专题05 阅读理解之记叙文 Passage 1 （24-25高一下·五区县·期末）Rainie Huang’s journey in make-up artistry began in 2018. While studying for a fashion design degree at an art academy, she discovered her love for make-up in her free moments. In 2020, “the Palace Museum covered in snow” became a hot topic on social media. “It was my first time observing such a scene. An idea came upon me then: Were those cultural relics quietly appreciating the snow inside the palace?” Huang said. She began imagining what the relics might look like in human form. So she got colors and elements from these artifacts (手工艺品) for her make-up. She skillfully recreated the features of an artifact on her face, bringing it to life. Her designs quickly gained popularity. “This approach not only allows people to appreciate the make-up but also helps them connect with the liveliness of our cultural heritage.” Huang said. Some have expressed how her make-up designs have introduced them to many little-known artifacts. One follower said, “You have found and shared the valuable things from museums, allowing us to see and appreciate the artifacts that were once lost among many exhibits during our hurried visits.” Huang has noticed that an increasing number of young people show a deep appreciation for the traditional culture. “It’s necessary for the ways museum culture is passed on to keep pace with the changing times to avoid culture loss. Young generations are responsible for carrying forward the culture, in whatever positive and productive manners,” Huang said. The total number of Chinese museums nationwide reached 6,565 in 2022, ranking among the top in the world. In the past, many considered museum visits boring because of a lack of awareness of their wealth of collections. The recommendations by social media influencers and TV programs have led to a growing number of people realizing that museums offer a wide variety of interesting things. While not everyone may be interested in objects and history, the quest for beauty is born among people. 1．What did the snowy Palace Museum inspire Huang to do? A．Start a career in fashion design. B．Present artifacts in snowy landscapes. C．Create make-up to show artifacts’ beauty. D．Teach people to do make-up on social media. 2．Why do Huang’s designs become popular? A．They make museum artworks more accessible. B．They allow people to imagine missing artifacts. C．They follow the latest beauty topics and styles. D．They satisfy people’s curiosity about artwork design. 3．What is Huang’s advice for young generations? A．Replacing museum trips with online visits. B．Connecting museum culture with business. C．Spreading museum culture in inventive ways. D．Keeping artifacts original for scientific research. 4．Which of the following can best describe Huang? A．Independent and serious. B．Creative and talented. C．Friendly and positive. D．Considerate and grateful. 5．What is the last paragraph intended to tell us? A．Media influences have increased museums’ attraction. B．Museums are changing practices to attract the young. C．Museum collections face the challenge of technology. D．Most people think highly of museum objects and history. Passage 2 （24-25高一下·天津西青·期末）Felicia Grimmenhag of Sweden doesn’t let anything stand in her way — even a life changing injury. After surviving a serious car accident, Felicia had to adjust to (适应) life in a wheelchair. But it didn’t stop her from pursuing her dream of becoming a champion horseback rider.

This is exactly what Shi Wei, known as Tie Dou online,does to achieve the strong leg muscles and physical fitness demands of her passion: racing. From March 21 to 23, the 2025 Formula One Heineken Chinese Grand Prix will be held at the Shanghai International Circuit. One of the competitors will be28-year-old Shi Wei, the first Chinese female driver of the all-female racing series launched by F1 Academy, a groundbreaking (开创性的) all-female for racing her to transition from childhood, leading her to a race car driver. Shi’s passion for racing began in her childhood, leading her to transition from a media professional to a race car driver. “ When I was young, the only exposure (接触) I had to racing was through video games like Need for Speed(《极品飞车》). It planted a seed in my heart, ” Shi said. She quit her job in 2018 and the turning point came in 2020 when she encountered a real Formula One racing car on the track for the first time. This unforgettable experience made her deep-seated dream of racing even clearer. A series of outstanding performances have earned her the qualification (资格) to join the competition. To prepare for the competition, Shi is doing intense (高强度的) training in Ningbo, Zhejiang province. Her daily schedule is packed,including physical training, recovery courses and track driving. Female racers need to put in extra effort when it comes to physical fitness.Just pressing the heavy steering wheels and brake pedals (制动踏板) needs 45 to55 kg of force. To generate enough braking force, she has carried out intense leg training. “Sometimes when I’m on a business trip and can’t go to the gym, I do squats with a male colleague on my back,” she said. “My neck grew 2.5 centimeters thicker in three months, and my physique (体格) became stronger.” As an increasing number of Chinese women have been stepping into the world of motorsports in recent years, Shi said that her goal goes beyond personal achievements. “I hope to inspire more women to enter the world of motorsports through my efforts,” she said. 1．Why does Shi Wei do squats with a fully grown adult on her back?

Passage 4 （24-25高一下·部分区·期末）Last term, my school organized a science competition. Being fond of doing physics experiments, I immediately teamed up with three classmates. Our goal was to conduct an experiment exploring renewable energy solutions—a topic we felt could make a significant contribution to environmental protection. The initial stage was full of agony. Emma, our team leader, often reminded us, “Loose lips sink ships—let’s keep our ideas secret.” Despite her warning, Jake leaked our plan by accident during lunch break. This forced us to adjust our design, which pushed our timeline beyond expectations. During the final week, the pressure became unbearable. Sarah, usually the calmest among us, even yelled at me for a minor math error. “Let’s take a breath,” Emma interrupted, handing out water bottles. Her ability to stay calm under pressure amazed me. We worked through nights, following scientific procedures with precise measurements. Our perseverance finally paid off when we were able to generate steady energy output using recycled materials. On presentation day, my hands shook as I demonstrated our model. The judges smiled when we explained how wind-powered generator could provide sufficient energy for emergency shelters during natural disasters. One professor remarked, “Your strategy for addressing energy threats is exceptionally creative for high school students.” Though we didn’t win first prize, the experience taught me a very important lesson. True creativity requires not just intelligence, but the courage to step out of your comfort zone. As I later wrote in my journal: “Every effort, even those that end in failure, plants seeds for future mental cure against self-doubt.” Walking past the disaster relief posters on my way home, I realized science isn’t just about formulas (公式)—it’s about weaving kindness into every discovery. That day, I promised myself to never hesitate when an opportunity present itself. 1．What was the author’s main reason to team up with his classmates? A．To win the science competition. B．To compete with other schools. C．An interest in renewable energy projects. D．A passion for doing physics experiments. 2．What caused the team to change their design? A．A minor math error in the design. B．A change in the competition rules. C．The plan’s accidental leak. D．The team leader’s warning. 3．What can be learned about Emma’s role in the team? A．She was not involved in decision-making. B．She was calm and supportive under pressure. C．She contributed mainly to technical work. D．She had little confidence in the team’s success. 4．Why does the author mention the comment from the professor? A．To highlight the students’ creativity. B．To criticize the team’s lack of preparation. C．To explain the function of the model. D．To express the support for the teachers. 5．How does the author find the science competition experience? A．It was stressful and unpleasant. B．It was about earning recognition. C．It was an easy task with little effort. D．It was challenging and valuable. Passage 5 （24-25高一下·四校联考·期末）There is a paradox (悖论) to being 20 meters under the ocean. It is a place of calm and wonder. I am immersed in a foreign world, with a new watery sky above me. There is a sense of peace as countless colorful fishes swim past. But the peacefulness is deceiving. As a beginner diver, my mind often goes into overdrive. All that stands between me and a painful fate is the tank of oxygen on my back. I must remember complex hand signals, from those that communicate an animal sighting to the essential “I’m out of air” signal. I also need to remember things like my dive time and depth, and the location of my friend. Therefore, the paradox: scuba diving (水肺潜水) is at once liberating and calm, and a challenging comprehension test. Funnily enough, the latter—the learning aspect of it—makes the former more enjoyable. When was the last time you learned a new skill? A truly new pursuit, not just an extension of your day-to-day? With busy lives and careers, the learning slows. It’s rare we try something truly new. Diving awakened me to the joy of learning new skills in adulthood. The activity is both exciting and has just enough danger to focus the mind; it forces you to wrestle with something unfamiliar and immerse yourself in the underwater world. It also forces you offline; there’s no checking emails 30 meters below the surface. With more dives, there is always more to learn. New dive sites also bring their own challenges. I’m lucky to have the time and money to take up new pursuits. Learning to dive isn’t cheap, but it’s worth every cent. One study found that people with hobbies had better health, more happiness and higher life satisfaction. So why not consider trying something new-truly new? There is a magical quality to being a beginner again, learning slowly, occasionally regressing (倒退) and sometimes progressing. And if you can do all that 20 meters under the sea, surrounded by curious turtles and friendly manta rays (蝠鲸), all the better. 1．What does the underlined word “immersed” in Paragraph 1 mean? A．Trapped in a dangerous environment. B．Forced to adapt to underwater pressure. C．Distracted by surrounding creatures. D．completely involved in a new experience. 2．What is the paradox of scuba diving described in the text? A．It is both expensive and dangerous. B．It offers peace but requires strict training. C．It is a test of courage and a waste of time. D．It allows freedom but causes memory loss. 3．Why does the author say the peacefulness of diving is “deceiving”? A．Because beginners must stay focused on safety. B．Because underwater creatures are dangerous. C．Because oxygen tanks often fail unexpectedly. D．Because divers can easily get lost underwater. 4．How has diving influenced the author? A．It has helped the author to get over the fear of the ocean. B．It has improved their email management skills. C．It has caused the pleasure of acquiring unfamiliar abilities. D．It has made the author prefer underwater world to daily life. 5．What is the author’s main purpose in writing this text? A．To warn beginners about the dangers of diving. B．To describe the beauty of underwater world. C．To encourage readers to try new experiences. D．To share tips on passing diving tests. Passage 6 （24-25高一下·河西·期末）Vivien He is a senior at a high school in Rolling Hills Estates. Growing up in Southern California, where earthquakes often happen, this 18-year-old girl has spent lots of time hiding under her school desk during earthquake drills. Although these ground tremors are slightly shaking, they are often unpredictable. Earthquake early warning systems do exist. One is the ShakeAlert system on the U. S. West Coast. Earthquake monitoring stations in the Shake Alert network detect ground shaking when a quake strikes. Those stations then alert people that the ground under them may soon start to shake. But it’s hard to predict how much the ground will shake at any given place. And people closest to an earthquake’s source are out of luck. They’ll feel the shaking before they can get an alert. Therefore, Vivien built an at-home earthquake sensor. Called the Qube, this device uses a motion sensor called a geophone (地震检波器) to feel tremors that may mark the beginning of a bigger quake. Then, it can warn users by sounding the alarm or sending text alerts. To build it, Vivien bought a machine and watched YouTube videos to learn how to use it. Then she went to work in a spare bathroom . During nine months of testing, Vivien’s Qube detected all earthquakes over magnitude 3 around Los Angeles. The motion data captured by her Qube also matched those from a nearby seismometer (地震仪) in the Southern California Seismic Network. Vivien is now building up a network of Qubes around Los Angeles. “I have eight devices in different homes,” she says. A widespread Qube network could serve as a role similar to that of Shake Alert seismic stations. When one Qube starts to shake, it could alert users across town to an oncoming quake. But unlike earthquake monitoring stations, Qubes are tiny and inexpensive. About the size of a Rubik’s cube, one Qube costs less than $100 to make. So, many more of them could be installed around a city. 1．What does the underlined word “tremors” mean in English? A．Small earthquakes. B．Big earthquakes. C．Huge seismometers. D．Mini geophones. 2．What can we learn about Vivien He when she was little? A．She used to like playing hide and seek in school. B．She was often at risk of experiencing an earthquake. C．She once got injured severely in an earthquake drill. D．She showed no interest in studying natural disasters. 3．Why does the author mention the ShakeAlert system? A．To prove the necessity of early earthquake monitoring stations. B．To compare ShakeAlert with Vivien’s Qube in terms of accuracy. C．To highlight the technological advancements in earthquake detection. D．To show the drawback of existing earthquake early warning systems. 4．What’s the main function of Vivien He’s device? A．Monitoring tremors and sending alarms. B．Collecting data about minor earthquakes. C．Predicting the center of an earthquake. D．Assessing the sizes of earthquakes. 5．What’s implied about the network of Qubes? A．It’s very challenging to build it. B．It has limitations in large cities. C．It can be easily applied at a low cost. D．It just requires eight devices in each place. Passage 1 （24-25高一下·天津河东·期末）Barbara McClintock was one of the most important scientists of the twentieth century. She made important discoveries about genes and chromosomes (染色体). Barbara McClintock was born in 1902 in Hartford, Connecticut. She studied science at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York. Barbara was among a small number of undergraduate students to receive training in genetics in 1921. Years later, she noted that few college students wanted to study genetics. Barbara McClintock decided to study botany, the scientific study of plants, at Cornell University. She completed her undergraduate studies in 1923. McClintock decided to continue her education at Cornell. She completed a master’s degree in 1925. Two years later, she finished all her requirements for a doctorate degree. McClintock stayed at Cornell after she completed her education. She taught students botany. The 1930s were not a good time to be a young scientist in the United States. The country was in the middle of the great economic Depression. Millions of Americans were unemployed. Male scientists were offered jobs. But female geneticists were not much in demand. An old friend from Cornell, Marcus Rhoades, invited McClintock to spend the summer of 1941, working at the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory. It is a research center on Long Island, near New York City. McClintock started in a temporary job with the genetics department. A short time later, she accepted a permanent position with the laboratory. This gave her the freedom to continue her research without having to teach or repeatedly ask for financial aid. By the 1970s, her discoveries have had an effect on everything from genetic engineering to cancer research. McClintock won the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine in 1983 for her discovery of the ability of genes to change position s on chromosomes. She was the first American woman to win an unshared Nobel Prize. 1．When did McClintock get a doctorate degree? A．In 1921. B．In 1923. C．In 1925. D．In 1927. 2．In the middle of the great economic Depression in the US, . A．male geneticists were in great demand B．young scientists might have trouble finding a job C．female geneticists were not in demand at all D．male scientists lost their jobs and were out of work 3．Which of the following jobs was beneficial to McClintock’s research? A．A job as a botany teacher. B．A temporary job in the genetics department. C．A permanent position in the laboratory. D．A job to research cancer. Passage 2 （24-25高一下·天津滨海新区·期末）John Bramblitt is an artist who learned to see through his paintbrush when his world went dark. Before going blind at the age of 30, he had never painted before. But now his works are talked about around the world, and his experience is inspiring millions. Bramblitt is an artist whose work is defined by fearless and expressive palettes (调色板), and speaks volumes. The meanings he expresses in his works are diverse. It is hard to imagine that the man behind the colorful paintings is a blind man. Fourteen years ago, he suffered complications from epilepsy (癫痫) that left him irreversibly blind. “When I first lost my sight I was really angry. I was so angry that I wouldn’t admit that I was angry. I was angry at everything. Everything in the world that was important in my life seemed to be taken away from me. I couldn’t leave my apartment by my own. I couldn’t read, and I couldn’t write anymore,” he said. Losing his eyesight was a turning point in Bramblitt’s life. He calls it “the deepest,darkest hole.” But he eventually climbed out of that hole, by picking up the paintbrush. “I had thought about painting before. It might be horrible to say, but I didn’t think I’d be very good at it. When I lost my sight, I thought well I didn’t have to look at it anyway, so I thought I would give it a try,” he said. “When I first started painting, I never thought of showing it to anybody ever. It’s just something that I needed to do, to let it out. The whole thing of painting is really symbolic to prove that I still have some sort of perception (感知) that I could still see. He has never seen his wife or his young son, but it is clear that he knows exactly what they look like. His portraits are proof that his fingertips are every bit as perceptive as his eyes once were. Bramblitt’s art is gaining notice in galleries around the world. He can often be found in museums or at schools, teaching his technique and what he has learned about life and color to children. 1．What does the underlined part “speaks volumes” mean in Paragraph One? A．earns a lot. B．means a lot. C．gains much respect. D．succeeds in expression. 2．What was John Bramblitt’s life-changing event? A．His first painting exhibition. B．His teaching career in museums and schools. C．His marriage and having a son. D．His suffering from epilepsy and becoming blind. 3．Which of the following is TRUE? A．It was harder for Bramblitt to paint after he was blind. B．Bramblitt had more time to learn to paint after he got blind. C．Bramblitt had been afraid that what he was going to paint would look bad. D．It was much better for the blind to learn to paint. 4．We can infer from the passage that ________ . A．Bramblitt had sold everything to stop his blindness B．Bramblitt learned to paint to show his talent in painting C．Bramblitt’s works attract wide attraction in the world D．Bramblitt paints a picture directly by the image in his mind 5．What is the best title of the passage? A．Painting a New World in Darkness B．The Dilemma of a Blind Artist C．Epilepsy and Its Impact D．Teaching Art after Losing Sight Passage 3 （24-25高一下·天津和平·期末）The Feather of Impermanence (无常) Would you spend 30 minutes every day looking at a kitty and interacting with it? Even it is just an electronic kitty? Recently, Zhao Shuo @Zhao Shuo’s Journey to the West, a Tiktok riding broadcaster, and his cat Wukong, whom he met and adopted on his way to the west, became popular on the Internet. Zhao Shuo’s videos showed towering snow-capped mountains, winding rivers, and his fluffy cat, Wukong. Like a magnet, they appealed to millions of tired city people. For months, fans enjoyed their “digital pet,” sending warm greetings like “Goodnight, Wukong” across screens. Zhao Shuo kept cycling outdoors, covering 12,000 miles, half of which was with Wukong since their meeting in Kanas, Xinjiang. Many amusing little things happened on their journey, and Wukong’s arrival also made Zhao’s video clips more lively and vivid. In a world of constant wanting and stress, their simple journey shone brightly. People saw real innocence (天真) and freedom, making their own material lives seem pale. Then came the switch. Wukong suddenly died of uncertain reasons, and even to this day, there are many doubts surrounding his death, which was so unacceptable that people kept desperately asking why — but their cries were about more than a lost cat. Wukong’s death felt like the death of innocence itself. We long for safety, happiness, and warmth to last forever, like solid rocks. Wukong’s unexplained end destroyed that dream like lightning. It showed life’s cruel truth: everything is fragile, and fate is unpredictable. It left a heavy emptiness. Zhao Shuo drove 1,500 miles to bury Wukong back in Kanas. This long journey through grief was his valley of sorrow. The song” Dear You” cried out his pain — but the true strength from his action isn’t just tears. Facing severe loss, finding your way from the ruins, that is growth. By returning Wukong to Kanas Lake’s clear water, he touched life’s deepest truth: even when love is broken, its unseen bond remains strong. Wukong, that light feather, was blown away by the wind of change. He took our dream of perfect safety with him. Yet, he also lifted a veil (面纱): trying to hold happiness tight is like grasping sand — it slips away. True peace isn’t a high wall against life’s storms. It’s like Kanas Lake. After mountains, clouds, wind, and rain paint its surface, it stays clear and deep. It holds all changes yet still reflects the whole sky — embracing every cloud and bird. Life’s meaning isn’t found in castles built up with material accumulation, or in chasing forever-happiness. It lives in the wide field of the heart. Our deepest freedom and widest peace are found simply, not by avoiding loss, but by walking through its storm. Losing Wukong taught us this: accepting impermanence is the path to inner calm and the truest freedom. 1．What is the probable meaning of the underlined word in the second paragraph? A．impact B．threat C．encouragement D．attraction 2．The third paragraph primarily serves to ________. A．illustrate the contrast between idealism and severe reality B．mark a turning point in the narrative’s emotional tone C．criticize public skepticism towards unexpected events D．emphasize the medical mystery of Wukong’s death 3．What can be inferred from Zhao Shuo’s act of driving 1,500 miles to bury Wukong in Kanas? A．His journey symbolized a process of facing up to sadness and acceptance. B．He rejected the reality of impermanence through denial. C．He sought public sympathy through a dramatic action. D．His primary goal was to fulfill Wukong’s presumed last wish. 4．The author’s central message in the passage is that ________. A．material pursuits unavoidably lead to emptiness B．pet companionship is essential for emotional healing C．true freedom arises from embracing the ever-changing nature of life D．the fame gained from social media cannot relieve an enormous personal loss Passage 4 （24-25高一下·四校联考·期末）Before breaking his back and injuring his spinal cord (脊髓)as a result of the fall from a high mountain in 2023, Darren Edwards’ dream had been to climb Mount Qomolangma one day. “I knew that Qomolangma was out for me after the accident, but I’m fortunate because I was able to take on some other great challenges with the support of some good friends,” Darren said. Earlier this year, Darren joined the first all-disabled team to move across Europe’s largest icecap, unsupported and unassisted, on a sit-ski. It was during this trip that he realised he was no longer battling against his limitations. Rather, he was enjoying a very special adventure, one that he was able to do though he was disabled. “This was when I started dreaming of an even bigger adventure — to complete the furthest journey on a sit-ski in the history of the South Pole exploration,” he said. Darren now skis for 10 to 12 hours every day. “I am not training to be able to go faster, but to make myself ready for an endurance (耐力)challenge because I need to cover 333 km in temperatures below-20℃ before reaching the South Pole,” he said. “But I am fairly pleased to have the opportunity to take on the sit-ski exploration, especially because for one year after my accident I did not imagine I would be able to take up such challenges.” He also believes that the adventure will provide inspiration for anyone who has a spinal injury or anyone who is struggling. Realising how fortunate he has been to be encouraged by others to take on new challenges and adventures, Darren and a friend have started a business, Adaptive Expeditions. “I know how much I have gained from being able to take on adventures that I never imagined would be possible due to the spinal cord injury. So we want to inspire individuals with disabilities by offering the same opportunities and impactful explorations to push their limits and discover their potential,” Darren said. 1．What did Darren learn from his sit-ski experience in Europe? A．Adventurous trips benefit disabled people. B．Physical disabilities never determine a person. C．The disabled deserve support and assistance. D．Teamwork leads to a successful journey. 2．Why does Darren train hard for his scheduled journey to the South Pole? A．To reduce his disability impact. B．To learn basic ski skills quickly. C．To prepare for physical limits. D．To improve his speed on the ski. 3．How does Darren feel about his upcoming trip to the South Pole? A．Positive and determined. B．Stressed and nervous. C．Relieved and encouraged. D．Worried and puzzled. 4．What does Darren want to do by founding Adaptive Expeditions? A．Encourage the disabled to make more friends. B．Teach the disabled to adapt to their daily life. C．Provide life-changing opportunities for the disabled. D．Help the disabled turn hobbies into work. 5．What lesson can we learn from Darren’s story? A．He who laughs in the end laughs best. B．What goes around comes around. C．Failure is the mother of success. D．Where there is a will, there is a way. Passage 5 （24-25高一下·耀华中学·期末）During our four days in Sydney, the first thing on my wish list was to record the symbols of this city, the Sydney Opera House and Harbour Bridge, at sunset (日落). Thankfully, my family was very patient with me, as we watched the sunset over and over again while I recorded the exciting moments on my camera. We first arrived at the Queen Victoria Building, or QVB, which has been called one of the most beautiful places to go shopping. From the QVB we walked down to the Circular Quay, our first look at the Sydney Opera House and Harbour Bridge. Then the next day, we went to the Taronga Zoo, located across the harbour (港口) from the Circular Quay. There are many Australian animals as well as lions, tigers, and Asian elephants. The best part of the zoo is the ferry (渡船) ride to get there and the view along the way. For one of the best sunset views, we paid a visit to Mrs. Macquarie’s Chair, a famous viewpoint of the Sydney Harbour. I felt like a true photographer, making my very patient and understanding family wait in the cold for almost two hours while I filled my memory card with photos of the wonderful sunset. Our time had to come to an end. We spent our last night at the Sydney Opera House café, playing cards, drinking wine, and watching the sunset. If you would like to know where not to stay in Sydney, then do not go to the Central Railway Hotel. This hotel, one of the few that were cheap enough to fit into our budget, was loud, dirty, and crowded. We were always checking the windows, since so much noise was coming in from the streets.

While studying for a fashion design degree at an art academy, she discovered her love for make-up in her free moments. In 2020, “the Palace Museum covered in snow” became a hot topic on social media. “It was my first time observing such a scene. An idea came upon me then: Were those cultural relics quietly appreciating the snow inside the palace?” Huang said. She began imagining what the relics might look like in human form. So she got colors and elements from these artifacts (手工艺品) for her make-up. She skillfully recreated the features of an artifact on her face, bringing it to life. Her designs quickly gained popularity. “This approach not only allows people to appreciate the make-up but also helps them connect with the liveliness of our cultural heritage.” Huang said. Some have expressed how her make-up designs have introduced them to many little-known artifacts. One follower said, “You have found and shared the valuable things from museums, allowing us to see and appreciate the artifacts that were once lost among many exhibits during our hurried visits.” Huang has noticed that an increasing number of young people show a deep appreciation for the traditional culture. “It’s necessary for the ways museum culture is passed on to keep pace with the changing times to avoid culture loss. Young generations are responsible for carrying forward the culture, in whatever positive and productive manners,” Huang said. The total number of Chinese museums nationwide reached 6,565 in 2022, ranking among the top in the world. In the past, many considered museum visits boring because of a lack of awareness of their wealth of collections. The recommendations by social media influencers and TV programs have led to a growing number of people realizing that museums offer a wide variety of interesting things. While not everyone may be interested in objects and history, the quest for beauty is born among people. 1．What did the snowy Palace Museum inspire Huang to do? A．Start a career in fashion design. B．Present artifacts in snowy landscapes. C．Create make-up to show artifacts’ beauty. D．Teach people to do make-up on social media. 2．Why do Huang’s designs become popular?

Being fond of doing physics experiments, I immediately teamed up with three classmates. Our goal was to conduct an experiment exploring renewable energy solutions—a topic we felt could make a significant contribution to environmental protection. The initial stage was full of agony. Emma, our team leader, often reminded us, “Loose lips sink ships—let’s keep our ideas secret.” Despite her warning, Jake leaked our plan by accident during lunch break. This forced us to adjust our design, which pushed our timeline beyond expectations. During the final week, the pressure became unbearable. Sarah, usually the calmest among us, even yelled at me for a minor math error. “Let’s take a breath,” Emma interrupted, handing out water bottles. Her ability to stay calm under pressure amazed me. We worked through nights, following scientific procedures with precise measurements. Our perseverance finally paid off when we were able to generate steady energy output using recycled materials. On presentation day, my hands shook as I demonstrated our model. The judges smiled when we explained how wind-powered generator could provide sufficient energy for emergency shelters during natural disasters. One professor remarked, “Your strategy for addressing energy threats is exceptionally creative for high school students.” Though we didn’t win first prize, the experience taught me a very important lesson. True creativity requires not just intelligence, but the courage to step out of your comfort zone. As I later wrote in my journal: “Every effort, even those that end in failure, plants seeds for future mental cure against self-doubt.” Walking past the disaster relief posters on my way home, I realized science isn’t just about formulas (公式)—it’s about weaving kindness into every discovery. That day, I promised myself to never hesitate when an opportunity present itself. 1．What was the author’s main reason to team up with his classmates? A．To win the science competition.

It is a place of calm and wonder. I am immersed in a foreign world, with a new watery sky above me. There is a sense of peace as countless colorful fishes swim past. But the peacefulness is deceiving. As a beginner diver, my mind often goes into overdrive. All that stands between me and a painful fate is the tank of oxygen on my back. I must remember complex hand signals, from those that communicate an animal sighting to the essential “I’m out of air” signal. I also need to remember things like my dive time and depth, and the location of my friend. Therefore, the paradox: scuba diving (水肺潜水) is at once liberating and calm, and a challenging comprehension test. Funnily enough, the latter—the learning aspect of it—makes the former more enjoyable. When was the last time you learned a new skill? A truly new pursuit, not just an extension of your day-to-day? With busy lives and careers, the learning slows. It’s rare we try something truly new. Diving awakened me to the joy of learning new skills in adulthood. The activity is both exciting and has just enough danger to focus the mind; it forces you to wrestle with something unfamiliar and immerse yourself in the underwater world. It also forces you offline; there’s no checking emails 30 meters below the surface. With more dives, there is always more to learn. New dive sites also bring their own challenges. I’m lucky to have the time and money to take up new pursuits. Learning to dive isn’t cheap, but it’s worth every cent. One study found that people with hobbies had better health, more happiness and higher life satisfaction. So why not consider trying something new-truly new? There is a magical quality to being a beginner again, learning slowly, occasionally regressing (倒退) and sometimes progressing. And if you can do all that 20 meters under the sea, surrounded by curious turtles and friendly manta rays (蝠鲸), all the better. 1．What does the underlined word “immersed” in Paragraph 1 mean? A．Trapped in a dangerous environment. B．Forced to adapt to underwater pressure. C．Distracted by surrounding creatures. D．completely involved in a new experience. 2．What is the paradox of scuba diving described in the text? A．It is both expensive and dangerous. B．It offers peace but requires strict training. C．It is a test of courage and a waste of time. D．It allows freedom but causes memory loss. 3．Why does the author say the peacefulness of diving is “deceiving”? A．Because beginners must stay focused on safety. B．Because underwater creatures are dangerous. C．Because oxygen tanks often fail unexpectedly. D．Because divers can easily get lost underwater. 4．How has diving influenced the author? A．It has helped the author to get over the fear of the ocean. B．It has improved their email management skills. C．It has caused the pleasure of acquiring unfamiliar abilities. D．It has made the author prefer underwater world to daily life. 5．What is the author’s main purpose in writing this text? A．To warn beginners about the dangers of diving. B．To describe the beauty of underwater world. C．To encourage readers to try new experiences. D．To share tips on passing diving tests. 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．A 4．C 5．C 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。本文主要讲述了作者学习潜水的经历，以及对学习新技能的看法，并鼓励人们学习新技能。 【详解】 1．词句猜测题。划线词前文“It is a place of calm and wonder.(这是一个充满平静和奇妙的地方。)”和后文“There is a sense of peace as countless colorful fishes swim past.(无数色彩斑斓的鱼儿游过，有一种宁静的感觉。)”说明作者喜欢在海底潜水这种宁静的感觉，从而推知划线词所在句“I am immersed in a foreign world, with a new watery sky above me.(我immersed在一个陌生的世界里，头顶上是一片新的水汪汪的天空。)”其中划线词应为“沉浸的”的意思，D项“完全投入到一种新的体验中”符合题意。故选D项。 2．细节理解题。根据第四段中“Therefore, the paradox: scuba diving (水肺潜水) is at once liberating and calm, and a challenging comprehension test.(因此，悖论是：水肺潜水既是一种解放和平静，也是一种具有挑战性的理解测试。)”可知，文中描述的水肺潜水的悖论是它提供了平静，但需要严格的、具有挑战性的训练。故选B项。 3．推理判断题。根据第二段中“As a beginner diver, my mind often goes into overdrive. All that stands between me and a painful fate is the tank of oxygen on my back.(作为一名潜水新手，我的思维常常超速运转。站在我和痛苦的命运之间的是我背上的氧气罐。)”和第三段“I must remember complex hand signals, from those that communicate an animal sighting to the essential “I’m out of air” signal. I also need to remember things like my dive time and depth, and the location of my friend.(我必须记住复杂的手势，从传达动物视觉的手势到基本的“我没气了”信号。我还需要记住我的潜水时间和深度，以及我朋友的位置。)”可知，因为初学者一定要注意安全，所以作者说潜水的平静是“骗人的”。故选A项。 4．细节理解题。根据第六段“Diving awakened me to the joy of learning new skills in adulthood. The activity is both exciting and has just enough danger to focus the mind; it forces you to wrestle with something unfamiliar and immerse yourself in the underwater world.(潜水让我意识到成年后学习新技能的乐趣。这项活动既令人兴奋，又有足够的危险性来集中注意力；它迫使你与不熟悉的东西搏斗，让自己沉浸在水下世界。)”可知，潜水给作者带来了获得不熟悉的能力的乐趣。故选C项。 5．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“So why not consider trying something new-truly new? There is a magical quality to being a beginner again, learning slowly, occasionally regressing (倒退) and sometimes progressing.(那么，为什么不考虑尝试一些新的东西呢？重新成为一个初学者有一种神奇的品质，慢慢学习，偶尔倒退，有时进步。)”可知，作者写这篇文章的主要目的是鼓励读者尝试新的体验。故选C项。 Passage 6 （24-25高一下·河西·期末）Vivien He is a senior at a high school in Rolling Hills Estates. Growing up in Southern California, where earthquakes often happen, this 18-year-old girl has spent lots of time hiding under her school desk during earthquake drills. Although these ground tremors are slightly shaking, they are often unpredictable. Earthquake early warning systems do exist. One is the ShakeAlert system on the U. S. West Coast. Earthquake monitoring stations in the Shake Alert network detect ground shaking when a quake strikes. Those stations then alert people that the ground under them may soon start to shake. But it’s hard to predict how much the ground will shake at any given place. And people closest to an earthquake’s source are out of luck. They’ll feel the shaking before they can get an alert. Therefore, Vivien built an at-home earthquake sensor. Called the Qube, this device uses a motion sensor called a geophone (地震检波器) to feel tremors that may mark the beginning of a bigger quake. Then, it can warn users by sounding the alarm or sending text alerts. To build it, Vivien bought a machine and watched YouTube videos to learn how to use it. Then she went to work in a spare bathroom . During nine months of testing, Vivien’s Qube detected all earthquakes over magnitude 3 around Los Angeles. The motion data captured by her Qube also matched those from a nearby seismometer (地震仪) in the Southern California Seismic Network. Vivien is now building up a network of Qubes around Los Angeles. “I have eight devices in different homes,” she says. A widespread Qube network could serve as a role similar to that of Shake Alert seismic stations. When one Qube starts to shake, it could alert users across town to an oncoming quake. But unlike earthquake monitoring stations, Qubes are tiny and inexpensive. About the size of a Rubik’s cube, one Qube costs less than $100 to make. So, many more of them could be installed around a city. 1．What does the underlined word “tremors” mean in English? A．Small earthquakes. B．Big earthquakes. C．Huge seismometers. D．Mini geophones. 2．What can we learn about Vivien He when she was little? A．She used to like playing hide and seek in school. B．She was often at risk of experiencing an earthquake. C．She once got injured severely in an earthquake drill. D．She showed no interest in studying natural disasters. 3．Why does the author mention the ShakeAlert system? A．To prove the necessity of early earthquake monitoring stations. B．To compare ShakeAlert with Vivien’s Qube in terms of accuracy. C．To highlight the technological advancements in earthquake detection. D．To show the drawback of existing earthquake early warning systems. 4．What’s the main function of Vivien He’s device? A．Monitoring tremors and sending alarms. B．Collecting data about minor earthquakes. C．Predicting the center of an earthquake. D．Assessing the sizes of earthquakes. 5．What’s implied about the network of Qubes? A．It’s very challenging to build it. B．It has limitations in large cities. C．It can be easily applied at a low cost. D．It just requires eight devices in each place. 【答案】1．A 2．B 3．D 4．A 5．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了美国一名高中女生Vivien He自制的一种地震感应器，它可以感应到一些可能引起更大地震的小地震，从而发出警报来警示用户。 【详解】 1．词义猜测题。根据划线词所在句“Although these ground tremors are slightly shaking, they are often unpredictable.(尽管这些地面tremors震动幅度不大，但它们往往难以预测。)”中的“are slightly shaking”可知，这些地震震动幅度比较小，所以应该是一些小地震，tremors表示“小地震”。故选A。 2．细节理解题。根据第一段“Growing up in Southern California, where earthquakes often happen, this 18-year-old girl has spent lots of time hiding under her school desk during earthquake drills.(这个 18 岁的女孩在南加州长大，那里经常会发生地震。因此，在地震演练时，她总是会躲到学校的课桌下面。)”可知，Vivien从小就经常经历过地震的危险。故选B。 3．推理判断题。根据第二段中“One is the Shake Alert system on the U. S. West Coast. (其中之一是美国西海岸的ShakeAlert系统。)”、“But it’s hard to predict how much the ground will shake at any given place. And people closest to an earthquake’s source are out of luck. They’ll feel the shaking before they can get an alert.(但很难预测在任何特定地点地震的震感会有多强烈。而距离地震震源最近的人们则会倒霉了，因为他们会在接收到警报之前就已经感受到震动了。)”以及第三段中“Therefore, Vivien built an at-home earthquake sensor. Called the Qube, this device uses a motion sensor called a geophone (地震检波器) to feel tremors that may mark the beginning of a bigger quake. (因此，维维安建造了一个家用地震传感器。这种装置被称为Qube，它使用一种称为检波器的运动传感器来感知可能标志着更大地震开始的微小震动。)”对Vivien自制的地震感应器的介绍可知，作者提到ShakeAlert这个震动警报系统是为了展示现有的地震预报系统的缺点和不足之处。故选D。 4．细节理解题。根据第二段“Called the Qube, this device uses a motion sensor called a geophone(地震检波器) to feel tremors that may mark the beginning of a bigger quake. Then, it can warn users by sounding the alarm or sending text alerts.(这款名为‘Qube’的设备利用一种名为‘地震检波器’的运动传感器来感知可能预示更大地震发生的微小震动，随后，它会通过发出警报或发送短信通知等方式向用户发出警告。)”可知，Vivien He的设备的主要功能是监测小的地震，并向用户发出警报。故选A。 5．推理判断题。根据最后一段“But unlike earthquake monitoring stations, Qubes are tiny and inexpensive. About the size of a Rubik’s cube, one Qube costs less than $100 to make. So, many more of them could be installed around a city.(但与地震监测站不同的是，Qubes体积小巧且成本低廉，其大小约相当于一个魔方，制作一个Qubes的成本还不到100美元，因此，可以在城市周边安装更多的此类探测器。)”可知，Qubes可以很容易地以低成本应用。故选C。 Passage 1 （24-25高一下·天津河东·期末）Barbara McClintock was one of the most important scientists of the twentieth century. She made important discoveries about genes and chromosomes (染色体). Barbara McClintock was born in 1902 in Hartford, Connecticut. She studied science at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York. Barbara was among a small number of undergraduate students to receive training in genetics in 1921. Years later, she noted that few college students wanted to study genetics. Barbara McClintock decided to study botany, the scientific study of plants, at Cornell University. She completed her undergraduate studies in 1923. McClintock decided to continue her education at Cornell. She completed a master’s degree in 1925. Two years later, she finished all her requirements for a doctorate degree. McClintock stayed at Cornell after she completed her education. She taught students botany. The 1930s were not a good time to be a young scientist in the United States. The country was in the middle of the great economic Depression. Millions of Americans were unemployed. Male scientists were offered jobs. But female geneticists were not much in demand. An old friend from Cornell, Marcus Rhoades, invited McClintock to spend the summer of 1941, working at the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory. It is a research center on Long Island, near New York City. McClintock started in a temporary job with the genetics department. A short time later, she accepted a permanent position with the laboratory. This gave her the freedom to continue her research without having to teach or repeatedly ask for financial aid. By the 1970s, her discoveries have had an effect on everything from genetic engineering to cancer research. McClintock won the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine in 1983 for her discovery of the ability of genes to change position s on chromosomes. She was the first American woman to win an unshared Nobel Prize. 1．When did McClintock get a doctorate degree? A．In 1921. B．In 1923. C．In 1925. D．In 1927. 2．In the middle of the great economic Depression in the US, . A．male geneticists were in great demand B．young scientists might have trouble finding a job C．female geneticists were not in demand at all D．male scientists lost their jobs and were out of work 3．Which of the following jobs was beneficial to McClintock’s research? A．A job as a botany teacher. B．A temporary job in the genetics department. C．A permanent position in the laboratory. D．A job to research cancer. 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．C 【导语】这是一篇人物传记类阅读。本文主要讲述了著名女科学家Barbara McClintock的经历以及她在基因和染色体研究方面取得的重大成就。 1．细节理解题。根据第三段“She completed a master’s degree in 1925. Two years later, she finished all her requirements for a doctorate degree.(她于1925年获得硕士学位。两年后，她完成了博士学位的所有要求。)”可知，她在1927年取得博士学位，故选D。 2．细节理解题。根据第四段“The 1930s were not a good time to be a young scientist in the United States. The country was in the middle of the great economic Depression. Millions of Americans were unemployed.(在美国，20世纪30年代并不是年轻科学家的好时代。这个国家正处于经济大萧条的中期。数百万美国人失业。)”可知，在此期间，年轻的科学家很难找到工作，故选B。 3．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“A short time later, she accepted a permanent position with the laboratory. This gave her the freedom to continue her research without having to teach or repeatedly ask for financial aid.(不久之后，她接受了实验室的一个永久职位。这给了她继续研究的自由，而不必教书或反复要求经济援助。)”可知，在实验室的永久职位对McClintock的研究有帮助，故选C。 Passage 2 （24-25高一下·天津滨海新区·期末）John Bramblitt is an artist who learned to see through his paintbrush when his world went dark. Before going blind at the age of 30, he had never painted before. But now his works are talked about around the world, and his experience is inspiring millions. Bramblitt is an artist whose work is defined by fearless and expressive palettes (调色板), and speaks volumes. The meanings he expresses in his works are diverse. It is hard to imagine that the man behind the colorful paintings is a blind man. Fourteen years ago, he suffered complications from epilepsy (癫痫) that left him irreversibly blind. “When I first lost my sight I was really angry. I was so angry that I wouldn’t admit that I was angry. I was angry at everything. Everything in the world that was important in my life seemed to be taken away from me. I couldn’t leave my apartment by my own. I couldn’t read, and I couldn’t write anymore,” he said. Losing his eyesight was a turning point in Bramblitt’s life. He calls it “the deepest,darkest hole.” But he eventually climbed out of that hole, by picking up the paintbrush. “I had thought about painting before. It might be horrible to say, but I didn’t think I’d be very good at it. When I lost my sight, I thought well I didn’t have to look at it anyway, so I thought I would give it a try,” he said. “When I first started painting, I never thought of showing it to anybody ever. It’s just something that I needed to do, to let it out. The whole thing of painting is really symbolic to prove that I still have some sort of perception (感知) that I could still see. He has never seen his wife or his young son, but it is clear that he knows exactly what they look like. His portraits are proof that his fingertips are every bit as perceptive as his eyes once were. Bramblitt’s art is gaining notice in galleries around the world. He can often be found in museums or at schools, teaching his technique and what he has learned about life and color to children. 1．What does the underlined part “speaks volumes” mean in Paragraph One? A．earns a lot. B．means a lot. C．gains much respect. D．succeeds in expression. 2．What was John Bramblitt’s life-changing event? A．His first painting exhibition. B．His teaching career in museums and schools. C．His marriage and having a son. D．His suffering from epilepsy and becoming blind. 3．Which of the following is TRUE? A．It was harder for Bramblitt to paint after he was blind. B．Bramblitt had more time to learn to paint after he got blind. C．Bramblitt had been afraid that what he was going to paint would look bad. D．It was much better for the blind to learn to paint. 4．We can infer from the passage that ________ . A．Bramblitt had sold everything to stop his blindness B．Bramblitt learned to paint to show his talent in painting C．Bramblitt’s works attract wide attraction in the world D．Bramblitt paints a picture directly by the image in his mind 5．What is the best title of the passage? A．Painting a New World in Darkness B．The Dilemma of a Blind Artist C．Epilepsy and Its Impact D．Teaching Art after Losing Sight 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．C 4．C 5．A 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了John Bramblitt在30岁因癫痫失明后开始学画画，他的作品意义丰富，在世界上受到关注，他还向孩子们传授绘画技巧和生活感悟。 1．词句猜测题。根据划线短语后“The meanings he expresses in his works are diverse. (他在作品中表达的意义是多样的。)”可知，他的作品有很多意义。由此可推断“speaks volumes”意思是“意味着很多；意义重大”。故选B项。 2．细节理解题。根据第二段中“Fourteen years ago, he suffered complications from epilepsy (癫痫) that left him irreversibly blind. (十四年前，他因癫痫并发症导致不可逆转的失明。)”和第三段中“Losing his eyesight was a turning point in Bramblitt’s life. (失去视力是Bramblitt生活的转折点。)”可知，他患癫痫并失明是他人生的转折点。故选D项。 3．细节理解题。根据第三段中“I had thought about painting before. It might be horrible to say, but I didn’t think I’d be very good at it. (我以前就想过画画。说出来可能很可怕，但我觉得自己不会画得很好。)”可知，Bramblitt之前一直担心自己画的东西会很难看，所以“Bramblitt had been afraid that what he was going to paint would look bad. (布兰布利特一直担心他要画的东西会看起来很糟糕。)”是正确表述。故选C项。 4．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Bramblitt’s art is gaining notice in galleries around the world.(Bramblitt的艺术作品在世界各地的画廊受到关注。)”可推断，他的作品在世界上吸引了广泛的关注。故选C项。 5．主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第三段中“When I lost my sight, I thought well I didn’t have to look at it anyway, so I thought I would give it a try (当我失明后，我想反正我也不用看它，所以我想我可以试一试)”以及最后一段中“Bramblitt’s art is gaining notice in galleries around the world. (Bramblitt的艺术作品在世界各地的画廊受到关注。)”可知，Bramblitt在黑暗(失明)中开始绘画并取得成就，开启了新的世界。A项“Painting a New World in Darkness. (在黑暗中描绘一个新世界。)”能概括文章内容，最适合做文章标题。故选A项。 Passage 3 （24-25高一下·天津和平·期末）The Feather of Impermanence (无常) Would you spend 30 minutes every day looking at a kitty and interacting with it? Even it is just an electronic kitty? Recently, Zhao Shuo @Zhao Shuo’s Journey to the West, a Tiktok riding broadcaster, and his cat Wukong, whom he met and adopted on his way to the west, became popular on the Internet. Zhao Shuo’s videos showed towering snow-capped mountains, winding rivers, and his fluffy cat, Wukong. Like a magnet, they appealed to millions of tired city people. For months, fans enjoyed their “digital pet,” sending warm greetings like “Goodnight, Wukong” across screens. Zhao Shuo kept cycling outdoors, covering 12,000 miles, half of which was with Wukong since their meeting in Kanas, Xinjiang. Many amusing little things happened on their journey, and Wukong’s arrival also made Zhao’s video clips more lively and vivid. In a world of constant wanting and stress, their simple journey shone brightly. People saw real innocence (天真) and freedom, making their own material lives seem pale. Then came the switch. Wukong suddenly died of uncertain reasons, and even to this day, there are many doubts surrounding his death, which was so unacceptable that people kept desperately asking why — but their cries were about more than a lost cat. Wukong’s death felt like the death of innocence itself. We long for safety, happiness, and warmth to last forever, like solid rocks. Wukong’s unexplained end destroyed that dream like lightning. It showed life’s cruel truth: everything is fragile, and fate is unpredictable. It left a heavy emptiness. Zhao Shuo drove 1,500 miles to bury Wukong back in Kanas. This long journey through grief was his valley of sorrow. The song” Dear You” cried out his pain — but the true strength from his action isn’t just tears. Facing severe loss, finding your way from the ruins, that is growth. By returning Wukong to Kanas Lake’s clear water, he touched life’s deepest truth: even when love is broken, its unseen bond remains strong. Wukong, that light feather, was blown away by the wind of change. He took our dream of perfect safety with him. Yet, he also lifted a veil (面纱): trying to hold happiness tight is like grasping sand — it slips away. True peace isn’t a high wall against life’s storms. It’s like Kanas Lake. After mountains, clouds, wind, and rain paint its surface, it stays clear and deep. It holds all changes yet still reflects the whole sky — embracing every cloud and bird. Life’s meaning isn’t found in castles built up with material accumulation, or in chasing forever-happiness. It lives in the wide field of the heart. Our deepest freedom and widest peace are found simply, not by avoiding loss, but by walking through its storm. Losing Wukong taught us this: accepting impermanence is the path to inner calm and the truest freedom. 1．What is the probable meaning of the underlined word in the second paragraph? A．impact B．threat C．encouragement D．attraction 2．The third paragraph primarily serves to ________. A．illustrate the contrast between idealism and severe reality B．mark a turning point in the narrative’s emotional tone C．criticize public skepticism towards unexpected events D．emphasize the medical mystery of Wukong’s death 3．What can be inferred from Zhao Shuo’s act of driving 1,500 miles to bury Wukong in Kanas? A．His journey symbolized a process of facing up to sadness and acceptance. B．He rejected the reality of impermanence through denial. C．He sought public sympathy through a dramatic action. D．His primary goal was to fulfill Wukong’s presumed last wish. 4．The author’s central message in the passage is that ________. A．material pursuits unavoidably lead to emptiness B．pet companionship is essential for emotional healing C．true freedom arises from embracing the ever-changing nature of life D．the fame gained from social media cannot relieve an enormous personal loss 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．A 4．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要通过讲述抖音骑行主播赵朔和他的猫悟空的故事，表达了真正的自由源于接受生活的无常。 【详解】38．词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“Zhao Shuo’s videos showed towering snow-capped mountains, winding rivers, and his fluffy cat, Wukong. (赵朔的视频里有巍峨的雪山、蜿蜒的河流和他毛茸茸的小猫悟空。)”和下文“they appealed to millions of tired city people (它们吸引着千百万疲惫的城里人)” 可推知这里把视频比作磁铁，磁铁是有吸力的，所以划线词与“attraction (吸引力)” 意思相近。故选D。 1．推理判断题。前两段描述了赵朔和悟空的美好旅程以及他们受到粉丝喜爱的情况，氛围是积极的。而第三段“Then came the switch. Wukong suddenly died of uncertain reasons, and even to this day, there are many doubts surrounding his death, which was so unacceptable that people kept desperately asking why — but their cries were about more than a lost cat. (然后发生了转变。悟空突然死亡，原因不明，直到今天，关于他的死亡仍有许多疑问，这让人难以接受，人们一直在拼命地问为什么，但他们的哭泣不仅仅是为了一只走失的猫。)”画风突变，情感基调从之前的美好、温馨转变为悲伤、沉重，所以推断出第三段主要标志着叙述情感基调的一个转折点。故选B。 2．推理判断题。根据第四段“This long journey through grief was his valley of sorrow. The song” Dear You” cried out his pain — but the true strength from his action isn’t just tears. Facing severe loss, finding your way from the ruins, that is growth. By returning Wukong to Kanas Lake’s clear water, he touched life’s deepest truth: even when love is broken, its unseen bond remains strong. (这段漫长的悲伤之旅是他的悲伤之谷。《亲爱的你》这首歌表达了他的痛苦，但他的行动所蕴含的真正力量不仅仅是眼泪。面对严重的损失，在废墟中找到自己的路，这就是成长。通过让悟空回到喀纳斯湖清澈的湖水中，他触及了生命中最深的真理：即使爱破裂，它看不见的纽带仍然牢固。)” 由此推断赵朔开车1500英里去埋葬悟空，这个旅程象征着他面对悲伤并接受现实的过程。故选A。 3．推理判断题。作者通过讲述了悟空的死亡以及赵朔的应对，以及最后一句“Losing Wukong taught us this: accepting impermanence is the path to inner calm and the truest freedom. (失去悟空教会了我们：接受无常是通往内心平静和真正自由的道路。)”可推断出作者的中心信息是真正的自由源于拥抱生活不断变化的本质。故选C。 Passage 4 （24-25高一下·四校联考·期末）Before breaking his back and injuring his spinal cord (脊髓)as a result of the fall from a high mountain in 2023, Darren Edwards’ dream had been to climb Mount Qomolangma one day. “I knew that Qomolangma was out for me after the accident, but I’m fortunate because I was able to take on some other great challenges with the support of some good friends,” Darren said. Earlier this year, Darren joined the first all-disabled team to move across Europe’s largest icecap, unsupported and unassisted, on a sit-ski. It was during this trip that he realised he was no longer battling against his limitations. Rather, he was enjoying a very special adventure, one that he was able to do though he was disabled. “This was when I started dreaming of an even bigger adventure — to complete the furthest journey on a sit-ski in the history of the South Pole exploration,” he said. Darren now skis for 10 to 12 hours every day. “I am not training to be able to go faster, but to make myself ready for an endurance (耐力)challenge because I need to cover 333 km in temperatures below-20℃ before reaching the South Pole,” he said. “But I am fairly pleased to have the opportunity to take on the sit-ski exploration, especially because for one year after my accident I did not imagine I would be able to take up such challenges.” He also believes that the adventure will provide inspiration for anyone who has a spinal injury or anyone who is struggling. Realising how fortunate he has been to be encouraged by others to take on new challenges and adventures, Darren and a friend have started a business, Adaptive Expeditions. “I know how much I have gained from being able to take on adventures that I never imagined would be possible due to the spinal cord injury. So we want to inspire individuals with disabilities by offering the same opportunities and impactful explorations to push their limits and discover their potential,” Darren said. 1．What did Darren learn from his sit-ski experience in Europe? A．Adventurous trips benefit disabled people. B．Physical disabilities never determine a person. C．The disabled deserve support and assistance. D．Teamwork leads to a successful journey. 2．Why does Darren train hard for his scheduled journey to the South Pole? A．To reduce his disability impact. B．To learn basic ski skills quickly. C．To prepare for physical limits. D．To improve his speed on the ski. 3．How does Darren feel about his upcoming trip to the South Pole? A．Positive and determined. B．Stressed and nervous. C．Relieved and encouraged. D．Worried and puzzled. 4．What does Darren want to do by founding Adaptive Expeditions? A．Encourage the disabled to make more friends. B．Teach the disabled to adapt to their daily life. C．Provide life-changing opportunities for the disabled. D．Help the disabled turn hobbies into work. 5．What lesson can we learn from Darren’s story? A．He who laughs in the end laughs best. B．What goes around comes around. C．Failure is the mother of success. D．Where there is a will, there is a way. 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．A 4．C 5．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。本文主要讲述了Darren Edwards在2023年从高山坠落导致背部受伤、脊髓受损后，依然坚持挑战自我，加入全残疾人团队完成欧洲最大冰盖的无支援穿越，并梦想完成南极探险史上最远的坐姿滑雪之旅。 1．推理判断题。根据文章第二段中的“It was during this trip that he realised he was no longer battling against his limitations. Rather, he was enjoying a very special adventure, one that he was able to do though he was disabled.(正是在这次旅行中，他意识到自己不再与自己的局限作斗争。相反，他正在享受一次非常特别的冒险，尽管他残疾了，但他还是能够完成这次冒险。)”可知，Darren从这次欧洲的坐姿滑雪经历中学到了身体残疾并不能决定一个人，他依然能够完成特别的冒险。因此，选项B“Physical disabilities never determine a person.(身体残疾从来不能决定一个人)”符合语境。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据文章第三段中的“I am not training to be able to go faster, but to make myself ready for an endurance (耐力) challenge because I need to cover 333 km in temperatures below -20℃ before reaching the South Pole,(我不是在训练以便能滑得更快，而是为了让自己为耐力挑战做好准备，因为我在到达南极之前需要在零下20℃的气温中滑行333公里。)”可知，Darren努力训练是为了为身体极限做准备。因此，选项C“To prepare for physical limits.(为了为身体极限做准备)”符合题意。故选C。 3．推理判断题。根据文章第三段中的“Darren now skis for 10 to 12 hours every day. “I am not training to be able to go faster, but to make myself ready for an endurance (耐力)challenge because I need to cover 333 km in temperatures below-20℃ before reaching the South Pole,” he said. (Darren现在每天滑雪10到12个小时。他说：“我不是为了跑得更快而训练，而是为了让自己为耐力挑战做好准备，因为在到达南极点之前，我需要在低于20℃的温度下跑333公里。”)”以及“But I am fairly pleased to have the opportunity to take on the sit-ski exploration, especially because for one year after my accident I did not imagine I would be able to take up such challenges.(但我很高兴有机会进行坐姿滑雪探险，尤其是因为在我出事后的一年里，我根本没有想到自己能够接受这样的挑战。)”以及本段中“He also believes that the adventure will provide inspiration for anyone who has a spinal injury or anyone who is struggling.(他还相信，这次冒险将为任何脊椎受伤或正在挣扎的人提供激励。)”可知，Darren对于这次比赛做好了准备，并且也很高兴有机会进行坐姿滑雪探险，并且他还相信这次冒险能够给其他人提供激励，因此对于即将到来的南极之旅感到积极和有决心。因此，选项A“Positive and determined.(积极和有决心的)”符合题意。故选A。 4．细节理解题。根据文章最后一段中的“So we want to inspire individuals with disabilities by offering the same opportunities and impactful explorations to push their limits and discover their potential,(因此，我们想通过提供同样的机会和影响深远的探险来激励残疾人，让他们挑战自己的极限，发现自己的潜力。)”可知，Darren创办Adaptive Expeditions的目的是为残疾人提供改变生活的机会。因此，选项C“Provide life-changing opportunities for the disabled.(为残疾人提供改变生活的机会)”符合题意。故选C。 5．推理判断题。通读全文可知，Darren在遭遇背部受伤和脊髓受损的重大挫折后，依然没有放弃，而是积极面对挑战，努力训练，并创办企业激励其他残疾人。他的故事告诉我们只要有决心和毅力，就一定能够找到实现目标的方法。因此，选项D“Where there is a will, there is a way.(有志者事竟成)”符合题意。故选D。 Passage 5 （24-25高一下·耀华中学·期末）During our four days in Sydney, the first thing on my wish list was to record the symbols of this city, the Sydney Opera House and Harbour Bridge, at sunset (日落). Thankfully, my family was very patient with me, as we watched the sunset over and over again while I recorded the exciting moments on my camera. We first arrived at the Queen Victoria Building, or QVB, which has been called one of the most beautiful places to go shopping. From the QVB we walked down to the Circular Quay, our first look at the Sydney Opera House and Harbour Bridge. Then the next day, we went to the Taronga Zoo, located across the harbour (港口) from the Circular Quay. There are many Australian animals as well as lions, tigers, and Asian elephants. The best part of the zoo is the ferry (渡船) ride to get there and the view along the way. For one of the best sunset views, we paid a visit to Mrs. Macquarie’s Chair, a famous viewpoint of the Sydney Harbour. I felt like a true photographer, making my very patient and understanding family wait in the cold for almost two hours while I filled my memory card with photos of the wonderful sunset. Our time had to come to an end. We spent our last night at the Sydney Opera House café, playing cards, drinking wine, and watching the sunset. If you would like to know where not to stay in Sydney, then do not go to the Central Railway Hotel. This hotel, one of the few that were cheap enough to fit into our budget, was loud, dirty, and crowded. We were always checking the windows, since so much noise was coming in from the streets. The only good thing was its location, being a five-minute walk from Central Station, a hub (中心) of Sydney. 1．What did the author want to do most in Sydney? A．Go shopping with his family. B．Visit the Sydney Opera House. C．Watch unique animals in Australia. D．Photograph famous structures at sunset. 2．What did the author think of his trip to Mrs. Macquarie’s Chair? A．It was record-breaking. B．It was a waste of time. C．It was worthwhile. D．It was very painful. 3．What made the author choose the Central Railway Hotel to stay? A．Its good location. B．Its quietness. C．Its low price. D．Its cleanness. 4．Which was the author’s travel route in Sydney? A．The QVB → the Sydney Opera House → the Taronga Zoo → Mrs. Macquarie’s Chair. B．The QVB → the Taronga Zoo → Mrs. Macquarie’s Chair → the Sydney Opera House. C．The Harbour Bridge → the Taronga Zoo → Mrs. Macquarie’s Chair → the QVB． D．The Circular Quay → the QVB → the Taronga Zoo → Mrs. Macquarie’s Chair. 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．C 4．B 【导语】本文是记叙文。作者在悉尼旅游时用相机记录了旅途风景，尤其是落日美景。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段中“During our four days in Sydney, the first thing on my wish list was to record the symbols of this city, the Sydney Opera House and Harbour Bridge, at sunset (日落). Thankfully, my family was very patient with me, as we watched the sunset over and over again while I recorded the exciting moments on my camera. (在悉尼的四天里，我的愿望清单上的第一件事就是记录下这个城市的象征，悉尼歌剧院和海港大桥，日落时分。谢天谢地，我的家人对我很有耐心，我们一遍又一遍地看日落，而我则用相机记录下激动人心的时刻)”可知，作者在悉尼最想做的事情是用相机记录落日下悉尼著名的建筑物。故选D。 2．推理判断题。根据第四段中的“I felt like a true photographer, making my very patient and understanding family wait in the cold for almost two hours while I filled my memory card with photos of the wonderful sunset.(我觉得自己是一个真正的摄影师，让我非常耐心和理解的家人在寒冷中等待了将近两个小时，而我的存储卡上则装满了美丽日落的照片)”可知，作者虽然在寒风中在麦考利夫人座椅那儿呆了两个多小时，但他拍到了很多落日美景，并感觉自己像是一名真正的摄影家，由此可推测，他认为到访麦考利夫人座椅不虚此行。故选C。 3．细节理解题。根据最后一段中“This hotel, one of the few that were cheap enough to fit into our budget, was loud, dirty, and crowded.(这家酒店是为数不多的几家便宜到能满足我们预算的酒店之一，噪音大，肮脏，拥挤)”可知，作者之所以选择该旅店是因为它的价格便宜。故选C。 4．细节理解题。根据第二段中“We first arrived at the Queen Victoria Building, or QVB(我们首先到达维多利亚女王大厦，简称QVB)”；第三段中的“Then the next day, we went to the Taronga Zoo(第二天，我们去了塔龙加动物园)”；第四段中的“For one of the best sunset views, we paid a visit to Mrs. Macquarie’s Chair(为了欣赏最美的日落景色，我们去了麦夸里夫人的椅子)”以及第五段中的“Our time had to come to an end. We spent our last night at the Sydney Opera House café(我们的时间到了。我们在悉尼歌剧院的咖啡馆度过了最后一晚)”可知，B项The QVB → the Taronga Zoo → Mrs. Macquarie’s Chair → the Sydney Opera House.是作者游览悉尼的路线。故选B。 / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
