Tina Margason, a teacher in San Jose, CA, has linked literature and storytelling with their students’ growth experiences in creative ways. When her kindergartners read The Little Red Hen, they got excited about growing wheat to “help” the hen in the story. Discovering that wheat could be planted in the fall locally, they bought seeds from a health food store. Throughout the school year, they carefully observed and measured the wheat. Before summer vacation, they harvested the wheat and used store-bought wheat berries to make flour and bread. This hands-on project not only made the story come alive, but also taught them important values like patience and cooperation. After reading Planting a Rainbow, the students were eager to plant their own rainbow-themed garden. They gathered various flower seed packets, grouped them by color with the help of seed catalogs, and planned the garden carefully. They started seeds indoors and transplanted the seedlings in spring. Even though the daffodils, amaryllis and other flowers didn’t bloom all at once, the students were fascinated by each new color that emerged. They documented these changes in their journals. Through these projects, they truly understood that good things take time and patience. These garden-based learning activities not only enriched their knowledge but also cultivated their love for nature and learning. Moreover, the process of planning and problem-solving during the gardening projects improved their critical thinking skills. Whether it was deciding where to plant the flowers or dealing with unexpected growth issues, the students learned to think on their feet and find solutions independently. These experiences also encouraged peer-to-peer learning as students shared their observations and ideas, further deepening their understanding. 1．Why did Tina Margason’s kindergartners want to grow wheat? A．They related to the hen in The Little Red Hen. B．They desired a visit to their own wheat field. C．They had to follow the teacher’s suggestion. D．They felt happy to offer food to the school’s hens. 2．What did the students do for their rainbow-themed garden? A．They planted seeds directly outdoors. B．They sorted seeds accordingly by reference. C．They wrote diaries carefully under scientists’ guidance. D．They depended on experts regularly to settle problems. 3．What do these garden-based learning focus on? A．Process and practice. B．Interest and fame. C．Books and diets. D．Colors and designs. 4．What is the author’s attitude towards garden-based learning activities? A．Indifferent. B．Curious. C．Favorable. D．Unclear. Passage 2 (24-25高一下·云南楚雄·期中) I began learning languages at the age of five, when my parents sent me to an after-school French class at my primary school. My parents, who speak English, stressed using different languages at home — even Grandpa could speak a foreign language! I don’t remember much from those early classes, aside from learning different colours and days of the week over and over, but I do know that it was during these moments that I first discovered the joy of journeying away from my surroundings with words. Because in French class it was easy to imagine we were somewhere else, away-far away-from the present, which was a really attractive idea to a young child with a wild imagination. I stuck with French as I grew up; it was one of those strong relationships that provides comfort. It wasn’t until I began learning Spanish (西班牙语) at age 11 that I experienced a more transformative (变化的) relationship with languages. Looking back, it strikes me that Spanish, for me, was always about feelings. At the beginning the focus was on learning words and grammar to describe how I was feeling, but I somehow ended up with a language that helped me express myself better than my native language. After years of studying Spanish at school, and living in Spain, my Spanish came to match, and perhaps even exceed (超过), my English. Despite having returned to the UK ten years ago, now I still often find myself stuck in English conversations, unable to express a thought or feeling with quite the same depth as I would be able to in Spanish. Spanish affords me another kind of liveliness. I’m not just “in love”. To me, “te echo de menos” houses more feeling than “I miss you,” which takes me back to a time in my life that I miss a lot. 53．What is the author’s native language? A．French. B．English. C．Spanish. D．Chinese. 54．Why did the author feel enjoyable in French class? A．He could picture an amazing world. B．He had no homework to do. C．He could turn to his parents for help. D．He found it similar to English. 55．How is Spanish different from other languages for the author? A．It uses a host of simpler words. B．It leads to more misunderstanding. C．It has more difficult grammar rules. D．It allows him to better express feelings. 56．What does the author want to say in the last paragraph? A．He succeeded at the cost of hard work. B．Learning a language takes too much time. C．Spanish brings the happy past into his mind. D．He often misses the vacation spent in the UK. Passage 3 (24-25高一下·云南保山·期中) Last summer, I had an unbelievable chance to experience the Dai Water-Splashing Festival in Yunnan. The Water-Splashing Festival is the most important traditional festival for the Dai people, and it is a time to embrace the new year and wash away bad luck. Before the festival, the whole village was filled with a busy yet exciting atmosphere. People were cleaning their houses, painting the walls in bright colors, and making traditional handicrafts. The women were busy preparing special festival s like glutinous (黏的) rice cakes packaged in bamboo leaves. On the first day of the festival, a big parade was held. People dressed in their most beautiful traditional costumes, with men wearing turbans (长头巾) and women in long, colorful skirts. They paraded through the village, carrying dragon-head-shaped water containers. The music of elephant-foot drums filled the air, making the atmosphere even more lively. The most exciting part of the festival was the water-splashing activity. As the sun got higher in the sky, everyone rushed to the river with different tools. At first, people gently splashed water on each other as a greeting. But soon, it turned into a water-splashing battle. Everyone was laughing and screaming, running around to splash and be splashed. The water in the air shined under the sunlight, creating a beautiful and joyful scene. Even I, a foreign visitor, was quickly pulled into the fun. I was completely soaked within minutes, but I didn’t care at all. In the evening, there were also wonderful performances. Young men and women danced happily, showing off their traditional dance moves. The audience cheered and clapped, and the whole village was filled with happiness. 13．Why do the Dai people celebrate the Water-Splashing Festival? A．To honour a famous figure. B．To celebrate a good harvest. C．To display their traditional costumes. D．To welcome the new start and sweep away bad luck. 14．How did the women prepare for the festival? A．They made glutinous rice cakes. B．They cleaned the village streets. C．They played the elephant-foot drums. D．They carried dragon-head-shaped water containers. 15．What does the underlined word “soaked” in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A．Wet. B．Hurt. C．Tired. D．Puzzled. 16．What can we infer from the passage? A．The writer thinks the activities were simple. B．The Dai people spend much on their costumes. C．The Dai people are very friendly and open-minded. D．Young people care less about the Water-Splashing Festival. Passage 4 (24-25高一下·云南红河哈尼族彝族蒙自蒙自第一高级中学教育集团联考·期中) When I was growing up, being active was important. We tried many team sports like basketball, volleyball, soccer, and dance. Unluckily, it didn’t go on that way for long. There was a strict rule: if you start something, you have to finish it. Quitting used to be seen as a sign that they were giving up and hadn’t worked hard enough, but that’s not the case at all. Remember, there are reasons why kids quit sports, and it isn’t necessarily bad. You should find out if there is an underlying reason. Maybe they’re outgrowing the sport. Or maybe they’re interested in trying something new. But sometimes, people decide to quit because they feel really stressed out and burnt-out. Psychologısts Caıtlin Slavens and Chelsea Bodie recognise the difficulties parents face when deciding if they should support their children quitting their activity. “Parents usually have mixed feelings about how to deal with this. Many parents want to teach the importance of commitment and fear that allowing a child to quit suggests that giving up is acceptable, ” they say. Surely, being part of a team can help their brain develop better, feel good about themselves, and get along with others. But Slavens and Bodie encourage parents to consider both sides: “If parents continue to push their kids to continue a sport, it might cause problems. ” If your children are pushed too hard, they may feel overscheduled, which increases anxiety, stress, and sleep-related problems. They may have bad feelings for the sport overall. In my experience, because I was forced to continue on the dance team, I started to dislike everything related to dance. At the end of the day, if your children want to quit their sport, it can be okay to let them. Most of the time, they aren’t quitting the sport, they’re quitting situations that stress them emotionally. As parents, what we want most is for our kids to be happy and healthy. 25．Why does the author mention his own experience in the beginning? A．To introduce his idea. B．To raise a question. C．To explain a concept. D．To offer some advice. 26．What does the underlined word “commitment” in Paragraph 3 mean? A．Dealing with difficulties. B．Patience in doing sports. C．Keeping on putting in effort. D．Bravery in the face of fear, 27．How does the author feel about being in a sports team? A．It helps kids do well in school. B．It prevents kids having a good sleep. C．It makes kids love their parents more. D．It causes kids to lose interest in sport. 28．What is a suitable title for the text? A．Quitting Means Failure B．Give Your Children Choices C．Holding on Brings Success D．Take an Active Part in Sports 主题02 人与社会——社会活动、文化交流、人物贡献、公共服务 Passage 1 (24-25高一下·云南昭通一中教研联盟·期中) One person’s rubbish is another person’s literary treasure. In Ankara, Turkey, a group of rubbish collectors couldn’t help but notice a pattern — they kept finding books in the rubbish that they picked up around the city. Sad to see resources (资源) that could easily benefit others being thrown away, they came up with an idea. The workers created a library with the books they rescued from being sent to a landfill. The rubbish collectors began organizing the books in an underground brick factory. The place, which had long been deserted, was part of government buildings. Thanks to its aged brick front and long hallways, the space turned out to be perfect for a library. Once they sorted the books by type, the workers visited the library before and after their shifts (换班). Then, they began lending out books to their friends and families. As the library became more popular, the rubbish collectors finally opened things up to the public in 2017, and books began to be donated instead of being thrown out. With a collection of over 6,000 books, the library features (以……为特征) Turkish literature and story books. It also has a popular kid’s section with comic books and an entire section for scientific research. Ankara has books for people who speak another language, like English and French. Lately, they added a place to relax for readers and chess boards for visitors. The effort has reached beyond Ankara. Not only do the rubbish collectors take pride in the library— something many didn’t have the chance to use when they were young— but village school teachers from all over Turkey are asking for books from this project. 49．What did the rubbish collectors first notice about the books they found in the rubbish? A．They were rare first editions. B．They were all damaged beyond repair. C．They were mostly educational textbooks. D．They could be a valuable resource for others. 50．Where was the library set up? A．In a small village. B．In a deserted school. C．In an underground brick factory. D．In the rubbish collectors’ homes. 51．How do the rubbish collectors feel about their library project? A．Expectant. B．Proud. C．Embarrassed. D．Worried. 52．What would be the best title for the text? A．Rubbish Collectors’ Dream: A Free Library B．From Rubbish to Treasure: A Library’s Birth C．The Power of Recycling in Ankara D．A Unique Library in Turkey Passage 2 (24-25高一下·云南红河哈尼族彝族蒙自蒙自第一高级中学教育集团联考·期中) I grew up in a small town in Coahuila, Mexico. As a child, I dreamed of finding a good job in a big city. However, one visit to my grandmother’s home changed everything. There was a big yard next to her house. When I stood there, various plants and animals were around me. Just then, a thirst of knowing more of them filled my mind. From then on I spent more and more time in the yard, exploring and observing plants and animals. That curiosity towards nature became my guiding star and the thought of being a biologist began to form in my mind. My hometown had limited education choices for college degrees, so I applied to a university in Monterrey, Nuevo Leon. Getting my parents’ support was my first challenge — they were unsure where I was going to work as a wildlife biologist and thought it was not a safe choice. In a way, they were right. Finding such a job is not easy. For most jobs that require a lot of fieldwork, men were usually preferred over women due to cultural beliefs that women are more likely to be hurt. But my experience as a field scientist built my confidence and prove those ideas wrong. Honestly, I always had the fear of danger, but that did not stop me following my dream. Before becoming a mum, I heard that a successful woman in a science job shouldn’t have children. I never agree with that idea. After years of being a mum, I can say that it can be done. It is never easy, and takes a lot of efforts, but it is very worthwhile. My advice to young wildlife biologists: it is more important to know exactly what you do not want in your life than to know the exact things you want. Stay on the path and allow some flexibility (灵活) , and I promise you will be OK. 9．What drove the author to be a biologist? A．Her experience in a yard. B．Her love to her hometown. C．Her interest in star observation. D．Her awareness of animal protection. 10．What worried the author’s parents about her university choice? A．The distance from home. B．The quality of education. C．The difficulty of finding a job. D．The safety of living in campus. 11．What can we learn about the author from the third and fourth paragraphs? A．She is kind-hearted. B．She faces challenges fearlessly. C．She is quick-thinking. D．She shows no fear of danger. 12．What can young wildlife biologists learn from the author’s advice? A．Avoid wasting energy. B．Choose a right life path. C．Discover paths to success. D．Focus on what you really want. Passage 3 (24-25高一下·云南昆明第一中学·期中) When I call Sherry Pocknett for the first time, she’s on her way out the door to pick mushrooms. But then she invites me up to her restaurant, Sly Fox Den Too. Pocknett is one of the people best known for making indigenous (土著的) foods. Her restaurant, opened in 2021, is her own way of using her people’s knowledge to feed Americans today. And she hopes the menu shows the width and depth of indigenous foods. Pocknett’s menu is based on a simple idea: “The food I grew up with,” she says. She cooks what’s local and what’s in season. I watch Pocknett prepare venison (鹿肉) topped with onion (洋葱) rings, which, she admits, aren’t exactly a deep-rooted tradition; they’re “from a mix” , she says, “but I just love them.” Pocknett works on a reduction of beach plums (海滨李) to pair with the venison. To wash it all down, there are pots full of iced tea made from boiled sassafras (檫树) roots. Even if you’ve never heard of this common North American tree, you probably know the taste — it was long the key part in root beer. The meal recreates foods from a traditional festival in 1621. Restaurants specializing in Native American food are not so common — but a small number of indigenous cooks with great love are working to raise their profile (形象). Owamni, a restaurant in Minneapolis focuses on indigenous food, won the James Beard Foundation Award for Best New Restaurant in 2022. The Sioux Chef is a company working on indigenous foods, too. Its owner Sean Sherman and his team are working tirelessly toward the day when “people will find an indigenous restaurant easily in America, experiencing all the richness of the varied original American cultures.” 17．Which can best describe Pocknett’s offerings? A．Seasonal. B．Plant-based. C．High in price. D．Limited in variety. 18．What does the underlined phrase “wash it all down” probably refer to? A．Cooking the food with care. B．Picking all the plums on the tree. C．Getting the food down to the stomach. D．Washing the plums completely before cooking. 19．What can we infer about Pocknett from paragraph 3? A．She leaves food for the locals. B．She is very choosy about what she eats. C．She draws inspiration from local historical traditions. D．She is known for mixing indigenous and international tastes. 20．What does the author want to show by mentioning two restaurants in the last paragraph? A．The special culture passed on by famous Americans. B．The growing recognition and efforts of indigenous cooks. C．The cut-throat state of national cooking competitions. D．The popularity of indigenous restaurants outside America. Passage 4 (24-25高一下·云南昆明第八中学·期中) My wife isn’t a cat person. So when our daughter Flora started asking for a cat several years ago, my wife politely refused her requests and we didn’t give it a second thought. Flora, though shares some of my wife’s persistence, so she continued to ask for a cat repeatedly for several years. Then a couple of things happened that made as take a closer look at things. When we went to Flora’s parent-teacher conferences, the teacher first handed us an essay about how my daughter wanted a cat, and then an imaginary story about where she would like to go on vacation: Catville. It was then that my wife and I came to the realization that our daughter wasn’t just messing around here. And it was time for us to break down. But before we brought our new cat home, my wife sternly warned us that she was not going to be the one to take care of or clean up after the cat. Flora was going to take full responsibility. Fine, my daughter said. We welcomed our mini family member into the house right around Christmas. We named her Goldy. When we got her, she peed everywhere. But other than that, she was perfect. My tough-talking wife gradually fell in love with Goldy. And Goldy fell in love with her. Of course, it’s not just my wife who loves Goldy. We all do. There are so many things about that cat that absolutely brighten our life, highlighted by how she nearly bursts with affection (喜爱) when we come home or wake up in the moning. From the moment Goldy came into our house, it seemed unreasonable that we didn’t have a cat before then. We should have settled down to the decision much earlier. 21．What led the family to rethink about the idea of keeping a cat? A．The author’s promise. B．The teacher’s advice C．The wife’s expectation.

Her sister told her that being able to speak the language would make traveling to the popular tourist destination easier. “I imagined having a relaxing vacation in Bali, and quickly decided to study Indonesian at college,” Wang, 28, said. After graduating in 2020, she received an offer and joined the China Railway Beijing Group and was employed as a translator and interpreter for the railway. However, she faced a significant challenge, as she had little knowledge of railways, let alone the technical terms associated with them. Wang immersed herself in textbooks, learning about equipment, including rail tracks, and signals. In January 2021, she joined a group tasked with preparing for the railway to open. Her work had a tight schedule, high standards, and involved numerous railway terminologies. “At that time, I began to understand the importance of acquiring railway knowledge. As a railway interpreter, technical expertise is essential,” Wang said. In October 2021, Wang traveled to Indonesia to start work, and in addition to her desk duties, she served as an interpreter at conferences. Recalling her first international conference as an interpreter, she said her hands shook, and she struggled to hear herself speak. Afterward, she could barely recall what had taken place. Determined to overcome such challenges, she devoted herself to becoming familiar with the material in advance. For meetings the following day, she stayed up late the previous night to learn words not commonly used in business discussions. Now, Wang not only translates railway policies and other material, but also excels as an on-site interpreter at conferences. “As a translator and interpreter, I have witnessed many important moments for the railway,” she said. “I also feel extremely proud and happy when I see many passengers on the high-speed train applauding and cheering its smooth operation when it reaches a speed of 350 kilometers per hour.” Although she still hasn’t had the chance to visit Bali, she hopes that day will come soon. 29．What inspired Wang Zhechun to learn Indonesian?

Passage 6 (23-24高一下·云南曲靖麒麟区曲靖二中云师高级中学·期中) When Arsh was a young boy, his parents, Divya Pal and Sanjeev, signed him up for extracurricular activities such as piano, karate (空手道) and gymnastics, but he preferred art. When Arsh turned 8, he received a watercolor paint set as a birthday gift. He spent all his spare time painting. That’s how he started painting. Around the same time, Arsh often visited a local nursing home, where his mother works. Spending time there inspired him to start selling his art for a good cause. “I want to help people in need through my paintings,” he said. And so began his fundraising (筹款) program, which he called “Art by Arsh”. He sold his paintings at local art shows, restaurants and libraries, as well as on his Instagram account and Facebook page. He donated his first $1,000 to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in 2018, and has since reached various other charities. Arsh, now 12, mostly makes commissioned (委托创作的) pieces, and several of his customers have come back wanting more. That includes his neighbor, Jolene Schaver, who has five of Arsh’s creations hanging in her home and has bought many more for friends and family. “I was amazed at how talented he was at such a young age, without any formal training,” said Schaver. Along with selling his paintings to benefit nonprofit organizations, Arsh now also teaches art lessons at the local nursing home. And he thought about accessibility, and realized not all people have the resources (资源) to make art—which has the capacity to comfort and heal (治愈). “One of my future goals is to make art accessible for kids who want to express themselves,” Arsh said. He has already started offering free art lessons to local children, and he hopes to expand (扩展) his classes further in the future. 37．What do we know about the young Arsh according to the first paragraph? A．He received a painting as a birthday gift. B．He made a living through painting. C．He showed a lively interest in art. D．He got a place at an art school. 38．Why did Arsh start “Art by Arsh”? A．To raise money by selling his paintings. B．To introduce his paintings to more people. C．To donate some of his paintings to charities. D．To decorate local libraries with his paintings. 39．Which of the following best describes Arsh? A．Warm-hearted and humorous. B．Hard-working and honest. C．Gifted and generous. D．Kind and brave. 40．What does Arsh expect to do in the future? A．Form more nonprofit organizations. B．Learn more about the healing power of art. C．Do more voluntary work at the nursing home. D．Create more opportunities for kids to make art. Passage 7 (24-25高一下·云南保山腾冲第八中学·期中) When I was in my early teens, I was a huge fan of a local band. I saw them play many times, bought plenty of their posters and records, and was excited when I met them after shows. But as they grew and received more attention from the industry, they started making changes to their music. The rough edges(小缺点)that made them stand out were smoothed over. There wasn’t much left that I connected with. I watched as a band I loved turned into something I could hardly recognize. I didn’t know much about the music industry at the time, but it was clear to me that they were taking a huge risk. Many artists, understandably, think they will find more commercial success by eliminating any aspect of their music or image that someone might find objectionable(令人反感的). However, what is unobjectionable is also unremarkable. My experience made me think about what makes someone fall in love with a song or a band. It’s different for everyone, I’m sure, but I think one of the key factors that make an artist connect with a fan is realness. When artists write what they think people want to hear instead of what they want to express, they are missing out on points of connection that can turn a casual(偶然的)listener into a super fan. This experience also made me think about what role I wanted to play in the music industry. I knew by then that I didn’t have the talent to be an artist myself. But I loved learning about the music industry. I loved doing research on what makes an artist successful and why. When I listened to a new artist or saw a band play, I wanted to find out what made them special, protect it, and share it with the world. I eventually figured out that managers are the ones who are in the best position to achieve that. 45．How did the author feel when the band he loved changed its style? A．He was upset. B．He was carefree. C．He was hopeful of their success. D．He was confused about the reason. 46．What does the underline word “eliminating” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A．Making up for. B．Getting rid of. C．Making use of. D．Getting used to. 47．What does the author think helps artists win super fans? A．Having great talent. B．Being true to themselves. C．Writing songs people like. D．Communicating with listeners. 48．What might the author be now? A．A pop singer. B．A band director. C．An artist manager. D．An educational researcher. 主题03 人与自然——动物保护、生态修复、农业生态 Passage 1 (23-24高一下·云南昭通一中教研联盟·期中) On May 22,2021, the whole nation was saddened by the news that Chinese scientist Yuan Longping died. Dr Yuan Longping worked most of his life growing better rice. As a result of his research, the Chinese people are no longer worried about getting starved. His great work also helped the world produce more and more rice. Yuan, born on Sept.7,1930. After graduating from Southwest Agriculture College, he worked as a teacher at an agriculture school in Hunan. Several natural disasters hit China in the 1960s. Yuan, saw many people die of hunger every day. Since then, he has researched how to grow much better crops. In 1964, he happened to find a natural hybrid rice plant that had great advantages over others. Yuan was excited about his discovery. He then began to study the parts of this unusual plant. In 1973, he started to develop a type of hybrid rice species. It produced 20% more rice per unit than common ones. The seeding(种植)was very successful in the following year. This progress made China the world’s leader in rice production. More than 50% of China’s total rice fields grow Yuan’s hybrid species. People call him the “Father of Hybrid Rice”.

Passage 2 (24-25高一下·云南昭通镇雄县三校联考·) Adams Cassinga has had many identities: refugee (难民), journalist, mining consultant. And now, defender of wildlife. As a child, he was fascinated by, animals — gorillas living in the forests outside his hometown of Bukavu in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) — but his path to conservation was winding. His father, who feared Adams would be taken as a child soldier, sent him to South Africa. In Johannesburg, Adams learnt to survive on the streets while teaching himself English in public libraries. After he was granted official refugee status, he studied journalism and landed his first job working for a local newspaper. While working as an investigative reporter in 2016, Adams was shot three times! Adams changed career paths again, this time to work in the profitable mining industry in South Africa. In this role, he returned years later to the DRC to visit gold mines. One day, while flying to a gold mine in northeastern Congo, Adams saw the wounds of mining operations on the lush forest landscape. He began to think about the beauty of his country’s wild places and the struggle to protect them. After volunteering as an honorary ranger (护林人), Adams took his wildlife mission one big step further, founding Conserve Congo in 2020. Conserve Congo fights illegal hunting and trafficking (非法交易) through undercover investigations in pursuit of criminals in the illegal wildlife trade. With a team of volunteers including police officers, politicians and students, Adams steals into trafficking networks and conducts organized traps with the authorities. Adams places great value on winning over the hearts and minds of the police officers he works with. “They need to understand the reason behind what we do. We have to transform them into nature lovers. They can only protect what they know and love,” he says. It also partners with multiple national parks, helping to prevent illegal hunting, training volunteers to patrol the parks with rangers, and buying uniforms and other supplies for rangers. To date, the non-profit has worked on more than 6,000 criminal cases, rescued hundreds of trafficked animals from chimps to parrots, and seized tons of ivory and pangolin scales. 5．Why was Adams sent to South Africa by his father? A．To study journalism. B．To become a wildlife defender. C．To avoid being taken as a child soldier. D．To work in the mining industry. 6．What made Adams decide to change his career to wildlife conservation? A．His love for the mining landscape. B．Being shot as an investigative reporter. C．The profitable nature of the mining industry. D．Seeing the damage of mining operations to the forest. 7．How does Adams involve police officers in his conservation efforts?

In addition to getting an irremovable suntan (晒黑), she was left with memories of a beautiful experience with clear water and masses of colorful corals reef (珊瑚礁). However, due to climate change and human activities, the coral reef is reducing at an alarming rate and much of the breathtaking view of this reef has disappeared. “We started to grow corals near the Xisha Islands in 2010, and restored more than 200, 000 square meters of coral reefs,” Huang said. In 2004, when Huang was attending the 10th International Coral Reef Conference, she found herself the only person from the Chinese mainland. She said she felt sad but she made up her mind to strengthen communication with other countries to improve China’s level in coral research. She visited top coral research organizations in the US and Australia, establishing long-term partnership with some of the world’s top coral researchers. By far, Huang has worked on coral research and conservation for 22 years. Huang believes that making people be more ware of coral conservation matters most to the conservation of the coral reefs. “I want to call on more people to love nature and take part in the protection of ocean,” Huang said. “I am 50, and when I become 60, I hope that not only a coral island will be built but a sustainable development pattern (模式) will also be created,” said Huang. “The ideal state is that the coral island should be able to support fishermen and preserve the ecosystem,” she added. 33．What impressed Huang most when going diving near Xisha in 2002?

Tina Margason, a teacher in San Jose, CA, has linked literature and storytelling with their students’ growth experiences in creative ways. When her kindergartners read The Little Red Hen, they got excited about growing wheat to “help” the hen in the story. Discovering that wheat could be planted in the fall locally, they bought seeds from a health food store. Throughout the school year, they carefully observed and measured the wheat. Before summer vacation, they harvested the wheat and used store-bought wheat berries to make flour and bread. This hands-on project not only made the story come alive, but also taught them important values like patience and cooperation. After reading Planting a Rainbow, the students were eager to plant their own rainbow-themed garden. They gathered various flower seed packets, grouped them by color with the help of seed catalogs, and planned the garden carefully. They started seeds indoors and transplanted the seedlings in spring. Even though the daffodils, amaryllis and other flowers didn’t bloom all at once, the students were fascinated by each new color that emerged. They documented these changes in their journals. Through these projects, they truly understood that good things take time and patience. These garden-based learning activities not only enriched their knowledge but also cultivated their love for nature and learning. Moreover, the process of planning and problem-solving during the gardening projects improved their critical thinking skills. Whether it was deciding where to plant the flowers or dealing with unexpected growth issues, the students learned to think on their feet and find solutions independently. These experiences also encouraged peer-to-peer learning as students shared their observations and ideas, further deepening their understanding. 1．Why did Tina Margason’s kindergartners want to grow wheat? A．They related to the hen in The Little Red Hen. B．They desired a visit to their own wheat field. C．They had to follow the teacher’s suggestion. D．They felt happy to offer food to the school’s hens. 2．What did the students do for their rainbow-themed garden? A．They planted seeds directly outdoors. B．They sorted seeds accordingly by reference. C．They wrote diaries carefully under scientists’ guidance. D．They depended on experts regularly to settle problems. 3．What do these garden-based learning focus on? A．Process and practice. B．Interest and fame. C．Books and diets. D．Colors and designs. 4．What is the author’s attitude towards garden-based learning activities? A．Indifferent. B．Curious. C．Favorable. D．Unclear. 【答案】1．A 2．B 3．A 4．C 【难度】0.85 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了教师蒂娜・马加森通过将文学作品与学生的种植体验相结合，开展了一系列基于花园的学习活动，培养了学生多方面的能力。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段第一句“When her kindergartners read The Little Red Hen, they got excited about growing wheat to “help” the hen in the story.(当她的幼儿园学生读《小红母鸡》时，他们对种植小麦来“帮助”故事中的母鸡感到很兴奋)”可知，蒂娜・马加森的幼儿园学生想种小麦是因为他们对《小红母鸡》中的母鸡感同身受，想要帮助它。故选A项。 2．细节理解题。根据第三段第一、二句“After reading Planting a Rainbow, the students were eager to plant their own rainbow-themed garden. They gathered various flower seed packets, grouped them by color with the help of seed catalogs, and planned the garden carefully. (读完《种植彩虹》后，学生们渴望种植自己的彩虹主题花园。他们收集了各种花种包，在种子目录的帮助下按颜色对它们进行分组，并仔细规划了花园)”可知，学生们为了他们的彩虹主题花园，参考种子目录对种子进行了相应的分类。故选B项。 3．推理判断题。纵览全文，学生们在种植小麦和打造彩虹主题花园的过程中，从观察、测量、播种、移植到记录变化，经历了整个过程，并且在这个过程中学习知识、培养耐心、合作等品质，还锻炼了解决问题的能力。由此可知，这些基于花园的学习活动注重过程和实践。故选A项。 4．推理判断题。根据最后一段第二、三句“These garden-based learning activities not only enriched their knowledge but also cultivated their love for nature and learning. Moreover, the process of planning and problem-solving during the gardening projects improved their critical thinking skills. (这些基于花园的学习活动不仅丰富了他们的知识，还培养了他们对自然和学习的热爱。此外，在园艺项目中的规划和解决问题的过程提高了他们的批判性思维能力)”以及最后一句“These experiences also encouraged peer-to-peer learning as students shared their observations and ideas, further deepening their understanding. (这些经历还鼓励了同伴之间的学习，因为学生们分享了他们的观察和想法，进一步加深了他们的理解)”可知，作者认为这些基于花园的学习活动对学生有很多积极的影响，所以作者对这些活动持支持的态度。故选C项。 Passage 2 (24-25高一下·云南楚雄·期中) I began learning languages at the age of five, when my parents sent me to an after-school French class at my primary school. My parents, who speak English, stressed using different languages at home — even Grandpa could speak a foreign language! I don’t remember much from those early classes, aside from learning different colours and days of the week over and over, but I do know that it was during these moments that I first discovered the joy of journeying away from my surroundings with words. Because in French class it was easy to imagine we were somewhere else, away-far away-from the present, which was a really attractive idea to a young child with a wild imagination. I stuck with French as I grew up; it was one of those strong relationships that provides comfort. It wasn’t until I began learning Spanish (西班牙语) at age 11 that I experienced a more transformative (变化的) relationship with languages. Looking back, it strikes me that Spanish, for me, was always about feelings. At the beginning the focus was on learning words and grammar to describe how I was feeling, but I somehow ended up with a language that helped me express myself better than my native language. After years of studying Spanish at school, and living in Spain, my Spanish came to match, and perhaps even exceed (超过), my English. Despite having returned to the UK ten years ago, now I still often find myself stuck in English conversations, unable to express a thought or feeling with quite the same depth as I would be able to in Spanish. Spanish affords me another kind of liveliness. I’m not just “in love”. To me, “te echo de menos” houses more feeling than “I miss you,” which takes me back to a time in my life that I miss a lot. 53．What is the author’s native language? A．French. B．English. C．Spanish. D．Chinese. 54．Why did the author feel enjoyable in French class? A．He could picture an amazing world. B．He had no homework to do. C．He could turn to his parents for help. D．He found it similar to English. 55．How is Spanish different from other languages for the author? A．It uses a host of simpler words. B．It leads to more misunderstanding. C．It has more difficult grammar rules. D．It allows him to better express feelings. 56．What does the author want to say in the last paragraph? A．He succeeded at the cost of hard work. B．Learning a language takes too much time. C．Spanish brings the happy past into his mind. D．He often misses the vacation spent in the UK. 【答案】53．B 54．A 55．D 56．C 【难度】0.85 【导语】本文为一篇记叙文，作者回顾了学习法语和西班牙语的心路历程，表达了其对西班牙语的热爱之情。 53．推理判断题。根据文章第一段“My parents, who speak English, stressed using different languages at home — even Grandpa could speak a foreign language!(我的父母说英语，他们强调在家里使用不同的语言——甚至爷爷也会说外语！)”及倒数第二段“Despite having returned to the UK ten years ago, now I still often find myself stuck in English conversations, unable to express a thought or feeling with quite the same depth as I would be able to in Spanish.(尽管我十年前回到了英国，但现在我仍然经常发现自己陷入英语对话中，无法像用西班牙语那样有深度地表达思想或感觉)”可推知，作者的父母都说英语，家乡在英国，因此，作者的母语是英语。故选B。 54．细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Because in French class it was easy to imagine we were somewhere else, away-far away-from the present, which was a really attractive idea to a young child with a wild imagination.(因为在法语课上很容易想象我们在别的地方，离现在很远很远，这对一个想象力丰富的孩子来说是一个很有吸引力的想法)”可知，作者在法语课上感到快乐是因为可以想象一个美好的世界。故选A。 55．细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Looking back, it strikes me that Spanish, for me, was always about feelings. At the beginning the focus was on learning words and grammar to describe how I was feeling, but I somehow ended up with a language that helped me express myself better than my native language.(现在回想起来，我发现西班牙语对我来说，总是关乎感情。一开始的重点是学习单词和语法来描述我的感受，但不知怎么的，我最终学会了一种比我的母语更能帮助我表达自己的语言)”可知，作者觉得西班牙语和其他语言不同是由于西班牙语能让自己更好地表达感情。故选D。 56．推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Spanish affords me another kind of liveliness. I’m not just “in love”. To me, “te echo de menos” houses more feeling than “I miss you,” which takes me back to a time in my life that I miss a lot.(西班牙语给了我另一种活力。我不仅仅是“爱上了”。对我来说，“te echo de menos（我想念你）”比“我想你”更有感觉，它把我带回了我生命中一个我非常想念的时间)”可知，作者觉得西班牙语更能表达自己的感受，能带作者想起愉快的过去。故选C。 Passage 3 (24-25高一下·云南保山·期中) Last summer, I had an unbelievable chance to experience the Dai Water-Splashing Festival in Yunnan. The Water-Splashing Festival is the most important traditional festival for the Dai people, and it is a time to embrace the new year and wash away bad luck. Before the festival, the whole village was filled with a busy yet exciting atmosphere. People were cleaning their houses, painting the walls in bright colors, and making traditional handicrafts. The women were busy preparing special festival s like glutinous (黏的) rice cakes packaged in bamboo leaves. On the first day of the festival, a big parade was held. People dressed in their most beautiful traditional costumes, with men wearing turbans (长头巾) and women in long, colorful skirts. They paraded through the village, carrying dragon-head-shaped water containers. The music of elephant-foot drums filled the air, making the atmosphere even more lively. The most exciting part of the festival was the water-splashing activity. As the sun got higher in the sky, everyone rushed to the river with different tools. At first, people gently splashed water on each other as a greeting. But soon, it turned into a water-splashing battle. Everyone was laughing and screaming, running around to splash and be splashed. The water in the air shined under the sunlight, creating a beautiful and joyful scene. Even I, a foreign visitor, was quickly pulled into the fun. I was completely soaked within minutes, but I didn’t care at all. In the evening, there were also wonderful performances. Young men and women danced happily, showing off their traditional dance moves. The audience cheered and clapped, and the whole village was filled with happiness. 13．Why do the Dai people celebrate the Water-Splashing Festival? A．To honour a famous figure. B．To celebrate a good harvest. C．To display their traditional costumes. D．To welcome the new start and sweep away bad luck. 14．How did the women prepare for the festival? A．They made glutinous rice cakes. B．They cleaned the village streets. C．They played the elephant-foot drums. D．They carried dragon-head-shaped water containers. 15．What does the underlined word “soaked” in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A．Wet. B．Hurt. C．Tired. D．Puzzled. 16．What can we infer from the passage? A．The writer thinks the activities were simple. B．The Dai people spend much on their costumes. C．The Dai people are very friendly and open-minded. D．Young people care less about the Water-Splashing Festival. 【答案】13．D 14．A 15．A 16．C 【难度】0.85 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者去年夏天在云南体验傣族泼水节的难忘经历。 13．细节理解题。根据文章第一段“The Water-Splashing Festival is the most important traditional festival for the Dai people, and it is a time to embrace the new year and wash away bad luck.( 泼水节是傣族最重要的传统节日，也是迎接新年、洗去霉运的日子。)”可知，傣族庆祝泼水节的原因是迎接新年和洗去厄运。故选D。 14．细节理解题。根据文章第二段“The women were busy preparing special festival s like glutinous (黏的) rice cakes packaged in bamboo leaves.(妇女们忙着准备特殊的节日食品，比如用竹叶包装的糯米年糕。)”可知，妇女用竹叶包的糯米糕为节日做准备。故选A。 15．词句猜测题。前文提到泼水节大家互相泼水，再根据划线词前句“Even I, a foreign visitor, was quickly pulled into the fun.(即使是我，一个外国游客，也很快被拉进了乐趣中。)”可知，作者也参与其中，在这种互相泼水的情境下，作者就全身湿透了。从而推测出soaked的意思是“湿透”。故选A。 16．推理判断题。根据第四段“Even I, a foreign visitor, was quickly pulled into the fun. (即使是我，一个外国游客，也很快被拉进了乐趣中。)”可知，作者作为外来游客，很快被拉进泼水的欢乐中，这一情节可以合理推断出傣族人友好且思想开放，欢迎外来者参与到他们的节日活动中。故选C。 Passage 4 (24-25高一下·云南红河哈尼族彝族蒙自蒙自第一高级中学教育集团联考·期中) When I was growing up, being active was important. We tried many team sports like basketball, volleyball, soccer, and dance. Unluckily, it didn’t go on that way for long. There was a strict rule: if you start something, you have to finish it. Quitting used to be seen as a sign that they were giving up and hadn’t worked hard enough, but that’s not the case at all. Remember, there are reasons why kids quit sports, and it isn’t necessarily bad. You should find out if there is an underlying reason. Maybe they’re outgrowing the sport. Or maybe they’re interested in trying something new. But sometimes, people decide to quit because they feel really stressed out and burnt-out. Psychologısts Caıtlin Slavens and Chelsea Bodie recognise the difficulties parents face when deciding if they should support their children quitting their activity. “Parents usually have mixed feelings about how to deal with this. Many parents want to teach the importance of commitment and fear that allowing a child to quit suggests that giving up is acceptable, ” they say. Surely, being part of a team can help their brain develop better, feel good about themselves, and get along with others. But Slavens and Bodie encourage parents to consider both sides: “If parents continue to push their kids to continue a sport, it might cause problems. ” If your children are pushed too hard, they may feel overscheduled, which increases anxiety, stress, and sleep-related problems. They may have bad feelings for the sport overall. In my experience, because I was forced to continue on the dance team, I started to dislike everything related to dance. At the end of the day, if your children want to quit their sport, it can be okay to let them. Most of the time, they aren’t quitting the sport, they’re quitting situations that stress them emotionally. As parents, what we want most is for our kids to be happy and healthy. 25．Why does the author mention his own experience in the beginning? A．To introduce his idea. B．To raise a question. C．To explain a concept. D．To offer some advice. 26．What does the underlined word “commitment” in Paragraph 3 mean? A．Dealing with difficulties. B．Patience in doing sports. C．Keeping on putting in effort. D．Bravery in the face of fear, 27．How does the author feel about being in a sports team? A．It helps kids do well in school. B．It prevents kids having a good sleep. C．It makes kids love their parents more. D．It causes kids to lose interest in sport. 28．What is a suitable title for the text? A．Quitting Means Failure B．Give Your Children Choices C．Holding on Brings Success D．Take an Active Part in Sports 【答案】25．A 26．C 27．D 28．B 【难度】0.65 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者儿时积极参与多种团队运动，受“开始就不应放弃”观念影响。但孩子退出运动有其原因，不一定是坏事，可能因不适合、想尝试新事物或压力大。心理学家发现家长在孩子退出运动问题上有困扰，既想教导坚持，又可能因强迫孩子而带来焦虑等问题。作者认为孩子想退出运动时家长可允许，因为孩子或许是要摆脱情绪紧张的状况，家长最期望孩子开心健康。 25．推理判断题。根据第一段“When I was growing up, being active was important. We tried many team sports like basketball, volleyball, soccer, and dance. Unluckily, it didn’t go on that way for long. There was a strict rule: if you start something, you have to finish it. Quitting used to be seen as a sign that they were giving up and hadn’t worked hard enough, but that’s not the case at all.( 在我成长的过程中，保持活跃是很重要的。我们尝试了许多团队运动，如篮球、排球、足球和舞蹈。不幸的是，这种情况并没有持续太久。有一个严格的规则：如果你开始做一件事，你必须完成它。过去，辞职被认为是他们放弃了，工作不够努力的标志，但事实并非如此。)”可知，作者开篇讲述自己小时候积极参与团队运动，后因严格规定必须坚持而不能放弃的经历，接着引出下文关于孩子退出运动这一现象的讨论，其目的是通过自身经历引入自己的观点，即孩子退出运动不一定是坏事，不应一概而论地认为退出就是放弃。故选A项。 26．词义猜测题。根据第三段中“Many parents want to teach the importance of … and fear that allowing a child to quit suggests that giving up is acceptable…(许多父母想让孩子知道……的重要性，并担心允许孩子放弃意味着放弃是可以接受的。)”结合前文提到的过去人们认为放弃是不好的，孩子开始做一件事就必须完成，可知家长们想教导孩子坚持努力的重要性，害怕允许孩子退出会让孩子觉得放弃是可以接受的，所以“commitment”在这里意为 “持续投入努力”，和C选项Keeping on putting in effort“继续努力”意思相近。故选C项。 27．推理判断题。根据第四段中“In my experience, because I was forced to continue on the dance team, I started to dislike everything related to dance.( 在我的经历中，因为我被迫继续留在舞蹈队，我开始不喜欢与舞蹈有关的一切。)”以及“If your children are pushed too hard, they may feel overscheduled, which increases anxiety, stress, and sleep - related problems. They may have bad feelings for the sport overall.( 如果你的孩子被逼得太紧，他们可能会觉得日程安排得太紧，这会增加焦虑、压力和睡眠相关问题。他们可能对这项运动有不好的感觉。)” 可知，作者认为如果孩子被强迫留在运动队，可能会导致他们对这项运动失去兴趣。故选D项。 28．主旨大意题。根据文章大意以及最后一段“At the end of the day, if your children want to quit their sport, it can be okay to let them. Most of the time, they aren’t quitting the sport, they’re quitting situations that stress them emotionally. As parents, what we want most is for our kids to be happy and healthy.( 在一天结束的时候，如果你的孩子想退出他们的运动，可以让他们退出。大多数时候，他们并不是放弃这项运动，而是放弃那些给他们带来情绪压力的情况。作为父母，我们最希望的是我们的孩子快乐和健康。)”可知，文章主要围绕孩子退出运动这一话题展开，强调孩子退出运动不一定是坏事，父母不应强迫孩子坚持，而应该给予孩子选择的权利，尊重孩子的意愿，让孩子开心健康成长。B选项“Give Your Children Choices”（给你的孩子选择）符合文章主旨，适合作为文章的标题。故选B项。 主题02 人与社会——社会活动、文化交流、人物贡献、公共服务 Passage 1 (24-25高一下·云南昭通一中教研联盟·期中) One person’s rubbish is another person’s literary treasure. In Ankara, Turkey, a group of rubbish collectors couldn’t help but notice a pattern — they kept finding books in the rubbish that they picked up around the city. Sad to see resources (资源) that could easily benefit others being thrown away, they came up with an idea. The workers created a library with the books they rescued from being sent to a landfill. The rubbish collectors began organizing the books in an underground brick factory. The place, which had long been deserted, was part of government buildings. Thanks to its aged brick front and long hallways, the space turned out to be perfect for a library. Once they sorted the books by type, the workers visited the library before and after their shifts (换班). Then, they began lending out books to their friends and families. As the library became more popular, the rubbish collectors finally opened things up to the public in 2017, and books began to be donated instead of being thrown out. With a collection of over 6,000 books, the library features (以……为特征) Turkish literature and story books. It also has a popular kid’s section with comic books and an entire section for scientific research. Ankara has books for people who speak another language, like English and French. Lately, they added a place to relax for readers and chess boards for visitors. The effort has reached beyond Ankara. Not only do the rubbish collectors take pride in the library— something many didn’t have the chance to use when they were young— but village school teachers from all over Turkey are asking for books from this project. 49．What did the rubbish collectors first notice about the books they found in the rubbish? A．They were rare first editions. B．They were all damaged beyond repair. C．They were mostly educational textbooks. D．They could be a valuable resource for others. 50．Where was the library set up? A．In a small village. B．In a deserted school. C．In an underground brick factory. D．In the rubbish collectors’ homes. 51．How do the rubbish collectors feel about their library project? A．Expectant. B．Proud. C．Embarrassed. D．Worried. 52．What would be the best title for the text? A．Rubbish Collectors’ Dream: A Free Library B．From Rubbish to Treasure: A Library’s Birth C．The Power of Recycling in Ankara D．A Unique Library in Turkey 【答案】49．D 50．C 51．B 52．B 【难度】0.85 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了土耳其的垃圾收集者用从垃圾中抢救出来的书籍创建图书馆的故事。 49．细节理解题。根据第一段中“In Ankara, Turkey, a group of rubbish collectors couldn’t help but notice a pattern — they kept finding books in the rubbish that they picked up around the city. Sad to see resources (资源) that could easily benefit others being thrown away, they came up with an idea. (在土耳其安卡拉，一群垃圾收集者不禁注意到了一个模式——他们不断地在城市周围捡到的垃圾中找到书籍。悲伤地看到可以轻易造福他人的资源被扔掉，他们想出了一个主意。)”可知，垃圾收集者注意到他们在城市中捡起的垃圾中不断发现书籍，他们认为这些书籍可以很容易地惠及他人，即他们认为这些书可能成为其他人的宝贵资源。故选D。 50．细节理解题。根据第二段中“The rubbish collectors began organizing the books in an underground brick factory. (垃圾收集者开始在地下砖厂整理书籍。)”可知，图书馆建在地下砖厂内。故选C。 51．细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Not only do the rubbish collectors take pride in the library (垃圾收集者不仅为图书馆感到自豪)”可知，垃圾收集者们对他们的图书馆项目感到非常自豪。故选B。 52．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“One person’s rubbish is another person’s literary treasure. In Ankara, Turkey, a group of rubbish collectors couldn’t help but notice a pattern — they kept finding books in the rubbish that they picked up around the city. Sad to see resources (资源) that could easily benefit others being thrown away, they came up with an idea. The workers created a library with the books they rescued from being sent to a landfill.(一个人的垃圾是另一个人的文学瑰宝。在土耳其安卡拉，一群垃圾收集者不禁注意到了一个模式——他们不断地在城市周围捡到的垃圾中找到书籍。悲伤地看到可以轻易造福他人的资源被扔掉，他们想出了一个主意。工人们用从垃圾填埋场抢救出来的书籍创建了一个图书馆。)”可知，文章讲述了垃圾收集者们如何将废弃的书籍变成宝贵的资源，创建了一个图书馆。因此，标题“从垃圾到宝藏：图书馆的诞生”最能概括文章的主题和内容。故选B。 Passage 2 (24-25高一下·云南红河哈尼族彝族蒙自蒙自第一高级中学教育集团联考·期中) I grew up in a small town in Coahuila, Mexico. As a child, I dreamed of finding a good job in a big city. However, one visit to my grandmother’s home changed everything. There was a big yard next to her house. When I stood there, various plants and animals were around me. Just then, a thirst of knowing more of them filled my mind. From then on I spent more and more time in the yard, exploring and observing plants and animals. That curiosity towards nature became my guiding star and the thought of being a biologist began to form in my mind. My hometown had limited education choices for college degrees, so I applied to a university in Monterrey, Nuevo Leon. Getting my parents’ support was my first challenge — they were unsure where I was going to work as a wildlife biologist and thought it was not a safe choice. In a way, they were right. Finding such a job is not easy. For most jobs that require a lot of fieldwork, men were usually preferred over women due to cultural beliefs that women are more likely to be hurt. But my experience as a field scientist built my confidence and prove those ideas wrong. Honestly, I always had the fear of danger, but that did not stop me following my dream. Before becoming a mum, I heard that a successful woman in a science job shouldn’t have children. I never agree with that idea. After years of being a mum, I can say that it can be done. It is never easy, and takes a lot of efforts, but it is very worthwhile. My advice to young wildlife biologists: it is more important to know exactly what you do not want in your life than to know the exact things you want. Stay on the path and allow some flexibility (灵活) , and I promise you will be OK. 9．What drove the author to be a biologist? A．Her experience in a yard. B．Her love to her hometown. C．Her interest in star observation. D．Her awareness of animal protection. 10．What worried the author’s parents about her university choice? A．The distance from home. B．The quality of education. C．The difficulty of finding a job. D．The safety of living in campus. 11．What can we learn about the author from the third and fourth paragraphs? A．She is kind-hearted. B．She faces challenges fearlessly. C．She is quick-thinking. D．She shows no fear of danger. 12．What can young wildlife biologists learn from the author’s advice? A．Avoid wasting energy. B．Choose a right life path. C．Discover paths to success. D．Focus on what you really want. 【答案】9．A 10．C 11．B 12．B 【难度】0.65 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者在墨西哥小镇长大，原本梦想在大城市找好工作，在祖母家的经历让她立志成为生物学家。最后，她建议年轻野生生物学家明确不想做的事，坚持并保持灵活性。 9．细节理解题。根据第一段中“When I stood there, various plants and animals were around me. Just then, a thirst of knowing more of them filled my mind. From then on I spent more and more time in the yard, exploring and observing plants and animals. That curiosity towards nature became my guiding star and the thought of being a biologist began to form in my mind.(当我站在那里时，我周围有各种各样的植物和动物。就在那时，一种想要更多了解他们的渴望充满了我的脑海。从那时起，我花了越来越多的时间在院子里，探索和观察植物和动物。对自然的好奇心成为我的指路明灯，成为一名生物学家的想法开始在我的脑海中形成。)” 可知，作者在祖母家院子里，周围的各种动植物让她产生了想要了解它们的渴望，对自然的好奇成为了她的指路明灯，想成为生物学家的想法开始在她脑海中形成。所以是在院子里的经历驱使作者想成为生物学家。故选A项。 10．细节理解题。根据第二段中“Getting my parents’ support was my first challenge — they were unsure where I was going to work as a wildlife biologist and thought it was not a safe choice. In a way, they were right. Finding such a job is not easy.”(获得父母的支持是我面临的第一个挑战——作为一名野生生物学家，他们不确定我要去哪里工作，认为这不是一个安全的选择。在某种程度上，他们是对的。找这样的工作不容易。)”可知，父母不确定作者作为野生动物生物学家会在哪里工作，认为在这个领域找工作更困难，即担心作者在这个领域找工作的难度。故选C项。 11．推理判断题。根据第三段中“For most jobs that require a lot of fieldwork, men were usually preferred over women due to cultural beliefs that women are more likely to be hurt.(对于大多数需要大量实地考察的工作，男性通常比女性更受青睐，因为文化信仰认为女性更容易受到伤害。)”以及“Honestly, I always had the fear of danger, but that did not stop me following my dream.(老实说，我总是害怕危险，但这并没有阻止我追求我的梦想。)”以及第四段中 “Before becoming a mum, I heard that a successful woman in a science job shouldn't have children. I never agree with that idea.(在成为母亲之前，我听说从事科学工作的成功女性不应该生孩子。我从来不同意那个想法。)”可以看出作者在找工作和成为母亲方面都面临一些困难和观念上的阻碍，但她不畏惧这些挑战，坚持追求自己的梦想，B 选项“她无畏地面对挑战”正确。故选B项。 12．推理判断题。根据最后一段“My advice to young wildlife biologists: it is more important to know exactly what you do not want in your life than to know the exact things you want. Stay on the path and allow some flexibility (灵活) , and I promise you will be OK.(我对年轻的野生生物学家的建议是：确切地知道你在生活中不想要什么比确切地知道你想要什么更重要。坚持下去，允许一些灵活性，我保证你是可以的。)”可知，作者建议年轻的野生生物学家要明确自己生活中不想要的东西，坚持自己的道路并保持一定的灵活性，也就是要选择正确的人生道路。故选B项。 Passage 3 (24-25高一下·云南昆明第一中学·期中) When I call Sherry Pocknett for the first time, she’s on her way out the door to pick mushrooms. But then she invites me up to her restaurant, Sly Fox Den Too. Pocknett is one of the people best known for making indigenous (土著的) foods. Her restaurant, opened in 2021, is her own way of using her people’s knowledge to feed Americans today. And she hopes the menu shows the width and depth of indigenous foods. Pocknett’s menu is based on a simple idea: “The food I grew up with,” she says. She cooks what’s local and what’s in season. I watch Pocknett prepare venison (鹿肉) topped with onion (洋葱) rings, which, she admits, aren’t exactly a deep-rooted tradition; they’re “from a mix” , she says, “but I just love them.” Pocknett works on a reduction of beach plums (海滨李) to pair with the venison. To wash it all down, there are pots full of iced tea made from boiled sassafras (檫树) roots. Even if you’ve never heard of this common North American tree, you probably know the taste — it was long the key part in root beer. The meal recreates foods from a traditional festival in 1621. Restaurants specializing in Native American food are not so common — but a small number of indigenous cooks with great love are working to raise their profile (形象). Owamni, a restaurant in Minneapolis focuses on indigenous food, won the James Beard Foundation Award for Best New Restaurant in 2022. The Sioux Chef is a company working on indigenous foods, too. Its owner Sean Sherman and his team are working tirelessly toward the day when “people will find an indigenous restaurant easily in America, experiencing all the richness of the varied original American cultures.” 17．Which can best describe Pocknett’s offerings? A．Seasonal. B．Plant-based. C．High in price. D．Limited in variety. 18．What does the underlined phrase “wash it all down” probably refer to? A．Cooking the food with care. B．Picking all the plums on the tree. C．Getting the food down to the stomach. D．Washing the plums completely before cooking. 19．What can we infer about Pocknett from paragraph 3? A．She leaves food for the locals. B．She is very choosy about what she eats. C．She draws inspiration from local historical traditions. D．She is known for mixing indigenous and international tastes. 20．What does the author want to show by mentioning two restaurants in the last paragraph? A．The special culture passed on by famous Americans. B．The growing recognition and efforts of indigenous cooks. C．The cut-throat state of national cooking competitions. D．The popularity of indigenous restaurants outside America. 【答案】17．A 18．C 19．C 20．B 【难度】0.65 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了土著厨师Sherry Pocknett开设餐厅推广土著美食及相关情况。 17．细节理解题。根据第二段中“She cooks what’s local and what’s in season.(她烹饪当地和当季的食物)”可知，Pocknett提供的菜品是当季的。故选A。 18．词句猜测题。根据第三段中“Pocknett works on a reduction of beach plums to pair with the venison.(波克内特正在减少沙滩李子的数量来搭配鹿肉)”及“To wash it all down, there are pots full of iced tea made from boiled sassafras (檫树) roots.(为了wash it all down，这里有用煮过的檫树根制成的满满几壶冰茶)”以及前文提到的准备食物，可推测“wash it all down”在此处的意思是“将食物咽下肚”，即“把食物吃下去，喝点什么帮助吞咽”。故选C。 19．推理判断题。根据第三段中“The meal recreates foods from a traditional festival in 1621.(这顿饭再现了1621年一个传统节日上的食物)”可知，Pocknett从当地的历史传统中汲取灵感。故选C。 20．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Restaurants specializing in Native American food are not so common — but a small number of indigenous cooks with great love are working to raise their profile (形象).(专门经营美洲原住民美食的餐厅并不常见，但一些热爱这一行业的土著厨师正在努力提高他们的知名度)”以及下文对两家餐厅的举例，可推测作者在最后一段提到两家餐厅是为了展示土著厨师日益得到认可和他们所做的努力。故选B。 Passage 4 (24-25高一下·云南昆明第八中学·期中) My wife isn’t a cat person. So when our daughter Flora started asking for a cat several years ago, my wife politely refused her requests and we didn’t give it a second thought.

When we went to Flora’s parent-teacher conferences, the teacher first handed us an essay about how my daughter wanted a cat, and then an imaginary story about where she would like to go on vacation: Catville. It was then that my wife and I came to the realization that our daughter wasn’t just messing around here. And it was time for us to break down. But before we brought our new cat home, my wife sternly warned us that she was not going to be the one to take care of or clean up after the cat. Flora was going to take full responsibility. Fine, my daughter said. We welcomed our mini family member into the house right around Christmas. We named her Goldy. When we got her, she peed everywhere. But other than that, she was perfect. My tough-talking wife gradually fell in love with Goldy. And Goldy fell in love with her. Of course, it’s not just my wife who loves Goldy. We all do. There are so many things about that cat that absolutely brighten our life, highlighted by how she nearly bursts with affection (喜爱) when we come home or wake up in the moning. From the moment Goldy came into our house, it seemed unreasonable that we didn’t have a cat before then. We should have settled down to the decision much earlier. 21．What led the family to rethink about the idea of keeping a cat? A．The author’s promise. B．The teacher’s advice C．The wife’s expectation. D．The daughter’s effort. 22．What does the underlined word “sternly” mean in Paragraph 3? A．Serously. B．Curiously. C．Anxiously. D．Ambitiously. 23．What kinad ot person is theauthor’s wife?

Flora was going to take full responsibility.(她警告我们，她不会是那个照顾或清理猫的人。弗洛拉会承担全部责任)”以及第四段中的“My tough-talking wife gradually fell in love with Goldy.(我说话强硬的妻子渐渐爱上了戈尔迪)”可知，妻子刚开始强调自己坚决不碰猫，要女儿自己负责照顾猫，因此妻子的态度是坚定且严肃的。由此可知，划线词sternly与serously“严肃地”。故选A。 23．推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Flora was going to take full responsibility.(弗洛拉会承担全部责任)”及第四段中的“My tough-talking wife gradually fell in love with Goldy.(我说话强硬的妻子渐渐爱上了戈尔迪)”可知，妻子在同意养猫时给女儿立下了规矩，在养猫后自己也爱上了小猫。由此推知，作者的妻子是有原则且有爱心的。故选B。 24．主旨大意题。根据最后一段“We should have settled down to the decision much earlier.(我们本应该更早地作出决定)”可知，一家人都爱上了这只小猫，并且后悔为何没有早一些将猫带回家。由此可知，C项“Best Decision Ever.(最好的决定)”适合作本文最佳标题。故选C。 Passage 5 (23-24高二下·云南三新教研联合体·) Wang Zhechun majored in Indonesian at college because of her love for Bali. Her sister told her that being able to speak the language would make traveling to the popular tourist destination easier. “I imagined having a relaxing vacation in Bali, and quickly decided to study Indonesian at college,” Wang, 28, said. After graduating in 2020, she received an offer and joined the China Railway Beijing Group and was employed as a translator and interpreter for the railway. However, she faced a significant challenge, as she had little knowledge of railways, let alone the technical terms associated with them. Wang immersed herself in textbooks, learning about equipment, including rail tracks, and signals. In January 2021, she joined a group tasked with preparing for the railway to open. Her work had a tight schedule, high standards, and involved numerous railway terminologies. “At that time, I began to understand the importance of acquiring railway knowledge. As a railway interpreter, technical expertise is essential,” Wang said. In October 2021, Wang traveled to Indonesia to start work, and in addition to her desk duties, she served as an interpreter at conferences. Recalling her first international conference as an interpreter, she said her hands shook, and she struggled to hear herself speak. Afterward, she could barely recall what had taken place. Determined to overcome such challenges, she devoted herself to becoming familiar with the material in advance. For meetings the following day, she stayed up late the previous night to learn words not commonly used in business discussions. Now, Wang not only translates railway policies and other material, but also excels as an on-site interpreter at conferences. “As a translator and interpreter, I have witnessed many important moments for the railway,” she said. “I also feel extremely proud and happy when I see many passengers on the high-speed train applauding and cheering its smooth operation when it reaches a speed of 350 kilometers per hour.” Although she still hasn’t had the chance to visit Bali, she hopes that day will come soon. 29．What inspired Wang Zhechun to learn Indonesian?

When Arsh turned 8, he received a watercolor paint set as a birthday gift. He spent all his spare time painting. That’s how he started painting. Around the same time, Arsh often visited a local nursing home, where his mother works. Spending time there inspired him to start selling his art for a good cause. “I want to help people in need through my paintings,” he said. And so began his fundraising (筹款) program, which he called “Art by Arsh”. He sold his paintings at local art shows, restaurants and libraries, as well as on his Instagram account and Facebook page. He donated his first $1,000 to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in 2018, and has since reached various other charities. Arsh, now 12, mostly makes commissioned (委托创作的) pieces, and several of his customers have come back wanting more. That includes his neighbor, Jolene Schaver, who has five of Arsh’s creations hanging in her home and has bought many more for friends and family. “I was amazed at how talented he was at such a young age, without any formal training,” said Schaver. Along with selling his paintings to benefit nonprofit organizations, Arsh now also teaches art lessons at the local nursing home. And he thought about accessibility, and realized not all people have the resources (资源) to make art—which has the capacity to comfort and heal (治愈). “One of my future goals is to make art accessible for kids who want to express themselves,” Arsh said. He has already started offering free art lessons to local children, and he hopes to expand (扩展) his classes further in the future. 37．What do we know about the young Arsh according to the first paragraph? A．He received a painting as a birthday gift. B．He made a living through painting. C．He showed a lively interest in art. D．He got a place at an art school. 38．Why did Arsh start “Art by Arsh”? A．To raise money by selling his paintings. B．To introduce his paintings to more people. C．To donate some of his paintings to charities. D．To decorate local libraries with his paintings. 39．Which of the following best describes Arsh? A．Warm-hearted and humorous. B．Hard-working and honest. C．Gifted and generous. D．Kind and brave. 40．What does Arsh expect to do in the future? A．Form more nonprofit organizations. B．Learn more about the healing power of art. C．Do more voluntary work at the nursing home. D．Create more opportunities for kids to make art. 【答案】37．C 38．A 39．C 40．D 【难度】0.65 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要介绍的是美国年轻艺术家Arsh通过他的绘画帮助需要帮助的人。 37．细节理解题。根据首段中的“When Arsh was a young boy, his parents, Divya Pal and Sanjeev, signed him up for extracurricular activities such as piano, karate (空手道) and gymnastics, but he preferred art.(当阿什还是个小男孩的时候，他的父母Divya Pal和Sanjeev给他报名参加了钢琴、空手道和体操等课外活动，但他更喜欢艺术。)”可知，虽然父母给Arsh报了很多的课外活动，但Arsh更喜欢艺术，结合下文中的“When Arsh turned 8, he received a watercolor paint set as a birthday gift. He spent all his spare time painting.(阿什8岁时，他收到了一套水彩画作为生日礼物。他把所有的业余时间都用来画画。)”可知，在他8岁时收到一套水彩画作为生日礼物，从此他把所有时间用了画画，由此可知，Arsh对画画有着浓厚的兴趣。故选C项。 38．推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Around the same time, Arsh often visited a local nursing home, where his mother works. Spending time there inspired him to start selling his art for a good cause. “I want to help people in need through my paintings,” he said.(大约在同一时间，阿什经常去他母亲工作的当地一家养老院。在那里度过的时光激励他开始为慈善事业出售自己的艺术品。“我想通过我的画帮助有需要的人，”他说。)”可知，Arsh在母亲工作的养老院的经历激励着他开始为慈善事业售卖自己的艺术品，去帮助需要帮助的人，结合第二段的“And so began his fundraising (筹款) program, which he called “Art by Arsh”.(于是开始了他的筹款计划，他称之为“Arsh的艺术”。)”可知，正是他在母亲工作的养老院的经历让Arsh开始为他的慈善事业售卖自己的艺术品筹集资金去帮助需要帮助的人，所以他创办了称之为“Art by Arsh”的筹款计划，由此可知，之所以创办“Art by Arsh”的筹款计划是为了售卖自己的画筹集资金。故选A项。 39．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的““I was amazed at how talented he was at such a young age, without any formal training,” said Schaver.(谢弗说：“我很惊讶，他这么年轻，没有受过任何正式训练，就有这么大的天赋。”)”可知，这么年轻没有经过任何正式训练就这么有天赋，由此可知，Arsh是有天赋的，结合倒数第三段中的“He donated his first $1,000 to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in 2018, and has since reached various other charities.(2018年，他向圣裘德儿童研究医院捐赠了第一笔1000美元，此后又捐给了其他各种慈善机构。)”以及尾段中的“He has already started offering free art lessons to local children, and he hopes to expand (扩展) his classes further in the future.(他已经开始为当地的孩子提供免费的艺术课程，他希望在未来进一步扩大他的课程。)”可知，Arsh在2018年捐赠了第一笔1000美元，其后又捐给了其它的慈善机构，并且还给当地孩子提供免费的艺术可成，由此可知，Arsh是很慷慨大方的，所以，Arsh是一个既有天赋有慷慨大方的孩子。故选C项。 40．细节理解题。根据尾段中的““One of my future goals is to make art accessible for kids who want to express themselves,” Arsh said. He has already started offering free art lessons to local children, and he hopes to expand (扩展) his classes further in the future.(“我未来的目标之一是让那些想要表达自己的孩子们能够接触到艺术，”阿什说。他已经开始为当地的孩子提供免费的艺术课程，他希望在未来进一步扩大他的课程。)”可知，他的未来目标是让那些想要表达自己的孩子们接触到艺术，并且现在他已经开始给当地孩子提供免费的艺术课程，由此可知，他希望在未来为孩子创造更多的艺术创作机会。故选D项。 Passage 7 (24-25高一下·云南保山腾冲第八中学·期中) When I was in my early teens, I was a huge fan of a local band. I saw them play many times, bought plenty of their posters and records, and was excited when I met them after shows. But as they grew and received more attention from the industry, they started making changes to their music. The rough edges(小缺点)that made them stand out were smoothed over. There wasn’t much left that I connected with. I watched as a band I loved turned into something I could hardly recognize. I didn’t know much about the music industry at the time, but it was clear to me that they were taking a huge risk. Many artists, understandably, think they will find more commercial success by eliminating any aspect of their music or image that someone might find objectionable(令人反感的). However, what is unobjectionable is also unremarkable. My experience made me think about what makes someone fall in love with a song or a band. It’s different for everyone, I’m sure, but I think one of the key factors that make an artist connect with a fan is realness. When artists write what they think people want to hear instead of what they want to express, they are missing out on points of connection that can turn a casual(偶然的)listener into a super fan. This experience also made me think about what role I wanted to play in the music industry. I knew by then that I didn’t have the talent to be an artist myself. But I loved learning about the music industry. I loved doing research on what makes an artist successful and why. When I listened to a new artist or saw a band play, I wanted to find out what made them special, protect it, and share it with the world. I eventually figured out that managers are the ones who are in the best position to achieve that. 45．How did the author feel when the band he loved changed its style? A．He was upset. B．He was carefree. C．He was hopeful of their success. D．He was confused about the reason. 46．What does the underline word “eliminating” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A．Making up for. B．Getting rid of. C．Making use of. D．Getting used to. 47．What does the author think helps artists win super fans? A．Having great talent. B．Being true to themselves. C．Writing songs people like. D．Communicating with listeners. 48．What might the author be now? A．A pop singer. B．A band director. C．An artist manager. D．An educational researcher. 【答案】45．A 46．B 47．B 48．C 【难度】0.65 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者曾经喜欢的乐队变得不像以前一样，这让作者思考且明白了到底是什么让一个乐队或者艺术家受到人们的喜欢。 45．推理判断题。根据第一段的“There wasn’t much left that I connected with. I watched as a band I loved turned into something I could hardly recognize.(我已经没什么可留恋的了。我看着我喜欢的乐队变得我几乎认不出来。)”可知，作者曾经那么喜欢这支乐队，但是这支乐队的改变让作者无所适从，因此可知这个乐队的改变让作者感到伤心难受。故选A项。 46．词句猜测题。根据第二段的“Many artists, understandably, think they will find more commercial success by eliminating any aspect of their music or image that someone might find objectionable(令人反感的). However, what is unobjectionable is also unremarkable.(可以理解的是，许多艺术家认为，通过消除他们的音乐或形象中任何有人可能会反感的方面，他们会找到更多的商业成功。然而，无可非议的也并不显著。)”可知，很多艺术家想要获得商业上的成功，所以就要将让人感到反感的方面给去除掉，这样才会让人接受，因此可知，划线词在此次意为“消除”，与B选项Getting rid of“摆脱”语意相近。故选B项。 47．细节理解题。根据第三段的“My experience made me think about what makes someone fall in love with a song or a band. It’s different for everyone, I’m sure, but I think one of the key factors that make an artist connect with a fan is realness.(我敢肯定，对每个人来说都不一样，但我认为让一个艺术家和粉丝联系起来的关键因素之一是真实。)”可知，作者认为只有保持真实的自己，艺术家才有可能赢得粉丝的喜欢。故选B项。 48．推理判断题。根据最后一段“This experience also made me think about what role I wanted to play in the music industry. I knew by then that I didn’t have the talent to be an artist myself. But I loved learning about the music industry. I loved doing research on what makes an artist successful and why. When I listened to a new artist or saw a band play, I wanted to find out what made them special, protect it, and share it with the world. I eventually figured out that managers are the ones who are in the best position to achieve that.(这段经历也让我思考我想在音乐行业扮演什么角色。那时我知道我自己没有成为艺术家的天赋。但是我喜欢了解音乐产业。我喜欢研究艺术家成功的原因。当我听一个新的艺术家或看一个乐队演奏时，我想知道是什么让他们变得特别，保护它，并与世界分享它。我最终发现，经理是最有能力做到这一点的人。)”可知，作者是音乐行业里的人，而作者想让好的乐队和艺术家能够始终如一地保持真实，而能做到这一点的只有经理人，因此可知作者其实就是个艺人经理。故选C项。 主题03 人与自然——动物保护、生态修复、农业生态 Passage 1 (23-24高一下·云南昭通一中教研联盟·期中) On May 22,2021, the whole nation was saddened by the news that Chinese scientist Yuan Longping died. Dr Yuan Longping worked most of his life growing better rice. As a result of his research, the Chinese people are no longer worried about getting starved. His great work also helped the world produce more and more rice. Yuan, born on Sept.7,1930. After graduating from Southwest Agriculture College, he worked as a teacher at an agriculture school in Hunan. Several natural disasters hit China in the 1960s. Yuan, saw many people die of hunger every day. Since then, he has researched how to grow much better crops. In 1964, he happened to find a natural hybrid rice plant that had great advantages over others. Yuan was excited about his discovery. He then began to study the parts of this unusual plant. In 1973, he started to develop a type of hybrid rice species. It produced 20% more rice per unit than common ones. The seeding(种植)was very successful in the following year. This progress made China the world’s leader in rice production. More than 50% of China’s total rice fields grow Yuan’s hybrid species. People call him the “Father of Hybrid Rice”.

And now, defender of wildlife. As a child, he was fascinated by, animals — gorillas living in the forests outside his hometown of Bukavu in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) — but his path to conservation was winding. His father, who feared Adams would be taken as a child soldier, sent him to South Africa. In Johannesburg, Adams learnt to survive on the streets while teaching himself English in public libraries. After he was granted official refugee status, he studied journalism and landed his first job working for a local newspaper. While working as an investigative reporter in 2016, Adams was shot three times! Adams changed career paths again, this time to work in the profitable mining industry in South Africa. In this role, he returned years later to the DRC to visit gold mines. One day, while flying to a gold mine in northeastern Congo, Adams saw the wounds of mining operations on the lush forest landscape. He began to think about the beauty of his country’s wild places and the struggle to protect them. After volunteering as an honorary ranger (护林人), Adams took his wildlife mission one big step further, founding Conserve Congo in 2020. Conserve Congo fights illegal hunting and trafficking (非法交易) through undercover investigations in pursuit of criminals in the illegal wildlife trade. With a team of volunteers including police officers, politicians and students, Adams steals into trafficking networks and conducts organized traps with the authorities. Adams places great value on winning over the hearts and minds of the police officers he works with. “They need to understand the reason behind what we do. We have to transform them into nature lovers. They can only protect what they know and love,” he says. It also partners with multiple national parks, helping to prevent illegal hunting, training volunteers to patrol the parks with rangers, and buying uniforms and other supplies for rangers. To date, the non-profit has worked on more than 6,000 criminal cases, rescued hundreds of trafficked animals from chimps to parrots, and seized tons of ivory and pangolin scales. 5．Why was Adams sent to South Africa by his father? A．To study journalism. B．To become a wildlife defender. C．To avoid being taken as a child soldier. D．To work in the mining industry. 6．What made Adams decide to change his career to wildlife conservation? A．His love for the mining landscape. B．Being shot as an investigative reporter. C．The profitable nature of the mining industry. D．Seeing the damage of mining operations to the forest. 7．How does Adams involve police officers in his conservation efforts? A．By training them to work in mines. B．By transforming them into nature lovers. C．By hiring them as undercover agents. D．By providing them with uniforms and supplies. 8．Which of the following words can best describe Adams? A．Persistent and dedicated. B．Ambitious and humorous. C．Careful and friendly.
