My son has lost his admission to a good school. We have moved from a big house to a smaller one to reduce our living expenses. My wife has a lot of extra stress. On top of that, her father died a week ago, which has added fuel to the fire, putting our family in a worse situation. And now I have had an accident, too! In these conditions, I have two mental choices: either to feel depressed and keep thinking about my problems, losing my peace of mind and affecting my family life; or replace my negative (消极的) thoughts with super mental powers that depend on self-confidence, positivity, and keep applying for new jobs with a positive attitude. I choose the second option because I believe that the pain I am experiencing today will strengthen my character. My strengths will then improve my confidence and make me a successful man one day. I understand that time does not stop and does not remain the same. I understand that good and bad days are part of the package called life. While good times make me happy, bad times strengthen the ‘inner’ me. I believe in the quote which says that God takes men into deep waters not to drown them, but to clean them. I also believe in the four spiritual powers; one of which says that whatever is happening is the best thing that could have happened. After two months, I got a job which is very exciting, full of professional exposure and offers a nice salary. Time has healed my wife’s mental stress due to the death of her father, although such a loss is irreplaceable. My son and daughter have got admission to a good school. 1．What does the first paragraph suggest? A．The family once lived in a small house. B．The author is in a good situation.

Passage 2 （24-25高一下·江苏扬州·期末） From her window in rural Aberdeenshire, Laura never fails to enjoy the natural beauty and reflect on the great changes life has brought. The pretty farm on a hillside in Strichen was a world away from her life just a few years ago. Now, besides brilliant countryside views, she looks out for the daily tricks of Shaun, a characterful sheep who has changed her life unimaginably. Adopting (收养) him as a lamb inspired Laura to write a hit children’s book, “Shaun’s New Home”. Laura decided to reinvent her life as she approached her fortieth birthday. After her husband Edward lost his job, they set up a home-based business. Inspired by their neighbours who moved to Banff and sent amazing countryside pictures, they decided to live the dream before it was too late. They bought a property (庄园) in Strichen and relocated 450 miles north. As word got round about their love of animals and their willingness to take in those needing a fresh start, the field at the farm became home to ducks, chickens, pigs and so on. But Shaun’s arrival was the real life changer. She adopted him as a companion for Clyde, a tiny little lamb. Shaun, who had been with farm dogs, had puppy-like features. He followed Laura around, loved shaking its tail, and was very adorable. Laura started recording the playful behaviour of Shaun, Clyde and other adopted animals. She would imagine what they might be saying to one another, and Edward suggested she turn those ideas into a book. “I never imagined I could write a book, let alone find a publisher,” Laura said. “So, calling myself an author and seeing my book become popular is beyond my wildest dreams. It’s all about discovery, love and belonging, and being able to share that is wonderful.” Laura has been reading Shaun’s adventures to children in primary schools, while also writing book two. 1．Why did Laura decide to move to Strichen?

The plumber used his key to open the door for the man, who was dressed in a white uniform of the Louvre’s maintenance staff (维护人员). In fact, the unknown man had something very valuable hidden underneath his uniform: Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa. The security was unbelievably terrible, especially on a painting with the then-insignificant reputation of the Mona Lisa. No one was even aware of the theft (偷窃) until the next day when a painter named Louis Beroud came to copy the painting. An alarm was raised, and police later found the glass box in a service stairway. Days passed, but no evidence was found. Great anger quickly grew and spread among the public and press. But no one could even figure out a motive for the theft. “Why the theft happened is a mystery to me, as I consider the picture valueless in the hands of a private individual,” said the assistant curator (馆长), Monsieur Benedite. Two years of silence followed, and the theft was almost forgotten. Then a man calling himself“Leonardo”contacted Alfredo Geri, an art dealer in Florence, Italy, saying he had the Mona Lisa and meant to return the painting to da Vinci’s homeland. Geri managed to talk“Leonardo”into bringing the painting to Florence, promising him 500, 000 lire for his effort. The police were brought in and“Leonardo”was found to be Vincenzo Peruggia, a house painter, with a little secret ambition in life. After a lengthy trial, Peruggia, for some reason, was only sentenced to one year and 15 days in jail, later reduced to seven months and nine days. Despite different versions of the story in some details, the punishment proved to be a small price to pay for the greatest art theft of the 20th century. 1．Why did the plumber help the thief open the door? A．He just played his part in their plan. B．He cared little about the painting at all. C．He took the man for a common worker. D．He worried about being killed by the thief. 2．What contributed most to the success of the theft? A．The safety measures weren’t strict. B．The police didn’t try their best at all. C．The picture enjoyed significant fame. D．The assistant curator was irresponsible. 3．What is Paragraph 4 mainly about? A．A further description of the Mona Lisa. B．A reasonable doubt about the theft. C．The process of the thief’s being caught. D．The importance of bringing in the police. 4．What can we learn from the passage? A．Peruggia was slightly punished for the theft. B．People then showed little interest in the theft. C．The theft added to the value of the Mona Lisa. D．The thief paid little money for the Mona Lisa. Passage 2 （23-24高一下·江苏盐城·期末） A few years ago I took my sons for ice cream, and while my older son went inside to buy us our milk shakes, my younger son and I waited on the bench (长椅) outside. At a certain point I realized that sitting right next to me were a little girl with a facial deformity (畸形), her friend (or sister), and her mother. When my younger son looked up and saw her, he reacted exactly the way you might think a three-year old would react when seeing something that scared him: he started to cry—pretty loudly, too. I hurriedly tried to push him away in the stroller (婴儿推车), not for the benefit of him but to avoid hurting the girl’s feelings, and in my haste I caused my older son to knock over the shakes, and, well, it was a scene quite different from what I had hoped for. But as I pushed my younger son’s stroller away I heard the little girl’s mom say, in as sweet and calm a voice as you can imagine, “Okay, guys, I think it’s time to go.” And that just set me thinking. For the rest of the day, I couldn’t stop thinking about how that scene had played out. It occurred to me that they probably went through something like that hundreds of times a day. What would that be like? What could I be teaching my children so they could understand how to respond better next time? What I should have done, instead of trying to avoid the situation, was involve the girl and her mother in conversation. If my son cried, so be it: kids cry. I should have set a better example for him, and shown him there was nothing to fear. As I was thinking about the scene, the song Wonder by Natalie Merchant came on the radio that night, and something about the words to the song just got to me. That very night, I started writing Wonder, a story about a boy with a facial difference. 1．What made the younger son cry? A．That his mother pushed him away. B．That his brother upset the milk shakes. C．That he was unwilling to react to the girl. D．That he was scared by the girl’s appearance. 2．The underlined word “haste” in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ________. A．hurry B．doubt C．sorrow D．turn 3．Why did the author keep thinking about the scene? A．She regretted not behaving properly. B．She regretted not comforting her son. C．She wanted to write a novel based on it. D．She wanted to clear up the misunderstanding. 4．What does the author want to express through the story? A．Don’t judge a book by its cover. B．One good turn deserves another. C．A kind gesture can reach a wound. D．Think twice before making a final decision. 主题03 人与自我——善行义举 Passage 1 （24-25高一下·江苏镇江·期末） In the small town of Greenfield, a remarkable community garden project has been transforming an empty lot into a place of beauty and unity. The empty lot, located on Main Street right at the heart of the town, was once filled with rubbish, while weeds (杂草) grew wildly, reaching up to knee height. But a group of passionate local residents, led by the energetic and determined Mrs. Thompson, saw potential. They firmly believed that this barren space could be turned into something extraordinary, and thus, the idea of a community garden was born. With the help of the town council, which provided funding, and the local hardware store, which generously donated gardening tools, the project finally got off the ground. Volunteers of all ages from across the town eagerly joined in. Children, their faces beaming with excitement, helped pick up small pieces of trash, while adults worked hard to till the stubborn soil. The elderly, sharing their rich gardening experience, guided the younger ones on the best planting methods. Together, they planted a diverse range of vegetables like tomatoes and cucumbers, fruits such as strawberries, and colorful flowers that would bloom in different seasons. As the garden succeeded, it became the new heart of the community. Neighbors who had previously only exchanged brief nods started having long, friendly conversations. They shared valuable gardening tips over cups of coffee, and on sunny weekends, the garden was filled with laughter during lively picnics. The local school actively participated as well. Regularly, science classes made their way to the garden, an exciting laboratory where students were able to have hands-on experience. The community garden not only beautified the town, replacing the shabby lot with a green oasis (绿洲), but also had far-reaching practical impacts. The abundant produce (农产品) was shared among the volunteers, and a significant amount was donated to the local food bank, bringing warmth and nutrition to those in need. This project in Greenfield has truly become a shining example for other towns, vividly showing how a community’s joint efforts can turn a deserted space into a source of joy and enrichment for everyone. 1．What is the main purpose of the community garden project?

Growing up in Wyoming, she was well aware of the lack of health care resources in countrysides. Access to in-depth health care for cancer (癌症) patients is hard to get. She’s worked throughout her life to change that. In Wyoming, there’s a great distance to travel between where people live and where they can find a cancer doctor. “If you need treatments and they have to be done every day, and if it’s 120 miles from where you live, it is very hard to receive the kind of care you need.” And now Monica serves as the president of the Coalition (联盟) of Cancer Cooperative Groups (CCCG) — an international network of individuals who work to improve the quality of life and survival of cancer patients by taking part in cancer clinical trials more. She said, “One of the important things is that we’re trying to make sure cancer clinical trials can reach every single patient who needs them in my own state.” The coalition set up sites in northern and southern Wyoming that are able to run clinical trials. Before those trials, patients would usually go to Denver or Salt Lake City — a three-to-seven-hour drive. Monica’s efforts to increase access to the health care needs of her patients also include helping to develop new policies that will allow patients to take part in more clinical trials, and linking them with a regional doctor who can get them the access to the care they need. Besides the clinical trials, Monica said that technology’s progress like better cell phone and internet service in the mountains of Wyoming, as well as social media, has helped local people stay in touch with medical professionals despite their distance. She will continue to support those changes. “I still consider myself part of Wyoming and I am very devoted to making sure that patients can get access to health care.” 1．What do cancer patients in the countrysides of Wyoming need most? A．Better housing. B．Complete health care. C．Further education. D．Public transportation. 2．How has Monica helped the cancer patients? A．By offering clinical trials. B．By supporting financial aid. C．By improving internet service. D．By training medical professionals. 3．Which of the following can best describe Monica? A．Determined and creative. B．Honest and generous. C．Grateful and courageous. D．Devoted and responsible. 4．What is a suitable title for the text? A．Technology: A push for progress B．Monica: A helper for cancer patients C．CCCG: A pioneer for cancer treatment D．Clinical trials: A hope for cancer patients 3．推理判断题。根据第一段“She’s worked throughout her life to change that. (她一生都在努力改变这种状况。)”以及最后一段“I still consider myself part of Wyoming and I am very devoted to making sure that patients can get access to health care. (我仍然认为自己是怀俄明州的一员，我非常致力于确保患者能够获得医疗保健。)”可推知，Monica是一个有奉献精神和责任感的人。故选D。 主题04 人与自然——人与动植物 Passage 1 （24-25高一下·江苏锡山高级中学·期末） When concert pianist Paul Barton moved to Thailand, little could he have expected where life would take him. Instead of performing for classical music lovers on stage, Barton’s audience are old and injured elephants. He spends his time playing everything from Bach to Beethoven to these huge animals. The idea first came to Barton while he made a YouTube video in Thailand. It was there that the elephant-lover found out about Elephants World. This sanctuary (保护区) cares for old, injured and disabled elephants. After contacting the manager, Barton decided to give his first concert. What happened was something he would never forget. “The first time I played the piano at Elephants World, a blind elephant called Plara was having his breakfast. But when he heard the music, he suddenly stopped eating his food and stayed still all through the music. Plara was not the only one,” shares Barton. The piano “concerts” are held in the open. Elephants are not forced to listen. In fact, Barton notes that the music itself appears to attract them, as many come closer for a listen. Some move slowly to the song. Some hold their trunk (象鼻) in their mouth as they listen, and others even put their trunk on the piano and begin to sing along. For Barton, this work is part of an effort to attend to these huge animals. Their stress and pain will disappear as they listen to music. “All I can think of is that we work to make the lives of elephants better in the ways we can,” explains Barton. “Elephants are emotional animals. There’s a special connection between us. We’re communicating with each other in a different language.” Barton has posted videos of these amazing moments to his YouTube, which has over 300,000 followers. Each of the videos is a moving look at how music influences these animals. Barton’s work is a bridge that brings together humans and animals. 1．What does Barton try to do in Thailand?

D．Beneficial Passage 2 （24-25高一下·江苏天一中学·期末） Fifteen years ago, Erin Merryn met Bailey, a kitten who needed a home when she was a college student. He jumped into her arms and refused to let her go. “I was attached immediately and decided that I would take a risk and try hiding the kitten in my college dorm where pets are obviously not allowed,” Erin recalled. A week later she was caught and given 48 hours to remove the cat. After several phone calls, Erin managed to convince her parents to let her keep him.

Today, the desert’s southward movement has been stopped thanks to a green belt planted in the last 40 years by Guo Wangang and his colleagues. As a result, Guo was named a National Moral Model in 2020. Guo is only part of the second generation of “soldiers” to fight against the desert. His father was one of the six men who first began planting trees in Babusha. When Guo’s father fell ill in 1983, he hoped that his son would follow in his footsteps. Guo remembers being reluctant to give up his stable government job. “My father repeatedly stressed that we had to make sure our farms weren’t eaten by the desert,” Guo said, adding that he eventually agreed to work at the farm because he didn’t want to see the trees die. However, it was the deadly sandstorm in 1993 that turned Guo into a determined “soldier”. The fast moving brown wall of dust reached high into the sky and turned day into night. Guo was working in the desert with his colleagues when it hit. They only managed to get home after trekking for six hours in darkness. Later, he learned that 23 students were found dead in a river as they tried to get home from school during the sandstorm. Since then, Guo and his colleagues have continued planting trees every spring and fall, pruning (修剪) them in winter and watching out for fire. Their struggle continues. Today more and more young people have joined with scientific and innovative methods. For example, the farm now is subsidized (资助) by Ant Forest, a public welfare project launched by the e-commerce giant, Alibaba. It rewards users with virtual energy in exchange for low-carbon activities, which can then be used to do things, like having trees planted. “We need more such young people to help us find other advanced and engineering methods for desertification control,” said Guo Wangang. 1．What was Guo Wangang’s first reaction to his father’s request? A．He advised his father to stop planting trees. B．He was unwilling to give up his stable job. C．He immediately agreed to work at the farm. D．He was determined to fight against the desert. 2．Which marks the turning point in Guo Wangang’s desert-fighting career? A．Finishing the green belt. B．Winning National Moral Model title. C．Seeing his father’s falling ill. D．Experiencing a deadly sandstorm. 3．Why does the author mention Ant Forest? A．To show young people’s creative methods. B．To advocate the low-carbon way of living. C．To praise Ant Forest’s unique contribution. D．To indicate Guo and his team’s difficulties. 4．What does the author try to express with Guo’s story? A．Well begun is half done. B．One tree doesn’t make a forest. C．Opportunity favours only the prepared mind. D．Nothing is too difficult if you put your heart into it. 3．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段的“For example, the farm now is subsidized (资助) by Ant Forest, a public welfare project launched by the e-commerce giant, Alibaba. It rewards users with virtual energy in exchange for low-carbon activities, which can then be used to do things, like having trees planted.(例如，这个农场现在得到了蚂蚁森林的补贴，蚂蚁森林是电商巨头阿里巴巴发起的一个公益项目。它用虚拟能源来奖励用户进行低碳活动，这些虚拟能源可以用来做一些事情，比如种树)”和最后一段““We need more such young people to help us find other advanced and engineering methods for desertification control,” said Guo Wangang.(郭万刚说：“我们需要更多这样的年轻人来帮助我们找到其他先进的工程方法来控制荒漠化。”)”推知，提到“蚂蚁森林”是为了表明年轻人具有创意的方法。故选A。 主题01 人与社会——中国文化与节日 Passage 1 （24-25高一下·江苏南京·期末） After a three-year hiatus(间隙), famous Chinese video influencer Li Ziqi restarted posting online with two new videos on November 12, 2024.

The 20-year-old guy explored Shanghai, Beijing, and Xi’an through unfiltered broadcasts that challenged common Western stereotypes on the country.

This cultural exchange sparked global discussions. Fans applauded those moments like IShowSpeed singing the viral Chinese song “Sunshine Rainbow White Horse” with locals.

When he was about three months old, Elizabeth noticed something odd when she took his picture. The flash on their digital camera created the typical red dot in the center of Noah’s left eye, but the right eye had a white spot at the center, almost as if the flash was being reflected back at the camera by something. When Elizabeth mentioned the strange phenomenon to their doctor, she shined a light into Noah’s eye, saw the same white reflection, and immediately sent the family to an eye expert. A white reflection instead of a red one is an obvious sign of eye cancer, and that is exactly what Noah had. He went through months of treatment, but doctors eventually could not save his eye. Retinoblastoma, the scientific name of Noah’s tumor (肿瘤), is treatable if discovered early. Bryan Shaw couldn’t help but wonder whether there were signs he’d missed. He went back over every baby picture of Noah he could find — thousands of them — and discovered the first white spot in a photo taken when Noah was 12 days old. As time went on, it appeared more frequently. “By the time he was four months old, it was showing up in 25 percent of the pictures taken of him per month”, Bryan said, who was a chemistry professor at Baylor University in Texas. It was too late for Noah’s eye, but Bryan was determined to put his insights to good use. He created a database that recorded the cancer’s appearance in every photo. He also collected photos and gathered the data from eight other children with retinoblastoma. Equipped with that data, he began to work with coworkers in Baylor’s computer science department to develop a smartphone app that can scan the photos in the user’s camera roll to search for white eye and can be used as a kind of instrument for examining the eyes. Called White Eye Detector, it is now available free of charge on Google Play and in Apple’s App Store. “I just kept telling myself, I really need to do this,” Bryan said. “This disease is tough to detect. Not only could this software save vision, but it can save lives.” 1．What made Noah’s eyes fail to be treated? A．The oddness of the eye disease. B．The lack of advanced equipment. C．The ignorance of the doctor. D．The delayed detection of the disease. 2．How could the app detect the eye disease? A．It could identify white eye with enough data. B．It could compare the eyes in different pictures. C．It could scan the database recorded by Bryan. D．It could analyse the shape of different eyes. 3．What does “this” in the last paragraph mean? A．Raising people’s awareness. B．Creating White Eye Detector. C．Sharing the app for free. D．Detecting eye cancer early. 4．Which of the following words can best describe Bryan? A．Creative and selfless. B．Generous and brave. C．Devoted and honest. D．Patient and determined. Passage 2 （23-24高一下·江苏淮安·期末） When Gary Leung completely lost his eyesight nearly 15 years ago, it almost destroyed him. The Hong Kong native fell into hopelessness. Just at that time, he found long-distance running. Now in his 50s, Leung has since completed the 100-kilometer Antarctic Ice Marathon, becoming the first blind person to do so. He even attempted the 400 km “Ultra Gobi”, thought to be one of the most challenging foot-races in the world. Recently, he is fresh off a 2,300 km charity run in Japan. The Japanese “Dark Run 2023” was divided into 40 days, meaning Leung and his guide runners—connected by a string attachment—ran an average of more than 50 km per day. The run was aimed at raising money for young people with serious illnesses and showing them that all people have obstacles (障碍), but we must face them head-on and with bravery. Though Leung can’t physically see things in front of him, he says that doesn’t make him fearful of running long distances now. He thinks there’s no need to be scared for those who are lacking in something. The universe will equip them with other talents. And they are never alone, just like he wasn’t alone on this run. His guide runners gave up their own holidays and put their own money in to fly over and support him. “I want to pass down the spirit. I’m not young anymore and won’t be able to run these distances much longer,” he says, smiling. “I want to help my younger friends with similar experiences to learn to love exercise. Doing physical activities is not as easy for them as it is for able-bodied people, so I want to set up a stage where we can continue to bring things to them—and for them to do the same for more.” 1．What does long-distance running mean for Leung? A．A cure for his eyes. B．A tool for making a living. C．A way out of life’s worst. D．A form of physical exercise. 2．How does Leung finish all his long-distance running? A．He was guided while running. B．He managed it by himself. C．He sought help from the organizers. D．He took advantage of public transport. 3．What can be inferred from Leung’s words in the last paragraph? A．He is ready to challenge longer running. B．He is too tired to go on with charity work. C．He wants young people to follow his example. D．He thinks running is easy for the blind to take up. 4．Which words can best describe Leung? A．Humorous and honest. B．Strong-willed and inspiring. C．Responsible and outgoing. D．Independent and warm-hearted. Passage 3 （23-24高一下·江苏镇江·期末） Two words can sum up the life of Dr. Catana Starks — determination and achievement. Now the story of one of her many accomplishments — she’s the first African-American woman in history to coach a male college sports team — is a movie! The story is about Starks, who was the golf coach at her alma mater (母校) Tennessee State University, a traditionally Black College in Nashville. Starks’ unique coaching style and her achievements in the face of many challenges in, her position and in life is what will leave audiences inspired. She had to drive the team bus, wash her players’ golf, clothes, and had to constantly find places for her team to practice. Starks credits her strength to one woman in her life — her mother. A native of Mobile, Alabama, Starks was diagnosed with severe asthma (哮喘). Doctors told her mother she could never participate in sports. “My mother, she had an almost mystical belief of not being limited by circumstances”, says Starks, “so I grew up with a basketball goal in the backyard.” Asthma wasn’t the only challenge; she grew up in the segregated (被隔离的) South of the 1940s, “I learned to swim. I had to walk four miles in Mobile to get to a Black pool”. After getting the men’s golf coach job, Starks couldn’t find golfers. None of the males on campus would play. “Originally that didn’t work out because I was female,” said Starks. She had to innovate by recruiting (招聘) internationally, via telephone. The calls attracted players from Sweden to South Africa. During nearly twenty years in her charge her former players have differentiated themselves throughout the world including: Sam Puryear, the former Michigan State University golf coach-the first African American in its history, and Robert Dinwiddie, an All-American golfer at TSU and a current member of the European Tour having achieved three continuous Top-10 finishes in South Africa. Starks’ determination really paid off when the T-State Tigers won the National Minority Golf Championship in 2005. And another specialty for her career, ninety percent of the players graduated! 1．Which of the following is NOT a challenge Starks faced in her career? A．Being the team bus driver. B．Doing the laundry for her players. C．Walking to the Black swimming pool. D．Finding places for team practice. 2．What did Starks learn from her mother? A．A positive attitude towards life.

In his office drawer is a thank-you letter written by an entire Sri Lankan village, containing memories of a decade-long fight against a killer, Kidney (肾) Disease, which had troubled villagers for years because of their lack of safe drinking water. Wei says that his connection to Sri Lanka began in August 2013, when he received an email about collaboration (合作) on water treatment to address Kidney Disease, which was a major public health issue in Sri Lanka, with over 40,000 people affected by the disease since the mid-1990s. In 2016, then Sri Lankan President referred to it as a “national disaster” that was affecting 20,828 patients and causing 5,000 deaths a year. In August 2014, Wei made his first visit to Sri Lanka to start an arduous research journey with Weragoda, a Sri Lanka scientist. Each day, they traveled for hours along rough roads deep into the affected areas, and paid home visits to villagers. They were greeted with cold shoulders. “Many local residents thought that the Chinese, like others, were there to write papers, not to sincerely help them,” Wei says. The two scientists had to hold difficult conversations to win their trust, but were eventually welcomed to take extremely important samples (样本) for their research. Following some research and detailed discussions between the two sides, a deal was inked in March 2015, enabling joint research into the causes of Kidney Disease and-drinking water safety. Since then, Wei has frequented Sri Lanka with other Chinese scientists to conduct thorough research into water treatment solutions suitable for local conditions. Local residents now trust Chinese scientists wholeheartedly. Villagers with kidney disease say they haven’t had to go to hospital for years thanks to the help of Chinese scientists. This July, Wei attended a research workshop at the JRDC． “This is my 31st trip to Sri Lanka. We aim to bring more benefits to the Sri Lankan people through scientific cooperation,” he said. 1．Why did the villagers write a thank-you letter to Wei Yuansong? A．For his help with water treatment.

Over the past 54 years, she has devoted her life to rescuing animals in need — saving an estimated 10,000 from neglect, abuse, and abandonment through the Barby Keel Animal Shelter in Sussex, England. What started with a simple favor in the 1970s — caring for a soldier’s dog while he was stationed in Northern Ireland — turned into a lifelong mission. The dog never left, and soon Barby was asked to take in a few cats. Decades later, her shelter now spreads 12acres and is home to more than 600 animals. Barby spent the first 20 years running the shelter entirely on her own, and today she is supported by a devoted team of volunteers. Despite having faced cancer three times, she still wakes at 7 a.m. every day to care for her beloved animals and says she “never” takes a day off. “Some days I am tired out — it’s hard work,” she said. “But then I get a little nose touch or a face look up at me, and I remember why I’m doing this. My animals come first and always will.” Today, the shelter is a nonprofit that relies entirely on public donations. It recently reopened to the public and welcomes visitors every Sunday through October 2025, free of charge. Guests can meet the animals, visit the café and gift shop, and learn more about the lives that have been saved. Barby also uses her own pension (养老金) to buy amounts of pet food, which she resells at low prices to help struggling pet owners. “I’m so thankful for my brilliant team of volunteers and all the kind people who support us,” she said. “I know I can’t do everything anymore, but I still get up early to feed the cats and check on them all.

Passage 2 （24-25高一下·江苏镇江·期末） Jen Miller isn’t your typical librarian, because she’s also a TikTok star. There are dozens of books placed on top of her shelves, waiting to be processed and shelved or to have their spines (书脊) and covers repaired. She’ll broadcast that process for her more than 450,000 followers once the school day ends. Miller’s account, “Meet Me in the Media Center,” is a fixture on “LibraryTok,” a community of creators who also happen to be librarians. As budget (预算) cuts threaten the familiar spots many are attached to, Miller and other members of LibraryTok are bringing joy back into the library experience. “I just want students to love to read and feel welcome here,” Miller told CNN. “I don’t want them to stress about late fees or damaged books—just to feel safe.” Since joining TikTok in 2023, Miller has attracted an enthusiastic fanbase of viewers who enjoy watching her do her job. There’s an everyday appeal to Miller’s content, which resonates (共鸣) with many viewers nostalgic (怀旧的) for their school days. It’s there in the familiar sound her scanner (扫描仪) makes when a book is returned on time, or in the joy viewers get when they spot books on her shelves that they loved reading in middle school. Miller said commenters have repeatedly referred to her as a “comfort creator,” a view she considers as “the highest praise ever.” Some viewers have been inspired to support their favorite LibraryTok personalities offline. Miller started the “Library Love” series to feature different librarians seeking donations for items like picture books, desks and cleaning supplies. Her followers bought out the entire wishlists of seven libraries, she said.

We have moved from a big house to a smaller one to reduce our living expenses. My wife has a lot of extra stress. On top of that, her father died a week ago, which has added fuel to the fire, putting our family in a worse situation. And now I have had an accident, too! In these conditions, I have two mental choices: either to feel depressed and keep thinking about my problems, losing my peace of mind and affecting my family life; or replace my negative (消极的) thoughts with super mental powers that depend on self-confidence, positivity, and keep applying for new jobs with a positive attitude.

I understand that time does not stop and does not remain the same. I understand that good and bad days are part of the package called life. While good times make me happy, bad times strengthen the ‘inner’ me. I believe in the quote which says that God takes men into deep waters not to drown them, but to clean them. I also believe in the four spiritual powers; one of which says that whatever is happening is the best thing that could have happened.

The pretty farm on a hillside in Strichen was a world away from her life just a few years ago. Now, besides brilliant countryside views, she looks out for the daily tricks of Shaun, a characterful sheep who has changed her life unimaginably. Adopting (收养) him as a lamb inspired Laura to write a hit children’s book, “Shaun’s New Home”. Laura decided to reinvent her life as she approached her fortieth birthday. After her husband Edward lost his job, they set up a home-based business. Inspired by their neighbours who moved to Banff and sent amazing countryside pictures, they decided to live the dream before it was too late.

She would imagine what they might be saying to one another, and Edward suggested she turn those ideas into a book. “I never imagined I could write a book, let alone find a publisher,” Laura said. “So, calling myself an author and seeing my book become popular is beyond my wildest dreams.

The plumber used his key to open the door for the man, who was dressed in a white uniform of the Louvre’s maintenance staff (维护人员). In fact, the unknown man had something very valuable hidden underneath his uniform: Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa. The security was unbelievably terrible, especially on a painting with the then-insignificant reputation of the Mona Lisa. No one was even aware of the theft (偷窃) until the next day when a painter named Louis Beroud came to copy the painting. An alarm was raised, and police later found the glass box in a service stairway. Days passed, but no evidence was found. Great anger quickly grew and spread among the public and press. But no one could even figure out a motive for the theft. “Why the theft happened is a mystery to me, as I consider the picture valueless in the hands of a private individual,” said the assistant curator (馆长), Monsieur Benedite. Two years of silence followed, and the theft was almost forgotten. Then a man calling himself“Leonardo”contacted Alfredo Geri, an art dealer in Florence, Italy, saying he had the Mona Lisa and meant to return the painting to da Vinci’s homeland. Geri managed to talk“Leonardo”into bringing the painting to Florence, promising him 500, 000 lire for his effort. The police were brought in and“Leonardo”was found to be Vincenzo Peruggia, a house painter, with a little secret ambition in life. After a lengthy trial, Peruggia, for some reason, was only sentenced to one year and 15 days in jail, later reduced to seven months and nine days. Despite different versions of the story in some details, the punishment proved to be a small price to pay for the greatest art theft of the 20th century. 1．Why did the plumber help the thief open the door? A．He just played his part in their plan. B．He cared little about the painting at all. C．He took the man for a common worker. D．He worried about being killed by the thief. 2．What contributed most to the success of the theft? A．The safety measures weren’t strict. B．The police didn’t try their best at all. C．The picture enjoyed significant fame. D．The assistant curator was irresponsible. 3．What is Paragraph 4 mainly about? A．A further description of the Mona Lisa. B．A reasonable doubt about the theft. C．The process of the thief’s being caught. D．The importance of bringing in the police. 4．What can we learn from the passage? A．Peruggia was slightly punished for the theft. B．People then showed little interest in the theft. C．The theft added to the value of the Mona Lisa. D．The thief paid little money for the Mona Lisa. 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．C 4．A 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲的是让《蒙娜丽莎》闻名于世的100多年前的一起惊天盗窃案。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段的“The plumber used his key to open the door for the man, who was dressed in a white uniform of the Louvre’s maintenance staff(维护人员).(水管工用钥匙为身穿卢浮宫维修人员白色制服的男子打开了门。)”可知，水管工把这个贼误认为普通员工给他开了门。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据第二段的“The security was unbelievably terrible, especially on a painting with the then-insignificant reputation of the Mona Lisa. No one was even aware of the theft(偷窃)until the next day when a painter named Louis Beroud came to copy the painting.(安保措施令人难以置信地糟糕，尤其是在当时名气不大的《蒙娜丽莎》这幅画上。直到第二天，一位名叫路易斯·贝鲁德的画家来临摹这幅画时，甚至没有人知道盗窃。)”可知，安全措施不严格导致了盗窃的成功。故选A。 3．主旨大意题。根据第四段的“Then a man calling himself “Leonardo” contacted Alfredo Geri, an art dealer in Florence, Italy, saying he had the Mona Lisa and meant to return the painting to da Vinci’s homeland. Geri managed to talk “Leonardo” into bringing the painting to Florence, promising him 500, 000 lire for his effort. The police were brought in and “Leonardo” was found to be Vincenzo Peruggia, a house painter, with a little secret ambition in life.(后来，一名自称“列奥纳多”的男子联系了意大利佛罗伦萨的艺术品经销商阿尔弗雷多·格里，说他有《蒙娜丽莎》，打算把这幅画归还给达·芬奇的故乡。格里设法说服了“列奥纳多”把这幅画带到佛罗伦萨，并承诺给他50万英镑的奖金。警方介入后，发现“列奥纳多”其实是文森佐·佩鲁贾(Vincenzo Peruggia)，一个房屋油漆工，在生活中有一个小小的秘密野心。)”可知，本段主要讲述贼被抓住的过程。故选C。 4．细节理解题。根据最后一段的“After a lengthy trial, Peruggia, for some reason, was only sentenced to one year and 15 days in jail, later reduced to seven months and nine days. Despite different versions of the story in some details, the punishment proved to be a small price to pay for the greatest art theft of the 20th century.(经过漫长的审判，由于某种原因，佩鲁贾只被判处一年零15天的监禁，后来减为7个月零9天。尽管在一些细节上有不同的说法，但事实证明，与20世纪最大的艺术品盗窃案相比，这种惩罚只是一个小小的代价。)” ，佩鲁贾因偷窃而受到轻微惩罚。故选A。 Passage 2 （23-24高一下·江苏盐城·期末） A few years ago I took my sons for ice cream, and while my older son went inside to buy us our milk shakes, my younger son and I waited on the bench (长椅) outside. At a certain point I realized that sitting right next to me were a little girl with a facial deformity (畸形), her friend (or sister), and her mother. When my younger son looked up and saw her, he reacted exactly the way you might think a three-year old would react when seeing something that scared him: he started to cry—pretty loudly, too. I hurriedly tried to push him away in the stroller (婴儿推车), not for the benefit of him but to avoid hurting the girl’s feelings, and in my haste I caused my older son to knock over the shakes, and, well, it was a scene quite different from what I had hoped for. But as I pushed my younger son’s stroller away I heard the little girl’s mom say, in as sweet and calm a voice as you can imagine, “Okay, guys, I think it’s time to go.” And that just set me thinking. For the rest of the day, I couldn’t stop thinking about how that scene had played out. It occurred to me that they probably went through something like that hundreds of times a day. What would that be like? What could I be teaching my children so they could understand how to respond better next time? What I should have done, instead of trying to avoid the situation, was involve the girl and her mother in conversation. If my son cried, so be it: kids cry. I should have set a better example for him, and shown him there was nothing to fear. As I was thinking about the scene, the song Wonder by Natalie Merchant came on the radio that night, and something about the words to the song just got to me. That very night, I started writing Wonder, a story about a boy with a facial difference. 1．What made the younger son cry? A．That his mother pushed him away. B．That his brother upset the milk shakes. C．That he was unwilling to react to the girl. D．That he was scared by the girl’s appearance. 2．The underlined word “haste” in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ________. A．hurry B．doubt C．sorrow D．turn 3．Why did the author keep thinking about the scene? A．She regretted not behaving properly. B．She regretted not comforting her son. C．She wanted to write a novel based on it. D．She wanted to clear up the misunderstanding. 4．What does the author want to express through the story? A．Don’t judge a book by its cover. B．One good turn deserves another. C．A kind gesture can reach a wound. D．Think twice before making a final decision. 【答案】1．D 2．A 3．A 4．C 【导语】文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了作者和儿子在冰淇淋店遇到一个面部畸形的小女孩，儿子因为害怕而哭泣，作者为了避免伤害小女孩的感情匆忙离开，但事后深感后悔，作者认为一个善意的姿态就可以接近创伤。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段“At a certain point I realized that sitting right next to me were a little girl with a facial deformity (畸形), her friend (or sister), and her mother.”（在某个时刻，我意识到坐在我旁边的是一个面部畸形的小女孩，她的朋友(或妹妹)和她的母亲。），根据文章第三段“When my younger son looked up and saw her, he reacted exactly the way you might think a three-year old would react when seeing something that scared him: he started to cry—pretty loudly, too.”（当我的小儿子抬起头看到她时，他的反应就像一个三岁的孩子看到吓到他的东西时的反应一样:他开始哭了起来，而且哭得很大声。）可推知，小儿子是因为被小女孩的外貌吓到而哭泣的。故选D。 2．词句猜测题。根据文章第三段“I caused my older son to knock over the shakes, and, well, it was a scene quite different from what I had hoped for.”（我把我的大儿子撞倒了，嗯，这是一个与我所希望的完全不同的场景）可知，作者在匆忙中出错。所此处的“haste”意为“匆忙”。故选A。 3．推理判断题。根据文章第四段“For the rest of the day, I couldn’t stop thinking about how that scene had played out. It occurred to me that they probably went through something like that hundreds of times a day. What would that be like? What could I be teaching my children so they could understand how to respond better next time? What I should have done, instead of trying to avoid the situation, was involve the girl and her mother in conversation.”（在那一天的剩余时间里，我无法停止思考那个场景是如何发生的。我想到他们可能每天都要经历这样的事情几百次。那会是什么样的呢？我应该教我的孩子们什么，以便他们下次能更好地应对？我应该做的，而不是试图避免这种情况，是让那个女孩和她的母亲参与到对话中。）可推知，作者一直在思考这个场景是因为她后悔没有正确地处理这个情况。故选A。 4．推理判断题。根据第四段“What I should have done, instead of trying to avoid the situation, was involve the girl and her mother in conversation. If my son cried, so be it: kids cry. I should have set a better example for him, and shown him there was nothing to fear.”（我应该做的，而不是试图避免这种情况，是让那个女孩和她的母亲参与到对话中。如果我的儿子哭了，那就哭吧:孩子会哭。我应该给他树立一个更好的榜样，让他知道没有什么好害怕的。）可知，主要讲述了作者和儿子在冰淇淋店遇到一个面部畸形的小女孩，儿子因为害怕而哭泣，作者为了避免伤害小女孩的感情匆忙离开，但事后深感后悔，作者认为一个善意的姿态就可以治愈创伤。所以通过故事传达出的是一个善意的姿态就可以治愈创伤。故选C。 主题03 人与自我——善行义举 Passage 1 （24-25高一下·江苏镇江·期末） In the small town of Greenfield, a remarkable community garden project has been transforming an empty lot into a place of beauty and unity. The empty lot, located on Main Street right at the heart of the town, was once filled with rubbish, while weeds (杂草) grew wildly, reaching up to knee height. But a group of passionate local residents, led by the energetic and determined Mrs. Thompson, saw potential. They firmly believed that this barren space could be turned into something extraordinary, and thus, the idea of a community garden was born. With the help of the town council, which provided funding, and the local hardware store, which generously donated gardening tools, the project finally got off the ground. Volunteers of all ages from across the town eagerly joined in. Children, their faces beaming with excitement, helped pick up small pieces of trash, while adults worked hard to till the stubborn soil. The elderly, sharing their rich gardening experience, guided the younger ones on the best planting methods. Together, they planted a diverse range of vegetables like tomatoes and cucumbers, fruits such as strawberries, and colorful flowers that would bloom in different seasons. As the garden succeeded, it became the new heart of the community. Neighbors who had previously only exchanged brief nods started having long, friendly conversations. They shared valuable gardening tips over cups of coffee, and on sunny weekends, the garden was filled with laughter during lively picnics. The local school actively participated as well. Regularly, science classes made their way to the garden, an exciting laboratory where students were able to have hands-on experience. The community garden not only beautified the town, replacing the shabby lot with a green oasis (绿洲), but also had far-reaching practical impacts. The abundant produce (农产品) was shared among the volunteers, and a significant amount was donated to the local food bank, bringing warmth and nutrition to those in need. This project in Greenfield has truly become a shining example for other towns, vividly showing how a community’s joint efforts can turn a deserted space into a source of joy and enrichment for everyone. 1．What is the main purpose of the community garden project? A．To promote local tourism. B．To provide jobs for local residents. C．To beautify the town and unite the community.

D．Inaccessible. 3．What can be inferred from paragraph 3? A．Funding was the key to success. B．Only adults worked on the project. C．The elderly played the biggest role. D．Joint efforts made the project possible. 4．The act of donating garden produce to the local food bank implies that the volunteers ________. A．seek media attention. B．aim to expand the garden’s size. C．focus on community’s well-being. D．lack storage space for the harvest. 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．D 4．C 【导语】这是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了格林菲尔德小镇的一个社区花园项目，将小镇中心原本荒芜堆满垃圾的空地改造成美丽且充满凝聚力的场所，介绍了项目开展过程以及带来的积极影响。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段“In the small town of Greenfield, a remarkable community garden project has been transforming an empty lot into a place of beauty and unity.(在格林菲尔德小镇，一个非凡的社区花园项目一直在将一块空地改造成一个美丽且团结的地方)”以及最后一段“The community garden not only beautified the town, replacing the shabby lot with a green oasis (绿洲), but also had far-reaching practical impacts... This project in Greenfield has truly become a shining example for other towns, vividly showing how a community’s joint efforts can turn a deserted space into a source of joy and enrichment for everyone.(社区花园不仅美化了小镇，用绿色绿洲取代了破旧的空地，而且产生了深远的实际影响…… 格林菲尔德的这个项目确实成为了其他城镇的光辉典范，生动地展示了一个社区的共同努力如何能将一片荒芜的空间变成每个人欢乐和富足的源泉)” 可知，社区花园项目的主要目的是美化小镇并团结社区。故选C。 2．词义猜测题题。根据第二段“The empty lot, located on Main Street right at the heart of the town, was once filled with rubbish, while weeds (杂草) grew wildly, reaching up to knee height.(这块空地位于小镇中心的主街上，曾经堆满了垃圾，杂草肆意生长，高达膝盖)”可知，这块地之前是荒芜的，没什么产出。由此猜测，划线词意为“贫瘠的”，与unproductive同义。故选B。 3．推理判断题。根据第三段“With the help of the town council, which provided funding, and the local hardware store, which generously donated gardening tools, the project finally got off the ground.

Growing up in Wyoming, she was well aware of the lack of health care resources in countrysides. Access to in-depth health care for cancer (癌症) patients is hard to get. She’s worked throughout her life to change that. In Wyoming, there’s a great distance to travel between where people live and where they can find a cancer doctor. “If you need treatments and they have to be done every day, and if it’s 120 miles from where you live, it is very hard to receive the kind of care you need.” And now Monica serves as the president of the Coalition (联盟) of Cancer Cooperative Groups (CCCG) — an international network of individuals who work to improve the quality of life and survival of cancer patients by taking part in cancer clinical trials more. She said, “One of the important things is that we’re trying to make sure cancer clinical trials can reach every single patient who needs them in my own state.” The coalition set up sites in northern and southern Wyoming that are able to run clinical trials. Before those trials, patients would usually go to Denver or Salt Lake City — a three-to-seven-hour drive. Monica’s efforts to increase access to the health care needs of her patients also include helping to develop new policies that will allow patients to take part in more clinical trials, and linking them with a regional doctor who can get them the access to the care they need. Besides the clinical trials, Monica said that technology’s progress like better cell phone and internet service in the mountains of Wyoming, as well as social media, has helped local people stay in touch with medical professionals despite their distance. She will continue to support those changes. “I still consider myself part of Wyoming and I am very devoted to making sure that patients can get access to health care.” 1．What do cancer patients in the countrysides of Wyoming need most? A．Better housing. B．Complete health care. C．Further education. D．Public transportation. 2．How has Monica helped the cancer patients? A．By offering clinical trials. B．By supporting financial aid. C．By improving internet service. D．By training medical professionals. 3．Which of the following can best describe Monica? A．Determined and creative. B．Honest and generous. C．Grateful and courageous. D．Devoted and responsible. 4．What is a suitable title for the text? A．Technology: A push for progress B．Monica: A helper for cancer patients C．CCCG: A pioneer for cancer treatment D．Clinical trials: A hope for cancer patients 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．D 4．B 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Monica为癌症患者改善医疗条件所做的努力。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段“Growing up in Wyoming, she was well aware of the lack of health care resources in countrysides. Access to in-depth health care for cancer (癌症) patients is hard to get. (在怀俄明州长大的她，深知农村地区医疗资源的匮乏。癌症患者很难获得深入的医疗保健。)”可知，怀俄明州农村的癌症患者最需要的是完善的医疗保健。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据第四段“The coalition set up sites in northern and southern Wyoming that are able to run clinical trials. Before those trials, patients would usually go to Denver or Salt Lake City — a three-to-seven-hour drive. (该联盟在怀俄明州北部和南部设立了能够进行临床试验的地点。在这些试验之前，患者通常会前往丹佛或盐湖城——开车需要三到七个小时。)”可知，Monica通过提供临床试验来帮助癌症患者。故选A。 3．推理判断题。根据第一段“She’s worked throughout her life to change that. (她一生都在努力改变这种状况。)”以及最后一段“I still consider myself part of Wyoming and I am very devoted to making sure that patients can get access to health care. (我仍然认为自己是怀俄明州的一员，我非常致力于确保患者能够获得医疗保健。)”可推知，Monica是一个有奉献精神和责任感的人。故选D。 4．主旨大意题。根据第一段“Monica is a professional doctor at Brigham and Women’s Hospital. Growing up in Wyoming, she was well aware of the lack of health care resources in countrysides. Access to in-depth health care for cancer (癌症) patients is hard to get.

Instead of performing for classical music lovers on stage, Barton’s audience are old and injured elephants. He spends his time playing everything from Bach to Beethoven to these huge animals. The idea first came to Barton while he made a YouTube video in Thailand. It was there that the elephant-lover found out about Elephants World. This sanctuary (保护区) cares for old, injured and disabled elephants. After contacting the manager, Barton decided to give his first concert. What happened was something he would never forget. “The first time I played the piano at Elephants World, a blind elephant called Plara was having his breakfast. But when he heard the music, he suddenly stopped eating his food and stayed still all through the music. Plara was not the only one,” shares Barton. The piano “concerts” are held in the open. Elephants are not forced to listen. In fact, Barton notes that the music itself appears to attract them, as many come closer for a listen. Some move slowly to the song. Some hold their trunk (象鼻) in their mouth as they listen, and others even put their trunk on the piano and begin to sing along. For Barton, this work is part of an effort to attend to these huge animals. Their stress and pain will disappear as they listen to music. “All I can think of is that we work to make the lives of elephants better in the ways we can,” explains Barton. “Elephants are emotional animals. There’s a special connection between us. We’re communicating with each other in a different language.” Barton has posted videos of these amazing moments to his YouTube, which has over 300,000 followers. Each of the videos is a moving look at how music influences these animals. Barton’s work is a bridge that brings together humans and animals. 1．What does Barton try to do in Thailand? A．He teaches music to classical music lovers B．He gives concerts to animal health workers. C．He plays classical music to weak elephants. D．He performs music in local elephant shows. 2．What does Barton want to say by sharing his experience at Elephants World? A．He enjoys sharing his stories online. B．Elephants show great interest in his music. C．He is inspired by elephants to create new music. D．The living conditions at Elephants World are terrible. 3．Why does Barton carry out such an activity at Elephants World? A．To give comfort to the elephants suffering. B．To call for material support for the organization. C．To attract more people to his YouTube videos. D．To show elephants can understand humans through music. 4．How does the author find Barton’s “concerts”? A．Boring. B．Shocking. C．Worrying. D．Beneficial 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．A 4．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了钢琴家巴顿为泰国保护区大象演奏音乐的故事。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段中“Instead of performing for classical music lovers on stage, Barton’s audience are old and injured elephants. He spends his time playing everything from Bach to Beethoven to these huge animals. (巴顿的听众不是舞台上的古典音乐爱好者，而是年老受伤的大象。他花时间为这些庞大的动物演奏从巴赫到贝多芬的各种音乐。)”可知，巴顿在泰国为虚弱的大象演奏古典音乐。故选C。 2．推理判断题。根据第二段中“The first time I played the piano at Elephants World, a blind elephant called Plara was having his breakfast. But when he heard the music, he suddenly stopped eating his food and stayed still all through the music. Plara was not the only one,” shares Barton. (巴顿分享道：“我第一次在大象世界弹钢琴时，一头名叫普拉的盲象正在吃早餐。但当它听到音乐时，它突然停止进食，在整个音乐过程中一动不动。普拉不是唯一这样的大象。”)”可推断，巴顿分享他在大象世界的经历是想表明大象对他的音乐很感兴趣。故选B。 3．细节理解题。根据第四段中“Their stress and pain will disappear as they listen to music. “All I can think of is that we work to make the lives of elephants better in the ways we can,” explains Barton. (当它们听音乐时，它们的压力和痛苦会消失。巴顿解释说：“我所能想到的就是我们努力用我们能做到的方式让大象的生活变得更好。”)”可知，巴顿在大象世界开展这样的活动是为了安慰受苦的大象。故选A。 4．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Barton’s work is a bridge that brings together humans and animals.(巴顿的工作是连接人类和动物的桥梁。)”可推断，作者认为巴顿的“音乐会”是有益的。故选 D。 Passage 2 （24-25高一下·江苏天一中学·期末） Fifteen years ago, Erin Merryn met Bailey, a kitten who needed a home when she was a college student. He jumped into her arms and refused to let her go. “I was attached immediately and decided that I would take a risk and try hiding the kitten in my college dorm where pets are obviously not allowed,” Erin recalled. A week later she was caught and given 48 hours to remove the cat. After several phone calls, Erin managed to convince her parents to let her keep him. Six years ago, Erin had Abby, her beautiful daughter. She didn’t know what Bailey would think about the new addition when she brought her home from the hospital. “But it was love at first sight.” Erin said. Bailey stayed by Abby’s side, guarding and showering her with love and purrs. As Abby grew, he became her protective brother, watching over her every step of the way. Abby picked up a book one day and tried to read it with Bailey by her side. He became her perfect audience, and the sweet boy was completely attracted by Abby as she told him stories of wonder. A video showing Abby reading to Bailey went viral online in 2018. Numerous people followed Erin on social media platforms. Unfortunately, on December 8, 2018, just months after becoming famous, the 14-year-old cat passed away from kidney failure. A full month after Bailey’s passing, Erin still got cards and gifts from caring individuals. It is this love that Erin hopes Bailey’s fans hold on to. She hopes people will be inspired to treat the world with love. 1．Why was it a “risk” for Erin to keep the cat in her dorm? A．She knew nothing about keeping cats.

A．No Ordinary Cat B．A Wonderful World C．Battle of Win-Win D．Love from Animals 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．C 4．A 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Erin Merryn在15年前收养了一只猫，取名Bailey，六年前Erin有了自己的孩子Abby，Bailey也对Abby表现出喜爱之情，他们相处的视频在网络上传播开来。虽然如今Bailey去世了，但是Erin希望人们记住她毛茸茸的“第一个孩子”，因为它象征着同情，激励人们用爱对待世界。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段““I was attached immediately and decided that I would take a risk and try hiding the kitten in my college dorm where pets are obviously not allowed,” Erin recalled.( Erin回忆说：“我立刻就喜欢上了它，决定冒险把小猫藏在我的大学宿舍里，那里显然是不允许养宠物的。”)”可知，Erin把猫养在宿舍里是一种“风险”因为大学宿舍禁止养动物。故选D。 2．细节理解题。根据第二段“As Abby grew, he became her protective brother, watching over her every step of the way.(随着Abby的成长，他成为了保护她的哥哥，守护着她的每一步)”可知，猫陪伴着Abby的童年。故选B。 3．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“A video showing Abby reading to Bailey went viral online in 2018. Numerous people followed Erin on social media platforms.(2018年，一段Abby给Bailey读书的视频在网上疯传。许多人在社交媒体平台上关注Erin)”可知，人们在网上认识了这只猫。故选C。 4．主旨大意题。根据最后一段“A full month after Bailey’s passing, Erin still got cards and gifts from caring individuals. It is this love that Erin hopes Bailey’s fans hold on to. She wants her furry “first-born” to be remembered as a symbol of compassion that inspires others to treat the world with love.( Bailey去世整整一个月后，Erin仍然收到一些关心她的人寄来的卡片和礼物。Erin希望贝利的粉丝们能保持这种爱。她希望人们记住她毛茸茸的“第一个孩子”，因为它象征着同情，激励人们用爱对待世界)”结合文章主要讲述了Erin Merryn在15年前收养了一只猫，一家人与猫相处融洽，他们相处的视频在网络上传播开来，获得人们的喜爱。虽然如今Bailey去世了，但是Erin希望人们记住她毛茸茸的“第一个孩子”，因为它象征着同情，激励人们用爱对待世界。因此推断A选项“不普通的猫”最符合文章标题。故选A。 Passage 3 （24-25高一下·江苏徐州·期末） Babusha, or “eight-step sands”, got its name because the desert was always just eight steps away from the farmers’ doors. Today, the desert’s southward movement has been stopped thanks to a green belt planted in the last 40 years by Guo Wangang and his colleagues. As a result, Guo was named a National Moral Model in 2020. Guo is only part of the second generation of “soldiers” to fight against the desert. His father was one of the six men who first began planting trees in Babusha. When Guo’s father fell ill in 1983, he hoped that his son would follow in his footsteps. Guo remembers being reluctant to give up his stable government job. “My father repeatedly stressed that we had to make sure our farms weren’t eaten by the desert,” Guo said, adding that he eventually agreed to work at the farm because he didn’t want to see the trees die. However, it was the deadly sandstorm in 1993 that turned Guo into a determined “soldier”. The fast moving brown wall of dust reached high into the sky and turned day into night. Guo was working in the desert with his colleagues when it hit. They only managed to get home after trekking for six hours in darkness. Later, he learned that 23 students were found dead in a river as they tried to get home from school during the sandstorm. Since then, Guo and his colleagues have continued planting trees every spring and fall, pruning (修剪) them in winter and watching out for fire. Their struggle continues. Today more and more young people have joined with scientific and innovative methods. For example, the farm now is subsidized (资助) by Ant Forest, a public welfare project launched by the e-commerce giant, Alibaba. It rewards users with virtual energy in exchange for low-carbon activities, which can then be used to do things, like having trees planted. “We need more such young people to help us find other advanced and engineering methods for desertification control,” said Guo Wangang. 1．What was Guo Wangang’s first reaction to his father’s request? A．He advised his father to stop planting trees. B．He was unwilling to give up his stable job. C．He immediately agreed to work at the farm. D．He was determined to fight against the desert. 2．Which marks the turning point in Guo Wangang’s desert-fighting career? A．Finishing the green belt. B．Winning National Moral Model title. C．Seeing his father’s falling ill. D．Experiencing a deadly sandstorm. 3．Why does the author mention Ant Forest? A．To show young people’s creative methods. B．To advocate the low-carbon way of living. C．To praise Ant Forest’s unique contribution. D．To indicate Guo and his team’s difficulties. 4．What does the author try to express with Guo’s story? A．Well begun is half done. B．One tree doesn’t make a forest. C．Opportunity favours only the prepared mind. D．Nothing is too difficult if you put your heart into it. 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．A 4．D 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述经过Guo Wangang和同事们几十年的努力，“八步沙”治理效果明显。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段的“When Guo’s father fell ill in 1983, he hoped that his son would follow in his footsteps.(1983年，当郭的父亲生病时，他希望儿子能追随他的脚步)”和第三段的“Guo remembers being reluctant to give up his stable government job.(郭记得他不愿意放弃他稳定的政府工作)”可知，Guo Wangang对父亲请求的第一反应是不愿意放弃稳定的政府部门工作而去种树。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据第四段的“However, it was the deadly sandstorm in 1993 that turned Guo into a determined “soldier”.(然而，正是1993年那场致命的沙尘暴让郭成为了一名坚定的“战士”)”可知，经历一场致命的沙尘暴标志着Guo Wangang治理沙漠的转折点。故选D。 3．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段的“For example, the farm now is subsidized (资助) by Ant Forest, a public welfare project launched by the e-commerce giant, Alibaba. It rewards users with virtual energy in exchange for low-carbon activities, which can then be used to do things, like having trees planted.(例如，这个农场现在得到了蚂蚁森林的补贴，蚂蚁森林是电商巨头阿里巴巴发起的一个公益项目。它用虚拟能源来奖励用户进行低碳活动，这些虚拟能源可以用来做一些事情，比如种树)”和最后一段““We need more such young people to help us find other advanced and engineering methods for desertification control,” said Guo Wangang.(郭万刚说：“我们需要更多这样的年轻人来帮助我们找到其他先进的工程方法来控制荒漠化。”)”推知，提到“蚂蚁森林”是为了表明年轻人具有创意的方法。故选A。 4．推理判断题。通读全文，并根据第一段的“Today, the desert’s southward movement has been stopped thanks to a green belt planted in the last 40 years by Guo Wangang and his colleagues. As a result, Guo was named a National Moral Model in 2020.(今天，由于郭万刚和他的同事们在过去40年里种植的绿化带，沙漠的南下运动已经停止。因此，郭在2020年被评为全国道德模范)”可知，经过Guo Wangang和同事们几十年的努力，“八步沙”治理效果明显。由此推知，文章想通过Guo Wangang的故事告诉我们“世上无难事，只怕有心人”这个道理。故选D。 主题01 人与社会——中国文化与节日 Passage 1 （24-25高一下·江苏南京·期末） After a three-year hiatus(间隙), famous Chinese video influencer Li Ziqi restarted posting online with two new videos on November 12, 2024.

When he was about three months old, Elizabeth noticed something odd when she took his picture. The flash on their digital camera created the typical red dot in the center of Noah’s left eye, but the right eye had a white spot at the center, almost as if the flash was being reflected back at the camera by something. When Elizabeth mentioned the strange phenomenon to their doctor, she shined a light into Noah’s eye, saw the same white reflection, and immediately sent the family to an eye expert. A white reflection instead of a red one is an obvious sign of eye cancer, and that is exactly what Noah had. He went through months of treatment, but doctors eventually could not save his eye. Retinoblastoma, the scientific name of Noah’s tumor (肿瘤), is treatable if discovered early. Bryan Shaw couldn’t help but wonder whether there were signs he’d missed. He went back over every baby picture of Noah he could find — thousands of them — and discovered the first white spot in a photo taken when Noah was 12 days old. As time went on, it appeared more frequently. “By the time he was four months old, it was showing up in 25 percent of the pictures taken of him per month”, Bryan said, who was a chemistry professor at Baylor University in Texas. It was too late for Noah’s eye, but Bryan was determined to put his insights to good use. He created a database that recorded the cancer’s appearance in every photo. He also collected photos and gathered the data from eight other children with retinoblastoma. Equipped with that data, he began to work with coworkers in Baylor’s computer science department to develop a smartphone app that can scan the photos in the user’s camera roll to search for white eye and can be used as a kind of instrument for examining the eyes. Called White Eye Detector, it is now available free of charge on Google Play and in Apple’s App Store. “I just kept telling myself, I really need to do this,” Bryan said. “This disease is tough to detect. Not only could this software save vision, but it can save lives.” 1．What made Noah’s eyes fail to be treated? A．The oddness of the eye disease. B．The lack of advanced equipment. C．The ignorance of the doctor. D．The delayed detection of the disease. 2．How could the app detect the eye disease? A．It could identify white eye with enough data. B．It could compare the eyes in different pictures. C．It could scan the database recorded by Bryan. D．It could analyse the shape of different eyes. 3．What does “this” in the last paragraph mean? A．Raising people’s awareness. B．Creating White Eye Detector. C．Sharing the app for free. D．Detecting eye cancer early. 4．Which of the following words can best describe Bryan? A．Creative and selfless. B．Generous and brave. C．Devoted and honest. D．Patient and determined. 【答案】1．D 2．A 3．C 4．A 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了 Bryan 和 Elizabeth Shaw 的儿子 Noah 患眼癌，因发现过晚失去一只眼睛，Bryan基于此经历，创建数据库，与同事开发出免费的手机应用程序White Eye Detector，用于检测眼癌的故事。 1．细节理解题。根据第四段“Retinoblastoma, the scientific name of Noah’s tumor (肿瘤), is treatable if discovered early.(Noah 所患肿瘤的学名是视网膜母细胞瘤，如果发现得早是可以治疗的)” 可知，Noah 的眼睛未能得到有效治疗是因为疾病发现延迟。故选D。 2．细节理解题。根据第六段“He created a database that recorded the cancer’s appearance in every photo. He also collected photos and gathered the data from eight other children with retinoblastoma. Equipped with that data, he began to work with coworkers in Baylor’s computer science department to develop a smartphone app that can scan the photos in the user’s camera roll to search for white eye and can be used as a kind of instrument for examining the eyes.(他创建了一个数据库，记录每张照片中癌症的表现。他还收集了其他八名患有视网膜母细胞瘤儿童的照片并收集数据。有了这些数据，他开始与贝勒大学计算机科学系的同事合作开发一款智能手机应用程序，该程序可以扫描用户相机胶卷中的照片以寻找白瞳，并且可以用作一种眼部检查工具。）” 可知，该应用程序能够通过足够的数据识别白瞳来检测眼病。故选A。 3．词义猜测题。根据文章最后一段“Called White Eye Detector, it is now available free of charge on Google Play and in Apple’s App Store. “I just kept telling myself, I really need to do this ,” Bryan said. (这款应用叫做 White Eye Detector，现在在谷歌应用商店和苹果应用商店免费提供。Bryan 说：“我一直告诉自己，我真的需要做这件事”)” 可知，这里的“this”指的是免费分享这款应用程序。故选C。 4．推理判断题。根据文章第六段“He created a database that recorded the cancer’s appearance in every photo.

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

Just at that time, he found long-distance running.(当Gary Leung在15年前完全失明时，这几乎摧毁了他。这位香港人陷入了绝望。就在那时，他发现了长跑)”可知，长跑对Leung来说是在人生低谷时找到的出路。故选C项。 2．细节理解题。根据文章第三段中的“The Japanese “Dark Run 2023” was divided into 40 days, meaning Leung and his guide runners—connected by a string attachment—ran an average of more than 50 km per day.(日本的“2023黑暗跑”分为40天，这意味着Leung和他的引导跑者——用一根绳子连接——平均每天跑50多公里)”可知，Leung是通过导跑员的帮助完成长跑的。故选A项。 3．推理判断题。根据文章最后一段““I want to pass down the spirit. I’m not young anymore and won't be able to run these distances much longer,” he says, smiling. “I want to help my younger friends with similar experiences to learn to love exercise. Doing physical activities is not as easy for them as it is for able-bodied people, so I want to set up a stage where we can continue to bring things to them—and for them to do the same for more.”(“我想传承这种精神。我不再年轻了，不能再跑这么长的距离了，”他微笑着说。“我想帮助有类似经历的年轻朋友学会热爱运动。对他们来说，做体育活动并不像对健全人那么容易，所以我想建立一个舞台，让我们可以继续为他们带来一些东西——也让他们为更多的人做同样的事情。”)”可知，Leung想传承这种精神，帮助有类似经历的年轻朋友学会热爱运动，由此可推知，他想让年轻人以他为榜样。故选C项。 4．推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Now in his 50s, Leung has since completed the 100-kilometer Antarctic Ice Marathon, becoming the first blind person to do so. He even attempted the 400 km “Ultra Gobi”, thought to be one of the most challenging foot-races in the world. Recently, he is fresh off a 2,300 km charity run in Japan.(现在50多岁的Leung已经完成了100公里的南极冰马拉松，成为第一个完成这一壮举的盲人。他甚至尝试了400公里的“超级戈壁”，这被认为是世界上最具挑战性的徒步比赛之一。最近，他刚完成在日本2300公里的慈善跑)”以及最后一段““I want to pass down the spirit. I’m not young anymore and won't be able to run these distances much longer,” he says, smiling. “I want to help my younger friends with similar experiences to learn to love exercise. Doing physical activities is not as easy for them as it is for able-bodied people, so I want to set up a stage where we can continue to bring things to them—and for them to do the same for more.”(“我想传承这种精神。我不再年轻了，不能再跑这么长的距离了，”他微笑着说。“我想帮助有类似经历的年轻朋友学会热爱运动。对他们来说，做体育活动并不像对健全人那么容易，所以我想建立一个舞台，让我们可以继续为他们带来一些东西——也让他们为更多的人做同样的事情。”)”可知，Leung虽然失明，但依然完成了多项长跑挑战，说明他意志坚强；他还想帮助有类似经历的年轻朋友学会热爱运动，说明他鼓舞人心。故选B项。 Passage 3 （23-24高一下·江苏镇江·期末） Two words can sum up the life of Dr. Catana Starks — determination and achievement. Now the story of one of her many accomplishments — she’s the first African-American woman in history to coach a male college sports team — is a movie! The story is about Starks, who was the golf coach at her alma mater (母校) Tennessee State University, a traditionally Black College in Nashville. Starks’ unique coaching style and her achievements in the face of many challenges in, her position and in life is what will leave audiences inspired. She had to drive the team bus, wash her players’ golf, clothes, and had to constantly find places for her team to practice. Starks credits her strength to one woman in her life — her mother. A native of Mobile, Alabama, Starks was diagnosed with severe asthma (哮喘). Doctors told her mother she could never participate in sports. “My mother, she had an almost mystical belief of not being limited by circumstances”, says Starks, “so I grew up with a basketball goal in the backyard.” Asthma wasn’t the only challenge; she grew up in the segregated (被隔离的) South of the 1940s, “I learned to swim. I had to walk four miles in Mobile to get to a Black pool”. After getting the men’s golf coach job, Starks couldn’t find golfers. None of the males on campus would play. “Originally that didn’t work out because I was female,” said Starks. She had to innovate by recruiting (招聘) internationally, via telephone. The calls attracted players from Sweden to South Africa. During nearly twenty years in her charge her former players have differentiated themselves throughout the world including: Sam Puryear, the former Michigan State University golf coach-the first African American in its history, and Robert Dinwiddie, an All-American golfer at TSU and a current member of the European Tour having achieved three continuous Top-10 finishes in South Africa. Starks’ determination really paid off when the T-State Tigers won the National Minority Golf Championship in 2005. And another specialty for her career, ninety percent of the players graduated! 1．Which of the following is NOT a challenge Starks faced in her career? A．Being the team bus driver. B．Doing the laundry for her players. C．Walking to the Black swimming pool. D．Finding places for team practice. 2．What did Starks learn from her mother? A．A positive attitude towards life. B．A strong will to overcome tough situations. C．A willingness to push the limits of her body. D．Her unique coaching style. 3．Starks had a rough start as a golf coach because ________. A．she was African American B．she was a woman coach C．she was suffering asthma D．she was short of experience 4．The achievements of Starks’ players are mentioned to illustrate ________. A．like teacher like student B．education is the key to success C．practice makes perfect D．equality is greater than division 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．B 4．A 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Catana Starks博士凭借决心取得成就，成为首位执教男性大学运动队的非裔美国女性及其相关经历。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段“She had to drive the team bus, wash her players’ golf clothes, and had to constantly find places for her team to practice.(她要开球队的巴士，洗球员的高尔夫球衣，还要不断为球队找练习的地方)”和第三段“I had to walk four miles in Mobile to get to a Black pool.(在莫比尔时，我不得不步行四英里才能到达一个专供黑人使用的游泳池)”可知，她要步行四英里去黑人游泳池游泳，但这是她成长过程中面临的挑战，并非职业生涯中面临的挑战。故选C。 2．推理判断题。根据第二段“Starks credits her strength to one woman in her life — her mother.(斯塔克斯把她的力量归功于她生命中的一个女人——她的母亲)”以及第三段“My mother, she had an almost mystical belief of not being limited by circumstances (我的母亲，她有一种几乎神秘的信念，那就是不被环境所限制)”可推知，斯塔克斯从母亲那里学到了克服困境的坚强意志。故选B。 3．细节理解题。根据第四段“After getting the men’s golf coach job, Starks couldn’t find golfers. None of the males on campus would play. “Originally that didn’t work out because I was female,” said Starks.(在得到男子高尔夫教练的工作后，斯塔克斯找不到高尔夫球手。校园里的男性都不愿意打高尔夫球。“最初这行不通是因为我是女性，”斯塔克斯说)”可知，斯塔克斯刚开始担任高尔夫教练时很艰难，这是因为她是女性教练。故选B。 4．推理判断题。根据最后一段“During nearly twenty years in her charge her former players have differentiated themselves throughout the world including: Sam Puryear, the former Michigan State University golf coach-the first African American in its history, and Robert Dinwiddie, an All-American golfer at TSU and a current member of the European Tour having achieved three continuous Top-10 finishes in South Africa. Starks’ determination really paid off when the T-State Tigers won the National Minority Golf Championship in 2005. And another specialty for her career, ninety percent of the players graduated!(在她执教的近20年里，她的前球员们在世界各地都崭露头角，包括：萨姆·普里尔，前密歇根州立大学高尔夫教练，该校历史上第一位非裔美国人；罗伯特·丁威迪，田纳西州立大学的全美高尔夫球手，欧洲巡回赛的现役成员，在南非连续三次进入前十名。2005年，当T州立大学老虎队赢得全国少数民族高尔夫锦标赛时，斯塔克斯的决心真的得到了回报。她职业生涯的另一个特点是，90%的球员都毕业了！)”可推知，斯塔克斯的球员们取得了辉煌的成就，这说明了“有什么样的老师就有什么样的学生”或者“名师出高徒”。故选A。 主题03 人与社会——其他著名人物 Passage 1 （24-25高一下·江苏连云港·期末） It has been 750 years since the Italy’s famous traveler Marco Polo first entered China. Over two years ago, a woman in her 70s, a follower of Marco Polo, retraced her footsteps along the Silk Road. After more than 850 days, travelling 14 countries across Eurasia, and covering 22,000 kilometers, some have called this Italian traveler, Vienna Cammarota, the “Marco Polo of the New Era”. In 2024, Cammarota arrived in China with The Travels of Marco Polo in hand. On August 29, “Vienna’s Journey to China’s Silk Road” officially kicked off in Kashi, Northwest China’s Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. Starting from Xinjiang, Cammarota will follow the ancient Silk Road. “I have personally experienced the connection, inheritance, and creation between the ancient Silk Road and the modern Belt and Road Initiative. Through the exchange of culture and goods, people from all over the world are striving to break geographic barriers and create new prosperity, ultimately achieving cultural exchange and mutual (相互的) learning,” Cammarota said. She hopes to measure China’s land with her own feet and share her insights on China with the world. Cammarota carries an old, well-read copy of The Travels of Marco Polo with her and writes down her observations in its blank spaces along the way. During her journey, Cammarota habitually compares her experiences with the details recorded in The Travels of Marco Polo. She mentioned that the book describes vast cotton fields near Kashi. As she walked on the road to the Aksu Prefecture in Xinjiang, it was a harvest season, and endless cotton fields stretched as far as the eye could see, filling her with joy. Cammarota’s journey in China has just begun. 1．What happened to Vienna Cammarota on August 29, 2024? A．She started to cross Eurasia. B．She celebrated her 70th birthday.

(8 月 29 日，“维也纳的中国丝绸之路之旅”在中国西北部的新疆维吾尔自治区喀什正式启动。)”可知，2024年8月29日，Vienna Cammarota的中国丝绸之路之旅在新疆喀什正式启动，即她抵达喀什。故选D项。 2．细节理解题。根据第三段“She hopes to measure China’s land with her own feet and share her insights on China with the world. (她希望用自己的双脚丈量中国的土地，并与世界分享她对中国的见解。)”可知，Cammarota此行的目的是用脚步丈量中国土地，并向世界分享她对中国丝绸之路的见解。故选D项。 3．推理判断题。根据第三段“I have personally experienced the connection, inheritance, and creation between the ancient Silk Road and the modern Belt and Road Initiative. (我亲身感受到了古代丝绸之路与现代“一带一路”倡议之间的关联、传承与创新。)”可知，Cammarota从亲身经历中感受到古代丝绸之路与现代“一带一路”倡议的关联与传承，即古今丝绸之路在促进交流方面的功能具有相似性。故选C项。 4．主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“some have called this Italian traveler, Vienna Cammarota, the “Marco Polo of the New Era”. (有人称这位意大利旅行者Vienna Cammarota为新时代的马可・波罗)”可知，将Cammarota称为“新时代马可・波罗”，全文围绕她重走丝绸之路的旅程展开，强调其追随马可・波罗足迹的意义。B选项Cammarota：重走丝绸之路的新“马可・波罗”既点明人物身份，又概括核心事件，最适合作为标题。故选B项。 Passage 2 （24-25高一下·江苏常州·期末） Wei Yuansong is the director of the Laboratory of Water Pollution Control Technology. In his office drawer is a thank-you letter written by an entire Sri Lankan village, containing memories of a decade-long fight against a killer, Kidney (肾) Disease, which had troubled villagers for years because of their lack of safe drinking water. Wei says that his connection to Sri Lanka began in August 2013, when he received an email about collaboration (合作) on water treatment to address Kidney Disease, which was a major public health issue in Sri Lanka, with over 40,000 people affected by the disease since the mid-1990s. In 2016, then Sri Lankan President referred to it as a “national disaster” that was affecting 20,828 patients and causing 5,000 deaths a year. In August 2014, Wei made his first visit to Sri Lanka to start an arduous research journey with Weragoda, a Sri Lanka scientist. Each day, they traveled for hours along rough roads deep into the affected areas, and paid home visits to villagers. They were greeted with cold shoulders. “Many local residents thought that the Chinese, like others, were there to write papers, not to sincerely help them,” Wei says. The two scientists had to hold difficult conversations to win their trust, but were eventually welcomed to take extremely important samples (样本) for their research. Following some research and detailed discussions between the two sides, a deal was inked in March 2015, enabling joint research into the causes of Kidney Disease and-drinking water safety. Since then, Wei has frequented Sri Lanka with other Chinese scientists to conduct thorough research into water treatment solutions suitable for local conditions. Local residents now trust Chinese scientists wholeheartedly. Villagers with kidney disease say they haven’t had to go to hospital for years thanks to the help of Chinese scientists. This July, Wei attended a research workshop at the JRDC． “This is my 31st trip to Sri Lanka. We aim to bring more benefits to the Sri Lankan people through scientific cooperation,” he said. 1．Why did the villagers write a thank-you letter to Wei Yuansong? A．For his help with water treatment. B．For his research on public health. C．For his contribution to their economy. D．For his efforts to fight Kidney Disease. 2．What does the underlined word “arduous” mean in Paragraph 3? A．Time-consuming. B．Difficult. C．Ground-breaking. D．Dangerous. 3．What was the first reaction of the villagers to the Chinese scientists? A．They were excited. B．They were surprised. C．They were worried. D．They were uninterested. 4．Which of the following can best describe Wei Yuansong? A．Curious and professional. B．Patient and adventurous. C．Devoted and determined. D．Thoughtful and enthusiastic. 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．D 4．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了魏源送帮助斯里兰卡村民对抗肾病，通过科研合作带来积极影响的故事。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段“In his office drawer is a thank-you letter written by an entire Sri Lankan village, containing memories of a decade-long fight against a killer, Kidney (肾) Disease, which had troubled villagers for years because of their lack of safe drinking water.(在他的办公室抽屉里，有一封由整个斯里兰卡村庄写的感谢信，信中回忆了长达十年的与一种致命疾病——肾病的斗争，由于缺乏安全的饮用水，这种疾病多年来一直困扰着村民)”可知，村民们给魏源送写感谢信是为了感谢他在对抗肾病方面做出的努力。故选D项。 2．词句猜测题。根据第三段“Each day, they traveled for hours along rough roads deep into the affected areas, and paid home visits to villagers. They were greeted with cold shoulders.(每天，他们沿着崎岖的道路行驶数小时，深入受影响地区，并到村民家中探访。但他们遭到了冷遇)”可知，魏源送和Weragoda的科研之旅是很艰难的，由此可推知arduous的意思是“艰难的”，与Difficult意义相近。故选B项。 3．细节理解题。根据第三段“They were greeted with cold shoulders. “Many local residents thought that the Chinese, like others, were there to write papers, not to sincerely help them,” Wei says.(他们遭到了冷遇。“许多当地居民认为，中国人和其他人一样，是来写论文的，而不是真心想帮助他们，”魏说)”可知，村民们最初认为中国人不是真心帮助他们，对中国科学家的反应是不感兴趣的。故选D项。 4．推理判断题。根据最后一段“This July, Wei attended a research workshop at the JRDC. “This is my 31st trip to Sri Lanka. We aim to bring more benefits to the Sri Lankan people through scientific cooperation,” he said.(今年7月，魏参加了在JRDC举办的一个研究研讨会。“这是我第31次去斯里兰卡。我们的目标是通过科学合作为斯里兰卡人民带来更多利益，”他说)”以及前文描述魏源送多次前往斯里兰卡进行科研合作，帮助当地村民对抗肾病，可推知，魏源送是敬业且坚定的。故选C项。 主题04 人与社会——善行义举 Passage 1 （24-25高一下·江苏南通·期末） At 90 years old, Barby Keel is proving that compassion (同情心) knows no age limit. Over the past 54 years, she has devoted her life to rescuing animals in need — saving an estimated 10,000 from neglect, abuse, and abandonment through the Barby Keel Animal Shelter in Sussex, England. What started with a simple favor in the 1970s — caring for a soldier’s dog while he was stationed in Northern Ireland — turned into a lifelong mission. The dog never left, and soon Barby was asked to take in a few cats. Decades later, her shelter now spreads 12acres and is home to more than 600 animals. Barby spent the first 20 years running the shelter entirely on her own, and today she is supported by a devoted team of volunteers. Despite having faced cancer three times, she still wakes at 7 a.m. every day to care for her beloved animals and says she “never” takes a day off. “Some days I am tired out — it’s hard work,” she said. “But then I get a little nose touch or a face look up at me, and I remember why I’m doing this. My animals come first and always will.” Today, the shelter is a nonprofit that relies entirely on public donations. It recently reopened to the public and welcomes visitors every Sunday through October 2025, free of charge. Guests can meet the animals, visit the café and gift shop, and learn more about the lives that have been saved. Barby also uses her own pension (养老金) to buy amounts of pet food, which she resells at low prices to help struggling pet owners. “I’m so thankful for my brilliant team of volunteers and all the kind people who support us,” she said. “I know I can’t do everything anymore, but I still get up early to feed the cats and check on them all. It’s a lovely life.” Her secret to staying strong? “Hard work and a breakfast of beans every morning.” 1．What originally made Barby set up the animal shelter? A．Her wish to make friends. B．Her desire to gain reputation. C．Her promise to look after a dog. D．Her intention to raise pet animals. 2．Why does Barby continue her work despite the challenges? A．The shelter needs donations. B．She hopes to treat her disease. C．She wants to earn more money. D．The love for animals inspires her. 3．Which of the following can best describe Barby? A．Selfless and determined. B．Strict and intelligent. C．Generous and knowledgeable. D．Honest and innovative. 4．What does the writer intend to tell us? A．Volunteers are essential for animal shelters. B．Running an animal shelter is extremely difficult. C．Many animals are suffering from bad conditions. D．Age does not limit one’s ability to make a difference. 【答案】1．C 2．D 3．A 4．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了90岁的Barby Keel过去54年致力于拯救需要帮助的动物，她的动物收容所救助了约10000只动物，尽管面临挑战，她仍因对动物的爱坚持工作。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段中“What started with a simple favor in the 1970s — caring for a soldier’s dog while he was stationed in Northern Ireland — turned into a lifelong mission.(上世纪70年代，一个简单的帮忙——在一名士兵驻扎北爱尔兰期间照顾他的狗——变成了一项终身使命)”可知，Barby最初是因为答应照顾一只狗，后来才逐渐发展建立了动物收容所。故选C项。 2．细节理解题。根据第三段中Barby的话“But then I get a little nose touch or a face look up at me, and I remember why I’m doing this. My animals come first and always will.(但当我感受到它们用鼻子蹭我或者抬头看着我时，我就想起我为什么要做这件事。我的动物永远是第一位的)”可知，Barby对动物的爱激励着她尽管面临挑战仍继续工作。故选D项。 3．推理判断题。根据第四段中“Barby also uses her own pension (养老金) to buy amounts of pet food, which she resells at low prices to help struggling pet owners.(Barby还用自己的养老金购买大量宠物食品，然后以低价转售给经济困难的宠物主人)”可知，她无私地帮助他人，体现了她的无私。再根据第三段中“Despite having faced cancer three times, she still wakes at 7 a.m. every day to care for her beloved animals and says she “never” takes a day off.(尽管三次患癌，她仍然每天早上7点起床照顾她心爱的动物，并且说她“从不”休假)”可知，她不顾自身困难坚持照顾动物，体现了她的坚定。所以Barby是无私且坚定的。故选A项。 4．推理判断题。文章开篇点明“At 90 years old, Barby Keel is proving that compassion (同情心) knows no age limit.(90岁的Barby Keel证明了同情心没有年龄限制)”，奠定了全文的主旨基调。接着详细叙述了Barby从上世纪70年代一个简单的照顾狗的举动开始，逐步将其发展成终身使命，建立起动物收容所，救助了约10000只动物。她独自经营收容所20年，即便三次患癌，依然每天早起照顾动物。她还拿出自己的养老金帮助有困难的宠物主人。这些具体事例都充分展示了尽管Barby年事已高，但她在拯救动物、奉献爱心这件事上从未退缩，一直在积极行动并做出巨大贡献。由此可见，作者通过讲述Barby的故事，旨在传达年龄并不能限制一个人发挥自身能力、为社会和他人做出积极贡献的观点。所以“Age does not limit one’s ability to make a difference.(年龄并不能限制一个人做出贡献的能力)”最能概括作者的写作意图。故选D项。 Passage 2 （24-25高一下·江苏镇江·期末） Jen Miller isn’t your typical librarian, because she’s also a TikTok star. There are dozens of books placed on top of her shelves, waiting to be processed and shelved or to have their spines (书脊) and covers repaired. She’ll broadcast that process for her more than 450,000 followers once the school day ends.

There’s an everyday appeal to Miller’s content, which resonates (共鸣) with many viewers nostalgic (怀旧的) for their school days.

Miller said commenters have repeatedly referred to her as a “comfort creator,” a view she considers as “the highest praise ever.” Some viewers have been inspired to support their favorite LibraryTok personalities offline. Miller started the “Library Love” series to feature different librarians seeking donations for items like picture books, desks and cleaning supplies. Her followers bought out the entire wishlists of seven libraries, she said.
