But beyond the victories and defeats, there is something more to admire: the positive and energetic manner of China’s young athletes, coupled with their amazing record-breaking achievements. On Aug 4, 21-year-old Zheng Qinwen made history for Chinese tennis by winning the first gold medal in women’s singles for both China and Asia. Just the following day, the young Chinese swimming team ended the US’s decadeslong unbeaten history in the men’s relay. Equally inspiring is the positive mindset exhibited by these young athletes. They are confident and inclusive (包容的), both in competition and cross-cultural interactions, trying hard to achieve excellence and breakthrough performances. Moreover, they have moved away from the “gold medal only” mindset, embracing (拥抱) a calmer and more sensible approach to sports, which reflects a significant change in their view. There are countless examples. From 18-year-old BMX freestyle cyclist Deng Yawen to 26-year-old swimmer Zhang Yufei, many young athletes have captivated global audiences and held the world’s attention with their self-assured approach to competition. They enjoy competing from the bottom of their heart. When Zhang, China’s “butterfly queen”, missed out on a gold medal, she said, “I hope this time I can have a relaxed attitude and really enjoy the Olympics.” This change in mindset and manner has moved the public focus away from just winning gold medals to appreciating the respect and honor that athletes and the Olympics truly deserve. On the Olympic stage, these young people uphold the proud traditions of Chinese sports while showing a new image of a confident and open China. But what exactly is the Olympic spirit? It’s not just about being faster, higher, stronger, but also about embracing sports with a positive attitude. 1.What can we know about the athletes mentioned in the passage? A. “Butterfly queen” Zhang Yufei won a gold medal in the competition. B. The US swimming team was the champion in the men’s relay. C. 18-year-old BMX freestyle cyclist Deng Yawen really enjoyed competing. D. Zheng Qinwen won the first gold medal for Chinese tennis in women’s doubles. 2.Which words can best describe the Chinese athletes? A. Calm and brave. B. Confident and inclusive. C. Generous and humorous. D. Hard-working and open-minded. 3.What is the meaning of the underlined word “captivate” in Paragraph 4? A. Relax. B. Attract. C. Benefit. D. Encourage. 4.What was the public focus in the past? A. Winning gold medals. B. Valuing respect for athletes. C. Showing a new image of China. D. Enjoying the unforgettable moments. 5.Which of the following can be the best title for the passage? A. Faster, higher, stronger. B. Record-breaking achievements. C. The Paris 2024 Olympic Games. D. Embracing the true Olympic spirit. 主题语境02 人与社会-科学与技术 （25-26高二上·天津部分重点校联考·期中）The saying “Age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don’t mind, it doesn’t matter.” has become popular, yet many dismiss it as empty advice. For someone approaching 50, the reality of aging can feel unavoidable. However, recent studies show that our subjective age-how old we feel-has a profound impact on health and lifespan. Traditionally, age is measured by birth certificates, but scientists now focus on biological age indicators like inflammation (炎症) levels. While physical decline is certain, psychological factors also play a critical role. Aging experts note that just as bodies change with time, minds follow predictable patterns. In the 1990s, Stanford researcher Laura Carstensen studied how psychology changes with age. Young people, considering time as limitless, prioritize exploration-learning, socializing, and forming new connections. This encourages enthusiasm but also impulsivity (冲动) and emotional weakness. In contrast, older adults, aware of life’s being limited, shift toward seeking meaning, emotional depth, and sharing wisdom. Yet individual differences exist. Some people remain “young at heart”, while others adopt older behaviors prematurely. Research shows these differences matter: a lower subjective age correlates with better health, longer life expectancy, and reduced inflammation — a key indicator of disease. So, what determines subjective age? While genetics and lifestyle contribute, mindset appears crucial. Older adults who stay socially active, learn new skills, and maintain purpose report feeling younger. The good news is that subjective age is malleable (可塑的). Simple habits — like adopting hobbies, maintaining relationships, or practicing gratitude — can reframe one’s insight into time. Feeling younger isn’t just about optimism; it’s a practical strategy for healthier aging. Actually, aging isn’t only a biological process but a psychological journey. By focusing on what truly matters-connection, growth, and purpose, we might not stop the clock, but we can certainly make it tick differently. 1.What does paragraph 1 imply? A. Inflammation levels don’t decide age at all. B. How old we feel doesn’t affect our health and lifespan. C. The reality of aging can make people lose the purpose of life. D. Age is a mirror of mental attitude; brave it, and it reflects energy. 2.Which do young people consider as important? A. Emotional stability. B. Financial security. C. New challenges. D. Social status. 3.A lower subjective age may lead to ________. A. shorter life expectancy B. poorer health C. lower social interaction D. fewer diseases 4.What might be helpful for a subjective age? A. Developing an interest in drawing. B. Talking to friends all the time C. Becoming emotional with everything. D. Adopting older behaviors prematurely. 5.What is the best title of the text? A. Give in to Your Age! B. Keep a Healthy Lifestyle! C. Don’t Act Your Age! D. What Is Subjective Age? 主题语境01 人与社会-历史、社会与文化 Passage 1 （25-26高二上·天津第二十中学-11月·期中）Female role models are having a moment. In the United States, there is a female vice president. The women’s soccer team is fighting a public, uphill battle for equal pay. Women are even making their way into what had seemed a permanent men’s club: the senior operation ranks of the armed forces. Role models inspire people by showing what is actually possible. Research supports that it works: these pioneers not only help us imagine where we might go but also map out the path there. Role models have also been shown to have a bigger impact on women and underrepresented communities— those who have not easily achieved their goals. Seeing more women in the world of science, girls of today are more likely, when asked to draw a scientist, to draw a woman than those in past decades. Even one role model can benefit a child, helping them perform better in school and maintain a positive attitude. However, the idea of “good role models” needs an update, especially when it comes to girls; otherwise the endless stream of shining shots of achievement they see can actually lead to self-doubt. In addition to role models, our work on girls and the process of building confidence has found that what girls really need are “work in progress” models. Girls tend to judge themselves harshly and suffer from perfectionism. They need to see the struggles and failures in their role models, as well as great perseverance. Anything that suggests success effortlessly achieved can be discouraged Helping girls see the extraordinary in the seemingly ordinary is a good solution to unrealistic expectations. “Everyday heroes have a special impact,” said the child psychologist Bonnie Zucker. “Take a young girl who has to shoulder-the-responsibility for raising her brothers or sisters for some reason. She might not have attractive social media presence, but her bravery, devotion, and emotional labor are, in fact, heroic.” 1.What can we infer about role models from Paragraph 2? A. They give us realistic guides to success. B. They help us know more outstanding people. C. They are preferred by female groups. D. They show us the value of keeping learning. 2.What influence can the shots of achievement have on girls? A. Broadening their minds. B. Inspiring them to dream big. C. Driving them to work harder. D. Making them doubt themselves. 3.Why do girls need “work in progress” models? A. They make them achieve success quickly. B. They help them accept their imperfect selves. C. They teach them to be strict with themselves. D. They encourage them to follow their dreams. 4.What does the author imply by mentioning Bonnie Zucher’s words? A. Many girls’ expectations are unrealistic. B. Girls have a strong sense of responsibility. C. Girls can follow heroic examples in daily life. D. Social activities are of great importance to girls. Passage 2 （25-26高二上·天津第五十五中学·期中）When we visit museums, we see cultural artifacts—from everyday household items to precious carvings and statues, which show us the different cultures and communities from around the world. However, debate surrounds these artifacts and whether or not countries should return these pieces of culture if they were stolen or forcefully taken during colonization. By the 18th and 19th centuries, European countries such as Britain, France, and the Netherlands had colonized many African and Asian countries. During their rule, they seized artifacts and brought them to their own countries, where they are now on show in museums. Over the years, European museums have been asked to give back the artifacts. In 2009, Egypt demanded that France return five pieces of a wall painting from the tomb of Tekati. In 2012, Nigeria asked for the return of thirty-two cultural items from the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. In 2017, the Government of Benin in West Africa tried to reach an agreement with the British Museum to return their Benin Bronzes. The debate regarding this issue took a turn in 2018 when under President Emmanuel Macron, a report was released that directed that all heritage objects brought to French museums be returned. With the official release of this report, museums all across Europe began reconsidering their previous policies on colonial treasures. In France, twenty-seven artifacts had been identified for return, but only one has been returned. Then, on Tuesday, October 6, 2020, France's National Assembly officially passed a bill promising the return of these heritage artifacts, but didn't arrange a certain date. Those who suggest returning these objects to their homes argue that with technology enabling online museum tours, returning these artifacts to their homeland does not take away the opportunity to learn about them. Furthermore, the country owning the objects will receive a significant part of their heritage back, and these artifacts will be given a chance to be truly appreciated in homeland. Those against the return hold the view that culture is a shared treasure and the artifacts are in fact “cultural ambassadors” that promote understanding. They believe that while stealing them was wrong, history is full of “good” and “bad” actors. Moreover, they feel that keeping the cultural objects in the current museums has kept millions of artifacts safe from damage. 1.What is Paragraph 3 mainly about? A. Requests for the return of cultural objects. B. Discussion about stolen artifacts' protection. C. Debate on whether to give back the stolen artifacts. D. Demands for the museums' ownership of the artifacts. 2.Why did the museums reconsider their policies? A. French president promised to well protect the artifacts in the museum. B. French government agreed to send the artifacts back to their homeland. C. European countries officially agreed to give back the colonial treasures. D. President Emmanuel Macron demanded European museums return the artifacts. 3.What can we learn from Paragraph 5? A. It is impossible for France to keep its promise. B. French government is confident about its policy. C. The stolen treasures can't be back to their homeland soon. D. Artifacts are more appreciated in France than in other countries. 4.People who consider the artifacts as “cultural ambassadors” may agree that . A. mistakes in history need correcting in time B. artifacts will be better protected in homeland C. heritage objects belong to all the human beings D. online museum tours will be popular in the future Passage 3 （25-26高二上·天津咸水沽第一中学和百中·期中）About six years ago I was eating lunch in a restaurant in New York City when a woman and a young boy sat down at the next table. I couldn’t help overhearing parts of their conversation. At one point the woman asked, “So, how have you been?” And the boy — who could not have been more than 7 or 8 years old — replied, “Frankly, I’ve been feeling a little depressed lately.” This incident (小事件) stuck in my mind because it confirmed (证实) my growing belief that children are changing. As far as I can remember, my friends and I didn’t find out we were “depressed” until we were in high school. The evidence of a change in children has increased steadily in recent years. Children don’t seem childlike anymore. Children speak more like adults, dress more like adults and behave more like adults than they used to. Whether this is good or bad is difficult to say, but it is certainly different. Children as they once were no longer exists. Why? Human development is based not only on innate biological states, but also on patterns of access to social knowledge. Movement from one social route to another usually involves learning the secrets of the new status. Children have always been taught adult secrets, but slowly and in stages: traditionally, we tell sixth graders things we keep hidden from fifth graders. In the last 30 years, however, a secret-revelation (揭示) machine has been installed in 98 percent of American homes. It is called television. Television passes information indiscriminately to all viewers alike, be they children or adults. Unable to resist the temptation, many children turn their attention from printed texts to the less challenging, more vivid moving pictures. Communication through print, as a matter of fact, allows for a great deal of control over the social information to which children have access. Reading and writing involve a complex code of symbols that must be memorized and practiced. Children must read simple books before they can read complex materials. 1.Why did the incident in the New York restaurant stick in the author’s mind? A. It made the author realize children are not like what they used to be. B. The woman and the boy had a very interesting conversation. C. The young boy’s age was much younger than the author expected. D. The author felt sorry for the boy’s depressed state 2.According to the author, feeling depressed is ________. A. a sure sign of a mental problem in children B. a mental state present in all humans, including children C. something hardly to be expected in a young child D. something that can’t be avoided in children’s mental development 3.Traditionally, a child is supposed to learn about the adult world _________. A. through connection with society B. gradually and under guidance C. naturally without being taught D. through watching television 4.What does the author think of television’s influence on children? A. It helps children learn social knowledge in a proper way. B. It makes children more interested in challenging learning tasks. C. It passes adult information to children without distinction. D. It protects children from inappropriate social information 5.What does the author think of the change in today’s children? A. He feels their adult like behavior is so funny. B. He thinks the change worth our attention. C. He considers it a rapid development. D. He is extremely upset about it. 主题语境02 人与社会-社会服务与人际沟通 （25-26高二上·天津咸水沽第一中学和百中·期中）Hita Gupta used to volunteer at a nursing home, trying to brighten the days of the residents. Now she spreads sunshine far and wide. As a 15-year-old sophomore (二年级学生) at Conestoga High School, Hita has created a nonprofit organization that specializes in bringing cheer to socially isolated seniors. Her Brighten A Day foundation started out by sending goodie bags (礼包) with an adult coloring book, a large print puzzle book and crayons to Philadelphia-area nursing homes and sending letters with uplifting messages to facilities in neighboring states. Hita has since widened the scope (范围) of her project, which is backed by donations through a Go Fund Me page as well as the work of an expanding army of volunteers. The project has reached as far as Hawaii and now includes video messages as well as the delivery of smart devices to help residents communicate with loved ones. “We’ve been able to reach so many seniors-who are among the loneliest people in our society-and let them know they are not alone,” Hita said. Hita’s project has lifted spirits at the Genesis Wayne Center, according to Kaylee Nichols, the facility’s director. “It’s impressive to see a high school student take that kind of initiative,” Nichols said. “That generation, they normally don’t think about seniors.” Hita was motivated to take action when officials at the nursing home where she used to volunteer said that she couldn’t visit anymore because of the corona virus outbreak. It made her determined to do something else to try to help. She started the Go Fund Me page, expanded the foundation’s website and began organizing volunteers from around the country to write cards or make videos for nursing home residents, who have been the most severely impacted by COVID-19. Hita also expanded her project to include the acquisition (购买) and distribution of smart devices to nursing homes and long-term care facilities. “I'm very proud that Hita is able to bring smiles to so many seniors,” her mother, Swait, wrote in an email. Hita said her foundation's name was a reflection of her determination to chase away doubt and depression for folks in need. “I thought of the sun,” Gupta said. “I thought of people in the dark, lonely, and how much I wanted to brighten their days and bring joy to them.” 1.What did Hita’s Brighten A Day foundation first do to cheer up seniors? A. Sent smart devices to nursing homes in Hawaii B. Delivered goodie bags and uplifting letters to seniors C. Organized volunteers to make video calls with seniors D. Held online activities for socially isolated seniors 2.Which of the following helps support Hita’s project now? A. Donations from a Go Fund Me page only. B. Her own savings and local community help. C. Donations and work from more volunteers. D. Financial support from nursing homes. 3.How does Hita Gupta’s family feel about her efforts? A. Surprised. B. Frustrated. C. Supportive. D. Disappointed. 4.What does her foundation’s name mean? A. It shows her resolution to get rid of people's sad feeling. B. It's a reflection of her decision to expand her project. C. It mirrors her doubt to bring joy to people in need. D. It is the public image of her project. 5.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A. How to Help Socially Isolated Seniors in Nursing Homes B. A 15-Year-Old’s Foundation Brings Joy to Lonely Seniors C. The Impact of COVID-19 on Nursing Home Residents D. Volunteer Work: A Good Way to Brighten Seniors’ Days 主题语境01 人与自我-做人与做事 （25-26高二上·天津部分区·期中）We’ve all been there-accidentally distanced a new co-worker with a bad joke, or failed to impress the new boss with our first task. You might have been off your game because of a recent failure, but your new co-workers are likely to think that your poor performance is one of your basic features. However, it’s not impossible to change how others view you. Your co-workers may have built up a certain impression of you — that you’re not leadership material because you’re too quiet, for example. You can’t expect to turn over that thinking with small actions. You need to do something unexpected. If you’ve made them think you’re quiet and never speak up, it won’t be enough to talk once in a meeting. Instead, make a point of being the first person to speak. If your co-workers have to ask themselves, “What got into him?” then you’re on the way to changing their views. My first impression of Matthew, an employee of mine, was that he was a bit lazy at work. Realizing that I was increasingly unimpressed with him, he made a move. He suggested that we get to know each other better by going to a rock-climbing gym — an activity at which he was very experienced, and I was a beginner. I depended on Matthew’s skills as his climbing partner, and his great skills showed me a different side to his abilities. Sometimes the bad impression your co-workers may have formed has nothing to do with you. About ten years ago, I met a woman at a meeting. Today, we’re close friends. But, she said that she hadn’t liked me at first. She thought I seemed “too positive”. It was only after knowing me for several years that she realized that was in fact how I was. It’s unfair when we feel misunderstood. But while first impressions are likely to stick, they can — with time and effort — be changed, so that your true talents can be appreciated. 1.What does the underlined phrase “off your game” in the first paragraph probably mean? A. Beaten in a sport. B. Lost in your computer game. C. Unable to work as well as usual. D. Unwilling to accept a new friend. 2.How can we change others’ impressions of us according to Para. 2? A. By questioning them. B. By organizing meetings. C. By keeping quiet. D. By surprising them. 3.Why did Matthew ask the author to go rock climbing with him? A. To push the author to exercise more. B. To get the author to know him better. C. To explore new job chances. D. To show off his climbing skills. 4.What did the woman think of the author at first according to Para. 4? A. Brave. B. Friendly. C. Insincere. D. Impatient. 5.What would be the best title for the text? A. The power of first impressions B. First impressions always lie C. Why first impressions are important D. First impressions can be changed 主题语境02 人与自然-自然生态 （25-26高二上·天津双菱中学·期中）My wife and I moved into our home nine years ago. We have a yard a “rock garden”. There the rocks appear to be just thrown up onto the dirt as if someone were in a hurry to finish. Very often when we have more flowers, Denise or I would plant them between the rocks, just to bring some color to the area. Last summer I found, in the rock garden, a tiny little plant that I could not immediately recognize. I knew I didn’t plant it and Denise said she didn’t either. We decided to let it continue growing until we could find out what it was. Weeks passed and as I made my way back to the strange plant, it appeared to be a sunflower. It looked thin and tall with only one head on it. I decided to baby it along and weed (除草) around it. As I pulled rocks from the area to get to the weeds, I noticed something unusual. The sunflower had not started where I saw it begin. It actually had begun under a big rock and grown under and around it to reach the sun. If a tiny little sunflower didn’t let a big rock stand in its way of developing, we too have the ability to do the same thing. If we believe in ourselves like that little sunflower, we can reach where we aim to go and get what we need for growth. We need to believe in ourselves knowing we have the ability to achieve our goals. Like the sunflower, it knew it had the ability to get over the rocks because it had faith in itself that it would succeed. Stand tall like the sunflower and be proud of who and what we are, then other things will begin to support us. We will find a way to go under or around any “rocks” in order to realize our goals. 1.The family planted flowers in the yard ________. A. to attract visitors B. to remove the rocks C. to please their neighbors D. to make the area colorful 2.The author let the tiny plant continue growing ________ . A. to see how long it could live B. to see how big it could grow C. to find out what it actually was D. to know if his wife had planted it 3.The author think the sunflower was unusual because ________. A. it was very thin and tall B. it had only one head on it C. it grew on top of a big rock D. it began to grow under a rock 4.We can conclude from the passage that ________. A. rocks cannot prevent us from success B. we can get over difficulties if we trust ourselves C. we should take good care of the rock gardens D. sunflowers are able to grow everywhere 5.Which is the best title of the passage? A. Stand Tall Like the Sunflower B. The Sunflower and My Family C. Being Proud of the Sunflower D.

Research shows these differences matter: a lower subjective age correlates with better health, longer life expectancy, and reduced inflammation — a key indicator of disease. So, what determines subjective age? While genetics and lifestyle contribute, mindset appears crucial. Older adults who stay socially active, learn new skills, and maintain purpose report feeling younger. The good news is that subjective age is malleable (可塑的). Simple habits — like adopting hobbies, maintaining relationships, or practicing gratitude — can reframe one’s insight into time. Feeling younger isn’t just about optimism; it’s a practical strategy for healthier aging. Actually, aging isn’t only a biological process but a psychological journey. By focusing on what truly matters-connection, growth, and purpose, we might not stop the clock, but we can certainly make it tick differently. 1.What does paragraph 1 imply? A. Inflammation levels don’t decide age at all. B. How old we feel doesn’t affect our health and lifespan. C. The reality of aging can make people lose the purpose of life. D. Age is a mirror of mental attitude; brave it, and it reflects energy. 2.Which do young people consider as important? A. Emotional stability. B. Financial security. C. New challenges. D. Social status. 3.A lower subjective age may lead to ________. A. shorter life expectancy B. poorer health C. lower social interaction D. fewer diseases 4.What might be helpful for a subjective age? A. Developing an interest in drawing. B. Talking to friends all the time C. Becoming emotional with everything. D. Adopting older behaviors prematurely. 5.What is the best title of the text? A. Give in to Your Age! B. Keep a Healthy Lifestyle! C. Don’t Act Your Age! D. What Is Subjective Age? 【答案】1. D　2. C　3. D　4. A　5. C 【解析】【导语】 这是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了主观年龄对健康和寿命的影响，并指出通过积极的心态和生活方式可以让人感觉更年轻。 (1)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第一段提到“Age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don’t mind, it doesn’t matter. (年龄是一个心态问题。如果你不介意，它就不重要。)”和“our subjective age-how old we feel-has a profound impact on health and lifespan. (我们的主观年龄——我们感觉自己有多老——对健康和寿命有着深远的影响。)” 由此可知，第一段暗示了年龄是心态的一面镜子；接受它，它就会反映出活力。故选D项。 (2)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Young people, considering time as limitless, prioritize exploration - learning, socializing, and forming new connections. (年轻人认为时间是无限的，优先考虑探索——学习、社交和建立新的联系。)”可知，选项C“新的挑战”正确，因为探索和学习新事物通常涉及新的挑战。故选C项。 (3)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第三段中“a lower subjective age correlates with better health, longer life expectancy, and reduced inflammation — a key indicator of disease (较低的主观年龄与较好的健康状况、较长的预期寿命和较低的炎症（疾病的一个关键指标）有关。)”可知，较低的主观年龄与更好的健康状况、更长的预期寿命以及炎症减少（疾病的关键指标）相关。所以较低的主观年龄可能导致更少的疾病。故选D项。 (4)题解析： 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“Simple habits — like adopting hobbies, maintaining relationships, or practicing gratitude — can reframe one’s insight into time. (简单的习惯——比如培养兴趣爱好、维持人际关系或学会感恩——可以重塑一个人对时间的洞察力。)”可知，培养爱好（像对绘画产生兴趣 Developing an interest in drawing ）有助于改变对时间的看法，进而对主观年龄有帮助。故选A项。 (5)题解析： 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章主要讨论了主观年龄对健康和寿命的影响，并指出通过积极的心态和生活方式可以让人感觉更年轻。因此，选项C“不要表现得像你的实际年龄那样”符合文章主旨，适合作为文章的标题，它强调了主观年龄与实际年龄之间的差异，并鼓励人们保持年轻的心态。故选C项。 主题语境01 人与社会-历史、社会与文化 Passage 1 （25-26高二上·天津第二十中学-11月·期中）Female role models are having a moment. In the United States, there is a female vice president. The women’s soccer team is fighting a public, uphill battle for equal pay. Women are even making their way into what had seemed a permanent men’s club: the senior operation ranks of the armed forces. Role models inspire people by showing what is actually possible. Research supports that it works: these pioneers not only help us imagine where we might go but also map out the path there. Role models have also been shown to have a bigger impact on women and underrepresented communities— those who have not easily achieved their goals. Seeing more women in the world of science, girls of today are more likely, when asked to draw a scientist, to draw a woman than those in past decades. Even one role model can benefit a child, helping them perform better in school and maintain a positive attitude. However, the idea of “good role models” needs an update, especially when it comes to girls; otherwise the endless stream of shining shots of achievement they see can actually lead to self-doubt. In addition to role models, our work on girls and the process of building confidence has found that what girls really need are “work in progress” models. Girls tend to judge themselves harshly and suffer from perfectionism. They need to see the struggles and failures in their role models, as well as great perseverance. Anything that suggests success effortlessly achieved can be discouraged Helping girls see the extraordinary in the seemingly ordinary is a good solution to unrealistic expectations. “Everyday heroes have a special impact,” said the child psychologist Bonnie Zucker. “Take a young girl who has to shoulder-the-responsibility for raising her brothers or sisters for some reason. She might not have attractive social media presence, but her bravery, devotion, and emotional labor are, in fact, heroic.” 1.What can we infer about role models from Paragraph 2? A. They give us realistic guides to success. B. They help us know more outstanding people. C. They are preferred by female groups. D. They show us the value of keeping learning. 2.What influence can the shots of achievement have on girls? A. Broadening their minds. B. Inspiring them to dream big. C. Driving them to work harder. D. Making them doubt themselves. 3.Why do girls need “work in progress” models? A. They make them achieve success quickly. B. They help them accept their imperfect selves. C. They teach them to be strict with themselves. D. They encourage them to follow their dreams. 4.What does the author imply by mentioning Bonnie Zucher’s words? A. Many girls’ expectations are unrealistic. B. Girls have a strong sense of responsibility. C. Girls can follow heroic examples in daily life. D. Social activities are of great importance to girls. 【答案】1. A　2. D　3. B　4. C 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇议论文。文章主要围绕女性榜样展开，介绍了榜样的积极作用，同时指出女孩更需要“成长中”的榜样，并说明日常英雄的特殊影响。 (1)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第二段中“Research supports that it works: these pioneers not only help us imagine where we might go but also map out the path there.(研究证实这一作用是存在的：这些先驱者不仅帮助我们想象我们可以去往的方向，还为我们规划出实现目标的路径。)”可知，榜样能给我们提供通往成功的实际指引。故选A。 (2)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第三段中“However, the idea of ‘good role models’ needs an update, especially when it comes to girls; otherwise the endless stream of shining shots of achievement they see can actually lead to self-doubt.(不过，‘优秀榜样’的概念需要更新了，尤其是在涉及女孩群体时；否则，她们看到的那些源源不断的辉煌成就画面，实际上会让她们陷入自我怀疑。)”可知，这些成就画面会让女孩自我怀疑。故选D。 (3)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Girls tend to judge themselves harshly and suffer from perfectionism. They need to see the struggles and failures in their role models, as well as great perseverance.(女孩们往往会苛刻地评判自己，深受完美主义的困扰。她们需要看到榜样身上的挣扎与失败，以及强大的毅力。)”可知，“成长中”的榜样能帮助女孩接受不完美的自己。故选B。 (4)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第三段中“‘Everyday heroes have a special impact,’ said the child psychologist Bonnie Zucker. ‘Take a young girl who has to shoulder-the-responsibility for raising her brothers or sisters for some reason. She might not have attractive social media presence, but her bravery, devotion, and emotional labor are, in fact, heroic.’(儿童心理学家Bonnie Zucker说：‘日常英雄有着特殊的影响。比如一个因某种原因不得不承担起抚养弟弟妹妹责任的年轻女孩。她可能没有吸引人的社交媒体形象，但她的勇敢、奉献和情感付出实际上是英勇的。’)”可知，作者意在说明女孩可以学习日常生活中的英雄榜样。故选C。 Passage 2 （25-26高二上·天津第五十五中学·期中）When we visit museums, we see cultural artifacts—from everyday household items to precious carvings and statues, which show us the different cultures and communities from around the world. However, debate surrounds these artifacts and whether or not countries should return these pieces of culture if they were stolen or forcefully taken during colonization. By the 18th and 19th centuries, European countries such as Britain, France, and the Netherlands had colonized many African and Asian countries. During their rule, they seized artifacts and brought them to their own countries, where they are now on show in museums. Over the years, European museums have been asked to give back the artifacts. In 2009, Egypt demanded that France return five pieces of a wall painting from the tomb of Tekati. In 2012, Nigeria asked for the return of thirty-two cultural items from the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. In 2017, the Government of Benin in West Africa tried to reach an agreement with the British Museum to return their Benin Bronzes. The debate regarding this issue took a turn in 2018 when under President Emmanuel Macron, a report was released that directed that all heritage objects brought to French museums be returned. With the official release of this report, museums all across Europe began reconsidering their previous policies on colonial treasures. In France, twenty-seven artifacts had been identified for return, but only one has been returned. Then, on Tuesday, October 6, 2020, France's National Assembly officially passed a bill promising the return of these heritage artifacts, but didn't arrange a certain date. Those who suggest returning these objects to their homes argue that with technology enabling online museum tours, returning these artifacts to their homeland does not take away the opportunity to learn about them. Furthermore, the country owning the objects will receive a significant part of their heritage back, and these artifacts will be given a chance to be truly appreciated in homeland. Those against the return hold the view that culture is a shared treasure and the artifacts are in fact “cultural ambassadors” that promote understanding. They believe that while stealing them was wrong, history is full of “good” and “bad” actors. Moreover, they feel that keeping the cultural objects in the current museums has kept millions of artifacts safe from damage. 1.What is Paragraph 3 mainly about? A. Requests for the return of cultural objects. B. Discussion about stolen artifacts' protection. C. Debate on whether to give back the stolen artifacts. D. Demands for the museums' ownership of the artifacts. 2.Why did the museums reconsider their policies? A. French president promised to well protect the artifacts in the museum. B. French government agreed to send the artifacts back to their homeland. C. European countries officially agreed to give back the colonial treasures. D. President Emmanuel Macron demanded European museums return the artifacts. 3.What can we learn from Paragraph 5? A. It is impossible for France to keep its promise. B. French government is confident about its policy. C. The stolen treasures can't be back to their homeland soon. D. Artifacts are more appreciated in France than in other countries. 4.People who consider the artifacts as “cultural ambassadors” may agree that . A. mistakes in history need correcting in time B. artifacts will be better protected in homeland C. heritage objects belong to all the human beings D. online museum tours will be popular in the future 【答案】1. A　2. B　3. C　4. C 【解析】 这是一篇议论文。当我们参观博物馆时，我们会看到文化物品——从日常生活用品到珍贵的雕刻和雕像，它们向我们展示了世界各地不同的文化和社区。然而，围绕这些文物的争论是，如果这些文物是在殖民时期被盗或被强行拿走的，国家是否应该归还这些文物。文章主要介绍了世界上很多国家要求欧洲的博物馆归还被盗走文物的问题，说明了人们对此的不同看法。 (1)题解析： 主旨大意题。根据第三段“Over the years, European museums have been asked to give back the artifacts. In 2009, Egypt demanded that France return five pieces of a wall painting from the tomb of Tekati. In 2012, Nigeria asked for the return of thirty-two cultural items from the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. In 2017, the Government of Benin in West Africa tried to reach an agreement with the British Museum to return their Benin Bronzes.(多年来，欧洲的博物馆一直被要求归还这些文物。2009年，埃及要求法国归还特卡蒂墓中的五幅壁画。2012年，尼日利亚要求波士顿美术馆归还32件文化物品。2017年，西非贝宁的政府试图与大英博物馆达成协议，归还他们的贝宁青铜器)”可知，第三段主要讲了各个国家归还文物的要求。故选A。 (2)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第四段“The debate regarding this issue took a turn in 2018 when under President Emmanuel Macron, a report was released that directed that all heritage objects brought to French museums be returned. With the official release of this report, museums all across Europe began reconsidering their previous policies on colonial treasures.( 2018年，在Emmanuel Macron总统的领导下，有关这个问题的辩论出现了转折，发布了一份报告，要求归还所有被带入法国博物馆的文物。随着这份报告的正式发布，欧洲各地的博物馆开始重新考虑他们以前对殖民珍宝的政策)”可知，博物馆要重新考虑他们的政策，因为法国政府同意将这些文物送回他们的祖国。故选B。 (3)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第五段中“Then, on Tuesday, October 6, 2020, France's National Assembly officially passed a bill promising the return of these heritage artifacts, but didn't arrange a certain date.(然后，在2020年10月6日星期二，法国国民议会正式通过了一项法案，承诺归还这些文物，但没有安排具体的日期)”可知，被偷的财宝不能很快回到他们的祖国。故选C。 (4)题解析： 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Those against the return hold the view that culture is a shared treasure and the artifacts are in fact “cultural ambassadors” that promote understanding.(反对回归的人认为，文化是一种共享的财富，文物实际上是促进理解的“文化大使”)”可知，认为这些手工艺品是“文化大使”的人可能会同意C选项“文物属于全人类”的观点。故选C。 Passage 3 （25-26高二上·天津咸水沽第一中学和百中·期中）About six years ago I was eating lunch in a restaurant in New York City when a woman and a young boy sat down at the next table. I couldn’t help overhearing parts of their conversation. At one point the woman asked, “So, how have you been?” And the boy — who could not have been more than 7 or 8 years old — replied, “Frankly, I’ve been feeling a little depressed lately.” This incident (小事件) stuck in my mind because it confirmed (证实) my growing belief that children are changing. As far as I can remember, my friends and I didn’t find out we were “depressed” until we were in high school. The evidence of a change in children has increased steadily in recent years. Children don’t seem childlike anymore. Children speak more like adults, dress more like adults and behave more like adults than they used to. Whether this is good or bad is difficult to say, but it is certainly different. Children as they once were no longer exists. Why? Human development is based not only on innate biological states, but also on patterns of access to social knowledge. Movement from one social route to another usually involves learning the secrets of the new status. Children have always been taught adult secrets, but slowly and in stages: traditionally, we tell sixth graders things we keep hidden from fifth graders. In the last 30 years, however, a secret-revelation (揭示) machine has been installed in 98 percent of American homes. It is called television. Television passes information indiscriminately to all viewers alike, be they children or adults. Unable to resist the temptation, many children turn their attention from printed texts to the less challenging, more vivid moving pictures. Communication through print, as a matter of fact, allows for a great deal of control over the social information to which children have access. Reading and writing involve a complex code of symbols that must be memorized and practiced. Children must read simple books before they can read complex materials. 1.Why did the incident in the New York restaurant stick in the author’s mind? A. It made the author realize children are not like what they used to be. B. The woman and the boy had a very interesting conversation. C. The young boy’s age was much younger than the author expected. D. The author felt sorry for the boy’s depressed state 2.According to the author, feeling depressed is ________. A. a sure sign of a mental problem in children B. a mental state present in all humans, including children C. something hardly to be expected in a young child D. something that can’t be avoided in children’s mental development 3.Traditionally, a child is supposed to learn about the adult world _________. A. through connection with society B. gradually and under guidance C. naturally without being taught D. through watching television 4.What does the author think of television’s influence on children? A. It helps children learn social knowledge in a proper way. B. It makes children more interested in challenging learning tasks. C. It passes adult information to children without distinction. D. It protects children from inappropriate social information 5.What does the author think of the change in today’s children? A. He feels their adult like behavior is so funny. B. He thinks the change worth our attention. C. He considers it a rapid development. D. He is extremely upset about it. 【答案】1. A　2. C　3. B　4. C　5. B 【解析】【导语】 这是一篇夹叙夹议文。本文讲述了作者在纽约餐馆吃饭时，听到一个七八岁男孩说出“我最近有点沮丧”的话，这使作者意识到现在的孩子与过去不同了，他们不再像以前那样天真无邪，而是表现得越来越像成年人。 (1)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第二段“This incident stuck in my mind because it confirmed my growing belief that children are changing.(这件事一直萦绕在我的脑海中，因为它证实了我日益增长的信念，即孩子们正在发生变化。)”可知，纽约餐馆里发生的事情让作者印象深刻是因为它让作者意识到现在的孩子和以前不一样了。故选A。 (2)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第二段“As far as I can remember, my friends and I didn’t find out we were “depressed” until we were in high school.(据我所记得的，我和我的朋友们直到上高中才发现我们“沮丧”。)”可知，作者认为感到沮丧是在小孩子身上几乎难以预料的事情。故选C。 (3)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第四段“Children have always been taught adult secrets, but slowly and in stages: traditionally, we tell sixth graders things we keep hidden from fifth graders.(孩子们总是被教导成人的秘密，但这是缓慢的、分阶段的：传统上，我们告诉六年级学生我们对五年级学生隐瞒的事情。)”可知，传统上，一个孩子应该在指导下逐渐地了解成人世界。故选B。 (4)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第五段“Television passes information indiscriminately to all viewers alike, be they children or adults.(电视不加区别地向所有观众传递信息，无论他们是儿童还是成人。)”可知，作者认为电视不加区别地向儿童传递成人信息。故选C。 (5)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第二段“This incident stuck in my mind because it confirmed my growing belief that children are changing.(这件事一直萦绕在我的脑海中，因为它证实了我日益增长的信念，即孩子们正在发生变化。)”和第三段“Whether this is good or bad is difficult to say, but it is certainly different.

Now she spreads sunshine far and wide. As a 15-year-old sophomore (二年级学生) at Conestoga High School, Hita has created a nonprofit organization that specializes in bringing cheer to socially isolated seniors. Her Brighten A Day foundation started out by sending goodie bags (礼包) with an adult coloring book, a large print puzzle book and crayons to Philadelphia-area nursing homes and sending letters with uplifting messages to facilities in neighboring states. Hita has since widened the scope (范围) of her project, which is backed by donations through a Go Fund Me page as well as the work of an expanding army of volunteers. The project has reached as far as Hawaii and now includes video messages as well as the delivery of smart devices to help residents communicate with loved ones. “We’ve been able to reach so many seniors-who are among the loneliest people in our society-and let them know they are not alone,” Hita said. Hita’s project has lifted spirits at the Genesis Wayne Center, according to Kaylee Nichols, the facility’s director. “It’s impressive to see a high school student take that kind of initiative,” Nichols said. “That generation, they normally don’t think about seniors.” Hita was motivated to take action when officials at the nursing home where she used to volunteer said that she couldn’t visit anymore because of the corona virus outbreak. It made her determined to do something else to try to help. She started the Go Fund Me page, expanded the foundation’s website and began organizing volunteers from around the country to write cards or make videos for nursing home residents, who have been the most severely impacted by COVID-19. Hita also expanded her project to include the acquisition (购买) and distribution of smart devices to nursing homes and long-term care facilities. “I'm very proud that Hita is able to bring smiles to so many seniors,” her mother, Swait, wrote in an email.

You might have been off your game because of a recent failure, but your new co-workers are likely to think that your poor performance is one of your basic features. However, it’s not impossible to change how others view you. Your co-workers may have built up a certain impression of you — that you’re not leadership material because you’re too quiet, for example. You can’t expect to turn over that thinking with small actions. You need to do something unexpected. If you’ve made them think you’re quiet and never speak up, it won’t be enough to talk once in a meeting. Instead, make a point of being the first person to speak. If your co-workers have to ask themselves, “What got into him?” then you’re on the way to changing their views. My first impression of Matthew, an employee of mine, was that he was a bit lazy at work. Realizing that I was increasingly unimpressed with him, he made a move. He suggested that we get to know each other better by going to a rock-climbing gym — an activity at which he was very experienced, and I was a beginner. I depended on Matthew’s skills as his climbing partner, and his great skills showed me a different side to his abilities. Sometimes the bad impression your co-workers may have formed has nothing to do with you. About ten years ago, I met a woman at a meeting. Today, we’re close friends. But, she said that she hadn’t liked me at first. She thought I seemed “too positive”. It was only after knowing me for several years that she realized that was in fact how I was. It’s unfair when we feel misunderstood. But while first impressions are likely to stick, they can — with time and effort — be changed, so that your true talents can be appreciated. 1.What does the underlined phrase “off your game” in the first paragraph probably mean? A. Beaten in a sport. B. Lost in your computer game. C. Unable to work as well as usual. D. Unwilling to accept a new friend. 2.How can we change others’ impressions of us according to Para. 2? A. By questioning them. B. By organizing meetings. C. By keeping quiet. D. By surprising them. 3.Why did Matthew ask the author to go rock climbing with him? A. To push the author to exercise more. B. To get the author to know him better. C. To explore new job chances. D. To show off his climbing skills. 4.What did the woman think of the author at first according to Para. 4? A. Brave. B. Friendly. C. Insincere. D. Impatient. 5.What would be the best title for the text? A. The power of first impressions B. First impressions always lie C. Why first impressions are important D. First impressions can be changed 【答案】1. C　2. D　3. B　4. C　5. D 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章通过作者自身经历及他人的事例，阐述了尽管第一印象往往难以改变，但通过时间和努力，他人对我们的印象是可以被改变的。 (1)题解析： 词句猜测题。根据划线词所在句“You might have been off your game because of a recent failure, but your new co-workers are likely to think that your poor performance is one of your basic features.(或许你因一时失利状态不佳，但新同事很容易将你的低迷表现视为你的常态)”中“a recent failure”和“think that your poor performance is one of your basic features.”可知，由于最近的一次失败，你可能会不在状态，所以新同事可能会认为你的低迷表现是你的基本特征之一。故划线短语“off your game”意思是“不能像往常一样工作得好；不在状态”。故选C项。 (2)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第二段中“You can’t expect to turn over that thinking with small actions. You need to do something unexpected.(你不能指望用小行动来改变这种想法。你需要做一些意想不到的事情)”可知，我们可以通过做一些意想不到的事情，即通过让他们感到惊讶来改变别人对我们的印象。故选D项。 (3)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Realizing that I was increasingly unimpressed with him, he made a move. He suggested that we get to know each other better by going to a rock-climbing gym(意识到我对他越来越不感兴趣，他采取了行动。他建议我们去攀岩健身房更好地了解彼此)”可知，Matthew邀请作者去攀岩，是为了让作者更好地了解他。故选B项。 (4)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第四段中“But, she said that she hadn’t liked me at first. She thought I seemed “too positive”. It was only after knowing me for several years that she realized that was in fact how I was.(不过她说，起初她并不喜欢我，觉得我看起来“过于乐观”。直到相识数年后，她才意识到那其实是我的本性)”可知，直到相识数年后，这个女人才意识到“过于乐观”其实是作者的本性，说明一开始她认为作者只是表面上乐观，作者表现得并不真诚。故选C项。 (5)题解析： 主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第一段中“However, it’s not impossible to change how others view you.(然而，改变别人对你的看法并不是不可能的)”和最后一段中“But while first impressions are likely to stick, they can — with time and effort — be changed, so that your true talents can be appreciated.(但是，虽然第一印象可能会持续下去，但随着时间的推移和努力，它们是可以被改变的，这样你真正的才能才能得到赏识)”可知，本文主要论述了第一印象可能会持续下去，但随着时间的推移和努力是可以被改变的。故D项“First impressions can be changed(第一印象是可以改变的)”能概括文章内容，是文章最佳标题。故选D项。 主题语境02 人与自然-自然生态 （25-26高二上·天津双菱中学·期中）My wife and I moved into our home nine years ago. We have a yard a “rock garden”. There the rocks appear to be just thrown up onto the dirt as if someone were in a hurry to finish. Very often when we have more flowers, Denise or I would plant them between the rocks, just to bring some color to the area. Last summer I found, in the rock garden, a tiny little plant that I could not immediately recognize. I knew I didn’t plant it and Denise said she didn’t either. We decided to let it continue growing until we could find out what it was. Weeks passed and as I made my way back to the strange plant, it appeared to be a sunflower. It looked thin and tall with only one head on it. I decided to baby it along and weed (除草) around it. As I pulled rocks from the area to get to the weeds, I noticed something unusual. The sunflower had not started where I saw it begin. It actually had begun under a big rock and grown under and around it to reach the sun. If a tiny little sunflower didn’t let a big rock stand in its way of developing, we too have the ability to do the same thing. If we believe in ourselves like that little sunflower, we can reach where we aim to go and get what we need for growth. We need to believe in ourselves knowing we have the ability to achieve our goals. Like the sunflower, it knew it had the ability to get over the rocks because it had faith in itself that it would succeed. Stand tall like the sunflower and be proud of who and what we are, then other things will begin to support us. We will find a way to go under or around any “rocks” in order to realize our goals. 1.The family planted flowers in the yard ________.

A 【解析】【导语】 这是一篇夹叙夹议文。本文作者叙述了自己偶然发现一株向日葵从岩石中顽强生长出来的过程，阐述了我们只要像向日葵那样，具备不畏艰难、顽强生长的精神，就一定能够克服困难，获得成功。 (1)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第一段“Very often when we have more flowers, Denise or I would plant them between the rocks, just to bring some color to the area (很多时候，当我们有更多的花，丹尼斯或我会把它们种在岩石之间，只是为了给这个地区带来一些颜色。)”可知，这家人在院子里面种花是为了给院子增添颜色，使院子更漂亮。因此，这家人在院子里种花是D项“to make the area colorful(使该区域多姿多彩)”符合题意，故选D项。 (2)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第二段“We decided to let it continue growing until we could find out what it was. (我们决定让它继续生长，直到我们发现它是什么)”可知，作者在岩石花园里发现了一株认不出来的小植物，他打算让它继续生长，为了看看它是什么植物。因此，作者让这株小植物继续生长是C项“to find out what it actually was(找出它到底是什么)”符合题意，故选C项。 (3)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第三段“As I pulled rocks from the area to get to the weeds, I noticed something unusual. The sunflower had not started where I saw it begin. It actually had begun under a big rock and grown under and around it to reach the sun. (向日葵并没有从我看到的地方开始生长。它实际上是在一块大岩石下开始生长的，在岩石下面和周围生长，直到到达太阳)”可知，向日葵实际上是在一块大岩石下开始生长的，其生命力很顽强，这是不寻常的。因此，作者认为向日葵是不寻常的，因为是D项“it began to grow under a rock (它开始在岩石下生长)”符合题意，故选D项。 (4)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第四段的“If a tiny little sunflower didn’t let a big rock stand in its way of developing, we too have the ability to do the same thing. If we believe in ourselves like that little sunflower, we can reach where we aim to go and get what we need for growth. (如果一颗小小的向日葵不让一块大石头阻挡它的发展，我们也有能力做同样的事情。如果我们像向日葵一样相信自己，我们就能达到我们的目标，获得我们成长所需的东西)”可知，作者认为，只要我们像向日葵那样，具备不畏艰难，顽强生长的精神，就一定能够克服困难，获得成功。因此，从这篇文章中我们可以得出结论是B项“we can get over difficulties if we trust ourselves(如果我们相信自己，我们就能克服困难)”符合题意，故选B项。 (5)题解析： 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是根据最后一段“Like the sunflower, it knew it had the ability to get over the rocks because it had faith in itself that it would succeed. Stand tall like the sunflower and be proud of who and what we are, then other things will begin to support us.(就像向日葵一样，它知道自己有能力越过岩石，因为它相信自己会成功。像向日葵一样昂首挺胸，为我们是谁和我们是什么感到骄傲，然后其他的东西就会开始支持我们)”可知，作者将向日葵拟人化，形象地阐述了只要我们像向日葵那样，具备不畏艰难，顽强生长的精神，就一定能够克服困难，获得成功。因此，这篇文章的最佳标题是A项“Stand Tall Like the Sunflower(像向日葵一样高高站立)”符合题意，故选A项。 / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
