阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Yosemite National Park has long been a place of inspiration for artists,climbers,and nature lovers.
Yosemite Falls
Repeatedly coming into view over treetops and around corners as you drive through the valley,the falls look different from every angle,and it’s impossible to take your eyes off.You don’t have to hike or even get out of your car to appreciate this waterfall,but the most complete view of the falls is from
the start of the Yosemite Falls hike,along the route on the left side of the river.You can walk right to the base of the falls with minimum effort and feel the mist sweeping over you.
Half Dome
Half Dome is one of Yosemite’s most famous sites and particularly well-known in the climbing world for being one of the first “big climbs”.This granite icon (花岗岩雕像) looks much different depending on the angle you are viewing it from.Looking up at the sheer rock face from the valley,you can appreciate why climbers have been drawn here.The best place to view it is from the lookout at Glacier Point.From here,you get a true picture of the rock and how much higher it stands than the surrounding mountains.
EI Capitan
Popular among climbers,EI Capitan is a 3,000-foot sheer rock face on the north side of Yosemite Valley.Although it may not seem like it,EI Capitan is actually 1,000 feet higher than the face of Half Dome.EI Capitan gained interest with the free solo climb of Alex Honnold in June of 2017,and the Academy Award winning documentary film,Free Solo.He became the first person to climb EI Capitan without ropes,and completely unaided.
Tunnel View
The most classic view of Yosemite Valley is from Tunnel View.This vista,which will feel very familiar to most climbers,stretches out to EI Capitan on the left,Bridalveil Fall on the right,Half Dome in the distance,and also takes in the lush valley at the base of the huge granite walls.The best time to appreciate this scene is in the afternoon,when the walls are bathed in sunlight.

(2025·广东省深圳市高二上期末)
At 67,Joyce Faulkner thought she was looking for a holiday.Her husband,Jim,had recently died and exploring possible house swaps on the Home Exchange website felt less painful.In the end,it was not a vacation Faulkner found but a job.She left her home in Edinburgh to become mother’s help to seven-year-old twins in Varese,Italy.
“It’s halfway crazy,” she says.A house swap she was interested in didn’t work out,but the owner,Rachele,asked:“‘Do you know anyone who might help me with the children?’ I wrote back and said:‘Tell me what that involves!’ She wrote me a little list,and I said:‘I could do that!’ We seemed to believe in each other.”
Two months later,when Faulkner reached Varese,“the dad,Andrea,was walking towards me with the children hiding behind his legs,kind of shy,
thinking:‘Who is this woman in a long black coat?’ I don’t think it was quite Mary Poppins,but the atmosphere was immediately warm and friendly.”
Eighteen months on,Faulkner’s job no longer feels like a job.“I just feel like part of the family.” They joke:“You think you’re going back to Scotland? No,you’re staying here!” She gives English lessons,helps with the housework,meets the children from school,plays chess or table tennis with them,and takes them to the park.“It never feels like work,” she says. “It has been absolutely the perfect match.” Faulkner’s son,Steven,who lives in London,has visited her and they have cycled around the northern Italian lakes.She feels no more distant than when she lived in Edinburgh.
“You have to take the opportunity when it presents itself,” Jim once said.
“I’ll be 70 in January,but in my head,I’m 30.I still feel the same person,I have the same enthusiasm for life,the same interest in people and things.In that sense,I wish I had another 70,” Faulkner jokes.

(2025·广东省惠州市高二上期末)
When I was younger,I faced one obstacle,the divorce (离婚) of my parents.I wanted to know why my mother left and no longer lived in my house,but I was not able to understand exactly what had happened.Puzzles became my escape as I knew that all puzzles have an answer;they had unknowingly become a large part of my childhood as they made sense to me unlike what was going on in my life.
My love for puzzles led me to buying a Rubik’s cube (魔方) after I saw my friend solve his own.In the beginning,I was unable to follow the guide that came with the first Rubik’s cube I bought,but then I searched up a tutorial online and learned by watching.Using my skill of memory,I was able to remember possible patterns that the Rubik’s cube could be after each step.
After I learned how to solve a Rubik’s cube and learned that it could be solved many ways,I never got tired of solving it,because there were so many combinations that every time I mixed it up,there was a different solution.
My outlook of the world changed,as I realized that there is not one concrete solution to everything,but multiple solutions.Being able to see things differently,the ways I solved some problems with multiple solutions were uncommon among my classmates.My 10th grade math teacher had acknowledged this when he wrote a comment on my test,saying he had not thought about solving a problem the way I had solved it.I gained a new perspective in approaching the challenges of life.The obstacles that we encounter throughout our lifetime are preparation in order for us to solve the everlasting mystery of life.
语篇解读 本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章主要讲述了作者从学魔方中所获得的感悟:一个问题有多种解决方案,且我们一生中所遇到的障碍都是为了解决生命永恒的谜团而做的准备。
细节理解题。根据第一段中“When I was younger,I faced one obstacle,the divorce (离婚) of my parents...Puzzles became my escape as I knew that all puzzles have an answer...”可知,作者一开始被父母为什么离婚所困扰,即父母离婚的干扰困惑着作者,故选D。
28.What were the puzzles for the author at the beginning?
A.A replacement for friends.
B.A way to understand parents.
C.A solution to the mysteries of life.
D.A distraction from parents’ divorce.
√
细节理解题。根据第三段内容可知,作者沉迷于解魔方是因为它有很多解法,故选C。
29.Why was the author addicted to solving the Rubik’s cube?
A.For the joy in the process.
B.For the achievements in learning.
C.For the possibility to different solutions.
D.For the praise from teachers and classmates.
√

I came across the book Essentialism:The Disciplined Pursuit of Less from a library app and I can say that after reading,it did not disappoint.
The book fits into the personal development category.It talks about how important it is to focus on absolutely important things and remove the unnecessary distractions.The common problem,Greg McKeown says,is spotting the important things.Essentialism means continuously defining where we can create the most value,then finding ways to execute these tasks most effortlessly.
In Essentialism,McKeown draws on experience and insight from working with the leaders of the most innovative companies in the world to show how to achieve the pursuit of less.More importantly,by applying a more selective standard for what is essential,the pursuit of less allows us to regain control of our own choices so we can channel our time,energy and effort into making the highest possible contribution toward the goals and activities that matter.
McKeown further explores the difference between an essentialist and a non-essentialist.He gives fantastic and relatable examples from his life as well as from others to illustrate how functioning as a non-essentialist is harmful for both you and those around you.He says the primary difference in both of them is the one who says yes to everything and the other (the essentialist) says yes only to the things that matter.
He also tells that a non-essentialist will commit to everything and put his personal priorities (优先事项) on the side while that is opposite in case of the essentialist.Whether it is in work-life or personal life,a non-essentialist will try to do more by quick-fix solutions but an essentialist will focus on removing barriers and nothing else.He also gives us examples of famous people like Mahatma Gandhi who followed essentialism.
Finally,the book tells us how to set out the important things in our life—like a routine of 8 hours of sleep,daily journal or playing or relaxing every day to let our minds rest.In today’s fast-paced life,McKeown says,restfulness is a precious escape from the noisy world.

词义猜测题。根据第二段中的“It talks about how important it is to focus on absolutely important things and remove the unnecessary distractions.”以及画线单词的前半句话“Essentialism means continuously defining where we can create the most value”可知,本质论教会了我们专注于绝对重要的事情和消除不必要的干扰。我们要找到哪里能够创造最大的价值,然后找到方式去消除不必要的干扰,找到方法最轻松地执行这些任务。所以画线单词的意思是“执行”。故选A。

Many would consider emotions to be a barrier to decision-making and,therefore,think that they would be better off without them.However,the latest research has proved that our emotions will drive the conclusions we make,and that our well-being may depend upon our ability to understand and interpret them. 36 Here are some suggestions.
Start by understanding your emotions. 37 This mindful process of self-examination is important for healthy decisions,since emotions can influence our views and judgments.
Emotions can act as a compass (指南针),pointing you toward what matters most to you.However,strong emotions can affect our judgment and make it challenging to think objectively and critically. 38 You should be aware that emotions that arise from past experiences might cloud your judgment.Separate the present situation from the past and focus on the relevant factors.
39 However,they should be connected with factual information.Take your time to gather crucial information before making important decisions.Analyse the pros and cons (利弊) of your options to make the best possible decisions.
It’s beneficial to expand your viewpoint.When you see the big picture and are focused on your highest purpose,you are not distracted by smaller issues.Figuring out your deepest long-term goals and pursuing them will channel your emotions toward peace and harmony. 40 .
To sum up,emotions play a significant role in decision-making and,when used properly,they can improve the effectiveness of the decision-making process.
A.Emotions can provide valuable insights.
B.All this information can serve your goal in the long run.
C.You’ll recognize that a decision driven by your values is the best.
D.Actually,we can effectively use emotions for successful decision-making.

“There are lots of beautiful fish in the lake,” said Grandpa as he drove our small boat out onto the lake one morning.“Robbie,this looks like a good place.Let’s stay there and start some serious fishing.”
Grandpa’s words filled my six-year-old mind with excitement of catching a big fish and having a dinner of fish.Attaching a bobber (浮标) to my line,I threw it into the quiet,blue-green water.My eyes carefully watched the bobber for any sign of movement.At first,my heart was beating with excitement,but after about half an hour,I grew tired of the bobber’s stillness in the water.
“Where are all the fish?”I cried.“Patience,Robbie,”said Grandpa.
“Let our boat drift (漂流) for a while and see if that changes our luck.” This was how the rest of the day went.However much we drifted or moved to different parts of the lake,no fish was coming.I was quite sad and had thoughts of never fishing again.Finally,by late afternoon,Grandpa started driving us back to the lakeside.
During the period,he told me a story of how a fisherman finally caught lots of fish after being patient.But I was not that encouraged.After pulling up to the lakeside,he said,“Robbie,after I tie up the boat,stay on the boat and throw your line in one more time.There may be some sunfish hanging around the lakeside.”
I did as he said and again watched the bobber.This time I planned to be patient and waited longer.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式作答。
Just when I decided to give up,I saw the bobber move a little._________
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I awoke suddenly from my sleepiness.The bobber moved a second time and then a third.I felt the pull of the line as the bobber disappeared below the water’s surface.My eyes lit up and my body responded with a quick pull on the fishing pole.I clearly felt the weight of the great fish on the other end of the line,so I shouted excitedly,“Grandpa,it’s a fish!”
Grandpa turned around and taught me how to land the fish._____________
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I managed to pull the big fish up to our boat.Grandpa looked at me with a big smile and said,“Robbie,this is the biggest fish I’ve ever seen.Luckily you stuck it out to catch it.” I was so proud.When we arrived home,I showed the big fish to all family members.Grandma was so happy,and she fried it up for our dinner.After dinner,Grandpa told everyone about our adventure and how I caught a fish using my newfound fishermen’s tricks,especially the patience.
