专题04 阅读理解 记叙文 主题01 人与社会——文学艺术与体育 Passage 1 （24-25学年高二下 四川省眉山市东坡区眉山北外附属东坡外国语学校·期末） “Twinkle, twinkle, little star, how I wonder what you are …” The sweet sound of the well-known childhood song came out of the village office in Gaozhuang in Zhongwei, Ningxia Hui autonomous region. Inside, a small group of children were learning to play the guitar with Song Hao, deputy curator(副馆长) of Zhongwei Museum. Song is 48 years and was born into an artistic family. He received strict musical training as a child and was quite good at playing the guitar and composing music. He had a wish to do what he could with his own music to make the world a brighter place for the children. In June last year, he found an opportunity to turn that wish into reality. He was chosen to take part in rural vitalization(振兴) work in Gaozhuang for two years, and in his spare time, he started teaching village children to play the guitar. “There’s something really magical about music,” he said, remembering that when he played for the children, many had twinkles in their eyes. Song asked them if they wanted to learn to play, and they all said “Yes”, so he started a free class to teach them on weekends and during the summer and winter holidays. He paid for 20 guitars and music textbooks from his own pocket and began to teach them the basics, like how to pluck(弹拨) the strings and read music. The children loved the classes so much that they would arrive at the village office early to wait for Song. Over the past six months, a number of children have learned to play entire pieces, and Song said that he could feel the happiness and confidence that learning to play music had brought to them. Shen Mingyi, Shen Huihong’s father, spoke highly of Song and his guitar class, saying that his daughter had become more extroverted as a result. 1．What did Song Hao do during his spare time in Gaozhuang? A．He held concerts in the village. B．He went sightseeing with village school. C．He helped to build the village school. D．He taught village children to play the guitar. 2．What made the children go to the guitar classes early? A．The school rules. B．The teacher’s plan. C．Their love for the classes. D．Their parents’ requirements. 3．What does the underlined word “extroverted” mean in the last paragraph? A．Polite. B．Outgoing. C．Anxious. D．Confused. 4．Which of the following can best describe Song Hao? A．Selfless. B．Humorous. C．Honest. D．Brave. 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．B 4．A 【导语】本文是篇记叙文。宋浩是宁夏回族自治区中卫博物馆的一名副馆长，从小出生于艺术世家，擅长弹奏吉他和编曲，希望能够通过自己的音乐给孩子们带来更光明的世界。去年他有幸被选中参加了农村振兴工作，利用业余时间免费教授孩子们弹吉他，深受孩子们喜爱，他也实现了自己的愿望。 1．细节理解题。根据第四段“He was chosen to take part in rural vitalization(振兴) work in Gaozhuang for two years, and in his spare time, he started teaching village children to play the guitar.”（他被选派到高庄参加乡村振兴工作两年，在业余时间，他开始教村里的孩子们弹吉他）可知宋浩在高庄用业余时间教乡村孩子弹吉他。故选D。 2．细节理解题。根据第七段“The children loved the classes so much that they would arrive at the village office early to wait for Song.”（孩子们非常喜欢上课，以至于他们会早早地到村办等宋。）可知，孩子们早早去上吉他课的动力是来自他们对课程的热爱。故选C。 3．词义猜测题。根据第七段“ Song said that he could feel the happiness and confidence that learning to play music had brought to them.”（宋说他能感受到学习演奏音乐给他们带来的快乐和自信）和画线词前“Shen Mingyi, Shen Huihong’s father, spoke highly of Song and his guitar class…”（Shen Mingyi，Shen Huihong的父亲高度评价了宋和他的吉他课）可知，宋的吉他课使孩子们变得更加乐观和自信，从而更加外向。故选B。 4．推理判断题。根据全文内容，尤其是第四段“… in his spare time, he started teaching village children to play the guitar.”（在业余时间，他开始教村里的孩子们弹吉他）和第六段“so he started a free class to teach them”（所以他开始免费教他们）及“He paid for 20 guitars and music textbooks from his own pocket ”（他自掏腰包买了二十把吉他和音乐教材）可推断，宋浩是不惜牺牲个人时间和金钱无偿教孩子们弹吉他，是无私的。故选A。 Passage 2 （24-25学年高二下四川省绵阳外国语学校·期末） “I was wondering if Patrick would sing The Power of Love during the service on Thanks-giving Day,” the community youth director asked in a message left on our answering machine. My wife Catherine and I struggled to contain our excitement about our five-year-old son’s first solo(独唱). Catherine carefully explained the possibility, reminding Patrick how beautifully he sang, telling him how much fun it would be. Patrick himself seemed less convinced. “You know, Mom,” he said, “sometimes when I have to do something important, I get kind of scared.” Grown-ups feel that way, too, we told him, but the decision was left to him. He took only a few minutes. “Okay,” Patrick said. “I’ll do it.” From the time he was a baby, Patrick has enjoyed an unusual passion for music. By age four, he could pound out several bars of Wagner’s Ride of the Valkyries on the piano. Still, I could hardly imagine myself, at age five, singing into a microphone before hundreds of people. When Thanks-giving Day arrived, my expectations were limited. Catherine, our daughter Melanie and I sat in darkness as a spotlight found my son, standing alone at the microphone. He was dressed in white, with a pair of angel wings. Slowly, confidently, Patrick hit every note. As his voice washed over the people, he seemed a true angel. There was eternity(永恒)in Patrick’s voice that night, a beauty rich enough to bring heavy tears to my eyes. His song was soon over, and at my side, Catherine brushed away tears and Melanie sobbed, too. Outside, I received congratulations from fellow community members. I found my son who looked at me with curiosity. “You’re crying? Why, Dad?” “I have to cry, for nothing else but your singing.” Patrick smiled proudly and flew into my arms. “I don’t understand,” my son said into my shoulder, “But maybe you do have your reason to cry.” 1．What did the community youth director intend to do in the message? A．Invite Patrick to perform. B．Admire Patrick’s singing skills. C．Enquire about a singing event. D．Decline Patrick’s participation. 2．How did Patrick react to the news initially? A．He was over-excited. B．He was less confident. C．He showed no interest. D．He rejected the offer directly. 3．What does the father mean at last? A．Every cloud has a silver lining. B．The early bird catches the worm. C．Actions speak louder than words. D．True beauty lies in overcoming one’s fears. 4．What is the text mainly about? A．A celebration for Thanks-giving Day. B．A family’s selfless service at the community. C．A young boy’s extraordinary talent for music. D．A father’s experience of his son’s performance. 【答案】1．A 2．B 3．D 4．D 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。社区青年主任邀5岁帕特里克感恩节独唱，他起初害怕，最终自信演出，父亲感动见证。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段“‘I was wondering if Patrick would sing The Power of Love during the service on Thanks-giving Day,’ the community youth director asked in a message left on our answering machine.(社区青年主任在我们的答录机上留言说：‘我想知道帕特里克是否会在感恩节的仪式上演唱《爱的力量》。’)”可知，社区青年主任在留言中是想邀请帕特里克去表演。故选A项。 2．细节理解题。根据第二段“Patrick himself seemed less convinced. ‘You know, Mom,’ he said, ‘sometimes when I have to do something important, I get kind of scared.’(帕特里克自己似乎不太有信心。‘你知道的，妈妈，’他说，‘有时候当我必须做一些重要的事情时，我会有点害怕。’)”可知，帕特里克最初对这个消息的反应是不太自信。故选B项。 3．推理判断题。根据前文可知，帕特里克一开始害怕在众人面前唱歌，但最后在感恩节仪式上自信地完成了独唱，表现非常出色。父亲最后说“I have to cry, for nothing else but your singing.(我不得不哭，只是因为你的演唱。)”并结合帕特里克克服恐惧完成演唱的过程，父亲的意思是真正的美在于克服自己的恐惧。故选D项。 4．主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章主要讲述了作者的儿子帕特里克接到在感恩节仪式上独唱的邀请，从一开始的害怕到最后自信地完成演唱，作者见证了这一过程以及自己的感受，所以文章主要是关于一位父亲见证儿子表演的经历。故选D项。 主题02 人与自我——生活与学习 Passage 1 （24-25学年高二下四川省甘孜藏族自治州·期末） My family had a room that we called the Library, but even back then I knew it was just our dining room with a few bookshelves around a small table. When I was a kid, I was told that all these books are precious things— they must never be folded, bent, or broken. Any dirty marks or notes on a book are banned and our reading should always be a clean activity since it’s what separates us from the beasts. Preservation of all texts was the most important thing in the world. Years later, when I began reading everything I could in my early teens, I tiptoed into the Library one day and discovered, to my horror, that all the books were still extremely new. It was row after row, shelf after shelf. Something clicked and I knew I had found a horrible secret about my family: they had bought these books to be displayed like jewellery, rather than to be read. In that moment I knew that all those silly rules around reading and books were dead wrong and that there was nothing sadder in this world than an unused book— clean, without any trace of the reader at all. Now here’s the secret: good reading is messy reading. If I want the kind of novel that gets deep into my bones, the sort of non-fiction mystery that stays with me years after the fact, then I must bring sticky notes (便利贴) and let my books get scuffed (磨损) along the way. I should always walk away from a book with visible progress of my reading. After years of treating my books as if they ought to be preserved in a museum, I now believe that you should honour the books by breaking them. Read them all so messily! Truly read the books, anytime and anywhere, no matter how much we f old them, bend them, or tear them! Throw them into your backpack or leave them open by the side of your bed. Don’t worry about stains or torn edges after years of reading. That is what a book is. That is what a book is for. 1．Where did the author’s family store their books? A．In the study. B．In the dining room. C．In the bedroom. D．In the living room. 2．What does the author imply about his family’s book collection? A．It was piled in a mess. B．It was mainly for decoration. C．It was large and various. D．It was kept for a good price. 3．What does the underlined part “Something clicked” mean? A．I clicked the mouse. B．I suddenly felt puzzled. C．Something made a sound. D．Something occurred to me. 4．Which opinion may the author agree on? A．Good books are valuable jewelry. B．Books are the ladder of human progress. C．Read thousands of books regardless of their state. D．Protect books as they’ re the source of knowledge. 【答案】1．B 2．B 3．D 4．C 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者的家人把书存放在餐厅，随着作者长大认识到了家里的书籍只是装饰品，感悟到在这个世界上没有什么比一本没有用过的书更令人悲伤的了——干净，没有任何读者的痕迹。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段“My family had a room that we called the Library, but even back then I knew it was just our dining room with a few bookshelves around a small table.(我们家有一个房间，我们称之为图书馆，但即使在那时，我也知道那只是我们的餐厅，在一张小桌子周围放着几个书架)”可知，作者的家人把书存放在餐厅。故选B。 2．推理判断题。根据第二段“I knew I had found a horrible secret about my family: they had bought these books to be displayed like jewellery, rather than to be read.(我知道我发现了一个关于我家人的可怕秘密:他们买这些书是为了像珠宝一样陈列，而不是为了阅读)”可知，作者家的藏书主要是用来装饰的。故选B。 3．词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“Years later, when I began reading everything I could in my early teens, I tiptoed into the Library one day and discovered, to my horror, that all the books were still extremely new. It was row after row, shelf after shelf.(多年以后，在我十几岁的时候，我开始读所有我能读的书。有一天，我蹑手蹑脚地走进图书馆，惊恐地发现，所有的书都还是全新的。一排接一排，一架接一架)”以及划线词后文“I knew I had found a horrible secret about my family: they had bought these books to be displayed like jewellery, rather than to be read.(我知道我发现了一个关于我家人的可怕秘密：他们买这些书是为了像珠宝一样陈列，而不是为了阅读)”可知，作者发现所有的书是全新的，于是突然明白了家里的书是作为装饰品，而不是为了阅读。故划线词意思是“我突然明白一件事”。故选D。 4．推理判断题。根据最后一段“After years of treating my books as if they ought to be preserved in a museum, I now believe that you should honour the books by breaking them. Read them all so messily! Truly read the books, anytime and anywhere, no matter how much we f old them, bend them, or tear them! Throw them into your backpack or leave them open by the side of your bed. Don’t worry about stains or torn edges after years of reading. That is what a book is. That is what a book is for.(多年来，我一直把我的书当作应该保存在博物馆里的东西来对待，现在我认为，你应该打破它们，以示对这些书的尊重。把它们统统都读一遍！真正地阅读书籍，无论何时何地，无论我们如何将它们折叠、弯曲或撕裂！把它们扔进背包里，或者把它们打开放在床边。不用担心经年累月的阅读会留下污渍或破损的边缘。这就是一本书。这就是书的作用)”可知，作者认为读成千上万的书，不管它们的状态如何。故选C。 Passage 2 （24-25学年高二下四川省雅安市·期末） When I got my first research project to work, I was so excited.Seeing research in action was enjoyable. My excitement, though, was soon cut short when my professor asked me to write a research paper on the project. My body tensed. Writing was the last thing I wanted to do; it’s one reason why I pursued science in the first place. I had hated writing since I was a little boy. But I couldn’t avoid it: writing classes were required in high school. For hours, I stared at blank pages, trying to turn my disorganised thoughts into fluent sentences. My teachers would return my papers littered with red, showing my paragraphs were out of order. I was frustrated to no end. How could I know what was good if there was no objectively right answer? Maybe I wasn’t cut out for writing. I studied engineering in college. A few years later, I joined a research lab. The professor assigned me an initial project to improve the efficiency of an inductor (电路感应器). I spent weeks setting up a test for a new design. When I got the results, though, the numbers weren’t good. I kept trying new designs, using the results to brainstorm ideas with a team of researchers. Finally, after dozens of designs, we had one that could work. I was overjoyed — until my professor told me to write that research paper. In panic, I asked a graduate student in my lab for help. I carefully wrote an outline. But when I asked him for feedback, I soon found the paper full of red marks. Before I could quit in defeat, though, the graduate student explained, “Red doesn’t mean you’re a bad writer. Writing isn’t a one-and-done thing. It requires revising your work, often several times.” Suddenly it occurred to me, “Hadn’t I done the same thing when I was designing my research project?” I kept improving my outline, eventually turning it into sentences and paragraphs, guided by feedback from others. Finally, I made it, and surprisingly, I was having fun. From then on, writing became one of my favourite parts of research, and it still is today. It’s a future I never could have imagined during my early struggles with writing classes.But I came around. 1．What was the author’s initial reaction when asked to write a research paper? A．He felt excited and motivated. B．He was nervous and reluctant. C．He decided to change his research topic. D．He immediately sought help from classmates. 2．What do we know about the author’s final research design from paragraph 3? A．It’s hard-earned. B．It’s well-known. C．It’s poorly-made. D．It’s independently-finished. 3．Which of the following word can replace the underlined phrase “cut out”? A．Grateful. B．Born. C．Responsible. D．Famous. 4．What did the author learn from the graduate student’s words? A．A good beginning is half done. B．Actions speak louder than words. C．A bad workman always blames his tools. D．Trial and error opens the door to progress. 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．B 4．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者从最初对写作的抵触和恐惧，到通过设计研究项目的过程领悟到写作与设计的相似性，并最终爱上写作的经历。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段中“My excitement, though, was soon cut short when my professor asked me to write a research paper on the project. My body tensed. Writing was the last thing I wanted to do; it’s one reason why I pursued science in the first place. (然而，当我的教授让我写一篇关于这个项目的研究论文时，我的兴奋感很快就消失了。我的身体紧张起来。写作是我最不想做的事情；这也是我一开始追求科学的原因之一)”可知，当作者被要求写研究论文时，他感到紧张且不情愿。故选B项。 2．细节理解题。根据第三段中“I kept trying new designs, using the results to brainstorm ideas with a team of researchers. Finally, after dozens of designs, we had one that could work. (我不断尝试新的设计，利用结果与一组研究人员进行头脑风暴。最后，经过几十次设计，我们找到了一个可行的方案)”可知，作者最终的研究设计是经过多次尝试和努力才得到的，因此是来之不易的。故选A项。 3．词句猜测题。根据第二段中“I had hated writing since I was a little boy. (我从小就讨厌写作)”以及“How could I know what was good if there was no objectively right answer? Maybe I wasn’t cut out for writing. (如果没有客观正确的答案，我怎么知道什么是好的？也许我不cut out写作)”可知，作者从小就讨厌写作，且认为写作没有客观正确的答案，因此怀疑自己是否适合写作。由此可推知，“cut out”在此处意为“适合，天生具有……的才能”，与“Born (天生适合)”意思相近。故选B项。 4．推理判断题。根据第四段中“Before I could quit in defeat, though, the graduate student explained, “Red doesn’t mean you’re a bad writer. Writing isn’t a one-and-done thing. It requires revising your work, often several times.” Suddenly it occurred to me, “Hadn’t I done the same thing when I was designing my research project?” (然而，在我认输放弃之前，这位研究生解释说：“红色并不意味着你是个糟糕的作家。写作不是一次就能完成的事情。它需要多次修改你的作品。”我突然想到，“我在设计研究项目时不是也做了同样的事情吗？”)”可知，研究生的话让作者意识到写作和设计研究项目一样，都需要经过多次尝试和修改才能取得进步。由此可推知，作者从研究生的话中学到了“试错打开进步之门”的道理。故选D项。 主题 03 人与社会 —— 社会服务与人际沟通 Passage 1 （24-25学年高二下四川省广安市广安区·期末） Callie Clemens was close to falling asleep when an emergency message on the Facebook page she runs caught her eye. A tiny black dog had been seen crossing a road. Whimpers (呜咽声) had been heard from inside a nearby storm drain (下水道), so there was likely another dog — maybe more than one — caught there. Clemens got out of bed and drove to the scene. Once there, she took a flashlight, pulled a metal grate (格栅) off the drain and climbed down. After lowering herself down the drain, Clemens went through about 10 feet of a narrow tunnel (管道) before reaching an area where she could search. She pointed her flashlight at the dark place and saw two sets of eyes. Then the dogs ran off. Around midnight, volunteers arrived and joined Clemens. They worked until 3 a.m. trying to track the dogs. Although they were not able to find the two dogs that Clemens had seen, they did find a female black dog outside. There were at least two more caught below. Clemens was not about to give up. She went home for a few hours of sleep and then back to the scene, joined by several volunteers. They finally found a tiny white dog. That left one dog underground. Clemens climbed down the storm drain several more times. But the fact that she found an exit hole and had stopped hearing the dog’s whimpers made her confident that it had found its way out. This was not Clemens’s first time to get into a storm drain. Clemens is known in the Houston area for her rescue (营救) efforts. Over the past nine years, she’s saved at least 100 animals. Clemens’s act doesn’t surprise Tena Lundquist Faust, who runs another Houston animal rescue nonprofit. “Once she becomes focused on a rescue situation, she is unstoppable,” says Faust. “She is really a rock star.” 1．How did people know there was likely another dog caught in the storm drain? A．Its voice was heard by someone. B．It was seen crossing a road nearby. C．Clemens saw its eyes in the tunnel. D．Volunteers saw it in the storm drain. 2．What did Clemens do after seeing the emergency message? A．She called for volunteers. B．She drove to the scene. C．She posted a response online. D．She went back to sleep. 3．Which of the following can best describe Clemens? A．Wise. B．Confident. C．Graceful. D．Caring. 4．What is the main purpose of the text? A．To describe a rescue practice. B．To introduce animal behavior, C．To complain about poor drainage systems. D．To stress the teamwork in rescue. 【答案】1．A 2．B 3．D 4．A 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Callie Clemens营救下水道里的狗的故事。 1．细节理解题。由文章第一段中“Whimpers (呜咽声) had been heard from inside a nearby storm drain (下水道), so there was likely another dog — maybe more than one — caught there. (附近的下水道里传来了呜咽声，所以很可能还有另一只狗——也许不止一只——被困在了那里。)”可知，人们听到附近的下水道里有呜咽声，所以判断可能还有一只或更多的狗被困在那里。故选A。 2．细节理解题。由文章第二段中“Clemens got out of bed and drove to the scene. (Clemens从床上爬起来，开车赶到了现场。)”可知，Clemens开车赶到了现场。故选B。 3．推理判断题。通读全文，特别是根据最后一段中“Clemens is known in the Houston area for her rescue (营救) efforts. Over the past nine years, she’s saved at least 100 animals. (Clemens在休斯敦地区因她的营救行动而闻名。在过去的九年里，她至少救过100只动物。)”可知，Clemens是一个有爱心的人。故选D。 4．推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是由第一段“Callie Clemens was close to falling asleep when an emergency message on the Facebook page she runs caught her eye. A tiny black dog had been seen crossing a road. Whimpers (呜咽声) had been heard from inside a nearby storm drain (下水道), so there was likely another dog — maybe more than one — caught there. (Callie Clemens快要睡着时，她在自己管理的脸书页面上看到了一条紧急消息。有人看到一只小黑狗在过马路。附近的下水道里传来了呜咽声，所以很可能还有另一只狗——也许不止一只——被困在了那里。)”和第二段“Clemens got out of bed and drove to the scene. Once there, she took a flashlight, pulled a metal grate (格栅) off the drain and climbed down. After lowering herself down the drain, Clemens went through about 10 feet of a narrow tunnel (管道) before reaching an area where she could search. (Clemens从床上爬起来，开车赶到了现场。到达后，她拿起手电筒，卸下了下水道口的金属格栅，然后爬了下去。顺着下水道往下爬后，克莱门斯穿过了一条大约10英尺长的狭窄管道，才到达一个可以搜寻的区域。)”可知，文章主要讲述了Clemens营救被困在下水道里的狗的过程，故文章的主要目的是描述一次营救行动。故选A。 Passage 2 （24-25学年高二下四川省达州市·期末） As a middle school adviser, I know firsthand how unkind kids can be to each other — but today, I saw something that reminded me just how friendly they really are. It was “College Day” at our school, when students wear gear from colleges and universities, which were designed according to their height and weight. And we focus on the importance of pursuing education after high school. At lunch, we hosted a fun question-and-answer activity with buzzers (蜂鸣抢答器), prizes, and questions about education funds, on-the-job training programs, and post-secondary options. Six students came up at a time to play. During one round, two of the students who participated were from our specialized classroom. These students are amazing — strong-minded, determined, and full of heart. As the game began, I got ready to step in if they needed support or if they felt left out. The first question went to one of the general education students. Then, on the second question, Frank, one of our students from the specialized class, rang in first. Before I could even help, a few classmates quietly came up behind him and whispered the answer in his ear. He repeated it with excitement, and when I announced it was correct, the crowd erupted in cheers — louder than I’d heard all day. It happened again with the next question. This time, the crowd began cheering Frank’s name, and he lit up with pride. More students from the class were invited up to play, and the cheering only grew louder. The whole room was filled with delight — students supporting one another, showing joy, unity, and genuine kindness. We often talk about the challenges this generation faces, but I saw something powerful today. These kids are good. They’re tender-hearted. They lift each other up. And in that moment, they reminded me that the future is in very good hands. 1．What does the word “gear” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A．Caps. B．Glasses. C．watches. D．Uniforms. 2．What did the author do at the beginning of the game? A．He prepared to ring the buzzer first. B．He announced the answer instantly. C．He planned to assist students in need. D．He left students behind without hesitation. 3．What made Frank proud? A．His kindness to others. B．Peers’ praise and shouts. C．His confidence in himself. D．Peers’ support and cheers. 4．What message does the text convey about the kids? A．They are ambitious. B．They are stressful. C．They are hopeful. D．They are grateful. 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．D 4．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者在学校“大学日”活动中看到学生们互相支持、展现善意的故事。 1．词义猜测题。根据第二段中“It was “College Day” at our school, when students wear gear from colleges and universities, which were designed according to their height and weight.(那天是我们学校的“大学日”，学生们会穿上根据身高和体重量身定制的各所学院和大学的gear)”可知，因为制服通常是根据人的身高和体重来设计的，所以学生穿的是制服，所以gear指的是“制服”。故选D。 2．细节理解题。 根据第三段中“As the game began, I got ready to step in if they needed support or if they felt left out.(游戏开始时，我准备好在他们需要支持或感到被冷落时介入)”可知，作者在游戏开始时准备帮助需要支持或感到被冷落的学生。故选C。 3．细节理解题。 根据第五段中“This time, the crowd began cheering Frank’s name, and he lit up with pride.(这一次，人群开始为弗兰克欢呼，他骄傲地笑了)”可知，是同伴的支持和欢呼让弗兰克感到骄傲。故选D。 4．主旨大意题。 根据最后一段中“We often talk about the challenges this generation faces, but I saw something powerful today. These kids are good. They’re tender-hearted. They lift each other up. And in that moment, they reminded me that the future is in very good hands.(我们经常谈论这一代人面临的挑战，但今天我看到了强大的力量。这些孩子很好。他们心地善良。他们互相扶持。在那一刻，他们让我明白，未来大有希望)”可知，文章主要讲述了在“大学日”活动中，学生们互相支持、鼓励，展现了他们的善良和团结，作者认为这些孩子让未来大有希望。故选C。 Passage 3 （24-25学年高二下四川省德阳市·期末） The room felt electric with excitement. Tang Wensheng, a young interpreter, was about to start a big career. The leader of Guyana, Prime Minister Burnham, was coming. But just a few hours before, Tang knew nothing about him or his country.     She almost panicked. Then, she thought of her favorite way to learn: from books. She hurried to the library, looking for answers. Two books became her helpers — one about the history of Guyana, and one about Prime Minister Burnham. Hours passed quickly as she read about new places and people. When she walked into the meeting, she felt much more confident. Reading had turned a scary situation into a good chance to learn. To stay sharp when she wasn’t working on important jobs, Tang found a creative way to practice — reading English detective stories. These interesting stories helped her keep her language skills strong and her vocabulary wide. Reading was not only for learning new things, but also for staying in top form. Later, she worked at the China Daily newspaper. Every day, she had to understand lots of new information from around the world. It reminded her that she always had more to learn. However, the many books she had read gave her a strong base. Her trust in reading became like an anchor in a sea of information. “Books teach you to be humble,” she said years later. “They show you how much you don’t know, and that makes you want to keep learning.” Now, when AI is becoming so important, Tang still believes in reading. “If we don’ t keep reading and learning,” she said, “we might get left behind as the world changes.” Reading, she proved, is more than just preparation; it’s a map that helps us find our way through life. 1．What was Tang’s initial reaction when she heard about Prime Minister Burnham’s arrival? A．Confident in her interpretation. B．Eager to read her favourite books. C．Excited to meet a high-profile leader. D．Worried about her lack of relevant knowledge. 2．How did detective novels contribute to Tang’s career? A．They introduced her to the legal field. B．They improved her logical reasoning. C．They offered relaxation during breaks. D．They enhanced her language proficiency. 3．What can we infer about Tang Wensheng’s personality from the passage? A．Pessimistic & Hesitant.

C．Knowledge is power. D．Fortune favors the bold. 【答案】1．D 2．D 3．C 4．A 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了唐闻生的故事，讲述了她从面对为圭亚那总理做翻译这一挑战时通过阅读学习克服恐慌，到平时通过阅读英文侦探小说保持语言能力，再到后来在《中国日报》工作以及多年后对阅读的感悟等一系列经历。 1．推理判断题。根据文章第一段“But just a few hours before, Tang knew nothing about him or his country.(但就在几个小时前，她对这位总理和他的国家还一无所知。)”以及第二段“She almost panicked. (她几乎要慌了神。)”可知，唐闻生在得知伯纳姆总理即将到访时，由于对这位总理和他的国家一无所知，几乎陷入恐慌。这表明她最初的反应是担心自己缺乏相关知识。故选D。 2．细节理解题。根据文章第三段“To stay sharp when she wasn’t working on important jobs, Tang found a creative way to practice— reading English detective stories. These interesting stories helped her keep her language skills strong and her vocabulary wide.(在没有重要工作时，为了保持状态，唐闻生找到了一个巧妙的练习方式：读英文侦探小说。这些有趣的故事帮她巩固了语言技能，拓展了词汇量。)”可知，侦探小说帮助唐闻生保持了扎实的语言技能，拓展了词汇量。故选D。 3．推理判断题。根据文章第二段“She almost panicked. Then, she thought of her favorite way to learn: from books. She hurried to the library, looking for answers. Two books became her helpers — one about the history of Guyana, and one about Prime Minister Burnham. Hours passed quickly as she read about new places and people. When she walked into the meeting, she felt much more confident.(她几乎要慌了神，随即想到了自己最爱的学习方式：从书中寻找答案。她匆匆赶到图书馆，两本书成了她的帮手——一本关于圭亚那历史，另一本是伯纳姆总理的传记。她沉浸在陌生的地域与人物故事中，时间飞逝。走进会场时，她的底气足了许多。)”可知，面对对圭亚那总理及该国一无所知的紧急情况，她立刻通过阅读书籍快速补充知识，从恐慌转为自信，体现了高效的学习能力和应对挑战的积极性。再根据最后一段“Now, when AI is becoming so important, Tang still believes in reading. “If we don’ t keep reading and learning,” she said, “we might get left behind as the world changes.” Reading, she proved, is more than just preparation; it’s a map that helps us find our way through life. (如今，在人工智能日益重要的时代，唐闻生依然坚信阅读的价值。“如果我们不坚持阅读和学习，”她说，“就可能在世界的变革中落后。”她用亲身经历证明：阅读远不止是一种准备，更是指引我们穿越人生的地图。)”可知，长期以来，阅读成为她应对工作需求，且她始终坚信阅读的价值，即使在AI时代仍坚持学习，体现了对自我提升的坚持。故选C。 4．主旨大意题。根据文章内容可知，文章核心围绕唐闻生通过阅读获取知识，从而应对工作挑战、提升职业能力展开：面对对圭亚那及总理的未知，她通过书籍快速学习，将危机转化为机会；阅读英文侦探小说保持语言技能，为职业发展奠定基础；她坚信阅读能让人持续学习，避免在时代变革中落后。这些都体现了活到老学到老的主题。故选A。 主题01 人与社会——文学艺术与体育 Passage 1 （24-25学年高二下四川省成都市蓉城名校联盟·期末） Mike Mushaw joined the national bone marrow registry (骨髓登记) three years ago by chance. Six months later, he got a call. The 21-year-old football player's bone marrow matched a patient in Virginia. Mushaw gave a second thought to the donation, because apart from some risks, he never knew whether his donation worked. “Finally I said yes,” Mushaw told the journalist. “Once they took my blood, I thought, ‘All right, this is real. This is going to happen.’” Mushaw didn't know it at the time, but his donation would go to a five-month-old girl named Eleanor who was sick with a rare disease diagnosed when she was only three months old. Days and weeks passing, her condition had become more dire. “Eleanor was going to die without a bone marrow transplant,” her mother, Jessica, said. “The choices were to either get a transplant or die early. Luckily, Mushaw’s bone cured her.” Mushaw didn't know any of this until months after his donation. About six months after the procedure, Eleanor's parents sent him an e-mail to thank him for his selfless love. Their surprising connection was beginning. Mushaw kept checking on her progress. Eleanor focused her attention on him, too, by watching his football games on TV. In August, Mushaw invited her family to drive from Virginia to Connecticut to meet at one of his games. They had a good time together. In January, Mushaw reunited with Eleanor, this time in Virginia, to celebrate her birthday. It will likely be first of many celebrations together. “As a parent, it feels really great to watch someone love your kid as much as you do,” Jessica says. “We were two complete strangers, and now we've become such a big part of each other's lives.” 1．Why did Mushaw hesitate at first? A．He was a football player. B．He would face some danger. C．He knew it wouldn't work at all. D．He didn't know whether his risks were worthy. 2．What does the underlined word “dire” in paragraph 3 mean? A．Serious. B．Complicated. C．Relieved. D．Hopeful. 3．Which of the following best describes Mushaw? A．Kind but hesitant. B．Active and confident. C．Worried but energetic. D．Selfless and considerate. 4．What can we learn through Mushaw's story? A．Why health matters. B．Never make excuses. C．How to be a good person. D．Love brings people together. 【答案】1．D 2．A 3．D 4．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了Mike Mushaw的骨髓与一位患有一种罕见免疫缺陷疾病且只有五个月大的小女孩配对成功。他不仅救了这个小女孩，并与小女孩的一家建立了深厚的友谊。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句“Mushaw gave a second thought to the donation, because apart from some risks, he never knew whether his donation worked.（Mushaw重新考虑了捐赠，因为除了一些风险，他从不知道他的捐赠是否有效。）”可知，起初Mushaw怀疑他的捐赠是否有效。故选D项。 2．词义猜测题。根据第三段第一句“Mushaw didn't know it at the time, but his donation would go to a five-month-old girl named Eleanor who was sick with a rare disease diagnosed when she was only three months old. （Mushaw当时并不知道，他的捐款将捐给一个名Eleanor的5个月大的女孩。埃莉诺在3个月大时就被诊断出患有一种罕见的疾病。）”以及第四段第一句““Eleanor was going to die without a bone marrow transplant,” her mother, Jessica, said.（如果不进行骨髓移植，Eleanor就会死去，”她的母亲Jessica说。）”可知，三个月大的Eleanor病情日益加重，得不到救治就会死去，因此可以推断出dire与A项的serious意思相同，意为“严重的”。故选A项。 3．推理判断题。根据第五段内容“Mushaw didn't know any of this until months after his donation. About six months after the procedure, Eleanor's parents sent him an e-mail to thank him for his selfless love.（Mushaw捐款几个月后才知道这些。手术后大约六个月，Eleanor的父母给他发了一封电子邮件，感谢他无私的爱。）”以及最后一段第一句内容“In January, Mushaw reunited with Eleanor, this time in Virginia, to celebrate her birthday. （1月，Mushaw和Eleanor团聚，这次是在弗吉尼亚，庆祝她的生日。）”可知，Mushaw的捐赠以及为被捐助者庆祝生日，都可以体现出Mushaw的无私和体贴。故选D项。 4．推理判断题。根据最后一段最后两句““As a parent, it feels really great to watch someone love your kid as much as you do,” Jessica says. “We were two complete strangers, and now we've become such a big part of each other's lives.”（Jessica说：“作为一名家长，看到有人像自己一样爱自己的孩子，感觉真的很棒。”“我们曾经是完全陌生的两个人，现在我们已经成为彼此生活中如此重要的一部分。”）”以及结合全文内容可推知，我们能从Mushaw的故事中学到爱可以使人们紧紧地团结在一起。故选D项。 Passage 2 （24-25学年高二下四川省阿坝藏族羌族自治州·期末） Shane Gross is from Saskatchewan, Canada, a province far away from the sea, so his first underwater experiences were in a cold, green lake with a disposable film camera. Despite this, he’s always been fascinated by the ocean, especially sharks, and watched Jaws countless times. After backpacking through Australia in 2009 and diving along the way, he decided to pursue his passion seriously. In 2011, he moved to the Bahamas to work as a dive instructor, which allowed him to spend more time in the water and improve his photography skills. In 2017, while diving at one of their regular spots, “Sea Garden”, Gross and his girlfriend encountered a turtle (海龟). They were deeply upset at the terrible scene—the turtle was trapped, struggling, and ultimately dying. Realizing there was nothing they could do to save it, Gross removed the abandoned fishing line wrapped around the turtle and documented the moment. His photograph later won first place in the conservation category of the 2019 International Ocean Art Underwater Photo Competition, bringing attention to the problem of sea waste that often goes unseen. When asked about his approach to creating remarkable underwater photography, Shane Gross advises underwater photographers to go beyond just one image. He encourages them to document the entire scene they’re passionate about, even if it means taking some shots above the water. Once you have a story to tell, create a shot list and keep shooting until you have recorded it fully. For Shane, spending time in the ocean is deeply fulfilling. “I live a marine (海洋的) lifestyle,” he says. “But most people don’t share this connection.” To bridge this gap, he created Bahamas Underwater, a book combining stories and vivid imagery to introduce people to marine ecosystems and their wonders. Shane recommends that taking time to admire the breathtaking views of the ocean should be the initial step toward creating meaningful change — a shift from indifference to active care. 1．What can we learn about Shane Gross from paragraph 1? A．He grew up in the coastal area. B．He longed to be a dive instructor. C．He followed his childhood passion. D．He did academic research on sharks. 2．Why did Shane take a photo of the sea turtle? A．To criticize overfishing. B．To protect natural habitats. C．To save the injured animal. D．To highlight marine pollution. 3．What is the key to good underwater photography according to paragraph 3? A．A large image. B．A unique scene. C．A complete story. D．A strong motivation. 4．What does Shane suggest as the first step toward caring for the ocean? A．Promoting green lifestyles. B．Appreciating ocean’s beauty. C．Sharing marine knowledge. D．Documenting nature’s wonders. 【答案】1．C 2．D 3．C 4．B 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了Shane Gross的海洋摄影历程。他从小对海洋充满热爱，长大后成为一名水下摄影师，致力于推动海洋保护事业的发展。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段“Despite this, he’s always been fascinated by the ocean, especially sharks, and watched Jaws countless times. After backpacking through Australia in 2009 and diving along the way, he decided to pursue his passion seriously.(尽管如此，他一直对海洋，尤其是鲨鱼着迷，看了无数次《大白鲨》。2009年，他在澳大利亚背包旅行，沿途潜水，之后他决定认真追求自己的激情。)”可知，他从小热爱海洋，长大后也在继续追寻这份热爱，故选C。 2．推理判断题。根据第二段“His photograph later won first place in the conservation category of the 2019 International Ocean Art Underwater Photo Competition, bringing attention to the problem of sea waste that often goes unseen.(他的照片后来在2019年国际海洋艺术水下摄影比赛中获得了保护类第一名，引起了人们对经常被忽视的海洋废物问题的关注。)”可知，Shane拍海龟的照片是为了突出海洋污染问题。故选D。 3．细节理解题。根据第三段“Once you have a story to tell, create a shot list and keep shooting until you have recorded it fully.(一旦你有一个故事要讲，创建一个镜头列表，并继续拍摄，直到你把它记录完整。)”可知，水下摄影成功的关键在于有一个完整的故事，故选C。 4．细节理解题。从最后一段“Shane recommends that taking the time to admire the breathtaking views of the ocean should be the initial step toward creating meaningful change — a shift from indifference to active care.(Shane建议，花时间欣赏海洋的壮丽景色应该是创造有意义的改变的第一步——从冷漠到积极关怀的转变。)”可知，Shane认为激发人们保护海洋意识的第一步是欣赏海洋之美，故选B。 主题02 人与自我——生活与学习 Passage 1 （24-25学年高二下四川省南充市·期末） My average screen time was eight hours and 44 minutes per day — more time than I spent sleeping. This made me fit into the category of being “constantly online”, defined as someone whose entire life depends on the Internet. So I decided to change my lifestyle and use a dumbphone, designed with minimal features, primarily for basic communication such as calls, text messages and limited or no Internet access. The first two days of my experiment started on a weekend. I experienced deep anxiety: I thought I was missing out on an event. As a result, I started calling my friends and family just to make sure that I wasn’t. I asked Lindsay Bira, a clinical health psychologist, why my decision to downgrade initially made me more anxious. “Being alone or disconnected from what’s going on can be read by the deep brain as a survival threat when it really isn’t a threat,” Bira said. “It is important to learn how to tolerate the feeling of being disconnected or left out until our brain understands that it is not a problem, which allows us to self-control without reaching for the phone, and we develop a deeper, healthier connection to ourselves.” I started calling friends to hang out, rediscovering the lost art of phone conversations. It reduces miscommunication compared to texting and makes me a better listener, helping me feel more connected. After the week, I broke the habit of automatically checking my phone for information. Instead of going through social media at work, I started getting news from other sources. 1．Why did the author switch to a dumbphone? A．To reduce her phone usage. B．To break her Internet dependency. C．To follow a trendy lifestyle. D．To improve her work productivity. 2．What was a problem the author faced at the beginning of her experiment? A．Her friends usually disturbed her. B．Her parents showed their worries. C．She began forgetting things. D．She felt deeply anxious. 3．What is Bira’s suggestion for feeling disconnected? A．Remove the survival threat. B．Distract attention from technology. C．Accept the feeling until the brain adjusts. D．Avoid situations that can cause anxiety. 4．What is a suitable title for the text? A．Abandoning smartphones for a tech-free lifestyle B．Reconnecting with nature and the self C．Creating space for family relationships D．Disconnecting for inner peace and connection 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．C 4．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述作者因平均每天屏幕使用时间过长，几乎依赖网络生活，决定改用功能简单的傻瓜机，在这个过程中经历了初期的焦虑，通过与专家交流及自身尝试，逐渐打破对手机的依赖，在减少与网络连接的同时收获内心平静与和他人更紧密的联系。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段中的“This made me fit into the category of being “constantly online”, defined as someone whose entire life depends on the Internet. So I decided to change my lifestyle and use a dumbphone(这使我属于“持续在线”的类别，即整个生活都依赖互联网的人。所以我决定改变生活方式，使用一部傻瓜机)”可知，作者改用傻瓜机是为了打破对网络的依赖。故选B项。 2．细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The first two days of my experiment started on a weekend. I experienced deep anxiety(我的实验最初两天是在周末开始的。我经历了深深的焦虑)”可知，作者在实验开始时面临的问题是感到深深的焦虑。故选D项。 3．细节理解题。根据第三段中Bira所说的话“It is important to learn how to tolerate the feeling of being disconnected or left out until our brain understands that it is not a problem(重要的是学会如何忍受与外界脱节或被冷落的感觉，直到我们的大脑明白这不是问题)”可知，Bira对于感到与外界脱节的建议是接受这种感觉，直到大脑适应调整。故选C项。 4．主旨大意题。主要讲述作者因平均每天屏幕使用时间过长，几乎依赖网络生活，决定改用功能简单的傻瓜机，在这个过程中经历了初期的焦虑，通过与专家交流及自身尝试，逐渐打破对手机的依赖，在减少与网络连接的同时收获内心平静与和他人更紧密的联系。D选项“Disconnecting for inner peace and connection (为了内心平静与联系而减少连接)”准确概括文章主旨。故选D项。 Passage 2 （24-25学年高二下四川省泸州市·期末） This weekend, I sowed the first seeds of the season—five varieties of tomato. I’m not one for sowing seeds early, but tomatoes need every day of the growing season to offer up the best possible harvest. Gardeners and growers are well versed (精通的) in the nature of change. However, despite what plants have taught me about living and working with forces beyond my control, I frequently experience climate anxiety. All it takes is a few days of unexpectedly changeable weather for panic to rise up in my throat. Yet, it is through working with plants that I’ve found a way of dealing with this particular anxiety—to pay even more attention to the wonder of the natural world instead of choosing to turn away. And right now, as winter gives way to spring, is the ideal time to start a practice of noticing. On the days I spend with my crops, I resist the urge to dive straight into all there is to do; instead, I first stop to observe what’s new and what’s changed. I’m hungrily searching for green shoots and swelling buds (花蕾). I’m drinking in all the signs of new life that remind me that spring has always come and will in all likelihood be beautiful. When anxious headlines make me feel powerless and want to disengage, I develop my sense of essential connection with the natural world. This simply feels more possible in spring. Despite the very real challenges and dangers we face in this time of climate crisis, the natural world insists on showing us what flexibility and optimism look like and it’s our responsibility to take note and follow suit. As I write these words, I have a blanket on my knees and the window open to allow a silver of the cool breeze to blow in. The world feels fresh and lively and is full of new energy. I trust that the plants I grow this season will thrive. And I know that spring, hopefully one that’s overflowing with blossom, is already on its way. 1．Why did the author begin to plant tomatoes this weekend? A．To ensure sufficient growth time. B．To promote early planting techniques. C．To avoid unpredictable spring weather. D．To experiment with new seed varieties. 2．What is the purpose of the second paragraph? A．To define gardeners and growers. B．To share a way to deal with climate anxiety. C．To criticize those ignoring environmental problems. D．To argue for gardening as the best nature connection. 3．What does the author focus on when working in the garden? A．New changes in plants. B．The harvest of crops. C．The beautiful surroundings. D．Daily weather situations. 4．Which words best describe the author? A．Concerned and anxious. B．Observant and positive. C．Considerate but overconfident. D．Patient but impractical. 【答案】1．A 2．B 3．A 4．B 【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者通过自己种植西红柿的经历，讲述了在面对气候焦虑时，从与植物打交道的过程中找到了应对方法，即更加关注自然界的奇妙之处，感受春天的生机与活力，从而获得力量和希望。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段“I’m not one for sowing seeds early, but tomatoes need every day of the growing season to offer up the best possible harvest.(我不是那种喜欢早早播种的人，但西红柿需要生长季节的每一天才能实现尽可能好的收成)”可知，作者这个周末开始种西红柿是为了确保它们有足够的生长时间来获得好收成。故选A。 2．推理判断题。根据第二段“However, despite what plants have taught me about living and working with forces beyond my control, I frequently experience climate anxiety.(然而，尽管植物教会了我如何在我无法控制的力量下生活和工作，但我还是经常感到气候焦虑)”及“Yet, it is through working with plants that I’ve found a way of dealing with this particular anxiety—to pay even more attention to the wonder of the natural world instead of choosing to turn away.(然而，正是通过与植物打交道，我找到了一种应对这种特殊焦虑的方法——更加关注自然界的奇妙之处，而不是选择逃避)”可知，第二段的目的是分享一种应对气候焦虑的方法。故选B。 3．细节理解题。根据第三段“On the days I spend with my crops, I resist the urge to dive straight into all there is to do; instead, I first stop to observe what’s new and what’s changed. I’m hungrily searching for green shoots and swelling buds(花蕾).(在我和我的作物相处的日子里，我克制住直接投入到所有要做的事情中的冲动；相反，我首先停下来观察有什么新的变化。我急切地寻找着绿芽和正在膨胀的花蕾)”可知，作者在花园劳作时关注的是植物的新变化。故选A。 4．推理判断题。根据第三段“On the days I spend with my crops, I resist the urge to dive straight into all there is to do; instead, I first stop to observe what’s new and what’s changed. I’m hungrily searching for green shoots and swelling buds (花蕾).(在我和庄稼相处的日子里，我克制住直接投入到所有要做的事情中的冲动；相反，我首先停下来观察有什么新的变化。我如饥似渴地寻找着绿芽和肿胀的花蕾)”可知，作者在花园中劳作时，会特意观察植物的新变化，体现出作者善于观察的特点。根据最后一段“I trust that the plants I grow this season will thrive. And I know that spring, hopefully one that’s overflowing with blossom, is already on its way.(我相信我这个季节种的植物会茁壮成长。我知道春天，充满希望的繁花似锦的春天，已经在路上了)”可以看出，作者感受到世界的美好与活力，相信植物会茁壮成长，春天即将到来，展现出积极乐观的心态。故选B。 主题 03 人与社会 —— 社会服务与人际沟通 Passage 1 （24-25学年高二下四川省眉山市·期末） When Michael Platt learned he had epilepsy (癫痫), he had to give up many activities he loved. However, he has since become a person of many talents, excelling as a businessman, activist for justice, and baker. In 2017, Michael Platt established Michaels Desserts, a company that gives a cupcake to the homeless for every dessert it sells. As its business develops and partnerships with charities grow, his company has gained some fame in the local food and charity field. He has helped thousands of people and remains a vocal supporter of addressing food insecurity. “I know that a cupcake won’t end hunger but a tasty treat, when times are tough, can make life sweeter,” he wrote on the company’s website. Inspired by Martin Luther King Jr. , the African-American boy has put a lot of effort into addressing inequality, especially income inequality and child hunger, and has always wanted to promote justice. To show respect to heroes and freedom fighters, he published a book titled Recipes for Change, which shares 12 important events along with a recipe inspired by each. For example, in the book, there is a Juneteenth’s (六月节的) red ice pops recipe. The main ingredients are watermelon and strawberry because, for Juneteenth, a holiday celebrating the end of slavery, foods are traditionally red. Featuring mouthwatering recipes accompanied by biographies of important figures, Recipes for Change inspires people with real stories of pioneers who helped to change the world. When Platt was little, his grandmother taught him to cook and bake. Helping and sharing are important values in his family. Platt said that his grandparents used to have a big garden, filled with various vegetables and flowers. “They always said, ‘You never know who’s gonna need something.’ Inspiring a lot of people is definitely what I’m really, really proud of”. 1．What does the underlined word “excelling” in paragraph l probably mean?

(当Michael Platt得知自己患有癫痫时，他不得不放弃许多他喜欢的活动。然而，他后来成为了一个多才多艺的人，作为一名商人、正义活动家和面包师，他都表现excelling)”可知，迈克尔·普拉特虽然患上癫痫，但他很有才华，在多个领域取得了成功，所以“excelling”意思是“成功”。故选A。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段“In 2017, Michael Platt established Michaels Desserts, a company that gives a cupcake to the homeless for every dessert it sells. (2017年，迈克尔·普拉特创立了迈克尔甜点公司，该公司每卖出一份甜点，就会给无家可归的人一个纸杯蛋糕)”可知，迈克尔·普拉特每卖出一份甜点，就给无家可归者一份甜点。故选D。 2．推理判断题。根据第三段中“Inspired by Martin Luther King Jr. , the African-American boy has put a lot of effort into addressing inequality, especially income inequality and child hunger, and has always wanted to promote justice. (受马丁·路德·金的启发，这位非裔美国男孩在解决不平等问题上投入了大量精力，特别是收入不平等和儿童饥饿问题，并且一直想要促进公平正义)”可知，迈克尔·普拉特对打击不平等现象充满热情。故选C。 3．推理判断题。根据第四段中“Featuring mouthwatering recipes accompanied by biographies of important figures, Recipes for Change inspires people with real stories of pioneers who helped to change the world. (以令人垂涎的食谱和对重要人物的传记为特色，《变革食谱》用那些帮助改变世界的先驱者的真实故事激励人们)”可知，《变革食谱》这本书将食谱与鼓舞人心的故事结合在一起。故选D。 Passage 2 （24-25学年高二下四川省眉山市·期末） By 2015, the priest Joyner of Conetoe came to understand he was hosting funerals (葬礼) twice a month — a surprising number for his town’s tiny population. In this African American town, a quarter of families live an extremely poor life and heart disease kills more 20 to 39-year olds than car accidents do. Joyner decided to do something about it. Driving home one day, he pulled over and thought that maybe he’d get further with his eyes open. He looked around, and all he saw was farmland. It gave him an idea: Get the kids to take part in it. Joyner ran a youth camp, so that summer, he showed the campers how to grow their own food on the small land. The kids, 4 to 16 years old, ate up the vegetables they had grown, and the following year, they gave free boxes of vegetables to the old people in the town. Not everyone welcomed the idea. Some church elders questioned whether it was wise to let kids take part in agrarian pursuit (农业工作). But Joyner saw it differently. “The kids are bringing food to people who need it. They enjoy what they’re doing,” he said. At the same time, it improved the health of the community by providing healthy foods. Today, because of Joyner, that small land has changed into the 21-acre Conetoe Family Life Center. The local hospital, schools and restaurants help the center by buying its salad greens, peppers, strawberries, and other food for people. Research from East Carolina University found that people in Conetoe have lost weight, lowered their blood pressure, and visited the hospital less frequently because of the fresh food and health advice available at the center. 1．What do we know about the town where Joyner lives? A．It develops very slowly. B．There are not enough churches. C．People are too poor to live a healthy life. D．Many young people die from accidents. 2．Why did Joyner decide to grow food on the small land? A．To provide food for kids. B．To lower the number of deaths. C．To teach kids how to plant. D．To make full use of the small land. 3．What did some church elders think of Joyner’s idea? A．They weren’t interested in it. B．They were doubtful about it. C．They strongly disagreed with it. D．They thought it did harm to kids. 4．Which of the following would be the most suitable title for the passage? A．Joyner’s Agricultural Solution for Community Health B．A Small Town’s Battle Against Poverty and Accidents C．Kids in Farming: Challenges and Triumphs in a Poor Town D．The Transformation of a Farmland into a Life - Changing Center 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．B 4．A 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。在贫困的Conetoe镇，居民健康状况差，死亡率高。牧师Joyner (乔伊纳)让孩子种植食物，虽遭质疑，但最终改善社区健康，土地变为生活中心 。 【详解】45．推理判断题。根据第一段第二、三句“In this African American town, a quarter of families live an extremely poor life and heart disease kills more 20 to 39-year olds than car accidents do.(在这个非裔美国人的小镇上，四分之一的家庭生活极其贫困，因心脏病死亡的 20 至 39 岁的年轻人比死于车祸的还要多。)”可知，这个小镇上很多家庭贫困，并且由于贫困可能无法过上健康的生活，导致心脏病死亡人数较多。故选C项。 1．推理判断题。根据第一段“By 2015, the priest Joyner of Conetoe came to understand he was hosting funerals (葬礼) twice a month — a surprising number for his town’s tiny population. In this African American town, a quarter of families live an extremely poor life and heart disease kills more 20 to 39-year olds than car accidents do.(到 2015 年，科内托的牧师乔伊纳逐渐意识到，他每个月要主持两次葬礼——对于他所在小镇的少量人口来说，这是一个惊人的数字。在这个非裔美国人的小镇上，四分之一的家庭生活极其贫困，因心脏病死亡的20至39岁的年轻人比死于车祸的还要多。)”以及第二段“Joyner decided to do something about it.(乔伊纳决定为此做点什么。)”可知，乔伊纳看到小镇上死亡人数较多，决定采取行动，之后他让孩子们在小块土地上种植食物。由此可以推断出他决定在小块土地上种植食物是为了降低死亡人数，改善人们的健康状况。故选B项。 2．推理判断题。根据第四段第二句“Some church elders questioned whether it was wise to let kids take part in agrarian pursuit (农业工作).(一些教会长老质疑让孩子们参与农业工作是否明智。)”可知，“questioned(质疑)”表明一些教会长老对乔伊纳让孩子们参与农业工作的想法是持怀疑态度的。故选B项。 3．主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章主要讲述了牧师乔伊纳所在的小镇贫困且居民健康状况不佳，死亡率较高，他通过让孩子们参与种植食物，改善了社区的健康状况，最后那块小土地变成了一个大型的生活中心，给社区带来了积极的变化。所以A选项Joyner’s Agricultural Solution for Community Health(乔伊纳为社区健康提供的农业解决方案) 能够概括文章的主要内容，即乔伊纳通过农业种植的方式来改善社区居民的健康状况。故选A项。 Passage 3 （24-25学年高二下四川省成都市蓉城名校联考·期末） Nima Rinji Sherpa has become the youngest climber to reach the top of the world’s 14 highest mountains, known as the “8,000ers”. The 18-year-old from Nepal completed his goal on October 9th, 2024 by climbing the 8,027-meter Mount Shishapangma in Xizang, China. Climbing all 14 is such a difficult and dangerous challenge that only a handful of people have managed to complete it. Nima is a Sherpa (夏尔巴人). Sherpas are a group of people mostly from Nepal who are famous for their exceptional climbing skills. They help make climbing possible. They guide climbers, carry heavy loads, and set up safety equipment. Foreign climbers often get most of the attention for completing the climbs while Sherpas do much of the hard work in the same dangerous conditions. Nima is hoping to bring some of that attention back to Sherpas. Nima comes from a family of climbers. His father is a famous climber, and his uncles were the first brothers to both climb all of the 8,000ers. However, Nima didn’t start climbing seriously until he was 16 years old. He climbed his first 8,000er, Mount Manaslu, in August of 2022 and climbed Mount Qomolangma, the world’s tallest mountain, earlier in 2024. Nima chose to leave Mount Shishapangma as his last 8,000er. He had planned to climb it last year. But an avalanche (雪崩) at the time killed four people, including his friend and teacher. Nima delayed his plan and joined the rescue team to save other climbers. Nima describes climbing as a tough sport, saying, “It’s about who can suffer the most when times are the worst.” He hopes his success will make people more aware that Sherpas are as skilled as climbers from any other country and how important Sherpas are to climbing. “My dream is very simple,” Nima said. “It’s just to be one of the best athletes in mountaineering.” 1．What’s paragraph 2 mainly about? A．The climbing skills of Sherpas. B．The achievements of Sherpas in climbing. C．The significant role Sherpas play in climbing. D．The relationship between foreign climbers and Sherpas. 2．What can be inferred about Nima from paragraph 3? A．He started climbing when he was 16. B．He got seriously injured in an avalanche. C．He climbed Mount Shishapangma as he had planned. D．He valued other people’s lives more than his own dream. 3．What does Nima hope to achieve through his success? A．To win world-wide fame. B．To honor his friend and teacher. C．To live up to his parents’ expectations. D．To highlight Sherpas’ contributions to climbing. 4．Which of the following words can best describe Nima? A．Ambitious and brave. B．Talented and outgoing. C．Considerate and honest. D．Passionate and serious. 【答案】1．C 2．D 3．D 4．A 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了最年轻的攀登者尼玛·仁吉·夏尔巴登上了世界14座最高山峰，并希望通过自己的成功来突出夏尔巴人对登山的贡献。 1．主旨大意题。根据第二段“Sherpas are a group of people mostly from Nepal who are famous for their exceptional climbing skills. They help make climbing possible. They guide climbers, carry heavy loads, and set up safety equipment. Foreign climbers often get most of the attention for completing the climbs while Sherpas do much of the hard work in the same dangerous conditions. (夏尔巴人是一群主要来自尼泊尔的人，他们以卓越的登山技能而闻名。他们让登山成为可能。他们为登山者提供指导，搬运重物，并安装安全设备。外国登山者完成攀登后往往受到大部分关注，而夏尔巴人在同样危险的环境中做了大量艰苦的工作。)”可知，本段主要介绍了夏尔巴人在登山运动中的关键作用。故选C。 2．推理判断题。根据第三段“He had planned to climb it last year. But an avalanche (雪崩) at the time killed four people, including his friend and teacher. Nima delayed his plan and joined the rescue team to save other climbers. (他原计划去年攀登。但当时的一场雪崩造成四人死亡，其中包括他的朋友和老师。尼玛推迟了他的计划，加入了救援队去营救其他登山者。)”可知，尼玛原计划去年完成攀登Shishapangma峰，但因雪崩导致四人死亡（包括他的朋友和老师），他选择推迟登山并参与救援。这一行为表明他在关键时刻更看重他人的生命，而不是自己的梦想。故选D。 3．细节理解题。根据最后一段“He hopes his success will make people more aware that Sherpas are as skilled as climbers from any other country and how important Sherpas are to climbing. (他希望自己的成功能让人们更加意识到，夏尔巴人的登山技能与其他任何国家的登山者一样出色，以及夏尔巴人对登山的重要性。)”可知，尼玛希望通过自己的成功让更多人意识到夏尔巴人的技能及其对登山运动的重要性。故选D。 4．推理判断题。根据第一段“Nima Rinji Sherpa has become the youngest climber to reach the top of the world’s 14 highest mountains, known as the ‘8,000ers’. (尼玛·仁吉·夏尔巴已成为登上世界14座最高山峰（被称为“8000米级山峰”）的最年轻登山者)”以及第三段“He had planned to climb it last year. But an avalanche (雪崩) at the time killed four people, including his friend and teacher. Nima delayed his plan and joined the rescue team to save other climbers. (他原计划去年攀登。但当时的一场雪崩造成四人死亡，其中包括他的朋友和老师。尼玛推迟了他的计划，加入了救援队去营救其他登山者。)”可知，尼玛不仅有着攀登高峰的雄心壮志，而且在面对危险时能够勇敢地推迟自己的计划，选择去营救他人，这表明他既雄心勃勃又勇敢。故选A。 / 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——文学艺术与体育 Passage 1 （24-25学年高二下 四川省眉山市东坡区眉山北外附属东坡外国语学校·期末） “Twinkle, twinkle, little star, how I wonder what you are …” The sweet sound of the well-known childhood song came out of the village office in Gaozhuang in Zhongwei, Ningxia Hui autonomous region. Inside, a small group of children were learning to play the guitar with Song Hao, deputy curator(副馆长) of Zhongwei Museum. Song is 48 years and was born into an artistic family. He received strict musical training as a child and was quite good at playing the guitar and composing music. He had a wish to do what he could with his own music to make the world a brighter place for the children. In June last year, he found an opportunity to turn that wish into reality. He was chosen to take part in rural vitalization(振兴) work in Gaozhuang for two years, and in his spare time, he started teaching village children to play the guitar. “There’s something really magical about music,” he said, remembering that when he played for the children, many had twinkles in their eyes. Song asked them if they wanted to learn to play, and they all said “Yes”, so he started a free class to teach them on weekends and during the summer and winter holidays. He paid for 20 guitars and music textbooks from his own pocket and began to teach them the basics, like how to pluck(弹拨) the strings and read music. The children loved the classes so much that they would arrive at the village office early to wait for Song. Over the past six months, a number of children have learned to play entire pieces, and Song said that he could feel the happiness and confidence that learning to play music had brought to them. Shen Mingyi, Shen Huihong’s father, spoke highly of Song and his guitar class, saying that his daughter had become more extroverted as a result. 1．What did Song Hao do during his spare time in Gaozhuang? A．He held concerts in the village. B．He went sightseeing with village school. C．He helped to build the village school. D．He taught village children to play the guitar. 2．What made the children go to the guitar classes early? A．The school rules. B．The teacher’s plan. C．Their love for the classes. D．Their parents’ requirements. 3．What does the underlined word “extroverted” mean in the last paragraph? A．Polite. B．Outgoing. C．Anxious.

Passage 2 （24-25学年高二下四川省绵阳外国语学校·期末） “I was wondering if Patrick would sing The Power of Love during the service on Thanks-giving Day,” the community youth director asked in a message left on our answering machine. My wife Catherine and I struggled to contain our excitement about our five-year-old son’s first solo(独唱). Catherine carefully explained the possibility, reminding Patrick how beautifully he sang, telling him how much fun it would be. Patrick himself seemed less convinced. “You know, Mom,” he said, “sometimes when I have to do something important, I get kind of scared.” Grown-ups feel that way, too, we told him, but the decision was left to him. He took only a few minutes. “Okay,” Patrick said. “I’ll do it.” From the time he was a baby, Patrick has enjoyed an unusual passion for music. By age four, he could pound out several bars of Wagner’s Ride of the Valkyries on the piano. Still, I could hardly imagine myself, at age five, singing into a microphone before hundreds of people. When Thanks-giving Day arrived, my expectations were limited. Catherine, our daughter Melanie and I sat in darkness as a spotlight found my son, standing alone at the microphone. He was dressed in white, with a pair of angel wings. Slowly, confidently, Patrick hit every note. As his voice washed over the people, he seemed a true angel. There was eternity(永恒)in Patrick’s voice that night, a beauty rich enough to bring heavy tears to my eyes. His song was soon over, and at my side, Catherine brushed away tears and Melanie sobbed, too. Outside, I received congratulations from fellow community members. I found my son who looked at me with curiosity. “You’re crying? Why, Dad?” “I have to cry, for nothing else but your singing.” Patrick smiled proudly and flew into my arms. “I don’t understand,” my son said into my shoulder, “But maybe you do have your reason to cry.” 1．What did the community youth director intend to do in the message? A．Invite Patrick to perform. B．Admire Patrick’s singing skills. C．Enquire about a singing event. D．Decline Patrick’s participation. 2．How did Patrick react to the news initially? A．He was over-excited. B．He was less confident. C．He showed no interest. D．He rejected the offer directly. 3．What does the father mean at last? A．Every cloud has a silver lining. B．The early bird catches the worm. C．Actions speak louder than words. D．True beauty lies in overcoming one’s fears. 4．What is the text mainly about? A．A celebration for Thanks-giving Day. B．A family’s selfless service at the community. C．A young boy’s extraordinary talent for music. D．A father’s experience of his son’s performance. 主题02 人与自我——生活与学习 Passage 1 （24-25学年高二下四川省甘孜藏族自治州·期末） My family had a room that we called the Library, but even back then I knew it was just our dining room with a few bookshelves around a small table. When I was a kid, I was told that all these books are precious things— they must never be folded, bent, or broken. Any dirty marks or notes on a book are banned and our reading should always be a clean activity since it’s what separates us from the beasts. Preservation of all texts was the most important thing in the world. Years later, when I began reading everything I could in my early teens, I tiptoed into the Library one day and discovered, to my horror, that all the books were still extremely new. It was row after row, shelf after shelf. Something clicked and I knew I had found a horrible secret about my family: they had bought these books to be displayed like jewellery, rather than to be read. In that moment I knew that all those silly rules around reading and books were dead wrong and that there was nothing sadder in this world than an unused book— clean, without any trace of the reader at all. Now here’s the secret: good reading is messy reading. If I want the kind of novel that gets deep into my bones, the sort of non-fiction mystery that stays with me years after the fact, then I must bring sticky notes (便利贴) and let my books get scuffed (磨损) along the way. I should always walk away from a book with visible progress of my reading. After years of treating my books as if they ought to be preserved in a museum, I now believe that you should honour the books by breaking them. Read them all so messily! Truly read the books, anytime and anywhere, no matter how much we f old them, bend them, or tear them! Throw them into your backpack or leave them open by the side of your bed. Don’t worry about stains or torn edges after years of reading. That is what a book is. That is what a book is for. 1．Where did the author’s family store their books? A．In the study. B．In the dining room. C．In the bedroom. D．In the living room. 2．What does the author imply about his family’s book collection? A．It was piled in a mess. B．It was mainly for decoration. C．It was large and various. D．It was kept for a good price. 3．What does the underlined part “Something clicked” mean? A．I clicked the mouse. B．I suddenly felt puzzled. C．Something made a sound. D．Something occurred to me. 4．Which opinion may the author agree on? A．Good books are valuable jewelry. B．Books are the ladder of human progress. C．Read thousands of books regardless of their state. D．Protect books as they’ re the source of knowledge. Passage 2 （24-25学年高二下四川省雅安市·期末） When I got my first research project to work, I was so excited.Seeing research in action was enjoyable. My excitement, though, was soon cut short when my professor asked me to write a research paper on the project. My body tensed. Writing was the last thing I wanted to do; it’s one reason why I pursued science in the first place. I had hated writing since I was a little boy. But I couldn’t avoid it: writing classes were required in high school. For hours, I stared at blank pages, trying to turn my disorganised thoughts into fluent sentences. My teachers would return my papers littered with red, showing my paragraphs were out of order. I was frustrated to no end. How could I know what was good if there was no objectively right answer? Maybe I wasn’t cut out for writing. I studied engineering in college. A few years later, I joined a research lab. The professor assigned me an initial project to improve the efficiency of an inductor (电路感应器). I spent weeks setting up a test for a new design. When I got the results, though, the numbers weren’t good. I kept trying new designs, using the results to brainstorm ideas with a team of researchers. Finally, after dozens of designs, we had one that could work. I was overjoyed — until my professor told me to write that research paper. In panic, I asked a graduate student in my lab for help. I carefully wrote an outline. But when I asked him for feedback, I soon found the paper full of red marks. Before I could quit in defeat, though, the graduate student explained, “Red doesn’t mean you’re a bad writer. Writing isn’t a one-and-done thing. It requires revising your work, often several times.” Suddenly it occurred to me, “Hadn’t I done the same thing when I was designing my research project?” I kept improving my outline, eventually turning it into sentences and paragraphs, guided by feedback from others. Finally, I made it, and surprisingly, I was having fun. From then on, writing became one of my favourite parts of research, and it still is today. It’s a future I never could have imagined during my early struggles with writing classes.But I came around. 1．What was the author’s initial reaction when asked to write a research paper? A．He felt excited and motivated. B．He was nervous and reluctant. C．He decided to change his research topic. D．He immediately sought help from classmates. 2．What do we know about the author’s final research design from paragraph 3? A．It’s hard-earned. B．It’s well-known. C．It’s poorly-made. D．It’s independently-finished. 3．Which of the following word can replace the underlined phrase “cut out”? A．Grateful. B．Born. C．Responsible. D．Famous. 4．What did the author learn from the graduate student’s words? A．A good beginning is half done. B．Actions speak louder than words. C．A bad workman always blames his tools. D．Trial and error opens the door to progress. 主题 03 人与社会 —— 社会服务与人际沟通 Passage 1 （24-25学年高二下四川省广安市广安区·期末） Callie Clemens was close to falling asleep when an emergency message on the Facebook page she runs caught her eye. A tiny black dog had been seen crossing a road. Whimpers (呜咽声) had been heard from inside a nearby storm drain (下水道), so there was likely another dog — maybe more than one — caught there. Clemens got out of bed and drove to the scene. Once there, she took a flashlight, pulled a metal grate (格栅) off the drain and climbed down. After lowering herself down the drain, Clemens went through about 10 feet of a narrow tunnel (管道) before reaching an area where she could search. She pointed her flashlight at the dark place and saw two sets of eyes. Then the dogs ran off. Around midnight, volunteers arrived and joined Clemens. They worked until 3 a.m. trying to track the dogs. Although they were not able to find the two dogs that Clemens had seen, they did find a female black dog outside. There were at least two more caught below. Clemens was not about to give up. She went home for a few hours of sleep and then back to the scene, joined by several volunteers. They finally found a tiny white dog. That left one dog underground. Clemens climbed down the storm drain several more times. But the fact that she found an exit hole and had stopped hearing the dog’s whimpers made her confident that it had found its way out. This was not Clemens’s first time to get into a storm drain. Clemens is known in the Houston area for her rescue (营救) efforts. Over the past nine years, she’s saved at least 100 animals. Clemens’s act doesn’t surprise Tena Lundquist Faust, who runs another Houston animal rescue nonprofit. “Once she becomes focused on a rescue situation, she is unstoppable,” says Faust. “She is really a rock star.” 1．How did people know there was likely another dog caught in the storm drain? A．Its voice was heard by someone. B．It was seen crossing a road nearby. C．Clemens saw its eyes in the tunnel. D．Volunteers saw it in the storm drain. 2．What did Clemens do after seeing the emergency message? A．She called for volunteers. B．She drove to the scene. C．She posted a response online. D．She went back to sleep. 3．Which of the following can best describe Clemens? A．Wise. B．Confident. C．Graceful. D．Caring. 4．What is the main purpose of the text? A．To describe a rescue practice. B．To introduce animal behavior, C．To complain about poor drainage systems. D．To stress the teamwork in rescue. Passage 2 （24-25学年高二下四川省达州市·期末） As a middle school adviser, I know firsthand how unkind kids can be to each other — but today, I saw something that reminded me just how friendly they really are. It was “College Day” at our school, when students wear gear from colleges and universities, which were designed according to their height and weight. And we focus on the importance of pursuing education after high school. At lunch, we hosted a fun question-and-answer activity with buzzers (蜂鸣抢答器), prizes, and questions about education funds, on-the-job training programs, and post-secondary options. Six students came up at a time to play. During one round, two of the students who participated were from our specialized classroom. These students are amazing — strong-minded, determined, and full of heart. As the game began, I got ready to step in if they needed support or if they felt left out. The first question went to one of the general education students. Then, on the second question, Frank, one of our students from the specialized class, rang in first. Before I could even help, a few classmates quietly came up behind him and whispered the answer in his ear. He repeated it with excitement, and when I announced it was correct, the crowd erupted in cheers — louder than I’d heard all day. It happened again with the next question. This time, the crowd began cheering Frank’s name, and he lit up with pride. More students from the class were invited up to play, and the cheering only grew louder. The whole room was filled with delight — students supporting one another, showing joy, unity, and genuine kindness. We often talk about the challenges this generation faces, but I saw something powerful today. These kids are good. They’re tender-hearted. They lift each other up. And in that moment, they reminded me that the future is in very good hands. 1．What does the word “gear” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A．Caps. B．Glasses. C．watches. D．Uniforms. 2．What did the author do at the beginning of the game? A．He prepared to ring the buzzer first. B．He announced the answer instantly. C．He planned to assist students in need. D．He left students behind without hesitation. 3．What made Frank proud? A．His kindness to others. B．Peers’ praise and shouts. C．His confidence in himself. D．Peers’ support and cheers. 4．What message does the text convey about the kids? A．They are ambitious. B．They are stressful. C．They are hopeful. D．They are grateful. Passage 3 （24-25学年高二下四川省德阳市·期末） The room felt electric with excitement. Tang Wensheng, a young interpreter, was about to start a big career. The leader of Guyana, Prime Minister Burnham, was coming. But just a few hours before, Tang knew nothing about him or his country.     She almost panicked. Then, she thought of her favorite way to learn: from books. She hurried to the library, looking for answers. Two books became her helpers — one about the history of Guyana, and one about Prime Minister Burnham. Hours passed quickly as she read about new places and people. When she walked into the meeting, she felt much more confident. Reading had turned a scary situation into a good chance to learn. To stay sharp when she wasn’t working on important jobs, Tang found a creative way to practice — reading English detective stories. These interesting stories helped her keep her language skills strong and her vocabulary wide. Reading was not only for learning new things, but also for staying in top form. Later, she worked at the China Daily newspaper. Every day, she had to understand lots of new information from around the world. It reminded her that she always had more to learn. However, the many books she had read gave her a strong base. Her trust in reading became like an anchor in a sea of information. “Books teach you to be humble,” she said years later. “They show you how much you don’t know, and that makes you want to keep learning.” Now, when AI is becoming so important, Tang still believes in reading. “If we don’ t keep reading and learning,” she said, “we might get left behind as the world changes.” Reading, she proved, is more than just preparation; it’s a map that helps us find our way through life. 1．What was Tang’s initial reaction when she heard about Prime Minister Burnham’s arrival? A．Confident in her interpretation. B．Eager to read her favourite books. C．Excited to meet a high-profile leader. D．Worried about her lack of relevant knowledge. 2．How did detective novels contribute to Tang’s career? A．They introduced her to the legal field. B．They improved her logical reasoning. C．They offered relaxation during breaks. D．They enhanced her language proficiency. 3．What can we infer about Tang Wensheng’s personality from the passage? A．Pessimistic & Hesitant. B．Gifted & Easygoing. C．Hardworking & Persistent. D．Reserved & Independent. 4．Which of the following idioms best summarizes the main theme of the passage? A．Live and learn. B．Patience is a virtue. C．Knowledge is power. D．Fortune favors the bold. 主题01 人与社会——文学艺术与体育 Passage 1 （24-25学年高二下四川省成都市蓉城名校联盟·期末） Mike Mushaw joined the national bone marrow registry (骨髓登记) three years ago by chance. Six months later, he got a call. The 21-year-old football player's bone marrow matched a patient in Virginia. Mushaw gave a second thought to the donation, because apart from some risks, he never knew whether his donation worked. “Finally I said yes,” Mushaw told the journalist. “Once they took my blood, I thought, ‘All right, this is real. This is going to happen.’” Mushaw didn't know it at the time, but his donation would go to a five-month-old girl named Eleanor who was sick with a rare disease diagnosed when she was only three months old. Days and weeks passing, her condition had become more dire. “Eleanor was going to die without a bone marrow transplant,” her mother, Jessica, said. “The choices were to either get a transplant or die early. Luckily, Mushaw’s bone cured her.” Mushaw didn't know any of this until months after his donation. About six months after the procedure, Eleanor's parents sent him an e-mail to thank him for his selfless love. Their surprising connection was beginning. Mushaw kept checking on her progress. Eleanor focused her attention on him, too, by watching his football games on TV. In August, Mushaw invited her family to drive from Virginia to Connecticut to meet at one of his games. They had a good time together. In January, Mushaw reunited with Eleanor, this time in Virginia, to celebrate her birthday. It will likely be first of many celebrations together. “As a parent, it feels really great to watch someone love your kid as much as you do,” Jessica says. “We were two complete strangers, and now we've become such a big part of each other's lives.” 1．Why did Mushaw hesitate at first? A．He was a football player. B．He would face some danger. C．He knew it wouldn't work at all. D．He didn't know whether his risks were worthy. 2．What does the underlined word “dire” in paragraph 3 mean? A．Serious. B．Complicated. C．Relieved. D．Hopeful. 3．Which of the following best describes Mushaw? A．Kind but hesitant. B．Active and confident. C．Worried but energetic. D．Selfless and considerate. 4．What can we learn through Mushaw's story? A．Why health matters. B．Never make excuses. C．How to be a good person. D．Love brings people together. Passage 2 （24-25学年高二下四川省阿坝藏族羌族自治州·期末） Shane Gross is from Saskatchewan, Canada, a province far away from the sea, so his first underwater experiences were in a cold, green lake with a disposable film camera. Despite this, he’s always been fascinated by the ocean, especially sharks, and watched Jaws countless times. After backpacking through Australia in 2009 and diving along the way, he decided to pursue his passion seriously. In 2011, he moved to the Bahamas to work as a dive instructor, which allowed him to spend more time in the water and improve his photography skills. In 2017, while diving at one of their regular spots, “Sea Garden”, Gross and his girlfriend encountered a turtle (海龟). They were deeply upset at the terrible scene—the turtle was trapped, struggling, and ultimately dying. Realizing there was nothing they could do to save it, Gross removed the abandoned fishing line wrapped around the turtle and documented the moment. His photograph later won first place in the conservation category of the 2019 International Ocean Art Underwater Photo Competition, bringing attention to the problem of sea waste that often goes unseen. When asked about his approach to creating remarkable underwater photography, Shane Gross advises underwater photographers to go beyond just one image. He encourages them to document the entire scene they’re passionate about, even if it means taking some shots above the water. Once you have a story to tell, create a shot list and keep shooting until you have recorded it fully. For Shane, spending time in the ocean is deeply fulfilling. “I live a marine (海洋的) lifestyle,” he says. “But most people don’t share this connection.” To bridge this gap, he created Bahamas Underwater, a book combining stories and vivid imagery to introduce people to marine ecosystems and their wonders. Shane recommends that taking time to admire the breathtaking views of the ocean should be the initial step toward creating meaningful change — a shift from indifference to active care. 1．What can we learn about Shane Gross from paragraph 1? A．He grew up in the coastal area. B．He longed to be a dive instructor. C．He followed his childhood passion. D．He did academic research on sharks. 2．Why did Shane take a photo of the sea turtle? A．To criticize overfishing. B．To protect natural habitats. C．To save the injured animal. D．To highlight marine pollution. 3．What is the key to good underwater photography according to paragraph 3? A．A large image. B．A unique scene. C．A complete story. D．A strong motivation. 4．What does Shane suggest as the first step toward caring for the ocean? A．Promoting green lifestyles. B．Appreciating ocean’s beauty. C．Sharing marine knowledge. D．Documenting nature’s wonders. 主题02 人与自我——生活与学习 Passage 1 （24-25学年高二下四川省南充市·期末） My average screen time was eight hours and 44 minutes per day — more time than I spent sleeping. This made me fit into the category of being “constantly online”, defined as someone whose entire life depends on the Internet. So I decided to change my lifestyle and use a dumbphone, designed with minimal features, primarily for basic communication such as calls, text messages and limited or no Internet access. The first two days of my experiment started on a weekend. I experienced deep anxiety: I thought I was missing out on an event. As a result, I started calling my friends and family just to make sure that I wasn’t. I asked Lindsay Bira, a clinical health psychologist, why my decision to downgrade initially made me more anxious. “Being alone or disconnected from what’s going on can be read by the deep brain as a survival threat when it really isn’t a threat,” Bira said. “It is important to learn how to tolerate the feeling of being disconnected or left out until our brain understands that it is not a problem, which allows us to self-control without reaching for the phone, and we develop a deeper, healthier connection to ourselves.” I started calling friends to hang out, rediscovering the lost art of phone conversations. It reduces miscommunication compared to texting and makes me a better listener, helping me feel more connected. After the week, I broke the habit of automatically checking my phone for information. Instead of going through social media at work, I started getting news from other sources. 1．Why did the author switch to a dumbphone? A．To reduce her phone usage. B．To break her Internet dependency.

I’m not one for sowing seeds early, but tomatoes need every day of the growing season to offer up the best possible harvest. Gardeners and growers are well versed (精通的) in the nature of change. However, despite what plants have taught me about living and working with forces beyond my control, I frequently experience climate anxiety. All it takes is a few days of unexpectedly changeable weather for panic to rise up in my throat. Yet, it is through working with plants that I’ve found a way of dealing with this particular anxiety—to pay even more attention to the wonder of the natural world instead of choosing to turn away. And right now, as winter gives way to spring, is the ideal time to start a practice of noticing. On the days I spend with my crops, I resist the urge to dive straight into all there is to do; instead, I first stop to observe what’s new and what’s changed. I’m hungrily searching for green shoots and swelling buds (花蕾). I’m drinking in all the signs of new life that remind me that spring has always come and will in all likelihood be beautiful. When anxious headlines make me feel powerless and want to disengage, I develop my sense of essential connection with the natural world. This simply feels more possible in spring. Despite the very real challenges and dangers we face in this time of climate crisis, the natural world insists on showing us what flexibility and optimism look like and it’s our responsibility to take note and follow suit. As I write these words, I have a blanket on my knees and the window open to allow a silver of the cool breeze to blow in. The world feels fresh and lively and is full of new energy. I trust that the plants I grow this season will thrive. And I know that spring, hopefully one that’s overflowing with blossom, is already on its way. 1．Why did the author begin to plant tomatoes this weekend? A．To ensure sufficient growth time. B．To promote early planting techniques. C．To avoid unpredictable spring weather. D．To experiment with new seed varieties. 2．What is the purpose of the second paragraph? A．To define gardeners and growers. B．To share a way to deal with climate anxiety. C．To criticize those ignoring environmental problems. D．To argue for gardening as the best nature connection. 3．What does the author focus on when working in the garden? A．New changes in plants. B．The harvest of crops. C．The beautiful surroundings. D．Daily weather situations. 4．Which words best describe the author? A．Concerned and anxious. B．Observant and positive. C．Considerate but overconfident. D．Patient but impractical. 主题 03 人与社会 —— 社会服务与人际沟通 Passage 1 （24-25学年高二下四川省眉山市·期末） When Michael Platt learned he had epilepsy (癫痫), he had to give up many activities he loved. However, he has since become a person of many talents, excelling as a businessman, activist for justice, and baker. In 2017, Michael Platt established Michaels Desserts, a company that gives a cupcake to the homeless for every dessert it sells. As its business develops and partnerships with charities grow, his company has gained some fame in the local food and charity field. He has helped thousands of people and remains a vocal supporter of addressing food insecurity. “I know that a cupcake won’t end hunger but a tasty treat, when times are tough, can make life sweeter,” he wrote on the company’s website. Inspired by Martin Luther King Jr. , the African-American boy has put a lot of effort into addressing inequality, especially income inequality and child hunger, and has always wanted to promote justice. To show respect to heroes and freedom fighters, he published a book titled Recipes for Change, which shares 12 important events along with a recipe inspired by each. For example, in the book, there is a Juneteenth’s (六月节的) red ice pops recipe. The main ingredients are watermelon and strawberry because, for Juneteenth, a holiday celebrating the end of slavery, foods are traditionally red. Featuring mouthwatering recipes accompanied by biographies of important figures, Recipes for Change inspires people with real stories of pioneers who helped to change the world. When Platt was little, his grandmother taught him to cook and bake. Helping and sharing are important values in his family. Platt said that his grandparents used to have a big garden, filled with various vegetables and flowers. “They always said, ‘You never know who’s gonna need something.’ Inspiring a lot of people is definitely what I’m really, really proud of”. 1．What does the underlined word “excelling” in paragraph l probably mean?

Passage 2 （24-25学年高二下四川省眉山市·期末） By 2015, the priest Joyner of Conetoe came to understand he was hosting funerals (葬礼) twice a month — a surprising number for his town’s tiny population. In this African American town, a quarter of families live an extremely poor life and heart disease kills more 20 to 39-year olds than car accidents do. Joyner decided to do something about it. Driving home one day, he pulled over and thought that maybe he’d get further with his eyes open. He looked around, and all he saw was farmland. It gave him an idea: Get the kids to take part in it. Joyner ran a youth camp, so that summer, he showed the campers how to grow their own food on the small land. The kids, 4 to 16 years old, ate up the vegetables they had grown, and the following year, they gave free boxes of vegetables to the old people in the town. Not everyone welcomed the idea. Some church elders questioned whether it was wise to let kids take part in agrarian pursuit (农业工作). But Joyner saw it differently. “The kids are bringing food to people who need it. They enjoy what they’re doing,” he said. At the same time, it improved the health of the community by providing healthy foods. Today, because of Joyner, that small land has changed into the 21-acre Conetoe Family Life Center. The local hospital, schools and restaurants help the center by buying its salad greens, peppers, strawberries, and other food for people. Research from East Carolina University found that people in Conetoe have lost weight, lowered their blood pressure, and visited the hospital less frequently because of the fresh food and health advice available at the center. 1．What do we know about the town where Joyner lives? A．It develops very slowly. B．There are not enough churches. C．People are too poor to live a healthy life. D．Many young people die from accidents. 2．Why did Joyner decide to grow food on the small land? A．To provide food for kids. B．To lower the number of deaths. C．To teach kids how to plant. D．To make full use of the small land. 3．What did some church elders think of Joyner’s idea? A．They weren’t interested in it. B．They were doubtful about it. C．They strongly disagreed with it. D．They thought it did harm to kids. 4．Which of the following would be the most suitable title for the passage? A．Joyner’s Agricultural Solution for Community Health B．A Small Town’s Battle Against Poverty and Accidents C．Kids in Farming: Challenges and Triumphs in a Poor Town D．The Transformation of a Farmland into a Life - Changing Center Passage 3 （24-25学年高二下四川省成都市蓉城名校联考·期末） Nima Rinji Sherpa has become the youngest climber to reach the top of the world’s 14 highest mountains, known as the “8,000ers”. The 18-year-old from Nepal completed his goal on October 9th, 2024 by climbing the 8,027-meter Mount Shishapangma in Xizang, China. Climbing all 14 is such a difficult and dangerous challenge that only a handful of people have managed to complete it. Nima is a Sherpa (夏尔巴人). Sherpas are a group of people mostly from Nepal who are famous for their exceptional climbing skills. They help make climbing possible. They guide climbers, carry heavy loads, and set up safety equipment. Foreign climbers often get most of the attention for completing the climbs while Sherpas do much of the hard work in the same dangerous conditions. Nima is hoping to bring some of that attention back to Sherpas. Nima comes from a family of climbers. His father is a famous climber, and his uncles were the first brothers to both climb all of the 8,000ers. However, Nima didn’t start climbing seriously until he was 16 years old. He climbed his first 8,000er, Mount Manaslu, in August of 2022 and climbed Mount Qomolangma, the world’s tallest mountain, earlier in 2024. Nima chose to leave Mount Shishapangma as his last 8,000er. He had planned to climb it last year. But an avalanche (雪崩) at the time killed four people, including his friend and teacher. Nima delayed his plan and joined the rescue team to save other climbers. Nima describes climbing as a tough sport, saying, “It’s about who can suffer the most when times are the worst.” He hopes his success will make people more aware that Sherpas are as skilled as climbers from any other country and how important Sherpas are to climbing. “My dream is very simple,” Nima said. “It’s just to be one of the best athletes in mountaineering.” 1．What’s paragraph 2 mainly about? A．The climbing skills of Sherpas. B．The achievements of Sherpas in climbing. C．The significant role Sherpas play in climbing.

C．He climbed Mount Shishapangma as he had planned. D．He valued other people’s lives more than his own dream. 3．What does Nima hope to achieve through his success? A．To win world-wide fame. B．To honor his friend and teacher. C．To live up to his parents’ expectations. D．To highlight Sherpas’ contributions to climbing. 4．Which of the following words can best describe Nima?
