专题02 阅读理解（记叙文） 主题01 人与自我——生活与学习 Passage 1 （24-25高一下·安徽滁州·期末） The alarm rang at 6 AM, pulling me from restless sleep, troubled by anxiety about my first day. Bad dreams from last night’s movie and endless questions — What to wear? Who will I sit with? — had left me tired. The train ride to school deepened my worry. Crowded carriages and messy stations contrasted sharply with my welcome day memories of bright flowers and lovely grass. Stepping into the building felt like entering a different world. Morning classes passed smoothly. English class introduced themes and activities, while an occasional look at a flying bird outside the window offered a distraction. By lunchtime, my anxiety about being alone reached its highest point. Though I ate alone, the acceptable pizza and quiet corner felt like “small victories”. Chemistry class brought relief. A pat on my shoulder introduced Samantha, who needed to share my textbook. Our whispered conversations revealed shared interests, ending with exchanged phone numbers. This connection brightened the day. On my way home, the empty train carriage reflected my lifted spirits. Charlie, my childhood friend, listened as I shared the day. His own smooth experience — effortless friendships and easy classes — showed our differences. Falling onto my bed, I let out a deep breath. The cycle would repeat tomorrow, but surviving Day One had brought hopefulness. 1．What mainly caused the author’s morning anxiety? A．Bad dreams. B．Heavy traffic. C．English classes. D．New school life. 2．What do “small victories” in paragraph 3 refer to? A．Finding simple comforts unexpectedly. B．Taking part in the English class actively. C．Discovering a quiet place accidentally. D．Gaining classmates’ attention occasionally. 3．How did Samantha change the author’s day? A．She provided a textbook. B．She shared broad interests. C．She brought a new friendship. D．She saved the telephone number. 4．What can we learn from the last paragraph? A．Charlie was the author’s another new friend. B．The author felt lonely in the empty train carriage. C．Charlie had similar school experiences to the author’s. D．The author gained confidence from the first day’s experiences. Passage 2 （24-25高一下·淮北一中·期末） At 15, I unwillingly joined a mountain-climbing camp in the Rockies. My fear of heights made me freeze, but my parents insisted it would “build character.” On the first morning, our instructor, Sarah, gathered us at the base. “This climb isn’t about speed or strength,” she said. “It’s about listening to your body, the mountain, and your teammates.” I rolled my eyes, convinced that reaching the summit was the only measure of success. My teammate Jake, a confident athlete, dashed ahead, laughing at my cautious pace. “You’re wasting time!” he yelled. By midday, however, his confidence broke. Jake collapsed on a narrow ledge, trembling from thirst and muscle pain. Meanwhile, I adjusted my equipment, sipped water every 15 minutes, and studied the rock formations. When storm clouds darkened the sky, panic struck me. Sarah’s voice echoed in my mind: “Control what you can. Let go of what you can’t.” The final stretch tested everyone. Jake fell behind, humbled and silent. I focused on three-step rhythms: plant, pull, and breathe. At the summit, the wind beat my face as I gazed at the valley below. Jake approached, voice shaky. “I wanted to prove I was the best,” he admitted. “But I forgot to respect the mountain.” That moment reshaped my understanding of growth — it wasn’t about conquering peaks but embracing humility and patience. Years later, as a guide, I teach philosophy at a high school. One student recently asked, “What if I fail?” I smiled. “Failure isn’t falling, it’s refusing to learn why you fell.” Mountains mirror life’s struggles: unpredictable, demanding, yet transformative (能使人改变的). Every struggle and setback carves resilience (适应力)into our stories. The true summit isn’t a physical place — it’s the wisdom we carry back to the world below. 1．What initial attitude did the author have toward the instructor’s advice? A．Enthusiastic. B．Doubtful. C．Supportive. D．Confused. 2．Why did Jake fail to climb the mountain? A．He wanted the author to win. B．He lacked proper equipment. C．He rushed without preparation. D．He had to help other climbers. 3．Which of the following words best describes the author? A．Patiently observant. B．Eagerly ambitious. C．Competitively driven. D．Emotionally attached. 4．What lesson does the author learn from this climbing? A．Winning requires fighting bravely. B．Physical strength guarantees success. C．Teamwork outweighs personal goals. D．Success values steady effort over shortcuts. Passage 3 （23-24高一下·合肥一中·期末） Nilas Corneliussen is the Swedish-born head chef of a Nordic-Asian combination restaurant in Thailand’s capital. While Thailand had long appealed to him, even in his youth, Corneliussen said he never imagined a career in cooking. Instead, he was drawn to Muay Thai, or Thai boxing. During high school breaks, he even traveled alone to Thailand to join Muay Thai training camps. During those trips, he fell in love with the country. After suffering a hand injury while boxing, he was forced to move on from Muay Thai. However, he didn’t stop thinking about Thailand. The very day after graduating from high school in Sweden, Corneliussen booked a one-way ticket to Bangkok and applied for a study visa. It wasn’t until halfway through his studies, from 2010 to 2014, that he was invited to the birthday party of a fellow student and friend, whose parents ran local Thai restaurants. The atmosphere inside the kitchen attracted him — everyone had to come together to make it happen. At the time, Corneliussen didn’t think he could run after his new enthusiasm for cooking in Thailand. Instead, he thought it would be best to go back to his roots and understand the flavors he’d grown up with before cooking anything, so he finished his studies and moved back to Europe. It’s a view he doesn’t agree with today. He thinks now that no cooking style is more important than another. Starting out in a Stockholm restaurant, he improved his skills and finally won the silver in the world’s most famous international cooking competition as part of the Swedish team. Despite the success, he returned to Thailand with his love for cooking arts in 2022. “In Thailand, I get this feeling of belonging and connection to the people, food and culture,” he says, recalling his first days as a foreigner in Thailand. 1．Why did Corneliussen quit practising Muay Thai? A．He was no longer interested in it. B．His hands got injured while boxing. C．He found a new passion for cooking. D．He was forced to leave Thailand. 2．What awakened Corneliussen’s passion for cooking? A．Team work in the kitchen. B．Unique taste of Thai food. C．Recommendation of a Thai friend. D．The inconvenient life in Bangkok. 3．What can be learned about Corneliussen according to the text? A．He showed great interest in cooking when young. B．He was injured when cooking for the first time. C．He considers all cooking styles are of equal importance. D．He thinks his returning to Europe quite a wise decision. 4．What is the text mainly about? A．A Swedish-born head chef in Thailand. B．A Swedish child’s love for Thailand. C．Different cooking styles in the world. D．A Nordic-Asian combination restaurant. Passage 4 （24-25高一下·安徽铜陵·期末） Some people proudly say that they have read piles of books and read them quickly in a year. But there is power in reading slowly. Chinese-American author Yiyun Li tells her students, “I don’t want you to read 100 pages an hour. I want you to read three pages an hour.” That’s the speed Li is happy to read at, even if she is rereading a familiar text. “I want to savour a book, which means I give myself just 10 pages a day of any book to experience it. I was never a fast reader, but I read more slowly than I used to. This is partly to savour every word.” These words hit a nerve because I am a typical impatient reader, trying to finish a book as soon as I start. So, in an effort to follow Li’s advice, I, a forty-year-old man, start with The Years by Annie Ernaux, and Alan Garner’ s Where Shall We Run To? I spend about 45 minutes most days with the Ernaux, reading 30 or so pages; less on Garner because it’s shorter. This is probably still too fast, but old habits are hard to break. I’m struck by how they seem to talk to each other, Garner’s experience of growing up in Britain during the war agreeing with elements of Ernaux’s rural French childhood. The same thing happened with my next Ernaux, I Remain in Darkness, which I read alongside Catherine Newman’s We All Want Impossible Things. I stay longer in Newman’ pain, which feels more like I was sharing her experience. Again, the books, although very different, feel as if they were part of a conversation. By now I’m two months into my experiment, and have slowed down to Li’s 10 or so daily pages. Taking my time with several books at once feels free; as if I have permission to pick up books I’ve spent years meaning to approach. I really think Li is onto something. Oh, and I’m at 85 books for the year, not that I’m counting. 1．What does Yiyun Li advise her students to do? A．Read 100 pages of books daily. B．Focus on writers’ experiences. C．Find joy in the art of slow reading. D．Absorb new words while reading. 2．What was the writer’s reading habit? A．Repeating reading familiar texts. B．Finishing a book as soon as possible. C．Sharing the books with others. D．Reading several books at the same time. 3．What did the writer find when he followed Li’s advice? A．His reading speed was faster than before. B．There might be a bond between books. C．It was easy to break old reading habits. D．Two months was enough to finish a book. 4．What is the writer’s attitude towards savouring a book? A．Favourable. B．Objective. C．Anxious. D．Unclear. Passage 5 （24-25高一下·安徽芜湖·期末） I never thought my love for animals would lead me to a job at the city zoo. Last summer, when I was 16, I went there every weekend just to watch the pandas. One day, as I was drawing them in my notebook, an elderly man in a zoo uniform stopped beside me. “Those are quite good,” he said, pointing to my drawings. “Do you know each panda has unique black areas around their eyes? Like human fingerprints.” I didn’t, but from that moment. Dr. Wilson — the head vet — became my teacher. For the next six weeks, I assisted him every morning. My main task was recording the animals’ behavior: when they ate, how they interacted, even their moods. It wasn’t glamorous work. I cleaned cages, prepared food, and once got sprayed by a very unhappy lemur (狐猴). But I also got to witness a baby giraffe take its first steps and help hand-feed a sick koala. The most valuable lesson came unexpectedly. One afternoon, Dr. Wilson let me observe a routine checkup on the oldest tiger. When the tiger suddenly growled (低吼), I jumped back in fear. “Animals sense your energy,” Dr. Wilson said calmly. “Respect them, but don’t show fear. They’ll mirror what you give them.” On my last day, the zoo staff surprised me with a “Junior Zookeeper” certificate (证书). Dr. Wilson wrote on it: “To the girl who sees more than just animals — she sees individuals.” Now when I visit, the pandas still chew their bamboo lazily, but I notice new details: how the youngest one always saves the tenderest (最嫩的) parts for last, just like I used to save the best candy in my Halloween bag. 1．What was the author’s major task in the zoo? A．Drawing pictures of zoo visitors. B．Hand-feeding baby giraffes. C．Helping with medical checkups. D．Recording animals’ daily habits. 2．The underlined word “glamorous” in Paragraph 3 most likely means ________. A．Tiring and boring B．Exciting and attractive C．Dangerous and difficult D．Simple and ordinary 3．What did Dr. Wilson teach the author about working with animals? A．Showing fear sometimes helps build trust with animals. B．Young animals require more attention than adults. C．Staying relaxed and respectful helps earn animals’ respect. D．Animals can understand human language if spoken calmly. 4．Which of the following sentences best describes the author in the passage? A．The early bird catches the worm. B．Respect opens hidden wonders. C．All good things come to those who wait. D．You can’t judge a book by its cover. Passage 6 （24-25高一下·皖豫名校联盟·期末） A British driver, Billy Monger, was just 17 when he had an accident in a Formula 4 race, losing his legs as a result of the serious injuries. In a second, the teenager was facing a very different future. But Monger, who is now 25, refused to be defeated. In October last year, Monger broke the world record for the fastest double amputee(被截肢者)to complete an IRONMAN at the World Championship, which is considered as one of the hardest endurance(耐力)events in the world. The athlete, who also works as a racing expert, took on the challenge with the goal of raising money for a non-profit organization which aims to fight global hunger and improve living conditions. It’s perhaps obvious, when you consider the distances, that this event is not something you can simply walk into unprepared. For Monger, this was the result of a full year of training that taught him to deal with the difficult situation. With the help of expert trainers that become almost part of his close family, Monger trained nearly every day to get his body and mind in the best possible condition. Being a double amputee, Monger faced a far more challenging preparation than most others. Running, for example, put huge pressure on his broken legs, so it was important that his prosthetics(假肢)fitted perfectly, or pain and soreness could possibly make him give up. Then came the cycle, where Monger decided to ride a pushbike rather than a handbike. It meant the former racing driver had to learn the basics over again. After his record-breaking achievement, Monger said he has set his sights firmly on the Los Angeles Paralympics in 2028, where he hopes to compete for Great Britain in the para-triathlon. Whatever he does next, though, being a role model and providing support to others will remain Monger’s main goal. 1．What’s Monger’s purpose in joining in the IRONMAN World Championship? A．To collect contributions for a good cause. B．To prove his ability to drive race cars. C．To prepare for the Paralympics. D．To test his new prosthetic legs. 2．Why was Monger’s training especially difficult? A．His preparations fell short. B．He had to train alone without any support. C．He had never done endurance sports before. D．His prosthetic legs made running and cycling harder. 3．What can be expected of Monger in the future? A．He may leave the sports field completely. B．He will follow the footsteps of his role models. C．He will hold on to his dreams while helping others. D．He hopes to coach those sharing the same experience. 4．Which words can best describe Monger? A．Tough-minded and inspiring. B．Kind-hearted and creative. C．Lucky and generous. D．Independent and skilled. 主题02 人与社会——社会与文化 Passage 1 （24-25高一下·安徽宣城·期末） Sandoval, who comes from Los Angeles, has traveled and filmed in over 50 countries across seven continents and now lives in China. “In 2008, tired of my studio work in the U.S, I came to China, with the hope of trying something different for myself,” he said. Sandoval is a professional photographer and he went to Chengdu in Southwest China to live in October 2008 and has traveled throughout the country since then. To him, Chengdu is the capital of a laid-back lifestyle. He was delighted to see that residents, dressed stylishly or comfortably, strolled in the streets “as slowly as snails”. Almost a “walking encyclopedia” of Chengdu, Sandoval covered every corner of Chengdu and recorded Chengduese and their lives with his camera, listening to the sound of mahjong being played and music from traditional stringed instruments. He also goes from place to place with his heavy travel kit. The various culture and vast, beautiful land has kept him in China much longer than he had planned in the beginning. He remembers a wide range of adventures like exploring a local vineyard and local wine in Yinchuan City, a riding performance by a Mongolian ethnic group in the Shuidonggou Horse Riding Show, and then the totally different experience of visiting the Hainan Free Trade Port in the south. He thinks he has done a lot in “this beautiful and vast country” with his “travel photos”. “I try to show people the beauty of where I go. I try to inspire them to travel and go to places. I’m hoping to do more international work,” he said. 1．Why did Sandoval come to China in 2008? A．He was not good at studio work in the U. S. B．He wanted to seek for something different.

Passage 2 （24-25高一下·安徽庐江·期末） On any given day, you can find most 10-year-old boys throwing a ball around outside, riding bikes or playing video games. But Braden Baker is different. Braden is a hearing-damaged 5th-grader and has to wear hearing aids (助听器). Unluckily, Braden’s dog Chewy found his hearing aids on the floor and destroyed them, not once but twice, and they had to be replaced. But at $3,500to $6,000 a pair, Braden’s carelessness was costly. Braden’s mother, Ashley, sat Braden down and had a long talk about taking better care of his hearing aids, explaining how much they cost.“I told him that he was lucky to get another pair and that some people couldn’t afford a new pair, ”Ashley said. Those words stuck in Braden’s mind, who realized not every child who needed hearing aids could afford them. Recently, the 10-year-old boy decided to start a GoFundMe page to raise money for those who aren’t so lucky. Braden made a video to explain why he wanted to raise money. Ashley said, “We weren’t sure how it would turn out. He began with a goal of $1,000.We woke up the next morning and found it had raised $400.” This encouraged him to start making more videos. Fast-forward a few months and Braden’s GoFundMe page has raised over $15,000, which Braden donated to the Oticon Hearing Foundation. That money will be used to help other families buy hearing aids for their children. The project has not only taught Braden the value of money, but according to his mom, “he’s learned that if you put a small idea into action, amazing things can happen.” Braden’s advice to those looking for ways to give back to others is “Don’t give up! Any small idea can get really big.” 1．Why did Braden have to change his hearing aids? A．He lost his old hearing aids carelessly. B．He wanted a better pair of hearing aids.

Passage 3 （24-25高一下·合肥六中·期末） Annie Smith, 32, went into labor as floodwaters from Hurricane Harvey surrounded her apartment. With the roads underwater, the two-mile drive to the hospital was impossible. Annie and her husband, Greg, both doctors, began preparing for a home birth. Greg rushed to gather supplies — scissors, sewing needles — while his mother boiled water to sterilize (消毒) them. “I’m really starting to get scared now,” Annie told Greg as the reality set in. A neighbor, checking on the Smiths, sent an email to their apartment complex’s message board asking for help. Within 30 minutes, at least 15 people showed up, including medical trainees from the complex. Meanwhile, the couple had been continuously dialing 911 but never got an answer. Finally, a call to the director of Annie’s fellowship program led to action. The director’s father, who lived near a fire station, walked there to explain the situation. Around noon, a rescue truck arrived. By then, the water had reached to a formidable level that the vehicle couldn’t get close. The Smiths’ neighbors and firefighters formed a human chain to help Annie Smith to the back of the flatbed truck. “I held onto them one person at a time,” she said, moving on her hands and knees along their arms until she reached the ladder safely. She sat on a blanket in the truck, a shower curtain over her head, as they drove through the flood. The Smiths arrived at Texas Children’s Hospital about 15 minutes later. An hour later, their daughter Adrielle was born, weighing 7 pounds, 6 ounces. The couple, exhausted but relieved, appreciated the neighbors and firemen who had come to their aid. “It was absolutely incredible how many people responded and were out in the rain trying to help us,” Annie said. 1．Why did the Smiths at first prepare for a home birth?

Passage 4 （23-24高一下·安徽霍山·期末） Ryan Finley is a sketch (素描) card artist for Topps and a visual arts instructor at Beck Center for the Arts in Lakewood, Ohio. Ryan and his 10-year-old daughter, Keira, recently showed their artistic talents at a Beck Center exhibition. The exhibition “Side by Side” includes the pair’s artistic interpretations (诠释) of the same characters and scenes. I first met the Finleys when I was a student in Ryan’s cartooning class. Keira, now a fourth grader, has been creating art since she was a young child. “She was always next to me, lying on the ground drawing,” Ryan recalled. Keira’s love for art continued, and she became a student in Ryan’s class at Beck. The best part of “Side by Side” was having friends and classmates come to see the exhibit, Keira said. “I loved walking around with my dad and talking to everybody.” Keira told local news media that she’d love art even if her dad had a different career. “If my dad wasn’t an artist,” she said, “I’d still probably be doing this.” Ryan’s interest in art also began in childhood. “I’d always be drawing when I wasn’t supposed to be,” he told me. “I’d get notes all the time saying, ‘You need to focus more on your study.’” That passion never left him. “In high school, I took every art class you could possibly take,” he said. Before becoming a Star Wars sketch artist for Topps, Ryan had other jobs, including working as a street artist. When asked what he liked best about his job, Ryan didn’t hesitate. “Surely the art show I just had with Keira,” he said. “It’s hard to even put into words. It’s pretty touching.” Ryan also loves working with his students. “I do my best to make sure that they’re having fun with what they’re doing,” he said. “My favorite part is seeing the growth of my students.” 1．What do we know about “Side by Side”?

She had lived in shelters and in parks but never in a permanent residence for more than a few months. She had been laughed at by students at a dozen schools who considered her “different”. Homeless since early childhood, Liz struggled all her life to hide her circumstances from teachers and fellow students. However, academics proved to be a way for her to find confidence in herself again. For instance, at the age of 9, she placed in the 99th percentile on a state exam, and her teacher Oprah told her she was “gifted”. From that moment forward, Liz decided to do whatever it took to keep herself in that category. “I was so proud of being smart and I never wanted people to say, ‘You got the easy way out because you’re homeless, ‘” she said“ I never saw it as an excuse. ” By the second year of high school, she realized that she could not succeed in getting the education she dreamed of without getting help to go beyond what her current school could offer. She talked to teachers who helped her apply for summer community college classes and scholarships. And in 11th grade, when she enrolled at Jefferson High School, she decided to complete the rest of her school career there—a decision that meant taking a bus each morning at 4 a. m. and not getting home until 11 p.m. Her perseverance and hard work paid off, however. When she poured the story of her life into her Harvard University college application, she was accepted. Once Liz felt ready to tell her story, it won her notice not only from college admissions boards but also from the news media. Now as a successful student at Harvard, Liz continues to use the lessons of her extraordinary life to help and inspire other students. 1．What made Liz different in the eyes of her classmates according to paragraph 1? A．Her talent. B．Her hard work. C．Her homelessness. D．Her school performance. 2．How did Liz rebuild her confidence? A．By settling in a permanent home. B．By getting help from her teachers.

Passage 2 （24-25高一下·安徽安庆·期末） We journalists, live in a new age of storytelling, with many new multimedia tools. Many young people don’t even realize it’s new. For them, it’s just normal. This hit home for me as I was sitting with my 2-year-old grandson on a sofa over the Spring Festival holiday. I had brought a children’s book to read. It had simple words and colorful pictures — a perfect match for his age. Picture this: my grandson sitting on my lap as I hold the book in front so he can see the pictures. As I read, he reaches out and pokes (戳) the page with his finger. What’s up with that? He just likes the pictures, I thought. Then I turned the page and continued. He poked the page even harder. I nearly dropped the book. I was confused: Is there something wrong with this kid? Then I realized what was happening. He was actually a stranger to books. His father frequently amused the boy with a tablet computer which was loaded with colorful pictures that come alive when you poke them. He thought my storybook was like that. Sorry, kid. This book is not part of your high-tech world. It’s an outdated, lifeless thing. An antique, like your grandfather. Well, I may be old, but I’m not hopelessly challenged, digitally speaking. I edit video and produce audio. I use mobile payment. I’ve even built websites. There’s one notable gap in my new-media experience, however: I’ve spent little time in front of a camera, since I have a face made for radio. But that didn’t stop China Daily from asking me last week to share a personal story for a video project about the integration of Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei province. Anyway, grandpa is now an internet star — two minutes of fame! I promise not to let it go to my head. But I will make sure my 2-year-old grandson sees it on his tablet. 1．What do the underlined words “hit home for me” mean in paragraph 2? A．Provided shelter for me. B．Became very clear to me. C．Took the pressure off me. D．Worked quite well on me. 2．Why did the kid poke the storybook? A．He took it for a tablet computer. B．He disliked the colorful pictures. C．He was angry with his grandpa. D．He wanted to read it by himself. 3．What does the author think of himself? A．Socially ambitious. B．Physically attractive. C．Financially independent. D．Digitally competent. 4．What can we learn about the author as a journalist? A．He lacks experience in his job. B．He seldom appears on television. C．He manages a video department. D．He often interviews internet stars. Passage 3 （24-25高一下·安徽宣城·期末） In the seventh grade, I realized I was dyslexic, which made it difficult for me to read and spell. I did really badly in my history course, so my mother said to me, “I’ll work with you for a full week. I’m going to show you what you can do if you put in the right amount of effort.” So we did. We worked on history for a full week, an extra hour every day. But I still failed the test as always. By the time I got to college, things didn’t get better. I would wait in registration lines all day to sign up for extra courses. Then I would go around the first day of class and ask each professor: “What’s your policy on misspelling?” If he said, “Three misspellings is a fail,” I’d drop it. Although I was an academic failure, I had a great time. I had many friends and I was always popular. I was a good football player. I never had a day when I would think “People don’t like me.” In spite of my obvious weaknesses, I became successful in my career, so much so that people say to me, “So you’ve overcome dyslexia.” No. I don’t overcome it. I just learn to compensate for it. Some easy things are hard for me. Most people read 500 words a minute. I only read 200. I try not to dial a phone because I sometimes have to dial three times to get the number right. I owe my successful career to my writing instructor, Ralph Salisbury. He looked past my misspellings and gave me encouragement. So I always feel confident. The real fear that I have for dyslexic people is not that they have to struggle with their reading skills or that they can’t spell correctly, but that they will quit on themselves before they get out of school. 1．When the author did badly in the course, what did his mother do?

I am from Isla de Maipo, Chile. I live with my dad, my mom and a rabbit happily. But I was born with a cleft lip (唇裂). I don’t remember anything about my first years with my cleft lip. All I know is that when I was young, my parents found Fundación Gantz in Santiago, where I had been for free treatment. Every time I went to Fundación Gantz, my heart was full of thanks to my parents. It was not easy to arrive on time for the medical examination. We had to get up at six in the morning to drive for more than an hour and be careful not to get hit by other cars, but my parents never complained about such busy and tiring days. Doctors at Fundación Gantz helped me a lot. First, they healed my cleft lip. Then, with orthodontic treatment (正畸治疗), they managed to correct my bite, and later they performed an operation on my jawbone. I thank the doctors there who treated me, and Dr. Angus is my favorite — he has known me since I was born. When I was in the waiting room waiting for my operation on my jawbone, I was sweating all over in fear. Dr. Angus came to my side and talked to me endlessly about the things I was interested in, such as Kayros’ music and Bolano’s books, making me feel relaxed. In the past, before the treatment, I had no confidence, and children made jokes on my cleft lip at school. I started training in Taekwondo (跆拳道) at the age of four in a gym next to my kindergarten and it was just what I needed at that time. It changed me and the children around me — before, children played tricks on me, but later they respected me. Today, when people talk about something on my lip, I will tell them the little mark never bothers me because it is so small that it can hardly be seen. I want to tell the medical experts at Gantz to keep it up because their work is admirable, and they help a lot of people in need. 1．Which of the following can best describe the author’s parents? A．Selfless. B．Impatient. C．Fair. D．Outgoing. 2．How did Dr. Angus help the author reduce her fear of the operation? A．He read to her. B．He talked about interesting things with her. C．He played music for her. D．He changed her operation plan. 3．How did Taekwondo change the 4-year-old author? A．It made her school time colorful. B．It built her confidence. C．It improved her school performances. D．It prepared her for her future career. 4．What does the underlined word “something” refer to in paragraph 6? A．The color. B．The cost. C．The operation. D．The mark. Passage 5 （23-24高一下·安徽滁州·期末） It was a rainy, damp December day. I was headed to the store to pick up another week’s worth of food. I had put off shopping for Christmas presents until later in the month but wasn’t looking forward to the crowd of Christmas shoppers while I grabbed my groceries. I kept the CD player on while I drove to avoid the radio news. It only spoke of the world’s huge problems and how divided we all still were. And it usually just left me feeling helpless. Still, I gave my son a dollar to put in the bell-ringer’s pot at the door to the store. We went in and soon filled our cart with food. Then we walked towards the self-checkout machines. I hated using them. I much preferred to chat with the friendly cashiers, but the line at them was five deep and I just didn’t have the time. As I pulled my cart up, I heard an old man at the machine next to mine grumbling (嘟囔) under his breath, trying his hardest not to curse(诅咒). He only had a few items but every time he put his wrinkled, well-worn, twenty-dollar bill into the machine, the money was returned. I quickly grabbed a newer twenty out of my purse and gave it to him. He thanked me with a warm smile and paid for his goods. I told him to keep his money but he insisted that I take his old, torn twenty. I nodded, put it in my coat pocket, and wished him a Merry Christmas. After checking out, I remembered something Mother Teresa had once said about how we all can change the world. “Help one person at a time,” she said, “and always start with the person nearest you.” I reached into my pocket, smiled, and went outside. Then I dropped that torn twenty into the bell-ringer’s pot and walked to my car with my son happily. 1．Why did the author feel helpless? A．Radio provided unreliable news. B．There was always a Christmas rush. C．People were disconnected from each other. D．Christmas was ruined by the terrible weather. 2．How did the author help the old man? A．By paying for his shopping items. B．By exchanging a newer note with him. C．By teaching him how to use the machine. D．By calling out the friendly cashier in time. 3．Why did the author give twenty dollars to the bell-ringer? A．She wanted to pursue Mother Teresa’s ideas. B．She desired to spread Mother Teresa’s words. C．She expected to set a good example to her son. D．She hoped to have a meaningful day with her son. 4．What’s the best title for the text? A．A Better World B．The Person Nearest You C．The Christmas Spirit D．A Twenty-Dollar Bill 主题02 人与自我——生活与学习 Passage 1 （24-25高一下·安徽宿州·期末） My wife Hannah and I don’t usually keep houseplants. Anything in pots gets either overwatered or underwatered. But after my diagnosis (诊断) with brain cancer, I loved the idea of having something new and green around. My friend Mitch gave me what he said was a lucky bamboo plant in a deep-green pot. I told Hannah I wanted to care for the plant myself. The cancer limited my ability to walk, and the treatment made it hard for me to accomplish everyday tasks. Tending to the plant gave me a sense of accomplishment at a time when I sometimes felt useless. Over the next few months, I recovered from an operation. Even after I returned to work, I continued to care for the plant. Soon, it had nearly doubled in height and its leaves were shiny and lush (茂盛). Both the tree and I were thriving. Then, surprisingly, it began to show signs of stress. I increased my watering, then decreased it. I fed it commercial plant food. No matter what I did, the leaves kept browning and dropping to the floor. I grew more and more frustrated. “I can’t even care for a simple plant!” I yelled. “I’m failing!” Hannah reminded me that we’d seen houseplants die before. She asked me why I was getting so worked up about this particular one. “If my lucky bamboo dies,” I blurted out (脱口而出), “I might die too!” Now that the tree was struggling, I felt increasingly fearful. Its browning leaves, I worried, might signal the recurrence of my brain cancer. Sunk in thought, I realized I had wrongly connected my careful nurturing of the plant—something over which I had at least some control—with my own survival—something over which I had no control. As my anxiety lessened, I began to learn online guides to help me figure out how to care for my plant. Following the instructions, I transplanted the tree to a larger pot, untangling its roots to give it room to grow. When it was back in the sunny window, we both began to thrive again. 1．What can we learn about the bamboo plant? A．It was Hannah that cared for the bamboo. B．The writer showed no interest in the bamboo. C．The bamboo gave the writer a sense of accomplishment. D．The leaves of bamboo kept dropping to the floor because of lack of water. 2．What is the meaning of the underlined word? A．harmful B．fast-growing C．scared D．deadly 3．Why was the author so frightened after seeing the leaves fall to the ground? A．The plant was a gift from his best friend. B．He didn’t want to see the plant die like before. C．The plant had become a symbol of his own threatening health. D．His wife did not understand his special feelings for this plant. 4．Which can be a suitable title for the text? A．My lucky bamboo B．My wife and bamboo C．The benefits of keeping bamboo D．The way to keep bamboo Passage 2 （24-25高一下·安徽滁州·期末） As soon as the words left my mouth, I knew I’d made a mistake. “You think Jane Austen is ...soft?” the man opposite me asked in disbelief. Then, he and his colleague took turns to challenge my claim, finishing each other’s sentences as they stressed that Austen’s novels were, in fact, savage. “I just mean…” I said in a bright voice, trying to keep the tone light, “that she’s not as biting as Virginia Woolf.” The two professors battled this idea around, too, like a couple of cats toying with a frightened bird giving specific examples of how Austen’s work was, on the contrary, more biting than Woolf’s. With no more defensive action to take, I simply smiled and said, “Let’s just agree to disagree, shall we?” And at that moment, my dreams of going to Oxford University disappeared in a puff of smoke. Part of my problem, was a lack of confidence. Even though I was a straight A student and had prepared for the interview to the best of my ability, I wasn’t a skilled debater. When faced with two experts who told me that I was wrong, instead of defending myself, I rolled over and accepted defeat. To pass the interview, you need more than confidence, of course. You also need a burning passion for your subject, not just a strong interest. In other words, don’t put comments on your personal statement that you’re not prepared to back up in person. Unfortunately, I made the error. So, months later, I already knew the contents of my thin envelope when it appeared on my doormat. Naturally, I felt a pang of disappointment. But, looking back, that wasn’t necessarily a bad thing. Instead of going to Oxford, I found a university that was a better fit for my interests. I loved my eclectic (兼容并蓄的) course, where I could write an essay comparing Jane Eyre to 50 Shades of Grey. Failing my Oxford interview also provided a valuable life lesson. I’m now more confident in my opinions, more passionate when it comes to debate, and I try to back up my points with hard evidence. What’s more, I have never since ended a discussion by giving a simpering smile (傻笑) and saying, “Let’s just agree to disagree, shall we?” 1．What does the underline word “savage” mean in paragraph 1? A．full of irony. B．full of romance C．involving strong criticism D．reflecting the reality 2．According to the author, the real reason why she failed in her interview was that_________. A．she didn’t maintain her claim. B．she argued with the interviewers fiercely. C．she admitted that she was wrong too quickly. D．she didn’t make adequate preparations for her claim. 3．Which of the following statements is true about the author? A．She was not so eager as other students to go to Oxford. B．She finally fulfilled her dream of studying in Oxford. C．She entered a university more suitable to develop her interest. D．She was disappointed about the university she finally entered. 4．After failing the Oxford interview, the author learned that _______. A．one should back up her points with hard evidence confidently. B．the ability to debate was the only thing matters in an interview. C．finding what her real passions were was the most urgent thing to do. D．respecting different opinions was very important to an interviewee. 1 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 专题02 阅读理解（记叙文） 主题01 人与自我——生活与学习 Passage 1 （24-25高一下·安徽滁州·期末） The alarm rang at 6 AM, pulling me from restless sleep, troubled by anxiety about my first day. Bad dreams from last night’s movie and endless questions — What to wear? Who will I sit with? — had left me tired. The train ride to school deepened my worry. Crowded carriages and messy stations contrasted sharply with my welcome day memories of bright flowers and lovely grass. Stepping into the building felt like entering a different world. Morning classes passed smoothly. English class introduced themes and activities, while an occasional look at a flying bird outside the window offered a distraction. By lunchtime, my anxiety about being alone reached its highest point. Though I ate alone, the acceptable pizza and quiet corner felt like “small victories”. Chemistry class brought relief. A pat on my shoulder introduced Samantha, who needed to share my textbook. Our whispered conversations revealed shared interests, ending with exchanged phone numbers. This connection brightened the day. On my way home, the empty train carriage reflected my lifted spirits. Charlie, my childhood friend, listened as I shared the day. His own smooth experience — effortless friendships and easy classes — showed our differences. Falling onto my bed, I let out a deep breath. The cycle would repeat tomorrow, but surviving Day One had brought hopefulness. 1．What mainly caused the author’s morning anxiety? A．Bad dreams. B．Heavy traffic. C．English classes. D．New school life. 2．What do “small victories” in paragraph 3 refer to? A．Finding simple comforts unexpectedly. B．Taking part in the English class actively. C．Discovering a quiet place accidentally. D．Gaining classmates’ attention occasionally. 3．How did Samantha change the author’s day? A．She provided a textbook. B．She shared broad interests. C．She brought a new friendship. D．She saved the telephone number. 4．What can we learn from the last paragraph? A．Charlie was the author’s another new friend. B．The author felt lonely in the empty train carriage. C．Charlie had similar school experiences to the author’s. D．The author gained confidence from the first day’s experiences. 【答案】1．D 2．A 3．C 4．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者第一天去新学校的经历，从焦虑不安到逐渐适应，结识新朋友，第一天的经历让作者有了希望。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段“The alarm rang at 6 AM, pulling me from restless sleep troubled by anxiety about my first day. Bad dreams from last night’s movie and endless questions — What to wear? Who will I sit with? — had left me tired.

My fear of heights made me freeze, but my parents insisted it would “build character.” On the first morning, our instructor, Sarah, gathered us at the base. “This climb isn’t about speed or strength,” she said. “It’s about listening to your body, the mountain, and your teammates.” I rolled my eyes, convinced that reaching the summit was the only measure of success. My teammate Jake, a confident athlete, dashed ahead, laughing at my cautious pace. “You’re wasting time!” he yelled. By midday, however, his confidence broke. Jake collapsed on a narrow ledge, trembling from thirst and muscle pain. Meanwhile, I adjusted my equipment, sipped water every 15 minutes, and studied the rock formations. When storm clouds darkened the sky, panic struck me. Sarah’s voice echoed in my mind: “Control what you can. Let go of what you can’t.” The final stretch tested everyone. Jake fell behind, humbled and silent. I focused on three-step rhythms: plant, pull, and breathe. At the summit, the wind beat my face as I gazed at the valley below. Jake approached, voice shaky. “I wanted to prove I was the best,” he admitted. “But I forgot to respect the mountain.” That moment reshaped my understanding of growth — it wasn’t about conquering peaks but embracing humility and patience. Years later, as a guide, I teach philosophy at a high school. One student recently asked, “What if I fail?” I smiled. “Failure isn’t falling, it’s refusing to learn why you fell.” Mountains mirror life’s struggles: unpredictable, demanding, yet transformative (能使人改变的). Every struggle and setback carves resilience (适应力)into our stories. The true summit isn’t a physical place — it’s the wisdom we carry back to the world below. 1．What initial attitude did the author have toward the instructor’s advice? A．Enthusiastic. B．Doubtful. C．Supportive. D．Confused. 2．Why did Jake fail to climb the mountain? A．He wanted the author to win. B．He lacked proper equipment. C．He rushed without preparation. D．He had to help other climbers. 3．Which of the following words best describes the author? A．Patiently observant. B．Eagerly ambitious. C．Competitively driven. D．Emotionally attached. 4．What lesson does the author learn from this climbing? A．Winning requires fighting bravely. B．Physical strength guarantees success. C．Teamwork outweighs personal goals. D．Success values steady effort over shortcuts. 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．A 4．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述作者15岁时参加登山营，从害怕到领悟成功需稳步努力而非捷径的经历。 1．推理判断题。根据第一段中的““This climb isn’t about speed or strength,” she said. “It’s about listening — to your body, the mountain, and your teammates.” I rolled my eyes, convinced that reaching the summit was the only measure of success. (“这次攀登与速度或力量无关，”她说。“它关乎倾听——倾听你的身体、大山和队友。”我翻了个白眼，坚信到达山顶是唯一的成功标准。)”可知，作者对教练的建议持怀疑态度。故选B项。 2．细节理解题。根据第二段中的“My teammate Jake, a confident athlete, dashed ahead, laughing at my cautious pace. “You’re wasting time!” he yelled. By midday, however, his confidence broke. Jake collapsed on a narrow ledge, trembling from thirst and muscle pain. (我的队友杰克是一名自信的运动员，他冲在前面，嘲笑我谨慎的步伐。“你在浪费时间！”他喊道。然而，到了中午，他的信心破灭了。杰克瘫倒在狭窄的岩架上，因口渴和肌肉疼痛而颤抖。)”可知，杰克爬山失败是因为他毫无准备地匆忙前进。故选C项。 3．推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Meanwhile, I adjusted my equipment, sipped water every 15 minutes, and studied the rock formations.(与此同时，我调整了装备，每15分钟喝一次水，研究岩层。)”及第三段中的“I focused on three-step rhythms: plant, pull, and breathe.(我专注于三步节奏：踩稳、拉拽、呼吸。)”可推断，作者耐心且善于观察。故选A项。 4．推理判断题。根据第三段中的“That moment reshaped my understanding of growth — it wasn’t about conquering peaks but embracing humility and patience.(那一刻重塑了我对成长的理解——这不是征服高峰，而是拥抱谦逊和耐心。)”及最后一段中的“Every struggle and setback carves resilience into our stories. The true summit isn’t a physical place — it’s the wisdom we carry back to the world below.(每一次奋斗和挫折都在我们的故事中刻下韧性。真正的顶峰不是一个物理位置——而是我们带回山下世界的智慧。)”可推断，作者从这次登山中学到的教训是：成功重视稳步努力而非捷径。故选D项。 Passage 3 （23-24高一下·合肥一中·期末） Nilas Corneliussen is the Swedish-born head chef of a Nordic-Asian combination restaurant in Thailand’s capital. While Thailand had long appealed to him, even in his youth, Corneliussen said he never imagined a career in cooking. Instead, he was drawn to Muay Thai, or Thai boxing. During high school breaks, he even traveled alone to Thailand to join Muay Thai training camps. During those trips, he fell in love with the country. After suffering a hand injury while boxing, he was forced to move on from Muay Thai. However, he didn’t stop thinking about Thailand. The very day after graduating from high school in Sweden, Corneliussen booked a one-way ticket to Bangkok and applied for a study visa. It wasn’t until halfway through his studies, from 2010 to 2014, that he was invited to the birthday party of a fellow student and friend, whose parents ran local Thai restaurants. The atmosphere inside the kitchen attracted him — everyone had to come together to make it happen. At the time, Corneliussen didn’t think he could run after his new enthusiasm for cooking in Thailand. Instead, he thought it would be best to go back to his roots and understand the flavors he’d grown up with before cooking anything, so he finished his studies and moved back to Europe. It’s a view he doesn’t agree with today. He thinks now that no cooking style is more important than another. Starting out in a Stockholm restaurant, he improved his skills and finally won the silver in the world’s most famous international cooking competition as part of the Swedish team. Despite the success, he returned to Thailand with his love for cooking arts in 2022. “In Thailand, I get this feeling of belonging and connection to the people, food and culture,” he says, recalling his first days as a foreigner in Thailand. 1．Why did Corneliussen quit practising Muay Thai? A．He was no longer interested in it. B．His hands got injured while boxing. C．He found a new passion for cooking. D．He was forced to leave Thailand. 2．What awakened Corneliussen’s passion for cooking? A．Team work in the kitchen. B．Unique taste of Thai food. C．Recommendation of a Thai friend. D．The inconvenient life in Bangkok. 3．What can be learned about Corneliussen according to the text? A．He showed great interest in cooking when young. B．He was injured when cooking for the first time. C．He considers all cooking styles are of equal importance. D．He thinks his returning to Europe quite a wise decision. 4．What is the text mainly about? A．A Swedish-born head chef in Thailand. B．A Swedish child’s love for Thailand. C．Different cooking styles in the world. D．A Nordic-Asian combination restaurant. 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．C 4．A 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。瑞典人Corneliussen因泰拳受伤放弃梦想，后爱上烹饪，在欧洲学艺获奖后，2022年回泰国当融合餐厅主厨。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段“After suffering a hand injury while boxing, he was forced to move on from Muay Thai.(在拳击时手受伤后，他被迫放弃泰拳)”可知，他放弃学习泰拳是因为手部受伤了，故选B项。 2．细节理解题。根据第三段“The atmosphere inside the kitchen attracted him — everyone had to come together to make it happen.(厨房里的气氛吸引了他——每个人都必须团结起来才能完成这一切)”可知，Corneliussen是被厨房中团队合作的氛围所启发，决定成为一名厨师。故选A项。 3．细节理解题。根据倒数第三段“It’s a view he doesn’t agree with today. He thinks now that no cooking style is more important than another.(但他如今已不再认同这种观点了。他认为如今任何一种烹饪方式都同等重要，没有哪种烹饪方式比其他方式更重要)”可知，Corneliussen 认为现在没有哪种烹饪风格比另一种更重要，可推理出他认为所有烹饪风格都同等重要。故选C项。 4．主旨大意题。根据第一段“Nilas Corneliussen is the Swedish-born head chef of a Nordic-Asian combination restaurant in Thailand’s capital.(尼拉斯·科内利乌森是出生于瑞典的一位主厨，他在泰国首都经营着一家融合了北欧和亚洲元素的餐厅)”以及文章主要介绍了Corneliussen 与泰国的渊源以及他成为厨师的经历。由此可推知，文章主要讲述了一位出生于瑞典的厨师长在泰国的故事。A 选项“一位出生于瑞典的厨师长在泰国”符合主旨。故选A项。 Passage 4 （24-25高一下·安徽铜陵·期末） Some people proudly say that they have read piles of books and read them quickly in a year. But there is power in reading slowly. Chinese-American author Yiyun Li tells her students, “I don’t want you to read 100 pages an hour. I want you to read three pages an hour.” That’s the speed Li is happy to read at, even if she is rereading a familiar text. “I want to savour a book, which means I give myself just 10 pages a day of any book to experience it. I was never a fast reader, but I read more slowly than I used to. This is partly to savour every word.” These words hit a nerve because I am a typical impatient reader, trying to finish a book as soon as I start. So, in an effort to follow Li’s advice, I, a forty-year-old man, start with The Years by Annie Ernaux, and Alan Garner’ s Where Shall We Run To? I spend about 45 minutes most days with the Ernaux, reading 30 or so pages; less on Garner because it’s shorter. This is probably still too fast, but old habits are hard to break. I’m struck by how they seem to talk to each other, Garner’s experience of growing up in Britain during the war agreeing with elements of Ernaux’s rural French childhood. The same thing happened with my next Ernaux, I Remain in Darkness, which I read alongside Catherine Newman’s We All Want Impossible Things. I stay longer in Newman’ pain, which feels more like I was sharing her experience. Again, the books, although very different, feel as if they were part of a conversation. By now I’m two months into my experiment, and have slowed down to Li’s 10 or so daily pages. Taking my time with several books at once feels free; as if I have permission to pick up books I’ve spent years meaning to approach. I really think Li is onto something. Oh, and I’m at 85 books for the year, not that I’m counting. 1．What does Yiyun Li advise her students to do? A．Read 100 pages of books daily. B．Focus on writers’ experiences. C．Find joy in the art of slow reading. D．Absorb new words while reading. 2．What was the writer’s reading habit? A．Repeating reading familiar texts. B．Finishing a book as soon as possible. C．Sharing the books with others. D．Reading several books at the same time. 3．What did the writer find when he followed Li’s advice? A．His reading speed was faster than before. B．There might be a bond between books. C．It was easy to break old reading habits. D．Two months was enough to finish a book. 4．What is the writer’s attitude towards savouring a book? A．Favourable. B．Objective. C．Anxious. D．Unclear. 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．B 4．A 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了作者在阅读上的改变。作者以前是典型的急躁读者，现在开始享受慢阅读。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段中“Chinese-American author Yiyun Li tells her students, “I don’t want you to read 100 pages an hour. I want you to read three pages an hour.” (美籍华裔作家李翊云告诉她的学生：“我不希望你们一小时读100页。我要你一小时读三页书。”)”可知，李翊云建议她的学生从慢读的艺术中寻找乐趣。故选C项。 2．细节理解题。根据第三段中“These words hit a nerve because I am a typical impatient reader, trying to have finished a book as soon as I start.(这些话触动了我的神经，因为我是一个典型的没有耐心的读者，一开始就想把一本书读完)”可知，作者的阅读习惯是尽快读完一本书。故选B项。 3．推理判断题。根据第四段中“I’m struck by how they seem to talk to each other, Garner’s experience of growing up in Britain during the war agreeing with elements of Ernaux’s rural French childhood.(我被他们彼此交谈的方式所震惊，Garner在战争期间在英国长大的经历与Ernaux在法国农村的童年非常吻合)”和第五段“The same thing happened with my next Ernaux, I Remain in Darkness, which I read alongside Catherine Newman’s We All Want Impossible Things. I stay longer in Newman’ pain, which feels more like I was sharing her experience. Again, the books, although very different, feel as if they were part of a conversation.(同样的事情也发生在我的下一本小说《我留在黑暗中》中，我和Catherine Newman的《我们都想要不可能的东西》一起读。我在Newman的痛苦中停留的时间更长，感觉更像是我在分享她的经历。再一次，这两本书，虽然非常不同，但感觉好像它们是对话的一部分)”可知，当作者听从李的建议时，他发现了书与书之间可能有某种联系。故选B项。 4．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Taking my time with several books at once feels free; as if I have permission to pick up books I’ve spent years meaning to approach. I really think Li is onto something. (花时间同时看几本书感觉很自由；就好像我被允许拿起我多年来想要读的书一样。我真的认为李是对的。)”可知，作者认为李是对的，说明作者对细细品味一本书的态度是支持的。故选A项。 Passage 5 （24-25高一下·安徽芜湖·期末） I never thought my love for animals would lead me to a job at the city zoo. Last summer, when I was 16, I went there every weekend just to watch the pandas. One day, as I was drawing them in my notebook, an elderly man in a zoo uniform stopped beside me. “Those are quite good,” he said, pointing to my drawings. “Do you know each panda has unique black areas around their eyes? Like human fingerprints.” I didn’t, but from that moment. Dr. Wilson — the head vet — became my teacher. For the next six weeks, I assisted him every morning. My main task was recording the animals’ behavior: when they ate, how they interacted, even their moods. It wasn’t glamorous work. I cleaned cages, prepared food, and once got sprayed by a very unhappy lemur (狐猴). But I also got to witness a baby giraffe take its first steps and help hand-feed a sick koala. The most valuable lesson came unexpectedly. One afternoon, Dr. Wilson let me observe a routine checkup on the oldest tiger. When the tiger suddenly growled (低吼), I jumped back in fear. “Animals sense your energy,” Dr. Wilson said calmly. “Respect them, but don’t show fear. They’ll mirror what you give them.” On my last day, the zoo staff surprised me with a “Junior Zookeeper” certificate (证书). Dr. Wilson wrote on it: “To the girl who sees more than just animals — she sees individuals.” Now when I visit, the pandas still chew their bamboo lazily, but I notice new details: how the youngest one always saves the tenderest (最嫩的) parts for last, just like I used to save the best candy in my Halloween bag. 1．What was the author’s major task in the zoo? A．Drawing pictures of zoo visitors. B．Hand-feeding baby giraffes. C．Helping with medical checkups. D．Recording animals’ daily habits. 2．The underlined word “glamorous” in Paragraph 3 most likely means ________. A．Tiring and boring B．Exciting and attractive C．Dangerous and difficult D．Simple and ordinary 3．What did Dr. Wilson teach the author about working with animals? A．Showing fear sometimes helps build trust with animals. B．Young animals require more attention than adults. C．Staying relaxed and respectful helps earn animals’ respect. D．Animals can understand human language if spoken calmly. 4．Which of the following sentences best describes the author in the passage? A．The early bird catches the worm. B．Respect opens hidden wonders. C．All good things come to those who wait. D．You can’t judge a book by its cover. 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．C 4．B 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者因对动物的热爱而在城市动物园获得工作机会的经历，详细描述了作者在动物园的工作内容、所学到的经验教训以及获得的成长和感悟。 1．细节理解题。根据文章第三段“My main task was recording the animals’ behavior: when they ate, how they interacted, even their moods.(我的主要任务是记录动物的行为：它们何时进食、如何互动，甚至是它们的情绪。)”可知，作者在动物园的主要任务是记录动物的行为，包括它们的进食时间、互动方式甚至情绪，这些都属于动物的日常习性。故选D。 2．词义猜测题。根据划线单词所在语境“It wasn’t glamorous work. I cleaned cages, prepared food, and once got sprayed by a very unhappy lemur (狐猴). But I also got to witness a baby giraffe take its first steps and help hand-feed a sick koala.(这份工作并不……。我打扫笼子、准备食物，有一次还被一只怒气冲冲的狐猴喷了一身。但我也见证了小长颈鹿迈出的第一步，还帮忙亲手喂养了一只生病的考拉。)”可知，作者所做的事情都属于琐碎甚至有些狼狈的工作。而转折词“But”之后提到见证小长颈鹿学步、亲手喂养生病的考拉又是充满意义和乐趣的瞬间。由此可推断，“It wasn’t glamorous work”指这份工作并不 “令人兴奋或有吸引力”，“glamorous” 与选项B“Exciting and attractive”意思最接近。故选B。 3．细节理解题。根据文章第四段“One afternoon, Dr. Wilson let me observe a routine checkup on the oldest tiger. When the tiger suddenly growled (低吼), I jumped back in fear. “Animals sense your energy,” Dr. Wilson said calmly. “Respect them, but don’t show fear. They’ll mirror what you give them.”(一天下午，Wilson博士让我观摩对最年长那只老虎的例行检查。当老虎突然低吼时，我吓得往后跳了一步。“动物能感受到你的气场，”Wilson博士平静地说，“要尊重它们，但别表现出恐惧。你怎样对它们，它们就会怎样回应你。”)”可知，Wilson博士教导作者，与动物相处时保持放松（不表现恐惧）和尊重，才能赢得动物的尊重。故选C。 4．推理判断题。根据文章内容可知，作者从最初单纯喜爱动物，到在Wilson博士的引导下学会尊重动物（不表现恐惧、关注它们的独特性），进而发现了动物更多细微而珍贵的细节（如熊猫保存最嫩竹子的习惯）。Wilson博士的话“Respect them, but don’t show fear. They’ll mirror what you give them.(要尊重它们，但别表现出恐惧。你怎样对它们，它们就会怎样回应你。)” 以及证书上的评语“she sees individuals(她看到的是一个个独特的生命)”，都体现了“尊重”让作者打开了对动物认知的新视角，发现了隐藏的美好。故选B。 Passage 6 （24-25高一下·皖豫名校联盟·期末） A British driver, Billy Monger, was just 17 when he had an accident in a Formula 4 race, losing his legs as a result of the serious injuries. In a second, the teenager was facing a very different future. But Monger, who is now 25, refused to be defeated. In October last year, Monger broke the world record for the fastest double amputee(被截肢者)to complete an IRONMAN at the World Championship, which is considered as one of the hardest endurance(耐力)events in the world. The athlete, who also works as a racing expert, took on the challenge with the goal of raising money for a non-profit organization which aims to fight global hunger and improve living conditions. It’s perhaps obvious, when you consider the distances, that this event is not something you can simply walk into unprepared. For Monger, this was the result of a full year of training that taught him to deal with the difficult situation. With the help of expert trainers that become almost part of his close family, Monger trained nearly every day to get his body and mind in the best possible condition. Being a double amputee, Monger faced a far more challenging preparation than most others. Running, for example, put huge pressure on his broken legs, so it was important that his prosthetics(假肢)fitted perfectly, or pain and soreness could possibly make him give up. Then came the cycle, where Monger decided to ride a pushbike rather than a handbike. It meant the former racing driver had to learn the basics over again. After his record-breaking achievement, Monger said he has set his sights firmly on the Los Angeles Paralympics in 2028, where he hopes to compete for Great Britain in the para-triathlon. Whatever he does next, though, being a role model and providing support to others will remain Monger’s main goal. 1．What’s Monger’s purpose in joining in the IRONMAN World Championship? A．To collect contributions for a good cause. B．To prove his ability to drive race cars. C．To prepare for the Paralympics. D．To test his new prosthetic legs. 2．Why was Monger’s training especially difficult? A．His preparations fell short. B．He had to train alone without any support. C．He had never done endurance sports before. D．His prosthetic legs made running and cycling harder. 3．What can be expected of Monger in the future? A．He may leave the sports field completely. B．He will follow the footsteps of his role models. C．He will hold on to his dreams while helping others. D．He hopes to coach those sharing the same experience. 4．Which words can best describe Monger? A．Tough-minded and inspiring. B．Kind-hearted and creative. C．Lucky and generous. D．Independent and skilled. 【答案】1．A 2．D 3．C 4．A 【导语】本文为一篇记叙文。文章讲述了英国赛车手Billy Monger在17岁时因赛车事故失去双腿，但他并未被打倒。25岁时，他打破了最快完成IRONMAN世界锦标赛的截肢者世界纪录，旨在为一个非营利组织筹集资金，以对抗全球饥饿和改善生活条件。 【详解】21．细节理解题。根据第二段“The athlete, who also works as a racing expert, took on the challenge with the goal of raising money for a non-profit organization which aims to fight global hunger and improve living conditions.(这位运动员同时也是一名赛车专家，他接受这一挑战的目标是为一家旨在抗击全球饥饿和改善生活条件的非营利组织筹集资金。)”可知，Monger参加比赛的目的是为非营利组织筹集资金，故选A。 1．细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Being a double amputee, Monger faced a far more challenging preparation than most others. Running, for example, put huge pressure on his broken legs, so it was important that his prosthetics(假肢)fitted perfectly, or pain and soreness could possibly make him give up. Then came the cycle, where Monger decided to ride a pushbike rather than a handbike. It meant the former racing driver had to learn the basics over again.(作为一名双截肢者，Monger面临的准备工作比大多数人更具挑战性。例如，跑步时会对他受伤的腿部造成巨大的压力，因此他的假肢必须完美贴合，否则疼痛和酸痛可能会让他放弃。接下来是自行车项目，Monger决定骑普通自行车而不是手摇自行车。这意味着这位曾经的赛车手不得不重新学习基础知识。)”可知，Monger的训练难是因为他的假肢让他跑步和骑自行车很困难，故选D。 2．推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“After his record-breaking achievement, Monger said he has set his sights firmly on the Los Angeles Paralympics in 2028, where he hopes to compete for Great Britain in the para-triathlon. Whatever he does next, though, being a role model and providing support to others will remain Monger’s main goal.(在打破纪录后，Monger表示，他已经将目光坚定地投向了2028年洛杉矶残奥会，他希望届时能代表英国参加残奥铁人三项比赛。无论他接下来做什么，成为榜样并向他人提供支持仍将是蒙格的主要目标。)”可知，Monger将继续追求自己的梦想，同时帮助他人，故选C。 3．推理判断题。根据文章第二段“In October last year, Monger broke the world record for the fastest double amputee(被截肢者)to complete an IRONMAN at the World Championship, which is considered as one of the hardest endurance(耐力)events in the world.( 去年10月，Monger在世界锦标赛上打破了最快完成IRONMAN比赛的截肢者世界纪录，而这项赛事被认为是世界上最具挑战性的耐力项目之一。)”可知，Monger在失去双腿后依然坚持训练并打破世界纪录，因此他是意志力坚强的；且根据文章最后一段“Whatever he does next, though, being a role model and providing support to others will remain Monger’s main goal.(无论他接下来做什么，成为榜样并向他人提供支持仍将是蒙格的主要目标。)”可知，他想要成为榜样并为他人提供支持，因此他的行为是激励他人的。故选A。 主题02 人与社会——社会与文化 Passage 1 （24-25高一下·安徽宣城·期末） Sandoval, who comes from Los Angeles, has traveled and filmed in over 50 countries across seven continents and now lives in China. “In 2008, tired of my studio work in the U.S, I came to China, with the hope of trying something different for myself,” he said. Sandoval is a professional photographer and he went to Chengdu in Southwest China to live in October 2008 and has traveled throughout the country since then. To him, Chengdu is the capital of a laid-back lifestyle. He was delighted to see that residents, dressed stylishly or comfortably, strolled in the streets “as slowly as snails”. Almost a “walking encyclopedia” of Chengdu, Sandoval covered every corner of Chengdu and recorded Chengduese and their lives with his camera, listening to the sound of mahjong being played and music from traditional stringed instruments. He also goes from place to place with his heavy travel kit. The various culture and vast, beautiful land has kept him in China much longer than he had planned in the beginning. He remembers a wide range of adventures like exploring a local vineyard and local wine in Yinchuan City, a riding performance by a Mongolian ethnic group in the Shuidonggou Horse Riding Show, and then the totally different experience of visiting the Hainan Free Trade Port in the south. He thinks he has done a lot in “this beautiful and vast country” with his “travel photos”. “I try to show people the beauty of where I go. I try to inspire them to travel and go to places. I’m hoping to do more international work,” he said. 1．Why did Sandoval come to China in 2008? A．He was not good at studio work in the U. S. B．He wanted to seek for something different. C．He had a preference for international work. D．He was attracted by China’s natural scenery. 2．What does the underlined word “laid-back” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A．Fast-paced. B．Healthy. C．Leisurely.

A．To praise Sandoval for his studio work in the U. S. B．To facilitate the development of tourism in Chengdu. C．To call on readers to take up photography as a hobby. D．To introduce the experience of a foreign photographer in China. 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．A 4．D 【导语】这是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了来自美国洛杉矶的专业摄影师Sandoval，2008年来到中国后，因喜爱中国文化与生活，不仅定居成都记录当地生活，还游历中国多地并用摄影作品展现中国之美，且计划开展更多国际相关工作的经历。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段“In 2008, tired of my studio work in the U.S, I came to China, with the hope of trying something different for myself.(2008年，我厌倦了在美国的工作室工作，来到中国，希望为自己尝试一些不同的事情。)”可知，Sandoval于2008年来到中国是因为想尝试不同的事物。故选B。 2．词句猜测题。根据第三段“He was delighted to see that residents, dressed stylishly or comfortably, strolled in the streets ‘as slowly as snails’.(他很高兴地看到，居民们穿着时髦或舒适的衣服，‘像蜗牛一样慢’地在街上漫步。)”可知，成都居民生活节奏缓慢，由此可推测laid-back指“悠闲的、放松的”。故选C。 3．推理判断题。根据第四段“The various culture and vast, beautiful land has kept him in China much longer than he had planned in the beginning.(多样的文化和广阔美丽的土地让他在中国停留的时间比最初计划的要长得多。)”以及其后列举的在银川、参加蒙古族马术表演、参观海南自由贸易港等经历可知，这些经历是为了体现他对中国文化的喜爱与着迷。故选A。 4．推理判断题。 通读全文，根据第二段“Sandoval is a professional photographer and he went to Chengdu in Southwest China to live in October 2008 and has traveled throughout the country since then.(Sandoval是一名专业摄影师，他于2008年10月来到中国西南部的成都生活，此后游历了全国各地。)”可知，文章围绕美国摄影师Sandoval来到中国后的生活、游历经历以及他用摄影记录中国、展现中国之美的想法展开，核心是介绍这位外国摄影师在中国的经历。故选D。 Passage 2 （24-25高一下·安徽庐江·期末） On any given day, you can find most 10-year-old boys throwing a ball around outside, riding bikes or playing video games. But Braden Baker is different. Braden is a hearing-damaged 5th-grader and has to wear hearing aids (助听器). Unluckily, Braden’s dog Chewy found his hearing aids on the floor and destroyed them, not once but twice, and they had to be replaced. But at $3,500to $6,000 a pair, Braden’s carelessness was costly. Braden’s mother, Ashley, sat Braden down and had a long talk about taking better care of his hearing aids, explaining how much they cost.“I told him that he was lucky to get another pair and that some people couldn’t afford a new pair, ”Ashley said. Those words stuck in Braden’s mind, who realized not every child who needed hearing aids could afford them. Recently, the 10-year-old boy decided to start a GoFundMe page to raise money for those who aren’t so lucky. Braden made a video to explain why he wanted to raise money. Ashley said, “We weren’t sure how it would turn out. He began with a goal of $1,000.We woke up the next morning and found it had raised $400.” This encouraged him to start making more videos. Fast-forward a few months and Braden’s GoFundMe page has raised over $15,000, which Braden donated to the Oticon Hearing Foundation. That money will be used to help other families buy hearing aids for their children. The project has not only taught Braden the value of money, but according to his mom, “he’s learned that if you put a small idea into action, amazing things can happen.” Braden’s advice to those looking for ways to give back to others is “Don’t give up! Any small idea can get really big.” 1．Why did Braden have to change his hearing aids? A．He lost his old hearing aids carelessly. B．He wanted a better pair of hearing aids.

D．Braden’s desire to help the poor hearing-impaired kids. 3．How did Braden and his mother feel when the page was started? A．Uncertain. B．Satisfied. C．Hopeful . D．Unexpected. 4．What has Braden learned from working on the project? A．Videoing is a good way to collect money. B．A small idea may make a big difference. C．It is important to dream big and hold on to it. D．One should always make good use of his money. 【答案】1．D 2．D 3．A 4．B 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了一名10岁听障男孩录制视频发起筹款，帮助贫困听障儿童购买助听器。 【详解】29．细节理解题。根据第二段“Unluckily, Braden’s dog Chewy found his hearing aids on the floor and destroyed them-not once but twice and they had to be replaced.(不幸的是，布莱登的狗Chewy在地板上发现了他的助听器，并破坏了不止一次，而是两次，它们不得不被更换)”可知，布莱登必须更换助听器，是因为他的狗弄坏了他的助听器。故选D。 1．细节理解题。根据第三段““I told him that he was lucky to get another pair and that some people couldn’t afford a new pair, ”Ashley said.(阿什利说：“我告诉他，他很幸运又买了一副，而有些人买不起新的。”)”以及第四段“Those words stuck in Braden’s mind, who realized not every child who needed hearing aids could afford them. Recently the 10-year-old boy decided to start a GoFundMe page to raise money for those who aren’t so lucky.(这些话一直萦绕在布莱登的脑海中，他意识到并不是每个需要助听器的孩子都能负担得起。最近，这个10岁的男孩决定创建一个GoFundMe页面，为那些不那么幸运的人筹集资金)”可知，布莱登启动GoFundMe页面，是由于他了解到有些儿童负担不起助听器，他想筹款帮助这些可怜的听障儿童。故选D。 2．推理判断题。根据第五段“We weren’t sure how it would turn out. He began with a goal of $1,000. We woke up the next morning and found it had raised$400.(我们不确定结果会如何。他一开始的目标是1000美元。第二天早上我们醒来发现筹集到了400美元)”可知，可知，一开始发起筹款时，布莱登和妈妈都不确定结果会怎样，他们感觉不确定的。故选A。 3．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“he’s learned that if you put a small idea into action, amazing things can happen.(他学到了，如果你把一个小想法付诸行动，就会发生令人惊叹的事情)”以及最后一段“Braden’s advice to those looking for ways to give back to others is “Don’t give up! Any small idea can get really big.”(布莱登给那些想回馈他人的人的建议是：“不要放弃！任何小想法都可能变得很大。”)”可知，布莱登通过募集资金这一项目学到的是，将小小的想法付诸行动可能会产生很大的影响。故选B。 Passage 3 （24-25高一下·合肥六中·期末） Annie Smith, 32, went into labor as floodwaters from Hurricane Harvey surrounded her apartment. With the roads underwater, the two-mile drive to the hospital was impossible. Annie and her husband, Greg, both doctors, began preparing for a home birth. Greg rushed to gather supplies — scissors, sewing needles — while his mother boiled water to sterilize (消毒) them. “I’m really starting to get scared now,” Annie told Greg as the reality set in. A neighbor, checking on the Smiths, sent an email to their apartment complex’s message board asking for help. Within 30 minutes, at least 15 people showed up, including medical trainees from the complex. Meanwhile, the couple had been continuously dialing 911 but never got an answer. Finally, a call to the director of Annie’s fellowship program led to action. The director’s father, who lived near a fire station, walked there to explain the situation. Around noon, a rescue truck arrived. By then, the water had reached to a formidable level that the vehicle couldn’t get close. The Smiths’ neighbors and firefighters formed a human chain to help Annie Smith to the back of the flatbed truck. “I held onto them one person at a time,” she said, moving on her hands and knees along their arms until she reached the ladder safely. She sat on a blanket in the truck, a shower curtain over her head, as they drove through the flood. The Smiths arrived at Texas Children’s Hospital about 15 minutes later. An hour later, their daughter Adrielle was born, weighing 7 pounds, 6 ounces. The couple, exhausted but relieved, appreciated the neighbors and firemen who had come to their aid. “It was absolutely incredible how many people responded and were out in the rain trying to help us,” Annie said. 1．Why did the Smiths at first prepare for a home birth? A．The hospital was inaccessible. B．Drivers were hard to reach. C．They were suggested by doctors. D．The emergency services were off duty. 2．Who played a crucial role in calling the rescue truck? A．A neighbour. B．Greg’s mother. C．A medical trainee. D．The director’s father. 3．What does the underlined word “formidable” in paragraph 4 mean? A．Scary. B．Awesome. C．Average. D．Normal. 4．What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A．To record an unforgettable disaster. B．To remember the respected firemen. C．To praise the love within the community. D．To raise funds for Annie’s fellowship program. 【答案】1．A 2．D 3．A 4．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了一对医生夫妇在飓风洪水中，因医院无法到达而准备在家分娩，最终在邻居和消防员的帮助下成功获救并诞下女儿的感人故事。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段中的“With the roads underwater, the two-mile drive to the hospital was impossible.(由于道路被水淹没，前往医院两英里的路程无法实现)”可知，由于道路被水淹没，医院无法到达，所以史密斯一家最初准备在家分娩。故选A项。 2．细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Finally, a call to the director of Annie’s fellowship program led to action. The director’s father, who lived near a fire station, walked there to explain the situation.(最终，给安妮的研究生项目主任打电话促成了行动。这位主任的父亲住在消防站附近，他步行到那里解释了情况)”可知，这位主任的父亲住在消防站附近，他步行到那里解释了情况。由此可知，这位主任的父亲在联系救援卡车的过程中起到了关键作用。故选D项。 3．词句猜测题。根据第四段中的“Around noon, a rescue truck arrived. By then, the water had reached to a formidable level that the vehicle couldn’t get close.(中午时分，一辆救援卡车到达。然而，洪水已经涨到了一个formidable程度，车辆无法靠近)”可知，划线单词后的同位语从句对level进行解释，洪水到了车辆无法靠近的程度，由此可知，洪水水位高得吓人，阻碍了车辆靠近，所以划线单词的意思与scary“可怕的”意义相近。故选A项。 4．推理判断题。结合全文内容，尤其是最后一段中“The couple, exhausted but relieved, appreciated the neighbors and firemen who had come to their aid. “It was absolutely incredible how many people responded and were out in the rain trying to help us,” Annie said. (这对夫妇虽然筋疲力尽，但感到如释重负，他们非常感激前来帮助他们的邻居和消防员。安妮说：“令人难以置信的是，有那么多人响应并冒着大雨来帮助我们。”)”可知，这对夫妇非常感激前来帮助他们的邻居和消防员。由此推知，作者写这篇文章的目的是赞美社区内的互助与爱心。故选C项。 Passage 4 （23-24高一下·安徽霍山·期末） Ryan Finley is a sketch (素描) card artist for Topps and a visual arts instructor at Beck Center for the Arts in Lakewood, Ohio. Ryan and his 10-year-old daughter, Keira, recently showed their artistic talents at a Beck Center exhibition. The exhibition “Side by Side” includes the pair’s artistic interpretations (诠释) of the same characters and scenes. I first met the Finleys when I was a student in Ryan’s cartooning class. Keira, now a fourth grader, has been creating art since she was a young child. “She was always next to me, lying on the ground drawing,” Ryan recalled. Keira’s love for art continued, and she became a student in Ryan’s class at Beck. The best part of “Side by Side” was having friends and classmates come to see the exhibit, Keira said. “I loved walking around with my dad and talking to everybody.” Keira told local news media that she’d love art even if her dad had a different career. “If my dad wasn’t an artist,” she said, “I’d still probably be doing this.” Ryan’s interest in art also began in childhood. “I’d always be drawing when I wasn’t supposed to be,” he told me. “I’d get notes all the time saying, ‘You need to focus more on your study.’” That passion never left him. “In high school, I took every art class you could possibly take,” he said. Before becoming a Star Wars sketch artist for Topps, Ryan had other jobs, including working as a street artist. When asked what he liked best about his job, Ryan didn’t hesitate. “Surely the art show I just had with Keira,” he said. “It’s hard to even put into words. It’s pretty touching.” Ryan also loves working with his students. “I do my best to make sure that they’re having fun with what they’re doing,” he said. “My favorite part is seeing the growth of my students.” 1．What do we know about “Side by Side”?

D．Touchable. 【答案】1．D 2．A 3．C 4．B 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要叙述了Ryan Finley和他的女儿Keira在艺术领域的共同经历和成就。 1．细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Ryan and his 10-year-old daughter, Keira, recently showed their artistic talents at a Beck Center exhibition. The exhibition “Side by Side” includes the pair’s artistic interpretations (诠释) of the same characters and scenes (瑞安和他10岁的女儿凯拉最近在贝克中心展览上展示了他们的艺术才能。这次展览“并肩”包括了这对父女对相同角色和场景的艺术诠释)”可知，“Side by Side”展览展示了父亲和女儿的作品。故选D项。 2．细节理解题。根据文章第三段“The best part of “Side by Side” was having friends and classmates come to see the exhibit, Keira said. “I loved walking around with my dad and talking to everybody.””(Keira说，“并肩”展览最棒的部分是朋友们和同学们来看展览。“我喜欢和爸爸一起走来走去，和每个人聊天。”)”可知，“Side by Side”让Keira的社会生活更加丰富。故选A项。 3．细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Keira’s love for art continued, and she became a student in Ryan’s class at Beck.(Keira对艺术的热爱持续着，她成为了Ryan在Beck中心班级的学生)”以及第六段“Ryan’s interest in art also began in childhood(Ryan对艺术的兴趣也是从小就开始的)”可知，Ryan和Keira共同之处在于他们都在很小的时候就对艺术产生了兴趣。故选C项。 4．推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Ryan also loves working with his students. “I do my best to make sure that they’re having fun with what they’re doing,” he said. “My favorite part is seeing the growth of my students.”(Ryan也喜欢和他的学生们一起工作。“我尽我所能确保他们对自己正在做的事情感到快乐，”他说。“我最喜欢的部分是看到我的学生的成长。”)”可推知，Ryan对于他在Beck Center的工作感觉非常愉快。故选B项。 主题01 人与社会——社会与文化 Passage 1 （23-24高一下·安徽芜湖·期末） By the time she turned 18, Liz had attended twelve schools in as many years. She had lived in shelters and in parks but never in a permanent residence for more than a few months. She had been laughed at by students at a dozen schools who considered her “different”. Homeless since early childhood, Liz struggled all her life to hide her circumstances from teachers and fellow students. However, academics proved to be a way for her to find confidence in herself again. For instance, at the age of 9, she placed in the 99th percentile on a state exam, and her teacher Oprah told her she was “gifted”. From that moment forward, Liz decided to do whatever it took to keep herself in that category. “I was so proud of being smart and I never wanted people to say, ‘You got the easy way out because you’re homeless, ‘” she said“ I never saw it as an excuse. ” By the second year of high school, she realized that she could not succeed in getting the education she dreamed of without getting help to go beyond what her current school could offer. She talked to teachers who helped her apply for summer community college classes and scholarships. And in 11th grade, when she enrolled at Jefferson High School, she decided to complete the rest of her school career there—a decision that meant taking a bus each morning at 4 a. m. and not getting home until 11 p.m. Her perseverance and hard work paid off, however. When she poured the story of her life into her Harvard University college application, she was accepted. Once Liz felt ready to tell her story, it won her notice not only from college admissions boards but also from the news media. Now as a successful student at Harvard, Liz continues to use the lessons of her extraordinary life to help and inspire other students. 1．What made Liz different in the eyes of her classmates according to paragraph 1? A．Her talent. B．Her hard work. C．Her homelessness. D．Her school performance. 2．How did Liz rebuild her confidence? A．By settling in a permanent home. B．By getting help from her teachers. C．By socializing with other students. D．By finding her passion for studying. 3．What can we learn about Liz? A．She quit school to support her family. B．She was criticized by Oprah on her show. C．She shares her stories to encourage others. D．She has been declined by Jefferson High School. 4．Which of the following best describes Liz? A．Humorous. B．Strict. C．Reliable. D．Determined. 【答案】1．C 2．D 3．C 4．D 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了自幼无家可归的Liz辗转多所学校，饱受同学的嘲笑和轻视，最终在个人的努力和老师的帮助下成功考入哈佛大学的故事。 1．推理判断题。根据文章第一段“She had lived in shelters and in parks but never in a permanent residence for more than a few months. She had been laughed at by students at a dozen schools who considered her "different".(她住在收容所和公园里，但从来没有在一个固定住所住过几个月。她曾被十几所学校的学生嘲笑，因为他们认为她“与众不同”。)”可知，她的无家可归使莉兹在同学眼中与众不同。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据文章第二段“However, academics proved to be a way for her to find confidence in herself again. (学习成绩证明是她重新找回自信的一种方式）”可知，莉兹通过找到对学习的热情来重拾信心。故选D。 3．推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Once Liz felt ready to tell her story, it won her notice not only from college admissions boards but also from the news media. Now as a successful student at Harvard, Liz continues to use the lessons of her extraordinary life to help and inspire other students.(一旦莉兹准备好讲述自己的故事，这不仅引起了大学招生委员会的注意，也引起了新闻媒体的注意。现在，作为哈佛大学的一名成功学生，莉兹继续用她非凡生活中的经验教训来帮助和激励其他学生。)”可知，她分享自己的故事来鼓励别人。故选C。 4．推理判断题。根据文章第二段“However, academics proved to be a way for her to find confidence in herself again. For instance, at the age of 9, she placed in the 99th percentile on a state exam, and her teacher Oprah told her she was "gifted". From that moment forward, Liz decided to do whatever it took to keep herself in that category. (然而，学习证明是她重新找回自信的一种方式。例如，9岁时，她在一次国家考试中名列第99位，她的老师奥普拉说她“很有天赋”。从那一刻起，莉兹决定不惜一切代价让自己成为这一类人。)”和文章第三段“And in 11th grade, when she enrolled at Jefferson High School, she decided to complete the rest of her school career there—a decision that meant taking a bus each morning at 4 a.m. and not getting home until 11 p.m.(11年级时，当她进入杰斐逊高中(Jefferson High School)就读时，她决定在那里完成她余下的学校生涯——这个决定意味着每天早上4点坐公交车，直到晚上11点才回家。)”以及文章第四段“Her perseverance and hard work paid off, however. (然而，她的毅力和努力得到了回报。)”可知，Liz是有决心的。故选D。 Passage 2 （24-25高一下·安徽安庆·期末） We journalists, live in a new age of storytelling, with many new multimedia tools. Many young people don’t even realize it’s new. For them, it’s just normal. This hit home for me as I was sitting with my 2-year-old grandson on a sofa over the Spring Festival holiday. I had brought a children’s book to read. It had simple words and colorful pictures — a perfect match for his age. Picture this: my grandson sitting on my lap as I hold the book in front so he can see the pictures. As I read, he reaches out and pokes (戳) the page with his finger. What’s up with that? He just likes the pictures, I thought. Then I turned the page and continued. He poked the page even harder. I nearly dropped the book. I was confused: Is there something wrong with this kid? Then I realized what was happening. He was actually a stranger to books. His father frequently amused the boy with a tablet computer which was loaded with colorful pictures that come alive when you poke them. He thought my storybook was like that. Sorry, kid. This book is not part of your high-tech world. It’s an outdated, lifeless thing. An antique, like your grandfather. Well, I may be old, but I’m not hopelessly challenged, digitally speaking. I edit video and produce audio. I use mobile payment. I’ve even built websites. There’s one notable gap in my new-media experience, however: I’ve spent little time in front of a camera, since I have a face made for radio. But that didn’t stop China Daily from asking me last week to share a personal story for a video project about the integration of Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei province. Anyway, grandpa is now an internet star — two minutes of fame! I promise not to let it go to my head. But I will make sure my 2-year-old grandson sees it on his tablet. 1．What do the underlined words “hit home for me” mean in paragraph 2? A．Provided shelter for me. B．Became very clear to me. C．Took the pressure off me. D．Worked quite well on me. 2．Why did the kid poke the storybook? A．He took it for a tablet computer. B．He disliked the colorful pictures. C．He was angry with his grandpa. D．He wanted to read it by himself. 3．What does the author think of himself? A．Socially ambitious. B．Physically attractive. C．Financially independent. D．Digitally competent. 4．What can we learn about the author as a journalist? A．He lacks experience in his job. B．He seldom appears on television. C．He manages a video department. D．He often interviews internet stars. 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．D 4．B 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者曾经是一名记者，在春节期间，作者给孙子拿了一本儿童读物，孙子却以为是平板电脑，不停地戳书。 1．词句猜测题。根据第一段“We journalists live in a new age of storytelling, with many new multimedia tools. Many young people don’t even realize it’s new. For them, it’s just normal.”以及画线词后文“as I was sitting with my 2-year-old grandson on a sofa over the Spring Festival holiday.”可知，作者是记者，生活在一个讲故事的新时代，有许多新的多媒体工具。许多年轻人甚至没有意识到它是新的。对他们来说，这很正常。而这在春节假期，作者和两岁的孙子坐在沙发上，尤其清楚认识到了这一点。故画线词意思是“我很清楚”。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据第五段中“He was actually a stranger to books. His father frequently amused the boy with a tablet computer which was loaded with colorful pictures that come alive when you poke them. He thought my storybook was like that.(事实上，他对书本并不熟悉。他的父亲经常用一台装有彩色图片的平板电脑逗他开心，当你戳它们的时候，这些图片就会变得栩栩如生。他认为我的故事书就是那样的)”可知，那孩子戳故事书是因为他把它当成了平板电脑。故选A。 3．细节理解题。根据倒数第三段中“Well, I may be old, but I’m not hopelessly challenged, digitally speaking. I edit video and produce audio. I use mobile payment. I’ve even built websites. (我可能老了，但从数字角度来说，我还没有毫无希望的挑战。我编辑视频，制作音频。我用移动支付。我甚至建立了网站)”可知，作者认为自己懂数码技术。故选D。 4．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“There’s one notable gap in my new-media experience, however: I’ve spent little time in front of a camera, since I have a face made for radio.(然而，在我的新媒体体验中有一个明显的差距：我很少在镜头前呆着，因为我的脸是为电台而生的)”可知，作者作为记者他很少上电视。故选B。 Passage 3 （24-25高一下·安徽宣城·期末） In the seventh grade, I realized I was dyslexic, which made it difficult for me to read and spell. I did really badly in my history course, so my mother said to me, “I’ll work with you for a full week. I’m going to show you what you can do if you put in the right amount of effort.” So we did. We worked on history for a full week, an extra hour every day. But I still failed the test as always. By the time I got to college, things didn’t get better. I would wait in registration lines all day to sign up for extra courses. Then I would go around the first day of class and ask each professor: “What’s your policy on misspelling?” If he said, “Three misspellings is a fail,” I’d drop it. Although I was an academic failure, I had a great time. I had many friends and I was always popular. I was a good football player. I never had a day when I would think “People don’t like me.” In spite of my obvious weaknesses, I became successful in my career, so much so that people say to me, “So you’ve overcome dyslexia.” No. I don’t overcome it. I just learn to compensate for it. Some easy things are hard for me. Most people read 500 words a minute. I only read 200. I try not to dial a phone because I sometimes have to dial three times to get the number right. I owe my successful career to my writing instructor, Ralph Salisbury. He looked past my misspellings and gave me encouragement. So I always feel confident. The real fear that I have for dyslexic people is not that they have to struggle with their reading skills or that they can’t spell correctly, but that they will quit on themselves before they get out of school. 1．When the author did badly in the course, what did his mother do? A．She led him to make more efforts. B．She taught him history in person. C．She blamed his laziness bitterly. D．She sent him to an extra class. 2．Which of the following is true according to the text? A．The author always dials three times to make a phone call. B．The author cures himself without anyone’s help. C．The author failed in many extra courses. D．The author leads a successful life. 3．The meaning of the underlined phrase “compensate for” is equal to ______. A．fight for B．make up for C．struggle with D．put up with 4．What is the author’s suggestion for dyslexic people? A．They should make more efforts to practice reading skills. B．They should turn to a writing instructor for help. C．They should not give up on themselves. D．They should ignore the disease. 【答案】1．A 2．D 3．B 4．C 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者患有阅读障碍，但是母亲引导作者付出更多的努力，作者也最终过上了成功的生活。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段“I did really badly in my history course, so my mother said to me, “I’ll work with you for a full week. I’m going to show you what you can do if you put in the right amount of effort.”(我的历史课考得很差，所以我妈妈对我说：“我要和你一起学整整一周。我要告诉你，如果你付出了足够的努力，你能做什么。”)”可知，当作者在这门课上表现不好时，他的母亲引导他做出更多的努力。故选A项。 2．细节理解题。根据第四段“In spite of my obvious weaknesses, I became successful in my career, so much so that people say to me, “So you’ve overcome dyslexia.”(尽管我有明显的缺点，但我在事业上取得了成功，以至于人们对我说：“你已经克服了阅读障碍)”可知，D选项“作者过着成功的生活”正确。故选D项。 3．词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“No. I don’t overcome it. I just learn to”以及后文“Most people read 500 words a minute. I only read 200. I try not to dial a phone because I sometimes have to dial three times to get the number right. (大多数人一分钟读500字。我只读了200个。我尽量不拨电话，因为有时我必须拨三次才能拨对号码)”可知，作者说自己没有克服阅读障碍，只是通过努力去弥补，故划线词意思是“弥补”。故选B项。 4．细节理解题。根据最后一段“The real fear that I have for dyslexic people is not that they have to struggle with their reading skills or that they can’t spell correctly, but that they will quit on themselves before they get out of school.(我对失读症患者真正的担心不是他们必须努力提高阅读能力，或者不能正确拼写，而是他们会在离开学校之前放弃自己)”可知，作者建议有阅读障碍的人不应该放弃自己。故选C项。 Passage 4 （23-24高一下·安徽亳州·期末） My name is Linda. I am from Isla de Maipo, Chile. I live with my dad, my mom and a rabbit happily. But I was born with a cleft lip (唇裂). I don’t remember anything about my first years with my cleft lip. All I know is that when I was young, my parents found Fundación Gantz in Santiago, where I had been for free treatment. Every time I went to Fundación Gantz, my heart was full of thanks to my parents. It was not easy to arrive on time for the medical examination. We had to get up at six in the morning to drive for more than an hour and be careful not to get hit by other cars, but my parents never complained about such busy and tiring days. Doctors at Fundación Gantz helped me a lot. First, they healed my cleft lip. Then, with orthodontic treatment (正畸治疗), they managed to correct my bite, and later they performed an operation on my jawbone. I thank the doctors there who treated me, and Dr. Angus is my favorite — he has known me since I was born. When I was in the waiting room waiting for my operation on my jawbone, I was sweating all over in fear. Dr. Angus came to my side and talked to me endlessly about the things I was interested in, such as Kayros’ music and Bolano’s books, making me feel relaxed. In the past, before the treatment, I had no confidence, and children made jokes on my cleft lip at school. I started training in Taekwondo (跆拳道) at the age of four in a gym next to my kindergarten and it was just what I needed at that time. It changed me and the children around me — before, children played tricks on me, but later they respected me. Today, when people talk about something on my lip, I will tell them the little mark never bothers me because it is so small that it can hardly be seen. I want to tell the medical experts at Gantz to keep it up because their work is admirable, and they help a lot of people in need. 1．Which of the following can best describe the author’s parents? A．Selfless. B．Impatient. C．Fair. D．Outgoing. 2．How did Dr. Angus help the author reduce her fear of the operation? A．He read to her. B．He talked about interesting things with her. C．He played music for her. D．He changed her operation plan. 3．How did Taekwondo change the 4-year-old author? A．It made her school time colorful. B．It built her confidence. C．It improved her school performances. D．It prepared her for her future career. 4．What does the underlined word “something” refer to in paragraph 6? A．The color. B．The cost. C．The operation. D．The mark. 【答案】1．A 2．B 3．B 4．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。 文章作者主要介绍了Dr.Angus等医生对她的帮助和影响并对他表示感谢。 【详解】1. 推理判断题。根据第三段“It was not easy to arrive on time for medical examination. We had to get up at six in the morning to drive for more than an hour and be careful not to get hit by other cars, but my parents never complained about such busy and tiring days.(要准时到达体检地点并不容易。我们必须早上六点起床，开车一个多小时，小心不要被其他车撞到，但我的父母从来没有抱怨过这样忙碌和劳累的日子)”可推断，作者的父母是无私的。故选A。 1. 细节理解题。根据第五段“When I was in the waiting room waiting for my operation on my jawbone, I was sweating all over in fear. Dr. Angus came to my side and talked to me endlessly about the things I was interested in, such as Kayros’ music and Bolano’s books, making me feel relaxed.(当我在候诊室等待颚骨手术时，我吓得满头大汗。安格斯医生走到我身边，没完没了地和我聊我感兴趣的事情，比如凯拉斯的音乐和波拉尼奥的书，让我感到放松)”可知，Angus医生通过跟作者谈论她感兴趣的事情让她减少对手术的恐惧。故选B。 2. 细节理解题。根据第六段“In the past, before the treatment, I had no confidence, and children made jokes on my cleft lip at school. I started training in Taekwondo(跆拳道)at the age of four in a gym next to my kindergarten and it was just what I needed at that time.(在过去，在接受治疗之前，我没有自信，孩子们在学校拿我的唇裂开玩笑。我四岁的时候就开始在幼儿园旁边的一个健身房练跆拳道训练，这正是我当时所需要的)”可知，作者在4岁时所学的始拳道课程帮她建立了信心。故选B。 3.词句猜测题。根据第六段“It changed me and the children around me —before, children played tricks on me, but later they respected me. Today, when people talk about something on my lip, I will tell them the little mark never bothers me because it is so small that it can hardly be seen.(它改变了我和我周围的孩子——以前孩子们对我开玩笑，但后来他们尊重我。今天，当人们谈论我嘴唇上的东西时，我会告诉他们这个小标记从来不会困扰我，因为它几乎看不见)”可知，something指代的是术后嘴唇上留下的小疤痕。故选D。 Passage 5 （23-24高一下·安徽滁州·期末） It was a rainy, damp December day. I was headed to the store to pick up another week’s worth of food. I had put off shopping for Christmas presents until later in the month but wasn’t looking forward to the crowd of Christmas shoppers while I grabbed my groceries. I kept the CD player on while I drove to avoid the radio news. It only spoke of the world’s huge problems and how divided we all still were. And it usually just left me feeling helpless. Still, I gave my son a dollar to put in the bell-ringer’s pot at the door to the store. We went in and soon filled our cart with food. Then we walked towards the self-checkout machines. I hated using them. I much preferred to chat with the friendly cashiers, but the line at them was five deep and I just didn’t have the time. As I pulled my cart up, I heard an old man at the machine next to mine grumbling (嘟囔) under his breath, trying his hardest not to curse(诅咒). He only had a few items but every time he put his wrinkled, well-worn, twenty-dollar bill into the machine, the money was returned. I quickly grabbed a newer twenty out of my purse and gave it to him. He thanked me with a warm smile and paid for his goods. I told him to keep his money but he insisted that I take his old, torn twenty. I nodded, put it in my coat pocket, and wished him a Merry Christmas. After checking out, I remembered something Mother Teresa had once said about how we all can change the world. “Help one person at a time,” she said, “and always start with the person nearest you.” I reached into my pocket, smiled, and went outside. Then I dropped that torn twenty into the bell-ringer’s pot and walked to my car with my son happily. 1．Why did the author feel helpless? A．Radio provided unreliable news. B．There was always a Christmas rush. C．People were disconnected from each other. D．Christmas was ruined by the terrible weather. 2．How did the author help the old man? A．By paying for his shopping items. B．By exchanging a newer note with him. C．By teaching him how to use the machine. D．By calling out the friendly cashier in time. 3．Why did the author give twenty dollars to the bell-ringer? A．She wanted to pursue Mother Teresa’s ideas. B．She desired to spread Mother Teresa’s words. C．She expected to set a good example to her son. D．She hoped to have a meaningful day with her son. 4．What’s the best title for the text? A．A Better World B．The Person Nearest You C．The Christmas Spirit D．A Twenty-Dollar Bill 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．A 4．B 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者在一次去商店买东西的时候，帮助了一个在自助结账机结账时遇到问题的人的故事。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段“I kept the CD player on while I drove to avoid the radio news. It only spoke of the world’s huge problems and how divided we all still were. And it usually just left me feeling helpless.(我开车时一直开着CD播放机，以避开广播新闻。它只谈论世界上的大问题，以及我们之间仍然存在的分歧。这通常只会让我感到无助。)”可知，因为作者认为人与人之间的联系并不密切存在，人与人之间的联系被切断，所以作者感到无助。故选C项。 2．细节理解题。根据第二段“He only had a few items but every time he put his wrinkled, well-worn, twenty-dollar bill into the machine, the money was returned. I quickly grabbed a newer twenty out of my purse and gave it to him.(他只有几样东西，但每次他把皱巴巴的、破旧的20美元钞票放进机器里，钱就被退回了。我很快从钱包里掏出一个更新一些的20美元给了他。)”以及“I told him to keep his money but he insisted that I take his old, torn twenty.(我告诉他留下他的钱，但他坚持要我拿走他那破旧的20美元。)”可知，作者通过和老人交换了一张新的钞票来帮助老人。故选B项。 3．推理判断题。根据第三段“After checking out, I remembered something Mother Teresa had once said about how we all can change the world. “Help one person at a time,” she said, “and always start with the person nearest you.”(结账后，我想起了特蕾莎修女曾经说过的关于我们如何改变世界的话。“一次帮助一个人，”她说，“总是从离你最近的人开始。”)”可知，作者给了敲钟人20美元是因为作者想到了特蕾莎修女的话，想要贯彻特蕾莎修女的想法。故选A项。 4．主旨大意题。根据第三段“After checking out, I remembered something Mother Teresa had once said about how we all can change the world. “Help one person at a time,” she said, “and always start with the person nearest you.”(结账后，我想起了特蕾莎修女曾经说过的关于我们如何改变世界的话。“一次帮助一个人，”她说，“总是从离你最近的人开始。”)”以及文章内容可知，文章讲述了去帮助别人的故事，帮助别人要从离你最近的人开始，所以“离你最近的人”可以作为文章标题。故选B项。 主题02 人与自我——生活与学习 Passage 1 （24-25高一下·安徽宿州·期末） My wife Hannah and I don’t usually keep houseplants. Anything in pots gets either overwatered or underwatered. But after my diagnosis (诊断) with brain cancer, I loved the idea of having something new and green around. My friend Mitch gave me what he said was a lucky bamboo plant in a deep-green pot. I told Hannah I wanted to care for the plant myself. The cancer limited my ability to walk, and the treatment made it hard for me to accomplish everyday tasks. Tending to the plant gave me a sense of accomplishment at a time when I sometimes felt useless. Over the next few months, I recovered from an operation. Even after I returned to work, I continued to care for the plant. Soon, it had nearly doubled in height and its leaves were shiny and lush (茂盛). Both the tree and I were thriving. Then, surprisingly, it began to show signs of stress. I increased my watering, then decreased it. I fed it commercial plant food. No matter what I did, the leaves kept browning and dropping to the floor. I grew more and more frustrated. “I can’t even care for a simple plant!” I yelled. “I’m failing!” Hannah reminded me that we’d seen houseplants die before. She asked me why I was getting so worked up about this particular one. “If my lucky bamboo dies,” I blurted out (脱口而出), “I might die too!” Now that the tree was struggling, I felt increasingly fearful. Its browning leaves, I worried, might signal the recurrence of my brain cancer. Sunk in thought, I realized I had wrongly connected my careful nurturing of the plant—something over which I had at least some control—with my own survival—something over which I had no control. As my anxiety lessened, I began to learn online guides to help me figure out how to care for my plant. Following the instructions, I transplanted the tree to a larger pot, untangling its roots to give it room to grow. When it was back in the sunny window, we both began to thrive again. 1．What can we learn about the bamboo plant? A．It was Hannah that cared for the bamboo. B．The writer showed no interest in the bamboo. C．The bamboo gave the writer a sense of accomplishment. D．The leaves of bamboo kept dropping to the floor because of lack of water. 2．What is the meaning of the underlined word? A．harmful B．fast-growing C．scared D．deadly 3．Why was the author so frightened after seeing the leaves fall to the ground? A．The plant was a gift from his best friend. B．He didn’t want to see the plant die like before. C．The plant had become a symbol of his own threatening health. D．His wife did not understand his special feelings for this plant. 4．Which can be a suitable title for the text? A．My lucky bamboo B．My wife and bamboo C．The benefits of keeping bamboo D．The way to keep bamboo 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．C 4．A 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者的经历，作者和妻子每次养室内植物都会失败，后来作者患癌后，养了一株竹子，作者也把竹子和自己的健康联系在一起。 1．细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Tending to the plant gave me a sense of accomplishment at a time when I sometimes felt useless.”（照顾这株植物给了我一种成就感，有时我觉得自己很没用。）可知，照顾植物给作者一种成就感。故选C。 2．词义猜测题。根据文章第二段“Over the next few months, I recovered from an operation. Even after I returned to work, I continued to care for the plant. Soon, it had nearly doubled in height and its leaves were shiny and lush (茂盛).”（在接下来的几个月里，我从手术中恢复过来。即使在我回到工作岗位后，我也继续照料这株植物。很快，它的高度几乎增加了一倍，叶子闪闪发光，郁郁葱葱。）叙述的是作者从手术中恢复，植物也长得很好；所以后文讲述的是“我”和植物都在茁壮成长。故选B。 3．推理判断题。根据文章第三段“‘If my lucky bamboo dies,’ I blurted out (脱口而出), ‘I might die too!’ Now that the tree was struggling, I felt increasingly fearful. Its browning leaves, I worried, might signal the recurrence of my brain cancer.”（“如果我的幸运竹子死了，”我脱口而出，“我也可能会死!”现在树在挣扎，我感到越来越害怕。我担心，它变黄的叶子可能是我脑癌复发的信号。）可知，作者见到绿植落叶的时候，感到很焦虑是因为作者把绿植当做自己健康的象征，所以如果绿植死了，就意味着作者自己的死亡。故选C。 4．主旨大意题。根据第二段“My friend Mitch gave me what he said was a lucky bamboo plant in a deep-green pottery bowl with three pencil-sized stalks braided together.”（我的朋友米奇送给我一个深绿色的陶碗，里面有三根铅笔大小的茎，他说这是一株幸运的竹子。）及全文可知，文章主要讲述了作者的经历，作者和妻子每次养室内植物都会失败，后来作者患癌后，养了一株竹子，作者也把竹子和自己的健康联系在一起。所以“A Healing Bamboo(一株有治疗功用的竹子)”。符合本文标题。故选A。 Passage 2 （24-25高一下·安徽滁州·期末） As soon as the words left my mouth, I knew I’d made a mistake. “You think Jane Austen is ...soft?” the man opposite me asked in disbelief. Then, he and his colleague took turns to challenge my claim, finishing each other’s sentences as they stressed that Austen’s novels were, in fact, savage. “I just mean…” I said in a bright voice, trying to keep the tone light, “that she’s not as biting as Virginia Woolf.” The two professors battled this idea around, too, like a couple of cats toying with a frightened bird giving specific examples of how Austen’s work was, on the contrary, more biting than Woolf’s. With no more defensive action to take, I simply smiled and said, “Let’s just agree to disagree, shall we?” And at that moment, my dreams of going to Oxford University disappeared in a puff of smoke. Part of my problem, was a lack of confidence. Even though I was a straight A student and had prepared for the interview to the best of my ability, I wasn’t a skilled debater. When faced with two experts who told me that I was wrong, instead of defending myself, I rolled over and accepted defeat. To pass the interview, you need more than confidence, of course. You also need a burning passion for your subject, not just a strong interest. In other words, don’t put comments on your personal statement that you’re not prepared to back up in person. Unfortunately, I made the error. So, months later, I already knew the contents of my thin envelope when it appeared on my doormat. Naturally, I felt a pang of disappointment. But, looking back, that wasn’t necessarily a bad thing. Instead of going to Oxford, I found a university that was a better fit for my interests. I loved my eclectic (兼容并蓄的) course, where I could write an essay comparing Jane Eyre to 50 Shades of Grey. Failing my Oxford interview also provided a valuable life lesson. I’m now more confident in my opinions, more passionate when it comes to debate, and I try to back up my points with hard evidence. What’s more, I have never since ended a discussion by giving a simpering smile (傻笑) and saying, “Let’s just agree to disagree, shall we?” 1．What does the underline word “savage” mean in paragraph 1? A．full of irony. B．full of romance C．involving strong criticism D．reflecting the reality 2．According to the author, the real reason why she failed in her interview was that_________. A．she didn’t maintain her claim. B．she argued with the interviewers fiercely. C．she admitted that she was wrong too quickly. D．she didn’t make adequate preparations for her claim. 3．Which of the following statements is true about the author? A．She was not so eager as other students to go to Oxford. B．She finally fulfilled her dream of studying in Oxford. C．She entered a university more suitable to develop her interest. D．She was disappointed about the university she finally entered. 4．After failing the Oxford interview, the author learned that _______. A．one should back up her points with hard evidence confidently. B．the ability to debate was the only thing matters in an interview. C．finding what her real passions were was the most urgent thing to do. D．respecting different opinions was very important to an interviewee. 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．C 4．A 【导语】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者在文中讲述了自己面试牛津大学失败的经历，虽然面试失败了，但是作者明白了应该自信地用确凿的证据来支持自己观点的道理。 1．词句猜测题。根据第一段“As soon as the words left my mouth, I knew I’d made a mistake. ‘You think Jane Austen is… soft?’ the man opposite me asked in disbelief.(话一出口，我就知道我犯了个错误。“你认为简·奥斯汀是……温和的？”我对面的人难以置信地问)”以及画线词上文“Then, he and his colleague took turns to challenge my claim, finishing each other’s sentences as they stressed that Austen’s novels were, in fact, savage. (然后，他和他的同事轮流挑战我的说法，结束自己的话时都强调奥斯汀的小说实际上是savage)”可知，针对作者认为简奥斯汀的小说是温和的想法，面试官和他的同事轮流表达了不同的看法，因此推断他们认为奥斯汀的小说并不“soft (温和的，不猛烈的)”，即“savage”，结合选项，“involving strong criticism(包括强烈的批评)”与“soft”意思相反，与“savage”意思相近。故选C项。 2．推理判断题。根据第三段中“With no more defensive action to take, I simply smiled and said, ‘Let’s just agree to disagree, shall we?’ And at that moment, my dreams of going to Oxford University disappeared in a puff of smoke.(没有更多的辩护措施，我只是笑着说，‘让我们求同存异吧，好吗？就在那一刻，我去牛津大学的梦想就像一缕青烟一样消失了)”和最后一段中“What’s more, I have never since ended a discussion by giving a simpering smile (傻笑) and saying, ‘Let’s just agree to disagree, shall we?’(更重要的是，从那以后，我从来没有在讨论结束时露出一个傻笑，然后说：“让我们求同存异吧，好吗？”)”可推知，作者在牛津面试中没有坚持自己的观点，选择了求同存异，这就是他面试失败的原因。故选A项。 3．细节理解题。根据第五段中“Instead of going to Oxford, I found a university that was a better fit for my interests.(我没有去牛津，而是找到了一所更符合我兴趣的大学)”可知，她进入了一所更适合发展她兴趣的大学，所以C项正确。故选C项。 4．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Failing my Oxford interview also provided a valuable life lesson. I’m now more confident in my opinions, more passionate when it comes to debate, and I try to back up my points with hard evidence.(牛津面试失败也给我上了宝贵的人生一课。现在我对自己的观点更有信心了，在辩论时也更有激情了，而且我会试着用确凿的证据来支持我的观点)”可推知，作者从她的面试经验中学到：一个人应该自信地用确凿的证据来支持自己的观点。故选A项。 1 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 专题02 阅读理解（记叙文） 答案版 主题01 人与自我——生活与学习 Passage 1：1．D　2．A　3．C　4．D Passage 2：1．B　2．C　3．A　4．D Passage 3：1．B　2．A　3．C　4．A Passage 4：1．C　2．B　3．B　4．A Passage 5：1．D　2．B　3．C　4．B Passage 6：1．A　2．D　3．C　4．A 主题02 人与社会——社会与文化 Passage 1：1．B　2．C　3．A　4．D Passage 2：1．D　2．D　3．A　4．B Passage 3：1．A　2．D　3．A　4．C Passage 4：1．D　2．A　3．C　4．B 主题01 人与社会——社会与文化 Passage 1：1．C　2．D　3．C　4．D Passage 2：1．B　2．A　3．D　4．B Passage 3：1．A　2．D　3．B　4．C Passage 4：1．A　2．B　3．B　4．D Passage 5：1．C　2．B　3．A　4．B 主题02 人与自我——生活与学习 Passage 1：1．C　2．B　3．C　4．A Passage 2：1．C　2．A　3．C　4．A 1 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
