专题02 阅读理解（记叙文） 主题01 人与社会 Passage 1 （24-25高二下·湖南·期中） “That’s what’s great about being a writer,” Hanif Kureishi told an interviewer a decade ago. “Every 10 years you become somebody else.” He was 59 then, looking back on his younger days; in his 30s, he’d made his mark with the Oscar-nominated play for My Beautiful Laundrette. The son of an English mother and a Pakistani father, he was a disobedient boy in the spotlight, close to working-class locals and worldly elites (精英), unashamed of smoking, and funny. Inspired by Wodehouse, he connected deeply with upstart young readers and writers, eventually finding his unique style. Then, at the age of 68, in 2022, he became somebody unimaginably different after he keeled over onto a hard floor in Rome. Trapped in a paralyzed body in a hospital bed, he tweeted two weeks later, via his son: “An insect, a hero or Frankenstein’s monster. Out of these mixings will come horrors and amazements. Every day when I speak out these, I open what is left of my broken body to stop myself from dying inside.” And suddenly, Kureishi was back in the spotlight. When I went to visit him two years later, he was in his power chair, his mobility limited to controlling his chair and leaning forward. Now a mixture of medicine has become a major part of his life, as he’s taking 12 or so a day to maintain his body functions. However, he went cold turkey on nearly everything else, driven by another need. Right away, he was “mad to write”. The brief and direct nature of Twitter gave his individual statements a nail-biting tension: “Sitting here in this dull room, I wouldn’t advise having an accident like mine, but I would say that lying completely still and silent, without much distraction, is certainly good for creativity,” he tweeted. Two weeks after the accident, his son integrated his dictations into essays, which finally worked as Shattered, a memoir of Kureishi’s new life. He is currently writing a follow-up book and developing a film project. “I’ve never felt such a strong desire to be a writer,” he shared. “It’s a relief that being a writer means fully experiencing life and understanding the world around me.” 1．What does paragraph 1 mainly talk about? A．Concepts regarding being a great writer. B．Kureishi’s early life experiences. C．Changes in Kureishi’s youthful times. D．Previous memories of achievements. 2．What brought Hanif Kureishi back to the spotlight? A．The publication of his groundbreaking novel. B．The paralysis he suffered after a fall in Rome. C．His reflections posted on the social media. D．His approval of engaging in an interview. 3．Which best explains the underlined phrase “went cold turkey on” in paragraph 4? A．postponed gradually B．quitted suddenly C．started enthusiastically D．persisted resolutely 4．What does Kureishi imply by saying “lying completely still…is certainly good for creativity,”? A．Physical limitations directed his attention to writing. B．Hospitals provided him with excellent writing resources. C．What he heard in the dull room sparked his inspiration. D．Social media distractions unexpectedly triggered his innovation. Passage 2 （24-25高二下·湖南·期中） I was 16 years old the day I skipped school for the first time. It was easily done: Both my parents left for work before my school bus arrived, so when it showed up on that cold winter morning, I simply did not get on. The perfect crime! And what did I do with myself on that glorious stolen day? Did I get high? Hit the mall for a shoplifting extravaganza (狂欢)? Nope. I built a warm fire in the wood stove, prepared a bowl of popcorn, grabbed a blanket, and read. I was thrilled and transported by a book — it was Hemingway’s The Sun Also Rises — and I just needed to be alone with it for a little while. I ached to know what would happen to Jake Barnes and Lady Brett Ashley and Robert Cohn. I couldn’t bear the thought of sitting in a classroom taking another biology exam when I could be traveling through Spain in the 1920s. I spent that day lost in words. Time fell away, as the room around me turned to mist, and my role — as a daughter, sister, teenager, and student — in the world no longer had any meaning. I had accidentally come across the key to perfect happiness: I had become completely absorbed by something I loved. Looking back on it now, I can see that some subtle things to my mind and to my life while I was in that state of absorption. Hemingway’s language was quietly braiding itself into my imagination. I was downloading information about how to create simple and elegant sentences, a good and solid plot. In other words, I was learning how to write. Without realizing it, I was hot on the trail of my own fate. Writing now absorbs me the way reading once did and happiness is their generous side effect. 1．Why did the author skip school on that day? A．Her parents left home early. B．It was a cold winter morning. C．She was fascinated by a novel. D．She hated to take the biology exam. 2．What did the author think was the source of true joy? A．Reading by the fire alone. B．Travelling in Spain freely. C．Breaking the regulations. D．Being occupied by one’s passion. 3．Which can best replace the underlined phrase “braiding itself into” in the last paragraph? A．Entering. B．Suspending. C．Adopting. D．Discouraging 4．What can we infer from the passage? A．I was actually tired of my real-life roles. B．I learnt how to write on the Internet. C．Hemingway’s style influenced me a lot. D．Writing pleased me more than reading. Passage 3 （24-25高二下·湖南·期中） My fingers trembled as I signed the pre-medical application form. The watercolor brushes on my desk stared back at me like abandoned friends. I’m Lora, an 18-year-old who secretly drew brain diagrams on napkins while classmates drew cartoons. “Art feeds the soul but starves the body,” Mom always said. Her words haunted me as my biology textbooks slowly buried my drawing pads. Then came the school career fair that changed everything. Dr. Eleanor Whitman from Harvard asked us to list our “hidden skills”. My hand shook as I wrote “observing details”—something I’d learned from painting flower petals. “That’s medical research’s most needed skill!” she exclaimed, sharing how a student turned microbiology notes into textbook illustrations. My lab partner whispered, “Remember our photosynthesis (光合作用) comic?” For the first time, my two worlds didn’t feel so separate. The real surprise came during hospital volunteering. Watching surgeries, I noticed something—the steady hands of doctors reminded me of my brushwork. When a boy struggled to describe his pain, I drew a fire-breathing dragon on his cast. “You made medicine speak,” the nurse said. Slowly, my drawing pads filled with cells that looked like colored-glass art and X-rays arranged like abstract paintings. Mr. Dawson, our career counselor, helped connect these dots. On his whiteboard, my medical knowledge and art skills overlapped in a bright yellow circle labeled “Medical Illustration”. He showed me job listings I never knew existed—graphic designers for science apps, 3D modelers for anatomy (解剖) classes. “Your ‘impractical’ skill makes you stand out,” he said, pointing to my dragon drawing now used in pain management workshops. Today, my microscope and paintbrushes share the same desk. The same hands that once hesitated between them now create 3D models of viruses for vaccine education. Sometimes I teach young patients to draw their feelings instead of describing them. My story isn’t about heart and reality canceling each other out—they just multiply possibilities. 1．What can be inferred about Lora from paragraph 1? A．She had given up the hobby of drawing. B．She was excited about studying medicine. C．She felt torn between art and medical study. D．She regretted not practicing painting earlier. 2．Dr. Eleanor thought of Lora’ s “hidden skills” as ______. A．a plus. B．a leisure. C．a distraction. D．a burden. 3．How did Lora’s hospital experience influence her? A．It helped develop her surgical skills. B．It directed her toward doctor training. C．It boosted her enthusiasm for abstract art. D．It convinced her of art’s role in healthcare. 4．What message does the author want to convey? A．Follow the beaten track to success. B．A picture is worth a thousand words. C．Don’t put all your eggs in one basket. D．Two strings to your bow light the way. 主题02 人与自我 Passage 1 （24-25高二下·湖南长沙·期中） At 30, Li Yangyang never imagined that her degree in international business would lead to a career in ancient book restoration. In 2017, after graduating from college, Li was exploring different job opportunities. One day, she saw a cultural technology company looking for ancient book restorers. The company offered training for people without experience. Curious, she sent her application and got the job. Restoring ancient books is more difficult than it looks. A typical project has more than 20 steps, such as taking photos for records, preparing paper, taking apart books, cleaning, binding (装订) and more. Depending on the damage, Li may restore 30 pages a day — or just one or two. “Book bricks” is the nickname restorers give to books that have become hard like bricks. Some are so damp that pages stick together, and even the first step — flattening the pages — can take a whole day. One wrong move could tear the page. Aesthetics (美学) are also important. Restoration isn’t just about “fixing” the book. The page margins (页边距) and backing paper color must match the original. Li said that beginners need to stay calm and respect the work. “Before starting a restoration, you must ask yourself: Can my skills handle this? If not, it’s better to seek help from an experienced restorer rather than risk making things worse,” she said. “Over-restoration can be more damaging than leaving the book untouched.” She also warns against working while upset. She once nearly damaged a book out of frustration. With China placing more value on cultural heritage, ancient book restoration is now growing fast. In October 2024, Li opened her own studio and now accepts orders from both groups and individuals. Since February, she’s shared videos on Xiaohongshu andDouyin to promote this work. “I hope ancient books can become a more common part of everyday life, so more people can experience them,” Li said. 1．What initially inspired Li to pursue ancient book restoration? A．Her passion for cultural heritage protection. B．Her determination to challenge herself. C．Her desire to apply her college major. D．Her curiosity about the job posting. 2．According to the article, what is a major challenge in restoring “book bricks”? A．Matching the original paper color. B．Safely separating stuck-together pages. C．Using historical binding techniques correctly. D．Drying the damp paper naturally and slowly. 3．What key advice does Li give to new restorers? A．Evaluate their restoration ability before starting. B．Take on diverse projects to build skills quickly. C．Continue working even while in a bad mood. D．Always ask experienced restorers for help. 4．Why does Li share restoration videos on social media? A．To bring ancient books into everyday life. B．To teach the public basic restoration skills. C．To promote her studio’s restoration services. D．To show the challenges of restoration work. Passage 2 （24-25高二下·湖南·期中） Feifei Li’s journey from a teenager in China to a leading figure in artificial intelligence is nothing short of remarkable. Born in Beijing in 1976, Li grew up in Chengdu. Her life took a dramatic turn when her family moved to America. Initially, the family didn’t speak English, so the burden of translation fell on Li. She credited kind teachers at her new high school for helping her overcome challenges, as she developed language skills and regained her academic excellence. Outside school, she worked tirelessly in low-paying jobs to support her family. During this period, she felt like an outsider with few friends, suffering from isolation(孤独). Despite these hardships, she was accepted into Princeton to study physics. In 1999, Li graduated with honors, before going on to complete her Ph.D．and eventually joining Princeton’s computer science department as an assistant professor. At Princeton, Li began to pioneer ImageNet, a large-scale image database in visual object recognition software. Frustrated by her peers’ inefficient approach of training computers to recognize one image at a time, she introduced computers to a vast number of objects based on children’s visual learning methods. This led to the creation of ImageNet, which involved a massive labeling effort for over three million images. Instead of getting support within the Princeton department, she outsourced(外包) the task to the Internet, using an Amazon’s program to force the job out to remote workers around the globe. Before long ImageNet was completed, and it has subsequently had an enormous impact on the development of artificial intelligence. The database has now grown to over fourteen million images, and is a fundamental part of countless AI applications, like self-driving car technology. Beyond her technical contributions, Li is a faithful advocate for moral AI development. She founded the Human-Centered AI Institute to advance AI research that improves the human condition. Moreover, Li’s influence extends to promoting diversity in AI, through initiatives like AI4ALL, which educates historically excluded talents in the field. Her devotion to AI development earns her the name of “the Godmother of AI”. 1．What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about? A．Li’s pursuit of further excellence B．Li’s struggles in the new life. C．Li’s efforts in balancing studies and work. D．Li’s gratitude to her teachers. 2．What is special about ImageNet? A．It recognizes a single object at a time. B．It produces a huge number of images. C．It automates image-recognition process. D．It features extensive image recognition. 3．Why does the author mention the Human-Centered AI Institute? A．To praise Li’s outstanding technical competence. B．To highlight Li’s status in the AI research field. C．To demonstrate Li’s devotion to moral AI development. D．To emphasize Li’s influence on advancing diversity in AI. 4．Which of the following best describes Li? A．Creative and caring. B．Ambitious and sensitive. C．Cautious and patriotic. D．Conventional and determined. Passage 3 （24-25高二下·湖南长沙·期中） Liam, a promising young athlete, had his eyes set on the Olympics from a tender age. Growing up in a small town, he faced numerous challenges. The local sports facilities were limited, and there was a lack of professional coaching. However, his unwavering passion for track and field kept him going. He would practice on the rough dirt roads, ignoring the blisters on his feet and the occasional jeers from those who doubted his potential. When he got the chance to compete in regional competitions, he initially struggled. His performance was inconsistent, and he often finished far behind the top-ranked athletes. Many around him suggested that he should give up his Olympic dream and focus on a more “realistic” career. But Liam was undaunted. He analyzed his races, worked on his weaknesses, and increased the intensity of his training. Just when things seemed to be looking up, a serious knee injury threatened to derail his career. The doctors warned him that continuing to pursue a high-level athletic career could cause permanent damage. But Liam refused to accept defeat. He underwent months of grueling physical therapy, all the while maintaining a strict diet and exercise regime. Finally, after years of hard work and perseverance, Liam qualified for the Olympics. In the biggest race of his life, he faced fierce competition. But he drew on the lessons he had learned throughout his journey. Despite starting the race slower than some of his competitors, he remained calm and focused. In the final stretch, he summoned all his strength and sprinted past his opponents, crossing the finish line to claim a medal. Liam’s story serves as a powerful reminder that no dream is too big, and no obstacle is insurmountable.

We wanted to make a scarecrow (稻草人) to enter it into the 2024 Scarecrow Festival. The scarecrow festival had started during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, in an attempt to lift people’s spirits. It was a hit, and had become an annual event, getting bigger each year, with around 50 scarecrows being entered in 2023. As well as the scarecrow display, dotted along a 14km section of road, there are market stalls, games, food and entertainment. And all the money made goes back into community projects. The scarecrows are judged on different categories, such as the funniest and the most traditional. “Why don’t we make Crowgun this year?” Pearl, my elder son, suggested. The idea was a nod to Australian breakdancer (霹雳舞者) Rachael Louise Gunn, 37, who became famous after her performance in the 2024 Paris Olympics. “That’s a great idea,” I said. We bought a parachute sports suit from a second-hand store and filled it with hay. Shaping Crowgun into a break-dancing pose was challenging — metal wires hidden inside let us twist its arms and legs upside down. As we were carefully adjusting its break-dancing pose, the kids couldn’t help but burst into laughter. On festival day, over 50 scarecrows lined the 14km road. Our Crowgun was there among them, standing next to figures like Marilyn Monroe, a huge spider. Pearl got a little scared when she saw the hairy legs of the spider, but she couldn’t help smiling at how energetic our Crowgun looked. Neighbors chatted at food stalls while kids played games nearby. When Crowgun won “the Funniest Scarecrow,” we cheered excitedly. Pearl’s face lit up with joy as I praised his clever idea. Now, we’re thinking about next year’s design. This festival proves even small towns can create big joy. To other rural communities: try something similar! Laughter and teamwork truly bring people together. 1．Why was the scarecrow festival originally started? A．To compete with neighboring towns’ affairs. B．To raise funds for rebuilding homes after disasters. C．To promote local sports clubs like the cricket team. D．To uplift the community during COVID-19 and hardships. 2．What made the family finally choose to create “Crowgun”? A．Pearl’s creative idea offering a fresh twist. B．Their aim to celebrate the 2024 Paris Olympics. C．Their desire to honor a famous athlete. D．Breakdancing scarecrows being easier to make. 3．What do the community members think of the festival? A．They consider it as overly competitive. B．They prefer fundraising to creativity. C．They prefer smaller, simpler affairs. D．They value it as a unifying and joyful tradition. 4．What message does the text convey? A．Sports-themed events are essential for rural towns. B．Creativity and teamwork can strengthen small communities. C．Children’s ideas always lead to success in competitions. D．Traditional scarecrow designs are losing popularity. Passage 2 （24-25高二下·湖南娄底·期中） We put limitations on ourselves when the fear of failure grows stronger than our will to succeed. That’s why we all need a push to help us reach further than we ever thought possible. That is the purpose of NubAbility Athletics Foundation, a nonprofit organization aimed to get “limb (肢体) different” youth — kids who are amputees (被截肢者) — “out of the stands, off the bench, and into mainstream sports.” The organization holds camps around the country, pairing kids and coaches with similar limb differences to help them reach their full physical potential. Tim, who was born without arms, certainly didn’t believe he could pull off a 20-inch box jump before he joined. This month, the 14-year-old participated in the weight-lifting and training program at a camp and achieved something amazing. In a video on the Internet, we see Tim’s coach teaching him to jump onto a box. With no arm strength, it seems like a tough task. While Tim pushes through his self-doubt and jumps, he still holds back on his first two tries and doesn’t stick the landing. Then, the coach pats her hands onto the box, yelling, “All the people who told you you can’t — right here, jump on them. Now!” This time, Tim puts all his energy into the jump. Still, it isn’t enough to make it all the way onto the box. Understandably, Tim grows frustrated and turns away as if to give up. But he’s not done yet. Tim turns back to the box with a look of pure determination, bends his knees. and launches himself onto the box! As his coaches cheer him on, the victorious teen jumps down and straights into his motivator’s arms, overwhelmed with emotion at what he just achieved. That day, Tim learned he is capable of so much more than he knew. 1．What is the mission of NubAbility Athletics Foundation? A．To find better treatments for amputees. B．To develop the full potential of the disabled. C．To help teenage amputees get involved in sports. D．To provide financial support for “limb different” youth. 2．Why did Tim fail in his first two tries to jump onto the box? A．He was afraid of getting hurt. B．His coach didn’t guide him well. C．He didn’t have enough arm strength. D．He lacked confidence in his own ability. 3．Which word can best describe the coach’s words? A．Encouraging. B．Funny. C．Comforting. D．Threatening. 4．What message can we get from Tim’s success? A．Life has no limitations. B．It is never too late to learn. C．A good beginning is half done. D．It is no use crying over spilled milk. 主题01 人与社会 Passage 1 （24-25高二下·湖南长沙·期中） Not even a flooded river could stand between Mary Breckinridge and the hospital her patients needed. A heavy rain ruined the banks beside Mary Breckinridge’s Wendover, Kentucky, clinic. She had to find a way to get her five patients to the hospital in Lexington. With a neighbor’s help, Mary and the nurses built a boat. They named it Ambulance, and on the morning of December 30th, 1926, Mary, another nurse, and the patients set off down the river. After sixteen wild miles on the dangerous river, they arrived at the train station in Krypton. As she watched the train pull away with her patients safely on board, Mary smiled and waved. Mary had not planned to be a nurse. She was the daughter of a wealthy Kentucky politician. As a child, Mary was influenced by her family who had always been concerned about the poor people of the state. When she grew up, Mary was inspired to become a nurse. So in 1925 Mary hired a few British-trained nurses and, with some money from her family, started the Frontier Nursing Service in Wendover, Kentucky. Before Mary and her nurses came, the mountain people lived a hard life. Families made so little money that they could not afford doctors or medicine. Many children had diseases and nearly every person was malnourished for lack of food. Mary and the nurses built clinics and a small hospital deep in the forests of Leslie County. There were no roads, electricity, or telephones. Each day the nurses rode on horseback to faraway farms, often in bad weather, to answer calls for help. They worked hard to keep an eye on their patients. The Frontier Nursing Service grew. Today their nursing service reaches far beyond the Kentucky mountains. Medical professionals from all over the world come to Wendover to study rural health care in action. When these men and women go back to their own countries, they are prepared to help people in need. 1．How did Mary get her patients to Krypton? A．By train. B．By car. C．By water. D．On horseback. 2．What was Mary’s parents’ attitude toward her and the nurses’ service? A．Doubtful. B．Uncaring. C．Supportive. D．Hopeful. 3．What does the underlined word “malnourished” in paragraph 4 mean? A．In poor health. B．Short of money. C．Afraid of strangers. D．Out of luck. 4．What can we learn about Mary Breckinridge from the text? A．She trained all of the nurses herself. B．She never had enough money for her work. C．She remains a great influence on health care today. D．She cured diseases in the mountains all around the world. Passage 2 （24-25高二下·湖南·期中） In 2018, 12-year-old Damian Earley was walking his dog when he noticed garbage cans knocked over by the wind, spilling trash onto the streets of his Columbus neighborhood. Disturbed by the environmental damage, he was inspired to create The Garbage Lot, a heavy platform with a locking mechanism to keep trash cans upright (直立). His invention won the “Industry Innovator Award” at Ohio’s Invention Convention and later earned first place at the national level. Damian’s path as an inventor was shaped by his participation in the Ohio Invention League (the OIL), a nonprofit that provides free STEM education to K-12 students. Through hands-on invention competitions, he learned to “sell” his invention to judges. Writing and crafting his presentation helped sharpen his communication skills and practice entrepreneurship (创业), which are crucial for the future employment market where students will likely work in jobs that have not yet been created. Damian’s teachers, particularly Sarah Priebe, admired his strong work ethic. She recalled Damian’s exceptional oral presentation in eighth grade, “You can tell he put a lot of time and practice into it. Many gifted students don’t seem to need to work as hard to excel at school, but he is always engaged and ready.” Elena and Zavier, Damian’s siblings, followed in his footsteps, creating their own inventions and receiving awards. Elena, 14, developed a device to remove bad smells from washing machines, while 11-year-old Zavier invented a drone for people with limited mobility. Their father, Matt, shared that watching the invention process take place had changed how he addressed issues in his vinyl records (黑胶唱片) business. 1．What drove Damian to create The Garbage Lot? A．His attention to neighborhood safety. B．The mess caused by fallen trash cans. C．His interest in environmental science. D．The need for an invention competition. 2．How does the OIL program prepare students for future jobs? A．By providing paid STEM education. B．By creating jobs that haven’t existed. C．By promoting entrepreneurial thinking. D．By selling invention presentation skills. 3．What quality of Damian impressed his teachers? A．Commitment. B．Intelligence. C．Curiosity. D．Leadership. 64．What can be a suitable title for the text? A．A Family of Inventors. B．From Inspired to Inspiring. C．Solving Problems with OIL. D．Turning Trash into Treasure. 主题02 人与自我 Passage 1 （23-24高一下·湖南·期中） My earliest memories are of having two very old parents. My mother was 42 when I was born, which back then was seriously old to have a baby, and a little risky too. My oldest brother was 14 years older than me and the middle brother ten years older. When I was quite small they had both left home. I grew up almost like an only child. I tended to amuse myself and play in the garden and draw and paint and shoot. I suppose you do learn as an only child that you’re going to have to get on with life by yourself. You’re going to have to find things that excite and move you. I was shipped off to Sunday school in Edinburgh when I was seven years old. I felt a proper Charlie, because I was the only little boy among the Sunday school children who was wearing a kilt (苏格兰短裙). I also felt rather threatened by the stories we were taught. Old-school Christianity was filled with punishment and anger that I didn’t really enjoy. For the rest of my attendance at Sunday school, I didn’t get closer than climbing a tree outside the church and hiding in the branches, waiting until the children came out, then dropping down to join the school team and walking out of the church to be met by my parents, who were then reassured that I’d been to Sunday school as I was supposed to. When my parents moved to Blackpool, my aunt, who came to live with us, took me to two or three concerts. I got to see Cliff Richard, Adam Faith and the early Rolling Stones performing at Blackpool’s ABC Theatre-which, when I was 12 years old, was an important moment of recognising that that isn’t what I wanted to do with the rest of my life, because the music they played was not what I was enjoying. I was drawn to the blues and Black American folk music. It felt very real and human. 1．What do we know about the author’s childhood? A．Many things moved him. B．He had to do many things on his own. C．He liked playing in the garden. D．He got on badly with his brothers. 2．Which is closest in meaning to the underlined phrase “a proper Charlie” in paragraph 2? A．A real fool. B．An independent child. C．A capable student. D．A clever student. 3．What experiences did the author have in his Sunday school? A．He liked wearing a kilt. B．He often studied in the trees. C．He was threatened by others. D．He was often absent from school. 4．What can we infer from the text? A．His brothers were not important to him. B．He never walked into the church. C．His parents took him to some concerts. D．The blues caught his interest. Passage 2 （24-25高二下·湖南·期中） I was surprised to find the congestion (拥塞) outside Layla’s primary school was unusually absent—I’d driven right into a parking space, and I was on time, for once. The school bell rang, and in a moment a stream of children made their way through the gate. But something was different—the kids were piling into vehicles in threes and fours. Before I could enquire my daughter Layla, Mr Trent, the deputy head, approached. “Mrs Pavis, did you not read our letter?” Letter? What letter? I had a history of not looking out for them, and not reading them in most cases. “The letter? Of course. It must have just slipped my mind—I’ve been away with work.” Now I was digging around in Layla’s messy schoolbag at home. Eventually, I found several letters, all addressing the same topic—parking outside the school gates. Apparently with some parents parking illegally, the police were about to get involved. “Why didn’t you give me these letters?” I demanded. Layla shrugged. “I forgot.” I was about to launch into a severe lecture when it occurred to me that I had always forgotten—I had forgotten to give Layla her money for cookery that morning and forgotten to hang out the kids’ washed clothes. I contained myself and figured out that they wanted the parents to car-pool (拼车). I spent the next half hour ringing round Layla’s friends’ parents, enquiring if they would like to car-pool with us. Unfortunately, they were all sorted. It was my own fault—I should have read those letters ages ago. “Er... I overheard others talking about it,” Layla said, “They said they didn’t know who would car-pool with us, because we’re always late.” I flushed instantly. We were a disorganised family, and I was the one to blame. I resolved to change. With responsibility for my kids, I find I am never, ever late. It’s good for Layla and for her older brothers, and it’s good for me, because now I never leave the house unprepared. I’ve even started checking the kids’ schoolbags for notes from school. 1．What did the author notice when the school was over? A．It was hard to find a parking space. B．Children were picked up in groups. C．Her daughter was absent from class. D．She arrived much earlier than others. 2．What stopped the author criticizing her daughter? A．The reflection of her daily routine. B．The realization of her carelessness. C．The knowledge of her kid’s character. D．The awareness of her kid’s depression. 3．Why did others refuse to car-pool with them according to Layla? A．Because they contacted them late. B．Because they failed to keep the house tidy. C．Because they couldn’t be on time. D．Because they ignored the school’s request. 4．What can we learn from the passage? A．Action creates motivation. B．Mother’s love never changes. C．It’s never too late to mend. D．Patience is the key to success. 主题03 人与自然 Passage 1 （24-25高一下·湖南·期中） Bali is a tiny island that is part of Indonesia (印度尼西亚) today. It is a pretty island that has many mountains and a pleasant climate. For a long time, Bali was cut off from much of the world. The people of Bali were happy and had a peaceful life. They were not allowed to fight. At one time there had been terrible wars on Bali.Then the people decided it was wrong to fight or have wars. They made rules to keep apart those people who wanted to fight. Bali was divided into seven small kingdoms. The land around each kingdom was kept empty, and no one lived there. Since the kingdoms did not share the same borders (边界), the people could not fight about them. On Bali, even children were not allowed to fight. If two children started a fight over a toy, someone separated them. When two boys argued, they would agree not to speak to each other.Sometimes they did not talk together for months; this gave the boys a chance to forget their anger. Families who were angry with each other also promised not to speak. Their promise was written down, and the whole village knew about it. If they broke their promise, they had to offer gifts to their gods. 1．Bali is an island belonging to _________. A．Europe B．Africa C．Asia D．America 2．The people of Bali _________ .

Passage 2 （24-25高二下·湖南·期中） 15-year-old Jacob Grosberg walked the streets of down town on Saturday to try and help people dealing with health problems, especially mental issues. The Toronto teenager carried bags full of donated clothes and hygiene (卫生) products for people living on the streets or in shelters. Grosberg’s father once suffered a lot from depression and mental illness. After his death, Grosberg decided he wanted to help others dealing with the same problem. His solution was the Conan Fund, so-called after his father’s high school nickname for his strength and popularity. According to the fund’s website, the money raised is donated to charities, hospitals and organizations to make a chance and improve resources. It didn’t take long for people living in the shelter on Wellington Street in Liberty Village to come out to receive what Grosberg was offering. From bags of socks, to hats, gloves, jeans and winter jackets, the people were excited and appreciative of the generosity. Martuia Archibald, 30, had a huge smile on her face as she put on a winter jacket and turned up the collar. She didn’t have a winter jacket until Grosberg arrived, and was touched by the gesture. “It means that there are people out there that still consider that I need warm clothing as well,” she said. Grosberg’s mother said her son’s spirit and kindness motivated her. “He inspires me,” she said. “He shows me the way to move forward after his father is gone. He shows me the way to turn something terrible into something really positive.” That’s exactly what Grosberg is trying to achieve. “I think that doing this is not only inspiring more changes in myself, but hopefully can inspire a lot of others to do the exact same thing I’m doing,” Grosberg said. 1．What inspired Grosberg to set up the Conan Fund? A．His father’s suffering. B．His mother’s suggestion. C．The story of another teenager. D．The hope to cure mental illness. 2．What does the author want to show by mentioning Martuia Archibald? A．The change the Conan Fund brought to shelters. B．The most urgently needed supplies for the locals. C．The warmth needy people received from Grosberg. D．The greatest contribution Grosberg made to the world. 3．What can be inferred about Grosberg’s mother? A．She is a very optimistic person. B．She considers her son an inspiration. C．She co-founded the Conan Fund. D．She is always ready to lend a helping hand. 4．What can be a suitable title for the text? A．Inspiring People Around Oneself B．Seeing the Positive Side of Everything C．Becoming a Teenager with Great Confidence D．Turning a Struggle into a Charitable Movement / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 专题02 阅读理解（记叙文） 主题01 人与社会 Passage 1 （24-25高二下·湖南·期中） “That’s what’s great about being a writer,” Hanif Kureishi told an interviewer a decade ago. “Every 10 years you become somebody else.” He was 59 then, looking back on his younger days; in his 30s, he’d made his mark with the Oscar-nominated play for My Beautiful Laundrette. The son of an English mother and a Pakistani father, he was a disobedient boy in the spotlight, close to working-class locals and worldly elites (精英), unashamed of smoking, and funny. Inspired by Wodehouse, he connected deeply with upstart young readers and writers, eventually finding his unique style. Then, at the age of 68, in 2022, he became somebody unimaginably different after he keeled over onto a hard floor in Rome. Trapped in a paralyzed body in a hospital bed, he tweeted two weeks later, via his son: “An insect, a hero or Frankenstein’s monster. Out of these mixings will come horrors and amazements. Every day when I speak out these, I open what is left of my broken body to stop myself from dying inside.” And suddenly, Kureishi was back in the spotlight. When I went to visit him two years later, he was in his power chair, his mobility limited to controlling his chair and leaning forward. Now a mixture of medicine has become a major part of his life, as he’s taking 12 or so a day to maintain his body functions. However, he went cold turkey on nearly everything else, driven by another need. Right away, he was “mad to write”. The brief and direct nature of Twitter gave his individual statements a nail-biting tension: “Sitting here in this dull room, I wouldn’t advise having an accident like mine, but I would say that lying completely still and silent, without much distraction, is certainly good for creativity,” he tweeted. Two weeks after the accident, his son integrated his dictations into essays, which finally worked as Shattered, a memoir of Kureishi’s new life. He is currently writing a follow-up book and developing a film project. “I’ve never felt such a strong desire to be a writer,” he shared. “It’s a relief that being a writer means fully experiencing life and understanding the world around me.” 1．What does paragraph 1 mainly talk about? A．Concepts regarding being a great writer. B．Kureishi’s early life experiences. C．Changes in Kureishi’s youthful times. D．Previous memories of achievements. 2．What brought Hanif Kureishi back to the spotlight? A．The publication of his groundbreaking novel. B．The paralysis he suffered after a fall in Rome. C．His reflections posted on the social media. D．His approval of engaging in an interview. 3．Which best explains the underlined phrase “went cold turkey on” in paragraph 4? A．postponed gradually B．quitted suddenly C．started enthusiastically D．persisted resolutely 4．What does Kureishi imply by saying “lying completely still…is certainly good for creativity,”? A．Physical limitations directed his attention to writing. B．Hospitals provided him with excellent writing resources. C．What he heard in the dull room sparked his inspiration. D．Social media distractions unexpectedly triggered his innovation. 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．B 4．A 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作家哈尼夫·库雷希早期的生活经历、成就，以及他在罗马摔倒瘫痪后重归公众视野，重新燃起写作热情的故事。 1．主旨大意题。根据第一段中“He was 59 then, looking back on his younger days; in his 30s, he’d made his mark with the Oscar nominated play for My Beautiful Laundrette. The son of an English mother and a Pakistani father, he was a disobedient boy in the spotlight, close to working class locals and worldly elites, unashamed of smoking, and funny. Inspired by Wodehouse, he connected deeply with upstart young readers and writers, eventually finding his unique style.(那时他59岁，回首自己的青春岁月；30多岁时，他凭借获得奥斯卡提名的《我美丽的洗衣店》一剧崭露头角。他的母亲是英国人，父亲是巴基斯坦人，他是聚光灯下一个不听话的男孩，与当地工人阶级和世俗精英关系密切，毫不羞愧地抽烟，而且很风趣。在沃德豪斯的启发下，他与新兴的年轻读者和作家建立了深厚的联系，最终找到了自己独特的风格)”可知，第一段主要讲述了库雷希早期的生活经历。故选B项。 2．细节理解题。根据第二段中“Trapped in a paralyzed body in a hospital bed, he tweeted two weeks later, via his son: ‘An insect, a hero or Frankenstein’s monster. Out of these mixings will come horrors and amazements. Every day when I speak out these, I open what is left of my broken body to stop myself from dying inside.’ And suddenly, Kureishi was back in the spotlight.(他瘫痪在医院的病床上，两周后，他通过儿子发推文说：“昆虫、英雄或弗兰肯斯坦的怪物。这些混合将带来恐怖和惊奇。每天当我大声说出这些时，我都会打开我破碎身体中剩下的部分，以阻止自己内心死亡。”突然间，库雷希又回到了聚光灯下)”可知，库雷希在社交媒体上发布的反思让他重新回到了聚光灯下。故选C项。 3．词句猜测题。根据划线短语所在句“However, he went cold turkey on nearly everything else, driven by another need. Right away, he was ‘mad to write’.(然而，出于另一种需求，他……几乎其他所有事情。他立刻“疯狂地想写作”)”中“nearly everything else”和后文他专注于写作的描述可推知，他突然放弃了其他事情，全身心投入写作。划线短语“went cold turkey on”意思是“突然停止、放弃”，与“quitted suddenly”同义。故选B项。 4．推理判断题。根据第四段中库雷希的话“Sitting here in this dull room, I wouldn’t advise having an accident like mine, but I would say that lying completely still and silent, without much distraction, is certainly good for creativity(坐在这个沉闷的房间里，我不建议遭遇像我这样的事故，但我想说，静静地躺着，没有太多干扰，肯定对创造力有好处)”可知，库雷希认为身体上的限制让他少了很多干扰，激发了更强的创造力，由此推断库雷希说“完全安静地躺着……对创造力肯定是有好处的”意思是身体上的限制使他把注意力转向了写作。故选A项。 Passage 2 （24-25高二下·湖南·期中） I was 16 years old the day I skipped school for the first time. It was easily done: Both my parents left for work before my school bus arrived, so when it showed up on that cold winter morning, I simply did not get on. The perfect crime! And what did I do with myself on that glorious stolen day? Did I get high? Hit the mall for a shoplifting extravaganza (狂欢)? Nope. I built a warm fire in the wood stove, prepared a bowl of popcorn, grabbed a blanket, and read. I was thrilled and transported by a book — it was Hemingway’s The Sun Also Rises — and I just needed to be alone with it for a little while. I ached to know what would happen to Jake Barnes and Lady Brett Ashley and Robert Cohn. I couldn’t bear the thought of sitting in a classroom taking another biology exam when I could be traveling through Spain in the 1920s. I spent that day lost in words. Time fell away, as the room around me turned to mist, and my role — as a daughter, sister, teenager, and student — in the world no longer had any meaning. I had accidentally come across the key to perfect happiness: I had become completely absorbed by something I loved. Looking back on it now, I can see that some subtle things to my mind and to my life while I was in that state of absorption. Hemingway’s language was quietly braiding itself into my imagination. I was downloading information about how to create simple and elegant sentences, a good and solid plot. In other words, I was learning how to write. Without realizing it, I was hot on the trail of my own fate. Writing now absorbs me the way reading once did and happiness is their generous side effect. 1．Why did the author skip school on that day? A．Her parents left home early. B．It was a cold winter morning. C．She was fascinated by a novel. D．She hated to take the biology exam. 2．What did the author think was the source of true joy? A．Reading by the fire alone. B．Travelling in Spain freely. C．Breaking the regulations. D．Being occupied by one’s passion. 3．Which can best replace the underlined phrase “braiding itself into” in the last paragraph? A．Entering. B．Suspending. C．Adopting. D．Discouraging 4．What can we infer from the passage? A．I was actually tired of my real-life roles. B．I learnt how to write on the Internet. C．Hemingway’s style influenced me a lot. D．Writing pleased me more than reading. 【答案】1．C 2．D 3．A 4．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要介绍的是作者16岁时逃学在家阅读海明威小说的经历，以及这次经历对她人生和写作产生的深远影响。 1．细节理解题。根据文章第二段中“Nope. I built a warm fire in the wood stove, prepared a bowl of popcorn, grabbed a blanket, and read. I was thrilled and transported by a book — it was Hemingway’s The Sun Also Rises — and I just needed to be alone with it for a little while. (不，我在木炉里生了一堆温暖的火，准备了一碗爆米花，裹上一条毯子，然后就开始读书。我被一本书深深吸引，它就是海明威的《太阳照常升起》，我只需要独自沉浸其中一会儿。)”可知，作者选择留在家中读海明威的《太阳照常升起》这本书，并为之着迷。因此，作者那天逃学是因为被一本小说吸引了。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据文章第三段“I had accidentally come across the key to perfect happiness: I had become completely absorbed by something I loved.(我偶然发现了通往完美幸福的钥匙：我全身心地投入到我所热爱的事情中。)”可知，作者偶然发现了获得完美幸福的秘诀：完全被自己所热爱的事物吸引。因此，作者认为真正的快乐来源于被自己的热情所占据。故选D。 3．词义猜测题。根据画线词后文“I was downloading information about how to create simple and elegant sentences, a good and solid plot. In other words, I was learning how to write.( 我正在下载关于如何创建简单优雅的句子，一个好的和坚实的情节的信息。换句话说，我在学习如何写作。)”可知，作者正在学习如何写作，由此可知海明威的语言风格悄悄地进入了作者的想象中，对作者产生了影响。A选项“Entering”意为“进入”，符合语境。故选A。 4．推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Hemingway’s language was quietly braiding itself into my imagination. I was downloading information about how to create simple and elegant sentences, a good and solid plot.

The watercolor brushes on my desk stared back at me like abandoned friends. I’m Lora, an 18-year-old who secretly drew brain diagrams on napkins while classmates drew cartoons. “Art feeds the soul but starves the body,” Mom always said. Her words haunted me as my biology textbooks slowly buried my drawing pads. Then came the school career fair that changed everything. Dr. Eleanor Whitman from Harvard asked us to list our “hidden skills”. My hand shook as I wrote “observing details”—something I’d learned from painting flower petals. “That’s medical research’s most needed skill!” she exclaimed, sharing how a student turned microbiology notes into textbook illustrations. My lab partner whispered, “Remember our photosynthesis (光合作用) comic?” For the first time, my two worlds didn’t feel so separate. The real surprise came during hospital volunteering. Watching surgeries, I noticed something—the steady hands of doctors reminded me of my brushwork. When a boy struggled to describe his pain, I drew a fire-breathing dragon on his cast. “You made medicine speak,” the nurse said. Slowly, my drawing pads filled with cells that looked like colored-glass art and X-rays arranged like abstract paintings. Mr. Dawson, our career counselor, helped connect these dots. On his whiteboard, my medical knowledge and art skills overlapped in a bright yellow circle labeled “Medical Illustration”. He showed me job listings I never knew existed—graphic designers for science apps, 3D modelers for anatomy (解剖) classes. “Your ‘impractical’ skill makes you stand out,” he said, pointing to my dragon drawing now used in pain management workshops. Today, my microscope and paintbrushes share the same desk. The same hands that once hesitated between them now create 3D models of viruses for vaccine education. Sometimes I teach young patients to draw their feelings instead of describing them. My story isn’t about heart and reality canceling each other out—they just multiply possibilities. 1．What can be inferred about Lora from paragraph 1? A．She had given up the hobby of drawing. B．She was excited about studying medicine. C．She felt torn between art and medical study. D．She regretted not practicing painting earlier. 2．Dr. Eleanor thought of Lora’ s “hidden skills” as ______. A．a plus. B．a leisure. C．a distraction. D．a burden. 3．How did Lora’s hospital experience influence her? A．It helped develop her surgical skills. B．It directed her toward doctor training. C．It boosted her enthusiasm for abstract art. D．It convinced her of art’s role in healthcare. 4．What message does the author want to convey? A．Follow the beaten track to success. B．A picture is worth a thousand words. C．Don’t put all your eggs in one basket. D．Two strings to your bow light the way. 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．D 4．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了 Lora 在艺术和医学学习之间感到纠结，后来在学校职业招聘会、医院志愿者活动等经历的影响下，发现自己的艺术技能在医疗领域有独特的作用，从而将两者结合起来的故事。 1．推理判断题。根据第一段““Art feeds the soul but starves the body,” Mom always said. Her words haunted me as my biology textbooks slowly buried my drawing pads.(“艺术滋养灵魂，但会饿肚子”妈妈总是这么说。当我的生物课本慢慢把我的画本掩埋时，她的话萦绕在我心头)” 可知，Lora 在艺术和医学学习之间难以抉择，感到很纠结。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据第二段“Dr. Eleanor Whitman from Harvard asked us to list our “hidden skills”. My hand shook as I wrote “observing details”—something I’d learned from painting flower petals. “That’s medical research’s most needed skill!” she exclaimed, sharing how a student turned microbiology notes into textbook illustrations.(哈佛大学的埃莉诺·惠特曼博士让我们列出自己的“隐藏技能”。当我写下“观察细节”时，我的手在颤抖——这是我从画花瓣中学到的。“这是医学研究最需要的技能！”她大声说道，并分享了一个学生如何将微生物学笔记变成教科书插图的故事)” 可知，Dr. Eleanor 认为 Lora 的 “隐藏技能” 是一个优势。故选A。 3．推理判断题。根据第三段“Watching surgeries, I noticed something—the steady hands of doctors reminded me of my brushwork. When a boy struggled to describe his pain, I drew a fire-breathing dragon on his cast. “You made medicine speak,” the nurse said.(在观看手术时，我注意到了一些事情 —— 医生稳定的手让我想起了我的绘画技巧。当一个男孩难以描述他的疼痛时，我在他的石膏上画了一条喷火的龙。护士说：“你让医学有了声音”)” 可推知，Lora 在医院的经历让她确信艺术在医疗保健中有作用。故选D。 4．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Today, my microscope and paintbrushes share the same desk. The same hands that once hesitated between them now create 3D models of viruses for vaccine education. Sometimes I teach young patients to draw their feelings instead of describing them. My story isn’t about heart and reality canceling each other out—they just multiply possibilities.(如今，我的显微镜和画笔共用一张桌子。曾经在它们之间犹豫不决的手，现在为疫苗教育制作病毒的 3D 模型。有时我教年轻的病人画出他们的感受，而不是描述它们。我的故事不是关于内心和现实相互抵消 —— 它们只是增加了可能性)” 可知，文章主要传达了拥有两种技能（艺术和医学知识）可以照亮人生道路，带来更多可能性的信息。所以文章传达了“双管齐下，照亮道路”。故选D。 主题02 人与自我 Passage 1 （24-25高二下·湖南长沙·期中） At 30, Li Yangyang never imagined that her degree in international business would lead to a career in ancient book restoration. In 2017, after graduating from college, Li was exploring different job opportunities. One day, she saw a cultural technology company looking for ancient book restorers. The company offered training for people without experience. Curious, she sent her application and got the job. Restoring ancient books is more difficult than it looks. A typical project has more than 20 steps, such as taking photos for records, preparing paper, taking apart books, cleaning, binding (装订) and more. Depending on the damage, Li may restore 30 pages a day — or just one or two. “Book bricks” is the nickname restorers give to books that have become hard like bricks. Some are so damp that pages stick together, and even the first step — flattening the pages — can take a whole day. One wrong move could tear the page. Aesthetics (美学) are also important. Restoration isn’t just about “fixing” the book. The page margins (页边距) and backing paper color must match the original. Li said that beginners need to stay calm and respect the work. “Before starting a restoration, you must ask yourself: Can my skills handle this? If not, it’s better to seek help from an experienced restorer rather than risk making things worse,” she said. “Over-restoration can be more damaging than leaving the book untouched.” She also warns against working while upset. She once nearly damaged a book out of frustration. With China placing more value on cultural heritage, ancient book restoration is now growing fast. In October 2024, Li opened her own studio and now accepts orders from both groups and individuals. Since February, she’s shared videos on Xiaohongshu andDouyin to promote this work. “I hope ancient books can become a more common part of everyday life, so more people can experience them,” Li said. 1．What initially inspired Li to pursue ancient book restoration? A．Her passion for cultural heritage protection. B．Her determination to challenge herself. C．Her desire to apply her college major. D．Her curiosity about the job posting. 2．According to the article, what is a major challenge in restoring “book bricks”? A．Matching the original paper color. B．Safely separating stuck-together pages. C．Using historical binding techniques correctly. D．Drying the damp paper naturally and slowly. 3．What key advice does Li give to new restorers? A．Evaluate their restoration ability before starting. B．Take on diverse projects to build skills quickly. C．Continue working even while in a bad mood. D．Always ask experienced restorers for help. 4．Why does Li share restoration videos on social media? A．To bring ancient books into everyday life. B．To teach the public basic restoration skills. C．To promote her studio’s restoration services. D．To show the challenges of restoration work. 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．A 4．A 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。通过讲述李洋洋如何从一个国际商务专业毕业生转变为古籍修复师，展示了她个人成长经历和职业选择背后的思考。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段中“One day, she saw a cultural technology company looking for ancient book restorers. The company offered training for people without experience. Curious, she sent her application and got the job. (一天，她看到一家文化科技公司在招聘古籍修复师。该公司为没有经验的人提供培训。出于好奇，她提交了申请并得到了这份工作。)”可知，李阳阳最初对这份招聘启事的好奇促使她追求古籍修复的工作。故选D。 2．推理判断题。根据第四段中“‘Book bricks’ is the nickname restorers give to books that have become hard like bricks. Some are so damp that pages stick together, and even the first step — flattening the pages — can take a whole day. One wrong move could tear the page. (‘书砖’是修复人员给那些变得像砖头一样硬的书的绰号。有些书非常潮湿，书页粘在一起，即使是第一步——展平书页——也可能需要一整天的时间。一个错误的举动就可能把书页撕破。)”可推知，修复“书砖”的主要挑战是安全地将粘在一起的书页分开。故选B。 3．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“Li said that beginners need to stay calm and respect the work. ‘Before starting a restoration, you must ask yourself: Can my skills handle this? If not, it’s better to seek help from an experienced restorer rather than risk making things worse,’ she said. (李说，初学者需要保持冷静，尊重工作。‘在开始修复之前，你必须问自己：我的技能能处理这个问题吗？如果不能，最好向有经验的修复人员寻求帮助，而不是冒险让事情变得更糟，’她说。)”可知，李给新手修复师的关键建议是在开始修复前评估自己的修复能力。故选A。 4．细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Since February, she’s shared videos on Xiaohongshu and Douyin to promote this work. ‘I hope ancient books can become a more common part of everyday life, so more people can experience them,’ Li said. (自今年2月以来，她一直在小红书和抖音上分享视频，以推广这项工作。‘我希望古籍能成为日常生活中更常见的一部分，这样更多的人就能体验到它们，’李说。)”可知，李在社交媒体上分享修复视频是为了让古籍融入日常生活。故选A。 Passage 2 （24-25高二下·湖南·期中） Feifei Li’s journey from a teenager in China to a leading figure in artificial intelligence is nothing short of remarkable. Born in Beijing in 1976, Li grew up in Chengdu. Her life took a dramatic turn when her family moved to America. Initially, the family didn’t speak English, so the burden of translation fell on Li. She credited kind teachers at her new high school for helping her overcome challenges, as she developed language skills and regained her academic excellence. Outside school, she worked tirelessly in low-paying jobs to support her family. During this period, she felt like an outsider with few friends, suffering from isolation(孤独). Despite these hardships, she was accepted into Princeton to study physics. In 1999, Li graduated with honors, before going on to complete her Ph.D．and eventually joining Princeton’s computer science department as an assistant professor. At Princeton, Li began to pioneer ImageNet, a large-scale image database in visual object recognition software. Frustrated by her peers’ inefficient approach of training computers to recognize one image at a time, she introduced computers to a vast number of objects based on children’s visual learning methods. This led to the creation of ImageNet, which involved a massive labeling effort for over three million images. Instead of getting support within the Princeton department, she outsourced(外包) the task to the Internet, using an Amazon’s program to force the job out to remote workers around the globe. Before long ImageNet was completed, and it has subsequently had an enormous impact on the development of artificial intelligence. The database has now grown to over fourteen million images, and is a fundamental part of countless AI applications, like self-driving car technology. Beyond her technical contributions, Li is a faithful advocate for moral AI development. She founded the Human-Centered AI Institute to advance AI research that improves the human condition. Moreover, Li’s influence extends to promoting diversity in AI, through initiatives like AI4ALL, which educates historically excluded talents in the field. Her devotion to AI development earns her the name of “the Godmother of AI”. 1．What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about? A．Li’s pursuit of further excellence B．Li’s struggles in the new life. C．Li’s efforts in balancing studies and work. D．Li’s gratitude to her teachers. 2．What is special about ImageNet? A．It recognizes a single object at a time. B．It produces a huge number of images. C．It automates image-recognition process. D．It features extensive image recognition. 3．Why does the author mention the Human-Centered AI Institute? A．To praise Li’s outstanding technical competence. B．To highlight Li’s status in the AI research field. C．To demonstrate Li’s devotion to moral AI development. D．To emphasize Li’s influence on advancing diversity in AI. 4．Which of the following best describes Li? A．Creative and caring. B．Ambitious and sensitive. C．Cautious and patriotic. D．Conventional and determined. 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．C 4．A 【导语】文章是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了李飞飞从中国的一个青少年成长为人工智能领域领军人物的非凡历程，包括她在美国的艰难生活、在学术上的成就以及对人工智能发展的多方面贡献。 1．主旨大意题。根据第二段“Born in Beijing in 1976, Li grew up in Chengdu. Her life took a dramatic turn when her family moved to America. Initially, the family didn’t speak English, so the burden of translation fell on Li. She credited kind teachers at her new high school for helping her overcome challenges, as she developed language skills and regained her academic excellence. Outside school, she worked tirelessly in low-paying jobs to support her family. During this period, she felt like an outsider with few friends, suffering from isolation(孤独).(1976年出生于北京，李飞飞在成都长大。当她的家人搬到美国后，她的生活发生了戏剧性的转变。起初，家人不会说英语，所以翻译的重担落在了李的身上。她感谢新高中的善良老师帮助她克服了挑战，帮助她提高了语言技能，恢复了学业上的优异成绩。在校外，她不知疲倦地做着低薪的工作来养家。在这段时间里，她觉得自己像个外人，朋友很少，很孤独)” 可知，该段主要讲述了李飞飞在新生活中所经历的挣扎。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据第四段“At Princeton, Li began to pioneer ImageNet, a large-scale image database in visual object recognition software. Frustrated by her peers’ inefficient approach of training computers to recognize one image at a time, she introduced computers to a vast number of objects based on children’s visual learning methods. This led to the creation of ImageNet, which involved a massive labeling effort for over three million images.(在普林斯顿大学，李开始率先开发ImageNet，这是一种用于视觉对象识别软件的大规模图像数据库。她对同龄人训练计算机一次识别一张图像的低效方法感到沮丧，于是她根据儿童的视觉学习方法向计算机介绍了大量物体。这导致了ImageNet的创建，这涉及到对超过300万张图像进行大量标记的工作)”及“ The database has now grown to over fourteen million images, and is a fundamental part of countless AI applications, like self-driving car technology.(该数据库现在已经发展到超过1400万张图像，是无数人工智能应用的基础部分，比如自动驾驶汽车技术)”可知，ImageNet的特别之处在于它具有广泛的图像识别功能。故选D。 3．推理判断题。根据第五段“Beyond her technical contributions, Li is a faithful advocate for moral AI development. She founded the Human-Centered AI Institute to advance AI research that improves the human condition.(除了她的技术贡献，李还是道德人工智能发展的忠实倡导者。她创立了以人为中心的人工智能研究所，以推进改善人类状况的人工智能研究)”可推知，作者提到该研究所是为了证明李飞飞对道德人工智能发展的贡献。故选C。 4．推理判断题。根据第四段“Frustrated by her peers’ inefficient approach of training computers to recognize one image at a time, she introduced computers to a vast number of objects based on children’s visual learning methods. This led to the creation of ImageNet(由于对同龄人一次训练计算机识别一张图像的低效方法感到沮丧，她根据儿童的视觉学习方法让计算机接触大量的物体。这导致了ImageNet的创建)” 可知，李飞飞不满足于传统的方法，通过创新的方式创建了ImageNet，体现了她的创造性（Creative）。再根据第五段“She founded the Human-Centered AI Institute to advance AI research that improves the human condition. Moreover, Li’s influence extends to promoting diversity in AI, through initiatives like AI4ALL, which educates historically excluded talents in the field(她创立了以人为中心的人工智能研究所，以推进改善人类状况的人工智能研究。此外，李的影响力还延伸到通过 AI4ALL 等倡议促进人工智能领域的多样性，该倡议教育该领域历来被排除在外的人才)”，可以看出李飞飞关心人类和人工智能领域的发展，致力于让人工智能造福人类，推动行业的多元化，这体现了她的关爱他人、有爱心（Caring）的品质。 选项 A（有创造力和有爱心的）符合对她的描述，故选A。 Passage 3 （24-25高二下·湖南长沙·期中） Liam, a promising young athlete, had his eyes set on the Olympics from a tender age. Growing up in a small town, he faced numerous challenges. The local sports facilities were limited, and there was a lack of professional coaching. However, his unwavering passion for track and field kept him going. He would practice on the rough dirt roads, ignoring the blisters on his feet and the occasional jeers from those who doubted his potential. When he got the chance to compete in regional competitions, he initially struggled. His performance was inconsistent, and he often finished far behind the top-ranked athletes. Many around him suggested that he should give up his Olympic dream and focus on a more “realistic” career. But Liam was undaunted. He analyzed his races, worked on his weaknesses, and increased the intensity of his training. Just when things seemed to be looking up, a serious knee injury threatened to derail his career. The doctors warned him that continuing to pursue a high-level athletic career could cause permanent damage. But Liam refused to accept defeat. He underwent months of grueling physical therapy, all the while maintaining a strict diet and exercise regime. Finally, after years of hard work and perseverance, Liam qualified for the Olympics. In the biggest race of his life, he faced fierce competition. But he drew on the lessons he had learned throughout his journey. Despite starting the race slower than some of his competitors, he remained calm and focused. In the final stretch, he summoned all his strength and sprinted past his opponents, crossing the finish line to claim a medal. Liam’s story serves as a powerful reminder that no dream is too big, and no obstacle is insurmountable. With determination, self-belief, and the willingness to overcome setbacks, we can achieve the seemingly impossible. 1．What was Liam’s initial situation like? A．He had excellent sports facilities in his town. B．He received professional coaching from an early age. C．He faced limited resources and doubters. D．He was always confident in his Olympic dream. 2．Why did people around Liam suggest he give up his dream? A．He was not interested in track and field anymore. B．His performance in regional competitions was poor. C．He had a serious knee injury. D．He failed to qualify for the Olympics. 3．What can we infer about Liam’s recovery from his knee injury? A．It was quick and easy. B．He didn’t follow the doctor’s advice at all. C．He gave up training during the recovery process. D．It required great effort and self-discipline. 4．What is the main message the author intends to convey? A．The importance of having natural talent in sports. B．The significance of choosing the right sports event. C．The power of determination and perseverance in achieving dreams. D．The necessity of having a supportive team. 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．D 4．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了运动员Liam克服重重困难，凭借决心和毅力最终实现奥运梦想的故事。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段“Growing up in a small town, he faced numerous challenges. The local sports facilities were limited, and there was a lack of professional coaching. However, his unwavering passion for track and field kept him going. He would practice on the rough dirt roads, ignoring the blisters on his feet and the occasional jeers from those who doubted his potential. (他在一个小镇长大，面临着许多挑战。当地的体育设施有限，缺乏专业教练。然而，他对田径运动坚定不移的热情让他坚持了下来。他会在崎岖的土路上练习，忽略脚上的水泡和偶尔怀疑他潜力的人的嘲笑)”可知，Liam最初面临资源有限和质疑者的问题。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据第二段“When he got the chance to compete in regional competitions, he initially struggled. His performance was inconsistent, and he often finished far behind the top-ranked athletes. Many around him suggested that he should give up his Olympic dream and focus on a more “realistic” career. (当他有机会参加地区比赛时，他最初很挣扎。他的表现不稳定，经常远远落后于顶级运动员。他周围的许多人建议他放弃奥运梦想，专注于更“现实”的职业生涯)”可知，人们建议Liam放弃梦想是因为他在地区比赛中的表现很差。故选B。 3．推理判断题。根据第三段“He underwent months of grueling physical therapy, all the while maintaining a strict diet and exercise regime. (他接受了数月的艰苦物理治疗，同时一直保持着严格的饮食和锻炼制度)”可推知，Liam从膝盖受伤中恢复需要接受数月的艰苦物理治疗，同时一直保持严格的饮食和锻炼制度，即需要极大的努力和自律。故选D。 4．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Liam’s story serves as a powerful reminder that no dream is too big, and no obstacle is insurmountable. With determination, self-belief, and the willingness to overcome setbacks, we can achieve the seemingly impossible. (Liam的故事有力地提醒我们，没有梦想太大，没有障碍不可逾越。有了决心、自信和克服挫折的意愿，我们就能实现看似不可能的事情)”以及文章内容可知，本文主要讲述了运动员Liam克服重重困难，凭借决心和毅力最终实现奥运梦想的故事，作者想要传达的是决心和毅力在实现梦想中的力量。故选C。 主题03 人与社会 Passage 1 （24-25高二下·湖南·期中） Our family sat around the dining table, trying hard to think of an idea. We wanted to make a scarecrow (稻草人) to enter it into the 2024 Scarecrow Festival. The scarecrow festival had started during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, in an attempt to lift people’s spirits. It was a hit, and had become an annual event, getting bigger each year, with around 50 scarecrows being entered in 2023. As well as the scarecrow display, dotted along a 14km section of road, there are market stalls, games, food and entertainment. And all the money made goes back into community projects. The scarecrows are judged on different categories, such as the funniest and the most traditional. “Why don’t we make Crowgun this year?” Pearl, my elder son, suggested. The idea was a nod to Australian breakdancer (霹雳舞者) Rachael Louise Gunn, 37, who became famous after her performance in the 2024 Paris Olympics. “That’s a great idea,” I said. We bought a parachute sports suit from a second-hand store and filled it with hay. Shaping Crowgun into a break-dancing pose was challenging — metal wires hidden inside let us twist its arms and legs upside down. As we were carefully adjusting its break-dancing pose, the kids couldn’t help but burst into laughter. On festival day, over 50 scarecrows lined the 14km road. Our Crowgun was there among them, standing next to figures like Marilyn Monroe, a huge spider. Pearl got a little scared when she saw the hairy legs of the spider, but she couldn’t help smiling at how energetic our Crowgun looked. Neighbors chatted at food stalls while kids played games nearby. When Crowgun won “the Funniest Scarecrow,” we cheered excitedly. Pearl’s face lit up with joy as I praised his clever idea. Now, we’re thinking about next year’s design. This festival proves even small towns can create big joy. To other rural communities: try something similar! Laughter and teamwork truly bring people together. 1．Why was the scarecrow festival originally started? A．To compete with neighboring towns’ affairs. B．To raise funds for rebuilding homes after disasters. C．To promote local sports clubs like the cricket team. D．To uplift the community during COVID-19 and hardships. 2．What made the family finally choose to create “Crowgun”? A．Pearl’s creative idea offering a fresh twist. B．Their aim to celebrate the 2024 Paris Olympics. C．Their desire to honor a famous athlete. D．Breakdancing scarecrows being easier to make. 3．What do the community members think of the festival? A．They consider it as overly competitive. B．They prefer fundraising to creativity. C．They prefer smaller, simpler affairs. D．They value it as a unifying and joyful tradition. 4．What message does the text convey? A．Sports-themed events are essential for rural towns. B．Creativity and teamwork can strengthen small communities. C．Children’s ideas always lead to success in competitions. D．Traditional scarecrow designs are losing popularity. 【答案】1．D 2．A 3．D 4．B 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了一个家庭参与2024年稻草人节（Scarecrow Festival）的经历。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段“The scarecrow festival had started during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, in an attempt to lift people’s spirits.(稻草人节始于2020年新冠肺炎疫情期间，旨在提振人们的精神。)”可知，稻草人节最初是为了在新冠肺炎疫情和困难时期提振社会。故选D。 2．推理判断题。根据第四段““Why don’t we make Crowgun this year?” Pearl, my elder son, suggested. The idea was a nod to Australian breakdancer (霹雳舞者) Rachael Louise Gunn, 37, who became famous after her performance in the 2024 Paris Olympics.(“我们今年为什么不做Crowgun呢？”我的大儿子Pearl建议道。这个想法是为了向37岁的澳大利亚霹雳舞者Rachael Louise Gunn致敬，她在2024年巴黎奥运会上的表演让她一举成名。)”可知，让这个家族最终选择创造“Crowgun”是因为Pearl的创意带来了新鲜的变化。故选A。 3．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Laughter and teamwork truly bring people together.(笑声和团队合作真的能让人们走到一起。)”可知，社区成员认为这个节日是一种团结和快乐的传统。故选D。 4．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“When Crowgun won “the Funniest Scarecrow,” we cheered excitedly. Pearl’s face lit up with joy as I praised his clever idea.(当Crowgun赢得“最滑稽稻草人”奖时，我们兴奋地欢呼起来。当我称赞Pearl这个聪明的想法时，他的脸上洋溢着喜悦。)”和最后一段“This festival proves even small towns can create big joy. To other rural communities: try something similar! Laughter and teamwork truly bring people together.(这个节日证明，即使是小城镇也能创造出巨大的欢乐。我想对其他农村社区说：试试类似的活动吧！欢笑和团队合作确实能把人们凝聚在一起。)”可知，本文传达的信息是创造力和团队合作能够增强小型社区的凝聚力。故选B。 Passage 2 （24-25高二下·湖南娄底·期中） We put limitations on ourselves when the fear of failure grows stronger than our will to succeed. That’s why we all need a push to help us reach further than we ever thought possible. That is the purpose of NubAbility Athletics Foundation, a nonprofit organization aimed to get “limb (肢体) different” youth — kids who are amputees (被截肢者) — “out of the stands, off the bench, and into mainstream sports.” The organization holds camps around the country, pairing kids and coaches with similar limb differences to help them reach their full physical potential. Tim, who was born without arms, certainly didn’t believe he could pull off a 20-inch box jump before he joined. This month, the 14-year-old participated in the weight-lifting and training program at a camp and achieved something amazing. In a video on the Internet, we see Tim’s coach teaching him to jump onto a box. With no arm strength, it seems like a tough task. While Tim pushes through his self-doubt and jumps, he still holds back on his first two tries and doesn’t stick the landing. Then, the coach pats her hands onto the box, yelling, “All the people who told you you can’t — right here, jump on them. Now!” This time, Tim puts all his energy into the jump. Still, it isn’t enough to make it all the way onto the box. Understandably, Tim grows frustrated and turns away as if to give up. But he’s not done yet. Tim turns back to the box with a look of pure determination, bends his knees. and launches himself onto the box! As his coaches cheer him on, the victorious teen jumps down and straights into his motivator’s arms, overwhelmed with emotion at what he just achieved. That day, Tim learned he is capable of so much more than he knew. 1．What is the mission of NubAbility Athletics Foundation? A．To find better treatments for amputees. B．To develop the full potential of the disabled. C．To help teenage amputees get involved in sports. D．To provide financial support for “limb different” youth. 2．Why did Tim fail in his first two tries to jump onto the box? A．He was afraid of getting hurt. B．His coach didn’t guide him well. C．He didn’t have enough arm strength. D．He lacked confidence in his own ability. 3．Which word can best describe the coach’s words? A．Encouraging. B．Funny. C．Comforting. D．Threatening. 4．What message can we get from Tim’s success? A．Life has no limitations. B．It is never too late to learn. C．A good beginning is half done. D．It is no use crying over spilled milk. 【答案】1．C 2．D 3．A 4．A 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了NubAbility体育基金会致力于帮助截肢青少年参与体育运动，并通过一个名叫Tim的男孩在基金会训练营中克服自我怀疑，成功完成20英寸箱跳的故事，展现了该基金会对青少年自信和潜能开发的积极影响。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段中“That is the purpose of NubAbility Athletics Foundation, a nonprofit organization aimed to get “limb (肢体) different” youth — kids who are amputees (被截肢者) — “out of the stands, off the bench, and into mainstream sports.” (这就是NubAbility体育基金会的宗旨，这是一个非营利组织，旨在让“肢体不同”的青少年 —— 截肢的孩子 —— “走出看台，离开替补席，进入主流体育运动。”)”可知，NubAbility体育基金会的使命是帮助青少年截肢者参与体育运动。故选C项。 2．推理判断题。根据第四段中“While Tim pushes through his self-doubt and jumps, he still holds back on his first two tries and doesn’t stick the landing. (虽然Tim克服了自我怀疑，跳了起来，但在前两次尝试中，他仍然有所保留，没有站稳)”以及第五段中“Understandably, Tim grows frustrated and turns away as if to give up. (可以理解的是，Tim变得沮丧，转过身去，好像要放弃了)”可推知，Tim前两次尝试跳上箱子都失败了是因为他对自己的能力缺乏信心。故选D项。 3．推理判断题。根据第五段中“Then, the coach pats her hands onto the box, yelling, “All the people who told you you can’t — right here, jump on them. Now!” (然后，教练拍着手，跳到箱子上，喊道：“所有告诉你你不能的人 —— 就在这里，跳到他们身上。现在！”)”可推知，教练的话是在鼓励Tim。故选A项。 4．推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句“That day, Tim learned he is capable of so much more than he knew. (那天，Tim了解到自己的能力远超自己的想象)”并结合全文内容可知，文章通过讲述Tim在NubAbility体育基金会的帮助下克服自我怀疑，成功完成20英寸箱跳的故事，传达了一个信息：人的潜力是无限的，只要勇于尝试，就能超越自我。由此可推知，我们能从Tim的成功中得到“生活没有限制”的启示。故选A项。 主题01 人与社会 Passage 1 （24-25高二下·湖南长沙·期中） Not even a flooded river could stand between Mary Breckinridge and the hospital her patients needed. A heavy rain ruined the banks beside Mary Breckinridge’s Wendover, Kentucky, clinic. She had to find a way to get her five patients to the hospital in Lexington. With a neighbor’s help, Mary and the nurses built a boat. They named it Ambulance, and on the morning of December 30th, 1926, Mary, another nurse, and the patients set off down the river. After sixteen wild miles on the dangerous river, they arrived at the train station in Krypton. As she watched the train pull away with her patients safely on board, Mary smiled and waved. Mary had not planned to be a nurse. She was the daughter of a wealthy Kentucky politician. As a child, Mary was influenced by her family who had always been concerned about the poor people of the state. When she grew up, Mary was inspired to become a nurse. So in 1925 Mary hired a few British-trained nurses and, with some money from her family, started the Frontier Nursing Service in Wendover, Kentucky. Before Mary and her nurses came, the mountain people lived a hard life. Families made so little money that they could not afford doctors or medicine. Many children had diseases and nearly every person was malnourished for lack of food. Mary and the nurses built clinics and a small hospital deep in the forests of Leslie County. There were no roads, electricity, or telephones. Each day the nurses rode on horseback to faraway farms, often in bad weather, to answer calls for help. They worked hard to keep an eye on their patients. The Frontier Nursing Service grew. Today their nursing service reaches far beyond the Kentucky mountains. Medical professionals from all over the world come to Wendover to study rural health care in action. When these men and women go back to their own countries, they are prepared to help people in need. 1．How did Mary get her patients to Krypton? A．By train. B．By car. C．By water. D．On horseback. 2．What was Mary’s parents’ attitude toward her and the nurses’ service? A．Doubtful. B．Uncaring. C．Supportive. D．Hopeful. 3．What does the underlined word “malnourished” in paragraph 4 mean? A．In poor health. B．Short of money. C．Afraid of strangers. D．Out of luck. 4．What can we learn about Mary Breckinridge from the text? A．She trained all of the nurses herself. B．She never had enough money for her work. C．She remains a great influence on health care today. D．She cured diseases in the mountains all around the world. 【答案】1．C 2．C 3．A 4．C 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了前线护理服务人、先锋护士——Mary Breckinridge给山区人民提供现代医疗护理的事迹。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段中的“With a neighbor’s help, Mary and the nurses built a boat. They named it Ambulance, and on the morning of December 30th, 1926, Mary, another nurse, and the patients set off down the river. After sixteen wild miles on the dangerous river, they arrived at the train station in Krypton.(在邻居的帮助下，Mary和护士们造了一艘船。他们把它命名为救护车。1926年12月30日上午，另一名护士Mary和病人们出发顺河而下。在危险的河上狂奔了16英里后，他们到达了Krypton的火车站)”可知，在邻居的帮助下，Mary和护士们建造了一只船运送病人们到达了Krypton的火车站。故选C。 2．推理判断题。根据第三段中“As a child, Mary was influenced by her family who had always been concerned about the poor people of the state.(作为一个孩子，Mary受到她的家庭的影响，她的家庭一直关心国家的穷人)”可知，Mary的家庭一直关心国家的穷人，由此可推知Mary的父母对于她和护士们所提供的服务持支持态度，故选C。 3．词句猜测题。根据第四段中划线词后的“for lack of food(因为缺少食物)”可知，划线词意为“营养不良的”，即由于缺少食物几乎人人营养不良。故选A。 4．推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Today their nursing service reaches far beyond the Kentucky mountains. Medical professionals from all over the world come to Wendover to study rural health care in action.(今天，他们的护理服务远远超出了肯塔基山脉。来自世界各地的医学专家来到Wendover学习农村医疗保健的实践)”可知，来自世界各地的医学专业人员来到Wendover研究农村卫生保健的实际情况。由此可知，Mary Breckinridge仍然影响着今天的医护行业。故选C。 Passage 2 （24-25高二下·湖南·期中） In 2018, 12-year-old Damian Earley was walking his dog when he noticed garbage cans knocked over by the wind, spilling trash onto the streets of his Columbus neighborhood. Disturbed by the environmental damage, he was inspired to create The Garbage Lot, a heavy platform with a locking mechanism to keep trash cans upright (直立). His invention won the “Industry Innovator Award” at Ohio’s Invention Convention and later earned first place at the national level. Damian’s path as an inventor was shaped by his participation in the Ohio Invention League (the OIL), a nonprofit that provides free STEM education to K-12 students. Through hands-on invention competitions, he learned to “sell” his invention to judges. Writing and crafting his presentation helped sharpen his communication skills and practice entrepreneurship (创业), which are crucial for the future employment market where students will likely work in jobs that have not yet been created. Damian’s teachers, particularly Sarah Priebe, admired his strong work ethic. She recalled Damian’s exceptional oral presentation in eighth grade, “You can tell he put a lot of time and practice into it. Many gifted students don’t seem to need to work as hard to excel at school, but he is always engaged and ready.” Elena and Zavier, Damian’s siblings, followed in his footsteps, creating their own inventions and receiving awards. Elena, 14, developed a device to remove bad smells from washing machines, while 11-year-old Zavier invented a drone for people with limited mobility. Their father, Matt, shared that watching the invention process take place had changed how he addressed issues in his vinyl records (黑胶唱片) business. 1．What drove Damian to create The Garbage Lot? A．His attention to neighborhood safety. B．The mess caused by fallen trash cans. C．His interest in environmental science. D．The need for an invention competition. 2．How does the OIL program prepare students for future jobs? A．By providing paid STEM education. B．By creating jobs that haven’t existed. C．By promoting entrepreneurial thinking. D．By selling invention presentation skills. 3．What quality of Damian impressed his teachers? A．Commitment. B．Intelligence. C．Curiosity. D．Leadership. 64．What can be a suitable title for the text? A．A Family of Inventors. B．From Inspired to Inspiring. C．Solving Problems with OIL. D．Turning Trash into Treasure. 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．A 4．B 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了12岁的Damian Earley因受到社区环境问题的启发而发明了The Garbage Lot，并在Ohio Invention League (OIL)的支持下取得成功，他的家人也深受启发的故事。 1．细节理解题。 根据第一段中“In 2018, 12-year-old Damian Earley was walking his dog when he noticed garbage cans knocked over by the wind, spilling trash onto the streets of his Columbus neighborhood. Disturbed by the environmental damage, he was inspired to create The Garbage Lot, a heavy platform with a locking mechanism to keep trash cans upright (直立). ( 2018年，12岁的Damian Earley在遛狗时注意到垃圾桶被风吹倒，垃圾散落在哥伦布附近的街道上。受到环境破坏的困扰，他受到启发，创造了The Garbage Lot，这是一个带有锁定机制的沉重平台，可以保持垃圾桶直立。)”可知，Damian发明The Garbage Lot的原因是受到倒下垃圾桶导致街道混乱的触动。故选B。 2．推理判断题。根据第二段中“Through hands-on invention competitions, he learned to “sell” his invention to judges. Writing and crafting his presentation helped sharpen his communication skills and practice entrepreneurship (创业), which are crucial for the future employment market where students will likely work in jobs that have not yet been created. (通过亲身参与发明竞赛，他学会了向评委“推销”自己的发明。撰写和精心制作他的演讲有助于提高他的沟通能力和实践创业精神，这对未来的就业市场至关重要，因为学生们可能会从事尚未创造的工作。)”可知，Ohio Invention League通过培养学生的沟通能力和创业思维，帮助他们为未来可能出现的工作做好准备。故选C。 3．细节理解题。根据第三段中““You can tell he put a lot of time and practice into it. Many gifted students don’t seem to need to work as hard to excel at school, but he is always engaged and ready.” (“你可以看出他花了很多时间和练习。许多有天赋的学生似乎不需要像他那样努力学习就能在学校脱颖而出，但他总是很投入，随时准备好。”)”可知，Damian令老师印象深刻的品质是他对工作的专注和投入。故选A。 4．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其最后一段“Elena and Zavier, Damian’s siblings, followed in his footsteps, creating their own inventions and receiving awards. Elena, 14, developed a device to remove bad smells from washing machines, while 11-year-old Zavier invented a drone for people with limited mobility. Their father, Matt, shared that watching the invention process take place had changed how he addressed issues in his vinyl records (黑胶唱片) business. (Damian的兄弟姐妹Elena和Zavier跟随他的脚步，创造了自己的发明并获得了奖项。14岁的Elena发明了一种去除洗衣机异味的装置，11岁的Zavier为行动不便的人发明了一种无人机。他们的父亲Matt分享说，目睹发明过程的发生改变了他处理黑胶唱片业务问题的方式。)”可知，文章主要讲的是12岁的Damian Earley因受到社区环境问题的启发而发明了The Garbage Lot，并在Ohio Invention League (OIL)的支持下取得成功，他的家人也深受启发的故事。故文章最适合的标题是“从受到启发到影响他人”。故选B项。 主题02 人与自我 Passage 1 （23-24高一下·湖南·期中） My earliest memories are of having two very old parents. My mother was 42 when I was born, which back then was seriously old to have a baby, and a little risky too. My oldest brother was 14 years older than me and the middle brother ten years older. When I was quite small they had both left home. I grew up almost like an only child. I tended to amuse myself and play in the garden and draw and paint and shoot. I suppose you do learn as an only child that you’re going to have to get on with life by yourself. You’re going to have to find things that excite and move you. I was shipped off to Sunday school in Edinburgh when I was seven years old. I felt a proper Charlie, because I was the only little boy among the Sunday school children who was wearing a kilt (苏格兰短裙). I also felt rather threatened by the stories we were taught. Old-school Christianity was filled with punishment and anger that I didn’t really enjoy. For the rest of my attendance at Sunday school, I didn’t get closer than climbing a tree outside the church and hiding in the branches, waiting until the children came out, then dropping down to join the school team and walking out of the church to be met by my parents, who were then reassured that I’d been to Sunday school as I was supposed to. When my parents moved to Blackpool, my aunt, who came to live with us, took me to two or three concerts. I got to see Cliff Richard, Adam Faith and the early Rolling Stones performing at Blackpool’s ABC Theatre-which, when I was 12 years old, was an important moment of recognising that that isn’t what I wanted to do with the rest of my life, because the music they played was not what I was enjoying. I was drawn to the blues and Black American folk music. It felt very real and human. 1．What do we know about the author’s childhood? A．Many things moved him. B．He had to do many things on his own. C．He liked playing in the garden. D．He got on badly with his brothers. 2．Which is closest in meaning to the underlined phrase “a proper Charlie” in paragraph 2? A．A real fool. B．An independent child. C．A capable student. D．A clever student. 3．What experiences did the author have in his Sunday school? A．He liked wearing a kilt. B．He often studied in the trees. C．He was threatened by others. D．He was often absent from school. 4．What can we infer from the text? A．His brothers were not important to him. B．He never walked into the church. C．His parents took him to some concerts. D．The blues caught his interest. 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．D 4．D 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者的童年经历以及是如何开始对蓝调音乐感兴趣的。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段“I tended to amuse myself and play in the garden and draw and paint and shoot. I suppose you do learn as an only child that you’re going to have to get on with life by yourself. You’re going to have to find things that excite and move you.(我喜欢自娱自乐，在花园里玩耍，画画，射击。我想，作为家中唯一的孩子，你确实学会了必须独自生活。你必须找到让你兴奋和感动的东西)”可知，作者童年不得不自己做很多事情。故选B。 2．词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“because I was the only little boy among the Sunday school children who was wearing a kilt (因为我是主日学校孩子中唯一一个穿着苏格兰方格呢短裙的小男孩)”可知，作者是主日学校里唯一一个穿苏格兰裙的小男孩，所以作者觉得自己像个傻瓜。故划线词意思是“一个真正的傻瓜”。故选A。 3．推理判断题。根据第二段“For the rest of my attendance at Sunday school, I didn’t get closer than climbing a tree outside the church and hiding in the branches, waiting until the children came out, then dropping down to join the school team and walking out of the church to be met by my parents, who were then reassured that I’d been to Sunday school as I was supposed to.(在我去主日学校的其余时间里，我爬上教堂外的一棵树，躲在树枝里，等孩子们出来，然后下车加入学校的队伍，走出教堂，迎接我的父母，然后我向他们保证，我已经按照预期上了主日学校)”可知，作者在主日学校的其余时间里，都躲在树上等着下课，可得出作者经常缺课。故选D。 4．推理判断题。根据最后一段“I was drawn to the blues and Black American folk music.(我被蓝调和美国黑人民间音乐所吸引)”可推知，蓝调引起了他的兴趣。故选D。 Passage 2 （24-25高二下·湖南·期中） I was surprised to find the congestion (拥塞) outside Layla’s primary school was unusually absent—I’d driven right into a parking space, and I was on time, for once. The school bell rang, and in a moment a stream of children made their way through the gate. But something was different—the kids were piling into vehicles in threes and fours. Before I could enquire my daughter Layla, Mr Trent, the deputy head, approached. “Mrs Pavis, did you not read our letter?” Letter? What letter? I had a history of not looking out for them, and not reading them in most cases. “The letter? Of course. It must have just slipped my mind—I’ve been away with work.” Now I was digging around in Layla’s messy schoolbag at home. Eventually, I found several letters, all addressing the same topic—parking outside the school gates. Apparently with some parents parking illegally, the police were about to get involved. “Why didn’t you give me these letters?” I demanded. Layla shrugged. “I forgot.” I was about to launch into a severe lecture when it occurred to me that I had always forgotten—I had forgotten to give Layla her money for cookery that morning and forgotten to hang out the kids’ washed clothes. I contained myself and figured out that they wanted the parents to car-pool (拼车). I spent the next half hour ringing round Layla’s friends’ parents, enquiring if they would like to car-pool with us. Unfortunately, they were all sorted. It was my own fault—I should have read those letters ages ago. “Er... I overheard others talking about it,” Layla said, “They said they didn’t know who would car-pool with us, because we’re always late.” I flushed instantly. We were a disorganised family, and I was the one to blame. I resolved to change. With responsibility for my kids, I find I am never, ever late. It’s good for Layla and for her older brothers, and it’s good for me, because now I never leave the house unprepared. I’ve even started checking the kids’ schoolbags for notes from school. 1．What did the author notice when the school was over? A．It was hard to find a parking space. B．Children were picked up in groups. C．Her daughter was absent from class. D．She arrived much earlier than others. 2．What stopped the author criticizing her daughter? A．The reflection of her daily routine. B．The realization of her carelessness. C．The knowledge of her kid’s character. D．The awareness of her kid’s depression. 3．Why did others refuse to car-pool with them according to Layla? A．Because they contacted them late. B．Because they failed to keep the house tidy. C．Because they couldn’t be on time. D．Because they ignored the school’s request. 4．What can we learn from the passage? A．Action creates motivation. B．Mother’s love never changes. C．It’s never too late to mend. D．Patience is the key to success. 【答案】1．B 2．B 3．C 4．C 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者在参与孩子的学校生活中，发现自己粗心大意，并且因为迟到，其他家长拒绝和自己拼车，于是作者决心改变，承担起对孩子的责任，再也没有迟到过。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段“The school bell rang, and in a moment a stream of children made their way through the gate. But something was different—the kids were piling into vehicles in threes and fours.(学校的铃响了，不一会儿，一群孩子从大门进来了。但有些不同——孩子们三三两四地挤进了车里)”可知，放学后作者注意到了孩子们被成群地接走。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据第三段“I was about to launch into a severe lecture when it occurred to me that I had always forgotten—I had forgotten to give Layla her money for cookery that morning and forgotten to hang out the kids’ washed clothes.(我正准备严厉地训斥一顿，突然想到我总是忘记——那天早上我忘了给莱拉做饭的钱，也忘了把孩子们洗好的衣服晾在外面)”可知，意识到自己的粗心大意阻止了作者批评她的女儿。故选B。 3．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段““Er... I overheard others talking about it,” Layla said, “They said they didn’t know who would car-pool with us, because we’re always late.”(“呃……“我无意中听到别人在谈论这件事，”莱拉说，“他们说他们不知道谁会和我们拼车，因为我们总是迟到。”)”可知，根据Layla的说法，其他人拒绝与他们拼车是因为他们不能准时。故选C。 4．推理判断题。根据最后一段“I resolved to change. With responsibility for my kids, I find I am never, ever late. It’s good for Layla and for her older brothers, and it’s good for me, because now I never leave the house unprepared. I’ve even started checking the kids’ schoolbags for notes from school.(我决心改变。有了对孩子的责任，我发现我从来没有迟到过。这对莱拉和她的哥哥们都有好处，对我也有好处，因为现在我再也不会毫无准备地出门了。我甚至开始检查孩子们的书包里有没有学校的笔记)”结合文章主要讲述了作者在参与孩子的学校生活中，发现自己粗心大意，并且因为迟到，其他家长拒绝和自己拼车，于是作者决心改变，承担起对孩子的责任，再也没有迟到过。可推知，文章告诉我们“亡羊补牢，犹未晚也”的道理。故选C。 主题03 人与自然 Passage 1 （24-25高一下·湖南·期中） Bali is a tiny island that is part of Indonesia (印度尼西亚) today.

They were not allowed to fight. At one time there had been terrible wars on Bali.Then the people decided it was wrong to fight or have wars. They made rules to keep apart those people who wanted to fight. Bali was divided into seven small kingdoms. The land around each kingdom was kept empty, and no one lived there.

The Toronto teenager carried bags full of donated clothes and hygiene (卫生) products for people living on the streets or in shelters. Grosberg’s father once suffered a lot from depression and mental illness. After his death, Grosberg decided he wanted to help others dealing with the same problem. His solution was the Conan Fund, so-called after his father’s high school nickname for his strength and popularity. According to the fund’s website, the money raised is donated to charities, hospitals and organizations to make a chance and improve resources. It didn’t take long for people living in the shelter on Wellington Street in Liberty Village to come out to receive what Grosberg was offering. From bags of socks, to hats, gloves, jeans and winter jackets, the people were excited and appreciative of the generosity. Martuia Archibald, 30, had a huge smile on her face as she put on a winter jacket and turned up the collar. She didn’t have a winter jacket until Grosberg arrived, and was touched by the gesture. “It means that there are people out there that still consider that I need warm clothing as well,” she said. Grosberg’s mother said her son’s spirit and kindness motivated her. “He inspires me,” she said. “He shows me the way to move forward after his father is gone. He shows me the way to turn something terrible into something really positive.” That’s exactly what Grosberg is trying to achieve. “I think that doing this is not only inspiring more changes in myself, but hopefully can inspire a lot of others to do the exact same thing I’m doing,” Grosberg said. 1．What inspired Grosberg to set up the Conan Fund? A．His father’s suffering. B．His mother’s suggestion. C．The story of another teenager. D．The hope to cure mental illness. 2．What does the author want to show by mentioning Martuia Archibald? A．The change the Conan Fund brought to shelters. B．The most urgently needed supplies for the locals. C．The warmth needy people received from Grosberg.

C．She co-founded the Conan Fund. D．She is always ready to lend a helping hand. 4．What can be a suitable title for the text? A．Inspiring People Around Oneself B．Seeing the Positive Side of Everything C．Becoming a Teenager with Great Confidence D．Turning a Struggle into a Charitable Movement 【答案】1．A 2．C 3．B 4．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了15岁的Jacob Grosberg为了帮助那些有健康问题，尤其是精神问题的人，他在街头分发捐赠的衣物和卫生用品，并设立了Conan Fund基金。 1．细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Grosberg’s father once suffered a lot from depression and mental illness. After his death, Grosberg decided he wanted to help others dealing with the same problem. His solution was the Conan Fund, so-called after his father’s high school nickname for his strength and popularity.”（Grosberg的父亲曾经因为抑郁症和精神疾病受苦。他去世后，Grosberg决定帮助其他有同样问题的人。他的解决方案是建立Conan Fund，这个名字来源于他父亲高中时的绰号，因为他的实力和知名度。）可知，是父亲的痛苦激发了Grosberg设立Conan Fund。故选A。 2．推理判断题。根据文章第三段“She didn’t have a winter jacket until Grosberg arrived, and was touched by the gesture. “It means that there are people out there that still consider that I need warm clothing as well,” she said.”（直到Grosberg来了，她才有了一件冬季外套，她被这个举动感动了。‘这意味着还有人在考虑我也需要温暖的衣物，’她说。）可知，作者提到马Martuia Archibald是想要表达，需要帮助的人从Grosberg那里得到温暖。故选C。 3．推理判断题。根据文章第四段“Grosberg’s mother said her son’s spirit and kindness motivated her. “He inspires me,” she said.”（Grosberg的母亲说，她儿子的精神和善良激励了她。‘他激励了我，’她说。）可知，Grosberg的母亲认为她的儿子是她的激励，故选B。 4．主旨大意题。根据最后一段“I think that doing this is not only inspiring more changes in myself, but hopefully can inspire a lot of others to do the exact same thing I’m doing,” Grosberg said.”（格罗斯伯格说：‘我认为这样做不仅能激励我自己做出更多改变，而且希望能激励很多其他人做我正在做的事情。’）并结合Grosberg的经历可知，他在经历了父亲因病去世后，将艰难化作帮助他人的力量，创办Conan Fund去帮助有需要的人。D选项“把艰难变成慈善运动”能够概括本文主旨，适合作为最佳标题。故选D。 / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
