You can’t do a bad day’s work and blame it on your boss. You are the backbone of your business and you need to prioritize your health and well-being. Rest regularly and find like-minded people to support you and lift you up when things get hard. Finally, enjoy it. Freedom is yours and, if you can make it work, there is nothing better. 13．What does the underlined word “blissful” in paragraph 1 mean? A．Boring. B．Challenging. C．Stable. D．Pleasant. 14．What bothered the author when winter came? A．She couldn’t even earn enough to meet daily basics. B．She eventually realized freelancing wasn’t to her taste. C．Masses of freelancing work brought her much anxiety. D．The cold weather influenced her working performance. 15．According to the author, why should we quit for a new job? A．To escape from the current pain. B．To pursue what we really desire. C．To explore where our strength lies. D．To satisfy our temporary interests. 16．What’s author’s probable attitude towards becoming freelancers? A．Critical. B．Unclear. C．Cautious. D．Favorable. 【答案】13．D 14．A 15．B 16．D 【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文，主要讲述了作者离开了稳定的工作，成为了一个自由职业者，并通过其在离职后经历的困难为那些打算成为自由职业者的人们提供了自己的建议，并明确支持自由就业。 13．词义猜测题。根据第一段的“It has been five years since I left my staff job and became self-employed. I remember my terror as I walked out of the office for the last time and the excitement when I sold my first piece days later. Working for yourself, setting your own hours and being responsible for your success or failure are exciting. I left my job just as summer was starting, and my first few months were as blissful as the fair days.(自从我离开我的员工工作成为个体户已经五年了。我还记得最后一次走出办公室时的恐惧，以及几天后卖出第一件作品时的兴奋。为自己工作，设定自己的时间，对自己的成功或失败负责，这些都是令人兴奋的。夏天刚开始，我就离开了我的工作，我的头几个月就像晴天一样blissful。)”可知，作者做自由职业者的初始几个月是很顺利的，因此心情很愉快。blissful意为“快乐的，愉悦的”，与Pleasant意思一致。故选D。 14．细节理解题。根据第二段的“When winter came, an office where someone else paid for the central heating and my salary was guaranteed seemed attractive. January is tough for freelancers, and it was no different for me — after masses of work, I earned none.(当冬天来临的时候，一间由别人支付中央供暖费用并保证我的工资的办公室似乎很有吸引力。一月对于自由职业者来说是艰难的，对我来说也一样——在做了大量的工作之后，我一无所获。)”可知，作者在1月的冬天遭遇了挫折，做了大量的工作之后一无所获，甚至挣不到足够的钱来维持供暖这样的日常基本生活开支。故选A。 15．推理判断题。根据第四段的“Don’t quit your job for something that you think might be more interesting, quit it for something you can’t stop thinking about.(不要因为你认为可能更有趣的事情而辞职，要因为你无法停止思考的事情而辞职。)”可知，作者认为辞职去找一份新工作是因为心中放不下自己想做的事情，即要去追求我们真正渴望的东西。故选B。 16．推理判断题。根据最后一段的“Finally, enjoy it. Freedom is yours and, if you can make it work, there is nothing better.(最后，享受它。自由是你的，如果你能让它发挥作用，那就再好不过了。)”可知，作者对从事自由职业持支持态度。故选D。 Passage 5 （23-24高二上·安徽黄山·期末） As I look up at the hundreds of fireworks in the sky, I hear the bells ringing in a small temple welcoming the coming of the Chinese New Year. Though I may not believe in or understand many of the New Year traditions here, the similarities between the coming of this New Year and the beginning of my new life in China are not lost on a big boy like me. My first few days in China were a cultural shock to say the least. Having arrived late in the semester, I immediately had to begin my beginners’ Chinese classes, along with the newest class of overseas students. Being surrounded by a language that isn’t your own is unbelievably annoying. Due to the picture-based fashion of Chinese writing, it’s not like you can have a guess, or work it out through whatever knowledge you have from other Latin-originated languages. If you don’t know what it says, then that’s it. However, with time passing, I have found myself progressing, though painfully slowly. The first time I called a taxi by myself, the driver actually understood where I wanted to go, which is hugely rewarding. Still it is never long before my lack of language skill is exposed (暴露的) and I come crashing back to earth, usually immediately upon leaving the taxi. Gaining a language is a huge valuable skill. However, it is not the only thing I will gain in China. After this year of learning Chinese, I aim to gain my master’s degree here at University of Jinan. Opportunities do come around rather often: from being offered jobs teaching English, to being asked to appear on game-shows for Shandong TV. So, for now, I am just looking forward to expanding my cultural horizons (眼界) and enjoying my time here. I take some time to get used to everything, but that’s part of the adventure and, most of all, employment. So, much like the Chinese New Year that I am lucky enough to be part of, I am just looking forward to a fresh start and a new journey in China. 17．What can we know about the author from the first two paragraphs? A．He has no interest in Chinese traditions. B．He knows nothing about the Latin language. C．His late arrival made him miss beginners’ Chinese classes. D．The unique way of Chinese writing made him hard to understand Chinese. 18．What does the author want to show through his taxi experience? A．He is poor at using public transport. B．He finds it easy to call a taxi in China. C．He feels pleased to have made progress in Chinese. D．He is good at chatting with the taxi driver. 19．What is the author’s present expectation? A．To settle down in China. B．To become a famous host on TV. C．To broaden his cultural horizons. D．To be an excellent teaching assistant. 20．Which can be the best title for the text? A．Exploring Chinese: valuable skills mastered B．Learning Chinese; adventurous but enjoyable C．Coming to China: more opportunities promised D．Studying in China: challenging but rewarding 【答案】17．D 18．C 19．C 20．D 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者来到中国后通过自己的努力在中文和其他方面取得的进步。 17．细节理解题。根据第二段“Due to the picture-based fashion of Chinese writing, it’s not like you can have a guess, or work it out through whatever knowledge you have from other Latin-originated languages.(由于中文书写以图像为基础，你无法猜测，或者通过你从其他拉丁语言中获得的知识来解决问题)”可知，中文独特的书写方式使他很难理解中文。故选D。 18．推理判断题。根据第二段的“However, with time passing, I have found myself progressing, though painfully slowly. The first time I called a taxi by myself, the driver actually understood where I wanted to go, which is hugely rewarding.(然而，随着时间的流逝，我发现自己在进步，虽然缓慢得令人痛苦。我第一次自己叫出租车的时候，司机真的明白我要去哪里，这是非常值得的)”可推知，作者通过打出租车的经历表明他很高兴自己的中文取得了进步。故选C。 19．细节理解题。根据最后一段的“So, for now, I am just looking forward to expanding my cultural horizons (眼界) and enjoying my time here.(所以，现在，我只是期待着扩大我的文化视野，享受我在这里的时光)”可推知，作者现在的期望是拓宽他的文化视野。故选C。 20．主旨大意题。纵观全文可知，文章主要讲述了作者来到中国后通过自己的努力在中文和其他方面取得的进步，结合文章最后一段的“Gaining a language is a huge valuable skill. However, it is not the only thing I will gain in China. After this year of learning Chinese, I aim to gain my master’s degree here at University of Jinan.(学习一门语言是一项非常有价值的技能。然而，这并不是我在中国能得到的唯一东西。经过这一年的中文学习，我的目标是在济南大学获得硕士学位)”和“I take some time to get used to everything, but that’s part of the adventure and, most of all, employment.(我需要一些时间来适应一切，但这是冒险的一部分，最重要的是就业)”可知，D项“在中国学习：很辛苦，但也很有收获”可以作为文章的最佳标题。故选D。 Passage 6 （24-25高二上·安徽宣城·期末） After bouncing around through various gigs since the age of 18, Luo Xikun has finally landed his dream job - flying drones in Shenzhen. Now 31, Luo has already participated in the development and testing of 18 drone express delivery routes for Meituan, a leading Chinese e-commerce platform. Luo started as a kitchen assistant, and later became a food deliveryman at Meituan. While working, the young man kept studying in pursuit of a bachelor’s degree. Curious about mechanical devices since childhood, Luo had always hoped to find a job related to mechanical operation. He decided to give it a shot to fulfill his longstanding dream when Meituan started to recruit drone pilots among the company’s food deliverymen in April 2022. After more than a month of intensive theoretical and practical training, he passed the professional exam on drone piloting and was then selected to be an emergency drone pilot for Meituan amid fierce competition. With accumulated drone delivery experience, Luo recently transferred to a new position focusing on the drone flight test and new route exploration, which led him to a fantastic place - the Great Wall. On Aug 16, Beijing launched its first drone logistics (物流) delivery route in the Badaling section of the Great Wall, which enables tourists to receive summer relief items and emergency supplies within minutes. A single trip to the spot used to take around 50 minutes on foot. Before the launch, Luo and his colleagues spent half a month conducting surveys on the route. Every morning, he started climbing the Great Wall at 6 or 7, taking about 40 minutes to reach the preplanned drone landing site to commence his work. To Luo, it is “a challenging but exciting experience”. Luo says that the Great Wall reflects the wisdom and greatness of ancient Chinese, and today’s sci-tech advancement allows people to experience the Great Wall with greater convenience. “I feel particularly proud of it,” he adds. Eyeing the skies, Luo is “full of expectations”, and keen to tap new chances of the growing low-altitude economy. 21．What did Luo Xikun do before working as a drone pilot for Meituan? A．A route planner. B．A food deliveryman. C．A mechanical engineer. D．A chef in a restaurant. 22．Why was a delivery route used in the Badaling section of the Great Wall? A．To conduct mechanical operation. B．To organize new route exploration. C．To accumulate related experience. D．To deliver relief items for emergency. 23．What message can we get from Luo Xikun’s aspirations? A．He will gain fame and recognition as a drone pilot. B．He will find a more stable and less challenging job. C．He will contribute to and explore more opportunities. D．He will focus on improving Meituan’s delivery routes. 24．What can we learn about Luo Xikun from the text? A．He’s a black sheep. B．He’s a couch potato. C．He’s a wet blanket. D．He’s a tough cookie. 【答案】21．B 22．D 23．C 24．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了罗锡坤从一名厨房助手和外卖员，通过不断学习和努力，最终成为美团无人机飞行员，并参与了包括长城无人机物流路线在内的多个无人机快递路线的开发和测试的经历。 21．细节理解题。根据第一段“Luo started as a kitchen assistant, and later became a food deliveryman at Meituan. (罗从厨房助理做起，后来成为美团的送餐员。)”以及第二段“He decided to give it a shot to fulfill his longstanding dream when Meituan started to recruit drone pilots among the company’s food deliverymen in April 2022. (2022年4月，当美团开始在公司的送餐员中招募无人机飞行员时，他决定试一试，实现自己长期以来的梦想。)”可知，罗锡坤在美团做无人机飞行员之前是做送餐员。故选B项。 22．细节理解题。根据第三段“On Aug 16, Beijing launched its first drone logistics (物流) delivery route in the Badaling section of the Great Wall, which enables tourists to receive summer relief items and emergency supplies within minutes. A single trip to the spot used to take around 50 minutes on foot. (8月16日，北京在长城八达岭段开通了首条无人机物流配送路线，游客可以在几分钟内收到夏季救济物品和应急物资。过去，单程步行到这里需要大约50分钟。)”可知，在长城的八达岭段使用无人机物流配送路线是为了运送紧急救援物品。故选D项。 23．推理判断题。根据最后一段“To Luo, it is “a challenging but exciting experience”. Luo says that the Great Wall reflects the wisdom and greatness of ancient Chinese, and today’s sci-tech advancement allows people to experience the Great Wall with greater convenience. “I feel particularly proud of it,” he adds. Eyeing the skies, Luo is “full of expectations”, and keen to tap new chances of the growing low-altitude economy.

He didn’t come from a wealthy family. He’s not a Hollywood superstar, nor does he have some amazing talents, like script-writing, politics or athleticism. However, what he has is something that is available to us all, and that is a determination to succeed. At the age of 25, Cardone took the first job that he could find. That job was as a car salesman. It was a title and a position that Grant was not very fond of. However, the economy was slow, which meant he didn’t have many options, so he made it work. Cardone was committed to becoming the best salesperson he could be. So, he invested (投资) heavily in his own self-improvement by reading books and studying his craft and his industry. After committing himself to becoming his very best, his income quickly doubled. And soon thereafter, he became one of the best car salesmen in the country. He eventually moved on to running his own business, and was extremely smart and disciplined (自律的) with his money. Cardone only spent money on what was absolutely necessary for food and housing. He would place anything left over into an investment fund just for the property market. Cardone’s focus on learning more so that he could earn more, along with having the discipline to invest his extra money, instead of wasting it on useless things, helped him become a self-made millionaire just five years later by the age of 30. Cardone has since gone on to become a well-known international businessman, speaker and the owner of Cardone Capital, a $ 1.5 billion investment firm. He’s authored the New York Times bestselling books If You’re Not First, You’re Last, and other famous books like The 10X Rule, and Axiom Award winning Sell or Be Sold. In addition to this, he also founded Cardone University, a popular sales training platform that has over 50,000,000 and growing users.

In Tel Aviv, that’s exactly what happened. Instead of taking advantage of the situation, customers treated the shop like a “self-checkout” store taking charge and operating the register themselves. The incident occurred on a Friday night, the store’s peak shopping hours. The cashier who was tasked with operating the register fell ill suddenly and was rushed to hospital. The owner, Shiko Altid, didn’t find out that the store was unstaffed for an entire hour, until one customer called the shop’s security, who updated the owner Altid. On hearing about the incident, Altid immediately checked the security cameras, expecting to see a mess with tens of thousands of products scattered (散乱的) throughout the store. But what he saw surprised him—just minutes after the cashier left, the customers began to deal with the products themselves. “Two or three customer took charge, helping each other with items,” Altid recalled. “Every time the cash drawer opened, they quickly shut it to avoid any misunderstandings or theft. They even gave each other the correct change from the register. It was amazing. We later checked both the registers and the cameras, and nothing was missing! No one left without paying. I was in shock—this was Friday night in the center of Tel Aviv, with the store completely open. It could have been a disaster.” Later, Altid put up a sign in his store, reading. “We’d appreciate it if those who were at the register could contact us so we can express our thanks properly and reward your efforts.” However, only one customer—the one who had been in touch with security—reached out to Altid and received a thank-you voucher (代金券). The rest simply paid and left, not expecting or seeking any thanks for their actions. 29．What happened to the shop on a Friday night? A．It was unattended for some time.

But Bradley does have lots to say now about his special experience at a resort in the picturesque tropical coastal city of Sanya in South China's Hainan province. The 33-year-old Australian is actually a student in international relations completing his PhD through Griffith University. He came to Beijing for a cooperative research at Peking University less than two years ago. Such an academic life was just added color with a chance offered by the cultural exchanges project, "I'm in China". "What I liked most about the experience was it was something completely different that you would never be able to do as a regular tourist," Bradley said in an interview. Bradley was chosen to work as a recreational manager for a Chinese wedding. The film crew took them to many "amazing sites" and the staff at the resort taught them a lot about how to "incorporate modern Chinese features while still keeping traditional customs", Bradley said. "I would have to say two things stick out as the most memorable: the helicopter ride and talking with the staff at the hotel about how they organize weddings here in China," he said. That was Bradley's first time to be in a helicopter, and he was too absorbed with the "stunning" view of the beautiful coastline. "I think it is so important to show other Australians the different landscapes China has to offer. I think so many Australians, when they think about China, imagine the historical sites of Beijing and the exciting things to see in Shanghai but have no idea about other beautiful places, like Sanya or the many other places people have been taken to in this TV series," Bradley said. "I'm in China" is a project sponsored by China Intercontinental Communication Centre and other institutions under the guidance of China's State Council Information Office. It invites foreign natives worldwide to experience unique jobs and participate in activities that one can find nowhere else except in China. More than 10,000 photos and articles were submitted from around the globe by over 6,00 applicants. 1．Bradley actually is ________. A．an Australian PhD student B．a regular Australian tourist C．a recreational manager D．an Australian diplomat 2．What does the underlined word "incorporate" in paragraph 4 mean? A．get rid of B．take advantage of C．take in D．keep off 3．What impressed Bradley most? A．The beautiful scenery of Sanya and special activities. B．Flying in a helicopter and organizing Chinese wedding. C．The historical sites of Beijing and the exciting things in Shanghai. D．Chinese traditional customs and many amazing sites. 4．From the last paragraph, we can infer that the project "I'm in China" is ________. A．unique but unattractive to foreigners B．special but helpless to know about China C．uninteresting and rejected by foreigners D．unique and popular with foreigners 【答案】1．A 2．C 3．B 4．D 【分析】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了33岁的博士生Bradley在海南三亚参加一个名为“我在中国”的项目，担任康乐部经理，体验了中国传统文化和现代元素的融合，这些经历让他印象深刻。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段第一句“The 33-year-old Australian is actually a student in international relations completing his PhD through Griffith University.”（这位33岁的澳大利亚人实际上是格里菲斯大学国际关系专业的学生，正在完成他的博士学位）可知，Bradley是一名正在格里菲斯大学读博士的学生。故选A项。 2．词句猜测题。根据第四段“The film crew took them to many "amazing sites" and the staff at the resort taught them a lot about how to "incorporate modern Chinese features while still keeping traditional customs", Bradley said.”可知，这里要表示在对现代中国特色做出“incorporate”的同时，仍然保留传统文化习俗，可推断出这里是要表达“融汇古今”，即在保留传统的基础上，吸收、采用现代元素和特色。“incarporate” 意思是“吸收”。故选C项。 3．细节理解题。根据第五段引述Bradley的话“I would have to say two things stick out as the most memorable: the helicopter ride and talking with the staff at the hotel about how they organize weddings here in China”（我不得不说，有两件事是最难忘的：乘坐直升机的经历，以及与酒店员工谈论他们在中国是如何组织婚礼的）可知，让他印象最深的是直升飞机之旅和与工作人员谈论策划中国婚礼。故选B项。 4．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“ It invites foreign natives worldwide to experience unique jobs and participate in activities that one can find nowhere else except in China. More than 10,000 photos and articles were submitted from around the globe by over 6,00 applicants.”（它邀请世界各地的外国人体验独特的工作和参与活动，只有在中国才能找到。来自世界各地的600多名申请者提交了一万多张照片和文章）可知，“我在中国”这一项目会邀请外国人来体验独特的工作和中国独有的活动，也因此受到外国人欢迎，会收到来自世界各地大量的申请书。故选D项。 Passage 2 （23-24高二上·合肥一中·期末） Looking back, Geoff Banks of Devon, England can hardly even remember how he first started writing to his American friend, Celesta Byrne.

Deep down, I refuse to use Zoom. Writing to Celesta has been a source of great satisfaction for me over the years,” said Geoff. Celesta says their relationship is “like people who live next door”. “You know how they’re doing, you say a few words, and then you both go to work,” she explained. “She’s always been there to write to, even if it was just birthday cards and Christmas cards.” Geoff added. 5．What do Geoff and Celesta insist on doing over the 80 years?

He swatted (重拍) at the fly, but it did not move. He reached out to touch the insect, only to find it was only wet paint. Turning around, he saw that his apprentice (学徒), Giotto, was laughing. Giotto had painted the fly when Cimabue was away, and it looked so real that Cimabue had been completely fooled. Giotto di Bondone was born into a poor family in a village. Legend has it that one day, when Cimabue was wandering around the countryside, he spotted a young shepherd boy drawing pictures of his sheep, which were so vivid that Cimabue immediately asked him to come to Florence and learn how to paint. That was how Giotto’s story began in Florence, where the young student flourished under Cimabue s instruction and soon surpassed his master in skill. At that time, people in paintings didn’t look real, and the symbolism of art was difficult for viewers to connect with it. Innovation (创新) was not stressed, so art had remained the same for hundreds of years. However, Giotto thought art should be something more connected with people in a more realistic way. His masterpieces included the forty major frescoes (壁画) for the Arena Chapel. Adopting many techniques that were uncommon then, he painted people the way he saw them, instead of the overly tall and boxy people that other artists painted. He created three-dimensional space by using perspective, something that had not been done since Roman times. In addition to painting, Giotto wrote poetry and drew architectural plans. When Giotto was in his sixties, he painted the Ognissanti Madomma, another famous work of art. He continued working until the age of seventy. The ideas Giotto brought to painting throughout his life revolutionized the art world and made him one of the greatest painters ever. 13．What does the anecdote in paragraph 1 tell us about Giotto? A．His humor B．His talent C．His courage D．His determination 14．How did Cimabue feel about Giotto’s painting when they first met? A．Impressed B．Stressed C．Doubtful D．Concerned 15．What made Giotto’s works distinguished at that time? A．Vivid colors B．Classic skills C．Original composition D．Lifelike quality 16．Which of the following best summarizes Giott’s story? A．Great minds think alike B．Innovation is the vitality of art C．Constant dripping wears away a stone D．A slow sparrow should make an early start 【答案】13．B 14．A 15．D 16．B 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了意大利的画家Giotto di Bondone在绘画方面的思想，改变了艺术界，使他成为有史以来最伟大的画家之一。 13．推理判断题。根据第一段“He swatted (重拍) at the fly, but it did not move. He reached out to touch the insect, only to find it was only wet paint. Giotto had painted the fly when Cimabue was away, and it looked so real that Cimabue had been completely fooled. (他拍苍蝇，但它不动。他伸手去摸那只昆虫，却发现那只是未干的油漆。Giotto是在Cimabue不在的时候画的这只苍蝇，它看起来如此真实，Cimabue完全被骗了。)”可知，Giotto趁Cimabue不在时画得苍蝇，让他信以为真，这表明了Giotto的才能。故选B项。 14．推理判断题。根据第二段“Legend has it that one day, when Cimabue was wandering around the countryside, he spotted a young shepherd boy drawing pictures of his sheep, which were so vivid that Cimabue immediately asked him to come to Florence and learn how to paint.(传说有一天，Cimabue在乡下闲逛时，发现一个年轻的牧童正在画他的羊，画得非常生动，Cimabue立即邀请他来佛罗伦萨学习画画。)”可知，第一次见Giotto时，Cimabue认为他的画让人印象深刻。故选A项。 15．推理判断题。根据文章第四段“However, Giotto thought art should be something more connected with people in a more realistic way. (然而，Giotto认为艺术应该以一种更现实的方式与人们联系在一起。)”以及“he painted people the way he saw them, instead of the overly tall and boxy people that other artists painted. (他以自己所看到的方式来描绘人物，而不是像其他艺术家画的那样过分高大、四四方方的人。)”可知，Giotto的画因其栩栩如生的特点而与众不同。故选D项。 16．主旨大意题。根据文章第三段“Innovation (创新) was not stressed, so art had remained the same for hundreds of years. (创新没有被强调，所以艺术几百年来一直保持不变。)”、第四段“Adopting many techniques that were uncommon then, he painted people the way he saw them (他采用了许多当时并不常见的技巧，以他所看到的方式来描绘人物)”和最后一段“The ideas Giotto brought to painting throughout his life revolutionized the art world and made him one of the greatest painters ever. (Giotto一生带给绘画的理念彻底改变了艺术界，使他成为有史以来最伟大的画家之一。)”可知，文章主要叙述了Giotto对艺术创新的故事，即“创新是艺术的生命力”。故选B项。 Passage 5 （23-24高二上·六安一中·期末） Most students, when asked about their ideal graduation gift, would probably reply, “Acar”, or “Money for a deposit on a house”. Cai Kaiyuan,21, made a different choice. As a graduation gift to himself, he decided to work as a volunteer teacher in a remote village in Xizang. Cai, a senior majoring in electrical engineering at Huan Railway Professional Technology College, originally planned to cycle from Sichuan to Xizang. During his journey, Cai’s idea for a different graduation gift to himself began to take shape. “I did not know beforehand what the journey would mean to me. I just want to gain a unique experience and have pleasure in appreciating the view there,” he said. It turned out that cycling on a plateau (高原) was extremely challenging. And it has kept changing his view on life. Cai’s fingers even became frostbitten while cycling up a 5008-metre-high mountain, where temperatures often dropped to 18 below zero. At night, the ice covered the road and he fell off his bike three times. The lack of oxygen made him feel dizzy and weak. “At the most serious moment, I felt that my life was on the line,” said Cai. However, he also gained something unexpected. At Ya’an, a city in Sichuan, he met a group of tourists who were also university students. A girl called Wu Ling told him that she planned to work as a teacher in a primary school in Xizang after her journey. He was impressed by the idea as she looked thin and weak. It was not until he reached a family-run hotel in Shigatse that Cai’s spirits began to rise. The hotel manager’s two daughters enjoyed talking with him. The kids asked about his experiences on his trip, and showed him the beautiful local lakes. “They told me that they always liked to talk to guests, as they wanted to improve their Mandarin,” he said. “Their parents and many locals can only speak Tibetan. ” Cai was touched by the girls’story. Their situation is tough and the local people have little chance to learn Mandarin because the schools are short of teachers. “I want to do something to improve the situation for kids like them,” said Cai. His parents finally gave their agreement and his teachers also supported him. 17．According to the passage, Cai Kaiyuan’s graduation gift to himself is ______. A．to have money for a deposit on a house B．to travel by cycling from Sichuan to Xizang C．to own a new car and marry a slim girl D．to work as a volunteer teacher in a Tibetan school 18．What words can be used to describe Cai’s journey to Xizang? A．Unique and pleasant. B．Freezing cold and boring. C．Challenging but rewarding. D．Relaxing but unexpected. 19．The underlined phrase “on the line” in the third paragraph means “______”. A．making a phone call B．at risk C．very hopeless D．very painful 20．The purpose of writing this passage is to ______. A．tell us about an unusual graduation gift B．introduce a dangerous journey to us C．give advice on how to travel to Xizang D．encourage us to be a teacher in Xizang 【答案】17．D 18．C 19．B 20．A 【导语】本文是记叙文。文章主要说明了大学毕业生Cai Kaiyuan有一个不寻常的毕业礼物，即到西藏的学校做志愿者老师，文章介绍了他会做出这样的决定的原因。 17．细节理解题。根据第一段“As a graduation gift to himself, he decided to work as a volunteer teacher in a remote village in Xizang.(作为给自己的毕业礼物，他决定去西藏一个偏远的村庄当一名支教老师)”可知，Cai Kaiyuan的毕业礼物是到西藏偏远山村的一所学校做志愿者老师。故选D。 18．细节理解题。根据第三段“It turned out cycling on a plateau was extremely challenging. (结果在高原骑行是非常具有挑战性的)”以及第四段第一句“However, he also gained something unexpected. (但是，他也获得了意想不到的东西)”可知，Cai Kaiyuan的西藏之行是有挑战性的，但是也很有意义。故选C。 19．词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“At night, the ice covered the road and he fell off his bike three times. The lack of oxygen made him feel dizzy and weak. (在晚上，冰覆盖路面，他从自行车上摔下三次。缺氧使他感到眩晕和虚弱)”可知，Cai在冰覆盖的路面骑车摔倒了，缺氧使他感到眩晕和虚，他感到自己有危险。故on the line是“有危险”的意思。故选B。 20．推理判断题。根据第一段“Most students, when asked about their ideal graduation gift, would probably reply, “Acar”, or “Money for a deposit on a house”. Cai Kaiyuan,21, made a different choice. As a graduation gift to himself, he decided to work as a volunteer teacher in a remote village in Xizang.( 大部分学生在被问及关于自己理想的毕业礼物时都会回答“小汽车”或者“购房款”。蔡开元，21岁，做出了不同的选择。作为给自己的毕业礼物，他决定去西藏一个偏远的村庄当一名支教老师)”可推知，这篇文章的主要目的是告诉读者一个不寻常的毕业礼物。故选A。 Passage 6 （23-24高二上·皖豫名校·期末） 81-year-old Harry Smith of Port St. Lucie, Florida takes his 9-year-old dog Sarah Jane for a walk around the lake across the street from his house twice a day, every day. Smith, who uses an electric wheelchair to get around, was on one of his regular walks earlier this month when something out of the ordinary happened. The left wheel of his wheelchair got stuck in some loose mud (泥土), and as he tried to reverse (倒车)out of it, his wheelchair lost balance. He ended up turning over his wheelchair and rolling down the bank into the lake. Sensing her owner was in trouble, Sarah Jane began barking (吠叫)loudly as Smith struggled to keep his head above the water. Her continuous barking caught the attention of two neighbors working in their driveway across the street, who rushed over to see what was wrong. One of those men was Edward Shuling, who said in the beginning he thought the dog might have gotten into a fight with a crocodile (鳄鱼), before he saw Smith's head sticking out of the water.“Immediately I just jumped in,”Shuling told TCPalm.“It's just a natural reaction.”A second neighbor, Aby“Jacob”Chacko, was following closely behind and happened to spot Officer Adam Doty on his way down to the water. Together, the three men pulled Smith out of the water and back to safety, much to his—and Sarah Jane's—relief. With no serious injuries, Smith was cleared to go home but his electric wheelchair was no longer working due to water damage. And in a post showing the sweet moment by the Port St. Lucie Police Department, Officer Doty and Sarah Jane, of course, helped Smith get back to his house.“We are thankful to Mr. Smith's dog and the two passers-by that helped save his life!”the post reads. 21．What caused the accident? A．The wheelchair tripped over a dog. B．Harry Smith tried to move closer to the bank. C．The wheelchair took a sharp turn to reverse.

All of them, however, are part of one team: the Skid Row Running Club in Los Angeles (L.A.). Twice a week, before the sun comes up, Judge Craig Mitchell runs the mile from his office at the county courthouse to The Midnight Mission, a social services organization centered in Downtown’s Skid Row — the well-known area where the city’s largest homeless population lives. At the organization, he meets a group of 30 to 40 people and together they run through East L. A．The group includes runners from all walks of life and all levels of athleticism. Some members are homeless or in recovery, and others are lawyers, social workers or students. Mitchell developed the program in 2012 after a man he’d once sentenced to prison returned to thank him. “He was paroled (假释) to The Midnight Mission and decided to come back and said ‘Thank you, Judge Mitchell, for treating me like a human being.’ The president of the organization at the time asked me if there was something that I could do to contribute to the organization, and I thought of starting a running club. That was the inception,” Mitchell said. Every year, Mitchell takes his most devoted Skid Row runners on a free trip to participate in an international marathon. “I come back to the courthouse after any run and check off who is there. And so, I know exactly who has been faithful to the running program and who just comes once in a while,” he said. Mitchell says he’s seen some participants turn their lives around, attending college, securing full-time employment and possessing calmness. “Running is a way for the participants to build relationships,” he said. “You can be an amazing runner and benefit as much as our fast runners, because at the end of the day you’re going to be surrounded by people who really care about you and want to spend time with you. Everybody is welcome. We believe. We listen. We support.” 25．What can we learn about the Skid Row Running Club? A．It was set up to make a profit. B．It consists of all sorts of members. C．It’s failed to win popularity in L. A． D．It was designed mainly for court judges. 26．What does the underlined word “inception” in Paragraph 4 most probably mean? A．Origin. B．Standard. C．Contribution. D．Distribution. 27．Why does Mitchell check off runners after any run? A．To check their health. B．To compare their speed. C．To award devoted runners. D．To make sure of their presence. 28．What does Mitchell’s story tell us? A．Running can highly educate criminals. B．We can gain admiration if we work hard. C．We can make a difference when we care. D．Running can help build a charity for the poor. 【答案】25．B 26．A 27．D 28．C 【导语】本文是记叙文。本文讲述了一名62岁的高级法院法官米切尔，通过为曾是瘾君子和罪犯们成立Skid Row跑步俱乐部，来改变他们的人生的故事。 25．细节理解题。根据第一段“He is a 62-year-old superior court judge, but they are former addicts and criminals. All of them, however, are part of one team: the Skid Row Running Club in Los Angeles.(他是一名62岁的高级法院法官，但他们都曾是瘾君子和罪犯。然而，他们都属于一个团队：洛杉矶的Skid Row跑步俱乐部。) ”可知，Skid Row跑步俱乐部由各种成员组成。故选B。 26．词句猜测题。根据第四段““The president of the organization at the time asked me if there was something that I could do to contribute to the organization, and I thought of starting a running club. That was the inception,” Mitchell said. (“当时该组织的主席问我是否可以为该组织做些什么，我就想成立一个跑步俱乐部。那是inception，”米切尔说。)”可知，这是米切尔在讲述跑步俱乐部成立的初始。所以，origin的意思是“起源”，和选项A意思一致。故选A。 27．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Every year, Mitchell takes his most devoted Skid Row runners on a free trip to participate in an international marathon. “I come back to the courthouse after any run and check off who is there. And so, I know exactly who has been faithful to the running program and who just comes once in a while, ” he said. (每年，米切尔都会带着他最忠实的贫民窟跑步者参加一次免费的国际马拉松比赛。“每次跑步后，我都会回到法院，查看谁在那里。所以，我清楚地知道谁是忠于跑步计划的，谁只是偶尔来一下。”)”可知，为了确认每个跑步者的到场，米切尔每次跑步后都要检查跑步者。故选D。 28．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Mitchell says he’s seen some participants turn their lives around, attending college, securing full-time employment and possessing calmness. “Running is a way for the participants to build relationships,” he said. “You can be an amazing runner and benefit as much as our fast runners, because at the end of the day you’re going to be surrounded by people who really care about you and want to spend time with you. Everybody is welcome. We believe. We listen. We support.” (米切尔说，他看到一些参与者改变了自己的生活，上了大学，找到了全职工作，保持了冷静。“跑步是参与者建立关系的一种方式，”他说。“你可以成为一名出色的跑步者，并和我们的快跑者一样受益，因为在一天结束时，你身边会围绕着真正关心你、想和你共度时光的人。每个人都是受欢迎的。我们相信。我们听。我们支持。”)”可知，大法官米切尔通过为曾是瘾君子和罪犯们成立Skid Row跑步俱乐部来改变他们的人生，所以，Skid Row跑步俱乐部米切尔的故事告诉当我们关心别人的时候，我们就能有所作为。故选C。 主题02 人与自我——生活与学习 Passage 1 （23-24高二上·安庆二中·期末） “Mom, I got into the University of Delaware!” I still remember how thrilled I was to be the first one in my family to have the opportunity to study abroad. I was so excited that I did a countdown every single day leading up to move in day at the university. However, just a few weeks after I got there, I found it very difficult to adapt to a different country, culture, and a strict curriculum. I knew studying in a foreign university was going to be hard, but the first exam still shocked — me I got a 58%, the lowest in my life. Worse still, since my day-to-day experiences and interests were so different from the American students’, I was struggling to make friends. I felt like a complete loser and kept thinking maybe I should just give up. But then it occurred to me that I was not studying just for myself, but to live up to my family’s expectations. Having made up my mind to push myself forward, I came up with a plan to make improvements. The plan was not only about study, but also about my eating and leisure time. I also planned weekly goals on how to make friends, such as “you will talk to someone at the dining hall, and you will not be scared!” Looking back, I find it was definitely embarrassing to plan my days like this, but I did it and made it. I was able to interact with others without looking like an outsider and even made some friends. I even began to teach others about my country, Panama. I told them about typical cultural differences between Panama and the US. It was really exciting to see them eager to learn more about my country. Now I am a senior, confident, strong and smart. My freshman-year self is extremely proud of how far I have come. The coming graduation surely makes me sad, but I’m sure it’s not the ending, but the beginning of the many more goals I will accomplish. 29．How did the author feel after entering college? A．Thrilled. B．Stressed. C．Disappointed. D．Proud. 30．What stopped the writer from giving up? A．His interest in knowledge. B．His longing for friends. C．His sense of responsibility.

Worse still, since my day-to-day experiences and interests were so different from the American students’, I was struggling to make friends. I felt like a complete loser and kept thinking maybe I should just give up. (我知道在国外大学学习很难，但第一次考试还是让我震惊，我只得了58%，这是我一生中最低的。更糟糕的是，由于我的日常经历和兴趣与美国学生大不相同，我很难交到朋友。我觉得自己是个彻头彻尾的失败者，一直在想也许我应该放弃。)”可知作者进入大学后遇到很多困难，所以应该感到有压力的，故选B。 30．细节理解题。根据第二段“I felt like a complete loser and kept thinking maybe I should just give up. But then it occurred to me that I was not studying just for myself, but to live up to my family’s expectations.

But this wasn’t just any trip. In 2013, Mr. Pedersen read an article about someone who had visited all the countries of the world. It made him realize he could set a record by doing the same thing, but without flying. He hoped that he could live on a budget of about $20 a day. He had originally anticipated it would take four years to reach countries, but the world had other plans. Though he did have to quit his job and leave his parents and girlfriend behind, the first part of his trip was pretty easy, but as he moved on to other parts of the world, things began to get hard. To cross large bodies of water, Mr. Pedersen took boats. Sometimes it was hard to find a boat. At other times, Mr. Pedersen was on a boat for days, being tossed (摇摆颠簸) by strong waves during a storm. He traveled by taxi, bus, train, and even walking. With a limited budget, sometimes people invited him into their homes. At other times, he had to sleep outside. Mr. Pedersen says he had many difficult experiences. He was once held at gunpoint and thought he might be killed. He also became severely ill with a serious disease. But he also had many good experiences. Mr. Pedersen says that one reason why he didn’t give up was the help he got from people all over the world. On July 26, Mr. Pedersen arrived back in Denmark after a 33-day boat ride. He was met by about 150 people, including friends and family members. In the last 10 years, he’s covered around 260,000 miles — roughly 10 times the distance around the Earth. Mr. Pedersen says he’s looking forward to some quiet time to think about his trip. After that, he plans to write a book and share what he learned in his travels around the world. 1．What inspired Torbjorn Pedersen to start the trip around the world?

Passage 2 （23-24高二上·安徽五市联考·期末） Marei S.B．, 25, got her first taste of her dream career this past summer in Colorado, where she interned (实习) at Woodward, Inc., an American designer, manufacturer, and service provider of control system components for aircraft engines for some of the world’s largest aircraft companies. Marei was part of the platform development engineering team at Woodward, helping train the operations and engineering teams on crucial aircraft components. “This was my very first internship, and I was amazed by the aerospace industry,” she said. “We were always crunched under deadlines, and customers, understandably, requested large work orders. There was always a pressure to perform your best and provide them with the best possible units made at our plant. This taught me a lot about how demanding and fast-paced the industry is, but it also confirmed and reassured me that I really want to work in the aerospace industry.” The internship required Marei to use both her technical engineering and interpersonal skills. She worked with both the engineering and operations teams at Woodward. “The operations team didn’t necessarily have engineering degrees, so I had to break down technical terms into everyday words that we use,” she said. “It taught me to be specific and precise. Even if I have to repeat things three or four times, that’s totally fine. I’d rather be more repetitive and ensure each step is correct than have to rework the entire process.” Marei also helped train the teams through product displays and visual work instructions on how to manufacture specific products. That brought its own unique thrill, as the instructions she created could be used long after her internship ended. Marei is planning to return to Woodward this winter. She’ll have another semester’s worth of engineering knowledge, which will further her into the career she’s always wanted. “I got to apply many of the things I learned at Harvard,” she said. “The internship taught me the technical knowledge I’d need to learn from my courses that could be applied here.” 5．Who is Marei? A．An American manufacturer. B．A graduate from Woodward. C．A long-time worker of Woodward, Inc.. D．An advanced student gaining practical experience. 6．What does the underlined word “crunched” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A．Extremely busy. B．Desperately frustrated. C．Really satisfied. D．Especially random. 7．Which words can best describe Marei’s work in Woodward, Inc.? A．Boring but rewarding. B．Motivating and smooth. C．Demanding but beneficial. D．Challenging and comfortable. 8．Why will Marei return to Woodward? A．To hunt for further study in high college. B．To realize the potential in teaching. C．To better put the knowledge into practice. D．To fulfill the initial dream at the young age. Passage 3 （23-24高二上·安徽马鞍山·期末） Two years ago, from February 2016 to January 2017, I went on a student exchange program to Auckland in New Zealand. I chose to go to New Zealand because firstly, it is a safe country and secondly, I wanted to go to a country that is culturally different from my own. I started considering going on a student exchange program after making a backpack trip around the world when I was a freshman (大一新生) at Waseda University. I met so many people of different backgrounds during my trip. When I was travelling, I realized the importance of speaking English. I felt that if I knew English, I could communicate and make friends with a lot of people around the world. Then, I made up my mind to work hard after coming back from the trip. When I was at Auckland University of Technology, I mainly took classes related to language pedagogy (教学法). Unlike at Waseda University, many of the classes at Auckland University of Technology were held in small class size, usually a class size of 15 students to a teacher. In addition, rather than one-way passive learning, students were required to actively raise their opinions and take part in group discussions in class. The classes were also practical in nature and required a lot of preparation. Spending a year studying abroad has made me feel more confident in communicating in English. I was also able to meet people of different backgrounds thanks to the exchange program. Comparing to the past, I am now a better listener and also better at voicing my opinions. Studying abroad does not only improve my language skills, but also makes me grow as a person. 9．Why did the author choose to go to New Zealand? A．To do his research program. B．To experience its culture. C．To volunteer in a safe country. D．To start his trips around the world. 10．What did the author decide to do after traveling abroad? A．Avoid people from different backgrounds. B．Further his study during his trip. C．Make more friends in his new university. D．Make efforts to learn English well. 11．How do the classes at Auckland differ from those at Waseda? A．They are smaller. B．They have fewer discussions. C．They are quieter. D．They call for fewer efforts. 12．What can we say about the author from the last paragraph? A．He wants to teach language skills. B．He decides to study abroad again. C．He feels thankful for the program. D．He listens more than he speaks. Passage 4 （24-25高二上·芜湖一中·期末） It has been five years since I left my staff job and became self-employed. I remember my terror as I walked out of the office for the last time and the thrill when I sold my first piece days later. Working for yourself, setting your own hours and being responsible for your success or failure are exciting. I left my job just as summer was starting, and my first few months were as blissful as the fair days. However, when winter came, an office where someone else paid for the central heating and my salary was guaranteed seemed attractive. January is tough for freelancers (自由职业者), and it was no different for me — after masses of work, I earned none. I shared my fears with some businesswomen I knew — what if the reality would be more like what I was experiencing? Whether through choice or circumstance, the number of freelancers is rising and, if you’re just starting out, it is scary. I’ve been lucky that these women making money their own way shared key lessons about what it takes. You can’t feel half-hearted about what you do because, at some point, you’ re going to have painful days. When that happens, you have to remember why you wanted this life in the first place. Don’t quit your job for something that you think might be more interesting, quit it for something you can’t stop thinking about. Setting up a business is tough. Rather than waiting until all is perfect, go for the moment when it feels as if momentum (势头) is with you. Look after yourself. There is no sick pay when you are self-employed. You can’t do a bad day’s work and blame it on your boss. You are the backbone of your business and you need to prioritize your health and well-being. Rest regularly and find like-minded people to support you and lift you up when things get hard. Finally, enjoy it. Freedom is yours and, if you can make it work, there is nothing better. 13．What does the underlined word “blissful” in paragraph 1 mean? A．Boring. B．Challenging. C．Stable. D．Pleasant. 14．What bothered the author when winter came? A．She couldn’t even earn enough to meet daily basics. B．She eventually realized freelancing wasn’t to her taste. C．Masses of freelancing work brought her much anxiety. D．The cold weather influenced her working performance. 15．According to the author, why should we quit for a new job? A．To escape from the current pain. B．To pursue what we really desire. C．To explore where our strength lies. D．To satisfy our temporary interests. 16．What’s author’s probable attitude towards becoming freelancers? A．Critical. B．Unclear. C．Cautious. D．Favorable. Passage 5 （23-24高二上·安徽黄山·期末） As I look up at the hundreds of fireworks in the sky, I hear the bells ringing in a small temple welcoming the coming of the Chinese New Year. Though I may not believe in or understand many of the New Year traditions here, the similarities between the coming of this New Year and the beginning of my new life in China are not lost on a big boy like me. My first few days in China were a cultural shock to say the least. Having arrived late in the semester, I immediately had to begin my beginners’ Chinese classes, along with the newest class of overseas students. Being surrounded by a language that isn’t your own is unbelievably annoying. Due to the picture-based fashion of Chinese writing, it’s not like you can have a guess, or work it out through whatever knowledge you have from other Latin-originated languages. If you don’t know what it says, then that’s it. However, with time passing, I have found myself progressing, though painfully slowly. The first time I called a taxi by myself, the driver actually understood where I wanted to go, which is hugely rewarding. Still it is never long before my lack of language skill is exposed (暴露的) and I come crashing back to earth, usually immediately upon leaving the taxi. Gaining a language is a huge valuable skill. However, it is not the only thing I will gain in China. After this year of learning Chinese, I aim to gain my master’s degree here at University of Jinan. Opportunities do come around rather often: from being offered jobs teaching English, to being asked to appear on game-shows for Shandong TV. So, for now, I am just looking forward to expanding my cultural horizons (眼界) and enjoying my time here. I take some time to get used to everything, but that’s part of the adventure and, most of all, employment. So, much like the Chinese New Year that I am lucky enough to be part of, I am just looking forward to a fresh start and a new journey in China. 17．What can we know about the author from the first two paragraphs? A．He has no interest in Chinese traditions. B．He knows nothing about the Latin language. C．His late arrival made him miss beginners’ Chinese classes. D．The unique way of Chinese writing made him hard to understand Chinese. 18．What does the author want to show through his taxi experience? A．He is poor at using public transport. B．He finds it easy to call a taxi in China. C．He feels pleased to have made progress in Chinese. D．He is good at chatting with the taxi driver. 19．What is the author’s present expectation? A．To settle down in China. B．To become a famous host on TV. C．To broaden his cultural horizons. D．To be an excellent teaching assistant. 20．Which can be the best title for the text? A．Exploring Chinese: valuable skills mastered B．Learning Chinese; adventurous but enjoyable C．Coming to China: more opportunities promised D．Studying in China: challenging but rewarding Passage 6 （24-25高二上·安徽宣城·期末） After bouncing around through various gigs since the age of 18, Luo Xikun has finally landed his dream job - flying drones in Shenzhen. Now 31, Luo has already participated in the development and testing of 18 drone express delivery routes for Meituan, a leading Chinese e-commerce platform. Luo started as a kitchen assistant, and later became a food deliveryman at Meituan. While working, the young man kept studying in pursuit of a bachelor’s degree. Curious about mechanical devices since childhood, Luo had always hoped to find a job related to mechanical operation. He decided to give it a shot to fulfill his longstanding dream when Meituan started to recruit drone pilots among the company’s food deliverymen in April 2022. After more than a month of intensive theoretical and practical training, he passed the professional exam on drone piloting and was then selected to be an emergency drone pilot for Meituan amid fierce competition. With accumulated drone delivery experience, Luo recently transferred to a new position focusing on the drone flight test and new route exploration, which led him to a fantastic place - the Great Wall. On Aug 16, Beijing launched its first drone logistics (物流) delivery route in the Badaling section of the Great Wall, which enables tourists to receive summer relief items and emergency supplies within minutes. A single trip to the spot used to take around 50 minutes on foot. Before the launch, Luo and his colleagues spent half a month conducting surveys on the route. Every morning, he started climbing the Great Wall at 6 or 7, taking about 40 minutes to reach the preplanned drone landing site to commence his work. To Luo, it is “a challenging but exciting experience”. Luo says that the Great Wall reflects the wisdom and greatness of ancient Chinese, and today’s sci-tech advancement allows people to experience the Great Wall with greater convenience. “I feel particularly proud of it,” he adds. Eyeing the skies, Luo is “full of expectations”, and keen to tap new chances of the growing low-altitude economy. 21．What did Luo Xikun do before working as a drone pilot for Meituan?

Passage 7 （23-24高二上·皖中联盟·期末） Born on March 21, 1958, in Louisiana, Grant Cardone is not a typical celebrity. He didn’t come from a wealthy family. He’s not a Hollywood superstar, nor does he have some amazing talents, like script-writing, politics or athleticism. However, what he has is something that is available to us all, and that is a determination to succeed. At the age of 25, Cardone took the first job that he could find. That job was as a car salesman. It was a title and a position that Grant was not very fond of. However, the economy was slow, which meant he didn’t have many options, so he made it work. Cardone was committed to becoming the best salesperson he could be. So, he invested (投资) heavily in his own self-improvement by reading books and studying his craft and his industry. After committing himself to becoming his very best, his income quickly doubled. And soon thereafter, he became one of the best car salesmen in the country. He eventually moved on to running his own business, and was extremely smart and disciplined (自律的) with his money. Cardone only spent money on what was absolutely necessary for food and housing. He would place anything left over into an investment fund just for the property market. Cardone’s focus on learning more so that he could earn more, along with having the discipline to invest his extra money, instead of wasting it on useless things, helped him become a self-made millionaire just five years later by the age of 30. Cardone has since gone on to become a well-known international businessman, speaker and the owner of Cardone Capital, a $ 1.5 billion investment firm. He’s authored the New York Times bestselling books If You’re Not First, You’re Last, and other famous books like The 10X Rule, and Axiom Award winning Sell or Be Sold. In addition to this, he also founded Cardone University, a popular sales training platform that has over 50,000,000 and growing users.

In Tel Aviv, that’s exactly what happened. Instead of taking advantage of the situation, customers treated the shop like a “self-checkout” store taking charge and operating the register themselves. The incident occurred on a Friday night, the store’s peak shopping hours. The cashier who was tasked with operating the register fell ill suddenly and was rushed to hospital. The owner, Shiko Altid, didn’t find out that the store was unstaffed for an entire hour, until one customer called the shop’s security, who updated the owner Altid. On hearing about the incident, Altid immediately checked the security cameras, expecting to see a mess with tens of thousands of products scattered (散乱的) throughout the store. But what he saw surprised him—just minutes after the cashier left, the customers began to deal with the products themselves. “Two or three customer took charge, helping each other with items,” Altid recalled. “Every time the cash drawer opened, they quickly shut it to avoid any misunderstandings or theft. They even gave each other the correct change from the register. It was amazing. We later checked both the registers and the cameras, and nothing was missing! No one left without paying. I was in shock—this was Friday night in the center of Tel Aviv, with the store completely open. It could have been a disaster.” Later, Altid put up a sign in his store, reading. “We’d appreciate it if those who were at the register could contact us so we can express our thanks properly and reward your efforts.” However, only one customer—the one who had been in touch with security—reached out to Altid and received a thank-you voucher (代金券).

Passage 2 （24-25高二上·安徽临泉·期末） When Stanford University student Ellen Xu, now 18, was a five-year-old in San Diego, California, she clearly remembers that her parents rushed her little sister to the hospital. Three-year-old Kate had fallen seriously ill; she had a fever, reddened eyes, and some swelling (肿胀) in her hands and tongue. At first, the puzzled doctors thought she had flu, but when her condition didn’t improve, the Xus returned to the clinic room, where a doctor by chance had a similar earlier experience with such symptoms (症状) in the blood known as Kawasaki disease. Though rare (罕见的), it’s the leading cause of the heart disease in babies and young children, and its causes remain unknown. The doctor knew how to treat it: He ordered some medicine for Kate, and finally she shook off the illness without suffering damage to her heart. Xu remembers being curious about her sister’s illness condition and was amazed that the grown-ups couldn’t answer her questions about why it was so hard to check. “In my mind, it was this puzzle I wanted to solve, ” she says. Ten years later, wanting to enter a high school science fair, she had an idea. What if we had a doctor in our pocket? So she created just that: Using AI, Xu designed a program that uses visual facts to check the disease based on five physical symptoms. The technology works the same way as apps that can identify birds and plants with photos you’ve taken on your cellphone. Worried parents can upload a photo that they have taken of their child, and the technology will scan the picture for symptoms of the disease, which often have a strong visual factors, such as a swollen tongue. Xu’s invention has been applied as a web app on the website. “The technology could also be developed for recognizing some other diseases,” she says, “It means a lot to me. I want to use AI to help people live happier and healthier lives.” Xu says that her sister Kate, now in her third year of high school with dreams of becoming an environmental engineer, is strong and healthy. 33．Why did the author mention Kate’s illness?

Passage 3 （23-24高二上·安徽马鞍山·期末） When Joseph Novetske finished raking (清理) leaves in his backyard a few weeks ago, he suddenly stopped. “I happened to look at my hand. No ring,” said Novetske, 80, who lives in Charlotte, Michigan, with his wife, Mary Ann. His handmade gold wedding ring, which he wore for 42 years, had gone missing. Worried, he began to look for it. The couple searched the yard with no luck and it was getting dark. “I was feeling a little hopeless,” said Mary Ann Novetske, 71. The following morning on Nov. 5, she posted in a private Facebook group called “What’s happening in Charlotte, Michigan now.” “Does anyone have a metal detector (探测器)?” she wrote in a post, explaining what had happened. Shortly after sharing the post, Mary Ann Novetske had dozens of responses on her post. That afternoon, eight people showed up at their home, five of whom were strangers, and the other three were neighbors, to look for the ring. A few of them had brought metal detectors. They searched the large backyard. It was filled with several tall piles (堆) of leaves Joseph Novetske had raked the day before. “They didn’t know us, but here they were,” said Mary Ann Novetske. “It was exciting to see so many people care about this.” Her husband was also touched. “We love community,” he said. When the search had hit hour three, the group collectively began working on a pile of leaves at the back of the yard. Then Joseph Novetske saw something shiny. “I saw the ring shining because it was a beautiful sunny day,” he said. “There it was!” The searchers were overjoyed. While losing the ring was stressful, the couple said that finding it filled them with hope. “It was a community hunt,” said Lisa Delcamp, who lives next door to the Novetskes. “We should lend a hand and be willing to step in when our neighbors are in need.” 37．What happened to Joseph a few weeks ago?

But Bradley does have lots to say now about his special experience at a resort in the picturesque tropical coastal city of Sanya in South China's Hainan province. The 33-year-old Australian is actually a student in international relations completing his PhD through Griffith University. He came to Beijing for a cooperative research at Peking University less than two years ago. Such an academic life was just added color with a chance offered by the cultural exchanges project, "I'm in China". "What I liked most about the experience was it was something completely different that you would never be able to do as a regular tourist," Bradley said in an interview. Bradley was chosen to work as a recreational manager for a Chinese wedding. The film crew took them to many "amazing sites" and the staff at the resort taught them a lot about how to "incorporate modern Chinese features while still keeping traditional customs", Bradley said. "I would have to say two things stick out as the most memorable: the helicopter ride and talking with the staff at the hotel about how they organize weddings here in China," he said. That was Bradley's first time to be in a helicopter, and he was too absorbed with the "stunning" view of the beautiful coastline. "I think it is so important to show other Australians the different landscapes China has to offer. I think so many Australians, when they think about China, imagine the historical sites of Beijing and the exciting things to see in Shanghai but have no idea about other beautiful places, like Sanya or the many other places people have been taken to in this TV series," Bradley said. "I'm in China" is a project sponsored by China Intercontinental Communication Centre and other institutions under the guidance of China's State Council Information Office. It invites foreign natives worldwide to experience unique jobs and participate in activities that one can find nowhere else except in China. More than 10,000 photos and articles were submitted from around the globe by over 6,00 applicants. 1．Bradley actually is ________. A．an Australian PhD student B．a regular Australian tourist C．a recreational manager D．an Australian diplomat 2．What does the underlined word "incorporate" in paragraph 4 mean? A．get rid of B．take advantage of C．take in D．keep off 3．What impressed Bradley most? A．The beautiful scenery of Sanya and special activities. B．Flying in a helicopter and organizing Chinese wedding. C．The historical sites of Beijing and the exciting things in Shanghai. D．Chinese traditional customs and many amazing sites. 4．From the last paragraph, we can infer that the project "I'm in China" is ________. A．unique but unattractive to foreigners B．special but helpless to know about China C．uninteresting and rejected by foreigners D．unique and popular with foreigners Passage 2 （23-24高二上·合肥一中·期末） Looking back, Geoff Banks of Devon, England can hardly even remember how he first started writing to his American friend, Celesta Byrne. Geoff and Celesta were given each other’s names and addresses as part of a school pen pal program back in 1938. They’re both now 100 years old, and a lot has changed in the past 84 years: their age changed ;their appearance changed; but one thing has not—they still use the traditional way to contact. “I honestly struggle to remember something, but I was talking to Celesta recently and I think it was something to do with an American school’s scheme,” Geoff said,” They matched us up with Americans for a pen pal relationship, and somehow I ended up with this letter from an American girl, and we’ve just kept corresponding (通信) ever since.” Geoff and Celesta’s relationship never turned romantic, but they shared a lot over the decades. They kept up their correspondence through World War II, sending updates about their families, friends, and work. In 2002, they finally got a chance to meet in person during a trip to New York City. Two years later, they met up again, but ever since then they’ve gone back to pen and paper. Recently, they’ve switched to digital forms of communication to stay in touch. Their children have helped them set up email accounts. “I’ve known this new thing called Zoom, I think, now to chat with her, but I leave all the technology to younger people. Deep down, I refuse to use Zoom. Writing to Celesta has been a source of great satisfaction for me over the years,” said Geoff. Celesta says their relationship is “like people who live next door”. “You know how they’re doing, you say a few words, and then you both go to work,” she explained. “She’s always been there to write to, even if it was just birthday cards and Christmas cards.” Geoff added. 5．What do Geoff and Celesta insist on doing over the 80 years? A．Sending cards. B．Writing to each other. C．Enjoying telling jokes. D．Struggling to remember things. 6．What do Geoff Banks’ words in Paragraph 3tell us? A．When they ran a scheme.

He swatted (重拍) at the fly, but it did not move. He reached out to touch the insect, only to find it was only wet paint. Turning around, he saw that his apprentice (学徒), Giotto, was laughing. Giotto had painted the fly when Cimabue was away, and it looked so real that Cimabue had been completely fooled. Giotto di Bondone was born into a poor family in a village. Legend has it that one day, when Cimabue was wandering around the countryside, he spotted a young shepherd boy drawing pictures of his sheep, which were so vivid that Cimabue immediately asked him to come to Florence and learn how to paint. That was how Giotto’s story began in Florence, where the young student flourished under Cimabue s instruction and soon surpassed his master in skill. At that time, people in paintings didn’t look real, and the symbolism of art was difficult for viewers to connect with it. Innovation (创新) was not stressed, so art had remained the same for hundreds of years. However, Giotto thought art should be something more connected with people in a more realistic way. His masterpieces included the forty major frescoes (壁画) for the Arena Chapel. Adopting many techniques that were uncommon then, he painted people the way he saw them, instead of the overly tall and boxy people that other artists painted. He created three-dimensional space by using perspective, something that had not been done since Roman times. In addition to painting, Giotto wrote poetry and drew architectural plans. When Giotto was in his sixties, he painted the Ognissanti Madomma, another famous work of art. He continued working until the age of seventy. The ideas Giotto brought to painting throughout his life revolutionized the art world and made him one of the greatest painters ever. 13．What does the anecdote in paragraph 1 tell us about Giotto?

Cai Kaiyuan,21, made a different choice. As a graduation gift to himself, he decided to work as a volunteer teacher in a remote village in Xizang. Cai, a senior majoring in electrical engineering at Huan Railway Professional Technology College, originally planned to cycle from Sichuan to Xizang. During his journey, Cai’s idea for a different graduation gift to himself began to take shape. “I did not know beforehand what the journey would mean to me. I just want to gain a unique experience and have pleasure in appreciating the view there,” he said. It turned out that cycling on a plateau (高原) was extremely challenging. And it has kept changing his view on life. Cai’s fingers even became frostbitten while cycling up a 5008-metre-high mountain, where temperatures often dropped to 18 below zero. At night, the ice covered the road and he fell off his bike three times. The lack of oxygen made him feel dizzy and weak. “At the most serious moment, I felt that my life was on the line,” said Cai. However, he also gained something unexpected. At Ya’an, a city in Sichuan, he met a group of tourists who were also university students. A girl called Wu Ling told him that she planned to work as a teacher in a primary school in Xizang after her journey. He was impressed by the idea as she looked thin and weak. It was not until he reached a family-run hotel in Shigatse that Cai’s spirits began to rise. The hotel manager’s two daughters enjoyed talking with him. The kids asked about his experiences on his trip, and showed him the beautiful local lakes. “They told me that they always liked to talk to guests, as they wanted to improve their Mandarin,” he said. “Their parents and many locals can only speak Tibetan. ” Cai was touched by the girls’story. Their situation is tough and the local people have little chance to learn Mandarin because the schools are short of teachers. “I want to do something to improve the situation for kids like them,” said Cai. His parents finally gave their agreement and his teachers also supported him. 17．According to the passage, Cai Kaiyuan’s graduation gift to himself is ______.

All of them, however, are part of one team: the Skid Row Running Club in Los Angeles (L.A.). Twice a week, before the sun comes up, Judge Craig Mitchell runs the mile from his office at the county courthouse to The Midnight Mission, a social services organization centered in Downtown’s Skid Row — the well-known area where the city’s largest homeless population lives. At the organization, he meets a group of 30 to 40 people and together they run through East L. A．The group includes runners from all walks of life and all levels of athleticism. Some members are homeless or in recovery, and others are lawyers, social workers or students. Mitchell developed the program in 2012 after a man he’d once sentenced to prison returned to thank him. “He was paroled (假释) to The Midnight Mission and decided to come back and said ‘Thank you, Judge Mitchell, for treating me like a human being.’ The president of the organization at the time asked me if there was something that I could do to contribute to the organization, and I thought of starting a running club. That was the inception,” Mitchell said. Every year, Mitchell takes his most devoted Skid Row runners on a free trip to participate in an international marathon. “I come back to the courthouse after any run and check off who is there. And so, I know exactly who has been faithful to the running program and who just comes once in a while,” he said. Mitchell says he’s seen some participants turn their lives around, attending college, securing full-time employment and possessing calmness. “Running is a way for the participants to build relationships,” he said. “You can be an amazing runner and benefit as much as our fast runners, because at the end of the day you’re going to be surrounded by people who really care about you and want to spend time with you. Everybody is welcome. We believe. We listen. We support.” 25．What can we learn about the Skid Row Running Club? A．It was set up to make a profit. B．It consists of all sorts of members.

I was so excited that I did a countdown every single day leading up to move in day at the university. However, just a few weeks after I got there, I found it very difficult to adapt to a different country, culture, and a strict curriculum. I knew studying in a foreign university was going to be hard, but the first exam still shocked — me I got a 58%, the lowest in my life. Worse still, since my day-to-day experiences and interests were so different from the American students’, I was struggling to make friends. I felt like a complete loser and kept thinking maybe I should just give up. But then it occurred to me that I was not studying just for myself, but to live up to my family’s expectations. Having made up my mind to push myself forward, I came up with a plan to make improvements. The plan was not only about study, but also about my eating and leisure time. I also planned weekly goals on how to make friends, such as “you will talk to someone at the dining hall, and you will not be scared!” Looking back, I find it was definitely embarrassing to plan my days like this, but I did it and made it. I was able to interact with others without looking like an outsider and even made some friends. I even began to teach others about my country, Panama. I told them about typical cultural differences between Panama and the US. It was really exciting to see them eager to learn more about my country. Now I am a senior, confident, strong and smart. My freshman-year self is extremely proud of how far I have come. The coming graduation surely makes me sad, but I’m sure it’s not the ending, but the beginning of the many more goals I will accomplish. 29．How did the author feel after entering college? A．Thrilled.
