Her first flight was terrifying: “I was kind of freaking out,” she says, but once in the air, she loved the view. Katie is part of the Air-Force Junior ROTC program, which partners with Northwest Flight Service to teach teens to fly. Evie Nesselrode, a senior at another school, joined the program at 16. Though they attend different schools, Katie and Evie study physics, aircraft mechanics, and math together in flight school. “Flying uses precalculus and algebra (预科微积分和代数),” says Evie. “It makes my brain stronger.” Pilots need math daily: Addition & subtraction to calculate a plane’s weight (too heavy is unsafe for takeoff); Algebra to find flight time based on speed; Geometry to judge runway turns and takeoff angles (a too-steep angle can hit the plane’s tail). Students practice in the classroom and in the air, always with an adult copilot until they log 30 flight hours. Evie, now dizzy-free, plans to join the Air Force through New Mexico Institute. Katie also aims for a flying career. “Not many people get this opportunity,” she says. “I have big goals, and I’ll work hard for them.” This program shows how math connects to real-life adventures — and how teens can chase bold dreams with training and determination. 1．What is the meaning of the underlined phrase “freaking out” in paragraph 1? A．Nervous. B．Excited. C．Calm. D．Disappointed. 2．What can be inferred from the passage about the math requirements for pilots? A．Geometry is the most important math branch for pilots during flight. B．Math skills are crucial and widely applied in various aspects of flying. C．Pilots only need basic arithmetic skills like addition and subtraction. D．Pilots can totally rely on modem technology instead of math knowledge. 3．Which of the following words can best describe the two teenagers? A．Kind-hearted. B．Ambitious. C．Pessimistic D．Generous. 4．What is the passage mainly about? A．The challenges of learning to fly planes at a young age. B．How two teenagers use math skills in their flight training. C．Teenagers pursuing flying dreams with math and determination. D．The importance of the Air Force Junior ROTC program to teenagers. Passage 2 （24-25高二下·吉林·期末） From time to time, Ding Peng makes his way across the waves to Zhongtiedun, an island in Zhejiang Province. He has made a point of coming back to visit it to greet and observe the Chinese crested terns (中华凤头燕鸥) over the past ten years. The medium-sized bird is 30-40 centimeters long, with gray wings and a white body. It was first discovered in Indonesia by Heinrich Bernstein in 1861. It has since been sighted only in small numbers around the world. The birds were spotted in 1937 on islands around Qingdao, Shandong Province, and it was not until 2000 that a bird photographer spotted them on the Matsu Islands off the coast of Fujian Province, which immediately caused a storm in international ornithology (鸟类学) circles for researchers assumed that the birds had already died out. Born in Lanzhou, Gansu Province, Ding grew up seeing barren (贫瘠的) mountains and sandstorms, and had an awareness of environmental protection at an early age. That was why, after graduating from university in 2012, he readily took a job offer from the Jiushan Islands National Nature Reserve in Zhejiang. “I love the sea and my major could be of some use in protecting it,” he says. Looking back at his life on the islands, Ding admits that it was very tough. There was no electricity to charge mobile phones and no air conditioner during the hot summer, and drinking water was sent in by supply ships. The worst was the loneliness, though things took a turn for the better in 2017, when more volunteers came to join the bird protection team. Ding’s contributions were recognized by the local authorities of Ningbo this year, who named him one of the city’s “most beautiful people”. “Everything was worth it, now that more people are aware of the importance of protecting the birds, and now that the number of the birds is on the rise,” Ding says. 1．Why did the researchers feel surprised when the Chinese crested terns were found in 2000? A．They were spotted by a photographer instead of them. B．The event made them ashamed. C．They were unable to catch them. D．They thought the birds were extinct. 2．What was the main reason why Ding decided to take the job offer? A．His life experience in his hometown. B．His major. C．A good salary. D．The beautiful scenery. 3．How was Ding’s life on the islands? A．Adventurous. B．Enjoyable. C．Difficult. D．Inspiring. 4．What does Ding think of his team’s work? A．It’s fruitful. B．It’s perfect. C．It’s regrettable. D．It’s pointless. Passage 3 （24-25高二下·内蒙古·期末） I was a volunteer with the city of Milpitas and was studying at Mission College. One night after going to class, I was heading home and decided to stop off at a burrito (墨西哥卷饼) restaurant. I got my burrito and started to head for my car when I was approached by a homeless man. He was very dirty and obviously very hungry. He asked me for some change to buy a little food. As I was pulling some change out, I had an idea. I asked him to follow me back into the burrito restaurant to order. He was ashamed of the way he looked and said he did not want to go in there. But I insisted. When he finally followed me in, the people behind the counter (柜台) refused to let him in, but I told them that I was buying him dinner and he had a right to be there. After we argued over it for a while, they finally gave in. It seemed like he was relieved a bit to be sitting at a table. I asked him to order whatever he wanted. But he only ordered a burrito. For someone who has been on the fringes (边缘) of society, he was very surprised at my generosity. But to me, it was what any “human being” should do or at least offer. You had to be there to see the look in his face. It reminded me when I was young, my mom brought out a big birthday cake for me on my birthday, with all the candy, chocolate and goodies that we were about to eat. I think he felt special, like he was getting attention, something that I could see he hadn’t experienced in a long time. I often think about this story because, to me, it’s not just about helping someone out by feeding them. It’s more about giving them the respect and dignity of being a human being and allowing them to feel good about themselves. 1．Why did the homeless man approach the author? A．To ask for a lift. B．To beg for money. C．To request a burrito. D．To seek company. 2．What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 2 refer to? A．Where to sit in the restaurant. B．What to order for the homeless man. C．Whether to buy dinner for the homeless man. D．Whether to allow the homeless man to enter the restaurant. 3．Why does the author mention his birthday in paragraph 3? A．To demonstrate his wonderful childhood. B．To stress the importance of enjoying a feast. C．To contrast his life with that of the homeless man. D．To describe the happy feelings of the homeless man. 4．What does the author suggest doing in the last paragraph? A．Treating others with respect. B．Fighting against the world of hunger. C．Encouraging acts of bravery. D．Paying attention to the homeless. Passage 4 （24-25高二下·吉林·期末） NeSmith and Maxwell are long-time residents (居民) of Oglethorpe County, Georgia, and they have known each other for almost 50 years. In 2021, Maxwell called NeSmith to let him know that because of health problems, he would be closing his weekly newspaper, The Oglethorpe Echo. NeSmith decided to prevent the nearly 150-year-old local newspaper from being forgotten. NeSmith remembered waking up at 6 a. m. after that phone call, He jumped into his truck and drove to The Echo offices. Upon arriving, he suggested that his friend think of a new solution. “Well, what are we going to do?” Maxwell asked him. “Are you going to buy the newspaper?” NeSmith looked up, searching for an answer, Then, a sudden idea hit him. He would create an organization and Maxwell would donate The Echo to it. After leaving the office, NeSmith called Charles Davis, director of the University of Georgia’s Grady College. “I’ve got an idea,” NeSmith told him. “I want to turn The Echo into a real-life experience for students at Grady College who want to be reporters.” Davis loved the idea, and he and NeSmith developed a course with The Echo as its foundation. Students could experience a working newsroom which would act as a stepping stone into their careers. Of course, they needed someone to run the newspaper. Then Andy Johnston, who had been teaching at Grady for a month, appeared, “I believe in the project. We’ve heard about other newspapers closing, especially in rural counties,” Johnston said, “When that happens, it means their only source of news and the only thing that holds people together is closing. Johnston teamed up with Amanda Bright, who taught the course. Bright, a community reporter, helped create new digital platforms for The Echo, including an email newsletter and a website. The Echo also ran on a team of 12 volunteers that worked at the main office. The reason The Echo was able to continue is that everyone worked together — the students, Grady College, NeSmith, Maxwell, and the residents of Oglethorpe County. 1．For what purpose did Maxwell call NeSmith? A．To prevent his being forgotten. B．To keep him up to date on his health. C．To ask him to come and pay him a visit. D．To tell him about a decision he had made. 2．What may students at Grady College get from The Echo? A．Skills for running newspapers B．Work experience as a reporter. C．Donations to continue their education. D．Chances to study famous newspapers. 3．Why does Johnston place importance on The Echo? A．It has a long history. B．It offers fun to natives. C．It unites the local people. D．It is owned by his family. 4．What is the best title for the text? A．Newspapers are dying B．A county saves a newspaper C．Friends help out a man in need D．A project breathes new life into a county 主题02 人与自我 Passage 1 （24-25高二下·吉林·期末） “Someone once asked me, ‘What’s the tool you would want to give any student?’ And I said, ‘A mask and snorkel (潜水通气管) set,’” the ocean biologist Thys says in a video. And Thys explains, “Ninety-eight percent of the living space on this planet is the ocean. It’s worth a view.” Thys has devoted her career to seeing the ocean, and to helping others watch the great diversity of the underwater world. A big part of what motivates her work is the chance to let people develop a sense of respect for the grandness of the ocean, and to get people to participate in efforts to protect endangered ocean ecosystems. Since studying ocean biology, Thys has focused her research on how sea animals live. One animal she particularly studies is the ocean sunfish. “It’s so different from any other fish,” says Thys. “It looks like a mistake. Where does the tail go?” Thys adds. “The sunfish provides an entry point to understanding more about the behaviour of creatures in the ocean, and about how environmental changes impact underwater ecosystems.” Thys’s work also takes her above ground, where she’s looking at ways to create new connections between human populations and natural environments to help address social and environmental challenges. For instance, she’s working on nature’s effects on mental well-being. Thys’s passion for her work is evident in every lecture, video, and public appearance she makes. Using the media, Thys encourages people to learn about the ocean and love it. Due to many ocean research projects and activities from the media, Thys is up to her neck in work every day. She could hardly spare plenty of time for a good rest. Thys’s devotion to her work as an ocean scientist and ecological warrior is infectious. She’s a role model and an inspiring guide to ocean life. 1．Why would Thys like to give a mask and snorkel set to students? A．To carry out a survey. B．To tell a joke. C．To encourage them to explore the ocean. D．To advertise these products. 2．What greatly encourages Thys’s work according to Paragraph 2? A．The award from the government. B．Her parents’ suggestions. C．The chance to let people respect and protect the ocean. D．The profit from the fish in the sea. 3．What does Thys think of the ocean sunfish? A．It is often mistaken as other fish. B．It is ordinary but very important. C．It is a kind of rare fish in danger. D．It is unique and has big scientific value. 4．Which of the following can best describe Thys? A．Outgoing and caring. B．Devoted and passionate. C．Confident and sporty. D．Hardworking and brave. Passage 2 （24-25高二下·辽宁·期末） On the last days of July, I moved to a flat in Brixton and joined those with a garden for the first time. Before moving, I lived in a flat surrounded by a small plot of woodland nearby. There were a good six weeks during which the dawn chorus was so loud that waking up at 5 am was a daily routine. Watching the birds became a soap opera I was deeply invested in. In Brixton, though, all I could hear was traffic. Although I knew clearly that cities are not strongholds of naturalism, and that nature is always there waiting for me to find it, it still took me a while to get used to the fact that I had to walk more than five minutes to find a green space. It was for this reason that I turned to gardening. I was not a formally trained gardener; I taught myself on a concrete balcony (阳台), four stories up on a hill in Camberwell in my mid-20s. The only garden I had was in my head, and the space I had when I started my career was used for parties, barbecues and playing with the neighbor’s cat. Filled with blind enthusiasm and curiosity, I picked up plants from supermarkets and flower markets and planted them on my balcony, often killing them out of love and then starting all over again. I often spent whole weekends in that small space. The balcony had a good view: one of London’s shining skylines beneath high skies that changed colour and cloud by the minute. But it was so small that you had to look closely and looking closely is an essential part of enjoying nature, wherever you find it. And to be out on the balcony allowed me to care about things that were bigger than my career, relationship or sense of self. When all three started to waver, it was gardening — and nature more broadly — that enabled me to find a new way of life. 1．Why does the author mention the morning chorus? A．To show that the woods were close to his flat. B．To highlight the activity of birds in the morning. C．To illustrate the joy and routine nature brings. D．To emphasize the loudness of the bird songs. 2．What drove the author to take up gardening? A．The need for a new hobby. B．The lack of green spaces in the new location. C．Formal training at the age of 20. D．Influences of other gardeners. 3．What does the author’s gardening experience show? A．Gardening requires formal education. B．The balcony is ideal for growing plants. C．The author has a natural talent for gardening. D．Small spaces can develop deep connections with nature. 4．What is the author’s attitude towards gardening? A．Enthusiastic. B．Discouraged. C．Skeptical. D．Indifferent. 主题01 人与社会 Passage 1 （24-25高二下·吉林长春·期末） Where did we get this?” my wife asks me when she comes across a new-to-her item in our household. She already knows the answer: Either I bought it at a yard sale, or I found it on the street. Let’s say “rescued”, actually. Rescued it from the street. Items in that category include: the desk chair I'm sitting in, a much better potato masher than the one I broke, an ax with an intact (完好无损的) handle (unlike mine), silverware I keep in the car so we don’t use plastic stuff when we eat at the fish place, a banjo, and a didgeridoo. It is difficult to shame me about this. I feel both a moral and a financial impulse. Why should something go to a landfill if I have a use for it? Why should I pay top dollar for something if I can get one that's as good at low or no cost? I paid cash for a toy aircraft carrier. It was the most plastic I'd ever seen in one place: about 1.5 meters long,1 meter wide, and 0.76 meters tall. It was in pieces when I bought it. Our three boys were young then, and money was tight. I felt I could restore it to its epic glory. Sadly, I couldn’t find the parts. The boys quickly outgrew it, and I moved it along. It felt right to sell it for what I'd paid: four bucks. I spotted a rug (地毯) immediately at a yard sale. It looked new, and I didn’t have to talk myself into admiring the pattern. Twenty bucks. I couldn’t get the money out of my wallet fast enough. Not until I got it home and inside did I realize why the rug had been so inexpensive and yet still available. What was that smell? It was not a pet’s smell, but a chemical odor. I went online, and found that the glue used to attach the fibers to the backing was off-gassing VOCs (volatile organic compounds) and would do so far into the indeterminate future. I threw it out. Reusing is noble and economical. But if you decide to join me in this campaign, remember: Wake up and smell the carpet. 1．What lifestyle does the author like? A．Simple. B．Healthy. C．Sustainable. D．Independent. 2．As for the aircraft carrier, what is the author optimistic about? A．Recycling the most plastic from it. B．Returning it to its former grand state. C．Helping his boys complete the restoration. D．Making more money from the finished piece. 3．Why does the author tell the story of the rug? A．To ensure the practice of reusing. B．To stress the reward of reusing items. C．To highlight the caution in reusing items. D．To emphasize the importance of the web. 4．What might be the best title for the text? A．Why I reuse trash B．Where I recycle trash C．How I deal with waste D．What I learn from garbage Passage 2 （24-25高二下·黑龙江·期末） Some years ago, I had a friend who got into trouble on the internet. He was writing a book that showed a strong opinion on a controversial topic and had been talking about it on social media. He didn’t have a large following, but activists who opposed his view of the issue began to notice and decided that he needed punishing for wrongthink. Their anger about his work spread the conversation to people who anonymously (匿名地) and deliberately seek to upset others and start fights online — and one thing led to another, some of them began to abuse my friend harshly. “People are telling me to kill myself!” he told me, with desperation in his voice. He started worrying about being doxed. “Do I need private security? Maybe I should move.” Out of curiosity, I asked my friend how much time he was then spending on social media, monitoring all the abuse. “Pretty much all day,” he said. This made sense to him because he felt the severity of the situation demanded his full attention: A threat’s a threat, right? I made one simple suggestion: Delete the apps and stop interacting with social media for a week. He took my advice reluctantly, but over the next few days, he stopped thinking about the trouble so much. By the time he reopened the apps, he found those mean guys had largely moved on to new victims and targets. What my friend learned was that this annoyance, which had seemed very real to him, could be erased almost completely by using two powerful weapons: ______. What works in our internet-based culture can apply equally well to other areas of modern life. Take again this friend of mine for example. After that incident, he started thinking: Were there other areas of his life where the two weapons could work. After getting informed about alcohol use, he changed his perception of drinking and avoided engaging with the substance. He also decided to reevaluate what had been his favorite news organization; he then saw it in a much more questioning light, so he withdrew his attention by unsubscribing. 1．What did those opponents of the author’s friend do? A．They showed a strong opposition against the controversial topic. B．They angrily and publicly opposed that friend’s argument. C．They deliberately and secretly triggered online fights. D．They resorted to merciless bullying of that friend. 2．Which of the following may be an act of “doxing” (Paragraph 2)? A．calling someone names B．revealing one’s phone number C．visiting someone personally D．making up some stories 3．What did that targeted man do to survive the attacks? A．He talked with his friends. B．He moved house immediately. C．He ignored the abuse temporarily. D．He opened the app once every week. 4．What might be the weapons mentioned in the last paragraph? A．perception and attention B．friendship and ignorance C．refusal and departure D．disengagement and evaluation Passage 3 （24-25高二下·黑龙江大庆·期末） Adams Cassinga has had many identities: refugee (难民), journalist, mining consultant And now, defender of wildlife. As a child, he was fascinated by animals — gorillas living in the forests outside his hometown of Bukavu in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) -but his path to conservation was winding. His father, who feared Adams would be taken as a child soldier, sent him to South Africa. In Johannesburg, Adams learnt to survive on the streets while teaching himself English in public libraries. After he was granted official refugee status, he studied journalism and landed his first job working for a local newspaper. While working as an investigative reporter in 2016. Adams was shot three times! Adams changed career paths again, this time to work in the profitable mining industry in South Africa. In this role, he returned years later to the DRC to visit gold mines. One day, while flying to a gold mine in northeastern Congo, Adams saw the wounds of mining operations on the lush forest landscape. He began to think about the beauty of his country’s wild places and the struggle to protect them. After volunteering as an honorary range (护林人), Adams took his wildlife mission one big step further, founding Conserv Congo in 2020. Conserv Congo fights illegal hunting and trafficking (非法交易) through undercover investigations in pursuit of criminals in the illegal wildlife trade. With a team of volunteers including police officers, politicians and students, Adams steals into trafficking networks and conducts organized traps with the authorities Adams places great value in winning over the hearts and minds of the police officers he works with. “They need to understand the reason behind what we do. We have to transform them into nature lovers. They can only protect what they know and love,” he says. It also partners with multiple national parks, helping to prevent illegal hunting, training volunteers to patrol the parks with rangers, and buying uniforms and other supplies for rangers. To date, the non-profit has worked on more than 6,000 criminal cases, rescued hundreds of trafficked animals from chimps to parrots, and seized tons of ivory and pangolin scales. 1．What did Adams go through when he arrived in South Africa?

Passage 4 （24-25高二下·黑龙江佳木斯·期末） In 1990, Hal Donaldson was 23 years old, fresh out of college and found himself in Calcutta, India, where he was asked to interview Mother Teresa. Donaldson says about the great woman famed for feeding the hungry, “She wasn’t wearing shoes and her ankles were swollen (肿的). She sat down with me and was very polite. ”After the interview, Mother Teresa asked him, “What are you doing to help the poor?” Donaldson admitted that he was young and wasn’t focused on helping others. With a smile on her face, Mother Teresa said, “Everyone can do something.” Those words deeply struck Donaldson and forced him to face some hard truths about himself. Hal Donaldson grew up in the San Francisco Bay area. When he was 12 years old, his parents were hit by a drunk driver; his father died, and his mother was seriously injured. To make ends met, they went on welfare. Donaldson says, “I had holes in my shoes and clothes. When you’re teased at school for that, you just want to escape.” He managed to do just that. Donaldson got into college and turned his focus to making money for himself. He says, “I was just trying to find my way out of insignificance. However, it’s easy to overlook others along the way. I was the guy that would see a homeless person and cross the street; so I didn’t have to confront (面对) him. My focus was on climbing to the top instead of helping those trying to climb with me.” Donaldson returned home from India with a different thought. He traveled to eight cities in America and stayed on the streets and listened to stories of the homeless. “My heart broke,” he says. “I knew I could no longer just live for myself.” Inspired by Mother Teresa’s words and the stories he’d heard across America, Donaldson loaded a pick-up truck with $300 worth of groceries and handed them out to anyone who needed help. In1994, Donaldson created the nonprofit organization, Convoy for Hope, which works with communities across America and around the world. Their work focuses on feeding children, women’s empowerment, helping farmers and disaster services. 1．What did 23-year-old Hal Donaldson do in India? A．He interviewed Mother Teresa. B．He fed the hungry with Mother Teresa, C．He attended an interview for a college. D．He did something to help the poor. 2．What can we learn about Hal Donaldson from paragraph 4? A．He was born with disability. B．He led a hard life as a child. C．He was well treated at school D．He survived as a parentless boy. 3．How does Hal Donaldson describe himself in college? A．Self-centered. B．Sympathetic. C．Popular. D．Casual. 4．How did Hal Donaldson change after he returned home from India? A．He preferred traveling to volunteering. B．He suddenly fell in love with journalism. C．He turned his focus to living for himself. D．He gradually devoted himself to helping others. 主题02 人与自我 Passage 1 （24-25高二下辽宁沈阳·期末） Eppie’s cheeks were flushed with distress. “Thank you, sir and madam. But I can’t leave my father.” Eppie went back to Silas’s chair, and put an arm round his neck, brushing the tears from her eyes. Godfrey was extremely annoyed. He wanted to do what he thought was his duty. And adopting Eppie would make him feel much less guilty about his past. “But, Eppie, you must agree,” he cried. “You are my daughter! Silas Marner, you know, Eppie’s mother was my wife and she is my own child.” Eppie’s face went white. Silas, who had been relieved by hearing Eppie’s answer to Godfrey, now answered bitterly, “Then, sir, why didn’t you confess this sixteen years ago, before I began to love her? Why do you come to take her away now, when it’s like taking the heart out of my body? God gave her to me because you abandoned her! And He considers her mine!” “I think, Marner,” he said firmly, “that you should consider what’s best for Eppie. You shouldn’t stand in her way when she could have a better life.” Silas was silent for a moment. He was worried that perhaps Godfrey was right, and that it was selfish of him to keep Eppie. At last he brought out the difficult words. “All right. Speak to the child. I won't prevent her from going.” Godfrey and his wife were relieved to hear this, and thought Eppie would now agree. “Eppie, my dear,” said Godfrey, “although I haven’t been a good father to you so far, I want to do my best for you now.” But Eppie did not come forward this time. She stood by Silas’s side, holding his hand in hers, and spoke almost coldly. “Thank you for your kind offer. But I wouldn’t be happy if I left father. He’d have nobody if I weren’t here. Nobody shall ever come between him and me!” “But you must make sure, Eppie,” said Silas worriedly, “that you won't be sorry, if you decide to stay with poor people. You could have a much better life.” “I’ll never be sorry,” said Eppie firmly. “I don’t want to be rich, if I can’t live with the people I know and love.” 1．Why did Godfrey want to claim Eppie back? A．To please his present wife. B．To repair his public reputation. C．To ease his sense of guilt. D．To make things easier for Silas. 2．How did Silas feel according to paragraph 3? A．Annoyed. B．Relieved. C．Surprised. D．Confused. 3．What made Silas finally let Eppie make her own decision? A．Pressure from Godfrey. B．His deep love for her. C．Fear of legal consequences. D．His desire for moral superiority. 4．What values does Eppie’s decision mirror? A．Putting personal freedom first. B．Living up to family expectations. C．Focusing on material comforts. D．Valuing emotional bonds over wealth. Passage 2 （24-25高二下·吉林·期末） High school ended and all I remembered was feeling stuck. Most of my peers (同龄人) had picked out their majors and some even planned their careers. But I was still wondering about that. I’ve always enjoyed writing but didn’t know how to make a career out of it. After researching my options, such as journalism, I thought Professional Communications could improve my writing skills and lead me to a career in business. With that, I sent in my application, was accepted and started preparing for my first term of university. When course intentions rolled around, I began looking at the list of minors. Marketing caught my attention. It would complement (补充) my communications degree while providing me with the necessary business courses that were outside of the program. Without hesitation, I scheduled marketing into my studies, with the goal of using that newfound knowledge to accompany the technical skills that my major would provide me with. My school year began in a pretty typical way: the orientation week (迎新周), joining clubs and meeting new people. As time went on, I found myself enjoying the marketing courses more than the communications courses, and it was then that I first began to consider making a change. Finally, I spoke with a friend who had switched to a different major, and his words of encouragement were the final push I needed to go through with the decision. A few days later, I sent in my application, and soon I received my acceptance letter. I’ve now been gifted with a wonderful start to the year, and I couldn’t be happier about making the change. I feel less pressured to “find myself” and can put 110% effort into my studies. A note to high school students: University brings with it a load of new beginnings and self-reflection. It’s perfectly fine to come into university thinking you want one thing and finding out along the way that it might not be the right path for you. 1．Why was the author at a loss after high school? A．She suffered from a lack of confidence. B．She fell behind her peers in performance. C．She was afraid to choose a wrong university. D．She struggled to decide a future direction. 2．Which aspect of marketing attracted the author? A．Its business courses. B．Its exciting career opportunities. C．Its stress on technical skills.

Her first flight was terrifying: “I was kind of freaking out,” she says, but once in the air, she loved the view. Katie is part of the Air-Force Junior ROTC program, which partners with Northwest Flight Service to teach teens to fly. Evie Nesselrode, a senior at another school, joined the program at 16. Though they attend different schools, Katie and Evie study physics, aircraft mechanics, and math together in flight school. “Flying uses precalculus and algebra (预科微积分和代数),” says Evie. “It makes my brain stronger.” Pilots need math daily: Addition & subtraction to calculate a plane’s weight (too heavy is unsafe for takeoff); Algebra to find flight time based on speed; Geometry to judge runway turns and takeoff angles (a too-steep angle can hit the plane’s tail). Students practice in the classroom and in the air, always with an adult copilot until they log 30 flight hours. Evie, now dizzy-free, plans to join the Air Force through New Mexico Institute. Katie also aims for a flying career. “Not many people get this opportunity,” she says. “I have big goals, and I’ll work hard for them.” This program shows how math connects to real-life adventures — and how teens can chase bold dreams with training and determination. 1．What is the meaning of the underlined phrase “freaking out” in paragraph 1? A．Nervous. B．Excited. C．Calm. D．Disappointed. 2．What can be inferred from the passage about the math requirements for pilots? A．Geometry is the most important math branch for pilots during flight. B．Math skills are crucial and widely applied in various aspects of flying. C．Pilots only need basic arithmetic skills like addition and subtraction. D．Pilots can totally rely on modem technology instead of math knowledge. 3．Which of the following words can best describe the two teenagers? A．Kind-hearted. B．Ambitious. C．Pessimistic D．Generous. 4．What is the passage mainly about? A．The challenges of learning to fly planes at a young age. B．How two teenagers use math skills in their flight training. C．Teenagers pursuing flying dreams with math and determination. D．The importance of the Air Force Junior ROTC program to teenagers. 【答案】1．A 2．B 3．B 4．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了两位青少年Katie和Evie通过空军青少年预备军官训练团项目学习飞行，并展示了数学在飞行训练中的广泛应用以及她们对飞行梦想的追求。 1．词句猜测题。根据第一段中“Her first flight was terrifying: “I was kind of freaking out,” she says, but once in the air, she loved the view.(她的第一次飞行很可怕：“我有点freaking out，”她说，但一到空中，她就喜欢上了景色。)”中的“terrifying”以及“but once in the air, she loved the view.”可知，freaking out描述的是首次飞行时的害怕、紧张情绪，freaking out的意思是“紧张的”与选项A“Nervous.(紧张的)”意思相近。故选A。 2．推理判断题。根据第二段中“Pilots need math daily: Addition & subtraction to calculate a plane’s weight (too heavy is unsafe for takeoff); Algebra to find flight time based on speed; Geometry to judge runway turns and takeoff angles (a too-steep angle can hit the plane’s tail).(飞行员每天都需要数学：加减法来计算飞机的重量（太重对起飞不安全）；代数用来根据速度计算飞行时间；几何学用来判断跑道转弯和起飞角度（角度太陡会撞到飞机尾部）。)”可知，数学技能在飞行的各个方面都至关重要且广泛应用。故选B。 3．推理判断题。根据第三段中“Evie, now dizzy-free, plans to join the Air Force through New Mexico Institute. Katie also aims for a flying career.(Evie现在不再头晕，计划通过新墨西哥学院加入空军。凯蒂的目标也是从事飞行事业。)”以及“Katie also aims for a flying career. “Not many people get this opportunity,” she says. “I have big goals, and I’ll work hard for them.”(凯蒂的目标是成为一名飞行员。‘没有多少人能得到这样的机会，’她说。‘我有远大的目标，我会为之努力。’)”可知，这两位青少年都有远大的目标，即有雄心壮志。故选B。 4．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是根据最后一段“This program shows how math connects to real-life adventures — and how teens can chase bold dreams with training and determination.(这个项目展示了数学如何与现实生活中的冒险相联系，以及青少年如何通过训练和决心追逐大胆的梦想。)”可知，文章主要讲述了两位青少年Katie和Evie通过空军青少年预备军官训练团项目学习飞行，并展示了数学在飞行训练中的广泛应用以及她们对飞行梦想的追求。可知，C选项“Teenagers pursuing flying dreams with math and determination.(青少年用数学和决心追逐飞行梦想)”最符合文章主旨。故选C。 Passage 2 （24-25高二下·吉林·期末） From time to time, Ding Peng makes his way across the waves to Zhongtiedun, an island in Zhejiang Province. He has made a point of coming back to visit it to greet and observe the Chinese crested terns (中华凤头燕鸥) over the past ten years. The medium-sized bird is 30-40 centimeters long, with gray wings and a white body. It was first discovered in Indonesia by Heinrich Bernstein in 1861. It has since been sighted only in small numbers around the world. The birds were spotted in 1937 on islands around Qingdao, Shandong Province, and it was not until 2000 that a bird photographer spotted them on the Matsu Islands off the coast of Fujian Province, which immediately caused a storm in international ornithology (鸟类学) circles for researchers assumed that the birds had already died out. Born in Lanzhou, Gansu Province, Ding grew up seeing barren (贫瘠的) mountains and sandstorms, and had an awareness of environmental protection at an early age. That was why, after graduating from university in 2012, he readily took a job offer from the Jiushan Islands National Nature Reserve in Zhejiang. “I love the sea and my major could be of some use in protecting it,” he says. Looking back at his life on the islands, Ding admits that it was very tough. There was no electricity to charge mobile phones and no air conditioner during the hot summer, and drinking water was sent in by supply ships. The worst was the loneliness, though things took a turn for the better in 2017, when more volunteers came to join the bird protection team. Ding’s contributions were recognized by the local authorities of Ningbo this year, who named him one of the city’s “most beautiful people”. “Everything was worth it, now that more people are aware of the importance of protecting the birds, and now that the number of the birds is on the rise,” Ding says. 1．Why did the researchers feel surprised when the Chinese crested terns were found in 2000? A．They were spotted by a photographer instead of them. B．The event made them ashamed. C．They were unable to catch them. D．They thought the birds were extinct. 2．What was the main reason why Ding decided to take the job offer? A．His life experience in his hometown. B．His major. C．A good salary. D．The beautiful scenery. 3．How was Ding’s life on the islands? A．Adventurous. B．Enjoyable. C．Difficult. D．Inspiring. 4．What does Ding think of his team’s work? A．It’s fruitful. B．It’s perfect. C．It’s regrettable. D．It’s pointless. 【答案】1．D 2．A 3．C 4．A 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了丁鹏以及其团队为保护中华凤头燕鸥所付出的努力并产生良好效果的事迹。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段中“The birds were spotted in 1937 on islands around Qingdao, Shandong Province, and it was not until 2000 that a bird photographer spotted them on the Matsu Islands off the coast of Fujian Province, which immediately caused a storm in international ornithology (鸟类学) circles for researchers assumed that the birds had already died out. (1937年，人们在山东青岛附近的岛屿上发现了这种鸟，直到2000年，一位鸟类摄影师在福建沿海的马祖列岛发现了它们，这一消息立即在国际鸟类学界引起了轩然大波，因为研究人员认为这种鸟已经灭绝了)”可知，研究人员在2000年发现中华凤头燕鸥时感到惊讶是因为他们认为这种鸟已经灭绝了。故选D项。 2．细节理解题。根据第三段中“Born in Lanzhou, Gansu Province, Ding grew up seeing barren (贫瘠的) mountains and sandstorms, and had an awareness of environmental protection at an early age. That was why, after graduating from university in 2012, he readily took a job offer from the Jiushan Islands National Nature Reserve in Zhejiang. (丁出生在甘肃兰州，从小在荒山和沙尘暴中长大，从小就有环保意识。这就是为什么2012年大学毕业后，他欣然接受了浙江韭山列岛国家自然保护区的工作机会)”可知，丁鹏决定接受这份工作的主要原因是他在家乡的生活经历让他早有环保意识。故选A项。 3．细节理解题。根据第四段“Looking back at his life on the islands, Ding admits that it was very tough. There was no electricity to charge mobile phones and no air conditioner during the hot summer, and drinking water was sent in by supply ships. The worst was the loneliness, though things took a turn for the better in 2017, when more volunteers came to join the bird protection team. (回顾在岛上的生活，丁鹏坦言那段日子十分艰难。没有电给手机充电，炎热的夏天也没有空调，饮用水要靠补给船运送。最糟糕的是孤独，不过 2017 年情况有了好转，更多志愿者加入了护鸟队伍)”可知，丁鹏在岛上生活艰难。故选C项。 4．推理判断题。根据最后一段中““Everything was worth it, now that more people are aware of the importance of protecting the birds, and now that the number of the birds is on the rise,” Ding says.(丁鹏说：“一切都是值得的，因为现在更多人意识到了保护这些鸟类的重要性，而且它们的数量也在不断增加。”)”可推知，丁鹏认为他们的工作是富有成效的。故选A项。 Passage 3 （24-25高二下·内蒙古·期末） I was a volunteer with the city of Milpitas and was studying at Mission College. One night after going to class, I was heading home and decided to stop off at a burrito (墨西哥卷饼) restaurant. I got my burrito and started to head for my car when I was approached by a homeless man. He was very dirty and obviously very hungry. He asked me for some change to buy a little food. As I was pulling some change out, I had an idea. I asked him to follow me back into the burrito restaurant to order. He was ashamed of the way he looked and said he did not want to go in there. But I insisted. When he finally followed me in, the people behind the counter (柜台) refused to let him in, but I told them that I was buying him dinner and he had a right to be there. After we argued over it for a while, they finally gave in. It seemed like he was relieved a bit to be sitting at a table. I asked him to order whatever he wanted. But he only ordered a burrito. For someone who has been on the fringes (边缘) of society, he was very surprised at my generosity. But to me, it was what any “human being” should do or at least offer. You had to be there to see the look in his face. It reminded me when I was young, my mom brought out a big birthday cake for me on my birthday, with all the candy, chocolate and goodies that we were about to eat. I think he felt special, like he was getting attention, something that I could see he hadn’t experienced in a long time. I often think about this story because, to me, it’s not just about helping someone out by feeding them. It’s more about giving them the respect and dignity of being a human being and allowing them to feel good about themselves. 1．Why did the homeless man approach the author? A．To ask for a lift. B．To beg for money. C．To request a burrito. D．To seek company. 2．What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 2 refer to? A．Where to sit in the restaurant. B．What to order for the homeless man. C．Whether to buy dinner for the homeless man. D．Whether to allow the homeless man to enter the restaurant. 3．Why does the author mention his birthday in paragraph 3? A．To demonstrate his wonderful childhood. B．To stress the importance of enjoying a feast. C．To contrast his life with that of the homeless man. D．To describe the happy feelings of the homeless man. 4．What does the author suggest doing in the last paragraph? A．Treating others with respect. B．Fighting against the world of hunger. C．Encouraging acts of bravery. D．Paying attention to the homeless. 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．D 4．A 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者帮助一位流浪汉进入餐馆用餐并让他感受到尊重和温暖的故事。 【详解】1．细节理解题。根据第一段中“He asked me for some change to buy a little food.(他向我要些零钱买点吃的)”可知，无家可归的男子靠近作者是为了乞讨钱。故选B。 2．词句猜测题。根据第二段中“When he finally followed me in, the people behind the counter refused to let him in, but I told them that I was buying him dinner and he had a right to be there. After we argued over it for a while, they finally gave in.(当他终于跟着我进来时，柜台后面的人拒绝让他进来，但我告诉他们我要给他买晚餐，他有权待在那里。我们就这件事争论了一会儿后，他们终于让步了)”可知，作者和柜台后面的人争论了一会儿后，他们才同意让流浪汉进入餐馆，“it”指“是否允许流浪汉进入餐馆”。故选D。 3．推理判断题。根据第三段中“I think he felt special, like he was getting attention, something that I could see he hadn’t experienced in a long time.(我觉得他很特别，就像他得到了关注，我可以看出他已经很久没有这种感觉了)”以及作者提及小时候生日时妈妈准备蛋糕带来的快乐，可知作者是用自己的快乐感受来描述无家可归男子当时的幸福心情。故选D。 4．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“It’s more about giving them the respect and dignity of being a human being and allowing them to feel good about themselves.(更多的是给予他们作为人的尊重和尊严，让他们自我感觉良好)”可知，作者在最后一段建议要尊重他人。故选A Passage 4 （24-25高二下·吉林·期末） NeSmith and Maxwell are long-time residents (居民) of Oglethorpe County, Georgia, and they have known each other for almost 50 years. In 2021, Maxwell called NeSmith to let him know that because of health problems, he would be closing his weekly newspaper, The Oglethorpe Echo. NeSmith decided to prevent the nearly 150-year-old local newspaper from being forgotten. NeSmith remembered waking up at 6 a. m. after that phone call, He jumped into his truck and drove to The Echo offices. Upon arriving, he suggested that his friend think of a new solution. “Well, what are we going to do?” Maxwell asked him. “Are you going to buy the newspaper?” NeSmith looked up, searching for an answer, Then, a sudden idea hit him. He would create an organization and Maxwell would donate The Echo to it. After leaving the office, NeSmith called Charles Davis, director of the University of Georgia’s Grady College. “I’ve got an idea,” NeSmith told him. “I want to turn The Echo into a real-life experience for students at Grady College who want to be reporters.” Davis loved the idea, and he and NeSmith developed a course with The Echo as its foundation. Students could experience a working newsroom which would act as a stepping stone into their careers. Of course, they needed someone to run the newspaper. Then Andy Johnston, who had been teaching at Grady for a month, appeared, “I believe in the project. We’ve heard about other newspapers closing, especially in rural counties,” Johnston said, “When that happens, it means their only source of news and the only thing that holds people together is closing. Johnston teamed up with Amanda Bright, who taught the course. Bright, a community reporter, helped create new digital platforms for The Echo, including an email newsletter and a website. The Echo also ran on a team of 12 volunteers that worked at the main office. The reason The Echo was able to continue is that everyone worked together — the students, Grady College, NeSmith, Maxwell, and the residents of Oglethorpe County. 1．For what purpose did Maxwell call NeSmith? A．To prevent his being forgotten. B．To keep him up to date on his health. C．To ask him to come and pay him a visit. D．To tell him about a decision he had made. 2．What may students at Grady College get from The Echo? A．Skills for running newspapers B．Work experience as a reporter. C．Donations to continue their education. D．Chances to study famous newspapers. 3．Why does Johnston place importance on The Echo? A．It has a long history. B．It offers fun to natives. C．It unites the local people. D．It is owned by his family. 4．What is the best title for the text? A．Newspapers are dying B．A county saves a newspaper C．Friends help out a man in need D．A project breathes new life into a county 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．C 4．B 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。本文讲述了在乔治亚州奥格尔索普县，NeSmith和Maxwell为挽救当地有着近150年历史的报纸《The Oglethorpe Echo》所做出的努力，通过与乔治亚大学格雷迪学院的合作，使其成为学生实践的平台，并得以继续运营的故事。 1．推理判断题。根据第一段“In 2021, Maxwell called NeSmith to let him know that because of health problems, he would be closing his weekly newspaper, The Oglethorpe Echo.(2021年，Maxwell打电话给NeSmith，告诉他因为健康问题，他将关闭他的周报《The Oglethorpe Echo》)”可知，Maxwell打电话给NeSmith是为了告诉他自己做出的一个决定，也就是因为健康问题要关闭周报。故选D。 2．推理判断题。根据第五段“Davis loved the idea, and he and NeSmith developed a course with The Echo as its foundation. Students could experience a working newsroom which would act as a stepping stone into their careers.(Davis很喜欢这个主意，他和NeSmith以《The Echo》为基础开发了一门课程。学生们可以体验一个真正的新闻编辑室，这将成为他们职业生涯的垫脚石)”可知，格雷迪学院的学生能从《The Echo》中获得作为记者的工作经验。故选B。 3．细节理解题。根据第六段“When that happens, it means their only source of news and the only thing that holds people together is closing.(当这种情况发生时，就意味着他们唯一的新闻来源和唯一能把人们团结在一起的东西正在消失)”可知，Johnston认为《The Echo》很重要是因为它团结了当地居民。故选C。 4．主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文主要讲述了在乔治亚州奥格尔索普县，NeSmith和Maxwell为挽救当地有着近150年历史的报纸《The Oglethorpe Echo》所做出的努力，通过与乔治亚大学格雷迪学院的合作，使其成为学生实践的平台，并得以继续运营的故事，所以选项B“一个县挽救了一份报纸”符合文意，最能概括文章内容。故选B 主题02 人与自我 Passage 1 （24-25高二下·吉林·期末） “Someone once asked me, ‘What’s the tool you would want to give any student?’ And I said, ‘A mask and snorkel (潜水通气管) set,’” the ocean biologist Thys says in a video. And Thys explains, “Ninety-eight percent of the living space on this planet is the ocean. It’s worth a view.” Thys has devoted her career to seeing the ocean, and to helping others watch the great diversity of the underwater world. A big part of what motivates her work is the chance to let people develop a sense of respect for the grandness of the ocean, and to get people to participate in efforts to protect endangered ocean ecosystems. Since studying ocean biology, Thys has focused her research on how sea animals live. One animal she particularly studies is the ocean sunfish. “It’s so different from any other fish,” says Thys. “It looks like a mistake. Where does the tail go?” Thys adds. “The sunfish provides an entry point to understanding more about the behaviour of creatures in the ocean, and about how environmental changes impact underwater ecosystems.” Thys’s work also takes her above ground, where she’s looking at ways to create new connections between human populations and natural environments to help address social and environmental challenges. For instance, she’s working on nature’s effects on mental well-being. Thys’s passion for her work is evident in every lecture, video, and public appearance she makes. Using the media, Thys encourages people to learn about the ocean and love it. Due to many ocean research projects and activities from the media, Thys is up to her neck in work every day. She could hardly spare plenty of time for a good rest. Thys’s devotion to her work as an ocean scientist and ecological warrior is infectious. She’s a role model and an inspiring guide to ocean life. 1．Why would Thys like to give a mask and snorkel set to students? A．To carry out a survey. B．To tell a joke. C．To encourage them to explore the ocean. D．To advertise these products. 2．What greatly encourages Thys’s work according to Paragraph 2? A．The award from the government. B．Her parents’ suggestions. C．The chance to let people respect and protect the ocean. D．The profit from the fish in the sea. 3．What does Thys think of the ocean sunfish? A．It is often mistaken as other fish. B．It is ordinary but very important. C．It is a kind of rare fish in danger. D．It is unique and has big scientific value. 4．Which of the following can best describe Thys? A．Outgoing and caring. B．Devoted and passionate. C．Confident and sporty. D．Hardworking and brave. 【答案】1．C 2．C 3．D 4．B 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍的是海洋生物学家Thys将她的职业生涯奉献给了观察海洋，她是海洋生物的榜样和鼓舞人心的向导。 1．细节理解题。根据首段““Someone once asked me, ‘What’s the tool you would want to give any student?’ And I said, ‘A mask and snorkel (潜水通气管) set,’” the ocean biologist Thys says in a video. And Thys explains, “Ninety-eight percent of the living space on this planet is the ocean. It’s worth a view.”(海洋生物学家Thys在一段视频中说。有人曾经问我，“你想给学生什么工具？”我说，“一套面罩和通气管。”Thys解释说“这个星球上98%的生存空间是海洋。值得一看”)”可知，Thys认为这个星球上98%的生存空间是海洋，值得一看，由此可知，Thys送给学生面罩和通气管是为了鼓励他们探索海洋。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据第二段中的“A big part of what motivates her work is the chance to let people develop a sense of respect for the grandness of the ocean, and to get people to participate in efforts to protect endangered ocean ecosystems. (她工作的动力很大一部分是有机会让人们对海洋的壮丽产生尊重，并让人们参与保护濒危海洋生态系统的努力)”可知，让人们尊重和保护海洋的机会是她工作的动力。故选C。 3．细节理解题。根据第三段中的““It’s so different from any other fish,” says Thys. “It looks like a mistake. Where does the tail go?” Thys adds. “The sunfish provides an entry point to understanding more about the behaviour of creatures in the ocean, and about how environmental changes impact underwater ecosystems.” (“它和其他任何鱼都不一样，”Thys说。“这看起来像是一个错误。尾巴去哪儿了？”Thys补充道“太阳鱼为更多地了解海洋生物的行为以及环境变化如何影响水下生态系统提供了一个切入点。”)”可知，Thys认为太阳鱼是独一无二的，具有很大的科学价值。故选D。 4．推理判断题。根据文章的最后一段“Thys’s passion for her work is evident in every lecture, video, and public appearance she makes.(Thys对工作的热情在她的每一次演讲、视频和公开露面中都很明显)”以及“Thys’s devotion to her work as an ocean scientist and ecological warrior is infectious.(作为一名海洋科学家和生态战士，Thys对工作的投入是有感染力的)”可知，Thys是乐于奉献并且对工作充满热情的。故选B。 Passage 2 （24-25高二下·辽宁·期末） On the last days of July, I moved to a flat in Brixton and joined those with a garden for the first time. Before moving, I lived in a flat surrounded by a small plot of woodland nearby. There were a good six weeks during which the dawn chorus was so loud that waking up at 5 am was a daily routine. Watching the birds became a soap opera I was deeply invested in. In Brixton, though, all I could hear was traffic. Although I knew clearly that cities are not strongholds of naturalism, and that nature is always there waiting for me to find it, it still took me a while to get used to the fact that I had to walk more than five minutes to find a green space. It was for this reason that I turned to gardening. I was not a formally trained gardener; I taught myself on a concrete balcony (阳台), four stories up on a hill in Camberwell in my mid-20s. The only garden I had was in my head, and the space I had when I started my career was used for parties, barbecues and playing with the neighbor’s cat. Filled with blind enthusiasm and curiosity, I picked up plants from supermarkets and flower markets and planted them on my balcony, often killing them out of love and then starting all over again. I often spent whole weekends in that small space. The balcony had a good view: one of London’s shining skylines beneath high skies that changed colour and cloud by the minute. But it was so small that you had to look closely and looking closely is an essential part of enjoying nature, wherever you find it. And to be out on the balcony allowed me to care about things that were bigger than my career, relationship or sense of self. When all three started to waver, it was gardening — and nature more broadly — that enabled me to find a new way of life. 1．Why does the author mention the morning chorus? A．To show that the woods were close to his flat. B．To highlight the activity of birds in the morning. C．To illustrate the joy and routine nature brings. D．To emphasize the loudness of the bird songs. 2．What drove the author to take up gardening? A．The need for a new hobby. B．The lack of green spaces in the new location. C．Formal training at the age of 20. D．Influences of other gardeners. 3．What does the author’s gardening experience show? A．Gardening requires formal education. B．The balcony is ideal for growing plants. C．The author has a natural talent for gardening. D．Small spaces can develop deep connections with nature. 4．What is the author’s attitude towards gardening? A．Enthusiastic. B．Discouraged. C．Skeptical. D．Indifferent. 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．D 4．A 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者从一个被自然环绕的居住环境搬到城市后，如何通过自学园艺在城市中重新找到与自然的联系，并从中获得心灵的慰藉和生活的意义的经历。 1．推理判断题。根据第二段“There were a good six weeks during which the dawn chorus was so loud that waking up at 5 am was a daily routine. Watching the birds became a soap opera I was deeply invested in.(在接下来的六个星期里，黎明的合唱如此响亮，以至于每天早上5点起床都是例行公事。观鸟成了我深深投入其中的一出肥皂剧)”可推断，作者从自然的声音和景象中找到了乐趣，并且这种乐趣已经成为他生活的一部分。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据第三段“…it still took me a while to get used to the fact that I had to walk more than five minutes to find a green space.(……我还是花了一段时间才适应我必须走五分钟多才能找到一块绿地的事实)”及第四段“It was for this reason that I turned to gardening. I was not a formally trained gardener(正是出于这个原因，我转向了园艺。我不是受过正规训练的园丁)”可知，作者的新住处周围缺乏绿色空间，这促使他做园艺。故选B。 3．推理判断题。根据第四段“I taught myself on a concrete balcony (阳台), four stories up on a hill in Camberwell in my mid-20s.(20多岁的时候，我在Camberwell一座山上四层楼的混凝土阳台上自学)”及第五段“The balcony had a good view: one of London’s shining skylines beneath high skies that changed colour and cloud by the minute. But it was so small that you had to look closely and looking closely is an essential part of enjoying nature…(从阳台上可以看到伦敦耀眼的天际线，天空每分钟都在改变颜色和云层。但它太小了，你必须近距离观察，而近距离观察是享受大自然的重要组成部分……)”可推断，作者在阳台开辟并享受这片绿地，让他与自然有了很深的连接。故选D。 4．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Filled with blind enthusiasm and curiosity, I picked up plants from supermarkets and flower markets and planted them on my balcony, often killing them out of love and then starting all over again.(带着盲目的热情和好奇心，我从超市和花市买了一些植物，把它们种在我的阳台上，常常因为喜欢而把它们弄死，然后再从头开始)”可知，作者在开始园艺时充满了热情和好奇心，即使因为过度呵护而把植物养死，也会重新开始。这表明作者对园艺有着极高的热情。故选A。 主题01 人与社会 Passage 1 （24-25高二下·吉林长春·期末） Where did we get this?” my wife asks me when she comes across a new-to-her item in our household. She already knows the answer: Either I bought it at a yard sale, or I found it on the street. Let’s say “rescued”, actually. Rescued it from the street. Items in that category include: the desk chair I'm sitting in, a much better potato masher than the one I broke, an ax with an intact (完好无损的) handle (unlike mine), silverware I keep in the car so we don’t use plastic stuff when we eat at the fish place, a banjo, and a didgeridoo. It is difficult to shame me about this. I feel both a moral and a financial impulse. Why should something go to a landfill if I have a use for it? Why should I pay top dollar for something if I can get one that's as good at low or no cost? I paid cash for a toy aircraft carrier. It was the most plastic I'd ever seen in one place: about 1.5 meters long,1 meter wide, and 0.76 meters tall. It was in pieces when I bought it. Our three boys were young then, and money was tight. I felt I could restore it to its epic glory. Sadly, I couldn’t find the parts. The boys quickly outgrew it, and I moved it along. It felt right to sell it for what I'd paid: four bucks. I spotted a rug (地毯) immediately at a yard sale. It looked new, and I didn’t have to talk myself into admiring the pattern. Twenty bucks. I couldn’t get the money out of my wallet fast enough. Not until I got it home and inside did I realize why the rug had been so inexpensive and yet still available. What was that smell? It was not a pet’s smell, but a chemical odor. I went online, and found that the glue used to attach the fibers to the backing was off-gassing VOCs (volatile organic compounds) and would do so far into the indeterminate future. I threw it out. Reusing is noble and economical. But if you decide to join me in this campaign, remember: Wake up and smell the carpet. 1．What lifestyle does the author like? A．Simple. B．Healthy. C．Sustainable. D．Independent. 2．As for the aircraft carrier, what is the author optimistic about? A．Recycling the most plastic from it. B．Returning it to its former grand state. C．Helping his boys complete the restoration. D．Making more money from the finished piece. 3．Why does the author tell the story of the rug? A．To ensure the practice of reusing. B．To stress the reward of reusing items. C．To highlight the caution in reusing items. D．To emphasize the importance of the web. 4．What might be the best title for the text? A．Why I reuse trash B．Where I recycle trash C．How I deal with waste D．What I learn from garbage 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．C 4．A 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。本文主要介绍了作者对于二手物品和街头弃物的回收利用的个人经历和看法。通过幽默和自省的笔触，传达了关于负责任地回收利用的深刻信息。 1．推理判断题。根据第三段“Why should something go to a landfill if I have a use for it? Why should I pay top dollar for something if I can get one that’s as good at low or no cost?(如果我能用得上某样东西，它为什么要被送到垃圾填埋场呢？如果我能以低价或免费得到一样同样好的东西，为什么要花高价去买呢？)”可知，作者喜欢重复利用物品，避免浪费，这种生活方式具有可持续性。故选C项。 2．细节理解题。根据第四段“I felt I could restore it to its epic glory.(我觉得我能把它恢复到史诗般的辉煌。)”可知，对于玩具航空母舰，作者乐观地认为自己能将其恢复到以前的壮观状态。故选B项。 3．推理判断题。根据第六段“Not until I got it home and inside did I realize why the rug had been so inexpensive and yet still available. What was that smell? It was not a pet’s smell, but a chemical odor. I went online, and found that the glue used to attach the fibers to the backing was off-gassing VOCs (volatile organic compounds) and would do so far into the indeterminate future. I threw it out.(直到我把它带回家，我才明白为什么地毯这么便宜，却还能买到。那是什么味道？这不是宠物的气味，而是一种化学气味。我上网查了一下，发现用来把纤维粘在椅背上的胶水会释放出挥发性有机化合物（VOCs，挥发性有机化合物），而且这种情况还会持续到不确定的未来。我把它扔了。)”可知，作者买的地毯因胶水释放有害挥发性有机化合物而被丢弃，再结合最后一段“But if you decide to join me in this campaign, remember: Wake up and smell the carpet.(但如果你决定加入我的行动，记住：要警醒，留意地毯的问题。)”可知，作者讲述地毯的故事是为了强调重复利用物品时要谨慎。故选C项。 4．主旨大意题。通读全文，作者围绕自己重复利用从旧货出售或街上“拯救”来的物品展开，解释了这样做的原因，也提及了其中的注意事项。第一段“Either I bought it at a yard sale, or I found it on the street. Let’s say “rescued”, (要么是我在庭院旧货出售中买的，要么是在街上捡到的。让我们说“获救”，)”以及第三段说明了作者重复利用物品的原因，因此A项Why I reuse trash(我为什么重复利用废弃物) 最能概括文章主旨，适合用作标题。故选A项。 Passage 2 （24-25高二下·黑龙江·期末） Some years ago, I had a friend who got into trouble on the internet. He was writing a book that showed a strong opinion on a controversial topic and had been talking about it on social media. He didn’t have a large following, but activists who opposed his view of the issue began to notice and decided that he needed punishing for wrongthink. Their anger about his work spread the conversation to people who anonymously (匿名地) and deliberately seek to upset others and start fights online — and one thing led to another, some of them began to abuse my friend harshly. “People are telling me to kill myself!” he told me, with desperation in his voice. He started worrying about being doxed. “Do I need private security? Maybe I should move.” Out of curiosity, I asked my friend how much time he was then spending on social media, monitoring all the abuse. “Pretty much all day,” he said. This made sense to him because he felt the severity of the situation demanded his full attention: A threat’s a threat, right? I made one simple suggestion: Delete the apps and stop interacting with social media for a week. He took my advice reluctantly, but over the next few days, he stopped thinking about the trouble so much. By the time he reopened the apps, he found those mean guys had largely moved on to new victims and targets. What my friend learned was that this annoyance, which had seemed very real to him, could be erased almost completely by using two powerful weapons: ______. What works in our internet-based culture can apply equally well to other areas of modern life. Take again this friend of mine for example. After that incident, he started thinking: Were there other areas of his life where the two weapons could work. After getting informed about alcohol use, he changed his perception of drinking and avoided engaging with the substance. He also decided to reevaluate what had been his favorite news organization; he then saw it in a much more questioning light, so he withdrew his attention by unsubscribing. 1．What did those opponents of the author’s friend do? A．They showed a strong opposition against the controversial topic. B．They angrily and publicly opposed that friend’s argument. C．They deliberately and secretly triggered online fights. D．They resorted to merciless bullying of that friend. 2．Which of the following may be an act of “doxing” (Paragraph 2)? A．calling someone names B．revealing one’s phone number C．visiting someone personally D．making up some stories 3．What did that targeted man do to survive the attacks? A．He talked with his friends. B．He moved house immediately. C．He ignored the abuse temporarily. D．He opened the app once every week. 4．What might be the weapons mentioned in the last paragraph? A．perception and attention B．friendship and ignorance C．refusal and departure D．disengagement and evaluation 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．C 4．D 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。作者朋友因在社交媒体发表争议观点遭匿名者欺凌，整日关注辱骂信息。作者建议其删除应用，一周后骚扰者转移目标。朋友领悟到应对网络骚扰的武器是“脱离互动”与“自我评估”，并将此方法应用于生活其他方面，如重新审视饮酒和新闻订阅。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段“Their anger about his work spread the conversation to people who anonymously (匿名地) and deliberately seek to upset others and start fights online — and one thing led to another, some of them began to abuse my friend harshly. “People are telling me to kill myself!” he told me, with desperation in his voice.(他们对他的行为的愤怒情绪将话题引向了那些匿名且蓄意在网上挑起事端、制造冲突的人群当中——由此引发了一系列事件，其中一些人开始对我朋友进行严厉的辱骂。“人们都在叫我自杀！”他带着绝望的语气对我说道)”可知，那些反对作者朋友的人对那位朋友进行了残酷的欺凌。故选D。 2．推理判断题。根据第二段““People are telling me to kill myself!” he told me, with desperation in his voice.(“人们都在叫我自杀！”他带着绝望的语气对我说道)”可知，朋友收到了让他自杀的信息，故doxing涉及隐私泄露导致安全威胁，如泄露电话号码等个人信息，故公开自己的电话号码可能是“曝光个人信息”的行为。故选B。 3．细节理解题。根据第三段“I made one simple suggestion: Delete the apps and stop interacting with social media for a week. He took my advice reluctantly, but over the next few days, he stopped thinking about the trouble so much. By the time he reopened the apps, he found those mean guys had largely moved on to new victims and targets.(我提出了一个简单的建议：删除所有应用程序，并停止使用社交媒体一周。他很不情愿地接受了我的建议，但在接下来的几天里，他不再那么在意那些麻烦事了。等到他重新打开这些应用程序时，他发现那些恶毒的人大多已经转向了新的受害者和目标)”可知，那个被攻击的人暂时没有理会那些辱骂的话。故选C。 4．推理判断题。根据第三段“I made one simple suggestion: Delete the apps and stop interacting with social media for a week.(我提出了一个简单的建议：删除所有应用程序，并停止使用社交媒体一周)”以及最后一段“After getting informed about alcohol use, he changed his perception of drinking and avoided engaging with the substance. He also decided to reevaluate what had been his favorite news organization; he then saw it in a much more questioning light, so he withdrew his attention by unsubscribing.(在得知有关饮酒的信息后，他改变了对饮酒的看法，并且不再接触这种行为。他还决定重新审视自己曾经最喜爱的新闻机构；之后他从一个更具质疑性的角度看待它，于是便不再关注它，于是取消了订阅)”可知，最后一段提到的“two powerful weapons”对应前文“停止使用社交媒体”（disengagement，脱离）和后文 “重新评估新闻机构并退订”（evaluation，评估）。故选D。 Passage 3 （24-25高二下·黑龙江大庆·期末） Adams Cassinga has had many identities: refugee (难民), journalist, mining consultant And now, defender of wildlife. As a child, he was fascinated by animals — gorillas living in the forests outside his hometown of Bukavu in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) -but his path to conservation was winding. His father, who feared Adams would be taken as a child soldier, sent him to South Africa. In Johannesburg, Adams learnt to survive on the streets while teaching himself English in public libraries. After he was granted official refugee status, he studied journalism and landed his first job working for a local newspaper. While working as an investigative reporter in 2016. Adams was shot three times! Adams changed career paths again, this time to work in the profitable mining industry in South Africa. In this role, he returned years later to the DRC to visit gold mines. One day, while flying to a gold mine in northeastern Congo, Adams saw the wounds of mining operations on the lush forest landscape. He began to think about the beauty of his country’s wild places and the struggle to protect them. After volunteering as an honorary range (护林人), Adams took his wildlife mission one big step further, founding Conserv Congo in 2020. Conserv Congo fights illegal hunting and trafficking (非法交易) through undercover investigations in pursuit of criminals in the illegal wildlife trade. With a team of volunteers including police officers, politicians and students, Adams steals into trafficking networks and conducts organized traps with the authorities Adams places great value in winning over the hearts and minds of the police officers he works with. “They need to understand the reason behind what we do. We have to transform them into nature lovers. They can only protect what they know and love,” he says. It also partners with multiple national parks, helping to prevent illegal hunting, training volunteers to patrol the parks with rangers, and buying uniforms and other supplies for rangers.

In Johannesburg, Adams learnt to survive on the streets while teaching himself English in public libraries. (他的父亲担心Adams会被抓去当童子军，于是把他送到了南非。在约翰内斯堡，Adams学会了在街头求生，同时还在公共图书馆自学英语。)”可知，Adams到了南非后，在约翰内斯堡，他一边在街头求生，一边在公共图书馆自学英语。由此可知，他到了南非后面临语言障碍，需要学习英语。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据文章第三段“One day, while flying to a gold mine in northeastern Congo, Adams saw the wounds of mining operations on the lush forest landscape. He began to think about the beauty of his country’s wild places and the struggle to protect them. After volunteering as an honorary range (护林人), Adams took his wildlife mission one big step further, founding Conserv Congo in 2020.(有一天，在飞往刚果东北部一座金矿的途中，Adams看到了茂密的森林景观因采矿作业而满目疮痍。他开始思考自己国家那些野生地区的美丽，以及保护它们所面临的艰难。在志愿成为一名荣誉护林人之后，Adams在保护野生动物的使命上又迈出了一大步，于 2020 年创立了Conserv Congo。)”可知，Adams在飞往刚果东北部一座金矿的途中，看到了茂密的森林景观因采矿作业而满目疮痍，这让他开始思考自己国家野生地区的美丽以及保护它们的艰难，之后他投身于保护野生动物的事业。由此可知，促使Adams开始走上保护之路的是采矿造成的森林破坏。故选D。 3．细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“Adams places great value in winning over the hearts and minds of the police officers he works with. “They need to understand the reason behind what we do. We have to transform them into nature lovers. They can only protect what they know and love,” he says.( Adams非常重视赢得与他合作的警察们的支持。“他们需要理解我们行动背后的原因。我们必须把他们变成热爱自然的人。他们只有了解并热爱自然，才能去保护自然。”他说道。)”可知，Adams非常重视赢得与他合作的警察们的支持，旨在改变警察对自然的态度，因为警察们只有了解并热爱自然，才能去保护自然。故选D。 4．推理判断题。根据文章可知，Adams不断尝试不同的职业，从难民、记者、矿业顾问到野生动物保护者，在每个阶段都积极行动。在做调查记者时面临危险，之后投身矿业，又因看到森林被破坏而积极投身于野生动物保护事业，创立“Conserv Congo”并积极开展各种保护活动，这体现了他很积极。在根据文章第三段“Conserv Congo fights illegal hunting and trafficking (非法交易) through undercover investigations in pursuit of criminals in the illegal wildlife trade. With a team of volunteers including police officers, politicians and students, Adams steals into trafficking networks and conducts organized traps with the authorities(Conserv Congo通过秘密调查打击非法狩猎和非法野生动物交易活动，追捕参与非法野生动物贸易的犯罪分子。Adams带领着一支由警察、政治家和学生等志愿者组成的团队，潜入非法交易网络，并与当局一起精心布置抓捕行动。)”可知，Adams创立组织打击非法狩猎和非法交易，与警察、多个国家公园等合作，处理大量刑事案件，营救被贩卖动物，查获非法物品等，为保护野生动物付出了很多努力，坚持不懈地致力于保护工作，这充分体现了他的坚定投入。故选B。 Passage 4 （24-25高二下·黑龙江佳木斯·期末） In 1990, Hal Donaldson was 23 years old, fresh out of college and found himself in Calcutta, India, where he was asked to interview Mother Teresa. Donaldson says about the great woman famed for feeding the hungry, “She wasn’t wearing shoes and her ankles were swollen (肿的). She sat down with me and was very polite. ”After the interview, Mother Teresa asked him, “What are you doing to help the poor?” Donaldson admitted that he was young and wasn’t focused on helping others. With a smile on her face, Mother Teresa said, “Everyone can do something.” Those words deeply struck Donaldson and forced him to face some hard truths about himself. Hal Donaldson grew up in the San Francisco Bay area. When he was 12 years old, his parents were hit by a drunk driver; his father died, and his mother was seriously injured. To make ends met, they went on welfare. Donaldson says, “I had holes in my shoes and clothes. When you’re teased at school for that, you just want to escape.” He managed to do just that. Donaldson got into college and turned his focus to making money for himself. He says, “I was just trying to find my way out of insignificance. However, it’s easy to overlook others along the way. I was the guy that would see a homeless person and cross the street; so I didn’t have to confront (面对) him. My focus was on climbing to the top instead of helping those trying to climb with me.” Donaldson returned home from India with a different thought. He traveled to eight cities in America and stayed on the streets and listened to stories of the homeless. “My heart broke,” he says. “I knew I could no longer just live for myself.” Inspired by Mother Teresa’s words and the stories he’d heard across America, Donaldson loaded a pick-up truck with $300 worth of groceries and handed them out to anyone who needed help. In1994, Donaldson created the nonprofit organization, Convoy for Hope, which works with communities across America and around the world. Their work focuses on feeding children, women’s empowerment, helping farmers and disaster services. 1．What did 23-year-old Hal Donaldson do in India? A．He interviewed Mother Teresa. B．He fed the hungry with Mother Teresa, C．He attended an interview for a college. D．He did something to help the poor. 2．What can we learn about Hal Donaldson from paragraph 4? A．He was born with disability. B．He led a hard life as a child. C．He was well treated at school D．He survived as a parentless boy. 3．How does Hal Donaldson describe himself in college? A．Self-centered. B．Sympathetic. C．Popular. D．Casual. 4．How did Hal Donaldson change after he returned home from India? A．He preferred traveling to volunteering. B．He suddenly fell in love with journalism. C．He turned his focus to living for himself. D．He gradually devoted himself to helping others. 【答案】1．A 2．B 3．A 4．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了从小生活艰苦的哈尔·唐纳森在努力改变现状的时候忽略了周围同样需要帮助的人，而跟特蕾莎修女的一次谈话触动了他，他开始关注那些需要帮助的人。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段“In 1990, Hal Donaldson was 23 years old, fresh out of college and found himself in Calcutta, India, where he was asked to interview Mother Teresa.(1990年，哈尔·唐纳森23岁，大学刚毕业，来到印度加尔各答，在那里他被要求采访特蕾莎修女。)”可知，他在印度加尔各答采访了特蕾莎修女。故选A。 2．推理判断题。根据第四段中的“When he was 12 years old, his parents were hit by a drunk driver; his father died, and his mother was seriously injured. To make ends met, they went on welfare. Donaldson says, “I had holes in my shoes and clothes. When you’re teased at school for that, you just want to escape.”(12岁时，他的父母被一名醉酒司机撞倒；他的父亲去世了，母亲受了重伤。为了维持生计，他们靠福利生活。唐纳森说：“我的鞋子和衣服上都有洞。当你在学校被嘲笑时，你只想逃跑。”)”可知，父亲出车祸去世后，他和母亲依靠福利生活，他的鞋子和衣服上都有洞，在学习被人嘲笑，由此可推测出，他小时候生活艰难。故选B。 3．推理判断题。根据第五段中唐纳森的话“I was just trying to find my way out of insignificance. However, it’s easy to overlook others along the way. I was the guy that would see a homeless person and cross the street; so I didn’t have to confront(面对) him. My focus was on climbing to the top instead of helping those trying to climb with me.(我只是想找到一条摆脱卑微的路。然而，一路上很容易忽视别人。我是那种会看到一个无家可归的人就会过街道的人；所以我不必面对他。我关注的是爬到顶端，而不是帮助那些想和我一起爬的人。)”可知，他只想摆脱卑微，努力提高自己，所以会自动忽视其他需要帮助的人，由此可推测出，他是一个以自我为中心的人。故选A。 4．推理判断题。根据第六段中的“Donaldson returned home from India with a different thought. He traveled to eight cities in America and stayed on the streets and listened to stories of the homeless.(唐纳森从印度回到家，有了不同的想法。他游历了美国的八个城市，在街头逗留，聆听无家可归者的故事。)”和最后一段“Inspired by Mother Teresa’s words and the stories he’d heard across America, Donaldson loaded a pick-up truck with $300 worth of groceries and handed them out to anyone who needed help. In1994, Donaldson created the nonprofit organization, Convoy for Hope, which works with communities across America and around the world. Their work focuses on feeding children, women’s empowerment, helping farmers and disaster services.(受到特蕾莎修女的话和他在美国各地听到的故事的启发，唐纳森把价值300美元的食品杂货装上一辆皮卡车，分发给任何需要帮助的人。1994年，唐纳森创建了非营利组织“希望车队”，与美国和世界各地的社区合作。他们的工作重点是给儿童提供食物、增强妇女权能、帮助农民和灾害服务。)”可推知，他从印度回来后，开始逐渐投入到帮助他人的事业中。故选D 主题02 人与自我 Passage 1 （24-25高二下辽宁沈阳·期末） Eppie’s cheeks were flushed with distress. “Thank you, sir and madam. But I can’t leave my father.” Eppie went back to Silas’s chair, and put an arm round his neck, brushing the tears from her eyes. Godfrey was extremely annoyed. He wanted to do what he thought was his duty. And adopting Eppie would make him feel much less guilty about his past. “But, Eppie, you must agree,” he cried. “You are my daughter! Silas Marner, you know, Eppie’s mother was my wife and she is my own child.” Eppie’s face went white. Silas, who had been relieved by hearing Eppie’s answer to Godfrey, now answered bitterly, “Then, sir, why didn’t you confess this sixteen years ago, before I began to love her? Why do you come to take her away now, when it’s like taking the heart out of my body? God gave her to me because you abandoned her! And He considers her mine!” “I think, Marner,” he said firmly, “that you should consider what’s best for Eppie. You shouldn’t stand in her way when she could have a better life.” Silas was silent for a moment. He was worried that perhaps Godfrey was right, and that it was selfish of him to keep Eppie. At last he brought out the difficult words. “All right. Speak to the child. I won't prevent her from going.” Godfrey and his wife were relieved to hear this, and thought Eppie would now agree. “Eppie, my dear,” said Godfrey, “although I haven’t been a good father to you so far, I want to do my best for you now.” But Eppie did not come forward this time. She stood by Silas’s side, holding his hand in hers, and spoke almost coldly. “Thank you for your kind offer. But I wouldn’t be happy if I left father. He’d have nobody if I weren’t here. Nobody shall ever come between him and me!” “But you must make sure, Eppie,” said Silas worriedly, “that you won't be sorry, if you decide to stay with poor people. You could have a much better life.” “I’ll never be sorry,” said Eppie firmly. “I don’t want to be rich, if I can’t live with the people I know and love.” 1．Why did Godfrey want to claim Eppie back? A．To please his present wife. B．To repair his public reputation. C．To ease his sense of guilt. D．To make things easier for Silas. 2．How did Silas feel according to paragraph 3? A．Annoyed. B．Relieved. C．Surprised. D．Confused. 3．What made Silas finally let Eppie make her own decision? A．Pressure from Godfrey. B．His deep love for her. C．Fear of legal consequences. D．His desire for moral superiority. 4．What values does Eppie’s decision mirror? A．Putting personal freedom first. B．Living up to family expectations. C．Focusing on material comforts. D．Valuing emotional bonds over wealth. 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．B 4．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Godfrey想认回Eppie，但Eppie选择留在养父Silas身边的故事。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段中“And adopting Eppie would make him feel much less guilty about his past.(收养埃皮会让他对自己的过去少一些内疚感)”可知，Godfrey想要认回Eppie是为了减轻他的内疚感。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据第三段中“Silas, who had been relieved by hearing Eppie’s answer to Godfrey, now answered bitterly, “Then, sir, why didn’t you confess this sixteen years ago, before I began to love her? Why do you come to take her away now, when it’s like taking the heart out of my body? God gave her to me because you abandoned her! And He considers her mine!”(西拉斯听了埃皮对戈弗雷的回答后松了一口气，现在却愤怒地回答道：“那么，先生，你为什么不在十六年前，在我开始爱她之前承认这一点呢？你为什么现在来把她带走，这就像把我的心从身体里掏出来一样？上帝把她给了我，因为你抛弃了她！上帝认为她是我的！”)”可推知，Silas此时很生气。故选A。 3．推理判断题。根据第五段“Silas was silent for a moment. He was worried that perhaps Godfrey was right, and that it was selfish of him to keep Eppie. At last he brought out the difficult words. “All right. Speak to the child. I won't prevent her from going.”(西拉斯沉默了一会儿。他担心也许戈弗雷是对的，他留住埃皮是自私的。最后，他艰难地说出了这些话。“好吧。和孩子谈谈。我不会阻止她离开的。”)”可知，Silas是因为深爱着埃皮，担心自己因为爱她而留住她对Eppie不好，所以才让埃皮自己做决定，是他对埃皮深深的爱让他这样做。故选B。 4．推理判断题。根据最后一段““I’ll never be sorry,” said Eppie firmly. “I don’t want to be rich, if I can’t live with the people I know and love.”(“我永远不会后悔，”埃皮坚定地说。“如果我不能和我认识和爱的人生活在一起，我就不想变得富有。”)”可推知，Eppie的决定反映了她重视情感联系胜过财富的价值观。故选D。 Passage 2 （24-25高二下·吉林·期末） High school ended and all I remembered was feeling stuck. Most of my peers (同龄人) had picked out their majors and some even planned their careers. But I was still wondering about that. I’ve always enjoyed writing but didn’t know how to make a career out of it. After researching my options, such as journalism, I thought Professional Communications could improve my writing skills and lead me to a career in business. With that, I sent in my application, was accepted and started preparing for my first term of university. When course intentions rolled around, I began looking at the list of minors. Marketing caught my attention. It would complement (补充) my communications degree while providing me with the necessary business courses that were outside of the program. Without hesitation, I scheduled marketing into my studies, with the goal of using that newfound knowledge to accompany the technical skills that my major would provide me with. My school year began in a pretty typical way: the orientation week (迎新周), joining clubs and meeting new people. As time went on, I found myself enjoying the marketing courses more than the communications courses, and it was then that I first began to consider making a change. Finally, I spoke with a friend who had switched to a different major, and his words of encouragement were the final push I needed to go through with the decision. A few days later, I sent in my application, and soon I received my acceptance letter. I’ve now been gifted with a wonderful start to the year, and I couldn’t be happier about making the change. I feel less pressured to “find myself” and can put 110% effort into my studies. A note to high school students: University brings with it a load of new beginnings and self-reflection. It’s perfectly fine to come into university thinking you want one thing and finding out along the way that it might not be the right path for you. 1．Why was the author at a loss after high school? A．She suffered from a lack of confidence. B．She fell behind her peers in performance. C．She was afraid to choose a wrong university. D．She struggled to decide a future direction. 2．Which aspect of marketing attracted the author? A．Its business courses. B．Its exciting career opportunities. C．Its stress on technical skills. D．Its courses related to writing. 3．What led the author to think about changing her major? A．The active encouragement from a friend. B．Reduced interest in communications. C．The growing passion for marketing courses. D．Access to numerous new opportunities. 4．What does the author advise high school students to do? A．Think twice about major selection. B．Be open to changing academic paths. C．Concentrate all their efforts on study. D．Engage in self-reflection consistently. 【答案】1．D 2．A 3．C 4．B 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者在高中毕业后选专业和大学期间更换专业的心路历程。作者通过自身经历告诉读者，大学不仅是学术学习场所，更是个人探索和自我发现的舞台，鼓励学生在大学期间探索和发现适合自己的道路。 1． 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“High school ended and all I remembered was feeling stuck. Most of my peers (同龄人) had picked out their majors and some even planned their careers. But I was still wondering about that. (高中结束了，我只记得被困住了。我的大多数同龄人都选择了自己的专业，有些人甚至计划了自己的职业生涯。但我仍对此感到疑惑。)”可知，作者在高中毕业后感到迷茫主要是因为她在确定未来方向上遇到了难题。故选D项。 2．推理判断题。根据第三段中的“It would complement (补充) my communications degree while providing me with the necessary business courses that were outside of the program. Without hesitation, I scheduled marketing into my studies, with the goal of using that newfound knowledge to accompany the technical skills that my major would provide me with. (它将补充我的沟通学位，同时为我提供课程之外的必要商业课程。我毫不犹豫地将市场营销纳入我的学习计划，目的是利用新学到的知识来配合我的专业将为我提供的技术技能。)”可知，作者认为市场营销能够作为她传播学学位的补充，同时也能提供课程之外的必要的商业知识，也就是说市场营销对作者的吸引力主要在于它的商业课程。故选A项。 3．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“As time went on, I found myself enjoying the marketing courses more than the communications courses, and it was then that I first began to consider making a change. (随着时间的推移，我发现自己更喜欢营销课程而不是沟通课程，就在那时，我第一次开始考虑做出改变。)”可知，作者在大学期间发现自己更喜欢营销课程，而不是最初选择的传播学课程，这促使作者考虑转专业。故选C项。 4．推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“It’s perfectly fine to come into university thinking you want one thing and finding out along the way that it might not be the right path for you. (进入大学时，你认为自己想要一件事，但一路上发现这可能不是你的正确选择，这是完全可以的。)”以及结合作者转专业的经历及其对待转专业的态度“I couldn’t be happier about making the change (做出改变，我高兴极了)”可推断，作者建议高中生对在大学中改变初衷或者改变学术道路（转专业）持开放态度。故选B项。 / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
