专题02 阅读理解（记叙文） 主题01 人与自我——个人经历 Passage 1 （24-25高二下·广东汕尾·期末） Oliver’s brain is always overflowing with curiosity and imagination, which makes it difficult for him to focus at school or to feel like he fits in. First introduced in Lynda Mullaly Hunt’s 2016 novel, Fish in a Tree, the boy has a starring role in her picture book for readers aged six and up, Wish in a Tree. This is a book celebrating creative thinking and other things that set us apart. Hunt did not have to search far to find her inspiration for Fish in a Tree and its companion. “This is my own story,” she said. “As a sixth grader with ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder注意缺陷障碍), I vividly remember hearing other kids writing something on their papers and thinking, ‘I cannot do that. I must be really stupid.’” “My teacher literally saved me that year by speaking to me about how I was doing, and asking me to help first graders with math.” Hunt recalled. Those experiences inspired Hunt’s interest in becoming a teacher, and she taught third and sixth grades for 10 years before turning to writing. Though as a child she longed “to wave a magic wand (魔法棒) and be able to focus and get rid of the mind movies that made my life depressing,” she said, “it turned out to be a gift. I love kids and as a teacher the fact that I have ADD has meant that I am able to help them in useful ways.” Attesting to the fact that her sensitivity and empathy (同理心) run deep in her fiction, Hunt often hears that her books make readers cry. “I almost never cry while writing novels,” she said, “but when I wrote the line in which Oliver makes the wish ‘Please... please make me more like the rest of them,’ it made me tear up. I was right back there with that same childhood longing. It is so important that we continue to deliver the message that you are who you are, and you have to honor that. As I say in Wish in a Tree, ‘The tree is most beautiful when all the leaves are not the same.’” 1．What inspired Hunt to write Fish in a Tree? A．A student’s creative thinking. B．Her childhood struggles with ADD． C．A famous psychologist’s advice. D．Her own experience with a companion. 2．How did Hunt’s teacher influence her life? A．By criticizing her lack of focus in class. B．By recommending her books to children. C．By empowering her through talks and tasks. D．By telling her what ADD meant to a teacher. 3．Why does Hunt consider her ADD a “gift” now? A．It made her a bestselling author. B．It cured her childhood depression. C．It allowed her to focus on writing. D．It helped her connect with students. 4．What theme does Wish in a Tree primarily communicate? A．Fantasy stories help children process pain. B．Academic success requires strict discipline. C．Individual differences should be celebrated. D．Teachers must adapt to students’ special needs. Passage 2 （24-25高二下·广东清远·期末） I discovered beauty content on YouTube in 2014, and shopping quickly became my hobby. I went from owning a single makeup bag to more than 200 lipsticks(口红) within a year. In November 2019, I hit rock bottom after spending $3,000 over Black Friday, feeling ashamed of myself. I knew I had a problem. That December, I clicked on a no-buy video on YouTube, where creators shared their experiences and tips. A year without shopping felt impossible-but the more I watched, the more I wondered: if I didn’t want to stop, was that a sign I should? On January 1, 2020, I started a year-long no-buy challenge with three rules: spend only on essentials like food and bills; replace beauty or fashion items only when they run out; and wait five days before buying any replacement. The first few weeks felt manageable-I was motivated to change. But soon my wants and needs blurred (变得模糊不清). For example, I would run out of a skincare item and convince myself I needed a new one, despite having plenty of others. For the rest of the year, I tried to justify purchases that fit in the grey area between my wants and my needs. My work wasn’t over when my no-buy year ended. I set a goal to develop a healthy relationship with money when I finally realized that I shopped to deal with stress. I started to explore healthier strategies like journaling, walking, and reading to manage tough emotions. I simplified my skincare routine, focused on essential products, and shifted from collecting to using. In 2023, I spent only $200 on makeup, which was a major improvement compared to my previous $1,000 annual spending. No-buy challenges are now a regular part of my life. Today, I’ve built savings and set financial goals. I still like shopping, but I do it more responsibly. 1．Why did the author begin a no-buy challenge in 2020? A．To follow a trend online. B．To test a new budgeting app. C．To save money for a big purchase. D．To break an unhealthy shopping habit. 2．What was one of the author’s rules for her no-buy journey? A．Replace items before they run out. B．Find products in secondhand stores. C．Delay replacement purchases by five days. D．Keep monthly expenses within a set budget. 3．Which best describes the author’s first-year no-buy experience? A．Overly restrictive. B．Partially effective. C．Fully transformative. D．Completely unsuccessful. 4．What is the best title for the text? A．Shopping Less, Living More. B．Learning More, Stressing Less. C．Exploring Nature, Finding Peace. D．Practicing Kindness, Spreading Joy. Passage 3 （24-25高二下·广东梅州·期末） The leather jacket is age-worn and soft. I found it hanging in the window of a shop in Brighton, England. I was there to deliver a talk on modern women’s writing at an international conference, a PhD student eager to make a name for herself and waiting for her life to start. I had just turned 28. I’m still closely connected to that woman, her dreams and her ambition, although she also frightens me. She was always quite determined, this leather jacket woman—she had a five-year plan and was sticking to it! This was the woman who couldn’t find time to visit her grandmother, who regularly missed her nieces’ and nephews’ birthday parties, and who left and didn’t look back. She and I are one and the same, but we are also very different. There was a change that happened a few years into the five-year plan. Each time one goal post was reached, another took its place. This is the pattern of the overly ambitious. I started to doubt whether it would result in any real success other than an unwavering (坚定不移的) ability to give up everything else along the way. My determination wavered. I realized I didn’t want the same things anymore. The jacket moved to the back of the wardrobe (衣橱). Seven years later, as I stand in front of my wardrobe filled with useless clothes, I don’t know what to do with the jacket. When England’s cold spread to my bones years earlier, the jacket had felt like a practical thing I bought. Here in Australia’s sunshine, it always felt a little silly. I let it fall heavily on the bed alongside the other clothes I’ve decided to give away because they no longer make the cut. Yet, despite its uselessness and how much space it takes up, at the last moment I return the leather jacket to the wardrobe. I think it will always stand for a part of myself that I’m not quite willing to give up forever—that ambitious, motivated woman. 1．What does the author mainly tell us in paragraph 2? A．Her taste in clothing. B．Her original dreams. C．Her character in her late 20s. D．Her family relationships. 2．What happened to the author in paragraph 3? A．She was proud of her success. B．She cared less about dressing. C．She started losing ambition. D．She seldom doubted her plan. 3．Why did the author keep the jacket? A．To encourage other women. B．To treasure her real self. C．To help her set goals. D．To help her keep warm. Passage 4 （24-25高二下·广东深圳龙岗区·期末） Li Dongju, a 66-year-old grandmother from Zhengzhou, has cycled alone through 12 countries across Asia, Europe, and Australia. Her journey began in 2013 when she saw cyclists speeding past. “Before cycling, I was like a frog in a well,” she recalls. “Now I’m a wild wolf — free and fearless!” In 2005, Li divorced. She struggled with depression for years. With only 3,000 yuan monthly pension (退休金), Li budgeted carefully. To save money, she worked as a cleaner and hotel dishwasher. Her son gifted her a folding bike, and she traveled cheaply by camping or staying with locals. Her first Southeast Asia trip left her alone in Vietnam after losing her group. Undeterred, she continued to bike across China, accompanied only by her brown pet dog Xili. In 2017, Li returned to Southeast Asia, this time better equipped with a smartphone and a travel plan. Her companions chose to return home after three weeks, but Li pressed on, cycling through Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, and Myanmar. By 2019, she was ready for her most ambitious challenge yet: cycling through six European countries over 66 days. In November, she flew to Australia. As she cycled along the Pacific Highway, a quiet coastal road, she spotted smoke shooting from nearby brush and alerted the local police with a video she shot, preventing a serious fire from developing. “I was so proud of myself.” Li said. “I felt like I’d done a little bit for Australia.” Though she lost her backpack once, she remembers most the strangers’ kindness and brings Chinese knots to show gratitude to all those who have helped her out of trouble during travelling. When the pandemic held up her travels in 2020, Li realized she’d stopped taking pills for depression. Now planning to ride from Kazakhstan to UAE, she aims for 100 countries “Travel is like a drug,” she smiles. “Once you taste it, you can’t stop.” 1．What initially inspired Li Dongju’s cycling journey? A．Her doctor’s suggestion. B．Her son’s encouragement. C．Seeing passing cyclists. D．Recalling the travel journal. 2．What does the underlined word “Undeterred” in paragraph 2 mean? A．Not determined. B．Not discouraged. C．Not identified. D．Not injured. 3．What did Li do to prevent a fire in Australia? A．Sound the alarm nearby. B．Put out the fire with water. C．Inform the police with a video. D．Guide firefighters to the scene. 4．Which of the following best describes Li’s bike journey? A．Tough but life-changing. B．Lonely but comfortable. C．Costly but rewarding. D．Brief but meaningful. 主题02 人与社会——善行义举 Passage 1 （24-25高二下·广东揭阳·期末） I was a volunteer with the city of Milpitas and was studying at Mission College. One night after going to class, I was heading home and decided to stop off at a burrito (墨西哥卷饼) restaurant. I got my burrito and started to head for my car when I was approached by a homeless man. He was very dirty and obviously very hungry. He asked me for some change to buy a little food. As I was pulling some change out, I had an idea. I asked him to follow me back into the burrito restaurant to order. He was ashamed of the way he looked and said he did not want to go in there. But I insisted. When he finally followed me in, the people behind the counter (柜台) refused to let him in, but I told them that I was buying him dinner and he had a right to be there. After we argued over it for a while, they finally gave in. It seemed like he was relieved a bit to be sitting at a table. I asked him to order whatever he wanted. But he only ordered a burrito. For someone who has been on the fringes (边缘) of society, he was very surprised at my generosity. But to me, it was what any “human being” should do or at least offer. You had to be there to see the look in his face. It reminded me when I was young, my mom brought out a big birthday cake for me on my birthday, with all the candy, chocolate and goodies that we were about to eat. I think he felt special, like he was getting attention, something that I could see he hadn’t experienced in a long time. I often think about this story because, to me, it’s not just about helping someone out by feeding them. It’s more about giving them the respect and dignity of being a human being and allowing them to feel good about themselves. 1．Why did the homeless man approach the author? A．To ask for a lift. B．To beg for money. C．To request a burrito. D．To seek company. 2．What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 2 refer to? A．Where to sit in the restaurant. B．What to order for the homeless man. C．Whether to buy dinner for the homeless man. D．Whether to allow the homeless man to enter the restaurant. 3．Why does the author mention his birthday in paragraph 3? A．To demonstrate his wonderful childhood. B．To stress the importance of enjoying a feast. C．To contrast his life with that of the homeless man. D．To describe the happy feelings of the homeless man. 4．What does the author suggest doing in the last paragraph? A．Treating others with respect. B．Fighting against the world of hunger. C．Encouraging acts of bravery. D．Paying attention to the homeless. Passage 2 （24-25高二下·广东佛山·期末） When Lola, the pet dog that had accompanied me for 14 years, passed away, I felt a part of me had died with her. The grief (悲痛) I felt was terrible, and I was desperate for a change. So, I left my familiar life behind and signed up to study Portuguese in Brazil. But my grief followed me across the ocean. While walking on the street one day, I saw a dog squeeze (挤) into a hole in a building. I went over and discovered that the dog had just given birth to some puppies, several already dead. I called the fire department, but no one helped. Then I called an animal protector friend. After many failed attempts, we finally got the puppies out. I held the sweet puppies in my hands and saw the mama dog’s relieved face as I brought them to her one by one. I instantly felt an incredible bond with this family and promised to do my absolute best to find them great homes. I didn’t know it at the time, but that was the day I became an animal protector. Since then, I’ve rescued over 15 animals, mostly dogs. I began rehoming them with “adopt me” shirts at shopping malls—and it worked! I kept close contact with adopters, including a home visit after one year. But the love I gave was nothing compared to the love I received. Each life I saved helped me put pieces of my broken heart back together. I now have three dogs of my own, including Bambi — one of the first rescued puppies. I had told myself I could never own another dog again after Lola, but with Bambi, something clicked. I hadn’t felt that much love and connection since Lola died. Rescuing animals has helped me process my grief. I’ve found a new sense of identity and purpose beyond my life. 1．What caused the author to go to Brazil? A．The urge to seek a new pet. B．Her will to rescue animals. C．Her desire to learn Portuguese. D．The wish to relieve her pain. 2．What can we learn about the author’s rescue of the puppies? A．It initiated her efforts to protect animals. B．It involved support from local authorities. C．It helped her bond with like-minded people. D．It showed her the tough situation of animals. 3．What does the underlined part in paragraph 5 tell us about the author? A．She began to forget about Lola. B．She felt a connection with Bambi. C．She decided to adopt more dogs. D．She would continue rescuing dogs. 主题01 人与自我——个人经历 Passage 1 （24-25高二下·广东汕头·期末） “Last day, team,” Sukie, the director, informed her troops — it was 9:30 on the final morning of the Barchester Literary Festival — “and Abi, darling, could you help collect I. B．Littlejohn, the famous novelist, from the station?” Abi managed to free her trusty Beetle from the festival carpark and headed for Barchester station. Sadly, there was no sign of Littlejohn, who decided to drive to his event but forgot to tell anyone. After half an hour spent yawning on the platform, Abi. who had averaged five hours’ sleep a night for the past week, drove back to the Green Room, only to find that the bottled water had run out, and that there were no sandwiches. Curiously enough, how did Abi, a middle-aged woman with an English and Creative Writing degree from Leicester University, end up in the festival management? A love of literature is probably the worst qualification imaginable for the job, but Abi, who had previously worked in consumer PR (Public Relations) arranging in-store appearances, was well-equipped to handle such crises. But the day wasn’t over yet. The delivery from the bookstore chain was nowhere to be seen and Sukie was absolutely angry. She assigned to Abi the unenviable task of explaining to Littlejohn, now being interviewed in the “media room”, why there were no books available for him to sign. It was a tough job. Finally Mr. Littlejohn agreed to greet his audience with the assurance that they would get his book, Last Bus to Blackley, signed and delivered home afterwards. In eight hours, it would all be over. The Green Room would be shut up; the volunteers would be dismissed home and Abi would drive off to her parents’ house and await the reward and maybe, just maybe, Sukie would keep her promise of a similar engagement next month. For now, though, Abi had to keep herself cool and make sure the festival ended on a high note. 1．What was the first problem Abi faced? A．Her car broke down in the carpark. B．No water and sandwiches were available. C．She only slept for five hours last night. D．The novelist didn’t turn up at the station. 2．What benefited Abi in managing the literary festival? A．Her deep love of literature. B．Her previous working experience. C．Her professional appearance. D．Her English and Creative Writing degree. 3．What was the consequence of the late arrival of the bookstore delivery? A．Sukie was barely annoyed all her learn. B．Littlejohn’s interview was to be delayed. C．Abi was probably dismissed from her post. D．Audience didn’t get signed books at the meeting. 4．Which of the following best describes the Barchester Literary Festival? A．Cool and successful. B．Organized but upsetting. C．Chaotic and eventful. D．Demanding but rewarding. Passage 2 （24-25高二下·广东云浮·期末） A leading dancer with National Ballet of China has inspired audiences with her talent and determination. Starting ballet at nine, she joined the Affiliated Secondary School of Beijing Dance Academy and quickly rose to fame. By 16, she had claimed gold at the Helsinki International Ballet Competition and joined National Ballet of China at 17. Her breakthrough came when she starred in Romeo and Juliet shortly after joining the company. “That’s when I truly fell in love with ballet,” she recalled. Known for her technical excellence and dedication, she often practiced over 12 hours daily to perfect multiple roles. “Ballet isn’t just a job— it’s my life’s purpose,” she said. However, her career faced a crisis in 2013 during a performance of The Little Mermaid, where she suffered a severe spinal injury. “My sacrum was distorted. I almost quit,” she admitted.

Returning to the stage in 2015, she shifted her focus from technical perfection to emotional storytelling. “Though my injury limits some moves, I now express deeper feelings through dance,” she said. Her performances gained international acclaim as she toured globally with National Ballet of China. “Sharing Chinese ballet worldwide is my greatest pride, and dance has become part of my soul,” she emphasized. Her story highlights the sacrifices behind artistic success. While admitting ballet demands extraordinary commitment, she finds joy in its rewards. “Every drop of sweat is worth it when I step onto the stage,” she said.

Passage 3 （24-25高二下·广东肇庆·期末） Tyson Wachira Kinuthia had always wished to improve his trade by furthering his studies. The nutritionist and sports coach from Kenya made several applications to study abroad, but it had no fruit. After several tries, luck soon found its way. One day, Kinuthia read an advertisement from the National Olympic Committee of Kenya, calling for people interested in pursuing further studies in sports-related subjects. With renewed hope, he submitted his application. “Luck was on my side,” Kinuthia said happily. “After considering my documents, they told me Okay.” Following careful preparation, Kinuthia’s dream was about to come true. At a gala event hosted by Zhou Pingjian, the esteemed Chinese Ambassador to Kenya, Kinuthia delivered a heartfelt speech, expressing his gratitude to the Chinese Embassy (大使馆) for their tireless efforts in making educational pursuits in China accessible to Kenyans. Zhou, in his address, warmly welcomed the students and said, “I know each of you will be serving as a goodwill ambassador of Kenya while in China. Not every Chinese can have the opportunity to be in Kenya. They will have their impression of Kenya by interaeting with you.” Kinuthia felt confident that he would represent Kenya, and would do a good job. Henry Rotich, the chairman of the Kenya-China Alumni Association, added that the scholarship program has become an important tool of education, strengthening the bonds of friendship between the two nations. For Kinuthia, this journey marks the beginning of a new chapter.

In 2018, I first came to China to study at Jiangxi University of Finance and Economics (JUFE) and actively participated in the university’s public welfare activities. Local people often called me “Yang Lei Feng”, which I later learned means “foreign Lei Feng”. Curious, I checked him online and discovered a young soldier known for his dedication to helping others. The more I read, the more I saw how his values matched the principles I desired to follow. Growing up in Bangladesh, I was fully aware of the challenges facing my community and my country — poverty, inequality, and limited access to education and healthcare were unpleasant realities that I witnessed firsthand. These experiences fired up my determination to contribute to positive change and ease the suffering of others. Greatly inspired, I established the Lei Feng International Volunteer Association on March 5, 2021 — Lei Feng Day — alongside young people from different countries at JUFE. Our mission is to support children with special needs, assist the elderly, promote environmental awareness, and enhance cross-cultural understanding. Through these efforts, we continue to keep Lei Feng’s spirit alive in a modern, global context. To know more about this young man, I traveled in 2023 to Liaoning province. I visited the Lei Feng Memorial Hall in Fushun, the city where he spent much of his life. The exhibits — his photographs, personal belongings, and diary entries — offered a glimpse into his selflessness. Returning from the trip, on Lei Feng Day in 2023, I took a bold step to spread his legacy beyond China by launching the global “Learn from Lei Feng” initiative. What began as a vision to promote his values internationally has since grown into a global movement, now spanning 15 countries. In a world often focused on individual success, Lei Feng’s philosophy of selflessness and community service felt more relevant than ever. His life was not about grand gestures but rather a series of small acts of kindness that, when multiplied, can create a better world for all. 1．Why did the author start the Lei Feng International Volunteer Association? A．To provide special support for children. B．To strengthen cooperation among students. C．To inspire global community service. D．To promote China-Bangladesh exchange. 2．What is the correct order of the following events? a. I visited the Lei Feng Memorial Hall. b. I became a student of Jiangxi University in China. c. I set up Lei Feng International Volunteer Association. d. I found many people in my hometown in need of help. e. I launched the global “Learn from Lei Feng” initiative. A．dbcae. B．dabce. C．bdcea. D．bcade. 3．Which statement does the author probably agree with? A．Be sure what you do is true to what you say. B．Always act according to what you know is right. C．Individual success is not so important today. D．Real greatness is being kind to the unimportant. Passage 5 （24-25高二下·广东韶关·期末） As my 70th birthday approached. I felt motivated to do something special. Something personal. Something meaningful. I asked myself, “How can I fill my memory bank? Swim 70 laps? Make 70 charity donations? More than anything, I wanted to spend cherisned time with loved ones — without preparing a guest list as well as planning and hosting a party during the holidays, which was a particular burden for me. Then I landed a plan. I would record 70 experiences over the year with the people I love. Their job: to propose (提议). My job: to say yes. I sent emails to every single one I know, telling them my plan. My inbox quickly was filled with offers. Come pick berries on my farm. I’ll make you pizza! How about a theater trip to London? Let’s drink high tea wearing hats and gloves at a fancy hotel. I’m taking you to a modern dance class. As responses multiplied, I felt gratitude for my wonderful list of longtime friends and for the inspired menu being laid out before me. I created a journal to keep track of my ambitious undertaking. As offers came in, I added them to the master list. Despite distance, full schedules and plain old routines, I had a few new experiences each month. Though I did not hang glide (滑翔), or eat insects - which were suggested — I hiked, picnicked, rode the ferry boat and train, drank steaming cups of coffee, attended literary events, road-tripped to LA, and traveled overseas to stay with friends in Europe. Having reached 70, I feel full, not in a cake-and-ice-cream way, but filled with memories of a year well spent. My birthday project confirmed for me that what really matters is the excitement of my own inner experience and that though the eras pass us by, the voices of the past live on. My year of fun helped me see that though I may slow down as I age, neither my brilliance nor my friendships have darkened. I won’t stop dancing until the floor drops out from under me. 1．What is the focus of the author’s 70th birthday celebration plan? A．A special guest list. B．A memorable party. C．Some meaningful trips. D．Some shared moments. 2．What best describes the author’s friends in terms of their responses? A．Unconcerned. B．Hesitant. C．Enthusiastic. D．Dismissive. 3．What can be learned about the author during the year? A．She traveled abroad. B．She wrote literature. C．She ate a lot of ice-cream. D．She learned to drive a train. 4．What does the author try to convey in the last paragraph? A．Serious concerns about aging. B．Burning desire for friendship. C．Positive attitudes towards life. D．Genuine affection for dancing. 主题02 人与社会——善行义举 Passage 1 （24-25高二下·广东潮州·期末） An English woman has found her calling and recycled more than 2000 pounds of trash after setting up a drop-off point in her garden for people to leave items that garbagemen don’t collect. Liz Pinfield-Wells built the DIY recycling center following the birth of her third child after she learned she couldn’t recycle his baby food pouches (袋子) . Along with the pouches, certain food packaging, and even toothbrushes were all excluded (排除) from her town’s curbside (路边的) recycling service. Inspired to take action, she set up a drop-off point at the end of her driveway and encouraged the public to leave their mixed recycled items. Since starting her green project four years ago, Liz has recycled 2,600 pounds of trash split (分) between 30 different categories of recyclable waste that’s not taken by trash collection and raised thousands for her local community in the process. Every month, she sends off the trash to TerraCycle, a firm that makes it into other items such as watering cans and benches. The weight of the junk is then converted (转变) into points for money which can be paid out twice a year to a charity or sports organization of her choice. In the last three years, Liz has raised more than £1,000, which she has donated to her 14-year-old daughter Zoe’s gymnastic group to buy new equipment. She has also donated a sum of money to another local charity to buy woodchips for their community garden. “It can sometimes seem a little intimidating choosing where to start with recycling but with every small step, it gets that little bit easier” she said. “I definitely think it has helped to raise awareness among my children about the need to recycle more too.” 1．What inspired Liz to set up a recycling center? A．Her child’s request. B．Her neighbors’ proposals. C．Her experience of working on a green project. D．Her learning of some trash being unrecyclable. 2．What did Liz do with the trash?

Passage 2 （24-25高二下·广东揭阳·期末） Like a lot of Canadians, Andrew Suboch grew up knowing little about Canada’s national game — lacrosse(曲棍球), other than watching some neighbours pass a ball using old wooden sticks. It was only when his two children started playing the game as part of their training for hockey (冰球) that he took much notice. His son, Jack, went on to excel at lacrosse and he now plays for the Vancouver Warriors of the National Lacrosse League. Both children came up through the Mimico Minor Lacrosse organization, in the Toronto area, which has been around since 1890. When the number of players in the kids’ league began falling in 2014, Mr. Suboch, who is a personal injury lawyer in Toronto, volunteered to step in. He offered to sponsor the “Baby Peanut” program, which introduced children ages 3 and 4 to the game. Thanks to his sponsorship, more than 100 children play for free each spring for eight weeks. They spend an hour every Saturday learning the game and every player is given a lightweight stick and a shirt. “They are taught to catch, throw, pass and shoot in a non-contact environment,” he said. “You get them running around. Get them away from the screen. It is our national game, so you get them exposed. And sure enough, they caught on.” To fund the program, Mr. Suboch came up with a novel idea. He started searching his neighbourhood for used appliances, metal and electronic items, such as computers and cellphones. He sorted the material and sold it to a local recycling centre. “Word has gotten out, so people now will give me their used electronics and metal stuff,” he said. The recycling effort raises around $20,000 annually, which covers the cost of the lacrosse program. Mr. Suboch said watching the kids play has given him a lot of satisfaction and joy. Not only is far less junk going to landfill sites, he said, but “we’ve also got kids who are not in front of a screen.” 1．Why did Andrew start sponsoring the “Baby Peanut” program? A．His son asked him to support the game. B．The kids’ league faced declining participation. C．He wanted to promote his own law firm. D．He hoped to popularize a hockey organization. 2．What does the underlined phrase “caught on” in paragraph 4 mean? A．Learned the rules. B．Got injured. C．Attracted donations. D．Became interested. 3．How did Andrew obtain funds for the lacrosse program? A．By organizing charity matches. B．By collecting and selling used items. C．By charging participation fees. D．By raising money from the community. 4．What can we learn about the program’s impact? A．It reduced screen time for children. B．It increased waste sent to landfills. C．It made lacrosse popular worldwide. D．It created jobs for the local residents. 1 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $耐学科网 www.zxxk.co 专题02阅读理解 答案版 基础 必组 主题01人与自我一个人经历 Passage 1:1.B 2.C 3.D 4.C Passage 2:1.D 2.C 3.B 4.A Passage 3:1.C 2.C 3.B Passage4:1.C 2.B 3.C 4.A 主题02人与社会善行义举 Passage 1:1.B 2.D 3.D 4.A Passage 2:1.D 2.A 3.B 进阶 提手 主题1人与自我一个人经历 Passage 1:1.D 2.B 3.D 4.C Passage 2:1.A 2.D 3.C4.D Passage 3:1.B 2.D 3.C4.A Passage 4:1.C 2.A3.D Passage 5:1.D 2.C3.A4.C 主题02人与社会善行义举 1/2 让教与学更高效 (记叙文) 耐学科网 Passage 1:1.D 2.C 3 Passage 2:1.B 2.D 3 www .zxxk .com D 4.C 4.A 2/2 让教与学更高效 专题02 阅读理解（记叙文） 主题01 人与自我——个人经历 Passage 1 （24-25高二下·广东汕尾·期末） Oliver’s brain is always overflowing with curiosity and imagination, which makes it difficult for him to focus at school or to feel like he fits in. First introduced in Lynda Mullaly Hunt’s 2016 novel, Fish in a Tree, the boy has a starring role in her picture book for readers aged six and up, Wish in a Tree. This is a book celebrating creative thinking and other things that set us apart. Hunt did not have to search far to find her inspiration for Fish in a Tree and its companion. “This is my own story,” she said. “As a sixth grader with ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder注意缺陷障碍), I vividly remember hearing other kids writing something on their papers and thinking, ‘I cannot do that. I must be really stupid.’” “My teacher literally saved me that year by speaking to me about how I was doing, and asking me to help first graders with math.” Hunt recalled. Those experiences inspired Hunt’s interest in becoming a teacher, and she taught third and sixth grades for 10 years before turning to writing. Though as a child she longed “to wave a magic wand (魔法棒) and be able to focus and get rid of the mind movies that made my life depressing,” she said, “it turned out to be a gift. I love kids and as a teacher the fact that I have ADD has meant that I am able to help them in useful ways.” Attesting to the fact that her sensitivity and empathy (同理心) run deep in her fiction, Hunt often hears that her books make readers cry. “I almost never cry while writing novels,” she said, “but when I wrote the line in which Oliver makes the wish ‘Please... please make me more like the rest of them,’ it made me tear up. I was right back there with that same childhood longing. It is so important that we continue to deliver the message that you are who you are, and you have to honor that. As I say in Wish in a Tree, ‘The tree is most beautiful when all the leaves are not the same.’” 1．What inspired Hunt to write Fish in a Tree? A．A student’s creative thinking. B．Her childhood struggles with ADD． C．A famous psychologist’s advice. D．Her own experience with a companion. 2．How did Hunt’s teacher influence her life? A．By criticizing her lack of focus in class. B．By recommending her books to children. C．By empowering her through talks and tasks. D．By telling her what ADD meant to a teacher. 3．Why does Hunt consider her ADD a “gift” now? A．It made her a bestselling author. B．It cured her childhood depression. C．It allowed her to focus on writing. D．It helped her connect with students. 4．What theme does Wish in a Tree primarily communicate? A．Fantasy stories help children process pain. B．Academic success requires strict discipline. C．Individual differences should be celebrated. D．Teachers must adapt to students’ special needs. 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．D 4．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作家Lynda Mullaly Hunt受自身童年经历启发，创作《树上的鱼》和《树上的愿望》等作品，强调接纳自我差异的主题。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段“Hunt did not have to search far to find her inspiration for Fish in a Tree and its companion. “This is my own story,” she said. “As a sixth grader with ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder), I vividly remember hearing other kids writing something on their papers and thinking, ‘I cannot do that. I must be really stupid.’”(Hunt没费多大力气就找到了创作《树上的鱼》和及其姊妹篇的灵感。“这是我自己的故事，”她说。“作为一个患有ADD(注意力缺陷障碍)的六年级学生，我清楚地记得听到其他孩子在纸上写东西，心想，‘我做不到。我一定很笨。’”)”可知，Hunt童年时因ADD而挣扎的经历激发了她创作《树上的鱼》。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据第三段““My teacher literally saved me that year by speaking to me about how I was doing, and asking me to help first graders with math.” Hunt recalled.(Hunt回忆道：“那年，我的老师主动找我谈心，询问我的近况，还让我去辅导一年级学生的数学——可以说，她实实在在地拯救了我的人生。”)”可知，Hunt的老师通过与她谈心并分配任务，赋予了她力量，从而影响了她的人生。故选C。 3．推理判断题。根据第四段“I love kids and as a teacher the fact that I have ADD has meant that I am able to help them in useful ways.(我喜欢孩子，作为一名教师，我患有ADD这一事实意味着我能够以有用的方式帮助他们)”可知，Hunt现在认为ADD是一种“礼物”，因为ADD帮助她与学生建立联系并有效帮助他们。故选D。 4．推理判断题。根据第四段“As I say in Wish in a Tree, ‘The tree is most beautiful when all the leaves are not the same.’(正如我在《树上的愿望》中所说，‘当所有的叶子都不一样时，树才是最美的’)”可知，《树上的愿望》主要传达的主题是应该赞美个体差异。故选C。 Passage 2 （24-25高二下·广东清远·期末） I discovered beauty content on YouTube in 2014, and shopping quickly became my hobby. I went from owning a single makeup bag to more than 200 lipsticks(口红) within a year. In November 2019, I hit rock bottom after spending $3,000 over Black Friday, feeling ashamed of myself. I knew I had a problem. That December, I clicked on a no-buy video on YouTube, where creators shared their experiences and tips. A year without shopping felt impossible-but the more I watched, the more I wondered: if I didn’t want to stop, was that a sign I should? On January 1, 2020, I started a year-long no-buy challenge with three rules: spend only on essentials like food and bills; replace beauty or fashion items only when they run out; and wait five days before buying any replacement. The first few weeks felt manageable-I was motivated to change. But soon my wants and needs blurred (变得模糊不清). For example, I would run out of a skincare item and convince myself I needed a new one, despite having plenty of others. For the rest of the year, I tried to justify purchases that fit in the grey area between my wants and my needs. My work wasn’t over when my no-buy year ended. I set a goal to develop a healthy relationship with money when I finally realized that I shopped to deal with stress. I started to explore healthier strategies like journaling, walking, and reading to manage tough emotions. I simplified my skincare routine, focused on essential products, and shifted from collecting to using. In 2023, I spent only $200 on makeup, which was a major improvement compared to my previous $1,000 annual spending. No-buy challenges are now a regular part of my life. Today, I’ve built savings and set financial goals. I still like shopping, but I do it more responsibly. 1．Why did the author begin a no-buy challenge in 2020? A．To follow a trend online. B．To test a new budgeting app. C．To save money for a big purchase. D．To break an unhealthy shopping habit. 2．What was one of the author’s rules for her no-buy journey? A．Replace items before they run out. B．Find products in secondhand stores. C．Delay replacement purchases by five days. D．Keep monthly expenses within a set budget. 3．Which best describes the author’s first-year no-buy experience? A．Overly restrictive. B．Partially effective. C．Fully transformative. D．Completely unsuccessful. 4．What is the best title for the text? A．Shopping Less, Living More. B．Learning More, Stressing Less. C．Exploring Nature, Finding Peace. D．Practicing Kindness, Spreading Joy. 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．B 4．A 【导语】这是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了作者从2014 年沉迷购物，到2019年意识到自己购物成瘾，于2020年开始为期一年的不买挑战，并在挑战过程中及结束后努力改变，最终与金钱建立健康关系，养成更负责任购物习惯的经历。 【详解】1．细节理解题。根据第一段“In November 2019, I hit rock bottom after spending $3,000 over Black Friday, feeling ashamed of myself. I knew I had a problem.(2019 年 11 月，在黑色星期五花费3000美元后，我陷入了低谷，为自己感到羞愧。我知道我有问题)” 以及第二段“if I didn’t want to stop, was that a sign I should?(如果我不想停止购物，这是不是意味着我应该停止呢)” 可知，作者开始不买挑战是为了改掉不健康的购物习惯。故选D。 2．细节理解题。根据第三段“On January 1, 2020, I started a year - long no - buy challenge with three rules: spend only on essentials like food and bills; replace beauty or fashion items only when they run out; and wait five days before buying any replacement.(2020年1月1日，我开始了为期一年的不买挑战，有三条规则：只在食物和账单等必需品上花钱；只有在美容或时尚物品用完时才更换；在购买任何替代品前等待五天)” 可知，作者不买挑战的规则之一是将替换购买推迟五天。故选C。 3．推理判断题。根据第四段“The first few weeks felt manageable-I was motivated to change. But soon my wants and needs blurred... For the rest of the year, I tried to justify purchases that fit in the grey area between my wants and my needs.(最初几周感觉还能应付——我有动力去改变。但很快我的欲望和需求就变得模糊不清…… 在这一年剩下的时间里，我试图为那些介于我的欲望和需求之间灰色地带的购买行为找理由)” 可知，作者在第一年的不买挑战中，虽然一开始有改变的动力，但后来还是会为一些不必要的购买找理由，说明这个挑战只是部分有效。故选B。 4．主旨大意题。通读全文可推知，文章主要讲述了作者从2014年沉迷购物，到2019年意识到自己购物成瘾，于2020年开始为期一年的不买挑战，并在挑战过程中及结束后努力改变，最终与金钱建立健康关系，养成更负责任购物习惯的经历。所以短文的最佳标题为“少购物，多生活”。故选A。 Passage 3 （24-25高二下·广东梅州·期末） The leather jacket is age-worn and soft. I found it hanging in the window of a shop in Brighton, England. I was there to deliver a talk on modern women’s writing at an international conference, a PhD student eager to make a name for herself and waiting for her life to start. I had just turned 28. I’m still closely connected to that woman, her dreams and her ambition, although she also frightens me. She was always quite determined, this leather jacket woman—she had a five-year plan and was sticking to it! This was the woman who couldn’t find time to visit her grandmother, who regularly missed her nieces’ and nephews’ birthday parties, and who left and didn’t look back. She and I are one and the same, but we are also very different. There was a change that happened a few years into the five-year plan. Each time one goal post was reached, another took its place. This is the pattern of the overly ambitious. I started to doubt whether it would result in any real success other than an unwavering (坚定不移的) ability to give up everything else along the way. My determination wavered. I realized I didn’t want the same things anymore. The jacket moved to the back of the wardrobe (衣橱). Seven years later, as I stand in front of my wardrobe filled with useless clothes, I don’t know what to do with the jacket. When England’s cold spread to my bones years earlier, the jacket had felt like a practical thing I bought. Here in Australia’s sunshine, it always felt a little silly. I let it fall heavily on the bed alongside the other clothes I’ve decided to give away because they no longer make the cut. Yet, despite its uselessness and how much space it takes up, at the last moment I return the leather jacket to the wardrobe. I think it will always stand for a part of myself that I’m not quite willing to give up forever—that ambitious, motivated woman. 1．What does the author mainly tell us in paragraph 2? A．Her taste in clothing. B．Her original dreams. C．Her character in her late 20s. D．Her family relationships. 2．What happened to the author in paragraph 3? A．She was proud of her success. B．She cared less about dressing. C．She started losing ambition. D．She seldom doubted her plan. 3．Why did the author keep the jacket? A．To encourage other women. B．To treasure her real self. C．To help her set goals. D．To help her keep warm. 【答案】1．C 2．C 3．B 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者与一件皮夹克之间的关系，夹克提醒作者自己的梦想和抱负，也提醒作者保留真实的自己。 1．主旨大意题。根据第一段“I had just turned 28.(我刚刚满28岁)”和第二段“I’m still closely connected to that woman, her dreams and her ambition, although she also frightens me. She was always quite determined, this leather jacket woman—she had a five-year plan and was sticking to it! This was the woman who couldn’t find time to visit her grandmother, who regularly missed her nieces’ and nephews’ birthday parties, and who left and didn’t look back.(我依然与那个女人紧密相连，无论是她的梦想还是她的抱负，尽管她同时也让我心生畏惧。这个身着皮夹克的女人向来意志坚定——她有着一份五年规划，并且始终坚定不移地朝着目标迈进！就是这个女人，她抽不出时间去看望祖母，总是错过侄子侄女们的生日派对，而且一旦离开便绝不回头)”可知，作者在第二段主要告诉我们她20多岁时的性格。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据第三段“I started to doubt whether it would result in any real success other than an unwavering (坚定不移的) ability to give up everything else along the way. My determination wavered. I realized I didn’t want the same things anymore.(我开始怀疑，这样做除了让自己在过程中坚定不移地舍弃其他一切之外，是否真的能带来任何实质性的成功。我的决心动摇了。我意识到，自己已不再渴望那些曾经追求的东西)”可知，作者开始失去野心。故选C。 3．推理判断题。根据最后一段“I think it will always stand for a part of myself that I’m not quite willing to give up forever—that ambitious, motivated woman.(我想，它将永远代表着我内心深处那个不愿永远舍弃的自我——那个雄心勃勃、积极进取的女人)”可推知，作者保留这件夹克是为了珍惜真实的自己。故选B。 Passage 4 （24-25高二下·广东深圳龙岗区·期末） Li Dongju, a 66-year-old grandmother from Zhengzhou, has cycled alone through 12 countries across Asia, Europe, and Australia. Her journey began in 2013 when she saw cyclists speeding past. “Before cycling, I was like a frog in a well,” she recalls. “Now I’m a wild wolf — free and fearless!” In 2005, Li divorced. She struggled with depression for years. With only 3,000 yuan monthly pension (退休金), Li budgeted carefully. To save money, she worked as a cleaner and hotel dishwasher. Her son gifted her a folding bike, and she traveled cheaply by camping or staying with locals. Her first Southeast Asia trip left her alone in Vietnam after losing her group. Undeterred, she continued to bike across China, accompanied only by her brown pet dog Xili. In 2017, Li returned to Southeast Asia, this time better equipped with a smartphone and a travel plan. Her companions chose to return home after three weeks, but Li pressed on, cycling through Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, and Myanmar. By 2019, she was ready for her most ambitious challenge yet: cycling through six European countries over 66 days. In November, she flew to Australia. As she cycled along the Pacific Highway, a quiet coastal road, she spotted smoke shooting from nearby brush and alerted the local police with a video she shot, preventing a serious fire from developing. “I was so proud of myself.” Li said. “I felt like I’d done a little bit for Australia.” Though she lost her backpack once, she remembers most the strangers’ kindness and brings Chinese knots to show gratitude to all those who have helped her out of trouble during travelling. When the pandemic held up her travels in 2020, Li realized she’d stopped taking pills for depression. Now planning to ride from Kazakhstan to UAE, she aims for 100 countries “Travel is like a drug,” she smiles. “Once you taste it, you can’t stop.” 1．What initially inspired Li Dongju’s cycling journey? A．Her doctor’s suggestion. B．Her son’s encouragement. C．Seeing passing cyclists. D．Recalling the travel journal. 2．What does the underlined word “Undeterred” in paragraph 2 mean? A．Not determined. B．Not discouraged. C．Not identified. D．Not injured. 3．What did Li do to prevent a fire in Australia? A．Sound the alarm nearby. B．Put out the fire with water. C．Inform the police with a video. D．Guide firefighters to the scene. 4．Which of the following best describes Li’s bike journey? A．Tough but life-changing. B．Lonely but comfortable. C．Costly but rewarding. D．Brief but meaningful. 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．C 4．A 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了来自郑州的66岁奶奶李东菊，2013年受骑行者启发开启独自骑行之旅，她经历离婚、抑郁等困境，凭借微薄退休金，通过打工省钱，独自或与宠物狗相伴骑行，游历亚洲、欧洲、澳大利亚多个国家，在旅途中收获成长，克服抑郁，这段骑行之旅艰苦却改变了她的生活。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Her journey began in 2013 when she saw cyclists speeding past.(她的旅程始于2013年，当时她看到骑自行车的人飞驰而过)”可知，最初激发李东菊骑行之旅的是看到路过的骑行者。故选C项。 2．词义猜测题。根据前文“Her first Southeast Asia trip left her alone in Vietnam after losing her group.(她的第一次东南亚之旅，在与团队走散后，她独自留在了越南)”以及后文“she continued to bike across China, accompanied only by her brown pet dog Xili.(她继续在中国骑行，只有她棕色的宠物狗希利陪伴着她)”可知，尽管与团队走散独自在越南，她也没有气馁，继续骑行，所以“Undeterred”意思是“Not discouraged（不气馁的）”。故选B项。 3．细节理解题。根据第四段中的“In November, she flew to Australia. As she cycled along the Pacific Highway, a quiet coastal road, she spotted smoke shooting from nearby brush and alerted the local police with a video she shot, preventing a serious fire from developing.(11 月，她飞往了澳大利亚。当她沿着太平洋公路，一条安静的沿海公路骑行时，她发现附近灌木丛中冒出浓烟，并用拍摄的视频提醒了当地警方，从而阻止了一场严重火灾的发生)”可知，李东菊通过拍摄视频通知警方来阻止澳大利亚的火灾。故选C项。 4．推理判断题。根据第二段“In 2005, Li divorced. She struggled with depression for years. With only 3,000 yuan monthly pension (退休金), Li budgeted carefully. To save money, she worked as a cleaner and hotel dishwasher. Her son gifted her a folding bike, and she traveled cheaply by camping or staying with locals. Her first Southeast Asia trip left her alone in Vietnam after losing her group.(2005年，李女士离婚了。此后数年，她一直与抑郁症作斗争。李女士每月仅有3000元退休金，因此她精打细算。为了省钱，她当过清洁工和酒店洗碗工。她儿子送给她一辆折叠自行车，于是她通过露营或借住在当地人家的方式，开启了经济实惠的旅行。她的第一次东南亚之行，在与团队走散后，她独自留在了越南)”可知，她离婚后与抑郁作斗争，靠微薄退休金和打工省钱，旅途中还会遇到与团队走散等情况，可知骑行之旅很艰苦；再根据最后一段“Though she lost her backpack once, she remembers most the strangers’ kindness and brings Chinese knots to show gratitude to all those who have helped her out of trouble during travelling. When the pandemic held up her travels in 2020, Li realized she’d stopped taking pills for depression.(虽然她曾经丢过背包，但她最记得的是陌生人的善意，并带上中国结来感谢所有在旅行中帮助她摆脱困境的人。2020年疫情阻碍了她的旅行时，李意识到她已经停止服用抗抑郁药物了)”可知，骑行之旅改变了她的生活，让她克服了抑郁。所以李东菊的骑行之旅艰苦但改变人生。故选A项。 主题02 人与社会——善行义举 Passage 1 （24-25高二下·广东揭阳·期末） I was a volunteer with the city of Milpitas and was studying at Mission College. One night after going to class, I was heading home and decided to stop off at a burrito (墨西哥卷饼) restaurant. I got my burrito and started to head for my car when I was approached by a homeless man. He was very dirty and obviously very hungry. He asked me for some change to buy a little food. As I was pulling some change out, I had an idea. I asked him to follow me back into the burrito restaurant to order. He was ashamed of the way he looked and said he did not want to go in there. But I insisted. When he finally followed me in, the people behind the counter (柜台) refused to let him in, but I told them that I was buying him dinner and he had a right to be there. After we argued over it for a while, they finally gave in. It seemed like he was relieved a bit to be sitting at a table. I asked him to order whatever he wanted. But he only ordered a burrito. For someone who has been on the fringes (边缘) of society, he was very surprised at my generosity. But to me, it was what any “human being” should do or at least offer. You had to be there to see the look in his face. It reminded me when I was young, my mom brought out a big birthday cake for me on my birthday, with all the candy, chocolate and goodies that we were about to eat. I think he felt special, like he was getting attention, something that I could see he hadn’t experienced in a long time. I often think about this story because, to me, it’s not just about helping someone out by feeding them. It’s more about giving them the respect and dignity of being a human being and allowing them to feel good about themselves. 1．Why did the homeless man approach the author? A．To ask for a lift. B．To beg for money. C．To request a burrito. D．To seek company. 2．What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 2 refer to? A．Where to sit in the restaurant. B．What to order for the homeless man. C．Whether to buy dinner for the homeless man. D．Whether to allow the homeless man to enter the restaurant. 3．Why does the author mention his birthday in paragraph 3? A．To demonstrate his wonderful childhood. B．To stress the importance of enjoying a feast. C．To contrast his life with that of the homeless man. D．To describe the happy feelings of the homeless man. 4．What does the author suggest doing in the last paragraph? A．Treating others with respect. B．Fighting against the world of hunger. C．Encouraging acts of bravery. D．Paying attention to the homeless. 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．D 4．A 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者帮助一位流浪汉进入餐馆用餐并让他感受到尊重和温暖的故事。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段中“He asked me for some change to buy a little food.(他向我要些零钱买点吃的)”可知，无家可归的男子靠近作者是为了乞讨钱。故选B。 2．词句猜测题。根据第二段中“When he finally followed me in, the people behind the counter refused to let him in, but I told them that I was buying him dinner and he had a right to be there. After we argued over it for a while, they finally gave in.(当他终于跟着我进来时，柜台后面的人拒绝让他进来，但我告诉他们我要给他买晚餐，他有权待在那里。我们就这件事争论了一会儿后，他们终于让步了)”可知，作者和柜台后面的人争论了一会儿后，他们才同意让流浪汉进入餐馆，“it”指“是否允许流浪汉进入餐馆”。故选D。 3．推理判断题。根据第三段中“I think he felt special, like he was getting attention, something that I could see he hadn’t experienced in a long time.(我觉得他很特别，就像他得到了关注，我可以看出他已经很久没有这种感觉了)”以及作者提及小时候生日时妈妈准备蛋糕带来的快乐，可知作者是用自己的快乐感受来描述无家可归男子当时的幸福心情。故选D。 4．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“It’s more about giving them the respect and dignity of being a human being and allowing them to feel good about themselves.(更多的是给予他们作为人的尊重和尊严，让他们自我感觉良好)”可知，作者在最后一段建议要尊重他人。故选A。 Passage 2 （24-25高二下·广东佛山·期末） When Lola, the pet dog that had accompanied me for 14 years, passed away, I felt a part of me had died with her. The grief (悲痛) I felt was terrible, and I was desperate for a change. So, I left my familiar life behind and signed up to study Portuguese in Brazil. But my grief followed me across the ocean. While walking on the street one day, I saw a dog squeeze (挤) into a hole in a building. I went over and discovered that the dog had just given birth to some puppies, several already dead. I called the fire department, but no one helped. Then I called an animal protector friend. After many failed attempts, we finally got the puppies out. I held the sweet puppies in my hands and saw the mama dog’s relieved face as I brought them to her one by one. I instantly felt an incredible bond with this family and promised to do my absolute best to find them great homes. I didn’t know it at the time, but that was the day I became an animal protector. Since then, I’ve rescued over 15 animals, mostly dogs. I began rehoming them with “adopt me” shirts at shopping malls—and it worked! I kept close contact with adopters, including a home visit after one year. But the love I gave was nothing compared to the love I received. Each life I saved helped me put pieces of my broken heart back together. I now have three dogs of my own, including Bambi — one of the first rescued puppies. I had told myself I could never own another dog again after Lola, but with Bambi, something clicked. I hadn’t felt that much love and connection since Lola died. Rescuing animals has helped me process my grief. I’ve found a new sense of identity and purpose beyond my life. 1．What caused the author to go to Brazil? A．The urge to seek a new pet. B．Her will to rescue animals. C．Her desire to learn Portuguese. D．The wish to relieve her pain. 2．What can we learn about the author’s rescue of the puppies? A．It initiated her efforts to protect animals. B．It involved support from local authorities. C．It helped her bond with like-minded people. D．It showed her the tough situation of animals. 3．What does the underlined part in paragraph 5 tell us about the author? A．She began to forget about Lola. B．She felt a connection with Bambi. C．She decided to adopt more dogs. D．She would continue rescuing dogs. 【答案】1．D 2．A 3．B 【导语】这是一篇记叙文，文章主要讲述作者在宠物Lola去世后，通过拯救动物帮助克服了悲伤，找到了一种超越生活的新身份和目标。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段中“The grief (悲痛) I felt was terrible, and I was desperate for a change. So, I left my familiar life behind and signed up to study Portuguese in Brazil.(我感到的悲伤是可怕的，我非常渴望改变。所以，我离开了我熟悉的生活，报名去巴西学习葡萄牙语)”可知，作者去巴西是希望能缓解悲伤，故选D。 2．细节理解题。根据第三段中“I instantly felt an incredible bond with this family and promised to do my absolute best to find them great homes. I didn’t know it at the time, but that was the day I became an animal protector.(我立刻感受到与这个家庭的不可思议的联系，并承诺尽我最大的努力为它们找到美好的家。我当时并不知道，但就在那天，我成为了一名动物保护者)”可知，作者救助小狗的行为开启了她保护动物的努力，故选A。 3．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“I had told myself I could never own another dog again after Lola, but with Bambi, something clicked. I hadn’t felt that much love and connection since Lola died.(我曾告诉自己，在Lola之后，我再也不能养狗了，但有了Bambi，我恍然大悟。自从Lola去世后，我就没有感受到这么多的爱和联系)”可知，作者以为在Lola去世之后不会再养其他狗狗，但是有了Bambi作者又感受到了很多爱和联系，由此推知“我恍然大悟”指的是作者感受到了和Bambi之间的联系，故选B。 主题01 人与自我——个人经历 Passage 1 （24-25高二下·广东汕头·期末） “Last day, team,” Sukie, the director, informed her troops — it was 9:30 on the final morning of the Barchester Literary Festival — “and Abi, darling, could you help collect I. B．Littlejohn, the famous novelist, from the station?” Abi managed to free her trusty Beetle from the festival carpark and headed for Barchester station. Sadly, there was no sign of Littlejohn, who decided to drive to his event but forgot to tell anyone. After half an hour spent yawning on the platform, Abi. who had averaged five hours’ sleep a night for the past week, drove back to the Green Room, only to find that the bottled water had run out, and that there were no sandwiches. Curiously enough, how did Abi, a middle-aged woman with an English and Creative Writing degree from Leicester University, end up in the festival management? A love of literature is probably the worst qualification imaginable for the job, but Abi, who had previously worked in consumer PR (Public Relations) arranging in-store appearances, was well-equipped to handle such crises. But the day wasn’t over yet. The delivery from the bookstore chain was nowhere to be seen and Sukie was absolutely angry. She assigned to Abi the unenviable task of explaining to Littlejohn, now being interviewed in the “media room”, why there were no books available for him to sign. It was a tough job. Finally Mr. Littlejohn agreed to greet his audience with the assurance that they would get his book, Last Bus to Blackley, signed and delivered home afterwards. In eight hours, it would all be over. The Green Room would be shut up; the volunteers would be dismissed home and Abi would drive off to her parents’ house and await the reward and maybe, just maybe, Sukie would keep her promise of a similar engagement next month. For now, though, Abi had to keep herself cool and make sure the festival ended on a high note. 1．What was the first problem Abi faced? A．Her car broke down in the carpark. B．No water and sandwiches were available. C．She only slept for five hours last night. D．The novelist didn’t turn up at the station. 2．What benefited Abi in managing the literary festival? A．Her deep love of literature. B．Her previous working experience. C．Her professional appearance. D．Her English and Creative Writing degree. 3．What was the consequence of the late arrival of the bookstore delivery? A．Sukie was barely annoyed all her learn. B．Littlejohn’s interview was to be delayed. C．Abi was probably dismissed from her post. D．Audience didn’t get signed books at the meeting. 4．Which of the following best describes the Barchester Literary Festival? A．Cool and successful. B．Organized but upsetting. C．Chaotic and eventful. D．Demanding but rewarding. 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．D 4．C 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了节庆活动管理人Abi在举办文学节的时候遭遇了各种情况，但最终都一一解决的故事。 1．细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Sadly, there was no sign of Littlejohn, who decided to drive to his event but forgot to tell anyone.(遗憾的是，火车站里没有Littlejohn的踪迹，他决定去开车参加活动，但忘记告诉了任何人。)”可知，Abi遇到的第一个问题就是没有在火车站接到Littlejohn。故选D项。 2．细节理解题。根据文章第四段“A love of literature is probably the worst qualification imaginable for the job, but Abi, who had previously worked in consumer PR (Public Relations) arranging in-store appearances, was well-equipped to handle such crises.(对于这份工作来说，热爱文学可能是最糟糕的资格了，但Abi之前曾在消费者公关部门（公共关系）工作，负责安排店内展示，她完全有能力处理这类危机。)”可知，Abi之前的工作经历有助于她处理文学节的工作。故选B项。 3．推理判断题。根据文章第六段“Finally Mr. Littlejohn agreed to greet his audience with the assurance that they would get his book,     Last Bus to Blackley, signed and delivered home afterwards.(最后，Littlejohn先生同意向他的观众致意，保证他们会在之后得到他签名的书《开往布莱克利的末班车》，书会直接寄回家中。)”可推断出，由于书店运输延误，观众们没有办法在见面会现场得到签名书。故选D项。 4．推理判断题。本文讲述了节庆活动管理人Abi在文学节上遇到了各种问题，比如没有接到签售专家、签售书籍延迟送达，可以看出此次节日充满了各种问题和事故，C项“Chaotic and eventful.(混乱的和事故多发的。)”最符合对本次节日的描述。故选C项。 Passage 2 （24-25高二下·广东云浮·期末） A leading dancer with National Ballet of China has inspired audiences with her talent and determination. Starting ballet at nine, she joined the Affiliated Secondary School of Beijing Dance Academy and quickly rose to fame. By 16, she had claimed gold at the Helsinki International Ballet Competition and joined National Ballet of China at 17. Her breakthrough came when she starred in Romeo and Juliet shortly after joining the company. “That’s when I truly fell in love with ballet,” she recalled. Known for her technical excellence and dedication, she often practiced over 12 hours daily to perfect multiple roles. “Ballet isn’t just a job— it’s my life’s purpose,” she said. However, her career faced a crisis in 2013 during a performance of The Little Mermaid, where she suffered a severe spinal injury. “My sacrum was distorted. I almost quit,” she admitted. For two years, she underwent painful recovery while starring in a war-themed film, Ballet in the Flames of War. “I refused to give up,” she explained. Returning to the stage in 2015, she shifted her focus from technical perfection to emotional storytelling. “Though my injury limits some moves, I now express deeper feelings through dance,” she said. Her performances gained international acclaim as she toured globally with National Ballet of China. “Sharing Chinese ballet worldwide is my greatest pride, and dance has become part of my soul,” she emphasized. Her story highlights the sacrifices behind artistic success. While admitting ballet demands extraordinary commitment, she finds joy in its rewards. “Every drop of sweat is worth it when I step onto the stage,” she said.

The nutritionist and sports coach from Kenya made several applications to study abroad, but it had no fruit. After several tries, luck soon found its way. One day, Kinuthia read an advertisement from the National Olympic Committee of Kenya, calling for people interested in pursuing further studies in sports-related subjects. With renewed hope, he submitted his application. “Luck was on my side,” Kinuthia said happily. “After considering my documents, they told me Okay.” Following careful preparation, Kinuthia’s dream was about to come true.

Zhou, in his address, warmly welcomed the students and said, “I know each of you will be serving as a goodwill ambassador of Kenya while in China. Not every Chinese can have the opportunity to be in Kenya. They will have their impression of Kenya by interaeting with you.” Kinuthia felt confident that he would represent Kenya, and would do a good job. Henry Rotich, the chairman of the Kenya-China Alumni Association, added that the scholarship program has become an important tool of education, strengthening the bonds of friendship between the two nations. For Kinuthia, this journey marks the beginning of a new chapter.

In 2018, I first came to China to study at Jiangxi University of Finance and Economics (JUFE) and actively participated in the university’s public welfare activities. Local people often called me “Yang Lei Feng”, which I later learned means “foreign Lei Feng”. Curious, I checked him online and discovered a young soldier known for his dedication to helping others. The more I read, the more I saw how his values matched the principles I desired to follow. Growing up in Bangladesh, I was fully aware of the challenges facing my community and my country — poverty, inequality, and limited access to education and healthcare were unpleasant realities that I witnessed firsthand. These experiences fired up my determination to contribute to positive change and ease the suffering of others. Greatly inspired, I established the Lei Feng International Volunteer Association on March 5, 2021 — Lei Feng Day — alongside young people from different countries at JUFE. Our mission is to support children with special needs, assist the elderly, promote environmental awareness, and enhance cross-cultural understanding. Through these efforts, we continue to keep Lei Feng’s spirit alive in a modern, global context. To know more about this young man, I traveled in 2023 to Liaoning province. I visited the Lei Feng Memorial Hall in Fushun, the city where he spent much of his life. The exhibits — his photographs, personal belongings, and diary entries — offered a glimpse into his selflessness. Returning from the trip, on Lei Feng Day in 2023, I took a bold step to spread his legacy beyond China by launching the global “Learn from Lei Feng” initiative. What began as a vision to promote his values internationally has since grown into a global movement, now spanning 15 countries. In a world often focused on individual success, Lei Feng’s philosophy of selflessness and community service felt more relevant than ever. His life was not about grand gestures but rather a series of small acts of kindness that, when multiplied, can create a better world for all. 1．Why did the author start the Lei Feng International Volunteer Association? A．To provide special support for children. B．To strengthen cooperation among students. C．To inspire global community service. D．To promote China-Bangladesh exchange. 2．What is the correct order of the following events? a. I visited the Lei Feng Memorial Hall. b. I became a student of Jiangxi University in China. c. I set up Lei Feng International Volunteer Association. d. I found many people in my hometown in need of help. e. I launched the global “Learn from Lei Feng” initiative. A．dbcae. B．dabce. C．bdcea. D．bcade. 3．Which statement does the author probably agree with? A．Be sure what you do is true to what you say. B．Always act according to what you know is right. C．Individual success is not so important today. D．Real greatness is being kind to the unimportant. 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述作者是来自孟加拉国的留学生，受雷锋精神启发，成立“雷锋国际志愿者协会”并发起全球倡议的经历。 1．细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Greatly inspired, I established the Lei Feng International Volunteer Association on March 5, 2021 — Lei Feng Day — alongside young people from different countries at JUFE. Our mission is to support children with special needs, assist the elderly, promote environmental awareness, and enhance cross-cultural understanding.(深受启发，2021年3月5日——雷锋日，我与江西财经大学来自不同国家的年轻人一起成立了雷锋国际志愿者协会。我们的使命是帮助有特殊需要的儿童、帮助老年人、提高环境意识以及增进跨文化理解。)”可知，作者成立该协会是为了推动全球社区服务。故选C项。 2．细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Growing up in Bangladesh, I was fully aware of the challenges facing my community and my country — poverty, inequality, and limited access to education and healthcare were unpleasant realities that I witnessed firsthand.(我在孟加拉国长大，亲眼目睹了我的社区和国家面临的挑战——贫困、不平等以及教育和医疗资源有限等令人不快的现实。)”可知，d（我发现家乡很多人需要帮助）是最早发生的；根据第二段中的“In 2018, I first came to China to study at Jiangxi University of Finance and Economics (JUFE) and actively participated in the university’s public welfare activities.(2018年，我第一次来到中国，在江西财经大学学习，并积极参加学校的公益活动。)”可知，b（我成为中国江西财经大学的学生）发生在2018年；根据第四段中的“Greatly inspired, I established the Lei Feng International Volunteer Association on March 5, 2021(深受启发，2021年3月5日，我成立了雷锋国际志愿者协会)”可知，c（我成立了雷锋国际志愿者协会）发生在2021年；根据第五段中的“To know more about this young man, I traveled in 2023 to Liaoning province. I visited the Lei Feng Memorial Hall in Fushun(为了更多地了解这个年轻人，我在2023年前往辽宁省。我参观了抚顺的雷锋纪念馆)”可知，a（我参观了雷锋纪念馆）发生在2023年；根据第六段中的“Returning from the trip, on Lei Feng Day in 2023, I took a bold step to spread his legacy beyond China by launching the global “Learn from Lei Feng” initiative.(旅行回来后，在2023年的雷锋日，我迈出了大胆的一步，发起了全球“向雷锋学习”倡议，将他的精神传承传播到中国以外的地方。)”可知，e（我发起了全球“向雷锋学习”倡议）发生在2023年参观纪念馆之后，所以事件顺序为dbcae。故选A项。 3．推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“His life was not about grand gestures but rather a series of small acts of kindness that, when multiplied, can create a better world for all.(他的人生不在于宏大的举动，而在于一系列微小的善举，这些善举累积起来，就能为所有人创造一个更美好的世界。)”可知，作者可能认同“真正的伟大在于对平凡的人施以善意”这一观点。故选D项。 Passage 5 （24-25高二下·广东韶关·期末） As my 70th birthday approached. I felt motivated to do something special. Something personal. Something meaningful. I asked myself, “How can I fill my memory bank? Swim 70 laps? Make 70 charity donations? More than anything, I wanted to spend cherisned time with loved ones — without preparing a guest list as well as planning and hosting a party during the holidays, which was a particular burden for me. Then I landed a plan. I would record 70 experiences over the year with the people I love. Their job: to propose (提议). My job: to say yes. I sent emails to every single one I know, telling them my plan. My inbox quickly was filled with offers. Come pick berries on my farm. I’ll make you pizza! How about a theater trip to London? Let’s drink high tea wearing hats and gloves at a fancy hotel. I’m taking you to a modern dance class. As responses multiplied, I felt gratitude for my wonderful list of longtime friends and for the inspired menu being laid out before me. I created a journal to keep track of my ambitious undertaking. As offers came in, I added them to the master list. Despite distance, full schedules and plain old routines, I had a few new experiences each month. Though I did not hang glide (滑翔), or eat insects - which were suggested — I hiked, picnicked, rode the ferry boat and train, drank steaming cups of coffee, attended literary events, road-tripped to LA, and traveled overseas to stay with friends in Europe. Having reached 70, I feel full, not in a cake-and-ice-cream way, but filled with memories of a year well spent. My birthday project confirmed for me that what really matters is the excitement of my own inner experience and that though the eras pass us by, the voices of the past live on. My year of fun helped me see that though I may slow down as I age, neither my brilliance nor my friendships have darkened. I won’t stop dancing until the floor drops out from under me. 1．What is the focus of the author’s 70th birthday celebration plan? A．A special guest list. B．A memorable party. C．Some meaningful trips.

Liz Pinfield-Wells built the DIY recycling center following the birth of her third child after she learned she couldn’t recycle his baby food pouches (袋子) . Along with the pouches, certain food packaging, and even toothbrushes were all excluded (排除) from her town’s curbside (路边的) recycling service. Inspired to take action, she set up a drop-off point at the end of her driveway and encouraged the public to leave their mixed recycled items. Since starting her green project four years ago, Liz has recycled 2,600 pounds of trash split (分) between 30 different categories of recyclable waste that’s not taken by trash collection and raised thousands for her local community in the process. Every month, she sends off the trash to TerraCycle, a firm that makes it into other items such as watering cans and benches. The weight of the junk is then converted (转变) into points for money which can be paid out twice a year to a charity or sports organization of her choice. In the last three years, Liz has raised more than £1,000, which she has donated to her 14-year-old daughter Zoe’s gymnastic group to buy new equipment. She has also donated a sum of money to another local charity to buy woodchips for their community garden. “It can sometimes seem a little intimidating choosing where to start with recycling but with every small step, it gets that little bit easier” she said. “I definitely think it has helped to raise awareness among my children about the need to recycle more too.” 1．What inspired Liz to set up a recycling center? A．Her child’s request. B．Her neighbors’ proposals. C．Her experience of working on a green project. D．Her learning of some trash being unrecyclable. 2．What did Liz do with the trash? A．She turned it into other items. B．She left it to the local garbagemen. C．She sold it and donated the money to her local community. D．She split it up and sent it to the curbside recycling service. 3．What does the underlined word “intimidating” in the last paragraph probably mean? A．Strange. B．Simple. C．Interesting. D．Discouraging. 4．Which of the following can best describe Liz? A．Ambitious and cool-headed. B．Adventurous and self-confident. C．Socially responsible and eco-minded. D． Highly intelligent and self-disciplined. 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．D 4．C 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。英国女性莉兹（Liz）因发现部分垃圾无法回收，在花园设回收点，四年回收2600磅垃圾，筹钱捐赠社区，还增强了孩子的环保意识。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段“Liz Pinfield-Wells built the DIY recycling center following the birth of her third child after she learned she couldn’t recycle his baby food pouches (袋子) . Along with the pouches, certain food packaging, and even toothbrushes were all excluded (排除) from her town’s curbside (路边的) recycling service. (莉兹・平菲尔德 - 威尔斯在第三个孩子出生后，得知无法回收他的婴儿食品袋，于是建立了这个DIY回收中心。除了这些袋子，某些食品包装，甚至牙刷都被排除在镇上的路边回收服务之外。)”可知，莉兹因了解到一些垃圾无法被回收而建立了回收中心。故选D项。 2．细节理解题。根据第四段“Every month, she sends off the trash to TerraCycle, a firm that makes it into other items such as watering cans and benches. The weight of the junk is then converted (转变) into points for money which can be paid out twice a year to a charity or sports organization of her choice. In the last three years, Liz has raised more than £1,000, which she has donated to her 14-year-old daughter Zoe’s gymnastic group to buy new equipment. She has also donated a sum of money to another local charity to buy woodchips for their community garden. (每个月，她都会把垃圾送到TerraCycle公司，这家公司将垃圾制成其他物品，如饮水罐和长凳。然后，垃圾的重量被转换为金钱积分，每年可以两次支付给她选择的慈善机构或体育组织。在过去的三年里，Liz筹集了1000多英镑，她将这笔钱捐给了14岁的女儿Zoe的体操团体，用于购买新设备。她还向当地另一家慈善机构捐款，为他们的社区花园购买木屑。)”可知，莉兹通过处理垃圾筹钱并捐赠给当地社区。故选C项。 3．词句猜测题。根据最后一段“It can sometimes seem a little intimidating choosing where to start with recycling but with every small step, it gets that little bit easier. (有时候，选择从哪里开始回收似乎有点intimidating ，但每迈出一小步，就会变得容易一点。)”可知，这里intimidating应与but后的easier形成对比，所以猜测intimidating意为“令人气馁的、使人却步的”，与D选项Discouraging语义一致。故选D项。 4．推理判断题。通读全文可知，文章主要讲莉兹建立回收中心处理不可回收垃圾，减少环境污染（体现环保意识），并将筹集的钱捐赠给当地社区和慈善机构（体现社会责任感）。因此C项Socially responsible and eco-minded (有社会责任感且有环保意识)最能描述她。故选C项。 Passage 2 （24-25高二下·广东揭阳·期末） Like a lot of Canadians, Andrew Suboch grew up knowing little about Canada’s national game — lacrosse(曲棍球), other than watching some neighbours pass a ball using old wooden sticks. It was only when his two children started playing the game as part of their training for hockey (冰球) that he took much notice. His son, Jack, went on to excel at lacrosse and he now plays for the Vancouver Warriors of the National Lacrosse League. Both children came up through the Mimico Minor Lacrosse organization, in the Toronto area, which has been around since 1890. When the number of players in the kids’ league began falling in 2014, Mr. Suboch, who is a personal injury lawyer in Toronto, volunteered to step in. He offered to sponsor the “Baby Peanut” program, which introduced children ages 3 and 4 to the game. Thanks to his sponsorship, more than 100 children play for free each spring for eight weeks. They spend an hour every Saturday learning the game and every player is given a lightweight stick and a shirt. “They are taught to catch, throw, pass and shoot in a non-contact environment,” he said. “You get them running around. Get them away from the screen. It is our national game, so you get them exposed. And sure enough, they caught on.” To fund the program, Mr. Suboch came up with a novel idea. He started searching his neighbourhood for used appliances, metal and electronic items, such as computers and cellphones.
