专题05 阅读理解（记叙文） Passage 1 （2026·北京燕山·一模）It was a long night. Our dog Precious was having puppies. I stayed by her side. After six hours, the puppies finally arrived. The first was black and white. The next two were tan (棕褐色的) and brown, and the last two were also black and white. I counted five puppies and went to tell my wife, Judy, that everything was okay. When we came back, we saw a sixth puppy alone in the cage. Judy noticed something was wrong. The puppy had a cleft lip and palate (唇腭裂 ), which meant it couldn’t close its mouth or suckle (吸吮). The vet said it would cost a lot to fix, and the puppy might not survive. We couldn’t afford it, but I decided to try my best to help the puppy. I fed it with a syringe every two hours for over 10 days. The puppy slowly learned to eat soft food. After five weeks, we found homes for all the puppies except the one with the cleft lip. One day, our neighbor, a retired (退休的) teacher, asked if she could have a puppy for her grandson. When they arrived, I told her all the puppies were taken. Just then, the little puppy with the cleft lip started to yelp (吠叫). The boy ran to the puppy, calling it “my puppy”. He looked up at his grandmother and said, “Look, Grandma! They found homes for all the puppies except the pretty one.” The teacher asked if the puppy was available. I said yes. The boy hugged the puppy tightly (紧紧地). The image of the boy and his puppy still stays with me. I think it must be a wonderful feeling to look at a small animal and see nothing except “the pretty one”. 1．What can we know about the sixth puppy? A．It had trouble eating. B．It was black and white. C．It lived alone all the time. D．It was the writer’s favorite. 2．What did the writer do to help the sixth puppy? A．He took it to the vet every day. B．He taught it to play with the boy. C．He asked neighbors to look after it. D．He fed it with a syringe for over 10 days. 3．What can we learn from the story? A．It’s not easy to keep pets at home. B．It’s expensive to look after sick pets. C．We should accept and care for every life. D．We should make friends with pretty animals. 【答案】1．A 2．D 3．C 【导语】本文讲述了作者救助一只患有唇腭裂的小狗，并最终被一个小男孩视为“漂亮的那只”的故事。 1．第二段指出第六只小狗“couldn’t close its mouth or suckle”，说明它有进食困难。 2．第二段指出作者“fed it with a syringe every two hours for over 10 days”，说明他用注射器喂养了它十多天。 3．小男孩把有缺陷的小狗称为“the pretty one”，说明我们应该接纳和关爱每一个生命。 Passage 2 （2026·北京朝阳·一模）“Dear Daddy” Notes My father was the gentlest and most caring dad in the world. But when we argued, he became strict and never considered that there could be another side. My words seemed to reach no one because his ears were closed. I could never win. When my father refused to understand that I needed privacy for my phone, I felt frustrated (沮丧的) and even cried. When he noticed I was trying to explain my reason for not wearing uniforms to school in junior high, he ended our “discussion”, leaving me silently sad. Later, when he refused to let me go on my last-year class trip to Montreal, I could do nothing but run out of his room in great sadness. I couldn’t get him to listen to my side, maybe he would read it. Hoping his eyes would be more open than his ears, I wrote a note that began “Dear Daddy” and ended with how much I respected his opinion, hated to fight with him, valued our relationship, and loved him. I put the note under his door and raced back to my room. Minutes later, there was a knock at my door. Seeing my father’s face, I knew my note had softened his strictness and touched his heart. Getting his agreement to go to Montreal was sweet. Even better was discovering a way to argue with him without tears, ending with a hug instead. My “Dear Daddy” notes became a way to follow up on many of our arguments. During our most heated disagreements, I knew how to get through to him, but his firm (坚定的) final word left me speechless. Years later, my father and I still share those sweet memories about my “Dear Daddy” notes. Whenever we look back on our heated disagreements and how those little notes helped him finally understand me, we can’t help smiling. He never said he knew my little plan, but I could always tell he loved every note that helped him see my way. To this day, those notes remain one of my favorite stories between us. 1．How did the writer feel when her father refused her Montreal trip? A．Nervous. B．Lonely. C．Disappointed. D．Calm. 2．What could the “Dear Daddy” notes help the writer do? A．Send messages faster. B．Avoid meeting her father. C．Improve her writing skills. D．Make her father understand her. 3．What can we learn from the passage? A．Understanding matters more than winning. B．Reaching agreement isn’t important in argument. C．Sweet memories often come from heated fights. D．Children should consider their parents’ opinions. 【答案】1．C 2．D 3．A 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了作者小时候与严厉的父亲发生争执时，通过写“Dear Daddy”便条的方式温和表达想法，最终化解矛盾、获得父亲理解的故事，展现了有效沟通对增进亲子理解的重要性。 1．根据原文第二段第3句“Later, when he refused to let me go on my last-year class trip to Montreal, I could do nothing but run out of his room in great sadness.”，作者被拒绝后很难过，选项中“Disappointed”符合语境。 2．根据原文第三段第1句“Hoping his eyes would be more open than his ears, I wrote a note that began ‘Dear Daddy’...”、第四段第2句“Seeing my father’s face, I knew my note had softened his strictness and touched his heart.”以及第六段第2句 “...how those little notes helped him finally understand me”，可知便条的核心作用是帮助父亲理解作者的想法。 3．全文围绕作者与父亲的争执展开，作者没有在争吵中追求“赢”，而是通过写便条的方式沟通，让父亲理解自己，最终收获了更好的亲子关系，点明了“理解比输赢更重要”的核心主旨。 Passage 3 （2026·北京顺义·一模）The Math Challenge It was Friday, and there were only 15 minutes until lunch. All the students in Mrs. Stretch’s math class were waiting excitedly for the fun game called Around the World. This was Eddie’s favorite activity. He loved racing against classmates to solve math problems quickly. Eddie sometimes won and sometimes lost, but his friend Michael was always the champion. Michael never lost and beat everyone in class every week. Soon the game started. Mrs. Stretch let the new student Talia play first. Talia was very fast. She beat Eddie, Vivian, and many other students one by one. No one could stop her. Finally, only Michael was left. The whole class became quiet and watched carefully. When Mrs. Stretch gave the question, Talia answered correctly before Michael. Everyone cheered loudly for the new winner. After class, Eddie found Michael sitting sadly at his desk with his head down. Eddie walked over and asked, “You OK?” Michael didn’t look up. Eddie could tell he was upset. He sat beside Michael and said, “It’s OK to lose. I lose all the time, and you’re still great at math. ” Michael looked up and said quietly, “I thought no one liked me. They cheered when I lost. ” Eddie smiled and explained that the class was just surprised and happy for Talia’s amazing work. He told Michael that one loss didn’t change how good he was. Then Eddie said, “We can practice math together. I can help you, and you can help me. Next time you can challenge her again. ” Michael felt much better and said with a little smile, “Challenge accepted!” Finally, the two friends walked out together to join their classmates.

His grandma’s noodle stand was full of noise and people. Jared sighed (叹气) heavily. He had wanted to spend his school holiday playing video games, not sitting in this hot food market at nine o’clock in the morning. “Ugh, why are you still working at your age? You’re seventy-two!” Jared asked. Grandma just smiled and kept cooking, her hands moving quickly — pouring soup, adding toppings, passing bowls to customers with a warm nod. “Sit there and watch, boy,” Grandma said. “There are things books do not teach.” Jared didn’t understand. To him, it just looked like hard, tiring work. As the morning went on, Jared began to notice small things. Grandma knew every customer’s name and she remembered their small favorites — extra fish balls for one, no spring onions for another, less salt for the third. When a little boy dropped his spoon, Grandma quietly handed him a new one before he even asked. When an old lady struggled with her tray, she came around and helped her take it to her table. “Don’t you get tired of all this?” Jared finally asked during a short break. Grandma smiled. “Of course, I do. But without it, I was never able to pay for your father’s education. And when I see elderly people who might not get a good meal for the day, I know why I must continue. Tiredness goes away. But the will to keep going, bowl after bowl, stays.” Jared didn’t say anything. He had thought his grandma’s job was just about making noodles. But watching her today, Jared saw how Grandma served each bowl with care. What he had thought was just cooking turned out to be admirable work. “You should enjoy life in your old age!” Jared asked as he helped clean up. Grandma looked at him and said, “People remember how you make them feel. In fact, I enjoy spending my time this way.” Jared laughed a little. Between playing video games and making someone smile, he now knew which one counted more. 1．How did Jared feel at his grandma’s noodle stand at first? A．Excited and hopeful. B．Surprised and curious. C．Upset and afraid. D．Unhappy and bored. 2．What did Jared notice as the morning went on? A．Grandma remembered customers’ likes and dislikes. B．Grandma often forgot to add toppings to the noodles. C．Grandma rested sometimes because she felt very tired. D．Grandma cared about how to make money quickly. 3．What can we learn from the story? A．Making noodles is a good way to make money for a family. B．Young people should respect and understand their elders. C．Helping others and caring for people can bring true happiness. D．It is important to learn how to cook from your family members. 【答案】1．D 2．A 3．C 【导语】本文讲述杰里德起初不情愿陪奶奶看面馆，后来目睹奶奶待人用心，从而领悟助人能收获真正的价值与快乐。 1．第一段描写：“Jared sat unhappily, staring into space as he fanned himself with a napkin”，刻画出杰里德一开始心情低落、无所事事倍感无聊。 2．第四段叙述：“Grandma knew every customer’s name and she remembered their small favorites”，表明杰里德慢慢发现奶奶记得每位顾客的喜好与忌口。 3．文末升华主旨：“People remember how you make them feel. In fact, I enjoy spending my time this way”，借奶奶的话语点明真诚待人、关爱他人能收获真正的幸福感。 Passage 5 （2026·北京丰台·一模）The bell woke me and the pain took my breath away. The doctors had promised this operation would help me walk again. Instead, my legs felt strange and every movement sent sharp pain through my knees. I shouted until my throat burned. Night after night, alone in the hospital with my pain, I told my mom through tears, “I can’t do this. There is no hope. I’m giving up.” But my mother refused to accept that. Every morning, she drove me to recovery training: lifting weights, pulling myself on parallel bars, and learning to fall and stand again. My hands shook. My muscles ached badly. I hated every second of it. One Tuesday, a girl with golden hair rolled her wheelchair beside mine. “I’m Betty,” she said gently. I turned away, but Betty didn’t press. She simply opened up, “After my operation, I cried every day for two weeks. I had the same treatment and it failed twice.” Her honesty drew my eyes back. “Giving up just lets the pain win,” she continued softly. “I’m not asking for courage. I’m just asking for one more day. Will you try one more day with me?” That question lit a small hope in my heart. The next morning, I arrived before she did. “You came,” Betty said with a smile. I whispered, “Just one day.” One day turned into a week, then two. Betty was there for every painful moment—steadying (使稳定) my shaking hands, catching me before I fell, celebrating each trembling step. When I broke down in tears three weeks in, crying that nothing had changed, Betty simply sat beside me and said, “Three weeks ago, you couldn’t stand for three seconds. Today, you held on for six. That’s change.” Together, we kept going. One month later, I pushed off the bars and stood alone for eight full seconds. Recovery still brings aches and doubts, but now, I remember Betty’s question— and the choice to try one more day. She taught me that true strength isn’t about never falling, but about having someone who stays steadily by your side, saying, “It’s okay. Let’s try again.” 1．How did the writer feel after the operation? A．Thankful. B．Hopeless. C．Confident. D．Bored. 2．The writer decided to try one more day because ________. A．Betty’s warm words gave her hope B．her mother asked her not to give up C．she could stand for a long time alone D．the training became easy and interesting 3．What did the writer learn from the experience? A．No one can succeed alone. B．Hard practice builds strength. C．Troubled times require family ties. D．Strength comes from trying with support. 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了作者在手术后感到绝望，不愿继续康复训练，在贝蒂的鼓励和陪伴下，作者逐渐恢复并明白了真正的力量源于在支持下的不断尝试。 1．文章第一段提到“I can’t do this. There is no hope. I’m giving up.”，表明作者在手术后感到绝望。 2．文章第四段提到“That question lit a small hope in my heart.”和第五段“Just one day.”，说明贝蒂温暖的话语给了作者希望，使作者决定再试一天。 3．文章最后一段提到“She taught me that true strength isn’t about never falling, but about having someone who stays steadily by your side, saying, ‘It’s okay. Let’s try again.’”，表明作者从这次经历中学到了真正的力量源于在支持下的不断尝试。 Passage 6 （2026·北京房山·一模）Alice and I were both in the school writing club. We weren’t exactly friends, just two people who happened to share the same hobby. We sat on opposite sides of the room and wrote our own stories. Then there was a writing competition at school. The winner would get his or her story published in the local newspaper. We both wanted that. Suddenly, we were rivals (竞争对手). I’d been working on a story about a girl who discovered an old camera in her attic (阁楼), a camera that could take photos of the past. I heard that Alice was writing something about time too. That made me worried. What if our stories ended up being too similar? But I wasn’t about to change my idea. It was mine, and I believed in it. I pushed the thought away and kept writing. Finally, we handed in our stories without a word. The next morning, our teacher called us over. “I read both of your stories,” she said. “Alice, your characters feel real, like people I might know.” She looked at me, “As for yours, your time-travel idea is really creative.” She stopped for a while, “Have you thought about working together?” We glanced (瞥) at each other, unsure. But that afternoon, we talked. I told her about the magic camera. She described her main character, a girl who missed her grandmother terribly. And then it clicked. What if the camera let that girl see her grandmother one last time? Her character and my idea fit together like puzzle pieces. We spent the next three days writing side by side. When we finally finished, the story was better than anything either of us could have written alone. It was chosen for the competition. A few weeks later, we found out it won first prize. Standing next to Alice when we got the award, I realized something important. Competition pushes us to do our best. But working together? That’s where the real magic happens. 1．How did the writer feel when she heard Alice was writing something similar? A．Unsure. B．Worried. C．Excited. D．Proud. 2．What did the teacher suggest that Alice and the writer do? A．Rewrite their stories. B．Keep their ideas secret. C．Work together on a story. D．Hand in their stories on time. 3．What can we learn from the writer’s experience? A．Hobbies help us grow. B．Writing takes hard work. C．Creative ideas bring success. D．Teamwork creates better results. 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了作者和爱丽丝原本因有相同爱好同在学校写作俱乐部，后因写作比赛成为竞争对手，最后在老师建议下合作，作品不仅在比赛中胜出还获得一等奖，作者由此意识到合作的重要性。 1．第二段提到：“That made me worried. What if our stories ended up being too similar?”，这直接说明当作者听说爱丽丝也在写关于时间的内容时，作者感到担心。 2．第三段提到：“Have you thought about working together?”，说明老师建议爱丽丝和作者一起合作写一个故事。 3．第六段提到：“Standing next to Alice when we got the award, I realized something important. Competition pushes us to do our best. But working together? That’s where the real magic happens.”，说明作者从这次经历中意识到团队合作能创造更好的结果。 Passage 7 （2026·北京平谷·一模）I grew up in a small town called Palmerston, Ontario. My parents had a small store, and we lived a simple life. In high school, I dreamed of working in TV. But when I talked to a school advisor, she told me I could only be a nurse, a teacher, or a hairdresser. I was too shy to tell anyone about my real dream — except my parents. They always said, “You can do anything you want.” With their support, I applied for (申请) the radio and TV program at Ryerson University in Toronto. I was accepted and graduated as the best student. But finding a job was not easy. CBC and CTV both said NO to me because I had no experience. Then I heard that Global Television was just starting. I made a brave decision. I found the name of the president and decided to call him directly. My heart was beating fast, but I practiced what I would say. When he answered the phone, I politely asked for a visit to the studio. He was surprised but agreed. I chose 11 o’clock for the visit, hoping he might ask me to lunch. Sure enough, after the tour, he did. During the lunch, he asked me directly, “What do you want?” I answered, “All I want is a chance. If there is a job on camera, I want a chance to try. I just want you to know me.” Three months later, his secretary called. There was a chance to try out for a new game show called Wintario. I went, and everything went well. I got the job at once. That was the start of a 22-year career. I went on to host hundreds of shows, appeared in ads, movies and celebrations, and built a life I had only dreamed of as a teenager. Looking back, I learned that dreams don’t come true by waiting. You have to be brave, take risks, and take the first step — even when you are afraid. One phone call changed my life. You never know where your courage will lead you. 1．How did the writer feel when she called the president of Global Television? A．Relaxed. B．Nervous. C．Excited. D．Bored. 2．What happened to the writer after she made the phone call? A．She got an on-camera job at once. B．She was invited to host a show that day. C．She had a tour and lunch with the president. D．She was told to come back three months later. 3．What can we learn from the writer’s experience? A．Don’t take any risks in life. B．Don’t give up your dreams easily. C．Don’t blindly follow others’ advice. D．Don’t make friends with strict people. 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．B 【导语】本文讲述了作者从小梦想从事电视行业，在父母的支持下进入大学学习广播电视专业。文章告诉我们，梦想需要勇气和行动才能实现。 1．根据第三段“My heart was beating fast”表明她当时非常紧张。选项B“Nervous”意为“紧张的”，符合文意。 2．根据第三段“When he answered the phone, I politely asked for a visit to the studio. He was surprised but agreed.” 第四段原文：“I chose 11 o’clock for the visit...Sure enough, after the tour, he did.” 因此她得到了参观工作室并与总裁共进午餐的机会。 3．根据最后一段“You have to be brave, take risks, and take the first step — even when you are afraid.” 作者通过自己的经历告诉读者，梦想不会通过等待实现，需要勇气和行动。这启示我们不要轻易放弃梦想。 Passage 8 （2026·北京西城·一模）The Dream Builder Finn’s younger brother, Leo, had a serious immune deficiency (免疫缺陷) disease, making the outside world a dangerous place. Finn saw the longing in Leo’s eyes when he talked about his own hikes or bike rides. Finn was a member of his school’s tech club. He’d built robots. One night, watching Leo get lost in a map, Finn had an idea: If Leo couldn’t go to the world, he would bring the world to Leo. He called this idea “The Dreamwalker.” It was about creating a personalized, sensory experience. Finn improved an old virtual reality (VR) headset, but the key was a pair of special gloves he engineered himself. They could simulate (模拟) the feeling of touching different things. Then came the hard part: building the “worlds”. For a week, Finn took a 360-degree camera on his hike. He didn’t just film; he recorded the sound of the river, the wind, and the birds. He reached out and touched hard stones, soft grass, and cold water, noting the exact sensation. Back in the lab, he synchronized (同步) the videos to the headset. He programmed the gloves: When Leo “touched” the river, some water produced by an improved computer cooling fan would hit his face, and the special gloves would help him feel the movement of the water. Then came the first test. Leo put on the headset and gloves, and started the program. He was silent for a minute. Then, “I can...feel the river!” he said. His smile widened behind the headset. For twenty minutes, Leo explored, reaching out, laughing as water hit his face by the “river”. Finn filmed Leo’s reaction, a joy he hadn’t seen in years. He realized that the highest purpose of technology and skill isn’t to win competitions or create new inventions. It’s to be a bridge. It’s to use your knowledge as a tool for understanding and to give someone you love the irreplaceable gift of an experience. He learned that the greatest engineering is the kind that connects one human heart to another. 1．Why was the outside world a dangerous place for Leo? A．Because he was too young. B．Because he had poor eyesight. C．Because he got lost easily outside. D．Because he had a serious disease. 2．What did Finn do for Leo? A．He created a set of sensory tools. B．He personalized a special robot. C．He recorded all of his bike rides. D．He bought a VR headset with nature programs. 3．What did Finn learn from this experience? A．Human connections are based on the development of technology. B．Technology finds its true value in enriching the life of loved ones. C．Diseases cannot hold back the dreams of those who never give up. D．Engineering can help people win awards and prizes in competitions. 【答案】1．D 2．A 3．B 【导语】本文是记叙文，讲述Finn为患有严重免疫缺陷疾病、无法外出的弟弟Leo，利用VR技术和自制传感手套打造“造梦行者”系统，让Leo体验户外世界的故事，最终Finn领悟到技术的最高价值是连接人心、丰富所爱之人的生活。 1．文中首句指出“Finn’s younger brother, Leo, had a serious immune deficiency disease, making the outside world a dangerous place”，说明 Leo 因患有严重疾病，外界对他而言很危险。 2．文中提到Finn改良了VR头显，还自制了特殊手套，打造了名为“The Dreamwalker”的个性化感官体验系统，这属于一套感官工具。 3．最后一段Finn意识到“the highest purpose of technology and skill isn’t to win competitions or create new inventions. It’s to be a bridge...to give someone you love the irreplaceable gift of an experience”，说明技术的真正价值在于丰富所爱之人的生活，与选项 B 表述一致 Passage 9 （2026·北京昌平·一模）My mother’s favorite bowl was not expensive, but it meant a lot to her. It was a simple Chinese bowl that she had used for thirty years. Last month, I dropped it while washing it, and it broke into pieces. I stood there, unable to move. I was worried that she would be angry. When my mother walked in, she didn’t get angry. Instead, she picked up the broken pieces carefully. “Don’t worry, Alice,” she said. She told me about an ancient Chinese art called ceramic (陶瓷) mending. It is a special way of fixing broken things with small pieces of metal. Instead of hiding the broken lines, this art shows them clearly. It makes the repaired object even stronger. It treats the breakage as a part of history, not something to hide. A few days later, we watched a worker repair the bowl. He carefully made small holes and put silver pieces of metal across the broken lines. They looked like stars in the sky. “You see,” my mother said in a low voice, “We don’t need to be shy about the broken parts. They show that the bowl has lived through hard times. A bowl that has never been broken is just a bowl, but this one is special because its scars (疤痕) have become art.” This experience made me think about my own life. Like many teenagers, I used to try to be “perfect”. I felt bad when I failed a test or had an argument with a friend. I thought any mistake made me less worthy. But looking at the bowl, I realized that my experiences—even the painful ones—were my “start”. They hold me together and make me who I am. 1．Why did the writer feel worried after breaking the bowl? A．Because the bowl cost a lot. B．Because she kept on making mistakes. C．Because she would pay for her carelessness. D．Because she feared making her mother angry. 2．How did the writer’s mother deal with the broken bowl? A．By throwing it away. B．By deciding to repair it. C．By putting it away in a box. D．By replacing it with a new one. 3．What do painful experiences mean to the writer? A．Correct paths to perfection. B．Key chances to build a strong will. C．Necessary parts of personal growth. D．Valuable memories of being honest. 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．C 【导语】本文主要讲述了作者不小心打碎了母亲心爱的碗，母亲没有生气，而是用陶瓷修复技艺将其修复，作者从中领悟到人生的不完美也是成长的一部分。 1．第一段明确指出原因：“I was worried that she would be angry”，说明作者打碎碗后感到担心是因为害怕让母亲生气。 2．第二段提到处理方式：“She told me about an ancient Chinese art called ceramic (陶瓷) mending. It is a special way of fixing broken things with small pieces of metal.”，说明作者母亲决定修复这个破碎的碗。 3．最后一段提到感悟：“But looking at the bowl, I realized that my experiences—even the painful ones—were my “start”. They hold me together and make me who I am.”，作者意识到她的经历——即使是痛苦的经历——都是她的“开始”，它们将她凝聚在一起，使她成为她自己，说明痛苦的经历是个人成长的必要部分。 Passage 1 （2026·北京海淀·一模）. Matthew followed his dad and the bellman Mr. Colby up the narrow, shaky stairs of the old meetinghouse. When they reached the belfry (钟楼), 80 feet above the ground, the town below looked like a tiny toy village. Behind them hung the huge, 1,500-pound bell. The bell had worked for the town for almost 250 years. Matthew was there that day to take photos of the bell for his history fair project. When he touched one of the thick wooden beams holding the bell, his finger sank into soft, rotten wood. “Maybe it was just a small, harmless spot,” he thought to himself. So he didn’t say anything. Then it was time for Mr. Colby to ring the bell, so he went downstairs to pull the rope. As the huge bell swung back and forth, the rotten beam moved with it. At that moment, Matthew found that the wood around a bolt (螺栓) had broken and fallen apart. His heart raced: What if other beams were rotting too? What if one broke and the heavy bell fell down? He looked at dad, who was still admiring the view from above. “Dad, look!” he shouted, pointing at the broken beam. When dad turned around, his smile disappeared when he saw it. Matthew didn’t waste a second. He hurried down the stairs to stop Mr. Colby. Mr. Colby went up again and checked the beams with his screwdriver (螺丝刀). He shook his head sadly. Years of wind and rain had eaten away at the wood. The whole support structure needed to be replaced, and the bell shouldn’t be rung again until it was fixed. Days later, Matthew finished his project using the photos he had already taken. And the belfry was fixed just in time for the 250th anniversary of the town. He was glad he’d spoken up instead of staying quiet. At the celebration, Mr. Colby spoke in front of everyone. “If it weren’t for Matthew’s sharp eye and quick thinking, the damage could have been much worse.” Matthew felt proud but a little shy. Then Mr. Colby handed him the rope. Matthew rang the bell for the town’s 250th birthday. 1．What did Matthew find when Mr. Colby rang the bell? A．The rope broke in half. B．One of the beams moved. C．The whole belfry shook. D．The bell fell to the ground. 2．What was Matthew’s reaction (反应) after he found the problem? A．He felt nervous at first, then became calm and left. B．He felt scared at first, then became nervous and hid. C．He felt unsure at first, then became worried and took action. D．He felt worried at first, then became brave and rang the bell. 3．What can we learn from Matthew’s experience? A．Hard work leads to good results. B．Good projects need creative ideas. C．Work together to make tasks easier. D．Speak up before small problems grow. 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．D 【导语】本文主要介绍了Matthew在钟楼发现支撑大钟的横梁有腐烂迹象，起初以为只是小问题未声张；在大钟被敲响、横梁松动加剧后，他果断阻止并上报，及时避免了事故，最终因他的敏锐与果断受到表彰。 1．原文第三段“As the huge bell swung back and forth, the rotten beam…had broken and fallen apart”可知，敲钟时Matthew发现腐烂的横梁跟着钟移动了，对应B项“其中一根木梁晃动了”。 2．Matthew一开始摸到腐烂木头时，心里安慰自己只是一小块无害的地方，此时他不确定问题的严重性；发现螺栓周边木材碎裂后，他开始担心横梁断裂钟坠落，之后立刻告诉父亲、下楼阻止Colby，采取了行动。符合描述的是C项“他一开始不确定，然后担心并采取了行动”。 3．故事中Matthew一开始没有说木材腐烂的小问题，发现问题扩大后及时说出，避免了更严重的事故，原文也点明“He was glad he’d spoken up instead of staying quiet”，可知主旨对应D项“要在小问题变大之前及时说出来”。 Passage 2 （2026·北京石景山·一模）As I stepped out of the DMV (车管所) with my license and my head held high, I thought of all the new memories I could create. The places I could drive to were limitless. As I started driving, however, I realized that it wasn’t the GPS saying, “You have reached your destination,” that gave me a rush in my heart. The journey became more electrifying as I sang along to my “Driving Playlist”. I never understood when my mom asked me, “Do you want to go out for a drive, man?” There was nowhere to go—I didn’t have a class or a club that we would be driving to. It would be 5:00 pm on a random Tuesday when she posed the question. I declined the offer. For a long time, I approached my creative aspirations the same way I viewed those drives—only with a purpose when given a specific destination. I only picked up a paintbrush when school required it for a project. I only took up a book when I had a reading assignment. I knew I needed to change the belief that because there wasn’t a grade attached to my passion, that was meaningless. In an art project, a good friend of mine offered a solution that erased my desire for perfection: she told me to just draw aimlessly on paper. Without an end product in mind, I was able to construct a masterpiece that I could be proud of without having to receive an “A+” on it. In the past, I was driven by the fear of missing out (FOMO). Instead of enjoying moments with my friends, I attended every single academic event because I worried about the consequences if I missed one. At the start of my senior year, I feared missing out on the “high school experience” that was portrayed (描绘) in the movies I watched growing up. Yet, I am now defining my own version of that experience. It is worthwhile to pursue simple passions in life. There doesn’t need to be a grand reason for venturing out of the house; driving just for the sake of driving is my favourite pastime. The day I got my license, I no longer grabbed the wheel with hesitation; I was in control of it as I uncovered a new world of possibilities. 1．How did the author feel when he first got his driver’s license? A．Rewarded. B．Heartened. C．Honoured. D．Relieved. 2．What changed the author’s perspective on school life? A．His desire to receive an “A+”. B．Moments shared with his friends. C．A product to create a masterpiece. D．A friend’s suggestion to draw aimlessly. 3．The author’s previous FOMO was related to ________. A．the movies on high school life B．a grand reason for driving around C．the pressure of study in high school D．a grade attached to academic events 4．What can we learn from this passage? A．Trends help you find your true passion. B．A journey holds more than the destination. C．A well-planned path finally leads to success. D．Childhood shows the man, as morning shows the day. 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．C 4．B 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，作者通过考驾照后对驾驶意义的重新理解，结合朋友建议改变对兴趣的态度，摆脱FOMO，认识到追求无目的的简单热爱比结果更重要。 1．第一段说明：“I stepped out of the DMV with my license and my head held high”，作者拿到驾照后“head held high”，感到充满可能，说明他感到振奋。 2．第三段说明：“a good friend of mine offered a solution...she told me to just draw aimlessly on paper. Without an end product in mind, I was able to construct a masterpiece”，改变他观点的是一位朋友“随意画画”的建议。 3．第四段说明：“In the past, I was driven by the fear of missing out (FOMO). Instead of enjoying moments with my friends, I attended every single academic event because I worried about the consequences if I missed one.”，作者怕错过学术活动、怕有不好后果，错失恐惧的根源是学业压力。 4．结合第一段“The journey became more electrifying as I sang along to my ‘Driving Playlist’.”和最后一段“I no longer grabbed the wheel with hesitation; I was in control of it as I uncovered a new world of possibilities.”可知， 全文核心观点是过程（旅程）本身比目的地更重要。 Passage 3 （2026·北京通州·一模）Madison’s Dream Madison looked out of the classroom window. A bird flew freely across the sky, cutting through a white cloud. Total freedom, she thought, wishing she could escape (摆脱) math class like that bird. Her mind wandered to her horse, Star, and the summer days riding him. Lost in her daydream, she didn’t hear Mrs. Landon calling her name until the teacher’s voice brought her back. The class laughed as Mrs. Landon asked about the homework. “I didn’t have trouble doing it,” Madison said, “but I forgot to bring it.” More laughter filled the room. Mrs. Landon sighed, clearly disappointed with Madison’s constant daydreaming, and mentioned talking to her parents. Soon, Mrs. Landon introduced a special guest: Dr. Landon, an animal doctor visiting for Career Day. He talked about how important school grades were and how hard he studied math and science when he was young. Madison found it hard to focus until one word caught her ear: “horse.” Dr. Landon explained that working with horses lets him be outside all day. “Does anyone here have a horse?” he asked. Madison’s hand shot up. “I do! His name is Star!” “A big brown horse on Anderson Road?” Dr. Landon asked. He remembered treating Star. Madison was amazed and happy that he knew her horse. “So you spend your days taking care of horses?” “Most days,” Dr. Landon said, describing his job visiting horses all over the area. “It’s a lot of work, but I love it.” Madison was amazed. A clear picture of her future suddenly appeared: She would be an animal doctor for horses! The idea filled her with excitement. Her life suddenly felt bigger and full of purpose. That afternoon, Madison changed her plans when she got home. She hurried past her surprised parents in the kitchen. “I’m going to study math for an hour,” she said loudly, “then ride Star.” Her parents looked at each other in surprise. “She’s studying before riding?” her mother whispered. Her father shrugged, looking proud. “Must be that talk I had about college last week. I guess she listened.” He smiled, pleased with himself. Madison overheard them as she went upstairs, smiling too. She remembered her dad talking about college last week, but her real inspiration was different: Dr. Landon and his life with horses. She decided she would study math and science hard every night now—those were important subjects for becoming an animal doctor. Her new plan had begun. 1．What was Madison doing when Mrs. Landon called her name? A．She was doing her math exercises. B．She was lost in her daydream. C．She was running after a bird. D．She was riding her horse on the farm. 2．Why did Madison’s parents feel surprised when she got home that afternoon? A．Because Madison studied math before riding her horse. B．Because Madison talked to her parents about her dream. C．Because Madison made a plan to improve her riding skills. D．Because Madison asked Dr. Landon to help her with math. 3．What made Madison begin her new plan? A．Her father talked about college last week. B．Her teacher’s warning to call her parents. C．Her dream of being an animal doctor. D．Her wish to improve her horse-riding performance. 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．C 【导语】本文主要讲述了麦迪逊上课总做白日梦，在职业日遇到动物医生兰登博士，受到启发，树立了成为马科动物医生的梦想，并决定努力学习数学和科学，开启新计划的故事。 1．第一段指出：“Lost in her daydream, she didn’t hear Mrs. Landon calling her name until the teacher’s voice brought her back.”，说明兰登老师叫麦迪逊名字时，她正沉浸在白日梦中。 2．第八段指出：“I’m going to study math for an hour,” she said loudly, “then ride Star.” Her parents looked at each other in surprise. “She’s studying before riding?” her mother whispered. 说明麦迪逊的父母感到惊讶是因为她回家后先学习数学，再去骑马。 3．第七段指出：“A clear picture of her future suddenly appeared: She would be an animal doctor for horses! The idea filled her with excitement.” 以及最后一段“she decided she would study math and science hard every night now—those were important subjects for becoming an animal doctor. Her new plan had begun.”，说明是成为动物医生的梦想让麦迪逊开启了新计划。 Passage 4 （2026·北京石景山·一模）Nilsa stared at the classroom clock, counting down the minutes until lunch. Her mom had packed her favorite meal— sancocho, a rich chicken soup from their hometown. In the dining hall, she poured the warm soup into a bowl. Just as she was about to take a sip (一小口) , her classmates noticed it. “What is that smell?” John asked, wrinkling (皱起) his nose. “It’s sancocho. It’s a kind of chicken soup,” Nilsa replied. “That doesn’t look like any soup I’ve ever seen,” said Codi. “Looks like something from a science lab.” “Why don’t you eat normal food, like pizza?” added Candice. Nilsa took a quick look at the other lunches— pizza, fries, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Suddenly, she didn’t feel hungry anymore. Quietly, she closed her lunchbox. When Nilsa got home, she cried out, “Why did you pack that strange food, Mom?” Her mother looked surprised. “Strange? That’s our traditional dish. It’s part of our hometown culture. Your great-grandmother used to make it.” “But everyone made fun of me,” Nilsa said sadly. “Then maybe next time, you can help them understand,” her mom said gently. “Tell them where it comes from, or share some with them. People often think something is strange just because they’ve never tried it.” Nilsa thought for a moment. “Will you teach me how to make it?” Her mom smiled. “Of course. Let’s cook together tonight.” The next day at lunch, Nilsa opened her lunchbox confidently. The familiar smell spread through the room. She offered some to her classmates. One by one, they tasted the soup. Some liked it, some didn’t, but nobody laughed. Instead, they asked questions about the ingredients (原料) and the cooking method. Nilsa smiled. “This is a traditional dish from my hometown. My great-grandmother used to make it. It’s part of my family’s story.” She realized that sharing her food was more than just about taste— it was sharing the culture, her hometown, her family, and a little part about herself. She returned home that afternoon, feeling proud. Her mom asked, “How was the lunch?” Nilsa smiled. “Not everyone loved it, but they listened. And that’s the part that counts.” 1．What did Nilsa’s classmates think of sancocho at first? A．It smelled and looked unusual. B．It seemed like a traditional soup. C．It was full of love from hometown. D．It had ingredients from a science lab. 2．How did Nilsa feel when she shared the soup the next day? A．Unsure. B．Nervous. C．Lucky. D．Confident. 3．What has Nilsa learnt from her experience? A．Be thoughtful when sharing things. B．Sharing food is also sharing culture. C．It takes time to accept something new. D．It’s important to take normal food for lunch. 【答案】1．A 2．D 3．B 【导语】本文讲述了Nilsa因带家乡传统美食sancocho去学校而被同学嘲笑，在妈妈的开导和帮助下，她第二天主动分享并讲解这道菜的文化背景，最终赢得尊重和理解的故事。 1．第三段John说“What is that smell?”并皱起鼻子，第四段Codi说“Looks like something from a science lab.”，说明同学们起初认为sancocho的气味和外观都很奇怪。 2．倒数第六段提到“The next day at lunch, Nilsa opened her lunchbox confidently.”，因此第二天分享汤时她感到自信。 3．倒数第四段Nilsa意识到“sharing her food was more than just about taste— it was sharing the culture, her hometown, her family, and a little part about herself.”，因此她从这次经历中学到分享食物也是在分享文化。 / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 专题05 阅读理解（记叙文） Passage 1：1.A 2.D 3.C Passage 2：1.C 2.D 3.A Passage 3：1.A 2.B 3.C Passage 4：1.D 2.A 3.C Passage 5：1.B 2.A 3.D Passage 6：1.B 2.C 3.D Passage 7：1.B 2.C 3.B Passage 8：1.D 2.A 3.B Passage 9：1.D 2.B 3.C Passage 10：1.B 2.C 3.D Passage 11：1.B 2.D 3.C 4.B Passage 12：1.A 2.D 3.B / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 专题05 阅读理解（记叙文） Passage 1 （2026·北京燕山·一模）It was a long night. Our dog Precious was having puppies. I stayed by her side. After six hours, the puppies finally arrived. The first was black and white. The next two were tan (棕褐色的) and brown, and the last two were also black and white. I counted five puppies and went to tell my wife, Judy, that everything was okay. When we came back, we saw a sixth puppy alone in the cage. Judy noticed something was wrong. The puppy had a cleft lip and palate (唇腭裂 ), which meant it couldn’t close its mouth or suckle (吸吮). The vet said it would cost a lot to fix, and the puppy might not survive. We couldn’t afford it, but I decided to try my best to help the puppy. I fed it with a syringe every two hours for over 10 days. The puppy slowly learned to eat soft food. After five weeks, we found homes for all the puppies except the one with the cleft lip. One day, our neighbor, a retired (退休的) teacher, asked if she could have a puppy for her grandson. When they arrived, I told her all the puppies were taken. Just then, the little puppy with the cleft lip started to yelp (吠叫). The boy ran to the puppy, calling it “my puppy”. He looked up at his grandmother and said, “Look, Grandma! They found homes for all the puppies except the pretty one.” The teacher asked if the puppy was available. I said yes. The boy hugged the puppy tightly (紧紧地). The image of the boy and his puppy still stays with me. I think it must be a wonderful feeling to look at a small animal and see nothing except “the pretty one”. 1．What can we know about the sixth puppy? A．It had trouble eating. B．It was black and white. C．It lived alone all the time. D．It was the writer’s favorite. 2．What did the writer do to help the sixth puppy? A．He took it to the vet every day. B．He taught it to play with the boy. C．He asked neighbors to look after it. D．He fed it with a syringe for over 10 days. 3．What can we learn from the story? A．It’s not easy to keep pets at home. B．It’s expensive to look after sick pets. C．We should accept and care for every life. D．We should make friends with pretty animals. Passage 2 （2026·北京朝阳·一模）“Dear Daddy” Notes My father was the gentlest and most caring dad in the world. But when we argued, he became strict and never considered that there could be another side. My words seemed to reach no one because his ears were closed. I could never win. When my father refused to understand that I needed privacy for my phone, I felt frustrated (沮丧的) and even cried. When he noticed I was trying to explain my reason for not wearing uniforms to school in junior high, he ended our “discussion”, leaving me silently sad. Later, when he refused to let me go on my last-year class trip to Montreal, I could do nothing but run out of his room in great sadness. I couldn’t get him to listen to my side, maybe he would read it. Hoping his eyes would be more open than his ears, I wrote a note that began “Dear Daddy” and ended with how much I respected his opinion, hated to fight with him, valued our relationship, and loved him. I put the note under his door and raced back to my room. Minutes later, there was a knock at my door. Seeing my father’s face, I knew my note had softened his strictness and touched his heart. Getting his agreement to go to Montreal was sweet. Even better was discovering a way to argue with him without tears, ending with a hug instead. My “Dear Daddy” notes became a way to follow up on many of our arguments. During our most heated disagreements, I knew how to get through to him, but his firm (坚定的) final word left me speechless. Years later, my father and I still share those sweet memories about my “Dear Daddy” notes. Whenever we look back on our heated disagreements and how those little notes helped him finally understand me, we can’t help smiling. He never said he knew my little plan, but I could always tell he loved every note that helped him see my way. To this day, those notes remain one of my favorite stories between us. 1．How did the writer feel when her father refused her Montreal trip? A．Nervous. B．Lonely. C．Disappointed. D．Calm. 2．What could the “Dear Daddy” notes help the writer do? A．Send messages faster. B．Avoid meeting her father. C．Improve her writing skills. D．Make her father understand her. 3．What can we learn from the passage? A．Understanding matters more than winning. B．Reaching agreement isn’t important in argument. C．Sweet memories often come from heated fights. D．Children should consider their parents’ opinions. Passage 3 （2026·北京顺义·一模）The Math Challenge It was Friday, and there were only 15 minutes until lunch. All the students in Mrs. Stretch’s math class were waiting excitedly for the fun game called Around the World. This was Eddie’s favorite activity. He loved racing against classmates to solve math problems quickly. Eddie sometimes won and sometimes lost, but his friend Michael was always the champion. Michael never lost and beat everyone in class every week. Soon the game started. Mrs. Stretch let the new student Talia play first. Talia was very fast. She beat Eddie, Vivian, and many other students one by one. No one could stop her. Finally, only Michael was left. The whole class became quiet and watched carefully. When Mrs. Stretch gave the question, Talia answered correctly before Michael. Everyone cheered loudly for the new winner. After class, Eddie found Michael sitting sadly at his desk with his head down. Eddie walked over and asked, “You OK?” Michael didn’t look up. Eddie could tell he was upset. He sat beside Michael and said, “It’s OK to lose. I lose all the time, and you’re still great at math. ” Michael looked up and said quietly, “I thought no one liked me. They cheered when I lost. ” Eddie smiled and explained that the class was just surprised and happy for Talia’s amazing work. He told Michael that one loss didn’t change how good he was. Then Eddie said, “We can practice math together. I can help you, and you can help me. Next time you can challenge her again. ” Michael felt much better and said with a little smile, “Challenge accepted!” Finally, the two friends walked out together to join their classmates. Michael was no longer sad. He felt hopeful and ready to practice hard for the next game. 1．What do you know about the game “Around the World” in the passage? A．It is a race to solve math problems.

His grandma’s noodle stand was full of noise and people. Jared sighed (叹气) heavily. He had wanted to spend his school holiday playing video games, not sitting in this hot food market at nine o’clock in the morning. “Ugh, why are you still working at your age? You’re seventy-two!” Jared asked. Grandma just smiled and kept cooking, her hands moving quickly — pouring soup, adding toppings, passing bowls to customers with a warm nod. “Sit there and watch, boy,” Grandma said. “There are things books do not teach.” Jared didn’t understand. To him, it just looked like hard, tiring work. As the morning went on, Jared began to notice small things. Grandma knew every customer’s name and she remembered their small favorites — extra fish balls for one, no spring onions for another, less salt for the third. When a little boy dropped his spoon, Grandma quietly handed him a new one before he even asked. When an old lady struggled with her tray, she came around and helped her take it to her table. “Don’t you get tired of all this?” Jared finally asked during a short break. Grandma smiled. “Of course, I do. But without it, I was never able to pay for your father’s education. And when I see elderly people who might not get a good meal for the day, I know why I must continue. Tiredness goes away. But the will to keep going, bowl after bowl, stays.” Jared didn’t say anything. He had thought his grandma’s job was just about making noodles. But watching her today, Jared saw how Grandma served each bowl with care. What he had thought was just cooking turned out to be admirable work. “You should enjoy life in your old age!” Jared asked as he helped clean up. Grandma looked at him and said, “People remember how you make them feel. In fact, I enjoy spending my time this way.” Jared laughed a little. Between playing video games and making someone smile, he now knew which one counted more. 1．How did Jared feel at his grandma’s noodle stand at first? A．Excited and hopeful. B．Surprised and curious. C．Upset and afraid. D．Unhappy and bored. 2．What did Jared notice as the morning went on? A．Grandma remembered customers’ likes and dislikes. B．Grandma often forgot to add toppings to the noodles. C．Grandma rested sometimes because she felt very tired. D．Grandma cared about how to make money quickly. 3．What can we learn from the story? A．Making noodles is a good way to make money for a family. B．Young people should respect and understand their elders. C．Helping others and caring for people can bring true happiness. D．It is important to learn how to cook from your family members. Passage 5 （2026·北京丰台·一模）The bell woke me and the pain took my breath away. The doctors had promised this operation would help me walk again. Instead, my legs felt strange and every movement sent sharp pain through my knees. I shouted until my throat burned. Night after night, alone in the hospital with my pain, I told my mom through tears, “I can’t do this. There is no hope. I’m giving up.” But my mother refused to accept that. Every morning, she drove me to recovery training: lifting weights, pulling myself on parallel bars, and learning to fall and stand again. My hands shook. My muscles ached badly. I hated every second of it. One Tuesday, a girl with golden hair rolled her wheelchair beside mine. “I’m Betty,” she said gently. I turned away, but Betty didn’t press. She simply opened up, “After my operation, I cried every day for two weeks. I had the same treatment and it failed twice.” Her honesty drew my eyes back. “Giving up just lets the pain win,” she continued softly. “I’m not asking for courage. I’m just asking for one more day. Will you try one more day with me?” That question lit a small hope in my heart. The next morning, I arrived before she did. “You came,” Betty said with a smile. I whispered, “Just one day.” One day turned into a week, then two. Betty was there for every painful moment—steadying (使稳定) my shaking hands, catching me before I fell, celebrating each trembling step. When I broke down in tears three weeks in, crying that nothing had changed, Betty simply sat beside me and said, “Three weeks ago, you couldn’t stand for three seconds. Today, you held on for six. That’s change.” Together, we kept going. One month later, I pushed off the bars and stood alone for eight full seconds. Recovery still brings aches and doubts, but now, I remember Betty’s question— and the choice to try one more day. She taught me that true strength isn’t about never falling, but about having someone who stays steadily by your side, saying, “It’s okay. Let’s try again.” 1．How did the writer feel after the operation? A．Thankful. B．Hopeless. C．Confident. D．Bored. 2．The writer decided to try one more day because ________. A．Betty’s warm words gave her hope B．her mother asked her not to give up C．she could stand for a long time alone D．the training became easy and interesting 3．What did the writer learn from the experience? A．No one can succeed alone. B．Hard practice builds strength. C．Troubled times require family ties. D．Strength comes from trying with support. Passage 6 （2026·北京房山·一模）Alice and I were both in the school writing club. We weren’t exactly friends, just two people who happened to share the same hobby. We sat on opposite sides of the room and wrote our own stories. Then there was a writing competition at school. The winner would get his or her story published in the local newspaper. We both wanted that. Suddenly, we were rivals (竞争对手). I’d been working on a story about a girl who discovered an old camera in her attic (阁楼), a camera that could take photos of the past. I heard that Alice was writing something about time too. That made me worried. What if our stories ended up being too similar? But I wasn’t about to change my idea. It was mine, and I believed in it. I pushed the thought away and kept writing. Finally, we handed in our stories without a word. The next morning, our teacher called us over. “I read both of your stories,” she said. “Alice, your characters feel real, like people I might know.” She looked at me, “As for yours, your time-travel idea is really creative.” She stopped for a while, “Have you thought about working together?” We glanced (瞥) at each other, unsure. But that afternoon, we talked. I told her about the magic camera. She described her main character, a girl who missed her grandmother terribly. And then it clicked. What if the camera let that girl see her grandmother one last time? Her character and my idea fit together like puzzle pieces. We spent the next three days writing side by side. When we finally finished, the story was better than anything either of us could have written alone. It was chosen for the competition. A few weeks later, we found out it won first prize. Standing next to Alice when we got the award, I realized something important. Competition pushes us to do our best. But working together? That’s where the real magic happens. 1．How did the writer feel when she heard Alice was writing something similar? A．Unsure. B．Worried. C．Excited. D．Proud. 2．What did the teacher suggest that Alice and the writer do? A．Rewrite their stories. B．Keep their ideas secret. C．Work together on a story. D．Hand in their stories on time. 3．What can we learn from the writer’s experience? A．Hobbies help us grow. B．Writing takes hard work. C．Creative ideas bring success. D．Teamwork creates better results. Passage 7 （2026·北京平谷·一模）I grew up in a small town called Palmerston, Ontario. My parents had a small store, and we lived a simple life. In high school, I dreamed of working in TV. But when I talked to a school advisor, she told me I could only be a nurse, a teacher, or a hairdresser. I was too shy to tell anyone about my real dream — except my parents. They always said, “You can do anything you want.” With their support, I applied for (申请) the radio and TV program at Ryerson University in Toronto. I was accepted and graduated as the best student. But finding a job was not easy. CBC and CTV both said NO to me because I had no experience. Then I heard that Global Television was just starting. I made a brave decision. I found the name of the president and decided to call him directly. My heart was beating fast, but I practiced what I would say. When he answered the phone, I politely asked for a visit to the studio. He was surprised but agreed. I chose 11 o’clock for the visit, hoping he might ask me to lunch. Sure enough, after the tour, he did. During the lunch, he asked me directly, “What do you want?” I answered, “All I want is a chance. If there is a job on camera, I want a chance to try. I just want you to know me.” Three months later, his secretary called. There was a chance to try out for a new game show called Wintario. I went, and everything went well. I got the job at once. That was the start of a 22-year career. I went on to host hundreds of shows, appeared in ads, movies and celebrations, and built a life I had only dreamed of as a teenager. Looking back, I learned that dreams don’t come true by waiting. You have to be brave, take risks, and take the first step — even when you are afraid. One phone call changed my life. You never know where your courage will lead you. 1．How did the writer feel when she called the president of Global Television? A．Relaxed. B．Nervous. C．Excited. D．Bored. 2．What happened to the writer after she made the phone call? A．She got an on-camera job at once. B．She was invited to host a show that day. C．She had a tour and lunch with the president. D．She was told to come back three months later. 3．What can we learn from the writer’s experience? A．Don’t take any risks in life. B．Don’t give up your dreams easily. C．Don’t blindly follow others’ advice. D．Don’t make friends with strict people. Passage 8 （2026·北京西城·一模）The Dream Builder Finn’s younger brother, Leo, had a serious immune deficiency (免疫缺陷) disease, making the outside world a dangerous place. Finn saw the longing in Leo’s eyes when he talked about his own hikes or bike rides. Finn was a member of his school’s tech club. He’d built robots. One night, watching Leo get lost in a map, Finn had an idea: If Leo couldn’t go to the world, he would bring the world to Leo. He called this idea “The Dreamwalker.” It was about creating a personalized, sensory experience. Finn improved an old virtual reality (VR) headset, but the key was a pair of special gloves he engineered himself. They could simulate (模拟) the feeling of touching different things. Then came the hard part: building the “worlds”. For a week, Finn took a 360-degree camera on his hike. He didn’t just film; he recorded the sound of the river, the wind, and the birds. He reached out and touched hard stones, soft grass, and cold water, noting the exact sensation. Back in the lab, he synchronized (同步) the videos to the headset. He programmed the gloves: When Leo “touched” the river, some water produced by an improved computer cooling fan would hit his face, and the special gloves would help him feel the movement of the water. Then came the first test. Leo put on the headset and gloves, and started the program. He was silent for a minute. Then, “I can...feel the river!” he said. His smile widened behind the headset. For twenty minutes, Leo explored, reaching out, laughing as water hit his face by the “river”. Finn filmed Leo’s reaction, a joy he hadn’t seen in years. He realized that the highest purpose of technology and skill isn’t to win competitions or create new inventions. It’s to be a bridge. It’s to use your knowledge as a tool for understanding and to give someone you love the irreplaceable gift of an experience. He learned that the greatest engineering is the kind that connects one human heart to another. 1．Why was the outside world a dangerous place for Leo? A．Because he was too young. B．Because he had poor eyesight. C．Because he got lost easily outside. D．Because he had a serious disease. 2．What did Finn do for Leo? A．He created a set of sensory tools. B．He personalized a special robot. C．He recorded all of his bike rides. D．He bought a VR headset with nature programs. 3．What did Finn learn from this experience? A．Human connections are based on the development of technology. B．Technology finds its true value in enriching the life of loved ones. C．Diseases cannot hold back the dreams of those who never give up. D．Engineering can help people win awards and prizes in competitions. Passage 9 （2026·北京昌平·一模）My mother’s favorite bowl was not expensive, but it meant a lot to her. It was a simple Chinese bowl that she had used for thirty years. Last month, I dropped it while washing it, and it broke into pieces. I stood there, unable to move. I was worried that she would be angry. When my mother walked in, she didn’t get angry. Instead, she picked up the broken pieces carefully. “Don’t worry, Alice,” she said. She told me about an ancient Chinese art called ceramic (陶瓷) mending. It is a special way of fixing broken things with small pieces of metal. Instead of hiding the broken lines, this art shows them clearly. It makes the repaired object even stronger. It treats the breakage as a part of history, not something to hide. A few days later, we watched a worker repair the bowl. He carefully made small holes and put silver pieces of metal across the broken lines. They looked like stars in the sky. “You see,” my mother said in a low voice, “We don’t need to be shy about the broken parts. They show that the bowl has lived through hard times. A bowl that has never been broken is just a bowl, but this one is special because its scars (疤痕) have become art.” This experience made me think about my own life. Like many teenagers, I used to try to be “perfect”. I felt bad when I failed a test or had an argument with a friend. I thought any mistake made me less worthy. But looking at the bowl, I realized that my experiences—even the painful ones—were my “start”. They hold me together and make me who I am. 1．Why did the writer feel worried after breaking the bowl? A．Because the bowl cost a lot. B．Because she kept on making mistakes. C．Because she would pay for her carelessness. D．Because she feared making her mother angry. 2．How did the writer’s mother deal with the broken bowl? A．By throwing it away. B．By deciding to repair it. C．By putting it away in a box. D．By replacing it with a new one. 3．What do painful experiences mean to the writer? A．Correct paths to perfection. B．Key chances to build a strong will. C．Necessary parts of personal growth. D．Valuable memories of being honest. Passage 1 （2026·北京海淀·一模）. Matthew followed his dad and the bellman Mr. Colby up the narrow, shaky stairs of the old meetinghouse. When they reached the belfry (钟楼), 80 feet above the ground, the town below looked like a tiny toy village. Behind them hung the huge, 1,500-pound bell. The bell had worked for the town for almost 250 years. Matthew was there that day to take photos of the bell for his history fair project. When he touched one of the thick wooden beams holding the bell, his finger sank into soft, rotten wood. “Maybe it was just a small, harmless spot,” he thought to himself. So he didn’t say anything. Then it was time for Mr. Colby to ring the bell, so he went downstairs to pull the rope. As the huge bell swung back and forth, the rotten beam moved with it. At that moment, Matthew found that the wood around a bolt (螺栓) had broken and fallen apart. His heart raced: What if other beams were rotting too? What if one broke and the heavy bell fell down? He looked at dad, who was still admiring the view from above. “Dad, look!” he shouted, pointing at the broken beam. When dad turned around, his smile disappeared when he saw it. Matthew didn’t waste a second. He hurried down the stairs to stop Mr. Colby. Mr. Colby went up again and checked the beams with his screwdriver (螺丝刀). He shook his head sadly. Years of wind and rain had eaten away at the wood. The whole support structure needed to be replaced, and the bell shouldn’t be rung again until it was fixed. Days later, Matthew finished his project using the photos he had already taken. And the belfry was fixed just in time for the 250th anniversary of the town. He was glad he’d spoken up instead of staying quiet. At the celebration, Mr. Colby spoke in front of everyone. “If it weren’t for Matthew’s sharp eye and quick thinking, the damage could have been much worse.” Matthew felt proud but a little shy. Then Mr. Colby handed him the rope. Matthew rang the bell for the town’s 250th birthday. 1．What did Matthew find when Mr. Colby rang the bell? A．The rope broke in half. B．One of the beams moved. C．The whole belfry shook. D．The bell fell to the ground. 2．What was Matthew’s reaction (反应) after he found the problem? A．He felt nervous at first, then became calm and left. B．He felt scared at first, then became nervous and hid. C．He felt unsure at first, then became worried and took action. D．He felt worried at first, then became brave and rang the bell. 3．What can we learn from Matthew’s experience? A．Hard work leads to good results. B．Good projects need creative ideas. C．Work together to make tasks easier. D．Speak up before small problems grow. Passage 2 （2026·北京石景山·一模）As I stepped out of the DMV (车管所) with my license and my head held high, I thought of all the new memories I could create. The places I could drive to were limitless. As I started driving, however, I realized that it wasn’t the GPS saying, “You have reached your destination,” that gave me a rush in my heart. The journey became more electrifying as I sang along to my “Driving Playlist”. I never understood when my mom asked me, “Do you want to go out for a drive, man?” There was nowhere to go—I didn’t have a class or a club that we would be driving to. It would be 5:00 pm on a random Tuesday when she posed the question. I declined the offer. For a long time, I approached my creative aspirations the same way I viewed those drives—only with a purpose when given a specific destination. I only picked up a paintbrush when school required it for a project. I only took up a book when I had a reading assignment. I knew I needed to change the belief that because there wasn’t a grade attached to my passion, that was meaningless. In an art project, a good friend of mine offered a solution that erased my desire for perfection: she told me to just draw aimlessly on paper. Without an end product in mind, I was able to construct a masterpiece that I could be proud of without having to receive an “A+” on it. In the past, I was driven by the fear of missing out (FOMO). Instead of enjoying moments with my friends, I attended every single academic event because I worried about the consequences if I missed one. At the start of my senior year, I feared missing out on the “high school experience” that was portrayed (描绘) in the movies I watched growing up. Yet, I am now defining my own version of that experience. It is worthwhile to pursue simple passions in life. There doesn’t need to be a grand reason for venturing out of the house; driving just for the sake of driving is my favourite pastime. The day I got my license, I no longer grabbed the wheel with hesitation; I was in control of it as I uncovered a new world of possibilities. 1．How did the author feel when he first got his driver’s license? A．Rewarded. B．Heartened. C．Honoured. D．Relieved. 2．What changed the author’s perspective on school life? A．His desire to receive an “A+”. B．Moments shared with his friends. C．A product to create a masterpiece. D．A friend’s suggestion to draw aimlessly. 3．The author’s previous FOMO was related to ________. A．the movies on high school life B．a grand reason for driving around C．the pressure of study in high school D．a grade attached to academic events 4．What can we learn from this passage? A．Trends help you find your true passion. B．A journey holds more than the destination. C．A well-planned path finally leads to success. D．Childhood shows the man, as morning shows the day. Passage 3 （2026·北京通州·一模）Madison’s Dream Madison looked out of the classroom window. A bird flew freely across the sky, cutting through a white cloud. Total freedom, she thought, wishing she could escape (摆脱) math class like that bird. Her mind wandered to her horse, Star, and the summer days riding him. Lost in her daydream, she didn’t hear Mrs. Landon calling her name until the teacher’s voice brought her back. The class laughed as Mrs. Landon asked about the homework. “I didn’t have trouble doing it,” Madison said, “but I forgot to bring it.” More laughter filled the room. Mrs. Landon sighed, clearly disappointed with Madison’s constant daydreaming, and mentioned talking to her parents. Soon, Mrs. Landon introduced a special guest: Dr. Landon, an animal doctor visiting for Career Day. He talked about how important school grades were and how hard he studied math and science when he was young. Madison found it hard to focus until one word caught her ear: “horse.” Dr. Landon explained that working with horses lets him be outside all day. “Does anyone here have a horse?” he asked. Madison’s hand shot up. “I do! His name is Star!” “A big brown horse on Anderson Road?” Dr. Landon asked. He remembered treating Star. Madison was amazed and happy that he knew her horse. “So you spend your days taking care of horses?” “Most days,” Dr. Landon said, describing his job visiting horses all over the area. “It’s a lot of work, but I love it.” Madison was amazed. A clear picture of her future suddenly appeared: She would be an animal doctor for horses! The idea filled her with excitement. Her life suddenly felt bigger and full of purpose. That afternoon, Madison changed her plans when she got home. She hurried past her surprised parents in the kitchen. “I’m going to study math for an hour,” she said loudly, “then ride Star.” Her parents looked at each other in surprise. “She’s studying before riding?” her mother whispered. Her father shrugged, looking proud. “Must be that talk I had about college last week. I guess she listened.” He smiled, pleased with himself. Madison overheard them as she went upstairs, smiling too. She remembered her dad talking about college last week, but her real inspiration was different: Dr. Landon and his life with horses. She decided she would study math and science hard every night now—those were important subjects for becoming an animal doctor. Her new plan had begun. 1．What was Madison doing when Mrs. Landon called her name? A．She was doing her math exercises. B．She was lost in her daydream. C．She was running after a bird. D．She was riding her horse on the farm. 2．Why did Madison’s parents feel surprised when she got home that afternoon? A．Because Madison studied math before riding her horse. B．Because Madison talked to her parents about her dream. C．Because Madison made a plan to improve her riding skills. D．Because Madison asked Dr. Landon to help her with math. 3．What made Madison begin her new plan? A．Her father talked about college last week. B．Her teacher’s warning to call her parents. C．Her dream of being an animal doctor. D．Her wish to improve her horse-riding performance. Passage 4 （2026·北京石景山·一模）Nilsa stared at the classroom clock, counting down the minutes until lunch. Her mom had packed her favorite meal— sancocho, a rich chicken soup from their hometown. In the dining hall, she poured the warm soup into a bowl. Just as she was about to take a sip (一小口) , her classmates noticed it. “What is that smell?” John asked, wrinkling (皱起) his nose. “It’s sancocho. It’s a kind of chicken soup,” Nilsa replied. “That doesn’t look like any soup I’ve ever seen,” said Codi. “Looks like something from a science lab.” “Why don’t you eat normal food, like pizza?” added Candice. Nilsa took a quick look at the other lunches— pizza, fries, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Suddenly, she didn’t feel hungry anymore. Quietly, she closed her lunchbox. When Nilsa got home, she cried out, “Why did you pack that strange food, Mom?” Her mother looked surprised. “Strange? That’s our traditional dish. It’s part of our hometown culture. Your great-grandmother used to make it.” “But everyone made fun of me,” Nilsa said sadly. “Then maybe next time, you can help them understand,” her mom said gently. “Tell them where it comes from, or share some with them. People often think something is strange just because they’ve never tried it.” Nilsa thought for a moment. “Will you teach me how to make it?” Her mom smiled. “Of course. Let’s cook together tonight.” The next day at lunch, Nilsa opened her lunchbox confidently. The familiar smell spread through the room. She offered some to her classmates. One by one, they tasted the soup. Some liked it, some didn’t, but nobody laughed. Instead, they asked questions about the ingredients (原料) and the cooking method. Nilsa smiled. “This is a traditional dish from my hometown. My great-grandmother used to make it. It’s part of my family’s story.” She realized that sharing her food was more than just about taste— it was sharing the culture, her hometown, her family, and a little part about herself. She returned home that afternoon, feeling proud. Her mom asked, “How was the lunch?” Nilsa smiled. “Not everyone loved it, but they listened. And that’s the part that counts.” 1．What did Nilsa’s classmates think of sancocho at first? A．It smelled and looked unusual. B．It seemed like a traditional soup. C．It was full of love from hometown. D．It had ingredients from a science lab. 2．How did Nilsa feel when she shared the soup the next day? A．Unsure. B．Nervous. C．Lucky. D．Confident. 3．What has Nilsa learnt from her experience? A．Be thoughtful when sharing things. B．Sharing food is also sharing culture. C．It takes time to accept something new. D．It’s important to take normal food for lunch. / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
