Passage 1
(24-25高一下·浙江嘉兴·期末)
When Blumberg was a child, her mom, Goldstein, always volunteered to craft (手工制作) costumes for the class plays, not just Blumberg’s costume, but for the entire class, knitting (编织) into the midnight.
Two years ago, Goldstein passed away. While packing up her mother’s belongings, Blumberg found an unfinished knit sweater which was obviously intended for her. She brought it to a local knitting store to be finished. The employees there, in turn, put her in contact with another shop — Loose Ends, an organization that matches people who have unfinished work from loved ones with crafters in their area who can finish projects like knitting, all at no charge.
Loose Ends linked her up with a nearby finisher, Anna Minmier. In the evenings, Minmier’s fingers danced a waltz she had memorized so perfectly in the 20 years since she took up knitting as a 9-year-old. Minmier spent months finishing the sweater, and said she was happy to have a part in what she saw as a beautiful story that united generations. The project reminded her of her grandmother, who was a knitter as well, until her health condition made it hard to complete those graceful waltz-like movements. “Honestly, it feels a little selfish,” Minmier said, laughing. “I get to do my hobby, and I don’t have to pay for any of the supplies. It is also an opportunity for me to strengthen my skill set and keep my mind as sharp as my needles (缝衣针).”
With every movement of her needles, the project advanced to completion. Minmier was looking forward to that moment when Blumberg could hold and hug the memories of her mother. “It’s not just being nice,” said Loose Ends co-founder Jennifer Simonic. “It’s making sure people have these material objects that they can hug when they’re missing a person. That’s a big deal.”
1.Why did Blumberg bring the sweater to a local knitting store?
A.To get it completed. B.To contact with Loose Ends.
C.To determine its worth. D.To learn knitting from crafters.
2.Which of the following words can best describe Minmier?
A.Selfish but clever. B.Creative and energetic.

3.What do Simonic’s words in the last paragraph indicate?
A.The future of knitting. B.The value of the project.
C.The importance of kindness. D.The necessity of memory keeping.
4.What can be a suitable title for the text?
A.A Tight-Knit Community. B.A Treasure from Loved Ones.

Passage 2
(24-25高一下·浙江宁波三锋联盟·期末)
This year I am living abroad in Germany and trying to learn as much German as possible. But one thing I didn’t realize was how many new words I would face every day. I see and hear new words everywhere: the notices in the train station; menus in restaurants; the local newspaper and of course from my German-speaking friends. New words are all around you when you are in a foreign country.
At first, a lot of German words I didn’t understand gave me a headache. I kept on looking up new words, but by the end of the day I had forgotten most of them already. It upset me. A month later, I went to a shop and bought a small notebook. I set myself the goal of writing five new words a day into my little blue notebook. Since then, in my bag, I have always carried an important thing — my little blue word notebook.
I don’t have any rules about which words I write down. Most days I write down words that I learn from my partners at work, or words that I have read. I have also learned the names of many fruits and vegetables from looking at their labels in the supermarket — a very unexpected way of learning words. And I have learned many words that I have heard on TV or on the radio. If I hear a word that I even don’t know how to spell, I write down how I think it is and look it up later.
My little blue word notebook is now like my closest friend. We are like Batman and Robin; we go everywhere together. Setting the small daily goal has made me feel much more in control of my language learning and I am already seeing an improvement. I will continue to use it for the rest of my stay in Germany and also when I return to university at home in September.
5.What surprised the author when living in Germany?

A.By asking friends to dictate words.
B.By noting down any unfamiliar words.

A.To show the notebook is as famous as superheroes.
B.To express her deep love and dependence on the notebook.
C.To suggest she wants to be a superhero in language learning.
D.To prove that learning German is as exciting as superhero stories.
8.What is the best title for the passage?

Passage 3
(24-25高一下·浙江山海高中共富联盟·联考)
Jarrett Little was testing his mountain bike outside of Columbus, Georgia, when his riding partner, Chris Dixon, stopped suddenly. Something in the distance moving among the trees had caught his attention. It turned out to be a sandy-colored five month-old puppy.
“He was really thin, ribs showing, and a broken leg,” The cyclists said, feeding the friendly pup and sharing their water. Then they also quickly realized that the dog was coming with them along the way, although they had no idea why. They were still more than seven miles from downtown. “But we couldn’t leave him in danger.” Little said.
Little had an idea. He carefully picked up his new friend and put the 38-pound dog’s hind legs into the back pockets of his cycling jacket, with front paws over his shoulders.
“He was injured, so he wasn’t trying to fight.” Little recalled.
They rode for 30 minutes to a bike store in town where they got more water and food for the dog. It was then and there that Andrea Shaw, a lawyer from Maine in town on business, happened by. The dog made a run for her, licking her. Shaw was smitten. After learning the story, she declared: “I am keeping this dog.” Shaw named him Columbo after the town where they’d met and scheduled an operation for its broken leg. Today, Columbo is living the high life on a farm with a horse and a pony, and a six-year-old boy keeps him company. As Dixon said, “He is the luckiest dog alive.”

Passage 4
(23-24高一下·浙江宁波奉化区·期末)
27-year-old Alexandra Knox, from Newcastle, moved in with Florence Smith after starting a master’s degree. Having quite possibly the largest age gap (差距) of any housemates in the UK, the pair say they hit it off and have a great time living together. They watch afternoon TV together, chat over a cup of tea, and do some of the cleaning together — “It’s no different from living with university students,” said Alexandra.
Florence has lived in the London home for over 50 years. Having retired from her job at the age of 70, and with her family living far away, she was left on her own. To avoid feeling lonely, she signed up for house sharing with Homeshare, the charity which paired her with Alexandra.
“Sharing your home is a great idea. Loneliness is horrible. Having someone else in the home makes a big difference. You don’t have to worry about falling over or hurting yourself. And more importantly, it’s lovely to have somebody to talk to during the day,” Florence said.
Florence added, “I was already 67 years old when my housemate was born, and when I told my friends about it, they thought it was strange. But the more they find out about it, the more they think it’s a very good idea.”
Alexandra said she was originally frightened by the idea of moving to London and living with an older person, but she thinks it has made her experience in the capital much better and has been a great way to cover sky-high rental costs. “It just didn’t seem like the normal thing to do, living with an older person,” she explained. “But now it’s like being with an old family friend. It gives me somewhere homely to come back to in the evening, which is great.”
13.What does the underlined part “hit it off ” in the first paragraph probably mean?
A.Have quarrels. B.Get along well.
C.Be bored. D.Get used to new environments.
14.Why does Florence share her flat?
A.To support students. B.To cut down on living costs.
C.To get someone to do housework. D.To have someone’s company.
15.What is Florence’s friends attitude to the housemates — Florence and Alexandra?
A.Unclear. B.Disapproved. C.Favorable. D.Doubtful.
16.What was Alexandra afraid of at first?
A.The study pressure of her master’s degree. B.Living with an old woman in London.
C.The high rental costs in London. D.Being away from her family.
Passage 5
(23-24高一下·浙江温州·期末)
On a Saturday morning last November, I got up at 5 to be at the Armory track on 168th Street in Harlem, a neighborhood in Manhattan for the girls’4×2 relay race (接力赛).
I joined the team when I was a freshman at Abraham Lincoln High School. I hadn’t considered it until a girl came up to me and said, “You look like a good runner. Would you like to join the track team?” She thought I would make a good runner because she saw my legs and arms were built, but I was just naturally slim.
I was excited and surprised, “I don’t know. What do I have to do?”
“It is a lot of hard work and devotion. It’s not easy.”
She was right. My team had practice every day from 3:30 to 6 except for Fridays. When we didn’t have practice, I’d run on my own on the boardwalk. I got faster and focused. Track helped me get away from troubles. Arguments with my mom, problems with schoolwork, and dramas with the kids at school. I felt calm every time I ran.
I got to the Armory at 7. My team was already there. We gave each other hugs and high fives. When the officials called for the relay race, I went out to the starting line. Then the gun went off. As I pounded the track, I was focusing so much on myself. I started running away from my problems. I couldn’t see anyone or anything but the finish line. Everything else was just a blur. I fought to the finish line. I wasn’t only fighting against the other teams; I was also fighting to win my battle against my stress.
I could feel the wind blowing against my skin. I felt like I was flying. My stress disappeared. I came in second as I passed the baton (接力棒) to my teammate.

Passage 6
(23-24高一下·浙江衢州·期末)
There’s comfort in the bottom of a swimming pool.
In the open air, the noises all demanded your attention: the lifeguard’s whistle, the slapping of feet across the ground, the voices asking for different things. It reminded me of the school cafeteria, packed with kids: too loud to read a book in. But beneath the surface, things were quiet. The sounds that used to annoy me lost all their power. Instead, they mixed with the splashing of the water and the gentle blub-blub of air bubbles escaping my nose. All the noises worked together to create a symphony. Harmony.
Perhaps the best thing about the bottom of a swimming pool, though, was that at the bottom of a swimming pool, I was alone. I didn’t have to worry about anyone splashing or kicking or making fun of me. They were all far, far away up on the surface. It was only me. Just me.
I used to wish I could live underwater. Mermaids (美人鱼) didn’t have to go to school. Mermaids didn’t call other mermaids nerds (怪胎).
But once, when I came up for air, I spotted a girl my age at the other side of the pool. We locked eyes before I went back under, just for a second. I didn’t think anything of it — girls like her usually didn’t want to be seen around me — until I felt a soft tug on my ankle, and I spied her next to me. She actually wanted to talk to me. She wanted to be friends.
So we talked. And I found out that she liked Pokémon and Warrior Cats just like I did. And we competed to see who could make the biggest splash, and when it got dark and the lights came on, we explored the depths of the pool together.
I didn’t spend so much time at the bottom of a swimming pool after that. How could I when there was so much waiting for me on the surface?
21.What does the author think of the school cafeteria?
A.Crowded and noisy. B.Quiet and empty.
C.Harmonious and lively. D.Comfortable and satisfying.
22.The author mentions mermaids in paragraph 4 to .

B.highlight his love of reading literature
C.stress his desire for peace and being alone
D.share his imagination of the underwater world
23.What was the author’s attitude toward the girl at first?
A.Curious. B.Grateful. C.Impatient. D.Uninterested.
24.Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A.The Girl Who Saved Me B.The Benefits of Swimming
C.The Bottom of a Swimming Pool D.The School Troubles that Pained Me

Passage 1
(23-24高一下·浙江湖州·期末)
Smartphone ownership among younger children is increasing rapidly. Parents of younger children may occasionally look at their child’s phone to check whether it’s being used responsibly and safely. But as children mature into teens, parental inspections will likely feel like an invasion (侵犯) of privacy. So, what do parents need to consider when making the “phone rules” for their children as they get older?
Parents get their younger children phones for many reasons. Some feel it’ll help keep kids safe when, for example, travelling on their own to and from school. Others have bought one after intense pressure from their child or worry their child will be left out socially if all their friends have a phone. Some also tell me they are reluctant to let their child use the parents’phone for fear of risking important work files or information stored on the phone.
Parents understandably want their children to be safe. Monitoring may be part of this, but it’s not the whole story. Education and open dialogue about phone safety should begin the day the child gets their phone and continue as they grow. This may include controls, restrictions and monitoring, but does not necessarily need to include phone checking. Establishing the rules on safety and well-being for using the phone is the key. This means talking to the children about how and when they use their phone, why they shouldn’t answer unknown texts and calls, beware of giving out personal information online, and about being kind online. Let the children know they can always talk to their parents if they have a weird or bad experience online.
As children mature, parental guidance also needs to change. After about 12 months of the child’s phone ownership, checking phone s needs to fade, and ongoing open communication needs to become the mainstay. Parents may also try new ways of using the phone or certain apps together with their child. For example, they can use the screentime feature to discuss, and be aware of their developing phone habits.
1.Which of the following is the reason for parents’ buying their children smartphones?
A.Knowing children’s school life. B.Following others’ steps.
C.Taking online courses. D.Sharing their life at work.
2.What’s likely to threaten children’s safety?
A.Keeping secret of their personal information. B.Answering unknown texts and calls.
C.Setting up rules on safety of using the phone. D.Chatting with their parents about their phone use.
3.What does the underlined word “weird” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A.Strange. B.Pleasant. C.Precious. D.Ordinary.
4.What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A.Checking phones is the best way to ensure children’s online safety.
B.Open dialogues between parents and children improve their relationship.
C.Using screentime feature is helpful to prevent giving out personal information.
D.Parental guidance should be based on solving problems together and respectfully.

Passage 2
(24-25高一下·浙江金华·期末)
Bennett was born with a disability that led to the amputation (截肢) of his foot when he was a baby, but the 55-year-old never let it hold back the pursuit of his passion: surfing. He has traveled the world surfing, making it to some of the most famous big wave surfing spots in places like Indonesia, Hawaii, Australia, and Portugal. He’s also represented his country in a para-surfing (残疾人冲浪) championship.
“The ocean is my happy place, ” said Bennett. “When I’m riding a wave, nothing else matters, nothing else is there — it is just me and that wave and feeling that glide and that ride. ”
He grew up a “water baby” and since his father was a big swimmer, the progression to surfing came naturally, despite his missing foot. For his whole adult life, Bennett has been at the crest (巅峰) of the wave of para-surfing, which has gone through a huge transformation.
The turning point came in 2015 when the International Surfing Association (ISA) hosted the first Para Surfing World Championship — bringing together surfers from all the nations. Since then, the sport has exploded in popularity with para-surfing, with its community becoming the fastest-growing part of the surfing world. Team England para-surfing team is now ranked seventh in the world, led by Bennett’s instruction and inspiration.
He explained that within the para-surfing community there are people with all kinds of disabilities. “I coached someone with brain diseases. I have got some blind guys that I coach, obviously some amputees, ” he said. “If somebody has got a disability and they want to get in the ocean and catch waves, I can make it happen. I don’t believe in barriers. I believe in we can do it. ”

Passage 3
(24-25高一下·浙江台州·期末)
It was 3 a.m. when my phone buzzed (嗡嗡声) repeatedly, disturbing my baby who had just fallen asleep after an hour of rocking. It was a WhatsApp message from a mom friend. The screen lit up with a flood of messages — fellow moms discussing sleeping training, arranging playdates, and sharing Instagram posts about motherhood. Their cheerful “We can do this, mamas!” only increased my tiredness. The blue light from my phone screen left me wide awake with a racing heart.
It’s in this moment that I made my change, sliding my finger down from the top right-hand corner of my phone to access the control centre, hitting wildly at the little moon pattern that stops notifications (通知) in their tracks, and hanging up my virtual door sign: Do Not Disturb.
That was three years ago. Since then, I’ve seldom turned notifications back on, except when waiting for important calls. I do not want to be disturbed; nor, actually, do I want my phone to demand as much of my attention as my now toddler (学步儿童) or his new baby brother does. Sure, I’m not easily reachable, which upsets my partner, but I’m calmer not being always there for the world and those WhatsApp-mad moms.
I still work on my self-control to avoid checking my phone all the time for fear of missing out. The pull of unread messages is strong, but in general, the benefit to my mental health, sleep, and parenting is obvious. My phone is still a big part of my life, but it no longer disturbs my daily life as much as before.
I believe this change has made me a better and more caring mother. There are, after all, few things that seek quite as much attention as toddlers and WhatsApp groups. Given the choice, I’d rather focus on my three-year-old trying to climb curtains, put the dog in the washing machine, or feed his baby brother a stick of chalk than on a phone buzzing with notifications pretending to be urgent.
9.What made the author turn on “Do Not Disturb” three years ago?
A.Nonstop late-night messages. B.Complaints about phone overuse.
C.Pointless mom-group chats. D.Failures in baby sleeping training.
10.)Why does the author mention her children in paragraph 3?
A.To show her busy schedules.
B.To describe her family affairs.
C.To explain her turning off notifications.
D.To compare her children’s attention needs.
11.What is the author’s current phone usage like?
A.She maintains strict control over notifications.
B.She checks messages continuously for updates.
C.She feels pressured to respond to every group message.
D.She finds it impossible to balance phone use with parenting.
12.What is the author’s main purpose in writing this article?
A.To share her phone-habit change.
B.To solve problems in socializing.
C.To warn against smartphone overuse.
D.To discuss digital-age parenting struggles.
Passage 4
(24-25高一下·浙江宁波慈溪·期末)
Last week, I visited my local bank to put a cheque into my account. While the procedure itself was relatively simple and user-friendly, I chose to double-check the details with the teller (出纳员) to ensure accuracy. The teller, apparently new to role, was unsure about the steps. He called his manager for assistance. The manager patiently explained everything to me, and I really appreciated what he did.
However, as the manager explained the steps, I couldn’t help but notice the teller’s lack of engagement. Instead of absorbing the guidance, he occupied himself with something else. What struck me most was the manager’s passive response to this behavior. Rather than encouraging the teller to focus on his instruction attentively, he simply completed the task himself and returned to his office.
On my way home, reflecting on the situation, I realized that the manager failed to use a preventive method. This might lead to the teller’s asking for help again in the future, causing the manager to repeatedly leave his desk to manage the same issues. This would definitely interrupt the manager’s routine work and waste his precious time, which could otherwise be better spent on his core duties. Obviously, if the root cause of the problem is not solved, such situation will happen more than once again, and it will potentially affect customer satisfaction.
This experience reveals a fundamental truth: It is a must to enable people to handle tasks independent of external assistance. We shouldn’t emphasize the significance of having a clear vision too much. It involves predicting future needs and making the right moves to solve them. Thus, we should begin with the end in mind, planning for long-term success. After all, sustainable success begins not with fixing today’s issues, but with preventing tomorrow’s.
13.Why did the teller turn to the manager for help?
A.He was busy with other affairs.
B.The procedure was too complex.
C.He had uncertainty as a new employee.
D.The matter was not in the charge of him.
14.What kind of help did the manager offer to the teller?
A.Absolute replacement. B.Passive response.
C.Professional guidance. D.Sincere encouragement.
15.What key strategy does the author recommend to solve such issues?
A.Making a further plan about regulation.
B.Emphasizing the importance of prevention.
C.Having a clear vision of personal development.
D.Cultivating independence through empowerment.
16.Which of the following proverbs best matches the main idea of the text?
A.Many hands make light work.
B.Nothing is difficult to the man who will try.
C.Hope for the best and prepare for the worst.
D.Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.
Passage 5
(23-24高一下·浙江台州·期末)
Growing up in rural (农村的) communities, I always had a love of the countryside, animals and nature. The books I read as a child often had animals at their heart — The Owl Who was Afraid of the Dark, Charlotte’s Web.
Farming, however, was something I experienced later in life, in my teenage years. It’s something I instantly connected with, and I feel fortunate that my children have been able to grow up helping out on the farm and spending lots of time with our livestock and pets.
It’s so important to get a connection with farming at an early stage. We all eat food, so being familiar with where it comes from and what goes into producing it is a natural thing. If a spark of interest can be ignited early, it can only be a good thing going forward. It’s a joy to see the children’s faces light up on school visits when they see the photos of animals on our family farm and watch the video of an egg hatching (孵化). Animals have a unique magic all of their own.
Being around animals also teaches children what they can take with them into adulthood. It builds foundations of responsibility, kindness, as well as perseverance and problem solving. We work together as a family a lot on the farm, which builds a strong work ethic and a sense of teamwork — both fantastic life skills.

Passage 6
(24-25高一下·浙江宁波宁波九校·期末)
I was fortunate to be raised in a traditional Karuk family — practicing dipnet fishing, renewal ceremonies, and cultural fire in harmony with nature’s cycles. When I was growing up, my dad would return from the fishery with a truck full of salmon (鲑鱼). We’d stay up late processing fish and hanging pieces in the smokehouse. As Karuk Va’araaras, we are salmon people, river people, and fix-the-world people. Our relationship with salmon is mutual; as long as we fish, the salmon will journey upriver to provide for us.
In 2000, the Klamath River turned bright green with harmful algae (海藻) as PacifiCorp sought a 50-year license renewal (许可证续期) for its hydroelectric dams. Built in the 20th century, the dams caused severe environmental harm. During the 2001 drought, native communities called for federal action to save the river. Initially, the Bureau of Reclamation limited water deliveries to protect endangered fish, but farmers, fearing crop failures due to water shortages, successfully pressured the Bush administration to change the decision.
In 2002, summer heat and low river flows led to a massive fish kill — 34,000 dead salmon lying on the Klamath’s banks. The smell still stays in our collective memory.
As the dams came up for Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) review, we made statements in hearings. Around a fire, we resolved to fight for dam removal, forming the Klamath Justice Coalition (KJC). Over 20 years, we protested at shareholders’ meetings, and gathered thousands under the slogan: “Undam the Klamath, Bring the Salmon Home!”
On November 17, 2022, FERC approved the removal of the dams. Watching the Klamath River flow freely for the first time in over a century is profound. Our Creator’s call to action in 2002 inspired a movement, empowering a new generation of protectors. As the river heals, so do we. Bring the salmon home indeed.
21.Which of the following best summarizes the relationship between the Karuk tribe and the Klamath River?
A.Food and identity source. B.Boundary between groups.
C.River health over tribe needs. D.Unconditional protection of ecosystems.
22.What immediate consequence followed the Bush administration’s policy change in 2001?
A.The disastrous fish kill in 2002.
B.PacifiCorp’s license renewal for dams.
C.The formation of the Klamath Justice Coalition.
D.The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission’s review.
23.Which action directly contributed to the final approval of dam removal?
A.KJC’s conservation policy. B.Farmers’ withdrawal of protests.
C.FERC’s review process. D.Karuk’s traditional ceremonies.
24.What can we learn from this story?
A.Many hands make light work. B.Slow and steady wins the race.
C.Constant dropping wears the stone. D.He who plants a tree plants hope.

Passage 1
(24-25高一下·浙江衢州·期末)
Dozens of my middle school classmates walked around the statues in the National Museum of Anthropology in Mexico City while the staff tried to teach us about Mexico’s pre-Columbian heritage. Attracted by the statues, I got separated from the group, and for a few minutes, all I could hear was a respectful silence. Soon, a puzzling drum and flute filled the gallery’s emptiness, playing a piece of music I had never heard.
The rhythm (节奏) had me advancing toward it without realizing what I was doing. Suddenly I was outside the museum. The spell was cut off to search for a familiar face, and there it was: the face of my classmate Antonio. Also drawn by the music and curiosity, he had wandered outside as well. I arrived at his side just in time to watch the performance of “Los Voladores de Papantla” (the Papantla Flyers) — a ceremony born centuries ago to beg for rain during drought.
It includes five people climbing a very tall pole. One of the flyers remains atop the pole, playing a flute and drum, while the others, tied to ropes at the top of the pole, spin around the pole, slowly going down until they reach the ground. Each part of this ceremony is a symbol. The 4 flyers represent the 4 directions (North, South, East, and West) and the 4 earth elements (earth, water, air, and fire). They spin 13 times around the pole before landing, representing the 52 weeks of the year (13 times around the pole x 4 flyers=52).
Many years later, I was in Cholula, when I heard a flute and a drum inviting everyone in the city to see the ceremony. This time, I wasn’t looking for a familiar face under the spell of an unknown rhythm. My heart immediately recognized the sound, so I quickly took my husband’s hand and ran across the square, where the two of us found the best spot to watch the ceremony.
Sitting next to him, I was taken back to my youth, amazed by the flute, drum, and dancers flying above. This, along with the warm summer sun and Mexican candy on my face, made me feel like I was home. I was completely content.
1.Why was the writer outside the museum?
A.Because she got carried away by the music.
B.Because she hoped to see its architectural style.
C.Because she was annoyed with the noisy crowds.
D.Because she couldn’t find her classmate Antonio.
2.Why does the writer mention the numbers in paragraph 3?
A.To explain the symbolism of the dance.
B.To illustrate the history of the dance.
C.To stress the difficulty of the dance.
D.To relate the dance to ancient maths.
3.What does “the spell” refer to in paragraph 4?
A.The artistic depth. B.The simple structure.
C.The unique charm. D.The unusual strength.
4.Watching the dance again in Cholula, the writer felt a sense of ______.
A.curiosity B.belonging C.homesickness D.loneliness
Passage 2
(24-25高一下·浙江杭州上城区等5地·期末)
My backpack weighed 53 pounds, filled with dried food, water, and necessities for my first long-distance hike on Canada’s 180-kilometre Sunshine Coast Trail. The journey to the trailhead (登山口) was an adventure in itself — riding my motorcycle in the rain, taking buses, and finally a rubber boat to Sarah Point. As I set off, I felt a mix of excitement and fear. Backcountry trips weren’t new to me, but 15 days alone in the wilderness was a different beast.
I was fascinated with all the trail had to offer. Some parts were wide and flat, while others were narrow, steep, and even overgrown. Each night, I stayed in a different hut, living a unique life each day. At Bliss Portage Hut, I found peace on a hidden bench overlooking a forest. Sitting there, I realized how rare it is to have the forest completely to oneself.
Hiking develops a unique friendship. Along the way, I kept hearing about Pierre, a cheerful Frenchman with long, curly hair. When we finally met on Tin Hat Mountain, it felt like reuniting with an old friend. We laughed about how the trail had connected us before we even crossed paths. It struck me how such journeys remove pretences (做作), leaving only human connection.
Why do people hike? Is it for the views, the loneliness, or the challenge? For me, it was about independence and adventure, a chance to experience real life. The trail became a pilgrimage (朝圣之旅), reconnecting me with the world and myself. Each step reminded me of our smallness in the universe yet our great feelings.
Upon completion, I found my motorcycle, feeling a bittersweet mix of achievement and loss. Returning to city life felt dreamlike, as if the past 15 days had been a dream. The trail had changed me, teaching me to appreciate simpleness and freedom, lessons I’d carry long after the hike ended. Life on the trail was a reminder of what truly matters.
5.What did the author experience before getting to the trailhead?
A.He joined a package tour. B.He came across a wild beast.
C.He covered 180 kilometres. D.He used various means of transportation.
6.What was the trip like according to paragraph 2?
A.It was short of excitement. B.It was basically a desert hike.
C.It offered a variety of experiences. D.It brought a sense of loneliness.
7.What was the author’s friendship with Pierre based on?
A.Shared experience. B.Sincere care.
C.Similar backgrounds. D.Regular contacts.
8.What lesson might the author learn from the trip?
A.Simplicity and freedom are valuable.
B.Happiness is what truly matters.
C.Nothing can compare with city life.
D.Living a simple life is never possible.
Passage 3
(24-25高一下·浙江湖州·期末)
When 17-year-old Syrian refugee Hadi Al-Masri arrived in Berlin’s Tempelhof refugee (难民) shelter in 2018, he noticed two problems: the center’s poor WiFi left 300 students unable to do online schoolwork, and piles of abandoned smartphones filled donation bins. Then he had an idea that would change his community.
Using skills learned from repairing phones in war-torn Aleppo, Hadi began resurrecting broken devices. He turned a storage closet into a “tech clinic”, replacing cracked screens with plastic cut from water bottles and teaching himself Linux to revive motherboards. Within months, 40 repaired phones were circulating among students.
But his real innovation came when he discovered the shelter’s unused satellite dish. “It looked like a giant metal flower,” Hadi recalled. From YouTube, he learned to redirect the signal. Using cable from abandoned TVs and a router (路由器) made from three damaged units, he built “NetHope” — a network that boosted WiFi coverage to 95% of the community.
The system wasn’t pretty, but it worked. Refugee children could finally attend virtual classes uninterrupted. German teachers noticed improved grades, particularly among girls who previously had to choose between studying and waiting in food lines.
Hadi’s breakthrough went viral when a visiting journalist posted photos of his setup. Tech companies sent equipment, but Hadi insisted on teaching others first. His “Build Your Own Internet” workshops now train both refugees and elderly Germans in digital literacy (素养) . “The cables connect more than devices,” he said. “They connect people who think they’re different.”
Now studying computer engineering at TU Berlin, Hadi still volunteers at the shelter every weekend. His latest project? A solar-powered charging station built into an old supermarket trolley. When praised, he shrugs, “In Syria, we say necessity sharpens the mind. I just had good teachers — YouTube and desperation.”
9. What does the underlined word “resurrecting” mean in paragraph 2?
A.Throwing away. B.Selling for profits.
C.Repairing and reusing. D.Collecting for future use.
10.What was probably the MOST significant result of Hadi’s “NetHope” project?
A.It attracted tech companies to offer donations.
B.It made the refugee shelter famous on social media.
C.It aroused the community’s awareness of recycling and reusing.
D.Refugee children could attend online classes without interruption.
11.Why did Hadi insist on teaching others about the Internet first?
A.To follow the journalist’s advice.
B.To further improve his digital literacy.
C.To bridge the digital divide among people.
D.To show off his talent in computer engineering.
12.Which of the following best describes Hadi?
A.Talented but selfish. B.Brave and generous.
C.Knowledgeable but rude. D.Creative and warm-hearted.
Passage 4
(24-25高一下·浙江宁波海曙区宁波荣安实验中学·期末)
George Gershwin, born in 1898, was one of America's greatest composers. He published his first song when he was eighteen years old. During the next twenty years he wrote more than five hundred songs.
Many of Gershwin's songs were first written for musical plays performed in theatres in New York City. These plays were a popular form of entertainment in the 1920s and 1930s. Many of his songs have remained popular as ever. Over the years they have been sung and played in every possible way — from jazz to country.
In the 1920s there was a debate in the United States about jazz music. Could jazz, some people asked, be considered serious music? In 1924 jazz musician and orchestra leader Paul Whiteman decided to organize a special concert to show that jazz was serious music. Gershwin agreed to compose something for the concert before he realized he had just a few weeks to do it. And in that short time, he composed a piece for piano and orchestra which he called Rhapsody in Blue. Gershwin himself played the piano at the concert. The audience were thrilled when they heard his music. It made him world-famous and showed that jazz music could be both serious and popular.
In 1928, Gershwin went to Paris. He applied to study composition with the well-known musician Nadia Boulanger, but she rejected him. She was afraid that classical study would ruin his jazz-influenced style. While there, Gershwin wrote An American in Paris. When it was first performed, critics(评论家) were divided over the music. Some called it happy and full of life, to others it was silly and boring. But it quickly became popular in Europe and the United States. It still remains one of his most famous works.
George Gershwin died in 1937, just days after doctors learned he had brain cancer. He was only thirty-nine years old. Newspapers all over the world reported his death on their front pages.
13.Many of Gershwin's musical works were ______.
A.written about New Yorkers B.composed for Paul Whiteman
C.played mainly in the countryside D.performed in various ways
14.What do we know about the concert organized by Whiteman?
A.It attracted more people to theatres B.It proved jazz could be serious music
C.It made Gershwin leader of the orchestra D.It caused a debate among jazz musicians
15.What did Gershwin do during his stay in Paris?
A.He created one of his best works B.He studied with Nadia Boulanger
C.He argued with French critics D.He changed his music style
16.Which of the following best describes Gershwin?
A.Talented and productive. B.Serious and boring.
C.Popular and unhappy. D.Friendly and honest.
Passage 5
(23-24高一下·浙江宁波九校·期末)
Before going abroad, I was very concerned about culture shock, but it turned out that I had a harder time dealing with reverse (逆向的) culture shock when returning home. Coming back has been a tougher transition than expected. It’s not just about transitioning back to home life; it’s also about handling the strange situation of being a different person in the same old environment. I am most terrified of waking up in a few months and feeling like I’m the same person I was before I studied abroad.
This situation is especially strange with people who have known me for a long time, like my parents, who witnessed all my major life changes before this one. I didn’t realize how much I’d changed until I interacted with them and close friends. Despite only being away for three and a half months, I quickly noticed the differences between who I was before and who I am now. Over the past few weeks at home, I’ve been wondering how to maintain the positive changes and qualities gained from my semester abroad.
I’ve realized that surroundings and situations greatly influence mindset, and keeping a certain mindset while losing its corresponding (相对应的) environment is challenging. For instance, being in Madrid taught me to be more relaxed and stress-free. However, returning to Penn State with its demanding course load makes maintaining that mentality (心态) difficult. I’ve come to realize the problem that perpetual stress about school isn’t healthy, especially after experiencing a semester of travel, fun, and academic success. Therefore, I’ve decided to work hard and study as usual but occasionally give myself a break, and do what I can to avoid getting over-stressed about tests and assignments. This means I will put in effort when necessary in order to make sure I am always caught up or ahead of class material.
Coming home has been more challenging than expected, but I’m confident I’ll get through it in the next few weeks. Nevertheless, I’m determined to maintain the important lessons I learned about myself and others in Madrid.
17.What was the author’s biggest concern when returning home?
A.Going back to his original self. B.Adapting to new surroundings.
C.Experiencing culture shock. D.Missing old acquaintances.
18.What did the author realize after returning home?
A.He should make his family familiar with his positive changes.
B.He should change his mentality to care less about his study.
C.He should adapt his mindset to fit into the old learning environment.
D.He should apply himself to his study to stay ahead of class.
19.What does the underlined word “perpetual” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A.Current. B.Improper. C.Unnecessary. D.Continuous.
20.What is the passage mainly about?
A.The sufferings of reverse culture shock. B.The reflections on personal growth.
C.The adaptations to new environments. D.The success in academic performance.

Passage 1
(24-25高一下·浙江嘉兴·期末)
When Blumberg was a child, her mom, Goldstein, always volunteered to craft (手工制作) costumes for the class plays, not just Blumberg’s costume, but for the entire class, knitting (编织) into the midnight.
Two years ago, Goldstein passed away. While packing up her mother’s belongings, Blumberg found an unfinished knit sweater which was obviously intended for her. She brought it to a local knitting store to be finished. The employees there, in turn, put her in contact with another shop — Loose Ends, an organization that matches people who have unfinished work from loved ones with crafters in their area who can finish projects like knitting, all at no charge.
Loose Ends linked her up with a nearby finisher, Anna Minmier. In the evenings, Minmier’s fingers danced a waltz she had memorized so perfectly in the 20 years since she took up knitting as a 9-year-old. Minmier spent months finishing the sweater, and said she was happy to have a part in what she saw as a beautiful story that united generations. The project reminded her of her grandmother, who was a knitter as well, until her health condition made it hard to complete those graceful waltz-like movements. “Honestly, it feels a little selfish,” Minmier said, laughing. “I get to do my hobby, and I don’t have to pay for any of the supplies. It is also an opportunity for me to strengthen my skill set and keep my mind as sharp as my needles (缝衣针).”
With every movement of her needles, the project advanced to completion. Minmier was looking forward to that moment when Blumberg could hold and hug the memories of her mother. “It’s not just being nice,” said Loose Ends co-founder Jennifer Simonic. “It’s making sure people have these material objects that they can hug when they’re missing a person. That’s a big deal.”
1.Why did Blumberg bring the sweater to a local knitting store?
A.To get it completed. B.To contact with Loose Ends.

A.Selfish but clever. B.Creative and energetic.

Passage 2
(24-25高一下·浙江宁波三锋联盟·期末)
This year I am living abroad in Germany and trying to learn as much German as possible. But one thing I didn’t realize was how many new words I would face every day. I see and hear new words everywhere: the notices in the train station; menus in restaurants; the local newspaper and of course from my German-speaking friends. New words are all around you when you are in a foreign country.
At first, a lot of German words I didn’t understand gave me a headache. I kept on looking up new words, but by the end of the day I had forgotten most of them already. It upset me. A month later, I went to a shop and bought a small notebook. I set myself the goal of writing five new words a day into my little blue notebook. Since then, in my bag, I have always carried an important thing — my little blue word notebook.
I don’t have any rules about which words I write down. Most days I write down words that I learn from my partners at work, or words that I have read. I have also learned the names of many fruits and vegetables from looking at their labels in the supermarket — a very unexpected way of learning words. And I have learned many words that I have heard on TV or on the radio. If I hear a word that I even don’t know how to spell, I write down how I think it is and look it up later.
My little blue word notebook is now like my closest friend. We are like Batman and Robin; we go everywhere together. Setting the small daily goal has made me feel much more in control of my language learning and I am already seeing an improvement. I will continue to use it for the rest of my stay in Germany and also when I return to university at home in September.
5.What surprised the author when living in Germany?
A.The high cost of living in Germany.
B.The difficulty of learning German grammar.
C.The new German words she encountered daily.
D.The unfriendliness of local German speakers.
6.How does the author choose words for the notebook?
A.By asking friends to dictate words.
B.By noting down any unfamiliar words.
C.By copying restaurant menus entirely.
D.By selecting the hardest grammar rules.
7.Why did the writer compare her notebook to Batman and Robin?
A.To show the notebook is as famous as superheroes.
B.To express her deep love and dependence on the notebook.
C.To suggest she wants to be a superhero in language learning.
D.To prove that learning German is as exciting as superhero stories.
8.What is the best title for the passage?
A.How I Adapted to Life in Germany.

Passage 3
(24-25高一下·浙江山海高中共富联盟·联考)
Jarrett Little was testing his mountain bike outside of Columbus, Georgia, when his riding partner, Chris Dixon, stopped suddenly. Something in the distance moving among the trees had caught his attention. It turned out to be a sandy-colored five month-old puppy.
“He was really thin, ribs showing, and a broken leg,” The cyclists said, feeding the friendly pup and sharing their water. Then they also quickly realized that the dog was coming with them along the way, although they had no idea why. They were still more than seven miles from downtown. “But we couldn’t leave him in danger.” Little said.
Little had an idea. He carefully picked up his new friend and put the 38-pound dog’s hind legs into the back pockets of his cycling jacket, with front paws over his shoulders.
“He was injured, so he wasn’t trying to fight.” Little recalled.
They rode for 30 minutes to a bike store in town where they got more water and food for the dog. It was then and there that Andrea Shaw, a lawyer from Maine in town on business, happened by. The dog made a run for her, licking her. Shaw was smitten. After learning the story, she declared: “I am keeping this dog.” Shaw named him Columbo after the town where they’d met and scheduled an operation for its broken leg. Today, Columbo is living the high life on a farm with a horse and a pony, and a six-year-old boy keeps him company. As Dixon said, “He is the luckiest dog alive.”
9.What did Jarrett Little do to help the injured dog?
A.He let it ride on his bike. B.He put it in his bike basket.
C.He took it to a hospital directly. D.He carried it in his cycling jackets.
10.The underlined word “smitten” in Para 5 is closest in meaning to _____.
A.annoyed. B.attracted. C.confused. D.worried.
11.What can we infer about Jarrett Little from the story?
A.He was a good cyclist. B.He was cruel to animals.
C.He was a professional doctor. D.He was a responsible person.
12.Which of the following would be the best title for the text?
A.Dog with a Broken Leg. B.Mountain Biking Adventures.
C.A Lucky Dog’s Rescue Journey. D.A Kind Lawyer Named Andrea Shaw.
【答案】9.D 10.B 11.D 12.C

【导语】这是一篇记叙文,主要讲述了Jarrett Little和Chris Dixon在骑行途中发现一只受伤小狗,他们救助小狗,后来小狗被Andrea Shaw收养,过上美好生活的故事。

Passage 4
(23-24高一下·浙江宁波奉化区·期末)
27-year-old Alexandra Knox, from Newcastle, moved in with Florence Smith after starting a master’s degree. Having quite possibly the largest age gap (差距) of any housemates in the UK, the pair say they hit it off and have a great time living together. They watch afternoon TV together, chat over a cup of tea, and do some of the cleaning together — “It’s no different from living with university students,” said Alexandra.
Florence has lived in the London home for over 50 years. Having retired from her job at the age of 70, and with her family living far away, she was left on her own. To avoid feeling lonely, she signed up for house sharing with Homeshare, the charity which paired her with Alexandra.
“Sharing your home is a great idea. Loneliness is horrible. Having someone else in the home makes a big difference. You don’t have to worry about falling over or hurting yourself. And more importantly, it’s lovely to have somebody to talk to during the day,” Florence said.
Florence added, “I was already 67 years old when my housemate was born, and when I told my friends about it, they thought it was strange. But the more they find out about it, the more they think it’s a very good idea.”
Alexandra said she was originally frightened by the idea of moving to London and living with an older person, but she thinks it has made her experience in the capital much better and has been a great way to cover sky-high rental costs. “It just didn’t seem like the normal thing to do, living with an older person,” she explained. “But now it’s like being with an old family friend. It gives me somewhere homely to come back to in the evening, which is great.”
13.What does the underlined part “hit it off ” in the first paragraph probably mean?
A.Have quarrels. B.Get along well.
C.Be bored. D.Get used to new environments.
14.Why does Florence share her flat?
A.To support students. B.To cut down on living costs.
C.To get someone to do housework. D.To have someone’s company.
15.What is Florence’s friends attitude to the housemates — Florence and Alexandra?
A.Unclear. B.Disapproved. C.Favorable. D.Doubtful.
16.What was Alexandra afraid of at first?
A.The study pressure of her master’s degree. B.Living with an old woman in London.
C.The high rental costs in London. D.Being away from her family.
【答案】13.B 14.D 15.C 16.B

Passage 5
(23-24高一下·浙江温州·期末)
On a Saturday morning last November, I got up at 5 to be at the Armory track on 168th Street in Harlem, a neighborhood in Manhattan for the girls’4×2 relay race (接力赛).
I joined the team when I was a freshman at Abraham Lincoln High School. I hadn’t considered it until a girl came up to me and said, “You look like a good runner. Would you like to join the track team?” She thought I would make a good runner because she saw my legs and arms were built, but I was just naturally slim.
I was excited and surprised, “I don’t know. What do I have to do?”
“It is a lot of hard work and devotion. It’s not easy.”
She was right. My team had practice every day from 3:30 to 6 except for Fridays. When we didn’t have practice, I’d run on my own on the boardwalk. I got faster and focused. Track helped me get away from troubles. Arguments with my mom, problems with schoolwork, and dramas with the kids at school. I felt calm every time I ran.
I got to the Armory at 7. My team was already there. We gave each other hugs and high fives. When the officials called for the relay race, I went out to the starting line. Then the gun went off. As I pounded the track, I was focusing so much on myself. I started running away from my problems. I couldn’t see anyone or anything but the finish line. Everything else was just a blur. I fought to the finish line. I wasn’t only fighting against the other teams; I was also fighting to win my battle against my stress.
I could feel the wind blowing against my skin. I felt like I was flying. My stress disappeared. I came in second as I passed the baton (接力棒) to my teammate.
17.Why did the author take up running?
A.By chance. B.Due to stress. C.Out of interest. D.For weight loss.
18.What benefit did the author get from running?
A.Having a regular life style. B.Escaping from her problems.

Passage 6
(23-24高一下·浙江衢州·期末)
There’s comfort in the bottom of a swimming pool.
In the open air, the noises all demanded your attention: the lifeguard’s whistle, the slapping of feet across the ground, the voices asking for different things. It reminded me of the school cafeteria, packed with kids: too loud to read a book in. But beneath the surface, things were quiet. The sounds that used to annoy me lost all their power. Instead, they mixed with the splashing of the water and the gentle blub-blub of air bubbles escaping my nose. All the noises worked together to create a symphony. Harmony.
Perhaps the best thing about the bottom of a swimming pool, though, was that at the bottom of a swimming pool, I was alone. I didn’t have to worry about anyone splashing or kicking or making fun of me. They were all far, far away up on the surface. It was only me. Just me.
I used to wish I could live underwater. Mermaids (美人鱼) didn’t have to go to school. Mermaids didn’t call other mermaids nerds (怪胎).
But once, when I came up for air, I spotted a girl my age at the other side of the pool. We locked eyes before I went back under, just for a second. I didn’t think anything of it — girls like her usually didn’t want to be seen around me — until I felt a soft tug on my ankle, and I spied her next to me. She actually wanted to talk to me. She wanted to be friends.
So we talked. And I found out that she liked Pokémon and Warrior Cats just like I did. And we competed to see who could make the biggest splash, and when it got dark and the lights came on, we explored the depths of the pool together.
I didn’t spend so much time at the bottom of a swimming pool after that. How could I when there was so much waiting for me on the surface?
21.What does the author think of the school cafeteria?
A.Crowded and noisy. B.Quiet and empty.
C.Harmonious and lively. D.Comfortable and satisfying.
22.The author mentions mermaids in paragraph 4 to .
A.show his fondness of his schoolmates
B.highlight his love of reading literature
C.stress his desire for peace and being alone
D.share his imagination of the underwater world
23.What was the author’s attitude toward the girl at first?
A.Curious. B.Grateful. C.Impatient. D.Uninterested.
24.Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A.The Girl Who Saved Me B.The Benefits of Swimming
C.The Bottom of a Swimming Pool D.The School Troubles that Pained Me

Passage 1
(23-24高一下·浙江湖州·期末)
Smartphone ownership among younger children is increasing rapidly. Parents of younger children may occasionally look at their child’s phone to check whether it’s being used responsibly and safely. But as children mature into teens, parental inspections will likely feel like an invasion (侵犯) of privacy. So, what do parents need to consider when making the “phone rules” for their children as they get older?
Parents get their younger children phones for many reasons. Some feel it’ll help keep kids safe when, for example, travelling on their own to and from school. Others have bought one after intense pressure from their child or worry their child will be left out socially if all their friends have a phone. Some also tell me they are reluctant to let their child use the parents’phone for fear of risking important work files or information stored on the phone.
Parents understandably want their children to be safe. Monitoring may be part of this, but it’s not the whole story. Education and open dialogue about phone safety should begin the day the child gets their phone and continue as they grow. This may include controls, restrictions and monitoring, but does not necessarily need to include phone checking. Establishing the rules on safety and well-being for using the phone is the key. This means talking to the children about how and when they use their phone, why they shouldn’t answer unknown texts and calls, beware of giving out personal information online, and about being kind online. Let the children know they can always talk to their parents if they have a weird or bad experience online.
As children mature, parental guidance also needs to change. After about 12 months of the child’s phone ownership, checking phone s needs to fade, and ongoing open communication needs to become the mainstay. Parents may also try new ways of using the phone or certain apps together with their child. For example, they can use the screentime feature to discuss, and be aware of their developing phone habits.
1.Which of the following is the reason for parents’ buying their children smartphones?
A.Knowing children’s school life. B.Following others’ steps.
C.Taking online courses. D.Sharing their life at work.
2.What’s likely to threaten children’s safety?
A.Keeping secret of their personal information. B.Answering unknown texts and calls.
C.Setting up rules on safety of using the phone. D.Chatting with their parents about their phone use.
3.What does the underlined word “weird” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A.Strange. B.Pleasant. C.Precious. D.Ordinary.
4.What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A.Checking phones is the best way to ensure children’s online safety.
B.Open dialogues between parents and children improve their relationship.
C.Using screentime feature is helpful to prevent giving out personal information.
D.Parental guidance should be based on solving problems together and respectfully.

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了父母如何随着孩子年龄的增长调整他们对孩子使用智能手机的指导和规则。
1.推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Others have bought one after intense pressure from their child or worry their child will be left out socially if all their friends have a phone.(另一些人则是迫于孩子的巨大压力才买了手机,或者担心如果所有的朋友都有手机,孩子会被社会排斥。)”可知,其他父母购买智能手机是因为孩子强烈要求或担心孩子会因为所有朋友都有手机而被社会孤立。这可以看作是跟随他人步伐的行为。故选B。
2.推理判断题。根据文章第三段“This means talking to the children about how and when they use their phone, why they shouldn’t answer unknown texts and calls, beware of giving out personal information online, and about being kind online.(这意味着要告诉孩子们如何以及何时使用手机,为什么他们不应该接听未知的短信和电话,小心在网上泄露个人信息,以及在网上要善良。)”可知,父母应该和孩子谈论他们如何使用手机,为什么不应该回答未知的短信和电话,注意在网上不要泄露个人信息,以及在网上要友好。因此,回答未知的短信和电话可能会威胁到孩子的安全。故选B。
3.词句猜测题。根据上文“This means talking to the children about how and when they use their phone, why they shouldn’t answer unknown texts and calls, beware of giving out personal information online, and about being kind online.(这意味着要告诉孩子们如何以及何时使用手机,为什么他们不应该接听未知的短信和电话,小心在网上泄露个人信息,以及在网上要善良。)”可知,父母要帮助孩子建立使用手机的安全和健康规则,划线词所在的句子意思为:让孩子们知道,如果他们在网上有奇怪或糟糕的经历,他们可以随时告诉父母。由此可知,weird意为“奇怪的”。故选A。
4.推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“As children mature, parental guidance also needs to change. After about 12 months of the child's phone ownership, checking phone s needs to fade, and ongoing open communication needs to become the mainstay. Parents may also try new ways of using the phone or certain apps together with their child. For example, they can use the screentime feature to discuss, and be aware of their developing phone habits.(随着孩子的成熟,父母的指导也需要改变。在孩子拥有手机大约12个月后,查看手机的需求逐渐消失,持续的开放式交流需要成为主要内容。父母也可以和孩子一起尝试使用手机或某些应用程序的新方法。例如,他们可以使用屏幕时间功能来讨论,并意识到他们正在发展的手机习惯。)”可推知,家长指导应该是基于共同解决问题和尊重孩子的,而不是单纯的检查手机或限制使用。故选D。

(24-25高一下·浙江宁波奉化区·期末)
A 15-year-old Indian girl, Kumari, who pedalled her injured father more than a thousand kilometres across India, has been invited to try out for the national cycling team.
In January, a motor-bike driver, Mohan Paswan, who made a living by carrying passengers in New Delhi, was injured in a traffic accident. After the accident, Paswan couldn't drive. So his daughter, Kumari took a train across the country to take care of him. But without income, Paswan could no longer afford the rent and they were running out of food. They decided to go home. With the last $20, the 15-year-old girl bought an old bicycle, and planned to take her father to their home village across India --- in a heroic, life-saving ride.
Kumari rode a bicycle with her father, sitting on the pillion(后座)and holding their belongings from Gurugram city, near New Delhi, to their village in the northeastern state of Bihar. They arrived home on May 16 after covering 1,200 kilometres (745 miles) in seven days.
The father and daughter's arduous journey on a second-hand bike bought with their remaining funds made headlines. It also caught the attention of the Cycling Federation of India, which offered Kumari the chance to try out for the country's team. "She covered this long and difficult distance in seven days with her father and some luggage too. I thought she has something in her endurance level. We can try her," chairman Onkar Singh told the journalist.
“She said she only wants to pursue her studies. We told her that we also take care of studies at our academies. Singh said the federation would test Kumari to see if she is suitable for competitive cycling.
There were also other people who praised Kumari's efforts, describing it as a "'beautiful model of endurance and love."
1.What made Kumari have to ride a bike back home?
A.That her father was injured.
B.That she could only afford a bike.

【分析】这是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了一个15岁的女孩Kumari用一辆旧自行车带着受过伤的父亲和行李穿越印度回到家乡的故事。
1.推理判断题。根据第二段中“But without income, Paswan could no longer afford the rent and they were running out of food. They decided to go home. With the last $20, the 15-year-old girl bought an old bicycle, and planned to take her father to their home village across India --- in a heroic, life-saving ride.”(但没有收入,Paswan无力支付房租,他们的食物也快吃完了。他们决定回家。这个15岁的女孩用最后的20美元买了一辆旧自行车,打算带着她的父亲穿越印度回到他们的家乡——这是一次英勇的、拯救生命的旅程。)可知,Kumari不得不骑自行车回家,是因为家里剩的钱只能买得起一辆自行车了。故选B项。
2.词句猜测题。根据划线词句上一段“Kumari rode a bicycle with her father, sitting on the pillion(后座)and holding their belongings from Gurugram city, near New Delhi, to their village in the northeastern state of Bihar. They arrived home on May 16 after covering 1,200 kilometres (745 miles) in seven days.”( Kumari带着她的父亲骑着自行车,父亲坐在后座上,拿着他们的东西从新德里附近的Gurugram市前往他们位于印度东北部Bihar的村庄。他们在7天内行驶了1200公里(745英里)后,于5月16日回到家中。)可知,Kumari他们的旅途是多么艰辛,从而推断划线词句“The father and daughter's arduous journey on a second-hand bike bought with their remaining funds made headlines.”(这对父女骑着一辆用剩下的钱买的二手自行车arduous旅行成了头条新闻。)中的arduous应该是“艰辛的”意思,选项中D“艰难的”与之意义最为接近。故选D项。
3.推理判断题。根据第四段中Onkar Singh说的话“她带着父亲以及行李,用了七天的时间走完了这段又远又难的路程。我觉得她的耐力还算不错。”可知,Onkar Singh之所以邀请 Kumari 参加国家自行车队的选拔,是因为她有非凡的体能。故选A项。
4.推理判断题。通读全文,尤其根据第二段中“With the last $20, the 15-year-old girl bought an old bicycle, and planned to take her father to their home village across India --- in a heroic, life-saving ride.”(这个15岁的女孩用最后的20美元买了一辆旧自行车,打算带着她的父亲穿越印度回到他们的家乡——这是一次英勇的、拯救生命的旅程。)以及第三段中“They arrived home on May 16 after covering 1,200 kilometres (745 miles) in seven days.”(他们在7天内行驶了1200公里(745英里)后,于5月16日回到家中。)可知,Kumari孝敬父亲有爱心,并且体力强壮完成了这么远的骑车旅行。故选A项。
Passage 2
(24-25高一下·浙江金华·期末)
Bennett was born with a disability that led to the amputation (截肢) of his foot when he was a baby, but the 55-year-old never let it hold back the pursuit of his passion: surfing. He has traveled the world surfing, making it to some of the most famous big wave surfing spots in places like Indonesia, Hawaii, Australia, and Portugal. He’s also represented his country in a para-surfing (残疾人冲浪) championship.
“The ocean is my happy place, ” said Bennett. “When I’m riding a wave, nothing else matters, nothing else is there — it is just me and that wave and feeling that glide and that ride. ”
He grew up a “water baby” and since his father was a big swimmer, the progression to surfing came naturally, despite his missing foot. For his whole adult life, Bennett has been at the crest (巅峰) of the wave of para-surfing, which has gone through a huge transformation.
The turning point came in 2015 when the International Surfing Association (ISA) hosted the first Para Surfing World Championship — bringing together surfers from all the nations. Since then, the sport has exploded in popularity with para-surfing, with its community becoming the fastest-growing part of the surfing world. Team England para-surfing team is now ranked seventh in the world, led by Bennett’s instruction and inspiration.
He explained that within the para-surfing community there are people with all kinds of disabilities. “I coached someone with brain diseases. I have got some blind guys that I coach, obviously some amputees, ” he said. “If somebody has got a disability and they want to get in the ocean and catch waves, I can make it happen. I don’t believe in barriers. I believe in we can do it. ”
5.What do we know about Bennett according to the passage?
A.His surfing career started at 55. B.He has won many championships.
C.His father influenced his love for surfing. D.He lost his foot due to a surfing accident.
6.What was the significance of the first Para Surfing World Championship?

Passage 3
(24-25高一下·浙江台州·期末)
It was 3 a.m. when my phone buzzed (嗡嗡声) repeatedly, disturbing my baby who had just fallen asleep after an hour of rocking. It was a WhatsApp message from a mom friend. The screen lit up with a flood of messages — fellow moms discussing sleeping training, arranging playdates, and sharing Instagram posts about motherhood. Their cheerful “We can do this, mamas!” only increased my tiredness. The blue light from my phone screen left me wide awake with a racing heart.
It’s in this moment that I made my change, sliding my finger down from the top right-hand corner of my phone to access the control centre, hitting wildly at the little moon pattern that stops notifications (通知) in their tracks, and hanging up my virtual door sign: Do Not Disturb.
That was three years ago. Since then, I’ve seldom turned notifications back on, except when waiting for important calls. I do not want to be disturbed; nor, actually, do I want my phone to demand as much of my attention as my now toddler (学步儿童) or his new baby brother does. Sure, I’m not easily reachable, which upsets my partner, but I’m calmer not being always there for the world and those WhatsApp-mad moms.
I still work on my self-control to avoid checking my phone all the time for fear of missing out. The pull of unread messages is strong, but in general, the benefit to my mental health, sleep, and parenting is obvious. My phone is still a big part of my life, but it no longer disturbs my daily life as much as before.
I believe this change has made me a better and more caring mother. There are, after all, few things that seek quite as much attention as toddlers and WhatsApp groups. Given the choice, I’d rather focus on my three-year-old trying to climb curtains, put the dog in the washing machine, or feed his baby brother a stick of chalk than on a phone buzzing with notifications pretending to be urgent.
9.What made the author turn on “Do Not Disturb” three years ago?
A.Nonstop late-night messages. B.Complaints about phone overuse.
C.Pointless mom-group chats. D.Failures in baby sleeping training.
10.)Why does the author mention her children in paragraph 3?
A.To show her busy schedules.
B.To describe her family affairs.
C.To explain her turning off notifications.
D.To compare her children’s attention needs.
11.What is the author’s current phone usage like?
A.She maintains strict control over notifications.
B.She checks messages continuously for updates.
C.She feels pressured to respond to every group message.
D.She finds it impossible to balance phone use with parenting.
12.What is the author’s main purpose in writing this article?
A.To share her phone-habit change.
B.To solve problems in socializing.
C.To warn against smartphone overuse.
D.To discuss digital-age parenting struggles.
【答案】9.A 10.C 11.A 12.A

9.细节理解题。根据文章第一段“It was a WhatsApp message from a mom friend. The screen lit up with a flood of messages — fellow moms discussing sleeping training, arranging playdates, and sharing Instagram posts about motherhood. Their cheerful “We can do this, mamas!” only increased my tiredness. The blue light from my phone screen left me wide awake with a racing heart.(那是一位妈妈朋友发来的WhatsApp消息,屏幕上瞬间弹出大量信息——妈妈们在讨论睡眠训练、安排亲子聚会,分享关于育儿的Instagram帖子。她们那句欢快的“妈妈们,我们能行!”反而让我更加疲惫。手机屏幕的蓝光让我心跳加速,毫无睡意。)”以及第二段“It’s in this moment that I made my change, sliding my finger down from the top right-hand corner of my phone to access the control centre, hitting wildly at the little moon pattern that stops notifications (通知) in their tracks, and hanging up my virtual door sign: Do Not Disturb.(就在那一刻,我做出了改变:手指从手机右上角下滑打开控制中心,急切地点击那个像月亮的图标,它能阻止通知弹出,也相当于挂上了虚拟的“请勿打扰”牌。)”可知,,作者在凌晨3点被手机不断震动的WhatsApp消息打扰,导致宝宝醒来,随后决定开启“请勿打扰”模式。故选A。
10.推理判断题。根据文章第三段“I do not want to be disturbed; nor, actually, do I want my phone to demand as much of my attention as my now toddler (学步儿童) or his new baby brother does. Sure, I’m not easily reachable, which upsets my partner, but I’m calmer not being always there for the world and those WhatsApp-mad moms.(我不想被打扰,事实上,我也不希望手机像我蹒跚学步的孩子和他刚出生的弟弟那样占据我太多注意力。当然,别人很难联系到我,这让我的伴侣有些不满,但不再时刻回应这个世界和那些沉迷WhatsApp的妈妈们,我反而更平静了。)”可知,作者提到不希望手机像孩子一样占据太多注意力,直接解释了她关闭通知的原因——将育儿需求置于手机之上。故选C。
11.细节理解题。根据文章第三段“That was three years ago. Since then, I’ve seldom turned notifications back on, except when waiting for important calls.(这是三年前的事了。从那以后,除了等重要电话,我很少再打开通知。)”可知,作者除必要情况外很少开启通知,维持着对通知的严格控制。故选A。
12.推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“I believe this change has made me a better and more caring mother.(我相信这个改变让我成为了更优秀、更贴心的母亲。)”以及全文内容可知,文章主要讲述了作者因深夜消息打扰而关闭手机通知的经历,详细描述了这一改变的过程、影响及个人感悟,由此可知,文章主要目的是“分享手机使用习惯的改变”。故选A。
Passage 4
(24-25高一下·浙江宁波慈溪·期末)
Last week, I visited my local bank to put a cheque into my account. While the procedure itself was relatively simple and user-friendly, I chose to double-check the details with the teller (出纳员) to ensure accuracy. The teller, apparently new to role, was unsure about the steps. He called his manager for assistance. The manager patiently explained everything to me, and I really appreciated what he did.
However, as the manager explained the steps, I couldn’t help but notice the teller’s lack of engagement. Instead of absorbing the guidance, he occupied himself with something else. What struck me most was the manager’s passive response to this behavior. Rather than encouraging the teller to focus on his instruction attentively, he simply completed the task himself and returned to his office.
On my way home, reflecting on the situation, I realized that the manager failed to use a preventive method. This might lead to the teller’s asking for help again in the future, causing the manager to repeatedly leave his desk to manage the same issues. This would definitely interrupt the manager’s routine work and waste his precious time, which could otherwise be better spent on his core duties. Obviously, if the root cause of the problem is not solved, such situation will happen more than once again, and it will potentially affect customer satisfaction.
This experience reveals a fundamental truth: It is a must to enable people to handle tasks independent of external assistance. We shouldn’t emphasize the significance of having a clear vision too much. It involves predicting future needs and making the right moves to solve them. Thus, we should begin with the end in mind, planning for long-term success. After all, sustainable success begins not with fixing today’s issues, but with preventing tomorrow’s.
13.Why did the teller turn to the manager for help?
A.He was busy with other affairs.
B.The procedure was too complex.
C.He had uncertainty as a new employee.
D.The matter was not in the charge of him.
14.What kind of help did the manager offer to the teller?
A.Absolute replacement. B.Passive response.
C.Professional guidance. D.Sincere encouragement.
15.What key strategy does the author recommend to solve such issues?
A.Making a further plan about regulation.
B.Emphasizing the importance of prevention.
C.Having a clear vision of personal development.
D.Cultivating independence through empowerment.
16.Which of the following proverbs best matches the main idea of the text?
A.Many hands make light work.
B.Nothing is difficult to the man who will try.
C.Hope for the best and prepare for the worst.
D.Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.

【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者在银行目睹经理未有效引导新出纳员,强调培养员工独立处理任务能力及预防问题的重要性。
13.细节理解题。根据第一段“The teller, apparently new to role, was unsure about the steps. He called his manager for assistance. (这位出纳员显然是新来的,对步骤不太确定。他打电话给经理寻求帮助)”可知,出纳员向经理求助,这是因为作为新员工,出纳员对工作不确定。故选C项。
14.细节理解题。根据第一段“The manager patiently explained everything to me, and I really appreciated what he did. (经理耐心地向我解释了一切,我真的很感激他所做的一切)”以及第二段“However, as the manager explained the steps, I couldn’t help but notice the teller’s lack of engagement. Instead of absorbing the guidance, he occupied himself with something else. What struck me most was the manager’s passive response to this behavior. Rather than encouraging the teller to focus on his instruction attentively, he simply completed the task himself and returned to his office.(然而,当经理解释这些步骤时,我忍不住注意到出纳员没有参与。他没有吸收指导,而是忙于其他事情。最让我印象深刻的是经理对这种行为的被动反应。他没有鼓励出纳员专心听讲,而是自己完成了任务,回到了办公室)”可知,经理帮助出纳员完成了出纳员本该做的工作,并且没有出纳员专心听讲,由此可知,经理提供的是绝对替代型的帮助。故选A项。
15.细节理解题。根据最后一段“This experience reveals a fundamental truth: It is a must to enable people to handle tasks independent of external assistance. (这段经历揭示了一个基本真理:必须让人们能够独立处理任务,而不依赖外部帮助)”可知,作者推荐解决此类问题的关键策略是通过授权培养独立性。故选D项。
16.主旨大意题。文章主要讲述了作者在银行办理业务时,遇到一位新出纳员对业务不熟悉,向经理求助,但经理只是自己完成了任务,没有真正帮助出纳员学会如何处理,作者由此意识到,应该让人们学会独立处理任务,而不是总是依赖外部帮助。谚语“授人以鱼不如授人以渔”与文章的意思相符,即教给人技能比直接给予帮助更有价值。故选D项。
Passage 5
(23-24高一下·浙江台州·期末)
Growing up in rural (农村的) communities, I always had a love of the countryside, animals and nature. The books I read as a child often had animals at their heart — The Owl Who was Afraid of the Dark, Charlotte’s Web.
Farming, however, was something I experienced later in life, in my teenage years. It’s something I instantly connected with, and I feel fortunate that my children have been able to grow up helping out on the farm and spending lots of time with our livestock and pets.
It’s so important to get a connection with farming at an early stage. We all eat food, so being familiar with where it comes from and what goes into producing it is a natural thing. If a spark of interest can be ignited early, it can only be a good thing going forward. It’s a joy to see the children’s faces light up on school visits when they see the photos of animals on our family farm and watch the video of an egg hatching (孵化). Animals have a unique magic all of their own.
Being around animals also teaches children what they can take with them into adulthood. It builds foundations of responsibility, kindness, as well as perseverance and problem solving. We work together as a family a lot on the farm, which builds a strong work ethic and a sense of teamwork — both fantastic life skills.
I’m a firm believer that you don’t know what you’re going to love until you try it. My hope is that if children from non-rural backgrounds get a taste of what it’s like on a farm, then they might discover something they love.
17.How does the author lead into the topic?
A.By showing his desire to keep animals.
B.By recommending his childhood reads.
C.By sharing his own experience with nature.
D.By comparing his farm life with his children’s.
18.What does the underlined word “ignited” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A.Awakened. B.Expressed. C.Weakened. D.Kept.
19.What role does an early contact with farming play in children’s growth?
A.A time killer. B.A character builder.
C.A social connector. D.An emotional comforter.
20.Which statement does the author probably agree with?
A.Well begun is half done. B.What pains us shapes us.
C.Actions speak louder than words. D.Interest starts with practice.

【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章主要通过讲述个人的经历,论述了在人生的早期阶段,在农村长大给成长带来的好处。
17.推理判断题。根据首段“Growing up in rural (农村的) communities, I always had a love of the countryside, animals and nature. The books I read as a child often had animals at their heart—The Owl Who was Afraid of the Dark, Charlotte’s Web.(在农村社区长大,我一直热爱乡村、动物和大自然。我小时候读的书里经常有动物的身影——《怕黑的猫头鹰》、《夏洛的网》。)”可知,该段介绍了作者在农村成长的经历带来的影响,由此可知,本文是通过介绍个人经历引入话题的。故选C项。
18.词句猜测题。根据划线单词后的“It’s a joy to see the children’s faces light up on school visits when they see the photos of animals on our family farm and watch the video of an egg hatching (孵化). Animals have a unique magic all of their own.(当孩子们参观学校时,看到我们家庭农场里动物的照片和鸡蛋孵化的视频,他们的脸上都露出了喜悦的表情。)”可知,孩子们看到农场里的动物的照片和鸡蛋孵化的视频时,他们都会感到开心,结合划线单词所在的句子“If a spark of interest can be…early, it can only be a good thing going forward.(如果兴趣的火花能够及早被……,那么它在将来只会是一件好事。)”可推知,兴趣的火花被尽早“点燃”,在将来会是一件好事,划线单词的意思应与A项“Awakened点燃”意义相近。故选A项。
19.细节理解题,根据倒数第二段中的“Being around animals also teaches children what they can take with them into adulthood. It builds foundations of responsibility, kindness, as well as perseverance and problem solving. We work together as a family a lot on the farm, which builds a strong work ethic and a sense of teamwork—both fantastic life skills.(它建立了责任、善良、毅力和解决问题的基础。我们一家人经常在农场一起工作,这建立了强烈的职业道德和团队意识——这两种都是很棒的生活技能。)”可知,早期与农场接触可以让孩子建立责任、善良、毅力和解决问题的基础,还可以形成强烈的职业道德和团队意识这样的生活技能,由此可知,早期与农场的接触可以培养儿童的性格和能力。故选B项。
20.推理判断题。根据尾段“I’m a firm believer that you don’t know what you’re going to love until you try it. My hope is that if children from non-rural backgrounds get a taste of what it’s like on a farm, then they might discover something they love.(我坚信你不知道你会爱上什么,除非你尝试过。我的希望是,如果来自非农村背景的孩子们能体验一下农场的生活,那么他们可能会发现自己喜欢的东西。)”可知,作者认为只有你尝试过才会爱上,同时,作者希望没有农村成长背景的孩子来体验一下农场生活会发现自己喜欢的东西,由此可知,作者赞成的观点是兴趣源于实践。故选D项。
Passage 6
(24-25高一下·浙江宁波宁波九校·期末)
I was fortunate to be raised in a traditional Karuk family — practicing dipnet fishing, renewal ceremonies, and cultural fire in harmony with nature’s cycles. When I was growing up, my dad would return from the fishery with a truck full of salmon (鲑鱼). We’d stay up late processing fish and hanging pieces in the smokehouse. As Karuk Va’araaras, we are salmon people, river people, and fix-the-world people. Our relationship with salmon is mutual; as long as we fish, the salmon will journey upriver to provide for us.
In 2000, the Klamath River turned bright green with harmful algae (海藻) as PacifiCorp sought a 50-year license renewal (许可证续期) for its hydroelectric dams. Built in the 20th century, the dams caused severe environmental harm. During the 2001 drought, native communities called for federal action to save the river. Initially, the Bureau of Reclamation limited water deliveries to protect endangered fish, but farmers, fearing crop failures due to water shortages, successfully pressured the Bush administration to change the decision.
In 2002, summer heat and low river flows led to a massive fish kill — 34,000 dead salmon lying on the Klamath’s banks. The smell still stays in our collective memory.
As the dams came up for Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) review, we made statements in hearings. Around a fire, we resolved to fight for dam removal, forming the Klamath Justice Coalition (KJC). Over 20 years, we protested at shareholders’ meetings, and gathered thousands under the slogan: “Undam the Klamath, Bring the Salmon Home!”
On November 17, 2022, FERC approved the removal of the dams. Watching the Klamath River flow freely for the first time in over a century is profound. Our Creator’s call to action in 2002 inspired a movement, empowering a new generation of protectors. As the river heals, so do we. Bring the salmon home indeed.
21.Which of the following best summarizes the relationship between the Karuk tribe and the Klamath River?
A.Food and identity source. B.Boundary between groups.
C.River health over tribe needs. D.Unconditional protection of ecosystems.
22.What immediate consequence followed the Bush administration’s policy change in 2001?
A.The disastrous fish kill in 2002.
B.PacifiCorp’s license renewal for dams.
C.The formation of the Klamath Justice Coalition.
D.The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission’s review.
23.Which action directly contributed to the final approval of dam removal?
A.KJC’s conservation policy. B.Farmers’ withdrawal of protests.
C.FERC’s review process. D.Karuk’s traditional ceremonies.
24.What can we learn from this story?
A.Many hands make light work. B.Slow and steady wins the race.
C.Constant dropping wears the stone. D.He who plants a tree plants hope.

【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了卡鲁克族人为保护河流与鲑鱼文化坚持不懈抗争并最终取得胜利的故事。
【详解】21.推理判断题。根据第一段中“When I was growing up, my dad would return from the fishery with a truck full of salmon (鲑鱼). We’d stay up late processing fish and hanging pieces in the smokehouse. As Karuk Va’araaras, we are salmon people, river people, and fix-the-world people. Our relationship with salmon is mutual; as long as we fish, the salmon will journey upriver to provide for us. (我小时候,爸爸会从渔场回来,卡车里装满了鲑鱼。我们会熬夜处理鱼,把鱼块挂在熏制房里。作为卡鲁克部落的Va’araaras人,我们是与鲑鱼共生的人、依河而居的人,也是守护世界的人。我们与鲑鱼之间是一种相互依存的关系:只要我们进行捕捞,鲑鱼就会逆流而上,为我们提供食物)”可知,卡鲁克部落与鲑鱼和河流有着共生关系,河流为他们提供食物,同时也是他们身份认同的重要来源。故选A。
22.细节理解题。根据第二段中“Initially, the Bureau of Reclamation limited water deliveries to protect endangered fish, but farmers, fearing crop failures due to water shortages, successfully pressured the Bush administration to change the decision. (起初,垦务局为保护濒危鱼类限制了供水,但农民们因担心缺水导致农作物歉收,成功迫使布什政府改变了这一决定)”以及第三段“In 2002, summer heat and low river flows led to a massive fish kill — 34,000 dead salmon lying on the Klamath’s banks. (2002年,夏季的高温和河流流量的减少导致了大规模的鱼类死亡——3.4万条死鲑鱼躺在克拉玛斯河的河岸上)”可知,2001年布什政府政策改变后,随即2002 年那场灾难性的鱼类死亡事件发生了。故选A。
23.细节理解题。根据第四段中“As the dams came up for Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) review, we made statements in hearings. (当这些水坝提交给联邦能源管理委员会(FERC)审查时,我们在听证会上发表了声明)”以及最后一段中“On November 17, 2022, FERC approved the removal of the dams. (2022年11月17日,联邦能源管理委员会(FERC)批准了拆除这些水坝的方案)”可知,FERC的审查过程直接促成了最终批准拆除大坝。故选C。
24.推理判断题。根据全文内容,卡鲁克部落等通过长期不懈的努力,最终促成了大坝的拆除和河流的恢复。这体现了“水滴石穿”的精神,即持之以恒的努力最终会取得成功。C选项“Constant dropping wears the stone. (水滴石穿)”符合故事传达的精神。故选C。

Passage 1
(24-25高一下·浙江衢州·期末)
Dozens of my middle school classmates walked around the statues in the National Museum of Anthropology in Mexico City while the staff tried to teach us about Mexico’s pre-Columbian heritage. Attracted by the statues, I got separated from the group, and for a few minutes, all I could hear was a respectful silence. Soon, a puzzling drum and flute filled the gallery’s emptiness, playing a piece of music I had never heard.
The rhythm (节奏) had me advancing toward it without realizing what I was doing. Suddenly I was outside the museum. The spell was cut off to search for a familiar face, and there it was: the face of my classmate Antonio. Also drawn by the music and curiosity, he had wandered outside as well. I arrived at his side just in time to watch the performance of “Los Voladores de Papantla” (the Papantla Flyers) — a ceremony born centuries ago to beg for rain during drought.
It includes five people climbing a very tall pole. One of the flyers remains atop the pole, playing a flute and drum, while the others, tied to ropes at the top of the pole, spin around the pole, slowly going down until they reach the ground. Each part of this ceremony is a symbol. The 4 flyers represent the 4 directions (North, South, East, and West) and the 4 earth elements (earth, water, air, and fire). They spin 13 times around the pole before landing, representing the 52 weeks of the year (13 times around the pole x 4 flyers=52).
Many years later, I was in Cholula, when I heard a flute and a drum inviting everyone in the city to see the ceremony. This time, I wasn’t looking for a familiar face under the spell of an unknown rhythm. My heart immediately recognized the sound, so I quickly took my husband’s hand and ran across the square, where the two of us found the best spot to watch the ceremony.
Sitting next to him, I was taken back to my youth, amazed by the flute, drum, and dancers flying above. This, along with the warm summer sun and Mexican candy on my face, made me feel like I was home. I was completely content.
1.Why was the writer outside the museum?
A.Because she got carried away by the music.
B.Because she hoped to see its architectural style.
C.Because she was annoyed with the noisy crowds.
D.Because she couldn’t find her classmate Antonio.
2.Why does the writer mention the numbers in paragraph 3?
A.To explain the symbolism of the dance.
B.To illustrate the history of the dance.
C.To stress the difficulty of the dance.
D.To relate the dance to ancient maths.
3.What does “the spell” refer to in paragraph 4?
A.The artistic depth. B.The simple structure.
C.The unique charm. D.The unusual strength.
4.Watching the dance again in Cholula, the writer felt a sense of ______.
A.curiosity B.belonging C.homesickness D.loneliness

【详解】1.细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The rhythm had me advancing toward it without realizing what I was doing. Suddenly I was outside the museum.(这节奏让我不知不觉地朝它走去。突然我就到了博物馆外面。)”可知,作者到博物馆外面是因为被音乐吸引。故选A项。
2.推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Each part of this ceremony is a symbol. The 4 flyers represent the 4 directions (North, South, East, and West) and the 4 earth elements (earth, water, air, and fire). They spin 13 times around the pole before landing, representing the 52 weeks of the year (13 times around the pole x 4 flyers=52). (这场仪式的每个部分都有象征意义。4名飘行者代表四个方向(北、南、东、西)和四种大地元素(土、水、空气与火)。他们在落地前绕杆旋转13圈,象征一年中的52周(绕杆 13 圈 ×4 名飘行者 = 52)。)”可推断,作者在第三段提到数字是为了解释舞蹈的象征意义。故选A项。
3.词句猜测题。根据第二段中的“The spell was cut off to search for a familiar face, and there it was: the face of my classmate Antonio. Also drawn by the music and curiosity, he had wandered outside as well. (为了寻找一张熟悉的面孔,咒语被打断了,然后我看到了:我的同学安东尼奥的脸。同样被音乐和好奇心吸引,他也在外面徘徊。)”可知,作者的同学被音乐和好奇心吸引在外面徘徊,结合第四段中的“My heart immediately recognized the sound, so I quickly took my husband’s hand and ran across the square, where the two of us found the best spot to watch the ceremony. (我的心立刻辨认出了那个声音,于是我迅速拉住丈夫的手,跑过广场。我们俩在那里找到了观看仪式的最佳位置。)”可知,作者此处不是辨认出那个声音,拉上丈夫的手找到了观看仪式的最佳位置,由此可知,“the spell”指的是“独特的魅力”符合语境。故选C项。
4.推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“This, along with the warm summer sun and Mexican candy on my face, made me feel like I was home. I was completely content. (这一切,加上温暖的夏日阳光和我脸上的墨西哥糖果,让我觉得自己在家一样。我非常满足。)”可推断,在Cholula再次观看舞蹈时,作者有一种归属感。故选B项。
Passage 2
(24-25高一下·浙江杭州上城区等5地·期末)
My backpack weighed 53 pounds, filled with dried food, water, and necessities for my first long-distance hike on Canada’s 180-kilometre Sunshine Coast Trail. The journey to the trailhead (登山口) was an adventure in itself — riding my motorcycle in the rain, taking buses, and finally a rubber boat to Sarah Point. As I set off, I felt a mix of excitement and fear. Backcountry trips weren’t new to me, but 15 days alone in the wilderness was a different beast.
I was fascinated with all the trail had to offer. Some parts were wide and flat, while others were narrow, steep, and even overgrown. Each night, I stayed in a different hut, living a unique life each day. At Bliss Portage Hut, I found peace on a hidden bench overlooking a forest. Sitting there, I realized how rare it is to have the forest completely to oneself.
Hiking develops a unique friendship. Along the way, I kept hearing about Pierre, a cheerful Frenchman with long, curly hair. When we finally met on Tin Hat Mountain, it felt like reuniting with an old friend. We laughed about how the trail had connected us before we even crossed paths. It struck me how such journeys remove pretences (做作), leaving only human connection.
Why do people hike? Is it for the views, the loneliness, or the challenge? For me, it was about independence and adventure, a chance to experience real life. The trail became a pilgrimage (朝圣之旅), reconnecting me with the world and myself. Each step reminded me of our smallness in the universe yet our great feelings.
Upon completion, I found my motorcycle, feeling a bittersweet mix of achievement and loss. Returning to city life felt dreamlike, as if the past 15 days had been a dream. The trail had changed me, teaching me to appreciate simpleness and freedom, lessons I’d carry long after the hike ended. Life on the trail was a reminder of what truly matters.
5.What did the author experience before getting to the trailhead?
A.He joined a package tour. B.He came across a wild beast.
C.He covered 180 kilometres. D.He used various means of transportation.
6.What was the trip like according to paragraph 2?
A.It was short of excitement. B.It was basically a desert hike.
C.It offered a variety of experiences. D.It brought a sense of loneliness.
7.What was the author’s friendship with Pierre based on?
A.Shared experience. B.Sincere care.
C.Similar backgrounds. D.Regular contacts.
8.What lesson might the author learn from the trip?
A.Simplicity and freedom are valuable.
B.Happiness is what truly matters.
C.Nothing can compare with city life.
D.Living a simple life is never possible.
【答案】5.D 6.C 7.A 8.A

【导语】这是一篇记叙文。作者讲述了在加拿大阳光海岸步道进行长途徒步旅行的经历,包括到达登山口的过程、沿途的体验、与他人的相遇,以及旅行结束后的心得体会。
5.细节理解题。根据第一段“The journey to the trailhead was an adventure in itself — riding my motorcycle in the rain, taking buses, and finally a rubber boat to Sarah Point. (前往登山口的旅程本身就是一场冒险——雨中骑摩托车、乘巴士,最后搭乘橡皮艇到达莎拉角。)”可知,作者为了到达登山口,经历了骑摩托车、坐公交车、乘坐橡皮艇等多种交通方式。故选D项。

7.推理判断题。根据第三段“When we finally met on Tin Hat Mountain, it felt like reuniting with an old friend. We laughed about how the trail had connected us before we even crossed paths. It struck me how such journeys remove pretences, leaving only human connection. (当我们最终在锡帽山相遇时,那种感觉就像与老友重逢。我们笑着谈论这条步道如何在我们相遇之前就已将彼此相连。我突然意识到,这样的旅程会卸下所有矫饰,只留下人与人之间的纯粹联结。)”可知,作者沿途不断听到关于Pierre的事,两人素未谋面却如老友重逢,他们对同一段旅程的共同参与让他们产生了联系,因此推断作者和Pierre的友谊建立在共同的徒步经历上。故选A项。
8.推理判断题。根据最后一段“The trail had changed me, teaching me to appreciate simpleness and freedom, lessons I’d carry long after the hike ended. (这条步道改变了我,教会我懂得珍惜简单与自由,而这些感悟在徒步结束后仍会长久地伴随我。)”可知,作者从这次旅行中领悟到了简单和自由的宝贵。故选A项。
Passage 3
(24-25高一下·浙江湖州·期末)
When 17-year-old Syrian refugee Hadi Al-Masri arrived in Berlin’s Tempelhof refugee (难民) shelter in 2018, he noticed two problems: the center’s poor WiFi left 300 students unable to do online schoolwork, and piles of abandoned smartphones filled donation bins. Then he had an idea that would change his community.
Using skills learned from repairing phones in war-torn Aleppo, Hadi began resurrecting broken devices. He turned a storage closet into a “tech clinic”, replacing cracked screens with plastic cut from water bottles and teaching himself Linux to revive motherboards. Within months, 40 repaired phones were circulating among students.
But his real innovation came when he discovered the shelter’s unused satellite dish. “It looked like a giant metal flower,” Hadi recalled. From YouTube, he learned to redirect the signal. Using cable from abandoned TVs and a router (路由器) made from three damaged units, he built “NetHope” — a network that boosted WiFi coverage to 95% of the community.
The system wasn’t pretty, but it worked. Refugee children could finally attend virtual classes uninterrupted. German teachers noticed improved grades, particularly among girls who previously had to choose between studying and waiting in food lines.
Hadi’s breakthrough went viral when a visiting journalist posted photos of his setup. Tech companies sent equipment, but Hadi insisted on teaching others first. His “Build Your Own Internet” workshops now train both refugees and elderly Germans in digital literacy (素养) . “The cables connect more than devices,” he said. “They connect people who think they’re different.”
Now studying computer engineering at TU Berlin, Hadi still volunteers at the shelter every weekend. His latest project? A solar-powered charging station built into an old supermarket trolley. When praised, he shrugs, “In Syria, we say necessity sharpens the mind. I just had good teachers — YouTube and desperation.”
9. What does the underlined word “resurrecting” mean in paragraph 2?
A.Throwing away. B.Selling for profits.
C.Repairing and reusing. D.Collecting for future use.
10.What was probably the MOST significant result of Hadi’s “NetHope” project?
A.It attracted tech companies to offer donations.
B.It made the refugee shelter famous on social media.
C.It aroused the community’s awareness of recycling and reusing.
D.Refugee children could attend online classes without interruption.
11.Why did Hadi insist on teaching others about the Internet first?
A.To follow the journalist’s advice.
B.To further improve his digital literacy.
C.To bridge the digital divide among people.
D.To show off his talent in computer engineering.
12.Which of the following best describes Hadi?
A.Talented but selfish. B.Brave and generous.
C.Knowledgeable but rude. D.Creative and warm-hearted.
【答案】9.C 10.D 11.C 12.D

【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了叙利亚难民哈迪·阿尔马斯里在柏林难民收容所,利用所学技能修复手机、搭建网络,还开展培训,如今仍坚持在收容所做志愿的故事。
9.词句猜测题。根据划线词后“He turned a storage closet into a ‘tech clinic’, replacing cracked screens with plastic cut from water bottles and teaching himself Linux to revive motherboards. (他把一个储藏室变成了一个‘技术诊所’,用从水瓶上剪下的塑料更换破裂的屏幕,并自学Linux系统来修复主板)”中“replacing cracked screens with plastic cut from water bottles”和“revive motherboards”可知,哈迪利做的是修复工作,所以“resurrecting broken devices”指的是修复损坏的设备。划线词“resurrecting”意思是修理并重新使用,与C项“Repairing and reusing”意思相近。故选C项。
10.细节理解题。根据第三段中“Using cable from abandoned TVs and a router (路由器) made from three damaged units, he built “NetHope” — a network that boosted WiFi coverage to 95% of the community.(他使用废弃电视的电缆和由三个损坏的单元制成的路由器,建立了“NetHope”网络,将WiFi覆盖率提高到95%)”和第四段中“The system wasn’t pretty, but it worked. Refugee children could finally attend virtual classes uninterrupted.(这个系统并不好看,但它有效。难民儿童终于可以不受干扰地上网课了)”可知,哈迪的“NetHope”项目最显著的结果是难民儿童可以不受干扰地上网课。故选D项。
11.推理判断题。根据第五段中“His ‘Build Your Own Internet’ workshops now train both refugees and elderly Germans in digital literacy (素养). ‘The cables connect more than devices,’ he said. ‘They connect people who think they’re different.’ (他的‘自己搭建网络’工作坊现在为难民和德国老年人提供数字素养培训。他说:‘电缆连接的不仅仅是设备,它们连接着那些认为彼此不同的人。’)”可推知,哈迪坚持先教别人使用网络是为了连接着那些认为彼此不同的人,是为了弥合人们之间的数字鸿沟。故选C项。
12.推理判断题。根据第二段中“Using skills learned from repairing phones in war torn Aleppo, Hadi began resurrecting broken devices. (利用在饱受战争蹂躏的阿勒颇学到的修理手机的技能,哈迪开始修复损坏的设备)”和第三段中“Using cable from abandoned TVs and a router (路由器) made from three damaged units, he built ‘NetHope’ — a network that boosted WiFi coverage to 95% of the community. (他用废弃电视的电缆和由三个损坏的路由器组成的一个路由器,搭建了‘NetHope’——一个将社区WiFi覆盖率提高到95%的网络)”可知,哈迪很有创造力;再根据第五段中“Tech companies sent equipment, but Hadi insisted on teaching others first. (科技公司送来了设备,但哈迪坚持先教别人)”和第六段中“Now studying computer engineering at TU Berlin, Hadi still volunteers at the shelter every weekend. (现在哈迪在柏林工业大学学习计算机工程,他仍然每个周末在收容所做志愿者)”可知,哈迪很热心。所以哈迪是有创造力且热心肠的。故选D项。
Passage 4
(24-25高一下·浙江宁波海曙区宁波荣安实验中学·期末)
George Gershwin, born in 1898, was one of America's greatest composers. He published his first song when he was eighteen years old. During the next twenty years he wrote more than five hundred songs.
Many of Gershwin's songs were first written for musical plays performed in theatres in New York City. These plays were a popular form of entertainment in the 1920s and 1930s. Many of his songs have remained popular as ever. Over the years they have been sung and played in every possible way — from jazz to country.
In the 1920s there was a debate in the United States about jazz music. Could jazz, some people asked, be considered serious music? In 1924 jazz musician and orchestra leader Paul Whiteman decided to organize a special concert to show that jazz was serious music. Gershwin agreed to compose something for the concert before he realized he had just a few weeks to do it. And in that short time, he composed a piece for piano and orchestra which he called Rhapsody in Blue. Gershwin himself played the piano at the concert. The audience were thrilled when they heard his music. It made him world-famous and showed that jazz music could be both serious and popular.
In 1928, Gershwin went to Paris. He applied to study composition with the well-known musician Nadia Boulanger, but she rejected him. She was afraid that classical study would ruin his jazz-influenced style. While there, Gershwin wrote An American in Paris. When it was first performed, critics(评论家) were divided over the music. Some called it happy and full of life, to others it was silly and boring. But it quickly became popular in Europe and the United States. It still remains one of his most famous works.
George Gershwin died in 1937, just days after doctors learned he had brain cancer. He was only thirty-nine years old. Newspapers all over the world reported his death on their front pages.
13.Many of Gershwin's musical works were ______.
A.written about New Yorkers B.composed for Paul Whiteman
C.played mainly in the countryside D.performed in various ways
14.What do we know about the concert organized by Whiteman?
A.It attracted more people to theatres B.It proved jazz could be serious music
C.It made Gershwin leader of the orchestra D.It caused a debate among jazz musicians
15.What did Gershwin do during his stay in Paris?
A.He created one of his best works B.He studied with Nadia Boulanger
C.He argued with French critics D.He changed his music style
16.Which of the following best describes Gershwin?
A.Talented and productive. B.Serious and boring.
C.Popular and unhappy. D.Friendly and honest.

Passage 5
(23-24高一下·浙江宁波九校·期末)
Before going abroad, I was very concerned about culture shock, but it turned out that I had a harder time dealing with reverse (逆向的) culture shock when returning home. Coming back has been a tougher transition than expected. It’s not just about transitioning back to home life; it’s also about handling the strange situation of being a different person in the same old environment. I am most terrified of waking up in a few months and feeling like I’m the same person I was before I studied abroad.
This situation is especially strange with people who have known me for a long time, like my parents, who witnessed all my major life changes before this one. I didn’t realize how much I’d changed until I interacted with them and close friends. Despite only being away for three and a half months, I quickly noticed the differences between who I was before and who I am now. Over the past few weeks at home, I’ve been wondering how to maintain the positive changes and qualities gained from my semester abroad.
I’ve realized that surroundings and situations greatly influence mindset, and keeping a certain mindset while losing its corresponding (相对应的) environment is challenging. For instance, being in Madrid taught me to be more relaxed and stress-free. However, returning to Penn State with its demanding course load makes maintaining that mentality (心态) difficult. I’ve come to realize the problem that perpetual stress about school isn’t healthy, especially after experiencing a semester of travel, fun, and academic success. Therefore, I’ve decided to work hard and study as usual but occasionally give myself a break, and do what I can to avoid getting over-stressed about tests and assignments. This means I will put in effort when necessary in order to make sure I am always caught up or ahead of class material.
Coming home has been more challenging than expected, but I’m confident I’ll get through it in the next few weeks. Nevertheless, I’m determined to maintain the important lessons I learned about myself and others in Madrid.
17.What was the author’s biggest concern when returning home?
A.Going back to his original self. B.Adapting to new surroundings.
C.Experiencing culture shock. D.Missing old acquaintances.
18.What did the author realize after returning home?
A.He should make his family familiar with his positive changes.
B.He should change his mentality to care less about his study.
C.He should adapt his mindset to fit into the old learning environment.
D.He should apply himself to his study to stay ahead of class.
19.What does the underlined word “perpetual” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A.Current. B.Improper. C.Unnecessary. D.Continuous.
20.What is the passage mainly about?
A.The sufferings of reverse culture shock. B.The reflections on personal growth.
C.The adaptations to new environments. D.The success in academic performance.
【答案】17.A 18.C 19.D 20.A

【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者最初担心出国时的文化冲击,但发现回国后的适应其实更困难。
【详解】17.细节理解题。根据第一段“Before going abroad, I was very concerned about culture shock, but it turned out that I had a harder time dealing with reverse (逆向的) culture shock when returning home. Coming back has been a tougher transition than expected. It’s not just about transitioning back to home life; it’s also about handling the strange situation of being a different person in the same old environment. I am most terrified of waking up in a few months and feeling like I’m the same person I was before I studied abroad.”(在出国之前,我非常担心文化冲击,但事实证明,当我回国时,我很难应对逆向文化冲击。回归后的过渡期比预期的要艰难。这不仅仅是回到家庭生活;这也是关于在相同的旧环境中处理不同的人的奇怪情况。我最害怕的是几个月后醒来,感觉自己还是出国留学前的那个我)可知,作者回国后最担心的是回到原来的自己。故选A项。
18.细节理解题。根据第二段中“Over the past few weeks at home, I’ve been wondering how to maintain the positive changes and qualities gained from my semester abroad.”(在过去的几周里,我一直在思考如何保持我在国外学期所获得的积极变化和品质)以及第三段中“I’ve realized that surroundings and situations greatly influence mindset, and keeping a certain mindset while losing its corresponding(相对应的)environment is challenging.”(我意识到环境和情形对心态有很大的影响,在失去相应环境的同时保持某种心态是很有挑战性的)可知,作者回国后意识到他应该调整自己的心态,以适应原来的学习环境。故选C项。
19.词句猜测题。根据划线单词句中“…especially after experiencing a semester of travel, fun, and academic success.”(尤其是在经历了一个学期的旅行、娱乐和学业成功之后)以及第三段中“Therefore, I’ve decided to work hard and study as usual but occasionally give myself a break, and do what I can to avoid getting over-stressed about tests and assignments. This means I will put in effort when necessary in order to make sure I am always caught up or ahead of class material.”(因此,我决定像往常一样努力学习,偶尔让自己休息一下,尽我所能避免考试和作业带来的过度压力。这意味着我会在必要的时候付出努力,以确保我总是赶上或领先于课堂材料)可知,此处为我开始意识到学校的持续的压力并不健康。故可猜测划线单词perpetual为“持续的”意思,与D项Continuous“持续不断的”意思一致。故选D项。
20.主旨大意题。根据全文内容以及第一段“Before going abroad, I was very concerned about culture shock, but it turned out that I had a harder time dealing with reverse (逆向的) culture shock when returning home. Coming back has been a tougher transition than expected. It’s not just about transitioning back to home life; it’s also about handling the strange situation of being a different person in the same old environment. I am most terrified of waking up in a few months and feeling like I’m the same person I was before I studied abroad.”(在出国之前,我非常担心文化冲击,但事实证明,当我回国时,我很难应对逆向文化冲击。回归后的过渡期比预期的要艰难。这不仅仅是回到家庭生活;这也是关于在相同的旧环境中处理不同的人的奇怪情况。我最害怕的是几个月后醒来,感觉自己还是出国留学前的那个我)和最后一段“Coming home has been more challenging than expected, but I’m confident I’ll get through it in the next few weeks. ”(回家的过程比想象中更有挑战性,但我有信心在接下来的几周内度过难关)可知,文章主要讲的作者最初担心出国时的文化冲击,但发现回国后的适应其实更困难。由此可知,文章主要讲述了逆向文化冲击带来的痛苦。故选A项。
