Bullying usually involves more people than you think. There are the people who bully and those who are bullied. Then there are “bystanders” — someone who joins in with the bullying or encourages the bullying by watching. People who see bullying but do nothing to stop it are also bystanders.

What can you do if you’re being bullied?
If you’re being bullied, you could try walking away, ignoring it or telling the person to stop. If that doesn’t work, it’s really important to reach out to a friend or classmate and ask them for help. Or speak to a parent, a teacher or another adult you trust. 4
What can you do to avoid bullying someone?
If you think that your actions could be hurting another person, it’s important to realize this.Try to find other positive ways to interact with people and help them feel good about themselves. 5 If you feel as if you can’t handle the situation, talk to an adult you trust.

(24-25高一下·辽宁·期末)
Craftsmanship is the art of creating something with passion, care and attention to detail. It is a timeless spirit that is respected and appreciated in various fields. At its core, craftsmanship means a firm commitment to quality. 1 This determined quest (追求) for excellence is what sets their work apart.
Craftsmen typically understand their materials. They are well aware that the quality of their work is directly tied to the quality of what they use. 2 A master wood-worker, for example, not only knows how to shape wood but also understands its grain (纹理) and how it ages over time. This knowledge allows them to choose the right wood and transform it into something extraordinary.
A true craftsman’s work goes beyond the mere act of creating products; they transform their work into an art form. This transformation requires a combination of excellent qualities of the craftsman. 3 It means deep knowledge and a set of skills that are usually developed through years of practice and experience in their chosen field.
4 And it sets a craftsman apart from a mere laborer. Their deep love for their craft is apparent in the energy and time they invest in their work. This passion often leads to constant innovation, as craftsmen always seek ways to improve their techniques.
To choose the path of craftsmanship is to set out on a lifelong journey of learning, improving and perfecting. It is not merely about acquiring a set of skills, but about adopting a mindset that values quality, discipline and a deep respect for the craft. The ultimate goal of a craftsman is not simply a product. 5
A.Each handmade item tells a story.
B.And one essential quality is expertness.
C.Craftsmen should embrace a growth mindset.
D.Passion is the driving force behind craftsmanship.
E.Therefore, they are very particular about materials.
F.Craftsmen work painstakingly to meet the highest standard.
G.It is to evolve from an individual into a master of their craft.

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.
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.
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.

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?

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.
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.
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.

Passage 1
(24-25高一下·辽宁大连·期末)
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.

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.

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.

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·内蒙古赤峰·期末)
Do you know what to do if you see or experience bullying (霸凌)? Read this article to understand more about bullying and find out what you can do to stop it.
What is bullying?
Bullying can be physical. It can also be verbal. 1 Bulliers tell other people not to be friends with victims. Bullying can happen anywhere, at school, on public transport or when they are walking home.
2
Bullying usually involves more people than you think. There are the people who bully and those who are bullied. Then there are “bystanders” — someone who joins in with the bullying or encourages the bullying by watching. People who see bullying but do nothing to stop it are also bystanders.
What should you do if you see bullying happening?
3 You can support the bullying victim by walking away from the situation with them.If you feel confident and safe, you can stop the bullying calmly and directly. Otherwise, you may decide to report the bullying to a trusted adult.
What can you do if you’re being bullied?
If you’re being bullied, you could try walking away, ignoring it or telling the person to stop. If that doesn’t work, it’s really important to reach out to a friend or classmate and ask them for help. Or speak to a parent, a teacher or another adult you trust. 4
What can you do to avoid bullying someone?
If you think that your actions could be hurting another person, it’s important to realize this.Try to find other positive ways to interact with people and help them feel good about themselves. 5 If you feel as if you can’t handle the situation, talk to an adult you trust.
A.Who are bystanders?
B.Who’s involved in bullying?
C.Another type of bullying is social.
D.But there are things that you can do.
E.Never join in with or encourage bullying.
F.It’s OK to admit that you’ve made a mistake.
G.Nobody should have to deal with bullying alone.
【答案】1.C 2.B 3.D 4.G 5.F
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了霸凌的类型、涉及人群,以及看到霸凌、遭受霸凌时的应对方法,还有如何避免霸凌他人,以助人们阻止霸凌。
1.根据上文“Bullying can be physical. It can also be verbal.(欺凌行为可以是身体上的,也可以是言语上的)”可知,前文提到霸凌有身体上的和言语上的,此处应介绍另一种类型。本句承接上文,且与后文“Bulliers tell other people not to be friends with victims”(霸凌者让他人不与受害者做朋友)这一社交霸凌行为呼应,故C选项“另一种类型的欺凌是社交方面的”符合语境,故选C。
2.根据本段内容“Bullying usually involves more people than you think. There are the people who bully and those who are bullied. Then there are “bystanders” — someone who joins in with the bullying or encourages the bullying by watching. People who see bullying but do nothing to stop it are also bystanders.(欺凌行为通常涉及的人数比你想象的要多。有实施欺凌的人,也有被欺凌的人。此外还有“旁观者”——那些参与欺凌行为或通过旁观默许这种行为的人。看到欺凌行为却袖手旁观、不采取任何制止措施的人也是旁观者)”可知,本段主要介绍霸凌涉及的人群:霸凌者、受害者和旁观者。故B选项“谁参与了欺凌行为?”符合语境,故选B。
3.根据后文“You can support the bullying victim by walking away from the situation with them. If you feel confident and safe, you can stop the bullying calmly and directly. Otherwise, you may decide to report the bullying to a trusted adult.(你可以通过与受害者一同离开现场的方式来为其提供支持。如果你感到自信且安全,就可以冷静、直接地制止这种欺凌行为。否则,你也可以决定向可信赖的成年人报告这一欺凌事件)”可知,本段开头提出“看到霸凌发生该做什么”,本句引出下文具体做法,起到承上启下的作用,故D选项“但还是有一些事情是可以去做的”符合语境,故选D。
4.根据上文“If you’re being bullied, you could try walking away, ignoring it or telling the person to stop. If that doesn’t work, it’s really important to reach out to a friend or classmate and ask them for help. Or speak to a parent, a teacher or another adult you trust.(如果你正遭受欺凌,你可以尝试转身离开、不予理睬或者要求那个人停止这种行为。如果这些方法都不管用,那么一定要向朋友或同学寻求帮助。或者也可以找家长、老师或者你信任的其他成年人谈谈)”可知,本段讲被霸凌时的应对方法,强调向他人求助,即不独自面对霸凌。故G选项“没有人应该独自应对欺凌”符合语境,故选G。
5.根据上文“If you think that your actions could be hurting another person, it’s important to realize this.Try to find other positive ways to interact with people and help them feel good about themselves.(如果你认为自己的行为可能会伤害到他人,那么就一定要意识到这一点。试着寻找其他积极的方式与他人交流,并帮助他们增强自信心)”以及后文“If you feel as if you can’t handle the situation, talk to an adult you trust.(如果你觉得自己无法应对当前的情况,那就找一个你信任的成年人倾诉一下吧)”可知,前文提到“若意识到自己的行为伤害他人,需积极改正”,后文建议“无法处理时求助成人”。选项F(承认自己犯错是可以的)是承上启下的关键,既呼应“意识到错误”,又为后续“求助”做铺垫。故F选项“承认自己犯了错误是没问题的”符合语境,故选。
Passage 2
(24-25高一下·辽宁·期末)
Craftsmanship is the art of creating something with passion, care and attention to detail. It is a timeless spirit that is respected and appreciated in various fields. At its core, craftsmanship means a firm commitment to quality. 1 This determined quest (追求) for excellence is what sets their work apart.
Craftsmen typically understand their materials. They are well aware that the quality of their work is directly tied to the quality of what they use. 2 A master wood-worker, for example, not only knows how to shape wood but also understands its grain (纹理) and how it ages over time. This knowledge allows them to choose the right wood and transform it into something extraordinary.
A true craftsman’s work goes beyond the mere act of creating products; they transform their work into an art form. This transformation requires a combination of excellent qualities of the craftsman. 3 It means deep knowledge and a set of skills that are usually developed through years of practice and experience in their chosen field.
4 And it sets a craftsman apart from a mere laborer. Their deep love for their craft is apparent in the energy and time they invest in their work. This passion often leads to constant innovation, as craftsmen always seek ways to improve their techniques.
To choose the path of craftsmanship is to set out on a lifelong journey of learning, improving and perfecting. It is not merely about acquiring a set of skills, but about adopting a mindset that values quality, discipline and a deep respect for the craft. The ultimate goal of a craftsman is not simply a product. 5
A.Each handmade item tells a story.
B.And one essential quality is expertness.
C.Craftsmen should embrace a growth mindset.
D.Passion is the driving force behind craftsmanship.
E.Therefore, they are very particular about materials.
F.Craftsmen work painstakingly to meet the highest standard.
G.It is to evolve from an individual into a master of their craft.
【答案】1.F 2.E 3.B 4.D 5.G
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了工匠精神的内涵,包括对质量的承诺、对材料的了解、对工艺的热爱以及终身学习和成长,目的是实现从个人到领域专家的转变。
1.根据上文“At its core, craftsmanship means a firm commitment to quality.(从本质上讲,工艺意味着对品质的坚定追求)”提到工匠精神的核心是对质量的坚定承诺,后文“This determined quest (追求) for excellence is what sets their work apart.(这种对卓越的坚定追求正是使他们的作品与众不同之处)”则提到这种对卓越的追求使得他们的作品与众不同。可知本句是在说明与众不同的原因,故选项F“工匠们努力工作以达到最高标准”符合语境。故选F。
2.根据上文“Craftsmen typically understand their materials. They are well aware that the quality of their work is directly tied to the quality of what they use.(工匠们通常对所使用的材料了如指掌。他们深知,其作品的质量与所使用的材料的质量直接相关)”可知,工匠通常非常了解他们的材料,深知工作质量与材料质量息息相关。选项E“因此,他们对材料非常挑剔”顺理成章地承接了前文,进一步说明了工匠基于对材料与工作质量关系的认识而表现出的对材料挑剔的态度,故选E。
3.根据上文“A true craftsman’s work goes beyond the mere act of creating products; they transform their work into an art form. This transformation requires a combination of excellent qualities of the craftsman.(一位真正的工匠的工作远不止于单纯地制造产品;他们将自己的作品转化为一种艺术形式。这种转变需要工匠具备一系列卓越的品质)”可知,真正的工匠把工作变成艺术形式,这需要工匠具备一系列优秀的品质。选项B“一个必要的品质是专业知识”与前文提到的“excellent qualities”相呼应,且引出了后面所讲的深厚知识和技能等内容,符合上下文逻辑,故选B。
4.根据后文“And it sets a craftsman apart from a mere laborer. Their deep love for their craft is apparent in the energy and time they invest in their work. This passion often leads to constant innovation, as craftsmen always seek ways to improve their techniques.(这使得工匠与普通劳动者区分开来。他们对自身技艺的深深热爱体现在他们投入工作所耗费的精力和时间之中。这种热情往往促使他们不断进行创新,因为工匠们总是寻求改进技艺的方法)”可知,后一句讲这种对工艺的热爱使工匠与普通劳动者区分开来。选项D“热情是工匠精神背后的驱动力”明确指出了热情这一要素,与后文工匠热爱工艺并投入大量时间和精力相呼应,起到承上启下的作用,故选D。
5.根据上文“To choose the path of craftsmanship is to set out on a lifelong journey of learning, improving and perfecting. It is not merely about acquiring a set of skills, but about adopting a mindset that values quality, discipline and a deep respect for the craft. The ultimate goal of a craftsman is not simply a product.(选择工艺之路意味着踏上一段终身学习、提升和完善的过程。这不仅仅是为了掌握一系列技能,更是要培养一种重视品质、遵守纪律以及对技艺深表尊重的心态。工匠的最终目标并非仅仅是一个产品)”可知,上文提到工匠的最终目标不仅仅是产品,而是选择了一条终身学习、提升和完善自己的道路,不仅仅是为了技能,而是一种重视质量等的思维模式。选项G“这意味着要从一个普通个体成长为各自领域的行家高手”与前文的目标追求相契合,总结了工匠的最终目标,故选G。
主题02 人与自我
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.
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
【答案】1.A 2.C 3.A 4.D
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了18岁学生Tiffany Gay为帮助视障人士发明可穿戴设备并努力改进推广的故事。
1.细节理解题。根据第二段中“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 (在我的成长过程中,我实际上和一位视力有问题的阿姨住在一起,我看着她的视力随着时间的推移而下降。看到这一点让我意识到,目前缺乏能够帮助视力残疾者适应环境的技术)”可知,Tiffany Gay发明这个设备的灵感来自于她阿姨视力下降。故选A。
2.主旨大意题。根据第三段“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 to warn the wearer when there are obstacles and other things in their path.

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
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了工程师和科学传播者Katya Echazarreta成为首位进入太空的墨西哥裔女性的经历和成就。
1.细节理解题。根据第二段中“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.(但工程师兼科学传播者Katya Echazarreta则是由一家非营利组织从数千名申请者中挑选出来参与此次旅行的。该组织的目标是将杰出的领导者送入太空,让他们体验“总览效应。据宇航员们描述,从太空俯瞰地球会让他们的人生观发生巨大转变。)”可知,Katya Echazarreta之所以被选中进入太空,是因为她被认为是一个优秀的人。故选B。
2.细节理解题。根据第三段中“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.(当我返回地面时,这更加坚定了我继续帮助不同背景的人进入太空、实现他们心愿的决心。)”可知,Echazarreta从太空旅行回来后,她想要帮助更多的人进入太空。故选A。
3.词句猜测题。根据第四段中“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.(她回忆说,在一个她不会说当地语言的新地方,她感到不确定,一位老师警告她,她可能不得不留级)”以及“after that, I just studied harder(从那以后,我就更加努力地学习)”可知,Echazarreta在新地方感到不确定,老师还警告她可能会留级,这反而激发了她,让她更加努力地学习。故fueled意思是“激发,促使”。A. Beat打败;B. Drove促使;C. Confused使困惑;D. Attracted吸引。故选B。
4.推理判断题。根据第四段中“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.

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

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.
【答案】1.D 2.A 3.C 4.B

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
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者从公共图书馆馆员转变为街头图书馆员,致力于解决书籍荒漠问题,为孩子们提供免费书籍的故事。
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。

Passage 1
(24-25高一下·辽宁大连·期末)
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.
【答案】1.B 2.D 3.C 4.B
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Toni的人生故事,包括他从小被诊断出患有罕见眼疾、在学校中的经历、对医学的热爱及选择精神病学作为专业、钓鱼的爱好以及他积极面对生活挑战的人生态度。
1.细节理解题。根据文章第一段“His parents chose to keep it from him so that he would grow up believing he could overcome every challenge.(他的父母选择向他隐瞒病情,这样他就能在成长过程中坚信自己可以克服所有挑战。)”可知,Toni的父母选择向他隐瞒病情,是为了让他在成长过程中相信自己能够克服所有挑战,即他们希望Toni能充满自信。故选B。
2.推理判断题。根据文章第一段“At the age of five, Toni was diagnosed(诊断) with a rare visual disease, which would eventually steal his sight.(五岁时,Toni被诊断出患有一种罕见的眼部疾病,这种病最终会夺走他的视力。)”、第二段“At primary school, Toni tried everything from athletics to academics, from building models to working as a rubbish collector.(小学期间,Toni尝试了各种事情,从体育运动到学术学习,从制作模型到当垃圾收集员。)”、第三段“When Toni got into middle school, school life was tough for him.(Toni上中学时,学校生活对他来说很艰难。)”、第四段“Before graduating from college at age 23, driven by his love for medicine, he always developed coping strategies.(23岁大学毕业前,出于对医学的热爱,他一直在摸索应对策略。)”、第五段“In the 1980s, fishing emerged as a great pleasure for him. (20世纪80年代,钓鱼成了他最大的乐趣。)”以及最后一段“Today, at age 80, Toni continues to travel four hours north to his favourite fishing ground. (如今,80岁的Toni仍然会向北驱车四小时,前往他最爱的钓鱼地点。)”可知,整篇文章按照时间先后顺序展开叙述。故选D。
3.推理判断题。根据文章第四段“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.( 23岁大学毕业前,出于对医学的热爱,他一直在摸索应对策略。他意识到,阅读课本进度缓慢,在实验室识别化学物质很困难,做手术更是不现实,于是他转向了精神病学——这是一个他闭着眼睛也能从事的领域。此外,他会沿着医院的墙壁摸索着找到病房,还经常和病人聊天,让他们感到放松。)”以及第五段“In the 1980s, fishing emerged as a great pleasure for him. (20世纪80年代,钓鱼成了他最大的乐趣。)”可知,Toni大学时因热爱医学转向精神病学并努力应对工作中的困难,还通过与病人聊天让他们放松,晚年仍坚持自己热爱的钓鱼,始终积极面对生活,展现出对生活和事业的热情;再根据第五段“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).(Toni说,失明后掌握飞钓竿对他来说也毫无难度,而且他喜欢告诉人们,其实是鱼在“干活”,因为鱼得自己咬住鱼钩。)”可知,Toni非常聪慧。故选C。
4.推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“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.”(这位前医生总是说:“走出去,去做你热爱的事。生活的美好不在于视觉所见,而在于拥抱每一个挑战——这证明,所谓的局限存在的意义,就是为了被热情重新定义。”)”以及Toni一生的经历:尽管视力逐渐丧失,却凭借热情在跑步、医学(精神病学)、钓鱼等领域不断突破,可知一个人可以用热情克服局限。故选B
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.”

【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了2018 年海洋生物学家莎拉解救了海龟里奥,二者建立信任。里奥展现出不寻常行为,还助团队科研,成为人与自然信任的希望象征。
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
