Ⅰ.阅读理解(每小题2.5分,共20分)
(2026·南昌市高三模拟测试)
Genres(体裁) are often viewed as structural frameworks for literary texts,onto which elements like imagery,characters,plot,and settings are layered. These frameworks are passed down through generations,evolving(演变) over time.
Among all genres,the novel received the most critical attention in the twentieth century,often praised as the “king of genres” due to its reflection on the real world. Yet,in the nineteenth century,it was primarily seen as a form of middle-class entertainment. It was not until the twentieth century that the novel was lifted to the status of an art form,joining in the same league as painting or classical music. Later on,many scholars successively studied the characteristics of novels from the 18th and 19th centuries.
Recently,in a book of Edwin Frank,Stranger Than Fiction,he raises an appealing question: Is there such a thing as a “twentieth-century novel”? Is it meaningful to distinguish the twentieth-century novel from its nineteenth-century predecessor—or even from the novel of the twenty-first century? Frank thinks so. In his book,he illustrates how the twentieth-century novel matures into a distinct literary genre. The twentieth century was a period of violent change;therefore,violent change is what the twentieth-century novel reflects—not,or not only,in its subject matter but in its form. Frank suggests that,modern as the twentieth-century novel is,it shows the cultural relevance to development of societies.
However,that relevance seems to have waned. Today,the novel no longer holds a central place in the cultural conversation. People’s daily question has shifted from “What are you reading?” to “What are you streaming?” Television series have emerged as the dominant form of middle-class entertainment in the twenty-first century.
Has prestige television reshaped the role of the novel? Many nineteenth-century novels gain vitality in the twentieth century through film adaptations. Henry James,for example,would likely be pleased to know that The Portrait of a Lady has been adapted into a miniseries,a feature film,and even a television version—each reaching a far larger audience than the original print edition could ever have hoped for.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了小说这一文学体裁因其对现实世界的反映在二十世纪备受关注,Edwin Frank在其书《Stranger Than Fiction》中探讨了二十世纪小说的演变和独特性。如今,小说在文化对话中不再占据中心地位,电影、电视等大众传播媒介为小说注入了新的活力。
1.Why did the novel gain recognition in the twentieth century?
A.It mirrored its link with reality.
B.It was written in amusing forms.
C.It displayed attractive characters.
D.It was authored by the middle class.
答案 A [细节理解题。根据第二段的“Among all genres...due to its reflection on the real world.”可知,在所有体裁中,小说在二十世纪受到了最重要的关注,因其对现实世界的反映而被誉为“体裁之王”。由此可知,小说在二十世纪获得认可的原因是它反映了与现实的联系,故选 A。mirror在此作动词,意为“反映 ”,与文中的reflection对应,选项中的reality与文中的“the real world”对应。]
2.Which aspect of the twentieth-century novel does Stranger Than Fiction focus on?
A.Its rise and fall.
B.Its expansion and effect.
C.Its significance and limitation.
D.Its evolution and uniqueness.
答案 D [推理判断题。根据题干中的“Stranger Than Fiction”将答案定位在第三段。根据该段的“In his book,he illustrates how...into a distinct literary genre.”可知,该书阐述了二十世纪小说如何发展为一种独特的文学体裁,即二十世纪小说的演变过程;再根据该段的“The twentieth century was a period of violent change...relevance to development of societies.”可知,该书还关注了二十世纪小说的独特性。故选D。]
3.What does the underlined word “waned” in paragraph 4 mean?
A.Varied. B.Weakened.
C.Peaked. D.Remained.
答案 B [词义猜测题。画线词前的“that relevance”指代第三段尾句的“the cultural relevance to development of societies”,即小说与社会发展的文化相关性。根据第四段的“Today,the novel no longer holds a central place in the cultural conversation.”和“Television series have emerged...in the twenty-first century.”可知,如今,小说在文化对话中不再占据中心位置,电视连续剧已成为二十一世纪中产阶级娱乐的主要形式。由此可推知,此处表示小说与社会发展的文化相关性似乎减弱了,故画线词与B项的意思最为接近。C项的peak在此作动词,意为“达到顶峰,达到最高水平”。]
4.What does the example of The Portrait of a Lady indicate?
A.Novels lose their artistic appeal.
B.Adaptations decrease novels’ status.
C.The media breathe new life into novels.
D.TV shows change the role of novels.
答案 C [推理判断题。最后一段的“Many nineteenth-century novels gain vitality in the twentieth century through film adaptations.”表明许多十九世纪的小说在二十世纪通过电影改编而焕发活力。接着作者以《The Portrait of a Lady》这本小说为例,说明它被改编成多种形式,且每一种形式都比原著更受观众欢迎,借此证明电影、电视等大众传播媒介为小说注入了新的活力,故选C。]

Writer Shan Xiaohua was meditating with her pen in hand in a room.Ma Jun was leaning back with a relaxed expression on his face,exploring the world of literature with his cellphone.In a shop,blind writer Zhao Ling was listening to classic works with customers while working...These scenes take place in Xiji county,a mountainous area in southern Ningxia.It has won the name Hometown of Literature.
Historically speaking,the region has deep roots in it.The Xihaigu area was once a passage along the Silk Road,with active exchanges and diverse folk arts such as folk singing Hua’er,storytelling and Qinqiang Opera,as well as events like blessing events during the Spring Festival.For thousands of years,diverse cultures have integrated with each other,creating a unique humanistic atmosphere here,which influenced and guided people born and raised here to turn their thoughts about the land,nation,homeland and themselves into words on the page.
Reality has always been a source of inspiration.Considered as“one of the most unfit places for human settlement” by the UN in the 1970s,Xihaigu once had nothing but the poor land,droughts and a delicate ecological environment.People living here had no choice but to suffer the hardships of life.It was literature that gave them strength.
Clean and tidy roads,public squares with well-equipped facilities,academies full of books,factories with orderly production...Great changes have taken place in Xihaigu.In the past,poverty stopped people from writing as they struggled to feed themselves first.Now,writing reflects their ambitions.More people can create literary works.Here,the flowers of literature bloom everywhere;here,literature is the land that grows the best crops.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了“文学之乡”宁夏西吉县。
5.Why are the scenes described in the first paragraph?
A.To show writing is easy to master.
B.To describe the locals’ love for writing.
C.To introduce some writers in Xiji county.
D.To compare the situation in different times.
答案 B [推理判断题。文章第一段描述了作家单小花手握钢笔,在房间里沉思;作家马俊一脸轻松地向后倚靠着,用手机探索文学世界;盲人作家赵玲一边工作,一边和顾客一起聆听经典作品。这些场景均发生在“文学之乡”宁夏西吉县。由此可推知,这些场景向读者展示了西吉人对写作的热爱,故选B。]
6.Which best describes the typical feature of Xihaigu area according to paragraph 2?
A.Culturally rich.
B.Socially unstable.
C.Historically important.
D.Geographically diverse.
答案 A [推理判断题。第二段讲西海固地区曾是丝绸之路的一条通道,这里交流活动频繁,民间艺术丰富多样;几千年来,多元文化相互交融,在这里营造出独特的人文氛围,这种氛围影响并引导着在这土生土长的人们将他们对土地、民族、家乡以及自身的思考化为笔下的文字。由此可知,文化丰富是西海固地区的典型特征,故选A。]
7.What did literature mean for people in Xiji county in the past?
A.The recording of hardships.
B.Spiritual support.
C.The expression of thankfulness.
D.Contact with the outside.
答案 B [细节理解题。第三段讲20世纪70年代,西海固被联合国认定为最不适宜人类居住的地区之一,那时西海固只有贫瘠的土地、干旱的气候和脆弱的生态环境,生活在这里的人们只能承受生活的艰辛,是文学赋予了他们力量。由此可知,在过去,文学对西吉县的人民意味着精神支持,故选B。]
8.What does this text mainly talk about?
A.The pursuits of people in Xiji county.
B.The cultural significance of Xiji county.
C.The power of literature for people in Xiji county.

Ⅱ.完形填空(每小题1分,共15分)
(2026·杭州市高三年级第二学期教学质量检测)
I remember opening my iPad one day in fifth grade,inspired by a lighthearted conversation with my cousin about scary stories. Hours later,I had 1 my first short story. Writing 2 became a beloved hobby,but as I grew older,the 3 began to fade. I started reading more books,encountering critiques online,and comparing my work to others. Self-doubt crept in,and what once felt like a creative outlet became a source of 4 . I felt I had to be “good” at writing to share it.
This 5 happens often. Hobbies start as a form of 6 ,a way to relax ourselves. Yet,over time,societal pressures to 7 can change how we view them. Whether it’s painting,playing an instrument,or any other 8 ,there’s an expectation to perform at a high level. When we don’t meet that standard,the joy fades,replaced by feelings of inadequacy.
For me,writing has been the one hobby I’ve regularly returned to, 9 moments of self-doubt. I’ve taken creative writing classes and seen significant improvement,but the constant 10 for perfection turns writing from a 11 into a chore. I’ve come to realize that this mindset 12 me of the joy I once found in it.
We need to recognize that it’s 13 not to be great at something. Perfection is often 14 ,and more often than not,we are our toughest critics. The challenge,then,is finding the balance between enjoyment and 15 . Embrace imperfection,and enjoy the process,even if you’re not “great” at it.

(connect)to the audience,”Fukuda remarked.“Although I don’t know them,I felt like that our message 10. (receive)by them.”
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要介绍了美国One Voice儿童合唱团在天坛演唱中文歌曲《如愿》一事。
1.passers-by [考查名词的单复数。分析句子结构可知,空处是and连接的第二个分句的主语,根据谓语动词were可知,此处的主语应该是复数,所以填passers-by。句意:“如果说,你曾苦过我的甜,我愿活成你的愿……”《如愿》的合唱声在天坛响起,路人惊讶地发现,演唱这首中文歌曲的竟是一支美国合唱团——One Voice儿童合唱团。]
2.infectious [考查词性转换。分析句子结构可知,空处修饰空后的名词singing需要用形容词,所以填infectious“富有感染力的”。句意:他们富有感染力的演唱被录制成了一段视频,并迅速在社交媒体上走红。]
3.subsequently [考查词性转换。分析句子结构可知,空处修饰空后的动词spread,需要用副词,所以填subsequently“随后,后来”。句意:One Voice合唱团的指挥Fukuda介绍说,人们围过来的时候他们只是在随意演唱,而这段视频后来在网上传播开了。]
4.to [考查介词。结合句意“尽管文化不同,我们仍然可以对那些同样的信息感同身受”可知,空处考查固定短语relate to“与……产生共鸣”,所以填to。]
5.what [考查状语从句。分析句子结构可知,I hope后面整体上是一个宾语从句。根据空前的no matter和空后的句子成分可知,空处和空前的no matter引导让步状语从句,从句中缺少宾语,根据语境“不管人们正在经历什么”可知,此处表示“什么”,所以填what。]
6.consists [考查动词的时态和主谓一致。分析句子结构可知,主语是The choir,空处在句中作谓语。结合语境“合唱团是由一群孩子组成的”可知,本句在介绍客观情况,时态用一般现在时;consist of无被动形式,且主语The choir是第三人称单数。所以填consists。句意:这个合唱团肩负着用孩子们的声音鼓舞世界的使命,它由一群在2002年盐湖城冬奥会演唱时相识的孩子组成。]
7.a [考查冠词。分析句子结构可知,空处与空后的signature song of them为本句的表语,空处需要用冠词修饰名词song。结合句意“除了《如愿》,《明天会更好》也是他们的一个代表曲目”可知,此处表示泛指,且signature的发音以辅音音素开头,所以填a。]
8.waving [考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,本句的谓语动词是teared,空处和teared之间没有连词,因此,空处在句中作非谓语,与主语Fukuda and the children之间形成了逻辑上的主谓关系,所以填waving。句意:在他们在中国的最后一场演出中,Fukuda和孩子们热泪盈眶,不断地向观众挥手道别。]
9.connected [考查词性转换。feel connected to意为“感到与……有联系”,所以填connected。句意:Fukuda说:“中国人的热烈欢迎让我们深受感动。我真切地感受到了与观众之间的情感共鸣。”]
10.was received [考查动词的时态、语态和主谓一致。分析句子结构可知,空处作宾语从句的谓语。根据语境和空后的by them可知,此处语态为被动;本句是对他们最后一次演出的评论,因此,此处讲的应该是发生在过去的动作,故用一般过去时;主语our message是第三人称单数。所以填was received。句意:虽然我并不认识他们,但我觉得我们传达的心意被他们接收了。]
