The cashier was remarkably rude to me in a place that is typically known for having great customer service. I came away from the experience first thinking “What did I do to deserve this treatment…”. Then after some thought I came to the realization that this person was more than likely having a bad day and I just happen to be the one they let it out on. I decided to give the grocery chain another chance so I visited a different location on the other side of town. I was not familiar with the layout and asked an employee for help. They were so kind. I opened up about my past experience at the other location. She reassured me this was my new store and showed me where they kept the coffee. When I got to the register the folks helping me out were so kind, I mentioned the bad experience and how I’ve decided this was my new store. The gentleman helping me stepped away for a second and came back with a small handful of flowers and said “I know this isn’t much, but I wanted to give this to you.” It meant more than that man could ever know. I am a special-need mom and take my son with autism(自闭症)with me everywhere I go, I also carry around my toddler and with the two sometimes we can be really loud. I get lots of looks, questioning my chaos. This gentleman set all those insecurities aside and showed me in a simple way he cared and I was valued. It made my day. I was able to pass the flowers off to my 4-year old and she fell asleep holding them on our way home. She was so happy about the flowers! Whenever I see something unkind happen I am reminded that I can always turn the tables and bring kind-ness to someone in need no matter how small the gesture it can have a wonderful ripple (涟漪) effect. 1.What did the author experience at the store?

Few guidebooks introduce the country. However, I decided to take a trip to Eastern Slovakia. I always search for roads that are less traveled. On the first day, I stayed in a hotel opposite a great church. Around the corner, there was a lively town center. Coffee shops were serving hot chocolate. The dumplings and snacks in the restaurants there were as delicious as those in Western Europe. I tried the delicious food there in almost every restaurant. On the second day, I traveled to Spis Castle (城堡). It’s about an hour’s drive to the northwest of Kosice. Perhaps you’ve never heard of the name, but this is one of Central Europe’s largest castles. Part of it was built in the 11th century. In the castle, I saw colorful fields, villages with red roofs and green hills. After that, I tried some local food there. And then the best part of my trip came. I drove southeast and arrived in Banska Stiavnica on the last day of my trip. It is a perfectly protected historical town. I went to a concert in a church built in the 15th century. At the town center, local people were celebrating a traditional festival. There were traditional shows about how to make dumplings. It was the most enjoyable moment of my trip. In Slovakia, you can find old towns, natural beauty, great castles and all foods at affordable prices and few tourist crowds. Maybe it’s time to rewrite the guidebooks. 1.What can we know about Slovakia from the first paragraph? A. It’s easy to be found in guidebooks. B. It’s not very popular with tourists. C. The writer decided to take a trip to the west part of it. D. The writer’s friend traveled there before. 2.What did the writer do on the first two days? A. He tried some local food. B.

Many foreigners were dancing when he arrived there. 4.In which part of a magazine can we most probably read the passage? A. Teenage growth. B. Family plan. C. Tour and culture. D. School education. 【答案】1. B　2. A　3. C　4. C 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述作者不听朋友劝阻，前往斯洛伐克东部旅行，体验当地美景、美食与文化并深感其魅力的经历。 (1)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“A friend advised me not to choose to visit Slovakia though he hadn’t been there.

That’s exactly how I felt when I saw the magical friendship between a 6-year-old boy, Otto, and a wild crow (乌鸦) named Russell. Though Russell is a wild bird, he visits Otto and his family often. When the child is at home, he sits quietly by the window, waiting to be let in and watch TV with his human friend. When Otto is at school, the crow sits on the roof, waiting for his friend to return. In August last year, the family found the thin crow without his parents. They took him in and named him Russell. And so, Russell has been around ever since, getting treats and bringing little things in return. But as much as he enjoys being with the family, Russell seems to only have eyes for Otto. Otto’s mother Luna has seen him following the child around on walks and tricycle (三轮车) rides. The boy smiles whenever he turns around to see his friend. The friendly crow also seems to enjoy watching Otto play with his toy trucks. The child’s mother also shares that Russell only accepts petting (抚摸) from Otto, as he gets away from anyone else that tries to touch him. As for the family’s pets, Luna describes their relationship as “love- hate”, as the crow loves to tease (逗) their cats and dogs. “Living with Russell means there’s never a boring moment in our life,” Luna says. “He allows us to interact (互动) with nature in a way that most people are not able to.” 1.When Otto is at school, Russell sits _________. A. by the window B. on the table C. on the roof D. in the tree 2.When did the family first find Russell? A. Last August B. Last October C. This August D.

His career plans even involved becoming a dentist(牙医) when he was 14 years old. But life has a funny way of taking unlikely turns, our hidden talents unearthed in places we never expect. For a teenage Nuguse, the idea that he would one day become a top middle-distance athlete— and among the best in the world— was laughable. After showing early promise as a high school student in Louisville, Kentucky, Nuguse competed for the Notre Dame Fighting Irish, winning the NCAA title in the 1,500 meters in 2019. From there, a career in running called to him, along with the fitting label of “America’s accidental champion”. “It’s been a crazy journey, one that I never really saw coming or expected,” says Nuguse. “But it’s one that I’m really glad I gave a chance because I would be in a completely different space right now if I hadn’t. Running has just been changing my life in many amazing ways, and I’ve been really, really happy for it, and happy that my track coach in high school was able to convince me.” Even today, Nuguse struggles to get his head around the path his life has taken, still failing to see himself as a natural runner. He doesn’t consider himself a sporty person. But his achievements on the track are testament(证明)to his enormous talent and work ethic. In one of the most eagerly anticipated events of last year’s Paris Olympics, Nuguse took bronze(铜牌)in the 1,500 meters, bested by fellow American Cole Hocker and Britain’s Josh Kerr. It was a fast final dash for the ages. 1.Why did Nuguse consider his journey crazy? A. It was full of unexpected changes. B. It took him a long time to succeed. C. He disliked running at the beginning. D. He suffered a lot of serious injuries. 2.What is Nuguse’s attitude towards his running career? A. Regretful. B. Indifferent. C. Grateful. D. Worried. 3.What does the underlined phrase “get his head around” in the last paragraph mean? A. Balance. B. Forget. C. Understand. D. Record. 4.Where is this text most likely from? A. A science textbook. B. A sports magazine. C. A book review. D. A health guide. 【答案】1. A　2. C　3. C　4. B 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了原本想当牙医的运动员Yared Nuguse，从意外走上跑步之路，最终成为奥运奖牌得主的故事。他对自己意想不到的成功感到惊喜和感激，并强调高中教练的引导和跑步带来的改变。 (1)题解析： 细节理解题。根据文章第四段中Nuguse所说的话“It’s been a crazy journey, one that I never really saw coming or expected (这是一段疯狂的旅程，一段我从未真正预见或期待的旅程)”可知，Nuguse觉得自己的这段人生旅程很疯狂，是因为它充满了未曾预料到的变化。他原本从未想过会成为一名职业跑步运动员，更别说成为奥运奖牌获得者了，所以A选项“It was full of unexpected changes.(它充满了意想不到的变化)”符合题意。故选A项。 (2)题解析： 推理判断题。从文章第四段Nuguse说的“But it’s one that I’m really glad I gave a chance because I would be in a completely different space right now if I hadn’t. Running has just been changing my life in many amazing ways, and I’ve been really, really happy for it, and happy that my track coach in high school was able to convince me. (但我真的很庆幸自己给了这个机会，因为如果我没有这样做，我现在的处境会完全不同。跑步以许多惊人的方式改变了我的生活，我真的、真的为此感到高兴，也很高兴我高中时的田径教练能够说服我)”可以看出，Nuguse对于自己跑步生涯的态度是感激的。他感激自己给了跑步这个机会，感激跑步改变了他的人生，也感激高中教练说服他。故选C项。 (3)题解析： 词句猜测题。根据文章最后一段“Even today, Nuguse struggles to get his head around the path his life has taken, still failing to see himself as a natural runner.(即使到了今天，Nuguse仍然很难get his head around自己的人生道路，仍然不认为自己是一个天生的跑步者)”可知，这里表达的是Nuguse到现在都很难理解自己的人生为何会走上跑步这条道路，他不觉得自己有跑步的天赋。所以“get his head around”意思是“理解”。C选项“Understand.(理解)”与划线词意思相近。故选C项。 (4)题解析： 推理判断题。文章主要讲述了Yared Nuguse从原本梦想成为牙医，到意外成为一名职业跑步运动员并在奥运会上获得奖牌的故事，重点围绕他的跑步生涯展开。B选项“A sports magazine.(一本体育杂志)”符合文章关于运动员经历和成就的主题。故选B项。 Passage 2 （25-26高二上·浙江台金七校联考·期中）The world said farewell to a true pioneer with the passing of Dr. Jane Goodall in 2025. Her journey, from a self-funded young woman with a dream to a globally influential figure, not only demonstrates the power of passion and perseverance, but also inspires generations to pursue change with empathy and courage. With no formal scientific training, Goodall began her work in the forests of Gombe, Tanzania. Her approach — associating so closely with the animals she studied, naming them and even referring to them as “my friends” — was then considered unorthodox by many in the scientific community. Despite facing doubt, her patience was rewarded with a series of discoveries that astonished the world. In 1960, she witnessed chimpanzees eating bushpigs, overturning the long-held belief that they were strict vegetarians. That same year, she saw chimps digging termites(白蚁) out of a hill with a stick, which forced experts to abandon the assumption that tool use was a uniquely human skill. Later, she documented not only acts of aggression — intergroup warfare and even cannibalism(同类相食) — but also gestures of affection such as play, grief and care. Sometimes, they even accepted her as one of their own. As her understanding of chimpanzees grew, so did her sense of responsibility. Driven by the growing threats to chimpanzees and their habitats, Goodall transitioned from a quiet observer to a tireless global advocate. She founded the Jane Goodall Institute and launched the “Roots & Shoots” program, which has since empowered millions of young people worldwide to engage in environmental projects. “What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make,” she often stated, emphasizing individual responsibility. Goodall’s legacy is not merely in her discoveries, but in her unbeatable spirit. She showed that profound change begins with a single, determined individual. Her life stands as a lasting proof of the idea that curiosity, when paired with action, can reshape our world. 1.What does the underlined word “unorthodox” in paragraph 2 most probably mean? A. Unconventional. B. Efficient. C. Authoritative. D. Outdated. 2.What major breakthrough did Goodall make about chimpanzees in 1960? A. They maintain a pure vegetarian diet. B. They often engage in community violence. C. They could use objects as tools to obtain food. D. They were as intelligent as humans in employing tools. 3.What can be inferred about Jane Goodall according to paragraph 4? A. She sought global recognition for her environmental projects. B. She believed that collective efforts outweigh individual actions. C. She inspired youngsters to contribute to a more sustainable world. D. She focused mainly on developing observation methods for chimpanzees. 4.Which of the following best describes Jane Goodall? A. Innovative and generous. B. Academic and demanding. C. Committed and transformative. D. Indifferent and pioneering. 【答案】1. A　2. C　3. C　4. C 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了简·古道尔博士从一名无正式科学训练的女子成长为全球影响力人物的历程。她以非传统方式研究黑猩猩并取得重大发现，晚年致力于保护黑猩猩和推动环境教育，其精神激励人们以行动改变世界。 (1)题解析： 词句猜测题。根据第二段“Her approach — associating so closely with the animals she studied, naming them and even referring to them as ‘my friends’ — was then considered unorthodox by many in the scientific community.(她的方法——与她研究的动物如此亲密地联系在一起，给它们命名，甚至称它们为‘我的朋友’——在当时被科学界的许多人认为是……。)”以及后文“Despite facing doubt, her patience was rewarded with a series of discoveries that astonished the world.(尽管遭遇了质疑，但她始终保持着耐心，最终收获了一系列令世人惊叹的发现。)”可知，她与所研究的动物建立如此紧密联系、给它们命名甚至称它们为“我的朋友”的这种做法，遭遇了质疑，由此推断在科学界很多人看来这种做法是“不符合常规的”。结合选项可知，unorthodox意思最接近unconventional，意为“非传统的，不合常规的”。故选A项。 (2)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第三段“That same year, she saw chimps digging termites (白蚁) out of a hill with a stick, which forced experts to abandon the assumption that tool use was a uniquely human skill.(同年，她看到黑猩猩用棍子从土堆里挖白蚁，这迫使专家们放弃了工具使用是人类独有的技能这一假设。)”可知，1960年古道尔关于黑猩猩的重大突破是发现它们能够使用物体作为工具来获取食物。故选C项。 (3)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第四段“She founded the Jane Goodall Institute and launched the ‘Roots & Shoots’ program, which has since empowered millions of young people worldwide to engage in environmental projects.(她创立了简·古道尔研究所，并发起了‘Roots & Shoots’项目，该项目自成立以来，已赋予全球数百万年轻人参与环保项目的能力。)”可知，简·古道尔发起的项目让全球数百万年轻人参与到环保项目中，由此可推断出她激励年轻人为一个更可持续的世界做出贡献。故选C项。 (4)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第四段“Driven by the growing threats to chimpanzees and their habitats, Goodall transitioned from a quiet observer to a tireless global advocate.(由于黑猩猩及其栖息地面临的威胁日益加剧，古道尔从一位安静的观察者转变为一位不知疲倦的全球倡导者。)”可知，简·古道尔对黑猩猩及其栖息地面临的威胁感到担忧，从观察者转变为全球倡导者，说明她对保护黑猩猩及其栖息地有坚定的承诺；根据最后一段“Goodall’s legacy is not merely in her discoveries, but in her unbeatable spirit. She showed that profound change begins with a single, determined individual. Her life stands as a lasting proof of the idea that curiosity, when paired with action, can reshape our world.(古道尔的遗产不仅仅在于她的发现，还在于她不可战胜的精神。她表明，深刻的变革始于一个坚定的人。她的一生证明了一个观点，即好奇心与行动相结合可以重塑我们的世界。)”可知，她通过自己的行动和倡导，对黑猩猩保护和环境保护产生了深远影响，改变了人们对黑猩猩的认知，也激励了无数人参与到环保行动中，具有变革性。所以，简·古道尔是一个有坚定承诺和变革性的人，C选项“Committed and transformative.(坚定且具有变革性。)”符合题意。故选C项。 Passage 3 （25-26高二上·浙江强基联盟A卷-11月·期中）Katherine Johnson, a hero to American space travel and exploration, was born on Aug. 26, 1918, in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia. Her genius for math and science was evident early and her parents arranged for her and her siblings’ education to be a priority. Katherine graduated from high school at only 14 and attended West Virginia State College, a historically Black college. When West Virginia decided to quietly integrate its graduate schools in 1939, West Virginia State’s president, Dr. John W. Davis, selected her and two men to be the first Black students offered spots at the state’s flagship school, West Virginia University. In 1953, in a time of racial separation, she started a job as a human “computer” with the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA), which later developed into NASA．She worked in the West Area Computing section at Langley Research Center on a team headed by fellow West Virginian Dorothy Vaughan. This turned into a long-term position and set the course for Katherine’s role in space exploration. In 1960, she and engineer Ted Skopinski coauthored Determination of Azimuth Angle at Burnout for Placing a Satellite Over a Selected Earth Position, a report laying out the equations (方程式) describing an orbital spaceflight in which the landing position of the spacecraft is specified. It was the first time a woman in the Flight Research Division had received credit as an author of a research report. Her expertise was key to John Glenn’s orbit around Earth in 1962, with Glenn putting much of his confidence in Katherine to make the mission a success. As a part of the preflight checklist, Glenn asked engineers to “get the girl” — Johnson — to run the same numbers through the same equations that had been programmed into the computer, but by hand, on her desktop mechanical calculating machine. “If she says they’re good,” Katherine Johnson remembered the astronaut saying, “then I’m ready to go.” 1.What can we learn about Katherine Johnson’s life experience? A. Her parents attached great importance to her education. B. She was the only Black student to enter West Virginia University in 1939. C. She took the lead of the West Area Computing section. D. She joined the NACA organization after NASA had been established. 2.Why does the writer quote (引用) John Glenn’s words in the last paragraph? A. To explain Johnson’s hand calculation (计算) was tough. B. To highlight John Glenn was a strict mission leader. C. To prove Johnson’s hand calculations were reliable. D. To illustrate the computer’s data was not trustworthy. 3.Which of the following can best describe Katherine Johnson? A. Modest and sociable. B. Talented and hardworking. C. Stubborn and ambitious. D. Considerate and cooperative. 4.What is the best title for the text? A. Katherine Johnson: A Lifetime of Educational Pursuits B. The Story of a “Computer”: Katherine Johnson’s Early Life at NASA C. Katherine Johnson: A Pioneering Force in Space Exploration D. Mathematics: The Key to John Glenn’s Historic Space Flight 【答案】1. A　2. C　3. B　4.

S. National Academy of Sciences (NAS) announced its new members, including Chinese pharmacologist Tu Youyou, who was elected a foreign associate member. This election powerfully recognizes Tu’s lifelong contributions — especially her groundbreaking discovery of artemisinin, a malaria-fighting wonder drug that has saved millions of lives. Tu Youyou was born in Ningbo in 1930. At 16, her battle with tuberculosis (肺结核) inspired her mission to relieve human suffering through science, leading her to Peking University in 1951, where her strict academic training laid the groundwork for her future work at the intersection (交叉) of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and modern science. After graduation, she conducted vital research on herbal medicines, clarifying long-standing confusion over plant species. In 1969, Tu led a team to comb through 2,000 ancient TCM texts and folk cures. A 4th-century text eventually inspired a key idea: extracting Artemisia annua (sweet wormwood) with ether (乙醚) could preserve its active part. After 190 failed experiments, success came. By 1972, her team had extracted pure artemisinin, proved safety on themselves, and confirmed its effectiveness. Artemisinin has revolutionized malaria treatment, reducing incidence by 37% and death rate by 60% between 2000 and 2015, saving an estimated 5.9 million children’s lives (WHO, 2015). This achievement earned Tu the 2011 Lasker Award and, in 2015, the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine — the first Nobel in a scientific field for a Chinese scientist and a landmark for TCM’s global recognition. She later received China’s Highest National Science and Technology Award (2016) and was named among Time’s 100 Most Influential Women (2020). Nevertheless, Tu remains humble, emphasizing that artemisinin is “a gift from TCM and the collective effort of her team.” At 94, she rises at dawn to monitor resistance trials, records every data point by hand, and personally replies to rural doctors seeking advice. Her humility, resilience, and quiet dedication continue to inspire scientists worldwide. 1.What motivated Tu Youyou’s career in medical science? A. Reading a 4th-century text on herbal medicine. B. Fighting against a serious disease at age 16. C. Studying at Peking University in 1951. D. Witnessing the deadly impact of malaria. 2.What key step finally led to the success of her study? A. Heating Artemisia annua in boiling water for hours. B. Switching from water to ether as the extracting liquid. C. Testing the 190th sample on laboratory animals. D. Consulting Western pharmacology textbooks. 3.The last paragraph best reveals that Tu is ________. A. talented B. ambitious C. cautious D. modest 4.What does the passage mainly convey? A. Breakthroughs result from commitment and persistence. B. Individual genius weighs more than teamwork in fighting disease. C. Global recognition turns local herbs into widespread cures. D. Future study focuses on developing modern drugs from herbal sources. 【答案】1. B　2. B　3. D　4.

As he did so, he didn’t notice the woman, Nadia Popovici, who sat directly behind him. Nor did she pay much attention to him. That would change soon. Halfway through the action, Popovici’s eyes locked onto something peculiar on the man. Through the glass, she spotted an odd-looking mole (痣) on the back of Hamilton’s neck, reddish with an irregular border. She had seen plenty like it as a hospital volunteer and soon-to-be medical student. It was a melanoma (黑素瘤). “It’s so uncomfortable to have something on your body pointed out,” she told the Seattle Times. But she knew she had to say something. As Hamilton walked near the ice between periods, Popovici, in Kraken gear, knocked hard on the glass, typed a message on her phone and held the screen high enough: “The mole on the back of your neck looks like cancerous. Go see a doctor!” Hamilton glanced at the brightly-lit message for only a second. That’s weird, he thought. Walking away, he uneasily rubbed the back of his neck. A few days later, he visited the Canucks’ doctor, who agreed that the mole looked alarming and ordered a biopsy (活组织检查). It came back positive — a stage-Ⅱ malignant melanoma, life-threatening if left unattended. Hamilton had the cancerous mole removed, and the surgery was excellent. “She took me out of a slow fire,” says Hamilton. “The words out of the doctor’s mouth were if I ignored that for four to five years, I wouldn’t be here.” The two connected at the next Canucks-Kraken game, where Hamilton was able to thank her in person. No thanks were necessary, Popovici said. “It was just one moment in our lives where we crossed paths at the right time.” 1.What made Popovici decide to tell Hamilton about the spot on his neck? A. Medical knowledge. B. Personal relationship. C. Overheard comments. D. Professional responsibility. 2.How did Popovici communicate her concern to Hamilton during the game? A. By shouting aloud from a distance. B. By asking a doctor for help. C. By showing him the message on the phone. D. By writing a note behind the glass. 3.How did Hamilton feel when saying “She took me out of a slow fire”? A. Terrified. B. Annoyed. C. Surprised. D. Grateful. 4.What message does the story convey? A. Silence is golden. B. Prepare for a rainy day. C. Opportunity knocks but once. D. Help is a voice, not just a feeling. 【答案】1. A　2. C　3. D　4. D 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了准医学生提醒他人，使其及时切除恶性黑素瘤的故事。 (1)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第二段中“She had seen plenty like it as a hospital volunteer and soon-to-be medical student. It was a melanoma (黑素瘤).(作为一名医院志愿者，同时也是即将入学的医学生，她见过很多这样的痣。那是一颗黑素瘤)”可知，Popovici凭借医院志愿者经历和准医学生的医学知识，判断出Hamilton脖子上的痣是黑素瘤，进而决定告知他。故选A。 (2)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第三段中“As Hamilton walked near the ice between periods, Popovici, in Kraken gear, knocked hard on the glass, typed a message on her phone and held the screen high enough: “The mole on the back of your neck looks like cancerous.

She was just 5 months old when she was rescued from an animal cruelty situation. Although safe in the shelter environment, she was there for over a year and developed behavioral issues. No one stopped forward to adopt her. Miller, an animal behavior consultant, and Spidle, both from Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, signed up to do a “paint your pet” event together, and saw Napster’s inner beauty and potential. “I really wanted to help get her out and into a foster (寄养的) home,” Miller tells Daily Paws. She used a picture of Napster as inspiration and created her first dog portrait (画像). Spidle says Napster’s story made a light bulb go off, and she and Miller brainstormed about how interesting it would be to help overlooked shelter dogs in Central Pennsylvania get adopted through art. In 2019, they started the nonprofit Cheddar Paws Dog Art. Miller and Spidle aren’t professional artists, but in addition to their full-time jobs, they’re enthusiastic animal advocates. They persuaded local businesses to hang dog portraits with shelter information. Other artists stepped forward to donate their time and talent to give each pup (小狗) the star treatment. The result? Pure magic. “To date, we’ve painted 197 dogs, and 138 have been adopted,” says Spidle. She adds that when a shelter pup is gone before finding a home, Cheddar Paws donates their painting as a memorial piece. Unfortunately, Napster crossed the rainbow bridge shortly after the pair met her. Miller’s initial portraits of this sweet pup remind her of the work she and Spidle hope to do with other pets. They celebrate each success on social media. “It’s so rewarding to be able to post a long-term with ‘Adopted’ stamped on their portrait!” Spidle says. “We can’t wait to see those numbers go up!” 1.Why did Miller and Spidle create Cheddar Paws Dog Art? A. To raise money for dog rescue. B. To help shelter dogs find homes. C. To call on people to care for dogs. D. To make pet-keeping more popular. 2.Which word best describes Cheddar Paws Dog Art? A. Successful. B. Profitable. C. Well-organized. D. Entertaining. 3.What does the underlined phrase “crossed the rainbow bridge” in paragraph 5 mean? A. Fell ill. B. Got lost. C. Passed away. D. Got injured. 4.What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To appreciate the power of art. B. To raise awareness of animal care. C. To stress the importance of dog rescue. D. To share a story of helping shelter dogs. 【答案】1. B　2. A　3. C　4. D 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Miller和Spidle通过艺术创作帮助收容所的狗狗找到新家的故事。 (1)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Spidle says Napster’s story made a light bulb go off, and she and Miller brainstormed about how interesting it would be to help overlooked shelter dogs in Central Pennsylvania get adopted through art.

But Amy kept it secret. Her letter read: “I’m Amy, 9. Kids laugh at how I walk, run, talk. I have cerebral palsy. I just want one day without teasing.” At Indiana’s WJLT radio, many letters arrived. Manager Lee Tobin read Amy’s letter, knowing cerebral palsy confused her classmates. He called the local paper. Next day, Amy’s photo and letter were on the News Sentinel front page. The story spread nationwide. Soon, mail flooded her home — greetings and encouragement from across the U.S. Over 2,000 people worldwide sent support; some had disabilities, some were teased as kids. Amy felt less lonely. She got her wish: a teasing-free day at South Wayne Elementary. Teachers and students talked about how bad teasing is. That year, Fort Wayne’s mayor named December 21st “Amy Jo Hagadorn Day”, saying “Everyone deserves respect, dignity and kindness.” 1.What did the fifth-grader do after bumping into Amy? A.

Pigeons in urban areas often suffer from a preventable condition known as “stringfoot”, in which litter (垃圾) such as thread, fishing line or human hair gets wrapped around their toes. Untreated, the birds can lose a toe, or even a whole foot. “There are so many problems in my life and in the lives of people I care about that I can’t really do anything about,” said Brennan, of the London Pigeon Rescue. “But what I can do is save a pigeon’s life, or their toes, or restore their abilities. That might seem like a small difference, but to that pigeon, it’s massive.” On rescues, the pair of volunteers use seeds to attract pigeons, then gently cover them with a kitchen towel before removing any tight trash with scissors. “It’s a man-made problem,” Brennan said. “I think someone needs to be responsible for helping them with the problem that we’ve created.” Brennan first began feeding pigeons in 2021 after reading they were going hungry. Over time, she began noticing injuries and sought help on Facebook from Peter, who was already rescuing birds. Since then, the two have worked together and attempted to tend to the birds three to four times a week, often responding to tips from concerned members of the public. “Liking pigeons as much as I do means that I have little friends everywhere I go. I was busy, stressed, and felt a bit sorry for myself. Then I saw a couple of pigeons pass by, and it instantly brightened my day,” Brennan said. 1.What is a main problem that urban pigeons in London often suffer from? A. A shortage of food. B. Attacks from other animals. C. Exposure to extreme weather. D. Getting caught in human-made litter. 2.How does Brennan feel about rescuing pigeons? A. It is a lifelong commitment. B. It is surprisingly easy to get into. C. It brings her a sense of purpose and joy. D. It is stressful and takes up too much time. 3.How did Brennan and Peter start working together? A. Through contact on Facebook. B. By meeting at a wildlife shelter. C. Through their friends’ introduction. D. With the help of the London Pigeon Rescue. 4.What is the main idea of the text? A. Ways to prevent stringfoot in pigeons. B. A mission to rescue London’s pigeons. C. The harm of litter to urban pigeons. D. Two volunteers’ daily life in London. 【答案】1. D　2. C　3. A　4. B 【解析】【导语】 这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了Jennie Brennan与Jacob Peter在纷乱世界中，以救助伦敦患“线足病”的鸽子为幸福源泉，二人合作救助，既帮了鸽子也慰藉了自己。 (1)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Pigeons in urban areas often suffer from a preventable condition known as “stringfoot”, in which litter such as thread, fishing line or human hair gets wrapped around their toes.

In Irish stories, leprechauns — small magical creatures-hide their pots of gold where the rainbow ends. Legend has it that they have to unwillingly give you their gold if you can find the end of the rainbow. Though I never did unearth any treasure, those rainy days were filled with wonder and imagination. As I grew older, however, my childhood dream faded. Yet for some, that dream never fades — and for a fortunate few, it even becomes a reality. Such is the case of Mel Fisher, whose dream of finding treasure also began in childhood while reading classics like Treasure Island. Unlike me, he pursued this dream and ultimately became a renowned treasure hunter. After searching for over 16 years, he located the Atocha, a Spanish ship that sank off the coast of Florida in 1622. Inside were gold bars, silver coins, and precious jewels, valued at approximately $ 400 million. However, gaining the treasure was not all plain sailing. After fighting against tough conditions at sea, the State of Florida took Fisher to court over ownership of the find. After more than 200 hearings, Fisher agreed to donate 20% of his findings to a museum in Florida, where you can see many objects from the Atocha. This story, however, brings about many debates. Archaeologists argue that commercial treasure hunts lead to the loss of cultural heritage, describing such activities as undersea “plundering (劫掠). Nevertheless, advocates claim professional hunters like Fisher contribute to history by carefully documenting each discovery and making it accessible to the public through museum donations and information on websites. Now, I learn that the rainbow’s end is beyond my reach, but to my relief, with just a click of the mouse, I too can appreciate the “riches” from the Atocha! Just as Nietzsche wisely said, “Our treasure lies in the beehive of our knowledge.” 1.Why was the author so fond of rainy day as a child? A. It allowed time for reading Irish stories. B. It created chances to seek hidden treasure. C. She found pleasure in walking through the rain. D. She desired to meet leprechauns hiding in the rain. 2.What inspired Mel Fisher to go treasure hunting? A. A lifelong love for exploration. B. Stories from his childhood reads. C. The discovery of an ancient sunken ship. D. A previous trip to Ireland for treasure. 3.What do the underlined words “all plain sailing” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Entirely smooth. B. Highly profitable. C. Particularly difficult. D. Completely predictable. 4.What is mainly conveyed in the last paragraph? A. The Atocha’s treasures are within everyone’s reach. B. Childhood dreams should give way to practical gains. C. Technology makes treasure hunting accessible to everyone. D. True treasure lies in the wealth of knowledge one can obtain. 【答案】1. B　2. B　3. A　4. D 【解析】【导语】 这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者童年因爱尔兰寻宝传说喜爱雨天，而梅尔・费希尔受童年读物启发，耗时 16 年找到沉船宝藏，却陷入所有权纠纷。此事引发争议，作者最终领悟：真正的宝藏是知识的财富。 (1)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第一段中“During my childhood in Ireland, few things brought me as much delight as a rainy day, for it promised the possibility of a magical pursuit—treasure hunting. (在爱尔兰度过的童年时期，没有什么比下雨天更能带给我快乐的了，因为下雨天预示着一场神奇的寻宝之旅的可能。)”可知，作者小时候喜欢下雨天是因为它创造了寻找隐藏宝藏的机会。故选B项。 (2)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Such is the case of Mel Fisher, whose dream of finding treasure also began in childhood while reading classics like Treasure Island.( 梅尔·费舍尔就是这样一个例子，他的寻宝梦也是在童年时期阅读《金银岛》等经典作品时开始的。)”可知，梅尔·费舍尔踏上寻宝路是源于童年阅读的故事。故选B项。 (3)题解析： 词句猜测题。根据第四段首句及后文“After fighting against tough conditions at sea, the State of Florida took Fisher to court over ownership of the find.

Just as Nietzsche wisely said, “Our treasure lies in the beehive of our knowledge.”(现在，我知道彩虹的尽头是我无法到达的，但令我宽慰的是，只需点击鼠标，我也可以欣赏来自阿托查的“财富”！正如尼采所言：“我们的宝藏就藏在知识的蜂巢里。”)”可推知，最后一段主要传达了真正的财富在于所获得的知识财富。故选D项。 主题语境04 人与自我-生活与学习 Passage 1 （25-26高二上·辽宁辽西重点高中·期中）Facebook has turned out to be one of the most visited and most popular social media sites in the world. When it comes to talking about Facebook, we cannot stop ourselves from describing its creator, Mark Zuckerberg. His success story and Facebook have inspired many people all over the world in different ways. Mark Zuckerberg was born into a well-educated family and developed an interest in computer programming at an early age. His first computer was a Quantex 486DX, powered by the Intel 486 processor. When Mark was 12 years old, his father introduced him to Atari BASIC Programming. At such a young age, Mark managed to use the program to come up with his own messenger called the ZuckNet. Thanks to his first creation, all the computers in his house were connected to the ones in his father’s dental office. Within that connected system, the computer users were allowed to send messages to each other. Mark Zuckerberg created his billion-dollar social networking site based on a simple concept. He was trying to compare photos of two different people and he invited other people to vote and decide which one was better looking. At Harvard University, with his three classmates, he had come up with the Facebook’s predecessor, Facemash. Mark Zuckerberg finally started to write the code for a new website later known as Facebook in 2004. This new site was equipped with new ideas and more useful features, including a section where users can share their comments. Facebook managed to become popular with many more users at many universities around the country. It only took less than a few months for Mark Zuckerberg to spread his networking site to countless numbers of schools and universities in the United States and Canada. Six years later TIME magazine made him Person of the Year for his social networking site. In 2018, Forbes included Mark in the list of the 400 richest people in the world. 1.What’s Zuckerberg’s first achievement as a programmer? A. A billion-dollar social networking site. B. Atari BASIC Programming. C. Facemash. D. Messenger ZuckNet. 2.What do we know about Facebook? A. Mark wrote the code for it with his classmates B. Mark first managed to spread it among IT business. C. It is directly based on ZuckNet. D. It has helped Mark rank among top billionaires around the world. 3.When did TIME magazine feature Mark Zuckerberg on its cover? A. In 2004 B. In 2015 C. In 2014 D. In 2010 4.Which of the following have contributed to Zucketherg’ success? ①support of his family ②Gift for computer programming ③Popularity at university ④Teamwork A. ①②③ B. ①③④ C. ①②④ D. ②③④ 【答案】1. D　2. D　3. D　4.

When I say “old books”, I don’t mean classics, though. I mean books with yellow pages, broken spines and odd wood-like smells that you need to be careful not to break because they are already so worn down and bring you severe discomfort. One can assume that I didn’t own many old books. I had merely a few here and there that my parents had gifted me, but nothing too special. In the fourth grade,I was ready to explore a new world of reading, one that went beyond the likes of children’s chapter books and teenagers’ topics. Just then, I found my parents’ old copies of the entire Harry Potter book series. Visually, my parents’ books were my worst nightmare. I remember thinking to myself that there was no way I would be able to read these books. However, I eventually had to come to terms with the fact that if I wanted to read the series, I would have to read my parents’ copies. And so began the terrible journey of reading seven old books. When it was time for me to read the final copy, I was kind of a changed woman. I still strongly disliked old books, but the plot of the entire Harry Potter series had attracted me so much that I had almost entirely forgotten what the books looked like. By the end, I had devoted the entire Harry Potter bookshelf in my room. Now, I love old books. While the covers are sometimes so worn down that you can barely read the title of the book, you can understand what it’s about anyway. After all, an old book is a representation of generations of readers who have chosen to live in a specific fictional world because the story it contains is just that good. Old books have meaning and I love how much they mean to me now. 1.What can we learn about the author from the first two paragraphs? A. She had a bad relationship with her parents. B. She felt uneasy about possessing worn-out books. C. She developed a taste for reading classic literature. D. Her parents frequently handed her old books as gifts. 2.How did the author react upon seeing her parents’ Harry Potter set in fourth grade? A. Puzzled. B. Frightened. C. Surprised. D. Discouraged. 3.What does the author mean by saying “I was kind of a changed woman” in paragraph 3? A. She agreed to shelve worn-out books. B. She discovered her true reading preferences. C.

A 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇记叙文。文章通过讲述作者个人对旧书态度的转变过程，展现了作者从厌恶旧书到爱上旧书的心理变化，以及这一变化背后的原因和感受。 (1)题解析： 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“I mean books with yellow pages, broken spines and odd wood-like smells that you need to be careful not to break because they are already so worn down and bring you severe discomfort.(我指的是那些书页泛黄、书脊破损、散发着奇怪木质气味的书，你得小心翻阅，以免它们因为太过破旧而给你带来严重的不适感。)”以及第二段“Visually, my parents’ books were my worst nightmare. I remember thinking to myself that there was no way I would be able to read these books.(从外观上看，父母的这些书简直就是我的噩梦。我记得自己当时心想，我绝不可能读这些书。)”可知，作者对于阅读旧书这件事心里是很不舒服、很不情愿的。故选B。 (2)题解析： 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“In the fourth grade,I was ready to explore a new world of reading, one that went beyond the likes of children’s chapter books and teenagers’ topics. Just then, I found my parents’ old copies of the entire Harry Potter book series. Visually, my parents’ books were my worst nightmare. I remember thinking to myself that there was no way I would be able to read these books. However, I eventually had to come to terms with the fact that if I wanted to read the series, I would have to read my parents’ copies. And so began the terrible journey of reading seven old books.(在四年级的时候，我准备去探索一个全新的阅读世界，一个超越儿童章节读物和青少年主题读物的世界。就在那时，我发现了父母收藏的一整套旧版《哈利・波特》系列书籍。从外观上看，父母的这些书简直就是我的噩梦。我记得当时心里想，我根本没法读这些书。)”可知，作者看到父母的《哈利・波特》系列旧书时，是很消极、很气馁的，觉得自己没办法去读它们。故选D。 (3)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第三段“I still strongly disliked old books, but the plot of the entire Harry Potter series had attracted me so much that I had almost entirely forgotten what the books looked like.(我依然很不喜欢旧书，但是整个《哈利・波特》系列的情节太吸引我了，以至于我几乎完全忘记了这些书的模样。)”可知，作者虽然内心还是不喜欢旧书的外在样子，但已经开始更关注书的内容，也就是作者此时已经开始忽略书籍的外在状况。故选D。 (4)题解析： 主旨大意题。根据文章内容可知，文章开篇讲述自己曾经讨厌旧书，接着描述四年级时因想读《哈利・波特》系列不得不去读父母的旧版书这一经历，过程中自己对旧书的态度逐渐发生变化，最后表示现在已经爱上旧书了，整体是围绕自己与旧书之间态度变化的这一历程展开叙述的。选项A“My Journey With Old Books（我与旧书的历程）”能够很好地概括文章从讨厌旧书到因读《哈利・波特》系列旧书而慢慢改变态度，最后爱上旧书的整个过程，符合文章主旨。故选A。 主题语境01 人与社会-历史、社会与文化 Passage 1 （25-26高二上·浙江七彩阳光·期中）Imagine growing up with a father suffering from schizophrenia, a mother limited to a wheelchair, and a serious heart condition that demands urgent medical treatment — all these health disasters struck a household struggling with being poor. For Pang Zhongwang, this was the bitter reality he faced from childhood. Yet rather than allowing such setbacks to defeat him, he transformed it into a powerful driving force to pursue his academic future. Born in 1999 in Wuqiao County, Hebei Province, Pang quickly learned the importance of balancing familial responsibilities with his academic enthusiasm. During his junior middle school years, he took on nighttime part-time jobs — stocking shelves in local stores and assisting at small shops — which helped relieve his family’s huge financial pressure. When he entered high school, he moved into the school dormitory, returning home only once a month. Even so, he never failed to write weekly letters to his mother, in which he assured her, “I’m studying hard. Things will get better soon.” Waking at 5 a.m. to memorize academic content, extending his study sessions into night and diving in books under dim streetlights were his routine. His classmates, impressed by his well organized notebooks filled with amazing notes, even praised them “Genius Guides”. Then came 2017 when his years of relentless grit finally paid off. He achieved a score of 684 on the Gaokao, China’s highly competitive national college entrance examination, and also earned an additional 60 bonus points through Tsinghua University’s special program for students from disadvantaged backgrounds. This outstanding performance earned him the title of Cangzhou’s top science student as well as securing him a spot in the Precision (精密) Instruments Department at Tsinghua University. While pursuing there, Pang declined any donation, but instead, self-funded his tuition and living expenses by tutoring younger students and doing part-time jobs. Today, Pang is a PhD student at Tsinghua University, still maintaining his strong work ethic by devoting long hours to research in precision instrument labs after completing his daily classes. 1.What was one of the difficulties in Pang Zhongwang’s childhood? A. His mother needed constant care. B. The family had to move frequently. C. His heart condition stopped his schooling. D. His father was occupied with his work. 2.How did Pang support his family during middle school? A. By seeking financial help from relatives. B. By working after school to earn money. C. By guiding his mother to work at local shops. D. By helping the local library to stock shelves. 3.What does the underlined phrase “relentless grit” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Persistent effort. B. Huge anxiety. C. Longtime adventure. D. Tight economy. 4.What lesson can be drawn from Pang Zhongwang’s story? A. A good beginning is half done. B. Always prepare for a rainy day. C. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. D. What doesn’t beat you makes you tougher. 【答案】1. A　2. B　3. A　4. D 【解析】【导语】 这是一篇记叙文，讲述了庞众望在童年面临父亲患精神分裂症、母亲坐轮椅、自身有严重心脏病且家庭贫困的多重困境下，不向命运低头，兼顾家庭责任与学业，通过不懈努力考上清华大学，如今攻读博士学位的励志故事。 (1)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第一段“Imagine growing up with a father suffering from schizophrenia, a mother limited to a wheelchair, and a serious heart condition that demands urgent medical treatment — all these health disasters struck a household struggling with being poor. For Pang Zhongwang, this was the bitter reality he faced from childhood (想象一下，成长过程中父亲患有精神分裂症，母亲只能坐轮椅，自己还有需要紧急治疗的严重心脏病——所有这些健康灾难都降临在一个贫困的家庭。对庞众望来说，这就是他从小面临的残酷现实)”可知，庞众望童年的困难之一是母亲行动不便，需要长期照顾。故选A。 (2)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第二段“During his junior middle school years, he took on nighttime part-time jobs — stocking shelves in local stores and assisting at small shops — which helped relieve his family’s huge financial pressure (初中时，他做起了夜间兼职——在当地商店整理货架、在小店铺帮忙——这帮助缓解了家里巨大的经济压力)”可知，庞众望在初中时通过放学后打工挣钱来补贴家用。故选B。 (3)题解析： 词义猜测题。根据第三段“Waking at 5 a.m. to memorize academic content, extending his study sessions into night and diving in books under dim streetlights were his routine. His classmates, impressed by his well organized notebooks filled with amazing notes, even praised them “Genius Guides” (他每天早上5点起床背诵知识点，学习到深夜，在昏暗的路灯下埋头读书是他的日常。他的笔记本整理得井井有条，笔记做得非常出色，同学们对此印象深刻，甚至称赞其为“学霸笔记”)”及第四段“Then came 2017 when his years of relentless grit finally paid off. He achieved a score of 684 on the Gaokao (2017年，他多年的relentless grit终于有了回报。他在高考中取得了684分的成绩)”可知，“relentless grit”指的是他多年来持续不断的努力。故选A。 (4)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第一段“Yet rather than allowing such setbacks to defeat him, he transformed it into a powerful driving force to pursue his academic future (但他没有让这些挫折击垮自己，反而将其转化为追求学术未来的强大动力)”及全文讲述他克服家庭贫困、家人患病、自身健康问题等多重困难，最终考上清华并攻读博士的经历可知，从他的故事中能学到“没能击垮你的东西会让你更强大”。故选D。 Passage 2 （25-26高二上·浙江G5联盟-11月·期中）Anita Nowinska found her long-lost box of pastels (蜡笔) while digging through a worn suitcase, using only a candle for light as her power was cut off. “By candlelight I created my first flower painting,” she recalls. “As I painted, I found the deep sadness and pain I was feeling disappeared. That single act saved me, healed me and gave me a sense of purpose.” It was not, as she puts it, the straightest of career paths. As an eight-year-old, Anita was invited to study alongside a master’s group. “It wouldn’t be allowed these days,” she says. Her mother, supportive, bought her oil paints; her father, less so, frequently destroyed her work. Later, Anita swapped (交换) paints for fast money. “It gave me a very nice lifestyle financially,” she says, “but it was soul-destroying.” Anita set aside her art to run a recruitment (招聘) business in the growing Internet sector, but she didn’t remember being happy throughout those years. When the dot-com bubble (互联网泡沫) burst, many of her clients were hit hard. Despite covering expenses with her own savings, her business ultimately sank. Today, she is known for her vast, immersive (沉浸式的) canvases of meadows (草地), wild grasses and flowers-paintings that ask you to stop, breathe and look. “I want the viewer to see what I see. That the smallest thing in nature has so much beauty and wonder.” She paints big because she wants you to feel enveloped, caught in the flicker of a slight wind. Art, for Anita, is a celebration of nature. “Walking through the greenery is my meditation (冥想),” she says. “These days we call it mindfulness, but for me it’s just immersing myself in wonder.” Viewers seem to agree. One woman in a wheelchair once sat with Anita’s work for three hours, later admitting it was the first time in 20 years she had felt no pain. That, for Anita, is the point. “I can’t teach you how to paint,” she says. “I can only teach you how to look.” And her latest series, See Me I Bloom carries that lesson into womanhood itself. “ It’s about women truly valuing themselves — their strength, their wisdom, their determination. We create and nurture life- what could be more important?” 1.What can be known about Anita’s early relationship with art in Paragraph 2? A. Her artistic talent was recognized early but she faced obstacles. B. She prioritized financial success over art from the beginning. C. Her parents fully supported her artistic pursuits. D. She received formal art education from a young age. 2.How did Anita feel about her years in the recruitment business? A. Successful and content. B. Challenging yet enjoyable. C. Empty and meaningless. D. Rewarding yet stressful. 3.Why does Anita paint large canvases? A. To distract viewers from technical imperfections. B. To create a sense of complete immersion in nature. C. To showcase her unique pastel techniques. D. To follow the trend of contemporary art forms. 4.Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. From Financial Success to Artistic Failure B. The Market Value of Nature Paintings C. Anita’s Art Story: How Painting Heals D. Anita’s Career Path: A New Start in Business 【答案】1. A　2. C　3. B　4. C 【解析】【导语】 这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了安妮塔在困境中重拾蜡笔作画，治愈了自己。她曾为谋生放弃艺术，生意失败后回归，创作大幅自然画作治愈他人，并传递女性自我价值的思考。 (1)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第二段“It was not, as she puts it, the straightest of career paths. As an eight-year-old, Anita was invited to study alongside a master’s group. “It wouldn’t be allowed these days,” she says. Her mother, supportive, bought her oil paints; her father, less so, frequently destroyed her work. Later, Anita swapped (交换) paints for fast money. “It gave me a very nice lifestyle financially,” she says, “but it was soul-destroying.” (正如她所说，这条职业道路并非一帆风顺。八岁时，安妮塔被邀请与一群大师一起学习。“如今是不允许这样的了。”她说。她的母亲支持她，给她买了油画颜料；而她的父亲则不太支持，经常毁坏她的作品。后来，安妮塔用颜料换取了更快的收入。“这在经济上给了我非常不错的生活条件，”她说，“但对心灵却是毁灭性的。”)”可知，第二段提到安妮塔8岁就被邀请与大师组一同学习，艺术天赋早被认可；但父亲常毁掉她的作品，后来她也为赚钱放弃绘画，说明追求艺术的路上存在阻碍。故选A项。 (2)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第三段“Anita set aside her art to run a recruitment (招聘) business in the growing Internet sector, but she didn’t remember being happy throughout those years.

(安妮塔放弃了艺术，投身于互联网领域迅速发展的招聘业务中，但那些年她并没有一直感到快乐。当互联网泡沫破裂时，她的许多客户都遭受了重创。尽管她用自己的积蓄支付了费用，但她的生意最终还是倒闭了。)”可知，安妮塔对于自己在招聘行业工作的那些年感觉空虚、没有意义。故选C项。 (3)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第四段中“She paints big because she wants you to feel enveloped, caught in the flicker of a slight wind. (她画得很大，是因为她希望观者能感受到被完全包围、沉浸在微风的摇曳之中。)”可知，她画大幅作品是为了让观者完全沉浸在自然之中。故选B项。 (4)题解析： 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，全文讲述安妮塔在人生低谷时通过绘画治愈自己，之后又用画作治愈他人、传递自然之美与女性力量的故事，C选项“安妮塔的艺术故事：绘画如何治愈”最贴合主旨，适合作为文章的标题。故选C项。 Passage 3 （25-26高二上·福建福九联盟·期中）Jill Wheatley was a PE teacher in Germany.

The book, titled Silent Spring, told a troubling story: if humans continued to use harmful chemicals (called pesticides) freely, birds might stop singing, rivers might lose their fish, and the once lively natural world could become “silent”. When the book first came out, many people were shocked — some even argued against it, especially chemical companies. But over time, its words started a global conversation about protecting the environment. The author of this influential book was Rachel Carson. She was born in 1907 in a small town in Pennsylvania, USA. As a child, Carson spent most of her free time exploring the woods and streams near her family’s farm. She loved watching birds build nests and collecting small plants, and she often wrote down her observations in a notebook. Her deep affection for nature from a young age motivated her to pursue a degree in biology at the university, where she learned how all living things — from tiny insects to large trees — are connected. After college, Carson worked as a scientist for the U. S. government, where she studied the ocean and wrote articles about marine life for a popular magazine. She also published several books about the ocean, but none gained as much attention as Silent Spring. To write this book, Carson spent four years researching. She read hundreds of scientific studies and talked to farmers, scientists, and fishermen who had seen the damage pesticides caused — like birds dying after eating poisonous insects, or fish floating dead in rivers. Carson knew her book would face criticism. At that time, pesticides were widely seen as a “miracle” tool to kill pests and protect crops. But she believed people had a right to know the truth about their dangers. Even after Silent Spring was published, she continued to speak up for the environment, even when her health was failing. Sadly, she died in 1964, just two years after her book came out. But her work lived on: Silent Spring led the U.S. government to ban the most harmful pesticides, and it inspired millions of people to start caring about protecting the planet. Today, she is still remembered as one of the first people to warn the world about the risks of harming nature. 1.Why did people argue against Silent Spring when it first appeared? A. It threatened the interests of most industries. B. It talked about nature, which few people cared about. C. It was too difficult for ordinary readers to understand. D. It criticized the use of pesticides, which many supported. 2.What can we infer about Rachel’s childhood? A. Her hobby markedly impacted her later academic choice. B. She learned about the harm of pesticides during this period. C. She was encouraged to study plants and birds by her parents. D. Her family’s farm was too small to allow her to explore nature. 3.Why did Carson spend four years researching? A. To work with famous university to test the pesticides. B. To travel around the world to study all the marine life. C. To collect enough evidence about the harm of pesticides. D. To learn how to write a convincing book with scientific support. 4.What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To prove the accuracy of Rachel’s studies. B. To introduce Rachel Carson and her influence. C. To describe the process of writing Silent Spring. D. To explain how pesticides harm the environment. 【答案】1. D　2. A　3. C　4.

The day Kim accepted Phil’s proposal of marriage, the couple decided to take engagement (订婚) photos in Park City, Utah.

It was a fruitless search. They felt their blood freeze. Learning of it, the skiers nearby got involved. Hours passed and it seemed hopeless even with a metal detector. When told they would have to wait until spring to locate the ring, the couple were close to a mental collapse (崩溃). But then a blinding flash in the snow caught a skier’s eye. It was the diamond ring! Phil turned this wild adventure into something even more unforgettable. Accompanied by the cheers of kind strangers, he dropped to one knee, ring in hand, and proposed again.

The cashier was remarkably rude to me in a place that is typically known for having great customer service. I came away from the experience first thinking “What did I do to deserve this treatment…”. Then after some thought I came to the realization that this person was more than likely having a bad day and I just happen to be the one they let it out on. I decided to give the grocery chain another chance so I visited a different location on the other side of town. I was not familiar with the layout and asked an employee for help. They were so kind. I opened up about my past experience at the other location. She reassured me this was my new store and showed me where they kept the coffee. When I got to the register the folks helping me out were so kind, I mentioned the bad experience and how I’ve decided this was my new store. The gentleman helping me stepped away for a second and came back with a small handful of flowers and said “I know this isn’t much, but I wanted to give this to you.” It meant more than that man could ever know. I am a special-need mom and take my son with autism(自闭症)with me everywhere I go, I also carry around my toddler and with the two sometimes we can be really loud. I get lots of looks, questioning my chaos. This gentleman set all those insecurities aside and showed me in a simple way he cared and I was valued. It made my day. I was able to pass the flowers off to my 4-year old and she fell asleep holding them on our way home. She was so happy about the flowers!

Few guidebooks introduce the country. However, I decided to take a trip to Eastern Slovakia. I always search for roads that are less traveled. On the first day, I stayed in a hotel opposite a great church. Around the corner, there was a lively town center. Coffee shops were serving hot chocolate. The dumplings and snacks in the restaurants there were as delicious as those in Western Europe. I tried the delicious food there in almost every restaurant. On the second day, I traveled to Spis Castle (城堡). It’s about an hour’s drive to the northwest of Kosice. Perhaps you’ve never heard of the name, but this is one of Central Europe’s largest castles. Part of it was built in the 11th century. In the castle, I saw colorful fields, villages with red roofs and green hills. After that, I tried some local food there. And then the best part of my trip came. I drove southeast and arrived in Banska Stiavnica on the last day of my trip. It is a perfectly protected historical town. I went to a concert in a church built in the 15th century. At the town center, local people were celebrating a traditional festival. There were traditional shows about how to make dumplings. It was the most enjoyable moment of my trip. In Slovakia, you can find old towns, natural beauty, great castles and all foods at affordable prices and few tourist crowds.

That’s exactly how I felt when I saw the magical friendship between a 6-year-old boy, Otto, and a wild crow (乌鸦) named Russell. Though Russell is a wild bird, he visits Otto and his family often. When the child is at home, he sits quietly by the window, waiting to be let in and watch TV with his human friend. When Otto is at school, the crow sits on the roof, waiting for his friend to return. In August last year, the family found the thin crow without his parents. They took him in and named him Russell. And so, Russell has been around ever since, getting treats and bringing little things in return. But as much as he enjoys being with the family, Russell seems to only have eyes for Otto. Otto’s mother Luna has seen him following the child around on walks and tricycle (三轮车) rides. The boy smiles whenever he turns around to see his friend. The friendly crow also seems to enjoy watching Otto play with his toy trucks. The child’s mother also shares that Russell only accepts petting (抚摸) from Otto, as he gets away from anyone else that tries to touch him. As for the family’s pets, Luna describes their relationship as “love- hate”, as the crow loves to tease (逗) their cats and dogs. “Living with Russell means there’s never a boring moment in our life,” Luna says. “He allows us to interact (互动) with nature in a way that most people are not able to.” 1.When Otto is at school, Russell sits _________. A. by the window B. on the table C. on the roof D. in the tree 2.When did the family first find Russell? A. Last August B. Last October C. This August D. This October 3.Which word can best describe the relationship between the boy and the crow? A. Impolite B. Magical C. Patient D. Boring 4.The passage is most probably _________.

His career plans even involved becoming a dentist(牙医) when he was 14 years old. But life has a funny way of taking unlikely turns, our hidden talents unearthed in places we never expect. For a teenage Nuguse, the idea that he would one day become a top middle-distance athlete— and among the best in the world— was laughable. After showing early promise as a high school student in Louisville, Kentucky, Nuguse competed for the Notre Dame Fighting Irish, winning the NCAA title in the 1,500 meters in 2019. From there, a career in running called to him, along with the fitting label of “America’s accidental champion”. “It’s been a crazy journey, one that I never really saw coming or expected,” says Nuguse. “But it’s one that I’m really glad I gave a chance because I would be in a completely different space right now if I hadn’t. Running has just been changing my life in many amazing ways, and I’ve been really, really happy for it, and happy that my track coach in high school was able to convince me.” Even today, Nuguse struggles to get his head around the path his life has taken, still failing to see himself as a natural runner. He doesn’t consider himself a sporty person. But his achievements on the track are testament(证明)to his enormous talent and work ethic. In one of the most eagerly anticipated events of last year’s Paris Olympics, Nuguse took bronze(铜牌)in the 1,500 meters, bested by fellow American Cole Hocker and Britain’s Josh Kerr. It was a fast final dash for the ages. 1.Why did Nuguse consider his journey crazy? A. It was full of unexpected changes. B. It took him a long time to succeed. C. He disliked running at the beginning. D. He suffered a lot of serious injuries. 2.What is Nuguse’s attitude towards his running career? A. Regretful. B. Indifferent. C. Grateful. D. Worried. 3.What does the underlined phrase “get his head around” in the last paragraph mean? A. Balance. B. Forget. C. Understand. D. Record. 4.Where is this text most likely from? A. A science textbook. B. A sports magazine. C. A book review. D. A health guide. Passage 2 （25-26高二上·浙江台金七校联考·期中）The world said farewell to a true pioneer with the passing of Dr. Jane Goodall in 2025. Her journey, from a self-funded young woman with a dream to a globally influential figure, not only demonstrates the power of passion and perseverance, but also inspires generations to pursue change with empathy and courage. With no formal scientific training, Goodall began her work in the forests of Gombe, Tanzania. Her approach — associating so closely with the animals she studied, naming them and even referring to them as “my friends” — was then considered unorthodox by many in the scientific community. Despite facing doubt, her patience was rewarded with a series of discoveries that astonished the world. In 1960, she witnessed chimpanzees eating bushpigs, overturning the long-held belief that they were strict vegetarians. That same year, she saw chimps digging termites(白蚁) out of a hill with a stick, which forced experts to abandon the assumption that tool use was a uniquely human skill. Later, she documented not only acts of aggression — intergroup warfare and even cannibalism(同类相食) — but also gestures of affection such as play, grief and care. Sometimes, they even accepted her as one of their own. As her understanding of chimpanzees grew, so did her sense of responsibility. Driven by the growing threats to chimpanzees and their habitats, Goodall transitioned from a quiet observer to a tireless global advocate. She founded the Jane Goodall Institute and launched the “Roots & Shoots” program, which has since empowered millions of young people worldwide to engage in environmental projects. “What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make,” she often stated, emphasizing individual responsibility. Goodall’s legacy is not merely in her discoveries, but in her unbeatable spirit. She showed that profound change begins with a single, determined individual. Her life stands as a lasting proof of the idea that curiosity, when paired with action, can reshape our world. 1.What does the underlined word “unorthodox” in paragraph 2 most probably mean? A. Unconventional. B. Efficient. C. Authoritative. D. Outdated. 2.What major breakthrough did Goodall make about chimpanzees in 1960? A. They maintain a pure vegetarian diet. B. They often engage in community violence. C. They could use objects as tools to obtain food. D. They were as intelligent as humans in employing tools. 3.What can be inferred about Jane Goodall according to paragraph 4? A. She sought global recognition for her environmental projects. B. She believed that collective efforts outweigh individual actions. C. She inspired youngsters to contribute to a more sustainable world. D. She focused mainly on developing observation methods for chimpanzees. 4.Which of the following best describes Jane Goodall? A. Innovative and generous. B. Academic and demanding. C. Committed and transformative. D. Indifferent and pioneering. Passage 3 （25-26高二上·浙江强基联盟A卷-11月·期中）Katherine Johnson, a hero to American space travel and exploration, was born on Aug. 26, 1918, in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia. Her genius for math and science was evident early and her parents arranged for her and her siblings’ education to be a priority. Katherine graduated from high school at only 14 and attended West Virginia State College, a historically Black college. When West Virginia decided to quietly integrate its graduate schools in 1939, West Virginia State’s president, Dr. John W. Davis, selected her and two men to be the first Black students offered spots at the state’s flagship school, West Virginia University. In 1953, in a time of racial separation, she started a job as a human “computer” with the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA), which later developed into NASA．She worked in the West Area Computing section at Langley Research Center on a team headed by fellow West Virginian Dorothy Vaughan. This turned into a long-term position and set the course for Katherine’s role in space exploration. In 1960, she and engineer Ted Skopinski coauthored Determination of Azimuth Angle at Burnout for Placing a Satellite Over a Selected Earth Position, a report laying out the equations (方程式) describing an orbital spaceflight in which the landing position of the spacecraft is specified. It was the first time a woman in the Flight Research Division had received credit as an author of a research report. Her expertise was key to John Glenn’s orbit around Earth in 1962, with Glenn putting much of his confidence in Katherine to make the mission a success. As a part of the preflight checklist, Glenn asked engineers to “get the girl” — Johnson — to run the same numbers through the same equations that had been programmed into the computer, but by hand, on her desktop mechanical calculating machine. “If she says they’re good,” Katherine Johnson remembered the astronaut saying, “then I’m ready to go.” 1.What can we learn about Katherine Johnson’s life experience? A. Her parents attached great importance to her education. B. She was the only Black student to enter West Virginia University in 1939. C. She took the lead of the West Area Computing section. D. She joined the NACA organization after NASA had been established. 2.Why does the writer quote (引用) John Glenn’s words in the last paragraph? A. To explain Johnson’s hand calculation (计算) was tough. B. To highlight John Glenn was a strict mission leader. C. To prove Johnson’s hand calculations were reliable. D. To illustrate the computer’s data was not trustworthy. 3.Which of the following can best describe Katherine Johnson? A. Modest and sociable. B. Talented and hardworking. C. Stubborn and ambitious. D. Considerate and cooperative. 4.What is the best title for the text? A. Katherine Johnson: A Lifetime of Educational Pursuits B. The Story of a “Computer”: Katherine Johnson’s Early Life at NASA C. Katherine Johnson: A Pioneering Force in Space Exploration D. Mathematics: The Key to John Glenn’s Historic Space Flight Passage 4 （25-26高二上·湖北省级示范高中教育教学改革联盟·期中）Born into a family with a deep passion for nature, Bindi Irwin has become a globally recognized wildlife conservationist, following in the remarkable footsteps of her father, the legendary “Crocodile Hunter” Steve Irwin.

National Academy of Sciences (NAS) announced its new members, including Chinese pharmacologist Tu Youyou, who was elected a foreign associate member. This election powerfully recognizes Tu’s lifelong contributions — especially her groundbreaking discovery of artemisinin, a malaria-fighting wonder drug that has saved millions of lives. Tu Youyou was born in Ningbo in 1930. At 16, her battle with tuberculosis (肺结核) inspired her mission to relieve human suffering through science, leading her to Peking University in 1951, where her strict academic training laid the groundwork for her future work at the intersection (交叉) of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and modern science. After graduation, she conducted vital research on herbal medicines, clarifying long-standing confusion over plant species. In 1969, Tu led a team to comb through 2,000 ancient TCM texts and folk cures. A 4th-century text eventually inspired a key idea: extracting Artemisia annua (sweet wormwood) with ether (乙醚) could preserve its active part. After 190 failed experiments, success came. By 1972, her team had extracted pure artemisinin, proved safety on themselves, and confirmed its effectiveness. Artemisinin has revolutionized malaria treatment, reducing incidence by 37% and death rate by 60% between 2000 and 2015, saving an estimated 5.9 million children’s lives (WHO, 2015). This achievement earned Tu the 2011 Lasker Award and, in 2015, the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine — the first Nobel in a scientific field for a Chinese scientist and a landmark for TCM’s global recognition. She later received China’s Highest National Science and Technology Award (2016) and was named among Time’s 100 Most Influential Women (2020). Nevertheless, Tu remains humble, emphasizing that artemisinin is “a gift from TCM and the collective effort of her team.” At 94, she rises at dawn to monitor resistance trials, records every data point by hand, and personally replies to rural doctors seeking advice. Her humility, resilience, and quiet dedication continue to inspire scientists worldwide. 1.What motivated Tu Youyou’s career in medical science? A. Reading a 4th-century text on herbal medicine. B. Fighting against a serious disease at age 16. C. Studying at Peking University in 1951. D. Witnessing the deadly impact of malaria. 2.What key step finally led to the success of her study? A. Heating Artemisia annua in boiling water for hours. B. Switching from water to ether as the extracting liquid. C. Testing the 190th sample on laboratory animals. D. Consulting Western pharmacology textbooks. 3.The last paragraph best reveals that Tu is ________. A. talented B. ambitious C. cautious D. modest 4.What does the passage mainly convey? A. Breakthroughs result from commitment and persistence. B. Individual genius weighs more than teamwork in fighting disease. C. Global recognition turns local herbs into widespread cures. D. Future study focuses on developing modern drugs from herbal sources. 主题语境02 人与社会-社会服务与人际沟通 Passage 1 （25-26高二上·浙江9+1联盟-11月·期中）As 18,000 hockey fans crowded into Climate Pledge Arena for the Seattle Kraken’s first home game, Brian Hamilton, the assistant equipment manager for the visiting Vancouver Canucks, laid out the team’s hockey sticks, masks and bottled water. As he did so, he didn’t notice the woman, Nadia Popovici, who sat directly behind him. Nor did she pay much attention to him. That would change soon. Halfway through the action, Popovici’s eyes locked onto something peculiar on the man. Through the glass, she spotted an odd-looking mole (痣) on the back of Hamilton’s neck, reddish with an irregular border. She had seen plenty like it as a hospital volunteer and soon-to-be medical student. It was a melanoma (黑素瘤). “It’s so uncomfortable to have something on your body pointed out,” she told the Seattle Times. But she knew she had to say something. As Hamilton walked near the ice between periods, Popovici, in Kraken gear, knocked hard on the glass, typed a message on her phone and held the screen high enough: “The mole on the back of your neck looks like cancerous. Go see a doctor!” Hamilton glanced at the brightly-lit message for only a second. That’s weird, he thought. Walking away, he uneasily rubbed the back of his neck. A few days later, he visited the Canucks’ doctor, who agreed that the mole looked alarming and ordered a biopsy (活组织检查). It came back positive — a stage-Ⅱ malignant melanoma, life-threatening if left unattended. Hamilton had the cancerous mole removed, and the surgery was excellent. “She took me out of a slow fire,” says Hamilton. “The words out of the doctor’s mouth were if I ignored that for four to five years, I wouldn’t be here.” The two connected at the next Canucks-Kraken game, where Hamilton was able to thank her in person. No thanks were necessary, Popovici said. “It was just one moment in our lives where we crossed paths at the right time.” 1.What made Popovici decide to tell Hamilton about the spot on his neck? A. Medical knowledge. B. Personal relationship. C. Overheard comments. D. Professional responsibility. 2.How did Popovici communicate her concern to Hamilton during the game? A. By shouting aloud from a distance. B. By asking a doctor for help. C. By showing him the message on the phone. D. By writing a note behind the glass. 3.How did Hamilton feel when saying “She took me out of a slow fire”? A. Terrified. B. Annoyed. C. Surprised. D. Grateful. 4.What message does the story convey? A. Silence is golden. B. Prepare for a rainy day. C. Opportunity knocks but once. D. Help is a voice, not just a feeling. Passage 2 （25-26高二上·福建福宁五校联合体·期中）The first model was Napster, 11 lovely American Staffordshire terrier. She was just 5 months old when she was rescued from an animal cruelty situation. Although safe in the shelter environment, she was there for over a year and developed behavioral issues. No one stopped forward to adopt her. Miller, an animal behavior consultant, and Spidle, both from Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, signed up to do a “paint your pet” event together, and saw Napster’s inner beauty and potential. “I really wanted to help get her out and into a foster (寄养的) home,” Miller tells Daily Paws. She used a picture of Napster as inspiration and created her first dog portrait (画像). Spidle says Napster’s story made a light bulb go off, and she and Miller brainstormed about how interesting it would be to help overlooked shelter dogs in Central Pennsylvania get adopted through art. In 2019, they started the nonprofit Cheddar Paws Dog Art. Miller and Spidle aren’t professional artists, but in addition to their full-time jobs, they’re enthusiastic animal advocates. They persuaded local businesses to hang dog portraits with shelter information. Other artists stepped forward to donate their time and talent to give each pup (小狗) the star treatment. The result? Pure magic. “To date, we’ve painted 197 dogs, and 138 have been adopted,” says Spidle. She adds that when a shelter pup is gone before finding a home, Cheddar Paws donates their painting as a memorial piece. Unfortunately, Napster crossed the rainbow bridge shortly after the pair met her. Miller’s initial portraits of this sweet pup remind her of the work she and Spidle hope to do with other pets. They celebrate each success on social media. “It’s so rewarding to be able to post a long-term with ‘Adopted’ stamped on their portrait!” Spidle says. “We can’t wait to see those numbers go up!” 1.Why did Miller and Spidle create Cheddar Paws Dog Art?

Passage 3 （25-26高二上·湖北省级示范高中·期中）As Amy Hagadorn turned the hallway corner near her classroom, she bumped into a tall fifth-grader running the other way. “Watch where you’re going, kid!” he shouted, stepping around her. Then he smiled meanly, held his right leg, and copied how Amy walked with a limp. Amy closed her eyes. “Ignore him.” she told herself, heading to class. By day’s end, she still thought about his teasing. Since third grade, someone had made fun of her every day — about her speech or limp from cerebral palsy. Even in a full classroom, it made her lonely. At dinner that night, Amy was quiet. Her mom Patti shared exciting news: a radio Christmas wish contest — write to Santa for a prize. “You, with blonde curls, should join.” her mom said. Amy laughed, then smiled at an idea. She took pencil and paper, starting, “Dear Santa Claus, …” While Amy wrote, her family guessed her wish: her sister Jamie and mom thought a 3-foot Barbie, her dad a picture book. But Amy kept it secret. Her letter read: “I’m Amy, 9. Kids laugh at how I walk, run, talk. I have cerebral palsy. I just want one day without teasing.” At Indiana’s WJLT radio, many letters arrived. Manager Lee Tobin read Amy’s letter, knowing cerebral palsy confused her classmates. He called the local paper. Next day, Amy’s photo and letter were on the News Sentinel front page. The story spread nationwide. Soon, mail flooded her home — greetings and encouragement from across the U.S. Over 2,000 people worldwide sent support; some had disabilities, some were teased as kids. Amy felt less lonely. She got her wish: a teasing-free day at South Wayne Elementary. Teachers and students talked about how bad teasing is. That year, Fort Wayne’s mayor named December 21st “Amy Jo Hagadorn Day”, saying “Everyone deserves respect, dignity and kindness.” 1.What did the fifth-grader do after bumping into Amy? A. He helped her pick up her books. B. He apologized for running too fast. C. He imitated her way of walking. D. He reported the incident to the teacher. 2.Why was Amy quiet at dinner? A. She was upset about being teased. B. She was busy writing her letter to Santa. C. She didn’t like the dinner food. D. She felt tired from the day’s classes. 3.What did Amy’s family guess her Christmas wish might be? A. A day without being teased. B. A 3-foot Barbie or a picture book. C. A radio interview with Santa. D. A photo on the front page of the newspaper. 4.What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To describe Amy’s daily life with cerebral palsy. B. To show the power of kindness against teasing. C. To introduce a radio Christmas wish contest. D. To explain how to deal with physical disabilities. Passage 4 （25-26高二上·河北名校联考·期中）Seeking comfort in a disorderly world, Jennie Brennan and Jacob Peter have found an unlikely source of wellbeing: quietly rescuing and helping London’s pigeons (鸽子). Pigeons in urban areas often suffer from a preventable condition known as “stringfoot”, in which litter (垃圾) such as thread, fishing line or human hair gets wrapped around their toes. Untreated, the birds can lose a toe, or even a whole foot. “There are so many problems in my life and in the lives of people I care about that I can’t really do anything about,” said Brennan, of the London Pigeon Rescue. “But what I can do is save a pigeon’s life, or their toes, or restore their abilities. That might seem like a small difference, but to that pigeon, it’s massive.” On rescues, the pair of volunteers use seeds to attract pigeons, then gently cover them with a kitchen towel before removing any tight trash with scissors. “It’s a man-made problem,” Brennan said. “I think someone needs to be responsible for helping them with the problem that we’ve created.” Brennan first began feeding pigeons in 2021 after reading they were going hungry. Over time, she began noticing injuries and sought help on Facebook from Peter, who was already rescuing birds. Since then, the two have worked together and attempted to tend to the birds three to four times a week, often responding to tips from concerned members of the public. “Liking pigeons as much as I do means that I have little friends everywhere I go. I was busy, stressed, and felt a bit sorry for myself. Then I saw a couple of pigeons pass by, and it instantly brightened my day,” Brennan said. 1.What is a main problem that urban pigeons in London often suffer from? A. A shortage of food. B. Attacks from other animals. C. Exposure to extreme weather. D. Getting caught in human-made litter. 2.How does Brennan feel about rescuing pigeons? A. It is a lifelong commitment. B. It is surprisingly easy to get into. C. It brings her a sense of purpose and joy. D. It is stressful and takes up too much time. 3.How did Brennan and Peter start working together? A. Through contact on Facebook. B. By meeting at a wildlife shelter. C. Through their friends’ introduction. D. With the help of the London Pigeon Rescue. 4.What is the main idea of the text? A. Ways to prevent stringfoot in pigeons. B. A mission to rescue London’s pigeons. C. The harm of litter to urban pigeons. D. Two volunteers’ daily life in London. 主题语境03 人与自我-做人与做事 （25-26高二上·安徽·鼎尖名校期中）During my childhood in Ireland, few things brought me as much delight as a rainy day, for it promised the possibility of a magical pursuit — treasure hunting. In Irish stories, leprechauns — small magical creatures-hide their pots of gold where the rainbow ends. Legend has it that they have to unwillingly give you their gold if you can find the end of the rainbow. Though I never did unearth any treasure, those rainy days were filled with wonder and imagination. As I grew older, however, my childhood dream faded. Yet for some, that dream never fades — and for a fortunate few, it even becomes a reality. Such is the case of Mel Fisher, whose dream of finding treasure also began in childhood while reading classics like Treasure Island. Unlike me, he pursued this dream and ultimately became a renowned treasure hunter. After searching for over 16 years, he located the Atocha, a Spanish ship that sank off the coast of Florida in 1622. Inside were gold bars, silver coins, and precious jewels, valued at approximately $ 400 million. However, gaining the treasure was not all plain sailing. After fighting against tough conditions at sea, the State of Florida took Fisher to court over ownership of the find. After more than 200 hearings, Fisher agreed to donate 20% of his findings to a museum in Florida, where you can see many objects from the Atocha. This story, however, brings about many debates. Archaeologists argue that commercial treasure hunts lead to the loss of cultural heritage, describing such activities as undersea “plundering (劫掠). Nevertheless, advocates claim professional hunters like Fisher contribute to history by carefully documenting each discovery and making it accessible to the public through museum donations and information on websites. Now, I learn that the rainbow’s end is beyond my reach, but to my relief, with just a click of the mouse, I too can appreciate the “riches” from the Atocha! Just as Nietzsche wisely said, “Our treasure lies in the beehive of our knowledge.” 1.Why was the author so fond of rainy day as a child? A. It allowed time for reading Irish stories. B. It created chances to seek hidden treasure. C. She found pleasure in walking through the rain. D. She desired to meet leprechauns hiding in the rain. 2.What inspired Mel Fisher to go treasure hunting? A. A lifelong love for exploration. B. Stories from his childhood reads. C. The discovery of an ancient sunken ship. D. A previous trip to Ireland for treasure. 3.What do the underlined words “all plain sailing” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Entirely smooth. B. Highly profitable. C. Particularly difficult. D. Completely predictable. 4.What is mainly conveyed in the last paragraph? A. The Atocha’s treasures are within everyone’s reach. B. Childhood dreams should give way to practical gains. C. Technology makes treasure hunting accessible to everyone. D. True treasure lies in the wealth of knowledge one can obtain. 主题语境04 人与自我-生活与学习 Passage 1 （25-26高二上·辽宁辽西重点高中·期中）Facebook has turned out to be one of the most visited and most popular social media sites in the world. When it comes to talking about Facebook, we cannot stop ourselves from describing its creator, Mark Zuckerberg. His success story and Facebook have inspired many people all over the world in different ways. Mark Zuckerberg was born into a well-educated family and developed an interest in computer programming at an early age. His first computer was a Quantex 486DX, powered by the Intel 486 processor. When Mark was 12 years old, his father introduced him to Atari BASIC Programming. At such a young age, Mark managed to use the program to come up with his own messenger called the ZuckNet. Thanks to his first creation, all the computers in his house were connected to the ones in his father’s dental office. Within that connected system, the computer users were allowed to send messages to each other. Mark Zuckerberg created his billion-dollar social networking site based on a simple concept. He was trying to compare photos of two different people and he invited other people to vote and decide which one was better looking. At Harvard University, with his three classmates, he had come up with the Facebook’s predecessor, Facemash. Mark Zuckerberg finally started to write the code for a new website later known as Facebook in 2004. This new site was equipped with new ideas and more useful features, including a section where users can share their comments. Facebook managed to become popular with many more users at many universities around the country. It only took less than a few months for Mark Zuckerberg to spread his networking site to countless numbers of schools and universities in the United States and Canada. Six years later TIME magazine made him Person of the Year for his social networking site. In 2018, Forbes included Mark in the list of the 400 richest people in the world. 1.What’s Zuckerberg’s first achievement as a programmer? A. A billion-dollar social networking site. B. Atari BASIC Programming. C. Facemash. D. Messenger ZuckNet. 2.What do we know about Facebook? A. Mark wrote the code for it with his classmates B. Mark first managed to spread it among IT business.

In 2010 4.Which of the following have contributed to Zucketherg’ success? ①support of his family ②Gift for computer programming ③Popularity at university ④Teamwork A. ①②③ B. ①③④ C. ①②④ D. ②③④ Passage 2 （25-26高二上·辽宁辽南协作体·期中）I used to hate old books. When I say “old books”, I don’t mean classics, though. I mean books with yellow pages, broken spines and odd wood-like smells that you need to be careful not to break because they are already so worn down and bring you severe discomfort. One can assume that I didn’t own many old books. I had merely a few here and there that my parents had gifted me, but nothing too special. In the fourth grade,I was ready to explore a new world of reading, one that went beyond the likes of children’s chapter books and teenagers’ topics. Just then, I found my parents’ old copies of the entire Harry Potter book series. Visually, my parents’ books were my worst nightmare. I remember thinking to myself that there was no way I would be able to read these books. However, I eventually had to come to terms with the fact that if I wanted to read the series, I would have to read my parents’ copies. And so began the terrible journey of reading seven old books. When it was time for me to read the final copy, I was kind of a changed woman. I still strongly disliked old books, but the plot of the entire Harry Potter series had attracted me so much that I had almost entirely forgotten what the books looked like. By the end, I had devoted the entire Harry Potter bookshelf in my room. Now, I love old books. While the covers are sometimes so worn down that you can barely read the title of the book, you can understand what it’s about anyway. After all, an old book is a representation of generations of readers who have chosen to live in a specific fictional world because the story it contains is just that good. Old books have meaning and I love how much they mean to me now. 1.What can we learn about the author from the first two paragraphs? A. She had a bad relationship with her parents. B. She felt uneasy about possessing worn-out books. C. She developed a taste for reading classic literature. D. Her parents frequently handed her old books as gifts. 2.How did the author react upon seeing her parents’ Harry Potter set in fourth grade? A. Puzzled. B. Frightened. C. Surprised. D. Discouraged. 3.What does the author mean by saying “I was kind of a changed woman” in paragraph 3? A. She agreed to shelve worn-out books. B. She discovered her true reading preferences. C. She began to take pleasure in fictional stories. D. She started to ignore the books’ outward condition. 4.What is the best title of the text? A. My Journey with Old Books B. My Passion for Reading C. My Meeting with the Harry Potter Series D. My Connection with Parents via Old Books 主题语境01 人与社会-历史、社会与文化 Passage 1 （25-26高二上·浙江七彩阳光·期中）Imagine growing up with a father suffering from schizophrenia, a mother limited to a wheelchair, and a serious heart condition that demands urgent medical treatment — all these health disasters struck a household struggling with being poor. For Pang Zhongwang, this was the bitter reality he faced from childhood. Yet rather than allowing such setbacks to defeat him, he transformed it into a powerful driving force to pursue his academic future. Born in 1999 in Wuqiao County, Hebei Province, Pang quickly learned the importance of balancing familial responsibilities with his academic enthusiasm. During his junior middle school years, he took on nighttime part-time jobs — stocking shelves in local stores and assisting at small shops — which helped relieve his family’s huge financial pressure. When he entered high school, he moved into the school dormitory, returning home only once a month. Even so, he never failed to write weekly letters to his mother, in which he assured her, “I’m studying hard. Things will get better soon.” Waking at 5 a.m. to memorize academic content, extending his study sessions into night and diving in books under dim streetlights were his routine. His classmates, impressed by his well organized notebooks filled with amazing notes, even praised them “Genius Guides”. Then came 2017 when his years of relentless grit finally paid off. He achieved a score of 684 on the Gaokao, China’s highly competitive national college entrance examination, and also earned an additional 60 bonus points through Tsinghua University’s special program for students from disadvantaged backgrounds. This outstanding performance earned him the title of Cangzhou’s top science student as well as securing him a spot in the Precision (精密) Instruments Department at Tsinghua University. While pursuing there, Pang declined any donation, but instead, self-funded his tuition and living expenses by tutoring younger students and doing part-time jobs. Today, Pang is a PhD student at Tsinghua University, still maintaining his strong work ethic by devoting long hours to research in precision instrument labs after completing his daily classes. 1.What was one of the difficulties in Pang Zhongwang’s childhood? A. His mother needed constant care. B. The family had to move frequently. C. His heart condition stopped his schooling. D. His father was occupied with his work. 2.How did Pang support his family during middle school? A. By seeking financial help from relatives. B. By working after school to earn money. C. By guiding his mother to work at local shops. D. By helping the local library to stock shelves. 3.What does the underlined phrase “relentless grit” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Persistent effort. B. Huge anxiety. C. Longtime adventure. D. Tight economy. 4.What lesson can be drawn from Pang Zhongwang’s story? A. A good beginning is half done. B. Always prepare for a rainy day. C. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. D. What doesn’t beat you makes you tougher. Passage 2 （25-26高二上·浙江G5联盟-11月·期中）Anita Nowinska found her long-lost box of pastels (蜡笔) while digging through a worn suitcase, using only a candle for light as her power was cut off. “By candlelight I created my first flower painting,” she recalls. “As I painted, I found the deep sadness and pain I was feeling disappeared. That single act saved me, healed me and gave me a sense of purpose.” It was not, as she puts it, the straightest of career paths. As an eight-year-old, Anita was invited to study alongside a master’s group. “It wouldn’t be allowed these days,” she says. Her mother, supportive, bought her oil paints; her father, less so, frequently destroyed her work. Later, Anita swapped (交换) paints for fast money. “It gave me a very nice lifestyle financially,” she says, “but it was soul-destroying.” Anita set aside her art to run a recruitment (招聘) business in the growing Internet sector, but she didn’t remember being happy throughout those years. When the dot-com bubble (互联网泡沫) burst, many of her clients were hit hard. Despite covering expenses with her own savings, her business ultimately sank. Today, she is known for her vast, immersive (沉浸式的) canvases of meadows (草地), wild grasses and flowers-paintings that ask you to stop, breathe and look. “I want the viewer to see what I see. That the smallest thing in nature has so much beauty and wonder.” She paints big because she wants you to feel enveloped, caught in the flicker of a slight wind. Art, for Anita, is a celebration of nature. “Walking through the greenery is my meditation (冥想),” she says. “These days we call it mindfulness, but for me it’s just immersing myself in wonder.” Viewers seem to agree. One woman in a wheelchair once sat with Anita’s work for three hours, later admitting it was the first time in 20 years she had felt no pain. That, for Anita, is the point. “I can’t teach you how to paint,” she says. “I can only teach you how to look.” And her latest series, See Me I Bloom carries that lesson into womanhood itself. “ It’s about women truly valuing themselves — their strength, their wisdom, their determination. We create and nurture life- what could be more important?” 1.What can be known about Anita’s early relationship with art in Paragraph 2? A. Her artistic talent was recognized early but she faced obstacles. B. She prioritized financial success over art from the beginning. C. Her parents fully supported her artistic pursuits. D. She received formal art education from a young age. 2.How did Anita feel about her years in the recruitment business? A. Successful and content. B. Challenging yet enjoyable. C. Empty and meaningless. D. Rewarding yet stressful. 3.Why does Anita paint large canvases? A. To distract viewers from technical imperfections. B. To create a sense of complete immersion in nature. C. To showcase her unique pastel techniques. D. To follow the trend of contemporary art forms. 4.Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. From Financial Success to Artistic Failure B. The Market Value of Nature Paintings C. Anita’s Art Story: How Painting Heals D. Anita’s Career Path: A New Start in Business Passage 3 （25-26高二上·福建福九联盟·期中）Jill Wheatley was a PE teacher in Germany. On the weekends she competed in marathons around Europe.But life threw her a near deadly blow. While teaching a PE class, she was hit in the head with a baseball. The impact was so great it left her with a brain injury and 70 percent vision loss, permanently blinding her in one eye. She spent 26 months in seven different hospitals, at times wishing it would just all end. Desperately, Wheatley set out to find comfort and healing in nature. She travelled to Nepal where a friend convinced her to run in the Annapurna 100 with him. The power from that race changed her life and eventually had her looking up at the tops of the mountains. Project Vision 8000 was born. And she began her mission to stand on top of the world’s 14 highest mountains, towering 8, 000 metres above sea level, to show herself and others the power in choice and possibility. Colours, and touch help guide her on the mountain and she has never once felt too tired to carry on.“The only thing constant is change, so when the weather gets really bad or a storm is coming in,I know it is going to pass.”So far, she’s had few problems standing among giants, but she admits she continues to struggle with overcoming: the “mountains of her mind”. Having already stared death in the face, Wheatley has great respect for the mountains and the mission she is on. But she’s not seared. The experience almost claimed her life, but it is now the driving force and fuel behind her success.At every icy peak, she smiles and takes a quick video with a breathless “so very thankful” whispered into the thin air. 1.What happened to Wheatley according to paragraph 1?

The book, titled Silent Spring, told a troubling story: if humans continued to use harmful chemicals (called pesticides) freely, birds might stop singing, rivers might lose their fish, and the once lively natural world could become “silent”. When the book first came out, many people were shocked — some even argued against it, especially chemical companies. But over time, its words started a global conversation about protecting the environment. The author of this influential book was Rachel Carson. She was born in 1907 in a small town in Pennsylvania, USA. As a child, Carson spent most of her free time exploring the woods and streams near her family’s farm. She loved watching birds build nests and collecting small plants, and she often wrote down her observations in a notebook. Her deep affection for nature from a young age motivated her to pursue a degree in biology at the university, where she learned how all living things — from tiny insects to large trees — are connected. After college, Carson worked as a scientist for the U. S. government, where she studied the ocean and wrote articles about marine life for a popular magazine. She also published several books about the ocean, but none gained as much attention as Silent Spring. To write this book, Carson spent four years researching. She read hundreds of scientific studies and talked to farmers, scientists, and fishermen who had seen the damage pesticides caused — like birds dying after eating poisonous insects, or fish floating dead in rivers. Carson knew her book would face criticism. At that time, pesticides were widely seen as a “miracle” tool to kill pests and protect crops. But she believed people had a right to know the truth about their dangers. Even after Silent Spring was published, she continued to speak up for the environment, even when her health was failing. Sadly, she died in 1964, just two years after her book came out. But her work lived on: Silent Spring led the U.S. government to ban the most harmful pesticides, and it inspired millions of people to start caring about protecting the planet. Today, she is still remembered as one of the first people to warn the world about the risks of harming nature. 1.Why did people argue against Silent Spring when it first appeared? A. It threatened the interests of most industries. B. It talked about nature, which few people cared about. C. It was too difficult for ordinary readers to understand. D. It criticized the use of pesticides, which many supported. 2.What can we infer about Rachel’s childhood? A. Her hobby markedly impacted her later academic choice. B. She learned about the harm of pesticides during this period. C. She was encouraged to study plants and birds by her parents. D. Her family’s farm was too small to allow her to explore nature. 3.Why did Carson spend four years researching? A. To work with famous university to test the pesticides. B. To travel around the world to study all the marine life. C. To collect enough evidence about the harm of pesticides. D. To learn how to write a convincing book with scientific support. 4.What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To prove the accuracy of Rachel’s studies. B. To introduce Rachel Carson and her influence. C. To describe the process of writing Silent Spring. D. To explain how pesticides harm the environment. Passage 2 （25-26高二上·湖北部分省级示范高中·期中）20-year-old Edgar McGregor decided to visit his local park, Eaton Canyon, day in and day out to pick up as much litter as he could fit in two buckets (提桶). Now, over 589 days and 19,000 Twitter followers later, he is more passionate (热爱的) than ever about his task to save the planet! Edgar found out that Los Angeles would be the host of the 2028 Summer Olympic Games. Knowing the state of the national forest at the time, he feared that its grounds that were full of litter would make the city a “global embarrassment,” so he decided to make cleaning it up his new passion project. As time went on, he began documenting his progress on Twitter. Soon, he began encouraging others to start park cleanup projects of their own. As part of southern California’s Angeles National Forest, Eaton Canyon can see quite a bit of daily foot traffic. On one particularly busy day, Edgar spent five hours picking up litter and came away with over 1,000 pounds of rubbish. Rain or shine, Edgar headed over to carry out his task. He worked through conditions like snowstorms, a record heat wave, and even a forest fire on the opposite side of the park. The more he did, the more treasures he discovered. In addition to a lot of old iPhones and cans, Edgar collected enough recyclables to earn around 30 dollars every few weeks, which he would donate to nonprofits. Recently, Edgar began noticing that the top-littered areas in his park were becoming few and far between. At one point, he spent four hours moving around the park and only returned with two buckets. Edgar plans to return to Eaton Canyon two or three times a week to keep up with the maintenance, but he is excited to start expanding his reach to new locations. Though he realizes this doesn’t mean his journey is complete, he is excited to have already achieved so much! 1.Why is the 2028 Summer Olympic Games mentioned? A. To describe what made Edgar famous.
