Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
(2025·全国二卷)Kathy Ho teaches high school inside Lucile Packard Children's Hospital Stanford ( LPCH).“Sometimes I don't like saying that I'm a teacher,”says Ho.“People get in their minds an idea of what teachers do,but that's not really what it is here.”
“Here” is room 386,where each year,about 500 LPCH patients also become students.The hospital school is free of parents,doctors,and medical procedures.It's a place of learning.About half of Ho's students stay for a week or less;others are there for more than a year.Most of Ho's students will recover,which means that preparing them to return to school is an increasingly important component of care.
Still,in room 386,academics don't come first.Physical health and mental health are the priority.“If you're scared about something and thinking only about that,there's no way you're going to be able to learn,”Ho says.“I'm a coach,an adviser,and a comforter,and that's what it means to be a hospital teacher.”
There are up to 30 students at any given time in Ho's class.She generally works with their regular teachers to get lessons and tests being used at their home schools.Some teachers don't give the kids any assignments;they express sympathy instead.“I feel like it is a disservice to the kids,” Ho says.“They think their teachers don't care about their schoolwork.”
Ho recognizes the psychological benefit of helping kids keep up with their peers (同龄人) outside the hospital.“I actually think the medicine is only a small piece for some problems,” says Julie Good,director of pain management services at LPCH.“It's about problemsolving around what it means to have a full life.Those kids have dreams.School can keep those dreams alive by giving kids a way to learn and grow.”
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了Kathy Ho在开设于儿童医院中的学校里充当的角色,以及这所学校如何帮助患者在住院期间心怀梦想,继续学习。
1.Who does Ho teach at LPCH?
A.Sick children. B.Young nurses.
C.Medical students. D.Patients' parents.
解析 A 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“‘Here’is room 386,where each year,about 500 LPCH patients also become students...Most of Ho's students will recover”可知,LPCH的病人会成为学生,且绝大多数学生会康复。由此可知,Ho教的学生就是医院中生病的孩子,故选A。
2.What is a characteristic of Ho's job?
A.Prioritizing academics.
B.Encouraging innovation.
C.Treating various diseases.
D.Playing multiple roles.
解析 D 细节理解题。根据第三段中Ho对自己工作的描述“I'm a coach,an adviser,and a comforter,and that's what it means to be a hospital teacher”可知,Ho既是教练,又是导师和安慰者,由此可见,Ho在工作中要扮演很多不同的角色,故选D。
3.What does the underlined word “it” refer to in paragraph 4?
A.Offering regular lessons.
B.Paying extra attention.
C.Assigning no schoolwork.
D.Showing no sympathy.
解析 C 词义猜测题。根据画线词所在句“I feel like it is a disservice to the kids”和下一句“They think their teachers don't care about their schoolwork”可知,it指代的是一种会让学生感到老师不关注他们学业的行为。结合上文中的“Some teachers don't give the kids any assignments;they express sympathy instead.”可知,有些老师不给孩子们任何作业,这种行为会让孩子们觉得老师不关注他们的学业,故C项应该是it指代的具体内容。disservice“损害”。故选C。
4.How does the hospital school benefit the students according to Good?
A.It eases peer pressure.
B.It helps them live in hope.
C.It frees them from aches.
D.It entertains them with stories.
解析 B 推理判断题。根据最后一段中Good所说的“It's about problemsolving around what it means to have a full life.Those kids have dreams.School can keep those dreams alive by giving kids a way to learn and grow.”可知,医院学校让生病的孩子们拥有充实的生活,给他们提供了学习和成长的途径,让孩子们的梦想得以延续。由此可见,Good认为医院学校给孩子们带来的好处就是让他们能够带着希望生活,B项“它帮助他们带着希望生活”。故选B。

Inventor, physicist, surveyor, astronomer, biologist, artist...Robert Hooke was all these and more.Some say he was the most outstanding experimental scientist of the 17th century.In the course of his work, he cooperated with famous men of science like Isaac Newton, and the great architect Christopher Wren.
Hooke's early education began at home, under the guidance of his father.He entered Westminster School at the age of 13, and from there went to Oxford, where he came in contact with some of the best scientists in England.Hooke impressed them with his skills at designing experiments and inventing instruments.In 1662, at the age of 27, he was named Curator of Experiments at the newly formed Royal Society of London—meaning that he was responsible for demonstrating (展示) new experiments at the society's weekly meeting.Hooke accepted the job, even though he knew that the society had no money to pay him!
Watching living things through a microscope was one of his favourite pastimes.He invented a compound microscope for this purpose.One day while observing a cork (软木塞) under a microscope, he saw honeycomblike structures.They were cells—the smallest units of life.In fact, it was Hooke who invented the term “cell” as the boxlike cells of the cork reminded him of the cells of a monastery (修道院).
Another achievement of Hooke's is his book Micrographia, which introduces the enormous potential of the microscope.It contains fascinating drawings of the things he saw under the microscope.The book also includes, among other things, ideas on gravity, light and combustion (燃烧) that may have helped scientists like Newton when they were developing their own theoretical frameworks on these phenomena.
Hooke made a valuable contribution to astronomy too.A crater on the moon is named after him in honour of his service to this branch of science.
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了英国伟大的科学家、细胞的发现者罗伯特·胡克。
5.Why did Hooke accept the job as Curator of Experiments?
A.He liked designing experiments.
B.His family needed his support.
C.His parents couldn't afford his education.
D.He wanted to please some famous scientists.
解析 A 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Hooke impressed them with his skills at designing experiments and inventing instruments.”可知,胡克在设计实验和发明仪器方面非常优秀,由此推断他接受实验馆长一职的原因是他喜欢设计实验。而B、C、D选项都属于“无中生有”,文中没有涉及这些内容。故选A。
6.What does the underlined word “pastimes” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A.Jobs. B.Experiments.
C.Hobbies. D.Structures.
解析 C 词义猜测题。根据上文介绍胡克对实验的喜欢以及第三段介绍他为了观察生物而发明一种复合显微镜可知,用显微镜观察生物是他最喜欢做的事情,由此推断 “pastime”的意思是“爱好”。A项意为“工作”;B项意为“实验”;D项意为“结构”。故选C。
7.What can we know about Hooke?
A.He went to Oxford in 1645.
B.He was well paid at the Royal Society of London.
C.He made a contribution to medicine.
D.His book Micrographia may have helped Newton.
解析 D 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“The book...that may have helped scientists like Newton when they were developing their own theoretical frameworks on these phenomena.”可知,书中的一些观点可能对像牛顿这样的科学家发展自己的理论框架有所帮助,由此可知胡克的《显微术》这本书可能对牛顿有帮助。由第二段内容可知,1662年胡克27岁,他是在13岁进入Westminster School,然后上的牛津大学,他13岁时是1648年,所以上牛津大学的时间不可能是1645年,所以A项错误。B选项“他在英国皇家学会薪水很高”和文中第二段最后一句中的“even though he knew that the society had no money to pay him”相悖。全文没有提及他对医学方面的贡献,故C选项“他对医学做出了贡献”内容错误。故选D。
8.Which word can be used to describe Hooke?
A.Honest. B.Creative.
C.Reliable. D.Modest.
解析 B 推理判断题。文章介绍了胡克的很多成就,而且他喜欢做实验,也发明了很多仪器,由此推断他是富有创造性的。而其他三个选项(A项“诚实的”;C项“可信赖的”;D项“谦虚的”)所说的品质在文中没有体现。故选B。

[语篇解读] 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了家庭志愿服务的意外益处,包括让人感觉时间更充裕、对成年人的健康有益、对青少年有终身积极影响及增进家庭互动等。
1.解析 B 空前以两个提问引出家庭共同活动的需求(寻找使家庭成员凝聚在一起的方式和成员的共同爱好)。空后指出志愿服务对家庭有意外的积极影响。选项B“家庭志愿服务可能正是你需要的”直接回应上文提问,并引出下文的志愿服务对家庭的益处,并形成“提问—建议—展开”的逻辑链。
2.解析 G 本段主要介绍“你会感觉时间更充裕”这一益处。上文提到“人们总是觉得太忙而无法进行志愿服务,但研究发现将时间奉献给社区事业实际上让人感觉时间更充裕”。选项G“志愿服务让你感到有能力,并激励你充分利用每一天”解释了“时间充裕感”的原因,与上文中的研究发现构成因果关系,符合语境。
3.解析 E 空后以华盛顿大学研究为例,说明55岁及以上的志愿者比相同年龄的其他人记忆力更好、整体健康维持更久。选项E“对成年人来说,志愿服务能带来显著的身体健康益处”作为段落主旨句,概括下文研究结论,符合语境。选项E中的“adults”“physical health benefits”与下文“adults 55 and older”“had better memory and maintained overall health longer”呼应。
4.解析 C 空处对应段落指出志愿服务对青少年的积极影响(提升成绩、增强自信、影响未来幸福感)。选项C“志愿服务对儿童和青少年有终身影响”既点明本段对象(kids and teenagers),又与下文“These effects aren't just shortterm but...in the years to come.”呼应。
5.解析 F 空前提到一起做志愿活动的家庭会有为共同目标而奋斗的独特体验。空后指出“每个人都有独特的贡献价值,并以一种新的方式与彼此建立联系”。选项F“你甚至可能发现孩子有你以前不知道的天赋”是“独特体验”的具体表现,承接上文,并呼应下文提到的每个人的独特贡献价值。
