Ⅰ.阅读理解 A (2025·扬州高一检测)I was in my early 30s，seeking a creative outlet(出路) unrelated to boring housework and raising little kids.At 65，George had recently retired and was seeking a rewarding hobby for his golden years.For both of us，painting was “it” and we met at a local painting class.Thus began a friendship that was to last for 25 years—until the day he died. George took to painting with an awe­inspiring (令人惊叹的)level of passion and commitment，even changing the spare bedroom of his home into a studio.How I envied him，as in my own home，I had neither the space nor the funds for such a luxury.His painting equipment was comprehensive.George housed many of these items in a tool box—a red metal tool box.For about six years，George and I studied together through various units until the completion of the course. Fast­forward some years and George was now about 80 years old.One day，he rang and told me that he was giving up painting and giving away all his “stuff”．“I can't paint，Bev.I don't know why I ever thought I could，” he declared.Actually，he was mistaken about his painting ability because he had turned out some unique and wonderful works.However，George had decided he was through with painting，and no amount of talking could persuade him otherwise.And so that was why George left all his painting equipment to me.“You have the best talent and are most likely to use it，” he said.After considerable persuasion，I accepted this precious gift on condition that he could get it back at any time.He never did，of course. I still use much of his equipment today.As I paint，I often remember George，his big personality，generous spirit and unfailing encouragement. The most treasured item is the red tool box，still in good shape.The original shop sticker is till firmly in place although the price has long since worn off.But that's all right because to my mind，some things，like friendship，are beyond price. [语篇解读]　记叙文。作者在绘画班上认识了退休来学画画的乔治，他们成了忘年交。乔治把自己一整套心爱的绘画工具送给作者。如今，每当作者看到那个装工具的红色箱子就会想起乔治。 1．What does the underlined word “it” refer to? A．A desire to create. B．A hobby to kill time. C．An escape from chores. D．A chance to make fortune. 解析　A　代词指代题。根据第一段前三句可知，“当时我30岁出头，正在寻找一个与无聊的家务和抚养小孩无关的创意出路。65岁的乔治刚刚退休，正在寻找一种有价值的爱好来度过他的黄金岁月。对我们俩来说，绘画就是‘它’，我们是在当地的一个绘画课上认识的。”所以it指代上文“创意出路”，即“创作的欲望”。故选A。 2．What can we infer from paragraph 3? A．George once created some fine paintings. B．George didn't like his painting equipment. C．George always wanted to give up painting. D．George misunderstood the author's painting ability. 解析　A　推理判断题。根据第三段中“...he was mistaken about his painting ability because he had turned out some unique and wonderful works.”可知，他的绘画能力被误解了，因为他曾经创作了一些独特而精彩的作品。由此可推知，乔治曾经创作了一些很好的画作。故选A。 3．Why did George call the author? A．To admit his own failure. B．To present his painting tools. C．To ask the author a favor. D．To make an explanation. 解析　B　推理判断题。根据第三段内容可知，乔治已经决定不再画画了，再说多少话也劝不了他。这就是为什么乔治把他所有的绘画设备都留给了作者。由此推知，乔治给作者打电话是为了把他的绘画工具赠送给作者。故选B。 4．What is the best title of this passage? A．A Lesson from My Old Friend B．Inspiration for Art from My Partner C．Nice George：An Artist with Great Passion D．A Red Tool Box：A Bond Between Two Friends 解析　D　标题归纳题。通读全文内容可知，作者在绘画班认识了退休来学画画的乔治，他们成了忘年交。乔治把自己一整套心爱的绘画工具送给作者，如今每当作者作画都会想起乔治。再结合最后一段可知，“最珍贵的物品是红色的工具箱，仍然完好无损。原来的商店贴纸仍然牢牢地贴在那里，尽管价格早已磨损。但那没关系，因为在我看来，有些东西是无价的，比如友谊”。 由此推知，“红色工具箱：两个朋友之间的纽带”可作为本文的最佳标题。故选D。 B Virtue，by definition，is the moral excellence of a person.Morally excellent people have a character made up of virtues valued as good.They are honest，respectful，courageous，forgiving and kind，for example.They do the right thing，and don't bend to impulses，urges or desires，but act according to values and principles.Some might say good qualities are inborn.Actually，virtues need to be cultivated.With the habit of being virtuous，we can take control of our lives and move them in the direction of greater happiness and fulfillment. Virtues are universal and recognized by all cultures as basic qualities of well­being.However，practicing virtues is not easy.So often we know that it takes perseverance to reach our goals，but we still never get there.We know that if we forgive，we'll be less angry.We know it takes courage to accomplish great things.So why then，if we know what to do，are we still stuck? Because we have not yet consciously applied a virtue to a given situation so as to change its outcome such as in these examples：kindness towards someone who is having a bad day can make him or her smile and build rapport；trust in a relationship creates valuable，meaningful relationships; gratitude in a job loss can shift our focus from feeling low to how we can have a more fulfilling，new career; service to others can change lives，better neighborhoods and create stronger nations. We know we are becoming more virtuous people，not only because of the above results but also because of the way other people respond to us.Our friends，family，co­workers，and neighbors will trust and rely on us.They will come to us for guidance and help.They will want to be around us because we inspire them to be better people.Practicing virtues allows us to develop our potential，and live a more purposeful and better life. 5．What can we know about virtuous people from the first paragraph? A．They are born with virtue. B．They never make a mistake. C．They have a habit of doing good. D．They act on the principle of profit. 6．What is the second paragraph mainly about? A．It's hard to practice virtues. B．It's a virtue to forgive others. C．It takes courage to achieve goals. D．Trust is necessary in a relationship. 7．What does the underlined word “rapport” mean in the third paragraph? A．A good greeting. B．A great exchange. C．A good goodbye. D．A close relationship. 8．What is the author's purpose in the last paragraph? A．To encourage readers to be more virtuous. B．To encourage readers to live a purposeful life. C．To encourage readers to offer others guidance. D．To encourage readers to develop others' potential. [语篇解读]　议论文。文章主要论述了践行美德能让我们开发自己的潜能，过上更美好的生活。 5．解析　C　推理判断题。根据第一段最后一句“With the habit of being virtuous...greater happiness and fulfillment.”可推断，具有美德的人有行善的习惯。故选C。 6．解析　A　主旨大意题。第二段中的“However，practicing virtues is not easy.”指出践行美德并不容易，接着列举了几个例子来证明这一观点。由此可知，本段主要讲的是“践行美德并非易事”。故选A。 7．解析　D　词义猜测题。根据画线词前面的“kindness towards someone...can make him or her smile and build”可知，对那个正度过糟糕的一天的人施以善意可以让他或她微笑，连词and表示顺承关系，由此可推测此处指双方建立“融洽的关系”，画线词义为“融洽关系”，与D项意思相近。故选D。 8．解析　A　推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句“Practicing virtues allows us to develop our potential，and live a more purposeful and better life.”可推断，作者的目的是鼓励人们践行美德。故选A。 Ⅱ.七选五 Expressing gratitude in your daily life sometimes is challenging and annoying. 1 Christina Costa，a psychologist who has studied the positive effects of gratitude on the brain，tells us how to be better at showing gratitude. Start a gratitude journal.Make it a habit to write down the things that you're thankful for.Writing in the morning is a nice choice because that can set your day up best.You can do it on your phone or by hand. 2 Write a letter.Think of someone in your life who you have not had the chance to thank.Why are you grateful to those persons? 3 Then send them a letter，an email，or even better，deliver the letter in person and read it to them. If you're having trouble finding someone to thank，think small.The smaller you start，the more you'll start seeing things you're grateful for.Think of the bus driver picking you up. 4 Then he is indeed a person that you should be grateful to. 5 Look around you，and take notice of everything that makes up your environment：the sky，the cool breeze.The act of simply noticing things is a great way to make the strength of all of the unique connections in your life clear. A．Notice the world around you. B．Gratitude is a precious virtue. C．Think of a specific moment when they helped you. D．Maybe he's really nice or waits for you for a minute. E．Do you still remember the moment when he helped you? F．Whichever way you choose，make it as easy as possible. G．But experts say that it doesn't have to be that complicated. [语篇解读]　说明文。文章主要讲的是如何更好地表达感激之情。 1．解析　G　设空处与上下文构成的语义关系为：在日常生活中表达感激有时很有挑战性，也很烦人。→ 1 →心理学家Christina Costa研究了感激对大脑的积极影响，她告诉我们如何更好地表达感激之情。G项“但专家表示，事情没必要那么复杂。”承上启下，符合语境。故选G。 2．解析　F　设空处前一句提到“你可以在手机上做这件事或者用手写。”F项“无论你选择哪种方式，都要让它尽可能简单。”承接上文，符合语境，且F项中提到的方式就是设空处前一句中提到的“do it on your phone or by hand”。故选F。 3．解析　C　设空处后一句提到“然后给他们寄一封信，一封电子邮件，或者更好的是，亲自把信交给他们并读给他们听。”C项“想起一个他们帮助你的特定时刻。”引起下文，符合语境。故选C。 4．解析　D　设空处与上下文构成的语义关系为：想想接你的公交车司机。→ 4 →那么他确实是你应该感谢的人。D项“也许他真的很好，或者等了你一会儿。”承上启下，符合语境。故选D。 5．解析　A　根据文章的结构可知设空处是本段的主旨句。根据设空处后面的关键信息“Look around you，and take notice of everything that makes up your environment”“The act of simply noticing things”可知，本段主要讲的是注意你周围的世界。故选A。 Ⅲ.完形填空 (2024·新课标Ⅰ卷)I've been motivated—and demotivated—by other folks' achievements all my life. When I was a teenager，a neighborhood friend 1 a marathon race.Feeling motivated，I started running 2 ，but then two things happened.First，a girl I met one day told me she was 3 for a “super”，referring to a 52.4­mile double marathon.Then，the next day I went on my longest run—15 miles.To be honest，I 4 it！Between the girl making my 5 seem small and the pure boredom of jogging，I decided that the only 6 I'd ever run again is if a big dog was running after me! So I 7 cycling.I got a good bike and rode a lot.I 8 of entering cycle races until I flew to San Diego to visit my sister.While she was at work one day，I 9 her bike and went for a ride.The 10 ：The roads there went through large valleys where I'd be riding uphill for miles at a time.I'd never faced such 11 ．That day，I got 12 by about 100“local”bikers who were used to such roads.When I got back home，suddenly riding my bike didn't seem quite as 13 ． I've 14 a lot since then.I've come to accept that whatever 15 I set for myself，they just have to be my own. [语篇解读]　记叙文。本文讲述了在生活中，他人的成就对作者的激励作用以及消极作用。作者曾经受朋友赢得马拉松比赛的激励而开始跑步，但后来因遇到更厉害的跑步者和感受到跑步的无聊而放弃。再后来作者转而骑自行车，但因爬坡的困难和被人超过的打击而放弃。最终，作者意识到目标应针对自身而设。 1．A.knew B．held C．won D．quit 解析　C　上文中的“I've been motivated—and demotivated—by other folks' achievements all my life.”提到作者会因为别人的成就而受到激励。结合下文的“Feeling motivated，I started running”可知，此处是指一个社区的朋友赢得了马拉松比赛，作者因此受到了激励。quit“退出”。故用won。 2．A.regularly B．silently C．proudly D．recently 解析　A　结合语境和常识可知，作者受到了激励，因此应是开始定期跑步。silently“悄悄地，静静地”；proudly“得意地，自豪地”。故用regularly。 3．A.asking B．looking C．waiting D．training 解析　D　由下文的“referring to a 52.4­mile double marathon”可知，作者遇到的那个女孩要参加一场52.4英里的双人马拉松比赛，因此她那时正在为之训练，故用 training。 4．A.made B．believed C．hated D．deserved 解析　C　受到那个女孩的影响，作者第二天就开始跑自己从未跑过的最长距离——15 英里。根据下文的“the pure boredom of jogging”可知，作者认为慢跑无比无聊，因此其实作者本身没有跑步的意愿，所以此处可推知，作者是讨厌跑15英里的。deserve“值得，应得”。故用 hated。 5．A.advantage B．achievement C．contribution D．influence 解析　B　作者遇到的女孩为52.4 英里的双人马拉松比赛训练，而作者在跑15英里的距离，因此对比之下在那个女孩面前作者跑步的成就显得非常渺小。advantage“有利条件，有利因素，优势”； achievement“成就，成绩”；contribution“贡献”； influence“影响”。故用 achievement。 6．A.way B．risk C．place D．reason 解析　D　由上文可知，跑步对作者而言是令人讨厌的、无聊的，因此作者放弃了跑步，决定以后能让自己再次跑步的唯一原因是后面有大狗在追赶。risk“危险，风险”。故用 reason。 7．A.gave up B．went on C．turned to D．dealt with 解析　C　由下文的“I got a good bike and rode a lot”可知，作者买了一辆好的自行车，并骑了很多次，因此作者放弃跑步后把自己的目标转向了骑自行车。give up“放弃”；go on“继续”；deal with“处理”。故用 turned to。 8．A.heard B．dreamed C．complained D．approved 解析　B　结合上文中描述的作者的经历和下文作者放弃了骑行可知，此处表示在骑行方面，作者一开始梦想着参加骑行比赛，直到飞往圣地亚哥拜访姐姐。complain“抱怨”；approve“同意”。故用dreamed。 9．A.painted B．borrowed C．bought D．parked 解析　B　根据空前的“I flew to San Diego to visit my sister.While she was at work one day”和空后的“went for a ride”可知，作者去圣地亚哥找姐姐，一天姐姐在上班，作者去骑行了，因此此处是说作者向姐姐借了自行车，故用borrowed。 10．A.problem B．secret C．principle D．advice 解析　A　由空后的“The roads there went through large valleys where I'd be riding uphill for miles at a time.”可知，那里的道路穿过宽阔的山谷，在那里作者要一次骑好几英里的上坡路；再结合下文的“about 100 ‘local’bikers who were used to such roads”可知，与当地那些习惯了这种路的人相比，作者不习惯这种路，这种路对作者而言是一个问题。principle“原则，原理”。故用 problem。 11．A.dangers B．events C．opponents D．challenges 解析　D　作者要一次骑好几英里的上坡路，结合常识和下文作者放弃骑自行车可知，此处是在描述作者的困难，所以此处是说作者从来没有遇到过这种挑战。danger“危险，风险”； event“活动，比赛项目”；opponent“对手，竞争者”。故用challenges。 12．A.passed B．convinced C．admired D．stopped 解析　A　由上文内容和下文的“by about 100‘local’ bikers who were used to such roads”可知，作者被熟悉这种路的当地骑行者超过，convince“使确信，使相信，使信服”； admire“钦佩，赞赏”。故用passed。 13．A.reliable B．convenient C．familiar D．appealing 解析　D　结合上文可知，作者在骑行途中遇到了挑战，又被大约百人超过，作者受挫了，因此骑行对作者来说就没有那么有吸引力了，reliable“可信赖的，可依靠的”；convenient“实用的，便利的”； familiar“熟悉的，常见到的，常听说的”。故用appealing。 14．A.traveled B．matured C．missed D．worried 解析　B　结合文章最后一句“I've come to accept...be my own.”可知，经过跑步和骑行这两件事情，作者已经逐渐相信目标应是为自己而设的，因此作者成长了、成熟了，故用 matured。 15．A.limits B．dates C．goals D．tests 解析　C　综合全文可知，在跑步和骑行这两件事情上，作者均受到了他人成就的影响，但结果都失败了，故此处是说自那之后作者逐渐相信不管为自己设定什么目标，这些目标都要是为自己而设的。limit“限制”。故用goals。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
