专题04 阅读理解（记叙文） 主题01 人与社会——公共服务与人际沟通 Passage 1 （24-25高一上·浙江杭州杭二·期末） My initial exploration of the world of comic books happened through the comic strips (连环漫画) in newspapers. It began with a fondness for Garfield and his adventures, and led to the discovery of a range of comic books like Champak, Tintin, and Archie. They enabled me to enjoy myself in a world without iPads and the Internet — just like so many of my friends who were fond of reading. While my access to comics as a child was limited to what was printed in the newspaper, this changed once I grew older and started visiting bookstores to buy the books that I wanted to read. Having grown up on a diet of image-heavy books, I found the idea of reading text-only novels quite formidable. As I searched for books that lay somewhere in between, I came across a copy of Bhimayana — a graphic novel. It felt familiar due to its comic-like theme and design. Plus, understanding complex stories through pictures was relatively easier and more fun. And so, as I grew older, I found myself turning to graphic novels from childish comic books. Graphic novels dealt with serious topics in a more engaging manner. They would literally show me what was going on. For example, when I was reading Joe Sacco’s Palestine, I didn’t have to imagine the ruin caused by the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. I could actually see it while reading about it. Fast-forward a few years to when I was given a copy of Jonathan Bloomfield’s Palestine: A Novel. Though I was impressed by the compelling (扣人心弦的) nature of storytelling in his book, I am not sure if I would have been able to visualize and enjoy his text-only version so much had I not read Sacco’s Palestine first. Thanks to the graphic novel, I had a “picture” of whatever had happened, and that made it easier and more fun to understand the details of the whole story. While my romance with comic books is still ongoing, in the long run, my love for graphic novels is much stronger and here to stay. 1．Why did the author start reading comic books as a child? A．He found comic books interesting. B．He couldn’t go to bookstores. C．He wanted to be different from his friends. D．He had limited access to other books. 2．Which word can best explain the underlined word “formidable” in paragraph 2? A．Acceptable. B．Natural. C．Difficult. D．Interesting. 3．What does the author say about reading Sacco’s Palestine? A．It changed his attitude to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. B．It made his understanding of Bloomfield’s book easier. C．It encouraged him to read more text-only novels. D．It prepared him to write in a more serious way. 4．What does the author mainly talk about in the passage? A．Comic books are more an just pictures. B．Why he loves reading graphic novels. C．Why he turned to serious novels eventually. D．Picture books are here to stay for many reasons. Passage 2 (23-24高一上·浙江丽水·期末) Eleven-year-old Ruby has a unique hobby—making wishes come true for nursing home residents in Harrison, Arkansas. Inspired by her mother’s work as a nurse, Ruby accompanied her mother to the nursing homes during the summer and has developed a close bond with the elderly residents. One day, Ruby noticed a resident named Pearl looking sad while staring out of a window. When she asked what was wrong, Pearl explained that she had seen her dog being taken away, and she didn’t know when she would see her beloved pet again. It broke Ruby’s heart, and she decided to take action. She began asking the residents what three things they wanted most in the world. To her surprise, their requests were simple—chocolate bars, McDonald’s fries, and pants that fit properly. Ruby and her mother used their own money to achieve the wishes of around 100 residents within three months. Soon, they started receiving donations from the kind-hearted people of Harrison. Encouraged by the overwhelming response, they set up a GoFundMe page called “Three Wishes for Ruby’s Residents” to collect $5,000. They reached their goal within a month. When GoFundMe recognized Ruby as a Kid Hero and shared her story worldwide, donations poured in. In just 24 hours, they raised $20,000, and within five months, the total surpassed $250,000. With these funds, they were able to grant(准予)more creative wishes, such as creating a man cave for one resident with a Walkman and snacks, and providing financial assistance for another resident to attend an out-of-state wedding. Motivated by their success, Three Wishes for Ruby’s Residents became a nonprofit organization and expanded nationwide. Their new goal is to set up a shared laptop in at least one nursing home in each state. Ruby’s passion for kindness drives her to continue her efforts, and her acts of kindness serve as a reminder that even small gestures can make a big difference in someone’s life. 1．What inspired Ruby to achieve nursing home residents’ wishes?

Passage 3 (23-24高一上·浙江台州·期末) At six o’clock sharp the curtain rises at Southside Cultural Center, in Reno. Two hundred audience members, including the mayor of Reno, look to the stage. Dozens of actors break out into the first number of The Lion King. But this is not your typical production. The gifted cast is made up of homeless children living at the Volunteers of America family shelter in Reno. The children have been given a chance to live their dreams onstage, thanks to volunteer acting coach Nasya Mancini. “I see so much of myself in these kids,” says Nasya. “I tell them their current circumstance doesn’t have to be their destiny (命运) . If they are determined, they can do anything they want.” Determination is something Nasya knows all about. She was born prematurely and was given little chance of survival. But Nasya kept fighting. Her very name means “miracle” in Hebrew. Nasya was small, but quickly proved that her talents were as big as her will to survive. She started dancing at two. By six she’d been spotted by an acting coach, who encouraged her parents to enroll her in drama classes. “There was something about being onstage,” Nasya says. “It made my spirit come alive.” She decided that she was going to be an actor. However, her enthusiasm didn’t sit well with some of her schoolmates. They teased (嘲) her, “You’re a shrimp. You’re not even pretty.” Nasya came home in tears. Her mother hugged her and told her to ignore it. By high school, Nasya was winning awards in theater competitions. She also provided community service by teaching drama to the children at the shelter. Nasya wanted the kids at the shelter to discover the confidence that acting could give. The best way to do that, she decided, was to put on a big play. The production was a hit. The kids took several curtain calls. Donations to the shelter rolled in. Nasya reminds the kids of something she knows with every part of her spirit to be true: “Believe in yourself. The world is your stage.” 1．What was special about the play The Lion King?

B．Rising from Shelter to Stage. C．The Lion King Is Roaring Back. D．Sharing Her Dream with Homeless Teens. Passage 4 (23-24高一上·浙江嘉兴·期末) The 13-year-old Life Scout named Jonathan in Troop 506 is pioneering new ways to perform acts of kindness. Like many troops, 506 sells popcorn each fall to raise money. In 2019, while still a Cub Scout, Jonathan watched as kids who’d made $1,800 or more in sales walked across a stage to receive a Lego set as a prize. “I really want that Lego set,” he said. The next year, he successfully got his Legos. However, Troop 506 not only provides Lego sets but also contributes a percentage of their sales in the form of gift cards for Scouting-related activities. Encouraged, Jonathan spent the next few years developing a surprising sale skill. The year 2021 saw him achieve impressive sales of $46,193.75, making him a top seller in the nation and bringing him $5,000 worth in Amazon cards, He might have spent it on himself, but he had other ideas. Popcorn season closes in late November, and the holidays were on his mind—particularly the stories his father had told him about his own days in foster care. “They don’t really have Christmas,” Jonathan said. With $5,000, he could bring Christmas to a lot of kids. With the help of his mother, he made his way to the social services offices. Anyone else might have simply sent in the money and felt they’d done enough. Not Jonathan. He requested information about each kid, including age, gender and interests. He changed from a big seller to a big spender, personally choosing gifts for dozens of kids, like a Santa. “The most worthwhile thing,” he said, “is to try to put happiness into the lives of others.” 1．What encouraged Jonathan to improve his selling techniques? A．The Lego set to be received as a prize. B．The money to be raised by selling popcorn. C．The cards that could be gained to buy goods. D．The praise that a sales champion would win. 2．Why is Jonathan’s father mentioned in paragraph 4? A．To explain why Jonathan had other ideas. B．To show how his father’s story impressed him. C．To compare lifestyles of two different generations. D．To provide information about Jonathan’s childhood. 3．Which of the following can best describe Jonathan? A．Outgoing and selfless. B．Brave and smart. C．Thoughtful and caring. D．Gifted and honest. 4．What can be a suitable title for the text? A．A Scout Helps in Social Service Offices B．A Scout Sells a Record Amount of Popcorn C．A Scout Changes from a Seller to a Spender D．A Scout Plays Santa for Kids in Foster Care 主题02 人与自我——生活与学习 Passage 1 (24-25高一上·浙江杭州·期末) One day in elementary school, a friend asked me “What are you eating?” as she glanced at my lunchbox. “It smells,” she said, nose crinkled. I was eating bhindi roti, my favorite Indian snack, which my mom had packed for me. But feeling embarrassed for having a “smelly” lunch and wanting to fit in, I quietly shut my lunchbox. That day, I went hungry. Most days after that, lunchtime at school felt like a battle. If I wasn’t trying to hide my lunch or sneak quick bites when no one was looking, I’d insist on bringing in the same peanut-butter-and-jelly sandwich as the other kids. My mom, who didn’t grow up eating American food, tried her best, but the sandwiches never looked, or tasted, as good as the food I devoured at home. I didn’t know that I wasn’t alone. Many kids with immigrant parents encounter (遭遇) what’s known as “the lunchbox moment” at school: the experience of being judged for bringing in food considered culturally different and so being made to feel like an outsider. For this article, I talked with kids who could relate. But they also surprised me: They dealt with “the lunchbox moment” differently than I did. For example, Satya Singh, 6, who takes her mom’s Indian cooking to lunch most days, told me that one day a classmate said that her aloo, or potatoes, looked like poop. Another time, someone said that the dal, or lentils, looked like “throw up”. The next day, Satya brought enough dal to share with her entire class — and they loved it. From then on, she says, “My teacher at school made a rule: Don’t yuck someone’s yum.” Looking back, I wish I’d had the wisdom of Satya and offered my friend a bite of my lunch, or just told her it was delicious — especially because now, as an adult, I see that Indian food is universally loved by my friends. Some even try to cook Indian lentils or chickpeas at home! And when I’m hungry, guess what? I miss my mom’s bhindi roti and her care in making it for me. Food is an expression of culture, tradition, family and love. And that’s something to celebrate, not hide. 1．Why did the writer go hungry one day in elementary school? A．She did like her smelly lunch. B．Her classmates ate up her bhindi roti. C．Her mom didn’t prepare lunch for her. D．She skipped her lunch to fit in with others. 2．The word “devoured” in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ________. A．cooked B．tasted C．ate quickly and eagerly D．prepared 3．What does the author want to tell us? A．Food is something to celebrate, not hide. B．Never should you yuck someone’s yum in any case. C．Indian food is delicious and universally appreciated. D．The lunchbox moment is when one can taste different foods. Passage 2 (24-25高一上·浙江杭州学军·期末) My parents bought a house in Verona, New Jersey, in 1946 when I was 5. My sister, Merry, was born two years later. Our house was set far back from the road. It felt safe and adventurous with a big back yard and suburban wildlife. The main attraction for me, by far, was the massive tree in the front yard, which rose higher than I could see. We called it Old Oak. An arborist (树艺师) who checked Old Oak for my parents after the snowstorm of 1947 had pronounced it 300 years old. Playing beneath Old Oak, my best friend, Justine, and I made toy horses. From Old Oak’s lowest branch, my dad hung a wooden board on a chain for a swing. The back-and-forth motion of the swing and rhythmic clicking of the chain comforted me. I’d lie under the green umbrella, admiring Old Oak’s height — my protector. Time passed. I was swinging less under the tree and more on the dance floor. Long after my father sold the house, Merry and I visited Old Oak when attending Verona High reunions. Justine called last October. A new owner had bought the property and taken down the tree. I found the real estate (房产) photo. In front of the house lay two huge lengths of trunk. I’d have to act fast to get a piece for Merry and me. The agent involved in the sale said that he would try to talk with the new owner. However, that attempt failed. Then I turned to John Zelenka, an artful arborist, for help. Fortunately, he sent photos of the remaining trunk pieces, contacted the owner, and suggested slices for my woodworking hobbyist son in New Hampshire. On a cold April morning, my husband and I met Zelenka to examine the pieces he’d cut after transporting the trunk. I couldn’t call Merry fast enough. She was excited. Trees give us such gifts from flowers to shade. My relationship with Old Oak has taken on a new form. 1．What do we know about Old Oak? A．It witnessed the author’s birth. B．It failed to survive a snowstorm. C．It was located at the side of a road. D．It was a tall, centuries-old tree. 2．Why did Justine call the author last October? A．To report an incident about Old Oak. B．To inquire about the author’s property. C．To recall their days spent under Old Oak.

C．She decided to start a whole new life. D．She made wooden works out of the pieces. 4．What’s the writing purpose of the text? A．To detail the process of reusing a fallen tree. B．To explore how trees symbolize family traditions. C．To emphasize the importance of protecting ancient trees. D．To share a heartfelt personal experience with a beloved tree. 主题03 人与自我——做人与做事 Passage 1 （24-25高一上·浙江宁波九校·期末） A “bucket list” is a personal list of goals and activities someone wants to accomplish before the end of their life. Fortunately, I’ve been able to check off quite a lot of mine. It was after the loss of several loved ones that I decided to make my bucket list so that, when I reflect on my life, I’ll smile and know that I grabbed every chance at happiness that I could. I’ve achieved some of the things on my bucket list — hiking the Plank Road in the Sky on Mount Huashan in Shaanxi province; diving off the highest platform of 15 meters into the sea at Ariel’s Point in Boracay, the Philippines; doing the world’s highest commercial bungee jump at 233 meters off Macao Tower in the Macao Special Administrative Region; octopus fishing in the Yellow Sea off South Korea; and much more. The top item on my bucket list, however, is much more difficult to achieve. Being adopted from South Korea to the United States in 1976,I have been searching for my biological parents for the past several years. I can’t help but worry that they may not still be living.But having this item at the top of my list urges me to keep trying and I’m planning to visit Seoul in October to continue the search. When I’ve talked about my bucket list to some friends, the feedback I’ve received from them is that it seems “a bit abnormal”. Like, if you have a list,you’re thinking about your death way too early. As you get older,the list may change.And that’s OK.Whether it includes visiting certain countries, getting in better physical shape, buying a particular item or just spending more time with loved ones,there is no wrong way to do a bucket list.Your list can include short-term goals, once-in-a-lifetime experiences or just personal goals.It can give a boost to your motivation and force you to take breaks when you might not otherwise think of doing so.

Passage 2 （24-25高一上·浙江温州·期末） With two Olympic medals and two world skateboarding titles, 16-year-old Rayssa Leal has achieved what most people dream of, Her skills, paired with the joys she shows in skateparks, have brought her fans as well as public attention. But instead of talent and hard work, she shared that her support system made a big difference in landing her a medal at Paris 2024. At the close of the run section of the eight-woman final, Leal had failed to put down a single clean line, lowering her hope of a top three finish. She knew the game wasn’t over, but the already heavy stress on Leal’s shoulders doubled in weight. “After I screwed up the two runs, I thought I was not going to be able to do it anymore.” Leal related her experience.

In fact, the 28-year-old lives a very different existence from his colleagues. He gives away everything he earns over £42,000–a figure that he thought he could comfortably live on. Over the past five years, Reece-Smith has handed over more than £250,000 to organizations such as International Care Ministries, which helps poor families in the Philippines, and the Against Malaria Foundation. He is part of a growing number of young professionals described as “effective altruists”. Effective altruists typically donate regularly to a charity which they think will have a great impact (影响). Some change careers to make more money, which can then be given away. Reece-Smith considered working in the charity sector after graduating from university, but thought that he could make a bigger difference by donating a large part of his salary. He had volunteered as a teacher at a school in Tanzania, but then realized that earning and giving would be more effective. “The cost of my flights there could have paid the salaries of two teachers for an entire year,” he says. Instead, he could “stay at home, living a nice life and still make a huge difference in the world”. He is not mean with money-last year he went to Cuba on holiday, and spent several thousand pounds on a new sofa. But his lifestyle isn’t as luxurious as some of the people he works with. “I usually don’t buy supermarket-branded food products, but I don’t own a car. Other people on my salary might have a bigger house. Some of my colleagues have four-bedroom houses, but we only bought what we needed-a two-bedroom flat.£42,000 is more than enough to live on and still save,” he says. 1．How much money does Grayden spend on donation every year? A．Less than £42,000. B．Over £100.000. C．£50,000. D．Any income over £42,000. 2．What may an “effective altruist” do according to the text? A．Donate to impactful charities. B．Make more money to enjoy lives. C．Create a good public image. D．Enter a teaching profession. 3．Why did Grayden decide to donate money but not work in the charity sector? A．To access his inner life. B．To create a stronger effect. C．To give away all of his salary. D．To be a teacher at a school. 4．What can be inferred about Grayden from the text? A．He leads an expensive lifestyle. B．He buys food produced by supermarkets. C．He lives in a four-bedroom house. D．He balances his life and donation. Passage 2 (23-24高一上·浙江杭州·期末) Naturalist Enzo Suma, who is now 40, lives in Puglia, a region in southern Italy whose long coastline faces the Adriatic Sea. Floating waste accumulates in this relatively enclosed part of the Mediterranean, unlike the open ocean, where the waste tends to be spread over a vast area. Feeling concerned about that, Suma makes it a habit to pick up the washed-up waste along the shore, especially after big winter storms. One day, Suma was walking along the beach near his home when he discovered a bottle of Coke. Suma noticed on the bottle that the price, clearly printed on the bottom, was in lire, a currency (货币) that hadn’t been used in Italy since it was replaced by the euro in 2002. Could a plastic container have well survived in the Mediterranean, he wondered, for about two decades? That led him to found the Archeoplastica museum. It has a collection of about 500 unique pieces recovered from Italian shores and the Coke bottle is the first one of them. All collection demonstrates the unsettling life force of plastic waste in the environment. “Seeing that a product people may have used 30, 40, or 50 years ago remains still unchanged, you’ll feel different. It’s a great shock,” Suma said to a reporter. So Suma often exhibits selected pieces from the Archeoplastica collection at local schools around his hometown of Ostuni. “The playful side of the work allows you to arrive at the less beautiful side of things,” Suma acknowledged. “Plastic is a kind of useful substance. But it’s unthinkable that a water bottle, made from a material designed to last so long, can be used for just a few days—or even minutes—before becoming garbage. Clean the beaches. Clean the oceans. Recycle. But if we are still throwing out plastics, none of those are going to be long-term solutions.” 1．What’s Suma’s concern about his living place? A．Its long coastline is disappearing. B．Big storms frequently hit the area. C．Floating waste spreads over a vast area. D．The waste pollution on shore is worsening. 2．What can be learned about the objects in the Archeoplastica museum? A．They have a history of more than half a century. B．They were quite valuable before turning into waste. C．They’re more like educational exhibits than garbage. D．They have stronger life force than ordinary plastic products. 3．Which of the following can best describe Enzo Suma? A．Creative, devoted and socially responsible. B．Enthusiastic, ambitious and adventurous. C．Generous, cautious and humorous. D．Curious, efficient and playful. 4．What does Suma intend to tell us by his words in the last paragraph? A．The birth of plastics has greatly served humans. B．The key to tackling the plastic pollution is to stop littering. C．The plastic problem can be solved by cleaning and recycling. D．People should be more aware of the powerful functions of plastics. 主题02 人与自我——生活与学习 Passage 1 (23-24高一上·浙江宁波·期末) For as long as I can remember, I’ve had animals in my life. These days, there are four small companions: three dogs and an eight-year-old brown Burmese cat called Soo. I love them all dearly and they are the best company possible. They greet me warmly each time I come home, never complain and never get angry or argue with me. I have, though, discovered recently, after all these years of never being without a pet, there are unexpected risks of living with animals. This year, I’ve spent four weeks in hospital, thanks to the cat. I felt such a fool telling the doctors that the terrible bruising (擦伤) and growing lump (肿块) in the middle of my right foot was due to my cat misbehaving. It was a Sunday night. I’d had friends for lunch and was in the kitchen clearing up. I’d emptied and washed a heavy glass ashtray (烟灰缸), which I’d placed on the side. Soo knows she’s not allowed on the kitchen surfaces. Yet, she jumped up, marched towards the ashtray, and knocked it off. I like to think she didn’t know my foot was directly in her line of fire, but it was. I cried with pain. I couldn’t see any obvious wound and the ashtray survived the fall. I thought nothing more of it. I’ve never seen such bruising as appeared the next day, but I carried on. I had work to do. It wasn’t too painful and surely the bruising would go away eventually. I carried on like that for a couple of weeks until a visit from my son, who thought the lump had grown and could be infected, so demanded I take a trip to the hospital. As for forgiveness, there’s nothing to forgive. It’s my fault the ashtray was too close to the edge. There’ll still be treats and toys prepared for my pets under the Christmas tree. 1．What has the writer found recently about having pets? A．Pets are the best company possible. B．Pets may bring danger to their owners. C．Pets never complain or argue with people. D．Dogs and cats are great pets in people’s life. 2．What was the result of the accident? A．I was grateful to my cat Soo. B．I was made fun of by doctors. C．I only suffered some bruising. D．I stayed in hospital for several weeks. 3．What do we know about the accident? A．My son took my wound more seriously. B．Soo didn’t knock off the ashtray on purpose. C．It happened when I was cooking in the kitchen. D．I took a trip to the hospital right after the accident. 4．Which can best describe the writer’s attitude towards pets? A．Love them all to bits. B．Hate their misbehaviors. C．Understand their feelings. D．Complain about their company. 主题03 人与自我——做人与做事 Passage 1 (23-24高一上·浙江金华·期末) I finally climbed into bed at 1:20 in the morning. My friends had helped me celebrate my 31st birthday in the basement apartment, where I lived. Earlier in the day I had prepared for the unlikely event of a flood. We are about a third of a mile from the banks of the Ahr River. It had been raining buckets that week and the government had sent out a flood warning, though not for where I was. Still, I’d placed sandbags on the floor outside my garden door and put electronics on tables. “Silly bro!” My friends laughed at me for doing that, but I thought, why take a chance? As I drifted off to sleep, I was awakened by the sound of rushing water, as if I were lying beside a waterfall. When I got off the bed, I was shocked that cold water was rising fast. In darkness, I grabbed my cellphone and turned on the flashlight. When I stepped out of the bedroom, I saw water shooting through the gaps of the door. I began to panic. I knew I had to get out—fast! In bare feet, I started to make my way to the only escape: the door that led upstairs to the main floor. Finally I made it to the door and tried several times to-pull it open even just a little bit, but the rushing water shut it again. I looked around for anything I could use to keep it open. There in the corner was a coat rack (架子). I took it and, once again, opened the door, throwing the coat rack between the door and the frame (门框) to keep the door from shutting. Finally, I managed to make a gap just wide enough to squeeze (挤) through and make it into the hallway. I leaped on to the stairs and ran outside. I stood there in the darkness, wet through. What was once a lovely street was now a waterscape, with floating ruins instead of people and cars. The river had drowned (淹没) the neighborhood! 1．What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 2imply? A．Better safe than sorry. B．It never rains but it pours. C．A lost chance never returns. D．A friend in need is a friend indeed. 2．What was the author doing when water flooded in? A．Celebrating his birthday. B．Sleeping in the basement. C．Placing sandbags by the door. D．Playing with electronic devices. 3．Which of the following might be the most difficult for the author during the escape? A．Making his way to the door. B．Finding a coat rack. C．Keeping the door from shutting. D．Squeezing through the gap. 4．How did the author feel when standing on the street? A．Sad and shocked. B．Annoyed and anxious. C．Surprised and disappointed. D．Puzzled and awkward. 主题04 人与自然——环境与生态 Passage 1 (24-25高一上·浙江宁波·期末) As a primary school kid, Armand almost grew up at the campsite with his family. Every holiday, they’d spend a month and a half camping at Leentjiesklip in Langebaan. This is where Armand developed his love for camping. With this camping seed planted so early, he was always curious to explore other places. Three years after graduating from school, Armand bought his first bakkie (箱式轻便货车), a Toyota Cab. Besides camping, Armand also enjoys driving through scenic landscapes. He does this regularly to satisfy his desire to be in nature. His love of nature means he avoids busy places and settles down in quieter places. However, he doesn’t mind if he comes across someone out in the middle of nowhere; they’re likely to share the same interests. Verneukpan, now one of Armand’s favourite camping sites, was next on the schedule — a route that would finally take him past Augrabies, Vioolsdrif, the Richtersveld and Port Nolloth. Armand’s journeys aren’t carefully planned. He simply sets daily goals and refuses the usual routes. “Nothing stops you from hitting the road nice and early. Explore the world and enrich your journey instead of following a preplanned route.” Although Armand mostly camps alone, he’s not completely alone. His sheepdog, Buks, goes along. Buks, Armand’s campsite commander, has a specially-fitted seat on the back seat of the bakkie. When Armand arrives at his destination for the day, he grabs a beer and takes a walk with Buks to explore the surroundings. The camping chairs follow, and then Armand takes in the scenery. “Camping in nature is the perfect escape because it provides peace while refreshing your soul,” says Armand. 1．What made Armand fall in love with camping? A．His wonderful primary school time. B．The seed he planted at the campsite as a kid. C．His curiosity to explore other amazing places. D．The great camping experiences with his family. 2．What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A．Going camping. B．Buying the bakkie. C．Graduating from school. D．Driving through scenic landscapes. 3．Which of the following can best describe Armand? A．Quiet and organized. B．Peaceful and careful. C．Curious and courageous. D．Helpful and interesting. 4．What might be the best title for the passage? A．Armand’s New Life B．Armand’s Love for Camping C．Armand’s Adventures D．Armand’s Camping with Family 21 / 27 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 专题04 阅读理解（记叙文） 主题01 人与社会——公共服务与人际沟通 Passage 1 （24-25高一上·浙江杭州杭二·期末） My initial exploration of the world of comic books happened through the comic strips (连环漫画) in newspapers. It began with a fondness for Garfield and his adventures, and led to the discovery of a range of comic books like Champak, Tintin, and Archie. They enabled me to enjoy myself in a world without iPads and the Internet — just like so many of my friends who were fond of reading. While my access to comics as a child was limited to what was printed in the newspaper, this changed once I grew older and started visiting bookstores to buy the books that I wanted to read. Having grown up on a diet of image-heavy books, I found the idea of reading text-only novels quite formidable. As I searched for books that lay somewhere in between, I came across a copy of Bhimayana — a graphic novel. It felt familiar due to its comic-like theme and design. Plus, understanding complex stories through pictures was relatively easier and more fun. And so, as I grew older, I found myself turning to graphic novels from childish comic books. Graphic novels dealt with serious topics in a more engaging manner. They would literally show me what was going on. For example, when I was reading Joe Sacco’s Palestine, I didn’t have to imagine the ruin caused by the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. I could actually see it while reading about it. Fast-forward a few years to when I was given a copy of Jonathan Bloomfield’s Palestine: A Novel. Though I was impressed by the compelling (扣人心弦的) nature of storytelling in his book, I am not sure if I would have been able to visualize and enjoy his text-only version so much had I not read Sacco’s Palestine first. Thanks to the graphic novel, I had a “picture” of whatever had happened, and that made it easier and more fun to understand the details of the whole story. While my romance with comic books is still ongoing, in the long run, my love for graphic novels is much stronger and here to stay. 1．Why did the author start reading comic books as a child? A．He found comic books interesting. B．He couldn’t go to bookstores. C．He wanted to be different from his friends. D．He had limited access to other books. 2．Which word can best explain the underlined word “formidable” in paragraph 2? A．Acceptable. B．Natural. C．Difficult. D．Interesting. 3．What does the author say about reading Sacco’s Palestine? A．It changed his attitude to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. B．It made his understanding of Bloomfield’s book easier. C．It encouraged him to read more text-only novels. D．It prepared him to write in a more serious way. 4．What does the author mainly talk about in the passage? A．Comic books are more than just pictures. B．Why he loves reading graphic novels. C．Why he turned to serious novels eventually. D．Picture books are here to stay for many reasons. 【答案】1．A 2．C 3．B 4．B 【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章讲述了作者从小对漫画书的喜爱，随着成长转向图文小说，阐述了喜欢图文小说的原因。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段中“My initial exploration of the world of comic books happened through the comic strips (连环漫画) in newspapers. It began with a fondness for Garfield and his adventures, and led to the discovery of a range of comic books like Champak, Tintin, and Archie. (我最初对漫画世界的探索是从报纸上的连环画开始的。这始于对加菲猫及其冒险故事的喜爱，并由此发现了一系列漫画书，如《昌帕克》《丁丁历险记》和《阿奇》)”可知，作者小时候开始读漫画书是因为他觉得漫画书有趣。故选A项。 2．词句猜测题。根据第二段中“Having grown up on a diet of image heavy books, I found the idea of reading text only novels quite formidable.(从小看了大量以图片为主的书，我觉得读纯文字小说的想法相当……)”以及后文“As I searched for books that lay somewhere in between(当我寻找介于两者之间的书时)”可推知，作者习惯了图片多的书，所以觉得读纯文字小说有难度，才会寻找介于两者之间的书。所以划线词“formidable”意思是“困难的”，与“Difficult”同义。故选C项。 3．细节理解题。根据第四段中“Though I was impressed by the compelling nature of storytelling in his book, I am not sure if I would have been able to visualize and enjoy his text only version so much had I not read Sacco’s Palestine first. Thanks to the graphic novel, I had a ‘picture’ of whatever had happened, and that made it easier and more fun to understand the details of the whole story.(虽然我对他书中引人入胜的叙事方式印象深刻，但我不确定如果我没有先读萨科的《巴勒斯坦》，我是否能如此生动地想象并享受他那纯文字版的书。多亏了这本图文小说，我对发生的一切有了一个‘画面’，这让理解整个故事的细节变得更容易、更有趣)”可知，读萨科的《巴勒斯坦》让作者对发生的一切有了一个‘画面’，让他更容易理解布卢姆菲尔德的书。故选B项。 4．主旨大意题。根据第二段中“And so, as I grew older, I found myself turning to graphic novels from childish comic books.(所以，随着年龄的增长，我发现自己从幼稚的漫画书转向了图文小说)”、第三段中“Graphic novels dealt with serious topics in a more engaging manner. They would literally show me what was going on.(图文小说以更引人入胜的方式处理严肃的话题。它们能让我直观地看到发生了什么)”、第四段中“Thanks to the graphic novel, I had a ‘picture’ of whatever had happened, and that made it easier and more fun to understand the details of the whole story.(多亏了这本图文小说，我对发生的一切有了一个‘画面’，这让理解整个故事的细节变得更容易、更有趣)”和最后一段中“While my romance with comic books is still ongoing, in the long run, my love for graphic novels is much stronger and here to stay.(虽然我与漫画书的爱情仍在继续，但从长远来看，我对图文小说的爱要强烈得多，而且会一直持续下去)”可知，文章重点阐述了作者对图文小说的喜欢和原因。由此可知，B项“他为什么喜欢读图文小说”能概括文章内容。故选B项。 Passage 2 (23-24高一上·浙江丽水·期末) Eleven-year-old Ruby has a unique hobby—making wishes come true for nursing home residents in Harrison, Arkansas. Inspired by her mother’s work as a nurse, Ruby accompanied her mother to the nursing homes during the summer and has developed a close bond with the elderly residents. One day, Ruby noticed a resident named Pearl looking sad while staring out of a window. When she asked what was wrong, Pearl explained that she had seen her dog being taken away, and she didn’t know when she would see her beloved pet again. It broke Ruby’s heart, and she decided to take action. She began asking the residents what three things they wanted most in the world. To her surprise, their requests were simple—chocolate bars, McDonald’s fries, and pants that fit properly. Ruby and her mother used their own money to achieve the wishes of around 100 residents within three months. Soon, they started receiving donations from the kind-hearted people of Harrison. Encouraged by the overwhelming response, they set up a GoFundMe page called “Three Wishes for Ruby’s Residents” to collect $5,000. They reached their goal within a month. When GoFundMe recognized Ruby as a Kid Hero and shared her story worldwide, donations poured in. In just 24 hours, they raised $20,000, and within five months, the total surpassed $250,000. With these funds, they were able to grant(准予)more creative wishes, such as creating a man cave for one resident with a Walkman and snacks, and providing financial assistance for another resident to attend an out-of-state wedding. Motivated by their success, Three Wishes for Ruby’s Residents became a nonprofit organization and expanded nationwide. Their new goal is to set up a shared laptop in at least one nursing home in each state. Ruby’s passion for kindness drives her to continue her efforts, and her acts of kindness serve as a reminder that even small gestures can make a big difference in someone’s life. 1．What inspired Ruby to achieve nursing home residents’ wishes? A．Her affection for dogs. B．Her enthusiasm for fundraising. C．Pearl’s request for three wishes. D．Pearl’s story about her pet dog. 2．How did Ruby and her mother firstly get the money to satisfy the residents’ desires? A．They got the fund. B．They sold their belongings. C．They used their personal money. D．They got donations from the nursing home. 3．What was one of the creative wishes granted by the project? A．Building a new nursing home. B．Providing financial assistance for weddings C．Setting up shared laptops in nursing homes across the country. D．Establishing a comfortable room for a resident with a music player and snacks. 4．Which word can best describe Ruby’s behavior? A．Creative. B．Caring. C．Confusing. D．Courageous. 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．D 4．B 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述11岁Ruby创建Three Wishes for Ruby’s Residents非盈利组织的故事。 1．细节理解题。由文章第二段“One day, Ruby noticed a resident named Pearl looking sad while staring out of a window. When she asked what was wrong, Pearl explained that she had seen her dog being taken away, and she didn’t know when she would see her beloved pet again. It broke Ruby’s heart, and she decided to take action. She began asking the residents what three things they wanted most in the world. (一天，Rubyl注意到一位名叫 Pearl的居民在凝视窗外时看起来很悲伤。当她问怎么了时， Pearl解释说，她看到自己的狗被带走了，她不知道什么时候才能再次见到她心爱的宠物。这伤透了Ruby的心，她决定采取行动。她开始问居民们，世界上他们最想要的三样东西是什么。)”可知，Pearl关于她的宠物狗的故事启发了Ruby去实现疗养院居民的愿望。故选D项。 2．细节理解题。由文章第三段“Ruby and her mother used their own money to achieve the wishes of around 100 residents within three months.(Ruby和她的母亲用自己的钱在三个月内实现了大约100名居民的愿望。)”可知，Ruby和她的母亲最开始用自己的钱来实现居民的愿望。故选C项。 3．细节理解题。由文章第四段“With these funds, they were able to grant(准予)more creative wishes, such as creating a man cave for one resident with a Walkman and snacks, and providing financial assistance for another resident to attend an out-of-state wedding.(有了这些资金，他们能够实现更具创造性的愿望，例如为一位居民创建一个舒适的房间，配有音乐播放器和小吃，并为另一位居民参加州外婚礼提供经济援助。)”可知，为居住者建立一个舒适的房间，配有音乐播放器和小吃是该项目实现的创造性愿望之一。故选D项。 4．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Ruby’s passion for kindness drives her to continue her efforts, and her acts of kindness serve as a reminder that even small gestures can make a big difference in someone’s life.(Ruby对善良的热情驱使她继续努力，她的善举提醒她，即使是小小的举动也会对一个人的生活产生巨大的影响。)”以及上文可推知，Ruby是一个善良且乐于助人的人，所以她的行为是关心他人的。故选B项。 Passage 3 (23-24高一上·浙江台州·期末) At six o’clock sharp the curtain rises at Southside Cultural Center, in Reno. Two hundred audience members, including the mayor of Reno, look to the stage. Dozens of actors break out into the first number of The Lion King. But this is not your typical production. The gifted cast is made up of homeless children living at the Volunteers of America family shelter in Reno. The children have been given a chance to live their dreams onstage, thanks to volunteer acting coach Nasya Mancini. “I see so much of myself in these kids,” says Nasya. “I tell them their current circumstance doesn’t have to be their destiny (命运) . If they are determined, they can do anything they want.” Determination is something Nasya knows all about. She was born prematurely and was given little chance of survival. But Nasya kept fighting. Her very name means “miracle” in Hebrew. Nasya was small, but quickly proved that her talents were as big as her will to survive. She started dancing at two. By six she’d been spotted by an acting coach, who encouraged her parents to enroll her in drama classes. “There was something about being onstage,” Nasya says. “It made my spirit come alive.” She decided that she was going to be an actor. However, her enthusiasm didn’t sit well with some of her schoolmates. They teased (嘲) her, “You’re a shrimp. You’re not even pretty.” Nasya came home in tears. Her mother hugged her and told her to ignore it. By high school, Nasya was winning awards in theater competitions. She also provided community service by teaching drama to the children at the shelter. Nasya wanted the kids at the shelter to discover the confidence that acting could give. The best way to do that, she decided, was to put on a big play. The production was a hit. The kids took several curtain calls. Donations to the shelter rolled in. Nasya reminds the kids of something she knows with every part of her spirit to be true: “Believe in yourself. The world is your stage.” 1．What was special about the play The Lion King?

B．Rising from Shelter to Stage. C．The Lion King Is Roaring Back. D．Sharing Her Dream with Homeless Teens. 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．B 4．D 【导语】本文是记叙文。文章主要讲述了Nasya Mancini虽然是早产儿，但是她意志力坚强，决心成为一名演员，最终她的梦想实现了，她还帮助无家可归的儿童在舞台上实现他们的梦想。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段中“The gifted cast is made up of homeless children living at the Volunteers of America family shelter in Reno.(演员阵容由居住在里诺美国志愿者家庭庇护所的无家可归的儿童组成。)”可知，《狮子王》这部剧的特别之处在于它是由无家可归的孩子表演的。故选C。 2．推理判断题。根据第三段中“Nasya was small, but quickly proved that her talents were as big as her will to survive. She started dancing at two.(纳西娅虽然个子很小，但很快就证明了她的才华和她的生存意志一样强大。她两岁开始跳舞。)”可知，Nasya很有才华；根据倒数第二段中“She also provided community service by teaching drama to the children at the shelter. Nasya wanted the kids at the shelter to discover the confidence that acting could give.(她还通过向庇护所的孩子们教授戏剧来提供社区服务。纳西娅希望庇护所的孩子们能够发现表演可以带来的自信。)”可知，Nasya很关心他人，故选B。 3．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“Nasya wanted the kids at the shelter to discover the confidence that acting could give. The best way to do that, she decided, was to put on a big play.(纳西娅希望庇护所的孩子们能够发现表演可以带来的自信。她决定，最好的办法就是上演一出大戏。)”可知，Nasya决定上演这部剧是为了建立孩子的信心。故选B。 4．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“Dozens of actors break out into the first number of The Lion King.(数十位演员出演了《狮子王》第一部。)”，第二段中“The gifted cast is made up of homeless children living at the Volunteers of America family shelter in Reno. The children have been given a chance to live their dreams onstage, thanks to volunteer acting coach Nasya Mancini.(演员阵容由居住在里诺美国志愿者家庭庇护所的无家可归的儿童组成。感谢志愿表演教练纳西娅·曼奇尼 (Nasya Mancini) 的帮助，孩子们有机会在舞台上实现自己的梦想。)”可知，文章主要讲述了Nasya Mancini虽然是早产儿，但是她意志力坚强，决心成为一名演员，最终她的梦想实现了，她还帮助无家可归的儿童在舞台上实现他们的梦想。D项“与无家可归的青少年分享她的梦想。”适合作文章标题，故选D。 Passage 4 (23-24高一上·浙江嘉兴·期末) The 13-year-old Life Scout named Jonathan in Troop 506 is pioneering new ways to perform acts of kindness. Like many troops, 506 sells popcorn each fall to raise money. In 2019, while still a Cub Scout, Jonathan watched as kids who’d made $1,800 or more in sales walked across a stage to receive a Lego set as a prize. “I really want that Lego set,” he said. The next year, he successfully got his Legos. However, Troop 506 not only provides Lego sets but also contributes a percentage of their sales in the form of gift cards for Scouting-related activities. Encouraged, Jonathan spent the next few years developing a surprising sale skill. The year 2021 saw him achieve impressive sales of $46,193.75, making him a top seller in the nation and bringing him $5,000 worth in Amazon cards, He might have spent it on himself, but he had other ideas. Popcorn season closes in late November, and the holidays were on his mind—particularly the stories his father had told him about his own days in foster care. “They don’t really have Christmas,” Jonathan said. With $5,000, he could bring Christmas to a lot of kids. With the help of his mother, he made his way to the social services offices. Anyone else might have simply sent in the money and felt they’d done enough. Not Jonathan. He requested information about each kid, including age, gender and interests. He changed from a big seller to a big spender, personally choosing gifts for dozens of kids, like a Santa. “The most worthwhile thing,” he said, “is to try to put happiness into the lives of others.” 1．What encouraged Jonathan to improve his selling techniques? A．The Lego set to be received as a prize. B．The money to be raised by selling popcorn. C．The cards that could be gained to buy goods.

Popcorn season closes in late November, and the holidays were on his mind—particularly the stories his father had told him about his own days in foster care.(2021年，他取得了46193.75美元的惊人销售额，使他成为全国最畅销的卖家，并为他带来了价值5000美元的亚马逊卡。他可以把这些钱花在自己身上，但他有其他的想法。爆米花的季节在11月下旬结束，假期一直萦绕在他的脑海里，尤其是他父亲告诉他的关于他自己在寄养中心的故事)”可推知，第4段提到了乔纳森的父亲是为了解释为什么乔纳森有其他想法。故选A。 3．推理判断题。根据倒数第三段““They don’t really have Christmas,” Jonathan said. With $5,000, he could bring Christmas to a lot of kids.(“他们没有真正的圣诞节，”乔纳森说。用5000美元，他可以给很多孩子带来圣诞节)”以及倒数第二段“He requested information about each kid, including age, gender and interests. He changed from a big seller to a big spender, personally choosing gifts for dozens of kids, like a Santa.(他询问了每个孩子的信息，包括年龄、性别和兴趣。他从一个大卖家变成了一个大消费者，像圣诞老人一样亲自为几十个孩子挑选礼物)”可知，乔纳森用自己的钱给寄养中心的孩子买礼物，还询问了他们的信息，说明了他体贴且有爱心。故选C。 4．主旨大意题。根据第一段“The 13-year-old Life Scout named Jonathan in Troop 506 is pioneering new ways to perform acts of kindness.(13岁的乔纳森是506部队的童子军，他开创了做好事的新方式)”结合文章主要讲述了13岁的乔纳森将自己的销售额用来给寄养中心的孩子们买礼物过圣诞节的故事。可推断，D选项“童子军为寄养儿童扮演圣诞老人”最符合文章主旨。故选D。 主题02 人与自我——生活与学习 Passage 1 (24-25高一上·浙江杭州·期末) One day in elementary school, a friend asked me “What are you eating?” as she glanced at my lunchbox. “It smells,” she said, nose crinkled. I was eating bhindi roti, my favorite Indian snack, which my mom had packed for me. But feeling embarrassed for having a “smelly” lunch and wanting to fit in, I quietly shut my lunchbox. That day, I went hungry. Most days after that, lunchtime at school felt like a battle. If I wasn’t trying to hide my lunch or sneak quick bites when no one was looking, I’d insist on bringing in the same peanut-butter-and-jelly sandwich as the other kids. My mom, who didn’t grow up eating American food, tried her best, but the sandwiches never looked, or tasted, as good as the food I devoured at home. I didn’t know that I wasn’t alone. Many kids with immigrant parents encounter (遭遇) what’s known as “the lunchbox moment” at school: the experience of being judged for bringing in food considered culturally different and so being made to feel like an outsider. For this article, I talked with kids who could relate. But they also surprised me: They dealt with “the lunchbox moment” differently than I did. For example, Satya Singh, 6, who takes her mom’s Indian cooking to lunch most days, told me that one day a classmate said that her aloo, or potatoes, looked like poop. Another time, someone said that the dal, or lentils, looked like “throw up”. The next day, Satya brought enough dal to share with her entire class — and they loved it. From then on, she says, “My teacher at school made a rule: Don’t yuck someone’s yum.” Looking back, I wish I’d had the wisdom of Satya and offered my friend a bite of my lunch, or just told her it was delicious — especially because now, as an adult, I see that Indian food is universally loved by my friends. Some even try to cook Indian lentils or chickpeas at home! And when I’m hungry, guess what? I miss my mom’s bhindi roti and her care in making it for me. Food is an expression of culture, tradition, family and love. And that’s something to celebrate, not hide. 1．Why did the writer go hungry one day in elementary school? A．She did like her smelly lunch. B．Her classmates ate up her bhindi roti. C．Her mom didn’t prepare lunch for her. D．She skipped her lunch to fit in with others. 2．The word “devoured” in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ________. A．cooked B．tasted C．ate quickly and eagerly D．prepared 3．What does the author want to tell us? A．Food is something to celebrate, not hide. B．Never should you yuck someone’s yum in any case. C．Indian food is delicious and universally appreciated. D．The lunchbox moment is when one can taste different foods. 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．A 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者小时候为了融入同学而放弃吃妈妈做的印度食物，长大后才明白食物是文化、传统、家庭和爱的表达，应该用来庆祝，而不是隐藏。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段中“But feeling embarrassed for having a “smelly” lunch and wanting to fit in, I quietly shut my lunchbox. That day, I went hungry.( 但我觉得吃了一顿“有味道”的午餐很尴尬，我想融入其中，就悄悄地关上了午餐盒。那天，我饿着)” 可知，作者因为觉得自己的午餐“有味道”而感到尴尬，并且想要融入其他同学，所以悄悄地合上了午餐盒，那天就饿了肚子。由此可知，作者在小学的时候饿了一天是因为她为了融入其他人。故选D项。 2．词义猜测题。根据第三段中“My mom, who didn’t grow up eating American food, tried her best, but the sandwiches never looked, or tasted, as good as the food I devoured at home.( 我妈妈不是吃着美国食物长大的，她尽了最大的努力，但三明治无论看起来还是尝起来都不如我在家里devoured的食物)”可知，妈妈尽力做的三明治看起来和尝起来都不如作者在家里“devoured” 的食物好。结合语境，这里应该是说作者在家里急切且快速地吃家里的食物，因为家里的食物更美味。C选项“ate quickly and eagerly（快速且急切地吃）”符合语境。故选C项。 3．推理判断题。根据文章大意以及最后一段中“Food is an expression of culture, tradition, family and love. And that’s something to celebrate, not hide.( 食物是文化、传统、家庭和爱的表达。这是值得庆祝的，而不是隐藏的)”可知，文章讲述了作者小时候因为午餐被同学认为有味道而感到尴尬并隐藏午餐，后来了解到其他有移民父母的孩子也有类似经历，其中 Satya Singh面对同学的嘲笑选择分享食物并改变了情况。最后作者回顾过去，意识到食物是文化、传统、家庭和爱的表达，应该庆祝而不是隐藏。由此可推知，作者想告诉我们食物是用来庆祝的，而不是用来隐藏的。故选A项。 Passage 2 (24-25高一上·浙江杭州学军·期末) My parents bought a house in Verona, New Jersey, in 1946 when I was 5. My sister, Merry, was born two years later. Our house was set far back from the road. It felt safe and adventurous with a big back yard and suburban wildlife. The main attraction for me, by far, was the massive tree in the front yard, which rose higher than I could see. We called it Old Oak. An arborist (树艺师) who checked Old Oak for my parents after the snowstorm of 1947 had pronounced it 300 years old. Playing beneath Old Oak, my best friend, Justine, and I made toy horses. From Old Oak’s lowest branch, my dad hung a wooden board on a chain for a swing. The back-and-forth motion of the swing and rhythmic clicking of the chain comforted me. I’d lie under the green umbrella, admiring Old Oak’s height — my protector. Time passed. I was swinging less under the tree and more on the dance floor. Long after my father sold the house, Merry and I visited Old Oak when attending Verona High reunions. Justine called last October. A new owner had bought the property and taken down the tree. I found the real estate (房产) photo. In front of the house lay two huge lengths of trunk. I’d have to act fast to get a piece for Merry and me. The agent involved in the sale said that he would try to talk with the new owner. However, that attempt failed. Then I turned to John Zelenka, an artful arborist, for help. Fortunately, he sent photos of the remaining trunk pieces, contacted the owner, and suggested slices for my woodworking hobbyist son in New Hampshire. On a cold April morning, my husband and I met Zelenka to examine the pieces he’d cut after transporting the trunk. I couldn’t call Merry fast enough. She was excited. Trees give us such gifts from flowers to shade. My relationship with Old Oak has taken on a new form. 1．What do we know about Old Oak? A．It witnessed the author’s birth. B．It failed to survive a snowstorm. C．It was located at the side of a road. D．It was a tall, centuries-old tree. 2．Why did Justine call the author last October? A．To report an incident about Old Oak. B．To inquire about the author’s property. C．To recall their days spent under Old Oak. D．To invite her to attend Verona High reunions. 3．What can we infer about the author from the last two paragraphs? A．She was unable to contact Merry. B．She felt grateful and comforted. C．She decided to start a whole new life. D．She made wooden works out of the pieces. 4．What’s the writing purpose of the text? A．To detail the process of reusing a fallen tree. B．To explore how trees symbolize family traditions. C．To emphasize the importance of protecting ancient trees. D．To share a heartfelt personal experience with a beloved tree. 【答案】1．D 2．A 3．B 4．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要介绍的是作者与童年老宅前的巨大橡树Old Oak之间的深厚情感以及它被砍倒后的感人故事。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段中的“We called it Old Oak. An arborist (树艺师) who checked Old Oak for my parents after the snowstorm of 1947 had pronounced it 300 years old.(我们叫它老橡树。一位树艺师在1947年的暴风雪过后替我父母检查了老橡树，说它已经有300年的历史了)和第二段中的“I’d lie under the green umbrella, admiring Old Oak’s height — my protector. (我会躺在绿色的伞下，欣赏高大的老橡树——我的保护者)”可知，这棵老橡树非常高大，而且树龄已有几百年。故选D。 2．细节理解题。根据第三段中的“A new owner had bought the property and taken down the tree.(一位新主人买下了这块地，把树砍了下来。)”可知，Justine给作者打电话是为了告诉她有人买下了这处房产并把那棵树砍了。故选A。 3．推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Fortunately, he sent photos of the remaining trunk pieces, contacted the owner, and suggested slices for my woodworking hobbyist son in New Hampshire.(幸运的是，他给我寄来了剩下的树干碎片的照片，联系了主人，并向我在新罕布什尔州的木工爱好者儿子推荐了一些碎片)”以及最后一段中的“My relationship with Old Oak has taken on a new form.(我与老橡树的关系已经以一种新的形式延续。)”可推知，作者与老橡树的关系以新的方式继续，这让她感到安心。故选B。 4．推理判断题。根据首段中的“The main attraction for me, by far, was the massive tree in the front yard, which rose higher than I could see. We called it Old Oak. An arborist (树艺师) who checked Old Oak for my parents after the snowstorm of 1947 had pronounced it 300 years old.(迄今为止，最吸引我的是前院那棵巨大的树，它高耸入云，我们称之为老橡树。1947年暴风雪后，一位为我父母检查老橡树的树艺师宣布它已有300年的历史。)”可知，作者从小就被老橡树吸引，结合下文介绍的从作者童年的回忆到得知它被砍伐后的反应，再到最终找到一种方式保存它的部分作为纪念可知，全文围绕作者与Old Oak的情感纽带展开，核心是个人与树的情感联结，所以本文的目的是分享一段与心爱树木有关的真挚个人经历。故选D。 主题03 人与自我——做人与做事 Passage 1 （24-25高一上·浙江宁波九校·期末） A “bucket list” is a personal list of goals and activities someone wants to accomplish before the end of their life. Fortunately, I’ve been able to check off quite a lot of mine. It was after the loss of several loved ones that I decided to make my bucket list so that, when I reflect on my life, I’ll smile and know that I grabbed every chance at happiness that I could. I’ve achieved some of the things on my bucket list — hiking the Plank Road in the Sky on Mount Huashan in Shaanxi province; diving off the highest platform of 15 meters into the sea at Ariel’s Point in Boracay, the Philippines; doing the world’s highest commercial bungee jump at 233 meters off Macao Tower in the Macao Special Administrative Region; octopus fishing in the Yellow Sea off South Korea; and much more. The top item on my bucket list, however, is much more difficult to achieve. Being adopted from South Korea to the United States in 1976,I have been searching for my biological parents for the past several years. I can’t help but worry that they may not still be living.But having this item at the top of my list urges me to keep trying and I’m planning to visit Seoul in October to continue the search. When I’ve talked about my bucket list to some friends, the feedback I’ve received from them is that it seems “a bit abnormal”. Like, if you have a list,you’re thinking about your death way too early. As you get older,the list may change.And that’s OK.Whether it includes visiting certain countries, getting in better physical shape, buying a particular item or just spending more time with loved ones,there is no wrong way to do a bucket list.Your list can include short-term goals, once-in-a-lifetime experiences or just personal goals.It can give a boost to your motivation and force you to take breaks when you might not otherwise think of doing so. I consider my bucket list as a way to keep my hopes and dreams alive;a north star by which I can steer my life. 1．When did theauthor make up her mind to plan her bucket list? A．When she was close to death. B．After her loved ones passed away. C．After she was adopted to America. D．When she was seeking her parents. 2．Which item on her bucket list has NOT been achieved? A．Going hiking on Mount Huashan. B．Bungee jumping off Macao Tower. C．Fishing octopuses in the Yellow Sea. D．Being reunited with her birth parents. 3．What is the attitude of some friends to her bucket list? A．Negative. B．Uninterested. C．Understanding. D．Unclear. 4．Which is NOT the benefit of making abucket list according to the author? A．Guiding through one’s life. B．Inspiring hopes and dreams. C．Taking breaks regularly. D．Increasing one’s motivation. 【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制定并实现“遗愿清单”的经历和感受，包括已经完成的一些目标、尚未实现的最重要目标，以及作者对“遗愿清单”的看法和态度。 1．细节理解题。根据文章第一段“It was after the loss of several loved ones that I decided to make my bucket list so that, when I reflect on my life, I’ll smile and know that I grabbed every chance at happiness that I could.(在失去几位挚爱之人后，我决定制定自己的人生清单，这样当我回顾人生时，就能微笑着知道自己抓住了所有能获得幸福的机会。)”可知，作者是在失去几位挚爱之人后决定制定人生清单的。故选B。 2．推理判断题。根据文章第三段“The top item on my bucket list, however, is much more difficult to achieve. Being adopted from South Korea to the United States in 1976, I have been searching for my biological parents for the past several years. I can’t help but worry that they may not still be living. But having this item at the top of my list urges me to keep trying and I’m planning to visit Seoul in October to continue the search.(然而，我人生清单上的首要目标却难实现得多。1976 年我从韩国被收养到美国，过去几年里我一直在寻找亲生父母。我不禁担心他们可能已不在人世，但这个首要目标促使我不断尝试，我计划10月前往首尔继续寻找。)”可知，作者提到寻找亲生父母是人生清单的首要目标，且计划 10月去首尔继续寻找，说明此事尚未完成。故选D。 3．推理判断题。根据文章第四段“When I’ve talked about my bucket list to some friends, the feedback I’ve received from them is that it seems “a bit abnormal”. Like, if you have a list, you’re thinking about your death way too early.(当我和一些朋友谈论人生清单时，他们反馈说这似乎 有点反常。比如，有人觉得列这样的清单意味着过早思考死亡。)”可知，朋友们认为作者的人生清单有点反常，并觉得列清单意味着过早思考死亡。体现出朋友们对清单持不认同的态度。故选A。 4．细节理解题。根据文章第五段“It can give a boost to your motivation and force you to take breaks when you might not otherwise think of doing so.(它能激发你的动力，迫使你在原本不会想到的时候停下来休息。)”可知，制定人生清单“迫使你在原本不会想到的时候休息”，而非“定期休息”。因此，选项C“Taking breaks regularly(定期休息)”不属于清单的益处。故选C。 Passage 2 （24-25高一上·浙江温州·期末） With two Olympic medals and two world skateboarding titles, 16-year-old Rayssa Leal has achieved what most people dream of, Her skills, paired with the joys she shows in skateparks, have brought her fans as well as public attention. But instead of talent and hard work, she shared that her support system made a big difference in landing her a medal at Paris 2024. At the close of the run section of the eight-woman final, Leal had failed to put down a single clean line, lowering her hope of a top three finish. She knew the game wasn’t over, but the already heavy stress on Leal’s shoulders doubled in weight. “After I screwed up the two runs, I thought I was not going to be able to do it anymore.” Leal related her experience. It was then that she went and got support. Her family was there, and her whole team was there. Having received a hug from everyone and having heard very positive and encouraging words, she came back 100 percent, even more focused, That was what changed the game right there. Re-energized, the teenager finished the last section with her very best, And though the gold and silver were out of her reach, she never backed down in the fight for bronze. When the last skater who could overtake her failed the last run, Leal said she fell into a ton of feelings. “As soon as I realised that I was in third place, I broke down. My coach was there. We hugged each other, and we cried together. And all I could think was the most positive thoughts in the world.” 1．What played a major role in Leal’s success at Paris Olympics? A．Effort. B．Skills. C．Support. D．Strategies. 2．What does the underlined phrase “screwed up” in paragraph 3 mean? A．Focused on. B．Did badly in. C．Took control of. D．Gave up. 3．How did Leal feel when she hugged her coach?

C．You cannot lose the game if you don’t play the game. D．A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．A 4．B 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。本文主要讲述16岁滑板选手蕾莎·李尔的故事，她在巴黎奥运会上获得奖牌，强调了支持系统对她的重要性。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段中“But instead of talent and hard work, she shared that her support system made a big difference in landing her a medal at Paris 2024.( 但她分享说，她的支持系统对她在2024年巴黎奥运会上获得奖牌起了很大的作用，而不是天赋和努力。)”可知，支持系统对李尔在巴黎奥运会获得奖牌起到了关键作用。故选C项。 2．词义猜测题。根据第二段中“She knew the game wasn’t over, but the already heavy stress on Leal’s shoulders doubled in weight.( 她知道比赛还没有结束，但李尔肩上本已沉重的压力又增加了一倍。)”以及划线单词句中“I thought I was not going to be able to do it anymore.( 我想我再也做不下去了。)”由此可知，她在两轮比赛中表现不好，所以“screwed up”意思是“表现糟糕”，和B选项Did badly in“做得不好，表现不佳”意思相近。故选B项。 3．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“We hugged each other, and we cried together. And all I could think was the most positive thoughts in the world.( 我们拥抱在一起，一起哭。我所能想到的都是世界上最积极的想法。)”可以看出，她当时满是积极的想法。在经历了比赛的波折，因为家人和团队的支持最终获得铜牌，与教练拥抱时，她内心充满感激之情。故选A项。 4．推理判断题。根据文章大意以及倒数第二段中“Her family was there, and her whole team was there. Having received a hug from everyone and having heard very positive and encouraging words, she came back 100 percent, even more focused, That was what changed the game right there.(她的家人和整个团队都在那里。在得到了每个人的拥抱，听到了非常积极和鼓励的话后，她百分百地回来了，甚至更加专注。这就是改变比赛的原因。)”可知，李尔在比赛两轮表现不佳、压力倍增时，家人和团队的支持与鼓励让她重新振作，最终获得铜牌，这充分体现了一点鼓励能产生很大的影响。故选B项。 主题01 人与社会——公共服务与人际沟通 Passage 1 （23-24高一上·浙江杭州·期末） Working for a big company in London on a salary (薪水) of over £100,000, you might expect Grayden Reece-Smith to have a luxurious (奢侈) lifestyle, going on expensive holidays or driving a sports car around south London, where he lives. In fact, the 28-year-old lives a very different existence from his colleagues. He gives away everything he earns over £42,000–a figure that he thought he could comfortably live on. Over the past five years, Reece-Smith has handed over more than £250,000 to organizations such as International Care Ministries, which helps poor families in the Philippines, and the Against Malaria Foundation. He is part of a growing number of young professionals described as “effective altruists”. Effective altruists typically donate regularly to a charity which they think will have a great impact (影响). Some change careers to make more money, which can then be given away. Reece-Smith considered working in the charity sector after graduating from university, but thought that he could make a bigger difference by donating a large part of his salary. He had volunteered as a teacher at a school in Tanzania, but then realized that earning and giving would be more effective. “The cost of my flights there could have paid the salaries of two teachers for an entire year,” he says. Instead, he could “stay at home, living a nice life and still make a huge difference in the world”. He is not mean with money-last year he went to Cuba on holiday, and spent several thousand pounds on a new sofa. But his lifestyle isn’t as luxurious as some of the people he works with. “I usually don’t buy supermarket-branded food products, but I don’t own a car. Other people on my salary might have a bigger house. Some of my colleagues have four-bedroom houses, but we only bought what we needed-a two-bedroom flat.£42,000 is more than enough to live on and still save,” he says. 1．How much money does Grayden spend on donation every year? A．Less than £42,000. B．Over £100.000. C．£50,000. D．Any income over £42,000. 2．What may an “effective altruist” do according to the text? A．Donate to impactful charities. B．Make more money to enjoy lives. C．Create a good public image. D．Enter a teaching profession. 3．Why did Grayden decide to donate money but not work in the charity sector? A．To access his inner life. B．To create a stronger effect. C．To give away all of his salary. D．To be a teacher at a school. 4．What can be inferred about Grayden from the text? A．He leads an expensive lifestyle. B．He buys food produced by supermarkets. C．He lives in a four-bedroom house. D．He balances his life and donation. 【答案】1．D 2．A 3．B 4．D 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述Grayden Reece-Smith每年除了留下 £42,000薪水生活外，会把剩余的薪水捐给慈善机构。 1．细节理解题。由文章第一段“He gives away everything he earns over £42,000–a figure that he thought he could comfortably live on.(他捐出了他收入超过4.2万英镑的一切——他认为4.2万英镑已经可以让他过上舒适的生活。)”可知，Grayden会捐赠出任何超过42000英镑的收入。故选D项。 2．细节理解题。由文章第二段“He is part of a growing number of young professionals described as ‘effective altruists’. Effective altruists typically donate regularly to a charity which they think will have a great impact （影响）. (他是越来越多被称为‘有效利他主义者’的年轻专业人士中的一员。有效的利他主义者通常会定期向他们认为会产生巨大影响的慈善机构捐款。)”可知，利他主义者会向有影响力的慈善机构捐款。故选A项。 3．细节理解题。由文章第三段“Reece-Smith considered working in the charity sector after graduating from university, but thought that he could make a bigger difference by donating a large part of his salary. (Reece Smith大学毕业后曾考虑在慈善部门工作，但他认为自己可以通过捐出大部分工资来做出更大的改变。)”可知， Grayden认为捐款会产生更大的效果。故选B项。 4．推理判断题。由文章最后一段“I usually don’t buy supermarket-branded food products, but I don’t own a car. Other people on my salary might have a bigger house. Some of my colleagues have four-bedroom houses, but we only bought what we needed-a two-bedroom flat.£42,000 is more than enough to live on and still save,(我通常不买超市品牌的食品，但我没有汽车。其他拿我薪水的人可能会有更大的房子。我的一些同事有四居室的房子，但我们只买了我们需要的——一套两居室的公寓。42000英镑已经足够生活和储蓄了)”可知，Grayden能很好的平衡自己的生活和捐赠。故选D项。 Passage 2 (23-24高一上·浙江杭州·期末) Naturalist Enzo Suma, who is now 40, lives in Puglia, a region in southern Italy whose long coastline faces the Adriatic Sea. Floating waste accumulates in this relatively enclosed part of the Mediterranean, unlike the open ocean, where the waste tends to be spread over a vast area. Feeling concerned about that, Suma makes it a habit to pick up the washed-up waste along the shore, especially after big winter storms. One day, Suma was walking along the beach near his home when he discovered a bottle of Coke. Suma noticed on the bottle that the price, clearly printed on the bottom, was in lire, a currency (货币) that hadn’t been used in Italy since it was replaced by the euro in 2002. Could a plastic container have well survived in the Mediterranean, he wondered, for about two decades? That led him to found the Archeoplastica museum. It has a collection of about 500 unique pieces recovered from Italian shores and the Coke bottle is the first one of them. All collection demonstrates the unsettling life force of plastic waste in the environment. “Seeing that a product people may have used 30, 40, or 50 years ago remains still unchanged, you’ll feel different. It’s a great shock,” Suma said to a reporter. So Suma often exhibits selected pieces from the Archeoplastica collection at local schools around his hometown of Ostuni. “The playful side of the work allows you to arrive at the less beautiful side of things,” Suma acknowledged. “Plastic is a kind of useful substance. But it’s unthinkable that a water bottle, made from a material designed to last so long, can be used for just a few days—or even minutes—before becoming garbage. Clean the beaches. Clean the oceans. Recycle. But if we are still throwing out plastics, none of those are going to be long-term solutions.” 1．What’s Suma’s concern about his living place? A．Its long coastline is disappearing. B．Big storms frequently hit the area. C．Floating waste spreads over a vast area. D．The waste pollution on shore is worsening. 2．What can be learned about the objects in the Archeoplastica museum? A．They have a history of more than half a century. B．They were quite valuable before turning into waste. C．They’re more like educational exhibits than garbage. D．They have stronger life force than ordinary plastic products. 3．Which of the following can best describe Enzo Suma? A．Creative, devoted and socially responsible. B．Enthusiastic, ambitious and adventurous. C．Generous, cautious and humorous. D．Curious, efficient and playful. 4．What does Suma intend to tell us by his words in the last paragraph? A．The birth of plastics has greatly served humans. B．The key to tackling the plastic pollution is to stop littering. C．The plastic problem can be solved by cleaning and recycling. D．People should be more aware of the powerful functions of plastics. 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．A 4．B 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述自然主义者Enzo Suma创办了Archeoplastica博物馆，通过展览向学校和社区展示塑料垃圾的持久性和环境影响，呼吁人们清理海滩、清理海洋和回收塑料以解决这一问题。 1．细节理解题 。根据题干的“concern”可将答案定位到第一段“Feeling concerned about that...”，而前文提到“Floating waste accumulates in this relatively enclosed part of the Mediterranean, unlike the open ocean, where the waste tends to be spread over a vast area（漂浮的废物聚集在地中海这个相对封闭的部分，不像开放的海洋，废物往往分布在一个广阔的区域）”，可知他担心的是不断恶化的漂浮垃圾的问题。故选D。 2．细节理解题 。根据第三段对Archeoplastica博物馆的介绍，“It has a collection of about 500 unique pieces recovered from Italian shores and the Coke bottle is the first one of them. All collection demonstrates the unsettling life force of plastic waste in the environment. （它收集了大约500件从意大利海岸回收的独特物品，而可乐瓶是其中的第一个。所有的收集都显示了塑料垃圾在环境中令人不安的生命力）”，可知博物馆的展品其实就是这些能够长久存在的塑料垃圾，目的是为了唤起人们对此问题的关注，具有教育意义。故选C。 3．推理判断题 。通读文章可知，Enzo Suma关心环境问题，提出了颇具创新意义的解决方案，并践行自己的想法，可知他是一个有创造力、奉献精神、和社会责任感的人。故选A。 4．推理判断题。 最后一段Suma对这个博物馆的作用意义进行评价，并再一次提醒人们塑料垃圾持久性的问题后，提到“But if we are still throwing out plastics, none of those are going to be long-term solutions （但如果我们还在扔塑料，这些都不是长久之计）”，由此可知，他认为根本解决之道是停止扔垃圾。故选B。 主题02 人与自我——生活与学习 Passage 1 (23-24高一上·浙江宁波·期末) For as long as I can remember, I’ve had animals in my life. These days, there are four small companions: three dogs and an eight-year-old brown Burmese cat called Soo. I love them all dearly and they are the best company possible. They greet me warmly each time I come home, never complain and never get angry or argue with me. I have, though, discovered recently, after all these years of never being without a pet, there are unexpected risks of living with animals. This year, I’ve spent four weeks in hospital, thanks to the cat. I felt such a fool telling the doctors that the terrible bruising (擦伤) and growing lump (肿块) in the middle of my right foot was due to my cat misbehaving. It was a Sunday night. I’d had friends for lunch and was in the kitchen clearing up. I’d emptied and washed a heavy glass ashtray (烟灰缸), which I’d placed on the side. Soo knows she’s not allowed on the kitchen surfaces. Yet, she jumped up, marched towards the ashtray, and knocked it off. I like to think she didn’t know my foot was directly in her line of fire, but it was. I cried with pain. I couldn’t see any obvious wound and the ashtray survived the fall. I thought nothing more of it. I’ve never seen such bruising as appeared the next day, but I carried on. I had work to do. It wasn’t too painful and surely the bruising would go away eventually. I carried on like that for a couple of weeks until a visit from my son, who thought the lump had grown and could be infected, so demanded I take a trip to the hospital. As for forgiveness, there’s nothing to forgive. It’s my fault the ashtray was too close to the edge. There’ll still be treats and toys prepared for my pets under the Christmas tree. 1．What has the writer found recently about having pets? A．Pets are the best company possible. B．Pets may bring danger to their owners. C．Pets never complain or argue with people. D．Dogs and cats are great pets in people’s life. 2．What was the result of the accident? A．I was grateful to my cat Soo. B．I was made fun of by doctors. C．I only suffered some bruising. D．I stayed in hospital for several weeks. 3．What do we know about the accident? A．My son took my wound more seriously. B．Soo didn’t knock off the ashtray on purpose. C．It happened when I was cooking in the kitchen. D．I took a trip to the hospital right after the accident. 4．Which can best describe the writer’s attitude towards pets? A．Love them all to bits. B．Hate their misbehaviors. C．Understand their feelings. D．Complain about their company. 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．A 4．A 【导语】本文是记叙文。作者很爱自己的宠物，然而作者最近发现与动物一起生活却存在意想不到的风险。文章主要讲述了作者的宠物猫打翻了一个烟灰缸，导致作者受伤，在医院住了几个星期，但是作者并没有怪罪猫。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段中“I have, though, discovered recently, after all these years of never being without a pet, there are unexpected risks of living with animals.(不过，我最近发现，这么多年我一直没有养宠物，与动物一起生活却存在意想不到的风险。)”可知，作者最近发现，宠物可能会给主人带来危险。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据第二段中“This year, I’ve spent four weeks in hospital, thanks to the cat. (今年，由于那只猫，我在医院住了四个星期。)”可知，事故的结果是作者在医院住了几个星期。故选D。 3．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“I carried on like that for a couple of weeks until a visit from my son, who thought the lump had grown and could be infected, so demanded I take a trip to the hospital.(我就这样坚持了几个星期，直到我儿子来看我，他认为肿块已经变大并且可能被感染，所以要求我去医院。)”可知，作者发生事故后，儿子更认真地对待作者的伤口。故选A。 4．推理判断题。根据最后一段“As for forgiveness, there’s nothing to forgive. It’s my fault the ashtray was too close to the edge. There’ll still be treats and toys prepared for my pets under the Christmas tree.(至于原谅，没有什么可以原谅的。烟灰缸太靠近边缘是我的错。圣诞树下仍然会为我的宠物准备零食和玩具。)”可知，作者认为这次事故不是宠物猫导致的，是作者自己的错误，这说明作者并没有怪罪自己的猫，由此可推知，作者很爱自己的宠物，故选A。 主题03 人与自我——做人与做事 Passage 1 (23-24高一上·浙江金华·期末) I finally climbed into bed at 1:20 in the morning. My friends had helped me celebrate my 31st birthday in the basement apartment, where I lived. Earlier in the day I had prepared for the unlikely event of a flood. We are about a third of a mile from the banks of the Ahr River. It had been raining buckets that week and the government had sent out a flood warning, though not for where I was. Still, I’d placed sandbags on the floor outside my garden door and put electronics on tables. “Silly bro!” My friends laughed at me for doing that, but I thought, why take a chance? As I drifted off to sleep, I was awakened by the sound of rushing water, as if I were lying beside a waterfall. When I got off the bed, I was shocked that cold water was rising fast. In darkness, I grabbed my cellphone and turned on the flashlight. When I stepped out of the bedroom, I saw water shooting through the gaps of the door. I began to panic. I knew I had to get out—fast! In bare feet, I started to make my way to the only escape: the door that led upstairs to the main floor. Finally I made it to the door and tried several times to-pull it open even just a little bit, but the rushing water shut it again. I looked around for anything I could use to keep it open. There in the corner was a coat rack (架子). I took it and, once again, opened the door, throwing the coat rack between the door and the frame (门框) to keep the door from shutting. Finally, I managed to make a gap just wide enough to squeeze (挤) through and make it into the hallway. I leaped on to the stairs and ran outside. I stood there in the darkness, wet through. What was once a lovely street was now a waterscape, with floating ruins instead of people and cars. The river had drowned (淹没) the neighborhood! 1．What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 2imply? A．Better safe than sorry. B．It never rains but it pours. C．A lost chance never returns. D．A friend in need is a friend indeed. 2．What was the author doing when water flooded in? A．Celebrating his birthday. B．Sleeping in the basement. C．Placing sandbags by the door. D．Playing with electronic devices. 3．Which of the following might be the most difficult for the author during the escape? A．Making his way to the door. B．Finding a coat rack. C．Keeping the door from shutting. D．Squeezing through the gap. 4．How did the author feel when standing on the street? A．Sad and shocked. B．Annoyed and anxious. C．Surprised and disappointed. D．Puzzled and awkward. 【答案】1．A 2．B 3．C 4．A 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者的一次脱险经历。由于连下大雨，使得河流决堤，爆发了洪水，殃及到作者所居住的区域。尽管作者提前做好了“抗洪”准备，但是，洪水的破坏力还是使得作者的家，以及该区域一片狼藉。幸运的是，作者逃生并幸存了下来。 1．词句猜测题。根据画线句以及前一句“Still, I’d placed sandbags on the floor outside my garden door and put electronics on tables. “Silly bro!” My friends laughed at me for doing that, but I thought, why take a chance? (尽管如此，我还是在花园门外的地板上放了沙袋，把电子设备放在桌子上。“傻弟弟！”我的朋友们嘲笑我那么做，但我想，为什么要冒这个险？)”可知，作者做好了迎接洪水的准备，还被朋友嘲笑，but表示转折，因此推断作者认为，这样做应该是更安全，防患于未然，因此画线句表示“安全总比后悔好”。故选A。 2．细节理解题。根据第三段的“As I drifted off to sleep, I was awakened by the sound of rushing water, as if I were lying beside a waterfall.(就在我迷迷糊糊睡着的时候，我被哗哗的水声惊醒了，仿佛我正躺在瀑布旁边。)”和第四段的“In bare feet, I started to make my way to the only escape: the door that led upstairs to the main floor. (光着脚，我开始向唯一的出口走去：通往楼上主楼的那扇门。)”可知，当洪水涌入的时候，作者正睡在地下室。故选B。 3．推理判断题。根据第四段的“Finally I made it to the door and tried several times to-pull it open even just a little bit, but the rushing water shut it again. I looked around for anything I could use to keep it open. There in the corner was a coat rack (架子). I took it and, once again, opened the door, throwing the coat rack between the door and the frame (门框) to keep the door from shutting. Finally, I managed to make a gap just wide enough to squeeze (挤) through and make it into the hallway.(最后，我终于走到门口，试了好几次，想把它拉开一点，但湍急的水流又把它关上了。我四处寻找能让它继续开着的东西。角落里有一个衣架。我拿过它，再一次打开门，把衣架扔在门和镜框之间，以防门关上。最后，我设法弄出了一个刚好能挤进去进入走廊的缺口。)”可知，在逃生过程中，对于作者来说最困难的是保持门不要关上。故选C。 4．推理判断题。根据最后一段的“What was once a lovely street was now a waterscape, with floating ruins instead of people and cars. The river had drowned (淹没) the neighborhood!(曾经令人愉快的街道现在变成了一片汪洋，到处都是漂浮的废墟，而不是人和车。洪水淹没了附近的人！)”可知，作者站在曾经令人愉快的大街上，洪水淹没了一切，因此推断作者此时的心情是悲哀和震惊的。故选A。 主题04 人与自然——环境与生态 Passage 1 (24-25高一上·浙江宁波·期末) As a primary school kid, Armand almost grew up at the campsite with his family. Every holiday, they’d spend a month and a half camping at Leentjiesklip in Langebaan. This is where Armand developed his love for camping. With this camping seed planted so early, he was always curious to explore other places. Three years after graduating from school, Armand bought his first bakkie (箱式轻便货车), a Toyota Cab. Besides camping, Armand also enjoys driving through scenic landscapes. He does this regularly to satisfy his desire to be in nature. His love of nature means he avoids busy places and settles down in quieter places. However, he doesn’t mind if he comes across someone out in the middle of nowhere; they’re likely to share the same interests. Verneukpan, now one of Armand’s favourite camping sites, was next on the schedule — a route that would finally take him past Augrabies, Vioolsdrif, the Richtersveld and Port Nolloth. Armand’s journeys aren’t carefully planned. He simply sets daily goals and refuses the usual routes. “Nothing stops you from hitting the road nice and early. Explore the world and enrich your journey instead of following a preplanned route.” Although Armand mostly camps alone, he’s not completely alone. His sheepdog, Buks, goes along. Buks, Armand’s campsite commander, has a specially-fitted seat on the back seat of the bakkie. When Armand arrives at his destination for the day, he grabs a beer and takes a walk with Buks to explore the surroundings. The camping chairs follow, and then Armand takes in the scenery. “Camping in nature is the perfect escape because it provides peace while refreshing your soul,” says Armand. 1．What made Armand fall in love with camping?

This is where Armand developed his love for camping. (每个假期，他们都会在Langebaan的Leentjiesklip露营一个半月。正是在这里，Armand培养起了对露营的热爱。)”可知，与家人一起露营的美好经历让Armand爱上了露营。故选D。 2．词句猜测题。由文章第二段中“Besides camping, Armand also enjoys driving through scenic landscapes. He does this regularly to satisfy his desire to be in nature. (除了露营，Armand还喜欢开车穿过风景如画的地方。他经常这样做，以满足自己亲近自然的渴望。)”可知，this指代的是前文提到的“driving through scenic landscapes (开车穿过风景优美的地方)”。故选D。 3．推理判断题。由文章第一段中“With this camping seed planted so early, he was always curious to explore other places. (由于这颗露营的种子早早种下，他总是好奇地去探索其他地方。)”可知，Armand是好奇的；再由文章第四段中“Armand’s journeys aren’t carefully planned. He simply sets daily goals and refuses the usual routes. (Armand的旅程并不是精心规划的。他只是设定每天的目标，拒绝走寻常路。)”可知，Armand是勇敢的。所以Armand可以被描述为“好奇和勇敢的”。故选C。 4．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是由文章第一段“As a primary school kid, Armand almost grew up at the campsite with his family. Every holiday, they’d spend a month and a half camping at Leentjiesklip in Langebaan. This is where Armand developed his love for camping. With this camping seed planted so early, he was always curious to explore other places. (Armand还是小学生时，就几乎是在露营地里和家人一起长大的。每个假期，他们都会在Langebaan的Leentjiesklip普露营一个半月。正是在这里，Armand培养起了对露营的热爱。由于这颗露营的种子早早种下，他总是好奇地去探索其他地方。)”可知，文章主要讲述了Armand对露营的热爱，以及他露营的经历。所以“Armand’s Love for Camping (Armand对露营的热爱)”作为文章标题最为合适。故选B。 27 / 27 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
