Child care refers to care provided while parents are working, before children are old enough to attend school. Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham, a Democrat, announced that all families in New Mexico will be qualified for free child care starting on November 1. The announcement fulfills a promise made by the governor and the state legislature in 2019. Low-income families have already had access to free child care, and now the program will expand (扩大) to cover families of all income levels. To meet the increased need, the state said it plans to set up more than 50 new child care centers and about 1,000 homes to serve as smaller child care operations. The program will be paid for in part through taxes collected from oil and gas industries. In surveys, most Americans see finding affordable and quality child care as a major concern. Child care costs the average US family about $13,000 per child per year. Politicians have debated the idea of universal child care for many years, and New Mexico is the first state to carry it out. Officials said that about 12,000 more children could be qualified for the program. “Child care is important to family stability, workforce participation, and New Mexico’s future prosperity,” Lujan Grisham said, adding that free care is life-changing because the money saved on child care can go toward other major expenses, like groceries. Other elected officials, including Rebecca Dow, a Republican state lawmaker, argued that not considering the income requirement is a mistake and will help upper-income families who don’t need it. Lujan Grisham has asked the state to provide $120 million in annual funding to cover the costs of the program. The state plans to launch a campaign to hire more child care providers, and loans will be made available to encourage the opening of new child care centers. Other states and cities could also follow suit. 1.What does New Mexico plan to do to meet more child care need? A. Build new child care centers and homes. B. Raise taxes to open more child care centers. C. Let teachers help with child care after school. D. Close old child care centers and rebuild them. 2.What can we know about child care in the US in Paragraph 3? A. All families can afford it easily. B. The government pays for the costs. C. The costs are very low for most families. D. Average families spend a lot on it yearly. 3.What is Rebecca Dow’s attitude toward the new program? A. Supportive. B. Doubtful. C. Objective. D. Uninterested. 4.What would be the best title for the text? A. New Mexico Offers Free Child Care for All. B. Free Child Care Plan Starts National Debates. C. Governor Promises Free Child Care for All Families. D. The First State Spends $120 Million on Child Education. 【答案】1. A　2. D　3. B　4. A 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇新闻报道。美国新墨西哥州将成为全美首个向所有收入水平家庭提供免费儿童保育的州，该政策于 2024 年 11 月 1 日生效，是 2019 年的承诺落地。政策通过新增保育设施、投入资金等保障实施，旨在缓解家庭保育压力，同时引发支持与反对两种声音，为全美同类政策提供参考。 (1)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“To meet the increased need, the state said it plans to set up more than 50 new child care centers and about 1,000 homes to serve as smaller child care operations.(为满足增长的需求，该州表示计划新建50多所儿童保育中心，并将约1000处住宅用作小型儿童看护点。)”可知，新墨西哥州通过新建保育中心和改造住宅作为看护点来满足需求，故选A项。 (2)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Child care costs the average US family about $13,000 per child per year.(美国家庭平均每个孩子每年的儿童保育支出约为1.3万美元。)”可知，普通家庭每年在儿童保育上花费高昂。故选D项。 (3)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Other elected officials, including Rebecca Dow, a Republican state lawmaker, argued that not considering the income requirement is a mistake and will help upper-income families who don’t need it.(包括共和党州议员丽贝卡·多伊在内的其他当选官员认为，不设置收入要求是一个错误，会让不需要帮助的高收入家庭受益。)”可知，丽贝卡·多伊明确反对项目不设收入限制的做法，持怀疑态度。故选B项。 (4)题解析： 主旨大意题。通读全文，根据第一段“New Mexico is set to become the first in the nation to offer free child care to families of all income (收入) levels.(新墨西哥州将成为美国首个向所有收入水平家庭提供免费儿童保育服务的州。)”以及后文讲述该政策的实施时间、资金来源、配套措施及各方反应 可推断A选项“新墨西哥州推出全民免费儿童保育服务”为最佳标题，概况了主旨。故选A项。 Passage 2 （25-26高一上·浙江山海协作体-11月·期中）The head of Ofsted said that if he should return to school leadership, one of his first decisions would be to impose (颁布) a ban (禁令) on smartphones. Sir Martyn Oliver reflected on his experience as a head teacher in 2009, when a simple order to “put your phone away” worked really well. “But after the Covid lockdown, that suddenly wasn’t enough,” he said. “When you said, ‘Put your phone away,’ I saw children still taking it out. Something fundamentally changed.” Speaking at an event on Tuesday evening hosted by The Times and Parentkind, Oliver said “phones became better and smarter. Social media became very important in children’s lives just as we set them off to school. The best schools have great relationships with their parents and great relationships with their children. If I go back to being a head teacher, I wouldn’t just say “put your phone away”, I would ban them. Ban, ban, ban them ... I mean not to have them at the start of the day and not getting them back until the end of the day. Head teachers can make that decision.” Almost all schools in England have implemented (实施) some form of phone ban and the discussion of smartphone use in schools also drew strong views from experts who urged (催促) the government to take a view of the problem beyond the classroom. Dame Rachel, the Children’s Commissioner (儿童事务专员) for England, said she did not believe ministers “talk enough about family or supporting family”. She added: “It’s easy for them to talk about banning phones in schools. What I think they need to be doing is thinking outside of the school day. How do we help parents? How do we give them advice and guidance?” Justine Roberts, chief executive of Mumsnet, described smartphones as “dangerous and addictive by design”, while Jason Elsom, chief executive of Parentkind, likened them to drugs: “But it’s digital drugs. You’re constantly thinking about it because that’s what smartphones do to you — constant dopamine (多巴胺) hits.” Research by ParentKind found that a third of parents admitted to setting a bad example to their children and ignoring their children sometimes when looking at their phones. 1.What made Sir Martyn Oliver change his attitude towards students’ smartphone use at school? A. The poor effect of the order “put your phone away” after Covid lockdown. B. The importance of social media in children’s lives. C. The advice from other school leaders and experts. D. The smartphones’ becoming better. 2.According to Sir Martyn Oliver, what should schools do regarding smartphones? A. Allow limited use of smartphones during breaks. B. Teach students how to use smartphones responsibly. C. Let teachers decide when students can use phones. D. Completely ban students from bringing phones to school all day. 3.What is Dame Rachel’s attitude to the government’s approach to the smartphone issue? A. She thought highly of it. B. She didn’t care about it. C. She wasn’t satisfied with it. D. She didn’t approve of it. 4.What is this passage mainly about? A. Negative effect of smart phones. B. Government’s guidance on phone use. C. Parents’ influence on children’s phone use. D. Ways to deal with smart phones in school and at home. 【答案】1. A　2. D　3. C　4. D 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讨论了英国学校对智能手机使用的管控措施，包括教育监管机构负责人、专家及家长对此的看法和建议。 (1)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第二段“Sir Martyn Oliver reflected on his experience as a head teacher in 2009, when a simple order to “put your phone away” worked really well. “But after the Covid lockdown, that suddenly wasn’t enough,” he said. “When you said, ‘Put your phone away,’ I saw children still taking it out. Something fundamentally changed.”(马廷·奥利弗爵士回顾了他2009年担任校长的经历，当时一句简单的“把手机收起来”的命令非常有效。“但在新冠疫情封锁之后，这突然就不够了，”他说。“当你说‘把手机收起来’时，我看到孩子们仍然把它拿出来。有些根本性的东西发生了变化。”)”可知，新冠疫情封锁后，“把手机收起来”的命令效果不佳，这使马廷·奥利弗爵士改变了对学生在学校使用智能手机的态度。故选A。 (2)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第三段中“If I go back to being a head teacher, I wouldn’t just say ‘put your phone away’, I would ban them. Ban, ban, ban them ... I mean not to have them at the start of the day and not getting them back until the end of the day. Head teachers can make that decision.(如果我再当校长，我不会只说“把手机收起来”，我会禁止它们。禁止，禁止，禁止……我的意思是，一天开始的时候不要带手机，直到一天结束的时候才拿回来。校长可以做出这个决定。)”可知，马廷·奥利弗爵士认为学校应该完全禁止学生整天带手机到学校。故选D。 (3)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第四段中“Dame Rachel, the Children’s Commissioner (儿童事务专员) for England, said she did not believe ministers “talk enough about family or supporting family”. She added: “It’s easy for them to talk about banning phones in schools. What I think they need to be doing is thinking outside of the school day. How do we help parents? How do we give them advice and guidance?”(英格兰儿童事务专员雷切尔夫人表示，她不相信部长们“对家庭或支持家庭谈论得足够多”。她补充说：“对他们来说，谈论在学校禁止手机很容易。我认为他们需要做的是在上学时间之外思考。我们如何帮助家长？我们如何给他们提供建议和指导？”)”可知，雷切尔夫人认为政府对智能手机问题的做法不够全面，她对此不满意。故选C。 (4)题解析： 主旨大意题。通读全文，特别是根据第四段中“Almost all schools in England have implemented (实施) some form of phone ban and the discussion of smartphone use in schools also drew strong views from experts who urged (催促) the government to take a view of the problem beyond the classroom.(几乎所有英国学校都实施了某种形式的手机禁令，学校智能手机使用的讨论也引起了专家们的强烈关注，他们敦促政府从课堂之外的角度看待这个问题。)”可知，文章主要讨论了英国学校对智能手机使用的管控措施，包括教育监管机构负责人、专家及家长对此的看法和建议。故选D。 主题语境02 人与自我-生活与学习 （25-26高一上·浙江强基联盟-11月·期中）One quiet afternoon in France in her working place, wood crafting (木制工艺) artist Hua Yong found herself watching water boil. Without thinking, she reached for her phone and looked at the screen again. At that very moment, she realized how much modern life is controlled by speed. “We are completely caught up by the quick speed of life,” she said. “It’s becoming harder to find time to relax among our daily mess of life.” Hua Yong, the 2024 receiver of the Hand of Wisdom prize, a China-France crafts exchange program, spent two months in Paris last year, which allowed her to think deeply about the act of creation. She started trying simple shapes with straight lines and angles, doing them many times to make visual (视觉的) effects that seemed to go past time and space. “I thought about how to make something new from nothing, and used the highest standards of traditional Chinese skills to bring these ideas to life,” she said. “Wood crafting requires a lot of time,” she said. Her show Changing the World in Silence at Yishu8, a place for art in Beijing, was the most meaningful part of a year’s deep thought. Running until mid-June, the show has 25 pieces of artwork, 11 of which were made after her stay in Paris. Among the works was a vortex-shaped (旋涡状的) table, which drew the viewer’s mind into another world. “We hope all the artworks here quietly stay with the viewers, giving their minds a short break and a moment of relaxation,” described Hua. “She has long worked with traditional Chinese materials and kept thinking,” said Su Dan, the art leader of Hand of Wisdom, watching Hua’s change since her return. “Works made in such deep thought become perfect models of designing ideas: They may last only for a short time in our daily life, but remain forever in our mind.” 1.What is the purpose of the first paragraph? A. To show the artist’s skill in wood crafting. B. To explain the artist’s mess of life in detail. C. To describe the artist’s working environment. D. To introduce the artist’s idea about modern life. 2.How did Hua Yong’s experience in Paris influence her creation? A. It won her the Hand of Wisdom prize. B. It offered her thoughts on Chinese skills. C. It changed her understanding of creation. D. It gave her some simple shapes to work with. 3.Why was “a vortex- shaped table” included in her show at Yishu 8? A. To test viewers’ interest in wooden art. B. To show the highest standards of skills. C. To make it remain forever in viewers’ mind. D. To give viewers’ minds a getaway from daily life. 4.What can we learn from Su Dan’s words about Hua Yong’s artworks? A. They do not last for a long time. B. They require too much time to make. C. They provide perfect models for viewers. D. They leave a lasting impression on viewers. 【答案】1. D　2. C　3. D　4. D 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了木制工艺艺术家华雍在巴黎的经历对她创作的影响以及她作品的展示和意义。 (1)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第一段中“One quiet afternoon in France in her working place, wood crafting (木制工艺) artist Hua Yong found herself watching water boil. Without thinking, she reached for her phone and looked at the screen again. At that very moment, she realized how much modern life is controlled by speed. “We are completely caught up by the quick speed of life,” she said. “It’s becoming harder to find time to relax among our daily mess of life.”(在法国一个宁静的午后，华雍在她的工作场所——一处木制工艺创作地，发现自己正看着水烧开。她不假思索地伸手又看向手机屏幕。就在那一刻，她意识到现代生活受速度的掌控程度有多深。“我们完全被生活的快节奏裹挟了，”她说道，“在日常生活的一团乱麻中，要找到放松的时间正变得越来越难。”)”可知，第一段的目的是介绍艺术家对现代生活的看法。故选D。 (2)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Hua Yong, the 2024 receiver of the Hand of Wisdom prize, a China-France crafts exchange program, spent two months in Paris last year, which allowed her to think deeply about the act of creation.(华雍是2024年“智慧之手”奖（中法工艺交流项目）的获得者，去年在巴黎待了两个月，这让她对创作行为进行了深入思考。)”可知，华雍在巴黎的经历改变了她对创作的理解。故选C。 (3)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Among the works was a vortex-shaped (旋涡状的) table, which drew the viewer’s mind into another world. “We hope all the artworks here quietly stay with the viewers, giving their minds a short break and a moment of relaxation,” described Hua.(其中有一件漩涡形状的桌子，将观众的思想引入另一个世界。“我们希望这里的所有艺术品都能静静地陪伴着观众，让他们的思想得到短暂的休息和放松，”华雍描述道。)”可知，在展览中加入“漩涡形桌子”是为了让观众的思想从日常生活中解脱出来。故选D。 (4)题解析： 细节理解题。根据最后一段““She has long worked with traditional Chinese materials and kept thinking,” said Su Dan, the art leader of Hand of Wisdom, watching Hua’s change since her return. “Works made in such deep thought become perfect models of designing ideas: They may last only for a short time in our daily life, but remain forever in our mind.”(“她长期使用中国传统材料，并不断思考，”智慧之手的艺术负责人苏丹说，他观察着华雍回国后的变化。“经过如此深入思考的作品成为设计理念的完美典范：它们可能只在我们日常生活中存在很短的时间，但却永远留在我们的脑海中。”)”可知，从苏丹关于华雍艺术作品的话中我们可以了解到它们给观众留下了持久的印象。故选D。 主题语境01 人与社会-历史、社会与文化 Passage 1 （25-26高一上·浙江G5联盟-11月·期中）Are you a short video app user? If so, you’re likely more familiar with 15-second sped-up pieces of songs than with the original ones. This trend has emerged on social media platforms, particularly TikTok, where creators change the tempo (节奏) of popular songs by 25-30 percent to match short popular videos featuring dances or other themes. This practice has become widespread on social media where podcasts, voice notes, movies and other content can be made faster and thus enjoyed more quickly. Mary Beth Ray, an author focused on digital music culture, told the BBC, “Short clips provide a quicker line to that dopamine (多巴胺) rush social media wants us to feel, so there is an addictive element we’re pushed towards.” That’s why these adapted versions (版本) have helped some musicians climb the singles charts. For example, in November 2022, fan-created sped-up versions of RAYE’s single Escapism made the artist achieve her first-ever No. 1 on the UK Singles Chart nearly three months after its first release. However, not everyone is happy with this trend. The rise of speed-adjusted versions can make it difficult to tell the original and remixed songs apart, potentially changing the artist’s well-designed tempo, mood and feeling. This presents a modern challenge — how can artists create the next hit song when the version people actually listen to may sound completely different? Moreover, if artists don’t release their own sped-up versions, they and producers may face economic losses as more fan-made remixes are uploaded. According to Forbes, in November 2023, at least 1 million songs on streaming platforms were sped up and published without the artist’s permission. Experts noted that these songs brought in millions in total earnings for the uploaders instead of the rightful copyright (版权) holders”. While some artists accept this trend and others less so, it appears here to stay. For 23-year-old UK producer Cathy, changing speed and tempo is a key part of her creative process. “I like listening to my song three times over — sped-up, slowed, and at normal speed,” she told the BBC. “Each version gives a totally different feel, each opening the door to new audiences.” 1.Why are sped-up songs popular, according to Dr Mary Beth Ray? A. They offer satisfaction faster. B. They improve music quality. C. They lower one’s dopamine levels. D. They are easier to produce. 2.Why does the author mention Escapism in paragraph 4? A. To praise RAYE’s musical talent. B. To show the difficulty of RAYE’s rise on the charts. C. To introduce a popular song on social media. D. To explain the influence of sped-up music. 3.What major challenge do artists face due to the trend of sped-up versions? A. The inability to climb the singles charts. B. The potential damage to their artistic expression and income. C. The high cost of producing their own sped-up versions. D. The difficulty in telling their own songs from others’. 4.What is Cathy’s attitude toward sped-up music? A. Unclear. B. Indifferent. C. Negative. D. Positive. 【答案】1. A　2. D　3. B　4. D 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇新闻报道，主要讲述了加速歌曲在社交媒体上的流行趋势，分析了其受欢迎的原因、对艺术家的影响以及不同艺术家对此趋势的态度。 (1)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第三段“Short clips provide a quicker line to that dopamine rush social media wants us to feel, so there is an addictive element we’re pushed towards.(短视频片段能更快地让我们感受到社交媒体希望我们感受到的多巴胺激增，所以我们被推向了一种上瘾的元素。)”可知，Mary Beth Ray博士认为加速歌曲之所以流行，是因为它们能更快地提供满足感，让人上瘾。故选A。 (2)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第四段“For example, in November 2022, fan-created sped-up versions of RAYE’s single Escapism made the artist achieve her first-ever No. 1 on the UK Singles Chart nearly three months after its first release.(例如，2022年11月，粉丝制作的RAYE单曲《Escapism》的速度调整版本使这位艺术家在首次发行近三个月后首次登上英国单曲榜榜首。)”可知，作者提到《Escapism》这首歌是为了解释加速音乐对艺术家的影响，即速度调整版本的歌曲可以帮助艺术家在排行榜上取得更好的成绩。故选D。 (3)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第五段“The rise of speed-adjusted versions can make it difficult to tell the original and remixed songs apart, potentially changing the artist’s well-designed tempo, mood and feeling.(速度调整版本的兴起使得很难区分原曲和混音歌曲，这可能会改变艺术家精心设计的节奏、情绪和感觉。)”和“Moreover, if artists don’t release their own sped-up versions, they and producers may face economic losses as more fan-made remixes are uploaded.(此外，如果艺术家不发布自己的速度调整版本，随着更多粉丝制作的混音版本上传，他们和制作人可能会面临经济损失。)”可知，由于速度调整版本的流行，艺术家面临的主要挑战是对他们的艺术表达和收入造成潜在损害。故选B。 (4)题解析： 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Each version gives a totally different feel, each opening the door to new audiences.(每个版本都给人一种完全不同的感觉，每个版本都为新的听众打开了大门。)”可知，Cathy认为加速音乐能带来不同的感觉，吸引新的听众，所以她对加速音乐的态度是积极的。故选D。 Passage 2 （25-26高一上·浙江环大罗山·期中）Recently, I asked my 15-year-old cousin about her ideal job. To my surprise, she gave me an unusual answer, saying that she dreams of becoming an online celebrity (名人), which reminded me of a new girl band called“Sunshine”. These teens have quickly got an ill fame across China because of their “unattractive” and “fat” appearance and bad singing skills. But rather than disappear under the criticism from their 430,000 Weibo followers, they seem to bloom on the feedback. Following the popularity of Sunshine, many new bands featuring (以……为特色) average-looking adolescent girls, such as “Power Girls” and “Love-wings,” began to appear on people’s mobile devices. Lots of ordinary Chinese teens with no skills but big dreams have looked to unexpected role models such as the Sunshine girls as evidence that it takes a little self-confidence to get your name in the headlines. It is surprising to see many young Chinese girls creating spectacles (精彩的表演) online trying to stand out from thousands of potential stars. This way of “promoting themselves” is fantastic for Chinese youth with no opportunities to stand out in China’s highly competitive society. However, for those children with a strong educational background, there is an increasing worry among parents that social networking is distracting their attention away from their studies. Sadly, these so-called stars quickly disappear from people’s attention once a new band pops up. Besides, they are likely to leave behind the online photos or videos of their silly and sometimes shameful behaviour. Their future employers and even potential husbands or wives will eventually see these photos or videos, which could affect their own life. The good news is that, in today’s Internet age, fame and fortune are easily got for kids who aren’t very talented, but the bad news is that these kids become too addicted to social media, which prevents them from learning knowledge and real-life skills, leaving an entire generation of wired youth with no other choices once their online followers forget about them. 1.What does the underlined word “bloom” in Paragraph 1 mean? A. be popular B. be confused C. be discouraged D. be silent 2.Why do the youth create impressive online performances? A. Because they just need self-confidence. B. Because they are skilled at performance. C. Because they don’t concentrate on academics. D. Because it is a possible chance to be outstanding. 3.What may happen to these online stars after they become less popular? A. They all find good jobs. B. Their online records remain. C. They continue their studies. D. They become role models. 4.What is the author’s attitude towards this phenomenon of teens seeking online fame? A. Supportive. B. Doubtful. C. Objective. D. Unconcerned. 【答案】1. A　2. D　3. B　4. C 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇议论文，作者通过“Sunshine”等普通女孩组合迅速走红的案例，剖析中国青少年“零才艺”也可借网络成名的现象。 (1)题解析： 词句猜测题。根据第一段“But rather than disappear under the criticism from their 430,000 Weibo followers (但她们并没有在来自43万微博粉丝的批评声中销声匿迹)”可知，他们不但没有消失，反而流行起来了，bloom这里指越骂越红，即“人气飙升”，与A选项“流行，受欢迎”相同。故选A项。 (2)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第二段“Lots of ordinary Chinese teens with no skills but big dreams have looked to unexpected role models such as the Sunshine girls as evidence that it takes a little self-confidence to get your name in the headlines. (许多毫无技能却怀抱巨大梦想的普通中国青少年，把“Sunshine”女孩这类出人意料的榜样视作证明：只需一点点自信，就能让你的名字登上头条)”可知，孩子们拼命做出“精彩表演”是因为把它视为“出人头地的机会”。故选D项。 (3)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第四段“Besides, they are likely to leave behind the online photos or videos of their silly and sometimes shameful behaviour. Their future employers and even potential husbands or wives will eventually see these photos or videos, which could affect their own life. (此外，他们那些愚蠢且有时令人羞愧的线上照片或视频很可能会被留下。他们未来的雇主，甚至潜在的丈夫或妻子，终将看到这些照片或视频，这可能影响他们的人生)”可知，当这些网红过气后，他们的记录依然存在。故选B项。 (4)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第三段“This way of “promoting themselves” is fantastic for Chinese youth with no opportunities to stand out in China’s highly competitive society. (这种“自我推销”的方式对于那些在中国高度竞争的社会中没有机会脱颖而出的青年来说，是极好的)”和第五段“but the bad news is that these kids become too addicted to social media, which prevents them from learning knowledge and real-life skills, leaving an entire generation of wired youth with no other choices once their online followers forget about them. (但坏消息是，这些孩子变得对社交媒体过于上瘾，这阻碍了他们学习知识和现实生活技能，一旦他们的在线粉丝忘记他们，就会使整整一代沉迷网络的青年别无选择)”可知，作者既肯定这种现象的积极作用，又指出其潜在危害，呈现利弊并存、不偏不倚的客观分析。故选C项。 主题语境02 人与社会-社会服务与人际沟通 （25-26高一上·浙江9+1联盟-11月·期中）The Eaton Fire was one of the wildfires causing destruction in Los Angeles County, in California. Avery Colvert, 14, created Altadena Girls, a recovery fund for teens affected by the fire. Avery never thought the fund would spread rapidly online. But less than 24 hours after its creation, it did just that. Celebrities (名人) started posting about Altadena Girls on social media. The donations started coming in by the truckload. “Oh, my God.” Avery told TIME in an email on January 11. “It’s crazy here.” Avery’s family home survived the Eaton Fire, but most of her friends lost everything. “There’s maybe a small handful of people I know whose houses are spared,” she said, during a FaceTime call. Many of Avery’s friends had to evacuate (撤离) in the middle of the night with only the clothes on their backs: pajamas. “I imagine my own bedroom, and I am thinking about how my clothes, makeup, and shoe — everything is my identity and it’s my sense of self,” she said. “It’s the same thing for all of my friends.” Avery knew her friends would be given necessities, such as food and water. She decided to collect and hand out items that would help girls “get their confidence back.” On January 10, Avery and her stepdad designed a logo and started an Instagram account. The next day, Avery posted about the project. The page took off. Trucks loaded with donations arrived at the place where Avery and her family were staying until air quality improved. Volunteers showed up, ready to work. By the end of the day, several clothing brands had reached out to help. “When I had this idea, I couldn’t even think about how big this would be,” Avery said. “While I’m taking donations, organizing items, my phone is just completely blowing up.” Truly, this young person’s kind heart sparked a powerful wave of help for those in need. 1.What happened within 24 hours of Altadena Girls’ creation? A. The fund gained quick attention. B. Avery’s house was quickly explored. C. Media rushed to interview Avery. D. Celebrities donated on social media. 2.Why did Avery start the project? A. Her stepfather encouraged her to do so. B. Social media pushed her to do recovery work. C. She wanted to help rebuild friends’ sense of self. D. She wanted to provide necessities for her friends. 3.Which of the following can best describe Avery? A. Caring and thoughtful. B. Honest and responsible. C. Curious and cautious. D.

But less than 24 hours after its creation, it did just that. Celebrities started posting about Altadena Girls on social media. The donations started coming in by the truckload.(埃弗里从未想过该基金会在网上迅速传播。但在创建后不到24小时，它就做到了。名人开始在社交媒体上发布关于‘阿尔塔迪纳女孩’的帖子。捐款也源源不断地涌来。)”可知，“阿尔塔迪纳女孩”基金会创建后不到24小时就迅速受到关注。故选A。 (2)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第三段中“‘I imagine my own bedroom, and I am thinking about how my clothes, makeup, and shoe — everything is my identity and it’s my sense of self,’ she said. ‘It’s the same thing for all of my friends.’(她说：‘我想象自己的卧室，我在想我的衣服、化妆品和鞋子——一切都是我的身份，是我的自我认同感。’她说道，‘对我所有的朋友来说都是一样的。’)”及第四段中“Avery knew her friends would be given necessities, such as food and water. She decided to collect and hand out items that would help girls ‘get their confidence back.’(埃弗里知道她的朋友们会得到必需品，比如食物和水。她决定收集并分发一些物品，帮助女孩们‘重拾信心’。)”可知，埃弗里开始这个活动的原因是想要帮助朋友重建自我认同感。故选C。 (3)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第四段中“Avery knew her friends would be given necessities, such as food and water. She decided to collect and hand out items that would help girls ‘get their confidence back.’(埃弗里知道她的朋友们会得到必需品，比如食物和水。她决定收集并分发一些物品，帮助女孩们‘重拾信心’。)”并结合全文可知，埃弗里看到朋友因火灾失去所有、失去自我认同，主动发起基金帮她们重建信心，不仅满足基本生存需求，更关注朋友的精神重建，体现出其关爱的、考虑周到的品质。故选A。 (4)题解析： 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Truly, this young person’s kind heart sparked a powerful wave of help for those in need.(真的，这位年轻人善良的心激发了对有需要的人的强大帮助。)”结合全文可知，埃弗里最初只是想帮身边朋友，一个小小的善举却通过网络迅速传播，引发名人关注、大量捐款和志愿者参与，帮助了更多有需要的人。由此可推知，埃弗里的故事告诉我们“微小的善意可能产生深远影响。”故选B。 主题语境03 人与自我-生活与学习 （25-26高一上·浙江浙东北ZDB联盟·期中）Under the bright sun, 19-year-old Wu Yuqing dragged her suitcase across the campus of King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals in Saudi Arabia — her new home for the next four years. Just a day earlier, she had been in her hometown in Shanxi province. Nearly 24 hours later, after taking a train to Beijing and a plane to Dammam in eastern Saudi Arabia, she started her overseas study experience at the university. Wu is among a small but growing group of Chinese students now heading toward the Middle East, an area once seen as distant, but now increasingly tied to China through trade, education, etc. When she stepped off the plane in mid-August, the heavy, wet air from the nearby coast surrounded her. Adapting to the heat would be the first challenge. Over time, she managed to adapt to living conditions and the study. “At first, it was hard to manage everything by myself — paying fees, registering for courses and getting an ID and a SIM card,” she recalled. “The courses are all in English, so it was challenging, but I adapted.” Wu praised the university’s teaching style. “Courses encourage participation and expressing comments, not just grades. Teachers come from all over the world and often share their experiences,” she said. Campus life is vibrant, with Chinese students sharing their culture through clubs and activities like calligraphy and riddle games. “I had never thought about studying overseas for my undergraduate degree,” Wu said. “I knew very little about it.” She previously attended Shuocheng High School in Shanxi. “When I learned about studying in the Middle East, it felt like a fresh start. Going abroad lets you truly experience the world,” she recalled. Generous scholarships, promising job possibilities in energy and technology, and a growth in economic links have made universities in the Middle East attractive for ambitious young Chinese like her. 1.What can be learned about Wu Yuqing from paragraph 1? A. She found it hard to carry her heavy suitcase. B. She was the freshman of a university. C. She was tired of the long trip. D. She went to Saudi Arabia for travelling. 2.What was one of the challenges Wu faced when studying abroad? A. The hot and dry local climate. B. Difficulty in managing daily affairs alone. C. Courses taught in her native language. D. Teachers from other countries. 3.What does the underlined word “vibrant” in paragraph 5 probably mean? A. Challenging. B. Traditional. C. Boring. D. Lively. 4.What is the main purpose of the text? A. To list reasons why lots of Chinese students are attracted to Saudi universities. B. To share Wu Yuqing’s personal experience of college study in Saudi Arabia. C. To introduce the growing trend of Chinese students studying in the Middle East. D. To explain how Chinese students adapt to life in universities of the Middle East. 【答案】1. B　2. B　3. D　4.

Are you able to manage your money well? Can you sew a button onto clothes? Not many of us can confidently nod our heads to these questions. Nowadays, schools focus a lot on tough tests and making academic (学业的) requirements higher. Because of this, classes on practical skills are sometimes left out of our busy school schedule. Even when schools do teach these skills, they’re often ignored or not seen as important. I believe, however, that schools should teach practical skills as part of a well-rounded education to help us survive in the real world after we graduate. Schools have done well in preparing us to be successful students in our studies, but may not have prepared us well enough in developing life skills. Yet practical skills such as cooking, housekeeping and first-aid are important for us to manage in the real world. For example, to those who did not have such basic skills, the Covid-19 lockdown was a big shock, as they suddenly found themselves in a difficult situation where restaurants had to close and other important home services also stopped working. For those who experienced lockdowns, being able to cook meals or fix a light bulb themselves would have been satisfying. Yet, it’s a pity that schools continue to produce more scholarly individuals who are unfortunately unable to perform simple home-based tasks. When schools teach practical skills, they are sending an important signal that academic performance alone does not lead to successful growth. Skills such as financial (财政的) management help us become more responsible individuals. Equipped with the financial knowledge that experts provide in schools, we can better discuss our financial and budgeting goals with our parents. Furthermore, enough knowledge on budgeting and saving can keep us away from overspending and help us navigate the world of money more cautiously. The world we live in today is far more complex and schools need to teach beyond academic subjects. Sandra Carey, a writer, puts it: “Never mistake knowledge for wisdom. One helps you make a living; the other helps you make a life.” School is not simply a place to pass on knowledge and prepare us for a career. By offering us practical skills, it also passes on wisdom that can help us build happy, healthy and fulfilled lives. 1.Why does the author mention the three questions in the first paragraph? A. To make the article funny and attractive. B. To show the difficulty in learning these skills. C. To show these practical skills are in great need. D. To prove academic knowledge is more important. 2.How does the writer develop the second paragraph? A. By using quotes. B. By giving examples. C. By explaining reasons. D. By making comparisons. 3.What is the benefit of school’s teaching financial management skills? A. It gives students an advantage in the job market. B. It causes students to be more likely to overspend. C. It makes students better talk about financial plans. D. It helps students become more financially independent. 4.Which of the following would Sandra Carey most likely agree with? A. Knowledge is power. B. All that glitters is not gold. C. A little learning is a dangerous thing. D. Knowledge for life, wisdom for soul. 【答案】1. C　2. B　3. C　4.

Are you able to manage your money well? Can you sew a button onto clothes? Not many of us can confidently nod our heads to these questions. Nowadays, schools focus a lot on tough tests and making academic (学业的) requirements higher. Because of this, classes on practical skills are sometimes left out of our busy school schedule.(你会烹饪营养均衡的餐食吗？能妥善管理个人财务吗？会给衣服缝纽扣吗？面对这些问题，能坦然点头的人恐怕不多。当下学校教育往往侧重于严苛考试与学业要求，实用技能课程因而在紧凑的课表中时常缺席)”可知，作者通过提出这三个问题，指出很多人可能并不具备这些基本的实用技能，从而表明这些实用技能是急需的，进而引出相关教育话题。故选C项。 (2)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第二段中“For example, to those who did not have such basic skills, the Covid-19 lockdown was a big shock, as they suddenly found themselves in a difficult situation where restaurants had to close and other important home services also stopped working.(例如，对于那些没有这些基本技能的人来说，新冠疫情封锁是一个巨大的冲击，因为他们突然发现自己处于一个困难的境地，餐馆不得不关闭，其他重要的家庭服务也停止了工作)”可知，作者通过举例那些没有基本生活技能的人在新冠疫情封锁期间遇到的困难，来强调实用技能的重要性，从而展开第二段的论述。故选B项。 (3)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Equipped with the financial knowledge that experts provide in schools, we can better discuss our financial and budgeting goals with our parents.(有了学校专业人员提供的金融知识，我们可以更好地与父母讨论我们的财务和预算目标)”可知，学校教授财务管理技能的好处是让学生能够更好地讨论财务计划。故选C项。 (4)题解析： 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Sandra Carey, a writer, puts it: “Never mistake knowledge for wisdom. One helps you make a living; the other helps you make a life.”(作家桑德拉·凯里说：“永远不要把知识和智慧混为一谈。一个帮助你谋生；另一个帮助你创造生活。”)”可知，桑德拉·凯里认为知识和智慧是不同的，知识帮助谋生，智慧帮助创造生活，由此推知，她最可能同意的是“知识为生活，智慧为灵魂”。故选D项。 主题语境02 人与自我-做人与做事 （25-26高一上·浙江衢州五校·期中）Have you ever wished you could turn back time and do something differently? Maybe you’ve said something hurtful or failed a test. Everyone makes mistakes; the important thing is not to panic. Remember that messing up from time to time is part of being human. When you mess something up, it’s easy to feel annoyed and frustrated with yourself. However, mistakes give your brain a chance to adjust what it’s doing and learn, so you get things right in future. In fact, they are such an important part of being human that your body often knows that you have made them before you do. Scientists say when you make a mistake, like falling off a bike, your brain creates electrical activity. This sends a signal (信号) to the rest of your brain before you even hit the ground. Studies show these signals teach you to be more careful next time. Making mistakes teaches you resilience, which means being able to bounce (弹回) back from disappointments or challenges. England footballer Lauren Hemp, who won the women’s Euros with the Lionesses this summer, says sometimes the team makes “mistake after mistake” in matches, but this just makes them more determined to play better. “Even when things aren’t going our way, we can still try to turn it around,” she says. What seems like a disaster (灾难) at the time can sometimes be funny afterwards. So if you cringe about saying the wrong thing in class, you could be sharing a joke about it soon. “Trying to feel comfortable when things go wrong may seem strange but is a more positive way forward. So the best way to learn from your mistakes is to deal with them in a direct manner”, says Professor Pragya. This is because you often feel embarrassed by your mistakes, so you try to hide them from others, which makes you more likely to repeat them. When you’re not being hard on yourself, it’s easier to learn and this helps you do things differently next time, she explains. 1.Why does the author mention “falling off a bike” in Paragraph 2? A. To prove that everyone makes silly mistakes. B. To argue that making mistakes is dangerous. C. To show how the brain responds to mistakes. D. To illustrate how mistakes can cause physical harm. 2.What does the underlined word “cringe” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Feel proud. B. Feel awkward. C. Get excited. D. Get curious. 3.According to Professor Pragya, what is the best way to learn from mistakes? A. To hide mistakes from others. B. To keep repeating mistakes. C. To face up to mistakes directly. D. To ignore mistakes and move on. 4.Which proverb best matches the message conveyed in the passage? A. Better safe than sorry. B. Practice makes perfect. C. Failure is the mother of success. D.

This sends a signal to the rest of your brain before you even hit the ground. Studies show these signals teach you to be more careful next time.(科学家表示，当你犯错时，比如从自行车上摔下来，你的大脑会产生电活动。甚至在你落地之前，它就会向大脑的其他部分发送信号。研究表明，这些信号会让你下次更加小心。)”可知，作者以“从自行车上摔下来”为例，是为了具体说明大脑在犯错时会产生电信号、发送预警并帮助人们吸取教训，即展示大脑对错误的反应机制。故选C项。 (2)题解析： 词句猜测题。根据第三段中的“What seems like a disaster (灾难) at the time can sometimes be funny afterwards. So if you cringe about saying the wrong thing in class, you could be sharing a joke about it soon.(当时看似灾难的事情，事后有时可能会很有趣。所以如果你因为在课堂上说错话而感到cringe，你很快就可能会拿这件事开玩笑。)”可知，“cringe”应是与“事后觉得有趣”形成对比的即时感受，结合“说错话”的场景，可推测其意为“尴尬的、难为情的”。故选B项。 (3)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第四段中的““Trying to feel comfortable when things go wrong may seem strange but is a more positive way forward. So the best way to learn from your mistakes is to deal with them in a direct manner”, says Professor Pragya.(普拉贾教授说：“当事情出错时，试着让自己感到自在可能看起来很奇怪，但这是一种更积极的前进方式。因此，从错误中学习的最佳方式是直接面对它们。”)”可知，普拉贾教授认为从错误中学习的最佳方式是直接处理错误，即直面错误。故选C项。 (4)题解析： 推理判断题。通读全文，根据第一段“Have you ever wished you could turn back time and do something differently?

Child care refers to care provided while parents are working, before children are old enough to attend school. Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham, a Democrat, announced that all families in New Mexico will be qualified for free child care starting on November 1. The announcement fulfills a promise made by the governor and the state legislature in 2019. Low-income families have already had access to free child care, and now the program will expand (扩大) to cover families of all income levels. To meet the increased need, the state said it plans to set up more than 50 new child care centers and about 1,000 homes to serve as smaller child care operations. The program will be paid for in part through taxes collected from oil and gas industries. In surveys, most Americans see finding affordable and quality child care as a major concern. Child care costs the average US family about $13,000 per child per year. Politicians have debated the idea of universal child care for many years, and New Mexico is the first state to carry it out. Officials said that about 12,000 more children could be qualified for the program. “Child care is important to family stability, workforce participation, and New Mexico’s future prosperity,” Lujan Grisham said, adding that free care is life-changing because the money saved on child care can go toward other major expenses, like groceries. Other elected officials, including Rebecca Dow, a Republican state lawmaker, argued that not considering the income requirement is a mistake and will help upper-income families who don’t need it. Lujan Grisham has asked the state to provide $120 million in annual funding to cover the costs of the program. The state plans to launch a campaign to hire more child care providers, and loans will be made available to encourage the opening of new child care centers. Other states and cities could also follow suit. 1.What does New Mexico plan to do to meet more child care need? A. Build new child care centers and homes. B. Raise taxes to open more child care centers. C. Let teachers help with child care after school. D. Close old child care centers and rebuild them. 2.What can we know about child care in the US in Paragraph 3? A. All families can afford it easily. B. The government pays for the costs. C. The costs are very low for most families. D. Average families spend a lot on it yearly. 3.What is Rebecca Dow’s attitude toward the new program? A. Supportive. B. Doubtful. C. Objective. D. Uninterested. 4.What would be the best title for the text? A. New Mexico Offers Free Child Care for All. B. Free Child Care Plan Starts National Debates. C. Governor Promises Free Child Care for All Families. D. The First State Spends $120 Million on Child Education. Passage 2 （25-26高一上·浙江山海协作体-11月·期中）The head of Ofsted said that if he should return to school leadership, one of his first decisions would be to impose (颁布) a ban (禁令) on smartphones. Sir Martyn Oliver reflected on his experience as a head teacher in 2009, when a simple order to “put your phone away” worked really well. “But after the Covid lockdown, that suddenly wasn’t enough,” he said. “When you said, ‘Put your phone away,’ I saw children still taking it out. Something fundamentally changed.” Speaking at an event on Tuesday evening hosted by The Times and Parentkind, Oliver said “phones became better and smarter. Social media became very important in children’s lives just as we set them off to school. The best schools have great relationships with their parents and great relationships with their children. If I go back to being a head teacher, I wouldn’t just say “put your phone away”, I would ban them. Ban, ban, ban them ... I mean not to have them at the start of the day and not getting them back until the end of the day. Head teachers can make that decision.” Almost all schools in England have implemented (实施) some form of phone ban and the discussion of smartphone use in schools also drew strong views from experts who urged (催促) the government to take a view of the problem beyond the classroom. Dame Rachel, the Children’s Commissioner (儿童事务专员) for England, said she did not believe ministers “talk enough about family or supporting family”. She added: “It’s easy for them to talk about banning phones in schools. What I think they need to be doing is thinking outside of the school day. How do we help parents? How do we give them advice and guidance?” Justine Roberts, chief executive of Mumsnet, described smartphones as “dangerous and addictive by design”, while Jason Elsom, chief executive of Parentkind, likened them to drugs: “But it’s digital drugs. You’re constantly thinking about it because that’s what smartphones do to you — constant dopamine (多巴胺) hits.” Research by ParentKind found that a third of parents admitted to setting a bad example to their children and ignoring their children sometimes when looking at their phones. 1.What made Sir Martyn Oliver change his attitude towards students’ smartphone use at school? A. The poor effect of the order “put your phone away” after Covid lockdown. B. The importance of social media in children’s lives. C. The advice from other school leaders and experts. D. The smartphones’ becoming better. 2.According to Sir Martyn Oliver, what should schools do regarding smartphones? A. Allow limited use of smartphones during breaks. B. Teach students how to use smartphones responsibly. C. Let teachers decide when students can use phones. D. Completely ban students from bringing phones to school all day. 3.What is Dame Rachel’s attitude to the government’s approach to the smartphone issue? A. She thought highly of it. B. She didn’t care about it. C. She wasn’t satisfied with it. D. She didn’t approve of it. 4.What is this passage mainly about? A. Negative effect of smart phones. B. Government’s guidance on phone use. C. Parents’ influence on children’s phone use. D. Ways to deal with smart phones in school and at home. 主题语境02 人与自我-生活与学习 （25-26高一上·浙江强基联盟-11月·期中）One quiet afternoon in France in her working place, wood crafting (木制工艺) artist Hua Yong found herself watching water boil. Without thinking, she reached for her phone and looked at the screen again. At that very moment, she realized how much modern life is controlled by speed. “We are completely caught up by the quick speed of life,” she said. “It’s becoming harder to find time to relax among our daily mess of life.” Hua Yong, the 2024 receiver of the Hand of Wisdom prize, a China-France crafts exchange program, spent two months in Paris last year, which allowed her to think deeply about the act of creation. She started trying simple shapes with straight lines and angles, doing them many times to make visual (视觉的) effects that seemed to go past time and space. “I thought about how to make something new from nothing, and used the highest standards of traditional Chinese skills to bring these ideas to life,” she said. “Wood crafting requires a lot of time,” she said. Her show Changing the World in Silence at Yishu8, a place for art in Beijing, was the most meaningful part of a year’s deep thought. Running until mid-June, the show has 25 pieces of artwork, 11 of which were made after her stay in Paris. Among the works was a vortex-shaped (旋涡状的) table, which drew the viewer’s mind into another world. “We hope all the artworks here quietly stay with the viewers, giving their minds a short break and a moment of relaxation,” described Hua. “She has long worked with traditional Chinese materials and kept thinking,” said Su Dan, the art leader of Hand of Wisdom, watching Hua’s change since her return. “Works made in such deep thought become perfect models of designing ideas: They may last only for a short time in our daily life, but remain forever in our mind.” 1.What is the purpose of the first paragraph? A. To show the artist’s skill in wood crafting. B. To explain the artist’s mess of life in detail. C. To describe the artist’s working environment. D. To introduce the artist’s idea about modern life. 2.How did Hua Yong’s experience in Paris influence her creation? A. It won her the Hand of Wisdom prize. B. It offered her thoughts on Chinese skills. C. It changed her understanding of creation. D. It gave her some simple shapes to work with. 3.Why was “a vortex- shaped table” included in her show at Yishu 8? A. To test viewers’ interest in wooden art. B. To show the highest standards of skills. C. To make it remain forever in viewers’ mind. D. To give viewers’ minds a getaway from daily life. 4.What can we learn from Su Dan’s words about Hua Yong’s artworks? A. They do not last for a long time. B. They require too much time to make. C. They provide perfect models for viewers. D. They leave a lasting impression on viewers. 主题语境01 人与社会-历史、社会与文化 Passage 1 （25-26高一上·浙江G5联盟-11月·期中）Are you a short video app user? If so, you’re likely more familiar with 15-second sped-up pieces of songs than with the original ones. This trend has emerged on social media platforms, particularly TikTok, where creators change the tempo (节奏) of popular songs by 25-30 percent to match short popular videos featuring dances or other themes. This practice has become widespread on social media where podcasts, voice notes, movies and other content can be made faster and thus enjoyed more quickly. Mary Beth Ray, an author focused on digital music culture, told the BBC, “Short clips provide a quicker line to that dopamine (多巴胺) rush social media wants us to feel, so there is an addictive element we’re pushed towards.” That’s why these adapted versions (版本) have helped some musicians climb the singles charts. For example, in November 2022, fan-created sped-up versions of RAYE’s single Escapism made the artist achieve her first-ever No. 1 on the UK Singles Chart nearly three months after its first release. However, not everyone is happy with this trend. The rise of speed-adjusted versions can make it difficult to tell the original and remixed songs apart, potentially changing the artist’s well-designed tempo, mood and feeling. This presents a modern challenge — how can artists create the next hit song when the version people actually listen to may sound completely different? Moreover, if artists don’t release their own sped-up versions, they and producers may face economic losses as more fan-made remixes are uploaded. According to Forbes, in November 2023, at least 1 million songs on streaming platforms were sped up and published without the artist’s permission. Experts noted that these songs brought in millions in total earnings for the uploaders instead of the rightful copyright (版权) holders”. While some artists accept this trend and others less so, it appears here to stay. For 23-year-old UK producer Cathy, changing speed and tempo is a key part of her creative process. “I like listening to my song three times over — sped-up, slowed, and at normal speed,” she told the BBC. “Each version gives a totally different feel, each opening the door to new audiences.” 1.Why are sped-up songs popular, according to Dr Mary Beth Ray? A. They offer satisfaction faster. B. They improve music quality. C. They lower one’s dopamine levels. D. They are easier to produce. 2.Why does the author mention Escapism in paragraph 4? A. To praise RAYE’s musical talent. B. To show the difficulty of RAYE’s rise on the charts. C. To introduce a popular song on social media. D. To explain the influence of sped-up music. 3.What major challenge do artists face due to the trend of sped-up versions? A. The inability to climb the singles charts. B. The potential damage to their artistic expression and income. C. The high cost of producing their own sped-up versions. D. The difficulty in telling their own songs from others’. 4.What is Cathy’s attitude toward sped-up music? A. Unclear. B. Indifferent. C. Negative. D. Positive. Passage 2 （25-26高一上·浙江环大罗山·期中）Recently, I asked my 15-year-old cousin about her ideal job. To my surprise, she gave me an unusual answer, saying that she dreams of becoming an online celebrity (名人), which reminded me of a new girl band called“Sunshine”. These teens have quickly got an ill fame across China because of their “unattractive” and “fat” appearance and bad singing skills. But rather than disappear under the criticism from their 430,000 Weibo followers, they seem to bloom on the feedback. Following the popularity of Sunshine, many new bands featuring (以……为特色) average-looking adolescent girls, such as “Power Girls” and “Love-wings,” began to appear on people’s mobile devices. Lots of ordinary Chinese teens with no skills but big dreams have looked to unexpected role models such as the Sunshine girls as evidence that it takes a little self-confidence to get your name in the headlines. It is surprising to see many young Chinese girls creating spectacles (精彩的表演) online trying to stand out from thousands of potential stars. This way of “promoting themselves” is fantastic for Chinese youth with no opportunities to stand out in China’s highly competitive society. However, for those children with a strong educational background, there is an increasing worry among parents that social networking is distracting their attention away from their studies. Sadly, these so-called stars quickly disappear from people’s attention once a new band pops up. Besides, they are likely to leave behind the online photos or videos of their silly and sometimes shameful behaviour. Their future employers and even potential husbands or wives will eventually see these photos or videos, which could affect their own life. The good news is that, in today’s Internet age, fame and fortune are easily got for kids who aren’t very talented, but the bad news is that these kids become too addicted to social media, which prevents them from learning knowledge and real-life skills, leaving an entire generation of wired youth with no other choices once their online followers forget about them. 1.What does the underlined word “bloom” in Paragraph 1 mean? A. be popular B. be confused C. be discouraged D. be silent 2.Why do the youth create impressive online performances? A. Because they just need self-confidence. B. Because they are skilled at performance. C. Because they don’t concentrate on academics. D. Because it is a possible chance to be outstanding. 3.What may happen to these online stars after they become less popular? A. They all find good jobs. B. Their online records remain. C. They continue their studies. D. They become role models. 4.What is the author’s attitude towards this phenomenon of teens seeking online fame? A. Supportive. B. Doubtful. C. Objective. D. Unconcerned. 主题语境02 人与社会-社会服务与人际沟通 （25-26高一上·浙江9+1联盟-11月·期中）The Eaton Fire was one of the wildfires causing destruction in Los Angeles County, in California. Avery Colvert, 14, created Altadena Girls, a recovery fund for teens affected by the fire. Avery never thought the fund would spread rapidly online. But less than 24 hours after its creation, it did just that. Celebrities (名人) started posting about Altadena Girls on social media. The donations started coming in by the truckload. “Oh, my God.” Avery told TIME in an email on January 11. “It’s crazy here.” Avery’s family home survived the Eaton Fire, but most of her friends lost everything. “There’s maybe a small handful of people I know whose houses are spared,” she said, during a FaceTime call. Many of Avery’s friends had to evacuate (撤离) in the middle of the night with only the clothes on their backs: pajamas. “I imagine my own bedroom, and I am thinking about how my clothes, makeup, and shoe — everything is my identity and it’s my sense of self,” she said. “It’s the same thing for all of my friends.” Avery knew her friends would be given necessities, such as food and water. She decided to collect and hand out items that would help girls “get their confidence back.” On January 10, Avery and her stepdad designed a logo and started an Instagram account. The next day, Avery posted about the project. The page took off. Trucks loaded with donations arrived at the place where Avery and her family were staying until air quality improved. Volunteers showed up, ready to work. By the end of the day, several clothing brands had reached out to help. “When I had this idea, I couldn’t even think about how big this would be,” Avery said. “While I’m taking donations, organizing items, my phone is just completely blowing up.” Truly, this young person’s kind heart sparked a powerful wave of help for those in need. 1.What happened within 24 hours of Altadena Girls’ creation?

Just a day earlier, she had been in her hometown in Shanxi province. Nearly 24 hours later, after taking a train to Beijing and a plane to Dammam in eastern Saudi Arabia, she started her overseas study experience at the university. Wu is among a small but growing group of Chinese students now heading toward the Middle East, an area once seen as distant, but now increasingly tied to China through trade, education, etc. When she stepped off the plane in mid-August, the heavy, wet air from the nearby coast surrounded her. Adapting to the heat would be the first challenge. Over time, she managed to adapt to living conditions and the study. “At first, it was hard to manage everything by myself — paying fees, registering for courses and getting an ID and a SIM card,” she recalled. “The courses are all in English, so it was challenging, but I adapted.” Wu praised the university’s teaching style. “Courses encourage participation and expressing comments, not just grades. Teachers come from all over the world and often share their experiences,” she said. Campus life is vibrant, with Chinese students sharing their culture through clubs and activities like calligraphy and riddle games. “I had never thought about studying overseas for my undergraduate degree,” Wu said. “I knew very little about it.” She previously attended Shuocheng High School in Shanxi. “When I learned about studying in the Middle East, it felt like a fresh start. Going abroad lets you truly experience the world,” she recalled. Generous scholarships, promising job possibilities in energy and technology, and a growth in economic links have made universities in the Middle East attractive for ambitious young Chinese like her. 1.What can be learned about Wu Yuqing from paragraph 1? A. She found it hard to carry her heavy suitcase. B. She was the freshman of a university. C. She was tired of the long trip. D. She went to Saudi Arabia for travelling. 2.What was one of the challenges Wu faced when studying abroad? A. The hot and dry local climate. B. Difficulty in managing daily affairs alone. C. Courses taught in her native language. D. Teachers from other countries. 3.What does the underlined word “vibrant” in paragraph 5 probably mean? A. Challenging. B. Traditional. C. Boring. D. Lively. 4.What is the main purpose of the text? A. To list reasons why lots of Chinese students are attracted to Saudi universities. B. To share Wu Yuqing’s personal experience of college study in Saudi Arabia. C. To introduce the growing trend of Chinese students studying in the Middle East. D. To explain how Chinese students adapt to life in universities of the Middle East. 主题语境01 人与社会-历史、社会与文化 （25-26高一上·浙江A9联盟·期中）Are you able to cook a healthy meal? Are you able to manage your money well? Can you sew a button onto clothes? Not many of us can confidently nod our heads to these questions. Nowadays, schools focus a lot on tough tests and making academic (学业的) requirements higher. Because of this, classes on practical skills are sometimes left out of our busy school schedule. Even when schools do teach these skills, they’re often ignored or not seen as important. I believe, however, that schools should teach practical skills as part of a well-rounded education to help us survive in the real world after we graduate. Schools have done well in preparing us to be successful students in our studies, but may not have prepared us well enough in developing life skills. Yet practical skills such as cooking, housekeeping and first-aid are important for us to manage in the real world. For example, to those who did not have such basic skills, the Covid-19 lockdown was a big shock, as they suddenly found themselves in a difficult situation where restaurants had to close and other important home services also stopped working. For those who experienced lockdowns, being able to cook meals or fix a light bulb themselves would have been satisfying. Yet, it’s a pity that schools continue to produce more scholarly individuals who are unfortunately unable to perform simple home-based tasks. When schools teach practical skills, they are sending an important signal that academic performance alone does not lead to successful growth. Skills such as financial (财政的) management help us become more responsible individuals. Equipped with the financial knowledge that experts provide in schools, we can better discuss our financial and budgeting goals with our parents. Furthermore, enough knowledge on budgeting and saving can keep us away from overspending and help us navigate the world of money more cautiously. The world we live in today is far more complex and schools need to teach beyond academic subjects. Sandra Carey, a writer, puts it: “Never mistake knowledge for wisdom. One helps you make a living; the other helps you make a life.” School is not simply a place to pass on knowledge and prepare us for a career. By offering us practical skills, it also passes on wisdom that can help us build happy, healthy and fulfilled lives. 1.Why does the author mention the three questions in the first paragraph? A. To make the article funny and attractive. B. To show the difficulty in learning these skills. C. To show these practical skills are in great need. D. To prove academic knowledge is more important. 2.How does the writer develop the second paragraph? A. By using quotes. B. By giving examples. C. By explaining reasons. D. By making comparisons. 3.What is the benefit of school’s teaching financial management skills? A. It gives students an advantage in the job market. B. It causes students to be more likely to overspend. C. It makes students better talk about financial plans. D. It helps students become more financially independent. 4.Which of the following would Sandra Carey most likely agree with? A. Knowledge is power. B. All that glitters is not gold. C. A little learning is a dangerous thing. D. Knowledge for life, wisdom for soul. 主题语境02 人与自我-做人与做事 （25-26高一上·浙江衢州五校·期中）Have you ever wished you could turn back time and do something differently? Maybe you’ve said something hurtful or failed a test. Everyone makes mistakes; the important thing is not to panic. Remember that messing up from time to time is part of being human. When you mess something up, it’s easy to feel annoyed and frustrated with yourself. However, mistakes give your brain a chance to adjust what it’s doing and learn, so you get things right in future. In fact, they are such an important part of being human that your body often knows that you have made them before you do. Scientists say when you make a mistake, like falling off a bike, your brain creates electrical activity. This sends a signal (信号) to the rest of your brain before you even hit the ground. Studies show these signals teach you to be more careful next time. Making mistakes teaches you resilience, which means being able to bounce (弹回) back from disappointments or challenges. England footballer Lauren Hemp, who won the women’s Euros with the Lionesses this summer, says sometimes the team makes “mistake after mistake” in matches, but this just makes them more determined to play better. “Even when things aren’t going our way, we can still try to turn it around,” she says. What seems like a disaster (灾难) at the time can sometimes be funny afterwards. So if you cringe about saying the wrong thing in class, you could be sharing a joke about it soon. “Trying to feel comfortable when things go wrong may seem strange but is a more positive way forward. So the best way to learn from your mistakes is to deal with them in a direct manner”, says Professor Pragya. This is because you often feel embarrassed by your mistakes, so you try to hide them from others, which makes you more likely to repeat them. When you’re not being hard on yourself, it’s easier to learn and this helps you do things differently next time, she explains. 1.Why does the author mention “falling off a bike” in Paragraph 2? A. To prove that everyone makes silly mistakes. B. To argue that making mistakes is dangerous. C. To show how the brain responds to mistakes. D. To illustrate how mistakes can cause physical harm. 2.What does the underlined word “cringe” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Feel proud. B. Feel awkward. C. Get excited. D. Get curious. 3.According to Professor Pragya, what is the best way to learn from mistakes? A. To hide mistakes from others. B. To keep repeating mistakes. C. To face up to mistakes directly. D. To ignore mistakes and move on. 4.Which proverb best matches the message conveyed in the passage? A. Better safe than sorry. B. Practice makes perfect. C. Failure is the mother of success. D. Where there’s a will, there’s a way. / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
