I looked pointedly at the bookshelf that held at least three dictionaries, and Kevin sighed dramatically. “Can’t you just use your phone?” he asked. Suddenly it occurred to me that he did not even know how to use a dictionary. I took down one of the dictionaries, and we read it together for a few minutes before I handed it to him. It took him a few tries to find the word in question. While going through the pages, he kept saying, wide-eyed: “How can there be this many words?” After a while, he looked at me and asked, “Do you know all these words, Mom?” I smiled, “I definitely do not know all these words,” I said. “But that’s why this is one of my favorite books.” I had my first dictionary as a gift for my 13th birthday. I decided that I wanted to learn as many words as I could and started marking every entry I looked up with a pencil to measure my progress. I continued to make these pencil marks for years, and when I went off to college, I packed that dictionary in my suitcase. Kevin wanted to see the dictionary. I felt a small pain in my chest. The dictionary was stolen at the end of my freshman year of college. “That’s so sad,” he said, “but you still know all those words, even without the book.” I realized that this was true. I still made it through the next three years of college, even without the book. And it wasn’t, ultimately, the dictionary that got me there — not really. Now I understand that although my son may be learning differently, he is still learning. It’s not about the words themselves or how we learn them, but the wanting to know them, the curiosity and the appetite. 24. What does Kevin usually do to get the meaning of a word? A. Use electronic devices. B. Consult a paper dictionary. B. Guess from the context. D. Turn to his English teacher. 25. How did Kevin feel while looking up the word in the dictionary? A. Annoyed. B. Disappointed. C. Encouraged. D. Astonished. 26. What can we learn about the author’s first dictionary? A. It helped her through college. B. It was given to Kevin as a gift. B. It bore witness to her efforts. D. It was a valuable limited edition. 27. What has the author come to realize about learning? A. It is never too late to start. B. Motivation is what really matters. C. Children need role models. D. Dictionaries are still a useful tool. 语篇解读 主旨概要 本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了作者在要求儿子查阅纸质词典时，回忆起了自己青少年时期通过标记词典努力学习的往事。作者最终意识到，学习的关键不在于工具或知识本身，而在于内心对知识的好奇心与渴望。 原文出处 选自美国知名人文综合刊物《The American Scholar》官方网站于2024年1月18日发表的名为Hey Siri, Call Webster 的文章 百科知识 深度阅读益处：多项研究表明，深度阅读经典书籍有助于提高大脑的认知能力、增强记忆力和专注力。例如，阅读文学名著可以让读者体验不同的人生和文化，培养同理心和情感智力。 语言知识 重难单词 pointedly adv. 刻意地 dramatically adv. 夸张做作地 hand v.

But that’s not the thing he prides himself on. “I am the last original client of Frank Lloyd Wright, still living in the home he designed for me,” Reisley said, sitting in the bright open living room of the home designed by the famous architect. The house where Reisley has lived for 73 years is located in the woods of Westchester County, New York, just 30 miles north of Manhattan. It’s one of 47 that make up the peaceful mid-20th-century modern village of Usonia. Back in 1951, Reisley was just 26, newly married and ready to put down roots. He and his wife began looking for a place in Manhattan. But what they liked, they couldn’t afford on his sound engineer’s salary and what they could, they didn’t like. Then they heard about Usonia. On their first trip out, they were greeted with such enthusiasm from the 10 families who’d already established homes there that they decided to join. The house has signature Wright features. It is made with local materials, has a flat roof, wood paneling, concrete floors and custom-made furniture. Over the decades, Reisley has opened his doors to visitors. The house is now listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Reisley said he’s tried his best to be a good steward (管家) not just of the Wright creation he lives in, but all others as well. He co-founded the Frank Lloyd Wright Building Conservancy, an organization engaged in the preservation of all of Wright’s remaining buildings. Reisley believes that his devotion to the home and the community are what have kept him in such good health all of these years. 24. How does Reisley feel about having Wright as his house designer? A. Honored. B. Amused. C. Stressed. D. Inspired. 25. What made Reisley finally decide to settle down in Usonia? A. Its natural environment. B. Its large-sized houses. C. The convenience of its location. D. The warmth of its residents. 26. What can we learn about Reisley’s house? A. It is older than its owner. B. It uses local materials. C. It has a pointed roof. D. It is put up for sale. 27. What can be inferred about Reisley from the last paragraph? A. He is very attached to Wright buildings. B. He is devoted to health education. C. He is an expert in home decoration. D. He is passionate about tourism. 语篇解读 主旨概要 本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了一位百岁老人Roland Reisley 作为著名建筑师 Frank Lloyd Wright唯一在世的原始住户，在其设计的房屋中居住73年、悉心守护房屋，并联合成立建筑保护组织、传承Wright建筑遗产的故事。 原文出处 选自NPR(美国全国公共广播电台)网站上2025年7月23日刊登的一篇名为 Whar's it like to have Frank Lloyd Wright design pour house?

Often students come to the classroom believing that learning can’t be fun and that what they learn isn’t relevant to the real world — much less to their personal interests. I’ve discovered that if I show students how what they learn is relevant to my hobbies, they’re much more willing to make connections to their personal interests and develop their own hobbies. No matter what subject I’m teaching, I find ways to bring my hobbies into the classroom. For example, I’m a car enthusiast, so when I teach physics, I contextualize concepts with my knowledge about cars. If we’re covering friction, for example, I bring different tires (轮胎) into my classroom so that my students can conduct lab experiments with them to see how friction works in real-life applications. When I first brought my hobbies to my classroom, I was focused on how doing so would build engagement and help my students understand concepts in science. But I quickly learned that the practice also helped me build stronger relationships with them. When I let them see an aspect of my life outside of school, some students who were also interested in cars connected with me more and became more engaged in my courses. Even those who didn’t share that interest with me seemed more engaged once I showed a different side of myself. What started as an experiment is now more of a philosophy. Even when I’m planning classes, I tend to think about how I can bring in my hobbies. I find that doing so energizes my instruction, engages my students, and demonstrates to them how abstract concepts play out in the real world. Best of all, my passion for my hobbies seems to inspire them to be passionate about finding their own. 24．What poses a challenge to teachers according to the author? A．Students’ misunderstandings about teachers. B．Students’ false assumptions about learning. C．The irrelevance of textbooks to students’ life. D．The gap between teachers’ and students’ hobbies. 25．Why does the author bring tires into the classroom? A．To teach an engineering skill. B．To explain the structure of a car. C．To share a real-life experience. D．To illustrate a scientific concept. 26．What was the unexpected outcome of the author’s teaching method? A．A higher class attendance rate. B．Better examination results. C．A closer teacher-student bond. D．More spare time for students. 27．Which of the following best describes the author as a teacher? A．Innovative. B．Humorous. C．Decisive. D．Sympathetic. Passage 2 （2025·全国一卷·阅读B） In my ninth-grade writing class last year, I met a cowboy who saved his town, a strict father who demanded his son earn straight A’s, and a modern-day Juliet who died of heartbreak after her parents rejected the love of her young life. More than once, I found myself wondering just how my students, who’d created these people, knew their subjects so well. But things were different for their first essay, which was about the question: “Why is writing important?” Most of the essays filled less than one page, and few contained a sentence that could be interpreted as a thesis (论点) statement. I was shocked. Then I realized that the problem was the question itself. They could have written pages on the necessity of computers, but writing, in and of itself, simply didn’t strike them as important. This would have to change. As a new unit started, I asked everyone to write a persuasive piece on a health-related topic of their choice. This time they found the exercise much more interesting. For the next two assignments, a personal-narrative unit followed by a creative-writing workshop, I only required that the piece meet the specifications of its genre (体裁) and that it contain a thesis. The results were staggering. The students took on diverse topics and turned in stories, 10 to 20 pages each, with characters that broadened my view and touched my heart. I walked into class believing that writing is important as a means of communication. However, my students demonstrated something more important to me. When the final bell rang in June, I walked away with a yearbook full of messages about writing’s most powerful significance — the ability to connect people, to put us in another’s skin, to teach us what it means to be human. 24. Who are the people mentioned at the beginning of paragraph 1? A. Ninth graders. B. Students’ parents. C. Modern writers. D. Fictional characters. 25. Why did the students perform poorly in writing their first essay? A. They were not given enough time. B. They had a very limited vocabulary. C. They misunderstood the question. D. They had little interest in the topic. 26. What does the underlined word “staggering” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Mixed. B. Amazing. C. Similar. D. Disturbing. 27 What does the author’s experience show? A. Teaching is learning. B. Still waters run deep. C. Knowledge is power. D. Practice makes perfect. Passage 3 （2025·北京高考·阅读B） Throughout our Junior year, my classmates and I have been worried about what colleges will see when they look at our whole life story reduced to a single 200-word essay. Will the golden word “success” form in their minds when they review our achievements? Or will they see the big word “fail” in red? The shadow of this mysterious (神秘的) institution steals away what success means to us. My first step of redefining success began with course registrations. It is a well-known fact, especially in my school, that Junior year is the time of packing many AP classes into the schedule. When asked why they chose so many AP classes, my friends responded: “I don’t know.” They themselves don’t know why they are following the crowd and longing for the pressures of academic difficulty. Therefore, they do not feel the satisfaction of being academically challenged. Completing many courses no longer brings out the feeling of success because more than four AP classes per year is a norm set by top universities. Determined to follow my instincts (本能) on what I felt success means, I only chose two classes that I knew I would enjoy. The feeling of success was no longer attached to what grade I received but to the pure joy of learning. Even my failures are attached to a feeling of success; after I take a step back and look at the big picture, I see them as a launching pad (平台) for my next big achievement. In the ninth grade, I went in for my first group interview for a leadership position as a shy girl. Not standing a chance against competitive applicants, I came out of the interview with an upset look. Nevertheless, this interview wasn’t a wasted opportunity. I talked to one of the senior applicants who answered questions in a way that reflected the faith she had in herself. This year, with an open mind and new knowledge in mind, I walked into another group interview while telling myself I was that cool senior. I managed to secure a leadership position. Ultimately, success came little by little. 24. Throughout the Junior year, what was the author’s major concern? A. Pressure from choosing AP classes. B. Performance in group interviews. C. Competition with seniors. D. Recognition by colleges. 25. The author chose fewer AP classes because of _______. A. her own understanding of success B. her desire for academic challenges C. her strong urge to follow the crowd D. her dream of entering a top university 26. Which would best describe the author’s first group interview? A Dignifying. B. Rewarding. C. Engaging. D. Relaxing. 27. What can we learn from this passage? A. Everyone is the maker of their own success. B. Success favours those with a golden heart. C. Success knocks at your door only once. D. A college holds the key to success. Passage 4 （2025·全国二卷·阅读B） Kathy Ho teaches high school inside Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital Stanford (LPCH). “Sometimes I don’t like saying that I’m a teacher,” says Ho. “People get in their minds an idea of what teachers do, but that’s not really what it is here.” “Here” is room 386, where each year, about 500 LPCH patients also become students. The hospital school is free of parents, doctors, and medical procedures. It’s a place of learning. About half of Ho’s students stay for a week or less; others are there for more than a year. Most of Ho’s students will recover, which means that preparing them to return to school is an increasingly important component of care. Still, in room 386, academics don’t come first. Physical health and mental health are the priority. “If you’re scared about something and thinking only about that, there’s no way you’re going to be able to learn,” Ho says. “I’m a coach, an adviser, and a comforter, and that’s what it means to be a hospital teacher.” There are up to 30 students at any given time in Ho’s class. She generally works with their regular teachers to get lessons and tests being used at their home schools. Some teachers don’t give the kids any assignments; they express sympathy instead. “I feel like it is a disservice to the kids,” Ho says. “They think their teachers don’t care about their schoolwork.” Ho recognizes the psychological benefit of helping kids keep up with their peers (同龄人) outside the hospital. “I actually think the medicine is only a small piece for some problems,” says Julie Good, director of pain management services at LPCH. “It’s about problem-solving around what it means to have a full life. Those kids have dreams. School can keep those dreams alive by giving kids a way to learn and grow.” 24. Who does Ho teach at LPCH? A. Sick children. B. Young nurses. C. Medical students. D. Patients’ parents. 25. What is a characteristic of Ho’s job? A. Prioritizing academics. B. Encouraging innovation. C. Treating various diseases. D. Playing multiple roles. 26. What does the underlined word “it” refer to in paragraph 4? A. Offering regular lessons. B. Paying extra attention. C. Assigning no schoolwork. D. Showing no sympathy. 27. How does the hospital school benefit the students according to Good? A. It eases peer pressure. B. It helps them live in hope. C. It frees them from aches. D. It entertains them with stories. 【文学艺术类】 Passage 1 （2024·北京高考·阅读B） When I was a little girl, I liked drawing, freely and joyously making marks on the walls at home. In primary school, I learned to write using chalks. Writing seemed to be another form of drawing. I shaped individual letters into repeating lines, which were abstract forms, delightful but meaningless patterns. In secondary school, art was my favourite subject. Since I loved it so much I thought I was good at it. For the art O-level exam I had to present an oil painting. I found it difficult, but still hoped to pass. I failed, with a low grade. I’d been over-confident. Now I’d been declared talentless. But other channels of creativity stayed open: I went on writing poems and stories. Still, I went to exhibitions often. I continued my habitual drawing, which I now characterised as childish doodling (乱画). In my 30s, I made painter friends and learned new ways of looking at art. However, I couldn’t let myself have a go at actually doing it. Though these new friends were abstract painters using oil paints, or were printmakers or sculptors, I took oil painting as the taboo (禁忌) high form I wasn’t allowed to practice.      One night, in my early 40s, I dreamed that a big woman in red approached me, handed me a bag of paints, and told me to start painting. The dream felt so authoritative that it shook me. It was a form of energy, giving me back something I’d lost. Accordingly, I started by experimenting with water colours. Finally, I bought some oil paints. Although I have enjoyed breaking my decades-long taboo about working with oil paints, I have discovered I now prefer chalks and ink. I let my line drawings turn into cartoons I send to friends. It all feels free and easy. Un-anxious. This time around, I can accept my limitations but keep going. Becoming a successful painter calls for being resolute. I realised I was always afraid of wanting too much. That dream reminded me that those fears and desires could encourage me to take risks and make experiments. 24．How did the author feel about the result of the art exam? A．Scared. B．Worried. C．Discouraged. D．Wronged. 25．In her 30s, the author _________. A．avoided oil painting practice B．sought for a painting career C．fancied abstract painting D．exhibited child paintings 26．Which word would best describe the author’s dream? A．Confusing. B．Empowering. C．Disturbing. D．Entertaining. 27．What can we learn from this passage? A．Actions speak louder than words. B．Hard work is the mother of success. C．Dreams are the reflections of realities. D．Creative activities involve being confident. 【环境保护类】 Passage 1 （2024·全国一卷·阅读B） “I am not crazy,"says Dr. Wlliam Fartber, shortly after performing acupuncture (针灸) on a rabbit. "I am ahead of my time. "If he seems a little defensive, it might be because even some of his coworkers occasionally laugh at his unusual methods. But Farber is certain he'll have the last laugh. He's one of a small but growing number of American veterinarians(兽医) now practicing"holistic"medicine-combining traditional Western treatments with acupuncture,  chiropractic(按摩疗法)and herbal medicine. Farber, a graduate of Colorado State University, started out as a more conventional veterinarian. He became interested in alternative treatments 20 years ago when he suffered from terrible back pain. He tried muscle-relaxing drugs but found little relief. Then he tried acupuncture, an ancient Chinese practice, and was amazed that he improved after two or three treatments. What worked on a veterinarian seemed likely to work on his patients. So, after studying the techniques for a couple of years, he began offering them to pets. Leigh Tindale's dog Charlie had a serious heart condition. After Charlie had a heart attack, Tindale says, she was prepared to put him to sleep, but Farber's treatments eased her dog's suffering so much that she was able to keep him alive for an additional five months. And Priscilla Dewing reports that her horse, Nappy,"moves more  easily  and  rides more comfortably"after a chiropractic adjustment. Farber is certain that the holistic approach will grow more popular with time, and if the past is any indication, he may be right: Since 1982, membership  in the American Holistic  Veterinary Medical Association has grown from 30 to over 700. “Sometimes it surprises me  that it works so well,"he says. "I will do anything to help an animal. That's my job. " 24. What do some of Farber's coworkers think of him? A. He's odd. B. He's  strict.               C. He's brave D. He's rude.   25. Why did Farber decide to try acupuncture on pets? A. He was trained in it at university. B. He was inspired by another veterinarian. C. He benefited from it as a patient. D. He wanted to save money for pet owners. 26. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. Steps of a chiropractic treatment. B. The complexity of veterinarians' work. C. Examples of rare animal diseases. D. The effectiveness of holistic medicine. 27. Why does the author mention the American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association? A. To prove Farber's point. B. To emphasize its importance. C. To praise veterinarians. D. To advocate animal protection. 【社会生活类】 Passage 1 （2025·浙江1月阅读B） When I was a child I was often told what not to eat. “You don’t want to get fat” was on constant repeat throughout my childhood. It really messed up my relationship with food — something that took me years to overcome. Because of this, I’m careful not to connect what my kids weigh with their worth as people. I encourage my daughter to make healthy snack choices and often dissuade (劝阻) her from a second dessert. But one day when I heard her saying “I think I’m too fat,” my heart sank. It made me wonder if giving her advice on snacks was having an unintentionally negative impact. According to Charlotte Markey, a professor of psychology, food is one of the rare subjects where, as parents, saying less is more. “There are so many things in parenting that are good to talk through, but I’m not convinced that food is one of them,” she says. “It just creates some worries and insecurities in kids that aren’t necessarily healthy.” Instead, she recommends applying a well-known concept among nutrition experts called the “Division of Responsibility,” where parents provide a variety of mostly healthy foods to their kids at fixed times, and the kids themselves decide what and how much they want to consume — even if that means occasionally eating more cookies than carrots. Allowing kids to eat what they want also exposes them to the natural consequences of their decisions. “When your child says, ‘My stomach hurts,’ you can say, ‘Well you had a lot of sugary foods and you might feel better if you made some other choices,’” says Markey. “Let them feel like they have some control over it.” I’ve been trying out these strategies and I’ve found that when I’m less restrictive, they do make better decisions. “Feeding is a long game,” says Markey. “The food you have available makes a huge difference. Even if they don’t eat it, they’ re seeing it. And then all of a sudden it clicks.” 24. What can be inferred about the author from the first paragraph? A. She is upset by her kids’ weight. B. She is critical of the way she was fed. C. She is interested in making food. D. She is particular about what she eats. 25. Which of the following would Markey disapprove of? A.

Passage 2 （2024·浙江1月阅读B） When was the last time you used a telephone box? I mean to make an actual phone call — not to shelter from the rain. Ages ago right? The last time I used a phone box for its intended purpose was…2006. I was conducting auditions (试演) for my play in my tiny old shared house in London. Hoping to impress some talented actors to come and work for me for nothing, I spread some throws over the sofas and lit candles to make it seem a bit more ”young professional”. As I rushed outdoors to empty the wastepaper baskets, the door swung shut behind me. Suddenly I was locked outside. My mobile phone was inside, but luckily there was a telephone box across the street. So, I called Directory Assistance, got put through to our landlady’s managing agent, and had a spare key sent to me with just enough time to get back in before the actors arrived. As it has been many years since I last used one, I should hardly be surprised that then are no longer any public telephones near my house. The last one standing has just been turn into a “mini community library”: any passer-by can “borrow” a book from its shelves return it later, or replace it with another title from their own collection. For a few months after the “library” opened, I didn’t bother taking a look, as I had assumed that it would be stuffed full of cheese love stories. Then I noticed fork conducting spring cleans dropping boxes of voluminous books on various subjects there. And these books were free. This unbeatable price-point encouraged me to experiment with dozens of titles that I would never normally consider buying. And I’ve discovered some great books! If I ever get trapped outside my house again, my local telephone box will, sadly no longer be able to connect me with my keys. But it can certainly keep me entertained while I wait for my wife to rescue me. 24. What does the underlined word “it” in the first paragraph refer to? A. The play. B. The shared house. C. The sofa. D. The telephone box. 25. Why did the author use the telephone box in 2006? A. To place an urgent call. B. To put up a notice. C. To shelter from the rain. D. To hold an audition. 26. What do we know about the “mini community library”? A. It provides phone service for free. B. Anyone can contribute to its collection. C. It is popular among young readers. D. Books must be returned within a month. 27. Why did the author start to use the “library”? A. He wanted to borrow some love stories. B. He was encouraged by a close neighbour. C. He found there were excellent free books. D. He thought it was an ideal place for reading. 分析近几年的高考试题，可以发现阅读理解B篇大部分是考查记叙文，话题接近社会生活实际，细节题覆盖人物行为、事件原因、事物特征。词义猜测题考查词义替换,或者根据句子的上下文的语境进行推测;推理判断题会对人物性格进行推断; 主旨大意题概括故事内容；对于2027年高考题，细节理解题可能会跨段整合细节、因果倒置设问，需区分表层行为与深层目的; 词义猜测题会依托人物情绪、故事语境推断动词 / 短语，少单纯字面释义;推理判断题会侧重主旨感悟、作者深层观点、故事隐含人生道理，无原文直接依据;主旨大意题我们要区分记事抒情、人物赞美、反思社会三类写作目的. 【文化教育类】 Passage 1 （2026·安徽省临泉田家炳实验中学·模拟预测） To write about food, we can be reporting on deforestation for palm oil production, the animal welfare conditions in industrial meat-processing, etc. But for readers, it will all come back to the grocery store, the kitchen, and the menu they’re faced with at a restaurant. How do we navigate this field which includes loss of biodiversity, greedy businessmen, climate change — without overwhelming but instead empowering and encouraging readers? As an essayist, a cultural critic and food writer, at the end of the day, I am trying to attract my readers to consider what they eat. It requires that I involve and insert myself into this human dilemma. After all, I have to eat too. I once wrote that in order to trust someone on the subject of food, I need to know about their eating history and appetites. This isn’t because I want to measure my own appetite against theirs to ensure we line up, but because it provides significant context: What purpose does food serve in your life? I want to know, so that I can understand why you’re choosing to take it as a focus, whether in a writing career or just one essay. I grew up on Long Island, spent years in Brooklyn, and now live in San Juan, Puerto Rico. My upbringing consisted of all the Italian, Chinese, Japanese, and Greek food one might imagine a kid just outside New York City would eat, plus Puerto Rican food influenced by my paternal grandmother’s heritage. My eating biography includes a lot of experiences — as eater, as server, as cook — and a commitment to what tastes good. All of these are useful knowledge for my perspective, and it’s why there is a touch of memoir threaded throughout what is seemingly a cultural history: If I could grow up eating everything, how did I end up with all these ethical concerns and commitments around the food system? I take the ordinary, the everyday and the ancestral (祖先的) with me when I write about how we have eaten for the past 50 years, and how we could eat in the future. How do I eat and what do I cook when I feel the weight of all these on my shoulders? 1. What does the author’s writing mainly focus on? A. The influence of human diet. B. The nutritional value of food. C. The economic impact of food production. D. The effectiveness of the actions of the local government. 2. Why does the author need to know her readers’ appetites? A. To make comparisons. B. To list examples. C. To understand their background. D. To better know herself. 3. What is the author mainly discussing in paragraph 4? A. Her multicultural identity. B. Her rich experiences with food. C. Her fascination with special foods. D. Her understanding of foreign foods. 4. What does the author convey about the future diet? A. It will empower humans. B. It will be influenced by the past. C. It will become less diverse. D. It will be mainly based on personal preference. Passage 2 （2026·湖北黄冈市黄州区湖北省黄冈中学·二模） I remember perfectly the day I applied for the math preparatory position at the School of Mechanical Engineering. The written exam went well, so we moved onto the second stage of the competition, which consisted of explaining an exercise in front of a panel of professors. Honestly, I was very tense. To make matters worse, my hands were sweating a lot. When I was assigned the exercise and started solving it on the board, I tried to stay calm. It was going pretty well, actually, until I said something ridiculous. I said something like: “The area of the triangle is the base (底) times the height divided by 4.” As soon as I realized my mistake, I corrected myself aloud while trying to erase the board with my hand, but my sweat made the blackboard look like a crime scene. An old professor noticed my struggle and said, “I think we’ve seen enough. Thank you.” I left the room with my head down. Days later, I found out that I had passed the competition and secured a position. My grade gave me the opportunity to choose which professor I wanted to work with and I chose the one who had saved me at that moment, professor Martin! Before my first tutoring session, some colleagues told me that, in their advanced calculus class, a professor had shared the story of a girl who had gotten so nervous that she “flooded” the board with sweat and didn’t even know the area of a triangle. I felt extremely angry and confronted the professor immediately. I told him how unprofessional it was for him to mock a student who was just trying her best and if I were truly incompetent, the hiring committee — including him — was at fault. The professor, surprised, felt very sorry and apologized. I accepted his apology. No matter how much effort you put in or how well you do, some will focus on your mistakes. What matters is how you respond. That experience taught me to express my thoughts bravely, to communicate my concerns, and to set boundaries when I consider something to be unprofessional or unacceptable. 1．How did the author feel when she left the interview room? A．Extremely nervous. B．Deeply frustrated. C．Slightly regretful. D．Surprisingly calm. 2．Why did the author choose Professor Martin? A．He offered her a flexible tutoring schedule. B．He was known for his strict teaching methods. C．He had helped her during the difficult moment. D．He was the only professor who gave her a high grade. 3．Which of the following best describes the author? A．Capable but overly sensitive. B．Courageous and straightforward. C．Hardworking but easily discouraged. D．Remarkably quick but deeply unforgiving. 4．Which of the following is the best title? A．Sweat, Tears, and a Triangle Mistake. B．I Made a Mistake — and Got an Apology. C．I Divided by 4 — and Got the Last Laugh. D．A Flooded Board, a Divided Formula, and a Job Offer. 【环境保护类】 Passage 1 （2026·浙江绍兴市诸暨市·5月高三适应性考试） Alia Bhatt grew up in Mumbai surrounded by animals, largely because her sister Shaheen kept bringing home stray kittens. These strays often arrived in poor condition — starving or sick. When their mother tried to stop the parade of kittens, the girls hid them in their room until they recovered. “It was compulsive, almost,” Bhatt says. “My heart opened up very young.” This love of animals stayed with her into adulthood. Today, as one of India’s most recognizable actresses with nearly 90 million Instagram followers, she uses her reach to highlight animal welfare and environmental issues through films, children’s books, and campaigns. “I started to question if my voice had quality,” she says. “I decided to focus on something I’m passionate about — and that’s animals.” Bhatt’s tactics (策略) are creative and varied. Her 2021-founded production company, Eternal Sunshine, has a logo featuring two cats. She executive produced Poacher, a 2024 hit miniseries based on a real elephant poaching investigation in India. Eternal Sunshine also partners with an eco-film festival to encourage filmmakers to focus on the environment. “Stories have an amazing way to impact our minds,” Bhatt says. “Once you tell a story, it’s there forever.” Stories can profoundly impact children, and Bhatt is the author of The Adventures of Ed-a-Mamma, a children’s book series following a girl and her adopted dog on animal-helping adventures. Inspired by her daughter’s love for animals, she aims to foster children’s passion for wildlife. Bhatt also launched MiSu, a resale platform for pre-loved celebrity clothes, extending garment lifespans, cutting waste, and boosting India’s circular fashion. Bhatt doesn’t consider herself an environmental expert. Her partner Dorita D’ Souza notes she makes conservation accessible, driven by the deep empathy for animals she developed in childhood. 1．What drives Alia Bhatt to engage in animal and environmental protection? A．Fame seeking. B．Family pressure. C．Childhood passion. D．Expertise pursuit. 2．What is a practical measure taken by Alia Bhatt for public welfare? A．Keeping stray animals at home.

A．Cautious and ambitious. B．Humorous and diligent. C．Compassionate and committed. D．Generous and innovative. 4．What message does the passage mainly convey? A．Childhood experiences shape lifelong deeds. B．Small acts of kindness make a great difference. C．Media raises public awareness of welfare issues. D．Celebrities should bear more social responsibilities. Passage 2 （2026·福建南平市·二模） When Lila Martinez moved to Maple Street, she was struck by a marked contrast. The houses were well-kept, with flowers blooming in most yards, but at the corner of her block sat a 1,200-square-foot parking lot — a dumping ground for old tires, broken furniture, and overgrown weeds. To Lila, it looked like a “wound” that the neighborhood had simply learned to ignore. Instead of complaining, the 17-year-old decided to take action. She began knocking on doors, a clipboard in hand, asking her neighbors, “What would you do with that lot if you could?” Mrs. Henderson, an 82-year-old resident living alone, teared up as she said, “I used to have a garden, but I can’t bend down anymore. I’d love to smell fresh flowers again.” Mr. Torres, the owner of the local grocery store, offered to donate tools and soil. Even the teenagers were interested, suggesting a place to play basketball. Lila realized the project was bigger than just cleaning up rubbish. She named it the “Maple Community Garden” and launched a crowdfunding campaign. With the raised money, she hired a local construction company to level the ground. The first Saturday was backbreaking. Lila and twenty volunteers filled 40 garbage bags with rubbish. As the weeks passed, the lot began to breathe again. Sunflowers towered over the fence, attracting bees and butterflies. Tomatoes ripened on the vine. More importantly, the people began to bloom. The teens who helped build the basketball court started assisting Mrs. Henderson to carry her groceries. Mr. Torres began hosting weekly barbecues using vegetables from the garden. Neighbors who had lived next to each other for decades but never spoken were now exchanging recipes and gardening tips. Lila said, “I thought I was just building a garden, but what I really built was a bridge. That empty lot used to divide us; now it connects us.” 1．Why did Lila view the lot as a “wound”? A．It ruined the street’s beauty. B．It took up much space. C．It caused conflicts in neighbors. D．It reminded her of an injury. 2．Which of the following best describes the residents’ response? A．Surprised. B．Supportive. C．Cautious. D．Emotional. 3．What did Lila do for the community project? A．She offered tools and soil. B．She raised money door to door. C．She secured support to transform the lot. D．She encouraged neighbors to grow vegetables. 4．What is the best title for the text? A．Ways to Build a Better Block B．The Garden that Heals a Neighborhood C．Cares for the Old in the Community D．A Teenager’s Dream of a Lovely Garden Passage 3 （2026·河北衡水中学·二模） Maya Martinez, a high school senior living in a fog-covered coastal village in North California, noticed that the community garden was gradually drying up during the driest summer on record. While the villagers remained helpless, Maya chose to spend her afternoons carefully observing the thick mist that rolled in from the sea. Maya had already identified a critical fault in traditional fog-collecting mesh nets (网状网): they frequently became blocked by the very water drops they caught, which severely reduced their effectiveness. Digging deeper into solutions, Maya found a novel device designed by two scientists — the “Fog Harp (竖琴)”. Maya decided to use the handy materials to create her own “Fog Harp”. At first, neighbors watched the process with doubt as she strung hundreds of thin, upright wires across a solid wooden frame. To them, the setup looked no more than “a giant musical instrument” that only produced useless sounds in the cold coastal wind. Little did they know this simple-looking setup would soon prove surprisingly effective. The remarkable efficiency of Maya’s Fog Harp lies in its clever use of gravity. In a traditional mesh net, tiny water drops get easily trapped within the small square gaps, which stop further collection. This occurs because the surface tension — the invisible, stretchy “skin” of liquid water — is too strong for the small drops to overcome. In Maya’s Fog Harp, by contrast, water drops hit the wires and slowly combine into larger drops. Most importantly, with no cross wires to hold these larger drops in place, gravity easily overcomes surface tension, allowing the water to slide effortlessly down the wires and collect in a tank below. Of course, the project faced its share of setbacks. During one severe coastal storm, the extreme wind tore through the wooden frame. Yet, instead of giving in to despair, she immediately set out to fix the problem by reinforcing the entire structure with durable steel wires. By the time autumn arrived, Maya’s “Fog Harps” were reliably producing plenty of fresh water every day, partly meeting the daily water needs of the village. 1．Why did Maya observe the thick mist in her afternoons? A．To predict the weather conditions. B．To clarify the reasons for drought. C．To check the efficiency of the mesh nets. D．To work out a solution to water shortage. 2．What can we know about Maya’s “Fog Harp”? A．It was a musical instrument. B．It invited villagers’ acid words. C．It presented an inborn fault. D．It featured a solid metal frame. 3．What is the key for Maya’s Fog Harp to function well? A．Its use of cross wires. B．Its mesh-net structure. C．Its weak surface tension. D．Its unique design and use of gravity. 4．What can we learn from Maya’s story? A．Look before you leap. B．Better late than never. C．Think outside the box. D．Time waits for no man. Passage 4 (2026届安徽省省十教育高三最后一卷英语试题) Near Vihaan and Nav Agarwal’s home, a big garbage dump (垃圾场) caved in, releasing poisonous chemicals into the surrounding streets, which caused a fire to erupt. Following this event, Vihaan and Nav decided to take action to improve their city’s waste collection to ultimately improve their own health and that of their neighbors. Vihaan struggled with a persistent cough and shortness of breath. He knew his symptoms would not likely improve until his local community improved its waste management solutions. In 2018, at ages 14 and 11, respectively, the brothers created a home recycling program called One Step Greener that managed recycling for 15 households within their community. Their goal: prevent toxic chemical waste from seeping (渗透) into the environment and creating dangerous health conditions for residents. At first, the boys felt empowered by taking the action of separating waste into distinct categories. When local officials then informed them that the local garbage collection crew would not pick up their separated bags, they felt momentarily defeated, but persisted in their efforts. The boys then created a neighborhood coalition to create a unified recycling program, which 15 households took part in. Local authorities adjusted their stance, and the recycling program spread throughout the community with a growing number of households starting to participate. “The main issue in waste management is that everybody thinks it’s not their job, or if the waste is out of their house, it’s out of their mind,” Vihaan said. Vihaan and Nav’s program grew from managing 15 households to 3,000 throughout 14 Indian cities. The program offers families involved free door-to-door dry waste pickups. The separated waste is then delivered to warehouses where it is further divided to ensure proper recycling. Newspapers are separated from A4 printing paper, PET plastic from polypropylene, and computer screens from keyboards. One Step Greener’s goal reads, “One Step Greener’s mission is to transform environmental action into everyday practice by mobilizing youth, building green communities, and designing scalable solutions in waste management, afforestation, and education — starting at the grassroots, and growing toward systems change.” “It’s an old saying, but collective effort does actually make a difference,” said Vihaan. 1．What inspired Vihaan and Nav to start One Step Greener? A．The locals’ waste collection failure. B．A project on waste management. C．A landfill collapse near their home. D．The city’s campaign for recycling. 2．What was local authorities’ attitude to the program after the neighborhood’s participation? A．Unclear. B．Doubtful. C．Dismissive. D．Approving. 3．What did One Step Greener do for the participating households? A．It picked up dry waste for free. B．It educated them online about recycling. C．It delivered newspapers to them. D．It paid them for their recyclable materials. 4．What does Vihaan and Nav’s program show? A．Better late than never. B．Teamwork makes the dream work. C．Knowledge is power. D．Actions speak louder than words. Passage 5 (2026届福建名校联盟高中毕业班考前适应性练习英语试题) Carrying his “sound hunter’s” backpack with a headset, a recorder, and fifteen specialized microphones, Charles Rose sets out to explore Lyon’s Tête d’Or Park. He places his microphone against a rock as if taking its pulse (脉搏). He is focused, listening to a language only he seems to understand. Charles Rose is an audio naturalist. In his ears, trees whisper with human-like voices, queen bees cry, and ant nests crackle (噼啪作响) like campfires. His journey began in 2019 during a trip to Norway. While searching for sounds to sample for his musical compositions, he found himself attracted by the natural soundscapes. That trip became the turning point: he started recording flowing rivers, wooden churches, and animal calls. These recordings soon became albums of their own. From them, he builds a “sound library” that reflects the richness of ecosystems worldwide. Months ago, he traveled to the Tuvalu islands in the South Pacific where 95% of the area could be submerged by the end of the century. He recorded everything: the wind, the waves, the birds, the trees, the silence between sounds. These sounds now live in a sound bank that will immortalize the island’s memory and keep it long after the land disappears. Today, over 40,000 species are threatened by climate change, according to the latest report by the International Union for Conservation of Nature. For Rose, recording nature is a form of conservation. “By capturing the sound of an insect moving under our feet,” he says, “I want to make the living being more alive in the eyes of humans. I believe the more we listen, the more we respect.” Night is about to fall on the park as the rain arrives. While Sunday walkers rush for cover, Charles Rose smiles and excitedly heads to the pond. He kneels at the water’s edge, lowers a microphone beneath the surface, puts on his headset, and closes his eyes. 1．Why did Charles Rose go to Norway? A．He planned to build a sound library. B．He wanted to study local ecosystems. C．He intended to look for musical inspiration. D．He hoped to photograph natural landscapes. 2．What does the underlined word “immortalize” in paragraph 4 mean? A．Recall. B．Replace. C．Update. D．Safeguard. 3．What is Charles Rose’s purpose in recording nature? A．To teach people listening skills. B．To do research on climate change. C．To raise environmental awareness. D．To learn animals’ special language. 4．Which words best describe Charles Rose? A．Devoted and far-sighted. B．Creative and carefree. C．Curious and cool-headed. D．Humorous and easygoing. 【人物传记类】 Passage 1 （2026·云南省·二模） For years, Shay Taylor-Allen walked the halls of Yale New Haven Hospital with a mop and cleaning cart, making sure patient rooms were spotless. Soon, she’ll be walking those same halls with a stethoscope (听诊器) — this time as a doctor. Her journey didn’t follow a traditional path. After graduating in the top 10 percent of her class at Wilbur Cross High School in Connecticut, Taylor had the potential to go far — but not the guidance. At just 18, needing to earn a living, she took a job as a janitor at Yale New Haven Hospital. What started as a practical decision turned into nearly a decade of hard, honest work, cleaning patient rooms and offices. Then life took a turn that would change everything. After a devastating house fire, Taylor’s mother suffered severe lung damage and began struggling to breathe. After seeking medical treatment from multiple doctors, her mother finally received a diagnosis: vocal cord dysfunction (功能紊乱), a rare condition that had been overlooked. That moment lit a spark. She wanted to become a doctor and advocate for patients who weren’t being heard. The road ahead wasn’t easy. With no clear roadmap, Taylor had to figure out each step on her own — often starting with a simple online search. She enrolled in classes at Southern Connecticut State University, later earning a master’s degree from Quinnipiac University to complete the science courses needed for medical school. And through it all, she kept working. By day, she studied. By night, she returned to the hospital, continuing her janitor job while saving money for application fees and the MCAT (Medical College Admissions Test). Her determination paid off. Taylor was accepted into Howard University College of Medicine — and recently, she received life-changing news. She was matched to a residency at Yale New Haven Hospital. The very same hospital where her journey began. 1．What can be known about Taylor’s performance at high school? A．Average. B．Popular. C．Friendly.

A．It was planned well in advance. B．It was a self-effort journey. C．It was an inspiration for hospitals. D．She quit her job to focus on studies. Passage 2 （2026·重庆市九龙坡区重庆市育才中学校·二模） Brownie Wise was a self-made woman who revolutionized marketing strategies and had a talent for motivating others. She introduced the now popular household item, Tupperware, to the market. As a pioneering businesswoman when there were not many women in business, she serves as an inspiration for generations of women. She was born in Georgia in 1913 and dreamed of becoming a writer and illustrator. During the late 1930s and early 1940s, Wise contributed to the Detroit News Experience column. Beyond writing, she worked briefly in an ad agency and as a salesperson in a clothing store. Later, she and her mother began selling Stanley Home Products at home parties; one of her sales methods was a demonstration of how the products worked. Even though she became one of the top Stanley salespeople, Stanley’s founder told her that as a woman, she had no place in management. She refused to accept that and switched to selling a new product: Tupperware. While Tupperware is everywhere now, it was not selling well in the late 1940s and early 1950s. Most people were not used to having consumer products made of plastic at that time. Wise, who saw promise in the product, began selling it with her mother in the late 1940s. She adopted the home party technique, throwing parties and demonstrating Tupperware mainly to women. She recruited dealers and managers and was soon selling more Tupperware than any store. In 1951, Tupper, the founder of Tupperware, recruited Wise to develop the party plan model and made her Vice President of Marketing. This job title made Wise one of the few female executives at the time. After Wise took over marketing, millions of Tupperware products began flying off the shelves. Wise became the public face of the company, appearing in media and speaking at national conferences. She was the first woman to appear on the cover of BusinessWeek. Tupperware now includes Wise and her contributions in the company’s official history. The home party model she pioneered not only ensured the success of that company but also inspired hundreds of others. 1．What can we infer about Wise’s early career aspirations? A．She had a clear career goal in her early years. B．She planned to become a top salesperson. C．She intended to hold a management position. D．She aimed to work in the business world from the start. 2．The phrase “flying off the shelves” in the last paragraph most probably means ______. A．being displayed in stores B．being sold in large quantities C．being transported by air D．being removed from shelves 3．Which of the following words can best describe Brownie Wise? A．Creative and determined. B．Shy and cautious. C．Generous and quiet. D．Humorous and easygoing. 4．What does the passage suggest about Wise’s impact on business? A．She improved the design of household items. B．She made plastic products more affordable for consumers. C．She opened doors for women in corporate leadership. D．She increased the profitability of the advertising industry. Passage 3 (2026届湖北省武昌实验中学高考适应性考试） In Qingdao, a guesthouse named “Yameng’s Home” is marked by a Barbie doll in a wheelchair at its entrance. Operated by 29-year-old Cui Yameng, it embodies her mission to create a barrier-free environment for people with disabilities. Cui’s dedication began in high school through volunteer work, leading her to study special education. Her travels with physically-challenged friends during university revealed how everyday obstacles like small steps became significant barriers. This inspired her long-term goal of an accessible hotel. As a practical start, she transformed her apartment’s first floor into this inclusive guesthouse in 2023. Every detail is designed for accessibility: a low entrance ramp, lowered kitchen counters, an adjustable bathroom mirror, and customized bed heights. Cui offers free stays to guests with disabilities, requesting only a personal story in return. Her aim is to provide dignified and comfortable accommodation. Her first guest was a young woman who had lost both legs. Cui arranged a tandem (双人自行车) bicycle ride along the coast for her — a first-time experience the guest later shared online. The post inspired many followers, including one man who embarked on his first solo trip in twenty years. Cui points out that the core issue is not an absence of accessible facilities, but rather a lack of public awareness about disabilities. Besides the guesthouse, she works at a local welfare center, organizing activities where children wear blindfolds to experience daily life without sight to foster public understanding. Her initiative has created a ripple effect. After gaining online attention, she began receiving requests from local businesses for accessible design advice. Cui hopes her story empowers others to contribute according to their capacities. To date, her guesthouse has hosted 28 guests and received international bookings. Cui acknowledges China’s progress in accessibility, citing supportive laws and improved services. Yet, her ultimate wish is for a future where such specialized accommodations become unnecessary, as affordable, accessible options are available everywhere. She sincerely looks forward to that day. 1. What inspired Cui to design the guesthouse? A. Her work at a welfare center. B. Volunteer service in her youth. C. Her academic pursuit of special education. D. Her travel experiences with disabled friends. 2. What can be inferred about Cui’s influence? A. She has built business partnerships. B. She has motivated disabled travelers. C. She has absorbed government funding. D. She has transformed traditional hotels. 3. Which of the following best describes Cui? A. Traditional and cautious. B. Humorous and ambitious. C. Romantic and adventurous. D. Pioneering and compassionate. 4. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. A Home Without Barriers B. A Chance for New Business C. A Hero of Online Campaign D. A Center for Special Education Passage 4 (2026届河北省部分学校高三毕业前适应性考试英语试卷) That friendly voice from your phone guiding you to new places is closely connected with Gladys West. Modern navigation (导航) has its roots in the satellite science lab where West studied the Earth’s shape. As a determined Black woman, she earned full scholarships to complete her math degrees at Virginia State University. Electronics in guidance systems were in their early stage in 1955, when West began her career. She had grown up on the family farm, and though she was self-motivated to study, she was a rarity in mathematics, not only as a woman but as a Black mathematician. Not discouraged, she put her mind to solving problems. She began by analyzing the Earth orbits of satellites. It might seem simple to calculate the distance around a perfect ball, but the shape of the Earth is not perfect. It is egg-shaped and has geographical as well as gravitational variations due to the tidal (潮汐的) forces that affect the course of a satellite. West developed algorithms (算法) to account for the variations and, through the 1970s and 1980s, programmed an IBM computer to deliver ever-increasingly accurate calculations for the shape of the Earth. West seldom protested the unfairness around her, for she could not afford to lose her job. Instead, she kept working to improve travel navigation. Her life and work not only give us daily directions but also inspire young people to rise above difficult situations. “I’m a doer, a hands-on kind of person,” West once said. “If I can see the road and see where it turns and see where it goes, I am more sure.” For all of us, we are grateful to West for making that map a little easier to follow. The next time you arrive on time, having avoided construction and delays, and hear that friendly voice say, “You have arrived,” give a nod and respond, “Thank you, West. I have arrived at a better place because of you.” 1．What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us about Gladys West? A．She was courageous. B．She was born poor. C．She had many talents. D．She taught herself. 2．What belief did West hold? A．Practice makes perfect. B．Actions speak louder. C．Well begun is half done.

Passage 5 (2026届安徽明光中学等学校高三5月最后一卷三模) Richard Ebright grew up in Pennsylvania as an only child with no scientific family background. Unable to play team sports, he turned to collecting butterflies, rocks and fossils, turning free time into exploration. His father died when Ebright was in third grade, after which his mother became his whole life and his greatest inspiration. Every evening, they sat together at the dining table; if he had nothing to do, his mother would arrange learning tasks for him. “He enjoyed it and was eager to learn,” she recalled. By fifth grade, Ebright had collected all 25 butterfly species native to his hometown. That might have been the end until his mother gave him The Travels of Monarch X. The book encouraged young readers to label migrating monarchs (a kind of butterfly) for scientific research, and Ebright took part in the project with great enthusiasm. For several years, he raised thousands of monarchs in his basement. A county fair loss taught him a crucial lesson: real science requires genuine experiments, not just neat displays. In high school, Ebright focused on twelve tiny gold spots on monarch pupae (蛹). Most people thought they were decorative, but he assumed they released a hormone (激素) essential for development. He wrote to Dr. Frederick A．Urquhart, built a device, and proved his theory, which helped him win first place and advance to the International Science and Engineering Fair. His pioneering work provided the first concrete evidence of gene switching in a multicellular organism, laying a cornerstone for modern genetics. At twenty-two, Ebright and his college roommate published a groundbreaking theory on how cells read DNA blueprints in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Today, as a Board of Governors Professor at Rutgers University, he leads research on bacterial transcription and develops new drugs against tuberculosis. Elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, he has received multiple awards. From a curious boy with a butterfly net to a world-renowned biochemist, Ebright proved that passion, persistence, and a supportive mother matter far more than talent. 1．Which words can best describe Ebright’s mother? A．Warm-hearted and humorous. B．Far-sighted and inspiring. C．Ambitious and hardworking. D．Outgoing and creative. 2．What led Ebright to start his scientific research? A．The failure at a county fair. B．A collection of local butterflies. C．A book given by his mother. D．The guidance from college professors. 3．What was the key to Ebright’s winning first place in a fair? A．Making neat and beautiful displays. B．Doing real and reliable experiments. C．Collecting more butterfly species. D．Getting constant support from his teacher. 4．Which of the following would be the best title for the text? A．The Power of a Mother’s Love B．A Great Discovery in Insect Research C．Richard Ebright: The Making of a Scientist D．Exploration: From Butterflies to Genetic Research Passage 6 (2026安徽皖南八校第三次联考高三4月教学质量检测英语试卷） In the world of quantum (量子) information, precision is everything. For 29-year-old doctoral candidate Wang Haigang, that precision doesn’t come from his hands, but from his feet. Sitting in a quiet laboratory at Taiyuan University of Technology, Wang runs complex simulations and drafts research papers with his right foot on the mouse and his left on the keyboard. It is a scene of intense focus that recently earned him the university’s highest honor: the President’s Scholarship. Wang’s journey began with a childhood tragedy. At age 8, an accident with a high-voltage wire resulted in the loss of both arms. While the suffering was immense, Wang chose a path of independence. By the end of his first summer without arms, with the support of his family, he had mastered writing neat characters with his toes. Wang often studied until the early hours, enduring leg cramps (抽筋) and stomach pain from sitting bent over for too long. Gradually, he discovered a passion for mathematics, which gave him joy and direction in learning. In 2015, Wang was admitted to Shandong University of Science and Technology. In 2020, he pursued a master’s degree at the School of Mathematics at Taiyuan University of Technology, embarking on a combined master’s and doctoral program. That same year, he was named “a star of self-reliant Chinese college students”. The six years Wang spent at the university in Taiyuan marked a period of rapid growth. He achieved breakthroughs in research, built valuable relationships and embraced independence. Rejecting his parents’ offer to accompany him, he traveled alone to the university, completing all the admission procedures by himself. “I’ve grown up. I can’t rely on my parents forever. If they were always by my side, I would never truly become independent,” Wang said. Wang published his research findings in the field of quantum information as the first author in the journal Communications Physics, showcasing his exceptional research potential. 1. What did Wang do soon after losing his arms? A. He learned to write neatly with his toes. B. He started independent academic research. C. He was admitted to a university right away. D. He developed a great love for mathematics. 2. What brought Wang joy and clear learning direction? A. His honors from the university. B. His family’s continuous support. C. His quantum research achievements. D. His deep passion for mathematics. 3. Why did Wang refuse his parents’ company to university? A. To avoid prejudice from his classmates. B. To reduce financial burden on his family. C. To achieve true independence in his growth. D. To get special accommodation from the school. 4. Which of the following best describes Wang Haigang’s personality? A. Outgoing and quiet. B. Self-reliant and determined. C. Honest and tolerant. D. Generous and responsible. 【文学艺术类】 Passage 1 （2026·江苏省天一中学·二模） When I was a child, I drew a face. A grown-up corrected me quickly with a circle, round eyes, a seven-shaped nose and a curved mouth. I stood confused, for this cold, mechanical pattern felt nothing like the lively faces I knew in real life. As I grew up, I kept wondering how to draw a real face. Once, I got a chance to ask people to draw each other following two rules: never lift the pencil, and never look down at the paper. They could only look at their partner. After a minute, the drawings were terrible but wonderful. Why? Because they had drawn what they truly saw, not what they thought a face should look like. They also did something rare: they made eye-to-eye, face-to-face contact for almost a full minute without looking away. They slowed down, focused fully, and truly noticed another person. That was the secret to drawing “a real face.” Later, as an illustrated journalist, I planned a drawn story about how public libraries served the people. I explored every corner of the library and genuinely connected with the staff. I found with their intentional, public-spirited help, those seemingly ordinary facilities served people in far more meaningful ways. Computers that I assumed were for checking out books or emails were actually lifelines for people searching for jobs and housing. The sinks in the public restroom served as a laundromat (洗衣房) and showers for the homeless. The entirely new and rich truth contributed to my series of breathing drawings. I do not hope everyone becomes an artist, but everyone can learn to see deeply. Slow down, pay attention, and truly observe; you will rediscover love for the world and all people around you. We urgently need this courage — to see each other and ourselves clearly, and to honor the real truth hidden in plain sight. 1．What confused the author in the first paragraph? A．The adult’s serious criticism. B．The lack of clear drawing rules. C．The adult’s fixed way of drawing. D．The strangeness of the adult’s face. 2．Why were the drawings described as “terrible but wonderful” in paragraph 2? A．They were messy but detailed. B．They were rough but lively. C．They appeared ugly but organized. D．They seemed simple but friendly. 3．What do the underlined words “The entirely new and rich truth” refer to in paragraph 3? A．The library’s hidden social service. B．Better maintenance of facilities. C．The intention to help the homeless. D．The discovery of good stories. 4．What can be a suitable title for the text? A．Drawing a Magic. B．Discovering the Art. C．Seeing the Real Face. D．Creating Fine Works. Passage 2 （2026·河北黄骅中学·二模） Interstate 90 runs about 3,020 miles from Seattle to Boston. To me, it is more than America’s longest highway — it connects the most important places in my life. I grew up in Brooklyn in the 1960s. My world was brick, asphalt (沥青), and concrete playgrounds. A few times a year, my two younger brothers and I would drive with our dad to Newton, Massachusetts, to visit our aunt, uncle, and three girl cousins. Those trips felt like entering a completely different world. Newton had tree-lined streets, big old houses with fireplaces large enough for children to hide inside, secret staircases, and even third-floor hideaways. There was a lake where people swam in summer and ice skated in winter. There were also old battlefields from the Revolutionary War. I learned more about American history there than from any textbook. Later, I went to university and then law school near Boston. I told myself it was for academic reasons, but looking back, I think I was following the happy memories of our Newton visits. Love and work took me far west. In the 1980s, my wife and I drove through several Seattle neighborhoods to find our first home. When we turned onto Mount Baker Boulevard, I saw trees meeting overhead, a large grassy park, and a big lake. I immediately recognized a place I had loved before. I was home. We raised our children in an old Craftsman house with a wide brick fireplace,and a dining room with a long bench (长椅). The children used a low closet (壁橱) in their room as a secret clubhouse. When people ask me where I am from, I proudly say Brooklyn. But I also love Seattle, where I have lived the longest and where my grandchildren now live. So when I think of Interstate 90, I smile. It is the road that connects two places that both feel like home. No map is needed. Just get on the highway and go. 1．How did the author view his childhood environment in Brooklyn? A．Brick-walled but fun. B．Green-starved and lifeless. C．Noise-filled but orderly. D．Peace-centered and harmonious. 2．What does the author imply about learning history in Newton? A．Places bring history alive. B．Books are enough for history. C．Kids like old places best. D．History lessons are boring. 3．What made Seattle feel like home to the author? A．The comfortable old house. B．The cheap housing price. C．The familiar natural view. D．The friendly neighbors. 4．What does the last paragraph suggest about Interstate 90? A．It saves travel time. B．It requires a GPS. C．It runs across the country. D．It offers life connection. 【人与动植物类】 Passage 1 （2026·河北黄骅中学·二模） The conventional perception of cattle’s intelligence has been challenged by the first scientifically documented instance of tool use in cattle. Veronika, a pet cow in Austria, was observed purposefully using a tool to scratch ( 挠) different parts of her body. This behavior provides convincing evidence that cows may possess mental abilities far beyond what was previously assumed. Veronika's unique status as a pet, rather than a farm animal, allows her the autonomy to do what she wants when she wants to. She frequently has itchy ( 发痒的) spots on her skin from horsefly bites, leading her to independently think up a solution. Her owner says, “For years,Veronika has picked up sticks with her mouth and used them to scratch herself. She wasn’t taught to do this — she just figured it out. ” Dr. Alice Auersperg, an expert in animal problem-solving, was attracted upon seeing a video of Veronika in action. Tool use, though documented in select species like chimpanzees, elephants, and crows, had never been reported in cows. This motivated her team to design an experiment, presenting Veronika with a broom ( 扫帚). Veronika skillfully handled the broom, using her tongue and teeth to lift it, and then applied it to scratch herself. She strategically employed the hard end for her tough back skin, and the stick end for softer, more sensitive areas like the areas underneath her body. The fact that Veronika was using two different parts of the broom for different reasons is important. The scientists describe it as “multi-purpose tool use”. That’s a skill that, until now, has only been seen in chimpanzees. Even so, the researchers believe that most cows likely possess similar intelligence, but never get a chance to show it due to their shortened lifespans for meat or milk production. The researchers say Veronika’s long and interesting life may have helped her develop. Veronika is 13 years old. And, as a pet, she’s had many chances to learn and grow. 1．What can we learn about Veronika from the first two paragraphs? A．She suffers from skin diseases easily. B．She was taught to use sticks by her owner. C．She shows higher intelligence than other animals. D．She is the first recorded tool-using cow. 2．What does the author intend to show in paragraph 3? A．Cows’ unexpected mental abilities. B．The uniqueness of Veronika’s pet status. C．Specific methods of Veronika’s tool handling. D．Scientific significance of tool use across species. 3．What is the researchers’ attitude toward the possibility of tool use in other cows? A．Doubtful. B．Indifferent. C．Positive. D．Curious. 4．What is the best title of the text? A．Veronika:A Different Pet Cow. B．Tool-Using Cow Surprises Scientists. C．Pet Cows:Unlocking Hidden Intelligence. D．The Experimental Design for Veronika’s Test. Passage 2 (2026届湖北黄冈市黄梅县第一中学高考模拟考试) Teenage star Kyle Thomas, who was popular on a short-video sharing platform, thought it was just a bit of harmless fun when he started posting videos of his growing collection of exotic (由外国引进的) pets alongside food reviews and funny moments. His meerkats (猫鼬) and three rescue foxes became popular, but the negative reactions began when Kyle shared images of his pet capybara (水豚), Queen Elizabeth, wearing a pumpkin hat for Halloween. He soon realized his home was not a suitable environment for his unusual group of animals. The turning point for Kyle came when the capybara passed away from natural causes, which resulted in his mother Zena being charged with illegally bringing her from England to Northern Ireland, where they live. So he turned the whole hoo-ha on its head and decided to open his own exotic animal rescue centre, which is featured in the new BBC documentary We Built A Zoo. “While bringing food to Queen Elizabeth before bed, I found her in a critical state. I tried to give her mouth-to-mouth and we drove her to the animal hospital but when we got there she’d passed away,” Kyle explains. Kyle reflects on previous misunderstandings, stating, “We bought Queen Elizabeth from someone who claimed to be trustworthy. They said we didn’t need a license.” He stresses the importance of people doing their research before getting exotic pets. “The capybara incident was an eye-opener. I want people to understand that exotic animals aren’t pets.” The documentary follows Kyle as he buys a 14-acre piece of land to create a safe space for animals but faces objections from neighbors. His fortunes turn when local farmer Phil Hughes steps in to help him transform Phil’s petting farm into a world-class animal center. “I learned that meerkats don’t make good pets,” Kyle shares. He breaks down in tears upon discovering the reality of the illegal pet trade. “I want to change it and raise awareness.” Now, the wildlife park is open to the public. “We’re turning a petting zoo into something with a greater mission. It’s a long road ahead, but it’s exciting.” 1．What did Kyle do after sharing his exotic pets online? A．He focused more on making videos. B．He recognized the need for proper care. C．He wanted to adopt more exotic animals. D．He stopped caring about their wellbeing. 2．What does the phrase “turned the whole hoo-ha on its head” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A．Ignored the situation. B．Created more problems. C．Inspired others to take action. D．Turned a problem into an opportunity. 3．How did the community initially react to Kyle’s idea for a rescue center? A．They had many concerns. B．They asked a local farmer for help. C．They tried to help him with resources. D．They offered useful suggestions for his plan. 4．What does Kyle aim to do with the wildlife park? A．To create a facility specifically for meerkats. B．To offer a variety of exotic animals for adoption. C．To provide a fun petting zoo experience for children. D．To educate the public about responsible pet ownership. Passage 3 (2026届山东名校联盟高三下学期5月核心素养评估) A lot of barking goes on in a college football locker room. Coaches barking at players. Players barking at each other. The entire team barking and howling just before bursting onto the field to begin a game. An actual dog once barked in the USC locker room. His name was Quebec, and since 2011 the yellow Labrador was the guide dog for Jake Olson, who became a national inspiration for his uplifting story of taking the field as the Trojans long snapper years after losing his sight. Quebec died Thursday at 14, and Olson, now a motivational speaker, posted a heartfelt appreciation on Instagram. “A bond was broken today that defies words. A part of me died today along with the loss of my bestest friend I could have ever asked for.” Olson, 27, joined the USC team in 2015 and two years later snapped the ball during a point-after kick during a season-opening win over Western Michigan at the Coliseum. When the ball sailed through the uprights, the USC sideline erupted, fans hugged and high-fived and Quebec sensed something wonderful had happened and barked in approval. Olson and Quebec became a team in 2010, shortly after Olson had his right eye removed at age 12. He’d battled a rare form of eye cancer, retinoblastoma, nearly his entire life, and lost his left eye before he turned one. Yet by the time he enrolled at USC in 2015 on a Swim With Mike scholarship, awarded annually from the Physically Challenged Athletes Scholarship fund, Olson had played football and golf at Orange Lutheran High, sung in the school choir, co-written two faith-based books about overcoming adversity and been featured on national television. “Quebec was born November 6th 2009. I went blind on November 12th 2009,” Olson wrote on Instagram. “If you know anything about dogs, it’s that they are born blind and it takes about a week for a puppy’s eyes to open. I believe Q saw for the first time the day I lost my sight. Yes, God made him for me and allowed me to be with him for 12 years and 341 days.” 1．What is implied in the first paragraph? A．Coaches have rights to yell at players. B．Players tend to lose control before a game. C．A dog was once a special existence for a team. D．A dog owner lost his sight to an accident on the field. 2．Why did Quebec bark in the match in 2015? A．To attract attention. B．To applaud a victory. C．To show the direction. D．To protest the unfairness. 3．What can be learned about Olson? A．He was born with a disability. B．He believed in the power of family. C．He developed overall despite his trouble. D．He was challenged academically in college. 4．Which of the following can best describe Olson and Quebec? A．Attached and supportive. B．Committed and inspiring. C．Educational and responsible. D．Courageous and inseparable. 【社会生活故事类】 Passage 1 (2026届湖北黄冈中学高三年级5月考前预测） We often conceive of beauty as something rare and splendid: mountain sunsets coloring the sky in streaks of orange and purple, stars scattered like broken diamonds across the night, and garden flowers blooming vividly enough to draw countless buzzing bees. In our eagerness to hunt for such extraordinary scenes, we rush through our days, yet we eventually discover that the most touching beauty, which is frequently neglected by those who fix their eyes only on grandeur, has been quietly surrounding us all along. It dwells in the gentle morning light filtering through the window, casting soft shadows on a desk where a halffinished book rests; it lives in the silent rustle of turning pages, a steaming warm drink on chilly days, and the faint breeze carrying the fresh scent of grass mixed with dew. These ordinary moments unfold peacefully, like a gentle melody that echoes softly in our hearts. I once pursued constant excitement, convinced that life ought to be thrilling and full of daring adventures, so I overlooked dull mornings, plain afternoons and tranquil evenings until I learned to slow down, pause and observe carefully, thus truly catching sight of the beauty hidden in daily trivialities (琐事). I watched my mother arrange flowers with great care every weekend as if she were handling a precious treasure, and an elderly man feeding stray cats in the park while talking to them gently as if they were lifelong friends. I also observed raindrops dancing on windowpanes, leaves shifting colors with the seasons, and a stranger’s warm smile instantly sweeping away the gloom. Beauty is seldom flashy; more often, it exists in the quiet, ordinary fragments of life that warm our souls. Appreciating such beauty requires patience and sensitivity, meaning we can truly love life and find happiness in small moments. We need not journey far to seek wonders, for they exist in every breath, every second and the gentle world around us. To cherish the ordinary is indeed the most beautiful state of life. 1. Why do many people overlook the most touching beauty? A. They rush through daily tasks. B. They only seek grand scenes. C. They lack patience for life. D. They dislike ordinary moments. 2. The author’s past attitude toward “constant excitement” can be described as ________. A. supportive B. critical C. neutral D. admiring 3. How does the author mainly present his/her argument? A. By listing scientific facts. B. By contrasting past and present views. C. By quoting famous sayings. D. By describing imaginary events. 4. What does the author mainly want to say? A. A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. B. The sun shines on both the palace and the cottage. C. Stop and smell the roses. D. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. Passage 2 (2026届重庆南开中学高三5月第九次质量检测英语试题) It was a week after my mom had passed away, and I didn’t know how to go on with life. So when I received an email from a friend about a race benefiting cancer research, I ignored it. It seemed too close to the heart, as cancer was the disease that had taken my mother away from me. But something about my friend’s words — “I can help organize the whole thing” — stuck with me. I felt obliged (有义务的) to agree. In the weeks to come, I managed to re-enter the world of the living. I checked our team’s website daily, feeling proud each time a donation ticked up our total. I knew my mom would have wanted it that way. She was the type who never got defeated. It was this very spirit that helped me get by. When the race ended, I noticed the runners all had one thing in common: There were big smiles on their faces. They made it look so rewarding and effortless. I wanted in. So I enrolled in another race two months later. Considering I could barely run a mile, it was ambitious. But my friend and I made a training plan so I wouldn’t come in last. I followed it religiously and didn’t let anything get in my way. Running up and down the city’s hills, I was flooded with memories. I had lived there after college and my mother had visited often. I passed Bloomingdale’s, recalling the time she and I had gotten into a screaming argument there. I was about to beat myself up when I remembered what Mom had said after her diagnosis of cancer. “Jane, I don’t want you to feel guilty about anything.” Her paper-thin hands had held me tightly. A weight lifted from my shoulders. When the race day arrived, I gave it my all for my mom and for all she had taught me and continued to teach me. As I ran, whenever I felt like slowing down, I pictured her cheering me on. Crossing the finish line, I was filled with her love and a sense of peace. 1．Why did the author ignore the email in the beginning? A．She felt it hard to finish the race. B．She had no time to join in the event. C．She thought the research meaningless. D．She was reminded of her mother’s death. 2．What mainly helped the author recover from her mom’s death? A．The company of her friends. B．The inspiration from her mom. C．The pleasure in going for a run. D．The success in organizing an event. 3．Which of the words can best describe the author’s mom? A．Considerate and polite. B．Brave and humorous. C．Strong-willed and caring. D．Outgoing and patient. 4．What can we infer about the author from the passage? A．She healed via running. B．She was good at running. C．She won the race. D．She still feels guilty. Passage 3 (2026届江苏无锡市南菁高级中学高三下学期考前学情自测) I used to think recipes were promises. If I followed every line, the cake would rise and dinner would turn out well. My grandmother would probably have laughed at that. She cooked from memory and attention. “Stop when it looks right,” she would say. “Add flour until the dough feels soft but not sticky.” To a child who wanted clear answers, this sounded almost unfair. Years later, I came across a medieval (中世纪的) recipe for sambocade, a kind of cheesecake. It gave no exact measurements. It simply told the cook to make a crust, prepare the curds, add sugar, egg whites and elderflowers, and bake it. At first, I found it nearly useless. How much sugar? How many eggs? How hot should the oven be? Then I understood: the recipe was not meant to teach a beginner from zero. It was more like a reminder, pointing back to knowledge learned by watching, touching, smelling and trying again. That was how my grandmother cooked. Her own recipes were only lists of ingredients kept in an old shoe box. After she died, my mother threw the box away, thinking it had no value without instructions. I understood her choice. To anyone else, “flour, eggs, milk, sugar” was hardly a recipe. Yet something was lost with that box — not complete knowledge, but traces of a way of knowing. Today, we often expect recipes to protect us from uncertainty. We want grams, minutes and temperatures. Careful measurement is useful, of course. But cooking is not only measurement. A good cook notices when butter begins to smell nutty, when dough resists the hand, and when a cake is pale enough to leave the oven. Such knowledge cannot be fully written down. It must be practiced into the body. Now, whenever I bake, I still hear my grandmother’s question: “Is it pale enough yet?” It is not exactly a rule. It is a way of paying attention. 1. Why did the author once find her grandmother’s instructions “almost unfair”? A. They sounded too old. B. They lacked clear rules. C. They changed too often. D. They used rare ingredients. 2. Why is the medieval recipe mentioned? A. To introduce a dessert. B. To question old recipes. C. To show a similar style. D. To compare two dishes. 3. What does the shoe box mainly represent? A. Lost family wealth. B. Complete cooking records. C. A forgotten dessert. D. Knowledge through practice. 4. What is the author’s view on recipes? A. Accuracy removes uncertainty. B. Practice gives recipes meaning. C. Old recipes work better. D.

I looked pointedly at the bookshelf that held at least three dictionaries, and Kevin sighed dramatically. “Can’t you just use your phone?” he asked. Suddenly it occurred to me that he did not even know how to use a dictionary. I took down one of the dictionaries, and we read it together for a few minutes before I handed it to him. It took him a few tries to find the word in question. While going through the pages, he kept saying, wide-eyed: “How can there be this many words?” After a while, he looked at me and asked, “Do you know all these words, Mom?” I smiled, “I definitely do not know all these words,” I said. “But that’s why this is one of my favorite books.” I had my first dictionary as a gift for my 13th birthday. I decided that I wanted to learn as many words as I could and started marking every entry I looked up with a pencil to measure my progress. I continued to make these pencil marks for years, and when I went off to college, I packed that dictionary in my suitcase. Kevin wanted to see the dictionary. I felt a small pain in my chest. The dictionary was stolen at the end of my freshman year of college. “That’s so sad,” he said, “but you still know all those words, even without the book.” I realized that this was true. I still made it through the next three years of college, even without the book. And it wasn’t, ultimately, the dictionary that got me there — not really. Now I understand that although my son may be learning differently, he is still learning. It’s not about the words themselves or how we learn them, but the wanting to know them, the curiosity and the appetite. 24. What does Kevin usually do to get the meaning of a word? A. Use electronic devices. B. Consult a paper dictionary. B. Guess from the context. D. Turn to his English teacher. 25. How did Kevin feel while looking up the word in the dictionary? A. Annoyed. B. Disappointed. C. Encouraged. D. Astonished. 26. What can we learn about the author’s first dictionary? A. It helped her through college. B. It was given to Kevin as a gift. B. It bore witness to her efforts. D. It was a valuable limited edition. 27. What has the author come to realize about learning? A. It is never too late to start. B. Motivation is what really matters.

B 24.A事实细节题 根据第一段Kevin 的话 But my screen time is off ...以及Can't you just use your phone?可知，Kevin习惯使用手机查词，而非查阅纸质词典。electronic devices指电子设备，其中包括手机。 25.D 观点态度题 根据第二段中的wide-eyed 以及Kevin的问句How can there be this many words?T Do you know all these words, Mom?可知,Kevin在查阅词典时被词条数量震撼，表现出惊讶的情绪。 26.C推理判断 根据第三段... started marking every entry I looked up with a pencil to measure my progress. I continued to make these pencil marks for years...可知，作者在词典上每个查阅过的词条旁做标记，并保持了这个习惯很多年，这些标记记录了作者逐词学习的过程与付出，C项是对这一细节的准确概括。 27.B推理判断题根据最后一段最后一句It's not about the words themselves or how we learn them, but the wanting to know them, the curiosity and the appetite.可知，作者最终领悟到学习的核心不在于词汇本身或学习方式，而在于求知的内在动力一一好奇心与求知欲，B项准确概括了这一核心思想。D项“词典仍是有用的工具”属强干扰项，文章虽讨论了词典，但作者的落脚点在人的内在动力，而非学习工具。 考向二 环境保护类 （2026·全国二卷·阅读B） Roland Reisley turned 101 years old in May and is in remarkable health. But that’s not the thing he prides himself on. “I am the last original client of Frank Lloyd Wright, still living in the home he designed for me,” Reisley said, sitting in the bright open living room of the home designed by the famous architect. The house where Reisley has lived for 73 years is located in the woods of Westchester County, New York, just 30 miles north of Manhattan. It’s one of 47 that make up the peaceful mid-20th-century modern village of Usonia. Back in 1951, Reisley was just 26, newly married and ready to put down roots. He and his wife began looking for a place in Manhattan. But what they liked, they couldn’t afford on his sound engineer’s salary and what they could, they didn’t like. Then they heard about Usonia. On their first trip out, they were greeted with such enthusiasm from the 10 families who’d already established homes there that they decided to join. The house has signature Wright features. It is made with local materials, has a flat roof, wood paneling, concrete floors and custom-made furniture. Over the decades, Reisley has opened his doors to visitors. The house is now listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Reisley said he’s tried his best to be a good steward (管家) not just of the Wright creation he lives in, but all others as well. He co-founded the Frank Lloyd Wright Building Conservancy, an organization engaged in the preservation of all of Wright’s remaining buildings. Reisley believes that his devotion to the home and the community are what have kept him in such good health all of these years. 24. How does Reisley feel about having Wright as his house designer? A. Honored. B. Amused. C. Stressed. D. Inspired. 25. What made Reisley finally decide to settle down in Usonia? A. Its natural environment. B. Its large-sized houses. C. The convenience of its location. D. The warmth of its residents. 26. What can we learn about Reisley’s house? A. It is older than its owner. B. It uses local materials. C. It has a pointed roof. D. It is put up for sale. 27. What can be inferred about Reisley from the last paragraph? A. He is very attached to Wright buildings. B. He is devoted to health education. C. He is an expert in home decoration. D. He is passionate about tourism. 语篇解读 主旨概要 本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了一位百岁老人Roland Reisley 作为著名建筑师 Frank Lloyd Wright唯一在世的原始住户，在其设计的房屋中居住73年、悉心守护房屋，并联合成立建筑保护组织、传承Wright建筑遗产的故事。 原文出处 选自NPR(美国全国公共广播电台)网站上2025年7月23日刊登的一篇名为 Whar's it like to have Frank Lloyd Wright design pour house?

Often students come to the classroom believing that learning can’t be fun and that what they learn isn’t relevant to the real world — much less to their personal interests. I’ve discovered that if I show students how what they learn is relevant to my hobbies, they’re much more willing to make connections to their personal interests and develop their own hobbies. No matter what subject I’m teaching, I find ways to bring my hobbies into the classroom. For example, I’m a car enthusiast, so when I teach physics, I contextualize concepts with my knowledge about cars. If we’re covering friction, for example, I bring different tires (轮胎) into my classroom so that my students can conduct lab experiments with them to see how friction works in real-life applications. When I first brought my hobbies to my classroom, I was focused on how doing so would build engagement and help my students understand concepts in science. But I quickly learned that the practice also helped me build stronger relationships with them. When I let them see an aspect of my life outside of school, some students who were also interested in cars connected with me more and became more engaged in my courses. Even those who didn’t share that interest with me seemed more engaged once I showed a different side of myself. What started as an experiment is now more of a philosophy. Even when I’m planning classes, I tend to think about how I can bring in my hobbies. I find that doing so energizes my instruction, engages my students, and demonstrates to them how abstract concepts play out in the real world. Best of all, my passion for my hobbies seems to inspire them to be passionate about finding their own. 24．What poses a challenge to teachers according to the author? A．Students’ misunderstandings about teachers. B．Students’ false assumptions about learning. C．The irrelevance of textbooks to students’ life. D．The gap between teachers’ and students’ hobbies. 25．Why does the author bring tires into the classroom? A．To teach an engineering skill. B．To explain the structure of a car. C．To share a real-life experience. D．To illustrate a scientific concept. 26．What was the unexpected outcome of the author’s teaching method? A．A higher class attendance rate. B．Better examination results. C．A closer teacher-student bond. D．More spare time for students. 27．Which of the following best describes the author as a teacher? A．Innovative. B．Humorous. C．Decisive. D．Sympathetic. 【答案】24．B 25．D 26．C 27．A 【语篇解读】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了一位教师为打破学生对学习的错误认知，将自己的爱好融入课堂教学的经历，介绍了该教学方式的具体实践、初衷，以及意外收获的师生关系升温的效果，最终这一做法成为其教学理念，不仅让课堂更生动，还能启发学生找到自身的兴趣热情。 【详解】24．细节理解题。根据第一段“When you’re a teacher, a big part of your job is battling student misconceptions. Often students come to the classroom believing that learning can’t be fun and that what they learn isn’t relevant to the real world — much less to their personal interests (作为一名教师，工作的很大一部分是纠正学生的错误认知。学生们走进教室时，往往认为学习毫无乐趣，所学的知识与现实世界无关，更不用说和他们的个人兴趣相关了)”可知，教师面临的一大挑战是学生对于学习的错误设想，认为学习无趣且和现实、自身兴趣无关。故选B。 25．细节理解题。根据第二段“I’m a car enthusiast, so when I teach physics, I contextualize concepts with my knowledge about cars. If we’re covering friction, for example, I bring different tires into my classroom so that my students can conduct lab experiments with them to see how friction works in real-life applications (我是一名汽车爱好者，所以教物理时，我会用汽车相关知识为物理概念创设情境。比如讲到摩擦力时，我会把不同的轮胎带到教室，让学生用它们做实验，看看摩擦力在现实生活中是如何起作用的)”可知，作者将轮胎带到教室，是为了借助实物实验，让学生理解摩擦力这一科学概念在现实中的应用，也就是阐释科学概念。故选D。 26．细节理解题。根据第三段“When I first brought my hobbies to my classroom, I was focused on how doing so would build engagement and help my students understand concepts in science. But I quickly learned that the practice also helped me build stronger relationships with them (起初我把爱好带进课堂时，一心想着这样做能提高学生的课堂参与度，帮助他们理解科学概念，但我很快发现，这种做法还帮助我和学生建立了更紧密的关系)”可知，作者将爱好融入课堂的初衷是提升参与度、帮助学生理解概念，而意外的结果是师生之间的联系变得更加紧密。故选C。 27．推理判断题。通读全文，尤其根据作者打破传统教学模式，主动将自己的汽车爱好融入物理课堂，通过第二段“If we’re covering friction, for example, I bring different tires into my classroom so that my students can conduct lab experiments with them to see how friction works in real-life applications (例如，如果我们要讨论摩擦，我会把不同的轮胎带到教室里，这样我的学生就可以用它们进行实验室实验，看看摩擦在现实生活中是如何工作的)”和最后一段“What started as an experiment is now more of a philosophy.Even when I'm planning classes，I tend to think about how I can bring in my hobbies.I find that doing so energizes my instruction，engages my students，and demonstrates to them how abstract concepts play out in the real world.Best of all，my passion for my hobbies seems to inspire them to be passionate about finding their own.(最初的尝试如今已演变成一种教学理念。即使在备课的时候，我也会思考如何把爱好融入教学。我发现这样做能让我的课堂更有活力，吸引学生的注意力，并向他们展示抽象概念在现实世界中的具体体现。最重要的是，我对爱好的热情似乎能激励他们满怀热情地去寻找属于自己的兴趣所在)”可知，作者作为教师，敢于创新教学方式，打破学生对学习的固有认知，是富有创新精神的。故选A。 Passage 2 （2025·全国一卷·阅读B） In my ninth-grade writing class last year, I met a cowboy who saved his town, a strict father who demanded his son earn straight A’s, and a modern-day Juliet who died of heartbreak after her parents rejected the love of her young life. More than once, I found myself wondering just how my students, who’d created these people, knew their subjects so well. But things were different for their first essay, which was about the question: “Why is writing important?” Most of the essays filled less than one page, and few contained a sentence that could be interpreted as a thesis (论点) statement. I was shocked. Then I realized that the problem was the question itself. They could have written pages on the necessity of computers, but writing, in and of itself, simply didn’t strike them as important. This would have to change. As a new unit started, I asked everyone to write a persuasive piece on a health-related topic of their choice. This time they found the exercise much more interesting. For the next two assignments, a personal-narrative unit followed by a creative-writing workshop, I only required that the piece meet the specifications of its genre (体裁) and that it contain a thesis. The results were staggering. The students took on diverse topics and turned in stories, 10 to 20 pages each, with characters that broadened my view and touched my heart. I walked into class believing that writing is important as a means of communication. However, my students demonstrated something more important to me. When the final bell rang in June, I walked away with a yearbook full of messages about writing’s most powerful significance — the ability to connect people, to put us in another’s skin, to teach us what it means to be human. 24. Who are the people mentioned at the beginning of paragraph 1? A. Ninth graders. B. Students’ parents. C. Modern writers. D. Fictional characters. 25. Why did the students perform poorly in writing their first essay? A. They were not given enough time. B. They had a very limited vocabulary. C. They misunderstood the question. D. They had little interest in the topic. 26. What does the underlined word “staggering” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Mixed. B. Amazing. C. Similar. D. Disturbing. 27 What does the author’s experience show? A. Teaching is learning. B. Still waters run deep. C. Knowledge is power. D. Practice makes perfect. 【答案】24．D 25．D 26．B 27. A 【导读】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述九年级写作课上，教师通过调整教学方式，让学生从最初写作表现不佳到创作出优秀作品，并领悟写作能连接人心、传递人性的意义。 【详解】 24.D 实细节根据第一段a cowboy who saved his town, a strict father .. and a modern-day Juliet who died of heartbreak ... my students,who'd created these people 可知，这些人物是学生作品中的角色，属于虚构人物。 25.D推理判断题由their first essay定位到文章第二段，根据第二段最后两句可知，学生表现不佳，问题就出在这个题目(Why is writing important?)上--他们本可以就电脑的必要性写上好多页，但写作本身对他们而言实在算不上重要。由此推知，学生对话题缺乏兴趣导致表现不佳。 26.B 词义猜测题 根据画线词下一句The students took on diverse topics and turned in stories, 10 to 20 pages each, with characters that broadened my view and touched my heart.可知，学生提交了 10-20页的故事，角色拓展了“我”的视野、触动了“我”的心。由此可知，这个结果应是正向的，amazing意为“(尤指好的)惊人的”，符合语境。 27.A主旨大意题 首段通过学生写作案例引出写作教学，第二段分析学生第一次写作失败的原因，第三段展示调整教学策略后的显著成效，末段揭示作者认知的转变--从写作是沟通工具到写作是连接人性的桥梁。全文通过教学实践案例，印证了教学相长(Teaching is learning)的教育理念。 Passage 3 （2025·北京高考·阅读B） Throughout our Junior year, my classmates and I have been worried about what colleges will see when they look at our whole life story reduced to a single 200-word essay. Will the golden word “success” form in their minds when they review our achievements? Or will they see the big word “fail” in red? The shadow of this mysterious (神秘的) institution steals away what success means to us. My first step of redefining success began with course registrations. It is a well-known fact, especially in my school, that Junior year is the time of packing many AP classes into the schedule. When asked why they chose so many AP classes, my friends responded: “I don’t know.” They themselves don’t know why they are following the crowd and longing for the pressures of academic difficulty. Therefore, they do not feel the satisfaction of being academically challenged. Completing many courses no longer brings out the feeling of success because more than four AP classes per year is a norm set by top universities. Determined to follow my instincts (本能) on what I felt success means, I only chose two classes that I knew I would enjoy. The feeling of success was no longer attached to what grade I received but to the pure joy of learning. Even my failures are attached to a feeling of success; after I take a step back and look at the big picture, I see them as a launching pad (平台) for my next big achievement. In the ninth grade, I went in for my first group interview for a leadership position as a shy girl. Not standing a chance against competitive applicants, I came out of the interview with an upset look. Nevertheless, this interview wasn’t a wasted opportunity. I talked to one of the senior applicants who answered questions in a way that reflected the faith she had in herself. This year, with an open mind and new knowledge in mind, I walked into another group interview while telling myself I was that cool senior. I managed to secure a leadership position. Ultimately, success came little by little. 24. Throughout the Junior year, what was the author’s major concern? A. Pressure from choosing AP classes. B. Performance in group interviews. C. Competition with seniors. D. Recognition by colleges. 25. The author chose fewer AP classes because of _______. A. her own understanding of success B. her desire for academic challenges C. her strong urge to follow the crowd D. her dream of entering a top university 26. Which would best describe the author’s first group interview? A Dignifying. B. Rewarding. C. Engaging. D. Relaxing. 27. What can we learn from this passage? A. Everyone is the maker of their own success. B. Success favours those with a golden heart. C. Success knocks at your door only once. D. A college holds the key to success. 【答案】24. D 25. A 26. B 27. A 【语篇解读】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章主要讲述了作者在高三时对大学申请和成功定义的反思，不再盲目追随他人选择大量AP课程，而是基于个人兴趣选课，并从失败的小组面试中学习，通过自我调整最终获得领导职位。 24.推理判断题。根据第一段中“Throughout our Junior year, my classmates and I have been worried about what colleges will see when they look at our whole life story reduced to a single 200-word essay. Will the golden word “success” form in their minds when they review our achievements? Or will they see the big word “fail” in red? (在整个高三期间，我和我的同学们一直担心，当大学将我们的整个人生故事浓缩成一篇200字的短文时，他们会看到什么。当他们回顾我们的成就时，脑海中会浮现出‘成功’这个金灿灿的词汇吗？还是会看到用红色标注的‘失败’这个醒目的大字？)”可知，作者在高三年级主要担心的是大学对他们的认可。故选D。 25.细节理解题。根据第三段中“Determined to follow my instincts (本能) on what I felt success means, I only chose two classes that I knew I would enjoy. (我决心追随自己对成功的直觉理解，只选择了两门我确信自己会喜欢的课程。)”可知，作者选择较少的AP课程是因为她自己对成功的理解。故选A。 26.推理判断题。根据第四段中“Nevertheless, this interview wasn’t a wasted opportunity. I talked to one of the senior applicants who answered questions in a way that reflected the faith she had in herself. (然而，这次面试并不是一次浪费的机会。我和一位高年级的申请者交谈，她回答问题的方式反映了她对自己的信心。)”以及最后一段中“This year, with an open mind and new knowledge in mind, I walked into another group interview while telling myself I was that cool senior. I managed to secure a leadership position. Ultimately, success came little by little. (今年，我带着开放的心态和新的知识，再次走进集体面试的现场，告诉自己我就是那位自信满满的高年级学生。最终，我成功获得了一个领导职位。成功，就这样一点点地向我走来。)”可知，作者认为第一次面试是有收获的，因为它让作者从中学到了东西，并影响了她后来的面试表现。故选B。 27.推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是由文章第三段中“Determined to follow my instincts (本能) on what I felt success means, I only chose two classes that I knew I would enjoy. (我决心追随自己对成功的直觉理解，只选择了两门我确信自己会喜欢的课程。)”以及最后一段中“This year, with an open mind and new knowledge in mind, I walked into another group interview while telling myself I was that cool senior.

(今年，我带着开放的心态和新的知识，再次走进集体面试的现场，告诉自己我就是那位自信满满的高年级学生。最终，我成功获得了一个领导职位。成功，就这样一点点地向我走来。)”可知，作者通过自己的经历表明，成功并非由大学或外界标准定义，而是源于自我认知与努力。“Everyone is the maker of their own success. (每个人都是自己成功的创造者。)” 符合题意。故选A。 Passage 4 （2025·全国二卷·阅读B） Kathy Ho teaches high school inside Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital Stanford (LPCH). “Sometimes I don’t like saying that I’m a teacher,” says Ho. “People get in their minds an idea of what teachers do, but that’s not really what it is here.” “Here” is room 386, where each year, about 500 LPCH patients also become students. The hospital school is free of parents, doctors, and medical procedures. It’s a place of learning. About half of Ho’s students stay for a week or less; others are there for more than a year. Most of Ho’s students will recover, which means that preparing them to return to school is an increasingly important component of care. Still, in room 386, academics don’t come first. Physical health and mental health are the priority. “If you’re scared about something and thinking only about that, there’s no way you’re going to be able to learn,” Ho says. “I’m a coach, an adviser, and a comforter, and that’s what it means to be a hospital teacher.” There are up to 30 students at any given time in Ho’s class. She generally works with their regular teachers to get lessons and tests being used at their home schools. Some teachers don’t give the kids any assignments; they express sympathy instead. “I feel like it is a disservice to the kids,” Ho says. “They think their teachers don’t care about their schoolwork.” Ho recognizes the psychological benefit of helping kids keep up with their peers (同龄人) outside the hospital. “I actually think the medicine is only a small piece for some problems,” says Julie Good, director of pain management services at LPCH. “It’s about problem-solving around what it means to have a full life. Those kids have dreams. School can keep those dreams alive by giving kids a way to learn and grow.” 24. Who does Ho teach at LPCH? A. Sick children. B. Young nurses. C. Medical students. D. Patients’ parents. 25. What is a characteristic of Ho’s job? A. Prioritizing academics. B. Encouraging innovation. C. Treating various diseases. D. Playing multiple roles. 26. What does the underlined word “it” refer to in paragraph 4? A. Offering regular lessons. B. Paying extra attention. C. Assigning no schoolwork. D. Showing no sympathy. 27. How does the hospital school benefit the students according to Good? A. It eases peer pressure. B. It helps them live in hope. C. It frees them from aches. D. It entertains them with stories. 【答案】24．A 25．D 26．C 27. B 【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了医院教师凯西·霍如何帮助患病学生在住院期间保持梦想、继续进行课业学习的故事。 24. A 事实细节题 根据第一段第一句Kathy Ho teaches high school inside Lucile Packard Children's Hospital Stanford (LPCH).和第二段第一句中的...about 500 LPCH patients also become students.可知,Ho 在这家儿童医院教的是病人，即生病的孩子，故选A。 25. D 事实细节题 根据第三段中Ho 说的话 I'm a coach,an adviser, and a comforter,...可知，作为医院教师，她在工作中扮演教练、顾问和安慰者等多种角色，故选D。 26. C词义猜测题 本题是词义猜测题中的代词指代题。根据画线词所在句的上一句 Some teachers don't give the kids any assignments; they express sympathy instead.和下一句They think their teachers don't care about their schoolwork.可知，一些老师不给生病的孩子们布置作业，更多的是表示同情，而孩子们则认为老师这样做是不关心他们的学业，前后对比说明不布置作业反而对他们来说是一种伤害，it指代前面提到的some teachers don't give the kids any assignments, C 项 "Assigning no schoolwork." . 27. B推理判断题 根据题干中的Good定位到文章最后一段，根据Good说的话可知，药物只是解决某些问题的一小部分，而医院学校可以通过让孩子们学习和成长，保持他们的梦想，让他们生活在希望中，故选B。 【文学艺术类】 Passage 1 （2024·北京高考·阅读B） When I was a little girl, I liked drawing, freely and joyously making marks on the walls at home. In primary school, I learned to write using chalks. Writing seemed to be another form of drawing. I shaped individual letters into repeating lines, which were abstract forms, delightful but meaningless patterns. In secondary school, art was my favourite subject. Since I loved it so much I thought I was good at it. For the art O-level exam I had to present an oil painting. I found it difficult, but still hoped to pass. I failed, with a low grade. I’d been over-confident. Now I’d been declared talentless. But other channels of creativity stayed open: I went on writing poems and stories. Still, I went to exhibitions often. I continued my habitual drawing, which I now characterised as childish doodling (乱画). In my 30s, I made painter friends and learned new ways of looking at art. However, I couldn’t let myself have a go at actually doing it. Though these new friends were abstract painters using oil paints, or were printmakers or sculptors, I took oil painting as the taboo (禁忌) high form I wasn’t allowed to practice.      One night, in my early 40s, I dreamed that a big woman in red approached me, handed me a bag of paints, and told me to start painting. The dream felt so authoritative that it shook me. It was a form of energy, giving me back something I’d lost. Accordingly, I started by experimenting with water colours. Finally, I bought some oil paints. Although I have enjoyed breaking my decades-long taboo about working with oil paints, I have discovered I now prefer chalks and ink. I let my line drawings turn into cartoons I send to friends. It all feels free and easy. Un-anxious. This time around, I can accept my limitations but keep going. Becoming a successful painter calls for being resolute. I realised I was always afraid of wanting too much. That dream reminded me that those fears and desires could encourage me to take risks and make experiments. 24．How did the author feel about the result of the art exam? A．Scared. B．Worried. C．Discouraged. D．Wronged. 25．In her 30s, the author _________. A．avoided oil painting practice B．sought for a painting career C．fancied abstract painting D．exhibited child paintings 26．Which word would best describe the author’s dream? A．Confusing. B．Empowering. C．Disturbing. D．Entertaining. 27．What can we learn from this passage? A．Actions speak louder than words. B．Hard work is the mother of success. C．Dreams are the reflections of realities. D．Creative activities involve being confident. 【答案】24．C 25．A 26．B 27．D 【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者一直喜欢绘画，但中学时由于油画测试成绩较低，作者对绘画失去了信心。在40岁出头时，一个梦让作者重拾画油画的信心并接受了自身局限性的故事。 【详解】24．推理判断题。根据第二段“I found it difficult, but still hoped to pass.

Now I’d been declared talentless.(我觉得很难，但仍希望能通过测试。我没有通过，而且成绩很低。我过于自信了。现在，我被宣布为毫无(油画)天赋的人了)”并结合下文中作者多年不碰油画的经历可推知，作者对美术考试的结果感到气馁。故选C。 25．细节理解题。根据第三段“In my 30s, I made painter friends and learned new ways of looking at art.(在我30多岁时，我结交了画家朋友们，学到了看待艺术的新方法)”和“Though these new friends were abstract painters using oil paints, or were printmakers or sculptors, I took oil painting as the taboo (禁忌) high form I wasn’t allowed to practice. (虽然这些新朋友是使用油画颜料的抽象画师，或者是版画家或雕塑家，但我把油画作为禁忌的高级形式，不允许我练习)”可知，作者在30多岁时回避练习油画。故选A。 26．推理判断题。根据第四段“The dream felt so authoritative that it shook me. It was a form of energy, giving me back something I’d lost. (这个梦给我的感觉是如此的权威，它震撼了我。它是能量的一种形式，让我回我失去了的东西)”可知，作者的梦赋予作者练习油画的力量。故选B。 27．推理判断题。根据第六段“Becoming a successful painter calls for being resolute.

"I am ahead of my time. "If he seems a little defensive, it might be because even some of his coworkers occasionally laugh at his unusual methods. But Farber is certain he'll have the last laugh. He's one of a small but growing number of American veterinarians(兽医) now practicing"holistic"medicine-combining traditional Western treatments with acupuncture,  chiropractic(按摩疗法)and herbal medicine. Farber, a graduate of Colorado State University, started out as a more conventional veterinarian. He became interested in alternative treatments 20 years ago when he suffered from terrible back pain. He tried muscle-relaxing drugs but found little relief. Then he tried acupuncture, an ancient Chinese practice, and was amazed that he improved after two or three treatments. What worked on a veterinarian seemed likely to work on his patients. So, after studying the techniques for a couple of years, he began offering them to pets. Leigh Tindale's dog Charlie had a serious heart condition. After Charlie had a heart attack, Tindale says, she was prepared to put him to sleep, but Farber's treatments eased her dog's suffering so much that she was able to keep him alive for an additional five months. And Priscilla Dewing reports that her horse, Nappy,"moves more  easily  and  rides more comfortably"after a chiropractic adjustment. Farber is certain that the holistic approach will grow more popular with time, and if the past is any indication, he may be right: Since 1982, membership  in the American Holistic  Veterinary Medical Association has grown from 30 to over 700. “Sometimes it surprises me  that it works so well,"he says. "I will do anything to help an animal. That's my job. " 24. What do some of Farber's coworkers think of him? A. He's odd. B. He's  strict.               C. He's brave D. He's rude.   25. Why did Farber decide to try acupuncture on pets? A. He was trained in it at university. B. He was inspired by another veterinarian. C. He benefited from it as a patient. D. He wanted to save money for pet owners. 26. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. Steps of a chiropractic treatment. B. The complexity of veterinarians' work. C. Examples of rare animal diseases. D. The effectiveness of holistic medicine. 27. Why does the author mention the American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association? A. To prove Farber's point. B. To emphasize its importance. C. To praise veterinarians. D. To advocate animal protection. 【答案】24．A 25．C 26．D 27. A 【语篇解读】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。兽医WilliamFarber奉行中西医结合的整体医学疗法，用针灸、按摩等方式治疗动物并取得了良好疗效。 【详解】 24. A推理判断题 根据第一段第一句I am not crazy以及第三句中的some of his coworkers occasionally laugh at his unusual method 可知, Farber的一些同事认为他很怪异(odd)，因此A选项正确。 25. C推理判断题 根据第二段内容可知，20年前有段时间Farber背部疼痛难忍，用药无效后尝试接受中医针灸治疗并取得很好的治疗效果。他受到启发，经过多年研习后，将此疗法应用于动物，因此C选项正确。26.D主旨大意题第三段通过两个具体的治疗案例说明整体医学疗法对于动物治疗的有效性，因此D选项正确。 27.A推理判断题从最后一段可知，兽医William Farber确信整体医学将会越来越受欢迎。自1982年以来，美国整体医疗兽医协会会员人数的增长印证了这一观点，因此A选项正确。 【社会生活类】 Passage 1 （2025·浙江1月阅读B） When I was a child I was often told what not to eat. “You don’t want to get fat” was on constant repeat throughout my childhood. It really messed up my relationship with food — something that took me years to overcome. Because of this, I’m careful not to connect what my kids weigh with their worth as people. I encourage my daughter to make healthy snack choices and often dissuade (劝阻) her from a second dessert. But one day when I heard her saying “I think I’m too fat,” my heart sank. It made me wonder if giving her advice on snacks was having an unintentionally negative impact. According to Charlotte Markey, a professor of psychology, food is one of the rare subjects where, as parents, saying less is more. “There are so many things in parenting that are good to talk through, but I’m not convinced that food is one of them,” she says. “It just creates some worries and insecurities in kids that aren’t necessarily healthy.” Instead, she recommends applying a well-known concept among nutrition experts called the “Division of Responsibility,” where parents provide a variety of mostly healthy foods to their kids at fixed times, and the kids themselves decide what and how much they want to consume — even if that means occasionally eating more cookies than carrots. Allowing kids to eat what they want also exposes them to the natural consequences of their decisions. “When your child says, ‘My stomach hurts,’ you can say, ‘Well you had a lot of sugary foods and you might feel better if you made some other choices,’” says Markey. “Let them feel like they have some control over it.” I’ve been trying out these strategies and I’ve found that when I’m less restrictive, they do make better decisions. “Feeding is a long game,” says Markey. “The food you have available makes a huge difference. Even if they don’t eat it, they’ re seeing it. And then all of a sudden it clicks.” 24. What can be inferred about the author from the first paragraph? A. She is upset by her kids’ weight. B. She is critical of the way she was fed. C. She is interested in making food. D. She is particular about what she eats. 25. Which of the following would Markey disapprove of? A. Allowing kids to eat cookies occasionally. B. Offering various foods to kids at fixed times. C. Explaining to kids the risks of taking snacks. D. Talking with kids about school at mealtimes. 26. What should kids do according to the “Division of Responsibility”? A. Make diet decisions on their own. B. Share their food with other kids. C. Eat up what is provided for them. D. Help their parents do the dishes. 27. What does the author think of the strategies she has been following? A. Costly. B. Complex. C. Workable. D. Contradictory. 【答案】24. B 25. C 26. A 27. C 【语篇解读】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者自己因童年时被灌输饮食观念而影响了与食物的关系，心理学家建议家长在饮食上少干预，作者尝试策略后发现孩子能做更好的饮食决策。 24.推理判断题。根据第一段中“When I was a child I was often told what not to eat. ‘You don’t want to get fat’ was on constant repeat throughout my childhood. It really messed up my relationship with food — something that took me years to overcome. (当我还是个孩子的时候，我经常被告知什么不能吃。“你不想变胖”这句话在我整个童年时期不断重复。这真的搞砸了我与食物的关系 —— 这是我花了多年时间才克服的问题)”可知，作者童年时被灌输的饮食观念对其产生了负面影响，由此可推断出，作者对自己童年时被喂养的方式持批判态度。故选B项。 25.推理判断题。根据第二段“According to Charlotte Markey, a professor of psychology, food is one of the rare subjects where, as parents, saying less is more. ‘There are so many things in parenting that are good to talk through, but I’m not convinced that food is one of them,’ she says. ‘It just creates some worries and insecurities in kids that aren’t necessarily healthy.’ (根据心理学教授夏洛特·马基的说法，食物是为数不多的家长说得少反而更好的话题之一。“在育儿方面，有很多事情值得深入讨论，但我不认为食物是其中之一，”她说。“这只会给孩子们带来一些不必要的担忧和不安全感，这并不健康。”)”可知，马基不赞成家长和孩子过多谈论食物相关的话题，而向孩子解释吃零食的风险属于谈论食物的话题，所以马基不会赞成。故选C项。 26.细节理解题。根据第三段“Instead, she recommends applying a well known concept among nutrition experts called the ‘Division of Responsibility,’ where parents provide a variety of mostly healthy foods to their kids at fixed times, and the kids themselves decide what and how much they want to consume — even if that means occasionally eating more cookies than carrots. (相反，她建议应用营养专家中一个著名的概念，即‘责任划分’，在这个概念中，家长在固定的时间为孩子提供各种主要是健康的食物，而孩子自己决定想吃什么和吃多少 —— 即使这意味着偶尔吃的饼干比胡萝卜多)”可知，根据“责任划分”，孩子应该自己做饮食决策。故选A项。 27.推理判断题。根据最后一段中“I’ve been trying out these strategies and I’ve found that when I’m less restrictive, they do make better decisions. (我一直在尝试这些策略，我发现当我不那么严格限制时，他们确实会做出更好的决策)”可知，孩子们确实会做出更好的决策，所以作者会认为自己所遵循的策略是可行的。故选C项。 Passage 2 （2024·浙江1月阅读B） When was the last time you used a telephone box? I mean to make an actual phone call — not to shelter from the rain. Ages ago right? The last time I used a phone box for its intended purpose was…2006. I was conducting auditions (试演) for my play in my tiny old shared house in London. Hoping to impress some talented actors to come and work for me for nothing, I spread some throws over the sofas and lit candles to make it seem a bit more ”young professional”. As I rushed outdoors to empty the wastepaper baskets, the door swung shut behind me. Suddenly I was locked outside. My mobile phone was inside, but luckily there was a telephone box across the street. So, I called Directory Assistance, got put through to our landlady’s managing agent, and had a spare key sent to me with just enough time to get back in before the actors arrived. As it has been many years since I last used one, I should hardly be surprised that then are no longer any public telephones near my house. The last one standing has just been turn into a “mini community library”: any passer-by can “borrow” a book from its shelves return it later, or replace it with another title from their own collection. For a few months after the “library” opened, I didn’t bother taking a look, as I had assumed that it would be stuffed full of cheese love stories. Then I noticed fork conducting spring cleans dropping boxes of voluminous books on various subjects there. And these books were free. This unbeatable price-point encouraged me to experiment with dozens of titles that I would never normally consider buying. And I’ve discovered some great books! If I ever get trapped outside my house again, my local telephone box will, sadly no longer be able to connect me with my keys. But it can certainly keep me entertained while I wait for my wife to rescue me. 24. What does the underlined word “it” in the first paragraph refer to? A. The play. B. The shared house. C. The sofa. D. The telephone box. 25. Why did the author use the telephone box in 2006? A. To place an urgent call. B. To put up a notice. C. To shelter from the rain. D. To hold an audition. 26. What do we know about the “mini community library”? A. It provides phone service for free. B. Anyone can contribute to its collection. C. It is popular among young readers. D. Books must be returned within a month. 27. Why did the author start to use the “library”? A. He wanted to borrow some love stories. B. He was encouraged by a close neighbour. C. He found there were excellent free books. D. He thought it was an ideal place for reading. 【答案】24. B 25. A 26. B 27. C 【语篇解读】这是一篇记叙文。随着手机的普及，电话亭渐渐地被人们遗忘，作者家附近的最后一个电话亭被改造成了“迷你图书馆”，作者偶然发现那里有很多不错的免费书籍，这让作者觉得很棒。 24.词句猜测题。根据第一段第五句“I was conducting auditions (试演) for my play in my tiny old shared house in London.(我当时在伦敦我那狭小的合租房子里为我的剧本进行试演。)”可知，此处是指使“我”的合租房看起来更“年轻专业”一点，所以it代指“合租房”。故选B。 25.细节理解题。根据第二段第四句“So, I called Directory Assistance, got put through to our landlady’s managing agent, and had a spare key sent to me with just enough time to get back in before the actors arrived.(所以，我打电话给电话查号台，接通了女房东的经纪人，他们给了我一把备用钥匙，刚好来得及在演员们到来之前回去。)”可知，作者在2006年使用电话亭是为了拨打紧急电话。故选A。 26.细节理解题。根据第三段第二句“The last one standing has just been turn into a “mini community library”: any passer-by can “borrow” a book from its shelves return it later, or replace it with another title from their own collection.(最后一个被改造成了一个“迷你社区图书馆”：任何路过的人都可以从它的书架上“借”书，以后还回来，或者用自己收藏的另一本书来替换。)”可知，任何人都可以为“迷你社区图书馆”的捐赠图书。故选B。 27.细节理解题。根据第四段最后四句“Then I noticed fork conducting spring cleans dropping boxes of voluminous books on various subjects there. And these books were free. This unbeatable price-point encouraged me to experiment with dozens of titles that I would never normally consider buying. And I’ve discovered some great books!(然后我注意到福克正在进行春季大扫除，把各种主题的大书一箱箱地扔到那里。而且这些书是免费的。这个无与伦比的价格点鼓励我尝试许多我通常不会考虑购买的标题。我还发现了一些很棒的书！)”可知，作者发现“迷你图书馆”里有很多免费的很棒的书，所以开始使用。故选C。 分析近几年的高考试题，可以发现阅读理解B篇大部分是考查记叙文，话题接近社会生活实际，细节题覆盖人物行为、事件原因、事物特征。词义猜测题考查词义替换,或者根据句子的上下文的语境进行推测;推理判断题会对人物性格进行推断; 主旨大意题概括故事内容；对于2027年高考题，细节理解题可能会跨段整合细节、因果倒置设问，需区分表层行为与深层目的; 词义猜测题会依托人物情绪、故事语境推断动词 / 短语，少单纯字面释义;推理判断题会侧重主旨感悟、作者深层观点、故事隐含人生道理，无原文直接依据;主旨大意题我们要区分记事抒情、人物赞美、反思社会三类写作目的. 【文化教育类】 Passage 1 （2026·安徽省临泉田家炳实验中学·模拟预测） To write about food, we can be reporting on deforestation for palm oil production, the animal welfare conditions in industrial meat-processing, etc. But for readers, it will all come back to the grocery store, the kitchen, and the menu they’re faced with at a restaurant. How do we navigate this field which includes loss of biodiversity, greedy businessmen, climate change — without overwhelming but instead empowering and encouraging readers? As an essayist, a cultural critic and food writer, at the end of the day, I am trying to attract my readers to consider what they eat. It requires that I involve and insert myself into this human dilemma. After all, I have to eat too. I once wrote that in order to trust someone on the subject of food, I need to know about their eating history and appetites. This isn’t because I want to measure my own appetite against theirs to ensure we line up, but because it provides significant context: What purpose does food serve in your life? I want to know, so that I can understand why you’re choosing to take it as a focus, whether in a writing career or just one essay. I grew up on Long Island, spent years in Brooklyn, and now live in San Juan, Puerto Rico. My upbringing consisted of all the Italian, Chinese, Japanese, and Greek food one might imagine a kid just outside New York City would eat, plus Puerto Rican food influenced by my paternal grandmother’s heritage. My eating biography includes a lot of experiences — as eater, as server, as cook — and a commitment to what tastes good. All of these are useful knowledge for my perspective, and it’s why there is a touch of memoir threaded throughout what is seemingly a cultural history: If I could grow up eating everything, how did I end up with all these ethical concerns and commitments around the food system? I take the ordinary, the everyday and the ancestral (祖先的) with me when I write about how we have eaten for the past 50 years, and how we could eat in the future. How do I eat and what do I cook when I feel the weight of all these on my shoulders? 1. What does the author’s writing mainly focus on? A. The influence of human diet. B. The nutritional value of food. C. The economic impact of food production. D. The effectiveness of the actions of the local government. 2. Why does the author need to know her readers’ appetites? A. To make comparisons. B. To list examples. C. To understand their background. D. To better know herself. 3. What is the author mainly discussing in paragraph 4? A. Her multicultural identity. B. Her rich experiences with food. C. Her fascination with special foods. D. Her understanding of foreign foods. 4. What does the author convey about the future diet? A. It will empower humans. B. It will be influenced by the past. C. It will become less diverse. D. It will be mainly based on personal preference. 【答案】1. A 2. C 3. B 4. B 【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了作者作为一名散文家、文化评论家和食品作家，在探讨食品相关话题时的个人视角和写作方法。 1.细节理解题。根据第三段“This isn’t because I want to measure my own appetite against theirs to ensure we line up, but because it provides significant context: What purpose does food serve in your life? I want to know, so that I can understand why you’re choosing to take it as a focus, whether in a writing career or just one essay. (这并不是因为我想把自己的胃口与他们的胃口进行对比，以确保我们的胃口一致，而是因为它提供了一个重要的背景：食物在你的生活中起到了什么作用？我想知道，这样我就能理解你为什么选择把它作为一个重点，无论是在写作生涯还是只是一篇文章。)”可知，作者的写作主要关注人类饮食的影响。故选A。 2.推理判断题。根据第三段“This isn’t because I want to measure my own appetite against theirs to ensure we line up, but because it provides significant context: What purpose does food serve in your life?

The written exam went well, so we moved onto the second stage of the competition, which consisted of explaining an exercise in front of a panel of professors. Honestly, I was very tense. To make matters worse, my hands were sweating a lot. When I was assigned the exercise and started solving it on the board, I tried to stay calm. It was going pretty well, actually, until I said something ridiculous. I said something like: “The area of the triangle is the base (底) times the height divided by 4.” As soon as I realized my mistake, I corrected myself aloud while trying to erase the board with my hand, but my sweat made the blackboard look like a crime scene. An old professor noticed my struggle and said, “I think we’ve seen enough. Thank you.” I left the room with my head down. Days later, I found out that I had passed the competition and secured a position. My grade gave me the opportunity to choose which professor I wanted to work with and I chose the one who had saved me at that moment, professor Martin! Before my first tutoring session, some colleagues told me that, in their advanced calculus class, a professor had shared the story of a girl who had gotten so nervous that she “flooded” the board with sweat and didn’t even know the area of a triangle. I felt extremely angry and confronted the professor immediately. I told him how unprofessional it was for him to mock a student who was just trying her best and if I were truly incompetent, the hiring committee — including him — was at fault. The professor, surprised, felt very sorry and apologized. I accepted his apology. No matter how much effort you put in or how well you do, some will focus on your mistakes. What matters is how you respond. That experience taught me to express my thoughts bravely, to communicate my concerns, and to set boundaries when I consider something to be unprofessional or unacceptable. 1．How did the author feel when she left the interview room? A．Extremely nervous. B．Deeply frustrated. C．Slightly regretful. D．Surprisingly calm. 2．Why did the author choose Professor Martin? A．He offered her a flexible tutoring schedule. B．He was known for his strict teaching methods. C．He had helped her during the difficult moment. D．He was the only professor who gave her a high grade. 3．Which of the following best describes the author? A．Capable but overly sensitive. B．Courageous and straightforward. C．Hardworking but easily discouraged. D．Remarkably quick but deeply unforgiving. 4．Which of the following is the best title? A．Sweat, Tears, and a Triangle Mistake. B．I Made a Mistake — and Got an Apology. C．I Divided by 4 — and Got the Last Laugh. D．A Flooded Board, a Divided Formula, and a Job Offer. 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．B 4．C 【语篇解读】文章主要讲述作者应聘数学辅导岗位时临场犯错倍感失落，最终却成功入职，后续直面调侃自己的教授并维护自身立场，从中收获成长感悟的故事。 【详解】21．推理判断题。根据原文第二段“I left the room with my head down.(我低着头离开了房间。)”可知，作者离开面试房间时内心十分沮丧。 1．细节理解题。根据原文第三段“My grade gave me the opportunity to choose which professor I wanted to work with and I chose the one who had saved me at that moment, professor Martin!(我的成绩让我可以选择合作的教授，我选择了当时帮我解围的马丁教授。)”可知，作者选择马丁教授是因为他曾在窘境中帮助过自己。 2．推理判断题。根据原文第五段“I felt extremely angry and confronted the professor immediately.(我十分气愤，立刻前去与这位教授对峙。)”及“I told him how unprofessional it was for him to mock a student who was just trying her best and if I were truly incompetent, the hiring committee — including him — was at fault.(我告诉他，嘲讽一名拼尽全力的学生是很不专业的行为。倘若我确实能力不足，那包括他在内的招聘委员会也难辞其咎。)”可知，作者性格坦率，敢于直面问题、表达自身想法，勇敢且直率。 3．主旨大意题。根据原文第二段“ It was going pretty well, actually, until I said something ridiculous. I said something like: “The area of the triangle is the base times the height divided by 4.”(其实讲解过程原本还算顺利，直到我说出了荒唐的话。我当时说道：“三角形面积等于底乘高再除以四。”)”及第三段“Days later, I found out that I had passed the competition and secured a position.(几天后，我得知自己通过考核，成功获得了这份岗位。)”可知，全文围绕作者计算三角形面积出现除以4的失误展开，虽当众出糗，最终却成功被录取，还勇敢争取自身权益，扭转局面笑到最后。 【环境保护类】 Passage 1 （2026·浙江绍兴市诸暨市·5月高三适应性考试） Alia Bhatt grew up in Mumbai surrounded by animals, largely because her sister Shaheen kept bringing home stray kittens. These strays often arrived in poor condition — starving or sick. When their mother tried to stop the parade of kittens, the girls hid them in their room until they recovered. “It was compulsive, almost,” Bhatt says. “My heart opened up very young.” This love of animals stayed with her into adulthood. Today, as one of India’s most recognizable actresses with nearly 90 million Instagram followers, she uses her reach to highlight animal welfare and environmental issues through films, children’s books, and campaigns. “I started to question if my voice had quality,” she says. “I decided to focus on something I’m passionate about — and that’s animals.” Bhatt’s tactics (策略) are creative and varied. Her 2021-founded production company, Eternal Sunshine, has a logo featuring two cats. She executive produced Poacher, a 2024 hit miniseries based on a real elephant poaching investigation in India. Eternal Sunshine also partners with an eco-film festival to encourage filmmakers to focus on the environment. “Stories have an amazing way to impact our minds,” Bhatt says. “Once you tell a story, it’s there forever.” Stories can profoundly impact children, and Bhatt is the author of The Adventures of Ed-a-Mamma, a children’s book series following a girl and her adopted dog on animal-helping adventures. Inspired by her daughter’s love for animals, she aims to foster children’s passion for wildlife. Bhatt also launched MiSu, a resale platform for pre-loved celebrity clothes, extending garment lifespans, cutting waste, and boosting India’s circular fashion. Bhatt doesn’t consider herself an environmental expert. Her partner Dorita D’ Souza notes she makes conservation accessible, driven by the deep empathy for animals she developed in childhood. 1．What drives Alia Bhatt to engage in animal and environmental protection? A．Fame seeking. B．Family pressure. C．Childhood passion. D．Expertise pursuit. 2．What is a practical measure taken by Alia Bhatt for public welfare? A．Keeping stray animals at home.

A．Cautious and ambitious. B．Humorous and diligent. C．Compassionate and committed. D．Generous and innovative. 4．What message does the passage mainly convey? A．Childhood experiences shape lifelong deeds. B．Small acts of kindness make a great difference. C．Media raises public awareness of welfare issues. D．Celebrities should bear more social responsibilities. 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．C 4．A 【语篇解读】本文讲述了印度知名女演员阿莉雅·布哈特从小与动物结缘，成年后利用自身影响力，通过制作环保主题影视作品、撰写儿童动物保护书籍、推出二手服装转售平台等多种方式，积极投身动物福利与环境保护事业的故事。 【详解】1．细节理解题。根据第一段中的“‘It was compulsive, almost,’ Bhatt says. ‘My heart opened up very young.’(“这几乎难以自禁，”布哈特说，“我的心很早就敞开了。”)”以及第二段中的“This love of animals stayed with her into adulthood.(这份对动物的热爱一直伴随她到成年。)”可知，童年时期对动物的热爱是她投身动物和环保事业的驱动力。 2．细节理解题。根据第三段中的“She executive produced Poacher, a 2024 hit miniseries based on a real elephant poaching investigation in India.(她担任了2024年热门迷你剧《偷猎者》的执行制片人，该剧基于印度一起真实的大象偷猎调查事件改编。)”以及第四段中的“Bhatt is the author of The Adventures of Ed-a-Mamma, a children’s book series following a girl and her adopted dog on animal-helping adventures.(布哈特是《艾德妈妈历险记》系列儿童书籍的作者，该系列讲述了一个女孩和她收养的狗一起帮助动物的冒险故事。)”可知，制作相关的电影和撰写书籍是她采取的实际公益措施。 3．推理判断题。根据第一段“Alia Bhatt grew up in Mumbai surrounded by animals, largely because her sister Shaheen kept bringing home stray kittens. These strays often arrived in poor condition — starving or sick. When their mother tried to stop the parade of kittens, the girls hid them in their room until they recovered. “It was compulsive, almost,” Bhatt says. “My heart opened up very young.”(阿莉雅·布哈特在孟买长大，周围都是动物，这主要是因为她的妹妹莎欣一直带着流浪小猫回家。这些流浪猫来的时候往往身体状况不佳——饥饿或生病。当她们的母亲试图阻止小猫时，女孩们把它们藏在房间里，直到它们康复。“这几乎难以自禁，”布哈特说，“我的心很早就敞开了。”)”和第二段中的“she uses her reach to highlight animal welfare and environmental issues through films, children’s books, and campaigns.(她利用自己的影响力通过电影、儿童读物和活动来强调动物福利和环境问题。)”以及全文内容可知，她童年照顾流浪猫、成年后致力于动物福利和环保事业，由此可推测出，她富有同情心且坚定投入。 4．推理判断题。文章开篇描述了布哈特童年时期救助流浪猫的经历，随后讲述了这份童年的热爱如何延续到成年，促使她利用自己的影响力通过电影、书籍和平台进行动物保护和环保活动，结尾“she makes conservation accessible, driven by the deep empathy for animals she developed in childhood.(她让保护变得触手可及，这是她在童年时期对动物产生的深切同情所驱动的。)”也提到她童年的共情心驱动了她的行动。整篇文章贯穿了童年经历对她成年后行为和事业选择的决定性影响。 Passage 2 （2026·福建南平市·二模） When Lila Martinez moved to Maple Street, she was struck by a marked contrast. The houses were well-kept, with flowers blooming in most yards, but at the corner of her block sat a 1,200-square-foot parking lot — a dumping ground for old tires, broken furniture, and overgrown weeds. To Lila, it looked like a “wound” that the neighborhood had simply learned to ignore. Instead of complaining, the 17-year-old decided to take action. She began knocking on doors, a clipboard in hand, asking her neighbors, “What would you do with that lot if you could?” Mrs. Henderson, an 82-year-old resident living alone, teared up as she said, “I used to have a garden, but I can’t bend down anymore. I’d love to smell fresh flowers again.” Mr. Torres, the owner of the local grocery store, offered to donate tools and soil. Even the teenagers were interested, suggesting a place to play basketball. Lila realized the project was bigger than just cleaning up rubbish. She named it the “Maple Community Garden” and launched a crowdfunding campaign. With the raised money, she hired a local construction company to level the ground. The first Saturday was backbreaking. Lila and twenty volunteers filled 40 garbage bags with rubbish. As the weeks passed, the lot began to breathe again. Sunflowers towered over the fence, attracting bees and butterflies. Tomatoes ripened on the vine. More importantly, the people began to bloom. The teens who helped build the basketball court started assisting Mrs. Henderson to carry her groceries. Mr. Torres began hosting weekly barbecues using vegetables from the garden. Neighbors who had lived next to each other for decades but never spoken were now exchanging recipes and gardening tips. Lila said, “I thought I was just building a garden, but what I really built was a bridge. That empty lot used to divide us; now it connects us.” 1．Why did Lila view the lot as a “wound”? A．It ruined the street’s beauty. B．It took up much space. C．It caused conflicts in neighbors. D．It reminded her of an injury. 2．Which of the following best describes the residents’ response? A．Surprised. B．Supportive. C．Cautious. D．Emotional. 3．What did Lila do for the community project? A．She offered tools and soil. B．She raised money door to door. C．She secured support to transform the lot. D．She encouraged neighbors to grow vegetables. 4．What is the best title for the text? A．Ways to Build a Better Block B．The Garden that Heals a Neighborhood C．Cares for the Old in the Community D．A Teenager’s Dream of a Lovely Garden 【答案】1．A 2．B 3．C 4．B 【语篇解读】本文主要讲述了17岁的莱拉·马丁内斯发现社区角落的空地被当作垃圾场后，主动发起项目，将其改造成社区花园，不仅改善了环境，还拉近了邻里关系的故事。 【详解】1．细节理解题。根据第一段中的“The houses were well-kept, with flowers blooming in most yards, but at the corner of her block sat a 1,200-square-foot parking lot-a dumping ground for old tires, broken furniture, and overgrown weeds.(大多数院子里的房子都保养得很好，鲜花盛开，但在她街区的拐角处，有一个1200平方英尺的停车场——一个堆放旧轮胎、破旧家具和杂草丛生的垃圾场。)”可知，这个空地堆满垃圾，破坏了街道的美观，所以莱拉把它看作“伤口”。 2．推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Mrs. Henderson, an 82-year-old resident living alone, teared up as she said, “I used to have a garden, but I can’t bend down anymore. I’d love to smell fresh flowers again.” Mr. Torres, the owner of the local grocery store, offered to donate tools and soil. Even the teenagers were interested, suggesting a place to play basketball.(亨德森夫人是一位 82 岁的独居老人，她眼含泪水说道：“我以前有个小花园，可现在再也弯不了腰了。我好想再闻一闻鲜花的芬芳。”当地杂货店老板托雷斯先生主动提出捐赠园艺工具和泥土，就连附近的青少年也热心参与，还提议顺带规划出一块篮球场。)”可知，居民们纷纷表达意愿、提供帮助，对莱拉的项目持支持态度。 3．细节理解题。根据第二段中的“She began knocking on doors, a clipboard in hand, asking her neighbors, “What would you do with that lot if you could?”(她手里拿着写字板，开始挨家挨户敲门，向邻居们询问：“如果可以的话，你们想把那块空地用来做什么？”)”以及第四段中的“She named it the ‘Maple Community Garden’ and launched a crowdfunding campaign. With the raised money, she hired a local construction company to level the ground.(她将这里命名为“枫叶社区花园”，并发起了众筹活动。她用筹集到的资金聘请了当地一家建筑公司平整土地。)”以及后文邻居们的参与可知，莱拉通过敲门征求意见、众筹资金、雇佣施工公司，还获得了邻居们的各种支持，最终改造了这片空地。 4．主旨大意题。通读全文可知，莱拉将社区里的垃圾场改造成社区花园，不仅改善了环境，还让原本疏远的邻里变得亲密，治愈了整个社区的隔阂。结合最后一段莱拉所说的“I thought I was just building a garden, but what I really built was a bridge. That empty lot used to divide us; now it connects us.(我以为我只是在建一个花园，但我真正建造的是一座桥。那个空地曾经把我们分开，现在它把我们连接在一起。)”可知，“The Garden that Heals a Neighborhood(治愈社区的花园)”最能概括文章主旨。 Passage 3 （2026·河北衡水中学·二模） Maya Martinez, a high school senior living in a fog-covered coastal village in North California, noticed that the community garden was gradually drying up during the driest summer on record. While the villagers remained helpless, Maya chose to spend her afternoons carefully observing the thick mist that rolled in from the sea. Maya had already identified a critical fault in traditional fog-collecting mesh nets (网状网): they frequently became blocked by the very water drops they caught, which severely reduced their effectiveness. Digging deeper into solutions, Maya found a novel device designed by two scientists — the “Fog Harp (竖琴)”. Maya decided to use the handy materials to create her own “Fog Harp”. At first, neighbors watched the process with doubt as she strung hundreds of thin, upright wires across a solid wooden frame. To them, the setup looked no more than “a giant musical instrument” that only produced useless sounds in the cold coastal wind. Little did they know this simple-looking setup would soon prove surprisingly effective. The remarkable efficiency of Maya’s Fog Harp lies in its clever use of gravity. In a traditional mesh net, tiny water drops get easily trapped within the small square gaps, which stop further collection. This occurs because the surface tension — the invisible, stretchy “skin” of liquid water — is too strong for the small drops to overcome. In Maya’s Fog Harp, by contrast, water drops hit the wires and slowly combine into larger drops. Most importantly, with no cross wires to hold these larger drops in place, gravity easily overcomes surface tension, allowing the water to slide effortlessly down the wires and collect in a tank below. Of course, the project faced its share of setbacks. During one severe coastal storm, the extreme wind tore through the wooden frame. Yet, instead of giving in to despair, she immediately set out to fix the problem by reinforcing the entire structure with durable steel wires. By the time autumn arrived, Maya’s “Fog Harps” were reliably producing plenty of fresh water every day, partly meeting the daily water needs of the village. 1．Why did Maya observe the thick mist in her afternoons? A．To predict the weather conditions. B．To clarify the reasons for drought. C．To check the efficiency of the mesh nets. D．To work out a solution to water shortage. 2．What can we know about Maya’s “Fog Harp”? A．It was a musical instrument. B．It invited villagers’ acid words. C．It presented an inborn fault. D．It featured a solid metal frame. 3．What is the key for Maya’s Fog Harp to function well? A．Its use of cross wires. B．Its mesh-net structure. C．Its weak surface tension. D．Its unique design and use of gravity. 4．What can we learn from Maya’s story? A．Look before you leap. B．Better late than never. C．Think outside the box. D．Time waits for no man. 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．D 4．C 【语篇解读】文章主要讲述了高中生Maya Martinez在干旱期间，通过观察雾气并改进传统集雾网，发明了高效的“雾竖琴”来解决村庄缺水问题的故事。 【详解】1．细节理解题。根据第一段中“Maya Martinez, a high school senior living in a fog-covered coastal village in North California, noticed that the community garden was gradually drying up during the driest summer on record. While the villagers remained helpless, Maya chose to spend her afternoons carefully observing the thick mist that rolled in from the sea. (Maya Martinez是北加州一个雾霭笼罩的沿海村庄的高中毕业班学生。她注意到，在有记录以来最干旱的夏天，社区花园正在逐渐干涸。当村民们束手无策时，玛雅选择在午后仔细观察从海上滚滚而来的浓雾)”可知，Maya观察浓雾是为了找出解决缺水问题的方法。 2．细节理解题。根据第三段中“At first, neighbors watched the process with doubt as she strung hundreds of thin, upright wires across a solid wooden frame. To them, the setup looked no more than “a giant musical instrument” that only produced useless sounds in the cold coastal wind.(起初，当她将数百根细直的金属丝绷在一个坚固的木制框架上时，邻居们都怀疑地看着这个过程。在他们看来，这个装置看起来充其量不过是一个“巨大的乐器”，只在寒冷的海风中发出无用的声音)”可知，Maya的“雾竖琴”被说成是无用的乐器，招来了村民们尖刻的评论。 3．推理判断题。根据第四段中“The remarkable efficiency of Maya’s Fog Harp lies in its clever use of gravity. (Maya的雾竖琴之所以效率显著，在于其巧妙地利用了重力)”和“In Maya’s Fog Harp, by contrast, water drops hit the wires and slowly combine into larger drops. Most importantly, with no cross wires to hold these larger drops in place, gravity easily overcomes surface tension, allowing the water to slide effortlessly down the wires and collect in a tank below.(相比之下，在玛雅的“雾竖琴”中，水滴撞击金属丝后，会缓慢地融合成更大的水滴。最重要的是，由于没有交叉的金属丝固定这些较大的水滴，重力很容易克服表面张力，使水沿着金属丝轻松滑下，收集到下方的水箱中)”可知，雾竖琴高效工作的关键在于其独特的设计和对重力的运用。 4．推理判断题。通读全文，结合第一段中“Maya Martinez, a high school senior living in a fog-covered coastal village in North California, noticed that the community garden was gradually drying up during the driest summer on record. While the villagers remained helpless, Maya chose to spend her afternoons carefully observing the thick mist that rolled in from the sea.

Digging deeper into solutions, Maya found a novel device designed by two scientists — the “Fog Harp (竖琴)”. (Maya已经发现了传统集雾网状网的一个关键缺陷……为了深入寻找解决方案，Maya发现了两位科学家设计的一种新颖装置——“雾竖琴”)”可知，Maya没有像村民那样束手无策，而是通过观察和思考，改进了传统集雾装置，发明了更高效的“雾竖琴”来解决缺水问题。这体现了她跳出传统思维定式、创新解决问题的精神。 Passage 4 (2026届安徽省省十教育高三最后一卷英语试题) Near Vihaan and Nav Agarwal’s home, a big garbage dump (垃圾场) caved in, releasing poisonous chemicals into the surrounding streets, which caused a fire to erupt. Following this event, Vihaan and Nav decided to take action to improve their city’s waste collection to ultimately improve their own health and that of their neighbors. Vihaan struggled with a persistent cough and shortness of breath. He knew his symptoms would not likely improve until his local community improved its waste management solutions. In 2018, at ages 14 and 11, respectively, the brothers created a home recycling program called One Step Greener that managed recycling for 15 households within their community. Their goal: prevent toxic chemical waste from seeping (渗透) into the environment and creating dangerous health conditions for residents. At first, the boys felt empowered by taking the action of separating waste into distinct categories. When local officials then informed them that the local garbage collection crew would not pick up their separated bags, they felt momentarily defeated, but persisted in their efforts. The boys then created a neighborhood coalition to create a unified recycling program, which 15 households took part in. Local authorities adjusted their stance, and the recycling program spread throughout the community with a growing number of households starting to participate. “The main issue in waste management is that everybody thinks it’s not their job, or if the waste is out of their house, it’s out of their mind,” Vihaan said. Vihaan and Nav’s program grew from managing 15 households to 3,000 throughout 14 Indian cities. The program offers families involved free door-to-door dry waste pickups. The separated waste is then delivered to warehouses where it is further divided to ensure proper recycling. Newspapers are separated from A4 printing paper, PET plastic from polypropylene, and computer screens from keyboards. One Step Greener’s goal reads, “One Step Greener’s mission is to transform environmental action into everyday practice by mobilizing youth, building green communities, and designing scalable solutions in waste management, afforestation, and education — starting at the grassroots, and growing toward systems change.” “It’s an old saying, but collective effort does actually make a difference,” said Vihaan. 1．What inspired Vihaan and Nav to start One Step Greener? A．The locals’ waste collection failure. B．A project on waste management. C．A landfill collapse near their home. D．The city’s campaign for recycling. 2．What was local authorities’ attitude to the program after the neighborhood’s participation? A．Unclear. B．Doubtful. C．Dismissive. D．Approving. 3．What did One Step Greener do for the participating households? A．It picked up dry waste for free. B．It educated them online about recycling. C．It delivered newspapers to them. D．It paid them for their recyclable materials. 4．What does Vihaan and Nav’s program show? A．Better late than never. B．Teamwork makes the dream work. C．Knowledge is power. D．Actions speak louder than words. 【答案】1．C 2．D 3．A 4．B 【语篇解读】文章主要讲述了印度兄弟创立环保项目改善垃圾回收。 【详解】1．细节理解题。根据第一段中“Near Vihaan and Nav Agarwal’s home, a big garbage dump caved in, releasing poisonous chemicals into the surrounding streets, which caused a fire to erupt. (在维汉和纳夫·阿加瓦尔家附近，一个大垃圾场塌陷了，有毒化学物质泄漏到周围的街道上，引发了一场大火)”和第二段中“Following this event, Vihaan and Nav decided to take action to improve their city’s waste collection(在这一事件之后，维汉和纳夫决定采取行动改善他们城市的废物收集)”可知，激发他们创立项目的原因是家附近的垃圾填埋场坍塌事故。 2．推理判断题。根据第五段中“Local authorities adjusted their stance, and the recycling program spread throughout the community with a growing number of households starting to participate. (当地当局调整了立场，随着越来越多的家庭开始参与，这个回收项目在整个社区推广开来)”可知，在社区参与后，当局调整了立场并支持项目的推广，态度是赞成的。 3．细节理解题。根据第七段中“The program offers families involved free door-to-door dry waste pickups. (该项目为参与的家庭提供免费的干垃圾上门回收服务)”可知，项目为参与的家庭免费回收干垃圾。 4．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“One Step Greener’s goal reads, “One Step Greener’s mission is to transform environmental action into everyday practice by mobilizing youth, building green communities, and designing scalable solutions in waste management, afforestation, and education — starting at the grassroots, and growing toward systems change.”(“一步变绿”的目标宣言写道：“‘一步变绿’的使命是通过动员青年、建设绿色社区以及在废物管理、植树造林和教育领域设计可扩展的解决方案，将环保行动转化为日常实践——从基层做起，逐步推动系统变革。”)”以及最后一段““It’s an old saying, but collective effort does actually make a difference,” said Vihaan.(维汉表示：“这是一句老话，但集体的努力确实能带来改变。”)”可知，这个项目展示了团队协作的力量。 Passage 5 (2026届福建名校联盟高中毕业班考前适应性练习英语试题) Carrying his “sound hunter’s” backpack with a headset, a recorder, and fifteen specialized microphones, Charles Rose sets out to explore Lyon’s Tête d’Or Park. He places his microphone against a rock as if taking its pulse (脉搏). He is focused, listening to a language only he seems to understand. Charles Rose is an audio naturalist. In his ears, trees whisper with human-like voices, queen bees cry, and ant nests crackle (噼啪作响) like campfires. His journey began in 2019 during a trip to Norway. While searching for sounds to sample for his musical compositions, he found himself attracted by the natural soundscapes. That trip became the turning point: he started recording flowing rivers, wooden churches, and animal calls. These recordings soon became albums of their own. From them, he builds a “sound library” that reflects the richness of ecosystems worldwide. Months ago, he traveled to the Tuvalu islands in the South Pacific where 95% of the area could be submerged by the end of the century. He recorded everything: the wind, the waves, the birds, the trees, the silence between sounds. These sounds now live in a sound bank that will immortalize the island’s memory and keep it long after the land disappears. Today, over 40,000 species are threatened by climate change, according to the latest report by the International Union for Conservation of Nature. For Rose, recording nature is a form of conservation. “By capturing the sound of an insect moving under our feet,” he says, “I want to make the living being more alive in the eyes of humans. I believe the more we listen, the more we respect.” Night is about to fall on the park as the rain arrives. While Sunday walkers rush for cover, Charles Rose smiles and excitedly heads to the pond. He kneels at the water’s edge, lowers a microphone beneath the surface, puts on his headset, and closes his eyes. 1．Why did Charles Rose go to Norway? A．He planned to build a sound library. B．He wanted to study local ecosystems. C．He intended to look for musical inspiration. D．He hoped to photograph natural landscapes. 2．What does the underlined word “immortalize” in paragraph 4 mean? A．Recall. B．Replace. C．Update. D．Safeguard. 3．What is Charles Rose’s purpose in recording nature? A．To teach people listening skills. B．To do research on climate change. C．To raise environmental awareness. D．To learn animals’ special language. 4．Which words best describe Charles Rose? A．Devoted and far-sighted. B．Creative and carefree. C．Curious and cool-headed. D．Humorous and easygoing. 【答案】1．C 2．D 3．C 4．A 【语篇解读】主要讲述音频自然主义者查尔斯录制自然之声，用声音记录濒危之地，以此呼吁人们保护自然。 【详解】1．细节理解题。根据第三段中的“His journey began in 2019 during a trip to Norway. While searching for sounds to sample for his musical compositions, he found himself attracted by the natural soundscapes.(他的旅程始于2019年的挪威之行。当时他正在为自己的音乐作品寻找采样音效，却被自然音景深深吸引。)”可知，他前往挪威是为了寻找音乐创作的灵感与素材。 2．词句猜测题。根据第四段中的“Months ago, he traveled to the Tuvalu islands in the South Pacific where 95% of the area could be submerged by the end of the century. He recorded everything: the wind, the waves, the birds, the trees, the silence between sounds. These sounds now live in a sound bank that will immortalize the island’s memory and keep it long after the land disappears.( 数月前，他前往南太平洋的图瓦卢群岛，该地区百分之九十五的区域可能在本世纪末被海水淹没。他记录下当地的一切声响。这些声音存入音库，在岛屿消失后也能长久immortalize岛屿的印记。)”可知，岛屿面临被淹没的危机，录制声音是为了留存、守护岛屿的记忆，因此画线单词表示“守护、留存”，与safeguard意义相近。 3．细节理解题。根据第五段中的“For Rose, recording nature is a form of conservation. “By capturing the sound of an insect moving under our feet,” he says, “I want to make the living being more alive in the eyes of humans. I believe the more we listen, the more we respect.”(对罗斯而言，录制自然之声是一种保护方式。他表示，捕捉脚下小虫的声响，是为了让人们真切感受到生灵的存在，聆听越多，敬畏之心便越深。)”可知，他录制自然声音是为了提升人们的环保意识。 4．推理判断题。根据第三段中的“That trip became the turning point: he started recording flowing rivers, wooden churches, and animal calls. These recordings soon became albums of their own. From them, he builds a “sound library” that reflects the richness of ecosystems worldwide.(那次旅行成为了转折点：他开始录制流淌的河流、木质教堂以及动物的叫声。这些录音很快被制作成专辑，他还借此建立了一座声音库，展现全球生态系统的丰富样貌。)”以及第四段中的“Months ago, he traveled to the Tuvalu islands in the South Pacific where 95% of the area could be submerged by the end of the century. He recorded everything: the wind, the waves, the birds, the trees, the silence between sounds.(数月前，他前往南太平洋的图瓦卢群岛，该地区百分之九十五的区域可能在本世纪末被海水淹没。他记录下当地的一切声响。)”可知，他长期坚持录制自然声音，对待事业全心投入，还提前记录濒危岛屿的声音，具有长远眼光，因此他是专注投入且富有远见的人。 【人物传记类】 Passage 1 （2026·云南省·二模） For years, Shay Taylor-Allen walked the halls of Yale New Haven Hospital with a mop and cleaning cart, making sure patient rooms were spotless. Soon, she’ll be walking those same halls with a stethoscope (听诊器) — this time as a doctor. Her journey didn’t follow a traditional path. After graduating in the top 10 percent of her class at Wilbur Cross High School in Connecticut, Taylor had the potential to go far — but not the guidance. At just 18, needing to earn a living, she took a job as a janitor at Yale New Haven Hospital. What started as a practical decision turned into nearly a decade of hard, honest work, cleaning patient rooms and offices. Then life took a turn that would change everything. After a devastating house fire, Taylor’s mother suffered severe lung damage and began struggling to breathe. After seeking medical treatment from multiple doctors, her mother finally received a diagnosis: vocal cord dysfunction (功能紊乱), a rare condition that had been overlooked. That moment lit a spark. She wanted to become a doctor and advocate for patients who weren’t being heard. The road ahead wasn’t easy. With no clear roadmap, Taylor had to figure out each step on her own — often starting with a simple online search. She enrolled in classes at Southern Connecticut State University, later earning a master’s degree from Quinnipiac University to complete the science courses needed for medical school. And through it all, she kept working. By day, she studied. By night, she returned to the hospital, continuing her janitor job while saving money for application fees and the MCAT (Medical College Admissions Test). Her determination paid off. Taylor was accepted into Howard University College of Medicine — and recently, she received life-changing news. She was matched to a residency at Yale New Haven Hospital. The very same hospital where her journey began. 1．What can be known about Taylor’s performance at high school? A．Average. B．Popular. C．Friendly. D．Outstanding. 2．What does the underlined word “janitor” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A．Doctor. B．Nurse. C．Cleaner. D．Guide. 3．What inspired Taylor to pursue a career in medicine? A．Her mother’s suffering. B．Her family’s request. C．The need to support herself. D．The desire to earn more. 4．What does the author imply about Taylor’s way to become a doctor? A．It was planned well in advance. B．It was a self-effort journey. C．It was an inspiration for hospitals. D．She quit her job to focus on studies. 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．A 4．B 【语篇解读】这篇文章主要讲述了谢伊·泰勒的励志逆袭故事：她高中成绩优异却因缺乏升学指导成为耶鲁纽黑文医院的清洁工，母亲因罕见病被误诊的经历让她立志从医。她边做清洁工边自学，先后完成本科和硕士学业，最终考入霍华德大学医学院，并回到最初工作的医院担任住院医师。 【详解】13．细节理解题。根据第一段中“After graduating in the top 10 percent of her class at Wilbur Cross High School in Connecticut, Taylor had the potential to go far — but not the guidance.( 在康涅狄格州威尔伯·克罗斯高中以班级前 10%的成绩毕业之后，泰勒本有机会大展宏图——但缺少了指导。)”可知，关于泰勒在高中的表现，我们可以了解到她的高中表现非常优秀。 1．词句猜测题。根据第一段中“For years, Shay Taylor-Allen walked the halls of Yale New Haven Hospital with a mop and cleaning cart, making sure patient rooms were spotless.( 多年来，谢伊·泰勒-艾伦一直拿着拖把和清洁车，在耶鲁纽黑文医院的走廊里忙碌着，确保病房一尘不染。)”以及第二段中“What started as a practical decision turned into nearly a decade of hard, honest work, cleaning patient rooms and offices.( 起初，这只是一个实际的决定，但后来却变成了近十年的艰辛而诚实的工作，包括清洁病房和办公室。)”由此可知，划线单词janitor为“清洁工”的意思，和C选项Cleaner“清洁工”意思一致。 2．细节理解题。根据第三段“After a devastating house fire, Taylor’s mother suffered severe lung damage and began struggling to breathe. After seeking medical treatment from multiple doctors, her mother finally received a diagnosis: vocal cord dysfunction (功能紊乱), a rare condition that had been overlooked. That moment lit a spark.

She introduced the now popular household item, Tupperware, to the market. As a pioneering businesswoman when there were not many women in business, she serves as an inspiration for generations of women. She was born in Georgia in 1913 and dreamed of becoming a writer and illustrator. During the late 1930s and early 1940s, Wise contributed to the Detroit News Experience column. Beyond writing, she worked briefly in an ad agency and as a salesperson in a clothing store. Later, she and her mother began selling Stanley Home Products at home parties; one of her sales methods was a demonstration of how the products worked. Even though she became one of the top Stanley salespeople, Stanley’s founder told her that as a woman, she had no place in management. She refused to accept that and switched to selling a new product: Tupperware. While Tupperware is everywhere now, it was not selling well in the late 1940s and early 1950s. Most people were not used to having consumer products made of plastic at that time. Wise, who saw promise in the product, began selling it with her mother in the late 1940s. She adopted the home party technique, throwing parties and demonstrating Tupperware mainly to women. She recruited dealers and managers and was soon selling more Tupperware than any store. In 1951, Tupper, the founder of Tupperware, recruited Wise to develop the party plan model and made her Vice President of Marketing. This job title made Wise one of the few female executives at the time. After Wise took over marketing, millions of Tupperware products began flying off the shelves. Wise became the public face of the company, appearing in media and speaking at national conferences. She was the first woman to appear on the cover of BusinessWeek. Tupperware now includes Wise and her contributions in the company’s official history. The home party model she pioneered not only ensured the success of that company but also inspired hundreds of others. 1．What can we infer about Wise’s early career aspirations? A．She had a clear career goal in her early years. B．She planned to become a top salesperson. C．She intended to hold a management position. D．She aimed to work in the business world from the start. 2．The phrase “flying off the shelves” in the last paragraph most probably means ______. A．being displayed in stores B．being sold in large quantities C．being transported by air D．being removed from shelves 3．Which of the following words can best describe Brownie Wise? A．Creative and determined. B．Shy and cautious. C．Generous and quiet. D．Humorous and easygoing. 4．What does the passage suggest about Wise’s impact on business?

Operated by 29-year-old Cui Yameng, it embodies her mission to create a barrier-free environment for people with disabilities. Cui’s dedication began in high school through volunteer work, leading her to study special education. Her travels with physically-challenged friends during university revealed how everyday obstacles like small steps became significant barriers. This inspired her long-term goal of an accessible hotel. As a practical start, she transformed her apartment’s first floor into this inclusive guesthouse in 2023. Every detail is designed for accessibility: a low entrance ramp, lowered kitchen counters, an adjustable bathroom mirror, and customized bed heights. Cui offers free stays to guests with disabilities, requesting only a personal story in return. Her aim is to provide dignified and comfortable accommodation. Her first guest was a young woman who had lost both legs. Cui arranged a tandem (双人自行车) bicycle ride along the coast for her — a first-time experience the guest later shared online. The post inspired many followers, including one man who embarked on his first solo trip in twenty years. Cui points out that the core issue is not an absence of accessible facilities, but rather a lack of public awareness about disabilities. Besides the guesthouse, she works at a local welfare center, organizing activities where children wear blindfolds to experience daily life without sight to foster public understanding. Her initiative has created a ripple effect. After gaining online attention, she began receiving requests from local businesses for accessible design advice. Cui hopes her story empowers others to contribute according to their capacities. To date, her guesthouse has hosted 28 guests and received international bookings. Cui acknowledges China’s progress in accessibility, citing supportive laws and improved services. Yet, her ultimate wish is for a future where such specialized accommodations become unnecessary, as affordable, accessible options are available everywhere. She sincerely looks forward to that day. 1. What inspired Cui to design the guesthouse? A. Her work at a welfare center. B. Volunteer service in her youth. C. Her academic pursuit of special education. D. Her travel experiences with disabled friends. 2. What can be inferred about Cui’s influence? A. She has built business partnerships. B. She has motivated disabled travelers. C. She has absorbed government funding. D. She has transformed traditional hotels. 3. Which of the following best describes Cui? A. Traditional and cautious. B.

Modern navigation (导航) has its roots in the satellite science lab where West studied the Earth’s shape. As a determined Black woman, she earned full scholarships to complete her math degrees at Virginia State University. Electronics in guidance systems were in their early stage in 1955, when West began her career. She had grown up on the family farm, and though she was self-motivated to study, she was a rarity in mathematics, not only as a woman but as a Black mathematician. Not discouraged, she put her mind to solving problems. She began by analyzing the Earth orbits of satellites. It might seem simple to calculate the distance around a perfect ball, but the shape of the Earth is not perfect. It is egg-shaped and has geographical as well as gravitational variations due to the tidal (潮汐的) forces that affect the course of a satellite. West developed algorithms (算法) to account for the variations and, through the 1970s and 1980s, programmed an IBM computer to deliver ever-increasingly accurate calculations for the shape of the Earth. West seldom protested the unfairness around her, for she could not afford to lose her job. Instead, she kept working to improve travel navigation. Her life and work not only give us daily directions but also inspire young people to rise above difficult situations. “I’m a doer, a hands-on kind of person,” West once said. “If I can see the road and see where it turns and see where it goes, I am more sure.” For all of us, we are grateful to West for making that map a little easier to follow. The next time you arrive on time, having avoided construction and delays, and hear that friendly voice say, “You have arrived,” give a nod and respond, “Thank you, West. I have arrived at a better place because of you.” 1．What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us about Gladys West? A．She was courageous. B．She was born poor. C．She had many talents. D．She taught herself. 2．What belief did West hold? A．Practice makes perfect. B．Actions speak louder. C．Well begun is half done. D．Lost time is never found. 3．Which word can best describe West’s contribution in paragraph 6? A．Record-breaking. B．Time-consuming. C．Life-improving. D．Energy-wasting. 4．What is West’s main achievement? A．She explores the space stars. B．She helps us find our way. C．She fights for women’s rights.

Unable to play team sports, he turned to collecting butterflies, rocks and fossils, turning free time into exploration. His father died when Ebright was in third grade, after which his mother became his whole life and his greatest inspiration. Every evening, they sat together at the dining table; if he had nothing to do, his mother would arrange learning tasks for him. “He enjoyed it and was eager to learn,” she recalled. By fifth grade, Ebright had collected all 25 butterfly species native to his hometown. That might have been the end until his mother gave him The Travels of Monarch X. The book encouraged young readers to label migrating monarchs (a kind of butterfly) for scientific research, and Ebright took part in the project with great enthusiasm. For several years, he raised thousands of monarchs in his basement. A county fair loss taught him a crucial lesson: real science requires genuine experiments, not just neat displays. In high school, Ebright focused on twelve tiny gold spots on monarch pupae (蛹). Most people thought they were decorative, but he assumed they released a hormone (激素) essential for development. He wrote to Dr. Frederick A．Urquhart, built a device, and proved his theory, which helped him win first place and advance to the International Science and Engineering Fair. His pioneering work provided the first concrete evidence of gene switching in a multicellular organism, laying a cornerstone for modern genetics. At twenty-two, Ebright and his college roommate published a groundbreaking theory on how cells read DNA blueprints in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Today, as a Board of Governors Professor at Rutgers University, he leads research on bacterial transcription and develops new drugs against tuberculosis. Elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, he has received multiple awards. From a curious boy with a butterfly net to a world-renowned biochemist, Ebright proved that passion, persistence, and a supportive mother matter far more than talent. 1．Which words can best describe Ebright’s mother? A．Warm-hearted and humorous. B．Far-sighted and inspiring. C．Ambitious and hardworking. D．Outgoing and creative. 2．What led Ebright to start his scientific research? A．The failure at a county fair. B．A collection of local butterflies. C．A book given by his mother. D．The guidance from college professors. 3．What was the key to Ebright’s winning first place in a fair? A．Making neat and beautiful displays. B．Doing real and reliable experiments. C．Collecting more butterfly species. D．Getting constant support from his teacher. 4．Which of the following would be the best title for the text? A．The Power of a Mother’s Love B．A Great Discovery in Insect Research C．Richard Ebright: The Making of a Scientist D．Exploration: From Butterflies to Genetic Research 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．B 4．C 【语篇解读】本文主要讲的是Richard Ebright从一个普通小男孩成长为世界知名生物化学家的历程，以及母亲在其中的关键作用。 【详解】1．推理判断题。根据第一段“Every evening, they sat together at the dining table; if he had nothing to do, his mother would arrange learning tasks for him.(每天晚上，他们都会一起坐在餐桌旁；如果他没什么事情可做，母亲就会给他安排学习任务。)”和第二段“That might have been the end until his mother gave him The Travels of Monarch X.
