The Age of Majority
In most countries, [1]turning 18 marks① the start of adulthood②.But what does reaching this milestone③, the age of majority④, really mean? Will you be completely in charge of⑤ your own life and able to express yourself in new and exciting ways? What new responsibilities⑥ will this freedom⑦ bring? Here, three young people tell us [2]what turning 18 means, or meant, to them.
[1]动词ing短语作主语。

Bethany 16, Victoria, Australia
I can't wait to⑧ be 18.One reason is [3]that although I've been working ever since⑨ leaving school, I won't be voting⑩ in the next general election⑪.Why? Because I still won't be old enough.Surely⑫, [4]if you're old enough to earn a wage⑬ and pay taxes⑭, you should be allowed to have a say⑮ on [5]how the government spends them! I've also been taking driving lessons, and in fact I will be taking my driving test on the very⑯ day I turn 18.My mum worries about me being behind the wheel⑰.As an am

Lin Ning 19, Shanghai, China
I celebrated my 18th birthday just before I went to university㉔.I expected to feel instantly㉕ different, [8]as if I had closed the door on my childhood㉖ and stepped into a whole new adult world.But it wasn't like that.When I woke up the next day㉗, [9]there were still rules to obey㉘ and lessons to attend.In fact, the change has been more subtle㉙ and gradual㉚ than I imagined.Instead of being the selfish㉛ teenager [10]I used to be, I have begun to feel more aware of other people and to develop a stronger sense of social responsibility㉜.To give an example, I will be signing an organ donation㉝ agreement this time tomorrow.This was a big decision for me.Of course I asked my parents for their approval㉞ first.Turning 18 also changed the way [11]that society viewed㉟ me.I was really surprised when a bank contacted me with a credit card㊱ offer.Of course, I would like to have more freedom with money and no doubt I will be getting a credit card at some point, but I currently㊲ don't have a steady㊳ income, so getting a credit card might tempt㊴ me to spend more money than I have!
[8]as if引导方式状语从句,意为“好像,仿佛,似乎”,从句使用了虚拟语气。

[11]that引导定语从句,修饰先行词the way。
Morgan 20, Florida, the US
[12]People say that 18 marks a new chapter in our lives, and that we should become more independent㊵.I used to believe this, but the reality for me has been very different.I assumed㊶ I'd already have a wellpaid job and that I'd be moving into a rented apartment as soon as I turned 18, but how wrong I was! My librarian's㊷ salary means that I'll be living at home with my parents for a while longer.Because I contribute to the household㊸ bills and my commute㊹ to work is quite expensive, [13]I find it hard to save any money.I'll be starting a new job next month, however, so maybe things will get easier.I know I could get a bank loan to pay the deposit㊺ on my very own apartment, but I don't feel ready to make that kind of commitment㊻, and [14]I do like my mom's cooking.I guess some responsibilities are more about attitude than age.
[12]本句中含有两个that引导的并列的宾语从句。
[13]本句中it作形式宾语,动词不定式短语to save any money作真正的宾语。
[14]句中do用来强调谓语动词like。

成 年
在大多数国家,进入18岁便意味着成年。但是到达成年这一里程碑到底意味着什么呢?你将完全主宰自己的生活吗?你可以用新奇的、让人激动的方式来表达自己吗?这种自由又会带来什么新的责任呢?接下来,有三位年轻人会为我们讲述年满18岁对他们意味着什么,或是曾经意味着什么。
贝萨妮 16岁,澳大利亚 维多利亚州
我简直等不及想要到18岁了。其中一个原因是虽然我一毕业就工作了,但是我依然不能在下一届大选中投票。为什么?因为我依然不满18岁。当然,如果你已经有了一份收入并且交税了,那你应该对政府在支配税收方面有一定的话语权。我也一直在学习驾驶,考驾照那天我正好18岁。妈妈十分担心我开车,作为一名救护车司机,她目睹过太多涉及青少年的车祸,她认为考驾照的法定年龄应该推迟到21岁。但是我觉得自己已经足够成熟,知道开车也意味着要对自己和他人的生命负责。
林宁 19岁,中国 上海
上大学前我刚满18岁。我曾经期待马上会有不一样的感觉,就好像自己关闭了童年的大门,踏进一个全新的成人世界。但是事实并非如此。第二天我醒来时,仍然有需要遵守的规则,需要上课。事实上,这种变化比我想象的更微小、更平缓。相比自己之前那个自私的青少年角色,我已经开始更多地关注别人,并且去培养更强烈的社会责任感。比如说,明天这个时候我将会签署器官捐赠意向书。这对我来说是一个重大的决定。当然,我首先请求父母同意。满18岁后,社会对待我的方式也变了。当有家银行联系我说让我办理信用卡时,我非常惊讶。虽然我想在花钱方面更为自由,而且毫无疑问我将在未来的某个时间获得一张信用卡,但是我现在还没有稳定的收入,所以现在办理的话可能会让我透支!
摩根 20岁,美国 佛罗里达州
人们都说18岁意味着翻开人生的新篇章,我们应该变得更独立。我曾经也这样认为,但是事实并非如此。我以为我一到18岁就有了一份薪水不错的工作,能搬进自己租的公寓,我是多么异想天开呀!作为一个图书馆管理员,我的工资只够我继续长时间和父母住在一起。因为我要分担家庭账单,而且我的通勤费用很高,所以我发现攒钱非常困难。不过下个月我会开始一份新工作,也许情况能有所好转。我知道我可以通过贷款来支付购买自己公寓的订金,但我还无法向银行做出这种重大的承诺,而且我真的很喜欢吃妈妈做的饭。我觉得要想负起一些责任,更多的是关乎态度,而不是年龄。

(2025·浙江台州高二上期末)While enjoying the holiday with her family during the summer of 1955, Chava Willig Levy, who was only three and a half years old, suddenly developed a high fever.After rushing her to the hospital, her family received the tragic news that all families of that generation feared—their precious Chava had polio (小儿麻痹症).
Chava spent the next few months in hospital.Although she could breathe on her own after treatment, she was left paralyzed from the neck down.When she was nine, she was thrilled that she got the chance to go to school.However, it turned out that she was in a single room with a group of kids who all had mobility impairment.Some of those kids were also intellectually disabled.They weren't even allowed to eat lunch in the cafeteria.
Chava now has a communication consulting firm.She even wrote a memoir about her life, titled A Life Not with Standing.Chava became an advocate for disability rights and has dedicated her life to speaking out against discrimination of disabilities in the world.During the pandemic in 2020, Chava spent most of her time inside, starting a YouTube podcast (播客) focusing on one of her passions, music.
There has been positive feedback from listeners who have been touched and inspired by the songs discussed on the podcast.“Chava played a fabulous song called Mother by Tom Paxton.I was listening to it while driving,” said Barbara Schumer, a follower of Chava's podcast.“The lyrics were about adoption and I started sobbing in the car, since I have two children I adopted at birth.I wrote to her after that, and I think she's a remarkable person.”
Despite her disability, Chava said, “Having a disability is an important piece of who you are, and I'm not at all in favor of living my life as if the disability is not important.But it shouldn't be the thing that holds me back from becoming stronger.”

(2025·江苏扬州高二上期末)Standing on a stage, singing a folk song at a local Chinese festival, is an important memory for Kien Vuu.While he was too young to understand the words he was singing, he did understand how much he loved performing music.
Vuu did not grow up to become a professional singer.Instead, he became a noted longevity (长寿) doctor.Yet he never lost his love for singing.“In my work as a doctor, I've become convinced that having hobbies is an essential part of living and aging well,” he says.In addition to boosting his mood, singing helps him bond with his family and most importantly, feel connected to his Chinese cultural traditions.
A wrong view is that engaging in hobbies is a waste of time.However, Dr.Kaiser says nearly all hobbies can provide measurable positive health benefits.And the science backs this up.Multiple studies in 2021 found strong evidence that engaging in entertainment can improve our brain's networks to change and adapt.Hobbies take advantage of this flexibility and help your brain create new connections, helping you in areas beyond just that particular skill.This can be the reason why Kien Vuu, who has a passion for singing, does well in medicine.
Do hobbies make us happier? Absolutely, in many ways.People who made a conscious effort each day to spend time doing hobbies showed an average boost of 8% in wellbeing and a 10% drop in stress and anxiety, according to a 2023 study published in Journal of Personality.Similarly, folks who reported having at least one hobby were found to have fewer depressive symptoms and higher levels of happiness, health and life satisfaction, according to a 2023 study published in Nature Medicine.
Is there a right number of hobbies to have? The answer is individual.Dr.Kaiser points out while a hobby is what you can do in your spare time that brings you joy, not all hobbies are created equal when it comes to health and happiness.
[语篇解读]本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了兴趣爱好对人类身心健康有着积极的影响。
5.What is the biggest influence of loving music on Kien Vuu?
A.Promoting his professional growth.
B.Protecting him from physical diseases.
C.Ridding him of the negative emotions.
D.Feeling attached to his Chinese origin.
解析:选D。细节理解题。根据文章第一句话和第二段最后一句话的描述“除了提升他的情绪,唱歌还有助于他与家人建立联系,最重要的是,让他感受到与中国文化传统的联系”可知,爱好音乐对Vuu最大的影响是让他感受到和中国的联系。故选D。
6.What can the 2021 multiple studies help us understand?
A.Students who are good at dancing will come out first in dancing shows.
B.People who like playing Chinese chess can perform well in mathematics.
C.Parents who prefer writing often have children follow in their footsteps.
D.Friends who enjoy science fiction films always go to the cinema in groups.
解析:选B。推理判断题。根据第三段中的描述“2021年的多项研究发现,从事娱乐活动可以改善大脑的网络,使其更具适应性。爱好可以利用这种灵活性,帮助大脑建立新的联系,从而在该技能之外的领域也有所帮助。”可知,爱好可以对其他领域产生积极影响,比如喜欢下棋的人也可能在数学上表现得好。故选B。
7.How does the writer explain the findings in the last but one paragraph?
A.By giving explanations.
B.By raising questions.
C.By offering suggestions.
D.By making comparisons.
解析:选D。推理判断题。在倒数第二段中,作者通过比较不同研究的结果来解释爱好对幸福感的影响。这些比较帮助读者更好地理解爱好的益处。故选D。
8.What might be discussed after this passage?
A.Ways of choosing personal hobbies.
B.Benefits of loving performing music.
C.Shortcomings of previous research.
D.Approaches to doing further studies.
解析:选A。推理判断题。文章最后一段提到,选择爱好时需要考虑个人的兴趣和健康益处。因此,接下来可能会讨论如何根据个人需求选择合适的爱好。故选A。

Ⅰ.阅读理解(每小题2.5分,共20分)
A
(2025·河北廊坊高二上期末)For over four decades, there's been an invisible hand guiding the way we write, work, and communicate: Microsoft Word.
Upon its launch in 1983, this software was first known as MultiTool Word, before being renamed Microsoft Word for Dos.By 1994, Microsoft says it had occupied a 90% share of the wordprocessing market, securing its position as one of the most successful software products in history.
Word's spellchecker and grammar features have evolved into subtle judges of language.When typing on Word, the software can automatically correct your spelling, and make suggestions for what to write next.These suggestions aren't based on your personal writing style and tone—they're rulebased.Writers might unintentionally abandon their unique voices and expressions.For those trying to learn a language, or even get better at their native tongue, features such as autocorrect have been found to have a negative impact on student's writing abilities and spelling skills.
Based on a quick experiment, if Harper Lee had used Word to write To Kill a Mockingbird, the software would have suggested changing: “I never loved to read.One does not love breathing,” to “I never loved to read.Breathing is necessary.” Does this remove the poetry and depth of the original? The illustration is somewhat facetious, but it shows the effects using such tools can have.
As artificial intelligence is integrated into word processing, a potential overdependence on automation could discourage users from actively learning.Alternatively, AI may free people up to be even more creative.Its ability to learn and understand a person's unique writing style could lead to an era of highly personal, unlimited imagination.The ultimate impact depends on how individuals and communities choose to use this powerful tool.
[语篇解读]本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了Microsoft Word软件给我们带来的影响。
1.What is the main purpose of the passage?
A.To show the help from Microsoft.
B.To discuss the effects of Microsoft Word.
C.To introduce the evolution of Microsoft Word.
D.To explain the reason for popularity of Microsoft Word.
解析:选B。推理判断题。文章的核心内容是探讨Microsoft Word对写作、语言学习和用户习惯的影响。虽然文章也提到了Word的历史和功能,但主要目的是分析其对用户的影响,包括积极和消极两方面。故选B。
2.What does the underlined word “facetious” mean?
A.Serious. B.Fantastic.
C.Amazing. D.Funny.
解析:选D。词义猜测题。根据上句的描述可知,微软的修改建议“One does not love breathing”是比喻说法,用来强调“I never loved to read”的程度,而Word软件的建议将这种比喻改为了普通的陈述句,改变了原本的意思,显得有点滑稽。故画线词意思是“滑稽的”。故选D。
3.How does the author illustrate the effects of Microsoft Word?
A.By listing data and descriptions.
B.By giving examples and analysis.
C.By quoting writers' remarks and reasons.
D.By presenting changes and consequences.
解析:选B。推理判断题。文章通过具体的例子(如Harper Lee的例子)和对这些例子的分析来说明Microsoft Word的影响。作者没有仅仅依赖数据,也没有引用作家的评论,而是通过具体的例子来展示Word的功能和可能带来的问题。故选B。
4.What is the writer's attitude towards the integration of AI into Microsoft Word?
A.Positive. B.Negative.
C.Objective. D.Unconcerned.
解析:选C。推理判断题。根据最后一段前两句话的描述“随着人工智能被集成到文字处理中,对自动化的潜在过度依赖可能会阻碍用户主动学习。另一方面,人工智能可能会让人们变得更有创造力。”可推断出,作者认为将AI融入Microsoft Word中各有利弊,因此态度是客观的。故选C。

(2025·江苏苏州高二上期末)Will there be another Harry Potter? Between 1997 and 2007, it seemed like every child was reading J.K.Rowling's fantasy novels about a teenager's adventures.Kids worldwide spent long hours reading the thick hardcovers many times.But when digital reading began supplanting print reading, we may never again see another book series attract kids' attention as Harry Potter did.In addition, the switch to digital reading may be affecting kids' reading comprehension skills, a recently published study finds.
Scientists at the University of Valencia in Spain analyzed 26 previous studies, each exploring the effect of leisuretime digital reading on comprehension.They found that digital reading does improve comprehension skills, but the beneficial effect of deep reading is between six and seven times smaller than that of print reading, and it's smallest for children.
Great exposure to digital reading activities may prevent early readers from building firm reading basics in a critical period.Digital texts tend to be much shorter and have worse linguistic (语言学的) quality compared to printed works.Phones and computers also expose readers to distractions from social media, YouTube, and video games.Because youth tend to have poor impulse (冲动) control, they are more likely to be distracted than adults when engaging in digital reading.They also are less likely to have mastered vocabulary and grammar rules.
With paper, there is a literal laying on of hands, along with the visual geography of distinct pages.People often link their memory of what they've read to how far into the book it was or where it was on the page.The more kids are exposed to print reading, the better able they are to understand and recall what they are reading.Moreover, as young readers consume longer and more complex texts, their reading skills improve, further boosting their abilities.
It is therefore recommended that parents and teachers limit kids' time with digital content, or at least emphasize printed works or using basic ereaders with inkscreens.
[语篇解读]本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了电子阅读的兴起,及其对孩子们阅读的积极和消极的影响。
5.What does the underlined word “supplanting” in Paragraph 1 mean?
A.Changing. B.Replacing.
C.Influencing. D.Aiding.
解析:选B。词义猜测题。首段提到 “当数字阅读开始 supplanting 纸质阅读时,可能不会再有《哈利·波特》这样的系列书”,结合后文对数字阅读负面影响的讨论,“supplant” 应表示 “取代”。故选B。
6.What does the author focus on in the first two paragraphs?
A.The loss of deep reading.
B.The importance of reading.
C.The appeal of print reading.
D.The benefits of digital reading.
解析:选A。主旨大意题。第一段提到,随着数字阅读的兴起,可能再也无法看到像《哈利·波特》系列那样吸引孩子们的书籍。第二段进一步指出,数字阅读可能影响孩子们的阅读理解能力。因此,作者在前两段主要关注的是深度阅读的减少,即孩子们对纸质书籍的深度阅读体验正在被数字阅读所取代。故选A。
7.The study finds that print reading can enhance kids' reading abilities because of .
A.parents' reading skills
B.social Media's support
C.paper's physical properties
D.kids' consumption of easy texts
解析:选C。细节理解题。根据第四段开头的描述“在纸上,有一个字面上的手,以及不同页面的视觉地理。人们通常会把他们对所读内容的记忆与书的深度或在书页上的位置联系起来。”可知,研究发现,纸质阅读可以提高孩子的阅读能力,是因为纸质书的物理特性,这种特性有助于提高孩子的阅读能力。故选C。
8.What does the author imply in the last paragraph?
A.Basic ereaders can be promoted.
B.Print reading still has a place nowadays.
C.Teachers should limit kids' reading time.
D.Parents should emphasize digital reading.
解析:选B。推理判断题。最后一段建议家长和教师限制孩子们接触数字内容,强调使用纸质书籍或基本的电子墨水屏阅读器。这表明作者认为纸质阅读在当今仍然有其重要性,不应该被完全取代。故选B。
Ⅱ.阅读七选五(每小题2.5分,共12.5分)
(2025·湖南常德高二上期末)The media may play a significant role in our body image and how we feel about ourselves.We can consciously and unconsciously compare ourselves to the “perfect” images of people we see in magazines, commercials, films, and social media.1( )
In fact, selfconscious feelings toward our bodies are popular in society.As a common person, you can learn to improve your selfesteem and body image and start feeling good about who you are, the way you are.2( ) It also provides tools to promote a healthy, positive body image.
Our attention is often focused on the connection between the media and body image for women.3( ) Women in the media typically look polished and together.They may have perfect hair and makeup, amazing complexions (肤色), thin waistlines, and curves “in all the right places”.Likewise, men in the media are generally tall, muscular, and masculine with toned physiques.
How people look in the media creates an unrealistic image of what many people think they should look like.Only 5% of society resembles the images described in the media.And 59% of people find beauty filters used in social media troubling.Many studies have shown that the more time we spend viewing media, the higher the chance we'll experience low selfesteem.4( ) They might engage in drug use or drink abuse at last.
5( ) For example, in Ancient Greece, the “ideal” body type for women was “fullbodied”; during the Italian Renaissance, the “ideal” women had a rounded stomach and plenty of curves; and the American 1990s often featured women who were very thin with more remarkable features.
A.If you struggle with your body image, you aren't alone.
B.Society's account of the “ideal” body is continually shifting.
C.When you pay much attention to your image, you'll be out of place.
D.Many studies also indicated that girls tend to post their images online.
E.However, the relationship exists for people of all genders and identities.
F.This article explores the connection between body image and the social media.
G.One study found that boys who felt pressure about their weight were more likely to have depression.
[语篇解读]本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍媒体可能在我们的身体形象和我们对自己的感受中发挥重要作用。
1.解析:选A。设空处承上启下。根据上文可知,我们会有意无意地把自己与自己看到的“完美形象”作对比,并结合下文提到自我意识和身体形象问题在社会中很普遍。A项“如果你对自己的身体形象感到困扰,你并不孤单。”很好地承接了前文提到的问题,并引出后文关于如何改善的建议。故选A。
2.解析:选F。设空处引起下文。根据下文“It also provides tools to promote a healthy, positive body image.(它还提供了促进健康、积极的身体形象的工具。)”因此,F项“本文探讨了身体形象与社交媒体之间的联系。”此处it指代“This article”说明文章行文的两个目的。故选F。
3.解析:选E。设空处承上启下。前文提到媒体与女性身体形象之间的联系,而E选项“然而,这种关系存在于所有性别和身份的人群中。”扩展了讨论范围,引出下文对男性形象的描述,使文章内容更加全面。故选E。
4.解析:选G。设空处承接上文。这一段提到长时间接触媒体会导致低自尊,而G选项“一项研究发现,感到体重压力的男孩更容易抑郁。”进一步说明了媒体对身体形象的负面影响,尤其是对男孩的影响,与前文内容紧密相关。故选G。
5.解析:选B。设空处为段首句。最后一段通过举例说明不同时期对“理想”身体形象的不同定义,强调了社会对“理想”身体形象的标准是不断变化的。B项“社会对‘理想’身体的描述一直在变化。”很好地总结了这一段的内容。故选B。
Ⅲ.语法填空(每小题1.5分,共15分)
(2025·广东深圳高二上期末)I have been devoting 1 (I) to working as a journalist since I graduated from college.We live in a new age of storytelling with many new multimedia tools.Many young people rely 2 them, but they don't even realize it's new.This became clear to me during the Spring Festival holiday when I was with my 2yearold grandson.Before he came, I 3 (buy) a children's book with simple words and colorful pictures.It contained ten instructive stories and was perfect for his age 4 (objective).
One afternoon, as I read the book to him, he poked the page with his finger.When I turned the page, he poked it even harder.I felt 5 (confuse) and wondered about his real 6 (motivate).Then I realized he was used to tablets, which his father, 7 engineer and enthusiastic community volunteer, often used to entertain him with interactive pictures.I may be old, but I'm not hopeless with digital technology, 8 edit videos, produce audio, use mobile payment, and even build websites.There's a clear difference between the old and the young in the digital age.Despite 9 (spend) little time in front of a camera, I was asked by China Daily last week to share a personal story 10 (intend) for a video project on the integration of Beijing, Tianjin, and Hebei.It was a memorable experience.
[语篇解读]本文是夹叙夹议文,文章通过作者与孙子的互动,探讨了不同代际对新媒体的认知和接受度。

2.解析:on/upon。考查介词。许多年轻人依赖它们,但他们都意识不到这是新的。rely on/upon为固定搭配,意为“依赖”。故填on/upon。
3.解析:had bought。考查动词时态。在他来之前,我买了一本儿童书。根据时间状语before可知,买书的动作早于孙子来的动作,应使用过去完成时。故填had bought。

The Little Prince
Once when I was six years old I saw a magnificent① picture in a book, [1]called True Stories from Nature, about the primeval② forest.It was a picture of a boa constrictor③ in the act of④ swallowing⑤ an animal.Here is a copy of the drawing.
In the book it said:“Boa constrictors swallow their prey⑥ whole, without chewing⑦ it.After that they are not able to move, and they sleep through the six months [2]that they need for digestion⑧.”
I pondered⑨ deeply, then, over the adventures of the jungle⑩.And after some work with a colored pencil I succeeded in making my first drawing.My Drawing Number One.It looked like this:
I showed my masterpiece⑪ to the grownups⑫, and asked them [3]whether the drawing frightened⑬ them.
[1]过去分词短语作后置定语,修饰a book。
[2]that引导定语从句,修饰先行词the six months,that在从句中作宾语。
[3]whether引导宾语从句,作ask的直接宾语。
But they answered:“Frighten? Why should anyone be frightened by a hat?”
My drawing was not a picture of a hat.It was a picture of a boa constrictor [4]digesting⑭ an elephant.But [5]since the grownups were not able to understand it, I made another drawing:I drew the inside of the boa constrictor, [6]so that the grownups could see it clearly.[7]They always need to have things explained.My Drawing Number Two looked like this:
[4]动词ing短语作后置定语,修饰a boa constrictor。
[5]since引导原因状语从句。
[6]so that引导目的状语从句。
[7]本句中have things explained为“have+宾语+宾语补足语”结构,其中过去分词explained作宾语补足语。
The grownups' response, this time, was to advise me to lay aside⑮ my drawings of boa constrictors, whether from the inside or the outside, and devote myself instead to⑯ geography, history, arithmetic⑰ and grammar.[8]That is why, at the age of six, I gave up what might have been a magnificent career as a painter.I had been disheartened⑱ by the failure of my Drawing Number One and my Drawing Number Two.Grownups never understand anything by themselves⑲, and [9]it is tiresome⑳ for children to be always and forever explaining things to them.
[8]That is why...意为“那就是为什么……”,why引导表语从句;what引导宾语从句。
[9]本句中it作形式主语,动词不定式短语to be always and forever explaining things to them作真正的主语。
So then I chose another profession㉑, and learned to pilot㉒ airplanes.I have flown a little over all parts of the world; and it is true that geography has been very useful to me.At a glance㉓ I can distinguish㉔ China from Arizona.If one gets lost in the night, such knowledge is valuable.
In the course of this life, I have had a great many encounters㉕ with a great many people [10]who have been concerned with㉖ matters of consequence㉗.I have lived a great deal among grownups.I have seen them intimately㉘, close at hand㉙.And that hasn't much improved my opinion of them.
[11]Whenever I met one of them who seemed to me at all clearsighted, I tried the experiment of showing him my Drawing Number One, which I have always kept. I would try to find out, so, if this was a person of true understanding.But, [12]whoever it was, he, or she, would always say:
“That is a hat.”
[10]who引导定语从句,修饰先行词a great many people。
[11]本句为主从复合句。其中Whenever引导让步状语从句;who引导定语从句,修饰代词them;which引导非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词Drawing Number One。
[12]whoever引导让步状语从句。
Then I would never talk to that person about boa constrictors, or primeval forests, or stars.I would bring myself down to his level.I would talk to him about bridge, and golf㉚, and politics㉛, and neckties㉜.And the grownup would be greatly pleased to㉝ have met such a sensible㉞ man.

小王子
我六岁的时候在一本书里看到了一张非常震撼的图。书的名字是《大自然的真实故事》,讲的是原始森林。那张图片上有一条蟒蛇正在吞掉一只动物。这是那张图的摹本:
书上写着:“蟒蛇把猎物整个吞下,完全不咀嚼。在这之后,它们就动不了了,它们在六个月的睡眠中消化食物。”
那个时候,我深深地思考着原始丛林里的奇遇。我用一支彩色铅笔,成功画出了我的第一幅画作。我的“一号画作”是这样的:
我把我的杰作给大人看,问他们有没有被我的画吓到。
但他们回答说:“吓到?为什么有人会被一顶帽子吓到?”
我画的不是帽子,而是一条正在消化一头大象的蟒蛇。但由于大人们没有看懂,我又画了一幅:我画出了蟒蛇身体的内部,这样大人就能看清楚了。所有事情都非要你跟他们解释清楚他们才能懂。我的“二号画作”是这样的:
这次,大人的回答是建议我把不管是蟒蛇内部还是外部的画都放到一边,然后转而专心学习地理、历史、算术和语法。那就是为什么在我六岁的时候,我放弃了可能会十分辉煌的画家职业道路。“一号画作”和“二号画作”的失败使我心灰意冷。大人从来没法自己弄懂任何事情,小孩永远要给他们解释是很辛苦的。
所以后来我选了另一个职业,我开始学习驾驶飞机。世界上每个地方我差不多都去过;地理对我确实很有用。我一眼就能分辨中国和亚利桑那州。如果晚上迷路了,这样的知识很有价值。
在生命历程中,我多次遇到过很多关心大事的人。我在大人之中生活了很久。我密切地观察过他们,近在咫尺地看过。然而我对他们的看法还是没有改观。
每一次我遇到一个看上去头脑完全清楚的大人,我都会给他看我一直带着的“一号画作”,想看看这个人是不是能真正地理解。但是,不论这个人是谁,他(她)总是会说:
“那是顶帽子。”
然后我就不再跟那个人聊任何有关蟒蛇、原始森林或是星星的事情了。我就会把自己降低到他的层次,跟他聊桥梁、高尔夫、政治、领带。而这个大人就会很高兴能遇到这样一个明智的人。

Ⅰ.阅读理解(每小题2.5分,共10分)
Caring 17yearold, Lauren Schroeder was inspired to help bring healthy food to needy families in her community.Volunteering at a food shelter when she was just 14, and tasked with helping fill boxes for households in need with packaged food, this Iowa teen felt that something was missing from the donated items: fresh vegetables.
This kindhearted teen then told her parents about her desire to start a garden on part of their family farm in Dixon, Iowa, in order to supply local families in need with fresh produce.
The work involved in realizing Lauren's plan was not a walk in the park.While proud of her daughter's idea and eager to support her project, Katie Schroeder, her mother, admitted to some concern about the workload, “How much work is this going to be?”
This was one determined young changemaker, however! Lauren researched plants online, checking which species needed more shade, how much water was required, and the best times to harvest each crop.More importantly, Lauren didn't shy away from hard work.During Iowa's hot and dry summers, she had to water her crops by hand for around two to three hours daily.She also checked daily for weeds and bent down to pick her green bean crop, the most challenging vegetable to harvest in her opinion.
With help from her family, she planted half an acre (英亩) of land, with 15 varieties of vegetables in 2022, harvesting her first crops, totaling 40 pounds.The eight initial beneficiaries included food banks, a nursing home, and a soup kitchen.In the past two years, this admirable high school junior has donated more than 7,000 pounds of homegrown produce, with an estimated value of $15,000.
Explaining her motivation to local media, Lauren says, “I wanted to have something that would impact people.I want to impact community members.Many people help you out, but it makes more difference when you help others out.That's what makes me happiest.”

Florence Nightingale(1820-1910)

Marie Curie(1867-1934)
One of the most famous scientists of all time comes in the form of Marie Curie.Together with her fellow scientist and husband Pierre, she made amazing work on their discoveries.In 1903, they received a Nobel Prize.She won another Nobel Prize in 1911, the first woman to do so.The Curies were the pair who made discoveries on radioactivity, which paved the way for the creation of Xrays.
Mother Teresa(1910-1997)
In September 2016, Mother Teresa was announced to be named as a Saint, which she deserves after her devotion to helping people in poverty.In 1929, she traveled to India and dedicated her whole life to helping poor people, especially in the Indian city of Kolkata.She received the Nobel Prize in 1979 and canceled the big dinner celebration.She then suggested giving all of the money to the poor people in Kolkata.

(2025·安徽蚌埠高二上期末)We were standing at the top of a church tower.I saw twisting streets leading to the square.“See, my dear,” Father said gently.“There is more than one way to the square.”
Father's words always guided me.Dreaming of becoming a fashion designer, I came to Paris, but without luck.Then one day I met a friend wearing a beautiful sweater.“What an interesting stitch!” I cried.“It was done by Mrs.Vidian,” my friend explained.“She learned the stitch in Armenia, her native country.” Suddenly I had a daring idea.Why not design, make and sell my own clothes?
I drew a butterfly pattern and asked Mrs.Vidian to knit it into a sweater.It proved a success.A New York store wanted 40 sweaters to be ready in two weeks.I accepted the order.My happiness disappeared, however, when Mrs.Vidian told me it took her almost a week to knit one sweater.
I was crushed.Then I remembered father's words.There must be other Armenian women in Paris who mastered the special stitch.Then I searched for any Armenians living in Paris.At last I tracked down several.Two weeks later, the first shipment was on its way to the United States!
From that day on orders poured in.Then came another test.As I was busy getting ready to show my winter fashions, the sewing girls were called out on strike.Where was the way out this time? I wondered and worried.Then it dawned on me.
I worked hurriedly.And right on time, my show took place.Some coats had no sleeves; some were only patterns made of heavy cotton cloth, but on these I attached material to show what colors and textures the clothes would have when they were finished.What a show! Once again father's words helped me.

(2025·浙江金华高二上期末)Imagine a potter (陶工), sitting quietly on a small chair, holding soft clay (黏土) in his hands, sculpting it as he spins the pottery wheel.The clay's fate is completely in the potter's hands.A skilled potter would turn it into a beautiful container but the same clay, when handed to a green hand, may be ruined.
Just as the potter shapes clay into containers, our lives are shaped by the hands of our surroundings—the people we meet, the places we go, each conversation and every experience shape us into who we are.
Jim Rohn once said, “You are the average of the top 5 people you spend your most time with.” Now think about the company you keep—the ones who share your joys, wipe tears away and share your dreams.Every part of you is nothing but their average.
Back in middle school, most of my classmates didn't quite match my level of intellect (智力).More often than not, I stood out from them; although it felt really satisfying, it somehow lacked the challenge I desired.It wasn't until I started high school that I found what I was searching for.
High school did feel frightening at first.I found myself surrounded by brighter, wiser and prettier faces than I ever imagined.I felt inadequate compared to them, but it was in that discomfort that I found growth.
To grow, you got to be with people who stand out in areas where you fall short, those who inspire you to learn and improve.Just as tough competition pushes athletes to stand out, great people bring out the best in you.So, find your people, people who'll inspire and uplift you, who have qualities you want.They wouldn't simply hand you success but force you to lift yourself higher and higher.
But if negativity surrounds you, don't expect positive changes in your life.If you're always with people who see nothing but reasons why things can't be done, then that will also become your reality.
[语篇解读]本文是一篇议论文。本文通过对陶工和黏土的比喻,讲述了环境对我们成长的塑造作用,强调要与激励我们进步的人相处,从而实现自我提升。

Here's why: you don't have all the facts, but believe that you do.So you may stand your ground during heated debates, according to a new study.“Most people on average do this,” said the study coauthor Angus Fletcher, a professor at Ohio State University.
