(25-26高一上·江西鹰潭贵溪市第一中学·期中)Hello everyone! Meet my new friend Marco. He says Ciao! This means hello in his language. Marco travelled with me this month. When he showed me his country on the map, I was attracted by it. It looks like a high-heeled boot (高跟靴) in the Mediterranean Sea that’s kicking a strange-shaped ball. Can you find the name of this ball on the world map?
Marco told me that he loves cars and that his country is well-known for super-fast car brands. Isn’t it cool? The people also love soccer here. They call it “Calcio”. He told me that they have won many World Cups. As he explained it to me, his eyes lit up; you could hear the excitement and satisfaction in his voice.
We visited the country’s capital and I was amazed to find that it was more than 2,500 years old! We walked around and soon it was time for dinner. Marco told me that people there eat pasta (意式面食) at least once a day. Different sauces and toppings (酱汁和佐料) mean they never get bored of it. Also, they love including seasonal vegetables in their dinners. I couldn’t wait to enjoy the pizza and pasta with different toppings and sauces. The cappuccino and focaccia bread also made me happy. It’s no wonder that the world has adopted so much of their food! The people in this country celebrate many holidays and enjoy eating big meals with their family. The festive atmosphere makes everyone happy.
I was lucky to travel to this country in March and enjoy the Bologna Children’s Book Fair. Held for four days every year, it is the world’s leading trade show for children’s publishing. We also visited the Colosseum, Pantheon, and the Leaning Tower of Pisa, which was really wonderful! Before I said goodbye to Marco, I made a promise to visit again. Can you guess the name of this country?

Passage 1
(25-26高一上·江西莲花中学·期中)I was never very neat, while my roommate Kate was extremely organized. Each of her objects had its place, but mine always hid somewhere. She even labeled (贴标签) everything. I always looked for everything. Over time, Kate got neater and I got messier. She would push my dirty clothing over, and I would lay my books on her tidy desk. We both got tired of each other.
War broke out one evening. Kate came into the room. Soon, I heard her screaming, “Take your shoes away! Why under my bed!” Deafened, I saw my shoes flying at me. I jumped to my feet and started yelling. She yelled back louder.
The room was filled with anger. We could not have stayed together for a single minute but for a phone call. Kate answered it. From her end of the conversation, I could tell right away her grandma was seriously ill. When she hung up, she quickly crawled (爬) under her covers, sobbing. Obviously, that was something she should not go through alone. All of a sudden, a warm feeling of sympathy rose up in my heart.
Slowly, I collected the pencils, took back the books, made my bed, cleaned the socks and swept the floor, even on her side. I got so into my work that I even didn’t notice Kate had sat up. She was watching, her tears dried and her expression one of disbelief. Then, she reached out her hands to grasp mine. I looked up into her eyes. She smiled at me, “Thanks. ”

Passage 2
(25-26高一上·江西省部分学校·期中)In a public park, a group of volunteers work together to cut back plants that are spreading onto the path, making it easier for the local community to enjoy this space. They take a tea break, talking and laughing before picking up their gardening tools and getting back to work. They work with communities across England, Northern Ireland, and Scotland, bringing people together to create, improve, and care for green spaces.
Volunteer Judith has been part of the group. “I just wanted to be outside and do something practical and useful to make a difference,” she says. In the past, she spent a lot of time walking, and discovered lots of green spaces in her local area. She wanted to continue spending time outdoors, as well as doing something physically (身体上) active. She used to be anxious all the time, and found that time in nature supported her well-being. During the volunteering, she says, “We’re in nature, among birds, flowers and trees. It’s just great. We learn how to use a number of tools and try different jobs.”
A lot of people come to volunteer for a certain purpose, but they end up finding other good outcomes. They come because they want to help protect their local green space or their local environment, but in the end, they get all the social advantages, like getting confidence in themselves because they’ve been in that social situation and know what they do could make the world better.
Volunteering acts as a driving force that has encouraged more people to take part in this kind of work. “When we’re working, we get stopped by people, and they talk to us,” says Judith, believing that their volunteering work helps get local people to communicate with each other, in turn strengthening those community bonds (纽带).
1.Why do the volunteers work in the public park?
A. To teach gardening knowledge.
B. To organize outdoor events for locals.
C. To make the park path more users-friendly.
D. To collect ideas of improving the environment.
2.Which word can best describe Judith’s volunteering?
A. Challenging. B. Fruitful. C. Meaningless. D. Competitive.
3.What do many volunteers discover?
A. Community should always come first.
B. Volunteering calls for great teamwork.
C. Being confident is the first step to success.
D. Volunteering does them more good than expected.
4.How does the volunteer work influence the local community?
A. It introduces jobs to some park users.
B. It makes locals more interested in gardening.
C. It improves communication and connects locals.
D. It leads to an increase in the number of private gardens.
【答案】1. C 2. B 3. D 4. C

细节理解题。根据第一段中“In a public park, a group of volunteers work together to cut back plants that are spreading onto the path, making it easier for the local community to enjoy this space. (在一个公共公园里,一群志愿者一起修剪蔓延到小路上的植物,让当地社区更容易享受这片空间)”可知,志愿者们在公共公园工作是为了让当地社区更容易享受这片空间,让公园小路更方便人们使用。故选C项。
(2)题解析:
推理判断题。根据第二段中Judith所说的话“I just wanted to be outside and do something practical and useful to make a difference (我只是想走出家门,做些实实在在的事情,创造些积极的变化)”和“She used to be anxious all the time, and found that time in nature supported her well-being. During the volunteering, she says, “We’re in nature, among birds, flowers and trees. It’s just great. We learn how to use a number of tools and try different jobs.”(她曾长期被焦虑困扰,发现亲近自然能有效疗愈身心。谈到志愿服务时,她表示:“我们置身于自然之中,与飞鸟、鲜花和绿树为伴。这种感觉美妙极了。在这里我们学会了使用各种工具,体验了不同类型的工作。”)”可推知,Judith的志愿活动带来了积极的变化,让她学会了使用各种工具,体验了不同类型的工作,所以是成果丰硕的,富有成效的。故选B项。
(3)题解析:
细节理解题。根据第三段“A lot of people come to volunteer for a certain purpose, but they end up finding other good outcomes. They come because they want to help protect their local green space or their local environment, but in the end, they get all the social advantages, like getting confidence in themselves because they’ve been in that social situation and know what they do could make the world better.(许多人带着守护本地绿地或保护环境的初衷投身志愿服务,最终却收获了更多社会性回报——他们在公益场景中重塑自信,因意识到自身行动能让世界更美好而获得精神成长)”可知,许多志愿者发现志愿活动给他们带来的好处比预期的要多。故选D项。
(4)题解析:
细节理解题。根据最后一段中““When we’re working, we get stopped by people, and they talk to us,” says Judith, believing that their volunteering work helps get local people to communicate with each other, in turn strengthening those community bonds (纽带).(朱迪思表示:“我们在劳作时,常有路人驻足交流。”她坚信这样的志愿服务能促进邻里互动,进而增强社区凝聚力)”可知,志愿工作不仅增进了邻里交流,更紧密了社区居民的联结。故选C项。

Passage 1
(25-26高一上·江西鹰潭贵溪市第一中学·期中)In Jingdezhen, there’s a street-food stall that has become the talk of the town. The stall is run by Li Junyong, who sells delicious fried chicken cutlets. However, people flock to his stall not just for the tasty food. They come because his stall operates under some really clever and unique rules. Everyone affectionately calls him “Chicken Cutlet Bro”, and he has gained fame for his kind heart and smart business ideas.
The most notable rule is designed for students. Every afternoon at 4:30, Mr. Li stops serving other customers and reserves that time exclusively for students from the nearby school. Why does he do this? He says he has made a promise to the students to always have a warm snack ready for them when their classes end. He believes that the students’ happiness is of great importance, so other patrons have to wait.
Mr. Li also aims to be highly efficient. To save time, he has a signature phrase that all his customers know well. Politely, he always says, “Please open your plastic bag.” This simple request helps him pack the chicken cutlets more quickly, so the hungry students don’t have to wait for too long. It’s a small rule, but it makes a significant difference. And he even has an amusing rule regarding quality. If a chicken cutlet isn’t cooked to perfection, he gives it to the customer for free. He wants every customer to get the best — tasting food from his stall.
These special rules make buying chicken cutlets from Mr. Li a fun and pleasant experience. Customers feel that they get more than just food; they also receive a smile and excellent service. His kind and clever rules have turned his small stall into the most popular spot in the town.

Almost a “walking encyclopedia” of Chengdu, Sandoval covered every corner of Chengdu and recorded Chengduese and their lives with his camera, listening to the sound of mahjong being played and music from traditional stringed instruments.
He also goes from place to place with his heavy travel kit. The various culture and vast, beautiful land has kept him in China much longer than he had planned in the beginning. He remembers a wide range of adventures like exploring a local vineyard and local wine in Yinchuan City, a riding performance by a Mongolian ethnic group in the Shuidonggou Horse Riding Show, and then the totally different experience of visiting the Hainan Free Trade Port in the south.

Passage 3
(25-26高一上·江西丰城第九中学·期中)Year-12 student Noah Little has already sat his first Chinese-speaking exam and said it was “the easiest exam I’ve ever done”. That view is not surprising given the Wagga High School student loves language — so much so he has built a Chinese translation app.
Noah said his love of language was encouraged by his community. “Wagga is a place full of people from different cultures, and sometimes when I meet new people who have trouble speaking English I like to talk to them in their own language,” he said. “I also have a few Chinese friends so I think it will be cool to talk to them in their language.”
The 17-year-old started teaching himself Chinese around five years ago, before taking distance education classes at the start of Year 11. His language ability was also useful in his part-time job at a local Chinese restaurant, where he translated orders for the cooks and customers.
Noah said he also had a basic knowledge of seven other languages. It was while teaching himself languages that Noah got the idea of the translation tool. “I decided to make my own app because there weren’t many around — all the other apps were full of advertisements (广告) and the translation feature (功能) wasn’t powerful enough,” he said.
His app also includes a word of the day feature, lessons on how to write Chinese characters (汉字) and a news feed of important Chinese news.
He said learning computer programming (编程) to build the app had been like studying another language. With the end of school around the corner, Noah said he would like to pursue (追求) both his interests in computer programming and languages. “I’m planning to work for a year and save so I can go on to university as I really want to make a career (事业) out of one of these two topics.”
1.What do we know about Noah?
A. He began to learn Chinese at 11.
B. He failed his first Chinese exam.
C. He likes teaching Chinese to people.
D. He gets a lot from learning Chinese.
2.What are included in Noah’s app?
A. Advertisements.
B. Pieces of world news.
C. Suggestions for memorizing words.
D. Ways of writing Chinese characters.
3.What has Noah decided to do shortly after high school graduation?
A. Look for a job.
B. Attend university.
C. Develop a new app.
D. Learn more languages.
4.Which of the following can best describe Noah?
A. Humorous and honest.
B. Curious and creative.
C. Courageous and caring.
D. Outgoing and kind.
【答案】1. D 2. D 3. A 4. B

推理判断题。根据第一段中“That view is not surprising given the Wagga High School student loves language — so much so he has built a Chinese translation app. (这种观点并不奇怪,因为这位Wagga高中的学生热爱语言,以至于他开发了一款中文翻译应用。)”可知,Noah从热爱语言走到自主开发应用程序,这体现了其创造力;根据第三段中“The 17-year-old started teaching himself Chinese around five years ago, before taking distance education classes at the start of Year 11. (这位17岁的少年大约在五年前开始自学中文,然后在11年级开始上远程教育课程。)”和第四段中“Noah said he also had a basic knowledge of seven other languages. (Noah说他还掌握了其他七种语言的基本知识。)”可知,Noah自学中文,并掌握多门语言,这体现了他旺盛的好奇心。故选B项。

Passage 1
(25-26高一上·江西师范大学附属中学·期中)On my way back home I was stopped at a traffic light by some people who asked for help. A woman—in her attempt to give way to an ambulance—had driven her car over stony obstacles that separated the bike line from the street, and had gotten her car stuck as a result. She couldn't move the car in any direction without damaging it. A couple of people tried to lift the car back but the obstacles were too high. Seeing that they couldn't do much about it, they left and the woman in the car tried to call for some service.
While watching the other people leave, I realized the woman would be on her own and I imagined how uncomfortable that would be if I were in her shoes. After some talking, she understood what my purpose was and invited me to sit inside her car. She called for service and was told that it would take about 45 minutes for someone to get there.
I wasn't in a hurry, so I informed my partner about the situation and that I would be later and then tried to comfort the woman who seemed to feel stressed about causing others trouble. But actually it wasn't too much trouble since they could still pass, and also there wasn't anything she could do about it anyway. We laughed and joked that all we needed was some tea for our picnic.
Finally assistance came and helped her back on the street. She thanked me and asked for my phone number so she could return the favor, but I told her it was okay. She seemed to feel much better when we said our goodbyes. I believe that not having to face a difficult situation alone can make a difference.
1.What happened to the woman when she avoided an ambulance?
A. Her car hit stony obstacles.
B. Her car got stuck in the street.
C. Her car hit a couple of people.
D. Her car turned over in the street.
2.Why did a couple of people leave without lifting the car back?
A. The woman was unwilling to pay them.
B. The woman was afraid to damage her car.
C. They couldn't move the car because of the high obstacles.
D. They couldn't leave things as they were until the police arrived.

Passage 2
(25-26高一上·江西省部分学校·期中)18-year-old Wang Yilin is a college student from Yunnan who is now studying e-commerce (电子商务) in Shanghai. She came to the mountains of Yuanyang county hoping to use digital (数码的) tools to help sell farm products. Although transport has improved and modern farming tools are widely used, she found the situation was more difficult than she expected.
“While people in cities often use smartphones, many villages are mostly home to older people who are not familiar with digital technology,” Wang said. “My family comes from a farming background. I think using my knowledge to help local people is very meaningful.”
Wang believes agricultural e-commerce has great potential, especially through short video platforms. These allow farmers to show their products directly to buyers. “They create new sales channels and help farmers learn about the market, which can reduce waste,” she explained.
Wang is one of more than 1,800 students and teachers from her university taking part in the “Thousand-Village Survey” program. This year, the students visited Yuanyang, which is famous for its ancient rice terraces (梯田). They are over 1,300 years old and form a special farming system that includes forests, villages, and water. They grow crops like red rice, which is good for both nature and the local economy. The team talked with farmers and used surveys to learn about their problems. They found that while some local products sell well, many farmers are earning less money.
The program is not only about study. Students also joined cultural activities, learning about local farming ways and traditional crafts. The program is mainly to make students go from the classroom to the countryside, helping them truly understand rural life. For Wang, this experience has helped shape her future plans. “I’m now thinking about solutions that can involve the whole village,” she said. “This fieldwork has helped me understand what rural communities really need and how study can help solve real-life problems.”
1.What is the main problem in the villages?
A. There’re not many local people.
B. There’re bad transportation systems.
C. There’re not enough modern farming tools.
D. There’re few old people good at digital tools.
2.What does Wang think of agricultural e-commerce?
A. It costs a lot.
B. It is easy to do.
C. It has a bright future.
D. It improves her knowledge.
3.What is the main goal of the “Thousand-Village Survey” program?
A. To help villagers reduce waste.
B. To connect school learning with real life.
C. To help students get jobs later.
D. To bring more tourists to rural areas.
4.What is the text mainly about?
A. A good way to sell farm products.
B. An example of protecting old rice fields.
C. A student trying to help farmers become famous.
D. A student program connecting cities and countryside.
【答案】1. D 2. C 3. B 4. D

(25-26高一上·江西鹰潭贵溪市第一中学·期中)This Spring Festival, Ren Jun’s family chose to travel instead of having a traditional family reunion. They went to northwest China to see ancient Buddhist caves, temples, and a very old tomb in the desert. “Our daughter loves the culture there, so we took this long break to explore,” Ren said.
More and more Chinese people are doing the same, using the holiday to visit places rich in history. Data from travel platforms (平台) indicate that air bookings to cities such as Datong and Quanzhou have doubled since January 1, and by the second day of the holiday, tickets to Beijing’s Palace Museum had sold out, and there were very few left for the Terracotta Army in Xi’an.
People now want to learn more while they travel. Ren’s group had a guide named Xing Yaolong, who is an expert on Dunhuang. He said that people are willing to pay more to see special places like the Mogao Grottoes. New travel agencies like “The Seekers” are offering in-depth tours to places like Shanxi and Yunnan.
Wang Lei, a professor at Beijing Normal University, said, “As incomes rise, people seek to enrich their spirits. Retirees are a big part of this trend.”
Many travellers are also choosing to visit smaller, older towns instead of big tourist spots. A traveller named Daodao shared about a lantern festival in Zhanqi Village on the Internet. “The night is lit up with colorful fish-shaped lanterns, and everyone is dancing to folk music,” Daodao wrote, “To keep this 800-year-old tradition alive, locals are teaching others how to make lanterns and sharing event schedules online.”
For people who stay at home, the Spring Festival Gala on TV showed many cultural traditions and got 16.8 billion views. One viewer wrote, “This is amazing! I want to visit Wuxi and Chongqing now.” Another added, “We need to know where we come from to know where we’re going.”
1.How does the author lead in the topic in the first paragraph?
A. By giving an example.
B. By explaining an idea.
C. By showing numbers.
D. By referring to an expert.
2.What do the data from travel platforms show?
A. The ups and downs of air tickets.
B. The growth of online shopping.
C. The rise of tourism.
D. The change of how people get around.
3.What did Daodao do during this Spring Festival?
A. He had a family get-together.

(25-26高一上·江西南昌市外国语学校·期中)Year of Giving
Yesterday I started the Year of Giving, my first day of a year-long journey into exploring the act of giving and the meaning of charity. I chose December IS as the starting date, which marked three years since my mother died from heart disease. She was one of the most generous people that I have ever known. She always thought of others first and certainly serves as an inspiration to me.
I had a rattier busy day yesterday, ironic (具有讽刺意义的) for someone who is unemployed right now. In the morning I went to the gym, and unsuccessfully got the phone call from the unemployment office for some job searching. Before I knew it, it was noon. I grabbed a quick lunch and rushed down to a meeting. On my way to Connecticut, I wondered if I would see someone that I would feel forced to give my first $10 to. I was running late and decided to do it afterwards.
After the meeting I had about half an hour to find the first person of my Year of Giving! I decided to check out Dupont Circle. I had met a guy there named Jerry once and thought he would willingly accept my first 10?” He asked me to repeat what I had said. I did, then he looked at me funny, got up and left
I then started walking south where I spotted a man standing by the bus stop on Connecticut Ave. He appeared to be in his 60s. I don’t know what drew me to him, but I thought I would make my second attempt. I was a bit nervous and asked him which bus came by that stop. Then I explained that I was starting a year-long project to give 10 for today to him. The gentleman, I later found out that his name was Ed, responded without hesitation that he could not accept my offer and that there were many people more deserving the money than him. This was exactly one of the that I hoped would happen. People would think of others before themselves!
1.The author set the starting date on December 15 to ________ .
A. help the charity

Passage 1
(25-26高一上·江西崇仁县第一中学·期中)In the early days of motherhood, I felt lonely. I had left a good job to take care of my six-month-old son. Although I loved being with him, I missed talking to other adults and wanted to hear news from outside. I knew I needed to make friends with other mothers — but I didn’t know how.
I often took my son, Ethan, to the grocery store, which wasn’t a good place to make friends. He enjoyed smiling at people and looking at colorful displays, but I needed more. “We have to find something better to do,” I thought.
Then one day, my husband suggested going to the library. I loved reading but hadn’t had much time since Ethan was born. Maybe a good book could cheer me up.
While at the library, I discovered the children’s area. There was a schedule of activities for children, including a playgroup for babies and toddlers (学步的儿童). I wasn’t sure if I would know anyone, but I decided to give it a try.
The next week, Ethan and I went to the playgroup. I was nervous at first. Luckily, a friendly woman named Misty welcomed us. She introduced me to other moms, and we started talking about our children — their development, favorite foods, and sleep habits. I left feeling happy and hopeful about making new friends.
After that, Ethan and I seldom missed a playgroup. As he grew older, we joined more activities like “Tot Time” and “Story Time.” Later, when his younger sister and brother were born, our schedule became even busier. Together, we learned about gardening, met animals from the local zoo, and played educational games. Most importantly, we all made new friends.
I’m thankful for the moms I met at the library. We have similar backgrounds and children around the same age, so we can support and advise each other. When the children were younger, we met at different parks during summer. Now, we sometimes go out without the kids for dinner or shopping. We still join library activities together.
I’m still amazed how one small brave step changed my life so much. My advice is: don’t be afraid to talk to other moms. You can meet them at the park, church, school, or the library. You might just make lifelong friends.
1.Why did the author feel lonely at the beginning of the story?
A. She didn’t love her son.

Passage 2
(25-26高一上·江西吉安第一中学·期中)“I’m going to fail!” My best friend cried. She and I had this conversation almost every day while we were in high school.
The truth was that my friend never failed in any subjects. I just think that she can’t accept failures because she lives her life as a perfectionist (完美主义者). What she fails to understand is that a lot of good can come from failures.
For example, failure can help build relationships. Once I was cooking dinner for a friend, I was tired, and several dishes I tried to make turned out bad. I grew more and more upset until my friend told me that I shouldn’t worry. She cared more about our friendship than the dishes. That day, I learned that failure doesn’t always make people dislike you. In fact, after she said those words to me, I grew closer to her.
Failure can make success even more exciting. Every few years, there would be an important test in the PE class at our school. Students had to run a mile within eight minutes. I was never good at running, so I failed every time until the third year at school. Then I began working out regularly (定期锻炼), and yet still failed that year. A few days later, however, the teacher gave me and some other students another chance to run and I got a pass finally! You can’t imagine how excited I was after that. I felt the memory of the success was as sweet as honey, because I had to overcome failure to reach it.
Now it’s clear to see that failure can teach us good lessons. It’s not an end—it can be a beginning.
1.What do we know about the author’s best friend?
A. She often failed in her schoolwork.
B. She was afraid of failures in her study.
C. She disliked the bad dishes the author cooked.
D. She helped the author pass the PE running test.
2.What can we infer from the author’s cooking experience?
A. The author stopped cooking for friends after that.
B. Bad dishes always make people’s friendship worse.
C. The friend’s attitude made the author feel much better.
D. The author was good at cooking before that experience.
3.What does the underlined word “overcome” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A. Quickly give up.
B. Successfully deal with.
C. Patiently wait for.
D. Eagerly come up with.
4.What is the author’s purpose in writing this passage?
A. To show the bad effects of failures.
B. To introduce different kinds of failures.
C. To point out her best friends’ fear of failures.
D. To encourage the readers to face failures bravely.
【答案】1. B 2. C 3. B 4. D

(1)题解析:
细节理解题。根据第一段““I’m going to fail!” My best friend cried.

I just think that she can’t accept failures because she lives her life as a perfectionist (完美主义者). What she fails to understand is that a lot of good can come from failures.(事实是,我的朋友从来没有挂过科。我只是认为她不能接受失败,因为她以完美主义者的态度生活。她不明白的是,失败也能带来很多好处。)”可知,好友害怕学习失败。故选B项。
(2)题解析:
推理判断题。根据第三段“Once I was cooking dinner for a friend, I was tired, and several dishes I tried to make turned out bad. I grew more and more upset until my friend told me that I shouldn’t worry. She cared more about our friendship than the dishes. That day, I learned that failure doesn’t always make people dislike you. In fact, after she said those words to me, I grew closer to her.(有一次我为朋友做饭,我很累,我试着做了几道菜,结果做得很糟糕。我越来越难过,直到我的朋友告诉我不用担心。比起菜肴,她更在乎我们的友谊。那天,我明白了失败并不总是让人讨厌你。事实上,在她对我说了这些话之后,我和她更亲近了。)”可知,朋友的态度让作者感觉更好。故选C项。
(3)题解析:
词句猜测题。根据划线单词后的“to reach it”可知,要取得成功必须是战胜失败,所以,划线单词overcome的意义为“战胜”,与“successfully deal with”同义。故选B项。
(4)题解析:
推理判断题。根据全文内容,特别是第二段“What she fails to understand is that a lot of good can come from failures.(她不明白的是,失败也能带来很多好处。)”和最后一段“Now it’s clear to see that failure can teach us good lessons. It’s not an end—it can be a beginning.(现在很清楚地看到,失败可以给我们很好的教训。这不是一个结束,而是一个开始。)”可知,作者意在鼓励读者勇敢面对失败。 故选D项。
Passage 3
(25-26高一上·江西南昌第二中学·期中)Last spring, my neighbor Donna and I, both in our seventies, spent several hours in the glorious sunshine enjoying the new season. When it was time to sit down and relax, Donna pulled out her red metal chair from her garage, and I sat on an overturned plastic bucket. It was fun to catch up on the news that we had missed during the long winter indoors.
However, over the next few days, it turned out that we needed more than a chair and a bucket which were not quite comfortable. Donna decided we needed a bench. After ruling out unsuitable options from local stores, she found a perfect one online. The next day it arrived. Excitedly, she opened the box and started putting it together. We proudly highfived each other as the pieces joined up and the bench started to look like one. After a few minutes’ assistance from a neighbour, it was assembled. What’s more, it was ideal for two 70-somethings to carry on late afternoon chats.
Soon, the bench attracted other neighbors. One day, someone called out from the sidewalk, “What do you do on that bench?” Quick-thinking Donna shouted back, “It’s our ‘Thinking Bench’! We think about important things happening in our lives.” Then, the name gradually evolved — after one neighbor sat alone deep in thought, he declared it a “Decision-Making Bench”; another time, when Donna was caught napping, she insisted she was “meditating (冥想)”, adding yet another name.
Last fall, with the temperature falling, our outdoor days come to an end. We were faced with one dilemma — what to do about it in the winter? Well, we sat down and thought and meditated and decided to put it in Donna’s garage for the winter.
When I glimpsed it a few times over the next months, the bench sat lonely, holding empty flower pots, and some flat, old boxes. But now after a long winter, spring flowers are ready to bloom in the warm sunshine, and we neighbours are ready to welcome “The Bench” back into our lives.
1.Donna decided to replace the chair and bucket to ________.
A. lighten the carrying load
B. attract more neighbours
C. get better seating for conversations
D. adapt to warmer weather
2.How did the bench get its various names?
A. From items placed on it.
B. From seasonal discussions.
C. From Donna’s creative ideas.
D. From users’ activities on it.
3.Why are pots and boxes mentioned in the last paragraph?
A. To suggest the flowers would soon be planted.
B. To describe the bench’s practical use in winter.
C. To show the bench was not serving its purpose.
D. To explain why the bench needed winter storage.
4.What does “The Bench” represent by the end of the story?
A. A symbol of community bonds.
B. A marker of individual free time.
C. A reminder of the past summer.
D. A memory of a valued online order.
【答案】1. C 2. D 3. C 4. A

We think about important things happening in our lives.” Then, the name gradually evolved—after one neighbor sat alone deep in thought, he declared it a “Decision-Making Bench”; another time, when Donna was caught napping, she insisted she was “meditating”, adding yet another name.(很快,这张长椅吸引了其他邻居。有一天,有人从人行道上喊道:“你们在那张长椅上做什么?” 反应敏捷的唐娜大声回答:“这是我们的‘思考椅’!我们会思考生活中发生的重要事情。”后来,这个名字逐渐有了新的变化——有位邻居独自坐在上面陷入沉思后,称它为“决策椅”;还有一次,唐娜在上面打盹被发现,她坚称自己在“冥想”,又为长椅添了一个新名字)”可知,长椅的不同名字源于不同使用者在长椅上的不同行为活动。有人思考、有人做决定、有人打盹称冥想,名字随这些行为而产生。故选D。
(3)题解析:
细节理解题。根据末段首句“When I glimpsed it a few times over the next months, the bench sat lonely, holding empty flower pots, and some flat, old boxes.(在接下来的几个月里,我几次瞥见这张长椅,它孤零零地待在那里,上面放着空花盆和一些扁平的旧箱子)”可知,长椅冬日里沦为摆放杂物的工具,不再发挥其原本的作用。提及花盆和箱子,正是为了体现长椅此时未被用于原本的用途。故选C。
(4)题解析:
推理判断题。根据首段“Last spring, my neighbor Donna and I, both in our seventies, spent several hours in the glorious sunshine enjoying the new season. When it was time to sit down and relax, Donna pulled out her red metal chair from her garage, and I sat on an overturned plastic bucket. It was fun to catch up on the news that we had missed during the long winter indoors.(去年春天,我和邻居唐娜都已年过七旬,我们在明媚的阳光下待了好几个小时,惬意迎接这崭新的季节。到了坐下歇息的时候,唐娜从车库搬出她那把红色的金属椅子,我则坐在一个倒扣的塑料桶上。聊着我俩在漫长冬日里宅家错过的家长里短,这样的时光别提多惬意了)”、第三段内容“Soon, the bench attracted other neighbors. One day, someone called out from the sidewalk, “What do you do on that bench?” Quick-thinking Donna shouted back, “It’s our ‘Thinking Bench’! We think about important things happening in our lives.” Then, the name gradually evolved—after one neighbor sat alone deep in thought, he declared it a “Decision-Making Bench”; another time, when Donna was caught napping, she insisted she was “meditating”, adding yet another name.(很快,这张长椅吸引了其他邻居。有一天,有人从人行道上喊道:“你们在那张长椅上做什么?” 反应敏捷的唐娜大声回答:“这是我们的‘思考椅’!我们会思考生活中发生的重要事情。”后来,这个名字逐渐有了新的变化——有位邻居独自坐在上面陷入沉思后,称它为“决策椅”;还有一次,唐娜在上面打盹被发现,她坚称自己在“冥想”,又为长椅添了一个新名字)”以及末段末句“But now after a long winter, spring flowers are ready to bloom in the warm sunshine, and we neighbours are ready to welcome “The Bench” back into our lives.(但如今漫长的冬日已逝,春花即将在暖阳中绽放,我们这些邻居也准备好迎接 “这张长椅” 重新回到我们的生活中)”可推断,长椅最初是作者和唐娜的聊天座椅,随后吸引了其他邻居,被赋予多种充满生活气息的名字,成为邻里间互动的载体。冬日长椅被收进车库闲置,春日来临所有邻居都满心期待它的回归。因此,长椅串联起邻里间的交流与温情,成为邻里之间情感联结的纽带。故选A。
Passage 4
(25-26高一上·江西多校联考·期中)“Shí éí Nizhoni yinishye,” 19-year-old Nizhoni Tso says in a video online, pointing to the matching written words. “My name is Nizhoni.” She isn’t following the latest dance trend. Instead, she’s leading a language lesson. With a calm and steady voice, she teaches her followers how to introduce themselves in Navajo, a language that the United Nations has classified as endangered.
Nizhoni grew up in the Navajo Nation, hearing the language from her grandparents. But, like many in her generation, she didn’t speak it fluently. “I understood it, but I couldn’t form the sentences to talk back,” she remembers. “It felt like a part of me was missing, like I was holding a book I couldn’t read.”
That feeling led to Nizhoni’s decision to learn Navajo herself. And she decided to record the entire process online, hoping to find a way to push herself and maybe connect with others on the journey. Her first videos were nervous, showing her practicing basic words. However, the community response was immediate and huge. Her followers grew into the tens of thousands, from other Navajo youth to non-native people attracted by the language. Besides, comments poured in from elders, offering encouragement and sometimes gently correcting her pronunciation. This online classroom became her most powerful teacher.
Her work has also resulted in a movement. Dozens of other young Navajo people have started their own language-focused social media accounts, creating an online web of learners and teachers. This is important for a language that has fewer fluent speakers each year, as the elder generation passes away.
The influence goes beyond the online world. Nizhoni now volunteers to teach beginner classes at her local community center, where she has students of all ages. Her grandmother, who once spoke to a child who couldn’t fully answer back, now attends every class, smiling with pride. “To hear my granddaughter teach our language... it’s a comfort,” her grandmother says. “It mends a broken connection.”
1.What is the challenge faced by Navajo?
A. It is in danger of dying out.
B. It fails to attract young people.
C. It is difficult to pronounce correctly.
D. It is mainly spoken in traditional families.
2.Why did Nizhoni start posting videos online?
A. To become a social media star.
B. To promote the Navajo language.
C. To offer support to Navajo learners.
D. To encourage herself to stick to her decision.
3.How has Nizhoni’s work affected Navajo?
A. Navajo is no longer endangered.
B. The number of Navajo learners is on the rise.
C. Navajo gains worldwide popularity online.
D. More schools start adding Navajo to their curriculum.
4.What do the underlined words “mends a broken connection” in paragraph 5 refer to?
A. Repairing a family relationship.
B. Bridging a generational language gap.
C. Solving an Internet connectivity problem.
D. Connecting Navajo with other languages.

细节理解题。根据第三段“And she decided to record the entire process online, hoping to find a way to push herself and maybe connect with others on the journey. (她决定将整个学习过程记录在网上,希望能找到推动自己的方式,或许还能在这段旅程中与他人建立联系。)”可知,尼佐尼发布视频是为了鼓励自己坚持学习纳瓦霍语的决定。故选D项。
(3)题解析:
推理判断题。根据第四段“Dozens of other young Navajo people have started their own language-focused social media accounts, creating an online web of learners and teachers. (数十名其他纳瓦霍年轻人开设了自己的语言类社交媒体账号,形成了一个由学习者和教师组成的在线网络。)”可知,尼佐尼的行动让纳瓦霍语学习者数量不断增加。故选B项。
(4)题解析:
词句猜测题。根据第二段“Nizhoni grew up in the Navajo Nation, hearing the language from her grandparents. But, like many in her generation, she didn’t speak it fluently. “I understood it, but I couldn’t form the sentences to talk back,” she remembers. “It felt like a part of me was missing, like I was holding a book I couldn’t read.”(Nizhoni在纳瓦霍族长大,从祖父母那里听到这种语言。但是,和她这一代的许多人一样,她说得不流利。“我明白了,但我说不出话来回应,”她回忆道。“感觉就像我失去了一部分,就像我拿着一本我看不懂的书。”)”以及最后一段“The influence goes beyond the online world. Nizhoni now volunteers to teach beginner classes at her local community center, where she has students of all ages. Her grandmother, who once spoke to a child who couldn’t fully answer back, now attends every class, smiling with pride. “To hear my granddaughter teach our language... it’s a comfort,” her grandmother says. (这种影响超越了网络世界。Nizhoni现在自愿在当地社区中心教授初级课程,那里有各个年龄段的学生。她的祖母曾经和一个无法完全回答的孩子说话,现在她参加了每一节课,自豪地微笑着。“听我孙女教我们的语言……这是一种安慰,”她的祖母说)”可知,Nizhoni的祖母曾经因为孙女不会说纳瓦霍语而感到遗憾,现在孙女教纳瓦霍语,祖母感到欣慰,说明这修复了祖孙之间因语言不通而产生的隔阂,由此可推知,mends a broken connection指的是弥合代际语言鸿沟,让祖母和孙女能用纳瓦霍语相互交流了。故选B项。
主题语境05 人与自然-环境
(25-26高一上·江西景德镇一中·期中)The red-crowned crane (丹顶鹤) is a national first-class protected wildlife. However, due to environmental and ecological damage, the number of red-crowned cranes had been dangerously declining when Zhao Shiwei joined the Zhaoquan River Management Station in 1992. Artificial breeding of red-crowned cranes became an important part of Zhao’s work.
3 red-crowned crane birds hatched at the station through his artificial program in 1996. Despite tasting success, Zhao and his team encountered hardships the following year. In 1997, not a single red-crowned crane bird hatched. And in 1998, only one red-crowned crane chick hatched through artificial breeding, but it died soon after.
In 1999, the station rescued 7 injured red-crowned cranes from the wild, which brought a crucial ray of hope for the program. That drove Zhao and his colleagues to check temperature control devices, go through a huge amount of data, and seek advice from experts, hoping to achieve a breakthrough in artificial breeding. They tried every possible method, even consulting technicians from nearby chicken farms. Finally, the artificial breeding program improved a lot. Later, a record of 85 red-crowned crane birds hatched at the station through a combination of artificial and natural breeding methods. Over the past 30 years, Zhao has always been personally involved in the hatching process. “This part is the most crucial; there cannot be the slightest error,” he said.
Later, Zhao realized that with the number of artificially bred red-crowned cranes increasing, the bond between the cranes and humans was growing stronger. “But they are the spirits of nature and hence should return to nature.” Zhao said. Therefore, Zhao provided outdoor training to artificially bred red-crowned cranes in the reserve in order to increase the number of wild red-crowned cranes. Up to now, Zhao and his team have bred and released more than 200 red-crowned cranes after ensuring they will be able to survive in nature.
1.What does the author imply about the red-crowned cranes in the first two paragraphs?
A. They’re at risk of going extinct.
B. They top all other wildlife in value.
C. Their artificial breeding started in 1992.
D. Their number stopped declining in 1996.
2.What was the turning point in the artificial breeding program?
A. Raising sufficient funds.
B. Rescuing 7 wild cranes.
C. Hiring some wildlife experts.
D. Purchasing advanced devices.
3.Why did Zhao train cranes outdoors?
A. To give tourists chances to admire cranes.
B. To improve cranes’ survival skills in the wild.
C. To increase the number of artificially-bred cranes.
D. To strengthen the bond between cranes and humans.
4.What is Zhao Shiwei’s attitude towards his work of protecting red-crowned cranes over the 30 years?
A. Reluctant and doubtful.
B. Passionate and careful.
C. Pessimistic and indifferent.
D. Devoted and committed.
【答案】1. A 2. B 3. B 4. D

本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了赵世伟通过人工繁殖的方式拯救濒危野生动物丹顶鹤的故事。
(1)题解析:
推理判断题。根据第一段中“However, due to environmental and ecological damage, the number of red-crowned cranes had been dangerously declining when Zhao Shiwei joined the Zhaoquan River Management Station in 1992.(然而,由于环境和生态的破坏,1992年赵世伟加入赵泉河管理站时,丹顶鹤的数量已经危险地下降了)”和第二段中“Despite tasting success, Zhao and his team encountered hardships the following year. In 1997, not a single red-crowned crane bird hatched. And in 1998, only one red-crowned crane chick hatched through artificial breeding, but it died soon after.(尽管取得了初步的成功,但赵和他的团队在接下来的一年里却遭遇了重重困难。1997年,没有一只丹顶鹤孵化成功。而到了1998年,通过人工繁殖只孵化出了一只丹顶鹤雏鸟,但不久后它就夭折了)”可知,丹顶鹤数量的下降已经到了危险的地步,同时赵世伟的人工繁殖也面临困难,由此可推断出,作者在前两段暗示丹顶鹤面临灭绝的危险。故选A。
(2)题解析:
细节理解题。根据第三段中“In 1999, the station rescued 7 injured red-crowned cranes from the wild, which brought a crucial ray of hope for the program.(1999年,该机构从野外救回了7只受伤的丹顶鹤,这为该项目带来了至关重要的希望之光)”可知,人工繁殖计划的转折点是救出了7只野生丹顶鹤。故选B。
(3)题解析:
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Later, Zhao realized that with the number of artificially bred red-crowned cranes increasing, the bond between the cranes and humans was growing stronger. “But they are the spirits of nature and hence should return to nature.” Zhao said. Therefore, Zhao provided outdoor training to artificially bred red-crowned cranes in the reserve in order to increase the number of wild red-crowned cranes.(后来,赵意识到随着人工繁育的丹顶鹤数量的增加,丹顶鹤与人类之间的联系也在日益紧密。“但它们是大自然的精灵,因此应该回归自然。”赵说。因此,赵在保护区为人工繁育的丹顶鹤提供了户外训练,以增加野生丹顶鹤的数量)”可知,赵世伟意识到丹顶鹤应该回归自然。由此推知,在户外训练丹顶鹤是为了提高它们在野外的生存技能,以增加野生丹顶鹤的数量。故选B。
(4)题解析:
推理判断题。根据第三段“Over the past 30 years, Zhao has always been personally involved in the hatching process. “This part is the most crucial; there cannot be the slightest error,” he said.(在过去的30年里,赵世伟一直亲自参与孵化过程。“这部分是最关键的,容不得半点差错,”他说)”以及最后一段“Up to now, Zhao and his team have bred and released more than 200 red-crowned cranes after ensuring they will be able to survive in nature.(截至目前,赵和他的团队已经培育并放飞了超过200只丹顶鹤,他们确保这些丹顶鹤能够在自然环境中生存下来)”可知,赵世伟在过去的30年里,对于保护丹顶鹤这一工作是投入的且尽责的态度。故选D。
主题语境01 人与社会-历史、社会与文化
(25-26高一上·江西景德镇一中·期中)One of my bad habits is saying “busy” when people ask me how I’m doing. Sometimes it’s because I actually am busy, but other times it’s because that’s what I think I’m supposed to say. That’s what important people say. That’s what people who get promoted say. But working long hours doesn’t drive better results. Never taking a vacation won’t lead to a promotion. So why are we so proud to talk about how busy we are all the time?
In 2016, researchers from Columbia, Harvard, and Georgetown conducted a study to figure it out. They found busy people are perceived to be of high status, and interestingly, these status attributions are heavily influenced by our own beliefs about social mobility. In other words, the more we believe that one has the opportunity for success based on hard work, the more we tend to think that people who skip leisure and work all the time are of higher standing.
That’s why we feel like we have to appear busy, and there’s a real perception that if someone is knee-deep in meetings, emails, and stress, then they’re probably a big deal. This culture of busyness is making it hard for employees to find work-life balance. According to a recent study, one in five highly engaged employees is at risk of burnout.
Personally, I’m going to stop saying “busy” when people ask me how I am. It sounds self-righteous (自以为是的) and sets the wrong tone. Phrases like “I have limited access to email” and “I’ll respond as soon as I get back” sound like you’re being held against your will from working as opposed to making the most of your time off.
By rejecting the myth that business equals worth, we free ourselves and others from exhaustion. True success isn’t about working harder; it’s about working smarter and finding balance. Let’s redefine what it means to be productive — and start valuing rest as much as effort.
1.How does the author introduce the topic in the first paragraph?
A. By quoting famous people.
B. By presenting statistical data.
C. By comparing different opinions.
D. By introducing personal experience.
2.Why do we tend to think that busy people are of high status?
A. Our status can be attributed to our social mobility.
B. We hold the belief that hard work leads to success.
C. Our own opportunity for success never comes easily.
D. We find few people of high status have time for leisure.
3.What does the underlined phrase “knee-deep in” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Bored with.
B. Worried about.
C. Fully involved in.
D. Very interested in.
4.What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage?
A. To advise employees on how to achieve work-life balance.
B. To share his personal experience of overcoming a bad habit.
C. To introduce a study on people’s attitude towards busyness.
D. To argue against the culture of equating busyness with worth.

推理判断题。根据第一段“One of my bad habits is saying “busy” when people ask me how I’m doing. Sometimes it’s because I actually am busy, but other times it’s because that’s what I think I’m supposed to say. That’s what important people say.(我的一个坏习惯是当别人问我过得怎么样时,我总是说“忙”。有时是因为我真的很忙,但其他时候是因为我觉得我应该这么说。)”可知,作者在第一段中通过介绍个人经历来引入话题。故选D。
(2)题解析:
细节理解题。根据第二段“They found busy people are perceived to be of high status, and interestingly, these status attributions are heavily influenced by our own beliefs about social mobility. In other words, the more we believe that one has the opportunity for success based on hard work, the more we tend to think that people who skip leisure and work all the time are of higher standing.(他们发现忙碌的人被认为地位很高,有趣的是,这些地位归因在很大程度上受到我们自己对社会流动性的看法的影响。换句话说,我们越相信一个人有机会通过努力工作取得成功,我们就越倾向于认为那些放弃休闲、一直工作的人地位更高。)”可知,我们倾向于认为忙碌的人地位很高是因为我们相信努力工作会带来成功。故选B。
(3)题解析:
词句猜测题。根据上文“That’s why we feel like we have to appear busy(这就是为什么我们总觉得自己必须表现得很忙)”和下文“This culture of busyness is making it hard for employees to find work-life balance.(这种“忙碌文化”让员工很难找到工作与生活的平衡点。)”可知,人们确实普遍认为,要是有人深陷会议、邮件和压力之中,那他很可能是个重要人物。由此可知,knee-deep in意思是“深陷于”,选项C“Fully involved in”意思是“完全参与其中”,符合语境。故选C。
(4)题解析:
推理判断题。根据最后一段“By rejecting the myth that business equals worth, we free ourselves and others from exhaustion. True success isn’t about working harder; it’s about working smarter and finding balance. Let’s redefine what it means to be productive — and start valuing rest as much as effort.(通过拒绝“忙碌等于价值”这一谬论,我们使自己和他人从疲惫中解脱出来。真正的成功不在于更努力地工作,而在于更聪明地工作并找到平衡。让我们重新定义什么是高效——并开始像重视努力一样重视休息。)”可知,作者写这篇文章的目的是反对将忙碌等同于价值的文化。故选D。

(25-26高一上·江西景德镇·期中)This year’s Wimbledon tennis tournament (锦标赛) brought the usual mix of sunshine and rain. One major difference, however, was the absence of human line judges (裁判) for the first time in 147 years.
All 300 line judges were replaced by the Hawk-Eye electronic line-calling (ELC) system. It was powered by high-speed cameras and supported by about 80 on-court assistants.
This change was promoted as a big step forward. However, it quickly raised heated debate. For example, Russian player Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova had to replay a point she had clearly won, because Hawk-Eye failed to register that a ball had landed out.
The new system promised more accuracy, but that didn’t automatically make it feel fair. People don’t just want the right decision; they want to know how it was made. When human judges made mistakes, they were visible and could be argued. A machine’s mistake, however, is a confusing “black box” with no one to question, which leads to frustration.
Meanwhile, sports are not just about accuracy. They are entertainment. They thrive on emotion and tradition. For 147 years, line judges were part of Wimbledon’s identity. Their uniforms, gestures and even the drama of a close call added to the atmosphere.
The problem at Wimbledon was not the technology itself but the way it was introduced. Hawk-Eye functioned well, but the tournament — and especially the players and fans — were not prepared. The same pattern is happening with AI and other new systems, such as customer service bots. These systems are often introduced too quickly without enough testing. When they produce unfair or unpredictable results, there is often no clear way to appeal (申诉) , and no one takes responsibility.
The key questions are: Who decides? Who benefits? Who is responsible when things go wrong? Without clear answers, new technologies don’t solve problems — they create new ones. If we want technology to improve life, we can’t just replace people with machines. We need to rethink and redesign the institutions these systems are meant to serve, making use of the potential that new technology can offer.
1.What took the place of human line judges at this year’s Wimbledon?
A. 80 on-court assistants.
B. High-speed cameras alone.
C. The Hawk-Eye ELC system.
D. A specially-designed tennis ball.
2.What can we infer from Paragraph 4?
A. Human judges are easy to argue with.
B. People can’t question the machine’s errors.
C. The machine’s mistake is hidden in a black box.
D. The machine will automatically record its mistakes.
3.Why is “customer service bots” mentioned in Paragraph 6?
A. To express they are more reliable than the Hawk-Eye system.
B. To explain they have the same function as the Hawk-Eye system.
C. To prove new technologies will cause problems once they are used.
D. To show the improper introduction of new systems is a common issue.
4.Which of the following statements would the author probably agree with?
A. Sports are more than going after accuracy.
B. Technology should be banned from sports.
C. Problems caused by the machine are unavoidable.
D. Wimbledon’s human line judge tradition is outdated.

Passage 1
(25-26高一上·江西南昌东湖区南昌中学·期中)When I was six, a new family moved into the house next door. There was a girl, Frances, who was about my age. We became best friends soon. I was too young to notice what was really going on in her life, but my mother did.
Mom noticed that Frances never invited anyone into the rooms they lived in. Her mother went off to work very early in the morning and came back looking very tired. And her two older brothers wore dirty clothes and were never at home. Frances was always hungry, and her clothes were often too small.
Mom never mentioned anything to me. But she once asked, “Would you mind if I give Frances some of your clothes?” I agreed. Frances seemed very thrilled.
Mom began to spend more time with Frances and me. She and I had always done kitchen jobs together, but now the three of us were making biscuits and washing up together. Frances was always willing to help, as long as Mom was there. Sometimes they would just sit together and talk while I was off doing something else.
That routine (常规事务) continued until we were both teenagers. But then her mother decided they were moving back to Ireland. We promised to write to each other.
One day, my mom called to say that a letter from Frances had arrived. “When I was four, my father died. My mother tried to make money. She ignored me. Your mom saved me. Without her love and attention, I would never have survived my childhood. I have used your mother’s example as my guide to care for people around me.”
My mother taught me many things, but this was her most valuable lesson. Watching her example and seeing the life-changing results were powerful. We will never know how or when our acts of kindness will influence others, but it’s always better to try.
1.What do we know about Frances’ family from Paragraph 2?
A. They were unhappy to come to a new place.
B. They tried hard to avoid their neighbors.
C. They cared little about each other.
D. They lived a very difficult life.

Passage 2
(25-26高一上·江西鹰潭余江区第一中学·期中)I’m making dinner in the kitchen when my 2-year-old shouts for more food. Then, I hear loud crying. My middle son has hit my oldest, and now both are calling for me in tears.
“What happened now?” I shout in a loud voice. “Come on, guys! I’m trying to cook dinner. Why can’t we just play nicely?”
I want to stay calm, but fail. I’m burning to shout at everyone for everything. Then, guilt (愧疚) hits me. They’re just kids. I ask them to talk and say sorry.
This was my daily life. Small things made me so angry. I shouted at my kids for normal mistakes. I knew it was wrong, but I didn’t know how to stop.
Luckily enough, my mum had told me about her recent experience of seeing a therapist (心理咨询师) to work through bad memories from her childhood and how she felt freer and better than she had ever been. I signed up to see the therapist. He helped me process my painful memories. The therapy showed me that my anger came from my past. When my kids misbehaved, I wasn’t just reacting to them — I was reacting to old wounds.
My therapist told me that I had to learn to notice when something in my body changed, like a pause in my breath, my hands shaking in the air. These signs warned me that I was about to lose control. I learned ways to stay calm, like rocking my feet against the floor or taking a deep breath.
Over time, I shout less. My kids laugh more. They’re more at ease and less scared that I’m going to go off on them. They seem more confident, too, and able to express their feelings.
I’m still learning. And that’s what parenthood is all about: improving over time and doing the best we can with what we’ve got.
1.How did the author react at first when hearing her kids crying before?
A. She felt a sense of guilt.
B. She got angry and shouted.
C. She punished her oldest kid.
D. She managed to stay calm.
2.Why did the author sign up to see the therapist?
A. Her kids asked her to follow the advice.
B. She could talk to her mother in person.
C. She badly needed a job to feed a family.
D. Her mother benefited from the therapy.
3.What does the author think of the therapy?
A. Creative. B. Workable. C. Expensive. D. Misleading.
4.What message does the author want to deliver in the last paragraph?
A. Parents must be strict with their children.

C. Parenthood is a journey of learning and improving.
D. Cooking meals is the most important task for parents.

Passage 1
(25-26高一上·江西莲花中学·期中)I was never very neat, while my roommate Kate was extremely organized. Each of her objects had its place, but mine always hid somewhere. She even labeled (贴标签) everything. I always looked for everything. Over time, Kate got neater and I got messier. She would push my dirty clothing over, and I would lay my books on her tidy desk. We both got tired of each other.
War broke out one evening. Kate came into the room. Soon, I heard her screaming, “Take your shoes away! Why under my bed!” Deafened, I saw my shoes flying at me. I jumped to my feet and started yelling. She yelled back louder.
The room was filled with anger. We could not have stayed together for a single minute but for a phone call. Kate answered it. From her end of the conversation, I could tell right away her grandma was seriously ill. When she hung up, she quickly crawled (爬) under her covers, sobbing. Obviously, that was something she should not go through alone. All of a sudden, a warm feeling of sympathy rose up in my heart.
Slowly, I collected the pencils, took back the books, made my bed, cleaned the socks and swept the floor, even on her side. I got so into my work that I even didn’t notice Kate had sat up. She was watching, her tears dried and her expression one of disbelief. Then, she reached out her hands to grasp mine. I looked up into her eyes. She smiled at me, “Thanks. ”

Passage 2
(25-26高一上·江西省部分学校·期中)In a public park, a group of volunteers work together to cut back plants that are spreading onto the path, making it easier for the local community to enjoy this space. They take a tea break, talking and laughing before picking up their gardening tools and getting back to work. They work with communities across England, Northern Ireland, and Scotland, bringing people together to create, improve, and care for green spaces.
Volunteer Judith has been part of the group. “I just wanted to be outside and do something practical and useful to make a difference,” she says. In the past, she spent a lot of time walking, and discovered lots of green spaces in her local area. She wanted to continue spending time outdoors, as well as doing something physically (身体上) active. She used to be anxious all the time, and found that time in nature supported her well-being. During the volunteering, she says, “We’re in nature, among birds, flowers and trees. It’s just great. We learn how to use a number of tools and try different jobs.”
A lot of people come to volunteer for a certain purpose, but they end up finding other good outcomes. They come because they want to help protect their local green space or their local environment, but in the end, they get all the social advantages, like getting confidence in themselves because they’ve been in that social situation and know what they do could make the world better.
Volunteering acts as a driving force that has encouraged more people to take part in this kind of work. “When we’re working, we get stopped by people, and they talk to us,” says Judith, believing that their volunteering work helps get local people to communicate with each other, in turn strengthening those community bonds (纽带).

Passage 1
(25-26高一上·江西鹰潭贵溪市第一中学·期中)In Jingdezhen, there’s a street-food stall that has become the talk of the town. The stall is run by Li Junyong, who sells delicious fried chicken cutlets. However, people flock to his stall not just for the tasty food. They come because his stall operates under some really clever and unique rules. Everyone affectionately calls him “Chicken Cutlet Bro”, and he has gained fame for his kind heart and smart business ideas.
The most notable rule is designed for students. Every afternoon at 4:30, Mr. Li stops serving other customers and reserves that time exclusively for students from the nearby school. Why does he do this? He says he has made a promise to the students to always have a warm snack ready for them when their classes end. He believes that the students’ happiness is of great importance, so other patrons have to wait.
Mr. Li also aims to be highly efficient. To save time, he has a signature phrase that all his customers know well. Politely, he always says, “Please open your plastic bag.” This simple request helps him pack the chicken cutlets more quickly, so the hungry students don’t have to wait for too long. It’s a small rule, but it makes a significant difference. And he even has an amusing rule regarding quality. If a chicken cutlet isn’t cooked to perfection, he gives it to the customer for free. He wants every customer to get the best — tasting food from his stall.
These special rules make buying chicken cutlets from Mr. Li a fun and pleasant experience. Customers feel that they get more than just food; they also receive a smile and excellent service. His kind and clever rules have turned his small stall into the most popular spot in the town.

Passage 3
(25-26高一上·江西丰城第九中学·期中)Year-12 student Noah Little has already sat his first Chinese-speaking exam and said it was “the easiest exam I’ve ever done”. That view is not surprising given the Wagga High School student loves language — so much so he has built a Chinese translation app.
Noah said his love of language was encouraged by his community. “Wagga is a place full of people from different cultures, and sometimes when I meet new people who have trouble speaking English I like to talk to them in their own language,” he said. “I also have a few Chinese friends so I think it will be cool to talk to them in their language.”
The 17-year-old started teaching himself Chinese around five years ago, before taking distance education classes at the start of Year 11. His language ability was also useful in his part-time job at a local Chinese restaurant, where he translated orders for the cooks and customers.
Noah said he also had a basic knowledge of seven other languages. It was while teaching himself languages that Noah got the idea of the translation tool. “I decided to make my own app because there weren’t many around — all the other apps were full of advertisements (广告) and the translation feature (功能) wasn’t powerful enough,” he said.
His app also includes a word of the day feature, lessons on how to write Chinese characters (汉字) and a news feed of important Chinese news.
He said learning computer programming (编程) to build the app had been like studying another language. With the end of school around the corner, Noah said he would like to pursue (追求) both his interests in computer programming and languages. “I’m planning to work for a year and save so I can go on to university as I really want to make a career (事业) out of one of these two topics.”
1.What do we know about Noah?
A. He began to learn Chinese at 11.
B. He failed his first Chinese exam.
C. He likes teaching Chinese to people.
D. He gets a lot from learning Chinese.
2.What are included in Noah’s app?
A. Advertisements.
B. Pieces of world news.
C. Suggestions for memorizing words.
D. Ways of writing Chinese characters.
3.What has Noah decided to do shortly after high school graduation?

B. Attend university.
C. Develop a new app.
D. Learn more languages.
4.Which of the following can best describe Noah?

Passage 1
(25-26高一上·江西师范大学附属中学·期中)On my way back home I was stopped at a traffic light by some people who asked for help. A woman—in her attempt to give way to an ambulance—had driven her car over stony obstacles that separated the bike line from the street, and had gotten her car stuck as a result. She couldn't move the car in any direction without damaging it. A couple of people tried to lift the car back but the obstacles were too high. Seeing that they couldn't do much about it, they left and the woman in the car tried to call for some service.
While watching the other people leave, I realized the woman would be on her own and I imagined how uncomfortable that would be if I were in her shoes. After some talking, she understood what my purpose was and invited me to sit inside her car. She called for service and was told that it would take about 45 minutes for someone to get there.
I wasn't in a hurry, so I informed my partner about the situation and that I would be later and then tried to comfort the woman who seemed to feel stressed about causing others trouble. But actually it wasn't too much trouble since they could still pass, and also there wasn't anything she could do about it anyway. We laughed and joked that all we needed was some tea for our picnic.
Finally assistance came and helped her back on the street. She thanked me and asked for my phone number so she could return the favor, but I told her it was okay. She seemed to feel much better when we said our goodbyes. I believe that not having to face a difficult situation alone can make a difference.

Passage 2
(25-26高一上·江西省部分学校·期中)18-year-old Wang Yilin is a college student from Yunnan who is now studying e-commerce (电子商务) in Shanghai. She came to the mountains of Yuanyang county hoping to use digital (数码的) tools to help sell farm products. Although transport has improved and modern farming tools are widely used, she found the situation was more difficult than she expected.
“While people in cities often use smartphones, many villages are mostly home to older people who are not familiar with digital technology,” Wang said. “My family comes from a farming background. I think using my knowledge to help local people is very meaningful.”
Wang believes agricultural e-commerce has great potential, especially through short video platforms. These allow farmers to show their products directly to buyers. “They create new sales channels and help farmers learn about the market, which can reduce waste,” she explained.
Wang is one of more than 1,800 students and teachers from her university taking part in the “Thousand-Village Survey” program. This year, the students visited Yuanyang, which is famous for its ancient rice terraces (梯田). They are over 1,300 years old and form a special farming system that includes forests, villages, and water. They grow crops like red rice, which is good for both nature and the local economy. The team talked with farmers and used surveys to learn about their problems. They found that while some local products sell well, many farmers are earning less money.
The program is not only about study. Students also joined cultural activities, learning about local farming ways and traditional crafts. The program is mainly to make students go from the classroom to the countryside, helping them truly understand rural life. For Wang, this experience has helped shape her future plans. “I’m now thinking about solutions that can involve the whole village,” she said. “This fieldwork has helped me understand what rural communities really need and how study can help solve real-life problems.”
1.What is the main problem in the villages?
A. There’re not many local people.
B. There’re bad transportation systems.
C. There’re not enough modern farming tools.
D. There’re few old people good at digital tools.
2.What does Wang think of agricultural e-commerce?
A. It costs a lot.
B. It is easy to do.
C. It has a bright future.
D. It improves her knowledge.
3.What is the main goal of the “Thousand-Village Survey” program?
A. To help villagers reduce waste.
B. To connect school learning with real life.
C. To help students get jobs later.
D. To bring more tourists to rural areas.
4.What is the text mainly about?
A. A good way to sell farm products.
B. An example of protecting old rice fields.
C. A student trying to help farmers become famous.
D. A student program connecting cities and countryside.

(25-26高一上·江西鹰潭贵溪市第一中学·期中)This Spring Festival, Ren Jun’s family chose to travel instead of having a traditional family reunion. They went to northwest China to see ancient Buddhist caves, temples, and a very old tomb in the desert. “Our daughter loves the culture there, so we took this long break to explore,” Ren said.
More and more Chinese people are doing the same, using the holiday to visit places rich in history. Data from travel platforms (平台) indicate that air bookings to cities such as Datong and Quanzhou have doubled since January 1, and by the second day of the holiday, tickets to Beijing’s Palace Museum had sold out, and there were very few left for the Terracotta Army in Xi’an.
People now want to learn more while they travel. Ren’s group had a guide named Xing Yaolong, who is an expert on Dunhuang. He said that people are willing to pay more to see special places like the Mogao Grottoes. New travel agencies like “The Seekers” are offering in-depth tours to places like Shanxi and Yunnan.
Wang Lei, a professor at Beijing Normal University, said, “As incomes rise, people seek to enrich their spirits. Retirees are a big part of this trend.”
Many travellers are also choosing to visit smaller, older towns instead of big tourist spots. A traveller named Daodao shared about a lantern festival in Zhanqi Village on the Internet. “The night is lit up with colorful fish-shaped lanterns, and everyone is dancing to folk music,” Daodao wrote, “To keep this 800-year-old tradition alive, locals are teaching others how to make lanterns and sharing event schedules online.”
For people who stay at home, the Spring Festival Gala on TV showed many cultural traditions and got 16.8 billion views. One viewer wrote, “This is amazing! I want to visit Wuxi and Chongqing now.” Another added, “We need to know where we come from to know where we’re going.”
1.How does the author lead in the topic in the first paragraph?
A. By giving an example.

(25-26高一上·江西南昌市外国语学校·期中)Year of Giving
Yesterday I started the Year of Giving, my first day of a year-long journey into exploring the act of giving and the meaning of charity. I chose December IS as the starting date, which marked three years since my mother died from heart disease. She was one of the most generous people that I have ever known. She always thought of others first and certainly serves as an inspiration to me.
I had a rattier busy day yesterday, ironic (具有讽刺意义的) for someone who is unemployed right now. In the morning I went to the gym, and unsuccessfully got the phone call from the unemployment office for some job searching. Before I knew it, it was noon. I grabbed a quick lunch and rushed down to a meeting. On my way to Connecticut, I wondered if I would see someone that I would feel forced to give my first $10 to. I was running late and decided to do it afterwards.
After the meeting I had about half an hour to find the first person of my Year of Giving! I decided to check out Dupont Circle. I had met a guy there named Jerry once and thought he would willingly accept my first 10?” He asked me to repeat what I had said. I did, then he looked at me funny, got up and left
I then started walking south where I spotted a man standing by the bus stop on Connecticut Ave. He appeared to be in his 60s. I don’t know what drew me to him, but I thought I would make my second attempt. I was a bit nervous and asked him which bus came by that stop. Then I explained that I was starting a year-long project to give 10 for today to him. The gentleman, I later found out that his name was Ed, responded without hesitation that he could not accept my offer and that there were many people more deserving the money than him. This was exactly one of the that I hoped would happen. People would think of others before themselves!
1.The author set the starting date on December 15 to ________ .
A. help the charity
B. make an exploration
C. remember his mother
D. fulfill the wish of his mum
2.In the author’s first attempt to give away the money, ________ .

C. he didn’t care about money
D. he wanted to get more money
4.We can infer that the author was inspired by ________ .

Passage 1
(25-26高一上·江西崇仁县第一中学·期中)In the early days of motherhood, I felt lonely. I had left a good job to take care of my six-month-old son. Although I loved being with him, I missed talking to other adults and wanted to hear news from outside. I knew I needed to make friends with other mothers — but I didn’t know how.
I often took my son, Ethan, to the grocery store, which wasn’t a good place to make friends. He enjoyed smiling at people and looking at colorful displays, but I needed more. “We have to find something better to do,” I thought.
Then one day, my husband suggested going to the library. I loved reading but hadn’t had much time since Ethan was born. Maybe a good book could cheer me up.
While at the library, I discovered the children’s area. There was a schedule of activities for children, including a playgroup for babies and toddlers (学步的儿童). I wasn’t sure if I would know anyone, but I decided to give it a try.
The next week, Ethan and I went to the playgroup. I was nervous at first. Luckily, a friendly woman named Misty welcomed us. She introduced me to other moms, and we started talking about our children — their development, favorite foods, and sleep habits. I left feeling happy and hopeful about making new friends.
After that, Ethan and I seldom missed a playgroup. As he grew older, we joined more activities like “Tot Time” and “Story Time.” Later, when his younger sister and brother were born, our schedule became even busier. Together, we learned about gardening, met animals from the local zoo, and played educational games. Most importantly, we all made new friends.
I’m thankful for the moms I met at the library. We have similar backgrounds and children around the same age, so we can support and advise each other. When the children were younger, we met at different parks during summer. Now, we sometimes go out without the kids for dinner or shopping. We still join library activities together.
I’m still amazed how one small brave step changed my life so much. My advice is: don’t be afraid to talk to other moms. You can meet them at the park, church, school, or the library. You might just make lifelong friends.

Passage 2
(25-26高一上·江西吉安第一中学·期中)“I’m going to fail!” My best friend cried. She and I had this conversation almost every day while we were in high school.
The truth was that my friend never failed in any subjects. I just think that she can’t accept failures because she lives her life as a perfectionist (完美主义者). What she fails to understand is that a lot of good can come from failures.
For example, failure can help build relationships. Once I was cooking dinner for a friend, I was tired, and several dishes I tried to make turned out bad. I grew more and more upset until my friend told me that I shouldn’t worry. She cared more about our friendship than the dishes. That day, I learned that failure doesn’t always make people dislike you. In fact, after she said those words to me, I grew closer to her.
Failure can make success even more exciting. Every few years, there would be an important test in the PE class at our school. Students had to run a mile within eight minutes. I was never good at running, so I failed every time until the third year at school. Then I began working out regularly (定期锻炼), and yet still failed that year. A few days later, however, the teacher gave me and some other students another chance to run and I got a pass finally! You can’t imagine how excited I was after that. I felt the memory of the success was as sweet as honey, because I had to overcome failure to reach it.
Now it’s clear to see that failure can teach us good lessons. It’s not an end—it can be a beginning.
1.What do we know about the author’s best friend?
A. She often failed in her schoolwork.
B. She was afraid of failures in her study.
C. She disliked the bad dishes the author cooked.
D. She helped the author pass the PE running test.

A. The author stopped cooking for friends after that.
B. Bad dishes always make people’s friendship worse.
C. The friend’s attitude made the author feel much better.
D. The author was good at cooking before that experience.
3.What does the underlined word “overcome” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A. Quickly give up.
B. Successfully deal with.

A. To show the bad effects of failures.
B. To introduce different kinds of failures.

Passage 3
(25-26高一上·江西南昌第二中学·期中)Last spring, my neighbor Donna and I, both in our seventies, spent several hours in the glorious sunshine enjoying the new season. When it was time to sit down and relax, Donna pulled out her red metal chair from her garage, and I sat on an overturned plastic bucket. It was fun to catch up on the news that we had missed during the long winter indoors.
However, over the next few days, it turned out that we needed more than a chair and a bucket which were not quite comfortable. Donna decided we needed a bench. After ruling out unsuitable options from local stores, she found a perfect one online. The next day it arrived. Excitedly, she opened the box and started putting it together. We proudly highfived each other as the pieces joined up and the bench started to look like one. After a few minutes’ assistance from a neighbour, it was assembled. What’s more, it was ideal for two 70-somethings to carry on late afternoon chats.
Soon, the bench attracted other neighbors. One day, someone called out from the sidewalk, “What do you do on that bench?” Quick-thinking Donna shouted back, “It’s our ‘Thinking Bench’! We think about important things happening in our lives.” Then, the name gradually evolved — after one neighbor sat alone deep in thought, he declared it a “Decision-Making Bench”; another time, when Donna was caught napping, she insisted she was “meditating (冥想)”, adding yet another name.
Last fall, with the temperature falling, our outdoor days come to an end. We were faced with one dilemma — what to do about it in the winter? Well, we sat down and thought and meditated and decided to put it in Donna’s garage for the winter.
When I glimpsed it a few times over the next months, the bench sat lonely, holding empty flower pots, and some flat, old boxes. But now after a long winter, spring flowers are ready to bloom in the warm sunshine, and we neighbours are ready to welcome “The Bench” back into our lives.
1.Donna decided to replace the chair and bucket to ________.
A. lighten the carrying load
B. attract more neighbours
C. get better seating for conversations
D. adapt to warmer weather
2.How did the bench get its various names?
A. From items placed on it.
B. From seasonal discussions.
C. From Donna’s creative ideas.
D. From users’ activities on it.
3.Why are pots and boxes mentioned in the last paragraph?
A. To suggest the flowers would soon be planted.
B. To describe the bench’s practical use in winter.
C. To show the bench was not serving its purpose.
D. To explain why the bench needed winter storage.
4.What does “The Bench” represent by the end of the story?
A. A symbol of community bonds.
B. A marker of individual free time.
C. A reminder of the past summer.
D. A memory of a valued online order.
Passage 4
(25-26高一上·江西多校联考·期中)“Shí éí Nizhoni yinishye,” 19-year-old Nizhoni Tso says in a video online, pointing to the matching written words. “My name is Nizhoni.” She isn’t following the latest dance trend. Instead, she’s leading a language lesson. With a calm and steady voice, she teaches her followers how to introduce themselves in Navajo, a language that the United Nations has classified as endangered.
Nizhoni grew up in the Navajo Nation, hearing the language from her grandparents. But, like many in her generation, she didn’t speak it fluently. “I understood it, but I couldn’t form the sentences to talk back,” she remembers. “It felt like a part of me was missing, like I was holding a book I couldn’t read.”
That feeling led to Nizhoni’s decision to learn Navajo herself. And she decided to record the entire process online, hoping to find a way to push herself and maybe connect with others on the journey. Her first videos were nervous, showing her practicing basic words. However, the community response was immediate and huge. Her followers grew into the tens of thousands, from other Navajo youth to non-native people attracted by the language. Besides, comments poured in from elders, offering encouragement and sometimes gently correcting her pronunciation. This online classroom became her most powerful teacher.
Her work has also resulted in a movement. Dozens of other young Navajo people have started their own language-focused social media accounts, creating an online web of learners and teachers. This is important for a language that has fewer fluent speakers each year, as the elder generation passes away.
The influence goes beyond the online world. Nizhoni now volunteers to teach beginner classes at her local community center, where she has students of all ages. Her grandmother, who once spoke to a child who couldn’t fully answer back, now attends every class, smiling with pride. “To hear my granddaughter teach our language... it’s a comfort,” her grandmother says. “It mends a broken connection.”
1.What is the challenge faced by Navajo?
A. It is in danger of dying out.
B. It fails to attract young people.
C. It is difficult to pronounce correctly.
D. It is mainly spoken in traditional families.
2.Why did Nizhoni start posting videos online?
A. To become a social media star.
B. To promote the Navajo language.
C. To offer support to Navajo learners.
D. To encourage herself to stick to her decision.
3.How has Nizhoni’s work affected Navajo?
A. Navajo is no longer endangered.
B. The number of Navajo learners is on the rise.
C. Navajo gains worldwide popularity online.
D. More schools start adding Navajo to their curriculum.
4.What do the underlined words “mends a broken connection” in paragraph 5 refer to?
A. Repairing a family relationship.
B. Bridging a generational language gap.
C. Solving an Internet connectivity problem.
D. Connecting Navajo with other languages.

(25-26高一上·江西景德镇一中·期中)The red-crowned crane (丹顶鹤) is a national first-class protected wildlife. However, due to environmental and ecological damage, the number of red-crowned cranes had been dangerously declining when Zhao Shiwei joined the Zhaoquan River Management Station in 1992. Artificial breeding of red-crowned cranes became an important part of Zhao’s work.
3 red-crowned crane birds hatched at the station through his artificial program in 1996. Despite tasting success, Zhao and his team encountered hardships the following year. In 1997, not a single red-crowned crane bird hatched. And in 1998, only one red-crowned crane chick hatched through artificial breeding, but it died soon after.
In 1999, the station rescued 7 injured red-crowned cranes from the wild, which brought a crucial ray of hope for the program. That drove Zhao and his colleagues to check temperature control devices, go through a huge amount of data, and seek advice from experts, hoping to achieve a breakthrough in artificial breeding. They tried every possible method, even consulting technicians from nearby chicken farms. Finally, the artificial breeding program improved a lot. Later, a record of 85 red-crowned crane birds hatched at the station through a combination of artificial and natural breeding methods. Over the past 30 years, Zhao has always been personally involved in the hatching process. “This part is the most crucial; there cannot be the slightest error,” he said.
Later, Zhao realized that with the number of artificially bred red-crowned cranes increasing, the bond between the cranes and humans was growing stronger. “But they are the spirits of nature and hence should return to nature.” Zhao said. Therefore, Zhao provided outdoor training to artificially bred red-crowned cranes in the reserve in order to increase the number of wild red-crowned cranes. Up to now, Zhao and his team have bred and released more than 200 red-crowned cranes after ensuring they will be able to survive in nature.
1.What does the author imply about the red-crowned cranes in the first two paragraphs?
A. They’re at risk of going extinct.
B. They top all other wildlife in value.
C. Their artificial breeding started in 1992.
D. Their number stopped declining in 1996.
2.What was the turning point in the artificial breeding program?
A. Raising sufficient funds.
B. Rescuing 7 wild cranes.
C. Hiring some wildlife experts.
D. Purchasing advanced devices.
3.Why did Zhao train cranes outdoors?
A. To give tourists chances to admire cranes.
B. To improve cranes’ survival skills in the wild.
C. To increase the number of artificially-bred cranes.
D. To strengthen the bond between cranes and humans.
4.What is Zhao Shiwei’s attitude towards his work of protecting red-crowned cranes over the 30 years?
A. Reluctant and doubtful.
B. Passionate and careful.
C. Pessimistic and indifferent.
D. Devoted and committed.

(25-26高一上·江西景德镇一中·期中)One of my bad habits is saying “busy” when people ask me how I’m doing. Sometimes it’s because I actually am busy, but other times it’s because that’s what I think I’m supposed to say. That’s what important people say. That’s what people who get promoted say. But working long hours doesn’t drive better results. Never taking a vacation won’t lead to a promotion. So why are we so proud to talk about how busy we are all the time?
In 2016, researchers from Columbia, Harvard, and Georgetown conducted a study to figure it out. They found busy people are perceived to be of high status, and interestingly, these status attributions are heavily influenced by our own beliefs about social mobility. In other words, the more we believe that one has the opportunity for success based on hard work, the more we tend to think that people who skip leisure and work all the time are of higher standing.
That’s why we feel like we have to appear busy, and there’s a real perception that if someone is knee-deep in meetings, emails, and stress, then they’re probably a big deal. This culture of busyness is making it hard for employees to find work-life balance. According to a recent study, one in five highly engaged employees is at risk of burnout.
Personally, I’m going to stop saying “busy” when people ask me how I am. It sounds self-righteous (自以为是的) and sets the wrong tone. Phrases like “I have limited access to email” and “I’ll respond as soon as I get back” sound like you’re being held against your will from working as opposed to making the most of your time off.
By rejecting the myth that business equals worth, we free ourselves and others from exhaustion. True success isn’t about working harder; it’s about working smarter and finding balance. Let’s redefine what it means to be productive — and start valuing rest as much as effort.
1.How does the author introduce the topic in the first paragraph?
A. By quoting famous people.
B. By presenting statistical data.
C. By comparing different opinions.
D. By introducing personal experience.
2.Why do we tend to think that busy people are of high status?
A. Our status can be attributed to our social mobility.
B. We hold the belief that hard work leads to success.
C. Our own opportunity for success never comes easily.
D. We find few people of high status have time for leisure.
3.What does the underlined phrase “knee-deep in” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Bored with.
B. Worried about.
C. Fully involved in.
D. Very interested in.
4.What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage?
A. To advise employees on how to achieve work-life balance.
B. To share his personal experience of overcoming a bad habit.
C. To introduce a study on people’s attitude towards busyness.
D. To argue against the culture of equating busyness with worth.
主题语境02 人与社会-科学与技术
(25-26高一上·江西景德镇·期中)This year’s Wimbledon tennis tournament (锦标赛) brought the usual mix of sunshine and rain. One major difference, however, was the absence of human line judges (裁判) for the first time in 147 years.
All 300 line judges were replaced by the Hawk-Eye electronic line-calling (ELC) system. It was powered by high-speed cameras and supported by about 80 on-court assistants.
This change was promoted as a big step forward. However, it quickly raised heated debate. For example, Russian player Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova had to replay a point she had clearly won, because Hawk-Eye failed to register that a ball had landed out.
The new system promised more accuracy, but that didn’t automatically make it feel fair. People don’t just want the right decision; they want to know how it was made. When human judges made mistakes, they were visible and could be argued. A machine’s mistake, however, is a confusing “black box” with no one to question, which leads to frustration.
Meanwhile, sports are not just about accuracy. They are entertainment. They thrive on emotion and tradition. For 147 years, line judges were part of Wimbledon’s identity. Their uniforms, gestures and even the drama of a close call added to the atmosphere.
The problem at Wimbledon was not the technology itself but the way it was introduced. Hawk-Eye functioned well, but the tournament — and especially the players and fans — were not prepared. The same pattern is happening with AI and other new systems, such as customer service bots. These systems are often introduced too quickly without enough testing. When they produce unfair or unpredictable results, there is often no clear way to appeal (申诉) , and no one takes responsibility.
The key questions are: Who decides? Who benefits? Who is responsible when things go wrong? Without clear answers, new technologies don’t solve problems — they create new ones. If we want technology to improve life, we can’t just replace people with machines. We need to rethink and redesign the institutions these systems are meant to serve, making use of the potential that new technology can offer.
1.What took the place of human line judges at this year’s Wimbledon?
A. 80 on-court assistants.
B. High-speed cameras alone.
C. The Hawk-Eye ELC system.
D. A specially-designed tennis ball.
2.What can we infer from Paragraph 4?
A. Human judges are easy to argue with.
B. People can’t question the machine’s errors.
C. The machine’s mistake is hidden in a black box.
D. The machine will automatically record its mistakes.
3.Why is “customer service bots” mentioned in Paragraph 6?
A. To express they are more reliable than the Hawk-Eye system.
B. To explain they have the same function as the Hawk-Eye system.
C. To prove new technologies will cause problems once they are used.
D. To show the improper introduction of new systems is a common issue.
4.Which of the following statements would the author probably agree with?
A. Sports are more than going after accuracy.
B. Technology should be banned from sports.
C. Problems caused by the machine are unavoidable.
D. Wimbledon’s human line judge tradition is outdated.

Passage 1
(25-26高一上·江西南昌东湖区南昌中学·期中)When I was six, a new family moved into the house next door. There was a girl, Frances, who was about my age. We became best friends soon. I was too young to notice what was really going on in her life, but my mother did.
Mom noticed that Frances never invited anyone into the rooms they lived in. Her mother went off to work very early in the morning and came back looking very tired. And her two older brothers wore dirty clothes and were never at home. Frances was always hungry, and her clothes were often too small.
Mom never mentioned anything to me. But she once asked, “Would you mind if I give Frances some of your clothes?” I agreed. Frances seemed very thrilled.
Mom began to spend more time with Frances and me. She and I had always done kitchen jobs together, but now the three of us were making biscuits and washing up together. Frances was always willing to help, as long as Mom was there. Sometimes they would just sit together and talk while I was off doing something else.
That routine (常规事务) continued until we were both teenagers. But then her mother decided they were moving back to Ireland. We promised to write to each other.
One day, my mom called to say that a letter from Frances had arrived. “When I was four, my father died. My mother tried to make money. She ignored me. Your mom saved me. Without her love and attention, I would never have survived my childhood. I have used your mother’s example as my guide to care for people around me.”
My mother taught me many things, but this was her most valuable lesson. Watching her example and seeing the life-changing results were powerful. We will never know how or when our acts of kindness will influence others, but it’s always better to try.
1.What do we know about Frances’ family from Paragraph 2?
A. They were unhappy to come to a new place.
B. They tried hard to avoid their neighbors.
C. They cared little about each other.
D. They lived a very difficult life.
2.What does the underlined word “thrilled” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. Proud. B. Annoyed. C. Excited. D. Confident.
3.What does the author try to show through the fourth paragraph?
A. Frances was a good helper.
B. Frances was used to the routine.
C. Frances got on well with the author’s mom.
D. Frances was good at doing kitchen jobs.
4.What can be the best title for the text?
A. Teaching by example
B. Lifelong friends
C. My mom’s life
D. Being brave to try
Passage 2
(25-26高一上·江西鹰潭余江区第一中学·期中)I’m making dinner in the kitchen when my 2-year-old shouts for more food. Then, I hear loud crying. My middle son has hit my oldest, and now both are calling for me in tears.
“What happened now?” I shout in a loud voice. “Come on, guys! I’m trying to cook dinner. Why can’t we just play nicely?”
I want to stay calm, but fail. I’m burning to shout at everyone for everything. Then, guilt (愧疚) hits me. They’re just kids. I ask them to talk and say sorry.
This was my daily life. Small things made me so angry. I shouted at my kids for normal mistakes. I knew it was wrong, but I didn’t know how to stop.
Luckily enough, my mum had told me about her recent experience of seeing a therapist (心理咨询师) to work through bad memories from her childhood and how she felt freer and better than she had ever been. I signed up to see the therapist. He helped me process my painful memories. The therapy showed me that my anger came from my past. When my kids misbehaved, I wasn’t just reacting to them — I was reacting to old wounds.
My therapist told me that I had to learn to notice when something in my body changed, like a pause in my breath, my hands shaking in the air. These signs warned me that I was about to lose control. I learned ways to stay calm, like rocking my feet against the floor or taking a deep breath.
Over time, I shout less. My kids laugh more. They’re more at ease and less scared that I’m going to go off on them. They seem more confident, too, and able to express their feelings.
I’m still learning. And that’s what parenthood is all about: improving over time and doing the best we can with what we’ve got.
1.How did the author react at first when hearing her kids crying before?
A. She felt a sense of guilt.
B. She got angry and shouted.
C. She punished her oldest kid.
D. She managed to stay calm.
2.Why did the author sign up to see the therapist?
A. Her kids asked her to follow the advice.
B. She could talk to her mother in person.
C. She badly needed a job to feed a family.
D. Her mother benefited from the therapy.
3.What does the author think of the therapy?
A. Creative. B. Workable. C. Expensive. D. Misleading.
4.What message does the author want to deliver in the last paragraph?
A. Parents must be strict with their children.
B. Teaching kids to act well is parents’ calling.
C. Parenthood is a journey of learning and improving.
D. Cooking meals is the most important task for parents.
