专题02 阅读理解 记叙文+议论文 主题01 人与社会 Passage 1 （24-25学年高一下·山东枣庄·期末） 81-year-old Australian blood donor, James Harrison, known as the “Man with the Golden Arm,” has retired after saving the lives of 2.4 million babies over the course of more than half a century. When Harrison was 14, he got sick and had to have one of his lungs removed. The process involved a three-month hospital stay, and nearly two gallons of donated blood. It inspired him to donate his own later—despite his fear to needles. In 1954, as soon as he hit the legal age of 18, Harrison started giving blood and plasma. Harrison’s blood contains an extremely rare antibody, which doctors believe has to do with the blood he received earlier. Once Harrison learned he possessed anti-D, he was happy to continue to donate in order to help as many people as possible. Harrison donated blood and plasma 1,173 times, every two weeks between 1954 and 2018. All but 10 were from his right arm. “He was committed to a lifetime of giving and he captured the hearts of many people around the world,” Lifeblood CEO Stephen Cornelissen said in a statement. He “never missed a single appointment,” the agency said, and “expected nothing in return”. Blood donors are not compensated (补偿) financially under Australian law. Harrison officially retired at age 81, the maximum age for blood donations under Australian law. He made his last donation in May 2018, surrounded by half a dozen grateful mothers holding babies who benefited from the anti-D program. In fact, Harrison was reluctant to retire, telling the Sydney Morning Herald that “I’d keep on going if they let me.” But he is pleased to know that Australia has about 200 anti-D donors who help around 45,000 mothers and babies annually, according to Lifeblood. He believes they are dedicated to the cause. 1. Why did Harrison decide to donate blood himself? A. He reached legal age for donation. B. He benefited from it as a patient. C. His blood contains a rare antibody. D. He wanted to make a new record. 2. What can we learn about Harrison from Stephen’s words? A. He is selfless. B. He is honest. C. He is brave. D. He is grateful. 3. How did Harrison feel about his retirement? A. Indifferent. B. Delighted. C. Unwilling. D. Satisfied. 4. What does Harrison’s story show? A. Giving is living. B. Hard work pays off. C. Live and learn. D. No pains, no gains. 【答案】1. B 2. A 3. C 4. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲的是81岁的澳大利亚献血者詹姆斯·哈里森的献血历程、奉献精神、退休情况，以及他对后续抗D献血者的期望和信念。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The process involved a three-month hospital stay, and nearly two gallons of donated blood. It inspired him to donate his own later—despite his fear to needles. In 1954, as soon as he hit the legal age of 18, Harrison started giving blood and plasma.(整个过程包括三个月的住院治疗，以及近两加仑的献血。这激发了他后来捐出自己的——尽管他害怕针头。1954年，当哈里森达到法定年龄18岁时，他就开始献血和献血)”可知，哈里森决定自己献血是因为作为病人，他从中受益。故选B。 【2题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“He was committed to a lifetime of giving and he captured the hearts of many people around the world(他一生都致力于奉献，他俘获了世界上许多人的心)”和“He “never missed a single appointment,” the agency said, and “expected nothing in return”.(该机构表示，他“从未错过一次预约”，而且“从不求任何回报”)”可知，从斯蒂芬的话中我们可以了解到哈里森是无私的。故选A。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“In fact, Harrison was reluctant to retire, telling the Sydney Morning Herald that “I’d keep on going if they let me.”(事实上，哈里森并不愿意退休，他告诉《悉尼先驱晨报》说：“如果他们允许，我会继续献下去。”)”可知，哈里森不愿意退休。故选C。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“81-year-old Australian blood donor, James Harrison, known as the “Man with the Golden Arm,” has retired after saving the lives of 2.4 million babies over the course of more than half a century.(现年81岁的澳大利亚献血者James Harrison被誉为“金臂人”，他在半个多世纪的时间里拯救了240万名婴儿的生命，现已光荣退休)”可知，哈里森终生致力于捐献血液和血浆，拯救了数百万婴儿的生命，这彰显了给予与帮助他人所产生的深远影响，表明了“施予即生命”。故选A。 Passage 2 （24-25学年高一下·山东日照·期末） While most libraries have added movies, computers and even toys, a library in New York City has taken it one step further and made room for a few new accessories (配件) at its Riverside branch. Michelle Lee, a young adult librarian, came up with the idea to offer library goers interview accessories such as ties, purses, and briefcases for those who can’t afford to buy them. The idea came to her in 2016 when she gave a talk to high school students about resumes and job seeking. After explaining to the teens that they would be expected to come in business clothes and that backpacks were off-limits, several participants said that they didn’t have nice things to use. She quickly put one and one together and realized that the Riverside library branch—which was filled with about 200 students every day—could be part of the solution by lending out the much-needed interview supplies. Many of the students used the computers to write their resumes and search for jobs, so it would be a convenient place to offer that type of service. With the idea at hand, Lee submitted (提交) a plan to Innovation Project, which enabled library staff to find solutions to problems that they encounter at the library. Her submission won; and she used the funding from the Charles H. Revson Foundation to buy 12 handbags and briefcases. Ties and pocket squares were donated, in part by an employee at Bloomingdale’s. The first accessories were put out at the library in August 2018. People could borrow them for up to three weeks at a time for job interviews, proms, or any other event that requires dressing up. Many people have used the service, including Panarat Imcharoen, a Thailand-native who took out a Kenneth Cole purse for carrying interview necessities because she couldn’t afford a bag large enough to carry them in. “I was surprised, I didn’t know before you could borrow men’s and women’s bags,” Imcharoen said. “That’s a good idea if someone needs it.” 1. What makes the Riverside library branch special? A. Providing books for the needy. B. Having a large collection of movies. C. Lending out interview supplies. D. Offering Job opportunities to people. 2. Why did Michelle Lee choose the Riverside library branch for her idea? A. It was well managed. B. It was conveniently situated. C. It was equipped with computers. D. It was frequented by students. 3. What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A. The effort Lee made for her goal. B. The challenges Lee faced in her work. C. The items Lee-collected for her library. D. The support Lee got from the public. 4. How does Panarat Imcharoen sound when talking about the library’s service? A. Doubtful. B. Astonished. C. Appreciative. D. Humorous. 【答案】1. C 2. D 3. A 4. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述纽约市河滨图书馆分馆别具一格，青年图书管理员米歇尔・李为无力购买者提供领带、手提包等面试配件，该想法源于学生需求，获资金与捐赠支持，方便了有需要的人，广受认可。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Michelle Lee, a young adult librarian, came up with the idea to offer library goers interview accessories such as ties, purses, and briefcases for those who can’t afford to buy them.(青年图书管理员米歇尔・李想出了一个主意，为那些买不起面试用品的图书馆读者提供领带、手提包和公文包等面试配件)”可知，该图书馆的特别之处在于出借面试用品。故选C项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“She quickly put one and one together and realized that the Riverside library branch—which was filled with about 200 students every day—could be part of the solution by lending out the much-needed interview supplies.(她很快意识到，每天有大约200名学生光顾的河滨图书馆分馆，可以通过出借急需的面试用品来参与解决这个问题)”可知，李选择该分馆是因为学生经常光顾。故选D项。 【3题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段“With the idea at hand, Lee submitted (提交) a plan to Innovation Project, which enabled library staff to find solutions to problems that they encounter at the library. Her submission won; and she used the funding from the Charles H. Revson Foundation to buy 12 handbags and briefcases. Ties and pocket squares were donated, in part by an employee at Bloomingdale’s.(有了这个想法，李向创新项目提交了一份计划，该项目使图书馆工作人员能够找到解决他们在图书馆遇到的问题的方法。她的申请获得了通过；她用查尔斯・H・雷夫森基金会的资金购买了12个手提包和公文包。领带和口袋巾有一部分是由布鲁明戴尔百货公司的一名员工捐赠的)”可知，该段主要讲述李为实现目标所做的努力。故选A项。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“Many people have used the service, including Panarat Imcharoen, a Thailand-native who took out a Kenneth Cole purse for carrying interview necessities because she couldn’t afford a bag large enough to carry them in. “I was surprised, I didn’t know before you could borrow men’s and women’s bags,” Imcharoen said. “That’s a good idea if someone needs it. ”(很多人都使用过这项服务，其中包括来自泰国的帕纳拉特・因查伦。她借了一个肯尼思・科尔品牌的手提包来装面试必需品，因为她买不起一个足够大的包来装这些东西。“我很惊讶，以前不知道还能借男女款的包，”因查伦说，“如果有人需要的话，这是个好主意。”)”可知，她对图书馆的服务持赞赏态度。故选C项。 Passage 3 （24-25学年高一下·山东菏泽·期末） Wang Shuai did not consider himself a competitive person. Although he thought everyone deserved a prize for participating, he excelled on the television cooking show, reaching the final. Wang said that before going on Top Chef (厨师), he had felt very stuck. He believed he had reached his peak. However, being in competition mode and learning from other chefs inspired his creativity. Born in Beijing, Wang immigrated to the United States at nine, where his mom took over the cooking. He calls her the “Top Chef”. However, he didn’t find his own love of cooking until high school. “I had to take a cooking class in my last two years to make up credits for all the classes that I ‘accidentally missed,” he laughs. Wang Shuai and his wife Corrie Wang opened their restaurant, King BBQ. The Wangs call their menu “Chinatown BBQ made in southern American food style,” full of personal touches. “I cook from nostalgia — my fondest memory of growing up in New York,” he says, “my parents taking me to Flushing on the weekends, or late nights after work, going down to Chinatown.” His first dish for the cooking show, smoked duck on top of noodles with Chinese cabbage, rings that bell. The next dish he cooks, chili tofu, is done in a Chinese-Italian style, with soft tofu, a sweet, spicy, chili sauce, and local pork, topped with cheese. “I get crazy ideas,” Wang Shuai admits. “I have a million and one crazy ideas. Sometimes they work, sometimes they don’t.” “I really just want to embrace (接纳) myself and my culture and cook Chinese food,” he says. After the show, Wang is taking all his crazy ideas, a renewed spirit of adventure and creativity into the future. “I realized oh, I didn’t peak,” he says. “Chinese food has a long history. I’ve explored very little of it.” Wang Shuai is determined to continue his exploration in Chinese cooking. 1. What did Wang Shuai get from the Top Chef show? A. Puzzlement in competition. B. Improvement in cooking. C. Top prize for his performance. D. An opportunity to show talent. 2. What probably led to Wang’s love for cooking? A. His moving to the US. B. His absence from class. C. A cooking class in high school. D. Encouragement from his mother. 3. What does the underlined phrase “rings that bell” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Gets first good taste. B. Runs Chinatown BBQ. C. Presents American food styles. D. Brings back good memories. 4. What does Wang’s story show? A. Do as the Romans do. B. Practice makes perfect. C. Success lies in confidence. D. Trees in rich soil grow better. 【答案】1. B 2. C 3. D 4. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了王帅本非好胜之人，参加电视烹饪秀进入决赛，激发了创造力。他在美开烧烤店，菜品融合中西，赛后决心继续探索中国烹饪。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Wang said that before going on Top Chef (厨师), he had felt very stuck. He believed he had reached his peak. However, being in competition mode and learning from other chefs inspired his creativity.(王说，在参加《顶级厨师》节目之前，他一直感到自己停滞不前。他觉得自己已经达到了巅峰状态。但进入竞争状态并从其他厨师身上学习，激发了他的创造力)”可知，王帅从《顶级厨师》节目中得到了烹饪技能的提升。故选B。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“However, he didn’t find his own love of cooking until high school. “I had to take a cooking class in my last two years to make up credits for all the classes that I ‘accidentally missed,” he laughs.(然而，直到高中时期他才真正爱上了烹饪。“在最后两年里，我不得不参加烹饪课程，以补上所有‘意外’漏掉的课程所对应的学分，”他笑着说)”可知，导致王热爱烹饪的原因可能是高中的烹饪课程。故选C。 【3题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词上文““I cook from nostalgia — my fondest memory of growing up in New York,” he says, “my parents taking me to Flushing on the weekends, or late nights after work, going down to Chinatown.”(“我烹饪是出于怀旧之情——这是我对在纽约成长岁月最美好的回忆，”他说道，“父母会在周末带我去法拉盛，或者下班后我们会熬夜前往唐人街。”)”可知，王帅的烹饪出于怀旧之情，所以他的菜让人回想起美好的回忆。故划线词意思是“让人回想起美好的回忆”。故选D。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章内容可知，在多元环境中（从北京到美国，接触中西饮食文化、参与烹饪比赛、与其他厨师交流）获得灵感，其菜品融合个人回忆与多元风格，最终突破自我。这如同树木在肥沃土壤中茁壮成长，强调了良好环境和多元经历对个人成长与发展的重要性，故，王的故事说明了“沃土育良木”的道理。故选D。 Passage 4 （24-25学年高一下·山东济南·期末） In Tallahassee, Florida, there’s a high school science teacher named Yennifer Castillo, who reshapes not just classrooms but college students’ future. For Castillo, teaching is to make a dream come true. She devotes herself to decorating her classroom each summer, inspired by the teachers she had when growing up. She documents her beautifully handmade classroom decorations based on favorite childhood shows and movies such as Lilo & Stitch and posts videos on social media, making herself a hit. She believes in the power of applying social media to inspiring others. However, it is far from easy. She says it typically takes the entire summer to prepare, and she spends between $300 and $400 each school year. But it’s totally worth it, as she adds, to make her students welcome and comfortable and know someone takes the time to invite them in. Castillo is also making a lasting impact beyond her school walls, with her masterpiece Annual College Essentials Basket Giveaway. Since 2018, she has collected and donated baskets filled with necessities like sheets, comforters, and school supplies to first-year college students. “I started this giveaway because I know firsthand how tough it can be to start college without the basics.” Castillo says, drawing from her own story. Her mission is clear: to reduce financial burdens and remind them they’re never alone. This year, she’s invited the world to join her through a GoFundMe campaign, expanding the ripple (连锁反应) of kindness. As Castillo puts it, “It doesn’t matter how far you go in life. You can always give back to your community. If everyone does just one act of kindness, the world will be a better place.” 1. What makes Castillo popular on social media? A. Making donations to students. B. Posting comments on movies. C. Sharing her decoration videos. D. Displaying her growth stories. 2. What does Castillo think of her decorations in the classroom? A.

Still waters run deep. B. No act of kindness is ever wasted. C. Wealth makes charity. D. No way is impossible to courage. 【答案】1. C 2. D 3. C 4. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了佛罗里达州的高中科学老师Yennifer Castillo通过装饰教室和举办年度大学必需品篮子捐赠活动来激励学生并回馈社区的故事。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“She documents her beautifully handmade classroom decorations based on favorite childhood shows and movies such as Lilo & Stitch and posts videos on social media, making herself a hit.(她根据自己童年时期喜欢的节目和电影，如《星际宝贝》，记录下自己精心手工制作的教室装饰，并将视频发布到社交媒体上，使自己大受欢迎)”可知，她在社交媒体上分享自己的装饰视频使她受欢迎。故选C。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“She says it typically takes the entire summer to prepare, and she spends between $300 and $400 each school year. But it’s totally worth it, as she adds, to make her students welcome and comfortable and know someone takes the time to invite them in.(她说通常要花整个夏天来准备，每个学年她要花300到400美元。但这是完全值得的，她补充说，这样做是为了让她的学生感到受欢迎和舒适，并让他们知道有人愿意花时间邀请他们进来)”可知，Castillo认为装饰教室耗时但值得。故选D。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Since 2018, she has collected and donated baskets filled with necessities like sheets, comforters, and school supplies to first-year college students. “I started this giveaway because I know firsthand how tough it can be to start college without the basics.” Castillo says, drawing from her own story.(自2018年以来，她一直在收集并向大学新生捐赠装满床单、被子和学校用品等必需品的篮子。“我发起这个捐赠活动是因为我亲身体会到没有基本生活用品上大学有多艰难。”Castillo以自己的经历为例说道)”可知，她发起这个活动是为了帮助有需要的大一新生。故选C。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“As Castillo puts it, “It doesn’t matter how far you go in life. You can always give back to your community. If everyone does just one act of kindness, the world will be a better place.(正如Castillo所说：“人生无论走多远，你都可以回馈社区。如果每个人都做一件善事，世界将会变得更美好。”)”可知，我们可以从Castillo身上学到“善举从不白费”的道理。故选B。 Passage 5 （24-25学年高一下·山东青岛·期末） After 25 years, of professional experience, Brandi Fields thought she wouldn’t get back to campus again — until her son Kyle’s transformation at Texas Christian University (TCU) made her see education in a new light.

For her to be doing it in her own cap and gown (长袍) from the floor of Ed and Rae Schollmaier Arena will make that a unique memory she’ll value forever. (关于本周的春季毕业典礼，布兰迪表示，她还不确定自己届时会有何反应，但她知道，当她看着儿子走上舞台时，自己肯定会热泪盈眶。而她自己也将身着学位帽和长袍，站在埃德和雷·朔尔迈尔体育馆的地板上为儿子欢呼，这将成为她珍视一生的独特回忆。)”可知，文章讲述了布兰迪和儿子凯尔一起在大学学习并同时获得研究生学位，期间母子关系更加紧密的故事，体现了“一起学习，关系更紧密”的主题。B选项“Learning together, bonding stronger (一起学习，关系更紧密)”符合题意。故选B。 Passage 2 （24-25学年高一下·山东潍坊·期末） Our 12-year-old television broke down. Its slow death began with a warning that flashed across the screen one night: This function is not available now. I tried cleaning the remote control, restarting the TV and updating the system. Nothing worked. I thought about getting a new TV, but we didn’t have the money to replace it. I spent hours online researching and concluded the motherboard (主板) was near the end of its life. Motherboard. The word held significance. I heard it as two words: mother bored. With my younger son, Henry, away at college, my role as a mom had taken a big turn. I was still trying to get used to this change. I was, honestly, a little bored. I had just thought about watching Henry’s favorite TV show Jeopardy after dinner to kill time, but now the annoying warning ruined my relaxation. I wished the TV would fix itself, but the warning came more often as the week went on. Disappointed, I decided to settle down with a book instead. I searched my bookshelf and found a historical novel that I’d been given as a gift a few years ago but never read. The first few nights, I was restless. I fought the desire to pick up my phone and research new TVs or check social media. But once I got lost in the book, everything changed. A new level of relaxation opened, and a deep sense of peace filled my day and even my night’s sleep. We moved the broken TV out of the living room. Now when I think about that annoying warning, I feel thankful. I realize that blessings sometimes enter our lives disguised as problems, and the answer isn’t always getting something new but rediscovering gifts we already have. 1. Which part of the TV was broken? A. System. B. Screen. C. Motherboard. D. Remote control. 2. Why did the author hear “motherboard” as “mother bored”? A. She was annoyed at the warning. B. She felt empty with her son’s absence. C. She adapted to the role of being a mom. D. She found watching Jeopardy a waste of time. 3. What did the author turn to finally? A. Her phone. B. A book. C. New TVs. D. Social media. 4. What does the author’s experience show? A. Knowledge is power. B. All roads lead to Rome. C. It is never too old to learn. D. Good can come out of bad. 【答案】1. C 2. B 3. B 4. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者的12年旧电视因主板故障报废，儿子上大学后她感空虚，后通过读书找到宁静，感悟福祸相依。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“I spent hours online researching and concluded the motherboard (主板) was near the end of its life.(我花了几个小时在网上研究，得出结论：主板即将报废。)”可知，电视的主板坏了。故选C项。 【2题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“With my younger son, Henry, away at college, my role as a mom had taken a big turn. I was still trying to get used to this change. I was, honestly, a little bored.(我的小儿子亨利去上大学了，我作为母亲的角色发生了很大的转变。我还在努力适应这种变化。说实话，我有点无聊。)”可知，作者因儿子不在身边感到空虚，所以将“motherboard”听成“mother bored”。故选B项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Disappointed, I decided to settle down with a book instead. I searched my bookshelf and found a historical novel that I’d been given as a gift a few years ago but never read.(失望的是，我决定用一本书来安顿下来。我翻遍书架，找到了一本几年前作为礼物送给我但从未读过的历史小说。)”及第五段“But once I got lost in the book, everything changed.(但一旦我沉浸在书中，一切都变了。)”可知，作者最后转向了一本书。故选B项。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“I realize that blessings sometimes enter our lives disguised as problems, and the answer isn’t always getting something new but rediscovering gifts we already have.(我意识到，福气有时会以问题的形式进入我们的生活，答案并不总是得到新的东西，而是重新发现我们已经拥有的礼物。)”可知，作者的经历表明坏事中可能蕴含着好事。所以D项Good can come out of bad.(坏事可以变成好事。) 符合此意。故选D项。 Passage 3 （24-25学年高一下·山东聊城·期末） Things haven’t always come easy for Karla Vega Cervantes. Having graduated from high school at the height of the COVID-19 outbreak, Karla began her Berkeley journey in 2020 and, like many of her fellow first-year students, struggled with adapting to college life. Her school term started online, and while she successfully handled her virtual academic (学业的) experience, the change to fully in-person classes presented new challenges. “I felt really lonely and isolated on campus,” Karla said. That’s when Karla began seeking resources to find her community. She began attending events, and through them, she found the Educational Opportunity Program (EOP) and the Undocumented Student Program (USP). Karla credits these support systems with helping her through some of her toughest times at Berkeley. A highlight for Karla has been attending yield events (招生吸引活动) — the part of the college admissions process where students have received their acceptance and are deciding whether or not to attend. “Going to yield in the spring of my junior year is when I really felt that sense of belonging,” she said. And despite the challenging experience at the beginning of her college journey, Karla is set to graduate in May, 2025 with a bachelor’s degree in chemical engineering. As she looks to the future, she is considering studying for a master’s degree and applying her chemical engineering background to the cosmetic (化妆品) industry, where she can explore creating products that are gentle on dyed hair, which she admits is one of her favorite hobbies. “My advice to new students is to think not only about your academics but also your support systems on campus. Don’t be scared to reach out, go to events, or build a community. Find those spaces where you feel like you belong. That’s how I found my sense of belonging at Berkeley,” Karla said. 1. Why did Karla join different events at first? A. To feel part of the community. B. To explore career opportunities. C. To improve academic performance. D. To gain recognition from classmates. 2. What does Karla’s future career plan reflect about her? A. She values financial success. B. She ignores academic qualifications. C. She combines passion with profession. D. She stays content with her current situation. 3. What can be learned from Karla’s story? A. Great minds think alike. B. Be good, or you will be lonely. C. Self-belief is the key to success. D. God helps those who help themselves. 【答案】1. A 2. C 3. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Karla在2020年进入伯克利，初期难适应校园生活，后通过参加活动找到支持系统，将于2025年毕业，计划读研并将专业与爱好结合，还为新生提建议。 【1题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段““I felt really lonely and isolated on campus,” Karla said. That’s when Karla began seeking resources to find her community. She began attending events, and through them, she found the Educational Opportunity Program (EOP) and the Undocumented Student Program (USP).(“我在校园里感到非常孤独和孤立。”卡拉说道。就在那时，卡拉开始寻找资源，以寻找她的社区。她开始参加各种活动，并通过这些活动，她找到了“教育机会项目”（EOP）和“无证学生项目”（USP）)”可知，卡拉最初参加各种活动是为了感受到自己是这个社区的一员。故选A。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“As she looks to the future, she is considering studying for a master’s degree and applying her chemical engineering background to the cosmetic (化妆品) industry, where she can explore creating products that are gentle on dyed hair, which she admits is one of her favorite hobbies.(当她展望未来时，她正在考虑攻读硕士学位，并将自己在化学工程方面的知识应用到化妆品行业。在那里，她可以尝试研发对染过色头发友好的产品，而她也承认这是她最喜欢的一项爱好)”可知，卡拉的未来职业规划体现了她将热情与职业相结合。故选C。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段““My advice to new students is to think not only about your academics but also your support systems on campus. Don’t be scared to reach out, go to events, or build a community. Find those spaces where you feel like you belong. That’s how I found my sense of belonging at Berkeley,” Karla said.(卡拉说：“我给新生的建议是，不仅要关注学业，还要考虑校园内的支持体系。不要害怕主动联系他人、参加活动或者建立自己的社交圈。找到那些让你有归属感的空间。正是这样，我才在伯克利找到了自己的归属感。”)”以及文章讲述了Karla面临适应困难时，主动参加活动、寻找支持系统，最终找到归属感并顺利毕业，体现了“自助者天助”，故选D。 Passage 4 （24-25学年高一下·山东德州·期末） I often reflect on my father’s influence through his crossword puzzles (字谜游戏). Appa, my father, once sadly mentioned wishing he had put money to buy homes for his children. Yet when he passed away, he left me a box of worn but functional yellow pencils, tools he used daily to solve crosswords. They gave me insight into his quiet dedication. Appa used to read the day’s newspapers cover to cover, not for news but to hunt for forgotten words for a crossword puzzle. “Ah, got it” he’d exclaim, his joy coming not from wealth but from simple victories. He would pause puzzles to play with his grandchildren or listen to their stories. Influenced by his love for words, I built my career writing stories for nonprofit, valuing passion over pay. When friends criticized my low earnings, I hesitated. I picked up one of his yellow pencils. Though hurt, I found comfort in readers’ praise online, mirroring Appa’s focus on the bright side. Appa would read aloud to me, training my love for language. By introducing me to the power of words, Appa guided my life’s mission, a purpose I never questioned nor felt the need to explore more cleverly, for it was our shared passion that mattered. While content for many years, I occasionally felt a sense of inner imbalance. At such moments, Appa would remind me: “Money isn’t everything, and more wealth doesn’t mean greater happiness.” You see, a crossword is complete and brings joy — with only so many words, each resting on connections with others. And so now I take assignments, some well-paid, some not, but together, most importantly, they fill me with joy. That is why I remain committed to this career. 1. What did Appa’s yellow pencils symbolize for the writer? A. His unspoken financial regrets. B. His desire for his kids to succeed. C. His commitment to simple joys. D. His perseverance against difficulty. 2. Why did Appa read newspapers thoroughly? A. To improve his writing skills. B. To teach his children language. C. To keep up with the latest news. D. To seek solutions for word puzzles. 3. How did the author feel when starting her writing career? A. Conflicted but recognised. B. Regretful but reflective. C. Indifferent to the feedback. D. Motivated to change jobs. 4. What does the author intend to convey through his story? A. Fortune plays an important role in life. B. Value lies in inner passion and content. C. Career choice prioritizes personal taste. D. Hard work finally leads to great success. 【答案】1. C 2. D 3. A 4. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者父亲通过字谜游戏影响了作者，他热爱文字、看重简单快乐。作者从事写作，虽收入低但坚守热爱，明白财富不等于幸福，快乐源于热爱。 【1题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“Yet when he passed away, he left me a box of worn but functional yellow pencils, tools he used daily to solve crosswords. They gave me insight into his quiet dedication.( 然而，当他去世时，他留给我一盒破旧但功能正常的黄色铅笔，这是他每天用来解决填字游戏的工具。他们让我了解了他默默奉献的精神)”以及第二段中““Ah, got it” he’d exclaim, his joy coming not from wealth but from simple victories.(“啊，明白了。”他会惊呼，他的快乐不是来自财富，而是来自简单的胜利)”可推知，黄色铅笔对作者来说象征着父亲对简单快乐的执着。故选C项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Appa used to read the day’s newspapers cover to cover, not for news but to hunt for forgotten words for a crossword puzzle.( Appa过去常常把当天的报纸从头到尾读一遍，不是为了看新闻，而是为了找一些被遗忘的单词来做填字游戏)”可知，父亲通读报纸不是为了新闻，而是为了寻找字谜中遗忘的单词，也就是为字谜寻找答案。故选D项。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“When friends criticized my low earnings, I hesitated. I picked up one of his yellow pencils. Though hurt, I found comfort in readers’ praise online, mirroring Appa’s focus on the bright side.( 当朋友们批评我收入低时，我犹豫了。我拿起他的一支黄色铅笔。尽管受到伤害，但我还是从网上读者的赞美中找到了安慰，这反映了Appa对光明一面的关注)”可推知，作者在开始写作生涯时感到犹豫，同时又感到被认可。故选A项。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章大意以及第四段中“By introducing me to the power of words, Appa guided my life’s mission, a purpose I never questioned nor felt the need to explore more cleverly, for it was our shared passion that mattered. While content for many years, I occasionally felt a sense of inner imbalance. At such moments, Appa would remind me: “Money isn’t everything, and more wealth doesn’t mean greater happiness.”(Appa让我认识到语言的力量，指引着我的人生使命，我从未质疑过这个目标，也没有觉得有必要更聪明地探索它，因为重要的是我们共同的激情。虽然满足了许多年，但我偶尔会感到内心的不平衡。在这种时候，Appa会提醒我：“钱不是万能的，更多的财富并不意味着更大的幸福。”)”可知，作者通过讲述父亲热爱解字谜，从简单胜利中获得快乐，以及自己受父亲影响从事写作职业的经历，表达了价值在于内心的热情和满足。故选B项。 Passage 5 （24-25学年高一下·山东寿光·期末） On a bright July day in the Nangili, Kenya, the kids from the village gathered at Blessed Children's Home, a shelter for 11 orphans, to kick around a soccer ball made from waste plastic bags tied tightly together with rope. Blessed Children’s Home has no running water, television or social media. They live on a diet mostly consisting of rice and vegetables. For drinking water, they use collected rainwater and water drawn from a hand-dug unfiltered well. The living conditions were tough for my 15-year-old brother Caleb and me to get used to, but we quickly came to understand that these kids in Nangili have something that many American kids lack. They have friendships resulting from the sufferings they have experienced together, and they have learned to enjoy the simple things in life. Caleb and I are runners on the Farmingdale High School cross-country track team, and we went to Kenya to train at the High Altitude Training Centre in Iten. The training we received from Kenya’s world-class runners was excellent, but our most memorable experiences in Kenya were with the orphans at Blessed Children’s Home. When we arrived there, the children welcomed us warmly. Although Nangili is a very poor village with few resources, its children find joy in playing card games and soccer. We spent many hours a day with them, laughing, running, competing, and playing. Although I missed Farmingdale when I was in Kenya, I gained a new appreciation for all the things we have here. Now I will try to live a life that is more thankful and more focused on people than on things. I want to study business in college so I can help set up social enterprises in Africa that would give opportunities to kids like the orphans I met. They have taught me more than I ever imagined. I realize now that I can learn the deepest life lessons from people with whom I might have thought I had little in common. I look forward to returning to Nangili to play with them again. 1. What does Blessed Children’s Home do? A. It helps poor children survive. B. It shares children’s stories in Kenya. C. It fights for children’s rights in Kenya. D.

Nangili is a very poor village with few resources. C. We should be grateful for what we have and the people around us. D. It is wise to make friends with people having little in common with us. 【答案】1. D 2. B 3. A 4.

(对我和 15 岁的弟弟迦勒来说，这里的生活条件很难适应，但我们很快就明白， Nangili 的这些孩子拥有许多美国孩子所缺乏的东西。他们有着因共同经历苦难而缔结的友谊，也学会了享受生活中那些简单的美好。）以及第四段中的“Although Nangili is a very poor village with few resources, its children find joy in playing card games and soccer. (尽管Nangili是个资源匮乏的贫困村庄，但这里的孩子能从玩纸牌和足球中找到快乐。）可知，Nangili的孩子过着简单却快乐的生活。故选B项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Caleb and I are runners on the Farmingdale High School cross-country track team, and we went to Kenya to train at the High Altitude Training Centre in Iten.

Greg Galeazzi joined the Army seven years ago, he was well aware of the risks of injuries or even death he would face. In 2011, the risks became Galeazzi’s reality — he got terribly injured in an explosion where he lost his double legs. “I was a shell of a man,” he said. “Who I was, was gone.” Before his injury, playing the guitar had been a special pastime for Galeazzi. Music had always been important to him. He felt deep sadness because he thought he’d lost his ability to play music. However, everything changed when Galeazzi joined MusiCorps, a music rehabilitation (康复) program for severely wounded soldiers who are recovering at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center. “We match the injured troops with professional musicians,” said Arthur Bloom, who founded the program in 2007. “They help wounded soldiers play music and recover their lives.” Bloom, a graduate of the Yale School of Music, offers his services to patients at Walter Reed who have an interest in playing an instrument. Program participants practice technique, write and record music. Or they may just get together for a jam session (即兴演奏会). The journey to recovery for many soldiers is a long one. It can require dozens of operations and many years spent in hospitals. There’s so much downtime at Walter Reed, and that’s what they fill up with music. Since 2007, Bloom and his group have helped hundreds of wounded soldiers. For Galeazzi, joining MusiCorps has helped restore his confidence and made him more optimistic about his future. “Something survived that horrible injury in Afghanistan,” Galeazzi said. “Arthur and his program changed my outlook on what is possible.” “I’ve seen guys going through such a hard time with their injuries that they are very withdrawn,” Bloom said. “The music becomes their new way of communicating. It can be just as powerful as the spoken word. By injecting music into this space, we can inject life.” 1. Which of the following is NOT true about Greg Galeazzi? A. He clearly knew the risks he would take of being a soldier. B. He was at one time in total depression about losing his legs. C. Joining MusiCorps started up his enthusiasm in playing music again. D. It was music that played a key role in healing his soul. 2. What does the MusiCorps mainly aim to do according to Arthur? A. To offer the participants professional help on how to produce music. B. To reduce the pain in the participants’ medical treatment. C. To organize music performances by the participants. D. To help the injured soldiers regain confidence in life through music. 3. What is Bloom’s attitude towards music? A. negative B. positive C. indifferent D. neutral 4. What is the best title for the text? A. Music heals the wounded B. Confidence rebuilds one in hopelessness C. He who loses faith, loses all D. Music knows no borders 【答案】1. B 2. D 3. B 4. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。讲述的是MusiCorps——一个音乐康复项目。该项目旨在通过音乐帮助受伤士兵重拾对生活的信心。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“He felt deep sadness because he thought he’d lost his ability to play music. (他感到非常悲伤，因为他认为他已经失去了演奏音乐的能力。)”可知，他是对自己失去演奏音乐能力而感到悲伤。并不是因为自己失去双腿而感到悲伤，故B选项“他一度因为失去双腿而极度沮丧”描述与原文不符。故选B。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“However, everything changed when Galeazzi joined MusiCorps, a music rehabilitation (康复) program for severely wounded soldiers who are recovering at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center. “We match the injured troops with professional musicians,” said Arthur Bloom, who founded the program in 2007. “They help wounded soldiers play music and recover their lives.” (然而，当Galeazzi加入MusiCorps后，一切都改变了。MusiCorps是一个音乐康复项目，专门为在沃尔特里德国家军事医疗中心康复的重伤士兵服务。“我们把受伤的士兵和专业音乐家配对，”2007年创立该项目的Arthur Bloom说。“他们帮助受伤的士兵演奏音乐，恢复他们的生活。”)”可知，MusiCorps主要是通过音乐帮助受伤士兵重拾对生活的信心。故选D。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段““I’ve seen guys going through such a hard time with their injuries that they are very withdrawn,” Bloom said. “The music becomes their new way of communicating. It can be just as powerful as the spoken word. By injecting music into this space, we can inject life.” (Bloom说：“我见过很多人因为受伤而经历了一段非常艰难的时期，他们非常内向。音乐成为了他们新的交流方式。它可以和口头语言一样强大。通过将音乐注入这个空间，我们可以注入生命。”)”可推知，Bloom对音乐是积极态度。故选B。 【4题详解】 主旨大意题。主旨大意题。根据第三段“However, everything changed when Galeazzi joined MusiCorps, a music rehabilitation (康复) program for severely wounded soldiers who are recovering at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center. “We match the injured troops with professional musicians,” said Arthur Bloom, who founded the program in 2007. “They help wounded soldiers play music and recover their lives.” (然而，当Galeazzi加入MusiCorps后，一切都改变了。MusiCorps是一个音乐康复项目，专门为在沃尔特里德国家军事医疗中心康复的重伤士兵服务。“我们把受伤的士兵和专业音乐家配对，”2007年创立该项目的Arthur Bloom说。“他们帮助受伤的士兵演奏音乐，恢复他们的生活。”)”可知，MusiCorps主要是通过音乐帮助受伤士兵重拾对生活的信心。故该文章的大意讲述的是MusiCorps以音乐为手段，治愈战场上那些受伤的士兵，让他们对生活的重拾信心。A项“音乐治愈伤员”符合文意，最适合作为本文标题。故选A。 Passage 2 （24-25学年高一下·山东青州·期末） “I am not crazy,” says Dr. William Farber, shortly after performing acupuncture (针灸) on a rabbit. “I am ahead of my time.” If he seems a little defensive, it might be because even some of his coworkers occasionally laugh at his unusual methods. But Farber is certain he’ll have the last laugh. He’s one of a small but growing number of American veterinarians (兽医) now practicing “holistic” medicine-combining traditional Western treatments with acupuncture, chiropractic (按摩疗法) and herbal medicine. Farber, a graduate of Colorado State University, started out as a more conventional veterinarian. He became interested in alternative treatments 20 years ago when he suffered from terrible back pain. He tried muscle-relaxing drugs but found little relief. Then he tried acupuncture, an ancient Chinese practice, and was amazed that he improved after two or three treatments. What worked on a veterinarian seemed likely to work on his patients. So, after studying the techniques for a couple of years, he began offering them to pets. Leigh Tindale’s dog Charlie had a serious heart condition. After Charlie had a heart attack, Tindale says, she was prepared to put him to sleep, but Farber’s treatments eased her dog’s suffering so much that she was able to keep him alive for an additional five months. And Priscilla Dewing reports that her horse, Nappy, “moves more easily and rides more comfortably” after a chiropractic adjustment. Farber is certain that the holistic approach will grow more popular with time, and if the past is any indication, he may be right: Since 1982, membership in the American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association has grown from 30 to over 700. “Sometimes it surprises me that it works so well,” he says. “I will do anything to help an animal. That’s my job.” 1. What do some of Farber’s coworkers think of him? A. He’s odd. B. He’s strict. C. He’s brave. D. He’s rude. 2. Why did Farber decide to try acupuncture on pets? A. He was trained in it at university. B. He was inspired by another veterinarian. C. He benefited from it as a patient. D. He wanted to save money for pet owners. 3. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. Steps of a chiropractic treatment. B. The complexity of veterinarians’ work. C. Examples of rare animal diseases. D. The effectiveness of holistic medicine. 4. Why does the author mention the American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association? A. To prove Farber’s point. B. To emphasize its importance. C. To praise veterinarians. D. To advocate animal protection. 【答案】1. A 2. C 3. D 4. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是记叙文。文章讲述兽医威廉·法伯(William Farber)博士在从针灸中受益后，将综合医疗应用于动物，并取得了初步成效。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段的“If he seems a little defensive, it might be because even some of his coworkers occasionally laugh at his unusual methods.( 如果他看起来有点戒备的姿态，那可能是因为他的一些同事偶尔会嘲笑他不寻常的方法。) ”可知，Farber的同事们有时会嘲笑他不寻常的方法，他们认为他很奇怪。故选A。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段的“Then he tried acupuncture, an ancient Chinese practice, and was amazed that he improved after two or three treatments. What worked on a veterinarian seemed likely to work on his patients. So, after studying the techniques for a couple of years, he began offering them to pets.(然后，他尝试了针灸，这是一种古老的中国疗法，并惊讶地发现，经过两三次治疗，他的病情有所好转。对兽医有效的方法似乎对他的病人也有效。因此，在研究了这些技术几年后，他开始把它们提供给宠物。)”可知，Farber作为患者从针灸中受益，这促使他决定尝试在宠物上使用针灸。故选C。 【3题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段内容“Leigh Tindale’s dog Charlie had a serious heart condition. After Charlie had a heart attack, Tindale says, she was prepared to put him to sleep, but Farber’s treatments eased her dog’s suffering so much that she was able to keep him alive for an additional five months. And Priscilla Dewing reports that her horse, Nappy, “moves more easily and rides more comfortably” after a chiropractic adjustment.(利·廷代尔的狗查理患有严重的心脏病。廷代尔说，查理心脏病发作后，她准备让他进入睡眠状态，但法伯的治疗大大减轻了她的狗的痛苦，她能够让它多活五个月。普里西拉·杜因(Priscilla Dewing)报告说，她的马纳皮(Nappy)经过脊椎按摩调整后，“行动更容易，乘车更舒服”。) ”可知，本段主要讲述了两个例子，一个是Farber通过整体医学方法帮助了患有严重心脏病的狗Charlie，另一个是马Nappy在接受脊椎按摩治疗后移动和骑行更为舒适。这些例子都是为了说明整体医学的有效性。故选D。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段的内容“Farber is certain that the holistic approach will grow more popular with time, and if the past is any indication, he may be right: Since 1982, membership in the American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association has grown from 30 to over 700. ( 法伯确信，随着时间的推移，综合疗法会越来越受欢迎，如果过去有任何迹象的话，他可能是对的:自1982年以来，美国综合兽医协会的会员已经从30个增加到700多个。)”可知，法伯认为综合疗法会越来越受欢迎，随后作者列举了美国综合兽医协会的会员已经从30个增加到700多个的例子，因此推断美国整体兽医协会是为证明法伯的观点。故选A。 Passage 3 （24-25学年高一下·山东济南·期末） Artificial intelligence (AI) is putting itself into our daily lives, from the moment we unlock our phones with facial recognition to the recommendations that guide our music playlists or online shopping. Understanding how this powerful technology will change our daily activities and experiences is significant. But that isn’t the whole picture. We also need to pay close attention to how we build and shape AI itself, and what that process shows us about ourselves. Every AI system we create functions as a mirror, clearly reflecting our values and views. Consider hiring algorithms (算法). In 2018, a large USA firm gave up an AI-powered hiring tool after discovering it was one-sided against female applicants. The AI wasn’t programmed to differentiate, but it was trained on historical hiring data that favored men, and it learned to reproduce these models. The use of AI systems in the police area, healthcare, and education reveals similar patterns. In all these cases, AI isn’t creating new unfair opinions. Instead, it is reflecting existing ones. As long as AI is trained on human data, it will reflect human behavior. That means we have to think carefully about the traces of ourselves we leave in the world. I may claim to value privacy, but if I give it up in a heartbeat to access a website, the algorithms may make a very different judgement of what I really want and what is good for me. If I claim to want meaningful human connections yet spend more time on social media and less time in the physical company of my friends, I am training AI models about the true nature of humanity. AI not only reveals problems within the systems, but also clearly shows people’s inner struggles. As AI grows stronger, we must try harder to make sure our actions follow our principles. As we continue to integrate (融合) AI into our lives, we must recognize that these systems don’t just predict our behavior; they reflect our character. Reflecting on that reflection allows us to make better, more principled choices, but only if we’re willing to look closely and take responsibility for what we see. 1. What does “the whole picture” mean in Paragraph 1? A. The process of building and shaping AI. B. The takeover of AI in our everyday life. C. The dilemma of AI in decision-making. D. The interplay between AI and humans. 2. What is the author’s purpose in mentioning hiring algorithms? A. To support an argument. B. To state a phenomenon. C. To showcase a practice. D. To oppose an opinion. 3. What does the author advise us to do? A. Hide emotional struggles. B. Delete historical database. C. Suit the action to the word. D. Avoid AI in sensitive areas. 4. What does the underlined part “that reflection” in the last paragraph refer to? A. AI melts into our lives. B. AI mirrors our mindset. C. We make wise choices. D. We remain responsible. 【答案】1. D 2. A 3. C 4. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讲述了人工智能不仅融入日常生活，还反映人类价值观，提醒人们言行一致。 【1题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段中“Understanding how this powerful technology will change our daily activities and experiences is significant. But that isn’t the whole picture. We also need to pay close attention to how we build and shape AI itself, and what that process shows us about ourselves.(理解这项强大的技术将如何改变我们的日常活动和体验是很重要的。但这并不是the whole picture。我们还需要密切关注我们如何构建和塑造人工智能本身，以及这一过程向我们展示了什么关于我们自己的信息)”可知，“the whole picture”指的是人工智能与人类之间的相互作用，即人工智能如何影响人类以及人类如何塑造人工智能。故选D。 【2题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“Every AI system we create functions as a mirror, clearly reflecting our values and views. Consider hiring algorithms (算法).(我们创造的每一个AI系统都像一面镜子，清晰地反映着我们的价值观和观点。以招聘算法为例)”可推知，作者提到招聘算法是为了支持其关于人工智能反映人类价值观和观点的论点。故选A。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“As AI grows stronger, we must try harder to make sure our actions follow our principles.(随着人工智能变得越来越强大，我们必须更加努力地确保我们的行动遵循我们的原则)”可Yui知，作者建议我们言行一致，确保行动符合原则。故选C。 【4题详解】 词句猜测题。根据最后一段中“As we continue to integrate (融合) AI into our lives, we must recognize that these systems don’t just predict our behavior; they reflect our character. Reflecting on that reflection allows us to make better, more principled choices, but only if we’re willing to look closely and take responsibility for what we see.(随着我们继续将人工智能融入生活，我们必须认识到，这些系统不仅仅预测我们的行为；它们还反映了我们的性格。反思that reflection能让我们做出更好、更有原则的选择，但前提是我们愿意仔细观察，并为我们所看到的承担责任)”可知，此处“that reflection”指的是人工智能对我们心态的映射，即人工智能如何反映我们的思想和价值观。故选B。 Passage 4 （24-25学年高一下·山东烟台·期末） Madagascar is home to amazing forest ecosystems, many of which are at risk due to human activities. UNESCO’s professional training programme is giving hands-on skills to over 60 young people, unlocking new careers with environmental efforts. Jean, a young local guy, worked for a long time as a day labourer, taking on various dangerous jobs in construction. “I could only earn about $7 per day at such dangerous conditions,” he explains. His situation changed completely when he joined UNESCO’s BIOCOM project training programme, which aims to give job choices of preventing the destructive use of forest resources and supporting environmental protection for communities living in and around Madagascar’s national parks. After the training, Jean became a metalworker and created eco-friendly park facilities, like trash bins and signposts, reducing wood consumption. He now earns $20 daily, proving green jobs pay better and protect forests. Despite Jean’s individual success, there are broader challenges. In his community, many young people face challenges in completing education and obtaining training. Half of those who enter secondary school fail to graduate. Lacking opportunities, many turn to harvest resources directly in the surrounding national parks, often in unsustainable ways, which threatens the other two BIOCOM project sites: Marojejy National Park and Andohahela National Park, both of which have been on the List of World Heritage in Danger since 2010. UNESCO’s program equips regional youth with skills for green careers. This helps prevent unsustainable local practices, such as cutting down trees illegally and overuse of firewood. For Jean, the impact of these training programs goes beyond himself. “Thanks to these training programs, we’ve become pioneers, showing the young in our villages that other career paths are out there and within reach,” he said. Jean’s example shows sustainable work can rebuild communities. UNESCO’s training programme in Madagascar lights hope, benefiting both the young and the environment in the long run. 1. What does Jean think of his previous work? A. Risky and low-paid. B. Pioneering but boring. C. Stressful and fast-paced. D. Meaningful but time-consuming. 2. What’s the purpose of the training programme? A. To better locals’ living standards. B. To advance the tourism industry. C. To provide environmental career options. D. To help the young complete education. 3. Why are the two national parks mentioned in paragraph 4? A. To prove the necessity of the project. B. To highlight young people’s preference for them. C. To compare their roles in conducting the project. D. To call for international attention to park maintenance. 4. Which of the following can describe the programme? A. Temporary. B. Far-reaching. C. Short-sighted. D. Entertaining. 【答案】1. A 2. C 3. A 4. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要介绍了联合国教科文组织在马达加斯加开展的环保培训项目及其影响。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。 根据第二段的““I could only earn about $7 per day at such dangerous conditions,” he explains.”(他解释说：“在如此危险的条件下，我每天只能挣到大约7美元。”)”可知，Jean认为他之前的工作危险且报酬低。故选A。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。 根据第三段的“His situation changed completely when he joined UNESCO’s BIOCOM project training programme, which aims to give job choices of preventing the destructive use of forest resources and supporting environmental protection for communities living in and around Madagascar’s national parks.(当他加入联合国教科文组织的BIOCOM项目培训计划时，他的情况完全改变了，该计划旨在为生活在马达加斯加国家公园内及周围的社区提供防止森林资源破坏性利用和支持环境保护的工作选择)”可知，培训计划的目的是提供环保职业选择。故选C。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。 根据第四段的“Lacking opportunities, many turn to harvest resources directly in the surrounding national parks, often in unsustainable ways, which threatens the other two BIOCOM project sites: Marojejy National Park and Andohahela National Park, both of which have been on the List of World Heritage in Danger since 2010.(由于缺乏机会，许多人转向直接在周围的国家公园开采资源，往往以不可持续的方式进行，这威胁到了另外两个BIOCOM项目地点：Marojejy国家公园和Andohahela国家公园，这两个公园自2010年以来一直被列入世界遗产濒危名录)”可知，许多年轻人因为缺乏机会而转向不可持续的资源开采方式，这威胁到了两个国家公园，从而证明了项目的必要性。故选A。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。 根据最后一段“Jean’s example shows sustainable work can rebuild communities. UNESCO’s training programme in Madagascar lights hope, benefiting both the young and the environment in the long run.(Jean的例子表明，可持续的工作可以重建社区。联合国教科文组织在马达加斯加的培训计划点燃了希望，从长远来看，这对年轻人和环境都有利)”可推知，该计划具有深远的影响。故选B。 主题02 人与自我 Passage 1 （24-25学年高一下·山东聊城·期末） I grew up hearing, “Figure it out, but don’t look it up.” I use this advice when I’m tempted (诱惑) to turn to a search engine for answers. Should all of us limit our use of technology? Nicholas G. Carr, the author of The Shallows: What the Internet Is Doing to Our Brains, says that we should take some time away from screens. “Deep thinking happens only when our minds are calm and attentive.” It is difficult to focus while we are using the Internet. People tend to look up a question and end up skimming (浏览) through unrelated information. Some people might not even notice when they start mindlessly clicking. David Price, a guest blogger on a website, says that teaching may be getting easier with Google because parents can now use the Internet to help with their kids’ homework. This led me to think about our schooldays. When my class had a math test, most of us used calculators (计算器) at every chance even though everyone in that room was able to solve each problem without them. It’s similar to the Internet; we know the answers to many questions we search for. We need to at least attempt to use our minds for problem-solving, or we risk losing the ability to do so. If we always turn to technology for answers, we’ll never learn anything on our own. Actually, the problems with technology arise only when it is used in a certain way, but it’s not the solution to every problem. The positives of technology don’t remove the negatives. It’s time to take a step back from technology and take a break from our reliance on it. 1. What may happen when using the Internet according to paragraph 2? A. We’ll find it hard to think deeply. B. We’ll respond quickly to information. C. We’ll solve problems more reasonably. D. We’ll become less eager to solve problems. 2. Why does the author mention his school math test? A. To show different learning strategies in various settings. B. To stress the importance of independent learning. C. To express his agreement with Price’s opinion. D. To praise the development of technology. 3. What is the author’s opinion on technology? A. It requires thoughtful and balanced application. B. It should be developed with combined efforts. C. It should encourage more human creativity. D. It needs greater availability to serve people. 【答案】1. A 2. B 3. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文，作者围绕“我们是否应该限制科技的使用”这一话题展开讨论。文中引用了Nicholas G. Carr的观点，指出使用互联网时难以集中注意力，不利于深度思考；又结合自身上学时依赖计算器的经历，类比人们对互联网的过度依赖，认为我们应适当减少对科技的依赖，合理使用科技。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段中Nicholas G. Carr的观点“Deep thinking happens only when our minds are calm and attentive. It is difficult to focus while we are using the Internet. (只有当我们的思想平静且专注时，才会有深度思考。使用互联网时，我们很难集中注意力。)”可知，使用互联网时，人们难以集中注意力，也就很难进行深度思考。故选A项。 【2题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“When my class had a math test, most of us used calculators (计算器) at every chance even though everyone in that room was able to solve each problem without them. It’s similar to the Internet; we know the answers to many questions we search for. We need to at least attempt to use our minds for problem-solving, or we risk losing the ability to do so. (在数学考试时，尽管大家都能不借助计算器解题，却还是频繁使用。这和使用互联网类似，很多我们搜索的问题其实自己是知道答案的。我们至少需要尝试用自己的大脑去解决问题，否则可能会失去这种能力.)”可知，很多我们搜索的问题其实自己是知道答案的，我们至少需要尝试用自己的大脑去解决问题，否则可能会失去这种能力，可推理出作者提及上学时的数学考试，是为了强调独立学习的重要性，不能过度依赖外部工具。故选B项。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Actually, the problems with technology arise only when it is used in a certain way, but it’s not the solution to every problem. The positives of technology don’t remove the negatives. It’s time to take a step back from technology and take a break from our reliance on it. (事实上，科技的问题只是在以某种方式使用时才会出现，它并非所有问题的解决方案。科技的积极面并不能消除其消极面。是时候远离科技，不再过度依赖它了。)”可知，科技并非所有问题的解决方案，它的积极面并不能消除其消极面，是时候远离科技，不再过度依赖它了，可推理出作者认为科技既有好处也有坏处，我们应该深思熟虑，平衡地使用科技。故选A项。 Passage 2 （24-25学年高一下·山东临沂·期末） When seven-year-old Suzanne Heywood was told her family would sail the world for three years, she imagined thrilling adventures. Instead, this journey trapped her at sea for a decade. Her British parents sought to recreate Captain Cook’s 18th- century voyage — a dream that became her childhood nightmare. While her parents called this trip a “free and glorious journey,” Suzanne has since compared it to being imprisoned. Trapped on the boat with no formal schooling, she was limited to the wooden boat and endless horizons. “Father promised we’d return to our dog and friends in three years,” Suzanne recalls in her book Wavewalker.” “But ten years passed before I touched English soil again — years without classrooms or playground friendships.” A few months after they left England, they were hit by an enormous wave. The wave crashed over the back of the boat and Suzanne was seriously injured. “My head bone cracked, nose broken, blood mixing with seawater.” She recalls. Washed ashore on a faraway Indian island, she underwent an emergency head operation — without anesthetics. “The doctor used basic tools; I bit a leather belt to silence screams.” As it became clear her parents had no intentions of going back, Suzanne decided to educate herself, as education was the only way to get off the boat and have a normal life. At thirteen, she registered in an Australian correspondence course. nights unfolded in her rocking cabin (船舱); a shaking oil lamp lightening math problems, geography maps pinned to damp walls. “I struggled daily,” she admits. Her parents always wanted her to work rather than spend days in books. However, this time she didn’t give in, as that was her only lifeline. Despite these difficulties, she landed a spot at Oxford University. Today, her bestselling book inspires millions. Readers worldwide declare: “Your escape from the waves proves we can have our own futures!” 1. What expectation did Suzanne have about the voyage in the beginning? A. She would be trapped on the sea. B. She would have a childhood nightmare. C. She would experience exciting adventures. D. She would recreate Captain Cook’s wonder. 2. What did Suzanne think of her life at sea in Paragraph 2? A. It was a separation from normal life. B. It was an opportunity to broaden horizons. C. It was a challenging training to be a sailor. D. It was a glorious journey to explore the sea. 3. What does the underlined word “that” in Paragraph 4 refer to? A. Working on board. B. Getting parental support. C. Educating herself. D. Completing the voyage. 4. What does the author’s experience show? A. Think twice before you act. B. East or west, home is best. C. A good turn deserves another. D. Where there is a will, there is a way. 【答案】1. C 2. A 3. C 4. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了Suzanne随父母航海十年的经历，她在海上遭遇受伤、无正规教育等困境，但通过自学考上牛津大学，其书激励了无数人。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“When seven-year-old Suzanne Heywood was told her family would sail the world for three years, she imagined thrilling adventures.(当七岁的苏珊娜·海伍德被告知她的家人将航海环游世界三年时，她想象着激动人心的冒险)”可知，一开始Suzanne期望自己能经历刺激的冒险。故选C项。 【2题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“Trapped on the boat with no formal schooling, she was limited to the wooden boat and endless horizons. ‘Father promised we’d return to our dog and friends in three years,’ Suzanne recalls in her book Wavewalker. ‘But ten years passed before I touched English soil again — years without classrooms or playground friendships.’(她被困在船上，没有接受正规教育，只能待在木船上，面对无尽的海洋。“父亲承诺我们三年后会回到我们的狗和朋友身边，”苏珊娜在她的书《浪行者》中回忆道。“但在我再次踏上英国的土地之前，十年过去了——那些年没有教室，也没有操场上的友谊。”)”可知，在海上的十年，Suzanne被困在船上，没有接受正规教育，没有教室，也没有操场上的友谊，所以她会认为这种生活是与正常生活相分离的。故选A项。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“As it became clear her parents had no intentions of going back, Suzanne decided to educate herself, as education was the only way to get off the boat and have a normal life.(当很明显她的父母无意回去时，苏珊娜决定自学，因为教育是下船过上正常生活的唯一途径)”和划线词所在句“However, this time she didn’t give in, as that was her only lifeline.(然而，这次她没有屈服，因为那是她唯一的救命稻草)”可知，指示代词that指代的是前面提到的在船上“自学”这件事，即“Educating herself.”。故选C项。 【4题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段中“As it became clear her parents had no intentions of going back, Suzanne decided to educate herself, as education was the only way to get off the boat and have a normal life.

Then, a man stopped on the road outside their house, and asked the couple if he could take photographs of the birds on the property. Afterwards, he suggested that instead of trying to get rid of the birds, they should instead learn to live alongside them, and Maraksacha Reserve was born. Today, the couple credit this man, the celebrated bird photographer Manu Espinosa, with changing their lives, and helping them persuade others of the vital importance of conservation in this region. Birding tourism is flourishing in Ecuador, with increasing numbers of specialist tour groups. Ecuador contains a variety of ecosystems at differing elevations, which helps explain why it’s among the top 10 countries in the world for bird diversity. The country is home to over 1,600 bird species — nearly double the number found in all of Europe — within an area just slightly larger than the UK. As the business of birding grows, more and more farmers are switching their land from agriculture to bird reserves, benefiting not just the birds, but the country’s economy too. One notable example is the Ajila family, who have devoted themselves to preserving the long-wattled umbrellabird. On his land near Recinto, landowner Luis Ajila has switched from dairy farming to conservation, replanting trees and promoting the site to wildlife tourists — work that he says is a better livelihood than farming. “Wildlife tourism is much more profitable than farming, but that wasn’t our only motivation,” says Luis Jr., Ajila’s son. “We aimed to protect not just the umbrellabird, but all the unique wildlife here, safeguarding them for future generations.” Since 2005, Angel Paz has transformed his former dairy farm into a bird reserve. At first, things didn’t go to plan: it took a month for the first visitor to arrive, and he paid just $10 for a four-hour tour. Since then, however, thousands of people have made the pilgrimage. “I have protected my home and its birdlife for almost two decades, and finally watched the wildlife — and the people who visit — flourish,” Angel Paz says. 1. What advice did the photographer give to the couple? A. Photographing the birds. B. Coexisting with the birds. C. Protecting their precious crops. D. Taking care of their property. 2. What is paragraph 3 of the text mainly about? A. How Ecuador is geographically unique. B. What distinguishes Ecuador’s biodiversity. C. What makes Ecuador a birding destination. D. How birding tourism is operated in Ecuador. 3. What have the Ajila family achieved? A. Helping other farmers shake off poverty. B. Combining profitability with sustainability. C. Applying new technology in modern farming. D. Changing the landscapes of their residential areas. 4. What can we learn from Ángel Paz’s story? A. Well begun is half done. B. It takes time to bear fruit. C. The early bird catches the worm. D. The secret to success is adaptability. 【答案】1. B 2. C 3. B 4. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。本文主要介绍了一对爱鸟夫妇和摄影师Manu Espinosa在厄瓜多尔创办了保护区，发展观鸟旅游业，同时带动其他农户将农田转变为观鸟地，这既促进了当地的旅游业有保护了环境。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。由第一段中“Afterwards, he suggested that instead of trying to get rid of the birds, they should instead learn to live alongside them, and Maraksacha Reserve was born. (后来，他（摄影师）建议，与其试图赶走这些鸟，不如学会和它们一起生活，于是马拉克萨查保护区就诞生了)”可知，摄影师建议这对夫妇与鸟类共存。故选B项。 【2题详解】 主旨大意题。由第三段“Birding tourism is flourishing in Ecuador, with increasing numbers of specialist tour groups. Ecuador contains a variety of ecosystems at differing elevations, which helps explain why it’s among the top 10 countries in the world for bird diversity. The country is home to over 1,600 bird species — nearly double the number found in all of Europe — within an area just slightly larger than the UK. (观鸟旅游在厄瓜多尔蓬勃发展，专业旅游团越来越多。厄瓜多尔拥有不同海拔的各种生态系统，这有助于解释为什么它是世界上鸟类多样性排名前十的国家之一。该国拥有1600多种鸟类，几乎是整个欧洲鸟类的两倍，其面积略大于英国)”可知，第三段指出厄瓜多尔因多样的生态系统和高海拔差异，成为全球鸟类多样性前十的国家，并吸引观鸟旅游，C项“是什么让厄瓜多尔成为观鸟目的地”概括了厄瓜多尔成为观鸟目的地的核心原因。故选C项。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。由第四段中“On his land near Recinto, landowner Luis Ajila has switched from dairy farming to conservation, replanting trees and promoting the site to wildlife tourists — work that he says is a better livelihood than farming. (在累西托附近的土地上，土地所有者路易斯·阿吉拉（Luis Ajila）已经从奶牛养殖转向了保护，重新种植了树木，并向野生动物游客推广了该地——他说这项工作比农业更能维持生计)”和第五段中Luis Jr., Ajila’s son说的话“Wildlife tourism is much more profitable than farming, but that wasn’t our only motivation (野生动物旅游比农业更有利，但这不是我们唯一的动机)”“We aimed to protect not just the umbrellabird, but all the unique wildlife here, safeguarding them for future generations. (我们的目标不仅是保护雨伞鸟，还要保护这里所有独特的野生动物，为子孙后代保护它们)”可知，Ajila家族将农场转为保护区，既保护伞鸟（长须伞鸟）又通过生态旅游获利，Ajila的儿子明确提到“旅游比农业更盈利，但保护动机同样重要”，体现经济与生态可持续性的结合。故选B项。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。由最后一段中“At first, things didn’t go to plan: it took a month for the first visitor to arrive, and he paid just $10 for a four-hour tour. Since then, however, thousands of people have made the pilgrimage. “I have protected my home and its birdlife for almost two decades, and finally watched the wildlife — and the people who visit — flourish,” Angel Paz says. (起初，事情并没有按计划进行：第一位游客花了一个月的时间才到达，他只花了10美元就完成了四个小时的旅行。然而，从那以后，成千上万的人进行了朝圣。Angel Paz说：“近二十年来，我一直在保护我的家和它的鸟类，终于看到了野生动物和游客的蓬勃发展。”)”可知，Angel Paz的保护区初期游客稀少且收入微薄，但经过长期坚持（近20年），最终游客增多，生态与旅游业共同繁荣，B项“需要时间才能见效”准确反映了这一过程，强调耐心与坚持的重要性。故选B项。 Passage 4 （24-25学年高一下·山东淄博·期末） Katalin Karikó, a Hungarian-born biochemist known for her pioneering research into RNA treatment, was awarded the 2023 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. Growing up in a small village, Karikó expressed an interest in nature and excelled academically in science from an early age. After graduating with a doctoral degree, she accepted a position at a Biological Research Centre in Hungary, where she began her investigations of modified nucleosides(核苷). Due to the lack of financial (财政) support for her research, Karikó moved to two different institutions for research in the US, where she made advances that inspired her to explore further. After varieties of failures in applying her findings to medical experiments, which cost large amounts of money, she finally made a major breakthrough, fueled by the urgency to develop a vaccine(疫苗) that could help prevent or reduce the severity of infection. Unlike traditional vaccine development, the generation of mRNA vaccines is relatively rapid, which contributes much to the whole world. Karikó was no stranger to awards. In addition to the Nobel Prize, her work was recognized with numerous honors, including the Lewis S. Rosenstiel Award for Distinguished Work in Basic Medical Research in 2020, the Lasker-DeBakey Medical Research Award in 2021 as well as the Louisa Gross Horwitz Prize in 2021. In an interview on her success. she said “I suppose the message of all about this is that perseverance can pay off in the end. I believe in the first 14 years of your life—your teens, your parents, your teachers and your friends. They shape you the person who you will be. ” When asked how to balance her career and the family, her words were “I try to tell fellow female scientists that you don’t have to choose between having a family or career, you can have it, and that you just don’t have to over-assist your child. Your children will watch you and then they will follow. That’s what comes—the example you present. ” 1. What’s the major problem for Karikó’s early research? A. The shortage of funding. B. Her countless failures. C. The lack of inspiration. D. Her different nationality. 2. What can we learn about Karikó? A. She received poor education in childhood. B. She was honored with many prizes in parenting. C. She transferred to two different countries for further research. D. She was extraordinary academically in science when young. 3. What does the interview illustrate in the last paragraph? A. The related experiences determine one’s success. B. Modeling is important in educating children. C. Success is purely based on one’s natural talent. D. Females must make choices between family and career. 4. Which of the following best describes Karikó? A. Talented and generous. B.

That’s what comes—the example you present. ”(当被问及如何平衡事业和家庭时，她表示：“我想告诉其他女性科学家，不必在家庭和事业之间做选择，两者可以兼顾，而且不必过度帮助孩子。你的孩子会观察你，然后效仿你。这就是榜样的力量。”)”可知，Karikó认为父母的榜样作用在教育孩子过程中至关重要。故选B。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Katalin Karikó, a Hungarian-born biochemist known for her pioneering research into RNA treatment, was awarded the 2023 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.( Katalin Karikó是一位出生于匈牙利的生物化学家，以其在RNA疗法方面的开创性研究而闻名，她获得了2023年诺贝尔生理学或医学奖。)”可知，Karikó开创性研究mRNA 疫苗并获诺贝尔奖，体现了她才华横溢；再根据第三段“After varieties of failures in applying her findings to medical experiments, which cost large amounts of money, she finally made a major breakthrough, fueled by the urgency to develop a vaccine(疫苗) that could help prevent or reduce the severity of infection.(在将研究成果应用于医学实验的过程中，她经历了种种失败，耗费了大量资金，但在研发一种能够帮助预防或降低感染严重性的疫苗这一迫切需求的推动下，她最终取得了重大突破。)”可知，Karikó在研究中遭遇失败却坚持下去，最终取得了突破，这体现了她的坚持不懈。故选C。 主题03 人与自然 Passage 1 （24-25学年高一下·山东威海·期末） In a world where tree-dwelling animals (树栖动物) must brave traffic every day just to find lunch, a Brazilian biologist called Fernanda Abra is stepping in to help — by building special rope bridges that let animals stay in the trees and avoid the dangers below. The idea came to Abra years ago when she spotted a Groves’ titi monkey — a species close to extinction — sitting dangerously close to a road. “It was totally left unprotected from cars,” she recalls. That moment set off a mission to protect Brazil’s wildlife, which loses about 475million wild animals yearly to car accidents. Partnering with the native people. Abra started the Reconecta Project. Together, they’ve built over 30 canopy (树冠) bridges along a long highway through the Amazon. These overpasses aren’t just simple rope-and-wood structures. Each bridge is a high-tech design, equipped with cameras to monitor animals crossing. The videos show which species are frequent crossers, and which ones still avoid the bridges. The data helps improve designs, turning unwilling animals into regular crossers. But the bridges do more than protect animals from being killed on the road. By reconnecting once-separated forest areas, they help animals move around more easily, find food, and even meet partners. For species that live alone, this could mean more chances to survive and grow their populations. Abra’s work couldn’t be timelier. The fast growth of road construction in Brazil is hurting the natural homes of animals. Yet her team isn’t just building bridges — they’re adding speed bumps (减速带) on roads and posting animal-crossing signs to remind drivers they’ re sharing the roads. The project’s success has even caught global attention, mirroring efforts like California’s mountain lion-friendly freeway overpass. Now, Reconecta is branching out. Abra is bringing together government departments, nonprofits, and universities to weave more green threads across Brazil’s road network. “Brazil has an amazing biodiversity (生物多样性),” she said. “I will do everything that I can to protect this rich biodiversity.” 1. What was the direct reason for Abra to start Reconecta? A. Desiring to partner with natives. B. Knowing the yearly animal death rate. C. Noticing animals endangered by traffic. D. Worrying about the loss of Amazon rainforest. 2. What are the cameras on the canopy bridges used to do? A. Help animals to find food. B. Monitor species populations. C. Scare off enemies for monkeys. D. Record crossings for better designs. 3. Why is California’s freeway overpass mentioned? A. To point out timely actions are needed. B. To introduce a new method for animal protection. C. To show the Reconecta Project is getting global attention. D. To stress shared challenges in road construction worldwide. 4. What is the passage mainly about? A. The lifelines built in the treetops for wildlife. B. The value of protecting Amazon’s biodiversity. C. The need for combined efforts to protect wildlife. D. The risks caused by Brazil’s highway development. 【答案】1. C 2. D 3. C 4. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章报道了巴西生物学家Fernanda Abra发起并推进的“Reconecta项目”，该项目通过建造特殊的绳索桥来帮助树栖动物避开地面交通的危险，保护巴西的野生动物。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“The idea came to Abra years ago when she spotted a Groves’ titi monkey — a species close to extinction — sitting dangerously close to a road. “It was totally left unprotected from cars,” she recalls. That moment set off a mission to protect Brazil’s wildlife, which loses about 475million wild animals yearly to car accidents. Partnering with the native people. Abra started the Reconecta Project. (几年前，Abra看到一只格罗夫斯狨猴（一种濒临灭绝的物种）坐在离公路很近的危险地方，这个想法便在她心中萌生了。“它完全暴露在车流威胁之下，毫无保护，”她回忆道。那一刻，她开启了一项保护巴西野生动物的使命——巴西每年约有4.75亿只野生动物死于车祸。Abra与当地人合作，启动了“Reconecta计划”。)”可知，Abra启动 Reconecta 项目的直接原因是她亲眼目睹了一只濒临灭绝的猴子处于车流威胁中，即注意到动物受到交通威胁。故选C。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Each bridge is a high-tech design, equipped with cameras to monitor animals crossing. The videos show which species are frequent crossers, and which ones still avoid the bridges. The data helps improve designs, turning unwilling animals into regular crossers. (每座桥都是高科技设计，配备了摄像头来监测过路的动物。视频会显示哪些物种经常使用天桥，哪些仍然对天桥避而远之。这些数据有助于改进桥的设计，让不愿使用天桥的动物也变成常客。)”可知，树冠桥上的摄像头用于监测动物的通行情况（记录哪些物种常使用、哪些避开），收集的数据能帮助改进桥梁设计。故选D。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第五段“The project’s success has even caught global attention, mirroring efforts like California’s mountain lion-friendly freeway overpass. (该项目的成功甚至引起了全球关注，与美国加利福尼亚州为美洲狮打造的友好型高速公路天桥等举措遥相呼应。)”可知，文中提到加利福尼亚州的高速公路天桥，是为了举例说明 Reconecta 项目的成功引起了全球关注，与其他地区的动物保护举措形成呼应。故选C。 【4题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章内容可知，全文围绕巴西生物学家 Fernanda Abra 发起的 Reconecta 项目展开，核心是为树栖动物建造树冠桥，帮助它们避开交通危险、重新连接栖息地，同时介绍了桥梁的设计、作用及项目的影响。选项A“The lifelines built in the treetops for wildlife.

They’re also producing electricity to power the very building they’re in. Brown’s Nelson Fitness Center recently housed a series of cardio (有氧的) machines, made by the company SportsArt, that change human energy into electricity. The gym equipment came about thanks to a student project several years before. Elina Pipa, now a senior at Brown, took a class on climate solutions. The course required students to develop a business case for a real-world climate solution. While some may have imagined distant situations, Pipa chose to focus on something closer to home: Brown University’s own exercise center. Soon, Pipa’s idea became a reality. Gym-goers can see the impact directly. Along with your time or miles, the SportsArt equipment also shows the “instant watts (瓦特)” based on your pace. SportsArt says its equipment can produce up to 220 watt hours of electricity per hour of workout. In a separate test, one reporter found that 30 minutes of walking created about 80 watt hours of electricity, enough to power an LED light for about six hours. “It was super exciting because you could see that there is an impact,” she says. “When you see that even your gym equipment can do something, you start understanding it is possible to have habits in your life that are positive for the environment.” This gym equipment is in place now -with even more machines on the way, she says. The fact shows that students don’t have to wait until they graduate to take climate action. “You don’t need to reinvent the wheel to have an impact,” she says. “Sometimes it’s about taking an existing idea and running with it.” 1. What is special about Brown University fitness center? A. It is powered by workouts. B. It has traditional treadmills. C. It offers tailored fitness plans. D. It provides free fitness classes. 2. What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about? A. A task from SportsArt. B. The origin of Pipa’s idea. C. A project of Brown University. D. The solution to a business case. 3. Why does the author mention the separate test in paragraph 3? A. To record the progress of users. B. To stress the benefits of walking. C. To tell the methods of producing power. D. To prove the effectiveness of the equipment. 4. What does Pipa suggest students do to help the environment? A. Form good habits. B. Start with inventions. C. Focus on academics first. D. Act on current ideas now. 【答案】1. A 2. B 3. D 4.

When Harrison was 14, he got sick and had to have one of his lungs removed. The process involved a three-month hospital stay, and nearly two gallons of donated blood. It inspired him to donate his own later—despite his fear to needles. In 1954, as soon as he hit the legal age of 18, Harrison started giving blood and plasma. Harrison’s blood contains an extremely rare antibody, which doctors believe has to do with the blood he received earlier. Once Harrison learned he possessed anti-D, he was happy to continue to donate in order to help as many people as possible. Harrison donated blood and plasma 1,173 times, every two weeks between 1954 and 2018. All but 10 were from his right arm. “He was committed to a lifetime of giving and he captured the hearts of many people around the world,” Lifeblood CEO Stephen Cornelissen said in a statement. He “never missed a single appointment,” the agency said, and “expected nothing in return”. Blood donors are not compensated (补偿) financially under Australian law. Harrison officially retired at age 81, the maximum age for blood donations under Australian law. He made his last donation in May 2018, surrounded by half a dozen grateful mothers holding babies who benefited from the anti-D program. In fact, Harrison was reluctant to retire, telling the Sydney Morning Herald that “I’d keep on going if they let me.” But he is pleased to know that Australia has about 200 anti-D donors who help around 45,000 mothers and babies annually, according to Lifeblood. He believes they are dedicated to the cause. 1. Why did Harrison decide to donate blood himself? A. He reached legal age for donation. B. He benefited from it as a patient. C. His blood contains a rare antibody. D. He wanted to make a new record. 2. What can we learn about Harrison from Stephen’s words? A. He is selfless. B. He is honest. C. He is brave. D. He is grateful. 3. How did Harrison feel about his retirement? A. Indifferent. B. Delighted. C. Unwilling. D. Satisfied. 4. What does Harrison’s story show? A. Giving is living. B. Hard work pays off. C. Live and learn. D. No pains, no gains. Passage 2 （24-25学年高一下·山东日照·期末） While most libraries have added movies, computers and even toys, a library in New York City has taken it one step further and made room for a few new accessories (配件) at its Riverside branch. Michelle Lee, a young adult librarian, came up with the idea to offer library goers interview accessories such as ties, purses, and briefcases for those who can’t afford to buy them. The idea came to her in 2016 when she gave a talk to high school students about resumes and job seeking. After explaining to the teens that they would be expected to come in business clothes and that backpacks were off-limits, several participants said that they didn’t have nice things to use. She quickly put one and one together and realized that the Riverside library branch—which was filled with about 200 students every day—could be part of the solution by lending out the much-needed interview supplies. Many of the students used the computers to write their resumes and search for jobs, so it would be a convenient place to offer that type of service. With the idea at hand, Lee submitted (提交) a plan to Innovation Project, which enabled library staff to find solutions to problems that they encounter at the library. Her submission won; and she used the funding from the Charles H. Revson Foundation to buy 12 handbags and briefcases. Ties and pocket squares were donated, in part by an employee at Bloomingdale’s. The first accessories were put out at the library in August 2018. People could borrow them for up to three weeks at a time for job interviews, proms, or any other event that requires dressing up. Many people have used the service, including Panarat Imcharoen, a Thailand-native who took out a Kenneth Cole purse for carrying interview necessities because she couldn’t afford a bag large enough to carry them in. “I was surprised, I didn’t know before you could borrow men’s and women’s bags,” Imcharoen said. “That’s a good idea if someone needs it.” 1. What makes the Riverside library branch special? A. Providing books for the needy. B. Having a large collection of movies. C. Lending out interview supplies. D. Offering Job opportunities to people. 2. Why did Michelle Lee choose the Riverside library branch for her idea? A. It was well managed. B. It was conveniently situated. C. It was equipped with computers. D. It was frequented by students. 3. What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A. The effort Lee made for her goal. B. The challenges Lee faced in her work. C. The items Lee-collected for her library. D. The support Lee got from the public. 4. How does Panarat Imcharoen sound when talking about the library’s service? A. Doubtful. B. Astonished. C. Appreciative. D. Humorous. Passage 3 （24-25学年高一下·山东菏泽·期末） Wang Shuai did not consider himself a competitive person. Although he thought everyone deserved a prize for participating, he excelled on the television cooking show, reaching the final. Wang said that before going on Top Chef (厨师), he had felt very stuck. He believed he had reached his peak. However, being in competition mode and learning from other chefs inspired his creativity. Born in Beijing, Wang immigrated to the United States at nine, where his mom took over the cooking. He calls her the “Top Chef”. However, he didn’t find his own love of cooking until high school. “I had to take a cooking class in my last two years to make up credits for all the classes that I ‘accidentally missed,” he laughs. Wang Shuai and his wife Corrie Wang opened their restaurant, King BBQ. The Wangs call their menu “Chinatown BBQ made in southern American food style,” full of personal touches. “I cook from nostalgia — my fondest memory of growing up in New York,” he says, “my parents taking me to Flushing on the weekends, or late nights after work, going down to Chinatown.” His first dish for the cooking show, smoked duck on top of noodles with Chinese cabbage, rings that bell. The next dish he cooks, chili tofu, is done in a Chinese-Italian style, with soft tofu, a sweet, spicy, chili sauce, and local pork, topped with cheese. “I get crazy ideas,” Wang Shuai admits. “I have a million and one crazy ideas. Sometimes they work, sometimes they don’t.” “I really just want to embrace (接纳) myself and my culture and cook Chinese food,” he says. After the show, Wang is taking all his crazy ideas, a renewed spirit of adventure and creativity into the future. “I realized oh, I didn’t peak,” he says. “Chinese food has a long history. I’ve explored very little of it.” Wang Shuai is determined to continue his exploration in Chinese cooking. 1. What did Wang Shuai get from the Top Chef show? A. Puzzlement in competition. B. Improvement in cooking. C. Top prize for his performance. D. An opportunity to show talent. 2. What probably led to Wang’s love for cooking? A. His moving to the US. B. His absence from class. C. A cooking class in high school. D. Encouragement from his mother. 3. What does the underlined phrase “rings that bell” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Gets first good taste. B. Runs Chinatown BBQ. C. Presents American food styles. D. Brings back good memories. 4. What does Wang’s story show? A. Do as the Romans do. B. Practice makes perfect. C. Success lies in confidence. D.

She documents her beautifully handmade classroom decorations based on favorite childhood shows and movies such as Lilo & Stitch and posts videos on social media, making herself a hit. She believes in the power of applying social media to inspiring others. However, it is far from easy. She says it typically takes the entire summer to prepare, and she spends between $300 and $400 each school year. But it’s totally worth it, as she adds, to make her students welcome and comfortable and know someone takes the time to invite them in. Castillo is also making a lasting impact beyond her school walls, with her masterpiece Annual College Essentials Basket Giveaway. Since 2018, she has collected and donated baskets filled with necessities like sheets, comforters, and school supplies to first-year college students. “I started this giveaway because I know firsthand how tough it can be to start college without the basics.” Castillo says, drawing from her own story. Her mission is clear: to reduce financial burdens and remind them they’re never alone. This year, she’s invited the world to join her through a GoFundMe campaign, expanding the ripple (连锁反应) of kindness. As Castillo puts it, “It doesn’t matter how far you go in life. You can always give back to your community. If everyone does just one act of kindness, the world will be a better place.” 1. What makes Castillo popular on social media? A.

Its slow death began with a warning that flashed across the screen one night: This function is not available now. I tried cleaning the remote control, restarting the TV and updating the system. Nothing worked. I thought about getting a new TV, but we didn’t have the money to replace it. I spent hours online researching and concluded the motherboard (主板) was near the end of its life. Motherboard. The word held significance. I heard it as two words: mother bored. With my younger son, Henry, away at college, my role as a mom had taken a big turn. I was still trying to get used to this change. I was, honestly, a little bored. I had just thought about watching Henry’s favorite TV show Jeopardy after dinner to kill time, but now the annoying warning ruined my relaxation. I wished the TV would fix itself, but the warning came more often as the week went on. Disappointed, I decided to settle down with a book instead. I searched my bookshelf and found a historical novel that I’d been given as a gift a few years ago but never read. The first few nights, I was restless. I fought the desire to pick up my phone and research new TVs or check social media. But once I got lost in the book, everything changed. A new level of relaxation opened, and a deep sense of peace filled my day and even my night’s sleep. We moved the broken TV out of the living room. Now when I think about that annoying warning, I feel thankful. I realize that blessings sometimes enter our lives disguised as problems, and the answer isn’t always getting something new but rediscovering gifts we already have. 1.

Passage 3 （24-25学年高一下·山东聊城·期末） Things haven’t always come easy for Karla Vega Cervantes. Having graduated from high school at the height of the COVID-19 outbreak, Karla began her Berkeley journey in 2020 and, like many of her fellow first-year students, struggled with adapting to college life. Her school term started online, and while she successfully handled her virtual academic (学业的) experience, the change to fully in-person classes presented new challenges. “I felt really lonely and isolated on campus,” Karla said. That’s when Karla began seeking resources to find her community. She began attending events, and through them, she found the Educational Opportunity Program (EOP) and the Undocumented Student Program (USP). Karla credits these support systems with helping her through some of her toughest times at Berkeley. A highlight for Karla has been attending yield events (招生吸引活动) — the part of the college admissions process where students have received their acceptance and are deciding whether or not to attend. “Going to yield in the spring of my junior year is when I really felt that sense of belonging,” she said. And despite the challenging experience at the beginning of her college journey, Karla is set to graduate in May, 2025 with a bachelor’s degree in chemical engineering. As she looks to the future, she is considering studying for a master’s degree and applying her chemical engineering background to the cosmetic (化妆品) industry, where she can explore creating products that are gentle on dyed hair, which she admits is one of her favorite hobbies. “My advice to new students is to think not only about your academics but also your support systems on campus. Don’t be scared to reach out, go to events, or build a community. Find those spaces where you feel like you belong. That’s how I found my sense of belonging at Berkeley,” Karla said. 1. Why did Karla join different events at first? A. To feel part of the community. B. To explore career opportunities. C. To improve academic performance. D. To gain recognition from classmates. 2. What does Karla’s future career plan reflect about her? A. She values financial success. B. She ignores academic qualifications. C. She combines passion with profession. D. She stays content with her current situation. 3. What can be learned from Karla’s story? A. Great minds think alike. B. Be good, or you will be lonely. C. Self-belief is the key to success. D. God helps those who help themselves. Passage 4 （24-25学年高一下·山东德州·期末） I often reflect on my father’s influence through his crossword puzzles (字谜游戏). Appa, my father, once sadly mentioned wishing he had put money to buy homes for his children. Yet when he passed away, he left me a box of worn but functional yellow pencils, tools he used daily to solve crosswords. They gave me insight into his quiet dedication. Appa used to read the day’s newspapers cover to cover, not for news but to hunt for forgotten words for a crossword puzzle. “Ah, got it” he’d exclaim, his joy coming not from wealth but from simple victories. He would pause puzzles to play with his grandchildren or listen to their stories. Influenced by his love for words, I built my career writing stories for nonprofit, valuing passion over pay. When friends criticized my low earnings, I hesitated. I picked up one of his yellow pencils. Though hurt, I found comfort in readers’ praise online, mirroring Appa’s focus on the bright side. Appa would read aloud to me, training my love for language. By introducing me to the power of words, Appa guided my life’s mission, a purpose I never questioned nor felt the need to explore more cleverly, for it was our shared passion that mattered. While content for many years, I occasionally felt a sense of inner imbalance. At such moments, Appa would remind me: “Money isn’t everything, and more wealth doesn’t mean greater happiness.” You see, a crossword is complete and brings joy — with only so many words, each resting on connections with others. And so now I take assignments, some well-paid, some not, but together, most importantly, they fill me with joy. That is why I remain committed to this career. 1. What did Appa’s yellow pencils symbolize for the writer? A. His unspoken financial regrets. B. His desire for his kids to succeed. C. His commitment to simple joys. D. His perseverance against difficulty. 2. Why did Appa read newspapers thoroughly? A. To improve his writing skills. B. To teach his children language. C. To keep up with the latest news. D. To seek solutions for word puzzles. 3. How did the author feel when starting her writing career? A. Conflicted but recognised. B. Regretful but reflective. C. Indifferent to the feedback. D. Motivated to change jobs. 4. What does the author intend to convey through his story? A. Fortune plays an important role in life. B. Value lies in inner passion and content. C. Career choice prioritizes personal taste. D. Hard work finally leads to great success. Passage 5 （24-25学年高一下·山东寿光·期末） On a bright July day in the Nangili, Kenya, the kids from the village gathered at Blessed Children's Home, a shelter for 11 orphans, to kick around a soccer ball made from waste plastic bags tied tightly together with rope. Blessed Children’s Home has no running water, television or social media. They live on a diet mostly consisting of rice and vegetables. For drinking water, they use collected rainwater and water drawn from a hand-dug unfiltered well. The living conditions were tough for my 15-year-old brother Caleb and me to get used to, but we quickly came to understand that these kids in Nangili have something that many American kids lack. They have friendships resulting from the sufferings they have experienced together, and they have learned to enjoy the simple things in life. Caleb and I are runners on the Farmingdale High School cross-country track team, and we went to Kenya to train at the High Altitude Training Centre in Iten. The training we received from Kenya’s world-class runners was excellent, but our most memorable experiences in Kenya were with the orphans at Blessed Children’s Home. When we arrived there, the children welcomed us warmly. Although Nangili is a very poor village with few resources, its children find joy in playing card games and soccer. We spent many hours a day with them, laughing, running, competing, and playing. Although I missed Farmingdale when I was in Kenya, I gained a new appreciation for all the things we have here. Now I will try to live a life that is more thankful and more focused on people than on things. I want to study business in college so I can help set up social enterprises in Africa that would give opportunities to kids like the orphans I met. They have taught me more than I ever imagined. I realize now that I can learn the deepest life lessons from people with whom I might have thought I had little in common. I look forward to returning to Nangili to play with them again. 1. What does Blessed Children’s Home do? A. It helps poor children survive. B. It shares children’s stories in Kenya. C. It fights for children’s rights in Kenya. D. It takes care of children who don’t have parents. 2. What can we learn about the kids in Nangili from paragraph 2? A. They are on a diet. B. They lead a simple but happy life. C. They have friendships with American kids. D. They are unable to adapt to the living conditions. 3. Why did Caleb and the author go to Kenya? A. To receive training. B. To do sightseeing. C. To study Kenya’s history. D. To teach in a children’s home. 4. What does the author mainly want to tell us? A. Children like playing card games and soccer. B. Nangili is a very poor village with few resources. C. We should be grateful for what we have and the people around us. D. It is wise to make friends with people having little in common with us. 主题01 人与社会 Passage 1 （24-25学年高一下·山东邹城·期末） When Capt. Greg Galeazzi joined the Army seven years ago, he was well aware of the risks of injuries or even death he would face. In 2011, the risks became Galeazzi’s reality — he got terribly injured in an explosion where he lost his double legs. “I was a shell of a man,” he said. “Who I was, was gone.” Before his injury, playing the guitar had been a special pastime for Galeazzi. Music had always been important to him. He felt deep sadness because he thought he’d lost his ability to play music. However, everything changed when Galeazzi joined MusiCorps, a music rehabilitation (康复) program for severely wounded soldiers who are recovering at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center. “We match the injured troops with professional musicians,” said Arthur Bloom, who founded the program in 2007. “They help wounded soldiers play music and recover their lives.” Bloom, a graduate of the Yale School of Music, offers his services to patients at Walter Reed who have an interest in playing an instrument. Program participants practice technique, write and record music. Or they may just get together for a jam session (即兴演奏会). The journey to recovery for many soldiers is a long one. It can require dozens of operations and many years spent in hospitals. There’s so much downtime at Walter Reed, and that’s what they fill up with music. Since 2007, Bloom and his group have helped hundreds of wounded soldiers. For Galeazzi, joining MusiCorps has helped restore his confidence and made him more optimistic about his future. “Something survived that horrible injury in Afghanistan,” Galeazzi said. “Arthur and his program changed my outlook on what is possible.” “I’ve seen guys going through such a hard time with their injuries that they are very withdrawn,” Bloom said. “The music becomes their new way of communicating. It can be just as powerful as the spoken word. By injecting music into this space, we can inject life.” 1. Which of the following is NOT true about Greg Galeazzi? A. He clearly knew the risks he would take of being a soldier. B. He was at one time in total depression about losing his legs. C. Joining MusiCorps started up his enthusiasm in playing music again. D. It was music that played a key role in healing his soul. 2. What does the MusiCorps mainly aim to do according to Arthur? A. To offer the participants professional help on how to produce music. B. To reduce the pain in the participants’ medical treatment. C. To organize music performances by the participants. D. To help the injured soldiers regain confidence in life through music. 3. What is Bloom’s attitude towards music? A. negative B. positive C. indifferent D. neutral 4. What is the best title for the text? A. Music heals the wounded B. Confidence rebuilds one in hopelessness C. He who loses faith, loses all D. Music knows no borders Passage 2 （24-25学年高一下·山东青州·期末） “I am not crazy,” says Dr. William Farber, shortly after performing acupuncture (针灸) on a rabbit. “I am ahead of my time.” If he seems a little defensive, it might be because even some of his coworkers occasionally laugh at his unusual methods. But Farber is certain he’ll have the last laugh. He’s one of a small but growing number of American veterinarians (兽医) now practicing “holistic” medicine-combining traditional Western treatments with acupuncture, chiropractic (按摩疗法) and herbal medicine. Farber, a graduate of Colorado State University, started out as a more conventional veterinarian. He became interested in alternative treatments 20 years ago when he suffered from terrible back pain. He tried muscle-relaxing drugs but found little relief. Then he tried acupuncture, an ancient Chinese practice, and was amazed that he improved after two or three treatments. What worked on a veterinarian seemed likely to work on his patients. So, after studying the techniques for a couple of years, he began offering them to pets. Leigh Tindale’s dog Charlie had a serious heart condition. After Charlie had a heart attack, Tindale says, she was prepared to put him to sleep, but Farber’s treatments eased her dog’s suffering so much that she was able to keep him alive for an additional five months. And Priscilla Dewing reports that her horse, Nappy, “moves more easily and rides more comfortably” after a chiropractic adjustment. Farber is certain that the holistic approach will grow more popular with time, and if the past is any indication, he may be right: Since 1982, membership in the American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association has grown from 30 to over 700. “Sometimes it surprises me that it works so well,” he says. “I will do anything to help an animal. That’s my job.” 1. What do some of Farber’s coworkers think of him? A. He’s odd. B. He’s strict. C. He’s brave. D. He’s rude. 2. Why did Farber decide to try acupuncture on pets? A. He was trained in it at university. B. He was inspired by another veterinarian. C. He benefited from it as a patient. D. He wanted to save money for pet owners. 3. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. Steps of a chiropractic treatment. B. The complexity of veterinarians’ work. C. Examples of rare animal diseases. D. The effectiveness of holistic medicine. 4. Why does the author mention the American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association? A. To prove Farber’s point. B. To emphasize its importance. C. To praise veterinarians. D. To advocate animal protection. Passage 3 （24-25学年高一下·山东济南·期末） Artificial intelligence (AI) is putting itself into our daily lives, from the moment we unlock our phones with facial recognition to the recommendations that guide our music playlists or online shopping. Understanding how this powerful technology will change our daily activities and experiences is significant. But that isn’t the whole picture. We also need to pay close attention to how we build and shape AI itself, and what that process shows us about ourselves. Every AI system we create functions as a mirror, clearly reflecting our values and views. Consider hiring algorithms (算法). In 2018, a large USA firm gave up an AI-powered hiring tool after discovering it was one-sided against female applicants. The AI wasn’t programmed to differentiate, but it was trained on historical hiring data that favored men, and it learned to reproduce these models. The use of AI systems in the police area, healthcare, and education reveals similar patterns. In all these cases, AI isn’t creating new unfair opinions. Instead, it is reflecting existing ones. As long as AI is trained on human data, it will reflect human behavior. That means we have to think carefully about the traces of ourselves we leave in the world. I may claim to value privacy, but if I give it up in a heartbeat to access a website, the algorithms may make a very different judgement of what I really want and what is good for me. If I claim to want meaningful human connections yet spend more time on social media and less time in the physical company of my friends, I am training AI models about the true nature of humanity. AI not only reveals problems within the systems, but also clearly shows people’s inner struggles. As AI grows stronger, we must try harder to make sure our actions follow our principles. As we continue to integrate (融合) AI into our lives, we must recognize that these systems don’t just predict our behavior; they reflect our character. Reflecting on that reflection allows us to make better, more principled choices, but only if we’re willing to look closely and take responsibility for what we see. 1. What does “the whole picture” mean in Paragraph 1? A. The process of building and shaping AI. B. The takeover of AI in our everyday life. C. The dilemma of AI in decision-making. D. The interplay between AI and humans. 2. What is the author’s purpose in mentioning hiring algorithms? A. To support an argument. B. To state a phenomenon. C. To showcase a practice. D. To oppose an opinion. 3. What does the author advise us to do? A. Hide emotional struggles. B. Delete historical database. C. Suit the action to the word. D. Avoid AI in sensitive areas. 4. What does the underlined part “that reflection” in the last paragraph refer to? A. AI melts into our lives. B. AI mirrors our mindset. C. We make wise choices. D. We remain responsible. Passage 4 （24-25学年高一下·山东烟台·期末） Madagascar is home to amazing forest ecosystems, many of which are at risk due to human activities. UNESCO’s professional training programme is giving hands-on skills to over 60 young people, unlocking new careers with environmental efforts. Jean, a young local guy, worked for a long time as a day labourer, taking on various dangerous jobs in construction. “I could only earn about $7 per day at such dangerous conditions,” he explains. His situation changed completely when he joined UNESCO’s BIOCOM project training programme, which aims to give job choices of preventing the destructive use of forest resources and supporting environmental protection for communities living in and around Madagascar’s national parks. After the training, Jean became a metalworker and created eco-friendly park facilities, like trash bins and signposts, reducing wood consumption. He now earns $20 daily, proving green jobs pay better and protect forests. Despite Jean’s individual success, there are broader challenges. In his community, many young people face challenges in completing education and obtaining training. Half of those who enter secondary school fail to graduate. Lacking opportunities, many turn to harvest resources directly in the surrounding national parks, often in unsustainable ways, which threatens the other two BIOCOM project sites: Marojejy National Park and Andohahela National Park, both of which have been on the List of World Heritage in Danger since 2010. UNESCO’s program equips regional youth with skills for green careers. This helps prevent unsustainable local practices, such as cutting down trees illegally and overuse of firewood. For Jean, the impact of these training programs goes beyond himself. “Thanks to these training programs, we’ve become pioneers, showing the young in our villages that other career paths are out there and within reach,” he said. Jean’s example shows sustainable work can rebuild communities. UNESCO’s training programme in Madagascar lights hope, benefiting both the young and the environment in the long run. 1. What does Jean think of his previous work? A. Risky and low-paid. B. Pioneering but boring. C. Stressful and fast-paced. D. Meaningful but time-consuming. 2. What’s the purpose of the training programme? A. To better locals’ living standards. B. To advance the tourism industry. C. To provide environmental career options. D. To help the young complete education. 3. Why are the two national parks mentioned in paragraph 4? A. To prove the necessity of the project. B. To highlight young people’s preference for them. C. To compare their roles in conducting the project. D. To call for international attention to park maintenance. 4. Which of the following can describe the programme? A. Temporary. B. Far-reaching. C. Short-sighted. D. Entertaining. 主题02 人与自我 Passage 1 （24-25学年高一下·山东聊城·期末） I grew up hearing, “Figure it out, but don’t look it up.” I use this advice when I’m tempted (诱惑) to turn to a search engine for answers. Should all of us limit our use of technology? Nicholas G. Carr, the author of The Shallows: What the Internet Is Doing to Our Brains, says that we should take some time away from screens. “Deep thinking happens only when our minds are calm and attentive.” It is difficult to focus while we are using the Internet. People tend to look up a question and end up skimming (浏览) through unrelated information. Some people might not even notice when they start mindlessly clicking. David Price, a guest blogger on a website, says that teaching may be getting easier with Google because parents can now use the Internet to help with their kids’ homework. This led me to think about our schooldays. When my class had a math test, most of us used calculators (计算器) at every chance even though everyone in that room was able to solve each problem without them. It’s similar to the Internet; we know the answers to many questions we search for. We need to at least attempt to use our minds for problem-solving, or we risk losing the ability to do so. If we always turn to technology for answers, we’ll never learn anything on our own. Actually, the problems with technology arise only when it is used in a certain way, but it’s not the solution to every problem. The positives of technology don’t remove the negatives. It’s time to take a step back from technology and take a break from our reliance on it. 1. What may happen when using the Internet according to paragraph 2? A. We’ll find it hard to think deeply. B. We’ll respond quickly to information. C. We’ll solve problems more reasonably. D. We’ll become less eager to solve problems. 2. Why does the author mention his school math test? A. To show different learning strategies in various settings. B. To stress the importance of independent learning. C. To express his agreement with Price’s opinion. D. To praise the development of technology. 3. What is the author’s opinion on technology? A. It requires thoughtful and balanced application. B. It should be developed with combined efforts. C. It should encourage more human creativity. D. It needs greater availability to serve people. Passage 2 （24-25学年高一下·山东临沂·期末） When seven-year-old Suzanne Heywood was told her family would sail the world for three years, she imagined thrilling adventures. Instead, this journey trapped her at sea for a decade. Her British parents sought to recreate Captain Cook’s 18th- century voyage — a dream that became her childhood nightmare. While her parents called this trip a “free and glorious journey,” Suzanne has since compared it to being imprisoned. Trapped on the boat with no formal schooling, she was limited to the wooden boat and endless horizons. “Father promised we’d return to our dog and friends in three years,” Suzanne recalls in her book Wavewalker.” “But ten years passed before I touched English soil again — years without classrooms or playground friendships.” A few months after they left England, they were hit by an enormous wave. The wave crashed over the back of the boat and Suzanne was seriously injured. “My head bone cracked, nose broken, blood mixing with seawater.” She recalls. Washed ashore on a faraway Indian island, she underwent an emergency head operation — without anesthetics. “The doctor used basic tools; I bit a leather belt to silence screams.” As it became clear her parents had no intentions of going back, Suzanne decided to educate herself, as education was the only way to get off the boat and have a normal life. At thirteen, she registered in an Australian correspondence course. nights unfolded in her rocking cabin (船舱); a shaking oil lamp lightening math problems, geography maps pinned to damp walls. “I struggled daily,” she admits. Her parents always wanted her to work rather than spend days in books. However, this time she didn’t give in, as that was her only lifeline. Despite these difficulties, she landed a spot at Oxford University. Today, her bestselling book inspires millions. Readers worldwide declare: “Your escape from the waves proves we can have our own futures!” 1. What expectation did Suzanne have about the voyage in the beginning? A. She would be trapped on the sea. B. She would have a childhood nightmare. C. She would experience exciting adventures. D. She would recreate Captain Cook’s wonder. 2. What did Suzanne think of her life at sea in Paragraph 2? A. It was a separation from normal life. B. It was an opportunity to broaden horizons. C. It was a challenging training to be a sailor. D. It was a glorious journey to explore the sea. 3. What does the underlined word “that” in Paragraph 4 refer to? A. Working on board. B. Getting parental support. C. Educating herself. D. Completing the voyage. 4. What does the author’s experience show? A. Think twice before you act. B. East or west, home is best. C. A good turn deserves another. D. Where there is a will, there is a way. Passage 3 （24-25学年高一下·山东青岛·期末） Soon after Mr. & Mrs. Bacchus started farming their little patch of land, they faced a major problem — a plague of birds fed on their precious crops. Then, a man stopped on the road outside their house, and asked the couple if he could take photographs of the birds on the property. Afterwards, he suggested that instead of trying to get rid of the birds, they should instead learn to live alongside them, and Maraksacha Reserve was born. Today, the couple credit this man, the celebrated bird photographer Manu Espinosa, with changing their lives, and helping them persuade others of the vital importance of conservation in this region. Birding tourism is flourishing in Ecuador, with increasing numbers of specialist tour groups. Ecuador contains a variety of ecosystems at differing elevations, which helps explain why it’s among the top 10 countries in the world for bird diversity. The country is home to over 1,600 bird species — nearly double the number found in all of Europe — within an area just slightly larger than the UK. As the business of birding grows, more and more farmers are switching their land from agriculture to bird reserves, benefiting not just the birds, but the country’s economy too. One notable example is the Ajila family, who have devoted themselves to preserving the long-wattled umbrellabird. On his land near Recinto, landowner Luis Ajila has switched from dairy farming to conservation, replanting trees and promoting the site to wildlife tourists — work that he says is a better livelihood than farming. “Wildlife tourism is much more profitable than farming, but that wasn’t our only motivation,” says Luis Jr., Ajila’s son. “We aimed to protect not just the umbrellabird, but all the unique wildlife here, safeguarding them for future generations.” Since 2005, Angel Paz has transformed his former dairy farm into a bird reserve. At first, things didn’t go to plan: it took a month for the first visitor to arrive, and he paid just $10 for a four-hour tour. Since then, however, thousands of people have made the pilgrimage. “I have protected my home and its birdlife for almost two decades, and finally watched the wildlife — and the people who visit — flourish,” Angel Paz says. 1. What advice did the photographer give to the couple? A. Photographing the birds. B. Coexisting with the birds. C. Protecting their precious crops. D. Taking care of their property. 2. What is paragraph 3 of the text mainly about? A. How Ecuador is geographically unique. B. What distinguishes Ecuador’s biodiversity. C. What makes Ecuador a birding destination. D. How birding tourism is operated in Ecuador. 3. What have the Ajila family achieved? A. Helping other farmers shake off poverty. B. Combining profitability with sustainability. C. Applying new technology in modern farming. D. Changing the landscapes of their residential areas. 4. What can we learn from Ángel Paz’s story? A. Well begun is half done. B. It takes time to bear fruit. C. The early bird catches the worm. D. The secret to success is adaptability. Passage 4 （24-25学年高一下·山东淄博·期末） Katalin Karikó, a Hungarian-born biochemist known for her pioneering research into RNA treatment, was awarded the 2023 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. Growing up in a small village, Karikó expressed an interest in nature and excelled academically in science from an early age. After graduating with a doctoral degree, she accepted a position at a Biological Research Centre in Hungary, where she began her investigations of modified nucleosides(核苷). Due to the lack of financial (财政) support for her research, Karikó moved to two different institutions for research in the US, where she made advances that inspired her to explore further. After varieties of failures in applying her findings to medical experiments, which cost large amounts of money, she finally made a major breakthrough, fueled by the urgency to develop a vaccine(疫苗) that could help prevent or reduce the severity of infection. Unlike traditional vaccine development, the generation of mRNA vaccines is relatively rapid, which contributes much to the whole world. Karikó was no stranger to awards. In addition to the Nobel Prize, her work was recognized with numerous honors, including the Lewis S. Rosenstiel Award for Distinguished Work in Basic Medical Research in 2020, the Lasker-DeBakey Medical Research Award in 2021 as well as the Louisa Gross Horwitz Prize in 2021. In an interview on her success. she said “I suppose the message of all about this is that perseverance can pay off in the end. I believe in the first 14 years of your life—your teens, your parents, your teachers and your friends. They shape you the person who you will be. ” When asked how to balance her career and the family, her words were “I try to tell fellow female scientists that you don’t have to choose between having a family or career, you can have it, and that you just don’t have to over-assist your child. Your children will watch you and then they will follow. That’s what comes—the example you present. ” 1. What’s the major problem for Karikó’s early research? A. The shortage of funding. B. Her countless failures. C. The lack of inspiration. D. Her different nationality. 2. What can we learn about Karikó? A. She received poor education in childhood. B.

Determined but mean. C. Brilliant and perseverant. D. Intelligent but dependent. 主题03 人与自然 Passage 1 （24-25学年高一下·山东威海·期末） In a world where tree-dwelling animals (树栖动物) must brave traffic every day just to find lunch, a Brazilian biologist called Fernanda Abra is stepping in to help — by building special rope bridges that let animals stay in the trees and avoid the dangers below. The idea came to Abra years ago when she spotted a Groves’ titi monkey — a species close to extinction — sitting dangerously close to a road. “It was totally left unprotected from cars,” she recalls. That moment set off a mission to protect Brazil’s wildlife, which loses about 475million wild animals yearly to car accidents. Partnering with the native people. Abra started the Reconecta Project. Together, they’ve built over 30 canopy (树冠) bridges along a long highway through the Amazon. These overpasses aren’t just simple rope-and-wood structures. Each bridge is a high-tech design, equipped with cameras to monitor animals crossing. The videos show which species are frequent crossers, and which ones still avoid the bridges. The data helps improve designs, turning unwilling animals into regular crossers. But the bridges do more than protect animals from being killed on the road. By reconnecting once-separated forest areas, they help animals move around more easily, find food, and even meet partners. For species that live alone, this could mean more chances to survive and grow their populations. Abra’s work couldn’t be timelier. The fast growth of road construction in Brazil is hurting the natural homes of animals. Yet her team isn’t just building bridges — they’re adding speed bumps (减速带) on roads and posting animal-crossing signs to remind drivers they’ re sharing the roads. The project’s success has even caught global attention, mirroring efforts like California’s mountain lion-friendly freeway overpass. Now, Reconecta is branching out. Abra is bringing together government departments, nonprofits, and universities to weave more green threads across Brazil’s road network. “Brazil has an amazing biodiversity (生物多样性),” she said. “I will do everything that I can to protect this rich biodiversity.” 1. What was the direct reason for Abra to start Reconecta? A. Desiring to partner with natives. B. Knowing the yearly animal death rate. C. Noticing animals endangered by traffic. D. Worrying about the loss of Amazon rainforest. 2. What are the cameras on the canopy bridges used to do? A. Help animals to find food. B. Monitor species populations. C. Scare off enemies for monkeys. D. Record crossings for better designs. 3. Why is California’s freeway overpass mentioned? A. To point out timely actions are needed. B. To introduce a new method for animal protection. C. To show the Reconecta Project is getting global attention. D. To stress shared challenges in road construction worldwide. 4. What is the passage mainly about? A. The lifelines built in the treetops for wildlife. B. The value of protecting Amazon’s biodiversity. C. The need for combined efforts to protect wildlife. D. The risks caused by Brazil’s highway development. Passage 2 （24-25学年高一下·山东潍坊·期末） When students at Brown University enter their campus fitness center and step on a certain treadmill (跑步机), they aren’t only working out. They’re also producing electricity to power the very building they’re in. Brown’s Nelson Fitness Center recently housed a series of cardio (有氧的) machines, made by the company SportsArt, that change human energy into electricity. The gym equipment came about thanks to a student project several years before. Elina Pipa, now a senior at Brown, took a class on climate solutions. The course required students to develop a business case for a real-world climate solution. While some may have imagined distant situations, Pipa chose to focus on something closer to home: Brown University’s own exercise center. Soon, Pipa’s idea became a reality. Gym-goers can see the impact directly. Along with your time or miles, the SportsArt equipment also shows the “instant watts (瓦特)” based on your pace. SportsArt says its equipment can produce up to 220 watt hours of electricity per hour of workout. In a separate test, one reporter found that 30 minutes of walking created about 80 watt hours of electricity, enough to power an LED light for about six hours. “It was super exciting because you could see that there is an impact,” she says. “When you see that even your gym equipment can do something, you start understanding it is possible to have habits in your life that are positive for the environment.” This gym equipment is in place now -with even more machines on the way, she says. The fact shows that students don’t have to wait until they graduate to take climate action. “You don’t need to reinvent the wheel to have an impact,” she says. “Sometimes it’s about taking an existing idea and running with it.” 1. What is special about Brown University fitness center? A. It is powered by workouts. B. It has traditional treadmills. C. It offers tailored fitness plans. D. It provides free fitness classes. 2. What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about? A. A task from SportsArt. B. The origin of Pipa’s idea. C. A project of Brown University. D. The solution to a business case. 3.
