专题02 阅读理解（记叙文） 主题01 人与社会——历史社会与文化 Passage 1 （2026·广东惠州市·二模） Finland has topped the World Happiness Report for the past eight years. Besides its welfare system, Finland’s high ranking is also due to its people’s close connection with nature and daily sauna (桑拿). Last June, the country’s tourism agency hosted a master class, offering winners chosen from a social media challenge a free trip to Finland to learn from local masters. I didn’t participate in the challenge, but I was inspired by the idea. So I decided to travel to Finland myself to explore what lies behind this sustained happiness. In my journey to understand Finnish happiness, I sought out some advice from the local masters. A restaurant owner taught me how traditional foods can reconnect us with nature;a vibrant elderly woman demonstrated the power of focus through diving; a ceramic artist encouraged me to do things by hand — like reading, picking berries, or knitting; and almost everyone emphasized the sauna, which I tried myself there. Back in New York, I attempted to bring these into my own life: I found a backyard sauna in Brooklyn, shopped at farmer’ markets, and tried growing herbs. However, my kitchen received little sunlight, so I carried my small garden up to the roof each morning, sometimes forgetting to bring it back down at night. Summer storms soaked (浸泡) the soil, and eventually, the herbs died and even the pots were thrown away by someone. Then in late July, I went through a rough patch in my relationship. I ate very little or cried at random. Soon, even the sauna no longer lifted my spirits. I was sitting at the beach one afternoon, wondering why nature was not making me feel better, when the answer hit me: I was trying too hard to live exactly like the Finns. I’d missed the point of what all the masters were saying: Quiet the mind, and find pleasure in small acts and observations. “Simple things,” Ms. Pajunen, one of the masters, had said. “This is at the core of what Finns have to offer the rest of the world.” 1．Why did the author decide to visit Finland? A．To join a social media challenge trip. B．To find the secret of lasting happiness. C．To study the welfare system of Finland. D．To experience natural scenery and sauna. 2．What did the author learn from the masters in Finland? A．The history of sauna culture. B．The professional skills of diving. C．The value of traditional industries. D．The practical habits for a joyful life. 3．How did the author’s attempt at Finnish living end up? A．It failed to achieve its original purpose. B．It significantly improved her well-being. C．It succeeded after some initial struggles. D．It gained support from her neighborhood. 4．What can we learn from the author’s experience? A．Nature is the source of Finnish romance. B．Finnish happiness is from various activities. C．Adopting Finnish lifestyle leads to frustration. D．Finnish happiness lies in appreciating ordinary things. 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．A 4．D 【导语】  本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述作者前往芬兰探寻其蝉联八年幸福榜首的秘诀，尝试当地生活方式并领悟到幸福核心的经历。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段中的“So I decided to travel to Finland myself to explore what lies behind this sustained happiness.(于是我决定亲自前往芬兰，探寻这种持久幸福感背后的奥秘)”可知，作者决定去芬兰是为了寻找持久幸福的秘诀。故选B项。 2．推理判断题。根据第二段中的“A restaurant owner taught me how traditional foods can reconnect us with nature;a vibrant elderly woman demonstrated the power of focus through diving; a ceramic artist encouraged me to do things by hand — like reading, picking berries, or knitting; and almost everyone emphasized the sauna, which I tried myself there. (一位餐厅老板让我明白了传统食物如何帮我们重新联结自然；一位精神矍铄的老妇人用潜水的经历向我展示了专注的力量；一位陶艺家鼓励我动手去做一些事——比如阅读、采摘浆果或是编织；而几乎所有人都对桑拿浴赞不绝口，我也在当地亲身体验了一番。)”可知，作者从芬兰的行家那里学到了能获得愉悦生活的实用习惯。故选D项。 3．推理判断题。根据第三段中的“However, my kitchen received little sunlight, so I carried my small garden up to the roof each morning, sometimes forgetting to bring it back down at night. Summer storms soaked (浸泡) the soil, and eventually, the herbs died and even the pots were thrown away by someone. Then in late July, I went through a rough patch in my relationship. I ate very little or cried at random. Soon, even the sauna no longer lifted my spirits. (然而，我家的厨房几乎晒不到太阳，于是我每天早上都把我的小花园搬到屋顶上，有时晚上还会忘了把它搬下来。夏季的暴雨浸透了土壤，最终香草都枯萎了，连花盆也被人扔掉了。到了七月下旬，我的感情生活陷入了一段艰难的时期。我吃得很少，还会没来由地掉眼泪。很快，就连桑拿浴也无法再让我心情好转了。)”可知，作者尝试芬兰式生活的努力没能达到原本的目的。故选A项。 4．推理判断题。根据第四段中的“I’d missed the point of what all the masters were saying: Quiet the mind, and find pleasure in small acts and observations. “Simple things,” Ms. Pajunen, one of the masters, had said. “This is at the core of what Finns have to offer the rest of the world.”(我此前没有领会到那些行家话语里的精髓：静下心来，从微小的举动和观察中寻找乐趣。其中一位行家帕尤宁女士曾说过：“简单的小事，这是芬兰人能带给世界其他地方的核心所在”)”可知，我们能从作者的经历中领悟到，芬兰人的幸福在于珍惜和欣赏平凡的事物。故选D项。 Passage 2 （2026·广东佛山市·二模） In 1975, five-year-old Jeff, in a wheelchair, asked his parents if he could meet Fred Rogers of the Neighborhood rather than going to Disneyland. It was the family’s own version of “Make-A-Wish,” proposed on the eve of Jeff’s major spinal (脊椎的) surgery. Jeff said Mr. Rogers told him that he was special and that he was just fine the way he was, and it gave him confidence and made him feel good. Jeff’s parents wrote a letter to the television star about the boy’s desire to meet him, and they got a handwritten answer that led to a breakfast meeting at a hotel. Later they continued to correspond; Rogers wrote to say how glad he was that Jeff’s surgery had gone well. Then in 1980, Rogers decided he wanted to have a child in a wheelchair on his show for a theme week on all things mechanical. He remembered Jeff and insisted it had to be Jeff. On the Neighborhood, Rogers asked Jeff straightforwardly about the mechanics of his wheelchair, and how he wound up in it. Producer Margy Whitmer recalled Jeff’s appearance on the show: “It was one of the most impressive moments... Here’s this child who has multiple disabilities, and Fred said, ‘Talk to me about that wheelchair. Talk to me about what’s wrong with you.’ And this extraordinary kid talked about his medical condition (resulting from spinal tumor) in a matter-of-fact way. Fred presented it to kids watching the show, as ‘this is just the way he is.’” This was the philosophy of Fred Rogers’s complete acceptance: There was no topic he wouldn’t address on air, no matter how difficult. “We don’t fudge things,” he said once when asked about the sources of the show’s popularity. “People long to be in touch with honesty.” Jeff and Rogers didn’t meet again until 1999, when Rogers was being honored with a place in the Television Hall of Fame. When Jeff rolled onstage to surprise him, Rogers ran up to the stage and hugged him as if they were the only two people in the auditorium. “On behalf of millions of children and grown-ups,” said Jeff, “It’s you I like.” There wasn’t a dry eye in the well-dressed house. 1．What inspired Jeff to meet Fred Rogers? A．His eagerness to seek praise. B．His need for Rogers’s advice. C．His worries about his surgery. D．His fondness for Rogers’s show. 2．What do Rogers’s words to Jeff on the show illustrate? A．His desire to impress the audience. B．His effort to make people feel special. C．His openness in discussing children’s disability. D．His concern about the child’s medical condition. 3．What does the underlined word “fudge” in paragraph 4 mean? A．Avoid. B．Challenge. C．Mess up. D．Comment on. 4．What can be a suitable title for the text? A．An Excellent Neighbor B．The Power of Acceptance C．The Value of Friendship D．A Special Wheelchair Boy 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．A 4．B 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了弗雷德·罗杰斯通过真诚接纳，给予残疾男孩杰夫信心，展现接受的力量的故事。 1．推理判断题。根据第一段中“In 1975, five-year-old Jeff, in a wheelchair, asked his parents if he could meet Fred Rogers of the Neighborhood rather than going to Disneyland. It was the family’s own version of “Make-A-Wish,” proposed on the eve of Jeff’s major spinal (脊椎的) surgery. Jeff said Mr. Rogers told him that he was special and that he was just fine the way he was, and it gave him confidence and made him feel good.(1975年，五岁的杰夫常年依靠轮椅生活。他向父母提出，自己不想去迪士尼乐园，而是想见《罗杰斯先生的邻居》节目的主持人弗雷德・罗杰斯。这场心愿，是杰夫一家专属的“许愿行动”，提出时，杰夫即将接受一场重大的脊椎手术。杰夫回忆，罗杰斯先生告诉他，他独一无二、本身的样子就很好。这番话给予了他莫大的自信，让他内心倍感温暖。)”可知，是杰夫对罗杰斯节目的喜爱促使他想见罗杰斯。故选D。 2．推理判断题。根据第三段“On the Neighborhood, Rogers asked Jeff straightforwardly about the mechanics of his wheelchair, and how he wound up in it. Producer Margy Whitmer recalled Jeff’s appearance on the show: “It was one of the most impressive moments... Here’s this child who has multiple disabilities, and Fred said, ‘Talk to me about that wheelchair. Talk to me about what’s wrong with you.’ And this extraordinary kid talked about his medical condition (resulting from spinal tumor) in a matter-of-fact way. Fred presented it to kids watching the show, as ‘this is just the way he is.’”(在《罗杰斯先生的邻居》节目录制现场，罗杰斯坦然地询问了杰夫轮椅的构造，以及他为何需要依靠轮椅生活。节目制片人玛吉・惠特默回忆起这次录制：“那是最令人动容的瞬间之一。这个身患多种残疾的孩子，在弗雷德的引导下，平静地讲述自己的状况。弗雷德坦然地向所有观众传递一个观念：这就是他原本的样子，无需避讳。”)”以及第四段中“This was the philosophy of Fred Rogers’s complete acceptance: There was no topic he wouldn’t address on air, no matter how difficult.(这正是弗雷德・罗杰斯的人生理念：全然接纳。无论话题多么沉重艰难，他都愿意在节目中坦诚探讨。)”可知，罗杰斯在节目中对杰夫说的话说明了他对讨论儿童残疾问题的开放态度。故选C。 3．词句猜测题。根据第四段中“There was no topic he wouldn’t address on air, no matter how difficult. “We don’t fudge things,” he said once when asked about the sources of the show’s popularity. “People long to be in touch with honesty.”(这正是弗雷德・罗杰斯的人生理念：全然接纳。无论话题多么沉重艰难，他都愿意在节目中坦诚探讨。曾有人问及节目长盛不衰的秘诀，他这样说道：“我们从不fudge现实、敷衍事实。所有人，都渴望真诚与坦荡。”)”可知，罗杰斯不会回避任何话题，人们渴望诚实，由此可推知，fudge意为“回避”。故选A。 4．主旨大意题。根据全文内容，尤其是结合第四段中“This was the philosophy of Fred Rogers’s complete acceptance: There was no topic he wouldn’t address on air, no matter how difficult.(这正是弗雷德・罗杰斯的人生理念：全然接纳。无论话题多么沉重艰难，他都愿意在节目中坦诚探讨。)”可知，文章主要讲述了弗雷德·罗杰斯完全接受他人的理念，通过与杰夫的互动，展示了接受的力量，这种力量能够给予人们信心和勇气，帮助他们面对生活中的挑战和困难。因此，B选项“接受的力量”最符合文章主旨。故选B。 主题02 人与社会——科学与技术 Passage 1 （2026·广东江门市·二模） At 27, as a new mother, I had been wrestling with stress and worry, which led me to explore acupuncture. A friend’s firm recommendation inspired me to book my first session. I chose Ora, a clinic I had visited during its grand opening in 2020, drawn to its environment and knowledgeable staff. Though the cost — $130 for an initial 65-minute session — was high, I viewed it as an investment in my well-being. Before the appointment, I researched how to prepare: eating a meal to stabilize blood sugar and avoiding medicine to ensure relaxation. Upon arriving at Ora, I was struck by the calming atmosphere. After a brief consultation with my acupuncturist, Sian James, who evaluated my lifestyle and health concerns, I changed into a towel and lay down. James checked my tongue, noting its red tip as a sign of stress, and explained how it guided her needle placement. She inserted 10-13 thin needles into my forehead, wrists, chest, knees, and feet. The slight pain was tolerable, and she explained that the selected points were targeted to stimulate my nervous system and release biochemicals to address stress. Once the needles were in place, I rested for 20-25 minutes in a dimly lit room with calming music. Initially tense, I eventually relaxed, drifting into a quiet state — deeply calm yet aware of my surroundings. When James removed the needles, I felt a profound sense of quiet that lasted the entire day. She advised avoiding tiring activities to maintain the effects. While the calmness faded by Monday morning, the experience was impactful. Acupuncture forced me to pause, breathe, and disconnect from life’s pressures. Though not a cure-all, acupuncture is a valuable tool for managing stress. As a person who struggled to unwind, I found it incredibly effective, and now, I plan to incorporate it into my routine. It’s a reminder to prioritize self-care. Otherwise, I couldn’t handle my busy work and daily life. 1．Why did the author decide to explore acupuncture? A．Because of a sports injury. B．Because of financial investment. C．Because of emotional anxiety. D．Because of a firm’s recommendation. 2．What can be inferred about the acupuncturist’s treatment approach? A．It relied on surroundings over needles. B．It used finger pressure instead of needles. C．It combined examination with assessment. D．It prioritized observation over communication. 3．How did the author feel after having acupuncture? A．Tired. B．Pressured. C．Cautious. D．Peaceful. 4．What does the author learn from her experience? A．Rome wasn’t built in a day. B．You can’t pour from an empty cup. C．Busy hands make a happy heart. D．A calm sea does not make a skilled sailor. 【答案】1．C 2．C 3．D 4．B 【导语】文章主要讲述了作者作为新妈妈，因压力和焦虑选择针灸治疗，并详细描述了治疗过程及感受，最后作者认识到自我照顾的重要性。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段中“At 27, as a new mother, I had been wrestling with stress and worry, which led me to explore acupuncture.(27岁那年，作为一个新妈妈，我一直在与压力和焦虑作斗争，这促使我去尝试针灸)”可知，作者尝试针灸是因为情感焦虑。 2．推理判断题。根据第二段中“After a brief consultation with my acupuncturist, Sian James, who evaluated my lifestyle and health concerns, I changed into a towel and lay down. James checked my tongue, noting its red tip as a sign of stress, and explained how it guided her needle placement.(在与针灸师希恩·詹姆斯进行了短暂的会诊后，她评估了我的生活方式和健康问题，我换上毛巾躺了下来。詹姆斯检查了我的舌头，注意到舌尖发红是压力的迹象，并解释了这是如何指导她下针的)”可知，针灸师既检查了作者的身体，又评估了作者的生活方式和健康问题，由此可推知，针灸师的治疗方法是结合检查和评估的。 3．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“When James removed the needles, I felt a profound sense of quiet that lasted the entire day.(当詹姆斯取下针时，我感到一种深深的平静，这种感觉持续了一整天)”可知，针灸后作者感到平静。 4．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“It’s a reminder to prioritize self-care. Otherwise, I couldn’t handle my busy work and daily life.(这提醒我要优先考虑自我照顾。否则，我无法应付繁忙的工作和日常生活)”可知，作者从自己的经历中学到了自我照顾的重要性，即人得先照顾好自己，才能有余力去处理其他事情，B项“You can’t pour from an empty cup.(你不能从一个空杯子里倒水)”意指要先关爱自己才能付出，与之相符。 Passage 2 （2026·广东湛江市·二模） I’m Kim. Despite all its weaknesses, Java has served me well. But I’ve never had strong feelings about Java itself. I liked some things about it, and I hated others. For many years my perspective was simple: I didn’t have to love Java, or whatever programming language, to finish my tasks well. That all changed a few months ago when I wrote my first Kotlin class. It was a pop-up adapter in just 86 lines, 17 of which were package and import statements, and I couldn’t get over how brief and readable it was. I could barely comprehend how little I wrote to get something to work. It took me a few passes, but all of a sudden, I sensed the difference. This wasn’t just about language features or what the FAQ (frequently asked questions) said the language was capable of. This was about how I felt. It was genuinely fun. I’d read code over and over and couldn’t believe how much I was accomplishing in so few lines. I couldn’t believe the clarity of the writing. Over the next few days, I wrote more and more Kotlin. I wrote my first extension. Then I rewrote an existing helper class and I wanted to write more. With just a few hours of effort, I cut 94 lines without breaking a sweat. I was amazed, excited, and having a ton of fun. I was also slightly amazed at this fresh experience brought on by a programming language. Over the next couple of weeks, that pleasant feeling just grew and grew. Whenever I’d have to work with Java, it was painful. I’d find myself rushing through it and making stupid mistakes because I had more important Kotlin files to attend to. But when I opened the Kotlin files, I felt at home, relaxed. The code was beautiful and expressive. It was brief but powerful. I kept finding new ways to write more clearly, more directly. And I was happy. 1．What did Kim initially think of Java? A．It was rather boring. B．It was very complex. C．It was a bit unstable. D．It was just workable. 2．What struck Kim most about Kotlin? A．Its loose structure. B．Its high efficiency. C．Its official introduction. D．Its numerous functions. 3．Why did Kim rewrite the helper class? A．To satisfy his interest. B．To check and correct it. C．To test new coding skills. D．To fix its technical errors. 4．How did Kotlin impact Kim? A．It broadened his career vision. B．It improved his logical thinking. C．It transformed his coding style. D．It helped express his true character. 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．A 4．C 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述Kim起初认为Java仅能满足工作需求，接触Kotlin后被其简洁高效吸引，逐渐热爱用Kotlin编码，编码体验发生巨大改变。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段“Despite all its weaknesses, Java has served me well.(尽管Java有诸多缺点，但它对我来说还算好用。)”以及“I didn’t have to love Java, or whatever programming language, to finish my tasks well.(我不必喜欢Java或任何编程语言，只要能好好完成任务就行。)”可知，Kim最初认为Java只是可用、能完成工作即可。故选D项。 2．细节理解题。根据第二段“It was a pop-up adapter in just 86 lines, 17 of which were package and import statements, and I couldn’t get over how brief and readable it was.(这只是一个弹出式适配器，代码仅有86行，其中17行还是包声明和导入语句。我实在惊叹于它的简洁与易读。)”以及第三段“I’d read code over and over and couldn’t believe how much I was accomplishing in so few lines. (我一遍又一遍地阅读这些代码，简直不敢相信自己只用这么少的行数就完成了这么多工作。)”可知，最让Kim印象深刻的是Kotlin高效。故选B项。 3．推理判断题。根据第三段“Over the next few days, I wrote more and more Kotlin. I wrote my first extension. Then I rewrote an existing helper class and I wanted to write more. With just a few hours of effort, I cut 94 lines without breaking a sweat. I was amazed, excited, and having a ton of fun. I was also slightly amazed at this fresh experience brought on by a programming language.(接下来的几天里，我编写的Kotlin代码越来越多。我写出了第一个扩展函数，随后重写了一个现有的工具类，并且还想继续写下去。仅仅花了几个小时，我就轻松精简了94行代码。我感到惊喜、兴奋，也乐在其中。同时，我也不禁惊叹于一门编程语言竟能带来如此全新的体验。)”可知，Kim是出于对Kotlin的喜爱和兴趣才重写代码。故选A项。 4．推理判断题。根据第四段中“Whenever I’d have to work with Java, it was painful. I’d find myself rushing through it and making stupid mistakes because I had more important Kotlin files to attend to. But when I opened the Kotlin files, I felt at home, relaxed. The code was beautiful and expressive. It was brief but powerful. I kept finding new ways to write more clearly, more directly. And I was happy.(以前每次用Java时，我都觉得很痛苦。我总是匆匆忙忙应付，还犯一些低级错误，因为心里惦记着更重要的Kotlin代码要写。可一打开 Kotlin文件，我就感觉自在又放松。代码优美又富有表现力，简洁却又强大。我不断摸索新方法，力求写得更清晰、更直白。而我也乐在其中。)”以及上文内容可知，Kotlin极大改变了Kim的编码感受与编码方式，即改变了他的编码风格。故选C项。 主题03 人与自我——生活与学习 Passage 1 （2026·广东广州市天河·二模） There’s always one nonexistent friend in the group chat, loitering in the background, whose contribution to the chat remains minimal, if not extinct. That friend is me. As long as I can remember having a phone, I’ve been a terrible replier. The phrase “Sorry I missed this” became my go-to line. When a new group chat is created, the members will always come to laugh at my inability to respond to a simple question within hours. But I’m not terrible at replying to everyone. I pride myself on quick responses to work emails, my manager, and my mom — she even says, “I feel privileged to be on my daughter’s quick list.” To friends, I say, “Call me instead.” They know if it’s urgent, I’ll pick up right away. But if I mark a message as “non-urgent,” it’s a different story. Group chats are even harder: conversations move so fast that missing just five minutes means I’m behind on 67 messages about parties, movies or dates. Once, I set aside 15 minutes to respond to friends’ texts. But by the time I responded, they had messaged back. And I filed those new messages as non-urgent again. All of this was like message quicksand. Recently, I asked Billy about my bad texting. He’s that one friend you can always rely on to give you the non-sugarcoated truth: “You take 3-5 days to reply if we’re lucky.” Ouch — but probably not wrong. Then he added, “But you always show up, never cancel, and drive 40 minutes to see us.” Now I think about our group roles — the chatty one, the caller, the non-responder. All contribute and express love in different ways. As I write this article, I wonder if my terrible texting could be a sign of my old age? Or I’m just bad at replying to messages? There’s a lot to think about — and I can promise you this thinking will take my attention away from the 219 messages I haven’t answered yet. 1．What can be inferred about the author as a responder from paragraphs 2 and 3? A．She feels stressed to reply. B．She puts the vital first. C．She prefers calling to texting. D．She fails to reply to friends. 2．What does the underlined word “quicksand” in paragraph 4 refer to? A．A list often ignored. B．An endless cycle. C．A game of rapid replies. D．A tool for classification. 3．Why does the author mention Billy in paragraph 5? A．To praise her friends are tolerant. B．To stress she’s made erforts in texting. C．To prove her texting habit causes problems. D．To show her texting doesn’t hurt her friendship. 4．What is the author’s tone? A．Humorous. B．Formal. C．Doubtful. D．Concerned. 【答案】1．B 2．B 3．D 4．A 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述作者回复消息很慢，但只优先回复重要的人，虽不擅长文字聊天却用行动维系友谊。 1．推理判断题。根据第二段中的“As long as I can remember having a phone, I’ve been a terrible replier.(从我记得有手机开始，我就一直是个糟糕的回复者。)”和第三段中的“I pride myself on quick responses to work emails, my manager, and my mom — she even says, “I feel privileged to be on my daughter’s quick list.” To friends, I say, “Call me instead.” They know if it’s urgent, I’ll pick up right away. But if I mark a message as “non-urgent,” it’s a different story. (我为自己能快速回复工作邮件、经理和妈妈的消息而感到自豪——她甚至说：“能在我女儿的快速回复名单里，我觉得很荣幸。”我对朋友们说：“有事打电话给我吧。”他们知道，如果事情紧急，我会立刻接听。但如果我把一条消息标记为“不紧急”，那就是另一回事了。)”可知，作者会把重要的、紧急的事情优先处理。故选B项。 2．词句猜测题。根据第四段中的“Once, I set aside 15 minutes to respond to friends’texts. But by the time I responded, they had messaged back. And I filed those new messages as non-urgent again. All of this was like message quicksand.(有一次，我留出15分钟回复朋友的短信。但等我回复时，他们又发来了消息。而我又把这些新消息归为不紧急。这一切就像消息quicksand。)”可知，这是一种回复不完、不断循环的状态，因此quicksand指的是“一种无休止的循环”。故选B项。 3．推理判断题。根据第五段中的“Then he added, “But you always show up, never cancel, and drive 40 minutes to see us.”(然后他补充道：“但你总会出现，从不爽约，还会开40分钟的车来看我们。”)”可知，作者提到Billy是为了表明自己不擅长发消息的习惯并没有伤害到友谊。故选D项。 4．推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是最后一段中的“As I write this article, I wonder if my terrible texting could be a sign of my old age? Or I’m just bad at replying to messages? There’s a lot to think about — and I can promise you this thinking will take my attention away from the 219 messages I haven’t answered yet.(当我写这篇文章时，我在想我糟糕的短信回复能力是不是我年纪大了的标志？还是我就是不擅长回消息？有很多事情要思考——而且我可以向你保证，这种思考会让我的注意力从还没回复的219条消息上移开。)”可知，作者用轻松自嘲的方式讲述自己的情况，语气幽默。故选A项。 Passage 2 （2025·广东汕头市·二模） There are decisions we take on instinct, without even realising we are taking them. Two years ago, I left Germany to do volunteering work. I had a couple of disappointing experiences and a boring job in front of me. It was time to go. I found an interesting contact in a small village in Portugal. In exchange for room and board, I would be working with animals in a residence that hosted families with disabled people. And there I went, with just a backpack I was ready to jump into a new adventure. There, I cared for the pets living next to the residents, cleaning their yard, preparing food and caring for them. Within a month I was in charge of all the other volunteers and the organization of the daily work. After 5 months, I left again and moved to Catalonia, in Spain, to live with an Irish family. They offered a roof and food on the passage of their house for abandoned animals I helped care for. During both experiences, I had the chance to discover beautiful little towns and lovely villages. In Portugal, I walked on the coastline and explored those little towns on the top of the dry hills. In Spain I visited Barcelona multiple times, discovering little by little all its corners. Sometimes, my volunteering experience was complicated. I didn’t speak any Portuguese and only a bit of Spanish. But life out there was simple. It was so different from what I used to call “home” before! Going back to previous habits took me time. If you’re wondering if an international volunteering year gap is worth it, despite the uncertain future and the social pressure, I say: go for it. Believe me, in various ways, you will be sure to return transformed, perhaps even improved to a superior version of your former self. With a bit of luck, you may also discover a new career path. 1．Why did the author choose to leave Germany to do volunteering work? A．To make a change. B．To gain living skills. C．To broaden his horizon. D．To add working experience. 2．What did the author mainly do during his trip? A．Running an organization. B．Attending to animals. C．Taking care of the disabled. D．Preparing food for volunteers. 3．Which of the following can best describe the author’s trip? A．Simple. B．Romantic. C．Adventurous. D．Rewarding. 4．Which of the following can be the best title? A．Instinct, a key step for new career B．Backpacking, a jump to a new adventure C．Gap year, an escape from the reality D．Volunteering, a journey of self-discovery 【答案】1．A 2．B 3．D 4．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了作者离开德国去葡萄牙和西班牙做志愿者的经历。作者在不同的地方照顾动物、探索当地的城镇和村庄，虽然遇到了语言障碍等问题，但这段经历让作者体验到了简单的生活，也使作者发生了改变，作者认为国际志愿者间隔年是值得的，它是一段自我发现的旅程。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段“Two years ago, I left Germany to do volunteering work. I had a couple of disappointing experiences and a boring job in front of me. It was time to go.(两年前，我离开德国去做志愿者工作。我有几次令人失望的经历，还有一份无聊的工作摆在我面前。是时候离开了)”可知，作者选择离开德国去做志愿者工作是为了做出改变。故选A。 2．细节理解题。根据第二段“In exchange for room and board, I would be working with animals in a residence that hosted families with disabled people.(作为食宿的交换，我将在一个为残疾人家属提供住宿的住所里照顾动物)”以及第三段 “They offered a roof and food on the passage of their house for abandoned animals I helped care for.(他们在自家房子的过道上为我帮忙照顾的弃养动物提供了住所和食物)”可知，作者在旅行期间主要做的是照顾动物。故选B。 3．推理判断题。根据第四段“During both experiences, I had the chance to discover beautiful little towns and lovely villages.(在这两段经历中，我有机会发现了美丽的小镇和可爱的村庄)”以及最后一段 “Believe me, in various ways, you will be sure to return transformed, perhaps even improved to a superior version of your former self. With a bit of luck, you may also discover a new career path.(相信我，从各种方面来说，你回来时一定会有所改变，甚至可能会变成比以前更好的自己。运气好的话，你也许还能发现一条新的职业道路)”可知，作者的这次旅行是有回报的。故选D。 4．主旨大意题。文章主要讲述了作者离开德国去葡萄牙和西班牙做志愿者的经历。作者在不同的地方照顾动物、探索当地的城镇和村庄，虽然遇到了语言障碍等问题，但这段经历让作者体验到了简单的生活，也使作者发生了改变，作者认为国际志愿者间隔年是值得的，它是一段自我发现的旅程。结合最后一段“If you’re wondering if an international volunteering year gap is worth it, despite the uncertain future and the social pressure, I say: go for it. Believe me, in various ways, you will be sure to return transformed, perhaps even improved to a superior version of your former self. With a bit of luck, you may also discover a new career path.(如果你想知道在未来不确定和社会压力的情况下，国际志愿者的空档年是否值得，我说：去做吧。相信我，在很多方面，你肯定会改变，甚至可能会变成比以前更好的自己。运气好的话，你可能还会发现一条新的职业道路)”可知，D项“志愿服务，一段自我发现的旅程”最适合作为文章标题。故选D。 主题01 人与社会——历史社会与文化 Passage 1 （2025·广东省·二模） Shane Gross is from Saskatchewan, Canada, a province far away from the sea, so his first underwater experiences were in a cold, green lake with a disposable film camera. Despite this, he’s always been fascinated by the ocean, especially sharks, and watched Jaws countless times. After backpacking through Australia in 2009 and diving along the way, he decided to pursue his passion seriously. In 2011, he moved to the Bahamas to work as a dive instructor, which allowed him to spend more time in the water and improve his photography skills. In 2017, while diving at one of their regular spots, “Sea Garden”, Gross and his girlfriend encountered a turtle (海龟). They were deeply upset at the terrible scene—the turtle was trapped, struggling, and ultimately dying. Realizing there was nothing they could do to save it, Gross removed the abandoned fishing line wrapped around the turtle and documented the moment. His photograph later won first place in the conservation category of the 2019 International Ocean Art Underwater Photo Competition, bringing attention to the problem of sea waste that often goes unseen. When asked about his approach to creating remarkable underwater photography, Shane Gross advises underwater photographers to go beyond just one image. He encourages them to document the entire scene they’re passionate about, even if it means taking some shots above the water. Once you have a story to tell, create a shot list and keep shooting until you have recorded it fully. For Shane, spending time in the ocean is deeply fulfilling. “I live a marine (海洋的) lifestyle,” he says. “But most people don’t share this connection.” To bridge this gap, he created Bahamas Underwater, a book combining stories and vivid imagery to introduce people to marine ecosystems and their wonders. Shane recommends that taking time to admire the breathtaking views of the ocean should be the initial step toward creating meaningful change — a shift from indifference to active care. 1．What can we learn about Shane Gross from paragraph 1? A．He grew up in the coastal area. B．He longed to be a dive instructor. C．He followed his childhood passion. D．He did academic research on sharks. 2．Why did Shane take a photo of the sea turtle? A．To criticize overfishing. B．To protect natural habitats. C．To save the injured animal. D．To highlight marine pollution. 3．What is the key to good underwater photography according to paragraph 3? A．A large image. B．A unique scene. C．A complete story. D．A strong motivation. 4．What does Shane suggest as the first step toward caring for the ocean? A．Promoting green lifestyles. B．Appreciating ocean’s beauty. C．Sharing marine knowledge. D．Documenting nature’s wonders. 【答案】1．C 2．D 3．C 4．B 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了Shane Gross的海洋摄影历程。他从小对海洋充满热爱，长大后成为一名水下摄影师，致力于推动海洋保护事业的发展。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段“Despite this, he’s always been fascinated by the ocean, especially sharks, and watched Jaws countless times. After backpacking through Australia in 2009 and diving along the way, he decided to pursue his passion seriously.(尽管如此，他一直对海洋，尤其是鲨鱼着迷，看了无数次《大白鲨》。2009年，他在澳大利亚背包旅行，沿途潜水，之后他决定认真追求自己的激情。)”可知，他从小热爱海洋，长大后也在继续追寻这份热爱，故选C。 2．推理判断题。根据第二段“His photograph later won first place in the conservation category of the 2019 International Ocean Art Underwater Photo Competition, bringing attention to the problem of sea waste that often goes unseen.(他的照片后来在2019年国际海洋艺术水下摄影比赛中获得了保护类第一名，引起了人们对经常被忽视的海洋废物问题的关注。)”可知，Shane拍海龟的照片是为了突出海洋污染问题。故选D。 3．细节理解题。根据第三段“Once you have a story to tell, create a shot list and keep shooting until you have recorded it fully.(一旦你有一个故事要讲，创建一个镜头列表，并继续拍摄，直到你把它记录完整。)”可知，水下摄影成功的关键在于有一个完整的故事，故选C。 4．细节理解题。从最后一段“Shane recommends that taking the time to admire the breathtaking views of the ocean should be the initial step toward creating meaningful change — a shift from indifference to active care.(Shane建议，花时间欣赏海洋的壮丽景色应该是创造有意义的改变的第一步——从冷漠到积极关怀的转变。)”可知，Shane认为激发人们保护海洋意识的第一步是欣赏海洋之美，故选B。 Passage 2 （2025·广东高州市·二模） Serbian Zeljko Ilicic saved his first horse from death 12 years ago and found his calling. Ilicic is now 43. He set up the Balkan country’s only horse sanctuary (庇护所) in 2015. Ilicic has taken in old and abused horses. But he also takes those that had lived well but could no longer be looked after by caretakers. Animal care is an ongoing difficulty in Serbia. While officials run shelters for dogs, there are no state-supported places for horses. One of Ilicic’s favourite horses over the years, he said, was a local race winner that eventually died peacefully of old age. Another, now 28, was in a number of Serbian movies before retiring to the sanctuary. Some horses end up in a place where they are neither a pet nor a working machine" on farms, he said. So, they become difficult for people to keep. He remembers a time in 2020 when officials stopped a truck filled with over 20 illegally transported horses. The horses were on their way to be killed. They were all in bad condition but that the sanctuary found new homes for most of them. Three of the horses remained under their care. The sanctuary tries to find new homes for as many animals as possible to ensure there is always space for new ones. The sounds of different animal noises fill the small sanctuary when visitors arrive. Among the animals are seven cats that were found as babies in a closed plastic bag, and seven baby Yorkshire pigs that were rescued from a waste center. Now, they are fully grown animals that enjoy being with people. The sanctuary operates on donations. So far, Serbian officials have helped by repairing local roads. But there is still no system to register his sanctuary as an official horse sanctuary. He said, “We are the only ones in the Balkans at the moment and we hold the firm belief that, in time, we will be recognized by the state.” 1．What motivated Ilicic to set up the horse sanctuary? A．To compete in local horse races. B．To provide shelter for old and abused horses. C．To start a new career in animal care. D．To gain recognition from the state. 2．What happened to the horses that were rescued from a truck in 2020? A．They were all killed immediately. B．They were adopted by wealthy families. C．They were given new homes by the sanctuary. D．They were returned to their previous owners. 3．What is the main message conveyed by the article? A．The importance of animal rights in Serbia. B．The challenges faced by animal sanctuaries. C．The success of Ilicic’s horse racing career. D．The economic benefits of running a sanctuary. 4．Which of the following can best describe Ilicic? A．Humorous and energetic. B．Unrealistic and innocent. C．Firm-willed and caring. D．Reserved and hard-working. 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．A 4．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Ilicic建立马庇护所并照顾马匹的故事。 1．细节理解题。 根据第二段“Ilicic has taken in old and abused horses. But he also takes those that had lived well but could no longer be looked after by caretakers. Animal care is an ongoing difficulty in Serbia. While officials run shelters for dogs, there are no state-supported places for horses.(Ilicic收留了年老和受虐的马。但他也收留了那些生活得很好，但不能再由管理员照顾的马。在塞尔维亚，动物护理一直是个难题。虽然官员们为狗设立了收容所，但没有国家支持的地方来安置马)”可知，Ilicic建立马庇护所是为了给年老和受虐的马提供庇护所。故选B。 2．细节理解题。 根据第四段“He remembers a time in 2020 when officials stopped a truck filled with over 20 illegally transported horses. The horses were on their way to be killed. They were all in bad condition but that the sanctuary found new homes for most of them. Three of the horses remained under their care.(他记得2020年有一次，官员们拦下了一辆装载着20多匹非法运输的马的卡车。这些马正要被杀死。它们的情况都很糟糕，但庇护所为它们中的大多数找到了新家。其中三匹马仍在他们的照料之下)”可知，2020 年从卡车上获救的马匹中，大部分被庇护所安置了新家，部分留在此处照料。故选C。 3．主旨大意题。 文章围绕塞尔维亚唯一的马匹庇护所展开，讲述了创始人Ilicic拯救老马、受虐马及被遗弃马匹的经历，同时指出塞尔维亚缺乏官方支持的马匹庇护所，动物保护面临挑战。尽管庇护所依赖捐赠且未获官方认证，但 Ilicic 坚持通过实际行动推动动物保护。文章通过具体案例（如拯救非法运输马匹、为动物找新家等），强调了在塞尔维亚重视动物权利的必要性。故选A。 4．推理判断题。 根据第一段“Serbian Zeljko Ilicic saved his first horse from death 12 years ago and found his calling. Ilicic is now 43. He set up the Balkan country’s only horse sanctuary (庇护所) in 2015.(12年前，塞尔维亚人Zeljko Ilicic从死亡线上救下了他的第一匹马，并找到了自己的使命。Ilicic现年43岁。2015年，他建立了巴尔干国家唯一的马庇护所)”以及最后一段“We are the only ones in the Balkans at the moment and we hold the firm belief that, in time, we will be recognized by the state.(目前，我们是巴尔干地区唯一的一个，我们坚信，随着时间的推移，我们会得到国家的认可)”可知，Ilicic十二年如一日救助马匹，即便面临资金短缺和官方认证缺失仍坚持运营庇护所，体现Ilicic意志坚定，并富有爱心。故选C。 主题02 人与社会——科学与技术 Passage 1 （2025·广东普宁市·二模） I have been in a downturn in the past few weeks, largely due to my ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) drugs running out. This has made it hard for me to improve motivation for tasks, including the gym. But I had an epiphany last week once I finally worked out: Cutting down on exercise was making matters worse. Physical activity may, in fact, be the best way for me to fight against my ADHD symptoms while I wait for a new prescription (处方)。 My mind is always a bit quieter after a workout than it was before, in a similar way to when I take my medications. This makes sense. Most ADHD drugs work by raising levels of a brain chemical called noradrenaline (去甲肾上腺素). This essentially activates our body for action by improving focus, memory and impulse control. Levels of it also increase threefold during exercise. That isn’t to say I am ready to give up my medications. Results are mixed in the studies available on exercise and ADHD．A 2023 review of 106 studies indicated that exercise significantly improves impulse control, attention and the ability to switch between tasks in young children and adolescents with ADHD．However, it had a weak effect on regulating emotions and working memory. The benefits seem to be even less pronounced for adults. In another study last year,10 minutes of exercise was shown to improve impulse control in 82 adults with the condition, yet had no effect on other ADHD symptoms. While these findings suggest exercise has only a modest effect on ADHD, they do emphasize how working out has other benefits in addition to physical ones. Physical activity appears to be protective. A 2018 study of over 1.2 million adults found that those who exercised experienced 43 percent fewer days of poor mental health, on average, than those who didn’t. The link was strongest for team sports, cycling, and aerobic (有氧的) and gym activities. Exercising for 45 minutes three to five times a week also seemed to be the sweet spot. More wasn’t always better. As for me, I am relieved to have discovered a strategy for keeping my ADHD symptoms partly at bay without medications. Even though breaking a sweat is the last thing I want to do when I am overwhelmed or in a downturn, I now realize how critical it is to prioritize it. 1．What does the phrase “an epiphany” in Paragraph 1 mean? A．A new medicine. B．A sudden realization. C．A refreshing break. D．An unexpected pleasure. 2．How does physical activity potentially help with ADHD symptoms? A．It has no effect on ADHD symptoms in adults. B．It improves physical health rather than mental health. C．It lifts levels of a brain chemical similar to medications. D．It completely replaces the need for ADHD medications. 3．In the 2023 review, what is the effect of exercise on adults with ADHD? A．It is less noticeable for adults. B．It is ineffective against attention. C．It improves impulse control in adults. D．It has a strong impact on all symptoms. 4．What is inferred from the author’s personal exercise experience? A．Exercise eliminates the necessity for medication. B．Exercise barely helps relieve his mental disorder. C．Exercise is crucial to managing ADHD symptoms. D．Exercise is only beneficial when done in moderation. 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．A 4．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。作者因ADHD药物用尽而陷入低谷，发现减少锻炼反而加剧症状。锻炼可能有助于缓解ADHD症状，尽管效果因人而异。锻炼对心理健康有促进作用，最佳频率为每周3至5次，每次45分钟。作者找到了除药物以外的控制ADHD症状的方法，认识到锻炼的重要性。 1．词句猜测题。根据划线句But I had an epiphany last week once I finally worked out: Cutting down on exercise was making matters worse. (但上周，当我终于健身后，我epiphany了：减少锻炼只会让事情变得更糟)”可知，者在锻炼后“突然意识”到减少锻炼使情况变得更糟。所以an epiphany为“顿悟”之意。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据第二段中“Most ADHD drugs work by raising levels of a brain chemical called noradrenaline (去甲肾上腺素). This essentially activates our body for action by improving focus, memory and impulse control. Levels of it also increase threefold during exercise. (大多数ADHD药物通过提高一种叫做去甲肾上腺素的大脑化学物质的水平来起作用。这从根本上激活了我们的身体，通过提高注意力、记忆力和冲动控制来采取行动。在运动过程中，它的含量也会增加三倍)”可知，运动期间脑内类似于ADHD药物作用的化学物质水平增加，这使得运动在一定程度上有益于ADHD症状。故选C。 3．细节理解题。根据第三段中“However, it had a weak effect on regulating emotions and working memory. The benefits seem to be even less pronounced for adults.(然而，它对调节情绪和工作记忆的作用很弱。对成年人来说，这种好处似乎更不明显)”可知，运动对成人ADHD患者的效果较弱。故选A。 4．推理判断题。根据文中最后一段中“Even though breaking a sweat is the last thing I want to do when I am overwhelmed or in a downturn, I now realize how critical it is to prioritize it. (尽管在我不堪重负或情绪低落的时候，我最不愿意做的事情就是流汗，但我现在意识到，把事情按优先顺序排好是多么重要)”可知，作者认识到运动对于管理ADHD症状的重要性。故选C。 Passage 2 （2026·广东揭阳市·二模） When 16-year-old Boyan Slat went diving in Greece, he expected to see colorful fish and coral. Instead, he was shocked to find himself swimming through a sea of plastic bags and bottles. This disturbing experience opened his eyes to the reality of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, a massive accumulation of trash floating in the Pacific Ocean. At the time, most experts believed cleaning up this mess was impossible. They argued that because the plastic is spread over such a vast area, using ships with nets would take thousands of years and cost billions of dollars, which seemed like a waste of resources. However, Slat refused to accept this defeatist attitude. While waiting for a flight, he suddenly realized a key principle: why chase the trash when the ocean currents can bring it to you? He proposed a passive system using giant floating barriers that act like artificial coastlines. These barriers move with the waves, allowing the faster-moving plastic to be caught and concentrated in one area, while the marine life can safely swim underneath. Slat was so committed to this vision that he dropped out of college to focus entirely on his project. He founded “The Ocean Cleanup”, a non-profit organization dedicated to ridding the world’s oceans of plastic. The journey was far from smooth; his team faced severe criticism and technical failures during the early stages. However, instead of giving up, they analyzed every mistake and improved their design. Today, their technology is finally operational and has successfully removed tons of waste. The collected plastic is recycled into durable products like sunglasses, and the profits are used to fund further cleanup missions. Slat’s story serves as an inspiring reminder that age is just a number when it comes to solving global problems, and that with enough determination, we can turn a hopeless situation into a sustainable solution. 1．What was the key challenge in cleaning up the Great Pacific Garbage Patch? A．The plastic was too heavy to be lifted by ships. B．Plastic waste’s wide spread made cleaning costly and unachievable. C．The ocean currents were too strong for ships to navigate. D．The plastic was mixed with marine life, making it difficult to separate. 2．How does Slat’s passive system work to collect plastic? A．By using ships with nets to chase and catch the plastic. B．By using ocean currents to concentrate trash. C．By treating plastic with chemicals to make it small. D．By using floating barriers to trap plastic with currents. 3．How did Slat respond to the doubts and technical setbacks in the text? A．He published papers to prove experts wrong. B．He sought government support to solve technical issues. C．He ignored the criticism and stuck to his original plan. D．He adjusted his approach through learning from failures. 4．What is the author’s attitude towards Boyan Slat’s achievement? A．Admiring and supportive. B．Objective and optimistic. C．Skeptical and cautious. D．Critical and disappointed. 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．D 4．A 【导语】本文主要讲的是少年Boyan Slat应对海洋塑料污染问题的经历与成就。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段“They argued that because the plastic is spread over such a vast area, using ships with nets would take thousands of years and cost billions of dollars, which seemed like a waste of resources.(他们认为，由于塑料覆盖的区域如此之大，使用带有网的船只进行清理需要数千年的时间，并且需要花费数十亿美元，这似乎是对资源的极大浪费。)”可知，清理太平洋垃圾带时面临的主要难题是塑料垃圾分布广泛，使得清理工作成本高昂且难以完成。 2．细节理解题。根据第三段“These barriers move with the waves, allowing the faster-moving plastic to be caught and concentrated in one area, while the marine life can safely swim underneath.(这些屏障随着海浪移动，使得速度较快的塑料能够被捕捉并集中在一个区域，而海洋生物则可以在其下方安全地游动。)”可知，Slat的被动收集系统通过使用浮动屏障利用洋流来捕获塑料。 3．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“However, instead of giving up, they analyzed every mistake and improved their design.(然而，他们并没有放弃，而是对每一个错误进行分析，并改进了他们的设计。)”可知，Slat应对文中提到的质疑和技术挫折的方法是从失败中吸取教训来调整策略。 4．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Slat’s story serves as an inspiring reminder that age is just a number when it comes to solving global problems, and that with enough determination, we can turn a hopeless situation into a sustainable solution.(斯拉特的故事令人深受鼓舞，它向我们表明，在解决全球性问题时，年龄并不是关键因素；而且只要我们有足够的决心，就能将绝望的局面转化为可持续的解决方案。)”可知，作者对Boyan Slat的成就的态度是赞赏和支持的，即Admiring and supportive。 主题03 人与自我——生活与学习 Passage 1 （2025·广东深圳市福田区红岭中学·二模） “Who says it’s Father’s Day?” my son says to me, with the questioning angry look of someone who’s been told they have extra tax to pay. “Well, the world does,” I tell him, suddenly self-conscious. “It’s a special day for daddies.” Something about this — I can’t think what — comes out sounding quite desperate and he looks at me as if I’ve just suggested he prove his love for me with a face tattoo (文身). It’s a look of suspicion, but also of tender concern for my mental state. This is his fifth Father’s Day, so I can’t help feeling slightly wounded that the concept hasn’t stuck with him. I also can’t help noting that he has never had any such issue with Mother’s Day, which has always seemed to him like common sense. The event’s nearness to his own birthday two weeks from now — is making things more difficult for him to tolerate. It would seem he finds it impolite that the run-up to his special day should be interrupted so close to the finish line by a day that celebrates me, the lesser of his two parents. In any case, if he’s planning to make or gift me something, this conversation has been a masterstroke of expectation management “So, will all daddies get a Father’s Day?” he asks. “Yes,” I reply, “and this isn’t new — it’s every year!” I attempt to regulate my voice/offence, but also make it very clear I haven’t made this idea up on the spot by myself. “You’ve been doing it since you were born. And it’s been around longer than that. I get things for Granddad every year, too.” At this he stirs himself up. He has never quite stopped being fascinated by the idea that his granddad is my dad, in the same way that I am his. I suppose it’s the same thrill I feel when I see pictures of massive cranes (起重机) being built by other, even bigger cranes. “What do you get him?” he asks. “Well,” I say, “things like CDs or socks — and always a card.” At this he seems inspired. “I’ll do a card!” he says, brightening. “You could buy me something, too. . .” I begin, but he is no longer listening, running to grab coloured paper and glittery pens. Not wishing to see this tribute to myself a whole week early, I smile and tell him I really shouldn’t be watching and get up to leave him to it. “Yes!” he says, just in time for me to see he’s actually writing “Dear Granddad” on the page. “Don’t tell him!” 1．How does the writer feel when explaining Father’s Day? A．Suspicious. B．Embarrassed. C．Proud. D．Ridiculous. 2．What can be inferred from the son’s response? A．The son feels hurt because the concept escapes him. B．The writer looks relieved due to his son’s tender heart. C．A face tattoo is the way to prove a son’s love for his father. D．The son identifies with Mother’s Day more than Father’s Day. 3．Why does the writer mentions Granddad? A．To justify the annual celebration of Father’s Day. B．To practice skills of expectation management. C．To narrow the gap between the three generations. D．To link Father’s Day to his son’s birthday. 4．Which of the following best summarizes the passage? A．To send a DIY card to grandpa is a good idea to celebrate Father’s Day. B．My son decides to celebrate Father’s Day for grandpa instead of me. C．My son seems not to be attentive to Father’s Day celebration for me. D．My son finally celebrates Father’s Day by making a card for me. 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．A 4．C 【导语】本文为一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者告诉儿子父亲节也是需要为父亲庆祝的，而儿子不以为然的故事。 1．细节理解题。根据文章第一段““Well, the world does,” I tell him, suddenly self-conscious. “It’s a special day for daddies.” (“好吧，世界知道。”我告诉他，突然有点难为情。“对爸爸们来说，这是一个特别的日子。”)”及第二段“Something about this — I can’t think what — comes out sounding quite desperate and he looks at me as if I’ve just suggested he prove his love for me with a face tattoo (文身).(关于这件事—我想不出是什么—听起来很绝望，他看着我，好像我刚刚建议他用脸上的纹身来证明他对我的爱。)”可知，当和儿子解释父亲节时，作者有一些尴尬和难为情。故选B。 2．推理判断题。根据文章第三段“This is his fifth Father’s Day, so I can’t help feeling slightly wounded that the concept hasn’t stuck with him. I also can’t help noting that he has never had any such issue with Mother’s Day, which has always seemed to him like common sense.(这是他的第五个父亲节了，所以我忍不住感到有点受伤，因为他没有坚持这个概念。我也不得不指出，他对母亲节从来没有任何这样的问题，这对他来说一直是常识。)”可推知，儿子对父亲节没有概念，但是却记得母亲节，因此，儿子更认同母亲节而不是父亲节。故选D。 3．推理判断题。根据文章第五段““So, will all daddies get a Father’s Day?” he asks. “Yes,” I reply, “and this isn’t new — it’s every year!” I attempt to regulate my voice/offence, but also make it very clear I haven’t made this idea up on the spot by myself. “You’ve been doing it since you were born. And it’s been around longer than that. I get things for Granddad every year, too.”(“那么，所有的爸爸都会有父亲节吗?”他问道。“是的，”我回答，“而且这不是新的—每年都是!”我试图调整我的声音/冒犯，但也非常清楚地表明，这不是我自己当场编造的想法。“你一出生就在做这件事。它存在的时间比那还长。我每年也给爷爷买东西。”)”可知，作者提及自己给爷爷买东西，是为了说明父亲节自己也要给父亲庆祝，是为了给一年一度的父亲节庆祝活动正名。故选A。 4．主旨大意题。根据文章倒数第二段““You could buy me something, too. . .” I begin, but he is no longer listening, running to grab coloured paper and glittery pens. Not wishing to see this tribute to myself a whole week early, I smile and tell him I really shouldn’t be watching and get up to leave him to it.(“你也可以给我买点东西……”我开始说，但他不再听了，跑去抓彩纸和闪闪发光的笔。我不想提前一周看到他对我的致敬，我笑着告诉他我真的不应该看，然后站起来让他自己发挥。)”及最后一段““Yes!” he says, just in time for me to see he’s actually writing “Dear Granddad” on the page. “Don’t tell him!”(“是的，”他说，正好让我看到他真的在纸上写了“亲爱的爷爷”。“别告诉他!”)”可知，全文讲述了作者告诉儿子父亲节也是一年一度的节日，需要给父亲庆祝，但儿子最后却给爷爷做了一张卡片，因此，C选项“我儿子似乎对为我庆祝父亲节这件事不太上心。”可以最好的概括全文。故选C。 Passage 2 （2026·广东深圳市·二模） At dinnertime, if I’m anywhere near my favourite restaurant, there’s not a chance you can talk me into going somewhere else — I want to eat at China Fun. Actually, I have been eating at this restaurant for 17 years. Don’t get me wrong, trying new things is great, and I love exploring. But the pressure to always keep trying new things ignores the satisfaction of finding our loves and keeping on loving them. That’s why I dislike pop-up restaurants. I’d much rather invest my time and money in a place that will still be here next month, working my way through the menu to find my favourite dishes, and figuring out which is the best table. In a chaotic world, being a regular makes me feel that there are always places where things stay the same. In my mental map of the city, I mark all my favourites — cute bookshops, hidden gardens, and the hotdog stand that’s open only at weekends. To be a regular is to let a place become a character in your life. The act of returning builds connection, and a sense of being at home as you settle in and share a nod with the waiter before he asks if you’ll be having the usual. Some things just get better the more you do them. While relaxing weekends offer the promise of finding country paths for a wander, I would prefer revisiting a beloved walking route as the seasons turn, noticing the subtle (微妙的) changes in the same place. I’ve walked along the Thames a hundred times, but the banks look different each time as the tides move to reveal or conceal (隐藏). It feels like spending time with a friend. The river is alive, and each time we meet, we grow closer. I discovered a little local café recently. After several visits, Kirsty, the resident café cat, has finally started acknowledging my presence. The other repeat customers have also started nodding at me. They were here first and this is their café. Now they seem to be saying, “Have a seat, stay a while, and come back soon.” 1．What does the author’s restaurant preference show? A．He is a creature of habit. B．He is strictly self-disciplined. C．He loves exploring new things. D．He favours Asian cuisine most. 2．What does the underlined word “character” in paragraph 3 refer to? A．Reward. B．Souvenir. C．Symbol. D．Companion. 3．How does the author find the walking route along the Thames? A．Crowded but comforting. B．Familiar but refreshing. C．Winding but approachable. D．Exhausting but adventurous. 4．What message does this text mainly convey? A．Satisfaction exists in the present. B．Shared experiences build bonds. C．Possibilities hide in the unknown. D．Repeat visits deepen appreciation. 【答案】1．A 2．D 3．B 4．D 【导语】本文主要介绍了作者对常去熟悉地方的喜爱，强调重复到访能加深对事物的欣赏。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段“Actually, I have been eating at this restaurant for 17 years.(事实上，我在这家餐厅吃了17年了)”以及第二段“In a chaotic world, being a regular makes me feel that there are always places where things stay the same. (在这个混乱的世界里，经常去一个地方让我觉得总有一些地方是一成不变的)”可知，作者喜欢去常去的餐厅，这表明他是一个习惯于常规的人。 2．词句猜测题。根据第三段“To be a regular is to let a place become a character in your life. The act of returning builds connection, and a sense of being at home as you settle in and share a nod with the waiter before he asks if you’ll be having the usual. (经常去一个地方就是让这个地方成为你生活中的character。回来的行为建立了联系，让你有一种宾至如归的感觉，在你安顿下来，和服务员点头示意之后，他才会问你是否还像往常一样)”可知，作者认为经常去一个地方会让这个地方成为生活中的一个陪伴者，character在此处指“陪伴者，同伴”，与companion意义相近。 3．推理判断题。根据第四段“While relaxing weekends offer the promise of finding country paths for a wander, I would prefer revisiting a beloved walking route as the seasons turn, noticing the subtle (微妙的) changes in the same place. I’ve walked along the Thames a hundred times, but the banks look different each time as the tides move to reveal or conceal (隐藏). (虽然放松的周末提供了找到乡间小路漫步的希望，但随着季节的变化，我更愿意重新审视一条心爱的步行路线，注意到同一个地方微妙的变化。我沿着泰晤士河走了一百次，但每次潮汐移动时，河岸看起来都不一样)”可知，作者认为泰晤士河沿岸的步行路线既熟悉又每次都有新发现，即熟悉但令人耳目一新。 4．推理判断题。根据全文内容，尤其是最后一段“After several visits, Kirsty, the resident café cat, has finally started acknowledging my presence. The other repeat customers have also started nodding at me. They were here first and this is their café. Now they seem to be saying, “Have a seat, stay a while, and come back soon.”(经过几次拜访，咖啡馆的常客猫咪Kirsty终于开始注意到我的存在了。其他常客也开始向我点头。他们先来的，这是他们的咖啡馆。现在他们似乎在说:“请坐，待一会儿，很快就回来。”)”以及文章内容可知，本文围绕反复回访喜爱的餐馆、步道、小店展开，主要传达的信息是重复到访能加深对事物的欣赏。 / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 专题02 阅读理解（记叙文） 主题01 人与社会——历史社会与文化 Passage 1 （2026·广东惠州市·二模） Finland has topped the World Happiness Report for the past eight years. Besides its welfare system, Finland’s high ranking is also due to its people’s close connection with nature and daily sauna (桑拿). Last June, the country’s tourism agency hosted a master class, offering winners chosen from a social media challenge a free trip to Finland to learn from local masters. I didn’t participate in the challenge, but I was inspired by the idea. So I decided to travel to Finland myself to explore what lies behind this sustained happiness. In my journey to understand Finnish happiness, I sought out some advice from the local masters. A restaurant owner taught me how traditional foods can reconnect us with nature;a vibrant elderly woman demonstrated the power of focus through diving; a ceramic artist encouraged me to do things by hand — like reading, picking berries, or knitting; and almost everyone emphasized the sauna, which I tried myself there. Back in New York, I attempted to bring these into my own life: I found a backyard sauna in Brooklyn, shopped at farmer’ markets, and tried growing herbs. However, my kitchen received little sunlight, so I carried my small garden up to the roof each morning, sometimes forgetting to bring it back down at night. Summer storms soaked (浸泡) the soil, and eventually, the herbs died and even the pots were thrown away by someone. Then in late July, I went through a rough patch in my relationship. I ate very little or cried at random. Soon, even the sauna no longer lifted my spirits. I was sitting at the beach one afternoon, wondering why nature was not making me feel better, when the answer hit me: I was trying too hard to live exactly like the Finns. I’d missed the point of what all the masters were saying: Quiet the mind, and find pleasure in small acts and observations. “Simple things,” Ms. Pajunen, one of the masters, had said. “This is at the core of what Finns have to offer the rest of the world.” 1．Why did the author decide to visit Finland? A．To join a social media challenge trip. B．To find the secret of lasting happiness. C．To study the welfare system of Finland. D．To experience natural scenery and sauna. 2．What did the author learn from the masters in Finland? A．The history of sauna culture. B．The professional skills of diving. C．The value of traditional industries. D．The practical habits for a joyful life. 3．How did the author’s attempt at Finnish living end up? A．It failed to achieve its original purpose. B．It significantly improved her well-being. C．It succeeded after some initial struggles. D．It gained support from her neighborhood. 4．What can we learn from the author’s experience? A．Nature is the source of Finnish romance. B．Finnish happiness is from various activities. C．Adopting Finnish lifestyle leads to frustration. D．Finnish happiness lies in appreciating ordinary things. Passage 2 （2026·广东佛山市·二模） In 1975, five-year-old Jeff, in a wheelchair, asked his parents if he could meet Fred Rogers of the Neighborhood rather than going to Disneyland. It was the family’s own version of “Make-A-Wish,” proposed on the eve of Jeff’s major spinal (脊椎的) surgery. Jeff said Mr. Rogers told him that he was special and that he was just fine the way he was, and it gave him confidence and made him feel good. Jeff’s parents wrote a letter to the television star about the boy’s desire to meet him, and they got a handwritten answer that led to a breakfast meeting at a hotel. Later they continued to correspond; Rogers wrote to say how glad he was that Jeff’s surgery had gone well. Then in 1980, Rogers decided he wanted to have a child in a wheelchair on his show for a theme week on all things mechanical. He remembered Jeff and insisted it had to be Jeff. On the Neighborhood, Rogers asked Jeff straightforwardly about the mechanics of his wheelchair, and how he wound up in it. Producer Margy Whitmer recalled Jeff’s appearance on the show: “It was one of the most impressive moments... Here’s this child who has multiple disabilities, and Fred said, ‘Talk to me about that wheelchair. Talk to me about what’s wrong with you.’ And this extraordinary kid talked about his medical condition (resulting from spinal tumor) in a matter-of-fact way. Fred presented it to kids watching the show, as ‘this is just the way he is.’” This was the philosophy of Fred Rogers’s complete acceptance: There was no topic he wouldn’t address on air, no matter how difficult. “We don’t fudge things,” he said once when asked about the sources of the show’s popularity. “People long to be in touch with honesty.” Jeff and Rogers didn’t meet again until 1999, when Rogers was being honored with a place in the Television Hall of Fame. When Jeff rolled onstage to surprise him, Rogers ran up to the stage and hugged him as if they were the only two people in the auditorium. “On behalf of millions of children and grown-ups,” said Jeff, “It’s you I like.” There wasn’t a dry eye in the well-dressed house. 1．What inspired Jeff to meet Fred Rogers? A．His eagerness to seek praise. B．His need for Rogers’s advice. C．His worries about his surgery. D．His fondness for Rogers’s show. 2．What do Rogers’s words to Jeff on the show illustrate? A．His desire to impress the audience. B．His effort to make people feel special. C．His openness in discussing children’s disability. D．His concern about the child’s medical condition. 3．What does the underlined word “fudge” in paragraph 4 mean? A．Avoid. B．Challenge. C．Mess up. D．Comment on. 4．What can be a suitable title for the text? A．An Excellent Neighbor B．The Power of Acceptance C．The Value of Friendship D．A Special Wheelchair Boy 主题02 人与社会——科学与技术 Passage 1 （2026·广东江门市·二模） At 27, as a new mother, I had been wrestling with stress and worry, which led me to explore acupuncture. A friend’s firm recommendation inspired me to book my first session. I chose Ora, a clinic I had visited during its grand opening in 2020, drawn to its environment and knowledgeable staff. Though the cost — $130 for an initial 65-minute session — was high, I viewed it as an investment in my well-being. Before the appointment, I researched how to prepare: eating a meal to stabilize blood sugar and avoiding medicine to ensure relaxation. Upon arriving at Ora, I was struck by the calming atmosphere. After a brief consultation with my acupuncturist, Sian James, who evaluated my lifestyle and health concerns, I changed into a towel and lay down. James checked my tongue, noting its red tip as a sign of stress, and explained how it guided her needle placement. She inserted 10-13 thin needles into my forehead, wrists, chest, knees, and feet. The slight pain was tolerable, and she explained that the selected points were targeted to stimulate my nervous system and release biochemicals to address stress. Once the needles were in place, I rested for 20-25 minutes in a dimly lit room with calming music. Initially tense, I eventually relaxed, drifting into a quiet state — deeply calm yet aware of my surroundings. When James removed the needles, I felt a profound sense of quiet that lasted the entire day. She advised avoiding tiring activities to maintain the effects. While the calmness faded by Monday morning, the experience was impactful. Acupuncture forced me to pause, breathe, and disconnect from life’s pressures. Though not a cure-all, acupuncture is a valuable tool for managing stress. As a person who struggled to unwind, I found it incredibly effective, and now, I plan to incorporate it into my routine. It’s a reminder to prioritize self-care. Otherwise, I couldn’t handle my busy work and daily life. 1．Why did the author decide to explore acupuncture? A．Because of a sports injury. B．Because of financial investment. C．Because of emotional anxiety. D．Because of a firm’s recommendation. 2．What can be inferred about the acupuncturist’s treatment approach? A．It relied on surroundings over needles. B．It used finger pressure instead of needles. C．It combined examination with assessment. D．It prioritized observation over communication. 3．How did the author feel after having acupuncture? A．Tired. B．Pressured. C．Cautious. D．Peaceful. 4．What does the author learn from her experience? A．Rome wasn’t built in a day. B．You can’t pour from an empty cup. C．Busy hands make a happy heart. D．A calm sea does not make a skilled sailor. Passage 2 （2026·广东湛江市·二模） I’m Kim. Despite all its weaknesses, Java has served me well. But I’ve never had strong feelings about Java itself. I liked some things about it, and I hated others. For many years my perspective was simple: I didn’t have to love Java, or whatever programming language, to finish my tasks well. That all changed a few months ago when I wrote my first Kotlin class. It was a pop-up adapter in just 86 lines, 17 of which were package and import statements, and I couldn’t get over how brief and readable it was. I could barely comprehend how little I wrote to get something to work. It took me a few passes, but all of a sudden, I sensed the difference. This wasn’t just about language features or what the FAQ (frequently asked questions) said the language was capable of. This was about how I felt. It was genuinely fun. I’d read code over and over and couldn’t believe how much I was accomplishing in so few lines. I couldn’t believe the clarity of the writing. Over the next few days, I wrote more and more Kotlin. I wrote my first extension. Then I rewrote an existing helper class and I wanted to write more. With just a few hours of effort, I cut 94 lines without breaking a sweat. I was amazed, excited, and having a ton of fun. I was also slightly amazed at this fresh experience brought on by a programming language. Over the next couple of weeks, that pleasant feeling just grew and grew. Whenever I’d have to work with Java, it was painful. I’d find myself rushing through it and making stupid mistakes because I had more important Kotlin files to attend to. But when I opened the Kotlin files, I felt at home, relaxed. The code was beautiful and expressive. It was brief but powerful. I kept finding new ways to write more clearly, more directly. And I was happy. 1．What did Kim initially think of Java? A．It was rather boring. B．It was very complex. C．It was a bit unstable. D．It was just workable. 2．What struck Kim most about Kotlin? A．Its loose structure. B．Its high efficiency. C．Its official introduction. D．Its numerous functions. 3．Why did Kim rewrite the helper class? A．To satisfy his interest. B．To check and correct it. C．To test new coding skills. D．To fix its technical errors. 4．How did Kotlin impact Kim? A．It broadened his career vision. B．It improved his logical thinking. C．It transformed his coding style. D．It helped express his true character. 主题03 人与自我——生活与学习 Passage 1 （2026·广东广州市天河·二模） There’s always one nonexistent friend in the group chat, loitering in the background, whose contribution to the chat remains minimal, if not extinct. That friend is me. As long as I can remember having a phone, I’ve been a terrible replier. The phrase “Sorry I missed this” became my go-to line. When a new group chat is created, the members will always come to laugh at my inability to respond to a simple question within hours. But I’m not terrible at replying to everyone. I pride myself on quick responses to work emails, my manager, and my mom — she even says, “I feel privileged to be on my daughter’s quick list.” To friends, I say, “Call me instead.” They know if it’s urgent, I’ll pick up right away. But if I mark a message as “non-urgent,” it’s a different story. Group chats are even harder: conversations move so fast that missing just five minutes means I’m behind on 67 messages about parties, movies or dates. Once, I set aside 15 minutes to respond to friends’ texts. But by the time I responded, they had messaged back. And I filed those new messages as non-urgent again. All of this was like message quicksand. Recently, I asked Billy about my bad texting. He’s that one friend you can always rely on to give you the non-sugarcoated truth: “You take 3-5 days to reply if we’re lucky.” Ouch — but probably not wrong. Then he added, “But you always show up, never cancel, and drive 40 minutes to see us.” Now I think about our group roles — the chatty one, the caller, the non-responder. All contribute and express love in different ways. As I write this article, I wonder if my terrible texting could be a sign of my old age? Or I’m just bad at replying to messages? There’s a lot to think about — and I can promise you this thinking will take my attention away from the 219 messages I haven’t answered yet. 1．What can be inferred about the author as a responder from paragraphs 2 and 3? A．She feels stressed to reply. B．She puts the vital first. C．She prefers calling to texting. D．She fails to reply to friends. 2．What does the underlined word “quicksand” in paragraph 4 refer to? A．A list often ignored. B．An endless cycle. C．A game of rapid replies. D．A tool for classification. 3．Why does the author mention Billy in paragraph 5? A．To praise her friends are tolerant. B．To stress she’s made erforts in texting. C．To prove her texting habit causes problems. D．To show her texting doesn’t hurt her friendship. 4．What is the author’s tone? A．Humorous. B．Formal. C．Doubtful. D．Concerned. Passage 2 （2025·广东汕头市·二模） There are decisions we take on instinct, without even realising we are taking them. Two years ago, I left Germany to do volunteering work. I had a couple of disappointing experiences and a boring job in front of me. It was time to go. I found an interesting contact in a small village in Portugal. In exchange for room and board, I would be working with animals in a residence that hosted families with disabled people. And there I went, with just a backpack I was ready to jump into a new adventure. There, I cared for the pets living next to the residents, cleaning their yard, preparing food and caring for them. Within a month I was in charge of all the other volunteers and the organization of the daily work. After 5 months, I left again and moved to Catalonia, in Spain, to live with an Irish family. They offered a roof and food on the passage of their house for abandoned animals I helped care for. During both experiences, I had the chance to discover beautiful little towns and lovely villages. In Portugal, I walked on the coastline and explored those little towns on the top of the dry hills. In Spain I visited Barcelona multiple times, discovering little by little all its corners. Sometimes, my volunteering experience was complicated. I didn’t speak any Portuguese and only a bit of Spanish. But life out there was simple. It was so different from what I used to call “home” before! Going back to previous habits took me time. If you’re wondering if an international volunteering year gap is worth it, despite the uncertain future and the social pressure, I say: go for it. Believe me, in various ways, you will be sure to return transformed, perhaps even improved to a superior version of your former self. With a bit of luck, you may also discover a new career path. 1．Why did the author choose to leave Germany to do volunteering work? A．To make a change. B．To gain living skills. C．To broaden his horizon. D．To add working experience. 2．What did the author mainly do during his trip? A．Running an organization. B．Attending to animals. C．Taking care of the disabled. D．Preparing food for volunteers. 3．Which of the following can best describe the author’s trip? A．Simple. B．Romantic. C．Adventurous. D．Rewarding. 4．Which of the following can be the best title? A．Instinct, a key step for new career B．Backpacking, a jump to a new adventure C．Gap year, an escape from the reality D．Volunteering, a journey of self-discovery 主题01 人与社会——历史社会与文化 Passage 1 （2025·广东省·二模） Shane Gross is from Saskatchewan, Canada, a province far away from the sea, so his first underwater experiences were in a cold, green lake with a disposable film camera. Despite this, he’s always been fascinated by the ocean, especially sharks, and watched Jaws countless times. After backpacking through Australia in 2009 and diving along the way, he decided to pursue his passion seriously. In 2011, he moved to the Bahamas to work as a dive instructor, which allowed him to spend more time in the water and improve his photography skills. In 2017, while diving at one of their regular spots, “Sea Garden”, Gross and his girlfriend encountered a turtle (海龟). They were deeply upset at the terrible scene—the turtle was trapped, struggling, and ultimately dying. Realizing there was nothing they could do to save it, Gross removed the abandoned fishing line wrapped around the turtle and documented the moment. His photograph later won first place in the conservation category of the 2019 International Ocean Art Underwater Photo Competition, bringing attention to the problem of sea waste that often goes unseen. When asked about his approach to creating remarkable underwater photography, Shane Gross advises underwater photographers to go beyond just one image. He encourages them to document the entire scene they’re passionate about, even if it means taking some shots above the water. Once you have a story to tell, create a shot list and keep shooting until you have recorded it fully. For Shane, spending time in the ocean is deeply fulfilling. “I live a marine (海洋的) lifestyle,” he says. “But most people don’t share this connection.” To bridge this gap, he created Bahamas Underwater, a book combining stories and vivid imagery to introduce people to marine ecosystems and their wonders. Shane recommends that taking time to admire the breathtaking views of the ocean should be the initial step toward creating meaningful change — a shift from indifference to active care. 1．What can we learn about Shane Gross from paragraph 1? A．He grew up in the coastal area. B．He longed to be a dive instructor. C．He followed his childhood passion. D．He did academic research on sharks. 2．Why did Shane take a photo of the sea turtle? A．To criticize overfishing. B．To protect natural habitats. C．To save the injured animal. D．To highlight marine pollution. 3．What is the key to good underwater photography according to paragraph 3? A．A large image. B．A unique scene. C．A complete story. D．A strong motivation. 4．What does Shane suggest as the first step toward caring for the ocean? A．Promoting green lifestyles. B．Appreciating ocean’s beauty. C．Sharing marine knowledge. D．Documenting nature’s wonders. Passage 2 （2025·广东高州市·二模） Serbian Zeljko Ilicic saved his first horse from death 12 years ago and found his calling. Ilicic is now 43. He set up the Balkan country’s only horse sanctuary (庇护所) in 2015. Ilicic has taken in old and abused horses. But he also takes those that had lived well but could no longer be looked after by caretakers. Animal care is an ongoing difficulty in Serbia. While officials run shelters for dogs, there are no state-supported places for horses. One of Ilicic’s favourite horses over the years, he said, was a local race winner that eventually died peacefully of old age. Another, now 28, was in a number of Serbian movies before retiring to the sanctuary. Some horses end up in a place where they are neither a pet nor a working machine" on farms, he said. So, they become difficult for people to keep. He remembers a time in 2020 when officials stopped a truck filled with over 20 illegally transported horses. The horses were on their way to be killed. They were all in bad condition but that the sanctuary found new homes for most of them. Three of the horses remained under their care. The sanctuary tries to find new homes for as many animals as possible to ensure there is always space for new ones. The sounds of different animal noises fill the small sanctuary when visitors arrive. Among the animals are seven cats that were found as babies in a closed plastic bag, and seven baby Yorkshire pigs that were rescued from a waste center. Now, they are fully grown animals that enjoy being with people. The sanctuary operates on donations. So far, Serbian officials have helped by repairing local roads. But there is still no system to register his sanctuary as an official horse sanctuary. He said, “We are the only ones in the Balkans at the moment and we hold the firm belief that, in time, we will be recognized by the state.” 1．What motivated Ilicic to set up the horse sanctuary? A．To compete in local horse races. B．To provide shelter for old and abused horses. C．To start a new career in animal care. D．To gain recognition from the state. 2．What happened to the horses that were rescued from a truck in 2020? A．They were all killed immediately. B．They were adopted by wealthy families. C．They were given new homes by the sanctuary. D．They were returned to their previous owners. 3．What is the main message conveyed by the article? A．The importance of animal rights in Serbia. B．The challenges faced by animal sanctuaries. C．The success of Ilicic’s horse racing career. D．The economic benefits of running a sanctuary. 4．Which of the following can best describe Ilicic? A．Humorous and energetic. B．Unrealistic and innocent. C．Firm-willed and caring. D．Reserved and hard-working. 主题02 人与社会——科学与技术 Passage 1 （2025·广东普宁市·二模） I have been in a downturn in the past few weeks, largely due to my ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) drugs running out. This has made it hard for me to improve motivation for tasks, including the gym. But I had an epiphany last week once I finally worked out: Cutting down on exercise was making matters worse. Physical activity may, in fact, be the best way for me to fight against my ADHD symptoms while I wait for a new prescription (处方)。 My mind is always a bit quieter after a workout than it was before, in a similar way to when I take my medications. This makes sense. Most ADHD drugs work by raising levels of a brain chemical called noradrenaline (去甲肾上腺素). This essentially activates our body for action by improving focus, memory and impulse control. Levels of it also increase threefold during exercise. That isn’t to say I am ready to give up my medications. Results are mixed in the studies available on exercise and ADHD．A 2023 review of 106 studies indicated that exercise significantly improves impulse control, attention and the ability to switch between tasks in young children and adolescents with ADHD．However, it had a weak effect on regulating emotions and working memory. The benefits seem to be even less pronounced for adults. In another study last year,10 minutes of exercise was shown to improve impulse control in 82 adults with the condition, yet had no effect on other ADHD symptoms. While these findings suggest exercise has only a modest effect on ADHD, they do emphasize how working out has other benefits in addition to physical ones. Physical activity appears to be protective. A 2018 study of over 1.2 million adults found that those who exercised experienced 43 percent fewer days of poor mental health, on average, than those who didn’t. The link was strongest for team sports, cycling, and aerobic (有氧的) and gym activities. Exercising for 45 minutes three to five times a week also seemed to be the sweet spot. More wasn’t always better. As for me, I am relieved to have discovered a strategy for keeping my ADHD symptoms partly at bay without medications. Even though breaking a sweat is the last thing I want to do when I am overwhelmed or in a downturn, I now realize how critical it is to prioritize it. 1．What does the phrase “an epiphany” in Paragraph 1 mean? A．A new medicine. B．A sudden realization. C．A refreshing break. D．An unexpected pleasure. 2．How does physical activity potentially help with ADHD symptoms? A．It has no effect on ADHD symptoms in adults. B．It improves physical health rather than mental health. C．It lifts levels of a brain chemical similar to medications. D．It completely replaces the need for ADHD medications. 3．In the 2023 review, what is the effect of exercise on adults with ADHD? A．It is less noticeable for adults. B．It is ineffective against attention. C．It improves impulse control in adults. D．It has a strong impact on all symptoms. 4．What is inferred from the author’s personal exercise experience? A．Exercise eliminates the necessity for medication. B．Exercise barely helps relieve his mental disorder. C．Exercise is crucial to managing ADHD symptoms. D．Exercise is only beneficial when done in moderation. Passage 2 （2026·广东揭阳市·二模） When 16-year-old Boyan Slat went diving in Greece, he expected to see colorful fish and coral. Instead, he was shocked to find himself swimming through a sea of plastic bags and bottles. This disturbing experience opened his eyes to the reality of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, a massive accumulation of trash floating in the Pacific Ocean. At the time, most experts believed cleaning up this mess was impossible. They argued that because the plastic is spread over such a vast area, using ships with nets would take thousands of years and cost billions of dollars, which seemed like a waste of resources. However, Slat refused to accept this defeatist attitude. While waiting for a flight, he suddenly realized a key principle: why chase the trash when the ocean currents can bring it to you? He proposed a passive system using giant floating barriers that act like artificial coastlines. These barriers move with the waves, allowing the faster-moving plastic to be caught and concentrated in one area, while the marine life can safely swim underneath. Slat was so committed to this vision that he dropped out of college to focus entirely on his project. He founded “The Ocean Cleanup”, a non-profit organization dedicated to ridding the world’s oceans of plastic. The journey was far from smooth; his team faced severe criticism and technical failures during the early stages. However, instead of giving up, they analyzed every mistake and improved their design. Today, their technology is finally operational and has successfully removed tons of waste. The collected plastic is recycled into durable products like sunglasses, and the profits are used to fund further cleanup missions. Slat’s story serves as an inspiring reminder that age is just a number when it comes to solving global problems, and that with enough determination, we can turn a hopeless situation into a sustainable solution. 1．What was the key challenge in cleaning up the Great Pacific Garbage Patch? A．The plastic was too heavy to be lifted by ships. B．Plastic waste’s wide spread made cleaning costly and unachievable. C．The ocean currents were too strong for ships to navigate. D．The plastic was mixed with marine life, making it difficult to separate. 2．How does Slat’s passive system work to collect plastic? A．By using ships with nets to chase and catch the plastic. B．By using ocean currents to concentrate trash. C．By treating plastic with chemicals to make it small. D．By using floating barriers to trap plastic with currents. 3．How did Slat respond to the doubts and technical setbacks in the text? A．He published papers to prove experts wrong. B．He sought government support to solve technical issues. C．He ignored the criticism and stuck to his original plan. D．He adjusted his approach through learning from failures. 4．What is the author’s attitude towards Boyan Slat’s achievement? A．Admiring and supportive. B．Objective and optimistic. C．Skeptical and cautious. D．Critical and disappointed. 主题03 人与自我——生活与学习 Passage 1 （2025·广东深圳市福田区红岭中学·二模） “Who says it’s Father’s Day?” my son says to me, with the questioning angry look of someone who’s been told they have extra tax to pay. “Well, the world does,” I tell him, suddenly self-conscious. “It’s a special day for daddies.” Something about this — I can’t think what — comes out sounding quite desperate and he looks at me as if I’ve just suggested he prove his love for me with a face tattoo (文身). It’s a look of suspicion, but also of tender concern for my mental state. This is his fifth Father’s Day, so I can’t help feeling slightly wounded that the concept hasn’t stuck with him. I also can’t help noting that he has never had any such issue with Mother’s Day, which has always seemed to him like common sense. The event’s nearness to his own birthday two weeks from now — is making things more difficult for him to tolerate. It would seem he finds it impolite that the run-up to his special day should be interrupted so close to the finish line by a day that celebrates me, the lesser of his two parents. In any case, if he’s planning to make or gift me something, this conversation has been a masterstroke of expectation management “So, will all daddies get a Father’s Day?” he asks. “Yes,” I reply, “and this isn’t new — it’s every year!” I attempt to regulate my voice/offence, but also make it very clear I haven’t made this idea up on the spot by myself. “You’ve been doing it since you were born. And it’s been around longer than that. I get things for Granddad every year, too.” At this he stirs himself up. He has never quite stopped being fascinated by the idea that his granddad is my dad, in the same way that I am his. I suppose it’s the same thrill I feel when I see pictures of massive cranes (起重机) being built by other, even bigger cranes. “What do you get him?” he asks. “Well,” I say, “things like CDs or socks — and always a card.” At this he seems inspired. “I’ll do a card!” he says, brightening. “You could buy me something, too. . .” I begin, but he is no longer listening, running to grab coloured paper and glittery pens. Not wishing to see this tribute to myself a whole week early, I smile and tell him I really shouldn’t be watching and get up to leave him to it. “Yes!” he says, just in time for me to see he’s actually writing “Dear Granddad” on the page. “Don’t tell him!” 1．How does the writer feel when explaining Father’s Day? A．Suspicious. B．Embarrassed. C．Proud. D．Ridiculous. 2．What can be inferred from the son’s response? A．The son feels hurt because the concept escapes him. B．The writer looks relieved due to his son’s tender heart. C．A face tattoo is the way to prove a son’s love for his father. D．The son identifies with Mother’s Day more than Father’s Day. 3．Why does the writer mentions Granddad? A．To justify the annual celebration of Father’s Day. B．To practice skills of expectation management. C．To narrow the gap between the three generations. D．To link Father’s Day to his son’s birthday. 4．Which of the following best summarizes the passage?

Passage 2 （2026·广东深圳市·二模） At dinnertime, if I’m anywhere near my favourite restaurant, there’s not a chance you can talk me into going somewhere else — I want to eat at China Fun. Actually, I have been eating at this restaurant for 17 years. Don’t get me wrong, trying new things is great, and I love exploring. But the pressure to always keep trying new things ignores the satisfaction of finding our loves and keeping on loving them. That’s why I dislike pop-up restaurants. I’d much rather invest my time and money in a place that will still be here next month, working my way through the menu to find my favourite dishes, and figuring out which is the best table. In a chaotic world, being a regular makes me feel that there are always places where things stay the same. In my mental map of the city, I mark all my favourites — cute bookshops, hidden gardens, and the hotdog stand that’s open only at weekends. To be a regular is to let a place become a character in your life. The act of returning builds connection, and a sense of being at home as you settle in and share a nod with the waiter before he asks if you’ll be having the usual. Some things just get better the more you do them. While relaxing weekends offer the promise of finding country paths for a wander, I would prefer revisiting a beloved walking route as the seasons turn, noticing the subtle (微妙的) changes in the same place. I’ve walked along the Thames a hundred times, but the banks look different each time as the tides move to reveal or conceal (隐藏). It feels like spending time with a friend. The river is alive, and each time we meet, we grow closer. I discovered a little local café recently. After several visits, Kirsty, the resident café cat, has finally started acknowledging my presence. The other repeat customers have also started nodding at me. They were here first and this is their café. Now they seem to be saying, “Have a seat, stay a while, and come back soon.” 1．What does the author’s restaurant preference show?
