专题03 阅读理解（议论文） 主题01 人与自我 Passage 1 （24-25高一上·辽宁大连·期末） When training for my first long-distance race, I treated myself to an expensive fitness watch that tracked my time and pace. At the end of my final training run, I threw myself down on the floor the moment I got home, only to see my watch had failed me. Twenty-one miles briefly flashed on the screen before it went blank and disappeared forever. I cried in pain. That tragic image of me crying on my living room floor pretty much describes my relationship with exercise tracking technology. It can be a total joy to watch your data change as you get stronger and faster, but sometimes it became a stick for punishment. I would compare my pace with other people’s or criticize myself for not doing it 30 seconds faster. I never really recognized this as a problem. To me, tracking was the path to self-improvement, and the point was to be better. However, in the past year, “being better” has taken on a different meaning. My mental health dropped, and things like brushing my teeth became unimaginably difficult. Being better was supposed to mean taking care of myself and feeling some joy instead of getting faster or stronger. Once I started getting better, I reflected on what made me happy and what did not. So, I stopped tracking my runs and deleted all the data. I then found I really love jogging. I jogged around my local park with ease. But I do not love running quickly. I do not like races. I do not want to be pushed to be faster. I now notice the post-run sensations in my legs and the mental clarity it brings. I am now keenly sensitive to the fragrance of wild plants and the gentle warmth of sunshine on my face. I am better. Sometimes I am worse. But either way, I’m moving forward slowly and firmly, and that’s good enough. 1．What does the underlined words “failed” in paragraph 2 mean? A．Dragged. B．Monitored. C．Disappointed. D．Confused. 2．Why did the author give up tracking runs? A．To keep pace with others. B．To be faster or stronger. C．To restart his fitness watch. D．To taste the joy of running. 3．What makes the author love jogging? A．The feeling of being faster. B．Self-focused feelings in nature. C．Exercising tracking technology. D．The atmosphere of the local park. 4．What can we know from this passage? A．Adjustment brings happiness. B．Passion is the key to change. C．Sports contribute to health. D．Success equals tracking runs. Passage 2 （24-25高一上·内蒙古赤峰·期末） A year ago, I started my journey to the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC), full of dreams and hopes. I was grateful to my father for he always supported me, his only son, on my art journey. I was excited about the new life ahead and started packing my bags weeks before leaving. However, when I actually began this journey, everything was different from what I expected. The first few weeks were the hardest time of my life. Every night, I found it hard to sleep because I missed home so much. I didn’t know how to deal with these heavy feelings. Then I found some ways to solve my emotional problems. I joined many campus activities and looked for internship opportunities. In my free time, I tried new hobbies like photography and music. I tried to keep myself busy and make each day interesting so that I wouldn’t think about how lonely I felt. Soon, I started to feel very stressed and even had trouble sleeping. Finally, I decided to get help from a counselor (顾问). With his help, I realized that I needed to find a healthy way to deal with my emotions instead of avoiding them. I started learning meditation and breathing exercises, which helped me relax and focus again. I understood that I needed to find a balance between my studies and my emotional needs. How could I find this balance? I told myself that I had the ability to overcome these problems. I decided to be more active in social activities while staying focused on my studies. My first semester at college finally ended, and I not only achieved excellent academic results but also made many new friends. This is why I want to share my story-I hope to help other students realize that they are not alone when facing challenges and that it is always possible to find ways to overcome difficulties. 1．What is the author’s main purpose in writing paragraph 1?

He gave up hours of holiday fun with his family to help 75 trapped strangers. High winds changed an airline on Dec.25, a flight intended for St. John’s, Newfoundland. And the passengers finally arrived at Deer Lake on the other side of the island province. Local resident Brian Snow was friends with one of the passengers. And he realized that due to the national holiday, all the restaurants and shops in town were closed. On top of that, the hotel where almost 80 people had been dropped off had no restaurant. Mr. Snow posted a call to action on social media: “Let’s show the true Christmas spirit.” Within an hour, the Facebook post was shared 60 times and the community had voluntarily organized a delightful meal in the hotel lobby. Residents brought the passengers sandwiches, their own turkey dinner leftovers, freshly baked bread, and, of course, lots of cookies and desserts. However, the kindness from the Deer Lake community didn’t end at the dinner table. Dave Power, a passenger who was flying with his wife, said, “When we finished eating, my wife and I got our bags and came out to the front of the hotel, only to find a long line of cars.” Thanks to them, each passenger came back to the airport smoothly. “It was truly a ‘Come from Away Christmas’,” said Dave’s brother Robert Power on Facebook. This selfless devotion reminds us of a quite analogous story that happened in 2001, when townspeople came together to welcome thousands of passengers on planes because of the Sept. 11 attacks in the US. The Tony Award-winning musical Come From Away got inspiration from the kindness of these people. It details the efforts of community members who took care of the thousands of travelers for several days. 1．According to the text, the passengers on the plane ______. A．came from the same community B．rushed into shops for holiday food C．were stuck at Deer Lake due to bad weather D．came to Deer Lake to celebrate Christmas 2．What can we learn about Mr. Snow?

D．His friend came to Deer Lake to visit him. 3．What does the underlined word “analogous” in the last paragraph mean? A．strange. B．terrible. C．funny. D．similar. 4．What does the author want to express by mentioning the story happening in 2001? A．To praise the kindness from strangers. B．To honor the customs of the Deer Lake community. C．To show the importance of preparing for disasters. D．To stress the great influence of social media. Passage 3 （24-25高一上·辽宁·期末） Once upon a time, there was a poor man and a rich man. The poor man’s son was named Ham, and the rich man’s son was named Jim. They had been in the same school together since childhood and became good friends. One day, the two youths began a discussion as to whether wealth or effort was more powerful. Jim said that wealth was most important, while Ham declared for effort. At last, Ham declared, “Let us put it to the test: Let us both go to some far country and try whether wealth or effort is more successful.” Jim agreed to this plan and they fixed a day for starting. Then they both went home and collected some money and started off early one morning. After a time, they came to a certain country where Ham suggested that they should look for employment. But Jim did not like the notion of becoming a servant and he said that he would live on the money which he had brought with him, which would last for a year or two. “You may do as you like,” answered Ham, “but for my part, I must look for work.” So he went to a village and found employment as a teacher in a school while his friend rented a house and started making various friends, eating and having fun all day. One year later, Ham earned enough money, built a beautiful house and also got married. However, Jim had already spent all his money, and his friends who indulged in wine and meat also left him.

In many parts of Niger, access to clean water is a big issue. Rainwater collected during the rainy season is stored deep underground, sometimes as far down as 900 feet. However, bringing it to the surface can be quite challenging. It often requires specialized equipment. While shallower wells are less expensive, they still need labor and technology to function effectively. A single well can provide water for an entire village, making a big difference in their lives. In the weeks before the Water Walk event in 2024, students walked through their coastal town and asked donations (捐赠) from local businesses. They traveled much farther than the two miles they would cover during the actual event. “It was all worth it to make a positive impact on people in Africa,” Alex Johnson remarked as one of student organizers Standing on the boardwalk and looking out over the sand to the horizon (地平线) and beyond you can see a lifeline reaching from a few devoted kids to a similar group of kids in an African village. What once seemed like an unimaginable connection now feels unbelievably real. Students on both sides of the world walk under the same sun. On other days, they would have different places to go, but today, they walk for the same reason: to share the relationship of being one human family In another village in Niger, a well was completed. As the villagers eagerly worked the hand pump, the expectation grew. Within moments, a gentle stream of clean water began to flow, quickly turning into a powerful gush. In such a dry village, this was a wonder. Buckets filled up, and children played in the water, their tears of joy flowing as easily as the well water. 1．What can we infer about constructing wells in Niger? A．It’s expensive and ineffective. B．It’s simple and enjoyable. C．It’s challenging but affordable. D．It’s difficult but worthwhile. 2．Why is the connection mentioned in the fourth paragraph? A．To praise the participants of the event. B．To illustrate the difficulty of the event. C．To highlight the significance of the event. D．To share the relationship of the human family. 3．What is the main focus of the last paragraph? A．The excitement of building a well. B．The requirement for completing a well. C．The merry sight of drawing water from a well. D．The quality of water from the local village’s well. 4．What can be a suitable title for the text? A．Students’ Walk on the beach B．From the Beach to Niger C．Niger’s struggle for Clean Water D．Walking to a Neighboring school Passage 2 （24-25高一上·辽宁丹东·期末） Anna, a retired teacher, was walking her dogs when she found yellow marks stuck on some of the 99 oak trees in a lane close to her home. The marks indicated trees were bound to be felled (砍伐). Anna loved that ancient line of oaks. She felt upset when remembering the moment she realized the oaks would be cut down. “My family and I would picnic under them, climb them, have rope swings on them. The trees are beautiful and mean so much.” she says. The trees were to be cut down as part of the new high-speed railway works. She called the railway helpline and was told there was nothing that could be done. Anna had spent her career as a teacher telling children that “If something is wrong, you can’t stand by and let it happen. You have to speak up for people who can’t speak for themselves.” She thought, “Who is speaking for the trees?” So she began to save the trees with her daughter’s help. She started a petition (请愿书) which collected nearly 43,000 signatures. She also started a campaign, urging local people to sound their horns when driving down the road if they wanted the oaks to stay. “You could hear people honking all the way down the lane,” she says. “It was amazing.” Anna made contact with a nonprofit. “We discovered seven species of bats were using the trees as a commuting corridor,” she says. So the felling stopped. “There are 87 trees still standing because of the campaign,” says Anna proudly. “But 20 to 30 trees still remain under threat. We want a green crossing in the gaps between trees for the bats, and we’d like the place to become a conservation area.” For Anna, campaigning for the trees has been life-changing. “If you’d said that I’d be where I am now 16 months ago, I wouldn’t have believed you. I’m called ‘Bat Woman’ by my campaign colleagues now. For the trees and the bats - this is what I am and will be fighting for!” she says. 1．Why was Anna depressed when knowing the trees would be cut down?

I thought of all of the friends I had made in the sport. It had been a decade since I entered a competition. Strangely, tears began to roll down my cheeks. Then, for the first time in many years, I wept openly. I tried to calm myself and walked to the bathroom to wash my face. It was there that I took a good, long, hard look at myself in the mirror. I was no longer that marathon runner. I was a middle-aged man to sit behind the desk in my office for the day and had grown content in my life and appeared comfortable with the increase in the size of my waistline. When I took a serious look at myself, I knew it was time to change. I lacked discipline (自制力) and had no readily identifiable goals. Strange quiet came over me. I was going to transform my life. It was time to reinvent myself, to become all that I could imagine. I asked myself one more question, “What are you willing to do to make this dream a reality?” The answer was a very simple one, “Whatever it takes! ” The first few days, I was filled with enthusiasm and it was easy to stay on track. I prepared myself mentally for the difficult days. As the days went by, my newly discovered discipline developed into more discipline. I vowed (发誓) to remain true to my restricted diet of 1,200 calories per day. I was running for an hour every morning and lifting weights for another hour three or four days per week. Weight began to reduce. I lost about three pounds every week. This was feeling good. I was gaining momentum and strength as each day passed.

My friends had helped me celebrate my 31st birthday in the basement apartment, where I lived. Earlier in the day I had prepared for the unlikely event of a flood. We are about a third of a mile from the banks of the Ahr River. It had been raining buckets that week and the government had sent out a flood warning, though not for where I was. Still, I’d placed sandbags on the floor outside my garden door and put electronics on tables. “Silly bro!” My friends laughed at me for doing that, but I thought, why take a chance? As I drifted off to sleep, I was awakened by the sound of rushing water, as if I were lying beside a waterfall. When I got off the bed, I was shocked that cold water was rising fast. In darkness, I grabbed my cellphone and turned on the flashlight. When I stepped out of the bedroom, I saw water shooting through the gaps of the door. I began to panic. I knew I had to get out—fast! In bare feet, I started to make my way to the only escape: the door that led upstairs to the main floor. Finally I made it to the door and tried several times to-pull it open even just a little bit, but the rushing water shut it again. I looked around for anything I could use to keep it open. There in the corner was a coat rack (架子). I took it and, once again, opened the door, throwing the coat rack between the door and the frame (门框) to keep the door from shutting. Finally, I managed to make a gap just wide enough to squeeze (挤) through and make it into the hallway. I leaped on to the stairs and ran outside. I stood there in the darkness, wet through. What was once a lovely street was now a waterscape, with floating ruins instead of people and cars. The river had drowned (淹没) the neighborhood! 1．What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 2imply? A．Better safe than sorry. B．It never rains but it pours. C．A lost chance never returns.

C．Keeping the door from shutting. D．Squeezing through the gap. 4．How did the author feel when standing on the street? A．Sad and shocked. B．Annoyed and anxious. C．Surprised and disappointed. D．Puzzled and awkward. 主题02 人与社会 Passage 1 （24-25高一上·辽宁·期末） It was rush hours in the morning. Heather Sant, 36, was driving her white 2012 Mazda on the road with her nine-year-old daughter and ten-year-old son in the back. Suddenly, a red pickup truck cut them off. Sant turned the wheel hard to the right, sending the Mazda sliding off the road and down an embankment (路堤) that ended in a drop-off after about 50 feet. If the car didn’t stop, it would take off and dive into the road some 20 feet below. Then a bit of luck: as the car raced toward the edge, its under carriage got stuck, stopping it suddenly. The people inside, however, were far from safe. The car had come to rest on top of a retaining wall (护墙), balancing on the edge of disaster. One sudden move by anyone inside could throw the car off balance and send it over. Jacob Rodriguez watched everything in terror from the nearby truck company where he works. As an experienced sailor, just like every time he met shipwreck, he whispered a sailing saying “Ship, shipmates, self”. Then immediately he and four other men ran to the car. They leaped onto the trunk (后备箱) to balance the weight as the terrified kids in the back seat watched. Meanwhile, Julio and his nephew March, were driving to their jobs at nearby Premier Auto motive. Julio jumped out of the car to help while March went to the shop, grabbed a strong rope, and returned to the car. He tied the Mazda to an F-350 truck that had been driven over by one of the other rescuers. With the car secured, the group carefully opened the back doors and helped the children out. But their leaving changed the cars’ weight, causing it to tip forward. The men, still on the trunk, begged Sant to jump into the back seat. She did and then inched out of the back door. Finally, the men carefully got off the trunk. Everyone was safe. “Another foot,” Rodriguez told USA Today, “and this would be a different story.” 1．What most probably caused the traffic accident? A．The Mazda was overloaded. B．The car was really speeding. C．The wheel failed to work. D．A pickup truck cut in suddenly. 2．Why did the men ask Sant to move to the back seat? A．To open the back door of the car. B．To fasten the rope to the truck. C．To keep the balance of the car. D．To help the men get off the trunk. 3．What does Rodriguez want to stress in the last paragraph? A．The timely help offered by rescuers. B．The excellent cooperation of the children. C．The dangerous position where the car stopped. D．The serious danger the rescuers faced. 4．Which of the following statements agree with the theme of the passage? A．One in trouble, all to help. B．Hold your horses. C．Well begun, half done. D．Don’t jump in with both feet. Passage 2 （24-25高一上·内蒙古·期末） Back in the day when I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do with my life, I was studying to become a firefighter. As a firefighter, you’re constantly thinking of other people and trying to help children. It’s the mindset, that is the most difficult part in this job! One night I was heading home and decided to stop off at a burrito (玉米饼) place. I was approached by a homeless man. He was very dirty and obviously hungry. He asked me for some change to buy a little food. As I was pulling some change out, I had an idea. I decided to see if he wanted to eat a real dinner, so I asked him to follow me back into the burrito joint to order. When he followed me in, the people behind the count er refused to let him in. After some arguing, so I had to encourage him to order whatever and however much he wanted. He ended up ordering enough to fill his stomach at least 3 times over! For someone who has been on the edges of society it seemed like he was very surprised at my kind behavior. But to me, it was what any “human being” should do or at least offer. I know we see these people every day asking for money but you had to be there to see the look in his face. To me it reminded me when I was young and my mom brought out a big birthday cake for me on my birthday, with all the candy, getting to experience a big meal. And I think he felt special, like he was getting attention. Again something that I could see he hadn’t experienced in a long time. I often think about this story, because to me it’s not just about helping someone out by feeding them, but giving him the respect of being a human being and allowing him to feel good about himself was very rewarding. 1．What’s the hardest part of being a firefighter according to the author?

Passage 3 （23-24高一上·吉林·期末） Confucius (孔子), a famous teacher, was a politician and philosopher (哲 学 家 ) who lived in “Spring and Autumn Period”. During his lifetime, he planted the seeds for China’s complete change by teaching thousands of people. Today, he is thought to be one of the  world’s greatest teachers. Confucius grew up in a poor family. As he grew up, Confucius worked to help his mother earn money. When he wasn’t working, he would read. His favorite thing to do was to learn. His mother saw this and did her best to help him learn. One day, rich families noticed how smart he was and offered him jobs counting their money and keeping track of their crops. Confucius did this until he was 30 years old, but he always wanted to do more. He didn’t like the way rulers treated their people. He wanted to find a way to help people who were less fortunate than he was. Later, he founded the philosophy “Confucianism”. Confucianism states that by educating yourself, loving your family, and respecting tradition you could become a better person. Confucius believed a person could achieve these things by practicing self-discipline (自 律). For the rest of his life, Confucius traveled and taught the people of China about self-discipline and the importance of education. He even opened China’s first school that taught both the poor and the wealthy as equals. Although he became very famous among China’s lower classes, the rulers of China never accepted his teachings. Eventually, his philosophy of self-discipline helped China unite under one ruler and finally find peace. Today, Confucius is celebrated all over the world for his philosophy of education, equality, and peace over war, money, and injustice. 1．What can we know about Confucius from the passage? A．He was born in a politician family. B．He was once a farmer guiding people farming. C．He once acted as a math teacher.

D．Equality. 4．What is the writer’s attitude towards Confucianism? A．Supportive. B．Doubtful. C．Disappointed. D．Hopeful. Passage 4 （23-24高一上·内蒙古·期末） When the Uzbek girl Dilsora firstly met what seemed more like a Western-style dragon than a Chinese one, a beast to run away from her rather than a friend to be respected, she was at a loss about it. “Before college, I caught an interview on TV featuring an Uzbek student studying in China, she tweeted. However, I didn’t have the slightest idea that this language would be my future major in college. Then, when I started studying it at college, oh, jeez …pretty challenging! ” Nevertheless, as with a dragon story, there is a twist in the tail, and Dilsora’s despair gave way to nobler principles. “Give up? Nope! Instead, I pressed on with Chinese. ” she added with a giggle, “My mother also encouraged me all the way! ” Gradually, her feelings toward Chinese changed in the second year of college after Dilsora got a scholarship to study at Northeast Normal University in Changchun for a year, which proved a big turn on the pages of her fulfilling life. “The first time I came to China, amazingly engaging were the locals, by whom I was totally fascinated. In spite of myself, I fell in love with Chinese culture. ” Since then she has got master's and doctoral degrees, becoming a college teacher in Beijing, teaching Uzbek to Chinese students. In her spare time, being an all-nighter, she often loses herself in Chinese masterpieces. Two years later, on Instagram, she even set up a Chinese Reading Club to attract more to read. “Although I am ordinary, ” just as she, now the boss of the Reading Club, matter-of-factly put it, “since I’ve come this far, I am to come further. Harvesting the best outcome is my lasting dream. ” Those primary schoolers hearing the tale of Dilsora devoting so much to Chinese learning might be several times more likely to learn Chinese hard than those who didn’t, as Jimu news staff predicted. Besides, Dilsora has answered another calling: translating books by Chinese president into Uzbek.

At the end of my final training run, I threw myself down on the floor the moment I got home, only to see my watch had failed me. Twenty-one miles briefly flashed on the screen before it went blank and disappeared forever. I cried in pain. That tragic image of me crying on my living room floor pretty much describes my relationship with exercise tracking technology. It can be a total joy to watch your data change as you get stronger and faster, but sometimes it became a stick for punishment. I would compare my pace with other people’s or criticize myself for not doing it 30 seconds faster. I never really recognized this as a problem. To me, tracking was the path to self-improvement, and the point was to be better. However, in the past year, “being better” has taken on a different meaning. My mental health dropped, and things like brushing my teeth became unimaginably difficult. Being better was supposed to mean taking care of myself and feeling some joy instead of getting faster or stronger. Once I started getting better, I reflected on what made me happy and what did not. So, I stopped tracking my runs and deleted all the data. I then found I really love jogging. I jogged around my local park with ease. But I do not love running quickly. I do not like races. I do not want to be pushed to be faster. I now notice the post-run sensations in my legs and the mental clarity it brings. I am now keenly sensitive to the fragrance of wild plants and the gentle warmth of sunshine on my face. I am better. Sometimes I am worse. But either way, I’m moving forward slowly and firmly, and that’s good enough. 1．What does the underlined words “failed” in paragraph 2 mean? A．Dragged. B．Monitored. C．Disappointed. D．Confused. 2．Why did the author give up tracking runs? A．To keep pace with others. B．To be faster or stronger. C．To restart his fitness watch. D．To taste the joy of running. 3．What makes the author love jogging? A．The feeling of being faster. B．Self-focused feelings in nature. C．Exercising tracking technology. D．The atmosphere of the local park. 4．What can we know from this passage? A．Adjustment brings happiness. B．Passion is the key to change. C．Sports contribute to health. D．Success equals tracking runs. 【答案】1．C 2．D 3．B 4．A 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者曾经执着于通过运动跟踪数据来让自己变得更好，但这也导致作者变得不再快乐，于是作者删除了手表上的运动数据，开始专注于跑步时的感受，如今作者感到更加快乐了。 1．词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“only to see my watch had(结果看到我的手表……)”以及后文“Twenty-one miles briefly flashed on the screen before it went blank and disappeared forever. I cried in pain.(21英里在屏幕上短暂地一闪而过，然后一片空白，永远地消失了。我痛苦地哭了)”可知，作者记录的跑步数在手表上消失了，即手表让作者失望了，作者痛苦地哭了。故划线词意思是“使失望”。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据第三段“Being better was supposed to mean taking care of myself and feeling some joy instead of getting faster or stronger. Once I started getting better, I reflected on what made me happy and what did not. So, I stopped tracking my runs and deleted all the data.(变得更好应该意味着照顾好自己，感受一些快乐，而不是变得更快或更强。一旦我开始好转，我就会反思什么能让我快乐，什么不能。所以，我不再跟踪我的跑步，并删除了所有的数据)”可知，作者放弃了追踪跑步是为了体验跑步的乐趣。故选D。 3．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“I now notice the post-run sensations in my legs and the mental clarity it brings. I am now keenly sensitive to the fragrance of wild plants and the gentle warmth of sunshine on my face.(我现在注意到跑步后腿上的感觉和它带来的精神清晰度。我现在对野生植物的香味和阳光照在脸上的温柔的温暖非常敏感)”可知，作者喜欢慢跑是因为喜爱自然中自我关注的感觉。故选B。 4．推理判断题。根据第三段“However, in the past year, “being better” has taken on a different meaning. My mental health dropped, and things like brushing my teeth became unimaginably difficult. Being better was supposed to mean taking care of myself and feeling some joy instead of getting faster or stronger. Once I started getting better, I reflected on what made me happy and what did not. So, I stopped tracking my runs and deleted all the data.(然而，在过去的一年里，“变得更好”有了不同的含义。我的心理健康下降了，像刷牙这样的事情变得难以想象地困难。变得更好应该意味着照顾好自己，感受一些快乐，而不是变得更快或更强。一旦我开始好转，我就会反思什么能让我快乐，什么不能。所以，我不再跟踪我的跑步，并删除了所有的数据)”可知，文章主要讲述了作者曾经执着于通过运动跟踪数据来让自己变得更好，但这也导致作者变得不再快乐，于是作者删除了手表上的运动数据，开始专注于跑步时的感受，如今作者感到更加快乐了。由此推知，我们可从文章得知调整带来快乐。故选A。 Passage 2 （24-25高一上·内蒙古赤峰·期末） A year ago, I started my journey to the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC), full of dreams and hopes. I was grateful to my father for he always supported me, his only son, on my art journey. I was excited about the new life ahead and started packing my bags weeks before leaving. However, when I actually began this journey, everything was different from what I expected. The first few weeks were the hardest time of my life. Every night, I found it hard to sleep because I missed home so much. I didn’t know how to deal with these heavy feelings. Then I found some ways to solve my emotional problems. I joined many campus activities and looked for internship opportunities. In my free time, I tried new hobbies like photography and music. I tried to keep myself busy and make each day interesting so that I wouldn’t think about how lonely I felt. Soon, I started to feel very stressed and even had trouble sleeping. Finally, I decided to get help from a counselor (顾问). With his help, I realized that I needed to find a healthy way to deal with my emotions instead of avoiding them. I started learning meditation and breathing exercises, which helped me relax and focus again. I understood that I needed to find a balance between my studies and my emotional needs. How could I find this balance? I told myself that I had the ability to overcome these problems. I decided to be more active in social activities while staying focused on my studies. My first semester at college finally ended, and I not only achieved excellent academic results but also made many new friends. This is why I want to share my story-I hope to help other students realize that they are not alone when facing challenges and that it is always possible to find ways to overcome difficulties. 1．What is the author’s main purpose in writing paragraph 1?

He gave up hours of holiday fun with his family to help 75 trapped strangers. High winds changed an airline on Dec.25, a flight intended for St. John’s, Newfoundland. And the passengers finally arrived at Deer Lake on the other side of the island province. Local resident Brian Snow was friends with one of the passengers. And he realized that due to the national holiday, all the restaurants and shops in town were closed. On top of that, the hotel where almost 80 people had been dropped off had no restaurant. Mr. Snow posted a call to action on social media: “Let’s show the true Christmas spirit.” Within an hour, the Facebook post was shared 60 times and the community had voluntarily organized a delightful meal in the hotel lobby. Residents brought the passengers sandwiches, their own turkey dinner leftovers, freshly baked bread, and, of course, lots of cookies and desserts. However, the kindness from the Deer Lake community didn’t end at the dinner table. Dave Power, a passenger who was flying with his wife, said, “When we finished eating, my wife and I got our bags and came out to the front of the hotel, only to find a long line of cars.” Thanks to them, each passenger came back to the airport smoothly. “It was truly a ‘Come from Away Christmas’,” said Dave’s brother Robert Power on Facebook. This selfless devotion reminds us of a quite analogous story that happened in 2001, when townspeople came together to welcome thousands of passengers on planes because of the Sept. 11 attacks in the US. The Tony Award-winning musical Come From Away got inspiration from the kindness of these people. It details the efforts of community members who took care of the thousands of travelers for several days. 1．According to the text, the passengers on the plane ______. A．came from the same community B．rushed into shops for holiday food C．were stuck at Deer Lake due to bad weather D．came to Deer Lake to celebrate Christmas 2．What can we learn about Mr. Snow? A．His post online received positive reactions quickly. B．He seldom spent Christmas Day with his family. C．He once worked in the local aircraft company. D．His friend came to Deer Lake to visit him. 3．What does the underlined word “analogous” in the last paragraph mean? A．strange. B．terrible. C．funny. D．similar. 4．What does the author want to express by mentioning the story happening in 2001? A．To praise the kindness from strangers. B．To honor the customs of the Deer Lake community. C．To show the importance of preparing for disasters. D．To stress the great influence of social media. 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．D 4．A 【导语】本文是篇记叙文。文章讲述了圣诞节期间，鹿湖社区的居民无私帮助飞机滞留旅客的善行。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段“High winds changed an airline on Dec.25, a flight intended for St. John’s, Newfoundland. And the passengers finally arrived at Deer Lake on the other side of the island province. (12月25日，大风改变了一架飞往纽芬兰圣约翰的航班。乘客们终于到达了岛省另一边的鹿湖。)”可知，飞机上的乘客因恶劣天气，被困在了鹿湖。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据第四段“Within an hour, the Facebook post was shared 60 times and the community had voluntarily organized a delightful meal in the hotel lobby. Residents brought the passengers sandwiches, their own turkey dinner leftovers, freshly baked bread, and, of course, lots of cookies and desserts. (在一个小时内，这条脸书帖子被分享了60次，社区自愿在酒店大堂组织了一顿愉快的晚餐。居民们给乘客们带来了三明治，他们自己的火鸡晚餐剩菜，新鲜出炉的面包，当然还有很多饼干和甜点。)”可知，Mr. Snow在网上发布的帖子很快就得到了人们的积极反应。故选A。 3．词句猜测题。根据最后一段“This selfless devotion reminds us of a quite analogous story that happened in 2001, when townspeople came together to welcome thousands of passengers on planes because of the Sept. 11 attacks in the US. (这种无私的奉献让我们想起了2001年发生的一个非常analogous故事，当时，由于美国9·11恐怖袭击，市民们聚集在一起迎接数千名飞机上的乘客。)”可知，911事件期间发生的故事也是关于当地居民帮助飞机滞留乘客的故事，与本文的故事是相似的，故analogous表示“相似的”。故选D。 4．推理判断题。根据最后一段“The Tony Award-winning musical Come From Away got inspiration from the kindness of these people. It details the efforts of community members who took care of the thousands of travelers for several days. (托尼奖获奖音乐剧《来自远方》的灵感来自于这些人的善良。它详细介绍了社区成员在几天内照顾数千名旅行者的努力。)”可推知，作者提到了2001发生的相似的故事，是为了赞扬这些陌生人善良的行为。故选A。 Passage 3 （24-25高一上·辽宁·期末） Once upon a time, there was a poor man and a rich man. The poor man’s son was named Ham, and the rich man’s son was named Jim. They had been in the same school together since childhood and became good friends. One day, the two youths began a discussion as to whether wealth or effort was more powerful. Jim said that wealth was most important, while Ham declared for effort. At last, Ham declared, “Let us put it to the test: Let us both go to some far country and try whether wealth or effort is more successful.” Jim agreed to this plan and they fixed a day for starting. Then they both went home and collected some money and started off early one morning. After a time, they came to a certain country where Ham suggested that they should look for employment. But Jim did not like the notion of becoming a servant and he said that he would live on the money which he had brought with him, which would last for a year or two. “You may do as you like,” answered Ham, “but for my part, I must look for work.” So he went to a village and found employment as a teacher in a school while his friend rented a house and started making various friends, eating and having fun all day. One year later, Ham earned enough money, built a beautiful house and also got married. However, Jim had already spent all his money, and his friends who indulged in wine and meat also left him. Hungry and sorrowful, he went to Ham and said, “My dear friend, regarding the question of ‘whether wealth or effort is more important’, I think I’ve already had the answer.” 1．What can we learn about the young men from the first two paragraphs? A．They often argued with each other. B．They all valued wealth and effort. C．Their relationship was not very good. D．They had been schoolmates since childhood. 2．Why did Ham suggest this test? A．To earn more wealth. B．To prove his opinion. C．To look for employment. D．To go to a country far away. 3．What does the underlined word “notion” in paragraph 3 mean? A．Process. B．Development. C．Idea. D．Dream. 4．What is the answer Jim has found? A．Efforts are the source of wealth. B．No failure, no success. C．A friend is easier lost than found. D．Education is the door to freedom. 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．C 4．A 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。Ham通过努力工作，最终过上了稳定幸福的生活，而Jim由于依赖财富，最终花光了所有的钱，陷入困境，两个年轻人的经历体现了努力的重要和财富的有限。 1．细节理解题。根据文章第一段的“They had been in the same school together since childhood and became good friends.(他们从小在同一所学校上学，成了好朋友。)”可知，他们从童年时期开始就是校友。故选D。 2．推理判断题。根据文章第二段的“One day, the two youths began a discussion as to whether wealth or effort was more powerful. Jim said that wealth was most important, while Ham declared for effort. At last, Ham declared, “Let us put it to the test: Let us both go to some far country and try whether wealth or effort is more successful.” Jim agreed to this plan and they fixed a day for starting.(一天，两个年轻人开始讨论财富和努力哪个更有力量。Jim说财富是最重要的，而Ham宣称努力是最重要的。最后，Ham宣布：“让我们来做个试验吧：让我们俩都去某个遥远的国家，看看财富和努力哪个更成功。”Jim同意了这个计划，他们确定了出发的日期。)”可知，Ham提出测试的目的是要证实自己的观点是正确的。故选B。 3．词句猜测题。根据第三段的“Then they both went home and collected some money and started off early one morning. After a time, they came to a certain country where Ham suggested that they should look for employment. But Jim did not like the notion of becoming a servant and he said that he would live on the money which he had brought with him, which would last for a year or two.(然后他们两个回家，收集了一些钱，一天早上就出发了。过了一段时间，他们来到了某个国家，Ham建议他们应该在那里找工作。但Jim不喜欢当仆人的……，他说他将靠他带来的钱生活，这笔钱将持续让他生活一两年。)”可知，Ham提出了找工作的想法，但是Jim不想成为一名仆人，即Jim不喜欢这个想法。由此可知，notion意为“想法”。故选C。 4．推理判断题。根据文章最后一段的“One year later, Ham earned enough money, built a beautiful house and also got married. However, Jim had already spent all his money, and his friends who indulged in wine and meat also left him. Hungry and sorrowful, he went to Ham and said, “My dear friend, regarding the question of ‘whether wealth or effort is more important’, I think I’ve already had the answer.”(一年后，Ham赚了足够的钱，盖了一栋漂亮的房子，还结婚了。然而，Jim已经花光了所有的钱，那些纵情于酒肉的朋友也离开了他。他又饿又伤心，走到Ham跟前说：“亲爱的朋友，关于‘财富更重要还是努力更重要’这个问题，我想我已经有了答案。”)”可知，Jim开始的时候不想工作，直至最后他花光了所有的钱后朋友也离开了他，他又饿又悲伤，而Ham通过努力挣了足够多的钱。由此推知，Jim最后终于意识到了努力才是财富的源泉。故选A。 主题03 人与自然 Passage 1 （24-25高一上·辽宁锦州·期末） In Florida, a senior high school located near the beach serves as a meeting point where students gather for a two-mile walk on a Sunday to neighboring high school to raise money to build a well in a Niger village. In many parts of Niger, access to clean water is a big issue. Rainwater collected during the rainy season is stored deep underground, sometimes as far down as 900 feet. However, bringing it to the surface can be quite challenging. It often requires specialized equipment. While shallower wells are less expensive, they still need labor and technology to function effectively. A single well can provide water for an entire village, making a big difference in their lives. In the weeks before the Water Walk event in 2024, students walked through their coastal town and asked donations (捐赠) from local businesses. They traveled much farther than the two miles they would cover during the actual event. “It was all worth it to make a positive impact on people in Africa,” Alex Johnson remarked as one of student organizers Standing on the boardwalk and looking out over the sand to the horizon (地平线) and beyond you can see a lifeline reaching from a few devoted kids to a similar group of kids in an African village. What once seemed like an unimaginable connection now feels unbelievably real. Students on both sides of the world walk under the same sun. On other days, they would have different places to go, but today, they walk for the same reason: to share the relationship of being one human family In another village in Niger, a well was completed. As the villagers eagerly worked the hand pump, the expectation grew. Within moments, a gentle stream of clean water began to flow, quickly turning into a powerful gush. In such a dry village, this was a wonder. Buckets filled up, and children played in the water, their tears of joy flowing as easily as the well water. 1．What can we infer about constructing wells in Niger? A．It’s expensive and ineffective. B．It’s simple and enjoyable. C．It’s challenging but affordable. D．It’s difficult but worthwhile. 2．Why is the connection mentioned in the fourth paragraph? A．To praise the participants of the event. B．To illustrate the difficulty of the event. C．To highlight the significance of the event. D．To share the relationship of the human family. 3．What is the main focus of the last paragraph? A．The excitement of building a well. B．The requirement for completing a well. C．The merry sight of drawing water from a well. D．The quality of water from the local village’s well. 4．What can be a suitable title for the text? A．Students’ Walk on the beach B．From the Beach to Niger C．Niger’s struggle for Clean Water D．Walking to a Neighboring school 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．C 4．B 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述佛罗里达州一所靠近海滩的高中生们走过他们的沿海城镇，为尼日尔的一个村庄筹集打井资金的故事。 1．推理判断题。根据第二段中“Rainwater collected during the rainy season is stored deep underground, sometimes as far down as 900 feet. However, bringing it to the surface can be quite challenging. It often requires specialized equipment. While shallower wells are less expensive, they still need labor and technology to function effectively. A single well can provide water for an entire village, making a big difference in their lives.(雨季收集的雨水被储存在地下深处，有时深达900英尺。然而，把它带到表面可能是相当具有挑战性的。它通常需要专门的设备。虽然较浅的井成本较低，但它们仍然需要劳动力和技术才能有效运行。一口井可以为整个村庄提供水，这对他们的生活产生了很大的影响)”可知，打井虽然具有挑战性，但是可以为整个村庄提供水。由此推知，在尼日尔打井很难但是很值得。故选D。 2．推理判断题。根据第四段中“What once seemed like an unimaginable connection now feels unbelievably real. Students on both sides of the world walk under the same sun. On other days, they would have different places to go, but today, they walk for the same reason: to share the relationship of being one human family.(曾经看起来难以想象的联系现在变得难以置信的真实。世界两岸的学生在同一个太阳下行走。在其他日子里，他们会有不同的地方要去，但今天，他们为了同一个原因而行走：分享作为一个人类大家庭的关系)”可推知，此处提到世界两岸学生之间的联系是为了突出学生们为尼日尔筹集资金这一事件的意义，他们原本不可能的联系因这一事件而变得真实。故选C。 3．主旨大意题。根据最后一段“In another village in Niger, a well was completed. As the villagers eagerly worked the hand pump, the expectation grew. Within moments, a gentle stream of clean water began to flow, quickly turning into a powerful gush. In such a dry village, this was a wonder. Buckets filled up, and children played in the water, their tears of joy flowing as easily as the well water.(在尼日尔的另一个村庄，一口井打好了。当村民们急切地使用手泵时，他们的期望越来越高。不一会儿，一股温和的清水开始流动，很快变成了一股强大的喷涌。在这样一个干旱的村庄里，这真是个奇迹。水桶装满了，孩子们在水里玩耍，他们喜悦的泪水像井水一样流淌)”可知，本段主要描述了打好井后村民从井里打水的快乐景象。故选C。 4．主旨大意题。根据全文内容，结合第一段“In Florida, a senior high school located near the beach serves as a meeting point where students gather for a two-mile walk on a Sunday to neighboring high school to raise money to build a well in a Niger village.(在佛罗里达州，一所靠近海滩的高中是学生们的聚会地点，学生们在周日聚集在一起，步行两英里到邻近的高中，为尼日尔的一个村庄打井筹集资金)”可知，文章主要讲述佛罗里达州一所靠近海滩的高中生们走过他们的沿海城镇，为尼日尔的一个村庄筹集打井资金的故事。由此可知，B项“从海滩到尼日尔”为最佳标题。故选B。 Passage 2 （24-25高一上·辽宁丹东·期末） Anna, a retired teacher, was walking her dogs when she found yellow marks stuck on some of the 99 oak trees in a lane close to her home. The marks indicated trees were bound to be felled (砍伐). Anna loved that ancient line of oaks. She felt upset when remembering the moment she realized the oaks would be cut down. “My family and I would picnic under them, climb them, have rope swings on them. The trees are beautiful and mean so much.” she says. The trees were to be cut down as part of the new high-speed railway works. She called the railway helpline and was told there was nothing that could be done. Anna had spent her career as a teacher telling children that “If something is wrong, you can’t stand by and let it happen. You have to speak up for people who can’t speak for themselves.” She thought, “Who is speaking for the trees?” So she began to save the trees with her daughter’s help. She started a petition (请愿书) which collected nearly 43,000 signatures. She also started a campaign, urging local people to sound their horns when driving down the road if they wanted the oaks to stay. “You could hear people honking all the way down the lane,” she says. “It was amazing.” Anna made contact with a nonprofit. “We discovered seven species of bats were using the trees as a commuting corridor,” she says. So the felling stopped. “There are 87 trees still standing because of the campaign,” says Anna proudly. “But 20 to 30 trees still remain under threat. We want a green crossing in the gaps between trees for the bats, and we’d like the place to become a conservation area.” For Anna, campaigning for the trees has been life-changing. “If you’d said that I’d be where I am now 16 months ago, I wouldn’t have believed you. I’m called ‘Bat Woman’ by my campaign colleagues now. For the trees and the bats - this is what I am and will be fighting for!” she says. 1．Why was Anna depressed when knowing the trees would be cut down? A．She needed to find a new place to walk her dog. B．Many of her sweet memories were related to them. C．The railway helpline didn’t give useful reply to her. D．The building of high-speed railway would bother her. 2．What inspired Anna to save the trees? A．The timely help from her daughter. B．The support from local people. C．Her educational belief as a teacher. D．Her eagerness for being famous. 3．What is Paragraph 4 mainly about? A．The bats Anna had saved. B．The importance of the oak trees. C．The danger the trees may face. D．The good results of Anna’s efforts. 4．What can we infer from Anna’s words? A．She likes the name “Bat Woman” very much. B．She has been what was expected 16 years ago. C．She will continue to protect the trees and the bats. D．She thinks the praise from colleagues is important. 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．D 4．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了退休教师Anna为保护家附近的橡树发起请愿和运动的故事。尽管这些树木因高铁工程面临被砍伐的威胁，Anna联合非营利组织发现蝙蝠利用树木作为迁徙通道，最终成功挽救大部分树木，并决心继续为保护自然生态而奋斗。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段“Anna loved that ancient line of oaks. She felt upset when remembering the moment she realized the oaks would be cut down. “My family and I would picnic under them, climb them, have rope swings on them. The trees are beautiful and mean so much.” she says. (安娜很喜欢那排古老的橡树。当她意识到这些橡树将被砍倒时，她感到很不安。“我和家人会在这些树下野餐、攀爬，在树上荡秋千。这些树很美，对我们意义非凡。”她说。）”可知，Anna的沮丧源于这些树承载了她与家人的美好回忆。故选B项。 2．细节理解题。根据第三段“Anna had spent her career as a teacher telling children that “If something is wrong, you can’t stand by and let it happen. You have to speak up for people who can’t speak for themselves.” She thought, “Who is speaking for the trees?” So she began to save the trees with her daughter’s help. (安娜在她的教师生涯中一直告诉孩子们：“如果事情不对，你不能袖手旁观。你必须为那些不能为自己发声的人说话。”她想：“谁来为这些树发声？”于是，她开始和女儿一起努力拯救这些树。)”可知，是她的教育理念促使她采取行动拯救树木。故选C项。 3．主旨大意题。根据第四段“Anna made contact with a nonprofit. “We discovered seven species of bats were using the trees as a commuting corridor,” she says. So the felling stopped. “There are 87 trees still standing because of the campaign,” says Anna proudly. “But 20 to 30 trees still remain under threat. We want a green crossing in the gaps between trees for the bats, and we’d like the place to become a conservation area.” (安娜与一家非营利组织取得了联系。“我们发现七种蝙蝠把这些树作为它们的通勤通道，”她说。因此，树木砍伐停止了。“由于这次活动，仍有87棵树屹立不倒，”安娜自豪地说。“但仍有20到30棵树面临威胁。我们希望在树间的空隙处为蝙蝠建造绿色通道，我们也希望这个地方能成为保护区。)”可知，第四段提Anna联系非营利组织后发现蝙蝠以树木为迁徙通道，砍伐因此停止，87棵树得以保留，并提到剩余树木的威胁和保护目标。可推理出全段重点讲的是Anna的努力取得的积极成果。故选D项。 4．推理判断题。根据最后一段Anna的话“For the trees and the bats - this is what I am and will be fighting for! (为这些树和蝙蝠而战，这就是我过去和未来的使命！)”可知Anna要为这些树和蝙蝠而战并认为这就是她过去和未来的使命，可推断，她将持续投入保护工作。故选C项。 主题01 人与自我 Passage 1 （24-25高一上·吉林·期末） As I sat on my sofa, I recalled the joy I had experienced back in my glory days, winning National Championships and representing the United States at the World Championships. I thought of all of the friends I had made in the sport. It had been a decade since I entered a competition. Strangely, tears began to roll down my cheeks. Then, for the first time in many years, I wept openly. I tried to calm myself and walked to the bathroom to wash my face. It was there that I took a good, long, hard look at myself in the mirror. I was no longer that marathon runner. I was a middle-aged man to sit behind the desk in my office for the day and had grown content in my life and appeared comfortable with the increase in the size of my waistline. When I took a serious look at myself, I knew it was time to change. I lacked discipline (自制力) and had no readily identifiable goals. Strange quiet came over me. I was going to transform my life. It was time to reinvent myself, to become all that I could imagine. I asked myself one more question, “What are you willing to do to make this dream a reality?” The answer was a very simple one, “Whatever it takes! ” The first few days, I was filled with enthusiasm and it was easy to stay on track. I prepared myself mentally for the difficult days. As the days went by, my newly discovered discipline developed into more discipline. I vowed (发誓) to remain true to my restricted diet of 1,200 calories per day. I was running for an hour every morning and lifting weights for another hour three or four days per week. Weight began to reduce. I lost about three pounds every week. This was feeling good. I was gaining momentum and strength as each day passed. There was no doubt in my mind that I would get down to my desired weight. 1．What can we learn about the author from paragraph 3? A．He used to be a lawyer. B．He was totally out of shape. C．He was no longer fit to work out. D．He had something wrong with his waist. 2．What was the author actually doing in the bathroom? A．He was reflecting upon himself. B．He was doing thorough cleaning. C．He was wiping tears off his face. D．He was dressing up in front of the mirror. 3．Which can replace the underlined word “momentum” in the last paragraph? A．weight B．motivation C．experience D．knowledge 4．How does the author mainly develop the text? A．By telling a funny story. B．By employing dialogues. C．By describing mental activities. D．By showing possible results. 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．B 4．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者减肥的心路历程。 1．细节理解题。根据文章第三段“I was no longer that marathon runner. I was a middle-aged man to sit behind the desk in my office for the day and had grown content in my life and appeared comfortable with the increase in the size of my waistline. (我不再是那个马拉松运动员了。我是一个坐在办公室桌子后面一天的中年男人，对我的生活越来越满意，对我腰围的增加也显得很舒服)”可知，作者的身材完全走样了。故选B。 2．推理判断题。根据文章第四段“When I took a serious look at myself, I knew it was time to change. I lacked discipline and had no readily identifiable goals. Strange quiet came over me. I was going to transform my life. It was time to reinvent myself, to become all that I could imagine. I asked myself one more question, “What are you willing to do to make this dream a reality? ” The answer was a very simple one, “Whatever it takes! ”(当我认真审视自己时，我知道是时候改变了。我缺乏自律，也没有明确的目标。奇怪的寂静笼罩着我。我要改变我的生活。是时候重塑自我，成为我所能想象的一切。我又问了自己一个问题：“为了实现这个梦想，你愿意做些什么？”答案很简单:“不惜一切代价!”)”可知，他在浴室里沉思。故选A。 3．词义猜测题。根据上句“This was feeling good (这感觉很好)”和划线处后“strength (力量)”可知，划线处和空后的strength并列，表示随着时间一天天过去，作者的动力和力量都在增强。故选B。 4．推理判断题。根据文章第四段“When I took a serious look at myself, I knew it was time to change. I lacked discipline and had no readily identifiable goals. Strange quiet came over me. I was going to transform my life. It was time to reinvent myself, to become all that I could imagine. I asked myself one more question, “What are you willing to do to make this dream a reality? ” The answer was a very simple one, “Whatever it takes! ”(当我认真审视自己时，我知道是时候改变了。我缺乏自律，也没有明确的目标。奇怪的寂静笼罩着我。我要改变我的生活。是时候重塑自我，成为我所能想象的一切。我又问了自己一个问题：“为了实现这个梦想，你愿意做些什么？”答案很简单:“不惜一切代价!”)”及最后一段“The first few days, I was filled with enthusiasm and it was easy to stay on track. (最初的几天，我充满了热情，很容易就能坚持下去)”可知，作者主要通过描写心理活动来展开文章。故选C。 Passage 2 （23-24高一上·辽宁·期末） I finally climbed into bed at 1: 20 in the morning. My friends had helped me celebrate my 31st birthday in the basement apartment, where I lived. Earlier in the day I had prepared for the unlikely event of a flood. We are about a third of a mile from the banks of the Ahr River. It had been raining buckets that week and the government had sent out a flood warning, though not for where I was. Still, I’d placed sandbags on the floor outside my garden door and put electronics on tables. “Silly bro!” My friends laughed at me for doing that, but I thought, why take a chance? As I drifted off to sleep, I was awakened by the sound of rushing water, as if I were lying beside a waterfall. When I got off the bed, I was shocked that cold water was rising fast. In darkness, I grabbed my cellphone and turned on the flashlight. When I stepped out of the bedroom, I saw water shooting through the gaps of the door. I began to panic. I knew I had to get out—fast! In bare feet, I started to make my way to the only escape: the door that led upstairs to the main floor. Finally I made it to the door and tried several times to-pull it open even just a little bit, but the rushing water shut it again. I looked around for anything I could use to keep it open. There in the corner was a coat rack (架子). I took it and, once again, opened the door, throwing the coat rack between the door and the frame (门框) to keep the door from shutting. Finally, I managed to make a gap just wide enough to squeeze (挤) through and make it into the hallway. I leaped on to the stairs and ran outside. I stood there in the darkness, wet through. What was once a lovely street was now a waterscape, with floating ruins instead of people and cars. The river had drowned (淹没) the neighborhood! 1．What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 2imply? A．Better safe than sorry. B．It never rains but it pours. C．A lost chance never returns. D．A friend in need is a friend indeed. 2．What was the author doing when water flooded in? A．Celebrating his birthday. B．Sleeping in the basement. C．Placing sandbags by the door. D．Playing with electronic devices. 3．Which of the following might be the most difficult for the author during the escape? A．Making his way to the door. B．Finding a coat rack. C．Keeping the door from shutting. D．Squeezing through the gap. 4．How did the author feel when standing on the street? A．Sad and shocked. B．Annoyed and anxious. C．Surprised and disappointed. D．Puzzled and awkward. 【答案】1．A 2．B 3．C 4．A 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者的一次脱险经历。由于连下大雨，使得河流决堤，爆发了洪水，殃及到作者所居住的区域。尽管作者提前做好了“抗洪”准备，但是，洪水的破坏力还是使得作者的家，以及该区域一片狼藉。幸运的是，作者逃生并幸存了下来。 1．词句猜测题。根据画线句以及前一句“Still, I’d placed sandbags on the floor outside my garden door and put electronics on tables. “Silly bro!” My friends laughed at me for doing that, but I thought, why take a chance? (尽管如此，我还是在花园门外的地板上放了沙袋，把电子设备放在桌子上。“傻弟弟！”我的朋友们嘲笑我那么做，但我想，为什么要冒这个险？)”可知，作者做好了迎接洪水的准备，还被朋友嘲笑，but表示转折，因此推断作者认为，这样做应该是更安全，防患于未然，因此画线句表示“安全总比后悔好”。故选A。 2．细节理解题。根据第三段的“As I drifted off to sleep, I was awakened by the sound of rushing water, as if I were lying beside a waterfall.(就在我迷迷糊糊睡着的时候，我被哗哗的水声惊醒了，仿佛我正躺在瀑布旁边。)”和第四段的“In bare feet, I started to make my way to the only escape: the door that led upstairs to the main floor. (光着脚，我开始向唯一的出口走去：通往楼上主楼的那扇门。)”可知，当洪水涌入的时候，作者正睡在地下室。故选B。 3．推理判断题。根据第四段的“Finally I made it to the door and tried several times to-pull it open even just a little bit, but the rushing water shut it again. I looked around for anything I could use to keep it open. There in the corner was a coat rack (架子). I took it and, once again, opened the door, throwing the coat rack between the door and the frame (门框) to keep the door from shutting. Finally, I managed to make a gap just wide enough to squeeze (挤) through and make it into the hallway.(最后，我终于走到门口，试了好几次，想把它拉开一点，但湍急的水流又把它关上了。我四处寻找能让它继续开着的东西。角落里有一个衣架。我拿过它，再一次打开门，把衣架扔在门和镜框之间，以防门关上。最后，我设法弄出了一个刚好能挤进去进入走廊的缺口。)”可知，在逃生过程中，对于作者来说最困难的是保持门不要关上。故选C。 4．推理判断题。根据最后一段的“What was once a lovely street was now a waterscape, with floating ruins instead of people and cars. The river had drowned (淹没) the neighborhood!(曾经令人愉快的街道现在变成了一片汪洋，到处都是漂浮的废墟，而不是人和车。洪水淹没了附近的人！)”可知，作者站在曾经令人愉快的大街上，洪水淹没了一切，因此推断作者此时的心情是悲哀和震惊的。故选A。 主题02 人与社会 Passage 1 （24-25高一上·辽宁·期末） It was rush hours in the morning. Heather Sant, 36, was driving her white 2012 Mazda on the road with her nine-year-old daughter and ten-year-old son in the back. Suddenly, a red pickup truck cut them off. Sant turned the wheel hard to the right, sending the Mazda sliding off the road and down an embankment (路堤) that ended in a drop-off after about 50 feet. If the car didn’t stop, it would take off and dive into the road some 20 feet below. Then a bit of luck: as the car raced toward the edge, its under carriage got stuck, stopping it suddenly. The people inside, however, were far from safe. The car had come to rest on top of a retaining wall (护墙), balancing on the edge of disaster. One sudden move by anyone inside could throw the car off balance and send it over. Jacob Rodriguez watched everything in terror from the nearby truck company where he works. As an experienced sailor, just like every time he met shipwreck, he whispered a sailing saying “Ship, shipmates, self”. Then immediately he and four other men ran to the car. They leaped onto the trunk (后备箱) to balance the weight as the terrified kids in the back seat watched. Meanwhile, Julio and his nephew March, were driving to their jobs at nearby Premier Auto motive. Julio jumped out of the car to help while March went to the shop, grabbed a strong rope, and returned to the car. He tied the Mazda to an F-350 truck that had been driven over by one of the other rescuers. With the car secured, the group carefully opened the back doors and helped the children out. But their leaving changed the cars’ weight, causing it to tip forward. The men, still on the trunk, begged Sant to jump into the back seat. She did and then inched out of the back door. Finally, the men carefully got off the trunk. Everyone was safe. “Another foot,” Rodriguez told USA Today, “and this would be a different story.” 1．What most probably caused the traffic accident? A．The Mazda was overloaded. B．The car was really speeding. C．The wheel failed to work. D．A pickup truck cut in suddenly. 2．Why did the men ask Sant to move to the back seat? A．To open the back door of the car. B．To fasten the rope to the truck. C．To keep the balance of the car. D．To help the men get off the trunk. 3．What does Rodriguez want to stress in the last paragraph? A．The timely help offered by rescuers. B．The excellent cooperation of the children. C．The dangerous position where the car stopped. D．The serious danger the rescuers faced. 4．Which of the following statements agree with the theme of the passage? A．One in trouble, all to help. B．Hold your horses. C．Well begun, half done. D．Don’t jump in with both feet. 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．C 4．A 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了Heather Sant驾车外出，遭遇小货车抢道，导致轿车于堤崖边，摇摇欲坠，危机四伏，幸亏周围及路过的陌生人慷慨施救，最终脱险的事情。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段中“Suddenly, a red pickup truck cut them off. Sant turned the wheel hard to the right, sending the Mazda sliding off the road and down an embankment (路堤) that ended in a drop-off after about 50 feet.(突然，一辆红色皮卡挡住了他们的去路。Sant使劲向右转方向盘，导致马自达滑出路面，滑下了路堤，在行驶了大约50英尺（约合10米）后，车就掉了下去)”可知，最有可能导致交通事故的原因是小卡车突然超车。故选D。 2．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“But their leaving changed the cars’ weight, causing it to tip forward. The men, still on the trunk, begged Sant to jump into the back seat. She did and then inched out of the back door. Finally, the men carefully got off the trunk. Everyone was safe.(但他们的离开改变了汽车的重量，导致汽车向前倾斜。那些人仍然坐在后备箱上，请求Sant跳上后座。她照做了，然后蹑手蹑脚地走出后门。最后，他们小心翼翼地下了车。每个人都很安全)”可知，男人们让Sant坐到后排是为了保持汽车的平衡。故选C。 3．推理判断题。根据最后一段““Another foot,” Rodriguez told USA Today, “and this would be a different story.”(Rodriguez在接受《今日美国》采访时表示：“再往前走一英尺，情况就不一样了。”)”可推知，Rodriguez在最后一段想强调汽车停下来的位置有多么危险。故选C。 4．推理判断题。根据文章描写了Heather Sant驾车外出，遭遇小货车抢道，致轿车于堤崖边，摇摇欲坠，危机四伏，幸亏周围及路过的陌生人慷慨施救，最终脱险的事情。由此可知，A选项“一方有难，八方支援”符合文章主题。故选A。 Passage 2 （24-25高一上·内蒙古·期末） Back in the day when I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do with my life, I was studying to become a firefighter. As a firefighter, you’re constantly thinking of other people and trying to help children. It’s the mindset, that is the most difficult part in this job! One night I was heading home and decided to stop off at a burrito (玉米饼) place. I was approached by a homeless man. He was very dirty and obviously hungry. He asked me for some change to buy a little food. As I was pulling some change out, I had an idea. I decided to see if he wanted to eat a real dinner, so I asked him to follow me back into the burrito joint to order. When he followed me in, the people behind the count er refused to let him in. After some arguing, so I had to encourage him to order whatever and however much he wanted. He ended up ordering enough to fill his stomach at least 3 times over! For someone who has been on the edges of society it seemed like he was very surprised at my kind behavior. But to me, it was what any “human being” should do or at least offer. I know we see these people every day asking for money but you had to be there to see the look in his face. To me it reminded me when I was young and my mom brought out a big birthday cake for me on my birthday, with all the candy, getting to experience a big meal. And I think he felt special, like he was getting attention. Again something that I could see he hadn’t experienced in a long time. I often think about this story, because to me it’s not just about helping someone out by feeding them, but giving him the respect of being a human being and allowing him to feel good about himself was very rewarding. 1．What’s the hardest part of being a firefighter according to the author? A．Learning to be a good firefighter. B．Deciding what to do in the future. C．Dealing with the brother’s relationship. D．Developing the mindset of helping others. 2．What do we know about the homeless man? A．He was grateful for the author’s kindness. B．He ordered whatever he wanted the moment he was in.

It’s the mindset, that is the most difficult part in this job! (作为一名消防员，你总是想着别人，并试图帮助孩子们。心态才是这份工作中最困难的部分！)”可知，作者认为作为消防员最难的地方是培养帮助他人的心态。故选D项。 2．细节理解题。根据第三段中“When he followed me in, the people behind the counter refused to let him in. (当他跟着我进去时，柜台后面的人拒绝让他进去。)”可知，起初，经营墨西哥卷饼店的人并不欢迎这个流浪汉。故选D项。 3．推理判断题。在第四段“I know we see these people every day asking for money but you had to be there to see the look in his face. To me it reminded me when I was young and my mom brought out a big birthday cake for me on my birthday, with all the candy, getting to experience a big meal. (我知道我们每天都能看到这些人要钱，但你必须亲眼看到他脸上的表情。对我来说，这让我想起了我小时候，我妈妈在我生日那天给我带来了一个大生日蛋糕，里面有很多糖果，体验了一顿大餐。)”中，作者先提到流浪汉得到帮助后吃惊的表情，接着讲述自己小时候收到一个大大的生日蛋糕时的惊喜。由此推知，作者提到生日蛋糕是为了说明他和流浪汉有相似的经历，表达出作者与流浪汉的共情。故选C项。 4．推理判断题。结合最后一段“I often think about this story, because to me it’s not just about helping someone out by feeding them, but giving him the respect of being a human being and allowing him to feel good about himself was very rewarding.(我经常想起这个故事，因为对我来说，这不仅仅是通过给他们吃的来帮助别人，而是给予他作为一个人的尊重，让他对自己感觉良好，这是非常有益的。)”通读全文可知，文章讲述作者在街上遇到一个无家可归的人，他不仅给了他食物，还让他感受到了尊重和关爱。由此可推知，作者是一个善良体贴的人。故选C项。 Passage 3 （23-24高一上·吉林·期末） Confucius (孔子), a famous teacher, was a politician and philosopher (哲 学 家 ) who lived in “Spring and Autumn Period”. During his lifetime, he planted the seeds for China’s complete change by teaching thousands of people. Today, he is thought to be one of the  world’s greatest teachers. Confucius grew up in a poor family. As he grew up, Confucius worked to help his mother earn money. When he wasn’t working, he would read. His favorite thing to do was to learn. His mother saw this and did her best to help him learn. One day, rich families noticed how smart he was and offered him jobs counting their money and keeping track of their crops. Confucius did this until he was 30 years old, but he always wanted to do more. He didn’t like the way rulers treated their people. He wanted to find a way to help people who were less fortunate than he was. Later, he founded the philosophy “Confucianism”. Confucianism states that by educating yourself, loving your family, and respecting tradition you could become a better person. Confucius believed a person could achieve these things by practicing self-discipline (自 律). For the rest of his life, Confucius traveled and taught the people of China about self-discipline and the importance of education. He even opened China’s first school that taught both the poor and the wealthy as equals. Although he became very famous among China’s lower classes, the rulers of China never accepted his teachings. Eventually, his philosophy of self-discipline helped China unite under one ruler and finally find peace. Today, Confucius is celebrated all over the world for his philosophy of education, equality, and peace over war, money, and injustice. 1．What can we know about Confucius from the passage? A．He was born in a politician family. B．He was once a farmer guiding people farming. C．He once acted as a math teacher. D．He devoted himself to social development. 2．Why did rich families give him jobs? A．He likes counting money. B．He enjoyed harvesting crops. C．He was very clever.

D．Hopeful. 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．C 4．A 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要介绍的是孔子的生平和他的哲学思想。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段的“During his lifetime, he planted the seeds for China’s complete change by teaching thousands of people.(在他的一生中，他通过教导成千上万的人，为中国的彻底改变播下了种子。)”可知，孔子致力于社会发展。故选D。 2．细节理解题。根据第二段的“One day, rich families noticed how smart he was and offered him jobs counting their money and keeping track of their crops.(有一天，富有的家庭注意到他是多么聪明，给他提供了数钱和跟踪他们的庄稼的工作。)”可知，富裕家庭给他工作是因为他非常聪明。故选C。 3．推理判断题。根据最后一段的“Eventually, his philosophy of self-discipline helped China unite under one ruler and finally find peace.(最终，他的自律哲学帮助中国统一在一个统治者之下，并最终找到了和平。)”可知，根据作者的观点，要维护和平，自律是很重要的，故选C。 4．推理判断题。根据最后一段的“Eventually, his philosophy of self-discipline helped China unite under one ruler and finally find peace. Today, Confucius is celebrated all over the world for his philosophy of education, equality, and peace over war, money, and injustice.(最终，他的自律哲学帮助中国统一在一个统治者之下，并最终找到了和平。今天，孔子因其教育、平等、和平而不是战争、金钱和不公正的哲学而闻名于世。)”可知，作者对儒学的态度是支持的，故选A。 Passage 4 （23-24高一上·内蒙古·期末） When the Uzbek girl Dilsora firstly met what seemed more like a Western-style dragon than a Chinese one, a beast to run away from her rather than a friend to be respected, she was at a loss about it. “Before college, I caught an interview on TV featuring an Uzbek student studying in China, she tweeted. However, I didn’t have the slightest idea that this language would be my future major in college. Then, when I started studying it at college, oh, jeez …pretty challenging! ” Nevertheless, as with a dragon story, there is a twist in the tail, and Dilsora’s despair gave way to nobler principles. “Give up? Nope! Instead, I pressed on with Chinese. ” she added with a giggle, “My mother also encouraged me all the way! ” Gradually, her feelings toward Chinese changed in the second year of college after Dilsora got a scholarship to study at Northeast Normal University in Changchun for a year, which proved a big turn on the pages of her fulfilling life. “The first time I came to China, amazingly engaging were the locals, by whom I was totally fascinated. In spite of myself, I fell in love with Chinese culture. ” Since then she has got master's and doctoral degrees, becoming a college teacher in Beijing, teaching Uzbek to Chinese students. In her spare time, being an all-nighter, she often loses herself in Chinese masterpieces. Two years later, on Instagram, she even set up a Chinese Reading Club to attract more to read. “Although I am ordinary, ” just as she, now the boss of the Reading Club, matter-of-factly put it, “since I’ve come this far, I am to come further. Harvesting the best outcome is my lasting dream. ” Those primary schoolers hearing the tale of Dilsora devoting so much to Chinese learning might be several times more likely to learn Chinese hard than those who didn’t, as Jimu news staff predicted. Besides, Dilsora has answered another calling: translating books by Chinese president into Uzbek. She said the leader’s foresight has impressed her greatly. 1．What does the underlined words “a twist in the tail” in paragraph 1 refer to? A．The turning point of a story. B．The turning movement of a dragon’s tail. C．The highest point of a story. D．The dancing movement of a dragon’s tail. 2．How did Dilsora feel when she started to study Chinese?

Nope! Instead, I pressed on with Chinese. ” she added with a giggle, “My mother also encouraged me all the way! ”(……Dilsora的绝望让位于更崇高的原则。“放弃？不！相反，我继续学习中文。”她笑着补充道，“我妈妈也一直鼓励我！”)”可知，Dilsora开始学习中文时感觉很挫败，但是她很坚定。故选A。 3．推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Since then she has got master's and doctoral degrees, becoming a college teacher in Beijing, teaching Uzbek to Chinese students. In her spare time, being an all-nighter, she often loses herself in Chinese masterpieces. Two years later, on Instagram, she even set up a Chinese Reading Club to attract more to read. (从那以后，她获得了硕士和博士学位，成为了北京的一名大学教师，教中国学生乌兹别克语。在业余时间，她夜以继日，经常沉浸在中国名著中。两年后，她甚至在Instagram上成立了一个中文读书俱乐部，以吸引更多人阅读。)”可知，Dilsora的成功故事告诉我们对那些愿意尝试的人来说，没有什么是困难的。故选C。 4．推理判断题。根据最后一段的最后一句“She said the leader’s foresight has impressed her greatly. (她说，这位领导人的远见卓识给她留下了深刻的印象。)”可推知，接下来本文可能会谈论中国领导人的作品。故选C。 / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
