Passage 1
(24-25高一下·山东潍坊·期末)Our 12-year-old television broke down. Its slow death began with a warning that flashed across the screen one night: This function is not available now. I tried cleaning the remote control, restarting the TV and updating the system. Nothing worked.
I thought about getting a new TV, but we didn’t have the money to replace it. I spent hours online researching and concluded the motherboard (主板) was near the end of its life.
Motherboard. The word held significance. I heard it as two words: mother bored. With my younger son, Henry, away at college, my role as a mom had taken a big turn. I was still trying to get used to this change. I was, honestly, a little bored. I had just thought about watching Henry’s favorite TV show Jeopardy after dinner to kill time, but now the annoying warning ruined my relaxation.
I wished the TV would fix itself, but the warning came more often as the week went on. Disappointed, I decided to settle down with a book instead. I searched my bookshelf and found a historical novel that I’d been given as a gift a few years ago but never read.
The first few nights, I was restless. I fought the desire to pick up my phone and research new TVs or check social media. But once I got lost in the book, everything changed. A new level of relaxation opened, and a deep sense of peace filled my day and even my night’s sleep.
We moved the broken TV out of the living room. Now when I think about that annoying warning, I feel thankful. I realize that blessings sometimes enter our lives disguised as problems, and the answer isn’t always getting something new but rediscovering gifts we already have.

Passage 2
(24-25高一下·山东济南·期末)A rural doctor travels miles of unforgiving land by donkey, enduring cold, rain, wind and exhaustion, to visit several dozen families scattered across the highest mountain in the north of Argentina.
Dr. Jorge Fusaro has organized medical tours three times a year for the past four years across Chañi, a sacred mountain, which has extreme temperatures, year-round snowy peaks. Fusaro is not only the only doctor many people see, sometimes he’s the only outsider. Doctors may be the only representatives of the state to reach this mountainous region.
There are no schools, police, or postal services. Fusaro not only treats residents and leaves enough medicine, he also helps them with paperwork, serves as a mail carrier for delivering important documents to relatives in the city, and organizes training sessions, etc.
“Knowing that our medical work gave these communities a better life fills my heart. If we don’t go, no one will,” he reflects. He’s worried that government cuts will make future trips impossible. He’s already had to cancel one trip due to lack of funding.

Fusaro helps her prepare lunch. He chats about her life and chores. “My idea of sharing is essential. Making the most of the short time we spend in the communities and trying to live as they do,” he said. “That way, we understand their efforts and worries, their knee or back pain. If they don’t have a bed and we need to sleep on a sheep’s hide, we do it. This helps us think of medical solutions within their possibilities and daily lives.”
Doña Virginia says it’s important for her and her family to see Fusaro a few times a year. “He brings the medicines we take here for months,” she said. “The work with animals is hard; we’re old, and our bodies ache.”

Passage 3
(24-25高一下·山东枣庄·期末)81-year-old Australian blood donor, James Harrison, known as the “Man with the Golden Arm,” has retired after saving the lives of 2.4 million babies over the course of more than half a century.
When Harrison was 14, he got sick and had to have one of his lungs removed. The process involved a three-month hospital stay, and nearly two gallons of donated blood. It inspired him to donate his own later—despite his fear to needles. In 1954, as soon as he hit the legal age of 18, Harrison started giving blood and plasma.
Harrison’s blood contains an extremely rare antibody, which doctors believe has to do with the blood he received earlier. Once Harrison learned he possessed anti-D, he was happy to continue to donate in order to help as many people as possible. Harrison donated blood and plasma 1,173 times, every two weeks between 1954 and 2018. All but 10 were from his right arm.
“He was committed to a lifetime of giving and he captured the hearts of many people around the world,” Lifeblood CEO Stephen Cornelissen said in a statement. He “never missed a single appointment,” the agency said, and “expected nothing in return”. Blood donors are not compensated (补偿) financially under Australian law.
Harrison officially retired at age 81, the maximum age for blood donations under Australian law. He made his last donation in May 2018, surrounded by half a dozen grateful mothers holding babies who benefited from the anti-D program.
In fact, Harrison was reluctant to retire, telling the Sydney Morning Herald that “I’d keep on going if they let me.” But he is pleased to know that Australia has about 200 anti-D donors who help around 45,000 mothers and babies annually, according to Lifeblood. He believes they are dedicated to the cause.
1.Why did Harrison decide to donate blood himself?
A.He reached legal age for donation. B.He benefited from it as a patient.
C.His blood contains a rare antibody. D.He wanted to make a new record.
2.What can we learn about Harrison from Stephen’s words?
A.He is selfless. B.He is honest. C.He is brave. D.He is grateful.
3.How did Harrison feel about his retirement?
A.Indifferent. B.Delighted. C.Unwilling. D.Satisfied.
4.What does Harrison’s story show?
A.Giving is living. B.Hard work pays off.
C.Live and learn. D.No pains, no gains.
Passage 4
(24-25高一下·山东烟台·期末)Madagascar is home to amazing forest ecosystems, many of which are at risk due to human activities. UNESCO’s professional training programme is giving hands-on skills to over 60 young people, unlocking new careers with environmental efforts.
Jean, a young local guy, worked for a long time as a day labourer, taking on various dangerous jobs in construction. “I could only earn about $7 per day at such dangerous conditions,” he explains.
His situation changed completely when he joined UNESCO’s BIOCOM project training programme, which aims to give job choices of preventing the destructive use of forest resources and supporting environmental protection for communities living in and around Madagascar’s national parks. After the training, Jean became a metalworker and created eco-friendly park facilities, like trash bins and signposts, reducing wood consumption. He now earns $20 daily, proving green jobs pay better and protect forests.
Despite Jean’s individual success, there are broader challenges. In his community, many young people face challenges in completing education and obtaining training. Half of those who enter secondary school fail to graduate. Lacking opportunities, many turn to harvest resources directly in the surrounding national parks, often in unsustainable ways, which threatens the other two BIOCOM project sites: Marojejy National Park and Andohahela National Park, both of which have been on the List of World Heritage in Danger since 2010.
UNESCO’s program equips regional youth with skills for green careers. This helps prevent unsustainable local practices, such as cutting down trees illegally and overuse of firewood.
For Jean, the impact of these training programs goes beyond himself. “Thanks to these training programs, we’ve become pioneers, showing the young in our villages that other career paths are out there and within reach,” he said. Jean’s example shows sustainable work can rebuild communities. UNESCO’s training programme in Madagascar lights hope, benefiting both the young and the environment in the long run.
1.What does Jean think of his previous work?
A.Risky and low-paid. B.Pioneering but boring.
C.Stressful and fast-paced. D.Meaningful but time-consuming.
2.What’s the purpose of the training programme?
A.To better locals’ living standards. B.To advance the tourism industry.
C.To provide environmental career options. D.To help the young complete education.
3.Why are the two national parks mentioned in paragraph 4?
A.To prove the necessity of the project.
B.To highlight young people’s preference for them.
C.To compare their roles in conducting the project.
D.To call for international attention to park maintenance.
4.Which of the following can describe the programme?
A.Temporary. B.Far-reaching.
C.Short-sighted. D.Entertaining.
Passage 5
(24-25高一下·山东威海·期末)In a world where tree-dwelling animals (树栖动物) must brave traffic every day just to find lunch, a Brazilian biologist called Fernanda Abra is stepping in to help — by building special rope bridges that let animals stay in the trees and avoid the dangers below.
The idea came to Abra years ago when she spotted a Groves’ titi monkey — a species close to extinction — sitting dangerously close to a road. “It was totally left unprotected from cars,” she recalls. That moment set off a mission to protect Brazil’s wildlife, which loses about 475million wild animals yearly to car accidents. Partnering with the native people. Abra started the Reconecta Project. Together, they’ve built over 30 canopy (树冠) bridges along a long highway through the Amazon.
These overpasses aren’t just simple rope-and-wood structures. Each bridge is a high-tech design, equipped with cameras to monitor animals crossing. The videos show which species are frequent crossers, and which ones still avoid the bridges. The data helps improve designs, turning unwilling animals into regular crossers.
But the bridges do more than protect animals from being killed on the road. By reconnecting once-separated forest areas, they help animals move around more easily, find food, and even meet partners. For species that live alone, this could mean more chances to survive and grow their populations.
Abra’s work couldn’t be timelier. The fast growth of road construction in Brazil is hurting the natural homes of animals. Yet her team isn’t just building bridges — they’re adding speed bumps (减速带) on roads and posting animal-crossing signs to remind drivers they’ re sharing the roads. The project’s success has even caught global attention, mirroring efforts like California’s mountain lion-friendly freeway overpass.
Now, Reconecta is branching out. Abra is bringing together government departments, nonprofits, and universities to weave more green threads across Brazil’s road network. “Brazil has an amazing biodiversity (生物多样性),” she said. “I will do everything that I can to protect this rich biodiversity.”
1.What was the direct reason for Abra to start Reconecta?
A.Desiring to partner with natives.
B.Knowing the yearly animal death rate.
C.Noticing animals endangered by traffic.
D.Worrying about the loss of Amazon rainforest.
2.What are the cameras on the canopy bridges used to do?
A.Help animals to find food. B.Monitor species populations.
C.Scare off enemies for monkeys. D.Record crossings for better designs.
3.Why is California’s freeway overpass mentioned?
A.To point out timely actions are needed.
B.To introduce a new method for animal protection.
C.To show the Reconecta Project is getting global attention.
D.To stress shared challenges in road construction worldwide.
4.What is the passage mainly about?
A.The lifelines built in the treetops for wildlife.
B.The value of protecting Amazon’s biodiversity.
C.The need for combined efforts to protect wildlife.
D.The risks caused by Brazil’s highway development.
Passage 6
(24-25高一下·海南海口·期末)In a village surrounded by endless desert dunes, two brave kids, Aarav and Zoya, dreamed of finding a legendary treasure that was said to be hidden by ancient people. Several daring villagers had previously failed in their attempts, but these two courageous boys were inspired by the stories of courage and were determined to go on an adventure to find the treasure.
Their journey was full of challenges. They had to figure out old writings and solve tricky puzzles that tested their smartness and bravery. The desert, with its moving sands and illusions, was hard to cross. But through every difficulty, their friendship grew stronger.

Passage 7
(24-25高一下·重庆·期末)Climbing, I once thought, was a very manly activity, but as I found my way into this activity, I came to see that something quite different happens on the rock.
Like wild swimming, rock climbing involves you into the landscape. On the rock, I am fully focused. Eyes pay close attention, ears are alert (警觉的), and hands move across the surface. Unlike walking, where I could happily wander about absent-mindedly, in climbing, attentive observation is essential.
As an arts student studying English literature, I discovered a new type of reading from outdoor climbing. Going out on to the crags (悬崖), I saw how you could learn to read the rocks and develop a vocabulary of physical movements. Good climbers knew how to adjust their bodies on to the stone. Watching them, I wanted to possess that skillful “language”.
My progress happened when I worked for the Caingorms National Park Authority. Guiding my explorations into this strange new landscape was Nan Shepherd, a lady too. Unlike the goal-directed mindset of many mountaineers, she is not concerned with peaks or personal achievement. Shepherd sees the mountain as a total environment and she praises the Caingorms as a place alive with plants, rocks, animals and elements. Through her generous spirit and my own curiosity, I saw that rock climbing need not be a process of testing oneself against anything. Rather, the intensity of focus could develop a person into another way of being.
Spending so much time in high and stony places has transformed my view on the world and our place in it. I have come into physical contact with processes that go way beyond the everyday. Working with gravity, geology (地质学), rhythms of weather and deep time, I gain an actual relationship with the earth. This bond lies at the heart of my passion for rock climbing. I return to the rocks, because this is where I feel in contact with our land.

Passage 8
(24-25高一下·陕西西安·期末)Being cut from a school team can be a difficult experience for a kid. But when 13-year-old Emmie Tallent who has Down syndrome (唐氏综合征) didn’t make her school’s cheer squad (啦啦队), she responded in the most impressive way — she cheered anyway. Emmie Tallent, agirl with firm determination, took to the sidelines while her school’s cheer squad performed. She matched the entire routine, moving for moving, in a black dress and tie-dyed shoes.
Her sister, Sydnee, recorded this moment on video, and it’s now capturing hearts worldwide. The video, with over 3 million views and 87,000 likes, shows Emmie facing the official squad and performing the routine alongside them. Her performance is nothing short of inspiring. “Girl didn’t make the cheer team, but she didn’t care,” Sydnee wrote, admiring Emmie’s confidence.
“Emmie may not be on the cheer team this time, but I’m sure her talent and spirit will shine through somewhere in the future,” Sydnee said with a smile. “Right now, she’s satisfied and happy doing what she loves. Thank you all for supporting her. I want to show the world Emmie’s joy from pursuing what she likes and the beauty of diversity.”
The team did not have a lot of spots and even neurotypical (神经正常的) girls who were much better than Emmie didn’t make it to join it. Emmie’s school was giving Emmie help and kept encouraging her, but there are hard decisions that have to be made sometimes. Though Emmie didn’t make the squad, she wasn’t feeling upset at home, and continued to follow cheer squad’s routines and moves to please herself and spread joy to others, even if from the sidelines.
In the face of rejection, this tough 13-year-old chose to dance rather than sit by and let it define her, inspiring us all to embrace our uniqueness and find joy in every moment.

Passage 9
(24-25高一下·四川成都·期末)For professional tap dancer and educator Quynn Johnson, tap dance (踢踏舞) is a never-ending process.
“There are levels of tap dance that for me still have yet to be unlocked. I still have a lot to do to unlock those energies, emotions and exploration for myself. So anytime I get to put the shoes on, it’s an opportunity to unlock those things,” Johnson said in an interview with The Crimson.
Born and raised in Flint, Mich., the youngest of three girls, Johnson was put in tap dance by her parents to follow her sisters’ footsteps. While her sisters eventually moved away from tap dance, Johnson stuck with it.
As Johnson kept dancing throughout her early life, she came to love it deeply. She would dance everywhere. In her words, “My feet were always moving.” When it came to choosing tap dance as a career, she said, “I needed money. A friend of mine shared with me a studio that was looking for a tap teacher, so I started teaching many kids tap there, and I really just fell in love with it — and it became a career.”
Education is a major part of Johnson’s company, Sole Defined, which she co-founded with another performing artist. Sole Defined has two branches — one is focused on staging live shows, and the other goes around the world teaching students literacy (识字) and math skills through tap dance.
“We’re able to tap into students’ background knowledge about different things, which they may not learn by just sitting in a classroom and memorizing. So using elements of tap dance like beat and allowing them to physically embody the knowledge in movement just betters their understanding,” she said.
1.What does Johnson think of tap dance?
A.It takes a great deal of energy. B.It reduces her negative emotions.
C.It serves as a tradition of her family. D.It is a lifelong process of self-exploration.
2.What led Johnson to choose tap dance as a career?
A.Her talent in tap dance. B.Her passion for teaching tap.
C.Pressures of everyday life. D.Requirements from her parents.
3.What does the teaching of Sole Defined feature?
A.Giving lessons in the open air.
B.Preparing students for live shows.
C.Training students’ communicating skills.
D.Connecting knowledge to body movements.
4.Which words can best describe Johnson?
A.Energetic and elegant. B.Creative and devoted.
C.Passionate and generous. D.Independent and reliable.

哲理感悟
Passage 1
(24-25高一下·山东潍坊·期末)Our 12-year-old television broke down. Its slow death began with a warning that flashed across the screen one night: This function is not available now. I tried cleaning the remote control, restarting the TV and updating the system. Nothing worked.
I thought about getting a new TV, but we didn’t have the money to replace it. I spent hours online researching and concluded the motherboard (主板) was near the end of its life.
Motherboard. The word held significance. I heard it as two words: mother bored. With my younger son, Henry, away at college, my role as a mom had taken a big turn. I was still trying to get used to this change. I was, honestly, a little bored. I had just thought about watching Henry’s favorite TV show Jeopardy after dinner to kill time, but now the annoying warning ruined my relaxation.
I wished the TV would fix itself, but the warning came more often as the week went on. Disappointed, I decided to settle down with a book instead. I searched my bookshelf and found a historical novel that I’d been given as a gift a few years ago but never read.
The first few nights, I was restless. I fought the desire to pick up my phone and research new TVs or check social media. But once I got lost in the book, everything changed. A new level of relaxation opened, and a deep sense of peace filled my day and even my night’s sleep.
We moved the broken TV out of the living room. Now when I think about that annoying warning, I feel thankful. I realize that blessings sometimes enter our lives disguised as problems, and the answer isn’t always getting something new but rediscovering gifts we already have.
1.Which part of the TV was broken?
A.System. B.Screen. C.Motherboard. D.Remote control.
2.Why did the author hear “motherboard” as “mother bored”?
A.She was annoyed at the warning. B.She felt empty with her son’s absence.
C.She adapted to the role of being a mom. D.She found watching Jeopardy a waste of time.
3.What did the author turn to finally?
A.Her phone. B.A book. C.New TVs. D.Social media.
4.What does the author’s experience show?
A.Knowledge is power. B.All roads lead to Rome.
C.It is never too old to learn. D.Good can come out of bad.
【答案】1.C 2.B 3.B 4.D

Located deep in the mountains, the village was struck by poverty. Despite all challenges, Yuan believes that it was a precious experience growing up among his students. “I did not come here on a whim. I love teaching from the bottom of my heart, ” says Yuan, who teaches a variety of courses, including history, geography and music, in different primary and middle schools in Enshi.

To achieve that goal, Yuan designed a lot of activity-based courses, encouraging children to express themselves more confidently. Yuan’s unique teaching methods became more popular in the county, and other schools invited him to deliver lectures. “I think I’m living a happy life, ” he said in one of his lectures.

Passage 2
(24-25高一下·重庆·期末)From a talented child to entertainment all-star, award-winning singer-songwriter John Legend makes success look easy. His background provides plenty of reasons for his musical abilities.
He was born on December 28, 1978, into a very musical family, all active participants in the church. John’s grandmother played the organ, his mother directed the church choir and his father and brother played the drums.
During John’s boyhood, his mother taught him at home for a few years. His grandmother discovered the child’s musical genius when he was 4 and began to give him piano lessons. By age 6, he was singing in the church choir. According to John, “I knew from a pretty early age that I wanted to keep making music.”
Besides his love of music, he had a strong desire to learn. He excelled at school, skipped two grades and entered high school at age 12. And at 16, he graduated second in his class. He received offers from Harvard and scholarships from Georgetown University.

In 2004 he released his first album and won his first Grammy Award! Since then he has collected nine more. In 2018 Legend became one of the youngest people and the first African-American man to complete an EGOT.
Legend has used his fame to help those in need and to promote school reform, involved in a large number of charitable organizations. Despite all of Legend’s accomplishments, he seldom talks much about his own abilities. On his album, Darkness and Light, he sang, “Legend is just a name; I know better than to be so proud.” In reality, though, the accomplished musician has lived up to his name and become a legend in his time.

Passage 1
(24-25高一下·山东济南·期末)In Tallahassee, Florida, there’s a high school science teacher named Yennifer Castillo, who reshapes not just classrooms but college students’ future.
For Castillo, teaching is to make a dream come true. She devotes herself to decorating her classroom each summer, inspired by the teachers she had when growing up. She documents her beautifully handmade classroom decorations based on favorite childhood shows and movies such as Lilo & Stitch and posts videos on social media, making herself a hit. She believes in the power of applying social media to inspiring others.
However, it is far from easy. She says it typically takes the entire summer to prepare, and she spends between $300 and $400 each school year. But it’s totally worth it, as she adds, to make her students welcome and comfortable and know someone takes the time to invite them in.
Castillo is also making a lasting impact beyond her school walls, with her masterpiece Annual College Essentials Basket Giveaway. Since 2018, she has collected and donated baskets filled with necessities like sheets, comforters, and school supplies to first-year college students. “I started this giveaway because I know firsthand how tough it can be to start college without the basics.” Castillo says, drawing from her own story. Her mission is clear: to reduce financial burdens and remind them they’re never alone. This year, she’s invited the world to join her through a GoFundMe campaign, expanding the ripple (连锁反应) of kindness.
As Castillo puts it, “It doesn’t matter how far you go in life. You can always give back to your community. If everyone does just one act of kindness, the world will be a better place.”

Passage 2
(24-25高一下·山东济南·期末)A rural doctor travels miles of unforgiving land by donkey, enduring cold, rain, wind and exhaustion, to visit several dozen families scattered across the highest mountain in the north of Argentina.
Dr. Jorge Fusaro has organized medical tours three times a year for the past four years across Chañi, a sacred mountain, which has extreme temperatures, year-round snowy peaks. Fusaro is not only the only doctor many people see, sometimes he’s the only outsider. Doctors may be the only representatives of the state to reach this mountainous region.
There are no schools, police, or postal services. Fusaro not only treats residents and leaves enough medicine, he also helps them with paperwork, serves as a mail carrier for delivering important documents to relatives in the city, and organizes training sessions, etc.
“Knowing that our medical work gave these communities a better life fills my heart. If we don’t go, no one will,” he reflects. He’s worried that government cuts will make future trips impossible. He’s already had to cancel one trip due to lack of funding.
For some people, his arrival is the first time they’ve seen a doctor. It’s almost noon, in Ovejería, a settlement where only 67-year-old Doña Virginia Cari and her family remain. Fusaro helps her prepare lunch. He chats about her life and chores. “My idea of sharing is essential. Making the most of the short time we spend in the communities and trying to live as they do,” he said. “That way, we understand their efforts and worries, their knee or back pain. If they don’t have a bed and we need to sleep on a sheep’s hide, we do it. This helps us think of medical solutions within their possibilities and daily lives.”
Doña Virginia says it’s important for her and her family to see Fusaro a few times a year. “He brings the medicines we take here for months,” she said. “The work with animals is hard; we’re old, and our bodies ache.”

Passage 3
(24-25高一下·山东枣庄·期末)81-year-old Australian blood donor, James Harrison, known as the “Man with the Golden Arm,” has retired after saving the lives of 2.4 million babies over the course of more than half a century.
When Harrison was 14, he got sick and had to have one of his lungs removed. The process involved a three-month hospital stay, and nearly two gallons of donated blood. It inspired him to donate his own later—despite his fear to needles. In 1954, as soon as he hit the legal age of 18, Harrison started giving blood and plasma.
Harrison’s blood contains an extremely rare antibody, which doctors believe has to do with the blood he received earlier. Once Harrison learned he possessed anti-D, he was happy to continue to donate in order to help as many people as possible. Harrison donated blood and plasma 1,173 times, every two weeks between 1954 and 2018. All but 10 were from his right arm.
“He was committed to a lifetime of giving and he captured the hearts of many people around the world,” Lifeblood CEO Stephen Cornelissen said in a statement. He “never missed a single appointment,” the agency said, and “expected nothing in return”. Blood donors are not compensated (补偿) financially under Australian law.
Harrison officially retired at age 81, the maximum age for blood donations under Australian law. He made his last donation in May 2018, surrounded by half a dozen grateful mothers holding babies who benefited from the anti-D program.
In fact, Harrison was reluctant to retire, telling the Sydney Morning Herald that “I’d keep on going if they let me.” But he is pleased to know that Australia has about 200 anti-D donors who help around 45,000 mothers and babies annually, according to Lifeblood. He believes they are dedicated to the cause.
1.Why did Harrison decide to donate blood himself?
A.He reached legal age for donation. B.He benefited from it as a patient.
C.His blood contains a rare antibody. D.He wanted to make a new record.
2.What can we learn about Harrison from Stephen’s words?
A.He is selfless. B.He is honest. C.He is brave. D.He is grateful.
3.How did Harrison feel about his retirement?
A.Indifferent. B.Delighted. C.Unwilling. D.Satisfied.
4.What does Harrison’s story show?
A.Giving is living. B.Hard work pays off.
C.Live and learn. D.No pains, no gains.
【答案】1.B 2.A 3.C 4.A

Passage 4
(24-25高一下·山东烟台·期末)Madagascar is home to amazing forest ecosystems, many of which are at risk due to human activities. UNESCO’s professional training programme is giving hands-on skills to over 60 young people, unlocking new careers with environmental efforts.
Jean, a young local guy, worked for a long time as a day labourer, taking on various dangerous jobs in construction. “I could only earn about $7 per day at such dangerous conditions,” he explains.
His situation changed completely when he joined UNESCO’s BIOCOM project training programme, which aims to give job choices of preventing the destructive use of forest resources and supporting environmental protection for communities living in and around Madagascar’s national parks. After the training, Jean became a metalworker and created eco-friendly park facilities, like trash bins and signposts, reducing wood consumption. He now earns $20 daily, proving green jobs pay better and protect forests.
Despite Jean’s individual success, there are broader challenges. In his community, many young people face challenges in completing education and obtaining training. Half of those who enter secondary school fail to graduate. Lacking opportunities, many turn to harvest resources directly in the surrounding national parks, often in unsustainable ways, which threatens the other two BIOCOM project sites: Marojejy National Park and Andohahela National Park, both of which have been on the List of World Heritage in Danger since 2010.
UNESCO’s program equips regional youth with skills for green careers. This helps prevent unsustainable local practices, such as cutting down trees illegally and overuse of firewood.
For Jean, the impact of these training programs goes beyond himself. “Thanks to these training programs, we’ve become pioneers, showing the young in our villages that other career paths are out there and within reach,” he said. Jean’s example shows sustainable work can rebuild communities. UNESCO’s training programme in Madagascar lights hope, benefiting both the young and the environment in the long run.
1.What does Jean think of his previous work?
A.Risky and low-paid. B.Pioneering but boring.
C.Stressful and fast-paced. D.Meaningful but time-consuming.
2.What’s the purpose of the training programme?
A.To better locals’ living standards. B.To advance the tourism industry.
C.To provide environmental career options. D.To help the young complete education.
3.Why are the two national parks mentioned in paragraph 4?
A.To prove the necessity of the project.
B.To highlight young people’s preference for them.
C.To compare their roles in conducting the project.
D.To call for international attention to park maintenance.
4.Which of the following can describe the programme?
A.Temporary. B.Far-reaching.
C.Short-sighted. D.Entertaining.
【答案】1.A 2.C 3.A 4.B

2.细节理解题。 根据第三段的“His situation changed completely when he joined UNESCO’s BIOCOM project training programme, which aims to give job choices of preventing the destructive use of forest resources and supporting environmental protection for communities living in and around Madagascar’s national parks.(当他加入联合国教科文组织的BIOCOM项目培训计划时,他的情况完全改变了,该计划旨在为生活在马达加斯加国家公园内及周围的社区提供防止森林资源破坏性利用和支持环境保护的工作选择)”可知,培训计划的目的是提供环保职业选择。故选C。
3.推理判断题。 根据第四段的“Lacking opportunities, many turn to harvest resources directly in the surrounding national parks, often in unsustainable ways, which threatens the other two BIOCOM project sites: Marojejy National Park and Andohahela National Park, both of which have been on the List of World Heritage in Danger since 2010.(由于缺乏机会,许多人转向直接在周围的国家公园开采资源,往往以不可持续的方式进行,这威胁到了另外两个BIOCOM项目地点:Marojejy国家公园和Andohahela国家公园,这两个公园自2010年以来一直被列入世界遗产濒危名录)”可知,许多年轻人因为缺乏机会而转向不可持续的资源开采方式,这威胁到了两个国家公园,从而证明了项目的必要性。故选A。
4.推理判断题。 根据最后一段“Jean’s example shows sustainable work can rebuild communities. UNESCO’s training programme in Madagascar lights hope, benefiting both the young and the environment in the long run.(Jean的例子表明,可持续的工作可以重建社区。联合国教科文组织在马达加斯加的培训计划点燃了希望,从长远来看,这对年轻人和环境都有利)”可推知,该计划具有深远的影响。故选B。
Passage 5
(24-25高一下·山东威海·期末)In a world where tree-dwelling animals (树栖动物) must brave traffic every day just to find lunch, a Brazilian biologist called Fernanda Abra is stepping in to help — by building special rope bridges that let animals stay in the trees and avoid the dangers below.
The idea came to Abra years ago when she spotted a Groves’ titi monkey — a species close to extinction — sitting dangerously close to a road. “It was totally left unprotected from cars,” she recalls. That moment set off a mission to protect Brazil’s wildlife, which loses about 475million wild animals yearly to car accidents. Partnering with the native people. Abra started the Reconecta Project. Together, they’ve built over 30 canopy (树冠) bridges along a long highway through the Amazon.
These overpasses aren’t just simple rope-and-wood structures. Each bridge is a high-tech design, equipped with cameras to monitor animals crossing. The videos show which species are frequent crossers, and which ones still avoid the bridges. The data helps improve designs, turning unwilling animals into regular crossers.
But the bridges do more than protect animals from being killed on the road. By reconnecting once-separated forest areas, they help animals move around more easily, find food, and even meet partners. For species that live alone, this could mean more chances to survive and grow their populations.
Abra’s work couldn’t be timelier. The fast growth of road construction in Brazil is hurting the natural homes of animals. Yet her team isn’t just building bridges — they’re adding speed bumps (减速带) on roads and posting animal-crossing signs to remind drivers they’ re sharing the roads. The project’s success has even caught global attention, mirroring efforts like California’s mountain lion-friendly freeway overpass.
Now, Reconecta is branching out. Abra is bringing together government departments, nonprofits, and universities to weave more green threads across Brazil’s road network. “Brazil has an amazing biodiversity (生物多样性),” she said. “I will do everything that I can to protect this rich biodiversity.”
1.What was the direct reason for Abra to start Reconecta?
A.Desiring to partner with natives.
B.Knowing the yearly animal death rate.
C.Noticing animals endangered by traffic.
D.Worrying about the loss of Amazon rainforest.
2.What are the cameras on the canopy bridges used to do?
A.Help animals to find food. B.Monitor species populations.
C.Scare off enemies for monkeys. D.Record crossings for better designs.
3.Why is California’s freeway overpass mentioned?
A.To point out timely actions are needed.
B.To introduce a new method for animal protection.
C.To show the Reconecta Project is getting global attention.
D.To stress shared challenges in road construction worldwide.
4.What is the passage mainly about?
A.The lifelines built in the treetops for wildlife.
B.The value of protecting Amazon’s biodiversity.
C.The need for combined efforts to protect wildlife.
D.The risks caused by Brazil’s highway development.
【答案】1.C 2.D 3.C 4.A
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章报道了巴西生物学家Fernanda Abra发起并推进的“Reconecta项目”,该项目通过建造特殊的绳索桥来帮助树栖动物避开地面交通的危险,保护巴西的野生动物。
1.细节理解题。根据文章第二段“The idea came to Abra years ago when she spotted a Groves’ titi monkey — a species close to extinction — sitting dangerously close to a road. “It was totally left unprotected from cars,” she recalls. That moment set off a mission to protect Brazil’s wildlife, which loses about 475million wild animals yearly to car accidents. Partnering with the native people. Abra started the Reconecta Project. (几年前,Abra看到一只格罗夫斯狨猴(一种濒临灭绝的物种)坐在离公路很近的危险地方,这个想法便在她心中萌生了。“它完全暴露在车流威胁之下,毫无保护,”她回忆道。那一刻,她开启了一项保护巴西野生动物的使命——巴西每年约有4.75亿只野生动物死于车祸。Abra与当地人合作,启动了“Reconecta计划”。)”可知,Abra启动 Reconecta 项目的直接原因是她亲眼目睹了一只濒临灭绝的猴子处于车流威胁中,即注意到动物受到交通威胁。故选C。
2.细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Each bridge is a high-tech design, equipped with cameras to monitor animals crossing. The videos show which species are frequent crossers, and which ones still avoid the bridges. The data helps improve designs, turning unwilling animals into regular crossers. (每座桥都是高科技设计,配备了摄像头来监测过路的动物。视频会显示哪些物种经常使用天桥,哪些仍然对天桥避而远之。这些数据有助于改进桥的设计,让不愿使用天桥的动物也变成常客。)”可知,树冠桥上的摄像头用于监测动物的通行情况(记录哪些物种常使用、哪些避开),收集的数据能帮助改进桥梁设计。故选D。
3.推理判断题。根据文章第五段“The project’s success has even caught global attention, mirroring efforts like California’s mountain lion-friendly freeway overpass. (该项目的成功甚至引起了全球关注,与美国加利福尼亚州为美洲狮打造的友好型高速公路天桥等举措遥相呼应。)”可知,文中提到加利福尼亚州的高速公路天桥,是为了举例说明 Reconecta 项目的成功引起了全球关注,与其他地区的动物保护举措形成呼应。故选C。

Their journey was full of challenges. They had to figure out old writings and solve tricky puzzles that tested their smartness and bravery. The desert, with its moving sands and illusions, was hard to cross. But through every difficulty, their friendship grew stronger. They helped each other during tough times, celebrated small successes, and comforted each other even when things went wrong and seemed hopeless.
As days went by, they sometimes did feel uncertain and worried. But their friendship shone the brightest when they needed it most. When Zoya felt tired, Aarav cheered her up; when Aarav was feeling down, Zoya motivated him. They realized that the adventure was not just about finding the treasure, but about appreciating the friendship they built along the way.
At last, under a bright full moon, they found a hidden cave filled with shining gold and jewels. As they looked at their discovery, they fully understood that the real treasure was not the riches but the moments they shared — the laughter, the tears, and the strong bond they had formed.
Aarav and Zoya returned to their village with happy hearts and shared the gold and jewels with the villagers, telling about the adventure they had made and the precious friendship they had found.
1.What motivated Aarav and Zoya to make their adventure?
A.A map they found in the village. B.The tricky puzzles they were told.

【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了两个勇敢的孩子阿拉夫(Aarav)和佐亚(Zoya)在沙漠中寻找传说中的宝藏的冒险故事,最终他们发现真正的宝藏是彼此之间的友谊和共同经历的时光。
1.细节理解题。根据第一段中“Several daring villagers had previously failed in their attempts, but these two courageous boys were inspired by the stories of courage and were determined to go on an adventure to find the treasure.(此前有几个大胆的村民尝试过但都失败了,但这两个勇敢的男孩被这些勇敢的故事所鼓舞,决心去冒险寻找宝藏)”可知,阿拉夫和佐亚是被关于传说中的宝藏的勇敢故事所激励,决定进行这次冒险的。故选C。
2.词句猜测题。根据第二段中“They had to figure out old writings and solve tricky puzzles that tested their smartness and bravery.(他们必须figure out古老的文字,解决考验他们智慧和勇气的棘手谜题)”可知,他们需要理解古老的文字,解决复杂的谜题,所以figure out在此处意为“理解”,与A选项“Understanding(理解)”意思相同。故选A。
3.细节理解题。根据第二段中“The desert, with its moving sands and illusions, was hard to cross. They had to figure out old writings and solve tricky puzzles that tested their smartness and bravery.(沙漠里有流动的沙子和幻影,很难穿越。他们必须理解古老的文字,解决考验他们智慧和勇气的棘手谜题)”可知,阿拉夫和佐亚面临的挑战包括穿越流动的沙子和解决复杂的谜题。故选B。
4.主旨大意题。根据最后一段中“As they looked at their discovery, they fully understood that the real treasure was not the riches but the moments they shared — the laughter, the tears, and the strong bond they had formed.(当他们看着自己的发现时,他们完全明白真正的宝藏不是财富,而是他们共同分享的时刻——欢笑、泪水以及他们之间形成的牢固纽带)”以及结合全文内容可知,文章主要讲述了两个孩子在寻找宝藏的过程中,发现真正的宝藏是彼此之间的友谊和共同经历的时光,所以B选项“真正的宝藏”最适合作为文章标题。故选B。
Passage 7
(24-25高一下·重庆·期末)Climbing, I once thought, was a very manly activity, but as I found my way into this activity, I came to see that something quite different happens on the rock.
Like wild swimming, rock climbing involves you into the landscape. On the rock, I am fully focused. Eyes pay close attention, ears are alert (警觉的), and hands move across the surface. Unlike walking, where I could happily wander about absent-mindedly, in climbing, attentive observation is essential.
As an arts student studying English literature, I discovered a new type of reading from outdoor climbing. Going out on to the crags (悬崖), I saw how you could learn to read the rocks and develop a vocabulary of physical movements. Good climbers knew how to adjust their bodies on to the stone. Watching them, I wanted to possess that skillful “language”.
My progress happened when I worked for the Caingorms National Park Authority. Guiding my explorations into this strange new landscape was Nan Shepherd, a lady too. Unlike the goal-directed mindset of many mountaineers, she is not concerned with peaks or personal achievement. Shepherd sees the mountain as a total environment and she praises the Caingorms as a place alive with plants, rocks, animals and elements. Through her generous spirit and my own curiosity, I saw that rock climbing need not be a process of testing oneself against anything. Rather, the intensity of focus could develop a person into another way of being.
Spending so much time in high and stony places has transformed my view on the world and our place in it. I have come into physical contact with processes that go way beyond the everyday. Working with gravity, geology (地质学), rhythms of weather and deep time, I gain an actual relationship with the earth. This bond lies at the heart of my passion for rock climbing. I return to the rocks, because this is where I feel in contact with our land.
1.What does the writer find important in climbing?
A.Balance. B.Concentration.
C.Determination. D.Perseverance
2.According to paragraph 3, how does the author describe outdoor climbing?
A.Physical tests against rocks
B.The process of learning to read rocks and developing body language.

3.What does the writer learn from Nan Shepherd?
A.Climbing goes together with nature.
B.Every mountain top is within reach.
C.The best climber focuses on personal achievement.
D.You can not achieve high unless you change.
4.Why does the author like rock climbing?
A.It challenges her to compete with men.
B.It allows her a unique attitude toward rock.
C.It teaches her how to possess a new language.
D.It makes her feel connected with the earth.
【答案】1.B 2.B 3.A 4.D
【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章主要讲述了作者喜欢攀岩,以及作者对攀岩的理解和从攀岩中得到的感悟。
1.细节理解题。根据文章第二段“On the rock, I am fully focused. Eyes pay close attention, ears are alert (警觉的), and hands move across the surface. Unlike walking, where I could happily wander about absent-mindedly, in climbing, attentive observation is essential.(站在岩壁上,我全神贯注,双眼紧盯,双耳警觉,双手在岩面摸索前行。与漫步时可以心不在焉、悠然自得不同,攀岩时,专注的观察至关重要。)”可知,作者发现攀岩时专注很重要。故选B。
2.细节理解题。根据第三段“Going out on to the crags (悬崖), I saw how you could learn to read the rocks and develop a vocabulary of physical movements.(走到悬崖边,我见识到如何学会解读岩石,并形成一套身体动作的“词汇”。)”可知,作者觉得户外攀岩是学习读石头和发展肢体语言的过程。故选B。
3.推理判断题。根据第四段“Shepherd sees the mountain as a total environment and she praises the Caingorms as a place alive with plants, rocks, animals and elements.(Shepherd将山脉视为一个完整的生态环境,她盛赞Caingorms是一个生机勃勃之地,遍布着植物、岩石、动物和各种自然元素。)”可知,作者从Shepherd身上学到攀登与大自然融为一体。故选A。
4.细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“Working with gravity, geology (地质学), rhythms of weather and deep time, I gain an actual relationship with the earth. This bond lies at the heart of my passion for rock climbing. I return to the rocks, because this is where I feel in contact with our land.(在与重力、地质、天气变化和漫长地质时间的互动中,我与大地建立了实实在在的联系。这份联结正是我热爱攀岩的核心所在。我一次次回到岩壁,因为在这里,我感受到与这片土地紧密相连。)”可知,作者喜欢攀岩是因为攀岩使她感到与大地相连。故选D。
Passage 8
(24-25高一下·陕西西安·期末)Being cut from a school team can be a difficult experience for a kid. But when 13-year-old Emmie Tallent who has Down syndrome (唐氏综合征) didn’t make her school’s cheer squad (啦啦队), she responded in the most impressive way — she cheered anyway. Emmie Tallent, agirl with firm determination, took to the sidelines while her school’s cheer squad performed. She matched the entire routine, moving for moving, in a black dress and tie-dyed shoes.
Her sister, Sydnee, recorded this moment on video, and it’s now capturing hearts worldwide. The video, with over 3 million views and 87,000 likes, shows Emmie facing the official squad and performing the routine alongside them. Her performance is nothing short of inspiring. “Girl didn’t make the cheer team, but she didn’t care,” Sydnee wrote, admiring Emmie’s confidence.
“Emmie may not be on the cheer team this time, but I’m sure her talent and spirit will shine through somewhere in the future,” Sydnee said with a smile. “Right now, she’s satisfied and happy doing what she loves. Thank you all for supporting her. I want to show the world Emmie’s joy from pursuing what she likes and the beauty of diversity.”
The team did not have a lot of spots and even neurotypical (神经正常的) girls who were much better than Emmie didn’t make it to join it. Emmie’s school was giving Emmie help and kept encouraging her, but there are hard decisions that have to be made sometimes. Though Emmie didn’t make the squad, she wasn’t feeling upset at home, and continued to follow cheer squad’s routines and moves to please herself and spread joy to others, even if from the sidelines.
In the face of rejection, this tough 13-year-old chose to dance rather than sit by and let it define her, inspiring us all to embrace our uniqueness and find joy in every moment.
1.What do we know about Emmie from the first two paragraphs?
A.She refused to give up performing. B.She used to be looked down upon.
C.She showed a special talent for cheerleading. D.She felt down for not joining the cheer squad.

1.细节理解题。根据第一段“Emmie Tallent, agirl with firm determination, took to the sidelines while her school’s cheer squad performed. She matched the entire routine, moving for moving, in a black dress and tie-dyed shoes.(埃米·塔伦特,一个有着坚定决心的女孩,在学校啦啦队表演时站在场边。她穿着一件黑色连衣裙和扎染的鞋子,配合着整个动作,不停地移动)”以及第二段“The video, with over 3 million views and 87,000 likes, shows Emmie facing the official squad and performing the routine alongside them.

2.推理判断题。根据第三段““Emmie may not be on the cheer team this time, but I’m sure her talent and spirit will shine through somewhere in the future,” Sydnee said with a smile. “Right now, she’s satisfied and happy doing what she loves.

Passage 9
(24-25高一下·四川成都·期末)For professional tap dancer and educator Quynn Johnson, tap dance (踢踏舞) is a never-ending process.
“There are levels of tap dance that for me still have yet to be unlocked. I still have a lot to do to unlock those energies, emotions and exploration for myself. So anytime I get to put the shoes on, it’s an opportunity to unlock those things,” Johnson said in an interview with The Crimson.
Born and raised in Flint, Mich., the youngest of three girls, Johnson was put in tap dance by her parents to follow her sisters’ footsteps. While her sisters eventually moved away from tap dance, Johnson stuck with it.
As Johnson kept dancing throughout her early life, she came to love it deeply. She would dance everywhere. In her words, “My feet were always moving.” When it came to choosing tap dance as a career, she said, “I needed money. A friend of mine shared with me a studio that was looking for a tap teacher, so I started teaching many kids tap there, and I really just fell in love with it — and it became a career.”
Education is a major part of Johnson’s company, Sole Defined, which she co-founded with another performing artist. Sole Defined has two branches — one is focused on staging live shows, and the other goes around the world teaching students literacy (识字) and math skills through tap dance.
“We’re able to tap into students’ background knowledge about different things, which they may not learn by just sitting in a classroom and memorizing. So using elements of tap dance like beat and allowing them to physically embody the knowledge in movement just betters their understanding,” she said.
1.What does Johnson think of tap dance?
A.It takes a great deal of energy. B.It reduces her negative emotions.
C.It serves as a tradition of her family. D.It is a lifelong process of self-exploration.
2.What led Johnson to choose tap dance as a career?
A.Her talent in tap dance. B.Her passion for teaching tap.
C.Pressures of everyday life. D.Requirements from her parents.
3.What does the teaching of Sole Defined feature?
A.Giving lessons in the open air.
B.Preparing students for live shows.
C.Training students’ communicating skills.
D.Connecting knowledge to body movements.
4.Which words can best describe Johnson?
A.Energetic and elegant. B.Creative and devoted.
C.Passionate and generous. D.Independent and reliable.
【答案】1.D 2.B 3.D 4.B
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要通过采访专业踢踏舞者及教育者Quynn Johnson,介绍了她对踢踏舞的热爱、职业生涯的起步以及她如何将教育融入踢踏舞教学,特别是通过她创办的公司Sole Defined开展的相关活动。
1.推理判断题。根据文章第一段“For professional tap dancer and educator Quynn Johnson, tap dance (踢踏舞) is a never-ending process. (对于专业踢踏舞者兼教育家Quynn Johnson来说,踢踏舞是一个永无止境的探索过程。)”以及第二段““There are levels of tap dance that for me still have yet to be unlocked. I still have a lot to do to unlock those energies, emotions and exploration for myself. So anytime I get to put the shoes on, it’s an opportunity to unlock those things,” Johnson said in an interview with The Crimson. (“对我而言,踢踏舞还有许多层面有待解锁。我仍有很多事情要做,才能为自己解锁那些能量、情感与探索空间。所以,每次穿上踢踏舞鞋,都是一次解锁这些事物的机会。”Johnson在接受《克里姆森报》采访时说道。)”可知,Johnson认为踢踏舞是一个永无止境的过程,还有许多层面有待探索,每次跳舞都是解锁能量、情感和探索空间的机会,即踢踏舞是一个终身的自我探索过程。故选D。
2.细节理解题。根据文章第四段“When it came to choosing tap dance as a career, she said, “I needed money. A friend of mine shared with me a studio that was looking for a tap teacher, so I started teaching many kids tap there, and I really just fell in love with it -and it became a career.”(谈到选择踢踏舞作为职业时,她说:“我当时需要赚钱。一个朋友跟我说,有家工作室在找踢踏舞老师,于是我就开始在那儿教很多孩子跳踢踏舞,而且我是真的爱上了这份工作——它就这样成了我的职业。”)”可知,Johnson最初是为了赚钱开始教孩子踢踏舞,但在教学过程中深深爱上了这份工作,最终使其成为职业。因此,教踢踏舞的热爱让Johnson选择踢踏舞作为职业。故选B。
3.细节理解题。根据文章最后一段““We’re able to tap into students’ background knowledge about different things, which they may not learn by just sitting in a classroom and memorizing. So using elements of tap dance like beat and allowing them to physically embody the knowledge in movement just betters their understanding,” she said.(“我们能够挖掘学生在各种事物上的背景知识,这些知识单靠坐在教室里死记硬背可能学不到。所以,运用踢踏舞中的节拍等元素,让他们通过肢体动作亲身‘体现’知识,能加深他们的理解。”她说道。)”可知,其教学特色是将知识与身体动作相结合。故选D。
4.推理判断题。根据文章第三段“While her sisters eventually moved away from tap dance, Johnson stuck with it.(尽管姐姐们最终都放弃了踢踏舞,但Johnson却坚持了下来。)”可知,她对这一领域的投入;再根据文章最后一段““We’re able to tap into students’ background knowledge about different things, which they may not learn by just sitting in a classroom and memorizing. So using elements of tap dance like beat and allowing them to physically embody the knowledge in movement just betters their understanding,” she said.(“我们能够挖掘学生在各种事物上的背景知识,这些知识单靠坐在教室里死记硬背可能学不到。所以,运用踢踏舞中的节拍等元素,让他们通过肢体动作亲身‘体现’知识,能加深他们的理解。”她说道。)”可知,她与他人共同创立的 Sole Defined 通过踢踏舞的节拍等元素,让学生通过肢体动作理解知识,体现了其创造性。故选B。
