专题04 阅读理解记叙文 主题01 人与社会—— Passage 1 （24-25学年高一下·上海市浦东新区·期末） The Old Man and the Sea, written by Ernest Hemingway, is a timeless novella about an aging Cuban fisherman named Santiago. For eighty-four consecutive days, Santiago struggles without catching a single fish, becoming a symbol of bad luck in his small coastal village. His young apprentice, Manolin, admires Santiago deeply but is forced by his parents to leave the old man’s boat and join a more successful fisherman. Despite his loneliness and the villagers’ pity, Santiago remains determined. On the eighty-fifth day, he ventures far into the Gulf Stream, where he hooks a massive marlin — a fish larger than his own boat. The marlin drags Santiago’s boat for two days and nights. The old man, weakened by hunger and exhaustion, battles the fish with every ounce of strength, refusing to surrender. “Pain does not matter to a man,” he whispers, embodying his code of resilience. When he finally kills the marlin, he ties it to the side of his boat, only to face a new threat: sharks attracted by the marlin’s blood. Santiago fights fiercely with makeshift weapons — harpoons, oars, and even a knife — but the sharks strip the marlin to its skeleton. Returning to shore, Santiago collapses in his hut. Though he brings back nothing but bones, the village marvels at the skeleton’s size, and Manolin weeps at the old man’s injuries. Hemingway’s story is a celebration of human endurance: Santiago proves that defeat in action can coexist with victory in spirit. 1．What is the main conflict in the story? A．Santiago’s battle with the marlin and sharks. B．Santiago’s struggle against poverty. C．Manolin’s conflict with his parents. D．The villagers’ distrust of Santiago. 2．Why does Manolin leave Santiago? A．He wants to learn from a richer fisherman. B．His parents force him to leave. C．He loses faith in Santiago’s luck. D．Santiago asks him to go. 3．What does the marlin symbolize in the story? A．Unpredictable nature. B．The failure of effort. C．A test of Santiago’s determination. D．The village’s scorn. 4．What theme does Hemingway emphasize in The Old Man and the Sea? A．The importance of wealth. B．The loneliness of old age. C．The danger of the ocean. D．The power of perseverance. Passage 2 （24-25高一下·上海市控江中学·期末） The Battle of Gettysburg was fought between July 1 and July 3,1863. It was one of the bloodiest battles in the American Civil War, with over 51,000 casualties (伤亡人员). Abraham Lincoln was asked to deliver a message at the dedication of the Gettysburg Civil War Cemetery on November 19,1863. The Civil War was still going on. There was much criticism of President Lincoln at the time. He had been invited to speak at Gettysburg only out of politeness. The featured speaker for the occasion was Edward Everett, a former dean of Harvard University, and one of the most famous orators (演说家) of his day. It is said that Lincoln prepared his speech on the train while on his way to Gettysburg. Later that night, alone in his hotel room and tired out, he again worked briefly on the speech. The next day Everett spoke first. His speech lasted an hour and 57 minutes and it was a perfect example of the day. Then Lincoln rose. The crowd of 15,000 people at first paid little attention to him. He spoke for less than three minutes, and the photographer standing in front of him didn’t even have time to take a picture. The speech was over almost before it began. At the end there was little applause. Lincoln turned to a friend and said, “I have failed again.” But little by little, as people read the speech, they began to like its simplicity and its deep meaning. It was a speech which only Abraham Lincoln could have made. Now it is recognized as one of the most powerful statements in the English language and, in fact, one of the most important expressions of freedom and liberty-in-any language. Indeed, Everett afterward wrote to Lincoln “I wish that I could flatter myself that I had come as near to the central idea of the occasion in two hours as you did in two minutes.” 5．Lincoln was invited to speak at the National Soldiers Cemetery, as ________. A．he had made great contributions to the Civil War B．he was one of the most popular orators of his day C．he was president of the United States at the time D．he was a friend of the featured speaker Everett 6．It can be learned from the passage that ________. A．Lincoln made the speech in the hope that the war would end B．Lincoln seemed not to have had a lot of time to prepare his speech C．it was the first time that Lincoln’s speech had ended in failure D．it was on the train to Gettysburg that Lincoln redrafted his speech 7．In the last paragraph, “the central idea” probably refers to ________. A．freedom and liberty B．fame and wealth C．power of language D．recognition of the public 8．From what Everett wrote to Lincoln, we learn that ________. A．he felt a bit jealous about Lincoln’s success B．he regretted making a speech in Lincoln’s presence C．he thought Lincoln’s speech was short but powerful D．he was confident in his ability to make a better speech next time 主题02 人与自我—— Passage 1 （24-25高一下·上海市上海交通大学附属中学·期末） At 45, I noticed my first gray hairs, and my hairdresser claimed she had a special elixir (灵丹妙药) to naturally and almost undetectably mask them. Unsure whether to start this operation, I studied my reflection, realizing the gray was more widespread than I had admitted. Instead of merely threading between darker hairs, the gray had taken over large sections of my head, particularly on the sides and back. “I suggest we leave some in,” my hairdresser proposed, “just enough to make you look distinguished.” I nodded, but the word “distinguished” felt like a polite synonym for “old”. For seven years, I followed this monthly ritual, each time hoping to hide the gray, though my wife insisted that gray hair looked great on men my age, pointing to silver-haired celebrities like George Clooney and Anderson Cooper. They were silver foxes, and I envied their confident acceptance of their aging looks. One afternoon, my wife broke her silence, telling me my hair had turned green from the dye. She suggested I let my natural gray come through. In an attempt to accept this change, I visited a beauty shop in Missoula, Montana. The stylist advised me to shave it off. Week by week, my gray hair grew back, forcing me to face up to my aging appearance with a new clarity. The final push came at a New York City sandwich shop. After taking my order, one of the girls behind the counter asked if she could ask me something. The girl, who appeared to be 18 or so, followed with something like: “It’s not that I think you look old or anything, but when was doo-wop? Do you remember? Doo-wop music? When was that? The’ 50s? The’ 40s?” “Late’50s, early’60s,” I said coolly. Did the girl really think that I’d been on the scene then, or did she merely find me professional, a man who appeared to be rich in general knowledge? “That must have been so cool,” she said. “Walking around hearing singing on all the corners!” I suddenly found my gray hair was nothing bad. Interestingly, I’ve never dyed my hair since then. Now, I have grown comfortable with my gray hair. On good days, I even feel a bit like those silver-haired celebrities. However, I still avoid my old hairdresser, not wanting to confront the failure of our shared secret. Instead, I accept my silver hair as part of who I am. 9．What does the writer’ wife think of his gray hair? A．She believes it makes him look great. B．She suggests he should dye it a different color. C．She thinks it distinguishes him from celebrities. D．She criticizes his decision to stop dyeing his hair. 10．The word “synonym”(paragraph 2)is closest in meaning to ______. A．opposite B．equivalent C．pretense D．behavior 11．How did the girl in the sandwich shop affect the writer? A．She complimented his gray hair, boosting his self-confidence greatly. B．She mentioned an old type of music, trying to check his age. C．She asked him a question, making him feel good about himself. D．She recommended a regular hair dye, influencing his decision to change his hair color. 12．What is the passage mainly about? A．The writer’s journey towards accepting his natural gray hair. B．The writer’s struggle with maintaining his hairstyle over years. C．The writer’s experience with different hairdressers and their advice. D．The writer’s admiration for silver-haired celebrities like George Clooney. Passage 2 （24-25高一下·上海市同济大学第二附属中学·期末） I’ve been a runner all my adult life. At six feet, seven inches and 240 pounds, I don’t look like your average long-distance athlete, but I was in great shape. Four years ago, at 44, I was at my peak fitness, training hard for my second London Marathon. My goal was to finish in less than four hours, and after some solid 20-mile practice runs, I was confident I could manage around 3 hours and 40 minutes. I always believed that if you weren’t completely spent by the finish, you hadn’t given it your all. Race day started well. The sticky weather was eased by a light rain, and everything felt right. But by mile 19, things changed. It wasn’t physical exhaustion—it was mental. I felt disconnected, like I wasn’t fully there. The cheering crowds faded into the background. At mile 24, I completely forgot to wave to my wife, as we’d planned. By the time I saw Big Ben, my legs felt heavy, as if they were moving through thick liquid. Still, I pushed on. Turning the final corner, I saw the finish line and knew I’d make it in under four hours. That’s my last memory. Witnesses later said I staggered across the line, collected my medal, and reached the media tent before collapsing. My body had overheated, causing my liver and kidneys (肝和肾) to shut down. I was rushed to St. Thomas’s hospital and treated for pneumonia (肺炎). The doctors told me that most people don’t survive this condition, but my fitness and the quick actions of medics saved me. When I woke up, my first question was, “What time did I do?” (Answer: 3 hours, 55 minutes and 46 seconds). My second was, “Why am I here?” Seeing the worry in my wife’s eyes filled me with guilt. She still won’t talk about that day. It took months to recover, and during that time, I re-evaluated my priorities. I realized times didn’t matter. Today, I run for joy, not speed—enjoying the scenery and running with my dog. The real victory is learning to love the journey. 13．What was the writer’s goal at the beginning for his second London Marathon? A．To finish the race within his target goal. B．To complete the race without taking a break. C．To reach a faster pace than a professional athlete. D．To improve on his previous marathon performance. 14．What can be learned about the man from his London Marathon experience? A．He gave up the race and couldn’t make it to the finish line. B．He realized that he had better achieve his goals gradually. C．He achieved his goal without facing too many difficulties. D．He pushed himself too much and faced a serious medical crisis. 15．How did the writer’s attitudes towards running change after the experience? A．He decided to give up running altogether to focus on recovery. B．He set a new goal to beat his previous best time in future races C．He started prioritizing the experience of running over competing. D．He started running shorter distances to avoid similar health issues 16．Which of the following might be the best title of the passage? A．The Dangers of Marathon Running B．A Runner’s Transformative Journey C．Overcoming Physical Limits in a Marathon D．How to Train for a Successful Marathon Passage 3 （24-25高一下·上海市黄浦区·期末） Jose Ferrer was known as one of the most successful American film actors of his generation, but he actually began his career in theater. He was born on January 8, 1909 in Puerto Rico and moved to the United States when he was six years old. His acting skills were first showcased while he attended Princeton University and performed with the Triangle Club, a student acting group whose alumni also include Jimmy Stewart and F. Scott Fitzgerald. After graduating, Ferrer continued to perform in theater until he made his first Broadway show in 1935 in the play Charley’s Aunt. He had many successful roles on Broadway, including a role in 1943 when he played the villain Iago in Shakespeare’s play Othello. The title role of Othello in that production was played by the famous actor Paul Robeson. With these two powerful performers, Othello became the longest running play in Broadway history. This record still stands. Ferrer’s greatest role, though, was still to come. In 1946, Ferrer was cast in the title role of Cyrano de Bergerac. He won the celebrated Tony award as Cyrano, the tragic hero who fights men with great courage but hides his love for the beautiful Roxanne. His success in this role led directly to his repeated performances as Cyrano in a film version (for which he won an Oscar) and a television version (for which he won an Emmy). He is the only actor to win all three of those special awards for playing the same role. This achievement is all the more outstanding because Cyrano de Bergerac was known as a desirable role, one that had been played very well previously by other talented actors. Through these roles, Ferrer earned a reputation on Broadway as an extremely flexible actor, talented enough to play many diverse roles. Eight years after his first show in professional theater, he finally started performing in movies. Once he began appearing in films, that skill translated into many great performances and memorable roles. His film career included both acting and directing opportunities and lasted nearly forty years. 17．Which of the following is in line with the author’s viewpoint? A．Cyrano de Bergerac was Ferrer’s favorite role to perform. B．Ferrer’s career was long because he was able to play many different roles. C．Ferrer regretted waiting years before he became a screen actor. D．Cyrano de Bergerac is the greatest role ever written for the Broadway stage. 18．Which of the following can be inferred from the passage? A．Most members of the Triangle Club have successful acting careers. B．Ferrer was more honored by his Tony award than by his Emmy or Oscar. C．The record-setting run of Othello may have been in part due to Paul Robeson. D．Ferrer did not perform again on Broadway after he began performing in movies. 19．The author would most likely agree with all of the following EXCEPT ________. A．Paul Robeson was seen by some as a very talented actor. B．Ferrer somewhat contributes to the success of Othello in history. C．Some actors consider Cyrano de Bergerac a role they would like to perform. D．Ferrer’s successful performance in Othello was his first Broadway performance. 20．Which of the following is the primary purpose of the passage? A．To discuss the success of Puerto Rican actors on Broadway. B．To contrast the history of theater with the history of television. C．To provide a brief summary of the career of a well-regarded American actor. D．To suggest that Jose Ferrer was the best actor ever to play Cyrano de Bergerac. 主题01 人与社会—— Passage 1 （24-25学年高一下·上海市杨浦区复旦大学附属中学·期末） One day, my 11-year-old daughter told me that she wanted to return a pair of pants on Amazon. “You need to keep clicking the ‘something else’ button if you want to talk to a real person,” I told her. She followed my word, and after a bit of clicking, she managed to talk to a real customer-service agent and get the pants returned. In the process, I had the chance to think about what this everyday interaction was teaching my daughter. I thought about what it meant to constantly ask for “something else”. It’s not only about having a real person to talk with. It’s equally about the quality of our communication. It involves thinking something, then saying it, and then having another person think and say something back to you. It seems simple and yet it may become the exception, not the rule. In many cases, it already has. With the “quick responses” at the bottom of many email platforms, potential responses often appear right in front of us. “Yes, sure.” “Of course!” or “I got it.” The responses, I’ve noticed, are mostly okay. Sometimes, they’re exactly what I want to say. Occasionally, they’re wildly wrong. At first, I told myself I wouldn’t use those pre-made responses. Soon enough, though, I got in a rush and found they were good. What would happen if our language got automated in general in this way? What if, instead of generating responses, we simply pointed and clicked? Choosing a response is a kind of thinking, but it’s far less accurate than the kind needed to generate content. It has to do more with recognizing a “good enough” response. Instead of starting with a blank board, we critique things. That’s not useless, but it doesn’t replace thinking in a generative way. If kids only critique something, they won’t have original thoughts. They may become great editors, but they’ll likely struggle to create ideas in fresh ways. There’s no simple solution and certainly no way to turn back the clock on automated talk. Yet, as we move forward, we need to consider carefully how simple changes in communication can have serious effects. If we want to help our kids, the “something else” we searched for — authentic human conversation — should not be the exception, but the rule. 1．What contributes to high-quality communication according to paragraph 2? A．The clear goals. B．The exact expressions. C．The process of thinking. D．The immediate response. 2．How does the author feel about using the pre-made responses? A．Curious and eager to try them out. B．Annoyed and resistant to their widespread use. C．Disappointed by their frequent inaccuracy. D．Unwilling but finally aware of their convenience. 3．What concern does the author raise about children’s overuse of automated language? A．It will make their expressions more accurate and efficient. B．It may limit the development of their editing and revising skills. C．It may undermine their capacity for original and independent thinking. D．It increases their engagement in thoughtful, meaningful communication. 4．What can be the best title for the text? A．My Reflection on the Automated Talk B．My Unforgettable Online Return Experience C．The Art of Guiding Children’s Creativity D．The Benefits of Using Automation in Communication Passage 2 （24-25高一下·上海市上海交通大学附属中学·期末） Why we love Labubu A new plush toy, called Labubu, has taken the internet by storm. My social media feeds are full of this mischievous, wide-eyed creature. But Labubu isn’t just a toy. It’s a cultural symbol — and it’s not just for kids. I’ll be honest — I fell into the trap too. My 9-year-old daughter had been eyeing Labubu online and talking about it nonstop. I managed to track down a blind box of six, and I’ll never forget the look in her eyes as she unboxed them one by one. She gave each Labubu a name and now brings one (sometimes more) with her everywhere. Her daily choice often depends on her mood — or her outfit. Labubu, I realized, is more than a toy. It’s a deeply psychological experience. Here’s why it’s resonating so strongly across the region: Why We Get Attached: Labubu as a Mirror for Our Feelings There’s a reason people name their Labubu, dress them up, and personify them. When we’re young, we learn to find comfort and safety in certain people. Sometimes, we extend those feelings to objects — like a favorite stuffed animal or blanket. These are known as transitional objects, and they help us feel secure and emotionally grounded. Labubu can play that role for both kids and adults. It becomes a safe way to express parts of ourselves, like our moods and our personality traits. Social Currency and Signaling Belonging Labubu has become a form of social currency. Owning one — especially a rare or customized version — signals that you’re tuned in to that cultural moment. Labubu allows for individuality to be expressed within those collective frameworks, especially for younger generations navigating both. Scarcity, Dopamine, and the Psychology of Collecting Labubu is often sold in “blind boxes,” where you don’t know which version you’ll get. This taps into variable ratio reinforcement — the same dopamine-driven cycle that keeps us scrolling on social media. The scarcity effect is another reason that people are hooked. We want and value things more when they seem exclusive and rare. 5．What does the author mean by saying “fell into the trap”? A．He/ She wasted money purchasing blind boxes of Labubu. B．He/ She couldn’t resist the appeal of Labubu and ended up getting involved with it. C．Under his/ her daughter’s constant pleading, he/ she had no choice but to buy it. D．The social media feeds tricked him/ her into buying blind boxes. 6．According to the passage, which of the following is not a reason why we love Labubu? A．It brings about a certain sense of comfort and safety. B．It offers a safe outlet for us to express various our moods and identities. C．If you have a customized Labubu, it shows that you’re part of a certain trendy group. D．It brings back sweet childhood memories and helps regulate our emotion. 7．Where are you mostly likely to see this article? A．In a scientific journal in psychology. B．On a shopping website promoting fashionable accessories. C．In the answer generated by an AI on the reasons why we love toys. D．In a column about current fashionable trends. 主题02 人与自我—— Passage 1 （24-25高一下·上海市上海市嘉定区嘉定一中·期末） We recently went to a friend’s backyard to meet her new puppy. He was lovely beyond words. Our friend was wearing smiles as she told us about his first days at home. It was truly puppy love. Later that night, I walked behind my own dog to help her climb up the stairs, and heated up the homemade food that helps control her kidney (肾) disease. You can’t imagine these extra cares when you began raising a puppy. For me, I am lucky to know this more “mature” love. To love, and to be loved, by an old dog is truly an honor. For a long time, I denied the fact that our dog was getting old, or I really didn’t notice that Skyler was getting older. But these days, there is no denying the fact. Sometimes, she will fall while eating from her bowl and wait patiently for someone to help her up. I still remember the first days of Skyler. In the home, she always needed to be beside someone, with at least one part of her touching one part of you. At the park, it was different. If we started running toward the end of a field, she would cross the finish line before we had even made it halfway. Now, at 15, Skyler still needs to be right beside you on the couch. But it is hard. It is sad to see this once fast, strong dog struggle to walk up the front steps or to see her begging eyes whenever she needs help to get up on the couch. Over the past few years, we have had to forgo certain family trips because we wanted to take care of her at home. However, I know this experience has taught our children about sacrifice and unconditional love. It has taught me the same. Dogs give us unconditional love. The least we can do is give it back. There will likely be times of great sadness and hardship, but in the end, you will feel very lucky for the time you have together. 8．In paragraph 2, why does the author mention what he did late that night? A．To complain about the troubles of raising a dog. B．To show her regret of meeting her friend’s new puppy. C．To tell readers that she is taking care of an old sick dog. D．To illustrate the correct way of caring for dogs. 9．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A．When the author first got Skyler, she was always running in the house. B．Skyler has always been eager to have people beside her. C．Skyler will beg for some food before she gets up. D．To take care of Skyler, the author often brings her during the journey. 10．What does the underlined word forgo in paragraph 5 most probably mean? A．cancel B．forget C．organize D．delay 11．According to the passage, what does the author think of keeping a dog? A．She is strongly against keeping a dog. B．She considers it a double-edged sword to keep a dog. C．She suggests we should think twice before keeping a dog. D．She thinks keeping a dog is worthwhile for the whole family. Passage 2 （24-25高一下·上海市松江区松江二中·期末） I’m a huge fan of the Pacific Northwest and its bright green forests, rough coastline, and beaches decorated with wood, but visiting a top national park in summer often brings the opposite of what I come for — being alone — as huge crowds try hard to park and take photos. So, my last visit to Olympic National Park was in mid-September. I ended up bathing in the peace and quiet of forest among ancient trees and staying close enough to nearby communities to feel safe. I thought that taking the jump from my comfortable hotel room in the park into the great outdoors was unpleasant at first. However, once I began walking slowly and aimlessly along the Hoh River Trail there and slowing down to observe beautiful sunlight and tiny mushrooms that looked like colorful umbrellas, I felt my breath deepen and my nervous system begin to relax for the first time in a long time. What I want to say is that just because the world seems obviously set up for twosomes doesn’t mean you have to let such a standard keep you from living your dreams right now. Solo travel has made me stronger and braver than I ever thought possible. It has opened up my worldview by throwing me out of my comfort zone again and again. When it comes to living conditions, the national park not only offers 15 campgrounds across its huge area, it’s also home to five other choices for guests who would prefer not to sleep alone inside a tent — the small national park houses. Although I enjoy being alone, I have to admit that one of the coolest things about these small houses is that they are there to strengthen connection among strangers, and as such, there is usually a big fireplace next to excellent armchairs and sofas where guests can move around and make small talks at night. In one small house called Lake Quinault, I talked with grey-haired seniors about the best old-growth forest walks and asked hotel workers about the Roosevelt Dining Room (so named after Franklin Delano Roosevelt, the president during 1933-1945, came to visit), right next door. 12．What made the author avoid visiting Olympic National Park in summer? A．The wish to stay close to communities. B．The likelihood to meet crowds of people. C．The quiet environment in an ancient forest. D．The rough coastlines and the woody beaches. 13．According to paragraph 2, the author thinks that traveling alone can ______. A．keep opening up her worldview B．slow her down in living her dreams C．stop her leaving her comfortable zone D．give her a chance to stay in hotel rooms 14．What can we learn from the last paragraph? A．Seniors in Lake Quinault are the best forest walkers there. B．The park offers five completely different places to stay in. C．Big fireplaces in houses are meant to strengthen connection. D．The author stayed in a house next door to a famous president. 15．The passage is mainly about ______. A．the author’s love for the Pacific Northwest B．the author’s solo trip to Olympic National Park C．the greatest tourist attractions in Olympic National Park D．the brief comparison between group travel and solo ones Passage 3 （24-25高一下·上海市复旦大学附属中学·期末） While I was in hospital, a friend recommended a popular online series of daily meditations, a “can’t afford to miss” in his mind. Mostly, the morning ones were impossible to do as the hospital routine starts at half past five, so I mostly listened the evening ones, which were very helpful. Once, however, I managed the morning one, which talked about the importance of doing something or creating something which will survive us. The works of great poets and writers come to mind, but how many of us will write the next David Copperfield, or Ode to Autumn? Sporting triumphs also occur: the breaking of the four minute mile for instance. But again, how many of us are great athletes? So what can we do? Shakespeare writes, “The evil men do lives after them; the good is oft interred (often buried) with their bones.” For once, however, I think Shakespeare is wrong. I think the good we do can live after we have gone. Sir Terry Pratchett writes, “A man is not truly dead while his name is still spoken,” and I think that is more true. Perhaps we cannot expect our name to be remembered for hundreds or thousands of years, but to be remembered with kindness and even thankfulness after we’ve gone is surely something to strive for. I had two grannies when I was growing up. One was my mother’s mother; the other was our cousin’s grandmother on their father’s side. Our own grandmother died young, so this lovely lady adopted us as her honorary grandchildren. Granny was the most lovely and loving lady you could imagine. There were always cakes in the tin and a warm welcome whenever we visited, there were small presents at Christmas and on our birthdays, and we loved her dearly. It was only when I attended her funeral that I realized how far her love extended: the church was packed, and tale after tale was told of her kindness. Her name was — and possibly still is — spoken long after her death. I wish I could say the same of my other grandmother, but I can’t. My mother talks about her, but I don’t; there is no point in talking about unkindness. When I announced my retirement, a couple of months ago, I was stunned to receive so many emails and letters of thanks. My patients really appreciate all that I have done for them. That will last after I’m gone and spread down through generations. 16．Which of the following statements will the author probably agree with about the online meditation? A．The evening meditation are more important than the morning ones. B．The online meditation receive more attention in the evening. C．The morning meditation are difficult to use in daily life. D．The online meditation are worthy of the name. 17．The author quoted Sir Terry Pratchett’s words in order to __________. A．support Shakespeare’s statement on the afterlife B．argue that greatness is the only way to be remembered C．emphasize the importance of kindness to ordinary people D．criticize the idea that only evil deeds are remembered 18．Which of the following statements it TRUE according to the passage? A．The author’s granny on mother’s side was a kind person. B．Shakespeare believed the goodness fades far sooner than the evil. C．A man’s contribution is highly dependent on their achievements. D．People were happy to know the retirement of the author. 19．We can most probably find this passage in a __________. A．magazine featuring famous athletes B．blog post by a doctor who recently retired C．book about the importance of creating a legend D．medical journal discussing the benefits of meditation 主题03 人与自然—— Passage 1 （24-25高一下·上海市浦东新区·期末） I wanted the pleasure of being in Africa again. Feeling that the place was so large that it contained many untold tales and some hope and comedy and sweetness too, I aimed to reinsert myself in the bundy, as we used to call the bush, and to wander around. There I had lived and worked, happily, almost forty years ago, in the heart of the greenest continent. In those old undramatic days of my school teaching in the bundu, folks lived their lives on bush paths at the end of unpaved roads of red clay, in villages of grass-roofed huts. They had a new national flag, they had just gotten the vote, some had bikes, many talked about buying their first pair of shoes. They were hopeful, and, so was I, a schoolteacher living near a settlement of mud-huts among trees and fields—children shouting at play; and women bent double—most with infants on their backs—hoeing(锄地) the corn beans; and the men sitting in the shade. The Swahili word safari means “journey”, it has nothing to do with animals, someone “on safari” is just away and unobtainable and out of touch. Out of touch in Africa was where I wanted to be. The wish to disappear sends many travellers away. If you are thoroughly sick of being kept waiting at home or at work, travel is perfect: let other people wait for a change. Travel is a sort of revenge(报复) for having been put on hold, or having to leave messages on answering machines, not knowing your party’s extension, being kept waiting all your working life. But also being kept waiting is the human condition. Travel in the African bush can also be a sort of revenge on mobile phones and email, on telephones and the daily paper, on the aspects of globalization that allow anyone who chooses to get their hands on you. I desired to be unobtainable. I was going to Africa for the best of reasons—in a spirit of discovery—simply to disappear, to light out, with a suggestion of I dare you to try to find me. Home had become a routine, and routine made time pass quickly. I was a sitting duck in this predictable routine: people knew when to call me, they knew when I would be at my desk. I was in such regular touch that it was like having a job, a mode of life I hated. I was sick of being called up and asked for favors, hit up for money. You stick around too long and people begin to impose their own deadlines on you. 20．What did the writer expect from his journey? A．To have a variety of enjoyable experiences. B．To see how Africa had changed. C．To see impressive scenery. D．To meet some old friend. 21．Forty years ago, how did the writer feel about the future of the country where he was living? A．Little was likely to change. B．Things were likely to improve. C．Women would do most of the work. D．People’s expectations were too limited. 22．In Paragraph 3, what reason does the writer give for wanting to travel to Africa? A．He wanted a change of activity. B．He wanted people to be unable to contact him. C．His health was suffering from staying at home. D．He had been waiting to return to Africa for long. 23．The writer says “I was a sitting duck” in Paragraph 5 to show that _______. A．he was boring B．he was easy to find C．he is fond of ducks D．he was always lending money Passage 2 （24-25高一下·上海市复旦大学附属中学·期末） Take the One-Ton Challenge The One-Ton challenge is your challenge to take action on climate change by reducing household waste, using less energy and using it wisely. 24 We can make a difference. Like many residents of Montreal, Marlene started with examining her lifestyle to see what action she could take to help the environment and help reduce climate change. She knows that reducing her greenhouse gas emissions can help protect our climate and give us cleaner air. 25 For starters, she decided to move closer to her work so she wouldn’t have to buy a car. Most of the time she rides her bike, but when she needs to travel farther, she uses public transportation or car-sharing services. 26 If she were driving a midsize car 20,000 km/year, they would be up around 4 tons! 27 She installed a low-flow showerhead in the bathroom and replaced some of her light bulbs with compact fluorescent bulbs (节能灯). Already, her monthly energy costs are about half of what the previous tenants paid. Marlene also recycles as much as she can and buys local products to reduce the amount of emissions normally created by the transportation of food. Through taking the One-Ton Challenge, Marlene discovered the many ways she can help reduce harmful emissions. Knowing that she is doing her part to help the environment, she continues by encouraging her friends and family to take action too. A．Inside her apartment, she restored doors and the windows, and put curtains up to help keep the heat in. B．At first, we need to figure out what has caused the climate change and what we should do to cope with that. C．By taking the One-Ton Challenge, Marlene has discovered lots of ways to make a difference. D．She is adopting various ways to reduce her carbon footprints without lowering the quality of life. E．After all, if we are part of the problem, we can be part of the solution. F．She estimates that her transportation related emissions are less than one ton. Passage 3 （24-25高一下·上海市复旦大学附属中学·期末） Laban and Miriam greeted me at their front gate and started telling me their story. Two years before, they had been smallholder farmers. Like most of their neighbors, they had been desperately poor. Laban would work odd jobs (打零工) to make ends meet. By the time I met them, their life had improved dramatically. They now had four cows, which were producing 26 liters of milk every day. Their cows earned them nearly $4 per day, which in that part of Kenya was enough to allow them to rebuild their home, grow pineapples for export, and send their children to school. Worldwide, there are over 500 million smallholder farms, and about two-thirds of people in poverty work in agriculture. Yet despite their large numbers, smallholder farmers are responsible for remarkably few greenhouse gas emissions, because they can’t afford to use nearly as many products and services that involve fossil fuels. A typical Kenyan produces 55 times less carbon dioxide than an American, and rural farmers like Laban and Miriam produce even less. The cruel injustice is that even though the world’s poor are doing essentially nothing to cause climate change, they’re the ones that are going to be suffering the most from it. As the climate gets warmer, droughts and floods will become more frequent, wiping out harvests more often. Livestock eat less and produce less meat and milk. The air and soil lose moisture, leaving less water available for plants. In South Asia and sub-Saharan Africa, tens of millions of acres of farmland will become substantially drier. An increasing number of crop-eating pests are already invading more lands as they find more favorable environments to live in. The growing season will also get shorter. At four degrees Celsius of warming, most of sub-Saharan Africa could see it shrink by 20 percent or more. All of these problems will make food far more expensive for those who can least afford it. As food becomes less available, an already enormous inequity between rich and poor will get even worse. Today, a child born in Chad is 50 times more likely to die before his fifth birthday than a child born in Finland. More kids won’t get all the nutrients they need, weakening their bodies’ natural defenses and making them much more likely to die of infectious diseases. In the end, the worst impact of climate change in poor countries is that the rates of malnutrition and death will increase. 28．According to the article, Laban and Miriam managed to improve the quality of their life by ________. A．raising a few dairy cows B．selling pineapples abroad C．spending more time doing odd jobs D．involving their children in farm work 29．The underlined pronoun “it” in Paragraph 6 refers to ________. A．the growing season B．the size of farmland C．the duration of winter D．the number of crop-eating pests 30．According to the article, the world is likely to see an increase in ________. (1) less productive animals   (2) harmful insects   (3) natural disasters    (4) infectious diseases A．(2)(3) B．(1)(2)(3) C．(1)(3) D．(1)(3)(4) 31．The writer thinks that the poor are going to be the hardest-hit victims of climate change because ________. A．the geographical location of their homeland is far from ideal B．nobody will be ready to help them fight against climate change C．climate change will considerably widen the gap between rich and poor D．they don’t know how to reduce the effects of greenhouse gas emissions 19 / 19 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 专题04 阅读理解记叙文 主题01 人与社会—— Passage 1 （24-25学年高一下·上海市浦东新区·期末） The Old Man and the Sea, written by Ernest Hemingway, is a timeless novella about an aging Cuban fisherman named Santiago. For eighty-four consecutive days, Santiago struggles without catching a single fish, becoming a symbol of bad luck in his small coastal village. His young apprentice, Manolin, admires Santiago deeply but is forced by his parents to leave the old man’s boat and join a more successful fisherman. Despite his loneliness and the villagers’ pity, Santiago remains determined. On the eighty-fifth day, he ventures far into the Gulf Stream, where he hooks a massive marlin — a fish larger than his own boat. The marlin drags Santiago’s boat for two days and nights. The old man, weakened by hunger and exhaustion, battles the fish with every ounce of strength, refusing to surrender. “Pain does not matter to a man,” he whispers, embodying his code of resilience. When he finally kills the marlin, he ties it to the side of his boat, only to face a new threat: sharks attracted by the marlin’s blood. Santiago fights fiercely with makeshift weapons — harpoons, oars, and even a knife — but the sharks strip the marlin to its skeleton. Returning to shore, Santiago collapses in his hut. Though he brings back nothing but bones, the village marvels at the skeleton’s size, and Manolin weeps at the old man’s injuries. Hemingway’s story is a celebration of human endurance: Santiago proves that defeat in action can coexist with victory in spirit. 1．What is the main conflict in the story? A．Santiago’s battle with the marlin and sharks. B．Santiago’s struggle against poverty. C．Manolin’s conflict with his parents. D．The villagers’ distrust of Santiago. 2．Why does Manolin leave Santiago? A．He wants to learn from a richer fisherman. B．His parents force him to leave. C．He loses faith in Santiago’s luck. D．Santiago asks him to go. 3．What does the marlin symbolize in the story? A．Unpredictable nature. B．The failure of effort. C．A test of Santiago’s determination. D．The village’s scorn. 4．What theme does Hemingway emphasize in The Old Man and the Sea? A．The importance of wealth. B．The loneliness of old age. C．The danger of the ocean. D．The power of perseverance. 【答案】1．A 2．B 3．C 4．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了古巴老渔夫圣地亚哥连续八十四天没捕到鱼，第八十五天钓到一条大马林鱼，与鱼搏斗后又遭鲨鱼袭击，最终带回鱼骨的故事，展现了人类的坚韧。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段“The marlin drags Santiago’s boat for two days and nights. The old man, weakened by hunger and exhaustion, battles the fish with every ounce of strength, refusing to surrender. “Pain does not matter to a man,” he whispers, embodying his code of resilience. When he finally kills the marlin, he ties it to the side of his boat, only to face a new threat: sharks attracted by the marlin’s blood. Santiago fights fiercely with makeshift weapons — harpoons, oars, and even a knife — but the sharks strip the marlin to its skeleton.(马林鱼拖着圣地亚哥的船走了两天两夜。老人因饥饿和疲惫而虚弱，用尽全身力气与鱼搏斗，拒绝投降。“痛苦对男人来说并不重要，”他低声说，体现了他的韧性准则。当他最终杀死马林鱼时，他把它绑在船舷上，却遇到了新的威胁：被马林鱼的血吸引来的鲨鱼。圣地亚哥用临时的武器——鱼叉、桨，甚至一把刀——激烈地搏斗，但鲨鱼把马林鱼剥得只剩骨架)”可知，故事的主要冲突是圣地亚哥与马林鱼和鲨鱼的战斗。故选A项。 2．细节理解题。根据第一段中“His young apprentice, Manolin, admires Santiago deeply but is forced by his parents to leave the old man’s boat and join a more successful fisherman.(他年轻的徒弟马诺林非常钦佩圣地亚哥，但他的父母强迫他离开老人的船，去跟随一个更成功的渔夫)”可知，马诺林离开圣地亚哥是因为他的父母强迫他离开。故选B项。 3．推理判断题。根据第一段中“On the eighty-fifth day, he ventures far into the Gulf Stream, where he hooks a massive marlin — a fish larger than his own boat.(在第八十五天，他冒险驶入墨西哥湾流深处，在那里他钓到了一条巨大的马林鱼——一条比他的船还大的鱼)”和第二段中“The marlin drags Santiago’s boat for two days and nights. The old man, weakened by hunger and exhaustion, battles the fish with every ounce of strength, refusing to surrender.(马林鱼拖着圣地亚哥的船两天两夜。老人因饥饿和疲惫而虚弱不堪，但他用尽每一丝力气与鱼搏斗，拒绝投降)”可知，马林鱼考验了圣地亚哥的决心，所以它象征着对圣地亚哥决心的考验。故选C项。 4．主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第三段中“Hemingway’s story is a celebration of human endurance: Santiago proves that defeat in action can coexist with victory in spirit.(海明威的故事是对人类耐力的颂扬：圣地亚哥证明了行动上的失败可以与精神上的胜利并存)”以及文中圣地亚哥与马林鱼和鲨鱼搏斗的整个过程可知，海明威在《老人与海》中强调的主题是毅力的力量。故选D项。 Passage 2 （24-25高一下·上海市控江中学·期末） The Battle of Gettysburg was fought between July 1 and July 3,1863. It was one of the bloodiest battles in the American Civil War, with over 51,000 casualties (伤亡人员). Abraham Lincoln was asked to deliver a message at the dedication of the Gettysburg Civil War Cemetery on November 19,1863. The Civil War was still going on. There was much criticism of President Lincoln at the time. He had been invited to speak at Gettysburg only out of politeness. The featured speaker for the occasion was Edward Everett, a former dean of Harvard University, and one of the most famous orators (演说家) of his day. It is said that Lincoln prepared his speech on the train while on his way to Gettysburg. Later that night, alone in his hotel room and tired out, he again worked briefly on the speech. The next day Everett spoke first. His speech lasted an hour and 57 minutes and it was a perfect example of the day. Then Lincoln rose. The crowd of 15,000 people at first paid little attention to him. He spoke for less than three minutes, and the photographer standing in front of him didn’t even have time to take a picture. The speech was over almost before it began. At the end there was little applause. Lincoln turned to a friend and said, “I have failed again.” But little by little, as people read the speech, they began to like its simplicity and its deep meaning. It was a speech which only Abraham Lincoln could have made. Now it is recognized as one of the most powerful statements in the English language and, in fact, one of the most important expressions of freedom and liberty-in-any language. Indeed, Everett afterward wrote to Lincoln “I wish that I could flatter myself that I had come as near to the central idea of the occasion in two hours as you did in two minutes.” 5．Lincoln was invited to speak at the National Soldiers Cemetery, as ________. A．he had made great contributions to the Civil War B．he was one of the most popular orators of his day C．he was president of the United States at the time D．he was a friend of the featured speaker Everett 6．It can be learned from the passage that ________. A．Lincoln made the speech in the hope that the war would end B．Lincoln seemed not to have had a lot of time to prepare his speech C．it was the first time that Lincoln’s speech had ended in failure D．it was on the train to Gettysburg that Lincoln redrafted his speech 7．In the last paragraph, “the central idea” probably refers to ________. A．freedom and liberty B．fame and wealth C．power of language D．recognition of the public 8．From what Everett wrote to Lincoln, we learn that ________. A．he felt a bit jealous about Lincoln’s success B．he regretted making a speech in Lincoln’s presence C．he thought Lincoln’s speech was short but powerful D．he was confident in his ability to make a better speech next time 【答案】5．C 6．B 7．A 8．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了林肯在葛底斯堡公墓落成典礼上发表演讲的经过及其演讲的影响。 5．细节理解题。根据第二段中“Abraham Lincoln was asked to deliver a message at the dedication of the Gettysburg Civil War Cemetery on November 19,1863. The Civil War was still going on. There was much criticism of President Lincoln at the time. He had been invited to speak at Gettysburg only out of politeness. (1863年11月19日，亚伯拉罕·林肯被邀请在葛底斯堡内战公墓落成典礼上发表讲话。内战仍在继续。当时对林肯总统有很多批评。他被邀请在葛底斯堡演讲只是出于礼貌。)”可知，林肯被邀请在葛底斯堡国家士兵公墓发表演讲，是因为他是当时的美国总统。故选C。 6．细节理解题。根据第三段“It is said that Lincoln prepared his speech on the train while on his way to Gettysburg. Later that night, alone in his hotel room and tired out, he again worked briefly on the speech. (据说林肯是在去葛底斯堡的火车上准备演讲的。那天晚上晚些时候，他独自一人在旅馆房间里，疲惫不堪，又对演讲进行了简短的准备。)”可知，林肯似乎没有太多时间准备他的演讲。故选B。 7．词句猜测题。根据最后一段“Now it is recognized as one of the most powerful statements in the English language and, in fact, one of the most important expressions of freedom and liberty-in-any language. Indeed, Everett afterward wrote to Lincoln “I wish that I could flatter myself that I had come as near to the central idea of the occasion in two hours as you did in two minutes.” (如今，它被公认为英语中最具影响力的表述之一，事实上，也是任何语言中关于自由理念的最重要表达之一。事实上，埃弗雷特后来写信给林肯说：“我希望我能自夸一下，我在两个小时内所表达的the central idea与你两分钟内所表达的一样接近。”)”可知，林肯的演讲强调了自由，所以此处埃弗雷特在信中提到的the central idea指的是“自由”。故选A。 8．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Indeed, Everett afterward wrote to Lincoln “I wish that I could flatter myself that I had come as near to the central idea of the occasion in two hours as you did in two minutes.” (事实上，埃弗雷特后来写信给林肯说：“我希望我能自夸一下，我在两个小时内所表达的中心思想与你两分钟内所表达的一样接近。”)”可知，埃弗雷特认为林肯的演讲虽然简短但却很有力量。故选C。 主题02 人与自我—— Passage 1 （24-25高一下·上海市上海交通大学附属中学·期末） At 45, I noticed my first gray hairs, and my hairdresser claimed she had a special elixir (灵丹妙药) to naturally and almost undetectably mask them. Unsure whether to start this operation, I studied my reflection, realizing the gray was more widespread than I had admitted. Instead of merely threading between darker hairs, the gray had taken over large sections of my head, particularly on the sides and back. “I suggest we leave some in,” my hairdresser proposed, “just enough to make you look distinguished.” I nodded, but the word “distinguished” felt like a polite synonym for “old”. For seven years, I followed this monthly ritual, each time hoping to hide the gray, though my wife insisted that gray hair looked great on men my age, pointing to silver-haired celebrities like George Clooney and Anderson Cooper. They were silver foxes, and I envied their confident acceptance of their aging looks. One afternoon, my wife broke her silence, telling me my hair had turned green from the dye. She suggested I let my natural gray come through. In an attempt to accept this change, I visited a beauty shop in Missoula, Montana. The stylist advised me to shave it off. Week by week, my gray hair grew back, forcing me to face up to my aging appearance with a new clarity. The final push came at a New York City sandwich shop. After taking my order, one of the girls behind the counter asked if she could ask me something. The girl, who appeared to be 18 or so, followed with something like: “It’s not that I think you look old or anything, but when was doo-wop? Do you remember? Doo-wop music? When was that? The’ 50s? The’ 40s?” “Late’50s, early’60s,” I said coolly. Did the girl really think that I’d been on the scene then, or did she merely find me professional, a man who appeared to be rich in general knowledge? “That must have been so cool,” she said. “Walking around hearing singing on all the corners!” I suddenly found my gray hair was nothing bad. Interestingly, I’ve never dyed my hair since then. Now, I have grown comfortable with my gray hair. On good days, I even feel a bit like those silver-haired celebrities. However, I still avoid my old hairdresser, not wanting to confront the failure of our shared secret. Instead, I accept my silver hair as part of who I am. 9．What does the writer’ wife think of his gray hair? A．She believes it makes him look great. B．She suggests he should dye it a different color. C．She thinks it distinguishes him from celebrities. D．She criticizes his decision to stop dyeing his hair. 10．The word “synonym”(paragraph 2)is closest in meaning to ______. A．opposite B．equivalent C．pretense D．behavior 11．How did the girl in the sandwich shop affect the writer? A．She complimented his gray hair, boosting his self-confidence greatly. B．She mentioned an old type of music, trying to check his age. C．She asked him a question, making him feel good about himself. D．She recommended a regular hair dye, influencing his decision to change his hair color. 12．What is the passage mainly about? A．The writer’s journey towards accepting his natural gray hair. B．The writer’s struggle with maintaining his hairstyle over years. C．The writer’s experience with different hairdressers and their advice. D．The writer’s admiration for silver-haired celebrities like George Clooney. 【答案】9．A 10．B 11．C 12．A 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。45岁时作者发现白发，染了七年后头发变绿，妻子建议自然生长，后因女孩询问老歌年代释然，不再染发。 9．细节理解题。根据第三段“For seven years, I followed this monthly ritual, each time hoping to hide the gray, though my wife insisted that gray hair looked great on men my age, pointing to silver-haired celebrities like George Clooney and Anderson Cooper. They were silver foxes, and I envied their confident acceptance of their aging looks.(七年来，我每月都坚持这个习惯，每次都希望能掩盖白发，尽管妻子坚持认为白发在我这个年纪的男人身上很好看，还指着乔治·克鲁尼和安德森·库珀等银发名人为例。他们是魅力十足的银发男士，我羡慕他们能自信地接受自己衰老的模样)”可知，作者的妻子认为作者的白发让他看起来很帅气。故选A。 10．词句猜测题。根据划线词上文““I suggest we leave some in,” my hairdresser proposed, “just enough to make you look distinguished.”(“我建议咱们留一些白发，” 我的理发师提议道，“白发刚好能让你显得有格调”)”以及“I nodded, but the word “distinguished” felt like a polite(我点了点头，但“格调”这个词听起来就像是……)”可知，发型师建议作者留一些白发，看起来更加有“格调”，但作者认为“格调”这个词就等同于“年长”的意思。故划线词意思是“相等的”。故选B。 11．细节理解题。根据倒数第四段“The final push came at a New York City sandwich shop. After taking my order, one of the girls behind the counter asked if she could ask me something. The girl, who appeared to be 18 or so, followed with something like: “It’s not that I think you look old or anything, but when was doo-wop? Do you remember? Doo-wop music? When was that? The’ 50s? The’ 40s?”(最后的契机出现在纽约市一家三明治店里。当我点完单后，柜台后的一个女孩问能不能请教我一个问题。这个看上去十八九岁的姑娘接着说道：“倒不是说觉得您显老什么的，就是想问问嘟・喔普音乐是什么时候的？您还记得吗？嘟・喔普音乐啊，那是啥时候的？五十年代？还是四十年代？)”以及倒数第二段““That must have been so cool,” she said. “Walking around hearing singing on all the corners!” I suddenly found my gray hair was nothing bad. Interestingly, I’ve never dyed my hair since then.(“那一定很酷，”她说。“四处走动，到处都能听到歌声！”我突然发现我的白发并没有什么不好。有趣的是，从那以后我再也没有染过头发)”可知，在那家三明治店里的那个女孩向作者提了一个问题，这让作者感到自己很出色。故选C。 12．主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Instead, I accept my silver hair as part of who I am.(相反，我接受自己银色的头发，把它当作自己的一部分)”结合文章讲述了45岁时作者发现白发，染了七年后头发变绿，妻子建议自然生长，后因女孩询问老歌年代释然，不再染发。可知，这篇文章主要讲的是作者逐渐接受自己天生灰白头发的过程。故选A。 Passage 2 （24-25高一下·上海市同济大学第二附属中学·期末） I’ve been a runner all my adult life. At six feet, seven inches and 240 pounds, I don’t look like your average long-distance athlete, but I was in great shape. Four years ago, at 44, I was at my peak fitness, training hard for my second London Marathon. My goal was to finish in less than four hours, and after some solid 20-mile practice runs, I was confident I could manage around 3 hours and 40 minutes. I always believed that if you weren’t completely spent by the finish, you hadn’t given it your all. Race day started well. The sticky weather was eased by a light rain, and everything felt right. But by mile 19, things changed. It wasn’t physical exhaustion—it was mental. I felt disconnected, like I wasn’t fully there. The cheering crowds faded into the background. At mile 24, I completely forgot to wave to my wife, as we’d planned. By the time I saw Big Ben, my legs felt heavy, as if they were moving through thick liquid. Still, I pushed on. Turning the final corner, I saw the finish line and knew I’d make it in under four hours. That’s my last memory. Witnesses later said I staggered across the line, collected my medal, and reached the media tent before collapsing. My body had overheated, causing my liver and kidneys (肝和肾) to shut down. I was rushed to St. Thomas’s hospital and treated for pneumonia (肺炎). The doctors told me that most people don’t survive this condition, but my fitness and the quick actions of medics saved me. When I woke up, my first question was, “What time did I do?” (Answer: 3 hours, 55 minutes and 46 seconds). My second was, “Why am I here?” Seeing the worry in my wife’s eyes filled me with guilt. She still won’t talk about that day. It took months to recover, and during that time, I re-evaluated my priorities. I realized times didn’t matter. Today, I run for joy, not speed—enjoying the scenery and running with my dog. The real victory is learning to love the journey. 13．What was the writer’s goal at the beginning for his second London Marathon? A．To finish the race within his target goal. B．To complete the race without taking a break. C．To reach a faster pace than a professional athlete. D．To improve on his previous marathon performance. 14．What can be learned about the man from his London Marathon experience? A．He gave up the race and couldn’t make it to the finish line. B．He realized that he had better achieve his goals gradually. C．He achieved his goal without facing too many difficulties. D．He pushed himself too much and faced a serious medical crisis. 15．How did the writer’s attitudes towards running change after the experience? A．He decided to give up running altogether to focus on recovery. B．He set a new goal to beat his previous best time in future races C．He started prioritizing the experience of running over competing. D．He started running shorter distances to avoid similar health issues 16．Which of the following might be the best title of the passage? A．The Dangers of Marathon Running B．A Runner’s Transformative Journey C．Overcoming Physical Limits in a Marathon D．How to Train for a Successful Marathon 【答案】13．A 14．D 15．C 16．B 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述作者作为一名非典型身材的长跑运动员，在第二次伦敦马拉松中因过度努力导致身体崩溃和严重健康危机，但最终幸存并康复的经历，以及由此引发的对跑步态度的深刻转变——从追求速度和成绩，转向享受过程和旅程的意义。 13．细节理解题。根据第一段“My goal was to finish in less than four hours, and after some solid 20-mile practice runs, I was confident I could manage around 3 hours and 40 minutes.(我的目标是在四小时内完成比赛，在进行了一些扎实的20英里练习跑后，我有信心可以在3小时40分钟左右完成)”可知，作者的核心目标是在预设的时间内完赛。故选A项。 14．推理判断题。根据第三段“My body had overheated, causing my liver and kidneys (肝和肾) to shut down. I was rushed to St. Thomas’s hospital and treated for pneumonia (肺炎). The doctors told me that most people don’t survive this condition, but my fitness and the quick actions of medics saved me.(我的身体过热，导致我的肝脏和肾脏停止运行。我被紧急送往圣托马斯医院，接受肺炎治疗。医生告诉我，大多数人都无法在这种情况下幸存下来，但我的健康和医护人员的快速行动救了我)”可知，作者因过度消耗身体导致多器官衰竭，面临严重医疗危机。故选D项。 15．细节理解题。根据最后一段“I realized times didn’t matter. Today, I run for joy, not speed—enjoying the scenery and running with my dog.(我意识到时间不重要。如今，我跑步是为了快乐，而不是速度 —— 享受风景，和我的狗一起跑)”可知，作者不再追求速度和竞争，而是重视跑步的体验本身。故选C项。 16．主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章讲述了作者从追求马拉松速度目标到因过度消耗身体崩溃，最终转变心态、享受跑步过程的经历。最后一段“The real victory is learning to love the journey.(真正的胜利是学会热爱这段旅程)”点明主题，强调其心态和人生态度的转变。所以B选项A Runner’s Transformative Journey(一位跑者的蜕变之旅)准确概括了这一核心。故选B项。 Passage 3 （24-25高一下·上海市黄浦区·期末） Jose Ferrer was known as one of the most successful American film actors of his generation, but he actually began his career in theater. He was born on January 8, 1909 in Puerto Rico and moved to the United States when he was six years old. His acting skills were first showcased while he attended Princeton University and performed with the Triangle Club, a student acting group whose alumni also include Jimmy Stewart and F. Scott Fitzgerald. After graduating, Ferrer continued to perform in theater until he made his first Broadway show in 1935 in the play Charley’s Aunt. He had many successful roles on Broadway, including a role in 1943 when he played the villain Iago in Shakespeare’s play Othello. The title role of Othello in that production was played by the famous actor Paul Robeson. With these two powerful performers, Othello became the longest running play in Broadway history. This record still stands. Ferrer’s greatest role, though, was still to come. In 1946, Ferrer was cast in the title role of Cyrano de Bergerac. He won the celebrated Tony award as Cyrano, the tragic hero who fights men with great courage but hides his love for the beautiful Roxanne. His success in this role led directly to his repeated performances as Cyrano in a film version (for which he won an Oscar) and a television version (for which he won an Emmy). He is the only actor to win all three of those special awards for playing the same role. This achievement is all the more outstanding because Cyrano de Bergerac was known as a desirable role, one that had been played very well previously by other talented actors. Through these roles, Ferrer earned a reputation on Broadway as an extremely flexible actor, talented enough to play many diverse roles. Eight years after his first show in professional theater, he finally started performing in movies. Once he began appearing in films, that skill translated into many great performances and memorable roles. His film career included both acting and directing opportunities and lasted nearly forty years. 17．Which of the following is in line with the author’s viewpoint? A．Cyrano de Bergerac was Ferrer’s favorite role to perform. B．Ferrer’s career was long because he was able to play many different roles. C．Ferrer regretted waiting years before he became a screen actor. D．Cyrano de Bergerac is the greatest role ever written for the Broadway stage. 18．Which of the following can be inferred from the passage? A．Most members of the Triangle Club have successful acting careers. B．Ferrer was more honored by his Tony award than by his Emmy or Oscar. C．The record-setting run of Othello may have been in part due to Paul Robeson. D．Ferrer did not perform again on Broadway after he began performing in movies. 19．The author would most likely agree with all of the following EXCEPT ________. A．Paul Robeson was seen by some as a very talented actor. B．Ferrer somewhat contributes to the success of Othello in history. C．Some actors consider Cyrano de Bergerac a role they would like to perform. D．Ferrer’s successful performance in Othello was his first Broadway performance. 20．Which of the following is the primary purpose of the passage? A．To discuss the success of Puerto Rican actors on Broadway. B．To contrast the history of theater with the history of television. C．To provide a brief summary of the career of a well-regarded American actor. D．To suggest that Jose Ferrer was the best actor ever to play Cyrano de Bergerac. 【答案】17．B 18．C 19．D 20．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要介绍了美国演员何塞・费勒的演艺生涯。他出生于波多黎各，6岁移民美国，在普林斯顿大学时就展现出表演天赋。毕业后先投身戏剧舞台，在百老汇取得诸多成功，后涉足电影和电视领域，凭借饰演西拉诺这一角色荣获托尼奖、奥斯卡奖和艾美奖，其演艺生涯长达近40年。 17．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Through these roles, Ferrer earned a reputation on Broadway as an extremely flexible actor, talented enough to play many diverse roles. His film career included both acting and directing opportunities and lasted nearly forty years.(通过这些角色，费勒在百老汇赢得了极具可塑性演员的声誉，他才华横溢，能够饰演多种不同角色。他的电影生涯包括表演和导演机会，持续了近40年)” 可知，费勒的职业生涯很长，是因为他能够扮演许多不同的角色。故选B。 18．推理判断题。根据第二段“He had many successful roles on Broadway, including a role in 1943 when he played the villain Iago in Shakespeare’s play Othello. The title role of Othello in that production was played by the famous actor Paul Robeson.With these two powerful performers, Othello became the longest running play in Broadway history.(他在百老汇塑造了许多成功的角色，其中包括 1943 年在莎士比亚戏剧《奥赛罗》中饰演反派伊阿古。在那部作品中，主角奥赛罗由著名演员保罗・罗伯逊饰演。有了这两位出色的演员，《奥赛罗》成为百老汇历史上演出时间最长的剧目)”可知，有了保罗・罗伯逊和何塞・费勒这两位强大的演员，《奥赛罗》成为百老汇历史上演出时间最长的戏剧。故选C。 19．细节理解题。根据第二段“After graduating, Ferrer continued to perform in theater until he made his first Broadway show in 1935 in the play Charley’s Aunt.(毕业后，费勒继续在剧院表演，直到1935年他在百老汇上演的《查理的姑妈》中首次亮相)” 可知，他在百老汇的首次演出是《查理的姑妈》，不是《奥赛罗》。故选D。 20．推理判断题。本文主要介绍了美国演员何塞・费勒的演艺生涯。他出生于波多黎各，6岁移民美国，在普林斯顿大学时就展现出表演天赋。毕业后先投身戏剧舞台，在百老汇取得诸多成功，后涉足电影和电视领域，凭借饰演西拉诺这一角色荣获托尼奖、奥斯卡奖和艾美奖，其演艺生涯长达近40年。所以短文的主要目的是简要概述一位备受尊敬的美国演员的职业生涯。故选C。 主题01 人与社会—— Passage 1 （24-25学年高一下·上海市杨浦区复旦大学附属中学·期末） One day, my 11-year-old daughter told me that she wanted to return a pair of pants on Amazon. “You need to keep clicking the ‘something else’ button if you want to talk to a real person,” I told her. She followed my word, and after a bit of clicking, she managed to talk to a real customer-service agent and get the pants returned. In the process, I had the chance to think about what this everyday interaction was teaching my daughter. I thought about what it meant to constantly ask for “something else”. It’s not only about having a real person to talk with. It’s equally about the quality of our communication. It involves thinking something, then saying it, and then having another person think and say something back to you. It seems simple and yet it may become the exception, not the rule. In many cases, it already has. With the “quick responses” at the bottom of many email platforms, potential responses often appear right in front of us. “Yes, sure.” “Of course!” or “I got it.” The responses, I’ve noticed, are mostly okay. Sometimes, they’re exactly what I want to say. Occasionally, they’re wildly wrong. At first, I told myself I wouldn’t use those pre-made responses. Soon enough, though, I got in a rush and found they were good. What would happen if our language got automated in general in this way? What if, instead of generating responses, we simply pointed and clicked? Choosing a response is a kind of thinking, but it’s far less accurate than the kind needed to generate content. It has to do more with recognizing a “good enough” response. Instead of starting with a blank board, we critique things. That’s not useless, but it doesn’t replace thinking in a generative way. If kids only critique something, they won’t have original thoughts. They may become great editors, but they’ll likely struggle to create ideas in fresh ways. There’s no simple solution and certainly no way to turn back the clock on automated talk. Yet, as we move forward, we need to consider carefully how simple changes in communication can have serious effects. If we want to help our kids, the “something else” we searched for — authentic human conversation — should not be the exception, but the rule. 1．What contributes to high-quality communication according to paragraph 2? A．The clear goals. B．The exact expressions. C．The process of thinking. D．The immediate response. 2．How does the author feel about using the pre-made responses? A．Curious and eager to try them out. B．Annoyed and resistant to their widespread use. C．Disappointed by their frequent inaccuracy. D．Unwilling but finally aware of their convenience. 3．What concern does the author raise about children’s overuse of automated language? A．It will make their expressions more accurate and efficient. B．It may limit the development of their editing and revising skills. C．It may undermine their capacity for original and independent thinking. D．It increases their engagement in thoughtful, meaningful communication. 4．What can be the best title for the text? A．My Reflection on the Automated Talk B．My Unforgettable Online Return Experience C．The Art of Guiding Children’s Creativity D．The Benefits of Using Automation in Communication 【答案】1．C 2．D 3．C 4．A 【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章主要以作者女儿在亚马逊退货时需点击“其他选项”联系真人客服的经历为切入点，反思了自动化交流的普及现状，探讨了其对沟通质量及孩子原创思维培养的影响，并呼吁重视真实的人际对话。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段中的“It’s equally about the quality of our communication. It involves thinking something, then saying it, and then having another person think and say something back to you.(这同样关乎我们沟通的质量。它包括思考某件事，然后说出来，再让另一个人思考并回应你)”可知，高质量的沟通离不开思考的过程——先思考、再表达、再接收对方的思考与回应。故选C项。 2．细节理解题。根据第三段中的“At first, I told myself I wouldn’t use those pre-made responses. Soon enough, though, I got in a rush and found they were good.(起初，我告诉自己不会使用那些预制回复。但很快，我因为匆忙，发现这些回复还不错)”可知，作者起初不愿使用预制回复，但最终因便捷性而认可了它们，即内心不情愿但后来意识到其便利性。故选D项。 3．细节理解题。根据第四段中的“What would happen if our language got automated in general in this way? What if, instead of generating responses, we simply pointed and clicked? Choosing a response is a kind of thinking, but it’s far less accurate than the kind needed to generate content. It has to do more with recognizing a “good enough” response. Instead of starting with a blank board, we critique things. That’s not useless, but it doesn’t replace thinking in a generative way. If kids only critique something, they won’t have original thoughts. They may become great editors, but they’ll likely struggle to create ideas in fresh ways.(如果我们的语言普遍以这种方式实现自动化，会发生什么呢？要是我们不再主动生成回应，而只是简单地进行点击选择，又会怎样呢？选择一种回应固然也算一种思考，但它远不如生成内容所需的思考那般严谨深入。这种思考更多只是筛选出一个 “还算合适” 的答案。我们不再是从零开始创作，而是对现成的内容进行评判。这种方式并非毫无用处，却无法替代具有创造性的主动思考。如果孩子们只对事物进行评判，他们就不会有原创的想法。他们可能会成为优秀的编辑，但很可能难以用新颖的方式创造想法)”可知，作者担心孩子过度使用自动化语言会削弱其原创思维和独立思考能力的发展。故选C项。 4．主旨大意题。通读全文，并结合最后一段“There’s no simple solution and certainly no way to turn back the clock on automated talk. Yet, as we move forward, we need to consider carefully how simple changes in communication can have serious effects. If we want to help our kids, the “something else” we searched for — authentic human conversation — should not be the exception, but the rule.(没有简单的解决方案，当然也没有办法让自动对话时光倒流。然而，在我们前进的过程中，我们需要仔细考虑沟通方面的简单改变会产生怎样严重的影响。如果我们想帮助我们的孩子，我们寻找的“其他东西”——真实的人类对话——不应该是例外，而应该是规则)”可知，文章以一次退货经历为引子，围绕自动化交流展开反思，分析了预制回复等自动化沟通方式的特点、自身使用感受，以及其对孩子思维培养的潜在负面影响，最后呼吁重视真实人际对话。A项“我对自动化交流的反思”准确概括了全文核心主旨,适合作本文标题。故选A项。 Passage 2 （24-25高一下·上海市上海交通大学附属中学·期末） Why we love Labubu A new plush toy, called Labubu, has taken the internet by storm. My social media feeds are full of this mischievous, wide-eyed creature. But Labubu isn’t just a toy. It’s a cultural symbol — and it’s not just for kids. I’ll be honest — I fell into the trap too. My 9-year-old daughter had been eyeing Labubu online and talking about it nonstop. I managed to track down a blind box of six, and I’ll never forget the look in her eyes as she unboxed them one by one. She gave each Labubu a name and now brings one (sometimes more) with her everywhere. Her daily choice often depends on her mood — or her outfit. Labubu, I realized, is more than a toy. It’s a deeply psychological experience. Here’s why it’s resonating so strongly across the region: Why We Get Attached: Labubu as a Mirror for Our Feelings There’s a reason people name their Labubu, dress them up, and personify them. When we’re young, we learn to find comfort and safety in certain people. Sometimes, we extend those feelings to objects — like a favorite stuffed animal or blanket. These are known as transitional objects, and they help us feel secure and emotionally grounded. Labubu can play that role for both kids and adults. It becomes a safe way to express parts of ourselves, like our moods and our personality traits. Social Currency and Signaling Belonging Labubu has become a form of social currency. Owning one — especially a rare or customized version — signals that you’re tuned in to that cultural moment. Labubu allows for individuality to be expressed within those collective frameworks, especially for younger generations navigating both. Scarcity, Dopamine, and the Psychology of Collecting Labubu is often sold in “blind boxes,” where you don’t know which version you’ll get. This taps into variable ratio reinforcement — the same dopamine-driven cycle that keeps us scrolling on social media. The scarcity effect is another reason that people are hooked. We want and value things more when they seem exclusive and rare. 5．What does the author mean by saying “fell into the trap”? A．He/ She wasted money purchasing blind boxes of Labubu. B．He/ She couldn’t resist the appeal of Labubu and ended up getting involved with it. C．Under his/ her daughter’s constant pleading, he/ she had no choice but to buy it. D．The social media feeds tricked him/ her into buying blind boxes. 6．According to the passage, which of the following is not a reason why we love Labubu? A．It brings about a certain sense of comfort and safety. B．It offers a safe outlet for us to express various our moods and identities. C．If you have a customized Labubu, it shows that you’re part of a certain trendy group. D．It brings back sweet childhood memories and helps regulate our emotion. 7．Where are you mostly likely to see this article? A．In a scientific journal in psychology. B．On a shopping website promoting fashionable accessories. C．In the answer generated by an AI on the reasons why we love toys. D．In a column about current fashionable trends. 【答案】5．B 6．D 7．D 【导语】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章解析人们喜爱Labubu的原因，包括作为情感寄托、社交象征及盲盒带来的收藏心理等。 5．词句猜测题。根据第二段“I’ll be honest — I fell into the trap too. My 9-year-old daughter had been eyeing Labubu online and talking about it nonstop. I managed to track down a blind box of six, and I’ll never forget the look in her eyes as she unboxed them one by one. (老实说，我也fell into the trap。我9岁的女儿一直在网上盯着Labubu，不停地谈论它。我设法找到了一个六个的盲箱，我永远不会忘记她一个接一个地拆箱时的眼神。)”可知，作者原本可能并未打算购买，但最终因无法抗拒 Labubu 的吸引力而参与其中。所以推测fell into the trap在此处指“被吸引并卷入”的意思。故选B项。 6．细节理解题。根据第五段“Labubu can play that role for both kids and adults. It becomes a safe way to express parts of ourselves, like our moods and our personality traits.(Labubu可以为儿童和成人扮演那个角色。它成为表达自我的安全方式，比如我们的情绪和个性特质。)”可知，选项B（它为我们提供了一个安全的渠道来表达我们的各种情绪和身份）正确；根据第六段“Owning one — especially a rare or customized version — signals that you’re tuned in to that cultural moment.(拥有一个 —— 尤其是稀有或定制版 —— 表明你融入了那个文化时刻。)”可知，选项C（如果你有一个定制的Labubu，它表明你是某个时尚群体的一员）正确；根据第四段“These are known as transitional objects, and they help us feel secure and emotionally grounded.(这些被称为过渡性物品，它们帮助我们感到安全和情感上的踏实。)”可知，选项 A（它带来了一定的舒适感和安全感）正确，而选项 D（它带回了甜蜜的童年回忆，有助于调节我们的情绪）在原文中未提及，不是我们爱Labubu的原因。故选D项。 7．推理判断题。通读全文可知，文章开篇提到“A new plush toy, called Labubu, has taken the internet by storm.(一种名为Labubu的新毛绒玩具在互联网上掀起了风暴。)”，并分析其作为文化符号的社会心理原因，涉及流行趋势、社交文化等内容。全文风格更贴近对当下时尚现象的解读。因此，选项D“关于当前时尚趋势的专栏”最符合文章定位，最有可能在这一专栏看到这篇文章。故选D项。 主题02 人与自我—— Passage 1 （24-25高一下·上海市上海市嘉定区嘉定一中·期末） We recently went to a friend’s backyard to meet her new puppy. He was lovely beyond words. Our friend was wearing smiles as she told us about his first days at home. It was truly puppy love. Later that night, I walked behind my own dog to help her climb up the stairs, and heated up the homemade food that helps control her kidney (肾) disease. You can’t imagine these extra cares when you began raising a puppy. For me, I am lucky to know this more “mature” love. To love, and to be loved, by an old dog is truly an honor. For a long time, I denied the fact that our dog was getting old, or I really didn’t notice that Skyler was getting older. But these days, there is no denying the fact. Sometimes, she will fall while eating from her bowl and wait patiently for someone to help her up. I still remember the first days of Skyler. In the home, she always needed to be beside someone, with at least one part of her touching one part of you. At the park, it was different. If we started running toward the end of a field, she would cross the finish line before we had even made it halfway. Now, at 15, Skyler still needs to be right beside you on the couch. But it is hard. It is sad to see this once fast, strong dog struggle to walk up the front steps or to see her begging eyes whenever she needs help to get up on the couch. Over the past few years, we have had to forgo certain family trips because we wanted to take care of her at home. However, I know this experience has taught our children about sacrifice and unconditional love. It has taught me the same. Dogs give us unconditional love. The least we can do is give it back. There will likely be times of great sadness and hardship, but in the end, you will feel very lucky for the time you have together. 8．In paragraph 2, why does the author mention what he did late that night? A．To complain about the troubles of raising a dog. B．To show her regret of meeting her friend’s new puppy. C．To tell readers that she is taking care of an old sick dog. D．To illustrate the correct way of caring for dogs. 9．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A．When the author first got Skyler, she was always running in the house. B．Skyler has always been eager to have people beside her. C．Skyler will beg for some food before she gets up. D．To take care of Skyler, the author often brings her during the journey. 10．What does the underlined word forgo in paragraph 5 most probably mean? A．cancel B．forget C．organize D．delay 11．According to the passage, what does the author think of keeping a dog? A．She is strongly against keeping a dog. B．She considers it a double-edged sword to keep a dog. C．She suggests we should think twice before keeping a dog. D．She thinks keeping a dog is worthwhile for the whole family. 【答案】8．C 9．B 10．A 11．D 【导语】本文是夹叙夹议文。作者通过讲述自己养狗的经历，告诉读者养一只狗对于整个家庭都是值得的，她会教会你和孩子奉献和爱。 8．推理判断题。根据第二段的“Later that night, I walked behind my own dog to help her climb up the stairs, and heated up the homemade food that helps control her kidney (肾) disease. You can’t imagine these extra cares when you began raising a puppy. For me, I am lucky to know this more “mature” love. To love, and to be loved, by an old dog is truly an honor. (那天晚上晚些时候，我跟在自己的狗后面，帮她爬上楼梯，并把自制的食物加热，这有助于控制她的肾病。当你开始养一只小狗时，你无法想象这些额外的照顾。对我来说，我很幸运能知道这种更“成熟”的爱。爱一只老狗，也被它爱，都是一种荣耀。)”可推断，作者提到那天晚些时候她照顾自己的狗的事情，是为了告诉读者她在照顾一只生病的老狗。故选C。 9．细节理解题。根据第四段的“In the home, she always needed to be beside someone, with at least one part of her touching one part of you. (在家里，她总是需要有人在身边，至少她的一部分触摸到你的一部分。)”可知，Skyler总是渴望有人在她旁边。故选B。 10．词义猜测题。根据下文的“because we wanted to take care of her at home (因为我们想在家照顾她)”可推断，我们不得不取消某些家庭旅行，划线词与cancel“取消”意思一致。故选A。 11．推理判断题。根据最后一段“However, I know this experience has taught our children about sacrifice and unconditional love. It has taught me the same. Dogs give us unconditional love. The least we can do is give it back. There will likely be times of great sadness and hardship, but in the end, you will feel very lucky for the time you have together. (然而，我知道这段经历教会了我们的孩子奉献和无条件的爱。它教会了我同样的道理。狗给我们无条件的爱。至少我们可以把它还给他。可能会有非常悲伤和艰难的时刻，但最终，你会为你们在一起的时间感到非常幸运。)”可推断，作者认为养一只狗对于整个家庭都是值得的，她会给你爱，教会你的孩子和你学会奉献和无条件的爱。故选D。 Passage 2 （24-25高一下·上海市松江区松江二中·期末） I’m a huge fan of the Pacific Northwest and its bright green forests, rough coastline, and beaches decorated with wood, but visiting a top national park in summer often brings the opposite of what I come for — being alone — as huge crowds try hard to park and take photos. So, my last visit to Olympic National Park was in mid-September. I ended up bathing in the peace and quiet of forest among ancient trees and staying close enough to nearby communities to feel safe. I thought that taking the jump from my comfortable hotel room in the park into the great outdoors was unpleasant at first. However, once I began walking slowly and aimlessly along the Hoh River Trail there and slowing down to observe beautiful sunlight and tiny mushrooms that looked like colorful umbrellas, I felt my breath deepen and my nervous system begin to relax for the first time in a long time. What I want to say is that just because the world seems obviously set up for twosomes doesn’t mean you have to let such a standard keep you from living your dreams right now. Solo travel has made me stronger and braver than I ever thought possible. It has opened up my worldview by throwing me out of my comfort zone again and again. When it comes to living conditions, the national park not only offers 15 campgrounds across its huge area, it’s also home to five other choices for guests who would prefer not to sleep alone inside a tent — the small national park houses. Although I enjoy being alone, I have to admit that one of the coolest things about these small houses is that they are there to strengthen connection among strangers, and as such, there is usually a big fireplace next to excellent armchairs and sofas where guests can move around and make small talks at night. In one small house called Lake Quinault, I talked with grey-haired seniors about the best old-growth forest walks and asked hotel workers about the Roosevelt Dining Room (so named after Franklin Delano Roosevelt, the president during 1933-1945, came to visit), right next door. 12．What made the author avoid visiting Olympic National Park in summer? A．The wish to stay close to communities. B．The likelihood to meet crowds of people. C．The quiet environment in an ancient forest. D．The rough coastlines and the woody beaches. 13．According to paragraph 2, the author thinks that traveling alone can ______. A．keep opening up her worldview B．slow her down in living her dreams C．stop her leaving her comfortable zone D．give her a chance to stay in hotel rooms 14．What can we learn from the last paragraph? A．Seniors in Lake Quinault are the best forest walkers there. B．The park offers five completely different places to stay in. C．Big fireplaces in houses are meant to strengthen connection. D．The author stayed in a house next door to a famous president. 15．The passage is mainly about ______. A．the author’s love for the Pacific Northwest B．the author’s solo trip to Olympic National Park C．the greatest tourist attractions in Olympic National Park D．the brief comparison between group travel and solo ones 【答案】12．B 13．A 14．C 15．B 【导语】本文是夹叙夹议文。文章主要介绍作者独自在奥林匹克公园里面的森林旅行的经历和看法。 12．细节理解题。根据第一段“I’m a huge fan of the Pacific Northwest and its bright green forests, rough coastline, and beaches decorated with wood, but visiting a top national park in summer often brings the opposite of what I come for — being alone — as huge crowds try hard to park and take photos. So, my last visit to Olympic National Park was in mid-September. (我是太平洋西北部的超级粉丝，那里有明亮的绿色森林、崎岖的海岸线和用木头装饰的海滩，但夏天去顶级国家公园往往会带来与我相反的结果——独自一人——因为大群人都在努力停车和拍照。所以，我最后一次参观奥林匹克国家公园是在9月中旬。)”可知，夏天去顶级国家公园会遇到大量的人群，所以这让作者避免在夏天去奥林匹克国家公园。故选B。 13．细节理解题。根据第二段“Solo travel has made me stronger and braver than I ever thought possible. It has opened up my worldview by throwing me out of my comfort zone again and again. (独自旅行使我变得比我想象的更坚强、更勇敢。它一次又一次地把我从舒适区抛出去，打开了我的世界观。)”可知，作者认为，独自旅行可以不断地开放她的世界观。故选A。 14．细节理解题。根据最后一段“Although I enjoy being alone, I have to admit that one of the coolest things about these small houses is that they are there to strengthen connection among strangers, and as such, there is usually a big fireplace next to excellent armchairs and sofas where guests can move around and make small talks at night. (虽然我喜欢独处，但我不得不承认，这些小房子最酷的一点是，它们可以加强陌生人之间的联系，因此，在出色的扶手椅和沙发旁边通常有一个大壁炉，客人可以在晚上四处走动并进行闲聊。)”可知，房子里的大壁炉可以加强人与人之间的联系。故选C。 15．主旨大意题。根据第一段“I’m a huge fan of the Pacific Northwest and its bright green forests, rough coastline, and beaches decorated with wood, but visiting a top national park in summer often brings the opposite of what I come for — being alone — as huge crowds try hard to park and take photos.

Mostly, the morning ones were impossible to do as the hospital routine starts at half past five, so I mostly listened the evening ones, which were very helpful. Once, however, I managed the morning one, which talked about the importance of doing something or creating something which will survive us. The works of great poets and writers come to mind, but how many of us will write the next David Copperfield, or Ode to Autumn? Sporting triumphs also occur: the breaking of the four minute mile for instance. But again, how many of us are great athletes? So what can we do? Shakespeare writes, “The evil men do lives after them; the good is oft interred (often buried) with their bones.” For once, however, I think Shakespeare is wrong. I think the good we do can live after we have gone. Sir Terry Pratchett writes, “A man is not truly dead while his name is still spoken,” and I think that is more true. Perhaps we cannot expect our name to be remembered for hundreds or thousands of years, but to be remembered with kindness and even thankfulness after we’ve gone is surely something to strive for. I had two grannies when I was growing up. One was my mother’s mother; the other was our cousin’s grandmother on their father’s side. Our own grandmother died young, so this lovely lady adopted us as her honorary grandchildren. Granny was the most lovely and loving lady you could imagine. There were always cakes in the tin and a warm welcome whenever we visited, there were small presents at Christmas and on our birthdays, and we loved her dearly. It was only when I attended her funeral that I realized how far her love extended: the church was packed, and tale after tale was told of her kindness. Her name was — and possibly still is — spoken long after her death. I wish I could say the same of my other grandmother, but I can’t. My mother talks about her, but I don’t; there is no point in talking about unkindness. When I announced my retirement, a couple of months ago, I was stunned to receive so many emails and letters of thanks. My patients really appreciate all that I have done for them. That will last after I’m gone and spread down through generations. 16．Which of the following statements will the author probably agree with about the online meditation? A．The evening meditation are more important than the morning ones. B．The online meditation receive more attention in the evening. C．The morning meditation are difficult to use in daily life. D．The online meditation are worthy of the name. 17．The author quoted Sir Terry Pratchett’s words in order to __________. A．support Shakespeare’s statement on the afterlife B．argue that greatness is the only way to be remembered C．emphasize the importance of kindness to ordinary people D．criticize the idea that only evil deeds are remembered 18．Which of the following statements it TRUE according to the passage? A．The author’s granny on mother’s side was a kind person. B．Shakespeare believed the goodness fades far sooner than the evil. C．A man’s contribution is highly dependent on their achievements. D．People were happy to know the retirement of the author. 19．We can most probably find this passage in a __________. A．magazine featuring famous athletes B．blog post by a doctor who recently retired C．book about the importance of creating a legend D．medical journal discussing the benefits of meditation 【答案】16．D 17．D 18．B 19．B 【来源】上海市建平中学2022-2023学年高一下学期期末考试英语试题 【导语】本文是夹叙夹议文。讲述了作者认为当一个人的名字还在被人念叨时，他并没有真正死去，而只要我们多做善事，会死后继续传承下去，代代相传。 16．细节理解题。根据第一段“While I was in hospital, a friend recommended a popular online series of daily meditations, a “can’t afford to miss” in his mind. Mostly, the morning ones were impossible to do as the hospital routine starts at half past five, so I mostly listened the evening ones, which were very helpful.(在我住院期间，一位朋友向我推荐了一个网上流行的每日冥想系列，在他看来，这是一个“不能错过的”。大多数情况下，早上的是不可能做的，因为医院的日常工作在五点半开始，所以我主要听晚上的，这很有帮助)”可知，作者认为在线冥想是名副其实的。故选D项。 17．推理判断题。根据第三段“Shakespeare writes, “The evil men do lives after them; the good is oft interred (often buried) with their bones.” For once, however, I think Shakespeare is wrong. I think the good we do can live after we have gone. Sir Terry Pratchett writes, “A man is not truly dead while his name is still spoken,” and I think that is more true.(莎士比亚写道:“恶人死后永生; 好人往往和他们的尸骨一起被埋葬。”然而，这一次，我认为莎士比亚错了。我认为我们所做的好事可以在我们死后继续存在。特里·普拉切特爵士写道:“当一个人的名字还在被人念叨时，他并没有真正死去。”我认为这句话更贴切)”可知，作者引用特里·普拉切特爵士的话是为了批评那种认为只有邪恶的行为才会被记住的观点。故选D项。 18．细节理解题。根据第三段“Shakespeare writes, “The evil men do lives after them; the good is oft interred (often buried) with their bones.”(莎士比亚写道:“恶人死后永生; 好人往往和他们的尸骨一起被埋葬。”)”可知，莎士比亚相信善比恶消逝得更快。故选B项。 19．推理判断题。根据第一段“Once, however, I managed the morning one, which talked about the importance of doing something or creating something which will survive us.(然而，有一次，我读到了早晨的那篇，它讲的是做一些事情或创造一些东西的重要性，这些事情将使我们生存下去)”最后一段“When I announced my retirement, a couple of months ago, I was stunned to receive so many emails and letters of thanks. My patients really appreciate all that I have done for them.(几个月前，当我宣布退休时，我震惊地收到了如此多的电子邮件和感谢信。我的病人真的很感激我为他们所做的一切)”以及纵观全文，可知，这是一位退休医生的人生感悟，所以可能是一个最近退休的医生写的博客。故选B项。 主题03 人与自然—— Passage 1 （24-25高一下·上海市浦东新区·期末） I wanted the pleasure of being in Africa again. Feeling that the place was so large that it contained many untold tales and some hope and comedy and sweetness too, I aimed to reinsert myself in the bundy, as we used to call the bush, and to wander around. There I had lived and worked, happily, almost forty years ago, in the heart of the greenest continent. In those old undramatic days of my school teaching in the bundu, folks lived their lives on bush paths at the end of unpaved roads of red clay, in villages of grass-roofed huts. They had a new national flag, they had just gotten the vote, some had bikes, many talked about buying their first pair of shoes. They were hopeful, and, so was I, a schoolteacher living near a settlement of mud-huts among trees and fields—children shouting at play; and women bent double—most with infants on their backs—hoeing(锄地) the corn beans; and the men sitting in the shade. The Swahili word safari means “journey”, it has nothing to do with animals, someone “on safari” is just away and unobtainable and out of touch. Out of touch in Africa was where I wanted to be. The wish to disappear sends many travellers away. If you are thoroughly sick of being kept waiting at home or at work, travel is perfect: let other people wait for a change. Travel is a sort of revenge(报复) for having been put on hold, or having to leave messages on answering machines, not knowing your party’s extension, being kept waiting all your working life. But also being kept waiting is the human condition. Travel in the African bush can also be a sort of revenge on mobile phones and email, on telephones and the daily paper, on the aspects of globalization that allow anyone who chooses to get their hands on you. I desired to be unobtainable. I was going to Africa for the best of reasons—in a spirit of discovery—simply to disappear, to light out, with a suggestion of I dare you to try to find me. Home had become a routine, and routine made time pass quickly. I was a sitting duck in this predictable routine: people knew when to call me, they knew when I would be at my desk. I was in such regular touch that it was like having a job, a mode of life I hated. I was sick of being called up and asked for favors, hit up for money. You stick around too long and people begin to impose their own deadlines on you. 20．What did the writer expect from his journey? A．To have a variety of enjoyable experiences. B．To see how Africa had changed. C．To see impressive scenery. D．To meet some old friend. 21．Forty years ago, how did the writer feel about the future of the country where he was living? A．Little was likely to change. B．Things were likely to improve. C．Women would do most of the work. D．People’s expectations were too limited. 22．In Paragraph 3, what reason does the writer give for wanting to travel to Africa? A．He wanted a change of activity. B．He wanted people to be unable to contact him. C．His health was suffering from staying at home. D．He had been waiting to return to Africa for long. 23．The writer says “I was a sitting duck” in Paragraph 5 to show that _______. A．he was boring B．he was easy to find C．he is fond of ducks D．he was always lending money 【答案】20．A 21．B 22．B 23．B 【来源】上海市曹杨第二中学2022-2023学年高一下学期期末考试英语试题 【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章讲述了大约四十年前作者在非洲教书的经历，那里的人和事让作者想要再次体会在非洲的快乐，并讲述了旅行的意义。 【详解】20．推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Feeling that the place was so large that it contained many untold tales and some hope and comedy and sweetness too, I aimed to reinsert myself in the bundy, as we used to call the bush, and to wander around.(我觉得这个地方太大了，里面有很多不为人知的故事，也有一些希望、喜剧和甜蜜，于是我打算重新融入我们过去所说的灌木丛中，四处闲逛。)”可知，作者打算去非洲旅行，在那里四处逛逛，去探索那里不为人知的故事，以及希望、喜剧和甜蜜。由此可推测出，作者希望自己在旅行中可以有各种各样的愉快经历。故选A。 21．推理判断题。根据第二段中的“They had a new national flag, they had just gotten the vote, some had bikes, many talked about buying their first pair of shoes.(他们有了一面新国旗，他们刚刚获得了选票，有些人有自行车，许多人谈到要买他们的第一双鞋。)”和“They were hopeful, and, so was I(他们满怀希望，我也是)”可知，四十年前，作者所在的那个国家有了新国旗，人们有了选票权，有的人有了自行车，没鞋的人打算买鞋穿，人人都满怀希望。由此可推测出，这个国家的情况得到了改善。故选B。 22．细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Out of touch in Africa was where I wanted to be.(在非洲失去联系是我想达到的目的。)”和“Travel is a sort of revenge(报复) for having been put on hold, or having to leave messages on answering machines, not knowing your party’s extension, being kept waiting all your working life.(旅行是对你被搁置，或者不得不在答录机上留言、不知道你的派对延期、在你的工作生涯中一直在等待这些情况的一种报复。)”可知，作者想去非洲旅行时因为他不想让人们能够联系上他。故选B。 23．推理判断题。根据冒号后的“people knew when to call me, they knew when I would be at my desk.(人们知道什么时候该给我打电话，他们知道我什么时候会在办公桌前。)”可知，人们清楚地了解作者，知道何时给他打电话可以打得通，知道他何时可以处理工作事务。由此可推测出，作者说“I was a sitting duck(我是一个易受攻击者)”是想说明他很容易被人找到。故选B。 Passage 2 （24-25高一下·上海市复旦大学附属中学·期末） Take the One-Ton Challenge The One-Ton challenge is your challenge to take action on climate change by reducing household waste, using less energy and using it wisely. 24 We can make a difference. Like many residents of Montreal, Marlene started with examining her lifestyle to see what action she could take to help the environment and help reduce climate change. She knows that reducing her greenhouse gas emissions can help protect our climate and give us cleaner air. 25 For starters, she decided to move closer to her work so she wouldn’t have to buy a car. Most of the time she rides her bike, but when she needs to travel farther, she uses public transportation or car-sharing services. 26 If she were driving a midsize car 20,000 km/year, they would be up around 4 tons! 27 She installed a low-flow showerhead in the bathroom and replaced some of her light bulbs with compact fluorescent bulbs (节能灯). Already, her monthly energy costs are about half of what the previous tenants paid. Marlene also recycles as much as she can and buys local products to reduce the amount of emissions normally created by the transportation of food. Through taking the One-Ton Challenge, Marlene discovered the many ways she can help reduce harmful emissions. Knowing that she is doing her part to help the environment, she continues by encouraging her friends and family to take action too. A．Inside her apartment, she restored doors and the windows, and put curtains up to help keep the heat in. B．At first, we need to figure out what has caused the climate change and what we should do to cope with that. C．By taking the One-Ton Challenge, Marlene has discovered lots of ways to make a difference. D．She is adopting various ways to reduce her carbon footprints without lowering the quality of life. E．After all, if we are part of the problem, we can be part of the solution. F．She estimates that her transportation related emissions are less than one ton. 【答案】24．E 25．D 26．F 27．A 【来源】上海市晋元高级中学2025-2026学年第二学期第三学程考试高一英语试卷 【导语】本文介绍一吨环保挑战，以Marlene为例，讲述其通过低碳出行、居家节能、回收利用等方式减排，践行环保并带动他人助力改善气候。 24．根据上文“The One-Ton challenge is your challenge to take action on climate change by reducing household waste, using less energy and using it wisely.(“一吨挑战”是你的一个行动挑战，即通过减少家庭废弃物、降低能源消耗以及合理利用能源来应对气候变化)”以及后文“We can make a difference.(我们能够有所作为)”可知，前文介绍一吨挑战、应对气候问题，后文提出我们可以带来改变。E选项“毕竟，如果我们是问题的一部分，也能成为解决办法的一部分”完美衔接首尾。 25．根据上文“Like many residents of Montreal, Marlene started with examining her lifestyle to see what action she could take to help the environment and help reduce climate change. She knows that reducing her greenhouse gas emissions can help protect our climate and give us cleaner air.(和蒙特利尔的许多居民一样，玛琳开始审视自己的生活方式，以探寻自己能够采取哪些行动来帮助保护环境并减缓气候变化。她深知减少温室气体排放有助于保护我们的气候，并使我们呼吸到更清新的空气)”可知，上文提到她明白减排利于环境；且下文开始列举各种环保行动。D选项“她用多种方式减少碳足迹，同时不降低生活质量”承上启下。 26．根据后文“If she were driving a midsize car 20,000 km/year, they would be up around 4 tons!(如果她每年驾驶一辆中型汽车行驶20000公里，她的交通排放量将会增加到大约 4 吨！)”可知，后文提到如果开车每年会高达4吨。F选项“她估计自己因交通出行产生的排放不到1吨”前后数据对比，逻辑对应。 27．根据后文“She installed a low-flow showerhead in the bathroom and replaced some of her light bulbs with compact fluorescent bulbs (节能灯). Already, her monthly energy costs are about half of what the previous tenants paid.(她在浴室安装了一个低流量的淋浴喷头，并将部分灯泡更换成了节能灯。如今，她每月的能源费用仅为前租户的约一半)”可知，本段讲居家节能（节水花洒、节能灯）。A选项“在她的公寓里，她修复了门窗，并挂上了窗帘，以帮助保持热量”同属室内节能措施，话题一致。 Passage 3 （24-25高一下·上海市复旦大学附属中学·期末） Laban and Miriam greeted me at their front gate and started telling me their story. Two years before, they had been smallholder farmers. Like most of their neighbors, they had been desperately poor. Laban would work odd jobs (打零工) to make ends meet. By the time I met them, their life had improved dramatically. They now had four cows, which were producing 26 liters of milk every day. Their cows earned them nearly $4 per day, which in that part of Kenya was enough to allow them to rebuild their home, grow pineapples for export, and send their children to school. Worldwide, there are over 500 million smallholder farms, and about two-thirds of people in poverty work in agriculture. Yet despite their large numbers, smallholder farmers are responsible for remarkably few greenhouse gas emissions, because they can’t afford to use nearly as many products and services that involve fossil fuels. A typical Kenyan produces 55 times less carbon dioxide than an American, and rural farmers like Laban and Miriam produce even less. The cruel injustice is that even though the world’s poor are doing essentially nothing to cause climate change, they’re the ones that are going to be suffering the most from it. As the climate gets warmer, droughts and floods will become more frequent, wiping out harvests more often. Livestock eat less and produce less meat and milk. The air and soil lose moisture, leaving less water available for plants. In South Asia and sub-Saharan Africa, tens of millions of acres of farmland will become substantially drier. An increasing number of crop-eating pests are already invading more lands as they find more favorable environments to live in. The growing season will also get shorter. At four degrees Celsius of warming, most of sub-Saharan Africa could see it shrink by 20 percent or more. All of these problems will make food far more expensive for those who can least afford it. As food becomes less available, an already enormous inequity between rich and poor will get even worse. Today, a child born in Chad is 50 times more likely to die before his fifth birthday than a child born in Finland. More kids won’t get all the nutrients they need, weakening their bodies’ natural defenses and making them much more likely to die of infectious diseases. In the end, the worst impact of climate change in poor countries is that the rates of malnutrition and death will increase. 28．According to the article, Laban and Miriam managed to improve the quality of their life by ________. A．raising a few dairy cows B．selling pineapples abroad C．spending more time doing odd jobs D．involving their children in farm work 29．The underlined pronoun “it” in Paragraph 6 refers to ________. A．the growing season B．the size of farmland C．the duration of winter D．the number of crop-eating pests 30．According to the article, the world is likely to see an increase in ________. (1) less productive animals   (2) harmful insects   (3) natural disasters    (4) infectious diseases A．(2)(3) B．(1)(2)(3) C．(1)(3) D．(1)(3)(4) 31．The writer thinks that the poor are going to be the hardest-hit victims of climate change because ________. A．the geographical location of their homeland is far from ideal B．nobody will be ready to help them fight against climate change C．climate change will considerably widen the gap between rich and poor D．they don’t know how to reduce the effects of greenhouse gas emissions 【答案】28．A 29．A 30．B 31．C 【来源】上海市杨浦区控江中学2025-2026学年第一学期高一年级英语期末考试卷 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章以肯尼亚农户生活改善为例，说明贫困小农碳排放极少，却因气候变暖面临灾害、减产、虫害等问题，将承受最严重影响，贫富差距与饥饿、死亡风险进一步加剧。 28．细节理解题。根据第二段“They now had four cows, which were producing 26 liters of milk every day. Their cows earned them nearly $4 per day, which in that part of Kenya was enough to allow them to rebuild their home, grow pineapples for export, and send their children to school.(他们现在养了四头奶牛，每天产奶26升。这些奶牛每天能为他们带来近4美元的收入，在肯尼亚那个地区，这样的收入足以让他们重建家园、种植出口用的菠萝以及送孩子上学)”可知，拉班和米里亚姆通过饲养几头奶牛，成功地改善了他们的生活质量。故选A。 29．词句猜测题。根据第六段“The growing season will also get shorter. At four degrees Celsius of warming, most of sub-Saharan Africa could see it shrink by 20 percent or more. (生长期也会缩短。如果气温升高4摄氏度，撒哈拉以南非洲地区的大部分地区可能会出现生长季缩短20%甚至更多的情况)”可知，前一句主语为the growing season（生长期），后文it指代同一对象，即生长期缩短20%及以上。故“它”指的是“生长期”这一概念。故选A。 30．细节理解题。根据第五段“As the climate gets warmer, droughts and floods will become more frequent, wiping out harvests more often.(随着气候变暖，干旱和洪水将会变得更加频繁，从而导致农作物收成更频繁地遭受损失)”；“Livestock eat less and produce less meat and milk.(家畜吃得更少，产出的肉和奶也更少了)”以及倒数第二段“An increasing number of crop-eating pests are already invading more lands as they find more favorable environments to live in.(越来越多以农作物为食的害虫正在侵入更多的土地，因为它们找到了更适合生存的环境)”可知，未来世界可能会出现以下情况：（1）动物的生产力下降；（2）、有害昆虫增多；（3）、自然灾害频发。故选B。 31．细节理解题。根据第四段中的“The cruel injustice is that even though the world’s poor are doing essentially nothing to cause climate change, they’re the ones that are going to be suffering the most from it.(残酷的不公在于，尽管世界上的穷人基本上没有做任何导致气候变化的事情，但他们将是受影响最严重的人)”以及第七段中的“All of these problems will make food far more expensive for those who can least afford it. As food becomes less available, an already enormous inequity between rich and poor will get even worse.(所有这些问题都将使那些最买不起食物的人面临更昂贵的食品价格。随着食物越来越匮乏，本已巨大的贫富差距将进一步恶化)”可知，作者认为穷人受气候变化冲击最严重，核心原因是气候变化会大幅扩大贫富差距，让本就贫困的人雪上加霜。故选C。 20 / 30 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
