A
(25-26高一上·浙江S9联盟·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.

(25-26高一上·济南一中·期中) Since ancient times, food has been a base for cultures worldwide. It is important for our survival, which is why attention on food is a universal rule that connects us all. To feed our hungry brains, our ancestors invented fire and cooking, which passed digestion to culture.
In fact, a culture’s food vocabulary is a window into its values and priorities. The cultural psychologist Paul Rozin has found that when French and American research participants are asked what comes to mind when thinking of fried eggs, the French say “breakfast” while Americans say “cholesterol (胆固醇) ”. The French think of the cooking experience; Americans think of what is entering the bloodstream.
Sometimes, slurping (出声地吃) noodles is seen as the preferred way to interact with the delicious dish. There is a great scene in Juzo Itami’s film, Tampopo (1985) where a group of women in a hotel are being taught table manners and told to eat their Italian pasta noodles slowly and quietly. Another diner sitting nearby happily is slurping his noodles and the joy he gets from audibly (声音地) and physically interacting with his food is infectious. Before they know it, even the teacher is also slurping her noodles.
Besides, specific dishes never represent an unchanging tradition. “My grandma’s Egg Foo Young looks and tastes completely different from what you might find in a restaurant or in somebody else’s home. After asking about her version, I realized that she learned how to make it by picking up different cooking styles as she traveled from Jiangxi, Macao, and Hong Kong,” said Shirley Ting, a Canadian researcher.
If we treat culture as a defined thing, then we can see food as an important part of culture — food practices and traditions help communicate cultural values, reproduce those values over time and across generations, and help improve a group’s sense of having a distinct identity, different from other groups.
5. What may we learn from Paul Rozin’s research on food?
A. Food vocabulary increases with cultural exchanges.
B. People have the same food-related health concerns.
C. Different cultures prioritize different aspects of food.
D. Americans and the French have similar cooking methods.
6. Why does the author mention the scene in Tampopo?
A. To highlight different food preferences.
B. To stress the appeal of pleasurable dining.
C. To criticize rude manners in public places.
D. To compare dining habits in films and daily life.
7. Which function of food is referred to in the last paragraph?
A. Passing down traditional cooking techniques.
B. Encouraging cultural appreciation globally.
C. Presenting cultural gaps and differences.
D. Strengthening cultural values and uniqueness.
8. What does the text mainly talk about?
A. Diet can impact health. B. Food is a bridge to culture.
C. Noodles can be a cultural symbol. D. Global views are different about food trends.
C
(25-26高一上·湖南师大附中·期中)I can well remember the pain. My stomach was sick, my heart hurt, and my eyes painful from holding back tears.
“ You know, Annie,” my friend John said,“ Joanna and Andrea were just talking about you.” I immediately got nervous.“ They said that the only reason you start on the basketball team is because the coach likes you. It's not because you' re good.” I thought I might be sick.“ They said they' re tired of you always getting what you want.” I struggled to keep myself from crying, sinking to my knees on the cold floor. After John told me everything my supposed best friends said about me, I was hurt.
Joanna and Andrea came in from lunch break acting as if nothing had happened. Joanna was still my deskmate, and Andrea was still my partner for our history project. I was amazed at their ability to pretend we had perfect friendship, especially since they'd said such hurtful things.
I was a freshman in high school, and I felt like I didn't have a friend in the world, all because of Gossip—— informal talk or stories about other people's private lives, perhaps unkind or not true.
The tongue can be our worst enemy. Gossip harms confidence and separates close friends. It's like a sharp knife, cutting one's self-respect into pieces. When we say unkind things about others, we' re sticking knives into their hearts.
So how was I to act next? When Joanna and Andrea pretended our friendship hadn't changed, I thought of attacking them back. But instead, I told them directly that they had hurt me. Joanna started crying and Andrea was speechless. I knew they were both sorry for what they had said. They apologized, and I forgave them. Sure, things were a little uncomfortable at first, but soon enough everything was back to the way it had been before.
I still deal with gossip, sometimes as a receiver and sometimes as a sharer. But the more I learn about love, the more I realize the importance of encouraging others— something gossip never does.
9. What can we conclude from the second paragraph?
A. Joanna and Andrea were grateful that the writer was their friend.
B. Joanna and Andrea made fun of the writer's basketball performances.
C. Joanna and Andrea were unhappy about the writer being on the team.
D. Joanna and Andrea did not think the writer was the coach's favourite.
10. How did the writer respond to her friends' comments about her?
A. She decided to fight back immediately.
B. She told them frankly how she felt.
C. She found it awkward to speak to them.
D. She pretended that nothing had happened.
11. What is the writer's reaction to gossip?
A. Positive. B. Negative. C. Unconcerned. D. Unclear.
12. What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. Gossip is definitely a sticking knife into people's hearts.
B. We have to be patient when people gossip about our friends.
C. We can't escape the world with gossip, but love offers a guiding hand.
D. We should be careful around our friends since they may cheat us sometimes.
三、阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
If you asked 10 different people their understandings of success, you would probably get 10 different answers. 1 Some consider spiritual and emotional achievement as success. Others view it as having wealth, achieving happiness, or positively impacting others. While the definition of success is subjective, these practical success tips can help you achieve your goals.
Create your picture of success.
2 Charting success on your own terms requires self-awareness and strategic planning. Once you know what success means to you, you can focus your time and energy on making it a reality.
3
Another key to success in life is learning how to set goals and reach them. Using specific criteria to set SMART goals can help you hold yourself accountable. SMART stands for specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound. To achieve these goals, we need to take action. By taking small actions, you build healthy habits that make your long-term goals more achievable.
Develop self-discipline.
Self-discipline is the ability to continue moving toward your goals, even when you might not feel like it. It helps you set and achieve long-term goals without getting distracted along the way. One example of self-discipline might be waking up early every morning to go to the gym, even when you feel tired. 4
Learn to adapt to change.
Adaptability is key to achieving success in life and at work. 5 With generative AI and other technologies reshaping the world, employers increasingly look for people who can cope with different working conditions. In a world where change is the only constant, adaptability can be your best friend.
A. Always believe in yourself.
B. Learn to set and achieve goals.
C. Think about what you see as success.
D. That’s because everyone describes success differently.
E. Success is not a destination but a continuous journey of growth.
F. Another is saving money for a house by reducing daily spending.
G. It allows you to accept change even in the face of unexpected events.

细节理解题。根据第二段中“The cultural psychologist Paul Rozin has found that when French and American research participants are asked what comes to mind when thinking of fried eggs, the French say “breakfast” while Americans say “cholesterol (胆固醇) ”. The French think of the cooking experience; Americans think of what is entering the bloodstream.( 文化心理学家保罗·罗津(Paul Rozin)发现,当法国和美国的研究参与者被问及想到煎蛋时脑海中浮现的是什么时,法国人说是“早餐”,而美国人说是“胆固醇”。法国人想到的是烹饪体验;美国人考虑的是进入血液的是什么)”可知,法国人想到的是烹饪体验,而美国人想到的是食物进入血液后对健康的影响。这表明不同文化对食物的关注点不同,即不同文化在食物的不同方面有优先考虑的点。故选C项。

C
(25-26高一上·湖南师大附中·期中)I can well remember the pain. My stomach was sick, my heart hurt, and my eyes painful from holding back tears.
“ You know, Annie,” my friend John said,“ Joanna and Andrea were just talking about you.” I immediately got nervous.“ They said that the only reason you start on the basketball team is because the coach likes you. It's not because you' re good.” I thought I might be sick.“ They said they' re tired of you always getting what you want.” I struggled to keep myself from crying, sinking to my knees on the cold floor. After John told me everything my supposed best friends said about me, I was hurt.
Joanna and Andrea came in from lunch break acting as if nothing had happened. Joanna was still my deskmate, and Andrea was still my partner for our history project. I was amazed at their ability to pretend we had perfect friendship, especially since they'd said such hurtful things.
I was a freshman in high school, and I felt like I didn't have a friend in the world, all because of Gossip—— informal talk or stories about other people's private lives, perhaps unkind or not true.
The tongue can be our worst enemy. Gossip harms confidence and separates close friends. It's like a sharp knife, cutting one's self-respect into pieces. When we say unkind things about others, we' re sticking knives into their hearts.
So how was I to act next? When Joanna and Andrea pretended our friendship hadn't changed, I thought of attacking them back. But instead, I told them directly that they had hurt me. Joanna started crying and Andrea was speechless. I knew they were both sorry for what they had said. They apologized, and I forgave them. Sure, things were a little uncomfortable at first, but soon enough everything was back to the way it had been before.
I still deal with gossip, sometimes as a receiver and sometimes as a sharer. But the more I learn about love, the more I realize the importance of encouraging others— something gossip never does.

B. Joanna and Andrea made fun of the writer's basketball performances.

10. How did the writer respond to her friends' comments about her?

B. She told them frankly how she felt.
C. She found it awkward to speak to them.
D. She pretended that nothing had happened.
11. What is the writer's reaction to gossip?
A. Positive. B. Negative. C. Unconcerned. D. Unclear.
12. What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. Gossip is definitely a sticking knife into people's hearts.
B. We have to be patient when people gossip about our friends.
C. We can't escape the world with gossip, but love offers a guiding hand.
D. We should be careful around our friends since they may cheat us sometimes.

【1题详解】
前文“If you asked 10 different people their understandings of success, you would probably get 10 different answers.(如果你询问 10 个人对于成功的理解,你可能会得到 10 种不同的答案。)”说问 10 个人对成功的理解会得到 10 个答案,后文分述不同人对成功的定义(精神成就、财富、影响他人等)。D 项“That’s because everyone describes success differently. (这是因为每个人对成功的描述都不同。)”完美衔接“答案不同”的现象和后文的具体分述,表原因解释,逻辑连贯。故选D项。

【3题详解】
本空为小标题,后文“Another key to success in life is learning how to set goals and reach them. Using specific criteria to set SMART goals can help you hold yourself accountable. SMART stands for specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound. To achieve these goals, we need to take action. (人生成功的另一个关键在于学会如何设定目标并实现它们。使用具体的标准来设定明确的目标可以帮助你对自己负责。SMART 指的是具体、可衡量、可实现、相关且有时限。为了实现这些目标,我们需要采取行动。)”核心内容是“学会设定并实现目标是成功的关键,介绍 SMART 目标设定法,以及通过行动实现目标”。B 项“Learn to set and achieve goals.(学会设定并实现目标。)”,精准概括本段主旨,是后文所有内容的核心主题。故选B项。

【5题详解】
本段小标题为“Learn to adapt to change(学会适应变化)”,前文“Adaptability is key to achieving success in life and at work. (适应能力是人生和工作中取得成功的关键。)”说适应性是成功的关键,后文“With generative AI and other technologies reshaping the world, employers increasingly look for people who can cope with different working conditions.(随着生成式人工智能和其他技术重塑世界,雇主越来越倾向于寻找能够适应不同工作条件的人。)”讲科技变革下雇主更看重适应能力,变化是常态。G项“It allows you to accept change even in the face of unexpected events.(它能让你即使面对意外也能接受变化。)”,其中It指代前文的Adaptability,且紧扣“适应变化”的主旨,衔接前后文对适应性重要性的论述。故选G项。
