Young Padma would spend most of her evening after school in the fields, learning the art of organic farming. After moving to the city, she began missing the farm. Faced with the limited space, Padma felt the absence of fresh vegetables. Besides, she was disappointed with the taste and quality of shop-bought vegetables. Because chemicals used on vegetables were harmful to human health, she finally decided to take matters into her own hands and change her yard into a vegetable garden. Now 48, Padma has devoted the past 12 years to developing a garden with 200 plants of 20 varieties of vegetables. She relies on natural fertilizers (肥料). Additionally, she uses creative organic farming methods like preparing liquid fertilizers from fish. Her husband Suresh Ettan, who is now working in an oil and gas company, said, “As I don’t eat meat, I have limited food choices in the city. Now every morning, my wife sends me a good breakfast. Apart from that, she also shares the photos of her day’s harvest. I take pride in showing those photos to my colleagues.” For Padma, the garden has become a source of joy and also a link to her rural roots. Padma says she finds connection to her village through the traditional recipes and taste of homegrown vegetables. More importantly, by growing her own food, the gardener has not only found a way to provide a supply of organic vegetables to her family but also a way to earn some money. Earning money was what she didn’t expect. Padma says she has a small shop where she sells extra vegetables. Within an hour, all her vegetables are sold out. This organic farming business earns her up to Rs 1,000. 1．When did Padma develop her love for organic farming? A．After she moved to the city. B．When she helped on the farm. C．After she graduated from school. D．When she lacked fresh vegetables. 2．Which words can best describe Padma? A．Warm-hearted and confident. B．Generous and gifted. C．Creative and hard-working. D．Responsible and organized. 3．How does Suresh Ettan feel about his wife’s farm? A．The farm makes his life busy. B．The farm offers him rich food. C．The farm costs lots of his money. D．The farm prevents him eating meat. 4．What unexpected benefit has been brought to Padma? A．Some additional income. B．Good neighbour relationship. C．Fresh vegetables for her family. D．A connection with her hometown. 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．B 4．A 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Padma Suresh从小热爱有机农业，搬到城市后对农场生活充满怀念，于是将自家院子改造成菜园，不仅为家人提供有机蔬菜，还意外获得了额外收入的故事。 1．细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Raised on the farm, Padma Suresh had a love for agriculture just like her father. Young Padma would spend most of her evening after school in the fields, learning the art of organic farming.(Padma Suresh在农场长大，和她父亲一样热爱农业。年轻的Padma会在放学后的大部分晚上在田野里度过，学习有机农业的艺术)”可知，Padma在农场帮忙时就培养了对有机农业的热爱。故选B。 2．推理判断题。根据文章第三段提到“Now 48, Padma has devoted the past 12 years to developing a garden with 200 plants of 20 varieties of vegetables. She relies on natural fertilizers. Additionally, she uses creative organic farming methods like preparing liquid fertilizers from fish.(现年48岁的Padma在过去的12年里一直致力于开发一个拥有200株20种蔬菜的花园。她依靠天然肥料。此外，她还使用创造性的有机耕作方法，如用鱼制作液体肥料)”可知，Padma不仅勤奋地经营着自己的菜园，还有创造力地运用各种有机耕作方法。由此可知，最能描述Padma的词语是有创造力的和勤奋的。故选C。 3．推理判断题。根据文章第四段“As I don’t eat meat, I have limited food choices in the city. Now every morning, my wife sends me a good breakfast. Apart from that, she also shares the photos of her day’s harvest.(因为我不吃肉，所以我在城市里的食物选择很有限。现在每天早上，我妻子都会给我送一顿丰盛的早餐。除此之外，她还会分享她当天收获的照片)”可推知，Suresh Ettan认为他妻子的农场为他提供了丰富的食物。故选B。 4．细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“More importantly, by growing her own food, the gardener has not only found a way to provide a supply of organic vegetables to her family but also a way to earn some money. Earning money was what she didn’t expect.(更重要的是，通过自己种植食物，这位园丁不仅找到了一种为家人提供有机蔬菜的方法，而且还找到了一种赚钱的方法。赚钱是她没有预料到的)”可知，Padma获得的意想不到的好处是一些额外的收入。故选A。 Passage 2 （2025高二下·云南红河·期末） Mariangela Hungria, a microbiologist in Brazil, spent decades looking for bacteria (细菌) in the soil that could act like fertilizer (肥料), boosting farmers' harvests. But she faced a lot of skepticism. When she started her career, everybody was like, “She is crazy! She will never succeed. ” But today, her work was rewarded with the World Food Prize, which recognizes advances in agriculture. Hungria's love of science was lit in childhood thanks to her grandmother, who taught her about backyard plants and the soil that fed them. “One day, she gave me a book. It was about the life of microbiologists. After reading it, I announced to my family that I would become a microbiologist, ” Hungria recalls. Later, she got her Ph. D．from the Federal Rural University and went to work for the Brazilian Agricultural Research Corporation (Embrapa) in 1982. She followed in the footsteps of another pioneer of Brazilian science, Johanna Döbereiner, who had begun hunting for bacteria that could boost the productivity of crops. Hungria's biological seed and soil treatments enable wheat, corn and other major crops, including soybeans — Brazil's top agricultural export — to source nutrients through soil bacteria, significantly boosting crop yields (产量), reducing the need for chemical fertilizers as well as lowering greenhouse gas emissions (排放). Over Hungria's 40-year career with Embrapa, Brazil's soybean production has increased from 15 million tons in 1979 to an anticipated 173million tons in the coming harvest, the World Food Prize Foundation said. Hungria said, “I always believe that it is possible to achieve high yields necessary to relieve world hunger, but in a sustainable way, preserving the planet. ” She wants to see women taking a bigger role. “Women are more likely to shift the focus of farming toward environmental sustainability. Caring for land that's already been claimed rather than trying to clear more. Focusing not only on the size of the harvest but also on which crops deliver better nutrition”, says she. And Hungria adds she'll use the cash she has won to fund a new award that will recognize women who are working in agriculture, microbiology, communications or for the benefit of people with special needs. 5．What does the underlined word “skepticism” in paragraph 1 mean? A．Doubt. B．Envy. C．Blame. D．Abuse. 6．What inspired Hungria to be a microbiologist? A．Her academic experience. B．Work in Embrapa. C．Her grandmother's impact. D．Guidance from Johanna. 7．What function do Hungria's biological treatments have? A．Decreasing the productivity of soybeans. B．Generating more greenhouse gas emissions. C．Increasing farmers' dependence on chemicals. D．Boosting nutrients uptake through soil bacteria. 8．What can be inferred from Hungria's words? A．Ecological health outweighs maximum yields. B．Funding new awards for women is meaningless. C．Sustainable practices will lead to lower harvests. D．Involving women in farming makes a difference. 【答案】5．A 6．C 7．D 8．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了巴西微生物学家Mariangela Hungria的故事。她花费数十年在土壤中寻找能像肥料一样促进农民收成的细菌，一开始面临诸多怀疑，但如今她的工作获得了世界粮食奖。 5．词句猜测题。根据下文“When she started her career, everybody was like, “She is crazy! She will never succeed. ” (当她开始她的职业生涯时，每个人都说：“她疯了！她永远不会成功。” )”可以推断出她面临很多人的怀疑。所以skepticism意为“怀疑”，和A选项同义，故选A。 6．细节理解题。根据第二段“Hungria's love of science was lit in childhood thanks to her grandmother, who taught her about backyard plants and the soil that fed them. “One day, she gave me a book. It was about the life of microbiologists. After reading it, I announced to my family that I would become a microbiologist, ” Hungria recalls. (Hungria对科学的热爱在她的童年时代就被点燃了，这要归功于她的祖母，她教会了她关于后院植物和喂养它们的土壤的知识。一天，她给了我一本书。它是关于微生物学家的生活。读完这本书后，我向家人宣布，我将成为一名微生物学家，”Hungria回忆道。)”由此可知是她祖母的影响激励她成为微生物学家，故选C。 7．细节理解题。根据第三段“Hungria's biological seed and soil treatments enable wheat, corn and other major crops, including soybeans — Brazil's top agricultural export — to source nutrients through soil bacteria, significantly boosting crop yields (产量), reducing the need for chemical fertilizers as well as lowering greenhouse gas emissions (排放). (Hungria的生物种子和土壤处理使小麦、玉米和其他主要作物，包括巴西最大的农业出口产品大豆，能够通过土壤细菌获取养分，从而显著提高作物产量，减少对化肥的需求，并降低温室气体排放。)”可知Hungria的生物疗法通过土壤细菌促进养分吸收，故选D。 8．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Hungria said, “I always believe that it is possible to achieve high yields necessary to relieve world hunger, but in a sustainable way, preserving the planet. ” She wants to see women taking a bigger role. “Women are more likely to shift the focus of farming toward environmental sustainability. Caring for land that's already been claimed rather than trying to clear more. Focusing not only on the size of the harvest but also on which crops deliver better nutrition”, says she. (Hungria说：“我一直相信，有可能通过可持续的方式实现缓解世界饥饿所需的高产量，保护地球。”她希望看到女性发挥更大的作用。“女性更有可能将农业的重点转向环境可持续性。关心已经有人认领的土地，而不是试图开垦更多的土地。不仅要关注收成的大小，还要关注哪些作物提供更好的营养。”她说。)”由此可以推断出让女性参与农业会产生影响，故选D。 主题02 人与社会 Passage 3 （2025高二下·云南玉溪·期末） Just three months before her 50th birthday, legendary gymnast Oksana Chusovitina proved once again that age is just a number. The eight-time Olympian from Uzbekistan earned gold in vault (跳马) at the World Cup in Baku on March 8. Chusovitina shared her joy on social media, “For the first time this year, I successfully performed the Tsukahara vault (冢原跳) with a difficulty score of 4.8 in competition. I am very glad with my performance.” Her victory in Baku marks another milestone in her remarkable career. On Feb. 19, she announced her return to competition to qualify for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. She made her comeback at the Cottbus World Cup in Germany in February, where she harvested a bronze medal in vault. Now, with a gold medal in Baku, Chusovitina demonstrates she remains in excellent form. Chusovitina’s career in gymnastics spans decades. At 17, she won a team gold medal at the 1992 Barcelona Olympics on behalf of the Soviet Union. In 2002, her son was diagnosed with leukemia (白血病). She adopted German citizenship to compete at global events for a higher income and better medical treatment. Her heartfelt words, “I dare not grow old until you are well,” touched many. She later represented Germany at the 2008 Beijing Olympics and she won a silver medal in vault, securing Germany’s first Olympic gymnastics silver in 62 years. After her son’s recovery, Chusovitina continued her gymnastics journey out of love for the sport. “The biggest motivation is my desire. I want to perform. I love gymnastics, and this profession brings me great joy,” she said. Her drive to compete at 53 challenges the idea that gymnastics is only for young athletes. Her motivation extends beyond personal ambition. It’s about shifting the story around age in gymnastics. 9．How many years does Chusovitina’s career in gymnastics span? A．More than 30 years. B．Exactly 30 years. C．About 28 years. D．Around 25 years. 10．Why did Chusovitina adopt German citizenship in 2002? A．To get better medical treatment for herself. B．To prove her determination and ability to win. C．To compete in global competitions with a higher income. D．To realize her dream of fighting against gender prejudice. 11．Which of the following can best describe Chusovitina? A．Passionate and strong-willed. B．Adventurous and free-spirited. C．Athletic and smooth-talking. D．Intelligent and hard-working. 12．What can we learn from the last two paragraphs? A．Chusovitina loves her son more than her career in gymnastics. B．Gymnastics pushes the boundary of human body to a new line. C．Gymnastics brings Chusovitina great fame and huge material wealth. D．Chusovitina challenges the fixed view on age in gymnastics successfully. 【答案】9．A 10．C 11．A 12．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了传奇体操运动员奥克萨娜·丘索维金娜的故事。她在50岁生日前三个月再次证明年龄不是阻碍，在巴库世界杯跳马项目中获得金牌。她的体操生涯跨越数十年，为给儿子治病曾加入德国国籍，儿子康复后因热爱体操继续参赛，她用行动挑战了体操仅属于年轻运动员的固有观念。 【详解】9．细节理解题。根据第四段“At 17, she won a team gold medal at the 1992 Barcelona Olympics on behalf of the Soviet Union.(1992年，17岁的她代表苏联在巴塞罗那奥运会上获得团体金牌)”以及第一段“Just three months before her 50th birthday(就在她50岁生日前三个月)”可知，从1992年到她将近50岁，时间跨度超过30年。故选A。 10．细节理解题。根据第四段“In 2002, her son was diagnosed with leukemia (白血病). She adopted German citizenship to compete at global events for a higher income and better medical treatment.(2002年，她的儿子被诊断出患有白血病。她加入德国国籍，以便参加全球赛事获得更高收入和更好的医疗救治)”可知，2002年丘索维金娜加入德国国籍是为获得更高收入而参与全球竞争。故选C。 11．推理判断题。根据第四段“After her son’s recovery, Chusovitina continued her gymnastics journey out of love for the sport. “The biggest motivation is my desire. I want to perform. I love gymnastics, and this profession brings me great joy,” she said.(在儿子康复后，丘索维金娜出于对这项运动的热爱，继续她的体操之旅。她说：“最大的动力是我的渴望。我想要表演。我爱体操，这个职业给我带来巨大的快乐。”)” 可知，丘索维金娜对体操充满热爱，体现出她热情的一面；再依据文中提到她从 1992 年开始体操生涯，经历儿子患病等困难，一直坚持到近 50 岁还在比赛，如第一段“Just three months before her 50th birthday, legendary gymnast Oksana Chusovitina proved once again that age is just a number.(就在她 50 岁生日前三个月，传奇体操运动员奥克萨娜・丘索维金娜再次证明，年龄只是个数字)”表明她意志坚定。所以A选项 Passionate and strong - willed（充满热情且意志坚定）能最好地描述她。故选A。 12．推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Her drive to compete at 53 challenges the idea that gymnastics is only for young athletes. Her motivation extends beyond personal ambition. It’s about shifting the story around age in gymnastics.(53岁仍参赛的动力挑战了体操只属于年轻运动员的观念。她的动机超越了个人抱负。这关乎改变体操界关于年龄的固有说法)”可知，丘索维金娜成功挑战了体操界对年龄的固有看法。故D。 Passage 4 （2025高二下·云南昭通·期末） Debra Ferrell got the standard well wishes on Facebook on her 53rd birthday, but she got some unusual messages too. One was about a family in Minnesota who had just lost their four-year-old son to cancer. His older autistic (患自闭症的) brother was especially sad. Could Ferrell help? That message and the 30 or so others like it were what Ferrell was looking for. To celebrate her 53rd, the longtime social servicewoman had put out a call on her Facebook page. She wanted to complete 53 acts of kindness by the end of her birth month, and she needed information on people who could use one. When she got the note about the Minnesota family, she sent a wind chime (风铃) with the message “Listen to the wind and know that I am near.” It now hangs in the four-year-old’s bedroom, where his brother can go to listen to it whenever he wants. This is not the first time that Ferrell has decided to give gifts for her birthday. For her 47th, she set up Love With Skin On, an organization focusing on doing good acts near her home in Roanoke, Virginia, and other places. Over the years, Ferrell has reached out and touched well over 100 strangers. In another act of giving, she shares her favorite inexpensive and creative gift ideas on Pinterest for others to use. Ferrell pays for everything herself: gift cards, pay-it-forward purchases at drive-throughs, and care packages. Her family often gives her some extra birthday cash with a warning not to spend it on anyone else, which she naturally ignores. “I got a couple of Amazon gift cards for my birthday this year and was like ’YESSS!’” It’s Ferrell’s party, and she’ll give if she wants to. 13．What happened to the family in Minnesota? A．They suffered a lot of sadness. B．They had trouble raising their autistic son. C．They couldn’t afford the treatment of a disease. D．They had no idea how to celebrate their son’s birthday. 14．What did Ferrell decide to do in her birth month? A．Hold a big party. B．Spread her kindness. C．Set up an organization.

D．Keep the extra money for herself. 16．Which of the following can best describe Ferrell? A．Helpful and caring. B．Warm-hearted and honest. C．Easy-going and humorous. D．Creative and cool-minded. 【答案】13．A 14．B 15．D 16．A 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了Debra Ferrell在她的53岁生日时收到别人的求助信息并给予帮助，和她长期致力于帮助他人的故事。 13．细节理解题。根据第一段中“One was about a family in Minnesota who had just lost their four-year-old son to cancer. His older autistic (患自闭症的) brother was especially sad. (其中一个是关于明尼苏达州的一个家庭，他们四岁的儿子刚刚因癌症去世。他患自闭症的哥哥特别伤心。)”可知，明尼苏达州的这家人遭受了很多悲伤。故选A。 14．细节理解题。根据第二段中“To celebrate her 53rd, the longtime social servicewoman had put out a call on her Facebook page. She wanted to complete 53 acts of kindness by the end of her birth month, and she needed information on people who could use one. (为了庆祝她的53岁生日，这位长期从事社会服务工作的女性在她的Facebook页面上发布了一条信息。她想在生日结束前完成53件善事，她需要了解能用得上这些善事的人的信息。)”可知，Ferrell决定在她的生日月份传播她的善意。故选B。 15．细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Her family often gives her some extra birthday cash with a warning not to spend it on anyone else, which she naturally ignores. (她的家人经常给她一些额外的生日现金，并警告她不要花在别人身上，但她自然地忽略了这一点。)”可知，Ferrell的家人要求她把多余的钱留给自己。故选D。 16．推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是根据第二段中“To celebrate her 53rd, the longtime social servicewoman had put out a call on her Facebook page. She wanted to complete 53 acts of kindness by the end of her birth month, and she needed information on people who could use one. (为了庆祝她的53岁生日，这位长期从事社会服务工作的女性在她的Facebook页面上发布了一条信息。她想在生日结束前完成53件善事，她需要了解能用得上这些善事的人的信息。)”可知，Ferrell在生日期间通过做好事来庆祝并帮助他人，由此可推断出，Ferrell是一个乐于助人、关心他人的人。故选A。 主题03 人与自我 Passage 5 （2025高二下·云南楚雄·期末） Hawn never imagined she’d find her passion in such an unusual field. Despite the unconventional path, she has discovered deep contentment with working at a lice (虱子) clinic. Her role comes with a diverse set of responsibilities, from detecting and treating head lice using an officially approved device to scheduling appointments, selling products, collecting payments, and providing education to patients. Yet. Hawn’s primary focus is to assuage the fears of her patients. She takes enormous joy in helping mothers avoid panic attacks after long days, saving teenage girls from embarrassment at school, and bringing peace of mind to those who have been dealing with lice. For Hawn, seeing the positive impact she has on people’s lives makes a big difference. Working at the lice clinic has not only helped her develop career skills, but it has also confirmed her desire to work in healthcare. Through her experience, Hawn has realized that her true passion lies in helping others regain their confidence and peace of mind. Hawn has been working at the clinic for nearly five years. Despite the misconceptions people have about lice, she remains committed to her work. She even addresses the common myth that lice can fly or jump, explaining that lice only spread through direct head-to-head contact. Hawn takes precautions to ensure she doesn’t carry anything home after treatments. While balancing her work at the clinic with school is demanding, Hawn manages by taking weekend shifts. She is fortunate to have employers who accommodate her school schedule. Her primary goal throughout her education has been to graduate debt-free, and the lice clinic has provided her with the means to achieve this. Looking to the future, Hawn plans to focus on her current work after graduation but she is open to continuing part-time at the lice clinic. She has even considered opening her own clinic one day. Her work at the lice clinic has been a stepping stone toward a promising future in health care. 17．Hawn believes that working at the clinic can bring her a sense of ________. A．relief B．belonging C．satisfaction D．responsibility 18．What does the underlined word “assuage” in paragraph 2 mean? A．Tolerate. B．Record. C．Ease. D．Explain. 19．What can we know about Hawn from paragraph 4? A．She finds that her job is quite challenging. B．She has to turn to her parents for the debt. C．She often fails to catch up with her schedule. D．She works to support herself through college. 20．What does Hawn probably intend to do after graduation? A．Devote herself to health care. B．Reconsider her initial work plan. C．Further her study on medicine. D．Get a full-time job at the lice clinic. 【答案】17．C 18．C 19．D 20．A 【导语】 本文是一篇人物传记。文章主要讲述了Hawn在一家虱子诊所工作的经历和感受，包括她的工作职责、对患者的帮助、个人成长与收获、对工作的坚持与投入，以及未来的职业规划等。 【详解】17．细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Despite the unconventional path, she has discovered deep contentment with working at a lice (虱子) clinic. (尽管路径非比寻常，但她在虱子诊所的工作中找到了深切的满足感。)”以及第二段“For Hawn, seeing the positive impact she has on people’s lives makes a big difference. (对Hawn而言，亲眼看到自己对他人生活产生的积极影响意义非凡。)”可知，Hawn在诊所工作中找到了深切的满足感，且因自己对他人生活产生积极影响而感到意义重大。故选C。 18．词义猜测题。根据划线单词所在语境“Yet. Hawn’s primary focus is to assuage the fears of her patients. She takes enormous joy in helping mothers avoid panic attacks after long days, saving teenage girls from embarrassment at school, and bringing peace of mind to those who have been dealing with lice.(然而，Hawn的首要任务是……患者的恐惧。她从工作中收获巨大快乐：帮助母亲们在漫长的日子后避免恐慌发作，让少女们免于在学校尴尬，为饱受头虱困扰的人们带来心安。)”可知，Hawn帮助母亲避免恐慌、让少女免于尴尬、为患者带来心安。由此可知，“assuage”应表示“减轻、缓解”恐惧。选项C“ease”意为“缓解”，与此相符。故选C。 19．推理判断题。根据文章第四段“While balancing her work at the clinic with school is demanding, Hawn manages by taking weekend shifts. She is fortunate to have employers who accommodate her school schedule. Her primary goal throughout her education has been to graduate debt-free, and the lice clinic has provided her with the means to achieve this.(虽然平衡诊所工作与学业颇具挑战，但Hawn通过周末轮班来应对。幸运的是，雇主愿意配合她的学校日程。她在整个求学过程中的主要目标是毕业时不背负债务，而虱子诊所为她提供了实现这一目标的途径。)”可知，Hawn通过在诊所工作支付学费，以实现毕业无债务的目标。故选D。 20．细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Working at the lice clinic has not only helped her develop career skills, but it has also confirmed her desire to work in healthcare.(在虱子诊所的工作不仅帮助她培养了职业技能，也坚定了她从事医疗保健工作的意愿。)”以及最后一段“Looking to the future, Hawn plans to focus on her current work after graduation but she is open to continuing part-time at the lice clinic. She has even considered opening her own clinic one day.(展望未来，Hawn计划毕业后专注于当前的工作，但也愿意继续在虱子诊所兼职。她甚至考虑过有朝一日开设自己的诊所。在虱子诊所的工作，已成为她迈向医疗保健领域光明未来的一块垫脚石。)”可知，Hawn在诊所的工作坚定了她从事医疗保健行业的意愿，未来计划专注于当前领域（属于医疗保健范畴），甚至考虑开设自己的诊所。故选A。 Passage 6 （2024高二下·云南昆明·期末） I began writing when I was in high school. Life was relatively normal until the last year when my older brother died of a rare disease. I locked myself in the high-ceiled classrooms and spent hours trying to figure out the shades of green in trees, and how words might fill my life blanks. Writing was all I had. Poetry got me out of bed at dawn and cured my pain. Then graduation came. After learning that to be a proper housewife was all the future I would hold, I boarded the city bus to the next state and announced I wanted to go to college. With no money but excellent academic performance and student editor experience, I got admitted. I published my first piece in the student literary magazine. I wrote and kept writing till I landed a job and got married. My poems got published often, and won small but significant awards until I discovered I couldn’t do two things at once and do both well. I would either write full time and starve or work full time and invest in family. With much regret, I resigned (辞职) as a small-press poetry editor, left my works on the shelves and only wrote occasionally in spare notebooks. I started every new year in expectation of a comeback because poems were in my blood. My retiring years found me resolved to regain the only thing I had always wanted to do: writing poems. I dug out the notebooks, edited and re-edited. Dusty drafts changed with time into poems. It dawned on me that I never stopped writing poems, I was a poet and life itself was poetry. So why do I write poems? Because I have to. It’s the first light of my day, my lifeline, and I won’t let it go. 21．How did the author view writing at the beginning? A．It earned her a great reputation. B．It helped her through painful time. C．It promoted her language learning. D．It guided her to defeat nervousness. 22．What made the author quit her editor job? A．The poor publication market. B．The disapproval of her family. C．The expectation to increase income. D．The imbalance between work and life. 23．What has the author learned from poetry? A．Poetry mirrors life. B．Time heals all wounds. C．Fortune prefers the creative. D．Polishing makes a good poem. 24．Which of the following might be the best title of the text?

Laura is the founder of Sydney by Kayak, a company that offers guided kayak (皮艇) tours of Sydney Harbor (海港) in Australia. Not only did their business not decrease during the pandemic, but one of their tours is actually more popular than ever. A few years ago, Laura was paddling in the harbor when she noticed trash (垃圾) floating in the water. For reference, the United Nations Environment Programme estimates that about 8 million tons of plastic end up in our oceans each year, causing big problems for wildlife. Laura was so appalled by the garbage in the water that she decided to dedicate a few paddles each week to trash cleanup. Incredibly, her clients were immediately on board with the idea, so Sydney by Kayak now leads four to five garbage-collecting tours every week! At the start of the pandemic, Laura assumed her business would drop off as many others had. Instead, desperate for purpose and a way to get outdoors, people went to her “Clean Up Kayak” tours. They now routinely take about 441 pounds of garbage out of the harbor each week! “We’ve been quite surprised, even through the pandemic, we’ve been very busy,” Laura said. “Because they can’t travel, people are looking for something to do, that is not just good for them, but also good for the environment.” Each tour begins with participants preparing a paddle, bucket, picker stick, and sieve (筛子). Some people come back multiple times for the satisfaction of collecting trash from the harbor. Julie Greening, for example, has done about 10 tours so far and says “every little bit is worth it”. “There’re 7 billion people on this planet, so everyone does a little, and of course it’s going to help,” she says. Fresh air, sunshine, exercise, good company, and a great cause: What else do you need? Laura has found on an incredible, pandemic-proof business idea that helps the earth as much as it helps participants. 25．Why is Laura’s business more popular during lockdown? A．Because her business is related to guided kayak tours. B．Because she helps tackle the litter problem in the oceans. C．Because she deals with the food problem for ocean wildlife. D．Because she has unique business skills compared to other businessmen. 26．What’s the meaning of the underlined word “appalled” in Paragraph 4? A．Shocked. B．Curious. C．Satisfied. D．Excited. 27．What qualities does Laura have according to the text? A．Caring and devoted. B．Active and gifted. C．Creative but selfish. D．Hard-working but mean. 28．Which can be a suitable title for the text? A．Sea Kayak Adventure Group B．Properly Maintain Your Kayak C．How to Clean the Outside of Your Kayak D．Kayakers Remove Trash from Sydney Harbor 【答案】25．A 26．A 27．A 28．D 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章报道了悉尼皮艇公司的创始人Laura在封锁期间组织游客乘坐皮艇清除悉尼港垃圾的事情。 25．推理判断题。根据第五段中“Instead, desperate for purpose and a way to get outdoors, people went to her “Clean Up Kayak” tours.(相反，人们迫切需要一个目标和一种户外活动的方式，于是去参加她的“皮艇清洁”之旅。)”和第六段中“Because they can’t travel, people are looking for something to do, that is not just good for them, but also good for the environment.(因为他们不能旅行，人们在寻找一些不仅对他们有益，而且对环境有益的事情。)”可推知，劳拉的生意更受欢迎是因为在封锁期间人们渴望户外活动，而她的生意中包括带向导的皮艇游。故选A项。 26．词句猜测题。根据划线词后“by the garbage in the water”和句中结果状语“that she decided to dedicate a few paddles each week to trash cleanup.(于是她决定每周拿出几只皮艇来清理垃圾)”可推知，海里的垃圾让Laura感到震惊，所以她决定要用皮艇来清理垃圾。划线词与Shocked同义，意为“震惊的”。故选A项。 27．推理判断题。根据第三段中“Laura was so appalled by the garbage in the water that she decided to dedicate a few paddles each week to trash cleanup.(劳拉被水中的垃圾惊呆了，她决定每周拿出几只皮艇来清理垃圾。)”、第五段中“They now routinely take about 441 pounds of garbage out of the harbor each week!(他们现在每周从港口运出大约441磅的垃圾!)”和倒数第二段中““There’re 7 billion people on this planet, so everyone does a little, and of course it’s going to help,” she says.(她说：“这个星球上有70亿人，所以每个人都做一点，当然会有所帮助。”)”可推知，劳拉关心环境(caring )且能全心全意投入到环保事业中(devoted)。故选A项。 28．主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章讲述了悉尼皮艇公司的创始人Laura在封锁期间组织游客乘坐皮艇清除悉尼港的垃圾的事情，故“Kayakers Remove Trash from Sydney Harbor(皮划艇游客清除悉尼港的垃圾)”是文章最佳标题。故选D项。 Passage 8 （2022高二下·云南文山·期末） Is there life elsewhere in the universe? This is a question that has confused mankind. A new discovery may have brought us one step closer to the truth. The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency’s (JAXA) probe (探测器) “Hayabusa 2” discovered “amino acids (氨基酸)” in sand samples brought back to Earth from the Ryugu asteroid (小行星), Japanese financial newspaper The Nikkei reported, marking the first time that amino acids have been discovered outside Earth. As amino acids combine to form proteins, the discovery could hold the clues to understanding the origins of life. Scientists have been analyzing 5.4 grams of rocky grains (颗粒) from Ryugu ever since the samples were returned to Earth in December 2020. Experts previously said the samples “are the most original material in the solar system we have ever studied”, according to the Daily Mail. The unprecedented discovery of multiple types of amino acids on an extraterrestrial (地球外的) body could even hint (暗示) at the existence of life outside of Earth, Kensei Kobayashi, told Kyodo News. It also means amino acids can likely be found on other planets and natural satellites, hinting that “life could have been born in more places in the universe than previously thought”, Kobayashi added. The Ryugu probe aims to illustrate the mysteries of the origin of life in the solar system and life. Amino acids are necessary for life. Although it is not known how the amino acids got to ancient Earth, one theory is that they came by meteorite (陨石), according to Japan Today. The latest discovery will likely reinforce this theory. But it might not be a big deal. “Simply having the basic ingredients for dough (面团) doesn’t mean it can lead to the creation of pizza. Similarly, discovering amino acids in space doesn’t necessarily prove the existence of life beyond our home planet,” China Daily reporter Zhang Zhihao commented on Twitter. NASA has a similar mission to asteroid Bennu. Its OSIRIS-REx probe has already collected samples and is expected to return to Earth with them sometime next year. By comparing the results of Ryugu’s sample material with samples collected from the asteroid Bennu, scientists will better understand the various chemical mixtures in the universe and how life began, according to Science and Technology Daily. 29．Why is the discovery of amino acids in space significant? A．It proves the existence of life beyond Earth. B．It deepens our understanding of amino acids. C．It could offer an insight into how life began. D．It could explain how the solar system was formed. 30．What is Kobayashi’s attitude toward the discovery? A．Positive. B．Disappointed. C．Doubtful. D．Worried. 31．What does the underlined word “reinforce” in Paragraph 7 probably mean? A．Conflict with. B．Provide support for. C．Cast doubt on. D．Focus on. 32．Why is the OSIRIS-REx probe mentioned? A．To propose another research method. B．To compare Ryugu with other asteroids. C．To show how scientists are testing the theory. D．To explain the significance of exploring life in space. 【答案】29．C 30．A 31．B 32．C 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道，主要讲的是据日本经济新闻报道，日本宇宙航空研究开发机构的“Hayabusa2号”探测器在从Ryugu小行星带回地球的沙子样本中发现了“氨基酸”，这是人类首次在地球以外发现氨基酸。 【详解】29．推理判断题。根据第三段的“As amino acids combine to form proteins, the discovery could hold the clues to understanding the origins of life.(随着氨基酸结合形成蛋白质，这一发现可能为了解生命起源提供线索)”可知，氨基酸在太空中的发现意义重大是因为它可以让我们了解生命是如何开始的。故选C。 30．推理判断题。根据第六段的“It also means amino acids can likely be found on other planets and natural satellites, hinting that “life could have been born in more places in the universe than previously thought”, Kobayashi added.(这也意味着氨基酸很可能在其他行星和天然卫星上被发现，这暗示“生命可能在宇宙中比以前认为的更多的地方诞生”，Kobayashi补充道)”可知，Kobayashi对这一发现的态度是积极的，故选A。 31．词句猜测题。根据第七段的“Although it is not known how the amino acids got to ancient Earth, one theory is that they came by meteorite(尽管不知道氨基酸是如何到达古代地球的，但有一种理论认为它们是由陨石带来的)”和第二段的“The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency’s (JAXA) probe (探测器) “Hayabusa 2” discovered “amino acids (氨基酸)” in sand samples brought back to Earth from the Ryugu asteroid (小行星), Japanese financial newspaper The Nikkei reported, marking the first time that amino acids have been discovered outside Earth.(据日本经济新闻报道，日本宇宙航空研究开发机构的“Hayabusa2号”探测器在从Ryugu小行星带回地球的沙子样本中发现了“氨基酸”，这是人类首次在地球以外发现氨基酸)”可知，最新的研究加强了氨基酸从陨石带来的这一理论，因此划线词reinforce的意思是“加强”，和provide support for意思相近，故选B。 32．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段的“NASA has a similar mission to asteroid Bennu. Its OSIRIS-REx probe has already collected samples and is expected to return to Earth with them sometime next year.(美国宇航局对小行星Bennu也有类似的任务。它的OSIRIS-REx探测器已经收集了样本，预计将于明年某个时候返回地球)”和最后一段的“By comparing the results of Ryugu’s sample material with samples collected from the asteroid Bennu, scientists will better understand the various chemical mixtures in the universe and how life began, according to Science and Technology Daily.(据《科技日报》报道，通过将Ryugu的样本材料与从小行星Bennu收集的样本进行比较，科学家们将更好地了解宇宙中的各种化学混合物以及生命是如何开始的)”可知，提到OSIRIS-REx探测器是为了展示科学家们是如何检验这一理论的。故选C。 主题02 人与社会 Passage 9 （2025高二下·云南昭通·期末） When Randy Smalls found out that his daughter, ReOnna, was in a group of students who bullied a girl at school, he couldn’t bear to sit back. As someone all-too-familiar with being bullied, he felt they should say sorry to Ryan Reese, the girl who was getting picked on. And in doing so, he also found a way to teach his own daughter a lesson. He decided to help Ryan buy brand new clothes. ReOnna was upset, especially because she is into fashion. So Randy asked her to come with them and help pick out Ryan’s new clothes. Randy also took Ryan to get her hair done at a salon. Randy’s generosity became an inspiration. Several local salons also offered to help keep her looking beautiful in the months that followed. Upset as ReOnna was at first, the more time she spent with Ryan, the more she began to truly understand the importance of not bullying. Not only because it’s not okay to hurt others but because you never know what someone else is going through. For Ryan, that included losing her dad, grandpa, and aunt in a short period of time. “I wasn’t expecting it,” Ryan said. “I just started to cry. It really took me deeper down in my depression.” “As parents, we have to take responsibility for what our children do,” Randy said. “We can teach our children, but when they go and are around other children, something terrible may happen. When situations like this happen we have to take action and be the parent and not the friend.” 33．What did Randy find out? A．His daughter bullied a girl. B．His daughter was bullied. C．His daughter failed in exams. D．His daughter got hurt at school. 34．How did Randy teach his daughter a lesson? A．Urging her to make an apology to Ryan. B．Buying new clothes for Ryan. C．Blaming her for being involved in bullying. D．Reporting the bullying to the school. 35．What led to ReOnna’s change in attitude toward bullying? A．Her father’s strict discipline. B．Guilt over her own bullying behavior. C．The influence from local salons’ kindness. D．Understanding Ryan’s personal struggles. 36．What is the difference between “be the parent” and “be the friend” according to Randy? A．The parent is stricter. B．The parent is more caring. C．The parent is more responsible. D．The parent is more helpful. 【答案】33．A 34．B 35．D 36．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了Randy为了教育自己霸凌他人的女儿ReOnna，帮助被霸凌的女孩Ryan买新衣服和美发的故事。通过这个经历，女儿逐渐理解了不霸凌他人的重要性，并且意识到了自己的行为对他人的影响。父亲强调了家长应该对孩子的行为负责，并且在孩子犯错时要采取行动，而不是只当朋友。 【详解】33．细节理解题。根据第一段“When Randy Smalls found out that his daughter, ReOnna, was in a group of students who bullied a girl at school, he couldn’t bear to sit back. (当Randy Smalls发现他的女儿ReOnna是一个在学校欺负女生的学生时，他不能坐视不管。)”可知，Randy Smalls发现自己的女儿霸凌一名女孩，他不能坐视不管。故选A。 34．细节理解题。根据第二段“As someone all-too-familiar with being bullied, he felt they should say sorry to Ryan Reese, the girl who was getting picked on. And in doing so, he also found a way to teach his own daughter a lesson. He decided to help Ryan buy brand new clothes. (作为一个非常熟悉被欺负的人，他觉得他们应该向被欺负的女孩Ryan Reese道歉。这样做，他也找到了一个教训自己女儿的方法。他决定帮Ryan买全新的衣服。)”可知，Randy决定给被霸凌女孩Ryan买新衣服来教育自己的女儿ReOnna。故选B。 35．推理判断题。根据第三段“Upset as ReOnna was at first, the more time she spent with Ryan, the more she began to truly understand the importance of not bullying. Not only because it’s not okay to hurt others but because you never know what someone else is going through. For Ryan, that included losing her dad, grandpa, and aunt in a short period of time. “I wasn’t expecting it,” Ryan said. “I just started to cry. It really took me deeper down in my depression.” (ReOnna起初很沮丧，她和Ryan相处的时间越多，她就越开始真正理解不欺凌的重要性。不仅因为伤害别人是不好的，而且因为你永远不知道别人正在经历什么。对于Ryan来说，这包括在短时间内失去父亲、爷爷和阿姨。“我没想到，”Ryan说。“我就开始哭了。这真的让我更加沮丧。”)”可知，ReOnna态度转变的关键在于她了解了Ryan的个人困境，当她知晓Ryan在生活中面临诸多不易后，开始理解其处境，从而改变了对欺凌的看法。故选D。 36．推理判断题。根据最后一段““As parents, we have to take responsibility for what our children do,” Randy said. “We can teach our children, but when they go and are around other children, something terrible may happen. When situations like this happen we have to take action and be the parent and not the friend.” (Randy说：“作为父母，我们必须对孩子的行为负责。”我们可以教育我们的孩子，但当他们去和其他孩子在一起时，可怕的事情可能会发生。当这种情况发生时，我们必须采取行动，成为父母，而不是朋友。)”可知，Randy认为“做父母”和“做朋友”的区别是父母要对孩子更负责任，即家长应该对孩子的行为负责，并且在孩子犯错时要采取行动，而不是只当朋友。故选C。 Passage 10 （2024高二下·云南保山·期末） Thirty-three summers ago, a diverse group of passengers and I rode a bus from the residential areas, each of us wrapped in our own world, silent and serious. Among us was a small, grey man, a regular passenger who silently boarded the bus each morning, heading to the senior center. He moved with a stoop (弯腰), his face marked with sadness, unnoticed by the rest of us. One July morning, he greeted the driver and smiled at us, a gesture met with cautious acknowledgment from the driver and silence from the rest. The following day, he boarded with renewed energy, greeting us all warmly. Shocked, some of us responded in kind, and over time, we began to acknowledge each other more. The old man, now in a neat suit and tie, with his hair carefully combed , became a daily source of greeting. One morning, he surprised us with a bouquet of wildflowers, slightly wilted from the heat. The driver, with a smile, teased him about having a girlfriend, to which he shyly confirmed. The bus erupted in cheers and applause, and Charlie, our old man, took a bow before sitting down. From then on, Charlie brought flowers every day, and some of us started to contribute to his bouquet, shyly offering them to him. The atmosphere on the bus transformed; men began to joke, chat, and share the newspaper. As autumn approached, Charlie missed his stop one morning, and his absence continued for several days, prompting concern. Upon reaching the senior center, we learned that he was fine but had lost a close friend and was expected back on Monday. The bus ride back was filled with a quiet silence. The following Monday, Charlie was there, a bit more stooped, his hair a touch grayer, and without his tie. The bus was quiet, like a church, as we, who had been touched by his presence that summer, sat with tears in our eyes and wildflowers in our hands, a silent tribute to our friend Charlie. 37．What was the initial reaction of the bus passengers to the old man’s greeting?

The exhibition spotlights Henson’s unique contributions to children’s education, including his creation of the Muppets (布偶). Born in 1936 in Mississippi, Henson grew up in Maryland. His creative talents were evident when he was a student at high school. He loved cartooning and creating sets for school theater productions. While a freshman at university, Henson made puppets for a local TV station. The station’s producers were so impressed that they asked him to produce his own puppet show. Called Sam and Friends, the program started in 1955. Viewers loved Henson’s playful characters, including an early version of Kermit the Frog. While at university, Henson majored in home economics. At the time, it was the only major that offered classes in sewing and textiles (纺织品).Henson not only honed his creative skills at university, but he was also good at marketing and business. “He was an entrepreneur who happened to get into puppetry, ” said Deborah Wood, MCHC’s learning manager. In 1959, Henson married Jane Nebel, whom be had met at university. The couple established Muppets Inc. which later became the Jim Henson Company.

(他的创造才能在高中时就显露出来了。他喜欢画漫画，喜欢为学校的戏剧制作创造背景。在大学一年级时，Henson为当地一家电视台制作木偶。电视台的制片人对他印象深刻，请他制作自己的木偶剧。)”可知，这段主要描写了Jim Henson的创作天赋，在高中时已经崭露头角，读大一时为当地电视台制作的木偶让制片人印象深刻并邀请他制作自己的木偶节目。故选C。 46．词义猜测题。根据第三段 “Henson not only honed his creative skills at university, but he was also good at marketing and business. (Henson不仅在大学honed 了自己的创意技能，而且还擅长市场营销和商业。)” 可知上下文是并列关系，所以在大学里他不仅提升了创作技能，而且也很擅长市场营销和商业。故猜测honed和Improved同义，故选B。 47．细节理解题。根据第四段“It was there that Focus Bert, Ernie, Miss Piggy, and other Muppets were created for Sesame Street, a popular children's television program. Generations of children around the world have grown up watching and learning from the Muppets. (正是在那里，福克斯伯特、厄尼、猪猪小姐和其他布偶被创作出来，用于一档受欢迎的儿童电视节目《芝麻街》。世界各地的一代又一代的孩子都是看着布偶长大的。)”可知，Sesame Street 是一档儿童节目。故选C。 48．推理判断题。根据最后一段““For me, I think the really powerful message of this exhibition is the fact that it covers Henson's whole life and his whole career,” said Chloe Green, public programs manager at the MCHC. (“对我来说，我认为这次展览真正有力的信息是，它涵盖了Henson的整个生活和他的整个职业生涯，”MCHC的公共项目经理克洛伊·格林说。)” 可知，Chloe Green 对这次展览十分称赞。故选A。 Passage 13 （2022高二下·云南保山·期末） The recent story on Tik Tok showed how two neighbors found companionship during the lock-down because of the pandemic, thanks to a share the love of the piano. The story started when Giorgio Lo Porto heard his neighbor playing the piano through their dividing wall. Lo Porto, an Italian living in London, decided to reach out to his neighbor and left a note asking him or her to play My Heart Will Go On. The mystery never agreed, leading Lo Porto to send another note suggesting they play a duet (二重奏) together from the comfort of their own homes. The mystery neighbor started playing the piano at 2: 00 pm, and when he stopped after finishing a part of the song, Lo Porto continued. Over time, the duets between the two complete strangers became a regular weekend appointment. Weeks later, the pair finally met and it was better than expected. The mystery pianist happened to be a 78-year-old Polish man named Emil, who was living in temporary accommodation until his house was sold. He lost his wife in December due to COVID- 19 and all he had left was the piano. And the reason why he played at 2: 00 pm every weekend was that he and his wife used to do that. The pair finished a final duet together—Beethoven’ s Moonlight Sonata—before Emil moved out at the end of February. While this is heartwarming in itself, the story has a heartbreaking ending: On March 14, Lo Porto shared that his old neighbor had passed away in his sleep. He said, “Now he is reunited with his wife.” While saying goodbye to Emil, Lo Porto wrote, “Dear Emil, I knew very little about you, but you changed my life. You give me back my passion, and we shared that with the world. You will be in my heart. I’ ll keep playing, thinking of how powerful music can be. You said I was your light, but you’ ve been mine, too. Bye, Emil.” 49．What happened after Lo Porto left the second note for Emil? A．They shared their playing skill with each other. B．They composed a new song based on a classic. C．They perform the music together through the wall. D．They reached out to neighbors to cheer them up. 50．Why did Emil play the piano at a special time? A．To advertise his house. B．To comfort strangers. C．To upload his updates. D．To remember his wife. 51．What is the sad part of the story in the author’ s opinion? A．Emil’ s passing away. B．Lo Porto’ s departure. C．Their final performance. D．The unfamiliarity between them. 52．What does Lo Porto mainly convey at last? A．It is easy to say goodbye. B．He admired Emil’ s ambition. C．Music is a universal language. D．Emil positively influenced him. 【答案】49．C 50．D 51．A 52．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了两个陌生邻居在疫情隔离期间隔墙合奏音乐的感人故事。 49．细节理解题。根据文章第二段“The mystery never agreed, leading Lo Porto to send another note suggesting they play a duet (二重奏) together from the comfort of their own homes. The mystery neighbor started playing the piano at 2: 00 pm, and when he stopped after finishing a part of the song, Lo Porto continued. Over time, the duets between the two complete strangers became a regular weekend appointment.(这位神秘的邻居同意了，于是洛·波尔图又发了一张便条，建议他们在舒适的家中一起演奏二重唱。这位神秘的邻居在下午2点开始弹钢琴，当他弹完一首歌的一部分后停了下来，洛·波尔图继续演奏。 随着时间的推移，这两个完全陌生的人之间的二重唱变成了周末的常规约会)”可知，在Lo Porto给Emil留了第二张便条后，他们开始隔墙合奏。故选C项。 50．推理判断题。根据文章第三段“He lost his wife in December due to COVID- 19 and all he had left was the piano. And the reason why he played at 2: 00 pm every weekend was that he and his wife used to do that.(去年12月，他的妻子因新冠肺炎去世，剩下的只有钢琴。他之所以在每个周末的下午2点弹奏是因为他和他的妻子过去经常这样做)”可推断，Emil在每周末的下午两点弹钢琴是为了缅怀妻子。故选D项。 51．细节理解题。根据第五段“While this is heartwarming in itself, the story has a heartbreaking ending: On March 14, Lo Porto shared that his old neighbor had passed away in his sleep. (虽然这本身很暖心，但故事的结局却令人心碎：3月14日，洛·波尔图分享了他的老邻居在睡梦中去世的消息)”可知，在作者看来，这个故事的结局令人心碎，因为Emil去世了。故选A项。 52．推理判断题。根据最后一段“You gave me back my passion, and we shared that with the world. You’ll be in my heart. I’ll keep playing, thinking of how powerful music can be. (你燃起了我的热情，我们把它分享给了全世界。你会在我心里。我会继续演奏，想象音乐有多么强大)”可知，Emil让他重拾了对音乐的热情并且成为他生命中的一道光。由此可推断，Lo Porto主要想表达Emil对他产生了积极的影响。故选D项。 Passage 14 （2023高二下·云南大理·期末） While for many a chef, serving up the fanciest and most delicious meals is the final aim, Rudolf Brand has an extra mission: fighting food waste. He believes that with his dishes, he can have a big impact: not just on people’s taste buds (味蕾), but also on their way of thinking about food and food waste. With 22 years of experience, including Michelin⁃starred restaurants in London and Amsterdam,he has seen a lot of food wasted in his career.So what is the best way to prevent this? For him,it really comes down to one essential thing: “Rather than thinking about what new meals you want to cook,look at the remnants—what’s available,and then make a menu.This is what every chef should do.” He’s clear on his solution: “Lose that fanciness, and look at the quality of the product and the flavor,” Rudolf explains.“There are too many chefs who are trying to be too fancy.They want to have only the biggest sea fish no matter what.Or they make a dish with only the heart of the cabbage,only using the most delicate leaves and then they throw away the rest.” He shakes his head at the idea of such waste. He knows that one of his suppliers—a local farm—is left with a growing food mountain when top Michelin⁃starred chefs only buy the prized cuts of meat instead of ordering the entire leg.In just three or four weeks,the farm is left with 1,000 legs of lamb in the freezer.“And that’s just one supplier,” he says. While other chefs will only accept the best from their suppliers,if something is smaller or damaged or has a few black bits,Rudolf is still going to use it.“Just because I’ll accept produce of slightly lower quality it doesn’t mean I’m going to serve less quality.It’s my job to turn that into good⁃quality food on the plate,” he says. 53．What is special about Rudolf Brand’s dishes? A．They educate the public on food waste. B．They offer different choices to taste buds. C．They enjoy great popularity among customers. D．They are served in Michelin⁃starred restaurants. 54．What does the underlined word “remnants” in Paragraph 2 mean? A．Plans. B．Menus. C．Products. D．Remains. 55．What problems do some suppliers face? A．They fail to win big orders. B．They are loaded with leftovers. C．They are fined for wasting food. D．They sell produce at a low price. 56．What message does Rudolf seem to convey in the text? A．Two heads are better than one. B．Small gains bring great wealth. C．Constant dropping wears stones. D．Make the best use of everything. 【答案】53．A 54．D 55．B 56．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了厨师Rudolf Brand致力于通过剩余的或有瑕疵的食材来制作高品质的食物，以转变人们对食物浪费的认识和态度的故事。 53．细节理解题。根据第一段“He believes that with his dishes，he can have a big impact：not just on people’s taste buds(味蕾)，but also on their way of thinking about food and food waste.（他相信，通过他的菜肴，他可以产生巨大的影响：不仅可以影响人们的味蕾，还可以改变人们对食物和食物浪费的看法。）”可知，Rudolf Brand的菜肴可以影响公众对于食物浪费的态度，即对于公众产生教育意义。故选A。 54．词义猜测题。根据第二段 “Amsterdam, he has seen a lot of food wasted in his career（他在职业生涯中看到了很多食物浪费）”以及“Rather than thinking about what new meals you want to cook, look at the remnants—what’s available, and then make a menu．This is what every chef should do.（与其考虑你想做什么新菜，不如看看有什么可用的，然后做一个菜单）”可知，Amsterdam在工作过程中看到很多食材被浪费，不忍丢弃这些剩余的食材，因此想要据此做出新的菜单。由此推断出，此处划线单词表示剩余的食材，残留的食物。故选D。 55．推理判断题。根据第四段“He knows that one of his suppliers—a local farm—is left with a growing food mountain when top Michelin⁃ starred chefs only buy the prized cuts of meat instead of ordering the entire leg. In just three or four weeks, the farm is left with 1,000 legs of lamb in the freezer.（他知道，他的供应商之一——当地的一家农场——在米其林星级厨师只购买珍贵的肉块而不是订购整条腿的情况下，面临着不断增长的食物山。在短短三、四周的时间里，农场的冰箱里就剩下了1000只羊腿。）”可知，顶级米其林星级厨师只购买珍贵的肉块，而不是订购整条腿，由此推断出农场里遗留了越来越多的剩余食材。故选B。 56．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Just because I’ll accept produce of slightly lower quality it doesn’t mean I’m going to serve less quality. It’s my job to turn that into good-quality food on the plate,（我可以接受质量稍差的产品，但这并不意味着我的服务质量就会降低。我的工作就是把它们变成盘子里的优质食物。）”可知，Rudolf通过自己的努力把原本要被浪费的剩余食材变成美味的食物，可知，Rudolf想要传递的思想是：将剩余的食材物尽其用。故选D。 主题03 人与自我 Passage 15 （2022高二下·云南文山·期末） “She is a girl, not a boy,” my grandfather said, expressing his disappointment. Like most families in China, he believed that his bloodline passes down through the male side. Because of China’s one-child policy, my mother wouldn’t have a second chance to have a boy. In keeping with the traditional family hierarchy(等级制度), my grandfather had the honor of naming me. He chose Xiǎoxiá which means “early morning light”—the time of my birth. “Xiá also shares the same character as Dānxiá Mountain, referring to the place where I was born.” But my parents didn’t like the name. They thought it sounded dull and it didn’t resonate with their expectations for me. As the eldest son, my dad performed his right to name me next, naming me Chénshī. The two characters together mean “an early morning poem.” It reflects a saying in China: There is bread and butter in life, but also poems and dreams. But in the Hakka dialect spoken by my family, the name sounded like the phrase for “a floating dead body.” On the third day after my birth, my mom decided on Shūrán. It stuck. My name means nature, comfort, and harmony. It means to go with the flow. She knew that I, as the only child, would carry the expectations of both sides of our families on my tiny shoulders and it would be difficult not to feel crushed by the weight of those expectations. Like my dad, she hoped that I would be able to freely pursue my dreams. She wanted me to become an independent and strong woman just like her. A month after I was born, she wrote an acrostic poem about my name and her wishes for me: A DIARY FOR MY DAUGHTER’S NAME As an ancestor of the Yellow Emperor Shuran follows the flow with a clear mind and bright eyes She will become beautiful and look just like Xī Shí When she grows up, she will be a great success and do great things 57．What can be inferred about the author’s grandfather? A．Her grandfather is a positive person. B．Her grandfather is conventional and traditional. C．Her grandfather determines to change his thoughts. D．Her grandfather is responsible for Shuran. 58．What does the underlined word “ resonate" in Paragraph 3 mean? A．Help. B．Ask. C．Match. D．Recognize. 59．Which of the following is NOT the reason why the author’s mother named her daughter Shuran? A．Because the mother expected her daughter’s life was natural, comfortable and harmonious. B．Because the mother hoped that her daughter would be able to freely pursue dreams. C．Because the mother wanted her daughter to become independent and strong. D．Because the mother knew that her daughter can’t take on her expectations. 60．What is the main idea of the text? A．Shuran shares the stories behind her own name. B．Shuran’s opinions about her own name. C．Shuran’s families compete with each other for her own name. D．Shuran’s mother is careful about Shuran’s name. 【答案】57．B 58．C 59．D 60．A 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述的是作者舒然分享她名字背后的故事。 57．推理判断题。根据文章第一段“‘She is a girl, not a boy,’ my grandfather said, expressing his disappointment.”和“He believed that his bloodline passes down through the male side．”（‘她是个女孩，不是男孩，’祖父说，表达了他的失望。像中国大多数家庭一样，他相信自己的血统是通过男性遗传的）可知，作者的祖父具有重男轻女的思想，因此，作者外祖父是一个传统和保守的人，故选B。 58．词句猜测题。根据文章第三段首句“But my parents didn’t like the name. They thought it sounded dull and it didn’t resonate with their expectations for me.(但是我的父母并不喜欢祖父起的名字。他们认为这个名字听起来很枯燥乏味，这个名字并不resonate他们对我的期望)”可知，作者父母不打算用祖父给起的名字。由此可知，“小霞”这个名字与他们的期望不符合。因此划线词表示“符合”之意，match “……一致；与……符合”。故选C。 59．细节理解题。根据文章第四段“She knew that I, as the only child, would carry the expectations of both sides of our families on my tiny shoulders and it would be difficult not to feel crushed by the weight of those expectations.”（妈妈知道，作为家里唯一的孩子，我小小的肩膀将承载着家庭双方的期望，很难不被这些期望的重量压垮）可知，妈妈给作者起“舒然”这个名字希望作者可以去轻松追求梦想，并不是认为作者不能承担得起他们的期待。故选D。 60． 主旨大意题。通读全文，文章第一段讲给作者起名的背景，接下来文章分别讲述了作者的祖父，父亲和母亲给作者起名以及名字的寓意的故事，所以文章主要讲述的是作者舒然分享她名字背后的故事。故选A。 Passage 16 （2023高二下·云南保山·期末） Cecilia Chiang, named the “mother of Chinese food in American”, a famed restauranteur who helped introduce real Chinese food to America in the 1960s, died on October 28, 2020 at the age of 100. Opened in 1961, Cecilia’ legendary San Francisco restaurant, the Mandarin, was arguably the best Chinese restaurant in the US for over 30 years. She challenged the American idea of Chinese food and transformed their appreciation for authentic Chinese cuisine. Ms. Chiang was born in Wuxi in 1920 as the seventh daughter in a wealthy family. After her parents died, Cecilia managed the businesses’ finances while still in her teens. Ms. Chiang came to San Francisco in 1959. Once in San Francisco, she met two acquaintances who wanted to open a restaurant. Ms. Chiang agreed to put up a huge deposit. But when the two women quit, Ms. Chiang found to her horror that the deposit was not refundable. She decided to open the restaurant herself. “I began to think that if I could create a restaurant with Western-style service and the dishes that I was most familiar with—the delicious food of northern China—maybe my little restaurant would succeed,” she wrote in her book. The Mandarin, which was opened in 1961 as a small restaurant, introduced customers to mainly Sichuan, Shanghai and Canton dishes. The early days were especially tough. But little by little, Chinese diners, and a few Americans came regularly. Overnight, the tables filled and became a huge success. Ms. Chiang enjoyed many extraordinary honors. In 2013, when she was 93, she received the long overdue Lifetime Achievement Award from the James Beard Awards, known as the “Culinary Oscars” at New York’s Lincoln Center. Cecilia considered it her legacy to have redefined what Americans know about Chinese food and culture. In her acceptance speech, Cecilia said, “This is an incredible honor. James Beard was one of my close personal friends, so this award holds a special place in my heart.” 61．What is Cecilia’s early life in San Francisco? A．She transferred her family business to San Francisco. B．She opened her restaurant because the deposit was non-refundable. C．She met two classmates who cheated her out of money. D．She obtained the help of two acquaintances. 62．What can we know about Cecilia’s restaurant business? A．It was an overnight hit through accumulation. B．It is easy to survive the early days. C．It has typical Western-style dishes. D．It got help from a distinguished person. 63．What did Cecilia’s restaurant bring to Americans? A．It completely changed American’s eating habits. B．It brought Oscars to the food world. C．It showed Americans the charm of Chinese food. D．It brought memories of the old era to Americans. 64．How to understand the underlined word? A．Describe something that had always been desired. B．Describe something that took place unexpectedly. C．Describe something that had turned up by chance. D．Describe something that should have happened before. 【答案】61．B 62．A 63．C 64．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了“美国中餐之母” ——江孙芸的一生，以及江孙芸为将中餐引入美国所做的贡献。 【详解】1. 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Ms. Chiang came to San Francisco in 1959. Once in San Francisco, she met two acquaintances who wanted to open a restaurant. Ms. Chiang agreed to put up a huge deposit. But when the two women quit, Ms. Chiang found to her horror that the deposit was not refundable. She decided to open the restaurant herself. (江女士 1959 年来到旧金山。有一次在旧金山，她遇到了两个想开餐馆的熟人。江女士同意支付一大笔定金。但当这两名女子放弃后，蒋女士惊恐地发现，押金是无法退还的。她决定自己开餐馆。)”可推知，江孙芸为他人支付了定金，但是那两个人放弃后，她发现押金无法退还，所以，她决定自己开餐厅。故选B。 2. 推理判断题。根据第四段“The early days were especially tough. But little by little, Chinese diners, and a few Americans came regularly. Overnight, the tables filled and became a huge success. (早期的日子特别艰难。但一点一点地，中国食客和一些美国人定期来。一夜之间，桌子座无虚席，取得了巨大的成功。)”可推知她的餐馆的一夜之间的成功是积累的结果。故选A。 3. 推理判断题。根据第一段“She challenged the American idea of Chinese food and transformed their appreciation for authentic Chinese cuisine. (她挑战了美国人对中餐的看法，改变了他们对正宗中国菜的欣赏。)”以及最后一段“Cecilia considered it her legacy to have redefined what Americans know about Chinese food and culture. (Cecilia认为，她的遗产是重新定义了美国人对中国食物和文化的认识。)”可推断，她最大的贡献就是向美国人展示了中国食物的魅力。故选C。 4. 词义猜测题。根据划线单词前一句“Ms. Chiang enjoyed many extraordinary honors. (江获得了许多非凡的荣誉。)”以及她当时已经 93 岁，可推知，江孙芸获得了很多非凡的荣誉，所以说这个奖项——詹姆斯·比尔德奖终身成就奖，早就应该授予江孙芸。由此可知，划线单词意思为“描述了一些以前就应该发生的事情。”，故选D。 Passage 17 （2023高二下·云南玉溪·期末） Often called “the Lady with the Lamp”, Florence Nightingale was a caring nurse and a leader. She is mostly known for making hospitals a cleaner and safer place to be. Although her parents were from England, Florence Nightingale was born in 1820 in Italy while they were traveling. Growing up in a wealthy family, Florence Nightingale was homeschooled by her father and expected to get married at a young age. However, Nightingale believed she received a “calling” from God to help the poor and the sick. Despite the initial disapproval, her father eventually allowed her to go to Germany and then Paris to study. By the time she was 33, Nightingale was already making a name for herself in the nursing community. When the Crimean War began in 1854, the British, with the lack of medical supplies, overcrowding, and dirty conditions, were unprepared to deal with a large number of sick and injured soldiers. The Secretary of War, Sidney Herbert asked Nightingale to manage a group of nurses that would go to treat the wounded soldiers. When they got there, the doctors were unwelcoming because they did not want to work with female nurses. However, as the number of patients increased, the doctors needed their help. The nurses brought supplies, nutritious food and cleanliness to the military hospital. Nightingale was known for carrying a lamp and checking on the soldiers at night, so they gave her the nickname “the Lady with the Lamp”. Within six months, Nightingale and her team transformed the hospital, and the death rate went down significantly because of their work. When Nightingale returned from the war, she continued to improve the conditions of hospitals. She wrote 150 books, pamphlets (小册子), and reports on health-related issues. In her later years, often bedridden from illness, she continued to advocate for safe nursing practices until her death. Although Florence Nightingale died on August 13th, 1910, at the age of 90, her legacy continues. 65．What did Nightingale’s parents expect her to do at a young age? A．To get married. B．To travel in Italy. C．To study in Germany. D．To help the poor and the sick. 66．How did the doctors react when the nurse team arrived at first? A．Passionate. B．Welcoming. C．Uncooperative. D．Indifferent. 67．Why was Nightingale nicknamed “the Lady with the Lamp”? A．She liked collecting lamps. B．She often stayed up late for study. C．She brought lamps for the military hospital to use. D．She usually checked on the soldiers at night carrying a lamp. 68．What will be the probable content for the next paragraph? A．The books Nightingale wrote. B．The continued impact Nightingale has made. C．The difficulties Nightingale encountered before. D．The great things Nightingale did during her lifetime. 【答案】65．A 66．C 67．D 68．B 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要介绍了弗洛伦斯·南丁格尔的生平，以及她为改善医院的医疗环境所作的突出贡献。 【详解】65．细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Growing up in a wealthy family, Florence Nightingale was homeschooled by her father and expected to get married at a young age.(弗洛伦斯·南丁格尔在一个富裕的家庭长大，由父亲在家教学，并被期望在年轻的时候结婚。)”可知，弗洛伦斯·南丁格尔的父母期望她在年轻的时候结婚。故选A。 66．观点态度题。根据第三段中的“When they got there, the doctors were unwelcoming because they did not want to work with female nurses.(当她们到达那里时，医生们并不友善，因为他们不想和女护士一起工作。)”可知，当护士团队到达时，一开始这些医生的态度很不友善，他们不愿与女护士一起工作，由此可知，他们是不愿配合的（uncooperative）。passionate意为“狂热的”；welcoming意为“热情的，友好的”；indifferent意为“漠不关心的”。故选C。 67．细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Nightingale was known for carrying a lamp and checking on the soldiers at night, so they gave her the nickname ‘the Lady with the Lamp’.(南丁格尔以带灯在夜间检查士兵而闻名，因此他们给她起了‘提灯女神’的绰号。)”可知，南丁格尔被称为“提灯女神”，是因为她经常在晚上拿着灯去检查士兵们的状况。故选D。 68．推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句“Although Florence Nightingale died on August 13th, 1910, at the age of 90, her legacy continues.(尽管弗洛伦斯·南丁格尔于1910年8月13日去世，享年90岁，但她的遗赠仍在继续。)”可知，南丁格尔去世后她的遗赠仍在继续，由此可推测出，接下来应该会讲述南丁格尔所产生的持续影响。故选B。 Passage 18 （2024高二下·云南昭通·期末） In 2019, an unassuming package arrived at my front door. Inside was a 2-by-4-foot scrapbook (剪贴簿) filled with precious candy wrappers over 70 years old. Why was it sent to me? I’m the founder of the Candy Wrapper Museum, my online “roadside attraction”. I was 15 years old when I started collecting. At that time many friends had cool collections like beer bottles. I wanted to start my own, but of what? I usually spent my few coins on candies. The candy shelves were a wonderland of tasty treats with colorful wrappers and names. Then inspiration struck. Instead of throwing the wrappers away, I would save them. I would create the Candy Wrapper Museum, where I imagined that they would one day be enjoyed as art and humor after I retire. In 2002, inspiration struck again. Why wait until retirement? Why not open the museum right now on the internet, the ultimate “superhighway”? Building the online museum was a massive six-month, one-person project. First, I sorted roughly 650 of my favorite wrappers into themes such as: Celebrities, Classics, Holidays, Big Eats, and No Fun. I scanned everything that was flat, photographed the rest, scanned the prints, cleaned all the now-digital images, then wrote lighthearted comments to provide each visitor with my personal tour. Then, I bought a book on how to write HTML and built the site myself. When it was launched in 2002, I had no expectations. Would anyone even be interested in this strange hobby? To my surprise, without any promotion, the site went viral (走红), even getting selected as Yahoo’s “Funny Site of the Week”. The sudden burst of popularity inspired some comments, like, “A candy wrapper museum? Now we’ve heard everything.” But mostly people wrote in to thank me, sharing how the sight of a long-gone favorite candy bar reminded them of their childhood memories. This is when I knew I was doing something important. We think of collections as “things,” but we also collect special moments that may not stay front of mind, but never fade from our hearts. To this day people turn to me, hoping I can help uncover connections to cherished memories around candies from their past. 69．What gave the author the idea of collecting? A．She got inspired by her friends’ hobby. B．She wanted to record the candy history. C．She saw the candy wrapper as a reminder. D．She couldn’t afford other kinds of hobbies. 70．What does the author intend to tell us in paragraph 5? A．The learning process of setting up a website. B．The preparations for setting up the museum. C．The themes of the collected candy wrappers. D．The categories of her favorite candy wrappers. 71．What was most people’s reaction to the Candy Wrapper Museum? A．They showed appreciation to it. B．They felt it was useless. C．They thought of it as strange. D．They doubted its existence. 72．What is the purpose of the text? A．To advise readers to consider a hobby. B．To advertise the online candy museum. C．To encourage readers to collect wrappers. D．To recall the creation of the wrapper museum. 【答案】69．A 70．B 71．A 72．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了少年时期的作者开始收集糖果纸，后来在网上创办了“糖果纸博物馆”，实现了自己的梦想，并且更深刻地意识到了糖果纸博物馆的意义。 【详解】69．细节理解题。根据第二段中“At that time many friends had cool collections like beer bottles. I wanted to start my own, but of what? (当时很多朋友都有很酷的收藏品，比如啤酒瓶。我想自己创业，但是什么？)”可知，作者受到周围朋友的影响，因此打算开始收集糖果纸。故选A项。 70．主旨大意题。根据第五段“Building the online museum was a massive six-month, one-person project.

She thought it would be easy to find recipes. “I went to the Internet, did some search but only found two books, which I thought immediately, ‘Wow, this is funny,’” Vasquez said. It was at the moment that Vasquez determined to do something to safeguard her culture. Her idea became SalviSoul, a platform (平台) launched in 2015 to preserve her traditional food culture through stories, cooking classes and recipes. And now, that mission has turned into The SalviSoul Cookbook: Salvadoran Recipes. Vasquez said that the book started coming together through her desire to interview the women in her family and learn their recipes. But when friends heard about her project, they were excited to share recipes and stories from their families. She started seeking stories and recipes from her community and got responses from around the world. The interviews she collected became The SalviSoul Cookbook, with 80 recipes from 25 women. “The way that I brought in the culture was through the women in my family and they fed me.” They also shared lessons on life and love. “So there was the food that built my physical form. And as I was at the table, these stories were feeding the part of my soul that longed to connect, that longed to belong.” She eventually secured a contract (合同) for The SalviSoul Cookbook from Ten Speed Press, an imprint of Penguin Random House. About the publication, Vasquez said, “It’s about making sure that what cost a lot to learn isn’t forgotten.” 73．What inspired Vasquez’s idea of SalviSoul? A．Lack of Salvadoran recipes. B．Appetite for the Internet culture. C．Desire to be a famous chef and writer. D．Interest in traditional and modern cooking. 74．How did women in Vasquez’s family offer help? A．They funded her cookbook to be published. B．They fed her to grow up with nutritious food. C．They taught her traditional cooking techniques. D．They gave her material and emotional supports. 75．Which of the following can best describe Vasquez? A．Creative and determined. B．Outgoing and generous. C．Positive and confident. D．Friendly and thankful. 76．Who might be the target readers of The SalviSoul Cookbook? A．Female neighbors. B．Women publishers. C．Salvadoran food lovers. D．Experienced housewives. 【答案】73．A 74．D 75．A 76．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了厨师兼作家Karla Tatiana Vasquez创建SalviSoul平台及出版The SalviSoul Cookbook: Salvadoran Recipes的故事，旨在保存萨尔瓦多传统美食文化。 【详解】73．细节理解题。根据第一段“Karla Tatiana Vasquez, a trained chef and food writer, was born in El Salvador, moved to Los Angeles as a baby, and grew up eating food from her homeland. She thought it would be easy to find recipes. “I went to the Internet, did some search but only found two books, which I thought immediately, ‘Wow, this is funny,’” Vasquez said. It was at the moment that Vasquez determined to do something to safeguard her culture.(Karla Tatiana Vasquez是一位训练有素的厨师和美食作家，出生于萨尔瓦多，婴儿时期搬到洛杉矶，从小吃着家乡的食物长大。她认为找到菜谱很容易。Vasquez说：“我上网搜索了一下，但只找到了两本书，我立刻想，‘哇，这很有趣。’”。正是在这一刻，Vasquez决心做点什么来保护她的文化)”以及第二段“Her idea became SalviSoul, a platform (平台) launched in 2015 to preserve her traditional food culture through stories, cooking classes and recipes.(她的想法变成了SalviSoul，这是一个于2015年推出的平台，旨在通过故事、烹饪课程和食谱来保护她的传统饮食文化)”可知，是缺少萨尔瓦多食谱的事实激发了Vasquez建立SalviSoul平台的想法。故选A。 74．细节理解题。根据第三段“Vasquez said that the book started coming together through her desire to interview the women in her family and learn their recipes. But when friends heard about her project, they were excited to share recipes and stories from their families.(Vasquez说，这本书开始成型是通过她采访家里的女性并学习她们的食谱的渴望。但当朋友们听说她的项目时，她们很高兴能分享家人的食谱和故事)”以及第四段““The way that I brought in the culture was through the women in my family and they fed me.” They also shared lessons on life and love. “So there was the food that built my physical form. And as I was at the table, these stories were feeding the part of my soul that longed to connect, that longed to belong.”(“我是通过家里的女性把这种文化带进来的，她们养活了我。”她们还分享了关于生活和爱情的课程。“所以有食物建立了我的身体形态。当我坐在餐桌旁时，这些故事滋养了我灵魂中渴望联系、渴望归属的部分。”)”可知，Vasquez家里的女性不仅养活了Vasquez，而且她们分享的故事也滋养了的Vasquez的精神，即她们给了Vasquez物质和情感上的支持。故选D。 75．推理判断题。根据第二段“Her idea became SalviSoul, a platform (平台) launched in 2015 to preserve her traditional food culture through stories, cooking classes and recipes.(她的想法变成了SalviSoul，这是一个于2015年推出的平台，旨在通过故事、烹饪课程和食谱来保护她的传统饮食文化)”以及最后一段“She eventually secured a contract (合同) for The SalviSoul Cookbook from Ten Speed Press, an imprint of Penguin Random House.(她最终从企鹅兰登书屋旗下的十速出版社获得了The SalviSoul Cookbook的合同)”可知，Vasquez创立了SalviSoul平台，并且成功地将这一概念转化为一本包含家庭食谱和故事的烹饪书，这表明她是有创造力和有决心的。故选A。 76．推理判断题。根据第二段“Her idea became SalviSoul, a platform launched in 2015 to preserve her traditional food culture through stories, cooking classes and recipes.

He attended the University of Louisville for both bachelor’s and master’s degrees, but in 1962 moved to Washington, D．C．, where he lived and had his studio for the rest of his life. He became one of the leading artists of the Washington Color School — a 1950s movement that attached great importance to large fields of color. He was interested in freeing his paintings from the limit of canvases (画布) and frames. Instead, in his Drape works of the 1960s, he took unstretched canvases and hung them from ceilings or pinned (固定) them in great waterfalls to walls. Each time his work — part painting, part sculpture — was shown in an exhibition, it hung differently, never the same way twice. In a 2018 Morning Edition profile, Gilliam explained that the intention behind his Drape work was “to develop the idea of movement into shapes” — and that he was inspired by laundry (洗衣店) hanging from a clothesline. His work is represented in the collections of some of the world’s most celebrated museums, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Museum of Modern Art in New York. In 2015, he was awarded the U. S. State Department’s Medal of Arts Lifetime Achievement Award. In the 2018 Morning Edition profile, the then 84-year-old Gilliam said that he felt that he was in his prime, despite health challenges. “I’ve never felt better in my life. I stopped drinking. I stopped smoking. I live for this period of being in the studio and actually working.” 77．What do we know about Gilliam? A．He leads a 1950s movement. B．He stresses the large areas of color. C．He has a deep interest in the canvas. D．He likes to exhibit his paintings himself. 78．What causes Gilliam to hang his paintings unusually? A．A detail in daily life. B．His strange imagination. C．His attention to paintings. D．An idea of movement. 79．What can we infer about Gilliam in the last paragraph? A．He feels bad in his life. B．He makes a living by painting. C．He loves painting deeply. D．Smoking and drinking are his favorite. 80．In which section of a newspaper may this text appear? A．Entertainment. B．Health. C．History. D．Art. 【答案】77．B 78．A 79．C 80．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了著名艺术家Gilliam的一生及其在艺术领域中所取得的成绩。 【详解】77．细节理解题。根据第一段中“He became one of the leading artists of the Washington Color School — a 1950s movement that attached great importance to large fields of color.”（他成为了华盛顿色彩学派的主要艺术家之一——这是一个20世纪50年代的运动，非常重视大面积的色彩。）可知，Gilliam是华盛顿色彩学派的主要艺术家之一，非常重视大面积的色彩，故选B项。 78．细节理解题。根据第二段中“Each time his work — part painting, part sculpture — was shown in an exhibition, it hung differently, never the same way twice.”（每次他的作品——部分是绘画，部分是雕塑——在展览中展出时，它都以不同的方式悬挂，从来不会以相同的方式悬挂两次。）和第三段中“Gilliam explained that the intention behind his Drape work was “to develop the idea of movement into shapes” — and that he was inspired by laundry (洗衣店) hanging from a clothesline.”（Gilliam解释说，他的Drape作品的意图是“将运动的理念发展成形状”——他的灵感来自于晾衣绳上挂着的刚洗好的衣物。）可知，是日常生活中的细节激发了Gilliam的灵感，让他以不同寻常的方式悬挂画作。故选A项。 79．推理判断题。根据最后一段中Gilliam的话“I’ve never felt better in my life. I stopped drinking. I stopped smoking. I live for this period of being in the studio and actually working.”（我一生中从未感觉如此好过。我不喝酒了。我不抽烟了。我活着就是为了这段在画室里实际工作的时光。）可知，在画室里画画是Gilliam的全部，他深爱着绘画。故选C项。 80．推理判断题。根据第一段中“He became one of the leading artists of the Washington Color School — a 1950s movement that attached great importance to large fields of color.”（他成为了华盛顿色彩学派的主要艺术家之一——这是一个20世纪50年代的运动，非常重视大面积的色彩。）和下文内容可知，文章介绍了艺术家Gilliam的生平、创作理念以及他的作品在世界知名博物馆的收藏情况，由此可知，文章话题与艺术相关，很可能出现在报纸的“艺术”版面。故选D项。 2 / 40 1 / 40 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 专题02 阅读理解（记叙文） 主题01 人与自然 Passage 1 （2025高二下·云南普洱·期末） Raised on the farm, Padma Suresh had a love for agriculture just like her father. Young Padma would spend most of her evening after school in the fields, learning the art of organic farming. After moving to the city, she began missing the farm. Faced with the limited space, Padma felt the absence of fresh vegetables. Besides, she was disappointed with the taste and quality of shop-bought vegetables. Because chemicals used on vegetables were harmful to human health, she finally decided to take matters into her own hands and change her yard into a vegetable garden. Now 48, Padma has devoted the past 12 years to developing a garden with 200 plants of 20 varieties of vegetables. She relies on natural fertilizers (肥料). Additionally, she uses creative organic farming methods like preparing liquid fertilizers from fish. Her husband Suresh Ettan, who is now working in an oil and gas company, said, “As I don’t eat meat, I have limited food choices in the city. Now every morning, my wife sends me a good breakfast. Apart from that, she also shares the photos of her day’s harvest. I take pride in showing those photos to my colleagues.” For Padma, the garden has become a source of joy and also a link to her rural roots. Padma says she finds connection to her village through the traditional recipes and taste of homegrown vegetables. More importantly, by growing her own food, the gardener has not only found a way to provide a supply of organic vegetables to her family but also a way to earn some money. Earning money was what she didn’t expect. Padma says she has a small shop where she sells extra vegetables. Within an hour, all her vegetables are sold out. This organic farming business earns her up to Rs 1,000. 1．When did Padma develop her love for organic farming? A．After she moved to the city. B．When she helped on the farm. C．After she graduated from school. D．When she lacked fresh vegetables. 2．Which words can best describe Padma? A．Warm-hearted and confident. B．Generous and gifted. C．Creative and hard-working. D．Responsible and organized. 3．How does Suresh Ettan feel about his wife’s farm? A．The farm makes his life busy. B．The farm offers him rich food. C．The farm costs lots of his money.

D．A connection with her hometown. Passage 2 （2025高二下·云南红河·期末） Mariangela Hungria, a microbiologist in Brazil, spent decades looking for bacteria (细菌) in the soil that could act like fertilizer (肥料), boosting farmers' harvests. But she faced a lot of skepticism. When she started her career, everybody was like, “She is crazy! She will never succeed. ” But today, her work was rewarded with the World Food Prize, which recognizes advances in agriculture. Hungria's love of science was lit in childhood thanks to her grandmother, who taught her about backyard plants and the soil that fed them. “One day, she gave me a book. It was about the life of microbiologists. After reading it, I announced to my family that I would become a microbiologist, ” Hungria recalls. Later, she got her Ph. D．from the Federal Rural University and went to work for the Brazilian Agricultural Research Corporation (Embrapa) in 1982. She followed in the footsteps of another pioneer of Brazilian science, Johanna Döbereiner, who had begun hunting for bacteria that could boost the productivity of crops. Hungria's biological seed and soil treatments enable wheat, corn and other major crops, including soybeans — Brazil's top agricultural export — to source nutrients through soil bacteria, significantly boosting crop yields (产量), reducing the need for chemical fertilizers as well as lowering greenhouse gas emissions (排放). Over Hungria's 40-year career with Embrapa, Brazil's soybean production has increased from 15 million tons in 1979 to an anticipated 173million tons in the coming harvest, the World Food Prize Foundation said. Hungria said, “I always believe that it is possible to achieve high yields necessary to relieve world hunger, but in a sustainable way, preserving the planet. ” She wants to see women taking a bigger role. “Women are more likely to shift the focus of farming toward environmental sustainability. Caring for land that's already been claimed rather than trying to clear more. Focusing not only on the size of the harvest but also on which crops deliver better nutrition”, says she. And Hungria adds she'll use the cash she has won to fund a new award that will recognize women who are working in agriculture, microbiology, communications or for the benefit of people with special needs. 5．What does the underlined word “skepticism” in paragraph 1 mean? A．Doubt. B．Envy. C．Blame. D．Abuse. 6．What inspired Hungria to be a microbiologist? A．Her academic experience. B．Work in Embrapa. C．Her grandmother's impact. D．Guidance from Johanna. 7．What function do Hungria's biological treatments have? A．Decreasing the productivity of soybeans. B．Generating more greenhouse gas emissions. C．Increasing farmers' dependence on chemicals. D．Boosting nutrients uptake through soil bacteria. 8．What can be inferred from Hungria's words? A．Ecological health outweighs maximum yields. B．Funding new awards for women is meaningless. C．Sustainable practices will lead to lower harvests. D．Involving women in farming makes a difference. 主题02 人与社会 Passage 3 （2025高二下·云南玉溪·期末） Just three months before her 50th birthday, legendary gymnast Oksana Chusovitina proved once again that age is just a number. The eight-time Olympian from Uzbekistan earned gold in vault (跳马) at the World Cup in Baku on March 8. Chusovitina shared her joy on social media, “For the first time this year, I successfully performed the Tsukahara vault (冢原跳) with a difficulty score of 4.8 in competition. I am very glad with my performance.” Her victory in Baku marks another milestone in her remarkable career. On Feb. 19, she announced her return to competition to qualify for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. She made her comeback at the Cottbus World Cup in Germany in February, where she harvested a bronze medal in vault.

Passage 4 （2025高二下·云南昭通·期末） Debra Ferrell got the standard well wishes on Facebook on her 53rd birthday, but she got some unusual messages too. One was about a family in Minnesota who had just lost their four-year-old son to cancer. His older autistic (患自闭症的) brother was especially sad. Could Ferrell help? That message and the 30 or so others like it were what Ferrell was looking for. To celebrate her 53rd, the longtime social servicewoman had put out a call on her Facebook page. She wanted to complete 53 acts of kindness by the end of her birth month, and she needed information on people who could use one. When she got the note about the Minnesota family, she sent a wind chime (风铃) with the message “Listen to the wind and know that I am near.” It now hangs in the four-year-old’s bedroom, where his brother can go to listen to it whenever he wants. This is not the first time that Ferrell has decided to give gifts for her birthday. For her 47th, she set up Love With Skin On, an organization focusing on doing good acts near her home in Roanoke, Virginia, and other places. Over the years, Ferrell has reached out and touched well over 100 strangers. In another act of giving, she shares her favorite inexpensive and creative gift ideas on Pinterest for others to use. Ferrell pays for everything herself: gift cards, pay-it-forward purchases at drive-throughs, and care packages. Her family often gives her some extra birthday cash with a warning not to spend it on anyone else, which she naturally ignores. “I got a couple of Amazon gift cards for my birthday this year and was like ’YESSS!’” It’s Ferrell’s party, and she’ll give if she wants to. 13．What happened to the family in Minnesota?

Life was relatively normal until the last year when my older brother died of a rare disease. I locked myself in the high-ceiled classrooms and spent hours trying to figure out the shades of green in trees, and how words might fill my life blanks. Writing was all I had. Poetry got me out of bed at dawn and cured my pain. Then graduation came. After learning that to be a proper housewife was all the future I would hold, I boarded the city bus to the next state and announced I wanted to go to college. With no money but excellent academic performance and student editor experience, I got admitted. I published my first piece in the student literary magazine. I wrote and kept writing till I landed a job and got married. My poems got published often, and won small but significant awards until I discovered I couldn’t do two things at once and do both well. I would either write full time and starve or work full time and invest in family. With much regret, I resigned (辞职) as a small-press poetry editor, left my works on the shelves and only wrote occasionally in spare notebooks. I started every new year in expectation of a comeback because poems were in my blood. My retiring years found me resolved to regain the only thing I had always wanted to do: writing poems. I dug out the notebooks, edited and re-edited. Dusty drafts changed with time into poems. It dawned on me that I never stopped writing poems, I was a poet and life itself was poetry.

Laura is the founder of Sydney by Kayak, a company that offers guided kayak (皮艇) tours of Sydney Harbor (海港) in Australia. Not only did their business not decrease during the pandemic, but one of their tours is actually more popular than ever. A few years ago, Laura was paddling in the harbor when she noticed trash (垃圾) floating in the water. For reference, the United Nations Environment Programme estimates that about 8 million tons of plastic end up in our oceans each year, causing big problems for wildlife. Laura was so appalled by the garbage in the water that she decided to dedicate a few paddles each week to trash cleanup. Incredibly, her clients were immediately on board with the idea, so Sydney by Kayak now leads four to five garbage-collecting tours every week! At the start of the pandemic, Laura assumed her business would drop off as many others had. Instead, desperate for purpose and a way to get outdoors, people went to her “Clean Up Kayak” tours. They now routinely take about 441 pounds of garbage out of the harbor each week! “We’ve been quite surprised, even through the pandemic, we’ve been very busy,” Laura said. “Because they can’t travel, people are looking for something to do, that is not just good for them, but also good for the environment.” Each tour begins with participants preparing a paddle, bucket, picker stick, and sieve (筛子). Some people come back multiple times for the satisfaction of collecting trash from the harbor. Julie Greening, for example, has done about 10 tours so far and says “every little bit is worth it”. “There’re 7 billion people on this planet, so everyone does a little, and of course it’s going to help,” she says. Fresh air, sunshine, exercise, good company, and a great cause: What else do you need? Laura has found on an incredible, pandemic-proof business idea that helps the earth as much as it helps participants. 25．Why is Laura’s business more popular during lockdown? A．Because her business is related to guided kayak tours. B．Because she helps tackle the litter problem in the oceans. C．Because she deals with the food problem for ocean wildlife. D．Because she has unique business skills compared to other businessmen. 26．What’s the meaning of the underlined word “appalled” in Paragraph 4? A．Shocked. B．Curious. C．Satisfied. D．Excited. 27．What qualities does Laura have according to the text? A．Caring and devoted. B．Active and gifted. C．Creative but selfish. D．Hard-working but mean. 28．Which can be a suitable title for the text? A．Sea Kayak Adventure Group B．Properly Maintain Your Kayak C．How to Clean the Outside of Your Kayak D．Kayakers Remove Trash from Sydney Harbor Passage 8 （2022高二下·云南文山·期末） Is there life elsewhere in the universe? This is a question that has confused mankind. A new discovery may have brought us one step closer to the truth. The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency’s (JAXA) probe (探测器) “Hayabusa 2” discovered “amino acids (氨基酸)” in sand samples brought back to Earth from the Ryugu asteroid (小行星), Japanese financial newspaper The Nikkei reported, marking the first time that amino acids have been discovered outside Earth. As amino acids combine to form proteins, the discovery could hold the clues to understanding the origins of life. Scientists have been analyzing 5.4 grams of rocky grains (颗粒) from Ryugu ever since the samples were returned to Earth in December 2020. Experts previously said the samples “are the most original material in the solar system we have ever studied”, according to the Daily Mail. The unprecedented discovery of multiple types of amino acids on an extraterrestrial (地球外的) body could even hint (暗示) at the existence of life outside of Earth, Kensei Kobayashi, told Kyodo News. It also means amino acids can likely be found on other planets and natural satellites, hinting that “life could have been born in more places in the universe than previously thought”, Kobayashi added. The Ryugu probe aims to illustrate the mysteries of the origin of life in the solar system and life. Amino acids are necessary for life. Although it is not known how the amino acids got to ancient Earth, one theory is that they came by meteorite (陨石), according to Japan Today. The latest discovery will likely reinforce this theory. But it might not be a big deal. “Simply having the basic ingredients for dough (面团) doesn’t mean it can lead to the creation of pizza. Similarly, discovering amino acids in space doesn’t necessarily prove the existence of life beyond our home planet,” China Daily reporter Zhang Zhihao commented on Twitter. NASA has a similar mission to asteroid Bennu. Its OSIRIS-REx probe has already collected samples and is expected to return to Earth with them sometime next year. By comparing the results of Ryugu’s sample material with samples collected from the asteroid Bennu, scientists will better understand the various chemical mixtures in the universe and how life began, according to Science and Technology Daily. 29．Why is the discovery of amino acids in space significant? A．It proves the existence of life beyond Earth. B．It deepens our understanding of amino acids. C．It could offer an insight into how life began. D．It could explain how the solar system was formed. 30．What is Kobayashi’s attitude toward the discovery? A．Positive. B．Disappointed. C．Doubtful. D．Worried. 31．What does the underlined word “reinforce” in Paragraph 7 probably mean? A．Conflict with. B．Provide support for. C．Cast doubt on. D．Focus on. 32．Why is the OSIRIS-REx probe mentioned? A．To propose another research method. B．To compare Ryugu with other asteroids. C．To show how scientists are testing the theory. D．To explain the significance of exploring life in space. 主题02 人与社会 Passage 9 （2025高二下·云南昭通·期末） When Randy Smalls found out that his daughter, ReOnna, was in a group of students who bullied a girl at school, he couldn’t bear to sit back. As someone all-too-familiar with being bullied, he felt they should say sorry to Ryan Reese, the girl who was getting picked on. And in doing so, he also found a way to teach his own daughter a lesson. He decided to help Ryan buy brand new clothes. ReOnna was upset, especially because she is into fashion. So Randy asked her to come with them and help pick out Ryan’s new clothes. Randy also took Ryan to get her hair done at a salon. Randy’s generosity became an inspiration. Several local salons also offered to help keep her looking beautiful in the months that followed. Upset as ReOnna was at first, the more time she spent with Ryan, the more she began to truly understand the importance of not bullying. Not only because it’s not okay to hurt others but because you never know what someone else is going through. For Ryan, that included losing her dad, grandpa, and aunt in a short period of time. “I wasn’t expecting it,” Ryan said. “I just started to cry. It really took me deeper down in my depression.” “As parents, we have to take responsibility for what our children do,” Randy said. “We can teach our children, but when they go and are around other children, something terrible may happen.

The story started when Giorgio Lo Porto heard his neighbor playing the piano through their dividing wall. Lo Porto, an Italian living in London, decided to reach out to his neighbor and left a note asking him or her to play My Heart Will Go On.

Passage 14 （2023高二下·云南大理·期末） While for many a chef, serving up the fanciest and most delicious meals is the final aim, Rudolf Brand has an extra mission: fighting food waste. He believes that with his dishes, he can have a big impact: not just on people’s taste buds (味蕾), but also on their way of thinking about food and food waste. With 22 years of experience, including Michelin⁃starred restaurants in London and Amsterdam,he has seen a lot of food wasted in his career.So what is the best way to prevent this? For him,it really comes down to one essential thing: “Rather than thinking about what new meals you want to cook,look at the remnants—what’s available,and then make a menu.This is what every chef should do.” He’s clear on his solution: “Lose that fanciness, and look at the quality of the product and the flavor,” Rudolf explains.“There are too many chefs who are trying to be too fancy.They want to have only the biggest sea fish no matter what.Or they make a dish with only the heart of the cabbage,only using the most delicate leaves and then they throw away the rest.” He shakes his head at the idea of such waste. He knows that one of his suppliers—a local farm—is left with a growing food mountain when top Michelin⁃starred chefs only buy the prized cuts of meat instead of ordering the entire leg.In just three or four weeks,the farm is left with 1,000 legs of lamb in the freezer.“And that’s just one supplier,” he says. While other chefs will only accept the best from their suppliers,if something is smaller or damaged or has a few black bits,Rudolf is still going to use it.“Just because I’ll accept produce of slightly lower quality it doesn’t mean I’m going to serve less quality.It’s my job to turn that into good⁃quality food on the plate,” he says. 53．What is special about Rudolf Brand’s dishes?

Like most families in China, he believed that his bloodline passes down through the male side. Because of China’s one-child policy, my mother wouldn’t have a second chance to have a boy. In keeping with the traditional family hierarchy(等级制度), my grandfather had the honor of naming me. He chose Xiǎoxiá which means “early morning light”—the time of my birth. “Xiá also shares the same character as Dānxiá Mountain, referring to the place where I was born.” But my parents didn’t like the name. They thought it sounded dull and it didn’t resonate with their expectations for me. As the eldest son, my dad performed his right to name me next, naming me Chénshī. The two characters together mean “an early morning poem.” It reflects a saying in China: There is bread and butter in life, but also poems and dreams. But in the Hakka dialect spoken by my family, the name sounded like the phrase for “a floating dead body.” On the third day after my birth, my mom decided on Shūrán. It stuck. My name means nature, comfort, and harmony. It means to go with the flow. She knew that I, as the only child, would carry the expectations of both sides of our families on my tiny shoulders and it would be difficult not to feel crushed by the weight of those expectations. Like my dad, she hoped that I would be able to freely pursue my dreams. She wanted me to become an independent and strong woman just like her. A month after I was born, she wrote an acrostic poem about my name and her wishes for me: A DIARY FOR MY DAUGHTER’S NAME As an ancestor of the Yellow Emperor Shuran follows the flow with a clear mind and bright eyes She will become beautiful and look just like Xī Shí When she grows up, she will be a great success and do great things 57．What can be inferred about the author’s grandfather?

But little by little, Chinese diners, and a few Americans came regularly. Overnight, the tables filled and became a huge success. Ms. Chiang enjoyed many extraordinary honors. In 2013, when she was 93, she received the long overdue Lifetime Achievement Award from the James Beard Awards, known as the “Culinary Oscars” at New York’s Lincoln Center.

She is mostly known for making hospitals a cleaner and safer place to be. Although her parents were from England, Florence Nightingale was born in 1820 in Italy while they were traveling. Growing up in a wealthy family, Florence Nightingale was homeschooled by her father and expected to get married at a young age. However, Nightingale believed she received a “calling” from God to help the poor and the sick. Despite the initial disapproval, her father eventually allowed her to go to Germany and then Paris to study. By the time she was 33, Nightingale was already making a name for herself in the nursing community. When the Crimean War began in 1854, the British, with the lack of medical supplies, overcrowding, and dirty conditions, were unprepared to deal with a large number of sick and injured soldiers. The Secretary of War, Sidney Herbert asked Nightingale to manage a group of nurses that would go to treat the wounded soldiers. When they got there, the doctors were unwelcoming because they did not want to work with female nurses. However, as the number of patients increased, the doctors needed their help. The nurses brought supplies, nutritious food and cleanliness to the military hospital. Nightingale was known for carrying a lamp and checking on the soldiers at night, so they gave her the nickname “the Lady with the Lamp”. Within six months, Nightingale and her team transformed the hospital, and the death rate went down significantly because of their work. When Nightingale returned from the war, she continued to improve the conditions of hospitals. She wrote 150 books, pamphlets (小册子), and reports on health-related issues.

Passage 18 （2024高二下·云南昭通·期末） In 2019, an unassuming package arrived at my front door. Inside was a 2-by-4-foot scrapbook (剪贴簿) filled with precious candy wrappers over 70 years old. Why was it sent to me? I’m the founder of the Candy Wrapper Museum, my online “roadside attraction”. I was 15 years old when I started collecting. At that time many friends had cool collections like beer bottles. I wanted to start my own, but of what? I usually spent my few coins on candies. The candy shelves were a wonderland of tasty treats with colorful wrappers and names. Then inspiration struck. Instead of throwing the wrappers away, I would save them. I would create the Candy Wrapper Museum, where I imagined that they would one day be enjoyed as art and humor after I retire. In 2002, inspiration struck again. Why wait until retirement? Why not open the museum right now on the internet, the ultimate “superhighway”? Building the online museum was a massive six-month, one-person project. First, I sorted roughly 650 of my favorite wrappers into themes such as: Celebrities, Classics, Holidays, Big Eats, and No Fun. I scanned everything that was flat, photographed the rest, scanned the prints, cleaned all the now-digital images, then wrote lighthearted comments to provide each visitor with my personal tour. Then, I bought a book on how to write HTML and built the site myself. When it was launched in 2002, I had no expectations. Would anyone even be interested in this strange hobby? To my surprise, without any promotion, the site went viral (走红), even getting selected as Yahoo’s “Funny Site of the Week”. The sudden burst of popularity inspired some comments, like, “A candy wrapper museum? Now we’ve heard everything.” But mostly people wrote in to thank me, sharing how the sight of a long-gone favorite candy bar reminded them of their childhood memories. This is when I knew I was doing something important. We think of collections as “things,” but we also collect special moments that may not stay front of mind, but never fade from our hearts. To this day people turn to me, hoping I can help uncover connections to cherished memories around candies from their past. 69．What gave the author the idea of collecting? A．She got inspired by her friends’ hobby. B．She wanted to record the candy history. C．She saw the candy wrapper as a reminder.

It was at the moment that Vasquez determined to do something to safeguard her culture. Her idea became SalviSoul, a platform (平台) launched in 2015 to preserve her traditional food culture through stories, cooking classes and recipes.

Passage 20 （2024高二下·云南普洱·期末） Gilliam was born in Tupelo, Mississippi, in 1933 as the seventh child of eight to a father who worked on the railroad and a homemaking mother. He attended the University of Louisville for both bachelor’s and master’s degrees, but in 1962 moved to Washington, D．C．, where he lived and had his studio for the rest of his life. He became one of the leading artists of the Washington Color School — a 1950s movement that attached great importance to large fields of color. He was interested in freeing his paintings from the limit of canvases (画布) and frames. Instead, in his Drape works of the 1960s, he took unstretched canvases and hung them from ceilings or pinned (固定) them in great waterfalls to walls. Each time his work — part painting, part sculpture — was shown in an exhibition, it hung differently, never the same way twice. In a 2018 Morning Edition profile, Gilliam explained that the intention behind his Drape work was “to develop the idea of movement into shapes” — and that he was inspired by laundry (洗衣店) hanging from a clothesline. His work is represented in the collections of some of the world’s most celebrated museums, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Museum of Modern Art in New York. In 2015, he was awarded the U. S. State Department’s Medal of Arts Lifetime Achievement Award. In the 2018 Morning Edition profile, the then 84-year-old Gilliam said that he felt that he was in his prime, despite health challenges. “I’ve never felt better in my life. I stopped drinking.
