Passage 1
(2026·辽宁名校联盟·二模)
Ever since she was a little girl, Maya has been afraid of heights. Climbing trees, riding escalators, even standing on a chair to get a book from a high shelf would send her heart racing. This phobia (恐惧症) was something she simply accepted as part of who she was, until her best friend invited her to go rock climbing for her birthday.
The thought of it made Maya’s palms sweat. She imagined herself clinging to the wall, frozen with fear. Yet, seeing her friend’s excited face, she couldn’t say no. “What if I just watch?” She suggested weakly. But her friend, knowing Maya’s fear, gently pushed her to try just once.
On the day of the party, Maya stood at the base of the climbing wall, looking up. It seemed to tower endlessly into the air. Her hands were shaking as she put on the harness. “Just go as high as you feel comfortable,” the instructor said kindly. “The goal isn’t the top; the goal is to challenge yourself.”
Taking a deep breath, Maya placed her hand on a rock and her foot on another. She moved slowly, methodically, focusing only on the next hold. For a moment, she looked down and immediately regretted it. The ground seemed miles away. Panic started to rise. But then she heard her friends cheering from below, “You got this, Maya!”
She turned her focus back to the wall. Hand over hand, foot over foot. The world narrowed to the rough texture of the rocks and the satisfying weight of her body moving upward. When she finally reached a point halfway up, she stopped. She didn’t feel the need to go further. She looked out at the gym, not down at the floor, and saw a new perspective. The fear was still there, but it was no longer paralyzing. It had become a companion on her climb, a testament to her courage. That day, Maya learned that true bravery doesn’t mean you aren’t afraid; it means you act in spite of fear.
1.Why did Maya decide to go rock climbing?
A.She found it looked exciting. B.She wanted to overcome her phobia.
C.She was encouraged by the instructor. D.She didn’t want to disappoint her friend.
2.What does the phrase “the world narrowed” in paragraph 5 imply about Maya?
A.She felt the gym was getting smaller. B.She lost interest in her friend’s cheers.
C.She focused entirely on the climbing task. D.She became more aware of her surroundings.
3.What helped Maya continue climbing when she panicked?
A.The instructor’s guidance. B.The goal of reaching the top.
C.Her focus on the next hold. D.Encouragement from her friends.
4.What message does Maya’s story mainly convey?
A.Friendship can help us conquer any fear.
B.True bravery means acting without fear.
C.Facing our fears can lead to personal growth.
D.Rock climbing is an effective treatment for phobias.
Passage 2
(2026·辽宁鞍山·二模)
A young artist sketching in remote grasslands met a wounded wolf cub, and did not expect that this incident had rewritten her fate. The story took place in April 2010. When she came to the Ruoerge Grassland in search of creative inspiration, something unexpected happened.
At that time, Li Weiyi happened to hear the story of the wolf king from the mouths of the herders (牧民). The she-wolf had just given birth to a litter of wolf cubs, and the wolf king ran out to hunt for her, but unfortunately mistakenly fell into the herders’ trap and was eventually killed. The she-wolf was fatally poisoned and died as well.
Li Weiyi has a special affection for wild animals. She tracked down the orphaned cub, adopted it, named it Green and brought it back to Chengdu to look after. Li deliberately retained the characteristics of Green, usually feeding it live animals, and cultivating its hunting skills. But a bustling city is not an ideal place for a wild wolf to thrive, so Li returned to the plains to follow the trails of the wolves. Li took three steps, placing Green first among Tibetan Mastiffs, then into the wild and then into the wolf pack. All along, she acted with the wolf and trained it like a mother wolf. After a winter of trying, Green successfully returned to its wolf pack.
In order to save the northwest wolves like Green and arouse people’s attention and protection of wild animals, Li Weiyi turned her story into the book Let Me Accompany You Back to the Wolves, and later made the videos she had shot for Green into documentaries named Back to the Wolf Pack. In 2020, China’s first wild wolf reserve was established — a small but hopeful echo of Li Weiyi’s ten years of dedication.
The story of Li Weiyi and Green has refreshed our view of wolves. She has proved that wild animals and humans can live in harmony.
1.What did Li Weiyi gain unexpectedly?
A.A vivid story outline. B.A source of inspiration.
C.A new purpose in life. D.A better painting skill.
2.What is paragraph 2 mainly about?
A.The poor living conditions of herders.
B.The loyal love between the wolf couple.
C.The background story of Green’s adoption.
D.The courageous and tough image of wolves.
3.What does the underlined word “retained” in paragraph 3 mean?
A.Used. B.Kept. C.Removed. D.Adjusted.
4.How did Li Weiyi influence others to protect wild animals?
A.She fed Green in Chengdu. B.She set up a wolf zoo.
C.She tracked packs of wolves. D.She used films as a medium.
Passage 3
(2026·吉林·二模)
Hunter never thought she’d total her car. But in 2021, she stood by the remainder (残骸) of her 2008 Nissan Versa on the Dallas Highway, grateful to be alive.
Hunter had promised herself that when she graduated and moved to downtown Dallas, she’d get rid of her car. The accident sped up her timeline. Now, the 28-year-old is one of more than 200,000 Dallasites using Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) to make their everyday commute (通勤).
In order to cut costs, Colorado, a software developer, sold his car. When he owned a car, Colorado said he spent around $450 a month on payments and insurance alone. On top of that, he paid for gas, maintenance, and more — making his car expenses well above twice the amount he pays without one, he said.
In 2022, DART made updates to its bus network that made using public transportation a lot easier for some riders, like Colorado. But no matter how DART develops, riding public transportation takes some amount of pre-planning based on bus and train schedules, Colorado said. His advice for new riders is: “Don’t give up when things get difficult.”
Riding DART is more environmentally conscious, too, Hunter said, and she regularly runs into several of her neighbors while on transit.
For Hunter, living without a car gives her peace from the stress of traffic and has helped her mental stability.
“At the end of a workday, you can enjoy the process of getting home.” Hunter said.
Colorado said he takes the time he would be driving to read on the train, observe the world around him, explore his neighborhood, or meet someone new.
“You learn to see, appreciate, and soak in the value of taking a little time,” Colorado said. “It’s more about the journey than the destination. I think there’s a philosophy to it that you start to learn.”
1.What made Hunter use public transport earlier than planned?
A.A serious car crash.
B.Her move to downtown Dallas.
C.Her graduation from university.
D.The high cost of car maintenance.
2.What can be learned about DART from the text?
A.It advocates a low-carbon transportation.
B.It’s the primary cause of reduced car ownership.
C.It has flexible schedules tailored for its users.
D.It has been improved to better serve its users.
3.What do both Hunter and Colorado appreciate about their new lifestyle?
A.The chance to make more friends.
B.The stability of the public transport system.
C.The personal time gained during the commute.
D.The positive comments from their neighbors.
4.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A.When the Car Is Gone, the Journey Begins
B.A Crash That Changed Dallas Traffic
C.DART’s New Routes Win Riders Back
D.Commute Options in Modern Cities
Passage 4
(2026·辽宁沈阳·二模)
Peter Frank, a canoeist, planned to row a canoe (皮划艇) to complete a6,000-mile journey along the Great Loop. He estimated it would take him a total of 17 months.
Frank launched his trip on June 27 in Escanaba, Michigan, where he’s from, and now he has arrived at the Chesapeake Bay in Maryland in his 1982Sawyer Loon canoe. He has finished about a quarter of his planned journey, so he’s still got a long way to go. He says nature is his biggest competitor. He’ll have to complete the Great Loop by next November, due to a natural deadline set by the freezing of the lakes he’ll need to cross.
For Frank, the journey is largely a way to express his gratitude for still being alive and having the ability to take on the physical challenge, almost a decade after a car accident which left him with 14 broken bones and nearly paralyzed (瘫痪的). Frank had made long-distance trips by bicycle, unicycle and canoe before. “These adventures are not only my college and my education, but they’re my forms of showing my gratitude to the world for being alive and being able to walk and do the things that I can do,” he says.
“Contrary to what most people think, it doesn’t cost much to travel, especially when you eliminate plane tickets, gas, property and accommodations like hotels or restaurants,” he says. “Is this comfortable? Absolutely not, but through the struggles of following my dream with little to nothing, I’ve developed the capacity to enjoy less, and as a result, I live well with little,” he adds.
He also describes the trip as a journey in self-discovery. It’s very hard to picture where he will be three years from now, as he’s still young and growing, but he’s hoping that on this very long journey of self-discovery, he’ll perhaps find that.
1.What can we know about Frank’s journey?
A.He uses a modern canoe. B.The journey will take one year.
C.He started in June in Michigan. D.The journey has been completed.
2.Why is the journey significant to Frank?
A.He can break a record. B.He can find a new home.
C.He wants to win a competition. D.He wants to show appreciation for life.
3.What does the underlined word “eliminate” in paragraph 4 mean?
A.Dismiss. B.Admit. C.Remark. D.Possess.
4.What message does the author want to show in the last paragraph?
A.Uncertainty of the future. B.Value of personal growth.
C.The discovery of travelling. D.The importance of planning.

Passage 1
(2026·黑龙江齐齐哈尔·二模)
Two years ago, 50-year-old Tamsin convinced herself that she had simply outgrown mountain climbing. For over a decade, she had spent her weekends following the narrow paths that wound through the peaks above her small town — until suddenly, she stopped. Her boots remained by the door, their soles (鞋底) still marked with dried mud from a hike she’d abandoned halfway. She said she was too occupied, yet it wasn’t the truth.
What began as a love for open ridges (山脊) had somehow transformed into something heavier. She’d study the maps late at night, look over routes she no longer allowed herself to attempt, and check the weather forecasts repeatedly, as though preparing for a journey she never intended to begin. The habits remained, but the act itself froze. She blamed her schedule, her tiredness, the unreliable conditions of the paths — any explanation except the one that sat quietly beneath them all.
Her younger brother, a geologist named Solen, finally handed her a different possibility. “You’re not avoiding the climb,” he said gently. “You’re avoiding the possibility that you might not be the same person who once loved it.”
That afternoon, Tamsin drove to the base of the oldest path she knew. She sat in the car for forty-seven minutes before stepping out. She told herself she’d walk only until the first switchback. When she reached it, she kept going with a kind of determination. Her breath came unevenly at first, and her legs reminded her of months of stillness. Yet somewhere above the tree line, surrounded by late-afternoon light, she realized her fear had been regret — regret for the version of herself who’d once moved through these mountains easily.
By the time she returned, the sun had set. She understood then that courage had never been the absence of being afraid; it’d been the willingness to walk anyway, even when the person she’d been felt so far behind her. The boots by the door no longer seemed like a judgment. They were simply waiting.
1.What kind of person was the 40-year-old Tamsin?
A.Busy. B.Active. C.Ambitious. D.Cautious.
2.What does the author try to show about Tamsin in paragraph 2?
A.She hid away from her real issue. B.She told small lies to protect herself.
C.She kept preparing but never acted. D.She buried her fear behind daily habits.
3.What did Tamsin finally recognize as the root of her avoidance?
A.Loss of physical strength. B.Worry over the mountain paths.
C.Sorrow for her former self. D.Pressure from her brother.
4.What lesson can we learn from Tamsin’s story?
A.Accepting change helps one succeed.
B.Moving forward despite fear matters.
C.Letting go of the past brings freedom.
D.Acknowledging loss means true courage.
Passage 2
(2026·吉林·二模)
Travelling didn’t just expand my world; it lit a creative spark in me that I hadn’t known. Between airport coffee and mountain sunsets, I started to write. At first, it was to remember the places, people and meals. But soon, the words became more than memories: The careless and untidy writing turned into sentences, the sentences into stories. Writing became a way to relive the magic and share it. Slowly, my confidence grew.
In 2023, as a 55-year-old woman, I decided to start a new journey, but this time, it did not involve travelling. Instead, it was a journey of learning. I took the leap and applied for a BA (Hons) in English Literature and Creative Writing through Burnley College University Courses. It felt like stepping into the unknown. I told myself not to get my hopes up. So, when that acceptance came through, the news felt too surreal to sink in at once — I was going to university.
It wasn’t easy at first. I felt like a fish out of water on my first day. But now, I’ve found my rhythm. I’ve rediscovered who I am and who I want to be. I’m shaping a future that is entirely my own, and I’m doing it with my words. I am living in a world I never imagined I could be part of. I am developing my writing skills and embracing this new creative journey.
And so, my journey continues — one that connects the joys of travel with the transforming power of learning. While I am unsure of the destination, I know it will lead me to some extraordinary places. I look forward to the stories yet to be written and the journeys yet to be taken.
If there is one thing I’ve learned, it’s this: Stepping out of your comfort zone gets more rewarding with age. My journey may have started with countries, but now it carries me to learning. And I can’t wait to see where life takes me next.
1.Why did the author start writing?
A.To improve her self-confidence. B.To share her stories with others.
C.To refresh her previous memories. D.To record her travel experiences.
2.How did the author feel about being accepted by the university?
A.Curious. B.Peaceful. C.Surprised. D.Relieved.
3.What does university education mean to the author?
A.A new self-shaping journey. B.A tough personal challenge.
C.A childhood long-held dream. D.A way to become ordinary.
4.What does the author’s experience show?
A.Comfort zone offers safety. B.Writing fixes our troubles.
C.Age never limits growth. D.Travel is the best teacher.
Passage 3
(2026·内蒙古乌兰察布市·二模)
Ruth Minhall’s pathway into education was untraditional. Owing to her ADHD (多动症) and difficulty in reading and spelling, she was frequently misunderstood and underestimated. Teachers criticized her unusual way of thinking, and her confidence as a student decreased. However, Ruth didn’t give up. Instead, she developed strategies to succeed, such as reading her work aloud to improve grammar and flow, which contributed to her exam success.
These experiences convinced her that barriers can become stepping stones to growth. That belief continues to guide her leadership today and inspires the philosophy behind Tuition Extra: learning should be adaptable, solution-focused, and centered on individual strengths.
As an adult, Ruth once worked internationally as a singer and recording artist, pursued journalism, and finally became a teacher at Borden Grammar School in Sittingbourne. Just in the classroom, she discovered her ability to connect with students at risk of exclusion (排斥).
Although Ruth enjoyed teaching, she realized that traditional routes within education weren’t economically sustainable for her as a single mother. So she created a part-time tutoring business that would later grow into Tuition Extra Group. Rapidly, parents and schools recognized Ruth’s unique solution-focused approach, which prioritized addressing unmet needs rather than punishing troubled behaviors. The impact wasn’t limited to academic achievement. Students also gained confidence and a renewed sense of belonging.
In 2013, Ruth decided to devote herself fully to the business. Today, Tuition Extra is a dynamic organization combining education with vocational (职业的) opportunities. It supports children and young adults aged 4-25 who might otherwise struggle to succeed in mainstream education.
For Ruth, leadership is about taking responsibility and continuously learning. She describes failure not as weakness but as growth. Students, staff, and leaders alike are encouraged to see mistakes as opportunities for learning. Her organization stands as proof that every child, regardless of their challenges, has the potential to succeed when educated with love and creativity.
1.What can be inferred about Ruth’s early school years?
A.They were shaped by a variety of challenges. B.They were filled with regular celebrations.
C.They prevented her identifying her later path. D.They exposed her to an inspiring campus culture.
2.What is implied about Ruth in paragraph 3?
A.Her philosophy kept developing. B.Her talent for art was recognized.
C.Her career was equally diverse. D.Her devotion to education was touching.
3.What mainly motivated Ruth to start her tutoring business?
A.Requests from numerous parents. B.Her financial needs and personal insight.
C.Her ambition to transform education. D.Encouragement from school leaders.
4.What is probably Ruth’s teaching philosophy?
A.One-size-fits-all teaching should be prioritized.
B.Community-driven approaches bring fast success.
C.Tailored education is about fitting in.
D.All children deserve the opportunity to grow.
Passage 4
(2026·黑龙江省龙东十校联盟·二模)
By my early 40s, I had exhausted all the hobbies supposed to make me feel better about entering middle age. At the height of my desperation, I decided to sign up for a ballet class.
“But you’re not very flexible,” my husband gently reminded me. He wasn’t wrong. I nearly injured myself when trying to stretch my leg. Also, my track record for committing to physical activity wasn’t great.
But I was determined to give it a try. I needed confirmation that my body was capable of movement and grace.
Before leaving the house for my first ballet class for adults, I hadn’t expected any of it to stick. But this time, the exact same things that had made me flee the studio as a 10-year-old now brought a certain joy.
When I expressed disappointment with my lack of grace in practising simple acts, my teacher reminded me ballet isn’t about perfection. Rather, it’s about striving for perfection. As a writer arguing sentences all day hoping they will approach the beautiful, perfect construct in her mind, this felt like the best, most fierce writing advice.
Slowly, I felt more comfortable with the body I saw staring back at me in the mirror. And the idea that my body is still a work in progress encourages me. If anything, ballet is forcing me to rethink my relationship with my body. As for the imperfections? They’re part of being alive.
Eight years into my ballet classes, I’m a lifelong advanced beginner. Recently, my teacher taught us a beginner-appropriate version of the Rose Adagio from Sleeping Beauty. As I stood in my living room, balancing shakily and dancing for nobody but myself, I felt every inch a ballerina.
1.Why did the author learn ballet in her middle age?
A.To provide support to her ballet instructor.
B.To cultivate inspiration for her writing career.
C.To participate in a personally fulfilling activity.
D.To demonstrate her continuing physical capabilities.
2.How did the author probably feel about ballet as a child?
A.Terrified. B.Interested. C.Relieved. D.Determined.
3.What kind of person is the author?
A.Curious and mild. B.Strict yet indecisive.
C.Negative yet honest. D.Determined and open-minded.
4.What does ballet teach the author?
A.Enjoy the journey of becoming a better self.
B.It’s acceptable to forgive herself for not trying.
C.Physical flexibility comes first for the middle-aged.
D.One shouldn’t stop striving for personal achievements.
Passage 5
(2026·内蒙古·二模)
Growing up, I disliked writing. It was the last thing I wanted to do and it’s one reason why I pursued science in the first place. In high school, I hated writing essays. For hours, I stared at blank pages, trying to turn my disordered thoughts into fluent sentences and I often received papers marked with lots of corrections. I began to wonder if I was simply not cut out for writing. And that was OK. I didn’t have to be good at everything.
I focused instead on my love for math and science. I took comfort there, knowing objective truth could be found if I searched methodically. In college, I studied engineering and joined a research lab to gain hands-on experience. My first project was to improve the efficiency of a magnetic component. Despite initial disappointing results, I continued through many designs. Eventually, we developed a design that halved energy losses. I was delighted — until my professor told me to write that research paper.
I knew that if I wanted to become a researcher, I would need to spend time penning papers. But I was scared of failing. In a panic, I asked a graduate student in my lab for help. We set a goal for the paper, and I carefully wrote an outline. But when I asked him for feedback (反馈), I soon found the paper covered in red marks. He explained that red didn’t mean I was a bad writer. Writing isn’t a one-and-done thing. It requires revising your work, often several times. Suddenly it occurred to me, “Hadn’t I done the same thing when I was searching for an efficient design?”
I polished my paper’s outline into sentences and paragraphs, guided by feedback. Though my first draft wasn’t perfect, with help, I enjoyed the process of improving it. Writing has since become one of my favorite parts of research, helping me organize my thoughts. I’ve even started writing popular science articles, which I never could have imagined during my early struggles with essays.
1.Which of the following best describes the author’s initial attitude toward writing?
A.A walk in the park. B.A storm in a teacup.
C.A nut hard to break. D.A feather in one’s cap.
2.Which is closest in meaning to the underlined word “penning” in paragraph 3?
A.Collecting. B.Reviewing. C.Composing. D.Polishing.
3.What did the author learn from his writing and research?
A.Both require trial and error. B.Both need inspiration and teamwork.
C.Both are about following fixed rules. D.Both are stressful and time-consuming.
4.What is the author’s attitude toward writing now?
A.Bored. B.Uncaring. C.Ambiguous. D.Enthusiastic.

Passage 1
(2026·吉林长春·二模)
For years, I viewed my grandfather’s vineyard (葡萄园) as a chain tying me to a forgotten past. Every summer vacation felt like a sentence. The air smelled of damp earth and pesticide, a sharp contrast to the clean, digital scent of my city life. I counted down the days until my escape, the quiet countryside feeling not peaceful, but empty and slow.
The change began with the arrival of a young agricultural scientist, Miss Li, from the county’s new “Rural Revitalization” project. She brought not just new organic fertilizers, but a tablet full of colorful soil analysis charts. My grandfather listened with polite skepticism, his face a mask of weathered tradition. Out of boredom, I started wandering around them. I was surprised to find myself inspired. I began translating the technical terms on the tablet into our local dialect for Grandpa, and explaining his decades of wisdom to Miss Li. A tiny spark (火花) of curiosity lit up where there was once only dullness.
One afternoon, a sudden hailstorm threatened the ripening grapes. Panic seized me — not for myself, but for the vines we had grown. Miss Li showed us satellite weather tracking on her phone, predicting the storm’s path. For the first time, I didn’t see technology as an enemy of this place, but as its friends. A fierce sense of protection, mixed with a new-found awe, warmed me from within. I was no longer just an observer; I got involved.
The autumn harvest was a success of this unlikely partnership. Grandfather placed a heavy hand on my shoulder. “This harvest,” he said, his voice thick with emotion, “has your mark on it.” A profound pride, deep and solid, settled in my chest. I finally understood that my growth wasn’t about escaping this land, but about enriching it. The vineyard was no longer my chain; it had become my canvas. In helping to revive its roots, I had discovered my own.
1.What did the author initially think of his summer at the vineyard?
A.A burden. B.A reward. C.A lesson. D.An entertainment.
2.What changed the author’s view of the vineyard?
A.Miss Li’s suggestion. B.His grandfather’s persuasion.
C.His involvement in the vineyard. D.The new “Rural Revitalization” project.
3.What does “canvas” in the last paragraph symbolize?
A.The freedom of modern urban life.
B.A material for recording one’s experience.
C.The transition between tradition and modernity.
D.A platform for realizing one’s potential and value.
4.Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text?
A.From Chain to Canvas: My Growth in the Vineyard
B.A Summer Escape: From City Life to the Countryside
C.An Exciting Success: the “Rural Revitalization” Project
D.The Lasting Conflict: Traditional Wisdom vs Modern Tech

5summer vacation felt like a sentence. The air smelled of damp earth and pesticide, a sharp contrast to the clean, digital scent of my city life. I counted down the days until my escape, the quiet countryside feeling not peaceful, but empty and slow.

Passage 3
(2026·内蒙古·二模)
From “aquabob” to “zawn”, writer Robert Macfarlane’s collection of unusual, poetic words for nature creates a glossary (词汇表) we all can learn from.
Years ago, nature writer Robert Macfarlane discovered that the latest edition of the Oxford Junior Dictionary was missing a few things. Oxford University Press confirmed that indeed, a list of words had been removed, which the publisher felt were no longer relevant to a modern-day childhood. No more “heron”, “bluebell”, “buttercup”, “ivy” and “willow”, and in their place came the new kids on the block, words like “blog”, “chatroom”, “cut-and-paste”, “MP3 player” and “voice-mail”.
Inspired by the deleted words and in combination with a lifetime of collecting terms about place, Macfarlane set out to counter the trend by creating a glossary of his own.
“We lack something, that is, a gathering of terms for the land and its weather,” he wrote in a beautiful essay in the newspaper. “Terms used by crofters, fishermen, farmers, sailors, scientists, miners, climbers, soldiers, shepherds, poets, walkers, and unrecorded others for whom particularised ways of describing place have been vital to everyday practice and perception.”
And thus his book, Landmarks, was born. As a field guide of sorts to the language of the wild world and an ode to the places afforded to us by Mother Nature, it includes thousands of remarkable words used in England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales to describe land, nature, and weather.
For example, “honeyfur” refers to a five-year-old girl’ s creation to describe the soft seeds of grasses pinched between fingertips and “landskein” is a term coined by a painter in the Western Isles referring to the braid of blue horizon lines on a hazy (薄雾蒙蒙的) day.
“There are experiences of landscape that will always resist articulation (表达), and of which words offer only a distant echo. Light has no grammar. Language is always late for its subject,” Macfarlane says.
1.Why were words like “heron” and “bluebell” removed from the Oxford Junior Dictionary?
A.Because they were too difficult to learn.
B.Because they were misused too many times.
C.Because they were not preferred by children.
D.Because they were not relevant to the modern era.
2.According to Macfarlane, what did he need for his glossary?
A.A list of words removed from dictionaries.
B.A guidebook of the language used by different professions.
C.A collection of words describing land, nature, and weather.
D.A gathering of beautiful essays on the land and its weather.
3.What does Macfarlane mean in the last paragraph?
A.Language is a unique skill belonging to humans.
B.Nature won’t change even if humans give it names.
C.The power of nature is hard to express through language.
D.Humans can use their words to record the beauty of nature.
4.In which section of a magazine can you find this article?
A.Language. B.Travel. C.Business. D.Technology.

Passage 1
(2026·吉林白山·二模)
My undergraduate student needed advice after yet another failed experiment. Sitting across from me, she looked exhausted — frustrated even. I heard myself say, “This is part of research. You just have to push through.” But even as the words left my mouth, I felt uneasy. She nodded silently and shifted her posture. Afterward, she began showing up less frequently and eventually stopped coming altogether. I tried to explain it away: undergraduates sometimes get busy with coursework, lose interest or change direction, but deep down, I wondered what I could have done differently.
I became a mentor (导师) during my second year of Ph. D.but didn’t get much guidance on how to do it. I learned only by doing. There were moments I felt proud of. One student started out quiet and unsure, but over time grew into a most independent and confident young researcher. Before graduating, she told me, “You are the reason I stuck with this.” That moment stayed with me. But so did the other one — the silence, the absences, the slow fade-out. Had I failed her?
It wasn’t until the final year of my Ph. D.that I came across a leaflet for a mentorship training workshop. Skeptical at first, I decided to try it. The program, called Entering Mentoring, brought together graduate students for weekly discussions. For the first time, I had the space to explore the invisible labor and emotional complexity of mentoring. One session asked us to reflect on our own practices. I began to realize what might have been missing in my relationship with the student who had drifted away. I had never invited her to share her goals or concerns. I could have been more attentive to her unspoken struggles.
After the workshop, I began changing how I interacted with students. I now start by asking how they’re doing, not just experimental details. This shift has led to more honest conversations. I’ve learned that good mentors are built through reflection and training. I wish I’d attended that workshop earlier, but I’m grateful I did at all.
1.What primarily caused the student’s withdrawal according to paragraph 1?
A.Demanding research challenges. B.Heavy academic workload.
C.Unaddressed inner struggles. D.Repetitive failures in research.
2.Why did the author mention the change of another student?
A.To explain his own research breakthrough. B.To illustrate his lack of proper guidance.
C.To showcase his pride in her achievement. D.To highlight the contrast in mentoring outcomes.
3.What did the workshop mainly focus on?
A.Developing academic research skills.
B.Encouraging discussions among graduate students.
C.Exploring the interpersonal aspects of mentoring.
D.Demonstrating diverse personal mentoring approaches.
4.Which of the following can best describe the author?
A.Strict and intelligent. B.Disciplined but inexperienced.
C.Thoughtful but self-doubting. D.Responsible and reflective.
Passage 2
(2026·辽宁·二模)
Being seventeen without money can be depressing. When the opportunity arrives to earn some needed cash, it would be foolish to pass it up. It is for this reason that when the opportunity to referee elementary basketball came my way, I jumped at the chance. I thought it would be a fun way to earn some “easy money”.
During the years I played on the court and watched the games, I often found myself criticizing the referees. I completely believed that I could do a much better job because of my love for basketball and my familiarity with the game. How difficult could it be, especially with a bunch of third graders?
I looked forward to my first night as a referee but all of my fantasies wore off from the beginning of the game. These sweet third grade boys immediately transformed into horrible creatures right before me. Never in my wildest dreams did I ever imagine the extent of competitiveness in the game.
A battle was in progress on the court while the crazy bystanders cheered and yelled from the stands. My only companion, the whistle, suffered from a severe case of stage fear, filling my head with doubt every time I wished to blow it. My lack of action fueled the heartless crowd. Even on the rare occasions when my whistle gained enough courage to pause the fight, the bystanders still couldn’t calm. The sense of failure flooded every inch of my soul. With only five minutes remaining, Michael, another referee, came in time, saving me from losing my mind. In a flash, I passed my whistle and quickly ran to the safety of the stands.
I realized just how difficult refereeing was. I could have let this heartbreaking evening destroy my future on the court, but instead it stimulated a sense of determination in me to do it better. I still hope to become a great referee someday. In order for this to become a reality, it will take many hours of practice and hard work. No matter how much I wish the cash would be handed to me without requiring any effort, I learned from this experience that there is no such thing as “easy money”.
1.What made the author agree to serve as a basketball referee?
A.His desire to make money. B.His passion for the job.
C.His confidence in third graders. D.His knowledge of basketball.
2.What did the author think of the third grade boys before refereeing the game?
A.Lovely. B.Selfish. C.Impolite. D.Competitive.
3.What happened to the author during the game?
A.He was too nervous to blow the whistle.
B.He was at a loss to announce the results.
C.He couldn’t avoid the bystanders’ physical attack.
D.He couldn’t handle the tough situation on the court.
4.What can we learn from the author’s experience?
A.lazy hands make for poverty.
B.Money does not grow on trees.
C.Hope for the best and prepare for the worst.
D.Nothing is impossible to a willing heart.
Passage 3
(2026·吉林·二模)
For the past three years, my mother battled cancer in silence. When she learned of her diagnosis, she chose not to tell anyone in our family. She did not want us to worry, so she carried the burden alone. I only noticed her fatigue and thinning hair, but she always smiled and insisted that everything was fine.
Every morning, she would rise before dawn to prepare breakfast for me and my father. I remember the smell of pancakes and freshly brewed coffee filling the kitchen, masking the bitter taste of her reality. She would slip away to her treatments, returning home with a tired smile and dark circles under her eyes. I asked her about the bruises (淤青) on her arms and she simply said they were from clumsy moments.
Despite her pain and growing weakness, my mother devoted herself to my happiness. Every year, as my birthday approached, she carefully selected a special gift, wrapped it in bright paper, and placed it in the garage (车库). She even painted a small wooden sign above the tool cabinet and hung the key on a hook. On its tag, she wrote, “Open after I die.” This secret tradition remained between her and the boxes of presents waiting silently in the garage.
Last month, my mother passed away. I was preparing to leave for college out of state, hoping to see her proud smile as I walked onto the campus. Instead, I returned home to an empty house filled with stillness and echoes of her laughter. My greatest regret is that she never got to see me begin this new chapter of my life. Grief weighed heavily on my heart as I struggled to accept her absence.
A week after the funeral, I remembered the garage key. With trembling hands, I walked into the cluttered space. Behind the old lawnmower and stacked boxes, I found a row of neatly arranged gifts, one for each birthday she had planned. On the wall above them hung a photograph of her and me, smiling at the beach when I was a child. Beneath the photo, in her familiar handwriting, were the words, “Happy Birthday, son. May happiness fill each day!”
1.For approximately how long did the mother bear her illness in secret?
A.Roughly two years. B.Less than twelve months.
C.Over thirty-six months. D.Under eighteen months.
2.In which part of the house did she hide the birthday presents?
A.Under the bedroom floorboards.
B.Within the home’s external storage area.
C.Tucked behind the basement furnace.
D.Concealed in the linen closet.
3.Which of the following best captures the narrator’s deepest remorse?
A.She didn’t witness his beginning at university.
B.She never documented her final wishes.
C.She forgot to tell him the truth before passing.
D.She failed to leave a parting letter.
4.Which title most fittingly conveys the story’s theme?
A.A Silent Protector B.Gifts Left in Waiting
C.Shadows of Sorrow D.The Key to Unspoken Love
Passage 4
(2026·内蒙古·二模)
In the small town of Willow Creek, there lived a peculiar old man named Mr. Thompson. He was known for his daily walks through the town square, always carrying a worn-out violin case. Yet, no one had ever heard him play a single note.
Every morning at precisely 8:00 am, Mr. Thompson would sit on the same weathered bench, carefully open the case, and gently touch the strings of his violin. Passers-by would often pause, expecting to hear music, but the old man would simply sit in silence, his eyes closed as if listening to a melody only he could hear.
The townsfolk had various theories about Mr. Thompson’s strange behavior. Some believed he had lost his ability to play due to age, while others thought he was waiting for the perfect moment to reveal his talent. The local newspaper even ran a story titled “The Silent Musician of Willow Creek,” which brought curious visitors to the town.
One particularly cold winter morning, a young girl named Emily approached Mr. Thompson. She had recently lost her hearing due to an illness and felt drawn to the silent musician. As she sat beside him, she noticed tears streaming down his face as his fingers gently moved along the violin’s neck.
Suddenly, Emily understood. She reached into her bag and pulled out a notebook, writing: “You’re playing for someone you’ve lost, aren’t you?” Mr. Thompson read the note and nodded, his hands quivering as he wrote his reply: “Every day, I play for my wife who passed away. She was the only one who could hear my music.”
From that day forward, Emily and Mr. Thompson formed an unlikely friendship. Though the town never heard a single note from the old man’s violin, they came to understand that some of the most beautiful music is the kind that plays in our hearts.

Passage 1
(2026·辽宁名校联盟·二模)
Ever since she was a little girl, Maya has been afraid of heights. Climbing trees, riding escalators, even standing on a chair to get a book from a high shelf would send her heart racing. This phobia (恐惧症) was something she simply accepted as part of who she was, until her best friend invited her to go rock climbing for her birthday.
The thought of it made Maya’s palms sweat. She imagined herself clinging to the wall, frozen with fear. Yet, seeing her friend’s excited face, she couldn’t say no. “What if I just watch?” She suggested weakly. But her friend, knowing Maya’s fear, gently pushed her to try just once.
On the day of the party, Maya stood at the base of the climbing wall, looking up. It seemed to tower endlessly into the air. Her hands were shaking as she put on the harness. “Just go as high as you feel comfortable,” the instructor said kindly. “The goal isn’t the top; the goal is to challenge yourself.”
Taking a deep breath, Maya placed her hand on a rock and her foot on another. She moved slowly, methodically, focusing only on the next hold. For a moment, she looked down and immediately regretted it. The ground seemed miles away. Panic started to rise. But then she heard her friends cheering from below, “You got this, Maya!”
She turned her focus back to the wall. Hand over hand, foot over foot. The world narrowed to the rough texture of the rocks and the satisfying weight of her body moving upward. When she finally reached a point halfway up, she stopped. She didn’t feel the need to go further. She looked out at the gym, not down at the floor, and saw a new perspective. The fear was still there, but it was no longer paralyzing. It had become a companion on her climb, a testament to her courage. That day, Maya learned that true bravery doesn’t mean you aren’t afraid; it means you act in spite of fear.
1.Why did Maya decide to go rock climbing?
A.She found it looked exciting. B.She wanted to overcome her phobia.
C.She was encouraged by the instructor. D.She didn’t want to disappoint her friend.
2.What does the phrase “the world narrowed” in paragraph 5 imply about Maya?
A.She felt the gym was getting smaller. B.She lost interest in her friend’s cheers.
C.She focused entirely on the climbing task. D.She became more aware of her surroundings.
3.What helped Maya continue climbing when she panicked?
A.The instructor’s guidance. B.The goal of reaching the top.
C.Her focus on the next hold. D.Encouragement from her friends.
4.What message does Maya’s story mainly convey?
A.Friendship can help us conquer any fear.
B.True bravery means acting without fear.
C.Facing our fears can lead to personal growth.
D.Rock climbing is an effective treatment for phobias.

Passage 2
(2026·辽宁鞍山·二模)
A young artist sketching in remote grasslands met a wounded wolf cub, and did not expect that this incident had rewritten her fate. The story took place in April 2010. When she came to the Ruoerge Grassland in search of creative inspiration, something unexpected happened.
At that time, Li Weiyi happened to hear the story of the wolf king from the mouths of the herders (牧民). The she-wolf had just given birth to a litter of wolf cubs, and the wolf king ran out to hunt for her, but unfortunately mistakenly fell into the herders’ trap and was eventually killed. The she-wolf was fatally poisoned and died as well.
Li Weiyi has a special affection for wild animals. She tracked down the orphaned cub, adopted it, named it Green and brought it back to Chengdu to look after. Li deliberately retained the characteristics of Green, usually feeding it live animals, and cultivating its hunting skills. But a bustling city is not an ideal place for a wild wolf to thrive, so Li returned to the plains to follow the trails of the wolves. Li took three steps, placing Green first among Tibetan Mastiffs, then into the wild and then into the wolf pack. All along, she acted with the wolf and trained it like a mother wolf. After a winter of trying, Green successfully returned to its wolf pack.
In order to save the northwest wolves like Green and arouse people’s attention and protection of wild animals, Li Weiyi turned her story into the book Let Me Accompany You Back to the Wolves, and later made the videos she had shot for Green into documentaries named Back to the Wolf Pack. In 2020, China’s first wild wolf reserve was established — a small but hopeful echo of Li Weiyi’s ten years of dedication.
The story of Li Weiyi and Green has refreshed our view of wolves. She has proved that wild animals and humans can live in harmony.
1.What did Li Weiyi gain unexpectedly?
A.A vivid story outline. B.A source of inspiration.
C.A new purpose in life. D.A better painting skill.
2.What is paragraph 2 mainly about?
A.The poor living conditions of herders.
B.The loyal love between the wolf couple.
C.The background story of Green’s adoption.
D.The courageous and tough image of wolves.
3.What does the underlined word “retained” in paragraph 3 mean?
A.Used. B.Kept. C.Removed. D.Adjusted.
4.How did Li Weiyi influence others to protect wild animals?
A.She fed Green in Chengdu. B.She set up a wolf zoo.
C.She tracked packs of wolves. D.She used films as a medium.
【答案】1.C 2.C 3.B 4.D
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了画家李微漪救助狼崽并推动野生动物保护的经历。
1.推理判断题。根据第一段“A young artist sketching in remote grasslands met a wounded wolf cub, and did not expect that this incident had rewritten her fate.(一位在偏远草原写生的年轻艺术家遇到了一只受伤的狼崽,没想到这件事改写了她的命运。)”以及后文她救助狼崽、投身野生动物保护的经历可知,这次意外相遇让她获得了新的人生目标。故选C项。
2.主旨大意题。根据第二段“At that time, Li Weiyi happened to hear the story of the wolf king from the mouths of the herders. The she-wolf had just given birth to a litter of wolf cubs, and the wolf king ran out to hunt for her, but unfortunately mistakenly fell into the herders’ trap and was eventually killed. The she-wolf was fatally poisoned and died as well.(那时,李微漪从牧民口中偶然听到了狼王的故事。母狼刚生下一窝狼崽,狼王出去为它捕猎,不幸误入牧民的陷阱,最终被杀死。母狼也中毒身亡。)”可知,第二段主要讲述了狼崽格林被收养的背景故事。故选C项。
3.词句猜测题。根据划线单词下文的内容“usually feeding it live animals, and cultivating its hunting skills.(通常给它喂食活物,培养它的捕猎技能。)”可知,李微漪给格林喂食活物,培养它的捕猎技能肯定是为了保留格林的天性。所以retained在这里的意思是“保留”,与kept含义相近。故选B项。
4.细节理解题。根据第四段“In order to save the northwest wolves like Green and arouse people’s attention and protection of wild animals, Li Weiyi turned her story into the book Let Me Accompany You Back to the Wolves, and later made the videos she had shot for Green into documentaries named Back to the Wolf Pack.(为了拯救像格林这样的西北狼,唤起人们对野生动物的关注和保护,李微漪把她的故事写成了《让我陪你重返狼群》一书,后来又把她为格林拍摄的视频制作成了名为《重返狼群》的纪录片。)”可知,李微漪以电影为媒介影响他人保护野生动物。故选D项。
Passage 3
(2026·吉林·二模)
Hunter never thought she’d total her car. But in 2021, she stood by the remainder (残骸) of her 2008 Nissan Versa on the Dallas Highway, grateful to be alive.
Hunter had promised herself that when she graduated and moved to downtown Dallas, she’d get rid of her car. The accident sped up her timeline. Now, the 28-year-old is one of more than 200,000 Dallasites using Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) to make their everyday commute (通勤).
In order to cut costs, Colorado, a software developer, sold his car. When he owned a car, Colorado said he spent around $450 a month on payments and insurance alone. On top of that, he paid for gas, maintenance, and more — making his car expenses well above twice the amount he pays without one, he said.
In 2022, DART made updates to its bus network that made using public transportation a lot easier for some riders, like Colorado. But no matter how DART develops, riding public transportation takes some amount of pre-planning based on bus and train schedules, Colorado said. His advice for new riders is: “Don’t give up when things get difficult.”
Riding DART is more environmentally conscious, too, Hunter said, and she regularly runs into several of her neighbors while on transit.
For Hunter, living without a car gives her peace from the stress of traffic and has helped her mental stability.
“At the end of a workday, you can enjoy the process of getting home.” Hunter said.
Colorado said he takes the time he would be driving to read on the train, observe the world around him, explore his neighborhood, or meet someone new.
“You learn to see, appreciate, and soak in the value of taking a little time,” Colorado said. “It’s more about the journey than the destination. I think there’s a philosophy to it that you start to learn.”
1.What made Hunter use public transport earlier than planned?
A.A serious car crash.
B.Her move to downtown Dallas.
C.Her graduation from university.
D.The high cost of car maintenance.
2.What can be learned about DART from the text?
A.It advocates a low-carbon transportation.
B.It’s the primary cause of reduced car ownership.
C.It has flexible schedules tailored for its users.
D.It has been improved to better serve its users.
3.What do both Hunter and Colorado appreciate about their new lifestyle?
A.The chance to make more friends.
B.The stability of the public transport system.
C.The personal time gained during the commute.
D.The positive comments from their neighbors.
4.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A.When the Car Is Gone, the Journey Begins
B.A Crash That Changed Dallas Traffic
C.DART’s New Routes Win Riders Back
D.Commute Options in Modern Cities
【答案】1.A 2.D 3.C 4.A
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,通过亨特和科罗拉多两位达拉斯居民的经历,讲述了他们放弃私家车、选择达拉斯地区快速交通系统(DART)通勤的原因与收获,展现了无车生活带来的经济、环境与精神层面的积极改变。
1.细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Hunter never thought she’d total her car. But in 2021, she stood by the remainder of her 2008 Nissan Versa on the Dallas Highway, grateful to be alive.(亨特从未想过自己的车会彻底报废。可在 2021 年,她却站在达拉斯高速公路旁,看着自己那辆 2008 款日产骐达的残骸,心中满是劫后余生的庆幸)和第二段中的“Hunter had promised herself that when she graduated and moved to downtown Dallas, she’d get rid of her car. The accident sped up her timeline(亨特曾承诺自己,等毕业搬到达拉斯市中心后就把车卖掉。这场事故加快了她的计划进程)可知,一场严重的车祸让亨特比原计划更早地开始使用公共交通。故选A项。
2.细节理解题。根据第四段中的“In 2022, DART made updates to its bus network that made using public transportation a lot easier for some riders, like Colorado(2022年,DART对其公交网络进行了升级,这让科罗拉多等乘客的公共交通出行变得便利了许多)”可知,DART经过了优化升级,以便更好地为使用者服务。故选D项。
3.推理判断题。根据第七段亨特的表述“At the end of a workday, you can enjoy the process of getting home(在工作日结束时,你可以享受回家的过程),以及第八段科罗拉多的做法“he takes the time he would be driving to read on the train, observe the world around him, explore his neighborhood, or meet someone new. (他把原本开车的时间用来在火车上阅读、观察周围的世界、探索自家周边街区,或是结识新朋友)可知,两人都很欣赏这种新生活方式中通勤途中所获得的个人时光。故选C项。
4.主旨大意题。通读全文,亨特因车祸提前开启无车生活,科罗拉多为节约开支卖掉汽车,两人都选择了DART通勤,并且都在通勤的过程中收获了乐趣与感悟,正如最后一段科罗拉多所说“It’s more about the journey than the destination(重要的是旅途本身,而非目的地)”。A项“当汽车远去,旅途才真正开始”既点明了“放弃私家车”的核心事件,又契合文中“享受通勤过程”的主旨。为最佳标题。故选A项。
Passage 4
(2026·辽宁沈阳·二模)
Peter Frank, a canoeist, planned to row a canoe (皮划艇) to complete a6,000-mile journey along the Great Loop. He estimated it would take him a total of 17 months.
Frank launched his trip on June 27 in Escanaba, Michigan, where he’s from, and now he has arrived at the Chesapeake Bay in Maryland in his 1982Sawyer Loon canoe. He has finished about a quarter of his planned journey, so he’s still got a long way to go. He says nature is his biggest competitor. He’ll have to complete the Great Loop by next November, due to a natural deadline set by the freezing of the lakes he’ll need to cross.
For Frank, the journey is largely a way to express his gratitude for still being alive and having the ability to take on the physical challenge, almost a decade after a car accident which left him with 14 broken bones and nearly paralyzed (瘫痪的). Frank had made long-distance trips by bicycle, unicycle and canoe before. “These adventures are not only my college and my education, but they’re my forms of showing my gratitude to the world for being alive and being able to walk and do the things that I can do,” he says.
“Contrary to what most people think, it doesn’t cost much to travel, especially when you eliminate plane tickets, gas, property and accommodations like hotels or restaurants,” he says. “Is this comfortable? Absolutely not, but through the struggles of following my dream with little to nothing, I’ve developed the capacity to enjoy less, and as a result, I live well with little,” he adds.
He also describes the trip as a journey in self-discovery. It’s very hard to picture where he will be three years from now, as he’s still young and growing, but he’s hoping that on this very long journey of self-discovery, he’ll perhaps find that.
1.What can we know about Frank’s journey?
A.He uses a modern canoe. B.The journey will take one year.
C.He started in June in Michigan. D.The journey has been completed.
2.Why is the journey significant to Frank?
A.He can break a record. B.He can find a new home.
C.He wants to win a competition. D.He wants to show appreciation for life.
3.What does the underlined word “eliminate” in paragraph 4 mean?
A.Dismiss. B.Admit. C.Remark. D.Possess.
4.What message does the author want to show in the last paragraph?
A.Uncertainty of the future. B.Value of personal growth.
C.The discovery of travelling. D.The importance of planning.
【答案】1.C 2.D 3.A 4.B

1.细节理解题。根据第二段“Frank launched his trip on June 27 in Escanaba, Michigan, where he’s from, and now he has arrived at the Chesapeake Bay in Maryland in his 1982 Sawyer Loon canoe.(弗兰克于6月27日从家乡密歇根州的埃斯卡纳巴出发,现在他乘坐1982年的索耶潜鸟皮划艇抵达了马里兰州的切萨皮克湾)”可知,弗兰克于6月在密歇根州开始了他的旅程。故选C。
2.细节理解题。根据第三段“For Frank, the journey is largely a way to express his gratitude for still being alive and having the ability to take on the physical challenge, almost a decade after a car accident which left him with 14 broken bones and nearly paralyzed (瘫痪的).(对弗兰克来说,这次旅行在很大程度上是为了表达他对仍然活着的感激之情,以及在近十年前的一场车祸后,他仍有能力接受身体上的挑战,那场车祸导致他14根骨头骨折,几乎瘫痪)”可知,这次旅行对弗兰克来说意义重大是因为他想表达对生活的感激之情。故选D。
3.词句猜测题。根据画线词前文“Contrary to what most people think, it doesn’t cost much to travel(与大多数人所想的相反,旅行并不需要花费太多钱)”可知,弗兰克认为当你省去机票、汽油、财产以及酒店或餐馆等住宿时,旅行就不会花费太多钱了,故画线词意思是“省去,排除”。故选A。
4.推理判断题。根据最后一段“He also describes the trip as a journey in self-discovery. It’s very hard to picture where he will be three years from now, as he’s still young and growing, but he’s hoping that on this very long journey of self-discovery, he’ll perhaps find that.(他还将这次旅行描述为一次自我发现的旅程。很难想象三年后他会是什么样子,因为他还很年轻,还在成长,但他希望在这段漫长的自我发现之旅中,他或许能找到答案)”可推知,作者在最后一段想表达的是旅程中个人成长的价值。故选B。
主题02 人与自我
Passage 1
(2026·黑龙江齐齐哈尔·二模)
Two years ago, 50-year-old Tamsin convinced herself that she had simply outgrown mountain climbing. For over a decade, she had spent her weekends following the narrow paths that wound through the peaks above her small town — until suddenly, she stopped. Her boots remained by the door, their soles (鞋底) still marked with dried mud from a hike she’d abandoned halfway. She said she was too occupied, yet it wasn’t the truth.
What began as a love for open ridges (山脊) had somehow transformed into something heavier. She’d study the maps late at night, look over routes she no longer allowed herself to attempt, and check the weather forecasts repeatedly, as though preparing for a journey she never intended to begin. The habits remained, but the act itself froze. She blamed her schedule, her tiredness, the unreliable conditions of the paths — any explanation except the one that sat quietly beneath them all.
Her younger brother, a geologist named Solen, finally handed her a different possibility. “You’re not avoiding the climb,” he said gently. “You’re avoiding the possibility that you might not be the same person who once loved it.”
That afternoon, Tamsin drove to the base of the oldest path she knew. She sat in the car for forty-seven minutes before stepping out. She told herself she’d walk only until the first switchback. When she reached it, she kept going with a kind of determination. Her breath came unevenly at first, and her legs reminded her of months of stillness. Yet somewhere above the tree line, surrounded by late-afternoon light, she realized her fear had been regret — regret for the version of herself who’d once moved through these mountains easily.
By the time she returned, the sun had set. She understood then that courage had never been the absence of being afraid; it’d been the willingness to walk anyway, even when the person she’d been felt so far behind her. The boots by the door no longer seemed like a judgment. They were simply waiting.
1.What kind of person was the 40-year-old Tamsin?
A.Busy. B.Active. C.Ambitious. D.Cautious.
2.What does the author try to show about Tamsin in paragraph 2?
A.She hid away from her real issue. B.She told small lies to protect herself.
C.She kept preparing but never acted. D.She buried her fear behind daily habits.
3.What did Tamsin finally recognize as the root of her avoidance?
A.Loss of physical strength. B.Worry over the mountain paths.
C.Sorrow for her former self. D.Pressure from her brother.
4.What lesson can we learn from Tamsin’s story?
A.Accepting change helps one succeed.
B.Moving forward despite fear matters.
C.Letting go of the past brings freedom.
D.Acknowledging loss means true courage.
【答案】1.B 2.A 3.C 4.B
【导语】主要讲述塔姆辛一度放弃热爱的登山,在弟弟点醒后重新出发,领悟到勇气是心怀恐惧依然前行的故事。
1.推理判断题。根据第一段中的“For over a decade, she had spent her weekends following the narrow paths that wound through the peaks above her small town — until suddenly, she stopped. (十多年来,她周末都沿着小镇上方山峰间蜿蜒的小径登山,直到突然停下了脚步。)”可知,40岁时的塔姆辛经常登山,是一个活跃好动的人。
2.细节理解题。根据第二段中的“She blamed her schedule, her tiredness, the unreliable conditions of the paths — any explanation except the one that sat quietly beneath them all. (她归咎于日程繁忙、身体疲惫、路况不稳,找了各种理由,却唯独回避了心底真正的原因。)”可知,作者想表明塔姆辛一直在逃避自己真正的问题。
3.细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Yet somewhere above the tree line, surrounded by late-afternoon light, she realized her fear had been regret — regret for the version of herself who’d once moved through these mountains easily. (然而在林木线以上的某处,沐浴在傍晚的阳光中,她意识到自己的恐惧其实是遗憾——遗憾那个曾经轻松穿梭在群山间的自己。)”可知,塔姆辛最终发现自己逃避的根源是对过去自己的惋惜。
4.推理判断题。通读全文,尤其是最后一段中的“She understood then that courage had never been the absence of being afraid; it’d been the willingness to walk anyway, even when the person she’d been felt so far behind her.(那时她才明白,勇气从来不是不害怕,而是即便感到曾经的自己已远去,依然愿意继续向前走。)”可知,我们能从故事中学到:即便心怀恐惧,依然选择前行才最重要。
Passage 2
(2026·吉林·二模)
Travelling didn’t just expand my world; it lit a creative spark in me that I hadn’t known. Between airport coffee and mountain sunsets, I started to write. At first, it was to remember the places, people and meals. But soon, the words became more than memories: The careless and untidy writing turned into sentences, the sentences into stories. Writing became a way to relive the magic and share it. Slowly, my confidence grew.
In 2023, as a 55-year-old woman, I decided to start a new journey, but this time, it did not involve travelling. Instead, it was a journey of learning. I took the leap and applied for a BA (Hons) in English Literature and Creative Writing through Burnley College University Courses. It felt like stepping into the unknown. I told myself not to get my hopes up. So, when that acceptance came through, the news felt too surreal to sink in at once — I was going to university.
It wasn’t easy at first. I felt like a fish out of water on my first day. But now, I’ve found my rhythm. I’ve rediscovered who I am and who I want to be. I’m shaping a future that is entirely my own, and I’m doing it with my words. I am living in a world I never imagined I could be part of. I am developing my writing skills and embracing this new creative journey.
And so, my journey continues — one that connects the joys of travel with the transforming power of learning. While I am unsure of the destination, I know it will lead me to some extraordinary places. I look forward to the stories yet to be written and the journeys yet to be taken.
If there is one thing I’ve learned, it’s this: Stepping out of your comfort zone gets more rewarding with age. My journey may have started with countries, but now it carries me to learning. And I can’t wait to see where life takes me next.
1.Why did the author start writing?
A.To improve her self-confidence. B.To share her stories with others.
C.To refresh her previous memories. D.To record her travel experiences.
2.How did the author feel about being accepted by the university?

3.What does university education mean to the author?
A.A new self-shaping journey. B.A tough personal challenge.
C.A childhood long-held dream. D.A way to become ordinary.
4.What does the author’s experience show?
A.Comfort zone offers safety. B.Writing fixes our troubles.
C.Age never limits growth. D.Travel is the best teacher.

Passage 3
(2026·内蒙古乌兰察布市·二模)
Ruth Minhall’s pathway into education was untraditional. Owing to her ADHD (多动症) and difficulty in reading and spelling, she was frequently misunderstood and underestimated. Teachers criticized her unusual way of thinking, and her confidence as a student decreased. However, Ruth didn’t give up. Instead, she developed strategies to succeed, such as reading her work aloud to improve grammar and flow, which contributed to her exam success.
These experiences convinced her that barriers can become stepping stones to growth. That belief continues to guide her leadership today and inspires the philosophy behind Tuition Extra: learning should be adaptable, solution-focused, and centered on individual strengths.
As an adult, Ruth once worked internationally as a singer and recording artist, pursued journalism, and finally became a teacher at Borden Grammar School in Sittingbourne. Just in the classroom, she discovered her ability to connect with students at risk of exclusion (排斥).
Although Ruth enjoyed teaching, she realized that traditional routes within education weren’t economically sustainable for her as a single mother. So she created a part-time tutoring business that would later grow into Tuition Extra Group. Rapidly, parents and schools recognized Ruth’s unique solution-focused approach, which prioritized addressing unmet needs rather than punishing troubled behaviors. The impact wasn’t limited to academic achievement. Students also gained confidence and a renewed sense of belonging.
In 2013, Ruth decided to devote herself fully to the business. Today, Tuition Extra is a dynamic organization combining education with vocational (职业的) opportunities. It supports children and young adults aged 4-25 who might otherwise struggle to succeed in mainstream education.
For Ruth, leadership is about taking responsibility and continuously learning. She describes failure not as weakness but as growth. Students, staff, and leaders alike are encouraged to see mistakes as opportunities for learning. Her organization stands as proof that every child, regardless of their challenges, has the potential to succeed when educated with love and creativity.
1.What can be inferred about Ruth’s early school years?
A.They were shaped by a variety of challenges. B.They were filled with regular celebrations.
C.They prevented her identifying her later path. D.They exposed her to an inspiring campus culture.
2.What is implied about Ruth in paragraph 3?
A.Her philosophy kept developing. B.Her talent for art was recognized.
C.Her career was equally diverse. D.Her devotion to education was touching.
3.What mainly motivated Ruth to start her tutoring business?
A.Requests from numerous parents. B.Her financial needs and personal insight.
C.Her ambition to transform education. D.Encouragement from school leaders.
4.What is probably Ruth’s teaching philosophy?
A.One-size-fits-all teaching should be prioritized.
B.Community-driven approaches bring fast success.
C.Tailored education is about fitting in.
D.All children deserve the opportunity to grow.
【答案】1.A 2.C 3.B 4.D

4.细节理解题。根据最后一段“Her organization stands as proof that every child, regardless of their challenges, has the potential to succeed when educated with love and creativity. (她的组织证明,每一个孩子,无论面临什么挑战,只要在爱和创造力的教育下,都有成功的潜力)”可知,露丝的教学理念是所有的孩子都应该有成长的机会。故选D项
Passage 4
(2026·黑龙江省龙东十校联盟·二模)
By my early 40s, I had exhausted all the hobbies supposed to make me feel better about entering middle age. At the height of my desperation, I decided to sign up for a ballet class.
“But you’re not very flexible,” my husband gently reminded me. He wasn’t wrong. I nearly injured myself when trying to stretch my leg. Also, my track record for committing to physical activity wasn’t great.
But I was determined to give it a try. I needed confirmation that my body was capable of movement and grace.
Before leaving the house for my first ballet class for adults, I hadn’t expected any of it to stick. But this time, the exact same things that had made me flee the studio as a 10-year-old now brought a certain joy.
When I expressed disappointment with my lack of grace in practising simple acts, my teacher reminded me ballet isn’t about perfection. Rather, it’s about striving for perfection. As a writer arguing sentences all day hoping they will approach the beautiful, perfect construct in her mind, this felt like the best, most fierce writing advice.
Slowly, I felt more comfortable with the body I saw staring back at me in the mirror. And the idea that my body is still a work in progress encourages me. If anything, ballet is forcing me to rethink my relationship with my body. As for the imperfections? They’re part of being alive.
Eight years into my ballet classes, I’m a lifelong advanced beginner. Recently, my teacher taught us a beginner-appropriate version of the Rose Adagio from Sleeping Beauty. As I stood in my living room, balancing shakily and dancing for nobody but myself, I felt every inch a ballerina.
1.Why did the author learn ballet in her middle age?
A.To provide support to her ballet instructor.
B.To cultivate inspiration for her writing career.
C.To participate in a personally fulfilling activity.
D.To demonstrate her continuing physical capabilities.
2.How did the author probably feel about ballet as a child?
A.Terrified. B.Interested. C.Relieved. D.Determined.
3.What kind of person is the author?
A.Curious and mild. B.Strict yet indecisive.
C.Negative yet honest. D.Determined and open-minded.
4.What does ballet teach the author?
A.Enjoy the journey of becoming a better self.
B.It’s acceptable to forgive herself for not trying.
C.Physical flexibility comes first for the middle-aged.
D.One shouldn’t stop striving for personal achievements.
【答案】1.D 2.A 3.D 4.A
【导语】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。语篇讲述了一位中年作家在芭蕾艺术中探寻自我、突破焦虑的心路历程,突出认识自我、丰富自我、完善自我的核心价值引领。
1.细节理解题。根据第三段“I needed confirmation that my body was capable of movement and grace.(我需要确认我的身体是否有能力运动和优雅)”可知,作者中年学习芭蕾是为了证明自我依然保持良好的身体素质。故选D。
2.推理判断题。根据第四段“But this time, the exact same things that had made me flee the studio as a 10-year-old now brought a certain joy.(但这一次,让我在10岁时逃离工作室的同样的事情,现在带来了某种快乐)”可知,芭蕾舞曾让幼年的作者感到畏惧。故选A。
3.推理判断题。根据第一段作者不断尝试缓解中年焦虑的各种尝试、第三段“But I was determined to give it a try.(但我决心要试一试)”、第七段“Eight years into my ballet classes, I’m a lifelong advanced beginner.(上了八年芭蕾课,我是一个终生的高级初学者)”可知,作者自从决心尝试芭蕾舞后,坚持学习八年,并保持着资深初学者的状态,不轻言放弃;同时根据第五段“As a writer arguing sentences all day hoping they will approach the beautiful, perfect construct in her mind, this felt like the best, most fierce writing advice.(作为一个整天争论句子的作家,希望它们能在她的脑海中接近美丽、完美的结构,这感觉是最好、最激烈的写作建议)”可知,作为一个终日与文字为伴的作家,作者不断推敲语句,渴望它们能接近心中那个完美而优雅的构想。芭蕾舞老师的一席话,无疑是作者所获得的最有力、最犀利的写作箴言。因此作者保持着开放包容的心态,不断接纳新观点并内化为己用。故选D。
4.推理判断题。根据第五段“When I expressed disappointment with my lack of grace in practising simple acts, my teacher reminded me ballet isn’t about perfection. Rather, it’s about striving for perfection.(当我对自己在练习简单动作时不够优雅表示失望时,老师提醒我芭蕾不是追求完美。相反,它是关于追求完美)”、第六段“And the idea that my body is still a work in progress encourages me. If anything, ballet is forcing me to rethink my relationship with my body. As for the imperfections? They’re part of being alive.(我的身体仍在不断完善,这一想法鼓励了我。如果说有什么不同的话,那就是芭蕾迫使我重新思考我和身体的关系。至于瑕疵呢?它们是生命的一部分)”、第七段“As I stood in my living room, balancing shakily and dancing for nobody but myself, I felt every inch a ballerina.(当我站在客厅里,摇摇晃晃地保持平衡,只为自己跳舞时,我觉得自己的每一寸都是芭蕾舞演员)”可知,当作者因练习基础动作时缺乏优雅而沮丧时,老师提醒芭蕾的真谛不在于追求完美,而在于追求完美的过程。而作者身体仍在成长的事实,给予她莫大鼓舞,促使她重新审视与自身身体的关系,认识到不完美恰恰是生命存在的证明。当作者独自在客厅里,颤颤巍巍地保持平衡、翩翩起舞时,她感受到了一个真正的芭蕾舞者的全部荣光。故通过芭蕾的学习,作者领悟到:与其困囿于对年龄与衰老的焦虑,不如坦然接纳生命中的不完美,在当下尽情绽放自我。故选A
Passage 5
(2026·内蒙古·二模)
Growing up, I disliked writing. It was the last thing I wanted to do and it’s one reason why I pursued science in the first place. In high school, I hated writing essays. For hours, I stared at blank pages, trying to turn my disordered thoughts into fluent sentences and I often received papers marked with lots of corrections. I began to wonder if I was simply not cut out for writing. And that was OK. I didn’t have to be good at everything.
I focused instead on my love for math and science. I took comfort there, knowing objective truth could be found if I searched methodically. In college, I studied engineering and joined a research lab to gain hands-on experience. My first project was to improve the efficiency of a magnetic component. Despite initial disappointing results, I continued through many designs. Eventually, we developed a design that halved energy losses. I was delighted — until my professor told me to write that research paper.
I knew that if I wanted to become a researcher, I would need to spend time penning papers. But I was scared of failing. In a panic, I asked a graduate student in my lab for help. We set a goal for the paper, and I carefully wrote an outline. But when I asked him for feedback (反馈), I soon found the paper covered in red marks. He explained that red didn’t mean I was a bad writer. Writing isn’t a one-and-done thing. It requires revising your work, often several times. Suddenly it occurred to me, “Hadn’t I done the same thing when I was searching for an efficient design?”
I polished my paper’s outline into sentences and paragraphs, guided by feedback. Though my first draft wasn’t perfect, with help, I enjoyed the process of improving it. Writing has since become one of my favorite parts of research, helping me organize my thoughts. I’ve even started writing popular science articles, which I never could have imagined during my early struggles with essays.
1.Which of the following best describes the author’s initial attitude toward writing?
A.A walk in the park. B.A storm in a teacup.
C.A nut hard to break. D.A feather in one’s cap.
2.Which is closest in meaning to the underlined word “penning” in paragraph 3?
A.Collecting. B.Reviewing. C.Composing. D.Polishing.
3.What did the author learn from his writing and research?
A.Both require trial and error. B.Both need inspiration and teamwork.
C.Both are about following fixed rules. D.Both are stressful and time-consuming.
4.What is the author’s attitude toward writing now?
A.Bored. B.Uncaring. C.Ambiguous. D.Enthusiastic.
【答案】1.C 2.C 3.A 4.D
【导语】这是一篇记叙文,讲述作者从讨厌写作到在他人帮助下逐渐爱上写作的经历。作者通过科研与写作的类比,领悟到写作需要反复修改,最终将写作变为研究中喜爱的部分。
1.推理判断。根据文章第一段“It was the last thing I wanted to do and it’s one reason why I pursued science in the first place. In high school, I hated writing essays. For hours, I stared at blank pages, trying to turn my disordered thoughts into fluent sentences and I often received papers marked with lots of corrections(那是我最不愿意做的事情,也是我最初选择追求科学的原因之一。在高中时,我非常讨厌写论文。常常几个小时盯着空白的纸张,试图把我杂乱无章的想法变成流畅的句子,而且我的论文上常常满是批改的痕迹)”可知,作者最初认为写作困难重重,选项C“A nut hard to break(难啃的坚果)”表示的含义符合语境,故选C。
2.词义猜测题。根据画线词下文“We set a goal for the paper, and I carefully wrote an outline. But when I asked him for feedback (反馈), I soon found the paper covered in red marks. He explained that red didn’t mean I was a bad writer. Writing isn’t a one-and-done thing. It requires revising your work, often several times(我们为这篇论文设定了一个目标,我仔细地撰写了大纲。但当我请他给予反馈时,很快就发现论文上满是红色的批注。他解释说,红色标记并不意味着我写得不好。写作不是一次性就能完成的事情,它需要反复修改,往往要多次才行)”可知,此处说的是有关撰写论文的话题,可推理出划线词的含义为“撰写”。故选C。
3.推理判断题。根据第三段“He explained that red didn’t mean I was a bad writer. Writing isn’t a one-and-done thing. It requires revising your work, often several times. Suddenly it occurred to me, “Hadn’t I done the same thing when I was searching for an efficient design?”(他解释说,红色标记并不意味着我写得不好。写作不是一次性就能完成的事情,它需要反复修改,往往要多次才行。突然我想到:“我在寻找高效设计方案时,不也是做了同样的事情吗?”)” 可知,作者被告知写作不是一次性就能完成的事情,它需要反复修改,往往要多次才行,作者从中意识到自己在寻找高效设计方案时,也是做了同样的事情,可推理出作者意识到两者都需要反复尝试和修正,故选A项。
4.推理判断题。根据最后一段“Writing has since become one of my favorite parts of research, helping me organize my thoughts. I’ve even started writing popular science articles, which I never could have imagined during my early struggles with essays(写作自此之后成为了我研究中最喜欢的部分之一,它帮助我整理思绪。我甚至开始撰写科普文章,这在我早年为论文挣扎时是根本无法想象的)”可知,写作自此之后成为了作者研究中最喜欢的部分之一,可推理出作者现在对写作充满热情。故选D项。
主题01 人与社会
Passage 1
(2026·吉林长春·二模)
For years, I viewed my grandfather’s vineyard (葡萄园) as a chain tying me to a forgotten past. Every summer vacation felt like a sentence. The air smelled of damp earth and pesticide, a sharp contrast to the clean, digital scent of my city life. I counted down the days until my escape, the quiet countryside feeling not peaceful, but empty and slow.
The change began with the arrival of a young agricultural scientist, Miss Li, from the county’s new “Rural Revitalization” project. She brought not just new organic fertilizers, but a tablet full of colorful soil analysis charts. My grandfather listened with polite skepticism, his face a mask of weathered tradition. Out of boredom, I started wandering around them. I was surprised to find myself inspired. I began translating the technical terms on the tablet into our local dialect for Grandpa, and explaining his decades of wisdom to Miss Li. A tiny spark (火花) of curiosity lit up where there was once only dullness.
One afternoon, a sudden hailstorm threatened the ripening grapes. Panic seized me — not for myself, but for the vines we had grown. Miss Li showed us satellite weather tracking on her phone, predicting the storm’s path. For the first time, I didn’t see technology as an enemy of this place, but as its friends. A fierce sense of protection, mixed with a new-found awe, warmed me from within. I was no longer just an observer; I got involved.
The autumn harvest was a success of this unlikely partnership. Grandfather placed a heavy hand on my shoulder. “This harvest,” he said, his voice thick with emotion, “has your mark on it.” A profound pride, deep and solid, settled in my chest. I finally understood that my growth wasn’t about escaping this land, but about enriching it. The vineyard was no longer my chain; it had become my canvas. In helping to revive its roots, I had discovered my own.
1.What did the author initially think of his summer at the vineyard?
A.A burden. B.A reward. C.A lesson. D.An entertainment.
2.What changed the author’s view of the vineyard?
A.Miss Li’s suggestion. B.His grandfather’s persuasion.
C.His involvement in the vineyard. D.The new “Rural Revitalization” project.
3.What does “canvas” in the last paragraph symbolize?
A.The freedom of modern urban life.
B.A material for recording one’s experience.
C.The transition between tradition and modernity.
D.A platform for realizing one’s potential and value.
4.Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text?
A.From Chain to Canvas: My Growth in the Vineyard
B.A Summer Escape: From City Life to the Countryside
C.An Exciting Success: the “Rural Revitalization” Project
D.The Lasting Conflict: Traditional Wisdom vs Modern Tech
【答案】1.A 2.C 3.D 4.A
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述作者从厌恶祖父的葡萄园,到参与乡村振兴相关事务,最终在这片土地上实现自我成长与价值认同。
1.推理判断题。根据第一段中的“For years, I viewed my grandfather’s vineyard (葡萄园) as a chain tying me to a forgotten past. Every summer vacation felt like a sentence. (多年来,我把祖父的葡萄园看作是束缚我、让我困在被遗忘的过去的锁链。每个暑假都像是一种惩罚。)”可知,作者最初把在葡萄园的夏天当作一种负担。故选A项。
2.推理判断题。根据第二段中的“I began translating the technical terms on the tablet into our local dialect for Grandpa, and explaining his decades of wisdom to Miss Li.(我开始把平板上的专业术语用我们的方言翻译给爷爷听,同时也把爷爷积攒了几十年的经验智慧讲解给李小姐。)”和第三段中的“I was no longer just an observer; I got involved.(我不再只是一个旁观者,而是参与了进来。)”以及后续经历可知,作者亲身参与到葡萄园的事务中,这改变了他对葡萄园的看法。故选C项。
3.推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“I finally understood that my growth wasn’t about escaping this land, but about enriching it. The vineyard was no longer my chain; it had become my canvas. In helping to revive its roots, I had discovered my own.(我终于明白,我的成长不是逃离这片土地,而是去丰富它。葡萄园不再是我的锁链,它成了我的画布。在帮助它重焕生机的过程中,我也找到了自己的根。)”可知,作者在葡萄园里实现了自我价值,找到了成长的方向,因此canvas(画布)象征着实现个人潜能与价值的平台。故选D项。
4.主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第一段中的 “For years, I viewed my grandfather’s vineyard as a chain tying me to a forgotten past.(多年来,我一直把祖父的葡萄园看作是束缚我、让我困在被遗忘过去的锁链。)”和最后一段中的“The vineyard was no longer my chain; it had become my canvas. (葡萄园不再是束缚我的锁链,它成了我的画布。)”可知,文章以作者对葡萄园的情感变化为线索,从一开始视其为束缚自己的锁链,到最后将其看作施展自我的画布,完整展现了作者在葡萄园中的成长历程,因此“从锁链到画布:我在葡萄园里的成长”最能概括全文核心,适合作为最佳标题。故选A项。

5summer vacation felt like a sentence. The air smelled of damp earth and pesticide, a sharp contrast to the clean, digital scent of my city life. I counted down the days until my escape, the quiet countryside feeling not peaceful, but empty and slow.
The change began slightly, with the arrival of a young agronomist (农学家), Miss Li, from the county’s new “Rural Revitalization” project. She brought not just new organic fertilizers, but a tablet full of colorful soil analysis charts. My grandfather listened with a mixture of doubts and curiosity. Out of boredom, I was wandering around when I found myself interested. I began translating the technical terms on the tablet into our local dialect for Grandpa, and explaining his decades of wisdom to Miss Li. A tiny spark of curiosity lit up where there was once only dullness.
One afternoon, a sudden storm threatened the ripening grapes. Panic surged through me — not for myself, but for the vines we had nurtured. Miss Li showed us satellite weather tracking on her phone, predicting the storm’s path. For the first time, I didn’t see technology as an enemy of this place, but as its friend. A fierce sense of protection, mixed with a new-found awe, warmed me from within. I was no longer just an observer; I felt invested.
The autumn harvest was a success of this unlikely partnership. Grandfather placed a heavy hand on my shoulder. “This harvest,” he said, his voice thick with emotion, “has your mark on it.” A pride, deep and solid, settled in my chest. I finally understood that my growth wasn’t about escaping this land, but about enriching it. The vineyard was no longer my chain; it had become my canvas. In helping to revive its roots, I had discovered my own.
1.How did the author initially think of his summer at the vineyard?
A.As a valuable social practice. B.As a lesson on agricultural skills.
C.As a boring and unpleasant duty. D.As a relaxing escape from city noise.
2.What changed the author’s view of the vineyard?
A.Miss Li’s suggestion. B.His grandfather’s persuasion.
C.The new “Rural Revitalization” project. D.His involvement and contribution to the vineyard.

【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者最初反感在祖父葡萄园度过的暑假,后来在农学家到来后,通过亲身参与和运用现代知识帮助祖父,最终在葡萄园找到归属感和自我价值的故事。
1.推理判断题。根据第一段“For years, I viewed my grandfather’s vineyard (葡萄园) as a chain tying me to a forgotten past. Every summer vacation felt like a sentence. The air smelled of damp earth and pesticide, a sharp contrast to the clean, digital scent of my city life. I counted down the days until my escape, the quiet countryside feeling not peaceful, but empty and slow. (多年来,我一直把祖父的葡萄园看作是一条将我束缚在被遗忘的过去的锁链。每个暑假都像是一种煎熬。空气中弥漫着潮湿的泥土和农药的味道,与我城市生活中干净、数字化的气息形成了鲜明对比。我数着日子,直到逃离的那一天,宁静的乡村感觉并不平静,而是空虚而缓慢)”可知,作者最初认为在葡萄园的暑假是无聊且不愉快的。故选C。
2.推理判断题。根据第二段“Out of boredom, I was wandering around when I found myself interested. I began translating the technical terms on the tablet into our local dialect for Grandpa, and explaining his decades of wisdom to Miss Li. A tiny spark of curiosity lit up where there was once only dullness.(出于无聊,我四处闲逛,突然发现自己很感兴趣。我开始把平板上的专业术语翻译成我们当地的方言给爷爷听,并向李小姐解释他几十年的智慧。在曾经只有沉闷的地方,一股小小的好奇心点燃了)”、第三段“For the first time, I didn’t see technology as an enemy of this place, but as its friend. A fierce sense of protection, mixed with a new-found awe, warmed me from within. I was no longer just an observer; I felt invested.(我第一次没有把技术视为这个地方的敌人,而是把它视为朋友。一种强烈的保护感,夹杂着一种新的敬畏感,从内心温暖了我。我不再只是一个旁观者;我觉得投入精力了)”以及第四段““This harvest,” he said, his voice thick with emotion, “has your mark on it.” A pride, deep and solid, settled in my chest. I finally understood that my growth wasn’t about escaping this land, but about enriching it. The vineyard was no longer my chain; it had become my canvas. In helping to revive its roots, I had discovered my own. (“这次收获,”他说,声音里充满了感情,“上面有你的印记。”一种深沉而坚定的自豪,扎根在我的胸膛里。我终于明白,我的成长不是要逃离这片土地,而是要丰富它。葡萄园不再是我的锁链;它成了我的canvas。在帮助它重焕生机的过程中,我也发现了自己的根)”可知,作者从最初厌恶葡萄园,到后来主动投入精力,因收获得到爷爷的认可而感到自豪,这一系列变化的核心在于作者亲身参与并贡献了自己的力量。故选D。
3.推理判断题。根据第四段“I finally understood that my growth wasn’t about escaping this land, but about enriching it. The vineyard was no longer my chain; it had become my canvas. In helping to revive its roots, I had discovered my own. (我终于明白,我的成长不是要逃离这片土地,而是要丰富它。葡萄园不再是我的锁链;它成了我的画布。在帮助它重焕生机的过程中,我也发现了自己的根)”可知,作者通过参与葡萄园的工作,发现了自己的价值和潜力,葡萄园不再是束缚他的“锁链”,而成为了他施展才能、实现个人成长和价值的平台,所以“canvas”象征着实现个人潜力和价值的地方。故选C。
4.主旨大意题。文章讲述了作者从最初厌恶祖父的葡萄园,到后来通过参与乡村振兴项目、与农学家合作,最终理解并珍视这片土地的心路历程。结尾处作者点明主旨:我终于明白,我的成长不在于逃离这片土地,而在于丰富它。在帮助复兴它的根的过程中,我发现了自己的根。这表明作者的经历揭示了真正的个人成长源于对自身根源的理解与认同。故选B。
Passage 3
(2026·内蒙古·二模)
From “aquabob” to “zawn”, writer Robert Macfarlane’s collection of unusual, poetic words for nature creates a glossary (词汇表) we all can learn from.
Years ago, nature writer Robert Macfarlane discovered that the latest edition of the Oxford Junior Dictionary was missing a few things. Oxford University Press confirmed that indeed, a list of words had been removed, which the publisher felt were no longer relevant to a modern-day childhood. No more “heron”, “bluebell”, “buttercup”, “ivy” and “willow”, and in their place came the new kids on the block, words like “blog”, “chatroom”, “cut-and-paste”, “MP3 player” and “voice-mail”.
Inspired by the deleted words and in combination with a lifetime of collecting terms about place, Macfarlane set out to counter the trend by creating a glossary of his own.
“We lack something, that is, a gathering of terms for the land and its weather,” he wrote in a beautiful essay in the newspaper. “Terms used by crofters, fishermen, farmers, sailors, scientists, miners, climbers, soldiers, shepherds, poets, walkers, and unrecorded others for whom particularised ways of describing place have been vital to everyday practice and perception.”
And thus his book, Landmarks, was born. As a field guide of sorts to the language of the wild world and an ode to the places afforded to us by Mother Nature, it includes thousands of remarkable words used in England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales to describe land, nature, and weather.
For example, “honeyfur” refers to a five-year-old girl’ s creation to describe the soft seeds of grasses pinched between fingertips and “landskein” is a term coined by a painter in the Western Isles referring to the braid of blue horizon lines on a hazy (薄雾蒙蒙的) day.
“There are experiences of landscape that will always resist articulation (表达), and of which words offer only a distant echo. Light has no grammar. Language is always late for its subject,” Macfarlane says.
1.Why were words like “heron” and “bluebell” removed from the Oxford Junior Dictionary?
A.Because they were too difficult to learn.
B.Because they were misused too many times.
C.Because they were not preferred by children.
D.Because they were not relevant to the modern era.
2.According to Macfarlane, what did he need for his glossary?
A.A list of words removed from dictionaries.
B.A guidebook of the language used by different professions.
C.A collection of words describing land, nature, and weather.
D.A gathering of beautiful essays on the land and its weather.
3.What does Macfarlane mean in the last paragraph?
A.Language is a unique skill belonging to humans.
B.Nature won’t change even if humans give it names.
C.The power of nature is hard to express through language.
D.Humans can use their words to record the beauty of nature.
4.In which section of a magazine can you find this article?
A.Language. B.Travel. C.Business. D.Technology.
【答案】1.D 2.C 3.C 4.A
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了作家Robert Macfarlane收集自然词汇创作词汇表的事情。
1.细节理解题。根据第二段中“Oxford University Press confirmed that indeed, a list of words had been removed, which the publisher felt were no longer relevant to a modern-day childhood. (牛津大学出版社证实,确实有一系列词汇被删除,出版商认为这些词汇与现代童年不再相关。)”可知,“heron”和“bluebell”等词从《牛津初级词典》中被删除是因为它们与现代时代无关。故选D。
2.推理判断题。根据第四段““We lack something, that is, a gathering of terms for the land and its weather,” he wrote in a beautiful essay in the newspaper. “Terms used by crofters, fishermen, farmers, sailors, scientists, miners, climbers, soldiers, shepherds, poets, walkers, and unrecorded others for whom particularised ways of describing place have been vital to everyday practice and perception.” (他在报纸上一篇优美的文章中写道:“我们缺少了一些东西,那就是一系列用来描述土地及其天气状况的词汇。这些词汇是小农场主、渔民、农民、水手、科学家、矿工、登山者、士兵、牧羊人、诗人、徒步旅行者,以及其他未被记载的人所使用的,对于他们来说,用特定的方式描述地方对于日常实践和认知至关重要。”)”及第五段中“And thus his book, Landmarks, was born. As a field guide of sorts to the language of the wild world and an ode to the places afforded to us by Mother Nature, it includes thousands of remarkable words used in England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales to describe land, nature, and weather. (于是,他的著作《地标》诞生了。作为一本关于野外世界语言的某种实用指南,同时也是对大自然母亲赐予我们的那些地方的颂歌,这本书收录了在英格兰、苏格兰、爱尔兰和威尔士用来描述土地、自然和天气的数千个非凡词汇。)”可知,Macfarlane的词汇表需要收集描述土地、自然和天气的词汇。故选C。
3.推理判断题。根据最后一段““There are experiences of landscape that will always resist articulation (表达), and of which words offer only a distant echo. Light has no grammar. Language is always late for its subject,” Macfarlane says. (Macfarlane说:“有些风景的体验永远无法用语言表达,语言只能给出遥远的回声。光没有语法。语言总是滞后于它的主题。”)”可知,Macfarlane在最后一段的意思是自然的力量很难用语言来表达。故选C。
4.推理判断题。通读全文,尤其是根据第一段“From “aquabob” to “zawn”, writer Robert Macfarlane’s collection of unusual, poetic words for nature creates a glossary (词汇表) we all can learn from. (从“aquabob”到“zawn”,作家Robert Macfarlane收集的不寻常、富有诗意的自然词汇创造了一个我们都可以学习的词汇表。)”可知,文章主要介绍了作家Robert Macfarlane收集自然词汇创作词汇表的事情。可推知,文章可能选自杂志的“语言”部分。故选A

Passage 1
(2026·吉林白山·二模)
My undergraduate student needed advice after yet another failed experiment. Sitting across from me, she looked exhausted — frustrated even. I heard myself say, “This is part of research. You just have to push through.” But even as the words left my mouth, I felt uneasy. She nodded silently and shifted her posture. Afterward, she began showing up less frequently and eventually stopped coming altogether. I tried to explain it away: undergraduates sometimes get busy with coursework, lose interest or change direction, but deep down, I wondered what I could have done differently.
I became a mentor (导师) during my second year of Ph. D.but didn’t get much guidance on how to do it. I learned only by doing. There were moments I felt proud of. One student started out quiet and unsure, but over time grew into a most independent and confident young researcher. Before graduating, she told me, “You are the reason I stuck with this.” That moment stayed with me. But so did the other one — the silence, the absences, the slow fade-out. Had I failed her?
It wasn’t until the final year of my Ph. D.that I came across a leaflet for a mentorship training workshop. Skeptical at first, I decided to try it. The program, called Entering Mentoring, brought together graduate students for weekly discussions. For the first time, I had the space to explore the invisible labor and emotional complexity of mentoring. One session asked us to reflect on our own practices. I began to realize what might have been missing in my relationship with the student who had drifted away. I had never invited her to share her goals or concerns. I could have been more attentive to her unspoken struggles.
After the workshop, I began changing how I interacted with students. I now start by asking how they’re doing, not just experimental details. This shift has led to more honest conversations. I’ve learned that good mentors are built through reflection and training. I wish I’d attended that workshop earlier, but I’m grateful I did at all.
1.What primarily caused the student’s withdrawal according to paragraph 1?
A.Demanding research challenges. B.Heavy academic workload.
C.Unaddressed inner struggles. D.Repetitive failures in research.
2.Why did the author mention the change of another student?
A.To explain his own research breakthrough. B.To illustrate his lack of proper guidance.
C.To showcase his pride in her achievement. D.To highlight the contrast in mentoring outcomes.
3.What did the workshop mainly focus on?
A.Developing academic research skills.
B.Encouraging discussions among graduate students.
C.Exploring the interpersonal aspects of mentoring.
D.Demonstrating diverse personal mentoring approaches.
4.Which of the following can best describe the author?
A.Strict and intelligent. B.Disciplined but inexperienced.
C.Thoughtful but self-doubting. D.Responsible and reflective.
【答案】1.C 2.D 3.C 4.D
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者作为导师,因缺乏指导受挫,后通过培训反思并改变方法,体现其成长与担当。
1.细节理解题。根据第三段“I began to realize what might have been missing in my relationship with the student who had drifted away. I had never invited her to share her goals or concerns. I could have been more attentive to her unspoken struggles.(我开始意识到,在我和那个逐渐疏远的学生的关系中,可能缺少了些什么。我从未邀请她分享自己的目标或担忧。我本可以更关注她未说出口的挣扎。)”可知,学生退出的主要原因是未被关注的内心挣扎。故选C项。
2.推理判断题。根据第二段“One student started out quiet and unsure, but over time grew into a most independent and confident young researcher. Before graduating, she told me, “You are the reason I stuck with this.” That moment stayed with me. But so did the other one — the silence, the absences, the slow fade-out. (有一个学生一开始沉默寡言、缺乏自信,但随着时间的推移,她成长为一名非常独立和自信的年轻研究者。毕业前,她告诉我:“是你让我坚持了下来。”那一刻一直萦绕在我心头。但另一个时刻也同样萦绕在我心头——沉默、缺席、逐渐淡出。)”可知,作者提及另一位学生的转变,是为了对比两种不同的指导结果。故选D项。
3.细节理解题。根据第三段“The program, called Entering Mentoring, brought together graduate students for weekly discussions. For the first time, I had the space to explore the invisible labor and emotional complexity of mentoring.( 这个名为“入门指导”的项目每周都会召集研究生进行讨论。我第一次有机会探索指导的无形劳动和情感复杂性。)”可知,该研讨会主要聚焦于指导工作中的人际方面。故选C项。
4.推理判断题。根据全文,尤其是第一段“I tried to explain it away: undergraduates sometimes get busy with coursework, lose interest or change direction, but deep down, I wondered what I could have done differently.(我试图为自己辩解:本科生有时会忙于课程作业、失去兴趣或改变方向,但在内心深处,我想知道自己本可以做些不同的事情。)”、第三段“Skeptical at first, I decided to try it. The program, called Entering Mentoring, brought together graduate students for weekly discussions. For the first time, I had the space to explore the invisible labor and emotional complexity of mentoring. One session asked us to reflect on our own practices. I began to realize what might have been missing in my relationship with the student who had drifted away. (起初我持怀疑态度,决定尝试一下。这个名为“入门指导”的项目每周都会召集研究生进行讨论。我第一次有机会探索指导的无形劳动和情感复杂性。一次会议要求我们反思自己的做法。我开始意识到,我和那个渐渐疏远的学生的关系中可能缺少了什么。)”以及第四段“After the workshop, I began changing how I interacted with students.(研讨会之后,我开始改变与学生互动的方式。)”可知,作者在学生退出后反思自身问题,主动参加指导培训并改变方法,由此可知,作者既负责又善于反思。故选D项。
Passage 2
(2026·辽宁·二模)
Being seventeen without money can be depressing. When the opportunity arrives to earn some needed cash, it would be foolish to pass it up. It is for this reason that when the opportunity to referee elementary basketball came my way, I jumped at the chance. I thought it would be a fun way to earn some “easy money”.
During the years I played on the court and watched the games, I often found myself criticizing the referees. I completely believed that I could do a much better job because of my love for basketball and my familiarity with the game. How difficult could it be, especially with a bunch of third graders?
I looked forward to my first night as a referee but all of my fantasies wore off from the beginning of the game. These sweet third grade boys immediately transformed into horrible creatures right before me. Never in my wildest dreams did I ever imagine the extent of competitiveness in the game.
A battle was in progress on the court while the crazy bystanders cheered and yelled from the stands. My only companion, the whistle, suffered from a severe case of stage fear, filling my head with doubt every time I wished to blow it. My lack of action fueled the heartless crowd. Even on the rare occasions when my whistle gained enough courage to pause the fight, the bystanders still couldn’t calm. The sense of failure flooded every inch of my soul. With only five minutes remaining, Michael, another referee, came in time, saving me from losing my mind. In a flash, I passed my whistle and quickly ran to the safety of the stands.
I realized just how difficult refereeing was. I could have let this heartbreaking evening destroy my future on the court, but instead it stimulated a sense of determination in me to do it better. I still hope to become a great referee someday. In order for this to become a reality, it will take many hours of practice and hard work. No matter how much I wish the cash would be handed to me without requiring any effort, I learned from this experience that there is no such thing as “easy money”.
1.What made the author agree to serve as a basketball referee?
A.His desire to make money. B.His passion for the job.
C.His confidence in third graders. D.His knowledge of basketball.
2.What did the author think of the third grade boys before refereeing the game?
A.Lovely. B.Selfish. C.Impolite. D.Competitive.
3.What happened to the author during the game?
A.He was too nervous to blow the whistle.
B.He was at a loss to announce the results.
C.He couldn’t avoid the bystanders’ physical attack.
D.He couldn’t handle the tough situation on the court.
4.What can we learn from the author’s experience?
A.lazy hands make for poverty.
B.Money does not grow on trees.
C.Hope for the best and prepare for the worst.
D.Nothing is impossible to a willing heart.
【答案】1.A 2.A 3.D 4.B
【导语】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者通过讲述自己为赚取 “轻松钱” 担任小学篮球裁判却遭遇棘手局面的经历,领悟到“没有不劳而获的财富”,并决心努力提升自己成为优秀裁判。
1.细节理解题。根据第一段“Being seventeen without money can be depressing. When the opportunity arrives to earn some needed cash, it would be foolish to pass it up. It is for this reason that when the opportunity to referee elementary basketball came my way, I jumped at the chance. I thought it would be a fun way to earn some easy money.(17 岁却没钱,这可能会让人沮丧。当有机会挣些急需的钱时,错过它可就太愚蠢了。正是出于这个原因,当有机会去担任小学篮球比赛的裁判时,我立刻抓住了这个机会。我觉得这会是个既能找点乐子又能轻松赚钱的方式)”可知,作者同意担当小学篮球比赛的裁判的核心驱动力是赚钱的渴望。故选A。
2.细节理解题。根据第三段“I looked forward to my first night as a referee but all of my fantasies wore off from the beginning of the game. These sweet third grade boys immediately transformed into horrible creatures right before me. Never in my wildest dreams did I ever imagine the extent of competitiveness in the game.(我期待着自己作为裁判的第一个夜晚,但从比赛一开始,我所有的幻想就破灭了。这些可爱的三年级小男孩,在我面前瞬间变成了可怕的小怪兽。即使在我最疯狂的想象中,我也从未料到这场比赛的竞争会如此激烈)”可知,作者在裁判这场比赛之前觉得这些三年级的孩子可爱。故选A。
3.细节理解题。根据第四段“A battle was in progress on the court while the crazy bystanders cheered and yelled from the stands. My only companion, the whistle, suffered from a severe case of stage fear, filling my head with doubt every time I wished to blow it. My lack of action fueled the heartless crowd.

With only five minutes remaining, Michael, another referee, came in time, saving me from losing my mind. In a flash, I passed my whistle and quickly ran to the safety of the stands.(一场战斗正在球场上激烈进行,疯狂的旁观者在看台上欢呼呐喊。我唯一的伙伴——哨子,却患了严重的怯场症,每次我想吹响它时,它都让我满心疑虑。我的不作为更是助长了那群无情观众的气焰。即便在极少数情况下,我的哨子鼓足勇气暂停了争斗,旁观者们依旧无法平静下来。失败的感觉淹没了我灵魂的每一寸。只剩五分钟时,另一位裁判迈克尔及时赶到,把我从崩溃的边缘拯救了回来。一瞬间,我递出哨子,迅速跑到看台安全的地方)”可知,男孩们像 怪兽 一样激烈竞争,场面如同 战斗; 作者每次想吹哨都充满犹豫,不敢行动; 观众疯狂欢呼呐喊,即使吹哨暂停比赛也无法平息; 最终需要另一位裁判 Michael 及时救场,作者才得以脱身。由此可推断作者无法应对球场上的棘手局面。故选D。
4.推理判断题。根据末段中的“No matter how much I wish the cash would be handed to me without requiring any effort, I learned from this experience that there is no such thing as easy money.(无论我多么希望能不费吹灰之力就得到这笔钱,但从这次经历中我明白了,天下没有免费的午餐)”可推断,钱财并非自枝头自然生长,获取之路需付出辛劳。故选B。
Passage 3
(2026·吉林·二模)
For the past three years, my mother battled cancer in silence. When she learned of her diagnosis, she chose not to tell anyone in our family. She did not want us to worry, so she carried the burden alone. I only noticed her fatigue and thinning hair, but she always smiled and insisted that everything was fine.
Every morning, she would rise before dawn to prepare breakfast for me and my father. I remember the smell of pancakes and freshly brewed coffee filling the kitchen, masking the bitter taste of her reality. She would slip away to her treatments, returning home with a tired smile and dark circles under her eyes. I asked her about the bruises (淤青) on her arms and she simply said they were from clumsy moments.
Despite her pain and growing weakness, my mother devoted herself to my happiness. Every year, as my birthday approached, she carefully selected a special gift, wrapped it in bright paper, and placed it in the garage (车库). She even painted a small wooden sign above the tool cabinet and hung the key on a hook. On its tag, she wrote, “Open after I die.” This secret tradition remained between her and the boxes of presents waiting silently in the garage.
Last month, my mother passed away. I was preparing to leave for college out of state, hoping to see her proud smile as I walked onto the campus. Instead, I returned home to an empty house filled with stillness and echoes of her laughter. My greatest regret is that she never got to see me begin this new chapter of my life. Grief weighed heavily on my heart as I struggled to accept her absence.
A week after the funeral, I remembered the garage key. With trembling hands, I walked into the cluttered space. Behind the old lawnmower and stacked boxes, I found a row of neatly arranged gifts, one for each birthday she had planned. On the wall above them hung a photograph of her and me, smiling at the beach when I was a child. Beneath the photo, in her familiar handwriting, were the words, “Happy Birthday, son. May happiness fill each day!”
1.For approximately how long did the mother bear her illness in secret?
A.Roughly two years. B.Less than twelve months.
C.Over thirty-six months. D.Under eighteen months.
2.In which part of the house did she hide the birthday presents?
A.Under the bedroom floorboards.
B.Within the home’s external storage area.
C.Tucked behind the basement furnace.
D.Concealed in the linen closet.
3.Which of the following best captures the narrator’s deepest remorse?
A.She didn’t witness his beginning at university.
B.She never documented her final wishes.
C.She forgot to tell him the truth before passing.
D.She failed to leave a parting letter.
4.Which title most fittingly conveys the story’s theme?
A.A Silent Protector B.Gifts Left in Waiting
C.Shadows of Sorrow D.The Key to Unspoken Love
【答案】1.C 2.B 3.A 4.D

With trembling hands, I walked into the cluttered space. Behind the old lawnmower and stacked boxes, I found a row of neatly arranged gifts, one for each birthday she had planned.(葬礼结束一周后,我想起了车库的钥匙。我颤抖着双手,走进了杂乱的车库。在旧割草机和堆放的箱子后面,我发现了一排摆放整齐的礼物,每一份都是她为我计划好的每个生日准备的。)”可知,母亲把生日礼物藏在了车库里。因此,母亲把生日礼物藏在了房屋的外部存储区域。故选B。
3.细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Last month, my mother passed away. I was preparing to leave for college out of state, hoping to see her proud smile as I walked onto the campus.

Passage 4
(2026·内蒙古·二模)
In the small town of Willow Creek, there lived a peculiar old man named Mr. Thompson. He was known for his daily walks through the town square, always carrying a worn-out violin case. Yet, no one had ever heard him play a single note.
Every morning at precisely 8:00 am, Mr. Thompson would sit on the same weathered bench, carefully open the case, and gently touch the strings of his violin. Passers-by would often pause, expecting to hear music, but the old man would simply sit in silence, his eyes closed as if listening to a melody only he could hear.
The townsfolk had various theories about Mr. Thompson’s strange behavior. Some believed he had lost his ability to play due to age, while others thought he was waiting for the perfect moment to reveal his talent. The local newspaper even ran a story titled “The Silent Musician of Willow Creek,” which brought curious visitors to the town.
One particularly cold winter morning, a young girl named Emily approached Mr. Thompson. She had recently lost her hearing due to an illness and felt drawn to the silent musician. As she sat beside him, she noticed tears streaming down his face as his fingers gently moved along the violin’s neck.
Suddenly, Emily understood. She reached into her bag and pulled out a notebook, writing: “You’re playing for someone you’ve lost, aren’t you?” Mr. Thompson read the note and nodded, his hands quivering as he wrote his reply: “Every day, I play for my wife who passed away. She was the only one who could hear my music.”
From that day forward, Emily and Mr. Thompson formed an unlikely friendship. Though the town never heard a single note from the old man’s violin, they came to understand that some of the most beautiful music is the kind that plays in our hearts.
1.Why did Emily feel drawn to Mr. Thompson?
A.She had recently lost her hearing. B.She wanted to learn how to play the violin.
C.She was writing a story for the newspaper. D.She recognized him as a famous musician.
2.What does the underlined word “quivering” mean in paragraph 5?
A.Moving. B.Freezing. C.Sweating. D.Trembling.

【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Willow Creek小镇上一位老人与一个小女孩之间的感人故事。
1.细节理解题。根据第四段中“She had recently lost her hearing due to an illness and felt drawn to the silent musician. (她最近因病失去了听力,因此被这位沉默的音乐家所吸引。)”可知,Emily因为最近失去了听力,所以被Mr. Thompson所吸引。故选A。
2.词句猜测题。根据第五段中“She reached into her bag and pulled out a notebook, writing: “You’re playing for someone you’ve lost, aren’t you?” Mr. Thompson read the note and nodded, his hands quivering as he wrote his reply: “Every day, I play for my wife who passed away. She was the only one who could hear my music.” (她把手伸进包里,拿出一个笔记本,写道:“你是在为某个你失去的人演奏,对不对?” 汤普森先生看了纸条,点了点头,他的手在写回复时quivering:“每天,我都为我去世的妻子演奏。她是唯一能听懂我音乐的人。”)”可知,汤普森先生对去世妻子的怀念使他情绪激动,手应该是颤抖的,因此quivering在这里的意思是“颤抖”。故选D。
3.细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Though the town never heard a single note from the old man’s violin, they came to understand that some of the most beautiful music is the kind that plays in our hearts. (尽管镇上的人从未听过老人小提琴发出的一个音符,但他们逐渐明白,最美的音乐是奏响在我们心中的那种。)”可知,镇民们对Mr. Thompson的看法发生了变化,他们开始理解他沉默背后的意义。故选D。
4.主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是最后一段“From that day forward, Emily and Mr. Thompson formed an unlikely friendship. Though the town never heard a single note from the old man’s violin, they came to understand that some of the most beautiful music is the kind that plays in our hearts. (从那天起,Emily和汤普森先生建立了一段不太可能的友谊。尽管镇上的人从未听过老人小提琴发出的一个音符,但他们逐渐明白,最美的音乐是奏响在我们心中的那种。)”可知,文章主要讲述了Mr. Thompson通过每天“演奏”小提琴来怀念他已故的妻子,而Emily虽然听不见,却理解了他内心的音乐,两人因此建立了深厚的友谊。文章强调了未说出口的情感和记忆的力量,即使无声,也能触动人心。故选C。
