The study divided 122 people from central Ohio who had depression, anxiety or stress into three groups. The first two groups were asked to follow methods often used in cognitive behavioral therapy (认知行为疗法) (CBT) for depression: planning social activities or cognitive reappraisal (重新评价). The social activities group was instructed to plan social activities for two days a week. Another group was instructed to write a diary for at least two days each week that helped them recognize their negative ways of viewing stressful situations and change their views in a way that could reduce depression and anxiety. Members of the third group were instructed to perform three acts of kindness — big or small acts that benefit others or make others happy — a day, for two days out of the week. Research volunteers followed their instructions for five weeks, after which their mental states were recorded. The researchers then checked with the volunteers after another five weeks to see if the methods were still effective. The findings, published in the Journal of Positive Psychology, showed that people in all three groups showed an increase in life satisfaction and a reduction of depression and anxiety levels after the study. “Compared with social activities and cognitive reappraisal, acts of kindness make people feel more connected to other people,” said David Cregg, who led the study at the Ohio State University. “Social connection is one of the parts of life most strongly linked with well-being or happiness. Performing acts of kindness seems to be one of the best ways to create those connections.” The research also showed why performing act s of kindness worked so well: It helped people take their minds off what causes their own depression or anxiety. This finding suggests that one view many people have about people with depression may be wrong. “We often think that people with depression have enough to deal with, so we don’t want to burden them by asking them to help others. But these results run counter to that,” Cregg said. 1．What did the social activities group do in the study? (no more than 10 words) 2．What did the researchers find after ten weeks? (no more than 15 words) 3．Why did performing acts of kindness work so well? (no more than 15 words) 4．What does the underlined part in the last paragraph mean?

It can find us doing and seeing new things, which can be challenging and even a little scary. So why does anyone even go there? On the one hand, volunteering is good for others. The world is not a perfect place, and many people, animals, places, and communities need help. Governments and professionals try to meet everyone’s needs, but it’s impossible for them to do it all. This is why people become volunteers: they can make a difference where someone or something needs help. If people never help each other and only care about themselves, the world becomes a crueler, sadder place. But when we volunteer our time, money or talents, we help to make our planet a better, happier home where people cooperate to make life easier for all. Actually, volunteers and volunteer groups can do many things. They can bring food to hungry people; they can find homes or clothes for those who need them; they can protect wildlife and natural areas; they can bring comfort and happiness to lonely people; and they can help people learn to read or do better in school. On the other hand, volunteering is good for you. Are you thinking, “What’s in it for me?” The answer is, plenty! Here are some of the things you might get in return for your giving. You may make new friends; you may gain important skills and experience that will help you later in life; you may make connections that can lead to a job or career; you may have fun. And most importantly, you may feel like you are part of a community! Hey…it looks like being a volunteer gives as much good stuff to you as it does to the people, places, or animals you’re trying to help! That’s the secret of volunteering. People who become volunteers usually lead richer, happier, and more satisfying lives than those who don’t volunteer. 1．Why do some people want to be volunteers according to Paragraph2? (no more than10 words) 2．What’s the 3rd paragraph mainly about? (no more than 10 words) 3．What’s the meaning of the underlined word “cooperate” in paragraph 2?  (no more than 5 words) 4．What will a volunteer’s life be like compared with those who don’t volunteer? (no more than 10 words) 5．What do you think of volunteering? (no more than 20 words) Passage 2 （24-25高一下·天津红桥·期末）阅读短文，按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 Gary McKee ran 365 marathons in as many days to raise funds for Macmillan Cancer Support and Hospice at Home West Cumbria. Gary McKee, 53, from Cleator Moor in Cumbria raised his arms in victory and was cheered by a crowd of supporters as he completed his 365th marathon of the year on New Year’s Eve. As of 4 pm on Saturday, he had raised more than £ 890,000 for the charities Macmillan Cancer Support and Hospice at Home West Cumbria, just shy of (缺少) his £1 million fundraising target. The father of three has gone through 22 pairs of sports shoes and has run 9,563 miles in rain, snow and sunshine to raise money for the charities. “The support has been amazing and it always is and the West Cumbrians get behind us, but cancer affects everybody so it isn’t just a West Cumbrian thing, it’s a national thing,” said Gary. “I just hope that people do get behind us and we do raise those million pounds.” Gary has not only raised money for two fantastic charities, but he has also sprinkled magic on the local community and brought people together to support him with the challenge. Chris Young, 29, ran 90 marathons with Mr. McKee. “Gary set a good example to me this year when I began running frequently with him and has given me both physical and mental resilience (适应力) that I don’t know if I would have ever discovered in myself in a million years. I know I don’t just speak for myself on that front as he has inspired not just me or the few, but the entire local community and beyond,” said Chris, “This challenge has raised a great amount of money for two fantastic charities, but the impact Gary has provided to the community and people around him is immeasurable. A lot of people’s lives will be much better off thanks to Gary’s efforts, mine included.” 1．What did Gary do when he completed his 365th marathon? (no more than 10 words) 2．What is Gary’s goal of running 365 marathons? (no more than 10 words) 3．How do you understand the underlined part in Paragraph 3?

There the rocks appear to be just thrown up onto the dirt as if someone were in a hurry to finish. Very often when we have more flowers, Denise or I would plant them between the rocks, just to bring some color to the area. Last summer I found, in the rock garden, a tiny little plant that I could not immediately recognize. I knew I didn’t plant it and Denise said she didn’t either. We decided to let it continue growing until we could find out what it was. Weeks passed and as I made my way back to the strange plant, it appeared to be a sunflower. It looked thin and tall with only one head on it. I decided to baby it along and weed (除草) around it. As I pulled rocks from the area to get to the weeds, I noticed something unusual. The sunflower had not started where I saw it begin. It actually had begun under a big rock and grown under and around it to reach the sun. If a tiny little sunflower didn’t let a big rock stand in its way of developing, we too have the ability to do the same thing. If we believe in ourselves like that little sunflower, we can reach where we aim to go and get what we need for growth. We need to believe in ourselves knowing we have the ability to achieve our goals. Like the sunflower, it knew it had the ability to get over the rocks because it had faith in itself that it would succeed. Stand tall like the sunflower and be proud of who and what we are, then other things will begin to support us. We will find a way to go under or around any “rocks” in order to realize our goals. 1．How did the yard in the author’s home look like at first? ( no more than 5 words) 2．Why did the author let the tiny plant continue growing? (no more than 10 words) 3．What does the underlined word in paragraph3 mean? (no more than 3 words) 4．What made the author think the sunflower was unusual? (no more than 15 words) 5．How does the sunflower inspire you? Please explain it in your own words.

While everyone in town said it was too dangerous, Sam remained determined. One clear morning, Sam put on his boots, packed a small bag with water, an apple, and his favorite cap. He told his dog, Buddy, “Today’s the day we make history, Buddy!” The climb began smoothly. Sam and Buddy followed a narrow road lined with wildflowers. But the weather quickly changed. Dark clouds rolled in, and a sharp wind began to blow. Sam thought about turning back but held onto his dream. “We can do this,” he said, encouraging Buddy as they pushed forward. As they climbed higher, the path disappeared. Sam faced a tough choice: take the rocky route or move through the thick woods. He chose the rocks, thinking it would be faster. Halfway up, he slipped and hurt his left foot. The pain was sharp, but Sam refused to give up. He rested for a moment, ate his apple, and shared pieces with Buddy. “We’re in this together,” he said with determination. The sky cleared as they reached the final part of the climb. It was beautiful. Sam forgot his pain, driven by the beauty around him. With Buddy’s help, pulling on Sam’s shirt, they finally reached the top. The sight was beyond words. He could see his town, the river, and beyond. “We did it, Buddy!” he shouted, his voice full of joy. Sam realized the climb was about more than reaching the top. It was about bravery, making tough choices, and never giving up, no matter what. He and Buddy made their way down, slower this time but full of stories to tell.

Louise Larcombe was studying for a Master’s in Public Health at the University of Melbourne when she started looking for a way to help out the local community. She decided to join the Heart of Carlton program run by Sports Without Borders in 2019. She is now in her third year of volunteering for the program. The program is designed to get school kids to connect with their local community through sports. It addresses a different theme each week for the children to learn about and discuss, such as a healthy diet, good sportsmanship, and teamwork. Larcombe said it can be quite a challenge for her because a classroom-of kids can be pretty wild after class, and they want to go play soccer instead of listening to her. Larcombe found it easy to get involved because sports naturally attracted her and she wanted to understand the effects of sports on a community directly. “Sport is a cool platform for improving health. People get the physical activity and it brings them together. It’s a good platform for health messaging,” she said. Larcombe believes the Heart of Carlton program is a great stepping stone for people to connect with the community. Sports Without Borders has a good support network, where teachers are involved from the get-go, and parents often lend their support. Meanwhile, it is also assisted by the R. E. Ross Trust and the Telco Together Foundation, helping primary school kids learn through sports. 1．What did Larcombe do as her mission in volunteering for the Heart of Carlton program in 2019? (no more than 12 words) 2．What bothered Larcombe in her volunteer work for the program? (no more than 12 words) 3．What is the role of sports in communities in Larcombe’s view?

The shark came right up under him and sank its teeth into his lower leg. As Mike struggled to free himself. the shark bit harder, shaking him violently. Mike followed his instinct: he punched (拳打) the shark in the face, again and again (which happens to be what the experts recommend) until the shark released him. Swimming to shore, Mike noticed his lower right leg was gone. His friends quickly applied a tourniquet (止血带) using his board leash (皮带), which doctors later said likely saved his life. It was another day before the“fog” lifted, at which point Mike opened his eyes and realized he was in hospital - a below-the-knee amputee (被截肢者). For the next few weeks while resting in bed, Mike spent time with his family, researched prosthetics (义肢) and considered the future. Once Mike was given the OK by his doctors, he did what many might consider unthinkable: He started riding the waves again. In fact, his first time back was near the site of his attack. But Mike was unshaken. Instead he was curious — why was he attacked? He remembered a fish y smell in the water that morning. Was that what attracted the shark? Mike’s curiosity led him to research sharks, and while he never figured out why he became a target, Mike did learn something that would change his life.·“Humans are far more dangerous to sharks than the other way around,” said Mike.“I watched a documentary called Sharkwater, and I learned about the demand for shark fin soup and the fact that 70 million sharks a. year are killed for their fins alone.” His unique situation as a shark survivor enabled him to give sharks a voice. He began working with the Hawaii state legislature (立法机构) to help pass a ban on shark-derived (鲨鱼衍生的) products. He partnered with other like-minded shark attack survivors and marine biologists, and they headed to Washington to urge senators to create a nationwide bill protecting sharks. He was also selected to speak to the United Nations about the importance of shark sanctuaries (保护区). 1．How did Mike manage to get rid of the shark? (no more than 10 words) 2．Why did Mike return to the site where he had been attacked originally? (no more than 10 words) 3．What shocking fact did Mike learn about sharks?

Volunteering at a food shelter when she was 14, and tasked with helping fill boxes for households in need with canned and packaged food, this Iowa teen felt that something was missing from the donated groceries: fresh vegetables. She shared with her parents her desire to start a garden on part of their family farm in Dixon, Iowa, to supply local families in need with fresh produce. Coming from a farming family, Lauren had some familiarity with agriculture, and had helped raise rabbits and lambs, but had never tried vegetable cultivation at scale, though the Schroeders plant soybeans and corn each year on their 150-acre farm. The work involved in realizing Lauren’s plan was no walk in the park. Initially, while proud of her daughter’s vision, her mother, Katie Shroeder, admitted having some misgivings about the work involved: “I was wondering, ‘Oh my gosh, how much work is this going to be? ‘ I wasn’t sure whether this would work.” This was one young change-maker, however! Lauren researched plants online, checking which species needed more shade, how much water was required, and when to harvest each crop. And during Iowa’s hot summers, she had to water her crops by hand for around 2-3 hours daily. She also checked daily for weeds, and bent down to pick her green bean crop. Thanks to her diligence, Lauren planted half an acre of land, with 15 varieties of vegetables in 2022, harvesting and weighing her first crops, with a first batch of 18kilograms. In 2023, Lauren doubled the size of her garden to an acre. Discussing her plans, The Washington Post reveals that Lauren would like to grow another 5,897 kilograms of produce, thus bringing her vegetables to 9,072 kilograms when it’s time for her to go to college in 2025. In an interview with a local media channel, Lauren says, “I wanted to have something that would impact people. I want to impact community members. Many people help you out, but it makes more difference when you help others out. That’s what makes me most happy.” 1．Why did Lauren Schroeder decide to start a garden on her family farm?

Fatema didn’t have anywhere to play volleyball when she arrived in Australia, so she worked with community leaders to set up after-school matches in the local area. The community volleyball matches continued for three months and allowed Fatema to show her qualities as a skillful team player and leader among her peers. Fatema believes that she needs to play in a professional club. However, as training sessions and matches are often in the evenings, the timing is not convenient for her because she can’t use public transport at that time. The club registration cost is also a problem. Fatema is a thoughtful girl and doesn’t want to put a financial strain on her family, so she continues to look for after-school work to earn money that could help cover the club registration costs and other expenses. While she hasn’t joined a volleyball club yet, Fatema has joined the Dandenong Women’s Sports Hub for volleyball sessions run by the Centre for Multicultural Youth after school. Moslih, the coach, is inspired by her positive attitude towards various challenges since Fatema arrived in Australia. Moslih said,“I have seen Fatema in every volleyball class we’ve had! Fatema has proven to me how determined she is to realize her dream of playing volleyball, and it just makes me want to support her in every way that I can.

He helped many people in Nairobi, Kenya, to get enough food during the coronavirus pandemic (新冠大流行). Pankaj Shah met Mother Teresa after her pickup truck hit his car when he was just a young, wild businessman finding his way in life 30 years ago. The two became friends, and then he volunteered with her for three months. Mother Teresa has passed away, but her mission to help the poor lives on in Pankaj and countless others. When the coronavirus pandemic hit Africa, Pankaj stopped his business at his company and turned his attention to those around him. “I think about what she would do,” he explained. “That’s the inspiration for the rest of my life.” So Pankaj brought his friends together and transformed a school into a center for handing out supplies. Then he began asking the nation’s wealthiest people and private businesses for donations. With schools and businesses closed and no work for the young people who support their families, many Kenyans have stayed inside without enough food. Kenya’s large Asian community also stepped up to help, bringing in loads of vegetables and other produce before the outbreak began. Under Pankaj’s leadership, volunteers formed Team Pankaj and began putting hampers (餐篮) together that are designed to feed families in need for up to five weeks. “One old woman told us she hadn’t eaten for days,” Pankaj said. “People were getting hungry and angry.” After just three weeks, they were able to send out more than 24,000 food hampers! Mother Teresa once said, “If you can’t feed a hundred people, then feed just one.” Her lifelong mission was to serve the poor through acts of kindness and generosity.

I can still remember my first visit to the farm. I'd wanted to be allowed to climb the stonewalls. But my parents would never approve, because the walls were old, and some stones were missing. I was still eager to climb it, so I asked for their permission. “Can I climb the stonewalls?” I asked nervously. At this moment, my parents sill didn't agree. Before I left the room sadly, my grandfather said, “Let the boy climb the stonewalls. He has to learn to do things for himself.” It took me about two hours to climb those stonewalls. Later I met with my grandfather to tell him about my adventure. I’ll never forget what he said. “Mike, you made this day a special day just by being yourself. Always remember, there's only one person in this whole world like you, and I like you exactly as you are.” Today I host the television program Mister Roger’s Neighborhood, which is liked by millions of children throughout America. There have been changes over the years, but one thing remains the same: my message to children at the end of every visit, “There's only one person in this whole world like you, and people can like you exactly as you are.” 1．Where is Mike’s grandfather's farm? (no more than 5 words) 2．What does the underlined word “approve” in Paragraph 2 mean in English? (no more than 1 word) 3．How long did the author spend climbing the stonewalls? (no more than 5 words) 4．According to the passage, who would like to watch the author's program? (no more than 10words) 5．What does the author want to tell us through this story?

Students from seven different primary schools in and around the small town were warming up and walking the route through thick evergreen forest. I looked around and finally spotted David, who was standing by himself off to the side by a fence. He was small for a ten-year-old. His usual big toothy smile was absent today. I walked over and asked him why he wasn’t with the other children. He hesitated and then said he had decided not to run. What was wrong? He had worked so hard for this event! I quickly searched the crowd for the school’s coach and asked him what had happened. “I was afraid that kids from other schools would laugh at him,” he explained uncomfortably. “I gave him the choice to run or not, and let him decide.” I bit back my frustration(懊恼,沮丧). I knew the coach meant well—he thought he was doing the right thing. After making sure that David could run if he wanted, I turned to find him coming towards me, his eyes suddenly bright with determination. “I want to run,” he declared, straightening his small shoulders. His body rocked from side to side as he swung his feet forward. David had a brain disease which prevented him from walking or running like other children, but at school his classmates thought of him as a regular kid. He always participated to the best of his ability in whatever they were doing. That was why none of the children thought it unusual that David had decided to join the cross-country team. It just took him longer—that’s all. David had not missed a single practice, and although he always finished his run long after the other children, he did always finish. As a special education teacher at the school, I was familiar with the challenges David faced and was proud of his strong determination. David moved up to the starting line with the other runners. The race started. The route seemed long, especially for a child with a brain disease. David insisted on running as if he had forgotten all his weaknesses. He tripped within the first few kilometers but quickly picked himself up and continued. Classmates cheered, “Come on! You can make it! We’re proud of you!” To everyone’s joy, he reached the finish line and ranked 20th. It wasn’t important whether he won first place. It was his brave heart and strong faith that made something unusual happen. 1．Why was David standing alone by the fence? (no more than 10 words) 2．What does the underlined part mean in Paragraph 2? (no more than 5 words) 3．How did David’s classmates view him at school? (no more than 10 words) 4．What does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about? (no more than 10 words) 5．How does David’s story inspire you? Please explain in your own words. (no more than 20 words) Passage 8 （24-25高一下·天津滨海新·期末）阅读短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 It was a few years ago. A friend had sent me a restaurant gift card for Christmas and I picked a pretty, sunny Sunday afternoon to use it. It felt good taking my two grown sons and daughter to a nice sit-down restaurant instead of the fast-food places we usually ate at. The meal was delicious and we all had a good time. When the waitress brought the check, I looked down at it. The gift card covered almost all of it. I reached into my wallet to get enough cash to cover the rest. I saw two bills in the front of it. The first would cover the rest of the bill and give the waitress a nice tip. The second bill was much larger so I reached down to pick out the first one. At that moment my mind flashed back to 30 years ago. I was working as a helper in a restaurant much like the one. It was long hours of hard work for low pay. I went home just barely making enough to feed my young family. I also remembered how more than once I saw the waitress counting their meager tips while worrying about how they were going to pay the rent and other things. I remembered the pain and sadness in their eyes at the end of the day. I blinked and was back in the present again. My fingers touched the smaller bill in my wallet. I smiled, pushed it back down and picked out the much larger bill. I folded it around the gift card and covered both of them with the check. As we all got up from the table, I handed them to the hard-working waitress. “You keep the change,” I said with a smile and a happy heart. We are all one family in this world. We live together, laugh together and suffer together. Do your best to be a good person and love others. Replace the suffering with joy. 1．Why did the author initially want to use the first bill to pay? (no more than 15words) 2．How do you understand the underlined word in Paragraph 2? (no more than 3words) 3．What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about? (no more than 8 words) 4．What kind of person is the author? (no more than 5 words) 5．What was the last time you did a good deed? Please explain it in your own words.

Lily was a kind-hearted soul, but her lack of self-assurance often led her to doubt her own beauty and worth. One sunny day, as Lily wandered through the streets of Charmington, she came across a charming little shop filled with shining hair accessories (配饰). Among the treasures, her eyes were attracted by a lovely bow (蝴蝶结) that seemed to callout to her. Despite her hesitation, something inside Lily told her to take a small act of self-expression and pay for the bow. She bought it and gently put it in her hair. At that very moment, a magical transformation took place. Lily felt a burst of confidence, as if the bow had given her a newfound confidence and charm. Excited about her new accessory, Lily confidently walked down the busy streets of Charmington, unaware that the bow had slipped and dropped unnoticed from her hair. Her newfound confidence made her feel beautiful inside and out. As Lily walked, something amazing began to happen. People passing by couldn’t help but notice her beauty, the warmth that shined from herself. Strangers smiled at her, complimenting her on her look and bright smile. Confused by their compliments, Lily touched her hair, only to realize that the bow was missing. Instead of feeling embarrassed or disheartened, she couldn’t help but be amazed by the power of her own confidence. Lily began to understand that true beauty lies not in outside decorations but in self-assurance and grace. It was her confidence that had caught the attention and admiration of those around her. 1．What was the biggest challenge for Lily? (No more than 15 words.) 2．What happened to Lily’s new bow?(No more than 10 words.) 3．What does the underlined word “complimenting” probably mean? (Only 1 word.) 4．According to the passage, what is the true beauty? (No more than 15 words.) 5．In your opinion, how to build your own confidence? (No more than 20 words.) Passage 10 （23-24高一下·天津滨海新区·期末） 阅读短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 Six days a week, up and down the red hills of northeast Georgia, my grandfather brought the mail to the folks there. At age 68, he retired from the post office, but he never stopped serving the community. On his 80th birthday, I sent him a letter, noting the things we all should be thankful for — good health, good friends and good outcomes. By most measurements he was a happy man. Then I suggested it was time for him to slow down. At long last, in a comfortable home, with a generous pension, he should learn to take things easy. “Thank you for your nice words,” he wrote in his letter back, “and I know what you meant, but slowing down scares me. Life isn’t having it made; it’s getting it made.” “The finest and happiest years of our lives were not when all the debts were paid, and all difficult experiences had passed, and we had settled into a comfortable home. No. I go back years ago, when we lived in a three-room house, when we got up before daylight and worked till after dark to make ends meet. I rarely had more than four hours of sleep. But what I still can’t figure out is why I never got tired, never felt better in my life. I guess the answer is, we were fighting for survival, protecting and providing for those we loved. What matters are not the great moments, but the partial victories, the waiting, and even the defeats. It’s the journey, not the arrival, that counts.” The letter ended with a personal request: “Boy, on my next birthday, just tell me to wake up and get going, because I will have one less year to do things — and there are ten million things waiting to be done.” Christina Rossetti, an English poet, once said: “Does the road wind uphill all the way? Yes, to the very end.” Today, at 96, my grandfather is still on that long road, climbing. 1．What was the author’s grandfather before he retired? (no more than 5 words) 2．What did the author advise his grandfather to do in his letter? (no more than 10 words) 3．What is the grandfather’s view on life according to his letter back?

The study divided 122 people from central Ohio who had depression, anxiety or stress into three groups. The first two groups were asked to follow methods often used in cognitive behavioral therapy (认知行为疗法) (CBT) for depression: planning social activities or cognitive reappraisal (重新评价). The social activities group was instructed to plan social activities for two days a week. Another group was instructed to write a diary for at least two days each week that helped them recognize their negative ways of viewing stressful situations and change their views in a way that could reduce depression and anxiety. Members of the third group were instructed to perform three acts of kindness — big or small acts that benefit others or make others happy — a day, for two days out of the week. Research volunteers followed their instructions for five weeks, after which their mental states were recorded. The researchers then checked with the volunteers after another five weeks to see if the methods were still effective. The findings, published in the Journal of Positive Psychology, showed that people in all three groups showed an increase in life satisfaction and a reduction of depression and anxiety levels after the study. “Compared with social activities and cognitive reappraisal, acts of kindness make people feel more connected to other people,” said David Cregg, who led the study at the Ohio State University. “Social connection is one of the parts of life most strongly linked with well-being or happiness. Performing acts of kindness seems to be one of the best ways to create those connections.” The research also showed why performing act s of kindness worked so well: It helped people take their minds off what causes their own depression or anxiety. This finding suggests that one view many people have about people with depression may be wrong. “We often think that people with depression have enough to deal with, so we don’t want to burden them by asking them to help others. But these results run counter to that,” Cregg said. 1．What did the social activities group do in the study? (no more than 10 words) 2．What did the researchers find after ten weeks? (no more than 15 words) 3．Why did performing acts of kindness work so well? (no more than 15 words) 4．What does the underlined part in the last paragraph mean? (no more than 5 words) 5．Of the three methods of reducing depression in the text, which one do you prefer? Please explain. (no more than 20 words). 【答案】1．They planned social activities for two days a week. 2．People in all three groups felt better. Or: Their methods worked effectively on three groups. 3．Because it helped people take their minds off what causes their won depression or anxiety. 4．Are the opposite of. 5．I prefer to perform acts of kindness. It is an easy way to connect with others and make everyone smile. Or: I prefer cognitive reappraisal. Because it makes me calm down and rethink the bad situation from a different perspective. 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了一项新研究表明，患有抑郁或焦虑的人可以通过为他人做好事来恢复健康，并详细说明了研究的分组、过程、结果及意义。 1．考查细节理解。根据第三段中“The social activities group was instructed to plan social activities for two days a week. (社交活动组被要求每周安排两天的社交活动。)”可知，社交活动组在研究中每周安排两天的社交活动。故答案为They planned social activities for two days a week. 2．考查细节理解。根据第四段中“The findings, published in the Journal of Positive Psychology, showed that people in all three groups showed an increase in life satisfaction and a reduction of depression and anxiety levels after the study. (研究结果发表在《积极心理学杂志》上，显示三组受试者在研究结束后生活满意度均有所提高，抑郁和焦虑水平有所降低。)”可知，十周后研究人员发现三组受试者的生活满意度均有所提高，抑郁和焦虑水平有所降低，即三组受试者的情况均有所改善或三种方法均有效。故答案为People in all three groups felt better. Or: Their methods worked effectively on three groups. 3．考查细节理解。根据倒数第二段中“The research also showed why performing acts of kindness worked so well: It helped people take their minds off what causes their own depression or anxiety. (研究还揭示了为什么行善效果如此之好：它帮助人们转移注意力，不再纠结于导致自身抑郁或焦虑的原因。)”可知，行善效果如此之好的原因是它帮助人们转移注意力，不再纠结于导致自身抑郁或焦虑的原因。故答案为Because it helped people take their minds off what causes their own depression or anxiety. 4．考查词句猜测。根据最后一段中划线词所在句“We often think that people with depression have enough to deal with, so we don’t want to burden them by asking them to help others. But these results run counter to that (我们常常认为抑郁症患者已经承受了太多，所以不想让他们再通过帮助他人来增加负担。但这些结果却与此run counter to)”可知，我们原本认为不应该让抑郁症患者帮助他人，但研究结果却表明这样做是有益的，即与我们的想法相反，所以“run counter to”意为“与……相反”。故答案为Are the opposite of. 5．考查开放题。本题为开放题，言之有理即可。 示例一：根据倒数第三段中David Cregg 所说的“Compared with social activities and cognitive reappraisal, acts of kindness make people feel more connected to other people (与社交活动和认知重新评价相比，善意行为让人们感觉与他人的联系更紧密）”可知，我更喜欢行善，因为这是一种与他人建立联系的简单方式，能让每个人都微笑。故答案为I prefer to perform acts of kindness. It is an easy way to connect with others and make everyone smile. 示例二：根据第三段中“Another group was instructed to write a diary for at least two days each week that helped them recognize their negative ways of viewing stressful situations and change their views in a way that could reduce depression and anxiety. (另一组被要求每周至少写两天日记，帮助他们认识到自己看待压力情境的消极方式，并以一种能够减少抑郁和焦虑的方式改变自己的观点。)”可知，我更喜欢认知重新评价，因为它能让我冷静下来，从不同的角度重新思考糟糕的情况。故答案为I prefer cognitive reappraisal. Because it makes me calm down and rethink the bad situation from a different perspective. 志愿者活动 Passage 1 （24-25高一下·天津河东·期末）阅读下面的短文，请根据短文后的要求答题。 Volunteering takes up our time, energy, and sometimes money. It can be hard work. It can find us doing and seeing new things, which can be challenging and even a little scary. So why does anyone even go there? On the one hand, volunteering is good for others. The world is not a perfect place, and many people, animals, places, and communities need help. Governments and professionals try to meet everyone’s needs, but it’s impossible for them to do it all. This is why people become volunteers: they can make a difference where someone or something needs help. If people never help each other and only care about themselves, the world becomes a crueler, sadder place. But when we volunteer our time, money or talents, we help to make our planet a better, happier home where people cooperate to make life easier for all. Actually, volunteers and volunteer groups can do many things. They can bring food to hungry people; they can find homes or clothes for those who need them; they can protect wildlife and natural areas; they can bring comfort and happiness to lonely people; and they can help people learn to read or do better in school. On the other hand, volunteering is good for you. Are you thinking, “What’s in it for me?” The answer is, plenty! Here are some of the things you might get in return for your giving. You may make new friends; you may gain important skills and experience that will help you later in life; you may make connections that can lead to a job or career; you may have fun. And most importantly, you may feel like you are part of a community! Hey…it looks like being a volunteer gives as much good stuff to you as it does to the people, places, or animals you’re trying to help! That’s the secret of volunteering. People who become volunteers usually lead richer, happier, and more satisfying lives than those who don’t volunteer. 1．Why do some people want to be volunteers according to Paragraph2? (no more than10 words) 2．What’s the 3rd paragraph mainly about? (no more than 10 words) 3．What’s the meaning of the underlined word “cooperate” in paragraph 2?  (no more than 5 words) 4．What will a volunteer’s life be like compared with those who don’t volunteer? (no more than 10 words) 5．What do you think of volunteering? (no more than 20 words) 【答案】1．To make a difference where someone or something needs help. 2．Volunteers and volunteer groups can do many things / Things people can do as volunteers. 3．Work together. 4．Richer, happier, and more satisfying./ It will be richer, happier, and more satisfying. 5．I think it’s good. Being volunteers, we can get a lot in return for our giving. 【分析】本文为一篇说明文，介绍了成为志愿者和参与志愿组织的好处。 【详解】1.考查细节理解。根据文章第二段“This is why people become volunteers: they can make a difference where someone or something needs help.（这就是为什么人们成为志愿者：当某人或某事需要帮助时，他们可以发挥作用。）”可知，人们想要成为志愿者是希望自己能在某人或某物需要帮助时发挥作用。故答案为To make a difference where someone or something needs help. 2.考查主旨大意。根据文章第三段“Actually, volunteers and volunteer groups can do many things.（事实上，志愿者和志愿者组织可以做很多事情。）”可知，第三段描述志愿者和志愿组织能做许多事情，并描述了对应的事情。故答案为Volunteers and volunteer groups can do many things / Things people can do as volunteers. 3.考查词义猜测。根据文章第二段“If people never help each other and only care about themselves, the world becomes a crueler, sadder place. But when we volunteer our time, money or talents, we help to make our planet a better, happier home（如果人们从不互相帮助，只关心自己，这个世界就会变得更加残酷，更加悲伤。但当我们自愿奉献我们的时间、金钱或才华时，我们帮助我们的地球成为一个更美好、更幸福的家园）”可知，cooperate与only care about themselves意思相反，此处表示与他人一起“协作、合作”。故答案为Work together. 4.考查细节理解。根据文章最后一段“People who become volunteers usually lead richer, happier, and more satisfying lives than those who don’t volunteer.（那些成为志愿者的人通常比那些不做志愿者的人过着更富有、更快乐、更满意的生活。）”可知，与不进行志愿活动的人相比，志愿者的生活会变得更富有、更快乐、更令人满意。故答案为Richer, happier, and more satisfying./ It will be richer, happier, and more satisfying. 5.考查推理判断。根据文章最后一段“Hey…it looks like being a volunteer gives as much good stuff to you as it does to the people, places, or animals you’re trying to help!（ 嘿... 看起来志愿者给你的好东西，和给你想帮助的人，地方，动物的一样多 ）”并结合全文大意可知，本文描写了做志愿活动的好处，因此，可以先说明志愿活动是有好处的，并说明原因，如，作为志愿者，我们可以从付出中得到很多回报。故答案为I think it’s good. Being volunteers, we can get a lot in return for our giving.

Gary McKee, 53, from Cleator Moor in Cumbria raised his arms in victory and was cheered by a crowd of supporters as he completed his 365th marathon of the year on New Year’s Eve. As of 4 pm on Saturday, he had raised more than £ 890,000 for the charities Macmillan Cancer Support and Hospice at Home West Cumbria, just shy of (缺少) his £1 million fundraising target. The father of three has gone through 22 pairs of sports shoes and has run 9,563 miles in rain, snow and sunshine to raise money for the charities. “The support has been amazing and it always is and the West Cumbrians get behind us, but cancer affects everybody so it isn’t just a West Cumbrian thing, it’s a national thing,” said Gary. “I just hope that people do get behind us and we do raise those million pounds.” Gary has not only raised money for two fantastic charities, but he has also sprinkled magic on the local community and brought people together to support him with the challenge. Chris Young, 29, ran 90 marathons with Mr. McKee. “Gary set a good example to me this year when I began running frequently with him and has given me both physical and mental resilience (适应力) that I don’t know if I would have ever discovered in myself in a million years. I know I don’t just speak for myself on that front as he has inspired not just me or the few, but the entire local community and beyond,” said Chris, “This challenge has raised a great amount of money for two fantastic charities, but the impact Gary has provided to the community and people around him is immeasurable. A lot of people’s lives will be much better off thanks to Gary’s efforts, mine included.” 1．What did Gary do when he completed his 365th marathon?

(53岁的加里·麦基来自坎布里亚郡的克利托摩尔，他在新年前夕完成了今年的第365场马拉松比赛，他举起双臂庆祝胜利，并受到了一群支持者的欢呼)”可知，加里完成第365次马拉松比赛时，他举起双臂表示胜利。故答案为：He raised his arms in victory. 2．考查细节理解。由第一段“Gary McKee ran 365 marathons in as many days to raise funds for Macmillan Cancer Support and Hospice at Home West Cumbria. (加里·麦基为西坎布里亚郡麦克米伦癌症支持和临终关怀中心筹集资金)”和第二段中的“As of 4 pm on Saturday, he had raised more than £ 890,000 for the charities Macmillan Cancer Support and Hospice at Home West Cumbria, just shy of (缺少) his £1 million fundraising target. (截至周六下午4点，他已为位于西坎布里亚郡的麦克米伦癌症支持和临终关怀慈善机构筹集了超过89万英镑，仅略低于他100万英镑的筹款目标)”可知，加里跑365场马拉松的目标是为慈善事业筹集100万英镑或为慈善事业筹集资金。故答案为：To raise £1 million for charities. / To raise funds for charities. 3．考查词句猜测。由第三段中的“Gary has not only raised money for two fantastic charities, but he has also sprinkled magic on the local community and brought people together to support him with the challenge. (加里不仅为两个很棒的慈善机构筹集了资金，he has also sprinkled magic on the local community，并将人们聚集在一起支持他应对挑战)”和第四段中的“Chris Young, 29, ran 90 marathons with Mr. McKee. (29岁的克里斯·杨和麦基一起跑了90场马拉松)”及“I know I don’t just speak for myself on that front as he has inspired not just me or the few, but the entire local community and beyond (我知道我不仅仅是在这方面为自己说话，因为他不仅激励了我或少数人，也激励了整个当地社区和其他人)”可知，加里的行为将人们聚集在一起支持他应对挑战，激励了社区里的其他人或邻居加入他的行列，可得出画线句意为“他激励了社区里的其他人加入他的行列或他还鼓励他的邻居加入他的行列”。故答案为：He has inspired others in his community to join him. / He has also inspired his neighbors to join him. 4．考查细节理解。由第四段中的“Gary set a good example to me this year when I began running frequently with him and has given me both physical and mental resilience (适应力) that I don’t know if I would have ever discovered in myself in a million years.

We have a yard a “rock garden”. There the rocks appear to be just thrown up onto the dirt as if someone were in a hurry to finish. Very often when we have more flowers, Denise or I would plant them between the rocks, just to bring some color to the area. Last summer I found, in the rock garden, a tiny little plant that I could not immediately recognize. I knew I didn’t plant it and Denise said she didn’t either. We decided to let it continue growing until we could find out what it was. Weeks passed and as I made my way back to the strange plant, it appeared to be a sunflower. It looked thin and tall with only one head on it. I decided to baby it along and weed (除草) around it. As I pulled rocks from the area to get to the weeds, I noticed something unusual. The sunflower had not started where I saw it begin. It actually had begun under a big rock and grown under and around it to reach the sun. If a tiny little sunflower didn’t let a big rock stand in its way of developing, we too have the ability to do the same thing. If we believe in ourselves like that little sunflower, we can reach where we aim to go and get what we need for growth. We need to believe in ourselves knowing we have the ability to achieve our goals. Like the sunflower, it knew it had the ability to get over the rocks because it had faith in itself that it would succeed. Stand tall like the sunflower and be proud of who and what we are, then other things will begin to support us. We will find a way to go under or around any “rocks” in order to realize our goals. 1．How did the yard in the author’s home look like at first? ( no more than 5 words) 2．Why did the author let the tiny plant continue growing? (no more than 10 words) 3．What does the underlined word in paragraph3 mean? (no more than 3 words) 4．What made the author think the sunflower was unusual? (no more than 15 words) 5．How does the sunflower inspire you? Please explain it in your own words. (no more than 25 words) 【答案】1．It was full of rock. Or: It was rocky and dirty. 2．To find out /see what it actually was. 3．Look after/Take care of. 4．It actually begun under a big rock and grew to reach the sun. 5．In my opinion, we believe in ourselves like that little sunflower, we can reach where we aim to go and get what we need for growth. 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。短文叙述了作者看到一颗向日葵从一块大石头下开始生长而产生的感悟。 1．考查细节理解题。根据第一段“We have a yard a “rock garden”. There the rocks appear to be just thrown up onto the dirt as if someone were in a hurry to finish.”（ 我们有一个院子，叫做“岩石花园”。在那里，岩石似乎是刚刚被扔到泥土上的，好像有人在匆忙完成的花园。）可知，起初，作者家的院子多岩石，很脏。故回答为：It was full of rock. Or: It was rocky and dirty. 2．考查细节理解题。根据第二段“We decided to let it continue growing until we could find out what it was.”（我们决定让它继续生长，直到我们发现它是什么。）可知，作者让这种小植物继续生长是为了看看这个植物是什么。故回答为：To find out /see what it actually was. 3．考查词句猜测题。根据第三段“weed (除草) around it.”（除掉周围的草）可知，我决定照顾它。故划线词的意思是“照顾”。故回答为：Look after/Take care of. 4．考查细节理解题。根据第三段“The sunflower had not started where I saw it begin. It actually had begun under a big rock and grown under and around it to reach the sun.”（ 向日葵还没有从我看到的地方开始生长。它实际上是从一块大石头下开始的，在它下面和周围生长，直到到达太阳。）可知，“它实际上是从一块大石头下开始的，在它下面和周围生长，直到到达太阳”让作者认为向日葵与众不同。故回答为：It actually begun under a big rock and grew to reach the sun. 5．考查开放性试题。根据最后一段“We need to believe in ourselves knowing we have the ability to achieve our goals. Like the sunflower, it knew it had the ability to get over the rocks because it had faith in itself that it would succeed.”（我们需要相信自己，知道我们有能力实现我们的目标。就像向日葵一样，它知道自己有能力越过岩石，因为它相信自己会成功。）可知，在我看来，我们像那朵小向日葵一样相信自己，我们可以到达我们的目标，得到我们成长所需的东西。故回答为：In my opinion, we believe in ourselves like that little sunflower, we can reach where we aim to go and get what we need for growth. Passage 2 （24-25高一下·天津西青·期末）阅读下列短文并回答问题。 Sam, a young boy from a small town, dreamed of climbing the big mountain he could see from his bedroom window. While everyone in town said it was too dangerous, Sam remained determined. One clear morning, Sam put on his boots, packed a small bag with water, an apple, and his favorite cap. He told his dog, Buddy, “Today’s the day we make history, Buddy!” The climb began smoothly. Sam and Buddy followed a narrow road lined with wildflowers. But the weather quickly changed. Dark clouds rolled in, and a sharp wind began to blow. Sam thought about turning back but held onto his dream. “We can do this,” he said, encouraging Buddy as they pushed forward. As they climbed higher, the path disappeared. Sam faced a tough choice: take the rocky route or move through the thick woods. He chose the rocks, thinking it would be faster. Halfway up, he slipped and hurt his left foot. The pain was sharp, but Sam refused to give up. He rested for a moment, ate his apple, and shared pieces with Buddy. “We’re in this together,” he said with determination. The sky cleared as they reached the final part of the climb. It was beautiful. Sam forgot his pain, driven by the beauty around him. With Buddy’s help, pulling on Sam’s shirt, they finally reached the top. The sight was beyond words. He could see his town, the river, and beyond. “We did it, Buddy!” he shouted, his voice full of joy. Sam realized the climb was about more than reaching the top. It was about bravery, making tough choices, and never giving up, no matter what. He and Buddy made their way down, slower this time but full of stories to tell.

Passage 1 （24-25高一下·天津和平·期末）阅读短文，按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 The students of Carlton Primary School are treated to an after-school program once a week to learn how to keep healthy and get along with the community through playing sports. Louise Larcombe was studying for a Master’s in Public Health at the University of Melbourne when she started looking for a way to help out the local community. She decided to join the Heart of Carlton program run by Sports Without Borders in 2019. She is now in her third year of volunteering for the program. The program is designed to get school kids to connect with their local community through sports. It addresses a different theme each week for the children to learn about and discuss, such as a healthy diet, good sportsmanship, and teamwork. Larcombe said it can be quite a challenge for her because a classroom-of kids can be pretty wild after class, and they want to go play soccer instead of listening to her. Larcombe found it easy to get involved because sports naturally attracted her and she wanted to understand the effects of sports on a community directly. “Sport is a cool platform for improving health. People get the physical activity and it brings them together. It’s a good platform for health messaging,” she said. Larcombe believes the Heart of Carlton program is a great stepping stone for people to connect with the community. Sports Without Borders has a good support network, where teachers are involved from the get-go, and parents often lend their support. Meanwhile, it is also assisted by the R. E. Ross Trust and the Telco Together Foundation, helping primary school kids learn through sports. 1．What did Larcombe do as her mission in volunteering for the Heart of Carlton program in 2019? (no more than 12 words) 2．What bothered Larcombe in her volunteer work for the program? (no more than 12 words) 3．What is the role of sports in communities in Larcombe’s view? (no more than 15 words) 4．What is the meaning of the underlined phrase “stepping stone” in the last paragraph? (no more than 5 words) 5．Besides sports, what activities help connect you with your community? Please explain it in your own words. (no more than 20 words) 【答案】1．She connected pupils with their community using sports./She helped school kids connect with the community through sports. 2．That the kids were wild and didn’t want to listen to her/ preferred playing soccer to listening./ Managing energetic kids preferring soccer over discussions. 3．Improving people’s health, connecting people and getting them to share health information./ Sports unite people, promote health, and spread health messages./ Sports improve health and bring people together in communities. 4．Bridge/ Means/ Gateway/Foundation/ Starting point/Initial (First) step/Springboard. 5．Holding book sales where you can buy books at a favorable price and make friends with community members./Volunteering for community service helps me connect with my community by helping others and building relationships. 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了Larcombe通过体育项目助力小学生融入社区的相关事迹。 1．考查细节理解。根据第二段中“The program is designed to get school kids to connect with their local community through sports.(该项目旨在让学生通过体育运动与当地社区建立联系)”以及“She decided to join the Heart of Carlton program run by Sports Without Borders in 2019. She is now in her third year of volunteering for the program.(2019年，她决定加入由体育无国界组织运营的“Heart of Carlton”项目。她现在已经是这个项目的第三年志愿者了)”可知，Larcombe在2019年作为志愿者参与“Heart of Carlton”项目的使命是通过体育帮助小学生与社区建立联系。故答案为She connected pupils with their community using sports./ She helped school kids connect with the community through sports. 2．考查细节理解。根据第三段中“Larcombe said it can be quite a challenge for her because a classroom-of kids can be pretty wild after class, and they want to go play soccer instead of listening to her.(Larcombe说，这对她来说是一个相当大的挑战，因为一个教室的孩子在课后可能会非常狂野，他们想去踢足球，而不是听她讲课)”可知，在参与项目时，让Larcombe感到困扰的是孩子们很狂野，不想听她讲课，而是想去踢足球。故答案为That the kids were wild and didn’t want to listen to her/preferred playing soccer to listening./Managing energetic kids preferring soccer over discussions. 3．考查细节理解。根据第四段中“Sport is a cool platform for improving health. People get the physical activity and it brings them together. It’s a good platform for health messaging(运动是一个改善健康的很好的平台。人们进行体育活动，它把他们聚集在一起。这是一个很好的健康信息传播平台)”可知，在Larcombe看来，体育运动在社区中可以改善人们的健康，将人们联系在一起，并让人们分享健康信息。故答案为Improving people’s health, connecting people and getting them to share health information./Sports unite people, promote health, and spread health messages./Sports improve health and bring people together in communities. 4．考查词句猜测。根据上文“Larcombe believes the Heart of Carlton program is a great(Larcombe认为Heart of Carlton项目是一个很好的)”以及后文“for people to connect with the community(人们与社区建立联系)”可知，Larcombe认为Heart of Carlton项目是一个很好的人们与社区建立联系的途径，即“垫脚石”，故stepping stone意思与“纽带，方法，途径，基础，起点，跳板”相近。故答案为Bridge/ Means/ Gateway/ Foundation/Starting point/ Initial (First) step/ Springboard. 5．考查开放性题目。题目要求回答除了运动之外，还有什么活动可以帮助你与社区建立联系，并解释原因。开放性题目，言之有理即可，答案不唯一，例如：举办图书特卖会，你可以以优惠的价格买到书，并与社区成员交朋友/参加社区服务活动，帮助他人和建立关系可以帮助我与社区建立联系。故答案为Holding book sales where you can buy books at a favorable price and make friends with community members./Volunteering for community service helps me connect with my community by helping others and building relationships. Passage 2 （24-25高一下·天津南开·期末）阅读下面短文，按照要求用英语回答问题。 In late October 1997, on a typical fall morning, Mike was attacked by a tiger shark near his home on the island of Kauai while surfing with friends. The shark came right up under him and sank its teeth into his lower leg. As Mike struggled to free himself. the shark bit harder, shaking him violently. Mike followed his instinct: he punched (拳打) the shark in the face, again and again (which happens to be what the experts recommend) until the shark released him. Swimming to shore, Mike noticed his lower right leg was gone. His friends quickly applied a tourniquet (止血带) using his board leash (皮带), which doctors later said likely saved his life. It was another day before the“fog” lifted, at which point Mike opened his eyes and realized he was in hospital - a below-the-knee amputee (被截肢者). For the next few weeks while resting in bed, Mike spent time with his family, researched prosthetics (义肢) and considered the future. Once Mike was given the OK by his doctors, he did what many might consider unthinkable: He started riding the waves again. In fact, his first time back was near the site of his attack. But Mike was unshaken. Instead he was curious — why was he attacked? He remembered a fish y smell in the water that morning. Was that what attracted the shark? Mike’s curiosity led him to research sharks, and while he never figured out why he became a target, Mike did learn something that would change his life.·“Humans are far more dangerous to sharks than the other way around,” said Mike.“I watched a documentary called Sharkwater, and I learned about the demand for shark fin soup and the fact that 70 million sharks a. year are killed for their fins alone.” His unique situation as a shark survivor enabled him to give sharks a voice. He began working with the Hawaii state legislature (立法机构) to help pass a ban on shark-derived (鲨鱼衍生的) products. He partnered with other like-minded shark attack survivors and marine biologists, and they headed to Washington to urge senators to create a nationwide bill protecting sharks. He was also selected to speak to the United Nations about the importance of shark sanctuaries (保护区). 1．How did Mike manage to get rid of the shark? (no more than 10 words) 2．Why did Mike return to the site where he had been attacked originally? (no more than 10 words) 3．What shocking fact did Mike learn about sharks? (no more than 20 words) 4．What does the underlined word mean in the last paragraph? (no more than 3words) 5．What do you think of Mike? Please explain. (no more than 25 words) 【答案】1．By punching the shark in the face again and again./He punched the shark in the face repeatedly. 2．Because he was curious about why he was attacked. /Because he was curious about the reason for being attacked. 3．Humans kill 70 million sharks yearly for their fins, making humans far more dangerous to sharks./He learned the fact that humans are far more dangerous to sharks by killing them for their fins. 4．Collaborated/Cooperated. 5．1. Open/He is caring. 2. He showed empathy to sharks despite being attacked./He is a brave person. Because he saved himself from a dangerous shark attack and started to ride waves again. 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。本文主要讲述了迈克在冲浪时被虎鲨攻击导致右腿截肢，但他没有放弃，反而开始研究鲨鱼并致力于保护鲨鱼的事业。 1．考查细节理解。根据文章第一段“Mike followed his instinct: he punched (拳打) the shark in the face, again and again (which happens to be what the experts recommend) until the shark released him.(迈克凭借本能：他一次又一次地击打鲨鱼的脸(这恰好是专家们的建议)，直到鲨鱼放开他。)”可知，迈克通过反复击打鲨鱼的脸摆脱了鲨鱼，故答案为By punching the shark in the face again and again./He punched the shark in the face repeatedly. 2．考查细节理解。根据文章第三段“But Mike was unshaken. Instead he was curious — why was he attacked? He remembered a fishy smell in the water that morning. Was that what attracted the shark?(但迈克没有动摇。相反，他很好奇——他为什么会被袭击？他记得那天早上水里有股鱼腥味。是那股气味吸引了鲨鱼吗？)”可知，迈克回到原来的被袭击的地方是因为他对被袭击的原因感到好奇，故答案为Because he was curious about why he was attacked./Because he was curious about the reason for being attacked. 3．考查细节理解。根据文章第四段“‘Humans are far more dangerous to sharks than the other way around,’ said Mike. ‘I watched a documentary called Sharkwater, and I learned about the demand for shark fin soup and the fact that 70 million sharks a year are killed for their fins alone.’(“人类对鲨鱼的危害远比对鲨鱼对人类的危害要大，”迈克说。“我看了一部名为《鲨鱼水域》的纪录片，我了解到了对鱼翅汤的需求，以及每年有7000万只鲨鱼仅因为它们的鳍就被杀死的事实。”)”可知，迈克了解到的关于鲨鱼的令人震惊的事实是人类每年因为鱼翅而杀死7000万只鲨鱼，这使得人类对鲨鱼的危害比对鲨鱼对人类的危害要大，故答案为Humans kill 70 million sharks yearly for their fins, making humans far more dangerous to sharks./He learned the fact that humans are far more dangerous to sharks by killing them for their fins. 4．考查词义猜测。划线词前面的句子“He began working with the Hawaii state legislature (立法机构) to help pass a ban on shark-derived (鲨鱼衍生的) products. (他开始与夏威夷州议会合作，以协助通过一项禁止销售鲨鱼衍生产品的法案。)”以及划线词所在句“He partnered with other like-minded shark attack survivors and marine biologists, and they headed to Washington to urge senators to create a nationwide bill protecting sharks.(他与其他志同道合的鲨鱼袭击幸存者和海洋生物学家……，他们前往华盛顿敦促参议员制定一项全国性的保护鲨鱼的法案。)”可知，开始与夏威夷州议会合作，以及与其他志同道合的鲨鱼袭击幸存者和海洋生物学家合作致力于保护鲨鱼的事业。划线单词“partnered”意为“合作”，相当于“collaborated/cooperated”，故答案为Collaborated/Cooperated. 5．考查推理判断。通读全文，结合最后一段“His unique situation as a shark survivor enabled him to give sharks a voice. He began working with the Hawaii state legislature (立法机构) to help pass a ban on shark-derived (鲨鱼衍生的) products. He partnered with other like-minded shark attack survivors and marine biologists, and they headed to Washington to urge senators to create a nationwide bill protecting sharks. He was also selected to speak to the United Nations about the importance of shark sanctuaries (保护区).(作为鲨鱼袭击的幸存者，他的独特经历使他能够为鲨鱼发声。他开始与夏威夷州立法机构合作，帮助通过禁止鲨鱼衍生产品的禁令。他与其他志同道合的鲨鱼袭击幸存者和海洋生物学家合作，他们前往华盛顿敦促参议员制定一项全国性的保护鲨鱼的法案。他还被选中在联合国就鲨鱼保护区的重要性发表演讲。)”可知，迈克尽管被鲨鱼袭击，但他对鲨鱼表示同情，开始为鲨鱼发声，由此可知他是一个富有同情心的人；结合第一段“Swimming to shore, Mike noticed his lower right leg was gone. His friends quickly applied a tourniquet (止血带) using his board leash (皮带), which doctors later said likely saved his life.(游到岸边时，迈克发现自己的右腿不见了。他的朋友们迅速用他的冲浪板皮带做了一个止血带，医生后来说这可能救了他的命。)”和第三段“Once Mike was given the OK by his doctors, he did what many might consider unthinkable: He started riding the waves again.(一旦医生同意，迈克就做了许多人认为不可能的事情：他又开始冲浪了。)”可知，迈克在危险的鲨鱼袭击中自救，并且又开始冲浪，由此可知他很勇敢。综上，故答案为1. Open/He is caring. 2. He showed empathy to sharks despite being attacked./He is a brave person. Because he saved himself from a dangerous shark attack and started to ride waves again. Passage 3 （24-25高一下·天津·期末）阅读短文,按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 Caring 17-year-old Lauren Schroeder was inspired to help bring healthy food to needy families in her community. Volunteering at a food shelter when she was 14, and tasked with helping fill boxes for households in need with canned and packaged food, this Iowa teen felt that something was missing from the donated groceries: fresh vegetables. She shared with her parents her desire to start a garden on part of their family farm in Dixon, Iowa, to supply local families in need with fresh produce. Coming from a farming family, Lauren had some familiarity with agriculture, and had helped raise rabbits and lambs, but had never tried vegetable cultivation at scale, though the Schroeders plant soybeans and corn each year on their 150-acre farm. The work involved in realizing Lauren’s plan was no walk in the park. Initially, while proud of her daughter’s vision, her mother, Katie Shroeder, admitted having some misgivings about the work involved: “I was wondering, ‘Oh my gosh, how much work is this going to be? ‘ I wasn’t sure whether this would work.” This was one young change-maker, however! Lauren researched plants online, checking which species needed more shade, how much water was required, and when to harvest each crop. And during Iowa’s hot summers, she had to water her crops by hand for around 2-3 hours daily. She also checked daily for weeds, and bent down to pick her green bean crop. Thanks to her diligence, Lauren planted half an acre of land, with 15 varieties of vegetables in 2022, harvesting and weighing her first crops, with a first batch of 18kilograms. In 2023, Lauren doubled the size of her garden to an acre. Discussing her plans, The Washington Post reveals that Lauren would like to grow another 5,897 kilograms of produce, thus bringing her vegetables to 9,072 kilograms when it’s time for her to go to college in 2025. In an interview with a local media channel, Lauren says, “I wanted to have something that would impact people. I want to impact community members. Many people help you out, but it makes more difference when you help others out. That’s what makes me most happy.” 1．Why did Lauren Schroeder decide to start a garden on her family farm? (no more than 15 words) 2．What does the underlined word “misgivings” mean? (no more than 2 words) 3．How did Lauren Schroeder carry out her plan? (no more than 20 words) 4．What makes Lauren happy according to the passage? (no more than 10 words) 5．What do you think of Lauren? Please give your reason. (no more than 20 words) 【答案】1．Because she wanted to bring fresh vegetables to needy families in her community. /To supply local families in need with fresh produce. 2．Doubts/Worries. 3．She researched online, watered crops daily, checked for weeds and picked crops. 4．That she can make a difference when helping others out./Making a difference when she helps others out. /Impacting community members. 5．She is caring and diligent because she helps others and works hard on the garden. 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章介绍了17岁的Lauren Schroeder受志愿活动启发，决定在自家农场开辟菜园，为社区贫困家庭提供新鲜蔬菜。她克服困难，通过自学和辛勤劳动，成功种植出多种蔬菜，并计划在未来扩大规模，继续为社区做出贡献。 1．考查细节理解。根据第一段中“Volunteering at a food shelter when she was 14, and tasked with helping fill boxes for households in need with canned and packaged food, this Iowa teen felt that something was missing from the donated groceries: fresh vegetables. She shared with her parents her desire to start a garden on part of their family farm in Dixon, Iowa, to supply local families in need with fresh produce. (14岁时，她在一家食物收容所做志愿者，负责为有需要的家庭用罐头和包装食品装满盒子，这位爱荷华州的青少年觉得捐赠的食品中缺少了一些东西：新鲜蔬菜。她告诉父母，她想在爱荷华州迪克森自家农场的一部分土地上开辟一个菜园，为当地有需要的家庭提供新鲜农产品。)”可知，Lauren Schroeder决定在自家农场开辟菜园是因为她想为社区中有需要的家庭提供新鲜蔬菜。故答案为Because she wanted to bring fresh vegetables to needy families in her community./To supply local families in need with fresh produce. 2．考查词句猜测。根据第三段中“Initially, while proud of her daughter’s vision, her mother, Katie Shroeder, admitted having some misgivings about the work involved: “I was wondering, ‘Oh my gosh, how much work is this going to be? ‘ I wasn’t sure whether this would work.” (起初，虽然为女儿的远见感到骄傲，但她的母亲凯蒂·施罗德承认，她对这项工作有一些misgivings：“我在想，‘天哪，这得做多少工作啊？’我不确定这是否可行。”)”可知，母亲对女儿的计划有所担忧，不确定是否能成功。因此，misgivings的意思是“疑虑，担忧”。故答案为Doubts/Worries. 3．考查细节理解。根据第四段“Lauren researched plants online, checking which species needed more shade, how much water was required, and when to harvest each crop. And during Iowa’s hot summers, she had to water her crops by hand for around 2-3 hours daily. She also checked daily for weeds, and bent down to pick her green bean crop. (劳伦在网上研究植物，查看哪些物种需要更多的阴凉，需要多少水，以及何时收获每种作物。在爱荷华州炎热的夏天，她每天要花2到3个小时亲手给庄稼浇水。她还每天检查杂草，弯腰采摘青豆。)”可知，Lauren通过在线研究植物、每天浇水、检查杂草和采摘作物来执行她的计划。故答案为She researched online, watered crops daily, checked for weeds and picked crops. 4．考查细节理解。根据最后一段“In an interview with a local media channel, Lauren says, “I wanted to have something that would impact people. I want to impact community members. Many people help you out, but it makes more difference when you help others out. That’s what makes me most happy.”  (在接受当地媒体采访时，劳伦说：“我想有一些能影响人们的东西。我想影响社区成员。很多人会帮助你，但当你帮助别人时，会产生更大的影响。这让我最开心。”)”可知，让Lauren最开心的是她能够帮助别人并产生影响。故答案为That she can make a difference when helping others out./Making a difference when she helps others out./Impacting community members. 5．考查推理判断。本题是开放性试题。根据文章内容可知，Lauren Schroeder是一个关心他人且勤奋努力的人，她通过自己的行动为社区贫困家庭提供帮助，并克服困难实现了自己的目标。故答案为She is caring and diligent because she helps others and works hard on the garden. Passage 4 （24-25高一下·天津·期末）阅读短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 Fatema’s love for volleyball started when she was nine years old in Iran because of encouragement from her uncle. Fatema didn’t have anywhere to play volleyball when she arrived in Australia, so she worked with community leaders to set up after-school matches in the local area. The community volleyball matches continued for three months and allowed Fatema to show her qualities as a skillful team player and leader among her peers. Fatema believes that she needs to play in a professional club. However, as training sessions and matches are often in the evenings, the timing is not convenient for her because she can’t use public transport at that time. The club registration cost is also a problem. Fatema is a thoughtful girl and doesn’t want to put a financial strain on her family, so she continues to look for after-school work to earn money that could help cover the club registration costs and other expenses. While she hasn’t joined a volleyball club yet, Fatema has joined the Dandenong Women’s Sports Hub for volleyball sessions run by the Centre for Multicultural Youth after school. Moslih, the coach, is inspired by her positive attitude towards various challenges since Fatema arrived in Australia. Moslih said,“I have seen Fatema in every volleyball class we’ve had! Fatema has proven to me how determined she is to realize her dream of playing volleyball, and it just makes me want to support her in every way that I can. I have not only seen her progress in her skills, but also her confidence and hard work. She is always the first to show up and the last to leave.” Fatema is a multi-talented young person.

Please explain.(no more than 25 words) 【答案】1．Because she could not find a place to play volleyball after arriving in Australia. 或者 Because Fatema didn’t have anywhere to play volleyball when she arrived in Australia 2．Pressure./Stress./Tension. 3．She is a strong-willed/determined, confident and hard-working/diligent girl. 或者She is strong-willed/determined, confident, hard-working//diligent. 4．To find a part-time job to afford volleyball club costs. 或者To work after school to earn volleyball club fees. 5．We learn that when facing difficulties, we should be optimistic and stick to our dreams in all possible ways. 或者 Hard work and dedication can help overcome challenges and achieve our dreams, which inspires me a lot. 或者 Her determination to pursue dreams despite hardships inspires us to never give up. 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Fatema 自幼热爱排球，到澳大利亚后因无处打球与社区合办比赛。虽因时间、费用未加入职业俱乐部，但积极参训，教练赞其坚定努力，她现想打工赚钱圆梦的故事。 1．考查细节理解。根据第一段中“Fatema didn’t have anywhere to play volleyball when she arrived in Australia, so she worked with community leaders to set up after-school matches in the local area.( Fatema刚到澳大利亚的时候没有地方打排球，所以她和社区领导一起在当地组织了课后比赛。)”可知，Fatema和社区领导举办排球比赛是因为她没有地方打排球。故答案是：Because she could not find a place to play volleyball after arriving in Australia.或者 Because Fatema didn’t have anywhere to play volleyball when she arrived in Australia 2．考查词义猜测。根据划线单词句中“Fatema is a thoughtful girl and doesn’t want to put a financial …on her family, so she continues to look for after-school work to earn money that could help cover the club registration costs and other expenses.( Fatema是一个体贴的女孩，她不想给家庭带来经济……，所以她继续寻找课后工作来赚钱，以帮助支付俱乐部的注册费和其他费用。)” 可知，这里说她不想给家庭带来经济方面的“strain”，结合语境，她去做兼职赚钱，可知“strain”是“压力”的意思，即“pressure”。故答案是：Pressure./Stress./Tension. 3．考查推理判断。根据第四段中“Fatema has proven to me how determined she is to realize her dream of playing volleyball, and it just makes me want to support her in every way that I can. I have not only seen her progress in her skills, but also her confidence and hard work. She is always the first to show up and the last to leave.”(Fatema向我证明了她实现排球梦想的决心，这让我想要尽我所能支持她。我不仅看到了她在技能上的进步，也看到了她的自信和努力。她总是第一个来，最后一个走。”)”可推知，从这些描述可以看出 Moslih 认为她有决心且努力。故答案是：She is a strong-willed/determined, confident and hard-working/diligent girl.或者She is strong-willed/determined, confident, hard-working/diligent. 4．考查细节理解题。根据最后一段中“But her current goal is to earn some money through an after-school job to financially support her participation in the volleyball club.( 但她目前的目标是通过课后工作赚一些钱，以资助她参加排球俱乐部。)”可知，Fatema目前的目标是为参加排球俱乐部赚钱。故答案是：To find a part-time job to afford volleyball club costs.或者To work after school to earn volleyball club fees. 5．考查开放性试题。根据文章大意以及题干中的问题“读完这篇文章后，Fatem的故事对你有什么影响？”可知，读完这篇文章后，Fatem对我的影响是：我们知道，在面对困难时，我们应该保持乐观，并想尽一切可能坚守自己的梦想。或者：努力和奉献可以帮助克服挑战，实现我们的梦想，这激励了我很多。或者：她不顾困难追求梦想的决心激励着我们永不放弃。故答案是：We learn that when facing difficulties, we should be optimistic and stick to our dreams in all possible ways.或者Hard work and dedication can help overcome challenges and achieve our dreams, which inspires me a lot. 或者Her determination to pursue dreams despite hardships inspires us to never give up. Passage 5 （24-25高一下·天津·期末）阅读短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 Mother Teresa has influenced many people in the world. Pankaj Shah is one of them. He helped many people in Nairobi, Kenya, to get enough food during the coronavirus pandemic (新冠大流行). Pankaj Shah met Mother Teresa after her pickup truck hit his car when he was just a young, wild businessman finding his way in life 30 years ago. The two became friends, and then he volunteered with her for three months. Mother Teresa has passed away, but her mission to help the poor lives on in Pankaj and countless others. When the coronavirus pandemic hit Africa, Pankaj stopped his business at his company and turned his attention to those around him. “I think about what she would do,” he explained. “That’s the inspiration for the rest of my life.” So Pankaj brought his friends together and transformed a school into a center for handing out supplies. Then he began asking the nation’s wealthiest people and private businesses for donations. With schools and businesses closed and no work for the young people who support their families, many Kenyans have stayed inside without enough food. Kenya’s large Asian community also stepped up to help, bringing in loads of vegetables and other produce before the outbreak began. Under Pankaj’s leadership, volunteers formed Team Pankaj and began putting hampers (餐篮) together that are designed to feed families in need for up to five weeks. “One old woman told us she hadn’t eaten for days,” Pankaj said. “People were getting hungry and angry.” After just three weeks, they were able to send out more than 24,000 food hampers! Mother Teresa once said, “If you can’t feed a hundred people, then feed just one.” Her lifelong mission was to serve the poor through acts of kindness and generosity. Pankaj and his army of volunteers have taken her philanthropy a step further. 1．When did Pankaj Shah meet Mother Teresa? (no more than 10 words) 2．Why did Pankaj Shah stop his business when the coronavirus pandemic hit Africa? (no more than 10 words) 3．How did Team Pankaj help families in need of food? (no more than 10 words) 4．What does the underlined word “philanthropy” in the last paragraph mean? (1 word) 5．What do you think of Pankaj Shah? Please explain.(no more than 20 words) 【答案】1．30 years ago. 2．To help others during the pandemic. 3．By distributing food hampers to families. 4．Charity. 5．He is selfless and inspiring, continuing Mother Teresa’s mission to help the poor. 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了潘卡吉受特蕾莎修女影响，在新冠疫情期间，暂停生意，联合他人将学校改为物资分发中心，募集捐赠，为肯尼亚人提供食物篮，践行其慈善精神。 1．考查细节理解。根据第二段“Pankaj Shah met Mother Teresa after her pickup truck hit his car when he was just a young, wild businessman finding his way in life 30 years ago.(30年前，当帕克贾·沙赫还是一位初涉商界、行为放纵的年轻人时，他的汽车被特蕾莎修女的皮卡车撞了。那次遭遇后，他与特蕾莎修女相识了)”可知，潘卡杰·沙赫是在30年前与特蕾莎修女见面。故答案为30 years ago. 2．考查细节理解。根据第三段“When the coronavirus pandemic hit Africa, Pankaj stopped his business at his company and turned his attention to those around him. “I think about what she would do,” he explained.(当新冠疫情席卷非洲时，帕克贾停止了自己在公司的业务工作，将注意力转向了身边的人。“我会思考她会怎么做，”他解释道)”可知，帕克贾·沙赫在新冠疫情席卷非洲时会停止自己的生意是为了在疫情期间帮助他人。故答案为To help others during the pandemic. 3．考查细节理解。根据第四段“Under Pankaj’s leadership, volunteers formed Team Pankaj and began putting hampers (餐篮) together that are designed to feed families in need for up to five weeks.(在潘卡杰的领导下，志愿者们组成了“潘卡杰团队”，并开始制作食品篮，这些食品篮旨在为贫困家庭提供长达五周的食品供应)”可知，潘卡杰团队通过向家庭分发食品礼包帮助那些需要食物的家庭。故答案为By distributing food hampers to families. 4．考查词句猜测。根据划线词上文“Her lifelong mission was to serve the poor through acts of kindness and generosity.(她一生的使命是通过善举和慷慨行为来服务穷人)”可知，她一生的使命是通过善举和慷慨行为来服务穷人，即从事慈善行为。故划线词意思是“慈善”。故答案为Charity. 5．考查开放题。根据“你觉得潘卡杰·沙阿怎么样？请解释一下”可知，他无私且令人鼓舞，继续着特蕾莎修女帮助穷人的事业。故答案为He is selfless and inspiring, continuing Mother Teresa’s mission to help the poor. Passage 6 （24-25高一下·天津河西·期末）阅读短文，用英语回答问题 As a little boy, there was nothing I liked beer than Sunday afternoons at my grandfathers farm, surrounded by miles of winding (蜿蜒) stonewalls in western Pennsylvania, which provided a lot of fun for a city kid like me. I can still remember my first visit to the farm. I'd wanted to be allowed to climb the stonewalls. But my parents would never approve, because the walls were old, and some stones were missing. I was still eager to climb it, so I asked for their permission. “Can I climb the stonewalls?” I asked nervously. At this moment, my parents sill didn't agree. Before I left the room sadly, my grandfather said, “Let the boy climb the stonewalls. He has to learn to do things for himself.” It took me about two hours to climb those stonewalls. Later I met with my grandfather to tell him about my adventure. I’ll never forget what he said. “Mike, you made this day a special day just by being yourself. Always remember, there's only one person in this whole world like you, and I like you exactly as you are.” Today I host the television program Mister Roger’s Neighborhood, which is liked by millions of children throughout America. There have been changes over the years, but one thing remains the same: my message to children at the end of every visit, “There's only one person in this whole world like you, and people can like you exactly as you are.” 1．Where is Mike’s grandfather's farm? (no more than 5 words) 2．What does the underlined word “approve” in Paragraph 2 mean in English? (no more than 1 word) 3．How long did the author spend climbing the stonewalls? (no more than 5 words) 4．According to the passage, who would like to watch the author's program? (no more than 10words) 5．What does the author want to tell us through this story? (no more than 20 words) 【答案】1．In western Pennsylvania. 2．Agree. 3．About two hours. 4．Millions of children throughout America. 5．There's only one person in this whole world like you, and people can like you exactly as you are. 【分析】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要记叙了作者第一次去爷爷家农场想要爬石墙，但是父母不允许，在爷爷的劝说下，父母允许作者爬石墙。通过爬石墙这件事，爷爷告诉作者要做自己。如今，作者正主持儿童节目，深受孩子喜欢，作者在每回节目结束前都告诉孩子做自己。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段“there was nothing I liked beer than Sunday afternoons at my grandfathers farm, surrounded by miles of winding (蜿蜒) stonewalls in western Pennsylvania”(没有什么事情比得上在周日下午在爷爷家农场喝啤酒。爷爷家农场在宾夕法尼亚西部被几英里的蜿蜒的石墙围着。)可知，爷爷家农场在宾夕法尼亚西部，故填In western Pennsylvania。 2．词义猜测题。根据“I was still eager to climb it, so I asked for their permission.”(我仍然想去爬石墙，因此我请求父母允许。)可知，父母不同意作者爬石墙，所以“But my parents would never approve,”表示我的父母决不允许，故横线单词表示“同意”，故填Agree。 3．细节理解题。根据第四段“It took me about two hours to climb those stonewalls.”(爬这些石墙花费我大约两个小时。)可知，爬石墙花费作者大约两个小时，故填About two hours。 4．细节理解题。根据最后一段“Today I host the television program Mister Roger’s Neighborhood, which is liked by millions of children throughout America.”(如今，我主持一档电视节目叫做Mister Roger’s Neighborhood，这个节目被成千上百万美国孩子喜欢。)可知，成千上百万美国孩子喜欢作者的节目，故填Millions of children throughout America。 5．主旨大意题。根据第四段“Always remember, there's only one person in this whole world like you, and I like you exactly as you are.”(要记住，在这个世界上只有一个人像你，我喜欢你是因为你就是你。)和最后一段“There's only one person in this whole world like you, and people can like you exactly as you are.”(在这个世界上只有一个人像你，人们喜欢你是因为你就是你。)可知，作者通过爬石墙这件事，从爷爷那得到的启示就是做自己，并把这样一个道理告诉自己的观众，所以作者通过这个事情想告诉我们要做自己，故填There's only one person in this whole world like you, and people can like you exactly as you are。 Passage 7 （24-25高一下·天津河北·期末）阅读短文，按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 It was the day of the big cross-country run. Students from seven different primary schools in and around the small town were warming up and walking the route through thick evergreen forest. I looked around and finally spotted David, who was standing by himself off to the side by a fence. He was small for a ten-year-old. His usual big toothy smile was absent today. I walked over and asked him why he wasn’t with the other children. He hesitated and then said he had decided not to run. What was wrong? He had worked so hard for this event! I quickly searched the crowd for the school’s coach and asked him what had happened. “I was afraid that kids from other schools would laugh at him,” he explained uncomfortably. “I gave him the choice to run or not, and let him decide.” I bit back my frustration(懊恼,沮丧). I knew the coach meant well—he thought he was doing the right thing. After making sure that David could run if he wanted, I turned to find him coming towards me, his eyes suddenly bright with determination. “I want to run,” he declared, straightening his small shoulders. His body rocked from side to side as he swung his feet forward. David had a brain disease which prevented him from walking or running like other children, but at school his classmates thought of him as a regular kid. He always participated to the best of his ability in whatever they were doing. That was why none of the children thought it unusual that David had decided to join the cross-country team. It just took him longer—that’s all. David had not missed a single practice, and although he always finished his run long after the other children, he did always finish. As a special education teacher at the school, I was familiar with the challenges David faced and was proud of his strong determination. David moved up to the starting line with the other runners. The race started. The route seemed long, especially for a child with a brain disease. David insisted on running as if he had forgotten all his weaknesses. He tripped within the first few kilometers but quickly picked himself up and continued. Classmates cheered, “Come on! You can make it! We’re proud of you!” To everyone’s joy, he reached the finish line and ranked 20th. It wasn’t important whether he won first place. It was his brave heart and strong faith that made something unusual happen. 1．Why was David standing alone by the fence? (no more than 10 words) 2．What does the underlined part mean in Paragraph 2? (no more than 5 words) 3．How did David’s classmates view him at school? (no more than 10 words) 4．What does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about? (no more than 10 words) 5．How does David’s story inspire you? Please explain in your own words. (no more than 20 words) 【答案】1．Because he hesitated and then decided not to run. 2． Stopped myself from showing frustration. Held back my annoyance. 3．They viewed him as a normal kid. 4．David running bravely despite falling, encouraged by classmates. 5．I need to have a strong faith to face the challenges of life.(本题为开放性试题，答案不唯一，仅供参考) 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。作者是特殊教育教师，在大型越野赛跑那天，发现患有大脑疾病的大卫独自站在一旁。大卫说准备放弃比赛，但作者让大卫不理会别人的看法。大卫最终参寒并战胜了自己。 1．考查细节理解。根据首段中的“I looked around and finally spotted David, who was standing by himself off to the side by a fence. He was small for a ten-year-old. His usual big toothy smile was absent today. I walked over and asked him why he wasn’t with the other children. He hesitated and then said he had decided not to run.(我环顾四周，终于看到大卫独自一人站在一旁的栅栏边。他十岁了，个头却偏小。他那标志性的大大的咧嘴笑今天不见了。我走过去问他为什么没和其他孩子在一起。他犹豫了一下，然后说他决定不跑了)可知，大卫独自一人站在一旁的栅栏边是因为他犹豫而且决定不跑了。故填Because he hesitated and then decided not to run. 2．考查词义猜测。根据第二段画线句后面的“I knew the coach meant well—he thought he was doing the right thing.(我知道教练是出于好意——他以为自己在做正确的事)”可知，作者理解教练的做法。由此猜测听完教练的话后，他克制住自己懊恼的情绪。画线部分bit back my frustration表示“克制我沮丧/懊恼的情绪”。故填Stopped myself from showing frustration./Held back my annoyance. 3．考查细节理解。根据第三段首句“David had a brain disease which prevented him from walking or running like other children, but at school his classmates thought of him as a regular kid.(大卫患有脑部疾病，这使得他无法像其他孩子那样行走或奔跑，但在学校里，他的同学们却把他当作一个正常的孩子看待)”可知，在学校里大卫的同学把他看成正常孩子。故填They viewed him as a normal kid. 4．考查主旨大意。根据本段“David moved up to the starting line with the other runners. The race started. The route seemed long, especially for a child with a brain disease. David insisted on running as if he had forgotten all his weaknesses. He tripped within the first few kilometers but quickly picked himself up and continued. Classmates cheered, “Come on! You can make it! We’re proud of you!”(大卫和其他选手一起来到了起跑线处。比赛开始了。赛道看起来很长，尤其是对于一个患有脑部疾病的儿童来说。大卫坚持着奔跑，仿佛已经忘记了自身的所有弱点。他在最初的几公里内就绊了一跤，但很快又站了起来继续前行。同学们欢呼道：“加油！你能做到的！我们为你感到骄傲！”)”可知，本段讲述了尽管大卫摔倒了，在同学们的鼓励下他勇敢地奔跑。故填David running bravely despite falling, encouraged by classmates. 5．考查推理判断。本题是开放性试题，根据末段中的“It wasn’t important whether he won first place. It was his brave heart and strong faith that made something unusual happen.(他是否获得第一名并不重要。真正起作用的是他那勇敢的心和坚定的信念，正是这些才使得一些不寻常的事情发生了)”可推断，大卫的故事激励我要有坚定的信念来面对生活的挑战。故填I need to have a strong faith to face the challenges of life. Passage 8 （24-25高一下·天津滨海新·期末）阅读短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 It was a few years ago. A friend had sent me a restaurant gift card for Christmas and I picked a pretty, sunny Sunday afternoon to use it. It felt good taking my two grown sons and daughter to a nice sit-down restaurant instead of the fast-food places we usually ate at. The meal was delicious and we all had a good time. When the waitress brought the check, I looked down at it. The gift card covered almost all of it. I reached into my wallet to get enough cash to cover the rest. I saw two bills in the front of it. The first would cover the rest of the bill and give the waitress a nice tip. The second bill was much larger so I reached down to pick out the first one. At that moment my mind flashed back to 30 years ago. I was working as a helper in a restaurant much like the one. It was long hours of hard work for low pay. I went home just barely making enough to feed my young family. I also remembered how more than once I saw the waitress counting their meager tips while worrying about how they were going to pay the rent and other things. I remembered the pain and sadness in their eyes at the end of the day. I blinked and was back in the present again. My fingers touched the smaller bill in my wallet. I smiled, pushed it back down and picked out the much larger bill. I folded it around the gift card and covered both of them with the check. As we all got up from the table, I handed them to the hard-working waitress. “You keep the change,” I said with a smile and a happy heart. We are all one family in this world. We live together, laugh together and suffer together. Do your best to be a good person and love others. Replace the suffering with joy. 1．Why did the author initially want to use the first bill to pay? (no more than 15words) 2．How do you understand the underlined word in Paragraph 2? (no more than 3words) 3．What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about? (no more than 8 words) 4．What kind of person is the author? (no more than 5 words) 5．What was the last time you did a good deed? Please explain it in your own words. (no more than 20 words) 【答案】1．Because the first one would cover the rest of the bill and the waitress’s tip./Because the second one was too large for the food and the tip. 2．Not much./Very small./Small./Very little./Little./Tiny. 3．The author’s final decision about giving tips./How the author tipped the waitress at last. 4．He was sympathetic/compassionate/kind/caring/loving. 5．My classmate was ill and missed class last week, so I lent her my notes for her to catch up./I found a cat in the neighborhood last weekend, so I gave it some food and water. 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了一位父亲在餐厅结账时，回忆起自己年轻时做服务员的艰辛经历，最终决定给予女服务员慷慨小费的故事。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段中“The first would cover the rest of the bill and give the waitress a nice tip. The second bill was much larger so I reached down to pick out the first one. (第一张钞票可以支付剩余的账单，还能给服务员一笔不错的小费。第二张钞票金额要大得多，所以我弯腰选择了第一张)”可知，作者起初想选择第一张钞票，是因为第一笔钱可以支付剩下的账单和服务员的小费，或者是因为对于食物和小费来说，第二张太大了。故答案为：Because the first one would cover the rest of the bill and the waitress’s tip./Because the second one was too large for the food and the tip. 2．词句猜测题。根据画线词的下文“while worrying about how they were going to pay the rent and other things (一边发愁着该如何支付房租和其他开销)”可知，这笔小费不足以帮助女服务员们支付房租和其他开销，因此画线词意为“不多的”或“很少的”。故答案为：Not much./Very small./Small./Very little./Little./Tiny. 3．主旨大意题。根据第三段中“My fingers touched the smaller bill in my wallet. I smiled, pushed it back down and picked out the much larger bill. I folded it around the gift card and covered both of them with the check. As we all got up from the table, I handed them to the hard-working waitress. “You keep the change,” I said with a smile and a happy heart. (指尖触到钱包里那张面额较小的钞票时，我微笑着把它推回去，转而抽出了那张金额大得多的纸币。我将它和礼品卡叠在一起，用账单仔细盖住。当我们起身离席时，我把这些递给那位勤恳的女服务员。“不用找零了，”我笑着说道，心里涌动着暖意)”可知，本段主要叙述了作者关于给小费的最终决定，或作者最后是如何给女服务员小费的。故答案为：The author’s final decision about giving tips./How the author tipped the waitress at last. 4．推理判断题。根据第二段中“I remembered the pain and sadness in their eyes at the end of the day. (我记得那天结束时他们眼中的痛苦和悲伤)”和第三段中“As we all got up from the table, I handed them to the hard-working waitress. “You keep the change,” I said with a smile and a happy heart. (当我们起身离席时，我把这些递给那位勤恳的女服务员。“不用找零了，”我笑着说道，心里涌动着暖意)”可知，作者对过去女服务员的遭遇充满理解，最终决定给予女服务员慷慨小费，这表明他富有同情心，或很善良，或很有爱心。故答案为：He was sympathetic/compassionate/kind/caring/loving. 5．开放性试题。本题结合个人生活实际经历言之，有理即可。例如，“我”的同学上周病了，没去上课，所以“我”把我的笔记借给她，让她补上功课。/上周末“我”在附近发现了一只猫，所以“我”给了它一些食物和水。故答案为：My classmate was ill and missed class last week, so I lent her my notes for her to catch up./I found a cat in the neighborhood last weekend, so I gave it some food and water. Passage 9 （23-24高一下·天津·期末）阅读下面短文，并根据短文内容完成下列各题。 Once upon a time, in a little village called Charmington, there lived a shy and unconfident girl named Lily. Lily was a kind-hearted soul, but her lack of self-assurance often led her to doubt her own beauty and worth. One sunny day, as Lily wandered through the streets of Charmington, she came across a charming little shop filled with shining hair accessories (配饰). Among the treasures, her eyes were attracted by a lovely bow (蝴蝶结) that seemed to callout to her. Despite her hesitation, something inside Lily told her to take a small act of self-expression and pay for the bow. She bought it and gently put it in her hair. At that very moment, a magical transformation took place. Lily felt a burst of confidence, as if the bow had given her a newfound confidence and charm. Excited about her new accessory, Lily confidently walked down the busy streets of Charmington, unaware that the bow had slipped and dropped unnoticed from her hair. Her newfound confidence made her feel beautiful inside and out. As Lily walked, something amazing began to happen. People passing by couldn’t help but notice her beauty, the warmth that shined from herself. Strangers smiled at her, complimenting her on her look and bright smile. Confused by their compliments, Lily touched her hair, only to realize that the bow was missing. Instead of feeling embarrassed or disheartened, she couldn’t help but be amazed by the power of her own confidence. Lily began to understand that true beauty lies not in outside decorations but in self-assurance and grace. It was her confidence that had caught the attention and admiration of those around her. 1．What was the biggest challenge for Lily? (No more than 15 words.) 2．What happened to Lily’s new bow?(No more than 10 words.) 3．What does the underlined word “complimenting” probably mean? (Only 1 word.) 4．According to the passage, what is the true beauty? (No more than 15 words.) 5．In your opinion, how to build your own confidence? (No more than 20 words.) 【答案】1．She was shy and unconfident. / Her lack of self-assurance often led her to doubt her own beauty and worth. 2．It slipped and dropped from her hair. 3．Praising. 4．True beauty lies not in outside decorations but in self-assurance and grace. 5．Set achievable goals, embrace challenges, celebrate small wins, and surround yourself with positivity and encouragement. 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要通过Lily的故事，强调了由内而外的自信的重要性。 1．考查推理判断。由文章第一段“Once upon a time, in a little village called Charmington, there lived a shy and unconfident girl named Lily. Lily was a kind-hearted soul, but her lack of self-assurance often led her to doubt her own beauty and worth. (从前，在一个叫查明顿的小村庄里，住着一个害羞而不自信的女孩，她的名字叫莉莉。莉莉是一个善良的灵魂，但缺乏自信经常让她怀疑自己的美丽和价值。)”可知，莉莉害羞而不自信，她缺乏自信，常常怀疑自己的美丽和价值。故答案为：She was shy and unconfident. / Her lack of self-assurance often led her to doubt her own beauty and worth. 2．考查细节理解。由文章第三段中“Excited about her new accessory, Lily confidently walked down the busy streets of Charmington, unaware that the bow had slipped and dropped unnoticed from her hair. (莉莉对她的新配饰感到兴奋，她自信地走在查明顿繁忙的街道上，没有意识到蝴蝶结已经从她的头发上滑落下来了。)”可知，莉莉的新蝴蝶结从她的头发上滑落下来。故答案为：It slipped and dropped from her hair. 3．考查词句猜测。由文章第三段中“ People passing by couldn’t help but notice her beauty, the warmth that shined from herself. (路过的人都注意到她的美丽，她身上散发出的温暖。)”结合画线句“Strangers smiled at her, complimenting her on her look and bright smile.(陌生人对她微笑，complimenting她的美貌和灿烂的笑容。)”可推断，莉莉走在街道上，人们注意到莉莉的魅力和温暖，陌生人也对她微笑，称赞她的美貌和灿烂的笑容。画线词的含义为“称赞”，praise意为“称赞”，原文中complimenting为现在分词，praise也用现在分词。故答案为：Praising. 4．考查细节理解。由文章最后一段中“Lily began to understand that true beauty lies not in outside decorations but in self-assurance and grace. It was her confidence that had caught the attention and admiration of those around her. (莉莉开始明白，真正的美不在于外在的装饰，而在于自信和优雅。正是她的自信引起了周围人的注意和钦佩。)”可知，真正的美不在于外表的装饰，而在于自信和优雅。故答案为：True beauty lies not in outside decorations but in self-assurance and grace. 5．开放题。正确即可。例如：设定可实现的目标、迎接挑战、庆祝小小的胜利、让自己充满积极和鼓励，这些都可以建立自己的信心。故答案为：Set achievable goals, embrace challenges, celebrate small wins, and surround yourself with positivity and encouragement. Passage 10 （23-24高一下·天津滨海新区·期末） 阅读短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 Six days a week, up and down the red hills of northeast Georgia, my grandfather brought the mail to the folks there. At age 68, he retired from the post office, but he never stopped serving the community. On his 80th birthday, I sent him a letter, noting the things we all should be thankful for — good health, good friends and good outcomes. By most measurements he was a happy man. Then I suggested it was time for him to slow down. At long last, in a comfortable home, with a generous pension, he should learn to take things easy. “Thank you for your nice words,” he wrote in his letter back, “and I know what you meant, but slowing down scares me. Life isn’t having it made; it’s getting it made.” “The finest and happiest years of our lives were not when all the debts were paid, and all difficult experiences had passed, and we had settled into a comfortable home. No. I go back years ago, when we lived in a three-room house, when we got up before daylight and worked till after dark to make ends meet. I rarely had more than four hours of sleep.
