第二部分阅读理解 (共两节,满分50分)
第一节 (共 11小题;每小题 2.5分,满分 27.5 分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、和 D)中,选出最佳选项、并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
In honor of International Women’s Day, let’s reflect on four women whose writing has changed the course of literature and society.
Clarice
In 1943, at the age of 23, Clarice Lispector published Near to the Wild Heart, referred to as the greatest novel a woman has ever written in the Portuguese language. The reflections of Joana, the main character, say no to convention and expectations. The next year, the book won the Graça Aranha Prize. Lispector went on to write novels, articles and short stories. In the books she explores what it means to be a woman.
Hélène
French Algerian writer Hélène Cixous is considered to be the greatest living writer in French. She has published over 70 works and founded the first department of Women’s Studies in Europe. She writes across many languages and her most famous essay is Le Rire de la Méduse. By writing about herself in the essay, Cixous demonstrates that language can be used to claim the freedom and future that women have long been denied.
Audre
Born in New York to West Indian parents, she wrote and recited poetry from a young age. As a teacher, librarian, activist and poetess, she explores her identity in her writings, which speak to the experience of marginalization. To her, poetry is a vital necessity of our existence. It forms the quality of the light, within which we predicate our hopes and dreams towards survival and change.
Joumana
Award-winning poet, journalist, publisher and translator, Joumana Haddad, challenges dominant Arabic views about womanhood. Beirut, Lebanon, is where she was born and where she raised her two sons. She fell in love with reading in her father’s library at a young age. She describes her life in the autobiographical book-length essay Confessions of an Angry Arab Woman.
21. What can be learned about Near to the Wild Heart?
A. It’s an award-winning novel. B. It tells a story about its author’s life.
C. It describes conventional normal life. D. It’s translated from French to Portuguese.
22. Which word can be used to describe Hélène?
A. Brave. B. Humble. C. Productive. D. Sympathetic.
23. What do Audre and Joumana have in common?
A. They write across languages. B. They challenge dominant views.
C. They have held multiple occupations. D. They had tough childhood experiences.
B
Dr. Joseph Dituri, who is 55 and known as “Dr. Deep Sea”, has just finished an amazing adventure. For 100 days, the University of South Florida scientist lived in a small room underwater. He set a new world record, beating the old record of 73 days.
The farther you go below the ocean’s surface, the greater the pressure. The mission, known as Project Neptune 100, was a scientific attempt to study the effects of living in a high-pressure environment for a continuous period. In his undersea room, Dr. Dituri was living with pressure that was about 66% greater than the pressure on the surface. He believed that high pressure could help people live longer and stay healthier as they get older and that it could also help doctors treat different medical problems, including brain injuries.
Actually, Dr. Dituri went through several big changes. For one thing, he became 1.3 centimeters shorter during his time at the higher pressure undersea. He was also able to sleep much better. His physical conditions greatly improved in a couple of other ways, too.
While he was living underwater, Dr. Dituri stayed busy. He used the project as an educational experience for the youth. “I have communicated with thousands of young people to get them interested in science, technology, engineering and math,” he said. He had online chats with over 5,500 students from 15 different countries. Meanwhile, he kept teaching his college classes and worked with other marine experts to figure out ways to protect and take care of the ocean.
Dr. Dituri said his favorite part of the project was talking with young people. “If we can get people excited about science, that would be a great success to me!” he said. “Maybe one day, one of them will come back and break the record I just set. My greatest hope is that I can inspire a new generation of researchers to push back the boundaries.”
24. Why did Dr. Dituri have the adventure?
A. To learn how human bodies respond to high pressure.
B. To research the underwater life better.
C. To draw attention to a healthy lifestyle.
D To beat the previous world record.
25. What happened to Dr. Dituri?
A. His state of health stabilized. B. He was forced to live a busy life.
C. His height changed slightly. D. He suffered from sleep problems.
26. What does Dr. Dituri want to inspire young people to do through the project?
A. Develop enthusiasm for science. B. Challenge themselves bravely.
C. Expand scientific boundaries. D. Protect the ocean actively.
27. How can we describe Dr. Dituri?
A. He is high-powered and caring. B. He is determined and inspiring.
C. He is open-minded and insightful. D. He is committed and optimistic.
C
Recent research challenges decades of belief about money and happiness. While past studies claimed wealth weakly affects happiness in rich nations, new findings prove income comparison powerfully shapes joy. The key is “relative wealth” — feeling richer than others brings more happiness than high income or education alone.
Researchers analyzed 357 global surveys covering 2.3 million people. Participants ranked themselves on a 10-level “status ladder (地位等级)” comparing their position to society. Results revealed social comparison drives over 70% of money’s impact on happiness — far outweighing actual resources. “Money gains power when measured against others,” explains lead researcher Dr. Lee.
The researchers also found that the effect of social comparison was stronger in countries, such as Singapore. Resource competition forces constant social evaluation. Yet upward comparisons often backfire. As Mark Twain observed, “Comparison is the death of joy.” Having just a little more money than your parents doesn’t bring much satisfaction, because nowadays the neighbors are clearly much wealthier.
Critically, economic growth sometimes fails to improve national happiness. Why? The study suggests unequal progress makes many feel left behind despite personal gains. True well-being requires advancing both personally and relatively within society’s position ladder. Lawmakers thus must balance wealth creation with fair competition policies.
28. How does the study measure “relative wealth”?
A. By measuring education levels. B. By using a 10-level status ladder.
C. By researching job satisfaction forms. D. By analyzing spending habits.
29. Why does the author mention Mark Twain’s words?
A. To criticize social comparison. B. To claim historical wisdom is outdated.
C. To emphasize Singapore’s uniqueness. D. To indicate money’s declining importance.
30. What can be inferred about traditional economic policies?
A. They overvalue absolute income growth. B. They effectively use social comparison.
C. They prioritize education over wealth. D. They ignore resource competition.
31. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Absolute Wealth: Real Path to Happiness
B. Why Money Fails to Buy Joy in Modern Society
C. The Hidden Power of Relative Wealth Comparison
D. Education vs. Income: New Research Findings

73. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Last Saturday, David was taking a walk in the park near his home when he noticed a woman with a boy of about eight years old. When David passed them, he heard the woman yell. “How stupid you are! You’re good at nothing.” David stopped and looked at the little boy. The boy said nothing. He just stood there, looking upset.
David was reminded of his English teacher Mrs Brown in middle school. After he entered a middle school, David lacked self-confidence because he was often made fun of by others. He was often told that he was good at nothing, which David behaved. But one day it all changed.
One day, in an English writing class, Mrs Brown asked them to read a novel. They were asked to write a new chapter of the novel after they finished reading it. A few days later, David handed in his story. He didn’t give it much thought. But the next day, to his surprise, the comment “well done” from Mrs Brown came into view the moment he turned to the page where the story was written. When David read that, he almost burst into tears. He never expected to be praised one day. He suddenly gained some self-confidence.
That day after he returned home, he wrote a short story and gave it to Mrs Brown the next morning. And again he was praised. David became very interested in writing. He often wrote short stories and asked Mrs Brown to read them improve writing skills. One year later, David joined the school newspaper and became an editor of it. He was no longer that boy who lacked self-confidence. He gained his confidence, and was hopeful about his future.
He succeeded in entering a college and kept writing. Several years after graduating from college, he had his first book published. With some more books coming out, he became famous as a writer in his country. And he owed his success to Mrs Brown’s encouragement. Without her encouragement, his life might be very different now.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。
Inspired by his own life story, David decided to do something for that boy.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The mother was ashamed when she heard that.

In honor of International Women’s Day, let’s reflect on four women whose writing has changed the course of literature and society.
Clarice
In 1943, at the age of 23, Clarice Lispector published Near to the Wild Heart, referred to as the greatest novel a woman has ever written in the Portuguese language. The reflections of Joana, the main character, say no to convention and expectations. The next year, the book won the Graça Aranha Prize. Lispector went on to write novels, articles and short stories. In the books she explores what it means to be a woman.
Hélène
French Algerian writer Hélène Cixous is considered to be the greatest living writer in French. She has published over 70 works and founded the first department of Women’s Studies in Europe. She writes across many languages and her most famous essay is Le Rire de la Méduse. By writing about herself in the essay, Cixous demonstrates that language can be used to claim the freedom and future that women have long been denied.
Audre
Born in New York to West Indian parents, she wrote and recited poetry from a young age. As a teacher, librarian, activist and poetess, she explores her identity in her writings, which speak to the experience of marginalization. To her, poetry is a vital necessity of our existence. It forms the quality of the light, within which we predicate our hopes and dreams towards survival and change.
Joumana
Award-winning poet, journalist, publisher and translator, Joumana Haddad, challenges dominant Arabic views about womanhood. Beirut, Lebanon, is where she was born and where she raised her two sons. She fell in love with reading in her father’s library at a young age. She describes her life in the autobiographical book-length essay Confessions of an Angry Arab Woman.
21. What can be learned about Near to the Wild Heart?

Dr. Joseph Dituri, who is 55 and known as “Dr. Deep Sea”, has just finished an amazing adventure. For 100 days, the University of South Florida scientist lived in a small room underwater. He set a new world record, beating the old record of 73 days.
The farther you go below the ocean’s surface, the greater the pressure. The mission, known as Project Neptune 100, was a scientific attempt to study the effects of living in a high-pressure environment for a continuous period. In his undersea room, Dr. Dituri was living with pressure that was about 66% greater than the pressure on the surface. He believed that high pressure could help people live longer and stay healthier as they get older and that it could also help doctors treat different medical problems, including brain injuries.
Actually, Dr. Dituri went through several big changes. For one thing, he became 1.3 centimeters shorter during his time at the higher pressure undersea. He was also able to sleep much better. His physical conditions greatly improved in a couple of other ways, too.
While he was living underwater, Dr. Dituri stayed busy. He used the project as an educational experience for the youth. “I have communicated with thousands of young people to get them interested in science, technology, engineering and math,” he said. He had online chats with over 5,500 students from 15 different countries. Meanwhile, he kept teaching his college classes and worked with other marine experts to figure out ways to protect and take care of the ocean.
Dr. Dituri said his favorite part of the project was talking with young people. “If we can get people excited about science, that would be a great success to me!” he said. “Maybe one day, one of them will come back and break the record I just set. My greatest hope is that I can inspire a new generation of researchers to push back the boundaries.”
24. Why did Dr. Dituri have the adventure?
A. To learn how human bodies respond to high pressure.
B. To research the underwater life better.
C. To draw attention to a healthy lifestyle.
D. To beat the previous world record.
25. What happened to Dr. Dituri?
A. His state of health stabilized. B. He was forced to live a busy life.
C. His height changed slightly. D. He suffered from sleep problems.
26. What does Dr. Dituri want to inspire young people to do through the project?
A. Develop enthusiasm for science. B. Challenge themselves bravely.
C. Expand scientific boundaries. D. Protect the ocean actively.
27. How can we describe Dr. Dituri?
A. He is high-powered and caring. B. He is determined and inspiring.
C. He is open-minded and insightful. D. He is committed and optimistic.
【答案】24 A 25. C 26. A 27. B

C
Recent research challenges decades of belief about money and happiness. While past studies claimed wealth weakly affects happiness in rich nations, new findings prove income comparison powerfully shapes joy. The key is “relative wealth” — feeling richer than others brings more happiness than high income or education alone.
Researchers analyzed 357 global surveys covering 2.3 million people. Participants ranked themselves on a 10-level “status ladder (地位等级)” comparing their position to society. Results revealed social comparison drives over 70% of money’s impact on happiness — far outweighing actual resources. “Money gains power when measured against others,” explains lead researcher Dr. Lee.
The researchers also found that the effect of social comparison was stronger in countries, such as Singapore. Resource competition forces constant social evaluation. Yet upward comparisons often backfire. As Mark Twain observed, “Comparison is the death of joy.” Having just a little more money than your parents doesn’t bring much satisfaction, because nowadays the neighbors are clearly much wealthier.
Critically, economic growth sometimes fails to improve national happiness. Why? The study suggests unequal progress makes many feel left behind despite personal gains. True well-being requires advancing both personally and relatively within society’s position ladder. Lawmakers thus must balance wealth creation with fair competition policies.
28. How does the study measure “relative wealth”?
A. By measuring education levels. B. By using a 10-level status ladder.
C. By researching job satisfaction forms. D. By analyzing spending habits.
29. Why does the author mention Mark Twain’s words?
A. To criticize social comparison. B. To claim historical wisdom is outdated.
C. To emphasize Singapore’s uniqueness. D. To indicate money’s declining importance.
30. What can be inferred about traditional economic policies?
A. They overvalue absolute income growth. B. They effectively use social comparison.
C. They prioritize education over wealth. D. They ignore resource competition.
31. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Absolute Wealth: Real Path to Happiness
B. Why Money Fails to Buy Joy in Modern Society
C. The Hidden Power of Relative Wealth Comparison
D. Education vs. Income: New Research Findings
【答案】28. B 29. A 30. A 31. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了新研究发现,相对于绝对财富,人们对“相对财富”的感知更能影响幸福感。研究通过分析全球调查数据得出结论,社会比较在金钱对幸福感的影响中起关键作用,因此实现个人与社会的同步进步对提升幸福感至关重要。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“Participants ranked themselves on a 10-level “status ladder (地位等级)” comparing their position to society.(参与者在一个10级的“地位等级”上对自己进行排名,将自己的地位与社会地位进行比较。)”可知,该研究通过使用一个10级的地位等级来衡量“相对财富”。故选B。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段中的“Yet upward comparisons often backfire. As Mark Twain observed, ‘Comparison is the death of joy.’(然而,向上的比较往往会适得其反。正如马克·吐温所观察到的,“比较是快乐的死敌。”)”可知,作者提到马克·吐温的话是为了强调社会比较带来的负面影响,即批评社会比较。故选A。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中的“Critically, economic growth sometimes fails to improve national happiness. Why? The study suggests unequal progress makes many feel left behind despite personal gains. True well-being requires advancing both personally and relatively within society’s position ladder.(重要的是,经济增长有时并不能提高国民幸福感。为什么?研究表明,尽管个人有所收获,但不平等的发展让许多人感到被甩在后面。真正的幸福需要在社会的地位阶梯上个人和相对地位都得到提升。)”以及“Lawmakers thus must balance wealth creation with fair competition policies.(因此,立法者必须在创造财富和公平竞争政策之间取得平衡。)”可以推断出,传统的经济政策可能过于重视绝对收入的增长,而忽视了相对财富和社会公平的重要性。故选A。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章的主要内容,特别是第一段中的“The key is ‘relative wealth’ — feeling richer than others brings more happiness than high income or education alone.(关键是“相对财富”——感觉比别人更富有比单纯的高收入或高教育带来更多的幸福感。)”以及全文围绕“相对财富”对社会幸福感的影响展开讨论,可以得出文章的主旨是探讨相对财富比较的隐藏力量。C选项“The Hidden Power of Relative Wealth Comparison(相对财富比较的隐性力量)”概括文章主要内容,符合标题。故选C。

55. It is indeed an honor for China’s scientific research and Chinese medicine ________ (spread) around the world. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】to be spread
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意:中国的科学研究和中医药被传播到世界各地,这确实是一种荣誉。本句使用“It is + 名词 + for sth. to do sth.”的固定句型,It为形式主语,本空用不定式,作真正的主语;且“China’s scientific research and Chinese medicine”与spread“传播”之间是被动关系,用不定式的被动形式to be spread。故填to be spread。

【答案】Although##Though##While
【解析】
【详解】考查连词。句意:尽管他是个天才,但他有时会忘记一些事情,比如他朋友们的生日。根据句子逻辑,前后句存在转折关系,although/though/while引导让步状语从句,意为“尽管,虽然” ,符合语境。首字母大写。故填Although/Though/While。

【答案】distant
【解析】

58. In the future, we_________(use) advanced technology every day for automatic control of just about everything in our home.(所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】will be using
【解析】
【详解】考查动词时态。句意:在未来,我们将每天使用先进的技术来自动控制我们家里的几乎所有东西。此处结合语境可知,表示将来某个时刻或某一段时间里正在进行的或持续的动作,应用将来进行时。故填will be using。

【答案】followed
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意:神舟六号和七号完成了第二次载人轨道飞行,随后玉兔号月球车被送往月球研究其表面。空处需要非谓语动词作状语,该动词和其逻辑主语“Shenzhou 6 and 7”之间为被动关系,所以用过去分词作状语。故填followed。
60. These disasters made everyone sad and disappointed, ________ the desire to explore the universe never died. (用适当的词填空)
【答案】but
【解析】
【详解】考查连词。句意:这些灾难让所有人都感到悲伤和失望,但探索宇宙的渴望从未熄灭。此处“灾难让所有人都感到悲伤和失望”与“探索宇宙的渴望从未熄灭”构成转折关系,用连词but。故填but。

70. entirely
71. shown
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了美国著名画家Moses奶奶的生平经历,包括她的童年、婚姻、家庭以及绘画生涯的起步和发展。
【62题详解】
考查名词。句意:Moses奶奶是美国最著名的画家之一。空处表示“画家”应用名词painter,“one of+可数名词复数”,表示“……之一”,所以此处应用名词painter“画家”的复数形式。故填painters。
【63题详解】
考查序数词。句意:她于1860年9月7日出生在纽约,是十个孩子中的第三个。此处表示“第三个”,应用序数词third。故填third。
【64题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:她的父亲喜欢看孩子们的画,会给他们买很多空白报纸来画画。enjoy doing sth.为固定搭配,意为“喜欢做某事”,所以此处应用see“看”的动名词,作宾语。故填seeing。
【65题详解】
考查介词。句意同上。newspaper后为定语从句,先行词为newspaper,draw on the newspaper“在报纸上画画”,which代替newspaper在从句中作on的宾语。故填on。
【66题详解】
考查形容词。句意:年轻的Moses喜欢画快乐、色彩斑斓的场景。此处修饰名词scenes,应用形容词colorful“色彩斑斓的”,作定语。故填colorful。
【67题详解】
考查时态。句意:1887年,她嫁给了一个农场工人Thomas S. Moses,这对夫妇在弗吉尼亚州的一个农场定居下来。根据时间状语In 1887可知,此处描述的是过去的事情,时态应用一般过去时,谓语用marry“嫁给”的过去式。故填married。
【68题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:他们有十个孩子,其中五个在出生时就去世了。逗号后为非限制性定语从句,先行词为children,指人,关系词代替先行词在从句中作介词of的宾语,所以用关系代词whom构成“介词+whom”结构引导的定语从句。故填whom。
【69题详解】
考查冠词。句意:她的画最初在当地的一家药店和市场出售,很快就被一位商人注意到了,他买下了她所有的画。此处泛指“一位商人”,且businessman是以辅音音素开头的单词,所以此处应用不定冠词a。故填a。
【70题详解】
考查副词。句意同上。此处修饰动词bought,应用副词entirely“完全地”,作状语。故填entirely。
【71题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:1940年,她的三幅画在纽约现代艺术博物馆展出,她在纽约举办了第一次个人画展。此处为with的复合结构,即“with+宾语+宾补”,three of her pictures与show“展出”之间为被动关系,所以此处应用过去分词shown,作宾补。故填shown。

73. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Last Saturday, David was taking a walk in the park near his home when he noticed a woman with a boy of about eight years old. When David passed them, he heard the woman yell. “How stupid you are! You’re good at nothing.” David stopped and looked at the little boy. The boy said nothing. He just stood there, looking upset.
David was reminded of his English teacher Mrs Brown in middle school. After he entered a middle school, David lacked self-confidence because he was often made fun of by others. He was often told that he was good at nothing, which David behaved. But one day it all changed.
One day, in an English writing class, Mrs Brown asked them to read a novel. They were asked to write a new chapter of the novel after they finished reading it. A few days later, David handed in his story. He didn’t give it much thought. But the next day, to his surprise, the comment “well done” from Mrs Brown came into view the moment he turned to the page where the story was written. When David read that, he almost burst into tears. He never expected to be praised one day. He suddenly gained some self-confidence.
That day after he returned home, he wrote a short story and gave it to Mrs Brown the next morning. And again he was praised. David became very interested in writing. He often wrote short stories and asked Mrs Brown to read them improve writing skills. One year later, David joined the school newspaper and became an editor of it. He was no longer that boy who lacked self-confidence. He gained his confidence, and was hopeful about his future.
He succeeded in entering a college and kept writing. Several years after graduating from college, he had his first book published. With some more books coming out, he became famous as a writer in his country. And he owed his success to Mrs Brown’s encouragement. Without her encouragement, his life might be very different now.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Inspired by his own life story, David decided to do something for that boy.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The mother was ashamed when she heard that.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】范文:
Inspired by his own life story, David decided to do something for that boy. He went to the woman, who immediately recognized him because she had read his books and seen his pictures. David started to chat with her. He told her that what she said to her boy was not appropriate. Then he told her about the encouragement he once got from Mrs. Brown. In the end, he said, “I couldn’t have become a writer if I had believed I was good at nothing.”
The mother was ashamed when she heard that. She realized that she shouldn’t have called her son stupid, which would make him lose confidence in himself. So she said, “Thank you for your advice. I’ll never say such things to him again. Instead, I’ll find out what he’s good at and encourage him.” The woman then left with the boy. Looking at the back of the boy, David felt relieved, hoping his action could make a difference to the boy.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索,讲述了作家大卫偶遇一位正在大声责骂自己八岁的儿子愚蠢无用的母亲,想到自己过去的经历,如果不是因为中学的英语老师Mrs. Brown的鼓励和认可,他不会有现在的成就。于是大卫主动以自身经历劝说这位母亲不要否定自己的儿子,要多鼓励他,给他信心,这位母亲也意识到了自己的问题,希望这段小小的经历能给这个男孩带来改变。
【详解】1. 段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“受到自己故事的启发,大卫决定为那个男孩做点什么。”可知,第一段可描写大卫主动以自身经历劝说这位母亲不要否定自己的儿子,要多鼓励他,给他信心。
②由第二段首句“母亲听到这话感到很惭愧”可知,第二段可描写这位母亲思想和态度的转变,从而希望能给男孩带来改变。
2. 续写线索:决定做点什么——与母亲交流,讲述自己的经历——母亲感到惭愧——意识到自己的问题——决定改变——离开——希望
3. 词汇激活:
行为类:
①决定做某事:decide to do/determine to do
②聊天:chat with/talk with
③擅长做某事:be good at doing/do well in doing
④鼓励:encourage/inspire
情绪类:
①丧失信心:lose confidence/lose heart
②宽慰的:relieved/soothing
【点睛】【高分句型1】He went to the woman, who immediately recognized him because she had read his books and seen his pictures. (运用了关系代词who引导的非限制性定语从句和连词because引导的原因状语从句。)
【高分句型2】I couldn’t have become a writer if I had believed I was good at nothing.(运用了以连词if引导的条件状语从句和虚拟语气。)
