Passage 1
(25-26高一上·辽宁·阶段检测)In America, when the eighth graders leave the middle school, they are often worried about moving to the high school. It is a hard time for them,but it can be an exciting one as well. To make it easier, students need to get familiar with their school.
Even though they’ve done this already in the middle school, it’s still important to find where their classrooms are. Most schools take students to the high school for a visit at the end of their eighth grade year. And, most schools also have a freshman(新生) speech for parents and students before the first year begins. Sometimes the main office will give away a map of the school. This can help students and parents to find different places in the school.

If you are not interested in sports, there are clubs for any interest, such as drama, dance, chess, photography, community service, etc. These clubs allow students from different grades. By joining an activity,students can find new friendships, not to mention improving their chances in future college applications(申请).

Passage 2
(24-25高一上·广东·期中)I was thirteen years old. My family had moved to Southern California from North Florida a year before. Angry and stubborn, I could not adapt to this sudden change. Like so many teenagers, I struggled to escape from anything that did not agree with my picture of the world. A “good without need of guidance” kid, I rejected any kind of offering of love.
One night, after a particularly difficult day, I stormed into my room, shut the door and got into bed. As I lay down in the privacy of my bed, my hands slipped under my pillow. There was an envelope. I pulled it out and on the envelope, it read, “To read when you’re alone.” Since I was alone, no one would know whether I read it or not, so I opened it. It said “Mike, I know life is hard right now, I know you are upset and I know we don’t do everything right. I also know that I love you completely and nothing you do or say will ever change that. I am here for you and I love you — that will never change. Love, Mom.” That was the first of several “To read when you’re alone” letters.
Nowadays, I travel the world helping people. I was in Sarasota, Florida, teaching a seminar (研讨课) when, at the end of the day, a woman came up to me and shared the difficulty she was having with her son. We walked out to the beach, and I told her of my mom’s undying love and about the “To read when you’re alone” letters. Several weeks later, I got a card that said she had written her first letter and left it for her son. That night as I went to bed, I put my hands under my pillow and remembered the relief I felt every time I got a letter. In the midst of my teen years, the letters were reminders of calm that I was loved in spite of my shortcomings. Today, when the seas of life get stormy, I know that what under my pillow is assurance of love — consistent (始终如一的) and unconditional love changes my life.

Passage 3
(25-26高一上·河北·阶段检测)In Chinese high schools, clubs are popular among students — they often focus on hobbies like calligraphy (书法), science experiments, or debate, and usually balance activity time with school studies. Many Chinese students join clubs to find out about interests outside textbooks, make friends with similar likes, and learn useful skills.
Similarly, American high schools have many kinds of clubs, and one of the most loved is the Drama Club. It’s more than just an extracurricular activity — it’s an active group where students can be creative, get confidence, and make good friends. Unlike some clubs that focus on specific (具体的) skills, the Drama Club isn’t only about putting on plays; it helps students grow in many ways, so lots of teens love joining it.
Each term, the club presents a big show. Open tryouts welcome everyone — no experience needed. A freshman might do a short speech for a small role, while a senior could land a lead in Romeo and Juliet. Those who prefer not to act build sets, make costumes, manage lights, or keep practices on track. Even shy students find their special job, like a second-year student discovering a love for painting backgrounds.
Practices run 3-4 afternoons weekly. Students practice lines until they sound natural, fix small problems, and support nervous peers (同龄人). Performance week is exciting: the school hall shines as families arrive with flowers. The audience takes a quick breath at sad moments, laughs at funny lines, and cheers loudly at the end — making all the hard work feel worth doing, with pride lasting for years.
Beyond fun, the club teaches valuable skills: speaking in front of people, managing time, and understanding how others feel when acting as characters. For many American high schoolers, it’s more than a club — it’s a second family, where they learn to try new things, help others, and discover new sides of themselves.
1. Why do many Chinese students join high school clubs?
A.To focus on textbook studies.
B.To explore the world out of class.
C.To prepare for entering the college.
D.To spend more time on extra activities.
2. What can we learn about the Drama Club in American high schools?
A.It mainly attracts shy students.
B.It needs rich experience to join.
C.It offers a job for every student.
D.It holds a big show every month.
3. How do students feel about their work in the Drama Club?
A.Valuable. B.Annoying. C.Challenging. D.Comfortable.
4. How does the American Drama Club help students?
A.By improving their living standards.
B.By developing their all-round skills.
C.By focusing on their physical health.
D.By providing better studying conditions.
【答案】1. B 2. C 3. A 4. B

Those who prefer not to act build sets, make costumes, manage lights, or keep practices on track. Even shy students find their special job, like a second-year student discovering a love for painting backgrounds.(欢迎所有参与者参加试镜 —— 无需任何经验。新生可能会为一个小角色做一段简短的表演,而高年级学生则有机会获得《罗密欧与朱丽叶》中的主角。那些不喜欢表演的人可以负责搭建舞台布景、制作服装、管理灯光,或者协助排练顺利进行。即使是害羞的学生也能找到适合自己的角色,比如一位二年级的学生可能会因此发现自己对绘制背景的热爱)”可知,俱乐部为所有学生(无论是否有表演经历,无论是否实际参演)都提供了参与工作机会。故选C项。
3. 细节理解题。根据文章第四段内容“The audience takes a quick breath at sad moments, laughs at funny lines, and cheers loudly at the end — making all the hard work feel worth doing, with pride lasting for years.(在悲伤的时刻,观众会短暂地屏住呼吸;在有趣的台词出现时,他们会大笑;而在结尾处,他们会高声欢呼——这一切让所有的辛勤付出都变得值得,那份自豪之情会持续多年)”可知,当学生们在话剧团辛勤的付出得到了观众的回应时,学生们就会认为他们的工作很有价值,值得自豪。故选A项。

Passage 4
(25-26高一上·福建南平·阶段检测)Have you ever had something good happen to you and felt like shouting it from the housetops? Sharing good news with others and receiving an enthusiastic response in return has been tied to many good results, including closer relationships and greater happiness. Now, a new study suggests another advantage of sharing the good things: more feelings of thankfulness.
The researchers started by asking 300 attendees how often they would like to share good news, and how other people in their lives generally responded to their good news. Then, six times a day for ten days, the researchers asked the attendees to report on how thankful they were at that time, how recently they’d had a social meeting, whether they’d shared good news with that person, and how close they felt to the person as a result.
After that, the researchers studied the results to look for styles. They found those who shared good news with others felt more thankful at the time and closer to the person with whom they shared the news. In addition, people who would like to share good news and receive enthusiastic responses were generally the most thankful in the group.
Sharing good news calls attention to the good things happening in your life, says Alexandra Gray, study co-writer of Northeastern University. For example, you might tell a friend what a great time you had over the holidays, and in recounting what happened, you can re-experience the good feelings and become even more thankful.
Getting an enthusiastic response to your good news is also important, says Gray, because it makes you feel connected and cared for in a way that improves your relationship, and also leads to thankfulness.
Though there’s still more research to be done, Gray suggests people not hesitate to share their good news with others, or on showing enthusiasm when others share good news with them. We all have a role to play in helping good news spread.
1. How did the researchers carry out the study?
A.By studying the attendees’ daily reports.
B.By noticing the attendees’ social meetings.
C.By following the attendees’ interactive behaviors.
D.By changing the attendees’ thoughts about sharing.
2. What does the underlined word “recounting” probably mean in paragraph 4?
A.Hiding. B.Considering. C.Restating. D.Questioning.
3. What can we learn from enthusiastic responses to shared good news?
A.They influence more friends.
B.They show the listener’s mindset.
C.They increase the sharer’s self-acceptance.
D.They make people more connected with others.
4. What is the main finding of the research mentioned in the text?
A.Social meetings are key to close relationships.
B.Sharing good news helps build thankfulness.
C.Enthusiastic listeners have the best friendships.
D.Daily reporting improves one’s happiness.
【答案】1. A 2. C 3. D 4. B
【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文介绍一项新研究,指出分享好消息不仅能增进人际关系、提升幸福感,还能让人更具感恩之心,并详细说明研究过程、结果及研究者的建议。
【详解】1. 细节理解题。根据第二段“Then, six times a day for ten days, the researchers asked the attendees to report on how thankful they were at that time, how recently they’d had a social meeting, whether they’d shared good news with that person, and how close they felt to the person as a result.(然后,在十天里,研究人员每天六次要求参与者报告当时的感恩程度、最近一次社交会面的时间、是否与对方分享了好消息,以及由此产生的与对方的亲近感。)”可知,研究人员通过收集参与者的日常报告来开展研究。故选A。
2. 词句猜测题。根据第四段“For example, you might tell a friend what a great time you had over the holidays, and in recounting what happened, you can re-experience the good feelings and become even more thankful.(例如,你可能会告诉朋友你假期过得多么愉快,在 recounting 所发生的事情时,你能重新体验那种美好的感觉,并变得更加感恩。)”可知,recounting的语境是“向朋友讲述假期经历”,结合“重新体验美好感觉”可推测,该词意为“重述、讲述”,与Restating(重述)含义相近。故选C。
3. 细节理解题。根据第五段“Getting an enthusiastic response to your good news is also important, says Gray, because it makes you feel connected and cared for in a way that improves your relationship, and also leads to thankfulness.(格雷说,好消息得到热情回应也很重要,因为这会让你感到与他人有联系、被关心,这种方式能改善人际关系,也能让人产生感恩之心。)”可知,对分享的好消息做出热情回应能让人与他人的联系更紧密。故选D。
4. 细节理解题。根据第一段关键句“Now, a new study suggests another advantage of sharing the good things: more feelings of thankfulness.(现在,一项新研究指出了分享好事的另一个好处:更强的感恩之心。)”及第三段研究结果“They found those who shared good news with others felt more thankful at the time and closer to the person with whom they shared the news.(他们发现,那些与他人分享好消息的人在当时会感到更感恩,并且与分享对象的关系也更亲近。)” 可知,该研究的核心发现是“分享好消息有助于培养感恩之心”。故选B。
Passage 5
(25-26高一上·河北·期末)In our daily life, many people tend to shy away from difficulties, choosing the comfort of familiarity over the unknown. However, facing challenges can unlock unexpected growth and opportunities. For me, saying “yes” to new challenges has been a key to self-improvement, even when fear tried to hold me back.
An example lies in my experience with learning the piano. At the age of 12, I was invited to join a school piano recital (独奏会). I had only played simple pieces and had never performed in front of an audience. My hands trembled at the thought of sitting on that stage, but something inside me whispered, “What if I can?” So I took a deep breath and said “yes”.
Practicing was far from easy. The piece I chose had complicated melodies (旋律). There were nights when I wanted to quit, frustrated by my mistakes. But each time I felt like giving up, I reminded myself why I’d said “yes” in the first place: not to be perfect, but to grow. Gradually, the music began to flow. On the day of the recital, though nervous, I played confidently. The applause afterward wasn’t just for the performance — it was for the courage to try.
Looking back, I realize that saying “no” would have kept me in a safe but unchanging and inactive place. By facing the challenge, I gained not only piano skills but also the belief that I could overcome fears. This experience taught me that challenges are not obstacles but stepping stones. They push us beyond our limits and show strengths we never knew we had.
In a world that often encourages staying within our comfort zones, dare to say “yes” to new adventures. Whether it’s learning a new skill, joining a competition, or helping someone in need, each “yes” is a chance to grow. Remember, growth begins at the end of your comfort zone.
1. Why was the author nervous about the piano recital?
A.Her piano teacher was very strict. B.She didn’t like the piece she had to play.
C.She had never performed in public before. D.She forgot the music during practice.
2. What did the author remind herself when she wanted to quit?
A.She needed to be perfect for the recital. B.She said “yes” to grow, not to be perfect.
C.Her family was expecting a great performance. D.The recital was too important to miss.
3. What does the author encourage readers to do?
A.Try to learn some new skills. B.Face new challenges bravely.
C.Take on difficult tasks. D.Help others in trouble.
4. What is the main idea of the text?
A.Facing challenges leads to personal growth. B.Saying “no” to challenges helps us grow.
C.People should face difficulties calmly. D.Playing the piano is easy with enough practice.
【答案】1. C 2. B 3. B 4. A
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。作者通过讲述自己克服恐惧参加钢琴独奏会的经历,阐述了面对挑战能带来个人成长这一观点,并鼓励读者勇敢面对新挑战。
【详解】1. 细节理解题。根据第二段中“I had only played simple pieces and had never performed in front of an audience. My hands trembled at the thought of sitting on that stage (我只弹过简单的曲子,从未在观众面前表演过。一想到要坐在那个舞台上,我的手就发抖)”可知,作者从未在公众面前表演过,所以想到要在舞台上表演就会紧张。故选C项。
2. 细节理解题。根据第三段中“But each time I felt like giving up, I reminded myself why I’d said ‘yes’ in the first place: not to be perfect, but to grow. (但每次我想放弃的时候,我都会提醒自己当初为什么说‘是’:不是为了完美,而是为了成长。)”可知,当作者想放弃时,她提醒自己说“是”是为了成长,而不是为了完美。故选B项。
3. 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“In a world that often encourages staying within our comfort zones, dare to say ‘yes’ to new adventures. (在一个经常鼓励我们待在舒适区的世界里,要敢于对新的冒险说‘是’。)”可知,作者鼓励读者勇敢面对新挑战。故选B项。
4. 主旨大意题。根据第一段中“However, facing challenges can unlock unexpected growth and opportunities. (然而,面对挑战可以开启意想不到的成长和机会)”、第四段中“This experience taught me that challenges are not obstacles but stepping stones. They push us beyond our limits and show strengths we never knew we had. (这段经历让我明白,挑战不是障碍,而是垫脚石。它们推动我们超越极限,展现出我们从未意识到的力量。)”以及全文内容可知,文章主要讲述了作者通过参加钢琴独奏会的经历,明白了面对挑战能带来个人成长,所以文章的主旨是面对挑战能带来个人成长。故选A项。
Passage 6
(25-26高一上·湖南长沙·阶段检测)How good are you at maths? Some people love the challenge of algebra (代数) or enjoy working out number puzzles. Maths is all around us, from working out how to split the bill after a meal to calculating your household bills. But many people dread the moment when they have to deal with numbers and figures, and feel a real sense of worry and confusion. It can seem depressing, but this “maths anxiety” is perfectly normal, and you’re definitely not alone. And anyway, our worries and fears don’t necessarily show our ability.
Research traces maths anxiety back to school experiences. Nervous teachers may unintentionally pass their fears to students, and girls are particularly vulnerable. Data from 34 countries reveals striking numbers: 31% of teenagers feel nervous about solving problems, 33% stress over homework, and nearly 60% fear difficult classes. Shulamit Kahn, a Boston University expert, argues that positive role models — especially female teachers — are critical to building confidence in young learners.
Writing for BBC Future, David Robson says, “It’s not clear why maths causes so much fear compared to geography. But the fact that there’s only one correct answer — there’s no room for bluffing — might make you more worried about under-performing.” And once we suppose we’re not a “maths person”, we avoid solving things that we probably could do.
Psychologists have been trying to work out why maths can bring us out in a sweat. That seed of fear may come from many sources, but some suggest that expressing your fears can loosen their hold on you and recommend children to see a maths test as a challenge, not a threat. In fact, we need to think positively about maths and give it a second chance.
1. What does the author think of “maths anxiety”?
A.It doesn’t mean poor ability. B.It affects almost everyone from birth.
C.It naturally disappears with age. D.It only troubles school children.
2. What does “there’s no room for bluffing” mean about maths problems?
A.They require creative thinking. B.They can be understood differently.
C.They demand exact answers. D.They include many maths steps.
3. How do psychologists advise reducing maths anxiety?
A.Ignore it and move on to harder problems. B.Adjust exams to lower stress for students.
C.Voice your worries and try again. D.Replace daily maths with puzzle games.
4. What is the best title for the passage?
A.How Do We Learn Maths Effectively? B.Is Maths Worth Learning?
C.Are Boys Better at Maths than Girls? D.Should We Fear Maths?
【答案】1. A 2. C 3. C 4. D
【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章旨在引导学生正确看待数学学习,通过转变思维来缓解焦虑,从而以更健康的态度面对数学。专家指出榜样力量,倡导把数学当挑战,积极面对可减压。
【详解】1. 推理判断题。根据第一段“It can seem depressing, but this “maths anxiety” is perfectly normal, and you’re definitely not alone. And anyway, our worries and fears don’t necessarily show our ability. (这可能看起来令人沮丧,但这种“数学焦虑”是完全正常的,绝对不是你一个人这样。无论如何,我们的担忧和恐惧并不一定表明我们的能力。)”可知,作者认为人们对数学的恐惧焦虑并不能反映出他们的能力。故选A项。
2. 词句猜测题。根据画线句前的破折号可知,该句是对破折号前面fact的同位语从句内容“that there’s only one correct answer (只有一个正确答案)”的解释,由此可知,该句是强调数学学科题目答案的唯一性,即数学要求确切的答案。故选C项。
3. 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Psychologists have been trying to work out why maths can bring us out in a sweat. That seed of fear may come from many sources, but some suggest that expressing your fears can loosen their hold on you and recommend children to see a maths test as a challenge, not a threat. In fact, we need to think positively about maths and give it a second chance. (心理学家正探究为何数学让人冒汗。恐惧种子来源多,但把焦虑说出来能削弱它;应把数学测试视为挑战而非威胁。让我们对数学多一点积极,再给它一次机会。)”可知,心理学家建议勇敢说出自己对数学的担忧并保持积极的态度, 再试一次,以此来减少对数学的焦虑。C选项中的voice与express,try again与give it a second chance近义表达。故选C项。
4. 主旨大意题。根据第一段“But many people dread the moment when they have to deal with numbers and figures, and feel a real sense of worry and confusion. It can seem depressing, but this “maths anxiety” is perfectly normal, and you’re definitely not alone. And anyway, our worries and fears don’t necessarily show our ability. (但许多人害怕面对数字的时刻,感到真正的担忧和困惑。这可能看起来令人沮丧,但这种“数学焦虑”是完全正常的,你绝对不是一个人。无论如何,我们的担忧和恐惧并不一定表明我们的能力。)”并通读全文可知,文章主要介绍了数学焦虑这一现象及成因,以及心理学家对于如何减少数学焦虑的建议, 整体围绕是否应该害怕数学展开讨论。故选D项。

The struggle develops the energy in the butterfly which makes it fly. Similarly, the challenges (挑战) of life bring out the best in young people and make them fly.
When people are young, meeting and overcoming (克服) challenges will make them strong and ready to face life. When we look at successful people, we see that the most successful of them are people who have had to struggle. One famous businessman, who now owns many supermarkets, used to carry clothes on his back and sell them from door to door when he was young. Another successful man is Dennis. His father died when he was only twenty. His father’s death forced him to mature fast. He had to bring up a family of nine people. He took up the challenges and overcame them. Today his brothers and sisters are leading successful lives.
Sometimes challenges do not appear to us because we keep away from them. So some parents and teachers actively encourage young people to face challenges. They might organize some activities for young people which provide them with challenges, like rock-climbing, camping, volunteer work and so on. However, just passing exams will not prepare a person for life. We must meet and overcome challenges. The young people of today will become the leaders of tomorrow. For countries to continue to become successful, it is important that the young people learn to meet challenges and overcome them.
1. Dennis’s example shows that successful people should ________.
A.take up business early
B.sell clothes from door to door
C.overcome the difficulties
D.become the leaders of tomorrow
2. The meaning of the underlined word “mature” in the passage is “________”.
A.take up B.get up C.wake up D.grow up
3. What is the writer trying to do in the passage?
A.Encourage young people to face challenges.
B.Suggest how to become a successful businessman.
C.Explain what will happen if a person fails the exam.
D.Describe where a butterfly comes from.
4. What is the best title for this passage?
A.Successful People Have a Sense of Achievement.
B.Young People Must Develop Their Energy Actively.
C.Countries Should Continue to Become Successful.
D.Challenges of Life Bring Out the Best in Young People.
【答案】1. C 2. D 3. A 4. D
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。主要通过蝴蝶破蛹的故事,论述人生挑战能激发年轻人潜能,鼓励他们勇于面对挑战。
【详解】1. 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Another successful man is Dennis. His father died when he was only twenty. His father’s death forced him to mature fast. He had to bring up a family of nine people. He took up the challenges and overcame them. Today his brothers and sisters are leading successful lives.(另一位成功人士是丹尼斯。他年仅 20 岁时父亲就去世了,父亲的离世迫使他迅速成熟起来。他不得不承担起养活九口之家的责任,直面这些挑战并一一克服。如今,他的兄弟姐妹都过着成功的生活)”可知,丹尼斯的例子表明成功的人应该克服困难。故选C项。
2. 词句猜测题。根据第二段中的“His father died when he was only twenty. His father's death forced him to mature fast. He had to bring up a family of nine people.(他父亲在他只有二十岁时就去世了。父亲的去世迫使他迅速mature。他不得不养活一个九口之家)”可知,父亲早逝让他不得不承担起养家的责任,由此可推知“mature”意为“成长、成熟”,与“grow up”同义。故选D项。
3. 推理判断题。通读全文,尤其是最后一段中的“So some parents and teachers actively encourage young people to face challenges. They might organize some activities for young people which provide them with challenges, like rock-climbing, camping, volunteer work and so on. However, just passing exams will not prepare a person for life. We must meet and overcome challenges. The young people of today will become the leaders of tomorrow. For countries to continue to become successful, it is important that the young people learn to meet challenges and overcome them.(因此,一些父母和老师会积极鼓励年轻人直面挑战。他们可能会为年轻人组织一些富有挑战性的活动,比如攀岩、露营、志愿活动等等。然而,仅仅通过考试并不能让人做好应对人生的准备。我们必须主动迎接并克服挑战。如今的年轻人将成为未来的领导者,一个国家要想持续发展、再创佳绩,年轻人学会迎接并战胜挑战至关重要)”可知,作者写这篇文章的目的是鼓励年轻人面对挑战。故选A项。
4. 主旨大意题。文章开篇第一段以蝴蝶破蛹的故事引出核心观点“Similarly, the challenges (挑战) of life bring out the best in young people and make them fly.(同样地,人生中的挑战能激发年轻人的最大潜能,让他们展翅翱翔)”,随后通过成功人士的例子和现实建议进一步论证该观点。因此,“人生的挑战能激发年轻人的潜能”最适合作为文章标题。故选D项。

Passage 9
(24-25高一上·广东东莞·阶段检测)Ffh. Ffh. Ffh! It was not just the empty nest (鸟巢) of a pewee bird as Amy had found the last five days. Amy ran home through the woods.
“Mum!” she shouted. “I see birds. Two. In cave (洞穴). Beautiful!”
Mum smiled. Birds! Always birds! From the moment Amy woke up in the morning to the moment she closed her eyes at night, she thought only of birds.
Amy climbed straight to her attic room — her museum, she called it. Every shelf, every spare inch of floor, was covered with nests, bird models and natural science books. The walls were covered with pencil and crayon drawings of many different kinds of birds, all signed “Amy in the woods.”
“Are those the same birds who built the nest last year? Will they return to the cave next spring?” Amy always wondered. “I will study my cave birds. I will draw them just as they are.” Amy made up her mind.
In a week, the birds were used to her. They were busy building their nest as Amy watched and drew with her pencils. Soon the dried brown nest became a soft green bed.
Amy watched as two baby birds came out. She watched as the young birds flew for the first time. She began to feel a part of this small family.
When the days grew shorter and the autumn air began to bite, Amy knew the birds would leave soon. But would they come back? She had to know! In bed that night, she formed a plan.
The next day, when the mother and father birds were away from the nest, she tied something to one leg of each baby bird. A week later, the birds were gone. . .
The days grew longer again. One morning. Amy heard a bird call, “Fee-bee! Fee-bee!”
She ran to the cave. Watching the way the birds flew in and out of the cave, Amy knew her friends came back. But where were last year’s babies? Did they return too? She began to search the woods near the cave, listening for their call.
Inside a little house, she found two birds building a nest. One wore a silver ring around its leg. Up the small river, under a bridge, she found two more nesting birds. And one wore a silver ring around its leg. Amy smiled and called, “Fee-bee! Fee-bee!”
1. What did Amy want to find out in the whole story?
A.Where and how the birds spent winter.

A.She marked each baby bird with a silver ring.
B.She separated the baby birds from their parents.
C.She cared for the birds and watched them grow.
D.She used the birds’ language to call them back.
4. What happened to the two baby birds when the second spring came?
A.They flew back and looked for their parents.
B.They made their own nests under a bridge.
C.They flew in and out of the cave to meet Amy.

Passage 10
(25-26高一上·山东临沂·阶段检测)A challenge is a situation that tests your abilities. It needs hard work and courage to get through. Challenges come from many sources, and knowing where they come from is the first step toward dealing with them well.
The sources of challenges are often two-part: external (外部的) and internal. External challenges come from the world around you. For example, moving to a new school, getting used to new study methods, or facing more competition from classmates. Unexpected things, like sudden exams or group project pressure, can also be external challenges. Internal challenges come from yourself. They might be not having enough skills, not knowing some knowledge, or feeling frightened and unsure about yourself — these things can slow down your progress. Often, the hardest challenges mix both external pressure and internal worries.
Successfully managing challenges requires a step-by-step method. First, look at the situation clearly and honestly. If a challenge feels too big, divide it into small, easy-to-do tasks. For example, instead of being unconfident with a big project, focus on completing the first small research. Secondly, actively look for resources (资源) and support. This could be about learning new knowledge through study, improving skills with practice, or depending on the guidance of teachers and the encouragement of friends. Having people to support you gives not only useful tips but also courage and strength. Finally, build resilience. Setbacks (挫折) are a certain part on the path to any meaningful goal — they might make you feel down. The key is to stand up again, learn from what went wrong, and keep moving toward your goal.
In short, challenges are something you can’t avoid, and they’re necessary for growth. By understanding where they come from, designing a strategic plan, and sticking to it without giving up, you can turn difficulties into chances to become better — both in your studies and personal life.
1. Which can be considered an internal source of challenges?
A.A new living environment. B.Difficult Gaokao questions.
C.Uncertainty about the future. D.The development of AI technology.
2. What should we do firstly when learning to use a video editing app according to the passage?
A.Ask friends for encouragement. B.Master its basic uses one by one.
C.Wait to see if it becomes easier. D.Learn new editing skills with practice.
3. What does the underlined word “resilience” in paragraph 3 mean?
A.The ability to get back up. B.The decision to keep going.
C.The gift for solving problems. D.The knowledge of setting goals.
4. What is the writer’s opinion on challenges?
A.They set back one’s growth. B.They are a must for success.
C.They can be managed wisely. D.They come from inner thoughts.
【答案】1. C 2. B 3. A 4. C
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讨论了挑战的来源以及如何应对挑战,强调了挑战是不可避免的,并且对于成长是必要的。
【详解】1. 推理判断题。根据第二段“Internal challenges come from yourself. They might be not having enough skills, not knowing some knowledge, or feeling frightened and unsure about yourself — these things can slow down your progress.(内部的挑战来自你自己。它们可能是没有足够的技能,不知道一些知识,或者对自己感到害怕和不确定——这些事情会减缓你的进步。)”可知,对未来的不确定性属于对自身的不确定,属于挑战的内部来源。故选C。
2. 细节理解题。根据第三段“If a challenge feels too big, divide it into small, easy-to-do tasks. For example, instead of being unconfident with a big project, focus on completing the first small research.(如果一个挑战感觉太大,把它分成小的、容易完成的任务。例如,与其对一个大项目不自信,不如专注于完成第一个小研究。)”可知,当学习使用视频编辑应用程序时,我们首先应该逐一掌握它的基本用途。故选B。
3. 词句猜测题。根据下文“Setbacks are a certain part on the path to any meaningful goal — they might make you feel down. The key is to stand up again, learn from what went wrong, and keep moving toward your goal.(挫折是实现任何有意义目标的必经之路,它可能会让你感到沮丧。关键在于重新振作,从失误中吸取教训,继续朝着目标迈进。)”可知,下文用“遭遇挫折后重新振作、吸取教训继续前行”的描述,解释了resilience的含义。这个单词的核心是“面对挫折快速恢复的能力”,也就是韧性。故选A。
4. 推理判断题。根据最后一段“In short, challenges are something you can’t avoid, and they’re necessary for growth. By understanding where they come from, designing a strategic plan, and sticking to it without giving up, you can turn difficulties into chances to become better — both in your studies and personal life.(简而言之,挑战是你无法避免的,它们对成长是必要的。通过了解它们来自哪里,设计一个战略计划,并坚持不懈地执行,你可以把困难变成变得更好的机会——无论是在学习上还是在个人生活中。)”可知,作者认为挑战可以被明智地管理。故选C。
Passage 11
(25-26高一上·山东菏泽·阶段检测)In order to help change our influence on the environment of the earth, a California-based organisation is searching to build an AI language. It can allow people to deeply understand non-human languages.
Aza Raskin is the co-founder and president of the Earth Species Project (ESP), an organisation that uses a form of AI to translate non-human languages. ESP wants to use its machine learning technology to understand this important information and make it easily known to the public.
Raskin stressed their purpose to help protection by explaining, “The end we are working towards is, we can discover the non-human language, and decode animal communication. Along the way, what is also important is that we are developing technology that supports scientists and protection.” ESP believes that understanding languages can help deepen our relationship with animals and allow us to better protect them.
In the past, understanding the communication of animals heavily depended on a great deal of observation. Whether it is alarm calls or sounds made by dolphins or elephants, scientists have been amazed by the different forms of non-human communication present in these animals. With the development of new technologies, researchers have now begun to understand a great deal of data they can get through machine learning.
Elodie Briefer, a professor at the University of Copenhagen, has recently helped co-develop a pig grunt (呼噜声)analysing algorithm. It can help scientists understand whether the pigs are expressing positive or negative feelings. However, ESP is doing it differently, by focusing on all kinds of animals, not just one. ESP believes it is likely that social animals communicate with each other, for example, whales and dolphins.
Although ESP believes that understanding AI machine learning data is only one step towards full communication, it believes that one day we will be able to understand entire systems of communication.
1. What is Aza Raskin trying to do?
A.Educate the public to take care of animals.
B.Create a new organisation to protect the earth.
C.Help people understand non-human languages.
D.Search for new ways to send information by AI.
2. What does the underlined word “decode” in paragraph 3 mean?
A.Change. B.Understand. C.Admire. D.Explain.
3. How did researchers study animal communication in the past?
A.By developing new machines. B.By making lots of observation.
C.By doing research on computers. D.By comparing different calls of animals.
4. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A.New Technology Is Changing Our Life.
B.Interesting Animals Able to Communicate.
C.A New Way to Understand Animal Languages.
D.Scientists Are Trying to Communicate With Animals.
【答案】1. C 2. B 3. B 4. C
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了为了帮助改变人类对地球环境的影响,加利福尼亚州的一个组织正在探索一种人工智能语言,它可以让人们深入理解非人类语言。
【详解】1. 细节理解题。根据第二段“Aza Raskin is the co-founder and president of the Earth Species Project (ESP),an organization that uses a form of AI to translate non-human languages. ESP wants to use its machine learning technology to understand this important information and make it easily known to the public.(Aza Raskin是地球物种项目(ESP)的联合创始人兼总裁,该组织使用某种形式的人工智能翻译非人类语言。ESP希望利用其机器学习技术来理解这些重要信息,并使其易于为公众所知)”可知,阿扎·拉斯金想帮助人们理解非人类语言。故选C。
2. 词句猜测题。根据画线词上文“The end we are working towards is, we can discover the non-human language(我们努力的最终目标是,我们能够发现非人类的语言)”以及后文“animal communication(动物交流)”可知,他们的目标是发现非人类的语言,说明要能识别出动物的交流。故画线词意思是“识别”。故选B。
3. 细节理解题。根据第四段中“In the past, understanding the communication of animals heavily depended on a great deal of observation.(在过去,了解动物的交流在很大程度上依赖于大量的观察)”可知,ESP研究人员通过大量的观察研究动物交流。故选B。
4. 主旨大意题。通读全文,并结合第二段“Aza Raskin is the co-founder and president of the Earth Species Project (ESP),an organization that uses a form of AI to translate non-human languages. ESP wants to use its machine learning technology to understand this important information and make it easily known to the public.(Aza Raskin是地球物种项目(ESP)的联合创始人兼总裁,该组织使用某种形式的人工智能翻译非人类语言。ESP希望利用其机器学习技术来理解这些重要信息,并使其易于为公众所知)”可知,文章主要介绍了为了帮助改变人类对地球环境的影响,一家总部位于加州的组织正在寻找一种人工智能语言,它可以让人们深入理解非人类语言。因此C选项“理解动物语言的新方法”最符合文章标题。故选C。
Passage 12
(25-26高一上·江苏常州·阶段检测)School clubs are more than just extracurricular activities. They are a vital part of school life that can make learning more enjoyable and help students grow.
Academic (学术的) clubs encourage students to participate in learning beyond the classroom. For instance, a math club might hold competitions and group talks that help students think in new ways and understand difficult ideas better. A science club could do fun experiments showing how school lessons work in real life. These activities make learning more interesting and help students remember what they study.
Confidence plays an important role in both academic success and social interactions. Clubs offer a supportive environment where students can discover new passions and get better at things they enjoy. Whether speaking in a debate club, acting in a theatre club, or building robots in a tech club, students get praised for their work, which makes them feel good about themselves. Overcoming challenges in a club setting — such as presenting in front of an audience or leading a group project — helps them become stronger and more confident in all parts of life.
Besides learning skills, clubs help students make friends. When students like the same things, they become friends who can share thoughts, get advice and help each other. Liking the same things creates strong friendships that continue after school. Feeling part of a group is especially helpful during tough school times, giving students support and reasons to keep trying.
Clubs naturally need teamwork, whether planning activities, sharing materials, or working toward group goals. Through these experiences, students learn to work well with others, divide up jobs, and solve problems together. Being a club leader, like president or project helper, teaches students to be reliable, make choices, and encourage their classmates. These lessons prepare students to work well with others and lead with confidence in the future.
School clubs offer endless opportunities for personal development, fun, and friendship. Whether you are already a club member or are thinking about joining one, remember that every club experience is a step toward becoming the best version of yourself.
1. What is the main benefit of joining academic clubs?
A.They focus on group competitions. B.They offer fun after-school activities.
C.They give students more after-class exercises. D.They help students learn outside the classroom.
2. How do school clubs help students make friends?
A.By creating a competitive environment.
B.By offering both fun and learning experiences.
C.By creating a space for students to meet different people.
D.By allowing students to meet others with similar interests.
3. What can we infer about club leadership roles?
A.They are mainly about organizing events.
B.They involve working without considering others’ ideas.
C.They help students improve their academic performance.
D.They teach students how to manage complex tasks.
4. Where does this text probably come from?
A.A student handbook. B.A research paper. C.A teacher’s blog. D.A business website.
【答案】1. D 2. D 3. D 4. A
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章指出学校俱乐部不只是课外活动,能通过学术类活动辅助学习,还能帮学生建立自信、结交同好、培养团队与领导能力,助力个人成长。
1. 细节理解题。根据第二段“Academic (学术的) clubs encourage students to participate in learning beyond the classroom.(学术社团鼓励学生参与课堂之外的各类学习活动)”可知,加入学术社团的主要好处是能帮助学生在课堂之外进行学习。故选D。
2. 细节理解题。根据第四段“Besides learning skills, clubs help students make friends. When students like the same things, they become friends who can share thoughts, get advice and help each other. Liking the same things creates strong friendships that continue after school.(除了学习技能之外,社团还能帮助学生结交朋友。当学生们喜欢相同的事物时,他们就会成为朋友,能够分享想法、寻求建议并互相帮助。喜欢相同的事物会建立起深厚的友谊,这种友谊在放学后也能持续存在)”可知,学校社团通过让同学们有机会遇到与自己有相同兴趣的人,帮助学生结交朋友。故选D。
3. 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Being a club leader, like president or project helper, teaches students to be reliable, make choices, and encourage their classmates. These lessons prepare students to work well with others and lead with confidence in the future.(作为社团负责人(如社团主席或项目助手),会教导学生要守信、做出选择,并鼓励同学们。这些课程能帮助学生学会与他人良好合作,并在未来自信地领导他人)”可知,俱乐部的领导角色教学生如何处理复杂任务。故选D。
4. 推理判断题。根据第一段“School clubs are more than just extracurricular activities. They are a vital part of school life that can make learning more enjoyable and help students grow.(学校社团不仅仅是课外活动而已。它们是学校生活中不可或缺的一部分,能够让学习变得更加有趣,并帮助学生成长)”结合文章指出学校俱乐部不只是课外活动,能通过学术类活动辅助学习,还能帮学生建立自信、结交同好、培养团队与领导能力,助力个人成长。文章通篇使用第二人称“you”或“students”,以鼓励性和指导性的口吻介绍参加俱乐部的好处,旨在直接面向学生提供信息和建议,这种风格和目的最符合学生手册的特点。因此,文章最可能选自一本学生手册。故选A。

Passage 1
(25-26高一上·辽宁·阶段检测)In America, when the eighth graders leave the middle school, they are often worried about moving to the high school. It is a hard time for them,but it can be an exciting one as well. To make it easier, students need to get familiar with their school.
Even though they’ve done this already in the middle school, it’s still important to find where their classrooms are. Most schools take students to the high school for a visit at the end of their eighth grade year.

Passage 2
(24-25高一上·广东·期中)I was thirteen years old. My family had moved to Southern California from North Florida a year before. Angry and stubborn, I could not adapt to this sudden change. Like so many teenagers, I struggled to escape from anything that did not agree with my picture of the world. A “good without need of guidance” kid, I rejected any kind of offering of love.
One night, after a particularly difficult day, I stormed into my room, shut the door and got into bed. As I lay down in the privacy of my bed, my hands slipped under my pillow. There was an envelope. I pulled it out and on the envelope, it read, “To read when you’re alone.” Since I was alone, no one would know whether I read it or not, so I opened it. It said “Mike, I know life is hard right now, I know you are upset and I know we don’t do everything right. I also know that I love you completely and nothing you do or say will ever change that. I am here for you and I love you — that will never change. Love, Mom.” That was the first of several “To read when you’re alone” letters.
Nowadays, I travel the world helping people. I was in Sarasota, Florida, teaching a seminar (研讨课) when, at the end of the day, a woman came up to me and shared the difficulty she was having with her son. We walked out to the beach, and I told her of my mom’s undying love and about the “To read when you’re alone” letters. Several weeks later, I got a card that said she had written her first letter and left it for her son. That night as I went to bed, I put my hands under my pillow and remembered the relief I felt every time I got a letter. In the midst of my teen years, the letters were reminders of calm that I was loved in spite of my shortcomings. Today, when the seas of life get stormy, I know that what under my pillow is assurance of love — consistent (始终如一的) and unconditional love changes my life.

Passage 3
(25-26高一上·河北·阶段检测)In Chinese high schools, clubs are popular among students — they often focus on hobbies like calligraphy (书法), science experiments, or debate, and usually balance activity time with school studies. Many Chinese students join clubs to find out about interests outside textbooks, make friends with similar likes, and learn useful skills.
Similarly, American high schools have many kinds of clubs, and one of the most loved is the Drama Club. It’s more than just an extracurricular activity — it’s an active group where students can be creative, get confidence, and make good friends. Unlike some clubs that focus on specific (具体的) skills, the Drama Club isn’t only about putting on plays; it helps students grow in many ways, so lots of teens love joining it.
Each term, the club presents a big show. Open tryouts welcome everyone — no experience needed. A freshman might do a short speech for a small role, while a senior could land a lead in Romeo and Juliet. Those who prefer not to act build sets, make costumes, manage lights, or keep practices on track. Even shy students find their special job, like a second-year student discovering a love for painting backgrounds.
Practices run 3-4 afternoons weekly. Students practice lines until they sound natural, fix small problems, and support nervous peers (同龄人). Performance week is exciting: the school hall shines as families arrive with flowers. The audience takes a quick breath at sad moments, laughs at funny lines, and cheers loudly at the end — making all the hard work feel worth doing, with pride lasting for years.
Beyond fun, the club teaches valuable skills: speaking in front of people, managing time, and understanding how others feel when acting as characters. For many American high schoolers, it’s more than a club — it’s a second family, where they learn to try new things, help others, and discover new sides of themselves.
1. Why do many Chinese students join high school clubs?
A.To focus on textbook studies. B.To explore the world out of class.
C.To prepare for entering the college. D.To spend more time on extra activities.
2. What can we learn about the Drama Club in American high schools?
A.It mainly attracts shy students.
B.It needs rich experience to join.
C.It offers a job for every student.
D.It holds a big show every month.
3. How do students feel about their work in the Drama Club?
A.Valuable. B.Annoying. C.Challenging. D.Comfortable.
4. How does the American Drama Club help students?
A.By improving their living standards.
B.By developing their all-round skills.
C.By focusing on their physical health.
D.By providing better studying conditions.
Passage 4
(25-26高一上·福建南平·阶段检测)Have you ever had something good happen to you and felt like shouting it from the housetops? Sharing good news with others and receiving an enthusiastic response in return has been tied to many good results, including closer relationships and greater happiness. Now, a new study suggests another advantage of sharing the good things: more feelings of thankfulness.
The researchers started by asking 300 attendees how often they would like to share good news, and how other people in their lives generally responded to their good news. Then, six times a day for ten days, the researchers asked the attendees to report on how thankful they were at that time, how recently they’d had a social meeting, whether they’d shared good news with that person, and how close they felt to the person as a result.
After that, the researchers studied the results to look for styles. They found those who shared good news with others felt more thankful at the time and closer to the person with whom they shared the news. In addition, people who would like to share good news and receive enthusiastic responses were generally the most thankful in the group.
Sharing good news calls attention to the good things happening in your life, says Alexandra Gray, study co-writer of Northeastern University. For example, you might tell a friend what a great time you had over the holidays, and in recounting what happened, you can re-experience the good feelings and become even more thankful.
Getting an enthusiastic response to your good news is also important, says Gray, because it makes you feel connected and cared for in a way that improves your relationship, and also leads to thankfulness.
Though there’s still more research to be done, Gray suggests people not hesitate to share their good news with others, or on showing enthusiasm when others share good news with them. We all have a role to play in helping good news spread.
1. How did the researchers carry out the study?
A.By studying the attendees’ daily reports.
B.By noticing the attendees’ social meetings.
C.By following the attendees’ interactive behaviors.
D.By changing the attendees’ thoughts about sharing.
2. What does the underlined word “recounting” probably mean in paragraph 4?
A.Hiding. B.Considering. C.Restating. D.Questioning.
3. What can we learn from enthusiastic responses to shared good news?
A.They influence more friends.
B.They show the listener’s mindset.
C.They increase the sharer’s self-acceptance.
D.They make people more connected with others.
4. What is the main finding of the research mentioned in the text?
A.Social meetings are key to close relationships.
B.Sharing good news helps build thankfulness.
C.Enthusiastic listeners have the best friendships.
D.Daily reporting improves one’s happiness.
Passage 5
(25-26高一上·河北·期末)In our daily life, many people tend to shy away from difficulties, choosing the comfort of familiarity over the unknown. However, facing challenges can unlock unexpected growth and opportunities. For me, saying “yes” to new challenges has been a key to self-improvement, even when fear tried to hold me back.
An example lies in my experience with learning the piano. At the age of 12, I was invited to join a school piano recital (独奏会). I had only played simple pieces and had never performed in front of an audience. My hands trembled at the thought of sitting on that stage, but something inside me whispered, “What if I can?” So I took a deep breath and said “yes”.
Practicing was far from easy. The piece I chose had complicated melodies (旋律). There were nights when I wanted to quit, frustrated by my mistakes. But each time I felt like giving up, I reminded myself why I’d said “yes” in the first place: not to be perfect, but to grow. Gradually, the music began to flow. On the day of the recital, though nervous, I played confidently. The applause afterward wasn’t just for the performance — it was for the courage to try.
Looking back, I realize that saying “no” would have kept me in a safe but unchanging and inactive place. By facing the challenge, I gained not only piano skills but also the belief that I could overcome fears. This experience taught me that challenges are not obstacles but stepping stones. They push us beyond our limits and show strengths we never knew we had.
In a world that often encourages staying within our comfort zones, dare to say “yes” to new adventures. Whether it’s learning a new skill, joining a competition, or helping someone in need, each “yes” is a chance to grow. Remember, growth begins at the end of your comfort zone.
1. Why was the author nervous about the piano recital?
A.Her piano teacher was very strict. B.She didn’t like the piece she had to play.
C.She had never performed in public before. D.She forgot the music during practice.
2. What did the author remind herself when she wanted to quit?
A.She needed to be perfect for the recital. B.She said “yes” to grow, not to be perfect.
C.Her family was expecting a great performance. D.The recital was too important to miss.
3. What does the author encourage readers to do?
A.Try to learn some new skills. B.Face new challenges bravely.
C.Take on difficult tasks. D.Help others in trouble.
4. What is the main idea of the text?
A.Facing challenges leads to personal growth. B.Saying “no” to challenges helps us grow.
C.People should face difficulties calmly. D.Playing the piano is easy with enough practice.
Passage 6
(25-26高一上·湖南长沙·阶段检测)How good are you at maths? Some people love the challenge of algebra (代数) or enjoy working out number puzzles. Maths is all around us, from working out how to split the bill after a meal to calculating your household bills. But many people dread the moment when they have to deal with numbers and figures, and feel a real sense of worry and confusion. It can seem depressing, but this “maths anxiety” is perfectly normal, and you’re definitely not alone. And anyway, our worries and fears don’t necessarily show our ability.
Research traces maths anxiety back to school experiences. Nervous teachers may unintentionally pass their fears to students, and girls are particularly vulnerable. Data from 34 countries reveals striking numbers: 31% of teenagers feel nervous about solving problems, 33% stress over homework, and nearly 60% fear difficult classes. Shulamit Kahn, a Boston University expert, argues that positive role models — especially female teachers — are critical to building confidence in young learners.
Writing for BBC Future, David Robson says, “It’s not clear why maths causes so much fear compared to geography. But the fact that there’s only one correct answer — there’s no room for bluffing — might make you more worried about under-performing.” And once we suppose we’re not a “maths person”, we avoid solving things that we probably could do.
Psychologists have been trying to work out why maths can bring us out in a sweat. That seed of fear may come from many sources, but some suggest that expressing your fears can loosen their hold on you and recommend children to see a maths test as a challenge, not a threat. In fact, we need to think positively about maths and give it a second chance.
1. What does the author think of “maths anxiety”?
A.It doesn’t mean poor ability. B.It affects almost everyone from birth.
C.It naturally disappears with age. D.It only troubles school children.
2. What does “there’s no room for bluffing” mean about maths problems?
A.They require creative thinking. B.They can be understood differently.
C.They demand exact answers. D.They include many maths steps.
3. How do psychologists advise reducing maths anxiety?
A.Ignore it and move on to harder problems. B.Adjust exams to lower stress for students.
C.Voice your worries and try again. D.Replace daily maths with puzzle games.
4. What is the best title for the passage?
A.How Do We Learn Maths Effectively? B.Is Maths Worth Learning?
C.Are Boys Better at Maths than Girls? D.Should We Fear Maths?
Passage 7
(25-26高一上·天津·阶段检测)Here is a story: A man sees a butterfly (蝴蝶). The butterfly tries to get out of its chrysalis (蛹). Feeling sorry for it, the man decides to help. He cuts the chrysalis and the butterfly comes out easily. Surprisingly enough, the butterfly is unable to fly. If the butterfly doesn’t struggle (挣扎,奋斗) to leave the chrysalis, it can’t fly! The struggle develops the energy in the butterfly which makes it fly. Similarly, the challenges (挑战) of life bring out the best in young people and make them fly.
When people are young, meeting and overcoming (克服) challenges will make them strong and ready to face life. When we look at successful people, we see that the most successful of them are people who have had to struggle. One famous businessman, who now owns many supermarkets, used to carry clothes on his back and sell them from door to door when he was young. Another successful man is Dennis. His father died when he was only twenty. His father’s death forced him to mature fast. He had to bring up a family of nine people. He took up the challenges and overcame them. Today his brothers and sisters are leading successful lives.
Sometimes challenges do not appear to us because we keep away from them. So some parents and teachers actively encourage young people to face challenges. They might organize some activities for young people which provide them with challenges, like rock-climbing, camping, volunteer work and so on. However, just passing exams will not prepare a person for life. We must meet and overcome challenges. The young people of today will become the leaders of tomorrow. For countries to continue to become successful, it is important that the young people learn to meet challenges and overcome them.
1. Dennis’s example shows that successful people should ________.
A.take up business early
B.sell clothes from door to door
C.overcome the difficulties
D.become the leaders of tomorrow
2. The meaning of the underlined word “mature” in the passage is “________”.
A.take up B.get up C.wake up D.grow up
3. What is the writer trying to do in the passage?
A.Encourage young people to face challenges.
B.Suggest how to become a successful businessman.
C.Explain what will happen if a person fails the exam.
D.Describe where a butterfly comes from.
4. What is the best title for this passage?
A.Successful People Have a Sense of Achievement.
B.Young People Must Develop Their Energy Actively.
C.Countries Should Continue to Become Successful.
D.Challenges of Life Bring Out the Best in Young People.
Passage 8
(24-25高一上·广西崇左·阶段检测)Learning is not confined to the four walls of a classroom. It is a continuous process that happens all around us, in every corner of our lives. From the moment we wake up in the morning to the time we go to bed at night, we are constantly absorbing new information and gaining insights that shape our understanding of the world.
One of the most overlooked places for learning is our own homes. The environment we live in, the people we interact with, and the activities we engage in all contribute to our learning experience. For instance, cooking with our parents can teach us valuable life skills such as time management, patience, and the importance of nutrition. Similarly, engaging in household chores can foster a sense of responsibility and independence.
The workplace is another rich environment for learning. Whether we are students on work placements or professionals in our careers, the workplace provides us with opportunities to apply theoretical knowledge in practical situations, develop communication skills, and learn about teamwork and leadership.
Travel is another great way to broaden our horizons and enhance our learning experience. By visiting new places, meeting new people, and experiencing different cultures, we can gain a deeper understanding of the world and its diversity. Travel not only enriches our knowledge but also helps us develop empathy and respect for others.
Finally, technology has revolutionized the way we learn. The internet provides us with access to a vast amount of information and resources, from academic research to everyday news. Online courses, educational apps, and interactive platforms make learning more accessible and convenient than ever before.
In conclusion, learning takes place everywhere, and it is up to us to seize every opportunity to expand our knowledge and skills. By staying curious and open to new experiences, we can continue to grow and develop as individuals.

Passage 9
(24-25高一上·广东东莞·阶段检测)Ffh. Ffh. Ffh! It was not just the empty nest (鸟巢) of a pewee bird as Amy had found the last five days. Amy ran home through the woods.
“Mum!” she shouted. “I see birds. Two. In cave (洞穴). Beautiful!”
Mum smiled. Birds! Always birds! From the moment Amy woke up in the morning to the moment she closed her eyes at night, she thought only of birds.
Amy climbed straight to her attic room — her museum, she called it. Every shelf, every spare inch of floor, was covered with nests, bird models and natural science books. The walls were covered with pencil and crayon drawings of many different kinds of birds, all signed “Amy in the woods.”
“Are those the same birds who built the nest last year? Will they return to the cave next spring?” Amy always wondered. “I will study my cave birds. I will draw them just as they are.” Amy made up her mind.
In a week, the birds were used to her. They were busy building their nest as Amy watched and drew with her pencils. Soon the dried brown nest became a soft green bed.
Amy watched as two baby birds came out. She watched as the young birds flew for the first time. She began to feel a part of this small family.
When the days grew shorter and the autumn air began to bite, Amy knew the birds would leave soon. But would they come back? She had to know! In bed that night, she formed a plan.
The next day, when the mother and father birds were away from the nest, she tied something to one leg of each baby bird. A week later, the birds were gone. . .
The days grew longer again. One morning. Amy heard a bird call, “Fee-bee! Fee-bee!”
She ran to the cave. Watching the way the birds flew in and out of the cave, Amy knew her friends came back. But where were last year’s babies? Did they return too? She began to search the woods near the cave, listening for their call.
Inside a little house, she found two birds building a nest. One wore a silver ring around its leg. Up the small river, under a bridge, she found two more nesting birds. And one wore a silver ring around its leg. Amy smiled and called, “Fee-bee! Fee-bee!”

Passage 10
(25-26高一上·山东临沂·阶段检测)A challenge is a situation that tests your abilities. It needs hard work and courage to get through. Challenges come from many sources, and knowing where they come from is the first step toward dealing with them well.
The sources of challenges are often two-part: external (外部的) and internal. External challenges come from the world around you. For example, moving to a new school, getting used to new study methods, or facing more competition from classmates. Unexpected things, like sudden exams or group project pressure, can also be external challenges. Internal challenges come from yourself. They might be not having enough skills, not knowing some knowledge, or feeling frightened and unsure about yourself — these things can slow down your progress. Often, the hardest challenges mix both external pressure and internal worries.
Successfully managing challenges requires a step-by-step method. First, look at the situation clearly and honestly. If a challenge feels too big, divide it into small, easy-to-do tasks. For example, instead of being unconfident with a big project, focus on completing the first small research. Secondly, actively look for resources (资源) and support. This could be about learning new knowledge through study, improving skills with practice, or depending on the guidance of teachers and the encouragement of friends. Having people to support you gives not only useful tips but also courage and strength. Finally, build resilience. Setbacks (挫折) are a certain part on the path to any meaningful goal — they might make you feel down. The key is to stand up again, learn from what went wrong, and keep moving toward your goal.
In short, challenges are something you can’t avoid, and they’re necessary for growth. By understanding where they come from, designing a strategic plan, and sticking to it without giving up, you can turn difficulties into chances to become better — both in your studies and personal life.
1. Which can be considered an internal source of challenges?
A.A new living environment. B.Difficult Gaokao questions.
C.Uncertainty about the future. D.The development of AI technology.
2. What should we do firstly when learning to use a video editing app according to the passage?

C.Wait to see if it becomes easier. D.Learn new editing skills with practice.
3. What does the underlined word “resilience” in paragraph 3 mean?
A.The ability to get back up. B.The decision to keep going.
C.The gift for solving problems. D.The knowledge of setting goals.
4. What is the writer’s opinion on challenges?
A.They set back one’s growth. B.They are a must for success.
C.They can be managed wisely. D.They come from inner thoughts.
Passage 11
(25-26高一上·山东菏泽·阶段检测)In order to help change our influence on the environment of the earth, a California-based organisation is searching to build an AI language. It can allow people to deeply understand non-human languages.
Aza Raskin is the co-founder and president of the Earth Species Project (ESP), an organisation that uses a form of AI to translate non-human languages. ESP wants to use its machine learning technology to understand this important information and make it easily known to the public.
Raskin stressed their purpose to help protection by explaining, “The end we are working towards is, we can discover the non-human language, and decode animal communication. Along the way, what is also important is that we are developing technology that supports scientists and protection.” ESP believes that understanding languages can help deepen our relationship with animals and allow us to better protect them.
In the past, understanding the communication of animals heavily depended on a great deal of observation. Whether it is alarm calls or sounds made by dolphins or elephants, scientists have been amazed by the different forms of non-human communication present in these animals. With the development of new technologies, researchers have now begun to understand a great deal of data they can get through machine learning.
Elodie Briefer, a professor at the University of Copenhagen, has recently helped co-develop a pig grunt (呼噜声)analysing algorithm. It can help scientists understand whether the pigs are expressing positive or negative feelings. However, ESP is doing it differently, by focusing on all kinds of animals, not just one. ESP believes it is likely that social animals communicate with each other, for example, whales and dolphins.
Although ESP believes that understanding AI machine learning data is only one step towards full communication, it believes that one day we will be able to understand entire systems of communication.
1. What is Aza Raskin trying to do?
A.Educate the public to take care of animals.
B.Create a new organisation to protect the earth.
C.Help people understand non-human languages.
D.Search for new ways to send information by AI.
2. What does the underlined word “decode” in paragraph 3 mean?
A.Change. B.Understand. C.Admire. D.Explain.
3. How did researchers study animal communication in the past?
A.By developing new machines. B.By making lots of observation.
C.By doing research on computers. D.By comparing different calls of animals.
4. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A.New Technology Is Changing Our Life.
B.Interesting Animals Able to Communicate.
C.A New Way to Understand Animal Languages.
D.Scientists Are Trying to Communicate With Animals.
Passage 12
(25-26高一上·江苏常州·阶段检测)School clubs are more than just extracurricular activities. They are a vital part of school life that can make learning more enjoyable and help students grow.
Academic (学术的) clubs encourage students to participate in learning beyond the classroom. For instance, a math club might hold competitions and group talks that help students think in new ways and understand difficult ideas better. A science club could do fun experiments showing how school lessons work in real life. These activities make learning more interesting and help students remember what they study.
Confidence plays an important role in both academic success and social interactions. Clubs offer a supportive environment where students can discover new passions and get better at things they enjoy. Whether speaking in a debate club, acting in a theatre club, or building robots in a tech club, students get praised for their work, which makes them feel good about themselves. Overcoming challenges in a club setting — such as presenting in front of an audience or leading a group project — helps them become stronger and more confident in all parts of life.
Besides learning skills, clubs help students make friends. When students like the same things, they become friends who can share thoughts, get advice and help each other. Liking the same things creates strong friendships that continue after school. Feeling part of a group is especially helpful during tough school times, giving students support and reasons to keep trying.
Clubs naturally need teamwork, whether planning activities, sharing materials, or working toward group goals. Through these experiences, students learn to work well with others, divide up jobs, and solve problems together. Being a club leader, like president or project helper, teaches students to be reliable, make choices, and encourage their classmates. These lessons prepare students to work well with others and lead with confidence in the future.
School clubs offer endless opportunities for personal development, fun, and friendship. Whether you are already a club member or are thinking about joining one, remember that every club experience is a step toward becoming the best version of yourself.
1. What is the main benefit of joining academic clubs?
A.They focus on group competitions.
B.They offer fun after-school activities.
C.They give students more after-class exercises.
D.They help students learn outside the classroom.
2. How do school clubs help students make friends?
A.By creating a competitive environment.
B.By offering both fun and learning experiences.
C.By creating a space for students to meet different people.
D.By allowing students to meet others with similar interests.
3. What can we infer about club leadership roles?
