2026届高三英语各地模考或重点中学（联考）阅读专项训练二十一（B篇）及答案详解 学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________ 一.（25-26高三下·湖北宜昌·月考）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. 二.（2026·海南·二模）In the year 2075, humanity’s dream of living beyond Earth had become a reality. The Mars Colony, established two decades earlier, was now home to over 50,000 people. Among them was 16-year-old Lila, who had never set foot on Earth but often listened to her mother’s stories about the blue planet. Life on Mars was both fascinating and challenging. The colony was surrounded by a giant glass dome to protect residents from the thin atmosphere and extreme temperatures. Inside, artificial gravity kept everyone from floating away, and air purifiers worked 24/7 to turn the carbon-dioxide-rich air into breathable oxygen. “We’re lucky to have these technologies,” Lila’s mother often said. “When I first arrived, the water recycling system wasn’t as efficient, and we had to ration water strictly.” One evening, Lila asked her mother, “Why do people still talk about Earth so much? Isn’t Mars our home now?” Her mother smiled sadly and replied, “Earth was once a beautiful place with green forests, blue oceans, and countless species. But pollution, climate change, and wars destroyed much of it. Now, scientists are working on an ‘Ecological Rehabilitation Project’ to bring back its natural beauty. Maybe one day, you’ll get to see it.” Lila looked at the hologram of Earth on her desk — a planet covered in gray cities and dry deserts, but with small patches of green where the rehabilitation project was working. She wondered if Earth could ever be as vibrant as the old photos her mother showed her. “Don’t lose hope,” her mother said, placing a hand on her shoulder. “Science fiction once imagined life on Mars; now it’s our reality. Who knows what future we can create for Earth?” 5．What is the main function of the giant glass dome around the Mars Colony? A．To generate artificial gravity. B．To recycle water for daily use. C．To protect people from the harsh environment. D．To maintain a warm temperature inside the colony. 6．Why does Lila’s mother mention the “Ecological Rehabilitation Project”? A．She intends to explain why Mars is a better home than Earth. B．She aims to illustrate that imaginary things can turn into reality. C．She hopes to describe the problems on Earth, like pollution. D．She conveys her hope that the Earth might regain its vitality. 7．What does the underlined word “vibrant” in paragraph 4 mean? A．Lively. B．Various. C．Boring. D．Polluted. 8．What is the main idea of the passage? A．Life on Mars is perfect with advanced technology. B．Earth has become uninhabitable due to human mistakes. C．Fictional works fuel real-life innovations and environmental efforts. D．Teenagers in the Mars Colony don’t care about Earth’s problems. 三.（2026·陕西西安·一模）On a sunny morning in a small courtyard at Walt Whitman Middle School, a 14-year-old with a purple buzz cut held a plump chicken gently in her arms. “Her name is Betsy,” Maicy Nealy, an eighth-grader, said. Nealy used to be afraid of chickens as a young child. Now she spends hours after school collecting their eggs and cleaning the coop (鸡舍) for the school’s five hens. And though she says she is never an outdoorsy type, she feeds them their worm meals as well. For her, the chickens provide structure after school and make her very interested in agriculture. Now she can’t imagine adulthood without chickens involved. She says when she grows up, she plans to be “a lawyer that owns chickens”. The chicken program at Whitman started about a year ago, when after-school program specialist Lee Maguire planned a month-long embryo (胚胎) development program for kids to learn about biology. Throughout the school year, they’ve observed students gaining not only companionship from the animals but some life skills. The students replenish the feed supply — which costs about $25 for 50 pounds — with money from selling some of the eggs the chickens produce at $5 to $10 a dozen, making the project self-sustaining. “Egg prices soared, making it a great deal,” said Maguire, “and it teaches sustainability.” The chickens’ calming presence on campus is an advantage of the program that the school’s social workers and counselors (辅导员) quickly picked up on as well. They sometimes accompany struggling students outside to the coop to help them calm down or sort through their feelings. “It’s a moment that they don’t have to think about housing insecurity, food insecurity, whether their parents are going to get deployed, or how they’re going to have to improve their grades because they’re struggling,” he said. “The chickens don’t judge. They just love them. It’s a peaceful escape.” As school ends, students head home to prepare for high school, while the chickens stay with Maguire for the summer. But first, he has a surprise he’s going to let the kids in on soon. “I bought more baby chicks,” he said. “I got them eight more and I’m looking forward to boosting my students’ learning interest further.” 9．What can be learned from the story of Maicy Nealy? A．Her career choices through animal care. B．Her professional farming skill development. C．Her transformation from fear to lifelong passion. D．Her strong companionship with outdoor animals. 10．Why did Maguire introduce the chicken program at first? A．To improve students’ teamwork skills in class. B．To help students deal with employment problems. C．To create a sustainable food source for the school. D．To provide hands-on science learning experiences. 11．What impressed the school counselors about the program? A．Its potential to generate school income. B．Its healing value for troubled students. C．Its improvement in academic performance. D．Its popularity among small animal lovers. 12．What does the arrival of the new chicks symbolize? A．The program’s financial success. B．The necessity of animal care. C．The advanced feeding techniques. D．The new round of learning experience. 四.（2026·湖北·二模）At a party I encountered a museum director, who would soon be leaving on an African safari (观兽旅行). Feeling fascinated, my partner Hugh and I enthusiastically booked one, the sort where you shoot wildlife with a camera rather than a gun. A month later at Maasai Mara, a 583-square-mile nature reserve, we were in a vehicle surrounded by seven lions, none of which seemed to care about us. On the drive to our camp, we saw every animal that was in The Lion King. But a herd of eight elephants eating grass stole the show. Despite their impressive size, what surprised me, and was so magnificent, was the sound of the tall grass being torn with their trunks. I closed my eyes to listen, imagining creating a best-selling perfume that would smell the way grass being ripped from the ground by elephants. The world can be a wild place, but that’s not the lesson you want to carry home with you. Yes, we humans are cruel and often dangerous, but there’s still nature, and before it’s too late we need to appreciate it. Admittedly, not everyone can hang out with elephants, but look at that bird landing on your feeder, and at that squirrel chasing the bird away from the feeder. Look at the rats slipping before you on a city street, at the spider that somehow got smashed in your elevator. We’re all on a safari of one kind or another — it’s just that some of us aren’t returning with two brilliant souvenirs of Maasai and a bacteria infection. 13．What can we learn about the safari the author booked? A．It involved photographing wild animals. B．It was recommended by the museum director. C．It required the author to carry a gun for safety. D．It was a last-minute booking due to excitement. 14．What can be inferred from paragraph 2? A．Lions were the most impressive animals they saw. B．They spotted a great variety of classic wild animals. C．The author recommended the movie The Lion King. D．Maasai Mara was the filming location of The Lion King. 15．What does the underlined phrase “stole the show” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A．Failed to meet expectations. B．Caused a sudden disturbance. C．Created a dangerous situation. D．Became the most attractive part. 16．What is the author’s main purpose of writing the text? A．To call for timely appreciation of nature. B．To share an unforgettable safari experience. C．To remind readers of the cruelty of humans. D．To describe the beauty of wildlife in Africa. 五.（2026·四川凉山·二模）Caring 17-year-old Lauren Schroeder was inspired to help bring healthy food to needy families in her community. Volunteering at a food shelter when she was 14, and tasked with helping fill boxes for households in need with canned and packaged food, this Iowa teen felt that something was missing from the donated groceries: fresh vegetables. So she shared with her parents her desire to start a garden on part of their family farm in Dixon, Iowa, to supply local families in need with fresh produce. Coming from a farming family, Lauren had some familiarity with agriculture and had helped raise rabbits and lambs, but had never tried vegetable cultivation at scale, though the Schroeders plant soybeans and corn each year on their 150-acre farm. The work involved in realizing Lauren’s plan was no walk in the park. Initially, while proud of her daughter’s vision, her mother, Katie Schroeder, admitted having some concern about the work involved: “I was wondering,‘Oh my gosh, how much work is this going to be?’ I wasn’t sure whether this would work.” This was one young change-maker, however! Lauren researched plants online, checking which species needed more shade, how much water was required, and when to harvest each crop. During Iowa’s hot summers, she had to water her crops by hand for around 2 to 3 hours daily. She also checked daily for weeds and bent down to pick her green bean crop. Thanks to her diligence, Lauren planted half an acre of land, with 15 varieties of vegetables in 2022, harvesting and weighing her first crops, with a first batch of 18 kilograms. In an interview with a local media channel, Lauren says, “I wanted to have something that’d impact people. I want to impact community members. Many people help you out, but it makes more of a difference when you help others out. That’s what makes me happiest.” 17．Why did Lauren start her own garden? A．Because of her family’s long tradition of farming. B．Because of the lack of fresh produce in donated food boxes. C．Because of a local media interview about community service. D．Because of her experience of raising rabbits and lambs on the farm. 18．What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A．The doubts Lauren’s mother had about the garden. B．The reasons why Lauren chose 15 varieties of vegetables. C．The challenges Lauren faced in harvesting crops. D．The efforts Lauren made to bring her idea to life. 19．What can be inferred about Lauren from the passage? A．She plans to major in agriculture in college. B．She relied heavily on her parents for farming advice. C．She is hardworking and committed to helping others. D．She started the garden mainly to gain online recognition. 20．What is the best title for the passage? A．A Teen’s Garden: Growing Hope for the Needy B．The Importance of Fresh Vegetables in Food Banks C．How to Start a Vegetable Garden on a Farm D．Family Support: Key to a Young Girl’s Dream 六.（25-26高三下·湖南长沙·月考）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. 21．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. 22．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. 23．Which is closest in meaning to “spawned” in paragraph 5? A．Hidden. B．Weakened. C．Shadowed. D．Created. 24．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 试卷第1页，共3页 试卷第1页，共3页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 《2026届高三英语各地模考或重点中学（联考）阅读专项训练二十一（B篇）及答案详解》参考答案 题号 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 答案 A B D B C D A C C D 题号 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 答案 B D A B D A B D C A 题号 21 22 23 24 答案 A B D C 一.1．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.

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。 答案第1页，共2页 答案第1页，共2页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
