专题02阅读理解之记叙文&新闻报道 （考试时间：100分钟 试卷满分：100分）（每题2.5分，共100分） Passage 1 （2026·江苏扬州·模拟预测）How Reading Shaped a Film Director Paul Schrader, the renowned American film director, recently premiered his latest cinematic work. However, his path to artistic success was far from conventional. Born into a strict Calvinist family, Schrader was entirely shielded from modern entertainment until he was seventeen. “Movies were strictly forbidden by my church,” he recalls. “We didn’t go to theaters, and we were exceptionally late to television. Instead, we were immersed in reading.” This unexpected limitation, which might have frustrated others, gradually transformed into his greatest advantage. While his peers were consuming popular TV shows, young Schrader was digesting classic literature. His absolute favorite was The Pilgrim’s Progress, a profound narrative about a man undertaking a dangerous journey to achieve salvation. Rather than merely skimming the plot, Schrader visualized every scene. “That book really brought me in because of the vivid, beautiful pictures of being brave it painted in my mind,” he notes. The intricate descriptions of the protagonist’s emotional struggles substituted for the visual stimulation he lacked, secretly training his brain to think like a camera. The reading habit acquired in his lonely youth stayed with him long after he entered the film industry. Even today, Schrader deliberately alternates between serious literary masterpieces and popular fiction. He firmly believes that diving into classics by authors like Dostoevsky or Austen can reenergize a tired creator. “Every few years, you should put your toe back in the water,” he advises young filmmakers. For him, these timeless texts serve as a wellspring of inspiration, providing complex character studies that modern scripts often lack. Now, at seventy-eight, Schrader looks back on his restrictive upbringing with deep gratitude rather than bitterness. The books he devoured shaped not only his distinctive directorial style but also his resilient character. “Those authors that punch you early, punch you for a reason,” he concludes with a smile. “And they usually hang around to guide your lens.” 1．What characterized Schrader’s early family life? A．Strict religious rules prohibiting modern entertainment. B．A strong passion for pursuing a cinematic career. C．Poverty that prevented them from buying a television. D．Frequent family trips to local movie theaters. 2．What can be inferred about Schrader’s experience with The Pilgrim’s Progress? A．He read it primarily to fulfill his church’s requirements. B．He found its plot too complicated to understand at the time. C．It helped develop his ability to form visual images in his mind. D．It convinced him to give up religion for an artistic career. 3．What does the underlined word “reenergize” in paragraph 3 most probably mean? A．Force someone to work harder. B．Cause someone to reflect on the past. C．Make someone feel entirely exhausted. D．Give someone fresh vitality and inspiration. 4．What is the main message conveyed in the text? A．Literary classics are superior to modern popular movies. B．Early life limitations can unexpectedly foster later success. C．A strict upbringing is the guarantee of a filmmaker’s creativity. D．Reading fiction is the only path to mastering directing skills. 【答案】1．A 2．C 3．D 4．B 【导语】文章主要讲述了美国著名电影导演保罗·施拉德在严格的加尔文主义家庭中长大，早年被禁止接触现代娱乐，却通过大量阅读经典文学作品培养了视觉想象力，最终形成了独特的导演风格并取得艺术成功的经历。 【详解】1．细节理解题。根据第一段“Born into a strict Calvinist family, Schrader was entirely shielded from modern entertainment until he was seventeen. ‘Movies were strictly forbidden by my church,’ he recalls. ‘We didn’t go to theaters, and we were exceptionally late to television. Instead, we were immersed in reading.’ (施拉德出生于一个严格的加尔文主义家庭，直到十七岁才接触现代娱乐。‘电影被我的教会严格禁止，’他回忆道。‘我们不去电影院，我们接触电视也非常晚。相反，我们沉浸在阅读中。’)”可知，施拉德早年家庭生活的特点是严格的宗教规则禁止现代娱乐。 2．推理判断题。根据第二段“Rather than merely skimming the plot, Schrader visualized every scene. ‘That book really brought me in because of the vivid, beautiful pictures of being brave it painted in my mind,’ he notes. The intricate descriptions of the protagonist’s emotional struggles substituted for the visual stimulation he lacked, secretly training his brain to think like a camera. (施拉德不仅仅是浏览情节，而是将每一个场景视觉化。‘那本书真正吸引了我，因为它在我心中描绘了生动、美丽的勇敢画面，’他说。主人公情感挣扎的细腻描述替代了他所缺乏的视觉刺激，悄悄地训练他的大脑像摄像机一样思考。)”可知，《天路历程》帮助施拉德发展了在脑海中形成视觉图像的能力。 3．词句猜测题。根据第三段“He firmly believes that diving into classics by authors like Dostoevsky or Austen can reenergize a tired creator. ‘Every few years, you should put your toe back in the water,’ he advises young filmmakers. For him, these timeless texts serve as a wellspring of inspiration, providing complex character studies that modern scripts often lack. (他坚信，深入阅读陀思妥耶夫斯基或奥斯汀等作家的经典作品可以reenergize一位疲惫的创作者。‘每隔几年，你应该重新试水，’他建议年轻电影人。对他来说，这些永恒的经典是灵感的源泉，提供了现代剧本往往缺乏的复杂人物研究。)”可知，深入阅读经典作品可以给创作者带来灵感，由此可知，reenergize意为“给某人带来新的活力和灵感”。 4．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其第二段“This unexpected limitation, which might have frustrated others, gradually transformed into his greatest advantage. (这种可能让其他人感到沮丧的意外限制，逐渐转变为他最大的优势。)”以及最后一段“Now, at seventy-eight, Schrader looks back on his restrictive upbringing with deep gratitude rather than bitterness. The books he devoured shaped not only his distinctive directorial style but also his resilient character. (如今，七十八岁的施拉德回顾他受限制的成长经历，心怀深深的感激而非痛苦。他沉浸其中的书籍不仅塑造了他独特的导演风格，也塑造了他坚韧的性格。)”可知，本文传达的主要信息是早年生活的限制可能会意外地促成后来的成功。 Passage 2 （2026·浙江宁波·模拟预测）This weekend I had the pleasure of seeing the Latvian animated film Flow in the theater. I’d never heard of it, but all of the other options were sequels (续集) or Christmas movies. Flow had a great trailer (预告片), excellent reviews, and won many awards. I was told. It is about the adventures of a black cat, a yellow dog, and several other animals that band together to survive a catastrophic flood. There are no people in the film. In fact, there is no dialogue at all in the hour and a half. You would think that a movie without any human characters or dialogue would be boring. Well, Flow is anything BUT. On the contrary, I was often on the edge of my seat, terrified for the danger these little guys faced. They’re constantly escaping enemies and rising water. Eventually, our black cat finds himself in a new land. At the start of the movie he is alone, but by the end he is surrounded by new friends. What, if anything, does this movie “mean”? Clearly, one of the basic themes is unity — different species that initially don’t get along eventually learn to help each other survive. But I think the fact that humans are completely absent seems intentional. The animals pass through run-down, abandoned towns, implying that humanity may have been wiped out by a disaster. Combined with the flood, this suggests a metaphor about climate change and sea level rise. The movie’s metaphors are subtle: water is an ever-present symbol in the film, and it is constantly flowing forward, pushing the action and our characters. With the title literally named Flow, temporariness seems to be the main message: things constantly changing, the world moves on. We often can’t control storms of life. What we can control are our own actions. You can choose to fight the current or go with it and make the best of what you find down river. Or it could mean something else completely different to you! Like the best poems, this movie is open to multiple interpretations. 5．What initially motivated the author to watch the film Flow? A．Recommendations from strangers. B．Its positive reception and many awards. C．Curiosity about an unknown movie. D．Its unique theme concerning animals. 6．Which of the following is a distinctive feature of Flow? A．It involves more than human characters. B．It contains no spoken dialogue. C．It is a short animation within 90 minutes. D．It is primarily a Christmas-themed story. 7．In the author’s opinion, what does humans’ absence from the film imply? A．The loss of humanity. B．The difficulty of survival. C．The unpredictability of life. D．The unity of diverse species. 8．Where is the text probably from? A．A textbook on animation. B．An eco-tour journal. C．An editorial on global warming. D．An entertainment website. 【答案】5．B 6．B 7．A 8．D 【导语】文章主要讲述了作者观看拉脱维亚动画电影《Flow》的感受及对影片隐喻的解读。 【详解】5．细节理解题。根据第一段中“Flow had a great trailer, excellent reviews, and won many awards. I was told.(Flow有精彩的预告片、极佳的口碑，还斩获了许多奖项。我是听说的)”可知，作者最初是被这部电影的良好反响和众多奖项所吸引才去观看的。 6．细节理解题。根据第二段中“In fact, there is no dialogue at all in the hour and a half.(事实上，在这一个半小时里，电影完全没有对白)”可知，没有任何口头对话是该片最鲜明的特色。 7．推理判断题。根据第四段中“The animals pass through run-down, abandoned towns, implying that humanity may have been wiped out by a disaster.(动物们穿过了破败荒废的城镇，暗示人类可能已被一场灾难消灭)”可知，作者认为人类在影片中的缺席暗示了人类的覆灭。 8．推理判断题。根据全文内容，文章记录了作者周末观影的选择、亲身感受以及对电影寓意的个性化解读，语气亲切自然，属于典型的个人影评，最可能出自娱乐网站。 Passage 3 （2026·湖北十堰·三模）An old, wise man sensed that his journey on Earth was coming to an end. The boy was still young, yet to discover the fullness of his own potential. Driven by a father’s love, he was determined to teach one final, crucial lesson before departing. He handed his son a watch, a family treasure handed down for generations. “Ask the jeweler how much it’s worth. But don’t accept any offer. Just come back home with the watch.” Following his father’s instruction, the boy went straight to the jeweler, who set its value at a mere hundred dollars, adding that a buyer would be hard to find. The son returned and reported the low valuation. The father nodded slowly. “Well. Then take it to the pawnshop (当铺). See what they say.” Though he hesitated inwardly, he dared not argue with his aging father. He went to the pawnshop, even seeking out two friends working there, hoping for a better price. Instead, they pointed out hairline scratches on the frame — flaws he had failed to notice despite carrying it all day— and offered him just a little more than the jeweler. The father paused for a moment and said, “Try the museum this time. There’s a woman I know. I sense she will know better what this watch is really worth.” Having met his father’s acquaintance, he ran back home, out of breath. “You won’t believe it! We finally got an amazing offer. She said she never thought she’d see one in person. The museum would like to buy it for $35000! I haven’t realized I was holding something that valuable.” His dad said, “What matters to me is that you learned something about value and self-worth. You see — you just like that watch — possess value. Go to the wrong places and you’ ll never know just how much you are worth. Even your own friends can get it wrong. But there’s always a place you can go to where everyone will recognize your real value.” 9．Why did the boy’s friends say the watch was scratched? A．To offer a lower price. B．To inform him of its flaw. C．To prove their honesty. D．To discourage him from selling. 10．How did the boy feel after visiting the museum? A．Doubtful. B．Ashamed. C．Thrilled. D．Confused. 11．Which of the following best describes the old man? A．Caring but strict. B．Wise but proud. C．Humble but hesitant. D．Insightful and patient. 12．What lesson can be learned from the story? A．You can’t put a price on old things. B．Always shop around before you buy. C．Stand where your strengths are celebrated. D．Behind a great man there are always supporters. 【答案】9．A 10．C 11．D 12．C 【导语】文章主要讲述一位年迈睿智的父亲在离世前，让儿子先后去珠宝商、当铺、博物馆估价祖传手表，借同一块手表在不同地方得到悬殊报价这件事，教会儿子认清自我价值：找对能看见你价值的环境，才能明白自己真正的分量。 【详解】9．推理判断题。根据原文第四段“Instead, they pointed out hairline scratches on the frame— flaws he had failed to notice despite carrying it all day— and offered him just a little more than the jeweler.(相反，他们指出表框上细微的划痕 —— 他带了一整天都没发现的瑕疵，给出的价格只比珠宝商高一点点。)”可知，当铺的朋友刻意挑出手表瑕疵，目的是压低出价。 10．推理判断题。根据原文第六段“Having met his father’s acquaintance, he ran back home, out of breath. “You won’t believe it! We finally got an amazing offer. She said she never thought she’d see one in person. The museum would like to buy it for $35000! I haven’t realized I was holding something that valuable.”(见过父亲认识的那位熟人后，他气喘吁吁跑回家。“你肯定想不到！我们得到了一个惊人报价。她说从没想过能亲眼见到这款表，博物馆愿意出价35000美元买下它！我完全没意识到自己手里握着这么贵重的东西。”)”可知，男孩得知手表极高的价值后十分激动兴奋。 11．推理判断题。根据原文最后一段“His dad said, “What matters to me is that you learned something about value and self-worth. You see — you just like that watch — possess value. Go to the wrong places and you’ ll never know just how much you are worth. Even your own friends can get it wrong. But there’s always a place you can go to where everyone will recognize your real value.”(父亲说道：“对我而言最重要的是，你弄懂了价值与自我价值的道理。你要明白 —— 你就和这块手表一样，本身自有价值。倘若身处错的环境，你永远不会知晓自己真正的分量，就算是你的挚友也会看走眼。但总有一处归宿，在那里所有人都能看见你真实的价值。”)”以及老人循序渐进，先后引导男孩去珠宝店、当铺、博物馆，一步步借手表领悟道理的全程行为可知，老人富有洞察力且十分有耐心。 12．推理判断题。根据原文最后一段“His dad said, “What matters to me is that you learned something about value and self-worth. You see — you just like that watch — possess value. Go to the wrong places and you’ ll never know just how much you are worth. Even your own friends can get it wrong. But there’s always a place you can go to where everyone will recognize your real value.”(父亲说道：“对我而言最重要的是，你弄懂了价值与自我价值的道理。你要明白 —— 你就和这块手表一样，本身自有价值。倘若身处错的环境，你永远不会知晓自己真正的分量，就算是你的挚友也会看走眼。但总有一处归宿，在那里所有人都能看见你真实的价值。”)”可知，故事告诉我们要身处能看见、认可你闪光点的环境，对应“站在你的长处会被赏识的地方”。 Passage 4 （2026·湖南长沙·三模）Moving to a new city can be an anxious experience. It’s often difficult to develop a sense of connection when you’re unfamiliar with a place’s traditions and history. Now that I’m a new resident of Pittsburg, one way I’ve found to engage with my new environment is through the art murals (壁画) found around town. Whenever I take a walk around the Old Town area, I stop to admire the mural at Heritage Park Plaza (HPP). As a newcomer, I find myself identifying with one section of the mural in particular. It shows a newly arrived family with their belongings, transitioning (过渡) into a photograph of a wedding. To me, this symbolizes establishing general roots — something I hope to do here in Pittsburg as well. Another mural I enjoy is located on the side of the Ace Hardware building on Railroad Avenue. This colorful piece honors the indigenous heritage (土著遗产) of the Pittsburg area, specifically the Bay Miwok people who lived here long before European settlers arrived. The mural acknowledges the lives of these indigenous groups, whose cultures were reshaped by newcomers. Today, these cultures coexist, a reality the mural beautifully illustrates. Lastly, there’s an amazing mural on the history of the Latino identity, located on the back of the Cardenas Markets near the highway entrance. The mural records the pre-history, transformation, and ongoing cultural presence of the Latino community in Pittsburg. As someone who shares in that heritage, I find it deeply meaningful to see it proudly displayed as visitors enter the town. It’s a visual welcome that makes me feel connected to the city and its values. These murals have become my way of bonding with Pittsburg, offering me a sense of belonging and helping me appreciate the town’s rich history. They serve as both reminders of the past and invitations to become a part of the ongoing story of this community. I encourage everyone to walk through their city, or any new town, and explore public art to better understand the community’s identity. 13．What does the mural at HPP inspire the author to do? A．Learn about Pittsburg’s historical events. B．Take photographs of particular art murals. C．Build lasting family bonds in Pittsburg. D．Protect the traditions of older residents. 14．What does the Ace Hardware mural illustrate? A．The integration of different cultures. B．The cruelty of European settlement. C．The restoration of indigenous customs. D．The history of the Ace Hardware building. 15．What aspect of the author does paragraph 4 reveal? A．Her original Latino background. B．Her talent for appreciating murals. C．Her contribution to the local community. D．Her role as a tour guide for Latino visitors. 16．What is the best title for the text? A．A Travel Journal of Pittsburg’s Murals B．Pittsburg’s Traditions Preserved in Art C．Exploring the Artistic Side of Pittsburg D．Engaging with Pittsburg Through Public Art 【答案】13．C 14．A 15．A 16．D 【导语】本文讲述作者迁居匹兹堡后，通过欣赏城市各处的公共壁画了解当地多元文化、收获归属感，以此融入新城市，并呼吁人们通过探索公共艺术认识城市特色与文化底蕴。 【详解】13．细节理解题。根据第二段“It shows a newly arrived family with their belongings, transitioning (过渡) into a photograph of a wedding. To me, this symbolizes establishing general roots — something I hope to do here in Pittsburg as well.(它（这幅壁画）显示了一个新来的家庭带着他们的物品，过渡到一张婚礼照片。对我来说，这象征着建立普遍的根基——我希望在匹兹堡也能这样做。)”可知，这幅壁画激励作者在匹兹堡扎根生活、建立长久的家庭羁绊。 14．细节理解题。根据第三段“The mural acknowledges the lives of these indigenous groups, whose cultures were reshaped by newcomers. Today, these cultures coexist, a reality the mural beautifully illustrates.(这幅壁画承认了土著族群的生活，新来定居者重塑了其文化，如今各类文化在此共存，一个壁画完美描绘的现实。)”可知，这幅壁画展现了不同文化融合共存的景象。 15．推理判断题。根据第四段“Lastly, there’s an amazing mural on the history of the Latino identity...As someone who shares in that heritage, I find it deeply meaningful to see it proudly displayed as visitors enter the town.(最后，有一幅关于拉丁裔身份历史的惊人壁画……作为一个分享这一遗产的人，我发现当游客进入城镇时，看到它自豪地展示出来是非常有意义的。)”可知，第四段揭示了作者拥有拉丁裔的原生背景。 16．主旨大意题。全文围绕核心展开：作者以城市壁画这一公共艺术为纽带，了解匹兹堡文化、融入新城市、获得归属感，所有内容均围绕“借助公共艺术联结城市”展开。由此可知D项最贴合文章主旨，适合作为全文标题。 Passage 5 （2026·广东东莞·三模）My small backyard had been neglected for years with overgrown weeds and dry soil. Last summer, I determined to transform it: I bought seeds, soil, and basic tools, eager to start my gardening project. The first few weeks were disheartening. The seeds either failed to grow or were eaten by birds. I watered tirelessly every day, adjusted sunlight, and tended to them constantly, yet nothing grew. I was ready to quit, convinced I had no talent for gardening. One afternoon, my neighbor Mr. Henderson, who tended his roses daily, watched me and said gently: “You’re trying too hard. Plants need care, but also space to grow on their own.” His words made sense. I relaxed: watered less often, let rain do its part, and stopped overthinking. Soon, tiny green buds emerged. By August, my backyard bloomed with color and scent; I’d sit there evenings, tasting tea, amazed by their beauty. Then a storm hit — strong winds knocked over my sunflowers. Heartbroken, I planned to pull them up, but Mr. Henderson appeared again: “Don’t give up. The strongest plants survive storms — they’ll heal if you give them a chance.” Weeks later, those sunflowers stood taller and stronger, their golden heads turning to the sun. I realized gardening wasn’t just about growing plants. All things have their own rhythm of recovery; what we struggle to control often fails, while what we gently trust finds its way back to light. The world does not always bend to our hurry, and neither do the things we care for. Some winds are meant to strengthen us, not break us. This summer, I’ll plant more seeds, both in the garden and in my heart. Growth takes time, and even life’s hardest moments are our greatest teachers. 17．Why does the author think she has no talent for gardening? A．She didn’t know how to use tools. B．She worked hard caring plants but in vain. C．She didn’t have a good taste for plants. D．She was slow in learning plant knowledge. 18．How did the author respond to Mr. Henderson’s advice? A．Let nature take its course. B．Stop watering the seeds. C．Ask him to look after her garden. D．Learn to enjoy the garden’s beauty. 19．Why are the sunflowers mentioned in the text? A．To present the risks of gardening. B．To highlight the delicacy of young plants. C．To illustrate the cruelty of natural disasters. D．To show the strength and energy of plants. 20．What can be inferred about the author? A．She never gives up when things get difficult. B．She believes success comes from effort and luck. C．She considers gardening the top priority in her life. D．She reshapes her gardening mindset in light of experiences. 【答案】17．B 18．A 19．D 20．D 【导语】本文讲述作者打理荒废后院花园的亲身经历。作者起初急于求成、过度养护却毫无收获，在邻居的点拨下顺其自然、适度放手，又在向日葵历经风雨愈发茁壮的经历中感悟：万物生长自有节奏，成长需要时间，困境磨难会磨练人与事物的意志。 【详解】17．细节理解题。根据第二段“I watered tirelessly every day, adjusted sunlight, and tended to them constantly, yet nothing grew. I was ready to quit, convinced I had no talent for gardening(我日复一日不辞辛劳地浇水、调整光照、悉心照料，可植株始终不见生长。我打算就此放弃，认定自己完全没有园艺天赋)”可知，作者努力照料植物却徒劳无功，因此认为自己没有园艺天赋。 18．细节理解题。根据第二段结尾和第三开头““You’re trying too hard. Plants need care, but also space to grow on their own.” His words made sense. I relaxed: watered less often, let rain do its part, and stopped overthinking.(“你太过操心了。植物需要照料，但它们也需要有自己生长的空间。”他的这番话很有道理。我放松了下来：减少浇水的频率，让雨水发挥作用，不再过度纠结)”可知，作者听从建议后减少了人为干预，让自然发挥它的作用。 19．推理判断题。根据第四段“The strongest plants survive storms — they’ll heal if you give them a chance.(最强的植物能在暴风雨中存活——如果你给它们机会，它们会自愈)”以及第五段“Weeks later, those sunflowers stood taller and stronger, their golden heads turning to the sun.(几周后，那些向日葵站得更高、更壮，金色的花盘转向太阳)”可推知，提及向日葵是为了展现植物经历打击后展现出的顽强生命力与自我修复能力。 20．推理判断题。通读全文可知，作者最初做事急于求成、过度掌控，接连受挫后听从建议改变养护方式，又从向日葵风雨重生的经历中领悟成长真谛，彻底改变了自己的园艺观念与处事心态。由此可知，作者在经历中重塑了自己的心态。 Passage 6 （2026·福建三明·模拟预测）A few orange flags mark Kwesi Joseph’s plants in a Brooklyn community garden. Joseph, an urban garden specialist, is conducting a low-tech experiment.“I feel like a kid having fun with scientific discovery,” Joseph said. As a boy, Joseph was naturally drawn to the physical world beneath his feet. The feel of dirt and clay stayed with him over the years, and he later earned a bachelor’s degree in geology (地质学). In 2011, during a stressful time in his life, he revisited that early connection with encouragement from his wife. Joseph transformed an underused backyard into a garden, a decision that would lay the groundwork for his future career. Gardening inspired Joseph to experiment further. With his background in geology, he wondered if crushed rocks could provide plants with essential nutrients. Joseph started conducting trials with the“rock dust” of basalt, a type of rock that contains micronutrients. In the process, he discovered something unexpected: basalt can react with CO₂ in the air and turn it into a solid that gets stuck in the ground. Studies show that this process, known as enhanced rock weathering, can also reduce soil acidity and absorb nitrogen (氮) pollution caused by fertilizers(肥料). However, Joseph began to see that creating long-term, sustainable change in urban agriculture required more than hands-on knowledge — it demanded strategic thinking, system-level insight and the ability to connect grassroots efforts with broader policy systems. That realization led him to pursue a business degree at Cornell. Since completing his degree in 2025, Joseph has felt more equipped to build not just gardens, but also the support systems and partnerships needed to sustain them. By working with the community and sharing his love for gardening, he has helped people become stronger and more independent through community gardens. “It’s all about taking care of our soil and our plants,”Joseph said,“because, in return, they will take care of us.” 21．What motivated Joseph to study geology? A．His early interest in earth. B．The stress of daily life. C．His experience in gardening. D．The advice from his wife. 22．What did Joseph find about basalt in his experiment? A．It contains micronutrients. B．It arrests and stores CO₂. C．It enhances rock weathering. D．It consumes and removes soil minerals. 23．What do we know about Joseph from paragraph 4? A．He followed local policies. B．He changed his career path. C．He preferred hands-on learning. D．He took a broader viewpoint. 24．What is the best title for the text? A．Testing Basalt in Gardens B．Storing Carbon in Rocks C．Bridging Soil and Society D．Connecting Community and Policy 【答案】21．A 22．B 23．D 24．C 【导语】文章主要说明了城市园艺专家Joseph因自幼热爱大地研习地质，实验发现玄武岩可固碳、改良土壤。他进修商科，依托园艺联结土壤、社区与体系，实现良性发展。 【详解】21．细节理解题。根据第二段“As a boy, Joseph was naturally drawn to the physical world beneath his feet. The feel of dirt and clay stayed with him over the years, and he later earned a bachelor’s degree in geology (地质学).(在年少时，约瑟夫就自然而然地被脚下的物质世界所吸引。多年来，泥土和黏土的触感一直萦绕在他心头，后来他获得了地质学学士学位)”可知，促使约瑟夫学习地质学的原因是早年对土地的兴趣。 22．细节理解题。根据第三段“In the process, he discovered something unexpected: basalt can react with CO₂ in the air and turn it into a solid that gets stuck in the ground.(在此过程中，他意外地发现了一个现象：玄武岩能够与空气中的二氧化碳发生反应，并将其转化为一种会沉入地下的固体物质)”可知，约瑟夫在他的实验中发现了玄武岩能够捕获并储存二氧化碳。 23．细节理解题。根据第四段“However, Joseph began to see that creating long-term, sustainable change in urban agriculture required more than hands-on knowledge — it demanded strategic thinking, system-level insight and the ability to connect grassroots efforts with broader policy systems.(然而，约瑟夫开始意识到，要在城市农业领域实现长期且可持续的变革，仅仅掌握实践经验是不够的——还需要具备战略思维、系统层面的洞察力以及将基层努力与更广泛的政策体系相连接的能力)”可知，约瑟夫具有更广阔的视野。 24．主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Since completing his degree in 2025, Joseph has felt more equipped to build not just gardens, but also the support systems and partnerships needed to sustain them. By working with the community and sharing his love for gardening, he has helped people become stronger and more independent through community gardens. “It’s all about taking care of our soil and our plants,” Joseph said, “because, in return, they will take care of us.”(自2025年完成学业以来，约瑟夫觉得自己不仅具备了建造花园的能力，还具备了建立维持花园所需的支撑系统和合作关系的能力。通过与社区合作并分享他对园艺的热爱，他帮助人们通过社区花园变得更强大、更独立。“关键在于照顾好我们的土壤和植物，”约瑟夫说，“因为反过来，它们也会照顾我们。”)”。可知，文章主要说明了城市园艺专家Joseph因自幼热爱大地研习地质，实验发现玄武岩可固碳、改良土壤。他进修商科，依托园艺联结土壤、社区与体系，实现良性发展。C选项“促进土壤与社会的融合”最符合文章标题。 Passage 7 （2026·福建三明·二模）Jacob Nelson stands inside his modest store in Preston, England. Outside, a line of 150 people stretches down the street. Some wait for over six hours, smartphones in hand, expectant and smiling. Surprisingly, they aren’t there for trendy hamburgers, but for an old-fashioned dish his family has sold for years: the baked potato, known locally as jacket spuds. Not long ago, the scene was different. Jacob often stood in his quiet store, watching people pass him by for fast-food chains. To many, his potatoes were the plain and boring food of school cafeterias. Jacob realized his product “wasn’t sexy” —— it lacked the modern appeal younger customers wanted. He feared his family’ s business heritage would simply be forgotten by the modern world. To save the business, Jacob and his brother turned to social media. They filmed their daily work, capturing the satisfying sound of crispy skin cracking and golden butter melting. These clever videos, seasoned with local humor, soon went viral online. Jacob was shocked to see teenagers from distant cities waiting at his window, eager to record their own videos of his ordinary potatoes. His success grew into stardom—— the fame and popularity he never imagined. For Jacob, however, the real reward is the interaction with those around him. He treats regulars like old friends, sharing jokes and life stories across the counter. He even sponsors a neighborhood soccer team to give back. In a time of rising costs, his affordable meals provide a sense of regional pride, warmth and belonging. Whether the potato boom is just a passing trend remains to be seen. But for now, the store remains a symbol of possibility.

He feared his family’ s business heritage would simply be forgotten by the modern world.(雅各布意识到自己的产品“不够吸引人”——它缺乏年轻消费者所追求的现代魅力。他担心家族的商业传统会被现代世界所遗忘。)”和第三段“To save the business, Jacob and his brother turned to social media. They filmed their daily work, capturing the satisfying sound of crispy skin cracking and golden butter melting.(为了挽救生意，雅各布和他的兄弟开始利用社交媒体。他们拍摄了日常工作场景，记录下了薯片外皮酥脆裂开时发出的悦耳声响以及融化的金黄色黄油的美妙声音。)”可知，雅各布通过这些视频意在使品牌形象现代化。 27．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“For Jacob, however, the real reward is the interaction with those around him. He treats regulars like old friends, sharing jokes and life stories across the counter.(然而对雅各布来说，真正的回报在于与周围人的互动。他把常客当作老朋友一样对待，在柜台前分享笑话和生活故事。)”可知，关于他的成功，他最看重的是社区纽带。 28．推理判断题。根据第三段“They filmed their daily work, capturing the satisfying sound of crispy skin cracking and golden butter melting. These clever videos, seasoned with local humor, soon went viral online.(他们拍摄了日常工作场景，记录下了薯片外皮酥脆裂开时发出的悦耳声响以及融化的金黄色黄油的美妙画面。这些充满创意且带有当地幽默元素的视频很快就在网上走红。)”可知，他想出用社交媒体拍短视频的方式来挽救生意，说明他有创意；根据倒数第二段“He even sponsors a neighborhood soccer team to give back.(他还赞助了一个社区足球队以回馈社会。)”可知，他是慷慨的。 Passage 8 （2026·浙江宁波·模拟预测）In India, when an elephant tramples crops or a leopard attacks livestock, or worse, a person, the fallout can be disastrous for families. It can also create the human-nature tension and ruin the harmony with each other that is crucial for protecting wildlife. This is why conservation biologist Krithi Karanth has spent years developing novel strategies to help people live alongside some of the world’s most dangerous animals. For that, she’s been named the 2026 Rolex National Geographic Explorer of the Year, an award for contributions to research and conservation among National Geographic Explorers. As CEO of the Bengaluru-based Centre for Wildlife Studies, Karanth faces a paradox (矛盾) that India, with 1.4 billion people, is also a stronghold for wildlife, home to approximately half of Asia’s elephants and roughly three-quarters of the planet’s wild tigers. Conserving those and other species, she says, requires not just saving habitat but also winning hearts and minds. Karanth has launched Wild Seve, a platform for users to request government compensation (补偿金) when wildlife damages crops, livestock, or property. With a simple toll-free call, victims ask the program’s trained field staff to document losses, then file claims and track cases as they’re processed by government officials. Wild Seve has helped some 17,000 families make up for economic losses, and reduced the likelihood of hunting as punishment. Reducing the bad outcomes is far from enough. She has also created a curriculum for schoolkids living near wildlife reserves, called Wild Shaale, designed to inspire curiosity about and respect for animals. Through games, storytelling, and art, the program explores why conflicts occur and how to respond safely. Wild Shaale is now taught in some 1,600 schools across India. “Krithi has sparked a movement of hope across India,” says National Geographic Society CEO Jill Tiefenthaler. “By combining science, education, and community partnership, she is redefining how people live in harmony with nature, and what conservation can achieve for communities and young people.” Next, Karanth wants to apply her ideas outside India, cultivating an international crop of environmental stewards — or even just empathetic neighbors. “Having a set of people who at least tolerate the presence of a large animal,” she says, “is a massive victory.” 29．What made Karanth the 2026 Rolex National Geographic Explorer of the Year? A．Stopping elephants destroying crops. B．Protecting people from dangerous animals. C．Participating in saving wildlife personally. D．Improving the bond between man and wildlife. 30．What paradox is Karanth faced with? A．Indians dislike living alongside wild animals. B．India is crowded with too many wild species. C．India lacks sufficient resources for its people. D．Indians and animals compete for living space. 31．Why did Karanth launch these conservation programs across India? A．To help people co-exist with wild animals. B．To free kids from the threat from animals. C．To inform farmers of the loss-claiming process. D．To convince people to establish wildlife reserves. 32．What is the key to success in Karanth’s conservation work? A．Having a global vision. B．Reforming education policies. C．Earning people’s support. D．Prioritizing human interests. 【答案】29．D 30．D 31．A 32．C 【导语】主要介绍环保学者克里西·卡朗特推出多项举措缓解人兽冲突，促进人与野生动物和谐共处，并斩获年度探险家奖项。 【详解】29．细节理解题。根据第一段中的“This is why conservation biologist Krithi Karanth has spent years developing novel strategies to help people live alongside some of the world’s most dangerous animals.

Such events happen more often as climate change destabilizes ice. On August 5, 2025, residents of Juneau, Alaska, were awakened by emergency alerts. A glacial lake north of the city had burst its icy banks, sending a wave of meltwater rushing down the Mendenhall River. It covered roads, damaged homes, and forced the evacuation (疏散) of more than 300 people. For scientists who study cryospheric (冰冻圈的) changes, the disaster came as a confirmation of a troubling trend. “Glacial lake outburst floods, or GLOFs, have always been a risk in icy regions, but climate change is supercharging that risk,” says Maya Wilson, a glaciologist at the University of Alaska Southeast. As global temperatures rise, glaciers are melting faster. This meltwater pools behind moraines (冰碛) to form glacial lakes. Warmer temperatures also weaken the moraines themselves, many of which are held together in part by ice that is now melting away. The Juneau event is by no means unique. In 2022, a GLOF in Pakistan destroyed bridges and irrigation systems, cutting off food and medical supplies. In 2023, a similar flood in Peru swept away a hydroelectric plant, leaving nearby towns without power for weeks. What makes these events particularly dangerous is their unpredictability. Unlike rainfall floods, GLOFs can occur with little warning. The moraine dams (堤坝) can collapse suddenly after years of wear and tear. “We can monitor the size of glacial lakes with satellites, but predicting exactly when a dam will fail is extremely difficult,” Wilson explains. “Small changes, like a sudden heatwave or a minor earthquake, can bring about a disastrous outburst.” Communities in high-risk areas are struggling to adapt. In Juneau, local officials are setting up sensors to track water levels and the stability of nearby moraines. The government has also assigned $2 million for flood protection projects. Yet adaptation efforts face significant obstacles. Many glacial lake regions are too remote to place equipment. Funding is insufficient, especially for developing nations. “We can’t just react after they happen,” Wilson argues. “We need long-term investments in monitoring and early warning systems. Otherwise GLOFs would only become more frequent and destructive.” 33．Why is the Juneau event mentioned in paragraph 1? A．To show severe damage caused by GLOFs. B．To call for long-term global financial support. C．To explain the necessity of disaster prevention. D．To introduce the forming mechanism of GLOFs. 34．What might be the main cause of frequent GLOFs? A．Lake expansion. B．Surrounding glaciers. C．Climate change. D．Geographical features. 35．What can we learn from paragraph 3? A．GLOFs may strike without advance warning. B．Local facilities are well-built to monitor GLOFs. C．Satellites can forecast dam collapse with accuracy. D．GLOFs happen more often in developing countries. 36．What does Maya Wilson stress in her remarks? A．Sufficient funds for post-disaster relief. B．Priority for emergency response. C．Flood protection projects in remote areas. D．Sustained support for risk prevention. 【答案】33．A 34．C 35．A 36．D 【导语】文章主要说明了气候变暖致冰川消融、冰碛坝松动，冰川湖溃决洪水频发且难预判。多国已受灾，高危地区防灾受限，专家呼吁长期投入监测预警建设。 【详解】33．推理判断题。根据第一段“It covered roads, damaged homes, and forced the evacuation (疏散) of more than 300 people. (它造成了道路损毁、房屋受损，并迫使超过300人进行疏散。)”可知，在第一段中提到了朱诺事件是为了展示冰川湖溃决洪水所造成的严重破坏。 34．细节理解题。根据第一段“Such events happen more often as climate change destabilizes ice. (随着气候变化导致冰层变得不稳定，此类事件发生的频率也相应增加。)”以及第二段“Glacial lake outburst floods, or GLOFs, have always been a risk in icy regions, but climate change is supercharging that risk (冰川湖溃决洪水（简称 GLOF）在寒冷地区一直是一种潜在的危险，但气候变化正在极大地加剧这一风险)”可知，造成频繁发生冰川湖溃决洪水的主要原因可能是气候变化。 35．细节理解题。根据第三段“Unlike rainfall floods, GLOFs can occur with little warning. (与降雨引发的洪水不同，冰川湖溃决洪水往往来得毫无征兆。)”可知，冰川湖溃决洪水可能会毫无预警地发生。 36．细节理解题。根据最后一段“We need long-term investments in monitoring and early warning systems. (我们需要对监测和预警系统进行长期投资。)”可知，玛雅·威尔逊在她的讲话中强调持续支持风险防范工作。 Passage 10 （2026·湖北武汉·三模）Twelve-year-old Sandi Chandee wants to be a doctor when she grows up. But that’s not why she memorized one of the longest medical terms in English: Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis. In an after-school classroom, she takes out a piece of paper and fills up a whole line to spell the word that describes a type of lung disease. The word allows her to practice cursive — her new favorite method of writing. She is now a proud member of the Holmes Middle School cursive club. Kenerson, a multilingual teacher at Holmes, started the club when students couldn’t read her writing on the board. They just stared at her blankly, she said. For an educator who firmly believes that quotes deserve to be written in cursive, Kenerson wanted to give students a chance to understand the magic of the loopy writing. The club exploded in popularity this past winter, but Kenerson has been racking her brain trying to figure out why it has drawn so much attention. “I’m stunned,” She said. “I’m just going along with the ride.” The club is a local example of a nationwide trend — cursive handwriting is back in many classrooms across the country. Teachers and educators credit the resurgence to some evidence of educational benefits. Shawn Datchuk, a professor at the University of Iowa, and a team of researchers compiled studies on it. Preliminary evidence shows cursive writing could improve spelling. Datchuk said the “special sauce” is that students have to pay closer attention to how letters connect when they write. In his college classroom, he sees students increasingly use tablets to take notes. But technology is not a fix-all for students, he said, “We likely need to help our students become multi-modal. One of the dirty secrets behind computer spell checker and artificial intelligence is that you still need to be able to spell in order to use those well.” Back in Kenerson’s cursive club, all the students feel proud of their cursive skills, as it lets them read what others can’t — and they have no doubts about its value. 37．Why is Sandi mentioned in the first paragraph? A．To show her dream. B．To introduce cursive. C．To praise her memory. D．To describe a lung disease. 38．What inspired Kenerson to set up the cursive club? A．Students’ poor eyesight. B．Students’ blank stares. C．Her love for written quotes. D．Her love for the loopy writing. 39．What does the underlined word “resurgence” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A．Revival. B．Review. C．Repeat. D．Recreation. 40．How are cursive and technology related according to Datchuk? A．Technology may replace cursive. B．Spell check needs cursive reading. C．Tablets reduce cursive practice. D．Cursive boosts skills AI needs. 【答案】37．B 38．B 39．A 40．D 【导语】讲述草书再度流行，介绍社团创办缘由及其具备的学习价值。 【详解】37．推理判断题。根据第一段“Twelve-year-old Sandi Chandee wants to be a doctor when she grows up.

However, his path to artistic success was far from conventional. Born into a strict Calvinist family, Schrader was entirely shielded from modern entertainment until he was seventeen. “Movies were strictly forbidden by my church,” he recalls. “We didn’t go to theaters, and we were exceptionally late to television. Instead, we were immersed in reading.” This unexpected limitation, which might have frustrated others, gradually transformed into his greatest advantage. While his peers were consuming popular TV shows, young Schrader was digesting classic literature. His absolute favorite was The Pilgrim’s Progress, a profound narrative about a man undertaking a dangerous journey to achieve salvation. Rather than merely skimming the plot, Schrader visualized every scene. “That book really brought me in because of the vivid, beautiful pictures of being brave it painted in my mind,” he notes. The intricate descriptions of the protagonist’s emotional struggles substituted for the visual stimulation he lacked, secretly training his brain to think like a camera. The reading habit acquired in his lonely youth stayed with him long after he entered the film industry. Even today, Schrader deliberately alternates between serious literary masterpieces and popular fiction. He firmly believes that diving into classics by authors like Dostoevsky or Austen can reenergize a tired creator. “Every few years, you should put your toe back in the water,” he advises young filmmakers. For him, these timeless texts serve as a wellspring of inspiration, providing complex character studies that modern scripts often lack. Now, at seventy-eight, Schrader looks back on his restrictive upbringing with deep gratitude rather than bitterness. The books he devoured shaped not only his distinctive directorial style but also his resilient character. “Those authors that punch you early, punch you for a reason,” he concludes with a smile. “And they usually hang around to guide your lens.” 1．What characterized Schrader’s early family life? A．Strict religious rules prohibiting modern entertainment. B．A strong passion for pursuing a cinematic career. C．Poverty that prevented them from buying a television. D．Frequent family trips to local movie theaters. 2．What can be inferred about Schrader’s experience with The Pilgrim’s Progress? A．He read it primarily to fulfill his church’s requirements. B．He found its plot too complicated to understand at the time. C．It helped develop his ability to form visual images in his mind. D．It convinced him to give up religion for an artistic career. 3．What does the underlined word “reenergize” in paragraph 3 most probably mean? A．Force someone to work harder. B．Cause someone to reflect on the past. C．Make someone feel entirely exhausted. D．Give someone fresh vitality and inspiration. 4．What is the main message conveyed in the text? A．Literary classics are superior to modern popular movies. B．Early life limitations can unexpectedly foster later success. C．A strict upbringing is the guarantee of a filmmaker’s creativity. D．Reading fiction is the only path to mastering directing skills. Passage 2 （2026·浙江宁波·模拟预测）This weekend I had the pleasure of seeing the Latvian animated film Flow in the theater. I’d never heard of it, but all of the other options were sequels (续集) or Christmas movies. Flow had a great trailer (预告片), excellent reviews, and won many awards. I was told. It is about the adventures of a black cat, a yellow dog, and several other animals that band together to survive a catastrophic flood. There are no people in the film. In fact, there is no dialogue at all in the hour and a half. You would think that a movie without any human characters or dialogue would be boring. Well, Flow is anything BUT. On the contrary, I was often on the edge of my seat, terrified for the danger these little guys faced. They’re constantly escaping enemies and rising water. Eventually, our black cat finds himself in a new land. At the start of the movie he is alone, but by the end he is surrounded by new friends. What, if anything, does this movie “mean”? Clearly, one of the basic themes is unity — different species that initially don’t get along eventually learn to help each other survive. But I think the fact that humans are completely absent seems intentional. The animals pass through run-down, abandoned towns, implying that humanity may have been wiped out by a disaster. Combined with the flood, this suggests a metaphor about climate change and sea level rise. The movie’s metaphors are subtle: water is an ever-present symbol in the film, and it is constantly flowing forward, pushing the action and our characters. With the title literally named Flow, temporariness seems to be the main message: things constantly changing, the world moves on. We often can’t control storms of life. What we can control are our own actions. You can choose to fight the current or go with it and make the best of what you find down river. Or it could mean something else completely different to you! Like the best poems, this movie is open to multiple interpretations. 5．What initially motivated the author to watch the film Flow? A．Recommendations from strangers. B．Its positive reception and many awards. C．Curiosity about an unknown movie. D．Its unique theme concerning animals. 6．Which of the following is a distinctive feature of Flow? A．It involves more than human characters. B．It contains no spoken dialogue. C．It is a short animation within 90 minutes. D．It is primarily a Christmas-themed story. 7．In the author’s opinion, what does humans’ absence from the film imply? A．The loss of humanity. B．The difficulty of survival. C．The unpredictability of life. D．The unity of diverse species. 8．Where is the text probably from? A．A textbook on animation. B．An eco-tour journal. C．An editorial on global warming. D．An entertainment website. Passage 3 （2026·湖北十堰·三模）An old, wise man sensed that his journey on Earth was coming to an end. The boy was still young, yet to discover the fullness of his own potential. Driven by a father’s love, he was determined to teach one final, crucial lesson before departing. He handed his son a watch, a family treasure handed down for generations. “Ask the jeweler how much it’s worth. But don’t accept any offer. Just come back home with the watch.” Following his father’s instruction, the boy went straight to the jeweler, who set its value at a mere hundred dollars, adding that a buyer would be hard to find. The son returned and reported the low valuation. The father nodded slowly. “Well. Then take it to the pawnshop (当铺). See what they say.” Though he hesitated inwardly, he dared not argue with his aging father. He went to the pawnshop, even seeking out two friends working there, hoping for a better price. Instead, they pointed out hairline scratches on the frame — flaws he had failed to notice despite carrying it all day— and offered him just a little more than the jeweler. The father paused for a moment and said, “Try the museum this time. There’s a woman I know. I sense she will know better what this watch is really worth.” Having met his father’s acquaintance, he ran back home, out of breath. “You won’t believe it! We finally got an amazing offer. She said she never thought she’d see one in person. The museum would like to buy it for $35000! I haven’t realized I was holding something that valuable.” His dad said, “What matters to me is that you learned something about value and self-worth. You see — you just like that watch — possess value. Go to the wrong places and you’ ll never know just how much you are worth. Even your own friends can get it wrong. But there’s always a place you can go to where everyone will recognize your real value.” 9．Why did the boy’s friends say the watch was scratched? A．To offer a lower price. B．To inform him of its flaw. C．To prove their honesty. D．To discourage him from selling. 10．How did the boy feel after visiting the museum? A．Doubtful. B．Ashamed. C．Thrilled. D．Confused. 11．Which of the following best describes the old man? A．Caring but strict. B．Wise but proud. C．Humble but hesitant. D．Insightful and patient. 12．What lesson can be learned from the story? A．You can’t put a price on old things. B．Always shop around before you buy. C．Stand where your strengths are celebrated. D．Behind a great man there are always supporters. Passage 4 （2026·湖南长沙·三模）Moving to a new city can be an anxious experience. It’s often difficult to develop a sense of connection when you’re unfamiliar with a place’s traditions and history. Now that I’m a new resident of Pittsburg, one way I’ve found to engage with my new environment is through the art murals (壁画) found around town. Whenever I take a walk around the Old Town area, I stop to admire the mural at Heritage Park Plaza (HPP). As a newcomer, I find myself identifying with one section of the mural in particular. It shows a newly arrived family with their belongings, transitioning (过渡) into a photograph of a wedding. To me, this symbolizes establishing general roots — something I hope to do here in Pittsburg as well. Another mural I enjoy is located on the side of the Ace Hardware building on Railroad Avenue. This colorful piece honors the indigenous heritage (土著遗产) of the Pittsburg area, specifically the Bay Miwok people who lived here long before European settlers arrived. The mural acknowledges the lives of these indigenous groups, whose cultures were reshaped by newcomers. Today, these cultures coexist, a reality the mural beautifully illustrates. Lastly, there’s an amazing mural on the history of the Latino identity, located on the back of the Cardenas Markets near the highway entrance. The mural records the pre-history, transformation, and ongoing cultural presence of the Latino community in Pittsburg. As someone who shares in that heritage, I find it deeply meaningful to see it proudly displayed as visitors enter the town. It’s a visual welcome that makes me feel connected to the city and its values. These murals have become my way of bonding with Pittsburg, offering me a sense of belonging and helping me appreciate the town’s rich history. They serve as both reminders of the past and invitations to become a part of the ongoing story of this community. I encourage everyone to walk through their city, or any new town, and explore public art to better understand the community’s identity. 13．What does the mural at HPP inspire the author to do? A．Learn about Pittsburg’s historical events. B．Take photographs of particular art murals. C．Build lasting family bonds in Pittsburg. D．Protect the traditions of older residents. 14．What does the Ace Hardware mural illustrate? A．The integration of different cultures. B．The cruelty of European settlement. C．The restoration of indigenous customs. D．The history of the Ace Hardware building. 15．What aspect of the author does paragraph 4 reveal? A．Her original Latino background. B．Her talent for appreciating murals. C．Her contribution to the local community. D．Her role as a tour guide for Latino visitors. 16．What is the best title for the text? A．A Travel Journal of Pittsburg’s Murals B．Pittsburg’s Traditions Preserved in Art C．Exploring the Artistic Side of Pittsburg D．Engaging with Pittsburg Through Public Art Passage 5 （2026·广东东莞·三模）My small backyard had been neglected for years with overgrown weeds and dry soil. Last summer, I determined to transform it: I bought seeds, soil, and basic tools, eager to start my gardening project. The first few weeks were disheartening. The seeds either failed to grow or were eaten by birds. I watered tirelessly every day, adjusted sunlight, and tended to them constantly, yet nothing grew. I was ready to quit, convinced I had no talent for gardening. One afternoon, my neighbor Mr. Henderson, who tended his roses daily, watched me and said gently: “You’re trying too hard. Plants need care, but also space to grow on their own.” His words made sense. I relaxed: watered less often, let rain do its part, and stopped overthinking. Soon, tiny green buds emerged. By August, my backyard bloomed with color and scent; I’d sit there evenings, tasting tea, amazed by their beauty. Then a storm hit — strong winds knocked over my sunflowers. Heartbroken, I planned to pull them up, but Mr. Henderson appeared again: “Don’t give up. The strongest plants survive storms — they’ll heal if you give them a chance.” Weeks later, those sunflowers stood taller and stronger, their golden heads turning to the sun. I realized gardening wasn’t just about growing plants. All things have their own rhythm of recovery; what we struggle to control often fails, while what we gently trust finds its way back to light. The world does not always bend to our hurry, and neither do the things we care for. Some winds are meant to strengthen us, not break us. This summer, I’ll plant more seeds, both in the garden and in my heart. Growth takes time, and even life’s hardest moments are our greatest teachers. 17．Why does the author think she has no talent for gardening? A．She didn’t know how to use tools. B．She worked hard caring plants but in vain. C．She didn’t have a good taste for plants. D．She was slow in learning plant knowledge. 18．How did the author respond to Mr. Henderson’s advice? A．Let nature take its course. B．Stop watering the seeds. C．Ask him to look after her garden. D．Learn to enjoy the garden’s beauty. 19．Why are the sunflowers mentioned in the text? A．To present the risks of gardening. B．To highlight the delicacy of young plants. C．To illustrate the cruelty of natural disasters. D．To show the strength and energy of plants. 20．What can be inferred about the author? A．She never gives up when things get difficult. B．She believes success comes from effort and luck. C．She considers gardening the top priority in her life. D．She reshapes her gardening mindset in light of experiences. Passage 6 （2026·福建三明·模拟预测）A few orange flags mark Kwesi Joseph’s plants in a Brooklyn community garden. Joseph, an urban garden specialist, is conducting a low-tech experiment.“I feel like a kid having fun with scientific discovery,” Joseph said. As a boy, Joseph was naturally drawn to the physical world beneath his feet. The feel of dirt and clay stayed with him over the years, and he later earned a bachelor’s degree in geology (地质学). In 2011, during a stressful time in his life, he revisited that early connection with encouragement from his wife. Joseph transformed an underused backyard into a garden, a decision that would lay the groundwork for his future career. Gardening inspired Joseph to experiment further. With his background in geology, he wondered if crushed rocks could provide plants with essential nutrients. Joseph started conducting trials with the“rock dust” of basalt, a type of rock that contains micronutrients. In the process, he discovered something unexpected: basalt can react with CO₂ in the air and turn it into a solid that gets stuck in the ground. Studies show that this process, known as enhanced rock weathering, can also reduce soil acidity and absorb nitrogen (氮) pollution caused by fertilizers(肥料). However, Joseph began to see that creating long-term, sustainable change in urban agriculture required more than hands-on knowledge — it demanded strategic thinking, system-level insight and the ability to connect grassroots efforts with broader policy systems. That realization led him to pursue a business degree at Cornell. Since completing his degree in 2025, Joseph has felt more equipped to build not just gardens, but also the support systems and partnerships needed to sustain them. By working with the community and sharing his love for gardening, he has helped people become stronger and more independent through community gardens. “It’s all about taking care of our soil and our plants,”Joseph said,“because, in return, they will take care of us.” 21．What motivated Joseph to study geology? A．His early interest in earth. B．The stress of daily life. C．His experience in gardening. D．The advice from his wife. 22．What did Joseph find about basalt in his experiment? A．It contains micronutrients. B．It arrests and stores CO₂. C．It enhances rock weathering. D．It consumes and removes soil minerals. 23．What do we know about Joseph from paragraph 4? A．He followed local policies. B．He changed his career path. C．He preferred hands-on learning. D．He took a broader viewpoint. 24．What is the best title for the text? A．Testing Basalt in Gardens B．Storing Carbon in Rocks C．Bridging Soil and Society D．Connecting Community and Policy Passage 7 （2026·福建三明·二模）Jacob Nelson stands inside his modest store in Preston, England. Outside, a line of 150 people stretches down the street. Some wait for over six hours, smartphones in hand, expectant and smiling. Surprisingly, they aren’t there for trendy hamburgers, but for an old-fashioned dish his family has sold for years: the baked potato, known locally as jacket spuds. Not long ago, the scene was different. Jacob often stood in his quiet store, watching people pass him by for fast-food chains. To many, his potatoes were the plain and boring food of school cafeterias. Jacob realized his product “wasn’t sexy” —— it lacked the modern appeal younger customers wanted. He feared his family’ s business heritage would simply be forgotten by the modern world. To save the business, Jacob and his brother turned to social media. They filmed their daily work, capturing the satisfying sound of crispy skin cracking and golden butter melting. These clever videos, seasoned with local humor, soon went viral online. Jacob was shocked to see teenagers from distant cities waiting at his window, eager to record their own videos of his ordinary potatoes. His success grew into stardom—— the fame and popularity he never imagined. For Jacob, however, the real reward is the interaction with those around him. He treats regulars like old friends, sharing jokes and life stories across the counter. He even sponsors a neighborhood soccer team to give back. In a time of rising costs, his affordable meals provide a sense of regional pride, warmth and belonging. Whether the potato boom is just a passing trend remains to be seen. But for now, the store remains a symbol of possibility. The humble potato has moved from boredom to stardom—— not through fancy changes, but by inviting a new generation to rediscover a simple, warm piece of home. 25．What does the underlined word “sexy” in paragraph 2 mean? A．Refreshing. B．Attracting. C．Healthy. D．Recyclable. 26．What did Jacob intend to do through the videos? A．Record daily cooking. B．Show cooking skills. C．Modernize brand image. D．Teach baking methods. 27．What does Jacob value most about his success? A．Business expansion. B．Skill improvement. C．Spiritual growth. D．Community bonds. 28．What can we infer about Jacob? A．He enjoys filming cooking. B．He enjoys financial success. C．He is creative and generous. D．He is stylish and modest. Passage 8 （2026·浙江宁波·模拟预测）In India, when an elephant tramples crops or a leopard attacks livestock, or worse, a person, the fallout can be disastrous for families. It can also create the human-nature tension and ruin the harmony with each other that is crucial for protecting wildlife. This is why conservation biologist Krithi Karanth has spent years developing novel strategies to help people live alongside some of the world’s most dangerous animals. For that, she’s been named the 2026 Rolex National Geographic Explorer of the Year, an award for contributions to research and conservation among National Geographic Explorers. As CEO of the Bengaluru-based Centre for Wildlife Studies, Karanth faces a paradox (矛盾) that India, with 1.4 billion people, is also a stronghold for wildlife, home to approximately half of Asia’s elephants and roughly three-quarters of the planet’s wild tigers. Conserving those and other species, she says, requires not just saving habitat but also winning hearts and minds. Karanth has launched Wild Seve, a platform for users to request government compensation (补偿金) when wildlife damages crops, livestock, or property. With a simple toll-free call, victims ask the program’s trained field staff to document losses, then file claims and track cases as they’re processed by government officials. Wild Seve has helped some 17,000 families make up for economic losses, and reduced the likelihood of hunting as punishment. Reducing the bad outcomes is far from enough. She has also created a curriculum for schoolkids living near wildlife reserves, called Wild Shaale, designed to inspire curiosity about and respect for animals. Through games, storytelling, and art, the program explores why conflicts occur and how to respond safely. Wild Shaale is now taught in some 1,600 schools across India. “Krithi has sparked a movement of hope across India,” says National Geographic Society CEO Jill Tiefenthaler. “By combining science, education, and community partnership, she is redefining how people live in harmony with nature, and what conservation can achieve for communities and young people.” Next, Karanth wants to apply her ideas outside India, cultivating an international crop of environmental stewards — or even just empathetic neighbors. “Having a set of people who at least tolerate the presence of a large animal,” she says, “is a massive victory.” 29．What made Karanth the 2026 Rolex National Geographic Explorer of the Year? A．Stopping elephants destroying crops. B．Protecting people from dangerous animals. C．Participating in saving wildlife personally. D．Improving the bond between man and wildlife. 30．What paradox is Karanth faced with? A．Indians dislike living alongside wild animals. B．India is crowded with too many wild species. C．India lacks sufficient resources for its people. D．Indians and animals compete for living space. 31．Why did Karanth launch these conservation programs across India? A．To help people co-exist with wild animals. B．To free kids from the threat from animals. C．To inform farmers of the loss-claiming process. D．To convince people to establish wildlife reserves. 32．What is the key to success in Karanth’s conservation work? A．Having a global vision. B．Reforming education policies. C．Earning people’s support. D．Prioritizing human interests. Passage 9 （2026·江苏南京·模拟预测）Meltwater from a glacial (冰川的) lake outburst is flooding Juneau, Alaska. Such events happen more often as climate change destabilizes ice. On August 5, 2025, residents of Juneau, Alaska, were awakened by emergency alerts. A glacial lake north of the city had burst its icy banks, sending a wave of meltwater rushing down the Mendenhall River. It covered roads, damaged homes, and forced the evacuation (疏散) of more than 300 people. For scientists who study cryospheric (冰冻圈的) changes, the disaster came as a confirmation of a troubling trend. “Glacial lake outburst floods, or GLOFs, have always been a risk in icy regions, but climate change is supercharging that risk,” says Maya Wilson, a glaciologist at the University of Alaska Southeast. As global temperatures rise, glaciers are melting faster. This meltwater pools behind moraines (冰碛) to form glacial lakes. Warmer temperatures also weaken the moraines themselves, many of which are held together in part by ice that is now melting away. The Juneau event is by no means unique. In 2022, a GLOF in Pakistan destroyed bridges and irrigation systems, cutting off food and medical supplies. In 2023, a similar flood in Peru swept away a hydroelectric plant, leaving nearby towns without power for weeks. What makes these events particularly dangerous is their unpredictability. Unlike rainfall floods, GLOFs can occur with little warning. The moraine dams (堤坝) can collapse suddenly after years of wear and tear. “We can monitor the size of glacial lakes with satellites, but predicting exactly when a dam will fail is extremely difficult,” Wilson explains. “Small changes, like a sudden heatwave or a minor earthquake, can bring about a disastrous outburst.” Communities in high-risk areas are struggling to adapt. In Juneau, local officials are setting up sensors to track water levels and the stability of nearby moraines. The government has also assigned $2 million for flood protection projects. Yet adaptation efforts face significant obstacles. Many glacial lake regions are too remote to place equipment. Funding is insufficient, especially for developing nations. “We can’t just react after they happen,” Wilson argues. “We need long-term investments in monitoring and early warning systems. Otherwise GLOFs would only become more frequent and destructive.” 33．Why is the Juneau event mentioned in paragraph 1? A．To show severe damage caused by GLOFs. B．To call for long-term global financial support. C．To explain the necessity of disaster prevention. D．To introduce the forming mechanism of GLOFs. 34．What might be the main cause of frequent GLOFs? A．Lake expansion. B．Surrounding glaciers. C．Climate change. D．Geographical features. 35．What can we learn from paragraph 3? A．GLOFs may strike without advance warning. B．Local facilities are well-built to monitor GLOFs. C．Satellites can forecast dam collapse with accuracy. D．GLOFs happen more often in developing countries. 36．What does Maya Wilson stress in her remarks? A．Sufficient funds for post-disaster relief. B．Priority for emergency response. C．Flood protection projects in remote areas. D．Sustained support for risk prevention. Passage 10 （2026·湖北武汉·三模）Twelve-year-old Sandi Chandee wants to be a doctor when she grows up. But that’s not why she memorized one of the longest medical terms in English: Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis. In an after-school classroom, she takes out a piece of paper and fills up a whole line to spell the word that describes a type of lung disease. The word allows her to practice cursive — her new favorite method of writing. She is now a proud member of the Holmes Middle School cursive club. Kenerson, a multilingual teacher at Holmes, started the club when students couldn’t read her writing on the board. They just stared at her blankly, she said. For an educator who firmly believes that quotes deserve to be written in cursive, Kenerson wanted to give students a chance to understand the magic of the loopy writing. The club exploded in popularity this past winter, but Kenerson has been racking her brain trying to figure out why it has drawn so much attention. “I’m stunned,” She said. “I’m just going along with the ride.” The club is a local example of a nationwide trend — cursive handwriting is back in many classrooms across the country. Teachers and educators credit the resurgence to some evidence of educational benefits. Shawn Datchuk, a professor at the University of Iowa, and a team of researchers compiled studies on it. Preliminary evidence shows cursive writing could improve spelling. Datchuk said the “special sauce” is that students have to pay closer attention to how letters connect when they write. In his college classroom, he sees students increasingly use tablets to take notes. But technology is not a fix-all for students, he said, “We likely need to help our students become multi-modal. One of the dirty secrets behind computer spell checker and artificial intelligence is that you still need to be able to spell in order to use those well.” Back in Kenerson’s cursive club, all the students feel proud of their cursive skills, as it lets them read what others can’t — and they have no doubts about its value. 37．Why is Sandi mentioned in the first paragraph? A．To show her dream. B．To introduce cursive. C．To praise her memory. D．To describe a lung disease. 38．What inspired Kenerson to set up the cursive club? A．Students’ poor eyesight. B．Students’ blank stares. C．Her love for written quotes. D．Her love for the loopy writing. 39．What does the underlined word “resurgence” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A．Revival. B．Review. C．Repeat. D．Recreation. 40．How are cursive and technology related according to Datchuk? A．Technology may replace cursive. B．Spell check needs cursive reading. C．Tablets reduce cursive practice. D．Cursive boosts skills AI needs. 1 / 19 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
