During World War II, they had to live in a secret hiding place to escape the Nazi Holocaust (纳粹大屠杀). This was a time when the German Nazis were killing Jews. Around six million Jews died in the Holocaust. Anne’s father was a successful businessman in Germany. When the Nazis took control of the country in 1933, the Frank family moved to Amsterdam in the Netherlands. Later, this city became unsafe, so Anne’s father prepared some secret rooms above his offices. On 6 July, 1942, Anne moved into this “secret annexe (辅楼)” with her parents, her older sister Margot, and four other Jewish people. The annexe was small and crowded. Everyone had to be very quiet. They were often hungry and always afraid of being caught. To keep busy, Anne wrote in her diary. She described her daily life and her struggles, but also wrote about her hopes and dreams. “I don’t think of all the misery” she wrote, “but of the beauty that still remains.” The family was in hiding for two years. During that time, Anne kept a diary and wrote in it almost every day. On 4 August, 1944, the annexe was discovered and everyone hiding there were sent to labour camps. Anne and her sister Margot died in a German camp in March 1945. Of all the people who had hidden in the annexe, only Otto Frank, Anne’s father, survived. Anne’s diary was discovered by friends and returned to Otto Frank after the war. The diary was originally written in Dutch. Since then, it has been published in at least 67 languages and 31 million copies have been sold. The English version is called The Diary of a Young Girl. Today, the annexe building in Amsterdam where Anne and her family hid is a museum called Anne Frank House. Although Anne’s life in hiding was extremely difficult, her diary reveals her positive attitude. For example, in 1944, she wrote, “In spite of everything I still believe that people are really good at heart.” Anne Frank’s diary has inspired teenagers everywhere. “The good news,” she wrote, “is that you don’t know how great, you can be, how much you can love, what you can accomplish, and what your potential is!” 1．Who is Anne Frank?

Accompanied by typical Jin opera (晋剧) music, a red-faced performer with a long beard showed up at the hall of a high school in Taiyuan, Shanxi Province. All the students in the hall stood up and craned (伸长) their necks to get a better look. In their eyes, Jin opera was something from the past. They are not alone. It goes without saying that kids nowadays are much more familiar with popular music than traditional opera, which is why performing artist Wu Lingyun, together with his colleagues,goes to campuses to promote the art. Wu Lingyun is renowned for his role as Guan Gong, a general during the late Han Dynasty period.Wu began playing the role in 1985, at the age of 21, and has been associated with it ever since. Wu was significantly influenced by his parents, both of whom are also famous Jin opera performers.With a natural talent for performing and great effort, Wu was soon recognized by audiences and later awarded the Chinese Drama Plum Blossom Award in 2000, the highest award for Chinese drama performing arts. Given Wu’s considerable fame, one might think he would now prefer to enjoy a life of leisure.However, this is far from the case. Deep down, Wu has a big dream. He pictures a growing future for Jin opera. Wu expected more chances for more people to get to know about the art, hoping Jin opera could become a worldwide art. Wu has also made some changes to the traditional art to bring it up-to-date. “Jin opera should keep pace with the times if we want to bring it back to life and get the young generation to accept it,” he says,“An art without life can never survive.” 6．How did the students react to the performance at the hall?

The video continues with Madison sharing classroom stories, what she did during lunchtime, what she kept in her locker and how she was excited about entering high school. Scruggs ended up each year telling Madison he loves her to which she replies, “Love you too!” Madison said that she enjoyed seeing herself grow up in the video. “It was also cool to see my personality change,” Madison said. “I’m really thankful for how much time my dad puts into it, how much he loves us and how much he and my mom do for us.” “I’m glad to be her dad and I’m glad people get to see the joy that’s in her life,” Scruggs said. 16．What is Scruggs’ video about?

The study divided 122 people from central Ohio who had depression, anxiety or stress into three groups. The first two groups were asked to follow methods often used in cognitive behavioral therapy (认知行为疗法) (CBT) for depression: planning social activities or cognitive reappraisal (重新评价). The social activities group was instructed to plan social activities for two days a week. Another group was instructed to write a diary for at least two days each week that helped them recognize their negative ways of viewing stressful situations and change their views in a way that could reduce depression and anxiety. Members of the third group were instructed to perform three acts of kindness — big or small acts that benefit others or make others happy — a day, for two days out of the week. Research volunteers followed their instructions for five weeks, after which their mental states were recorded. The researchers then checked with the volunteers after another five weeks to see if the methods were still effective. The findings, published in the Journal of Positive Psychology, showed that people in all three groups showed an increase in life satisfaction and a reduction of depression and anxiety levels after the study. “Compared with social activities and cognitive reappraisal, acts of kindness make people feel more connected to other people,” said David Cregg, who led the study at the Ohio State University. “Social connection is one of the parts of life most strongly linked with well-being or happiness. Performing acts of kindness seems to be one of the best ways to create those connections.” The research also showed why performing act s of kindness worked so well: It helped people take their minds off what causes their own depression or anxiety. This finding suggests that one view many people have about people with depression may be wrong. “We often think that people with depression have enough to deal with, so we don’t want to burden them by asking them to help others. But these results run counter to that,” Cregg said. 21．What did the social activities group do in the study? (no more than 10 words) 22．What did the researchers find after ten weeks? (no more than 15 words) 23．Why did performing acts of kindness work so well? (no more than 15 words) 24．What does the underlined part in the last paragraph mean? (no more than 5 words) 25．Of the three methods of reducing depression in the text, which one do you prefer? Please explain. (no more than 20 words). Passage 2 （24-25高一下·天津和平·期中）阅读短文，按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 A Chinese painting is usually thought of as work of ink and water on rice paper. But a new generation of Chinese artists is drawing inspiration from Western art to develop a different style. Wu Guanzhong was one of those who had borrowed foreign ideas while staying true to his cultural traditions. Wu studied Western painting in Paris in the 1940s. He formed his own ideas about modern Western art. He started to bring together Chinese and Western elements in his work. Wu’s paintings have the colour sense and principles of Western paintings, with the spirit and tonal (色彩的) variations of ink that are typical of Chinese artwork. Under his paintbrush, natural scenery is reduced to its basics; in simple but powerful forms. Wu’s paintings now sell for record prices. He gave 72 works of art to the government of Zhejiang Province and China Academy of Art a year before he passed away. “Wu has written a special chapter in the Chinese art history of the 20th century,” said an art researcher. “His paintings go between oil painting and ink painting, and draw Western art into the poetic Chinese style.” “My tutor Jean Souverbie once said there are two paths for artists,” said Wu. “The narrow path, that is to please, and the broad one to make people’s hearts quiver. I wanted to take the broad one.” 26．Where and when did Wu Guanzhong study Western painting? (no more than 10 words) 27．What is the feature of Wu Guanzhong’s paintings? (no more than 15 words) 28．How would you describe Wu Guanzhong according to paragraph 4? (no more than 10words) 29．What does the underlined word “quiver” in the last paragraph probably mean? (no more than 5 words) 30．How do you think people can inherit (继承) and develop the traditional Chinese painting? Please explain. (no more than 20 words) Passage 3 （24-25高一下·天津西青·期中）阅读短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 Florence Chia-ying Yeh, also known as Ye Jiaying, was a well-known expert in Chinese classical literature. On Nov 24, she passed away in Tianjin at the age of 100. Yeh learned classical poetry and English from a young age.

She lost her mother at the age of 17 and her eldest daughter passed away when Yeh was in middle age. “The study of poetry is not a goal that I pursue (追求), but a strength that supports me through difficulties,” she wrote at age 87.

She admired the Southern Song Dynasty (1127-1279) poet Xin Qiji (1140-1207) for his determination, noting how he never gave up on getting back his home even during the hardest times. What’s more, Ye Jiaying is passionate about teaching poetry.

Her vivid lectures have kindled a love for poetry in the hearts of countless students and enthusiasts. Even in her 90s, Yeh continued teaching to share Chinese poetry with as many people as possible. At the age of 92, she chose 218 ancient poems for children and recorded videos of her interpretations (解读) and readings the following year.

However, I had no idea what should I do as a father. “How can I take care of such delicate (脆弱的) creatures at home without your instructions?” I asked. The nurse laughed, “Don’t worry. You will be fine. They know how to tell you their needs.” It was the beginning of a lifelong journey, David and Mark were just like a lump of clay (一块黏土), which my wife, Karen and I, to some degree, could shape. I wondered how to shape them and make them become great men — not men only with strong build and healthy bodies, but men of character, integrity (正直) and bravery, and with a positive influence. When our sons were learning to walk, I got a suggestion: Always treat your sons like the adults they are capable of becoming, and make them become men. The advice let Karen and me know what really matters in life and intentionally build values into their life. But how could we develop their character and build values into their life? Finally Karen and I decided to have meaningful dialogues about some role models while taking a walk with them in the morning. And each night, I read them a bedtime story about positive figures. One night, when I was doing so, I realized just as the story reached the climax (高潮), I saw wonder in their eyes. I realized I often missed those expressions when reading the story. So I ceased reading stories to them. Instead, I started telling them stories I created about a good boy and a bad boy facing a moral dilemma so I could watch their faces. They warmly discussed the right thing to do before I revealed how the characters handled the situation. This full-eye-contact storytelling helped us bond each other. And they gradually became the kind of people that Karen and I wanted them to be. Now thinking back, I think my greatest achievement in life is that my sons have the values Karen and I hold dear. 41．How did the author feel when being asked to take his babies home?(no more than 5words) 42．What aspect did the author focus on during his sons 'growth?(no more than 5words) 43．What does the underlined word “ceased” in Paragraph 4 mean?(One word) 44．What did the author and Karen do to build values in their sons' life?(no more than 15words) 45．Do you agree with the author's way of raising his kids? Why?(no more than 20 words) Passage 6 （24-25高一下·天津和平·期中）阅读短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 A seed expert who brought high-quality vegetable seeds to many countries, was awarded the 2019 World Food Prize. Simon Groot of the Netherlands is credited with introducing high-quality, disease-resistance vegetable seeds to more than 60 countries including the Philippines, Thailand and Indonesia. He began his search to create better vegetable seeds to help farmers in Southeast Asia in1981. Sixteen years earlier, he had made his first trip to Indonesia. There, Groot learned that vegetable seeds which were developed for the climate of Europe, did poorly when planted in the hot tropics. He thought there was a great possibility to introduce hybrid vegetables to the area. The area lacked vegetable seed developers who were trying to create hybrids for the local climate. “I noticed the seed quality in that part of world was so much below our standards and below achievable standards. I could not stand that the farmers there did not have better seeds.”Said Groot. At that time, farmers in Southeast Asia usually saved seeds from season to season. That was because the seeds available for sale were often old. Those seeds were usually from Europe or North America and did not grow well in their tropical climate. This meant that the farmers ended up with smaller crops, and lower quality that changed greatly from season to season. The plant also could easily become infected with diseases. Groot partnered with seed trader Benito Domingo of the Philippines. They put together a team of seed researchers and growers from Wageninge University in the Netherlands and the University of the Philippines. Within a few years, they developed a hybrid bitter gourd (苦瓜) that sold successfully. Then they modified a tomato plant, followed by eggplants, pumpkins and leafy vegetables. The early success led to the start of the East-West Seed Company, which now has more than 970 improved seeds of 60 vegetable crops. Over the past 40 years, the discoveries have led to the creation of a tropical vegetable seed industry aimed at small farmers. The tropical seeds are now spreading into Asia, Africa and Latin America. It is estimated that the company’s seeds are used by 20 million farmers each year in more than 60 countries. 46．Why was Groot awarded the 2019 World Food Prize ? (No more than 10 words.) 47．What’s the main idea of Paragraph 2?(no more than 10 words) 48．What made the plants not grow well in Southeast Asia in the past? (No more than 15words) 49．What does the underlined word in the Paragraph 4 most probably mean?(Only 1 word) 50．What do you think of Groot’s work? And give your reasons.

Her family was Jewish. During World War II, they had to live in a secret hiding place to escape the Nazi Holocaust.(安妮于1929年6月12日出生于德国法兰克福，她是犹太人家庭。二战期间，他们为躲避纳粹大屠杀而藏身秘密住所)”可知，安妮·弗兰克是二战期间的犹太女孩。故填A Jewish girl in WWII。 2．考查主旨大意。根据文章第二段“Anne’s father was a successful businessman in Germany. When the Nazis took control of the country in 1933, the Frank family moved to Amsterdam in the Netherlands. Later, this city became unsafe, so Anne’s father prepared some secret rooms above his offices. On 6 July, 1942, Anne moved into this “secret annexe” with her parents, her older sister Margot, and four other Jewish people.(安妮的父亲是德国一位成功的商人。1933年纳粹党控制了德国后，弗兰克一家搬到了荷兰的阿姆斯特丹。后来，这座城市也不再安全了，于是安妮的父亲在他办公室的上方准备了一些秘密房间。1942年7月6日，安妮和她的父母、她的姐姐玛格特以及其他四位犹太人一起搬进了这个“秘密辅楼”)”可知，本段主要描述弗兰克家族的搬迁及藏身准备。故填The Frank family’s relocation and secret hiding preparation。 3．考查细节理解。根据文章第三段“To keep busy, Anne wrote in her diary. She described her daily life and her struggles, but also wrote about her hopes and dreams.(为了打发时间，安妮写日记。她描述了她的日常生活和挣扎，但也写下了她的希望和梦想)”可知，安妮坚持写日记既是为了打发时间，也是为了表达内心希望。故填To keep busy and express hopes。 4．考查词义猜测。根据文章第三段划线词上文“They were often hungry and always afraid of being caught. To keep busy, Anne wrote in her diary. She described her daily life and her struggles, but also wrote about her hopes and dreams (他们经常挨饿，而且总是害怕被抓住。为了打发时间，安妮写日记。她描述了她的日常生活和挣扎，但也写下了她的希望和梦想)”可知，他们经常挨饿，而且总是害怕被抓住，安妮在日记中描述了她的日常生活和挣扎，可推知“misery”强调极端痛苦或苦难。故填Extreme suffering。 5．考查阅读表达。根据文章最后一段“Anne Frank’s diary has inspired teenagers everywhere. “The good news,” she wrote, “is that you don’t know how great, you can be, how much you can love, what you can accomplish, and what your potential is!”(安妮·弗兰克的日记激励着世界各地的青少年。“有个好消息，”她写道，“那就是你不知道自己能有多伟大，能付出多少爱，能成就什么，以及自己有多大的潜力！”)”，可知通过广泛阅读和传播日记能传承人性光辉与希望精神，所以我们可以广泛地阅读和分享她的日记。她的日记教会我们，即便身处苦难之中，也要怀有希望并坚守人性的善良，故填We can read and share her diary widely. Her diary teaches hope and human goodness despite suffering。 Passage 2 （24-25高一下·天津和平·期中）阅读短文，按照题目要求用英语回答问题.

(在经典的晋剧音乐伴奏下，一位红脸长髯的表演者出现在山西省太原市一所高中的礼堂里。礼堂里的所有学生都站起身来，伸长脖子，想要看得更清楚些)”可知，孩子们伸长脖子一探究竟，由此推知，孩子们对这项艺术表演充满了好奇。故答案为They felt curious. 7．考查词句猜测。从文章第三段“Wu Lingyun is renowned for his role as Guan Gong, a general during the late Han Dynasty period. (武凌云以其扮演的东汉时期的将军关羽这一角色而renowned)”和第四段中“With a natural talent for performing and great effort, Wu was soon recognized by audiences and later awarded the Chinese Drama Plum Blossom Award in 2000, the highest award for Chinese drama performing arts. (凭借着与生俱来的表演天赋和不懈的努力，武凌云很快得到了观众的认可，并在2000年荣获中国戏剧梅花奖，这是中国戏剧表演艺术的最高奖项)”可知，武凌云以其扮演的东汉时期的将军关羽这一角色而闻名，renowned的意思是“著名的”，可以用famous解释。故答案为Famous. 8．考查细节理解。依据文章第四段“Wu was significantly influenced by his parents, both of whom are also famous Jin opera performers.With a natural talent for performing and great effort, Wu was soon recognized by audiences and later awarded the Chinese Drama Plum Blossom Award in 2000, the highest award for Chinese drama performing arts. (武凌云受到了他父母的重大影响，他的父母两人也都是著名的晋剧演员。凭借着表演的天赋和巨大的努力，武凌云很快得到了观众的认可，并且后来在2000年获得了中国戏剧梅花奖，这是中国戏剧表演艺术的最高奖项)”可知，武凌云很快得到观众认可并获奖是因为他有表演天赋、付出了努力且受到父母的影响。故答案为Because of his talent, effort and his parents’ influence. 9．考查细节理解。根据文章第五段“He pictures a growing future for Jin opera. Wu expected more chances for more people to get to know about the art, hoping Jin opera could become a worldwide art. (他描绘了晋剧不断发展的未来。武凌云期望有更多机会让更多人了解这种艺术，希望晋剧能够成为一种世界性的艺术)”可知，他期望晋剧将在世界各地流行。故答案为It will be popular across the world. 10．考查推理判断。根据倒数第二段的“Given Wu’s considerable fame, one might think he would now prefer to enjoy a life of leisure.However, this is far from the case. Deep down, Wu has a big dream. He pictures a growing future for Jin opera. Wu expected more chances for more people to get to know about the art, hoping Jin opera could become a worldwide art. (鉴于武凌云的名气很大，人们可能会认为他现在更愿意享受悠闲的生活。然而，情况远非如此。在内心深处，武凌云有一个远大的梦想。他描绘了晋剧的成长未来。武凌云希望有更多的机会让更多的人了解晋剧艺术，希望晋剧能够成为一门世界性的艺术)”以及最后一段中的“Wu has also made some changes to the traditional art to bring it up-to-date. (武还对传统艺术进行了一些修改，使其与时俱进)”可知，武凌云在取得一定成就后还要将晋剧推广到世界，而且还对晋剧做出改变，使其与时俱进。由此推知，武凌云是一个对自己的事业全身心投入的人。故答案为：He is dedicated. Because he makes efforts to develop and promote Jin opera. Passage 3 （24-25高一下·天津河东·期中）阅读短文，并根据短文内容回答问题。 Lou Gehrig was one of baseball’s greatest players. His parents didn’t want him to make a career of baseball. They thought it was a waste of time, but he loved the game. He was on his high school baseball team. A-talent scout (物色运动员的人) saw him and offered him a sports scholarship in college. The family didn’t have much money because his father was ill. His mother was a cook at the college, and Lou waited on tables to help pay his way. He started playing for the New York Yankees in 1923. His parents scraped together $14 for him to make the trip to spring training camp in New Orleans. When he got there, he started looking for a job, but the team paid him some money in advance. He was able to concentrate on practicing and improving his skills. He improved so much that two different times, he was named American League Most Valuable Player. He was called the “Iron Horse”. He played in every game for 14 years without missing even one. He played over 2,000 games. That was a record which wasn’t broken for 50 years. But then something bad happened. He could barely swing the bat and he couldn’t run around the bases any more. He knew something was wrong. He had a disease and would become unable to move. He knew he would not be able to continue playing baseball, so he resigned. The Yankees held a special day in Yankee Stadium on July 4, 1939 to honor him. In his speech he said his career in baseball made him “the luckiest man on the face of the earth”. That same year he was voted into the Hall of Fame. Even though he could no longer play baseball, he kept himself busy by taking a job serving on the New York State Parole Commission. He kept working until he died in 1941. 11．How did Lou Gehrig get his sports scholarship? (no more than 8 words) 12．What information can we get from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2? (no more than 15words) 13．What is the main idea of Paragraph 3? (no more than 8 words) 14．What did Lou Gehrig do after ho resigned?

(一位物色运动员的人看到了他，并向他提供了大学体育奖学金)”可知，Lou Gehrig之所以能获得奖学金，是因为这个物色运动员的球探给他提供了奖学金。故答案为A talent scout offered it to him. 12．推理判断题。根据画线句“His parents scraped together $14 for him to make the trip to spring training camp in New Orleans.(他的父母凑了14美元让他去新奥尔良参加春季训练营)”可推断出，凑到14美元，对于他的父母而言都很为难，但是为了儿子的梦想，他们还是去凑了，这说明这对父母努力支持儿子。故答案为His family was poor, but his parents supported him as much as they could. 13．主旨大意题。根据第三段“He improved so much that two different times, he was named American League Most Valuable Player. He was called the “Iron Horse”. He played in every game for 14 years without missing even one. He played over 2,000 games. That was a record which wasn’t broken for 50 years. (他的进步如此之大，以至于他两次被评为美国联盟最有价值球员。他被称为“铁马”。他参加了14年的每场比赛，一场也没有缺席。他打了2000多场比赛。这是一个50年来没有打破的记录)”可知，本段主要呈现了他作为棒球运动员获得了很多成就。故答案为Lou Gehrig made great achievements in baseball. 14．细节理解题。根据最后一段第一句“Even though he could no longer play baseball, he kept himself busy by taking a job serving on the New York State Parole Commission. (尽管他不能再打棒球了，但他还是通过在纽约州假释委员会工作来保持忙碌)”可知，他辞职后就职于纽约州假释委员会。故答案为He took a job serving on the New York State Parole Commission. 15．开放性题目。根据全文可对主人公Lou Gehrig做一个评价，没有标准答案。比如说，根据第三段“He improved so much that two different times, he was named American League Most Valuable Player. He was called the “Iron Horse”. He played in every game for 14 years without missing even one. He played over 2,000 games. That was a record which wasn't broken for 50 years.

The study divided 122 people from central Ohio who had depression, anxiety or stress into three groups. The first two groups were asked to follow methods often used in cognitive behavioral therapy (认知行为疗法) (CBT) for depression: planning social activities or cognitive reappraisal (重新评价). The social activities group was instructed to plan social activities for two days a week. Another group was instructed to write a diary for at least two days each week that helped them recognize their negative ways of viewing stressful situations and change their views in a way that could reduce depression and anxiety. Members of the third group were instructed to perform three acts of kindness — big or small acts that benefit others or make others happy — a day, for two days out of the week. Research volunteers followed their instructions for five weeks, after which their mental states were recorded. The researchers then checked with the volunteers after another five weeks to see if the methods were still effective. The findings, published in the Journal of Positive Psychology, showed that people in all three groups showed an increase in life satisfaction and a reduction of depression and anxiety levels after the study. “Compared with social activities and cognitive reappraisal, acts of kindness make people feel more connected to other people,” said David Cregg, who led the study at the Ohio State University. “Social connection is one of the parts of life most strongly linked with well-being or happiness. Performing acts of kindness seems to be one of the best ways to create those connections.” The research also showed why performing act s of kindness worked so well: It helped people take their minds off what causes their own depression or anxiety. This finding suggests that one view many people have about people with depression may be wrong. “We often think that people with depression have enough to deal with, so we don’t want to burden them by asking them to help others. But these results run counter to that,” Cregg said. 21．What did the social activities group do in the study? (no more than 10 words) 22．What did the researchers find after ten weeks? (no more than 15 words) 23．Why did performing acts of kindness work so well? (no more than 15 words) 24．What does the underlined part in the last paragraph mean? (no more than 5 words) 25．Of the three methods of reducing depression in the text, which one do you prefer? Please explain. (no more than 20 words). 【答案】21．They planned social activities for two days a week. 22．People in all three groups felt better. Or: Their methods worked effectively on three groups. 23．Because it helped people take their minds off what causes their won depression or anxiety. 24．Are the opposite of. 25．I prefer to perform acts of kindness. It is an easy way to connect with others and make everyone smile. Or: I prefer cognitive reappraisal. Because it makes me calm down and rethink the bad situation from a different perspective. 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了一项新研究表明，患有抑郁或焦虑的人可以通过为他人做好事来恢复健康，并详细说明了研究的分组、过程、结果及意义。 21．考查细节理解。根据第三段中“The social activities group was instructed to plan social activities for two days a week. (社交活动组被要求每周安排两天的社交活动。)”可知，社交活动组在研究中每周安排两天的社交活动。故答案为They planned social activities for two days a week. 22．考查细节理解。根据第四段中“The findings, published in the Journal of Positive Psychology, showed that people in all three groups showed an increase in life satisfaction and a reduction of depression and anxiety levels after the study. (研究结果发表在《积极心理学杂志》上，显示三组受试者在研究结束后生活满意度均有所提高，抑郁和焦虑水平有所降低。)”可知，十周后研究人员发现三组受试者的生活满意度均有所提高，抑郁和焦虑水平有所降低，即三组受试者的情况均有所改善或三种方法均有效。故答案为People in all three groups felt better. Or: Their methods worked effectively on three groups. 23．考查细节理解。根据倒数第二段中“The research also showed why performing acts of kindness worked so well: It helped people take their minds off what causes their own depression or anxiety. (研究还揭示了为什么行善效果如此之好：它帮助人们转移注意力，不再纠结于导致自身抑郁或焦虑的原因。)”可知，行善效果如此之好的原因是它帮助人们转移注意力，不再纠结于导致自身抑郁或焦虑的原因。故答案为Because it helped people take their minds off what causes their own depression or anxiety. 24．考查词句猜测。根据最后一段中划线词所在句“We often think that people with depression have enough to deal with, so we don’t want to burden them by asking them to help others. But these results run counter to that (我们常常认为抑郁症患者已经承受了太多，所以不想让他们再通过帮助他人来增加负担。但这些结果却与此run counter to)”可知，我们原本认为不应该让抑郁症患者帮助他人，但研究结果却表明这样做是有益的，即与我们的想法相反，所以“run counter to”意为“与……相反”。故答案为Are the opposite of. 25．考查开放题。本题为开放题，言之有理即可。 示例一：根据倒数第三段中David Cregg 所说的“Compared with social activities and cognitive reappraisal, acts of kindness make people feel more connected to other people (与社交活动和认知重新评价相比，善意行为让人们感觉与他人的联系更紧密）”可知，我更喜欢行善，因为这是一种与他人建立联系的简单方式，能让每个人都微笑。故答案为I prefer to perform acts of kindness. It is an easy way to connect with others and make everyone smile. 示例二：根据第三段中“Another group was instructed to write a diary for at least two days each week that helped them recognize their negative ways of viewing stressful situations and change their views in a way that could reduce depression and anxiety. (另一组被要求每周至少写两天日记，帮助他们认识到自己看待压力情境的消极方式，并以一种能够减少抑郁和焦虑的方式改变自己的观点。)”可知，我更喜欢认知重新评价，因为它能让我冷静下来，从不同的角度重新思考糟糕的情况。故答案为I prefer cognitive reappraisal. Because it makes me calm down and rethink the bad situation from a different perspective. Passage 2 （24-25高一下·天津和平·期中）阅读短文，按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 A Chinese painting is usually thought of as work of ink and water on rice paper. But a new generation of Chinese artists is drawing inspiration from Western art to develop a different style. Wu Guanzhong was one of those who had borrowed foreign ideas while staying true to his cultural traditions. Wu studied Western painting in Paris in the 1940s. He formed his own ideas about modern Western art. He started to bring together Chinese and Western elements in his work. Wu’s paintings have the colour sense and principles of Western paintings, with the spirit and tonal (色彩的) variations of ink that are typical of Chinese artwork. Under his paintbrush, natural scenery is reduced to its basics; in simple but powerful forms. Wu’s paintings now sell for record prices. He gave 72 works of art to the government of Zhejiang Province and China Academy of Art a year before he passed away. “Wu has written a special chapter in the Chinese art history of the 20th century,” said an art researcher. “His paintings go between oil painting and ink painting, and draw Western art into the poetic Chinese style.” “My tutor Jean Souverbie once said there are two paths for artists,” said Wu. “The narrow path, that is to please, and the broad one to make people’s hearts quiver. I wanted to take the broad one.” 26．Where and when did Wu Guanzhong study Western painting? (no more than 10 words) 27．What is the feature of Wu Guanzhong’s paintings? (no more than 15 words) 28．How would you describe Wu Guanzhong according to paragraph 4? (no more than 10words) 29．What does the underlined word “quiver” in the last paragraph probably mean? (no more than 5 words) 30．How do you think people can inherit (继承) and develop the traditional Chinese painting? Please explain. (no more than 20 words) 【答案】26．In Paris in the 1940s. 27．They combine Chinese and Western art elements. 28．He was generous and devoted to art. 29．Shake / Tremble / Quake 30．People can combine it with foreign art styles. They can also stay true to cultural traditions while borrowing foreign ideas. 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了中国画通常被认为是在宣纸上的水墨画。但新一代的中国艺术家正在从西方艺术中汲取灵感，发展出一种不同的风格。吴冠中是那些既借鉴外国思想又忠于自己文化传统的人之一。 26．考查细节理解。根据第三段中“Wu studied Western painting in Paris in the 1940s.(20世纪40年代，吴在巴黎学习西方绘画。)”可知，在20世纪40年代，吴冠中在巴黎学习西洋绘画。故答案为：In Paris in the 1940s. 27．考查细节理解。根据第三段中“He started to bring together Chinese and Western elements in his work. Wu’s paintings have the colour sense and principles of Western paintings, with the spirit and tonal(色彩的) variations of ink that are typical of Chinese artwork.( 他开始在他的作品中融合中西方元素。吴的绘画既有西方绘画的色彩感和原则，又有中国艺术作品中典型的水墨精神和色调变化。)”可知，吴冠中绘画的特点是它们结合了中西方艺术元素。故答案为：They combine Chinese and Western art elements. 28．考查推理判断。根据第四段中“He gave 72 works of art to the government of Zhejiang Province and China Academy of Art a year before he passed away.(在他去世前一年，他向浙江省政府和中国美术学院捐赠了72件艺术品。)”可推知，吴冠中将大量艺术作品捐赠体现了他的慷慨和对艺术的奉献精神。故答案为：He was generous and devoted to art. 29．考查词义猜测。根据最后一段中““The narrow path, that is to please, and the broad one to make people’s hearts…. I wanted to take the broad one.”(‘窄的路，让人高兴；宽的路，让人……。我想要宽一点的。’)”可知，“the broad one to make people’s hearts …”与“the narrow path, that is to please”形成对比，此处表示走宽广的道路能让人们内心受到触动、震颤，由此可推知，“quiver”意思与“Shake/Tremble/Quake”相近 。故答案为：Shake / Tremble / Quake。 30．考查主观评价。根据文章大意以及题干的意思“人们如何继承和发展中国传统绘画？”可知，我认为人们可以把它与外国艺术风格结合起来。他们也可以在借鉴外国思想的同时忠于文化传统。故答案为：People can combine it with foreign art styles. They can also stay true to cultural traditions while borrowing foreign ideas.

However the world is full of love and care, which can make us brave. Passage 5 （24-25高一下·天津红桥·期中）阅读下面短文，并根据短文内容完成下列各题。 I got excited at the news told by the nurse that we could make preparations for taking our new born twins, David and Mark, home with us. However, I had no idea what should I do as a father. “How can I take care of such delicate (脆弱的) creatures at home without your instructions?” I asked. The nurse laughed, “Don’t worry. You will be fine. They know how to tell you their needs.” It was the beginning of a lifelong journey, David and Mark were just like a lump of clay (一块黏土), which my wife, Karen and I, to some degree, could shape. I wondered how to shape them and make them become great men — not men only with strong build and healthy bodies, but men of character, integrity (正直) and bravery, and with a positive influence. When our sons were learning to walk, I got a suggestion: Always treat your sons like the adults they are capable of becoming, and make them become men. The advice let Karen and me know what really matters in life and intentionally build values into their life. But how could we develop their character and build values into their life? Finally Karen and I decided to have meaningful dialogues about some role models while taking a walk with them in the morning. And each night, I read them a bedtime story about positive figures. One night, when I was doing so, I realized just as the story reached the climax (高潮), I saw wonder in their eyes. I realized I often missed those expressions when reading the story. So I ceased reading stories to them. Instead, I started telling them stories I created about a good boy and a bad boy facing a moral dilemma so I could watch their faces. They warmly discussed the right thing to do before I revealed how the characters handled the situation. This full-eye-contact storytelling helped us bond each other. And they gradually became the kind of people that Karen and I wanted them to be. Now thinking back, I think my greatest achievement in life is that my sons have the values Karen and I hold dear. 41．How did the author feel when being asked to take his babies home?(no more than 5words) 42．What aspect did the author focus on during his sons 'growth?(no more than 5words) 43．What does the underlined word “ceased” in Paragraph 4 mean?(One word) 44．What did the author and Karen do to build values in their sons' life?(no more than 15words) 45．Do you agree with the author's way of raising his kids? Why?(no more than 20 words) 【答案】41．Excited but worried. 42．Character and values. 43．Stopped. 44．They had meaningful dialogues about role models and told moral stories. 45．Yes, because it focuses on character and values, which are essential for life. 【导语】本文为一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者和妻子通过讨论榜样人物和讲述道德故事来培养孩子的价值观，最终将孩子培养成有品格、正直、勇敢且有正能量的人。 41．考查推理判断。根据文章第一段“I got excited at the news told by the nurse that we could make preparations for taking our new born twins, David and Mark, home with us. However, I had no idea what should I do as a father.(听到护士说我可以准备将双胞胎David和Mark带回家时，我非常激动。然而，我却不知道作为父亲应该做什么)”可知，作者得知可以带双胞胎回家时感到兴奋，但也担心自己不知道如何照顾孩子，故答案为Excited but worried. 42．考查细节理解。根据文章第二段“I wondered how to shape them and make them become great men — not men only with strong build and healthy bodies, but men of character, integrity (正直) and bravery, and with a positive influence.(我想知道如何塑造他们，使他们成为伟大的人——不仅是一个健壮、身体健康的人，而且是有品格、正直、勇敢和积极影响的人)”可知，作者希望将儿子培养成有品格、正直、勇敢且有正能量的人，因此在儿子的成长中，作者看重的是品格和价值观，故答案Character and values. 43．考查词义猜测。根据划线词ceased后文的内容“Instead, I started telling them stories I created about a good boy and a bad boy facing a moral dilemma so I could watch their faces.(相反，我开始给他们讲我编的关于一个好孩子和一个坏男孩面临道德困境的故事，这样我就可以观察他们的表情)”可知，划线词ceased后文提到，作者开始给儿子讲自己编的故事，故此处划线词ceased意为“停止”，我“停止”给他们读故事，而是开始给儿子讲自己编的故事，故答案为Stopped. 44．考查推理判断。根据文章第四段“Instead, I started telling them stories I created about a good boy and a bad boy facing a moral dilemma so I could watch their faces. They warmly discussed the right thing to do before I revealed how the characters handled the situation. This full-eye-contact storytelling helped us bond each other. And they gradually became the kind of people that Karen and I wanted them to be.(相反，我开始给他们讲我编的一个关于一个好孩子和一个坏男孩面临道德困境的故事，这样我就可以观察他们的表情。在我透露角色是如何处理这种情况之前，他们热烈地讨论了正确的做法，这种全方位的眼神交流故事帮助我们建立了联系。他们逐渐成为了Karen和我希望他们成为的那种人)”可知，作者和妻子通过讨论榜样人物和讲述道德故事来培养孩子的价值观，因此答案为They had meaningful dialogues about role models and told moral stories. 45．开放性试题。言之有理，注意词数。如根据文章第四段“Instead, I started telling them stories I created about a good boy and a bad boy facing a moral dilemma so I could watch their faces. They warmly discussed the right thing to do before I revealed how the characters handled the situation. This full-eye-contact storytelling helped us bond each other. And they gradually became the kind of people that Karen and I wanted them to be.(相反，我开始给他们讲我编的一个关于一个好孩子和一个坏男孩面临道德困境的故事，这样我就可以观察他们的表情。在我透露角色是如何处理这种情况之前，他们热烈地讨论了正确的做法，这种全方位的眼神交流故事帮助我们建立了联系。他们逐渐成为了Karen和我希望他们成为的那种人)”可知，作者和妻子通过讨论榜样人物和讲述道德故事来培养孩子的价值观，我同意作者培养孩子的做法，因为他重点培养孩子品格和价值观，这在生活中是很重要的。故答案为Yes, because it focuses on character and values, which are essential for life. Passage 6 （24-25高一下·天津和平·期中）阅读短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 A seed expert who brought high-quality vegetable seeds to many countries, was awarded the 2019 World Food Prize. Simon Groot of the Netherlands is credited with introducing high-quality, disease-resistance vegetable seeds to more than 60 countries including the Philippines, Thailand and Indonesia. He began his search to create better vegetable seeds to help farmers in Southeast Asia in1981. Sixteen years earlier, he had made his first trip to Indonesia. There, Groot learned that vegetable seeds which were developed for the climate of Europe, did poorly when planted in the hot tropics. He thought there was a great possibility to introduce hybrid vegetables to the area. The area lacked vegetable seed developers who were trying to create hybrids for the local climate. “I noticed the seed quality in that part of world was so much below our standards and below achievable standards. I could not stand that the farmers there did not have better seeds.”Said Groot. At that time, farmers in Southeast Asia usually saved seeds from season to season. That was because the seeds available for sale were often old. Those seeds were usually from Europe or North America and did not grow well in their tropical climate. This meant that the farmers ended up with smaller crops, and lower quality that changed greatly from season to season. The plant also could easily become infected with diseases. Groot partnered with seed trader Benito Domingo of the Philippines. They put together a team of seed researchers and growers from Wageninge University in the Netherlands and the University of the Philippines. Within a few years, they developed a hybrid bitter gourd (苦瓜) that sold successfully. Then they modified a tomato plant, followed by eggplants, pumpkins and leafy vegetables. The early success led to the start of the East-West Seed Company, which now has more than 970 improved seeds of 60 vegetable crops. Over the past 40 years, the discoveries have led to the creation of a tropical vegetable seed industry aimed at small farmers. The tropical seeds are now spreading into Asia, Africa and Latin America. It is estimated that the company’s seeds are used by 20 million farmers each year in more than 60 countries. 46．Why was Groot awarded the 2019 World Food Prize ? (No more than 10 words.) 47．What’s the main idea of Paragraph 2?(no more than 10 words) 48．What made the plants not grow well in Southeast Asia in the past? (No more than 15words) 49．What does the underlined word in the Paragraph 4 most probably mean?(Only 1 word) 50．What do you think of Groot’s work? And give your reasons. (No more than 25 words) 【答案】46．Because he brought high-quality vegetable seeds to many countries. 47．The reason for Groot to start his search. 48．The seeds available for sale were often old and unsuitable for the tropical climate. 49．Improved/Changed. 50．I think Groot’s work is meaningful because it has helped farmers and improved vegetable production and quality, contributing to global food security. 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了荷兰种子专家Simon Groot因向多国推广优质蔬菜种子而获2019年世界粮食奖。 46．考查细节理解。根据第一段中“A seed expert who brought high-quality vegetable seeds to many countries, was awarded the 2019 World Food Prize. Simon Groot of the Netherlands is credited with introducing high-quality, disease-resistance vegetable seeds to more than 60 countries including the Philippines, Thailand and Indonesia.(一位将优质蔬菜种子带到许多国家的种子专家获得了2019年世界粮食奖。荷兰的Simon Groot因向包括菲律宾、泰国和印度尼西亚在内的60多个国家推广优质、抗病蔬菜种子而受到赞誉)”可知，Groot获得2019年世界粮食奖是因为他将优质蔬菜种子带到了许多国家。故答案为Because he brought high-quality vegetable seeds to many countries. 47．考查段落大意。根据第二段中“He began his search to create better vegetable seeds to help farmers in Southeast Asia in1981. Sixteen years earlier, he had made his first trip to Indonesia. There, Groot learned that vegetable seeds which were developed for the climate of Europe, did poorly when planted in the hot tropics.(1981年，他开始寻找更好的蔬菜种子来帮助东南亚的农民。十六年前，他首次踏上了前往印度尼西亚的旅程。在那里，Groot了解到，那些为欧洲气候条件而培育的蔬菜种子，在炎热的热带地区种植时表现欠佳)”以及本段剩余内容可知，本段主要讲述了Groot开始寻找更好的蔬菜种子的原因。故答案为The reason for Groot to start his search. 48．考查细节理解。根据第三段中“That was because the seeds available for sale were often old. Those seeds were usually from Europe or North America and did not grow well in their tropical climate.(那是因为可供出售的种子通常都很旧。这些种子通常来自欧洲或北美，在热带气候下生长得不好)”可知，过去植物在东南亚生长不好的原因是可买到的种子通常都很旧，且这些种子通常来自欧洲或北美，不适合在热带气候下生长。故答案为The seeds available for sale were often old and unsuitable for the tropical climate. 49．考查词义猜测。根据划线词前一句话“Within a few years, they developed a hybrid bitter gourd (苦瓜) that sold successfully.(在几年之内，他们培育出了一种杂交苦瓜，并且这种苦瓜成功上市销售)”以及“Then(然后)”及“a tomato plant, followed by eggplants, pumpkins and leafy vegetables.(一种番茄植株，接着是茄子、南瓜和绿叶蔬菜。)”可知，他们成功开发了杂交苦瓜，接着说对番茄植株做了“modified”，后面又提到茄子、南瓜和多叶蔬菜，结合语境可知是对番茄植株进行了改良，modified意思是“改变，改良”。故答案为Improved/Changed. 50．考查开放回答。本题为开放性试题，答案不唯一，合理即可。根据文章内容可知，Groot的工作是有意义的，因为他的工作帮助了农民，提高了蔬菜产量和质量，对全球粮食安全做出了贡献。故答案为I think Groot’s work is meaningful because it has helped farmers and improved vegetable production and quality, contributing to global food security. / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
