Chen showed athletic talent from childhood and trained in high jump and long jump in his school years. After graduating from college, he began working as a bank clerk. But his passion for dunk never died away. So in his spare time, he’d go to a nearby court for dunk practice. The turning point of his life came in 2011 at an amateur dunk contest, where Cha Tianyi, founder of China’s dunk team told him, “With your bounce and explosiveness, you don’t belong behind a bank counter.” Cha’s encouragement and guidance set him on the path to becoming a professional dunker. To improve his dunking skills, Chen collected highlight videos of top dunkers from around the world and studied them carefully. Erom the pace of the approach steps to the power of the takeoff, he analyzed every detail with precision — leaving no movement unexplored. He spent about four hours in training every day — two hours of strength training and two hours of dunk practice. Even when he was out attending other events, he carried a basketball and practiced. Now Chen has founded a dunk park which has quickly attracted many visitors who are eager to learn from him or simply witness his high-flying skills firsthand. “I will pass on my training methods and competition experience, so that the younger athletes can progress faster. My goal is to make more promising dunkers and help them step onto the international stage,” Chen said. 1.What is the first paragraph mainly about? A. Chen’s great achievement. B. The rules of the dunk contest. C. Chen’s physical appearance. D. The history of the dunk contest. 2.What does Chen’s career shift show? A. Risk-taking guarantees success. B. Opportunities favor prepared mind. C. Actions speak louder than words. D. Natural talent outweighs hard work. 3.Which of the following best describes Chen in his professional training? A. Generous and sincere. B. Focused and devoted. C. Determined and brave. D. Patient and ambitious. 4.Why did Chen set up a dunk park? A. To select coaches. B. To attract visitors. C. To support dunkers. D. To meet followers. 【答案】1. A　2. B　3. B　4. C 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述39岁的陈登星成为中国首位获世界最大街球赛事扣篮大赛冠军的运动员，及他的成长与传承故事。 (1)题解析： 主旨大意题。根据第一段中的“Speeding up and flying over a car while switching hands with a between-the-legs movement to throw the ball home, Chen Dengxing, aged 39 and standing 1.76 meters, made history by becoming the first athlete from China to win the dunk (扣篮) contest of the world’s biggest streetball competition in 2025.(39岁、身高1.76米的陈登星加速飞越一辆汽车，同时双手在腿间切换将球扣进篮筐，他创造了历史，成为2025年世界最大街球赛事扣篮大赛中首位夺冠的中国运动员。)”可知，该段核心是介绍陈登星取得的重大成就。故选A项。 (2)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“ Chen showed athletic talent from childhood and trained in high jump and long jump in his school years. After graduating from college, he began working as a bank clerk. But his passion for dunk never died away. So in his spare time, he’d go to a nearby court for dunk practice.(陈登星从小就展现出运动天赋，上学期间曾练习跳高和跳远。大学毕业后，他开始担任银行职员。但他对扣篮的热情从未消退，因此在业余时间，他会去附近的球场练习扣篮。)”以及第三段中Cha Tianyi的鼓励让他走上职业扣篮道路可知，陈登星始终保持对扣篮的热爱与练习，做好了准备，才抓住了机会实现职业转型，体现“机会垂青有准备的人”。故选B项。 (3)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“ To improve his dunking skills, Chen collected highlight videos of top dunkers from around the world and studied them carefully.

Each of her objects had its place, but mine always hid somewhere. She even labeled (贴标签) everything. I always looked for everything. Over time, Kate got neater and I got messier. She would push my dirty clothing over, and I would lay my books on her tidy desk. We both got tired of each other. War broke out one evening. Kate came into the room. Soon, I heard her screaming, “Take your shoes away! Why under my bed!” Deafened, I saw my shoes flying at me. I jumped to my feet and started yelling. She yelled back louder. The room was filled with anger. We could not have stayed together for a single minute but for a phone call. Kate answered it. From her end of the conversation, I could tell right away her grandma was seriously ill. When she hung up, she quickly crawled (爬) under her covers, sobbing. Obviously, that was something she should not go through alone. All of a sudden, a warm feeling of sympathy rose up in my heart. Slowly, I collected the pencils, took back the books, made my bed, cleaned the socks and swept the floor, even on her side. I got so into my work that I even didn’t notice Kate had sat up. She was watching, her tears dried and her expression one of disbelief. Then, she reached out her hands to grasp mine. I looked up into her eyes. She smiled at me, “Thanks. ” Kate and I stayed roommates for the rest of the year. We didn’t always agree, but we learned the key to living together: giving in, cleaning up and holding on. 1.What made Kate angry one evening? A. She couldn’t find her books. B. She heard the author shouting loud. C. She got the news that her grandma was ill. D. She saw the author’s shoes under her bed. 2.The author tidied up the room most probably because _________.

By analyzing causes. B. By showing differences. C. By describing a process. D. By following time order. 4.What might be the best title for the story? A. My Friend Kate. B. Hard Work Pays Off. C. How to Be Organized. D. Learning to Be Roommates. 【答案】1. D　2. C　3. B　4. D 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者与室友生活习惯不同引发冲突，最终学会相处之道的故事。 (1)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Kate came into the room. Soon, I heard her screaming, “Take your shoes away! Why under my bed!”(凯特走进房间。很快，我听到她尖叫道：“把你的鞋子拿走！为什么在我床底下！”)”可知，凯特生气是因为看到作者的鞋子放在了她的床底下。故选D。 (2)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第三段中“From her end of the conversation, I could tell right away her grandma was seriously ill. When she hung up, she quickly crawled (爬) under her covers, sobbing. Obviously, that was. something she should not go through alone. All of a sudden, a warm feeling of sympathy rose up in my heart.(从她谈话的语气中，我立刻知道她奶奶病得很重。挂断电话后，她迅速爬到被子下面，抽泣着。显然，这是她不应该独自经历的事情。突然，一股温暖的同情之情在我心中油然而生。)”以及第四段中“Slowly, I collected the pencils, took back the books, made my bed, cleaned the socks and swept the floor, even on her side.(慢慢地，我收拾好铅笔，把书拿回来，整理好床铺，清洗袜子，扫地，甚至扫到她那边。)”可推知，作者整理房间很可能是因为想表达对凯特的关心。故选C。 (3)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第一段中“I was never very neat, while my roommate Kate was extremely organized. Each of her objects had its place, but mine always hid somewhere. She even labeled (贴标签) everything. I always, looked for everything. Over time, Kate got neater and I got messier.(我从来都不是很整洁，而我的室友凯特却非常有条理。她的每样东西都有它的位置，但我的总是藏在某个地方。她甚至给每样东西都贴上了标签。我总是寻找一切。随着时间的推移，凯特变得越来越整洁，而我却越来越邋遢。)”可知，第一段主要通过对比作者和凯特的不同来展开的。故选B。 (4)题解析： 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是根据最后一段“Kate and I stayed roommates for the rest of the year. We didn’t always agree, but we learned the key to living together: giving in, cleaning up and holding on.(凯特和我在这一年剩下的时间里一直是室友。我们并不总是意见一致，但我们学会了生活在一起的关键：让步、清理和坚持。)”可知，文章主要讲述了作者与室友生活习惯不同引发冲突，最终学会相处之道的故事。可知，D选项“Learning to Be Roommates(学会成为室友)”最符合文章标题。故选D。 Passage 2 （25-26高一上·湖北襄阳第四中学·期中）Bike Batman is a 30-year-old married engineer who lives in Seattle, Washington. He’s a cyclist who also buys and sells bikes as a hobby. About three years ago, he was looking for a bike for his wife. He found one on Craigslist, a website where people list things they want to sell. As he often did, he also looked at Bike Index, a popular website that allows users to register their bikes and post reports when they’re taken. The bike, which he was considering purchasing, clearly matched one reported stolen on Bike Index. Then he called the person who claimed (声称) to be the bike’s owner and arranged to meet him — supposedly to complete the sale. When the two men met, Batman told the thief, “You’ve got two options. You can wait until a police officer gets here, or you can just get out of here.” You can imagine what the thief did. After that first success, Bike Batman developed a safer routine. When he sees questionable bike ads on Craigslist, he cross-references the image with bikes reported on Bike Index. Once he has checked and confirmed (确认) it with the owner, he arranges a meet-up with the thief and will call the Seattle police department so that officers can participate in the action. In more than half of the 22 cases in which he has got back and returned bikes, the thieves have been arrested (逮捕). In one case, Bike Batman even helped a family recover a wide range of prized possessions that suspects (嫌疑犯) had stolen during a home burglary (入室盗窃). His nickname came from a discussion with a police officer who suggested he be called “Robin Hood”. Since he wasn’t exactly stealing from the rich and giving to the poor, “Batman” seemed a better fit. The idea of a superhero punishing criminals (罪犯) feels pretty silly to him, but the main reason he continues his work is to keep up Seattle’s fame as a friendly city. 1.What will Bike Batman first do when discovering a questionable bike? A. He’ll contact the real bike owner. B. He’ll arrange to meet the thief. C. He’ll call the police department. D. He’ll look up the bike’s information. 2.What does the underlined word “cross-reference” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Compare. B. Post. C. Provide. D. Beautify. 3.Bike Batman helps find the lost bikes to __________. A. become famous B. help poor people C. punish bike thieves D. build a harmonious city 4.What can we learn from the passage? A. The police failed to perform their duties. B. He found it silly to see the thieves arrested. C. Bike Batman began his good actions by accident. D. The thieves were usually unwilling to return the bikes. 【答案】1. D　2. A　3. D　4. C 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了“自行车蝙蝠侠”通过帮助找回被盗自行车打击犯罪，维护西雅图友好城市形象的故事。 (1)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第三段中“When he sees questionable bike ads on Craigslist, he cross-references the image with bikes reported on Bike Index.(当他在Craigslist上看到可疑的自行车广告时，他会将图片与Bike Index上报告的自行车进行交叉比对。)”可知，当发现可疑的自行车时，“自行车蝙蝠侠”首先会查找自行车的信息。故选D。 (2)题解析： 词句猜测题。根据第三段中“When he sees questionable bike ads on Craigslist, he cross-references the image with bikes reported on Bike Index. Once he has checked and confirmed (确认) it with the owner, he arranges a meet-up with the thief and will call the Seattle police department so that officers can participate in the action.(当他在Craigslist上看到可疑的自行车广告时，他会将图片与Bike Index上报告的自行车进行cross-reference。一旦他与车主核实并确认后，他会安排与小偷见面，并会打电话给西雅图警察局，以便警察能够参与行动。)”可知，当他在Craigslist上看到可疑的自行车广告时，他会将图片与Bike Index上报告的自行车进行比对，cross-reference在此处的意思是“比对，对照”，与Compare意思相近。故选A。 (3)题解析： 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“The idea of a superhero punishing criminals (罪犯) feels pretty silly to him, but the main reason he continues his work is to keep up Seattle’s fame as a friendly city.(一个超级英雄惩罚罪犯的想法对他来说相当愚蠢，但他继续工作的主要原因是为了保持西雅图作为一个友好城市的声誉。)”可知，“自行车蝙蝠侠”帮助寻找丢失的自行车是为了建设一个和谐的城市。故选D。 (4)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第二段“About three years ago, he was looking for a bike for his wife. He found one on Craigslist, a website where people list things they want to sell. As he often did, he also looked at Bike Index, a popular website that allows users to register their bikes and post reports when they’re taken.

You can wait until a police officer gets here, or you can just get out of here.” You can imagine what the thief did.(大约三年前，他在为妻子找自行车。他在Craigslist上找到了一辆，这是一个人们列出他们想卖的东西的网站。像他经常做的那样，他还查看了Bike Index，这是一个受欢迎的网站，允许用户注册他们的自行车，并在自行车被盗时发布报告。他考虑购买的这辆自行车显然与Bike Index上报告被盗的一辆相匹配。然后他打电话给那个声称是自行车主人的人，并安排与他见面——据说是为了完成交易。当两个人见面时，蝙蝠侠告诉小偷：“你有两个选择。你可以等警察来，或者你可以离开这里。”你可以想象小偷做了什么。)”可知，“自行车蝙蝠侠”最初的善举是偶然开始的。故选C。 Passage 3 （25-26高一上·河北唐山开滦第一中学·期中）My good friend, George, was influenced by his parents, who are some of the best examples of giving, whether they get paid or not. When I was a little child, I joined George and his mom in going to Erin’s house, bringing food and daily supplies with us. Obviously, Erin’s family faced economic trouble and could hardly afford food. George and I took several bags of things to the door, rang the bell and ran off. Erin still doesn’t know to this day who did that. Since then, I’ve always given whatever I could afford to help the people in need. You never knew what my act would lead the people in need to do. A few years ago, I came across a homeless man begging for money to get bread at a bus stop. I could have ignored him, but I felt sorry for him and pulled out my wallet. I only had $ 20 in my hand. I was just a college student. However, I handed him the money, and he promised me that he’d find a job to make a living. When I got on the bus, he smiled at me and said,“I’ll remember you forever!”I also smiled. It totally made my day, and I would also never forget his face. Later, I lent my phone to one boy to call his family and managed to help his worried mother find a job online. Though an act of kindness toward anyone can seem like no big deal to me and cost me nearly nothing, I believe in the effects it can have on other people. Hopefully, they still have faith in humanity. It’s the kind of interaction that is more valuable than money. Since doing good is within our power, let’s help out more. 1.What made the author start helping others? A. The request from Erin. B. The request from George’s parents. C. His childhood experience of doing good with George. D. His past experience of giving money to the homeless. 2.How does the author develop paragraph 3? A. By giving reasons. B. By giving examples. C. By making suggestions. D. By making comparisons. 3.What is the author’s purpose in writing the last paragraph? A. To call on people to do good. B. To explain doing good costs nothing. C. To advise people to remember others’ help. D. To show interaction is as valuable as money. 4.What is the best title for the text? A. Give to Get Paid B. Try to Make My Day C. A Big Deal with the Honest D. The Power of Kindness 【答案】1. C　2. B　3. A　4. D 【解析】【导语】 本文为一篇记叙文，讲述了作者受到朋友George及其父母的影响，从小开始帮助他人，并在长大后继续行善。 (1)题解析： 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“When I was a little child, I joined George and his mom in going to Erin’s house, bringing food and daily supplies with us.(当我还是个小孩子的时候，我带着食物和日常用品和乔治和他妈妈一起去艾琳家)”及“George and I took several bags of things to the door, rang the bell and ran off.(乔治和我拿了几袋东西到门口，按了门铃就跑了)”和“Since then, I’ve always given whatever I could afford to help the people in need.(从那以后，我一直尽我所能帮助那些需要帮助的人)”可知，作者从小和George及其父母一起去帮助Erin一家人，这段经历让作者开始帮助他人。故选C。 (2)题解析： 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“A few years ago, I came across a homeless man begging for money to get bread at a bus stop. I could have ignored him, but I felt sorry for him and pulled out my wallet. I only had $ 20 in my hand. I was just a college student. However, I handed him the money, and he promised me that he’d find a job to make a living. When I got on the bus, he smiled at me and said,“I’ll remember you forever!”I also smiled. It totally made my day, and I would also never forget his face. Later, I lent my phone to one boy to call his family and managed to help his worried mother find a job online.(几年前，我遇到一个无家可归的人在公共汽车站乞讨面包。我本可以不理他，但我为他感到难过，于是掏出钱包。我手里只有20美元。我当时只是个大学生。然而，我把钱给了他，他向我保证他会找到一份工作来维持生活。当我上车时，他笑着对我说：“我会永远记住你的！”我也笑了。这让我很开心，我也永远不会忘记他的脸。后来，我把手机借给一个男孩打电话给他的家人，并设法帮助他担心的母亲在网上找到了一份工作)”可知，文章第三段通过举出帮助他人的例子来说明作者的善行。故选B。 (3)题解析： 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段，尤其是“Since doing good is within our power, let’s help out more.(既然做好事是我们力所能及的，那就多帮助别人吧)”可知，在最后，作者呼吁大家多做善事。故选A。 (4)题解析： 主旨大意题。文章第一、二段讲述了作者小时候和George及其父母一起去做好事，第三段举例说明自己施行的善举，最后一段号召大家行动起来，因为帮助他人会有积极的影响，因此，本文主要讲述了善行的力量，D选项“善行的力量”为最佳标题。故选D。 Passage 4 （25-26高一上·河北沧州泊头市八县·期中）Thanks to a high school robotics team, a tiny dog named Kanga-Roo who lost her front two legs at birth is walking on her own. The tiny dog, called “Roo” for short, first made news when she was dropped off at the Heart of Louisiana Humane Society in late 2023. Without her front legs, she had to adapt (适应) to jumping on her back legs for moving around. So the Steel Eagles Robotics Team at Holy Savior Menard Central High School in Louisiana put their minds to work and began building a special type of wheelchair that gives Roo two wheels in place of her front legs. For the students, seeing their design work in real life was an exciting experience. The team fitted Roo with her first wheelchair in October 2023 using a 3D printer. The dog ran into trouble while learning how to walk in the new setup, but she has adapted well. She has already outgrown her first wheelchair and is working on her second. The team will keep building new sizes until Roo is fully grown. The students and the Humane Society members have been working to teach Roo how to use her wheelchair. While she hasn’t mastered it yet, she is getting close. “She was scared at first but she’s getting more comfortable in it and it has become a lot easier for her to move freely,” the organization’s president, Kristy Royall, said. “It’s wonderful to see technology used in such a caring way,” she added. Kanga-Roo’s wheelchair is one of many projects the Steel Eagles Robotics Team has built for people or animals in need. According to coach Tonya Shepard, it is their goal to contribute to (做贡献) the community and do things that are actually helpful to the community. 1.What did the robotics team do for the dog Roo? A. They built a comfortable shelter for her. B. They taught her how to jump with back legs. C. They designed a movable wheelchair for her. D. They provided medical treatment for her legs. 2.What does the underlined word “outgrown” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Become larger than. B. Got tired of. C. Made use of. D. Looked forward to. 3.What does the author think of the team’s effort? A. It is challenging. B. It is meaningful. C. It is under-recognized. D. It is experimental. 4.Why does the robotics team undertake projects like Roo’s wheelchair? A. To win robotics competitions. B. To gain experience in animal care. C. To improve their 3D printing skills. D. To give back to their community. 【答案】1. C　2. A　3. B　4. D 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述路易斯安那州一所高中的机器人团队为天生缺失前腿的小狗Roo设计3D打印轮椅，帮助它自主行走的暖心故事。 (1)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“So the Steel Eagles Robotics Team at Holy Savior Menard Central High School in Louisiana put their minds to work and began building a special type of wheelchair that gives Roo two wheels in place of her front legs.(因此，路易斯安那州圣救主梅纳德中央高中的“钢铁雄鹰机器人团队”便开始潜心钻研，为鲁建造了一款特殊轮椅 —— 用两个轮子替代它的前腿。)”可知，机器人团队为Roo设计了可移动的轮椅。故选C项。 (2)题解析： 词句猜测题。根据第三段中的“ is working on her second. The team will keep building new sizes until Roo is fully grown.(它现在正在使用第二个轮椅。团队将继续制作新的尺寸，直到Roo完全长大。)”可推知，Roo长大之后，第一个轮椅已经“不合身”了，即它的体型比第一个轮椅更大了。因此，“outgrown”意为“长得比……大”。故选A项。 (3)题解析： 推理判断题。根据文章内容，机器人团队利用技术帮助残疾小狗实现自主行走，且最后一段提到这是团队为有需要的人或动物开展的众多公益项目之一。结合第四段中人道协会主席Kristy Royall的评价“It’s wonderful to see technology used in such a caring way.(看到技术以如此有爱心的方式被使用，真是太棒了。)”可推知，作者认为团队的努力是“有意义的”。故选B项。 (4)题解析： 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“According to coach Tonya Shepard, it is their goal to contribute to (做贡献)the community and do things that are actually helpful to the community.(据教练Tonya Shepard说，他们的目标是为社区做贡献，做一些真正对社区有帮助的事情。)”可知，机器人团队开展此类项目是为了回馈社区。故选D项。 Passage 5 （25-26高一上·河北沧州泊头市八县·期中）Sammie Vance was just named one of PEOPLE’s Girls Changing the World, and she is only 12 years old. The seventh grader from Indiana is collecting bottle caps to make them into buddy benches (伙伴长椅) for her school and neighborhood parks. But these benches are more than just for sitting; they’re to help kids find friends. Sammie learned about buddy benches at a camp she attended one summer. At the camp there were benches set up for when a child felt lonely; they would sit down, which means that they are in need of a friend. She said, “I’m like, ‘This would be really cool to have at my school.’” Then she sprang into action by meeting with her headmaster to present her idea. Sammie used a cartoon picture that she created to show how a simple bench could help classmates understand when one of their own needed a friend. The adults were surely impressed by her idea but were also impressed with how she planned on making the benches. Sammie and her mom Heidi found a company called Green Tree Plastics that could turn recycled (回收利用的) plastic caps into benches. These recycled benches cost much less than normal park benches and are good for the environment according to Sammie’s website. Then, she got to work and held a community-wide event, asking members to donate (捐赠) their old bottle caps. The event alone collected 1,600 pounds (725 kilograms) of caps and with that, she created three benches for her school. Sammie continued her efforts and enlarged her project to create more benches. Now officially called Sammie’s Buddy Bench Project, the project has a Facebook page for others to follow her journey and make bottle cap donations. Today, Sammie has set up 200 recycled benches in schools, neighborhoods and even local community centers. She has no plans of stopping. “For me, it’s seeing people who need a friend — whether they’re 8 or 80 — because I’ve been lonely myself. I don’t want others to feel that way,” she told PEOPLE. 1.What caused Sammie to start the project? A. Her wish to win a national prize. B. Her personal experience at a camp. C. The encouragement from her headmaster. D. The donation from an environmental company. 2.What is a buddy bench used to do? A. Serve as a piece of artistic decoration. B. Show a need for companionship. C. Provide a place for outdoor reading. D. Push for using recycled things. 3.What does Sammie believe about the buddy bench according to the last paragraph? A. Its role applies to all age groups. B.

Strangely, my first thought was to ask ChatGPT. This surprised me and made me wonder: What did I think of AI? Could it really help? Since ChatGPT appeared, teachers have different views. At first, I found it very useful. It offered me lesson ideas and saved me time. Students used it to understand difficult topics and get writing tips. But I noticed problems. One student couldn’t remember facts ChatGPT gave him. Another used it to make his writing look smarter, but lost his own style. Using AI for work meant students missed chances to improve their own ideas by revising. I told them: Use AI to help improve your writing, not to do it for you. I also started using pen and paper more for lesson planning. It was slower, but my ideas felt more real and truly mine. This reminded me that the process of thinking is often more important than just the final result. And as a result, I’d managed to think more clearly. In a world increasingly led by speed, I learned the best ideas often need time and focus. I’m not against AI, but I need to adjust (调节) its role in my life. My goal is to keep what’s important in teaching: curiosity, critical thinking, and solving problems without always taking shortcuts. I hope my students will, too. 1.What did the author do when seeing someone looking for a key on the bus? A. He reported it to the police. B. He joined in the search for it. C. He turned a blind eye to it. D. He turned to ChatGPT for help. 2.Why does the author mention his students in paragraph 3? A. To tell they are smart. B. To tell how AI helps them. C. To show the problems AI brings. D. To prove his teaching job successful. 3.What did the author think of planning his lessons by using pen and paper more? A. It wasted too much of his time. B. It was good for his thinking. C. It allowed him to get answers quickly. D. It led to losing good teaching methods. 4.What is the author’s attitude towards using AI? A. Careful. B. Hopeless. C. Unclear. D. Negative. 【答案】1. D　2. C　3. B　4. A 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述作者作为教师，从最初认为AI（如ChatGPT）实用，到发现其给学生带来的问题，再到调整自身使用方式，最终明确AI应作为辅助工具、坚守教学核心价值的感悟。 (1)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“After a long teaching day, I saw someone searching for a lost key between the seats on a crowded bus. Strangely, my first thought was to ask ChatGPT.(漫长的教学日结束后，我在拥挤的公交车上看到有人在座位之间寻找丢失的钥匙。奇怪的是，我的第一个念头是询问ChatGPT。)”可知，作者看到有人找钥匙时，第一反应是向ChatGPT求助。故选D项。 (2)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第三段首句“But I noticed problems.(但我注意到了一些问题。)”以及后文列举的“学生记不住ChatGPT给出的事实”“写作失去个人风格”“错过通过修改提升自身想法的机会”等具体事例可知，作者提及学生是为了具象化AI带来的负面影响，证明AI并非完美无缺。故选C项。 (3)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“I also started using pen and paper more for lesson planning. It was slower, but my ideas felt more real and truly mine. This reminded me that the process of thinking is often more important than just the final result. And as a result, I’d managed to think more clearly.(我也开始更多地用纸笔来备课。虽然速度变慢了，但我的想法感觉更真实、完全属于我自己。这让我意识到，思考的过程往往比最终结果更重要。结果就是，我的思路变得更清晰了。)”可知，作者认为用纸笔备课虽然耗时，但有助于深化思考、理清思路，对思考能力有积极作用。故选B项。 (4)题解析： 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“I’m not against AI, but I need to adjust (调节) its role in my life. My goal is to keep what’s important in teaching: curiosity, critical thinking, and solving problems without always taking shortcuts.(我并不反对AI，但我需要调整它在我生活中的角色。我的目标是坚守教学中最重要的东西：好奇心、批判性思维，以及不依赖捷径解决问题的能力。)”可知，作者不排斥AI，但强调要明确其辅助定位，避免过度依赖，态度严谨且审慎。故选A项。 主题语境04 人与自我-生活与学习 Passage 1 （25-26高一上·福建漳州第一中学-11月·期中）This year, I did something I’d never done — shopping at midnight on Black Friday after Thanksgiving. After all, you can get great deals online from the comfort of your bed over a hot cup of coffee. So why would I stand in traffic, cold weather, and crowds for a few bargains (特价商品)? For my teenagers, spending time with Mum is usually down on their list next to homework and picking up the dog waste. So, when they asked me to take them shopping at the mall at midnight on Black Friday, my first reaction (反应) was surely no! But my son, who usually runs the other way if I mention shopping, wanted me to take him shopping. I felt needed, though I knew it was my wallet and a ride, not quality (高质量的) time with Mum that they wanted. Then the hour-long car ride. We followed songs on the radio and talked about the deals we hoped to get. I had chances to give them lessons on what not to do when driving, but I had to keep the peace. And we all connected as we sat with crazed smiles at midnight. The kids were excited once we finally reached the busy parking lot. There was something about standing in a line that snaked around the building in the freezing cold that brought people together. Once inside, we had to work as a team, hoping to come together with just the right size and colour. As I dug through mountains of clothing for a special shirt for my husband and gave up, my daughter came towards me, shirt in hand and victory on her face. “I got the last one!” So we ended up at 3 a.m. with some bargains. Nothing we couldn’t have found online or in stores at a reasonable hour. But for me, I got quality time with my kids. Driving home tired, looking in the mirror at my children’s sweet faces, I decided, “If they ask me to again next year, I’m in.” 1.What did the kids need to do according to the author? A. Buy things online with comfort. B. Take a cup of coffee comfortably. C. Shop with their mother’s money. D. Spend quality time with the family. 2.How did the author communicate with her kids during the drive to the mall? A. She shared their excitement. B. She taught them some songs. C. She taught them shopping tips. D. She gave them lessons on driving. 3.Why did the daughter show victory on her face? A. She had worked as a team member. B. She had searched out her clothes. C. She had been in line to see a snake. D. She had found a shirt for her father. 4.How did the author find her shopping experience? A. Tiring. B. Enjoyable. C. Heart-broken. D. Money-wasting. 【答案】1. C　2. A　3. D　4. B 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者在感恩节之后的“黑色星期五”和孩子们在凌晨购物的经历。 (1)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第二段“So, when they asked me to take them shopping at the mall at midnight on Black Friday, my first reaction was surely no! But my son, who usually runs the other way if I mention shopping, wanted me to take him shopping. I felt needed, though I knew it was my wallet and a ride, not quality time with Mum that they wanted.(所以，当他们让我在黑色星期五午夜带他们去商场购物时，我的第一反应肯定是不！但我儿子想让我带他去购物，如果我提到购物，他通常会往另一边跑。我觉得他们需要我，虽然我知道他们想要的是我的钱包和一趟便车，而不是和妈妈共度美好时光)”可知，孩子们想让作者陪他们在感恩节之后的“黑色星期五”去购物，是因为孩子们需要的是用作者的钱去购物，故选C。 (2)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第三段中“We followed songs on the radio and talked about the deals we hoped to get.(我们跟着收音机里的歌曲哼唱，并谈论着我们希望买到的特价商品)”可知，在开车去商场的路上，作者和孩子们一起分享了对购物的兴奋之情。故选A。 (3)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第四段中“As I dug through mountains of clothing for a special shirt for my husband and gave up, my daughter came towards me, shirt in hand and victory on her face. “I got the last one!”(当我为了给丈夫找一件特别的衬衫而在成堆的衣服里翻找却放弃时，我的女儿拿着一件衬衫朝我走来，脸上带着胜利的表情。“我拿到最后一件了！”)”可知，女儿脸上露出胜利的表情是因为她为作者的丈夫找到了一件衬衫。故选D。 (4)题解析： 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“But for me, I got quality time with my kids.(但对我来说，我得到了与孩子们共处的宝贵时光)”以及“Driving home tired, looking in the mirror at my children’s sweet faces, I decided, “If they ask me to again next year, I’m in.”(疲惫地开车回家，看着镜子里孩子们可爱的脸庞，我决定，“如果他们明年再让我去，我一定去。”)”可以看出，尽管过程很累，但作者认为这次购物经历是愉快且值得的。故选B。 Passage 2 （25-26高一上·福建莆田第一中学·期中）The pupils in Paula Merrigan’s kindergarten (幼儿园) class often call her Mom, or sometimes even Grandma, partly because Merrigan ensures all the children are greeted with a big smile when they enter the classroom in the morning. She works with every single one of them one-on-one at some point during the day, and she’s generous with praise, hugs, and affection. “When small children tell you they love you, say it back to them,” said the teacher. “It’s important for every child to feel their teacher cares about them and that school is always a secure place to stay. When they know you truly care about them, they want to do their best for you, because they’re seeking your approval.” Merrigan also lets the children tell her their stories to learn what they’re passionate about. “When you learn about certain things they like and tie them to your topic, they love it,” she said. “Maybe the children told you that they really like dinosaurs so when you’re teaching the letter ‘D’, you create a dinosaur art project to go with it.” Given that separation anxiety hits many youngsters hard when they enter the kindergarten classroom, how children feel at the beginning of their schooling can set the tone for the rest of their academic life, experts say. “This is important for little ones because this is often the first time that they’re experiencing formal education,” said Hedy Chang, executive director of Attendance Works, a nonprofit working to boost student attendance. “What happens during this time can help lay the foundation for social and academic success.” Researchers found students of all ages who miss an excessive amount of school often suffer from mental issues. They may need to feel nurtured, experts say. “To the degree that parents keep kids home from school because the kids say they don’t want to go,” said Deborah Stipek, an expert from Stanford University, “children’s relationship with the teacher should be an important factor.” Merrigan, who herself remembers faking being sick a few times as a child, couldn’t agree more. 1.What is Merrigan’s class like? A. Warm, supportive, and engaging. B. Comfortable, quiet and test-score-driven. C. Loving and teacher-centered. D. Caring and focused on personal work. 2.Why does Merrigan listen to her students’ personal stories? A. To learn about children’s behavior patterns. B. To help with exact grading and assessments (评价). C. To easily manage possible classroom differences. D. To make her students more focused on her lessons. 3.What is the best title for the passage? A. Managing Parental Separation Anxiety. B. attendance and Academic (学业的) Achievement. C. Creative Kindergarten Teaching Methods. D. Developing Emotional Connections in Kindergartens. 【答案】1. A　2. D　3.

It’s a place of energy, though often seen as cold and distant. Yet, personal connections can still happen here. One cold November, my high school soccer team was heading home to Manhattan after a game in the Bronx. Twenty of us piled onto the D train, loud and full of energy, filling the car with our talking and laughter. To pass the time on the long ride, we started singing loudly, our excitement making up for our lack of musical talent. Our noise was met with mostly unhappy looks from the other passengers. Then, an old homeless man with worn-out clothes and a calm and respectful manner entered the car. He announced he would sing a few songs. While most people ignored him, we watched closely. He began with “Joy to the World.” His strong and clear voice was so moving that we found ourselves joining in. The atmosphere (气氛) in the car changed; people who had been keeping to themselves now listened, enjoying this special moment. He sang a few more songs, including one of his own, and was met with applause. For his final song, he chose “God Bless America.” This time, not just our group, but everyone in the car joined in singing. The powerful, united singing drew people from other subway cars to ours. I saw a woman holding a baby, singing with tears streaming down her cheeks. In that moment, a group of strangers — reserved New Yorkers, high school girls, and a homeless man — came together through songs, allowing our voices and hearts to become one. It is a moment whose power will stay with me forever. 1.What do people often think of New Yorkers? A. They are always in a hurry. B. They care little about others. C.

A woman—in her attempt to give way to an ambulance—had driven her car over stony obstacles that separated the bike line from the street, and had gotten her car stuck as a result. She couldn't move the car in any direction without damaging it. A couple of people tried to lift the car back but the obstacles were too high. Seeing that they couldn't do much about it, they left and the woman in the car tried to call for some service. While watching the other people leave, I realized the woman would be on her own and I imagined how uncomfortable that would be if I were in her shoes. After some talking, she understood what my purpose was and invited me to sit inside her car. She called for service and was told that it would take about 45 minutes for someone to get there. I wasn't in a hurry, so I informed my partner about the situation and that I would be later and then tried to comfort the woman who seemed to feel stressed about causing others trouble. But actually it wasn't too much trouble since they could still pass, and also there wasn't anything she could do about it anyway. We laughed and joked that all we needed was some tea for our picnic. Finally assistance came and helped her back on the street. She thanked me and asked for my phone number so she could return the favor, but I told her it was okay. She seemed to feel much better when we said our goodbyes. I believe that not having to face a difficult situation alone can make a difference. 1.What happened to the woman when she avoided an ambulance? A. Her car hit stony obstacles. B.

Sometimes they have a great idea. Other times, they decide to make a living by doing something they enjoy. For Eli Reich, his business began when someone stole his bike bag. Reich was an engineer in Seattle. Because he cared about the environment, he biked to work every day. He carried his work and his laptop in a bike bag. When someone took his bag, he tried to buy a new one. But he couldn’t find one he liked. So he decided to make his own. Riding a bike every day leads to lots of tire punctures. As a result, he had plenty of used inner tubes in his apartment. Inner tubes are the inside part of a bike tire. They are soft, flexible, and feel like leather; they are also waterproof, so things inside won’t get wet even on rainy days, which are all perfect qualities for a bag. His friends loved his new bag. Soon, his bike bag was in great demand. Reich quit his job and started his own business-Alchemy Goods. At first, he depended on his friends for inner tubes. But business was good, and he quickly ran short of these tubes. He needed a new supply. So he asked local bike stores to send him used inner tubes instead of throwing them away. To date, he has used over 300,000 inner tubes. Each bag uses as many recycled products as possible. Reich’s goal is to use 100 percent recycled materials. Reich emphasizes that he uses recycled materials, but he creates high-quality products. Recycling turns waste into reusable things. Upcycling transforms waste into a better quality product. Alchemy Goods bags are not cheap. Each bag is handmade. Using recycled materials keeps the cost down, but labor is expensive. Each bag sells for around $130. Creating a business out of other people’s trash is a growing trend. Reich joins thousands of small business owners who are taking advantage of the trash that Americans throw away every year. 1.Why did Reich start his business? A. His concern for the environment. B. The theft of his bike bag. C. His dislike of his engineering job. D. His friends’ encouragement. 2.The underlined word “waterproof” probably means ________. A. easy to wash B. simple to make C. quick to dry D. able to keep water out 3.Where does Reich get most of his materials now? A. From his friends. B. From new factories. C. From local bike stores. D. From his own collection. 4.What can we learn about Reich’s bags? A. They are high-quality and handmade. B. They are cheap and mass-produced. C. They are mainly sold to his friends. D. They are made from 100% recycled materials. 【答案】1. B　2. D　3. C　4. A 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Eli Reich因自行车包被盗而开始利用废旧自行车内胎制作高质量手工包并创办公司的故事。 (1)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第一段中“For Eli Reich, his business began when someone stole his bike bag.(对Eli Reich来说，他的生意始于有人偷了他的自行车包)”以及第二段中“When someone took his bag, he tried to buy a new one.

For a moment, he seems to hang in the air. Then, he pushes the ball down through the basket — a slam dunk (扣篮)! His career may look like a slam dunk, being a national champion at the University of Connecticut, and setting beginner records with the Toronto Raptors. However, life wasn’t always easy for him. His success comes not only from his basketball skills but also from how he dealt with a skin disease called alopecia areata (斑秃), which isn’t infectious. It happens when the body’s immune system goes wrong and attacks its own hair-growing cells. Charlie was affected at age 10 and lost all his hair by age 12. This made him a target for bullying (欺凌), leading him to shut away from others and hide under caps and hoods. With the support of his mother, Charlie found refuge in basketball. He turned his depression and stress into motivation, improving his skills to the point where his gift became more important than his condition. The bullying stopped, and his basketball career took off. All along the way, Charlie has continuously applied himself to helping others. Ever since his first year as a new player, he has served as a spokesperson for the National Alopecia Areata Foundation, and went on to set up the Charlie Villanueva Foundation, an organization aimed at supporting families with children suffering from alopecia and stopping all forms of bullying. As the son of immigrants from the Dominican Republic, he has even worked towards ending poverty in that country. Charlie encourages young people to accept their individuality and have confidence in themselves. “We’re all unique in our own ways,” he says, encouraging them to remember that with dedication and self-belief, any dream is within reach. 1.Why is Charlie’s slam dunk mentioned in Paragraph 1? A. To compare him with other champions. B. To explain how a slam dunk is performed. C. To highlight his skills and achievements. D. To show a specific moment in a game. 2.What made Charlie avoid his classmates? A. An infectious skin disease. B. His being made fun of. C. An error in the immune system. D. His average ability to play basketball. 3.Which of the following best describes Charlie? A. Strong-willed and helpful. B. Strict and responsible. C. Warm-hearted and humorous. D. Independent and creative. 4.What message does the author want to express in the text? A. Luck often comes to those who are ready. B. Actions speak louder than words. C.

Her groundbreaking work, which began in 1960 in Tanzania’s Gombe Stream National Park, completely changed scientists’ ideas about how smart animals are and what makes humans unique. Without a college degree at first, Goodall used great patience and an open mind to study chimpanzees (黑猩猩). She didn’t see them just as animals, but as individuals with their own personalities, feelings, and social lives. A key moment came when a chimpanzee she named David Greybeard allowed her to watch him closely. She saw him change a twig (小枝) by removing its leaves and use it to “fish” for termites (白蚁). This was an important discovery because, at that time, scientists believed only humans could make and use tools. This finding challenged the idea that humans were completely different from other animals. As the well-known anthropologist (人类学家) Louis Leakey said, it forced science to rethink the definition of “human.” Over time, Goodall formed close friendships with the chimpanzees, especially with a mother named Flo and her family. These strong personal connections allowed her to see into their world and deeply understand their family life and social behavior. Her unusual path — earning a PhD from Cambridge University without first getting a bachelor’s degree — showed her strong devotion. Knowing she needed to do more, she started the Jane Goodall Institute (JGI) in 1977. This organization leads global protection efforts and runs youth programs like “Roots & Shoots,” while also supporting women in science. Jane Goodall’s legacy (传承) goes far beyond her scientific discoveries. She showed the world that animals have complex emotions and intelligence, which helps people respect nature more. Even into her nineties, she continued to encourage people to protect wildlife and the environment around them. Through her life’s work, Goodall taught us that understanding and valuing other species is important for the health of our planet and for our own humanity. 1.Why is Jane Goodall’s work called “groundbreaking”? A. Changed views on animal intelligence. B. Proved all animals use tools. C. Created new research methods. D. Showed women can be scientists. 2.How did Goodall discover chimpanzees using tools? A. By reviewing existing theories. B. By doing experiments. C. By watching David Greybeard. D. By contacting local guides. 3.What does Goodall’s bond with Flo show? A. Long-term studies are effective. B. Tool usage requires long learning. C. A PhD degree ensures discovery. D. Emotional connection deepens research. 4.How does the text develop its main idea about Goodall? A. By comparing different research methods. B. By moving from discovery to influence. C. By listing life events in time order. D. By focusing on early African research 【答案】1. A　2. C　3. D　4. B 【解析】【导语】 这是一篇记叙文。简・古道尔自 1960 年起研究坦桑尼亚黑猩猩，发现其会使用工具等，成立相关机构，推动野生动物保护，留下深远影响。 (1)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第一段“Her groundbreaking work, which began in 1960 in Tanzania’s Gombe Stream National Park, completely changed scientists’ ideas about how smart animals are and what makes humans unique.

His goal is to spread kindness and inspire others to do the same. It all started last year when Orion’s elementary school teacher suggested that the then 9-year-old enter the National Kindness Speech Contest. “I decided that I was just going to give it a shot and see how it would go,” Orion tells us. He gave a speech about how kindness could “change a nation,” and won the competition, receiving a $500 cash prize. He quickly realized he wasn’t going to use all of that money. “I’m a kid,” he says, “I have everything that I could ever want. But there are people who don’t.” Orion, who says his parents always taught him that “kindness is a virtue that we should all try to possess,” came up with the idea of the Race to Kindness campaign — a series of events to help others. Orion describes the campaign as “just an idea where I would spread kindness and people would be able to join the race by spreading kindness in their own communities.” He decided to start by helping children with health problems in the hospital, saying, “What better way to amuse a kid than a toy?” So, he used his winnings to buy as many toys as possible and launched a toy fair to gather more. He collected over 600 toys, which were donated to the Children’s Health Hospital in Dallas in 2021. But Orion was just getting started. After the toy fair, he launched an ambitious “Race to 100, 000 meals” to help food-insecure people in his community. Race to Kindness partnered with a local nonprofit organization to help get 100, 000 meals donated and to feed people who might not have had a meal for Thanksgiving. The result? “We were able to not only reach but also surpass our goal of 100, 000 meals,” he says. In May 2022, the kindness activist decided to launch “Race to 500, 000 Books” to help families who couldn’t afford books or live in “book deserts”. When asked why he thinks of books, “I’m a huge book fan,” Orion shares, “and studies show that children who have books in their homes do better academically.” 1.What does the underlined words “give it a shot” mean in Paragraph 2? A. Have a try. B. Give a hand. C. Get a big head. D. Have second thoughts. 2.What helps Orion bring about the idea of the Race to Kindness campaign? A. His great passion for racing. B. His unused toys all over the place. C. Family education from his childhood. D. Heartbreaking scenes in the hospital. 3.Which of the following can best describe the young boy Orion? A. Creative and childish. B. Kind and straightforward. C. Easy-going and sympathetic. D. Generous and ambitious. 4.What can be inferred about why Orion chose to start the “Race to Kindness” campaign with toys for children in hospitals? A. He believed toys could be a great way to bring happiness to ill children. B. He wanted to become famous by organizing a large toy collection event. C. His parents advised him to use toys because they are easy to gather. D. He thought it would be a quick way to spend his prize money. 【答案】1. A　2. C　3. D　4. A 【解析】【导语】 这是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了一个有使命感的孩子Orion Jean，他认为善良是一种美德，并以身行善，发起了一系列慈善活动，帮助了很多有需要的人。 (1)题解析： 词句猜测题。根据第二段“I decided that I was just going to give it a shot and see how it would go(我决定打算give it a shot，看看会怎么样)”以及“He gave a speech(他发表了一次演讲)”可知，Orion决定试一试（参加慈善演讲比赛），看看结果会是什么样的。因此猜测，划线部分意为“试一试”。故选A。 (2)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第四段的“Orion, who says his parents always taught him that “kindness is a virtue that we should all try to possess,” came up with the idea of the Race to Kindness campaign — a series of events to help others.(Orion说，他的父母总是告诉他“善良是一种美德，我们都应该努力拥有”，于是他想出了“Race to Kindness”活动的主意——通过一系列活动来帮助他人)”可知，小时候Orion所受的家庭教育让他有了“Race to Kindness”活动的主意。故选C。 (3)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第四段的“So, he used his winnings to buy as many toys as possible and launched a toy fair to gather more. He collected over 600 toys, which were donated to the Children’s Health Hospital in Dallas in 2021.(所以，他用他的奖金买了尽可能多的玩具，并发起了一个玩具博览会来收集更多的玩具。他收集了600多个玩具，这些玩具于2021年捐赠给了达拉斯的儿童健康医院)”可知，Orion把用自己的奖金买的玩具和收集来的玩具送给别人，由此推知他很慷慨；根据第五段的“But Orion was just getting started. After the toy fair, he launched an ambitious “Race to 100, 000 meals” to help food-insecure people in his community.

That view is not surprising given the Wagga High School student loves language — so much so he has built a Chinese translation app. Noah said his love of language was encouraged by his community. “Wagga is a place full of people from different cultures, and sometimes when I meet new people who have trouble speaking English I like to talk to them in their own language,” he said. “I also have a few Chinese friends so I think it will be cool to talk to them in their language.” The 17-year-old started teaching himself Chinese around five years ago, before taking distance education classes at the start of Year 11. His language ability was also useful in his part-time job at a local Chinese restaurant, where he translated orders for the cooks and customers. Noah said he also had a basic knowledge of seven other languages. It was while teaching himself languages that Noah got the idea of the translation tool. “I decided to make my own app because there weren’t many around — all the other apps were full of advertisements (广告) and the translation feature (功能) wasn’t powerful enough,” he said. His app also includes a word of the day feature, lessons on how to write Chinese characters (汉字) and a news feed of important Chinese news. He said learning computer programming (编程) to build the app had been like studying another language. With the end of school around the corner, Noah said he would like to pursue (追求) both his interests in computer programming and languages. “I’m planning to work for a year and save so I can go on to university as I really want to make a career (事业) out of one of these two topics.” 1.What do we know about Noah?

Look for a job. B. Attend university. C. Develop a new app. D. Learn more languages. 4.Which of the following can best describe Noah? A. Humorous and honest. B. Curious and creative. C. Courageous and caring. D. Outgoing and kind. 【答案】1. D　2. D　3. A　4.

I was so excited but also a little nervous because my French was not good. One hot afternoon, after exploring the city, I felt really tired. I wanted to tell my French friend, Claire, “I am a little tired.” I carefully said the words I’d learned: “Je suis un pue fatigue.” But Claire burst out laughing. My face felt hot. What had I done wrong? Claire explained, “In French, there are words that sound similar but have very different meanings. ‘peu’ means ‘a little,’ but if you pronounce it differently, it can sound like ‘pue’, which means ‘stinks’ — like something smells bad. So, instead of saying you needed a rest, it sounded like you were saying you smelled bad and were tired” This awkward (尴尬的) moment was a real eye-opener for me. It made me realize just how daunting pronunciation can be in a foreign language. Even small differences in pronunciation can completely change the meaning of what you’re trying to say. The same is true in English, for example, “ship” (a large boat) and “sheep” (a woolly animal) sound very similar, but they mean totally different things. Now, I pay extra attention to how words sound and what they mean. And if I mix them up again? I’ll just laugh along. After all, laughing is part of learning — even if it’s a bit stinky sometimes. 1.Why was the author nervous about his holiday in France? A. He was poor at French. B. He never went abroad. C. He had no friends there. D. He was in short of money. 2.What awkward moment did the author meet? A. He got a wrong person. B. He made a pronunciation mistake. C. He was tricked by the locals. D. He spelt a word incorrectly. 3.What does the underlined word “daunting” in paragraph 4 most probably mean? A. Easy. B. Natural. C. Difficult. D. Clear. 4.How did the author’s experience in France affect him? A. He smelled bad and was tired. B. He hated learning foreign languages. C. He no longer considered Claire as a friend. D. He became open to mistakes in language learning. 【答案】1. A　2. B　3. C　4. D 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者在法国度假时，因法语发音错误而引发的尴尬经历及从中获得的启示。 (1)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第一段中“I was so excited but also a little nervous because my French was not good.(我很兴奋，但也有点紧张，因为我的法语不好。)”可知，作者因为法语不好而感到紧张。故选A。 (2)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Claire explained, “In French, there are words that sound similar but have very different meanings. ‘peu’ means ‘a little,’ but if you pronounce it differently, it can sound like ‘pue’, which means ‘stinks’ — like something smells bad.(Claire解释说：“在法语中，有些词发音相似，但意思却大不相同。‘peu’的意思是‘一点点’，但如果你发音不同，听起来就像‘pue’，意思是‘发臭’——就像什么东西闻起来很臭。)”可知，作者遇到的尴尬时刻是发音错误。故选B。 (3)题解析： 词句猜测题。根据第四段中“This awkward (尴尬的) moment was a real eye-open er for me.

The stall is run by Li Junyong, who sells delicious fried chicken cutlets. However, people flock to his stall not just for the tasty food. They come because his stall operates under some really clever and unique rules. Everyone affectionately calls him “Chicken Cutlet Bro”, and he has gained fame for his kind heart and smart business ideas. The most notable rule is designed for students. Every afternoon at 4:30, Mr. Li stops serving other customers and reserves that time exclusively for students from the nearby school. Why does he do this? He says he has made a promise to the students to always have a warm snack ready for them when their classes end. He believes that the students’ happiness is of great importance, so other patrons have to wait. Mr. Li also aims to be highly efficient. To save time, he has a signature phrase that all his customers know well. Politely, he always says, “Please open your plastic bag.” This simple request helps him pack the chicken cutlets more quickly, so the hungry students don’t have to wait for too long. It’s a small rule, but it makes a significant difference. And he even has an amusing rule regarding quality. If a chicken cutlet isn’t cooked to perfection, he gives it to the customer for free. He wants every customer to get the best — tasting food from his stall. These special rules make buying chicken cutlets from Mr. Li a fun and pleasant experience. Customers feel that they get more than just food; they also receive a smile and excellent service. His kind and clever rules have turned his small stall into the most popular spot in the town. 1.What word can be used to replace the underlined word in Paragraph 1? A. Seriously. B. Confidently. C.

I had left a good job to take care of my six-month-old son. Although I loved being with him, I missed talking to other adults and wanted to hear news from outside. I knew I needed to make friends with other mothers — but I didn’t know how. I often took my son, Ethan, to the grocery store, which wasn’t a good place to make friends. He enjoyed smiling at people and looking at colorful displays, but I needed more. “We have to find something better to do,” I thought. Then one day, my husband suggested going to the library. I loved reading but hadn’t had much time since Ethan was born. Maybe a good book could cheer me up. While at the library, I discovered the children’s area. There was a schedule of activities for children, including a playgroup for babies and toddlers (学步的儿童). I wasn’t sure if I would know anyone, but I decided to give it a try. The next week, Ethan and I went to the playgroup. I was nervous at first. Luckily, a friendly woman named Misty welcomed us. She introduced me to other moms, and we started talking about our children — their development, favorite foods, and sleep habits. I left feeling happy and hopeful about making new friends. After that, Ethan and I seldom missed a playgroup. As he grew older, we joined more activities like “Tot Time” and “Story Time.” Later, when his younger sister and brother were born, our schedule became even busier. Together, we learned about gardening, met animals from the local zoo, and played educational games. Most importantly, we all made new friends. I’m thankful for the moms I met at the library. We have similar backgrounds and children around the same age, so we can support and advise each other. When the children were younger, we met at different parks during summer. Now, we sometimes go out without the kids for dinner or shopping. We still join library activities together. I’m still amazed how one small brave step changed my life so much. My advice is: don’t be afraid to talk to other moms. You can meet them at the park, church, school, or the library. You might just make lifelong friends. 1.Why did the author feel lonely at the beginning of the story? A. She didn’t love her son. B. She missed her good job. C. She missed talking to other adults. D. She didn’t like staying at home at all. 2.What did the author discover in the children’s area of the library? A. A free toy shop. B. A playgroup for mothers. C. A new book for herself. D. A schedule of activities for children. 3.How did the author feel after the first playgroup? A. Happy and hopeful. B. Tired and bored. C. Nervous and annoyed. D. Determined but sad. 4.What is the main message of the story? A. Libraries are only for reading books. B. Mothers should always stay at home. C. Children don’t need friends when they are young. D. It’s important to be brave and try new things to make friends. 【答案】1. C　2. D　3. A　4.

He says the honor is due to more than just brains. Instead, it was determination that made him an accomplished pianist. He says his biggest natural talent was drawing and he also has a love of art. But it was math that attracted him and he wouldn’t let go. He was studying how math may help control the spread of diseases. “I would sleep on the couch next to the computer,” he said. “I saw a gap in epidemiological (流行病学的) research in the study of how diseases spread. I didn’t know at the time that it would become one of the most important topics in the world.” While his work is timely and important, there’s lots of competition. Eleven other finalists from this region of the country are also vying for the honor. They attend schools like MIT, Stanford and the University of Chicago. Mercier owes it to his school that he can have as good a chance as any of the others and he feels that USF has prepared him well. If he doesn’t win the honor and get to study expense-free at Oxford, he says he’ll have many options. “I will continue to do the work that I enjoy and that I think will benefit people,” he said. Some are surprised that USF hasn’t had a previous Rhodes Scholar. However, many schools haven’t had one. Only 32 are selected each year from across the nation. USF has only been in existence since 1956. By contrast, the first classes at Oxford were held in 1096. 1.Why did Mercier choose to major in mathematics and microbiology? A. He saw its bright future. B. He has a passion for math. C. He wants to win the honor. D. He is talented in this field. 2.Which expression can best replace the underlined phrase “vying for”? A. Hunting for. B. Applying for. C. Allowing for. D. Competing for. 3.What can we infer about Mercier? A. He will study art at Oxford. B. He tries to become a pianist. C. He is grateful to his school. D. He studies how diseases exist. 4.What does the passage mainly talk about? A. A senior could be USF’s first Rhodes Scholar. B. 32 students are selected for Rhodes Scholar. C. Math may help control the spread of diseases. D. A senior found the most vital topics in the world. 【答案】1. B　2. D　3. C　4.

And you need an iPhone.” This funny conversation two years ago marked a shift in our relationship. Perhaps for the first time, I began to really listen to my son’s opinion about our home technology. Since his reasoning was sensible and his suggestions within budget, I took his advice and was pleasantly surprised with the results. I’d known for a while that my son understands technology better than I do. On airplanes, he grabbed my phone to put it in airplane mode. He wired the speakers in our house. After something was stolen from our front yard, he picked out, set up, and now monitors our security camera. When my computer died, I took him shopping with me. As a teenager now, he has a busy social life, with skateboarding, basketball, and online gaming with his friends. I see our time together decreasing and our shared interests shrinking. That’s why I jumped at the chance when a friend mentioned writing technology reviews. I’m a writer, but I’d need a partner who has more tech knowledge than me. When I presented the idea to my teen, he immediately accepted It’s changed our relationship in surprising ways. Where he used to get annoyed quickly at my technical ignorance, he’s learned to be more patient and explain things to me in a way that I can convey to an unknowing audience. The parent-child dynamic is not only changed; it’s even slightly reversed — he’s leading me. I’m asking him for help and advice. My son has risen to the occasion. He’s taking it seriously, and to watch him mature in this way is an honor. As someone who’s not much of a reader, he now searches instruction book. Without any prompting, he’s even emailed and called, yes, made an actual phone call to customer service or tech support when sample products weren’t working as expected. I never imagined being a tech reviewer, but it’s proved to be a valuable way to learn from, work with and enjoy time with my teen. 1.What did the writer think of her son’s advice? A. It was unaffordable. B. It was beyond reach. C. It sounded reasonable. D. It sounded surprising. 2.What is mainly talked about in Paragraph 3? A. Prove her son’s better mastery of technology. B. Describe their close parent-child relationship. C. Give examples of her son’s interest in airplanes. D. Express her satisfaction of her son’s timely help. 3.Which is closest in meaning to the underlined word “reversed” in Paragraph 5? A. Unrealistic. B. Opposite. C. Negative. D. Common. 4.What makes the writer feel honored? A. Her son’s patience with their relationship. B. Her son’s attitudes to some unknown audiences. C. Her son’s growth and serious attitude to the work. D. Her son’s desire to change the parent-child dynamic. 【答案】1. C　2. A　3. B　4. C 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了作者与儿子之间的关系通过科技方面的事情发生了变化。 (1)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Since his reasoning was sensible and his suggestions within budget, I took his advice and was pleasantly surprised with the results.(由于他的论证合理，而且他的建议在预算范围内，我采纳了他的建议，并对结果感到惊喜。)”可知，作者觉得儿子的建议听起来很合理。故选C。 (2)题解析： 段落大意题。根据第三段第一句“I’d known for a while that my son understands technology better than I do.(我早就知道我儿子比我更懂技术。)”可知，作者早就知道儿子比自己更懂技术，接下来“On airplanes, he grabbed my phone to put it in airplane mode. He wired the speakers in our house. After something was stolen from our front yard, he picked out, set up, and now monitors our security camera. When my computer died. I took him shopping with me.(在飞机上，他抓住我的手机，把它调到飞机模式。他给我们家的扬声器接线。在我们前院有东西被盗后，他挑选、安装并监视我们的摄像头。当我的电脑坏了。我带他去购物。)”作者通过举例论证了儿子比自己更懂技术，由此可推测出，本段主要论证了作者的儿子对技术更加精通。故选A。 (3)题解析： 词义猜测题。根据破折号后的“he’s leading me(他在引导我)”并结合作者与儿子的母子关系可知，作为母亲，作者应该是儿子的导师，给儿子指导，而现在儿子在引导作者，由此可推测出，这里表达的是俩人的关系颠倒了，reversed意为“颠倒，相反”，与opposite(相反的)意思最接近。故选B。 (4)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第五段中的“My son has risen to the occasion. He’s taking it seriously, and to watch him mature in this way is an honor. As someone who’s not much of a reader, he now searches instruction book. Without any prompting, he’s even emailed and called, yes, made an actual phone call to customer service or tech support when sample products weren’t working as expected.(我儿子已应付自如。他很认真，看着他以这种方式成熟是一种荣幸。作为一个不怎么读书的人，他现在搜索说明书。在没有任何提示的情况下，当产品样品没有按预期工作时，他甚至会发电子邮件和打电话给客户服务或技术支持。)”可推知，作者的儿子变得成熟了，而且对待工作非常认真，这让作者感到很荣幸。故选C。 Passage 7 （25-26高一上·江西南昌第二中学·期中）Last spring, my neighbor Donna and I, both in our seventies, spent several hours in the glorious sunshine enjoying the new season. When it was time to sit down and relax, Donna pulled out her red metal chair from her garage, and I sat on an overturned plastic bucket. It was fun to catch up on the news that we had missed during the long winter indoors. However, over the next few days, it turned out that we needed more than a chair and a bucket which were not quite comfortable. Donna decided we needed a bench. After ruling out unsuitable options from local stores, she found a perfect one online. The next day it arrived. Excitedly, she opened the box and started putting it together. We proudly highfived each other as the pieces joined up and the bench started to look like one. After a few minutes’ assistance from a neighbour, it was assembled. What’s more, it was ideal for two 70-somethings to carry on late afternoon chats. Soon, the bench attracted other neighbors. One day, someone called out from the sidewalk, “What do you do on that bench?” Quick-thinking Donna shouted back, “It’s our ‘Thinking Bench’! We think about important things happening in our lives.” Then, the name gradually evolved — after one neighbor sat alone deep in thought, he declared it a “Decision-Making Bench”; another time, when Donna was caught napping, she insisted she was “meditating (冥想)”, adding yet another name. Last fall, with the temperature falling, our outdoor days come to an end. We were faced with one dilemma — what to do about it in the winter? Well, we sat down and thought and meditated and decided to put it in Donna’s garage for the winter. When I glimpsed it a few times over the next months, the bench sat lonely, holding empty flower pots, and some flat, old boxes. But now after a long winter, spring flowers are ready to bloom in the warm sunshine, and we neighbours are ready to welcome “The Bench” back into our lives. 1.Donna decided to replace the chair and bucket to ________. A. lighten the carrying load B. attract more neighbours C. get better seating for conversations D. adapt to warmer weather 2.How did the bench get its various names? A. From items placed on it. B. From seasonal discussions. C. From Donna’s creative ideas. D. From users’ activities on it. 3.Why are pots and boxes mentioned in the last paragraph? A. To suggest the flowers would soon be planted. B. To describe the bench’s practical use in winter. C. To show the bench was not serving its purpose. D. To explain why the bench needed winter storage. 4.What does “The Bench” represent by the end of the story? A. A symbol of community bonds. B. A marker of individual free time. C. A reminder of the past summer. D. A memory of a valued online order. 【答案】1. C　2. D　3. C　4. A 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了七十多岁的作者和邻居唐娜因觉得椅子和桶坐着不舒服，网购并组装了一张长椅，这张长椅不仅成了二人午后聊天的好去处，还吸引了其他邻居，被赋予了多个名字，展现了邻里间的联结。 (1)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第二段中“However, over the next few days, it turned out that we needed more than a chair and a bucket which were not quite comfortable. Donna decided we needed a bench.(然而，在接下来的几天里，我们发现椅子和桶坐起来并不舒服，这些远远不够。唐娜决定我们需要一张长椅)”以及第二段末句“What’s more, it was ideal for two 70-somethings to carry on late afternoon chats.(此外，这张长椅非常适合两个七十多岁的人在傍晚继续聊天)”可知，换掉座椅是为了获得更舒适的、适合聊天的座位。故选C。 (2)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第三段内容“Soon, the bench attracted other neighbors. One day, someone called out from the sidewalk, “What do you do on that bench?” Quick-thinking Donna shouted back, “It’s our ‘Thinking Bench’! We think about important things happening in our lives.” Then, the name gradually evolved—after one neighbor sat alone deep in thought, he declared it a “Decision-Making Bench”; another time, when Donna was caught napping, she insisted she was “meditating”, adding yet another name.(很快，这张长椅吸引了其他邻居。有一天，有人从人行道上喊道：“你们在那张长椅上做什么？” 反应敏捷的唐娜大声回答：“这是我们的‘思考椅’！我们会思考生活中发生的重要事情。”后来，这个名字逐渐有了新的变化——有位邻居独自坐在上面陷入沉思后，称它为“决策椅”；还有一次，唐娜在上面打盹被发现，她坚称自己在“冥想”，又为长椅添了一个新名字)”可知，长椅的不同名字源于不同使用者在长椅上的不同行为活动。有人思考、有人做决定、有人打盹称冥想，名字随这些行为而产生。故选D。 (3)题解析： 细节理解题。根据末段首句“When I glimpsed it a few times over the next months, the bench sat lonely, holding empty flower pots, and some flat, old boxes.(在接下来的几个月里，我几次瞥见这张长椅，它孤零零地待在那里，上面放着空花盆和一些扁平的旧箱子)”可知，长椅冬日里沦为摆放杂物的工具，不再发挥其原本的作用。提及花盆和箱子，正是为了体现长椅此时未被用于原本的用途。故选C。 (4)题解析： 推理判断题。根据首段“Last spring, my neighbor Donna and I, both in our seventies, spent several hours in the glorious sunshine enjoying the new season. When it was time to sit down and relax, Donna pulled out her red metal chair from her garage, and I sat on an overturned plastic bucket. It was fun to catch up on the news that we had missed during the long winter indoors.(去年春天，我和邻居唐娜都已年过七旬，我们在明媚的阳光下待了好几个小时，惬意迎接这崭新的季节。到了坐下歇息的时候，唐娜从车库搬出她那把红色的金属椅子，我则坐在一个倒扣的塑料桶上。聊着我俩在漫长冬日里宅家错过的家长里短，这样的时光别提多惬意了)”、第三段内容“Soon, the bench attracted other neighbors. One day, someone called out from the sidewalk, “What do you do on that bench?” Quick-thinking Donna shouted back, “It’s our ‘Thinking Bench’! We think about important things happening in our lives.” Then, the name gradually evolved—after one neighbor sat alone deep in thought, he declared it a “Decision-Making Bench”; another time, when Donna was caught napping, she insisted she was “meditating”, adding yet another name.(很快，这张长椅吸引了其他邻居。有一天，有人从人行道上喊道：“你们在那张长椅上做什么？” 反应敏捷的唐娜大声回答：“这是我们的‘思考椅’！我们会思考生活中发生的重要事情。”后来，这个名字逐渐有了新的变化——有位邻居独自坐在上面陷入沉思后，称它为“决策椅”；还有一次，唐娜在上面打盹被发现，她坚称自己在“冥想”，又为长椅添了一个新名字)”以及末段末句“But now after a long winter, spring flowers are ready to bloom in the warm sunshine, and we neighbours are ready to welcome “The Bench” back into our lives.(但如今漫长的冬日已逝，春花即将在暖阳中绽放，我们这些邻居也准备好迎接 “这张长椅” 重新回到我们的生活中)”可推断，长椅最初是作者和唐娜的聊天座椅，随后吸引了其他邻居，被赋予多种充满生活气息的名字，成为邻里间互动的载体。冬日长椅被收进车库闲置，春日来临所有邻居都满心期待它的回归。因此，长椅串联起邻里间的交流与温情，成为邻里之间情感联结的纽带。故选A。 主题语境01 人与社会-历史、社会与文化 Passage 1 （25-26高一上·河北石家庄第二中学·期中）American mountaineer Jim Morrison made history this week when he put on his skis and carefully moved his way down one of Mount Qomolangma’s most dangerous mountain sides. He is the first person to ski the Hornbein Couloir, a high, narrow gully (陡坡) on the mountain’s North Face. The groundbreaking adventure marked the completion of years of planning and training. Morrison had attempted (尝试) to ski the Hornbein Couloir twice before — once in 2023 and again in 2024 — but was unsuccessful. This year, Morrison spent more than six weeks on Mount Qomolangma, getting used to the mountain and waiting for a suitable weather window. There were 11 other mountaineers with him. Around 6 a.m. on October 15, Morrison and his teammates began their climb. They reached the top at 12:45 p.m. After taking a few photos, most of the team began carefully climbing back. Meanwhile, Morrison got ready and started skiing. The trip took him four hours and five minutes. At one point, he reached a point that was completely devoid of snow and ice, so he had to take off his skis and lower himself for about 650 feet. He had a short rest at Camp Three, and then kept going. When Morrison finally reached Camp One, he was in tears. “I’d attempted so much and faced so much danger, but I was alive,” he says. Mountaineers have skied other routes (线路) on Mount Qomolangma, but never the Hornbein Couloir. Since it’s on the mountain’s north side, the Hornbein Couloir is often shaded from the sun. As a result, it remains covered in snow and ice well into the fall. French snowboarder Marco Siffredi attempted the Hornbein Couloir in September 2002. But after he dropped into the gully, he was never seen again. Other attempts have been made since then, but no one was successful until Morrison. 1.What was Jim Morrison’s groundbreaking achievement? A. He skied the Hornbein Couloir twice. B. He spent over six weeks getting to the top. C. He reached the top of Mount Qomolangma. D. He became the first Hornbein Couloir skier. 2.What does the underlined part “devoid of” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Full of. B. Covered by. C. Free from. D. Mixed with. 3.Which can best describe the skiing route of the Hornbein Couloir? A. Most popular. B. Highly challenging. C. Beginner-friendly. D. Sun-bathed. 4.Why does the author mention Marco Siffredi in the last paragraph? A. To prove Marco’s bravery. B. To honor this famous snowboarder. C. To show Morrison’s success was hard-won. D. To introduce the history of mountain skiing. 【答案】1. D　2. C　3. B　4. C 【解析】【导语】 这是一篇记叙文。讲述了美国登山家Jim Morrison成为首位滑下珠穆朗玛峰Hornbein Couloir陡坡的人，完成了这项具有开创性的成就。 (1)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第一段“He is the first person to ski the Hornbein Couloir, a high, narrow gully on the mountain’s North Face.

It began when 71-year-old Brazilian fisherman Joao found an oil-covered penguin on a Rio de Janeiro beach, close to death. The kindhearted fisherman knew that he could not simply walk away from the poor penguin. So Joao cleaned the oil off the penguin’s feathers and nursed it back to health. He started taking care of the poor penguin and fed it with fish to recover the energy it had lost. Soon, he decided to name his newfound friend Dindim. Right after Dindim was able to recover, Joao attempted to release the penguin back into the sea. However, Dindim would not leave his side.

Chen showed athletic talent from childhood and trained in high jump and long jump in his school years. After graduating from college, he began working as a bank clerk. But his passion for dunk never died away. So in his spare time, he’d go to a nearby court for dunk practice. The turning point of his life came in 2011 at an amateur dunk contest, where Cha Tianyi, founder of China’s dunk team told him, “With your bounce and explosiveness, you don’t belong behind a bank counter.” Cha’s encouragement and guidance set him on the path to becoming a professional dunker.

Each of her objects had its place, but mine always hid somewhere. She even labeled (贴标签) everything. I always looked for everything. Over time, Kate got neater and I got messier. She would push my dirty clothing over, and I would lay my books on her tidy desk. We both got tired of each other. War broke out one evening. Kate came into the room. Soon, I heard her screaming, “Take your shoes away! Why under my bed!” Deafened, I saw my shoes flying at me. I jumped to my feet and started yelling. She yelled back louder. The room was filled with anger. We could not have stayed together for a single minute but for a phone call. Kate answered it. From her end of the conversation, I could tell right away her grandma was seriously ill. When she hung up, she quickly crawled (爬) under her covers, sobbing. Obviously, that was something she should not go through alone. All of a sudden, a warm feeling of sympathy rose up in my heart. Slowly, I collected the pencils, took back the books, made my bed, cleaned the socks and swept the floor, even on her side. I got so into my work that I even didn’t notice Kate had sat up. She was watching, her tears dried and her expression one of disbelief. Then, she reached out her hands to grasp mine. I looked up into her eyes. She smiled at me, “Thanks. ” Kate and I stayed roommates for the rest of the year. We didn’t always agree, but we learned the key to living together: giving in, cleaning up and holding on. 1.What made Kate angry one evening? A. She couldn’t find her books. B.

He’s a cyclist who also buys and sells bikes as a hobby. About three years ago, he was looking for a bike for his wife. He found one on Craigslist, a website where people list things they want to sell. As he often did, he also looked at Bike Index, a popular website that allows users to register their bikes and post reports when they’re taken. The bike, which he was considering purchasing, clearly matched one reported stolen on Bike Index. Then he called the person who claimed (声称) to be the bike’s owner and arranged to meet him — supposedly to complete the sale. When the two men met, Batman told the thief, “You’ve got two options. You can wait until a police officer gets here, or you can just get out of here.” You can imagine what the thief did. After that first success, Bike Batman developed a safer routine. When he sees questionable bike ads on Craigslist, he cross-references the image with bikes reported on Bike Index. Once he has checked and confirmed (确认) it with the owner, he arranges a meet-up with the thief and will call the Seattle police department so that officers can participate in the action. In more than half of the 22 cases in which he has got back and returned bikes, the thieves have been arrested (逮捕). In one case, Bike Batman even helped a family recover a wide range of prized possessions that suspects (嫌疑犯) had stolen during a home burglary (入室盗窃). His nickname came from a discussion with a police officer who suggested he be called “Robin Hood”. Since he wasn’t exactly stealing from the rich and giving to the poor, “Batman” seemed a better fit. The idea of a superhero punishing criminals (罪犯) feels pretty silly to him, but the main reason he continues his work is to keep up Seattle’s fame as a friendly city. 1.What will Bike Batman first do when discovering a questionable bike? A. He’ll contact the real bike owner. B. He’ll arrange to meet the thief. C. He’ll call the police department. D. He’ll look up the bike’s information. 2.What does the underlined word “cross-reference” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Compare. B. Post. C. Provide. D. Beautify. 3.Bike Batman helps find the lost bikes to __________. A. become famous B. help poor people C. punish bike thieves D. build a harmonious city 4.What can we learn from the passage? A. The police failed to perform their duties. B. He found it silly to see the thieves arrested. C. Bike Batman began his good actions by accident. D. The thieves were usually unwilling to return the bikes. Passage 3 （25-26高一上·河北唐山开滦第一中学·期中）My good friend, George, was influenced by his parents, who are some of the best examples of giving, whether they get paid or not. When I was a little child, I joined George and his mom in going to Erin’s house, bringing food and daily supplies with us. Obviously, Erin’s family faced economic trouble and could hardly afford food. George and I took several bags of things to the door, rang the bell and ran off. Erin still doesn’t know to this day who did that. Since then, I’ve always given whatever I could afford to help the people in need. You never knew what my act would lead the people in need to do. A few years ago, I came across a homeless man begging for money to get bread at a bus stop. I could have ignored him, but I felt sorry for him and pulled out my wallet. I only had $ 20 in my hand. I was just a college student. However, I handed him the money, and he promised me that he’d find a job to make a living. When I got on the bus, he smiled at me and said,“I’ll remember you forever!”I also smiled. It totally made my day, and I would also never forget his face. Later, I lent my phone to one boy to call his family and managed to help his worried mother find a job online. Though an act of kindness toward anyone can seem like no big deal to me and cost me nearly nothing, I believe in the effects it can have on other people. Hopefully, they still have faith in humanity. It’s the kind of interaction that is more valuable than money. Since doing good is within our power, let’s help out more. 1.What made the author start helping others? A. The request from Erin. B. The request from George’s parents. C. His childhood experience of doing good with George. D. His past experience of giving money to the homeless. 2.How does the author develop paragraph 3? A. By giving reasons. B. By giving examples. C. By making suggestions. D. By making comparisons. 3.What is the author’s purpose in writing the last paragraph? A. To call on people to do good. B. To explain doing good costs nothing. C. To advise people to remember others’ help. D. To show interaction is as valuable as money. 4.What is the best title for the text? A. Give to Get Paid B. Try to Make My Day C. A Big Deal with the Honest D. The Power of Kindness Passage 4 （25-26高一上·河北沧州泊头市八县·期中）Thanks to a high school robotics team, a tiny dog named Kanga-Roo who lost her front two legs at birth is walking on her own. The tiny dog, called “Roo” for short, first made news when she was dropped off at the Heart of Louisiana Humane Society in late 2023. Without her front legs, she had to adapt (适应) to jumping on her back legs for moving around. So the Steel Eagles Robotics Team at Holy Savior Menard Central High School in Louisiana put their minds to work and began building a special type of wheelchair that gives Roo two wheels in place of her front legs. For the students, seeing their design work in real life was an exciting experience. The team fitted Roo with her first wheelchair in October 2023 using a 3D printer. The dog ran into trouble while learning how to walk in the new setup, but she has adapted well. She has already outgrown her first wheelchair and is working on her second. The team will keep building new sizes until Roo is fully grown. The students and the Humane Society members have been working to teach Roo how to use her wheelchair. While she hasn’t mastered it yet, she is getting close. “She was scared at first but she’s getting more comfortable in it and it has become a lot easier for her to move freely,” the organization’s president, Kristy Royall, said. “It’s wonderful to see technology used in such a caring way,” she added. Kanga-Roo’s wheelchair is one of many projects the Steel Eagles Robotics Team has built for people or animals in need. According to coach Tonya Shepard, it is their goal to contribute to (做贡献) the community and do things that are actually helpful to the community. 1.What did the robotics team do for the dog Roo? A. They built a comfortable shelter for her. B. They taught her how to jump with back legs. C. They designed a movable wheelchair for her. D. They provided medical treatment for her legs. 2.What does the underlined word “outgrown” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Become larger than. B. Got tired of. C. Made use of. D. Looked forward to. 3.What does the author think of the team’s effort? A. It is challenging. B. It is meaningful. C. It is under-recognized. D. It is experimental. 4.Why does the robotics team undertake projects like Roo’s wheelchair? A. To win robotics competitions. B. To gain experience in animal care. C. To improve their 3D printing skills. D. To give back to their community. Passage 5 （25-26高一上·河北沧州泊头市八县·期中）Sammie Vance was just named one of PEOPLE’s Girls Changing the World, and she is only 12 years old. The seventh grader from Indiana is collecting bottle caps to make them into buddy benches (伙伴长椅) for her school and neighborhood parks. But these benches are more than just for sitting; they’re to help kids find friends. Sammie learned about buddy benches at a camp she attended one summer. At the camp there were benches set up for when a child felt lonely; they would sit down, which means that they are in need of a friend. She said, “I’m like, ‘This would be really cool to have at my school.’” Then she sprang into action by meeting with her headmaster to present her idea. Sammie used a cartoon picture that she created to show how a simple bench could help classmates understand when one of their own needed a friend. The adults were surely impressed by her idea but were also impressed with how she planned on making the benches. Sammie and her mom Heidi found a company called Green Tree Plastics that could turn recycled (回收利用的) plastic caps into benches. These recycled benches cost much less than normal park benches and are good for the environment according to Sammie’s website. Then, she got to work and held a community-wide event, asking members to donate (捐赠) their old bottle caps. The event alone collected 1,600 pounds (725 kilograms) of caps and with that, she created three benches for her school. Sammie continued her efforts and enlarged her project to create more benches. Now officially called Sammie’s Buddy Bench Project, the project has a Facebook page for others to follow her journey and make bottle cap donations. Today, Sammie has set up 200 recycled benches in schools, neighborhoods and even local community centers. She has no plans of stopping. “For me, it’s seeing people who need a friend — whether they’re 8 or 80 — because I’ve been lonely myself. I don’t want others to feel that way,” she told PEOPLE. 1.What caused Sammie to start the project? A. Her wish to win a national prize. B. Her personal experience at a camp. C. The encouragement from her headmaster. D. The donation from an environmental company. 2.What is a buddy bench used to do? A. Serve as a piece of artistic decoration. B. Show a need for companionship. C. Provide a place for outdoor reading. D. Push for using recycled things. 3.What does Sammie believe about the buddy bench according to the last paragraph? A. Its role applies to all age groups. B. It is mainly suitable for school children. C. Its design requires further improvement. D. It is most needed in her local community. 4.Which of the following can best describe Sammie? A. Caring and creative. B. Self-centered and disorganized. C. Cool-headed and strict. D. Brave and humorous. 主题语境03 人与自我-做人与做事 （25-26高一上·湖北利川第一中学·期中）After a long teaching day, I saw someone searching for a lost key between the seats on a crowded bus. Strangely, my first thought was to ask ChatGPT. This surprised me and made me wonder: What did I think of AI? Could it really help? Since ChatGPT appeared, teachers have different views. At first, I found it very useful. It offered me lesson ideas and saved me time. Students used it to understand difficult topics and get writing tips. But I noticed problems. One student couldn’t remember facts ChatGPT gave him. Another used it to make his writing look smarter, but lost his own style. Using AI for work meant students missed chances to improve their own ideas by revising. I told them: Use AI to help improve your writing, not to do it for you. I also started using pen and paper more for lesson planning. It was slower, but my ideas felt more real and truly mine. This reminded me that the process of thinking is often more important than just the final result. And as a result, I’d managed to think more clearly. In a world increasingly led by speed, I learned the best ideas often need time and focus. I’m not against AI, but I need to adjust (调节) its role in my life. My goal is to keep what’s important in teaching: curiosity, critical thinking, and solving problems without always taking shortcuts. I hope my students will, too. 1.What did the author do when seeing someone looking for a key on the bus? A. He reported it to the police. B. He joined in the search for it. C. He turned a blind eye to it. D. He turned to ChatGPT for help. 2.Why does the author mention his students in paragraph 3? A. To tell they are smart. B. To tell how AI helps them. C. To show the problems AI brings. D. To prove his teaching job successful. 3.What did the author think of planning his lessons by using pen and paper more? A. It wasted too much of his time. B. It was good for his thinking. C. It allowed him to get answers quickly. D. It led to losing good teaching methods. 4.What is the author’s attitude towards using AI? A. Careful. B. Hopeless. C. Unclear. D. Negative. 主题语境04 人与自我-生活与学习 Passage 1 （25-26高一上·福建漳州第一中学-11月·期中）This year, I did something I’d never done — shopping at midnight on Black Friday after Thanksgiving. After all, you can get great deals online from the comfort of your bed over a hot cup of coffee. So why would I stand in traffic, cold weather, and crowds for a few bargains (特价商品)? For my teenagers, spending time with Mum is usually down on their list next to homework and picking up the dog waste. So, when they asked me to take them shopping at the mall at midnight on Black Friday, my first reaction (反应) was surely no! But my son, who usually runs the other way if I mention shopping, wanted me to take him shopping. I felt needed, though I knew it was my wallet and a ride, not quality (高质量的) time with Mum that they wanted. Then the hour-long car ride. We followed songs on the radio and talked about the deals we hoped to get. I had chances to give them lessons on what not to do when driving, but I had to keep the peace. And we all connected as we sat with crazed smiles at midnight. The kids were excited once we finally reached the busy parking lot. There was something about standing in a line that snaked around the building in the freezing cold that brought people together. Once inside, we had to work as a team, hoping to come together with just the right size and colour. As I dug through mountains of clothing for a special shirt for my husband and gave up, my daughter came towards me, shirt in hand and victory on her face. “I got the last one!” So we ended up at 3 a.m. with some bargains. Nothing we couldn’t have found online or in stores at a reasonable hour. But for me, I got quality time with my kids. Driving home tired, looking in the mirror at my children’s sweet faces, I decided, “If they ask me to again next year, I’m in.” 1.What did the kids need to do according to the author? A. Buy things online with comfort. B. Take a cup of coffee comfortably. C. Shop with their mother’s money. D. Spend quality time with the family. 2.How did the author communicate with her kids during the drive to the mall? A. She shared their excitement. B. She taught them some songs. C. She taught them shopping tips. D. She gave them lessons on driving. 3.Why did the daughter show victory on her face? A. She had worked as a team member. B. She had searched out her clothes. C. She had been in line to see a snake. D. She had found a shirt for her father. 4.How did the author find her shopping experience? A. Tiring. B. Enjoyable. C. Heart-broken. D. Money-wasting. Passage 2 （25-26高一上·福建莆田第一中学·期中）The pupils in Paula Merrigan’s kindergarten (幼儿园) class often call her Mom, or sometimes even Grandma, partly because Merrigan ensures all the children are greeted with a big smile when they enter the classroom in the morning. She works with every single one of them one-on-one at some point during the day, and she’s generous with praise, hugs, and affection. “When small children tell you they love you, say it back to them,” said the teacher. “It’s important for every child to feel their teacher cares about them and that school is always a secure place to stay. When they know you truly care about them, they want to do their best for you, because they’re seeking your approval.” Merrigan also lets the children tell her their stories to learn what they’re passionate about. “When you learn about certain things they like and tie them to your topic, they love it,” she said. “Maybe the children told you that they really like dinosaurs so when you’re teaching the letter ‘D’, you create a dinosaur art project to go with it.” Given that separation anxiety hits many youngsters hard when they enter the kindergarten classroom, how children feel at the beginning of their schooling can set the tone for the rest of their academic life, experts say. “This is important for little ones because this is often the first time that they’re experiencing formal education,” said Hedy Chang, executive director of Attendance Works, a nonprofit working to boost student attendance. “What happens during this time can help lay the foundation for social and academic success.” Researchers found students of all ages who miss an excessive amount of school often suffer from mental issues. They may need to feel nurtured, experts say. “To the degree that parents keep kids home from school because the kids say they don’t want to go,” said Deborah Stipek, an expert from Stanford University, “children’s relationship with the teacher should be an important factor.” Merrigan, who herself remembers faking being sick a few times as a child, couldn’t agree more. 1.What is Merrigan’s class like? A. Warm, supportive, and engaging. B. Comfortable, quiet and test-score-driven. C. Loving and teacher-centered. D. Caring and focused on personal work. 2.Why does Merrigan listen to her students’ personal stories? A. To learn about children’s behavior patterns. B. To help with exact grading and assessments (评价). C. To easily manage possible classroom differences. D. To make her students more focused on her lessons. 3.What is the best title for the passage? A. Managing Parental Separation Anxiety. B. attendance and Academic (学业的) Achievement. C. Creative Kindergarten Teaching Methods. D. Developing Emotional Connections in Kindergartens. 主题语境01 人与社会-历史、社会与文化 Passage 1 （25-26高一上·浙江丽水发展共同体-11月·期中）For all my seventeen years, New York City has been my home. It’s a place of energy, though often seen as cold and distant. Yet, personal connections can still happen here. One cold November, my high school soccer team was heading home to Manhattan after a game in the Bronx. Twenty of us piled onto the D train, loud and full of energy, filling the car with our talking and laughter. To pass the time on the long ride, we started singing loudly, our excitement making up for our lack of musical talent. Our noise was met with mostly unhappy looks from the other passengers. Then, an old homeless man with worn-out clothes and a calm and respectful manner entered the car. He announced he would sing a few songs. While most people ignored him, we watched closely. He began with “Joy to the World.” His strong and clear voice was so moving that we found ourselves joining in. The atmosphere (气氛) in the car changed; people who had been keeping to themselves now listened, enjoying this special moment. He sang a few more songs, including one of his own, and was met with applause. For his final song, he chose “God Bless America.” This time, not just our group, but everyone in the car joined in singing. The powerful, united singing drew people from other subway cars to ours. I saw a woman holding a baby, singing with tears streaming down her cheeks. In that moment, a group of strangers — reserved New Yorkers, high school girls, and a homeless man — came together through songs, allowing our voices and hearts to become one. It is a moment whose power will stay with me forever. 1.What do people often think of New Yorkers? A. They are always in a hurry. B. They care little about others. C. They are proud of their soccer teams. D. They are concerned about the homeless. 2.Why did we begin to sing on the D train? A. To show off their beautiful voice. B. To cover the loud noise of the D train. C. To kill the time during the long ride. D. To attract the attention of other passengers. 3.How did the atmosphere change after the old man started singing? A. It remained largely unchanged. B. It became more silent and serious. C. It became strange and uncomfortable. D. It became warmer and more united. 4.What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To explain the rules of behavior on the D train. B. To discuss the musical talent of the homeless man. C. To tell the story of an unexpected human connection. D. To describe the challenges of living in New York. Passage 2 （25-26高一上·江西师范大学附属中学-11月·期中）On my way back home I was stopped at a traffic light by some people who asked for help. A woman—in her attempt to give way to an ambulance—had driven her car over stony obstacles that separated the bike line from the street, and had gotten her car stuck as a result. She couldn't move the car in any direction without damaging it. A couple of people tried to lift the car back but the obstacles were too high. Seeing that they couldn't do much about it, they left and the woman in the car tried to call for some service. While watching the other people leave, I realized the woman would be on her own and I imagined how uncomfortable that would be if I were in her shoes. After some talking, she understood what my purpose was and invited me to sit inside her car. She called for service and was told that it would take about 45 minutes for someone to get there. I wasn't in a hurry, so I informed my partner about the situation and that I would be later and then tried to comfort the woman who seemed to feel stressed about causing others trouble. But actually it wasn't too much trouble since they could still pass, and also there wasn't anything she could do about it anyway. We laughed and joked that all we needed was some tea for our picnic. Finally assistance came and helped her back on the street. She thanked me and asked for my phone number so she could return the favor, but I told her it was okay. She seemed to feel much better when we said our goodbyes. I believe that not having to face a difficult situation alone can make a difference. 1.What happened to the woman when she avoided an ambulance? A. Her car hit stony obstacles. B. Her car got stuck in the street. C. Her car hit a couple of people. D. Her car turned over in the street. 2.Why did a couple of people leave without lifting the car back? A. The woman was unwilling to pay them. B. The woman was afraid to damage her car. C. They couldn't move the car because of the high obstacles. D. They couldn't leave things as they were until the police arrived. 3.What's the author's purpose inside the woman's car? A. To help fix her car. B. To help drive her car. C. To share some tea with her. D. To offer spiritual comfort. 4.Which of the following can best describe the author? A. Brave and cautious. B. Enthusiastic and kind. C. Knowledgeable and calm. D. Ambitious and professional. Passage 3 （25-26高一上·福建龙岩一校盟·期中）People start new businesses for different reasons. Sometimes they have a great idea. Other times, they decide to make a living by doing something they enjoy. For Eli Reich, his business began when someone stole his bike bag. Reich was an engineer in Seattle. Because he cared about the environment, he biked to work every day. He carried his work and his laptop in a bike bag. When someone took his bag, he tried to buy a new one. But he couldn’t find one he liked. So he decided to make his own. Riding a bike every day leads to lots of tire punctures. As a result, he had plenty of used inner tubes in his apartment. Inner tubes are the inside part of a bike tire. They are soft, flexible, and feel like leather; they are also waterproof, so things inside won’t get wet even on rainy days, which are all perfect qualities for a bag. His friends loved his new bag. Soon, his bike bag was in great demand. Reich quit his job and started his own business-Alchemy Goods. At first, he depended on his friends for inner tubes. But business was good, and he quickly ran short of these tubes. He needed a new supply. So he asked local bike stores to send him used inner tubes instead of throwing them away. To date, he has used over 300,000 inner tubes. Each bag uses as many recycled products as possible. Reich’s goal is to use 100 percent recycled materials. Reich emphasizes that he uses recycled materials, but he creates high-quality products. Recycling turns waste into reusable things. Upcycling transforms waste into a better quality product. Alchemy Goods bags are not cheap. Each bag is handmade. Using recycled materials keeps the cost down, but labor is expensive. Each bag sells for around $130. Creating a business out of other people’s trash is a growing trend. Reich joins thousands of small business owners who are taking advantage of the trash that Americans throw away every year. 1.Why did Reich start his business? A. His concern for the environment. B. The theft of his bike bag. C. His dislike of his engineering job. D. His friends’ encouragement. 2.The underlined word “waterproof” probably means ________. A. easy to wash B. simple to make C. quick to dry D. able to keep water out 3.Where does Reich get most of his materials now? A. From his friends. B. From new factories. C. From local bike stores. D.

This condition affected his joints (关节), making it increasingly difficult for him to do everyday tasks. “My hands are not shaped properly and I can’t manipulate them normally,” Miller wrote to the company where he worked. “I can no longer use normal computer keyboards and it’s hard for me to even hold a pen anymore.” Miller’s condition quickly got worse, leading him to lose his job. Unable to afford the apartment, he had to live on the street. However, in 2018, he began to turn his life around. “I was trying to ask for help and get out of my situation. I had a phone, but typing on regular (常规的) keyboards was difficult. So I looked for different smartphone keyboards. I found Typewise by accident,” Miller recalled. He was very thankful for the Typewise smartphone keyboard, which he found much easier to use. It helped him “get his life back” by allowing him to communicate with people, get an apartment, and even a job. “Since I could type on my phone again, I used social media to contact an organization that helps people with disabilities,” Miller said. “Now I have a part-time job taking care of dogs and cats. I can’t work full time due to my physical problems, but at least I have something to do and look forward to.” 1.What happened to Miller when he was 26? A. He broke his hand joints. B.

For a moment, he seems to hang in the air. Then, he pushes the ball down through the basket — a slam dunk (扣篮)! His career may look like a slam dunk, being a national champion at the University of Connecticut, and setting beginner records with the Toronto Raptors. However, life wasn’t always easy for him. His success comes not only from his basketball skills but also from how he dealt with a skin disease called alopecia areata (斑秃), which isn’t infectious. It happens when the body’s immune system goes wrong and attacks its own hair-growing cells. Charlie was affected at age 10 and lost all his hair by age 12. This made him a target for bullying (欺凌), leading him to shut away from others and hide under caps and hoods. With the support of his mother, Charlie found refuge in basketball. He turned his depression and stress into motivation, improving his skills to the point where his gift became more important than his condition. The bullying stopped, and his basketball career took off. All along the way, Charlie has continuously applied himself to helping others. Ever since his first year as a new player, he has served as a spokesperson for the National Alopecia Areata Foundation, and went on to set up the Charlie Villanueva Foundation, an organization aimed at supporting families with children suffering from alopecia and stopping all forms of bullying. As the son of immigrants from the Dominican Republic, he has even worked towards ending poverty in that country. Charlie encourages young people to accept their individuality and have confidence in themselves. “We’re all unique in our own ways,” he says, encouraging them to remember that with dedication and self-belief, any dream is within reach. 1.Why is Charlie’s slam dunk mentioned in Paragraph 1? A. To compare him with other champions. B. To explain how a slam dunk is performed. C. To highlight his skills and achievements. D. To show a specific moment in a game. 2.What made Charlie avoid his classmates? A. An infectious skin disease. B. His being made fun of. C. An error in the immune system. D. His average ability to play basketball. 3.Which of the following best describes Charlie? A. Strong-willed and helpful. B. Strict and responsible. C. Warm-hearted and humorous. D. Independent and creative. 4.What message does the author want to express in the text? A. Luck often comes to those who are ready. B. Actions speak louder than words. C. A thousand -mile journey begins with the first step. D. What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. Passage 6 （25-26高一上·湖北利川第一中学·期中）Jane Goodall is a name deeply connected with wildlife protection. Her groundbreaking work, which began in 1960 in Tanzania’s Gombe Stream National Park, completely changed scientists’ ideas about how smart animals are and what makes humans unique. Without a college degree at first, Goodall used great patience and an open mind to study chimpanzees (黑猩猩). She didn’t see them just as animals, but as individuals with their own personalities, feelings, and social lives. A key moment came when a chimpanzee she named David Greybeard allowed her to watch him closely. She saw him change a twig (小枝) by removing its leaves and use it to “fish” for termites (白蚁). This was an important discovery because, at that time, scientists believed only humans could make and use tools. This finding challenged the idea that humans were completely different from other animals. As the well-known anthropologist (人类学家) Louis Leakey said, it forced science to rethink the definition of “human.” Over time, Goodall formed close friendships with the chimpanzees, especially with a mother named Flo and her family. These strong personal connections allowed her to see into their world and deeply understand their family life and social behavior. Her unusual path — earning a PhD from Cambridge University without first getting a bachelor’s degree — showed her strong devotion. Knowing she needed to do more, she started the Jane Goodall Institute (JGI) in 1977. This organization leads global protection efforts and runs youth programs like “Roots & Shoots,” while also supporting women in science. Jane Goodall’s legacy (传承) goes far beyond her scientific discoveries. She showed the world that animals have complex emotions and intelligence, which helps people respect nature more. Even into her nineties, she continued to encourage people to protect wildlife and the environment around them. Through her life’s work, Goodall taught us that understanding and valuing other species is important for the health of our planet and for our own humanity. 1.Why is Jane Goodall’s work called “groundbreaking”? A. Changed views on animal intelligence. B. Proved all animals use tools. C. Created new research methods. D. Showed women can be scientists. 2.How did Goodall discover chimpanzees using tools? A. By reviewing existing theories. B. By doing experiments. C. By watching David Greybeard. D. By contacting local guides. 3.What does Goodall’s bond with Flo show? A. Long-term studies are effective. B. Tool usage requires long learning. C. A PhD degree ensures discovery. D. Emotional connection deepens research. 4.How does the text develop its main idea about Goodall? A. By comparing different research methods. B. By moving from discovery to influence. C. By listing life events in time order. D. By focusing on early African research 主题语境02 人与社会-社会服务与人际沟通 （25-26高一上·浙江杭州西湖区绿城育华·期中）Orion Jean is a kid on a mission. His goal is to spread kindness and inspire others to do the same. It all started last year when Orion’s elementary school teacher suggested that the then 9-year-old enter the National Kindness Speech Contest. “I decided that I was just going to give it a shot and see how it would go,” Orion tells us. He gave a speech about how kindness could “change a nation,” and won the competition, receiving a $500 cash prize. He quickly realized he wasn’t going to use all of that money. “I’m a kid,” he says, “I have everything that I could ever want. But there are people who don’t.” Orion, who says his parents always taught him that “kindness is a virtue that we should all try to possess,” came up with the idea of the Race to Kindness campaign — a series of events to help others. Orion describes the campaign as “just an idea where I would spread kindness and people would be able to join the race by spreading kindness in their own communities.” He decided to start by helping children with health problems in the hospital, saying, “What better way to amuse a kid than a toy?” So, he used his winnings to buy as many toys as possible and launched a toy fair to gather more. He collected over 600 toys, which were donated to the Children’s Health Hospital in Dallas in 2021. But Orion was just getting started. After the toy fair, he launched an ambitious “Race to 100, 000 meals” to help food-insecure people in his community. Race to Kindness partnered with a local nonprofit organization to help get 100, 000 meals donated and to feed people who might not have had a meal for Thanksgiving. The result? “We were able to not only reach but also surpass our goal of 100, 000 meals,” he says. In May 2022, the kindness activist decided to launch “Race to 500, 000 Books” to help families who couldn’t afford books or live in “book deserts”. When asked why he thinks of books, “I’m a huge book fan,” Orion shares, “and studies show that children who have books in their homes do better academically.” 1.What does the underlined words “give it a shot” mean in Paragraph 2? A. Have a try. B. Give a hand. C. Get a big head. D. Have second thoughts. 2.What helps Orion bring about the idea of the Race to Kindness campaign? A. His great passion for racing. B. His unused toys all over the place. C. Family education from his childhood. D. Heartbreaking scenes in the hospital. 3.Which of the following can best describe the young boy Orion? A. Creative and childish. B. Kind and straightforward. C. Easy-going and sympathetic. D. Generous and ambitious. 4.What can be inferred about why Orion chose to start the “Race to Kindness” campaign with toys for children in hospitals? A. He believed toys could be a great way to bring happiness to ill children. B. He wanted to become famous by organizing a large toy collection event. C. His parents advised him to use toys because they are easy to gather. D. He thought it would be a quick way to spend his prize money. 主题语境03 人与自我-生活与学习 Passage 1 （25-26高一上·江西丰城第九中学·期中）Year-12 student Noah Little has already sat his first Chinese-speaking exam and said it was “the easiest exam I’ve ever done”. That view is not surprising given the Wagga High School student loves language — so much so he has built a Chinese translation app. Noah said his love of language was encouraged by his community. “Wagga is a place full of people from different cultures, and sometimes when I meet new people who have trouble speaking English I like to talk to them in their own language,” he said. “I also have a few Chinese friends so I think it will be cool to talk to them in their language.” The 17-year-old started teaching himself Chinese around five years ago, before taking distance education classes at the start of Year 11. His language ability was also useful in his part-time job at a local Chinese restaurant, where he translated orders for the cooks and customers. Noah said he also had a basic knowledge of seven other languages. It was while teaching himself languages that Noah got the idea of the translation tool. “I decided to make my own app because there weren’t many around — all the other apps were full of advertisements (广告) and the translation feature (功能) wasn’t powerful enough,” he said. His app also includes a word of the day feature, lessons on how to write Chinese characters (汉字) and a news feed of important Chinese news. He said learning computer programming (编程) to build the app had been like studying another language. With the end of school around the corner, Noah said he would like to pursue (追求) both his interests in computer programming and languages. “I’m planning to work for a year and save so I can go on to university as I really want to make a career (事业) out of one of these two topics.” 1.What do we know about Noah? A. He began to learn Chinese at 11. B. He failed his first Chinese exam. C. He likes teaching Chinese to people. D. He gets a lot from learning Chinese. 2.What are included in Noah’s app? A. Advertisements. B. Pieces of world news. C. Suggestions for memorizing words. D. Ways of writing Chinese characters. 3.What has Noah decided to do shortly after high school graduation? A. Look for a job. B. Attend university. C. Develop a new app. D. Learn more languages. 4.Which of the following can best describe Noah? A. Humorous and honest. B. Curious and creative. C. Courageous and caring. D. Outgoing and kind. Passage 2 （25-26高一上·辽宁锦州省重点中学·期中）Last summer, I went to France for a holiday. I was so excited but also a little nervous because my French was not good. One hot afternoon, after exploring the city, I felt really tired. I wanted to tell my French friend, Claire, “I am a little tired.” I carefully said the words I’d learned: “Je suis un pue fatigue.” But Claire burst out laughing. My face felt hot. What had I done wrong? Claire explained, “In French, there are words that sound similar but have very different meanings. ‘peu’ means ‘a little,’ but if you pronounce it differently, it can sound like ‘pue’, which means ‘stinks’ — like something smells bad. So, instead of saying you needed a rest, it sounded like you were saying you smelled bad and were tired” This awkward (尴尬的) moment was a real eye-opener for me. It made me realize just how daunting pronunciation can be in a foreign language. Even small differences in pronunciation can completely change the meaning of what you’re trying to say. The same is true in English, for example, “ship” (a large boat) and “sheep” (a woolly animal) sound very similar, but they mean totally different things. Now, I pay extra attention to how words sound and what they mean. And if I mix them up again? I’ll just laugh along. After all, laughing is part of learning — even if it’s a bit stinky sometimes. 1.Why was the author nervous about his holiday in France? A. He was poor at French. B. He never went abroad. C. He had no friends there. D. He was in short of money. 2.What awkward moment did the author meet? A. He got a wrong person. B. He made a pronunciation mistake. C. He was tricked by the locals. D. He spelt a word incorrectly. 3.What does the underlined word “daunting” in paragraph 4 most probably mean? A. Easy. B. Natural. C. Difficult. D. Clear. 4.How did the author’s experience in France affect him? A. He smelled bad and was tired. B. He hated learning foreign languages. C. He no longer considered Claire as a friend. D. He became open to mistakes in language learning. Passage 3 （25-26高一上·江西景德镇-11月·期中）In Jingdezhen, there’s a street-food stall that has become the talk of the town. The stall is run by Li Junyong, who sells delicious fried chicken cutlets. However, people flock to his stall not just for the tasty food. They come because his stall operates under some really clever and unique rules. Everyone affectionately calls him “Chicken Cutlet Bro”, and he has gained fame for his kind heart and smart business ideas. The most notable rule is designed for students. Every afternoon at 4:30, Mr. Li stops serving other customers and reserves that time exclusively for students from the nearby school. Why does he do this? He says he has made a promise to the students to always have a warm snack ready for them when their classes end. He believes that the students’ happiness is of great importance, so other patrons have to wait. Mr. Li also aims to be highly efficient. To save time, he has a signature phrase that all his customers know well. Politely, he always says, “Please open your plastic bag.” This simple request helps him pack the chicken cutlets more quickly, so the hungry students don’t have to wait for too long. It’s a small rule, but it makes a significant difference. And he even has an amusing rule regarding quality. If a chicken cutlet isn’t cooked to perfection, he gives it to the customer for free. He wants every customer to get the best — tasting food from his stall. These special rules make buying chicken cutlets from Mr. Li a fun and pleasant experience. Customers feel that they get more than just food; they also receive a smile and excellent service. His kind and clever rules have turned his small stall into the most popular spot in the town. 1.What word can be used to replace the underlined word in Paragraph 1? A. Seriously. B. Confidently. C. Lovingly. D. Curiously. 2.Which of the following statements about “Chicken Cutlet Bro” is right? A. He doesn’t serve patrons until 4:30. B. He cares about students very much. C. Customers come to his stall for excellent food and drinks. D. Customers don’t have to open their plastic bags by themselves. 3.Why does Mr. Li save time for students every afternoon at 4:30? A. To make more money. B. To attract more customers. C. To show off his efficiency. D. To keep a promise to students. 4.Which would be the best title for the passage? A. The best chicken cutlet ever B. The success of Chicken Cutlet Bro C. A famous city and its treasures D. The special rules of Chicken Cutlet Bro Passage 4 （25-26高一上·江西崇仁县第一中学-11月·期中）In the early days of motherhood, I felt lonely. I had left a good job to take care of my six-month-old son. Although I loved being with him, I missed talking to other adults and wanted to hear news from outside. I knew I needed to make friends with other mothers — but I didn’t know how. I often took my son, Ethan, to the grocery store, which wasn’t a good place to make friends. He enjoyed smiling at people and looking at colorful displays, but I needed more. “We have to find something better to do,” I thought. Then one day, my husband suggested going to the library. I loved reading but hadn’t had much time since Ethan was born. Maybe a good book could cheer me up. While at the library, I discovered the children’s area. There was a schedule of activities for children, including a playgroup for babies and toddlers (学步的儿童). I wasn’t sure if I would know anyone, but I decided to give it a try. The next week, Ethan and I went to the playgroup. I was nervous at first. Luckily, a friendly woman named Misty welcomed us. She introduced me to other moms, and we started talking about our children — their development, favorite foods, and sleep habits. I left feeling happy and hopeful about making new friends. After that, Ethan and I seldom missed a playgroup. As he grew older, we joined more activities like “Tot Time” and “Story Time.” Later, when his younger sister and brother were born, our schedule became even busier. Together, we learned about gardening, met animals from the local zoo, and played educational games. Most importantly, we all made new friends. I’m thankful for the moms I met at the library. We have similar backgrounds and children around the same age, so we can support and advise each other. When the children were younger, we met at different parks during summer. Now, we sometimes go out without the kids for dinner or shopping. We still join library activities together. I’m still amazed how one small brave step changed my life so much. My advice is: don’t be afraid to talk to other moms. You can meet them at the park, church, school, or the library. You might just make lifelong friends. 1.Why did the author feel lonely at the beginning of the story? A. She didn’t love her son. B. She missed her good job. C. She missed talking to other adults. D. She didn’t like staying at home at all. 2.What did the author discover in the children’s area of the library? A. A free toy shop. B. A playgroup for mothers. C. A new book for herself. D. A schedule of activities for children. 3.How did the author feel after the first playgroup? A. Happy and hopeful. B. Tired and bored. C. Nervous and annoyed. D. Determined but sad. 4.What is the main message of the story? A. Libraries are only for reading books. B. Mothers should always stay at home. C. Children don’t need friends when they are young. D. It’s important to be brave and try new things to make friends. Passage 5 （25-26高一上·福建漳州第三中学·期中）TAMPA, Fla,—At USF, 21-year-old Alexander Mercier of Odessa, majored in mathematics and microbiology, which leads him to start important research that may make him the school’s first Rhodes Scholar. “I would say I am stubborn,” explained Mercier, who could hear as early as Saturday if he gets the honor. He says the honor is due to more than just brains. Instead, it was determination that made him an accomplished pianist. He says his biggest natural talent was drawing and he also has a love of art. But it was math that attracted him and he wouldn’t let go. He was studying how math may help control the spread of diseases. “I would sleep on the couch next to the computer,” he said. “I saw a gap in epidemiological (流行病学的) research in the study of how diseases spread. I didn’t know at the time that it would become one of the most important topics in the world.” While his work is timely and important, there’s lots of competition. Eleven other finalists from this region of the country are also vying for the honor. They attend schools like MIT, Stanford and the University of Chicago. Mercier owes it to his school that he can have as good a chance as any of the others and he feels that USF has prepared him well. If he doesn’t win the honor and get to study expense-free at Oxford, he says he’ll have many options. “I will continue to do the work that I enjoy and that I think will benefit people,” he said. Some are surprised that USF hasn’t had a previous Rhodes Scholar. However, many schools haven’t had one. Only 32 are selected each year from across the nation. USF has only been in existence since 1956. By contrast, the first classes at Oxford were held in 1096. 1.Why did Mercier choose to major in mathematics and microbiology? A. He saw its bright future. B. He has a passion for math. C. He wants to win the honor. D. He is talented in this field. 2.Which expression can best replace the underlined phrase “vying for”? A. Hunting for. B. Applying for. C. Allowing for. D. Competing for. 3.What can we infer about Mercier? A. He will study art at Oxford. B. He tries to become a pianist. C. He is grateful to his school. D. He studies how diseases exist. 4.What does the passage mainly talk about? A. A senior could be USF’s first Rhodes Scholar. B. 32 students are selected for Rhodes Scholar. C. Math may help control the spread of diseases. D. A senior found the most vital topics in the world. Passage 6 （25-26高一上·福建莆田第一中学·期中）Two years ago, my 11-year-old son sat me down for a talk. “Mom, it’s time.” he said. “Hear me out: It’s time we got actual TV. And you need an iPhone.” This funny conversation two years ago marked a shift in our relationship. Perhaps for the first time, I began to really listen to my son’s opinion about our home technology. Since his reasoning was sensible and his suggestions within budget, I took his advice and was pleasantly surprised with the results. I’d known for a while that my son understands technology better than I do. On airplanes, he grabbed my phone to put it in airplane mode. He wired the speakers in our house. After something was stolen from our front yard, he picked out, set up, and now monitors our security camera. When my computer died, I took him shopping with me. As a teenager now, he has a busy social life, with skateboarding, basketball, and online gaming with his friends. I see our time together decreasing and our shared interests shrinking. That’s why I jumped at the chance when a friend mentioned writing technology reviews. I’m a writer, but I’d need a partner who has more tech knowledge than me. When I presented the idea to my teen, he immediately accepted It’s changed our relationship in surprising ways. Where he used to get annoyed quickly at my technical ignorance, he’s learned to be more patient and explain things to me in a way that I can convey to an unknowing audience. The parent-child dynamic is not only changed; it’s even slightly reversed — he’s leading me. I’m asking him for help and advice. My son has risen to the occasion. He’s taking it seriously, and to watch him mature in this way is an honor. As someone who’s not much of a reader, he now searches instruction book. Without any prompting, he’s even emailed and called, yes, made an actual phone call to customer service or tech support when sample products weren’t working as expected. I never imagined being a tech reviewer, but it’s proved to be a valuable way to learn from, work with and enjoy time with my teen. 1.What did the writer think of her son’s advice? A. It was unaffordable. B. It was beyond reach. C. It sounded reasonable. D. It sounded surprising. 2.What is mainly talked about in Paragraph 3? A. Prove her son’s better mastery of technology. B. Describe their close parent-child relationship. C. Give examples of her son’s interest in airplanes. D. Express her satisfaction of her son’s timely help. 3.Which is closest in meaning to the underlined word “reversed” in Paragraph 5? A. Unrealistic. B. Opposite. C. Negative. D. Common. 4.What makes the writer feel honored? A. Her son’s patience with their relationship. B. Her son’s attitudes to some unknown audiences. C. Her son’s growth and serious attitude to the work. D. Her son’s desire to change the parent-child dynamic. Passage 7 （25-26高一上·江西南昌第二中学·期中）Last spring, my neighbor Donna and I, both in our seventies, spent several hours in the glorious sunshine enjoying the new season. When it was time to sit down and relax, Donna pulled out her red metal chair from her garage, and I sat on an overturned plastic bucket. It was fun to catch up on the news that we had missed during the long winter indoors. However, over the next few days, it turned out that we needed more than a chair and a bucket which were not quite comfortable. Donna decided we needed a bench. After ruling out unsuitable options from local stores, she found a perfect one online. The next day it arrived. Excitedly, she opened the box and started putting it together. We proudly highfived each other as the pieces joined up and the bench started to look like one. After a few minutes’ assistance from a neighbour, it was assembled. What’s more, it was ideal for two 70-somethings to carry on late afternoon chats. Soon, the bench attracted other neighbors. One day, someone called out from the sidewalk, “What do you do on that bench?” Quick-thinking Donna shouted back, “It’s our ‘Thinking Bench’! We think about important things happening in our lives.” Then, the name gradually evolved — after one neighbor sat alone deep in thought, he declared it a “Decision-Making Bench”; another time, when Donna was caught napping, she insisted she was “meditating (冥想)”, adding yet another name. Last fall, with the temperature falling, our outdoor days come to an end. We were faced with one dilemma — what to do about it in the winter? Well, we sat down and thought and meditated and decided to put it in Donna’s garage for the winter. When I glimpsed it a few times over the next months, the bench sat lonely, holding empty flower pots, and some flat, old boxes. But now after a long winter, spring flowers are ready to bloom in the warm sunshine, and we neighbours are ready to welcome “The Bench” back into our lives. 1.Donna decided to replace the chair and bucket to ________. A. lighten the carrying load B. attract more neighbours C. get better seating for conversations D. adapt to warmer weather 2.How did the bench get its various names? A. From items placed on it. B. From seasonal discussions. C. From Donna’s creative ideas. D. From users’ activities on it. 3.Why are pots and boxes mentioned in the last paragraph? A. To suggest the flowers would soon be planted. B. To describe the bench’s practical use in winter. C. To show the bench was not serving its purpose. D. To explain why the bench needed winter storage. 4.What does “The Bench” represent by the end of the story? A. A symbol of community bonds. B. A marker of individual free time. C. A reminder of the past summer. D. A memory of a valued online order. 主题语境01 人与社会-历史、社会与文化 Passage 1 （25-26高一上·河北石家庄第二中学·期中）American mountaineer Jim Morrison made history this week when he put on his skis and carefully moved his way down one of Mount Qomolangma’s most dangerous mountain sides. He is the first person to ski the Hornbein Couloir, a high, narrow gully (陡坡) on the mountain’s North Face. The groundbreaking adventure marked the completion of years of planning and training. Morrison had attempted (尝试) to ski the Hornbein Couloir twice before — once in 2023 and again in 2024 — but was unsuccessful. This year, Morrison spent more than six weeks on Mount Qomolangma, getting used to the mountain and waiting for a suitable weather window. There were 11 other mountaineers with him. Around 6 a.m. on October 15, Morrison and his teammates began their climb. They reached the top at 12:45 p.m. After taking a few photos, most of the team began carefully climbing back. Meanwhile, Morrison got ready and started skiing. The trip took him four hours and five minutes. At one point, he reached a point that was completely devoid of snow and ice, so he had to take off his skis and lower himself for about 650 feet. He had a short rest at Camp Three, and then kept going. When Morrison finally reached Camp One, he was in tears. “I’d attempted so much and faced so much danger, but I was alive,” he says. Mountaineers have skied other routes (线路) on Mount Qomolangma, but never the Hornbein Couloir. Since it’s on the mountain’s north side, the Hornbein Couloir is often shaded from the sun. As a result, it remains covered in snow and ice well into the fall. French snowboarder Marco Siffredi attempted the Hornbein Couloir in September 2002. But after he dropped into the gully, he was never seen again. Other attempts have been made since then, but no one was successful until Morrison. 1.What was Jim Morrison’s groundbreaking achievement? A. He skied the Hornbein Couloir twice. B. He spent over six weeks getting to the top. C. He reached the top of Mount Qomolangma. D. He became the first Hornbein Couloir skier. 2.What does the underlined part “devoid of” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Full of. B. Covered by. C. Free from. D. Mixed with. 3.Which can best describe the skiing route of the Hornbein Couloir? A. Most popular. B. Highly challenging. C. Beginner-friendly. D. Sun-bathed. 4.Why does the author mention Marco Siffredi in the last paragraph? A. To prove Marco’s bravery. B. To honor this famous snowboarder. C. To show Morrison’s success was hard-won. D. To introduce the history of mountain skiing. Passage 2 （25-26高一上·辽宁沈阳第十中学·期中）A story of friendship between a human and a beast is familiar, but one between a man and a penguin is rare. It began when 71-year-old Brazilian fisherman Joao found an oil-covered penguin on a Rio de Janeiro beach, close to death. The kindhearted fisherman knew that he could not simply walk away from the poor penguin. So Joao cleaned the oil off the penguin’s feathers and nursed it back to health. He started taking care of the poor penguin and fed it with fish to recover the energy it had lost. Soon, he decided to name his newfound friend Dindim. Right after Dindim was able to recover, Joao attempted to release the penguin back into the sea. However, Dindim would not leave his side. If you are thinking that their one-of-a-kind friendship ended there, then you are in for a big surprise! Apparently, Dindim was so touched by the local fisherman’s kind gesture that it cannot forget about him and considered where he lives as its second home.

Instead, Lila just sat alone in a corner, picking at her clothes and never looking up when a teacher talked to her. The teacher suggested that Lila might struggle with socializing. Clara felt worried — she’d never noticed this before — and left the school with a heavy heart. As a nurse, Clara made a hard decision: she quit her job to fully focus on her daughter. She read many books and watched online videos to learn about kids who have trouble fitting in. “People like my daughter love repeating their behavior to calm themselves. Lila likes arranging her toys in a straight line over and over again. If she’s not troubling anyone, I let her be,” Clara says. Despite her efforts, some neighbors often judged her parenting (育儿). Clara faced unkind words, but she stayed patient. She kept a small notebook to record what upset or pleased Lila — loud noises scared her, but soft music made her smile. She also encouraged Lila to join activities like painting and planting flowers. Clara gave up the idea of “fixing” Lila. “I didn’t push her to talk more or play with others. I just wanted her to feel comfortable and grow in her own way,” she says. Today, Lila is more confident — she can say simple greetings, help water the flowers at home, and even share her paintings with the teacher. Clara and her friend started a small group called “Little Stars Shine Too”. They shared Lila’s stories online to help other parents. Clara also wrote a guidebook to support parents of children with special needs. For her, the key is acceptance. “When you stop trying to fit your child into a box, you open the door to a new world,” she says. 1.What caused Clara to leave the school with a heavy heart? A. Her regret at Lila’s performance. B. Her knowing about Lila’s condition. C. Her poor preparations for the interview. D. Her failure to meet Lila’s headteacher. 2.What’s a feature of people like Lila according to Clara? A. They are skilled at playing with toys. B. They are interested in specific activities. C. They keep calm by repeating the same action. D. They need special attention from their families. 3.How does Clara help her daughter Lila? A. By taking part in different activities. B. By creating a supportive environment. C. By working together with her neighbors. D. By reflecting on daily mistakes regularly. 4.Who is the text probably written for? A. Parents. B. Teachers. C. Nurses. D. Students. Passage 2 （25-26高一上·河北辛集中学·期中）I’m a seventeen-year-old boy preparing for my A Level exams at the end of the year. In the society where my peers (同龄人) and I live, we tend to accept the rat race values. As students, we want to get good grades so that we can get good jobs. I enjoy studying and have consistently received A’s in my classes. There was a year when I finished first in my class in the final exams. It was a great accomplishment. Another one I am pleased with is that I managed to improve the relationship between Mum and Dad. Dad was a successful businessman who was rarely at home. Mum was a housewife who always felt bored and constantly nagged (唠叨) him to let her go to work. Their constant arguing bothered me, so I advised Dad that Mum would be better off with a part-time job. He agreed, and their relationship has improved since then. My most proud achievement, however, is my successful work in the local old folks’ home. My grandparents had raised me since I was a child. I wept (哭泣) bitterly when they died. Unlike many of my classmates, I do not take part in my school's community service to earn points. I enjoy my voluntary work and believe I’m contributing to a worthwhile cause. This is where I can help. I talk to the elderly, assist them with their daily life, and listen to their problems, glory days and the hardships they experienced. Last year, I hosted a successful New Year party for the elderly and they enjoyed a great time. Many expressed a desire to attend another party the following year. When I reflect on my accomplishments, I’m especially proud of my service at the old folks’ home, so I hope to study social work at university and work as a social worker in the future. I wish to be more skilled in attending to the less fortunate as well as find great satisfaction in it, after all. 1.What can be inferred about the author from the first paragraph? A.

They often work with local governments to properly deal with any trash that is collected. My husband and I go to as many beach cleanups as we can. It is one of our favorite voluntary activities. You might not think that picking up trash sounds like fun. But cleaning up a beach, especially that with lots of trash, is very rewarding. A beach cleanup is a good way to help the environment, get exercise and meet new people. To clean so much trash might seem impossible on some beaches. But you can accomplish a lot in just a few hours with other volunteers. By the time you are done, you will be encouraged by the results. My first time joining a beach cleanup was in Costa Rica. Our group walked 30 minutes to a small beach called “Playa Basura”, meaning “trash beach” in Spanish. A lot of trash washes up on the beach there. The beach often looks like it is covered with colorful rocks. But the rocks are just small pieces of plastic. Most of the trash comes from other areas. It washes down rivers and into the ocean. Then the waves carry the trash to Playa Basura. Our group worked hard for about two hours and filled over 100 trash bags. The difference was amazing. But every year the rainy season brings more trash to Playa Basura. So, it is fortunate that there is a yearly cleanup at Playa Basura. Trash on other similar beaches won’t end until people stop trash from getting into the oceans. But every beach cleanup helps. 1.How does the author feel about a beach cleanup? A. Boring and fruitless. B. Stressful yet meaningful. C. Attractive and promising. D. Tough yet rewarding. 2.Why is “Playa Basura” mentioned in the text? A. To introduce a new topic. B. To offer background information. C. To serve as an example. D. To explain a concept. 3.What is the authors main purpose in writing the text? A. To encourage people to refuse plastic products. B. To call on more people to join beach cleanup. C. To show her concern about the beach pollution. D. To report on people’s efforts in beach cleaning. 4.Which can be a suitable title for the text? A. The Ocean Trash Cleanup B. The Government’s Fight with Trash C. The Challenges from Ocean Trash D. The Benefits of Beach Trash Cleanup / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
