His videos have drawn much praise. “He’s exactly what I imagined a swordsman would be like in the old times,” one audience commented. In these videos, Liu acted like a hero of Chinese martial arts fictions, sometimes rowing on bamboo raft, sometimes wandering by the lake and sometimes leading a horse. All the short videos are produced in Liu’s spare time. Snow mountains, grasslands, forests and lakes — Ganzi, as part of the Silk Road and the Ancient Tea Horse Road, shows great natural beauty and also the cultural combination between Han and Tibetan ethnic cultures. After graduating from college, Liu chose to return to work in his hometown of Yajiang county, where he became director of the tourism bureau in 2002. In order to promote tourism in his hometown, he began taking pictures of his hometown and sent brochures to travel agencies. He has led villagers to build roads and personally received nearly 20,000 tourists. In 2019, Liu was appointed as director of the Culture, Radio, Television and Tourism Administration in Ganzi, and continued to innovate the forms of cultural tourism promotion. In 2021, the total number of tourists received by Ganzi exceeded 35 million and the tourism income exceeded 39 billion yuan. “I love my hometown. I wanted to do more for it while people still appreciate my videos online. That was my original intention,” he said. “The internet has introduced us to the outside world, and it has brought the outside world to us,” he said. “Many people visit Ganzi, and the villagers not only increase their income and improve their quality of life, but also meet friends from all over the world and broaden their horizons.” “Welcome to Ganzi and learn more about it. I will wait for you in Ganzi!” Liu Hong said. 1.What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 2 mean? A. The audience thinks highly of Liu’s acting. B. Mr. Liu should star in Chinese kung fu plays. C. Mr. Liu sets a good example to the audience. D. The audience wants to be a hero of Chinese martial arts himself. 2.What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about? A. Liu Hong’s original intention. B. Liu Hong’s work experience. C. Liu Hong’s contributions to tourism income. D. Liu Hong’s fight for attracting more visitors. 3.Which of the following words can best describe Liu Hong? A. Patient and generous. B. Warm-hearted and polite. C. Responsible and creative. D. Independent and positive. 4.In which part of a newspaper can we probably read this passage? A. Travel. B. History. C. Education. D. Business. 【答案】1. A　2. B　3. C　4. A 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇新闻报道，讲述了四川省甘孜州文化广播电视和旅游局局长刘洪，通过创新方式（如扮演武侠角色拍摄短视频）宣传家乡旅游资源，并成功推动当地旅游业发展的故事。文章展现了他对家乡的热爱、创新的宣传手法以及所取得的成就。 (1)题解析： 词句猜测题。根据划线句上文“His videos have drawn much praise.(他的视频获得了很多好评。)”以及下文中“In these videos, Liu acted like a hero of Chinese martial arts fictions, sometimes rowing on bamboo raft, sometimes wandering by the lake and sometimes leading a horse.(在这些视频中，刘洪就像中国武侠小说中的英雄一样，有时在竹筏上划船，有时在湖边徘徊，有时牵着马。)”可知，““He’s exactly what I imagined a swordsman would be like in the old times,” one audience commented.(一位观众评论道：“他完全就是我想象中古代剑客的样子”)”可知，刘洪扮成剑客拍摄的短视频获得赞誉，这位观众说刘洪的表演正是他所想象的古代侠客的样子，表明他对刘洪的表演非常认可。故选A。 (2)题解析： 主旨大意题。根据第四段内容“After graduating from college, Liu chose to return to work in his hometown of Yajiang county, where he became director of the tourism bureau in 2002. In order to promote tourism in his hometown, he began taking pictures of his hometown and sent brochures to travel agencies. He has led villagers to build roads and personally received nearly 20,000 tourists. In 2019, Liu was appointed as director of the Culture, Radio, Television and Tourism Administration in Ganzi, and continued to innovate the forms of cultural tourism promotion. In 2021, the total number of tourists received by Ganzi will exceed 35 million and the tourism income will exceed 39 billion yuan.(大学毕业后，刘洪选择回到家乡雅江县工作，2002年在当地担任旅游局局长。为了推广家乡的旅游业，他开始为家乡拍照，并向旅行社发放宣传册。他还带领村民修路，亲自接待了近2万名游客。2019年，刘洪被任命为甘孜州文化广播电视和旅游局局长，继续创新文旅推广形式。2021年，甘孜州接待游客总量突破3500万人次，旅游收入超过390亿元。)”可知，该段首先介绍了刘洪2002年任县旅游局局长及其工作，后面接着介绍了他于2019年任命为甘孜州文化广播电视和旅游局局长及其工作和成果。所以该段主要讲的是他的工作经历。故选B。 (3)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第一段“Liu Hong, director of the Culture, Radio, Television and Tourism Administration in Ganzi, dresses as a swordsman from Louis Cha’s novel The Smiling, Proud Wanderer, becoming a spokesman for the tourism resources of his hometown.(甘孜州文化广播电视和旅游局局长刘洪，装扮成金庸小说《笑傲江湖》中的剑客，成为了家乡旅游资源的代言人。)”以及第四段中“After graduating from college, Liu chose to return to work in his hometown of Yajiang county, where he became director of the tourism bureau in 2002. In order to promote tourism in his hometown, he began taking pictures of his hometown and sent brochures to travel agencies. He has led villagers to build roads and personally received nearly 20,000 tourists. In 2019, Liu was appointed as director of the Culture, Radio, Television and Tourism Administration in Ganzi, and continued to innovate the forms of cultural tourism promotion.(大学毕业后，刘洪选择回到家乡雅江县工作，2002年在当地担任旅游局局长。为了推广家乡的旅游业，他开始为家乡拍照，并向旅行社发放宣传册。他还带领村民修路，亲自接待了近2万名游客。2019年，刘洪被任命为甘孜州文化广播电视和旅游局局长，继续创新文旅推广形式。)”可知，刘洪大学毕业后选择回乡工作，担任旅游局长后积极为家乡做贡献（拍照宣传、发手册、带领村民修路、亲自接待大量游客），升任州局局长后继续创新推广方式，这些都体现了他对家乡发展的强烈责任感；而且他能想到用武侠英雄的形象拍摄成宣传视频，这种方式新颖独特且效果显著，说明他很有创意。故选C。 (4)题解析： 推理判断题。根据全文，尤其第一段“Liu Hong, director of the Culture, Radio, Television and Tourism Administration in Ganzi, dresses as a swordsman from Louis Cha’s novel The Smiling, Proud Wanderer, becoming a spokesman for the tourism resources of his hometown.(甘孜州文化广播电视和旅游局局长刘洪，装扮成金庸小说《笑傲江湖》中的剑客，成为了家乡旅游资源的代言人。)”可知，文章主要围绕甘孜州文化广播电视和旅游局局长刘洪通过创新方式推广家乡旅游资源、推广和宣传他的家乡甘孜的旅游资源、带动当地旅游业发展展开，因此，这篇文章最可能出现在报纸的旅游（Travel）版块。故选A。 主题语境02 人与社会-科学与技术 （25-26高二上·江西莲花中学·期中）In 2018, 12-year-old Damian Earley was walking his dog when he noticed garbage cans knocked over by the wind, spilling trash onto the streets of his Columbus neighborhood. Disturbed by the environmental damage, he was inspired to create The Garbage Lot, a heavy platform with a locking mechanism to keep trash cans upright (直立). His invention won the “Industry Innovator Award” at Ohio’s Invention Convention and later earned first place at the national level. Damian’s path as an inventor was shaped by his participation in the Ohio Invention League (the OIL), a nonprofit that provides free STEM education to K-12 students. Through hands-on invention competitions, he learned to “sell” his invention to judges. Writing and crafting his presentation helped sharpen his communication skills and practice entrepreneurship (创业), which are crucial for the future employment market where students will likely work in jobs that have not yet been created. Damian’s teachers, particularly Sarah Priebe, admired his strong work ethic. She recalled Damian’s exceptional oral presentation in eighth grade, “You can tell he put a lot of time and practice into it. Many gifted students don’t seem to need to work as hard to excel at school, but he is always engaged and ready.” Elena and Zavier, Damian’s siblings, followed in his footsteps, creating their own inventions and receiving awards. Elena, 14, developed a device to remove bad smells from washing machines, while 11-year-old Zavier invented a drone for people with limited mobility. Their father, Matt, shared that watching the invention process take place had changed how he addressed issues in his vinyl records (黑胶唱片) business. 1.What drove Damian to create The Garbage Lot? A. His attention to neighborhood safety. B. The mess caused by fallen trash cans. C. His interest in environmental science. D. The need for an invention competition. 2.How does the OIL program prepare students for future jobs? A. By providing paid STEM education. B. By creating jobs that haven’t existed. C. By promoting entrepreneurial thinking. D. By selling invention presentation skills. 3.What quality of Damian impressed his teachers? A. Commitment. B. Intelligence. C. Curiosity. D. Leadership. 4.What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. Damian’s siblings’ inventions are more practical than his. B. The invention process has influenced the whole family’s way of thinking. C. Damian’s father plans to apply his children’s inventions to his business. D. Damian’s siblings only followed his example for the sake of awards. 【答案】1. B　2. C　3. A　4. B 【解析】【导语】 这是一篇记叙文。本文讲述了12岁的Damian Earley因看到被风吹倒的垃圾桶而受到启发，发明了The Garbage Lot，并获得了奖项，他的发明过程也影响了他的家人和父亲的事业。 (1)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第一段“In 2018, 12-year-old Damian Earley was walking his dog when he noticed garbage cans knocked over by the wind, spilling trash onto the streets of his Columbus neighborhood. Disturbed by the environmental damage, he was inspired to create The Garbage Lot, a heavy platform with a locking mechanism to keep trash cans upright (直立).(2018年，12岁的Damian Earley在遛狗时，注意到垃圾桶被风吹倒，垃圾散落在哥伦布社区的街道上。他对这种环境破坏感到不安，于是受到启发，发明了The Garbage Lot，这是一个带有锁定装置的沉重平台，可以让垃圾桶保持直立。)”可知，是垃圾桶倒下造成的混乱促使Damian创造了The Garbage Lot。故选B。 (2)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第二段“Through hands-on invention competitions, he learned to “sell” his invention to judges. Writing and crafting his presentation helped sharpen his communication skills and practice entrepreneurship, which are crucial for the future employment market where students will likely work in jobs that have not yet been created.(通过亲自动手的发明竞赛，他学会了向评委“推销”自己的发明。撰写和制作演示文稿有助于提高他的沟通技巧和创业能力，这对于未来的就业市场至关重要，因为学生们可能会从事尚未创造的工作。)”可知，OIL项目通过促进创业思维让学生为未来的工作做好准备。故选C。 (3)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第三段“Damian’s teachers, particularly Sarah Priebe, admired his strong work ethic. She recalled Damian’s exceptional oral presentation in eighth grade, “You can tell he put a lot of time and practice into it. Many gifted students don’t seem to need to work as hard to excel at school, but he is always engaged and ready.”(Damian的老师，尤其是Sarah Priebe，很欣赏他强烈的工作道德。她回忆起Damian在八年级时的出色口头报告：“你可以看出他投入了大量的时间和练习。许多有天赋的学生似乎不需要那么努力就能在学校取得优异成绩，但他总是全神贯注，随时准备着。)”可知，Damian的努力和投入给他的老师留下了深刻印象。故选A。 (4)题解析： 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Elena and Zavier, Damian’s siblings, followed in his footsteps, creating their own inventions and receiving awards. Elena, 14, developed a device to remove bad smells from washing machines, while 11-year-old Zavier invented a drone for people with limited mobility. Their father, Matt, shared that watching the invention process take place had changed how he addressed issues in his vinyl records (黑胶唱片) business.(Damian的兄弟姐妹Elena和Zavier追随他的脚步，创造了自己的发明并获得了奖项。14岁的Elena发明了一种去除洗衣机异味的装置，而11岁的Zavier为行动不便的人发明了一种无人机。他们的父亲Matt分享说，观看发明过程改变了他处理黑胶唱片业务中问题的方式。)”可知，发明过程影响了整个家庭的思维方式。故选B。 主题语境03 人与自我-做人与做事 （25-26高二上·江西上饶蓝天教育集团·期中）When I was young, I had a dream.

For a very long time, people have worried that language standards are falling, yet this feared breakdown in communication has never actually happened. Language has always been and will remain a useful tool for communication. Those who warn about the decline of language often do not know its history. Their worries are usually not about a real decline, but are simply statements of personal preference for the way of speaking they are used to. The idea that language will get worse to the point where we can only communicate with simple sounds is unfounded. The clearest evidence for this is that people have been making the same warnings for hundreds of years. Many famous writers throughout history have moaned about falling standards. Yet, the very same periods produced some of the greatest works in English literature. And anxiety about standards is not unique to English. Speakers of every language in the world have, at some point, sighed for its future. The truth is that English, like all other languages, keeps changing. The feeling of decline is a false idea created by the speed of this change within our own short lifetimes. Because change often happens between generations, older speakers see the rules they grew up with being replaced by new ones. This can cause cognitive discomfort, which then turns into negative comments. We naturally look for intellectual reasons to explain our personal preferences. If we could live for centuries, we would see the bigger picture. Language change is not simply a sign of carelessness. It happens at all levels, from vocabulary to grammar. Over centuries, a language can be changed so much that it becomes unrecognizable. However, like a complex (复杂的) natural system, language often maintains a balance. Simplification in one area can lead to greater complexity in another. What stays the same is the main expressive power of the language. You can always say what needs to be said. 1.As for language decline, the author is ______. A. disapproving B. supportive C. confused D. indifferent 2.What does the phrase “moaned about” underlined in Paragraph 3 most probably mean? A. Expressed dissatisfaction with. B. Showed curiosity about. C. Carefully thought about. D. Paid no attention to. 3.It is implied in this passage that we should ______. A. accept personal differences in language B. stop worrying about language decline C. avoid using simplified language D. protect language from decline 4.What does the author mainly do in this passage? A. Address a problem. B. Make a comparison. C. Argue against a view. D. Present facts and information. 【答案】1. A　2. A　3. B　4. C 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇议论文。主要反驳“语言衰退”这一观点。 (1)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第一段“The fear that language is in decline (衰退) is like the story of the boy who cried wolf, with one key difference: the wolf never appears. For a very long time, people have worried that language standards are falling, yet this feared breakdown in communication has never actually happened.(对语言衰落的恐惧就像那个喊狼来了的男孩的故事，但有一个关键的区别：狼从来没有出现过。很长一段时间以来，人们一直担心语言水平正在下降，然而这种令人担忧的沟通障碍从未真正发生过)”可知，作者认为语言衰退从未真正发生过，所以对“语言衰退论”持反对态度。故选A项。 (2)题解析： 词句猜测题。根据下文“Yet, the very same periods produced some of the greatest works in English literature. And anxiety about standards is not unique to English. Speakers of every language in the world have, at some point, sighed for its future.(然而，就在同一时期，英国文学中出现了一些最伟大的作品。对标准的焦虑并不是英语独有的。世界上每一种语言的使用者都在某个时刻为其未来叹息)”可知，许多人都有对标准下降的焦虑，也就是不满意之意，推知moaned about应是“不满”之意，和A项意思相近。故选A项。 (3)题解析： 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“The truth is that English, like all other languages, keeps changing. The feeling of decline is a false idea created by the speed of this change within our own short lifetimes.(事实上，英语和所有其他语言一样，都在不断变化。衰落的感觉是一种错误的想法，是在我们短暂的一生中这种变化的速度所造成的)”以及最后一段“If we could live for centuries, we would see the bigger picture. Language change is not simply a sign of carelessness. It happens at all levels, from vocabulary to grammar. Over centuries, a language can be changed so much that it becomes unrecognizable. However, like a complex (复杂的) natural system, language often maintains a balance. Simplification in one area can lead to greater complexity in another. What stays the same is the main expressive power of the language. You can always say what needs to be said.(如果我们能活上几个世纪，我们就能看到更大的图景。语言的改变不仅仅是粗心大意的表现。它发生在各个层面，从词汇到语法。经过数个世纪的演变，一种语言可能会发生很大的变化，以至于变得无法辨认。然而，就像一个复杂的自然系统一样，语言往往保持着一种平衡。一个领域的简化可能导致另一个领域的更大复杂性。保持不变的是语言的主要表现力。该说什么就说什么)”可知，这篇文章暗示我们应该停止担心语言的衰退。故选B项。 (4)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第一段“The fear that language is in decline (衰退) is like the story of the boy who cried wolf, with one key difference: the wolf never appears. For a very long time, people have worried that language standards are falling, yet this feared breakdown in communication has never actually happened.(对语言衰落的恐惧就像那个喊狼来了的男孩的故事，但有一个关键的区别：狼从来没有出现过。很长一段时间以来，人们一直担心语言水平正在下降，然而这种令人担忧的沟通障碍从未真正发生过)”以及纵观全文可知，全文围绕批驳“语言正在衰退”这一错误观点展开，是在反驳一个观点。故选C项。 主题语境01 人与社会-历史、社会与文化 Passage 1 （25-26高二上·江西省部分学校联考·期中）Amina Hassan is a five-year-old girl from Arlaadi IDP (internally displaced people) camp on the outskirts of Dhusamareeb town in Galmudug state, Somalia.

She said, “I help other children like me receive an education and realize their full potential.” As Amina walks back to her home after a day spent at the center, she is filled with a sense of pride and determination. She knows that education is her key to a brighter future, and she is grateful for the opportunity to learn and grow during adversity (逆境). Amina’s story in the Arlaadi IDP camp is not just one of struggle, but also of resilience, hope, and the power of education to transform lives. The Arlaadi IDP temporary learning center has five teachers operating two classrooms, covering a total of 149 students. The United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund (UNICEF) provides the children with clean, safe drinking water, learning materials, and a monthly salary for the teachers, thanks to funding from the global partnership for education. 1.What led to Amina’s staying at Arlaadi IDP camp?

B 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了索马里流离失所女孩阿米娜在难民营坚持学习，展现韧性与希望，以及相关临时学习中心的情况。 (1)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Amina and her family left their home due to drought in 2021 and settled in the camp where they depend on humanitarian support.(2021年，由于干旱，阿米娜和家人离开了家园，定居在这个依赖人道主义援助的难民营。)”可知，干旱这一自然灾害导致阿米娜一家定居在阿拉阿迪国内流离失所者难民营。故选A项。 (2)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The center is a place where children like Amina can continue their education and dream of a better future. Amina loves going to school as it provides her with a sense of normalcy and hope.(这个中心是阿米娜这样的孩子能够继续接受教育、梦想更美好未来的地方。阿米娜喜欢上学，因为它给了她一种常态感和希望。)”可知，临时学习中心对阿米娜而言是充满希望的地方。故选C项。 (3)题解析： 词句猜测题。根据第三段中的“Amina’s favorite subject is mathematics, and she is adept at solving simple problems.(阿米娜最喜欢的科目是数学，她is adept at解决简单的问题。)”可知，“擅长解决简单问题”与“最喜欢数学”逻辑一致，因此“is adept at”意为“擅长”。故选D项。 (4)题解析： 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“The United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund (UNICEF) provides the children with clean, safe drinking water, learning materials, and a monthly salary for the teachers, thanks to funding from the global partnership for education.(得益于全球教育伙伴关系的资助，联合国儿童基金会（UNICEF）为孩子们提供清洁、安全的饮用水、学习用品，并为教师发放月薪。)”可知，临时学习中心的资金主要来自全球范围的支持。故选B项。 Passage 2 （25-26高二上·江西南昌第二中学·期中）When Mark Anthony Gonzales saw a police officer in need of assistance, every element of the moral code installed in him through his Brazilian jiu-jitsu (巴西柔术) training — morality, courage, benevolence (仁爱) — told him to stop his car and lend a hand, even though his wife, Rachel Ortiz, and his four kids were in the car. The suspect, a balding man of medium build, was running from a police officer in San Antonio, Texas. Gonzales slowed down. So did the man being chased — to avoid running into Gonzales’s minivan. That hesitation allowed the officer to catch up and take the suspect to the ground. But Gonzales quickly realized that the officer did not have control of the situation with the suspect struggling fiercely. Gonzales put his vehicle in park and jumped out, as did Ortiz. The first thing Gonzales did was identify himself and spell out his intention to make it two-on-one in the officer’s favor and not the other way around. Then, with the man on his back and the officer struggling to control the man’s upper body, Gonzales put his weight on the man’s legs. Seconds later, when the suspect rolled onto his stomach, Gonzales used techniques he’d learned in the gym: digging his knee into the suspect’s el bow and pulling the suspect’s head toward him to maintain control from the side. He then applied an underhook — a jiu-jitsu move where the hands are placed under the opponent’s arm to control the shoulder and upper body — and tugged until, after a few seconds, the suspect’s shoulder gave out. The officer clicked on the handcuffs and the threat was over. Gonzales had asked his wife to record everything to protect him just in case anything was called into question. But Ortiz posted the video on Facebook, where it attracted over 56 million views. Among those awed by the video was Brazilian jiu-jitsu instructor Rener Gracie, a fourth-degree black belt, who stated: “The combination of Gonzales’s technique and his calm communication with both the officer and suspect is the stuff of legends!” 1.Why did Gonzales stop his car? A. To protect his family. B. To uphold justice. C. To show his courage. D. To perform jiu-jitsu. 2.What did Gonzales do first when he came to the officer? A. He joined in the two-on-one fight. B. He persuaded the suspect to give in. C. He warned the policeman of danger. D. He declared his identity and intention. 3.Why did Gonzales ask Ortiz to shoot the video? A. To record his heroic deeds.

She did not know if she was going to make it and wanted to give up. She was tired of fighting and struggling. It seemed as one problem was solved, a new one arose. Her father, a cook, took her to the kitchen. He filled three pots with water and placed each on a high fire. Soon the pots came to a boil. In one he placed carrots, in the second he placed eggs, and in the last he placed ground coffee beans. He let them sit and boil, without saying a word. The daughter sucked her teeth and impatiently waited, wondering what he was doing. In about twenty minutes he turned off the burners. He fished the carrots out and placed them in a bowl. He pulled the eggs out and placed them in a bowl. Then he ladled the coffee out and placed it in a mug. Turning to her, he asked, “Darling, what do you see?” “Carrots, eggs, and coffee,” she replied. He brought her closer and asked her to feel the carrots. She did and noted that they were soft. He then asked her to take an egg and break it. After pulling off the shell, she observed the hard-boiled egg. Finally, he asked her to sip the coffee. She smiled, as she tasted its rich aroma (芳香). “What does it mean, father?” she humbly asked. He explained that each of them had faced the same adversity, boiling water, but each reacted differently. The carrot went in strong, and hard; but after being subjected to the boiling water, it became softened and weak. The egg had been fragile; its thin outer shell had protected its liquid interior; but after sitting through the boiling water, its inside became hardened. The ground coffee beans were unique, however, after they were in the boiling water, they had changed the water. “Which are you?” he asked his daughter. 1.What did the daughter complain to her father?

The room was decorated with an under-the-sea theme. Kennedy comes to this memory cafe twice a month since being diagnosed (诊断) with Alzheimer’s disease. Everyone here has a degree of memory loss or is a caregiver for someone with memory loss. Attendees colored on worksheets with an underwater theme. They drank coffee and had desserts. And a quick round of questions and answers gets everyone’s minds working. “We start out just like that, many of us cannot answer any of the questions, ” Kennedy said with a laugh. “We all have a good time going around,” he added. “You know, we all try to make it fun.” This memory cafe in Pennsylvania is one of 600 across the country. These gatherings for people with cognitive impairment (认知缺陷) and their caregivers are relatively cheap and easy to run — often the only expense is a small rental fee for the space. The memory cafes happen twice a month. They have given him purpose, Kennedy said, and help him cope with negative emotions around his diagnosis. “I came in and I was miserable,” Kennedy said. “I come in now and it’s like a family, an extended family. I get to meet them. I get to meet their partners. I get to meet their children. So, it's really nice.” More than six million people in the U. S. have been diagnosed with some form of dementia (痴呆) . The diagnosis can be burdensome on relationships, particularly with family members who are the primary caregivers. The inclusion of caregivers is what distinguishes memory cafes from other programs that serve people with cognitive impairment, like adult day care. Memory cafes don’t offer formal treatment or support. At a memory cafe, having fun together and being social is the support for both patients and their caregivers. 1.What is the atmosphere in the memory cafe like? A. Academic. B. Religious. C. Relaxing.

We are often told that it weakens our eyes light and productivity. I don’t buy into that mindset(心态) because we all have free will and can limit our technology intakes responsibly. However, one of the strongest bad effects of the technological age has been the downfall of reading books. Before we had phones, books were sources of entertainment. I know I’m not the only one who spent nights as a child with a flashlight hidden under my covers so that I could finish a book when I was supposed to be sleeping. I still remember one of my favorite novels was Great Expectations by Charles Dickens, from which I learned about the value of friendship. Reading a book often feels even more pleasant than watching a movie. We create our own worlds, pictures of the characters and views of the events described. Reading requires complete focus, so it pulls us out of our daily lives, our fears and our problems. Reading a book brings us into a state of peace and adventure, letting us dive into others’ worlds. Reading a book takes time and requires attentions, which is almost impossible in a world in which plenty of distractions(使人分心的事) exist at the mere opening of a phone lock screen. Many people even report feeling distracted by their phones while watching TV. If people are feeling distracted when watching TV shows, how can they focus on reading a novel, a task that requires complete attention? I was recently on vacation and found myself on an eight-hour plane ride with no Internet access. At first, this seemed unbearable, but then I remembered I had packed a book in my bag. I started the book, and within minutes, I was totally absorbed. I spent the rest of my journey reading it. I advise anyone wanting to rediscover the joys of reading, to simulate(模拟) the environment I was forced to enter into by getting on the airplane. Turn your phone off and find a quiet space. Pickup an old favorite book from childhood or a new one. Then, sit down and begin to create your own world. 1.What can we know about the author? A. She was into reading in her childhood. B. She suffered from sleeping problems. C. She prefers watching movies to reading books. D. She thinks technology is bad for her health. 2.What is Paragraph 3 mainly about? A. The decline of reading habits. B. The influence technology has on reading books. C. The benefits of reading books. D. The reasons why people are less likely to read books. 3.How did the author feel about reading a book on the plane? A. It drove her mad. B. It failed to bring her peace. C. It made her stay focused. D. It helped her fall asleep quickly. 4.What’s the author’s suggestion on reading? A. Reading a book aloud. B. Creating an undisturbed environment. C. Finding an electronic book. D. Practicing your attention and patience every day. 【答案】1. A　2. C　3. C　4.

Mum always placed a lot of emphasis on higher education and I was educated from a young age to enter university. Unfortunately for Mum, the thing that I had a special love for was cooking — not what she would have chosen for me. Knowing how hard restaurant work is, she wasn’t pleased with my idea. To keep my options open, I decided to apply for university but also cook throughout my studies with a part-time job. However, it wasn’t long before I found I was stuck in studying something not appealing to me, and this part-time work became my thing. I made the tough decision to quit my university major after graduation, switching to pursue a career in the kitchen. Although she wasn’t favorable with my choice, Mum has since been an incredible supporter. Soon, I fell back into old patterns working in kitchens but feeling unfulfilled. Then, social media changed everything. As an early user, I poured my creativity into the platform, discovering a talent for photography and storytelling. Soon, my audience grew to 200,000 followers. Recognizing the opportunity, I quit my job to pursue travel photography and social media full-time. I traveled 50 trips a year at my peak while expanding into consulting, public speaking, and project management. I created social media content, photography and campaign reports. As a pioneer in Australia’s influencer market, my services became highly sought-after. I established a travel account, teaching others to build careers in the industry, and launched an online photography course for beginners. Next year, I’ll lead my first photography tour in Zimbabwe, my partner’s homeland, combining my passions with conservation and community support. My journey has been challenging yet deeply fulfilling. Making money is no longer the main driver — instead, I seek meaningful experiences and opportunities to inspire others.

From a very young age, she knew she loved languages. In the fourth grade, she began learning French. Her love for languages continued into high school, where she began training to be a translator. Now she interprets and translates for people professionally. Alkashef has been a translator for 20 years. She’s a member of the American Translators Association board of directors and a certified Arabic-English translator, a certified court interpreter, and a conference interpreter. Though the jobs have similarities, translators work with written material while interpreters work with spoken language. Confidence is crucial to both jobs. Most interpreters and translators are freelancers (自由职业者), which means they’re not employed as staff for an organization or a company. Being a freelancer means doing a variety of work for a variety of clients. Alkashef enjoys this aspect of her job. “It’s always fun, because every week is different, and the topics are always different,” she says. “One day, you are translating a document about clean water, and the next day, you are in court, interpreting a case. The following day, you’re at a conference about international peace. You learn a lot, because you get to get in touch with so many different people.” Alkashef has interpreted at court cases and film festivals, and at political events with people such as presidents and kings. The work can be exciting and attractive, but also challenging and sad. “Interpreters speak in the first person,” Alkashef says. “When they say something sad or painful, their subconscious does not understand that it is somebody else’s story. So interpreters come home with this burden, and they have to do self-care to take care of their mental health.” Alkashef is most grateful that through her work, she’s able to help others. “It’s more than just the words. The interpreter brings an understanding of the cultures, of history, and of a lot of things,” she says. Her work has enriched her life in many ways, and she tries to impart what she learns to those around her. 1.What distinguishes translators from interpreters according to the text? A. Their wage level. B. Their working time. C. The medium they use. D. The client type they serve. 2.Why does Alkashef enjoy being a freelancer? A. Because of stable income. B. Because of diverse tasks. C. Because of predictable routine. D. Because of fewer responsibilities. 3.What challenge do interpreters face mentally according to Alkashef? A. Emotional stress. B. Language barriers. C. Time management. D. Technical difficulties. 4.What is the author’s main purpose in writing the last paragraph? A. To compare Alkashef’s work with others’. B. To highlight the impact of Alkashef’s work. C. To present Alkashef’s ability to understand others. D. To emphasize the importance of words of gratitude. 【答案】1. C　2. B　3. A　4. B 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了埃及籍职业翻译兼口译员Yasmin Alkashef从事翻译职业的经历。 (1)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Though the jobs have similarities, translators work with written material while interpreters work with spoken language.(尽管这两份工作有相似之处，但笔译员处理书面材料，而口译员处理口语内容。)”可知，笔译员和口译员的区别在于他们使用的工作媒介不同。故选C项。 (2)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Alkashef enjoys this aspect of her job. ‘It’s always fun, because every week is different, and the topics are always different,’ she says.(Alkashef很喜欢这份工作的这一点。她说：‘这总是很有趣，因为每周都不一样，涉及的主题也各不相同。’)”可知，Alkashef喜欢做自由职业者是因为工作任务多样化。故选B项。 (3)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第五段中的“When they say something sad or painful, their subconscious does not understand that it is somebody else’s story. So interpreters come home with this burden, and they have to do self-care to take care of their mental health.(当他们说出悲伤或痛苦的内容时，他们的潜意识无法理解那是别人的经历。因此，口译员会带着这种负担回家，必须自我关怀以维护心理健康。)”可知，口译员面临的心理挑战是情感压力。故选A项。 (4)题解析： 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Alkashef is most grateful that through her work, she’s able to help others. ‘It’s more than just the words. The interpreter brings an understanding of the cultures, of history, and of a lot of things,’ she says.(Alkashef最感激的是，通过工作她能够帮助他人。她说：‘这不仅仅是语言转换。口译员还能带来对文化、历史以及诸多事物的理解。’)”可推知，作者写最后一段的主要目的是强调Alkashef工作的影响。故选B项。 主题语境03 人与自我-生活与学习 （25-26高二上·江西景德镇·期中）Holding my newborn baby, I looked at the nurses rushing around me. Little Lou was born with a heart problem and had surgery when he was just 48 hours old. The medical staff took my breath away with how hard they worked. Learning the special bed my baby lay on cost $55,000, I decided to raise that sum for the hospital. By the time Lou turned six months old, he experienced another critical surgery — an 18-hour marathon where the medical team refused to give up. Their skill and perseverance saved him. Though I could never fully express my thanks, I remained determined: I would find a way to raise those funds. During COVID-19, I took an online painting class. I’d always been creative and had worked as a visual designer. While I painted, all my worries disappeared. A mushroom I painted came out better than expected, so I kept at it. I wondered if I could start selling my art so I entered a national competition and was astonished to be a finalist. That competition opened many doors. Soon, I was being contacted by galleries to do solo exhibitions. In my spare time, I’d post my latest work on my newsletter and a buyer would quickly purchase it. I could barely keep up with demand. Every time I sold a painting, I donated money to the Children’s Hospital. Then one day, I was contacted by a woman called Emily, an aerospace engineer who was going to be the 100th woman to go to space. She floated the idea of taking one of my artworks into space. I created a painting for her. It’s about a child in a space suit being lifted by balloons to show Emily’s childhood dream of going to space. The balloons are slightly deflated (泄气的) to show how hard it was but that she never gave up. On November 22, 2024, Emily took my painting to space and helped me raise 55,000 mark yet but hope to do so soon. Lou, six, will need another heart operation eventually, but he’s currently thriving (茁壮成长). My art uses different shades to show we all have dark times, but if we keep going, we’ll see light again. 1.Why did the author raise money for the hospital? A. To repay its efforts. B. To upgrade its facilities. C. To fund research on heart problems. D. To improve children’s healthcare. 2.What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A. What made the author stand out. B. What COVID-19 brought to the author. C. How the author developed her painting skills. D. How the author’s journey to artistic success began. 3.The author detailed the painting in paragraph 3 to highlight ________. A. the painting’s popularity B. their shared determination C.

His videos have drawn much praise. “He’s exactly what I imagined a swordsman would be like in the old times,” one audience commented. In these videos, Liu acted like a hero of Chinese martial arts fictions, sometimes rowing on bamboo raft, sometimes wandering by the lake and sometimes leading a horse. All the short videos are produced in Liu’s spare time. Snow mountains, grasslands, forests and lakes — Ganzi, as part of the Silk Road and the Ancient Tea Horse Road, shows great natural beauty and also the cultural combination between Han and Tibetan ethnic cultures.

Disturbed by the environmental damage, he was inspired to create The Garbage Lot, a heavy platform with a locking mechanism to keep trash cans upright (直立). His invention won the “Industry Innovator Award” at Ohio’s Invention Convention and later earned first place at the national level. Damian’s path as an inventor was shaped by his participation in the Ohio Invention League (the OIL), a nonprofit that provides free STEM education to K-12 students. Through hands-on invention competitions, he learned to “sell” his invention to judges. Writing and crafting his presentation helped sharpen his communication skills and practice entrepreneurship (创业), which are crucial for the future employment market where students will likely work in jobs that have not yet been created. Damian’s teachers, particularly Sarah Priebe, admired his strong work ethic. She recalled Damian’s exceptional oral presentation in eighth grade, “You can tell he put a lot of time and practice into it. Many gifted students don’t seem to need to work as hard to excel at school, but he is always engaged and ready.” Elena and Zavier, Damian’s siblings, followed in his footsteps, creating their own inventions and receiving awards. Elena, 14, developed a device to remove bad smells from washing machines, while 11-year-old Zavier invented a drone for people with limited mobility. Their father, Matt, shared that watching the invention process take place had changed how he addressed issues in his vinyl records (黑胶唱片) business. 1.What drove Damian to create The Garbage Lot? A. His attention to neighborhood safety. B. The mess caused by fallen trash cans. C. His interest in environmental science. D. The need for an invention competition. 2.How does the OIL program prepare students for future jobs? A. By providing paid STEM education. B. By creating jobs that haven’t existed. C. By promoting entrepreneurial thinking. D. By selling invention presentation skills. 3.What quality of Damian impressed his teachers? A. Commitment. B. Intelligence. C. Curiosity. D. Leadership. 4.What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. Damian’s siblings’ inventions are more practical than his. B. The invention process has influenced the whole family’s way of thinking. C. Damian’s father plans to apply his children’s inventions to his business. D. Damian’s siblings only followed his example for the sake of awards. 主题语境03 人与自我-做人与做事 （25-26高二上·江西上饶蓝天教育集团·期中）When I was young, I had a dream. It was to become a policeman.

For a very long time, people have worried that language standards are falling, yet this feared breakdown in communication has never actually happened. Language has always been and will remain a useful tool for communication. Those who warn about the decline of language often do not know its history. Their worries are usually not about a real decline, but are simply statements of personal preference for the way of speaking they are used to. The idea that language will get worse to the point where we can only communicate with simple sounds is unfounded. The clearest evidence for this is that people have been making the same warnings for hundreds of years. Many famous writers throughout history have moaned about falling standards. Yet, the very same periods produced some of the greatest works in English literature. And anxiety about standards is not unique to English. Speakers of every language in the world have, at some point, sighed for its future. The truth is that English, like all other languages, keeps changing. The feeling of decline is a false idea created by the speed of this change within our own short lifetimes. Because change often happens between generations, older speakers see the rules they grew up with being replaced by new ones. This can cause cognitive discomfort, which then turns into negative comments. We naturally look for intellectual reasons to explain our personal preferences. If we could live for centuries, we would see the bigger picture. Language change is not simply a sign of carelessness. It happens at all levels, from vocabulary to grammar. Over centuries, a language can be changed so much that it becomes unrecognizable. However, like a complex (复杂的) natural system, language often maintains a balance. Simplification in one area can lead to greater complexity in another. What stays the same is the main expressive power of the language. You can always say what needs to be said. 1.As for language decline, the author is ______. A. disapproving B. supportive C. confused D. indifferent 2.What does the phrase “moaned about” underlined in Paragraph 3 most probably mean? A. Expressed dissatisfaction with. B. Showed curiosity about. C. Carefully thought about. D. Paid no attention to. 3.It is implied in this passage that we should ______. A. accept personal differences in language B. stop worrying about language decline C. avoid using simplified language D. protect language from decline 4.What does the author mainly do in this passage? A. Address a problem. B. Make a comparison. C. Argue against a view. D.

Passage 2 （25-26高二上·江西南昌第二中学·期中）When Mark Anthony Gonzales saw a police officer in need of assistance, every element of the moral code installed in him through his Brazilian jiu-jitsu (巴西柔术) training — morality, courage, benevolence (仁爱) — told him to stop his car and lend a hand, even though his wife, Rachel Ortiz, and his four kids were in the car. The suspect, a balding man of medium build, was running from a police officer in San Antonio, Texas. Gonzales slowed down. So did the man being chased — to avoid running into Gonzales’s minivan. That hesitation allowed the officer to catch up and take the suspect to the ground. But Gonzales quickly realized that the officer did not have control of the situation with the suspect struggling fiercely. Gonzales put his vehicle in park and jumped out, as did Ortiz. The first thing Gonzales did was identify himself and spell out his intention to make it two-on-one in the officer’s favor and not the other way around. Then, with the man on his back and the officer struggling to control the man’s upper body, Gonzales put his weight on the man’s legs. Seconds later, when the suspect rolled onto his stomach, Gonzales used techniques he’d learned in the gym: digging his knee into the suspect’s el bow and pulling the suspect’s head toward him to maintain control from the side. He then applied an underhook — a jiu-jitsu move where the hands are placed under the opponent’s arm to control the shoulder and upper body — and tugged until, after a few seconds, the suspect’s shoulder gave out. The officer clicked on the handcuffs and the threat was over. Gonzales had asked his wife to record everything to protect him just in case anything was called into question. But Ortiz posted the video on Facebook, where it attracted over 56 million views. Among those awed by the video was Brazilian jiu-jitsu instructor Rener Gracie, a fourth-degree black belt, who stated: “The combination of Gonzales’s technique and his calm communication with both the officer and suspect is the stuff of legends!” 1.Why did Gonzales stop his car? A. To protect his family. B. To uphold justice. C. To show his courage. D. To perform jiu-jitsu. 2.What did Gonzales do first when he came to the officer? A. He joined in the two-on-one fight. B. He persuaded the suspect to give in. C. He warned the policeman of danger. D. He declared his identity and intention. 3.Why did Gonzales ask Ortiz to shoot the video? A. To record his heroic deeds. B. To avoid getting in trouble. C. To attract views on Facebook. D. To expose the suspect’s behavior. 4.What’s the best title of the article? A. Jiu-jitsu Makes A Legend B. A Victory Of Two-on-one C. Lending A Well-Trained Hand D. Justice Has Long Arms Passage 3 （25-26高二上·江西临川第一中学·期中）A daughter complained to her father about her life and how things were so hard for her. She did not know if she was going to make it and wanted to give up. She was tired of fighting and struggling. It seemed as one problem was solved, a new one arose. Her father, a cook, took her to the kitchen. He filled three pots with water and placed each on a high fire. Soon the pots came to a boil. In one he placed carrots, in the second he placed eggs, and in the last he placed ground coffee beans. He let them sit and boil, without saying a word. The daughter sucked her teeth and impatiently waited, wondering what he was doing. In about twenty minutes he turned off the burners. He fished the carrots out and placed them in a bowl. He pulled the eggs out and placed them in a bowl. Then he ladled the coffee out and placed it in a mug. Turning to her, he asked, “Darling, what do you see?” “Carrots, eggs, and coffee,” she replied. He brought her closer and asked her to feel the carrots. She did and noted that they were soft. He then asked her to take an egg and break it. After pulling off the shell, she observed the hard-boiled egg. Finally, he asked her to sip the coffee. She smiled, as she tasted its rich aroma (芳香). “What does it mean, father?” she humbly asked. He explained that each of them had faced the same adversity, boiling water, but each reacted differently. The carrot went in strong, and hard; but after being subjected to the boiling water, it became softened and weak. The egg had been fragile; its thin outer shell had protected its liquid interior; but after sitting through the boiling water, its inside became hardened. The ground coffee beans were unique, however, after they were in the boiling water, they had changed the water. “Which are you?” he asked his daughter. 1.What did the daughter complain to her father? A. Her uncertainty of life. B. Her refusal to changes. C. Her tiredness of fighting alone. D. Her struggle to be independent. 2.What did the father take his daughter to the kitchen for? A.

Kennedy comes to this memory cafe twice a month since being diagnosed (诊断) with Alzheimer’s disease. Everyone here has a degree of memory loss or is a caregiver for someone with memory loss. Attendees colored on worksheets with an underwater theme. They drank coffee and had desserts. And a quick round of questions and answers gets everyone’s minds working. “We start out just like that, many of us cannot answer any of the questions, ” Kennedy said with a laugh. “We all have a good time going around,” he added. “You know, we all try to make it fun.” This memory cafe in Pennsylvania is one of 600 across the country. These gatherings for people with cognitive impairment (认知缺陷) and their caregivers are relatively cheap and easy to run — often the only expense is a small rental fee for the space.

They have given him purpose, Kennedy said, and help him cope with negative emotions around his diagnosis. “I came in and I was miserable,” Kennedy said. “I come in now and it’s like a family, an extended family. I get to meet them. I get to meet their partners. I get to meet their children. So, it's really nice.” More than six million people in the U. S. have been diagnosed with some form of dementia (痴呆) . The diagnosis can be burdensome on relationships, particularly with family members who are the primary caregivers.

However, one of the strongest bad effects of the technological age has been the downfall of reading books. Before we had phones, books were sources of entertainment. I know I’m not the only one who spent nights as a child with a flashlight hidden under my covers so that I could finish a book when I was supposed to be sleeping. I still remember one of my favorite novels was Great Expectations by Charles Dickens, from which I learned about the value of friendship. Reading a book often feels even more pleasant than watching a movie. We create our own worlds, pictures of the characters and views of the events described. Reading requires complete focus, so it pulls us out of our daily lives, our fears and our problems. Reading a book brings us into a state of peace and adventure, letting us dive into others’ worlds. Reading a book takes time and requires attentions, which is almost impossible in a world in which plenty of distractions(使人分心的事) exist at the mere opening of a phone lock screen. Many people even report feeling distracted by their phones while watching TV. If people are feeling distracted when watching TV shows, how can they focus on reading a novel, a task that requires complete attention? I was recently on vacation and found myself on an eight-hour plane ride with no Internet access. At first, this seemed unbearable, but then I remembered I had packed a book in my bag. I started the book, and within minutes, I was totally absorbed. I spent the rest of my journey reading it. I advise anyone wanting to rediscover the joys of reading, to simulate(模拟) the environment I was forced to enter into by getting on the airplane. Turn your phone off and find a quiet space. Pickup an old favorite book from childhood or a new one. Then, sit down and begin to create your own world. 1.What can we know about the author? A. She was into reading in her childhood. B.

Mum always placed a lot of emphasis on higher education and I was educated from a young age to enter university. Unfortunately for Mum, the thing that I had a special love for was cooking — not what she would have chosen for me. Knowing how hard restaurant work is, she wasn’t pleased with my idea. To keep my options open, I decided to apply for university but also cook throughout my studies with a part-time job. However, it wasn’t long before I found I was stuck in studying something not appealing to me, and this part-time work became my thing. I made the tough decision to quit my university major after graduation, switching to pursue a career in the kitchen. Although she wasn’t favorable with my choice, Mum has since been an incredible supporter. Soon, I fell back into old patterns working in kitchens but feeling unfulfilled. Then, social media changed everything. As an early user, I poured my creativity into the platform, discovering a talent for photography and storytelling. Soon, my audience grew to 200,000 followers. Recognizing the opportunity, I quit my job to pursue travel photography and social media full-time. I traveled 50 trips a year at my peak while expanding into consulting, public speaking, and project management. I created social media content, photography and campaign reports. As a pioneer in Australia’s influencer market, my services became highly sought-after. I established a travel account, teaching others to build careers in the industry, and launched an online photography course for beginners. Next year, I’ll lead my first photography tour in Zimbabwe, my partner’s homeland, combining my passions with conservation and community support.

From a very young age, she knew she loved languages. In the fourth grade, she began learning French. Her love for languages continued into high school, where she began training to be a translator. Now she interprets and translates for people professionally. Alkashef has been a translator for 20 years. She’s a member of the American Translators Association board of directors and a certified Arabic-English translator, a certified court interpreter, and a conference interpreter. Though the jobs have similarities, translators work with written material while interpreters work with spoken language. Confidence is crucial to both jobs. Most interpreters and translators are freelancers (自由职业者), which means they’re not employed as staff for an organization or a company. Being a freelancer means doing a variety of work for a variety of clients. Alkashef enjoys this aspect of her job. “It’s always fun, because every week is different, and the topics are always different,” she says. “One day, you are translating a document about clean water, and the next day, you are in court, interpreting a case. The following day, you’re at a conference about international peace. You learn a lot, because you get to get in touch with so many different people.” Alkashef has interpreted at court cases and film festivals, and at political events with people such as presidents and kings. The work can be exciting and attractive, but also challenging and sad. “Interpreters speak in the first person,” Alkashef says. “When they say something sad or painful, their subconscious does not understand that it is somebody else’s story. So interpreters come home with this burden, and they have to do self-care to take care of their mental health.” Alkashef is most grateful that through her work, she’s able to help others. “It’s more than just the words. The interpreter brings an understanding of the cultures, of history, and of a lot of things,” she says. Her work has enriched her life in many ways, and she tries to impart what she learns to those around her. 1.What distinguishes translators from interpreters according to the text? A. Their wage level. B. Their working time. C. The medium they use. D. The client type they serve. 2.Why does Alkashef enjoy being a freelancer? A. Because of stable income. B. Because of diverse tasks. C. Because of predictable routine. D. Because of fewer responsibilities. 3.What challenge do interpreters face mentally according to Alkashef? A. Emotional stress. B. Language barriers. C. Time management. D. Technical difficulties. 4.What is the author’s main purpose in writing the last paragraph? A. To compare Alkashef’s work with others’. B. To highlight the impact of Alkashef’s work. C. To present Alkashef’s ability to understand others. D. To emphasize the importance of words of gratitude. 主题语境03 人与自我-生活与学习 （25-26高二上·江西景德镇·期中）Holding my newborn baby, I looked at the nurses rushing around me. Little Lou was born with a heart problem and had surgery when he was just 48 hours old. The medical staff took my breath away with how hard they worked. Learning the special bed my baby lay on cost $55,000, I decided to raise that sum for the hospital. By the time Lou turned six months old, he experienced another critical surgery — an 18-hour marathon where the medical team refused to give up. Their skill and perseverance saved him. Though I could never fully express my thanks, I remained determined: I would find a way to raise those funds. During COVID-19, I took an online painting class. I’d always been creative and had worked as a visual designer. While I painted, all my worries disappeared. A mushroom I painted came out better than expected, so I kept at it. I wondered if I could start selling my art so I entered a national competition and was astonished to be a finalist. That competition opened many doors. Soon, I was being contacted by galleries to do solo exhibitions. In my spare time, I’d post my latest work on my newsletter and a buyer would quickly purchase it. I could barely keep up with demand. Every time I sold a painting, I donated money to the Children’s Hospital. Then one day, I was contacted by a woman called Emily, an aerospace engineer who was going to be the 100th woman to go to space. She floated the idea of taking one of my artworks into space. I created a painting for her. It’s about a child in a space suit being lifted by balloons to show Emily’s childhood dream of going to space. The balloons are slightly deflated (泄气的) to show how hard it was but that she never gave up. On November 22, 2024, Emily took my painting to space and helped me raise 55,000 mark yet but hope to do so soon. Lou, six, will need another heart operation eventually, but he’s currently thriving (茁壮成长). My art uses different shades to show we all have dark times, but if we keep going, we’ll see light again. 1.Why did the author raise money for the hospital? A. To repay its efforts. B.
