moved to the Catskill mountains in New York after retirement, the journalist wanted to get away from traffic jams and wildfires and enjoy a quieter pace of life．Yet, one year into his stay, he became his town's newest volunteer firefighter． Driving around town and noticing recruitment (招聘) signs, he decided to dig further．“Speaking to fire chiefs, I realized they are in crisis since more than 60% of all firefighters in the US are volunteers, and rural areas can't get young people to join，” he says．“The chief was trying to recruit me, saying that it didn't matter about my age．” Miller realized that volunteering would be a good way to become a part of the community, so he signed up to train as a firefighter． “The training owned my life for three months, with night classes and Saturday sessions covering everything from operating a pump panel to throwing ladders，” he says．“We started every session with a ‘donning drill’， racing to put 18k of equipment on in under a minute．We sometimes had to do it four or five times and I was staggering (摇晃) by the end．It immediately improved my fitness．” Averaging 60 callouts a year, Miller has experienced his hair­raising moments．“I've been on car fires and wildfires, which are stubborn and difficult．Cars can also give off some gnarly fumes when they are melting，” he says．“The worst feeling is when you get paged, show up and you're the only one at the station．That happened once when I was early into my training and it was terrifying thinking I would have to lead the callout．” The greatest impact has come from helping people during some of the worst moments of their lives．“It's massively rewarding to put yourself out there for strangers and they are so grateful for us, too，” he says．Despite initially thinking he would stop volunteering at 70, Miller is now committed to carrying on．“One of the essential things in life is to feel that your efforts have meaning and that you are making a difference．I'll keep going as long as I'm able．It gets in your blood．” he says． [语篇解读]本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Craig Miller在退休之后从事消防志愿者的情况。 1．Why did Miller volunteer as a firefighter? A．He desired a sense of belonging． B．He found his retirement life boring． C．He was an adventurous journalist． D．He needed materials for his reports． √ 解析：选A。推理判断题。根据第二段最后一句“Miller realized that volunteering would be a good way to become a part of the community, so he signed up to train as a firefighter．”可推断出，Craig Miller参加消防志愿者活动是因为他渴望一种归属感。故选A。 2．What is Paragraph 3 mainly about? A．A fire rescue operation． B．The firefighting training． C．A recipe for building muscle． D．The challenges facing firefighters． √ 解析：选B。主旨大意题。 第三段详细描述了Miller接受消防员训练的过程，包括夜间的课程、周六的培训内容，以及如何穿戴消防装备等细节。由此可知，这段内容主要聚焦于消防员的培训过程。故选B。 3．What made Miller feel the most terrible? A．He got his car burnt severely in a fire． B．He had more callouts to cope with． C．He was unprepared for the emergency． D．He had to carry out the operation alone． √ 解析：选D。细节理解题。根据第四段中的“The worst feeling is when you get paged, show up and you're the only one at the station．That happened once when I was early into my training and it was terrifying thinking I would have to lead the callout．”可知，他感觉最糟糕的是接到火警后一个人去执行任务。故选D。 4．What motivates Miller to continue volunteering? A．He is always full of energy． B．He desires gratitude from others． C．He finds a purpose in his life． D．He can encounter many strangers． √ 解析：选C。推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“One of the essential things in life is to feel that your efforts have meaning and that you are making a difference．I'll keep going as long as I'm able．It gets in your blood．”可推断出，他继续消防志愿者工作是因为他找到了人生的目标。故选C。 Ⅱ．阅读七选五(每小题2．5共12．5分) (2025·湖南长沙明德中学高二上期末)What gives your life meaning?

Here's how to get started． Treat your depression Your depression empties your energy and damages your motivation．2( ) Therefore, the key here is taking action no matter what you start with: tackling the depression directly through taking medicines or consulting doctors to get you moving forward．What the action is matters less than taking action itself． Get out of your head into your emotion If you are heavily driven by what you should do, you need to start rewiring your brain to use your emotions as information．3( ) Once you notice them, do something concrete with them again, act．That is how you learn to trust your emotions and use them to guide you, and how you rewire your brain． Explore, experiment You can't figure out your sense of purpose by sitting on the couch and thinking it over．4( ) You also need to focus on doing different experiments with being bold, and taking acceptable risks． The path to discovering or reigniting your sense of purpose is not about making a new decision but focusing on the process that leads to that decision．5( ) A．Hence, your emotions are your source of passion, desire, and energy． B．It may be caused by physical or emotional limitations that take away joy． C．However, for many, that sense of purpose has been absent for long stretches． D．Without them, you don't make the changes that can pull you out of the depression． E．Instead, you need to explore, try things and see what sticks, what works, what doesn't． F．Start by focusing on those slightest feelings telling you what you want and don't want． G．Therefore, you need to clear away obstacles that keep you from acting and moving forward． [语篇解读]本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了如何让生活的使命感重回正轨的3种方式。 1．解析：选C。设空处承上启下。 上文提到这是一个关于拥有目标和起床理由并继续生活的重要且自然的实际问题。C项与上文形成对比，引出下文关于如何找回目标感的讨论。故选C。 2．解析：选D。设空处承接上文。上文指出抑郁会耗尽精力和损害动力，下文说关键是要采取行动。D 项中的 “them” 指代上文的 “action”，且强调了行动对于摆脱抑郁的重要性，与上下文衔接紧密。故选D。 3．解析：选F。根据本段小标题“Get out of your head into your emotion”可知，设空处内容与情感相关。F项中的 “feelings” 与情感相关，且 “notice them” 和下文的 “Once you notice them” 相呼应。故选F。 4．解析：选E。根据本段小标题“Explore, experiment”可知，本段主要讲述了在生活中去探索和实验的必要性，所以E项符合本段主题，其中explore为同词复现。故选E。 5．解析：选G。上文说发现或重燃目标感的路径不是做一个新决定，而是关注导致那个决定的过程。G项进一步说明在这个过程中要清除障碍，与上文逻辑连贯，总结了前面关于找到目标感的方法。故选G。 Ⅲ．完形填空(每小题1分，共15分) (2025·安徽蚌埠高二上检测)I was sitting with my study group when I received an email from my landlord．“Your apartment has lost 1 ．” This was my first spring in Montreal．I'm from 2 Saskatoon in winter—so no stranger to cold weather—but the damage an ice storm could 3 wasn't something I was used to． A dozen thoughts raced through my head．With no Wi­Fi or heat, how would I cook supper or finish my 4 for grad school?
