He still remembers he usually ran and played hide-and-seek with his friends on this impressive structure when he was a child. However, when he returned to the village after working outside for years, he was surprised by the damage to the ancient wall. “Some villagers even took bricks from it to build their houses,” Mei said. To help protect the wonder, Mei volunteered to walk along the wall each day to check its condition, encouraging other villagers to join him. “Of course, it might be dangerous to hike in the mountains by myself, so I always tap the grassy ground along the way with a wooden stick, scaring wild animals away,” Mei said. In 2006, as head of the village, Mei helped set up a local volunteer protection group. Realizing the importance of heritage protection, more and more villagers returned the bricks they had taken, and about 80 of them joined as volunteers. To ensure that the volunteers could carry out their duties effectively, Mei arranged for training programs on basic protection and safety measures. Together, they conducted daily check-ups to track the condition of the Great Wall and reported any damages. Encouraged by her father, Mei’s daughter, followed him and officially became a Great Wall protector in 2019. “When I was a child, my father always told me his stories and talked about the history of the Great Wall,” Mei’s daughter said. “It is also my responsibility to protect the cultural heritage.” The past ten years have seen Mei’s preservation efforts to the Great Wall. “It is my biggest wish to see heritage well-preserved and open to visits, encouraging more people to join us in protecting the Great Wall,” Mei says. 4．What did Mei often do when he was a child?

It vastly improved my life. I felt empty and frustrated at how much time I spent on my smartphone. So I spent the last five years steadily stripping my phone down to the basics. Social media was the first to go, then email, then news apps, and then even internet browsers. I long considered switching to a flip phone, but I always found an excuse to stay. Ultimately it was two of my students, 15- and 18-year-old sisters, who pushed me over the edge. Word spread around school that they had bought flip phones. If they were brave enough to take the plunge, I could, too. I spent $9 on a flip phone, plus $120 for a year of unlimited talk and text on a new number. For the last five months, I haven’t carried a smartphone with me, just my flip phone. This is the charming, romantic side of owning a flip phone: more conversations, more eye contact, more connection. The separation between work and life is much more noticeable. I don’t overthink work emails all day, since I no longer carry my work email in my pocket. I am living more like my creative, curious, phone-free children. This all sounds wonderful because it is wonderful. And now it’s confession time: I still have my smartphone. As it turns out, our addiction to smartphones is not just on an individual level. Intentionally or not, we have built structures that depend upon smartphone access, making it an essential feature of modern life. While most of the flip phone inconveniences are charming, some of them are so frustrating that they make you want to pull your hair out. Despite that, I will continue to use a flip phone as my primary phone so I don’t have to carry a smartphone with me. And I will continue to evangelize for it. I hope many others get flip phones. We will all be better for it. If nothing else, it’ll be nice to have more people to talk to in the grocery line. 12．What ultimately caused the author to switch to a flip phone? A．Disturbance of social media. B．Inspiration from his students. C．Time overspent on his smartphone. D．Negative feelings to smartphones. 13．What happened after the author used a flip phone? A．More interactions with people. B．Less work assignments. C．More time with his children. D．Low work effeciency. 14．What can be inferred about the author? A．Belief that flip phones are completely without inconveniences. B．Thought that smartphone addiction is solely an individual problem. C．Complete abandonment of smartphones for flip phones. D．Belief in widespread integration and importance of smartphones in modern society. 15．What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage? A．To recommend using a flip phone. B．To advocate living without a smartphone. C．To share his story of switching to a flip phone. D．To stress the disadvantages of having a smartphone. 【答案】12．B 13．A 14．D 15．A 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者从智能手机切换到翻盖手机的经历，描述了这一改变带来的生活质量提升，如更多的社交互动和更清晰的工作与生活界限，同时也坦诚了现代社会对智能手机的依赖。 12．细节理解题。根据第二段中“I long considered switching to a flip phone, but I always found an excuse to stay. Ultimately it was two of my students, 15- and 18-year-old sisters, who pushed me over the edge. Word spread around school that they had bought flip phones. If they were brave enough to take the plunge, I could, too. (我一直在考虑换一部翻盖手机，但我总能找到留下的理由。最终是我的两个学生，15岁和18岁的姐妹，把我推到了悬崖边上。她们买翻盖手机的消息在学校里传开了。如果她们有足够的勇气冒险，我也可以。)”可知，从学生那里得到的鼓舞最终促使作者改用了翻盖手机。故选B项。 13．细节理解题。根据第三段中“This is the charming, romantic side of owning a flip phone: more conversations, more eye contact, more connection. (这是拥有翻盖手机迷人、浪漫的一面：更多的对话、更多的目光接触、更多的联系。)”可知，在作者使用翻盖手机后，与人们的互动增多了。故选A项。 14．推理判断题。根据第四段中“As it turns out, our addiction to smartphones is not just on an individual level. Intentionally or not, we have built structures that depend upon smartphone access, making it an essential feature of modern life. (事实证明，我们对智能手机的沉迷不仅仅是个人的问题。无论有意无意，我们已经建立了依赖智能手机接入的结构，使其成为现代生活的一个基本特征。)”可知，作者指出使用智能手机并不仅仅是个人的选择，现代社会的结构也依赖智能手机。由此可知，作者认为智能手机与现代社会广泛融合，发挥重要作用。故选D项。 15．推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是最后一段中“And I will continue to evangelize for it. I hope many others get flip phones. We will all be better for it. (我将继续宣传它。我希望更多的人买翻盖手机。我们都会因此变得更好。)”可知，作者详细讲述了自己从智能手机切换到翻盖手机的经历，包括动机、体验和感受，着重突出了这一改变带来的生活质量提升。由此可知，作者的写作目的应该是推荐使用翻盖手机。故选A项。 Passage 4 （24-25高一上·云南昆明·期末） AI kitchens, once a concept of science fiction, are now a reality across the globe. These advanced kitchens use robots to perform a variety of tasks such as flipping hamburgers, frying chicken, creating pizzas, preparing salads, and baking bread. The mixture of artificial intelligence in these kitchens allows for the invention of recipes based on the molecular compatibility (分子兼容性) of ingredients. The benefits of AI-driven kitchens extend beyond mere convenience. AI kitchens enable chefs to be more creative, as well as removing repetitive, boring tasks such as washing the dishes or standing for hours. Not having to cook means being able to spend more time with family or focus on more urgent tasks. For personalized eating, AI can provide countless special diets on demand. However, there are also risks to human well-being. Cooking can be relaxing and provides opportunities for many things: gratitude, communication, adventure, independence, confidence and more, all of which may be lost if no one needs to cook. Family relationships could be affected if parents and children are no longer working together in the kitchen — a suitable space to chat, in contrast to what can feel like an interrogation (盘问) at the dining table. Moreover, the food service industry faces challenges as many workers may struggle to acquire new skills for different jobs, despite the hope that technology will create more jobs than it eliminates (消除). In conclusion, the rise of AI kitchens shows both opportunities and challenges. While they increase the efficiency and creativity in the culinary world (烹饪界), they also raise questions about society and family. The balance between developing technological advancements and preserving the human elements of cooking can’t be ignored. 12．How do AI kitchens enhance the creativity of chefs? A．By providing more ingredients. B．By inventing special recipes. C．By reducing cooking time. D．By offering cooking classes. 13．What is a negative impact of AI kitchens on family relationships? A．Increased cooking time. B．More time spent together. C．Loss of cooking as an interactive activity. D．Improved communication. 14．What is a challenge faced by the food service industry? A．Increased job opportunities. B．More diverse menu options. C．Lower food prices. D．Workers’ struggling to acquire new skills. 15．What is the author’s attitude toward AI kitchens? A．Doubtful. B．Positive. C．Indifferent. D．Objective. 【答案】12．B 13．C 14．D 15．D 【导语】这是一篇议论文。本文探讨了人工智能厨房的兴起，分析了其带来的便利与创意提升，同时也指出了其对人类福祉、家庭关系以及食品服务行业可能产生的负面影响，并强调了平衡技术进步与保留烹饪人文元素的重要性。 12．细节理解题。根据第一段“The mixture of artificial intelligence in these kitchens allows for the invention of recipes based on the molecular compatibility (分子兼容性) of ingredients.(这些厨房中的人工智能混合技术使得根据食材的分子兼容性来发明食谱成为可能。)”和第二段“AI kitchens enable chefs to be more creative.(人工智能厨房让厨师更有创造力。)”可知，人工智能厨房通过发明特殊的食谱来提高厨师的创造力。故选B。 13．细节理解题。根据第三段“Family relationships could be affected if parents and children are no longer working together in the kitchen — a suitable space to chat, in contrast to what can feel like an interrogation (盘问) at the dining table.(如果父母和孩子不再一起在厨房工作，家庭关系可能会受到影响——厨房是一个适合聊天的空间，与餐桌上可能感觉像是在盘问的情况形成对比。)”可知，人工智能厨房对家庭关系的负面影响是失去了烹饪作为互动活动的乐趣。故选C。 14．细节理解题。根据第三段“Moreover, the food service industry faces challenges as many workers may struggle to acquire new skills for different jobs, despite the hope that technology will create more jobs than it eliminates (消除).(此外，食品服务行业也面临着挑战，因为尽管人们希望技术能创造比消除更多的就业机会，但许多工人可能仍难以获得不同工作所需的新技能。)”可知，食品服务行业面临的挑战是工人难以获得新技能。故选D。 15．推理判断题。根据最后一段“In conclusion, the rise of AI kitchens shows both opportunities and challenges. While they increases the efficiency and creativity in the culinary world (烹饪界), they also raise questions about society and family. The balance between developing technological advancements and preserving the human elements of cooking can’t be ignored.(总之，人工智能厨房的兴起既带来了机遇，也带来了挑战。虽然它们提高了烹饪界的效率和创造力，但也引发了关于社会和家庭的问题。发展技术进步与保留烹饪人文元素之间的平衡不容忽视。)”可知，作者对人工智能厨房的态度是客观的，既看到了其好处，也看到了其可能带来的问题。故选D。 主题02 人与自然 Passage 1 （24-25高一上·广东茂名五中·期末） Isatou Ceesay was born in 1972 in a small village in Gambia Africa. As a teenager, Ceesay was forced to drop out of school because of poverty. She carried some goods with many girls like her to sell in the market to raise herself. At that time, the plastic bags, being strong and light, became popular in Gambia. The problem was that people did not reuse the bags and simply threw them behind their homes. Over time, the houses were surrounded by trash. Ceesay lived in such an environment for many years. She kept learning from the surrounding environment and planned to take action to change. In 1997, she started a recycling movement called One Plastic Bag in Gambia. She educated women in Gambia to recycle plastic waste into income for themselves. In the beginning, the movement had a mission to educate their village colleagues about the need to reuse garbage and recycle plastic waste, rather than letting the garbage increase behind their homes. Over time, the movement became big and able to support and provide income for women around. It was also able to greatly reduce plastic waste in Gambia. But the work of collecting trash turned to be taxing. During the rainy season, plastic waste became wet and difficult to take, and after that it still took patience to dry it before it could be processed. Ceesay said, “As a habit, people are used to pouring their garbage behind their houses, and because it is not visible, they forget it. But the bad effects again knock on your door very quickly-dirty air, various diseases and so on. Of course, if one man’s house is clean but his neighbor’s is not, then the man is also not healthy.” For 17 years, Ceesay has contributed to one of the most important problems about the plastic waste. In 2012, she got the TIAW Difference Maker Award in Washington, D．C．, United States. Her story was written into a book, which inspires many others to join or become makers of change in their own communities. 4．What can be learned about young Ceesay from Paragraph 1? A．She gave up the chance of going to school. B．She had many friends good at doing business. C．She sold strong and light plastic bags to support herself D．She lived in an environment heavily polluted by plastic waste. 5．What can we infer about Ceesay’s recycling movement? A．It aimed to make full use of natural resources to get rich. B．It was hard to carry on because of the shortage of workers. C．It benefited both people’s economic situation and the environment. D．It taught the villagers to replace plastic bags with handmade ones. 6．What does the underlined word “taxing” in Paragraph 3 mean? A．Challenging. B．Pleasant. C．Dangerous. D．Successful. 7．What does Ceesay mainly intend to say in Paragraph 4? A．Bad habits are hard to remove once formed. B．Garbage problems contribute greatly to climate change. C．Valuing the relationship between neighbors is important. D．Dealing with plastic waste is a shared responsibility in communities. 【答案】4．D 5．C 6．A 7．D 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述Isatou Ceesay受到自己生活环境的启发，组织One Plastic Bag活动，号召社区居民处理并回收利用塑料口袋，这既能帮助当地人增加收入同时对环境也有益。 4．细节理解题。根据第一段的“At that time, the plastic bags, being strong and light, became popular in Gambia. The problem was that people did not reuse the bags and simply threw them behind their homes. Over time, the houses were surrounded by trash.(当时，塑料袋结实轻便，在冈比亚流行起来。问题是人们没有重复使用塑料袋，而是直接把它们扔到房子后面。久而久之，房子被垃圾包围了)”可知， Ceesay年轻时生活在一个被废弃塑料袋严重污染的环境。故选D。 5．推理判断题。根据第三段的“Over time, the movement became big and able to support and provide income for women around. It was also able to greatly reduce plastic waste in Gambia. (随着时间的推移，这场运动变得越来越大，能够支持并为周围的女性提供收入。它还能够大大减少冈比亚的塑料垃圾)”推知，Ceesay回收运动既能帮助当地人增加收入同时对环境也有益。故选C。 6．词句猜测题。根据划线词下文“During the rainy season, plastic waste became wet and difficult to take, and after that it still took patience to dry it before it could be processed.(在雨季，塑料垃圾变得潮湿，难以拿起，在那之后，它仍然需要耐心晾干才能进行处理)”可知，收集垃圾的工作变得困难了。由此猜测划线词意为“困难的”，与challenging意思相近。故选A。 7．推理判断题。根据第四段的“Of course, if one man’s house is clean but his neighbor’s is not, then the man is also not healthy.(当然，如果一个人的房子干净，而他的邻居的房子不干净，那么这个人也不健康)”推知，Ceesay认为处理塑料垃圾是社区居民共同的责任。故选D。 Passage 2 （24-25高一上·湖北荆州中学·期末） Colin and Donna Craig-Brown were working in their New Zealand garden in late August. They were removing unwanted plants when they found something strange. After a little digging, Colin discovered there was a very large potato growing in his garden. And they never planted potatoes! “We couldn’t believe it, ” Donna said. “It was just huge.” The couple worked the potato out of the soil and brought it to a scale. It weighed almost 8 kilograms. The potato may be the largest ever recorded. In 2011, a large potato from Great Britain weighed just under 5 kilograms. The New Zealand potato, now named Doug, could break the record. The Craig-Browns asked Guinness (吉尼斯) to recognize their potato as the largest ever. They are waiting to hear from the organization. The potato has become famous in the town of Hamilton, Colin took Doug on walks round the neighborhood, “We put a hat on him. We put him on Facebook, taking him for a walk, giving him some sunshine,” Colin said. “It’s all a bit of fun.” Colin said he does not have any special gardening methods to pass on. Normally, he and his wife fertilize (施肥) their garden with waste from cows and dried grasses. The Craig-Browns were growing cucumbers (黄瓜) in that part of the garden, so they didn’t expect there was a potato. It may have been growing for two years or more. The potato is getting a little old now, two months after it was taken from the ground. Right now, it is in the freezer. 4．How did the couple feel when they found the potato? A．Satisfied. B．Surprised. C．Thankful. D．Hopeful. 5．What does “a scale” underlined in paragraph 2 refer to? A．A tool. B．A plant. C．An animal. D．A person. 6．Why has the potato become famous? A．Because it won’t go bad easily. B．Because it is an unexpected visitor. C．Because it may be two years old at least. D．Because it may break the Guinness record. 7．What could be the best title for the text? A．Two skilful gardeners. B．A potato on Facebook. C．The possible largest potato. D．A special gardening method. 【答案】4．B 5．A 6．D 7．C 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了新西兰的克雷格·布朗夫妻在自家的花园里发现一个大土豆，重量几乎有8公斤，他们将为它申请吉尼斯世界记录的故事。 4．推理判断题。根据第二段““We couldn’t believe it, ” Donna said.”（“我们简直不敢相信，”唐娜说）可知，当这对夫妻发现土豆时他们感到惊讶。故选B项。 5．词义猜测题。根据第二段划线单词后的“It weighed almost 8 kilograms.”（它重达近8公斤）可知，克雷格·布朗夫妻在称重土豆后发现它有8公斤，推断出划线部分的“a scale”是一种用来称重的工具。故选A项。 6．细节理解题。根据第三段“The New Zealand potato, now named Doug, could break the record. The Craig-Browns asked Guinness (吉尼斯) to recognize their potato as the largest ever.”（现在被命名为Doug的新西兰土豆可能会打破纪录。克雷格·布朗夫妇要求吉尼斯承认他们的土豆是有史以来最大的）可知，这个土豆出名的原因是因为它有可能打破吉尼斯记录。故选D项。 7．主旨大意题。根据第三段“The New Zealand potato, now named Doug, could break the record. The Craig-Browns asked Guinness(吉尼斯) to recognize their potato as the largest ever.”（现在被命名为Doug的新西兰土豆可能会打破纪录。克雷格·布朗夫妇要求吉尼斯承认他们的土豆是有史以来最大的）可知，本文围绕着新西兰的克雷格·布朗夫妻在自家的花园里发现一个重量几乎有8公斤的大土豆，讲述了他们为了这个土豆打算申请吉尼斯纪录，并因此在当地出名的事情，因此C项“可能最大的土豆”符合题意。故选C项。 Passage 3 （24-25高一上·浙江杭州西湖·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.” 4．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. 5．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. 6．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. 7．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】4．D 5．C 6．A 7．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。 4．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。 5．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。 6．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。 7．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03 人与自我 Passage 1 （24-25高一上·广东茂名五中·期末） As a child, there was nothing I liked better than Sunday afternoons at my grandfather’s farm in western Pennsylvania. Surrounded by miles of stone walls, the house and field provided endless hours of fun for a city kid like me. Since my first visit to the farm, I had wanted more than anything to be allowed to climb the stone walls surrounding the houses. My parents would never agree because the walls were so old that some stones were loose and falling. However, my idea to climb across those walls grew so strong that finally I had all my courage to enter the living room, where the adults had gathered after Sunday dinner. “I want to climb the stone walls.” I said. “Heavens, no! You’ll hurt yourself!” The response was just as I’d expected. But before I left the room, I was stopped by my grandfather’s loud voice. “Now hold on just a minute.” I heard him say. “Let the boy climb the stone walls. He has to learn to do things for himself.” “Go,” he said to me, “and come and see me when you get back.” For the next two and a half hours I climbed those old walls —and had the time of my life. Later I met with my grandfather to tell him about my adventures. I’ll never forget what he said. “Fred,” he said, smiling, “you made this day a special day just by being yourself. Always remember, there’s only one person in this whole world like you, and I like you exactly as you are.” Many years have passed since then, and today I host the television program Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood, seen by millions of children throughout America. There have been changes over the years, but one thing remains the same: my message to children at the end of almost every visit. “There’s only one person in this whole world like you,” the kids will hear me say, “and people can like you exactly as you are.” 8．Why did the writer enjoy his visits to the farm? A．There were old stone houses. B．He was allowed to climb the walls. C．He missed his grandfather a lot. D．He could experience new fun there. 9．What can be inferred about the writer from the passage? A．He was backed up by his grandfather to follow his heart. B．He didn’t expect his parents’ disagreement on wall climbing. C．He became a TV program host with his grandfather’s help. D．He didn’t know the possible danger of the stone walls. 10．Which of the following can best describe the author’s grandfather? A．Open-minded. B．Adventurous. C．Kind-hearted. D．Dependable. 11．Which is probably the best title for the text? A．Unforgettable Childhood B．Just Be Yourself C．Do Whatever You Like D．Like grandfather, like grandson 【答案】8．D 9．A 10．A 11．B 【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章主要通过作者幼年的一件趣事，感悟到每个人都是独一无二的，要敢于做自己。 8．细节理解题。根据文章第一段“As a child, there was nothing I liked better than Sunday afternoons at my grandfather’s farm in western Pennsylvania. Surrounded by miles of stone walls, the house and field provided endless hours of fun for a city kid like me.(当我还是个孩子的时候，没有什么比在宾夕法尼亚州西部祖父的农场里度过周日下午更让我喜欢的了。房子和田地被绵延数英里的蜿蜒石墙环绕着，为像我这样的城市孩子提供了无尽的乐趣。)”可知，作者喜欢去农场是因为他可以在那里体验到新的乐趣。故选D项。 9．推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段““Fred,” he said, smiling, “you made this day a special day just by being yourself. Always remember, there’s only one person in this whole world like you, and I like you exactly as you are.””(“弗雷德，”他微笑着说，“你做了你自己，使今天成为一个特别的日子。永远记住，这个世界上只有一个人喜欢你，我喜欢真实的你。”)”可知，作者的祖父支持他遵从自己的内心。故选A项。 10．推理判断题。根据文章第三段“But before I left the room, I was stopped by my grandfather’s loud voice. “Now hold on just a minute.” I heard him say. “Let the boy climb the stone walls. He has to learn to do things for himself.” (但在我离开房间之前，我被祖父的大声声音拦住了。“现在请稍等一下。”我听见他说，“让孩子爬石墙吧。他必须学会自己做事情。”)”可推知，祖父赞成孩子学会自己做事，所以祖父是一个非常开明的人。故选A项。 11．主旨大意题。根据文章最后一句““There’s only one person in this whole world like you,” the kids will hear me say, “and people can like you exactly as you are.” (“这个世界上只有一个人和你一样，”孩子们会听到我说，“人们会喜欢你本来的样子。”)”以及结合作者与祖父之间的故事可知，本文主要围绕着“敢于做自己”这一主题展开，故C项“Just Be Yourself.(做你自己)”概括全文，最合适作为文章的标题。故选B项。 Passage 2 （24-25高一上·广东深圳外国语学校·期末） Snowboarding genius Su Yiming made a name for himself by winning China’s first Olympic gold in the men’s snowboard big air final at the Beijing Winter Olympics.

Just over two years later, Su is the name on everyone’s lips at the venue’s Olympic debut, drawing the whole nation’s attention to the sport he loves. “The biggest motivation for me is my love for snowboarding,” Su said, when asked about the secret to his success. “In snowboarding, I feel like I can show my own style and creativity. Every time I ride my board, it’s always a joyful moment. I hope through my experience, I can inspire more young people to get interested in the sport.” Su, a former child actor who featured in action movies, said the Olympic gold will encourage him to seek for more breakthroughs, even beyond his athletic career. “I enjoy snowboarding just as much as I enjoy acting,” said Su, who turns 18 on Friday. “I think I still have a lot of possibilities to explore in my future career either in snowboarding or in acting.

(如今，两枚闪耀的奖牌挂在这位17岁少年的脖子上，他将自己出色的奥运首秀描述为一次令人难以置信的经历，这让他此前做出的所有牺牲都变得值得。苏翊鸣说：“这种感觉太不真实了，我终于实现了从小就梦想的事情。”)”可知，苏翊鸣儿时的梦想是达到这项运动的顶峰。故选C。 26．细节理解题。由文章第四段中““The biggest motivation for me is my love for snowboarding,” Su said, when asked about the secret to his success. (当被问及成功的秘诀时，苏翊鸣说：“我最大的动力就是对单板滑雪的热爱。”)”可知，对苏翊鸣来说，最大的动力是他对雪板运动的热爱。故选D。 27．推理判断题。由文章第一段中“The notable achievement realized his childhood dream to reach the peak of the sport, which he began to learn at the age of 4.

However, I didn’t have the slightest idea that this language would be my future major in college. Then, when I started studying it at college, oh, jeez …pretty challenging! ” Nevertheless, as with a dragon story, there is a twist in the tail, and Dilsora’s despair gave way to nobler principles. “Give up? Nope! Instead, I pressed on with Chinese. ” she added with a giggle, “My mother also encouraged me all the way! ” Gradually, her feelings toward Chinese changed in the second year of college after Dilsora got a scholarship to study at Northeast Normal University in Changchun for a year, which proved a big turn on the pages of her fulfilling life. “The first time I came to China, amazingly engaging were the locals, by whom I was totally fascinated. In spite of myself, I fell in love with Chinese culture. ” Since then she has got master's and doctoral degrees, becoming a college teacher in Beijing, teaching Uzbek to Chinese students. In her spare time, being an all-nighter, she often loses herself in Chinese masterpieces. Two years later, on Instagram, she even set up a Chinese Reading Club to attract more to read. “Although I am ordinary, ” just as she, now the boss of the Reading Club, matter-of-factly put it, “since I’ve come this far, I am to come further. Harvesting the best outcome is my lasting dream. ” Those primary schoolers hearing the tale of Dilsora devoting so much to Chinese learning might be several times more likely to learn Chinese hard than those who didn’t, as Jimu news staff predicted. Besides, Dilsora has answered another calling: translating books by Chinese president into Uzbek. She said the leader’s foresight has impressed her greatly. 24．What does the underlined words “a twist in the tail” in paragraph 1 refer to? A．The turning point of a story. B．The turning movement of a dragon’s tail. C．The highest point of a story. D．The dancing movement of a dragon’s tail. 25．How did Dilsora feel when she started to study Chinese?

B．While in Roman, do as the Romans do. C．Nothing is difficult for those who will try. D．East or west, home is the best. 27．What might be talked about next following the last paragraph? A．Dilsora’s personal dream. B．Dilsora’s family background. C．Chinese leaders’ works. D．Chinese leaders’ hobbies. 【答案】24．A 25．A 26．C 27．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，文章主要介绍了乌兹别克斯坦女孩Dilsora学习汉语的励志故事。 24．词句猜测题。根据第一段中的“…and Dilsora’s despair gave way to nobler principles. “Give up? Nope! Instead, I pressed on with Chinese. ”(……Dilsora的绝望让位于更高尚的原则。“放弃？不！取而代之的是，我继续学习中文。”)”可知，对于汉语的学习，由最初的绝望到后来的坚持，这是事情出现转机。a twist in the tail意为“故事的转折点”。故选A。 25．细节理解题。根据第一段中的“…and Dilsora’s despair gave way to nobler principles. “Give up? Nope! Instead, I pressed on with Chinese. ” she added with a giggle, “My mother also encouraged me all the way! ”(……Dilsora的绝望让位于更崇高的原则。“放弃？不！相反，我继续学习中文。”她笑着补充道，“我妈妈也一直鼓励我！”)”可知，Dilsora开始学习中文时感觉很挫败，但是她很坚定。故选A。 26．推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Since then she has got master's and doctoral degrees, becoming a college teacher in Beijing, teaching Uzbek to Chinese students. In her spare time, being an all-nighter, she often loses herself in Chinese masterpieces. Two years later, on Instagram, she even set up a Chinese Reading Club to attract more to read. (从那以后，她获得了硕士和博士学位，成为了北京的一名大学教师，教中国学生乌兹别克语。在业余时间，她夜以继日，经常沉浸在中国名著中。两年后，她甚至在Instagram上成立了一个中文读书俱乐部，以吸引更多人阅读。)”可知，Dilsora的成功故事告诉我们对那些愿意尝试的人来说，没有什么是困难的。故选C。 27．推理判断题。根据最后一段的最后一句“She said the leader’s foresight has impressed her greatly. (她说，这位领导人的远见卓识给她留下了深刻的印象。)”可推知，接下来本文可能会谈论中国领导人的作品。故选C。 主题01 人与社会 Passage 1 （24-25高一上·广东茂名五中·期末） Young soldiers, far away from home and missing their families, discover a bear cub. That’s how the story of Wojtek begins, back in 1942. He was alone in the mountains of Iran; nobody knows how he got there. When the exhausted Polish soldiers came upon Wojtek, they were immediately struck with emotions. They had been away from their loved ones for a long time. They needed something to pick their spirits up. So, they nursed the baby bear with milk from a bottle and named him Wojtek, which means: a warrior to whom fighting brings joy. Wojtek was officially adopted into the army. He traveled with the army to the Middle East, providing comradery and entertainment. He would wrestle with the men, chase after oranges they cast for him and follow them about like a puppy. He became their connection to humanity in a time when the light of peace seemed so far away. And, like a child, he was also playful. In the desert heat, he learned how to break into the showers and turn on the water. He could also be seen pulling trunks of empty gun shells with the men or standing at attention in formation. Wojtek was also the chief frightener of new members: He would literally bear hug them and hold them upside down for a good laugh. Getting through the hardship of war takes something extraordinary, something unexpectedly dangerous to preserve your mental state. That’s what Wojtek did for the men who had been so long in the fog and uncertainty of World War II. A playful bear became the symbol of strength and adaptability. Thankfully, wars ended but Wojtek was not forgotten. He was shipped with a group of men to a farm in Scotland, which was a fitting place to retire for a bear with so much military experience. Wojtek was a local celebrity. Stories of him kicking a soccer ball, attending local dances and parties, and enjoying jam and honey are still told today. And to everyone who knew him, Wojtek was the one that made a difficult time a little more bearable. 12．How did the Polish soldiers react after they found the bear? A．They were hit by the bear. B．They accepted him and fed him. C．They called Wojtek names. D．They brought joy to him like warriors. 13．What did Wojtek do in the army? A．He would run after and eat up the oranges thrown by the soldiers. B．He could pull branches with the soldiers to the army camp. C．He would stand and listen attentively for information. D．He would play tricks on those newly-joined soldiers. 14．What happened to Wojtek after World War II? A．He became famous and brought joy to the locals in a farm in Scotland. B．He settled down with the Polish army in a farm in Scotland. C．He enjoyed his life in another army in a farm in Scotland. D．He was shipped to his hometown with the help of the Polish soldiers. 15．What is the best title of the passage? A．Wojtek: The Wild Warrior in the Desert Storm B．Wojtek: From the Frontlines to a Hairy Friend C．A Lifelong Bear Friend with the Scottish Locals D．Bearing Witness: The Remarkable Tale of the Polish Army 【答案】12．B 13．D 14．A 15．B 【导语】本文是记叙文。文章主要讲述了二战期间波兰士兵发现了一只小熊，士兵们收养了它，随后这只小熊跟随士兵们上了前线，为士兵们提供了精神上的慰藉。二战结束后，士兵们把这只叫做Wojtek的熊送到了苏格兰的一个农场去养老，同时，它也给当地的人们带去了欢乐。 12．细节理解题。根据第二段中“So, they nursed the baby bear with milk from a bottle and named him Wojtek, which means: a warrior to whom fighting brings joy. (于是，他们用奶瓶里的奶喂养了这只小熊，并给它起名叫Wojtek，意思是‘一个以战斗为乐的战士’)”可知，波兰士兵发现小熊后，接受了它并开始喂养它。故选B。 13．细节理解题。根据第三段中“Wojtek was also the chief frightener of new members: He would literally bear hug them and hold them upside down for a good laugh.(Wojtek也是新成员最害怕的人：他真的会拥抱他们，并把他们倒立起来，让他们开怀大笑。)”可知，Wojtek会捉弄那些新入伍的士兵。故选D。 14．细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Wojtek was a local celebrity. Stories of him kicking a soccer ball, attending local dances and parties, and enjoying jam and honey are still told today. And to everyone who knew him, Wojtek was the one that made a difficult time a little more bearable. (Wojtek是当地的名人。他踢足球、参加当地舞会和派对、享用果酱和蜂蜜的故事至今仍在流传。对于所有认识他的人来说，Wojtek让那个艰难的时刻变得更容易忍受)”可知，二战结束后，Wojtek在当地非常有名，给苏格兰一个当地农场的人们带来了欢乐。故选A。 15．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中“Young soldiers, far away from home and missing their families, discover a bear cub. That’s how the story of Wojtek begins, back in 1942. (远离家乡、想念家人的年轻士兵发现了一只小熊。1942 年，Wojtek的故事就这样开始了。)”和最后一段中“ He was shipped with a group of men to a farm in Scotland, which was a fitting place to retire for a bear with so much military experience. Wojtek was a local celebrity. Stories of him kicking a soccer ball, attending local dances and parties, and enjoying jam and honey are still told today. And to everyone who knew him, Wojtek was the one that made a difficult time a little more bearable.(他和一群人一起被运到苏格兰的一个农场，对于一只有这么多军事经验的熊来说，那里是一个适合退休的地方。沃伊泰克是当地的名人。他踢足球、参加当地舞会和聚会、享用果酱和蜂蜜的故事至今仍在流传。对所有认识他的人来说，沃伊泰克是那个让艰难时刻变得更容易忍受的人。)”可知，文章主要讲述了小熊Wojtek在战时被士兵收养，他在战场上给士兵们带去了慰藉。战争结束后，他被送到苏格兰的农场养老，给当地的人们带去了欢乐。所以B项“Wojtek：从前线到成为毛茸茸的朋友”概括了大意，适合作本文的标题。故选B。 Passage 2 （24-25高一上·湖北武汉·期末） The snowstorm was supposed to hit on the evening. On the way home from work, I filled up my car with gas and picked up two pizzas because my kids, aged 10 and 15, wanted their mom to get some for dinner. Then the snow started, and came down so fast that it screamed. It was terrifying! I didn’t know where I was. It was now about 6 pm and dark. What would my black car look like in such a heavy snowstorm at night? Would it be invisible? Was I on someone’s farm? Or worse, was I on the wrong side of the road? I searched my location online and figured out that I was on a road called Bouvier Lane. It was now 6:30 pm. I posted this new information to my Facebook community group, asking anyone who knew someone nearby to rescue me. At 8 pm, my phone rang. It was the daughter of the farmer who owned the land beside the road where my car was stranded. She told me that her dad was coming to get me! About 45 minutes later, I saw a tall figure in a yellow raincoat walking toward me in the dark, carrying a flashlight (手电筒). It was André Bouvier, 80 years old, who’d walked half a mile through the snowstorm to find me, fighting the wind and snow each step of the way. When we reached his house a few minutes later, I got out of the car and burst into tears. All my fears disappeared and I was grateful. The experience let me approach challenges and surprises with a sense of calm. It reminded me to always reach out and help others — both friends and strangers. But best of all, it brought André into my life. We’re still in touch, and I know we'll be friends forever. 4．What can we learn about the author from the first two paragraphs? A．Her car was out of gas. B．Her car was on someone's farm. C．She couldn't see the road. D．She didn't expect the snowstorm. 5．What does the underlined word “stranded” in paragraph 3 mean? A．Driven.

A．A Snowstorm Night Rescue B．The Most Familiar Strangers C．The Life-saving Facebook Post D．An Encounter in the Snowstorm 【答案】4．C 5．D 6．B 7．A 【导语】这是一篇记叙文，文章主要讲述讲述了作者在遭遇暴风雪后被困路上，通过向社区求助最终得到好心人André Bouvier帮助的故事。 4．推理判断题。根据第二段中“I didn’t know where I was.(我不知道自己身在何处)”以及“What would my black car look like in such a heavy snowstorm at night? Would it be invisible? Was I on someone’s farm? Or worse, was I on the wrong side of the road? I searched my location online and figured out that I was on a road called Bouvier Lane.(在这么大的暴风雪中，我的黑色轿车会是什么样子呢？它会看不见吗？我是在别人的农场吗？或者更糟，是我走错路了吗？我在网上搜索了我的位置，发现我在一条叫布维尔巷的路上)”可知，由于暴风雪作者看不见路，不知道自己身在何处，故选C。 5．词句猜测题。根据第二段中“What would my black car look like in such a heavy snowstorm at night?(在这么大的暴风雪中，我的黑色轿车会是什么样子呢？)”和“I posted this new information to my Facebook community group, asking anyone who knew someone nearby to rescue me.(我把这个新信息发布到我的Facebook社区群里，请求任何认识附近某人的人来救我)”以及划线词所在句子“At 8 pm, my phone rang. It was the daughter of the farmer who owned the land beside the road where my car was stranded. (晚上8点，我的电话响了。那是我的车被stranded在路边的那块地的主人的女儿。)”可知，作者的车被困在暴风雪中，stranded意为“困住”，故选D。 6．细节理解题。根据第二段中“I posted this new information to my Facebook community group, asking anyone who knew someone nearby to rescue me.(我把这个新信息发布到我的Facebook社区群里，请求任何认识附近某人的人来救我)”和第三段中“At 8 pm, my phone rang.

It reminded me to always reach out and help others — both friends and strangers.(这段经历让我以一种冷静的态度面对挑战和惊喜。它提醒我要随时伸出援手，帮助别人——无论是朋友还是陌生人)”可知，文章主要讲述讲述了作者在遭遇暴风雪后被困路上，通过向社区求助最终得到好心人André Bouvier帮助的故事。A项“暴风雪夜的一次救援”为最佳标题，故选A。 Passage 3 （24-25高一上·江苏锡山高级中学·期末） In the forest, trees often give each other space to reach for the sky,a habit that humans can learn from when it comes to setting personal boundaries. Next time you go for a walk in a forest or woodland take a moment to look above you. You might find that the crown(树冠）resembles a breathtaking umbrella with channel-like gaps between the tops of the trees. This phenomenon has been documented worldwide since the 1920s, and is called “crown shyness”. It happens when trees appear to give each other space. Even when trees grow close together, they show a mutual (相互的）respect and offer benefits. This is true in the case of “married” trees -where a tree intertwines（缠绕）with one resistant to disease, it shares the advantages of its friend. Maintaining healthy boundaries help trees to maintain good health, manage resources and protect the forest as a whole. When humans fail to respect boundaries, the emotional and physical resources of individuals,and the community can be affected. In this sense, a boundary is a conceptual border. It helps to establish where you end and other people begin. It means taking responsibility for only your own emotions and actions, not other people’s. You could think of your boundaries as a moat (护城河）around your castle, complete with a drawbridge that can be lowered or raised. As the gatekeeper of your castle, you decide who and what comes in and when. Of course, marking out boundaries takes time, and some people might be unhappy about any changes you make. Establishing a clear line between you and the rest of the world, however, is essential for building the self-worth and self-care needed to function at your best in relationships. 4．What is “crown shyness”? A．A crown with channel-like gaps. B．A forest with umbrella-shaped crowns. C．A behavior that trees give each other space. D．A phenomenon that trees compete for space. 5．How does the author develop Paragraph 3? A．By telling a story. B．By giving an example. C．By defining a concept. D．By making a comparison. 6．What is Paragraph 4 mainly about? A．The effects of ignoring boundaries. B．The meaning of taking responsibilities. C．The importance of setting personal boundaries. D．The methods of managing individual resources. 7．What is the author’s attitude to marking out a boundary? A．Favorable. B．Intolerant. C．Doubtful. D．Conservative. 【答案】4．C 5．B 6．C 7．A 【导语】本文是议论文。文章主要讲述人与人之间要建立界限。 4．推理判断题。根据第二段“You might find that the crown(树冠）resembles a breathtaking umbrella with channel-like gaps between the tops of the trees. This phenomenon has been documented worldwide since the 1920s, and is called “crown shyness”. It happens when trees appear to give each other space.”(你可能会发现王冠就像一把令人窒息的伞，在树顶之间有沟壑状的缝隙。自20世纪20年代以来，这种现象在世界范围内都有记录，被称为“王冠性羞怯”。当树木互相给予空间时就会发生这种情况。)可知，“crown shyness”是树木在生长过程中的相互给与对方空间的行为。故选C。 5．推理判断题。根据第三段“Even when trees grow close together, they show a mutual (相互的）respect and offer benefits. This is true in the case of “married” trees -where a tree intertwines（缠绕）with one resistant to disease, it shares the advantages of its friend. Maintaining healthy boundaries help trees to maintain good health, manage resources and protect the forest as a whole.”(即使当树木紧密地生长在一起时，它们也表现出对生物的尊重和好处。“已婚”的树就是这样——一棵树与一棵抗病树缠结在一起，它就分享了它的朋友的优势。保持健康的边界有助于树木保持良好的健康，管理资源和保护整个森林。)可知，这一段通过用“已婚”的树做例子来证明即使当树木紧密地生长在一起时，它们也表现出对生物的尊重和好处。故选B。 6．主旨大意题。根据第四段“When humans fail to respect boundaries, the emotional and physical resources of individuals, and the community can be affected. In this sense, a boundary is a conceptual border. It helps to establish where you end and other people begin. It means taking responsibility for only your own emotions and actions, not other people’s. You could think of your boundaries as a moat (护城河）around your castle, complete with a drawbridge that can be lowered or raised. As the gatekeeper of your castle, you decide who and what comes in and when.”(当人类不尊重界限时，个人的情感和物质资源，以及社区都会受到影响。在这个意义上，边界是一个概念上的边界。它有助于建立你的结束和其他人的开始。这意味着只对自己的情绪和行为负责，而不是别人的。你可以把你的边界想象成城堡周围的护城河，有一座吊桥可以升降。作为你城堡的守门人，你决定谁进来，什么时候进来。)可知，这一段主要陈述建立边界的重要性体现。故选C。 7．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Of course, marking out boundaries takes time, and some people might be unhappy about any changes you make. Establishing a clear line between you and the rest of the world, however, is essential for building the self-worth and self-care needed to function at your best in relationships.”(当然，划清界限需要时间，有些人可能会对你做的任何改变感到不满。然而，在你和世界其他地方之间建立一条清晰的界线，对于建立自我价值和自我照顾是必不可少的，这些都是你在人际关系中处于最佳状态所必需的。)可知，作者对于人与人之间划清界限是支持的态度。故选A。 Passage 4 （24-25高一上·山东威海·期末） I don’t remember a time in my life when I didn’t have Laura. Our houses were down the road from each other. From my earliest memory, I would walk the path to hers, and she would walk it to mine. If we timed it right, we’d meet somewhere in the middle. We didn’t have cell phones back then, and I don’t remember calling each other much on the house phones either. We’d just show up. Most of my childhood memories are with Laura. We wrote secret notes and left them in trees to rediscover later and we’d name fishes at the pond. Occasionally we would disagree, and one of us would walk home, but we’d always show up again a few hours later. The beauty of childhood friendships, of course, is that we are completely ourselves in them. I didn’t need to dress a certain way for Laura; she didn’t need to agree on everything. If one of us was tired, we would say so. If one of us didn’t feel like talking for a while, we didn’t. It was all quite simple. As adults, friendships can be more complicated than they were in childhood. We have to consider how our words and behaviors affect others. If you are an over-thinker like me, an evening of socializing might end with a series of thoughts: Should I have said that? Did I take that the wrong way? Why didn’t I say that differently? Those thoughts, although necessary at times, can also be tiring. If I take a step back and learn from my friendship with Laura, I can remind myself that friendships are not about being perfect but about being real. There’s something magical about those childhood friendships. There is something special about them that is beyond just nostalgia (怀旧). Perhaps that something is the truthfulness of it. 8．What is the key to her friendship with Laura according to the author? A．Being themselves. B．Agreeing on everything. C．Sharing similar interests. D．Communicating regularly. 9．What does the author think of adult friendships? A．They are long-lasting. B．They can lead to overthinking. C．They are more realistic. D．They can bring new thoughts. 10．What does the author imply in the last paragraph? A．Childhood friendships are worth remembering. B．Being real plays an important role in friendships. C．Nostalgia adds to the magic of childhood friendships. D．Friendships are only meaningful when they are perfect. 11．What is the text mainly about? A．What we can learn from childhood friendships. B．Friendship matters for both children and adults. C．How childhood friendships develop into adult ones. D．The differences between childhood and adult friendships. 【答案】8．A 9．B 10．B 11．A 【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章讲述了作者与劳拉儿时的友谊，对比了儿时和成年后友谊的不同，最后指出应从儿时友谊中学到友谊的关键是真实。 8．细节理解题。根据第三段中“The beauty of childhood friendships, of course, is that we are completely ourselves in them. I didn’t need to dress a certain way for Laura; she didn’t need to agree on everything. If one of us was tired, we would say so. If one of us didn’t feel like talking for a while, we didn’t. It was all quite simple.(当然，童年友谊的美妙之处在于，在其中我们完全做自己。我不需要为了劳拉而以某种特定的方式穿着；她也不需要在所有事情上都达成一致。如果我们中有一个人累了，我们就会直说。如果我们中有一个人有一阵子不想说话，我们就不说话。一切都很简单)”可知，作者认为与劳拉友谊的关键是做自己。故选A项。 9．细节理解题。根据第四段“As adults, friendships can be more complicated than they were in childhood. We have to consider how our words and behaviors affect others. If you are an over-thinker like me, an evening of socializing might end with a series of thoughts: Should I have said that? Did I take that the wrong way? Why didn’t I say that differently? Those thoughts, although necessary at times, can also be tiring.(作为成年人，友谊可能比童年时期更复杂。我们必须考虑我们的言语和行为如何影响他人。如果你像我一样是一个过度思考的人，一个晚上的社交活动可能会以一系列的想法结束：我当时应该那样说吗？我是不是理解错了？我为什么不换一种方式说呢？这些想法虽然有时是必要的，但也会让人疲惫)”可知，作者认为成年人的友谊更复杂，我们必须考虑我们的言语和行为如何影响他人，所以会导致过度思考。故选B项。 10．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“If I take a step back and learn from my friendship with Laura, I can remind myself that friendships are not about being perfect but about being real. There’s something magical about those childhood friendships. There is something special about them that is beyond just nostalgia. Perhaps that something is the truthfulness of it.(如果我退后一步，从与劳拉的友谊中学习，我可以提醒自己，友谊不是追求完美，而是追求真实。那些童年友谊有一种神奇的东西。它们有一些特别之处，不仅仅是怀旧。也许这种特别之处就是它的真实性)”可知，作者认为友谊不是追求完美，而是追求真实，所以暗示真实在友谊中起着重要作用。故选B项。 11．主旨大意题。通读全文，结合最后一段“If I take a step back and learn from my friendship with Laura, I can remind myself that friendships are not about being perfect but about being real.(如果我退后一步，从与劳拉的友谊中学习，我可以提醒自己，友谊不是追求完美，而是追求真实)”可知，本文主要讲的是我们可以从童年友谊中学到的东西。故选A项。 Passage 5 （24-25高一上·浙江杭州西湖·期末） There is a fine line between a fake (赝品) and an exact copy of masterpieces. To an extent, it rests in the copyist’s intention. Are they trying to fool you and knowingly miss-sell their copy as an original, or are they openly presenting it as a replica (复制品). Adam Lowe — a trained artist in the copying business — has kept strictly to the well-intentioned camp. For a quarter of a century Lowe has spent his considerable energy producing high-quality reproductions of paintings and sculptures for museums and galleries around the world. He describes his digital scanning technique as being more close to drawing than to photography, as four cameras are suspended above a painting’s surface taking pictures from every perceived angle to create a single composite image. From this data a precise mould (模具) of the picture surface is made, with which the high-resolution digital photograph is then printed. The Prado Museum in Madrid appointed Lowe’s company, Factum Arte, to scan its collection of Black Paintings by Francisco de Goya. Lowe produced a high-resolution close-up crop of the Spanish artist’s famous The Dog, a framed copy of which you can buy in the museum’s shop for about 990 euros. He has taken the idea of copying even further through his Spanish Gallery where “nothing is real” — from the decorated ceiling to the paintings hanging on the walls. He declares it his “greatest achievement”. Lowe sees his creations as the 21st-century version of “cultural preservation” and thinks it ought to be funded by governments and universities. He has spoken to the mayor of Madrid about setting up a global arts center for cutting-edge digital technologies, but that ambition remains in the hands of the politicians. I went to visit Lowe at his art-making HQ, located on the edge of Madrid. Top-of-the-range digital printers, complex cameras and virtual reality headsets dotted the 3D-printed Greek sculptures. An army of computer scientists were busy with their works. As he sat down with a cool glass of early evening wine he seemed worn down by decades of skepticism. “People call us Factum, the factory of fakes,” he complained. “What we are doing is scientific recording to give accurate information about the artwork’s surface that allows you to understand it better and more deeply.” 12．What is the primary purpose of Adam Lowe’s work? A．To create exact fakes of famous artworks. B．To replace original artworks with replicas. C．To sell copies of masterpieces to private collectors. D．To produce high-quality reproductions for museums. 13．What’s special about Lowe’s technique? A．It uses a single camera to capture the entire image. B．It involves drawing each part of the painting by hand. C．It relies on computer-generated imageries to create the artwork. D．It uses multiple (多个的) cameras to take pictures from different angles. 14．How do people think of Lowe’s work? A．They think his work is overpriced. B．They consider his replicas to be fakes. C．They believe his technique is outdated. D．They doubt the accuracy of his reproductions. 15．What is the best title for the passage? A．The Innovative Technique of Adam Lowe B．The Debate over Fake Artworks in Museums C．The Challenges of Running a Copying Business D．Preserving Art Through High-Quality Reproductions 【答案】12．D 13．D 14．B 15．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Adam Lowe花费25年为世界各地博物馆和画廊制作高质量艺术复制品，采用多相机多角度拍摄的数字扫描技术，虽被人视为制作赝品，但他认为这是21世纪的文化保护方式。 12．细节理解题。根据第二段中“For a quarter of a century Lowe has spent his considerable energy producing high-quality reproductions of paintings and sculptures for museums and galleries around the world. (25年来，Lowe花费了大量精力为世界各地的博物馆和画廊制作高质量的绘画和雕塑复制品)”可知，Adam Lowe工作的主要目的是为博物馆制作高质量的复制品。故选D项。 13．细节理解题。根据第二段中“He describes his digital scanning technique as being more close to drawing than to photography, as four cameras are suspended above a painting’s surface taking pictures from every perceived angle to create a single composite image. (他说他的数字扫描技术更接近绘画，而不是摄影，因为四个相机悬挂在画作表面，从每个感知到的角度拍照，以创建一个单一的合成图像)”可知，Lowe的技术特点是使用多个相机从不同角度拍摄照片。故选D项。 14．细节理解题。根据最后一段中Lowe所说的话“People call us Factum, the factory of fakes (人们叫我们Factum，假货工厂)”可知，人们认为Lowe的复制品是赝品。故选B项。 15．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中“Adam Lowe — a trained artist in the copying business — has kept strictly to the well-intentioned camp. (Adam Lowe——一位从事复制工作的专业艺术家——一直严格秉持善意复制的原则)”可知，文章主要讲述了Adam Lowe通过制作高质量的复制品来进行文化保护的故事，他为世界各地博物馆和画廊制作高质量艺术复制品，采用多相机多角度拍摄的数字扫描技术，虽被人视为制作赝品，但他认为这是21世纪的文化保护方式。因此，D项“通过高质量复制品保护艺术”最契合文章主旨，适合作为文章标题。故选D项。 主题02 人与自然 Passage 1 （24-25高一上·湖北荆州中学·期末） Teenagers who travel around the world alone have been making headlines quite often. A young person alone in a dangerous situation attracts attention and supporters. Young sailors also attract various views. For example, Jessica Watson was asked by the government to call off her solo trip across the ocean, yet the Prime Minister (总理) called her “a hero for young Australians” when she returned.  It seems views are poles apart on the ability and independence of young people. Some experts tell us that teenage brains are likely to make wrong judgments. But such ideas often do not apply to specific individuals (个体) . Between the ages of 14 and 18, teenagers differ greatly in their abilities. The amount of independence that each is allowed should be determined not simply by their ages but by discussion with the related, responsible adults. Some teens are certainly inexperienced and make childish mistakes, but the ones who attempt dangerous journeys normally do so by winning the confidence of hard-headed and experienced adult supporters. But it’s also wrong to think that any 16-year-old can make a hit as Jessica Watson. Watson calls herself “a common girl who had a dream”. Her purpose is to encourage teenagers but this idea can have the opposite effect of making them feel not good enough because great achievements are beyond them. Should all teens have such wild dreams? Actually, individuals face different conditions that limit their dreams. Teenagers who travel around the world alone should not be judged by preconceived (先入为主的) views about young people. Nor should young “common” teenagers feel pressure to long for extraordinary personal goals. In fact, I believe the example of solo sailing overstresses what an individual can do. The teenage years are when most of us “common” people learn that we can achieve great things in cooperation with others. 8．Why is Jessica Watson mentioned in the first paragraph? A．To set a heroic example for teenagers. B．To point out the public’s interest in young people. C．To introduce different opinions on teenagers’ adventures. D．To show the Prime Minister disagreed with the government. 9．What can determine the amount of teenagers’ independence? A．Different journeys. B．Brain development. C．Communication with adults. D．Confidence in themselves. 10．What does Watson mean by calling herself “a common girl who had a dream”? A．She likes dangerous journeys. B．Teenagers can make success. C．She can accept she is common. D．Teenagers should go travelling. 11．What’s the author’s attitude towards teenagers’ act of travelling alone? A．Doubtful. B．Supportive. C．Uncaring. D．Uncertain. 【答案】8．C 9．C 10．B 11．A 【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章主要讲述了各方对于青少年独自一人环游世界或航行的不同看法。 8．推理判断题。根据文章第一段“For example, Jessica Watson was asked by the government to call off her solo trip across the ocean, yet the Prime Minister (总理) called her “a hero for young Australians” when she returned. It seems views are poles apart on the ability and independence of young people.(例如，杰西卡·沃森被政府要求取消她的航行，但当她回来时，总理称她为“澳大利亚年轻人的英雄”。人们似乎对年轻人的能力和独立性感到困惑)”可知，对于Jessica Watson的冒险行为人们的看法不一致，文章用这个例子为下文人们对年轻人冒险行为的不同看法进行铺垫。故选C。 9．细节理解题。根据文章第二段“The amount of independence that each is allowed should be determined not simply by their ages but by discussion with the related, responsible adults.(每个人的独立程度不应该简单地由他们的年龄来决定，而应该通过与相关的、负责任的成年人讨论来决定。)”可知，与成年人的交流可以决定青少年的独立性。故选C。 10．词句猜测题。根据文章第三段“Her purpose is to encourage teenagers but this idea can have the opposite effect of making them feel not good enough because great achievements are beyond them. (她的意图是鼓励青少年，但这个想法可能会产生相反的效果，让他们觉得自己不够好，因为伟大的成就超出了他们的能力范围)”可知，Jessica Watson说自己是一个有梦想的普通女孩的本意是想鼓励其他青少年也可以像她一样取得成功。故选B。 11．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Teenagers who travel around the world alone should not be judged by preconceived (先入为主的)views about young people. Nor should young “common” teenagers feel pressure to long for extraordinary personal goals. In fact, I believe the example of solo sailing overstresses what an individual can do. The teenage years are when most of us “common” people learn that we can achieve great things in cooperation with others. (不应该用对年轻人先入为主的看法来评判独自环游世界的青少年。年轻的“普通”青少年也不应该感到渴望非凡的个人目标的压力。事实上，我认为单人航海的例子过分强调了个人主义。青少年时期是我们大多数“普通人”知道我们可以与他人合作取得伟大成就的时候)”可知，作者觉得独自一人旅行太过于强调个人主义了。因此作者对此行为持“质疑”的态度。故选A。 Passage 2 （24-25高一上·浙江杭州学军中学·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. 4．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. 5．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. 6．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. 7．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】4．D 5．A 6．B 7．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。 4．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。 5．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。 6．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。 7．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 Passage 1 （24-25高一上·广东湛江·期末） The first time I realized that I had a love for sports competitions was during the Field Day in primary school. Small for my age, and more of a book-lover than a sports-lover, I had suffered that special humiliation of being picked last for various gym teams. The Field Day, which focused on individual (个体的) skills, however, was different. In the Softball Throw event, I got my first taste of sporting victory. Credit goes to the example of my first coach, my father. He lifted weights every morning at home. He bought us all baseball gloves and hats, and in the warm months, we spent hours playing catch. When fall came, our backyard football games began with passing practice. Once I got to seventh grade and went to middle school, our entire student body was assigned to either the Red or the White team. Throughout the year, we competed against each other in various games and exercises for points. I eventually became president of The Committee of Games, speeding up my competitive fever. I also played on the field hockey team and the basketball team. And at home, playing tennis, skating, skiing and biking were simply normal things we did. As I attended college, my roommate and I even took up the habit of completing Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) exercises every day, a practice that continued into my marriage, when we had no spare money to use to join a gym. So, though, it shocks some of our friends, that early foundation (基础) developed in adulthood into a sports and fitness focus, considered necessary even on vacation. I still love reading and the arts, too. As far as I’m concerned, life is the richest with my feet in both worlds. 4．What does the underlined word “humiliation” mean in paragraph 1? A．Shame. B．Regret. C．Glory. D．Responsibility. 5．In the author’s view, what led to her victory in the Softball Throw event? A．Her confidence in her sports skills. B．The sports talent from her father. C．Her advanced sports gloves and hats. D．The training offered by her father. 6．What happened after the author stepped into adulthood? A．She continued her passion for sports. B．She preferred reading to working out. C．She regularly exercised on weekends. D．She joined Royal Canadian Air Force. 7．What is the author’s purpose of writing the article? A．To show her father’s guidance on sports. B．To express her love for sports and fitness. C．To stress the benefits of physical exercise. D．To share her childhood memories about sports. 【答案】4．A 5．D 6．A 7．B 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者从童年到成年对体育从疏远到热爱的过程。 4．词句猜测题。由文章第一段中“Small for my age, and more of a book-lover than a sports-lover, I had suffered that special humiliation of being picked last for various gym teams. (就我的年龄而言，我个子矮小，而且我更喜欢读书，而不是体育运动。我曾遭受过一种特别的humiliation，在各种体育运动队中，我都是最后一个被选中的)”可知，作者提到她曾经因为体型较小而经常成为体育团队中最后被挑选的一员，这让她感到羞愧、羞耻。humiliation在这里的意思是“羞愧，羞耻”。A. Shame羞愧，羞耻；B. Regret遗憾；C. Glory荣耀；D. Responsibility责任。故选A。 5．细节理解题。由文章第一段中“Credit goes to the example of my first coach, my father. He lifted weights every morning at home. He bought us all baseball gloves and hats, and in the warm months, we spent hours playing catch. When fall came, our backyard football games began with passing practice. (这要归功于我的第一个教练，我的父亲。他每天早上在家举重。他给我们每个人都买了棒球手套和帽子，在温暖的月份里，我们花几个小时玩接球游戏。秋天来临时，我们的后院足球比赛开始于传球练习)”可知，在作者看来，她父亲提供的训练导致了她在垒球投掷项目中的胜利。故选D。 6．推理判断题。由文章第二段中“As I attended college, my roommate and I even took up the habit of completing Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) exercises every day, a practice that continued into my marriage, when we had no spare money to use to join a gym. (当我上大学时，我和室友甚至养成了每天完成加拿大皇家空军（RCAF）训练的习惯，当我们没有多余的钱去参加健身房时，这种习惯一直持续到我结婚)”和最后一段中“So, though, it shocks some of our friends, that early foundation (基础) developed in adulthood into a sports and fitness focus, considered necessary even on vacation. (因此，尽管这让我们的一些朋友感到震惊，但这种早期的基础在成年后发展成为运动和健身的重点，甚至在度假时也被认为是必要的)”可知，成年后作者继续保持着对运动的热情。故选A。 7．推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是根据文章第一段中“The first time I realized that I had a love for sports competitions was during the Field Day in primary school. (我第一次意识到我对体育比赛的热爱是在小学的体育比赛日期间)”和最后一段中“So, though, it shocks some of our friends, that early foundation (基础) developed in adulthood into a sports and fitness focus, considered necessary even on vacation. (因此，尽管这让我们的一些朋友感到震惊，但这种早期的基础在成年后发展成为运动和健身的重点，甚至在度假时也被认为是必要的)”可知，文章主要讲述了作者从小热爱体育，并把这种对体育的热爱持续到了成年，作者写这篇文章的目的是表达她对运动和健身的热爱。故选B。 Passage 2 （24-25高一上·江苏盐城东台·期末） I first met Paul Newman in 1968, when George Roy Hill, the director of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, introduced us in New York City. When the studio didn’t want me for the film - it wanted somebody as well known as Paul — he stood up for me. I don’t know how many people would have done that; they would have listened to their agents or the studio powers. The friendship that grew out of the experience of making that film and The Sting four years later had its root in the fact that although there was an age difference, we both came from a tradition of theater and live TV. We were respectful of craft(技艺) and focused on digging into the characters we were going to play. Both of us had the qualities and virtues that are typical of American actors: humorous, aggressive, and making fun of each other — but always with an underlying affection. Those were also at the core(核心) of our relationship off the screen. We shared the belief that if you’re fortunate enough to have success, you should put something back — he with his Newman’s Own food and his Hole in the Wall camps for kids who are seriously ill, and me with Sundance and the institute and the festival. Paul and I didn’t see each other all that regularly, but sharing that brought us together. We supported each other financially and by showing up at events. I last saw him a few months ago. He’d been in and out of the hospital. He and I both knew what the deal was, and we didn’t talk about it. Ours was a relationship that didn’t need a lot of words. 12．Why was the studio unwilling to give the role to author at first? A．Paul Newman wanted it. B．The studio powers didn’t like his agent. C．He wasn’t famous enough. D．The director recommended someone else. 13．Why did Paul and the author have a lasting friendship? A．They were of the same age. B．They worked in the same theater. C．They were both good actors. D．They han similar charactertics. 14．What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 3 refer to? A．Their belief. B．Their care for children. C．Their success. D．Their support for each other. 15．What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A．To show his love of films. B．To remember a friend. C．To introduce a new movie. D．To share his acting experience. 【答案】12．C 13．D 14．A 15．B 【分析】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者与Paul Newman之间的深厚友情。当制片人不想让我参演电影时，Paul Newman站出来为我说话，两人因此而建立了深厚的友谊。在此后的很多年里，两人一直相互扶持，相互鼓励，因此两人的深厚友情维系了很多年。 12．推理判断题。根据第一段的“When the studio didn’t want me for the film— it wanted somebody as well known as Paul”制片人不想要我，他想要当时比较出名的演员Paul,因此，可知作者当时还不是很有名。故选C。 13．推理判断题。根据第二段的“Both of us had the qualities and virtues that are typical of American actors: humorous, aggressive, and making fun of each other— but always with an underlying affection. Those were also at the core （核心）of our relationship off the screen”可知，作者与Paul之间有着相似的性格特征，这让他们的友谊天长地久。故选D。 14．词义猜测题。根据“We shared the brief that if you’re fortunate enough to have success, you should put something back”，我们都有这个信仰：如果你有幸获得成功，你应该有所回馈。下文“he with his Newman’s Own food and his Hole in the Wall camps for kids who are seriously ill, and me with Sundance and the institute and the festival”是作者举的例子，因此“sharing that brought us together.”that指代前面提到的信仰。故选A。 15．主旨大意题。根据最后一段“I last saw him a few months ago. He’d been in  and out of the hospital.He and I both knew what the deal was,and we didn’t talk about it”可知Paul已经去世了，再结合前文“I first met Paul Newman in 1968”，可推断作者写文章是为了怀念这位朋友。故选B。 【点睛】在完成推理题时，要特别注意排除干扰项。 如小题1中的A项“Paul Newman wanted it.”属于“颠倒黑白”类干扰项，根据“When the studio didn’t want me for the film— it wanted somebody as well known as Paul”可知制片人不想要我，他想要当时比较出名的演员Paul，说明A项明显错误。 干扰项的设置方法除了“颠倒黑白”之外，通常还有以下几种方式： 1. 张冠李戴。命题者把文章作者的观点与他人的观点混淆起来，题干问的是作者的观点，选项中出现的却是他人的观点；或者题干问的是他人的观点，却把作者的观点放到选项中去。 2. 偷梁换柱。干扰项用了与原文相似的句型结构和大部分相似的词汇，却在不易引人注意的地方换了几个词汇，造成句意的改变。 3. 无中生有。干扰项往往是生活的基本常识和普遍接受的观点，但在原文中并无相关的信息支持点，这种选项的设置往往与问题的设问毫不相干。 4. 以偏概全。考生在做猜测文章中心思想、给文章添加标题或判断推理题时，往往会犯以偏概全的错误。产生这类错误的原因是考生受思维定势的影响或考虑不周，以局部代替整体。其具体表现为合理关联与不合理关联、准确概括与不准确概括之间的错位。不合理关联就是表层理解与深层理解相混淆。表层理解是对文章中客观事实的感知和记忆，往往是文章直接表述的结论；深层理解则是对文章中的客观事实进行逻辑推理、总结或概括后得出的结论。不准确概括是指不能准确地按题目要求概括或提取文中的表层或深层信息。 Passage 3 （24-25高一上·山东威海·期末） Hi there! My name is Erica. I’ve struggled with my weight since I was eight years old. At my peak, I weighed 320 pounds. Over the years I tried every diet you could think of. I tried personal trainers and fitness camps. The result was always the same — I’ d lose 30-50 pounds; then gain back 40 pounds. I tried C25K (Couch to 5K) so many times because my husband enjoyed running and I tried to like it as well. I hated it and couldn’t help but be reminded of my school days and collecting popsicle (冰棒) sticks for each circle (I was always last). More time went by and the only activity I could bring myself to do in public was Zumba. February 2017 was a game-changing time in my life. Something clicked after an embarrassing moment that involved burpees (立卧撑) in front of a group at my kids’ school event. The next day I asked my husband if he would join me in figuring out my health. (At this time I was 280 pounds.) After losing 15 pounds, I decided to give C25K one more shot (after more than a dozen failed times). In June 2017, I ran for five minutes without stopping. By the end of July I ran my first mile. Reaching the mile was huge in my world because I had built up a mile as if it were a marathon. By December 2017, I completed C25K successfully! A few months later I ran my first race, Texas Ragnar relay. After that, I completed my first half marathon. I caught the running bug and by July I hit a huge milestone — 100 pounds down! After the half marathon, my husband and I were determined to continue running. We kept training for no event in particular. We needed more support for what we were planning — a full marathon. 4．What might C25K be? A．A fitness course. B．A marathon event. C．A school game. D．A running program. 5．What made the author determined to restart running? A．Her husband’s advice. B．Her terrible overall health. C．Her Zumba class experience. D．Her burpee embarrassment. 6．Which of the following can replace the underlined phrase in paragraph 3? A．Fell in love with running. B．Joined a running club. C．Showed a gift for running. D．Found running partners. 7．Where can the text be read? A．A lecture for fund-raising. B．A report from a running club. C．A forum for running stories. D．A speech about running benefits. 【答案】4．D 5．D 6．A 7．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者Erica多年来为减肥尝试多种方法，经历多次失败，在一次尴尬事件后重新尝试跑步，最终成功减重并爱上跑步的故事。 4．推理判断题。根据第一段中“I tried C25K (Couch to 5K) so many times because my husband enjoyed running and I tried to like it as well. I hated it and couldn’t help but be reminded of my school days and collecting popsicle (冰棒) sticks for each circle  (I was always last). (我多次尝试C25K(从沙发到5公里)，因为我丈夫喜欢跑步，我也试图喜欢它。我讨厌它，不禁想起我的学生时代，每跑一圈就收集冰棒棍(我总是最后一名))”和第三段中“By December 2017, I completed C25K successfully!(到2017年12月，我成功完成了C25K!)”可知，C25K与跑步相关，且是一个有过程、可完成的项目。由此可推断C25K是一个跑步计划。故选D项。 5．细节理解题。根据第二段中“February 2017 was a game changing time in my life. Something clicked after an embarrassing moment that involved burpees (立卧撑) in front of a group at my kids’ school event. The next day I asked my husband if he would join me in figuring out my health. (At this time I was 280 pounds.) (2017年2月是我生命中改变游戏规则的时刻。在孩子们学校活动中，在一群人面前做立卧撑的尴尬时刻过后，我突然开窍了。第二天，我问我丈夫是否愿意和我一起解决我的健康问题。（这时我体重280磅）)”可知，是做立卧撑的尴尬经历让作者决定重新开始跑步。故选D项。 6．词句猜测题。根据划线短语所在句“After that, I completed my first half marathon. I caught the running bug and by July I hit a huge milestone — 100 pounds down!(在那之后，我完成了我的第一个半程马拉松。我caught the running bug，到7月我达到了一个巨大的里程碑——减重100磅!)”以及前文作者成功完成跑步相关项目，且之后继续坚持跑步可推知，“caught the running bug”意思是爱上了跑步，所以完成了减肥目标，与“Fell in love with running”同义。故选A项。 7．推理判断题。通读全文，结合第一段中“Hi there! My name is Erica. I’ve struggled with my weight since I was eight years old. At my peak, I weighed 320 pounds. Over the years I tried every diet you could think of.(大家好!我叫艾丽卡。我从八岁起就一直在与体重作斗争。在我的巅峰时期，我重达320磅。多年来，我尝试了你能想到的每一种饮食)”和后文内容可知，作者讲述了自己尝试各种减肥方法失败，但在因为一次尴尬经历后重新开始跑步，并逐步取得进步，完成跑步项目，成功减重100磅的故事。整篇文章围绕个人减重故事展开。这更适合在一个分享跑步故事的论坛上呈现。故选C项。 Passage 4 （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. 31．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. 32．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. 33．What is the attitude of some friends to her bucket list? A．Negative. B．Uninterested. C．Understanding. D．Unclear. 34．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】31．B 32．D 33．A 34．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。 31．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。 32．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。 33．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。 34．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。 / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 专题03 阅读理解（议论文、记叙文） 主题01 人与社会 Passage 1 （24-25学年高一上·广东东莞·期末） Even at 80, Mei Jingtian continues to watch over the Great Wall. Living in a village near the Great Wall, Mei has a deep love for the wall.

It vastly improved my life. I felt empty and frustrated at how much time I spent on my smartphone. So I spent the last five years steadily stripping my phone down to the basics. Social media was the first to go, then email, then news apps, and then even internet browsers. I long considered switching to a flip phone, but I always found an excuse to stay. Ultimately it was two of my students, 15- and 18-year-old sisters, who pushed me over the edge. Word spread around school that they had bought flip phones. If they were brave enough to take the plunge, I could, too. I spent $9 on a flip phone, plus $120 for a year of unlimited talk and text on a new number. For the last five months, I haven’t carried a smartphone with me, just my flip phone. This is the charming, romantic side of owning a flip phone: more conversations, more eye contact, more connection. The separation between work and life is much more noticeable. I don’t overthink work emails all day, since I no longer carry my work email in my pocket. I am living more like my creative, curious, phone-free children. This all sounds wonderful because it is wonderful. And now it’s confession time: I still have my smartphone. As it turns out, our addiction to smartphones is not just on an individual level. Intentionally or not, we have built structures that depend upon smartphone access, making it an essential feature of modern life. While most of the flip phone inconveniences are charming, some of them are so frustrating that they make you want to pull your hair out. Despite that, I will continue to use a flip phone as my primary phone so I don’t have to carry a smartphone with me. And I will continue to evangelize for it. I hope many others get flip phones. We will all be better for it. If nothing else, it’ll be nice to have more people to talk to in the grocery line. 12．What ultimately caused the author to switch to a flip phone? A．Disturbance of social media. B．Inspiration from his students. C．Time overspent on his smartphone. D．Negative feelings to smartphones. 13．What happened after the author used a flip phone? A．More interactions with people. B．Less work assignments. C．More time with his children. D．Low work effeciency. 14．What can be inferred about the author? A．Belief that flip phones are completely without inconveniences. B．Thought that smartphone addiction is solely an individual problem. C．Complete abandonment of smartphones for flip phones. D．Belief in widespread integration and importance of smartphones in modern society. 15．What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage? A．To recommend using a flip phone. B．To advocate living without a smartphone. C．To share his story of switching to a flip phone. D．To stress the disadvantages of having a smartphone. Passage 4 （24-25高一上·云南昆明·期末） AI kitchens, once a concept of science fiction, are now a reality across the globe. These advanced kitchens use robots to perform a variety of tasks such as flipping hamburgers, frying chicken, creating pizzas, preparing salads, and baking bread. The mixture of artificial intelligence in these kitchens allows for the invention of recipes based on the molecular compatibility (分子兼容性) of ingredients. The benefits of AI-driven kitchens extend beyond mere convenience. AI kitchens enable chefs to be more creative, as well as removing repetitive, boring tasks such as washing the dishes or standing for hours. Not having to cook means being able to spend more time with family or focus on more urgent tasks. For personalized eating, AI can provide countless special diets on demand. However, there are also risks to human well-being. Cooking can be relaxing and provides opportunities for many things: gratitude, communication, adventure, independence, confidence and more, all of which may be lost if no one needs to cook. Family relationships could be affected if parents and children are no longer working together in the kitchen — a suitable space to chat, in contrast to what can feel like an interrogation (盘问) at the dining table. Moreover, the food service industry faces challenges as many workers may struggle to acquire new skills for different jobs, despite the hope that technology will create more jobs than it eliminates (消除). In conclusion, the rise of AI kitchens shows both opportunities and challenges. While they increase the efficiency and creativity in the culinary world (烹饪界), they also raise questions about society and family. The balance between developing technological advancements and preserving the human elements of cooking can’t be ignored. 12．How do AI kitchens enhance the creativity of chefs? A．By providing more ingredients. B．By inventing special recipes. C．By reducing cooking time. D．By offering cooking classes. 13．What is a negative impact of AI kitchens on family relationships? A．Increased cooking time. B．More time spent together. C．Loss of cooking as an interactive activity. D．Improved communication. 14．What is a challenge faced by the food service industry? A．Increased job opportunities. B．More diverse menu options. C．Lower food prices. D．Workers’ struggling to acquire new skills. 15．What is the author’s attitude toward AI kitchens? A．Doubtful. B．Positive. C．Indifferent. D．Objective. 主题02 人与自然 Passage 1 （24-25高一上·广东茂名五中·期末） Isatou Ceesay was born in 1972 in a small village in Gambia Africa. As a teenager, Ceesay was forced to drop out of school because of poverty. She carried some goods with many girls like her to sell in the market to raise herself. At that time, the plastic bags, being strong and light, became popular in Gambia. The problem was that people did not reuse the bags and simply threw them behind their homes. Over time, the houses were surrounded by trash. Ceesay lived in such an environment for many years. She kept learning from the surrounding environment and planned to take action to change. In 1997, she started a recycling movement called One Plastic Bag in Gambia. She educated women in Gambia to recycle plastic waste into income for themselves. In the beginning, the movement had a mission to educate their village colleagues about the need to reuse garbage and recycle plastic waste, rather than letting the garbage increase behind their homes. Over time, the movement became big and able to support and provide income for women around. It was also able to greatly reduce plastic waste in Gambia. But the work of collecting trash turned to be taxing. During the rainy season, plastic waste became wet and difficult to take, and after that it still took patience to dry it before it could be processed. Ceesay said, “As a habit, people are used to pouring their garbage behind their houses, and because it is not visible, they forget it. But the bad effects again knock on your door very quickly-dirty air, various diseases and so on. Of course, if one man’s house is clean but his neighbor’s is not, then the man is also not healthy.” For 17 years, Ceesay has contributed to one of the most important problems about the plastic waste. In 2012, she got the TIAW Difference Maker Award in Washington, D．C．, United States. Her story was written into a book, which inspires many others to join or become makers of change in their own communities. 4．What can be learned about young Ceesay from Paragraph 1? A．She gave up the chance of going to school. B．She had many friends good at doing business. C．She sold strong and light plastic bags to support herself D．She lived in an environment heavily polluted by plastic waste. 5．What can we infer about Ceesay’s recycling movement? A．It aimed to make full use of natural resources to get rich. B．It was hard to carry on because of the shortage of workers. C．It benefited both people’s economic situation and the environment. D．It taught the villagers to replace plastic bags with handmade ones. 6．What does the underlined word “taxing” in Paragraph 3 mean? A．Challenging. B．Pleasant. C．Dangerous. D．Successful. 7．What does Ceesay mainly intend to say in Paragraph 4? A．Bad habits are hard to remove once formed. B．Garbage problems contribute greatly to climate change. C．Valuing the relationship between neighbors is important. D．Dealing with plastic waste is a shared responsibility in communities. Passage 2 （24-25高一上·湖北荆州中学·期末） Colin and Donna Craig-Brown were working in their New Zealand garden in late August. They were removing unwanted plants when they found something strange. After a little digging, Colin discovered there was a very large potato growing in his garden. And they never planted potatoes! “We couldn’t believe it, ” Donna said. “It was just huge.” The couple worked the potato out of the soil and brought it to a scale. It weighed almost 8 kilograms. The potato may be the largest ever recorded. In 2011, a large potato from Great Britain weighed just under 5 kilograms. The New Zealand potato, now named Doug, could break the record. The Craig-Browns asked Guinness (吉尼斯) to recognize their potato as the largest ever. They are waiting to hear from the organization. The potato has become famous in the town of Hamilton, Colin took Doug on walks round the neighborhood, “We put a hat on him. We put him on Facebook, taking him for a walk, giving him some sunshine,” Colin said. “It’s all a bit of fun.” Colin said he does not have any special gardening methods to pass on. Normally, he and his wife fertilize (施肥) their garden with waste from cows and dried grasses. The Craig-Browns were growing cucumbers (黄瓜) in that part of the garden, so they didn’t expect there was a potato. It may have been growing for two years or more. The potato is getting a little old now, two months after it was taken from the ground. Right now, it is in the freezer. 4．How did the couple feel when they found the potato? A．Satisfied. B．Surprised. C．Thankful. D．Hopeful. 5．What does “a scale” underlined in paragraph 2 refer to? A．A tool. B．A plant. C．An animal. D．A person. 6．Why has the potato become famous? A．Because it won’t go bad easily. B．Because it is an unexpected visitor. C．Because it may be two years old at least. D．Because it may break the Guinness record. 7．What could be the best title for the text? A．Two skilful gardeners. B．A potato on Facebook. C．The possible largest potato. D．A special gardening method. Passage 3 （24-25高一上·浙江杭州西湖·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.” 4．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. 5．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. 6．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. 7．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03 人与自我 Passage 1 （24-25高一上·广东茂名五中·期末） As a child, there was nothing I liked better than Sunday afternoons at my grandfather’s farm in western Pennsylvania. Surrounded by miles of stone walls, the house and field provided endless hours of fun for a city kid like me. Since my first visit to the farm, I had wanted more than anything to be allowed to climb the stone walls surrounding the houses. My parents would never agree because the walls were so old that some stones were loose and falling. However, my idea to climb across those walls grew so strong that finally I had all my courage to enter the living room, where the adults had gathered after Sunday dinner. “I want to climb the stone walls.” I said. “Heavens, no! You’ll hurt yourself!” The response was just as I’d expected. But before I left the room, I was stopped by my grandfather’s loud voice. “Now hold on just a minute.” I heard him say. “Let the boy climb the stone walls. He has to learn to do things for himself.” “Go,” he said to me, “and come and see me when you get back.” For the next two and a half hours I climbed those old walls —and had the time of my life. Later I met with my grandfather to tell him about my adventures. I’ll never forget what he said. “Fred,” he said, smiling, “you made this day a special day just by being yourself. Always remember, there’s only one person in this whole world like you, and I like you exactly as you are.” Many years have passed since then, and today I host the television program Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood, seen by millions of children throughout America. There have been changes over the years, but one thing remains the same: my message to children at the end of almost every visit. “There’s only one person in this whole world like you,” the kids will hear me say, “and people can like you exactly as you are.” 8．Why did the writer enjoy his visits to the farm? A．There were old stone houses. B．He was allowed to climb the walls. C．He missed his grandfather a lot. D．He could experience new fun there. 9．What can be inferred about the writer from the passage? A．He was backed up by his grandfather to follow his heart. B．He didn’t expect his parents’ disagreement on wall climbing. C．He became a TV program host with his grandfather’s help. D．He didn’t know the possible danger of the stone walls. 10．Which of the following can best describe the author’s grandfather? A．Open-minded. B．Adventurous. C．Kind-hearted. D．Dependable. 11．Which is probably the best title for the text? A．Unforgettable Childhood B．Just Be Yourself C．Do Whatever You Like D．Like grandfather, like grandson Passage 2 （24-25高一上·广东深圳外国语学校·期末） Snowboarding genius Su Yiming made a name for himself by winning China’s first Olympic gold in the men’s snowboard big air final at the Beijing Winter Olympics. By cleanly stomping back-to-back 1800 tricks, the teenager has landed the biggest prize so far in his young career. The notable achievement realized his childhood dream to reach the peak of the sport, which he began to learn at the age of 4. Now with two shinning medals hung around his neck, the 17-year-old described his superb Olympic debut (首次亮相) as an unbelievable experience that has made all his sacrifices worthwhile. “This feels so surreal that I’ve finally accomplished what I’ve dreamed of since I was little,” said Su. Over the past four years, Su has combined his talent with hard work to produce one of the swiftest rises to prominence (杰出) the sport has ever seen. When the Shougang Big Air venue hosted its first international event, Su was an unknown qualifier, who didn’t even make the final runs. Just over two years later, Su is the name on everyone’s lips at the venue’s Olympic debut, drawing the whole nation’s attention to the sport he loves. “The biggest motivation for me is my love for snowboarding,” Su said, when asked about the secret to his success. “In snowboarding, I feel like I can show my own style and creativity. Every time I ride my board, it’s always a joyful moment.

Passage 3 （24-25高一上·吉林合作体·期末） When the Uzbek girl Dilsora firstly met what seemed more like a Western-style dragon than a Chinese one, a beast to run away from her rather than a friend to be respected, she was at a loss about it. “Before college, I caught an interview on TV featuring an Uzbek student studying in China, she tweeted. However, I didn’t have the slightest idea that this language would be my future major in college. Then, when I started studying it at college, oh, jeez …pretty challenging! ” Nevertheless, as with a dragon story, there is a twist in the tail, and Dilsora’s despair gave way to nobler principles. “Give up? Nope! Instead, I pressed on with Chinese. ” she added with a giggle, “My mother also encouraged me all the way! ” Gradually, her feelings toward Chinese changed in the second year of college after Dilsora got a scholarship to study at Northeast Normal University in Changchun for a year, which proved a big turn on the pages of her fulfilling life. “The first time I came to China, amazingly engaging were the locals, by whom I was totally fascinated. In spite of myself, I fell in love with Chinese culture. ” Since then she has got master's and doctoral degrees, becoming a college teacher in Beijing, teaching Uzbek to Chinese students. In her spare time, being an all-nighter, she often loses herself in Chinese masterpieces. Two years later, on Instagram, she even set up a Chinese Reading Club to attract more to read. “Although I am ordinary, ” just as she, now the boss of the Reading Club, matter-of-factly put it, “since I’ve come this far, I am to come further. Harvesting the best outcome is my lasting dream. ” Those primary schoolers hearing the tale of Dilsora devoting so much to Chinese learning might be several times more likely to learn Chinese hard than those who didn’t, as Jimu news staff predicted. Besides, Dilsora has answered another calling: translating books by Chinese president into Uzbek. She said the leader’s foresight has impressed her greatly. 24．What does the underlined words “a twist in the tail” in paragraph 1 refer to? A．The turning point of a story. B．The turning movement of a dragon’s tail. C．The highest point of a story. D．The dancing movement of a dragon’s tail. 25．How did Dilsora feel when she started to study Chinese? A．Defeated but determined. B．Relieved but regretful. C．Excited but challenged. D．Exhausted but content. 26．What message does the story of Dilsora mainly convey? A．Mother’s love is endless. B．While in Roman, do as the Romans do. C．Nothing is difficult for those who will try. D．East or west, home is the best. 27．What might be talked about next following the last paragraph? A．Dilsora’s personal dream. B．Dilsora’s family background. C．Chinese leaders’ works. D．Chinese leaders’ hobbies. 主题01 人与社会 Passage 1 （24-25高一上·广东茂名五中·期末） Young soldiers, far away from home and missing their families, discover a bear cub. That’s how the story of Wojtek begins, back in 1942. He was alone in the mountains of Iran; nobody knows how he got there. When the exhausted Polish soldiers came upon Wojtek, they were immediately struck with emotions. They had been away from their loved ones for a long time. They needed something to pick their spirits up. So, they nursed the baby bear with milk from a bottle and named him Wojtek, which means: a warrior to whom fighting brings joy. Wojtek was officially adopted into the army. He traveled with the army to the Middle East, providing comradery and entertainment. He would wrestle with the men, chase after oranges they cast for him and follow them about like a puppy. He became their connection to humanity in a time when the light of peace seemed so far away. And, like a child, he was also playful. In the desert heat, he learned how to break into the showers and turn on the water. He could also be seen pulling trunks of empty gun shells with the men or standing at attention in formation. Wojtek was also the chief frightener of new members: He would literally bear hug them and hold them upside down for a good laugh. Getting through the hardship of war takes something extraordinary, something unexpectedly dangerous to preserve your mental state. That’s what Wojtek did for the men who had been so long in the fog and uncertainty of World War II. A playful bear became the symbol of strength and adaptability. Thankfully, wars ended but Wojtek was not forgotten. He was shipped with a group of men to a farm in Scotland, which was a fitting place to retire for a bear with so much military experience. Wojtek was a local celebrity. Stories of him kicking a soccer ball, attending local dances and parties, and enjoying jam and honey are still told today. And to everyone who knew him, Wojtek was the one that made a difficult time a little more bearable. 12．How did the Polish soldiers react after they found the bear? A．They were hit by the bear. B．They accepted him and fed him. C．They called Wojtek names. D．They brought joy to him like warriors. 13．What did Wojtek do in the army? A．He would run after and eat up the oranges thrown by the soldiers. B．He could pull branches with the soldiers to the army camp. C．He would stand and listen attentively for information. D．He would play tricks on those newly-joined soldiers. 14．What happened to Wojtek after World War II? A．He became famous and brought joy to the locals in a farm in Scotland. B．He settled down with the Polish army in a farm in Scotland. C．He enjoyed his life in another army in a farm in Scotland. D．He was shipped to his hometown with the help of the Polish soldiers. 15．What is the best title of the passage? A．Wojtek: The Wild Warrior in the Desert Storm B．Wojtek: From the Frontlines to a Hairy Friend C．A Lifelong Bear Friend with the Scottish Locals D．Bearing Witness: The Remarkable Tale of the Polish Army Passage 2 （24-25高一上·湖北武汉·期末） The snowstorm was supposed to hit on the evening. On the way home from work, I filled up my car with gas and picked up two pizzas because my kids, aged 10 and 15, wanted their mom to get some for dinner. Then the snow started, and came down so fast that it screamed. It was terrifying! I didn’t know where I was. It was now about 6 pm and dark. What would my black car look like in such a heavy snowstorm at night? Would it be invisible? Was I on someone’s farm? Or worse, was I on the wrong side of the road? I searched my location online and figured out that I was on a road called Bouvier Lane. It was now 6:30 pm. I posted this new information to my Facebook community group, asking anyone who knew someone nearby to rescue me. At 8 pm, my phone rang. It was the daughter of the farmer who owned the land beside the road where my car was stranded. She told me that her dad was coming to get me! About 45 minutes later, I saw a tall figure in a yellow raincoat walking toward me in the dark, carrying a flashlight (手电筒). It was André Bouvier, 80 years old, who’d walked half a mile through the snowstorm to find me, fighting the wind and snow each step of the way. When we reached his house a few minutes later, I got out of the car and burst into tears. All my fears disappeared and I was grateful. The experience let me approach challenges and surprises with a sense of calm. It reminded me to always reach out and help others — both friends and strangers. But best of all, it brought André into my life. We’re still in touch, and I know we'll be friends forever. 4．What can we learn about the author from the first two paragraphs? A．Her car was out of gas. B．Her car was on someone's farm. C．She couldn't see the road. D．She didn't expect the snowstorm. 5．What does the underlined word “stranded” in paragraph 3 mean? A．Driven.

D．By surfing the Internet. 7．What can be a suitable title for this text? A．A Snowstorm Night Rescue B．The Most Familiar Strangers C．The Life-saving Facebook Post D．An Encounter in the Snowstorm Passage 3 （24-25高一上·江苏锡山高级中学·期末） In the forest, trees often give each other space to reach for the sky,a habit that humans can learn from when it comes to setting personal boundaries. Next time you go for a walk in a forest or woodland take a moment to look above you. You might find that the crown(树冠）resembles a breathtaking umbrella with channel-like gaps between the tops of the trees. This phenomenon has been documented worldwide since the 1920s, and is called “crown shyness”. It happens when trees appear to give each other space. Even when trees grow close together, they show a mutual (相互的）respect and offer benefits. This is true in the case of “married” trees -where a tree intertwines（缠绕）with one resistant to disease, it shares the advantages of its friend. Maintaining healthy boundaries help trees to maintain good health, manage resources and protect the forest as a whole. When humans fail to respect boundaries, the emotional and physical resources of individuals,and the community can be affected. In this sense, a boundary is a conceptual border. It helps to establish where you end and other people begin. It means taking responsibility for only your own emotions and actions, not other people’s. You could think of your boundaries as a moat (护城河）around your castle, complete with a drawbridge that can be lowered or raised. As the gatekeeper of your castle, you decide who and what comes in and when. Of course, marking out boundaries takes time, and some people might be unhappy about any changes you make. Establishing a clear line between you and the rest of the world, however, is essential for building the self-worth and self-care needed to function at your best in relationships. 4．What is “crown shyness”? A．A crown with channel-like gaps. B．A forest with umbrella-shaped crowns. C．A behavior that trees give each other space. D．A phenomenon that trees compete for space. 5．How does the author develop Paragraph 3? A．By telling a story. B．By giving an example. C．By defining a concept. D．By making a comparison. 6．What is Paragraph 4 mainly about? A．The effects of ignoring boundaries. B．The meaning of taking responsibilities. C．The importance of setting personal boundaries. D．The methods of managing individual resources. 7．What is the author’s attitude to marking out a boundary? A．Favorable. B．Intolerant. C．Doubtful. D．Conservative. Passage 4 （24-25高一上·山东威海·期末） I don’t remember a time in my life when I didn’t have Laura. Our houses were down the road from each other. From my earliest memory, I would walk the path to hers, and she would walk it to mine. If we timed it right, we’d meet somewhere in the middle. We didn’t have cell phones back then, and I don’t remember calling each other much on the house phones either. We’d just show up. Most of my childhood memories are with Laura. We wrote secret notes and left them in trees to rediscover later and we’d name fishes at the pond. Occasionally we would disagree, and one of us would walk home, but we’d always show up again a few hours later. The beauty of childhood friendships, of course, is that we are completely ourselves in them. I didn’t need to dress a certain way for Laura; she didn’t need to agree on everything. If one of us was tired, we would say so. If one of us didn’t feel like talking for a while, we didn’t. It was all quite simple. As adults, friendships can be more complicated than they were in childhood. We have to consider how our words and behaviors affect others. If you are an over-thinker like me, an evening of socializing might end with a series of thoughts: Should I have said that? Did I take that the wrong way? Why didn’t I say that differently? Those thoughts, although necessary at times, can also be tiring. If I take a step back and learn from my friendship with Laura, I can remind myself that friendships are not about being perfect but about being real. There’s something magical about those childhood friendships. There is something special about them that is beyond just nostalgia (怀旧). Perhaps that something is the truthfulness of it. 8．What is the key to her friendship with Laura according to the author? A．Being themselves. B．Agreeing on everything. C．Sharing similar interests. D．Communicating regularly. 9．What does the author think of adult friendships? A．They are long-lasting. B．They can lead to overthinking. C．They are more realistic. D．They can bring new thoughts. 10．What does the author imply in the last paragraph? A．Childhood friendships are worth remembering. B．Being real plays an important role in friendships. C．Nostalgia adds to the magic of childhood friendships. D．Friendships are only meaningful when they are perfect. 11．What is the text mainly about? A．What we can learn from childhood friendships. B．Friendship matters for both children and adults. C．How childhood friendships develop into adult ones. D．The differences between childhood and adult friendships. Passage 5 （24-25高一上·浙江杭州西湖·期末） There is a fine line between a fake (赝品) and an exact copy of masterpieces. To an extent, it rests in the copyist’s intention. Are they trying to fool you and knowingly miss-sell their copy as an original, or are they openly presenting it as a replica (复制品). Adam Lowe — a trained artist in the copying business — has kept strictly to the well-intentioned camp. For a quarter of a century Lowe has spent his considerable energy producing high-quality reproductions of paintings and sculptures for museums and galleries around the world. He describes his digital scanning technique as being more close to drawing than to photography, as four cameras are suspended above a painting’s surface taking pictures from every perceived angle to create a single composite image. From this data a precise mould (模具) of the picture surface is made, with which the high-resolution digital photograph is then printed. The Prado Museum in Madrid appointed Lowe’s company, Factum Arte, to scan its collection of Black Paintings by Francisco de Goya. Lowe produced a high-resolution close-up crop of the Spanish artist’s famous The Dog, a framed copy of which you can buy in the museum’s shop for about 990 euros. He has taken the idea of copying even further through his Spanish Gallery where “nothing is real” — from the decorated ceiling to the paintings hanging on the walls. He declares it his “greatest achievement”. Lowe sees his creations as the 21st-century version of “cultural preservation” and thinks it ought to be funded by governments and universities. He has spoken to the mayor of Madrid about setting up a global arts center for cutting-edge digital technologies, but that ambition remains in the hands of the politicians. I went to visit Lowe at his art-making HQ, located on the edge of Madrid. Top-of-the-range digital printers, complex cameras and virtual reality headsets dotted the 3D-printed Greek sculptures. An army of computer scientists were busy with their works. As he sat down with a cool glass of early evening wine he seemed worn down by decades of skepticism. “People call us Factum, the factory of fakes,” he complained. “What we are doing is scientific recording to give accurate information about the artwork’s surface that allows you to understand it better and more deeply.” 12．What is the primary purpose of Adam Lowe’s work? A．To create exact fakes of famous artworks. B．To replace original artworks with replicas. C．To sell copies of masterpieces to private collectors. D．To produce high-quality reproductions for museums. 13．What’s special about Lowe’s technique? A．It uses a single camera to capture the entire image. B．It involves drawing each part of the painting by hand. C．It relies on computer-generated imageries to create the artwork. D．It uses multiple (多个的) cameras to take pictures from different angles. 14．How do people think of Lowe’s work? A．They think his work is overpriced. B．They consider his replicas to be fakes. C．They believe his technique is outdated. D．They doubt the accuracy of his reproductions. 15．What is the best title for the passage? A．The Innovative Technique of Adam Lowe B．The Debate over Fake Artworks in Museums C．The Challenges of Running a Copying Business D．Preserving Art Through High-Quality Reproductions 主题02 人与自然 Passage 1 （24-25高一上·湖北荆州中学·期末） Teenagers who travel around the world alone have been making headlines quite often. A young person alone in a dangerous situation attracts attention and supporters. Young sailors also attract various views. For example, Jessica Watson was asked by the government to call off her solo trip across the ocean, yet the Prime Minister (总理) called her “a hero for young Australians” when she returned.  It seems views are poles apart on the ability and independence of young people. Some experts tell us that teenage brains are likely to make wrong judgments. But such ideas often do not apply to specific individuals (个体) . Between the ages of 14 and 18, teenagers differ greatly in their abilities. The amount of independence that each is allowed should be determined not simply by their ages but by discussion with the related, responsible adults. Some teens are certainly inexperienced and make childish mistakes, but the ones who attempt dangerous journeys normally do so by winning the confidence of hard-headed and experienced adult supporters. But it’s also wrong to think that any 16-year-old can make a hit as Jessica Watson. Watson calls herself “a common girl who had a dream”. Her purpose is to encourage teenagers but this idea can have the opposite effect of making them feel not good enough because great achievements are beyond them. Should all teens have such wild dreams? Actually, individuals face different conditions that limit their dreams. Teenagers who travel around the world alone should not be judged by preconceived (先入为主的) views about young people. Nor should young “common” teenagers feel pressure to long for extraordinary personal goals. In fact, I believe the example of solo sailing overstresses what an individual can do. The teenage years are when most of us “common” people learn that we can achieve great things in cooperation with others. 8．Why is Jessica Watson mentioned in the first paragraph? A．To set a heroic example for teenagers. B．To point out the public’s interest in young people. C．To introduce different opinions on teenagers’ adventures. D．To show the Prime Minister disagreed with the government. 9．What can determine the amount of teenagers’ independence? A．Different journeys. B．Brain development. C．Communication with adults. D．Confidence in themselves. 10．What does Watson mean by calling herself “a common girl who had a dream”? A．She likes dangerous journeys. B．Teenagers can make success. C．She can accept she is common. D．Teenagers should go travelling. 11．What’s the author’s attitude towards teenagers’ act of travelling alone? A．Doubtful. B．Supportive. C．Uncaring. D．Uncertain. Passage 2 （24-25高一上·浙江杭州学军中学·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. 4．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. 5．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. 6．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. 7．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 Passage 1 （24-25高一上·广东湛江·期末） The first time I realized that I had a love for sports competitions was during the Field Day in primary school. Small for my age, and more of a book-lover than a sports-lover, I had suffered that special humiliation of being picked last for various gym teams. The Field Day, which focused on individual (个体的) skills, however, was different. In the Softball Throw event, I got my first taste of sporting victory. Credit goes to the example of my first coach, my father. He lifted weights every morning at home. He bought us all baseball gloves and hats, and in the warm months, we spent hours playing catch. When fall came, our backyard football games began with passing practice. Once I got to seventh grade and went to middle school, our entire student body was assigned to either the Red or the White team. Throughout the year, we competed against each other in various games and exercises for points. I eventually became president of The Committee of Games, speeding up my competitive fever. I also played on the field hockey team and the basketball team. And at home, playing tennis, skating, skiing and biking were simply normal things we did. As I attended college, my roommate and I even took up the habit of completing Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) exercises every day, a practice that continued into my marriage, when we had no spare money to use to join a gym. So, though, it shocks some of our friends, that early foundation (基础) developed in adulthood into a sports and fitness focus, considered necessary even on vacation. I still love reading and the arts, too. As far as I’m concerned, life is the richest with my feet in both worlds. 4．What does the underlined word “humiliation” mean in paragraph 1? A．Shame. B．Regret. C．Glory. D．Responsibility. 5．In the author’s view, what led to her victory in the Softball Throw event? A．Her confidence in her sports skills. B．The sports talent from her father. C．Her advanced sports gloves and hats. D．The training offered by her father. 6．What happened after the author stepped into adulthood? A．She continued her passion for sports. B．She preferred reading to working out. C．She regularly exercised on weekends. D．She joined Royal Canadian Air Force. 7．What is the author’s purpose of writing the article? A．To show her father’s guidance on sports. B．To express her love for sports and fitness. C．To stress the benefits of physical exercise. D．To share her childhood memories about sports. Passage 2 （24-25高一上·江苏盐城东台·期末） I first met Paul Newman in 1968, when George Roy Hill, the director of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, introduced us in New York City. When the studio didn’t want me for the film - it wanted somebody as well known as Paul — he stood up for me. I don’t know how many people would have done that; they would have listened to their agents or the studio powers. The friendship that grew out of the experience of making that film and The Sting four years later had its root in the fact that although there was an age difference, we both came from a tradition of theater and live TV. We were respectful of craft(技艺) and focused on digging into the characters we were going to play. Both of us had the qualities and virtues that are typical of American actors: humorous, aggressive, and making fun of each other — but always with an underlying affection. Those were also at the core(核心) of our relationship off the screen. We shared the belief that if you’re fortunate enough to have success, you should put something back — he with his Newman’s Own food and his Hole in the Wall camps for kids who are seriously ill, and me with Sundance and the institute and the festival. Paul and I didn’t see each other all that regularly, but sharing that brought us together. We supported each other financially and by showing up at events. I last saw him a few months ago. He’d been in and out of the hospital. He and I both knew what the deal was, and we didn’t talk about it. Ours was a relationship that didn’t need a lot of words. 12．Why was the studio unwilling to give the role to author at first? A．Paul Newman wanted it. B．The studio powers didn’t like his agent. C．He wasn’t famous enough. D．The director recommended someone else. 13．Why did Paul and the author have a lasting friendship? A．They were of the same age. B．They worked in the same theater. C．They were both good actors. D．They han similar charactertics. 14．What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 3 refer to? A．Their belief. B．Their care for children. C．Their success. D．Their support for each other. 15．What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A．To show his love of films. B．To remember a friend. C．To introduce a new movie. D．To share his acting experience. Passage 3 （24-25高一上·山东威海·期末） Hi there! My name is Erica. I’ve struggled with my weight since I was eight years old. At my peak, I weighed 320 pounds. Over the years I tried every diet you could think of. I tried personal trainers and fitness camps. The result was always the same — I’ d lose 30-50 pounds; then gain back 40 pounds. I tried C25K (Couch to 5K) so many times because my husband enjoyed running and I tried to like it as well. I hated it and couldn’t help but be reminded of my school days and collecting popsicle (冰棒) sticks for each circle (I was always last). More time went by and the only activity I could bring myself to do in public was Zumba. February 2017 was a game-changing time in my life. Something clicked after an embarrassing moment that involved burpees (立卧撑) in front of a group at my kids’ school event. The next day I asked my husband if he would join me in figuring out my health. (At this time I was 280 pounds.) After losing 15 pounds, I decided to give C25K one more shot (after more than a dozen failed times). In June 2017, I ran for five minutes without stopping. By the end of July I ran my first mile. Reaching the mile was huge in my world because I had built up a mile as if it were a marathon. By December 2017, I completed C25K successfully! A few months later I ran my first race, Texas Ragnar relay. After that, I completed my first half marathon. I caught the running bug and by July I hit a huge milestone — 100 pounds down! After the half marathon, my husband and I were determined to continue running. We kept training for no event in particular. We needed more support for what we were planning — a full marathon. 4．What might C25K be? A．A fitness course. B．A marathon event. C．A school game. D．A running program. 5．What made the author determined to restart running? A．Her husband’s advice. B．Her terrible overall health. C．Her Zumba class experience. D．Her burpee embarrassment. 6．Which of the following can replace the underlined phrase in paragraph 3? A．Fell in love with running. B．Joined a running club. C．Showed a gift for running. D．Found running partners. 7．Where can the text be read? A．A lecture for fund-raising. B．A report from a running club. C．A forum for running stories. D．A speech about running benefits. Passage 4 （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. 31．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. 32．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. 33．What is the attitude of some friends to her bucket list? A．Negative. B．Uninterested. C．Understanding. D．Unclear. 34．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. / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
