新高考英语阅读理解记叙文专项突破 B1 Early one Friday morning in 2012, Paul Cheek walked into a room at the Algonquin Club of Boston and prepared himself. The sophomore (大二学生) surveyed the sea of older professionals ready to discuss entrepreneurship (创业). Cheek and the only other college-aged attendee, Rob Ianelli, struck up a conversation that became a friendship that became a business partnership. Their for-profit company, Oceanworks, is a global marketplace for recycled ocean plastics. Over three years, the company has rerouted thousands of tons of plastic intended for the ocean and traded it to hundreds of companies in 30-plus countries—which then, in turn, reuse the plastics in manufacturing. Cheek uses his experience in launching Oceanworks and other businesses to design some of his courses at Massachusetts Institute of Technology—where he teaches entrepreneurship and leads the Martin Trust Center for MIT Entrepreneurship. He sees more and more students hoping to start mission-driven companies. “They want to create something that is in line with their beliefs—something that will have a societal impact,” says Cheek. “Having something they care about a lot is so important, because the work is really, really hard.” One of the hard-won lessons Cheek passes on to students: The popular business saying “If you build it, they will come” is simply not true. “You have to go out and test the market,” says Cheek, who recalls, in the early days of Oceanworks, going all-in on research and marketing. The work proved to investors that companies would purchase plastic from the marketplace that he and Ianelli had developed. The sophomore, who has changed his focus from day-to-day operations at Oceanworks to full-time teaching, sees more students accepting entrepreneurship. One of his own programs, MIT Fuse, recently hosted its largest group of students, with 106 students working in 44 teams. “They want to, on day one, get into the details and start building the business,” he says, applauding their initiative but noting a possibility to “jump over some of the fundamentals.” 24.

Oceanworks serves for trading recycled plastics. 25. What else does Cheek do at MIT besides teaching? A. He heads the Martin Trust Center. B. He develops plastic recycling plans. C. He trains people to become investors. D. He manages the operation of Oceanworks. 26. What’s Cheek’s attitude to the business saying? A. Supportive. B. Critical. C. Neutral. D. Unconcerned. 27.

I grew up thinking as long as people didn't physically hurt each other, hurtful words were to be tolerated, but I changed my mind after reading Linda O'Connell's story, Two Little Words with a Big Impact. She discussed two words: "and" and "but", and explained how "but" can be one of the most destructive words. Then I realized I had been hurt by the word "but", and that I had wounded others, too, by using the word thoughtlessly. For example, when I was a teacher and edited my students' stories, I would always say their content was good, but then I would add comments such as" but you need to make your characters more realistic. "I could have said, "Your content is good and making your characters more believable will make it even better. In setting up guidelines for commenting on writers, I realize we need to praise each other, make helpful remarks, and then praise each other again, without using the word "but. "I remember a college professor who said, "There is no such thing as constructive criticism. Criticism is criticism. She has now passed on, but her words remain with me always. My fourth-grade teacher's quote was aimed at what she thought was harmless playground teasing, but even teasing hurts. Today, we can read sad news related to many stories where people have been terribly hurt by ugly words and suffered a lot. Now I realize the importance of thinking before speaking, even to avoid seemingly unimportant words like "but. "Sticks and stones break our bones, but thoughtless words also do harm. They can leave marks for a lifetime. 24. What changed the author's attitude to hurtful words? A. A teacher's advice. B. His personal experience. C. A college professor's words. D. A story by Linda O'Connell. 25. What message does the example in Paragraph 2 convey? A. The author used "but" too often. B. The author could tolerate criticism. C.

Optimistic and open-minded. D. Caring and self-reflective. 27. What is the text mainly about? A. The benefits of learning from mistakes. B. The long-lasting effect of hurtful words. C. The importance of using words thoughtfully. D. The difference between physical and emotional harm. B3 For many, Chinese characters seem like complex symbols. However, Lena, a 20-year-old American college student, views them in a unique way. To her, each character has its own story. She pictures“ren”(person) as a cat’s face, and “ceng” (once) as an angry robot. Lena gained popularity when she spent only 30 minutes drawing “ceng” and posted it on rednote (or Xiaohongshu). Amazingly, this simple drawing got 40,000 likes overnight. Now, her creative artworks raise discussions about language, art, and cultural exchange. Growing up in a diverse community with many Asians, Lena was surrounded by different languages and cultures. “As a child, I had Chinese friends. I was fascinated by seeing their names on lunch boxes. This language was so new to me, completely different from Western languages,” Lena remembered. This early curiosity remained with her and reappeared in college during a US-China relations course, which deepened her interest in modern Chinese culture. Deep in rednote, Lena noticed more characters that looked like various objects. She describes herself as imaginative and highly perceptive, often spotting details others miss. Besides drawing, Lena translates all her posts into Chinese to show respect to her followers. Her efforts have helped her make Chinese friends online, chatting about daily life and food. Some followers said Lena understands the beauty of Chinese characters better than many Chinese. “It’s because you’re used to them,” Lena replied, adding the opposite is also true. For example, she learned from Chinese friends that “orz” looks like a person bowing in apology, but it means nothing in English. “It’s something I never thought of. That’s the result of a non-native looking at unfamiliar characters,” she said. As Lena plans to share more character-inspired art on rednote, her story shows a truth: language is more than words; it’s about connection and understanding the world from others’ perspectives. 24. How did Lena become popular on rednote? A. By posting creative drawings of Chinese characters. B. By translating English articles into Chinese. C. By sharing her daily life in China. D. By having online chats with Chinese netizens. 25. What deepened Lena’s interest in modern Chinese culture? A. Her Chinese friends. B. Using rednote. C. A US-China relations course. D. Drawing Chinese characters. 26. Why did Lena mention the example“orz”? A. To show non-natives’ unique views. B. To prove followers’ over-praise. C. To explain learning difficulty. D. To analyze grammar differences. 27. What is the main idea of the passage? A. Lena gains popularity on campus. B. Creative characters bridge language and culture. C Diverse background increases Lena’s interest. D. Chinese characters: more than simple symbols. B4 Holding my newborn baby,I looked at the nurses rushing around me. Little Lou was born with a heart problem and had surgery when he was just 48 hours old. The medical staff took my breath away with how hard they worked. Learning the special bed my baby lay on cost $ 55,000,I decided to raise that sum for the hospital. By the time Lou turned six months old,he experienced another critical surgery - an 18-hour marathon where the medical team refused to give up. Their skill and perseverance saved him. Though I could never fully express my thanks, I remained determined:I would find a way to raise those funds. During COVID-19,I took an online painting class. I'd always been creative and had worked as a visual designer. While I painted, all my worries disappeared. A mushroom I painted came out better than expected, so I kept at it. I wondered if I could start selling my art, so I entered a national competition and was astonished to be a finalist. That competition opened many doors. Soon,I was being contacted by galleries to do solo exhibitions. In my spare time, I'd post my latest work on my newsletter and a buyer would quickly purchase it. I could barely keep up with demand. Every time I sold a painting, I donated money to the Children's Hospital. Then one day,I was contacted by a woman called Emily, an aerospace engineer who was going to be the 100th woman to go to space. She floated the idea of taking one of my artworks into space.I created a painting for [her.It](her.It)'s about a child in a space suit being lifted by balloons to show Emily's childhood dream of going to space. The balloons are slightly deflated (泄气的) to show how hard it was but that she never gave up. On November 22,2024, Emily took my painting to space and helped me raise $$21,000. I haven't reached m$$ 55,000 mark yet but hope to do so soon. Lou,six, will need another heart operation eventually, but he's currently thriving.

I wanted to help give a voice to those who could no longer speak. I would need a medical degree, so I registered as a biology major. Research wasn’t on my agenda, partly because such opportunities in Puerto Rico were limited. The following year, Hurricane Maria hit. It leveled our communities, causing thousands of deaths and billions of dollars in damage. Two weeks after the hurricane, I, together with 29 other students, was offered a chance to temporarily continue our studies at Brown University while our school recovered. On the flight north, which was booked by Brown, everything felt unreal — leather seats, fresh fruit, and, after landing, a reception in a splendid hall. I felt conflicted. Here I was, feeling joy and wonder at a new experience, while everyone back home struggled. Brown set us up with classes, books, dorm rooms, and funds to purchase winter clothes. It was in an introductory biology course that my path began to shift. I was fascinated by the professor’s lecture and reached out after class. Surprisingly, he immediately offered me a research position in his lab to work on a project modeling how climate change could influence the distributions of plants. The research opened my eyes to the important work scientists were doing. I began to see a path in science beyond medicine and think a Ph.D. was what I wanted. Yet, despite the excitement, I felt doubtful, anxious, and guilty. I struggled to reconcile (调和) my new opportunities with the destruction back home. I also worried about leaving behind my dream of medicine to pursue a path that I was excited about but that might not lead to a job in Puerto Rico. After I shared with my mentor (导师) my conflicted feelings on the future, he replied: “There’s nothing better than doing what excites you.” The words felt like permission to follow my passion. Now I am in the fourth year of my Ph.D. It is the hurricane that blew me off my planned course and set me on an unexpected path. 24. What initially motivated the author to major in biology? A. A deep interest in science. B. A professor’s encouragement. C. The desire for a medical degree. D. The lack of job opportunities. 25. Why did the author feel conflicted arriving at Brown? A.

His personal joy contrasted with his community’s hardship. 26. What did the author realize through his work in the lab? A. The promise of medicine. B. The importance of research. C. The severity of climate issues. D. The danger of scientific work. 27. What can be learned from the author’s experience? A. Sticking to one’s original life plan is the key to success. B. Natural disasters are the primary drivers for life changes. C. Leaving one’s homeland is necessary for academic excellence. D. Unexpected challenges can create opportunities for redirection. B6 Most have probably heard of Henry David Thoreau and his book Walden, even though his message of simplicity may sound outdated. Nowadays, smartphones flood us with text messages. Many consumers are buying the latest digital devices, from tablets and fitness trackers to commercial drones. Simple living seems to be a thing of the past. Thoreau would beg to differ. As a writer who advocated the value of simplicity almost two centuries ago, he was a contrarian (叛逆者) for his time. He lived during the height of the Industrial Age, distinguished by the rise of large factories, expanding urban developments, and powerful machines. Turned off by the constant busyness of this time, Thoreau withdrew from city life to live alone in the woods. He brought with him only the necessities of life and wrote about this adventure in his book Walden. In the book, Thoreau is basically making a philosophical statement. We are not living meaningful lives due to modern technology. We created powerful machines to make life more convenient. Unfortunately, these machines have done the opposite. In his words, “men have become the tools of their tools”. That is to say, we are not the ones controlling technology. Technology is controlling us. Every few minutes, smartphones may distract us with messages. At least half of Americans check their phones several times an hour. Meanwhile, information overload from social media can weaken our concentration and heighten confusion. When technology causes that much distraction and confusion, it may be healthy to simplify life by reducing technology overuse. Personally, I’ve done so in two ways. First, I use very little data on my phone and keep the apps on it to a minimum. Most time, I only use my phone to call or text. Second, I quit most social media. Sure, those two things aren’t as extreme as Thoreau withdrawing into the woods. Nevertheless, they’re realistic moves I can make toward living a more meaningful life. 24. Which statement would Thoreau probably agree with? A. Technology holds back our ambition. B. Technology is key to a meaningful life. C. Simplicity is outdated in modern times. D. Simplicity is possible in a tech-driven world. 25. Why did Thoreau move to live in the woods by Walden Pond? A. To escape from his family responsibilities. B. To conduct scientific research on nature. C. To avoid the busy and materialistic industrial culture. D. To write a best-selling memoir about simple living. 26. Why are smartphones and social media mentioned in Paragraph 4? A. To discuss the effect of modernization. B. To illustrate men’s heavy reliance on tools. C. To highlight the extensive use of technology. D. To show the convenience of technological tools. 27. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To argue that Thoreau’s ideas of simple living are still relevant today. B. To introduce Thoreau’s masterpiece Walden to readers. C. To criticize the negative impact of the industrial age on society. D. To share the author’s personal experience of simple living. 答案 篇1： D A B A 篇2：D C D C 篇3：A C A B 篇4：A D B D 篇5：C D B D 篇6：D C B A 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
