Stewart’s affection for animals was inspired by his parents. By the age of six, he knew he wanted to be a vet. After completing a veterinary science program in Colorado, he worked as a vet for a decade. In 2008, he became the head vet at a county-run animal shelter in an area struck by the financial crisis. There, he witnessed the heartbreaking reality of abandoned pets. Four years into the job, Stewart found himself burnt out, filled with guilt, and ready to quit. Then, one morning on his way to work, he saw a homeless man with a dog. He treated the dog’s skin condition, and the transformation was remarkable. The grateful owner said to him, “Thank you for not ignoring me and for treating my dog.” That moment changed everything for Stewart. “It was then that I decided to get back to saving animals, but on my own terms,” he said. A few weeks later, Stewart established a pop-up veterinary clinic at a soup kitchen. When clients there encouraged him to take his services further, his new role as the “Street Vet” began. In addition to treating common illnesses, Stewart offers vaccinations(接种疫苗)and general wellness checks, and promotes fear-free pet care. Many of those he helps not only express deep gratefulness but also form strong bonds with him, seeing him as someone who cares for their pets and acknowledges their humanity. “I dream that people from all over the world will want to imitate what I do,” Stewart shared. Currently, he’s building a network of volunteers, technicians, and hospital staff. “These are people who’ve reached out to me, inspired by what I’m doing, asking, 'How can I do it too?’ ” he said. 1. What can be known about Stewart’s present job? A. He takes in abandoned animals. B. He manages an animal rescue center. C. He is employed by a scientific program. D. He tends to the pets of homeless individuals. 2. Why is Stewart’s work at the shelter mentioned? A. To highlight his skills and abilities as a vet. B. To show why he decided to shift his career direction. C. To illustrate what the job might look like in the future. D. To demonstrate the difficulties and pressures of the job. 3. What do many people think of Stewart? A. Merciful. B. Creative. C. Humble. D. Tolerant. 4. What does the underlined word “imitate” in the last paragraph mean? A. Feel admiration for. B. Become aware of. C. Follow the example of. D. Show consideration for. 【答案】1. D 2. B 3. A 3.

Four years into the job, Stewart found himself burnt out, filled with guilt, and ready to quit.(在那里，他目睹了被遗弃宠物令人心碎的现实。工作四年后，Stewart身心俱疲，满心愧疚，准备辞职)”以及第3段中“That moment changed everything for Stewart. "“t was then that I decided to get back to saving animals, but on my own terms,”he said.(那一刻改变了Stewart的一切。他说：“就在那时，我决定重新开始拯救动物，但要用我自己的方式”)”可知，提及他在收容所的工作是为了和后文他转变职业方向的经历呼应，说明他转变职业方向的原因。故选B。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据第4段中“Many of those he helps not only express deep gratefulness but also form strong bonds with him, seeing him as someone who cares for their pets and acknowledges their humanity.(许多他帮助过的人不仅表达了深深的感激之情，还与他建立了深厚的联系，把他看作一个关心他们宠物、尊重他们人性的人)”可知，人们认为Stewart是富有同情心的。故选A。 【4题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第5段中 Stewart所说的“I dream that people from all over the world will want to imitate what I do(我梦想全世界的人都想……我所做的)”和“Currently, he’s building a network of volunteers, technicians, and hospital staff. “These are people who’ve reached out to me, inspired by what I’m doing, asking, 'How can I do it too?’ ’ he said.(目前，他正在建立一个由志愿者、技术人员和医院工作人员组成的网络。他说：“这些人受到我所做事情的启发，主动联系我，问我'我也能怎么做呢？”)”可知，这些人是受到鼓舞，想要做和他一样的事。因此“imitate”在此语境中意为“效仿，学习……的榜样”。故选C。 2.（长春市2026届高三质量监测 一） Hannah was an adventurous spirit with an imagination far beyond her time.

They began their work with 3D printers to create parts for their robots, but they wanted their impact to be greater. “It started off with a team idea,” Tommy said. “We were trying to figure out how we could make a difference to society as a first-year robotics team. We later thought of the idea of using 3D printers to make prostheses (假肢), like hands.” The team worked with IMAHelps, a nonprofit organization, and received help from the Science Robotics Initiative. Shortly after, they began working with their first person in need of a prosthesis. “We started off with making an artificial (人造的) arm for Samantha, a 12-year-old little girl in Ecuador who lost her arm in a bus accident,” Tommy explains. “We got her measurements and then made the prosthesis. IMAHelps brought it to Samantha and it fit her perfectly and worked well.” “Samantha had a dream to write, and we wanted to help with that,” adds Daniel. It didn’t take long for other kids to see Samantha’s prosthesis. A young man named Ernest Priester, 13, asked to have an artificial foot. Later, the team offered to make him one for free. “He started tearing up. It brought so much joy to his eyes.” Tommy says. This July, the team traveled to Ecuador to deliver four more prostheses to those in need. “We were so happy to help,” Tommy shares. The team also plans on continuing to give away their 3D creations. “You can do whatever you want to do when it comes to helping people and changing the world,” Tommy says. “There are no age limits.” “By offering a little bit,” adds Daniel. “We can change a lot.” 13．To make the robotics team’s impact greater, Tommy and Daniel decided to________. A．create robot parts B．start a robotics course C．make prostheses D．invent a 3D printer 14．What did the robotics team do for Samantha? A．They set up IMAHelps for her.

Well, since last month. That’s when we had the solar panels installed, linked to an app on my phone. Now, wherever I am, I can open the app and see how much electricity we are creating and how much we are consuming. Right now, we’re exporting 2.37 kilowatts to the grid (电网). I enjoy the feeling. Yes, I’m saving the planet. More to the point: I’m making upwards of 10 cents an hour, DOING NOTHING. Certainly, you have to put in a bit of effort. Ever since I became an energy exporter, I have been patrolling (巡逻) the house, trying to maximize our production. Of course, I get some complaints from my wife, Jocasta, along the lines of “I was using that light to read a book” or “Why didn’t you save my work before turning off my computer,” but I think she is grateful for my assistance. The only problem? Just last night, I turned off everything, but we were still consuming 0.05 of a kilowatt. I checked the fridge. It was not humming (哼鸣). All the overhead lights were out. Nothing was on standby. Yet there it was. I hardly slept, my mind trying to work through every corner of the house. Back at office, I find it hard to tear my eyes away from the app. Right now, it’s midday. Jocasta is at home. I glance at the app. Oh no! Clouds overhead! Disaster! We’re now producing nothing. Nothing at all. And consumption is suddenly through the roof. We’re using up grid power. What’s Jocasta up to? Running a factory? The next day, at work, around midday, I check the app just to calculate how much I’ve earned. What? Disaster! Clouds overhead again and yet power still being used. Jocasta is out of the house. Why, oh why, has Jocasta left the TV remote in reach of the dog? I must have a word with him. You see, sometimes it’s hard to be ahead of your time. 17. What can we learn about the author from paragraph 1? A. He is a creative businessman. B. He takes pride in the solar gains. C. He enjoys launching campaigns. D. He has a gift for app development. 18. What does Jocasta complain about? A. The unknown waste of power. B. Her family’s impatient attitude. C. The unstable supply of electricity. D. Her husband’s unreasonable behavior. 19. What does the underlined phrase “through the roof” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Rocketing. B. Changing. C. Freezing. D. Diving. 20. What message does the text convey? A. Actions speak louder than words. B. A penny saved is a penny earned. C. Great minds think ahead of their time. D. Technology is a good servant but a bad master. 【答案】17. B 18. D 19. A 20. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。作者安装了太阳能板并通过手机APP监控发电量与用电量，为此过度控制家中用电，甚至因此引发家人抱怨，还因天气、意外耗电等情况焦虑不已，幽默地展现了人们在享受科技便利的同时，也容易被科技过度支配的生活状态。 【17题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“I enjoy the feeling. Yes, I’m saving the planet. More to the point: I’m making upwards of 10 cents an hour, DOING NOTHING.(我很享受这种感觉。没错，我在拯救地球。更重要的是：我什么都不用做，每小时就能赚10多美分。)”可知，作者为自己利用太阳能获得收益并节能的行为感到自豪。故选B。 【18题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“I get some complaints from my wife, Jocasta, along the lines of 'I was using that light to read a book’ or 'Why didn’t you save my work before turning off my computer’(我妻子乔卡斯塔会有些抱怨，比如'我正用那盏灯看书呢’或者'你关我电脑之前怎么不保存我的文件’)”可知，妻子抱怨丈夫不合理的关灯、关电脑等控制用电的行为。故选D。 【19题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段“Oh no! Clouds overhead! Disaster! We’re now producing nothing. Nothing at all. And consumption is suddenly through the roof. We’re using up grid power.(哦不！乌云密布！糟了！我们现在一点电都发不出来了。而用电量却突然through the roof。我们正在耗尽电网的电力。)”可知，太阳能不发电时，用电量急剧上升，through the roof意为“急剧上升、飞涨”，与rocketing含义一致。故选A。 【20题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“Well, since last month. That’s when we had the solar panels installed, linked to an app on my phone. Now, wherever I am, I can open the app and see how much electricity we are creating and how much we are consuming.(嗯，是从上个月开始算的。就在上个月，我们家装了太阳能板，还连了我手机上的一个应用。现在不管我在哪儿，只要打开这个应用，就能看到我们发了多少电、用了多少电。)”、倒数第二段中“Back at office, I find it hard to tear my eyes away from the app.(回到办公室，我发现我的眼睛很难从这个应用程序上移开。) ”、最后一段中“You see, sometimes it’s hard to be ahead of your time.(你看，有时候走在时代的前面是很难的。)”并结合全文可知，作者借助太阳能和APP管理用电本是科技带来的便利，却反过来被这个监控应用控制了生活，时时刻刻牵挂耗电量，一点波动就焦虑不已，文章传达出“科技是好的仆人，但容易成为糟糕的主人”的道理。故选D。 6.（湖北省十一校2025年秋季学期高三年级12月质量检测） My undergraduate student needed advice after yet another failed experiment. Sitting across from me, she looked exhausted — frustrated even. I heard myself say, “This is part of research. You just have to push through.” But even as the words left my mouth, I felt uneasy. She nodded silently and shifted her posture. Afterward, she began showing up less frequently and eventually stopped coming altogether. I tried to explain it away: undergraduates sometimes get busy with coursework, lose interest or change direction, but deep down, I wondered what I could have done differently. I became a mentor (导师) during my second year of Ph. D. but didn't get much guidance on how to do it. I learned only by doing. There were moments I felt proud of. One student started out quiet and unsure, but over time grew into a most independent and confident young researcher. Before graduating, she told me, “You are the reason I stuck with this.” That moment stayed with me. But so did the other one — the silence, the absences, the slow fade-out. Had I failed her? It wasn't until the final year of my Ph. D. that I came across a leaflet for a mentorship training workshop. Skeptical at first, I decided to try it. The program, called Entering Mentoring, brought together graduate students for weekly discussions. For the first time, I had the space to explore the invisible labor and emotional complexity of mentoring. One session asked us to reflect on our own practices. I began to realize what might have been missing in my relationship with the student who had drifted away. I had never invited her to share her goals or concerns. I could have been more attentive to her unspoken struggles. After the workshop, I began changing how I interacted with students. I now start by asking how they're doing, not just experimental details. This shift has led to more honest conversations. I've learned that good mentors are built through reflection and training. I wish I'd attended that workshop earlier, but I'm grateful I did at all. 21. What primarily caused the student's withdrawal according to paragraph 1? A. Demanding research challenges. B. Heavy academic workload. C. Repetitive failures in research. D. Unaddressed inner struggles. 22. Why did the author mention the change of another student? A. To highlight the contrast in mentoring outcomes. B. To illustrate his lack of proper guidance. C. To showcase his pride in her achievement. D. To explain his own research breakthrough. 23. What did the workshop mainly focus on? A. Developing academic research skills. B. Encouraging discussions among graduate students. C. Exploring the interpersonal aspects of mentoring. D. Demonstrating diverse personal mentoring approaches. 24. Which of the following can best describe the author? A. Strict and intelligent. B. Disciplined but inexperienced. C. Thoughtful but self-doubting. D. Responsible and reflective. 【答案】21. D 22. A 23. C 24. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述作者在攻读博士学位第二年时担任导师，因指导方式不当导致一名学生退出研究，之后通过参加指导工作坊反思自身问题、改进交流方式，最终领悟到优秀的指导工作需要反思与训练的故事。 【21题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“My undergraduate student needed advice after yet another failed experiment. Sitting across from me, she looked exhausted — frustrated even. I heard myself say, 'This is part of research. You just have to push through.' But even as the words left my mouth, I felt uneasy. She nodded silently and shifted her posture. Afterward, she began showing up less frequently and eventually stopped coming altogether. (我的一名本科学生在又一次实验失败后向我寻求建议。她坐在我对面，看上去疲惫不堪——甚至有些沮丧。我开导她说：'这就是科研的一部分，你只能坚持下去。'但话一出口，我就感到有些不安。她默默地点点头，换了个姿势。之后，她来实验室的次数越来越少，最终彻底不来了。)”以及第三段中“I began to realize what might have been missing in my relationship with the student who had drifted away. I had never invited her to share her goals or concerns. I could have been more attentive to her unspoken struggles. (我开始意识到，我和那个渐行渐远的学生之间，可能缺少了一些东西。我从未邀请她分享自己的目标或顾虑，本应该更留意她那些未说出口的挣扎。)”可知，学生因实验失败而疲惫沮丧，作者只是简单地让她“坚持”，并未关注她内心的挣扎，也没有引导她倾诉顾虑，后续作者的反思也印证了这一点，由此可推断，学生退出的主要原因是内心的挣扎没有被重视和疏导。故选D。 【22题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“I became a mentor during my second year of Ph.D. but didn't get much guidance on how to do it. I learned only by doing. There were moments I felt proud of. One student started out quiet and unsure, but over time grew into a most independent and confident young researcher. Before graduating, she told me, 'You are the reason I stuck with this.' That moment stayed with me. But so did the other one — the silence, the absences, the slow fade-out. Had I failed her? (我在攻读博士学位的第二年成为了导师，但当时并没有得到太多关于如何做好导师的指导。我只能边做边学。也有一些让我感到自豪的时刻。有一名学生起初沉默寡言、缺乏自信，但随着时间的推移，她成长为了一名非常独立且自信的年轻研究人员。毕业前，她告诉我：'是你让我坚持了下来。'那一刻令我印象深刻。但另一个场景也同样令我难忘——沉默、缺席，以及逐渐淡出的身影。是我让她失望了吗？)”可知，作者提到另一名学生的转变是为了通过这两种截然不同的指导结果形成对比，引出自己对指导方式的反思。故选A。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“The program, called Entering Mentoring, brought together graduate students for weekly discussions. For the first time, I had the space to explore the invisible labor and emotional complexity of mentoring. (这个名为《步入导师行列》的项目，召集研究生们开展每周一次的讨论会。我生平第一次有机会去探究导师工作中那些无形的付出，以及这份工作背后复杂的情感内涵。)”可知，研讨会主要关注指导中的人际关系层面。故选C。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“I began to realize what might have been missing in my relationship with the student who had drifted away. I had never invited her to share her goals or concerns. I could have been more attentive to her unspoken struggles. (我开始意识到，我和那个渐行渐远学生之间，可能缺少了一些东西。我从未邀请她分享自己的目标或顾虑，本应该更留意她那些未说出口的挣扎。)”和最后一段中“I now start by asking how they're doing, not just experimental details. This shift has led to more honest conversations. (我现在首先会问他们过得怎么样，而不仅仅是实验细节。这种转变带来了更诚实的对话。)”可知，作者通过反思改进了指导方式，体现出作者是一个负责任且善于反思的人。故选D。 7.（2026·江苏省南京市鼓楼区名校联盟英语试题） I started walking backward for no apparent reason. I was simply waving goodbye to my daughters when it hit me to take a few steps backward. Since I’d already started, I thought I could walk all the way home that way. After all, the contradiction of moving forward by going backward seemed engaging and worth exploring. The first problem was practical. Snow is a pain even for regular walking, so my pace slowed down considerably. At this different pace, life itself felt rushed in comparison. How silly it is that we’re always in such a hurry to get somewhere. For example, I often arrive at places long after my body gets there. Sometimes I reach my daughters’ school, but my mind is still at home, wondering whether I unplugged my wife’s hair dryer. Walking backward, however, forced me to adjust the pace of my body to my mind. The next thing had to do with vision. In regular walking, the path ahead is always visible. Here, you use other senses: you hear the car approaching, you sense the unevenness of the ground, and you notice the change in the firmness of the snow. You activate an entire set of skills we usually don't use because of our dependence on sight. This way, the familiar path I walked every day suddenly felt like a grand adventure, a discovery I hadn’t anticipated. Because of my addiction to foolish ideas, I decided to continue my backward walking for the rest of the day. And I quickly realized something obvious: the path I enjoyed most was the one I had already travelled. And it struck me that this was the right way to look at life: moving toward a destination without ever forgetting where you’ve been, or how far you’ve come. Looking back is always good for self-value. There’s no way to look at yesterday and not feel better: for the illness that didn’t kill you, or the happy childhood days that still make you smile. 25．What interested the author in the first paragraph? A．Finding a new route back home. B．Engaging himself in deep thinking. C．Moving forward in a different manner. D．Seeing his daughters off every morning. 26．What did the author realize on the way back home? A．We need to stay focused at work. B．We don’t need to live a rushed life. C．We should spend more time with family. D．We shouldn’t compare ourselves to others. 27．How did the author overcome the vision problem? A．He studied a set of new skills. B．He depended on his memory. C．He followed his sense of direction. D．He made full use of other senses. 28．What message does the author seem to deliver in the last paragraph? A．Childhood is the best part in life. B．It’s inspiring to reflect on the past. C．It’s important to find your self-value. D．One ought to learn to forgive himself. 25．C 26．B 27．D 28．B 【导语】本文是一篇叙议结合的文章。文章通过作者倒着走路的经历，探讨了放慢生活节奏、依赖其他感官以及回顾过去的重要性。 25．细节理解题。根据第一段的句子“I started walking backward for no apparent reason. I was simply waving goodbye to my daughters when it hit me to take a few steps backward. Since I’d already started, I thought I could walk all the way home that way. After all, the contradiction of moving forward by going backward seemed engaging and worth exploring.(我毫无缘由地开始倒着行走。当时正挥手向女儿们道别，突然心血来潮想后退几步。既然已经开了头，我索性决定就这么倒着走回家。毕竟，这种通过后退实现前进的矛盾感既引人入胜又值得玩味。)”可知，作者对以一种不同的方式前进感兴趣。故选C项。 26．推理判断题。根据第二段中的“At this different pace, life itself felt rushed in comparison. How silly it is that we’re always in such a hurry to get somewhere.(在这个不同的速度下，生活本身相比之下显得很匆忙。我们总是急于到达某个地方，这真是太傻了。)”可知，作者觉得人们总是急于到达某个地方太傻了，可得出作者意识到我们不需要过一种匆忙的生活。故选B项。 27．细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The next thing had to do with vision. In regular walking, the path ahead is always visible. Here, you use other senses: you hear the car approaching, you sense the unevenness of the ground, and you notice the change in the firmness of the snow.(下一件事与视觉有关。在正常的行走中，前方的道路总是可见的。在这里，你使用其他感官：你听到汽车靠近的声音，你感觉到地面的不平整，你注意到雪的硬度的变化。)”可知，作者通过充分利用其他感官来克服视觉问题。故选D项。 28．推理判断题。根据最后一段的句子“And I quickly realized something obvious: the path I enjoyed most was the one I had already travelled. And it struck me that this was the right way to look at life: moving toward a destination without ever forgetting where you’ve been, or how far you’ve come. Looking back is always good for self-value. There’s no way to look at yesterday and not feel better: for the illness that didn’t kill you, or the happy childhood days that still make you smile.(我很快意识到一些显而易见的事情：我最喜欢的道路是我已经走过的那条。我突然意识到，这是看待生活的正确方式：朝着一个目的地前进，而不要忘记你去过哪里，也不要忘记你走了多远。回顾总是有利于自我价值。当你回顾昨天的时候，你会感觉好多了：因为那场没有夺去你生命的疾病，或者那些仍然让你微笑的快乐童年。)”可知，作者认为回顾过去是很有启发性的。故选B项。 8.（2026届江苏省南京市六合区高三4月份质量监测） A 19-year-old runner with Down syndrome (唐氏综合症) has become the youngest person with a learning disability to complete a marathon.

Here in New York, thousands of miles from Ghana, he found numerous visual images of life in Africa, past and present, in the archives (档案室) of the city’s libraries, galleries and museums. This led to an idea: create a library of photobooks in Ghana to bring the African story home. Deeply influenced by his grandparents’ storytelling traditions, Ninson decided to pursue a career in photography. He left Ghana in 2019 to seek a formal education in photojournalism at the International Center of Photography (ICP) in New York City. There, he read the center’s hundreds of photobooks while in Ghana, he only had access to five or six of such books. As he ventured deeper into the city, he discovered more visual histories of Africa than he had experienced at home. This led to his idea to create a library in Africa that held such stories. With characteristic determination, Ninson began searching New York City for books to ship to Ghana. He searched secondhand stores, engaged in online bidding wars and reached out for publishers donations. He maxed out credit cards and filled his apartment with over 30,000 volumes. With help from a friend Brandon Stanton, a GoFundMe campaign raised $1.2 million, enabling shipment of the collection to Ghana. In December 2022, the local library Dikan Center opened near the Gulf of Guinea. It offers free public access to photobooks documenting Africa’s past and present. Beyond its collection, Dikan Center provides workshops, fellowships, and seminars on visual storytelling, empowering a new generation to reshape Africa’s narrative. Local artist Daniella Afful sees Dikan Center as transformative: “It has boosted art and photography, giving hope for preserving our history and making history.” 33. What inspired Ninson to build a photobook library? A. His interest in history books. B. His fancy of New York libraries. C. His ambition to make a fortune. D. His desire to bring Africa culture back home. 34. Why did Ninson go to New York in 2019? A. To raise money for a library building. B. To improve himself as a photographer. C. To seek his family roots and traditions. D. To collect books about African history. 35. What can we learn from paragraph 3? A. Ninson was involved in a war. B. Ninson used his own money to pay for books. C. Brandon Stanton donated some books to him. D. African government arranged to ship the books back. 36. What can be inferred about the library from Daniella Afful’s words? A. It provides more job opportunities. B. It has transformed people’s hobbies. C. It is helpful to preserve local history. D.

Two friends joined me on a four-day wilderness getaway, and since we were all in our seventies, we decided we’d better go while we still could. Our adventure began with a scary drive up a winding mountain road. On one hike, I found myself hanging onto a wire on a bridge made of two partly rotten (腐烂的) logs, suspended high above rushing rapids. I would never have attempted it without our guide ahead, mouthing encouraging words. Fixing my eyes on her boots, I inched along the shaky logs. Somehow, I made it across, flooded with a rush of intense excitement and huge relief. Later, after spotting bear tracks, we were told to make loud noises, which soon became a game once the tension faded. Until suddenly, time stood still. We had just crossed a stream when the guide whispered, “There’s a bear.” I looked up in disbelief and saw not one, but two, about ten meters above us— the brown mother in front, her cub behind. Though scared speechless, I couldn’t help noticing how beautiful they looked in their natural setting. I wondered if it would be my last memory. As they started towards us, we recovered enough to shout and wave our hiking poles. Taken aback, they stopped, and then slowly turned away. Another fear was overcome! On our final morning, after a quiet, thoughtful walk through the forest, we were asked to bring back a “meaningful” stick, rock, and leaf to share what would “stick” with us, what “rocked,” and what we would “leaf” behind. The bond of friendship would stick with me. Women supporting one another truly rocked. And I hoped to leave some fears behind. Our guide ended by expressing her admiration, praising not only our fitness but also our positive attitude, and saying she hoped to be like us in another thirty or forty years. Those unexpected words warmed my heart and eased my fear of being “over the hill.” Being valued for what we had accomplished felt like winning an Olympic medal — even if just for participation. 37. How did the author cross the bridge? A. By taking mindful steps. B. By rushing across it bravely. C. By using her sense of direction. D. By having the guide drag her over. 38. Why did the bears leave? A. They were attracted by the natural setting. B. They were afraid of the noise of the rapids. C. They were surprised at the group’s actions. D. They were threatened by the guide’s rocks. 39. Why did the guide ask them for a stick, rock, and leaf? A. To pick up some souvenirs. B. To reflect on the journey. C. To symbolize their teamwork. D. To check their observation skills. 40. What does the underlined phrase “over the hill” in the last paragraph mean? A. Past the peak of youth. B. Too high to go down. C. Out of place in society. D. Beyond physical limits. 【答案】37. A 38. C 39. B 40.

It is fascinating to see the potential if human intervention were not affecting ecosystem negatively.” Assaf is an architect and urban forester. After working as a full-time architect for more than ten years, Assaf left her job to look for something more meaningful. She was inspired by a video about a 2,000-year-old forest in Morocco. In the film, she saw a man-made forest in a dry country, with a high ceiling of foliage and walls of fruit trees. She decided that this was what she wanted to do in her native Jordan. Her research led her to the Miyawaki method, which creates highly biodiverse, multi-layered native forests ten times faster than nature itself does. Her approach goes beyond planting individual trees. It is about establishing a complex and dynamic plant “community”, reconnecting native species that co-evolved together for thousands of years. Jordan is one of the driest countries in the world, with 75 percent desert and little rainfall. Despite the challenge, Assaf believes it is crucial to act. “It is not drought that causes bare ground, it is bare ground that causes drought,” Assaf said. She claims that “the more we work on greening, the more we give nature the ability to restore itself.” Assaf started small. Her first site was only 107 square meters. She has gradually built a database for native forest creation in Jordan. So far, she has planted four forests with more than 2,700 native plant seedlings. She also collects seeds for others, including those of endangered species in Jordan. Assaf always emphasizes it is important to have people participate in growing forests. She often works in collaboration with schools, universities, cities, and companies. “I see it as a kind of citizen-led species recovery intervention, doing what we believe is right and being part of the solution,” Assaf explains. 41. What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 1 refer to? A. The old oak tree . B. The preservation of forests. C. The effects of human intervention. D. The co-existence between man and wildlife. 42. What did the video motivate Assaf to do? A. Rejuvenate local ecology. B. Quit her job as an architect. C. Facilitate landscape connectivity. D. Monitor biodiversity conservation. 43. What does Assaf highlight in paragraph 4? A. The importance of greening. B. The causes of desertification. C. The urgency to conserve nature. D. The difficulty in fighting drought. 44. What does Assaf think is crucial to her mission? A. Site selection. B. Database creation. C. Business expansion. D. Community engagement. 【答案】41. D 42. A 43. A 44. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了建筑师迪玛・阿萨夫辞去工作，借鉴宫胁造林法，在干旱的约旦开展本土森林营造，收集种子并带动民众参与，助力生态修复。 【41题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段“There were elephants, rhinos and the Asiatic lion, animals which used to live together with people here.(这里有大象、犀牛和亚洲狮，这些都是曾经与人类共同生活在这里的动物)”以及划线词所在句“Discovering that made me see the landscape from a different perspective.”可知，发现那件事让她从全新的角度去看待这片景色了。故划线词that指的是“人类与野生动物的共存关系”。故选D。 【42题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“She was inspired by a video about a 2,000-year-old forest in Morocco. In the film, she saw a man-made forest in a dry country, with a high ceiling of foliage and walls of fruit trees. She decided that this was what she wanted to do in her native Jordan.(她受到了一段有关摩洛哥一座拥有2000年历史的森林的视频的启发。在视频中，她看到了一个在干旱地区人工营造的森林，有着高高的树冠层和由果树构成的围墙。她决定，这就是她想在自己的祖国约旦所要做的事情)”可知，这段视频促使阿萨夫重振当地生态环境。故选A。 【43题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段“Jordan is one of the driest countries in the world, with 75 percent desert and little rainfall. Despite the challenge, Assaf believes it is crucial to act. “It is not drought that causes bare ground, it is bare ground that causes drought,” Assaf said. She claims that “the more we work on greening, the more we give nature the ability to restore itself.”(约旦是世界上最干旱的国家之一，75%的面积为沙漠，降雨量极少。尽管面临重重挑战，阿萨夫仍坚信采取行动至关重要。她表示：“并非干旱导致土地裸露，而是裸露的土地才引发了干旱。”她还声称：“我们越是致力于绿化工作，就越能赋予大自然恢复自身的能力。”)”可知，阿萨夫在第4段中强调了绿化的意义。故选A。 【44题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Assaf always emphasizes it is important to have people participate in growing forests.(阿萨夫总是强调，让民众参与到森林的营造过程中来是非常重要的)”可知，阿萨夫认为对她而言，完成使命的关键因素是社区参与。故选D。 12.（武汉市2026届高中毕业生三月调研考试） Seven children line up, awaiting their turn on a slide. As each child rushes down, the ones behind laugh and cheer. Such scene is rare in Lagos, one of Africa’s fastest-growing cities, with a population of about 17 million. But on the city’s outskirts, a garbage-site-turned-park is providing room for kids to play. The project is the brainchild of 17-year-old Amara Nwuneli, who wants to prove that even in Lagos’ most crowded corners, children can have fun. For Amara, the path to building parks began when a terrible flood struck her hometown in 2020. Heavy rains swallowed entire neighborhoods, leaving thousands of families homeless. “People just said it was government failure or bad luck.” Amara recalls. But, later, she realized it was what was called Nigeria’s “climate apathy”: the tendency to view floods, heat waves, and droughts as isolated (孤立的) incidents rather than consequences of a warming planet. “I wanted to change the mindset,” Amara says. “If people don’t feel connected to nature, they won’t fight to protect it. And I knew that had to start with creating spaces people could actually see and feel.” It was no easy task. Amara first approached the Lagos State Government, which offered land but imposed (施加) restrictions that made long-term construction impossible. After months of dead ends, she shifted strategy and started looking for alternative spaces that were accessible to high-risk communities. Eventually, Amara secured a garbage site. She then mobilized a team of artists, volunteers, and small donors to clear the trash and rebuild the site with recycled materials. Three months later, the park opened. Amara is now planning two more parks. She says communities from across the country have been reaching out to her team for advice on how to reclaim abandoned spaces for public use. “That creates a kind of cycle,” Amara reflects. “I take action, others notice, they want to take action, too. And together, it grows.” 45. What might be a problem Lagos is facing? A. Insufficient public areas. B. Poor garbage management. C. Limited recreational activities. D. Uncontrolled population growth. 46. What made Amara determined to build parks? A. Losses from natural disasters. B. People’s ignorance of climate change. C. Disappointment in government failure. D. Nigeria’s inadequacy in public education. 47. What quality does Amara demonstrate when completing the project? A. Integrity. B. Optimism. C. Flexibility. D. Confidence. 48. What does Amara want to convey in the last paragraph? A. Small steps make a big difference. B. Every cloud has a silver lining. C. All roads lead to Rome. D. It is never too late to act. 【答案】45.

After months of dead ends, she shifted strategy and started looking for alternative spaces that were accessible to high-risk communities. Eventually, Amara secured a garbage site. (阿玛拉首先向拉各斯州政府提出了申请，该政府提供了土地，但附加了一些限制条件，使得长期建设变得不可能。经过数月的无果努力后，她改变了策略，开始寻找那些对高风险社区来说易于到达的替代场地。最终，阿玛拉找到了一个垃圾处理场。)”可知，她在遇到困难时及时调整策略，体现出灵活变通的品质。故选C。 【48题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“'I take action, others notice, they want to take action, too.

Born in 1989, Su started his athletic journey with constant effort to pursue excellence, a trait that would push him to break down long-standing barriers. Prior to 2015, no Chinese male sprinter had ever gone below the 10-second mark in the 100m, a milestone widely regarded as the limit of world-class speed. That barrier broke at the 2015 Diamond League in Eugene, United States, when Su clocked an astonishing 9.99 seconds, becoming the first Chinese man to break through this psychological and physical limit. His rise to greatness continued uninterrupted. In 2018, at the World Challenge in Madrid, Su matched the existing Asian record of 9.91 seconds, a feat (功绩) that strengthened his position as a dominant force in international sprinting. Yet, it was at the 2021 Tokyo Olympics that Su achieved his most important milestone. In the men's 100m semifinal, he raced through the track in 9.83 seconds — breaking his previous Asian record and becoming the first Chinese male athlete to qualify for an Olympic 100m final. Though he finished sixth in the final, the significance of his achievement resonated far beyond the result: it proved that Asian sprinters could compete at the top levels of a sport long dominated by Western athletes. Additionally, Su and his teammates won the bronze medal in the 4 x 100m relay, marking China's first Olympic medal in a men's sprint relay event. After two decades in the sport, Su announced his retirement in December 2025. His legacy goes beyond records to perseverance — maintaining top form into his mid-30s, an age when most athletes decline, inspired countless young athletes. He transformed Asian sprinting's global standing, proving that with perseverance and scientific training, even the toughest barriers can be overcome. 49. What was the significance of Su's run at the 2015 Diamond League? A. It qualified him for his first Olympic final. B. It earned him a bronze medal in the relay event. C. It matched the existing Asian record at that time. D. It witnessed the first Chinese man breaking the barrier. 50. What can be inferred from Su's performance at the 2021 Tokyo Olympics? A. He won a gold medal in the men's 100m final. B. Asian sprinters can compete in the men's 100m final. C. He set a new world record in the men's 100m semifinal. D. Asian sprinters took part in the 100m semifinal for the first time. 51. What does the underlined word “resonated” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Paused. B. Mattered. C. Differed. D. Faded. 52. What is the main idea of the passage? A. The records and milestones Su set during his career. B. Su's retirement ceremony at the 15th National Games. C. The impact of Su Bingtian's career on Asian athletics. D. Su's journey from a young athlete to a global sprinting legend. 【答案】49. D 50. B 51. B 52.

You saved my life a decade ago by making a decision that only a mother as extraordinary as you could make. On 26 December 2014, both our lives changed forever.

Today, as a father of two growing children, I can truly understand the magnitude of your sacrifice. I can only imagine the storm of emotions you must have battled. Did you question if it was the right decision? Did you fear it was too much to bear? And yet, in the darkest hour of your life, you chose life for others. You chose hope. I know Karthick must be so proud of you, as am I, Mom. I am alive today because of your strength. Tearing apart the political divide, I have longed to meet you, Mom.

You might be wondering why I don’t even call you? Names of donors and recipients are kept confidential, and I feel helpless.

Sammie is 14. When she was in the third grade, she started the Buddy Bench program. That was at her school, in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Anyone who felt lonely could sit on the “buddy bench.” It showed others that someone needed a friend. The bench brought kids together. “There was one little boy at school, younger than me,” Sammie told TIME for Kids. “He would see me in the hallway and give me a thumbs-up. That told me that what I was doing helped him.” It costs money to build benches. Sammie decided to make them out of recycled materials. This lowered the cost. And the benches were eco-friendly. Sammie gathered friends in her community. They collected 1,200 pounds of bottle caps. A company called Green Tree Plastics made three benches with the bottle caps. Sammie has helped communities all over the country set up buddy benches. And she is spreading kindness around the world. “We recently got a bench in Ghana, Africa,” she says. “That was cool.” Sammie reminds us that kids can help their community. Even small acts of kindness can be powerful. “You don't have to be an adult to make a difference,” she says. Sammie wrote a book. It is called Inspire the World: A Kid's Journey to Making a Difference. It tells the story of her buddy benches.

They began their work with 3D printers to create parts for their robots, but they wanted their impact to be greater. “It started off with a team idea,” Tommy said. “We were trying to figure out how we could make a difference to society as a first-year robotics team. We later thought of the idea of using 3D printers to make prostheses (假肢), like hands.” The team worked with IMAHelps, a nonprofit organization, and received help from the Science Robotics Initiative. Shortly after, they began working with their first person in need of a prosthesis. “We started off with making an artificial (人造的) arm for Samantha, a 12-year-old little girl in Ecuador who lost her arm in a bus accident,” Tommy explains. “We got her measurements and then made the prosthesis. IMAHelps brought it to Samantha and it fit her perfectly and worked well.” “Samantha had a dream to write, and we wanted to help with that,” adds Daniel. It didn't take long for other kids to see Samantha's prosthesis. A young man named Ernest Priester, 13, asked to have an artificial foot. Later, the team offered to make him one for free. “He started tearing up. It brought so much joy to his eyes.” Tommy says. This July, the team traveled to Ecuador to deliver four more prostheses to those in need. “We were so happy to help,” Tommy shares. The team also plans on continuing to give away their 3D creations. “You can do whatever you want to do when it comes to helping people and changing the world,” Tommy says. “There are no age limits.” “By offering a little bit,” adds Daniel. “We can change a lot.” 13．To make the robotics team's impact greater, Tommy and Daniel decided to________.

Well, since last month. That's when we had the solar panels installed, linked to an app on my phone. Now, wherever I am, I can open the app and see how much electricity we are creating and how much we are consuming. Right now, we're exporting 2.37 kilowatts to the grid (电网). I enjoy the feeling. Yes, I'm saving the planet. More to the point: I'm making upwards of 10 cents an hour, DOING NOTHING. Certainly, you have to put in a bit of effort. Ever since I became an energy exporter, I have been patrolling (巡逻) the house, trying to maximize our production. Of course, I get some complaints from my wife, Jocasta, along the lines of “I was using that light to read a book” or “Why didn't you save my work before turning off my computer,” but I think she is grateful for my assistance. The only problem? Just last night, I turned off everything, but we were still consuming 0.05 of a kilowatt. I checked the fridge. It was not humming (哼鸣). All the overhead lights were out. Nothing was on standby. Yet there it was. I hardly slept, my mind trying to work through every corner of the house. Back at office, I find it hard to tear my eyes away from the app. Right now, it's midday. Jocasta is at home. I glance at the app. Oh no! Clouds overhead! Disaster! We're now producing nothing. Nothing at all. And consumption is suddenly through the roof. We're using up grid power. What's Jocasta up to? Running a factory? The next day, at work, around midday, I check the app just to calculate how much I've earned. What? Disaster! Clouds overhead again and yet power still being used. Jocasta is out of the house. Why, oh why, has Jocasta left the TV remote in reach of the dog? I must have a word with him. You see, sometimes it's hard to be ahead of your time. 17. What can we learn about the author from paragraph 1? A. He is a creative businessman. B. He takes pride in the solar gains. C. He enjoys launching campaigns. D. He has a gift for app development. 18. What does Jocasta complain about? A. The unknown waste of power. B. Her family's impatient attitude. C. The unstable supply of electricity. D. Her husband's unreasonable behavior. 19.

Sitting across from me, she looked exhausted — frustrated even. I heard myself say, “This is part of research. You just have to push through.” But even as the words left my mouth, I felt uneasy. She nodded silently and shifted her posture. Afterward, she began showing up less frequently and eventually stopped coming altogether. I tried to explain it away: undergraduates sometimes get busy with coursework, lose interest or change direction, but deep down, I wondered what I could have done differently. I became a mentor (导师) during my second year of Ph. D. but didn't get much guidance on how to do it. I learned only by doing. There were moments I felt proud of. One student started out quiet and unsure, but over time grew into a most independent and confident young researcher. Before graduating, she told me, “You are the reason I stuck with this.” That moment stayed with me. But so did the other one — the silence, the absences, the slow fade-out. Had I failed her? It wasn't until the final year of my Ph. D. that I came across a leaflet for a mentorship training workshop. Skeptical at first, I decided to try it. The program, called Entering Mentoring, brought together graduate students for weekly discussions. For the first time, I had the space to explore the invisible labor and emotional complexity of mentoring. One session asked us to reflect on our own practices. I began to realize what might have been missing in my relationship with the student who had drifted away. I had never invited her to share her goals or concerns. I could have been more attentive to her unspoken struggles. After the workshop, I began changing how I interacted with students. I now start by asking how they're doing, not just experimental details. This shift has led to more honest conversations. I've learned that good mentors are built through reflection and training. I wish I'd attended that workshop earlier, but I'm grateful I did at all. 21. What primarily caused the student's withdrawal according to paragraph 1? A. Demanding research challenges. B. Heavy academic workload. C. Repetitive failures in research. D. Unaddressed inner struggles. 22. Why did the author mention the change of another student? A. To highlight the contrast in mentoring outcomes. B. To illustrate his lack of proper guidance. C. To showcase his pride in her achievement. D. To explain his own research breakthrough. 23. What did the workshop mainly focus on? A. Developing academic research skills. B. Encouraging discussions among graduate students. C. Exploring the interpersonal aspects of mentoring. D. Demonstrating diverse personal mentoring approaches. 24. Which of the following can best describe the author? A. Strict and intelligent. B. Disciplined but inexperienced. C. Thoughtful but self-doubting. D. Responsible and reflective. 7.（2026·江苏省南京市鼓楼区名校联盟英语试题） I started walking backward for no apparent reason. I was simply waving goodbye to my daughters when it hit me to take a few steps backward. Since I'd already started, I thought I could walk all the way home that way. After all, the contradiction of moving forward by going backward seemed engaging and worth exploring. The first problem was practical. Snow is a pain even for regular walking, so my pace slowed down considerably. At this different pace, life itself felt rushed in comparison. How silly it is that we're always in such a hurry to get somewhere. For example, I often arrive at places long after my body gets there. Sometimes I reach my daughters' school, but my mind is still at home, wondering whether I unplugged my wife's hair dryer. Walking backward, however, forced me to adjust the pace of my body to my mind. The next thing had to do with vision. In regular walking, the path ahead is always visible. Here, you use other senses: you hear the car approaching, you sense the unevenness of the ground, and you notice the change in the firmness of the snow. You activate an entire set of skills we usually don't use because of our dependence on sight. This way, the familiar path I walked every day suddenly felt like a grand adventure, a discovery I hadn't anticipated. Because of my addiction to foolish ideas, I decided to continue my backward walking for the rest of the day. And I quickly realized something obvious: the path I enjoyed most was the one I had already travelled. And it struck me that this was the right way to look at life: moving toward a destination without ever forgetting where you've been, or how far you've come. Looking back is always good for self-value. There's no way to look at yesterday and not feel better: for the illness that didn't kill you, or the happy childhood days that still make you smile. 25．What interested the author in the first paragraph? A．Finding a new route back home. B．Engaging himself in deep thinking. C．Moving forward in a different manner. D．Seeing his daughters off every morning. 26．What did the author realize on the way back home? A．We need to stay focused at work. B．We don't need to live a rushed life. C．We should spend more time with family. D．We shouldn't compare ourselves to others. 27．How did the author overcome the vision problem? A．He studied a set of new skills. B．He depended on his memory. C．He followed his sense of direction. D．He made full use of other senses. 28．What message does the author seem to deliver in the last paragraph? A．Childhood is the best part in life. B．It's inspiring to reflect on the past. C．It's important to find your self-value. D．One ought to learn to forgive himself. 8.（2026届江苏省南京市六合区高三4月份质量监测） A 19-year-old runner with Down syndrome (唐氏综合症) has become the youngest person with a learning disability to complete a marathon. Lloyd Martin created history by finishing the 26.2-mile (42 km) course of the London Marathon guided by his mother Ceri Hooper, 54, on Sunday. After undergoing surgery on both of his knees in 2021, Martin began running 5 kilometers at a time. The Daily Mail reported that the teenager began training for the marathon in December, coached by his mother, an experienced marathoner. After Christmas, he began increasing his mileage and prepared for London.

With a bit of work, you can achieve it.” Martin ran the first 14 miles of the marathon without stopping, which was the farthest he had ever run, his mother said. He then walked the rest of the miles till the finish line as the crowd cheered for him. “It was tough, but we had a ball,” Ms. Hooper said, adding that her son's achievement was important for people with Down syndrome. “We did not say a lot when we crossed the finish line. We just both burst into tears,” she said. Prior to the marathon, Mr. Martin had run the farthest distance of 5 km in November last year.

Here in New York, thousands of miles from Ghana, he found numerous visual images of life in Africa, past and present, in the archives (档案室) of the city's libraries, galleries and museums. This led to an idea: create a library of photobooks in Ghana to bring the African story home. Deeply influenced by his grandparents' storytelling traditions, Ninson decided to pursue a career in photography. He left Ghana in 2019 to seek a formal education in photojournalism at the International Center of Photography (ICP) in New York City. There, he read the center's hundreds of photobooks while in Ghana, he only had access to five or six of such books. As he ventured deeper into the city, he discovered more visual histories of Africa than he had experienced at home. This led to his idea to create a library in Africa that held such stories. With characteristic determination, Ninson began searching New York City for books to ship to Ghana. He searched secondhand stores, engaged in online bidding wars and reached out for publishers donations. He maxed out credit cards and filled his apartment with over 30,000 volumes. With help from a friend Brandon Stanton, a GoFundMe campaign raised $1.2 million, enabling shipment of the collection to Ghana. In December 2022, the local library Dikan Center opened near the Gulf of Guinea. It offers free public access to photobooks documenting Africa's past and present. Beyond its collection, Dikan Center provides workshops, fellowships, and seminars on visual storytelling, empowering a new generation to reshape Africa's narrative. Local artist Daniella Afful sees Dikan Center as transformative: “It has boosted art and photography, giving hope for preserving our history and making history.” 33. What inspired Ninson to build a photobook library? A. His interest in history books. B. His fancy of New York libraries. C. His ambition to make a fortune. D. His desire to bring Africa culture back home. 34. Why did Ninson go to New York in 2019? A. To raise money for a library building. B. To improve himself as a photographer. C.

Two friends joined me on a four-day wilderness getaway, and since we were all in our seventies, we decided we'd better go while we still could. Our adventure began with a scary drive up a winding mountain road. On one hike, I found myself hanging onto a wire on a bridge made of two partly rotten (腐烂的) logs, suspended high above rushing rapids. I would never have attempted it without our guide ahead, mouthing encouraging words. Fixing my eyes on her boots, I inched along the shaky logs. Somehow, I made it across, flooded with a rush of intense excitement and huge relief. Later, after spotting bear tracks, we were told to make loud noises, which soon became a game once the tension faded. Until suddenly, time stood still. We had just crossed a stream when the guide whispered, “There's a bear.” I looked up in disbelief and saw not one, but two, about ten meters above us— the brown mother in front, her cub behind. Though scared speechless, I couldn't help noticing how beautiful they looked in their natural setting. I wondered if it would be my last memory. As they started towards us, we recovered enough to shout and wave our hiking poles. Taken aback, they stopped, and then slowly turned away. Another fear was overcome! On our final morning, after a quiet, thoughtful walk through the forest, we were asked to bring back a “meaningful” stick, rock, and leaf to share what would “stick” with us, what “rocked,” and what we would “leaf” behind. The bond of friendship would stick with me. Women supporting one another truly rocked. And I hoped to leave some fears behind. Our guide ended by expressing her admiration, praising not only our fitness but also our positive attitude, and saying she hoped to be like us in another thirty or forty years. Those unexpected words warmed my heart and eased my fear of being “over the hill.” Being valued for what we had accomplished felt like winning an Olympic medal — even if just for participation. 37. How did the author cross the bridge? A. By taking mindful steps. B. By rushing across it bravely. C. By using her sense of direction. D. By having the guide drag her over. 38. Why did the bears leave? A. They were attracted by the natural setting. B. They were afraid of the noise of the rapids. C. They were surprised at the group's actions. D.

It is fascinating to see the potential if human intervention were not affecting ecosystem negatively.” Assaf is an architect and urban forester. After working as a full-time architect for more than ten years, Assaf left her job to look for something more meaningful. She was inspired by a video about a 2,000-year-old forest in Morocco. In the film, she saw a man-made forest in a dry country, with a high ceiling of foliage and walls of fruit trees. She decided that this was what she wanted to do in her native Jordan. Her research led her to the Miyawaki method, which creates highly biodiverse, multi-layered native forests ten times faster than nature itself does. Her approach goes beyond planting individual trees. It is about establishing a complex and dynamic plant “community”, reconnecting native species that co-evolved together for thousands of years. Jordan is one of the driest countries in the world, with 75 percent desert and little rainfall. Despite the challenge, Assaf believes it is crucial to act. “It is not drought that causes bare ground, it is bare ground that causes drought,” Assaf said. She claims that “the more we work on greening, the more we give nature the ability to restore itself.” Assaf started small. Her first site was only 107 square meters. She has gradually built a database for native forest creation in Jordan. So far, she has planted four forests with more than 2,700 native plant seedlings. She also collects seeds for others, including those of endangered species in Jordan. Assaf always emphasizes it is important to have people participate in growing forests. She often works in collaboration with schools, universities, cities, and companies. “I see it as a kind of citizen-led species recovery intervention, doing what we believe is right and being part of the solution,” Assaf explains. 41. What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 1 refer to? A. The old oak tree . B. The preservation of forests. C. The effects of human intervention. D. The co-existence between man and wildlife. 42. What did the video motivate Assaf to do? A. Rejuvenate local ecology. B. Quit her job as an architect. C. Facilitate landscape connectivity. D. Monitor biodiversity conservation. 43. What does Assaf highlight in paragraph 4? A. The importance of greening. B. The causes of desertification. C. The urgency to conserve nature. D. The difficulty in fighting drought. 44. What does Assaf think is crucial to her mission? A. Site selection. B. Database creation. C. Business expansion. D. Community engagement. 12.（武汉市2026届高中毕业生三月调研考试） Seven children line up, awaiting their turn on a slide. As each child rushes down, the ones behind laugh and cheer. Such scene is rare in Lagos, one of Africa's fastest-growing cities, with a population of about 17 million. But on the city's outskirts, a garbage-site-turned-park is providing room for kids to play. The project is the brainchild of 17-year-old Amara Nwuneli, who wants to prove that even in Lagos' most crowded corners, children can have fun. For Amara, the path to building parks began when a terrible flood struck her hometown in 2020. Heavy rains swallowed entire neighborhoods, leaving thousands of families homeless. “People just said it was government failure or bad luck.” Amara recalls. But, later, she realized it was what was called Nigeria's “climate apathy”: the tendency to view floods, heat waves, and droughts as isolated (孤立的) incidents rather than consequences of a warming planet. “I wanted to change the mindset,” Amara says. “If people don't feel connected to nature, they won't fight to protect it. And I knew that had to start with creating spaces people could actually see and feel.” It was no easy task. Amara first approached the Lagos State Government, which offered land but imposed (施加) restrictions that made long-term construction impossible. After months of dead ends, she shifted strategy and started looking for alternative spaces that were accessible to high-risk communities. Eventually, Amara secured a garbage site. She then mobilized a team of artists, volunteers, and small donors to clear the trash and rebuild the site with recycled materials. Three months later, the park opened. Amara is now planning two more parks. She says communities from across the country have been reaching out to her team for advice on how to reclaim abandoned spaces for public use. “That creates a kind of cycle,” Amara reflects. “I take action, others notice, they want to take action, too. And together, it grows.” 45. What might be a problem Lagos is facing? A. Insufficient public areas. B. Poor garbage management. C. Limited recreational activities. D. Uncontrolled population growth. 46. What made Amara determined to build parks? A. Losses from natural disasters. B. People's ignorance of climate change. C. Disappointment in government failure. D. Nigeria's inadequacy in public education. 47. What quality does Amara demonstrate when completing the project? A. Integrity. B. Optimism. C. Flexibility. D. Confidence. 48. What does Amara want to convey in the last paragraph? A. Small steps make a big difference. B. Every cloud has a silver lining. C. All roads lead to Rome. D. It is never too late to act. 13.（哈尔滨师大附中 东北师大附中 辽宁省实验中学2026年高三第一次联合模拟考试） On a cool November 2025 evening, Su Bingtian held up his track shoes after the 15th National Games men's 4x100m relay, marking the end of a pioneering career that redefined Asian sprinting (短跑). Born in 1989, Su started his athletic journey with constant effort to pursue excellence, a trait that would push him to break down long-standing barriers. Prior to 2015, no Chinese male sprinter had ever gone below the 10-second mark in the 100m, a milestone widely regarded as the limit of world-class speed. That barrier broke at the 2015 Diamond League in Eugene, United States, when Su clocked an astonishing 9.99 seconds, becoming the first Chinese man to break through this psychological and physical limit. His rise to greatness continued uninterrupted. In 2018, at the World Challenge in Madrid, Su matched the existing Asian record of 9.91 seconds, a feat (功绩) that strengthened his position as a dominant force in international sprinting. Yet, it was at the 2021 Tokyo Olympics that Su achieved his most important milestone. In the men's 100m semifinal, he raced through the track in 9.83 seconds — breaking his previous Asian record and becoming the first Chinese male athlete to qualify for an Olympic 100m final. Though he finished sixth in the final, the significance of his achievement resonated far beyond the result: it proved that Asian sprinters could compete at the top levels of a sport long dominated by Western athletes. Additionally, Su and his teammates won the bronze medal in the 4 x 100m relay, marking China's first Olympic medal in a men's sprint relay event. After two decades in the sport, Su announced his retirement in December 2025. His legacy goes beyond records to perseverance — maintaining top form into his mid-30s, an age when most athletes decline, inspired countless young athletes. He transformed Asian sprinting's global standing, proving that with perseverance and scientific training, even the toughest barriers can be overcome. 49.
