Passage 1
(24-25高一下·吉林延吉·期末)
As a six-year-old Canadian schoolboy, Ryan had trouble believing the words spoken by his teacher that many people in developing African countries couldn’t get enough clean water. He looked across the classroom at the drinking fountain. It was very close — only ten steps away. So, Ryan asked himself, “Why do some African children have to walk ten kilometres to get water every day? And why is the water so dirty that it makes them sick?” Young Ryan thought, “Life is easy for me; but hard for those people. Why don’t I help?”
At first, his plan was to earn money to build a single well somewhere in Africa. He cleaned windows and did gardening for his family and neighbours. He soon reached his first target of $70, but when he gave the money to a charity, he was told that it actually cost$2,000 to build a well. Two thousand dollars was a lot of money, but Ryan didn’t give up. He was determined to help other children have clean water. He started to ask for help from his classmates and neighbours and persuaded them to donate money. At the same time, a friend of Ryan’s mother helped make his story go public. After several months, Ryan had raised the $2,000, with which a well was built near a primary school in Uganda. The children at the school no longer needed to walk for hours to get water. They were grateful to him and invited him to visit.
In Uganda, Ryan at last saw the finished well with his own eyes. But that was not all. He also saw hundreds of delighted students who had turned out to welcome him. They sang and danced happily. Some even offered him food and gifts. At first Ryan was nervous, but soon a great warmth filled him. He really had made a difference for these children. He broke into a joyful smile.
Later, Ryan’s experience led him to set up a foundation to encourage more people to help. Many inspired people gave him their support. Ryan’s foundation continues to attract support from more and more people, so the work of building more wells can go on. Today, over 800,000 people in 16 countries across Africa have benefited from the life-changing gift of clean, safe water.
Now, as an adult, Ryan says that the question to ask is not “Why don’t I help?”, but “How can I help today?” This insight grew from the determined attitude of a six-year-old boy who had the courage and perseverance to make his dream a reality.

(24-25高一下·内蒙古·期末)
At dawn one April day, the top of the Huangshan Mountain was a world floating in a sea of clouds and pine trees as French photographer Nicolas Cornet quickly took photos of the breathtaking scene. This was Cornet’s eighth time at Huangshan Mountain in Anhui Province.
The Frenchman’s fascination with Huangshan Mountain began about a decade ago when he came across photos of the mountain by a Canadian photographer. He was immediately drawn by the mountain’s “mysterious landscape” and started planning his own trip there. In 2016, Cornet made his first visit to Huangshan Mountain. The moment he set eyes on the unusual pine trees (松树) and rock formations, and endless sea of clouds, he was fascinated.
That first encounter drew him back to Huangshan Mountain seven more times over the following nine years. For Cornet, the mountain never lost its charm as each season and each change in weather revealed a fresh landscape.
Cornet’s visits eventually paid off with a black-and-white photo series about the mountain posted on his photography website. In February this year, Cornet’s photographs were exhibited at the Xposure International Photography Festival in the United Arab Emirates. He says that while many visitors had never heard of the mountain before, some began planning trips after seeing his photos.
The photographer says Huangshan Mountain has offered him far more than amazing images; it has opened a window to Chinese hospitality (好客). He says that as Huangshan Mountain continues to gain international recognition, services have been improving to accommodate the growing number of overseas visitors. He also praises China’s visa-free entry policy (政策), which made his two most recent trips to Huangshan Mountain much easier.
He has already planned his next trip to Huangshan Mountain. With a new cable way set to open, he says he looks forward to exploring and photographing parts of the mountain that were previously less accessible. “It will open up new creative opportunities for me.”

Passage 3
(24-25高一下·内蒙古赤峰·期末)
In 2003, Amy Connor gave birth to twin boys ten weeks before her due date. After the birth,her sons were both struggling. “William’s heart kept stopping. James was on oxygen and his retina(视网膜) separated and he was going to be blind,” Connor recalled.
Doctors told the family that James needed a blood transfusion(输血). But there was a problem — babies born prematurely(过早地) can only be transfused with blood that meets much stricter requirements than blood used for adults. However, the hospital didn’t have any qualified blood for James. “The transfusion was absolutely necessary. Without it, he might die,” Connor.said.
“Quickly, the hospital put out a call to its donation organizations and told us that we were also able to put out a call. Anyone could come and donate if they wanted to.” This was over 20years ago, before social media existed. So, Connor and her family took the old-fashioned approach: email. “We emailed all of our friends and family, and they sent them out to all of their friends and family. Then we just waited, unsure if anyone would respond or if any of them would be a match,” Connor remembered.
The wait turned out to be worth it. Nearly 30 people showed up to the hospital to donate blood for James. Among those, only one was a match. “When I heard the news, it wasn’t even just a sigh of relief. It’s like you release all of this breath that you didn’t even know you were holding.” James got the blood he needed to survive.
Due to privacy laws, Connor and her family will never know who donated the blood. “If I could meet them,I would tell them: that one little act that took them probably only half an hour changed so many people’s lives,” Connor said tearfully.

Stray (流浪) Dog Brings Sick Newborn Puppy to Vet
The clinic’s security camera caught the action as the mother dog held her newborn pup in her mouth and walked through pouring rain to the clinic’s front door.
In Istanbul, local business owners often feed and care for the city’s stray dogs. Shop owners will set out water stations that strays can use at their leisure. In addition, the Mom dog had been to the clinic herself on a prior occasion for a health issue. Incredibly, she had remembered the location as a place where she could find help.
Eric, a technician working at that time, had noticed something on the camera’s feed and went to investigate. To his shock, a dog sat waiting outside their door with her young, male pup. Eric immediately grabbed the cold-as-ice puppy from its mother’s mouth. Then he and his colleague, Baturalp, worked frantically to revive the puppy.
“When I checked it, we noticed a very slow heartbeat,” Baturalp explained. “That’s why I said ‘It’s a hope, maybe he’ll live,’ and we started the fight.” The determined pair used an adrenaline (肾上腺素) shot and warmed the puppy with a hair dryer. As they eagerly worked on saving the pup’s life, Mom patiently stayed at their side. She continuously stared over the counter to get a look of her pup.
Thanks to the clinic staff, the puppy recovered and returned to health. Of a litter of six, he and one other puppy survived. “They are doing very well right now; they are in good health,” Baturalp confirmed of Mom and her two newborn pups. Mom and her puppies are currently up for adoption with the hope that all three are taken to the same forever home.
The Mom is a hero. The incredible lengths that she went through to find help for her puppy is an example of the greatness of mother. We also honor the unselfish and caring actions of the clinic staff.

Many teenagers spend their free time hanging out with friends or scrolling through social media, but Tiffany Gay, an 18-year-old student at Orlando Science Schools, spent hers developing a device that could potentially help millions of people.
“Growing up, I actually lived with my aunt who had a vision problem, and I watched as her eyesight declined over time. And seeing that made me realize that there was a lack of technologies out there that were able to help those with visual disabilities adapt to their circumstances,” said Gay.
Through years of trial and error, Tiffany developed a wearable device that uses LIDAR, a very common type of sensor, to map an area and then uses vibrations (振动) to warn the wearer when there are obstacles and other things in their path. As they get closer, the vibrations get stronger.
The technology on Tiffany’s visor appeals to more than just the sense of touch. She has the lights to indicate distance. As you get closer, you’ll see the light turn red. As you get moderately far away, you’ll see the light turn blue. And as you get really far away, it should turn green. And the different lights symbolize how intense the vibration may be.
Tiffany has been working on this project for the past three years. “A lot of crazy ideas, but in that time, I was able to create different models. I’ve been able to make it a lot more efficient over these past three years, and I’m also working on raising fund to get my patent.” said Gay.
Her invention now costs around $200, which is quite reasonable for medical assistance devices, but Tiffany wants to make it even more accessible to people. She said, “Decreasing the price is a significant change I want to make. But, what I really want is making it accessible to the countries where we have the highest percentage of people who are visually impaired.”
1.What inspired Tiffany Gay to invent the device?
A.Her aunt’s visual declining.
B.Her parents’ encouragement.
C.Her own interest in invention.
D.Her sympathy for elderly people.
2.What is the third paragraph mainly about?
A.The materials of the device.
B.The limitation of the device.
C.The working principle of the device.
D.The inventing process of the device.
3.Which of the following words can best describe Tiffany Gay?
A.Kind and creative. B.Curious and honest.
C.Brave and generous. D.Determined and loyal.
4.What can be a suitable title for the text?
A.The Application of LIDAR Sensors
B.A Student’s Dream of Starting a Business
C.Tiffany Gay: a Pioneer in Wearable Technology
D.A Teen’s Invention for People with Visual disabilities
Passage 2
(24-25高一下·吉林长春·期末)
The 60-foot-tall rocket took off in West Texas, sending a group of six people into space and giving them a few minutes of weightlessness before they landed by parachute (降落伞).
Most of the passengers paid a secret sum of money for their seats. But Katya Echazarreta, an engineer and science communicator, was selected by a nonprofit organization to join in this travel from a pool of thousands of applicants. The organization’s goal is to send great leaders into space and allow them to experience the overview effect, which was reported by astronauts who said that viewing the Earth from space gave them a great change in their view.
“Looking down, you see everyone is down there, all of our past, all of our difficulties, everything — everything is there,” Echazarreta said. “When I came back down, it just completely strengthened my wish to continue enabling people of different backgrounds to go into space and do whatever they want.”
Echazarreta is the first Mexican-born woman to travel into space. She moved to the United States with her family at the age of seven. She recalled that she felt uncertain in a new place where she didn’t speak the language and that a teacher warned her that she might have to repeat a grade. “It just really fueled me and after that, I just studied harder,” Echazarreta said. Later she became the main breadwinner in her family. Sometimes she had up to four jobs at the same time, just to try to successfully graduate from college.
She worked in NASA before and didn’t see other female engineers like her, which inspired her to popularize science among the public. These days, Echazarreta is studying for her master’s degree in engineering at Johns Hopkins University. She also has more than 330,000 fans on TikTok, and hosts a science-focused YouTube series.
1.Why was Echazarreta chosen to travel into space?
A.She was an expert in landing by parachute.
B.She was considered to be an excellent person.

2.What was in Echazarreta’s mind after she returned from space travel?
A.To help more people travel into space.
B.To encourage the public to learn science.
C.To share the beauty of space on social media.
D.To make women scientists known to the public.
3.Which of the following can replace the underlined word “fueled” in Paragraph 4?
A.Beat. B.Drove. C.Confused. D.Attracted.
4.What kind of person is probably Echazarreta?
A.Calm and confident.

Passage 1
(24-25高一下·黑龙江哈尔滨·期末)
My father had always been an alert observer of human character. Within seconds of meeting someone, he could sum up their strengths and weaknesses. It was always a challenge to see if any of my boyfriends could pass Dad’s test. None did. Dad was always right—they didn’t pass my test either. After Dad died, I wondered how I’d figure it out on my own.
That’s when Jack arrived on the scene. He was different from any other guy I’d dated. He could sit for hours on the piano bench with my mother, discussing some composers. My brother Rick loudly announced that Jack wasn’t a turkey like the other guys I’d brought home. Jack passed my family’s test. But what about Dad’s?
Then came my mother’s birthday. The day he was supposed to drive, I got a call. “Don’t worry.” he said, “but I’ve been in an accident. I’m fine, but I need you to pick me up.”
When I got there, we rushed to a flower shop for something for Mom. “How about gardenias?” Jack said, pointing at a beautiful white corsage (胸花). The florist put the corsage in a box.
The entire ride, Jack was unusually quiet “Are you all right?” I asked. “I’ve been doing a lot of thinking.” he said. “I might be moving.” Moving? Then he added, “Moving in with you.” I nearly put the car on the sidewalk. “What?” I asked. “I think we should get married,” he said. He told me he’d planned proposal in a fancy restaurant, but after the accident, he decided to do it right now. “Yes,” I whispered. We both sat dumbfounded, tears running down our cheeks. I’d never known such a tender moment. If only Dad were here to give his final approval.
“Oh, let’s just go inside.” Jack laughed. My mother opened the door. “Happy Birthday!” We shouted. Jack handed the box to her. She opened it up. Suddenly, her eyes were filled with tears. “Mom, what’s wrong?” I asked. “I’m sorry.” she said, wiping her eyes. “This is only the second gardenia corsage I’ve ever received. I was given one years ago, long before you kids were born.” “From who?” I asked. “Your father,” Mom said. “He gave me one right before we were engaged.” My eyes locked on Jack’s as I blinked away (眨掉) tears. Dad’s test? I knew Jack had passed.

In this fast-paced world, quiet moments are often spent staring at a phone screen. For those who have forgotten how to switch off and reconnect with ourselves, Deborah Alma may have just what the doctor ordered. She is the founder of The Poetry Pharmacy (药房), whose aim is to ease worry with words, allowing visitors to book poetry consultations for tailored advice or pick up a quick fix off the shelves. Last year, another Poetry Pharmacy opened its doors inside LUSH on London’s Oxford Street, seeking to bring a little calm to the capital.
Even before she had two successful “practices” under her belt, Deborah was keenly aware of the power of poetry. She noticed how it could bring people a positive change. This inspired her to become the “Emergency Poet” traveling the country in a vintage ambulance to offer poetry prescriptions (处方). The 1950s ambulance, which was bought on eBay, carried 200 poems, each with advice like “take this poem with a cup of tea” or “listen to some birdsong”.
After about a decade of mobile medicine, Deborah parked up her practice for a permanent location in Shropshire. This became the world’s first walk-in-poetry pharmacy, and-unlike the ambulance-it had central heating. From a cozy coffee corner to an inspiring physical garden, the Pharmacy is described as “a peaceful place to rest and dream”. “What happens in the shops is that people who look at pills are often buying things for others. It’s potentially a little theatre, but that act of giving and thinking about someone else is heartwarming.” The Pharmacy also provides a more personalized service. “We ask about people’s reading habits, how they relax, rather than their problems. It should be a pleasure to answer these questions,” Deborah says.
Despite never having done any online marketing, The Poetry Pharmacy has a dedicated following of creative souls, including Mark Constantine, CEO and co-founder of LUSH. We don’t know what the future holds for The Poetry Pharmacy and its founder, but one thing is certain-the next chapter is bound to be a good one!
1.How many poetry pharmacies has Deborah opened?
A.One. B.Two. C.Three. D.Four.
2.What can possibly happen in The Poetry Pharmacy?
A.Helping phone addict. B.Poetic healing.
C.Enjoying theatre performances. D.Discussing poetry writing.
3.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A.The shop has gained acceptance. B.The shop needs some marketing.
C.Deborah will open a new shop soon. D.Deborah has found some co-founders.
4.Which of the following best describes Deborah?
A.Innovative but shallow. B.Traditional but warm.
C.Sociable and adventurous. D.Creative and sympathetic.
Passage 3
(23-24高一下·辽宁·期末)
Growing up in a small village in Ghana, Osei Boateng watched many of his family members and neighbors struggle to access basic health care. In many regions of the country, it can take hours to get to the nearest hospital. “My grandmother was a very big part of my life,” said Boateng. “It was very hard when we lost her, and it was due to something that could have been easily prevented. That is the painful part of it.”
Feeling an urgent call to help, Boateng decided he would make it his life’s mission to bring health care to remote communities in Ghana. He started his nonprofit, OKB Hope Foundation, and in 2021, he transformed a van into a mobile doctor’s office called the Hope Health Van and started bringing health care directly to those in need. A few times a week, the mobile clinic and medical team travel long distances to remote communities in Ghana and provide routine medical care for free. On each trip, Boateng’s team consists of a nurse, a physician’s assistant, a doctor, and an operation assistant. In the van, they can run basic labs like bloodwork and urinalysis as well as prescribe and provide medications.
Since its launch, Boateng says the Hope Health Van has served more than 4,000 Ghanaians across more than 45 rural communities who otherwise don’t have easily accessible medical care.
Boateng has big plans for the future. He hopes to expand to provide more consistent and high-quality medical care not only to those living in remote areas of Ghana but in other countries as well. He has gone all in on his OKB Hope Foundation, recently quitting his job to dedicate his time to bringing health care to his home country. But for him, the sacrifices are well worth the reward.
1.Why is Boateng’s grandmother mentioned?
A.To call for fairness. B.To display his affection.

Passage 4
(24-25高一下·吉林长春·期末)
It all started on a stoop (门廊). I picked up a book and started reading to the neighborhood kids. When I finished reading, the kids didn’t want story time to stop. So I said, “You guys can read a book at home.” “We don’t have any books at home.” they responded. It was an unpleasant reminder that there are children who don’t have a single book at home.
As a public librarian, I quickly realized that the kids that I saw coming into the library weren’t the same ones I was reading to out on my front stoop. I learned about something called book deserts. A book desert is an area or a community with limited access to books and reading materials.
I was aware that I wasn’t going to meet my neighbors who need it most inside library’s walls. So I quit my job and took to the streets, becoming a street librarian who is doing work to increase literary access outside of traditional settings.
Book deserts are often found in economically disadvantaged areas, where bookstores and libraries are not enough. Lower-income neighbors may lack the resources to buy books from the bookstore or pay library fines. Residents may be working multiple jobs or facing hardships that make a trip to the library an additional stress. Requirement of identification, fines and fees, all while seemingly normal, can become difficult for families facing hardships.
Therefore, I’m making books appear in everyday places in extraordinary ways. I fix free public book vending machines (自助售书机), host street-corner story times, and pop up on the block with free bookstores, so kids who don’t have McDonald’s money don’t have to worry about having book-fair money. You’ll find me delivering books to your front stoop. I have delivered 5,000 books to children living in book deserts.
I believe everyone is a reader. They just haven’t found the right book yet. And that’s where librarians step in. We must meet them where they are and guide them along that journey.
1.What inspired the author to become a street librarian?
A.The kids’ lack of books at home.
B.The kids’ request for more stories.
C.Her love for reading books on stoops.
D.Her curiosity for seeking book deserts.
2.What is paragraph 4 mainly about?
A.The causes of book deserts.
B.The struggles of a street librarian.
C.The challenges of working more jobs.
D.The importance of traditional libraries.
3.How does the author help kids in book deserts?
A.By lowering book prices. B.By donating money to them.
C.By inviting them to schools. D.By providing free books.
4.What can we conclude from the text?
A.Street libraries will replace public ones.
B.Librarians should reach out to readers.
C.Libraries should maintain traditional rules.
D.Book deserts exist even in rich areas.

At the age of five, Toni was diagnosed (诊断) with a rare visual disease, which would eventually steal his sight. There was no known timeline or cure. His parents chose to keep it from him so that he would grow up believing he could overcome every challenge.
At primary school, Toni tried everything from athletics to academics, from building models to working as a rubbish collector. Particularly, he fell in love with running and ran himself into the top spot at his school’s mile-long running race.
When Toni got into middle school, school life was tough for him. Bad eyesight made him a laughing stock, so he discovered early how best to read the moods and behaviour of others. It was a matter of survival in the school yard.
Before graduating from college at age 23, driven by his love for medicine, he always developed coping strategies. Realizing reading text books was slow going, identifying chemicals in the lab was difficult and performing operations was impractical, he turned to psychiatry (精神病学), which was something he could manage with his eyes shut. Additionally, he traced hospital walls to locate wards (病房) and chatted with patients frequently so as to make them feel relaxed.
In the 1980s, fishing emerged as a great pleasure for him. Toni claims mastering a fly rod (飞钓竿) while blind has been no trouble either, and likes to tell people it’s the fish that do the work because they have to grab the hook (钩子).
Today, at age 80, Toni continues to travel four hours north to his favourite fishing ground. The former doctor always says, “Get out and do what you love. Life’s beauty lies not in sight but in embracing each challenge as proof that limitations exist only to be redefined by passion.”
1.Why didn’t Toni’s parents tell him the truth?
A.Because he had already lost his sight.
B.Because they hoped him to be confident.
C.Because the disease could be cured one day.

D.Life is full of ups and downs that we can’t change.
Passage 2
(24-25高一下·内蒙古·期末)
Olivia Hillier’s side hustle (副业) started with a $5 T-shirt she found at a thrift store (旧货店).
Medical student Hillier had some experience of selling a few of her own old clothing items on an app called Poshmark. She never thought much of it. But one day she noticed other Poshmark sellers were profiting from selling thrift store finds. Because of her student loans, Hillier began studying their strategies and using them to create her own side hustle. That first T-shirt sold for $20. Since then, Hillier’s side hustle has brought in more than $117,000, including $85,000 last year alone. It currently averages $6,000 to $7,000 of profit per month, helping her lately purchase a five-bedroom house.
Hillier’s side hustle began in August 2020, when she noticed that other Poshmark sellers were posting thousands of items that couldn’t have been from their own closets (衣柜). She learned that many were sourcing their items from thrift stores. She spent the next two months testing various sellers’ methods. Then she centered on one style — bright vintage (古典的) pieces — because those items are sold the most quickly.
Hillier’s side hustle didn’t really pay off, though, until she found a balance between selling clothes and medical school. On Fridays, she’d run from classes to thrift stores, spending those evenings sorting and cleaning clothes. On Sundays, she’d take snaps of her new stock (存货). On Mondays, in between hospital rotations (换班), she’d upload the new products onto her Poshmark closet.

Passage 3
(24-25高一下·辽宁·期末)
In 2023, Alex Mayer, a runner and college student, awoke confused and unable to move in a hospital bed. She suffered from short-term memory loss. Doctors diagnosed (诊断) her with a rare disease.
Alex’s disease confused her and her family. It seemed unbelievable that someone as young as her would be facing such unexpected physical and cognitive (认知的) challenges. She felt relieved to have a confirmed diagnosis, but she still had so many questions and few answers. She felt unprepared for how to follow her path to recovery.
Alex faced the challenge of relearning basic skills, and she had to accept her new reality that consisted of hours of physical therapy (治疗). Her old college life—filled with studying for exams, attending classes and social outings with friends—felt like a distant dream.
“The hardest part of my recovery was trying to accept that this had happened,” said Alex. “I was forever changed, and not everyone around me would be able to understand what that was like.”
Her recovery process was slow at first, but soon she felt alive within her. In order to regain some control of her healing journey, she set daily goals, like standing on one foot during her physical therapy sessions.
After several months of gradual progress, she started to run again. Once she regained her physical strength, she started to train even harder and set an ambitious goal to one day participate in the Boston Marathon. When her physical therapy sessions ended, she pushed herself to go out on daily runs.
Her perseverance paid off. She finished the Boston Marathon with her supportive friends and family cheering her on. When she crossed the finish line, she said she felt a great sense of gratitude. Her marathon medal represented just how far Alex had come physically and mentally.

Passage 4
(24-25高一下·辽宁·期末)
In 2018, marine biologist Sarah was studying the Great Barrier Reef when she found a sea turtle trapped in fishing nets. Its flippers were tangled, and its shell was covered in barnacles. Using a dive knife, she freed the turtle and named it Leo. Surprisingly, Leo didn’t swim away. It circled her, touched her hand, and stayed nearby. Over weeks, their relationship grew. Leo retuned regularly, allowing Sarah to clean its shell and responding to her underwater whistles. “If I blow a high trill,” she said, “Leo surfaces immediately. Sometimes it even brought seagrass as a ‘gift’—a playful gesture we hadn’t seen in any other turtle.”
Leo’s trust in humans wasn’t seen before. While others avoided people, Leo swam alongside Sarah during research. It even brought smaller turtles to her for cleaning, earning the nickname “Leo’s appointments.” One day, during a particularly challenging dive, the team struggled to find healthy reef sites. Leo guided them through a coral to a hidden area full of colorful fish and rare species. The team was amazed to see blue parrotfish, neon-yellow clownfish, and branching corals in natural condition. “Leo led us to treasure,” Sarah said. “This area had escaped bleaching and pollution, offering exact data for conservation efforts.”
Their relationship challenged scientific assumptions. “Leo isn’t just a subject,” Sarah wrote. “It’s a partner.” During a migration study, Leo swam by her side for an hour, eyes expressing curiosity. It occasionally poked its head out of the water to watch her on the boat. The team now studies Leo’s behavior, believing its presence attracts other marine life. For example, schools of angelfish often followed Leo, creating unique opportunities for observation. “Leo is a symbol of hope,” Sarah says. “In a threatened ocean, trust can grow. Maybe one day, we’ll see more animals like Leo bridging the gap between humans and nature.”
1.Why did Leo approach Sarah initially after being freed?
A.To express gratitude. B.To seek further help.
C.To warn her of danger. D.To take control.
2.What makes Leo’s behavior unusual?
A.Its ability to recognize sounds. B.Its large size in the reef.
C.Its habit of eating algae D.Its fear of human presence
3.What can we infer from the story?
A.Sarah invented the underwater whistle.
B.Leo led the team to a new research area.
C.Fishing nets are the main threat to sea turtles.
D.Sarah has freed many sea turtles from nets.
4.Which is the most suitable title?
A.The Great Barrier Reef: A Hidden Treasure
B.The Life of a Marine Biologist
C.The Danger of Fishing Nets in Oceans
D.An Unlikely Friendship with a Sea Turtle

Passage 1
(24-25高一下·吉林延吉·期末)
As a six-year-old Canadian schoolboy, Ryan had trouble believing the words spoken by his teacher that many people in developing African countries couldn’t get enough clean water. He looked across the classroom at the drinking fountain. It was very close — only ten steps away. So, Ryan asked himself, “Why do some African children have to walk ten kilometres to get water every day? And why is the water so dirty that it makes them sick?” Young Ryan thought, “Life is easy for me; but hard for those people. Why don’t I help?”
At first, his plan was to earn money to build a single well somewhere in Africa. He cleaned windows and did gardening for his family and neighbours. He soon reached his first target of $70, but when he gave the money to a charity, he was told that it actually cost$2,000 to build a well. Two thousand dollars was a lot of money, but Ryan didn’t give up. He was determined to help other children have clean water. He started to ask for help from his classmates and neighbours and persuaded them to donate money. At the same time, a friend of Ryan’s mother helped make his story go public. After several months, Ryan had raised the $2,000, with which a well was built near a primary school in Uganda. The children at the school no longer needed to walk for hours to get water. They were grateful to him and invited him to visit.
In Uganda, Ryan at last saw the finished well with his own eyes. But that was not all. He also saw hundreds of delighted students who had turned out to welcome him. They sang and danced happily. Some even offered him food and gifts. At first Ryan was nervous, but soon a great warmth filled him. He really had made a difference for these children. He broke into a joyful smile.
Later, Ryan’s experience led him to set up a foundation to encourage more people to help. Many inspired people gave him their support. Ryan’s foundation continues to attract support from more and more people, so the work of building more wells can go on. Today, over 800,000 people in 16 countries across Africa have benefited from the life-changing gift of clean, safe water.
Now, as an adult, Ryan says that the question to ask is not “Why don’t I help?”, but “How can I help today?” This insight grew from the determined attitude of a six-year-old boy who had the courage and perseverance to make his dream a reality.
1.As a six-year-old, what made Ryan surprised?
A.The distance of the drinking fountain from him.
B.What his teacher said about people in developing African countries.

D.His easy life compared with children in developing African counties.
2.How did Ryan first plan to earn money for building a well?
A.By asking classmates and neighbours for help.
B.By setting up a foundation to raise money.
C.By cleaning windows and doing gardening for family and neighbours.
D.By telling his story publicly.
3.What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about?

Passage 2
(24-25高一下·内蒙古·期末)
At dawn one April day, the top of the Huangshan Mountain was a world floating in a sea of clouds and pine trees as French photographer Nicolas Cornet quickly took photos of the breathtaking scene. This was Cornet’s eighth time at Huangshan Mountain in Anhui Province.
The Frenchman’s fascination with Huangshan Mountain began about a decade ago when he came across photos of the mountain by a Canadian photographer. He was immediately drawn by the mountain’s “mysterious landscape” and started planning his own trip there. In 2016, Cornet made his first visit to Huangshan Mountain. The moment he set eyes on the unusual pine trees (松树) and rock formations, and endless sea of clouds, he was fascinated.
That first encounter drew him back to Huangshan Mountain seven more times over the following nine years. For Cornet, the mountain never lost its charm as each season and each change in weather revealed a fresh landscape.
Cornet’s visits eventually paid off with a black-and-white photo series about the mountain posted on his photography website. In February this year, Cornet’s photographs were exhibited at the Xposure International Photography Festival in the United Arab Emirates. He says that while many visitors had never heard of the mountain before, some began planning trips after seeing his photos.
The photographer says Huangshan Mountain has offered him far more than amazing images; it has opened a window to Chinese hospitality (好客). He says that as Huangshan Mountain continues to gain international recognition, services have been improving to accommodate the growing number of overseas visitors. He also praises China’s visa-free entry policy (政策), which made his two most recent trips to Huangshan Mountain much easier.
He has already planned his next trip to Huangshan Mountain. With a new cable way set to open, he says he looks forward to exploring and photographing parts of the mountain that were previously less accessible. “It will open up new creative opportunities for me.”
1.What attracted Cornet’s first visit to Huangshan Mountain?
A.His accidental view of the mountain’s picture.
B.His wish to meet with a Canadian photographer.
C.His curiosity about the growth of pine trees there.
D.His plan to join in a global photography festival.
2.Why did Cornet go back to Huangshan Mountain several times?
A.To experience Chinese hospitality.
B.To promote Huangshan Mountain.
C.To shoot its beauty under various conditions.
D.To study the growth of pine trees in the area.
3.What was the impact of Cornet’s photos exhibited at the international festival?
A.They brought about the visa-free entry policy.
B.They ended Cornet’s journey of photographing.
C.They uncovered the challenges of photographing.
D.They made Huangshan Mountain globally popular.
4.Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A.A French’s Journey to Understanding of Chinese Culture
B.A Photographer’s Connection with Huangshan Mountain
C.A French’s Way to Honor His Trip to Huangshan Mountain
D.A Photographer Popularized Huangshan Mountain Tourism
【答案】1.A 2.C 3.D 4.D
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了法国摄影师Nicolas Cornet与黄山的不解之缘,及其多次探访黄山并拍摄照片的经历。
1.细节理解题。根据第二段中“The Frenchman’s fascination with Huangshan Mountain began about a decade ago when he came across photos of the mountain by a Canadian photographer.(这位法国人对黄山的迷恋始于大约十年前,当时他偶然看到了一位加拿大摄影师拍摄的黄山照片。)”可知, Cornet偶然看到黄山的一张照片吸引了他第一次去黄山。故选A。
2.细节理解题。根据第三段中“That first encounter drew him back to Huangshan Mountain seven more times over the following nine years. For Cornet, the mountain never lost its charm as each season and each change in weather revealed a fresh landscape.(在接下来的九年里,第一次与黄山的相遇又吸引他七次重返黄山。对科内来说,随着每个季节和天气的变化,这座山都会展现出新的风景,它从未失去过魅力。)”可知, Cornet多次回到黄山是为了在不同的条件下拍摄它的美丽。故选C。
3.细节理解题。根据第四段中“He says that while many visitors had never heard of the mountain before, some began planning trips after seeing his photos.(他说,虽然许多游客以前从未听说过这座山,但一些人在看到他的照片后开始计划旅行。)”可知, Cornet的照片在国际节上展出的影响是让黄山在全球范围内流行起来。故选D。
4.主旨大意题。通读全文,根据第一段中“At dawn one April day, the top of the Huangshan Mountain was a world floating in a sea of clouds and pine trees as French photographer Nicolas Cornet quickly took photos of the breathtaking scene. This was Cornet’s eighth time at Huangshan Mountain in Anhui Province.(四月的一天黎明时分,黄山山顶是一个漂浮在云海和松树之间的世界,法国摄影师尼古拉斯·科内迅速拍下了这令人惊叹的一幕。这是科内第八次来到安徽黄山。)”和倒数第二段“The photographer says Huangshan Mountain has offered him far more than amazing images; it has opened a window to Chinese hospitality (好客). He says that as Huangshan Mountain continues to gain international recognition, services have been improving to accommodate the growing number of overseas visitors. He also praises China’s visa-free entry policy (政策), which made his two most recent trips to Huangshan Mountain much easier.(这位摄影师表示,黄山给予他的远不止是令人惊叹的画面,它还为他打开了一扇了解中国好客之道的窗口。他说,随着黄山在国际上声誉日隆,各项服务也在不断提升,以更好地接待日益增多的海外游客。他还称赞了中国的免签入境政策,这一政策让他最近两次的黄山之行变得更加便捷。)”可知,文章主要讲述了法国摄影师Cornet因偶然看到黄山照片而被吸引,多次前往黄山拍摄,其作品在国际上展出,让更多人了解黄山,以及他与黄山之间的故事。可知,D选项“A Photographer Popularized Huangshan Mountain Tourism (一位摄影师推广了黄山旅游)”最符合文章标题。故选D。
Passage 3
(24-25高一下·内蒙古赤峰·期末)
In 2003, Amy Connor gave birth to twin boys ten weeks before her due date. After the birth,her sons were both struggling. “William’s heart kept stopping. James was on oxygen and his retina(视网膜) separated and he was going to be blind,” Connor recalled.
Doctors told the family that James needed a blood transfusion(输血). But there was a problem — babies born prematurely(过早地) can only be transfused with blood that meets much stricter requirements than blood used for adults. However, the hospital didn’t have any qualified blood for James. “The transfusion was absolutely necessary. Without it, he might die,” Connor.said.
“Quickly, the hospital put out a call to its donation organizations and told us that we were also able to put out a call. Anyone could come and donate if they wanted to.” This was over 20years ago, before social media existed. So, Connor and her family took the old-fashioned approach: email. “We emailed all of our friends and family, and they sent them out to all of their friends and family. Then we just waited, unsure if anyone would respond or if any of them would be a match,” Connor remembered.
The wait turned out to be worth it. Nearly 30 people showed up to the hospital to donate blood for James. Among those, only one was a match. “When I heard the news, it wasn’t even just a sigh of relief. It’s like you release all of this breath that you didn’t even know you were holding.” James got the blood he needed to survive.
Due to privacy laws, Connor and her family will never know who donated the blood. “If I could meet them,I would tell them: that one little act that took them probably only half an hour changed so many people’s lives,” Connor said tearfully.
1.Why did the hospital put out a call to its donation organizations?
A.James had a rare blood type.
B.The hospital lacked blood supply.
C.The transfusion was time-critical.
D.Hospital blood didn’t meet standards.
2.What can be inferred in paragraph 3?
A.Email had just become a popular way to seek help.
B.Donation organizations rarely responded to urgent calls.
C.Finding a match was much harder without social networks.
D.Social media was the primary method for appealing donors.
3.What does the underlined sentence mean?
A.Waiting made Connor exhausted.
B.The match news relieved Connor.
C.Connor held her breath during the transfusion.
D.The long wait made Connor forget to breathe.
4.What is the main purpose of the passage?
A.To share a hopeful story.
B.To praise medical workers.
C.To describe medical challenge.
D.To highlight blood donation need.
【答案】1.D 2.C 3.B 4.A
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了Amy Connor的早产双胞胎儿子James因急需特殊输血而面临生命危险,医院和家庭通过传统电子邮件方式寻求献血帮助,最终在近30名献血者中找到匹配者并成功救治的故事。文章通过这个真实案例,展现了社会互助的力量和献血行为的重要意义。
1.细节理解题。根据第二段“Doctors told the family that James needed a blood transfusion. But there was a problem — babies born prematurely can only be transfused with blood that meets much stricter requirements than blood used for adults. However, the hospital didn’t have any qualified blood for James.(医生告诉家人James需要输血。但问题是——早产儿只能接受比成人血液要求严格得多的血液。然而,医院没有符合标准的血液)”可知,医院发布求助信息的原因是早产儿输血标准更严格,而医院现有的血液不符合要求。故选D项。
2.推理判断题。根据第三段“This was over 20years ago, before social media existed. So, Connor and her family took the old-fashioned approach: email. “We emailed all of our friends and family, and they sent them out to all of their friends and family. Then we just waited, unsure if anyone would respond or if any of them would be a match,” Connor remembered.(这是20多年前的事,当时社交媒体还未出现。因此,Connor和家人采用了传统方式:电子邮件。“我们给所有的朋友和家人发了邮件,他们也把这些邮件发给了他们所有的朋友和家人。然后我们就等着,不确定是否有人会回应,或者是否有人和我们匹配,”Connor回忆道。)”可推断,在没有社交网络的情况下,找到合适的血液要困难得多。故选C项。
3.词句猜测题。根据上文“Among those, only one was a match. “When I heard the news, it wasn’t even just a sigh of relief.”(其中只有一个是匹配的。“当我听到这个消息时,我不仅仅是松了一口气”)”可知,Connor找到了匹配的血液;划线句“It’s like you release all of this breath that you didn’t even know you were holding.(就像你释放了所有的呼吸,而你甚至都没有意识到自己在屏住呼吸)”是比喻说法,描述Connor在得知匹配成功后的极度放松。故选B项。
4.推理判断题。根据全文内容讲述早产儿James因输血获救的故事,强调陌生人捐赠的善举改变了一家人的生活;尤其结尾提到““If I could meet them,I would tell them: that one little act that took them probably only half an hour changed so many people’s lives,” Connor said tearfully.(“如果我能见到他们,我会告诉他们:一个可能只花了他们半个小时的小举动改变了这么多人的生活”Connor泪汪汪地说。)”可知,一个小小的举动改变了众多人的人生,传递了希望,所以本文的目的是分享一个充满希望的故事。故选A项。
Passage 4
(24-25高一下·辽宁·期末)
Stray (流浪) Dog Brings Sick Newborn Puppy to Vet
The clinic’s security camera caught the action as the mother dog held her newborn pup in her mouth and walked through pouring rain to the clinic’s front door.
In Istanbul, local business owners often feed and care for the city’s stray dogs. Shop owners will set out water stations that strays can use at their leisure. In addition, the Mom dog had been to the clinic herself on a prior occasion for a health issue. Incredibly, she had remembered the location as a place where she could find help.
Eric, a technician working at that time, had noticed something on the camera’s feed and went to investigate. To his shock, a dog sat waiting outside their door with her young, male pup. Eric immediately grabbed the cold-as-ice puppy from its mother’s mouth. Then he and his colleague, Baturalp, worked frantically to revive the puppy.
“When I checked it, we noticed a very slow heartbeat,” Baturalp explained. “That’s why I said ‘It’s a hope, maybe he’ll live,’ and we started the fight.” The determined pair used an adrenaline (肾上腺素) shot and warmed the puppy with a hair dryer. As they eagerly worked on saving the pup’s life, Mom patiently stayed at their side. She continuously stared over the counter to get a look of her pup.
Thanks to the clinic staff, the puppy recovered and returned to health. Of a litter of six, he and one other puppy survived. “They are doing very well right now; they are in good health,” Baturalp confirmed of Mom and her two newborn pups. Mom and her puppies are currently up for adoption with the hope that all three are taken to the same forever home.
The Mom is a hero. The incredible lengths that she went through to find help for her puppy is an example of the greatness of mother. We also honor the unselfish and caring actions of the clinic staff.
1.What can we infer about the people in Istanbul from paragraph 2?
A.They are kind to animals. B.They are fond of adopting dogs.
C.They watch strays with cameras. D.They offer shelters to strays.
2.What is the probable meaning of the underlined word “frantically” in paragraph 3?
A.Proudly. B.Busily. C.Unwillingly. D.Nervously.
3.What will probably happen to the Mom dog and her pups later?
A.They will stay with the clinic staff. B.They will go to separate shelters.

4.What theme does this text mainly highlight?

【答案】1.A 2.B 3.C 4.D
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。讲述了一只狗妈妈把生病的小狗带到宠物诊所求救并成功的故事。
1.推理判断题。根据第二段中“In Istanbul, local business owners often feed and care for the city’s stray dogs. Shop owners will set out water stations that strays can use at their leisure. (在伊斯坦布尔,当地的商家通常会照顾并喂养这座城市里的流浪狗。店主们会设置一些饮水站,让流浪狗可以在自己的时间里自由取用水。)”可知,伊斯坦布尔的人们对待流浪动物还是很友善的。故选A项。
2.词句猜测题。根据第四段中“When I checked it, we noticed a very slow heartbeat (当我检查时,我们发现他的心跳非常缓慢)”可知,当时这只小狗处境危险,所以Eric和他的同事采取行动,忙于救治小狗。故划线词意思是“忙于”。故选B项。
3.细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“Mom and her puppies are currently up for adoption with the hope that all three are taken to the same forever home. (妈妈和她的三只小狗目前正等待被领养,人们希望这三只小狗都能被送到同一个永久的家。)”可知,这只狗妈妈和她的小狗将被一个主人收养,她们将一直生活在一起。故选C项。

Passage 1
(24-25高一下·辽宁丹东·期末)
Many teenagers spend their free time hanging out with friends or scrolling through social media, but Tiffany Gay, an 18-year-old student at Orlando Science Schools, spent hers developing a device that could potentially help millions of people.
“Growing up, I actually lived with my aunt who had a vision problem, and I watched as her eyesight declined over time. And seeing that made me realize that there was a lack of technologies out there that were able to help those with visual disabilities adapt to their circumstances,” said Gay.
Through years of trial and error, Tiffany developed a wearable device that uses LIDAR, a very common type of sensor, to map an area and then uses vibrations (振动) to warn the wearer when there are obstacles and other things in their path. As they get closer, the vibrations get stronger.
The technology on Tiffany’s visor appeals to more than just the sense of touch. She has the lights to indicate distance. As you get closer, you’ll see the light turn red. As you get moderately far away, you’ll see the light turn blue. And as you get really far away, it should turn green. And the different lights symbolize how intense the vibration may be.
Tiffany has been working on this project for the past three years. “A lot of crazy ideas, but in that time, I was able to create different models. I’ve been able to make it a lot more efficient over these past three years, and I’m also working on raising fund to get my patent.” said Gay.
Her invention now costs around $200, which is quite reasonable for medical assistance devices, but Tiffany wants to make it even more accessible to people. She said, “Decreasing the price is a significant change I want to make. But, what I really want is making it accessible to the countries where we have the highest percentage of people who are visually impaired.”
1.What inspired Tiffany Gay to invent the device?
A.Her aunt’s visual declining.
B.Her parents’ encouragement.
C.Her own interest in invention.
D.Her sympathy for elderly people.
2.What is the third paragraph mainly about?
A.The materials of the device.
B.The limitation of the device.
C.The working principle of the device.

Passage 2
(24-25高一下·吉林长春·期末)
The 60-foot-tall rocket took off in West Texas, sending a group of six people into space and giving them a few minutes of weightlessness before they landed by parachute (降落伞).
Most of the passengers paid a secret sum of money for their seats. But Katya Echazarreta, an engineer and science communicator, was selected by a nonprofit organization to join in this travel from a pool of thousands of applicants. The organization’s goal is to send great leaders into space and allow them to experience the overview effect, which was reported by astronauts who said that viewing the Earth from space gave them a great change in their view.
“Looking down, you see everyone is down there, all of our past, all of our difficulties, everything — everything is there,” Echazarreta said. “When I came back down, it just completely strengthened my wish to continue enabling people of different backgrounds to go into space and do whatever they want.”
Echazarreta is the first Mexican-born woman to travel into space. She moved to the United States with her family at the age of seven. She recalled that she felt uncertain in a new place where she didn’t speak the language and that a teacher warned her that she might have to repeat a grade. “It just really fueled me and after that, I just studied harder,” Echazarreta said. Later she became the main breadwinner in her family. Sometimes she had up to four jobs at the same time, just to try to successfully graduate from college.
She worked in NASA before and didn’t see other female engineers like her, which inspired her to popularize science among the public. These days, Echazarreta is studying for her master’s degree in engineering at Johns Hopkins University. She also has more than 330,000 fans on TikTok, and hosts a science-focused YouTube series.
1.Why was Echazarreta chosen to travel into space?
A.She was an expert in landing by parachute.
B.She was considered to be an excellent person.
C.She supported the project with a big sum of money.
D.She made great efforts to set up a nonprofit organization.
2.What was in Echazarreta’s mind after she returned from space travel?
A.To help more people travel into space.
B.To encourage the public to learn science.
C.To share the beauty of space on social media.
D.To make women scientists known to the public.
3.Which of the following can replace the underlined word “fueled” in Paragraph 4?
A.Beat. B.Drove. C.Confused. D.Attracted.
4.What kind of person is probably Echazarreta?
A.Calm and confident.
B.Talented and creative.
C.Humorous and outgoing.
D.Inspiring and hardworking.
【答案】1.B 2.A 3.B 4.D

These days, Echazarreta is studying for her master’s degree in engineering at Johns Hopkins University. She also has more than 330,000 fans on TikTok, and hosts a science-focused YouTube series.(她曾在NASA工作,没有看到像她这样的其他女性工程师,这激发了她在公众中普及科学的热情。如今,埃查扎雷塔正在约翰霍普金斯大学攻读工程学硕士学位。她在TikTok上还有超过33万粉丝,并主持了一个以科学为主题的YouTube系列节目。)”可知,Echazarreta是一个鼓舞人心且勤奋的人。故选D。

Passage 1
(24-25高一下·黑龙江哈尔滨·期末)
My father had always been an alert observer of human character. Within seconds of meeting someone, he could sum up their strengths and weaknesses. It was always a challenge to see if any of my boyfriends could pass Dad’s test. None did. Dad was always right—they didn’t pass my test either. After Dad died, I wondered how I’d figure it out on my own.
That’s when Jack arrived on the scene. He was different from any other guy I’d dated. He could sit for hours on the piano bench with my mother, discussing some composers. My brother Rick loudly announced that Jack wasn’t a turkey like the other guys I’d brought home. Jack passed my family’s test. But what about Dad’s?
Then came my mother’s birthday. The day he was supposed to drive, I got a call. “Don’t worry.” he said, “but I’ve been in an accident. I’m fine, but I need you to pick me up.”
When I got there, we rushed to a flower shop for something for Mom. “How about gardenias?” Jack said, pointing at a beautiful white corsage (胸花). The florist put the corsage in a box.
The entire ride, Jack was unusually quiet “Are you all right?” I asked. “I’ve been doing a lot of thinking.” he said. “I might be moving.” Moving? Then he added, “Moving in with you.” I nearly put the car on the sidewalk. “What?” I asked. “I think we should get married,” he said. He told me he’d planned proposal in a fancy restaurant, but after the accident, he decided to do it right now. “Yes,” I whispered. We both sat dumbfounded, tears running down our cheeks. I’d never known such a tender moment. If only Dad were here to give his final approval.
“Oh, let’s just go inside.” Jack laughed. My mother opened the door. “Happy Birthday!” We shouted. Jack handed the box to her. She opened it up. Suddenly, her eyes were filled with tears. “Mom, what’s wrong?” I asked. “I’m sorry.” she said, wiping her eyes. “This is only the second gardenia corsage I’ve ever received. I was given one years ago, long before you kids were born.” “From who?” I asked. “Your father,” Mom said. “He gave me one right before we were engaged.” My eyes locked on Jack’s as I blinked away (眨掉) tears. Dad’s test? I knew Jack had passed.
1.According to the test, we know the writer’s father was ________.
A.interested in observing things around B.good at judging one’s character
C.strict with her boyfriend D.fond of challenges
2.What is the main idea of Paragraph 2?
A.Jack got the family’s approval except Dad’s. B.Jack was different from any other boy.
C.Jack was getting on well with Mother. D.Jack knew a lot about piano.
3.On hearing “moving in with you”, the writer felt ________.
A.pleased B.worried C.surprised D.disappointed
4.Why did the writer’s mother cry?
A.The gift was the same as the one her husband gave her.
B.She had never received such a beautiful gift.
C.Her daughter found her life partner at last.
D.The gardenia corsage was too expensive.
【答案】1.B 2.A 3.C 4.A
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者的男友杰克用自己的真诚通过了作者家人的考验,也得到了作者认可的故事。
1.细节理解题。根据第一段“My father had always been an alert observer of human character. Within seconds of meeting someone, he could sum up their strengths and weaknesses.(我父亲一直是一个对人性的敏锐观察者。在与某人会面的几秒钟内,他就可以总结出他们的优缺点。)”可知,作者的父亲善于判断一个人的品质。故选B项。
2.主旨大意题。通读第二段内容,结合第二段关键句“Jack passed my family’s test. But what about Dad’s?(杰克通过了我家人的考查。但是爸爸的呢?)”可知,第二段主要讲述杰克得到了除了爸爸以外的其他家人的认可。故选A项。
3.推理判断题。根据第五段“I nearly put the car on the sidewalk. “What?” I asked.(我差点把车停在人行道上。“什么?”我问。)”可知,听到杰克的话,我差点把车停在人行道上,并惊讶地问他在说什么,由此可知,当听到“和你一起住”时,作者感到惊讶。故选C项。
4.推理判断题。根据最后一段关键句““This is only the second gardenia corsage I’ve ever received. I was given one years ago, long before you kids were born.” “From who?” I asked. “Your father,” Mom said. “He gave me one right before we were engaged.”(“这只是我收到的第二件栀子胸花。很多年前,在你们这些孩子出生之前,我就收到过一个。”“谁送的?”我问。“你爸爸,”妈妈说。“在我们订婚之前,他送给我一个。”)”可知,杰克送给妈妈一个栀子胸花,而爸爸在很多年前也曾送给妈妈一个,因为爸爸去世了,此时妈妈睹物思人,所以她落泪了。由此可知,作者的妈妈哭是因为杰克的礼物和她丈夫曾给她的一样。故选A项。
Passage 2
(24-25高一下·吉林长春·期末)
In this fast-paced world, quiet moments are often spent staring at a phone screen. For those who have forgotten how to switch off and reconnect with ourselves, Deborah Alma may have just what the doctor ordered. She is the founder of The Poetry Pharmacy (药房), whose aim is to ease worry with words, allowing visitors to book poetry consultations for tailored advice or pick up a quick fix off the shelves. Last year, another Poetry Pharmacy opened its doors inside LUSH on London’s Oxford Street, seeking to bring a little calm to the capital.
Even before she had two successful “practices” under her belt, Deborah was keenly aware of the power of poetry. She noticed how it could bring people a positive change. This inspired her to become the “Emergency Poet” traveling the country in a vintage ambulance to offer poetry prescriptions (处方). The 1950s ambulance, which was bought on eBay, carried 200 poems, each with advice like “take this poem with a cup of tea” or “listen to some birdsong”.
After about a decade of mobile medicine, Deborah parked up her practice for a permanent location in Shropshire. This became the world’s first walk-in-poetry pharmacy, and-unlike the ambulance-it had central heating. From a cozy coffee corner to an inspiring physical garden, the Pharmacy is described as “a peaceful place to rest and dream”. “What happens in the shops is that people who look at pills are often buying things for others. It’s potentially a little theatre, but that act of giving and thinking about someone else is heartwarming.” The Pharmacy also provides a more personalized service. “We ask about people’s reading habits, how they relax, rather than their problems. It should be a pleasure to answer these questions,” Deborah says.
Despite never having done any online marketing, The Poetry Pharmacy has a dedicated following of creative souls, including Mark Constantine, CEO and co-founder of LUSH. We don’t know what the future holds for The Poetry Pharmacy and its founder, but one thing is certain-the next chapter is bound to be a good one!
1.How many poetry pharmacies has Deborah opened?
A.One. B.Two. C.Three. D.Four.
2.What can possibly happen in The Poetry Pharmacy?
A.Helping phone addict. B.Poetic healing.
C.Enjoying theatre performances. D.Discussing poetry writing.
3.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A.The shop has gained acceptance. B.The shop needs some marketing.
C.Deborah will open a new shop soon. D.Deborah has found some co-founders.
4.Which of the following best describes Deborah?
A.Innovative but shallow. B.Traditional but warm.
C.Sociable and adventurous. D.Creative and sympathetic.
【答案】1.B 2.B 3.A 4.D

She noticed how it could bring people a positive change.(甚至在她有两次成功的“实践”之前,黛博拉就敏锐地意识到诗歌的力量。她注意到它如何给人们带来积极的变化)”可知,她关注人们的内心,想帮助人们缓解忧虑,这体现了她的同情心。故选D。
Passage 3
(23-24高一下·辽宁·期末)
Growing up in a small village in Ghana, Osei Boateng watched many of his family members and neighbors struggle to access basic health care. In many regions of the country, it can take hours to get to the nearest hospital. “My grandmother was a very big part of my life,” said Boateng. “It was very hard when we lost her, and it was due to something that could have been easily prevented. That is the painful part of it.”
Feeling an urgent call to help, Boateng decided he would make it his life’s mission to bring health care to remote communities in Ghana. He started his nonprofit, OKB Hope Foundation, and in 2021, he transformed a van into a mobile doctor’s office called the Hope Health Van and started bringing health care directly to those in need. A few times a week, the mobile clinic and medical team travel long distances to remote communities in Ghana and provide routine medical care for free. On each trip, Boateng’s team consists of a nurse, a physician’s assistant, a doctor, and an operation assistant. In the van, they can run basic labs like bloodwork and urinalysis as well as prescribe and provide medications.
Since its launch, Boateng says the Hope Health Van has served more than 4,000 Ghanaians across more than 45 rural communities who otherwise don’t have easily accessible medical care.
Boateng has big plans for the future. He hopes to expand to provide more consistent and high-quality medical care not only to those living in remote areas of Ghana but in other countries as well. He has gone all in on his OKB Hope Foundation, recently quitting his job to dedicate his time to bringing health care to his home country. But for him, the sacrifices are well worth the reward.
1.Why is Boateng’s grandmother mentioned?
A.To call for fairness. B.To display his affection.
C.To criticize the government. D.To stress the poor health care.
2.What is unavailable to patients in the van?
A.Mental treatment. B.Minor operations.
C.Prescribed medicine. D.Regular medical examinations.
3.Which words can best describe Boateng?
A.Caring and tolerant. B.Selfless and risky.
C.Devoted and ambitious. D.Cautious and reserved.
4.What’s the best title for this passage?
A.Hopeless health care in Ghana. B.Doctor’s office on wheels.
C.Improvement of medical schools. D.Rise of nonprofit organizations in Ghana.

That is the painful part of it.”(在该国的许多地区,可能需要数小时才能到达最近的医院。“我的祖母是我生命中非常重要的一部分,”Boateng说。“当我们失去她时,我们非常痛苦,而这是本可以轻易预防的事情。这是最痛苦的部分。”)”可知,提到Boateng的祖母是为了强调加纳的医疗条件差。故选D。
2.细节理解题。根据第二段中“On each trip, Boateng’s team consists of a nurse, a physician’s assistant, a doctor, and an operation assistant. In the van, they can run basic labs like bloodwork and urinalysis as well as prescribe and provide medications.(每次出行,Boateng的团队由一名护士、一名医生助理、一名医生和一名手术助理组成。在面包车里,他们可以进行血液和尿液分析等基本实验室检查,也可以开药和提供药物)”可知,面包车里没有精神治疗。故选A。
3.推理判断题。根据第二段中“Feeling an urgent call to help, Boateng decided he would make it his life’s mission to bring health care to remote communities in Ghana.

Passage 4
(24-25高一下·吉林长春·期末)
It all started on a stoop (门廊). I picked up a book and started reading to the neighborhood kids. When I finished reading, the kids didn’t want story time to stop. So I said, “You guys can read a book at home.” “We don’t have any books at home.” they responded. It was an unpleasant reminder that there are children who don’t have a single book at home.
As a public librarian, I quickly realized that the kids that I saw coming into the library weren’t the same ones I was reading to out on my front stoop. I learned about something called book deserts. A book desert is an area or a community with limited access to books and reading materials.
I was aware that I wasn’t going to meet my neighbors who need it most inside library’s walls. So I quit my job and took to the streets, becoming a street librarian who is doing work to increase literary access outside of traditional settings.
Book deserts are often found in economically disadvantaged areas, where bookstores and libraries are not enough. Lower-income neighbors may lack the resources to buy books from the bookstore or pay library fines. Residents may be working multiple jobs or facing hardships that make a trip to the library an additional stress. Requirement of identification, fines and fees, all while seemingly normal, can become difficult for families facing hardships.
Therefore, I’m making books appear in everyday places in extraordinary ways. I fix free public book vending machines (自助售书机), host street-corner story times, and pop up on the block with free bookstores, so kids who don’t have McDonald’s money don’t have to worry about having book-fair money. You’ll find me delivering books to your front stoop. I have delivered 5,000 books to children living in book deserts.
I believe everyone is a reader. They just haven’t found the right book yet. And that’s where librarians step in. We must meet them where they are and guide them along that journey.
1.What inspired the author to become a street librarian?
A.The kids’ lack of books at home.
B.The kids’ request for more stories.
C.Her love for reading books on stoops.
D.Her curiosity for seeking book deserts.
2.What is paragraph 4 mainly about?
A.The causes of book deserts.
B.The struggles of a street librarian.
C.The challenges of working more jobs.
D.The importance of traditional libraries.
3.How does the author help kids in book deserts?
A.By lowering book prices. B.By donating money to them.
C.By inviting them to schools. D.By providing free books.
4.What can we conclude from the text?
A.Street libraries will replace public ones.
B.Librarians should reach out to readers.
C.Libraries should maintain traditional rules.
D.Book deserts exist even in rich areas.
【答案】1.A 2.A 3.D 4.B

1.推理判断题。根据第一段中““We don’t have any books at home.” they responded. It was an unpleasant reminder that there are children who don’t have a single book at home. (“我们家里没有任何书。”他们回答道。这让人很不舒服地想起,有些孩子家里一本书都没有)”以及第三段中“So I quit my job and took to the streets, becoming a street librarian who is doing work to increase literary access outside of traditional settings. (所以我辞去了工作,走上街头,成为一名街头图书馆员,致力于在传统环境之外增加文学接触机会)”可知,作者成为街头图书馆员的灵感来自于孩子们家里没有书这一事实。故选A。
2.主旨大意题。根据第四段“Book deserts are often found in economically disadvantaged areas, where bookstores and libraries are not enough. Lower-income neighbors may lack the resources to buy books from the bookstore or pay library fines. Residents may be working multiple jobs or facing hardships that make a trip to the library an additional stress. Requirement of identification, fines and fees, all while seemingly normal, can become difficult for families facing hardships. (书籍荒漠通常出现在经济不发达地区,那里的书店和图书馆数量不足。低收入的邻居可能缺乏从书店买书或支付图书馆罚款的资源。居民可能同时打几份工,或面临困难,这使得去图书馆成为一种额外的压力。身份证明、罚款和费用,尽管看似正常,但对于面临困难的家庭来说可能会变得困难)”可知,本段主要讲述了书籍荒漠形成的原因,包括经济不发达、书店和图书馆数量不足、低收入家庭缺乏资源以及居民面临的多重压力等。故选A。
3.细节理解题。根据第五段“Therefore, I’m making books appear in everyday places in extraordinary ways. I fix free public book vending machines (自助售书机), host street-corner story times, and pop up on the block with free bookstores, so kids who don’t have McDonald’s money don’t have to worry about having book-fair money. You’ll find me delivering books to your front stoop. I have delivered 5,000 books to children living in book deserts. (因此,我正在以非凡的方式让书籍出现在日常场所。我修理免费的公共图书自动售货机,在街角举办故事时间,并在街区开设免费书店,这样没有麦当劳钱的孩子就不必担心没有书展的钱。你会发现我把书送到你家门口。我已经给生活在书籍荒漠中的孩子们送去了5000本书)”可知,作者通过提供免费书籍来帮助书籍荒漠中的孩子们。故选D。
4.推理判断题。根据最后一段“I believe everyone is a reader. They just haven’t found the right book yet. And that’s where librarians step in. We must meet them where they are and guide them along that journey. (我相信每个人都是读者。他们只是还没有找到合适的书。这就是图书馆员介入的地方。我们必须在他们所在的地方与他们相遇,并引导他们完成这段旅程)”可知,作者认为图书馆员应该主动接触读者,引导他们找到合适的书籍,因此可以得出结论,图书馆员应该主动接触读者。故选B。

At the age of five, Toni was diagnosed (诊断) with a rare visual disease, which would eventually steal his sight. There was no known timeline or cure. His parents chose to keep it from him so that he would grow up believing he could overcome every challenge.
At primary school, Toni tried everything from athletics to academics, from building models to working as a rubbish collector. Particularly, he fell in love with running and ran himself into the top spot at his school’s mile-long running race.
When Toni got into middle school, school life was tough for him. Bad eyesight made him a laughing stock, so he discovered early how best to read the moods and behaviour of others. It was a matter of survival in the school yard.
Before graduating from college at age 23, driven by his love for medicine, he always developed coping strategies. Realizing reading text books was slow going, identifying chemicals in the lab was difficult and performing operations was impractical, he turned to psychiatry (精神病学), which was something he could manage with his eyes shut. Additionally, he traced hospital walls to locate wards (病房) and chatted with patients frequently so as to make them feel relaxed.
In the 1980s, fishing emerged as a great pleasure for him. Toni claims mastering a fly rod (飞钓竿) while blind has been no trouble either, and likes to tell people it’s the fish that do the work because they have to grab the hook (钩子).
Today, at age 80, Toni continues to travel four hours north to his favourite fishing ground. The former doctor always says, “Get out and do what you love. Life’s beauty lies not in sight but in embracing each challenge as proof that limitations exist only to be redefined by passion.”
1.Why didn’t Toni’s parents tell him the truth?
A.Because he had already lost his sight.
B.Because they hoped him to be confident.
C.Because the disease could be cured one day.
D.Because there was no exact time for recovery.
2.How is the text mainly developed?
A.By listing data. B.By analyzing causes.
C.By making comparisons. D.By following time order.
3.Which of the following can best describe Toni?
A.Dependent and sensitive. B.Irresponsible and. rude.
C.Enthusiastic and brilliant. D.Generous and humorous.
4.What can we know from this passage?
A.One kind act can make a big difference.
B.One can overcome limitations with passion.
C.Looking on the bright side helps us feel happy.
D.Life is full of ups and downs that we can’t change.

Passage 2
(24-25高一下·内蒙古·期末)
Olivia Hillier’s side hustle (副业) started with a $5 T-shirt she found at a thrift store (旧货店).
Medical student Hillier had some experience of selling a few of her own old clothing items on an app called Poshmark. She never thought much of it. But one day she noticed other Poshmark sellers were profiting from selling thrift store finds. Because of her student loans, Hillier began studying their strategies and using them to create her own side hustle. That first T-shirt sold for $20. Since then, Hillier’s side hustle has brought in more than $117,000, including $85,000 last year alone. It currently averages $6,000 to $7,000 of profit per month, helping her lately purchase a five-bedroom house.
Hillier’s side hustle began in August 2020, when she noticed that other Poshmark sellers were posting thousands of items that couldn’t have been from their own closets (衣柜). She learned that many were sourcing their items from thrift stores. She spent the next two months testing various sellers’ methods. Then she centered on one style — bright vintage (古典的) pieces — because those items are sold the most quickly.
Hillier’s side hustle didn’t really pay off, though, until she found a balance between selling clothes and medical school. On Fridays, she’d run from classes to thrift stores, spending those evenings sorting and cleaning clothes. On Sundays, she’d take snaps of her new stock (存货). On Mondays, in between hospital rotations (换班), she’d upload the new products onto her Poshmark closet. And every other day, she’d run to the post office. “You’ve got to do it on a regular basis,” Hillier says. “If I didn’t love it so much, I wouldn’t make the time for it.”
Now, some of Hillier’s side hustle’s money covers her down payment on a house. The rest will go towards new furniture, travel, her two dogs and student loan payments. “A lot of people can’t get a stable job in the medical school because they don’t have the time or flexibility,” Hillier says. “It’s nice to not only have time to do something I like, but afford other things. I will keep this business moving on when I’m an attending doctor.”
1.What made Hillier decide to start her side hustle?
A.Her great love for fashionable clothes.
B.Her need to earn money at the moment.
C.Her purpose of making a career change.
D.Her early success in selling old clothes.
2.How did Hillier prepare for her side hustle?
A.By becoming a user of Poshmark.
B.By learning from others’ experience.
C.By contacting some Poshmark sellers.
D.By filling her closet with bright vintage clothes.
3.What is the key to Hillier’s success in her side hustle?
A.Knowing customers’ tastes. B.A big collection of clothes.
C.Following a routine. D.A large amount of free time.
4.What does Hillier plan to do in the future according to the text?
A.Hold on to both her side hustle and work.
B.Apply for a more flexible job.
C.Transform her side hustle into a hobby.
D.Buy another new house.
【答案】1.B 2.B 3.C 4.A

In 2023, Alex Mayer, a runner and college student, awoke confused and unable to move in a hospital bed. She suffered from short-term memory loss. Doctors diagnosed (诊断) her with a rare disease.
Alex’s disease confused her and her family. It seemed unbelievable that someone as young as her would be facing such unexpected physical and cognitive (认知的) challenges. She felt relieved to have a confirmed diagnosis, but she still had so many questions and few answers. She felt unprepared for how to follow her path to recovery.
Alex faced the challenge of relearning basic skills, and she had to accept her new reality that consisted of hours of physical therapy (治疗). Her old college life—filled with studying for exams, attending classes and social outings with friends—felt like a distant dream.
“The hardest part of my recovery was trying to accept that this had happened,” said Alex. “I was forever changed, and not everyone around me would be able to understand what that was like.”
Her recovery process was slow at first, but soon she felt alive within her. In order to regain some control of her healing journey, she set daily goals, like standing on one foot during her physical therapy sessions.
After several months of gradual progress, she started to run again. Once she regained her physical strength, she started to train even harder and set an ambitious goal to one day participate in the Boston Marathon. When her physical therapy sessions ended, she pushed herself to go out on daily runs.
Her perseverance paid off. She finished the Boston Marathon with her supportive friends and family cheering her on. When she crossed the finish line, she said she felt a great sense of gratitude. Her marathon medal represented just how far Alex had come physically and mentally.

Passage 4
(24-25高一下·辽宁·期末)
In 2018, marine biologist Sarah was studying the Great Barrier Reef when she found a sea turtle trapped in fishing nets. Its flippers were tangled, and its shell was covered in barnacles. Using a dive knife, she freed the turtle and named it Leo. Surprisingly, Leo didn’t swim away. It circled her, touched her hand, and stayed nearby. Over weeks, their relationship grew. Leo retuned regularly, allowing Sarah to clean its shell and responding to her underwater whistles. “If I blow a high trill,” she said, “Leo surfaces immediately. Sometimes it even brought seagrass as a ‘gift’—a playful gesture we hadn’t seen in any other turtle.”
Leo’s trust in humans wasn’t seen before. While others avoided people, Leo swam alongside Sarah during research. It even brought smaller turtles to her for cleaning, earning the nickname “Leo’s appointments.” One day, during a particularly challenging dive, the team struggled to find healthy reef sites. Leo guided them through a coral to a hidden area full of colorful fish and rare species. The team was amazed to see blue parrotfish, neon-yellow clownfish, and branching corals in natural condition. “Leo led us to treasure,” Sarah said. “This area had escaped bleaching and pollution, offering exact data for conservation efforts.”
Their relationship challenged scientific assumptions. “Leo isn’t just a subject,” Sarah wrote. “It’s a partner.” During a migration study, Leo swam by her side for an hour, eyes expressing curiosity. It occasionally poked its head out of the water to watch her on the boat. The team now studies Leo’s behavior, believing its presence attracts other marine life. For example, schools of angelfish often followed Leo, creating unique opportunities for observation. “Leo is a symbol of hope,” Sarah says. “In a threatened ocean, trust can grow. Maybe one day, we’ll see more animals like Leo bridging the gap between humans and nature.”
1.Why did Leo approach Sarah initially after being freed?
A.To express gratitude. B.To seek further help.
C.To warn her of danger. D.To take control.
2.What makes Leo’s behavior unusual?
A.Its ability to recognize sounds. B.Its large size in the reef.
C.Its habit of eating algae D.Its fear of human presence
3.What can we infer from the story?
A.Sarah invented the underwater whistle.
B.Leo led the team to a new research area.
C.Fishing nets are the main threat to sea turtles.
D.Sarah has freed many sea turtles from nets.
4.Which is the most suitable title?
A.The Great Barrier Reef: A Hidden Treasure
B.The Life of a Marine Biologist
C.The Danger of Fishing Nets in Oceans
D.An Unlikely Friendship with a Sea Turtle
【答案】1.A 2.A 3.B 4.D

1.推理判断题。根据文章第一段中“Surprisingly, Leo didn't swim away. It circled her, touched her hand, and stayed nearby. Over weeks, their relationship grew. Leo retuned regularly, allowing Sarah to clean its shell and responding to her underwater whistles. “If I blow a high trill,” she said, “Leo surfaces immediately. Sometimes it even brought seagrass as a ‘gift’—a playful gesture we hadn’t seen in any other turtle.”(令人惊讶的是,里奥并没有游走。它绕着她转,碰了碰她的手,就呆在她身边。几周后,他们的关系发展起来。里奥定期回来,让莎拉清洁它的外壳,并对她的水下哨声做出反应。“如果我吹高颤音,”她说,“里奥马上就会出现。有时它甚至会把海草作为‘礼物’——这是我们在其他海龟身上从未见过的顽皮举动。”)”可知,莎拉用潜水刀解救了被渔网困住的海龟里奥,之后里奥没有游走,而是围绕着她,触摸她的手并待在附近。从常理推断,里奥的这种行为是对莎拉解救它的一种感激之情的表达。故选A项。
2.细节理解题。根据第一段中““If I blow a high trill,” she said, “Leo surfaces immediately. Sometimes it even brought seagrass as a ‘gift’—a playful gesture we hadn’t seen in any other turtle.”(“如果我吹高颤音,”她说,“里奥马上就会出现。有时它甚至会把海草作为‘礼物’——这是我们在其他海龟身上从未见过的顽皮举动。”)”以及第二段中“Leo’s trust in humans wasn’t seen before. While others avoided people, Leo swam alongside Sarah during research.( 里奥对人类的信任前所未见。当其他动物躲着人的时候,里奥在研究时和萨拉一起游泳)”可知,里奥能够识别莎拉的水下哨声并做出反应,这种对声音的识别能力以及对人类表现出的信任是其他海龟没有的,是不寻常的。故选A项。
3.推理判断题。根据第二段中“Leo guided them through a coral to a hidden area full of colorful fish and rare species. The team was amazed to see blue parrotfish, neon-yellow clownfish, and branching corals in natural condition. “Leo led us to treasure,” Sarah said. “This area had escaped bleaching and pollution, offering exact data for conservation efforts.”( 里奥带领他们穿过一片珊瑚,来到一个充满五颜六色的鱼和稀有物种的隐藏区域。研究小组惊奇地看到了自然状态下的蓝色鹦嘴鱼、霓虹黄色小丑鱼和分支珊瑚。“里奥带我们去了宝藏,”萨拉说。“这个地区没有白化和污染,为保护工作提供了准确的数据。”)”可知,里奥带领研究团队到了一个隐藏的区域,这个区域充满了各种鱼类和稀有物种,也就是带领团队到了一个新的研究区域。故选B项。
4.主旨大意题。通读全文可知,文章主要讲述了海洋生物学家莎拉解救了海龟里奥之后,他们之间建立起了一种不寻常的友谊,里奥信任莎拉,和她一起进行研究等故事。由此可知,D 选项“An Unlikely Friendship with a Sea Turtle(与海龟的一段不可思议的友谊)”适合作为文章的标题。故选D项
