专题04 阅读理解（记叙文） 主题01 人与社会——历史、社会与文化 Passage 1 （24-25学年高一上·北京市通州区·期末） Brad closed the door slowly as Sue left home to visit her mother. Expecting a whole day to relax, he was thinking whether to read the newspaper or watch his favourite TV talk show on his first day off in months. “This will be like a walk in the park,” he’d told his wife. “I’ll look after the kids, and you can go visit your mom.” Things started well, but just after eight o’clock, his three little “good kids” — Mike, Randy, and Alex — came down the stairs in their night clothes and shouted “breakfast, daddy.” When food had not appeared within thirty seconds, Randy began using his spoon on Alex’s head as if it were a drum. Alex started to shout loudly in time to the beat. Mike chanted “Where’s my toast, where’s my toast” in the background. Brad realised his newspaper would have to wait for a few seconds. Life became worse after breakfast. Mike wore Randy’s underwear on his head. Randy locked himself in the bathroom, while Alex shouted again because he was going to wet his pants. Nobody could find clean socks, although they were before their very eyes. Someone named “Not Me” had spilled a whole glass of orange juice into the basket of clean clothes. Brad knew the talk show had already started. By ten o’clock, things were out of control. Alex was wondering why the fish in the jar refused his bread and butter. Mike was trying to show off his talent by decorating the kitchen wall with his colour pencils. Randy, thankfully, appeared to be reading quietly in the family room, but closer examination showed that he was eating apple jam straight from the bottle with his hands. Brad realised that the talk show was over and reading would be impossible. At exactly 11:17, Brad called the daycare centre. “I suddenly have to go into work and my wife’s away. Can I bring the boys over in a few minutes?” The answer was obviously “yes” because Brad was smiling. 1．When his wife left home, Brad expected to . A．enjoy his first day off work. B．go out for a walk in the park. C．read the newspaper to his children. D．watch the TV talk show with his children. 2．Which of the following did Randy do? A．Reading in a room. B．Drawing on the wall. C．Feeding the fish. D．Eating apple jam. 3．Why did Brad ask the daycare centre for help? A．Because he suddenly had to go to his office. B．Because he had to take his wife back home. C．Because he found it hard to manage his boys. D．Because he wanted to clean up his house. 【答案】1．A 2．D 3．C 【导语】本文是记叙文。本文讲述了三个孩子和一个爸爸过周末的情景。本以为周末会很轻松惬意，结果三个孩子却把他的计划彻底打乱了。只好求助日托所。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段“Brad closed the door slowly as Sue left home to visit her mother. Expecting a whole day to relax,he was thinking whether to read the newspaper or watch his favorite TV talk show on his first day off in months.(当苏离开家去看望母亲时，布拉德慢慢地关上了门。几个月来的第一天休息，他想要放松一整天，看看报纸或者看他最喜欢的电视脱口秀)”可以看出，妻子离家后，Brad期待着在第一个休假日里放松一下自己。故选A。 2．细节理解题。根据第四段“Randy, thankfully, appeared to be reading quietly in the family room, but closer examination showed that he was eating apple jam straight from the bottle with his hands.(谢天谢地，兰迪似乎在客厅里安静地看书，但仔细检查发现，他正在用手直接从瓶子里拿着苹果酱吃)”可知，兰迪在吃苹果酱。故选D。 3．推理判断题。结合孩子们的表现，且根据倒数第二段中“By ten o’clock, things were out of control.(到了十点钟，事情已经失去了控制)”和最后一句“Brad realized that the talk show was over and reading would be impossible.(布拉德意识到脱口秀结束了，读书也不可能了)”可推知，布拉德向日托中心求助是因为他发现很难管理他的孩子们。故选C。 Passage 2 （24-25学年高一上·北京市房山区·期末） Five years ago, a truly unforgettable event took place. My wife and I were celebrating our 40th wedding anniversary that year. To our delight, it was a splendid event, lovingly hosted by our sons just for us. Our dear, old friends gave us a wonderful surprise with their thoughtful gifts and heartfelt congratulations. Our gift to each other was a driving trip out west. After repairing our car, we drove from Ontario into Alberta, then southward into Glacier National Park in Montana, and continued to Yellowstone National Park. It was a cold spring day, and the Beartooth Highway had opened for the season just days before. Alongside the road, there was still a great amount of snow there: The scenery was so impressive that we made lots of stops to record with my camera. At the highest point of the highway, I stopped at a lookout to catch the amazing views, with my wife in the centre of my camera lens. There were not many cars on the road. Sometimes, cars with energetic young tourists passed by. And then we heard a motorcycle in the distance. The driver of the motorcycle, who wore dirty clothes, parked behind our cars. Approaching us, he spoke only a simple command (命令), “Give me your camera and get over there with your wife.” I must admit I felt nervous that he might take our things away where we just had some wonderful experiences. Surprisingly, he just took a picture of us, handed back my camera and rode off before we could offer our thanks. Unexpectedly, the photo he took is now one of the most valuable and prized of our trip. In that unexpected encounter, I absorbed a lesson in the most unlikely of place. We should never judge a man by the first impression. To the motorcyclist who may one day read this story and remember us: we wish to extend our deepest appreciation and a heartfelt “Thank you” for the kindness you showed us that day. 4．Why did the couple frequently stop on their trip? A．To clear the heavy snow on Beartooth Highway. B．To take pictures of the beautiful views. C．To make repairs on their car. D．To chat with young tourists. 5．The author’s nervousness was caused by ______. A．the fewer cars on the road B．the noise of the motorcycle C．the stranger’s amazing photo D．the motorcyclist’s unexpected command 6．Which of the following can best describe the driver of the motorcycle? A．Rich and generous. B．Creative and capable. C．Kind and straightforward. D．Careful and admirable. 7．What can we learn from the passage? A．First impression cannot always be trusted. B．Appreciate something before it’s gone. C．Patience is a cure of nervousness. D．Actions speak louder than words. 【答案】4．B 5．D 6．C 7．A 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述为了庆祝结婚四十周年，作者和妻子进行了一场旅行，在途中遇到一位骑摩托的人，他原本是想帮他们拍照，但是他耿直的态度和脏乱的外表让作者误以为他要抢劫，作者写这篇文章为了感谢他并且告诉我们不能以貌取人。 4．细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The scenery was so impressive that we made lots of stops to record with my camera.(风景太令人印象深刻了，我们停了很多地方用相机记录)”可知，景色如此令人印象深刻，以至于我们停下来很多次用我的相机记录下来。由此可知，这对夫妇在旅途中频繁停车是为了拍摄美丽的风景。故选B。 5．细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Approaching us, he spoke only a simple command (命令), ‘Give me your camera and get over there with your wife.’I must admit I felt nervous that he might take our things away where we just had some wonderful experiences.(走近我们时，他只说了一句简单的命令，“把你的相机给我，和你妻子一起去那里。”我必须承认，我感到很紧张，因为他可能会把我们的东西拿走，而我们刚刚有了一些美好的经历)”可知，陌生司机突然要给他们照相，作者感到紧张，害怕相机会被拿走。由此可知，作者的紧张是由摩托车手的意外命令引起的。故选D。 6．推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Approaching us, he spoke only a simple command, “Give me your camera and get over there with your wife.” I must admit I felt nervous that we might be robbed where we just created some beautiful memories. Surprisingly, he just took a picture of us, handed back my camera and rode off before we could offer our thanks.(走近我们时，他只说了一句简单的命令：“把你的相机给我，和你妻子一起过去。”我必须承认，我很紧张，因为我们可能会在创造美好回忆的地方被抢劫。令人惊讶的是，他仅仅给我们拍了一张照片，还没来得及表示感谢，就把我的相机交了回来，然后骑车离开了)”可知，这位骑摩托车的人和作者素不相识，可他却直接走过来让作者把相机给他，让作者误以为被抢劫，可结果证明他是好心，只是想要帮作者和妻子拍照。由此推知，这位骑摩托车的人是善良且耿直的。故选C项。 7．推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“In that unexpected encounter, I absorbed a lesson in the most unlikely of place. We should never judge a man by the first impression.(在那次意外的相遇中，我在最不可能的地方吸取了教训。我们决不能凭第一印象来判断一个人)”可知，在那次意外的遭遇中，我在最不可能的地方得到了一个教训。我们永远不能以第一印象来判断一个人。由此推知，我们可以从这篇文章中学到的是第一印象并不总是可靠的。故选A。 主题02 人与自我——生活与学习 Passage 1 （24-25学年高一上·北京市东城区·期末） Lightning flashed through the darkness over Sean’s bedroom skylight (天窗). Sean was shaken by a clap of thunder before he knew what was happening. The storm had moved directly over his two-story wooden house. Then he heard the smoke alarm (警报) beeping. Sean rushed down the stairs to check; he opened the door to the basement (地下室), and there was too much smoke to breathe. Sean ran back upstairs to call 911 from his bedroom. “I felt safe because the room had a separate outdoor stairway,” he explains. But the phone didn’t work, and when he tried to go down the outdoor stairway, he was blocked by a wall of fire. Sean realized he was trapped. Sean’s house was three kilometers off the main road and was so well hidden by trees that he knew calling for help would be fruitless. Up a hill nearby lived Sean’s neighbor, David. He was lying in bed when something like a smoke alarm struck his ears. He jumped out of bed, took his phone and flashlight, and headed down the hillside toward the noise. That was when he saw the rolling heavy smoke. David dialed 911, and the operator warned him not to enter the house. But David said, “There is no way I am going to listen to Sean scream and die in that fire.” “Anyone there?” David called out. Then he heard “Help! I’m trapped!” coming from the second-floor window. He entered the house, but soon had to run back to catch his breath. After one more attempt inside the house, David gave up and circled around back. The wind parted the smoke just enough for him to catch sight of Sean. But there was no way to get to him. He shone the flashlight into the woods and noticed a ladder. He took it over to the balcony (阳台) and pulled Sean down just as the second floor of the house fell off. Sean still feels grateful when he tells the story. “I was alone that night,” he says. “Then I heard the most beautiful sound in my life. It was David.” 8．What happened to Sean’s house? A．The bedroom was flooded. B．The skylight was blown down. C．The stairs were broken. D．The basement was on fire. 9．What made David suddenly realize there was something wrong? A．Heavy smoke. B．Cries for help. C．A distant alarm. D．A ringing phone. 10．Which of the following words can best describe David? A．Wise and selfless. B．Brave and professional. C．Loving and easy-going. D．Warm-hearted and skillful. 11．What can we learn from the passage? A．A house on a hill is safe from ill. B．A neighbor in need is a neighbor indeed. C．Better good locals near than relations far away. D．Wooden houses may weaken, while stone stands strong. 【答案】8．D 9．C 10．A 11．B 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了肖恩的房子地下室着火了，肖恩被困在里面，远处的大卫听到警报声后报警，并且去屋里救出了肖恩。 8．细节理解题。根据第二段“Sean rushed down the stairs to check; he opened the door to the basement (地下室), and there was too much smoke to breathe.(肖恩冲下楼梯去查看；他打开地下室的门，里面烟雾弥漫，让人无法呼吸)”可知，肖恩的房子地下室着火了。故选D。 9．细节理解题。根据第三段“Up a hill nearby lived Sean’s neighbor, David. He was lying in bed when something like a smoke alarm struck his ears.(肖恩的邻居大卫住在附近的一座山上。他正躺在床上，突然听到一阵类似烟雾报警器的声音)”可知，远处的警报使大卫突然意识到出事了。故选C。 10．推理判断题。根据倒数第三段“He entered the house, but soon had to run back to catch his breath. After one more attempt inside the house, David gave up and circled around back.(他进了屋子，但很快就得跑回来喘口气。在屋内又试了一次后，大卫放弃了，绕到屋后)”以及倒数第二段“The wind parted the smoke just enough for him to catch sight of Sean. But there was no way to get to him. He shone the flashlight into the woods and noticed a ladder. He took it over to the balcony (阳台) and pulled Sean down just as the second floor of the house fell off.(风吹散了烟雾，正好让他看见了肖恩。但是没有办法接近他。他把手电筒照进树林里，发现了一架梯子。他把它拿到阳台上，把肖恩拉了下来，就在这时，房子的第二层倒塌了)”可知，大卫救人时量力而行，并且不顾自身安全去救出了肖恩，说明大卫明智且无私。故选A。 11．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Sean still feels grateful when he tells the story. “I was alone that night,” he says. “Then I heard the most beautiful sound in my life. It was David.”(当肖恩讲述这个故事时，他仍然心存感激。“那天晚上只有我一个人，”他说。然后我听到了我一生中最美妙的声音。是大卫。”)”结合文章主要讲述了肖恩的房子地下室着火了，肖恩被困在里面，远处的大卫听到警报声后报警，并且救出了肖恩。可知，文章告诉我们邻居在困难时的帮助是非常珍贵的，患难见真情的道理。故选B。 Passage 2 （23-24学年高一上·北京市西城区·期末） Rudolph plays football for Florida State University. When he was visiting a middle school in Florida one Tuesday, he noticed sixth-grader Leo eating his lunch alone. Rudolph grabbed a couple pieces of pizza and joined Leo at his table. Leo has autism, a condition that can make it hard to make friends and communicate with other people. His mother always worries about him. Two days later, she saw a picture of Rudolph and Leo eating together and it made her so happy that she cried. Then, she shared the picture on the Internet, along with a message about how thankful she was. The story became popular very quickly. “We just had a great conversation. He started off telling me his name is Leo, telling me how much he loves Florida State. We went from there, ” said Rudolph. “It was really easy. He had a nice smile on his face. Just a really warm person.” Leo’s mother said that middle school can be hard, and she worries about how other kids will treat her son. “Sometimes I’m thankful for his autism. That may sound like a terrible thing to say, but in some ways I think — I hope — it shields him, ” she said. “He doesn’t seem to notice when people look at him when he flaps (拍打) his hands,” she said. “He doesn’t seem to notice that he doesn’t get invited to birthday parties. And he doesn’t seem to mind if he eats lunch alone.” The mother said the photo of Rudolph and Leo’s lunch date helped teach people about autism. “The picture speaks more than a thousand words. You can see how far away the rest of the students are, but you can see how engaged Rudolph is with Leo,” she added. “I just wanted to go say hi to the kid, because I saw him eating alone. I didn’t even know anybody took a photo of it.” Rudolph said he was glad that the story was helping others. Leo is excited that Rudolph signed his lunch box, and is enjoying all of the attention. “It’s been awesome. Everyone was so proud of me,” Leo said.

D．Chance favors the prepared mind. 【答案】12．D 13．A 14．C 15．C 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了鲁道夫在佛罗里达州立大学踢足球，某天他看到利奥独自吃饭，于是选择和他坐在一起。利奥患有自闭症，这种情况会使他很难交朋友，也很难与他人交流。而这一场景被拍摄下来，被利奥的母亲看到了，她十分感动和感激。 12．细节理解题。根据第一段“When he was visiting a middle school in Florida one Tuesday, he noticed sixth-grader Leo eating his lunch alone. Rudolph grabbed a couple pieces of pizza and joined Leo at his table.(一个星期二，当他参观佛罗里达州的一所中学时，他注意到六年级的里奥独自吃午饭。鲁道夫抓了几块披萨，和利奥一起坐在他的桌子旁)”可知，鲁道夫选择和利奥一起吃饭，因为他看到没有人和利奥坐在一起。故选D。 13．细节理解题。根据第二段“Two days later, she saw a picture of Rudolph and Leo eating together and it made her so happy that she cried. Then, she shared the picture on the Internet, along with a message about how thankful she was.(两天后，她看到一张鲁道夫和利奥一起吃饭的照片，她高兴得哭了。然后，她在网上分享了这张照片，并留言表示她非常感激)”可知，利奥的妈妈在网上分享了这张照片，以表达她的感激之情。故选A。 14．词句猜测题。根据划线句后文“That may sound like a terrible thing to say, but in some ways I think — I hope — it shields him”可知，利奥的母亲说自闭症听起来可怕，但是一定程度上保护了利奥，因为自闭症让利奥没有意识到他的社交挑战。故划线句意思是“自闭症使利奥没有意识到他的社交挑战”。故选C。 15．推理判断题。根据倒数第三段““I just wanted to go say hi to the kid, because I saw him eating alone. I didn’t even know anybody took a photo of it.” Rudolph said he was glad that the story was helping others.(“我只是想去和那个孩子打个招呼，因为我看到他一个人吃饭。我甚至不知道有人给它拍了照片。”鲁道夫说他很高兴这个故事能帮助到别人)”结合文章主要讲述了鲁道夫在佛罗里达州立大学踢足球，某天他看到利奥独自吃饭，于是选择和他坐在一起。利奥患有自闭症，这种情况会使他很难交朋友，也很难与他人交流。而这一场景被拍摄下来，被利奥的母亲看到了，她十分感动和感激。由此推知，一点善意会大有帮助。故选C。 Passage 3 （24-25学年高一上·北京市平谷区·期末） A 12-year-old girl’s playground vision has become a reality, thanks to the kindness and support of Clearfield City officials who welcomed her creativity and passion. Earlier this year, young Rosili noticed that a new playground at Thornock Park was being built, but the equipment seemed more suitable for older kids. Concerned that she wouldn’t be able to enjoy it with her younger sisters, Rosili took matters into her own hands. Armed with creativity and a passion for play, she designed her ideal playground with detailed descriptions and labels. With support from her mom, Rosili took her designs to Clearfield’s city hall, where she met with Eric Howes, the city’s community services director. Impressed by the effort and thought Rosili put into her drawings, Howes took time to review each of her plans. “She put a ton of time into that and a lot of thought, and she showed it from four different angles,” Howes explained. Although the Thornock Park playground was already in progress, the city had plans to build a new playground at Bicentennial Park, and Rosili’s designs were used in the project. Rosili was involved in every step of the process, working alongside city officials and playground equipment vendors to bring her dream to life. On Tuesday, Rosili’s dream playground was officially opened at Bicentennial Park. Rosili proudly cut the ribbon at the ceremony, creating a new play space for children of all ages to enjoy — a space that was imagined and brought to life by a young girl who believed she could make a difference. 16．Rosili designed a playground because ______. A．she didn’t enjoy Thornock Park B．it would meet younger kids’ need C．she aimed to show her creativity and passion D．Clearfield City officials encouraged her to do so 17．From Howes’ words, we can infer that Rosili’s drawings were probably ______. A．copied from others B．careless and simple C．detailed and well-thought-out D．too complicated to understand 18．What can we learn about the playground at Bicentennial Park? A．It was designed for adults. B．It was built by Rosili alone. C．It was donated by the school. D．It was designed by a young girl. 19．Which would be the best title for this passage? A．How to Design a Playground B．A New Playground at Thornock Park C．The Kindness of Clearfield City Officials D．A Girl’s Dream Playground Comes True 【答案】16．B 17．C 18．D 19．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了12岁女孩Rosili因担心新操场不适合妹妹们，自己设计了理想操场，其设计被用于新公园建设，梦想操场最终建成开放的故事。 16．细节理解题。根据第二段中“Earlier this year, young Rosili noticed that a new playground at Thornock Park was being built, but the equipment seemed more suitable for older kids. Concerned that she wouldn’t be able to enjoy it with her younger sisters, Rosili took matters into her own hands.(今年早些时候，年轻的Rosili注意到索诺克公园正在建造一个新的操场，但那里的设备似乎更适合大一点的孩子。由于担心自己不能和妹妹们一起享受这个操场，Rosili决定自己动手)”可知，Rosili设计操场是因为现有的操场设备更适合大孩子，她设计的操场能满足小孩子的需求。故选B项。 17．推理判断题。根据第三段中Howes的话“She put a ton of time into that and a lot of thought, and she showed it from four different angles(她在那上面花了很多时间，也想了很多，而且她从四个不同的角度展示了它)”可知，Rosili投入大量时间和思考，还从四个不同角度展示，由此可推断她的图纸很详细且经过深思熟虑。故选C项。 18．细节理解题。根据第四段中“Although the Thornock Park playground was already in progress, the city had plans to build a new playground at Bicentennial Park, and Rosili’s designs were used in the project.(虽然索诺克公园的操场已经在建设中，但该市计划在双世纪公园建造一个新的操场，Rosili的设计被用于该项目)”和最后一段中“Rosili proudly cut the ribbon at the ceremony, creating a new play space for children of all ages to enjoy — a space that was imagined and brought to life by a young girl who believed she could make a difference.(Rosili自豪地在仪式上剪彩，为所有年龄段的孩子们创造了一个新的玩耍空间——一个由一个相信自己可以改变世界的小女孩想象出来的空间)”可知，双世纪公园的操场是由一个年轻女孩Rosili设计的。故选D项。 19．主旨大意题。根据第一段“A 12 year old girl’s playground vision has become a reality, thanks to the kindness and support of Clearfield City officials who welcomed her creativity and passion.(由于克利尔菲尔德市官员的善意和支持，他们欣赏她的创造力和热情，一个12岁女孩对操场的设想变成了现实)”以及最后一段中“On Tuesday, Rosili’s dream playground was officially opened at Bicentennial Park.(周二，Rosili梦想中的操场在双世纪公园正式开放)”可知，文章主要围绕女孩Rosili梦想中的操场得以实现展开。D选项“A Girl’s Dream Playground Comes True(一个女孩梦想中的操场成真了)”能概括文章主要内容，适合做标题。故选D项。 主题03 人与社会——社会服务与人际沟通 Passage 1 （24-25学年高一上·北京市密云区·期末） Tom was born in Africa.

After attending university for just five months in Africa, Tom decided to move to Canada to attend university. But getting through college wasn’t all sunshine and rainbows. He had to work hard to make his way through. He paid his college education through many ways, such as scholarships, borrowing money from banks and having to work two different jobs at the same time.

When the teacher introduced the course, I realized my mistake. The credits I earned from the course wouldn’t count toward my major. By the end of the session, however, I decided that I had to be a part of the course. Perhaps, as a lifelong reader, I was eager to understand how stories worked their magic. But taking the class would be impossible: I wasn’t even on the waitlist. That’s when the teacher asked for a volunteer to submit the first workshop story. Silence blanketed the room. No one risked eye contact. Whoever volunteered would have to write a whole story in a week. Perhaps they, like me, had never written one before. Seizing my chance, I raised my hand and asked, “If I go first, will you give me a spot in the class?” He said he would. So, instead of keeping my head down and avoiding eye contact, I did the opposite. Years later, I’d completed a degree in creative writing and was working on a novel when a literary agent (经纪人) asked to read the first 50 pages of my draft. But I wasn’t comfortable showing her anything; the novel was far from done. Throughout graduate school, I’d been advised many times not to contact agents until I have a complete draft. In the meanwhile, I knew the beginning of my story was attractive and that the agent might not remember me after a year. So, once again, instead of keeping my head down and avoiding eye contact, I did the opposite. I sent her the first three chapters. A month later, she signed me on the strength of those chapters alone. She has since seen me through the publication of three novels. Determination, focus, perseverance—the qualities that I consider crucial in getting me into Stanford no doubt helped me become the novelist I am today. And yet if I’d trained my gaze only on the path ahead, I would have missed so many happy accidents, so many beautiful opportunities to look up, raise my hand, and say yes. 24．What made the author finally decide to take the course? A．The popularity of the course. B．Her curiosity about story writing. C．Her confidence in her writing skills.

At least, it should be able to. That wasn’t the case with Msituni, a giraffe born at the Safari Park. The very day Msituni was born, her front legs were bending improperly, making it difficult for her to stand and walk. Dr. Kinney, the wildlife care specialist at the park and his team recognized the problem and reacted quickly. They realized Msituni would need medical treatment. First of all, they decided to bottle raise Msituni because her injuries prevented her from staying with her mom. The care team aimed to reduce long-term joint damage, and do their best to ensure Msituni has a long, healthy life. With the information from the detailed 3D imaging of Msituni’s legs, the care team determined that specialized orthotic braces(矫形器)should be able to fix the position of Msituni’s legs. However, her size made finding supports for her legs very challenging. The solution came in partnership with Hanger Clinic, a nationwide provider of orthotic braces. While the company focuses on care for humans, the company’s experts asked Safari Park wildlife care staff for advice. Together, they made a pair of orthotic braces for the calf. They wanted to enable Msituni to lie down, stand, walk, and run like a healthy giraffe. Finally, the treatments were a success. After about two months, with Msituni’s legs correctly positioned, caregivers were able to remove her leg braces. Today, Msituni can be found playing with the rest of giraffes in the Safari Park. “It was worthwhile to use problem-solving skills to help wildlife,” said Dr. Kinney. “To address the challenges that wildlife faces, we need to work together.” 28．What was Msituni’s problem? A．She got injured in the park. B．She had trouble with her legs. C．She found it difficult to breathe. D．She was left alone by her mother. 29．To help Msituni, Dr. Kinney and his group ______. A．developed a special medicine B．were teamed up with other experts C．trained Msituni how to live in the wild D．guided the healthy giraffes to accept Msituni 30．What does the underlined word “address” in the last paragraph mean? A．Deal with. B．Come across. C．Concentrate on. D．Be responsible for. 【答案】28．B 29．B 30．A 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。讲述了天生腿部畸形的小长颈鹿在Mirzaian的救治下康复的故事。 28．细节理解题。根据第一段的“The very day Msituni was born, her front legs were bending improperly, making it difficult for her to stand and walk.(就在Msituni出生的那天，她的前腿弯曲得不正常，这使她很难站立和行走。)”可知，Msituni腿有问题。故选B。 29．推理判断题。根据第四段的“While the company focuses on care for humans, the company’s experts asked Safari Park wildlife care staff for advice. Together, they made a pair of orthotic braces for the calf. They wanted to enable Msituni to lie down, stand, walk, and run like a health giraffe.( 虽然该公司专注于照顾人类，但该公司的专家向野生动物园的野生动物护理人员征求意见。他们一起为小腿做了一副矫正支架。他们想让米西图尼能像健康的长颈鹿一样躺、站、走、跑。)”可知，为了帮助Msituni，Kinney博士和他的团队与其他专家合作，为它的小腿做了一副矫正支架。故选B。 30．词义猜测题。根据前文的“It was worthwhile to use problem-solving skills to help wildlife(利用解决问题的技能来帮助野生动物是值得的)”和下文“we need to work together(我们需要共同合作)”可推断，帮助野生动物解决问题是值得的，我们需要共同合作解决野生动物面临的困难，因此推断划线词与deal with意思一致。故选A。 主题01 人与社会——历史、社会与文化 Passage 1 （24-25学年高一上·北京市西城区·期末） “See you at Open House tonight, Amy,” Evelyn shouted from the school bus window. “Don’t forget to ask your mom if I can come over tomorrow!” “OK!” I called back. I wished I could feel excited about my first Open House at my new school, but I was worried. What would other kids say when they found out my parents can’t hear? And I wanted Evelyn to visit but then she’d see how different my house was. My parents use a video phone so they can use sign language to communicate with callers. We also have a light on the wall that flashes when the phone or doorbell rings. Would Evelyn think my house was strange? That night, when Dad drove us to the brightly lit school, it looked different. As we walked down the hallway to my classroom, we stopped in front of the bulletin board in the hall. “Look at Amy’s picture!” Mom said, too loud. She does that when she’s excited, because she can’t hear herself. Some older kids turned to stare (盯视) at us and I wanted to hide. I led my family into my classroom and looked around. Other kids and parents were there, but I didn’t see Evelyn. Ms. Jennings walked over to us. I introduced my teacher to my family and let her know about my parents’ deafness. “Oh,” she said. “Well, how do you say ‘Welcome!’ in sign language?” “Like this.” I swept my open right hand in toward my body, palm (手掌) up. She repeated the gesture. “Thank you,” Mom said, smiling. “It’s nice to meet you.” Ms. Jennings looked surprised. “You speak very well,” she said. Mom nodded. “I lost my hearing as a child, after I’d learned to talk. Amy’s father was born deaf. He can talk, too, but he’s shy about his voice.” Dad smiled in agreement. Some of my classmates were watching us and whispering. Then I noticed Evelyn and her mom standing by the door. “I sit over there,” I told my family and quickly walked toward my desk. “Hi, Amy,” Evelyn said suddenly. “I didn’t know your parents are deaf.” “Yeah.” I couldn’t think of anything else to say. “And you can talk to them with your hands? That’s so cool.” “You think so?” I said with relief. Evelyn nodded. “It’s like a secret code. Would you teach me some words sometime?” I smiled. “Of course. If you come over tomorrow, we can practice some sign language then.” 31．How is Amy’s house different? A．It has deaf-friendly devices. B．It is brightly lit. C．It is interestingly decorated. D．It has strange furniture. 32．At the Open House, Amy wanted to hide because ________. A．she couldn’t find Evelyn B．some older kids were unkind C．her picture was on the board for all to see D．her mom’s loud voice attracted unwanted attention 33．What made Amy feel relieved? A．Evelyn finally promised to visit her house. B．Her teacher learned sign language successfully. C．Evelyn didn’t mind she was from a special family. D．Her classmates changed their attitude toward her mom. 【答案】31．A 32．D 33．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了Amy带着听力障碍的父母参加学校开放日的故事，她担心同学会对她家不同的生活方式产生看法，但最后发现好友Evelyn对她家人的特殊情况很理解和接受。 31．细节理解题。根据文章第三段中“And I wanted Evelyn to visit but then she’d see how different my house was.My parents use a video phone so they can use sign language to communicate with callers. We also have a light on the wall that flashes when the phone or doorbell rings. (我想让伊芙琳来看我，但她会看到我家有多不一样。我的父母使用视频电话，这样他们可以用手语和来电者沟通。我们还有一个灯，当电话或门铃响时会闪烁)。”可知，Amy的家有为聋人设计的设备，故选A。 32．细节理解题。根据文章第四段中““Look at Amy’s picture!” Mom said, too loud. She does that when she’s excited, because she can’t hear herself. Some older kids turned to stare (盯视) at us and I wanted to hide. (“看Amy的照片！”妈妈说得太大声了。她兴奋的时候会这样，因为她听不到自己的声音。一些大孩子转头盯着我们看，我想躲起来。)可知，Amy的母亲大声说话吸引了不必要的注意，故选D。 33．细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段、三段和四段““And you can talk to them with your hands? That’s so cool.”  “You think so?” I said with relief.  Evelyn nodded. “It’s like a secret code. Would you teach me some words sometime?” (“你能用手和他们说话？太酷了”“你这样认为吗？”我松了一口气说。Evelyn点了点头。“这就像一种秘密代码。有时间你教我一些词好吗？”)可知，Evelyn不介意Amy来自一个特殊的家庭，这让Amy感到松了一口气，故选C。 Passage 2 （23-24学年高一上·北京市朝阳区·期末） Hansel Enmanuel, a 19-year-old basketball player, has drawn attention after videos spread quickly showing his awesome skills, like making 3-point shots and dunking (灌篮) with ease. All with just his right arm. It looks almost effortless when he plays. However, it’s not. It never has been. Enmanuel was 6 when he was climbing a wall. It fell over him, bricks and blocks on his left arm. He was rushed to the hospital, but the doctor couldn’t save his arm and it was cut off several inches below the shoulder. It was a dark time for Enmanuel and his family. Slowly, things got better for the little boy. He still remembers the first time he tied his shoes. Just 7, Enmanuel was waiting for his mother to do it for him, but she was busy cooking. “I was like, never mind, I’m going to start,” he said in a recent interview. “I told myself let me try. I was trying. Then I made it.” “So I was excited, excited like crazy,” he added. Small things became huge victories. Months after that, Enmanuel tried basketball, too. But it’s not an easy path. His missing arm left him lacking balance. Every time he tried to run, he’d crash to the ground, falling on debris (碎片) covered across the courts he played on. These falls left him with numerous scars (疤痕). In the interview, Enmanuel pointed to the scar after scar down the length of the leg, reminders of a hard time that has brought him to excellence in basketball skills. Enmanuel first dunked at 14, and it wasn’t long before his popularity grew with the views on his videos. But it wasn’t the highlight videos that interested his coach, Corey Gipson. He liked Enmanuel’s attitude and the way he carried himself on the court. “Hansel is a very tough person,” Gipson said. “When you see him on the floor, you just see an unstoppable force that doesn’t take anything for granted (理所应当).” “I’m not special,” Enmanuel said. “I’m not different than nobody. The only difference is that I’ve got one arm, but that’s not different.” 34．What first encouraged Enmanuel to recover from the accident? A．The help from his doctor. B．Managing to tie his shoes. C．Videos on his shots and dunking. D．The attention from his mother. 35．Enmanuel pointed to scars on his leg mainly to show his ______. A．success B．health C．efforts D．competence 36．What interested Enmanuel’s coach most? A．His response to difficulties. B．His great sense of balance. C．His confidence on the court. D．His popularity on social media. 37．What does the story intend to tell us? A．He who laughs last laughs best. B．Don’t judge a book by its cover. C．Nothing is impossible to a willing heart. D．You can make a difference by being different. 【答案】34．B 35．C 36．A 37．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了19岁的独臂男孩Hansel Enmanuel用右臂展示了他出色的三分球投篮和轻松灌篮的技术，这使他在网上迅速走红。他的成就是他在经过无数次摔倒后仍然努力练球所换来的。这个故事告诉我们：有志者事竟成。 34．细节理解题。根据第三段中“He still remembers the first time he tied his shoes. Just 7, Enmanuel was waiting for his mother to do it for him, but she was busy cooking. “I was like, never mind, I’m going to start,” he said in a recent interview. “I told myself let me try. I was trying. Then I made it.” “So I was excited, excited like crazy,” he added.(他还记得第一次系鞋带的情景。伊曼纽尔才 7 岁，正在等他的母亲为他做饭，但她正忙着做饭。“我当时想，没关系，我要开始了，”他在最近的一次采访中说道。“我告诉自己让我尝试一下。我正在尝试。然后我就成功了。”“所以我很兴奋，兴奋得发疯，”他补充道)”可知，Enmanuel第一次设法系好了鞋带，这是第一次促使他从事故中恢复过来，故选B。 35．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“Every time he tried to run, he’d crash to the ground, falling on debris (碎片) covered across the courts he played on. These falls left him with numerous scars (疤痕). In the interview, Enmanuel pointed to the scar after scar down the length of the leg, reminders of a hard time that has brought him to excellence in basketball skills.(每次他试图跑起来时，他都会摔倒在地，落在他所打球的球场上覆盖的碎片上。这些跌倒给他留下了无数疤痕。在采访中，恩曼纽尔指着腿上一道又一道的伤疤，让人想起正是这段艰难的时光让他取得了卓越的篮球技术。)”可知，Enmanuel尝试打篮球时很努力，一次次摔倒给他留下了很多疤痕。由此推知，Enmanuel指着自己腿上的伤疤主要是为了表明他为打篮球所付出的努力。故选C。 36．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“But it wasn’t the highlight videos that interested his coach, Corey Gipson. He liked Enmanuel’s attitude and the way he carried himself on the court. “Hansel is a very tough person,” Gipson said. “When you see him on the floor, you just see an unstoppable force that doesn’t take anything for granted (理所应当).”(但令他的教练科里·吉普森感兴趣的并不是精彩视频。他喜欢恩曼纽尔的态度和他在球场上的表现。“汉塞尔是一个非常坚强的人，”吉普森说。“当你看到他在场上时，你就会看到一种不可阻挡的力量，不会认为任何事情都是理所当然的。”)”可知，教练喜欢Enmanuel的态度和在球场上的表现，即他很坚强，有一种不可阻挡的力量来战胜困难。由此推知，令教练对Enmanuel感兴趣的是他应对困难的反应。故选A。 37．推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“Hansel Enmanuel, a 19-year-old basketball player, has drawn attention after videos spread quickly showing his awesome skills, like making 3-point shots and dunking (灌篮) with ease. All with just his right arm. It looks almost effortless when he plays. However, it’s not. It never has been.(9岁的篮球运动员汉塞尔·恩曼纽尔(Hansel Enmanuel)在视频迅速传播后引起了人们的关注，他展示了他出色的三分球投篮和轻松灌篮的技术。全部只用他的右臂。当他演奏时，看起来几乎毫不费力。然而，事实并非如此。而且从来不是这么轻松)”和倒数第二段中“But it’s not an easy path. His missing arm left him lacking balance. Every time he tried to run, he’d crash to the ground, falling on debris (碎片) covered across the courts he played on. These falls left him with numerous scars (疤痕). In the interview, Enmanuel pointed to the scar after scar down the length of the leg, reminders of a hard time that has brought him to excellence in basketball skills.(但这并不是一条容易的路。他失去的手臂使他失去平衡。每次他试图逃跑时，他都会摔倒在地，落在他所打球的球场上覆盖的碎片上。这些跌倒给他留下了无数疤痕。在采访中，恩曼纽尔指着腿上一道又一道的伤疤，让人想起正是这段艰难的时光让他取得了卓越的篮球技术)”可知，19岁的独臂男孩Hansel Enmanuel用右臂展示了他出色的三分球投篮和轻松灌篮的技术，这使他在网上迅速走红。事实上，这并不像视频中看起来这么轻松，这是他在经过无数次摔倒仍然努力练球所换来的成就。由此推知，这个故事告诉我们只要想做就能成功，即有志者事竟成。故选C。 主题02 人与社会——文学、艺术与体育 Passage 1 （24-25学年高一上·北京市顺义区·期末） Some days ago in a PE class, I found the Paralympic Games of London very inspiring. Although the athletes were disabled, they tried their best to achieve the goals. I find it important to let people realize the spirits of the Paralympic Games and I think that writing a post about it can help people learn a lot about it. I am going to use the example of Jessica Tatiana Long, a woman I admire very much, to introduce the spirits of the Paralympic Games. Jessica was born in Russia in February, 1992, and then at the age of 13 months she was adopted (收养) by American people. Unfortunately, because of a serious disease, her two legs were partly cut off at only 18 months and she had to learn how to walk with walking sticks. In an interview, she said that in her childhood, she wasn’t confident and felt really bad about her physical disability. But after some years she realized she had great abilities in sports. At the beginning, she was part of a gymnastic club, but the sport was extremely painful for her. At 10 years old, she began swimming and with the support of her family, at the age of 12, she joined the Paralympics in 2004. She finally won three medals in swimming and became the youngest athlete to win at Paralympics. This marked the beginning of her amazing career in the sport. I believe after reading her stories, you will feel inspired. She won 29 medals, including 16 gold medals, and even wrote her autobiography (自传): Unsinkable. Back to the Paralympics, the first Paralympics took place in Stoke Mandeville, a small village in England on July 29th, 1948. Since then, the Paralympics has improved and developed. In my opinion, without such events, it’s hard to know so many amazing disabled athletes. Moreover, it helps many disabled people feel better about themselves and shows that physical disabilities don’t have to hold them back from achieving greatness. 38．What do we know about Jessica? A．She was born in America. B．She had an operation on her legs. C．She was raised by Russian people. D．She was healthy at the age of 19 months. 39．How did Jessica feel upon her disability in her childhood? A．Down. B．Angry. C．Moved. D．Surprised. 40．From the passage, we know that ______. A．Jessica wrote a book about her own special story B．Jessica began swimming before joining in a gymnastic club C．Jessica’s friends noticed that she had great abilities in sports D．Jessica became the second youngest athlete to win at the Paralympics 41．The writer is most likely to agree that ______. A．all disabled people can join the Paralympics B．the Paralympics has kept the same since it started C．you cannot have big achievements if you’ re adopted D．the Paralympics gives us a chance to discover many great disabled athletes 42．Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A．Once Bitten, Twice Shy B．The History of the Paralympics C．Actions Speak Louder than Words D．Disabled Athletes in the World of Sport 【答案】38．B 39．A 40．A 41．D 42．D 【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。在文章中，作者以一位女残疾运动员Jessica Tatiana Long为例，描述了她从小时候的不自信，到在残奥会上赢得了多枚奖牌的经历，来宣传残奥会精神，表达了残奥会帮助了许多残疾人更好地了解自己、发掘自己的能力，是令人鼓舞人心的赛事的观点。 38．细节理解题。根据第二段“Unfortunately, because of a serious disease, her two legs were partly cut off at only 18 months and she had to learn how to walk with walking sticks.(不幸的是，由于一场严重的疾病，她的两条腿在18个月大的时候就被部分切断了，她不得不学习如何用拐杖走路)”可知，Jessica的双腿做过手术。故选B。 39．细节理解题。根据第三段“In an interview, she said that in her childhood, she wasn’t confident and felt really bad about her physical disability.(在一次采访中，她说在她的童年，她不自信，对自己的身体残疾感到非常难过)”可知，Jessica在童年时，对自己的残疾感到悲伤、难过。故选A。 40．细节理解题。根据第四段“She won 29 medals, including 16 gold medals, and even wrote her autobiography (自传): Unsinkable.(她赢得了29枚奖牌，其中包括16枚金牌，甚至还写了她的自传：Unsinkable)”可知，Jessica写了一本自传，讲述了她自己的特殊故事。故选A。 41．推理判断题。根据最后一段“In my opinion, without such events, it’s hard to know so many amazing disabled athletes.(在我看来，没有这样的赛事，很难认识这么多了不起的残疾运动员)”可推知，作者最可能认为残奥会让我们有机会发现许多伟大的残疾运动员。故选D。 42．主旨大意题。根据第一段“Although the athletes were disabled, they tried their best to achieve the goals.(虽然运动员是残疾人，但他们尽了最大的努力来实现目标)”、第二段“I am going to use the example of Jessica Tatiana Long, a woman I admire very much, to introduce the spirits of the Paralympic Games.(我将以我非常钦佩的Jessica Tatiana Long为例，介绍残奥会的精神。)”、最后一段“In my opinion, without such events, it’s hard to know so many amazing disabled athletes. (在我看来，没有这样的赛事，很难认识这么多了不起的残疾运动员)”和全文内容可知，文章以Jessica为例，讲述了残奥会让人们认识了许多了不起的残疾运动员。故选D。 Passage 2 （24-25学年高一上·北京市海淀区·期末） I did not expect so many people to be here. Over five hundred were seated in rows that extended into the open gymnasium beyond. I could hear the occasional sound of a cough or a child trying to stay quiet, but it all sounded muffled as if I was under water. Every night, Ethan and I practiced hard until my voice got rough (沙哑的) and his fingers hurt. We were invited to perform at a national music concert. It was a rare opportunity for us to shine, so we wanted to give it our all. Every run-through we did, we’d fix a few mistakes but always find a few new ones in exchange. It was like two steps forward and one step back. Even though we sometimes disagreed, we stayed focused on our goal. As we walked up onto the stage, I could feel a thousand sharp eyes on me. The air was perfectly still. The lights felt hot on my face. When the music began, I froze. My mouth opened, but no sound came out. Ethan slowed the piano down for a beat as he looked over at me. He knew something was wrong, but he continued onward as he had been trained to do. I searched desperately for a solution, my eyes moving quickly around the darkened hall. I felt as if time had stopped. Then, I locked eyes with Mom. Even at a distance, I could sense her gently mouthing the words to me as she had always done whenever I’d forget my lyrics, “Elise, you can do it.” I took a deep breath and my voice finally came out, strong and clear. Ethan and I rode through the rest of the song until the end, our voices and the piano fitting together in harmony. A moment of reflective silence. Then, the entire audience rose to their feet in applause. A month later, I felt like I was under water again. A soft announcer called out, “Fantaisie Impromptu, Op. 66.” I walked onto the stage. As I looked up, I saw my mom. She watched me patiently and gave me a reassuring nod. Gradually, the pressure on my chest melted away and I could breathe once more. I had done this before, and I would do it again. 43．Elise was nervous because ______. A．she didn’t practice enough with Ethan B．she was worrying about her rough voice C．she didn’t share the same goal with Ethan D．she had to face a large audience in the hall 44．When Ethan started to play the piano, Elise ______. A．lost herself in the beautiful music B．tried to sing but couldn’t make a sound C．felt something wrong with the stage lights D．counted the beats of the song alongside him 45．What does the story mainly tell us? A．Teamwork turns the impossible into reality. B．Continuous hard work will eventually pay off. C．Support from loved ones lights the path to confidence. D．True strength comes from overcoming repeated failures. 【答案】43．D 44．B 45．C 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者去民族音乐会上表演，因为紧张发不出声音，多亏了母亲的支持让作者完成了演出。 43．细节理解题。根据第三段“As we walked up onto the stage, I could feel a thousand sharp eyes on me. The air was perfectly still. The lights felt hot on my face.(当我们走上舞台时，我能感觉到有一千双锐利的眼睛盯着我)”可知，伊莉斯很紧张，因为她要面对大厅里的一大群观众。故选D。 44．细节理解题。根据第三段“When the music began, I froze. My mouth opened, but no sound came out. Ethan slowed the piano down for a beat as he looked over at me.(音乐响起时，我僵住了。我张开嘴，但没有发出声音。伊桑看着我，放慢了钢琴的节拍)”可知，伊桑开始弹钢琴时，艾利斯试着唱，但唱不出声音来。故选B。 45．主旨大意题。根据倒数第二段“Then, I locked eyes with Mom. Even at a distance, I could sense her gently mouthing the words to me as she had always done whenever I’d forget my lyrics, “Elise, you can do it.” I took a deep breath and my voice finally came out, strong and clear.(然后，我和妈妈对视了一下。即使在远处，我也能感觉到她温柔地用嘴对我说着歌词，就像每当我忘记歌词时她总是做的那样：“伊莉斯，你能行的。”我深吸了一口气，声音终于发出来了，有力而清晰)”结合文章主要讲述了作者去民族音乐会上表演，因为紧张发不出声音，多亏了母亲的支持让作者完成了演出。可知，这个故事主要告诉我们来自亲人的支持照亮了通往自信的道路。故选C。 主题03 人与自我——生活与学习 Passage 1 （24-25学年高一上·北京市昌平区·期末） I’ve always loved cats. But until nine years ago, my pet cats had a high number of deaths. I decided that my next cat was going to live indoors only. But then came Oliver. He was left at a vet’s office. My sister worked there, and the workers were having trouble finding him a home. The workers found him ordinary. They only kept him because he was a willing blood donor (捐献者). It broke my sister’s heart to see the little cat offer his arm for the needle (针). So, she called me to come and see him. When I met Oliver, I fell in love immediately. He had soft black fur (毛皮) with a white undercoat, a round face, and golden eyes. I named him Oliver and brought him home. But Oliver wasn’t an indoors-only cat. He cried at the door and tried to get out. After much discussion, my family and I built a 30-by-15-foot outdoor cat run with walls, grass and toys. Oliver loved it - lying in the grass, enjoying the sun, and watching birds. But that was not the end of it! The cat run overlooked an empty lot, inspiring the idea for a wildlife garden. So, I read books and magazines, visited child-care centres and went on garden tours to educate myself. I was not sure if I had the skills or knowledge to do it right, but I reasoned, no one would ever see the garden but us. With my dad, a retired worker, and the rest of my family, we cleared the land, planted thousands of trees, bushes, and flowers, and added roads, a pool, and garden decorations - much of it cat-themed. Everything was perfect! Our “Meyer Cat Garden” soon attracted birds, squirrels, frogs, and even deer. A friend suggested it for Spokane’s garden tour, and 5,000 visitors came. People loved its emotion and creativity. Media coverage followed, and since then, over 10,000 people have toured the garden, from nursing home members to national garden groups. The project changed my life. Working together brought my family closer. What matters most, I became an experienced gardener, head of our garden club, and confident in public speaking. Oliver, our inspiration, watches the garden from his cat run, satisfied and safe. We joke that with the cost of plants, decorations, and countless hours of labor, we’ve spent over $100,000 - earning Oliver the title of our “$100,000 homeless cat.” 46．The writer brought Oliver home because she ______. A．needed a pet blood donor B．wanted to help her sister C．felt sorry for her last cats D．loved him at the first sight 47．The writer decided to build an outdoor cat run to ______. A．meet Oliver’s need B．attract more wildlife C．start a garden project D．learn gardening skills 48．According to the passage, the “Meyer Cat Garden” ______.

He headed for the office, wondering why. He was a fairly good student, so it wasn’t his grades. Though, to be honest, he’d been making things a little worse, especially that last math test — ouch. But this was the first time the baseball team had run for the state championship in 11 years and as the star pitcher (明星投手), Danny had helped take them there. Surely there is nothing that can’t be forgiving. Taking a big breath, he stepped inside to find Mr. Irving, Coach Geller, and surprisingly, his mother waiting for him, who seemed to have cried. Uh, oh. He must really be in trouble. Mr. Irving broke the news that Danny wouldn’t be able to play in the last game of the championship. Coach Geller had accidentally left Danny’s name off the roster (候选名单), and additions weren’t allowed after it was handed in. “We’re very sorry, Danny,” said Mr. Irving, “I have been trying to fix it, but sofar, no luck.” Danny didn’t know what to say. …… As the game began, Danny cheered for his team, feeling a mix of emotions as its score rose and fell. In the bottom of the ninth, Simo hit a winning run, ensuring the victory for their team. Danny exploded out of his seat and rushed to the field to celebrate with his teammates, giving each other high-fives. That night, as he told the story, his mother listened quietly and said, “You should have played. That was your victory, and it was taken from you.” “No way,” he said with the biggest smile of his life. “That win today? That was my win, and Max’s, and Simo’s too. Don’t you get it, Mom? That’s what it means to be part of a team. I helped get us to the championship. And in my own way, I helped win it, too.” His mother looked at him almost like she’d never seen him before.

He was a fairly good student, so it wasn’t his grades. Though, to be honest, he’d been making things a little worse, especially that last math test — ouch. But this was the first time the baseball team had run for the state championship in 11 years and as the star pitcher (明星投手), Danny had helped take them there. Surely there is nothing that can’t be forgiving.(他朝办公室走去，心里琢磨着为什么。他是个相当不错的学生，所以不是他的成绩问题。不过，说实话，他把事情弄得有点糟了，尤其是上次的数学考试——哎呀。但这是棒球队11年来第一次冲击州冠军赛，而作为明星投手，丹尼帮助他们走到了这一步。当然，没有什么是不可原谅的)”以及第三段中“Taking a big breath, he stepped inside to find Mr. Irving, Coach Geller, and surprisingly, his mother waiting for him, who seemed to have cried. Uh, oh. He must really be in trouble.(他深吸一口气，走了进去，发现欧文先生、盖勒教练，令人惊讶的是，他的母亲也在等他，她似乎哭过。哦，糟了。他肯定是惹上大麻烦了)”可知，丹尼去办公室之前不知道叫他去的原因，心里充满了疑惑和不安，由此可推断出他是焦虑的。故选C项。 51．细节理解题。根据第四段中“Mr. Irving broke the news that Danny wouldn’t be able to play in the last game of the championship. Coach Geller had accidentally left Danny’s name off the roster (候选名单), and additions weren’t allowed after it was handed in.(欧文先生带来了一个消息，丹尼不能参加冠军赛的最后一场比赛了。盖勒教练不小心把丹尼的名字从候选名单上漏掉了，而且名单交上去之后就不允许再添加了)”可知，丹尼从欧文先生那里得知他的名字不在球队名单上。故选D项。 52．细节理解题。根据第四段中“Coach Geller had accidentally left Danny’s name off the roster (候选名单), and additions weren’t allowed after it was handed in.(盖勒教练不小心把丹尼的名字从候选名单上漏掉了，而且名单交上去之后就不允许再添加了)”可知，首先是候选名单被交上去；接着根据第五段“We’re very sorry, Danny,” said Mr. Irving, “I have been trying to fix it, but so far, no luck.(“我们非常抱歉，丹尼，”欧文先生说，“我一直在想办法解决，但到目前为止，没有成功。”)”可知，然后欧文先生试图纠正错误但失败了；根据倒数第五段“As the game began, Danny cheered for his team, feeling a mix of emotions as its score rose and fell. In the bottom of the ninth, Simo hit a winning run, ensuring the victory for their team. Danny exploded out of his seat and rushed to the field to celebrate with his teammates, giving each other high fives.(比赛开始了，丹尼为他的球队加油，随着球队比分的起伏，他百感交集。在第九局下半局，西莫击出致胜一分，确保了他们球队的胜利。丹尼从座位上一跃而起，冲到球场上和队友们一起庆祝，互相击掌)”可知，接下来丹尼和队友们庆祝胜利；根据倒数第三段“‘No way,’ he said with the biggest smile of his life. ‘That win today? That was my win, and Max’s, and Simo’s too. Don’t you get it, Mom? That’s what it means to be part of a team. I helped get us to the championship. And in my own way, I helped win it, too.’(“不可能，”他脸上露出了这辈子最大的笑容说道。“今天的胜利?那是我的胜利，也是马克斯的，还有西莫的。你不明白吗，妈妈?这就是成为团队一员的意义。我帮助我们进入了冠军赛。而且以我自己的方式，我也帮助赢得了胜利。”)”可知，最后，丹尼认为自己也获得了一场大胜利。所以正确顺序是②④③①。故选A项。 53．推理判断题。根据倒数第三段“‘No way,’ he said with the biggest smile of his life. ‘That win today? That was my win, and Max’s, and Simo’s too. Don’t you get it, Mom? That’s what it means to be part of a team. I helped get us to the championship. And in my own way, I helped win it, too.’(“不可能，”他脸上露出了这辈子最大的笑容说道。“今天的胜利?那是我的胜利，也是马克斯的，还有西莫的。你不明白吗，妈妈?这就是成为团队一员的意义。我帮助我们进入了冠军赛。而且以我自己的方式，我也帮助赢得了胜利。”)”可知，丹尼虽然不能上场比赛，但他认为团队的胜利就是自己的胜利，由此推知，从丹尼的故事中我们能学到团队的胜利才是真正的胜利。故选C项。 Passage 3 （24-25学年高一上·北京市北师大附中·期末） Growing up, Deka Ismail says she let labels define what she could be. “I was a black girl, from a refugee (难民) family,” Deka said. “It was as if I was only allowed to explore in this predetermined box.” After a high school chemistry class inspired her to think about a career in science and gave her confidence in the field, Deka learned to live outside labels and began making big plans for her future. Now she is about to begin her freshman year at the University of California, planning to become a professor. Born and raised in San Diego’s City Heights neighbourhood, Deka is the daughter of a Somali refugee couple. While some might say Delta’s success happened in spite of her background, she would say differently, that her experiences shaped her and inspired her to be the driven, young scientist that she is today. When Deka was eight years old, her mother got a job by studying hard back in school in order to support the whole family. That made Deka realize that education could make a difference to one’s life. She spent a lot of time in the library reading books, and didn’t do many of the things her peers did, like partying or having romantic relationships. “I always felt like I had to be the perfect girl for my family,” Deka said. “You have to not even do your best but two times better than everyone else. I felt like the whole world was waiting for me to mess up.” Delta’s efforts paid off. The summer before her senior year of high school, she was accepted to the American Chemical Society Project SEED Programme. “She brought both enthusiasm and focus,” Botham, a researcher at this research institute, recalled. “She arrived every day ready to work, ready to learn and ready to tackle new challenges regardless of whether or not she had done anything similar.” When asked what advice she would give to others like her, Deka warned them not to underestimate themselves. “Don’t tell yourself that the scholarship is too big or this programme is too competitive or I'll never get into this school,” she said. “I was not sure whether I could make it until I started seeing the acceptance letters rolling in.” 54．From the passage, we can learn that ________. A．Deka was adopted by a refugee family B．Deka spent a lot of time going to parties C．Deka became a professor after graduation D．Deka’s experiences drove her to work hard 55．Deka realized the importance of education ________. A．from her mother’s experience B．after her chemistry class C．by reading books in the library D．through working at the institute 56．According to the last paragraph, Deka advised that students be ________. A．patient B．confident C．ambitious D．generous 57．What does the story intend to tell us? A．Life is not all roses. B．Practice makes perfect. C．Well begun is half done. D．Hard work leads to success. 【答案】54．D 55．A 56．B 57．D 【分析】本文是一篇记叙文。德卡是一个出生在难民家庭里的黑人女孩，8岁时受母亲的影响意识到了知识的重要性，从此树立了梦想。高中化学课激起了她对科学的兴趣，增强了她的自信心。通过努力她最终取得了成就。 54．细节理解题。由文章第三段第三行“she would say differently, that her experiences shaped her and inspired her to be the driven, young scientist that she is today”（ 但她会说，不同的是，她的经历塑造了她，激励她成为今天这样一位干劲十足的年轻科学家。）可知，她的经历激励着她成为今天这样一个有干劲的年轻科学家，故选D项。 55．细节理解题。根据第四段前两句“When Deka was eight years old, her mother got a job by studying hard back in school in order to support the whole family. That made Deka realize that education could make a difference to one’s life.”（在德卡8岁时，她的母亲为养活全家，通过重返校园学习获得了一份工作，这让德卡意识到教育能对一个人的生活有影响）可知，她从母亲的经历意识到教育的重要性，故选A项。 56．推理判断题。根据最后一段中德卡的话“Don’t tell yourself that the scholarship is too big or this programme is too competitive or I'll never get into this school,”（不要低估自己，不要告诉自己奖学金目标太高远，或这个计划太有竞争力，也不要告诉自己永远进不了这个学校）可推知，她建议学生要有自信，故选B项。 57．写作意图题。根据文章的主要内容，尤其第四段的“She spent a lot of time in the library reading books, and didn’t do many of the things her peers did, like partying or having romantic relationships.（她花了很多时间在图书馆看书，而且没有做很多她同龄人做的事情，比如参加聚会或建立浪漫关系）”和倒数第二段的“Delta’s efforts paid off. The summer before her senior year of high school, she was accepted to the American Chemical Society Project SEED Programme. （德卡的努力得到了回报。高中最后一年的前一个夏天，她被美国化学学会项目种子计划录取）”可知，本文主要讲述了黑人女孩努力奋斗最终成功的故事，由此可知，本文旨在告诉我们努力可以带来成功，故选D项。 / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 专题04 阅读理解（记叙文） 主题01 人与社会——历史、社会与文化 Passage 1 （24-25学年高一上·北京市通州区·期末） Brad closed the door slowly as Sue left home to visit her mother. Expecting a whole day to relax, he was thinking whether to read the newspaper or watch his favourite TV talk show on his first day off in months. “This will be like a walk in the park,” he’d told his wife. “I’ll look after the kids, and you can go visit your mom.” Things started well, but just after eight o’clock, his three little “good kids” — Mike, Randy, and Alex — came down the stairs in their night clothes and shouted “breakfast, daddy.” When food had not appeared within thirty seconds, Randy began using his spoon on Alex’s head as if it were a drum. Alex started to shout loudly in time to the beat. Mike chanted “Where’s my toast, where’s my toast” in the background. Brad realised his newspaper would have to wait for a few seconds. Life became worse after breakfast. Mike wore Randy’s underwear on his head. Randy locked himself in the bathroom, while Alex shouted again because he was going to wet his pants. Nobody could find clean socks, although they were before their very eyes. Someone named “Not Me” had spilled a whole glass of orange juice into the basket of clean clothes. Brad knew the talk show had already started. By ten o’clock, things were out of control. Alex was wondering why the fish in the jar refused his bread and butter. Mike was trying to show off his talent by decorating the kitchen wall with his colour pencils. Randy, thankfully, appeared to be reading quietly in the family room, but closer examination showed that he was eating apple jam straight from the bottle with his hands. Brad realised that the talk show was over and reading would be impossible. At exactly 11:17, Brad called the daycare centre. “I suddenly have to go into work and my wife’s away. Can I bring the boys over in a few minutes?” The answer was obviously “yes” because Brad was smiling. 1．When his wife left home, Brad expected to . A．enjoy his first day off work.

My wife and I were celebrating our 40th wedding anniversary that year. To our delight, it was a splendid event, lovingly hosted by our sons just for us. Our dear, old friends gave us a wonderful surprise with their thoughtful gifts and heartfelt congratulations. Our gift to each other was a driving trip out west. After repairing our car, we drove from Ontario into Alberta, then southward into Glacier National Park in Montana, and continued to Yellowstone National Park. It was a cold spring day, and the Beartooth Highway had opened for the season just days before. Alongside the road, there was still a great amount of snow there: The scenery was so impressive that we made lots of stops to record with my camera. At the highest point of the highway, I stopped at a lookout to catch the amazing views, with my wife in the centre of my camera lens. There were not many cars on the road. Sometimes, cars with energetic young tourists passed by. And then we heard a motorcycle in the distance. The driver of the motorcycle, who wore dirty clothes, parked behind our cars. Approaching us, he spoke only a simple command (命令), “Give me your camera and get over there with your wife.” I must admit I felt nervous that he might take our things away where we just had some wonderful experiences. Surprisingly, he just took a picture of us, handed back my camera and rode off before we could offer our thanks. Unexpectedly, the photo he took is now one of the most valuable and prized of our trip. In that unexpected encounter, I absorbed a lesson in the most unlikely of place. We should never judge a man by the first impression. To the motorcyclist who may one day read this story and remember us: we wish to extend our deepest appreciation and a heartfelt “Thank you” for the kindness you showed us that day. 4．Why did the couple frequently stop on their trip? A．To clear the heavy snow on Beartooth Highway. B．To take pictures of the beautiful views. C．To make repairs on their car.

B．Appreciate something before it’s gone. C．Patience is a cure of nervousness. D．Actions speak louder than words. 主题02 人与自我——生活与学习 Passage 1 （24-25学年高一上·北京市东城区·期末） Lightning flashed through the darkness over Sean’s bedroom skylight (天窗). Sean was shaken by a clap of thunder before he knew what was happening. The storm had moved directly over his two-story wooden house. Then he heard the smoke alarm (警报) beeping. Sean rushed down the stairs to check; he opened the door to the basement (地下室), and there was too much smoke to breathe. Sean ran back upstairs to call 911 from his bedroom. “I felt safe because the room had a separate outdoor stairway,” he explains. But the phone didn’t work, and when he tried to go down the outdoor stairway, he was blocked by a wall of fire. Sean realized he was trapped. Sean’s house was three kilometers off the main road and was so well hidden by trees that he knew calling for help would be fruitless. Up a hill nearby lived Sean’s neighbor, David. He was lying in bed when something like a smoke alarm struck his ears. He jumped out of bed, took his phone and flashlight, and headed down the hillside toward the noise. That was when he saw the rolling heavy smoke. David dialed 911, and the operator warned him not to enter the house. But David said, “There is no way I am going to listen to Sean scream and die in that fire.” “Anyone there?” David called out. Then he heard “Help! I’m trapped!” coming from the second-floor window. He entered the house, but soon had to run back to catch his breath. After one more attempt inside the house, David gave up and circled around back. The wind parted the smoke just enough for him to catch sight of Sean. But there was no way to get to him. He shone the flashlight into the woods and noticed a ladder. He took it over to the balcony (阳台) and pulled Sean down just as the second floor of the house fell off. Sean still feels grateful when he tells the story. “I was alone that night,” he says. “Then I heard the most beautiful sound in my life. It was David.” 8．What happened to Sean’s house?

When he was visiting a middle school in Florida one Tuesday, he noticed sixth-grader Leo eating his lunch alone. Rudolph grabbed a couple pieces of pizza and joined Leo at his table. Leo has autism, a condition that can make it hard to make friends and communicate with other people. His mother always worries about him. Two days later, she saw a picture of Rudolph and Leo eating together and it made her so happy that she cried. Then, she shared the picture on the Internet, along with a message about how thankful she was. The story became popular very quickly. “We just had a great conversation. He started off telling me his name is Leo, telling me how much he loves Florida State. We went from there, ” said Rudolph. “It was really easy. He had a nice smile on his face. Just a really warm person.” Leo’s mother said that middle school can be hard, and she worries about how other kids will treat her son. “Sometimes I’m thankful for his autism. That may sound like a terrible thing to say, but in some ways I think — I hope — it shields him, ” she said. “He doesn’t seem to notice when people look at him when he flaps (拍打) his hands,” she said. “He doesn’t seem to notice that he doesn’t get invited to birthday parties. And he doesn’t seem to mind if he eats lunch alone.” The mother said the photo of Rudolph and Leo’s lunch date helped teach people about autism. “The picture speaks more than a thousand words. You can see how far away the rest of the students are, but you can see how engaged Rudolph is with Leo,” she added. “I just wanted to go say hi to the kid, because I saw him eating alone. I didn’t even know anybody took a photo of it.” Rudolph said he was glad that the story was helping others. Leo is excited that Rudolph signed his lunch box, and is enjoying all of the attention. “It’s been awesome. Everyone was so proud of me,” Leo said.

Passage 3 （24-25学年高一上·北京市平谷区·期末） A 12-year-old girl’s playground vision has become a reality, thanks to the kindness and support of Clearfield City officials who welcomed her creativity and passion. Earlier this year, young Rosili noticed that a new playground at Thornock Park was being built, but the equipment seemed more suitable for older kids. Concerned that she wouldn’t be able to enjoy it with her younger sisters, Rosili took matters into her own hands. Armed with creativity and a passion for play, she designed her ideal playground with detailed descriptions and labels. With support from her mom, Rosili took her designs to Clearfield’s city hall, where she met with Eric Howes, the city’s community services director. Impressed by the effort and thought Rosili put into her drawings, Howes took time to review each of her plans. “She put a ton of time into that and a lot of thought, and she showed it from four different angles,” Howes explained. Although the Thornock Park playground was already in progress, the city had plans to build a new playground at Bicentennial Park, and Rosili’s designs were used in the project. Rosili was involved in every step of the process, working alongside city officials and playground equipment vendors to bring her dream to life. On Tuesday, Rosili’s dream playground was officially opened at Bicentennial Park. Rosili proudly cut the ribbon at the ceremony, creating a new play space for children of all ages to enjoy — a space that was imagined and brought to life by a young girl who believed she could make a difference. 16．Rosili designed a playground because ______. A．she didn’t enjoy Thornock Park B．it would meet younger kids’ need C．she aimed to show her creativity and passion D．Clearfield City officials encouraged her to do so 17．From Howes’ words, we can infer that Rosili’s drawings were probably ______.

Passage 2 （23-24学年高一上·北京市海淀区·期末） As a clueless freshman, I waltzed into my first creative writing course by accident, thinking it was a literature class on how to read stories, not how to write them. When the teacher introduced the course, I realized my mistake. The credits I earned from the course wouldn’t count toward my major. By the end of the session, however, I decided that I had to be a part of the course. Perhaps, as a lifelong reader, I was eager to understand how stories worked their magic. But taking the class would be impossible: I wasn’t even on the waitlist. That’s when the teacher asked for a volunteer to submit the first workshop story. Silence blanketed the room. No one risked eye contact. Whoever volunteered would have to write a whole story in a week. Perhaps they, like me, had never written one before. Seizing my chance, I raised my hand and asked, “If I go first, will you give me a spot in the class?” He said he would. So, instead of keeping my head down and avoiding eye contact, I did the opposite. Years later, I’d completed a degree in creative writing and was working on a novel when a literary agent (经纪人) asked to read the first 50 pages of my draft. But I wasn’t comfortable showing her anything; the novel was far from done. Throughout graduate school, I’d been advised many times not to contact agents until I have a complete draft. In the meanwhile, I knew the beginning of my story was attractive and that the agent might not remember me after a year. So, once again, instead of keeping my head down and avoiding eye contact, I did the opposite. I sent her the first three chapters. A month later, she signed me on the strength of those chapters alone. She has since seen me through the publication of three novels. Determination, focus, perseverance—the qualities that I consider crucial in getting me into Stanford no doubt helped me become the novelist I am today. And yet if I’d trained my gaze only on the path ahead, I would have missed so many happy accidents, so many beautiful opportunities to look up, raise my hand, and say yes. 24．What made the author finally decide to take the course? A．The popularity of the course. B．Her curiosity about story writing. C．Her confidence in her writing skills. D．The need to get credits for her degree. 25．The author volunteered to write the first workshop story to A．challenge herself B．impress the teacher C．display her talent D．win a place in the class 26．The author sent her first three chapters to the agent because A．her friends advised her to do so B．her story was attractive to readers C．the agent asked her to turn in the work D．she wanted to get the chance of publication 27．What does the passage mainly tell us? A．Action speaks louder than words. B．Chance favors only the prepared mind. C．Success comes to those who will and dare. D．Confidence leads to growth and fulfillment. 主题04 人与自然——自然生态 Passage 1 （23-24学年高一上·北京市东城区·期末） A baby giraffe, called a calf, can stand up and walk about an hour after it comes into the world. At least, it should be able to. That wasn’t the case with Msituni, a giraffe born at the Safari Park. The very day Msituni was born, her front legs were bending improperly, making it difficult for her to stand and walk. Dr. Kinney, the wildlife care specialist at the park and his team recognized the problem and reacted quickly. They realized Msituni would need medical treatment. First of all, they decided to bottle raise Msituni because her injuries prevented her from staying with her mom. The care team aimed to reduce long-term joint damage, and do their best to ensure Msituni has a long, healthy life. With the information from the detailed 3D imaging of Msituni’s legs, the care team determined that specialized orthotic braces(矫形器)should be able to fix the position of Msituni’s legs. However, her size made finding supports for her legs very challenging. The solution came in partnership with Hanger Clinic, a nationwide provider of orthotic braces. While the company focuses on care for humans, the company’s experts asked Safari Park wildlife care staff for advice. Together, they made a pair of orthotic braces for the calf. They wanted to enable Msituni to lie down, stand, walk, and run like a healthy giraffe. Finally, the treatments were a success. After about two months, with Msituni’s legs correctly positioned, caregivers were able to remove her leg braces. Today, Msituni can be found playing with the rest of giraffes in the Safari Park. “It was worthwhile to use problem-solving skills to help wildlife,” said Dr. Kinney. “To address the challenges that wildlife faces, we need to work together.” 28．What was Msituni’s problem? A．She got injured in the park. B．She had trouble with her legs. C．She found it difficult to breathe. D．She was left alone by her mother. 29．To help Msituni, Dr. Kinney and his group ______. A．developed a special medicine B．were teamed up with other experts C．trained Msituni how to live in the wild D．guided the healthy giraffes to accept Msituni 30．What does the underlined word “address” in the last paragraph mean? A．Deal with. B．Come across. C．Concentrate on. D．Be responsible for. 主题01 人与社会——历史、社会与文化 Passage 1 （24-25学年高一上·北京市西城区·期末） “See you at Open House tonight, Amy,” Evelyn shouted from the school bus window. “Don’t forget to ask your mom if I can come over tomorrow!” “OK!” I called back. I wished I could feel excited about my first Open House at my new school, but I was worried. What would other kids say when they found out my parents can’t hear? And I wanted Evelyn to visit but then she’d see how different my house was. My parents use a video phone so they can use sign language to communicate with callers. We also have a light on the wall that flashes when the phone or doorbell rings. Would Evelyn think my house was strange? That night, when Dad drove us to the brightly lit school, it looked different. As we walked down the hallway to my classroom, we stopped in front of the bulletin board in the hall. “Look at Amy’s picture!” Mom said, too loud. She does that when she’s excited, because she can’t hear herself. Some older kids turned to stare (盯视) at us and I wanted to hide. I led my family into my classroom and looked around. Other kids and parents were there, but I didn’t see Evelyn. Ms. Jennings walked over to us. I introduced my teacher to my family and let her know about my parents’ deafness. “Oh,” she said. “Well, how do you say ‘Welcome!’ in sign language?” “Like this.” I swept my open right hand in toward my body, palm (手掌) up. She repeated the gesture. “Thank you,” Mom said, smiling. “It’s nice to meet you.” Ms. Jennings looked surprised. “You speak very well,” she said. Mom nodded. “I lost my hearing as a child, after I’d learned to talk. Amy’s father was born deaf. He can talk, too, but he’s shy about his voice.” Dad smiled in agreement. Some of my classmates were watching us and whispering. Then I noticed Evelyn and her mom standing by the door. “I sit over there,” I told my family and quickly walked toward my desk. “Hi, Amy,” Evelyn said suddenly. “I didn’t know your parents are deaf.” “Yeah.” I couldn’t think of anything else to say. “And you can talk to them with your hands? That’s so cool.” “You think so?” I said with relief. Evelyn nodded. “It’s like a secret code. Would you teach me some words sometime?” I smiled. “Of course. If you come over tomorrow, we can practice some sign language then.” 31．How is Amy’s house different? A．It has deaf-friendly devices. B．It is brightly lit. C．It is interestingly decorated. D．It has strange furniture. 32．At the Open House, Amy wanted to hide because ________.

Passage 2 （23-24学年高一上·北京市朝阳区·期末） Hansel Enmanuel, a 19-year-old basketball player, has drawn attention after videos spread quickly showing his awesome skills, like making 3-point shots and dunking (灌篮) with ease. All with just his right arm. It looks almost effortless when he plays. However, it’s not. It never has been. Enmanuel was 6 when he was climbing a wall. It fell over him, bricks and blocks on his left arm. He was rushed to the hospital, but the doctor couldn’t save his arm and it was cut off several inches below the shoulder. It was a dark time for Enmanuel and his family. Slowly, things got better for the little boy. He still remembers the first time he tied his shoes. Just 7, Enmanuel was waiting for his mother to do it for him, but she was busy cooking. “I was like, never mind, I’m going to start,” he said in a recent interview. “I told myself let me try. I was trying. Then I made it.” “So I was excited, excited like crazy,” he added. Small things became huge victories. Months after that, Enmanuel tried basketball, too. But it’s not an easy path. His missing arm left him lacking balance. Every time he tried to run, he’d crash to the ground, falling on debris (碎片) covered across the courts he played on. These falls left him with numerous scars (疤痕). In the interview, Enmanuel pointed to the scar after scar down the length of the leg, reminders of a hard time that has brought him to excellence in basketball skills. Enmanuel first dunked at 14, and it wasn’t long before his popularity grew with the views on his videos. But it wasn’t the highlight videos that interested his coach, Corey Gipson. He liked Enmanuel’s attitude and the way he carried himself on the court. “Hansel is a very tough person,” Gipson said. “When you see him on the floor, you just see an unstoppable force that doesn’t take anything for granted (理所应当).” “I’m not special,” Enmanuel said. “I’m not different than nobody. The only difference is that I’ve got one arm, but that’s not different.” 34．What first encouraged Enmanuel to recover from the accident? A．The help from his doctor. B．Managing to tie his shoes. C．Videos on his shots and dunking. D．The attention from his mother. 35．Enmanuel pointed to scars on his leg mainly to show his ______. A．success B．health C．efforts D．competence 36．What interested Enmanuel’s coach most? A．His response to difficulties. B．His great sense of balance. C．His confidence on the court. D．His popularity on social media. 37．What does the story intend to tell us? A．He who laughs last laughs best. B．Don’t judge a book by its cover. C．Nothing is impossible to a willing heart. D．You can make a difference by being different. 主题02 人与社会——文学、艺术与体育 Passage 1 （24-25学年高一上·北京市顺义区·期末） Some days ago in a PE class, I found the Paralympic Games of London very inspiring. Although the athletes were disabled, they tried their best to achieve the goals. I find it important to let people realize the spirits of the Paralympic Games and I think that writing a post about it can help people learn a lot about it. I am going to use the example of Jessica Tatiana Long, a woman I admire very much, to introduce the spirits of the Paralympic Games. Jessica was born in Russia in February, 1992, and then at the age of 13 months she was adopted (收养) by American people. Unfortunately, because of a serious disease, her two legs were partly cut off at only 18 months and she had to learn how to walk with walking sticks. In an interview, she said that in her childhood, she wasn’t confident and felt really bad about her physical disability. But after some years she realized she had great abilities in sports. At the beginning, she was part of a gymnastic club, but the sport was extremely painful for her. At 10 years old, she began swimming and with the support of her family, at the age of 12, she joined the Paralympics in 2004. She finally won three medals in swimming and became the youngest athlete to win at Paralympics. This marked the beginning of her amazing career in the sport. I believe after reading her stories, you will feel inspired. She won 29 medals, including 16 gold medals, and even wrote her autobiography (自传): Unsinkable. Back to the Paralympics, the first Paralympics took place in Stoke Mandeville, a small village in England on July 29th, 1948. Since then, the Paralympics has improved and developed. In my opinion, without such events, it’s hard to know so many amazing disabled athletes. Moreover, it helps many disabled people feel better about themselves and shows that physical disabilities don’t have to hold them back from achieving greatness. 38．What do we know about Jessica? A．She was born in America. B．She had an operation on her legs. C．She was raised by Russian people. D．She was healthy at the age of 19 months. 39．How did Jessica feel upon her disability in her childhood? A．Down. B．Angry. C．Moved. D．Surprised. 40．From the passage, we know that ______. A．Jessica wrote a book about her own special story B．Jessica began swimming before joining in a gymnastic club C．Jessica’s friends noticed that she had great abilities in sports D．Jessica became the second youngest athlete to win at the Paralympics 41．The writer is most likely to agree that ______. A．all disabled people can join the Paralympics B．the Paralympics has kept the same since it started C．you cannot have big achievements if you’ re adopted D．the Paralympics gives us a chance to discover many great disabled athletes 42．Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A．Once Bitten, Twice Shy B．The History of the Paralympics C．Actions Speak Louder than Words D．Disabled Athletes in the World of Sport Passage 2 （24-25学年高一上·北京市海淀区·期末） I did not expect so many people to be here. Over five hundred were seated in rows that extended into the open gymnasium beyond. I could hear the occasional sound of a cough or a child trying to stay quiet, but it all sounded muffled as if I was under water. Every night, Ethan and I practiced hard until my voice got rough (沙哑的) and his fingers hurt. We were invited to perform at a national music concert. It was a rare opportunity for us to shine, so we wanted to give it our all. Every run-through we did, we’d fix a few mistakes but always find a few new ones in exchange. It was like two steps forward and one step back. Even though we sometimes disagreed, we stayed focused on our goal. As we walked up onto the stage, I could feel a thousand sharp eyes on me. The air was perfectly still. The lights felt hot on my face. When the music began, I froze. My mouth opened, but no sound came out. Ethan slowed the piano down for a beat as he looked over at me. He knew something was wrong, but he continued onward as he had been trained to do. I searched desperately for a solution, my eyes moving quickly around the darkened hall. I felt as if time had stopped. Then, I locked eyes with Mom. Even at a distance, I could sense her gently mouthing the words to me as she had always done whenever I’d forget my lyrics, “Elise, you can do it.” I took a deep breath and my voice finally came out, strong and clear. Ethan and I rode through the rest of the song until the end, our voices and the piano fitting together in harmony. A moment of reflective silence. Then, the entire audience rose to their feet in applause. A month later, I felt like I was under water again. A soft announcer called out, “Fantaisie Impromptu, Op. 66.” I walked onto the stage. As I looked up, I saw my mom. She watched me patiently and gave me a reassuring nod. Gradually, the pressure on my chest melted away and I could breathe once more. I had done this before, and I would do it again. 43．Elise was nervous because ______. A．she didn’t practice enough with Ethan B．she was worrying about her rough voice C．she didn’t share the same goal with Ethan D．she had to face a large audience in the hall 44．When Ethan started to play the piano, Elise ______. A．lost herself in the beautiful music B．tried to sing but couldn’t make a sound C．felt something wrong with the stage lights D．counted the beats of the song alongside him 45．What does the story mainly tell us? A．Teamwork turns the impossible into reality. B．Continuous hard work will eventually pay off. C．Support from loved ones lights the path to confidence. D．True strength comes from overcoming repeated failures. 主题03 人与自我——生活与学习 Passage 1 （24-25学年高一上·北京市昌平区·期末） I’ve always loved cats. But until nine years ago, my pet cats had a high number of deaths. I decided that my next cat was going to live indoors only. But then came Oliver. He was left at a vet’s office. My sister worked there, and the workers were having trouble finding him a home. The workers found him ordinary. They only kept him because he was a willing blood donor (捐献者). It broke my sister’s heart to see the little cat offer his arm for the needle (针). So, she called me to come and see him. When I met Oliver, I fell in love immediately. He had soft black fur (毛皮) with a white undercoat, a round face, and golden eyes. I named him Oliver and brought him home. But Oliver wasn’t an indoors-only cat. He cried at the door and tried to get out. After much discussion, my family and I built a 30-by-15-foot outdoor cat run with walls, grass and toys. Oliver loved it - lying in the grass, enjoying the sun, and watching birds. But that was not the end of it! The cat run overlooked an empty lot, inspiring the idea for a wildlife garden. So, I read books and magazines, visited child-care centres and went on garden tours to educate myself. I was not sure if I had the skills or knowledge to do it right, but I reasoned, no one would ever see the garden but us. With my dad, a retired worker, and the rest of my family, we cleared the land, planted thousands of trees, bushes, and flowers, and added roads, a pool, and garden decorations - much of it cat-themed. Everything was perfect! Our “Meyer Cat Garden” soon attracted birds, squirrels, frogs, and even deer. A friend suggested it for Spokane’s garden tour, and 5,000 visitors came. People loved its emotion and creativity. Media coverage followed, and since then, over 10,000 people have toured the garden, from nursing home members to national garden groups. The project changed my life. Working together brought my family closer. What matters most, I became an experienced gardener, head of our garden club, and confident in public speaking. Oliver, our inspiration, watches the garden from his cat run, satisfied and safe. We joke that with the cost of plants, decorations, and countless hours of labor, we’ve spent over $100,000 - earning Oliver the title of our “$100,000 homeless cat.” 46．The writer brought Oliver home because she ______. A．needed a pet blood donor B．wanted to help her sister C．felt sorry for her last cats D．loved him at the first sight 47．The writer decided to build an outdoor cat run to ______. A．meet Oliver’s need B．attract more wildlife C．start a garden project D．learn gardening skills 48．According to the passage, the “Meyer Cat Garden” ______.

A．Strict and serious. B．Brave and focused. C．Gentle and outgoing. D．Creative and caring. Passage 2 （24-25学年高一上·北京市丰台区·期末） Danny was just putting his cleats (训练鞋) into his locker when his teammate, Max, informed him that Mr. Irving, the principal wanted to see him in the office. He headed for the office, wondering why. He was a fairly good student, so it wasn’t his grades. Though, to be honest, he’d been making things a little worse, especially that last math test — ouch. But this was the first time the baseball team had run for the state championship in 11 years and as the star pitcher (明星投手), Danny had helped take them there. Surely there is nothing that can’t be forgiving. Taking a big breath, he stepped inside to find Mr. Irving, Coach Geller, and surprisingly, his mother waiting for him, who seemed to have cried. Uh, oh. He must really be in trouble. Mr. Irving broke the news that Danny wouldn’t be able to play in the last game of the championship. Coach Geller had accidentally left Danny’s name off the roster (候选名单), and additions weren’t allowed after it was handed in. “We’re very sorry, Danny,” said Mr. Irving, “I have been trying to fix it, but sofar, no luck.” Danny didn’t know what to say. …… As the game began, Danny cheered for his team, feeling a mix of emotions as its score rose and fell. In the bottom of the ninth, Simo hit a winning run, ensuring the victory for their team. Danny exploded out of his seat and rushed to the field to celebrate with his teammates, giving each other high-fives. That night, as he told the story, his mother listened quietly and said, “You should have played. That was your victory, and it was taken from you.” “No way,” he said with the biggest smile of his life. “That win today? That was my win, and Max’s, and Simo’s too. Don’t you get it, Mom? That’s what it means to be part of a team. I helped get us to the championship. And in my own way, I helped win it, too.” His mother looked at him almost like she’d never seen him before. Then she smiled and hugged him tightly. “You’re right, Danny! Three cheers for your big win!” 50．How did Danny feel before stepping into the office? A．Disappointed. B．Excited. C．Anxious.

D．He that falls today may be up again tomorrow Passage 3 （24-25学年高一上·北京市北师大附中·期末） Growing up, Deka Ismail says she let labels define what she could be. “I was a black girl, from a refugee (难民) family,” Deka said. “It was as if I was only allowed to explore in this predetermined box.” After a high school chemistry class inspired her to think about a career in science and gave her confidence in the field, Deka learned to live outside labels and began making big plans for her future. Now she is about to begin her freshman year at the University of California, planning to become a professor. Born and raised in San Diego’s City Heights neighbourhood, Deka is the daughter of a Somali refugee couple. While some might say Delta’s success happened in spite of her background, she would say differently, that her experiences shaped her and inspired her to be the driven, young scientist that she is today. When Deka was eight years old, her mother got a job by studying hard back in school in order to support the whole family. That made Deka realize that education could make a difference to one’s life. She spent a lot of time in the library reading books, and didn’t do many of the things her peers did, like partying or having romantic relationships. “I always felt like I had to be the perfect girl for my family,” Deka said. “You have to not even do your best but two times better than everyone else. I felt like the whole world was waiting for me to mess up.” Delta’s efforts paid off. The summer before her senior year of high school, she was accepted to the American Chemical Society Project SEED Programme. “She brought both enthusiasm and focus,” Botham, a researcher at this research institute, recalled. “She arrived every day ready to work, ready to learn and ready to tackle new challenges regardless of whether or not she had done anything similar.” When asked what advice she would give to others like her, Deka warned them not to underestimate themselves. “Don’t tell yourself that the scholarship is too big or this programme is too competitive or I'll never get into this school,” she said. “I was not sure whether I could make it until I started seeing the acceptance letters rolling in.” 54．From the passage, we can learn that ________. A．Deka was adopted by a refugee family B．Deka spent a lot of time going to parties C．Deka became a professor after graduation D．Deka’s experiences drove her to work hard 55．Deka realized the importance of education ________. A．from her mother’s experience B．after her chemistry class C．by reading books in the library D．through working at the institute 56．According to the last paragraph, Deka advised that students be ________. A．patient B．confident C．ambitious D．generous 57．What does the story intend to tell us? A．Life is not all roses. B．Practice makes perfect. C．Well begun is half done. D．Hard work leads to success. / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
