题型简介
记叙文类文章描述的是一件具体事情的发生、发展和结局,通常有时间、地点、人物、事件等。有些文章是按事件发展的经过为主线叙述的,在叙述的过程中有详有略;有些文章是按时间的顺序叙述的,有顺叙、倒叙等。从总体上来讲,文章的难度通常不大,在阅读过程中,我们一直在某个线索的引导下,随着作者的思路去了解一个故事或一件事情的始末,因此会感到比较轻松。命题往往从故事的情节、人物或事件之间的关系、作者的意图和态度、故事的前因和后果等方面入手,考查学生对细节的辨认能力以及推理判断能力。阅读此类文章应特别注意:(1)若是一般故事性文章,应读懂故事的发生、发展、高潮和结局;(2)若是"哲理故事",要理解故事所蕴含的哲理意义;(3)若是 "逸闻趣事",应体会对话的风趣性,进而才能感受幽默的精髓。记叙文的目的在于:讲述故事:交代事件的起因、经过、发展和结果。塑造人物:通过人物的言行、心理活动来展现其性格与情感。表达情感/阐明道理:故事背后往往蕴含着深刻的人生哲理、情感体验或社会价值。

解题思路
第一部分:通用解题法 —— 应对所有记叙文的四大步骤
无论遇到哪种类型的记叙文,遵循以下四个步骤,能保证你思路清晰,不遗漏关键信息。
步骤1:速读全文,抓住要素,把握主线
目标:不要在第一遍阅读时就纠结于生词或细节。你的任务是搞懂“谁,在何时何地,做了什么事,结果如何,有何感悟”。
解题步骤:
· 圈出主要人物(Who)。
· 划出故事发生的时间、地点(When & Where)。
· 用一句话在心里概括核心事件或人物特征(What)。
· 特别关注首段和尾段,这里往往是主旨的所在。
步骤2:审读题干,定位关键词
目标:明确题目在问什么,并带着问题回到文中寻找答案。
解题步骤:
· 仔细阅读题干和每个选项。
· 找出题干中的关键词,如:人名、地名、动词、名词短语、引号内的词等。
· 判断题型(是细节题、推理题还是主旨题)。
步骤3:精读定位,分析判断
目标:根据关键词,回到原文中找到相关的句子或段落(定位),并进行深入分析。
行动:
· “地毯式”搜索:在原文中找到与题干关键词对应或同义替换的句子。
· “语境式”理解:精读定位句及其前后句,确保理解准确。
对于不同题型:
细节题:直接比对选项与原文,注意同义替换。
推理/词义题:分析上下文逻辑关系(因果、转折、举例、定义等)。
主旨/目的题:回顾文章整体结构和首尾段。
步骤4:比对选项,排除干扰
目标:选出最符合原文的答案。
核心:熟知错误选项的常见陷阱:无中生有:选项内容原文未提及。偷换概念:对原文信息进行细微的曲解。以偏概全:用局部信息代替整体主旨。过度绝对:使用如 always, never, all 等绝对化词汇。正反混淆:与原文信息完全相反。
第二部分:专项技巧 —— 针对三大考向的解题重心
在运用通用心法的基础上,针对不同考向,你的思考重心应有所侧重。
1. 人物类记叙文:核心方法是“由事见人”
阅读重心:关注所有用于描写人物的形容词、副词、动词以及人物的对话、心理活动和他人评价。
解题关键:
遇到询问“性格、品质、态度”的题目,不要主观臆断,一定要在文中找到具体事例作为证据。
将人物的行为(做了什么)与其背后的动机(为什么做)和品质(体现了他是什么样的人)联系起来。
公式:具体事例/言行 → 推断出 → 性格/品质/情感
2. 叙事类记叙文:核心方法是“由事及理”
阅读重心:理清情节发展链条(起因→经过→高潮→结果),特别关注事件的转折点和最终结果。
解题关键:
遇到询问“主旨、教训、启示”的题目,答案往往藏在故事的结局或作者在文末的直接议论和抒情中。
叙事文的最终目的不是讲故事本身,而是通过故事表达一个观点或道理。因此,读完一定要问自己:“作者想通过这个故事告诉我什么?”
公式:完整事件(尤其结果)+ 作者感悟 → 提炼出 → 主旨/启示
3. 状物类记叙文:核心方法是“由物及情”
阅读重心:不要被对“物”的细致描写所迷惑,要思考“这个物背后关联着什么人?什么事?承载了什么情感?”
解题关键:
遇到询问“写作目的、象征意义、作者情感”的题目,答案绝不是物体本身的物理属性,而是它的情感价值和精神象征。
文中对物的描写(如“破旧但整洁”)往往暗示了相关人物的品质或作者的情感(如“珍视、怀念”)。
公式:物的特征/来历 + 相关回忆/人物 → 挖掘出 → 情感/精神象征
考向01 人物类记叙文
【例1-1】(25-26高三·江西·一轮复习阶段检测)
When Dr. Daniel Olaiya isn’t presenting Operation Ouch! on CBBC, he is working as a National Health Service doctor, specializing in anesthesiology (麻醉学). He is also a flight doctor, which means he works on air ambulances.
Olaiya’s interest in science didn’t start with school lessons. Instead, it grew from his love of science fiction. He was a big fan of superheroes, in particular the X-Men comics. His favourite character was Havok, who can release powerful energy, which Olaiya thought was really cool. Another hero that he admired was the film character Indiana Jones, an adventurous archaeologist and professor at a university. He used to dream of becoming “Indiana Jones” in his own way.
Becoming a doctor wasn’t always Olaiya’s dream, but by the end of secondary school, he viewed it as a career where he would deal with people, go on adventures and use his scientific knowledge, which was both enjoyable and challenging. Pre-medical studies were really difficult because there was a lot to study. He struggled with it, but when he started his degree at the University of Exeter, he says, “That was when the fun began.” He loved outdoor adventures and activities while he was studying there.
In 2016, Olaiya joined FameLab, a global science communication competition, to share scientific ideas with audience. He delivered a creative three-minute talk on the science of happiness. The next year, he participated again, despite arriving an hour late due to heavy traffic. The talk ended up being a success and Olaiya made it through to FameLab’s national final.
Science communication is still an important part of Olaiya’s job — he is now one of the presenters on Operation Ouch! on CBBC. His most important advice for any young doctor is to work really hard at school and “dive as deep as you can into the science and the human aspect, because you can’t have one without the other in medicine.”
1. What initially sparked Olaiya’s scientific interest?
A.Characters in science fiction. B.A global speech competition.
C.Formal classroom education. D.Medical training in university.
2. Why did Olaiya take part in FameLab?
A.To win its final prize. B.To better spread science.
C.To be a TV presenter. D.To show his medical skills.
3. Which of the following words can best describe Olaiya?
A.Reserved and talented. B.Independent and ambitious.
C.Warm-hearted and creative. D.Adventurous and determined.
4. What does Olaiya’s advice highlight?
A.All efforts will pay off one day. B.It is never too late to learn science.
C.Medicine needs humanity and science. D.Caring for patients overweighs skills.
【答案】1.A 2.B 3.D 4.C
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了医生兼科学传播者Daniel Olaiya的职业生涯,分享了他如何从科幻迷成长为医学专家,并通过FameLab和电视节目推动科学普及,还强调医学需兼顾科学与人道精神。
1.细节理解题。根据第二段中“Olaiya’s interest in science didn’t start with school lessons. Instead, it grew from his love of science fiction. He was a big fan of superheroes, in particular the X-Men comics. (Olaiya的科学兴趣并非始于学校课程,而是源于他对科幻小说的热爱。他特别喜欢超级英雄,尤其是《X战警》漫画。)”可知,最初激发Olaiya科学兴趣的是科幻小说中的角色。故选A项。
2.细节理解题。根据第四段中“In 2016, Olaiya joined FameLab, a global science communication competition, to share scientific ideas with audience. (2016年,Olaiya参加了一项全球科学传播比赛FameLab,旨在向观众分享科学理念。)”可知,Olaiya参加FameLab的目的是更好地传播科学。故选B项。
3.推理判断题。根据第一段中“He is also a flight doctor, which means he works on air ambulances. (他也是一名飞行医生,这意味着他在空中救护车上工作。)”和第三段中“He loved outdoor adventures and activities while he was studying there. (当他在那里学习时,他喜欢户外冒险和活动。)”可知,Olaiya热爱户外探险活动,且从事飞行医生这样高挑战性的职业,表明他具有冒险精神;根据第三段中“Pre-medical studies were really difficult because there was a lot to study. He struggled with it, but when he started his degree at the University of Exeter, he says, “That was when the fun began.” (医学预科学习真的很难,因为要学的东西太多了。他曾为此挣扎过,但当他开始在埃克塞特大学攻读学位时,他说:“那就是乐趣开始的时候。”)”可知,Olaiya克服医学预科困难,表明他有坚定决心。故选D项。
4.细节理解题。根据最后一段中“His most important advice for any young doctor is to work really hard at school and “dive as deep as you can into the science and the human aspect, because you can’t have one without the other in medicine.” (他对年轻医生最重要的建议是在学校努力学习,“尽可能深入地研究科学和人文方面,因为在医学上,两者缺一不可。”)”可知,Olaiya的建议强调医学必须结合科学与人文。故选C项。
【例1-2】(25-26高三上·四川广安中学·月考)
At first sight, Easthope doesn’t seem much like a Cassandra. She smiles a lot. Her manner is kind and motherly; pushed to name her profession, you might guess at nurse or teacher. But look closer.
Easthope is an emergency planner whose job is to support the survivors of major disasters, in which capacity she acted following the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami and the fire at Grenfell Tower. For two decades, the public knew nothing about this vital work, which went on behind the scenes, though she was hugely admired in what we might call professional disaster circles: a voice of calm and a fountain of wisdom. But in 2023, she published a best-selling book about her career, When the Dust Settles, and that changed. People became very interested in what she did.
“At literary festivals, most authors get questions about their writing process,” Easthope says. “But I wouldn’t get those. What people wanted from me was to know how I lived with the knowledge that I have. Wasn’t I afraid? How did I handle? I would tell them that I didn’t live afraid, and I would give them basic advice. But this wasn’t enough.” In the end, she felt she had no choice but to write a second book, one in which she would try to distill (浓缩) all that she has learned for the benefit of each individual.
While her publisher describes Come What May as a roadmap for resilience (韧性), the word is one Easthope dislikes. Ready, she suggests, is a better one. Easthope also reminds people that small things, like losing hair during illness or consuming too much food after someone dies, still matter. She encourages people to remember, not to forget, what happened during disasters, because such events leave a long-lasting effect.
1. What might a Cassandra be like according to paragraph 1?
A.Serious and unapproachable. B.Competent and cautious.
C.Friendly and energetic. D.Cheerful and easy-going.
2.What led to increased public awareness of Easthope’s work in 2023?
A.The publication of a bestseller. B.The growth of professional disaster circles.
C.Her involvement in 2004 tsunami relief. D.Her sudden rise to fame through media.
3.Why are readers’ questions cited (引用) in paragraph 3?
A.To reveal Easthope’s personal fears. B.To explain Easthope’s writing process.
C.To show Easthope’s writing motivation. D.To present public doubts about Easthope’s work.
4. What does Easthope agree on handling disasters?
A.Resilience matters most. B.Forgetting aids recovery.
C.Positive thinking takes the lead. D.Minor sufferings deserve attention.
【答案】1.A 2.A 3.C 4.D
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述应急规划师伊斯特霍普的职业经历、著作出版后受到的关注,以及她关于人们应对灾难的观点和建议。
1.推理判断题。根据第一段中的“At first sight, Easthope doesn’t seem much like a Cassandra. She smiles a lot. Her manner is kind and motherly; pushed to name her profession, you might guess at nurse or teacher. But look closer. (乍一看,伊斯特霍普不太像卡桑德拉。她经常微笑。她的举止和蔼可亲,像母亲一样;如果非要说出她的职业,你可能会猜是护士或老师。但再仔细看看。)”可知,伊斯特霍普的“笑容满面、亲切有母性”与卡桑德拉的特质相反,由此可推知卡桑德拉应是严肃且难以接近的。故选A项。
2.细节理解题。根据第二段中的“But in 2023, she published a best-selling book about her career, When the Dust Settles, and that changed. People became very interested in what she did.(但在2023年,她出版了一本关于自己职业生涯的畅销书《尘埃落定之时》,一切都变了。人们开始对她的工作产生浓厚兴趣)”可知,2023年一本畅销书的出版让公众对伊斯特霍普的工作有了更多了解。故选A项。
3.推理判断题。根据第三段中““At literary festivals, most authors get questions about their writing process,” Easthope says. “But I wouldn’t get those. What people wanted from me was to know how I lived with the knowledge that I have. Wasn’t I afraid? How did I handle? I would tell them that I didn’t live afraid, and I would give them basic advice. But this wasn’t enough.”(伊斯特霍普坦言:“文学节上,大多数作家都会被问及创作过程,但没人问我这些。人们想了解的是,我如何背负着这些认知继续生活。难道不害怕吗?如何应对?我会告诉他们我从不活在恐惧中,并给出基本建议。但这远远不够。”)”和“In the end, she felt she had no choice but to write a second book, one in which she would try to distill all that she has learned for the benefit of each individual.(最终,她觉得自己别无选择,只能写第二本书,一本试图浓缩她所学一切、造福每个人的书)”可知,引用读者的问题是为了说明这些问题让伊斯特霍普意识到需要通过写书分享更多经验,即体现她写第二本书的动机。故选C项。
4.细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Easthope also reminds people that small things, like losing hair during illness or consuming too much food after someone dies, still matter.(伊斯特霍普还提醒人们,一些小事仍然重要,比如生病时脱发或有人去世后暴饮暴食。)”可知,伊斯特霍普认为生病时脱发或有人去世后暴饮暴食这样的小事也很重要,即微小的痛苦也值得关注。故选D项。
解|题|技|巧
人物类记叙文的核心是 “由事见人” ,即通过具体事件、言行举止来展现人物的品质、性格与情感。解题时需遵循以下步骤与方法:
第一步:快速浏览,抓住主线
· 在阅读前,先快速扫读文章首段、尾段以及各段首句,迅速把握文章主旨和人物身份。例如,在例1-1中,首段就点明了Dr. Daniel Olaiya的多重身份;例1-2则通过对比手法引出Easthope的独特职业特点。
· 关注人物特征:注意描述人物性格、品质或情感的关键词,如"adventurous"、"determined"、"calm"。
第二步:分析题干,精准定位
· 仔细阅读题目和选项,确定题型(细节题、推理题或主旨题)。
· 根据题干中的关键词(如人名、地名、特定事件)迅速定位到原文相关段落。例如,例1-1的第1题通过"initially sparked scientific interest"定位到第二段。
第三步:深度解读,推理判断
· 细节理解题:在定位区间寻找直接对应信息,注意同义替换。如例1-1第1题中,"love of science fiction"与选项A中的"characters in science fiction"形成对应。
· 推理判断题:
· 性格品质题:将人物的行为与品质关联。如例1-1第3题,通过Olaiya选择飞行医生职业和克服学业困难的行为,推断出他"adventurous and determined"的品质。
· 写作目的题:结合全文主旨,分析人物行为背后的深层动机。如例1-1第2题,通过"to share scientific ideas"推断参与FameLab的目的是传播科学。
注|意|事|项
1. 严格遵循"文本证据"原则:所有答案必须基于原文,避免主观臆断。如例1-1第3题,必须找到Olaiya具体的行为证据来推断其品质。
2. 把握人物塑造的多元手法:注意通过人物言行、他人评价、对比衬托等手法来理解人物特征。例1-2中通过"doesn't seem much like a Cassandra"的对比,突出Easthope的独特形象。
3. 区分事实与观点:事实是文中明确陈述的信息,观点则需要通过推理得出。如例1-2中"Easthope is an emergency planner"是事实,而她对"resilience"一词的态度是观点。
4. 领会深层主旨:人物类文章往往通过个人经历传达普遍价值观。如例1-1通过Olaiya的经历强调医学中科学与人文并重。

Chinese Nobel Prize-winning physicist Zhen Ning Yang, one of the most influential scientists in modern physics, passed away in Beijing on October 18 due to illness at the age of 103.
Born in 1922, Yang was brought up surrounded by the Tsinghua campus, where his father was a math professor. After finishing his undergraduate degree, he obtained his master’s degree from Tsinghua. He enrolled in the University of Chicago in the United States to pursue a doctorate in 1946 and was strongly influenced by Italian-American physicist Enrico Fermi, who had won the same Nobel Prize in 1938. He later became a professor at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton.
Yang won the Nobel Prize in 1957 with Tsung-Dao Lee for their investigation of the so-called parity laws that led to “important discoveries regarding the elementary particles,” according to the Nobel Prize website. They were the first Chinese-born Nobel Prize winners in physics.
Professor Yang was deeply devoted to his homeland, making remarkable contributions to China’s scientific and educational developments. His visit to China in 1971 led to a wave of visits by overseas scholars, earning him recognition as the pioneer in building the bridge of academic exchange between China and the United States.

【例2-1】(24-25高三下·广西来宾高级中学·)
Holding my hands, my grandparents boarded a green-skinned train in Hangzhou, which rocked and swayed for twenty-five hours straight to Ulanqab (乌兰察布市), Inner Mongolia. This is my childhood memory of returning home.
As the train journeyed north, the scenery outside the window gradually transformed from the gentle charm of the south to the vast openness of the north. Everything felt so beautiful, even the clamor (喧闹) inside the carriage carried a warmth. Before dawn the next day, I pressed my forehead against the fogged glass, watching the distant sunrise break through the horizon. It seemed as though the morning sun had risen solely to welcome our return.
After starting elementary school, trips back to my hometown grew sparse, and that direct train quietly closed down. The rails rusted into dotted lines in memory, and my hometown became a faint shadow on a photographic negative (照相底片).
Then, last year, Grandpa passed away, and the frequency of returning home suddenly surged. Yet, the journey no longer held the leisurely comfort of childhood it became a long, exhausting journey. We rushed to the airport before daybreak, weighed down by luggage check-ins. The cramped cabin and turbulent air currents added discomfort, while navigating the maze-like airport and enduring hours of road travel left us arriving under completely dark skies. There was no time to admire the scenery, let alone the endless sea of clouds outside the airplane window.
This year, upon hearing that the long-suspended train had resumed operation, an indescribable excitement welled up in my heart. A month ago, I finally boarded this long-missed train again. As night fell, the train slowly set off. The familiar voices in the carriage, mingling with the rhythmic clatter of wheels against tracks, blended into a nostalgic lullaby (怀旧的摇篮曲). Lying on the bunk, I felt the gentle sway of the train, as though cradled in the arms of Mother Earth...Years have blurred the details of my memory, and I have sketched it one by one with my imagination.
Finally, the train arrived at my hometown. The moment I met my grandma, the long-accumulated yearning in my heart burst out like a tidal stream now...
1.Why does the author describe the train journey in her childhood?
A.To compare the train journey with air travel.
B.To show the inconvenience of traveling by train.
C.To emphasize the long distance to her hometown.
D.To highlight the beauty and warmth of the train journey.
2.What does the underlined word “sparse” in paragraph 3 most probably mean?
A.Rare. B.Frequent. C.Regular. D.Complex.
3.What is the author’s attitude towards modern travel by air?
A.Indifferent. B.Grateful. C.Dissatisfied. D.Enthusiastic.
4.What can be a suitable title for the text?
A.Memories of My Hometown B.Old tracks Back Home
C.The Change of Transportation D.The Beauty of Air Travel
【答案】1.D 2.A 3.C 4.B
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,主要讲述了作者通过停运后又恢复的火车路线回到家乡的怀旧之旅。
1.推理判断题。根据文章第二段“As the train journeyed north, the scenery outside the window gradually transformed from the gentle charm of the south to the vast openness of the north. Everything felt so beautiful, even the clamor (喧闹) inside the carriage carried a warmth.(随着火车向北行驶,窗外的景色逐渐由南方的温婉妩媚变成了北方的广阔开阔。一切都是那么美好,就连车厢里的喧闹声也带着一种温暖)”可知,作者描写她童年的火车之旅是为了突出火车之旅的美丽和温暖。故选D。
2.词句猜测题。根据文章第三段“that direct train quietly closed down. The rails rusted into dotted lines in memory, and my hometown became a faint shadow on a photographic negative(那列直达列车悄悄停运了。铁轨在记忆中锈迹斑斑,我的家乡成了底片上模糊的影子)”可知,在文章的上下文中作者开始上小学后,那列直达列车悄然停运了。铁轨在记忆中锈蚀成了点点痕迹,说明回故乡的旅行变得稀少、罕见,sparse的意思是“稀少”,和rare意思相近。故选A。
3.推理判断题。根据文章第四段“Yet, the journey no longer held the leisurely comfort of childhood it became a long, exhausting journey. We rushed to the airport before daybreak, weighed down by luggage check-ins. The cramped cabin and turbulent air currents added discomfort, while navigating the maze-like airport and enduring hours of road travel left us arriving under completely dark skies. There was no time to admire the scenery, let alone the endless sea of clouds outside the airplane window.(然而,这段旅程不再有童年的悠闲舒适,它变成了一段漫长而疲惫的旅程。我们在黎明前赶到机场,行李托运工作压得我们喘不过气来。狭窄的机舱和汹涌的气流增加了我们的不适,而在迷宫般的机场穿行和长时间的公路旅行让我们在完全黑暗的天空下到达。没有时间欣赏风景,更不用说飞机窗外无尽的云海了)”可知,作者将现代航空旅行描述为“漫长而疲惫的跋涉”,有“狭窄的客舱”和“颠簸的气流”。她还提到没有时间欣赏风景,这表明与童年时更悠闲、风景更美的火车旅行相比,她有一种不满意的感觉。故选C。
4.主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第一段“Holding my hands, my grandparents boarded a green-skinned train in Hangzhou, which rocked and swayed for twenty-five hours straight to Ulanqab (乌兰察布市), Inner Mongolia. This is my childhood memory of returning home.(我的祖父母牵着我的手,在杭州登上了一列绿皮火车,火车摇晃了25个小时,直达内蒙古乌兰察布。这是我童年回家的记忆)”和倒数第二段“This year, upon hearing that the long-suspended train had resumed operation, an indescribable excitement welled up in my heart. A month ago, I finally boarded this long-missed train again. As night fell, the train slowly set off. The familiar voices in the carriage, mingling with the rhythmic clatter of wheels against tracks, blended into a nostalgic lullaby (怀旧的摇篮曲). Lying on the bunk, I felt the gentle sway of the train, as though cradled in the arms of Mother Earth...Years have blurred the details of my memory, and I have sketched it one by one with my imagination.(今年,当我听到停运已久的火车恢复运行的消息时,一种说不出的兴奋涌上心头。一个月前,我终于再次登上了这趟久违的列车。夜幕降临,火车慢慢地开动了。车厢里熟悉的声音,加上车轮有节奏地撞击轨道的声音,混成了一首怀旧的摇篮曲。躺在铺位上,我感觉到火车的轻柔摇晃,仿佛被大地母亲抱在怀里……岁月模糊了我记忆中的细节,我用想象把它一一勾勒出来)”可知,本文主要讲述了作者通过停运后又恢复的火车路线回到家乡的怀旧之旅。它突出了与过去的情感联系,以及火车之旅在她记忆中的重要性,因此最恰当的题目是B选项“Old tracks Back Home(家乡的旧轨道)”。故选B。
【例2-2】(2025·浙江宁波海曙&4地·一模)
Last spring, my neighbor Donna and I, both in our seventies, spent several hours in the glorious sunshine enjoying the new season. When it was time to sit down and relax, Donna pulled out her red metal chair from her garage (车库), and I sat on an overturned plastic bucket (桶). It was fun to catch up on the news that we had missed during the long winter indoors.
However, over the next few days, it turned out that we needed more than a chair and a bucket which were not quite comfortable. Donna decided we needed a bench. After dismissing unsuitable options from local stores, she found a perfect one online. The next day it arrived. Excitedly, she opened the box and started putting it together. We proudly high-fived each other as the pieces joined up and the bench started to look like one. After a few minutes’ assistance from a neighbour, it was complete. What’s more, it was the perfect fit for two 70-somethings to carry on late afternoon chats.
Soon, the bench attracted other neighbors. One day, someone called out from the sidewalk, “What do you do on that bench?” Quick-thinking Donna called back, “It’s our ‘Thinking Bench’! We think about important things happening in our lives.” Then, the name gradually evolved—after one neighbor sat alone deep in thought, he declared it a “Decision-Making Bench”; another time, when Donna was caught napping, she insisted she was “meditating (冥想) ”, adding yet another name.
Last fall, with the temperature falling, we came to the end of sitting outdoors. We were faced with one dilemma-what to do about it in the winter? Well, we sat down and thought and meditated and decided to put it in Donna’s garage for the winter.
When I glimpsed it a few times over the next months, the bench sat lonely, holding empty flower pots, and some flat, old boxes. But now after a long winter, spring flowers are ready to bloom in the warm sunshine, and we neighbours are ready to welcome “The Bench” back into our lives.
1. Donna decided to replace the chair and bucket to _________.
A.lighten the carrying load B.attract more neighbours
C.get better seating for chats D.adapt to warmer weather
2. How did the bench get its various names?
A.From items placed on it. B.From seasonal discussions.
C.From users’ activities on it. D.From Donna’s creative ideas.
3. Why are pots and boxes mentioned in the last paragraph?
A.To suggest the flowers would soon be planted. B.To show the bench was not serving its purpose.
C.To describe the bench’s practical use in winter. D.To explain why the bench needed winter storage.
4. What does “The Bench” represent by the story’s end?
A.A symbol of community bonds. B.A solution to the aging problem.
C.A reminder of the past summer. D.A memory of a valued online order.
【答案】1.C 2.C 3.B 4.A
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,讲述了作者和邻居唐娜在户外放置长椅,长椅吸引邻居们一起聊天、思考、做决定,最终成为邻里情谊象征的故事。
1.细节理解题。根据第二段中的“However, over the next few days, it turned out that we needed more than a chair and a bucket which were not quite comfortable. Donna decided we needed a bench.(然而,在接下来的几天里,事实证明,我们需要的不仅仅是一把椅子和一只不太舒服的水桶。唐娜决定我们需要一条长凳。)”以及“What’s more, it was the perfect fit for two 70-somethings to carry on late afternoon chats.(更重要的是,它非常适合两位70多岁的老人进行傍晚的聊天。)”可知,唐娜决定把椅子和桶换成长凳是为了让聊天时有更好的座位。故选C。
2.细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Then, the name gradually evolved — after one neighbor sat alone deep in thought, he declared it a ‘Decision-Making Bench’; another time, when Donna was caught napping, she insisted she was ‘meditating’, adding yet another name.(然后,这个名字逐渐演变——一位邻居独自坐着沉思后,他宣称这是一个‘决策长椅’;还有一次,当唐娜被发现打盹时,她坚持说自己在‘冥想’,于是又加了一个名字。)”可知,长凳的名字来源于使用者在长凳上的活动。故选C。
3.推理判断题。根据最后一段“When I glimpsed it a few times over the next months, the bench sat lonely, holding empty flower pots, and some flat, old boxes. But now after a long winter, spring flowers are ready to bloom in the warm sunshine, and we neighbours are ready to welcome “The Bench” back into our lives.(在接下来的几个月里,当我瞥见它几次时,长凳孤零零地立着,上面放着空花盆和一些扁平的旧盒子。但是现在,经过一个漫长的冬天,春天的花朵已经准备好在温暖的阳光下绽放,我们邻居们也准备好欢迎‘长凳’回到我们的生活中。)”可知,长凳上放着空花盆和旧盒子,说明长凳在冬天没有发挥它的作用,即让邻居们一起聊天、思考、做决定。故选B。
4.推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Soon, the bench attracted other neighbors.(很快,长凳吸引了其他邻居。)”以及最后一段中的“But now after a long winter, spring flowers are ready to bloom in the warm sunshine, and we neighbours are ready to welcome ‘The Bench’ back into our lives.(但是现在,经过一个漫长的冬天,春天的花朵已经准备好在温暖的阳光下绽放,我们邻居们也准备好欢迎‘长凳’回到我们的生活中。)”可知,长凳吸引了邻居们一起聊天、思考、做决定,它最终象征着邻里间的情谊联结。故选A。

解题核心思路:看懂故事,悟出道理。
一、解题核心:抓准“故事线”和“情感线”
1. 先理清“故事线”——弄明白到底发生了什么
就像看电视剧,你得先把剧情捋顺。谁?在哪儿?发生了什么事?结果怎么样?
比如例2-1,故事线就是:童年坐绿皮火车回家(温馨美好)→ 长大后火车停运,改坐飞机(疲惫不堪)→ 火车恢复,再次乘坐(重拾感动)。
2. 再抓住“情感线”——体会作者的心情变化
故事里的人是什么心情?这条线往往直接指向文章主旨。
例2-1里,作者的情感从童年的“美好温暖”,变成坐飞机时的“疲惫不满”,最后是重坐火车时的“激动怀念”。这一对比,作者想表达什么?(显然是更珍视从前那种有温度的慢生活)
例2-2里,情感从“想要更舒服”到长椅带来“邻里相聚的快乐”,最后长椅成了大家生活中期待的一部分。这说明什么?(长椅不只是椅子,更是邻里感情的联结)
二、不同题型的解题方法
· 细节题:老老实实回原文找!题干里的时间、地点、人名都是路标,帮你快速定位。
· 推理题:别自己瞎猜!答案藏在人物的行为、对话和感受里。比如,作者为什么不喜欢坐飞机了?(因为文章里详细描写了赶飞机的狼狈和机舱的不适)。
· 主旨题:答案往往藏在三个地方——故事的结果、作者在结尾的抒情、或者那个最触动你的情节里。多问自己一句:“作者讲这个故事,最想告诉我什么?”
注|意|事|项
1. 勿陷情节表面:不能只满足于读懂故事本身。高考考的是你能否透过故事,看到它背后的情感和道理。
2. 情感转折点是题眼:故事里人物心情发生明显变化的地方,往往就会出题。比如从喜欢到不喜欢,从失落到开心。
3. 留意“有深意的物件”:文中的某个东西往往不只是东西。比如例2-1的“绿皮火车”代表的是情怀和回忆;例2-2的“长椅”代表的是邻里友情。它们通常是理解主旨的关键。
4. 答案必须在文中有证据:相信自己的第一感觉,但那个感觉必须能从文章里找到句子支撑。

For hundreds of years, my town has been having a commemoration (纪念) day to honor late heroes making a big difference in our town. The event has always been organized by a team of volunteers until they age and pass the task onto the next generation.
We always close our ceremony by reading the names of the late heroes over a soft drumming (击鼓). As the years passed and memories faded, the names of the dead were becoming a blur (模糊的记忆) and in some cases meaningless. More townspeople had difficulty appreciating the significance of the day and fewer were willing to join the team to continue the tradition, there being one volunteer taking charge for a twenty-year period. Attendance was suffering as well. Eventually, the celebration had become boring and uninspired.
Our senior volunteers were worried that if townspeople continued to lose sight of heroes’ contribution, our commemoration day would evolve into something unrecognizable. Something needed to be done. Specially selected volunteers were sought to help ease the team’s burden. It was an honor for me to be asked to assist.
I volunteered to give a speech for the coming commemoration day. The focus of my planned speech would be to change the reading of the names and honorable title of our late heroes from something routine into something that would make it clear that these were genuine heroes who once walked among us. I tried contacting their family members, distant relatives, and old friends. Amazed, everyone was so thrilled to share so many fond stories and old photos of their loved ones that I felt as if I knew each hero personally.
I integrated all those into my speech, which turned out well received, acting as the catalyst (催化剂) that got our commemoration day observance back on track. Townspeople, once reminded, were happy to dive in and show their respect.
1. Why was the commemoration day becoming less popular in the town?
A.The number of late heroes there was decreasing.
B.The volunteers of the event were not well organized.
C.Drumming made the atmosphere too sad for the public.
D.People were gradually forgetting the meaning behind it.
2. What specific change did the author make to the ceremony?
A.He replaced reading names with drumming.
B.He made it to bring the heroes’ names to life.
C.He organized a new team of young volunteers.
D.He invited family members to read the names.
3. How did townspeople respond to commemoration day after the speech?
A.They became more involved. B.They lost interest in the event.
C.They preferred to be new heroes. D.They provided financial support.
4. What can be the best title for the text?
A.The Story of a Town’s Holiday B.The Life Stories of Late Heroes
C.A Speech That Saved a Tradition D.Honoring Heroes: A Fading Faith

In Hazelwood, a group called Seedlings (幼苗) for Tomorrow gives every child three plants to grow in their own garden. Unlike a public park, these plants are theirs to keep forever. Kids “check out” at the city’s greenhouse not with money, but by joining the group’s Garden Buddy project. This project pairs each young gardener with an adult guide. They have a 45-minute virtual meeting each week to learn about gardening and nature. “Every kid should feel the joy of growing something with their own hands,” said Orson Pike, the project director.
Orson started the non-profit organization Seedlings for Tomorrow in 2022. Soon he realized that just giving away plants wasn’t enough. “Some groups think dropping off supplies is helping. But if people don’t know how to use them, it’s like giving them a stone,” he explained. That’s why the program focuses on teaching skills — like how to water plants properly, what seasons are best for planting, and how to protect flowers from insects. At the greenhouse, children can pick from sunflowers, strawberries, lavender, and even small vegetable kits. There are guidebooks in both English and Welsh.
Orson is already 70, but he’s always been enthusiastic about the growth of the next generation. He believes that by letting kids choose what they love, they’ll grow into passionate gardeners. Many kids even share their progress with classmates, making gardening a social activity.
To attract more families, Seedlings for Tomorrow visits local primary schools and community centers. Orson also hopes to build small green stations around town where people can exchange seeds and gardening tips. The project has received $20,000 from the UK-based Ecology Fund. The fund manager Elara Vane said, “Such programs are essential— they teach patience, responsibility and love for the environment, which helps kids both in and out of school,” adding that parents have noticed their children becoming more confident since joining the project.
1. What can a kid do by joining Garden Buddy project?
A.Volunteer at the city’s greenhouse. B.Acquire gardening knowledge online.
C.Sell garden plants to the adult guide. D.Receive free three plants every week.
2. What philosophy does Orson’s project demonstrate?
A.Hard work is the mother of success. B.Guide others, and you will learn twice.
C.Teach a man to fish, not give him a fish. D.Creative activities involve being confident.
3. How does the author highlight the project’s value in the last paragraph?
A.By quoting an official. B.By giving examples.
C.By providing statistics. D.By making a comparison.
4. Which word best describes Orson?
A.Adventurous. B.Determined. C.Caring. D.Flexible.

【例3-1】(2021全国甲卷C篇)
When I was 9, we packed up our home in Los Angeles and arrived at Heathrow, London on a gray January morning. Everyone in the family settled quickly into the city except me. Without my beloved beaches and endless blue-sky days, I felt at a loss and out of place. Until I made a discovery.
Southbank, at an eastern bend in the Thames, is the center of British skateboarding, where the continuous crashing of skateboards left your head ringing .I loved it. I soon made friends with the local skaters. We spoke our own language. And my favorite: Safe. Safe meant cool. It meant hello. It meant don't worry about it. Once, when trying a certain trick on the beam(横杆), I fell onto the stones, damaging a nerve in my hand, and Toby came over, helping me up: Safe, man. Safe. A few minutes later, when I landed the trick, my friends beat their boards loud, shouting: “ Safe! Safe! Safe!” And that's what mattered — landing tricks, being a good skater.
When I was 15, my family moved to Washington. I tried skateboarding there, but the locals were far less welcoming. Within a couple of years, I'd given it up.
When I returned to London in 2004, I found myself wandering down to Southbank, spending hours there. I've traveled back several times since, most recently this past spring. The day was cold but clear: tourists and Londoners stopped to watch the skaters. Weaving(穿梭)among the kids who rushed by on their boards, I found my way to the beam. Then a rail-thin teenager, in a baggy white T-shirt, skidded(滑)up to the beam. He sat next to me. He seemed not to notice the man next to him. But soon I caught a few of his glances. “I was a local here 20 years ago,” I told him. Then, slowly, he began to nod his head. “Safe, man. Safe.”
“Yeah,” I said. “Safe.”
1. What can we learn about the author soon after he moved to London?
A. He felt disappointed. B. He gave up his hobby.
C. He liked the weather there. D. He had disagreements with his family.
2. What do the underlined words “Safe! Safe! Safe!” probably mean?
A. Be careful! B. Well done! C. No way! D. Don't worry!
3. Why did the author like to spend time in Southbank when he returned to London?
A. To join the skateboarding. B. To make new friends.
C. To learn more tricks. D. To relive his childhood days
4. What message does the author seem to convey in the text?
A. Children should learn a second language. B. Sport is necessary for children's health.
C. Children need a sense of belonging D. Seeing the world is a must for children.
【答案】1. A 2. B 3. D 4. C

Thirty-two-year-old Ethan had spent a decade building his career as a software engineer in the city, but burnout and loneliness had left him feeling lost. When his favorite childhood watch — gifted by his father who passed away when he was 12 — stopped working, he didn’t just see a broken timepiece; he saw the last real link to the man who’d taught him to fix things with patience.
Desperate to repair it, Ethan searched online and found “Maggie’s Repair Shop,” a tiny store in a quiet neighborhood on the city’s outskirts. Unlike the modern tech shops he was used to, Maggie’s was filled with tools, old-fashioned clocks, and photos of strangers’ cherished items. Maggie, a silver-haired woman in her 60s, smiled as she took the watch. “This one has stories,” she said, turning it over in her hands. “Give me a week.”
Ethan visited every evening after work, not just to check on the watch, but to escape his stressful job. He watched Maggie repair a faded quilt, a chipped ceramic mug, and a rusted bicycle, listening as customers shared stories of their items — gifts from loved ones, mementos of important moments. “Fixing things isn’t just about parts,” Maggie told him one night. “It’s about honoring what they mean to people.”
On the seventh day, Maggie handed him the watch. It ticked steadily, its leather strap polished. “I added a tiny engraving on the back,” she said. Ethan flipped it over — there was his father’s favorite quote: “Patience mends more than metal.” As he thanked her, a couple came in with a broken music box, and Ethan found himself offering to help Maggie sand its wooden case.
Weeks later, Ethan quit his high-pressure job and became Maggie’s part-time assistant. He learned to repair small items, listened to customers’ stories, and slowly rediscovered joy in the quiet, meaningful work. The watch hadn’t just been fixed-it had led him to a life that felt rooted, not rushed. Sometimes, he realized, the things we try to repair end up repairing us.
1. Why was the watch so important to him?
A.It was an expensive antique timepiece.
B.It was a precious gift from his late father.
C.It had helped him get through hard workdays.
D.It was the only thing left from his childhood home.
2. What can we infer about Maggie from the passage?
A.She began to fix the watch a week later.
B.She used to run a modern technology store.
C.She understands the emotional value of objects.
D.She repairs items only for close friends and family.
3. Why did Ethan start visiting Maggie’s Repair Shop every evening?
A.He hoped to learn repair skills from Maggie.
B.He needed to finish his work in a quiet place.
C.He was asked to help Maggie with daily operations.
D.He wanted to ask about the watch and relax himself.
4. What is the best title for the passage?
A.A Broken Watch and a Mended Heart
B.An Experience of Repairing Valuable Items
C.A Father’s Quote That Changed Everything
D.Leaving a Hig-Pressure Job for Friendship

【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了软件工程师Ethan因职业倦怠和孤独感到迷茫,为修复已故父亲赠予的珍贵手表,结识了修理店老板Maggie,在见证Maggie修复物品背后情感价值的过程中,Ethan不仅修复了手表,更找回了生活的意义,最终改变人生轨迹的故事。
1.细节理解题。根据第一段“When his favorite childhood watch — gifted by his father who passed away when he was 12 — stopped working, he didn’t just see a broken timepiece; he saw the last real link to the man who’d taught him to fix things with patience. (他最珍爱的童年手表——那是12岁时去世的父亲送给他的——突然罢工了。他看到的不只是个坏掉的手表,更是与那位教会他耐心修理东西的父亲之间最后的纽带)”可知,这块手表是Ethan 12岁时去世的父亲送给他的,对他来说非常重要,因为它是已故父亲送给他的珍贵礼物。故选B项。
2.推理判断题。根据第三段中玛姬说的话“Fixing things isn’t just about parts,” Maggie told him one night. “It’s about honoring what they mean to people.” (“修理东西不仅仅是关于零件,”一天晚上Maggie告诉他,“而是关于尊重它们对人们的意义。”)”可知,Maggie认为修理物品不仅仅是关于零件,更重要的是尊重物品对人们的意义。由此推知,Maggie理解物品的情感价值。故选C项。
3.细节理解题。根据第三段“Ethan visited every evening after work, not just to check on the watch, but to escape his stressful job. (Ethan每天下班后都去,不仅仅是为了查看手表,也是为了逃避他压力大的工作)”可知Ethan开始每晚都去Maggie的修理店,不仅仅是为了查看手表的修理情况,更是为了逃避他压力大的工作,放松自己。故选D项。
4.主旨大意题。文章主要讲述了软件工程师Ethan因职业倦怠和孤独感到迷茫,为修复已故父亲赠予的珍贵手表,结识了修理店老板Maggie,在见证Maggie修复物品背后情感价值的过程中,Ethan不仅修复了手表,更找回了生活的意义。由此可知,A项“一块坏了的手表和一颗被修复的心”最符合文章主旨,既体现了手表的修理,又体现了Ethan内心的修复和转变。故选A项。
解|题|技|巧
核心原则:由物及情:别被物品的表面描述迷惑,要看到它背后的人和情。就像修手表那篇文章,表面是修表,实际是修心。
解题三步走:
第一步:找到“物”,弄清它的来历:快速锁定文章核心物品是什么
例3-1的核心是Southbank这个滑板场地;例3-2的核心是父亲留下的手表
关键问题:这物品对主人公为什么特别?
第二步:抓住“事”,理清物品背后的故事
物品只是一个引子,真正重要的是它串联起来的人和事
例3-1:通过滑板场地,讲的是“我”从孤独到找到归属感的故事
例3-2:通过修手表,讲的是“我”从迷茫到找回人生意义的故事
第三步:悟出“情”,理解深层情感
这是最关键的一步!要问自己:作者到底想通过这个物品表达什么?
例3-1表达“归属感”的重要;例3-2表达的是“有些东西看似我们在修它,其实是它在修我们”
注|意|事|项
1. 别光盯着物品本身:手表不只是手表,它是父爱的象征;滑板场不只是场地,它是心灵的归宿。
2. 情感线索最重要:注意作者心情的变化,这往往是解题钥匙。从失落→找到慰藉→感悟人生。
3. 物品的象征意义是考点:出题人最爱考这个!要多想想“这个物品代表了什么?”
4. 结尾段落是宝藏:像“有些东西看似我们在修它,其实是它在修我们”这种句子,往往直接揭示了主旨。

Last September, I drove to a protected wetland near my home in Oakland, California. It was the first time that I had gone somewhere merely to watch birds. Since this unique journey, I’ve seen 452 species, including 307 this year alone.
In some birding circles, people claim anyone who looks at birds is a birder. I’ve cared about birds and other animals for my entire life, and I’ve written about them throughout my two decades as a science writer, but I mark the moment when I specifically chose to devote time and energy to them as the moment I became a birder.
Birding has significantly increased the time spent outdoors. It has motivated me to explore Oakland in ways I never would have. While birding, I seem impervious to heat, cold, hunger and thirst. My senses focus only on the present, and my head becomes extremely untroubled. I also feel a much deeper connection to the natural world, which I have long written about but always remained slightly distant from.
These recent years have taught me that I’m smaller when I’m not actively looking after myself, that I have value for my world and my community beyond ceaseless production, and that pursuits like birding that encourage joy, wonder and bond with places are not sidebars to a fulfilled life but the essence.
It’s easy to perceive birding as something you do when you’re not working, not being productive, and even an escape from reality. Instead, for me, birding means absorbing myself in the present moment: my thoughts quiet, my senses heightened, and I respond to real, observable events in nature with focused awareness without being distracted (使分心) by small, unimportant matters. I don’t need to know who the main characters are on social media and what everyone is commenting on them, when I can instead spend an hour trying to locate a rare bird.
1. Why did the author think the journey to the wetland special?
A.He protected bird species there. B.He fell in love with birding again.
C.He made his true start as a birder. D.He completed his writing during it.
2. What does the underlined word “impervious” in paragraph 3 mean?
A.Attentive. B.Subject. C.Resistant. D.Sensitive.
3. What lesson does the author probably learn?
A.Outdoor pursuits are a must-have. B.Self-care can help fuel self-worth.
C.Happiness serves as the core of life. D.Productivity defines personal value.
4. How does the author view birding according to the last paragraph?
A.A complete engagement with reality. B.A temporary escape from busy life.
C.A training in focus and observation. D.A substitute for online activities.

My parents did not bat an eye when I was still playing with Barbies in sixth grade. My classmates were not so understanding. 12-year-old girls weren’t supposed to play with Barbies and baby dolls anymore. Due to all the teases (取笑), I started playing with the dolls less and less and put them in a large storage bin under my twin bed. It was so full that I couldn’t even attach a lid to it.
My cat, Strawberry, would sleep with me each night and greet me every day when I got home from school. When we found out that Strawberry was pregnant (怀孕的), I couldn’t have been more excited. I got a big basket and as many old sheets as I could find, so Strawberry and her kittens would be comfortable. As Strawberry got bigger, she began to sleep in my bed less and less and in her basket more and more.
Two days before Strawberry’s due date, I was playing at a friend’s house. My mom came to get me early because she hadn’t seen Strawberry all afternoon and was worried about her. I immediately jumped in the car, knowing that she was probably hiding somewhere having kittens. As we drove home, my mom explained that my brothers had their friends over and were being awfully loud, so Strawberry probably didn’t feel safe in the basket I made for her.
When I ran into my room, I heard the cries of tiny kittens. I looked all over my room, but I couldn’t find where the cries were coming from. Finally, I searched under my bed, and the cries got louder. I managed to pull out my Barbie bin and found sweet, tiny kittens surrounded by a sea of blood-covered Barbies.
I wasn’t as upset as I thought I would be. It was time to let go of my Barbie dolls. Sometimes, childhood slips away without you realizing it, and other times it ends with something really important, like a bin filled with bloody Barbies.

Kathy Ho teaches high school inside Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital Stanford (LPCH). “Sometimes I don’t like saying that I’m a teacher,” says Ho. “People get in their minds an idea of what teachers do, but that’s not really what it is here.”
“Here” is room 386, where each year, about 500 LPCH patients also become students. The hospital school is free of parents, doctors, and medical procedures. It’s a place of learning. About half of Ho’s students stay for a week or less; others are there for more than a year. Most of Ho’s students will recover, which means that preparing them to return to school is an increasingly important component of care.
Still, in room 386, academics don’t come first. Physical health and mental health are the priority. “If you’re scared about something and thinking only about that, there’s no way you’re going to be able to learn,” Ho says. “I’m a coach, an adviser, and a comforter, and that’s what it means to be a hospital teacher.”
There are up to 30 students at any given time in Ho’s class. She generally works with their regular teachers to get lessons and tests being used at their home schools. Some teachers don’t give the kids any assignments; they express sympathy instead. “I feel like it is a disservice to the kids,” Ho says. “They think their teachers don’t care about their schoolwork.”
Ho recognizes the psychological benefit of helping kids keep up with their peers (同龄人) outside the hospital. “I actually think the medicine is only a small piece for some problems,” says Julie Good, director of pain management services at LPCH. “It’s about problem-solving around what it means to have a full life. Those kids have dreams. School can keep those dreams alive by giving kids a way to learn and grow.”
1. Who does Ho teach at LPCH?
A.Sick children. B.Young nurses.
C.Medical students. D.Patients’ parents.
2. What is a characteristic of Ho’s job?
A.Prioritizing academics. B.Encouraging innovation.
C.Treating various diseases. D.Playing multiple roles.
3. What does the underlined word “it” refer to in paragraph 4?
A.Offering regular lessons. B.Paying extra attention.
C.Assigning no schoolwork. D.Showing no sympathy.
4. How does the hospital school benefit the students according to Good?
A.It eases peer pressure. B.It helps them live in hope.
C.It frees them from aches. D.It entertains them with stories.

“I am not crazy,” says Dr. William Farber, shortly after performing acupuncture (针灸) on a rabbit. “I am ahead of my time.” If he seems a little defensive, it might be because even some of his coworkers occasionally laugh at his unusual methods. But Farber is certain he’ll have the last laugh. He’s one of a small but growing number of American veterinarians (兽医) now practicing “holistic” medicine-combining traditional Western treatments with acupuncture, chiropractic (按摩疗法) and herbal medicine.
Farber, a graduate of Colorado State University, started out as a more conventional veterinarian. He became interested in alternative treatments 20 years ago when he suffered from terrible back pain. He tried muscle-relaxing drugs but found little relief. Then he tried acupuncture, an ancient Chinese practice, and was amazed that he improved after two or three treatments. What worked on a veterinarian seemed likely to work on his patients. So, after studying the techniques for a couple of years, he began offering them to pets.
Leigh Tindale’s dog Charlie had a serious heart condition. After Charlie had a heart attack, Tindale says, she was prepared to put him to sleep, but Farber’s treatments eased her dog’s suffering so much that she was able to keep him alive for an additional five months. And Priscilla Dewing reports that her horse, Nappy, “moves more easily and rides more comfortably” after a chiropractic adjustment.
Farber is certain that the holistic approach will grow more popular with time, and if the past is any indication, he may be right: Since 1982, membership in the American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association has grown from 30 to over 700. “Sometimes it surprises me that it works so well,” he says. “I will do anything to help an animal. That’s my job.”
1. What do some of Farber’s coworkers think of him?
A.He’s odd. B.He’s strict. C.He’s brave. D.He’s rude.
2. Why did Farber decide to try acupuncture on pets?
A.He was trained in it at university. B.He was inspired by another veterinarian.
C.He benefited from it as a patient. D.He wanted to save money for pet owners.
3. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A.Steps of a chiropractic treatment. B.The complexity of veterinarians’ work.
C.Examples of rare animal diseases. D.The effectiveness of holistic medicine.
4. Why does the author mention the American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association?
A.To prove Farber’s point. B.To emphasize its importance.
C.To praise veterinarians. D.To advocate animal protection.

When was the last time you used a telephone box? I mean to make an actual phone call — not to shelter from the rain. Ages ago, right? The last time I used a phone box for its intended purpose was…2006. I was conducting auditions (试演) for my play in my tiny old shared house in London. Hoping to impress some talented actors to come and work for me for nothing, I spread some throws over the sofas and lit candles to make it seem a bit more ”young professional”.
As I rushed outdoors to empty the wastepaper baskets, the door swung shut behind me. Suddenly I was locked outside. My mobile phone was inside, but luckily there was a telephone box across the street. So, I called Directory Assistance, got put through to our landlady’s managing agent, and had a spare key sent to me with just enough time to get back in before the actors arrived.
As it has been many years since I last used one, I should hardly be surprised that then are no longer any public telephones near my house. The last one standing has just been turn into a “mini community library”: any passer-by can “borrow” a book from its shelves return it later, or replace it with another title from their own collection.
For a few months after the “library” opened, I didn’t bother taking a look, as I had assumed that it would be stuffed full of cheese love stories. Then I noticed folk conducting spring cleans dropping boxes of voluminous books on various subjects there. And these books were free. This unbeatable price-point encouraged me to experiment with dozens of titles that I would never normally consider buying. And I’ve discovered some great books!
If I ever get trapped outside my house again, my local telephone box will, sadly no longer be able to connect me with my keys. But it can certainly keep me entertained while I wait for my wife to rescue me.

When Dr. Daniel Olaiya isn’t presenting Operation Ouch! on CBBC, he is working as a National Health Service doctor, specializing in anesthesiology (麻醉学). He is also a flight doctor, which means he works on air ambulances.
Olaiya’s interest in science didn’t start with school lessons. Instead, it grew from his love of science fiction. He was a big fan of superheroes, in particular the X-Men comics. His favourite character was Havok, who can release powerful energy, which Olaiya thought was really cool. Another hero that he admired was the film character Indiana Jones, an adventurous archaeologist and professor at a university. He used to dream of becoming “Indiana Jones” in his own way.
Becoming a doctor wasn’t always Olaiya’s dream, but by the end of secondary school, he viewed it as a career where he would deal with people, go on adventures and use his scientific knowledge, which was both enjoyable and challenging. Pre-medical studies were really difficult because there was a lot to study. He struggled with it, but when he started his degree at the University of Exeter, he says, “That was when the fun began.” He loved outdoor adventures and activities while he was studying there.
In 2016, Olaiya joined FameLab, a global science communication competition, to share scientific ideas with audience. He delivered a creative three-minute talk on the science of happiness. The next year, he participated again, despite arriving an hour late due to heavy traffic. The talk ended up being a success and Olaiya made it through to FameLab’s national final.
Science communication is still an important part of Olaiya’s job—he is now one of the presenters on Operation Ouch! on CBBC. His most important advice for any young doctor is to work really hard at school and “dive as deep as you can into the science and the human aspect, because you can’t have one without the other in medicine.”
1. What initially sparked Olaiya’s scientific interest?
A.Characters in science fiction. B.A global speech competition.
C.Formal classroom education. D.Medical training in university.
2. Why did Olaiya take part in FameLab?
A.To win its final prize. B.To better spread science.
C.To be a TV presenter. D.To show his medical skills.
3. Which of the following words can best describe Olaiya?
A.Reserved and talented. B.Independent and ambitious.
C.Warm-hearted and creative. D.Adventurous and determined.
4. What does Olaiya’s advice highlight?
A.All efforts will pay off one day. B.It is never too late to learn science.
C.Medicine needs humanity and science. D.Caring for patients overweighs skills.

Need a ride to the doctor? I’ll be glad to take you. Does your dog need to be walked while you’re on vacation? No problem.
Relatives, colleagues, neighbors, and even casual acquaintances all seemed to have my number. In my opinion, doing good for others could not only benefit those in need but also make me feel good. And I was OK with that until one afternoon when I received a call from an acquaintance of my dad’s.
This man I barely knew phoned to inform me that I was to drive him to a medical appointment the following Tuesday. I checked my calendar. Then I told him as nicely as possible that I couldn’t help him that day because of my tight schedule. His reaction wasn’t very kind.
At that moment, I checked my calendar carefully. I was averaging 14 good deeds a month. I stepped away from the calendar, eyes finally opened, and took a closer look at myself in the mirror. Dark circles shadowed my eyes. I didn’t feel like my usual energetic self. Clearly, it was time for me to change.
I brought my concerns to my friend Lucille. Though she was another busy woman, she still had time to socialize and get a good night’s rest. How did she manage all that? She gave me her secret in one word: limits. She told me not to run every time someone calls. Instead, ask the person some key questions: Is this an emergency? Is someone else available to help you? Is this something that can wait? And, the question I knew I should have been considering all along: Is this something you could do for yourself?
Now I consider those questions before rushing to another’s aid. Thanks to cutting down the favors I do for others, I have more energy and sleep better at night. Though I was fearful cutting back on my kindness would have met with disapproval, those friends and relatives started showing some real appreciation for my help. Now, sometimes, they even help me when I’m in need. And that may be the greatest benefit of all.
1. What initially motivated the author to help others frequently?
A.Her desire to expand her social circle. B.Her belief that it was a win-win approach.
C.The favor that others had done for her before. D.The encouragement from relatives and neighbors.
2. What’s the primary turning point for the author?
A.Physical tiredness became unbearable. B.Her friend directly pointed out her problem.
C.A stranger’s unkind response shocked her. D.She was too busy to take care of her family.
3. What can we infer about Lucille’s approach to helping others?
A.She always put her own needs ahead of others’ requests.
B.She never helped anyone unless it was an emergency.
C.She turned certain tasks over to others systematically.
D.She practiced selective assistance with boundaries.
4. What is the main lesson the author has learned from her experience?
A.Helping others is meaningless unless you benefit too.
B.Sometimes saying no is a choice beneficial to both sides.
C.Refusing others’ requests tends to result in dissatisfaction.
D.Good time management is crucial to interpersonal relationships.

It was my first trip to Paris, a city I’d dreamed of visiting since childhood. I wandered along the Seine River, snapped photos of the Eiffel Tower, and soaked in the charming atmosphere. However, disaster struck on the third day: when I reached for my bag at a crowded metro station, I found it empty — my phone, wallet, and passport were all gone. Panic surged through me as I realized I had no way to contact anyone or pay for food and accommodation.
Desperate and lost, I wandered aimlessly down a quiet street, trying to hold back tears. A kind-looking elderly man noticed my distress (困境) and approached me. “Are you in trouble, young lady?” he asked in broken English. I explained my situation, and his eyes filled with sympathy. Without hesitation, he offered to take me to the local police station to report the theft. On the way, he bought me a cup of hot coffee and reassured me, “Everything will be okay. Parisians are not as cold as people say.”
At the police station, the officer was patient and helpful, taking down my details and promising to contact me if there was any news. As I left, feeling still anxious, the elderly man insisted on driving me to a nearby youth hostel where he helped me negotiate a discounted rate. He even pressed some euros into my hand, saying, “Buy yourself a proper meal.” I tried to refuse, but he smiled and said, “Pass the kindness on someday.”
A week later, I received a call from the police, my wallet and passport had been found by a tourist who handed them in. Though my phone was never recovered, I had already experienced something far more valuable. That trip taught me that kindness is universal, and even in the darkest moments, strangers can bring light. I left Paris not just with memories of beautiful landmarks, but with a warm heart full of gratitude.

I packed my family into our old car and set off on a 3,000 km trip from Sydney to the outback, hoping to create lasting memories for the kids. My plan seemed ambitious — covering such distances with two young kids in the back might sound crazy to a sensible person.
For most of the journey, we often felt annoyed, arguing about the remaining distance and the discomfort in the car. I’d had outback road trip memories as a kid and wanted my city-raised children to see the vast open spaces.
At a bird-hide near Forbes, we watched a swamp with bright green water and dead trees. Eager to share Australian folk stories, I confidently told the kids that a mysterious creature lived there — but stumbled when they asked me follow-up questions. Their enthusiasm for the smallest joy knocked me for six. At a roadside motel that looked like a movie set, the kids loved being woken by the night trains, cheering each time.
After three days, we reached Broken Hill — a town dominated by a big slag heap (矿渣堆), just as remarkable as I remembered. Surrounded by kilometers of mineral-rich land, its streets imply its mining roots. I feared the mineral museum would bore the kids, but they yelled with joy, thinking it was real-life Minecraft.
The trip wasn’t fantastic — I even complained about hard mattresses on the bed and small towels. But on Easter morning, the kids went wild for a simple egg hunt in our cheap motel room, thrilled to search every corner. I set out to teach the kids about the far reaches of our state, when in fact the kids were the best perspective I could ask for all along.
1. Why did the author organize the trip?

3. What does the author think of the trip?
A.It well fulfills its original purpose.
B.It is worthwhile despite inconveniences.
C.It leaves the family an unpleasant memory.
D.It is an ambitious but disappointing attempt.
4. What key message does the author try to convey through the passage?
A.Travel joy lies in overcoming challenges.
B.City-raised kids can easily adapt to the outback.
C.We gain unexpected insights through kids’ eyes.
D.The outback offers more unique sights than cities.

Amalia Garcia Lopez and Carlos Lafuente Picazo, two final-year university students from Spain, have just wrapped up a nine-day trip to Shanghai—a city they might one day consider calling home.
They were participants in the Young Explorer Program, a program designed to bring international members of Gen Z (Z世代) to China and introduce them to Shanghai. The program offers overseas youth the opportunity to experience Chinese culture firsthand and foster people-to-people exchange and mutual understanding.
Twenty-two young people from different cultural backgrounds took part in the immersive journey. Their route included guided city walks and visits to companies and neighborhoods, offering a deep dive into Shanghai’s society and culture. The group explored museums and heritage sites to learn about the city’s history, visited iconic tourist attractions to experience its modern vibe, engaged with traditional Chinese culture in local communities, and discovered thriving business hubs and revitalized (焕发活力的) historic neighborhoods.
All participants described the trip as both enjoyable and rewarding. During the trip, they were particularly impressed by Shanghai’s diversity — describing the city as “cosmopolitan (国际性的) ” and “dynamic”.
“I was coming to Shanghai with the impression that it’s like a city of the future, and so far, I feel like I’m seeing it for real,” said Picazo. “I think Shanghai is a city made for everyone. I’ve seen people from all over the world here, and you can find whatever you need. It has so much to offer to make whoever comes feel comfortable.”
“One thing that surprised me is that Shanghai has a lot of nature, and it is so green,” Lopez said. “It’s the perfect mix between society and nature, and it’s a city that’s growing every day. So, for me it was quite shocking because I think when cities expand, they tend to just get rid of the trees and the nature.”
1. What does the underlined phrase “wrapped up” in the first paragraph mean?
A.ended successfully. B.Packed carefully.
C.Cover ed completely. D.Celebrated joyfully.
2. What is the Young Explorer Program for?
A.Training Gen Z in global business. B.Exploring Shanghai’s natural scenery.
C.recruiting overseas talent for Shanghai. D.Promoting cultural exchange with China.
3. What impressed the participants most about Shanghai?

C.Its advanced transportation. D.Its traditional architecture.
4. How did Lopez’s perception of Shanghai change?
A.From skeptical to confident. B.From simple to complex.
C.From doubtful to appreciative. D.From abstract to concrete.

Lynn’s world fell apart in 2018. Her son, James, a navy flight surgeon, was fatally injured in a mission and passed away. It was time for Lynn to honour the spirit of a man who had switched from studying commerce engineering to medicine because he wanted to help people. Lynn instructed the hospital to begin the organ donation process. These few words, as hard as they were to say, would soon ripple outward, allowing a man to return to work, a veteran to regain his health, and a cyclist to get back on his bike.
Mike was diagnosed with leukemia in 2004. Six years of treatment and exercise paid off. To celebrate his sixth year without cancer, Mike decided to ride his bike to New York. Unfortunately, his health deteriorated and one evening in 2017, he started having chest pains.
That was when a mother’s very worst day became a stranger’s best. James’ heart was beating in the cancer survivor’s chest now. The morning he woke up from the transplant, Mike found himself recharged.
Of the four letters Lynn had sent to the recipients, one reached Mike. Lynn described her son’s devotion to his country, the fact that he considered everyone a friend, and his love for scuba diving, snowboarding, and motorcycling. These pages painted a picture of just how special his new heart was. Mike carefully composed a response, accurately expressing his gratitude and communicating his desire to stay in touch with James’ family. It was a balm (药膏) for a wound that Lynn felt would never heal. And so began the emails and texts. She even began following Mike’s Instagram posts. “Knowing he was doing well really helped,” she says.
During his recovery, Mike had hatched a plan to cycle cross-country again, from the hospital that treated him to James’ grave. When he began the 1,430-mile journey in 2019, Lynn followed anxiously on his Instagram. Despite setbacks—steep climbs, wrong turns, flat tires—Mike pressed on. On November 20, he arrived at James’ grave, where Lynn waited. They hugged. Then came the tears—not of sorrow, but relief. A part of James lived on, and two strangers connected by loss and hope became family.

At first sight, Easthope doesn’t seem much like a Cassandra (希腊神话人物). She smiles a lot. Her manner is kind and motherly; pushed to name her profession, you might guess at nurse or teacher. But look closer.
Easthope is an emergency planner whose job is to support the survivors of major disasters, in which capacity she acted following the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami and the fire at Grenfell Tower. For two decades, the public knew nothing about this vital work, which went on behind the scenes, though she was hugely admired in what we might call professional disaster circles: a voice of calm and a fountain of wisdom. But in 2023, she published a best-selling book about her career, When the Dust Settles, and that changed. People became very interested in what she did.
“At literary festivals, most authors get questions about their writing process,” Easthope says. “But I wouldn’t get those. What people wanted from me was to know how I lived with the knowledge that I have. Wasn’t I afraid? How did I handle it? I would tell them that I didn’t live afraid, and I would give them basic advice. But this wasn’t enough.” In the end, she felt she had no choice but to write a second book, one in which she would try to distill (浓缩) all that she has learned for the benefit of each individual.
While her publisher describes Come What May as a road map for resilience (韧性), the word is one Easthope dislikes. Ready, she suggests, is a better one. Easthope also reminds people that small things, like losing hair during illness or consuming too much food after someone dies, still matter. She encourages people to remember, not to forget, what happened during disasters, because such events leave a long-lasting effect.
1. What might a Cassandra be like according to paragraph 1?
A.Reserved and cautious. B.Severe and forbidding.
C.Sincere and energetic. D.Cheerful and approachable.
2. What led to increased public awareness of Easthope’s work in 2023?
A.The publication of a best seller. B.The growth of professional disaster circles.
C.Her involvement in 2004 tsunami relief. D.Her sudden rise to fame through media.
3. Why are readers’ questions cited in paragraph 3?
A.To reveal Easthope’s personal fears. B.To explain Easthope’s writing process.
C.To present public doubts about Easthope’s work. D.To show Easthope’s writing motivation.
4. What does Easthope agree on handling disasters?
A.Resilience matters most. B.Forgetting aids recovery.
C.Minor sufferings deserve attention. D.Positive thinking takes the lead.

In the summer of 2015, Emily Parker, a young environmental enthusiast, traveled to the coast of California with her family to enjoy a relaxing beach vacation. She was excited to spend time by the ocean, swimming and basking in the sun. However, as she walked along the shore, she was astonished to see piles of plastic bottles, broken fishing nets, and discarded wrappers along the sand. The once beautiful beach was now littered with trash, and this made Emily’s heart sink.
Emily had always cared about the environment, but seeing the pollution up close made her realize just how serious the problem had become. It was not only ruining her vacation but also endangering the marine life she loved. She thought of the turtles that might mistake plastic for food, or the seabirds that could get trapped in the nets. She knew she had to do something about it.
After returning home, Emily decided to take action. She began volunteering at local beach cleanups every weekend, picking up trash and raising awareness about the dangers of ocean pollution. She encouraged her friends, family, and classmates to join her, and soon, a small group of dedicated volunteers formed. They organized monthly cleanups and started educating the community about reducing plastic waste.
But Emily didn’t stop there. Realizing that the problem was far too big for just a small group to handle, she created a non-profit organization called “Ocean’s Hope.” The organization’s mission was to raise awareness about plastic pollution, organize global beach cleanups, and collaborate with businesses to reduce plastic packaging. Emily’s passion for the ocean grew stronger, and she worked tirelessly to inspire others.
By 2020, “Ocean’s Hope” had become a global movement. Volunteers from all over the world participated in cleanups, and companies began adopting more sustainable practices. Emily’s dream of a cleaner, safer ocean was becoming a reality.
1. What does the underlined word “this” in paragraph 1 probably refer to?

When Ma Jiancheng took up his post as a forest ranger (护林员) at Sidalong nature conservation station in 1999, he knew the Qilian Mountains would be his lifelong home. Fresh from military service, he followed in his father’s footsteps — a decision rooted in two deep influences: his love for the mountains and his father’s 30-year dedication to protecting them.
“My father rarely came home, even for Spring Festival, because of fire prevention duties,” Ma recalled. This sacrifice planted a seed in him: to safeguard the land his father venerated.
Life at 2,600 meters above sea level proved harsher than expected. “No electricity, just kerosene (煤油) lamps. Water came from a river 800 meters away, and supplies arrived by truck only three times a month,” he said. Once, he learned of his eldest daughter’s birth three days late — no phones connected the station to the outside.
Covering 20,000 hectares, Ma’s team patrols 20 days monthly, engaging in fire prevention, wildlife monitoring, and educating herders on regulations. Over 26 years, his patrols totaled 100,000 km—2.5 times around Earth—filling 70 notebooks. “Shoes wear out fastest,” he joked, noting 80-km daily treks.
Dangers are constant: wolves, landslides, -30°C winters, and summer mudslides. Once, a mudslide destroyed their station; they sheltered in a sheep pen. Yet technology now eases burdens — drones and cameras monitor remote areas.
Tragedy struck in 2008 when his wife died of lung cancer. He’d rushed down the mountain too late, after a herder relayed news of her emergency. “She asked me to care for our daughter,” he said, voice trembling.
Today, his daughter studies landscape architecture, inspired by his work. “City life feels strange now,” Ma said. “The mountains calm me —this is where I belong.”

Kristin Kimball, a travel writer, drove from New York studio to Pennsylvania to write about a young sustainable farmer she’d heard of. When she arrived at the farm, the farmer said he was too busy to be interviewed, even though they had previously scheduled it.
“Instead,” Kimball remembers,“ he handed me a garden tool and said, ‘There’s the vegetable land.’ That was the first time that I actually did any farm work, and yet when I started doing the work, I was shocked at how viscerally I responded.”
“And something happened that day. I just fell in love with the work.” she adds. “I think that human beings are in some way born to be farmers. This is what most people in the history of the world have focused their energy on.”
In a way, Kristin Kimball was lucky. When she decided to move to a farm in upstate New York, she had no idea what she was getting into. Seven years after her life-changing move from Manhattan to Essex Farm, Kimball has documented her adjustment to rural living in her new book, The Dirty Life. The title of her book, Kimball says, comes from the fact that farm work is consistently dirty. “I had no idea you could be dirty in so many different ways,” she says. “There’s dirt. There’s blood. There’s sweat. There’s your own sweat, and the sweat of the animals.”
In spite of the constant hard work, Kimball’s farm still has its quiet, romantic moments. The first year she planted potatoes, the yield (收获) was enormous — around 10,000 pounds. Friends were called to help. “It was truly fall,” Kimball writes:
The air was still cold at noon despite the bright sun. We boiled potatoes in their skins in the field, and served them steaming in napkins (餐巾纸). We all warmed our chilled fingers on them, popped them open, invested them with quantities of butter and salt. If there is a more perfect way to celebrate the potato’s earthy, sustaining essence (本质), I have not discovered it yet.
1. Which of the following can best describe Kimball’s path to farming?
A.Well-planned. B.Interest-based. C.Unexpectedly-taken. D.Curiosity-driven.
2. What does the underlined word “viscerally” in paragraph 2 mean?
A.Naturally. B.Patiently. C.Passively. D.Hesitantly.
3. Why did Kimball write the book?
A.To share the joy of harvest. B.To promote the benefits of farming.
C.To record her adaptation to country life. D.To introduce the farming skills she learned.
4. What does Kimball intend to express in the last paragraph?
A.The happiness in cooking potatoes. B.The satisfaction gained from farm life.
C.The significance of teamwork in farming. D.The challenges of farming in cold weather.

Like other cities in New Jersey’s Rust Belt (铁锈地带), Paterson has fallen on hard times, with its once-famous textile (纺织品) industry in disrepair and its schools abandoned.
Strickland, an expert in school design and instructor at MIT in Boston, had been hired as a consultant to help Paterson find sites for new schools. The architect hatched a grand plan to help revitalize (复兴) Paterson’s schools and the city itself.
Six career academies are holding classes at old sites. These small changes have not gone unnoticed. The city, as the residents expected, has the potential to shine.
A nearly unoccupied three-story shopping mall houses two schools, one focused on medical careers, the other on media arts and urban planning. English and math teachers for the two schools lead classes in storefronts that were empty just a year ago. Across town, under the thick wooden beams (横梁) of an old textile factory and a train engine plant, students with disabilities will learn about careers with the region’s transportation systems.
Strickland requires his graduate students at MIT to help Paterson construct models for new building projects in the city. Jane Riesman, one of Strickland’s students, has been working with her kids on an educational park that would replace a wasteland of lifeless asphalt (沥青) and grass that stretches between two downtown schools. The surrounding neighborhood is hardly inspiring; pulling-down of a high-rise housing project is underway, showering dust everywhere. But Riesman’s students envision a very different place. One of the student models includes a swimming pool, skating court, climbing wall, sandbox, and a pond with a fountain and lots of trees. “It’s fun, and it makes us feel like we’re in charge and helping the community,” says 15-year-old Marilyn Medina, one of the model’s creators.
Strickland says it’s important for the students to dream. “They’re setting a tone for the town,” he says. “The kids can push the envelope and change the culture.”
1. What was Paterson like in the past according to Paragraph 1?
A.It fell into severe disrepair. B.It rarely produced any iron.
C.Its textile industry was well-known. D.Its schools were completely deserted.
2. What was the residents’ attitude towards Strickland’s plan?
A.Opposed. B.Favorable. C.Dismissive. D.Uncaring.
3. What can we infer about Riesman’s students?
A.Diligent and innocent. B.Funny and responsible.
C.Honest and trustworthy. D.Imaginative and helpful.
4. What does the text focus on?
A.Transforming old buildings to shine.
B.Revitalizing the city’s shopping mall.
C.Developing students’ logical thinking.
D.Witnessing the rise and fall of Paterson.

In the 2010s, 34-year-old Brianne Miller travelled around the world as a marine biologist. No matter how remote the location, she made the same alarming discovery: large amounts of plastic littering the water and threatening marine life. Miller knew she needed to do something.
Canadians throw out three million tons of plastic waste each year and approximately one third of all food produced worldwide goes to waste, too. Miller, determined to fix the problem at the source, planned to open a shop that went further than banning plastic bags and the bad habit of wasting food .
In 2015, she convinced a Vancouver Patagonia store to host her first pop-up by highlighting their shared focus on sustainability. With just 10 jars of dried mangoes, local chocolate, nuts, and pasta, she sold out in an afternoon, realizing she was onto a promising idea. In June 2018, after 18 months of successful pop-ups, Miller opened Nada, one of Canada’s first zero-waste grocery stores. Designed for easy zero-waste shopping, it offers free and upcycled containers at the entrance, so customers can choose to bring their own or use the provided ones.
Nada sells the food items you’d expect — all 100 per cent package-free. Miller also turned to online ordering and delivery. Everything from olive oil to fresh eggs (and you can purchase just one, if you’d like) comes delivered in upcycled containers, which are collected (and reused again, of course) with the next round of deliveries.
Those containers do much more than just reduce waste. They get people thinking big, just as Miller had hoped they would. “They’re tagged with Nada stickers, so you can see how many times the container has been used,” she says, and then smiles. “If you open someone’s pantry and see all of these Nada-branded packages, it’s bound to start a conversation.”
1. What inspired Brianne Miller to take action?
A.Her dream of running a business.
B.The serious problem of plastic pollution and food waste.
C.Her love for marine life.
D.The support from the Vancouver Patagonia store.
2. The success of Miller’s first pop-up in 2015 can be mainly resulted from ________.
A.the insufficiency of the 10 food items she provided
B.the strong promotion from the Vancouver Patagonia store
C.the connection with consumers on environmental sustainability
D.the freshness of the zero-waste shopping concept in Canada at that time
3. What is special about Nada?
A.It only sells local products. B.It offers free food to customers.
C.It aims at zero-waste shopping. D.It has the largest number of containers.
4. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A.Consumers prefer to buy food in large quantities with packaging.
B.There is an increasing demand for environmentally-friendly shopping methods.
C.Online ordering and delivery services are replacing traditional shopping.
D.The market for package-free food items is still in its initial stage.

Samantha Hess has spent more than 130,000 minutes cuddling (拥抱) over the past four years — and that’s just at work! As the owner of Cuddle Up to Me in Portland, the Certified Cuddler has been at the forefront of the professional cuddling movement since it began. The goal of her service is to provide people a safe space to feel worthy for exactly who they are.
Hess came across an article about a man giving away free hugs at a Saturday market. It hit her that she longed for an unconditional hug — and that others likely felt the same. She decided that everyone deserved a place to go when these moments strike, where they can feel like they matter.
When asked who is her client, she says who is not her client would be quicker to answer! Touch is a human need. She has moms who don’t know how to take from the families they are always giving to, those in need of self-care who have disabilities or deadly diseases and so much more. She customizes each meeting to individual needs. Some people will talk only about novelty things, while others will tell her their deepest secrets. It’s nice for people to know that everything they say is held in the strictest of confidences.
Hess has taken extensive measures to ensure the safety of both parties. She starts by obtaining a copy of each person’s ID, and they fill out a body map and questionnaire. She asks questions to ensure they know why each person is seeking the service to determine if they are appropriate for what she offers, and she also has a third party who monitors security footage (镜头) during all meetings.
“I would never get tired of cuddling!” she said. It’s an unusual job, she knows, one that allows her to spread acceptance and form connections with people who may not otherwise have a close support system.
1. What does the author intend to do in paragraph 2?
A.Highlight some memorable moments.
B.Explain the conditions for free hugs.
C.Illustrate the purpose of Hess’s service.
D.Introduce the inspiration for Hess’s business.
2. What can we know about Hess’s clients?
A.Their social position is valued. B.They cover wide-ranging groups.
C.Their demands are hard to meet. D.They possess self-confident quality.
3. What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about?
A.Questions inquired. B.Parties involved.
C.Security measures. D.Consulting procedures.
4. Which of the following best describes Hess?
A.Patient and humorous. B.Ambitious and creative.
C.Considerate and skilled. D.Generous and responsible.

解题思路
第一部分:通用解题法 —— 应对所有记叙文的四大步骤
无论遇到哪种类型的记叙文,遵循以下四个步骤,能保证你思路清晰,不遗漏关键信息。
步骤1:速读全文,抓住要素,把握主线
目标:不要在第一遍阅读时就纠结于生词或细节。你的任务是搞懂“谁,在何时何地,做了什么事,结果如何,有何感悟”。
解题步骤:
· 圈出主要人物(Who)。
· 划出故事发生的时间、地点(When & Where)。
· 用一句话在心里概括核心事件或人物特征(What)。
· 特别关注首段和尾段,这里往往是主旨的所在。
步骤2:审读题干,定位关键词
目标:明确题目在问什么,并带着问题回到文中寻找答案。
解题步骤:
· 仔细阅读题干和每个选项。
· 找出题干中的关键词,如:人名、地名、动词、名词短语、引号内的词等。
· 判断题型(是细节题、推理题还是主旨题)。
步骤3:精读定位,分析判断
目标:根据关键词,回到原文中找到相关的句子或段落(定位),并进行深入分析。
行动:
· “地毯式”搜索:在原文中找到与题干关键词对应或同义替换的句子。
· “语境式”理解:精读定位句及其前后句,确保理解准确。
对于不同题型:
细节题:直接比对选项与原文,注意同义替换。
推理/词义题:分析上下文逻辑关系(因果、转折、举例、定义等)。
主旨/目的题:回顾文章整体结构和首尾段。
步骤4:比对选项,排除干扰
目标:选出最符合原文的答案。
核心:熟知错误选项的常见陷阱:无中生有:选项内容原文未提及。偷换概念:对原文信息进行细微的曲解。以偏概全:用局部信息代替整体主旨。过度绝对:使用如 always, never, all 等绝对化词汇。正反混淆:与原文信息完全相反。
第二部分:专项技巧 —— 针对三大考向的解题重心
在运用通用心法的基础上,针对不同考向,你的思考重心应有所侧重。
1. 人物类记叙文:核心方法是“由事见人”
阅读重心:关注所有用于描写人物的形容词、副词、动词以及人物的对话、心理活动和他人评价。
解题关键:
遇到询问“性格、品质、态度”的题目,不要主观臆断,一定要在文中找到具体事例作为证据。
将人物的行为(做了什么)与其背后的动机(为什么做)和品质(体现了他是什么样的人)联系起来。
公式:具体事例/言行 → 推断出 → 性格/品质/情感
2. 叙事类记叙文:核心方法是“由事及理”
阅读重心:理清情节发展链条(起因→经过→高潮→结果),特别关注事件的转折点和最终结果。
解题关键:
遇到询问“主旨、教训、启示”的题目,答案往往藏在故事的结局或作者在文末的直接议论和抒情中。
叙事文的最终目的不是讲故事本身,而是通过故事表达一个观点或道理。因此,读完一定要问自己:“作者想通过这个故事告诉我什么?”
公式:完整事件(尤其结果)+ 作者感悟 → 提炼出 → 主旨/启示
3. 状物类记叙文:核心方法是“由物及情”
阅读重心:不要被对“物”的细致描写所迷惑,要思考“这个物背后关联着什么人?什么事?承载了什么情感?”
解题关键:
遇到询问“写作目的、象征意义、作者情感”的题目,答案绝不是物体本身的物理属性,而是它的情感价值和精神象征。
文中对物的描写(如“破旧但整洁”)往往暗示了相关人物的品质或作者的情感(如“珍视、怀念”)。
公式:物的特征/来历 + 相关回忆/人物 → 挖掘出 → 情感/精神象征

【例1-1】(25-26高三·江西·一轮复习阶段检测)
When Dr. Daniel Olaiya isn’t presenting Operation Ouch! on CBBC, he is working as a National Health Service doctor, specializing in anesthesiology (麻醉学). He is also a flight doctor, which means he works on air ambulances.
Olaiya’s interest in science didn’t start with school lessons. Instead, it grew from his love of science fiction. He was a big fan of superheroes, in particular the X-Men comics. His favourite character was Havok, who can release powerful energy, which Olaiya thought was really cool. Another hero that he admired was the film character Indiana Jones, an adventurous archaeologist and professor at a university. He used to dream of becoming “Indiana Jones” in his own way.
Becoming a doctor wasn’t always Olaiya’s dream, but by the end of secondary school, he viewed it as a career where he would deal with people, go on adventures and use his scientific knowledge, which was both enjoyable and challenging. Pre-medical studies were really difficult because there was a lot to study. He struggled with it, but when he started his degree at the University of Exeter, he says, “That was when the fun began.” He loved outdoor adventures and activities while he was studying there.
In 2016, Olaiya joined FameLab, a global science communication competition, to share scientific ideas with audience. He delivered a creative three-minute talk on the science of happiness. The next year, he participated again, despite arriving an hour late due to heavy traffic. The talk ended up being a success and Olaiya made it through to FameLab’s national final.
Science communication is still an important part of Olaiya’s job — he is now one of the presenters on Operation Ouch! on CBBC. His most important advice for any young doctor is to work really hard at school and “dive as deep as you can into the science and the human aspect, because you can’t have one without the other in medicine.”
1. What initially sparked Olaiya’s scientific interest?
A.Characters in science fiction. B.A global speech competition.
C.Formal classroom education. D.Medical training in university.
2. Why did Olaiya take part in FameLab?
A.To win its final prize. B.To better spread science.
C.To be a TV presenter. D.To show his medical skills.
3. Which of the following words can best describe Olaiya?
A.Reserved and talented. B.Independent and ambitious.
C.Warm-hearted and creative. D.Adventurous and determined.
4. What does Olaiya’s advice highlight?
A.All efforts will pay off one day. B.It is never too late to learn science.
C.Medicine needs humanity and science. D.Caring for patients overweighs skills.
【答案】1.A 2.B 3.D 4.C
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了医生兼科学传播者Daniel Olaiya的职业生涯,分享了他如何从科幻迷成长为医学专家,并通过FameLab和电视节目推动科学普及,还强调医学需兼顾科学与人道精神。
1.细节理解题。根据第二段中“Olaiya’s interest in science didn’t start with school lessons. Instead, it grew from his love of science fiction. He was a big fan of superheroes, in particular the X-Men comics. (Olaiya的科学兴趣并非始于学校课程,而是源于他对科幻小说的热爱。他特别喜欢超级英雄,尤其是《X战警》漫画。)”可知,最初激发Olaiya科学兴趣的是科幻小说中的角色。故选A项。
2.细节理解题。根据第四段中“In 2016, Olaiya joined FameLab, a global science communication competition, to share scientific ideas with audience. (2016年,Olaiya参加了一项全球科学传播比赛FameLab,旨在向观众分享科学理念。)”可知,Olaiya参加FameLab的目的是更好地传播科学。故选B项。
3.推理判断题。根据第一段中“He is also a flight doctor, which means he works on air ambulances. (他也是一名飞行医生,这意味着他在空中救护车上工作。)”和第三段中“He loved outdoor adventures and activities while he was studying there. (当他在那里学习时,他喜欢户外冒险和活动。)”可知,Olaiya热爱户外探险活动,且从事飞行医生这样高挑战性的职业,表明他具有冒险精神;根据第三段中“Pre-medical studies were really difficult because there was a lot to study. He struggled with it, but when he started his degree at the University of Exeter, he says, “That was when the fun began.” (医学预科学习真的很难,因为要学的东西太多了。他曾为此挣扎过,但当他开始在埃克塞特大学攻读学位时,他说:“那就是乐趣开始的时候。”)”可知,Olaiya克服医学预科困难,表明他有坚定决心。故选D项。
4.细节理解题。根据最后一段中“His most important advice for any young doctor is to work really hard at school and “dive as deep as you can into the science and the human aspect, because you can’t have one without the other in medicine.” (他对年轻医生最重要的建议是在学校努力学习,“尽可能深入地研究科学和人文方面,因为在医学上,两者缺一不可。”)”可知,Olaiya的建议强调医学必须结合科学与人文。故选C项。
【例1-2】(25-26高三上·四川广安中学·月考)
At first sight, Easthope doesn’t seem much like a Cassandra. She smiles a lot. Her manner is kind and motherly; pushed to name her profession, you might guess at nurse or teacher. But look closer.
Easthope is an emergency planner whose job is to support the survivors of major disasters, in which capacity she acted following the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami and the fire at Grenfell Tower. For two decades, the public knew nothing about this vital work, which went on behind the scenes, though she was hugely admired in what we might call professional disaster circles: a voice of calm and a fountain of wisdom. But in 2023, she published a best-selling book about her career, When the Dust Settles, and that changed. People became very interested in what she did.
“At literary festivals, most authors get questions about their writing process,” Easthope says. “But I wouldn’t get those. What people wanted from me was to know how I lived with the knowledge that I have. Wasn’t I afraid? How did I handle? I would tell them that I didn’t live afraid, and I would give them basic advice. But this wasn’t enough.” In the end, she felt she had no choice but to write a second book, one in which she would try to distill (浓缩) all that she has learned for the benefit of each individual.
While her publisher describes Come What May as a roadmap for resilience (韧性), the word is one Easthope dislikes. Ready, she suggests, is a better one. Easthope also reminds people that small things, like losing hair during illness or consuming too much food after someone dies, still matter. She encourages people to remember, not to forget, what happened during disasters, because such events leave a long-lasting effect.
1. What might a Cassandra be like according to paragraph 1?
A.Serious and unapproachable. B.Competent and cautious.
C.Friendly and energetic. D.Cheerful and easy-going.
2.What led to increased public awareness of Easthope’s work in 2023?
A.The publication of a bestseller. B.The growth of professional disaster circles.
C.Her involvement in 2004 tsunami relief. D.Her sudden rise to fame through media.
3.Why are readers’ questions cited (引用) in paragraph 3?
A.To reveal Easthope’s personal fears. B.To explain Easthope’s writing process.
C.To show Easthope’s writing motivation. D.To present public doubts about Easthope’s work.
4. What does Easthope agree on handling disasters?
A.Resilience matters most. B.Forgetting aids recovery.
C.Positive thinking takes the lead. D.Minor sufferings deserve attention.
【答案】1.A 2.A 3.C 4.D
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述应急规划师伊斯特霍普的职业经历、著作出版后受到的关注,以及她关于人们应对灾难的观点和建议。
1.推理判断题。根据第一段中的“At first sight, Easthope doesn’t seem much like a Cassandra. She smiles a lot. Her manner is kind and motherly; pushed to name her profession, you might guess at nurse or teacher. But look closer. (乍一看,伊斯特霍普不太像卡桑德拉。她经常微笑。她的举止和蔼可亲,像母亲一样;如果非要说出她的职业,你可能会猜是护士或老师。但再仔细看看。)”可知,伊斯特霍普的“笑容满面、亲切有母性”与卡桑德拉的特质相反,由此可推知卡桑德拉应是严肃且难以接近的。故选A项。
2.细节理解题。根据第二段中的“But in 2023, she published a best-selling book about her career, When the Dust Settles, and that changed. People became very interested in what she did.(但在2023年,她出版了一本关于自己职业生涯的畅销书《尘埃落定之时》,一切都变了。人们开始对她的工作产生浓厚兴趣)”可知,2023年一本畅销书的出版让公众对伊斯特霍普的工作有了更多了解。故选A项。
3.推理判断题。根据第三段中““At literary festivals, most authors get questions about their writing process,” Easthope says. “But I wouldn’t get those. What people wanted from me was to know how I lived with the knowledge that I have. Wasn’t I afraid? How did I handle? I would tell them that I didn’t live afraid, and I would give them basic advice. But this wasn’t enough.”(伊斯特霍普坦言:“文学节上,大多数作家都会被问及创作过程,但没人问我这些。人们想了解的是,我如何背负着这些认知继续生活。难道不害怕吗?如何应对?我会告诉他们我从不活在恐惧中,并给出基本建议。但这远远不够。”)”和“In the end, she felt she had no choice but to write a second book, one in which she would try to distill all that she has learned for the benefit of each individual.(最终,她觉得自己别无选择,只能写第二本书,一本试图浓缩她所学一切、造福每个人的书)”可知,引用读者的问题是为了说明这些问题让伊斯特霍普意识到需要通过写书分享更多经验,即体现她写第二本书的动机。故选C项。
4.细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Easthope also reminds people that small things, like losing hair during illness or consuming too much food after someone dies, still matter.(伊斯特霍普还提醒人们,一些小事仍然重要,比如生病时脱发或有人去世后暴饮暴食。)”可知,伊斯特霍普认为生病时脱发或有人去世后暴饮暴食这样的小事也很重要,即微小的痛苦也值得关注。故选D项。

人物类记叙文的核心是 “由事见人” ,即通过具体事件、言行举止来展现人物的品质、性格与情感。解题时需遵循以下步骤与方法:
第一步:快速浏览,抓住主线
· 在阅读前,先快速扫读文章首段、尾段以及各段首句,迅速把握文章主旨和人物身份。例如,在例1-1中,首段就点明了Dr. Daniel Olaiya的多重身份;例1-2则通过对比手法引出Easthope的独特职业特点。
· 关注人物特征:注意描述人物性格、品质或情感的关键词,如"adventurous"、"determined"、"calm"。
第二步:分析题干,精准定位
· 仔细阅读题目和选项,确定题型(细节题、推理题或主旨题)。
· 根据题干中的关键词(如人名、地名、特定事件)迅速定位到原文相关段落。例如,例1-1的第1题通过"initially sparked scientific interest"定位到第二段。
第三步:深度解读,推理判断
· 细节理解题:在定位区间寻找直接对应信息,注意同义替换。如例1-1第1题中,"love of science fiction"与选项A中的"characters in science fiction"形成对应。
· 推理判断题:
· 性格品质题:将人物的行为与品质关联。如例1-1第3题,通过Olaiya选择飞行医生职业和克服学业困难的行为,推断出他"adventurous and determined"的品质。
· 写作目的题:结合全文主旨,分析人物行为背后的深层动机。如例1-1第2题,通过"to share scientific ideas"推断参与FameLab的目的是传播科学。
注|意|事|项
1. 严格遵循"文本证据"原则:所有答案必须基于原文,避免主观臆断。如例1-1第3题,必须找到Olaiya具体的行为证据来推断其品质。
2. 把握人物塑造的多元手法:注意通过人物言行、他人评价、对比衬托等手法来理解人物特征。例1-2中通过"doesn't seem much like a Cassandra"的对比,突出Easthope的独特形象。
3. 区分事实与观点:事实是文中明确陈述的信息,观点则需要通过推理得出。如例1-2中"Easthope is an emergency planner"是事实,而她对"resilience"一词的态度是观点。
4. 领会深层主旨:人物类文章往往通过个人经历传达普遍价值观。如例1-1通过Olaiya的经历强调医学中科学与人文并重。

Even the strongest of swimmers get tears in their goggles (护目镜). Just ask Rylee Sayer, whose list of achievements has become even longer after being selected to compete as an Aquablack at her first-ever World Para Swimming Championships(WPSC).
The Hauraki Plains College student was born with a rare condition, and later, she suffered from an aggressive form of bone cancer. Within a month of the diagnosis (诊断), she had to have a forequarter amputation (截肢) of her right arm.
But with all her courage and determination, Rylee has taken the suffering and turned it into a positive. Despite her limb loss, Rylee held on firmly to her passion for swimming. Training six to seven times weekly at Matamata Swim Club under coach Graeme Laing, she rebuilt her strength and technique. “All the training and hard work has paid off,” she told The Profile. “I have had a lot of tears in my goggles, but my motivation always wipes them away. Her efforts led to a historic moment: selection for the 2023 World Para Swimming Championships in Manchester, Great Britain. She said she cried with excitement alongside her mum and a close friend who gave her “a big hug”.
“I am more than grateful to have the opportunity,” she said. Being her first WPSC, she said it was hard to know what to expect, but she aimed to reach finals and set personal bests. Her pre-race routine included hype music for mental focus and careful stretching.
She said her motivation is rooted in how far she has come from the start of her cancer journey. “Little me would be so proud of how far I have come now,” she said. “I’m grateful to everyone who has been helping me on this journey, especially my family.”
1.What directly contributes to Rylee’s amputation?
A.A serious athletic injury. B.The delay in treatment.
C.A severe bone condition. D.The after-effects of previous surgery.
2.How did Rylee feel when selected to compete in the WPSC?
A.Anxious but proud. B.Stressed but confident.
C.Calm and responsible. D.Overjoyed and appreciative.
3.Where does Rylee’s motivation mainly come from?
A.The desire to win the championships. B.Her pride in participating in the WPSC.
C.Her progress in fighting against the disease. D.The support from her family and friends.
4.What does Rylee’s story tell us?
A.It’s never too old to learn. B.Well begun is half done.
C.Actions speak louder than words. D.Nothing is impossible for a willing heart.
【答案】1.C 2.D 3.C 4.D

Chinese Nobel Prize-winning physicist Zhen Ning Yang, one of the most influential scientists in modern physics, passed away in Beijing on October 18 due to illness at the age of 103.
Born in 1922, Yang was brought up surrounded by the Tsinghua campus, where his father was a math professor. After finishing his undergraduate degree, he obtained his master’s degree from Tsinghua. He enrolled in the University of Chicago in the United States to pursue a doctorate in 1946 and was strongly influenced by Italian-American physicist Enrico Fermi, who had won the same Nobel Prize in 1938. He later became a professor at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton.
Yang won the Nobel Prize in 1957 with Tsung-Dao Lee for their investigation of the so-called parity laws that led to “important discoveries regarding the elementary particles,” according to the Nobel Prize website. They were the first Chinese-born Nobel Prize winners in physics.
Professor Yang was deeply devoted to his homeland, making remarkable contributions to China’s scientific and educational developments. His visit to China in 1971 led to a wave of visits by overseas scholars, earning him recognition as the pioneer in building the bridge of academic exchange between China and the United States. He later proposed the restoration and strengthening of basic scientific research to China’s central leadership. He also raised funds to establish the “Committee on Educational Exchange with China”, which has continuously sponsored nearly 100Chinese scholars for advanced studies in the United States. These scholars later became the backbone of China’ s scientific and technological development. He undertook extensive work to promote China’s scientific and technological exchange and progress, offering advice and exercising significant influence on major Chinese scientific projects and the formulation (制定) of science and education policies.
After returning to Tsinghua University in 1999, he took on developing the Institute for Advanced Study as his new mission. He poured enormous effort into advancing fundamental disciplines like physics and cultivating talents at Tsinghua, making remarkable contributions that greatly impacted the reform and development of Chinese higher education.
Professor Yang’s life stands as a timeless chapter in human history — one that shines not only for China but for the global community of thinkers and innovators.

【例2-1】(24-25高三下·广西来宾高级中学·)
Holding my hands, my grandparents boarded a green-skinned train in Hangzhou, which rocked and swayed for twenty-five hours straight to Ulanqab (乌兰察布市), Inner Mongolia. This is my childhood memory of returning home.
As the train journeyed north, the scenery outside the window gradually transformed from the gentle charm of the south to the vast openness of the north. Everything felt so beautiful, even the clamor (喧闹) inside the carriage carried a warmth. Before dawn the next day, I pressed my forehead against the fogged glass, watching the distant sunrise break through the horizon. It seemed as though the morning sun had risen solely to welcome our return.
After starting elementary school, trips back to my hometown grew sparse, and that direct train quietly closed down. The rails rusted into dotted lines in memory, and my hometown became a faint shadow on a photographic negative (照相底片).
Then, last year, Grandpa passed away, and the frequency of returning home suddenly surged. Yet, the journey no longer held the leisurely comfort of childhood it became a long, exhausting journey. We rushed to the airport before daybreak, weighed down by luggage check-ins. The cramped cabin and turbulent air currents added discomfort, while navigating the maze-like airport and enduring hours of road travel left us arriving under completely dark skies. There was no time to admire the scenery, let alone the endless sea of clouds outside the airplane window.
This year, upon hearing that the long-suspended train had resumed operation, an indescribable excitement welled up in my heart. A month ago, I finally boarded this long-missed train again. As night fell, the train slowly set off. The familiar voices in the carriage, mingling with the rhythmic clatter of wheels against tracks, blended into a nostalgic lullaby (怀旧的摇篮曲). Lying on the bunk, I felt the gentle sway of the train, as though cradled in the arms of Mother Earth...Years have blurred the details of my memory, and I have sketched it one by one with my imagination.
Finally, the train arrived at my hometown. The moment I met my grandma, the long-accumulated yearning in my heart burst out like a tidal stream now...
1.Why does the author describe the train journey in her childhood?
A.To compare the train journey with air travel.
B.To show the inconvenience of traveling by train.
C.To emphasize the long distance to her hometown.
D.To highlight the beauty and warmth of the train journey.
2.What does the underlined word “sparse” in paragraph 3 most probably mean?
A.Rare. B.Frequent. C.Regular. D.Complex.
3.What is the author’s attitude towards modern travel by air?
A.Indifferent. B.Grateful. C.Dissatisfied. D.Enthusiastic.
4.What can be a suitable title for the text?
A.Memories of My Hometown B.Old tracks Back Home
C.The Change of Transportation D.The Beauty of Air Travel
【答案】1.D 2.A 3.C 4.B
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,主要讲述了作者通过停运后又恢复的火车路线回到家乡的怀旧之旅。
1.推理判断题。根据文章第二段“As the train journeyed north, the scenery outside the window gradually transformed from the gentle charm of the south to the vast openness of the north. Everything felt so beautiful, even the clamor (喧闹) inside the carriage carried a warmth.(随着火车向北行驶,窗外的景色逐渐由南方的温婉妩媚变成了北方的广阔开阔。一切都是那么美好,就连车厢里的喧闹声也带着一种温暖)”可知,作者描写她童年的火车之旅是为了突出火车之旅的美丽和温暖。故选D。
2.词句猜测题。根据文章第三段“that direct train quietly closed down. The rails rusted into dotted lines in memory, and my hometown became a faint shadow on a photographic negative(那列直达列车悄悄停运了。铁轨在记忆中锈迹斑斑,我的家乡成了底片上模糊的影子)”可知,在文章的上下文中作者开始上小学后,那列直达列车悄然停运了。铁轨在记忆中锈蚀成了点点痕迹,说明回故乡的旅行变得稀少、罕见,sparse的意思是“稀少”,和rare意思相近。故选A。
3.推理判断题。根据文章第四段“Yet, the journey no longer held the leisurely comfort of childhood it became a long, exhausting journey. We rushed to the airport before daybreak, weighed down by luggage check-ins. The cramped cabin and turbulent air currents added discomfort, while navigating the maze-like airport and enduring hours of road travel left us arriving under completely dark skies. There was no time to admire the scenery, let alone the endless sea of clouds outside the airplane window.(然而,这段旅程不再有童年的悠闲舒适,它变成了一段漫长而疲惫的旅程。我们在黎明前赶到机场,行李托运工作压得我们喘不过气来。狭窄的机舱和汹涌的气流增加了我们的不适,而在迷宫般的机场穿行和长时间的公路旅行让我们在完全黑暗的天空下到达。没有时间欣赏风景,更不用说飞机窗外无尽的云海了)”可知,作者将现代航空旅行描述为“漫长而疲惫的跋涉”,有“狭窄的客舱”和“颠簸的气流”。她还提到没有时间欣赏风景,这表明与童年时更悠闲、风景更美的火车旅行相比,她有一种不满意的感觉。故选C。
4.主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第一段“Holding my hands, my grandparents boarded a green-skinned train in Hangzhou, which rocked and swayed for twenty-five hours straight to Ulanqab (乌兰察布市), Inner Mongolia. This is my childhood memory of returning home.(我的祖父母牵着我的手,在杭州登上了一列绿皮火车,火车摇晃了25个小时,直达内蒙古乌兰察布。这是我童年回家的记忆)”和倒数第二段“This year, upon hearing that the long-suspended train had resumed operation, an indescribable excitement welled up in my heart. A month ago, I finally boarded this long-missed train again. As night fell, the train slowly set off. The familiar voices in the carriage, mingling with the rhythmic clatter of wheels against tracks, blended into a nostalgic lullaby (怀旧的摇篮曲). Lying on the bunk, I felt the gentle sway of the train, as though cradled in the arms of Mother Earth...Years have blurred the details of my memory, and I have sketched it one by one with my imagination.(今年,当我听到停运已久的火车恢复运行的消息时,一种说不出的兴奋涌上心头。一个月前,我终于再次登上了这趟久违的列车。夜幕降临,火车慢慢地开动了。车厢里熟悉的声音,加上车轮有节奏地撞击轨道的声音,混成了一首怀旧的摇篮曲。躺在铺位上,我感觉到火车的轻柔摇晃,仿佛被大地母亲抱在怀里……岁月模糊了我记忆中的细节,我用想象把它一一勾勒出来)”可知,本文主要讲述了作者通过停运后又恢复的火车路线回到家乡的怀旧之旅。它突出了与过去的情感联系,以及火车之旅在她记忆中的重要性,因此最恰当的题目是B选项“Old tracks Back Home(家乡的旧轨道)”。故选B。
【例2-2】(2025·浙江宁波海曙&4地·一模)
Last spring, my neighbor Donna and I, both in our seventies, spent several hours in the glorious sunshine enjoying the new season. When it was time to sit down and relax, Donna pulled out her red metal chair from her garage (车库), and I sat on an overturned plastic bucket (桶). It was fun to catch up on the news that we had missed during the long winter indoors.
However, over the next few days, it turned out that we needed more than a chair and a bucket which were not quite comfortable. Donna decided we needed a bench. After dismissing unsuitable options from local stores, she found a perfect one online. The next day it arrived. Excitedly, she opened the box and started putting it together. We proudly high-fived each other as the pieces joined up and the bench started to look like one. After a few minutes’ assistance from a neighbour, it was complete. What’s more, it was the perfect fit for two 70-somethings to carry on late afternoon chats.
Soon, the bench attracted other neighbors. One day, someone called out from the sidewalk, “What do you do on that bench?” Quick-thinking Donna called back, “It’s our ‘Thinking Bench’! We think about important things happening in our lives.” Then, the name gradually evolved—after one neighbor sat alone deep in thought, he declared it a “Decision-Making Bench”; another time, when Donna was caught napping, she insisted she was “meditating (冥想) ”, adding yet another name.
Last fall, with the temperature falling, we came to the end of sitting outdoors. We were faced with one dilemma-what to do about it in the winter? Well, we sat down and thought and meditated and decided to put it in Donna’s garage for the winter.
When I glimpsed it a few times over the next months, the bench sat lonely, holding empty flower pots, and some flat, old boxes. But now after a long winter, spring flowers are ready to bloom in the warm sunshine, and we neighbours are ready to welcome “The Bench” back into our lives.
1. Donna decided to replace the chair and bucket to _________.
A.lighten the carrying load B.attract more neighbours
C.get better seating for chats D.adapt to warmer weather
2. How did the bench get its various names?
A.From items placed on it. B.From seasonal discussions.
C.From users’ activities on it. D.From Donna’s creative ideas.
3. Why are pots and boxes mentioned in the last paragraph?
A.To suggest the flowers would soon be planted. B.To show the bench was not serving its purpose.
C.To describe the bench’s practical use in winter. D.To explain why the bench needed winter storage.
4. What does “The Bench” represent by the story’s end?
A.A symbol of community bonds. B.A solution to the aging problem.
C.A reminder of the past summer. D.A memory of a valued online order.
【答案】1.C 2.C 3.B 4.A
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,讲述了作者和邻居唐娜在户外放置长椅,长椅吸引邻居们一起聊天、思考、做决定,最终成为邻里情谊象征的故事。
1.细节理解题。根据第二段中的“However, over the next few days, it turned out that we needed more than a chair and a bucket which were not quite comfortable. Donna decided we needed a bench.(然而,在接下来的几天里,事实证明,我们需要的不仅仅是一把椅子和一只不太舒服的水桶。唐娜决定我们需要一条长凳。)”以及“What’s more, it was the perfect fit for two 70-somethings to carry on late afternoon chats.(更重要的是,它非常适合两位70多岁的老人进行傍晚的聊天。)”可知,唐娜决定把椅子和桶换成长凳是为了让聊天时有更好的座位。故选C。
2.细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Then, the name gradually evolved — after one neighbor sat alone deep in thought, he declared it a ‘Decision-Making Bench’; another time, when Donna was caught napping, she insisted she was ‘meditating’, adding yet another name.(然后,这个名字逐渐演变——一位邻居独自坐着沉思后,他宣称这是一个‘决策长椅’;还有一次,当唐娜被发现打盹时,她坚持说自己在‘冥想’,于是又加了一个名字。)”可知,长凳的名字来源于使用者在长凳上的活动。故选C。
3.推理判断题。根据最后一段“When I glimpsed it a few times over the next months, the bench sat lonely, holding empty flower pots, and some flat, old boxes. But now after a long winter, spring flowers are ready to bloom in the warm sunshine, and we neighbours are ready to welcome “The Bench” back into our lives.(在接下来的几个月里,当我瞥见它几次时,长凳孤零零地立着,上面放着空花盆和一些扁平的旧盒子。但是现在,经过一个漫长的冬天,春天的花朵已经准备好在温暖的阳光下绽放,我们邻居们也准备好欢迎‘长凳’回到我们的生活中。)”可知,长凳上放着空花盆和旧盒子,说明长凳在冬天没有发挥它的作用,即让邻居们一起聊天、思考、做决定。故选B。
4.推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Soon, the bench attracted other neighbors.(很快,长凳吸引了其他邻居。)”以及最后一段中的“But now after a long winter, spring flowers are ready to bloom in the warm sunshine, and we neighbours are ready to welcome ‘The Bench’ back into our lives.(但是现在,经过一个漫长的冬天,春天的花朵已经准备好在温暖的阳光下绽放,我们邻居们也准备好欢迎‘长凳’回到我们的生活中。)”可知,长凳吸引了邻居们一起聊天、思考、做决定,它最终象征着邻里间的情谊联结。故选A。
解|题|技|巧
解题核心思路:看懂故事,悟出道理。
一、解题核心:抓准“故事线”和“情感线”
1. 先理清“故事线”——弄明白到底发生了什么
就像看电视剧,你得先把剧情捋顺。谁?在哪儿?发生了什么事?结果怎么样?
比如例2-1,故事线就是:童年坐绿皮火车回家(温馨美好)→ 长大后火车停运,改坐飞机(疲惫不堪)→ 火车恢复,再次乘坐(重拾感动)。
2. 再抓住“情感线”——体会作者的心情变化
故事里的人是什么心情?这条线往往直接指向文章主旨。
例2-1里,作者的情感从童年的“美好温暖”,变成坐飞机时的“疲惫不满”,最后是重坐火车时的“激动怀念”。这一对比,作者想表达什么?(显然是更珍视从前那种有温度的慢生活)
例2-2里,情感从“想要更舒服”到长椅带来“邻里相聚的快乐”,最后长椅成了大家生活中期待的一部分。这说明什么?(长椅不只是椅子,更是邻里感情的联结)
二、不同题型的解题方法
· 细节题:老老实实回原文找!题干里的时间、地点、人名都是路标,帮你快速定位。
· 推理题:别自己瞎猜!答案藏在人物的行为、对话和感受里。比如,作者为什么不喜欢坐飞机了?(因为文章里详细描写了赶飞机的狼狈和机舱的不适)。
· 主旨题:答案往往藏在三个地方——故事的结果、作者在结尾的抒情、或者那个最触动你的情节里。多问自己一句:“作者讲这个故事,最想告诉我什么?”
注|意|事|项
1. 勿陷情节表面:不能只满足于读懂故事本身。高考考的是你能否透过故事,看到它背后的情感和道理。
2. 情感转折点是题眼:故事里人物心情发生明显变化的地方,往往就会出题。比如从喜欢到不喜欢,从失落到开心。
3. 留意“有深意的物件”:文中的某个东西往往不只是东西。比如例2-1的“绿皮火车”代表的是情怀和回忆;例2-2的“长椅”代表的是邻里友情。它们通常是理解主旨的关键。
4. 答案必须在文中有证据:相信自己的第一感觉,但那个感觉必须能从文章里找到句子支撑。
【变式2-1】(25-26高三上·河南·期中)
For hundreds of years, my town has been having a commemoration (纪念) day to honor late heroes making a big difference in our town. The event has always been organized by a team of volunteers until they age and pass the task onto the next generation.
We always close our ceremony by reading the names of the late heroes over a soft drumming (击鼓). As the years passed and memories faded, the names of the dead were becoming a blur (模糊的记忆) and in some cases meaningless. More townspeople had difficulty appreciating the significance of the day and fewer were willing to join the team to continue the tradition, there being one volunteer taking charge for a twenty-year period. Attendance was suffering as well. Eventually, the celebration had become boring and uninspired.
Our senior volunteers were worried that if townspeople continued to lose sight of heroes’ contribution, our commemoration day would evolve into something unrecognizable. Something needed to be done. Specially selected volunteers were sought to help ease the team’s burden. It was an honor for me to be asked to assist.
I volunteered to give a speech for the coming commemoration day. The focus of my planned speech would be to change the reading of the names and honorable title of our late heroes from something routine into something that would make it clear that these were genuine heroes who once walked among us. I tried contacting their family members, distant relatives, and old friends. Amazed, everyone was so thrilled to share so many fond stories and old photos of their loved ones that I felt as if I knew each hero personally.
I integrated all those into my speech, which turned out well received, acting as the catalyst (催化剂) that got our commemoration day observance back on track. Townspeople, once reminded, were happy to dive in and show their respect.
1. Why was the commemoration day becoming less popular in the town?
A.The number of late heroes there was decreasing.
B.The volunteers of the event were not well organized.
C.Drumming made the atmosphere too sad for the public.
D.People were gradually forgetting the meaning behind it.
2. What specific change did the author make to the ceremony?
A.He replaced reading names with drumming.
B.He made it to bring the heroes’ names to life.
C.He organized a new team of young volunteers.
D.He invited family members to read the names.
3. How did townspeople respond to commemoration day after the speech?
A.They became more involved. B.They lost interest in the event.
C.They preferred to be new heroes. D.They provided financial support.
4. What can be the best title for the text?
A.The Story of a Town’s Holiday B.The Life Stories of Late Heroes
C.A Speech That Saved a Tradition D.Honoring Heroes: A Fading Faith
【答案】1.D 2.B 3.A 4.C

1.细节理解题。根据第二段“As the years passed and memories faded, the names of the dead were becoming a blur (模糊的记忆) and in some cases meaningless.(随着时间的流逝,记忆逐渐模糊,一些逝者的姓名甚至变得模糊不清,有些甚至已经失去了意义)”可知,这个纪念日在该镇的受欢迎程度逐渐下降是因为人们逐渐淡忘了其背后的含义。故选D。
2.细节理解题。根据第四段“The focus of my planned speech would be to change the reading of the names and honorable title of our late heroes from something routine into something that would make it clear that these were genuine heroes who once walked among us.(我计划演讲的重点在于改变对我们已故英雄的名字和尊称的表述方式,将其从一种常规的表述转变为一种更能凸显出他们是真正英雄、曾与我们共处一地的表述方式)”可知,作者成功地让这些英雄的形象鲜活了起来。故选B。
3.细节理解题。根据最后一段“Townspeople, once reminded, were happy to dive in and show their respect.(镇上的居民们在被提醒之后,都非常乐意参与进来,表达自己的敬意)”可知,在那次演讲结束后,市民们对纪念日的活动参与度更高了。故选A。
4.主旨大意题。根据第一段“For hundreds of years, my town has been having a commemoration (纪念) day to honor late heroes making a big difference in our town. The event has always been organized by a team of volunteers until they age and pass the task onto the next generation.(数百年来,我们这个小镇一直会举行一个纪念日活动,以纪念那些对我们的小镇产生重大影响的已故英雄。这项活动一直由一群志愿者组织举办,直到他们年老力衰,将任务交由下一代接手)”和最后一段“I integrated all those into my speech, which turned out well received, acting as the catalyst ( 催化剂 ) that got our commemoration day observance back on track. Townspeople, once reminded, were happy to dive in and show their respect.(我将所有这些都融入了我的演讲中,演讲反响良好,起到了催化剂的作用,使我们的纪念日活动重回正轨。镇上的居民们在被提醒之后,都非常乐意参与进来,表达自己的敬意)”并结合文章可知,小镇纪念英雄的传统日因人们淡忘其意义渐失人气,作者受邀助力,通过收集英雄事迹并融入演讲让仪式鲜活,成功唤起镇民敬意,让这一传统重回正轨。可知,C选项“一场拯救了一项传统的演讲”最符合文章标题。故选C。

In Hazelwood, a group called Seedlings (幼苗) for Tomorrow gives every child three plants to grow in their own garden. Unlike a public park, these plants are theirs to keep forever. Kids “check out” at the city’s greenhouse not with money, but by joining the group’s Garden Buddy project. This project pairs each young gardener with an adult guide. They have a 45-minute virtual meeting each week to learn about gardening and nature. “Every kid should feel the joy of growing something with their own hands,” said Orson Pike, the project director.
Orson started the non-profit organization Seedlings for Tomorrow in 2022. Soon he realized that just giving away plants wasn’t enough. “Some groups think dropping off supplies is helping. But if people don’t know how to use them, it’s like giving them a stone,” he explained. That’s why the program focuses on teaching skills — like how to water plants properly, what seasons are best for planting, and how to protect flowers from insects. At the greenhouse, children can pick from sunflowers, strawberries, lavender, and even small vegetable kits. There are guidebooks in both English and Welsh.
Orson is already 70, but he’s always been enthusiastic about the growth of the next generation. He believes that by letting kids choose what they love, they’ll grow into passionate gardeners. Many kids even share their progress with classmates, making gardening a social activity.
To attract more families, Seedlings for Tomorrow visits local primary schools and community centers. Orson also hopes to build small green stations around town where people can exchange seeds and gardening tips. The project has received $20,000 from the UK-based Ecology Fund. The fund manager Elara Vane said, “Such programs are essential— they teach patience, responsibility and love for the environment, which helps kids both in and out of school,” adding that parents have noticed their children becoming more confident since joining the project.
1. What can a kid do by joining Garden Buddy project?
A.Volunteer at the city’s greenhouse. B.Acquire gardening knowledge online.
C.Sell garden plants to the adult guide. D.Receive free three plants every week.
2. What philosophy does Orson’s project demonstrate?
A.Hard work is the mother of success. B.Guide others, and you will learn twice.
C.Teach a man to fish, not give him a fish. D.Creative activities involve being confident.
3. How does the author highlight the project’s value in the last paragraph?
A.By quoting an official. B.By giving examples.
C.By providing statistics. D.By making a comparison.
4. Which word best describes Orson?
A.Adventurous. B.Determined. C.Caring. D.Flexible.
【答案】1.B 2.C 3.A 4.C
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。在黑泽尔伍德镇(Hazelwood), Seedlings for Tomorrow组织为每个孩子免费提供三株植物,让他们在自己的花园中种植。孩子们通过加入Garden Buddy项目,与成年导师配对,每周学习园艺和自然知识。
1.细节理解题。根据第一段“This project pairs each young gardener with an adult guide. They have a 45-minute virtual meeting each week to learn about gardening and nature.(该项目为每位年轻园丁配备一位成人导师。每周他们都会进行45分钟的线上交流,以学习园艺和自然知识)”可知,通过加入Garden Buddy项目,孩子们可以学习园艺和自然知识。故选B。
2.推理判断题。根据第二段““Some groups think dropping off supplies is helping. But if people don’t know how to use them, it’s like giving them a stone,” he explained. That’s why the program focuses on teaching skills — like how to water plants properly, what seasons are best for planting, and how to protect flowers from insects.(“有些团体认为发放物资是有帮助的。但要是人们不知道如何使用这些物资,那就好比给他们一块石头。”他解释道。这就是为什么这个项目侧重于传授技能——比如如何正确给植物浇水、哪些季节最适合种植、以及如何保护花卉免受昆虫侵害)”可知,Orson认为仅仅提供植物是不够的,更重要的是教会人们如何种植、照顾它们。这与“授人以鱼不如授人以渔”的理念相符合。故选C。
3.推理判断题。根据最后一段“The fund manager Elara Vane said, “Such programs are essential— they teach patience, responsibility and love for the environment, which helps kids both in and out of school,” adding that parents have noticed their children becoming more confident since joining the project.(基金经理埃拉拉·瓦恩说:“这类项目非常重要——它们能培养孩子们的耐心、责任感以及对环境的关爱,这对他们在校内外都有所裨益。”她还表示,家长们注意到自从参与该项目后,孩子们变得更加自信了)”可知,作者通过引用Ecology Fund的基金经理Elara Vane的话来强调该项目的价值。故选A。
4.推理判断题。根据第一段“Every kid should feel the joy of growing something with their own hands,” said Orson Pike, the project director.(项目负责人奥森·派克说道:“每个孩子都应该体验亲手种植作物所带来的快乐。”)”以及第三段“Orson is already 70, but he’s always been enthusiastic about the growth of the next generation. He believes that by letting kids choose what they love, they’ll grow into passionate gardeners. Many kids even share their progress with classmates, making gardening a social activity.(奥森已经70岁了,但他一直对下一代的成长充满热情。他认为,只要让孩子们选择自己喜爱的事物,他们就会成长为充满热情的园丁。许多孩子还会向同学分享自己的成长过程,这使得园艺成为了一项社交活动)”可知,Orson创办了非营利组织Seedlings for Tomorrow,并致力于通过该项目教会孩子们园艺技能和对环境的热爱。他相信通过让孩子们选择自己喜欢的植物,他们会成长为热情的园丁。此外,他还希望建立小型绿色站点,让人们可以交换种子和园艺技巧。这些行为都表明Orson是一个关心他人、尤其是关心下一代成长的人。故选C。

【例3-1】(2021全国甲卷C篇)
When I was 9, we packed up our home in Los Angeles and arrived at Heathrow, London on a gray January morning. Everyone in the family settled quickly into the city except me. Without my beloved beaches and endless blue-sky days, I felt at a loss and out of place. Until I made a discovery.
Southbank, at an eastern bend in the Thames, is the center of British skateboarding, where the continuous crashing of skateboards left your head ringing .I loved it. I soon made friends with the local skaters. We spoke our own language. And my favorite: Safe. Safe meant cool. It meant hello. It meant don't worry about it. Once, when trying a certain trick on the beam(横杆), I fell onto the stones, damaging a nerve in my hand, and Toby came over, helping me up: Safe, man. Safe. A few minutes later, when I landed the trick, my friends beat their boards loud, shouting: “ Safe! Safe! Safe!” And that's what mattered — landing tricks, being a good skater.
When I was 15, my family moved to Washington. I tried skateboarding there, but the locals were far less welcoming. Within a couple of years, I'd given it up.
When I returned to London in 2004, I found myself wandering down to Southbank, spending hours there. I've traveled back several times since, most recently this past spring. The day was cold but clear: tourists and Londoners stopped to watch the skaters. Weaving(穿梭)among the kids who rushed by on their boards, I found my way to the beam. Then a rail-thin teenager, in a baggy white T-shirt, skidded(滑)up to the beam. He sat next to me. He seemed not to notice the man next to him. But soon I caught a few of his glances. “I was a local here 20 years ago,” I told him. Then, slowly, he began to nod his head. “Safe, man. Safe.”
“Yeah,” I said. “Safe.”
1. What can we learn about the author soon after he moved to London?
A. He felt disappointed. B. He gave up his hobby.
C. He liked the weather there. D. He had disagreements with his family.
2. What do the underlined words “Safe! Safe! Safe!” probably mean?
A. Be careful! B. Well done! C. No way! D. Don't worry!
3. Why did the author like to spend time in Southbank when he returned to London?
A. To join the skateboarding. B. To make new friends.
C. To learn more tricks. D. To relive his childhood days
4. What message does the author seem to convey in the text?
A. Children should learn a second language. B. Sport is necessary for children's health.
C. Children need a sense of belonging D. Seeing the world is a must for children.
【答案】1. A 2. B 3. D 4. C
【解析】【分析】本文属于记叙文。本文讲述作者自己的经历,起初搬到伦敦很不适应,但是由于找到了玩滑板的地方,结识了玩滑板的朋友,因此很好的适应了。作者回到伦敦之后,经常去之前玩滑板的地方寻找自己的回忆,在与一个玩滑板的孩子打招呼的时候,终于找到了自己久违的熟悉感。
【1题详解】推理判断题。根据第一段“Everyone in the family settled quickly into the city except me. Without my beloved beaches and endless blue -sky days, I felt at a loss and out of place.(除了我之外的家里人都很快适应这个城市,没有了我喜爱的沙滩和蓝天,我感到迷茫和无措)”可知,作者刚到伦敦的时候因为没有喜爱的沙滩,不能很好的融入到新的城市,感到很沮丧,故选A。
【2题详解】词义猜测题。根据画线词后文“And that's what mattered—landing tricks, being a good skater. (那才是真正重要的——滑板的落地技巧掌握了才是一名好的滑板玩家)”可知,作者掌握了滑板落地技巧,因此他的朋友大声欢呼,因此可以推出本句的Safe是赞美的含义,结合选项,故选B。
【3题详解】推理判断题。根据第四段““I was a local here 20 years ago," I told him. Then, slowly, he began to nod his head. “Safe, man. Safe.””(我告诉他:“我20年前经常在这里玩滑板,”他缓慢地开始向我点头:“嗨,你好!”)”可推知,作者去Southbank这个地方是为了寻找自己玩滑板的回忆,故选D。
【4题详解】推理判断题。根据全文可知,作者起初搬到伦敦很不适应,但是由于找到了玩滑板的地方,结识了玩滑板的朋友,因此很好的适应了。但是搬去华盛顿,因为没有遇到很好的玩滑板的朋友,几年之后就不再玩滑板,作者回到伦敦之后,经常去之前玩滑板的地方寻找自己的回忆,在于一个孩子打招呼的时候,终于找到了自己久违的回忆。通过作者的经历,作者要表达的是,归属感对于孩子是很重要的,故选C。
【例3-2】(25-26高三上·辽宁大连育明高级中学·期中)
Thirty-two-year-old Ethan had spent a decade building his career as a software engineer in the city, but burnout and loneliness had left him feeling lost. When his favorite childhood watch — gifted by his father who passed away when he was 12 — stopped working, he didn’t just see a broken timepiece; he saw the last real link to the man who’d taught him to fix things with patience.
Desperate to repair it, Ethan searched online and found “Maggie’s Repair Shop,” a tiny store in a quiet neighborhood on the city’s outskirts. Unlike the modern tech shops he was used to, Maggie’s was filled with tools, old-fashioned clocks, and photos of strangers’ cherished items. Maggie, a silver-haired woman in her 60s, smiled as she took the watch. “This one has stories,” she said, turning it over in her hands. “Give me a week.”
Ethan visited every evening after work, not just to check on the watch, but to escape his stressful job. He watched Maggie repair a faded quilt, a chipped ceramic mug, and a rusted bicycle, listening as customers shared stories of their items — gifts from loved ones, mementos of important moments. “Fixing things isn’t just about parts,” Maggie told him one night. “It’s about honoring what they mean to people.”
On the seventh day, Maggie handed him the watch. It ticked steadily, its leather strap polished. “I added a tiny engraving on the back,” she said. Ethan flipped it over — there was his father’s favorite quote: “Patience mends more than metal.” As he thanked her, a couple came in with a broken music box, and Ethan found himself offering to help Maggie sand its wooden case.
Weeks later, Ethan quit his high-pressure job and became Maggie’s part-time assistant. He learned to repair small items, listened to customers’ stories, and slowly rediscovered joy in the quiet, meaningful work. The watch hadn’t just been fixed-it had led him to a life that felt rooted, not rushed. Sometimes, he realized, the things we try to repair end up repairing us.
1. Why was the watch so important to him?
A.It was an expensive antique timepiece.
B.It was a precious gift from his late father.
C.It had helped him get through hard workdays.
D.It was the only thing left from his childhood home.
2. What can we infer about Maggie from the passage?
A.She began to fix the watch a week later.
B.She used to run a modern technology store.
C.She understands the emotional value of objects.
D.She repairs items only for close friends and family.
3. Why did Ethan start visiting Maggie’s Repair Shop every evening?
A.He hoped to learn repair skills from Maggie.
B.He needed to finish his work in a quiet place.
C.He was asked to help Maggie with daily operations.
D.He wanted to ask about the watch and relax himself.
4. What is the best title for the passage?
A.A Broken Watch and a Mended Heart
B.An Experience of Repairing Valuable Items
C.A Father’s Quote That Changed Everything
D.Leaving a Hig-Pressure Job for Friendship
【答案】1.B 2.C 3.D 4.A
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了软件工程师Ethan因职业倦怠和孤独感到迷茫,为修复已故父亲赠予的珍贵手表,结识了修理店老板Maggie,在见证Maggie修复物品背后情感价值的过程中,Ethan不仅修复了手表,更找回了生活的意义,最终改变人生轨迹的故事。
1.细节理解题。根据第一段“When his favorite childhood watch — gifted by his father who passed away when he was 12 — stopped working, he didn’t just see a broken timepiece; he saw the last real link to the man who’d taught him to fix things with patience. (他最珍爱的童年手表——那是12岁时去世的父亲送给他的——突然罢工了。他看到的不只是个坏掉的手表,更是与那位教会他耐心修理东西的父亲之间最后的纽带)”可知,这块手表是Ethan 12岁时去世的父亲送给他的,对他来说非常重要,因为它是已故父亲送给他的珍贵礼物。故选B项。
2.推理判断题。根据第三段中玛姬说的话“Fixing things isn’t just about parts,” Maggie told him one night. “It’s about honoring what they mean to people.” (“修理东西不仅仅是关于零件,”一天晚上Maggie告诉他,“而是关于尊重它们对人们的意义。”)”可知,Maggie认为修理物品不仅仅是关于零件,更重要的是尊重物品对人们的意义。由此推知,Maggie理解物品的情感价值。故选C项。
3.细节理解题。根据第三段“Ethan visited every evening after work, not just to check on the watch, but to escape his stressful job. (Ethan每天下班后都去,不仅仅是为了查看手表,也是为了逃避他压力大的工作)”可知Ethan开始每晚都去Maggie的修理店,不仅仅是为了查看手表的修理情况,更是为了逃避他压力大的工作,放松自己。故选D项。
4.主旨大意题。文章主要讲述了软件工程师Ethan因职业倦怠和孤独感到迷茫,为修复已故父亲赠予的珍贵手表,结识了修理店老板Maggie,在见证Maggie修复物品背后情感价值的过程中,Ethan不仅修复了手表,更找回了生活的意义。由此可知,A项“一块坏了的手表和一颗被修复的心”最符合文章主旨,既体现了手表的修理,又体现了Ethan内心的修复和转变。故选A项。
解|题|技|巧
核心原则:由物及情:别被物品的表面描述迷惑,要看到它背后的人和情。就像修手表那篇文章,表面是修表,实际是修心。
解题三步走:
第一步:找到“物”,弄清它的来历:快速锁定文章核心物品是什么
例3-1的核心是Southbank这个滑板场地;例3-2的核心是父亲留下的手表
关键问题:这物品对主人公为什么特别?
第二步:抓住“事”,理清物品背后的故事
物品只是一个引子,真正重要的是它串联起来的人和事
例3-1:通过滑板场地,讲的是“我”从孤独到找到归属感的故事
例3-2:通过修手表,讲的是“我”从迷茫到找回人生意义的故事
第三步:悟出“情”,理解深层情感
这是最关键的一步!要问自己:作者到底想通过这个物品表达什么?
例3-1表达“归属感”的重要;例3-2表达的是“有些东西看似我们在修它,其实是它在修我们”
注|意|事|项
1. 别光盯着物品本身:手表不只是手表,它是父爱的象征;滑板场不只是场地,它是心灵的归宿。
2. 情感线索最重要:注意作者心情的变化,这往往是解题钥匙。从失落→找到慰藉→感悟人生。
3. 物品的象征意义是考点:出题人最爱考这个!要多想想“这个物品代表了什么?”
4. 结尾段落是宝藏:像“有些东西看似我们在修它,其实是它在修我们”这种句子,往往直接揭示了主旨。
【变式3-1】(25-26高三上·河北保定四县六校·期中)
Last September, I drove to a protected wetland near my home in Oakland, California. It was the first time that I had gone somewhere merely to watch birds. Since this unique journey, I’ve seen 452 species, including 307 this year alone.
In some birding circles, people claim anyone who looks at birds is a birder. I’ve cared about birds and other animals for my entire life, and I’ve written about them throughout my two decades as a science writer, but I mark the moment when I specifically chose to devote time and energy to them as the moment I became a birder.
Birding has significantly increased the time spent outdoors. It has motivated me to explore Oakland in ways I never would have. While birding, I seem impervious to heat, cold, hunger and thirst. My senses focus only on the present, and my head becomes extremely untroubled. I also feel a much deeper connection to the natural world, which I have long written about but always remained slightly distant from.
These recent years have taught me that I’m smaller when I’m not actively looking after myself, that I have value for my world and my community beyond ceaseless production, and that pursuits like birding that encourage joy, wonder and bond with places are not sidebars to a fulfilled life but the essence.
It’s easy to perceive birding as something you do when you’re not working, not being productive, and even an escape from reality. Instead, for me, birding means absorbing myself in the present moment: my thoughts quiet, my senses heightened, and I respond to real, observable events in nature with focused awareness without being distracted (使分心) by small, unimportant matters. I don’t need to know who the main characters are on social media and what everyone is commenting on them, when I can instead spend an hour trying to locate a rare bird.
1. Why did the author think the journey to the wetland special?
A.He protected bird species there. B.He fell in love with birding again.
C.He made his true start as a birder. D.He completed his writing during it.
2. What does the underlined word “impervious” in paragraph 3 mean?
A.Attentive. B.Subject. C.Resistant. D.Sensitive.
3. What lesson does the author probably learn?
A.Outdoor pursuits are a must-have. B.Self-care can help fuel self-worth.
C.Happiness serves as the core of life. D.Productivity defines personal value.
4. How does the author view birding according to the last paragraph?
A.A complete engagement with reality. B.A temporary escape from busy life.
C.A training in focus and observation. D.A substitute for online activities.
【答案】1.C 2.C 3.C 4.A
【导语】这是一篇记叙文,讲述了作者去年九月一次偶然的观鸟之旅让他正式成为观鸟者,此后观鸟不仅增加了他的户外时间、让他更亲近自然,还让他领悟到生活的本质,重新认识了观鸟的意义。
1.细节理解题。根据第一段“It was the first time that I had gone somewhere merely to watch birds. Since this unique journey, I’ve seen 452 species, including 307 this year alone. (这是我第一次专门去某个地方观鸟。自从这次特别的旅行后,我已经见过452种鸟类,仅今年就有307种)”及第二段“I’ve cared about birds and other animals for my entire life, and I’ve written about them throughout my two decades as a science writer, but I mark the moment when I specifically chose to devote time and energy to them as the moment I became a birder. (我一生都在关心鸟类和其他动物,在我作为一名科学作家的二十年里,我一直在写关于它们的文章,但我把我特别选择为它们投入时间和精力的那一刻标记为我成为观鸟者的那一时刻)”可知,作者认为这次湿地之旅特别,是因为它让自己真正开启了观鸟者的身份。故选C。
2.词义猜测题。根据第三段“While birding, I seem impervious to heat, cold, hunger and thirst. My senses focus only on the present, and my head becomes extremely untroubled (观鸟时,我似乎对冷热饥渴都impervious。我的感官只专注于当下,内心变得异常平静)”可知,观鸟时作者专注于当下,不受冷热饥渴的影响,因此“impervious”意为“抵抗的、不受影响的”。故选C。
3.推理判断题。根据第四段“These recent years have taught me that I'm smaller when I'm not actively looking after myself, that I have value for my world and my community beyond ceaseless production, and that pursuits like birding that encourage joy, wonder and bond with places are not sidebars to a fulfilled life but the essence (这些年我明白了,当我不积极关爱自己时,我会变得渺小;除了无休止的工作产出,我对自己的世界和社区也有价值;而像观鸟这样能带来喜悦、惊奇并与周遭建立联结的追求,并非充实生活的点缀,而是其本质)”可知,作者领悟到能带来快乐的追求是生活的核心,即幸福是生活的核心。故选C。
4.推理判断题。根据最后一段“Instead, for me, birding means absorbing myself in the present moment: my thoughts quiet, my senses heightened, and I respond to real, observable events in nature with focused awareness without being distracted by small, unimportant matters (相反,对我来说,观鸟意味着全身心投入当下:思绪沉静,感官敏锐,我以专注的意识回应自然界中真实可观察的事物,不会被琐碎小事分心)”可知,作者认为观鸟是对现实的全身心投入。故选A。

My parents did not bat an eye when I was still playing with Barbies in sixth grade. My classmates were not so understanding. 12-year-old girls weren’t supposed to play with Barbies and baby dolls anymore. Due to all the teases (取笑), I started playing with the dolls less and less and put them in a large storage bin under my twin bed. It was so full that I couldn’t even attach a lid to it.
My cat, Strawberry, would sleep with me each night and greet me every day when I got home from school. When we found out that Strawberry was pregnant (怀孕的), I couldn’t have been more excited. I got a big basket and as many old sheets as I could find, so Strawberry and her kittens would be comfortable. As Strawberry got bigger, she began to sleep in my bed less and less and in her basket more and more.
Two days before Strawberry’s due date, I was playing at a friend’s house. My mom came to get me early because she hadn’t seen Strawberry all afternoon and was worried about her. I immediately jumped in the car, knowing that she was probably hiding somewhere having kittens. As we drove home, my mom explained that my brothers had their friends over and were being awfully loud, so Strawberry probably didn’t feel safe in the basket I made for her.
When I ran into my room, I heard the cries of tiny kittens. I looked all over my room, but I couldn’t find where the cries were coming from. Finally, I searched under my bed, and the cries got louder. I managed to pull out my Barbie bin and found sweet, tiny kittens surrounded by a sea of blood-covered Barbies.
I wasn’t as upset as I thought I would be. It was time to let go of my Barbie dolls. Sometimes, childhood slips away without you realizing it, and other times it ends with something really important, like a bin filled with bloody Barbies.
1. Why did the author stop playing with Barbies as much?
A.She lost interest in them. B.Her parents asked her to.
C.She had no time to spare. D.Her classmates laughed at her.
2. What can we know about Strawberry after she was pregnant?
A.She was feeling unwell. B.She wanted to be alone.
C.She preferred her basket. D.She disliked playing outside.
3. Why did the author rush home?
A.To search for lost Strawberry. B.To keep an appointment with her friends.
C.To check on kittens’ condition. D.To ask her brother for help quickly.
4. What does the author try to express through the text?
A.Humans and animals can live in harmony. B.Time is the best medicine for wounds.
C.Nothing is more important than friends. D.Childhood ends in unexpected ways.

1.细节理解题。根据第一段“Due to all the teases (取笑), I started playing with the dolls less and less and put them in a large storage bin under my twin bed. (由于所有的取笑,我开始越来越少地玩这些娃娃,并把它们放进了我双人床下面的一个大储物箱里。)”可知,作者减少玩芭比娃娃是因为受到了同学的嘲笑。故选D项。
2.细节理解题。根据第二段“As Strawberry got bigger, she began to sleep in my bed less and less and in her basket more and more. (随着草莓的肚子越来越大,它开始越来越少地睡在我的床上,越来越多地睡在它的篮子里。)”可知,草莓怀孕后更偏爱自己的篮子。故选C项。
3.推理判断题。根据第三段“My mom came to get me early because she hadn’t seen Strawberry all afternoon and was worried about her. I immediately jumped in the car, knowing that she was probably hiding somewhere having kittens. (妈妈早早来接我,因为她整个下午都没见到草莓,很担心它。我立刻跳上车,知道它可能躲在某个地方生小猫了。)”可知,作者赶回家是为了寻找失踪的草莓。故选A项。
4.推理判断题。根据最后一段“Sometimes, childhood slips away without you realizing it, and other times it ends with something really important, like a bin filled with bloody Barbies. (有时候,童年会在你不知不觉中溜走,而有时候,它会以一些非常重要的事情结束,比如一个装满沾血芭比娃娃的箱子。)”以及上文可知,作者通过自身经历想表达“童年会以意想不到的方式结束”。故选D项。

(2025·全国二卷·高考)
Kathy Ho teaches high school inside Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital Stanford (LPCH). “Sometimes I don’t like saying that I’m a teacher,” says Ho. “People get in their minds an idea of what teachers do, but that’s not really what it is here.”
“Here” is room 386, where each year, about 500 LPCH patients also become students. The hospital school is free of parents, doctors, and medical procedures. It’s a place of learning. About half of Ho’s students stay for a week or less; others are there for more than a year. Most of Ho’s students will recover, which means that preparing them to return to school is an increasingly important component of care.
Still, in room 386, academics don’t come first. Physical health and mental health are the priority. “If you’re scared about something and thinking only about that, there’s no way you’re going to be able to learn,” Ho says. “I’m a coach, an adviser, and a comforter, and that’s what it means to be a hospital teacher.”
There are up to 30 students at any given time in Ho’s class. She generally works with their regular teachers to get lessons and tests being used at their home schools. Some teachers don’t give the kids any assignments; they express sympathy instead. “I feel like it is a disservice to the kids,” Ho says. “They think their teachers don’t care about their schoolwork.”
Ho recognizes the psychological benefit of helping kids keep up with their peers (同龄人) outside the hospital. “I actually think the medicine is only a small piece for some problems,” says Julie Good, director of pain management services at LPCH. “It’s about problem-solving around what it means to have a full life. Those kids have dreams. School can keep those dreams alive by giving kids a way to learn and grow.”
1. Who does Ho teach at LPCH?
A.Sick children. B.Young nurses.
C.Medical students. D.Patients’ parents.
2. What is a characteristic of Ho’s job?
A.Prioritizing academics. B.Encouraging innovation.
C.Treating various diseases. D.Playing multiple roles.
3. What does the underlined word “it” refer to in paragraph 4?
A.Offering regular lessons. B.Paying extra attention.
C.Assigning no schoolwork. D.Showing no sympathy.
4. How does the hospital school benefit the students according to Good?
A.It eases peer pressure. B.It helps them live in hope.

【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,主要讲述了Kathy Ho在斯坦福露西尔・帕卡德儿童医院(LPCH)担任教师的工作情况,介绍了医院学校学生的情况、她工作的特点以及医院学校对学生的益处。
1.细节理解题。根据文章第二段中““Here” is room 386, where each year, about 500 LPCH patients also become students. The hospital school is free of parents, doctors, and medical procedures. It’s a place of learning. About half of Ho’s students stay for a week or less; others are there for more than a year. Most of Ho’s students will recover, which means that preparing them to return to school is an increasingly important component of care. (“这里”指的是386 室,每年约有500名露西尔・帕卡德儿童医院(LPCH)的患者在这里成为学生。这所医院学校里没有家长、医生,也没有医疗程序。它是一个学习的地方。Ho老师的学生中,约有一半只待一周或更短时间,其他人则会待一年以上。大多数学生最终会康复,这意味着,帮助他们做好重返学校的准备正成为护理工作中日益重要的组成部分)” 可知,Ho在露西尔・帕卡德儿童医院(LPCH)教生病的孩子。故选A。
2.细节理解题。根据文章第三段中“I’m a coach, an adviser, and a comforter, and that’s what it means to be a hospital teacher. (我是一名教练、一名顾问和一名安慰者,这就是作为一名医院教师的意义)”可知,Ho工作的一个特点是扮演多种角色。故选D。
3.词句猜测题。根据文章第四段划线词所在句“Some teachers don’t give the kids any assignments; they express sympathy instead. “I feel like it is a disservice to the kids,” Ho says. (一些老师不给孩子们布置任何作业,而是表达同情。Ho说:“我觉得这对孩子们是一种伤害”)” 可推知,其中的“it”指的是不给孩子们布置作业这件事。故选C。
4.推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中Julie Good所说的“It’s about problem-solving around what it means to have a full life. Those kids have dreams. School can keep those dreams alive by giving kids a way to learn and grow. (这关乎围绕 “何为充实人生” 展开的问题解决。那些孩子拥有梦想,而学校能通过为他们提供学习与成长的途径,让这些梦想得以延续)”可推知,Good认为医院学校通过让孩子保持学习和成长,帮助他们维系梦想,即帮助他们生活在希望中。故选B。

“I am not crazy,” says Dr. William Farber, shortly after performing acupuncture (针灸) on a rabbit. “I am ahead of my time.” If he seems a little defensive, it might be because even some of his coworkers occasionally laugh at his unusual methods. But Farber is certain he’ll have the last laugh. He’s one of a small but growing number of American veterinarians (兽医) now practicing “holistic” medicine-combining traditional Western treatments with acupuncture, chiropractic (按摩疗法) and herbal medicine.
Farber, a graduate of Colorado State University, started out as a more conventional veterinarian. He became interested in alternative treatments 20 years ago when he suffered from terrible back pain. He tried muscle-relaxing drugs but found little relief. Then he tried acupuncture, an ancient Chinese practice, and was amazed that he improved after two or three treatments. What worked on a veterinarian seemed likely to work on his patients. So, after studying the techniques for a couple of years, he began offering them to pets.
Leigh Tindale’s dog Charlie had a serious heart condition. After Charlie had a heart attack, Tindale says, she was prepared to put him to sleep, but Farber’s treatments eased her dog’s suffering so much that she was able to keep him alive for an additional five months. And Priscilla Dewing reports that her horse, Nappy, “moves more easily and rides more comfortably” after a chiropractic adjustment.
Farber is certain that the holistic approach will grow more popular with time, and if the past is any indication, he may be right: Since 1982, membership in the American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association has grown from 30 to over 700. “Sometimes it surprises me that it works so well,” he says. “I will do anything to help an animal. That’s my job.”
1. What do some of Farber’s coworkers think of him?
A.He’s odd. B.He’s strict. C.He’s brave. D.He’s rude.
2. Why did Farber decide to try acupuncture on pets?
A.He was trained in it at university. B.He was inspired by another veterinarian.
C.He benefited from it as a patient. D.He wanted to save money for pet owners.
3. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A.Steps of a chiropractic treatment. B.The complexity of veterinarians’ work.
C.Examples of rare animal diseases. D.The effectiveness of holistic medicine.
4. Why does the author mention the American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association?
A.To prove Farber’s point. B.To emphasize its importance.
C.To praise veterinarians. D.To advocate animal protection.
【答案】1.A 2.C 3.D 4.A
【导语】本文是记叙文。文章讲述兽医威廉·法伯(William Farber)博士在从针灸中受益后,将综合医疗应用于动物,并取得了初步成效。
1.细节理解题。根据第一段的“If he seems a little defensive, it might be because even some of his coworkers occasionally laugh at his unusual methods.( 如果他看起来有点戒备的姿态,那可能是因为他的一些同事偶尔会嘲笑他不寻常的方法。) ”可知,Farber的同事们有时会嘲笑他不寻常的方法,他们认为他很奇怪。故选A。
2.细节理解题。根据第二段的“Then he tried acupuncture, an ancient Chinese practice, and was amazed that he improved after two or three treatments. What worked on a veterinarian seemed likely to work on his patients. So, after studying the techniques for a couple of years, he began offering them to pets.(然后,他尝试了针灸,这是一种古老的中国疗法,并惊讶地发现,经过两三次治疗,他的病情有所好转。对兽医有效的方法似乎对他的病人也有效。因此,在研究了这些技术几年后,他开始把它们提供给宠物。)”可知,Farber作为患者从针灸中受益,这促使他决定尝试在宠物上使用针灸。故选C。
3.主旨大意题。根据第三段内容“Leigh Tindale’s dog Charlie had a serious heart condition. After Charlie had a heart attack, Tindale says, she was prepared to put him to sleep, but Farber’s treatments eased her dog’s suffering so much that she was able to keep him alive for an additional five months. And Priscilla Dewing reports that her horse, Nappy, “moves more easily and rides more comfortably” after a chiropractic adjustment.(利·廷代尔的狗查理患有严重的心脏病。廷代尔说,查理心脏病发作后,她准备让他进入睡眠状态,但法伯的治疗大大减轻了她的狗的痛苦,她能够让它多活五个月。普里西拉·杜因(Priscilla Dewing)报告说,她的马纳皮(Nappy)经过脊椎按摩调整后,“行动更容易,乘车更舒服”。) ”可知,本段主要讲述了两个例子,一个是Farber通过整体医学方法帮助了患有严重心脏病的狗Charlie,另一个是马Nappy在接受脊椎按摩治疗后移动和骑行更为舒适。这些例子都是为了说明整体医学的有效性。故选D。
4.推理判断题。根据最后一段的内容“Farber is certain that the holistic approach will grow more popular with time, and if the past is any indication, he may be right: Since 1982, membership in the American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association has grown from 30 to over 700. ( 法伯确信,随着时间的推移,综合疗法会越来越受欢迎,如果过去有任何迹象的话,他可能是对的:自1982年以来,美国综合兽医协会的会员已经从30个增加到700多个。)”可知,法伯认为综合疗法会越来越受欢迎,随后作者列举了美国综合兽医协会的会员已经从30个增加到700多个的例子,因此推断美国整体兽医协会是为证明法伯的观点。故选A。

When was the last time you used a telephone box? I mean to make an actual phone call — not to shelter from the rain. Ages ago, right? The last time I used a phone box for its intended purpose was…2006. I was conducting auditions (试演) for my play in my tiny old shared house in London. Hoping to impress some talented actors to come and work for me for nothing, I spread some throws over the sofas and lit candles to make it seem a bit more ”young professional”.
As I rushed outdoors to empty the wastepaper baskets, the door swung shut behind me. Suddenly I was locked outside. My mobile phone was inside, but luckily there was a telephone box across the street. So, I called Directory Assistance, got put through to our landlady’s managing agent, and had a spare key sent to me with just enough time to get back in before the actors arrived.
As it has been many years since I last used one, I should hardly be surprised that then are no longer any public telephones near my house. The last one standing has just been turn into a “mini community library”: any passer-by can “borrow” a book from its shelves return it later, or replace it with another title from their own collection.
For a few months after the “library” opened, I didn’t bother taking a look, as I had assumed that it would be stuffed full of cheese love stories. Then I noticed folk conducting spring cleans dropping boxes of voluminous books on various subjects there. And these books were free. This unbeatable price-point encouraged me to experiment with dozens of titles that I would never normally consider buying. And I’ve discovered some great books!
If I ever get trapped outside my house again, my local telephone box will, sadly no longer be able to connect me with my keys. But it can certainly keep me entertained while I wait for my wife to rescue me.

A.It provides phone service for free. B.Anyone can contribute to its collection.

B.He was encouraged by a close neighbour.
C.He found there were excellent free books.
D.He thought it was an ideal place for reading.

(2025·云南民大附中·第三次模拟预测)
When Dr. Daniel Olaiya isn’t presenting Operation Ouch! on CBBC, he is working as a National Health Service doctor, specializing in anesthesiology (麻醉学). He is also a flight doctor, which means he works on air ambulances.
Olaiya’s interest in science didn’t start with school lessons. Instead, it grew from his love of science fiction. He was a big fan of superheroes, in particular the X-Men comics. His favourite character was Havok, who can release powerful energy, which Olaiya thought was really cool. Another hero that he admired was the film character Indiana Jones, an adventurous archaeologist and professor at a university. He used to dream of becoming “Indiana Jones” in his own way.
Becoming a doctor wasn’t always Olaiya’s dream, but by the end of secondary school, he viewed it as a career where he would deal with people, go on adventures and use his scientific knowledge, which was both enjoyable and challenging. Pre-medical studies were really difficult because there was a lot to study. He struggled with it, but when he started his degree at the University of Exeter, he says, “That was when the fun began.” He loved outdoor adventures and activities while he was studying there.
In 2016, Olaiya joined FameLab, a global science communication competition, to share scientific ideas with audience. He delivered a creative three-minute talk on the science of happiness. The next year, he participated again, despite arriving an hour late due to heavy traffic. The talk ended up being a success and Olaiya made it through to FameLab’s national final.
Science communication is still an important part of Olaiya’s job—he is now one of the presenters on Operation Ouch! on CBBC. His most important advice for any young doctor is to work really hard at school and “dive as deep as you can into the science and the human aspect, because you can’t have one without the other in medicine.”
1. What initially sparked Olaiya’s scientific interest?
A.Characters in science fiction. B.A global speech competition.
C.Formal classroom education. D.Medical training in university.
2. Why did Olaiya take part in FameLab?
A.To win its final prize. B.To better spread science.
C.To be a TV presenter. D.To show his medical skills.
3. Which of the following words can best describe Olaiya?
A.Reserved and talented. B.Independent and ambitious.
C.Warm-hearted and creative. D.Adventurous and determined.
4. What does Olaiya’s advice highlight?
A.All efforts will pay off one day. B.It is never too late to learn science.
C.Medicine needs humanity and science. D.Caring for patients overweighs skills.

He struggled with it, but when he started his degree at the University of Exeter, he says, “That was when the fun began.” (医学预科学习非常困难,因为要学习的内容很多。他对此很挣扎,但当他开始在埃克塞特大学攻读学位时,他说:“这就是乐趣开始的时候。”)”、第四段“The next year, he participated again, despite arriving an hour late due to heavy traffic. The talk ended up being a success and Olaiya made it through to FameLab’s national final.(第二年,尽管由于交通堵塞迟到了一个小时,他还是再次参加了比赛。这次谈话最终取得了成功,奥拉亚进入了FameLab的全国决赛。)”体现其是“坚定的(determined)”。故选D项。

Need a ride to the doctor? I’ll be glad to take you. Does your dog need to be walked while you’re on vacation? No problem.
Relatives, colleagues, neighbors, and even casual acquaintances all seemed to have my number. In my opinion, doing good for others could not only benefit those in need but also make me feel good. And I was OK with that until one afternoon when I received a call from an acquaintance of my dad’s.
This man I barely knew phoned to inform me that I was to drive him to a medical appointment the following Tuesday. I checked my calendar. Then I told him as nicely as possible that I couldn’t help him that day because of my tight schedule. His reaction wasn’t very kind.
At that moment, I checked my calendar carefully. I was averaging 14 good deeds a month. I stepped away from the calendar, eyes finally opened, and took a closer look at myself in the mirror. Dark circles shadowed my eyes. I didn’t feel like my usual energetic self. Clearly, it was time for me to change.
I brought my concerns to my friend Lucille. Though she was another busy woman, she still had time to socialize and get a good night’s rest. How did she manage all that? She gave me her secret in one word: limits. She told me not to run every time someone calls. Instead, ask the person some key questions: Is this an emergency? Is someone else available to help you? Is this something that can wait? And, the question I knew I should have been considering all along: Is this something you could do for yourself?
Now I consider those questions before rushing to another’s aid. Thanks to cutting down the favors I do for others, I have more energy and sleep better at night. Though I was fearful cutting back on my kindness would have met with disapproval, those friends and relatives started showing some real appreciation for my help. Now, sometimes, they even help me when I’m in need. And that may be the greatest benefit of all.
1. What initially motivated the author to help others frequently?
A.Her desire to expand her social circle. B.Her belief that it was a win-win approach.
C.The favor that others had done for her before. D.The encouragement from relatives and neighbors.
2. What’s the primary turning point for the author?
A.Physical tiredness became unbearable. B.Her friend directly pointed out her problem.
C.A stranger’s unkind response shocked her. D.She was too busy to take care of her family.
3. What can we infer about Lucille’s approach to helping others?
A.She always put her own needs ahead of others’ requests.
B.She never helped anyone unless it was an emergency.
C.She turned certain tasks over to others systematically.
D.She practiced selective assistance with boundaries.
4. What is the main lesson the author has learned from her experience?
A.Helping others is meaningless unless you benefit too.
B.Sometimes saying no is a choice beneficial to both sides.
C.Refusing others’ requests tends to result in dissatisfaction.
D.Good time management is crucial to interpersonal relationships.
【答案】1.B 2.C 3.D 4.B
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者过度助人导致身心俱疲,学会拒绝后反而获得了更好的人际关系。
1.细节理解题。根据第二段中“In my opinion, doing good for others could not only benefit those in need but also make me feel good.(在我看来,为他人做好事不仅能让那些需要帮助的人受益,也能让我感觉良好)”可知,作者最初频繁帮助他人是出于认为这是一种双赢的做法,既帮助了别人,自己又感觉良好。故选B。
2.细节理解题。根据第三段中“This man I barely knew phoned to inform me that I was to drive him to a medical appointment the following Tuesday. I checked my calendar. Then I told him as nicely as possible that I couldn’t help him that day because of my tight schedule. His reaction wasn’t very kind.(这个我几乎不认识的人打电话告诉我,下周二我要开车送他去看医生。我查看了日程表。然后我尽可能礼貌地告诉他,那天我因为日程安排很紧,帮不了他。他的反应不太友好)”以及第四段中“At that moment, I checked my calendar carefully. I was averaging 14 good deeds a month. I stepped away from the calendar, eyes finally opened, and took a closer look at myself in the mirror. Dark circles shadowed my eyes. I didn’t feel like my usual energetic self. Clearly, it was time for me to change.(那一刻,我仔细查看了日程表。我平均每月做14件好事。我离开日程表,终于睁开了眼睛,对着镜子仔细端详自己。黑眼圈笼罩着我的眼睛。我感觉不像平时那样精力充沛。显然,是时候做出改变了)”可知,作者在因为日程紧无法帮助一个几乎不认识的人,而这个人反应不友好后,意识到自己需要改变,这是作者的主要转折点。故选C。
3.推理判断题。根据第五段中“She gave me her secret in one word: limits. She told me not to run every time someone calls. Instead, ask the person some key questions: Is this an emergency? Is someone else available to help you? Is this something that can wait? And, the question I knew I should have been considering all along: Is this something you could do for yourself?(她用一个词告诉了我她的秘诀:界限。她告诉我不要每次有人打电话就跑去帮忙。相反,问对方一些关键问题:这是紧急情况吗?还有其他人可以帮你吗?这是可以等待的事情吗?还有,我知道我一直应该考虑的问题:这是你自己能做的事情吗?)”可推知,Lucille帮助别人的方式是有界限的,会进行选择性帮助。故选D。
4.推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Now I consider those questions before rushing to another’s aid. Thanks to cutting down the favors I do for others, I have more energy and sleep better at night. Though I was fearful cutting back on my kindness would have met with disapproval, those friends and relatives started showing some real appreciation for my help. Now, sometimes, they even help me when I’m in need. And that may be the greatest benefit of all.(现在,在匆忙去帮助别人之前,我会考虑这些问题。由于减少了为别人做的帮助,我有了更多的精力,晚上也睡得更好。虽然我担心减少我的善意会遭到反对,但那些朋友和亲戚开始对我的帮助表示真正的感激。现在,有时候,他们甚至在我需要的时候帮助我。这可能是最大的好处)”可推知,作者从自己的经历中学到的最主要教训是有时候拒绝别人对双方都有好处。故选B。

(25-26高三上·广东·11月联考)
It was my first trip to Paris, a city I’d dreamed of visiting since childhood. I wandered along the Seine River, snapped photos of the Eiffel Tower, and soaked in the charming atmosphere. However, disaster struck on the third day: when I reached for my bag at a crowded metro station, I found it empty — my phone, wallet, and passport were all gone. Panic surged through me as I realized I had no way to contact anyone or pay for food and accommodation.
Desperate and lost, I wandered aimlessly down a quiet street, trying to hold back tears. A kind-looking elderly man noticed my distress (困境) and approached me. “Are you in trouble, young lady?” he asked in broken English. I explained my situation, and his eyes filled with sympathy. Without hesitation, he offered to take me to the local police station to report the theft. On the way, he bought me a cup of hot coffee and reassured me, “Everything will be okay. Parisians are not as cold as people say.”
At the police station, the officer was patient and helpful, taking down my details and promising to contact me if there was any news. As I left, feeling still anxious, the elderly man insisted on driving me to a nearby youth hostel where he helped me negotiate a discounted rate. He even pressed some euros into my hand, saying, “Buy yourself a proper meal.” I tried to refuse, but he smiled and said, “Pass the kindness on someday.”
A week later, I received a call from the police, my wallet and passport had been found by a tourist who handed them in. Though my phone was never recovered, I had already experienced something far more valuable. That trip taught me that kindness is universal, and even in the darkest moments, strangers can bring light. I left Paris not just with memories of beautiful landmarks, but with a warm heart full of gratitude.
1. What was stolen from the author at the metro station?
A.Her flight ticket and credit cards. B.Her phone, wallet and passport.
C.Her camera and travel guide. D.Her cash and hotel reservation.
2. What does the underlined word “reassured” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A.Comforted B.Warned C.Criticized D.Challenged
3. We can infer from the passage that the elderly man ________.
A.was a staff member of the youth hostel
B.could speak fluent English with the author
C.cared about the author’s basic needs.
D.had known the author before the trip
4. What is the best title for the passage?
A.A Terrible Theft in Paris B.The Beautiful Landmarks of Paris
C.A Trip Full of Surprises and Regrets D.Kindness from a stranger in Paris
【答案】1.B 2.A 3.C 4.D
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。讲述了作者在巴黎旅行时丢失手机、钱包和护照的遭遇。一位善良的老人提供了帮助,带她去警察局、买咖啡、联系旅社并给予食物。最终钱包和护照被找回,作者深刻体会到陌生人的善意,并对此充满感激。这次经历让她明白,即使在困境中,人性中的善良也是普遍存在的。
1.细节理解题。根据文章第一段“However, disaster struck on the third day: when I reached for my bag at a crowded metro station, I found it empty—my phone, wallet, and passport were all gone.(然而,灾难在第三天降临了:当我在一个拥挤的地铁站伸手去拿我的包时,却发现包空了——我的手机、钱包和护照都不见了。)”可知,作者在地铁站伸手拿包时,发现包是空的,手机、钱包和护照都不见了。所以被偷的是作者的手机、钱包和护照。故选B。
2.词句猜测题。根据文章第二段“On the way, he bought me a cup of hot coffee and reassured me, ‘Everything will be okay. Parisians are not as cold as people say.’(在路上,他给我买了一杯热咖啡,并……我说:“一切都会好起来的。巴黎人可不像人们说的那么冷漠。”)”可知,在去警察局的路上,老人说了一些话目的是来安慰作者,让作者放心。因此划线词意为“安慰”,选项A“Comforted(安慰)”与划线词意思相近。故选A。
3.推理判断题。根据文章第三段“As I left, feeling still anxious, the elderly man insisted on driving me to a nearby youth hostel where he helped me negotiate a discounted rate. He even pressed some euros into my hand, saying, ‘Buy yourself a proper meal.’(当我离开时,心里仍感到有些不安。那位老人坚持开车送我到附近的一家青年旅社,并帮我谈妥了优惠价格。他还特意把一些欧元塞到我手里,说道:“给自己买顿像样的饭吃吧。”)”可知,老人很关心作者的基本需求。故选C。
4.主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段“That trip taught me that kindness is universal, and even in the darkest moments, strangers can bring light. (那次旅行让我明白,善良是普世的,即便在最黑暗的时刻,陌生人也能带来光明。)”以及通读全文,文章讲述了作者在巴黎旅行时丢失手机、钱包和护照的遭遇。一位善良的老人提供了帮助,带她去警察局、买咖啡、联系旅社并给予食物。最终钱包和护照被找回,作者深刻体会到陌生人的善意,并对此充满感激。这次经历让她明白,即使在困境中,人性中的善良也是普遍存在的。因此,选项D“Kindness from a stranger in Paris(来自巴黎一个陌生人的善良)”最能概括文章的主旨。故选D。

(25-26高三上·浙江绍兴·一模)
I packed my family into our old car and set off on a 3,000 km trip from Sydney to the outback, hoping to create lasting memories for the kids. My plan seemed ambitious — covering such distances with two young kids in the back might sound crazy to a sensible person.
For most of the journey, we often felt annoyed, arguing about the remaining distance and the discomfort in the car. I’d had outback road trip memories as a kid and wanted my city-raised children to see the vast open spaces.
At a bird-hide near Forbes, we watched a swamp with bright green water and dead trees. Eager to share Australian folk stories, I confidently told the kids that a mysterious creature lived there — but stumbled when they asked me follow-up questions. Their enthusiasm for the smallest joy knocked me for six. At a roadside motel that looked like a movie set, the kids loved being woken by the night trains, cheering each time.
After three days, we reached Broken Hill — a town dominated by a big slag heap (矿渣堆), just as remarkable as I remembered. Surrounded by kilometers of mineral-rich land, its streets imply its mining roots. I feared the mineral museum would bore the kids, but they yelled with joy, thinking it was real-life Minecraft.
The trip wasn’t fantastic — I even complained about hard mattresses on the bed and small towels. But on Easter morning, the kids went wild for a simple egg hunt in our cheap motel room, thrilled to search every corner. I set out to teach the kids about the far reaches of our state, when in fact the kids were the best perspective I could ask for all along.
1. Why did the author organize the trip?
A.To explore the locals’ unique lifestyle.
B.To make shared memories for the family.
C.To document the kids’ exposure to nature.
D.To relive the special outback experiences.
2. What does the underlined word “stumbled” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A.Tripped over my words. B.Argued about the stories.
C.Subscribed to their views. D.Reflected on the memories.
3. What does the author think of the trip?
A.It well fulfills its original purpose.
B.It is worthwhile despite inconveniences.
C.It leaves the family an unpleasant memory.
D.It is an ambitious but disappointing attempt.
4. What key message does the author try to convey through the passage?
A.Travel joy lies in overcoming challenges.
B.City-raised kids can easily adapt to the outback.

【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者带着家人从悉尼到内陆进行3000公里旅行,途中虽有烦恼但也有惊喜,孩子们给作者带来新视角。
1.细节理解题。根据第一段中“I packed my family into our old car and set off on a 3,000 km trip from Sydney to the outback, hoping to create lasting memories for the kids. (我把家人塞进我们的旧车里,从悉尼出发,踏上了3000公里的内陆之旅,希望能给孩子们留下永恒的回忆。)”可知,作者组织这次旅行是为了给家人创造共同的回忆。故选B。
2.词句猜测题。根据第三段中“Eager to share Australian folk stories, I confidently told the kids that a mysterious creature lived there — but stumbled when they asked me follow-up questions. (我迫不及待地想和孩子们分享澳大利亚的民间故事,自信地告诉他们那里住着一个神秘的生物——但当他们问我后续问题时,我却stumbled。)”可知,作者自信地给孩子们讲故事,但是当孩子们问后续问题的时候,作者却回答不上来,由此可知,stumbled意思是“说话结结巴巴,不流畅”,与“Tripped over my words. (说话结结巴巴。)”意思相近。故选A。
3.推理判断题。根据最后一段中“The trip wasn’t fantastic — I even complained about hard mattresses on the bed and small towels. But on Easter morning, the kids went wild for a simple egg hunt in our cheap motel room, thrilled to search every corner. I set out to teach the kids about the far reaches of our state, when in fact the kids were the best perspective I could ask for all along. (这次旅行并不精彩——我甚至抱怨床上的硬床垫和小毛巾。但在复活节早晨,孩子们在我们便宜的汽车旅馆房间里疯狂地寻找鸡蛋,兴奋地搜遍了每一个角落。我本想教孩子们了解我们州遥远的地方,但实际上,孩子们一直是我能要求的最好的视角。)”可推知,作者认为这次旅行尽管有不便之处,但还是值得的。故选B。

Amalia Garcia Lopez and Carlos Lafuente Picazo, two final-year university students from Spain, have just wrapped up a nine-day trip to Shanghai—a city they might one day consider calling home.
They were participants in the Young Explorer Program, a program designed to bring international members of Gen Z (Z世代) to China and introduce them to Shanghai. The program offers overseas youth the opportunity to experience Chinese culture firsthand and foster people-to-people exchange and mutual understanding.
Twenty-two young people from different cultural backgrounds took part in the immersive journey. Their route included guided city walks and visits to companies and neighborhoods, offering a deep dive into Shanghai’s society and culture. The group explored museums and heritage sites to learn about the city’s history, visited iconic tourist attractions to experience its modern vibe, engaged with traditional Chinese culture in local communities, and discovered thriving business hubs and revitalized (焕发活力的) historic neighborhoods.
All participants described the trip as both enjoyable and rewarding. During the trip, they were particularly impressed by Shanghai’s diversity — describing the city as “cosmopolitan (国际性的) ” and “dynamic”.
“I was coming to Shanghai with the impression that it’s like a city of the future, and so far, I feel like I’m seeing it for real,” said Picazo. “I think Shanghai is a city made for everyone. I’ve seen people from all over the world here, and you can find whatever you need. It has so much to offer to make whoever comes feel comfortable.”
“One thing that surprised me is that Shanghai has a lot of nature, and it is so green,” Lopez said. “It’s the perfect mix between society and nature, and it’s a city that’s growing every day. So, for me it was quite shocking because I think when cities expand, they tend to just get rid of the trees and the nature.”
1. What does the underlined phrase “wrapped up” in the first paragraph mean?
A.ended successfully. B.Packed carefully.
C.Cover ed completely. D.Celebrated joyfully.
2. What is the Young Explorer Program for?
A.Training Gen Z in global business. B.Exploring Shanghai’s natural scenery.
C.recruiting overseas talent for Shanghai. D.Promoting cultural exchange with China.
3. What impressed the participants most about Shanghai?
A.Its affordable living costs. B.Its harmonious diversity.
C.Its advanced transportation. D.Its traditional architecture.
4. How did Lopez’s perception of Shanghai change?
A.From skeptical to confident. B.From simple to complex.
C.From doubtful to appreciative. D.From abstract to concrete.
【答案】1.A 2.D 3.B 4.C

2.细节理解题。根据文章第二段“They were participants in the Young Explorer Program, a program designed to bring international members of Gen Z (Z世代) to China and introduce them to Shanghai.

3.细节理解题。根据文章第四段“All participants described the trip as both enjoyable and rewarding.

4.推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“One thing that surprised me is that Shanghai has a lot of nature, and it is so green(让我感到惊讶的一点是,上海拥有大量的自然景观,而且这里非常绿意盎然。)”以及“It’s the perfect mix between society and nature, and it’s a city that’s growing every day. So, for me it was quite shocking because I think when cities expand, they tend to just get rid of the trees and the nature.(这是社会与自然的完美结合,而且这是一座每天都在发展的城市。所以,这对我来说相当震惊,因为我认为当城市扩张时,它们往往会摆脱树木和自然。)”可知,Lopez原本对上海的印象可能并不深刻或存在误解,但在实际体验后,他对上海的自然景观和城市发展表示了赞赏和欣赏。因此,他的看法从怀疑或不确定转变为欣赏和赞赏,选项C“From doubtful to appreciative(从怀疑到欣赏)”符合题意。故选C。

Lynn’s world fell apart in 2018. Her son, James, a navy flight surgeon, was fatally injured in a mission and passed away. It was time for Lynn to honour the spirit of a man who had switched from studying commerce engineering to medicine because he wanted to help people. Lynn instructed the hospital to begin the organ donation process. These few words, as hard as they were to say, would soon ripple outward, allowing a man to return to work, a veteran to regain his health, and a cyclist to get back on his bike.
Mike was diagnosed with leukemia in 2004. Six years of treatment and exercise paid off. To celebrate his sixth year without cancer, Mike decided to ride his bike to New York. Unfortunately, his health deteriorated and one evening in 2017, he started having chest pains.
That was when a mother’s very worst day became a stranger’s best. James’ heart was beating in the cancer survivor’s chest now. The morning he woke up from the transplant, Mike found himself recharged.
Of the four letters Lynn had sent to the recipients, one reached Mike. Lynn described her son’s devotion to his country, the fact that he considered everyone a friend, and his love for scuba diving, snowboarding, and motorcycling. These pages painted a picture of just how special his new heart was. Mike carefully composed a response, accurately expressing his gratitude and communicating his desire to stay in touch with James’ family. It was a balm (药膏) for a wound that Lynn felt would never heal. And so began the emails and texts. She even began following Mike’s Instagram posts. “Knowing he was doing well really helped,” she says.
During his recovery, Mike had hatched a plan to cycle cross-country again, from the hospital that treated him to James’ grave. When he began the 1,430-mile journey in 2019, Lynn followed anxiously on his Instagram. Despite setbacks—steep climbs, wrong turns, flat tires—Mike pressed on. On November 20, he arrived at James’ grave, where Lynn waited. They hugged. Then came the tears—not of sorrow, but relief. A part of James lived on, and two strangers connected by loss and hope became family.

(六年的治疗和锻炼有了成效。为了庆祝自己抗癌成功六周年,迈克决定骑自行车去纽约。不幸的是,他的健康状况 deteriorated,2017年的一个晚上,他开始胸痛。)”可知,unfortunately表转折,说明健康状况从“好转”转向糟糕,最终引发胸痛,deteriorated应意为“恶化、下降”,与 A选项“declined(衰退、恶化)” 一致。故选A项。
2.主旨大意题。根据第四段“Of the four letters Lynn had sent to the recipients, one reached Mike.

A part of James lived on, and two strangers connected by loss and hope became family.(康复期间,迈克酝酿了一个计划:再次骑行穿越全国,从救治他的医院出发,前往詹姆斯的墓地。2019年,当他开启这段1430英里的旅程时,琳恩在照片墙上焦急地关注着他的动态。尽管遭遇不少挫折 —— 陡峭的爬坡、走错的路线、漏气的轮胎 —— 迈克仍坚持前行。11月20日,他终于抵达詹姆斯的墓地,琳恩已在那里等候。两人相拥而泣,这泪水无关悲伤,满是释然。詹姆斯的一部分以这样的方式继续存在,而这两位因失去与希望相连的陌生人,也成了家人。)”可知,迈克骑行到詹姆斯墓前,是为了向捐赠心脏的詹姆斯及其家人表达感激。故选B项。

At first sight, Easthope doesn’t seem much like a Cassandra (希腊神话人物). She smiles a lot. Her manner is kind and motherly; pushed to name her profession, you might guess at nurse or teacher. But look closer.
Easthope is an emergency planner whose job is to support the survivors of major disasters, in which capacity she acted following the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami and the fire at Grenfell Tower. For two decades, the public knew nothing about this vital work, which went on behind the scenes, though she was hugely admired in what we might call professional disaster circles: a voice of calm and a fountain of wisdom. But in 2023, she published a best-selling book about her career, When the Dust Settles, and that changed. People became very interested in what she did.
“At literary festivals, most authors get questions about their writing process,” Easthope says. “But I wouldn’t get those. What people wanted from me was to know how I lived with the knowledge that I have. Wasn’t I afraid? How did I handle it? I would tell them that I didn’t live afraid, and I would give them basic advice. But this wasn’t enough.” In the end, she felt she had no choice but to write a second book, one in which she would try to distill (浓缩) all that she has learned for the benefit of each individual.
While her publisher describes Come What May as a road map for resilience (韧性), the word is one Easthope dislikes. Ready, she suggests, is a better one. Easthope also reminds people that small things, like losing hair during illness or consuming too much food after someone dies, still matter. She encourages people to remember, not to forget, what happened during disasters, because such events leave a long-lasting effect.
