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学年高三上·北京市石景山区·期末） In the summer of 2024, instead of travelling, Aurora and her school-aged daughters, Shay and Anna, spent their vacation at home. Aurora had lost her driver’s license due to careless driving, so they were unable to go far from their home in Redvers. However, Spooky, their pet cat, managed to take an international journey. Initially, Aurora wasn’t overly concerned when Spooky didn’t return on July 22. “I thought he would turn up in one of our cupboards,” she recalls. “That said, we do live close to the highway, so I was a bit nervous that he might have been hit by a vehicle.” As it turned out, Spooky had climbed into the engine bay of a parked truck. When the truck departed, Spooky became a stowaway (偷渡者). Somehow, he remained unharmed in that narrow space full of wires and pipes while the vehicle drove 143 miles across the border from North Dakota to Manitoba and back to North Dakota again. The following night, July 23, the truck’s driver opened the bonnet (引擎盖) to perform a routine maintenance check. A pair of bright eyes stared up, surprising him. His unexpected passenger was wearing a rabies vaccination (狂犬病接种) tag that listed the phone number for a pet hospital. Meanwhile, there were lots of tears in Aurora’s home. “My daughters were extremely sad,” she says. “Spooky means the world to us.” He had been missing for about 24 hours when the kids went to bed on July 23. It was late that evening when Aurora received a call from Spooky’ s vet, who told her the missing cat had been found in North Dakota. On July 24, Shay and Anna went to pick up Spooky with Aurora. “As the truck pulled up, my girls were jumping for joy,” Aurora says. Besides feeling grateful for strangers’ good deeds, Aurora was amused that Spooky had crossed the border at a time when it was closed to everyone except essential traffic. Nowadays, Spooky doesn’t tend to wander far from home. He always stays close to the front steps and takes in the warm sunset with his eyes half-closed in contentment. 1．What was Aurora’s first reaction when Spooky didn’t return home? A．She went to search for him immediately. B．She wasn’t too worried about his missing. C．She didn’t believe he’d gone on the highway. D．She assumed he could be trapped in a cupboard. 2．How did Spooky take the cross-border travel? A．He wandered off on his own. B．He was taken away by a vet. C．He was caged by a stowaway. D．He boarded a truck unknowingly. 3．What message does this story convey? A．Dream guides us through darkness. B．Kindness leads the way for the lost. C．Hope is the light that guides us home. D．Love lights the path to a place of peace. 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．B 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Aurora家的猫Spooky意外搭上卡车进行跨境旅行，最终被找回的故事。 1．细节理解题。由文章第二段中“Initially, Aurora wasn’t overly concerned when Spooky didn’t return on July 22. “I thought he would turn up in one of our cupboards,” she recalls. (起初，当Spooky在7月22日没有回家时，Aurora并没有太在意。“我以为它只是躲在家里的某个柜子里了，”她回忆道。)”可知，最初当Spooky没有回家时，她不太担心Spooky的失踪。故选B。 2．细节理解题。由文章第三段中“As it turned out, Spooky had climbed into the engine bay of a parked truck. When the truck departed, Spooky became a stowaway. (结果证明，Spooky爬进了一辆停着的卡车的发动机舱里。当卡车启程时，Spooky就成了一名偷渡者。)”可知，它是在不知情的情况下上了卡车，故选D。 3．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是由倒数第二段“On July 24, Shay and Anna went to pick up Spooky with Aurora. “As the truck pulled up, my girls were jumping for joy,” Aurora says. Besides feeling grateful for strangers’ good deeds, Aurora was amused that Spooky had crossed the border at a time when it was closed to everyone except essential traffic. (7月24日，Shay、Anna和Aurora一起去接Spooky。“当卡车停下来时，我的女儿们高兴得跳了起来，”Aurora说。除了对陌生人的善举心存感激外，Aurora还觉得很有趣的是，Spooky竟然在边境只对必要交通开放的时候穿越了边境。)”可知，本文主要讲述了Aurora的猫Spooky在不知情的情况下上了一辆卡车，跨越边境旅行，最终在好心人的帮助下被找回的故事。由此可推知，这个故事传达的信息是善良为迷失者指引方向。故选B。 Passage 2 （24-25学年高三上·北京市通州区·期末） Tara grew up in a remote mountain region of Idaho, where her family led an unconventional lifestyle, avoiding modern society.

Books were rare in their home, and Tara's learning was limited to what her parents chose to teach. (正规教育不被认可，塔拉童年时期和父母一起劳作，和母亲一起调配草药，在父亲的废料场帮忙。他们家很少有书，塔拉的学习仅限于父母选择教给她的东西)”可推知，她父母对正规教育的态度阻碍了塔拉在童年时期接受正规教育。故选C。 5．细节理解题。根据第二段“As Tara grew older, she became aware of the world beyond her family's isolated home. Her curiosity about education deepened.At the age of 16, she decided to change her life and pursue formal learning(随着塔拉逐渐长大，她意识到了自家与世隔绝的家之外的世界。她对教育的好奇心愈发强烈。16岁时，她决定改变自己的生活，追求正规教育)”可知，对知识的渴望促使塔拉去寻求教育。故选B。 6．细节理解题。根据第三段“With no formal schooling background, she had to teach herself everything from basic math to history, it was a journey filled with obstacles and moments of self-doubt, The idea of sitting in a college classroom seemed almost impossible.(由于没有正规的学校教育背景，她不得不自学从基础数学到历史的所有知识，这是一段充满障碍和自我怀疑的历程，坐在大学教室里的想法似乎几乎是不可能的)”可知，塔拉刚上大学时面临的挑战是她以前从未接受过学校教育。故选B。 7．推理判断题。文章讲述了塔拉克服重重困难，包括父母不支持正规教育、自身没有学校教育背景等，最终取得成功的故事。根据最后一段“Looking back, Tara realized her journey was not just about gaining knowledge it was about facing challenges bravely and having the courage to redefine who she really was.(回首往事，塔拉意识到她的这段经历不仅仅是关于获取知识，更是关于勇敢面对挑战，并有勇气重新定义真正的自己)”可推知，从塔拉的故事中我们能学到克服困难会带来个人成长。故选D。 主题02 人与自我——生活与学习 Passage 1 （24-25学年高三上·北京市顺义区·期末） I remembered when I was a kid, I began a lifelong love affair with books. Each week, I would come home with a book different from the one in the library. I would soon begin to write my own. I was shy and introverted, and I never showed anyone my work. So, when Mrs. Spica asked us to write a short story based on a book that we recently read, I was nervous. My writings were personal. Now, I had to expose my works to others, and my creations would be judged and graded. I felt uneasy. However, I pushed through my discomfort and wrote a story. I was unsure if I was any good, but I got an A+ with a note saying “Have you ever thought about being a writer? You have so much potential.” In general, I am poor at receiving feedback. If it is negative, I end up feeling discouraged. If it is positive, I dismiss the comments as incorrect. So when Mrs. Spica told me all those encouraging words, I could not compute. Then, when the dream job assignment rolled around, she put action behind her encouraging words. Somehow, she found a way for me to connect with one of my favorite authors. All I had to do was call him at the appointed time. I felt my heartbeat quicken as I heard the voice on the other line. We spent the next hour talking about the author’s inspirations for his books, my deep appreciation and tips to improve my writing, but I remember nothing in details. What I do remember is to continue writing. 8．What was the essay assigned by Mrs. Spica about? A．A famous person’s life. B．Skills of writing stories. C．An interview with a writer. D．The student’s dream job. 9．What did the author do when asked to write a story? A．He hesitated to accept it. B．He turned to others for help. C．He avoided showing his ability. D．He borrowed a book from the library. 10．How did the author feel after getting the feedback from Mrs. Spica? A．Uncertain. B．Proud. C．Confident. D．Unconcerned. 11．What can we learn from the passage? A．Patience awakes passion. B．Challenge motivates ambition. C．Encouragement brings confidence. D．Communication promotes understanding. 【答案】8．D 9．A 10．A 11．C 【导语】本文是记叙文。讲述了作者在学校的一次写作作业经历，以及这次经历如何影响了作者对成为作家的思考和自我认知。 8．细节理解题。根据第一段“Weeks before, Mrs. Spica had assigned an essay about what we would like to be when we grew up.(几周前，斯皮卡太太布置了一篇关于我们长大后想成为什么的作文)”可知，斯皮卡太太布置的论文是学生的梦想工作。故选D项。 9．推理判断题。根据第二段“So, when Mrs. Spica asked us to write a short story based on a book that we recently read, I was nervous. My writings were personal. Now, I had to expose my works to others, and my creations would be judged and graded. I felt uneasy.(所以，当斯皮卡夫人让我们根据我们最近读过的一本书写一个短篇故事时，我很紧张。我的作品是私人的。现在，我必须把我的作品展示给别人，我的创作会被评判和评分。我感到不安)”可知，当作者被要求写一个故事时，他感到不安，犹豫着要不要接受。故选A项。 10．细节理解题。根据第三段“However, I pushed through my discomfort and wrote a story. I was unsure if I was any good, but I got an A+ with a note saying “Have you ever thought about being a writer? You have so much potential.”(然而，我克服了不适，写了一个故事。我不确定自己考得好不好，但我得了A+，并得到一张纸条，上面写着“你有没有想过成为一名作家？你有这么大的潜力。”)”可知，作者得了A+，但是并不确定自己考得好不好。故选A项。 11．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“In general, I am poor at receiving feedback. If it is negative, I end up feeling discouraged. If it is positive, I dismiss the comments as incorrect. So when Mrs. Spica told me all those encouraging words, I could not compute. Then, when the dream job assignment rolled around, she put action behind her encouraging words. Somehow, she found a way for me to connect with one of my favorite authors. All I had to do was call him at the appointed time.(总的来说，我不善于接受反馈。如果是消极的，我最终会感到沮丧。如果它是积极的，我认为评论是不正确的。所以当斯皮卡太太对我说那些鼓励的话时，我无法计算。然后，当理想的工作任务出现时，她在鼓励的话语背后付诸行动。不知怎么的，她想办法让我和我最喜欢的作家之一联系上了。我所要做的就是在约定的时间给他打电话)”可知，本文主要讲述了鼓励带来自信。故选C项。 Passage 2 （24-25学年高三上·北京市房山区·期末） On a warm afternoon at the shore, my four-year-old son, Wilson, and I headed to the beach, our favorite evening escape. The sun was still bright as Wilson happily raced to the water’s edge, letting the waves wet him. It’s hard to believe that not long ago, his sensitivities from autism (自闭症) kept him from approaching the beach. After years of treatment, he now loves our seaside adventures, which fills me with joy. We used to look for seashells to fill our bucket (桶). On this day, there didn’t seem to be too many shells washed up on the shore. As we collected seashells, I searched for perfect ones, while Wilson filled our bucket with broken pieces. I wondered why he was doing that. When I suggested finding whole shells, he simply gave me a puzzled look and continued picking up whatever he found, content with his unique collection. I continued my search for a while and then stopped to watch him place more broken shells into the bucket. Again, I stopped, but this time I asked in a firm voice, “Wilson, why do you keep filling our bucket with shells that are broken?” He looked up at me and said, “Mom, there are more broken shells on the beach than perfect ones. We’ll fill the bucket faster with these broken ones.” True, I thought, but who wants a bucketful of broken shells? Wilson stared at me and said, “Mom, these shells are broken, but they are still beautiful.” “You’re right, Wilson,” I replied. “And, Mom, this one looks like a smile when you hold it this way,” he said as he reached for another broken shell. “It reminds me of a clown. This one is round like the sun.” Tears filled my eyes as I realized my son was teaching me an important lesson. I took out the perfect shells I had collected and placed them back on the beach. Wilson and I walked along, gathering only broken shells, and admiring their beauty. Back at our beach house, we washed the shells and proudly displayed our “broken shell garden”. It reminded us that none of us are perfect, but we all have unique beauty. Now, we collect only broken shells, finding beauty in their imperfections and learning from them. 12．How did the author feel upon seeing her son’s collection of broken shells at first? A．Annoyed. B．Confused. C．Inspired. D．Amused. 13．According to this passage, it is clear that ________. A．Wilson preferred to collect shells with his mother slowly B．broken shells were more beautiful than whole shells C．Wilson collected broken shells for their uniqueness D．broken shells reminded Wilson of his illness 14．In the end, the author ________. A．encouraged her son to find faults in shells B．changed her view on broken shells C．blamed her son for being unique D．kept her belief in perfection 15．What can we learn from this passage? A．No sweet without sweat. B．Beauty is for a feeling heart. C．Don’t put all your eggs in one basket. D．A shell in the hand is worth two in the sea. 【答案】12．B 13．C 14．B 15．B 【导语】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者和患自闭症的儿子去海边捡贝壳，儿子偏爱碎贝壳，作者从中领悟到不完美之物也有独特美，应学会欣赏。 12．细节理解题。根据第二段“I wondered why he was doing that. When I suggested finding whole shells, he simply gave me a puzzled look and continued picking up whatever he found, content with his unique collection.(我想知道他为什么要那样做。当我建议去找完整的贝壳时，他只是困惑地看了我一眼，然后继续捡起他找到的任何东西，对他独特的收藏很满意。)”可知，一开始作者看到儿子收集破碎的贝壳时感到很困惑。故选B项。 13．细节理解题。根据第二段“When I suggested finding whole shells, he simply gave me a puzzled look and continued picking up whatever he found, content with his unique collection.(当我建议他找整个贝壳时，他只是困惑地看了我一眼，然后继续捡起他找到的任何东西，满足于他独特的收藏。)”以及第五段“Mom, these shells are broken, but they are still beautiful.(妈妈，这些贝壳是破碎的，但它们仍然很美。)”可知，Wilson 收集破碎的贝壳是因为它们的独特性。故选C项。 14．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Tears filled my eyes as I realized my son was teaching me an important lesson. I took out the perfect shells I had collected and placed them back on the beach. Wilson and I walked along, gathering only broken shells, and admiring their beauty.(当我意识到儿子给我上了重要的一课，泪水充满了我的眼睛。我拿出我收集的完美贝壳，把它们放回海滩。我和 Wilson 继续走着，只收集破碎的贝壳，并欣赏它们的美。)”可知，最后作者改变了对破碎贝壳的看法。故选B项。 15．推理判断题。通读全文可知，文章讲述了儿子收集破碎贝壳并发现其独特美的故事，告诉我们要有一颗感受美的心，才能发现事物独特的美。所以B选项Beauty is for a feeling heart.(美丽是为一颗有感情的心准备的。)符合语境。故选B项。 Passage 3 （23-24学年高三上·北京市西城区·期末） Jim Glaub and his wife just moved into their new Manhattan apartment on 22nd Street when the previous houseowner said something curious: “Just so you know, there’s this thing where letters addressed to Santa come to the apartment. It has been coming for years and no one knows why. But it’s not that big a deal. ” Then in the months leading to Christmas, letters from kids or parents to Santa came flooding in, asking for gifts they could not otherwise afford. Glaub and his wife responded to as many as they could, writing notes, even buying gifts. But they could do only so much. Glaub, of course, is not Santa. He runs a marketing company. But one night, when the couple threw a Christmas party, a solution appeared. The guests noticed the hundreds of letters they’d yet to act upon piled in the corner of their dining room and asked about them. “I told them the story, ” Glaub said. His guests were very interested. “A lot of people were like, ‘I’ll take a letter. I’ll fulfill it. ” And so was born Miracle on 22nd Street, a community-based volunteer organization that responds to children’s letters to Santa with season’s greetings and gifts. Working with other nonprofits that help those in need, Glaub invited families from around the country to go online and request gifts for their children. Meanwhile, donors can sign up to buy gifts for a child or family, accompanied by a signed note. Letters typically request popular items, such as toys, coats, a doll for little kids, makeup and bikes for older ones. One child suffering back pain from sleeping on the living room couch in a crowded household asked for a bed. Some letters are heartbreaking. One child wrote: “Dear Santa, for Christmas, I want my brother to get better. My younger brother has a hard time walking and has to use his wheelchair. I wish he could play like me.” That’s a tough ask. But Glaub did send the children gift cards and a kind note. Last year, Glaub and the organization helped more than 800 families. One beneficiary wrote: “…you gave my babies a reason to smile and enjoy their Christmas after everything we’ve been through. All I wanted was to see them happy and I got just what I wanted.” Glaub no longer tries to figure out why the letters come to the apartment. Putting in the long hours to help the families is what it’s all about for him. 16．At the beginning, what did the couple do with the letters to Santa? A．They paid no attention to them. B．They asked their guests to help. C．They just piled them in the corner. D．They responded to as many as possible. 17．Miracle on 22nd Street was set up to _____. A．let more people know their story B．get more needy families and donors involved C．find out why the letters came to the apartment D．provide a platform for people to express their appreciation 18．How will Glaub probably feel about what they did for the senders of the letters? A．Worthwhile. B．Relieved. C．Curious. D．Grateful. 【答案】16．D 17．B 18．A 【导语】本文为一篇记叙文，文章讲述了Glaub和妻子所租住的公寓会收到很多寄给圣诞老人的信件，他们邀请客人一起，建立了一个组织Miracle on 22nd Street，帮助写信人完成心愿的故事。 16．细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Glaub and his wife responded to as many as they could, writing notes, even buying gifts. But they could do only so much.(格劳布和他的妻子尽可能多地回复，写便条，甚至买礼物。但他们只能做这么多。)”可知，一开始这对夫妻回复了尽可能多的信。故选D项。 17．细节理解题。根据文章第五段“And so was born Miracle on 22nd Street, a community-based volunteer organization that responds to children’s letters to Santa with season’s greetings and gifts. Working with other nonprofits that help those in need, Glaub invited families from around the country to go online and request gifts for their children. Meanwhile, donors can sign up to buy gifts for a child or family, accompanied by a signed note.(于是，‘22街的奇迹’诞生了，这是一个以社区为基础的志愿者组织，用节日的问候和礼物回复孩子们给圣诞老人的信。格劳布与其他帮助有需要的人的非营利组织合作，邀请全国各地的家庭上网为他们的孩子要礼物。同时，捐赠者可以报名为孩子或家庭购买礼物，并附上一张签名的纸条。)”可知，“22街的奇迹”建立来让更多有需要的家庭和捐赠者参与进来。故选B项。 18．推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段“Last year, Glaub and the organization helped more than 800 families. One beneficiary wrote: “…you gave my babies a reason to smile and enjoy their Christmas after everything we’ve been through. All I wanted was to see them happy and I got just what I wanted. ”(去年，格劳布和该组织帮助了800多个家庭。一位受益人写道：‘……在我们经历了这么多之后，你给了我的孩子们一个微笑的理由，让他们享受圣诞节。我只想看到他们开心，我得到了我想要的。’)”及文章最后一段“Glaub no longer tries to figure out why the letters come to the apartment. Putting in the long hours to help the families is what it’s all about for him.(格劳布不再试图弄清楚为什么这些信会来到公寓。对他来说，花大把时间帮助这些家庭就是他的全部。)”可推知，Glaub会认为大家为寄信人做的一切都是值得的。故选A项。 主题03 人与社会——社会服务与人际沟通 Passage 1 （23-24学年高三上·北京市丰台区·期末） Mouth open in wonder and horror, Laurent Pelletier stares at the bush cricket that has landed in front of him on the picnic table. “Can we eat it?” he asks his mum. “Can I take it as a travel companion?” In early 2022, Laurent’s parents decided to quit their jobs. They took their four children, Mia, Léo, Colin, and Laurent, travelled over 52, 000 miles and visited 13 countries. Over the months, the world constantly unveiled (显露) itself. The kids played pat-a-cake with uniformed schoolchildren in Botswana, and while in Tanzania they tried African traditional dances with locals and stayed on a banana farm. In Thailand, they touched an elephant, calling out in surprise at how rough it felt. Rarely did they talk about why they were abroad in the first place, with one exception. While travelling along a dusty Mongolian highway last summer, Laurent, who had seemed unaware of what was to come, asked, “What does it mean to be blind? How will I cross the street? Will I be able to drive a car?” “It’s like when you have your eyes closed,” his mother said. “It won’t happen overnight, but slowly, over years. ”Being blind, she continued, didn’t mean the end of the world. Rather, the world would be different. Nothing would prevent them from doing most things, including skiing, swimming or even becoming scientists who worked on cures for their disease. Laurent nodded, then went back to making up his own games to pass the time. The four kids will become blind, likely in adulthood. They have a disease called retinitis pigmentosa (RP), a group of related eye disorders that cause progressive eyesight loss. By far, it has no effective treatment, and it will gradually take away their eyesight. However, their parents still want their kids to lead full lives, whether they’re blind or not. The trip has reinforced (增强) what they believe all these years-the kids will find their way. Each day, their parents watch the kids change, physically and emotionally. Laurent grows taller and needs more independence. Both Léo and Colin become more confident and outgoing, unafraid to engage with strangers. “Today, my eyesight is good and I’m going to make the most of it, ”says Mia. “Tomorrow, we will rise to the challenge. ” 19．According to the passage, what did the family experience on their trip? A．They did the farm work. B．They took elephant rides. C．They completed zoo tours. D．They enjoyed the folk dance. 20．What made Laurent’s parents decide to quit their jobs? A．Their kids’ health. B．Their work challenges. C．Their family dreams. D．Their passion for nature. 21．What did the trip mainly bring to the kids? A．Strong bodies. B．Social skills. C．Positive mindset. D．Language ability. 22．What can we mainly conclude from this passage? A．Travelling is to seek for an interesting life. B．Nothing is impossible to a determined heart. C．One’s potential cannot always be underrated. D．Treasure what you have and live life to the fullest. 【答案】19．D 20．A 21．C 22．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了劳伦特的父母带着他们的四个成年后会失明的孩子去环游世界，体现出一种要珍惜现在所拥有的并尽情享受生活的人生态度。 19．细节理解题。根据文章第二段“The kids played pat-a-cake with uniformed schoolchildren in Botswana, and while in Tanzania they tried African traditional dances with locals and stayed on a banana farm. (在博茨瓦纳，孩子们与穿制服的学童一起玩拍蛋糕游戏，在坦桑尼亚，他们与当地人一起尝试非洲传统舞蹈，并住在香蕉农场。)”可知，这家人很喜欢民间舞蹈。故选D项。 20．推理判断题。根据文章第二段“In early 2022, Laurent’s parents decided to quit their jobs.

(每天，他们的父母都看着孩子们在身体和情感上发生变。化)”可知，劳伦特的父母决定辞职是为了带孩子们去看世界，是为了让孩子们身心健康。故选A项。 21．推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Laurent grows taller and needs more independence. Both Léo and Colin become more confident and outgoing, unafraid to engage with strangers. “Today, my eyesight is good and I’m going to make the most of it, ”says Mia. “Tomorrow, we will rise to the challenge. ” (劳伦特长高了，需要更多的独立性。Léo和Colin都变得更加自信和外向，不怕与陌生人交往。米娅说：“今天，我的视力很好，我将充分利用它。明天，我们将迎接挑战。”)”可知，旅行让孩子们有非常积极的心态。故选C项。 22．主旨大意题。结合全文及文章第四段“However, their parents still want their kids to lead full lives, whether they’re blind or not. (然而，他们的父母仍然希望他们的孩子过上充实的生活，无论他们是否失明。)”可知，文章主要讲述劳伦特的父母带着他们的四个成年后会失明的孩子环游世界，体现出一种要珍惜现在所拥有的并尽情享受生活的人生态度。故选D项。 主题04 人与自我——做人与做事 Passage 1 （24-25学年高三上·北京市丰台区·期末） The great elephant stands in the hot African sun. Slowly the beast lifts its head and its thick trunk delicately curls around the leaves of a nearby tree, pulling out the leaves and politely slipping them into its mouth. The beast’s great grey skin is partly broken and aged from the African sun. Some mud drops on one side from its last trip to a nearby river. Its rough hair sticks out from all over its skin and two large, white tusks curve elegantly from either side of its mouth. Somewhere a lion roars and something else gives a loud high shout. A vulture (秃鹫) drifts over far above this world, barely a black dot in the sky. The buzzing of the countless bush insects seems to collectively shift up in high tune, almost like the whole of the savanna (热带草原) was singing some song that only they knew. I peer through the lens (镜头) at this scene. The zoom lens shows almost every detail of the elephant: the three small cuts in its left ear from playing as a baby around thorn trees, the scar down its front leg where a lion caught it unaware as a young adult, and weathering on its great, valuable tusks from decades of living in this unforgiving grassland on a dusty continent. And then the elephant looks at me. It looks at me with those big, eyelashed eyes with a warmth coming outwards from a vast, hidden depth there. I can suddenly feel its soul, and feel the line of elephants that came before this one, trailing back to the very beginnings of this great savanna. We will never understand what wonders this ancient being and its kind have seen and whispered to each other across the ages on this old, sacred grassland. It looks at me, and it looks through me and sees me. The elephant knows I am there. It always did. It is not running away, nor is it fighting. It accepts and forgives. It loves. But, mostly, it just feels sad. It feels sorry for me. I cannot do this anymore.

The zoom lens shows almost every detail of the elephant: the three small cuts in its left ear from playing as a baby around thorn trees, the scar down its front leg where a lion caught it unaware as a young adult, and weathering on its great, valuable tusks from decades of living in this unforgiving grassland on a dusty continent.( 我透过镜头看这个场景。变焦镜头几乎展示了这头大象的每一个细节：它的左耳上有三个小伤口，这是它小时候在荆棘树下玩耍时留下的，它的前腿上有一个伤疤，那是它年轻时被狮子在不知道的情况下抓住的，它那又大又珍贵的象牙上有几十年生活在这片尘土飞扬的大陆上无情的草原上的风化)”以及第六段中“It looks at me with those big, eyelashed eyes with a warmth coming outwards from a vast, hidden depth there. I can suddenly feel its soul, and feel the line of elephants that came before this one, trailing back to the very beginnings of this great savanna.( 它用那双长着睫毛的大眼睛看着我，从那巨大而隐蔽的深处发出一种温暖。我能突然感受到它的灵魂，感受到在这头大象之前的大象群，一直追溯到这片大草原的起源)”可推知，当作者透过镜头看的时候，他是深深感动并充满同情。故选A项。 25．推理判断题。根据最后一段“I take my eye off the sights and hand the gun back to my partner. “Let’s go home,” I said in a quiet voice, “let’s just go home.”(我把视线从瞄准具上移开，把枪还给了我的搭档。“我们回家吧，”我轻声说，“我们就回家吧。”)”可推知，作者最初打算猎杀大象。故选C项。 26．推理判断题。根据文章大意，尤其第六段中“I can suddenly feel its soul, and feel the line of elephants that came before this one, trailing back to the very beginnings of this great savanna. We will never understand what wonders this ancient being and its kind have seen and whispered to each other across the ages on this old, sacred grassland.( 我能突然感受到它的灵魂，感受到在这头大象之前的大象群，一直追溯到这片大草原的起源。我们永远无法理解，在这片古老而神圣的草原上，这只古老的生物和它的同类在多少世纪以来看到了什么奇迹，并彼此低语着什么)”和最后一段“I take my eye off the sights and hand the gun back to my partner. “Let’s go home,” I said in a quiet voice, “let’s just go home.”(我把视线从瞄准具上移开，把枪还给了我的搭档。“我们回家吧，”我轻声说，“我们就回家吧。”)”可推知，我们能从文章中领悟到自然可以净化我们的灵魂。故选B项。 Passage 2 （24-25学年高三上·北京市昌平区·期末） Juleus Ghunta is a published children’s author and award-winning poet. But growing up, he could barely read. Raised in a rural part of Western Jamaica, Ghunta and his brothers had limited resources to learn and play. “Life was very difficult for us,” he recalled. When Ghunta finally went to school, he couldn’t catch up on his reading skills. Since not only had he been kept home from school as a child, he had not been exposed to books. By the time he entered Grade Six, he could only spell his own name, but couldn’t make out words or read with understanding. The situation was made worse by a series of impatient teachers who made him feel worthless and upset. He struggled in school with a deep sense of loss. When Ghunta was about 12, a young teacher-in-training, whose name he does not recall, started a reading program for struggling students. Ghunta was the first to sign up. “The teacher was incredibly kind to me,” he said. “She was patient and creative, but did not ask anything of me except that I work hard and believe in myself.” Under her guidance, Ghunta’s reading skills started to improve and his sense of insufficiency began to lift. He graduated from elementary school with a number of academic awards. He went on to college, and later, graduate school. Today, he is the author of two children’s books, including Rohan Bullkin and the Shadows: A Story about ACEs and Hope, about overcoming difficult experiences in childhood. He’s now working on his first full-length collection of poetry. In 2010, Ghunta went back to his elementary school, inquiring the principal and teachers if the young teacher was still there, but failed. He hoped to meet her and thank her for seeing his potential. “I would love her to see the significant impact she has made on my life, and the ways in which I have carried this memory of her — the hope, the light, with me — and how it continues to be a source of joy.” 27．How did Ghunta feel in Grade Six? A．Astonished. B．Delighted. C．Relaxed. D．Depressed. 28．The young teacher influenced Ghunta mainly by _______. A．encouraging his independence B．building up his confidence C．inspiring his imagination D．developing his creativity 29．Ghunta went back to his elementary school in 2010 to ________. A．find inspirations for his books B．recall his pleasant time there C．thank his teacher face to face D．show off his achievements 30．What can we learn from this passage? A．Where there is a will, there is a way. B．Everything comes to those who wait. C．Encouragement can transform a life. D．Diligence is the mother of success. 【答案】27．D 28．B 29．C 30．C 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Juleus Ghunta曾经因为生活艰难，不仅小时候不上学，而且没有接触过书，于是到了六年级过得很艰难，多亏了一位老师的鼓励，建立了他的自信，改变了他的人生。 27．细节理解题。根据第二段“By the time he entered Grade Six, he could only spell his own name, but couldn’t make out words or read with understanding. The situation was made worse by a series of impatient teachers who made him feel worthless and upset. He struggled in school with a deep sense of loss.(当他进入六年级时，他只会拼写自己的名字，但不能辨认单词或阅读理解。一群不耐烦的老师让情况变得更糟，他们让他觉得自己毫无价值，心烦意乱。他带着深深的失落感在学校里挣扎)”可知，Ghunta在六年级时感到抑郁。故选D。 28．细节理解题。根据第三段“She was patient and creative, but did not ask anything of me except that I work hard and believe in myself.(她很有耐心，也很有创造力，但她对我没有任何要求，只是要求我努力学习，相信自己)”可知，这位年轻的老师主要通过建立他的信心来影响Ghunta。故选B。 29．细节理解题。根据最后一段“In 2010, Ghunta went back to his elementary school, inquiring the principal and teachers if the young teacher was still there, but failed. He hoped to meet her and thank her for seeing his potential. “I would love her to see the significant impact she has made on my life, and the ways in which I have carried this memory of her — the hope, the light, with me — and how it continues to be a source of joy.”(2010年，Ghunta回到了他的小学，询问校长和老师，这位年轻的老师是否还在那里，但没有回答。他希望能见到她，并感谢她看到了他的潜力。“我想让她看到她对我的生活产生的重大影响，以及我对她的记忆——希望和光明——的方式，以及它如何继续成为我快乐的源泉。”)”可知，Ghunta在2010年回到他的小学，当面感谢他的老师。故选C。 30．推理判断题。根据最后一段“I would love her to see the significant impact she has made on my life, and the ways in which I have carried this memory of her — the hope, the light, with me — and how it continues to be a source of joy.(我想让她看到她对我的生活产生的重大影响，以及我对她的记忆——希望和光明——的方式，以及它如何继续成为我快乐的源泉)”结合文章主要讲述了Juleus Ghunta曾经因为生活艰难，不仅小时候不上学，而且没有接触过书，于是到了六年级过得很艰难，多亏了一位老师的鼓励，建立了他的自信，改变了他的人生。可知，故事告诉我们鼓励可以改变一个人的生活。故选C。 主题05 人与自然——自然生态 Passage 1 （23-24学年高三上·北京市朝阳区·期末） Working at a bank in New York City in the mid-2010s, Anna Sacks was living the life-just not the life she wanted. Sure, she was happy. But she wanted to do something that felt important. Some people seeking meaning might read a self-help book or perhaps volunteer a few hours a week. Sacks packed up her life and moved to Connecticut to participate in Adamah, a farming program that focuses on sustainable living and growing sustainable food. When she returned to New York, her life was with a new purpose and a variety of new skills to make her dreams a reality. “One of the things that really stuck with me from Adamah was how little waste they produced and how they handled the waste they did have, primarily through composting (堆肥),” she says. “And I just thought, ‘Why aren’t we doing that here?’”“The Adamah program opened Sacks’ eyes to the damage consumer culture is doing on a local, national, and global level, and the need to find solutions. So in 2017, she began what she calls “trash walking”. During tours around her community, Sacks picks through garbage to look for reusable items. Soon, her “trash walking” expanded to include corporate trash along with residential trash. Surprisingly, she discovered a wide range of really great stuff-like clothing, decorations, and food-all of which she documents on TikTok. Under the name The Trash Walker, Sacks quickly gained popularity for her videos that highlight the problems with consumerism. “The root issue is overproduction, which leads to overconsumption, which leads to a large amount of waste,” she says. The fact is, companies often choose to trash items rather than give them away to people who might need them. A big reason for this waste is the way our current tax laws are structured, Sacks says. Sellers who destroy goods can claim the cost as a loss on their taxes and be refunded. If they give away goods, they can claim only a small amount as a charitable reduction on their taxes. Sacks’ main focus is simply getting people to pay attention to how many unnecessary things they buy and then throw away. “Once you become aware of the way you consume, you can see ways you improve,” she says. 31．Anna Sacks packed up her life and left New York to________. A．lead a healthy lifestyle B．observe how to grow food C．pursue a meaningful life D．volunteer to work in a bank 32．What impressed Anna Sacks most about the Adamah program? A．The importance of trash walking. B．The sustainable food people produced. C．The hard truth about consumer culture. D．The way people there dealt with the waste. 33．What makes companies prefer to throw out goods as trash? A．The tax reduction. B．The quality of goods. C．The tax refund. D．The overproduction. 34．What can we learn from Anna Sacks’ story? A．Consumer culture accounts for wasting. B．Corporate trash outweighs residential trash. C．Trash walking is the key to becoming wealthy. D．Turning to farming leads to sustainable living. 【答案】31．C 32．D 33．C 34．A 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。本文主要讲述了Anna Sacks的个人生活故事。她曾在纽约一家银行工作，虽然生活幸福但感觉缺乏重要性。她参加了农业项目Adamah，学习可持续生活和种植可持续食物，这改变了她的生活目标和技能，同时她开始关注消费文化带来的损害，并通过拣选垃圾来展示这个问题。她希望引起人们对于过度购买和浪费的关注，从而引发改变。 31．细节理解题。根据第一段中“Working at a bank in New York City in the mid-2010s, Anna Sacks was living the life-just not the life she wanted. Sure, she was happy. But she wanted to do something that felt important.( 2010年代中期 ，Anna Sacks在纽约市的一家银行工作，她过的生活不是她想要的生活。当然，她很高兴。但她想做点有意义的事。)”根据第二段“Sacks packed up her life and moved to Connecticut to participate in Adamah, a farming program that focuses on sustainable living and growing sustainable food.”（萨克斯结束了她的生活，搬到了康涅狄格州，参加了一个专注于可持续生活和种植可持续食物的农业项目Adamah。）可知，Anna Sacks离开纽约、参加Adamah农业项目是因为她想过有意义的生活。故选C。 32．细节理解题。根据第三段中““One of the things that really stuck with me from Adamah was how little waste they produced and how they handled the waste they did have, primarily through composting (堆肥), ” she says.( 她说：“Adamah让我印象深刻的是，他们产生的废物很少，而且他们是如何处理废物的，主要是通过堆肥。”)”可知，那里的人们处理废物的方式给Anna Sacks留下了最深的印象。故选D。 33．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“The fact is, companies often choose to trash items rather than give them away to people who might need them. A big reason for this waste is the way our current tax laws are structured, Sacks says.(事实是，公司经常选择丢弃物品而不是把它们送给可能需要它们的人。Sacks说，造成这种浪费的一个重要原因是我们现行税法的结构方式。)”以及“Sellers who destroy goods can claim the cost as a loss on their taxes and be refunded.(损坏货物的卖家可以将损失作为税收损失，并获得退款。)”可知，公司选择将商品当做垃圾丢弃而不是赠送给有需要的人，其中一个主要原因是当前税法结构。销售者可以将销毁商品的成本作为税务减免，并获得退款。故选C。 34．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Sacks’ main focus is simply getting people to pay attention to how many unnecessary things they buy and then throw away. “Once you become aware of the way you consume, you can see ways you improve,” she says.( Sacks的主要重点是让人们注意到他们买了多少不必要的东西，然后扔掉了。她说：“一旦你意识到自己的消费方式，你就能看到自己改善的方法。”)”以及通读全文可知，Anna Sacks的故事告诉我们，消费文化导致了过度生产、过度消费和大量的浪费。A选项“Consumer culture accounts for wasting.(消费文化造成了浪费。)”符合题意。故选A。 主题01 人与社会——历史、社会与文化 Passage 1 （23-24学年高三上·北京市海淀区·期末） In early 2018, I was training for the London Marathon—the first and only marathon I would ever run in my life. I had treated myself to an expensive fitness watch that tracked my time, pace and splits. At the end of my final training run—an exhausting 21 miles (34km) —I threw myself down on the floor the moment I got home, only to see my watch had failed me. Twenty-one miles briefly flashed on the screen before it went blank and disappeared for ever. I screamed in pain. That tragic image of me crying on my living room floor pretty much sums up my relationship with exercise tracking technology. It can be a total joy to watch your data change on running apps as you get stronger and faster. I once got a kick out of it, but at some point it became a stick I used to punish myself. I would watch my pace, compare it with other people’s or criticize myself for not doing it 30 seconds faster. I never really recognized exercise tracking as a problem. It seemed to me that tracking was the route to self-improvement, and the point was to improve, wasn’t it? The point was to be better. In the past year, the concept of “being better” has taken on a different meaning. My mental health dropped, and things that were once easy such as brushing my teeth became unimaginably difficult. Being better stopped meaning getting faster or stronger. It meant taking care of myself and feeling some joy in a day. Once I started getting better, I reflected on what in my life made me happy and what did not. So, I stopped tracking my runs and simply deleted years’ worth of data that was once very important to me and now meant nothing. What has become very clear to me since I quit tracking my runs is that I genuinely love doing them. I run around my local park with a silly little smile on my face. I love it so much. But I do not love running quickly. I do not like races. I do not want to be pushed to be faster. Things I notice about my runs now include: how my legs feel and how my mind feels afterwards-clear and focused. I notice dogs, the smell of the wild plants along the canal and the sunshine (OK, wind and rain) on my face. I am better. Or sometimes I am worse. But either way I’m slowly plodding along, and that’s good enough. 35．The author cried after the final training run because she ________. A．had to stop working out B．became physically worn out C．lost the data on the watch D．felt a sharp pain in the legs 36．The author used to view exercise tracking as ________. A．a fun hobby for enjoyment B．a strong need for recognition C．a method of escaping punishment D．a way of being a better runner 37．What does “being better” mean to the author now? A．Getting pleasure out of winning races. B．Being more focused on her life goal. C．Freeing herself from demanding tasks. D．Improving her overall well-being. 38．What can we conclude from this passage? A．Adjustment brings happiness. B．Passion is the key to success. C．Sports contribute to happiness. D．Success equals self-improvement. 【答案】35．C 36．D 37．D 38．A 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者曾经执着于通过运动跟踪数据来让自己变得更好，但这也导致作者变得不再快乐，于是作者删除了手表上的运动数据，开始专注于跑步时的感受，如今作者感到更加快乐了。 35．细节理解题。根据第二段“At the end of my final training run—an exhausting 21 miles (34km) —I threw myself down on the floor the moment I got home, only to see my watch had failed me. Twenty-one miles briefly flashed on the screen before it went blank and disappeared for ever. I screamed in pain. That tragic image of me crying on my living room floor pretty much sums up my relationship with exercise tracking technology.(在最后一次训练结束时——一段令人筋疲力尽的21英里（34公里）长跑——我一回到家就一头倒在地上，结果发现手表坏了。21英里在屏幕上闪了一下，然后就消失了，永远消失了。我痛苦地尖叫起来。我在客厅地板上哭泣的悲惨画面基本上概括了我与运动追踪技术的关系)”可知，作者在最后一次训练后哭了，因为她丢失了手表上的数据。故选C。 36．细节理解题。根据第三段“It can be a total joy to watch your data change on running apps as you get stronger and faster. I once got a kick out of it, but at some point it became a stick I used to punish myself. I would watch my pace, compare it with other people’s or criticize myself for not doing it 30 seconds faster. I never really recognized exercise tracking as a problem. It seemed to me that tracking was the route to self-improvement, and the point was to improve, wasn’t it? The point was to be better. (当你变得更强壮、更快时，看着你的数据在运行的应用程序上发生变化，这可能是一种完全的快乐。我曾经很喜欢它，但在某种程度上，它成了我用来惩罚自己的棍子。我会观察自己的速度，和别人比较，或者批评自己没有快30秒。我从未真正意识到运动追踪是个问题。在我看来，跟踪是自我提升的途径，而重点是提高，不是吗？关键是要变得更好)”可知，作者曾将运动跟踪视为成为更好的跑步者的一种方式。故选D。 37．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Things I notice about my runs now include: how my legs feel and how my mind feels afterwards-clear and focused. I notice dogs, the smell of the wild plants along the canal and the sunshine (OK, wind and rain) on my face.(我现在跑步时注意到的事情包括：我的腿感觉如何，以及跑步后我的思维感觉如何——清晰而专注。我注意到狗，运河边野生植物的气味和我脸上的阳光（好吧，风雨）)”可知，“变得更好”现在对作者来说意味着改善她的整体幸福感。故选D。 38．推理判断题。通读全文，并根据第四段“In the past year, the concept of “being better” has taken on a different meaning. My mental health dropped, and things that were once easy such as brushing my teeth became unimaginably difficult. Being better stopped meaning getting faster or stronger. It meant taking care of myself and feeling some joy in a day. Once I started getting better, I reflected on what in my life made me happy and what did not. So, I stopped tracking my runs and simply deleted years’ worth of data that was once very important to me and now meant nothing.(在过去的一年里，“变得更好”的概念有了不同的含义。我的心理健康状况下降了，以前很容易的事情，比如刷牙，变得难以想象地困难。变得更好不再意味着变得更快或更强。这意味着要照顾好自己，在一天中感受一些快乐。一旦我开始好转，我就会反思生活中什么让我快乐，什么让我不快乐。所以，我不再跟踪我的跑步，只是删除了多年来对我非常重要的数据，而现在这些数据对我来说毫无意义)”可知，文章主要讲述了作者曾经执着于通过运动跟踪数据来让自己变得更好，但这也导致作者变得不再快乐，于是作者删除了手表上的运动数据，开始专注于跑步时的感受，如今作者感到更加快乐了。由此推知，我们可从文章得知调整带来快乐。故选A。 Passage 2 （24-25学年高三上·北京市海淀区·期末） On a brisk October morning, with 20 pounds of gear on my back, I hiked up a steep, rocky trail. With each step, I felt my throat tighter and my lungs heave. This was an experiment. Growing up, my family’s annual “hikes” often left me weeping with exhaustion after only 2 miles. Decades later, I wondered, at the ripe age of 26, could I learn to love the outdoors? I decided to start in the deep end with this hiking. Prepared with weeks of exercise, I joined my group at the trailhead near the city border. An hour after setting off, I fell behind, not sure if I could make it. Frank, my hiking companion, slowed down to accompany me. “Look at the sky, the trees!” he exclaimed. Wheezing, I stopped to crane my neck. Nature in all its magnificence chose to show off. The wind whistled, rustling the yellow canopy overhead. Continuing on, I made a point to stop and look around every few minutes. Three hours later, we reached our campsite, a vast grassy area. Frank guided me through putting up my tent, a small victory after a challenging morning. We then sought our only water source, Sunfish Pond. Much to my annoyance, I repeatedly lost my footing and returned to camp after countless falls. At camp, I built a fire using only flint (火石) sticks. My cheap sleeping pad kept losing air, and my sleeping bag did little to keep the cold air out. Around 2 a.m. I teared up in frustration and lay sleepless. However, emerging from my tent into the misty morning, I felt my mood lifted. Autumn seemed to have kicked in overnight and the leaves glowed. I ate a breakfast of instant noodles and then joined the others, sharing intimate thoughts I usually kept hidden. Back at the trailhead where we started, my friend asked what we were grateful for. I piped up about the vulnerable and funny conversations I’d enjoyed with fellow hikers — and the space to reflect. The forest and its temporary dwellers had convinced me I was capable of much more than I thought possible. Did the experiment work? Memories of that sleepless, freezing night might give me pause before I crawl into a tent again. But that doesn’t mean I’m away from the woods completely. I returned to New York smelly and sore, but when I stepped off the bus into the city’s hustle and bustle, I also felt an unexpected calm. 39．Why did the author decide to go on a hiking trip? A．To improve his physical health. B．To escape from the fast-paced city life. C．To explore his potential for the outdoors. D．To revisit a childhood passion for hiking. 40．Which best describes the author’s emotional journey? ① amazed        ② doubtful        ③ annoyed        ④ peaceful        ⑤ uplifted A．③②⑤①④ B．②①③⑤④ C．②③①④⑤ D．③④②①⑤ 41．What has the author learned from the experience? A．Success lies in self-acceptance. B．Wilderness heals a broken heart. C．Small setbacks lead to great achievements. D．Nature gives more than expected. 【答案】39．C 40．B 41．D 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者为了探索自己的户外活动潜力，决定去徒步旅行，讲述了旅行的经过以及作者的内心变化。 39．细节理解题。根据第二段“This was an experiment. Growing up, my family’s annual “hikes” often left me weeping with exhaustion after only 2 miles. Decades later, I wondered, at the ripe age of 26, could I learn to love the outdoors? I decided to start in the deep end with this hiking.(这是一个实验。在成长过程中，我们家每年的“徒步旅行”经常让我在走了两英里后就筋疲力尽地哭泣。几十年后，我想知道，在26岁这个成熟的年龄，我能学会热爱户外吗？我决定从这次远足的最深处开始)”可知，作者为决定去徒步旅行是为了探索他在户外活动的潜力。故选C。 40．细节理解题。根据第二段“Decades later, I wondered, at the ripe age of 26, could I learn to love the outdoors?(几十年后，我想知道，在26岁这个成熟的年龄，我能学会热爱户外吗？)”可知，②“怀疑”排序第一，故排除A、D选项；根据最后一段“I returned to New York smelly and sore, but when I stepped off the bus into the city’s hustle and bustle, I also felt an unexpected calm.(我回到纽约，身上又臭又酸，但当我下了车，走进城市的喧嚣时，我也感到了一种意想不到的平静)”可知，④“平静”排序第五，故排除C选项。故作者的情感历程是怀疑、惊讶、恼火、振奋和平静。故选B。 41．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“I piped up about the vulnerable and funny conversations I’d enjoyed with fellow hikers — and the space to reflect. The forest and its temporary dwellers had convinced me I was capable of much more than I thought possible.(我滔滔不绝地讲述了我和徒步旅行者同伴们愉快的脆弱而有趣的谈话——以及反思的空间。森林和它的临时居民让我相信，我的能力远远超出了我的想象)”可知，作者从这次经历中学到了大自然给予的比预期的要多。故选D。 主题02 人与社会——文学、艺术与体育 Passage 1 （24-25学年高三上·北京市东城区·期末） Two years ago, fueled by my envy for those with gardens, I signed up for a plot, a place where I could read and write in the sun, safe from distractions. A few months ago, I was presented a half-plot of available land. The plot, which was bigger than I could dream of, was beautiful but overgrown — getting it started would require hard work. I wasn’t sure I had it in me. Fast forward to now. After seeking guidance from my family and watching beginners’ gardening videos, I spend hours a week sowing, weeding, watering and harvesting. My summer at the plot has so far offered countless lessons, but the most important one has been learning more about how food actually grows. Take the humble cauliflower — a common sight in the supermarket, yet it demands patient tending for up to six months, all for a short moment on the plate. Seasonality has also taken on a new meaning. I knew that all fresh food has its “season” but it was only when I was overwhelmed by an endless supply of courgettes that I really understood I could be eating them for months. Yet abundant harvests come with a lesson in impermanence. Fresh produce goes off quickly once ripened and picked. And so I’ve turned to the old craft of preservation — learning what to boil and freeze, or make into jam — to make things last. When the harvest has been more than I can manage, I’ve shared the abundance with friends and family, spreading the joy. While gardening is a welcome escape from the chaos of the modern world, you can’t avoid the reality of the climate crisis. It’s one thing to read these in the news or see them reflected in prices, but it’s quite another when you have to be in tune with weather patterns, praying for prolonged sunshine without the unbearable heat. As I continue to tend my plot, I do so with a sense of humility, wonder and excitement. What started as a desire for a small patch of green has grown into something much more significant — a connection to my local environment, a respect for the food I eat and an awareness of the fragile natural systems that sustain us. In the beginning, I was worried I would fail the plot; instead, I’m finding myself growing alongside it. 42．How did the author feel when getting the plot? A．Proud but anxious. B．Grateful but puzzled. C．Amazed but worried. D．Moved but disappointed. 43．While working on the plot, the author learned to __________. A．remove chaos from life B．create seasonal recipes C．identify common plants D．respect laws of nature 44．What does the author’s experience tell us? A．Labor is the most reliable wealth. B．Every season brings its own lessons. C．The land is made better and so is the gardener. D．One should stay hungry for constant progress. 【答案】42．C 43．D 44．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者与花园结缘的经历，以及这段经历给作者带来的感悟和成长。 42．推理判断题。根据第一段中“The plot, which was bigger than I could dream of, was beautiful but overgrown — getting it started would require hard work. I wasn’t sure I had it in me.(这块地比我想象的要大，很美，但杂草丛生——要开始耕种需要付出艰苦的努力。我不确定自己是否有这个能力)”可知，作者发现这块地比想象的要大，很美，他感到惊讶(amazed)，但它杂草丛生，需要付出艰苦的努力，所以又担心(worried)自己无法胜任。故选C项。 43．推理判断题。根据第二段中“My summer at the plot has so far offered countless lessons, but the most important one has been learning more about how food actually grows.(我在这块地上的夏天到目前为止给我带来了无数的教训，但最重要的一个是更多地了解了食物是如何生长的)”和最后一段中“What started as a desire for a small patch of green has grown into something much more significant — a connection to my local environment, a respect for the food I eat and an awareness of the fragile natural systems that sustain us.(起初只是想要一小块绿地，现在已经变成了更重要的事情 —— 与我当地的环境建立联系，尊重我所吃的食物，意识到维持我们生存的脆弱的自然系统)”可知，在耕种这块地的过程中，作者了解了食物是如何生长，学会尊重食物，意识到维持我们生存的脆弱自然系统，即学会了尊重自然规律。故选D项。 44．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“What started as a desire for a small patch of green has grown into something much more significant — a connection to my local environment, a respect for the food I eat and an awareness of the fragile natural systems that sustain us. In the beginning, I was worried I would fail the plot; instead, I’m finding myself growing alongside it.(最初只是对一小块绿地的渴望，现在已经发展成为更有意义的东西——与我所在地的环境的联系，对我所吃的食物的尊重，以及对维持我们的脆弱自然系统的认识。一开始，我担心自己会失败；相反，我发现自己也在和它一起成长)”可知，作者的经历告诉我们，土地变得更好，园丁也是如此，即人与土地是相互促进，共同成长的。故选C项。 Passage 2 （23-24学年高三上·北京市东城区·期末） When I first heard about the improv(即兴表演) classes, I was torn. As an introvert, I feared getting on stage and improvising in front of strangers. However, I knew I wanted to work as a science communicator after finishing my Ph.D．, so it seemed like the perfect opportunity to improve my speaking ability and gain confidence thinking on my feet. During our first class, we learned a core concept of improv: “yes, and.” It means that, as improvisers, we accept what fellow performers say. If someone says that rhinos(犀牛) are librarians, for example, then rhinos are librarians. We do not question the logic; we say “yes” and continue with the scene as if no him is wrong. I got a taste of how difficult that was when acting out my first scene. My classmate turned to me and said, “Mom is going to be so mad.” Mad about what? My mind spun out ideas, and my inner critic shot them all down. We broke the car? No, that’s too easy. We failed a test? No, you don’t want your classmates thinking you’re stupid on the first day. I finally landed on an answer: “Yes, we’re going to be late for dinner.” The scene proceeded from there, and we eventually finished as two sisters who lost their way on a hiking trail. The first few scenes were hard, but as weeks turned into months, I became more comfortable thinking on my feet and even started to enjoy our classes. I never silenced my inner critic entirely, but over time, I didn’t police my words with quite so much effort. I also became better at listening, relating to my conversation partners, and communicating clearly in the moment. That training proved useful 6 months ago, when my experiments generated unreasonable data. Early on in graduate school, I would get stuck when this happened; my inner critic would assume I had made a mistake. But then, after embracing the “yes, and” concept, instead of getting discouraged, I kept exploring the data and ended up identifying a new type of cell—one that wasn’t behaving as expected. If I hadn’t accepted the possibility that the results were real, I would have missed out on the most exciting finding of my Ph.D．so far. All scientists can benefit from this lesson. If the data say rhinos are librarians, then it’s worth investigating whether rhinos are, in fact, librarians. Our job as scientists isn’t to generate data that support a preconceived(预想的) story. Our job is to say “yes, and.” 45．Why did the author take the improv classes? A．To improve her logical mind. B．To finish her Ph. D．assignment. C．To develop her communication skills. D．To pursue her interest in performance. 46．How did the author feel during the first scene? A．Conflicted. B．Bored. C．Discouraged. D．Embarrassed. 47．According to the author, in her experiments, “yes, and” helped her ______. A．accept failures B．make a new discovery C．make up for a mistake D．correct unreasonable data 48．What can we learn from this passage? A．The unknown can be an inspiration. B．The unexpected can be rewarding, C．The unfortunate can be a chance. D．The unusual can be decisive. 【答案】45．C 46．A 47．B 48．B 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者为提高自己的表达能力参加了一个即兴表演课程，在该课程中学习到了“是的，而且”原则，并将该原则应用到了自己的实验研究中，使得自己获得了意外的发现。 45．细节理解题。根据文章第一段内容“However, I knew I wanted to work as a science communicator after finishing my Ph.D., so it seemed like the perfect opportunity to improve my speaking ability and gain confidence thinking on my feet.(然而，我知道我想在完成博士学位后成为一名科学传播者，所以这似乎是提高我的口语能力和获得自信的绝佳机会。)”可知，作者想通过该课程提高口语能力和获得自信。故选C项。 46．细节理解题。根据文章第三段内容“I got a taste of how difficult that was when acting out my first scene.(当我表演我的第一场戏时，我体会到了这有多困难。)”以及作者心理活动的描写“Mad about what? My mind spun out ideas, and my inner critic shot them all down. We broke the car? No, that’s too easy. We failed a test? No, you don’t want your classmates thinking you’re stupid on the first day.(生气什么？我的脑子里涌现出各种想法，但我内心的批判者把它们都否决了。我们把车弄坏了？不，那太简单了。我们考试不及格？不，你不想让你的同学在第一天就觉得你很蠢。)”可知，作者进行第一场即兴表演时体会到了即兴表演其实很难，在同学提出了话题之后对接下来的表演感到不知所措，很矛盾。故选A项。 47．细节理解题。根据文章第五段内容“But then, after embracing the ‘yes, and’ concept, instead of getting discouraged, I kept exploring the data and ended up identifying a new type of cell—one that wasn’t behaving as expected.(但是，在接受了“是的，而且”的概念之后，我没有气馁，而是继续探索数据，最终发现了一种新的细胞——一种不像预期的那样表现的细胞。)”可知，作者接受了“是的，而且”概念后，在做实验时没有气馁，继续探索，从而发现了一种新的细胞，即，这个概念帮助作者在实验中获得了新发现。故选B项。 48．推理判断题。根据文章末尾段内容“Our job as scientists isn’t to generate data that support a preconceived story. Our job is to say ‘yes, and.’(作为科学家，我们的工作不是生成支持一个先入为主的故事的数据。我们的工作是说“是的，而且。”)”可知，作者用自己的亲身经历讲述了“是的，而且”带给自己的体验：作为科学家应该接受不可预测，有可能会带来意想不到的收获。由此可推知，通过该文章可以推理出B项“The unexpected can be rewarding.(意想不到的事情可能是有益的。)”。故选B项。 主题03 人与自我——生活与学习 Passage 1 （23-24学年高三上·北京市房山区·期末） Paul Durietz is a 76-year-old social studies teacher from Illinois. On September 1, he set a Guinness World Record for the world’s longest teaching career. He has been teaching for 53 years-since he was 23 years old. Mr. Durietz became interested in history after hearing stories from his father. He made up his mind about becoming a social studies teacher when he was just 11 years old, mainly because of his love of history. Mr. Durietz got his first teaching job at Woodland Middle School in Gurnee, Illinois in 1970. Ever since then, he’s been teaching social studies at the same school. For him, teaching is never boring because every day is different. He loves sharing his knowledge of history with students. Things have changed a lot since he began all those years ago. When he started, he wrote on a blackboard with chalk, and the students used paper textbooks. These days, he and the students use computers and digital whiteboards. Though technology has changed a lot, in Mr. Durietz’s eyes, the students are still pretty much the same-except that now they have cell phones. And with or without technology, Mr. Durietz has used creative activities to help his students learn. For example, he has organized virtual field trips, geography contests, and special days about the US Civil War. To help his students learn about politics, he has even organized mock (模拟的) elections at school, which his students enjoyed most. For much of his 53 years as a teacher, Mr. Durietz has been in charge of the social studies program at Woodland. In that time, he has helped to guide over 20 other social studies teachers at the school. To his extreme pride, he has even had students come back and tell him that they became history teachers because of him. Mr. Durietz wasn’t really trying to set a record. He was just doing what he loved. He has no plans to retire any time soon. He hopes to break his own record. He also hopes to set another record as the teacher who’s worked the longest at the same school. “Keep working on what you love to do in life,” he always says. 49．Mr. Durietz received an award from Guinness for ______. A．being the oldest teacher in Illinois B．being the best social studies teacher C．having the longest years of teaching D．working 53 years at the same school 50．What has made Mr. Durietz most proud of his work? A．Sharing his knowledge of history. B．Students enjoying the mock elections. C．Guiding over 20 other teachers at Woodland. D．Students following his example to be teachers. 51．According to the passage, which word can best describe Mr. Durietz? A．Passionate. B．Generous. C．Ambitious. D．Confident. 52．What can we conclude from this passage? A．One is never too old to learn. B．Be famous as young as possible. C．You have got to like what you do. D．When work is a pleasure, life is joy. 【答案】49．C 50．D 51．A 52．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。通过描述社会学教师Paul Durietz的教育生涯、他的教学方法以及对教育的热情来展示他的故事。 49．细节理解题。根据文章第一段中“On September 1, he set a Guinness World Record for the world’s longest teaching career. He has been teaching for 53 years-since he was 23 years old. (9月1日，他创造了世界上最长的教学生涯的吉尼斯世界纪录。他从23岁开始教书53年。)”可知，Mr. Durietz因最长的教学年限获得了吉尼斯奖，故选C项。 50．细节理解题。根据文章第七段中“To his extreme pride, he has even had students come back and tell him that they became history teachers because of him. (令他极度自豪的是，他甚至有学生回来告诉他，他们因为他而成为历史老师。)”可知，Mr. Durietz最自豪的是学生以他为榜样成为老师。故选D项。 51．推理判断题。根据文章第三段中“For him, teaching is never boring because every day is different. He loves sharing his knowledge of history with students. (对他来说，教学从不无聊，因为每一天都不一样。他喜欢与学生分享他的历史知识。)”可知，Mr. Durietz是一个有充满热情的人，故选A项。 52．推理判断题。根据文章第八段中“Mr. Durietz wasn’t really trying to set a record. He was just doing what he loved. (杜里茨并不是真的想创造纪录。他只是在做他喜欢的事情。)”以及““Keep working on what you love to do in life,” he always says. (“继续努力做你喜欢做的事情，”他总是说。)”可知，当工作是一种乐趣时，生活就是快乐的，故选D项。 Passage 2 （24-25学年高三上·北京市西城区·期末） After the deadly hurricane in October, Taylor Schenker, who lives in Canton, North Carolina, near hard-hit Asheville, went for a walk with her friend to check out the homes destroyed in the disaster. “We spent about four hours digging through the mud, looking for any belongings we could find,” Schenker said. During the process, she found some photographs that didn’t belong to them and laid them out, hoping they could be reunited with their owners. Schenker said that thinking about the photos she had left behind kept her up that night. She was afraid that if it rained or the wind blew, the photos wouldn’t be able to be reunited with their families. The next day, Schenker went back to collect the photos and ended up finding more — about 200 of them — containing school portraits, birthday cards, and images of childhood friends and families on vacation. She said it was clear that the photos belonged to multiple families, and she understood how special such memories could be to them. Realizing how many important family memories she now had in her possession, she created the Photos from Helene page — a virtual lost-and-found where people could recognize and reclaim their photos. She hoped people would recognize the photos on her page and that word of mouth would help reunite them with their rightful owners. Schenker took the photos home, cleaned them off, and organized them into folders and bins for safekeeping until they could be returned to their owners. Schenker mailed photos to people who were no longer in the area, but she also hand-delivered those that belonged to families who still lived nearby. Each reunion served as a heartwarming reminder of the importance of her work. In one instance, Becky Tate and her daughter both recognized their photos on the online page. Tate’s daughter, Nancy, commented that her mom was in tears when they made the discovery. “The process is definitely fulfilling,” Schenker said. “It’s enjoyable to witness the moment when a photograph is returned to its rightful owner, and to observe people in the comments mentioning each other and sharing their thoughts and saying, ‘Oh my gosh, you just reminded me of this moment in my life that I had totally forgotten about.’” She said she chose the name for her page because most of the photos they’ve seen come out of the hurricane show the devastation (破坏) left behind—but her Photos from Helene are happy memories of Asheville and the lives there. 53．What can we know about the photos on Schenker’s page? A．They were all proof of the hurricane. B．They were seriously damaged in the storm. C．They were left behind by some families on purpose. D．They were discovered in areas impacted by the hurricane. 54．Which sentence best expresses Schenker’s motivation for her page? A．“The hurricane destroyed everything in its path.” B．“I wanted to clean the photos and keep them as memories.” C．“I realized how important these photos must be to someone.” D．“It was just so sad to see so many photos spread and damaged.” 55．Why were Schenker’s actions important after the hurricane? A．They gave comfort to those affected. B．They inspired others to volunteer and help. C．They provided supplies to families in need. D．They raised awareness of survivors’struggles. 56．Which of the following words can best describe Schenker? A．Curious. B．Caring. C．Ambitious. D．Adventurous. 【答案】53．D 54．C 55．A 56．B 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道，主要报道了在北卡罗来纳州坎顿经历了一场致命飓风后，Taylor Schenker帮助寻找并归还受灾居民遗失的照片的故事。 53．细节理解题。根据第一段“After the deadly hurricane in October (10月那场致命的飓风过后)”和第二段““We spent about four hours digging through the mud, looking for any belongings we could find,” Schenker said. During the process, she found some photographs that didn’t belong to them and laid them out, hoping they could be reunited with their owners.(“我们花了大约四个小时在泥浆中挖掘，寻找我们能找到的任何东西，”Schenker说。在这个过程中，她发现了一些不属于它们的照片，并把它们放了出来，希望它们能和它们的主人团聚。)”可知，Schenker页面上的照片是在受飓风影响的地区被发现的。故选D。 54．推理判断题。根据第三段“She said it was clear that the photos belonged to multiple families, and she understood how special such memories could be to them.(她说，很明显，这些照片属于多个家庭，她明白这样的记忆对他们来说有多特别。)”和第四段“She hoped people would recognize the photos on her page and that word of mouth would help reunite them with their rightful owners.(她希望人们能认出她页面上的照片，并希望口口相传能帮助它们与真正的主人团聚。)”可知，Schenker创建网页是因为她意识到那些照片对那些人很重要，所以最能表达她的目的的句子是““I realized how important these photos must be to someone.”(“我意识到这些照片对某人来说有多重要。”)”。故选C。 55．推理判断题。根据第五段“Schenker mailed photos to people who were no longer in the area, but she also hand-delivered those that belonged to families who still lived nearby. Each reunion served as a heartwarming reminder of the importance of her work.(Schenker把照片寄给那些已经不在这个地区的人，但她也亲手把那些仍然住在附近的家庭的照片寄给他们。每次团聚都温馨地提醒着她工作的重要性。)”可知，Schenker在飓风过后的行动如此重要是因为它们安慰那些受影响的人。故选A。 56．推理判断题。根据第二段“Schenker said that thinking about the photos she had left behind kept her up that night. She was afraid that if it rained or the wind blew, the photos wouldn’t be able to be reunited with their families.(Schenker说，一想到她留下的照片，她那天晚上就睡不着觉。她担心如果下雨或刮风，这些照片就不能和家人团聚了。)”和第四段“Realizing how many important family memories she now had in her possession, she created the Photos from Helene page—a virtual lost-and-found where people could recognize and reclaim their photos.(意识到她现在拥有了多少重要的家庭记忆，她创建了“海伦的照片”页面——一个虚拟的失物招领处，人们可以在这里识别和收回他们的照片。)”可推知，Schenker是一个关心他人的人。故选B。 Passage 3 （24-25学年高三上·北京市石朝阳区·期末） Nici Mense, the New York Jets’ first full-time dietitian, faces the demanding task of managing the daily nutritional needs of professional athletes. Recently, she has successfully completed her seventh season with the team. Properly fueling players so that they feel the difference in their performance is something she learned while playing soccer at university. “I found soccer to be more demanding on my body than I had expected, and I needed to maintain my energy through proper nutrition to match my performance on the field, ” she said. “This realization changed my perspective. I’ve always loved sports and food, so combining the two made the most sense. ” Mense joined the New York Jets and has stayed in tune with the team’s schedule. “My hours vary from time to time, ” she said. “It’s the busiest during training camp through the end of the season. We will work seven days a week unless it’s our bye week, when we don’t play a game during the season. We ensure players fuel properly before, during and after practice. They receive recovery shakes, snacks and fruit for post-practice recovery. While they are in training throughout the day, that’s my time to plan for the weeks ahead. ” Occasionally, athletes need a warm-up period when working with a dietitian. “It can be quite challenging to prove that dietitians are here to help them and that we are not the food police, ” said Mense. “There are times when a player doesn’t listen to the education and injures themselves. But it’s always so awesome to see when it works for them. ” Nevertheless, Mense feels fulfilled in her role and continues to push the athletes, knowing that nutrition is key to fueling performance, recovery and long-term health. Mense describes herself as “obsessed” with her field, constantly evolving and gaining knowledge. “If I am the same dietitian three years from now, then I am doing something wrong, ” she declared. “The more open-minded I am, and the more I am able to learn as a professional, the better I can help athletes with their goals. ” By staying at the forefront of her field, Mense provides athletes with essential nutrition strategies to support their performance, recovery, and long-term health. With her dedication and expertise, it’s clear that professional athletes are truly eating their way to victory. 57．What motivated Nici Mense to choose her career? A．Her urge to make life changes. B．Her experience of playing soccer. C．Her admiration for athletes’ spirits. D．Her dream of being a professional athlete. 58．What can we learn about Nici Mense? A．She keeps her professional knowledge updated. B．Her priority is to provide post-game recovery meals. C．She works seven days a week during the season period. D．Her working hours are fixed throughout the entire season. 59．Nici Mense sometimes finds it hard to work with athletes because they _________. A．put their personal interests first B．complain about their unhealthy diet C．disagree about their training schedule D．doubt the role of a dietitian in their team 60．Which words can best describe Nici Mense? A．Determined and generous. B．Humble and innovative. C．Talkative and open-minded. D．Enthusiastic and committed. 【答案】57．B 58．A 59．D 60．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了纽约喷气机队营养师尼西・门斯，包括其职业选择缘由、工作内容及自身专业态度等。 57．细节理解题。根据第二段“Properly fueling players so that they feel the difference in their performance is something she learned while playing soccer at university. ‘I found soccer to be more demanding on my body than I had expected, and I needed to maintain my energy through proper nutrition to match my performance on the field,’ she said. ‘This realization changed my perspective. I’ve always loved sports and food, so combining the two made the most sense.’(给运动员合理补充能量，让他们感受到自身表现的差异，这是她在大学踢足球时学到的。她说：‘我发现足球对我身体的要求比我预期的要高，我需要通过合理的营养来保持能量，以匹配我在球场上的表现。这种认识改变了我的看法。我一直热爱体育和美食，所以将两者结合起来是最合理的。’)”可知，是她大学踢足球时的经历让她意识到营养对运动表现的重要性，从而促使她选择了现在的职业。故选B项。 58．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Mense describes herself as ‘obsessed’ with her field, constantly evolving and gaining knowledge. ‘If I am the same dietitian three years from now, then I am doing something wrong, ’ she declared. ‘The more open-minded I am, and the more I am able to learn as a professional, the better I can help athletes with their goals. ’(门斯称自己对自己的领域‘着迷’，不断发展并获取知识。她宣称：‘如果三年后我还是同一个营养师，那我就做错了。我越开明，作为一名专业人士我能学到的越多，我就能越好地帮助运动员实现他们的目标。’)”可知，门斯不断更新自己的专业知识。故选A项。 59．细节理解题。根据第四段“Occasionally, athletes need a warm-up period when working with a dietitian. ‘It can be quite challenging to prove that dietitians are here to help them and that we are not the food police,’ said Mense.(偶尔，运动员在与营养师合作时需要一个磨合阶段。门斯说：‘要证明营养师是来帮助他们的，而我们不是‘食物警察’，这可能相当具有挑战性。’)”可知，有时运动员会怀疑营养师在团队中的作用，觉得营养师像“食物警察”一样限制他们。故选D项。 60．推理判断题。从文中门斯在纽约喷气机队多年，用心满足运动员营养需求，称自己对领域“着迷”，不断更新知识等内容，比如倒数第二段“Mense describes herself as ‘obsessed’ with her field, constantly evolving and gaining knowledge.(Mense 称自己对自己的领域‘着迷’，不断发展并获取知识)”以及最后一段的“ With her dedication and expertise, it’s clear that professional athletes are truly eating their way to victory.(凭借她的奉献精神和专业知识，很明显，职业运动员真的是靠吃来取得胜利的。)”她始终致力于通过营养助力运动员表现、恢复和健康等方面，能看出她对工作充满热情且尽心尽力，可用Enthusiastic and committed来形容她。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学年高三上·北京市石景山区·期末） In the summer of 2024, instead of travelling, Aurora and her school-aged daughters, Shay and Anna, spent their vacation at home. Aurora had lost her driver’s license due to careless driving, so they were unable to go far from their home in Redvers. However, Spooky, their pet cat, managed to take an international journey. Initially, Aurora wasn’t overly concerned when Spooky didn’t return on July 22. “I thought he would turn up in one of our cupboards,” she recalls. “That said, we do live close to the highway, so I was a bit nervous that he might have been hit by a vehicle.” As it turned out, Spooky had climbed into the engine bay of a parked truck. When the truck departed, Spooky became a stowaway (偷渡者). Somehow, he remained unharmed in that narrow space full of wires and pipes while the vehicle drove 143 miles across the border from North Dakota to Manitoba and back to North Dakota again. The following night, July 23, the truck’s driver opened the bonnet (引擎盖) to perform a routine maintenance check. A pair of bright eyes stared up, surprising him. His unexpected passenger was wearing a rabies vaccination (狂犬病接种) tag that listed the phone number for a pet hospital. Meanwhile, there were lots of tears in Aurora’s home. “My daughters were extremely sad,” she says. “Spooky means the world to us.” He had been missing for about 24 hours when the kids went to bed on July 23. It was late that evening when Aurora received a call from Spooky’ s vet, who told her the missing cat had been found in North Dakota. On July 24, Shay and Anna went to pick up Spooky with Aurora. “As the truck pulled up, my girls were jumping for joy,” Aurora says. Besides feeling grateful for strangers’ good deeds, Aurora was amused that Spooky had crossed the border at a time when it was closed to everyone except essential traffic. Nowadays, Spooky doesn’t tend to wander far from home. He always stays close to the front steps and takes in the warm sunset with his eyes half-closed in contentment. 1．What was Aurora’s first reaction when Spooky didn’t return home? A．She went to search for him immediately. B．She wasn’t too worried about his missing. C．She didn’t believe he’d gone on the highway.

Each week, I would come home with a book different from the one in the library. I would soon begin to write my own. I was shy and introverted, and I never showed anyone my work. So, when Mrs. Spica asked us to write a short story based on a book that we recently read, I was nervous. My writings were personal. Now, I had to expose my works to others, and my creations would be judged and graded. I felt uneasy. However, I pushed through my discomfort and wrote a story. I was unsure if I was any good, but I got an A+ with a note saying “Have you ever thought about being a writer? You have so much potential.” In general, I am poor at receiving feedback. If it is negative, I end up feeling discouraged. If it is positive, I dismiss the comments as incorrect. So when Mrs. Spica told me all those encouraging words, I could not compute. Then, when the dream job assignment rolled around, she put action behind her encouraging words. Somehow, she found a way for me to connect with one of my favorite authors. All I had to do was call him at the appointed time. I felt my heartbeat quicken as I heard the voice on the other line. We spent the next hour talking about the author’s inspirations for his books, my deep appreciation and tips to improve my writing, but I remember nothing in details. What I do remember is to continue writing. 8．What was the essay assigned by Mrs. Spica about? A．A famous person’s life. B．Skills of writing stories. C．An interview with a writer. D．The student’s dream job. 9．What did the author do when asked to write a story? A．He hesitated to accept it. B．He turned to others for help. C．He avoided showing his ability. D．He borrowed a book from the library. 10．How did the author feel after getting the feedback from Mrs. Spica? A．Uncertain. B．Proud. C．Confident. D．Unconcerned. 11．What can we learn from the passage?

Passage 2 （24-25学年高三上·北京市房山区·期末） On a warm afternoon at the shore, my four-year-old son, Wilson, and I headed to the beach, our favorite evening escape. The sun was still bright as Wilson happily raced to the water’s edge, letting the waves wet him. It’s hard to believe that not long ago, his sensitivities from autism (自闭症) kept him from approaching the beach. After years of treatment, he now loves our seaside adventures, which fills me with joy. We used to look for seashells to fill our bucket (桶). On this day, there didn’t seem to be too many shells washed up on the shore. As we collected seashells, I searched for perfect ones, while Wilson filled our bucket with broken pieces. I wondered why he was doing that. When I suggested finding whole shells, he simply gave me a puzzled look and continued picking up whatever he found, content with his unique collection. I continued my search for a while and then stopped to watch him place more broken shells into the bucket. Again, I stopped, but this time I asked in a firm voice, “Wilson, why do you keep filling our bucket with shells that are broken?” He looked up at me and said, “Mom, there are more broken shells on the beach than perfect ones. We’ll fill the bucket faster with these broken ones.” True, I thought, but who wants a bucketful of broken shells? Wilson stared at me and said, “Mom, these shells are broken, but they are still beautiful.” “You’re right, Wilson,” I replied. “And, Mom, this one looks like a smile when you hold it this way,” he said as he reached for another broken shell. “It reminds me of a clown. This one is round like the sun.” Tears filled my eyes as I realized my son was teaching me an important lesson. I took out the perfect shells I had collected and placed them back on the beach. Wilson and I walked along, gathering only broken shells, and admiring their beauty. Back at our beach house, we washed the shells and proudly displayed our “broken shell garden”. It reminded us that none of us are perfect, but we all have unique beauty. Now, we collect only broken shells, finding beauty in their imperfections and learning from them. 12．How did the author feel upon seeing her son’s collection of broken shells at first? A．Annoyed. B．Confused. C．Inspired. D．Amused. 13．According to this passage, it is clear that ________. A．Wilson preferred to collect shells with his mother slowly B．broken shells were more beautiful than whole shells C．Wilson collected broken shells for their uniqueness D．broken shells reminded Wilson of his illness 14．In the end, the author ________. A．encouraged her son to find faults in shells B．changed her view on broken shells C．blamed her son for being unique D．kept her belief in perfection 15．What can we learn from this passage? A．No sweet without sweat. B．Beauty is for a feeling heart. C．Don’t put all your eggs in one basket. D．A shell in the hand is worth two in the sea. Passage 3 （23-24学年高三上·北京市西城区·期末） Jim Glaub and his wife just moved into their new Manhattan apartment on 22nd Street when the previous houseowner said something curious: “Just so you know, there’s this thing where letters addressed to Santa come to the apartment. It has been coming for years and no one knows why. But it’s not that big a deal. ” Then in the months leading to Christmas, letters from kids or parents to Santa came flooding in, asking for gifts they could not otherwise afford. Glaub and his wife responded to as many as they could, writing notes, even buying gifts. But they could do only so much. Glaub, of course, is not Santa. He runs a marketing company. But one night, when the couple threw a Christmas party, a solution appeared. The guests noticed the hundreds of letters they’d yet to act upon piled in the corner of their dining room and asked about them. “I told them the story, ” Glaub said. His guests were very interested. “A lot of people were like, ‘I’ll take a letter. I’ll fulfill it. ” And so was born Miracle on 22nd Street, a community-based volunteer organization that responds to children’s letters to Santa with season’s greetings and gifts. Working with other nonprofits that help those in need, Glaub invited families from around the country to go online and request gifts for their children. Meanwhile, donors can sign up to buy gifts for a child or family, accompanied by a signed note. Letters typically request popular items, such as toys, coats, a doll for little kids, makeup and bikes for older ones. One child suffering back pain from sleeping on the living room couch in a crowded household asked for a bed. Some letters are heartbreaking. One child wrote: “Dear Santa, for Christmas, I want my brother to get better. My younger brother has a hard time walking and has to use his wheelchair. I wish he could play like me.” That’s a tough ask. But Glaub did send the children gift cards and a kind note. Last year, Glaub and the organization helped more than 800 families. One beneficiary wrote: “…you gave my babies a reason to smile and enjoy their Christmas after everything we’ve been through. All I wanted was to see them happy and I got just what I wanted.” Glaub no longer tries to figure out why the letters come to the apartment. Putting in the long hours to help the families is what it’s all about for him. 16．At the beginning, what did the couple do with the letters to Santa? A．They paid no attention to them. B．They asked their guests to help. C．They just piled them in the corner. D．They responded to as many as possible. 17．Miracle on 22nd Street was set up to _____. A．let more people know their story B．get more needy families and donors involved C．find out why the letters came to the apartment D．provide a platform for people to express their appreciation 18．How will Glaub probably feel about what they did for the senders of the letters? A．Worthwhile. B．Relieved. C．Curious. D．Grateful. 主题03 人与社会——社会服务与人际沟通 Passage 1 （23-24学年高三上·北京市丰台区·期末） Mouth open in wonder and horror, Laurent Pelletier stares at the bush cricket that has landed in front of him on the picnic table. “Can we eat it?” he asks his mum. “Can I take it as a travel companion?” In early 2022, Laurent’s parents decided to quit their jobs. They took their four children, Mia, Léo, Colin, and Laurent, travelled over 52, 000 miles and visited 13 countries. Over the months, the world constantly unveiled (显露) itself. The kids played pat-a-cake with uniformed schoolchildren in Botswana, and while in Tanzania they tried African traditional dances with locals and stayed on a banana farm. In Thailand, they touched an elephant, calling out in surprise at how rough it felt. Rarely did they talk about why they were abroad in the first place, with one exception. While travelling along a dusty Mongolian highway last summer, Laurent, who had seemed unaware of what was to come, asked, “What does it mean to be blind? How will I cross the street? Will I be able to drive a car?” “It’s like when you have your eyes closed,” his mother said. “It won’t happen overnight, but slowly, over years. ”Being blind, she continued, didn’t mean the end of the world. Rather, the world would be different. Nothing would prevent them from doing most things, including skiing, swimming or even becoming scientists who worked on cures for their disease. Laurent nodded, then went back to making up his own games to pass the time. The four kids will become blind, likely in adulthood. They have a disease called retinitis pigmentosa (RP), a group of related eye disorders that cause progressive eyesight loss. By far, it has no effective treatment, and it will gradually take away their eyesight. However, their parents still want their kids to lead full lives, whether they’re blind or not. The trip has reinforced (增强) what they believe all these years-the kids will find their way. Each day, their parents watch the kids change, physically and emotionally. Laurent grows taller and needs more independence. Both Léo and Colin become more confident and outgoing, unafraid to engage with strangers. “Today, my eyesight is good and I’m going to make the most of it, ”says Mia. “Tomorrow, we will rise to the challenge. ” 19．According to the passage, what did the family experience on their trip? A．They did the farm work. B．They took elephant rides. C．They completed zoo tours. D．They enjoyed the folk dance. 20．What made Laurent’s parents decide to quit their jobs? A．Their kids’ health. B．Their work challenges. C．Their family dreams. D．Their passion for nature. 21．What did the trip mainly bring to the kids? A．Strong bodies. B．Social skills. C．Positive mindset. D．Language ability. 22．What can we mainly conclude from this passage? A．Travelling is to seek for an interesting life. B．Nothing is impossible to a determined heart. C．One’s potential cannot always be underrated. D．Treasure what you have and live life to the fullest. 主题04 人与自我——做人与做事 Passage 1 （24-25学年高三上·北京市丰台区·期末） The great elephant stands in the hot African sun. Slowly the beast lifts its head and its thick trunk delicately curls around the leaves of a nearby tree, pulling out the leaves and politely slipping them into its mouth. The beast’s great grey skin is partly broken and aged from the African sun. Some mud drops on one side from its last trip to a nearby river. Its rough hair sticks out from all over its skin and two large, white tusks curve elegantly from either side of its mouth. Somewhere a lion roars and something else gives a loud high shout. A vulture (秃鹫) drifts over far above this world, barely a black dot in the sky. The buzzing of the countless bush insects seems to collectively shift up in high tune, almost like the whole of the savanna (热带草原) was singing some song that only they knew. I peer through the lens (镜头) at this scene. The zoom lens shows almost every detail of the elephant: the three small cuts in its left ear from playing as a baby around thorn trees, the scar down its front leg where a lion caught it unaware as a young adult, and weathering on its great, valuable tusks from decades of living in this unforgiving grassland on a dusty continent. And then the elephant looks at me. It looks at me with those big, eyelashed eyes with a warmth coming outwards from a vast, hidden depth there. I can suddenly feel its soul, and feel the line of elephants that came before this one, trailing back to the very beginnings of this great savanna. We will never understand what wonders this ancient being and its kind have seen and whispered to each other across the ages on this old, sacred grassland. It looks at me, and it looks through me and sees me. The elephant knows I am there. It always did. It is not running away, nor is it fighting. It accepts and forgives. It loves. But, mostly, it just feels sad. It feels sorry for me. I cannot do this anymore. I take my eye off the sights and hand the gun back to my partner. “Let’s go home,” I said in a quiet voice, “let’s just go home.” 23．According to the first two paragraphs, which word can best describe the elephant? A．Mysterious. B．Depressed. C．Aggressive. D．Graceful. 24．When the author sees through the lens, he is . A．deeply moved and filled with sympathy B．overwhelmed by the elephant’s strength C．annoyed at the presence of other animals D．shocked and scared by the elephant’s scars 25．What does the author intend to do initially? A．Take a picture. B．Observe the elephant. C．Hunt the elephant. D．Study African grassland. 26．What can we learn from the passage? A．Nature calms our anger. B．Nature purifies our souls. C．Nature heals our wounds. D．Nature enriches our imagination. Passage 2 （24-25学年高三上·北京市昌平区·期末） Juleus Ghunta is a published children’s author and award-winning poet. But growing up, he could barely read. Raised in a rural part of Western Jamaica, Ghunta and his brothers had limited resources to learn and play. “Life was very difficult for us,” he recalled. When Ghunta finally went to school, he couldn’t catch up on his reading skills. Since not only had he been kept home from school as a child, he had not been exposed to books. By the time he entered Grade Six, he could only spell his own name, but couldn’t make out words or read with understanding. The situation was made worse by a series of impatient teachers who made him feel worthless and upset. He struggled in school with a deep sense of loss. When Ghunta was about 12, a young teacher-in-training, whose name he does not recall, started a reading program for struggling students. Ghunta was the first to sign up. “The teacher was incredibly kind to me,” he said. “She was patient and creative, but did not ask anything of me except that I work hard and believe in myself.” Under her guidance, Ghunta’s reading skills started to improve and his sense of insufficiency began to lift. He graduated from elementary school with a number of academic awards. He went on to college, and later, graduate school. Today, he is the author of two children’s books, including Rohan Bullkin and the Shadows: A Story about ACEs and Hope, about overcoming difficult experiences in childhood. He’s now working on his first full-length collection of poetry. In 2010, Ghunta went back to his elementary school, inquiring the principal and teachers if the young teacher was still there, but failed. He hoped to meet her and thank her for seeing his potential. “I would love her to see the significant impact she has made on my life, and the ways in which I have carried this memory of her — the hope, the light, with me — and how it continues to be a source of joy.” 27．How did Ghunta feel in Grade Six? A．Astonished. B．Delighted. C．Relaxed. D．Depressed. 28．The young teacher influenced Ghunta mainly by _______. A．encouraging his independence B．building up his confidence C．inspiring his imagination D．developing his creativity 29．Ghunta went back to his elementary school in 2010 to ________. A．find inspirations for his books B．recall his pleasant time there C．thank his teacher face to face D．show off his achievements 30．What can we learn from this passage? A．Where there is a will, there is a way. B．Everything comes to those who wait. C．Encouragement can transform a life. D．Diligence is the mother of success. 主题05 人与自然——自然生态 Passage 1 （23-24学年高三上·北京市朝阳区·期末） Working at a bank in New York City in the mid-2010s, Anna Sacks was living the life-just not the life she wanted. Sure, she was happy. But she wanted to do something that felt important. Some people seeking meaning might read a self-help book or perhaps volunteer a few hours a week. Sacks packed up her life and moved to Connecticut to participate in Adamah, a farming program that focuses on sustainable living and growing sustainable food. When she returned to New York, her life was with a new purpose and a variety of new skills to make her dreams a reality. “One of the things that really stuck with me from Adamah was how little waste they produced and how they handled the waste they did have, primarily through composting (堆肥),” she says. “And I just thought, ‘Why aren’t we doing that here?’”“The Adamah program opened Sacks’ eyes to the damage consumer culture is doing on a local, national, and global level, and the need to find solutions. So in 2017, she began what she calls “trash walking”. During tours around her community, Sacks picks through garbage to look for reusable items. Soon, her “trash walking” expanded to include corporate trash along with residential trash. Surprisingly, she discovered a wide range of really great stuff-like clothing, decorations, and food-all of which she documents on TikTok. Under the name The Trash Walker, Sacks quickly gained popularity for her videos that highlight the problems with consumerism. “The root issue is overproduction, which leads to overconsumption, which leads to a large amount of waste,” she says. The fact is, companies often choose to trash items rather than give them away to people who might need them. A big reason for this waste is the way our current tax laws are structured, Sacks says. Sellers who destroy goods can claim the cost as a loss on their taxes and be refunded. If they give away goods, they can claim only a small amount as a charitable reduction on their taxes. Sacks’ main focus is simply getting people to pay attention to how many unnecessary things they buy and then throw away. “Once you become aware of the way you consume, you can see ways you improve,” she says. 31．Anna Sacks packed up her life and left New York to________. A．lead a healthy lifestyle B．observe how to grow food C．pursue a meaningful life D．volunteer to work in a bank 32．What impressed Anna Sacks most about the Adamah program? A．The importance of trash walking. B．The sustainable food people produced. C．The hard truth about consumer culture. D．The way people there dealt with the waste. 33．What makes companies prefer to throw out goods as trash? A．The tax reduction. B．The quality of goods. C．The tax refund. D．The overproduction. 34．What can we learn from Anna Sacks’ story? A．Consumer culture accounts for wasting. B．Corporate trash outweighs residential trash. C．Trash walking is the key to becoming wealthy. D．Turning to farming leads to sustainable living. 主题01 人与社会——历史、社会与文化 Passage 1 （23-24学年高三上·北京市海淀区·期末） In early 2018, I was training for the London Marathon—the first and only marathon I would ever run in my life. I had treated myself to an expensive fitness watch that tracked my time, pace and splits. At the end of my final training run—an exhausting 21 miles (34km) —I threw myself down on the floor the moment I got home, only to see my watch had failed me. Twenty-one miles briefly flashed on the screen before it went blank and disappeared for ever. I screamed in pain. That tragic image of me crying on my living room floor pretty much sums up my relationship with exercise tracking technology. It can be a total joy to watch your data change on running apps as you get stronger and faster. I once got a kick out of it, but at some point it became a stick I used to punish myself. I would watch my pace, compare it with other people’s or criticize myself for not doing it 30 seconds faster. I never really recognized exercise tracking as a problem. It seemed to me that tracking was the route to self-improvement, and the point was to improve, wasn’t it? The point was to be better. In the past year, the concept of “being better” has taken on a different meaning. My mental health dropped, and things that were once easy such as brushing my teeth became unimaginably difficult. Being better stopped meaning getting faster or stronger. It meant taking care of myself and feeling some joy in a day. Once I started getting better, I reflected on what in my life made me happy and what did not. So, I stopped tracking my runs and simply deleted years’ worth of data that was once very important to me and now meant nothing. What has become very clear to me since I quit tracking my runs is that I genuinely love doing them. I run around my local park with a silly little smile on my face. I love it so much. But I do not love running quickly. I do not like races. I do not want to be pushed to be faster. Things I notice about my runs now include: how my legs feel and how my mind feels afterwards-clear and focused. I notice dogs, the smell of the wild plants along the canal and the sunshine (OK, wind and rain) on my face. I am better. Or sometimes I am worse. But either way I’m slowly plodding along, and that’s good enough. 35．The author cried after the final training run because she ________. A．had to stop working out B．became physically worn out C．lost the data on the watch D．felt a sharp pain in the legs 36．The author used to view exercise tracking as ________. A．a fun hobby for enjoyment B．a strong need for recognition C．a method of escaping punishment D．a way of being a better runner 37．What does “being better” mean to the author now? A．Getting pleasure out of winning races. B．Being more focused on her life goal. C．Freeing herself from demanding tasks. D．Improving her overall well-being. 38．What can we conclude from this passage? A．Adjustment brings happiness. B．Passion is the key to success. C．Sports contribute to happiness. D．Success equals self-improvement. Passage 2 （24-25学年高三上·北京市海淀区·期末） On a brisk October morning, with 20 pounds of gear on my back, I hiked up a steep, rocky trail. With each step, I felt my throat tighter and my lungs heave. This was an experiment. Growing up, my family’s annual “hikes” often left me weeping with exhaustion after only 2 miles. Decades later, I wondered, at the ripe age of 26, could I learn to love the outdoors? I decided to start in the deep end with this hiking. Prepared with weeks of exercise, I joined my group at the trailhead near the city border. An hour after setting off, I fell behind, not sure if I could make it. Frank, my hiking companion, slowed down to accompany me. “Look at the sky, the trees!” he exclaimed. Wheezing, I stopped to crane my neck. Nature in all its magnificence chose to show off. The wind whistled, rustling the yellow canopy overhead. Continuing on, I made a point to stop and look around every few minutes. Three hours later, we reached our campsite, a vast grassy area. Frank guided me through putting up my tent, a small victory after a challenging morning. We then sought our only water source, Sunfish Pond. Much to my annoyance, I repeatedly lost my footing and returned to camp after countless falls. At camp, I built a fire using only flint (火石) sticks. My cheap sleeping pad kept losing air, and my sleeping bag did little to keep the cold air out. Around 2 a.m. I teared up in frustration and lay sleepless. However, emerging from my tent into the misty morning, I felt my mood lifted. Autumn seemed to have kicked in overnight and the leaves glowed. I ate a breakfast of instant noodles and then joined the others, sharing intimate thoughts I usually kept hidden. Back at the trailhead where we started, my friend asked what we were grateful for. I piped up about the vulnerable and funny conversations I’d enjoyed with fellow hikers — and the space to reflect. The forest and its temporary dwellers had convinced me I was capable of much more than I thought possible. Did the experiment work? Memories of that sleepless, freezing night might give me pause before I crawl into a tent again. But that doesn’t mean I’m away from the woods completely. I returned to New York smelly and sore, but when I stepped off the bus into the city’s hustle and bustle, I also felt an unexpected calm. 39．Why did the author decide to go on a hiking trip? A．To improve his physical health. B．To escape from the fast-paced city life. C．To explore his potential for the outdoors. D．To revisit a childhood passion for hiking. 40．Which best describes the author’s emotional journey? ① amazed        ② doubtful        ③ annoyed        ④ peaceful        ⑤ uplifted A．③②⑤①④ B．②①③⑤④ C．②③①④⑤ D．③④②①⑤ 41．What has the author learned from the experience? A．Success lies in self-acceptance. B．Wilderness heals a broken heart. C．Small setbacks lead to great achievements. D．Nature gives more than expected. 主题02 人与社会——文学、艺术与体育 Passage 1 （24-25学年高三上·北京市东城区·期末） Two years ago, fueled by my envy for those with gardens, I signed up for a plot, a place where I could read and write in the sun, safe from distractions. A few months ago, I was presented a half-plot of available land. The plot, which was bigger than I could dream of, was beautiful but overgrown — getting it started would require hard work. I wasn’t sure I had it in me. Fast forward to now. After seeking guidance from my family and watching beginners’ gardening videos, I spend hours a week sowing, weeding, watering and harvesting. My summer at the plot has so far offered countless lessons, but the most important one has been learning more about how food actually grows. Take the humble cauliflower — a common sight in the supermarket, yet it demands patient tending for up to six months, all for a short moment on the plate. Seasonality has also taken on a new meaning. I knew that all fresh food has its “season” but it was only when I was overwhelmed by an endless supply of courgettes that I really understood I could be eating them for months. Yet abundant harvests come with a lesson in impermanence. Fresh produce goes off quickly once ripened and picked. And so I’ve turned to the old craft of preservation — learning what to boil and freeze, or make into jam — to make things last. When the harvest has been more than I can manage, I’ve shared the abundance with friends and family, spreading the joy. While gardening is a welcome escape from the chaos of the modern world, you can’t avoid the reality of the climate crisis. It’s one thing to read these in the news or see them reflected in prices, but it’s quite another when you have to be in tune with weather patterns, praying for prolonged sunshine without the unbearable heat. As I continue to tend my plot, I do so with a sense of humility, wonder and excitement. What started as a desire for a small patch of green has grown into something much more significant — a connection to my local environment, a respect for the food I eat and an awareness of the fragile natural systems that sustain us. In the beginning, I was worried I would fail the plot; instead, I’m finding myself growing alongside it. 42．How did the author feel when getting the plot? A．Proud but anxious. B．Grateful but puzzled. C．Amazed but worried. D．Moved but disappointed. 43．While working on the plot, the author learned to __________. A．remove chaos from life B．create seasonal recipes C．identify common plants D．respect laws of nature 44．What does the author’s experience tell us? A．Labor is the most reliable wealth. B．Every season brings its own lessons. C．The land is made better and so is the gardener. D．One should stay hungry for constant progress. Passage 2 （23-24学年高三上·北京市东城区·期末） When I first heard about the improv(即兴表演) classes, I was torn. As an introvert, I feared getting on stage and improvising in front of strangers. However, I knew I wanted to work as a science communicator after finishing my Ph.D．, so it seemed like the perfect opportunity to improve my speaking ability and gain confidence thinking on my feet. During our first class, we learned a core concept of improv: “yes, and.” It means that, as improvisers, we accept what fellow performers say. If someone says that rhinos(犀牛) are librarians, for example, then rhinos are librarians. We do not question the logic; we say “yes” and continue with the scene as if no him is wrong. I got a taste of how difficult that was when acting out my first scene. My classmate turned to me and said, “Mom is going to be so mad.” Mad about what? My mind spun out ideas, and my inner critic shot them all down. We broke the car? No, that’s too easy. We failed a test? No, you don’t want your classmates thinking you’re stupid on the first day. I finally landed on an answer: “Yes, we’re going to be late for dinner.” The scene proceeded from there, and we eventually finished as two sisters who lost their way on a hiking trail. The first few scenes were hard, but as weeks turned into months, I became more comfortable thinking on my feet and even started to enjoy our classes. I never silenced my inner critic entirely, but over time, I didn’t police my words with quite so much effort. I also became better at listening, relating to my conversation partners, and communicating clearly in the moment. That training proved useful 6 months ago, when my experiments generated unreasonable data. Early on in graduate school, I would get stuck when this happened; my inner critic would assume I had made a mistake. But then, after embracing the “yes, and” concept, instead of getting discouraged, I kept exploring the data and ended up identifying a new type of cell—one that wasn’t behaving as expected. If I hadn’t accepted the possibility that the results were real, I would have missed out on the most exciting finding of my Ph.D．so far. All scientists can benefit from this lesson. If the data say rhinos are librarians, then it’s worth investigating whether rhinos are, in fact, librarians. Our job as scientists isn’t to generate data that support a preconceived(预想的) story. Our job is to say “yes, and.” 45．Why did the author take the improv classes? A．To improve her logical mind. B．To finish her Ph. D．assignment. C．To develop her communication skills. D．To pursue her interest in performance. 46．How did the author feel during the first scene? A．Conflicted. B．Bored. C．Discouraged. D．Embarrassed. 47．According to the author, in her experiments, “yes, and” helped her ______. A．accept failures B．make a new discovery C．make up for a mistake D．correct unreasonable data 48．What can we learn from this passage? A．The unknown can be an inspiration. B．The unexpected can be rewarding, C．The unfortunate can be a chance. D．The unusual can be decisive. 主题03 人与自我——生活与学习 Passage 1 （23-24学年高三上·北京市房山区·期末） Paul Durietz is a 76-year-old social studies teacher from Illinois. On September 1, he set a Guinness World Record for the world’s longest teaching career. He has been teaching for 53 years-since he was 23 years old. Mr. Durietz became interested in history after hearing stories from his father. He made up his mind about becoming a social studies teacher when he was just 11 years old, mainly because of his love of history. Mr. Durietz got his first teaching job at Woodland Middle School in Gurnee, Illinois in 1970. Ever since then, he’s been teaching social studies at the same school. For him, teaching is never boring because every day is different. He loves sharing his knowledge of history with students. Things have changed a lot since he began all those years ago. When he started, he wrote on a blackboard with chalk, and the students used paper textbooks. These days, he and the students use computers and digital whiteboards. Though technology has changed a lot, in Mr. Durietz’s eyes, the students are still pretty much the same-except that now they have cell phones. And with or without technology, Mr. Durietz has used creative activities to help his students learn. For example, he has organized virtual field trips, geography contests, and special days about the US Civil War. To help his students learn about politics, he has even organized mock (模拟的) elections at school, which his students enjoyed most. For much of his 53 years as a teacher, Mr. Durietz has been in charge of the social studies program at Woodland. In that time, he has helped to guide over 20 other social studies teachers at the school. To his extreme pride, he has even had students come back and tell him that they became history teachers because of him. Mr. Durietz wasn’t really trying to set a record. He was just doing what he loved. He has no plans to retire any time soon. He hopes to break his own record. He also hopes to set another record as the teacher who’s worked the longest at the same school. “Keep working on what you love to do in life,” he always says. 49．Mr. Durietz received an award from Guinness for ______. A．being the oldest teacher in Illinois B．being the best social studies teacher C．having the longest years of teaching D．working 53 years at the same school 50．What has made Mr. Durietz most proud of his work? A．Sharing his knowledge of history. B．Students enjoying the mock elections. C．Guiding over 20 other teachers at Woodland. D．Students following his example to be teachers. 51．According to the passage, which word can best describe Mr. Durietz? A．Passionate. B．Generous. C．Ambitious. D．Confident. 52．What can we conclude from this passage? A．One is never too old to learn. B．Be famous as young as possible. C．You have got to like what you do. D．When work is a pleasure, life is joy. Passage 2 （24-25学年高三上·北京市西城区·期末） After the deadly hurricane in October, Taylor Schenker, who lives in Canton, North Carolina, near hard-hit Asheville, went for a walk with her friend to check out the homes destroyed in the disaster. “We spent about four hours digging through the mud, looking for any belongings we could find,” Schenker said. During the process, she found some photographs that didn’t belong to them and laid them out, hoping they could be reunited with their owners. Schenker said that thinking about the photos she had left behind kept her up that night. She was afraid that if it rained or the wind blew, the photos wouldn’t be able to be reunited with their families. The next day, Schenker went back to collect the photos and ended up finding more — about 200 of them — containing school portraits, birthday cards, and images of childhood friends and families on vacation. She said it was clear that the photos belonged to multiple families, and she understood how special such memories could be to them. Realizing how many important family memories she now had in her possession, she created the Photos from Helene page — a virtual lost-and-found where people could recognize and reclaim their photos. She hoped people would recognize the photos on her page and that word of mouth would help reunite them with their rightful owners. Schenker took the photos home, cleaned them off, and organized them into folders and bins for safekeeping until they could be returned to their owners. Schenker mailed photos to people who were no longer in the area, but she also hand-delivered those that belonged to families who still lived nearby. Each reunion served as a heartwarming reminder of the importance of her work. In one instance, Becky Tate and her daughter both recognized their photos on the online page. Tate’s daughter, Nancy, commented that her mom was in tears when they made the discovery. “The process is definitely fulfilling,” Schenker said. “It’s enjoyable to witness the moment when a photograph is returned to its rightful owner, and to observe people in the comments mentioning each other and sharing their thoughts and saying, ‘Oh my gosh, you just reminded me of this moment in my life that I had totally forgotten about.’” She said she chose the name for her page because most of the photos they’ve seen come out of the hurricane show the devastation (破坏) left behind—but her Photos from Helene are happy memories of Asheville and the lives there. 53．What can we know about the photos on Schenker’s page? A．They were all proof of the hurricane. B．They were seriously damaged in the storm. C．They were left behind by some families on purpose. D．They were discovered in areas impacted by the hurricane. 54．Which sentence best expresses Schenker’s motivation for her page? A．“The hurricane destroyed everything in its path.” B．“I wanted to clean the photos and keep them as memories.” C．“I realized how important these photos must be to someone.” D．“It was just so sad to see so many photos spread and damaged.” 55．Why were Schenker’s actions important after the hurricane?

D．They raised awareness of survivors’struggles. 56．Which of the following words can best describe Schenker? A．Curious. B．Caring. C．Ambitious. D．Adventurous. Passage 3 （24-25学年高三上·北京市石朝阳区·期末） Nici Mense, the New York Jets’ first full-time dietitian, faces the demanding task of managing the daily nutritional needs of professional athletes. Recently, she has successfully completed her seventh season with the team. Properly fueling players so that they feel the difference in their performance is something she learned while playing soccer at university. “I found soccer to be more demanding on my body than I had expected, and I needed to maintain my energy through proper nutrition to match my performance on the field, ” she said. “This realization changed my perspective. I’ve always loved sports and food, so combining the two made the most sense. ” Mense joined the New York Jets and has stayed in tune with the team’s schedule. “My hours vary from time to time, ” she said. “It’s the busiest during training camp through the end of the season. We will work seven days a week unless it’s our bye week, when we don’t play a game during the season. We ensure players fuel properly before, during and after practice. They receive recovery shakes, snacks and fruit for post-practice recovery. While they are in training throughout the day, that’s my time to plan for the weeks ahead. ” Occasionally, athletes need a warm-up period when working with a dietitian. “It can be quite challenging to prove that dietitians are here to help them and that we are not the food police, ” said Mense. “There are times when a player doesn’t listen to the education and injures themselves. But it’s always so awesome to see when it works for them. ” Nevertheless, Mense feels fulfilled in her role and continues to push the athletes, knowing that nutrition is key to fueling performance, recovery and long-term health. Mense describes herself as “obsessed” with her field, constantly evolving and gaining knowledge. “If I am the same dietitian three years from now, then I am doing something wrong, ” she declared. “The more open-minded I am, and the more I am able to learn as a professional, the better I can help athletes with their goals. ” By staying at the forefront of her field, Mense provides athletes with essential nutrition strategies to support their performance, recovery, and long-term health. With her dedication and expertise, it’s clear that professional athletes are truly eating their way to victory. 57．What motivated Nici Mense to choose her career? A．Her urge to make life changes.
