2026届各地最新高考模拟卷 阅读理解之记叙文汇编 (1) (2026届湖南师范大学附属中学高三下学期英语) Troubled by scoliosis (脊柱侧弯) since the age of four — a condition that causes the spine (脊柱) to curve abnormally and affects roughly 100, 000 children in America each year — Anne had to wear a rigid plastic brace (支架) 19 to 22 hours a day to prevent the curve from progressing as she grew. Most of her classmates were kind. Still, Anne often felt set apart. In quiet moments, a sense of loneliness would wash over her — she was tired of feeling different from everyone else. That year, the Easter Bunny brought her a basket with a special doll. The doll, Chelsea, is Barbie’s sister, and she, too, wore a back brace for scoliosis. “She’s just like me!” Anne cried to her mother, Nicole, who smiled as the little girl examined every detail, right down to the doll’s curved spine. Anne played with Chelsea every day, bringing the doll everywhere. She felt a sisterhood with another girl like her. Weeks later, Anne voiced a heartfelt wish: “Mom, I wish all girls with scoliosis could have this doll so they don’t ever feel alone either.” Nicole saw renewed determination in her daughter’s eyes and helped turn the idea into a family mission. Anne’s twin brother and her dad both jumped in to help. They launched their efforts by starting a lemonade stand during a neighborhood sale, and then created a GoFundMe page on the Internet. After a local news station featured their story, the doll’s maker stepped in to support the cause, supplying all the dolls they needed. What began as a goal to donate 50 dolls quickly grew beyond expectation. Now 11 years old, Anne and her family have donated more than 870 Chelsea dolls to hospitals nationwide, bringing smiles to countless children. “Even if you feel alone, you’re not,” she shared. “Everybody has something. It’s what you do with it that matters — so choose to help others to be strong in their journey.” 1. What troubled Anne with scoliosis? A. Her classmates didn’t talk to her. B. She felt like an outsider. C. She couldn’t attend school like others. D. Her curving spine made her tired. 2. Why did Anne love the Chelsea doll so much? A. It was rare and delicate. B. It looked like her lovely sister. C. It mirrored her situation. D. It was a gift given by her sister. 3. How did Anne’s family first raise money? A. By selling lemonade online. B. By running a drink stand. C. By applying for a web page. D. By organizing a neighborhood sale. 4. What message did Anne want to convey through the dolls? A. Fortune favors the brave. B. Charity begins at home. C. Be the light you want to see. D. Stay positive when facing difficulty. 【答案】1. B 2. C 3. B 4. C 【难度】0.85 【导语】这是一篇记叙文，文章讲述了身患脊柱侧弯的小女孩Anne发起公益行动的暖心故事。 1. 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Still, Anne often felt set apart. In quiet moments, a sense of loneliness would wash over her — she was tired of feeling different from everyone else. (然而，Anne常常感到自己与众不同。在安静的时刻，一种孤独感会笼罩着她——她厌倦了与其他所有人不同的感觉。)”可知，患有脊柱侧弯的Anne常觉得自己和别人不同，有疏离感，也就是她觉得自己是局外人，故选B。 2. 细节理解题。根据第三段中“The doll, Chelsea, is Barbie’s sister, and she, too, wore a back brace for scoliosis. “She’s just like me!” Anne cried to her mother (这个玩偶叫Chelsea，是Barbie的妹妹，她也因为脊柱侧弯而佩戴着背支架。Anne对她的母亲说道：“她就像我一样！”)”和“She felt a sisterhood with another girl like her.(她觉得自己和另一个像她一样的女孩有着姐妹般的亲密关系)”可知，这个娃娃也因为脊柱侧弯戴背支架，和Anne的情况一模一样，Anne说“她和我一样”，也就是娃娃映射了Anne自身的处境，故选C。 3. 细节理解题。根据第四段中“They launched their efforts by starting a lemonade stand during a neighborhood sale, and then created a GoFundMe page on the Internet. (他们首先在社区促销活动中设立了一个柠檬水摊，然后在互联网上创建了一个“众筹”页面。)”可知，他们的筹钱行动从在社区促销活动摆柠檬水摊开始，故选B。 4. 推理判断题。根据文章内容以及最后一段““Even if you feel alone, you’re not,” she shared. “Everybody has something. It’s what you do with it that matters — so choose to help others to be strong in their journey.” (即使你感到孤独，你也不是真的孤独，”她说道，“每个人都有自己的东西。重要的是你如何利用它——所以选择去帮助他人，让他们在人生旅途中更加坚强。”)”可知，Anne自己受过孤独，得到娃娃的慰藉后，选择主动帮助其他有同样遭遇的孩子，给她们带去安慰，最后她也说“重要的是你怎么应对它，选择帮助他人在人生路上变得坚强”，符合C项“成为你想要看见的光”的内涵——你想要得到温暖，就自己成为温暖他人的光，故选C。 (2) (2025-2026学年湖北孝感高中高三下学期2月英语) When Leah Lizarondo grew up in the Philippines, all-parts cooking was really popular. “It was trendy to serve all the parts of the food material,” she remembers. After moving to the US, Lizarondo struggled with the amount of food she saw going to waste. “The way fish is sold here mostly is fillets (去骨鱼片),” she says. “What happens to the rest of that fish?” Concerned by the amount of food waste that grocery stores and restaurants were throwing away every day in the US, Lizarondo decided to launch Food Rescue Hero, a food recovery platform that redirects unused food by getting volunteers to use an app to collect it; they then deliver the food to organizations and individuals who are experiencing food insecurity. Lizarondo explains that the technology behind the platform is not innovative; she compares it to the tech behind delivery services like Uber Eats and DoorDash. However, Lizarondo says getting people to give up their time to make deliveries is where they differ. While an Uber driver might wrestle with whether their earnings on a delivery may be worth their time, Food Rescue Hero drivers almost always show up to deliver. The reason is simple: “If I am picking up food and I know that someone is specifically relying on this today, saying no becomes a harder decision to make,” she explains. The inner motivation among her volunteers has enabled her organization to grow to thousands of drivers. Lizarondo says 100, 000 deliveries have now been completed in Pittsburgh, where Food Rescue Hero was started. Across all the cities where they operate, they have rescued nearly 50 million pounds of food that would have otherwise gone to waste. Lizarondo’s network has now grown to twelve cities, and she has dreams of expanding further. However, it’s not easy to get funding. “I’m trying to convince donors that this model will provide that groundbreaking innovation that everyone’s looking for,” she says. 1. Which best describes all-parts cooking? A. It minimizes waste. B. It focuses on fish dishes. C. It promotes healthy diets. D. It originated in the Philippines. 2. What is the main purpose of Food Rescue Hero? A. To sell leftover food at lower prices. B. To ensure the food security of restaurants. C. To develop new tools to track food waste. D. To distribute unwanted food to those in need. 3. What can we learn about Food Rescue Hero drivers? A. They rely on highly innovative technology. B. They have built up an excellent reputation. C. They feel a strong sense of responsibility. D. They are offered good wages by Lizarondo. 4. What challenge does Lizarondo face while expanding her network? A. Finding committed volunteers. B. Securing enough financial support. C. Convincing groceries to donate food. D. Dealing with technical issues on the app. 【答案】1. A 2. D 3. C 4. B 【难度】0.85 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。本文主要讲述了Leah Lizarondo目睹美国严重的食物浪费现象，受到菲律宾“全食材烹饪”饮食文化的启发创立食物回收平台“Food Rescue Hero”，通过志愿者将可能被浪费的食物重新分配给有需要的人，并探讨了该平台成功的关键（志愿者的责任感）及其扩张中面临的资金挑战。 1. 推理判断题。根据第一段“When Leah Lizarondo grew up in the Philippines, all-parts cooking was really popular. “It was trendy to serve all the parts of the food material,” she remembers. After moving to the US, Lizarondo struggled with the amount of food she saw going to waste. “The way fish is sold here mostly is fillets(去骨鱼片),” she says. “What happens to the rest of that fish?”(当Leah Lizarondo在菲律宾长大时，全食材烹饪非常受欢迎。她回忆道：“当时很流行把食材的各个部位都做成菜肴。”搬到美国后，搬到美国后，Lizarondo对眼前大量被浪费的食物感到难以接受。“这里卖的鱼大多只是去骨鱼片，” 她说，“那鱼剩下的部分都去哪了？”)”可知，Lizarondo在菲律宾长大时，“全食材烹饪”很流行，意味着使用食材的所有部分。紧接着她移居美国后，对食物浪费现象感到困扰。由此可推知，“全食材烹饪”是指食材的所有部分都会被利用烹饪，最大限度地减少浪费。故选A。 2. 细节理解题。根据第二段“Concerned by the amount of food waste that grocery stores and restaurants were throwing away every day in the US, Lizarondo decided to launch Food Rescue Hero, a food recovery platform that redirects unused food by getting volunteers to use an app to collect it; they then deliver the food to organizations and individuals who are experiencing food insecurity.(由于对美国各地杂货店和餐馆每天产生的大量食物浪费现象感到担忧，Lizarondo决定推出“食物救援英雄”（food Rescue Hero）这一食物回收平台，该平台通过让志愿者使用一款应用收集未被使用的食物，再将这些食物转送给面临食品短缺问题的机构和个人。)”可知，Food Rescue Hero平台通过志愿者将未使用的食物收集起来，送给面临食物短缺的人，即其主要目的是将多余食物分发给需要的人。故选D。 3. 推理判断题。根据第三段中“However, Lizarondo says getting people to give up their time to make deliveries is where they differ. While an Uber driver might wrestle with whether their earnings on a delivery may be worth their time, Food Rescue Hero drivers almost always show up to deliver. The reason is simple: “If I am picking up food and I know that someone is specifically relying on this today, saying no becomes a harder decision to make,” she explains. (然而，Lizarondo表示，让人们自愿献出时间来配送，才是两者的不同之处。优步司机可能会纠结一趟配送的收入是否值得花时间，而“食物救援英雄”的志愿者几乎每次都会准时出现。原因很简单：“如果我去取食物，并且知道今天有人正专门等着这份食物，拒绝就会变成一个更难做出的决定，”她解释道。)”以及倒数第二段中“The inner motivation among her volunteers has enabled her organization to grow to thousands of drivers. (志愿者们的内在动力让她的组织发展到数千名配送人员.)”可知，此平台司机们与Uber司机的区别在于动力不同，Food Rescue Hero的司机是义务花时间配送，知道有人正依赖这些食物，因此很难拒绝配送，这体现了他们强烈的责任感。故选C。 4. 细节理解题。根据最后一段“However, it’s not easy to get funding.(然而，筹集资金并不容易。)”和““I’m trying to convince donors that this model will provide that groundbreaking innovation that everyone’s looking for,” she says.(“我正努力说服捐赠者，这种模式能带来大家都在寻找的突破性创新。” 她说。)”可知，Lizarondo扩大她的网络时面临的主要挑战是获得资金支持。故选B。 (3) (2026届湖南长沙市长郡中学高三下学期3月模拟预测英语) Dr. Punam Krishan is a general practitioner — a GP — one of the doctors who stand on the front line of medicine. GPs treat everyday illnesses, listen carefully to patients’ concerns, and decide when special medical care is needed. Beyond her work in clinics, Dr. Krishan is also a familiar face on television and the author of several books, including How to Be a Doctor and Other Life-Saving Jobs, You and Your Body, and her latest release, The Superhero’s First Aid Manual. Her journey into medicine began with caring for others. “It started off with me wanting to help people understand themselves better,” she once explained. She often noticed when someone looked unwell and felt driven to ask why. That quiet curiosity led her deeper into science, even when it was challenging, and eventually toward a life dedicated to healing others. To Dr. Krishan, being a GP is “one of the most incredible jobs in the world”. Every day, she meets people from different backgrounds and at different stages of life. With only ten minutes per patient, she must listen closely, read between the lines, and uncover the truth behind their symptoms, “It makes me feel a bit like a detective,” she said. Patients may arrive with one problem or many, and finding the right answer brings a sense of excitement that never fades. She describes her role as being “a bit of a best friend to people”. Her newest book was shaped by a deeply personal loss. When she was a child, her grandfather died, and for years she worried she had missed signs that he was unwell. That experience stayed with her and formed a powerful belief: recognizing illness can be a life-saving skill, even for children. Through her book, she teaches young readers to recognize emergencies such as allergic reactions or heart attacks, and to take simple but vital steps — staying calm, calling 999, or placing someone in the recovery position. For Dr. Krishan, heroism begins with care, courage, and knowledge. “Children should know the basics of how to be a superhero in that moment,” she added. 1. What can we learn about Dr. Krishan from the first paragraph? A. She takes on multiple roles. B. She excels in detailed work. C. She takes pleasure in reading. D. She aims for public recognition. 2. Why did Dr. Krishan dive into science? A. To tackle the scientific challenges. B. To make up for her childhood regret. C. To observe the lives of patients better. D. To find explanations for what she observed. 3. How does Dr. Krishan find her work as a GP? A. Fast-paced but fulfilling. B. Stressful but stable. C. Challenging but well-paid. D. Exhausting but promising. 4. What does Dr. Krishan’s experience indicate according to the last paragraph? A. Better late than never. B. Fix the roof before it rains. C. Time and tide wait for no man. D. Opportunity favors the prepared mind. 【答案】1. A 2. D 3. A 4. B 【难度】0.72 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了全科医生普纳姆·克里尚博士的职业生涯、个人信念以及她通过新书传递急救知识的使命。 1. 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Beyond her work in clinics, Dr. Krishan is also a familiar face on television and the author of several books, (除了在诊所工作外，克里尚博士也是电视上的熟面孔，她还写了几本书)”可知，克里尚博士不仅是一名全科医生，还在电视上露面，并且是几本书的作者，由此可知，她扮演着多个角色。故选A。 2. 细节理解题。根据第二段中“She often noticed when someone looked unwell and felt driven to ask why. That quiet curiosity led her deeper into science, (她经常注意到有人看起来不舒服，就会忍不住问为什么。这种安静的好奇心驱使她更深入地研究科学)”可知，克里尚博士对观察到的事物感到好奇，想要找到解释，因此她深入研究了科学。故选D。 3. 推理判断题。根据第三段中“With only ten minutes per patient, she must listen closely, read between the lines, and uncover the truth behind their symptoms, (每位病人只有十分钟的时间，她必须仔细倾听，从字里行间理解，并揭示他们症状背后的真相)”以及“Patients may arrive with one problem or many, and finding the right answer brings a sense of excitement that never fades. (病人可能带着一个问题或多个问题来，找到正确的答案会带来一种永远不会消退的兴奋感)”可知，克里尚博士的工作节奏很快，但她觉得很有成就感。故选A。 4. 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“When she was a child, her grandfather died, and for years she worried she had missed signs that he was unwell. That experience stayed with her and formed a powerful belief: recognizing illness can be a life-saving skill, even for children.(当她还是个孩子的时候，她的祖父去世了，多年来她一直担心自己错过了祖父身体不适的迹象。这段经历一直伴随着她，并形成了一个坚定的信念：识别疾病可以成为一种拯救生命的技能，即使对儿童来说也是如此)”可知，克里尚博士小时候的经历让她意识到识别疾病的重要性，因此她通过写书来教育年轻读者识别紧急情况并采取简单的急救措施，这体现了“未雨绸缪”的理念。故选B。 (4) (2026届湖南长沙市第一中学高三英语第八次月考英语) When my mother passed away a few years ago, my father was left alone in the large house they had shared for 50 years. Without her to watch out for him, he was worried about who would find him and help if “something happened”. My sister and I live in other states, so we hit on the idea that Dad could email us every morning when he awoke. Then “the Morning Report” was born. He’s usually up by the crack of dawn, and his half a dozen or so sentences are waiting for me in my inbox when I wake up. If there’s no email, I call him, or my sister does, to make sure everything is fine. The reports have become more than an everyday check though; they’re a sort of diary, a catalyst (催化剂) for more extended conversations, and source of insight into his life. Through these emails, Dad tells us about his routines. He might be heading to the grocery store for bananas, going to his cardiac-rehab (心脏康复) exercise class, or having lunch with friends. Recently he told us, “I’ve climbed halfway up Mount Washington!” Given his age and distance from New Hampshire, such a hike had been unlikely. Each email closes with “All my love, Dad.” When my mother was alive, that feeling was normally reserved for her. Now that she is gone, he shares those feelings and his experiences with us. For me, what started as a simple security measure has spawned deeper closeness. I’m grateful my father is still able to manage his computer and the Internet. I know the day will come when he’ll no longer be able to write the reports, and we’ll have to find other ways to keep track of one another. But until then, they are our way of knowing that another normal day has begun. 1. What was the original purpose of “the Morning Report”? A. To ensure the father’s safety. B. To track the father’s daily routines. C. To keep the father from feeling lonely. D. To help the father manage his large house. 2. What can be inferred about the father’s current life? A. He leads a lonely life. B. He stays active and engaged. C. He misses his wife very much. D. He is learning to use a computer. 3. Which is closest in meaning to the underlined word “spawned” in paragraph 5? A. Hidden. B. Weakened. C. Shadowed. D. Created. 4. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. A Daily Email Check B. A Father’s Daily Life C. Love Across the Miles D. Connection via Technology 【答案】1. A 2. B 3. D 4. C 【难度】0.65 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。讲述了母亲离世后，子女让父亲每日发邮件报平安，这一方式不仅保障父亲安全，更拉近彼此距离，传递着远方的亲情。 1. 细节理解题。根据第一段“When my mother passed away a few years ago, my father was left alone in the large house they had shared for 50 years. Without her to watch out for him, he was worried about who would find him and help if “something happened”.(几年前，我的母亲去世了，而我父亲独自一人留在他们共同居住了50年的大房子里。没有母亲在身边照顾他，他很担心如果“出了什么事”，谁会来找到他并提供帮助呢)”以及第二段“My sister and I live in other states, so we hit on the idea that Dad could email us every morning when he awoke. Then “the Morning Report” was born.(我的姐姐和我分别住在不同的州，于是我们想到了一个主意：爸爸每天早上醒来后可以给我们发电子邮件。就这样，“早间报告”便诞生了)”可知，“早间报告”最初的目的是确保父亲的安全。故选A。 2. 推理判断题。根据第四段“Through these emails, Dad tells us about his routines. He might be heading to the grocery store for bananas, going to his cardiac-rehab (心脏康复) exercise class, or having lunch with friends. Recently he told us, “I’ve climbed halfway up Mount Washington!” Given his age and distance from New Hampshire, such a hike had been unlikely.(通过这些电子邮件，爸爸向我们讲述了他的日常活动安排。他可能会去杂货店买香蕉，去参加心脏康复训练课程，或者和朋友共进午餐。最近他告诉我们：“我爬到了华盛顿山的半山腰了！”考虑到他的年龄以及与新罕布什尔州的距离，这样的徒步旅行几乎是不可能的)”可知，他始终保持活跃且积极投入。故选B。 3. 词句猜测题。根据倒数第二段“Each email closes with “All my love, Dad.” When my mother was alive, that feeling was normally reserved for her. Now that she is gone, he shares those feelings and his experiences with us. For me, what started as a simple security measure has spawned deeper closeness.(每封邮件的结尾都会写着“我所有的爱，爸爸”。在我母亲在世时，这种情感通常只属于她。如今她已离世，他将这些情感以及他的经历与我们分享。对我而言，最初只是个简单的安全保障方式，却spawned了我们之间更深的亲密)”可知，原本只是安全措施，后来产生、造就了更深的亲密感。故划线词“spawned”意思是“产生，创造”，与“Created”意思相近。故选D。 4. 主旨大意题。根据第二段“My sister and I live in other states, so we hit on the idea that Dad could email us every morning when he awoke. Then “the Morning Report” was born.(我的姐姐和我分别住在不同的州，于是我们想到了一个主意：爸爸每天早上醒来后可以给我们发电子邮件。就这样，“早间报告”便诞生了)”结合全文内容可知，文章讲述子女与远在他乡的父亲通过每日邮件保持联系，不仅保障安全，更传递亲情与爱，体现了跨越距离的爱。C选项“千里之爱”准确概括了文章主题，是文章的最佳标题。故选C。 (5) (2026届湖南师范大学附中高三英语模拟试卷英语) One June day in Avonlea, Prince Edward Island, Matthew Cuthbert and his sister, Marilla Cuthbert, lived on Green Gables farm. They wanted to adopt an orphan boy at the train station, but Matthew found no boy waiting — only a thin, red-haired girl named Anne. Not knowing what else to do, he brought her home. Having heard about Anne’s lonely childhood, they thought that Anne might not be the “useful” boy they’d wanted to work on the farm, but she needed their sympathy. Anne was overjoyed to be allowed to stay, and she always stayed positive whatever happened. Anne began to learn the household duties. However, even though Marilla often scolded Anne for daydreaming and ignoring her chores, Anne never complained and kept a positive heart. Later both Marilla and Matthew found Anne’s imaginative talk interesting, and soon they couldn’t imagine the farm without her. In the fall, Anne started off well at Avonlea school, but then she was teased by Gilbert Blythe, a handsome boy in her grade, for her red hair. Anne hit Gilbert on the head, and she was punished by her teacher and refused to attend school for a while. After Anne returned to school, she took a renewed interest in her studies and engaged in a growing academic competition with Gilbert. Besides, Anne formed a story club to help her friends improve their imaginations. When she was 16, Anne studied for the entrance exam to Queen’s Academy. Anne worked hard, and saw her hardships not as burdens but as fuel for the future. The following September, Matthew and Marilla said goodbye when Anne settled into Queen’s for the year. Anne, during her studies there, earned a teaching certificate and won a scholarship. But just as Anne’s future seemed to stretch out before her, tragedy struck. On Anne’s second morning at home, Matthew suddenly died of a heart attack. Soon, Marilla saw a specialist and learnt that unless she took measures to preserve her eyesight, she would be blind within six months. The quiet farm, once sustained by the two siblings, now rests on the weak shoulders of a lonely woman, with no one else to rely on. Anne stands silently in the dim farmyard, watching Marilla’s lonely figure with a heavy heart. The scholarship letter from Queen’s lies untouched on her desk… 1. What made Matthew and Marilla decide to adopt Anne? A. Anne’s appealing talk. B. Anne’s pitiful childhood. C. Anne’s willingness to the farm. D. Anne’s similarity to the boy. 2. What do we know about Anne from paragraphs 2 and 3? A. She fell behind Gilbert. B. She teased Gilbert’s look. C. She neglected housework often. D. She escaped her teacher’s punishment. 3. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. Marilla would go blind in six months. B. Marilla would leave the farm for good. C. Anne might prioritize family over study. D. Gilbert would offer to manage the farm. 4. Which saying can best show the main idea of the text? A. Blood is thicker than water. B. Opportunity knocks but once. C. Every cloud has a silver lining. D. When life gives you lemons, make lemonade. 【答案】1. B 2. C 3. C 4. D 【难度】0.7 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。本文节选自《绿山墙的安妮》，主要讲述了Anne在Green Gables农场的成长经历，包括她如何被收养、在学校的表现、学业成就以及家庭遭遇的变故，展现了Anne面对困境时的积极态度和坚韧精神。 1. 细节理解题。根据第一段“Having heard about Anne’s lonely childhood, they thought that Anne might not be the “useful” boy they’d wanted to work on the farm, but she needed their sympathy.(听说了安妮孤独的童年经历后，他们觉得安妮可能不是他们想要的那种能在农场干活的“得力”男孩，但她需要他们的同情。)”可知，Anne可怜的童年让Matthew和Marilla决定收养Anne。故选B。 2. 细节理解题。根据第二段“However, even though Marilla often scolded Anne for daydreaming and ignoring her chores, Anne never complained and kept a positive heart.(然而，尽管Marilla经常因为Anne做白日梦和忽视家务而责备她，但Anne从不抱怨，保持着一颗积极的心。)”可知，Anne经常忽视家务。故选C。 3. 推理判断题。根据最后一段“On Anne’s second morning at home, Matthew suddenly died of a heart attack. Soon, Marilla saw a specialist and learnt that unless she took measures to preserve her eyesight, she would be blind within six months.( 在安妮回到家的第二天早上，马修突发心脏病去世了。不久之后，玛丽拉去看了专科医生，得知除非采取措施保护视力，否则她将在六个月内失明。)”和“Anne stands silently in the dim farmyard, watching Marilla’s lonely figure with a heavy heart. The scholarship letter from Queen’s lies untouched on her desk…(安妮静静地站在昏暗的农家院子里，心情沉重地望着玛丽拉孤单的背影。女王学院的奖学金通知书还原封不动地放在她的书桌上……)”可知，马修去世、玛丽拉即将失明且无人依靠，安妮的奖学金信未动，由此可推断她会放弃学业、优先照顾家人。故选C。 4. 主旨大意题。文章讲述了Anne在面对各种困境时，始终保持积极的态度，努力克服困难，最终取得了一定的成就，但在家庭遭遇变故时，她可能选择将家庭放在首位。由此可知，文章的主旨是“当生活给你柠檬时，就做柠檬水”，即面对困境时，要积极应对，努力将不利情况转化为有利情况。故选D。 (6) (2026届湖南长沙市长郡中学等校高三下学期三模英语) Growing up in Ghana, Kofi was fascinated by Chinese movies like Journey to the West, which sparked his curiosity about Chinese language and culture. Determined to understand more, he enrolled in a Chinese studies program at a top university in Ghana in 2017. The beginning was challenging. The unfamiliar characters, tones, and grammar made him consider quitting after his very first lesson. Fortunately, his Chinese teacher offered consistent encouragement and even invited him to spend a vacation fully engaged in language practice. It was then that he received his Chinese name, Wang Chenggong, meaning “King of Success”. To deepen his cultural understanding, Kofi volunteered at the Confucius Institute, where he learned calligraphy, paper-cutting, and dragon dance. His efforts were recognized with several awards. In 2019, he was elected president of his university’s Chinese Students Association and later won the national Chinese Bridge competition, which earned him a scholarship to study in China. Although the pandemic delayed his plans, he persisted, working as a teaching assistant and volunteer Chinese teacher in Ghana. Finally, in September 2023, Kofi arrived in China. Beyond the language and culture he had long studied, he experienced firsthand the realities of Chinese-style modernization: efficient high-speed railways, mobile payment systems, and AI-enabled services. What struck him most was the sense of safety — leaving his laptop in the library or forgetting his diary on the subway never led to loss, thanks to the honest and systemic social order. Reflecting on his journey, Kofi often says, “Wo de ren sheng yin zhong wen er mei li” — “My life is beautiful because of Chinese.” From movie-inspired curiosity to life-changing cross-cultural immersion, his story illustrates how passion and perseverance can bridge continents and create new beginnings. 1. What initially motivated Kofi to learn Chinese? A. A scholarship to study in China. B. Encouragement from his family. C. Awards from the Confucius Institute. D. Chinese movies he watched in childhood. 2. What does Kofi’s experience in paragraph 2 mainly show? A. The value of a teacher’s support. B. The importance of a Chinese name. C. The challenges of a different culture. D. The difficulty of learning a language. 3. What left the deepest impression on Kofi after he arrived in China? A. The smooth high-speed trains. B. The convenience of payment. C. The security of modern Chinese society. D. Services powered by artificial intelligence. 4. What does the underlined word “immersion” in the last paragraph mean? A. Planning. B. Mobility. C. Safety. D. Involvement. 【答案】1. D 2. A 3. C 4. D 【难度】0.78 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述加纳人科菲受中国电影启发，学习汉语、了解中国文化，最终前往中国留学的跨文化之旅。 1. 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Growing up in Ghana, Kofi was fascinated by Chinese movies like Journey to the West, which sparked his curiosity about Chinese language and culture. (科菲在加纳长大，对《西游记》等中国电影非常着迷，这激发了他对汉语和中国文化的好奇心。)”可知，科菲最初学习汉语的动力是他童年时看的中国电影。故选D项。 2. 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“The beginning was challenging. The unfamiliar characters, tones, and grammar made him consider quitting after his very first lesson. Fortunately, his Chinese teacher offered consistent encouragement and even invited him to spend a vacation fully engaged in language practice. (一开始充满挑战。陌生的汉字、声调以及语法让他第一节课后就考虑放弃。幸运的是，他的汉语老师给予了他持续的鼓励，甚至邀请他度过一个全身心投入语言练习的假期。)”可知，科菲起初学习汉语很困难并想放弃，正是老师的鼓励让他坚持了下来，这段经历主要体现了老师支持的价值。故选A项。 3. 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“What struck him most was the sense of safety — leaving his laptop in the library or forgetting his diary on the subway never led to loss, thanks to the honest and systemic social order. (最让他印象深刻的是安全感——由于诚信且系统的社会秩序，把笔记本电脑留在图书馆或把日记忘在地铁上从来不会导致丢失。)”可知，科菲到达中国后，印象最深刻的是中国现代社会的安全性。故选C项。 4. 词句猜测题。根据最后一段中的“From movie-inspired curiosity to life-changing cross-cultural immersion, his story illustrates how passion and perseverance can bridge continents and create new beginnings. (从电影激发的好奇心到改变人生的跨文化immersion，他的故事说明了热情和毅力如何跨越大陆，创造新的开端。)”结合前文科菲学习汉语、参与中国文化相关活动、前往中国亲身体验等内容可知，他深度参与到了中国文化中，由此猜测immersion意为“参与、沉浸”，与involvement意思相近。故选D项。 (7) (2025-2026学年湖南省教育战略合作学校高三上学期第二次联考英语) My son still tells people this story, though he and I remember it differently. The difference is more a matter of the way we feel about what happened — what it says about us. New England was in the middle of a July heat wave, and we were driving from a funeral in Massachusetts back to summer camp in Maine, where I ran a music program and fifteen-year-old Darius was a camper. Twelve years had passed since the accident that had taken the lives of my wife and older son, and Darius and I were finally in a good place. But funerals could still be triggering, and even though my grandfather had made it past a hundred, we’d still been unprepared. The funeral was more stressful than sad. My mother asked me to play a song, so I prepared George Harrison’s “All Things Must Pass.” But I got performance anxiety, messed up the chords, and almost dropped the guitar. We left quickly, wanting to get back to camp for a play that night. On the highway, I realized too late that the car was out of gas. The Corolla ran out of gas and stopped halfway up the road. We discovered a gas station was a little over a mile away. I told Darius to sit in the driver’s seat. When I shouted “Now,” he put the car in neutral (空档) and I pushed. Somehow, impossibly, the car rolled up the hill. I hopped into the passenger seat, and we coasted down the other side. But even after coasting, the car still couldn’t make it to the station. We had to walk the last mile, taking turns carrying the gas can. That day became a legend for Darius: My dad pushed a car up a hill. I knew it was more luck than strength, but he saw me as a hero. When I remember now, I think mostly of our walk back, the two of us passing the can, Darius smiling and calm. His gift has always been empathy, kindness, and a sense of hope. I don’t know what got that car moving, but I know who kept me moving toward the future. 1. Why does the author mention the funeral at the beginning? A. To show the emotional setting. B. To present the travel schedule. C. To reveal the family background. D. To highlight the grandfather’s age. 2. Why did the father push the car uphill? A. To move the car safely. B. To avoid missing the play. C. To test Darius’ driving skills. D. To reach a nearby gas station. 3. What does Darius mainly remember from that day? A. The failure at the funeral. B. His grandfather’s long life. C. His father’s heroic strength. D. Their walk with the gas can. 4. What is the main message of the story? A. Hard work always pays off. B. Family bonds help overcome loss. C. Luck is more important than effort. D. Strength matters more than empathy. 【答案】1. A 2. D 3. C 4. B 【难度】0.65 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者与儿子 Darius在一次出行中的经历，通过一个小插曲——汽车没油、父子齐心推车——展现了家庭成员之间的情感联结、理解与支持，以及在困难中体现出的同理心和希望。 1. 推理判断题。根据第二段“New England was in the middle of a July heat wave, and we were driving from a funeral in Massachusetts back to summer camp in Maine, where I ran a music program and fifteen-year-old Darius was a camper. Twelve years had passed since the accident that had taken the lives of my wife and older son, and Darius and I were finally in a good place. But funerals could still be triggering, and even though my grandfather had made it past a hundred, we’d still been unprepared.(新英格兰正处于七月的热浪之中，我们从马萨诸塞州的葬礼开车回到缅因州的夏令营，在那里我主持了一个音乐节目，15岁的Darius是一名露营者。那场夺走我妻子和大儿子生命的事故已经过去了十二年，Darius和我的状态终于好了。但葬礼仍然可能引发，即使我祖父已经过了一百岁，我们仍然没有做好准备)”可知，文章开头提及葬礼是为了交代情绪背景，为后续父子经历设定心理氛围。故选A。 2. 细节理解题。根据第四段“On the highway, I realized too late that the car was out of gas. The Corolla ran out of gas and stopped halfway up the road. We discovered a gas station was a little over a mile away.(在高速公路上，我意识到汽车没油了，但为时已晚。卡罗拉的汽油用完了，停在半路上。我们发现一英里多一点的地方有一个加油站)”、第五段“I told Darius to sit in the driver’s seat. When I shouted “Now,” he put the car in neutral and I pushed.(我让Darius坐在驾驶座上。当我大喊“现在”时，他把车放在空挡，我在后面用力推车)”可知，父亲推车的目的是为了把没油的车推向附近的加油站。故选D。 3. 推理判断题。根据第七段“That day became a legend for Darius: My dad pushed a car up a hill. I knew it was more luck than strength, but he saw me as a hero.(那一天成了Darius的传奇：我父亲推着一辆车上山。我知道这更多的是运气而不是力量，但他把我视为英雄)”可知，Darius主要记得的是父亲那天推车上坡的英勇举动，在他看来，父亲是一位“英雄”，这表明他记住的重点是父亲的力量与勇气。故选C。 4. 主旨大意题。通读全文，结合最后一段“When I remember now, I think mostly of our walk back, the two of us passing the can, Darius smiling and calm. His gift has always been empathy, kindness, and a sense of hope. I don’t know what got that car moving, but I know who kept me moving toward the future.(如今每当我回想起来，脑海中浮现的大多是我们往回走的那段路 —— 我俩并肩经过那辆车，Darius脸上挂着微笑，神情平静自若。共情、善良与满怀希望，向来都是他与生俱来的特质。我不清楚是什么力量让那辆车重新发动，但我知道，是谁一直激励着我，稳步走向未来)”可知，作者通过推车经历和对Darius品质的描写(同理心、善良、希望)，展示了家庭成员间的互助与支持。文章主旨强调家庭纽带帮助人们克服生活中的失落与困难，而非单纯的努力、运气或体力。故选B。 (8) (2025届湖北省华师一附中高三下学期五月月考英语) The boat ride from Helsinki’s city center to the island of Pihlajasaari takes only 10 minutes and drops off visitors at beaches for sunbathing. But I had a different mission: to speak to a tree. This was meant to be a healing exercise, one championed by the Finnish biologist Adela Pajunen. Finns, she’d told me, sometimes share their worries aloud to trees or birds. On shore, I spotted a short black alder tree and began to tell the tree my troubles. The leaves rustled (沙沙作响) in response, a sign I interpreted as sympathy. I had come to Finland to see whether I could bring happiness back to America with me. Finland has topped the World Happiness Report for the past eight years, largely due to free education and universal health care. And the Finns also find happiness in more attainable ways, such as their close relationship with nature and visiting the sauna (桑拿) daily. These activities contain similar goals: Stay present and seek a minimalist lifestyle that relies on the earth. I followed their lifestyle — visiting the sauna and taking a relaxing forest walk, and happiness came in waves over the next few days. I was optimistic that I could recreate the happiest moments of this trip back home in New York. How hard could it be, really? As it turned out, happiness was a luxury in America, though I tried hard to live exactly like the Finns. Then one afternoon, I had a breakthrough as I rushed through Central Park and noticed a crowd of people staring at the ground. A cardinal! I stopped to admire the bird’s feather before it flew away. This was a win for staying present. I’d been so stuck trying to find the time and money for happiness that I’d missed the point: Quiet the mind, and find pleasure in small acts and observations — like a cardinal taking flight, or talking to trees — right then and there. As I left the park, I carried out a small but comforting ritual (仪式) I’d developed. I thanked the trees for listening. 1. Why did the author speak to a tree? A. To heal the tree. B. To seek happiness. C. To follow a tradition. D. To appreciate nature. 2. What do we know about the Finnish lifestyle? A. It requires daily sauna visits. B. It values close relationships. C. It is easily adopted elsewhere. D. It focuses on simple pleasures. 3. Why couldn’t the author recreate happy moments back in America? A. She was busy with work. B. It was noisy in New York. C. She forgot to stay present. D. It was expensive to live there. 4. Which of the following best describes the author’s trip to Finland? A. Transformative. B. Challenging. C. Adventurous. D. Unexpected. 【答案】1. B 2. D 3. C 4. A 【难度】0.65 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述作者向芬兰人寻求幸福之道的经历。 1. 细节理解题。根据第一段中“But I had a different mission: to speak to a tree.(但我有一个不同的任务：和一棵树说话)”和第三段中“I had come to Finland to see whether I could bring happiness back to America with me.(我来芬兰是想看看能不能把幸福带回美国)”可知，作者对着一棵树说话是为了寻求幸福。故选B。 2. 细节理解题。根据第三段中“And the Finns also find happiness in more attainable ways, such as their close relationship with nature and visiting the sauna (桑拿) daily. These activities contain similar goals: Stay present and seek a minimalist lifestyle that relies on the earth.(芬兰人也通过更容易获得的方式找到快乐，比如与自然的亲密关系和每天去桑拿房。这些活动都有相似的目标：活在当下，寻求一种依赖地球的极简主义生活方式)”可知，芬兰人的生活方式专注于简单的快乐。故选D。 3. 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“Then one afternoon, I had a breakthrough as I rushed through Central Park and noticed a crowd of people staring at the ground. A cardinal! I stopped to admire the bird’s feather before it flew away. This was a win for staying present. I’d been so stuck trying to find the time and money for happiness that I’d missed the point: Quiet the mind, and find pleasure in small acts and observations-like a cardinal taking flight, or talking to trees-right then and there.(后来有一天下午，当我冲过中央公园，注意到一群人盯着地面看的时候，我有了一个突破。一只红衣凤头鸟！鸟儿飞走之前，我停下来欣赏它的羽毛。这是活在当下的胜利。我一直在努力寻找时间和金钱来获得快乐，以至于我错过了要点：让心灵平静下来，从微小的行为和观察中寻找幸福——比如红衣凤头鸟在飞翔，或者与树木交谈——就在此时此地)”可知，作者回到美国后很难重现幸福，直到一天下午停下来欣赏一只红衣凤头鸟才顿悟，活在当下才能感到幸福。由此推知，作者回到美国无法重现幸福是因为她忘记了活在当下。故选C。 4. 推理判断题。根据第三段中“These activities contain similar goals: Stay present and seek a minimalist lifestyle that relies on the earth.(这些活动都有相似的目标：活在当下，寻求一种依赖地球的极简主义生活方式)”和倒数第二段中“This was a win for staying present.

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. 1. 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. 2. 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. 3. 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. 4. 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】1. A 2. C 3. B 4. A 【难度】0.7 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者与两位年过七旬的朋友的四天荒野探险经历。 1. 细节理解题。根据第三段的句子“Fixing my eyes on her boots, I inched along the shaky logs.(我盯着她的靴子，小心翼翼地沿着摇晃的圆木慢慢挪动。)”可知，作者盯着向导的靴子，小心翼翼地一步步走过摇晃的圆木桥。故选A项。 2. 细节理解题。根据第六段的句子“As they started towards us, we recovered enough to shout and wave our hiking poles. Taken aback, they stopped, and then slowly turned away.(当它们开始向我们走来时，我们缓过神来，大声呼喊并挥舞登山杖。它们吃了一惊，停了下来，然后慢慢转身离开。)”可知，熊被作者一行人的呼喊和挥杖动作吓到，因此转身离开。故选C项。 3. 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段的句子“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.(在我们旅行的最后一个早晨，我们在森林里安静而沉思地走了一段之后，被要求带回一根“有意义的”木棍、岩石和树叶来分享哪些会“留存”在我们心中，哪些“震撼”了我们，以及我们愿意“放下”什么)”可知，向导通过这些自然物品引导大家反思旅程中的收获与感悟。故选B项。 4. 词句猜测题。根据最后一段的语境，向导称赞她们的健康和积极态度，并表示希望自己三四十年后也能像她们一样。这些意外的话语温暖了作者的心，缓解了她对“over the hill”的恐惧。结合前文提到的“we were all in our seventies(我们都七十多岁了)”以及“ageing(变老)”这一主题，“over the hill”指的是已过青春巅峰、年老体衰的状态。故选A项。 (10) (2025-2026学年湖北宜昌市一中等名校高三下学期4月阶段检测英语) In kindergarten, my teacher handed me child-safe scissors. As I squeezed my fingers into the handles, the paper turned into a mess. She sighed, “Try harder.” What she didn’t know was that I had just begun my lifelong fight against a world built for the right hand. That fight follows me everywhere. Lecture seats with desks on the right twist my body like a knot and leave handwriting that looks like a doctor’s notes. Scissors, zippers, notebooks and even door handles seem to work against us. When I took up guitar in college, my instructor looked at me as if I had done something strange. Apparently, left-handed guitars are “special order” — code for twice the price, half the sympathy. You’d think a few legends would change things. Paul McCartney flipped his bass and changed music forever. Rafael Nadal trained his left hand to become a tennis champion. Even Isaac Newton was left-handed. But no. Despite all these famous lefties, the world still treats us like some kind of oddity. My grandmother, for instance, once tied my left hand behind my back. “Use your right,” she ordered. I tried — and spilled a whole bowl of soup on the floor. She gave up, muttering, “Maybe she’s special.” I think she meant “hopeless.” Science, of course, has my back. Researchers say lefties are more creative and better at problem-solving. It’s no surprise we’re common among artists, musicians, and athletes. When you’ve spent your life wrestling with scissors and doorknobs that don’t fit, a blank page or a tennis racket feels like child’s play. Even so, the daily comedy continues. At restaurants, I’ve developed a sixth sense for table positioning — always to the left of right-handers. People still stare sometimes, but I’ve come to enjoy it. Being left-handed isn’t just about using a different hand — it’s about thinking differently, adapting constantly, and laughing through the chaos. After all, in a right-handed world, being left isn’t wrong — it’s just brilliantly inconvenient. 1. What do we know about the author’s guitar instructor? A. He thought her playing odd. B. He placed a special guitar order. C. He suggested changing her habit. D. He felt sympathy for left-handers. 2. Why does the author mention several celebrities? A. To celebrate influential figures. B. To show fame fails to end bias. C. To inspire disadvantaged groups. D. To prove ability earns recognition. 3. What strength do left-handers possess according to researchers? A. Natural talent for children’s games. B. Smooth adaptation to surroundings. C. Good command of regularly-used tools. D. Exceptional competence in solving problems. 4. What is the author’s present attitude towards being left-handed? A. Proud and casual. B. Relieved and optimistic. C. Confused and hesitant. D. Resigned and unconcerned. 【答案】1. A 2. B 3. D 4. B 【难度】0.78 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。作者讲述身为左撇子在生活、学习中遭遇诸多不便与偏见，科研表明左撇子更具创造力，作者最终乐观接纳自身不同。 1. 细节理解题。根据第二段“When I took up guitar in college, my instructor looked at me as if I had done something strange.(在大学里我开始学习吉他时，我的老师看着我，仿佛我在做一件很奇怪的事情)”可知，作者的吉他老师觉得她的演奏很奇怪。故选A。 2. 推理判断题。根据第三段“You’d think a few legends would change things. Paul McCartney flipped his bass and changed music forever. Rafael Nadal trained his left hand to become a tennis champion. Even Isaac Newton was left-handed. But no. Despite all these famous lefties, the world still treats us like some kind of oddity.(你可能会认为一些传奇人物的出现能够改变一切。保罗·麦卡特尼把贝司翻转过来演奏，从而彻底改变了音乐的走向。拉斐尔·纳达尔通过训练左手成为了网球冠军。就连艾萨克·牛顿也是左撇子。但事实并非如此。尽管有这么多著名的左撇子，这个世界却仍然把我们当作某种怪异的存在来对待)”可知，作者提及几位名人是为了表明名声无法消除偏见。故选B。 3. 细节理解题。根据第四段“Science, of course, has my back. Researchers say lefties are more creative and better at problem-solving.(当然，科学是站在我们这边的。研究人员表示，左撇子更具创造力，也更擅长解决问题)”可知，研究人员称左撇子具有解决问题的非凡能力。故选D。 4. 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Being left-handed isn’t just about using a different hand — it’s about thinking differently, adapting constantly, and laughing through the chaos. After all, in a right-handed world, being left isn’t wrong — it’s just brilliantly inconvenient.(左撇子并非仅仅意味着使用不同的手——它还意味着思维方式的差异、不断适应变化以及在混乱中保持乐观。毕竟，在一个以右手为主的世界里，左撇子并非错误——只是极其不便罢了)”可知，作者对于自己是左撇子这一事实如释重负且乐观。故选B。 (11) (2025-2026学年浙江省杭州学军中学高三上学期10月月考英语) At first sight, Easthope doesn’t seem much like a Cassandra. She smiles a lot. Her manner is kind and motherly; pushed to name her profession, you might guess at nurse or teacher. But look closer. Easthope is an emergency planner whose job is to support the survivors of major disasters, in which capacity she acted following the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami and the fire at Grenfell Tower. For two decades, the public knew nothing about this vital work, which went on behind the scenes, though she was hugely admired in what we might call professional disaster circles: a voice of calm and a fountain of wisdom. But in 2023, she published a best-selling book about her career, When the Dust Settles, and that changed. People became very interested in what she did. “At literary festivals, most authors get questions about their writing process,” Easthope says. “But I wouldn’t get those. What people wanted from me was to know how I lived with the knowledge that I have. Wasn’t I afraid? How did I handle? I would tell them that I didn’t live afraid, and I would give them basic advice. But this wasn’t enough.” In the end, she felt she had no choice but to write a second book, one in which she would try to distill (浓缩) all that she has learned for the benefit of each individual. While her publisher describes Come What May as a road map for resilience (韧性), the word is one Easthope dislikes. Ready, she suggests, is a better one. Easthope also reminds people that small things, like losing hair during illness or consuming too much food after someone dies, still matter. She encourages people to remember, not to forget, what happened during disasters, because such events leave a long-lasting effect. 1. What might a Cassandra be like according to paragraph 1? A. Severe and forbidding. B. Competent and cautious. C. Friendly and energetic. D. Cheerful and approachable. 2. What led to increased public awareness of Easthope’s work in 2023? A. The publication of a best seller. B. The growth of professional disaster circles. C. Her involvement in 2004 tsunami relief. D. Her sudden rise to fame through media. 3. Why are readers’ questions cited in paragraph 3? A. To reveal Easthope’s personal fears. B. To explain Easthope’s writing process. C. To show Easthope’s writing motivation. D. To present public doubts about Easthope’s work. 4. What does Easthope agree on handling disasters? A. Resilience matters most. B. Forgetting aids recovery. C. Positive thinking takes the lead. D. Minor sufferings deserve attention. 【答案】1. A 2. A 3. C 4. D 【难度】0.65 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了紧急规划师露西·伊斯索普从幕后工作到因出版畅销书《尘埃落定时》而进入公众视野的经历，以及她第二本书《任凭风雨来袭》的创作动机和核心理念。 1. 推理判断题。根据第一段中“At first sight, Easthope doesn’t seem much like a Cassandra. She smiles a lot. Her manner is kind and motherly... (乍一看，Easthope不太像一位Cassandra。她笑容满面。她的举止亲切、充满母性)”可知，作者将Easthope的外在表现与“Cassandra”进行对比，Easthope给人的印象是亲切的、面带微笑的，因此与之相反的“Cassandra”形象应更偏向于严肃、令人敬畏的。故选A项。 2. 细节理解题。根据第二段中“But in 2023, she published a best-selling book about her career, When the Dust Settles, and that changed. People became very interested in what she did. (但在2023年，她出版了一本关于她职业生涯的畅销书《尘埃落定时》，情况发生了变化。人们开始对她所做的工作非常感兴趣)”可知，2023年公众对Easthope工作认知度的提高，源于她出版了一本畅销书。故选A项。 3. 推理判断题。根据第三段中“What people wanted from me was to know how I lived with the knowledge that I have. Wasn’t I afraid? How did I handle? I would tell them that I didn’t live afraid, and I would give them basic advice. But this wasn’t enough.” In the end, she felt she had no choice but to write a second book, one in which she would try to distill (浓缩) all that she has learned for the benefit of each individual.(“人们想从我这里知道的，是我如何带着我所掌握的那些认知生活。我不害怕吗？我是怎么应对的？我会告诉他们我并非活在恐惧中，并给他们一些基本的建议。但这还不够。”最终，她觉得别无选择，只能再写一本书，一本试图为她所学到的一切凝练精髓，以惠及每一位读者的书)”可知，作者在本段引用读者的问题，是想说明这些问题反映了公众对如何应对灾难知识的渴求，而这种需求促使伊斯索普决定写作第二本书，即解释了其写作动机。故选C项。 4. 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Easthope also reminds people that small things, like losing hair during illness or consuming too much food after someone dies, still matter. (伊斯索普还提醒人们，一些小事，比如生病时脱发或某人去世后暴饮暴食，仍然很重要)”可知，伊斯索普认为微小的痛苦(小事情)也值得关注。故选D项。 (12) (2025-2026学年浙江省杭州第二中学高三上学期12月月考英语) The excitement was undeniable as my friends and I began our seven-day trip to Kashmir. For four days, everything was perfect. On the fifth day, we were playing in the snow when the wind suddenly picked up. I had wandered away from the group, and before I knew it, the sound of laughter faded. I was alone, surrounded by a frightening silence and a blinding white blur. My phone had no signal. Trapped in a frozen maze, fear closed in. Then, through the swirling snow, I saw a figure walking steadily toward me. I wanted to call out, but hesitated, unsure of whether to trust a stranger. But as he drew closer, his calm gaze and quiet presence sparked a flicker of hope. “Are you alright?” he asked softly, his voice warm despite the cold. “I’m lost,” I admitted, my voice trembling. “I can’t find my friends, and there’s no signal on my phone.” He nodded knowingly. “The storm makes it hard to see. You’re lucky I found you.” “How do I get back?” I asked, my voice shaky. “Follow me,” he said simply. “I know this area well.” We walked for what felt like hours. Suddenly, I saw the faint outline of people in the distance. Relief washed over me like a tidal wave as I realized it was my group. I hugged them tightly and told them about my helper but when I looked back to thank him once more, he was nowhere to be found. For a moment I wondered if I had imagined the whole thing. I never saw the man again but that brief encounter taught me something precious: in our darkest moments of being lost and scared, it’s not just who you know, but the unexpected kindness of a stranger who shows up that matters most. 1. How did the author feel when lost? A. In a temper. B. Over the moon. C. In a panic. D. At ease. 2. What can be inferred about the stranger? A. He was a professional local guide. B. He was sent by the author’s friends. C. He was actually looking for someone else. D. He was familiar with the place and composed. 3. What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 7 imply? A. The author believed the helper was a magical figure. B. The author remained frightened even after reuniting with his friends. C. The author found the stranger’s help so miraculous that it seemed unreal. D. The author unwillingly believed that the stranger had actually helped him. 4. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Follow Me B. Always Trust Strangers C. Never Wander Alone D. Brave the Storm 【答案】1. C 2. D 3. C 4. A 【难度】0.65 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者和朋友在克什米尔旅行时，因暴风雪与同伴走散，随后得到一位陌生人数助得以重逢的经历，从中领悟到陌生人的善意在困境中的珍贵。 1. 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“I was alone, surrounded by a frightening silence and a blinding white blur. My phone had no signal. Trapped in a frozen maze, fear closed in.(我独自一人，被可怕的寂静和刺眼的白茫茫一片包围着。我的手机没有信号。被困在一个冰封的迷宫里，恐惧步步紧逼)”可知，作者迷路时处于恐惧之中，内心十分慌乱。故选C项。 2. 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Then, through the swirling snow, I saw a figure walking steadily toward me.(然后，透过纷飞的雪花，我看到一个人影稳步向我走来)”和第五段中的““Follow me,” he said simply. “I know this area well.”(“跟我来，”他简单地说。“我对这个地方很熟悉。”)”可推断，这位陌生人沉着冷静，且对这个地方很熟悉。故选D项。 3. 词句猜测题。根据第七段中的“I hugged them tightly and told them about my helper but when I looked back to thank him once more, he was nowhere to be found. For a moment I wondered if I had imagined the whole thing.(我紧紧地拥抱他们，告诉他们关于我的救助者的事，但当我回头想再一次感谢他时，他却不见了踪影。那一刻，我怀疑整件事是不是我想象出来的)”可知，作者刚和朋友重逢，想感谢救助者却发现他已消失，以至于怀疑这段被救助的经历是否真实。划线句意为“那一刻，我怀疑整件事是不是我想象出来的”，暗示作者觉得陌生人的帮助太过神奇，仿佛不真实。故选C项。 4. 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章围绕作者在暴风雪中迷路、被陌生人救助、与朋友重逢的经历展开，核心是陌生人在作者困境中伸出援手的善意，以及这段经历带来的感悟。A项“跟我来”，是陌生人救助作者时说的话，能概括关键情节，且简洁有感染力，适合作本文标题。故选A项。 (13) (2026届浙江省杭州学军中学高三年级上学期期末考试英语) The incident took place, believe it or not, on the playground. I was something of a football player, but I had never been a good player, far less a great one. I played for the mere physical joy that I got out of the game, but I played with a will, and put my whole heart into the game. The result was that, though I had plenty of energy and enthusiasm, I was never picked for my college team. Let me confess frankly that this was only because there was another player in the same position who happened to be much better than me. I considered myself the better sportsman, but he was certainly the greater player. So I never grumbled or complained. I was content to wait and bide my time. And at last my patience was rewarded. It was for me a very special day. Our team had shot up into the final and was meeting its rival (竞争对手). Our star-player sent word at the last moment that he was ill and he could not take the field. Imagine the astonishment in the college camp! The thought was that the game was as good as lost, and so also, I confess, did I for this player was our trump card (王牌): That is what everybody always said. However, something had to be done, and that something had to be myself! The captain called me up almost apologetically for having failed to recognize my greatness before, and — there I was, on the playground, greeted by the cheers of my friends, and a few jeers from those who had little faith in my prowess. I can tell you that I played like a demon (技艺出众的人). I was here, there and everywhere — now leading the attack, now falling back to help the defense. It was indeed a thrilling moment in my life. For a time, I was the center of all attention, the object of universal applause, and “the observed of all observers”. And, believe it or not, it was I who put in the winning goal. It marked the top of a glorious day. Even now I look back on the episode with unmixed pleasure and satisfaction. 1. What can you learn about the author from the first two paragraphs? A.

They overheard a plan to build a processing station for natural gas 14 miles off the coast of Oxnard. The plant would send over 200 tons of air pollution per year to Erica’s community. Not only that, the station would take in millions of gallons of seawater per day to cool its generators, and discharge the water more than 15 degrees centigrade hotter than the surrounding ocean. This hot wastewater would cause serious harm to the surrounding ecosystem, killing tiny creatures and small fish critical to the survival of marine mammals and fisheries. Erica cared too much to stay silent. She joined her friends in weekly protests at the office of the natural gas company. Prospects of stopping the project did not look good. The governor was in favor of it, and so were the powerful state commissions that would have to approve it. “The word on the street was that there was nothing we could do.” Behind the scenes, however, opposition was growing, so Erica became the spokesperson for the youth of the town. She regularly walked her neighborhood along the route of the proposed pipeline, using a hula hoop to show people the size of the pipe that would pass by their houses. She talked to the media, and stories about the dangers of the proposed facility began appearing in the press. “We made thousands of phone calls and sent thousands of postcards telling the governor why this facility was a bad idea.” In July 2007, the governor made an unexpected move: He turned down the project. Erica and her friends won! As only the second person in her family to go to college, Erica wants to become an environmental lawyer so she can fight for the environment and for the rights of communities. She wants other young people to speak out when they see something wrong, even if they feel shy about it at first. She likes to quote the words of her role model, César Chávez: “We are the future. The future is ours.” 1. What can be learned about the to-be-built processing station? A. It is climate-damaging. B. It is ecologically-unfriendly. C. It provides energy to the locals. D. It uses seawater-driven generators. 2. Why does the author mention the governor? A. To express Erica’s desperate mood. B. To show the great barriers Erica faced. C. To stress the support from the government. D. To blame the protest on the official’s inaction. 3. Which of the following can best describe Erica? A. Creative and industrious. B. Pioneering and curious. C. Determined and responsible. D. Adventurous and talkative. 4. What message is mainly conveyed through Erica’s story? A. Courage is always rewarded in the end. B. Success depends on teamwork and cooperation. C. Young people can bring about change by speaking up. D. Environmental protection should come before economic development. 【答案】1. B 2. B 3. C 4. C 【难度】0.72 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Erica Hernandez为阻止对生态环境有害的天然气处理站建设，积极组织抗议活动，最终成功推动项目被否决，并立志成为环保律师，鼓励年轻人勇敢发声的故事。 1. 细节理解题。根据第一段“This hot wastewater would cause serious harm to the surrounding ecosystem, killing tiny creatures and small fish critical to the survival of marine mammals and fisheries.(这些高温废水会对周围生态系统造成严重危害，杀死对海洋哺乳动物和渔业生存至关重要的微小生物和小鱼。)”可知，拟建的处理站会对生态系统造成严重危害，即生态不友好。故选B。 2. 推理判断题。根据第二段“The governor was in favor of it, and so were the powerful state commissions that would have to approve it.(州长支持它，那些必须批准它的强大的州委员会也支持它。)”可知，作者提到州长是为了表明Erica在阻止项目时面临的巨大障碍。故选B。 3. 推理判断题。根据第二段“She joined her friends in weekly protests at the office of the natural gas company.(她和朋友们每周都在天然气公司办公室抗议。)”以及第三段“She regularly walked her neighborhood along the route of the proposed pipeline, using a hula hoop to show people the size of the pipe that would pass by their houses.(她经常沿着拟议的管道路线在社区行走，用呼啦圈向人们展示管道的大小。)”等行为可知，Erica面对强大阻力仍坚持抗议，积极行动，体现出她的坚定与责任感。故选C。 4. 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“She wants other young people to speak out when they see something wrong, even if they feel shy about it at first.(她希望其他年轻人在看到问题时勇敢发声，即使一开始会感到害羞。)”以及她的事迹可知，文章主要传达的信息是年轻人可以通过发声带来改变。故选C。 (15) (2026届浙江宁波“十校”下学期高三3月联考二模英语) Victoria Rinsma, sous chef at Michelin-recognized Hexagon in Ontario, has earned her place among the world’s top 15 culinary (烹饪的) talents after winning last year’s Canadian title.

Most of her classmates were kind. Still, Anne often felt set apart. In quiet moments, a sense of loneliness would wash over her — she was tired of feeling different from everyone else. That year, the Easter Bunny brought her a basket with a special doll. The doll, Chelsea, is Barbie’s sister, and she, too, wore a back brace for scoliosis. “She’s just like me!” Anne cried to her mother, Nicole, who smiled as the little girl examined every detail, right down to the doll’s curved spine. Anne played with Chelsea every day, bringing the doll everywhere. She felt a sisterhood with another girl like her. Weeks later, Anne voiced a heartfelt wish: “Mom, I wish all girls with scoliosis could have this doll so they don’t ever feel alone either.” Nicole saw renewed determination in her daughter’s eyes and helped turn the idea into a family mission. Anne’s twin brother and her dad both jumped in to help. They launched their efforts by starting a lemonade stand during a neighborhood sale, and then created a GoFundMe page on the Internet. After a local news station featured their story, the doll’s maker stepped in to support the cause, supplying all the dolls they needed. What began as a goal to donate 50 dolls quickly grew beyond expectation. Now 11 years old, Anne and her family have donated more than 870 Chelsea dolls to hospitals nationwide, bringing smiles to countless children. “Even if you feel alone, you’re not,” she shared. “Everybody has something.

(2) (2025-2026学年湖北孝感高中高三下学期2月英语) When Leah Lizarondo grew up in the Philippines, all-parts cooking was really popular. “It was trendy to serve all the parts of the food material,” she remembers. After moving to the US, Lizarondo struggled with the amount of food she saw going to waste. “The way fish is sold here mostly is fillets (去骨鱼片),” she says. “What happens to the rest of that fish?” Concerned by the amount of food waste that grocery stores and restaurants were throwing away every day in the US, Lizarondo decided to launch Food Rescue Hero, a food recovery platform that redirects unused food by getting volunteers to use an app to collect it; they then deliver the food to organizations and individuals who are experiencing food insecurity. Lizarondo explains that the technology behind the platform is not innovative; she compares it to the tech behind delivery services like Uber Eats and DoorDash. However, Lizarondo says getting people to give up their time to make deliveries is where they differ. While an Uber driver might wrestle with whether their earnings on a delivery may be worth their time, Food Rescue Hero drivers almost always show up to deliver. The reason is simple: “If I am picking up food and I know that someone is specifically relying on this today, saying no becomes a harder decision to make,” she explains. The inner motivation among her volunteers has enabled her organization to grow to thousands of drivers. Lizarondo says 100, 000 deliveries have now been completed in Pittsburgh, where Food Rescue Hero was started. Across all the cities where they operate, they have rescued nearly 50 million pounds of food that would have otherwise gone to waste. Lizarondo’s network has now grown to twelve cities, and she has dreams of expanding further. However, it’s not easy to get funding. “I’m trying to convince donors that this model will provide that groundbreaking innovation that everyone’s looking for,” she says. 1. Which best describes all-parts cooking? A. It minimizes waste. B. It focuses on fish dishes. C. It promotes healthy diets. D. It originated in the Philippines. 2. What is the main purpose of Food Rescue Hero? A. To sell leftover food at lower prices. B. To ensure the food security of restaurants. C. To develop new tools to track food waste. D. To distribute unwanted food to those in need. 3. What can we learn about Food Rescue Hero drivers? A. They rely on highly innovative technology. B. They have built up an excellent reputation. C. They feel a strong sense of responsibility. D. They are offered good wages by Lizarondo. 4. What challenge does Lizarondo face while expanding her network? A. Finding committed volunteers. B. Securing enough financial support. C. Convincing groceries to donate food. D. Dealing with technical issues on the app. (3) (2026届湖南长沙市长郡中学高三下学期3月模拟预测英语) Dr. Punam Krishan is a general practitioner — a GP — one of the doctors who stand on the front line of medicine. GPs treat everyday illnesses, listen carefully to patients’ concerns, and decide when special medical care is needed. Beyond her work in clinics, Dr. Krishan is also a familiar face on television and the author of several books, including How to Be a Doctor and Other Life-Saving Jobs, You and Your Body, and her latest release, The Superhero’s First Aid Manual. Her journey into medicine began with caring for others. “It started off with me wanting to help people understand themselves better,” she once explained. She often noticed when someone looked unwell and felt driven to ask why. That quiet curiosity led her deeper into science, even when it was challenging, and eventually toward a life dedicated to healing others. To Dr. Krishan, being a GP is “one of the most incredible jobs in the world”. Every day, she meets people from different backgrounds and at different stages of life. With only ten minutes per patient, she must listen closely, read between the lines, and uncover the truth behind their symptoms, “It makes me feel a bit like a detective,” she said. Patients may arrive with one problem or many, and finding the right answer brings a sense of excitement that never fades. She describes her role as being “a bit of a best friend to people”. Her newest book was shaped by a deeply personal loss. When she was a child, her grandfather died, and for years she worried she had missed signs that he was unwell. That experience stayed with her and formed a powerful belief: recognizing illness can be a life-saving skill, even for children. Through her book, she teaches young readers to recognize emergencies such as allergic reactions or heart attacks, and to take simple but vital steps — staying calm, calling 999, or placing someone in the recovery position. For Dr. Krishan, heroism begins with care, courage, and knowledge. “Children should know the basics of how to be a superhero in that moment,” she added. 1. What can we learn about Dr. Krishan from the first paragraph? A. She takes on multiple roles. B. She excels in detailed work. C. She takes pleasure in reading. D. She aims for public recognition. 2. Why did Dr. Krishan dive into science? A. To tackle the scientific challenges. B. To make up for her childhood regret. C. To observe the lives of patients better. D. To find explanations for what she observed. 3. How does Dr. Krishan find her work as a GP? A. Fast-paced but fulfilling. B. Stressful but stable. C. Challenging but well-paid. D. Exhausting but promising. 4. What does Dr. Krishan’s experience indicate according to the last paragraph? A. Better late than never. B. Fix the roof before it rains. C. Time and tide wait for no man. D. Opportunity favors the prepared mind. (4) (2026届湖南长沙市第一中学高三英语第八次月考英语) When my mother passed away a few years ago, my father was left alone in the large house they had shared for 50 years. Without her to watch out for him, he was worried about who would find him and help if “something happened”. My sister and I live in other states, so we hit on the idea that Dad could email us every morning when he awoke. Then “the Morning Report” was born. He’s usually up by the crack of dawn, and his half a dozen or so sentences are waiting for me in my inbox when I wake up. If there’s no email, I call him, or my sister does, to make sure everything is fine. The reports have become more than an everyday check though; they’re a sort of diary, a catalyst (催化剂) for more extended conversations, and source of insight into his life. Through these emails, Dad tells us about his routines. He might be heading to the grocery store for bananas, going to his cardiac-rehab (心脏康复) exercise class, or having lunch with friends. Recently he told us, “I’ve climbed halfway up Mount Washington!” Given his age and distance from New Hampshire, such a hike had been unlikely. Each email closes with “All my love, Dad.” When my mother was alive, that feeling was normally reserved for her. Now that she is gone, he shares those feelings and his experiences with us. For me, what started as a simple security measure has spawned deeper closeness. I’m grateful my father is still able to manage his computer and the Internet. I know the day will come when he’ll no longer be able to write the reports, and we’ll have to find other ways to keep track of one another. But until then, they are our way of knowing that another normal day has begun. 1. What was the original purpose of “the Morning Report”? A. To ensure the father’s safety. B. To track the father’s daily routines. C. To keep the father from feeling lonely. D. To help the father manage his large house. 2. What can be inferred about the father’s current life? A. He leads a lonely life. B. He stays active and engaged. C. He misses his wife very much. D. He is learning to use a computer. 3. Which is closest in meaning to the underlined word “spawned” in paragraph 5? A. Hidden. B. Weakened. C. Shadowed. D. Created. 4. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. A Daily Email Check B. A Father’s Daily Life C. Love Across the Miles D. Connection via Technology (5) (2026届湖南师范大学附中高三英语模拟试卷英语) One June day in Avonlea, Prince Edward Island, Matthew Cuthbert and his sister, Marilla Cuthbert, lived on Green Gables farm. They wanted to adopt an orphan boy at the train station, but Matthew found no boy waiting — only a thin, red-haired girl named Anne. Not knowing what else to do, he brought her home. Having heard about Anne’s lonely childhood, they thought that Anne might not be the “useful” boy they’d wanted to work on the farm, but she needed their sympathy. Anne was overjoyed to be allowed to stay, and she always stayed positive whatever happened. Anne began to learn the household duties. However, even though Marilla often scolded Anne for daydreaming and ignoring her chores, Anne never complained and kept a positive heart. Later both Marilla and Matthew found Anne’s imaginative talk interesting, and soon they couldn’t imagine the farm without her. In the fall, Anne started off well at Avonlea school, but then she was teased by Gilbert Blythe, a handsome boy in her grade, for her red hair. Anne hit Gilbert on the head, and she was punished by her teacher and refused to attend school for a while. After Anne returned to school, she took a renewed interest in her studies and engaged in a growing academic competition with Gilbert. Besides, Anne formed a story club to help her friends improve their imaginations. When she was 16, Anne studied for the entrance exam to Queen’s Academy. Anne worked hard, and saw her hardships not as burdens but as fuel for the future. The following September, Matthew and Marilla said goodbye when Anne settled into Queen’s for the year. Anne, during her studies there, earned a teaching certificate and won a scholarship. But just as Anne’s future seemed to stretch out before her, tragedy struck. On Anne’s second morning at home, Matthew suddenly died of a heart attack. Soon, Marilla saw a specialist and learnt that unless she took measures to preserve her eyesight, she would be blind within six months. The quiet farm, once sustained by the two siblings, now rests on the weak shoulders of a lonely woman, with no one else to rely on.

(6) (2026届湖南长沙市长郡中学等校高三下学期三模英语) Growing up in Ghana, Kofi was fascinated by Chinese movies like Journey to the West, which sparked his curiosity about Chinese language and culture. Determined to understand more, he enrolled in a Chinese studies program at a top university in Ghana in 2017. The beginning was challenging. The unfamiliar characters, tones, and grammar made him consider quitting after his very first lesson. Fortunately, his Chinese teacher offered consistent encouragement and even invited him to spend a vacation fully engaged in language practice. It was then that he received his Chinese name, Wang Chenggong, meaning “King of Success”. To deepen his cultural understanding, Kofi volunteered at the Confucius Institute, where he learned calligraphy, paper-cutting, and dragon dance. His efforts were recognized with several awards. In 2019, he was elected president of his university’s Chinese Students Association and later won the national Chinese Bridge competition, which earned him a scholarship to study in China. Although the pandemic delayed his plans, he persisted, working as a teaching assistant and volunteer Chinese teacher in Ghana. Finally, in September 2023, Kofi arrived in China. Beyond the language and culture he had long studied, he experienced firsthand the realities of Chinese-style modernization: efficient high-speed railways, mobile payment systems, and AI-enabled services. What struck him most was the sense of safety — leaving his laptop in the library or forgetting his diary on the subway never led to loss, thanks to the honest and systemic social order. Reflecting on his journey, Kofi often says, “Wo de ren sheng yin zhong wen er mei li” — “My life is beautiful because of Chinese.” From movie-inspired curiosity to life-changing cross-cultural immersion, his story illustrates how passion and perseverance can bridge continents and create new beginnings. 1. What initially motivated Kofi to learn Chinese? A. A scholarship to study in China. B. Encouragement from his family. C. Awards from the Confucius Institute. D.

The difference is more a matter of the way we feel about what happened — what it says about us. New England was in the middle of a July heat wave, and we were driving from a funeral in Massachusetts back to summer camp in Maine, where I ran a music program and fifteen-year-old Darius was a camper. Twelve years had passed since the accident that had taken the lives of my wife and older son, and Darius and I were finally in a good place. But funerals could still be triggering, and even though my grandfather had made it past a hundred, we’d still been unprepared. The funeral was more stressful than sad. My mother asked me to play a song, so I prepared George Harrison’s “All Things Must Pass.” But I got performance anxiety, messed up the chords, and almost dropped the guitar. We left quickly, wanting to get back to camp for a play that night. On the highway, I realized too late that the car was out of gas. The Corolla ran out of gas and stopped halfway up the road. We discovered a gas station was a little over a mile away. I told Darius to sit in the driver’s seat. When I shouted “Now,” he put the car in neutral (空档) and I pushed. Somehow, impossibly, the car rolled up the hill. I hopped into the passenger seat, and we coasted down the other side. But even after coasting, the car still couldn’t make it to the station. We had to walk the last mile, taking turns carrying the gas can. That day became a legend for Darius: My dad pushed a car up a hill. I knew it was more luck than strength, but he saw me as a hero. When I remember now, I think mostly of our walk back, the two of us passing the can, Darius smiling and calm. His gift has always been empathy, kindness, and a sense of hope. I don’t know what got that car moving, but I know who kept me moving toward the future. 1. Why does the author mention the funeral at the beginning? A. To show the emotional setting. B. To present the travel schedule. C. To reveal the family background. D. To highlight the grandfather’s age. 2. Why did the father push the car uphill? A. To move the car safely. B. To avoid missing the play. C. To test Darius’ driving skills. D. To reach a nearby gas station. 3. What does Darius mainly remember from that day? A. The failure at the funeral. B. His grandfather’s long life. C. His father’s heroic strength. D. Their walk with the gas can. 4. What is the main message of the story? A. Hard work always pays off. B. Family bonds help overcome loss. C. Luck is more important than effort. D. Strength matters more than empathy. (8) (2025届湖北省华师一附中高三下学期五月月考英语) The boat ride from Helsinki’s city center to the island of Pihlajasaari takes only 10 minutes and drops off visitors at beaches for sunbathing. But I had a different mission: to speak to a tree. This was meant to be a healing exercise, one championed by the Finnish biologist Adela Pajunen. Finns, she’d told me, sometimes share their worries aloud to trees or birds. On shore, I spotted a short black alder tree and began to tell the tree my troubles. The leaves rustled (沙沙作响) in response, a sign I interpreted as sympathy. I had come to Finland to see whether I could bring happiness back to America with me. Finland has topped the World Happiness Report for the past eight years, largely due to free education and universal health care. And the Finns also find happiness in more attainable ways, such as their close relationship with nature and visiting the sauna (桑拿) daily. These activities contain similar goals: Stay present and seek a minimalist lifestyle that relies on the earth. I followed their lifestyle — visiting the sauna and taking a relaxing forest walk, and happiness came in waves over the next few days. I was optimistic that I could recreate the happiest moments of this trip back home in New York. How hard could it be, really? As it turned out, happiness was a luxury in America, though I tried hard to live exactly like the Finns. Then one afternoon, I had a breakthrough as I rushed through Central Park and noticed a crowd of people staring at the ground. A cardinal! I stopped to admire the bird’s feather before it flew away. This was a win for staying present. I’d been so stuck trying to find the time and money for happiness that I’d missed the point: Quiet the mind, and find pleasure in small acts and observations — like a cardinal taking flight, or talking to trees — right then and there. As I left the park, I carried out a small but comforting ritual (仪式) I’d developed. I thanked the trees for listening. 1. Why did the author speak to a tree? A. To heal the tree. B. To seek happiness. C. To follow a tradition. D. To appreciate nature. 2. What do we know about the Finnish lifestyle? A. It requires daily sauna visits. B. It values close relationships. C. It is easily adopted elsewhere. D. It focuses on simple pleasures. 3. Why couldn’t the author recreate happy moments back in America? A. She was busy with work. B. It was noisy in New York. C. She forgot to stay present. D. It was expensive to live there. 4. Which of the following best describes the author’s trip to Finland? A. Transformative. B. Challenging. C. Adventurous. D. Unexpected. (9) (2026届广东深圳市高三年级第一次调研考试英语) This summer I came face-to-face with three deep-rooted fears: heights, bears, and ageing. 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. 1. 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. 2. 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. 3. 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. 4. 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. (10) (2025-2026学年湖北宜昌市一中等名校高三下学期4月阶段检测英语) In kindergarten, my teacher handed me child-safe scissors. As I squeezed my fingers into the handles, the paper turned into a mess. She sighed, “Try harder.” What she didn’t know was that I had just begun my lifelong fight against a world built for the right hand. That fight follows me everywhere. Lecture seats with desks on the right twist my body like a knot and leave handwriting that looks like a doctor’s notes. Scissors, zippers, notebooks and even door handles seem to work against us. When I took up guitar in college, my instructor looked at me as if I had done something strange. Apparently, left-handed guitars are “special order” — code for twice the price, half the sympathy. You’d think a few legends would change things. Paul McCartney flipped his bass and changed music forever. Rafael Nadal trained his left hand to become a tennis champion. Even Isaac Newton was left-handed. But no. Despite all these famous lefties, the world still treats us like some kind of oddity. My grandmother, for instance, once tied my left hand behind my back. “Use your right,” she ordered. I tried — and spilled a whole bowl of soup on the floor. She gave up, muttering, “Maybe she’s special.” I think she meant “hopeless.” Science, of course, has my back. Researchers say lefties are more creative and better at problem-solving. It’s no surprise we’re common among artists, musicians, and athletes. When you’ve spent your life wrestling with scissors and doorknobs that don’t fit, a blank page or a tennis racket feels like child’s play. Even so, the daily comedy continues. At restaurants, I’ve developed a sixth sense for table positioning — always to the left of right-handers. People still stare sometimes, but I’ve come to enjoy it. Being left-handed isn’t just about using a different hand — it’s about thinking differently, adapting constantly, and laughing through the chaos. After all, in a right-handed world, being left isn’t wrong — it’s just brilliantly inconvenient. 1. What do we know about the author’s guitar instructor? A. He thought her playing odd. B. He placed a special guitar order. C. He suggested changing her habit. D. He felt sympathy for left-handers. 2. Why does the author mention several celebrities? A. To celebrate influential figures. B. To show fame fails to end bias. C. To inspire disadvantaged groups. D. To prove ability earns recognition. 3. What strength do left-handers possess according to researchers? A. Natural talent for children’s games. B. Smooth adaptation to surroundings. C. Good command of regularly-used tools. D. Exceptional competence in solving problems. 4. What is the author’s present attitude towards being left-handed? A. Proud and casual. B. Relieved and optimistic. C. Confused and hesitant. D. Resigned and unconcerned. (11) (2025-2026学年浙江省杭州学军中学高三上学期10月月考英语) At first sight, Easthope doesn’t seem much like a Cassandra. She smiles a lot. Her manner is kind and motherly; pushed to name her profession, you might guess at nurse or teacher. But look closer. Easthope is an emergency planner whose job is to support the survivors of major disasters, in which capacity she acted following the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami and the fire at Grenfell Tower. For two decades, the public knew nothing about this vital work, which went on behind the scenes, though she was hugely admired in what we might call professional disaster circles: a voice of calm and a fountain of wisdom. But in 2023, she published a best-selling book about her career, When the Dust Settles, and that changed. People became very interested in what she did. “At literary festivals, most authors get questions about their writing process,” Easthope says. “But I wouldn’t get those. What people wanted from me was to know how I lived with the knowledge that I have. Wasn’t I afraid? How did I handle? I would tell them that I didn’t live afraid, and I would give them basic advice. But this wasn’t enough.” In the end, she felt she had no choice but to write a second book, one in which she would try to distill (浓缩) all that she has learned for the benefit of each individual. While her publisher describes Come What May as a road map for resilience (韧性), the word is one Easthope dislikes. Ready, she suggests, is a better one. Easthope also reminds people that small things, like losing hair during illness or consuming too much food after someone dies, still matter. She encourages people to remember, not to forget, what happened during disasters, because such events leave a long-lasting effect. 1. What might a Cassandra be like according to paragraph 1? A. Severe and forbidding. B. Competent and cautious. C. Friendly and energetic. D. Cheerful and approachable. 2. What led to increased public awareness of Easthope’s work in 2023? A. The publication of a best seller. B. The growth of professional disaster circles. C. Her involvement in 2004 tsunami relief. D. Her sudden rise to fame through media. 3. Why are readers’ questions cited in paragraph 3? A. To reveal Easthope’s personal fears. B. To explain Easthope’s writing process. C. To show Easthope’s writing motivation. D. To present public doubts about Easthope’s work. 4. What does Easthope agree on handling disasters? A. Resilience matters most. B. Forgetting aids recovery. C. Positive thinking takes the lead. D. Minor sufferings deserve attention. (12) (2025-2026学年浙江省杭州第二中学高三上学期12月月考英语) The excitement was undeniable as my friends and I began our seven-day trip to Kashmir. For four days, everything was perfect. On the fifth day, we were playing in the snow when the wind suddenly picked up. I had wandered away from the group, and before I knew it, the sound of laughter faded. I was alone, surrounded by a frightening silence and a blinding white blur. My phone had no signal. Trapped in a frozen maze, fear closed in. Then, through the swirling snow, I saw a figure walking steadily toward me. I wanted to call out, but hesitated, unsure of whether to trust a stranger. But as he drew closer, his calm gaze and quiet presence sparked a flicker of hope. “Are you alright?” he asked softly, his voice warm despite the cold. “I’m lost,” I admitted, my voice trembling. “I can’t find my friends, and there’s no signal on my phone.” He nodded knowingly. “The storm makes it hard to see. You’re lucky I found you.” “How do I get back?” I asked, my voice shaky. “Follow me,” he said simply. “I know this area well.” We walked for what felt like hours. Suddenly, I saw the faint outline of people in the distance. Relief washed over me like a tidal wave as I realized it was my group. I hugged them tightly and told them about my helper but when I looked back to thank him once more, he was nowhere to be found. For a moment I wondered if I had imagined the whole thing. I never saw the man again but that brief encounter taught me something precious: in our darkest moments of being lost and scared, it’s not just who you know, but the unexpected kindness of a stranger who shows up that matters most. 1.

I was something of a football player, but I had never been a good player, far less a great one. I played for the mere physical joy that I got out of the game, but I played with a will, and put my whole heart into the game. The result was that, though I had plenty of energy and enthusiasm, I was never picked for my college team. Let me confess frankly that this was only because there was another player in the same position who happened to be much better than me. I considered myself the better sportsman, but he was certainly the greater player. So I never grumbled or complained. I was content to wait and bide my time. And at last my patience was rewarded. It was for me a very special day. Our team had shot up into the final and was meeting its rival (竞争对手). Our star-player sent word at the last moment that he was ill and he could not take the field. Imagine the astonishment in the college camp! The thought was that the game was as good as lost, and so also, I confess, did I for this player was our trump card (王牌): That is what everybody always said. However, something had to be done, and that something had to be myself! The captain called me up almost apologetically for having failed to recognize my greatness before, and — there I was, on the playground, greeted by the cheers of my friends, and a few jeers from those who had little faith in my prowess. I can tell you that I played like a demon (技艺出众的人). I was here, there and everywhere — now leading the attack, now falling back to help the defense. It was indeed a thrilling moment in my life. For a time, I was the center of all attention, the object of universal applause, and “the observed of all observers”. And, believe it or not, it was I who put in the winning goal. It marked the top of a glorious day. Even now I look back on the episode with unmixed pleasure and satisfaction. 1. What can you learn about the author from the first two paragraphs? A.

(14) (2026届浙江杭州市杭州第二中学高三3月考试英语) Back in 2003, Erica Hernandez was just a kid helping 20 adults take care of the beach. They overheard a plan to build a processing station for natural gas 14 miles off the coast of Oxnard. The plant would send over 200 tons of air pollution per year to Erica’s community. Not only that, the station would take in millions of gallons of seawater per day to cool its generators, and discharge the water more than 15 degrees centigrade hotter than the surrounding ocean. This hot wastewater would cause serious harm to the surrounding ecosystem, killing tiny creatures and small fish critical to the survival of marine mammals and fisheries. Erica cared too much to stay silent. She joined her friends in weekly protests at the office of the natural gas company. Prospects of stopping the project did not look good. The governor was in favor of it, and so were the powerful state commissions that would have to approve it. “The word on the street was that there was nothing we could do.” Behind the scenes, however, opposition was growing, so Erica became the spokesperson for the youth of the town. She regularly walked her neighborhood along the route of the proposed pipeline, using a hula hoop to show people the size of the pipe that would pass by their houses. She talked to the media, and stories about the dangers of the proposed facility began appearing in the press. “We made thousands of phone calls and sent thousands of postcards telling the governor why this facility was a bad idea.” In July 2007, the governor made an unexpected move: He turned down the project. Erica and her friends won! As only the second person in her family to go to college, Erica wants to become an environmental lawyer so she can fight for the environment and for the rights of communities. She wants other young people to speak out when they see something wrong, even if they feel shy about it at first. She likes to quote the words of her role model, César Chávez: “We are the future. The future is ours.” 1. What can be learned about the to-be-built processing station? A. It is climate-damaging. B. It is ecologically-unfriendly. C. It provides energy to the locals. D.
