专题04 阅读理解（记叙文） Passage 1 （2026·北京东城·二模） I had no idea it was possible to sweat so heavily without engaging in any physical activity. I wasn’t standing at the open door of a plane thousands of feet in the air, ready to jump out into the wild, blue sky. Rather, I was simply sitting on my bed, wearing my most comfortable clothes, and waiting to hit the “Enter classroom” button on my computer. I had signed up for an online language lesson with a Portuguese language tutor. For the past few months, I had been studying the language and I knew video chat was the next best option. As I clicked the button, a friendly face popped up on the screen in front of me. At that moment, my mind froze. Feeling my nervousness, my tutor said something I still remember today, “Learning a new language is like showing your weakness to the world. It can be uncomfortable.” The ice was officially broken. As I’ve progressed along on my language journey, I often think back to her insight. She is right. We take as a given the power to express ourselves freely, and when that power is taken away, we are brought to a place of weakness. Yet if we keep pushing forward despite this weakness, we will unlock a wealth of valuable gains. My three-year-old son has big feelings but has insufficient vocabulary to properly express himself. When I started learning Portuguese, I realized how difficult it must be for him to be understood in the adult world around him. I’m a better parent now. When my husband and I finally visited Portugal and ordered food in Portuguese at a small shop, the server thanked us for taking time to learn their language. Learning Portuguese taught me that attempting to learn someone else’s language shows respect not only for their homeland but for the people themselves. Taking on the challenge of Portuguese has also awakened a fire within me. If you had told me a year ago that I would be taking a writing course, competing in competitions at my gym, or learning about car maintenance, I truly wouldn’t have believed it. Now I deeply believe that challenging yourself can be rewarding in ways you will never know unless you attempt it. 24. What was the author doing in Paragraph 1? A. Working out at home. B. Taking an entrance exam. C. Preparing herself for a class. D. Signing up for a language club. 25. Hearing the tutor’s words, the author felt ________. A. shocked B. defensive C. concerned D. relieved 26. After learning Portuguese, the author ________. A. showed competitive advantages B. started to try Portuguese cuisine C. developed a passion for travelling D. became an understanding mother 27. What can we learn from the passage? A. It is never too late to learn something new. B. Taking on challenges may bring perfection. C. Leaving the comfort zone offers new visions of life. D. Language learning helps clear up misunderstandings. 【答案】24. C 25. D 26. D 27. C 【导语】文章介绍了作者初次线上上葡萄牙语课时十分紧张，在老师开导下逐渐释怀；随后讲述学习葡萄牙语让自己更理解年幼的儿子、懂得尊重他国文化，勇于接受各类新挑战，感悟到走出舒适区、挑战自我会收获意想不到的人生价值。 24. 细节理解题。根据原文第一段“Rather, I was simply sitting on my bed, wearing my most comfortable clothes, and waiting to hit the “Enter classroom” button on my computer.(相反，我只是穿着最舒服的衣服坐在床上，等着点击电脑上的“进入教室”按钮。)” 可知，作者当时正在为线上课程做准备。 25. 推理判断题。根据原文第二段“Feeling my nervousness, my tutor said something I still remember today, “Learning a new language is like showing your weakness to the world. It can be uncomfortable.” The ice was officially broken.(察觉到我的紧张，老师说了一句我至今记忆犹新的话：“学习一门新语言就像向全世界展露自己的弱点，这难免会让人不自在。” 尴尬的氛围就此彻底消散。)” 可知，听完老师的话后作者内心释怀、放松下来。 26. 细节理解题。根据原文第四段“When I started learning Portuguese, I realized how difficult it must be for him to be understood in the adult world around him. I’m a better parent now.(当我开始学习葡萄牙语时，我体会到儿子在成人世界里难以被理解的难处，如今我成了更善解人意的母亲。)” 可知，学习葡萄牙语后，作者变成了一位更懂得体谅孩子的母亲。 27. 推理判断题。根据原文第五段“Learning Portuguese taught me that attempting to learn someone else’s language shows respect not only for their homeland but for the people themselves.(学习葡萄牙语让我明白：主动去学习他人的语言，不仅是对他们祖国的尊重，更是对当地人民本身的尊重。)”及最后一段“Now I deeply believe that challenging yourself can be rewarding in ways you will never know unless you attempt it.(如今我深信，挑战自我所带来的收获，只有亲身尝试才能体会，其价值难以预知。)” 可知，走出舒适区、勇于挑战自我，会带给人全新的人生眼界与收获。 Passage 2 （2026·北京西城·二模） For much of my career, my fellow scientists only saw my “resting science face”, which shows the part of me worrying about conference talks or funding. They didn’t see the side of me that loves funny performances. As a woman and mother, I felt I needed to prove my seriousness, fearing others might view me as too busy with my personal life to excel. My serious face worked. I landed a job at a great university and became a professor. But I felt I had to divide myself in two — the serious scientist in public, the funny person in private. However, the first break in my public persona came in 2024, when I participated in a local live storytelling show. I took a risk and described an embarrassing moment from a trip to Thailand. To my surprise, when people laughed, it felt like a hug rather than shame. The experience encouraged me to experiment with being silly at work. So, when Halloween came around, I delivered a lecture dressed in a pink animal costume. I began kicking off lab meetings by asking my graduate students what brings them joy. And I started the monthly get-togethers with colleagues, using odd outfits to set the mood. To my surprise, adding fun and humour into my work life didn’t make me less effective or credible. Students seemed to find me more approachable. Humour also helped me open up with colleagues, which in turn led others to be more honest and truthful with me. But most importantly, humor has made me stronger. Last winter, my funding from the Environmental Protection Agency was suddenly cancelled due to the government’s science cuts. After the shock and immediate sadness wore off, I turned to my playful side, writing several pieces of satire (讽刺) and letting workmates draw my attention away with discussions about a 1990s music video. That’s not to say I was living in denial. I knew I needed to find new ways to pursue my goals in an increasingly complex funding environment. But making jokes and sharing laughter helped me stay present and reminded me of how much joy I get from my team, whatever the circumstances. Ultimately, I have come to realize that being real at work is not a weakness, but rather a strength. For other scientists, that may mean talking more about hobbies or families. For me, it’s humour. Now, more than ever, it’s time to laugh. 24. The author put on a serious face at first to ________. A. win the respect of her family B. keep her personal life private C. avoid distractions in her research D. appear professional and dedicated 25. How did the author most probably feel after the 2024 show? A. Proud and confident. B. Relieved and lighthearted. C. Surprised and upset. D. Ashamed and embarrassed. 26. How did the author respond to her loss of funding? A. She poured her heart out to her workmates. B. She refused to accept the painful reality. C. She devoted herself to music making. D. She got through it with laughter. 27. What is the take-away message from the story? A. Come out of your shell. B. Please people around you. C. Stay serious to achieve goals. D. Prioritize humour in your life. 【答案】24.D 25.B 26.D 27.A 【导语】文章讲述身为女性科学家与母亲的作者，起初在工作中时刻保持严肃模样，只为展现专业认真的形象，后来她尝试在职场展露风趣幽默的一面，不仅拉近了和师生同事的距离，还凭借乐观心态渡过科研经费被取消的困境，最终领悟在职场做真实的自己是一种优势。 24. 细节理解题。根据原文第一段 “As a woman and mother, I felt I needed to prove my seriousness, fearing others might view me as too busy with my personal life to excel.（作为一名女性和母亲，我觉得自己必须表现得严肃认真，生怕别人认为我因忙于私生活而无法出色完成工作）” 可知，作者起初一脸严肃，是为了让自己看起来专业又专注。 25. 推理判断题。根据原文第二段 “To my surprise, when people laughed, it felt like a hug rather than shame.（令我意外的是，大家开怀大笑时，我感受到的是温暖慰藉，而非羞愧难堪）” 可知，经历 2024 年的演出后，作者内心释然，心情轻松愉悦。 26. 细节理解题。根据原文第四段 “But making jokes and sharing laughter helped me stay present and reminded me of how much joy I get from my team, whatever the circumstances.（但说笑打趣、一同欢笑让我稳住心态，也让我明白无论处境如何，自己都能从团队中收获快乐）” 可知，面对经费中断的打击，作者靠着欢声笑语渡过了难关。 27. 主旨大意题。根据原文最后一段 “Ultimately, I have come to realize that being real at work is not a weakness, but rather a strength.（最终我意识到，在职场中做真实的自己并非软肋，而是一种底气）” 可知，文章传递出要敞开心扉、勇敢展现真实自我的道理。 Passage 3 （2026·北京海淀·二模） For much of my career, my colleagues only saw what I call my “resting science face”. It conveys the part of me that’s driven to spend hours obsessing over a conference talk or stay up all night for a research grant (拨款). They didn’t see the side of me that loves funny TV shows, cracks jokes, and laughs out loud. As a woman and mother, I felt I needed to prove I was serious about the job, in case others view me as too distracted by my personal life. My serious face worked. I landed a job at a great university. But I felt I had to split myself in two — the serious scientist in public, the goofball (搞笑的人) in private. Only later did I realize how much stronger my science, and my relationships, could have been if I’d let both sides show sooner. The first crack in my public persona came when I participated in a local live storytelling show. I described an embarrassing moment from a solo trip to Thailand. To my surprise, when people laughed, it didn’t feel bad or shameful. It felt like a warm hug. This reminded me that I might also experiment with being silly at work, too. So, when the semester began, I delivered a lecture dressed in a funny costume. I began kicking off lab meetings by asking my students what brings them joy or makes them laugh. Surprisingly, I found that injecting fun and humor into my work life didn’t make me less credible. Instead, students seemed to find me more approachable. But perhaps most importantly, humor has helped me be resilient. Last winter, my grant for an environmental project was abruptly terminated. After the shock and immediate grief wore off, I turned to my goofy side, writing satires and making joke T-shirts. That’s not to say I was living in denial. But making jokes and sharing laughter helped me stay present. In the end, I have come to realize that being myself at work is not a weakness, but rather a strength. So that’s why, even as I reimagine my research plans, I’ll be putting on a colorful outfit, calling up some friends, and cracking jokes. Now, more than ever, it’s time to laugh. 24. Why did the author choose to maintain her “resting science face” at first? A. To help her find a job at a great university. B. To hide her self-doubt in scientific research. C. To avoid being distracted by her personal life. D. To show her commitment and professionalism. 25. What inspired the author to show her humorous side at work? A. A trip to another country. B. A lecture at the start of a term. C. A local live show in public. D. A lab meeting with her students. 26. The incident of the author losing her grant shows that ________. A. jokes enabled her to escape from reality B. a playful attitude helped her pull through C. her funny behavior led to the funding cut D. humor was an instant cure for her sorrow 27. What can we learn from this passage? A. Humor is the shock absorber of life. B. Be who you are and the rest will follow. C. A wise man adapts to circumstances. D. Laugh and the world will laugh with you. 【答案】24. D 25. C 26. B 27. B 【导语】作者曾为职场形象刻意保持严肃，一次现场故事分享后开始展露幽默天性，不仅拉近师生距离，还帮自己抗压自愈，最终领悟职场做真我就是自身优势。 24. 细节理解题。根据第一段“As a woman and mother, I felt I needed to prove I was serious about the job, in case others view me as too distracted by my personal life.(作为一名女性和母亲，我觉得自己有必要证明自己对待这份工作的态度是认真的，以免别人认为我过于被个人生活所分心)”可知，作者一开始选择保持她“平静的科学家形象”是为了彰显她的敬业精神和专业素养。 25. 细节理解题。根据第二段“But I felt I had to split myself in two — the serious scientist in public, the goofball (搞笑的人) in private. Only later did I realize how much stronger my science, and my relationships, could have been if I’d let both sides show sooner.(但我总觉得自己不得不人格分裂、两面生活 —— 在公众面前是不苟言笑的科研学者，私下里却是个随性搞笑的人。后来我才意识到，如果我能早点坦然展现真实的两面，我的科研事业和人际关系本可以经营得更加顺遂融洽。)”和第三段“The first crack in my public persona came when I participated in a local live storytelling show.(我的公众形象首次出现裂痕是在我参加当地的一场现场讲故事活动时)”可知，一场在当地举行的现场表演促使这位作者在工作中展现出自己幽默的一面。 26. 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“After the shock and immediate grief wore off, I turned to my goofy side, writing satires and making joke T-shirts. That’s not to say I was living in denial. But making jokes and sharing laughter helped me stay present.(在最初的震惊和悲痛逐渐消退之后，我开始展现自己幽默的一面，创作讽刺作品，制作印有笑话图案的T恤。这并不是说我当时在逃避现实。但通过讲笑话和分享欢笑，帮助我保持了当下的状态)”可知，作者失去资助金的这件事表明，一种轻松幽默的态度帮助她度过了难关。 27. 细节理解题。根据最后一段“In the end, I have come to realize that being myself at work is not a weakness, but rather a strength.(最终，我意识到在工作中保持真实的自我并非是一种弱点，而恰恰是一种优点)”可知，故事告诉我们坚持做真实的自己。 Passage 4 （2026·北京朝阳·二模） A loud banging noise suddenly rang out in the lab I had recently joined as a graduate student, and I realized I was to blame. When placing tubes into a centrifuge, I had failed to make sure they were perfectly balanced. My mistake was clear the second I turned it on. I couldn’t switch it off until the cycle finished, so I stood there, frozen, praying the machine wouldn’t fall off the desk. Having always been a top student, I expected excellence from myself. Any misstep, in my view, was a sign that I might not be cut out for this work. But the lack of a clearly defined curriculum in graduate school meant I did not always know the rules. Suddenly, I was expected to build everything from nothing, trying to steady myself on a rocking boat. As the months went on, the mistakes piled up. When my first attempt at DNA extraction failed, I feared I might never get it right. The fear deepened when a couple more attempts failed. Even though such moments are a normal part of graduate school, I had trouble accepting my errors and moving on. As I kept making mistakes, it felt like all eyes were on me, judging me. The fear grew so strong that I began to pull back and stop trying so hard. I didn’t want to give others evidence of my incompetence. Then, one night I had a dream. That dream showed me something I hadn’t been able to grasp in waking life: I needed to treat myself with the same understanding I would offer a dear friend. If a friend had made a mistake, I would have told them to take it lightly, and even to welcome it as a necessary part of learning. That realization led me to change my reaction after something went wrong. I also started to log my mistakes so I could learn from them. I would note whether there was something I could have done differently. Then I would move on. As I became more comfortable with the idea of making mistakes, I opened up with peers and professors. What I heard from them was striking: Almost all of them had committed mistakes—small or large. The reality is, we are all going to mess up. I now realize that’s OK, even necessary. 24. Which word best describes the author’s lab experience in Paragraph 1? A. Disheartening. B. Time-wasting. C. Misleading. D. Ill-planned. 25. What did the author think of her mistakes before her dream? A. A sign of her lack of effort. B. A shame that needs to be erased. C. A proof of her unfitness for lab work. D. An outcome of being judged by others. 26. How did the dream influence the author? A. She stopped making mistakes in lab work. B. She learned to comfort other error makers. C. She accepted mistakes as essentials in her life. D. She began comparing her mistakes with others’. 27. What can we learn from this passage? A. Mistakes are good reasons to play safe. B. A shift in mind changes the path ahead. C. He who fails to prepare prepares to fail. D. A friend indeed gives the advice you need. 【答案】24.A 25.C 26.C 27.B 【导语】本文讲述作者读研初期在实验室频繁犯错，内心极度自卑焦虑，一场梦境让她心态转变，学会正视、接纳错误，最终明白犯错是成长必经之路。 24. 考查推理判断。根据第一段最后一句：I couldn’t switch it off until the cycle finished, so I stood there, frozen, praying the machine wouldn’t fall off the desk.（我只能原地僵站，满心惶恐不安），能看出这段经历令人沮丧失落。B 浪费时间、C 误导人的、D 计划不周的均不符合，故选 A。 25. 考查细节理解。根据第二段第二句：Any misstep, in my view, was a sign that I might not be cut out for this work.（在我看来，任何失误都证明自己不适合这份工作），对应认为错误是自己不适合实验室工作的佐证，故选 C。 26. 考查细节理解。根据第四段第二、三句：If a friend had made a mistake, I would have told them to take it lightly, and even to welcome it as a necessary part of learning.（她领悟到应把错误当作学习过程中必不可少的部分），从此坦然接纳错误，故选 C。 27. 考查主旨大意。全文核心是作者思想心态发生转变后，对待错误、对待科研的态度与人生状态随之改变，印证心态转变改变前行道路。A 犯错就要求安稳、B 不预则废、C 挚友提良言均偏离主旨，故选 B。 Passage 5 （2026·北京石景山·二模） At 74, Margaret Ellis found herself asking what she should do next to keep both her mind active and her body strong. After retiring from her long career as a literature teacher, she suddenly had more free time than ever before. She could either return to the classroom as a student by taking an art history course, or try an initial training programme in Nordic walking (北欧健走). After thinking it over, she chose the latter. On the first day of the training, Margaret arrived at the park with her new poles under her arm and took her place in the group as if it were part of her usual morning routine. Yet only when the session began did she realise how long it had been since she had last learned something entirely new. Nordic walking was harder than she had expected. It required rhythm, balance, posture, and coordination between the arms and legs. Several times, she lost the pattern and had to start again. But instead of feeling discouraged, she tried to treat the movements like a performance. Years earlier, she had learned folk dance and enjoyed hiking, and those experiences helped her find the needed rhythm. “I listened for the rhythm,” she said, “and then I let my body follow.” Physical activity had always been an important part of Margaret’s life. She had once been a swimmer, a cyclist, and a teacher who enjoyed organising school sports events. But what drew her most strongly to Nordic walking was something personal. Her father had loved long walks and often said, “Walk first. Answers come later.” Whenever life felt confusing, he would go outdoors and return calmer than before. Remembering him, Margaret felt she was not just learning a new sport. She was reconnecting with an old family habit. Although Margaret joined the programme as a student. she soon became an inspiration to the rest of the group. When younger participants complained about tired arms or cold weather, they noticed her quietly adjusting her poles and starting again. 24. How did Margaret probably feel on the first day of the training? A. Relaxed and confident. B. Proud and certain. C. Excited but nervous. D. Surprised but disappointed. 25. What helped Margaret gradually adjust to the training? A. Her previous teaching experience. B. Her strong wish to win others’ respect. C. Her past experience in dance and hiking. D. His habit of exercising alone in the park. 26. What can we learn about Margaret from the passage? A. She depended on the instructor’s help. B. She influenced others by the way she acted. C. She cared more about technique than personal growth. D. She joined the training to reconnect with her family habit. 27. What does the passage mainly tell us? A. Practice makes perfect. B. Health always comes first. C. It is never too late to begin. D. Parents shape who we become. 【答案】24. A 25. C 26. B 27. C 【导语】文章主要讲述了74岁退休教师Margaret学习北欧健走并激励他人的故事。 24. 推理判断题。根据第二段中“Margaret arrived at the park with her new poles under her arm and took her place in the group as if it were part of her usual morning routine.(玛格丽特胳膊下夹着新的杆子来到公园，在小组中找到了自己的位置，仿佛这是她平时早晨例行活动的一部分)”以及第三段“But instead of feeling discouraged, she tried to treat the movements like a performance.(但她没有感到气馁，而是试图把这些动作当作一场表演)”可知，玛格丽特在训练的第一天放松且自信。 25. 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Years earlier, she had learned folk dance and enjoyed hiking, and those experiences helped her find the needed rhythm.(几年前，她学过民间舞蹈，也喜欢徒步旅行，这些经历帮助她找到了所需的节奏)”可知，玛格丽特过去学舞蹈和徒步的经历帮助她逐渐适应了训练。 26. 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“When younger participants complained about tired arms or cold weather, they noticed her quietly adjusting her poles and starting again.(当年轻的参与者抱怨手臂酸痛或天气寒冷时，他们注意到她默默地调整手杖，重新开始)”可知，玛格丽特通过自己的行动而非言语影响了周围的人。 27. 主旨大意题。根据第一段中“At 74, Margaret Ellis found herself asking what she should do next to keep both her mind active and her body strong.(74岁时，Margaret Ellis在思考接下来该做什么来保持思维活跃和身体强壮)”以及全文可知，全文讲述74岁高龄的老人依旧学习新运动、不断突破自我的故事，传达活到老学到老，何时开始都不晚的道理。 Passage 6 （2026·北京顺义·二模） When a player on the opposing team makes a terrible mistake on a big play, the reaction for many sports fans is joy: our team is going to win! But not every sports fan. In a crucial rugby game, with only 90 seconds left, the Eagles scored a touchdown, narrowing the gap with the Wolves to 27-25. They needed another two points to tie the game, which was vital for both teams. Then the ball was passed to Mark, an Eagles player at the goal line. He caught it… and dropped it — he seemed to slip on the snowy field. The whole season did come down to that play. And the Eagles blew it and lost the game. Their season was over. But at least some Wolves fans felt sympathy, even when they celebrated their victory. Mark has diabetes (糖尿病), and two Wolves fans set out to raise money for a charity supporting diabetes research that he has supported. Their language sounds just a little different from the sharp words some football fans like to use when discussing the game. “We just want to spread love; that’s really what we want to do,” they said. They ran a social media account and decided to start a charitable drive. “To be honest, we want our team to win. But we want to bring both bases together and say, ‘Hey, this is more than a game!’ We’ve got complete respect for Mark even though he was playing against us,” they said. Their effort has raised over $146,000 from more than 4,000 donations. At first, donations were mostly from Wolves fans, but as word spread, fans of the Eagles and other rugby teams joined in. Mark was disappointed about the game result but deeply touched. “I’ve seen heartfelt love and encouragement,” he said. The two fans said they remained supportive to the Wolves. But going forward, they added, “We’re definitely going to have a soft spot for the Eagles.” 24. The Eagles lost the game because _______. A. Mark made a costly mistake B. Mark got injured on the field C. the opposing team narrowed the gap D. the opposing team outperformed them 25. What did the two Wolves fans do after the game? A. They encouraged Mark to face the illness bravely. B. They prevented sharp words from spreading. C. They collected money for diabetes research. D. They established a charity organization. 26. Which would best describe the two Wolves fans? A. Generous but cautious. B. Friendly and reserved. C. Ambitious but modest. D. Loyal and caring. 27. What can we learn from the passage? A. Health outweighs wealth. B. Humanity outshines glory. C. Kindness leads to success. D. The weakest goes to the wall. 【答案】24. A 25. C 26. D 27. B 【导语】本文主要讲的是一场关键橄榄球赛中，鹰队球员马克因在结冰场地滑倒失误致球队输掉比赛、赛季终结。不过，部分狼队球迷在庆祝胜利时对马克表示同情，得知他患糖尿病且一直支持相关研究后，两名狼队球迷发起慈善活动为其支持的糖尿病研究机构募捐。 24. 细节理解题。根据第四段“Then the ball was passed to Mark, an Eagles player at the goal line. He caught it… and dropped it — he seemed to slip on the snowy field. The whole season did come down to that play. And the Eagles blew it and lost the game. Their season was over.(随后球被传给了马克，他是位于球门线上的老鹰队球员。他接住了球……然后却把它丢了——他似乎在结冰的场地上滑倒了。整个赛季就因这一次失误而告终。老鹰队犯了错，输掉了比赛。他们的赛季就此结束了。)”可知，老鹰队输掉比赛是因为马克犯了一个严重的错误。 25. 细节理解题。根据第六段“Mark has diabetes (糖尿病), and two Wolves fans set out to raise money for a charity supporting diabetes research that he has supported.(马克患有糖尿病，于是两名狼队球迷决定为一个支持糖尿病研究的慈善机构筹集资金，而他本人也一直支持这项研究。)”可知，比赛结束后，这两名狼队球迷为糖尿病研究筹集了资金。 26. 推理判断题。根据第六段“Mark has diabetes (糖尿病), and two Wolves fans set out to raise money for a charity supporting diabetes research that he has supported.(马克患有糖尿病，于是两名狼队球迷决定为一个支持糖尿病研究的慈善机构筹集资金，而他本人也一直支持这项研究。)”可知，这两名狼队球迷是关心他人的，可以用caring来形容；根据倒数第四段“To be honest, we want our team to win.(老实说，我们希望我们的队伍能够获胜。)”可知，这两名狼队球迷对自己的球队是忠诚的，可以用loyal来形容。 27. 推理判断题。根据第六段“Mark has diabetes (糖尿病), and two Wolves fans set out to raise money for a charity supporting diabetes research that he has supported.(马克患有糖尿病，于是两名狼队球迷决定为一个支持糖尿病研究的慈善机构筹集资金，而他本人也一直支持这项研究。)”和倒数第四段“They ran a social media account and decided to start a charitable drive. “To be honest, we want our team to win.

Passage 2 （2026·北京西城·二模） For much of my career, my fellow scientists only saw my “resting science face”, which shows the part of me worrying about conference talks or funding. They didn’t see the side of me that loves funny performances. As a woman and mother, I felt I needed to prove my seriousness, fearing others might view me as too busy with my personal life to excel. My serious face worked. I landed a job at a great university and became a professor. But I felt I had to divide myself in two — the serious scientist in public, the funny person in private. However, the first break in my public persona came in 2024, when I participated in a local live storytelling show. I took a risk and described an embarrassing moment from a trip to Thailand. To my surprise, when people laughed, it felt like a hug rather than shame. The experience encouraged me to experiment with being silly at work. So, when Halloween came around, I delivered a lecture dressed in a pink animal costume. I began kicking off lab meetings by asking my graduate students what brings them joy. And I started the monthly get-togethers with colleagues, using odd outfits to set the mood. To my surprise, adding fun and humour into my work life didn’t make me less effective or credible. Students seemed to find me more approachable. Humour also helped me open up with colleagues, which in turn led others to be more honest and truthful with me. But most importantly, humor has made me stronger. Last winter, my funding from the Environmental Protection Agency was suddenly cancelled due to the government’s science cuts. After the shock and immediate sadness wore off, I turned to my playful side, writing several pieces of satire (讽刺) and letting workmates draw my attention away with discussions about a 1990s music video. That’s not to say I was living in denial. I knew I needed to find new ways to pursue my goals in an increasingly complex funding environment. But making jokes and sharing laughter helped me stay present and reminded me of how much joy I get from my team, whatever the circumstances. Ultimately, I have come to realize that being real at work is not a weakness, but rather a strength. For other scientists, that may mean talking more about hobbies or families. For me, it’s humour. Now, more than ever, it’s time to laugh. 24. The author put on a serious face at first to ________. A. win the respect of her family B. keep her personal life private C. avoid distractions in her research D. appear professional and dedicated 25. How did the author most probably feel after the 2024 show? A. Proud and confident. B. Relieved and lighthearted. C. Surprised and upset. D. Ashamed and embarrassed. 26. How did the author respond to her loss of funding? A. She poured her heart out to her workmates. B. She refused to accept the painful reality. C. She devoted herself to music making. D. She got through it with laughter. 27. What is the take-away message from the story? A. Come out of your shell. B. Please people around you. C. Stay serious to achieve goals. D. Prioritize humour in your life. Passage 3 （2026·北京海淀·二模） For much of my career, my colleagues only saw what I call my “resting science face”. It conveys the part of me that’s driven to spend hours obsessing over a conference talk or stay up all night for a research grant (拨款). They didn’t see the side of me that loves funny TV shows, cracks jokes, and laughs out loud. As a woman and mother, I felt I needed to prove I was serious about the job, in case others view me as too distracted by my personal life. My serious face worked. I landed a job at a great university. But I felt I had to split myself in two — the serious scientist in public, the goofball (搞笑的人) in private. Only later did I realize how much stronger my science, and my relationships, could have been if I’d let both sides show sooner. The first crack in my public persona came when I participated in a local live storytelling show. I described an embarrassing moment from a solo trip to Thailand. To my surprise, when people laughed, it didn’t feel bad or shameful. It felt like a warm hug. This reminded me that I might also experiment with being silly at work, too. So, when the semester began, I delivered a lecture dressed in a funny costume. I began kicking off lab meetings by asking my students what brings them joy or makes them laugh. Surprisingly, I found that injecting fun and humor into my work life didn’t make me less credible. Instead, students seemed to find me more approachable. But perhaps most importantly, humor has helped me be resilient. Last winter, my grant for an environmental project was abruptly terminated. After the shock and immediate grief wore off, I turned to my goofy side, writing satires and making joke T-shirts. That’s not to say I was living in denial. But making jokes and sharing laughter helped me stay present. In the end, I have come to realize that being myself at work is not a weakness, but rather a strength. So that’s why, even as I reimagine my research plans, I’ll be putting on a colorful outfit, calling up some friends, and cracking jokes. Now, more than ever, it’s time to laugh. 24. Why did the author choose to maintain her “resting science face” at first? A. To help her find a job at a great university. B. To hide her self-doubt in scientific research. C. To avoid being distracted by her personal life. D. To show her commitment and professionalism. 25. What inspired the author to show her humorous side at work? A. A trip to another country. B. A lecture at the start of a term. C. A local live show in public. D. A lab meeting with her students. 26. The incident of the author losing her grant shows that ________. A. jokes enabled her to escape from reality B. a playful attitude helped her pull through C. her funny behavior led to the funding cut D. humor was an instant cure for her sorrow 27. What can we learn from this passage? A. Humor is the shock absorber of life. B. Be who you are and the rest will follow. C. A wise man adapts to circumstances. D. Laugh and the world will laugh with you. Passage 4 （2026·北京朝阳·二模） A loud banging noise suddenly rang out in the lab I had recently joined as a graduate student, and I realized I was to blame. When placing tubes into a centrifuge, I had failed to make sure they were perfectly balanced. My mistake was clear the second I turned it on. I couldn’t switch it off until the cycle finished, so I stood there, frozen, praying the machine wouldn’t fall off the desk. Having always been a top student, I expected excellence from myself. Any misstep, in my view, was a sign that I might not be cut out for this work. But the lack of a clearly defined curriculum in graduate school meant I did not always know the rules. Suddenly, I was expected to build everything from nothing, trying to steady myself on a rocking boat. As the months went on, the mistakes piled up. When my first attempt at DNA extraction failed, I feared I might never get it right. The fear deepened when a couple more attempts failed. Even though such moments are a normal part of graduate school, I had trouble accepting my errors and moving on. As I kept making mistakes, it felt like all eyes were on me, judging me. The fear grew so strong that I began to pull back and stop trying so hard. I didn’t want to give others evidence of my incompetence. Then, one night I had a dream. That dream showed me something I hadn’t been able to grasp in waking life: I needed to treat myself with the same understanding I would offer a dear friend. If a friend had made a mistake, I would have told them to take it lightly, and even to welcome it as a necessary part of learning. That realization led me to change my reaction after something went wrong. I also started to log my mistakes so I could learn from them. I would note whether there was something I could have done differently. Then I would move on. As I became more comfortable with the idea of making mistakes, I opened up with peers and professors. What I heard from them was striking: Almost all of them had committed mistakes—small or large. The reality is, we are all going to mess up. I now realize that’s OK, even necessary. 24. Which word best describes the author’s lab experience in Paragraph 1? A. Disheartening. B. Time-wasting. C. Misleading. D. Ill-planned. 25. What did the author think of her mistakes before her dream? A. A sign of her lack of effort. B. A shame that needs to be erased. C. A proof of her unfitness for lab work. D. An outcome of being judged by others. 26. How did the dream influence the author? A. She stopped making mistakes in lab work. B. She learned to comfort other error makers. C. She accepted mistakes as essentials in her life. D. She began comparing her mistakes with others’. 27. What can we learn from this passage? A. Mistakes are good reasons to play safe. B. A shift in mind changes the path ahead. C. He who fails to prepare prepares to fail. D. A friend indeed gives the advice you need. Passage 5 （2026·北京石景山·二模） At 74, Margaret Ellis found herself asking what she should do next to keep both her mind active and her body strong. After retiring from her long career as a literature teacher, she suddenly had more free time than ever before. She could either return to the classroom as a student by taking an art history course, or try an initial training programme in Nordic walking (北欧健走). After thinking it over, she chose the latter. On the first day of the training, Margaret arrived at the park with her new poles under her arm and took her place in the group as if it were part of her usual morning routine. Yet only when the session began did she realise how long it had been since she had last learned something entirely new. Nordic walking was harder than she had expected. It required rhythm, balance, posture, and coordination between the arms and legs. Several times, she lost the pattern and had to start again. But instead of feeling discouraged, she tried to treat the movements like a performance. Years earlier, she had learned folk dance and enjoyed hiking, and those experiences helped her find the needed rhythm. “I listened for the rhythm,” she said, “and then I let my body follow.” Physical activity had always been an important part of Margaret’s life. She had once been a swimmer, a cyclist, and a teacher who enjoyed organising school sports events. But what drew her most strongly to Nordic walking was something personal. Her father had loved long walks and often said, “Walk first. Answers come later.” Whenever life felt confusing, he would go outdoors and return calmer than before. Remembering him, Margaret felt she was not just learning a new sport. She was reconnecting with an old family habit. Although Margaret joined the programme as a student. she soon became an inspiration to the rest of the group. When younger participants complained about tired arms or cold weather, they noticed her quietly adjusting her poles and starting again. 24. How did Margaret probably feel on the first day of the training? A. Relaxed and confident. B. Proud and certain. C. Excited but nervous. D. Surprised but disappointed. 25. What helped Margaret gradually adjust to the training? A. Her previous teaching experience. B. Her strong wish to win others’ respect. C. Her past experience in dance and hiking. D. His habit of exercising alone in the park. 26. What can we learn about Margaret from the passage? A. She depended on the instructor’s help. B. She influenced others by the way she acted. C. She cared more about technique than personal growth. D. She joined the training to reconnect with her family habit. 27. What does the passage mainly tell us? A. Practice makes perfect. B. Health always comes first. C. It is never too late to begin. D. Parents shape who we become. Passage 6 （2026·北京顺义·二模） When a player on the opposing team makes a terrible mistake on a big play, the reaction for many sports fans is joy: our team is going to win! But not every sports fan. In a crucial rugby game, with only 90 seconds left, the Eagles scored a touchdown, narrowing the gap with the Wolves to 27-25. They needed another two points to tie the game, which was vital for both teams. Then the ball was passed to Mark, an Eagles player at the goal line. He caught it… and dropped it — he seemed to slip on the snowy field. The whole season did come down to that play. And the Eagles blew it and lost the game. Their season was over. But at least some Wolves fans felt sympathy, even when they celebrated their victory. Mark has diabetes (糖尿病), and two Wolves fans set out to raise money for a charity supporting diabetes research that he has supported. Their language sounds just a little different from the sharp words some football fans like to use when discussing the game. “We just want to spread love; that’s really what we want to do,” they said. They ran a social media account and decided to start a charitable drive. “To be honest, we want our team to win. But we want to bring both bases together and say, ‘Hey, this is more than a game!’ We’ve got complete respect for Mark even though he was playing against us,” they said. Their effort has raised over $146,000 from more than 4,000 donations. At first, donations were mostly from Wolves fans, but as word spread, fans of the Eagles and other rugby teams joined in. Mark was disappointed about the game result but deeply touched. “I’ve seen heartfelt love and encouragement,” he said. The two fans said they remained supportive to the Wolves. But going forward, they added, “We’re definitely going to have a soft spot for the Eagles.” 24. The Eagles lost the game because _______. A. Mark made a costly mistake B. Mark got injured on the field C. the opposing team narrowed the gap D. the opposing team outperformed them 25. What did the two Wolves fans do after the game? A. They encouraged Mark to face the illness bravely. B. They prevented sharp words from spreading. C. They collected money for diabetes research. D. They established a charity organization. 26. Which would best describe the two Wolves fans? A. Generous but cautious. B. Friendly and reserved. C. Ambitious but modest. D. Loyal and caring. 27. What can we learn from the passage? A. Health outweighs wealth. B. Humanity outshines glory. C. Kindness leads to success. D. The weakest goes to the wall. 1 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
