Her name is Maria, though people usually call her la señora de las rosas. For twenty-three years, rain or shine, she has sold single roses from a metal cart for $2 each. I first noticed her during my chaotic freshman year in college. Rushing to catch the train one October day, I tripped over a loose sidewalk brick, dropping my textbooks everywhere. Before I could react, Maria was beside me, gathering the pages with hands weathered by decades of work. “Be careful, my kid,” she said softly, pressing a rose into my palm (手心). “Today needs beauty.” That rose sat in a coffee cup on my dormitory desk for weeks. When it withered (凋谢), I returned to buy another — and ended up listening to Maria’s stories between customers. She had immigrated (移居) from Colombia at sixteen, raised three children as a single mum, and kept this corner colourful with flowers even after the increase in rent forced her to close her actual shop. Last winter, Maria disappeared for two weeks. Regular customers whispered worries until a New York Post reporter discovered the truth: she’d used her savings to pay a neighbor’s medical bill. When she reappeared, wearing an oversized coat, the line at her cart stretched around the block. Strangers brought bottles of hot chocolate; a ballet dancer performed pirouettes for her amusement. On my graduation day, I brought Maria a handmade crown of flowers. She laughed, her wrinkles deepening like sunlit petals(花瓣), and pinned it above her usual seat. Now, as a teacher, I tell my students about the woman who turned a simple street corner into a sanctuary of kindness. For twenty-three years, she didn’t just sell roses  —  she spread hope, warmth, and the quiet magic of caring for strangers, proving beauty lives in ordinary hearts. 1．What is the function of paragraph 1? A．To introduce the conflict of the story. B．To highlight the theme of the story. C．To present the image of the character. D．To describe the status of the character. 2．Why did Maria press a rose into the author’s palm in paragraph 2? A．To make a friend. B．To offer comfort. C．To explain beauty. D．To secure a customer. 3．What can be inferred about Maria from paragraph 4? A．Her family shaped her kindness. B．Her kindness earned her deep respect. C．Her actions encouraged more donations. D．Her reliance on neighbors grew over time. 4．Why are Maria’s wrinkles compared to sunlit petals in paragraph 5? A．To reflect the hardships of her life. B．To describe her natural aging. C．To suggest her love for her flower business. D．To reveal her shining inner beauty. 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．B 4．D 【解析】本文讲述了作者在大学混乱的大一时期偶遇卖花女士Maria，被她的善良举动温暖，后来逐渐了解到Maria独自抚养三个孩子、用积蓄为邻居支付医药费等事迹，展现了普通人身上闪耀的人性光辉与善意的力量。 1．推理判断题。根据第一段内容“Every morning at 7:15, the flower lady appears at the 86th Street subway entrance. Her name is Maria, though people usually call her la señora de las rosas. For twenty-three years, rain or shine, she has sold single roses from a metal cart for $2 each.(每天早上7点15分，卖花女士都会出现在 86 街地铁站口。她叫Maria，不过人们通常称她为“玫瑰夫人”。23 年来，无论刮风下雨，她都推着一辆金属推车，以每枝 2 美元的价格出售单枝玫瑰。)”可知，第一段内容交代了Maria的出现时间、地点、称呼、常年卖花的人设，塑造了人物形象。由此推知，该段的功能是向读者呈现这个人物的核心形象。 2．推理判断题。根据第二段内容“Rushing to catch the train one October day, I tripped over a loose sidewalk brick, dropping my textbooks everywhere. Before I could react, Maria was beside me, gathering the pages with hands weathered by decades of work.(十月的一天，我赶着去赶火车，被一块松动的人行道砖绊倒了，课本掉得到处都是。我还没反应过来，Maria就来到我身边，用那双因几十年劳作而饱经风霜的手帮我捡书页。)”以及她的话语“‘Be careful, my kid,’ she said softly, pressing a rose into my palm. ‘Today needs beauty.’ (“小心点，孩子，”她轻声说，把一朵玫瑰塞进我的手心。“今天需要美好。”)”可知，作者意外摔倒、书本散落，处境狼狈；Maria主动帮忙捡书、温柔叮嘱、送玫瑰并安慰。由此推知，Maria送玫瑰是为了安慰摔倒受挫的作者。 3．推理判断题。根据第四段第内容“she’d used her savings to pay a neighbor’s medical bill. When she reappeared, wearing an oversized coat, the line at her cart stretched around the block. Strangers brought bottles of hot chocolate; a ballet dancer performed pirouettes for her amusement.(她用积蓄替邻居支付了医疗费。当她穿着一件宽大的外套再次出现时，她手推车前的队伍排到了街区拐角。陌生人带来了热巧克力；一位芭蕾舞演员为她表演旋转取乐。)”可知，Maria拿出积蓄帮邻居付医药费，体现了她的善良；她再次出现时，顾客排长队、陌生人送热巧克力、舞者为她表演，说明她的善良赢得了众人的尊重与爱戴。由此推知，Maria用积蓄帮助邻居的善举赢得了人们的深深尊重。 4．推理判断题。根据第五段内容“She laughed, her wrinkles deepening like sunlit petals, and pinned it above her usual seat.(她笑了，皱纹像阳光下的花瓣一样加深，把花冠别在了她常坐的位置上方。)”以及全文最后一句“For twenty-three years, she didn’t just sell roses-she spread hope, warmth, and the quiet magic of caring for strangers, proving beauty lives in ordinary hearts.(23年来，她不只是卖玫瑰 —— 她传播希望、温暖和关爱陌生人的无声魔力，证明了美好存在于平凡的心中。)”可知，花瓣是美好、温柔、美好的象征，前文一直铺垫Maria善良、温暖、乐于助人的品格。由此推知，把皱纹比作阳光下的花瓣，是用美好意象烘托她闪耀的内在善良与美好心灵，隐喻Maria闪耀的内在美。 词数：318 话题：善意的力量 浸润人文情怀 体裁：记叙文 02 A few years ago, teenager Mia Heller came across an article in her local newspaper about ongoing water quality issues in her neighborhood in Warrenton, Virginia. Tests had revealed that the water available for daily consumption was highly polluted by microplastics. Not long after that, Heller’s parents invested in a water filtration system at her home. The system, however, comes with high price tags and constant upkeep. Seeing her mother replace the water filter membranes (膜) time and again, Heller set out to find a better solution. By early January of 2025, after testing in her garage and kitchen and overcoming obstacles, she had a working prototype (原型). “It was essentially just a container,” she says. Within the container was her filtration system, Heller chose a reusable magnetic (磁性的) oil called ferrofluid to selectively bind to microplastics as water flows through her filtration system. While her model successfully filtered out the microplastics from the water in two simple steps, the system still required constant maintenance, as it did not self-recycle the ferrofluid. Determined to find an answer, Heller continued experimenting. About five trials later, she found the perfect solution. Her current prototype, which is about the size of a standard bag of flour, consists of three modules. The first unit, about a liter in volume, holds the polluted water inside it, while the second stores the magnetic oil-based ferrofluid. The core process takes place in the third module, which is much smaller. “A magnetic field pulls the microplastics out of the water, and the ferrofluid is recovered and reused in a closed circle,” explains Heller. According to her tests, her prototype successfully removed 95.52 percent of microplastics from the water and recycled 87.15 percent of the ferrofluid. Traditional drinking-water treatment plants remove about 70 to more than 90 percent of microplastic components. “The result is an affordable, low-waste filtration system without the use of a solid membrane,” says Heller. For her innovation, Heller was a finalist in the 2025 Regeneron International Science and Engineering Fair, the world’s largest global science competition for high school students. 1．What directly drove Heller to seek a better solution? A．Local water pollution. B．High household expenses. C．Frequent maintenance. D．Inspiration from a newspaper. 2．What is the key for the current prototype? A．Its special container. B．Its two-step filtration. C．Its three-module structure. D．Its closed-circle recycling. 3．Which of the following best describes Heller according to the text? A．Careful and considerate. B．Curious and cautious. C．Responsible and creative. D．Ambitious and cooperative. 4．What can we learn from Heller’s story? A．A change is as good as a rest. B．Great minds think alike. C．April showers bring May flowers. D．Small savings can add up. 【答案】1．C 2．D 3．C 4．C 【解析】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述弗吉尼亚州沃伦顿的青少年米娅·海勒（Mia Heller），因当地饮用水受微塑料严重污染，家中安装的水过滤系统不仅价格高昂还需频繁维护，她决心寻找更好的解决方案。经过多次试验，她成功研制出一种更经济、低浪费且无需固体膜的过滤系统，该系统在去除微塑料和回收磁性油方面表现出色，她也因此入围全球高中生科学竞赛决赛。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段“Seeing her mother replace the water filter membranes (膜) time and again, Heller set out to find a better solution. (看到母亲一次又一次更换水过滤膜，海勒开始寻找更好的解决方案。)”可知，直接促使海勒寻找更好解决方案的是现有过滤系统需要频繁维护。 2．推理判断题。根据第三段““A magnetic field pulls the microplastics out of the water, and the ferrofluid is recovered and reused in a closed circle,” explains Heller. (海勒解释说：“磁场将微塑料从水中吸出，磁性流体在一个封闭的循环中被回收再利用。”）可知，当前原型的关键在于其封闭循环回收功能，这使得磁性流体能够循环使用，实现更高效的过滤且减少浪费。 3．推理判断题。根据 第一段“A few years ago, teenager Mia Heller came across an article in her local newspaper about ongoing water quality issues in her neighborhood in Warrenton, Virginia. Tests had revealed that the water available for daily consumption was highly polluted by microplastics. Not long after that, Heller set out to find a better solution. (几年前，青少年米娅・海勒在当地报纸上看到一篇关于她所在的弗吉尼亚州沃伦顿社区持续存在的水质问题的文章。测试显示，日常饮用的水受到微塑料的严重污染。不久之后，海勒开始寻找更好的解决方案。)”，从这里可以看出，海勒关心社区的水污染问题，主动去寻找解决办法，体现了她的责任感。又根据第二段“By early January of 2025, after testing in her garage and kitchen and overcoming obstacles, she had a working prototype(原型). (到 2025 年 1 月初，经过在自家车库和厨房反复测试、克服重重困难后，她终于做出了可以正常运作的原型机。)以及第三段“Determined to find an answer, Heller continued experimenting. About five trials later, she found the perfect solution. Her current prototype, which is about the size of a standard bag of flour, consists of three modules. (海勒决心找到答案，继续进行试验。大约经过五次试验后，她找到了完美的解决方案。她目前的原型大约有一袋标准面粉那么大，由三个模块组成。)”，可知海勒通过不断试验，创新出独特的过滤系统，展现出她的创造力。 4．推理判断题。主要讲述弗吉尼亚州沃伦顿的青少年米娅·海勒（Mia Heller），因当地饮用水受微塑料严重污染，家中安装的水过滤系统不仅价格高昂还需频繁维护，她决心寻找更好的解决方案。经过多次试验，她成功研制出一种更经济、低浪费且无需固体膜的过滤系统，该系统在去除微塑料和回收磁性油方面表现出色，最终取得成功，就如同经历四月的春雨（困难），迎来五月的鲜花（成功）。 词数：348 话题：环境保护 体裁：记叙文 03 At 76, I’d long considered myself too set in my ways to try anything new. My life ran like a well-oiled machine, scheduled and safe. Every day followed the same simple routine without any unexpected changes. But my granddaughter’s simple question — “Grandma, when did you last do something that scared you?” — forced me to step outside my comfort zone and rethink my attitude towards life. Three old friends and I signed up for a weekend pottery workshop. I’d never touched clay in my life, and the thought of shaping it with my own trembling hands filled me with unease. On the first morning, our instructor encouraged us to give up perfection and embrace imperfection. She told us that mistakes in clay could always be repaired and turned into special beauty. I struggled to centre the clay on the wheel, my hands unskillful and awkward. More than once, the lump of earth twisted out of shape. Yet as the hours passed, something shifted. I stopped worrying about making a “good” pot and began to enjoy the quiet connection with the warm, damp clay. I focused on the gentle movement of my hands and the smooth feeling under my fingers. When my first rough bowl took shape, I felt a burst of pride I hadn’t known in decades. On the final day, we were asked to carve a single word into our work that represented what we’d gained. Most chose “joy” or “courage”. I carved “unfrozen”. To me, it meant letting go of the fear that I was too old to grow and daring to start a new journey. Our instructor looked at our creations and smiled. “You haven’t just made pots,” she said. “You’ve rewritten your own stories.” Those words stayed with me long after the workshop ended. I realized growth doesn’t retire with age; it only waits for the courage to begin again and discover a better self. 1．What made the author decide to take the pottery workshop? A．Her friends’ strong persuasion. B．Her granddaughter’s question. C．Her dream of making a bowl. D．Her hope to change her routine. 2．How did the author feel while making her first bowl? A．Anxious initially but proud later. B．Confident and calm all the way. C．Curious yet soon uninterested. D．Frustrated and discouraged halfway. 3．Why did the author carve “unfrozen” into her work? A．To show her love for pottery. B．To remember her granddaughter. C．To express her inner change. D．To praise the instructor’s help. 4．What can we infer from the text? A．Growth is still possible for the elderly. B．Perfection is the key to making good pots. C．The author was good at shaping clay at first. D．The instructor taught basic pottery skills quickly. 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．C 4．A 【解析】文章讲述了76岁的作者受孙女的问题启发，走出舒适区参加陶艺工作坊，在制作陶器的过程中克服不安、重拾成长的勇气，最终领悟到成长不会随年龄止步的故事。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段“But my granddaughter’s simple question — “Grandma, when did you last do something that scared you?” — forced me to step outside my comfort zone and rethink my attitude towards life.(但孙女那句简单的问题——“奶奶，你上一次做让自己害怕的事是什么时候？”——迫使我走出舒适区，重新思考自己对生活的态度。)”以及第二段“Three old friends and I signed up for a weekend pottery workshop.(我和三个老朋友报名参加了一个周末陶艺工作坊。)”可知，是孙女的问题让作者决定参加陶艺工作坊。 2．细节理解题。根据第二段“I’d never touched clay in my life, and the thought of shaping it with my own trembling hands filled me with unease.(我这辈子从没碰过黏土，一想到要用自己颤抖的手塑形，我就满心不安。)”以及第三段“When my first rough bowl took shape, I felt a burst of pride I hadn’t known in decades.(当我第一个粗糙的碗成型时，我感受到了几十年来从未有过的自豪感。)”可知，作者一开始感到焦虑，后来则感到自豪。 3．细节理解题。根据第四段“I carved “unfrozen”. To me, it meant letting go of the fear that I was too old to grow and daring to start a new journey.(我刻下了“解冻”。对我来说，它意味着放下“自己太老无法成长”的恐惧，敢于开启一段新的旅程。)”可知，作者刻下“unfrozen”是为了表达自己内心的转变。 4．推理判断题。根据最后一段“I realized growth doesn’t retire with age; it only waits for the courage to begin again and discover a better self.(我意识到成长不会随年龄退休，它只等待着重新开始、发现更好的自己的勇气。)”可知，老年人依然可以实现成长。 词数：320 话题：走出自己的舒适区，践行自我成长 体裁：记叙文 04 I’m Kate. Like many people in the UK, I grew up with a very narrow understanding of health. If I felt anxious or tired, I just kept going. If I had a headache, I took painkillers. There was very little thought given to why symptoms appeared or how to live in a way that might prevent them from happening. It wasn’t until my early thirties, while working in a high-stress advertising job, that everything caught up with me. I was completely burnt out. One of the most alarming symptoms I was experiencing at the time was unusual heartbeats — loud uneven throbs (跳动) that shook my chest every few minutes. I went to the hospital and was told doctors could do nothing, except to keep an eye on it in case it caused problems later in life. There was no mention of emotional tension. No questions about how I was dealing with stress. That was the moment I turned to acupuncture (针灸). I didn’t know much about it, but something about it felt right. And that first treatment marked the beginning of a deep and lasting change. Through acupuncture treatments, I found a kind of calm I hadn’t experienced in years. My mind cleared, my body felt stronger, and those frightening heartbeats became less and less noticeable. I had discovered a whole new way of seeing health and life. That experience sparked my interest. I began reading everything I could about acupuncture: not just the practical benefits, but the basic philosophy. I discovered that Chinese medicine is more of a way of understanding ourselves and the world. It teaches that our health isn’t something to hand over to someone else to fix. It’s something to respect and tend to every day, through our food, our emotional lives, our ability to respond to stress, and our relationship with nature and the seasons. 1．How did Kate treat health issues early on? A．Ignoring the root causes. B．Taking painkillers regularly. C．Stopping work when feeling tired. D．Keeping a healthy lifestyle. 2．What made Kate turn to acupuncture? A．Her heartbeats becoming more frequent. B．Doctors’ advice to keep an eye on it. C．Her high-stress advertising job. D．Doctors’ failure to address her stress. 3．What happened to Kate after her first acupuncture? A．She lost trust in doctors. B．She loved reading acupuncture books. C．She experienced inner peace. D．Her heartbeats returned to normal. 4．What does Kate think of Chinese medicine? A．It tries to reveal mental factors. B．It offers a new way to understand life. C．It works better than Western medicine. D．It requires daily food control. 【答案】1．A 2．D 3．C 4．B 【解析】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了凯特早期忽视健康问题，后因压力转向针灸并发现新健康观的故事。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段中“If I felt anxious or tired, I just kept going. If I had a headache, I took painkillers. There was very little thought given to why symptoms appeared or how to live in a way that might prevent them from happening.(如果我感到焦虑或疲惫，我就继续坚持下去。如果我头痛，我就吃止痛药。我很少去思考这些症状为何出现，或者如何以一种可能防止症状出现的方式生活。)”可知，凯特早期对待健康问题的方式是忽略根本原因。故选A。 2．细节理解题。根据第二段中“I went to the hospital and was told doctors could do nothing, except to keep an eye on it in case it caused problems later in life. There was no mention of emotional tension. No questions about how I was dealing with stress. That was the moment I turned to acupuncture (针灸).(我去了医院，医生告诉我他们无能为力，只能密切关注，以防它日后引发问题。没有提到情绪紧张。没有问我如何应对压力。就在那一刻，我转向了针灸。)”可知，医生没有解决她的压力问题，这使得凯特转向针灸。故选D。 3．细节理解题。根据第三段中“And that first treatment marked the beginning of a deep and lasting change. Through acupuncture treatments, I found a kind of calm I hadn’t experienced in years. My mind cleared, my body felt stronger, and those frightening heartbeats became less and less noticeable.(第一次治疗标志着深刻而持久的变化的开始。通过针灸治疗，我找到了一种多年来未曾体验过的平静。我的头脑清醒了，身体感觉更强壮了，那些可怕的心跳变得越来越不明显了。)”可知，凯特第一次针灸后，她体验到了内心的平静。故选C。 4．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“I discovered that Chinese medicine is more of a way of understanding ourselves and the world. It teaches that our health isn’t something to hand over to someone else to fix. It’s something to respect and tend to every day, through our food, our emotional lives, our ability to respond to stress, and our relationship with nature and the seasons.(我发现中医更多的是一种理解我们自己和世界的方式。它教导我们，健康不是交给别人去修复的东西。它是每天都要尊重和关注的东西，通过我们的食物、我们的情感生活、我们应对压力的能力，以及我们与自然和季节的关系。)”可知，凯特认为中医提供了一种理解生活的新方式。故选B。 词数：313 话题：传播中医传统文化 体裁：记叙文 05 Jennifer Hodges is a third-grade teacher. She says her students don’t just sit at desks every day. They do a lot of practical learning, such as raising coho salmon (银鲑) and then releasing them into a lake. It’s through a program called Salmon in the Classroom, established by the Alaska Department of Fish and Game. Coho salmon lay eggs in the fall, when many schools start. The eggs remain in the classroom for about six months before they are released into lakes. Though many of her students often see salmon in their backyard, few are familiar with them. Hodges says, “With this project, they have a whole different perspective because they know what it takes to actually go through the life stages of a salmon.” One of the biggest challenges in raising coho salmon, however, is their sensitivity to water temperature. With global warming becoming increasingly serious, learning about climate change is more crucial now than ever. In 2025, the Arctic had its warmest year on record. These concepts can seem abstract to third graders, but raising salmon makes them concrete, since salmon require cold water to survive. During the months when the salmon are in the classroom, students like to sit by the tank to observe, and calculate when the eggs will turn into fry (鱼苗) based on the temperature of the tank. To them, it’s not practicing math problems; it’s predicting the future. Each year in May, Hodges takes her students on the Salmon Field Trip, where they get to release the salmon they’ve raised in class. This trip imparts wisdom about life and nature, helping them grasp vital lessons they can never learn from textbooks alone. “The most memorable part is getting to say goodbye. We release the salmon after watching them hatch from eggs and grow into fry while taking care of them,” says a boy, Fisher. “I can’t be more excited at that moment.” 1．What is the main purpose of Salmon in the Classroom? A．To get salmon’s eggs for food. B．To keep salmon in the backyard. C．To teach the salmon life cycle in depth. D．To increase the salmon population in lakes. 2．What does raising salmon make students aware of? A．The urgency of understanding climate change. B．The importance of observing salmon regularly. C．The difficulty of predicting climate conditions. D．The necessity of mild weather for salmon survival. 3．What does the underlined word “imparts” in paragraph 5 mean? A．Recalls. B．Conveys. C．Requires. D．Evaluates. 4．How does Fisher find releasing the fish? A．An easy job. B．A painful story. C．A worrying moment. D．A fantastic experience. 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．B 4．D 【解析】文章介绍三年级老师带领学生课堂养殖银鲑并放生，借此学习鲑鱼生长、气候变化等自然与生活知识的实践教学活动。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段“Hodges says, “With this project, they have a whole different perspective because they know what it takes to actually go through the life stages of a salmon.”(霍奇斯说：“通过这个项目，他们有了完全不同的视角，因为他们了解鲑鱼完整经历各个生命阶段所需要的条件。”)”可知，该项目主要目的是让学生深入了解鲑鱼的生命周期，即深入教授鲑鱼的生命周期。 2．细节理解题。根据第三段“One of the biggest challenges in raising coho salmon, however, is their sensitivity to water temperature. With global warming becoming increasingly serious, learning about climate change is more crucial now than ever.(然而，饲养银鲑最大的难题之一是它们对水温十分敏感。随着全球变暖日益严重，了解气候变化比以往任何时候都更加重要)”可知，养殖鲑鱼让学生意识到了解气候变化的紧迫性。 3．词句猜测题。根据第五段“helping them grasp vital lessons they can never learn from textbooks alone.(帮助他们掌握仅靠课本无法学到的重要知识)”可知，这次旅行传授有关生命与自然的道理，帮助他们了解课堂以外的知识。因此猜测画线词imparts此处表示“传递、传授”，与Conveys意思一致。 4．推理判断题。根据最后一段“I can’t be more excited at that moment.(在那一刻我无比激动)”可知，费舍尔认为放生鲑鱼是一段极好的体验。 词数：321 话题：校园生活 体裁：记叙文 06 The moment I slid into the car, Mom hit me with the news: I was to spend the afternoon with Grandpa while she attended a meeting. My protest was immediate, but in vain, as Dad was also away on business. When we entered Grandpa’s apartment, he sat before the television. Not long after Mom left, an awkward stillness settled between us. When I tried to find a comfortable position on the worn sofa, my foot hit something solid under the furniture, and I pulled out a wooden box. Grandpa glanced over, “Oh — my chess set.” I really didn’t know Grandpa used to play chess. I just knew a boy in my class played and entered tournaments. After a thoughtful pause, he offered to teach me. Grandpa introduced each piece — the king’s deliberate steps, the queen that “zips all over”, knights tracing L-shaped paths. He made me name them all and demonstrate their moves repeatedly, correcting my bad moves with unexpected patience. During our first game, he explained every move, revealing strategic possibilities and warning against traps. I was confused by the interconnected nature of the game — how each move opened countless possibilities. Just when I thought I’d made a smart move, he would capture my piece. Eventually, he announced checkmate, my king cornered and immobile. Game after game, I lost, but each lasted a little longer. Mom’s return interrupted our game. “Chess? Did you take it easy on him, Dad?” “Absolutely not. That’s not how learning works.” She shot him a disapproving glance, but Grandpa added, “He did well. He learned a lot.” Grandpa was right. The game revealed a truth beyond the board — life, like chess, is a web of connections where each choice shapes what follows. The rigid lines between us had softened, replaced by something unspoken yet real. When I thanked Grandpa for the chess lesson, he smiled in recognition — the first time I could ever remember seeing him do so. 1．What was the relationship between the author and his Grandpa before that afternoon? A．Distant. B．Close. C．Bitter. D．Harmonious. 2．What does the underlined word “checkmate” most likely mean? A．A person who checks the result. B．A situation where no move remains. C．A position where the king stays. D．A move that captures one of the knights. 3．Why wouldn’t Grandpa go easy on the author? A．To express his disapproval. B．To help the author improve quickly. C．To reveal a truth to the author. D．To show interconnected nature of the game. 4．What is the best title for the passage? A．A Strict Grandpa. B．A Connecting Web. C．A Newly-formed Bond. D．A Pleasant Chess Lesson. 【答案】1．A 2．B 3．B 4．C 【解析】主要讲述作者被迫在下午陪爷爷，一开始两人相处尴尬，后来爷爷教作者下国际象棋，作者在失败中学习，最后两人关系改善，作者领悟到生活和象棋一样，选择会影响后续发展，一种新的情感纽带在两人间形成。 1．推理判断题。根据第一段“The moment I slid into the car, Mom hit me with the news: I was to spend the afternoon with Grandpa while she attended a meeting. My protest was immediate(我一上车，妈妈就告诉我这个消息：她去开会的时候，我要和爷爷共度下午。我立刻表示抗议)”及第二段“Not long after Mom left, an awkward stillness settled between us.(妈妈离开后不久，一种尴尬的寂静在我们之间蔓延开来)”可知，作者起初抗拒和爷爷待在一起，两人相处尴尬，说明在那个下午之前作者和爷爷关系疏远。 2．词句猜测题。根据第四段“my king cornered and immobile(我的“国王”被困住，无法移动)”可知，“checkmate”指的是一种局面，在这种局面下，一方的“国王”被逼迫到角落无法移动，也就是没有可走的棋了，所以“checkmate”最有可能的意思是“没有棋可走的局面”。 3．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“He did well. He learned a lot.(他下得很好。学到了很多)”可知，爷爷不让着作者，是想帮助作者快速提升。 4．主旨大意题。通读全文，并结合最后一段中“The rigid lines between us had softened, replaced by something unspoken yet real. When I thanked Grandpa for the chess lesson, he smiled in recognition — the first time I could ever remember seeing him do so.(我和爷爷之间原本僵硬疏远的关系慢慢变得柔和，多了一份无声却真切的亲情。当我向爷爷道谢时，他欣慰地笑了，那是我记忆里第一次看到他笑)”可知，主要讲述作者被迫在下午陪爷爷，一开始两人相处尴尬，后来爷爷教作者下国际象棋，作者在失败中学习，最后两人关系改善，一种新的情感纽带在两人间形成。C选项“一种新形成的纽带”为最佳标题。 词数：329 话题：人生感悟 体裁：记叙文 07 Do I think the sky is falling? Sort of. The game of life is hard, and a lot of us are playing hurt. I ache for the world but naturally I’m mostly watching the Me Movie, where balance and strength are beginning to fail. What can we do as the creaking (嘎吱响的) elevators of age slowly go down? The main solution is to get outside every day, ideally with friends. Old friends — even thoughts of them — are my comfort. Recently I was walking along a beach with Neshama. We go back 50 years. She is 84, short and strong. Every so often, she bent down somewhat cautiously and picked up small items into a small cloth bag. “What are you doing?” “I’m picking up micro litter. I try to help where I can.” I reminded her of an old story. A great warhorse found a tiny sparrow (麻雀) struggling to straighten a bent tree in the wind. The horse laughed and doubted its power, but the sparrow replies, “One does what one can.” This is what older age means; we do what we can. We continued our walk. Neshama bent to pick up bits of litter and started to slip, but I caught her and we laughed. We are so physically vulnerable in older age. We have caught each other a lot and have come through some periods of darkness and overwhelming losses, but friendship makes it all a rowing machine for the soul. We can take it as long as we feel and give love, and laugh gently at ourselves as we fall apart. We know by a certain age the great lies in our life — if you do or achieve this or that, you will be happy and rich. No. Love and service make us rich. 1．What does the author think of her present life? A．She enjoys making new friends. B．She feels more struggles over aging process. C．She finds it challenging to handle family crises. D．She wants others to learn from her life experiences. 2．What message does the story of the sparrow convey? A．Age makes small efforts less meaningful over time. B．Strength in numbers is necessary to change the world. C．Even the smallest action will contribute to a bigger result. D．Every small action counts, no matter how insignificant it seems. 3．What does the underlined phrase “a rowing machine” most probably mean? A．A tool that brings physical exercise and strength. B．An endless routine that traps people in life troubles. C．A spiritual support that helps get through hardships. D．A burden that wears people down mentally over time. 4．What can be the best title for the text? A．Dark Days, Heavy Hearts B．Little Steps, Full Hearts C．Fading Age, Fading Strength D．Old Friends, Forever Homes 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．C 4．B 【解析】文章主要讲述了作者与老友海滩散步，感悟衰老中友谊与微小善举的力量。 1．推理判断题。根据第二段中“I ache for the world but naturally I’m mostly watching the Me Movie, where balance and strength are beginning to fail. What can we do as the creaking (嘎吱响的) elevators of age slowly go down?(我为世事心生感慨，但多半还是困在自己的人生剧本里，身心的平衡与力量都开始走下坡路。当岁月如嘎吱作响的电梯缓缓下行，我们该何去何从？)”可知，作者感到自己正在衰老，平衡和力量都在衰退，对衰老过程感到挣扎和无奈。 2．推理判断题。 根据第四段中“A great warhorse found a tiny sparrow struggling to straighten a bent tree in the wind. The horse laughed and doubted its power, but the sparrow replies, “One does what one can.”This is what older age means; we do what we can.(一匹骏马发现一只小麻雀在风中挣扎着扶正一棵弯曲的树。马嘲笑它，怀疑它的力量，但麻雀回答说：“尽己所能。”这就是年老的含义；我们尽己所能。)”可知，麻雀的故事传达的是：无论多么微小，每个人都应尽己所能做自己能做的事。 3．词句猜测题。 根据最后一段中“We have caught each other a lot and have come through some periods of darkness and overwhelming losses, but friendship makes it all a rowing machine for the soul. We can take it as long as we feel and give love, and laugh gently at ourselves as we fall apart.(我们互相扶持了很多次，度过了一些黑暗和巨大损失的时期，但友谊使这一切成为灵魂的a rowing machine。只要我们能感受和给予爱，我们就能承受，并在崩溃时温柔地笑对自己。)”可知，我们互相扶持了很多次，度过了一些黑暗和巨大损失的时期，但友谊是帮助度过难关的精神支持，a rowing machine for the soul指的是“在困难中给予精神支持的东西”。 4．主旨大意题。 通读全文可知，文章通过作者与老友在海滩捡拾微小垃圾的故事，以及麻雀“尽己所能”的寓言，传达了一个核心思想：即使是微小的行动也有意义，而爱与友谊让内心充实。“Little Steps, Full Hearts(小小的步伐，满满的心灵)”最能概括全文主旨。 词数：303 话题：微小善举的力量 体裁：记叙文 08 Have you ever let circumstances convince you that your dreams are out of reach? Nancy Solari’s life is a powerful answer to that doubt — she turned blindness, loss, and hardship into a life of purpose, proving that “vision” has little to do with sight. At 10, Nancy watched The Oprah Winfrey Show and knew she wanted to be a host. She later studied Broadcasting and Psychology, building an early career in production and on-air reporting. But at 16, a diagnosis of Retinitis Pigmentosa — a degenerative eye disease — changed everything. Her vision faded slowly: first, reading teleprompters became a struggle, then faces blurred, until she was legally blind. She also faced domestic violence, family tensions, and painful personal loss, each challenge strengthening her resilience. One thing that sets Nancy apart is the way she connects with people in interviews. Instead of depending on prewritten notes, she prepares by listening closely and allowing guests’ stories of heartbreak and success to shape the conversation. “I don’t read notes,” she once shared. “The dialogue unfolds naturally, and guests often find it therapeutic.” Today, Nancy’s influence reaches far beyond broadcasting. She hosts The Living Full Out Show, a radio and TV platform reaching millions, and founded Nonprofit MVP, a TV competition that offers exposure and prizes to worthy nonprofits. As a coach and speaker, she encourages people to turn obstacles into opportunities. For Nancy, “Living Full Out” — her life’s mantra (信条) — means trusting in faith, asking for help when necessary, and refusing to let adversity define her story. Her journey teaches us a timeless lesson: Our greatest limitations are often the ones we accept. With purpose and courage, even the darkest challenges can become the foundation of our brightest achievements. 1．Why does the author mention The Oprah Winfrey Show in paragraph 2? A．To introduce the history of broadcasting. B．To show Nancy’s early interest in psychology. C．To identify the source of Nancy’s career dream. D．To compare Nancy’s hosting style with Oprah’s. 2．How does Nancy make her interviews special? A．By using detailed prewritten notes. B．By developing conversations naturally. C．By inviting famous guests to her show. D．By focusing on guests’ success stories. 3．Which of the following can best describe Nancy? A．Determined and influential. B．Humorous and relaxed. C．Quiet and dependent. D．Strict and doubtful. 4．What message does this text mainly convey? A．Media work needs special skills. B．Loss can prevent personal growth. C．Purpose and courage beat hardship. D．Success depends on public support. 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．A 4．C 【解析】主要讲述南希虽遭遇失明、生活磨难，仍坚守主持梦想、励志追梦并激励他人的人生故事。 1．推理判断题。根据第二段中的“At 10, Nancy watched The Oprah Winfrey Show and knew she wanted to be a host.(南希十岁时观看《奥普拉脱口秀》，从此立志成为一名主持人。)”可知，作者提及该节目是为了点明南希职业梦想的来源。 2．细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Instead of depending on prewritten notes, she prepares by listening closely and allowing guests’ stories of heartbreak and success to shape the conversation. (她不依赖提前写好的稿件，而是通过认真倾听，让嘉宾那些关于悲痛与成功的故事自然主导整场对话。)”以及“The dialogue unfolds naturally, and guests often find it therapeutic.(对话流畅自然地展开，嘉宾们常常觉得这样的交流具有治愈效果。)”可知，南希通过自然推进对话的方式让访谈别具特色。 3．推理判断题。根据第二段中的“She also faced domestic violence, family tensions, and painful personal loss, each challenge strengthening her resilience.(她还面临家庭暴力、家庭矛盾以及痛苦的个人失去，每一次挑战都让她更加坚韧。)”以及第四段中的“Today, Nancy’s influence reaches far beyond broadcasting.(如今她的影响力早已远超广播行业)”可知，南希意志坚定且富有影响力。 4．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是尾段中的“Our greatest limitations are often the ones we accept. With purpose and courage, even the darkest challenges can become the foundation of our brightest achievements.(人最大的局限往往是自我设限，心怀目标与勇气，再大的困境也能成为成就的基石。)”可知，文章传递出心怀志向与勇气便能战胜苦难的人生道理。 词数：291 话题：励志追梦的人生故事 体裁：记叙文 09 Back in 2003, Erica Fernandez was just a kid helping 20 adults take care of the beach. They overheard a plan to build a processing station for natural gas 14 miles off the coast of Oxnard. The plant would send over 200 tons of air pollution per year to Erica’s community. Not only that, the station would take in millions of gallons of seawater per day to cool its generators, and discharge the water more than 15 degrees centigrade hotter than the surrounding ocean. This hot wastewater would cause serious harm to the surrounding ecosystem, killing tiny creatures and small fish critical to the survival of marine mammals and fisheries. Erica cared too much to stay silent. She joined her friends in weekly protests at the office of the natural gas company. Prospects of stopping the project did not look good. The governor was in favor of it, and so were the powerful state commissions that would have to approve it. “The word on the street was that there was nothing we could do.” Behind the scenes, however, opposition was growing, so Erica became the spokesperson for the youth of the town. She regularly walked her neighborhood along the route of the proposed pipeline, using a hula hoop to show people the size of the pipe that would pass by their houses. She talked to the media, and stories about the dangers of the proposed facility began appearing in the press. “We made thousands of phone calls and sent thousands of postcards telling the governor why this facility was a bad idea.” In July 2007, the governor made an unexpected move: He turned down the project. Erica and her friends won! As only the second person in her family to go to college, Erica wants to become an environmental lawyer so she can fight for the environment and for the rights of communities. She wants other young people to speak out when they see something wrong, even if they feel shy about it at first. She likes to quote the words of her role model, César Chávez: “We are the future. The future is ours.” 1．What can be learned about the to-be-built processing station? A．It is well-equipped. B．It is energy-saving. C．It is climate-damaging. D．It is ecologically-unfriendly. 2．Why does the author mention the authorities’ response in paragraph 2? A．To express Erica’s desperate mood. B．To show the great barriers Erica faced. C．To illustrate the power of public voice. D．To stress the support from the government. 3．Which of the following can best describe Erica? A．Determined and responsible. B．Pioneering and curious. C．Adventurous and aggressive. D．Creative and industrious. 4．What message is mainly conveyed through Erica’s story? A．Teamwork leads to success. B．Bravery eventually pays off. C．Speaking out makes a difference. D．Actions speak louder than words. 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．A 4．C 【解析】文章主要讲述女孩Erica得知海边拟建天然气处理站会污染空气、破坏海洋生态后，不惧政府及相关机构的支持态度，带领年轻人通过抗议、宣传、呼吁等方式努力抗争，最终成功阻止项目建设，并立志成为环保律师，鼓励年轻人勇敢发声维护环境与正义。 1．细节理解题。根据原文第一段“This hot wastewater would cause serious harm to the surrounding ecosystem, killing tiny creatures and small fish critical to the survival of marine mammals and fisheries.(这些高温废水会严重破坏周边生态系统，杀死对海洋哺乳动物和渔业生存至关重要的微生物与小鱼。)”可知，这座拟建的处理站对生态环境有害。 2．推理判断题。根据原文第二段“Erica cared too much to stay silent.(Erica十分在意这件事，无法保持沉默。)”及“The governor was in favor of it, and so were the powerful state commissions that would have to approve it.(州长支持该项目，拥有审批权的州权威委员会也表示支持。)” 可知，作者提及官方态度，是为了凸显Erica当时面临巨大的阻碍与压力。 3．推理判断题。根据原文第二段“Erica cared too much to stay silent. She joined her friends in weekly protests at the office of the natural gas company.(Erica于心不忍，不愿坐视不理、保持沉默。她和朋友们每周都去这家天然气公司办公楼举行抗议活动。)”及第三段“She talked to the media, and stories about the dangers of the proposed facility began appearing in the press. “We made thousands of phone calls and sent thousands of postcards telling the governor why this facility was a bad idea.” In July 2007, the governor made an unexpected move: He turned down the project. Erica and her friends won!(她接受媒体采访，有关这座拟建设施潜在危害的报道开始见诸报端。“我们打了上千通电话、寄出上千张明信片，向州长说明这个项目为何不可行。”2007年7月，州长做出了出人意料的决定：驳回了该项目的审批。Erica和伙伴们最终取得了胜利！)”可知，Erica心系环境，坚持组织抗议、奔走宣传、呼吁民众，不畏强权坚持抗争并最终取得胜利，说明她意志坚定、有责任感。 4．推理判断题。根据原文最后一段“She wants other young people to speak out when they see something wrong, even if they feel shy about it at first.(她希望其他年轻人看到不公之事时勇敢发声，即便一开始会感到胆怯。)” 以及她自身发声抗争终获成功的经历可知，文章传递的信息是：勇敢发声就能带来改变。 词数：355 话题：维护环境与正义 体裁：记叙文 10 Oregon forests were the playground of my childhood, and our house there had a wide wraparound porch that started from the front door and finally extended the entire length of the back of the house. That porch — and indeed, almost every porch — was a place to gather and party, a place where neighbors stood as they dropped off dishes, a place where we sat in the soft sun of a spring afternoon and told stories and whispered rumors and made up tales of what lived deeper in the woods. This was, I think, the beginning of my fascination with the front porch. If a house is a place where we learn to create a home, then a front porch is an in-between space, a borderland that lets us keep some things at arm’s length, while inviting other things close, a place that is at once public and private. I remember my grandmother sitting there as she enjoyed the cooling air of a summer evening and talked to my parents, my aunts, my uncles, and all the cousins old enough for ‘adult’ conversation. As neighbors walked by they would pause, they would chat, they would check in with one another. These were not organized events. They were a part of everyday life. However, when did the front porch begin to disappear? When did we retreat inside, each confined to our own spaces, with no care for what was happening outside our front doors? It feels like this change has come about gradually, and been accompanied by challenges like loneliness, and a breakdown of our community ties — and I can’t help but think they must be connected. When I investigate community care and mutual aid, I am surprised by the types of actions that are suggested for those looking to build stronger communities. An incomplete list: get to know your neighbors, socialize with those who live nearby, share childcare duties, teach one another new skills. You see, we’ve always known how to do this work. It is nothing new. Nothing radical. Nothing revolutionary — it can be as simple as stepping out of our doors and sitting on our own front porch. 1．What was the porch like in the author’s childhood memories? A．A family-only reunion spot. B．A quiet corner for reading stories. C．A lively center of social activities. D．An occasion-specific party place. 2．Why does the author mention her grandmother and neighbors in paragraph 3? A．To recall previous porch-events. B．To show porch activities as daily life. C．To highlight the porch’s decline. D．To stress the close family relationship. 3．What led to the disappearance of front porches? A．A link to weaker community ties. B．A reflection of improved lifestyles. C．A result of limited housing space. D．A shift toward indoor entertainment. 4．What message does the passage convey? A．The unavoidable decline of face-to-face interactions. B．The necessity of formal events for neighborhood ties. C．The insignificance of porches in modern community building. D．The power of simple daily acts in fostering community bonds. 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．A 4．D 【解析】文章主要讲的是作者回忆童年时前廊作为邻里社交热闹场所的经历，反思其逐渐消失与社区纽带弱化之间的关联，并呼吁通过像“坐在前廊”这样简单的日常行为来重建社区联系。 1．细节理解。根据第一段“That porch — and indeed, almost every porch — was a place to gather and party, a place where neighbors stood as they dropped off dishes, a place where we sat in the soft sun of a spring afternoon and told stories and whispered rumors and made up tales of what lived deeper in the woods. (那个门廊——实际上，几乎每一个门廊都是人们聚会和狂欢的场所，是邻居们把菜肴送来时会站在门廊边闲聊，也是我们在春日午后柔和的阳光下坐在一起讲故事、窃窃私语谈论传闻以及编造关于森林深处生物的故事的地方。)”可知，前廊是人们聚集、聚会、邻里驻足聊天、讲故事、说闲话的地方，呈现出热闹活跃的社交场景。 2．推理判断题。根据第三段“I remember my grandmother sitting there as she enjoyed the cooling air of a summer evening and talked to my parents, my aunts, my uncles, and all the cousins old enough for ‘adult’ conversation. As neighbors walked by they would pause, they would chat, they would check in with one another. These were not organized events. They were a part of everyday life. (我记得当时我的祖母就坐在那里，享受着夏日夜晚的凉爽空气，还与我的父母、姑姑、叔叔以及所有年龄足够大、能进行“成人”交流的堂兄弟姐妹们交谈着。当邻居们路过时，他们会停下来，交谈几句，彼此问候一下。这些并非是有组织的活动，而是日常生活的一部分。)”可知，作者在第三段中提及她的祖母和邻居们是为了展现门廊活动是日常生活的一部分。 3．细节理解题。根据第四段“It feels like this change has come about gradually, and been accompanied by challenges like loneliness, and a breakdown of our community ties — and I can’t help but think they must be connected. (感觉这种变化是逐渐发生的，并且伴随着诸如孤独感以及我们社区联系的破裂等种种问题——我不禁觉得这些现象之间肯定存在着某种关联。)”可知，作者将前廊的消失与社区纽带弱化视为彼此关联的现象，隐含二者存在因果联系。 4．主旨大意题。根据最后一段“It is nothing new. Nothing radical. Nothing revolutionary — it can be as simple as stepping out of our doors and sitting on our own front porch. (这并非什么新鲜事。也并非什么激进之举。更不是什么革命性的举措——它可能仅仅就是走出家门，坐在自家的门廊上这么简单。)”结合全文对前廊日常社交的怀念，以及社区纽带重建的讨论，可知文章主旨在于传达：像出门坐在前廊这样简单的日常行为，恰恰是培育社区联系的有力方式。 词数：363 话题：重建社区联系 体裁：记叙文 2 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！ 10 / 22 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 必做的10篇经典阅读理解—记叙文 目录 经典试题01------------------------------------------------------------善意的力量 经典试题02------------------------------------------------------------环境保护 经典试题03---------------------------------------------走出自己的舒适区，践行自我成长 经典试题04------------------------------------------------------------传播中医传统文化 经典试题05------------------------------------------------------------校园生活 经典试题06------------------------------------------------------------人生感悟 经典试题07------------------------------------------------------------微小善举的力量 经典试题08------------------------------------------------------------励志追梦的人生故事 经典试题09------------------------------------------------------------维护环境与正义 经典试题10------------------------------------------------------------重建社区联系 考前必做经典10题 01 Every morning at 7:15, the flower lady appears at the 86th Street subway entrance. Her name is Maria, though people usually call her la señora de las rosas. For twenty-three years, rain or shine, she has sold single roses from a metal cart for $2 each. I first noticed her during my chaotic freshman year in college. Rushing to catch the train one October day, I tripped over a loose sidewalk brick, dropping my textbooks everywhere. Before I could react, Maria was beside me, gathering the pages with hands weathered by decades of work. “Be careful, my kid,” she said softly, pressing a rose into my palm (手心). “Today needs beauty.” That rose sat in a coffee cup on my dormitory desk for weeks. When it withered (凋谢), I returned to buy another — and ended up listening to Maria’s stories between customers. She had immigrated (移居) from Colombia at sixteen, raised three children as a single mum, and kept this corner colourful with flowers even after the increase in rent forced her to close her actual shop. Last winter, Maria disappeared for two weeks. Regular customers whispered worries until a New York Post reporter discovered the truth: she’d used her savings to pay a neighbor’s medical bill. When she reappeared, wearing an oversized coat, the line at her cart stretched around the block. Strangers brought bottles of hot chocolate; a ballet dancer performed pirouettes for her amusement. On my graduation day, I brought Maria a handmade crown of flowers. She laughed, her wrinkles deepening like sunlit petals(花瓣), and pinned it above her usual seat. Now, as a teacher, I tell my students about the woman who turned a simple street corner into a sanctuary of kindness. For twenty-three years, she didn’t just sell roses  —  she spread hope, warmth, and the quiet magic of caring for strangers, proving beauty lives in ordinary hearts. 1．What is the function of paragraph 1? A．To introduce the conflict of the story. B．To highlight the theme of the story. C．To present the image of the character. D．To describe the status of the character. 2．Why did Maria press a rose into the author’s palm in paragraph 2? A．To make a friend. B．To offer comfort. C．To explain beauty. D．To secure a customer. 3．What can be inferred about Maria from paragraph 4? A．Her family shaped her kindness. B．Her kindness earned her deep respect. C．Her actions encouraged more donations. D．Her reliance on neighbors grew over time. 4．Why are Maria’s wrinkles compared to sunlit petals in paragraph 5? A．To reflect the hardships of her life. B．To describe her natural aging. C．To suggest her love for her flower business. D．To reveal her shining inner beauty. 词数：318 话题：善意的力量 浸润人文情怀 体裁：记叙文 02 A few years ago, teenager Mia Heller came across an article in her local newspaper about ongoing water quality issues in her neighborhood in Warrenton, Virginia. Tests had revealed that the water available for daily consumption was highly polluted by microplastics. Not long after that, Heller’s parents invested in a water filtration system at her home. The system, however, comes with high price tags and constant upkeep. Seeing her mother replace the water filter membranes (膜) time and again, Heller set out to find a better solution. By early January of 2025, after testing in her garage and kitchen and overcoming obstacles, she had a working prototype (原型). “It was essentially just a container,” she says. Within the container was her filtration system, Heller chose a reusable magnetic (磁性的) oil called ferrofluid to selectively bind to microplastics as water flows through her filtration system. While her model successfully filtered out the microplastics from the water in two simple steps, the system still required constant maintenance, as it did not self-recycle the ferrofluid. Determined to find an answer, Heller continued experimenting. About five trials later, she found the perfect solution. Her current prototype, which is about the size of a standard bag of flour, consists of three modules. The first unit, about a liter in volume, holds the polluted water inside it, while the second stores the magnetic oil-based ferrofluid. The core process takes place in the third module, which is much smaller. “A magnetic field pulls the microplastics out of the water, and the ferrofluid is recovered and reused in a closed circle,” explains Heller. According to her tests, her prototype successfully removed 95.52 percent of microplastics from the water and recycled 87.15 percent of the ferrofluid. Traditional drinking-water treatment plants remove about 70 to more than 90 percent of microplastic components. “The result is an affordable, low-waste filtration system without the use of a solid membrane,” says Heller. For her innovation, Heller was a finalist in the 2025 Regeneron International Science and Engineering Fair, the world’s largest global science competition for high school students. 1．What directly drove Heller to seek a better solution? A．Local water pollution. B．High household expenses. C．Frequent maintenance. D．Inspiration from a newspaper. 2．What is the key for the current prototype? A．Its special container. B．Its two-step filtration. C．Its three-module structure. D．Its closed-circle recycling. 3．Which of the following best describes Heller according to the text? A．Careful and considerate. B．Curious and cautious. C．Responsible and creative. D．Ambitious and cooperative. 4．What can we learn from Heller’s story? A．A change is as good as a rest. B．Great minds think alike. C．April showers bring May flowers. D．Small savings can add up. 词数：348 话题：环境保护 体裁：记叙文 03 At 76, I’d long considered myself too set in my ways to try anything new. My life ran like a well-oiled machine, scheduled and safe. Every day followed the same simple routine without any unexpected changes. But my granddaughter’s simple question — “Grandma, when did you last do something that scared you?” — forced me to step outside my comfort zone and rethink my attitude towards life. Three old friends and I signed up for a weekend pottery workshop. I’d never touched clay in my life, and the thought of shaping it with my own trembling hands filled me with unease. On the first morning, our instructor encouraged us to give up perfection and embrace imperfection. She told us that mistakes in clay could always be repaired and turned into special beauty. I struggled to centre the clay on the wheel, my hands unskillful and awkward. More than once, the lump of earth twisted out of shape. Yet as the hours passed, something shifted. I stopped worrying about making a “good” pot and began to enjoy the quiet connection with the warm, damp clay. I focused on the gentle movement of my hands and the smooth feeling under my fingers. When my first rough bowl took shape, I felt a burst of pride I hadn’t known in decades. On the final day, we were asked to carve a single word into our work that represented what we’d gained. Most chose “joy” or “courage”. I carved “unfrozen”. To me, it meant letting go of the fear that I was too old to grow and daring to start a new journey. Our instructor looked at our creations and smiled. “You haven’t just made pots,” she said. “You’ve rewritten your own stories.” Those words stayed with me long after the workshop ended. I realized growth doesn’t retire with age; it only waits for the courage to begin again and discover a better self. 1．What made the author decide to take the pottery workshop? A．Her friends’ strong persuasion. B．Her granddaughter’s question. C．Her dream of making a bowl. D．Her hope to change her routine. 2．How did the author feel while making her first bowl? A．Anxious initially but proud later. B．Confident and calm all the way. C．Curious yet soon uninterested. D．Frustrated and discouraged halfway. 3．Why did the author carve “unfrozen” into her work? A．To show her love for pottery. B．To remember her granddaughter. C．To express her inner change. D．To praise the instructor’s help. 4．What can we infer from the text? A．Growth is still possible for the elderly. B．Perfection is the key to making good pots. C．The author was good at shaping clay at first. D．The instructor taught basic pottery skills quickly. 词数：320 话题：走出自己的舒适区，践行自我成长 体裁：记叙文 04 I’m Kate. Like many people in the UK, I grew up with a very narrow understanding of health. If I felt anxious or tired, I just kept going. If I had a headache, I took painkillers. There was very little thought given to why symptoms appeared or how to live in a way that might prevent them from happening. It wasn’t until my early thirties, while working in a high-stress advertising job, that everything caught up with me. I was completely burnt out. One of the most alarming symptoms I was experiencing at the time was unusual heartbeats — loud uneven throbs (跳动) that shook my chest every few minutes. I went to the hospital and was told doctors could do nothing, except to keep an eye on it in case it caused problems later in life. There was no mention of emotional tension. No questions about how I was dealing with stress. That was the moment I turned to acupuncture (针灸). I didn’t know much about it, but something about it felt right. And that first treatment marked the beginning of a deep and lasting change. Through acupuncture treatments, I found a kind of calm I hadn’t experienced in years. My mind cleared, my body felt stronger, and those frightening heartbeats became less and less noticeable. I had discovered a whole new way of seeing health and life. That experience sparked my interest. I began reading everything I could about acupuncture: not just the practical benefits, but the basic philosophy. I discovered that Chinese medicine is more of a way of understanding ourselves and the world. It teaches that our health isn’t something to hand over to someone else to fix. It’s something to respect and tend to every day, through our food, our emotional lives, our ability to respond to stress, and our relationship with nature and the seasons. 1．How did Kate treat health issues early on? A．Ignoring the root causes. B．Taking painkillers regularly. C．Stopping work when feeling tired. D．Keeping a healthy lifestyle. 2．What made Kate turn to acupuncture? A．Her heartbeats becoming more frequent. B．Doctors’ advice to keep an eye on it. C．Her high-stress advertising job. D．Doctors’ failure to address her stress. 3．What happened to Kate after her first acupuncture? A．She lost trust in doctors. B．She loved reading acupuncture books. C．She experienced inner peace. D．Her heartbeats returned to normal. 4．What does Kate think of Chinese medicine? A．It tries to reveal mental factors. B．It offers a new way to understand life. C．It works better than Western medicine. D．It requires daily food control. 词数：313 话题：传播中医传统文化 体裁：记叙文 05 Jennifer Hodges is a third-grade teacher. She says her students don’t just sit at desks every day. They do a lot of practical learning, such as raising coho salmon (银鲑) and then releasing them into a lake. It’s through a program called Salmon in the Classroom, established by the Alaska Department of Fish and Game. Coho salmon lay eggs in the fall, when many schools start. The eggs remain in the classroom for about six months before they are released into lakes. Though many of her students often see salmon in their backyard, few are familiar with them. Hodges says, “With this project, they have a whole different perspective because they know what it takes to actually go through the life stages of a salmon.” One of the biggest challenges in raising coho salmon, however, is their sensitivity to water temperature. With global warming becoming increasingly serious, learning about climate change is more crucial now than ever. In 2025, the Arctic had its warmest year on record. These concepts can seem abstract to third graders, but raising salmon makes them concrete, since salmon require cold water to survive. During the months when the salmon are in the classroom, students like to sit by the tank to observe, and calculate when the eggs will turn into fry (鱼苗) based on the temperature of the tank. To them, it’s not practicing math problems; it’s predicting the future. Each year in May, Hodges takes her students on the Salmon Field Trip, where they get to release the salmon they’ve raised in class. This trip imparts wisdom about life and nature, helping them grasp vital lessons they can never learn from textbooks alone. “The most memorable part is getting to say goodbye. We release the salmon after watching them hatch from eggs and grow into fry while taking care of them,” says a boy, Fisher. “I can’t be more excited at that moment.” 1．What is the main purpose of Salmon in the Classroom? A．To get salmon’s eggs for food. B．To keep salmon in the backyard. C．To teach the salmon life cycle in depth. D．To increase the salmon population in lakes. 2．What does raising salmon make students aware of? A．The urgency of understanding climate change. B．The importance of observing salmon regularly. C．The difficulty of predicting climate conditions. D．The necessity of mild weather for salmon survival. 3．What does the underlined word “imparts” in paragraph 5 mean? A．Recalls. B．Conveys. C．Requires. D．Evaluates. 4．How does Fisher find releasing the fish? A．An easy job. B．A painful story. C．A worrying moment. D．A fantastic experience. 词数：321 话题：校园生活 体裁：记叙文 06 The moment I slid into the car, Mom hit me with the news: I was to spend the afternoon with Grandpa while she attended a meeting. My protest was immediate, but in vain, as Dad was also away on business. When we entered Grandpa’s apartment, he sat before the television. Not long after Mom left, an awkward stillness settled between us. When I tried to find a comfortable position on the worn sofa, my foot hit something solid under the furniture, and I pulled out a wooden box. Grandpa glanced over, “Oh — my chess set.” I really didn’t know Grandpa used to play chess. I just knew a boy in my class played and entered tournaments. After a thoughtful pause, he offered to teach me. Grandpa introduced each piece — the king’s deliberate steps, the queen that “zips all over”, knights tracing L-shaped paths. He made me name them all and demonstrate their moves repeatedly, correcting my bad moves with unexpected patience. During our first game, he explained every move, revealing strategic possibilities and warning against traps. I was confused by the interconnected nature of the game — how each move opened countless possibilities. Just when I thought I’d made a smart move, he would capture my piece. Eventually, he announced checkmate, my king cornered and immobile. Game after game, I lost, but each lasted a little longer. Mom’s return interrupted our game. “Chess? Did you take it easy on him, Dad?” “Absolutely not. That’s not how learning works.” She shot him a disapproving glance, but Grandpa added, “He did well. He learned a lot.” Grandpa was right. The game revealed a truth beyond the board — life, like chess, is a web of connections where each choice shapes what follows. The rigid lines between us had softened, replaced by something unspoken yet real. When I thanked Grandpa for the chess lesson, he smiled in recognition — the first time I could ever remember seeing him do so. 1．What was the relationship between the author and his Grandpa before that afternoon?

I ache for the world but naturally I’m mostly watching the Me Movie, where balance and strength are beginning to fail. What can we do as the creaking (嘎吱响的) elevators of age slowly go down? The main solution is to get outside every day, ideally with friends. Old friends — even thoughts of them — are my comfort. Recently I was walking along a beach with Neshama. We go back 50 years. She is 84, short and strong. Every so often, she bent down somewhat cautiously and picked up small items into a small cloth bag. “What are you doing?” “I’m picking up micro litter. I try to help where I can.” I reminded her of an old story. A great warhorse found a tiny sparrow (麻雀) struggling to straighten a bent tree in the wind. The horse laughed and doubted its power, but the sparrow replies, “One does what one can.” This is what older age means; we do what we can. We continued our walk. Neshama bent to pick up bits of litter and started to slip, but I caught her and we laughed. We are so physically vulnerable in older age. We have caught each other a lot and have come through some periods of darkness and overwhelming losses, but friendship makes it all a rowing machine for the soul. We can take it as long as we feel and give love, and laugh gently at ourselves as we fall apart. We know by a certain age the great lies in our life — if you do or achieve this or that, you will be happy and rich. No. Love and service make us rich. 1．What does the author think of her present life? A．She enjoys making new friends. B．She feels more struggles over aging process. C．She finds it challenging to handle family crises. D．She wants others to learn from her life experiences. 2．What message does the story of the sparrow convey? A．Age makes small efforts less meaningful over time. B．Strength in numbers is necessary to change the world. C．Even the smallest action will contribute to a bigger result. D．Every small action counts, no matter how insignificant it seems. 3．What does the underlined phrase “a rowing machine” most probably mean? A．A tool that brings physical exercise and strength. B．An endless routine that traps people in life troubles. C．A spiritual support that helps get through hardships. D．A burden that wears people down mentally over time. 4．What can be the best title for the text? A．Dark Days, Heavy Hearts B．Little Steps, Full Hearts C．Fading Age, Fading Strength D．Old Friends, Forever Homes 词数：303 话题：微小善举的力量 体裁：记叙文 08 Have you ever let circumstances convince you that your dreams are out of reach? Nancy Solari’s life is a powerful answer to that doubt — she turned blindness, loss, and hardship into a life of purpose, proving that “vision” has little to do with sight. At 10, Nancy watched The Oprah Winfrey Show and knew she wanted to be a host. She later studied Broadcasting and Psychology, building an early career in production and on-air reporting. But at 16, a diagnosis of Retinitis Pigmentosa — a degenerative eye disease — changed everything. Her vision faded slowly: first, reading teleprompters became a struggle, then faces blurred, until she was legally blind. She also faced domestic violence, family tensions, and painful personal loss, each challenge strengthening her resilience. One thing that sets Nancy apart is the way she connects with people in interviews. Instead of depending on prewritten notes, she prepares by listening closely and allowing guests’ stories of heartbreak and success to shape the conversation. “I don’t read notes,” she once shared. “The dialogue unfolds naturally, and guests often find it therapeutic.” Today, Nancy’s influence reaches far beyond broadcasting. She hosts The Living Full Out Show, a radio and TV platform reaching millions, and founded Nonprofit MVP, a TV competition that offers exposure and prizes to worthy nonprofits. As a coach and speaker, she encourages people to turn obstacles into opportunities. For Nancy, “Living Full Out” — her life’s mantra (信条) — means trusting in faith, asking for help when necessary, and refusing to let adversity define her story. Her journey teaches us a timeless lesson: Our greatest limitations are often the ones we accept. With purpose and courage, even the darkest challenges can become the foundation of our brightest achievements. 1．Why does the author mention The Oprah Winfrey Show in paragraph 2? A．To introduce the history of broadcasting. B．To show Nancy’s early interest in psychology. C．To identify the source of Nancy’s career dream. D．To compare Nancy’s hosting style with Oprah’s. 2．How does Nancy make her interviews special? A．By using detailed prewritten notes. B．By developing conversations naturally. C．By inviting famous guests to her show. D．By focusing on guests’ success stories. 3．Which of the following can best describe Nancy? A．Determined and influential. B．Humorous and relaxed. C．Quiet and dependent. D．Strict and doubtful. 4．What message does this text mainly convey? A．Media work needs special skills. B．Loss can prevent personal growth. C．Purpose and courage beat hardship. D．Success depends on public support. 词数：291 话题：励志追梦的人生故事 体裁：记叙文 09 Back in 2003, Erica Fernandez was just a kid helping 20 adults take care of the beach. They overheard a plan to build a processing station for natural gas 14 miles off the coast of Oxnard. The plant would send over 200 tons of air pollution per year to Erica’s community. Not only that, the station would take in millions of gallons of seawater per day to cool its generators, and discharge the water more than 15 degrees centigrade hotter than the surrounding ocean. This hot wastewater would cause serious harm to the surrounding ecosystem, killing tiny creatures and small fish critical to the survival of marine mammals and fisheries. Erica cared too much to stay silent. She joined her friends in weekly protests at the office of the natural gas company. Prospects of stopping the project did not look good. The governor was in favor of it, and so were the powerful state commissions that would have to approve it. “The word on the street was that there was nothing we could do.” Behind the scenes, however, opposition was growing, so Erica became the spokesperson for the youth of the town. She regularly walked her neighborhood along the route of the proposed pipeline, using a hula hoop to show people the size of the pipe that would pass by their houses. She talked to the media, and stories about the dangers of the proposed facility began appearing in the press. “We made thousands of phone calls and sent thousands of postcards telling the governor why this facility was a bad idea.” In July 2007, the governor made an unexpected move: He turned down the project. Erica and her friends won! As only the second person in her family to go to college, Erica wants to become an environmental lawyer so she can fight for the environment and for the rights of communities. She wants other young people to speak out when they see something wrong, even if they feel shy about it at first. She likes to quote the words of her role model, César Chávez: “We are the future. The future is ours.” 1．What can be learned about the to-be-built processing station? A．It is well-equipped. B．It is energy-saving. C．It is climate-damaging. D．It is ecologically-unfriendly. 2．Why does the author mention the authorities’ response in paragraph 2? A．To express Erica’s desperate mood. B．To show the great barriers Erica faced. C．To illustrate the power of public voice. D．To stress the support from the government. 3．Which of the following can best describe Erica? A．Determined and responsible. B．Pioneering and curious. C．Adventurous and aggressive. D．Creative and industrious. 4．What message is mainly conveyed through Erica’s story? A．Teamwork leads to success. B．Bravery eventually pays off. C．Speaking out makes a difference. D．Actions speak louder than words. 词数：355 话题：维护环境与正义 体裁：记叙文 10 Oregon forests were the playground of my childhood, and our house there had a wide wraparound porch that started from the front door and finally extended the entire length of the back of the house. That porch — and indeed, almost every porch — was a place to gather and party, a place where neighbors stood as they dropped off dishes, a place where we sat in the soft sun of a spring afternoon and told stories and whispered rumors and made up tales of what lived deeper in the woods. This was, I think, the beginning of my fascination with the front porch. If a house is a place where we learn to create a home, then a front porch is an in-between space, a borderland that lets us keep some things at arm’s length, while inviting other things close, a place that is at once public and private. I remember my grandmother sitting there as she enjoyed the cooling air of a summer evening and talked to my parents, my aunts, my uncles, and all the cousins old enough for ‘adult’ conversation. As neighbors walked by they would pause, they would chat, they would check in with one another. These were not organized events. They were a part of everyday life. However, when did the front porch begin to disappear? When did we retreat inside, each confined to our own spaces, with no care for what was happening outside our front doors? It feels like this change has come about gradually, and been accompanied by challenges like loneliness, and a breakdown of our community ties — and I can’t help but think they must be connected. When I investigate community care and mutual aid, I am surprised by the types of actions that are suggested for those looking to build stronger communities. An incomplete list: get to know your neighbors, socialize with those who live nearby, share childcare duties, teach one another new skills. You see, we’ve always known how to do this work. It is nothing new. Nothing radical. Nothing revolutionary — it can be as simple as stepping out of our doors and sitting on our own front porch. 1．What was the porch like in the author’s childhood memories? A．A family-only reunion spot. B．A quiet corner for reading stories. C．A lively center of social activities. D．An occasion-specific party place. 2．Why does the author mention her grandmother and neighbors in paragraph 3? A．To recall previous porch-events. B．To show porch activities as daily life. C．To highlight the porch’s decline. D．To stress the close family relationship. 3．What led to the disappearance of front porches? A．A link to weaker community ties. B．A reflection of improved lifestyles. C．A result of limited housing space. D．A shift toward indoor entertainment. 4．What message does the passage convey? A．The unavoidable decline of face-to-face interactions. B．The necessity of formal events for neighborhood ties. C．The insignificance of porches in modern community building. D．The power of simple daily acts in fostering community bonds. 词数：363 话题：重建社区联系 体裁：记叙文 2 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！ 10 / 22 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
