专题04 阅读理解 记叙文 主题01 人与社会——历史社会与文化 Passage 1 （24-25学年高一下 四川省阿坝藏族羌族自治州·期末） The Liberty Bell is an iconic symbol of American independence located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Put to use in 1752, it first cracked when rung after arriving in Philadelphia, and was twice recast by local workmen John Pass and John Stow, whose last names appeared on the bell. Although no immediate announcement was made of the Second Continental Congress’s vote for independence, bells were rung on July 8 to mark the reading of the Declaration of Independence, with the Liberty Bell believed to be among them. The bell was adopted as a symbol by the organizations supporting freedom, which named it the “Liberty Bell” in the 1830s. In the early 19th century, the Liberty Bell acquired its first large crack, which happened when it was rung after the death of Chief Justice John Marshall in 1835. Although the bell did not ring for independence on July 4, 1776, an 1847 short story claimed that it had, leading to its fame as a symbol of American freedom. From 1885, the City of Philadelphia allowed the bell to go to different events that celebrate the love for one’s country, leading to additional cracking and souvenir hunters chipping pieces away. The bell was later moved to the National Park Service’s custody (监管) after World War II. During the Cold War and the 1960s, the Liberty Bell became a popular site for protests, which was used as a symbol of freedom. So it was moved from its original home in Independence Hall to a nearby glass pavilion (亭) on Independence Mall in 1976 and then to the larger Liberty Bell Center in 2003. Over the years, the bell has appeared on coins, stamps, and in corporate logos. To learn more about the bell’s significance, visitors can take a virtual reality tour or visit the National Park Service’s official website. 1．What is this text mainly about? A．The Liberty Bell and John Marshall. B．The reasons why the Liberty Bell cracked. C．Protests near the Liberty Bell during the Cold War. D．The history and significance of the Liberty Bell. 2．When did the Liberty Bell have the first large crack? A．During the Cold War and the 1960s. B．When it arrived in Philadelphia in 1752. C．When it rang for independence on July 4, 1776. D．After the death of Chief Justice John Marshall. 3．Why was the Liberty Bell moved to a nearby glass pavilion on Independence Mall? A．It was used as a popular site for protests. B．It would be replaced with a new one. C．It should have been accessible to visitors. D．It was close to Independence Hall. 4．Where is this text most likely to be published? A．In a history book. B．In a tourism magazine. C．In a book about architecture. D．In a magazine about stamp collection. 【答案】1．D 2．D 3．A 4．B 【导语】这是一篇记叙文，本文主要介绍了美国自由钟的历史和意义。 1．主旨大意题。根据全文内容，结合第一段“The Liberty Bell is an iconic symbol of American independence located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Put to use in 1752, it first cracked when rung after arriving in Philadelphia, and was twice recast by local workmen John Pass and John Stow, whose last names appeared on the bell.(自由钟是位于宾夕法尼亚州费城的美国独立的标志性象征。1752年投入使用，到达费城后第一次敲响时破裂，由当地工人John Pass和John Stow两次重铸，他们的姓氏出现在钟上)”可知，文章主要介绍了自由钟的历史和意义，故选D。 2．细节理解题。根据第三段第一句“In the early 19th century, the Liberty Bell acquired its first large crack, which happened when it was rung after the death of Chief Justice John Marshall in 1835.(19世纪早期，1835年首席大法官John Marshall去世后，自由钟在敲响时出现了第一次大裂缝)”可知，自由钟在首席大法官John Marshall去世后被敲响时首次出现了巨大的裂缝，故选D。 3．细节理解题。根据第四段前两句“During the Cold War and the 1960s, the Liberty Bell became a popular site for protests, which was used as a symbol of freedom. So it was moved from its original home in Independence Hall to a nearby glass pavilion (亭) on Independence Mall in 1976 and then to the larger Liberty Bell Center in 2003.(在冷战和20世纪60年代，自由钟成为抗议活动的热门地点，被用作自由的象征。因此，1976年，它从独立大厅的原址搬到了独立广场附近的玻璃馆，2003年又搬到了更大的自由钟中心)”可知，自由钟成了一个受欢迎的抗议场所，因此自由钟被移到附近的玻璃亭中，故选A。 4．推理判断题。根据最后一段“To learn more about the bell’s significance, visitors can take a virtual reality tour or visit the National Park Service’s official website.(要了解更多关于钟的意义，游客可以参加虚拟现实之旅或访问国家公园管理局的官方网站)”可知，本文最有可能出现在旅游杂志中，故选B。 Passage 2 （24-25学年高一下 四川省宜宾·期末） When sorting through some boxes of her late mother, Mary Cooper, 81, discovered a library book 99 years past the deadline for its return. When Cooper opened the book “Home-Made Toys for Girls and Boys” by A．Neely Hall, she realized it was checked out by her grandfather, Charles Tilton, a boatwright and carpenter, in March 1926 from the Ocean County Library system in New Jersey — the year before Tilton died. The book, published in 1911, is a manual (手册) of illustrated instructions for simple toys made from wood, metal and household items. “He had a little girl, my mom. I figured he would want to build her some toys,” Cooper said. While Cooper doesn’t have any personal memories with her grandfather because he died before she was born, her mother often shared stories about Tilton. She remembers her mother saying he built her toy wooden. sailboats, which, Cooper later donated to the Bay Head Historical Society in New Jersey. When Cooper found the book, she knew it was time to return it. “I thought, I don’t have grandchildren, and my kids are getting older. Even if my children took it, I didn’t know what they’d do with it,” she said. “I figured it belongs to the library.” Walking into the Toms River branch of the Ocean County Library, Cooper did not know what to expect but hoped the library would want the book back. She never imagined the excitement it would cause, especially in light of the library system’s 100th anniversary approaching in September. Cooper was also worried the library would charge her a late fee, which staff joked would have added up to $18,000 if they still charged fines. “What an unexpected thing to happen during our 100th year when this book got returned,” Sherri Taliercio, the Ocean County Library’s spokesperson, added.“It’s finally in its home for years to come.” 1．Who borrowed the book from the library? A．Mary Cooper. B．A．Neely Hall. C．Charles Tilton. D．Sherri Taliercio. 2．What can we infer from the text about Charles Tilton? A．He enjoyed reading. B．He was a caring father. C．He was interested in old books. D．He often forgot to return books. 3．How did the library staff feel when the book was returned to the library? A．Approving and admirable. B．Curious and enthusiastic. C．Surprised and excited. D．Moved and grateful. 4．Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A．Father-made Toys for Girls and Boys B．A Century-Old Library Book Returns Home C．The Story of Mary Cooper and Her Grandfather D．The Ocean County Library Celebrates 100th Anniversary 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．C 4．B 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Mary Cooper在整理母亲遗物时发现祖父百年前未还的书并归还图书馆的感人故事。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段“When Cooper opened the book ‘Home-Made Toys for Girls and Boys’ by A. Neely Hall, she realized it was checked out by her grandfather, Charles Tilton, a boatwright and carpenter, in March 1926 from the Ocean County Library system in New Jersey—the year before Tilton died. (当Cooper打开A. Neely Hall的《Home-Made Toys for Girls and Boys》一书时，她意识到这本书是由她的祖父Charles Tilton——一名造船匠兼木匠——于1926年3月从新泽西州的大洋县图书馆系统借出的，而那正是Tilton去世的前一年)”可知，借书人是Charles Tilton。故选C项。 2．推理判断题。根据第四段““He had a little girl, my mom. I figured he would want to build her some toys,” Cooper said. While Cooper doesn’t have any personal memories with her grandfather because he died before she was born, her mother often shared stories about Tilton. She remembers her mother saying he built her toy wooden. sailboats, which, Cooper later donated to the Bay Head Historical Society in New Jersey. (“他有个小女儿，就是我妈妈。我猜想他是想给她做些玩具，”Cooper说。由于祖父在她出生前就去世了，Cooper对祖父没有任何亲身记忆，但母亲经常讲起关于Tilton的故事。她记得母亲说过，祖父为母亲做过木制玩具帆船，后来Cooper把这些帆船捐赠给了新泽西州的贝黑德历史学会)”可知，Tilton为女儿制作玩具，体现出他是一位关心孩子的父亲。故选B项。 3．推理判断题。根据第六段中“She never imagined the excitement it would cause, especially in light of the library system’s 100th anniversary approaching in September. (她从未想象过它会带来的兴奋，尤其是在9月图书馆系统成立100周年之际)”及第七段中““What an unexpected thing to happen during our 100th year when this book got returned,” Sherri Taliercio, the Ocean County Library’s spokesperson, added.“It’s finally in its home for years to come.” (“在我们（图书馆）百年华诞之际，这本书竟然被还了回来，真是件意想不到的事，” 大洋县图书馆的发言人Sherri Taliercio补充道，“它终于回到了自己的家，未来也将一直在这里。”)”可推知，图书馆工作人员对这本书的归还感到惊讶且兴奋。故选C项。 4．主旨大意题。通读全文可知，全文围绕“一本逾期99年的图书馆书籍被归还”展开，讲述了书籍的借出背景、归还过程及图书馆的反应，核心是“百年旧书回归图书馆”。所以B选项“A Century-Old Library Book Returns Home(一本百年图书馆书籍回归家园)”最能概括主旨，是文章的最佳标题。故选B项。 Passage 3 （24-25学年高一下 四川省南充·期末） Peking Opera has been a game changer for Swedish actor Timothy Pilotti, which led him to China and shaped his passion for cultural exchanges. The connection between the 37-year-old actor and Peking Opera began with a childhood love for films starring Jackie Chan, who studied Peking Opera when he was young. Pilotti decided to become an actor at an early age, studying at acting schools and majoring in physical theater at a Finnish university. The university required students to study a traditional theater from abroad on an exchange program during the third year, which became his first opportunity to study Peking Opera in China. “Some of my classmates went to India, for example, but my dream was to go to China — it was a no-brainer,” he says. In 2009, he and two other students arrived at the National Academy of Chinese Theatre Arts in Beijing to study Peking Opera for six months. Although he had no Chinese language skills or background in Peking Opera, teachers from the academy helped him grasp the essence (精髓) of the performing art form through strict teaching and setting high standards. In 2010 and 2014, he returned to the National Academy of Chinese Theatre Arts to continue studying Peking Opera, which he later combined with his original productions in Sweden. Traditional Chinese stories inspire him. He has created two theater pieces in recent years—Jingwei, a mythological(神话的) character who drowns and turns into a bird, determined to fill the sea; and a story about The Monkey King, the all-powerful character from the novel Journey to the West. In The Monkey King, Pilotti represents the character’s lively and naughty characteristics through Peking Opera movements, inspiring his young audience members to be themselves. The show of The Monkey King has been really successful. “My dream now is to do more cultural exchanges and maybe create a show where Chinese Peking Opera and Swedish actors perform together,” he says. 1．What led Pilotti to get interested in Peking Opera? A．His love for Jackie Chan’s films. B．His passion for traditional Chinese stories. C．His dream of becoming an actor. D．His university’s requirement for students. 2．What does the underlined phrase “a no-brainer” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A．A difficult decision. B．An obvious choice. C．A risky opinion. D．A last-minute plan. 3．How did Pilotti combine Peking Opera with his work in Sweden? A．By translating Chinese operas into Swedish. B．By teaching Peking Opera to Swedish students. C．By performing only traditional Chinese stories. D．By adding Peking Opera movements to his theater pieces. 4．What is Pilotti’s attitude towards cultural exchanges between China and Sweden? A．Indifferent. B．Positive. C．Doubtful. D．Neutral. 【答案】1．A 2．B 3．D 4．B 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述瑞典演员Timothy Pilotti与京剧的缘分及他对中瑞文化交流的热爱。 【详解】65．细节理解题。根据第一段中的“The connection between the 37-year-old actor and Peking Opera began with a childhood love for films starring Jackie Chan, who studied Peking Opera when he was young.(这位37岁的演员与京剧的联系始于童年时对成龙主演电影的热爱，成龙年轻时曾学习京剧。)”可知，Pilotti对京剧产生兴趣是因为他喜欢成龙的电影。故选A项。 1．词句猜测题。根据第二段中的“The university required students to study a traditional theater from abroad on an exchange program during the third year, which became his first opportunity to study Peking Opera in China.(这所大学要求学生在大三的交换项目中学习一种国外的传统戏剧，而这成了他第一个在中国学习京剧的机会。)”可知，这是他第一个在中国学习京剧的机会，结合划线部分所在的句子“Some of my classmates went to India, for example, but my dream was to go to China — it was a no-brainer,” he says.(他说：“例如，我的一些同学去了印度，但我的梦想是去中国——这是……。”)”可知，因为去中国是他的梦想，所以这个选择对他来说很明显，所以“a no-brainer” 意为 “一个明显的选择”与“An obvious choice”意思相近。故选B项。 2．细节理解题。根据第四段中的“In The Monkey King, Pilotti represents the character’s lively and naughty characteristics through Peking Opera movements, inspiring his young audience members to be themselves.(在《美猴王》中，Pilotti通过京剧动作展现了角色活泼调皮的特点，鼓励年轻观众做自己。)”可知，Pilotti通过在他的戏剧作品中加入京剧动作，将京剧与他在瑞典的工作相结合。故选D项。 3．推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“My dream now is to do more cultural exchanges and maybe create a show where Chinese Peking Opera and Swedish actors perform together,” he says.(他说：“我现在的梦想是进行更多的文化交流，或许可以创作一个中国京剧和瑞典演员共同表演的节目。”)”可知，Pilotti对中瑞文化交流持积极态度。故选B项。 主题02：人与社会——文学艺术与体育 Passage 1 （24-25学年高一下 四川省广安市·期末） I wasn’t the most popular student in my first year of high school - not at all. In fact, I felt awkward. I didn’t care about fashion, liked reading more than sports, and had trouble talking to boys. Because of this, my first year of high school was hard. I had no close friends. I usually stayed alone and read books a lot. That’s why I was so surprised when Ashley and I became friends the summer before my second year. Ashley was very different from me. She was outgoing and loved fashion. She listened to bands I never heard of and was good at art. She was popular, and I remembered she had always been like that. These were things I knew nothing about. We had been in the same class before, but we never talked much. I was always nervous around her. During summer school, we took classes to graduate early. The teacher paired us for a project. At first, Ashley seemed unwilling to work with me. But I think she agreed because none of her cool friends were in the class. We met at the library for the project and hit it off quickly. Ashley did most of the talking. We sat together for the rest of the summer, and after classes ended, we kept hanging out. We went shopping, listened to music, watched movies, and went to the beach. It was everything a great summer with a new friend should be. 1．What is the text mainly about? A．The author’s lonely first year of high school. B．How Ashley changed the author’s life. C．How the author and Ashley became friends. D．The importance of summer school. 2．Why was Ashley willing to work with the author eventually? A．She thought the author was a big reader. B．Her popular friends weren’t in the class. C．She has no close friends. D．She loved fashion. 3．What can we learn about the author and Ashley before summer school? A．They often argued with each other. B．They were classmates but seldom talked. C．Ashley admired the author. D．They were close competitors. 4．What does the phrase “hit it off” in paragraph 3 mean? A．Argued a lot. B．Worked efficiently. C．Got along well immediately. D．Found many differences. 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．B 4．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者在高中第一年并不受欢迎，感到尴尬且没有亲密朋友，但在第二年前的夏天与性格迥异的Ashley成为朋友，两人一起上课、完成项目，并在暑假期间一起度过了许多美好时光的故事。 1．主旨大意题。根据文章内容可知，文章开篇介绍作者高一时的孤独处境（不受欢迎、没朋友），随后引出与 Ashley 的友谊让她意外；接着对比两人的不同之处，以及过去几乎不交流的状态；最后重点讲述暑假补习时，因老师分配合作项目，两人逐渐熟悉并成为朋友，还描述了一起相处的经历。全文核心是围绕“作者和 Ashley 如何从陌生到成为朋友”展开，清晰呈现了友谊建立的过程。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据文章第三段“The teacher paired us for a project. At first, Ashley seemed unwilling to work with me. But I think she agreed because none of her cool friends were in the class.()”可知，作者推测Ashley最终愿意和自己合作，是因为Ashley那些酷酷的朋友都不在这个暑假补习班的班级里。故选B。 3．推理判断题。根据文章第二段“We had been in the same class before, but we never talked much. I was always nervous around her.(我们以前在同一个班，但很少说话。我在她身边时总是很紧张。)”可知，在暑假补习之前，作者和Ashley曾是同班同学，但很少交流，作者在Ashley身边还总是很紧张。故选B。 4．词义猜测题。根据划线短语所在语境“At first, Ashley seemed unwilling to work with me. But I think she agreed because none of her cool friends were in the class. We met at the library for the project and hit it off quickly. Ashley did most of the talking. We sat together for the rest of the summer, and after classes ended, we kept hanging out. We went shopping, listened to music, watched movies, and went to the beach. It was everything a great summer with a new friend should be.(一开始，Ashley似乎不太愿意和我合作。但我觉得，她之所以同意，是因为她那些酷酷的朋友都不在这个班里。我们在图书馆为了项目碰面，很快就……。大部分时间都是Ashley在说话。那个夏天剩下的日子里，我们一直坐在一起；课程结束后，我们也还继续一起玩。我们一起去购物、听音乐、看电影、去海滩。那完全就是和新朋友共度美好夏天该有的样子。)”可知，作者和Ashley因暑假补习的项目被分到一组，起初Ashley似乎不愿合作，但两人在图书馆碰面后，两人关系发生了变化。而且后来两个人一起度过了整个夏天。由此可知，两人见面后很快就相处融洽，关系迅速拉近。“hit it off”在此处意为“一见如故，很快相处融洽”，与C选项“Got along well immediately.(立即相处得很好)”含义一致。故选C。 Passage 2 （24-25学年高一下 四川省绵阳市·期末） When 14-year-old Clara opened the dusty box in her grandmother’s room, a cracked violin lay inside. Two strings were missing, and the wood had faded, but it still looked elegant. Though her parents often said, “Focus on math and science, not daydreams,” she felt a connection to the instrument. Each night after homework, she secretly cleaned it with a piece of cloth. At school, Clara borrowed library books on violin repair. She learned to replace strings using spare parts from broken guitars. When she needed better tools, she offered to do the cleaning at Mr. Thompson’s music shop every Tuesday. Finally, the violin came back to life. The kind owner taught her how to maintain the violin and how to play it. For months, her fingertips hardened from pressing the strings. Her progress was slow but continuous. Still, she didn’t tell her parents about her secret practice. The turning point came on a rainy April evening. Hearing a beautiful folk tune coming out of her room repeatedly, her mother stopped outside her door. “Why not join the community concert?” she suggested hesitantly. Clara’s heart raced — she got support. On the performance day, her father joked backstage, “Play loud enough for Grandma to hear,” hiding his nerves. Clara’s performance of Amazing Grace began shakily, but as memories of her restoration efforts and Mr. Thompson’s patience surfaced, she became more confident and played the tune more skillfully. Midway, she noticed her grandmother wiping tears, and her parents holding hands. The applause sounded like summer thunder. Now, the repaired violin has above Clara’s desk. Her parents still remind her to study, but they also save concert notices from newspapers. “Maybe music and math aren’t so different.” her father joked recently. “Both need practice and heart.” 1．Why did Clara hide her violin practice at first? A．She feared damaging the instrument. B．She lacked proper training resources. C．Her parents valued study over music. D．Her grandmother disliked loud sounds. 2．When did Clara’s family begin to change their attitude? A．After she replaced the strings. B．After her dad joked backstage. C．After her mom heard her practice. D．After she performed in the concert. 3．What did the audience think of Clara’s performance? A．Shaky. B．Impressive. C．Sad. D．Imaginative. 4．What does the story mainly tell us? A．Music wins. B．Talent wins. C．Memory lasts. D．Effort counts. 【答案】1．C 2．C 3．B 4．D 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。14岁的克拉拉修复祖母的旧小提琴，偷偷学习演奏，在社区音乐会成功表演，赢得父母认可，小提琴成为她书桌上方的纪念。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段“Though her parents often said, “Focus on math and science, not daydreams,” she felt a connection to the instrument. Each night after homework, she secretly cleaned it with a piece of cloth.(尽管她的父母常说：“专注于数学和科学，别做白日梦。”但她却对这把乐器产生了情感上的联系。每天做完作业后，她都会偷偷地用一块布擦拭它)”可知，克拉拉起初隐瞒自己练习小提琴的事是因为她的父母更重视学业而非音乐。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据第三段“Hearing a beautiful folk tune coming out of her room repeatedly, her mother stopped outside her door. “Why not join the community concert?” she suggested hesitantly. Clara’s heart raced — she got support. On the performance day, her father joked backstage, “Play loud enough for Grandma to hear,” hiding his nerves.(听到从她房间传出来的优美民谣声，她的母亲站在门外停了下来。“为什么不参加社区音乐会呢？”她犹豫地提议道。克拉拉的心狂跳起来——她得到了支持。在演出那天，她父亲在后台开玩笑说：“声音大一点，好让奶奶能听见。”他掩饰着自己的紧张情绪)”可知，在妈妈听到她练习之后克拉拉的家人开始改变态度。故选C。 3．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“The applause sounded like summer thunder.(那阵掌声听起来就像夏日的雷鸣声)”可知，观众认为克拉拉的表演非常出色。故选B。 4．推理判断题。根据第二段“At school, Clara borrowed library books on violin repair. She learned to replace strings using spare parts from broken guitars. When she needed better tools, she offered to do the cleaning at Mr. Thompson’s music shop every Tuesday. Finally, the violin came back to life. The kind owner taught her how to maintain the violin and how to play it. For months, her fingertips hardened from pressing the strings. Her progress was slow but continuous.(在学校，克拉拉借了图书馆关于小提琴修理的书。她学会了用坏吉他的零件更换琴弦。当她需要更好的工具时，她主动提出每周二去汤普森先生的音乐商店打扫卫生。最后，小提琴复活了。好心的主人教她如何保养小提琴，如何演奏。几个月来，她的指尖因按琴弦而变硬了。她的进步缓慢而持续)”以及最后一段““Maybe music and math aren’t so different.” her father joked recently. “Both need practice and heart.”(“也许音乐和数学并没有太大的不同。她父亲最近开玩笑说。“两者都需要练习和用心。”)”可知，这个故事主要告诉我们努力才有回报。故选D。 Passage 3 （24-25学年高一下 四川省成都市树德中学·期末） It was the final race of the season, the 800 meters, and my legs felt like lead. The hot sun beat down on the track, and the roar of the crowd seemed distant. I had trained hard all summer, but now, facing my toughest competitor, Sarah Chen, doubt crept in. She always seemed to have an extra burst of speed at the end. The starting gun fired. We surged forward, a pack of brightly colored jerseys. The first lap felt surprisingly smooth, but as we rounded the curve into the second lap, the familiar burn started in my lungs. Sarah pulled slightly ahead. “Just keep her in sight,” I told myself, remembering Coach’s words: “Run your own race.” With 200 meters to go, the gap between Sarah and me widened. My legs screamed to slow down, and negative thoughts flooded my mind: “You can’t catch her. Second place is okay.” I glanced at the stands and saw my teammates waving wildly, their faces full of encouragement. Then, Coach’s voice cut through the noise: “Kick NOW, Mia! Everything you’ve got!” Something clicked. It wasn’t just about winning against Sarah anymore; it was about pushing myself to my absolute limit, about honoring all those hours of practice. I dug deep, deeper than I ever had before. My arms pumped harder, my stride lengthened, and I focused solely on the finish line ribbon. The pain was intense, but it was pushed aside by sheer determination. The last few meters were a blur. I threw myself forward. As I crossed the line, breathless and wobbly, I had no idea who had won. Then I heard the announcement: “First place ... Mia Johnson!” A wave of disbelief and pure joy washed over me. Sarah finished a split-second later, offering a tired but genuine smile and a handshake. “Great kick,” she said, breathing heavily. That moment of mutual respect meant almost as much as the medal. That race taught me more than just how to run faster. It taught me that your biggest competitor is often yourself — the voice that says you can’t. And that finding the strength to silence that voice, even for just the final stretch, can lead to achievements you never thought possible. 1．How did Mia feel at the beginning of the race? A．Confident and energetic. B．Focused solely on beating Sarah. C．Excited by the crowd’s noise. D．Doubtful and physically heavy. 2．When the coach shouts “Kick NOW, Mia”, the word “kick” most probably means ________. A．to ignore pain and continue moving B．to strike the ground with one’s foot C．to suddenly increase running speed D．to focus on proper running form 3．What is the symbolic meaning of Sarah offering Mia a handshake after the race? A．It reflects the universal sportsmanship spirit. B．It helps to cover Sarah’s disappointment in losing the race. C．It highlights Mia’s physical superiority. D．It indicates Sarah’s pity for Mia’s effort. 4．What does Mia realize is the most important thing she learned from the race? A．Winning against a strong competitor is the ultimate goal. B．Following Coach’s instructions is crucial for success. C．Her biggest challenge is overcoming her own self-doubt. D．Physical pain is temporary, but medals last forever. 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．A 4．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了赛季最后800米赛跑，米娅面对劲敌萨拉，一度想放弃，在队友和教练鼓励下奋力冲刺夺冠。萨拉表示敬佩，这场比赛让米娅明白最大的对手是自己，坚持能带来意外成就。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段“It was the final race of the season, the 800 meters, and my legs felt like lead. The hot sun beat down on the track, and the roar of the crowd seemed distant. I had trained hard all summer, but now, facing my toughest competitor, Sarah Chen, doubt crept in.(这是本赛季的最后一场比赛，是800米赛跑，我的双腿沉重得像铅块一样。炽热的阳光直射在跑道上，观众的欢呼声听起来很遥远。整个夏天我都在刻苦训练，但现在面对我最强劲的对手萨拉·陈，心中的疑虑悄然涌起)”可知，米娅在比赛开始时感到怀疑且身体沉重。故选D。 2．细节理解题。根据第一段“She always seemed to have an extra burst of speed at the end.(她似乎总能在最后时刻爆发出额外的速度)”以及第三段“With 200 meters to go, the gap between Sarah and me widened. My legs screamed to slow down, and negative thoughts flooded my mind: “You can’t catch her. Second place is okay.” I glanced at the stands and saw my teammates waving wildly, their faces full of encouragement. Then, Coach’s voice cut through the noise: “Kick NOW, Mia! Everything you’ve got!”(还剩200米的时候，我和萨拉之间的差距越来越大。我的双腿拼命地想要减速，负面的想法涌上心头：“你追不上她的。第二名也就可以了。”我瞥了一眼看台，看到队友们疯狂地挥舞着手臂，脸上满是鼓励的神情。接着，教练的声音穿透了嘈杂声：“现在Kick，米娅！你全力以赴！”)”可知，教练喊全力以赴，应该是让米娅“跑起来”，“Kick”这个词很可能指的是突然加快奔跑速度的意思。故选C。 3．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Sarah finished a split-second later, offering a tired but genuine smile and a handshake. “Great kick,” she said, breathing heavily. That moment of mutual respect meant almost as much as the medal.(萨拉在几秒钟后也完成了比赛，她露出疲惫但真诚的微笑，并与我握手。“很棒的冲刺！”她气喘吁吁地说。那一刻的相互尊重几乎和奖牌一样重要)”可知，在比赛结束后，萨拉与米娅握手这一举动体现了普遍的体育精神。故选A。 4．细节理解题。根据最后一段“That race taught me more than just how to run faster. It taught me that your biggest competitor is often yourself — the voice that says you can’t. And that finding the strength to silence that voice, even for just the final stretch, can lead to achievements you never thought possible.(那场比赛不仅教会了我如何跑得更快，还让我明白，最大的竞争对手往往是自己——那个认为自己做不到的声音。而且，找到力量去压制住这个声音，哪怕只是在最后的冲刺阶段，也能带来你从未想过能够实现的成就)”可知，米娅意识到从这次比赛中她学到的最重要的事情是她面临的最大挑战是克服自己的自我怀疑。故选C。 主题 03 人与自我 —— 做人与做事 Passage 1 （24-25学年高一下 四川省达州市·期末） I once was a quick-tempered boy. If I mumbled (嘟哝), I got angry. When I got angry, I’d yell at anyone nearby, not caring who they were or what they were doing. Then they would make fun of me. Eventually, many people around me disliked me because of this. They started avoiding me. Even though I felt like I needed to improve myself, I didn’t know how. My father was patient with me and one day he gave me a basket full of nails (钉子) and a hammer (铁锤). Every time I got angry, he advised me to avoid scolding (责骂) the people involved and hammer a nail into the wooden fence behind the house until I calmed down. The first day, I hammered about 50 nails into the fence. As the days passed, I learned to control my hurtful speech in front of those who made me angry. Only when I got angry should I go and hammer the nails immediately! Eventually, before I could take the basket and hammer and go to the fence, my anger cooled and I started hammering nails into the fence less. In a few days, I no longer felt the need to hammer nails into the fence. I went to my father and told him the details. Although he was happy inside, he didn’t show it. He gave me a nail puller and asked me to pull out the nails I had hammered into the fence one by one. It took me a whole day to pull them all out. After pulling out all the nails, my father and I went to see the fence. My father showed me the scars where the nails had been pulled out from the fence and said, “When you get angry, you lose your mind and say things like this nail. Even if you apologize for speaking as if you were pulling out a nail, the wound left by those words is just as hard to heal as the scar from this nail.” I too understood the concept well, changed, grew up to respect my village, and achieved many successes in life. 1．What did the boy do when he got angry at the beginning? A．He behaved rudely to people around. B．He apologized to the people he had hurt. C．He avoided people who made him angry. D．He immediately hammered nails into the fence. 2．Why did the boy’s father give him nails and a hammer? A．To help him control his anger. B．To punish him for his bad behavior. C．To teach him how to repair the fence. D．To make him stronger by hammering nails. 3．How did the father react when the boy stopped hammering nails? A．He apologized to the boy. B．He showed his inner happiness. C．He asked the boy to remove the nails. D．He told the boy to repair the damaged fence. 4．Which best summarizes the main lesson of this story? A．Actions speak louder than words. B．Time heals all wounds. C．Practice makes perfect. D．What’s done cannot be undone. 【答案】1．A 2．A 3．C 4．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了一个脾气暴躁的男孩在父亲的引导下，学会控制愤怒并明白言语伤人难以弥补的道理，最终实现自我改变的故事。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段“When I got angry, I’d yell at anyone nearby, not caring who they were or what they were doing. (当我生气的时候，我会对附近的任何人大喊大叫，不管他们是谁，在做什么)”可知，男孩一开始生气时，会对周围的人举止粗鲁。故选A项。 2．细节理解题。根据第二段“Every time I got angry, he advised me to avoid scolding the people involved and hammer a nail into the wooden fence behind the house until I calmed down. (每次我生气的时候，他都建议我不要责骂相关的人，而是在房子后面的木栅栏上钉一颗钉子，直到我平静下来)”可知，父亲给男孩钉子和锤子是为了帮助他控制愤怒。故选A项。 3．细节理解题。根据第三段“In a few days, I no longer felt the need to hammer nails into the fence. I went to my father and told him the details. Although he was happy inside, he didn’t show it. He gave me a nail puller and asked me to pull out the nails I had hammered into the fence one by one. (几天之内，我再也不觉得有必要往栅栏上钉钉子了。我去找父亲，把这些情况一五一十地告诉了他。尽管他心里很高兴，却没有表现出来。他给了我一个拔钉器，让我把钉在栅栏上的钉子一个一个拔出来)”可知，当男孩不再钉钉子时，父亲让他把钉子拔掉。故选C项。 4．主旨大意题。根据第三段父亲的话“When you get angry, you lose your mind and say things like this nail. Even if you apologize for speaking as if you were pulling out a nail, the wound left by those words is just as hard to heal as the scar from this nail. (当你生气的时候，你会失去理智，说出这样的话就像这颗钉子一样。即使你为自己说的话道歉，就像拔出钉子一样，但那些话留下的伤口就像这颗钉子留下的疤痕一样难以愈合)”可知，故事的主要教训是做过的事无法挽回。故选D项。 Passage 2 （24-25学年高一下 四川省仁寿县校联考·期末） Aeron McQuillin, 18, Bailey Campbell, 17, and Billy Tarbett, 15, were on their way to a supermarket in Fonthill, Ontario, when they spotted a woman on the side of the road with smoke coming out of her car. They quickly found the problem and determined the car was too dangerous to drive. The driver couldn’t afford a tow truck (拖车). So, Billy suggested that they push the car. The woman lives more than five miles away. Dan Morrison, who also stopped to help, told CNN the driver’s jaw dropped on hearing the teens’ offer. Bailey told CNN they just wouldn’t want to be stuck like that, so they insisted. The three bought bottles of water and a speaker so they could “jam out” and started their journey. Morrison drove behind them with his hazard lights (双闪灯) on for safety. Baily said they faced several problems. The first was a big hill 300 yards from the start. Halfway through, they took a break and the battery died. They had to charge it just to get back into neutral (空挡位置). After more than two and a half hours of pushing, they finally delivered the car back home. Bailey described the motorist as both thankful and amazed. They exchanged hugs, and everyone went home for some much-needed rest. The teens never got the woman’s full name. Morrison took a couple of pictures of the teens, hoping to turn them into hometown heroes on social media. His Facebook post went viral, with positive comments coming in from as far away as Australia. 1．What did the three teens do on their way to the supermarket? A．They saved an injured driver. B．They helped repair a damaged car. C．They witnessed a car crash accident. D．They pushed a car to its owner’s home. 2．How might the female driver have felt about the teens’ offer? A．Surprised. B．Annoyed. C．Frightened. D．Embarrassed. 3．How did Morrison assist the teens? A．He bought them water. B．He let them drive his own car. C．He provided them with a speaker. D．He warned drivers behind to keep their distance. 4．How can we describe the teens? A．Emotional. B．Demanding. C．Caring. D．Honest. 【答案】1．D 2．A 3．D 4．C 【分析】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了几个青少年在路上帮一位车坏了的女士将车拖回到她的家的善意行为。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段“The driver couldn’t afford a tow truck (拖车). So, Billy suggested that they push the car. The woman lives more than five miles away.”（司机负担不起拖车的费用。所以，比利建议他们来推车。这个女人住在5英里之外。）可知，三个青少年在去超市的路上帮忙把一辆车推到车主家里。故选D项。 2．细节理解题。根据第二段“Dan Morrison, who also stopped to help, told CNN the driver’s jaw dropped on hearing the teens’ offer.”（丹·莫里森也停下来帮忙，他告诉CNN，司机听到这两个孩子的提议后大吃一惊。）可知，女司机对孩子们的提议感到很惊讶。故选A项。 3．细节理解题。根据第三段“Morrison drove behind them with his hazard lights (双闪灯) on for safety.”（为了安全起见，莫里森开着危险信号灯跟在他们后面。）可知，莫里森是通过警告后面的司机保持距离来帮助青少年的。故选D项。 4．推理判断题。根据第一段“They quickly found the problem and determined the car was too dangerous to drive.”（他们很快发现了问题所在，并认定这辆车开起来太危险了。）第二段“So, Billy suggested that they push the car.”（所以，比利建议他们来推车。）以及倒数第二段“After more than two and a half hours of pushing, they finally delivered the car back home.”（经过两个半小时的推挤，他们终于把车送回家了。）可推断，这些青少年很有爱心。故选C项。 Passage 3 （24-25学年高一下 四川省自贡市·期末） When Paul Cotter’s father, Richard, was 52, he was fired from a large printing company after working there for over 30 years. Before, Richard Cotter was known for his sharp mind. Now, he found it too difficult to deal with the slightest bit of pressure. The next few years, he lost job from job. Everyone assumed it was a crisis of confidence. No one suspected the underlying reason: cognitive decline due to early-onset Alzheimer’s disease. Then, when Richard Cotter was 58, he was formally diagnosed (诊断) with Alzheimer’s. Paul Cotter recalls that his father was horrified by the diagnosis. “But I imagine he also felt some sense of relief,” Paul Cotter said. “Finally, there was an explanation for his decline. And in spite of it all, he still wanted to keep working.” That’s where Paul Cotter’s unsung hero stepped in. It was the Hidden Brain team. When Cotter’s father applied for a job there, he disclosed (透露) his diagnosis and the limitations that came with it. But still the firm offered him the position — handling small tasks like making copies. “They gave him a paycheck, which made him feel needed and valued,” Cotter said. “But more than just a job, they gave him respect, dignity and a sense of purpose at a time when his life was falling apart.” The disease continued to progress. Eventually, his father had difficulty keeping his balance, and one day, he fell off a small stepladder. It was clear that it was no longer safe for him to continue working. The company let Cotter’s parents know that with deep regret, it would have to let his father go. On his father’s final day on the job, his colleagues threw him a goodbye party to thank him for his service. “What a beautiful, remarkable gesture that was,” Cotter said. Cotter’s three brothers and sister still talk about the company’s care for their father. They wish they could tell their father’s colleagues how much that generosity has meant to their family, all these years later. 1．What do we know about Richard from paragraph 1? A．He used to be considered intelligent. B．He regained confidence in job-hunting. C．He needed outside assistance to survive. D．He was the oldest worker at the printing company. 2．Which words best describe Richard after his formal diagnosis? A．Puzzled but energetic. B．Confident and ambitious. C．Bored and annoyed. D．Scared but relieved. 3．How did the Hidden Brain help Richard? A．By assigning manageable tasks. B．By offering a well-paid position. C．By providing post-retirement instructions. D．By working out a new cure for Alzheimer’s. 4．What can we say about the impact of the Hidden Brain on Cotter’s family? A．Predictable. B．Short-lived. C．Far-reaching. D．Insignificant. 【答案】1．A 2．D 3．A 4．C 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。讲述了保罗·科特的父亲患早发性阿尔茨海默病后被原公司解雇，后来Hidden Brain团队雇他，后因病情离职时同事为他办告别派对。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段“Before, Richard Cotter was known for his sharp mind.(此前，理查德以思维敏捷著称)”可知，理查德过去被认为很聪明。故选A。 2．推理判断题。根据第一段“Paul Cotter recalls that his father was horrified by the diagnosis. “But I imagine he also felt some sense of relief,” Paul Cotter said. “Finally, there was an explanation for his decline. And in spite of it all, he still wanted to keep working.”(保罗·科特回忆说，他的父亲被诊断结果吓坏了。“但我想他也可能感到了某种解脱，”保罗说，“终于，他的衰退原因有了一个解释。尽管如此，他仍然想要继续工作。”)”可知，在正式确诊之后，对于理查德而言，感到害怕但又感到宽慰。故选D。 3．细节理解题。根据第二段“But still the firm offered him the position — handling small tasks like making copies.(但公司仍然给他提供了职位——负责处理诸如复印之类的简单任务)”可知，Hidden Brain通过分配可完成的任务帮助理查德。故选A。 4．细节理解题。根据最后一段“They wish they could tell their father’s colleagues how much that generosity has meant to their family, all these years later.(他们希望能告诉父亲的同事们，这么多年过去了，这份慷慨对他们这个家庭来说意味着多么重要的意义)”可知，Hidden Brain对科特家庭所产生的影响是极其深远的。故选C。 主题 04 人与社会 —— 社会服务与人际沟通 Passage 1 （24-25学年高一下 四川省广安市·期末） It all started on a stoop (门廊). I picked up a book and started reading to the neighborhood kids. When I finished reading, the kids didn’t want story time to stop. So I said, “You guys can read a book at home.” “We don’t have any books at home.” they responded. It was an unpleasant reminder that there are children who don’t have a single book at home. As a public librarian, I quickly realized that the kids that I saw coming into the library weren’t the same ones I was reading to out on my front stoop. I learned about something called book deserts. A book desert is an area or a community with limited access to books and reading materials. I was aware that I wasn’t going to meet my neighbors who need it most inside library’s walls. So I quit my job and took to the streets, becoming a street librarian who is doing work to increase literary access outside of traditional settings. Book deserts are often found in economically disadvantaged areas, where bookstores and libraries are not enough. Lower-income neighbors may lack the resources to buy books from the bookstore or pay library fines. Residents may be working multiple jobs or facing hardships that make a trip to the library an additional stress. Requirement of identification, fines and fees, all while seemingly normal, can become difficult for families facing hardships. Therefore, I’m making books appear in everyday places in extraordinary ways. I fix free public book vending machines (自助售书机), host street-corner story times, and pop up on the block with free bookstores, so kids who don’t have McDonald’s money don’t have to worry about having book-fair money. You’ll find me delivering books to your front stoop. I have delivered 5,000 books to children living in book deserts. I believe everyone is a reader. They just haven’t found the right book yet. And that’s where librarians step in. We must meet them where they are and guide them along that journey. 1．What inspired the author to become a street librarian? A．The kids’ lack of books at home. B．The kids’ request for more stories. C．Her love for reading books on stoops. D．Her curiosity for seeking book deserts. 2．What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A．The causes of book deserts. B．The struggles of a street librarian. C．The challenges of working more jobs. D．The importance of traditional libraries. 3．How does the author help kids in book deserts? A．By lowering book prices. B．By donating money to them. C．By inviting them to schools. D．By providing free books. 4．What can we conclude from the text? A．Street libraries will replace public ones. B．Librarians should reach out to readers. C．Libraries should maintain traditional rules. D．Book deserts exist even in rich areas. 【答案】1．A 2．A 3．D 4．B 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者从公共图书馆馆员转变为街头图书馆员，致力于解决书籍荒漠问题，为孩子们提供免费书籍的故事。 【详解】69．推理判断题。根据第一段中““We don’t have any books at home.” they responded. It was an unpleasant reminder that there are children who don’t have a single book at home. (“我们家里没有任何书。”他们回答道。这让人很不舒服地想起，有些孩子家里一本书都没有)”以及第三段中“So I quit my job and took to the streets, becoming a street librarian who is doing work to increase literary access outside of traditional settings. (所以我辞去了工作，走上街头，成为一名街头图书馆员，致力于在传统环境之外增加文学接触机会)”可知，作者成为街头图书馆员的灵感来自于孩子们家里没有书这一事实。故选A。 1．主旨大意题。根据第四段“Book deserts are often found in economically disadvantaged areas, where bookstores and libraries are not enough. Lower-income neighbors may lack the resources to buy books from the bookstore or pay library fines. Residents may be working multiple jobs or facing hardships that make a trip to the library an additional stress. Requirement of identification, fines and fees, all while seemingly normal, can become difficult for families facing hardships. (书籍荒漠通常出现在经济不发达地区，那里的书店和图书馆数量不足。低收入的邻居可能缺乏从书店买书或支付图书馆罚款的资源。居民可能同时打几份工，或面临困难，这使得去图书馆成为一种额外的压力。身份证明、罚款和费用，尽管看似正常，但对于面临困难的家庭来说可能会变得困难)”可知，本段主要讲述了书籍荒漠形成的原因，包括经济不发达、书店和图书馆数量不足、低收入家庭缺乏资源以及居民面临的多重压力等。故选A。 2．细节理解题。根据第五段“Therefore, I’m making books appear in everyday places in extraordinary ways. I fix free public book vending machines (自助售书机), host street-corner story times, and pop up on the block with free bookstores, so kids who don’t have McDonald’s money don’t have to worry about having book-fair money. You’ll find me delivering books to your front stoop. I have delivered 5,000 books to children living in book deserts. (因此，我正在以非凡的方式让书籍出现在日常场所。我修理免费的公共图书自动售货机，在街角举办故事时间，并在街区开设免费书店，这样没有麦当劳钱的孩子就不必担心没有书展的钱。你会发现我把书送到你家门口。我已经给生活在书籍荒漠中的孩子们送去了5000本书)”可知，作者通过提供免费书籍来帮助书籍荒漠中的孩子们。故选D。 3．推理判断题。根据最后一段“I believe everyone is a reader. They just haven’t found the right book yet. And that’s where librarians step in. We must meet them where they are and guide them along that journey. (我相信每个人都是读者。他们只是还没有找到合适的书。这就是图书馆员介入的地方。我们必须在他们所在的地方与他们相遇，并引导他们完成这段旅程)”可知，作者认为图书馆员应该主动接触读者，引导他们找到合适的书籍，因此可以得出结论，图书馆员应该主动接触读者。故选B。 Passage 2 （24-25学年高一下 四川省凉山州·期末） One of my most amazing experiences was spending a night in the middle of the Amazon rainforest. Our guide was Aparecida, a woman who was brought up in the middle of the dense rainforest. Since there are no trails, we had to cut our way through the jungle searching for a good place to spend the night. We followed her. As she was cutting the branches and other obstacles, it was like being in an adventurous movie. After a couple of hours, we found a big tree which seemed ideal to attach the hammocks (吊床) to. We cleared the ground around and hang up our hammocks. In the raining season, we had to prepare for unexpected showers. We also wanted to sleep under the sky, so we built a small shelter in case it rained. When our fire was out, complete darkness came upon us, and this was the moment when the jungle around woke up. We started to hear louder and louder noise of crickets, small birds and monkeys. Many times we woke up during the night, when small branches or leaves fell into our hammocks. Sometimes the noise was really strong, especially when the howler monkeys were roaring in the distance. We could not sleep deeply, but we enjoyed listening to the music of the rainforest. It was an unbelievable experience. We got up at 4 am to see the sunrise. Aparecida took us to a small trail where we could get familiar with different herbs and unusual jungle fruits. On the way out of the jungle, we saw a deer crossing the road. Later, we took a boat to a place where two rivers, the Amazon and Tapajos, join each other. In the short two-hour boat trip, we saw loads of animals: sloths, different parrots, colorful birds and iguanas. We enjoyed especially our encounter with the sloths, which move about so slowly on top of the trees, and when they see you they try to hide, but they do it so slowly that it makes you smile. 1．Why did Aparecida cut the things in the jungle? A．To prepare for making a movie. B．To create a trail through the rainforest. C．To find a place for spending the night. D．To shelter from a heavy rain. 2．What happened when the fire was out? A．They had a sound sleep. B．They escaped the rain. C．The howler monkeys approached. D．The jungle became lively. 3．What did they find particularly enjoyable during the boat trip? A．Encountering sloths in the trees. B．Seeing various parrots flying around. C．Watching the tropical sunrise. D．Learning about jungle herbs and fruits. 4．Which of the following can be the best title for the passage? A．An Enthusiastic Guide in the Amazon Rainforest B．An Unforgettable Adventure in the Amazon Rainforest C．Encountering Animals in the Amazon Rainforest D．Appreciating Sounds in the Amazon Rainforest 【答案】1．C 2．D 3．A 4．B 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述作者在亚马逊雨林中的难忘冒险经历，包括搭建营地、夜间体验及乘船见闻等。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Since there are no trails, we had to cut our way through the jungle searching for a good place to spend the night. We followed her. As she was cutting the branches and other obstacles, it was like being in an adventurous movie.(由于没有小路，我们不得不开辟出一条路穿过丛林，寻找一个好地方过夜。我们跟着她。当她砍断树枝和其他障碍物时，就像在看一部冒险电影)”可知，Aparecida在丛林中砍东西是为了开辟出一条穿过雨林的小路，以便寻找过夜的地方。故选C项。 2．细节理解题。根据第四段中的“When our fire was out, complete darkness came upon us, and this was the moment when the jungle around woke up. We started to hear louder and louder noise of crickets, small birds and monkeys.(当我们的火熄灭后，完全的黑暗笼罩了我们，而就在这时，周围的丛林苏醒了。我们开始听到越来越响的蟋蟀、小鸟和猴子的叫声)”可知，火熄灭后，丛林变得热闹起来。故选D项。 3．细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“We enjoyed especially our encounter with the sloths, which move about so slowly on top of the trees, and when they see you they try to hide, but they do it so slowly that it makes you smile.(我们尤其喜欢与树懒的相遇，它们在树顶上移动得非常慢，当它们看到你时，它们会试图躲藏，但它们动作太慢了，这让你会心一笑)”可知，在乘船旅行中，他们特别享受与树上的树懒相遇的过程。故选A项。 4．主旨大意题。通读全文，并结合第一段“One of my most amazing experiences was spending a night in the middle of the Amazon rainforest.(我最奇妙的经历之一，是在亚马逊雨林的深处度过了一个夜晚)”可知，文章主要讲述了作者在亚马逊雨林中的奇妙经历，包括跟随向导开辟道路、搭建营地、在吊床上过夜聆听雨林声音、早起看日出以及乘船途中遇到各种动物等，这些都构成了一次难忘的雨林冒险。因此，“An Unforgettable Adventure in the Amazon Rainforest（亚马逊雨林中一次难忘的冒险）”最适合作为本文标题。故选B项。 主题01 人与社会——历史社会与文化 Passage 1 （24-25学年高一下 四川省仁寿县校联考·期末） Two Canadian teenagers, Joshua Wentges-Faiz and Leo Gunawardena, have been taking on a series of remarkable challenges. Their most recent feat(壮举) involved following the Lake Ontario coastline for 73 kilometers, walking from Toronto to Hamilton, Canada, in about 18 hours. “We like to challenge ourselves physically and mentally. We like to overcome challenges like these. And we feel as though going on a long walk is kind of just the purest form of challenge that you can have,” Gunawardena told CBC News. With very little preparation, the two 16-year-olds began their journey at 6 am, starting in darkness and finishing before midnight. They took several breaks, stopping at benches with nice views along the way. On their walk, one of the dazzling sights they encountered was an abandoned cargo ship. “You’d be surprised by the amount of things that you don’t see when you’re driving and that you will see when you’re taking your time walking,” said Gunawardena. However, the journey was not only a physical trial (考验) but also a significant mental challenge. There were moments of loneliness for the pair, requiring them to support each other along the way. Around 70 km into the walk, they came across a person on a bridge who appeared to be experiencing a mental health crisis. “I wasn’t sure what was going to happen ... me and Leo, we tried to convince(说服) him out of it and ended up calling the police, and the situation was deescalated(缓和) and everyone was OK,” Wentges-Faiz told CBC News. The walk is now long over but Wentges-Faiz and Gunawardena are not done challenging themselves, with plans to embark on(开始) a two-day 100 km walk in the near future. 1．What was the main purpose of Joshua and Leo’s walk along the Lake Ontario coastline? A．To create a travel guide. B．To compete in a walking contest. C．To push their body and mind limits. D．To measure the time to cover the length. 2．What unexpected sight did the teenagers observe during their walk? A．Midnight stars. B．A deserted ship. C．A beautiful sunset. D．Breathtaking beaches. 3．What can be inferred about Joshua and Leo’s response to the mental health crisis? A．They made wrong decisions. B．They failed in the mental trail. C．They are two inexperienced hikers. D．They are good at handling emergencies. 4．Where is the passage most likely from? A．A travel guide. B．A newspaper. C．A fantasy novel. D．A history textbook. 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．D 4．B 【导语】本文是一篇人物特写。文章主要讲述了两名加拿大16岁少年Joshua Wentges-Faiz与Leo Gunawardena历时18小时徒步73公里穿越安大略湖沿岸的挑战经历。 1．细节理解题。根据文章第二段““We like to challenge ourselves physically and mentally. We like to overcome challenges like these. And we feel as though going on a long walk is kind of just the purest form of challenge that you can have,” Gunawardena told CBC News.(Gunawardena在接受加拿大广播公司（CBC）新闻采访时表示：“我们喜欢在身体和精神上挑战自我。我们乐于克服诸如此类的挑战。而且我们觉得，进行一次长途步行在某种程度上是最纯粹的挑战形式。”)”可知，Joshua Wentges-Faiz与Leo Gunawardena喜欢在身体和精神上挑战自己，他们觉得长途步行是一种纯粹的挑战形式，他们想要克服这样的挑战。也就是说，他们沿着安大略湖海岸线步行的主要目的是挑战他们身体和精神的极限。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据文章第三段“On their walk, one of the dazzling sights they encountered was an abandoned cargo ship.(在步行过程中，他们遇到的一处令人惊艳的景象是一艘废弃的货船。)”可知，在他们的步行过程中，遇到的令人惊艳的景象之一是一艘废弃的货船。故选B。 3．推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段“Around 70 km into the walk, they came across a person on a bridge who appeared to be experiencing a mental health crisis. “I wasn’t sure what was going to happen ... me and Leo, we tried to convince(说服) him out of it and ended up calling the police, and the situation was deescalated(缓和) and everyone was OK,” Wentges-Faiz told CBC News.(在步行到大约70公里的时候，他们在一座桥上遇到了一个似乎正处于精神健康危机中的人。Wentges-Faiz在接受加拿大广播公司新闻采访时说：“我不确定会发生什么…… 我和Leo试图说服他放弃（轻生的念头），最后我们报了警，情况得到了缓和，大家都平安无事。”)”可知，在步行大约70公里时，他们遇到一个似乎有精神健康危机的人，他们试图说服此人，最后报了警，使情况得到了缓和，大家都平安无事。由此可推测，他们擅长处理紧急情况。故选D。 4．推理判断题。根据文章内容可知，文章主要讲述了两名加拿大青少年约书亚和利奥沿着安大略湖海岸线步行的经历，包括他们步行的目的、途中的见闻以及遇到的紧急情况等。文中还引用了他们接受CBC新闻采访时说的话，并且以一种客观、纪实的方式呈现这些信息。而报纸经常会报道各种人物的事迹和新闻事件，本文这种对青少年挑战自我经历的报道符合报纸的风格，而且文中引用CBC新闻的采访也进一步表明它可能来自报纸。故选B。 Passage 2 （24-25学年高一下 四川省成都市蓉城联盟·期末） Ever since she was a young girl, Yao Jianping, a well-known artist from Suzhou, East China’s Jiangsu Province, has been creating Suzhou Embroidery (刺绣), one of the oldest embroidery techniques in the world and the most representative type of Chinese embroidery. Born to a Suzhou Embroidery family, Yao has a pair of skillful hands. She began to learn embroidery from her mother when she was 7 or 8 years old. By the age of 17, she focused solely on improving her skills at Suzhou Embroidery. It takes a moment to discover beauty, but it takes a long time to create beauty. After years of studying, she finally transformed her art from the level of “looking lifelike” to “being alive”. All she needs are a needle and a few silk threads. Then with her magical hands, anything can happen. Her traditional techniques and innovative skills have won her the title “Master of Folk Arts and Crafts” from UNESCO. With a simple needle moving up and down on a piece of cloth, a delicate flower begins to take shape under her hands. Watching Yao Jianping doing embroidery is just like watching a ballet performance of fingers. It is both elegant and skillful. Yao uses this millennia-old art to depict (描绘) the age of today. She not only produced a series of works representing the highest level of contemporary Suzhou Embroidery but also managed to get the fine art to reach more ordinary people. Yao has launched new products with Suzhou Embroidery elements, including Chinese qipao dresses. She has become better known around the world in the past few years, since her works began being presented as national gifts to world leaders. In 2015, British Queen Elizabeth II received a fine piece of Suzhou Embroidery as a gift. 1．How did Yao improve her skills? A．By discovering beauty in life. B．By years of constant studying. C．By seeking help from her mother. D．By changing the traditional techniuqes. 2．Why does the writer mention ballet performance in paragraph 2? A．To present Yao’s excellent embroidering skills. B．To explain why embroidery works are so fascinating. C．To introduce how Yao is inspired by other forms of arts. D．To demonstrate the similarity between dancing and embroidering. 3．What can be inferred from paragraph 4? A．There are few traditional elements in Yao’s works. B．It’s difficult for average people to learn about fine arts. C．Yao tries to spread Chinese culture through embroidery.

These intelligent and talkative birds are known for their different calls. However, decades ago, they faced the cruel reality of dying out in the wild. In the 1970s, with no other options left, they were taken into captivity (圈养) as an important measure to save the species. Unfortunately, by 2002, they completely disappeared from the wild. Thankfully, a special breeding program managed to turn things around to some degree. The population has now grown to over 100 birds. But the journey to reintroduce them to their natural habitat has been tough. In 2016, a group of ‘alalā was released on Hawai’s Big Island. Aware of the presence of their natural predator (捕食动物), a hawk known as the ‘io, wildlife protectors provided the birds with predator-training. Despite these efforts, the hawks still managed to hunt the released crows, and recaptured the remaining birds. Now, a new and promising effort is being made. Five one-year-old ‘alalā have been set free in a forest on Maui, an area free from hawks. Younger crows, being more adaptable, are expected to have a better chance of survival. In the forest, the birds are placed in a safe, netted enclosure (围场). Scientists are monitoring their every move closely, and they are also provided with additional food because they haven’t yet had the ability to find food independently. For the ‘alalā, after so many years in captivity, there is no clear path for fully returning them to the wild. Hanna Mounce, the manager of the Maui Forest Bird Recovery Project, emphasizes that every small achievement counts in the fight to protect Hawaii’s precious wildlife. Although the ‘alalā doesn’t fully adapt to the wild just yet, the fact that they have been released and are currently doing well is unbelievably encouraging and marks a significant milestone in protection efforts. 1．What do we know about the ‘alalā from the first paragraph? A．They are fit to live in groups. B．They are an endangered species. C．They are Hawaiians’ favorites. D．They are good at communication. 2．What are scientists doing about the five one-year-old ‘alalā now? A．Getting close to them slowly. B．Adjusting their food structure. C．Teaching them different living skills. D．Putting them in a forest under protection. 3．What is Hanna Mounce’s attitude towards the ‘alalā protection efforts? A．Unclear. B．Optimistic C．Worried. D．Critical. 4．What can be a suitable title for the text? A．’Alalā: A Unique Bird Found B．Maui: A Dream Place for Birds C．Project: Saving Precious Wildlife D．Journey: From Captivity to the Wild 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．B 4．D 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了仅产于夏威夷的‘alalā曾濒临灭绝，经圈养繁殖后，2016 年和现在尝试放归野外，现虽未完全适应但已取得进展。 1．推理判断题。根据第一段中的“However, decades ago, they faced the cruel reality of dying out in the wild. In the 1970s, with no other options left, they were taken into captivity (圈养) as an important measure to save the species. Unfortunately, by 2002, they completely disappeared from the wild. (然而，几十年前，他们面临着在野外灭绝的残酷现实。在20世纪70年代，由于没有其他选择，它们被圈养作为拯救物种的重要措施。不幸的是，到2002年，它们完全从野外消失了。)”可知，几十年前这种鸟面临在野外灭绝的残酷现实，2002 年它们从野外完全消失了，后来被圈养来拯救这个物种，由此可以推断出它们是濒危物种。故选B项。 2．细节理解题。根据第三段中“Five one-year-old ‘alalā have been set free in a forest on Maui, an area free from hawks. Younger crows, being more adaptable, are expected to have a better chance of survival. In the forest, the birds are placed in a safe, netted enclosure (围场). Scientists are monitoring their every move closely, and they are also provided with additional food because they haven’t yet had the ability to find food independently. ( 5只一岁大的‘alalā被放生在毛伊岛的森林里，这是一个没有鹰的地区。年轻的乌鸦适应能力更强，预计会有更好的生存机会。在森林里，鸟儿被安置在一个安全的、用网围起来的围栏里。科学家们密切监视着它们的一举一动，而且还为它们提供了额外的食物，因为它们还没有独立寻找食物的能力。)”可知，五只一岁大的‘alalā被放到毛伊岛的森林里，这个森林没有它们的捕食者，并且它们被放在安全的有网的围场里，科学家密切监测它们，还给它们提供额外食物，这说明它们被放在受保护的森林里。故选D项。 3．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Hanna Mounce, the manager of the Maui Forest Bird Recovery Project, emphasizes that every small achievement counts in the fight to protect Hawaii’s precious wildlife. Although the ‘alalā doesn’t fully adapt to the wild just yet, the fact that they have been released and are currently doing well is unbelievably encouraging and marks a significant milestone in protection efforts. (毛伊岛森林鸟类恢复项目的经理汉娜·蒙斯强调，在保护夏威夷珍贵野生动物的斗争中，每一个小成就都很重要。虽然“alalā”还不能完全适应野外环境，但它们已经被释放，而且目前表现良好，这一事实令人难以置信地鼓舞人心，标志着保护工作的一个重要里程碑。)”可知，汉娜·蒙斯强调在保护夏威夷珍贵野生动物的斗争中每一个小成就都很重要，虽然‘alalā还没有完全适应野外，但它们被释放且目前状况良好这一事实令人难以置信地鼓舞人心，标志着保护工作的一个重要里程碑，由此可以看出她对‘alalā的保护工作持乐观态度。故选B项。 4．主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章主要讲述了‘alalā这种鸟从圈养到努力回归野外的过程，包括之前在野外濒临灭绝被圈养，后来尝试放归野外遇到困难，现在又有新的放归努力等。D 选项“Journey: From Captivity to the Wild（旅程：从圈养到野外）”最能概括文章内容，适合作为文章的标题。故选D项。 主题02：人与社会——文学艺术与体育 Passage 1 （24-25学年高一下 四川省眉山县级学校联考·期末） David Rush broke his 181st record, giving him a new kind of record — the record for the most Guinness World Records held at the same time. Rush, who’s 40, began working to set world records to show how important it is to keep doing our best and push our own limits, even when things are hard. In 2015, Rush decided to set a record by juggling (玩杂耍) with his eyes covered. After practicing for several weeks, Rush managed to juggle blindfolded for 6 minutes and 34 seconds. That was Rush’s first Guinness World Record. He even broke this record twice in a row (连续). Rush enjoys the hard work of training to break records, during which he finds it helps him stay in shape, and that it’s fun to try new things. Many of the records Rush sets are unusual. He’s balanced 101 rolls of toilet paper on his head. He’s caught 59 marshmallows (棉花软糖) in his mouth in one minute. Rush’s family supports him in his efforts. His three children enjoy practicing with him. In 2021, his wife allowed Rush to wrap (用……包裹) her in plastic wrap to set a new record. Most of Rush’s records get set at his home, with volunteers helping out, carefully recording the event. But Rush’s main job is giving encouraging speeches at businesses and schools. Technology is very important in today’s world, and that makes him a big fan of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) in education. He wants students to believe that even if they struggle with science or math, they can still become an engineer or anything they want to become. In all, Rush has broken over 300 Guinness World Records, but many of these records have been broken again. He visited the main office of Guinness World Records in London, England. During his visit, he set 15 world records in a single day. 1．What mainly drives Rush to set records? A．His curiosity about new things. B．His goal to win most world titles. C．His preference for blindfolded juggling. D．His determination to challenge himself. 2．What do we know about Rush’s Guinness World Records? A．He broke his own record in blindfolded juggling. B．He failed in balancing toilet paper rolls on his head. C．He first set a record in wrapping his kids in plastic wrap. D．He set two records in catching marshmallows in his mouth. 3．What message does Rush express in his speeches at schools and businesses? A．The necessity of physical fitness. B．The importance of becoming famous. C．His encouragement to go after dreams. D．His dissatisfaction with breaking records. 4．Which can be the most suitable title for the text? A．Holding a World Record by Chance. B．Setting a Record by Setting Records. C．The Journey of a Record-breaking Family. D．The Science Behind Guinness World Records. 【答案】1．D 2．A 3．C 4．B 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。本文讲述了David Rush不断打破吉尼斯世界纪录的故事，他以此激励人们挑战自我、追求梦想。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段“Rush, who’s 40, began working to set world records to show how important it is to keep doing our best and push our own limits, even when things are hard.(40岁的Rush开始努力创造世界纪录，以表明即使在困难的时候，我们也要尽力而为，挑战自己的极限，这是非常重要的)”可知，是他挑战自己的决心主要驱使Rush去创造纪录。故选D。 2．细节理解题。根据第二段“After practicing for several weeks, Rush managed to juggle blindfolded for 6 minutes and 34 seconds. That was Rush’s first Guinness World Record. He even broke this record twice in a row.(经过几个星期的练习，Rush成功地蒙着眼睛杂耍了6分钟34秒。这是Rush的第一个吉尼斯世界纪录。他甚至连续两次打破了这个纪录)”可知，关于Rush的吉尼斯世界纪录，我们知道他打破了自己蒙眼杂耍的纪录。故选A。 3．推理判断题。根据第四段“But Rush’s main job is giving encouraging speeches at businesses and schools.(但Rush的主要工作是在企业和学校发表鼓舞人心的演讲)”和“He wants students to believe that even if they struggle with science or math, they can still become an engineer or anything they want to become.(他希望学生们相信，即使他们在科学或数学上遇到困难，他们仍然可以成为工程师或任何他们想成为的人)”可知，Rush在学校和企业的演讲中表达了他鼓励人们追逐梦想这一信息。故选C。 4．主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文主要讲述了David Rush不断打破吉尼斯世界纪录的故事，他以此激励人们挑战自我、追求梦想，他创造了保持最多吉尼斯世界纪录的新纪录，由此可知，B项：“Setting a Record by Setting Records.(通过创造纪录来创造纪录)”这一标题最适合这篇文章。故选B。 Passage 2 （24-25学年高一下 四川省仁寿县校联考·期末） Each year people are crazy about different ceremonies. Many graduation ceremonies look special and different. But for Melody, it looked so unique because of the classmate who graduated alongside her — her grandmother, 75-year-old Pat Ormond. They both went to the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga (UTC) and graduated together. Pat took her first college class 42 years ago. After one semester, she dropped out to move to Chattanooga, where she spent the next several decades working as an accountant and raising a family. While she did take an occasional class at UTC, she says her family continued to encourage her to go back to finish her degree, especially after she retired. She agreed when her granddaughter decided to move to study psychology at UTC after a year at Berea College. They both entered UTC with enough college credits to make graduating together a possibility. Pat and Melody graduated on November 20 as part of UTC’s 2020 class. The achievement has also made Pat somewhat of a celebrity. “We are so proud to have graduates like Melody and her grandmother, Pat Ormond, in the UTC class of 2020,” said Steven, UTC Chancellor. “Together, they personify the determination, commitment and love for lifelong learning we encourage in every UTC graduate.” Pat hopes that she can be an example to other non-traditional college students who want to get their degrees. “Learning never stops,” Pat said. “That’s something that my father taught me when I was young. No matter what you do, learning never stops.” Pat isn’t planning to stop anytime soon. She’s already working on another degree-a bachelor’s degree in history. Meanwhile, her granddaughter, who is hunting jobs, is interested in getting a master’s degree in clinical psychology so she can become a lawyer. But she says she’s in no rush. Her nanna has taught her that she has plenty of time. 1．Why was Melody’s graduation ceremony so special? A．Because her grandmother graduated alongside her. B．Because her grandmother was 75 years old. C．Because it looked quite different from others. D．Because she celebrated it with all her classmates. 2．What can we know about Pat’s family? A．They are anxious to be celebrities. B．They prefer attending non-traditional colleges. C．They never stop creating opportunities. D．They support and encourage each other. 3．What does the underlined word “personify” in Paragraph 4 mean? A．Repeat. B．Represent. C．Identify. D．Follow. 4．Which of the following can best describe Pat Ormond’s story? A．Love me, love my dog. B．Passion gives life power. C．A good beginning is half done. D．It’s never too late to learn. 【答案】1．A 2．D 3．B 4．D 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了75岁的帕特·奥蒙德在退休后继续攻读学位，并得到家人支持的故事，体现了她终身学习的决心、承诺和爱。 1．细节理解题。根据文章第一段“But for Melody, it looked so unique because of the classmate who graduated alongside her — her grandmother, 75-year-old Pat Ormond.(但对梅洛迪来说，它看起来是如此独特，因为和她一起毕业的同学——她75岁的祖母帕特·奥蒙德。)”可知，梅洛迪的毕业典礼很特别因为她祖母和她一起毕业。故选A。 2．推理判断题。根据文章第二段“While she did take an occasional class at UTC, she says her family continued to encourage her to go back to finish her degree, especially after she retired.( 虽然她偶尔会在UTC上一门课，但她说，她的家人继续鼓励她回去完成学位，特别是在她退休后。)”可推知，Pat的家人互相支持和鼓励。故选D。 3．词句猜测题。根据文章第一段“But for Melody, it looked so unique because of the classmate who graduated alongside her — her grandmother, 75-year-old Pat Ormond.( 但对梅洛迪来说，它看起来是如此独特，因为和她一起毕业的同学——她75岁的祖母帕特·奥蒙德。)”和上文““We are so proud to have graduates like Melody and her grandmother, Pat Ormond, in the UTC class of 2020,” said Steven, UTC Chancellor.( UTC校长史蒂文说:“我们很自豪能有像梅洛迪和她的祖母帕特·奥蒙德这样的2020届UTC毕业生。”)”可知，此处表示“他们共同体现了我们鼓励每一位UTC毕业生终身学习的决心、承诺和爱。” Personify意为“体现了”。故选B。 4．推理判断题。文章讲述了75岁的帕特·奥蒙德在退休后继续攻读学位，并得到家人支持的故事，体现了她终身学习的决心、承诺和爱。由此可知，D项：It’s never too late to learn.(活到老，学到老。)符合故事的主旨。故选D。 Passage 3 （24-25学年高一下 四川省成都市成华区·期末） At 15, I unwillingly joined a mountain-climbing camp in the Rockies. My fear of heights made me freeze, but my parents insisted it would “build character.” On the first morning, our instructor, Sarah, gathered us at the base. “This climb isn’t about speed or strength,” she said. “It’s about listening—to your body, the mountain, and your teammates.” I rolled my eyes, convinced that reaching the summit was the only measure of success. My teammate Jake, a confident athlete, rushed ahead, laughing at my cautious pace. “You’re wasting time!” he shouted. By midday, however, his confidence broke. Jake lay down suddenly on a narrow ledge, trembling from thirst and muscle pain. Meanwhile, I adjusted my equipment, drank a little water every 15 minutes, and studied the rock formations. When storm clouds darkened the sky, panic struck me. Sarah’s voice was repeated in my mind: “Control what you can. Let go of what you can’t.” The final stretch tested everyone. Jake fell behind, humbled and silent. I focused on three-step rhythms: plant, pull, and breathe. At the summit, wind beat my face as I gazed at the valley below. Jake approached, voice shaky. “I wanted to prove I was the best,” he admitted. “But I forgot to respect the mountain.” That moment reshaped my understanding of growth—it wasn’t about conquering (征服) peaks but embracing humility and patience. Years later, as a guide, I teach philosophy at a high school. One student recently asked, “What if I fail?” I smiled. “Failure isn’t falling, it’s refusing to learn why you fell.” Mountains mirror life’s struggles: unpredictable, demanding, yet transformative (能使人改变的). Every struggle and setback carves resilience (适应力) into our stories. The true summit isn’t a physical place—it’s the wisdom we carry back to the world below. 1．What did the author’s teammate, Jake, realize at the summit? A．He should have climbed faster. B．He needed to respect the mountain. C．The climb was about proving his strength. D．He should not have drunk water every 15 minutes. 2．What did the instructor, Sarah, emphasize as the key to the climb? A．Speed and strength. B．Control what you can. C．Competing with other climbers. D．Reaching the summit at all costs. 3．What can be inferred about the author’s attitude towards failure after the mountain-climbing experience? A．Failure is an opportunity for learning and growth. B．Failure is determined by not reaching the summit. C．Failure is a sign of weakness and should be avoided. D．Failure is a result of not being physically strong enough. 4．What lesson did the narrator learn from the mountain-climbing experience? A．The importance of speed and competition. B．The significance of physical strength. C．The value of humility and patience. D．The need to conquer every peak. 【答案】1．B 2．B 3．A 4．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要通过讲述作者参与登山活动的亲身经历，展现了个人成长与心态转变的过程，并由此延伸至对人生哲理的深刻思考。 1．细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Jake approached, voice shaky. “I wanted to prove I was the best,” he admitted. “But I forgot to respect the mountain.” That moment reshaped my understanding of growth—it wasn’t about conquering (征服) peaks but embracing humility and patience.(Jake走了过来，声音有些颤抖。“我想证明自己是最棒的，”他承认道，“但我忘了要敬畏这座山。”那一刻，我对成长的理解彻底改变了——成长不在于征服山峰，而在于心怀谦逊与耐心)”可知，Jake在山顶意识到自己需要敬畏山峰。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据文章第一段“On the first morning, our instructor, Sarah, gathered us at the base. “This climb isn’t about speed or strength,” she said. “It’s about listening—to your body, the mountain, and your teammates.”(第一天早上，我们的教练Sarah把大家召集在山脚下。“这次登山无关速度或力量，”她说，“关键在于倾听——倾听你的身体、这座山，还有你的队友。”)”以及第二段“When storm clouds darkened the sky, panic struck me. Sarah’s voice was repeated in my mind: “Control what you can. Let go of what you can’t.”(当暴风雨的乌云笼罩天空时，我慌了神。Sarah的话在我脑海里回响：“控制你能控制的，放下你控制不了的。”)”可知，Sarah认为登山的关键是控制自己能控制的。故选B。 3．推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“One student recently asked, “What if I fail?” I smiled. “Failure isn’t falling, it’s refusing to learn why you fell.” Mountains mirror life’s struggles: unpredictable, demanding, yet transformative (能使人改变的). Every struggle and setback carves resilience (适应力) into our stories. The true summit isn’t a physical place—it’s the wisdom we carry back to the world below(最近有个学生问我：“如果我失败了怎么办？”我笑了笑说：“失败不是跌倒，而是拒绝去思考跌倒的原因。”群山就像人生的困境：变幻莫测、充满挑战，却也能让人脱胎换骨。每一次挣扎与挫折，都在我们的生命故事里刻下坚韧的印记。真正的山顶并非某个具体的地方，而是我们带回到山下世界的那份智慧)”可知，作者认为失败的意义在于从中学习，而非单纯的跌倒本身。结合登山经历中作者对成长的理解（成长在于谦逊和耐心，而非征服山峰），可推断出作者认为失败是学习和成长的机会。故选A。 4．细节理解题。根据文章第三段“That moment reshaped my understanding of growth—it wasn’t about conquering (征服) peaks but embracing humility and patience.(那一刻，我对成长的理解彻底改变了——成长不在于征服山峰，而在于心怀谦逊与耐心)”可知，作者从登山经历中学到的是谦逊和耐心的价值。故选C。 主题 03 人与自我 —— 做人与做事 Passage 1 （24-25学年高一下 四川省眉山市东坡区·期末） Two years ago, my 11-year-old son sat me down for a talk. “Mom, it’s time,” he said. “Hear me out: It’s time we got actual TV. And you need an iPhone.” This funny conversation two years ago marked a shift in our relationship. Perhaps for the first time, I began to really listen to my son’s opinion about our home technology. Since his reasoning was sound and his suggestions within budget, I took his advice and was pleasantly surprised with the results. I’d known for a while that my son understands technology better than I do. On airplanes, he grabbed my phone to put it in airplane mode. He wired the speakers in our house. After something was stolen from our front yard, he picked out, set up, and now monitors our security camera. When my computer died, I took him shopping with me. As a teenager now, he has a busy social life, with skateboarding, basketball, and online gaming with his friends. I see our time together decreasing and our shared interests shrinking. That’s why I jumped at the chance when a friend mentioned writing technology reviews. I’m a writer, but I’d need a partner who has more tech knowledge than me. When I presented the idea to my teen, he immediately accepted. It’s changed our relationship in surprising ways. Where he used to get annoyed quickly at my technical ignorance, he’s learned to be more patient and explain things to me in a way that I can convey to an unknowing audience. The parent-child dynamic is not only changed; it’s even slightly reversed (颠倒). He’s leading me. I’m asking him for help and advice. My son has risen to the occasion. He’s taking it seriously, and to watch him mature in this way is an honor. As someone who’s not much of a reader, he now searches instruction manuals. Without any prompting, he’s even emailed and called, yes, made an actual phone call to customer service or tech support when sample products weren’t working as expected. I never imagined being a tech reviewer, but it’s proved to be a valuable way to learn from, work with and enjoy time with my teen. 1．What did the writer think of her son’s advice? A．It sounded ambitious. B．It was comprehensive. C．It was complicated. D．It sounded sensible. 2．What does the writer intend to do in paragraph 3? A．Prove her son’s better mastery of technology. B．Give examples of her son’s gift in technology. C．Describe their close parent-child relationship. D．Express her satisfaction of her son’s competence. 3．Why did the writer take her friend’s advice of writing technology reviews? A．Because she planned to learn more tech knowledge. B．Because her son was experienced in review writing. C．Because she wanted to improve their relationship. D．Because she hoped that her son could be successful. 4．What makes the writer feel honored? A．Her son’s attitudes to some unknown audiences. B．Her son’s dominance of the parent-child dynamic. C．Her son’s tolerance and patience to their relationship. D．Her son’s growth and careful attitude to the work. 【答案】1．D 2．A 3．C 4．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了作者与儿子在科技方面的关系变化，从一开始的儿子建议家里购买电视和手机，到儿子为家庭设置安全摄像头和协助作者写科技评测文章。通过他们共同学习科技知识和合作，这种家长与子女关系得到了改善和颠倒。文章强调了家庭科技的重要性和如何在其中建立更紧密的关系。 【详解】101．细节理解题。根据第二段中“Perhaps for the first time, I began to really listen to my son’s opinion about our home technology. Since his reasoning was sound and his suggestions within budget, I took his advice and was pleasantly surprised with the results.( 也许是第一次，我开始真正倾听儿子对我们家的技术的看法。由于他的理由合理，他的建议在预算内，我接受了他的建议，并对结果感到惊喜。)”可知，作者接受了儿子的建议，认为他提出的建议理由合理并且在预算内。故选D。 1．推理判断题。根据第三段中“I’d known for a while that my son understands technology better than I do. (我早就知道我儿子比我更懂科技。)”以及后文中“ On airplanes, he grabbed my phone to put it in airplane mode. He wired the speakers in our house. After something was stolen from our front yard, he picked out, set up, and now monitors our security camera. When my computer died, I took him shopping with me.(在飞机上，他抢过我的手机，把它调到飞行模式。他在我们家的扬声器上装了窃听器。在我们的前院有东西被偷后，他挑选并安装了监控摄像头。当我的电脑坏了，我带他去购物。)”可知，第三段通过举例说明儿子比作者更懂科技并且更精通科技。故选A。 2．推理判断题。根据倒数第三段中“ I see our time together decreasing and our shared interests shrinking. That’s why I jumped at the chance when a friend mentioned writing technology reviews.( 我看到我们在一起的时间越来越少，我们的共同兴趣越来越少。这就是为什么当一个朋友提到写技术评论时，我欣然接受了这个机会。)”以及最后一段中“I never imagined being a tech reviewer, but it’s proved to be a valuable way to learn from, work with and enjoy time with my teen.(我从未想过要成为一名技术评论员，但事实证明，这是向我的青少年学习、共事和享受时光的宝贵途径。)”可知，作者发现自己与孩子相处的时间越来越少，共同的兴趣越来越少，因此当作者朋友提出做一个科技评论员的时候，作者接受了朋友的建议是因为在此过程中，可以不断地与自己的孩子共同学习，共同进步，共同享受时光，改善彼此之间的关系。故选C。 3．细节理解题。根据最后一段中“My son has risen to the occasion. He’s taking it seriously, and to watch him mature in this way is an honor. (我儿子已经应付自如了。他很认真地对待这件事，看着他以这种方式成熟是一种荣幸。)”可知，当作者看到自己的儿子能够应付自如，并且有责任感的成熟的去对待和处理自己的工作，作者倍感骄傲和荣幸。故选D。 Passage 2 （24-25学年高一下 四川省雅安市·期末） It’s the last year of high school, and commonly young minds are turning their attention to the thought of leaving home. This seems a natural progression: parents have children and raise children; children graduate from high school and flee far from parents, returning on weekends to eat home-cooked meals. But what happens when a child loses home right before leaving? My family has lived in my home since I was two years old. Seventeen years later, as I got ready to leave for university, my parents decided that it was time to move. And naturally, I panicked. This was the place I used to run around with friends; where I got sunburned, chasing ants with sidewalk chalk; where I would sit for hours staring out, making up songs about the passersby. If we were to move, the new house wouldn’t be my home at all, just a strange, new place. After all, I’d be moving out to go to university. But something still wasn’t quite right. And then it hit me: this is what the move was really about. I wasn’t concerned about losing my childhood bedroom. What was bothering me was that I’d soon be completely responsible for myself. When I do go to university, I’ll go without a safe place to come home to. Of course I’ll have my family’s love and support, but I’ll never be able to go home again. As graduating high-school students, we’re all in love with the idea of going away and having wild adventures if we always have someplace to return to. Leaving the family home behind is really just growing up without a safety net. The move from one place in life to another is an important change. Because it’s true, you can never go home. Not really, however. Once you’ve had an adventure or two, you will still have a nice place to come back to for a nice visit, which is such a blessing. 1．How does the writer start the passage? A．By giving an answer to the question. B．By talking about adults’ experiences. C．By presenting a common phenomenon. D．By scolding the thought of leaving home. 2．What was the real reason behind the writer’s unwillingness to move? A．The responsibility of growing up. B．The strangeness of the new house. C．The loss of the childhood pleasure. D．The long years spent in the old home. 3．According to the last paragraph, how does the writer feel about returning home? A．Grateful. B．Adventurous. C．Depressed.

D．The outer world is full of adventures. 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．A 4．B 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者在高中毕业前，面对搬家和离家上大学所引发的关于成长和责任的思考。作者意识到，离家不仅是物理上的距离，更是心理上的成长和独立。她意识到自己即将完全独立，需要承担责任，这让她感到不安。 1．推理判断题。根据文章第一段中的“It’s the last year of high school, and commonly young minds are turning their attention to the thought of leaving home. This seems a natural progression: parents have children and raise children; children graduate from high school and flee far from parents, returning on weekends to eat home-cooked meals. But what happens when a child loses home right before leaving?(这是高中最后一年，通常青少年的思绪都会转向离家的念头。这似乎是一种自然的转变：父母养育孩子长大；孩子高中毕业后便远离父母，周末才回家吃家常饭菜。但如果孩子在离家前夕失去了家呢？)”可知，文章开始描述高中生即将离家这一现象。因此，作者是通过介绍一个普遍现象来开始写文章的。故选C项。 2．细节理解题。根据第三段“And then it hit me: this is what the move was really about. I wasn’t concerned about losing my childhood bedroom. What was bothering me was that I’d soon be completely responsible for myself.(然后我突然明白了：这正是搬家的真正原因。我担心的并不是失去我的童年卧室。真正困扰我的是，我很快就要完全对自己负责了。)”可知，作者不愿意搬家的真正原因是她很快就要完全为自己负责了，这正是成长的责任。故选A项。 3．细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Because it’s true, you can never go home. Not really, however. Once you’ve had an adventure or two, you will still have a nice place to come back to for a nice visit, which is such a blessing.(虽然这确实是真的，你永远无法真正回到过去。但是，一旦你经历了一两次冒险之后，你仍然会有一个不错的地方可以回来看看，这真是一件幸事。)”可知，在经历冒险后，仍然回家看看，这是一件幸事，因此作者对回家感到非常感激。故选A项。 4．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其根据第三段“And then it hit me: this is what the move was really about. I wasn’t concerned about losing my childhood bedroom. What was bothering me was that I’d soon be completely responsible for myself.(然后我突然明白了：这正是搬家的真正原因。我担心的并不是失去我的童年卧室。真正困扰我的是，我很快就要完全对自己负责了。)”可知，可知，文章主要讲述了作者在高中毕业前，面对搬家和离家上大学所引发的关于成长和责任的思考。作者意识到，离家不仅是物理上的距离，更是心理上的成长和独立。因此，文章传达的信息是关于成长和承担责任的重要性。故选B项。 Passage 3 （24-25学年高一下 四川省成都石室中学·期末） “At least you’ll be close to home!” That phrase ran through the weeks before my move to my college. I took comfort in knowing that home was close by if I needed it. The night before the move, I spoke with a sophomore (大学二年级) friend of mine who was moving back the next morning. I asked if he was sad to be leaving home and his response sparked in me an internal debate. “It was nice to be back but honestly, I’ve come to think of the college as my home.” Up until that moment, the move to college seemed like an extended version of summer camp. School wasn’t a home; it was a place for me to explore when I was away from home, right? As I packed my things, I really started thinking about the concept of home, and I couldn’t help but wonder: would I ever consider college my own home? The next day, once my bags were unpacked and my parents were gone, I took a moment to look around my dorm. It was absolutely nothing like my room: no bunnies, no blue curtains and no queen-sized bed. Despite the fun I was having and things I was learning in the following Welcome Week, I couldn’t bring myself to call it home. I longed for my bunnies. I even wanted my mom’s calls. “There’s no place like home.” I said to myself. Last night, I went to visit my friends and we spent the next hour talking about that missing feeling we all shared — about our families, friends, and old lives — and soon the sadness turned to fondness. One by one our friends came in to say goodnight and the room was filled with girls, all laughing and sharing our high school experiences. It wasn’t until about 1:00 a. m. that I turned to my roommate, saying, “It’s getting late. We should probably go home soon.” I was surprised by my own words. Somehow in the few hours, my dorm room had turned into a home. 1．How did the author react to her sophomore friend’s response at first? A．She was puzzled by his response B．She was completely certain about it. C．She thought he was telling a lie. D．She quite agreed with her friend. 2．What does the underlined word “bunnies” in paragraph 3 suggest? A．College lacked a harmonious atmosphere. B．Pet-keeping was not allowed in college dorm. C．She didn’t get used to her college dorm life then. D．College should prepare bunnies for new students. 3．Why was the author surprised by her own words at the end of the passage? A．Because it was rude to say that when everyone was happy. B．Because there were so many girls gathering in the dorm. C．Because she lost a good chance to forget homesickness D．Because she began to call her college home naturally. 4．What made the author begin to take college as home? A．Decorating her dorm like a home. B．Friends’ shared feelings. C．Her previous family and friends. D．Comforts from other girls. 【答案】1．A 2．C 3．D 4．B 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者对大学宿舍从陌生到逐渐视为家的情感转变过程。 1．推理判断题。 根据第二段“I asked if he was sad to be leaving home and his response sparked in me an internal debate.(我问他离开家是否难过，他的回答在我心中引发了一场争论)”可知，她对二年级朋友的回答存在疑问，感到困惑。故选A。 2．推理判断题。根据第三段“It was absolutely nothing like my room: no bunnies, no blue curtains and no queen-sized bed. Despite the fun I was having and things I was learning in the following Welcome Week, I couldn’t bring myself to call it home. I longed for my bunnies. I even wanted my mom’s calls.(它和我的房间一点也不像：没有兔子，没有蓝色的窗帘，也没有大床。尽管在接下来的迎新周里我玩得很开心，学到了很多东西，但我还是无法让自己称它为家。我想念我的兔子。我甚至还盼着妈妈的电话)”可知，作者列举宿舍没有家里的“兔子”等熟悉的物品，表达了对家的思念，故“兔子”暗示作者当时不习惯大学宿舍生活。故选C。 3．细节理解题。根据最后一段“It wasn’t until about 1:00 a. m. that I turned to my roommate, saying, “It’s getting late. We should probably go home soon.” I was surprised by my own words. Somehow in the few hours, my dorm room had turned into a home.(直到凌晨1点左右，我才转向我的室友，说：“时间不早了。我们可能该回家了。”我对自己的话感到惊讶。不知怎么的，在几个小时里，我的宿舍变成了家)”可知，作者惊讶于自己说的话是因为她开始自然地把大学宿舍称为家了。故选D。 4．细节理解题。根据最后一段“Last night, I went to visit my friends and we spent the next hour talking about that missing feeling we all shared — about our families, friends, and old lives — and soon the sadness turned to fondness. One by one our friends came in to say goodnight and the room was filled with girls, all laughing and sharing our high school experiences.(昨晚，我去拜访了我的朋友们，接下来的一个小时里，我们都在谈论我们都有的那种失落感——关于我们的家人、朋友和旧生活——很快，悲伤变成了喜爱。我们的朋友们一个接一个地进来道晚安，房间里挤满了女孩，大家都在笑着分享我们的高中经历)”及“Somehow in the few hours, my dorm room had turned into a home.(不知怎的，就在这几个小时里，我的宿舍房间已经变成了一个家)”可知，与朋友分享的感受让作者开始把大学当作家。故选B。 主题 04 人与社会 —— 社会服务与人际沟通 Passage 1 （24-25学年高一下 四川省德阳市高中·期末） In England, a zoo has come up with a really great idea. It is asking the public to donate their used Christmas trees. These trees are not for decoration but a key element in improving the lives of a diverse range of animals, including bears, elephants, and meerkats (狐獴) . The Noah’s Ark Zoo Farm in Bristol has been running this tree-donation program for five years. After the Christmas holidays, most Christmas trees end up in landfills. However, this zoo has managed to save 15,000 trees from becoming landfill waste, but the real joy is the holiday spirit these trees bring to the local animals. The zoo’s curator (园长) , Chris Wilkinson, says the trees make a significant impact on the animals’ lives. Some animals, like elephants, enjoy eating them, while other animals, like the Andean bears and rhinos, like to explore them and search for hidden food. For smaller animals, these trees provide a perfect spot for fun and exploration. “These meerkats live in groups,” explains Larry Bush, one of the farm’s wildlife biologists. “So when we add something new like these Christmas trees inside their space, they explore the trees and use all of their senses to explore this new enrichment.” “For the elephants, their habitat is full of sand, so we bury the trees in the sand and stand them up to make a whole forest for them to explore,” Wilkinson said. “They’ll eat them a bit, throw them around and search for the food we put in.” This year, they did the same for their Andean bears, small members of the species from the Andes Mountains, Instead of piling all the trees, they created a small forest for the bears to enjoy. The bears treat the trees the same way dogs treat a pile of leaves in the fall — full of fun and surprises. 1．Why does the Noah’s Ark Zoo have the used Christmas trees donated? A．To reduce waste through recycling. B．To replace natural forests in the zoo. C．To decorate the zoo for the holidays. D．To better various animals’ life quality. 2．How do meerkats react with the donated Christmas trees? A．They search for hidden treats among them. B．They show their curiosity and explore. C．They eat them as their own food. D．They avoid interaction with them. 3．What can be inferred from paragraph 5? A．The donation works for elephants. B．Volunteers plant trees for elephants. C．Elephants enjoy habitats with sand. D．Trees are a key source of elephants’ food. 4．What does “a pile of leaves in the fall” mean to bears? A．Their materials to build homes. B．Their warmth in winter. C．Their source of enjoyment. D．Their food in the fall. 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．A 4．C 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述英国布里斯托尔诺亚方舟动物园农场收集废旧圣诞树，供熊、象等动物食用、探索，提升其生活质量。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段“These trees are not for decoration but a key element in improving the lives of a diverse range of animals, including bears, elephants, and meerkats (狐獴) .(这些树不是用来装饰的，而是改善各种动物生活的关键因素，包括熊、大象和狐獴。)”可知，动物园收集废旧圣诞树的目的是提升各类动物的生活质量。故选D项。 2．细节理解题。根据第四段“So when we add something new like these Christmas trees inside their space, they explore the trees and use all of their senses to explore this new enrichment.(因此，当我们在他们的空间里添加像这些圣诞树这样的新东西时，他们会探索这些树，并用他们所有的感官来探索这种新的丰富。)”可知，狐獴对圣诞树表现出好奇心并进行探索。故选B项。 3．推理判断题。第五段提到“‘For the elephants, their habitat is full of sand, so we bury the trees in the sand and stand them up to make a whole forest for them to explore,’ Wilkinson said. ‘They’ll eat them a bit, throw them around and search for the food we put in.’(威尔金森说：‘对于大象来说，它们的栖息地到处都是沙子，所以我们把树埋在沙子里，让它们站起来，形成一片完整的森林供它们探索。他们会吃一点，扔来扔去，寻找我们放进去的食物。’)”可知，说明捐赠的圣诞树确实对大象的生活有积极作用。故选A项。 4．词句猜测题。根据第六段“This year, they did the same for their Andean bears, small members of the species from the Andes Mountains, Instead of piling all the trees, they created a small forest for the bears to enjoy. The bears treat the trees the same way dogs treat a pile of leaves in the fall— full of fun and surprises.(今年，他们也为安第斯熊做了同样的事情，安第斯熊是安第斯山脉物种的一小部分，他们没有把所有的树都堆起来，而是为熊创造了一个小森林。熊对待树就像狗对待秋天的一堆树叶一样——充满了乐趣和惊喜。)”可知，“a pile of leaves in the fall”对熊而言是“乐趣的来源”。故选C项。 Passage 2 （24-25学年高一下 四川省内江市·期末） Lindsey, a high school student from Alabama, is on her way to a promising career in paleontology (古生物学) due to an unexpected discovery on family property. For years, she had been collecting fossils (化石) on the land in Monroe County, unaware of their significant scientific value. However, her teacher, Dr. Andrew, a paleontologist himself, took an interest when she showed him her collection. “Upon examining the fossil shark teeth Lindsey presented, I quickly identified one and became eager to learn about its origin,” said Andrew. Lindsey guided her teacher through the rural area where she had unearthed various fossils, including shark teeth. Before long, they encountered an especially significant find on the grounds: a large bone from a 34-million-year-old whale! This led the pair to start the huge project of uncovering the rest of the bones. After two months of hard work, they’ve managed to find the animal’s skull (颅骨). “Assuming all the bones of the whale are present, it may require several years for us to have the entire animal back in the lab,” Andrew explained. Lindsey got a research scholarship to continue her fossil-digging alongside her instructor. Her enthusiasm for the project was at an all-time high, though she had never imagined a childhood hobby would lead her down this road. “We would go out and pick up fossils, but we never knew anyone that could tell us anything about them,” she recalled. “We just thought they were cool.” “The Research Fellows Program allows Lindsey to gain real-world experience in scientific research and even present that research at professional meetings,” Andrew said. “It’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for a high school student to stand out when applying to college and maybe even discover a new career path.” 1．Why did Andrew become interested in Lindsey’s collection? A．He had a hobby of collecting fossils. B．He recognized the value of one fossil. C．He wanted to show the collection in class. D．He needed help in his study of paleontology. 2．What major discovery did Lindsey and her teacher make? A．Plant fossils. B．A rare shark tooth. C．Dinosaur footprints. D．A skull of an ancient whale. 3．What do we know about Andrew and Lindsey’s project from paragraph 3? A．It’s disappointing. B．It’s impractical. C．It’s time-consuming. D．It’s money-saving. 4．What does Andrew want to express in the last paragraph? A．The unexpected joy of discovering fossils. B．Lindsey’s possibility of becoming a paleontologist. C．The importance of attending professional meetings. D．Lindsey’s unique opportunities for future development. 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．C 4．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述高中生Lindsey因在自家土地上意外发现化石，在老师Andrew的指导下开展挖掘项目，还获得研究奖学金及独特发展机会。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段““Upon examining the fossil shark teeth Lindsey presented, I quickly identified one and became eager to learn about its origin,” said Andrew.(安德鲁说：“在检查Lindsey展示的鲨鱼牙齿化石时，我很快认出了其中一个，并急于了解它的来源”)”可知，Andrew对Lindsey的收藏感兴趣是因为他认出了其中一块化石的价值。故选B项。 2．细节理解题。根据第三段“Before long, they encountered an especially significant find on the grounds: a large bone from a 34-million-year-old whale! This led the pair to start the huge project of uncovering the rest of the bones. After two months of hard work, they’ve managed to find the animal’s skull (颅骨).(不久，他们在这片土地上有了一个特别重大的发现：一块来自3400万年前鲸鱼的大骨头！这使得两人开始了挖掘其余骨头的大工程。经过两个月的努力，他们成功找到了这只动物的颅骨)”可知，Lindsey和她的老师的重大发现是一个古代鲸鱼的颅骨。故选D项。 3．推理判断题。根据第三段““Assuming all the bones of the whale are present, it may require several years for us to have the entire animal back in the lab,” Andrew explained.(安德鲁解释说：“假设鲸鱼的所有骨头都在，我们可能需要几年时间才能把整个动物带回实验室”）”可知，Andrew和Lindsey的项目很耗时。故选C项。 4．推理判断题。根据最后一段““The Research Fellows Program allows Lindsey to gain real-world experience in scientific research and even present that research at professional meetings,” Andrew said. “It’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for a high school student to stand out when applying to college and maybe even discover a new career path.”(安德鲁说：“研究员计划让Lindsey获得了科学研究的实际经验，甚至可以在专业会议上展示这项研究。对于一名高中生来说，这是一个一生只有一次的机会，在申请大学时脱颖而出，甚至可能发现一条新的职业道路”）”可知，Andrew在最后一段想表达Lindsey未来发展的独特机会。故选D项。 / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 专题04 阅读理解 记叙文 主题01 人与社会——历史社会与文化 Passage 1 （24-25学年高一下 四川省阿坝藏族羌族自治州·期末） The Liberty Bell is an iconic symbol of American independence located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Put to use in 1752, it first cracked when rung after arriving in Philadelphia, and was twice recast by local workmen John Pass and John Stow, whose last names appeared on the bell. Although no immediate announcement was made of the Second Continental Congress’s vote for independence, bells were rung on July 8 to mark the reading of the Declaration of Independence, with the Liberty Bell believed to be among them. The bell was adopted as a symbol by the organizations supporting freedom, which named it the “Liberty Bell” in the 1830s. In the early 19th century, the Liberty Bell acquired its first large crack, which happened when it was rung after the death of Chief Justice John Marshall in 1835. Although the bell did not ring for independence on July 4, 1776, an 1847 short story claimed that it had, leading to its fame as a symbol of American freedom. From 1885, the City of Philadelphia allowed the bell to go to different events that celebrate the love for one’s country, leading to additional cracking and souvenir hunters chipping pieces away. The bell was later moved to the National Park Service’s custody (监管) after World War II. During the Cold War and the 1960s, the Liberty Bell became a popular site for protests, which was used as a symbol of freedom. So it was moved from its original home in Independence Hall to a nearby glass pavilion (亭) on Independence Mall in 1976 and then to the larger Liberty Bell Center in 2003. Over the years, the bell has appeared on coins, stamps, and in corporate logos. To learn more about the bell’s significance, visitors can take a virtual reality tour or visit the National Park Service’s official website. 1．What is this text mainly about? A．The Liberty Bell and John Marshall. B．The reasons why the Liberty Bell cracked. C．Protests near the Liberty Bell during the Cold War. D．The history and significance of the Liberty Bell. 2．When did the Liberty Bell have the first large crack? A．During the Cold War and the 1960s. B．When it arrived in Philadelphia in 1752. C．When it rang for independence on July 4, 1776. D．After the death of Chief Justice John Marshall. 3．Why was the Liberty Bell moved to a nearby glass pavilion on Independence Mall? A．It was used as a popular site for protests. B．It would be replaced with a new one. C．It should have been accessible to visitors.

Passage 2 （24-25学年高一下 四川省宜宾·期末） When sorting through some boxes of her late mother, Mary Cooper, 81, discovered a library book 99 years past the deadline for its return. When Cooper opened the book “Home-Made Toys for Girls and Boys” by A．Neely Hall, she realized it was checked out by her grandfather, Charles Tilton, a boatwright and carpenter, in March 1926 from the Ocean County Library system in New Jersey — the year before Tilton died. The book, published in 1911, is a manual (手册) of illustrated instructions for simple toys made from wood, metal and household items. “He had a little girl, my mom. I figured he would want to build her some toys,” Cooper said. While Cooper doesn’t have any personal memories with her grandfather because he died before she was born, her mother often shared stories about Tilton. She remembers her mother saying he built her toy wooden. sailboats, which, Cooper later donated to the Bay Head Historical Society in New Jersey. When Cooper found the book, she knew it was time to return it. “I thought, I don’t have grandchildren, and my kids are getting older. Even if my children took it, I didn’t know what they’d do with it,” she said. “I figured it belongs to the library.” Walking into the Toms River branch of the Ocean County Library, Cooper did not know what to expect but hoped the library would want the book back. She never imagined the excitement it would cause, especially in light of the library system’s 100th anniversary approaching in September. Cooper was also worried the library would charge her a late fee, which staff joked would have added up to $18,000 if they still charged fines. “What an unexpected thing to happen during our 100th year when this book got returned,” Sherri Taliercio, the Ocean County Library’s spokesperson, added.“It’s finally in its home for years to come.” 1．Who borrowed the book from the library? A．Mary Cooper. B．A．Neely Hall. C．Charles Tilton. D．Sherri Taliercio. 2．What can we infer from the text about Charles Tilton? A．He enjoyed reading. B．He was a caring father. C．He was interested in old books. D．He often forgot to return books. 3．How did the library staff feel when the book was returned to the library? A．Approving and admirable. B．Curious and enthusiastic. C．Surprised and excited. D．Moved and grateful. 4．Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A．Father-made Toys for Girls and Boys B．A Century-Old Library Book Returns Home C．The Story of Mary Cooper and Her Grandfather D．The Ocean County Library Celebrates 100th Anniversary Passage 3 （24-25学年高一下 四川省南充·期末） Peking Opera has been a game changer for Swedish actor Timothy Pilotti, which led him to China and shaped his passion for cultural exchanges. The connection between the 37-year-old actor and Peking Opera began with a childhood love for films starring Jackie Chan, who studied Peking Opera when he was young. Pilotti decided to become an actor at an early age, studying at acting schools and majoring in physical theater at a Finnish university. The university required students to study a traditional theater from abroad on an exchange program during the third year, which became his first opportunity to study Peking Opera in China. “Some of my classmates went to India, for example, but my dream was to go to China — it was a no-brainer,” he says. In 2009, he and two other students arrived at the National Academy of Chinese Theatre Arts in Beijing to study Peking Opera for six months. Although he had no Chinese language skills or background in Peking Opera, teachers from the academy helped him grasp the essence (精髓) of the performing art form through strict teaching and setting high standards. In 2010 and 2014, he returned to the National Academy of Chinese Theatre Arts to continue studying Peking Opera, which he later combined with his original productions in Sweden. Traditional Chinese stories inspire him. He has created two theater pieces in recent years—Jingwei, a mythological(神话的) character who drowns and turns into a bird, determined to fill the sea; and a story about The Monkey King, the all-powerful character from the novel Journey to the West. In The Monkey King, Pilotti represents the character’s lively and naughty characteristics through Peking Opera movements, inspiring his young audience members to be themselves. The show of The Monkey King has been really successful. “My dream now is to do more cultural exchanges and maybe create a show where Chinese Peking Opera and Swedish actors perform together,” he says. 1．What led Pilotti to get interested in Peking Opera? A．His love for Jackie Chan’s films. B．His passion for traditional Chinese stories. C．His dream of becoming an actor. D．His university’s requirement for students. 2．What does the underlined phrase “a no-brainer” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A．A difficult decision. B．An obvious choice. C．A risky opinion. D．A last-minute plan. 3．How did Pilotti combine Peking Opera with his work in Sweden? A．By translating Chinese operas into Swedish. B．By teaching Peking Opera to Swedish students. C．By performing only traditional Chinese stories. D．By adding Peking Opera movements to his theater pieces. 4．What is Pilotti’s attitude towards cultural exchanges between China and Sweden? A．Indifferent. B．Positive. C．Doubtful. D．Neutral. 主题02：人与社会——文学艺术与体育 Passage 1 （24-25学年高一下 四川省广安市·期末） I wasn’t the most popular student in my first year of high school - not at all. In fact, I felt awkward. I didn’t care about fashion, liked reading more than sports, and had trouble talking to boys. Because of this, my first year of high school was hard. I had no close friends. I usually stayed alone and read books a lot. That’s why I was so surprised when Ashley and I became friends the summer before my second year. Ashley was very different from me. She was outgoing and loved fashion. She listened to bands I never heard of and was good at art. She was popular, and I remembered she had always been like that. These were things I knew nothing about. We had been in the same class before, but we never talked much. I was always nervous around her. During summer school, we took classes to graduate early. The teacher paired us for a project. At first, Ashley seemed unwilling to work with me. But I think she agreed because none of her cool friends were in the class. We met at the library for the project and hit it off quickly. Ashley did most of the talking. We sat together for the rest of the summer, and after classes ended, we kept hanging out. We went shopping, listened to music, watched movies, and went to the beach. It was everything a great summer with a new friend should be. 1．What is the text mainly about? A．The author’s lonely first year of high school. B．How Ashley changed the author’s life. C．How the author and Ashley became friends.

C．Ashley admired the author. D．They were close competitors. 4．What does the phrase “hit it off” in paragraph 3 mean? A．Argued a lot. B．Worked efficiently. C．Got along well immediately. D．Found many differences. Passage 2 （24-25学年高一下 四川省绵阳市·期末） When 14-year-old Clara opened the dusty box in her grandmother’s room, a cracked violin lay inside. Two strings were missing, and the wood had faded, but it still looked elegant. Though her parents often said, “Focus on math and science, not daydreams,” she felt a connection to the instrument. Each night after homework, she secretly cleaned it with a piece of cloth. At school, Clara borrowed library books on violin repair. She learned to replace strings using spare parts from broken guitars. When she needed better tools, she offered to do the cleaning at Mr. Thompson’s music shop every Tuesday. Finally, the violin came back to life. The kind owner taught her how to maintain the violin and how to play it. For months, her fingertips hardened from pressing the strings. Her progress was slow but continuous. Still, she didn’t tell her parents about her secret practice. The turning point came on a rainy April evening. Hearing a beautiful folk tune coming out of her room repeatedly, her mother stopped outside her door. “Why not join the community concert?” she suggested hesitantly. Clara’s heart raced — she got support. On the performance day, her father joked backstage, “Play loud enough for Grandma to hear,” hiding his nerves. Clara’s performance of Amazing Grace began shakily, but as memories of her restoration efforts and Mr. Thompson’s patience surfaced, she became more confident and played the tune more skillfully. Midway, she noticed her grandmother wiping tears, and her parents holding hands. The applause sounded like summer thunder. Now, the repaired violin has above Clara’s desk. Her parents still remind her to study, but they also save concert notices from newspapers. “Maybe music and math aren’t so different.” her father joked recently. “Both need practice and heart.” 1．Why did Clara hide her violin practice at first? A．She feared damaging the instrument. B．She lacked proper training resources. C．Her parents valued study over music. D．Her grandmother disliked loud sounds. 2．When did Clara’s family begin to change their attitude? A．After she replaced the strings. B．After her dad joked backstage. C．After her mom heard her practice. D．After she performed in the concert. 3．What did the audience think of Clara’s performance? A．Shaky. B．Impressive. C．Sad. D．Imaginative. 4．What does the story mainly tell us? A．Music wins. B．Talent wins. C．Memory lasts. D．Effort counts. Passage 3 （24-25学年高一下 四川省成都市树德中学·期末） It was the final race of the season, the 800 meters, and my legs felt like lead. The hot sun beat down on the track, and the roar of the crowd seemed distant. I had trained hard all summer, but now, facing my toughest competitor, Sarah Chen, doubt crept in. She always seemed to have an extra burst of speed at the end. The starting gun fired. We surged forward, a pack of brightly colored jerseys. The first lap felt surprisingly smooth, but as we rounded the curve into the second lap, the familiar burn started in my lungs. Sarah pulled slightly ahead. “Just keep her in sight,” I told myself, remembering Coach’s words: “Run your own race.” With 200 meters to go, the gap between Sarah and me widened. My legs screamed to slow down, and negative thoughts flooded my mind: “You can’t catch her. Second place is okay.” I glanced at the stands and saw my teammates waving wildly, their faces full of encouragement. Then, Coach’s voice cut through the noise: “Kick NOW, Mia! Everything you’ve got!” Something clicked. It wasn’t just about winning against Sarah anymore; it was about pushing myself to my absolute limit, about honoring all those hours of practice. I dug deep, deeper than I ever had before. My arms pumped harder, my stride lengthened, and I focused solely on the finish line ribbon. The pain was intense, but it was pushed aside by sheer determination. The last few meters were a blur. I threw myself forward. As I crossed the line, breathless and wobbly, I had no idea who had won. Then I heard the announcement: “First place ... Mia Johnson!” A wave of disbelief and pure joy washed over me. Sarah finished a split-second later, offering a tired but genuine smile and a handshake. “Great kick,” she said, breathing heavily. That moment of mutual respect meant almost as much as the medal.

When I got angry, I’d yell at anyone nearby, not caring who they were or what they were doing. Then they would make fun of me. Eventually, many people around me disliked me because of this. They started avoiding me. Even though I felt like I needed to improve myself, I didn’t know how. My father was patient with me and one day he gave me a basket full of nails (钉子) and a hammer (铁锤). Every time I got angry, he advised me to avoid scolding (责骂) the people involved and hammer a nail into the wooden fence behind the house until I calmed down. The first day, I hammered about 50 nails into the fence. As the days passed, I learned to control my hurtful speech in front of those who made me angry. Only when I got angry should I go and hammer the nails immediately! Eventually, before I could take the basket and hammer and go to the fence, my anger cooled and I started hammering nails into the fence less. In a few days, I no longer felt the need to hammer nails into the fence. I went to my father and told him the details. Although he was happy inside, he didn’t show it. He gave me a nail puller and asked me to pull out the nails I had hammered into the fence one by one. It took me a whole day to pull them all out. After pulling out all the nails, my father and I went to see the fence. My father showed me the scars where the nails had been pulled out from the fence and said, “When you get angry, you lose your mind and say things like this nail. Even if you apologize for speaking as if you were pulling out a nail, the wound left by those words is just as hard to heal as the scar from this nail.” I too understood the concept well, changed, grew up to respect my village, and achieved many successes in life. 1．What did the boy do when he got angry at the beginning? A．He behaved rudely to people around. B．He apologized to the people he had hurt. C．He avoided people who made him angry. D．He immediately hammered nails into the fence. 2．Why did the boy’s father give him nails and a hammer? A．To help him control his anger. B．To punish him for his bad behavior. C．To teach him how to repair the fence. D．To make him stronger by hammering nails. 3．How did the father react when the boy stopped hammering nails? A．He apologized to the boy. B．He showed his inner happiness. C．He asked the boy to remove the nails. D．He told the boy to repair the damaged fence. 4．Which best summarizes the main lesson of this story? A．Actions speak louder than words. B．Time heals all wounds. C．Practice makes perfect. D．What’s done cannot be undone. Passage 2 （24-25学年高一下 四川省仁寿县校联考·期末） Aeron McQuillin, 18, Bailey Campbell, 17, and Billy Tarbett, 15, were on their way to a supermarket in Fonthill, Ontario, when they spotted a woman on the side of the road with smoke coming out of her car. They quickly found the problem and determined the car was too dangerous to drive. The driver couldn’t afford a tow truck (拖车). So, Billy suggested that they push the car. The woman lives more than five miles away. Dan Morrison, who also stopped to help, told CNN the driver’s jaw dropped on hearing the teens’ offer. Bailey told CNN they just wouldn’t want to be stuck like that, so they insisted. The three bought bottles of water and a speaker so they could “jam out” and started their journey. Morrison drove behind them with his hazard lights (双闪灯) on for safety. Baily said they faced several problems. The first was a big hill 300 yards from the start. Halfway through, they took a break and the battery died. They had to charge it just to get back into neutral (空挡位置). After more than two and a half hours of pushing, they finally delivered the car back home. Bailey described the motorist as both thankful and amazed. They exchanged hugs, and everyone went home for some much-needed rest. The teens never got the woman’s full name. Morrison took a couple of pictures of the teens, hoping to turn them into hometown heroes on social media. His Facebook post went viral, with positive comments coming in from as far away as Australia. 1．What did the three teens do on their way to the supermarket? A．They saved an injured driver. B．They helped repair a damaged car. C．They witnessed a car crash accident. D．They pushed a car to its owner’s home. 2．How might the female driver have felt about the teens’ offer? A．Surprised.

Passage 3 （24-25学年高一下 四川省自贡市·期末） When Paul Cotter’s father, Richard, was 52, he was fired from a large printing company after working there for over 30 years. Before, Richard Cotter was known for his sharp mind. Now, he found it too difficult to deal with the slightest bit of pressure. The next few years, he lost job from job. Everyone assumed it was a crisis of confidence. No one suspected the underlying reason: cognitive decline due to early-onset Alzheimer’s disease. Then, when Richard Cotter was 58, he was formally diagnosed (诊断) with Alzheimer’s. Paul Cotter recalls that his father was horrified by the diagnosis. “But I imagine he also felt some sense of relief,” Paul Cotter said. “Finally, there was an explanation for his decline. And in spite of it all, he still wanted to keep working.” That’s where Paul Cotter’s unsung hero stepped in. It was the Hidden Brain team. When Cotter’s father applied for a job there, he disclosed (透露) his diagnosis and the limitations that came with it. But still the firm offered him the position — handling small tasks like making copies. “They gave him a paycheck, which made him feel needed and valued,” Cotter said. “But more than just a job, they gave him respect, dignity and a sense of purpose at a time when his life was falling apart.” The disease continued to progress. Eventually, his father had difficulty keeping his balance, and one day, he fell off a small stepladder. It was clear that it was no longer safe for him to continue working. The company let Cotter’s parents know that with deep regret, it would have to let his father go. On his father’s final day on the job, his colleagues threw him a goodbye party to thank him for his service. “What a beautiful, remarkable gesture that was,” Cotter said. Cotter’s three brothers and sister still talk about the company’s care for their father. They wish they could tell their father’s colleagues how much that generosity has meant to their family, all these years later. 1．What do we know about Richard from paragraph 1? A．He used to be considered intelligent. B．He regained confidence in job-hunting. C．He needed outside assistance to survive. D．He was the oldest worker at the printing company. 2．Which words best describe Richard after his formal diagnosis? A．Puzzled but energetic. B．Confident and ambitious. C．Bored and annoyed. D．Scared but relieved. 3．How did the Hidden Brain help Richard? A．By assigning manageable tasks. B．By offering a well-paid position. C．By providing post-retirement instructions. D．By working out a new cure for Alzheimer’s. 4．What can we say about the impact of the Hidden Brain on Cotter’s family? A．Predictable. B．Short-lived. C．Far-reaching. D．Insignificant. 主题 04 人与社会 —— 社会服务与人际沟通 Passage 1 （24-25学年高一下 四川省广安市·期末） It all started on a stoop (门廊). I picked up a book and started reading to the neighborhood kids. When I finished reading, the kids didn’t want story time to stop. So I said, “You guys can read a book at home.” “We don’t have any books at home.” they responded. It was an unpleasant reminder that there are children who don’t have a single book at home. As a public librarian, I quickly realized that the kids that I saw coming into the library weren’t the same ones I was reading to out on my front stoop. I learned about something called book deserts. A book desert is an area or a community with limited access to books and reading materials. I was aware that I wasn’t going to meet my neighbors who need it most inside library’s walls. So I quit my job and took to the streets, becoming a street librarian who is doing work to increase literary access outside of traditional settings. Book deserts are often found in economically disadvantaged areas, where bookstores and libraries are not enough. Lower-income neighbors may lack the resources to buy books from the bookstore or pay library fines. Residents may be working multiple jobs or facing hardships that make a trip to the library an additional stress. Requirement of identification, fines and fees, all while seemingly normal, can become difficult for families facing hardships. Therefore, I’m making books appear in everyday places in extraordinary ways. I fix free public book vending machines (自助售书机), host street-corner story times, and pop up on the block with free bookstores, so kids who don’t have McDonald’s money don’t have to worry about having book-fair money. You’ll find me delivering books to your front stoop. I have delivered 5,000 books to children living in book deserts. I believe everyone is a reader. They just haven’t found the right book yet. And that’s where librarians step in. We must meet them where they are and guide them along that journey. 1．What inspired the author to become a street librarian? A．The kids’ lack of books at home. B．The kids’ request for more stories. C．Her love for reading books on stoops. D．Her curiosity for seeking book deserts. 2．What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A．The causes of book deserts. B．The struggles of a street librarian. C．The challenges of working more jobs. D．The importance of traditional libraries. 3．How does the author help kids in book deserts? A．By lowering book prices. B．By donating money to them. C．By inviting them to schools. D．By providing free books. 4．What can we conclude from the text? A．Street libraries will replace public ones. B．Librarians should reach out to readers. C．Libraries should maintain traditional rules. D．Book deserts exist even in rich areas. Passage 2 （24-25学年高一下 四川省凉山州·期末） One of my most amazing experiences was spending a night in the middle of the Amazon rainforest. Our guide was Aparecida, a woman who was brought up in the middle of the dense rainforest. Since there are no trails, we had to cut our way through the jungle searching for a good place to spend the night. We followed her. As she was cutting the branches and other obstacles, it was like being in an adventurous movie. After a couple of hours, we found a big tree which seemed ideal to attach the hammocks (吊床) to. We cleared the ground around and hang up our hammocks. In the raining season, we had to prepare for unexpected showers. We also wanted to sleep under the sky, so we built a small shelter in case it rained. When our fire was out, complete darkness came upon us, and this was the moment when the jungle around woke up. We started to hear louder and louder noise of crickets, small birds and monkeys. Many times we woke up during the night, when small branches or leaves fell into our hammocks. Sometimes the noise was really strong, especially when the howler monkeys were roaring in the distance. We could not sleep deeply, but we enjoyed listening to the music of the rainforest. It was an unbelievable experience. We got up at 4 am to see the sunrise. Aparecida took us to a small trail where we could get familiar with different herbs and unusual jungle fruits. On the way out of the jungle, we saw a deer crossing the road. Later, we took a boat to a place where two rivers, the Amazon and Tapajos, join each other. In the short two-hour boat trip, we saw loads of animals: sloths, different parrots, colorful birds and iguanas. We enjoyed especially our encounter with the sloths, which move about so slowly on top of the trees, and when they see you they try to hide, but they do it so slowly that it makes you smile. 1．Why did Aparecida cut the things in the jungle? A．To prepare for making a movie. B．To create a trail through the rainforest. C．To find a place for spending the night. D．To shelter from a heavy rain. 2．What happened when the fire was out? A．They had a sound sleep. B．They escaped the rain. C．The howler monkeys approached. D．The jungle became lively. 3．What did they find particularly enjoyable during the boat trip? A．Encountering sloths in the trees. B．Seeing various parrots flying around. C．Watching the tropical sunrise. D．Learning about jungle herbs and fruits. 4．Which of the following can be the best title for the passage? A．An Enthusiastic Guide in the Amazon Rainforest B．An Unforgettable Adventure in the Amazon Rainforest C．Encountering Animals in the Amazon Rainforest D．Appreciating Sounds in the Amazon Rainforest 主题01 人与社会——历史社会与文化 Passage 1 （24-25学年高一下 四川省仁寿县校联考·期末） Two Canadian teenagers, Joshua Wentges-Faiz and Leo Gunawardena, have been taking on a series of remarkable challenges. Their most recent feat(壮举) involved following the Lake Ontario coastline for 73 kilometers, walking from Toronto to Hamilton, Canada, in about 18 hours. “We like to challenge ourselves physically and mentally. We like to overcome challenges like these. And we feel as though going on a long walk is kind of just the purest form of challenge that you can have,” Gunawardena told CBC News. With very little preparation, the two 16-year-olds began their journey at 6 am, starting in darkness and finishing before midnight. They took several breaks, stopping at benches with nice views along the way. On their walk, one of the dazzling sights they encountered was an abandoned cargo ship. “You’d be surprised by the amount of things that you don’t see when you’re driving and that you will see when you’re taking your time walking,” said Gunawardena. However, the journey was not only a physical trial (考验) but also a significant mental challenge. There were moments of loneliness for the pair, requiring them to support each other along the way. Around 70 km into the walk, they came across a person on a bridge who appeared to be experiencing a mental health crisis. “I wasn’t sure what was going to happen ... me and Leo, we tried to convince(说服) him out of it and ended up calling the police, and the situation was deescalated(缓和) and everyone was OK,” Wentges-Faiz told CBC News. The walk is now long over but Wentges-Faiz and Gunawardena are not done challenging themselves, with plans to embark on(开始) a two-day 100 km walk in the near future. 1．What was the main purpose of Joshua and Leo’s walk along the Lake Ontario coastline? A．To create a travel guide. B．To compete in a walking contest. C．To push their body and mind limits. D．To measure the time to cover the length. 2．What unexpected sight did the teenagers observe during their walk? A．Midnight stars. B．A deserted ship. C．A beautiful sunset. D．Breathtaking beaches. 3．What can be inferred about Joshua and Leo’s response to the mental health crisis? A．They made wrong decisions. B．They failed in the mental trail. C．They are two inexperienced hikers. D．They are good at handling emergencies. 4．Where is the passage most likely from? A．A travel guide. B．A newspaper. C．A fantasy novel. D．A history textbook. Passage 2 （24-25学年高一下 四川省成都市蓉城联盟·期末） Ever since she was a young girl, Yao Jianping, a well-known artist from Suzhou, East China’s Jiangsu Province, has been creating Suzhou Embroidery (刺绣), one of the oldest embroidery techniques in the world and the most representative type of Chinese embroidery. Born to a Suzhou Embroidery family, Yao has a pair of skillful hands. She began to learn embroidery from her mother when she was 7 or 8 years old. By the age of 17, she focused solely on improving her skills at Suzhou Embroidery. It takes a moment to discover beauty, but it takes a long time to create beauty. After years of studying, she finally transformed her art from the level of “looking lifelike” to “being alive”. All she needs are a needle and a few silk threads. Then with her magical hands, anything can happen. Her traditional techniques and innovative skills have won her the title “Master of Folk Arts and Crafts” from UNESCO. With a simple needle moving up and down on a piece of cloth, a delicate flower begins to take shape under her hands. Watching Yao Jianping doing embroidery is just like watching a ballet performance of fingers. It is both elegant and skillful. Yao uses this millennia-old art to depict (描绘) the age of today. She not only produced a series of works representing the highest level of contemporary Suzhou Embroidery but also managed to get the fine art to reach more ordinary people. Yao has launched new products with Suzhou Embroidery elements, including Chinese qipao dresses. She has become better known around the world in the past few years, since her works began being presented as national gifts to world leaders. In 2015, British Queen Elizabeth II received a fine piece of Suzhou Embroidery as a gift. 1．How did Yao improve her skills? A．By discovering beauty in life. B．By years of constant studying. C．By seeking help from her mother. D．By changing the traditional techniuqes. 2．Why does the writer mention ballet performance in paragraph 2? A．To present Yao’s excellent embroidering skills. B．To explain why embroidery works are so fascinating. C．To introduce how Yao is inspired by other forms of arts. D．To demonstrate the similarity between dancing and embroidering. 3．What can be inferred from paragraph 4? A．There are few traditional elements in Yao’s works. B．It’s difficult for average people to learn about fine arts. C．Yao tries to spread Chinese culture through embroidery.

D．Creative and hard-working. Passage 3 （24-25学年高一下 四川省眉山市·期末） The ‘alalā, a unique kind of crow native only to Hawaii, has a deep cultural significance for native Hawaiians. These intelligent and talkative birds are known for their different calls. However, decades ago, they faced the cruel reality of dying out in the wild. In the 1970s, with no other options left, they were taken into captivity (圈养) as an important measure to save the species. Unfortunately, by 2002, they completely disappeared from the wild. Thankfully, a special breeding program managed to turn things around to some degree. The population has now grown to over 100 birds. But the journey to reintroduce them to their natural habitat has been tough. In 2016, a group of ‘alalā was released on Hawai’s Big Island. Aware of the presence of their natural predator (捕食动物), a hawk known as the ‘io, wildlife protectors provided the birds with predator-training. Despite these efforts, the hawks still managed to hunt the released crows, and recaptured the remaining birds. Now, a new and promising effort is being made. Five one-year-old ‘alalā have been set free in a forest on Maui, an area free from hawks. Younger crows, being more adaptable, are expected to have a better chance of survival. In the forest, the birds are placed in a safe, netted enclosure (围场). Scientists are monitoring their every move closely, and they are also provided with additional food because they haven’t yet had the ability to find food independently. For the ‘alalā, after so many years in captivity, there is no clear path for fully returning them to the wild. Hanna Mounce, the manager of the Maui Forest Bird Recovery Project, emphasizes that every small achievement counts in the fight to protect Hawaii’s precious wildlife. Although the ‘alalā doesn’t fully adapt to the wild just yet, the fact that they have been released and are currently doing well is unbelievably encouraging and marks a significant milestone in protection efforts. 1．What do we know about the ‘alalā from the first paragraph? A．They are fit to live in groups. B．They are an endangered species. C．They are Hawaiians’ favorites. D．They are good at communication. 2．What are scientists doing about the five one-year-old ‘alalā now? A．Getting close to them slowly. B．Adjusting their food structure. C．Teaching them different living skills. D．Putting them in a forest under protection. 3．What is Hanna Mounce’s attitude towards the ‘alalā protection efforts? A．Unclear. B．Optimistic C．Worried. D．Critical. 4．What can be a suitable title for the text? A．’Alalā: A Unique Bird Found B．Maui: A Dream Place for Birds C．Project: Saving Precious Wildlife D．Journey: From Captivity to the Wild 主题02：人与社会——文学艺术与体育 Passage 1 （24-25学年高一下 四川省眉山县级学校联考·期末） David Rush broke his 181st record, giving him a new kind of record — the record for the most Guinness World Records held at the same time. Rush, who’s 40, began working to set world records to show how important it is to keep doing our best and push our own limits, even when things are hard. In 2015, Rush decided to set a record by juggling (玩杂耍) with his eyes covered. After practicing for several weeks, Rush managed to juggle blindfolded for 6 minutes and 34 seconds. That was Rush’s first Guinness World Record. He even broke this record twice in a row (连续). Rush enjoys the hard work of training to break records, during which he finds it helps him stay in shape, and that it’s fun to try new things. Many of the records Rush sets are unusual. He’s balanced 101 rolls of toilet paper on his head. He’s caught 59 marshmallows (棉花软糖) in his mouth in one minute. Rush’s family supports him in his efforts. His three children enjoy practicing with him. In 2021, his wife allowed Rush to wrap (用……包裹) her in plastic wrap to set a new record. Most of Rush’s records get set at his home, with volunteers helping out, carefully recording the event. But Rush’s main job is giving encouraging speeches at businesses and schools. Technology is very important in today’s world, and that makes him a big fan of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) in education. He wants students to believe that even if they struggle with science or math, they can still become an engineer or anything they want to become. In all, Rush has broken over 300 Guinness World Records, but many of these records have been broken again. He visited the main office of Guinness World Records in London, England.

Passage 2 （24-25学年高一下 四川省仁寿县校联考·期末） Each year people are crazy about different ceremonies. Many graduation ceremonies look special and different. But for Melody, it looked so unique because of the classmate who graduated alongside her — her grandmother, 75-year-old Pat Ormond. They both went to the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga (UTC) and graduated together. Pat took her first college class 42 years ago. After one semester, she dropped out to move to Chattanooga, where she spent the next several decades working as an accountant and raising a family. While she did take an occasional class at UTC, she says her family continued to encourage her to go back to finish her degree, especially after she retired. She agreed when her granddaughter decided to move to study psychology at UTC after a year at Berea College. They both entered UTC with enough college credits to make graduating together a possibility. Pat and Melody graduated on November 20 as part of UTC’s 2020 class. The achievement has also made Pat somewhat of a celebrity. “We are so proud to have graduates like Melody and her grandmother, Pat Ormond, in the UTC class of 2020,” said Steven, UTC Chancellor. “Together, they personify the determination, commitment and love for lifelong learning we encourage in every UTC graduate.” Pat hopes that she can be an example to other non-traditional college students who want to get their degrees. “Learning never stops,” Pat said. “That’s something that my father taught me when I was young. No matter what you do, learning never stops.” Pat isn’t planning to stop anytime soon. She’s already working on another degree-a bachelor’s degree in history. Meanwhile, her granddaughter, who is hunting jobs, is interested in getting a master’s degree in clinical psychology so she can become a lawyer. But she says she’s in no rush. Her nanna has taught her that she has plenty of time. 1．Why was Melody’s graduation ceremony so special? A．Because her grandmother graduated alongside her. B．Because her grandmother was 75 years old.

D．It’s never too late to learn. Passage 3 （24-25学年高一下 四川省成都市成华区·期末） At 15, I unwillingly joined a mountain-climbing camp in the Rockies. My fear of heights made me freeze, but my parents insisted it would “build character.” On the first morning, our instructor, Sarah, gathered us at the base. “This climb isn’t about speed or strength,” she said. “It’s about listening—to your body, the mountain, and your teammates.” I rolled my eyes, convinced that reaching the summit was the only measure of success. My teammate Jake, a confident athlete, rushed ahead, laughing at my cautious pace. “You’re wasting time!” he shouted. By midday, however, his confidence broke. Jake lay down suddenly on a narrow ledge, trembling from thirst and muscle pain. Meanwhile, I adjusted my equipment, drank a little water every 15 minutes, and studied the rock formations. When storm clouds darkened the sky, panic struck me. Sarah’s voice was repeated in my mind: “Control what you can. Let go of what you can’t.” The final stretch tested everyone. Jake fell behind, humbled and silent. I focused on three-step rhythms: plant, pull, and breathe. At the summit, wind beat my face as I gazed at the valley below. Jake approached, voice shaky. “I wanted to prove I was the best,” he admitted. “But I forgot to respect the mountain.” That moment reshaped my understanding of growth—it wasn’t about conquering (征服) peaks but embracing humility and patience. Years later, as a guide, I teach philosophy at a high school. One student recently asked, “What if I fail?” I smiled. “Failure isn’t falling, it’s refusing to learn why you fell.” Mountains mirror life’s struggles: unpredictable, demanding, yet transformative (能使人改变的). Every struggle and setback carves resilience (适应力) into our stories. The true summit isn’t a physical place—it’s the wisdom we carry back to the world below. 1．What did the author’s teammate, Jake, realize at the summit? A．He should have climbed faster. B．He needed to respect the mountain. C．The climb was about proving his strength. D．He should not have drunk water every 15 minutes. 2．What did the instructor, Sarah, emphasize as the key to the climb? A．Speed and strength. B．Control what you can. C．Competing with other climbers. D．Reaching the summit at all costs. 3．What can be inferred about the author’s attitude towards failure after the mountain-climbing experience? A．Failure is an opportunity for learning and growth. B．Failure is determined by not reaching the summit. C．Failure is a sign of weakness and should be avoided. D．Failure is a result of not being physically strong enough. 4．What lesson did the narrator learn from the mountain-climbing experience? A．The importance of speed and competition. B．The significance of physical strength. C．The value of humility and patience. D．The need to conquer every peak. 主题 03 人与自我 —— 做人与做事 Passage 1 （24-25学年高一下 四川省眉山市东坡区·期末） Two years ago, my 11-year-old son sat me down for a talk. “Mom, it’s time,” he said. “Hear me out: It’s time we got actual TV. And you need an iPhone.” This funny conversation two years ago marked a shift in our relationship. Perhaps for the first time, I began to really listen to my son’s opinion about our home technology. Since his reasoning was sound and his suggestions within budget, I took his advice and was pleasantly surprised with the results. I’d known for a while that my son understands technology better than I do. On airplanes, he grabbed my phone to put it in airplane mode. He wired the speakers in our house. After something was stolen from our front yard, he picked out, set up, and now monitors our security camera. When my computer died, I took him shopping with me. As a teenager now, he has a busy social life, with skateboarding, basketball, and online gaming with his friends. I see our time together decreasing and our shared interests shrinking. That’s why I jumped at the chance when a friend mentioned writing technology reviews. I’m a writer, but I’d need a partner who has more tech knowledge than me. When I presented the idea to my teen, he immediately accepted. It’s changed our relationship in surprising ways. Where he used to get annoyed quickly at my technical ignorance, he’s learned to be more patient and explain things to me in a way that I can convey to an unknowing audience. The parent-child dynamic is not only changed; it’s even slightly reversed (颠倒). He’s leading me. I’m asking him for help and advice. My son has risen to the occasion. He’s taking it seriously, and to watch him mature in this way is an honor. As someone who’s not much of a reader, he now searches instruction manuals. Without any prompting, he’s even emailed and called, yes, made an actual phone call to customer service or tech support when sample products weren’t working as expected. I never imagined being a tech reviewer, but it’s proved to be a valuable way to learn from, work with and enjoy time with my teen. 1．What did the writer think of her son’s advice?

Passage 2 （24-25学年高一下 四川省雅安市·期末） It’s the last year of high school, and commonly young minds are turning their attention to the thought of leaving home. This seems a natural progression: parents have children and raise children; children graduate from high school and flee far from parents, returning on weekends to eat home-cooked meals. But what happens when a child loses home right before leaving? My family has lived in my home since I was two years old. Seventeen years later, as I got ready to leave for university, my parents decided that it was time to move. And naturally, I panicked. This was the place I used to run around with friends; where I got sunburned, chasing ants with sidewalk chalk; where I would sit for hours staring out, making up songs about the passersby. If we were to move, the new house wouldn’t be my home at all, just a strange, new place. After all, I’d be moving out to go to university. But something still wasn’t quite right. And then it hit me: this is what the move was really about. I wasn’t concerned about losing my childhood bedroom. What was bothering me was that I’d soon be completely responsible for myself. When I do go to university, I’ll go without a safe place to come home to. Of course I’ll have my family’s love and support, but I’ll never be able to go home again. As graduating high-school students, we’re all in love with the idea of going away and having wild adventures if we always have someplace to return to. Leaving the family home behind is really just growing up without a safety net. The move from one place in life to another is an important change. Because it’s true, you can never go home. Not really, however. Once you’ve had an adventure or two, you will still have a nice place to come back to for a nice visit, which is such a blessing. 1．How does the writer start the passage? A．By giving an answer to the question. B．By talking about adults’ experiences. C．By presenting a common phenomenon. D．By scolding the thought of leaving home. 2．What was the real reason behind the writer’s unwillingness to move? A．The responsibility of growing up. B．The strangeness of the new house. C．The loss of the childhood pleasure. D．The long years spent in the old home. 3．According to the last paragraph, how does the writer feel about returning home? A．Grateful. B．Adventurous. C．Depressed. D．Panicked. 4．What message does the passage convey? A．Parents’ love lights the path of life. B．Grow up and take on responsibilities. C．Leave home and follow your dreams. D．The outer world is full of adventures. Passage 3 （24-25学年高一下 四川省成都石室中学·期末） “At least you’ll be close to home!” That phrase ran through the weeks before my move to my college. I took comfort in knowing that home was close by if I needed it. The night before the move, I spoke with a sophomore (大学二年级) friend of mine who was moving back the next morning. I asked if he was sad to be leaving home and his response sparked in me an internal debate. “It was nice to be back but honestly, I’ve come to think of the college as my home.” Up until that moment, the move to college seemed like an extended version of summer camp. School wasn’t a home; it was a place for me to explore when I was away from home, right? As I packed my things, I really started thinking about the concept of home, and I couldn’t help but wonder: would I ever consider college my own home? The next day, once my bags were unpacked and my parents were gone, I took a moment to look around my dorm. It was absolutely nothing like my room: no bunnies, no blue curtains and no queen-sized bed. Despite the fun I was having and things I was learning in the following Welcome Week, I couldn’t bring myself to call it home. I longed for my bunnies. I even wanted my mom’s calls. “There’s no place like home.” I said to myself. Last night, I went to visit my friends and we spent the next hour talking about that missing feeling we all shared — about our families, friends, and old lives — and soon the sadness turned to fondness. One by one our friends came in to say goodnight and the room was filled with girls, all laughing and sharing our high school experiences. It wasn’t until about 1:00 a. m. that I turned to my roommate, saying, “It’s getting late. We should probably go home soon.” I was surprised by my own words. Somehow in the few hours, my dorm room had turned into a home. 1．How did the author react to her sophomore friend’s response at first? A．She was puzzled by his response B．She was completely certain about it. C．She thought he was telling a lie. D．She quite agreed with her friend. 2．What does the underlined word “bunnies” in paragraph 3 suggest? A．College lacked a harmonious atmosphere. B．Pet-keeping was not allowed in college dorm. C．She didn’t get used to her college dorm life then. D．College should prepare bunnies for new students. 3．Why was the author surprised by her own words at the end of the passage? A．Because it was rude to say that when everyone was happy. B．Because there were so many girls gathering in the dorm. C．Because she lost a good chance to forget homesickness D．Because she began to call her college home naturally. 4．What made the author begin to take college as home? A．Decorating her dorm like a home. B．Friends’ shared feelings. C．Her previous family and friends. D．Comforts from other girls. 主题 04 人与社会 —— 社会服务与人际沟通 Passage 1 （24-25学年高一下 四川省德阳市高中·期末） In England, a zoo has come up with a really great idea. It is asking the public to donate their used Christmas trees. These trees are not for decoration but a key element in improving the lives of a diverse range of animals, including bears, elephants, and meerkats (狐獴) . The Noah’s Ark Zoo Farm in Bristol has been running this tree-donation program for five years. After the Christmas holidays, most Christmas trees end up in landfills. However, this zoo has managed to save 15,000 trees from becoming landfill waste, but the real joy is the holiday spirit these trees bring to the local animals. The zoo’s curator (园长) , Chris Wilkinson, says the trees make a significant impact on the animals’ lives. Some animals, like elephants, enjoy eating them, while other animals, like the Andean bears and rhinos, like to explore them and search for hidden food. For smaller animals, these trees provide a perfect spot for fun and exploration. “These meerkats live in groups,” explains Larry Bush, one of the farm’s wildlife biologists. “So when we add something new like these Christmas trees inside their space, they explore the trees and use all of their senses to explore this new enrichment.” “For the elephants, their habitat is full of sand, so we bury the trees in the sand and stand them up to make a whole forest for them to explore,” Wilkinson said. “They’ll eat them a bit, throw them around and search for the food we put in.” This year, they did the same for their Andean bears, small members of the species from the Andes Mountains, Instead of piling all the trees, they created a small forest for the bears to enjoy. The bears treat the trees the same way dogs treat a pile of leaves in the fall — full of fun and surprises. 1．Why does the Noah’s Ark Zoo have the used Christmas trees donated? A．To reduce waste through recycling. B．To replace natural forests in the zoo. C．To decorate the zoo for the holidays. D．To better various animals’ life quality. 2．How do meerkats react with the donated Christmas trees? A．They search for hidden treats among them. B．They show their curiosity and explore. C．They eat them as their own food. D．They avoid interaction with them. 3．What can be inferred from paragraph 5? A．The donation works for elephants. B．Volunteers plant trees for elephants. C．Elephants enjoy habitats with sand. D．Trees are a key source of elephants’ food. 4．What does “a pile of leaves in the fall” mean to bears? A．Their materials to build homes. B．Their warmth in winter. C．Their source of enjoyment. D．Their food in the fall. Passage 2 （24-25学年高一下 四川省内江市·期末） Lindsey, a high school student from Alabama, is on her way to a promising career in paleontology (古生物学) due to an unexpected discovery on family property. For years, she had been collecting fossils (化石) on the land in Monroe County, unaware of their significant scientific value. However, her teacher, Dr. Andrew, a paleontologist himself, took an interest when she showed him her collection. “Upon examining the fossil shark teeth Lindsey presented, I quickly identified one and became eager to learn about its origin,” said Andrew. Lindsey guided her teacher through the rural area where she had unearthed various fossils, including shark teeth. Before long, they encountered an especially significant find on the grounds: a large bone from a 34-million-year-old whale! This led the pair to start the huge project of uncovering the rest of the bones. After two months of hard work, they’ve managed to find the animal’s skull (颅骨). “Assuming all the bones of the whale are present, it may require several years for us to have the entire animal back in the lab,” Andrew explained. Lindsey got a research scholarship to continue her fossil-digging alongside her instructor. Her enthusiasm for the project was at an all-time high, though she had never imagined a childhood hobby would lead her down this road. “We would go out and pick up fossils, but we never knew anyone that could tell us anything about them,” she recalled. “We just thought they were cool.” “The Research Fellows Program allows Lindsey to gain real-world experience in scientific research and even present that research at professional meetings,” Andrew said. “It’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for a high school student to stand out when applying to college and maybe even discover a new career path.” 1．Why did Andrew become interested in Lindsey’s collection? A．He had a hobby of collecting fossils. B．He recognized the value of one fossil. C．He wanted to show the collection in class. D．He needed help in his study of paleontology. 2．What major discovery did Lindsey and her teacher make? A．Plant fossils. B．A rare shark tooth. C．Dinosaur footprints. D．A skull of an ancient whale. 3．What do we know about Andrew and Lindsey’s project from paragraph 3? A．It’s disappointing. B．It’s impractical. C．It’s time-consuming. D．It’s money-saving. 4．What does Andrew want to express in the last paragraph? A．The unexpected joy of discovering fossils. B．Lindsey’s possibility of becoming a paleontologist. C．The importance of attending professional meetings. D．Lindsey’s unique opportunities for future development. / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 专题04 阅读理解 记叙文 答案版 主题01 人与社会——历史社会与文化 Passage 1 1．D 2．D 3．A 4．B Passage 2 1．C 2．B 3．C 4．B Passage 3 1．A 2．B 3．D 4．B 主题02 人与社会——文学艺术与体育 Passage 1 1．C 2．B 3．B 4．D Passage 2 1．C 2．C 3．B 4．D Passage 3 1．D 2．C 3．A 4．C 主题03 人与自我——做人与做事 Passage 1 1．A 2．A 3．C 4．D Passage 2 1．D 2．A 3．D 4．C Passage 3 1．A 2．D 3．A 4．C 主题03 人与社会——社会服务与人际沟通 Passage 1 1．A 2．A 3．D 4．B Passage 2 1．C 2．D 3．A 4．B 主题01 人与社会——历史社会与文化 Passage 1 1．C 2．B 3．D 4．B Passage 2 1．B 2．A 3．C 4．D Passage 3 1．B 2．D 3．B 4．D 主题02 人与社会——文学艺术与体育 Passage 1 1．D 2．A 3．C 4．B Passage 2 1．A 2．D 3．B 4．D Passage 3 1．B 2．B 3．A 4．C 主题03 人与自我——做人与做事 Passage 1 1．D 2．A 3．C 4．D Passage 2 1．C 2．A 3．A 4．B Passage 3 1．A 2．C 3．D 4．B 主题03 人与社会——社会服务与人际沟通 Passage 1 1．D 2．B 3．A 4．C Passage 2 1．B 2．D 3．C 4．D / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
