专题02 阅读理解 （记叙文） 主题01 人与自我——生活与学习 (23-24高三上·广东江门·期末) On July 28, I retired from my position. After teaching for many years, I looked forward to kayaking (划独木舟) with my grandsons, seeing friends and traveling for leisure with my husband. But my body had other plans for me. A broken spine (脊椎) in my back took me down a path that upended my plans. I have long had back pain. However, I pushed through the pain to do my work, which worsened my condition. Doctors urged an operation when increased disability meant I could not sit, stand or walk for a long time. But I wanted to see whether physical therapy (治疗) could create an easier option. Indeed, hard work with a great physical therapist has let me improve my mobility, sitting and standing. But X-rays told a different story. My spine was unstable and bending. After careful consideration and a second opinion from another professional, I agreed to surgery yet in the near term. Needless to say, the past months have been tough and the way ahead will be even tougher. Kayaking with my grandsons in the peacefulness of the lake is all out of reach, for now. When I met my physical therapist for the first time, I was a mess. He listened to me outline my history with tears and then calmly said, “You have to make friends with your body.” I have repeated that line to myself daily and worked to embrace my body. I have focused on gratitude. I’m grateful that I do not have a fatal disease. I’m grateful that the body I have remains alert to the world, loved by family and friends. I’m grateful that I am still myself. I don’t know exactly how the future will play out. The surgeon assures me that I should be able to get in my kayak by summer. But I may have to make friends with a different body, one that is mine regardless of the shape. 1．Why did the author’s condition become worse? A．She disliked physical therapy. B．She hurt her back when kayaking. C．She still worked despite back pain. D．She was unwilling to have an operation. 2．What can we learn about the author from paragraph 3? A．She forgot to kayak with her grandsons. B．She decided to accept an operation right away. C．She completely recovered after physical therapy. D．She asked another doctor for advice on the operation. 3．What changed the author’s attitude towards her body? A．Her wish to enjoy retirement life. B．Her physical therapist’s advice. C．Her worsening physical condition. D．Her love for her family and friends. 4．Which of the following is the most suitable title for the text? A．Learning to accept my body B．Enjoying my retirement life C．Fighting against my back pain D．Being grateful for what I have 主题01 人与自我——生活与学习 Passage 1 (24-25高三上·广东揭阳·期末) A clear-blue-eyed 19-year-old boy, Ben Alexander wanders along a narrow path. He climbs into a chicken house he recently built and smiles while climbing up a swinging bridge to a consulting room in a treehouse. This is treatment. Alexander is the first patient at the newly opened NewSTART, a video game and internet addiction recovery program. It’s hard to imagine that Alexander is now merrily giving a tour of the forest facility. In the past, he was addicted to a computer game for more than 16 hours a day, but he says, “It was pretty much all I was doing when I was in college.” Nearly a year ago, Alexander got so addicted to an online game that he would skip meals and give up sleep. He tried several times to quit the game but failed. On the edge of dropping out of school, Alexander turned to his dad for help. His parents checked him into an addiction treatment center immediately so that he could join the program. The program, run by Sophia and Albert, is located in Sophia’s house. Her husband and son also live there. There’s room for six patients, but during Alexander’s treatment, the others were on the way. He is given a regular schedule, with outdoor activities such as caring for chickens and goats. These activities are organized throughout the day, plus housework and meals. Sophia says the program is designed to help people learn to deal with being bored after returning home. Some psychologists hold the idea that pathological (病态的) game-playing or internet surfing is not really an addiction, but a sign of a deeper issue, such as depression or anxiety. But Albert believes the virtual world can be no less addicting than other addictions, such as smoking. 1．What is the main purpose of the NewSTART program? A．To provide suggestions on video games. B．To organize interesting outdoor activities. C．To teach teenagers how to build a treehouse. D．To solve game and internet addiction problems. 2．How did Alexander’s parents react when he turned to them for help? A．They seriously criticized him. B．They completely ignored it. C．They helped seek treatment. D．They advised quitting school. 3．Which of the following is true about Alexander during his treatment? A．He was the only patient there. B．He had other serious abuse problems. C．He felt unhappy in the treatment center. D．He wasn’t aware how serious his addiction was. 4．What does Albert believe about internet and video game addiction? A．It’s not a real addiction. B．It’s as addicting as smoking. C．It’s a sign of depression. D．It’s less serious than anxiety. Passage 2 (24-25高三上·广东华附实广雅深中四校·期末) My wife and I haven’t had much time to ourselves. At the end of a day’s parenting, there’s often so little time left that even 35 minutes of our favourite TV show feels pointless. Especially since several times this year, we’ve managed to time it right as a show gets cancelled. Bedtime is the real time-suck. Since our kids now share a room, our project has been putting them down at the same time. But this is tough. At six, our son insists on staying up later than a two-year-old. The problem is, I agree with him. I’ve been conditioned by my childhood. With 10 siblings, different bedtimes were strictly enforced as a tiny symbolic separation. Bedtimes came in rigid deadlines, informally attached to the popular soap operas. The youngest reported themselves abed once Neighbours finished. Over-12s had to retire once Home and Away ended at 7 p. m. But the true milestone for emotional maturity was one where its characters had nose rings and disliked school. To stay up past that point, you had to be old enough, and such elders governed those below like marines. I was the ninth of 11, so I still associate the credits of these soaps with the tuning of heads from eight elders, who scanned the room for those avoiding bedtime. It’s strange that what was once debatable now appears unquestionable. This, it seems, is the song of a bird that has come to love its cage. I just can’t help thinking my son needs a bedtime separate from a young child, not least one who takes 45 minutes to sleep in a fully darkened room. So, we make compromises. We put them down together in their respective beds at 7:15 pm. Story time is directed at my daughter, while my son is given two books. As slowly as we can, we steal away from the room, once there’s only soft breathing and light reading. Trembling, we tiptoe downstairs to become reacquainted with ourselves and, joy of joys, to watch a full hour of some show that has inevitably been canceled by the time you’re reading this. 1．What makes watching TV shows meaningless for the couple? A．The tiring workload of a full day of parenting duties. B．The argument between their two kids about bedtime. C．The unfortunate cancellation of their favourite shows. D．The brief time available after their caring for the kids. 2．What can we learn about the bedtimes in the author’s childhood? A．They symbolized the differing levels of growth. B．They reflected the power play among all siblings. C．They showed the parents’ preference for older kids. D．They marked the Importance of order in the family. 3．Why does the author mention “the song of a bird” in paragraph 4? A．To highlight his former resistance to bedtime rules. B．To show his conflicted attitude to old bedtime rules. C．To emphasize the contrast between songs and cages. D．To compare childhood rules with their compromises. 4．What is the author’s tone in the passage? A．Critical and casual. B．Reflective and playful C．Humorous and tolerant. D．Serious and sympathetic. Passage 3 (23-24高三上·广东揭阳汕尾·期末) About 30 years ago, an acoustic neuroma (听神经瘤) was found inside my body. The removal of the neuroma caused my temporary balance issues and permanent hearing loss in one ear. Apart from this, I was fine. Unexpectedly, the neuroma came back years later. It had to be removed again. Otherwise it would threaten the rest of my brain. When I awoke from the second operation, I had stroke-like symptoms. The whole right side of my body almost stopped functioning, and still does. Overnight my whole identity had changed. I used to effortlessly leap up the stairs two at a time, but now it takes fifteen minutes to struggle. Attempts at the recovery of the old me proved to be fruitless. My family role also shifted from a father to a dependent child, and coupled with my communication problems, this led to increased frustration (沮丧) and anger. There were concerns too about whether I would ever be accepted again in the wider world. Soon after this I just managed to swim in a pool. A ten-year-old boy I didn’t know came up and asked me if I had been on the water slide yet. As politely as possible, I said no, and we struck up a conversation about it. For the first time a stranger was speaking to me as an equal like before. Though insignificant then, it opened doors to a whole new way of being seen, and seeing myself. To make sure the neuroma did not reappear, I received radiation treatment for two hours regularly, during which I loved listening to music by Tom Waits, an eccentric (古 怪的) singer most people dislike, but I don’t care. For me, life after brain injury is like Waits’ odd works. Out of failure, ugliness, and horror-the most unpromising raw material-a beautiful diamond can be created that shines out even more brightly because of its dark surroundings. 1．What happened to the author after his single-sided deafness? A．He lost the ability to keep balance. B．His acoustic neuroma regrew. C．He underwent two operations in a row. D．His vision was accidentally damaged. 2．What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A．The author’s efforts to rebuild his disabled body. B．The author’s self-reflection on his cultural identity. C．The different attitudes of the author’s family to him. D．The considerable impact of the author’s brain injury. 3．How did the author find his talk with the boy? A．Reasonable. B．Engaging. C．Life-changing. D．In-depth. 4．What lesson did the author learn from Tom Waits’ music? A．Music is the universal language of mankind. B．Suffering often leads to new self-discovery. C．Kindness is the language that the deaf can hear. D．Live for yourself, not for the approval of others. 主题02 人与自我——做人与做事 Passage 1 (23-24高三上·广东东莞·期末) Benjamin Spock was a famous doctor for children. He completed his medical degree at Columbia University in New York City and began to treat babies and children in 1933. During the next ten years he continued to fit the theories about how children develop with what mothers told him about their children. What he found gave birth to his first book The Common Sense Book of Baby and Child Care. Before Dr. Spock’s book appeared, the most popular guide to raising children was Psychological Care of Infant and Child, whose writer was John B．Watson. He urged extreme firmness in dealing with children. The book warned parents never to kiss, hug or physically comfort their children. Dr. Spock’s book was very different. He gave gentle advice to ease the fears of new parents. Dr. Spock said his work was an effort to help parents trust their own natural abilities in caring for their children. He emphasized that parents’ “natural loving care” for their children is most important. Dr. Spock based much of his advice on the research and findings of the famous Austrian psychoanalyst (精神分析学家), Sigmund Freud. “I was interested in how children grow emotionally. And I think Freud has given us a very good explanation of development. ” Dr. Spock’s book discusses the mental and emotional development of children. It urges parents to use that information to decide how to deal with their babies when they are crying, hungry or tired. For example, Dr. Spock dismissed the popular idea of exactly timed feedings for babies. Baby care experts had believed that babies must be fed at the same times every day or they would grow up to be demanding children. Dr. Spock said babies should be fed when they are hungry. He argued that babies know better than anyone about when and how much they need to eat. He did not believe that feeding babies when they cry in hunger would make them more demanding. 750, 000 copies of the book were sold during the year after its release. 1．What may contribute to Spock’s first book? A．His fame. B．His mother C．His discovery. D．His education. 2．In what way does Spock’s book differ from others? A．Covering professional theories. B．Offering expert suggestions. C．Including comprehensive contents. D．Building up parents’ confidence. 3．Which of the following statements would Dr. Spock agree with? A．Parents should hug babies regularly. B．Parents should warn babies of danger. C．Parents should follow Watson’s opinions. D．Parents should feed babies when necessary. 4．What does the passage mainly talk about? A．An introduction to Spock and his book. B．Stories about Spock as a famous doctor. C．Differences between two baby care books. D．Influences of Spock’s book on other experts. Passage 2 (23-24高三上·广东深圳宝安区·期末) On March 1, Dr. Joseph Dituri began a project to stay for 100 days at a special hotel called Jules’s Undersea Lodge 30 feet under the ocean surface in a conservation area in Key Largo. The farther you go below the ocean’s surface, the greater the pressure. Dr. Dituri wanted to learn how this pressure would affect the human body over time. He believes that high pressure could help people live longer and stay healthier as they get older. It could also help doctors treat different medical problems, including brain injuries. While he was living underwater, Dr. Dituri stayed busy. He often exercised in the morning. He kept teaching his college classes virtually and had online chats with over 5,500 students from 15 different countries. He also worked with ocean experts to figure out ways to preserve the ocean. He even had a number of visitors who dove down to spend a little time with him. On June 9, Dr. Dituri returned to the surface with a new world record, beating the old record of 73 days. Many friends, family, and other supporters were there to greet him and celebrate his success. Doctors quickly checked him out to make sure he was okay. Actually, Dr. Dituri went through several big changes. For one thing, he became 1. 3 centimeters shorter during his time in the higher undersea pressure. Sleeping much better, his health greatly improved in a couple of ways. Dr. Dituri and his team plan to study the information they collected during the project. In November, Dr. Dituri will speak at an important medical meeting in Scotland about the discoveries the scientists made during the project. Dr. Dituri says his favorite part of the project was talking with young people. “Who knows?” he said. “Maybe one day, one of them will come back and break the record we just set. My greatest hope is that I have inspired a new generation of explorers and researchers to push past all boundaries. 1．What is Jules’s Undersea Lodge special for? A．Its convenience. B．Its reputation. C．Its location. D．Its luxuriousness. 2．Why did Dr. Dituri decide to stay long in the hotel? A．To treat his brain injuries. B．To live longer and healthier. C．To deal with medical problems. D．To test one of his academic ideas. 3．Which statement best describes Dr. Dituri’s undersea life? A．He kept a daily routine almost as usual. B．He was busy with medical experiments. C．He led a dull life separated from the others. D．He set a world record of living 73 days underwater. 4．What does Dr. Dituri wish young people to do? A．Communicate more with him. B．Explore the unknown bravely. C．Study the information of the project. D．Meet at the conference in Scotland. Passage 3 (24-25高三上·广东深圳宝安区·期末) “We were amazed at what we were seeing on a hot summer’s day, when a group of people with Parkinson’s disease (帕金森病) began rock climbing on the Carderock Cliffs of Maryland. Yes, rock climbing! It’s all part of their therapy (疗法),” says Molly Cupka, the no-nonsense instructor and cheerleader for this community of courageous climbers. She started this program, called Up ENDing Parkinson’s, as a non-profit 12 years ago. There’s no cure for Parkinson’s disease, which usually affects mobility, coordination, balance, and even speech. Jon Lessin was diagnosed (诊断) in 2003. He was once an all-around athlete. About 12 years ago, he retired because of Parkinson’s disease. It was Lessin who first had that big idea to use rock climbing as a therapy for Parkinson’s disease. “I wanted to do big-movement exercise,” he said. “And I found Molly Cupka at this gym.” Lessin proposed the idea to Molly Cupka, who runs the Sportrock Climbing Centers in Alexandria, Virginia. She thought it was worth a try, given the sport requires participants to plan ahead, and to know where to position their hands and feet. “I wish I could go into the brain and see what’s happening while people climb,” Molly Cupka said. There’s no evidence that climbing slows the progress of Parkinson’s disease, but Molly Cupka joined forces with Marymount University last year to study patients climbing for the first time. “We have people literally walking and carrying weights, you know, walking and looking, multitasking,” she said, The study found that, in so many words, if you climb, you may walk better. Marymount University’s Center for Optimal Aging studies on physical and psychosocial effects of rock climbing on individuals with Parkinson’s disease. Mark de Mulder, a musician and former director of the National Geospatial Program, doesn’t need a study to prove what climbing does for him. “It allows me to say, ‘All right, take that, Parkinson’s! I’m doing this!’ It just makes me feel stronger, and I’m fighting it. I’m doing something about it.” Many of the climbers have become friends who climb together several times a week, and they’ve become a support group, Parkinson’s Pals, who encourage each other. 1．How may people feel when seeing those with Parkinson’s disease rock climbing? A．Astonished. B．Confused. C．Annoyed. D．Embarrassed. 2．Why did Molly Cupka decide to try rock climbing therapy? A．It’s a low-impact exercise. B．It requires no planning. C．It involves multitasking. D．It’s an individual activity. 3．What did the study reveal about rock climbing to people with Parkinson’s disease? A．It improves their social life. B．It boosts their walking ability. C．It completely cures the disease. D．It slows the progress of the disease. 4．What can be a suitable title for the text? A．Rock Climbing as a Sport B．Living with Parkinson’s Disease C．The Impact of Exercise on Parkinson’s Disease D．Fighting Parkinson’s Disease with Rock Climbing 主题03 人与社会——社会服务与人际沟通 Passage 1 (23-24高三上·广东汕头·期末) I went to Yuanhe Middle School in Xihaigu, Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, a place that used to be one of the poorest regions in China, to participate in an English class with village children. Most kids in the school come from poor village homes and are “left behind” children — kids whose parents work in the cities to make a better living. After class, we chatted a lot, and they wondered about everything, using “outside world” as a term to describe the wider globe for many times. Taking care of rural children is essential. The school offers boarding services and free breakfast and lunch to the students, who can also video chat with their parents daily. To better care for the village children, the school provides outdoor hiking, technology, art, and foreign language programs to help them understand the outside world. After all, high-quality education to disadvantaged village children is the key to poverty-alleviation (扶贫) efforts. During my trip in Xihaigu, I also visited Ningxia Normal University, where over 70% of its students major in education. In 2013, local and central governments launched public-funded programs to recruit students interested in becoming teachers in Ningxia’s rural villages and districts. By 2023, 3,500 students were enrolled in the program, many of whom came from disadvantaged village households in Xihaigu. I had the opportunity to speak with Yang, a public-funded student from the once-poor Xihaigu region. After finishing school, he planned to stay in the Xihaigu area as a teacher to teach the kids knowledge. Yang told me that knowledge is the key to leading a better life as well as understanding the world. A lack of knowledge is one of the main factors of being poor. Money could help the poor for a while but not once for all. He hopes that by sharing knowledge with the kids in his hometown, he can help them broaden their horizons and develop an objective perspective on the world. He envisions a future where these children can use their knowledge to make a better life, stop people’s stereotypes (固有印象) about China and share Xihaigu’s stories with the rest of the world. 1．Why did the kids repeatedly mention “outside world”? A．Out of curiosity about the unknown world. B．With the hope of changing the world outside. C．To show their experiences about the wider globe. D．For lack of confidence towards their inner world. 2．What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A．The key to poverty-alleviation efforts. B．The aid to the kids on life and education. C．The teaching conditions of the school. D．The high-quality education of the school. 3．What can we infer from the author’s trip in Ningxia Normal University? A．Students in this university can be free of charge. B．The authorities support Ningxia’s rural areas by stressing education. C．The public-funded programs target at the students from poor regions. D．Money is less important than knowledge for the people in Xihaigu’s villages. 4．Which of the following may agree with Yang’s opinion? A．Learn and live. B．Sharp tools make good work. C．Hang on to your dreams. D．Poverty-alleviation starts with education. Passage 2 (23-24高三上·广东·期末) “It’s like riding a bike” is a common comment when you want to remind someone that it’s hard to forget a basic skill. But what if you don’t know how to ride a bike? This was something Annette Kruger, an avid (热衷的) cyclist, saw that was true for many women in Berlin, including refugees, who’d moved to there. Whether they weren’t allowed or didn’t have the opportunity to learn, these women had never experienced the health benefits and independence that cycling offers. That is why, seven years ago, Kruger started Bikeygees, a non-profit organization focused on teaching women to ride a bike. The group members gather for two hours for training sessions every week. Advanced riders can borrow bikes and helmets for free to practise on their own. The group also teaches women how to fix bikes, instilling (逐步培养) a sense of self-sufficiency, says Kruger. If they can do bike repairs, ride and learn the German rules of the road, they are awarded with a bike kit, including a bike, a helmet, a bike lock and bike tools. More than 500 bikes have been donated so far, and Kruger says the goal is to eventually provide all participants with their own bikes. To date, the group has taught more than 1,400 women and has met in more than 20 locations within Germany, including in emergency shelters. Participants have said that riding a bike allows them not only freedom of movement — some of the women use them to bring their children to school — but also hope for the future. Kruger says that she can see the impact that concentrating on a new skill has on the women. “We can’t replace what someone lost in their life, but we can offer something new. The success is measured in the smiles of the riders when they conquer another bike skill.” She recalls one student in her 60s who continued to practice through a bitter winter. She said, “This is a dream for me. I have been waiting my whole life to do this.” 1．What did the women in Berlin obtain from Bikeygees? A．Opportunities to learn German. B．Chances to move away from Berlin. C．Attention to their living conditions. D．Fitness and freedom to get around. 2．What do we learn about the Bikeygees project? A．It becomes increasingly popular. B．It has made large profits. C．It offers more bikes than needed. D．It allows beginners to practise individually. 3．Which is a benefit for the participants from the last paragraph? A．A fund for women. B．The capacity to earn money. C．The freedom of their children. D．A prospect of future life. 4．Which of the following best describes Annette Kruger? A．Caring. B．Innocent. C．Humorous. D．Honest. Passage 3 (24-25高三·广东清远清新区四校·期末) In 2009, Kevin Pearce was at the height of his professional snowboarding career and bound for the Winter Olympics. But in an instant, it came to an end. During training, he struck his head on the edge of a pipe, resulting in a traumatic (创伤的) brain injury. It changed the course of the then-22-year-old’s life. He had to relearn how to walk and talk and essentially start over. His older brother Adam quit his job and moved across the country to help him through rehab. He eventually started doing yoga, and his family saw how it transformed him and gave him a sense of hope: “It was the first time I remember so clearly coming out of a class with him and just seeing in his face this new expression, this new person.” Adam Pearce said, “We were like, ‘We need to figure out why and how that just happened.’” Wanting to bring hope and healing to others through yoga and meditation (冥想). Adain and Kevin co-founded the Love YourBrain Foundation in 2014. The nonprofit offers week-long meditations and community-based yoga classes across the United States for people who are living with long-term brain-related disabilities. “I think people feel isolated after brain injury because they don’t feel able, and when you don’t feel able, you generally retreat back inside.” Adam said, “At these retreats, people are given the space to lean into those deep challenges and express them and talk about them.” Ultimately, the organization aims to create a safe space and supportive community where people with brain-related disabilities can heal together. “Connection happens quickly because there’s such a shared common understanding among the group.” Adam said. “Once someone sees someone be vulnerable, it instantly allows the next person (to be). By the end, people start to see vulnerability as a superpower.” 1．What prevented Kevin from career development? A．A severe brain cancer. B．A new training routine. C．A devastating accident. D．A snowboarding test.. 2．Why did Kevin start doing yoga? A．To pick up snowboarding. B．To regain respect. C．To recover from brain injury.

A．Nature and universe. B．Social innovations. C．Technological discoveries. D．The magical world. Passage 4 (23-24高三上·广东潮州·期末) Growing up on a farm, I learned from my parents about the large bees we called mangangava. But in college when I gave a presentation about those bees, I didn’t mention their familiar name; instead I used formal terms when describing their adaptations for pollinating (授粉). I was afraid of being judged for expressing my personal knowledge in a science class. But when the instructor pressed me to tell the class whether I’d seen the bees myself and what I called them, my views and my whole career path began to change. I realized my background was valuable, and that my calling was to help educate others like me. My parents worked on a small farm and I often helped out when I was not in school. They had a close relationship with nature, something they learned from my grandparents and passed down to me. This was why I became interested in biology. In college, I joined a series of labs to gain research experience, but my interest in pursuing a career as a scientist began to wane after I realized my research was not helping poor people like my parents. As a black student from a rural community, I also felt out of place in most classes. The feeling of not belonging circled in my head. I sometimes thought about giving up. My instructor’s request that I share my knowledge of the mangangava bee changed my view. She saw that tapping into my personal experiences would help me grasp the scientific concepts. No other professor bad shown that kind of sensitivity, which helped me realize I did have a place in higher education and that I didn’t need to hide who I truly am. I’m now a master’s student in education, working on a project that explores the connect ion between science and traditional knowledge. I don’t think I’d be here if I hadn’t crossed paths with my instructor. We ne ed more educators and scientists like her people who can serve as role models and know that the best way to nurture new scientists is to allow students to be themselves. 1．What did the author initially think of his background when in college? A．It was of little use for his college studies. B．It motivated him to carry on his research. C．It gave him an advantage over others. D．It was something he wanted to hide. 2．What does the underlined word “wane” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A．remain B．advance C．fade D．rise 3．What should a good educator do according to the author? A．Value students’ personal knowledge and views. B．Inspire students to work as hard as he or she does. C．Treat students from different backgrounds equally. D．Be equipped with rich knowledge of a certain field. 4．What is the main idea of this passage? A．The family is one of the nature’s masterpieces. B．Every man is the architect of his own fortune. C．A good teacher is better than ten thousand books. D．Good habits formed at youth make all the difference. 主题04 人与社会——文学、艺术与体育 (24-25高三上·广东汕头·期末) In Sichuan Province, long-time resident French artist Vincent Cazeneuve, is integrating traditional Chinese lacquerware (漆器) skills with techniques taken from Western modern art into his creations. Born in Toulouse, Vincent has been living in southwest China for more than a decade. With the influence of French artists Jean Dunand and Gaston Suisse, his journey to unravel the secrets of Chinese lacquerware and his fascination for lacquer art started. “I studied their artworks and often wondered why they used Chinese lacquer. In those days, lacquer could not be found in France.” said the artist. Native to Asia, lacquer trees are planted and tapped for their liquid. It is almost impossible to find lacquer trees in Europe. So, instead of continually transporting lacquer back to France, Vincent chose to send himself to China. Having explored his connections with lacquer over the years, the artist also learned a range of techniques, which he integrated into his own artworks. To dive deep into the art of lacquerware, Vincent traveled to Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture (自治州) in Sichuan Province, where lacquer craftsmanship is famous. In fact, he actually met two lacquerware craftsmen, who taught him almost everything they knew. “I used to know about lacquerware of Yi just by looking at it. But I had never seen the Yi people before. I have never heard their language. I’ve never seen their villages. It’s only when I came here that I felt the power of their culture.” said Vincent. This field trip gave the artist new inspiration for his exhibition. After seeing Vincent’s exhibition, Liu Guanzhong, a professor at the School of Fine Arts of Tsinghua University said, “What he presents is China in his eyes. Vincent has explored a path: the ideas of a modern artist, but rooting the ancient skills in modern life. He finds new soil for an old seed to bloom into a new flower.” 1．What is Vincent devoted to according to the text? A．Creating western modern art. B．Combining Chinese and Western art. C．Making Chinese lacquerware. D．Introducing Chinese lacquerware to France. 2．What does the underlined word “unravel” mean in paragraph 2? A．Discover. B．Hide C．Keep D．Handle. 3．Why did Vincent travel to Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture? A．To become a famous craftsman. B．To explore the history of Yi people. C．To make friends with the craftsmen. D．To understand more about lacquer techniques. 4．What would Liu Guanzhong agree with about the exhibition? A．It was idealized. B．It featured modern art. C．It was innovative. D．It explored the root of art. 主题05 人与社会——历史、社会与文化 (24-25高三上·广东深圳·期末) Five years ago I was in Berlin for a few months, and my friend Michael invited me to a gathering of his friends at a neighborhood restaurant. It seemed like a typical bar — until one of the guys planted a little flag on the table: a symbol for their group. Back home in D．C． , I found myself thinking recently of Stammtisch. I mentioned it to a German friend, Amrai, as we walked around the zoo with our kids, admiring the goats and alpacas. Amra i laughed and said, “You know there’s a Stammtisch in D．C．? It’s mostly Germans.” I decided to attend it one cold December evening at a restaurant, where I was greeted by a warm atmosphere and lively conversations. The gathering’s organizer, Andrea Shalal, described the classic Stammtisch, “A Stammtisch means regulars’ table. It’s an age-old German tradition where a group of like-minded people — traditionally men — meet up at a restaurant at a regular time to have drinks and chat. In every German village, there is the corner bar, and in the corner is a table. It’s reserved for the sort of elders or other regulars.” “Growing up in the 1980s, 1990s, early 2000s, the idea of Stammtisch in Germany’s youth was sort of rejected as ‘This is something that our parents’ generation, our grandparents’ generation, would do’,” said Robert Christoffel,45. But he’s noticed that’s starting to change. ‘A lot of my friends, nowadays, in Germany — maybe because they have gotten a little older as well — they are now meeting up and sort of establishing Stammtisch,” he told me. In modern life, as fewer people go to church, these gatherings can take on even more significance. Werner Hein, who’s 80 years old, described the Stammtisch this way, “That’s a place where you meet in person. You open up on things, on your very personal things,” Hein said. “Nowadays, I have to almost say it’s more important than ever to have a kind of Stammtisch.” 1．Why did one of the guys plant the little flag? A．To mark the group. B．To follow the tradition. C．To make it decorative. D．To draw others’ attention. 2．What did the author learn about the Stammtisch from Andrea Shalal? A．Its root. B．Its concept. C．Its expansion. D．Its reform. 3．How do young Germans view the Stammtisch now? A．They consider it a fashion. B．They gradually take to it. C．They advocate for it firmly. D．They stay unconcerned about it. 4．Which might Werner Hein agree with regarding the Stammtisch? A．It lacks authenticity. B．It demands formality. C．It’s as vital as the church. D．It aids deep communication. 主题06 人与社会——科学与技术 (23-24高三上·广东深圳罗湖区·期末) Dr. Elsa Olivetti has always been interested in how materials science can change the way we store energy. When she started her work at MIT, she was excited about discovering the secrets of sustainable battery production. During her research, her main focus was on a special kind of battery, called solid-state batteries, and a material named LLZO. She discovered a big challenge: finding and getting a special material called tantalum, which is not easy to find but necessary for the production of LLZO. This inspired her to look at the whole process of making batteries beyond the laboratory, from getting the materials to producing the final product. Dr. Olivetti and her team looked into how these materials are mined, processed, and turned into batteries. They found that if we want to use more electric cars in the future, we need to get much better at producing and delivering materials like tantalum. Then, Dr. Olivetti aims to figure out a creative solution to the challenge. She worked with industry leaders to develop sustainable mining practices and called on policy changes to support a better supply chain, which proves effective. Dr. Olivetti stresses that her work is not meant to replace traditional methods. Instead, it’s meant to help make the battery production better by looking broadly at the things that could make energy storage efficient. Looking ahead, Dr. Olivetti remains committed to improving sustainable energy storage. She wants to make the production process less wasteful and more cost-effective, creating a future where energy storage is not only good but also kind to our planet. Reflecting on her work, Dr. Olivetti often says that what she does is more than just science. “Each step we take towards more efficient and environmentally-friendly battery technology is a step towards a better world,” stressing the importance of curiosity and perseverance in the pursuit of scientific exploration. 1．What was Dr. Olivetti’s interest in her work at MIT? A．Making electric cars cheaper. B．Making batteries more sustainable. C．Figuring out ways to mine materials. D．Dealing with challenges of production. 2．Why is tantalum important in Dr. Olivetti’s research? A．It reduces production costs. B．It helps sustainable mining. C．It is a common battery material. D．It is important for LLZO production. 3．How did Dr. Olivetti deal with the challenges in battery production? A．She focused on lab experiments. B．She worked with industry leaders. C．She developed a new type of electric car. D．She replaced old methods with modern ones. 4．What is the passage mainly about? A．The Science of Battery. B．The Future of Electric Cars. C．The Importance of Tantalum. D．The Work on Better Batteries. / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 专题02 阅读理解 （记叙文） 主题01 人与自我——生活与学习 (23-24高三上·广东江门·期末) On July 28, I retired from my position. After teaching for many years, I looked forward to kayaking (划独木舟) with my grandsons, seeing friends and traveling for leisure with my husband. But my body had other plans for me. A broken spine (脊椎) in my back took me down a path that upended my plans. I have long had back pain. However, I pushed through the pain to do my work, which worsened my condition. Doctors urged an operation when increased disability meant I could not sit, stand or walk for a long time. But I wanted to see whether physical therapy (治疗) could create an easier option. Indeed, hard work with a great physical therapist has let me improve my mobility, sitting and standing. But X-rays told a different story. My spine was unstable and bending. After careful consideration and a second opinion from another professional, I agreed to surgery yet in the near term. Needless to say, the past months have been tough and the way ahead will be even tougher. Kayaking with my grandsons in the peacefulness of the lake is all out of reach, for now. When I met my physical therapist for the first time, I was a mess. He listened to me outline my history with tears and then calmly said, “You have to make friends with your body.” I have repeated that line to myself daily and worked to embrace my body. I have focused on gratitude. I’m grateful that I do not have a fatal disease. I’m grateful that the body I have remains alert to the world, loved by family and friends. I’m grateful that I am still myself. I don’t know exactly how the future will play out. The surgeon assures me that I should be able to get in my kayak by summer. But I may have to make friends with a different body, one that is mine regardless of the shape. 1．Why did the author’s condition become worse? A．She disliked physical therapy. B．She hurt her back when kayaking. C．She still worked despite back pain. D．She was unwilling to have an operation. 2．What can we learn about the author from paragraph 3? A．She forgot to kayak with her grandsons. B．She decided to accept an operation right away. C．She completely recovered after physical therapy. D．She asked another doctor for advice on the operation. 3．What changed the author’s attitude towards her body? A．Her wish to enjoy retirement life. B．Her physical therapist’s advice. C．Her worsening physical condition. D．Her love for her family and friends. 4．Which of the following is the most suitable title for the text? A．Learning to accept my body B．Enjoying my retirement life C．Fighting against my back pain D．Being grateful for what I have 【答案】1．C 2．D 3．B 4．A 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者原计划在退休后享受休闲时光，但却因为背部脊椎的病情计划被打乱。作者长期背痛，却仍然工作，导致病情恶化，尽管物理治疗有所帮助，但作者还是进行了手术。手术后作者的日子很艰难，听了理疗师建议和自己的身体做朋友后，作者改变了对自己身体的态度，开始接受自己的身体，对生活充满感激。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段中“I have long had back pain.

He climbs into a chicken house he recently built and smiles while climbing up a swinging bridge to a consulting room in a treehouse. This is treatment. Alexander is the first patient at the newly opened NewSTART, a video game and internet addiction recovery program. It’s hard to imagine that Alexander is now merrily giving a tour of the forest facility. In the past, he was addicted to a computer game for more than 16 hours a day, but he says, “It was pretty much all I was doing when I was in college.” Nearly a year ago, Alexander got so addicted to an online game that he would skip meals and give up sleep. He tried several times to quit the game but failed. On the edge of dropping out of school, Alexander turned to his dad for help. His parents checked him into an addiction treatment center immediately so that he could join the program. The program, run by Sophia and Albert, is located in Sophia’s house. Her husband and son also live there. There’s room for six patients, but during Alexander’s treatment, the others were on the way. He is given a regular schedule, with outdoor activities such as caring for chickens and goats. These activities are organized throughout the day, plus housework and meals. Sophia says the program is designed to help people learn to deal with being bored after returning home. Some psychologists hold the idea that pathological (病态的) game-playing or internet surfing is not really an addiction, but a sign of a deeper issue, such as depression or anxiety. But Albert believes the virtual world can be no less addicting than other addictions, such as smoking. 1．What is the main purpose of the NewSTART program? A．To provide suggestions on video games. B．To organize interesting outdoor activities. C．To teach teenagers how to build a treehouse. D．To solve game and internet addiction problems. 2．How did Alexander’s parents react when he turned to them for help? A．They seriously criticized him. B．They completely ignored it. C．They helped seek treatment. D．They advised quitting school. 3．Which of the following is true about Alexander during his treatment? A．He was the only patient there.

A．It’s not a real addiction. B．It’s as addicting as smoking. C．It’s a sign of depression. D．It’s less serious than anxiety. 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．A 4．B 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了对网络上瘾的亚历山大被父母送入了毒瘾治疗中心治疗的故事。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段中“Alexander is the first patient at the newly opened NewSTART, a video game and internet addiction recovery program.”（亚历山大是新开设的 NewSTART 的第一位患者，NewSTART 是一个视频游戏和网络成瘾康复项目。）可知，NewSTART 计划的主要目的是解决游戏和网络成瘾问题。故选D。 2．细节理解题。根据第三段中“On the edge of dropping out of school, Alexander turned to his dad for help. His parents checked him into an addiction treatment center immediately so that he could join the program.（在辍学的边缘，亚历山大向他的父亲寻求帮助。他的父母立即将他送入毒瘾治疗中心，以便他可以加入该计划。）”可知，当亚历山大向父母寻求帮助时，他的父母立即将他送入毒瘾治疗中心，即帮助他寻求治疗。故选C。 3．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“There’s room for six patients, but during Alexander’s treatment, the others were on the way.（房间可以容纳六名病人，但在亚历山大治疗期间，其他人正在来这里的路上。）”可知，Alexander在治疗期间他是那里唯一的病人。故选A。 4．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“But Albert believes the virtual world can be no less addicting than other addictions, such as smoking.（但艾伯特认为，虚拟世界的成瘾程度并不比吸烟等其他成瘾行为少。）”可推知，阿尔伯特对互联网和电子游戏成瘾的看法是它就像吸烟一样让人上瘾。故选B。 Passage 2 (24-25高三上·广东华附实广雅深中四校·期末) My wife and I haven’t had much time to ourselves. At the end of a day’s parenting, there’s often so little time left that even 35 minutes of our favourite TV show feels pointless. Especially since several times this year, we’ve managed to time it right as a show gets cancelled. Bedtime is the real time-suck. Since our kids now share a room, our project has been putting them down at the same time. But this is tough. At six, our son insists on staying up later than a two-year-old. The problem is, I agree with him. I’ve been conditioned by my childhood. With 10 siblings, different bedtimes were strictly enforced as a tiny symbolic separation. Bedtimes came in rigid deadlines, informally attached to the popular soap operas. The youngest reported themselves abed once Neighbours finished. Over-12s had to retire once Home and Away ended at 7 p. m. But the true milestone for emotional maturity was one where its characters had nose rings and disliked school. To stay up past that point, you had to be old enough, and such elders governed those below like marines. I was the ninth of 11, so I still associate the credits of these soaps with the tuning of heads from eight elders, who scanned the room for those avoiding bedtime. It’s strange that what was once debatable now appears unquestionable. This, it seems, is the song of a bird that has come to love its cage. I just can’t help thinking my son needs a bedtime separate from a young child, not least one who takes 45 minutes to sleep in a fully darkened room. So, we make compromises. We put them down together in their respective beds at 7:15 pm. Story time is directed at my daughter, while my son is given two books. As slowly as we can, we steal away from the room, once there’s only soft breathing and light reading. Trembling, we tiptoe downstairs to become reacquainted with ourselves and, joy of joys, to watch a full hour of some show that has inevitably been canceled by the time you’re reading this. 1．What makes watching TV shows meaningless for the couple? A．The tiring workload of a full day of parenting duties. B．The argument between their two kids about bedtime. C．The unfortunate cancellation of their favourite shows. D．The brief time available after their caring for the kids. 2．What can we learn about the bedtimes in the author’s childhood? A．They symbolized the differing levels of growth. B．They reflected the power play among all siblings. C．They showed the parents’ preference for older kids. D．They marked the Importance of order in the family. 3．Why does the author mention “the song of a bird” in paragraph 4? A．To highlight his former resistance to bedtime rules. B．To show his conflicted attitude to old bedtime rules. C．To emphasize the contrast between songs and cages. D．To compare childhood rules with their compromises. 4．What is the author’s tone in the passage? A．Critical and casual. B．Reflective and playful C．Humorous and tolerant. D．Serious and sympathetic. 【答案】1．D 2．A 3．B 4．B 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。本文讲述了作者夫妇在育儿后的生活状态，特别是关于孩子睡觉时间的安排和作者对此的思考与妥协。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段“At the end of a day’s parenting, there’s often so little time left that even 35 minutes of our favourite TV show feels pointless. (一天的育儿工作结束后，留给我们的时间往往很少，甚至35分钟我们最喜欢的电视节目都觉得毫无意义。)”可知，照顾孩子后的短暂时间让看电视对这对夫妇来说毫无意义。故选D。 2．细节理解题。根据第三段“With 10 siblings, different bedtimes were strictly enforced as a tiny symbolic separation. Bedtimes came in rigid deadlines, informally attached to the popular soap operas. The youngest reported themselves abed once Neighbours finished. Over-12s had to retire once Home and Away ended at 7 p. m. But the true milestone for emotional maturity was one where its characters had nose rings and disliked school. (有10个兄弟姐妹，不同的就寝时间被严格强制执行，作为一种微小的象征性分离。睡觉时间有严格的截止日期，非正式地与流行的肥皂剧联系在一起。“邻居们”一讲完，最小的几个孩子就说自己上床睡觉了。12岁以上的孩子必须在《主客场》晚上7点结束后退休。但情感成熟的真正里程碑是，剧中人物戴着鼻环，不喜欢上学。)”可知，作者童年的就寝时间象征着不同的成长水平。故选A。 3．推理判断题。根据第四段“It’s strange that what was once debatable now appears unquestionable. This, it seems, is the song of a bird that has come to love its cage. (奇怪的是，曾经有争议的事情现在似乎毫无疑问了。这似乎是一只爱上笼子的鸟儿的歌声。)”可知，作者在第4段提到“鸟之歌”是为了表明他对旧的就寝规则的矛盾态度。故选B。 4．推理判断题。根据第二段“Bedtime is the real time-suck. Since our kids now share a room, our project has been putting them down at the same time. But this is tough. At six, our son insists on staying up later than a two-year-old. The problem is, I agree with him. (就寝时间真的很浪费。由于我们的孩子们现在共用一个房间，我们的项目一直在同时让他们失望。但这很难。六岁的儿子坚持要比两岁的孩子晚睡。问题是，我同意他的观点。)”可知，作者夫妇努力让孩子在同一时间睡觉但很困难，作者甚至赞同儿子晚点睡觉，表现出一种反思的语气；最后一段“Trembling, we tiptoe downstairs to become reacquainted with ourselves and, joy of joys, to watch a full hour of some show that has inevitably been canceled by the time you’re reading this. (我们颤抖着，蹑手蹑脚地走下楼梯，重新认识自己，并在快乐的喜悦中，看了整整一个小时的节目，在你读到这篇文章的时候，这些节目不可避免地被取消了。)”可知，作者夫妇做出的妥协，并在孩子睡着后悄悄地去看电视节目，这部分的语气则较为轻松和诙谐，故作者在这篇文章中的语气是反思和俏皮的。故选B。 Passage 3 (23-24高三上·广东揭阳汕尾·期末) About 30 years ago, an acoustic neuroma (听神经瘤) was found inside my body. The removal of the neuroma caused my temporary balance issues and permanent hearing loss in one ear. Apart from this, I was fine. Unexpectedly, the neuroma came back years later. It had to be removed again. Otherwise it would threaten the rest of my brain. When I awoke from the second operation, I had stroke-like symptoms. The whole right side of my body almost stopped functioning, and still does. Overnight my whole identity had changed. I used to effortlessly leap up the stairs two at a time, but now it takes fifteen minutes to struggle. Attempts at the recovery of the old me proved to be fruitless. My family role also shifted from a father to a dependent child, and coupled with my communication problems, this led to increased frustration (沮丧) and anger. There were concerns too about whether I would ever be accepted again in the wider world. Soon after this I just managed to swim in a pool. A ten-year-old boy I didn’t know came up and asked me if I had been on the water slide yet. As politely as possible, I said no, and we struck up a conversation about it. For the first time a stranger was speaking to me as an equal like before. Though insignificant then, it opened doors to a whole new way of being seen, and seeing myself. To make sure the neuroma did not reappear, I received radiation treatment for two hours regularly, during which I loved listening to music by Tom Waits, an eccentric (古 怪的) singer most people dislike, but I don’t care. For me, life after brain injury is like Waits’ odd works. Out of failure, ugliness, and horror-the most unpromising raw material-a beautiful diamond can be created that shines out even more brightly because of its dark surroundings. 1．What happened to the author after his single-sided deafness? A．He lost the ability to keep balance. B．His acoustic neuroma regrew. C．He underwent two operations in a row. D．His vision was accidentally damaged. 2．What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A．The author’s efforts to rebuild his disabled body. B．The author’s self-reflection on his cultural identity. C．The different attitudes of the author’s family to him. D．The considerable impact of the author’s brain injury. 3．How did the author find his talk with the boy? A．Reasonable. B．Engaging. C．Life-changing. D．In-depth. 4．What lesson did the author learn from Tom Waits’ music? A．Music is the universal language of mankind. B．Suffering often leads to new self-discovery. C．Kindness is the language that the deaf can hear. D．Live for yourself, not for the approval of others. 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．C 4．B 【导语】本文是记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者神经瘤复发后，造成了脑损伤，对他影响很大，但是一次作者与一个小男孩平等地对话，改变了他的生活，让他以全新的方式看待自己。作者感悟到：苦难常常会带来新的自我发现。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段中“The removal of the neuroma caused my temporary balance issues and permanent hearing loss in one ear.(神经瘤的切除导致了我暂时的平衡问题和一只耳朵的永久性听力损失。)”和第二段中“Unexpectedly, the neuroma came back years later.(没想到几年后神经瘤又复发了。)”可知，作者单侧耳聋后，他的听神经瘤又长出来了。故选B。 2．主旨大意题。根据第三段“Overnight my whole identity had changed. I used to effortlessly leap up the stairs two at a time, but now it takes fifteen minutes to struggle. Attempts at the recovery of the old me proved to be fruitless. My family role also shifted from a father to a dependent child, and coupled with my communication problems, this led to increased frustration (沮丧) and anger.(一夜之间，我的整个身份都变了。以前我可以毫不费力地一次跳两层楼梯，但现在需要十五分钟才能挣扎。恢复旧我的尝试被证明是徒劳的。我的家庭角色也从父亲转变为受抚养的孩子，再加上我的沟通问题，这导致我的沮丧和愤怒增加。)”可知，第三段主要讲了作者的脑损伤对他影响很大。故选D。 3．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“For the first time a stranger was speaking to me as an equal like before. Though insignificant then, it opened doors to a whole new way of being seen, and seeing myself.(第一次有一个陌生人像以前一样平等地和我说话。虽然当时微不足道，但它为人们以全新的方式被看待和看待自己打开了大门。)”可推知，作者认为与男孩的谈话改变了他的生活，让他以全新的方式看待自己，故选C。 4．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“For me, life after brain injury is like Waits’odd works. Out of failure, ugliness, and horror-the most unpromising raw material-a beautiful diamond can be created that shines out even more brightly because of its dark surroundings.(对我来说，脑损伤后的生活就像Waits的奇葩作品。从失败、丑陋和恐怖这些最没有希望的原材料中，可以创造出一颗美丽的钻石，它在黑暗的环境中更加闪耀)”可知，作者认为Waits的音乐作品让他懂得，失败、丑陋和恐怖这些最没有希望的原材料可以创造出一颗美丽的钻石，它在黑暗的环境中更加闪耀，这说明作者意识到自己经历的疾病苦难，会让他更加闪耀，由此可推知，作者从Tom Waits的音乐中学到的教训是：苦难常常会带来新的自我发现，故选B。 主题02 人与自我——做人与做事 Passage 1 (23-24高三上·广东东莞·期末) Benjamin Spock was a famous doctor for children. He completed his medical degree at Columbia University in New York City and began to treat babies and children in 1933. During the next ten years he continued to fit the theories about how children develop with what mothers told him about their children. What he found gave birth to his first book The Common Sense Book of Baby and Child Care. Before Dr. Spock’s book appeared, the most popular guide to raising children was Psychological Care of Infant and Child, whose writer was John B．Watson. He urged extreme firmness in dealing with children. The book warned parents never to kiss, hug or physically comfort their children. Dr. Spock’s book was very different. He gave gentle advice to ease the fears of new parents. Dr. Spock said his work was an effort to help parents trust their own natural abilities in caring for their children. He emphasized that parents’ “natural loving care” for their children is most important. Dr. Spock based much of his advice on the research and findings of the famous Austrian psychoanalyst (精神分析学家), Sigmund Freud. “I was interested in how children grow emotionally. And I think Freud has given us a very good explanation of development. ” Dr. Spock’s book discusses the mental and emotional development of children. It urges parents to use that information to decide how to deal with their babies when they are crying, hungry or tired. For example, Dr. Spock dismissed the popular idea of exactly timed feedings for babies. Baby care experts had believed that babies must be fed at the same times every day or they would grow up to be demanding children. Dr. Spock said babies should be fed when they are hungry. He argued that babies know better than anyone about when and how much they need to eat. He did not believe that feeding babies when they cry in hunger would make them more demanding. 750, 000 copies of the book were sold during the year after its release. 1．What may contribute to Spock’s first book? A．His fame. B．His mother C．His discovery. D．His education. 2．In what way does Spock’s book differ from others? A．Covering professional theories. B．Offering expert suggestions. C．Including comprehensive contents. D．Building up parents’ confidence. 3．Which of the following statements would Dr. Spock agree with? A．Parents should hug babies regularly. B．Parents should warn babies of danger. C．Parents should follow Watson’s opinions. D．Parents should feed babies when necessary. 4．What does the passage mainly talk about? A．An introduction to Spock and his book. B．Stories about Spock as a famous doctor. C．Differences between two baby care books. D．Influences of Spock’s book on other experts. 【答案】1．C 2．D 3．D 4．A 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。本文主要介绍了儿童医生Spock的生平和成就。Spock医生在哥伦比亚大学获得医学学位后，于1933年开始治疗婴儿和儿童。他通过与母亲们的交流，总结儿童成长的理论，并将这些理论融入他的第一本著作《常识婴儿和儿童护理书》。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段中“During the next ten years he continued to fit the theories about how children develop with what mothers told him about their children. What he found gave birth to his first book The Common Sense Book of Baby and Child Care.(在接下来的十年里，他继续把关于孩子如何发展的理论与母亲们告诉他的孩子的情况相吻合。他的发现引发了他的第一本书《婴幼儿护理常识》。)”可知，Spock在过去十年中的发现，引发了他的第一本书。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据第三段中“Dr. Spock’s book was very different. He gave gentle advice to ease the fears of new parents. Dr. Spock said his work was an effort to help parents trust their own natural abilities in caring for their children. (Spock博士的书则完全不同。他给了一些温和的建议来减轻初为父母的恐惧。Spock博士说，他的工作是为了帮助父母相信自己照顾孩子的天生能力。)”可知，Spock博士的书不同之处在于他给那些初为父母的人们一些温和的建议，由此让他们相信自己能够照顾好孩子即建立父母的信心。故选D。 3．推理判断题。根据倒数第三段中“Baby care experts had believed that babies must be fed at the same times every day or they would grow up to be demanding children.(婴儿护理专家认为，婴儿必须每天在同一时间喂食，否则他们长大后会成为要求很高的孩子。)”以及倒数第二段中“Dr. Spock said babies should be fed when they are hungry. He argued that babies know better than anyone about when and how much they need to eat.( Spock博士说，应该在婴儿饿的时候给他们喂食。他认为，婴儿比任何人都更清楚他们什么时候需要吃，需要吃多少。)”可知，婴儿护理专家认为，婴儿必须每天在同一时间喂食，否则他们长大后会成为要求很高的孩子，可是Spock认为应该在婴儿饿的时候给他们喂食即父母应该在必要时给婴儿喂奶。故选D。 4．主旨大意题。根据第一段“During the next ten years he continued to fit the theories about how children develop with what mothers told him about their children. What he found gave birth to his first book The Common Sense Book of Baby and Child Care.(在接下来的十年里，他继续把关于孩子如何发展的理论与母亲们告诉他的孩子的情况相吻合。他的发现引发了他的第一本书《婴幼儿护理常识》。)”以及通读全文，本文主要介绍了儿童医生Spock的生平和成就。Spock医生在哥伦比亚大学获得医学学位后，于1933年开始治疗婴儿和儿童。他通过与母亲们的交流，总结儿童成长的理论，并将这些理论融入他的第一本著作《常识婴儿和儿童护理书》。A选项“An introduction to Spock and his book.(介绍Spock和他的书。)”概括文章的主要内容，符合题意。故选A。 Passage 2 (23-24高三上·广东深圳宝安区·期末) On March 1, Dr. Joseph Dituri began a project to stay for 100 days at a special hotel called Jules’s Undersea Lodge 30 feet under the ocean surface in a conservation area in Key Largo. The farther you go below the ocean’s surface, the greater the pressure. Dr. Dituri wanted to learn how this pressure would affect the human body over time. He believes that high pressure could help people live longer and stay healthier as they get older. It could also help doctors treat different medical problems, including brain injuries. While he was living underwater, Dr. Dituri stayed busy. He often exercised in the morning. He kept teaching his college classes virtually and had online chats with over 5,500 students from 15 different countries. He also worked with ocean experts to figure out ways to preserve the ocean. He even had a number of visitors who dove down to spend a little time with him. On June 9, Dr. Dituri returned to the surface with a new world record, beating the old record of 73 days. Many friends, family, and other supporters were there to greet him and celebrate his success. Doctors quickly checked him out to make sure he was okay. Actually, Dr. Dituri went through several big changes. For one thing, he became 1. 3 centimeters shorter during his time in the higher undersea pressure. Sleeping much better, his health greatly improved in a couple of ways. Dr. Dituri and his team plan to study the information they collected during the project. In November, Dr. Dituri will speak at an important medical meeting in Scotland about the discoveries the scientists made during the project. Dr. Dituri says his favorite part of the project was talking with young people. “Who knows?” he said. “Maybe one day, one of them will come back and break the record we just set.

Yes, rock climbing! It’s all part of their therapy (疗法),” says Molly Cupka, the no-nonsense instructor and cheerleader for this community of courageous climbers. She started this program, called Up ENDing Parkinson’s, as a non-profit 12 years ago. There’s no cure for Parkinson’s disease, which usually affects mobility, coordination, balance, and even speech. Jon Lessin was diagnosed (诊断) in 2003. He was once an all-around athlete. About 12 years ago, he retired because of Parkinson’s disease. It was Lessin who first had that big idea to use rock climbing as a therapy for Parkinson’s disease. “I wanted to do big-movement exercise,” he said. “And I found Molly Cupka at this gym.” Lessin proposed the idea to Molly Cupka, who runs the Sportrock Climbing Centers in Alexandria, Virginia. She thought it was worth a try, given the sport requires participants to plan ahead, and to know where to position their hands and feet. “I wish I could go into the brain and see what’s happening while people climb,” Molly Cupka said. There’s no evidence that climbing slows the progress of Parkinson’s disease, but Molly Cupka joined forces with Marymount University last year to study patients climbing for the first time. “We have people literally walking and carrying weights, you know, walking and looking, multitasking,” she said, The study found that, in so many words, if you climb, you may walk better. Marymount University’s Center for Optimal Aging studies on physical and psychosocial effects of rock climbing on individuals with Parkinson’s disease. Mark de Mulder, a musician and former director of the National Geospatial Program, doesn’t need a study to prove what climbing does for him. “It allows me to say, ‘All right, take that, Parkinson’s! I’m doing this!’ It just makes me feel stronger, and I’m fighting it. I’m doing something about it.” Many of the climbers have become friends who climb together several times a week, and they’ve become a support group, Parkinson’s Pals, who encourage each other. 1．How may people feel when seeing those with Parkinson’s disease rock climbing? A．Astonished. B．Confused. C．Annoyed. D．Embarrassed. 2．Why did Molly Cupka decide to try rock climbing therapy? A．It’s a low-impact exercise. B．It requires no planning. C．It involves multitasking. D．It’s an individual activity. 3．What did the study reveal about rock climbing to people with Parkinson’s disease? A．It improves their social life. B．It boosts their walking ability. C．It completely cures the disease. D．It slows the progress of the disease. 4．What can be a suitable title for the text? A．Rock Climbing as a Sport B．Living with Parkinson’s Disease C．The Impact of Exercise on Parkinson’s Disease D．Fighting Parkinson’s Disease with Rock Climbing 【答案】1．A 2．C 3．B 4．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了一群帕金森病患者通过攀岩进行治疗的故事。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段“We were amazed at what we were seeing on a hot summer’s day, when a group of people with Parkinson’s disease (帕金森病) began rock climbing on the Carderock Cliffs of Maryland. (在一个炎热的夏天，当一群帕金森病患者开始在马里兰州的卡德罗克悬崖上攀岩时，我们对我们所看到的感到惊讶)”可知，人们看到帕金森病患者攀岩会感到惊讶。故选A。 2．推理判断题。根据第三段“She thought it was worth a try, given the sport requires participants to plan ahead, and to know where to position their hands and feet. “I wish I could go into the brain and see what’s happening while people climb,” Molly Cupka said. (她认为值得一试，因为这项运动要求参与者提前计划，并知道手脚的位置。“我希望我能进入大脑，看看人们在攀登时发生了什么，”Molly Cupka说)”以及第四段““We have people literally walking and carrying weights, you know, walking and looking, multitasking,” she said, The study found that, in so many words, if you climb, you may walk better. (她说：“我们让人们一边走路一边负重，你知道，一边走路一边看，一心多用。”研究发现，总而言之，如果你爬山，你可能会走得更好)”可推知，Molly Cupka决定尝试用攀岩治疗帕金森病是因为攀岩需要提前规划，并且涉及多任务处理。故选C。 3．细节理解题。根据第四段““We have people literally walking and carrying weights, you know, walking and looking, multitasking,” she said, The study found that, in so many words, if you climb, you may walk better. (她说：“我们让人们一边走路一边负重，你知道，一边走路一边看，一心多用。”研究发现，总而言之，如果你爬山，你可能会走得更好)”可知，研究发现，攀岩能提高帕金森病患者的行走能力。故选B。 4．主旨大意题。 通读全文，尤其第一段““We were amazed at what we were seeing on a hot summer’s day, when a group of people with Parkinson’s disease (帕金森病) began rock climbing on the Carderock Cliffs of Maryland.

She started this program, called Up ENDing Parkinson’s, as a non-profit 12 years ago. (“在一个炎热的夏天，当一群帕金森病患者开始在马里兰州的卡德罗克悬崖上攀岩时，我们对我们所看到的感到惊讶。是的，攀岩！这都是他们治疗的一部分，”莫莉·库普卡（Molly Cupka）说，她是这个勇敢的登山者社区的严肃教练和啦啦队长。” )可知，文章主要讲述了一群帕金森病患者通过攀岩进行治疗，展现了他们与疾病抗争的过程。所以D选项“用攀岩对抗帕金森病”符合文章大意，故选D。 主题03 人与社会——社会服务与人际沟通 Passage 1 (23-24高三上·广东汕头·期末) I went to Yuanhe Middle School in Xihaigu, Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, a place that used to be one of the poorest regions in China, to participate in an English class with village children. Most kids in the school come from poor village homes and are “left behind” children — kids whose parents work in the cities to make a better living. After class, we chatted a lot, and they wondered about everything, using “outside world” as a term to describe the wider globe for many times. Taking care of rural children is essential. The school offers boarding services and free breakfast and lunch to the students, who can also video chat with their parents daily. To better care for the village children, the school provides outdoor hiking, technology, art, and foreign language programs to help them understand the outside world. After all, high-quality education to disadvantaged village children is the key to poverty-alleviation (扶贫) efforts. During my trip in Xihaigu, I also visited Ningxia Normal University, where over 70% of its students major in education. In 2013, local and central governments launched public-funded programs to recruit students interested in becoming teachers in Ningxia’s rural villages and districts. By 2023, 3,500 students were enrolled in the program, many of whom came from disadvantaged village households in Xihaigu. I had the opportunity to speak with Yang, a public-funded student from the once-poor Xihaigu region. After finishing school, he planned to stay in the Xihaigu area as a teacher to teach the kids knowledge. Yang told me that knowledge is the key to leading a better life as well as understanding the world. A lack of knowledge is one of the main factors of being poor. Money could help the poor for a while but not once for all. He hopes that by sharing knowledge with the kids in his hometown, he can help them broaden their horizons and develop an objective perspective on the world. He envisions a future where these children can use their knowledge to make a better life, stop people’s stereotypes (固有印象) about China and share Xihaigu’s stories with the rest of the world. 1．Why did the kids repeatedly mention “outside world”? A．Out of curiosity about the unknown world. B．With the hope of changing the world outside. C．To show their experiences about the wider globe. D．For lack of confidence towards their inner world. 2．What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A．The key to poverty-alleviation efforts. B．The aid to the kids on life and education. C．The teaching conditions of the school. D．The high-quality education of the school. 3．What can we infer from the author’s trip in Ningxia Normal University? A．Students in this university can be free of charge. B．The authorities support Ningxia’s rural areas by stressing education. C．The public-funded programs target at the students from poor regions. D．Money is less important than knowledge for the people in Xihaigu’s villages. 4．Which of the following may agree with Yang’s opinion? A．Learn and live. B．Sharp tools make good work. C．Hang on to your dreams. D．Poverty-alleviation starts with education. 【答案】1．A 2．B 3．B 4．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。作者到宁夏回族自治区西海固袁河中学给当地农村孩子上一节英语课，学校的大多数孩子都是贫困家庭的留守儿童，学校在照顾农村孩子方面做出了许多努力。作者还参观了宁夏师范学院，作者在这里感受到了政府对宁夏农村地区教育的支持。在和一位公费学生聊天的过程中，这位学生告诉了作者他毕业后想要给家乡的贫困孩子传播知识。作者感受到了乡村教育对扶贫的重要性。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段中的“After class, we chatted a lot, and they wondered about everything, using ‘outside world’ as a term to describe the wider globe for many times.(下课后，我们聊了很多，他们对一切都很好奇，多次用‘外面的世界’这个词来形容更广阔的世界。)”可知，孩子们对未知的世界非常好奇，所以多次提到“外面的世界”。故选A。 2．主旨大意题。根据第三段“Taking care of rural children is essential. The school offers boarding services and free breakfast and lunch to the students, who can also video chat with their parents daily. To better care for the village children, the school provides outdoor hiking, technology, art, and foreign language programs to help them understand the outside world. After all, high-quality education to disadvantaged village children is the key to poverty-alleviation(扶贫) efforts.(照顾农村儿童至关重要。学校为学生提供寄宿服务和免费早餐与午餐，学生还可以每天与家长视频聊天。为了更好地照顾村里的孩子，学校提供户外徒步旅行、技术、艺术和外语课程，帮助他们了解外面的世界。毕竟，为贫困农村儿童提供高质量的教育是扶贫工作的关键。)”可知，第三段主要介绍了学校对农村贫困儿童在生活和教育上的帮助。故选B。 3．推理判断题。根据第五段中的“In 2013, local and central governments launched public-funded programs to recruit students interested in becoming teachers in Ningxia’s rural villages and districts.(2013年，地方和中央政府启动了公共资助项目，招收有兴趣在宁夏农村地区当教师的学生。)”可推测出，当局通过重视教育来支持宁夏农村地区。故选B。 4．推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Yang told me that knowledge is the key to leading a better life as well as understanding the world. A lack of knowledge is one of the main factors of being poor.(杨告诉我，知识是过上更好生活的关键，也是了解世界的关键。缺乏知识是贫穷的主要因素之一。)”可推测出，杨认为扶贫始于教育。故选D。 Passage 2 (23-24高三上·广东·期末) “It’s like riding a bike” is a common comment when you want to remind someone that it’s hard to forget a basic skill. But what if you don’t know how to ride a bike? This was something Annette Kruger, an avid (热衷的) cyclist, saw that was true for many women in Berlin, including refugees, who’d moved to there. Whether they weren’t allowed or didn’t have the opportunity to learn, these women had never experienced the health benefits and independence that cycling offers. That is why, seven years ago, Kruger started Bikeygees, a non-profit organization focused on teaching women to ride a bike. The group members gather for two hours for training sessions every week. Advanced riders can borrow bikes and helmets for free to practise on their own. The group also teaches women how to fix bikes, instilling (逐步培养) a sense of self-sufficiency, says Kruger. If they can do bike repairs, ride and learn the German rules of the road, they are awarded with a bike kit, including a bike, a helmet, a bike lock and bike tools. More than 500 bikes have been donated so far, and Kruger says the goal is to eventually provide all participants with their own bikes. To date, the group has taught more than 1,400 women and has met in more than 20 locations within Germany, including in emergency shelters. Participants have said that riding a bike allows them not only freedom of movement — some of the women use them to bring their children to school — but also hope for the future. Kruger says that she can see the impact that concentrating on a new skill has on the women. “We can’t replace what someone lost in their life, but we can offer something new. The success is measured in the smiles of the riders when they conquer another bike skill.” She recalls one student in her 60s who continued to practice through a bitter winter. She said, “This is a dream for me. I have been waiting my whole life to do this.” 1．What did the women in Berlin obtain from Bikeygees? A．Opportunities to learn German. B．Chances to move away from Berlin. C．Attention to their living conditions. D．Fitness and freedom to get around. 2．What do we learn about the Bikeygees project? A．It becomes increasingly popular. B．It has made large profits. C．It offers more bikes than needed. D．It allows beginners to practise individually. 3．Which is a benefit for the participants from the last paragraph? A．A fund for women. B．The capacity to earn money. C．The freedom of their children. D．A prospect of future life. 4．Which of the following best describes Annette Kruger? A．Caring. B．Innocent. C．Humorous. D．Honest. 【答案】1．D 2．A 3．D 4．A 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了自行车爱好者Annette Kruger成立非营利性组织Bikeygees，让柏林的女性体验骑自行车带来的健康益处和独立性。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段中“Whether they weren’t allowed or didn’t have the opportunity to learn, these women had never experienced the health benefits and independence that cycling offers.(无论是不被允许还是没有机会学习，这些女性都从未体验过骑自行车带来的健康益处和独立性)”和第三段中“That is why, seven years ago, Kruger started Bikeygees, a non-profit organization focused on teaching women to ride a bike.(这就是为什么Kruger在七年前创办了一个非营利组织Bikeygees，专注于教女性骑自行车)”以及最后一段中“Participants have said that riding a bike allows them not only freedom of movement(参与者说，骑自行车不仅让他们行动自由)”可知，柏林的女性能从Bikeygees获得健康益处和行动自由的机会，故选D。 2．推理判断题。根据第四段中“More than 500 bikes have been donated so far, and Kruger says the goal is to eventually provide all participants with their own bikes. To date, the group has taught more than 1,400 women and has met in more than 20 locations within Germany, including in emergency shelters.(到目前为止，已经捐赠了500多辆自行车，Kruger说，他们的目标是最终为所有参与者提供自己的自行车。迄今为止，该小组已经教了1400多名妇女，并在德国20多个地点举行了会议，包括在紧急避难所)”可推知，Bikeygees组织变得越来越受欢迎，故选A。 3．细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Participants have said that riding a bike allows them not only freedom of movement — some of the women use them to bring their children to school — but also hope for the future.(参与者说，骑自行车不仅让他们行动自由——一些妇女骑着自行车送孩子上学——而且让他们对未来充满希望)”可知，Bikeygees组织带给参与者的一个好处是让她们对未来充满希望，故选D。 4．推理判断题。根据全文内容，结合第三段中“That is why, seven years ago, Kruger started Bikeygees, a non-profit organization focused on teaching women to ride a bike.(这就是为什么Kruger在七年前创办了一个非营利组织Bikeygees，专注于教女性骑自行车)”和第四段中“The group also teaches women how to fix bikes, instilling (逐步培养) a sense of self-sufficiency, says Kruger.(Kruger说，该组织还教女性如何修理自行车，灌输一种自给自足的意识)”可知，Kruger创办非营利组织Bikeygees，教女性骑自行车和如何修理自行车，让柏林的女性体验骑自行车带来的健康益处和独立性。由此推知，她是一个很关心他人的人。故选A。 Passage 3 (24-25高三·广东清远清新区四校·期末) In 2009, Kevin Pearce was at the height of his professional snowboarding career and bound for the Winter Olympics.

But in college when I gave a presentation about those bees, I didn’t mention their familiar name; instead I used formal terms when describing their adaptations for pollinating (授粉). I was afraid of being judged for expressing my personal knowledge in a science class. But when the instructor pressed me to tell the class whether I’d seen the bees myself and what I called them, my views and my whole career path began to change. I realized my background was valuable, and that my calling was to help educate others like me. My parents worked on a small farm and I often helped out when I was not in school. They had a close relationship with nature, something they learned from my grandparents and passed down to me. This was why I became interested in biology. In college, I joined a series of labs to gain research experience, but my interest in pursuing a career as a scientist began to wane after I realized my research was not helping poor people like my parents. As a black student from a rural community, I also felt out of place in most classes. The feeling of not belonging circled in my head. I sometimes thought about giving up. My instructor’s request that I share my knowledge of the mangangava bee changed my view. She saw that tapping into my personal experiences would help me grasp the scientific concepts. No other professor bad shown that kind of sensitivity, which helped me realize I did have a place in higher education and that I didn’t need to hide who I truly am. I’m now a master’s student in education, working on a project that explores the connect ion between science and traditional knowledge. I don’t think I’d be here if I hadn’t crossed paths with my instructor. We ne ed more educators and scientists like her people who can serve as role models and know that the best way to nurture new scientists is to allow students to be themselves. 1．What did the author initially think of his background when in college? A．It was of little use for his college studies. B．It motivated him to carry on his research. C．It gave him an advantage over others. D．It was something he wanted to hide. 2．What does the underlined word “wane” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A．remain B．advance C．fade D．rise 3．What should a good educator do according to the author? A．Value students’ personal knowledge and views. B．Inspire students to work as hard as he or she does. C．Treat students from different backgrounds equally. D．Be equipped with rich knowledge of a certain field. 4．What is the main idea of this passage? A．The family is one of the nature’s masterpieces. B．Every man is the architect of his own fortune. C．A good teacher is better than ten thousand books. D．Good habits formed at youth make all the difference. 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．A 4．C 【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章通过作者从小生活在农场，对一种名叫mangangava蜜蜂很熟悉，在大学做有关与这种蜜蜂的报告时，被导师鼓励用自己的经验来介绍这种蜜蜂而不是书上的内容，导师的鼓励打开了作者科学研究的道路。文章向我们说明了一个道理：一位好老师，胜过万卷书。 1．推理判断题。根据第一段内容“But in college when I gave a presentation about those bees, I didn’t mention their familiar name; instead I used formal terms when describing their adaptations for pollinating(授粉). I was afraid of being judged for expressing my personal knowledge in a science class. (但在大学里，当我做关于这些蜜蜂的演讲时，我没有提到它们熟悉的名字；相反，我在描述它们对授粉的适应时使用了正式的术语。我害怕因为在科学课上表达了我的个人知识而受到评判)”，“ I realized my background was valuable, and that my calling was to help educate others like me.(我意识到我的背景很有价值，我的使命是帮助教育像我这样的人)”和第四段“No other professor bad shown that kind of sensitivity, which helped me realize I did have a place in higher education and that I didn’t need to hide who I truly am.(没有其他坏教授表现出这种敏感性，这让我意识到我在高等教育中确实有一席之地，我不需要隐瞒自己的真实身份)”可知，作者在科学课上作报告时没有用他熟悉的名字，用专业的术语来介绍这种蜜蜂，因为他害怕因为表达个人知识被人评论，后来那次事情之后他意识到他的背景知识是有价值的，作者意识到不必隐藏真正的自己。由此可推知，在大学里作者起初想隐藏自己的背景。故选D。 2．词句猜测题。根据划线所在的句子“after I realized my research was not helping poor people like my parents(在我意识到我的研究并没有帮助像我父母这样的穷人之后)”以及“The feeling of not belonging circled in my head. I sometimes thought about giving up.(不归属感在我的脑海中盘旋。我有时想过放弃)”可知，当作者意识到自己的研究并没有帮助像父母这样的穷人时，作者对从事科学家职业的兴趣开始减弱。由此推知，划线词wane意为“减退，减弱”。故选C 3．推理判断题。根据最后一段“We ne ed more educators and scientists like her people who can serve as role models and know that the best way to nurture new scientists is to allow students to be themselves.(我们需要更多像她这样的教育工作者和科学家，他们可以成为榜样，知道培养新科学家的最好方法是让学生做自己)”可知，作者认为优秀的教育者应该要为学生树立榜样，让学生做自己。由此可推知，作者认为一个好的教育者应该尊重和挖掘学生自己已有的知识、经历和看法，像他在故事中提到的导师那样。故选A。 4．主旨大意题。根据最后一段“I don’t think I’d be here if I hadn’t crossed paths with my instructor. We ne ed more educators and scientists like her people who can serve as role models and know that the best way to nurture new scientists is to allow students to be themselves.(如果我没有和我的教练相遇，我想我不会在这里。我们需要更多像她这样的教育工作者和科学家，他们可以成为榜样，知道培养新科学家的最好方法是让学生做自己)”及全文可知，文章通过作者从小生活在农场，对一种名叫mangangava蜜蜂很熟悉，在大学做有关与这种蜜蜂的报告时，被导师鼓励用自己的经验来介绍这种蜜蜂而不是书上的内容，导师的鼓励打开了作者科学研究的道路。文章向我们说明了一个道理：一位好老师，胜过万卷书。故选C。 主题04 人与社会——文学、艺术与体育 (24-25高三上·广东汕头·期末) In Sichuan Province, long-time resident French artist Vincent Cazeneuve, is integrating traditional Chinese lacquerware (漆器) skills with techniques taken from Western modern art into his creations. Born in Toulouse, Vincent has been living in southwest China for more than a decade. With the influence of French artists Jean Dunand and Gaston Suisse, his journey to unravel the secrets of Chinese lacquerware and his fascination for lacquer art started. “I studied their artworks and often wondered why they used Chinese lacquer. In those days, lacquer could not be found in France.” said the artist. Native to Asia, lacquer trees are planted and tapped for their liquid. It is almost impossible to find lacquer trees in Europe. So, instead of continually transporting lacquer back to France, Vincent chose to send himself to China. Having explored his connections with lacquer over the years, the artist also learned a range of techniques, which he integrated into his own artworks. To dive deep into the art of lacquerware, Vincent traveled to Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture (自治州) in Sichuan Province, where lacquer craftsmanship is famous. In fact, he actually met two lacquerware craftsmen, who taught him almost everything they knew. “I used to know about lacquerware of Yi just by looking at it. But I had never seen the Yi people before. I have never heard their language. I’ve never seen their villages. It’s only when I came here that I felt the power of their culture.” said Vincent. This field trip gave the artist new inspiration for his exhibition. After seeing Vincent’s exhibition, Liu Guanzhong, a professor at the School of Fine Arts of Tsinghua University said, “What he presents is China in his eyes. Vincent has explored a path: the ideas of a modern artist, but rooting the ancient skills in modern life. He finds new soil for an old seed to bloom into a new flower.” 1．What is Vincent devoted to according to the text? A．Creating western modern art. B．Combining Chinese and Western art. C．Making Chinese lacquerware. D．Introducing Chinese lacquerware to France. 2．What does the underlined word “unravel” mean in paragraph 2? A．Discover. B．Hide C．Keep D．Handle. 3．Why did Vincent travel to Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture? A．To become a famous craftsman. B．To explore the history of Yi people. C．To make friends with the craftsmen. D．To understand more about lacquer techniques. 4．What would Liu Guanzhong agree with about the exhibition? A．It was idealized. B．It featured modern art. C．It was innovative. D．It explored the root of art. 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．D 4．C 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了一位出生于图卢兹的艺术家文森特，他一直在探索中国漆器的秘密，并把中国漆器艺术融入到自己的作品中。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段“In Sichuan Province, long-time resident French artist Vincent Cazeneuve, is integrating traditional Chinese lacquerware (漆器) skills with techniques taken from Western modern art into his creations.

It seemed like a typical bar — until one of the guys planted a little flag on the table: a symbol for their group. Back home in D．C． , I found myself thinking recently of Stammtisch. I mentioned it to a German friend, Amrai, as we walked around the zoo with our kids, admiring the goats and alpacas. Amra i laughed and said, “You know there’s a Stammtisch in D．C．? It’s mostly Germans.” I decided to attend it one cold December evening at a restaurant, where I was greeted by a warm atmosphere and lively conversations. The gathering’s organizer, Andrea Shalal, described the classic Stammtisch, “A Stammtisch means regulars’ table. It’s an age-old German tradition where a group of like-minded people — traditionally men — meet up at a restaurant at a regular time to have drinks and chat. In every German village, there is the corner bar, and in the corner is a table. It’s reserved for the sort of elders or other regulars.” “Growing up in the 1980s, 1990s, early 2000s, the idea of Stammtisch in Germany’s youth was sort of rejected as ‘This is something that our parents’ generation, our grandparents’ generation, would do’,” said Robert Christoffel,45. But he’s noticed that’s starting to change. ‘A lot of my friends, nowadays, in Germany — maybe because they have gotten a little older as well — they are now meeting up and sort of establishing Stammtisch,” he told me. In modern life, as fewer people go to church, these gatherings can take on even more significance. Werner Hein, who’s 80 years old, described the Stammtisch this way, “That’s a place where you meet in person. You open up on things, on your very personal things,” Hein said. “Nowadays, I have to almost say it’s more important than ever to have a kind of Stammtisch.” 1．Why did one of the guys plant the little flag? A．To mark the group. B．To follow the tradition. C．To make it decorative. D．To draw others’ attention. 2．What did the author learn about the Stammtisch from Andrea Shalal? A．Its root. B．Its concept. C．Its expansion. D．Its reform. 3．How do young Germans view the Stammtisch now? A．They consider it a fashion. B．They gradually take to it. C．They advocate for it firmly. D．They stay unconcerned about it. 4．Which might Werner Hein agree with regarding the Stammtisch? A．It lacks authenticity. B．It demands formality. C．It’s as vital as the church. D．It aids deep communication. 【答案】1．A 2．B 3．B 4．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章围绕德国传统的 Stammtisch(常客聚会)展开。先是作者在柏林见识其存在，后在华盛顿特区参与相关聚会。介绍了它作为定期社交聚会的传统形式，提及年轻人对它的态度转变，还阐述了长者眼中其利于深入交流的意义，展现了这一传统随时代变迁的社交价值。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段“It seemed like a typical bar — until one of the guys planted a little flag on the table: a symbol for their group(这看起来就像一个典型的酒吧——直到其中一个人在桌子上插了一面小旗子：他们团体的象征)”可知，插小旗是作为他们群体的一个标志，也就是用来标记这个群体的。故选A。 2．推理判断题。根据第二段“A Stammtisch means regulars’ table.

But he’s noticed that’s starting to change. ‘A lot of my friends, nowadays, in Germany — maybe because they have gotten a little older as well — they are now meeting up and sort of establishing Stammtisch,” he told me.(“在 20 世纪 80 年代、90 年代和 2000 年代初期成长的德国年轻人中，斯塔姆蒂施的想法在某种程度上被拒绝了，因为‘这是我们父母那一代、我们祖父母那一代会做的事情’，”45 岁的罗伯特·克里斯托费尔 (Robert Christoffel) 说。但他注意到这种情况开始发生变化。 “我的很多朋友，现在在德国——也许是因为他们也年纪大了一些——他们现在聚在一起，建立了 Stammtisch，”他告诉我。)”谈到：以前德国年轻人排斥它,但现在情况改变了, 即他们现在逐渐开始接受、喜欢它了。故选B。 4．推理判断题。根据最后一段“That’s a place where you meet in person. You open up on things, on your very personal things(那是你们见面的地方。你对事情、对你非常个人的事情敞开心扉，)”可推知, Werner Hein认为 Stammtisch 是人们可以敞开心扉交流个人事情的地方，也就是有助于深入交流。故选D。 主题06 人与社会——科学与技术 (23-24高三上·广东深圳罗湖区·期末) Dr. Elsa Olivetti has always been interested in how materials science can change the way we store energy. When she started her work at MIT, she was excited about discovering the secrets of sustainable battery production. During her research, her main focus was on a special kind of battery, called solid-state batteries, and a material named LLZO. She discovered a big challenge: finding and getting a special material called tantalum, which is not easy to find but necessary for the production of LLZO. This inspired her to look at the whole process of making batteries beyond the laboratory, from getting the materials to producing the final product. Dr. Olivetti and her team looked into how these materials are mined, processed, and turned into batteries. They found that if we want to use more electric cars in the future, we need to get much better at producing and delivering materials like tantalum. Then, Dr. Olivetti aims to figure out a creative solution to the challenge. She worked with industry leaders to develop sustainable mining practices and called on policy changes to support a better supply chain, which proves effective. Dr. Olivetti stresses that her work is not meant to replace traditional methods. Instead, it’s meant to help make the battery production better by looking broadly at the things that could make energy storage efficient. Looking ahead, Dr. Olivetti remains committed to improving sustainable energy storage. She wants to make the production process less wasteful and more cost-effective, creating a future where energy storage is not only good but also kind to our planet. Reflecting on her work, Dr. Olivetti often says that what she does is more than just science. “Each step we take towards more efficient and environmentally-friendly battery technology is a step towards a better world,” stressing the importance of curiosity and perseverance in the pursuit of scientific exploration. 1．What was Dr. Olivetti’s interest in her work at MIT?
