专题02 阅读理解之记叙文&新闻报道 主题01 人与自我——家庭回忆；文化认同；自我重建；职业使命 Passage 1 (2026·高三·湖南怀化·二模) At the age of 66, I am often filled with sweet memories of my childhood, during which I led a life full of happiness and gratitude. In the 1960s, my family belonged to ordinary working-class families. After finishing military service, my father worked faithfully in a factory, while my mother stayed at home to care for my brother and me and took occasional part-time jobs when we grew older. Though our family lived on a tight budget and could never afford fancy luxuries, my parents still managed to cover basic living expenses, so they hardly had extra money for entertainment outside. The only yearly luxury they prepared was a one-week holiday in Blackpool in summer, when most factories stopped running to maintain machines. Having saved money carefully all year long, my mother booked the seaside flats right after Christmas every year, which became our best expectation. To the young me, taking a steam train to travel far was a rare adventure at that time, for I seldom had the chance to take a steam train to a faraway place in those days. We followed fixed routines every year: Buying sweet strawberries served with sugar and milk in local markets and enjoying wonderful theatrical shows that greatly relieved my parents from endless daily tiredness. Funny performances by famous comedians always brought loud laughter and even tears of joy to my tired mother. Small warm scenes, including tasty snacks, street sounds and my parents’ graceful dancing in halls, impressed me deeply. Even when they could enjoy foreign tours later, they still thought Blackpool was unmatched. When I revisited it forty years later, old buildings looked shabby yet familiar memories flooded my mind instantly. I finally understand that those seven days of joy offered lasting warmth to my hard-working parents, and sincere family love as well as timeless feelings will never fade away as time goes by. 1．What kind of life did the author’s family live in the 1960s? A．Simple. B．Relaxing. C．Hopeless. D．Busy. 2．How did the author find the journey to Blackpool? A．It was flat. B．It was tiring. C．It was exciting. D．It was dangerous. 3．What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A．The author’s parents’ daily life. B．The beautiful views of Blackpool. C．The family’s holiday experiences. D．The author’s childhood development. 4．What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A．To describe a seaside holiday. B．To recall the family memories. C．To show the changes of Blackpool. D．To highlight the benefits of tourism. Passage 2 (2025-2026·高三·湖南长郡名校联盟·二模) 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. Passage 3 (2026·高三·湖南长郡中学·二模) 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. Passage 4 (2026·高三·湖南长沙名校联盟·二模) For more than thirty years, Vickie Hardin Woods organized streets, balanced budgets, and turned complicated plans into workable maps. When she retired at 61, she feared the hard-earned identity of “city planner” would disappear the moment she stepped away from her office and co-workers. What would she be without deadlines and department meetings? However, she did not remain in fear, but sought renewal in action. Her choice was unexpected for someone diagnosed with mild memory loss the year before: She would bake one pie and give it away every day for a year. She needed to prove she was still mentally capable. Using fruit from local markets, she filled her kitchen with the smell of cinnamon and warm butter. Measuring flour, folding dough (面团), and timing the oven became her quiet proof that her mind was still sharp. After making full preparations, she boarded a plane to California and baked a lemon pie in her brother’s kitchen. It was for her 88-year-old aunt, who had once taken her in during a painful chapter of her youth. “The perfect first pie,” she later said. Soon peach pies were delivered to old classmates, chocolate cream pies to a niece with newborn twins, and apple pies to former co-workers. Once, she even handed a pie to a homeless man outside a mall, which he shared with his friends, laughing in disbelief. Word spread quickly. Strangers began greeting her as “the pie lady”. Some recipients whispered, “How did you know I need this today?” In those moments, she discovered something sweeter than dessert: connection. Just as city planning had once brought order to chaos, baking did the same. Twelve years later, she still creates — writing daily letters, painting the changing sky, teaching her grandchildren to roll dough. Through flour and fruit, she learned a lasting truth: Identity is not a title but the courage to keep creating, giving, and beginning again. 1． What initially troubled Woods about retirement? A．Identity loss. B．Economic uncertainty. C．Work-life imbalance. D．Social disconnection. 2． Why did Woods choose to bake pies? A．To relieve her physical pain. B．To reach her extended family. C．To confirm her mental ability. D．To earn community recognition. 3． What effect did giving away pies have on Woods? A．It connected her with charity. B．It strengthened her social ties. C．It enhanced her public reputation. D．It secured her financial stability. 4． What message does Woods’ story deliver? A．Love makes the world warmer. B．Action helps rebuild self-worth. C．Hard work leads to good luck. D．It’s never too late to pursue a dream. 主题02 人与社会——文化传承 Passage 1 (2026·高三·湖南张家界·二模) When Wang Yue quit her well-paid job in a Shanghai design company in 2021, her family and friends were all shocked. The 28-year-old young woman decided to go back to her hometown, a small village in Shanxi Province, to learn and inherit paper-cutting, a traditional Chinese folk art with a history of over 1500 years. Wang Yue’s grandma was a well-known paper-cutting artist in the village. When she was a little girl, she would sit beside grandma for hours, watching her turn a piece of red paper into vivid pictures of flowers, animals and folk stories with a pair of scissors. However, as she grew up, she found fewer and fewer young people were interested in this old art. Most of the paper-cutting artists were elderly people, and the skills were at risk of dying out. After quitting her job, Wang Yue spent two years learning the basic skills from her grandma and other old artists in the village. She not only mastered the traditional skills, but also brought her modern design ideas into the art. She created paper-cutting works with new themes, such as aerospace heroes, winter sports and rural revitalization. She also made paper-cutting into stickers, bookmarks and lamp decorations, which were popular among young people. In 2023, Wang Yue opened an online shop to sell her paper-cutting products. To her surprise, her works were very popular, with monthly sales of over 10,000 yuan. She also set up a free paper-cutting training class in the village, teaching over 50 left-behind women and young people the skills. “Paper-cutting is not just an old art. It carries the culture and memory of our nation,” Wang Yue said. “I want to make it alive in the modern times, and help more people in my hometown live a better life with this art.” 1．Why did Wang Yue quit her job in Shanghai? A．She was tired of the busy city life. B．She wanted to inherit the paper-cutting art. C．Her grandma asked her to go back home. D．She couldn’t find a good development in the company. 2．What did Wang Yue do to make paper-cutting popular among young people? A．She taught paper-cutting in primary schools. B．She held paper-cutting exhibitions in big cities. C．She added modern elements to the traditional art. D．She invited famous artists to create works together. 3．Which of the following best describes Wang Yue? A．Caring and creative. B．Patient and strict. C．Brave and honest. D．Humorous and hard-working. 4．What is the main idea of the text? A．The history of traditional Chinese paper-cutting. B．A young woman’s effort to revive paper-cutting art. C．The development of folk art in modern China. D．Ways to protect traditional folk arts from dying out. 主题01 人与社会——科技创新；体育精神 Passage 1 (2026·高三·湖南湘潭市一中·二模) For the first time ever, a powerful laser (激光) beam from Earth has reportedly hit a target deep in space. It could be the key to lightning-fast space communication in the future. Imagine trying to aim at something a distance of a strand (股) of hair from a distance of 10km. That’s roughly equivalent to what Chinese researchers have achieved, using a laser in space to target a distant satellite orbiting the Moon. Aerospace engineers of the Beijing-based Academy of Sciences have struck a satellite with an infrared (红外) laser in broad daylight and across a distance of 130,000km. The powerful laser beam hit a reflector on Tiandu-1, a Chinese lunar navigation and communications test satellite, which was launched in March 2024: The signal was returned to Earth in less than a second, captured by a telescope in Yunnan in South-Western China. It is the first time ever that engineers have managed to accurately locate and measure a satellite so far away and to do so in daylight, when sunlight usually interferes with measurements. In similar earlier efforts, researchers had been able to collect data for only short periods of time. But by demonstrating that the technology also works in sunlight, the researchers have now shown that the method could enable much more frequent and accurate measurements in space. The method could also be used to revolutionize communications in space. Currently we use radio waves to send messages to places such as Mars, but lasers could send greatly increased quantities of data in the same time. The technology could pave the way for lightning-fast contact with future bases on the Moon — and perhaps one day on Mars. Stable laser links in space can reportedly send data to and from Earth up to 100 times faster than can radio waves, perhaps an important boost to communication with future astronauts on the Moon and Mars. 1．What did the Chinese researchers successfully make the laser beam reach? A．A lunar base under construction. B．A Mars exploration spacecraft. C．A reflective device on a test satellite. D．A ground telescope in Yunnan. 2．What makes the Chinese engineers’ achievement particularly remarkable? A．Locating a so-distant satellite precisely in daylight. B．Launching a Moon-orbiting satellite 130,000 km away. C．Getting the signal returned to Earth in a second. D．Using an infrared laser for the first time successfully. 3．What can be inferred about radio waves in space communication? A．They are unable to reach Mars from Earth. B．They will soon be replaced by laser technology. C．They have lower data transmission capacity than lasers. D．They are more easily interfered with by sunlight than lasers. 4．Which of the following is the most suitable title for the text? A．A Historic Laser Strike: Targeting the Moon B．Tiandu-1 Satellite: Bridging Earth and the Moon C．Radio Waves: The Future of Space Communication D．China’s Laser: A Leap for Deep-Space Communication Passage 2 (2026·高三·湖南湘潭市一中·二模) In June 2024, Caitlin Clark, America’s beloved college basketball sensation, faced a harsh reality check in her WNBA debut (首秀). Struggling with her shot, her handle, and adapting to a new team, Clark appeared overmatched, unable to bring forth the magic that helped the distance-shooting player achieve fame and glory. Critics quickly spoke out, calling her early performance a disappointment for the No. 1 overall pick. But the struggles didn’t last long. By Sunday, Clark led the Indiana Fever to a decisive 92-75 victory over the Seattle Storm, marking the Fever’s fourth win in five games. This turnaround brought their record to 13-15, surpassing last year’s total and placing them in a strong position for the playoffs. While Kelsey Mitchell and Lexie Hull delivered strong performances, it was Clark’s leadership that powered the team’s comeback. Against Seattle, Clark finished with 23 points, five rebounds and nine assists, but it’s her confidence that leaps out. The former Hawkeye has regained not just her shot, but her charisma (魅力) and control. On the court, almost all of the action is again flowing through her as she creates opportunities for others. Her vision — her ability to find teammates moving quickly up the court — remains impressively precise. By the time the Games came around, even the unofficial queen of women’s basketball, Dawn Staley, acknowledged that Clark’s play had risen to Team USA standard. She argued the country blew a great opportunity by leaving Clark home. Though Paris gold was still won by the U.S., I agree with Staley: a chance to lift the sport was missed. Oh well. Clark will use the rejection for fuel, and Los Angeles 2028 awaits her. Now a candidate for Rookie of the Year, Clark’s comeback has reawakened interest in the WNBA．Fever games are selling out, and the league’s ratings are up. What was once seen as a rough start is now a distant memory — Clark is ready for even greater success. 1．What caused Clark’s poor performance at the start of her WNBA career? A．A stronger opponent. B．Pressure from critics. C．A shift of environment. D．Her decline in fitness. 2．What was the key to the Fever’s win over the Storm? A．Clark’s competence in leading. B．Clark’s adjustments in strategy. C．Fever’s enhancement in teamwork. D．Storm’s turnaround in performance. 3．What is Staley’s attitude to Clark? A．Doubtful. B．Critical. C．Unconcerned. D．Supportive. 4．Which of the following words best describe Clark? A．Adaptable and determined. B．Considerate and resourceful. C．Talented and patient. D．Creative and confident. 主题02 人与自然——生态保护 Passage 1 (2026·高三·湖南张家界·二模) As cities grow larger and more buildings are built, the living space for wild insects is getting smaller and smaller. In recent years, a new eco-friendly idea has been popular around the world: insect hotels. An insect hotel is a man-made structure, usually made of natural materials like wood, bamboo, straw and pine cones, to provide shelter and a living place for wild insects, such as bees, butterflies, ladybugs and beetles. Insects play a very important role in the ecosystem. Bees and butterflies help pollinate (授粉) flowers and crops, which is necessary for the growth of plants. Ladybugs and beetles eat pests that damage plants, reducing the need for chemical pesticides. However, with the loss of natural habitat, the number of wild insects is dropping rapidly around the world. According to a 2025 study, the number of flying insects in urban areas has dropped by 60% in the past 20 years, which has a bad influence on the whole ecosystem. Insect hotels are easy to make and can be placed in gardens, balconies, parks and even on the walls of buildings. They provide a safe place for insects to live, lay eggs and spend the winter. “Many people think insects are harmful or annoying, but most of them are our good friends,” said Li Ming, an ecologist from Beijing Forestry University. “An insect hotel is not just a home for insects. It’s a small ecosystem that helps keep the balance of nature in our cities. It also helps people, especially children, get close to nature and learn to respect every living thing.” In many Chinese cities, such as Shanghai, Chengdu and Hangzhou, insect hotels have been built in community parks and schools. Some schools even hold competitions for students to design and make their own insect hotels. “It’s a great way to teach children about environmental protection in a fun way,” said a primary school teacher in Hangzhou. “When children build an insect hotel, they not only learn about different kinds of insects, but also understand their responsibility to protect nature.” 1．What is an insect hotel according to the text? A．A research center for studying wild insects. B．A man-made structure for insects to live in. C．A museum showing different kinds of insects. D．A protected area for endangered insects. 2．Why are insects important to the ecosystem? A．They can reduce air pollution in cities. B．They help keep the number of pests under control. C．They can prevent the spread of plant diseases. D．They provide food for all wild animals. 3．What does Li Ming think of insect hotels? A．They are only suitable for rural areas. B．They can replace natural habitats for insects. C．They are good for both nature and people. D．They don’t need special care after being built. 4．What is the last paragraph mainly about? A．The popularity of insect hotels in Chinese cities. B．How to make an insect hotel with natural materials. C．The influence of insect hotels on children’s study. D．Ways to protect wild insects in urban areas. 主题03 人与自我——兴趣驱动；家国情怀；乐观心态 Passage 1 (2026·高三·湖南常德·二模) Heidy Martinez never dreamt of studying sharks. That changed during a study abroad trip in South Africa in college. She went cage diving with classmates — viewing sharks underwater while inside a protective cage. Martinez was mostly there for the excitement. The boat ride was proving to be uncomfortable. Martinez’s wetsuit didn’t fit. Everyone was feeling seasick. When she entered the ocean, a woman beside her said she felt ill. “All of a sudden, she brings up,” Martinez recalls. “Then a wave comes, so all she pukes (呕吐) just lands on me.” At that moment, a white shark approached the cage. To see the shark, Martinez immediately dived, puke and all. But the sight was worth it. Movies usually show these sharks as bloody hunters. But this white shark looked entirely different. “I was shocked at how beautiful the shark was,” she says. “That was a critical moment in my career.” Today, Martinez is a freelance shark researcher. When she decided to switch careers in her mid-20s, she felt scared. Her family had left Colombia when she was 6 so she could have a better future. She worried her parents would think everything she’d done was a waste. But her dad actually got teary-eyed when she told them. He explained that he had wanted to study marine biology, too. “It felt like this full-circle moment,” she says. “My dad left everything behind so I could do what I love.” Martinez’s degrees are in anthropology and psychology, not marine biology. But these backgrounds have shaped her as a scientist. Anthropology allows her to consider cultural differences. Psychology helps her understand how people receive information. For example, clam (蛤蜊) divers in the Gulf of Mexico have lost their lives to shark encounters. Their reaction is to hate sharks. Many scientists try to lecture the fishermen about how sharks don’t regularly attack divers. But studying psychology taught Martinez that if you want people to listen to you, you have to listen to them first. 1．What happened to Martinez during her study trip in South Africa ? A．Someone threw up on her. B．She was attacked by a shark. C．She felt too sick to enjoy the trip. D．Her wetsuit was torn by a wave. 2．What can we infer from Martinez’s father’s reaction ? A．He regretted not leaving Colombia. B．He was worried about her wasting time. C．He was deeply touched by her decision. D．He felt sorry for his own unrealized dream. 3．Why does the author mention clam divers in Paragraph 5? A．To stress the importance of degrees. B．To explain why fishermen fear sharks. C．To prove that sharks regularly attack divers. D．To show the effect of interdisciplinary knowledge. 4．What can be concluded from Martinez’s experience? A．Listening is a scientific research method. B．Efforts should be made to protect sharks. C．Finding what interests us drives career path. D．Success is closely related to family support. Passage 2 (2026·高三·湖南永州·二模) In a university rehearsal hall, he performs Xinjiang’s eagle dance gracefully, across the globe, he wanders museums and art galleries, seeking the beauty of distant cultures and long-lost histories. This may seem the daily life of an artist, but in reality, it belongs to Dawulijan Yerhalik,a young archaeologist (考古学家) who “converses with the earth” and devotes himself to uncovering Xinjiang’s ancient secrets. Born in Hutubi County, Xinjiang, Dawulijan spent his high school years in Suzhou and studied archaeology at Peking University for a full decade, finally earning his doctoral degree. His career path took clear shape in Professor Lin Meicun’s Silk Road Archaeology class: a slide of Xinjiang’s Kangjia Shimenzi Petroglyphs (岩画) left him astonished by his lack of knowledge about his hometown’s precious heritage. In that very moment, a deep connection to archaeology was established, and he determined to focus on Silk Road and Xinjiang archaeological research. His fieldwork journey started at the Tonggusibaxi Site in Aksu, where he perfected foundational skills like soil texture identification and trowel use under Professor Chen Ling’s careful guidance. He finds excavating sites (发掘遗址) used across multiple historical periods the most complex yet fascinating part of the work, as each layer reveals unique traces of ancient human activity. In 2024, his team made a landmark discovery at the Tangchaodun site — pieces of Chinese-written Buddhist scrolls. It was the first time such items had been found in the northern Tianshan foothills, providing critical material for studying how Buddhist texts spread in the Western Regions. For Dawulijan, Xinjiang is a unique archaeological treasure, and his work is a sacred mission to tell Xinjiang’s rich and vivid stories to the world. 1．The underlined word “converses” in Paragraph 1 probably means ________. A．Cooperates. B．Competes. C．Communicates. D．Compares. 2．How did Dawulijan feel during Professor Lin’s class? A．Impressed. B．Hesitant. C．Uninterested. D．Confident. 3．What does the appeal of multi-period excavation sites lie in? A．Possibility of making landmark discoveries. B．Chance to polish essential archaeological skills. C．Rare cultural relics native to northern Tianshan. D．Unique traces of ancient human activity in each layer. 4．What does Dawulijan’s experience show? A．High-tech skills are key to professional success. B．Awards are the best proof of one’s professional value. C．Love for your roots contributes to a meaningful calling. D．Preserving cultural heritage is everyone’s shared mission. Passage 3 (2026·高三·湖南湘潭·二模) We initiated the bus trips when I was around seven years old. Back then, we lived at our grandparents’ house in Oceanside, California. Our financial situation became increasingly strained after my father, who had dedicated over two decades to serving in the U.S. Air Force, honorably retired and subsequently encountered challenges in securing a stable position in the civilian workforce. We were also struggling to find an affordable place to call our own. It would have been easy to give in to frustration. But mom had other ideas, using the situation to give my brother Jess and me fond memories that would affect our perspective forever. However, I only appreciated the full extent of her wisdom many years later. Once or twice a week, she would lead us to the bus stop, and from there we would “see the world”. The public transportation system was extensive, and with one ticket we could ride all day. My mom studied the routes carefully and guided us to a variety of destinations. Among our favorites was the mall in Carlsbad. At its center stood a glass clock tower with gears (齿轮) that rolled plastic balls along rails, bouncing them onto drums and ramps, then lifting them up again to repeat the cycle. The sight always drew a small crowd, mostly children. On other days, we took the bus to Strand Beach, where we watched ships in the distance and heard helicopters and aircraft soaring overhead toward the naval (海军的) base at Camp Pendleton. Every trip we took felt like a grand expedition, and I was grateful to my mom for making that difficult period so enjoyable. Eventually, my father found a steady job, and we moved into a home in the countryside. My mom did more than distract us from our troubles. She instilled in us enthusiasm for keeping our eyes open and appreciating the world that was ours without having to really pay anything. Most importantly, she showed us that regardless of where we were, and what we were going through, there was something we could smile about somewhere. 1．Why did the family face difficulties? A．The father lost his job in the U.S. Air Force. B．The family had no fixed place of residence. C．They lived far away from the city. D．They lacked financial stability. 2．What was the mother’s primary purpose of the trip? A．To build a positive attitude to the world. B．To promote her husband at the naval base. C．To find a new home in the countryside. D．To explore job opportunities in Carlsbad. 3．What does the author most appreciate about his mom now? A．Her knowledge of public transportation. B．Her skill in planning detailed travel routes. C．Her wisdom in shaping their outlook on life. D．Her patience during their financial struggles. 4．Which word best describes the mother? A．Ambitious. B．Resourceful. C．Adventurous. D．Protective. 1 / 1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 专题02 阅读理解之记叙文&新闻报道 主题01 人与自我——家庭回忆；文化认同；自我重建；职业使命 Passage 1 (2026·高三·湖南怀化·二模) At the age of 66, I am often filled with sweet memories of my childhood, during which I led a life full of happiness and gratitude. In the 1960s, my family belonged to ordinary working-class families. After finishing military service, my father worked faithfully in a factory, while my mother stayed at home to care for my brother and me and took occasional part-time jobs when we grew older. Though our family lived on a tight budget and could never afford fancy luxuries, my parents still managed to cover basic living expenses, so they hardly had extra money for entertainment outside. The only yearly luxury they prepared was a one-week holiday in Blackpool in summer, when most factories stopped running to maintain machines. Having saved money carefully all year long, my mother booked the seaside flats right after Christmas every year, which became our best expectation. To the young me, taking a steam train to travel far was a rare adventure at that time, for I seldom had the chance to take a steam train to a faraway place in those days. We followed fixed routines every year: Buying sweet strawberries served with sugar and milk in local markets and enjoying wonderful theatrical shows that greatly relieved my parents from endless daily tiredness. Funny performances by famous comedians always brought loud laughter and even tears of joy to my tired mother. Small warm scenes, including tasty snacks, street sounds and my parents’ graceful dancing in halls, impressed me deeply. Even when they could enjoy foreign tours later, they still thought Blackpool was unmatched. When I revisited it forty years later, old buildings looked shabby yet familiar memories flooded my mind instantly.

Though our family lived on a tight budget and could never afford fancy luxuries, my parents still managed to cover basic living expenses, so they hardly had extra money for entertainment outside.(20 世纪 60 年代，我的家庭属于普通的工薪阶层。父亲服完兵役后，一直在一家工厂勤恳工作；母亲则留在家中照顾我和哥哥，等我们长大一些后，她才偶尔做些兼职。尽管家里经济拮据，从买不起精致昂贵的奢侈品，但父母依旧能维持基本的生活开销，因此他们几乎没有多余的钱用于外出娱乐)”可知，作者一家在20世纪60年代过着简单的生活。 2．推理判断题。根据第二段“To the young me, taking a steam train to travel far was a rare adventure at that time, for I seldom had the chance to take a steam train to a faraway place in those days.(对年幼的我来说，那时坐蒸汽火车远行是一次难得的冒险，因为那些日子我很少有机会坐蒸汽火车去遥远的地方)”可知，作者觉得去布莱克浦的旅程是令人兴奋的。 3．主旨大意题。根据第三段“We followed fixed routines every year: Buying sweet strawberries served with sugar and milk in local markets and enjoying wonderful theatrical shows that greatly relieved my parents from endless daily tiredness. Funny performances by famous comedians always brought loud laughter and even tears of joy to my tired mother. Small warm scenes, including tasty snacks, street sounds and my parents’ graceful dancing in halls, impressed me deeply. Even when they could enjoy foreign tours later, they still thought Blackpool was unmatched.(我们每年都过着一成不变的日常：去当地集市买清甜的草莓，蘸着糖和牛奶品尝；观看精彩的戏剧表演，这些消遣能极大地缓解父母日复一日的辛劳。知名喜剧演员诙谐的表演总能引得众人开怀大笑，也让疲惫的母亲喜极而泣。街边美味的小吃、市井的喧闹、父母在舞厅里悠然起舞的温馨小片段，都深深烙印在我的记忆里。即便后来他们有机会出国旅行，依旧认为布莱克浦是无可替代的)”可知，该段主要讲述了作者一家在布莱克浦的假期经历。 4．目的意图题。根据第一段“At the age of 66, I am often filled with sweet memories of my childhood, during which I led a life full of happiness and gratitude.(66岁的我，常常充满了对童年的美好回忆，在童年时光里，我的生活充满了幸福和感恩)”以及全文内容可知，作者写这篇文章的目的是回忆家庭记忆。 Passage 2 (2025-2026·高三·湖南长郡名校联盟·二模) 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 【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。 Passage 3 (2026·高三·湖南长郡中学·二模) 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?

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 【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.

(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。 Passage 4 (2026·高三·湖南长沙名校联盟·二模) For more than thirty years, Vickie Hardin Woods organized streets, balanced budgets, and turned complicated plans into workable maps. When she retired at 61, she feared the hard-earned identity of “city planner” would disappear the moment she stepped away from her office and co-workers. What would she be without deadlines and department meetings? However, she did not remain in fear, but sought renewal in action. Her choice was unexpected for someone diagnosed with mild memory loss the year before: She would bake one pie and give it away every day for a year. She needed to prove she was still mentally capable. Using fruit from local markets, she filled her kitchen with the smell of cinnamon and warm butter. Measuring flour, folding dough (面团), and timing the oven became her quiet proof that her mind was still sharp. After making full preparations, she boarded a plane to California and baked a lemon pie in her brother’s kitchen. It was for her 88-year-old aunt, who had once taken her in during a painful chapter of her youth. “The perfect first pie,” she later said. Soon peach pies were delivered to old classmates, chocolate cream pies to a niece with newborn twins, and apple pies to former co-workers. Once, she even handed a pie to a homeless man outside a mall, which he shared with his friends, laughing in disbelief. Word spread quickly. Strangers began greeting her as “the pie lady”. Some recipients whispered, “How did you know I need this today?” In those moments, she discovered something sweeter than dessert: connection. Just as city planning had once brought order to chaos, baking did the same. Twelve years later, she still creates — writing daily letters, painting the changing sky, teaching her grandchildren to roll dough. Through flour and fruit, she learned a lasting truth: Identity is not a title but the courage to keep creating, giving, and beginning again. 1． What initially troubled Woods about retirement? A．Identity loss. B．Economic uncertainty. C．Work-life imbalance. D．Social disconnection. 2． Why did Woods choose to bake pies? A．To relieve her physical pain. B．To reach her extended family. C．To confirm her mental ability. D．To earn community recognition. 3． What effect did giving away pies have on Woods? A．It connected her with charity. B．It strengthened her social ties. C．It enhanced her public reputation. D．It secured her financial stability. 4． What message does Woods’ story deliver? A．Love makes the world warmer. B．Action helps rebuild self-worth. C．Hard work leads to good luck. D．It’s never too late to pursue a dream. 【答案】1．A 2．C 3．B 4．B 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了退休城市规划师伍兹通过每日烤馅饼送人，重建自我价值与社会联系的故事。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段中“When she retired at 61, she feared the hard-earned identity of “city planner” would disappear the moment she stepped away from her office and co-workers.(当她61岁退休时，她担心自己辛苦得来的“城市规划师”身份会在离开办公室和同事的那一刻消失。)”可知，退休让伍兹最初困扰的是身份的丧失。故选A。 2．细节理解题。根据第二段中“She needed to prove she was still mentally capable.(她需要证明自己仍然有精神上的能力。)”以及“Measuring flour, folding dough (面团), and timing the oven became her quiet proof that her mind was still sharp.(称量面粉、揉制面团、把控烤箱时长，这一件件日常小事，默默印证着她的头脑依旧敏锐清醒。)”可知，伍兹选择烤馅饼是为了确认自己的精神能力。故选C。 3．细节理解题。根据第四段中“Some recipients whispered, “How did you know I need this today?” In those moments, she discovered something sweeter than dessert: connection.(一些接受者低声说：“你怎么知道我今天需要这个？”在那些时刻，她发现了比甜点更甜的东西：联系。)”可知，送馅饼让伍兹加强了她的社会联系。故选B。 4．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Through flour and fruit, she learned a lasting truth: Identity is not a title but the courage to keep creating, giving, and beginning again.(通过面粉和水果，她明白了一个永恒的真理：身份不是一个头衔，而是不断创造、给予和重新开始的勇气。)”可推知，伍兹的故事传达了行动有助于重建自我价值的信息。故选B。 主题02 人与社会——文化传承 Passage 1 (2026·高三·湖南张家界·二模) When Wang Yue quit her well-paid job in a Shanghai design company in 2021, her family and friends were all shocked. The 28-year-old young woman decided to go back to her hometown, a small village in Shanxi Province, to learn and inherit paper-cutting, a traditional Chinese folk art with a history of over 1500 years. Wang Yue’s grandma was a well-known paper-cutting artist in the village. When she was a little girl, she would sit beside grandma for hours, watching her turn a piece of red paper into vivid pictures of flowers, animals and folk stories with a pair of scissors. However, as she grew up, she found fewer and fewer young people were interested in this old art. Most of the paper-cutting artists were elderly people, and the skills were at risk of dying out. After quitting her job, Wang Yue spent two years learning the basic skills from her grandma and other old artists in the village. She not only mastered the traditional skills, but also brought her modern design ideas into the art. She created paper-cutting works with new themes, such as aerospace heroes, winter sports and rural revitalization. She also made paper-cutting into stickers, bookmarks and lamp decorations, which were popular among young people. In 2023, Wang Yue opened an online shop to sell her paper-cutting products. To her surprise, her works were very popular, with monthly sales of over 10,000 yuan. She also set up a free paper-cutting training class in the village, teaching over 50 left-behind women and young people the skills. “Paper-cutting is not just an old art. It carries the culture and memory of our nation,” Wang Yue said. “I want to make it alive in the modern times, and help more people in my hometown live a better life with this art.” 1．Why did Wang Yue quit her job in Shanghai?

It could be the key to lightning-fast space communication in the future. Imagine trying to aim at something a distance of a strand (股) of hair from a distance of 10km. That’s roughly equivalent to what Chinese researchers have achieved, using a laser in space to target a distant satellite orbiting the Moon. Aerospace engineers of the Beijing-based Academy of Sciences have struck a satellite with an infrared (红外) laser in broad daylight and across a distance of 130,000km. The powerful laser beam hit a reflector on Tiandu-1, a Chinese lunar navigation and communications test satellite, which was launched in March 2024: The signal was returned to Earth in less than a second, captured by a telescope in Yunnan in South-Western China. It is the first time ever that engineers have managed to accurately locate and measure a satellite so far away and to do so in daylight, when sunlight usually interferes with measurements. In similar earlier efforts, researchers had been able to collect data for only short periods of time. But by demonstrating that the technology also works in sunlight, the researchers have now shown that the method could enable much more frequent and accurate measurements in space. The method could also be used to revolutionize communications in space. Currently we use radio waves to send messages to places such as Mars, but lasers could send greatly increased quantities of data in the same time. The technology could pave the way for lightning-fast contact with future bases on the Moon — and perhaps one day on Mars. Stable laser links in space can reportedly send data to and from Earth up to 100 times faster than can radio waves, perhaps an important boost to communication with future astronauts on the Moon and Mars. 1．What did the Chinese researchers successfully make the laser beam reach? A．A lunar base under construction. B．A Mars exploration spacecraft. C．A reflective device on a test satellite. D．A ground telescope in Yunnan. 2．What makes the Chinese engineers’ achievement particularly remarkable? A．Locating a so-distant satellite precisely in daylight. B．Launching a Moon-orbiting satellite 130,000 km away. C．Getting the signal returned to Earth in a second. D．Using an infrared laser for the first time successfully. 3．What can be inferred about radio waves in space communication? A．They are unable to reach Mars from Earth. B．They will soon be replaced by laser technology. C．They have lower data transmission capacity than lasers. D．They are more easily interfered with by sunlight than lasers. 4．Which of the following is the most suitable title for the text? A．A Historic Laser Strike: Targeting the Moon B．Tiandu-1 Satellite: Bridging Earth and the Moon C．Radio Waves: The Future of Space Communication D．China’s Laser: A Leap for Deep-Space Communication 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．C 4．D 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了中国研究人员成功用激光束击中月球轨道上的测试卫星上的反射器，展示了激光在太空通信中的巨大潜力。 1．细节理解题。根据第三段中“The powerful laser beam hit a reflector on Tiandu-1, a Chinese lunar navigation and communications test satellite, which was launched in March 2024: The signal was returned to Earth in less than a second, captured by a telescope in Yunnan in South-Western China.(这束强激光精准命中了2024年3月发射的中国月球导航与通信试验卫星“天都一号”上的反射器，信号在不到一秒的时间内传回地球，由中国西南部云南省的一台望远镜捕获。)”可知，中国研究人员成功让激光束到达了测试卫星上的反射装置。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据第四段中“It is the first time ever that engineers have managed to accurately locate and measure a satellite so far away and to do so in daylight, when sunlight usually interferes with measurements.(这是工程师们首次成功在如此远的距离精确地定位和测量一颗卫星，并且是在白天进行的，而通常阳光会干扰测量。)”可知，中国工程师的成就特别显著之处在于在白天精确地定位了如此遥远的卫星。故选A。 3．推理判断题。根据第五段中“Currently we use radio waves to send messages to places such as Mars, but lasers could send greatly increased quantities of data in the same time.(目前我们使用无线电波向火星等地发送信息，但激光可以在相同的时间内发送更多的数据。)”可知，在太空通信中，无线电波的数据传输能力比激光低。故选C。 4．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是根据第一段“For the first time ever, a powerful laser (激光) beam from Earth has reportedly hit a target deep in space. It could be the key to lightning-fast space communication in the future.(据报道，有史以来第一次，来自地球的强大激光束击中了深空的一个目标。这可能是未来闪电般快速太空通信的关键。)”可知，文章主要讲述了中国研究人员成功用激光束击中月球轨道上的测试卫星上的反射器，激光技术推动深空通信发展，中国的激光技术为深空通信带来了飞跃。因此选项D“China’s Laser: A Leap for Deep-Space Communication(中国的激光：深空通信的一大飞跃)”最符合文章主旨。故选D。 Passage 2 (2026·高三·湖南湘潭市一中·二模) In June 2024, Caitlin Clark, America’s beloved college basketball sensation, faced a harsh reality check in her WNBA debut (首秀). Struggling with her shot, her handle, and adapting to a new team, Clark appeared overmatched, unable to bring forth the magic that helped the distance-shooting player achieve fame and glory. Critics quickly spoke out, calling her early performance a disappointment for the No. 1 overall pick. But the struggles didn’t last long. By Sunday, Clark led the Indiana Fever to a decisive 92-75 victory over the Seattle Storm, marking the Fever’s fourth win in five games. This turnaround brought their record to 13-15, surpassing last year’s total and placing them in a strong position for the playoffs. While Kelsey Mitchell and Lexie Hull delivered strong performances, it was Clark’s leadership that powered the team’s comeback. Against Seattle, Clark finished with 23 points, five rebounds and nine assists, but it’s her confidence that leaps out. The former Hawkeye has regained not just her shot, but her charisma (魅力) and control. On the court, almost all of the action is again flowing through her as she creates opportunities for others. Her vision — her ability to find teammates moving quickly up the court — remains impressively precise. By the time the Games came around, even the unofficial queen of women’s basketball, Dawn Staley, acknowledged that Clark’s play had risen to Team USA standard. She argued the country blew a great opportunity by leaving Clark home. Though Paris gold was still won by the U.S., I agree with Staley: a chance to lift the sport was missed. Oh well. Clark will use the rejection for fuel, and Los Angeles 2028 awaits her. Now a candidate for Rookie of the Year, Clark’s comeback has reawakened interest in the WNBA．Fever games are selling out, and the league’s ratings are up. What was once seen as a rough start is now a distant memory — Clark is ready for even greater success. 1．What caused Clark’s poor performance at the start of her WNBA career? A．A stronger opponent. B．Pressure from critics. C．A shift of environment. D．Her decline in fitness. 2．What was the key to the Fever’s win over the Storm? A．Clark’s competence in leading. B．Clark’s adjustments in strategy. C．Fever’s enhancement in teamwork. D．Storm’s turnaround in performance. 3．What is Staley’s attitude to Clark? A．Doubtful. B．Critical. C．Unconcerned. D．Supportive. 4．Which of the following words best describe Clark? A．Adaptable and determined. B．Considerate and resourceful. C．Talented and patient. D．Creative and confident. 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．D 4．A 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了Caitlin Clark在WNBA的首秀遭遇挫折后的逆袭之路。 1．细节理解题。由文章第一段中“In June 2024, Caitlin Clark, America’s beloved college basketball sensation, faced a harsh reality check in her WNBA debut (首秀). Struggling with her shot, her handle, and adapting to a new team, Clark appeared overmatched, unable to bring forth the magic that helped the distance-shooting player achieve fame and glory. (2024年6月，备受美国人喜爱的大学篮球明星Caitlin Clark，在她的WNBA首秀中遭遇了残酷的现实考验。投篮失准、控球不稳，还要努力适应新球队，Clark显得力不从心，无法展现出这位远投高手曾经铸就辉煌的神奇球技。)”可知，她所处环境的转变，导致Clark在WNBA职业生涯开始时表现不佳。故选C。 2．细节理解题。由文章第二段中“But the struggles didn’t last long. By Sunday, Clark led the Indiana Fever to a decisive 92-75 victory over the Seattle Storm, marking the Fever’s fourth win in five games. This turnaround brought their record to 13-15, surpassing last year’s total and placing them in a strong position for the playoffs. While Kelsey Mitchell and Lexie Hull delivered strong performances, it was Clark’s leadership that powered the team’s comeback. (但困境并未持续太久。到了周日，Clark带领Indiana Fever以92比75的悬殊比分战胜Seattle Storm，这是Fever在五场比赛中的第四场胜利。这一逆转使他们的战绩提升至13胜15负，超过了去年的总胜场数，在季后赛席位的争夺中占据了有利位置。虽然Kelsey Mitchell和Lexie Hull表现出色，但正是Clark的领导力推动了球队的逆袭。)”可知，Fever击败Storm的关键是Clark的领导能力。故选A。 3．推理判断题。由文章第三段中“By the time the Games came around, even the unofficial queen of women’s basketball, Dawn Staley, acknowledged that Clark’s play had risen to Team USA standard. She argued the country blew a great opportunity by leaving Clark home. (奥运会来临之际，就连女子篮球界的非官方女王Dawn Staley也承认，Clark的表现已经达到了美国队的标准。她认为，美国队没有征召Clark是错失了一个绝佳机会。)”可知，Staley认为Clark的表现已经达到了美国队的标准，并认为国家错过了让Clark参赛的大好机会。这表明Staley对Clark是支持的。故选D。 4．推理判断题。由文章第一段中“In June 2024, Caitlin Clark, America’s beloved college basketball sensation, faced a harsh reality check in her WNBA debut (首秀). Struggling with her shot, her handle, and adapting to a new team, Clark appeared overmatched, unable to bring forth the magic that helped the distance-shooting player achieve fame and glory. (2024年6月，备受美国人喜爱的大学篮球明星Caitlin Clark，在她的WNBA首秀中遭遇了残酷的现实考验。投篮失准、控球不稳，还要努力适应新球队，Clark显得力不从心，无法展现出这位远投高手曾经铸就辉煌的神奇球技。)”和第二段中“But the struggles didn’t last long. By Sunday, Clark led the Indiana Fever to a decisive 92-75 victory over the Seattle Storm, marking the Fever’s fourth win in five games. This turnaround brought their record to 13-15, surpassing last year’s total and placing them in a strong position for the playoffs. While Kelsey Mitchell and Lexie Hull delivered strong performances, it was Clark’s leadership that powered the team’s comeback. (但困境并未持续太久。到了周日，Clark带领Indiana Fever以92比75的悬殊比分战胜Seattle Storm，这是Fever在五场比赛中的第四场胜利。这一逆转使他们的战绩提升至13胜15负，超过了去年的总胜场数，在季后赛席位的争夺中占据了有利位置。虽然Kelsey Mitchell和Lexie Hull表现出色，但正是Clark的领导力推动了球队的逆袭。)”可知，Clark适应力强。根据倒数第二段中“Clark will use the rejection for fuel, and Los Angeles 2028 awaits her. (不过没关系，克拉克会将这次落选化为前进的动力，2028 年洛杉矶奥运会在等着她。)”和最后一段“Now a candidate for Rookie of the Year, Clark’s comeback has reawakened interest in the WNBA. Fever games are selling out, and the league’s ratings are up. What was once seen as a rough start is now a distant memory — Clark is ready for even greater success. (如今，Clark成为了年度最佳新秀的有力竞争者，她的强势回归重新唤起了人们对WNBA的关注。Fever的比赛门票售罄，联盟的收视率也有所上升。曾经看似艰难的开局如今已成为遥远的回忆——Clark已准备好迎接更大的成功。)”可知，被国家队拒绝后将其作为动力，体现了Clark的坚定。故选A。 主题02 人与自然——生态保护 Passage 1 (2026·高三·湖南张家界·二模) As cities grow larger and more buildings are built, the living space for wild insects is getting smaller and smaller. In recent years, a new eco-friendly idea has been popular around the world: insect hotels. An insect hotel is a man-made structure, usually made of natural materials like wood, bamboo, straw and pine cones, to provide shelter and a living place for wild insects, such as bees, butterflies, ladybugs and beetles. Insects play a very important role in the ecosystem. Bees and butterflies help pollinate (授粉) flowers and crops, which is necessary for the growth of plants. Ladybugs and beetles eat pests that damage plants, reducing the need for chemical pesticides. However, with the loss of natural habitat, the number of wild insects is dropping rapidly around the world. According to a 2025 study, the number of flying insects in urban areas has dropped by 60% in the past 20 years, which has a bad influence on the whole ecosystem. Insect hotels are easy to make and can be placed in gardens, balconies, parks and even on the walls of buildings. They provide a safe place for insects to live, lay eggs and spend the winter. “Many people think insects are harmful or annoying, but most of them are our good friends,” said Li Ming, an ecologist from Beijing Forestry University. “An insect hotel is not just a home for insects. It’s a small ecosystem that helps keep the balance of nature in our cities. It also helps people, especially children, get close to nature and learn to respect every living thing.” In many Chinese cities, such as Shanghai, Chengdu and Hangzhou, insect hotels have been built in community parks and schools. Some schools even hold competitions for students to design and make their own insect hotels. “It’s a great way to teach children about environmental protection in a fun way,” said a primary school teacher in Hangzhou. “When children build an insect hotel, they not only learn about different kinds of insects, but also understand their responsibility to protect nature.” 1．What is an insect hotel according to the text? A．A research center for studying wild insects. B．A man-made structure for insects to live in. C．A museum showing different kinds of insects. D．A protected area for endangered insects. 2．Why are insects important to the ecosystem? A．They can reduce air pollution in cities. B．They help keep the number of pests under control. C．They can prevent the spread of plant diseases. D．They provide food for all wild animals. 3．What does Li Ming think of insect hotels? A．They are only suitable for rural areas. B．They can replace natural habitats for insects. C．They are good for both nature and people. D．They don’t need special care after being built. 4．What is the last paragraph mainly about? A．The popularity of insect hotels in Chinese cities. B．How to make an insect hotel with natural materials. C．The influence of insect hotels on children’s study. D．Ways to protect wild insects in urban areas. 【答案】1．B 2．B 3．C 4．A 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道，主要讲的是随着城市发展和建筑增多，野生昆虫生存空间不断缩小，近年来在全球流行的生态友好型创意——昆虫旅馆。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段“An insect hotel is a man-made structure, usually made of natural materials like wood, bamboo, straw and pine cones, to provide shelter and a living place for wild insects, such as bees, butterflies, ladybugs and beetles.(昆虫旅馆是一种人造结构，通常由木材、竹子、稻草和松果等天然材料制成，旨在为诸如蜜蜂、蝴蝶、瓢虫和甲虫等野生昆虫提供庇护所和生存空间。)”可知，昆虫旅馆是一个供昆虫居住的人造结构。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据第二段“Ladybugs and beetles eat pests that damage plants, reducing the need for chemical pesticides.(瓢虫和甲虫会吃掉损害植物的害虫，从而减少了对化学农药的需求。)”可知，昆虫对生态系统重要是因为它们有助于控制害虫的数量。故选B。 3．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“It’s a small ecosystem that helps keep the balance of nature in our cities. It also helps people, especially children, get close to nature and learn to respect every living thing.(它还是一个小型生态系统，有助于维持我们城市中的自然平衡。它还能帮助人们，尤其是孩子们，亲近自然，并学会尊重每一个生命。)”可知，李明认为昆虫旅馆对自然和人类都有益处。故选C。 4．主旨大意题。根据最后一段“In many Chinese cities, such as Shanghai, Chengdu and Hangzhou, insect hotels have been built in community parks and schools. Some schools even hold competitions for students to design and make their own insect hotels.(在许多中国城市，比如上海、成都和杭州，社区公园和学校里都建有昆虫旅馆。有些学校甚至举办比赛，让学生们设计并制作自己的昆虫旅馆。)”可知，最后一段主要讲的是中国城市中昆虫旅馆的流行趋势。故选A。 主题03 人与自我——兴趣驱动；家国情怀；乐观心态 Passage 1 (2026·高三·湖南常德·二模) Heidy Martinez never dreamt of studying sharks. That changed during a study abroad trip in South Africa in college. She went cage diving with classmates — viewing sharks underwater while inside a protective cage. Martinez was mostly there for the excitement. The boat ride was proving to be uncomfortable. Martinez’s wetsuit didn’t fit. Everyone was feeling seasick. When she entered the ocean, a woman beside her said she felt ill. “All of a sudden, she brings up,” Martinez recalls. “Then a wave comes, so all she pukes (呕吐) just lands on me.” At that moment, a white shark approached the cage. To see the shark, Martinez immediately dived, puke and all. But the sight was worth it. Movies usually show these sharks as bloody hunters. But this white shark looked entirely different. “I was shocked at how beautiful the shark was,” she says. “That was a critical moment in my career.” Today, Martinez is a freelance shark researcher. When she decided to switch careers in her mid-20s, she felt scared. Her family had left Colombia when she was 6 so she could have a better future. She worried her parents would think everything she’d done was a waste. But her dad actually got teary-eyed when she told them. He explained that he had wanted to study marine biology, too. “It felt like this full-circle moment,” she says. “My dad left everything behind so I could do what I love.” Martinez’s degrees are in anthropology and psychology, not marine biology. But these backgrounds have shaped her as a scientist. Anthropology allows her to consider cultural differences. Psychology helps her understand how people receive information. For example, clam (蛤蜊) divers in the Gulf of Mexico have lost their lives to shark encounters. Their reaction is to hate sharks. Many scientists try to lecture the fishermen about how sharks don’t regularly attack divers. But studying psychology taught Martinez that if you want people to listen to you, you have to listen to them first. 1．What happened to Martinez during her study trip in South Africa ? A．Someone threw up on her. B．She was attacked by a shark. C．She felt too sick to enjoy the trip. D．Her wetsuit was torn by a wave. 2．What can we infer from Martinez’s father’s reaction ? A．He regretted not leaving Colombia. B．He was worried about her wasting time. C．He was deeply touched by her decision. D．He felt sorry for his own unrealized dream. 3．Why does the author mention clam divers in Paragraph 5? A．To stress the importance of degrees. B．To explain why fishermen fear sharks. C．To prove that sharks regularly attack divers. D．To show the effect of interdisciplinary knowledge. 4．What can be concluded from Martinez’s experience? A．Listening is a scientific research method. B．Efforts should be made to protect sharks. C．Finding what interests us drives career path. D．Success is closely related to family support. 【答案】1．A 2．C 3．D 4．C 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。马丁内斯的学位是人类学和心理学，但是在一次南非游学经历中她对海洋生物学产生了深深的兴趣，这引导了她的职业道路，她的跨学科背景也非常有利于她的学术研究。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段最后两句““All of a sudden, she brings up,” Martinez recalls. “ Then a wave comes, so all she pukes (呕吐) just lands on me.”(“突然之间，她就吐了。”马丁内斯回忆道。“这时涌来一阵海浪，把她吐出的东西全都拍到了我身上。”)”可知，马丁内斯在南非游学的时候，有人吐在了她身上。故选A。 2．推理判断题。根据第四段最后四句“But her dad actually got teary-eyed when she told them. He explained that he had wanted to study marine biology, too. “It felt like this full-circle moment,” she says. “My dad left everything behind so I could do what I love.”(但当她把这件事告诉父亲时，父亲竟落泪了。他解释说，自己也曾想学习海洋生物学。“那一刻感觉真是圆满了，”她说，“父亲放弃了一切，只为让我能做自己热爱的事情。”)”可知，马丁内斯的父亲的反应表明他被她的这一决定深深打动了。故选C。 3．推理判断题。根据第五段前四句“Martinez’s degrees are in anthropology and psychology, not marine biology. But these backgrounds have shaped her as a scientist. Anthropology allows her to consider cultural differences. Psychology helps her understand how people receive information.(马丁内斯的学位是人类学和心理学，而非海洋生物学。但这些背景经历塑造了她作为科学家的特质。人类学使她能够考虑文化差异。心理学则帮助她理解人们获取信息的方式。)”可知，作者在第五段中提到捕蛤者这一群体是为了表明跨学科知识的成效。故选D。 4．推理判断题。根据第一段“Heidy Martinez never dreamt of studying sharks. That changed during a study abroad trip in South Africa in college. She went cage diving with classmates — viewing sharks underwater while inside a protective cage. Martinez was mostly there for the excitement.(海蒂·马丁内斯从未想过要研究鲨鱼。但在大学期间的一次南非留学之旅中，这一切都发生了改变。她和同学们一起进行了潜水活动——在有防护罩的笼子里观察水下的鲨鱼。马丁内斯去那里主要是为了寻求刺激。)”和最后一段最后两句“Many scientists try to lecture the fishermen about how sharks don’t regularly attack divers. But studying psychology taught Martinez that if you want people to listen to you, you have to listen to them first.(许多科学家试图向渔民们宣讲鲨鱼并不会经常袭击潜水者这一事实。但通过心理学的学习，马丁内斯明白，要想让别人听你说话，你首先得先倾听他们的想法。)”可知，马丁内斯因为一次经历对海洋生物学产生了深深的兴趣，她的跨学科知识也让她的职业道路非常顺利，这说明找到我们感兴趣的事物会引导我们的职业道路。故选C。 Passage 2 (2026·高三·湖南永州·二模) In a university rehearsal hall, he performs Xinjiang’s eagle dance gracefully, across the globe, he wanders museums and art galleries, seeking the beauty of distant cultures and long-lost histories. This may seem the daily life of an artist, but in reality, it belongs to Dawulijan Yerhalik,a young archaeologist (考古学家) who “converses with the earth” and devotes himself to uncovering Xinjiang’s ancient secrets. Born in Hutubi County, Xinjiang, Dawulijan spent his high school years in Suzhou and studied archaeology at Peking University for a full decade, finally earning his doctoral degree. His career path took clear shape in Professor Lin Meicun’s Silk Road Archaeology class: a slide of Xinjiang’s Kangjia Shimenzi Petroglyphs (岩画) left him astonished by his lack of knowledge about his hometown’s precious heritage. In that very moment, a deep connection to archaeology was established, and he determined to focus on Silk Road and Xinjiang archaeological research. His fieldwork journey started at the Tonggusibaxi Site in Aksu, where he perfected foundational skills like soil texture identification and trowel use under Professor Chen Ling’s careful guidance. He finds excavating sites (发掘遗址) used across multiple historical periods the most complex yet fascinating part of the work, as each layer reveals unique traces of ancient human activity. In 2024, his team made a landmark discovery at the Tangchaodun site — pieces of Chinese-written Buddhist scrolls. It was the first time such items had been found in the northern Tianshan foothills, providing critical material for studying how Buddhist texts spread in the Western Regions. For Dawulijan, Xinjiang is a unique archaeological treasure, and his work is a sacred mission to tell Xinjiang’s rich and vivid stories to the world. 1．The underlined word “converses” in Paragraph 1 probably means ________. A．Cooperates. B．Competes. C．Communicates. D．Compares. 2．How did Dawulijan feel during Professor Lin’s class? A．Impressed. B．Hesitant. C．Uninterested. D．Confident. 3．What does the appeal of multi-period excavation sites lie in? A．Possibility of making landmark discoveries. B．Chance to polish essential archaeological skills. C．Rare cultural relics native to northern Tianshan. D．Unique traces of ancient human activity in each layer. 4．What does Dawulijan’s experience show? A．High-tech skills are key to professional success. B．Awards are the best proof of one’s professional value. C．Love for your roots contributes to a meaningful calling. D．Preserving cultural heritage is everyone’s shared mission. 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．D 4．C 【导语】本文是一篇人物传记。文章主要讲述了青年考古学家Dawulijan Yerhalik的求学经历，他因家乡岩画触动决心深耕丝绸之路和新疆考古研究，介绍了其田野考古的实践过程与重要发现，以及他视向世界讲述新疆丰富故事为神圣使命的职业追求。 1．词句猜测题。根据划线词组所在句“This may seem the daily life of an artist, but in reality, it belongs to Dawulijan Yerhalik, a young archaeologist (考古学家) who “converses with the earth” and devotes himself to uncovering Xinjiang’s ancient secrets.(这般生活，看似是艺术家的日常，实则属于Dawulijan Yerhalik——一位以“与大地……”为使命、潜心探寻新疆古老奥秘的青年考古学家。)”可知，“converses with the earth”是对考古学家Dawulijan工作的形象描述，其核心是通过考古发掘探寻大地之下的新疆古老奥秘，即考古学家从大地中挖掘历史信息，如同与大地“交流、对话”。故选C。 2．推理判断题。根据文章第二段“His career path took clear shape in Professor Lin Meicun’s Silk Road Archaeology class: a slide of Xinjiang’s Kangjia Shimenzi Petroglyphs (岩画) left him astonished by his lack of knowledge about his hometown’s precious heritage.(他的职业方向，在林梅村教授的丝绸之路考古课堂上逐渐明晰：课堂上，一张新疆康家石门子岩画的幻灯片，让他惊觉自己对家乡珍贵的文化遗产竟知之甚少。)”可知，在林教授的课堂上，新疆康家石门子岩画的幻灯片让他为自己对家乡珍贵文化遗产的无知感到震惊，这份震惊也让他与考古学结下羁绊，坚定了研究方向，可见他在课堂上受到了极大的触动。故选A。 3．细节理解题。根据文章第三段“He finds excavating sites (发掘遗址) used across multiple historical periods the most complex yet fascinating part of the work, as each layer reveals unique traces of ancient human activity.(在他看来，发掘那些历经多个历史时期的遗址，是考古工作中最复杂却也最具魅力的部分，因为遗址的每一层土层，都留存着古代人类活动独有的痕迹。)”可知，Dawulijan认为发掘跨多个历史时期的遗址极具魅力，而原因正是这类遗址的每一层都留存着古代人类活动的独特痕迹。故选D。 4．推理判断题。根据文章第二段“His career path took clear shape in Professor Lin Meicun’s Silk Road Archaeology class: a slide of Xinjiang’s Kangjia Shimenzi Petroglyphs (岩画) left him astonished by his lack of knowledge about his hometown’s precious heritage.

Back then, we lived at our grandparents’ house in Oceanside, California. Our financial situation became increasingly strained after my father, who had dedicated over two decades to serving in the U.S. Air Force, honorably retired and subsequently encountered challenges in securing a stable position in the civilian workforce. We were also struggling to find an affordable place to call our own. It would have been easy to give in to frustration. But mom had other ideas, using the situation to give my brother Jess and me fond memories that would affect our perspective forever. However, I only appreciated the full extent of her wisdom many years later. Once or twice a week, she would lead us to the bus stop, and from there we would “see the world”. The public transportation system was extensive, and with one ticket we could ride all day. My mom studied the routes carefully and guided us to a variety of destinations. Among our favorites was the mall in Carlsbad. At its center stood a glass clock tower with gears (齿轮) that rolled plastic balls along rails, bouncing them onto drums and ramps, then lifting them up again to repeat the cycle. The sight always drew a small crowd, mostly children. On other days, we took the bus to Strand Beach, where we watched ships in the distance and heard helicopters and aircraft soaring overhead toward the naval (海军的) base at Camp Pendleton. Every trip we took felt like a grand expedition, and I was grateful to my mom for making that difficult period so enjoyable. Eventually, my father found a steady job, and we moved into a home in the countryside. My mom did more than distract us from our troubles. She instilled in us enthusiasm for keeping our eyes open and appreciating the world that was ours without having to really pay anything. Most importantly, she showed us that regardless of where we were, and what we were going through, there was something we could smile about somewhere. 1．Why did the family face difficulties? A．The father lost his job in the U.S. Air Force. B．The family had no fixed place of residence. C．They lived far away from the city. D．They lacked financial stability. 2．What was the mother’s primary purpose of the trip? A．To build a positive attitude to the world. B．To promote her husband at the naval base. C．To find a new home in the countryside. D．To explore job opportunities in Carlsbad. 3．What does the author most appreciate about his mom now? A．Her knowledge of public transportation. B．Her skill in planning detailed travel routes. C．Her wisdom in shaping their outlook on life. D．Her patience during their financial struggles. 4．Which word best describes the mother? A．Ambitious. B．Resourceful. C．Adventurous. D．Protective. 【答案】1．D 2．A 3．C 4．B 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了家境拮据时母亲带孩子乘公交看世界，让孩子收获积极人生观的往事。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段中“Our financial situation became increasingly strained after my father, who had dedicated over two decades to serving in the U.S. Air Force, honorably retired and subsequently encountered challenges in securing a stable position in the civilian workforce.

(父亲在美国空军服役二十余年，光荣退役后，却难以在民用领域找到一份稳定的工作。自那以后，家里的经济状况愈发拮据，我们也一直苦于找不到一处能负担得起的安身之所)”可知，这个家庭面临困难是因为他们缺乏经济稳定性。故选D。 2．推理判断题。根据第二段中“But mom had other ideas, using the situation to give my brother Jess and me fond memories that would affect our perspective forever. However, I only appreciated the full extent of her wisdom many years later. (但母亲却另有想法，她借着这样的处境，为我和弟弟杰西创造了温馨的回忆，而这些回忆也彻底改变了我们看待世界的视角。只是这份智慧的深意，我直到多年后才真正体会到)”及最后一段“My mom did more than distract us from our troubles. She instilled in us enthusiasm for keeping our eyes open and appreciating the world that was ours without having to really pay anything. Most importantly, she showed us that regardless of where we were, and what we were going through, there was something we could smile about somewhere. (母亲做的不仅仅是分散我们的注意力，让我们远离烦恼。她给我们灌输了睁大眼睛欣赏这个属于我们的世界的热情，而不需要付出任何代价。最重要的是，她告诉我们，无论我们在哪里，无论我们正在经历什么，总有一些事情是值得我们微笑的)”可推知，母亲旅行的主要目的是培养对世界的积极态度。故选A。 3．推理判断题。根据第二段中“But mom had other ideas, using the situation to give my brother Jess and me fond memories that would affect our perspective forever.
