That was the scene and sounds of my classroom as I guided young minds through different adventures. At our school’s learning center, I led a program that ranged from simple art projects and sports games to hands-on science experiments. We painted colorful pictures, kicked soccer balls across the field, and watched vinegar and baking soda fizz in clear cups. Every activity turned our classroom into a place for discovery and fun. I enjoyed spending time with the kids I was helping and learning alongside. That was my favorite part about the program. One memorable class involved making bubbles (肥皂泡). The children ran after the floating bubbles, shouting with delight, and I felt like a child again, caught up in their wonder. That simple game showed me how small joys can turn a normal day into something special. The positive effect of our classes rippled throughout the school. Other students noticed how happy our classroom sounded. They began to join in, and soon the entire learning center felt warmer and more welcoming. However, as I started this journey, I found it hard to stay calm when the children became noisy. But as I spent more time with them, I learned patience, kindness, and how to show empathy (同理心). I discovered that gentle words and clear instructions could turn disorder into order. My “little friends” taught me as much as I taught them. The energy and joy that filled the room not only impacted the children but left a long-lasting mark on me. They made me realize that education goes beyond textbooks. It’s about caring for each student, fanning their curiosity, and discovering the wonders of the world, one activity at a time. 1．What is a feature of the program? A．It focuses on appreciating art. B．It leads students to love nature. C．It holds various fun activities. D．It teaches students how to cook. 2．Why does the author mention the class about making bubbles? A．To remind us how to act like a child. B．To recall the moment in her childhood. C．To highlight the joy of teaching kids. D．To explain the importance of teamwork. 3．What does the underlined word “rippled” in paragraph 4 mean? A．Shook. B．Spread. C．Differed. D．Ended. 4．What can we learn from the author’s story? A．Teaching is learning. B．Think twice before you act. C．Hard work pays off. D．A miss is as good as. a mile. Passage 2 (24-25高一下·河南信阳商城县观庙高中等多校联考·期末) A New York food bank was offered a large donation of fresh fish last month — but the gift came with a difficulty. LocalCoho,a New York salmon (鲑鱼) farm that was closing, wanted to give 18,100kilograms of salmon to the Food Bank of Central New York. The high-quality meat could feed thousands of families. However, the gift fish were still alive and swimming in the farm’s large pool. The organization needed to find a way to remove about 13,000 salmon from the pool and, later, process them into food. And the food aid group needed to do all this quickly, before the business closed forever at the end of January. Thanks to many volunteers, the group was able to empty the pool in time, place the fish in cold storage and transport them to a processer. Brian McManus is the food bank’s chief operations officer. He said that the short amount of time to complete the operation made activities difficult. But he said, “I knew that we had the will. I knew we had the skill.” Christina Hudson Kohler was among the volunteers who got into the water to collect the fish and put them into the cold storage containers. “It’s a little bit different,” Kohler said during a break. “In the past, my volunteer work with the food bank has been sorting carrots or peppers...” LocalCoho was a new company that had been developing a sustainable (可持续的) salmon farming system. The system uses recycled water. The company had been supplying salmon to buyers, including restaurants, with the goal of building farms across the country. But company officials said they could not raise enough money from investors (投资者) to grow and make money. So, they decided to close the business. The company did not want the fish to go to waste so it sought a way to donate them. The donation is expected to provide more than 26,000 hard-to-reach meals to hungry people. 1．What problem did the New York food bank meet? A．It had no ability to process food. B．It had to turn the live fish into food. C．It lacked a source of food to hand out. D．It had not enough volunteers to help it. 2．What did the chief operations officer stress about the donation? A．Time was tight to deal with the donation. B．He lacked experience in treating live fish. C．There were no funds for processing live fish. D．The donors were generous enough to donate. 3．What was Christina Hudson Kohler’s volunteer work this time? A．Transporting live fish. B．Processing live fish. C．Sorting vegetables. D．Catching live fish. 4．Why did the new company give up their business? A．Food banks needed fish. B．Salmon are not popular. C．It lacked money. D．It wasted too much water. Passage 3 (24-25高一下·河南许昌·期末) Celebrating a birthday with family, friends, cake and presents are something most people enjoy. After not celebrating a birthday with a party or cake for more than 10 years, one Burleson teacher got a huge surprise last week. Burleson High School English teacher Kyle Simpler said he came into his classroom on Feb.11, to see streamers (装饰彩纸条) , cake and presents for his 59th birthday from his English class. “I had no idea they would do something like that,” Simpler said. “It was carefully planned.” Simpler said while talking to his students one day, he made an off-hand comment about how he hasn’t had a birthday party or a cake in over 10 years. “They found out that my birthday was coming up,” Simpler said. “They made the cake and even put a picture of a cat on it because I’m always talking about how much I love cats.” As Simpler entered his classroom, some students took a video of his reaction (反应) to the party and posted it online. As the weekend went on, the video became a hit as millions of people around the world tuned in (观看). Simpler said people from England, Australia and the Netherlands were messaging him to wish him happy birthday. “Everyone has a cake for their birthday, and I thought we have to do this,” BHS senior Karlie Moran said, “We love him. This is a college-level class and he made it less stressful with his personality.” BHS Principal Wayne Leek said the school is lucky to have Simpler as a teacher. “Mr. Simple r is a teacher that really cares about his students and their success,” Leek said. “His students know that he not only holds high expectations for all but is always there to support each and every one of them.

Passage 4 (24-25高一下·河南信阳普通高中·期末) A brave man became a real-life hero after saving a man in danger during a paddleboarding(桨板冲浪)accident at Saunton Sands, north Devon. This heartwarming story highlights how courage, quick thinking, and proper training can change lives forever. On April 25,24-year-old Oscar, a senior member of the Saunton Sands Surf Life-Saving Club, noticed something unusual in the rough waves. Sixty-year-old Gavin Bowden had been struck by his paddleboard and was struggling to stay afloat. “I couldn’t move my arms or legs. I kept shouting ‘help!’” Gavin recalled. Despite his young age, Oscar didn’t hesitate. He grabbed his rescue board and rushed into the water. The waves were strong, but Oscar’s training took over. He carefully positioned Gavin onto the board and used his body to stabilize the injured man. “I locked my arms with him so he wouldn’t slip away,” Oscar explained. For 30 tense minutes, he stayed calm, reassuring Gavin by asking about his family and keeping him conscious. Meanwhile, Oscar signaled to his father onshore for backup. Finally, a rescue team arrived and rushed Gavin to the hospital. Doctors later confirmed that Gavin had suffered a neck injury. Two weeks after the accident, Gavin met Oscar again. With tears in his eyes, he hugged the man and said, “You’re my real hero.” Oscar’s parents proudly listened as Gavin praised their son’s bravery. “He’s so great. He saved my life,” Gavin told them. When asked about his fears during the rescue, Oscar admitted, “Gavin’s much bigger than me, and I wasn’t sure if I could lift him. But I knew I had to try.” Neil Phillips, Oscar’s coach at the surf club, called the rescue “textbook perfect”. He explained, “Oscar followed every step: protecting the injured person, keeping him calm, and waiting for professional help. Many people would panic in such a situation.” 1．What was Gavin doing when the accident happened? A．He was swimming in the sea. B．He was practicing paddleboarding.

Passage 5 (24-25高一下·河南南阳宛城区等2地·期末) In a quiet corner of Montreal, Canada, 72-year-old Elaine McBride has spent the past decade breathing new life into abandoned books. Her small basement workshop, lined with shelves of torn classics and water-stained novels, is a haven for literature that others regarded beyond repair. “Every book has a story worth preserving,” she says, her fingers brushing the worn cover of a 1940s edition of Pride and Prejudice. McBride’s mission began accidentally. After retiring from her job as a librarian, she came across a pile of damaged books destined for landfill. Horrified by the waste, she taught herself bookbinding and restoration techniques through online tutorials and old craft manuals. “I started with glue and patience,” she laughs. Now, her tools include specialized paperweights, acid-free adhesives, and a vintage press passed down from her grandfather. Over the years, McBride has restored over 2,000 books, donating most to community centers, schools, and prisons. One of her most memorable projects was reviving a fire-damaged copy of The Little Prince for a local children’s hospital. “The child who received it traced the charred (烧焦的) pages and said, ‘Now it’s like me — burned but still loved,’” she recalls. Her work has also inspired a group of teenagers from a nearby high school to join her, learning the art of restoration while listening to her stories of literary history. McBride’s efforts highlight a quiet revolution in a digital age: the belief that physical books hold irreplaceable value. “In a world of screens, these pages are tangible memories,” she says. Though her hands now ache after long hours, she shows no sign of slowing down. “Each book I save is a promise that stories outlive their shelves.” 1．What inspired Elaine McBride to start restoring books? A．A desire to teach others craft skills. B．The sight of books being thrown away. C．Her grandpa’s old bookbinding tools. D．A childhood love for classic literature. 2．Why does the author mention the fire damaged The Little Prince? A．To illustrate McBride’s technical skills. B．To stress the emotional impact of her work. C．To compare different restoration challenges. D．To show the popularity of children’s books. 3．What can be inferred from the words of McBride in paragraph 4? A．Stories need new bookshelves to stay popular. B．Damaged books can hardly carry any stories. C．McBride promises to keep worn books restored. D．Physical books can go beyond the physical form. 4．Which words best describe Elaine McBride? A．Brave and responsible. B．Selfish and greedy. C．Patient and generous. D．Ambitious and decisive. 主题02 人与自我——生活与学习 Passage 1 (24-25高一下·河南鹤壁·期末) When Gary Leung completely lost his eyesight nearly 15 years ago, it almost destroyed him. The Hong Kong native fell into hopelessness. Just at that time, he found long-distance running. Now in his 50s, Leung has since completed the 100-kilometer Antarctic Ice Marathon, becoming the first blind person to do so. He even attempted the 400 km “Ultra Gobi”, thought to be one of the most challenging foot-races in the world. Recently, he is fresh off a 2,300 km charity run in Japan. The Japanese “Dark Run 2023” was divided into 40 days, meaning Leung and his guide runners—connected by a string attachment—ran an average of more than 50 km per day. The run was aimed at raising money for young people with serious illnesses and showing them that all people have obstacles (障碍), but we must face them head-on and with bravery. Though Leung can’t physically see things in front of him, he says that doesn’t make him fearful of running long distances now. He thinks there’s no need to be scared for those who are lacking in something. The universe will equip them with other talents. And they are never alone, just like he wasn’t alone on this run. His guide runners gave up their own holidays and put their own money in to fly over and support him. “I want to pass down the spirit. I’m not young anymore and won’t be able to run these distances much longer,” he says, smiling. “I want to help my younger friends with similar experiences to learn to love exercise. Doing physical activities is not as easy for them as it is for able-bodied people, so I want to set up a stage where we can continue to bring things to them—and for them to do the same for more.” 1．What does long-distance running mean for Leung? A．A cure for his eyes. B．A tool for making a living. C．A way out of life’s worst. D．A form of physical exercise. 2．How does Leung finish all his long-distance running? A．He was guided while running. B．He managed it by himself. C．He sought help from the organizers. D．He took advantage of public transport. 3．What can be inferred from Leung’s words in the last paragraph? A．He is ready to challenge longer running. B．He is too tired to go on with charity work. C．He wants young people to follow his example. D．He thinks running is easy for the blind to take up. 4．Which words can best describe Leung? A．Humorous and honest. B．Strong-willed and inspiring. C．Responsible and outgoing. D．Independent and warm-hearted. Passage 2 (24-25高一下·河南周口黄泛区部分学校·期末) My day was ruined before I even got out of bed. I reached over to my smartphone. First things first: go through the e-mails. One came from my publisher, saying my new novel would be published in two weeks. I opened the e-mail and found a link to a pre-publication review from a famous professional. I had never been so proud of, excited by, or confident in anything I’d ever written before. I read the review, taking deep breaths as I saw words like “messy” “mismatched” “saccharine (故作多情的)” and “overly sentimental”. My spirits dropped. I read and reread that review until each scathing word was stuck in my head. How could that professional find nothing worthy in a story I felt was perfect? In the following week, I started to beat myself up. Soon, I was up to my eyeballs in a quicksand of self-doubt. A few days after the novel’s official release (发行), I felt like hiding in a hole until my publisher asked if I was going to promote the book. I woke up like a dreamer. I cheered up and spent hours each week contacting hundreds of book bloggers and other reviewers. I wrote personal messages, respectfully asking them to read the novel and share their honest thoughts and opinions online. The more I promoted, the larger my readership grew and so did my popularity. My confidence came back bit by bit, and the pain of that first review by the professional gradually disappeared as more reviews poured in — mostly favorable ones. That one simple change in mindset (心态) removed my discouragement and enabled me to believe in myself so I could share my story with the world. By doing so, the novel finally reached those who were meant to find it, those who appreciated what I was trying to say. 1．What was the author’s original reaction when he received the publisher’s e-mail? A．He was uncertain about the publication. B．He immediately started promoting the novel. C．He turned to a professional for help. D．He was filled with pride and confidence. 2．What does the underlined word “scathing” probably mean? A．Responsible. B．Boring. C．Inspiring. D．Sharp. 3．How did the author regain confidence? A．By personally reaching out for honest comments. B．By waiting anxiously for readers to discover the book. C．By depending heavily on the publisher’s marketing team. D．By completely ignoring the unfavorable reviews online. 4．What can we infer from the author’s experience? A．Teamwork is the key to success. B．Professional reviews play an important role. C．A positive attitude leads to a different result. D．Popularity is what matters most to a writer. Passage 3 (24-25高一下·河南安阳滑县部分学校·期末) Baileigh Sinaman-Daniel plays basketball for Lesley University in Cambridge, Massachusetts. While women have been playing college sports for quite a while, Sinaman-Daniel has a unique life journey. The 22-year-old, from Stafford, Virginia, was born with a shortened right arm, but that didn’t stop her from playing basketball. As reported by AP News, Sinaman-Daniel came to Lesley University as a transfer student (转学生) , where her hard work and determination caught the eye of Martin Rather, the women’s basketball coach. According to Rather, she completed more individualized practices than anyone else on the team. Her hard work and commitment helped lead the Lynx to their best season in 14 years. It is also this determination that helped Sinaman-Daniel make history on December 4, 2024, when she became the first one-armed NCAA Division Ⅲ women’s basketball player to score in a college game. She made a three-point shot that went into the net without hitting the rim (篮筐) . But she wasn’t even aware of the significance of the moment. “I kind of just shot the ball, thinking that I would have to go and get it back on a rebound (篮板球) ,” Sinaman-Daniel said. “When the shot actually went in, I was more surprised.” Rather immediately grasped the significance and called a time-out to celebrate the moment. “That’s history and we need to take a second to pause and celebrate it,” he said. Everybody just surrounded Baileigh, giving her high fives, celebrating her.” Sinaman-Daniel scored two more points seven weeks later, before her team made it to the North Atlantic Conference (NAC) West playoffs and defeated VTSU Lyndon in the quarterfinals on February 21, 2025. Although the team later lost the semifinals to SUNY Cobleskill, Sinaman-Daniel takes pride in what she has already accomplished and believes that her wins can inspire others. 1．What made Sinaman-Daniel stand out when she transferred to Lesley University? A．Her excellent academic performance. B．Her special basketball-playing techniques. C．Her distinct look with a shortened right arm. D．Her great devotion in personalized trainings. 2．What can we infer from Paragraph 3? A．She was modest about her achievement. B．She knew it was a historic moment. C．She often made three-point shots.

Recently there have been news reports and television shows reporting on the quality of school lunches. According to federal (联邦的) guidelines, French fries count as a serving of vegetables. Many parents and others are upset that a salty, deep-fried food is replacing healthier options like carrot sticks. As a result, the potato — what French fries are made of — has been getting a bad rap. “The problem is not the potato,” insists Chris. “Potatoes are very healthy. But any food, even carrots or lettuce (生菜), will be less healthy if it’s cooked in grease (油脂).” Two months ago, Chris decided to eat nothing but potatoes for 60 days. As a high school science teacher and son of a potato farmer, he wanted to do something to draw attention to potatoes as a healthy food and a good choice as part of anyone’s regular meals. “It’s been an interesting experience,” Chris said. “For a while, I wasn’t sure I would make it. I was pretty tired of eating potatoes after a few weeks.” But for Chris there were some benefits that he hadn’t expected. He’s lost 15 pounds and he feels better than he has in years. “I have so much more energy,” he says. “I’ve been running and playing on a local basketball team, and I feel like I’m playing as well as I did when I was in high school.” And Chris has gotten a lot of attention, much more than he expected. “It’s been fantastic. Thousands of people have read my blog. I’ve been sharing recipes and talking about the experience. Every day I get to tell people what a great idea it is to eat potatoes.” Chris is glad to be back to a normal diet, but he still eats potatoes at least 5 or 6 times a week. “Everyone should!” he says with a smile. “Potatoes are healthy and taste great!” 1．What situation do potatoes face? A．They get more and more popular. B．They become good for people’s health. C．They receive little attention. D．They obtain an unfair judgement. 2．Why did Chris decide to eat potatoes only? A．Because potatoes were cheap. B．Because he loved potatoes very much. C．Because he wanted to prove that potatoes were healthy. D．Because he felt like drawing attention to himself. 3．After eating potatoes for a few weeks, how did Chris feel? A．He became less fit. B．He was sick of eating potatoes. C．He felt like giving up his plan. D．He felt that he had put on some weight. 4．Which of the following can best describe Chris? A．Intelligent and selfless. B．Humorous and cooperative. C．Courageous and adventurous. D．Determined and persistent. 主题01 人与社会 Passage 1 (24-25高一下·河南天立教育集团·期末) Tim Wilson, 18, designed a special soft robot: It gives relaxing hugs. Tim’s sister frequently had trouble getting a good night’s sleep as a child. “I saw the effects of poor sleep on her life,” he says. Many of his classmates complained about similar problems. When it was time to do a high-school research project, he decided to deal with “a real need in the world”. His solution — a huggable, co-sleeping robot — brought him a First Award in the Robotics and Intelligent Machines category at Barker College in Sydney, Australia. “Other robotic sleep aids exist. But until now, none could hug back,” Tim says. He started by building a monkey robot and went on to create a koala robot, too. Hugging the robot causes its arms to return the hugger’s hug thanks to the flexible, inflatable tubes (可充气管子) in the robot’s arms. A fiber outside the tubes works like a muscle. His machines do more than return hugs. The robot’s stomach gently rises and falls. “It’s quite comforting,” Tim says. The robot even tries to match its “breathing” rate to the hugger’s. How? A sensor (传感器) inside measures the CO₂ breathed out by the hugger. The robot then tries to mirror how fast the user is breathing. But that part proved tricky. After all, a bedroom fan might be enough to throw off the gas levels. So it’s not always going to be mirroring the user exactly. Therefore, a nice slow breathing rate is preset. Tim believes his robots might help people in other settings, too. Some people benefit from emotional support dogs, for example. But some places might not allow animals. In a super clean hospital, an animal may bring a risk to sick kids. “Being able to relax kids suffering from illnesses is quite a challenging thing,” Tim shares. “But my product could do it.” 1．What inspired Tim to design the robot? A．The widespread sleep trouble. B．His desire to win a robotics competition. C．The lack of robotic sleep aids in the market. D．His interest in studying breathing patterns. 2．What makes Tim’s robot special compared with others? A．Its equipment for removing CO2. B．Its soft and huggable material. C．Its ability to monitor the heart rate. D．Its function of responding to hugs. 3．What can we infer from the last paragraph? A．No animals are allowed in hospitals. B．Tim is confident about his robots’ future. C．Emotional support dogs are no longer popular. D．More improvement is needed for the hugging robots. 4．Which of the following words can best describe Tim? A．Responsible and flexible. B．Honest and hard-working. C．Creative and considerate. D．Humorous and strong-willed.

Passage 3 (24-25高一下·河南三门峡·期末) Tannis Chartier, a third-year University of Lethbridge student in the Therapeutic Recreation Program is providing meaningful opportunities for unhoused people to enjoy recreational pastimes like bingo, movies and karaoke. She got the idea for the Resilient Rec YQL program when she began volunteering at the Soup Kitchen in 2020. “I saw this huge need, ” Chartier said. “We were filling the physical needs of the people, giving them some shelters and food. But we weren’t giving them meaning and purpose, and we weren’t giving them an opportunity to move up and fill their needs to socialize. ” In response, Chartier initially conceived the Resilient Art YQL program and approached the director of the Soup Kitchen about implementing the concept. The Soup Kitchen was on board and provided some funds to buy art supplies and offered their space so that, once a week, people could come to the Soup Kitchen and create art. The finished artworks were posted to a Facebook page and offered for sale, with the profits going to support the needs, like a new pair of boots or a new backpack, of the artist. “We did that for about a year, and it was wonderful, ” she said. “The next summer we organized a day in the park. We went to Henderson Lake and kayaked a little bit and played lawn games. ” Even though the art and park events were successful, Chartier thought more people might attend if the activities had broader appeal. “Some people hear the word ‘art’, and they freak out and don’t come because they think they’re not artistic, ” she said. “So, we changed our name to Resilient Rec YQL and we started running things like bingo nights, movie nights, and karaoke nights-all sorts of fun events. We wanted them to feel at home in an environment where they feel safe to have fun. ” 1．What can we know about Resilient Rec YQL program from paragraph 2? A．Its origin. B．Its challenges.

Passage 4 (24-25高一下·河南开封·期末) Marie Van Brittan Brown, an African American nurse living in Jamaica, Queens in the 1960s, was working in shifts, as was her husband, Albert, an electronics technician. When she arrived home late, she sometimes felt afraid. Serious crimes in Queens jumped nearly 32 percent from 1960 to 1965, and police were slow to respond to emergency calls. Marie wanted to feel safer at home. With the help of her husband, Marie imagined a device that could be attached to the front door. It would offer four small holes, and through these, a video camera on the inside could view visitors of different heights as the host turned the camera up and down. The camera was connected to a television monitor inside. A microphone on the outside of the door and a speaker inside allowed the host to interrogate a visitor, while an alarm could inform police via radio. Closed-circuit television (CCTV), invented during World War II for military use, was not widespread in the 1960s, and the Browns proposed using the technology to create the first modern home security system. They filed a patent for their device in 1966, citing(提及) Marie as the lead inventor. It was approved three years later. “The equipment is not in production,” The New York Times reported, “but the Browns hope to interest manufacturers and home builders.” That never happened. “The cost of installing(安装) it widely would be pretty high,” says Robert McCrie, an emergency management expert at John Jay College of Criminal Justice in Manhattan. Marie’s invention, though it didn’t benefit them financially, would earn the Browns a measure of recognition in the technology world: The predecessor(前身) of today’s home security systems, it has been cited(引用) in 35 U.S. patents. 1．What can be learned about Marie? A．She lived in a dangerous neighborhood. B．She worked as an electronics technician. C．She went home with her husband every day. D．She was afraid of making an emergency call. 2．What does the underlined word “interrogate” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A．Attract. B．Frighten. C．Welcome. D．Question. 3．What was the problem with the Browns’ system? A．It was considered to be a silly invention. B．It was thought little of by the then police. C．It was too expensive to be mass-produced. D．It was illegal to be used by ordinary people. 4．What can we say about Marie and her husband? A．They contributed a lot to CCTV. B．They were generous and responsible. C．They helped reduce crime in the 1960s. D．They were intelligent and worthy of respect. Passage 5 (24-25高一下·河南南阳方城县第一高级中学·期末) The conflict between Harvard University and the US government regarding the ban on international students has drawn global attention. The US government’s sudden decision to prohibit international students from studying at Harvard has sent shockwaves through the educational world. One of the main reasons the US government gave for the ban was national security threats allegedly posed by international students. However, Harvard has vehemently refuted this claim. The university emphasizes that international students have always abided by US laws and regulations and have made positive contributions to the academic and social life on campus. For instance, many international students actively participate in community service activities organized by the university, promoting cultural exchange and understanding. In addition, Harvard highlights that the ban will have a negative impact on the entire US higher-education system. International students contribute not only to the academic diversity but also to the economic development of the country. They pay tuition fees, which support the operation of universities and create job opportunities. Moreover, the knowledge and skills they acquire in the US may lead to future cooperation and exchanges between different countries. The lawsuit filed by Harvard is not just for its own sake but also for the principle of fairness and the future of international education in the US. The university hopes that the court will carefully consider the case and make a just decision that respects the rights of international students and the freedom of academic exchange. 1．What was the reaction of the educational world to the US government’s ban on international students at Harvard? A．They were happy about it. B．They paid little attention to it. C．They were shocked. D．They supported the US government. 2．Why did the US government ban international students according to the passage? A．Because international students caused economic problems. B．Because international students were considered a national security threat. C．Because international students didn’t like American culture. D．Because international students didn’t get along well with American students. 3．What positive contributions do international students make according to Harvard? A．They only bring economic benefits. B．They participate in community service and promote cultural exchange. C．They help the US government solve national security problems. D．They make American students more competitive. 4．What is the significance of Harvard’s lawsuit? A．It is only for the university’s own interests. B．It is for the principle of fairness and the future of international education in the US. C．It is to show the university’s power. D．It is to make the US government change its attitude towards Harvard. 主题02 人与自然 Passage 1 (24-25高一下·北京第五十七中学·期末) Satellite images and the latest scientific studies may accurately inform us how quickly the world’s glaciers are melting. But American adventurer Garrett Fisher’s mission is different: to uncover the “souls” of disappearing glaciers — as he believes satellite images can’t replicate (复制) the beauty of glaciers. Many glaciers can’t be accessed on foot, or by drone, and helicopters are extremely expensive. Therefore, Fisher flew an old plane and hung his camera out of the window. “With an aeroplane, I can ‘stand’ in a place where a human can’t stand,” he says. “You can look down into the soul of the glacier from a close perspective.” Fisher has spent two summers photographing the glaciers of the Bernese Alps. He chooses the summer because the glaciers stand out clearly against the surrounding snow. He has to wait for sunshine and then brave violent and unpredictable winds — as well as a lack of oxygen — to climb as high as 14,000 ft in the Bernese Alps. “It takes a long time to wait for the right kind of day. The conventional wisdom is that the wind cannot be higher than 20 knots but I’ve gone up in as much as 50. At high altitudes, the wind tends not to be turbulent (猛烈的) if you’re on the proper side of the mountain. So it’s a lot like surfing this giant wave: if you stay in the right spot, everything’s fine.” In deep valleys, he is usually out of radio contact. If his plane gets into trouble, the glaciers look like a decent emergency runway, but appearances are misleading. “Those cracks are so large that if the engine quits and I go in one, the authorities probably wouldn’t ever find me again,” he says. “The risk is huge, but it’s absolutely worth it.” Fisher’s flying is showing the rapid melting of glaciers. “Everything I’m looking at will be gone in three generations.” He has now set up a non-profit group, the Global Glacier Initiative, with the aim of collecting a personal pictorial record of glaciers to record what is being lost and campaign for more decisive action to fight the climate crisis. “I’m willing to take the next 20 years and go chase every single glacier I can find on the planet,” he says. 1．Fisher photographs glaciers by aeroplane to _______. A．ensure the safety during flight B．catch the beauty of glaciers up close C．stand on some famous glaciers D．collect accurate data of glacier melting 2．What can we learn from Fisher’s photographing experience? A．He coped with high-altitude flying skillfully. B．He chose summer to avoid the unpredictable winds. C．He regarded glaciers as a practical emergency runway. D．He managed to keep contact with the outside in a crack. 3．The last paragraph emphasizes Fisher’s _______. A．anxiety over the rapid melting of glaciers B．determination to record disappearing glaciers C．ambition to set a record for photographing glaciers D．frustration with current actions against climate crisis 4．Which of the following words best describe Fisher? A．Adventurous and far-sighted. B．Optimistic and soft-hearted. C．Talented and strong-willed. D．Devoted and open-minded. Passage 2 (24-25高一下·河南驻马店部分高中联考·期末) Among the many inspiring figures in the world, Jane Goodall stands out as a true icon (偶像). She was born on April 3,1934, in London, England. From childhood, Jane Goodall was fascinated by animals and spent hours observing them in their natural habitats. Whatever difficulties she encounters, Jane Goodall never gives up. After graduating from high school, Goodall worked as a secretary to save money for her trip to Africa she had always dreamed of visiting. In 1960, Goodall’s life took a significant turn when receiving an invitation from renowned archaeologist Louis Leakey to study chimpanzees in Tanzania. With little formal scientific training, she began a journey that would revolutionize our understanding of these magnificent creatures. Living in the remote Gombe Stream National Park, Goodall spent decades observing and documenting the behavior of chimpanzees. She discovered chimpanzees use tools, have complex social structures, and exhibit emotions similar to humans. Her groundbreaking research challenged long-held beliefs about the uniqueness of human beings and opened up new ways of study in the field of primatology (灵长类动物学)。 Goodall’s contributions extend far beyond her scientific research. She is a passionate advocate for conservation and animal welfare. She has established numerous conservation projects worldwide, focusing on protecting chimpanzees and their habitats. She also works to promote environmental education and sustainable development, inspiring the next generation to protect our planet. At present, Goodall continues to travel internationally, working as the UN Messenger of Peace and inspiring people to protect ecology. Awarded numerous honors for her lifelong commitment, she remains a towering figure in both science and activism.

That was the scene and sounds of my classroom as I guided young minds through different adventures. At our school’s learning center, I led a program that ranged from simple art projects and sports games to hands-on science experiments. We painted colorful pictures, kicked soccer balls across the field, and watched vinegar and baking soda fizz in clear cups. Every activity turned our classroom into a place for discovery and fun. I enjoyed spending time with the kids I was helping and learning alongside. That was my favorite part about the program. One memorable class involved making bubbles (肥皂泡). The children ran after the floating bubbles, shouting with delight, and I felt like a child again, caught up in their wonder. That simple game showed me how small joys can turn a normal day into something special. The positive effect of our classes rippled throughout the school. Other students noticed how happy our classroom sounded. They began to join in, and soon the entire learning center felt warmer and more welcoming. However, as I started this journey, I found it hard to stay calm when the children became noisy. But as I spent more time with them, I learned patience, kindness, and how to show empathy (同理心). I discovered that gentle words and clear instructions could turn disorder into order. My “little friends” taught me as much as I taught them. The energy and joy that filled the room not only impacted the children but left a long-lasting mark on me. They made me realize that education goes beyond textbooks. It’s about caring for each student, fanning their curiosity, and discovering the wonders of the world, one activity at a time. 1．What is a feature of the program? A．It focuses on appreciating art.

LocalCoho,a New York salmon (鲑鱼) farm that was closing, wanted to give 18,100kilograms of salmon to the Food Bank of Central New York. The high-quality meat could feed thousands of families. However, the gift fish were still alive and swimming in the farm’s large pool. The organization needed to find a way to remove about 13,000 salmon from the pool and, later, process them into food. And the food aid group needed to do all this quickly, before the business closed forever at the end of January. Thanks to many volunteers, the group was able to empty the pool in time, place the fish in cold storage and transport them to a processer. Brian McManus is the food bank’s chief operations officer. He said that the short amount of time to complete the operation made activities difficult. But he said, “I knew that we had the will. I knew we had the skill.” Christina Hudson Kohler was among the volunteers who got into the water to collect the fish and put them into the cold storage containers. “It’s a little bit different,” Kohler said during a break. “In the past, my volunteer work with the food bank has been sorting carrots or peppers...” LocalCoho was a new company that had been developing a sustainable (可持续的) salmon farming system. The system uses recycled water. The company had been supplying salmon to buyers, including restaurants, with the goal of building farms across the country. But company officials said they could not raise enough money from investors (投资者) to grow and make money. So, they decided to close the business. The company did not want the fish to go to waste so it sought a way to donate them. The donation is expected to provide more than 26,000 hard-to-reach meals to hungry people. 1．What problem did the New York food bank meet? A．It had no ability to process food. B．It had to turn the live fish into food. C．It lacked a source of food to hand out. D．It had not enough volunteers to help it. 2．What did the chief operations officer stress about the donation?

This heartwarming story highlights how courage, quick thinking, and proper training can change lives forever. On April 25,24-year-old Oscar, a senior member of the Saunton Sands Surf Life-Saving Club, noticed something unusual in the rough waves. Sixty-year-old Gavin Bowden had been struck by his paddleboard and was struggling to stay afloat. “I couldn’t move my arms or legs. I kept shouting ‘help!’” Gavin recalled. Despite his young age, Oscar didn’t hesitate. He grabbed his rescue board and rushed into the water. The waves were strong, but Oscar’s training took over. He carefully positioned Gavin onto the board and used his body to stabilize the injured man. “I locked my arms with him so he wouldn’t slip away,” Oscar explained. For 30 tense minutes, he stayed calm, reassuring Gavin by asking about his family and keeping him conscious. Meanwhile, Oscar signaled to his father onshore for backup. Finally, a rescue team arrived and rushed Gavin to the hospital. Doctors later confirmed that Gavin had suffered a neck injury. Two weeks after the accident, Gavin met Oscar again. With tears in his eyes, he hugged the man and said, “You’re my real hero.” Oscar’s parents proudly listened as Gavin praised their son’s bravery. “He’s so great. He saved my life,” Gavin told them. When asked about his fears during the rescue, Oscar admitted, “Gavin’s much bigger than me, and I wasn’t sure if I could lift him. But I knew I had to try.” Neil Phillips, Oscar’s coach at the surf club, called the rescue “textbook perfect”.

Her small basement workshop, lined with shelves of torn classics and water-stained novels, is a haven for literature that others regarded beyond repair. “Every book has a story worth preserving,” she says, her fingers brushing the worn cover of a 1940s edition of Pride and Prejudice. McBride’s mission began accidentally. After retiring from her job as a librarian, she came across a pile of damaged books destined for landfill. Horrified by the waste, she taught herself bookbinding and restoration techniques through online tutorials and old craft manuals. “I started with glue and patience,” she laughs. Now, her tools include specialized paperweights, acid-free adhesives, and a vintage press passed down from her grandfather. Over the years, McBride has restored over 2,000 books, donating most to community centers, schools, and prisons. One of her most memorable projects was reviving a fire-damaged copy of The Little Prince for a local children’s hospital. “The child who received it traced the charred (烧焦的) pages and said, ‘Now it’s like me — burned but still loved,’” she recalls. Her work has also inspired a group of teenagers from a nearby high school to join her, learning the art of restoration while listening to her stories of literary history. McBride’s efforts highlight a quiet revolution in a digital age: the belief that physical books hold irreplaceable value. “In a world of screens, these pages are tangible memories,” she says. Though her hands now ache after long hours, she shows no sign of slowing down. “Each book I save is a promise that stories outlive their shelves.” 1．What inspired Elaine McBride to start restoring books? A．A desire to teach others craft skills. B．The sight of books being thrown away. C．Her grandpa’s old bookbinding tools.

The Hong Kong native fell into hopelessness. Just at that time, he found long-distance running. Now in his 50s, Leung has since completed the 100-kilometer Antarctic Ice Marathon, becoming the first blind person to do so. He even attempted the 400 km “Ultra Gobi”, thought to be one of the most challenging foot-races in the world. Recently, he is fresh off a 2,300 km charity run in Japan. The Japanese “Dark Run 2023” was divided into 40 days, meaning Leung and his guide runners—connected by a string attachment—ran an average of more than 50 km per day. The run was aimed at raising money for young people with serious illnesses and showing them that all people have obstacles (障碍), but we must face them head-on and with bravery. Though Leung can’t physically see things in front of him, he says that doesn’t make him fearful of running long distances now. He thinks there’s no need to be scared for those who are lacking in something. The universe will equip them with other talents. And they are never alone, just like he wasn’t alone on this run. His guide runners gave up their own holidays and put their own money in to fly over and support him. “I want to pass down the spirit. I’m not young anymore and won’t be able to run these distances much longer,” he says, smiling. “I want to help my younger friends with similar experiences to learn to love exercise. Doing physical activities is not as easy for them as it is for able-bodied people, so I want to set up a stage where we can continue to bring things to them—and for them to do the same for more.” 1．What does long-distance running mean for Leung? A．A cure for his eyes. B．A tool for making a living. C．A way out of life’s worst. D．A form of physical exercise. 2．How does Leung finish all his long-distance running? A．He was guided while running. B．He managed it by himself. C．He sought help from the organizers. D．He took advantage of public transport. 3．What can be inferred from Leung’s words in the last paragraph? A．He is ready to challenge longer running. B．He is too tired to go on with charity work. C．He wants young people to follow his example. D．He thinks running is easy for the blind to take up. 4．Which words can best describe Leung? A．Humorous and honest. B．Strong-willed and inspiring. C．Responsible and outgoing. D．Independent and warm-hearted. 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．C 4．B 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了香港盲人Gary Leung通过长跑重获新生，并成为首位完成南极冰马拉松的盲人。他还通过慈善跑步活动激励他人，传递勇敢面对困难的精神。 1．推理判断题。根据文章第一段“When Gary Leung completely lost his eyesight nearly 15 years ago, it almost destroyed him.

I’m not young anymore and won't be able to run these distances much longer,” he says, smiling. “I want to help my younger friends with similar experiences to learn to love exercise. Doing physical activities is not as easy for them as it is for able-bodied people, so I want to set up a stage where we can continue to bring things to them—and for them to do the same for more.”(“我想传承这种精神。我不再年轻了，不能再跑这么长的距离了，”他微笑着说。“我想帮助有类似经历的年轻朋友学会热爱运动。对他们来说，做体育活动并不像对健全人那么容易，所以我想建立一个舞台，让我们可以继续为他们带来一些东西——也让他们为更多的人做同样的事情。”)”可知，Leung想传承这种精神，帮助有类似经历的年轻朋友学会热爱运动，由此可推知，他想让年轻人以他为榜样。故选C项。 4．推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Now in his 50s, Leung has since completed the 100-kilometer Antarctic Ice Marathon, becoming the first blind person to do so. He even attempted the 400 km “Ultra Gobi”, thought to be one of the most challenging foot-races in the world.

I reached over to my smartphone. First things first: go through the e-mails. One came from my publisher, saying my new novel would be published in two weeks. I opened the e-mail and found a link to a pre-publication review from a famous professional. I had never been so proud of, excited by, or confident in anything I’d ever written before. I read the review, taking deep breaths as I saw words like “messy” “mismatched” “saccharine (故作多情的)” and “overly sentimental”. My spirits dropped. I read and reread that review until each scathing word was stuck in my head. How could that professional find nothing worthy in a story I felt was perfect? In the following week, I started to beat myself up. Soon, I was up to my eyeballs in a quicksand of self-doubt. A few days after the novel’s official release (发行), I felt like hiding in a hole until my publisher asked if I was going to promote the book. I woke up like a dreamer. I cheered up and spent hours each week contacting hundreds of book bloggers and other reviewers. I wrote personal messages, respectfully asking them to read the novel and share their honest thoughts and opinions online. The more I promoted, the larger my readership grew and so did my popularity. My confidence came back bit by bit, and the pain of that first review by the professional gradually disappeared as more reviews poured in — mostly favorable ones. That one simple change in mindset (心态) removed my discouragement and enabled me to believe in myself so I could share my story with the world. By doing so, the novel finally reached those who were meant to find it, those who appreciated what I was trying to say. 1．What was the author’s original reaction when he received the publisher’s e-mail? A．He was uncertain about the publication. B．He immediately started promoting the novel. C．He turned to a professional for help. D．He was filled with pride and confidence. 2．What does the underlined word “scathing” probably mean? A．Responsible. B．Boring. C．Inspiring. D．Sharp. 3．How did the author regain confidence? A．By personally reaching out for honest comments. B．By waiting anxiously for readers to discover the book. C．By depending heavily on the publisher’s marketing team. D．By completely ignoring the unfavorable reviews online. 4．What can we infer from the author’s experience? A．Teamwork is the key to success. B．Professional reviews play an important role. C．A positive attitude leads to a different result. D．Popularity is what matters most to a writer. 【答案】1．D 2．D 3．A 4．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述作者因新书收到负面评价而陷入自我怀疑，但通过积极推广和心态调整，最终获得读者的认可，重拾自信。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段中“I had never been so proud of, excited by, or confident in anything I’d ever written before.(我从未对自己写过的任何东西感到如此骄傲、兴奋和自信)”可知，作者收到出版商的邮件时充满了骄傲和自信。故选D。 2．词句猜测题。根据第二段中“I read the review, taking deep breaths as I saw words like “messy” “mismatched” “saccharine (故作多情的)” and “overly sentimental”. I read and reread that review until each scathing word was stuck in my head.(当我看到“杂乱无章”“不匹配”“过于多愁善感”这样的词时，我深吸一口气读完了评论。我一遍又一遍地读那篇评论，直到每一个scathing词汇都在我的脑海里挥之不去)”可知，作者看到的评论都是负面的，因此“scathing”的意思应该是“尖锐的，严厉的”，与“Sharp”意思相近。故选D。 3．细节理解题。根据第四段中“I cheered up and spent hours each week contacting hundreds of book bloggers and other reviewers. I wrote personal messages, respectfully asking them to read the novel and share their honest thoughts and opinions online.(我振作起来，每周花几个小时联系数百名图书博主和其他评论家。我写了私人信息，恭敬地请他们阅读这本小说，并在网上分享他们真实的想法和意见)”可知，作者通过亲自寻求诚实的评论来重拾信心。故选A。 4．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“That one simple change in mindset (心态) removed my discouragement and enabled me to believe in myself so I could share my story with the world.(心态上的这一简单改变消除了我的沮丧，让我相信自己，这样我就可以和世界分享我的故事)”可知，作者通过积极的心态面对负面评论，最终取得了成功，因此可以推断出积极的态度会导致不同的结果。故选C。 Passage 3 (24-25高一下·河南安阳滑县部分学校·期末) Baileigh Sinaman-Daniel plays basketball for Lesley University in Cambridge, Massachusetts. While women have been playing college sports for quite a while, Sinaman-Daniel has a unique life journey. The 22-year-old, from Stafford, Virginia, was born with a shortened right arm, but that didn’t stop her from playing basketball. As reported by AP News, Sinaman-Daniel came to Lesley University as a transfer student (转学生) , where her hard work and determination caught the eye of Martin Rather, the women’s basketball coach. According to Rather, she completed more individualized practices than anyone else on the team. Her hard work and commitment helped lead the Lynx to their best season in 14 years. It is also this determination that helped Sinaman-Daniel make history on December 4, 2024, when she became the first one-armed NCAA Division Ⅲ women’s basketball player to score in a college game. She made a three-point shot that went into the net without hitting the rim (篮筐) . But she wasn’t even aware of the significance of the moment. “I kind of just shot the ball, thinking that I would have to go and get it back on a rebound (篮板球) ,” Sinaman-Daniel said. “When the shot actually went in, I was more surprised.” Rather immediately grasped the significance and called a time-out to celebrate the moment. “That’s history and we need to take a second to pause and celebrate it,” he said. Everybody just surrounded Baileigh, giving her high fives, celebrating her.” Sinaman-Daniel scored two more points seven weeks later, before her team made it to the North Atlantic Conference (NAC) West playoffs and defeated VTSU Lyndon in the quarterfinals on February 21, 2025. Although the team later lost the semifinals to SUNY Cobleskill, Sinaman-Daniel takes pride in what she has already accomplished and believes that her wins can inspire others. 1．What made Sinaman-Daniel stand out when she transferred to Lesley University? A．Her excellent academic performance. B．Her special basketball-playing techniques. C．Her distinct look with a shortened right arm. D．Her great devotion in personalized trainings. 2．What can we infer from Paragraph 3? A．She was modest about her achievement. B．She knew it was a historic moment. C．She often made three-point shots. D．She disliked celebrating with others. 3．What does“grasped” in paragraph 5 probably mean? A．Held tightly. B．Understood well. C．Caught quickly. D．Reached suddenly. 4．What is the main idea of the last paragraph? A．Sinaman-Daniel’s team’s play-off results. B．Sinaman-Daniel’s post-success attitude. C．The future of Sinaman-Daniel’s team. D．The influence of Sinaman-Daniel’s wins. 【答案】1．D 2．A 3．B 4．B 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了天生右臂残缺的Baileigh Sinaman-Daniel凭借努力成为NCAA三级联赛首位单臂得分的女子篮球运动员，并介绍了她的成就及对自身经历的态度。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段“As reported by AP News, Sinaman-Daniel came to Lesley University as a transfer student (转学生) , where her hard work and determination caught the eye of Martin Rather, the women’s basketball coach. According to Rather, she completed more individualized practices than anyone else on the team. (据美联社报道，Sinaman Daniel以转学生的身份来到莱斯利大学，在那里她的努力和决心引起了女子篮球教练Martin Rather的注意。据Rather说，她比团队中的任何人都完成了更多的个性化练习。)”可知，Sinaman-Daniel在个性化训练中的投入让她脱颖而出。故选D项。 2．推理判断题。根据第三段“But she wasn’t even aware of the significance of the moment.(但她甚至没有意识到那一刻的意义。)”及第四段“When the shot actually went in, I was more surprised.(当球真的进了的时候，我更惊讶了。)”可知，Sinaman-Daniel对自己的成就很谦虚。故选A项。 3．词句猜测题。根据第五段“Rather immediately grasped the significance and called a time-out to celebrate the moment.(Rather立刻grasped这一意义，并叫了暂停来庆祝这一刻。)”可知，这里指Rather理解这一刻的意义，从而暂停来庆祝，所以猜测grasped意为“充分理解”。故选B项。 4． 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Although the team later lost the semifinals to SUNY Cobleskill, Sinaman-Daniel takes pride in what she has already accomplished and believes that her wins can inspire others.(尽管球队后来在半决赛中输给了纽约州立大学科布尔斯基尔分校，但Sinaman Daniel为她已经取得的成就感到自豪，并相信她的胜利可以激励他人。)”可知，最后一段主要讲Sinaman-Daniel成功后的态度。故选B项。 Passage 4 (24-25高一下·河南方城县第一高级中学·期末) “Well, I made it,” says Chris Green with a smile. Recently there have been news reports and television shows reporting on the quality of school lunches. According to federal (联邦的) guidelines, French fries count as a serving of vegetables. Many parents and others are upset that a salty, deep-fried food is replacing healthier options like carrot sticks. As a result, the potato — what French fries are made of — has been getting a bad rap. “The problem is not the potato,” insists Chris. “Potatoes are very healthy. But any food, even carrots or lettuce (生菜), will be less healthy if it’s cooked in grease (油脂).” Two months ago, Chris decided to eat nothing but potatoes for 60 days. As a high school science teacher and son of a potato farmer, he wanted to do something to draw attention to potatoes as a healthy food and a good choice as part of anyone’s regular meals. “It’s been an interesting experience,” Chris said. “For a while, I wasn’t sure I would make it. I was pretty tired of eating potatoes after a few weeks.” But for Chris there were some benefits that he hadn’t expected. He’s lost 15 pounds and he feels better than he has in years. “I have so much more energy,” he says. “I’ve been running and playing on a local basketball team, and I feel like I’m playing as well as I did when I was in high school.” And Chris has gotten a lot of attention, much more than he expected. “It’s been fantastic. Thousands of people have read my blog. I’ve been sharing recipes and talking about the experience. Every day I get to tell people what a great idea it is to eat potatoes.” Chris is glad to be back to a normal diet, but he still eats potatoes at least 5 or 6 times a week. “Everyone should!” he says with a smile. “Potatoes are healthy and taste great!” 1．What situation do potatoes face? A．They get more and more popular. B．They become good for people’s health. C．They receive little attention. D．They obtain an unfair judgement. 2．Why did Chris decide to eat potatoes only? A．Because potatoes were cheap. B．Because he loved potatoes very much. C．Because he wanted to prove that potatoes were healthy. D．Because he felt like drawing attention to himself. 3．After eating potatoes for a few weeks, how did Chris feel? A．He became less fit. B．He was sick of eating potatoes. C．He felt like giving up his plan. D．He felt that he had put on some weight. 4．Which of the following can best describe Chris? A．Intelligent and selfless. B．Humorous and cooperative. C．Courageous and adventurous. D．Determined and persistent. 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．B 4．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了Chris Green如何通过一项独特的挑战——在60天内只吃土豆——来引起公众对土豆作为健康食物的关注。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段“Many parents and others are upset that a salty, deep-fried food is replacing healthier options like carrot sticks. As a result, the potato—what French fries are made of—has been getting a bad rap.(许多家长和其他人对咸的油炸食品正在取代胡萝卜条等更健康的选择感到不安。因此，土豆——炸薯条的原料——一直名声不佳。)”和第三段“Potatoes are very healthy. But any food, even carrots or lettuce (生菜), will be less healthy if it’s cooked in grease (油脂).(土豆非常健康。但任何食物，即使是胡萝卜或生菜，如果在油脂中烹饪都会不健康。)”可知，土豆面临的情况是它们得到了不公正的评价。故选D。 2．推理判断题。根据第四段“As a high school science teacher and son of a potato farmer, he wanted to do something to draw attention to potatoes as a healthy food and a good choice as part of anyone’s regular meals.(作为一名高中科学老师和马铃薯农民的儿子，他想做点什么来吸引人们注意土豆是一种健康的食物，是人们日常饮食的一个好选择。)”可知，Chris决定只吃土豆是因为他想证明土豆是健康的。故选C。 3．细节理解题。根据第五段“I was pretty tired of eating potatoes after a few weeks.(几个星期后，我就吃腻了土豆。)”可知，吃了几个星期土豆后，Chris就厌烦吃土豆了，故选B。 4．推理判断题。根据第四段“Two months ago, Chris decided to eat nothing but potatoes for 60 days.(两个月前，Chris决定在60天内只吃土豆。)”和第一段“Well, I made it(嗯，我做到了)”可知，他60天内每天只吃土豆，所以他是坚定而执着的，可用determined和persistent来描述他，故选D。 主题01 人与社会 Passage 1 (24-25高一下·河南天立教育集团·期末) Tim Wilson, 18, designed a special soft robot: It gives relaxing hugs. Tim’s sister frequently had trouble getting a good night’s sleep as a child. “I saw the effects of poor sleep on her life,” he says. Many of his classmates complained about similar problems. When it was time to do a high-school research project, he decided to deal with “a real need in the world”. His solution — a huggable, co-sleeping robot — brought him a First Award in the Robotics and Intelligent Machines category at Barker College in Sydney, Australia. “Other robotic sleep aids exist. But until now, none could hug back,” Tim says. He started by building a monkey robot and went on to create a koala robot, too. Hugging the robot causes its arms to return the hugger’s hug thanks to the flexible, inflatable tubes (可充气管子) in the robot’s arms. A fiber outside the tubes works like a muscle. His machines do more than return hugs. The robot’s stomach gently rises and falls. “It’s quite comforting,” Tim says. The robot even tries to match its “breathing” rate to the hugger’s. How? A sensor (传感器) inside measures the CO₂ breathed out by the hugger. The robot then tries to mirror how fast the user is breathing. But that part proved tricky. After all, a bedroom fan might be enough to throw off the gas levels. So it’s not always going to be mirroring the user exactly. Therefore, a nice slow breathing rate is preset. Tim believes his robots might help people in other settings, too. Some people benefit from emotional support dogs, for example. But some places might not allow animals. In a super clean hospital, an animal may bring a risk to sick kids. “Being able to relax kids suffering from illnesses is quite a challenging thing,” Tim shares. “But my product could do it.” 1．What inspired Tim to design the robot? A．The widespread sleep trouble. B．His desire to win a robotics competition. C．The lack of robotic sleep aids in the market. D．His interest in studying breathing patterns. 2．What makes Tim’s robot special compared with others? A．Its equipment for removing CO2. B．Its soft and huggable material. C．Its ability to monitor the heart rate. D．Its function of responding to hugs. 3．What can we infer from the last paragraph? A．No animals are allowed in hospitals. B．Tim is confident about his robots’ future. C．Emotional support dogs are no longer popular. D．More improvement is needed for the hugging robots. 4．Which of the following words can best describe Tim? A．Responsible and flexible. B．Honest and hard-working. C．Creative and considerate. D．Humorous and strong-willed. 【答案】1．A 2．D 3．B 4．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。本文主要讲述了18岁的蒂姆·威尔逊设计了一款特殊的软体机器人，这款机器人能够给人拥抱，帮助改善睡眠。 1．细节理解题。根据文章第一段中的“Tim’s sister frequently had trouble getting a good night’s sleep as a child. Many of his classmates complained about similar problems.( 蒂姆的姐姐小时候经常难以获得充足的睡眠。他的许多同学也都抱怨着类似的问题。)”可知，蒂姆的妹妹小时候经常睡不好觉，他的许多同学也抱怨有类似的问题，这激发了蒂姆设计这款机器人的灵感。故选A。 2．细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“‘Other robotic sleep aids exist. But until now, none could hug back,’ Tim says.(确实存在其他机器人睡眠辅助工具，但到目前为止，还没有任何一款能够给予拥抱回馈。)”可知，蒂姆的机器人与其他机器人睡眠辅助工具不同的是，它能够回应拥抱。故选D。 3．推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中的“‘Being able to relax kids suffering from illnesses is quite a challenging thing,’ Tim shares. ‘But my product could do it.’(“能够让生病的孩子放松下来是一件很有挑战性的事情，”蒂姆分享道，“但我的产品可以做到。”)”可知，蒂姆认为他的机器人能够帮助放松生病的孩子，这很有挑战性，但他的产品可以做到。由此可以推断出，蒂姆对他的机器人的未来充满信心。故选B。 4．推理判断题。根据文章第一段中的“When it was time to do a high-school research project, he decided to deal with ‘a real need in the world’.(当到了做高中研究课题的时候，他决定去解决“世界上一个真正的需求”。)”以及“His solution—a huggable, co-sleeping robot— brought him a First Award in the Robotics and Intelligent Machines category at Barker College in Sydney, Australia.(他的解决方案——一个可以拥抱的、可以一起睡觉的机器人——为他赢得了澳大利亚悉尼巴克学院机器人与智能机器类别的一等奖。)”可知，蒂姆决定解决世界上的一个真正需求并且由此创造了一个可以睡觉的机器人，由此说明他有创造力；根据文章第三段中的“The robot even tries to match its ‘breathing’ rate to the hugger’s.(这个机器人甚至试图让自己的“呼吸”频率与拥抱者同步。)”可知，蒂姆设计的机器人甚至试图使其“呼吸”频率与拥抱者匹配，这说明他体贴周到。故C项“Creative and considerate.(有创造力和体贴周到的)”符合题意。故选C。 Passage 2 (24-25高一下·河南南阳·期末) At the Liangzhu Museum in Hangzhou, volunteer Emma Chen fascinated by the unique black pottery collection, is passionately explaining to visitors that long before smartphones, the Liangzhu people were possibly “posting their moments” on pottery like people today do on WeChat.

She got the idea for the Resilient Rec YQL program when she began volunteering at the Soup Kitchen in 2020. “I saw this huge need, ” Chartier said. “We were filling the physical needs of the people, giving them some shelters and food. But we weren’t giving them meaning and purpose, and we weren’t giving them an opportunity to move up and fill their needs to socialize. ” In response, Chartier initially conceived the Resilient Art YQL program and approached the director of the Soup Kitchen about implementing the concept. The Soup Kitchen was on board and provided some funds to buy art supplies and offered their space so that, once a week, people could come to the Soup Kitchen and create art. The finished artworks were posted to a Facebook page and offered for sale, with the profits going to support the needs, like a new pair of boots or a new backpack, of the artist. “We did that for about a year, and it was wonderful, ” she said. “The next summer we organized a day in the park. We went to Henderson Lake and kayaked a little bit and played lawn games. ” Even though the art and park events were successful, Chartier thought more people might attend if the activities had broader appeal. “Some people hear the word ‘art’, and they freak out and don’t come because they think they’re not artistic, ” she said. “So, we changed our name to Resilient Rec YQL and we started running things like bingo nights, movie nights, and karaoke nights-all sorts of fun events. We wanted them to feel at home in an environment where they feel safe to have fun. ” 1．What can we know about Resilient Rec YQL program from paragraph 2? A．Its origin. B．Its challenges. C．Its development. D．Its achievements. 2．How does Chartier feel about the events held by Resilient Rec YQL? A．Loosely-planned. B．Privacy-ensured. C．Well-received. D．Time-consuming. 3．What does the underlined phrase “freak out” in paragraph 5 mean? A．Feel meaningless. B．Feel upset. C．Feel bored. D．Feel helpless. 4．What is the main idea of the text? A．Being kind to the unhoused increases your own well-being. B．An art-based program helps the people in need make a living. C．An after-school program teaches unhoused residents to enjoy art. D．A university student develops recreation opportunities for unhoused residents. 【答案】1．A 2．C 3．B 4．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。本文主要讲述了一名莱斯布里奇大学治疗娱乐专业学生Tannis Chartier为无家可归者提供娱乐休闲机会的故事。她创立了Resilient Rec YQL项目，旨在让无家可归者在安全的环境中享受乐趣、感受归属感。 1．细节理解题。根据文章第二段中“She got the idea for the Resilient Rec YQL program when she began volunteering at the Soup Kitchen in 2020(2020 年，她在Soup Kitchen做志愿者时萌生了创办“Resilient Rec YQL 计划”的想法。)”可知Resilient Rec YQL项目的起源，即Tannis Chartier在2020年开始在Soup Kitchen做志愿者时得到了这个项目的灵感。故选A。 2．推理判断题。根据文章第四段““We did that for about a year, and it was wonderful, ” she said. “The next summer we organized a day in the park. We went to Henderson Lake and kayaked a little bit and played lawn games. ”(她说：“我们这样做了一年左右，感觉非常棒。第二年夏天，我们在公园里组织了一天的活动。我们去了亨德森湖，划了一会儿皮划艇，还玩了些草地游戏。”)”以及第五段中“Even though the art and park events were successful, Chartier thought more people might attend if the activities had broader appeal. (尽管艺术和公园活动都很成功，但Chartier认为，如果活动更具吸引力，可能会有更多的人参加。)”可知，Chartier对Resilient Rec YQL举办的活动持积极态度，认为活动受到了大家的欢迎。因此，选项C“Well-received.(受欢迎的)”符合题意。故选C。 3．词义猜测题。根据划线词所在句“Some people hear the word ‘art’…don’t come because they think they’re not artistic,( 有些人听到“艺术”这个词时……因为觉得自己没有艺术细胞就不来了。)”可知，有些人听到“艺术”，会感到害怕或不安，因此不来参加活动。因此推断出“freak out”在此处的意思是“感到不安”或“感到烦躁”。因此，选项B“Feel upset.(感到不安)”符合题意。故选B。 4．主旨大意题。根据第一段中“Tannis Chartier, a third-year University of Lethbridge student in the Therapeutic Recreation Program is providing meaningful opportunities for unhoused people to enjoy recreational pastimes like bingo, movies and karaoke.( Tannis Chartier 是莱斯布里奇大学治疗娱乐专业的一名大三学生，她为无家可归者提供了参与有意义活动的机会，让他们能够享受诸如宾果游戏、观影和卡拉OK等休闲娱乐活动。)”以及通读全文可知，文章主要讲述了一名大学生Tannis Chartier为无家可归者提供娱乐休闲机会的故事，她创立了Resilient Rec YQL项目，组织各种娱乐活动，旨在让无家可归者在安全的环境中享受乐趣。因此，选项D“A university student develops recreation opportunities for unhoused residents.(一名大学生为无家可归者开发娱乐机会)”最符合文章主旨。故选D。 Passage 4 (24-25高一下·河南开封·期末) Marie Van Brittan Brown, an African American nurse living in Jamaica, Queens in the 1960s, was working in shifts, as was her husband, Albert, an electronics technician. When she arrived home late, she sometimes felt afraid. Serious crimes in Queens jumped nearly 32 percent from 1960 to 1965, and police were slow to respond to emergency calls. Marie wanted to feel safer at home. With the help of her husband, Marie imagined a device that could be attached to the front door. It would offer four small holes, and through these, a video camera on the inside could view visitors of different heights as the host turned the camera up and down. The camera was connected to a television monitor inside. A microphone on the outside of the door and a speaker inside allowed the host to interrogate a visitor, while an alarm could inform police via radio. Closed-circuit television (CCTV), invented during World War II for military use, was not widespread in the 1960s, and the Browns proposed using the technology to create the first modern home security system. They filed a patent for their device in 1966, citing(提及) Marie as the lead inventor. It was approved three years later. “The equipment is not in production,” The New York Times reported, “but the Browns hope to interest manufacturers and home builders.” That never happened. “The cost of installing(安装) it widely would be pretty high,” says Robert McCrie, an emergency management expert at John Jay College of Criminal Justice in Manhattan. Marie’s invention, though it didn’t benefit them financially, would earn the Browns a measure of recognition in the technology world: The predecessor(前身) of today’s home security systems, it has been cited(引用) in 35 U.S. patents. 1．What can be learned about Marie? A．She lived in a dangerous neighborhood. B．She worked as an electronics technician. C．She went home with her husband every day. D．She was afraid of making an emergency call. 2．What does the underlined word “interrogate” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A．Attract. B．Frighten. C．Welcome. D．Question. 3．What was the problem with the Browns’ system? A．It was considered to be a silly invention. B．It was thought little of by the then police. C．It was too expensive to be mass-produced. D．It was illegal to be used by ordinary people. 4．What can we say about Marie and her husband? A．They contributed a lot to CCTV. B．They were generous and responsible. C．They helped reduce crime in the 1960s. D．They were intelligent and worthy of respect. 【答案】1．A 2．D 3．C 4．D 【分析】本文是说明文。文章主要讲述玛丽和她的丈夫因为住在犯罪率较高的社区，就想有个安全的居住环境，而设计了一款设备。 1．推理判断题。根据第一段“Serious crimes in Queens jumped nearly 32 percent from 1960 to 1965, and police were slow to respond to emergency calls. Marie wanted to feel safer at home.”（皇后区的严重的犯罪从1960到1965年跳了将近32%，并且警察出警的速度很慢。玛丽想在家里感到更安全点。）可知，玛丽住的社区不安全。故选A。 2．词句猜测题。根据这句话“A microphone on the outside of the door and a speaker inside allowed the host to interrogate a visitor, while an alarm could inform police via radio.”（门外面的话筒和门内的扬声器允许主人interrogate来访者，同时警铃可以通过无线电通知警察。）可知，interrogate是及物动词，a visitor是它的宾语。根据上文的A microphone on the outside of the door and a speaker inside可知，门外面的话筒和门内的扬声器都是可以传达声音的设备，所以就可以让家里的主人通过这些设备和门外的人说话，问门外的人问题。D选项“质问，提问”和它意思接近。故选D。 3．推理判断题。根据第三段“The equipment is not in production”（这个设备没有大量生产）和“The cost of installing(安装) it widely would be pretty high”（广泛安装的费用相当的高）可知，这个设备的不足之处在于大量生产的费用太高。故选C。 4．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Marie’s invention, though it didn’t benefit them financially, would earn the Browns a measure of recognition in the technology world: The predecessor(前身) of today’s home security systems, it has been cited(引用) in 35 U.S. patents.”（尽管玛丽的发明没有为他们挣大钱，但是却给布朗一家赢得了在技术界的认可：现在家里的安保系统的前身，它已经在35个美国专利上被引用。）可知，玛丽和她的丈夫很聪明，并且获得了大家的认可和尊敬。故选D。 Passage 5 (24-25高一下·河南南阳方城县第一高级中学·期末) The conflict between Harvard University and the US government regarding the ban on international students has drawn global attention. The US government’s sudden decision to prohibit international students from studying at Harvard has sent shockwaves through the educational world. One of the main reasons the US government gave for the ban was national security threats allegedly posed by international students. However, Harvard has vehemently refuted this claim. The university emphasizes that international students have always abided by US laws and regulations and have made positive contributions to the academic and social life on campus. For instance, many international students actively participate in community service activities organized by the university, promoting cultural exchange and understanding. In addition, Harvard highlights that the ban will have a negative impact on the entire US higher-education system. International students contribute not only to the academic diversity but also to the economic development of the country. They pay tuition fees, which support the operation of universities and create job opportunities. Moreover, the knowledge and skills they acquire in the US may lead to future cooperation and exchanges between different countries. The lawsuit filed by Harvard is not just for its own sake but also for the principle of fairness and the future of international education in the US. The university hopes that the court will carefully consider the case and make a just decision that respects the rights of international students and the freedom of academic exchange. 1．What was the reaction of the educational world to the US government’s ban on international students at Harvard?

But American adventurer Garrett Fisher’s mission is different: to uncover the “souls” of disappearing glaciers — as he believes satellite images can’t replicate (复制) the beauty of glaciers. Many glaciers can’t be accessed on foot, or by drone, and helicopters are extremely expensive. Therefore, Fisher flew an old plane and hung his camera out of the window. “With an aeroplane, I can ‘stand’ in a place where a human can’t stand,” he says. “You can look down into the soul of the glacier from a close perspective.” Fisher has spent two summers photographing the glaciers of the Bernese Alps. He chooses the summer because the glaciers stand out clearly against the surrounding snow. He has to wait for sunshine and then brave violent and unpredictable winds — as well as a lack of oxygen — to climb as high as 14,000 ft in the Bernese Alps. “It takes a long time to wait for the right kind of day. The conventional wisdom is that the wind cannot be higher than 20 knots but I’ve gone up in as much as 50. At high altitudes, the wind tends not to be turbulent (猛烈的) if you’re on the proper side of the mountain. So it’s a lot like surfing this giant wave: if you stay in the right spot, everything’s fine.” In deep valleys, he is usually out of radio contact. If his plane gets into trouble, the glaciers look like a decent emergency runway, but appearances are misleading. “Those cracks are so large that if the engine quits and I go in one, the authorities probably wouldn’t ever find me again,” he says. “The risk is huge, but it’s absolutely worth it.” Fisher’s flying is showing the rapid melting of glaciers. “Everything I’m looking at will be gone in three generations.” He has now set up a non-profit group, the Global Glacier Initiative, with the aim of collecting a personal pictorial record of glaciers to record what is being lost and campaign for more decisive action to fight the climate crisis. “I’m willing to take the next 20 years and go chase every single glacier I can find on the planet,” he says. 1．Fisher photographs glaciers by aeroplane to _______. A．ensure the safety during flight B．catch the beauty of glaciers up close C．stand on some famous glaciers D．collect accurate data of glacier melting 2．What can we learn from Fisher’s photographing experience? A．He coped with high-altitude flying skillfully. B．He chose summer to avoid the unpredictable winds. C．He regarded glaciers as a practical emergency runway. D．He managed to keep contact with the outside in a crack. 3．The last paragraph emphasizes Fisher’s _______. A．anxiety over the rapid melting of glaciers B．determination to record disappearing glaciers C．ambition to set a record for photographing glaciers D．frustration with current actions against climate crisis 4．Which of the following words best describe Fisher? A．Adventurous and far-sighted. B．Optimistic and soft-hearted. C．Talented and strong-willed. D．Devoted and open-minded. 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．B 4．A 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了美国探险家加勒特·费舍尔（Garrett Fisher）通过驾驶老式飞机，近距离拍摄正在消失的冰川，以记录它们的美丽并唤起人们对气候变化危机的关注。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段中“But American adventurer Garrett Fisher’s mission is different: to uncover the “souls” of disappearing glaciers — as he believes satellite images can’t replicate the beauty of glaciers. (但美国冒险家加勒特·费舍尔的使命不同：去揭示正在消失的冰川的“灵魂” —— 因为他认为卫星图像无法复制冰川的美。)”以及第二段中““With an aeroplane, I can ‘stand’ in a place where a human can’t stand,” he says. “You can look down into the soul of the glacier from a close perspective.” (“有了飞机，我就能‘站’在人类无法站立的地方，”他说。“你可以从近距离俯瞰冰川的灵魂。”)”可知，费舍尔乘坐飞机拍摄冰川是为了近距离捕捉冰川的美丽。故选B项。 2．推理判断题。根据第三段中“He has to wait for sunshine and then brave violent and unpredictable winds — as well as a lack of oxygen — to climb as high as 14,000 ft in the Bernese Alps. “It takes a long time to wait for the right kind of day. The conventional wisdom is that the wind cannot be higher than 20 knots but I’ve gone up in as much as 50. At high altitudes, the wind tends not to be turbulent if you’re on the proper side of the mountain. So it’s a lot like surfing this giant wave: if you stay in the right spot, everything’s fine.” (他必须等待阳光，然后要勇敢面对狂风和变幻莫测的气流，还要应对缺氧问题，才能在伯尔尼阿尔卑斯山脉攀登至14,000英尺的高度。“等待合适的天气需要很长时间。一般的经验是，风速不能超过20节，但我曾在风速高达50节的情况下登山。在高海拔地区，如果你处于山的合适一侧，风往往不会那么猛烈。所以这很像在驾驭巨浪：如果你待在合适的位置，一切就都没问题。”)”可知，费舍尔在拍摄过程中，需要应对高海拔、强风和缺氧等挑战，但他能够巧妙地应对这些挑战，说明他熟练地应对了高空飞行。故选A项。 3．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Fisher’s flying is showing the rapid melting of glaciers. “Everything I’m looking at will be gone in three generations.” He has now set up a non-profit group, the Global Glacier Initiative, with the aim of collecting a personal pictorial record of glaciers to record what is being lost and campaign for more decisive action to fight the climate crisis. “I’m willing to take the next 20 years and go chase every single glacier I can find on the planet,” he says. (费舍尔的飞行展示了冰川的快速融化。“我所看到的一切在三代人之后都将消失。”他现在成立了一个非营利组织“全球冰川倡议”，旨在收集冰川的个人图片记录，以记录正在失去的东西，并发起运动，呼吁采取更果断的行动来应对气候危机。“我愿意在接下来的20年里，去追寻地球上我能找到的每一条冰川，”他说。)”可知，最后一段强调了费舍尔记录正在消失的冰川的决心。故选B项。 4．推理判断题。根据第二段中“Many glaciers can’t be accessed on foot, or by drone, and helicopters are extremely expensive. Therefore, Fisher flew an old plane and hung his camera out of the window. (许多冰川无法步行或使用无人机到达，而且直升机非常昂贵。因此，费舍尔驾驶一架旧飞机，把相机挂在窗外。)”以及最后一段中“I'm willing to take the next 20 years and go chase every single glacier I can find on the planet. (我愿意用接下来的20年去追寻地球上我能找到的每一座冰川。)”可知，费舍尔敢于冒险，驾驶老式飞机拍摄冰川，并且他愿意花费20年的时间去追寻每一座冰川，着眼于冰川保护和气候危机应对,说明他具有远见卓识。因此，A项“Adventurous and far-sighted. (冒险和有远见的)”最能描述费舍尔。故选A项。 Passage 2 (24-25高一下·河南驻马店部分高中联考·期末) Among the many inspiring figures in the world, Jane Goodall stands out as a true icon (偶像). She was born on April 3,1934, in London, England. From childhood, Jane Goodall was fascinated by animals and spent hours observing them in their natural habitats.

After graduating from high school, Goodall worked as a secretary to save money for her trip to Africa she had always dreamed of visiting. In 1960, Goodall’s life took a significant turn when receiving an invitation from renowned archaeologist Louis Leakey to study chimpanzees in Tanzania. With little formal scientific training, she began a journey that would revolutionize our understanding of these magnificent creatures. Living in the remote Gombe Stream National Park, Goodall spent decades observing and documenting the behavior of chimpanzees. She discovered chimpanzees use tools, have complex social structures, and exhibit emotions similar to humans. Her groundbreaking research challenged long-held beliefs about the uniqueness of human beings and opened up new ways of study in the field of primatology (灵长类动物学)。 Goodall’s contributions extend far beyond her scientific research. She is a passionate advocate for conservation and animal welfare. She has established numerous conservation projects worldwide, focusing on protecting chimpanzees and their habitats. She also works to promote environmental education and sustainable development, inspiring the next generation to protect our planet. At present, Goodall continues to travel internationally, working as the UN Messenger of Peace and inspiring people to protect ecology. Awarded numerous honors for her lifelong commitment, she remains a towering figure in both science and activism. In short, Jane Goodall’s life is a shining example of what can be achieved through deep love for animals and nature and firm determination faced with huge challenges and difficulties.
