At first, I was not interested at all. I thought paper-cutting was something only old people did, and I would rather spend my weekends playing basketball with my friends. One Saturday afternoon, my grandmother sat me down at her old wooden table. She placed a piece of red paper, a pencil, and a pair of scissors（剪刀）in front of me. “Watch carefully,” she said, as her wrinkled hands began to fold the paper into a perfect triangle. Then, without drawing any lines, she started cutting. Within minutes, a beautiful butterfly appeared in her hands. I could hardly believe my eyes. When I tried to do the same, my butterfly looked more like a broken kite. But my grandmother just smiled and said, “Every master was once a beginner.” She taught me that paper-cutting requires patience（耐心）above all else. For the next few months, I practiced almost every weekend. Last month, my grandmother’s birthday arrived. I spent a whole week making a paper-cutting of a flower for her. When she opened my gift, she had tears in her eyes. “Now you truly understand,” she said softly. That was the moment I realized that paper-cutting was not just an art form—it was a way of passing down love and tradition（传统）from one generation to the next. 6. What did the writer think of paper-cutting at first? A. It was for old people only. B. It was very exciting. C. It was easy to learn. D. It was better than sports. 7. What did Grandmother make first during the lesson? A. A flower. B. A butterfly. C. A bird. D. A fish. 8. What did Grandmother say when the writer failed? A. You should give up now. B. Paper-cutting is too hard. C. Why don’t you try cooking? D. Every master was once a beginner. 9. What did the writer make for Grandmother’s birthday? A. A paper butterfly. B. A birthday card. C. A paper flower. D. A red dress. 10. What did the writer finally understand about paper-cutting? A. It passes down love and tradition. B. It is a way to make money. C. It is better than schoolwork. D. It can be done by machine. 【答案】6. A 7. B 8. D 9. C 10.

He is completely blind, yet he is one of the most cheerful people I know. Every morning at seven, I hear him playing the erhu from his window. The music is always soft and warm, like a gentle breeze on a summer day. Last winter, my school organized a community service project. Each student was asked to help a neighbor in need. I immediately（立即） thought of Mr. Chen. At first, I simply offered to do his grocery shopping. He thanked me warmly but also asked, “Would you like to learn to play the erhu?” I was surprised. I had never thought about learning a musical instrument before. So every Sunday afternoon, I went to his apartment. He taught me how to hold the bow and press the strings. His teaching method was unusual—he could not see me, so he would listen carefully and tell me exactly where my fingers should go just by the sound I made. “Music is not about seeing,” he often said, “it is about feeling.” By the end of the project, I could play a simple folk song. But more importantly, I learned something much bigger: a physical limitation does not define a person. Mr. Chen might not see the world with his eyes, but he sees it clearly with his heart. Every time I hear the erhu now, I think of his kindness and wisdom（智慧）. 11. What instrument does Mr. Chen play? A. The piano. B. The guitar. C. The violin. D. The erhu. 12.

A limitation does not define a person. D. The erhu is the best instrument. 【答案】11. D 12. B 13. C 14. A 15.

Scientists have found that regular reading brings many surprising benefits to both the mind and the body. First, reading improves brain connections. A study by Emory University showed that when people read a novel, the connections in their brains increased, especially in areas related to language and understanding others. These changes lasted for several days after finishing the book. In other words, reading is like a workout for your brain—it makes your mind stronger and more flexible（灵活的）. Second, reading helps reduce stress. Research has found that just six minutes of reading can lower stress levels by up to 68 percent. This is because reading takes your mind away from daily worries and brings you into a different world. It works even better than listening to music or going for a walk. Third, reading before bed can improve sleep quality. Unlike phone screens, which give off blue light that keeps the brain awake, a printed book has no such effect. Reading a few pages of a real book helps the body relax and prepares it for a good night’s sleep. However, experts suggest avoiding exciting or scary stories right before bed, as they may have the opposite effect. So next time you have a few free minutes, pick up a book. You will be doing your brain a big favor. 16. What is the passage mainly about? A. How to write a book. B. The history of novels. C. Benefits of reading. D. Famous brain scientists. 17. What did the Emory University study find? A. Reading makes people sleepy. B. Reading increases brain connections. C. Reading hurts the eyes. D. Reading slows down thinking. 18. How much can reading reduce stress according to research? A. About 20 percent. B. Less than 10 percent. C. More than 90 percent. D. Up to 68 percent. 19. Why is reading a printed book better than a phone before sleep? A. It has no blue light. B. It is lighter to hold. C. It is cheaper. D. It takes less time. 20. What do experts suggest about bedtime reading? A. Read as fast as possible. B. Avoid scary stories. C. Use only e-books. D. Read for at least two hours. 【答案】16. C 17. B 18. D 19. A 20. B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了阅读对大脑的三大好处。 【详解】 16. 句意：本文主要讲什么？考查主旨。首段写道“regular reading brings many surprising benefits”（常规阅读带来许多惊人的好处）。Benefits of reading.（阅读的好处）正确；How to write a book.（如何写书）、The history of novels.（小说历史）和Famous brain scientists.（著名脑科学家）与主题无关。故选C。 17. 句意：埃默里大学的研究发现了什么？考查细节。第二段写道“the connections in their brains increased”（大脑连接增加了）。Reading increases brain connections.（阅读增加大脑连接）正确；Reading makes people sleepy.（让人困）、Reading hurts the eyes.（伤害眼睛）和Reading slows down thinking.（减慢思维）与研究相反。故选B。 18. 句意：研究表明阅读能减少多少压力？考查细节。第三段写道“lower stress levels by up to 68 percent”（压力降低高达68%）。Up to 68 percent.（高达68%）正确；About 20 percent.（约20%）、Less than 10 percent.（不到10%）和More than 90 percent.（超90%）与数据不符。故选D。 19. 句意：为什么睡前看纸质书比看手机好？考查因果。第四段写道“phone screens, which give off blue light…a printed book has no such effect”（手机屏幕发出蓝光，纸质书没有这种影响）。It has no blue light.（没有蓝光）正确；It is lighter to hold.（更轻）、It is cheaper.（更便宜）和It takes less time.（更省时间）原文未提。故选A。 20. 句意：专家对睡前阅读有什么建议？考查细节。第四段末写道“experts suggest avoiding exciting or scary stories right before bed”（专家建议睡前避免刺激或恐怖的故事）。Avoid scary stories.（避免恐怖故事）正确；Read as fast as possible.（尽快读）、Use only e-books.（只用电子书）和Read for at least two hours.（至少读两小时）均非专家建议。故选B。 Passage E（书信/观点文） Dear Editor, I am writing to express my concern about the growing use of plastic bags in our city. Every day, I see shoppers leaving supermarkets with ten or more plastic bags in their hands. Most of these bags are used only once and then thrown away. This is not just a waste of resources—it is causing serious harm to our environment. Last month, our school organized a clean-up activity along the river near the city center. In just two hours, we collected over 300 plastic bags stuck in the trees and bushes along the riverbank. Some of them had been there for so long that they were almost falling apart into tiny pieces. These tiny pieces, often called microplastics（微塑料）, are especially dangerous because they can enter the water and be eaten by fish, which may finally end up on our dinner tables. I believe every citizen can help solve this problem. First, we should bring our own reusable bags when we go shopping. Second, shops and supermarkets should be encouraged to offer paper bags or cloth bags instead of free plastic ones. Some cities in China have already banned free plastic bags in large stores, and the results have been very positive. Small actions, when taken by many people, can create big changes. Let us all do our part to reduce plastic waste and protect the beautiful environment that we all share. Yours truly, Li Xiaowen, a Grade 11 student 21. What is the writer’s main concern? A. The rising price of food. B. The lack of supermarkets. C. The growing use of plastic bags. D. The poor quality of cloth bags. 22. How many plastic bags were collected during the clean-up? A. About 100. B. Less than 50. C. More than 1,000. D. Over 300. 23. Why are microplastics especially dangerous? A. They are too heavy to move. B. They can enter the food chain. C. They cost more to produce. D. They look very ugly. 24. What is the writer’s first suggestion? A. Bring reusable bags when shopping. B. Stop buying things from stores. C. Throw away all plastic items. D. Write more letters to the editor. 25. What does the writer believe about small actions? A. They are not important. B. They can create big changes. C. They only work in large cities. D. They cost too much money. 【答案】21. C 22. D 23. B 24. A 25. B 【导语】这是一封致编辑的信，作者关注塑料袋污染问题并提出建议。 【详解】 21. 句意：作者主要关心什么？考查主旨。首句写道“I am writing to express my concern about the growing use of plastic bags”（塑料袋使用增加）。The growing use of plastic bags.（塑料袋使用增加）正确；The rising price of food.（食品涨价）、The lack of supermarkets.（超市缺乏）和The poor quality of cloth bags.（布袋质量差）与信件无关。故选C。 22. 句意：清洁活动中收集了多少塑料袋？考查细节。第二段写道“we collected over 300 plastic bags”（收集了超过300个塑料袋）。Over 300.（超过300个）正确；About 100.（约100个）、Less than 50.（少于50个）和More than 1,000.（超过1000个）与数据不符。故选D。 23. 句意：为什么微塑料特别危险？考查因果。第二段写道“they can enter the water and be eaten by fish, which may finally end up on our dinner tables”（进入水体被鱼吃掉，最终可能上到餐桌）。They can enter the food chain.（进入食物链）正确；They are too heavy to move.（太重搬不动）、They cost more to produce.（生产成本高）和They look very ugly.（看起来丑）与原文不符。故选B。 24. 句意：作者的第一个建议是什么？考查细节。第三段写道“First, we should bring our own reusable bags when we go shopping”（首先，购物时带自己的重复使用袋）。Bring reusable bags when shopping.（带重复使用袋）正确；Stop buying things from stores.（停止购物）、Throw away all plastic items.（扔掉所有塑料）和Write more letters to the editor.（多写信）与建议不符。故选A。 25. 句意：作者对小行动的看法是什么？考查作者观点。末段写道“Small actions, when taken by many people, can create big changes”（小行动，当许多人都做时，能创造大变化）。They can create big changes.（能创造大变化）正确；They are not important.（不重要）、They only work in large cities.（只在大城市有效）和They cost too much money.（花太多钱）与作者观点相反。故选B。 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 编写说明：本卷依据最新版《湖北省普通高等学校招收中等职业学校毕业生技能高考文化综合考试大纲（英语）》编写。本系列定位为45分钟训练卷，用于课堂限时训练、周测检测和阶段复习。本卷为综合文体阅读专项训练，涵盖应用文、记叙文、说明文和书信等多种文体，旨在提升多文体识别能力和阅读综合素养。 【2027版】湖北省（技能高考）《英语45分钟训练卷》 第10卷　阅读理解（综合文体） 考试时间：45分钟 满分：100分 班级______姓名______学号______成绩______ Passage A（应用文） Summer Volunteer Program at Sunshine Community Library Are you looking for a meaningful way to spend your summer holiday?

Passage E（书信/观点文） Dear Editor, I am writing to express my concern about the growing use of plastic bags in our city. Every day, I see shoppers leaving supermarkets with ten or more plastic bags in their hands. Most of these bags are used only once and then thrown away. This is not just a waste of resources—it is causing serious harm to our environment. Last month, our school organized a clean-up activity along the river near the city center. In just two hours, we collected over 300 plastic bags stuck in the trees and bushes along the riverbank. Some of them had been there for so long that they were almost falling apart into tiny pieces. These tiny pieces, often called microplastics（微塑料）, are especially dangerous because they can enter the water and be eaten by fish, which may finally end up on our dinner tables. I believe every citizen can help solve this problem. First, we should bring our own reusable bags when we go shopping. Second, shops and supermarkets should be encouraged to offer paper bags or cloth bags instead of free plastic ones. Some cities in China have already banned free plastic bags in large stores, and the results have been very positive. Small actions, when taken by many people, can create big changes. Let us all do our part to reduce plastic waste and protect the beautiful environment that we all share. Yours truly, Li Xiaowen, a Grade 11 student 21. What is the writer’s main concern? A.
