专题04 阅读理解（记叙文+议论文+新闻报道） 主题语境01 人与社会-历史、社会与文化 （25-26高一上·甘肃陇南市·期中）Last summer, high school cheerleader and sport star Aubrey Barnett noticed a continuous neck pain. By the start of her senior year in September 2024, the teen from Monroe, had been found having Burkitt lymphoma. “It’s one of the most serious cancers (癌症),” says Dr. John Bergsagel. “It can double in size every 24 hours.” “I didn’t really believe it,” Aubrey said. “I was just living a normal life. There’s no way I have cancer. I’m fine. And then when they told me, I was like, ‘Are you all serious?’ Like, I didn’t really know what to feel.” The good news is that there is a good chance of recovering well if given treatment (治疗) in time. Aubrey spent much of the fall season of her senior year in the hospital. For three months, Aubrey stood painful treatment, which caused mouth sores (溃疡). Her mother, Chancey Barnett, said she couldn’t open her mouth, making eating and talking difficult. Through it all, Aubrey’s spirit remained strong. After finishing treatment in December, she took part in a state cheer-leading competition and returned to the track team, where she broke her personal record. Aubrey marked her high school graduation on May 20, 2025 at Walnut Grove High School. At the graduation, the President Allen said, “Aubrey graduated with straight A’s and is headed to Emmanuel University. Her victory over cancer while continuing to stand out in school is a great example of what willpower and hope can achieve. Her strength, courage, and uplifting spirit have moved our school community. We are proud of her.” Her mother spoke about how Aubrey’s cancer journey deeply influenced their family and her daughter’s future. Now Aubrey plans to run track and study nursing or exercise science. Encouraged by the care she received, she’s also considering a job in nursing. “I started a GoFundMe to help buy gifts and care products for other patients at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta. I want to work there when I get older. I think that I could help other kids get through their tough times.” Aubrey says. 1.How did Aubrey feel about having got cancer at first? A. She calmly accepted the result. B. She was afraid and stressed. C. She disbelieved it and was shocked. D. She requested treatment at once. 2.What does President Allen think of Aubrey’s experience? A. Common. B. Doubtful. C. Worrying. D. Inspiring. 3.What can be inferred (推断) about Aubrey from the last paragraph? A. She is willing to give back to society. B. She plans to study medicine at university. C. She has to stop running to keep healthy. D. Her mother is worried about her college life. 4.What can be the best title for the passage? A. A Teen’s Medical Treatment Journey B. A Teen Beat Cancer in Her Senior High C. The Life-changing Moment of an Athlete D. The Power of School Community Support 【答案】1. C　2. D　3. A　4. B 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述高三女生奥布里确诊癌症，经三个月治疗后抗癌成功并坚持完成学业，激励全校师生。 (1)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第二段““I didn’t really believe it,” Aubrey said. “I was just living a normal life. There’s no way I have cancer. I’m fine. And then when they told me, I was like, ‘Are you all serious?’ Like, I didn’t really know what to feel.”(“我当时真的不相信这是真的，”奥布里说道。“我只是过着平常的生活。我绝不可能得癌症。我很好。然后当他们告诉我这个消息时，我就像在说：‘你们这是认真的吗？’ 我真的不知道该作何反应。”)”可知，她得知患癌时感到难以置信，震惊不已。故选C。 (2)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第四段“At the graduation, the President Allen said, “Aubrey graduated with straight A’s and is headed to Emmanuel University. Her victory over cancer while continuing to stand out in school is a great example of what willpower and hope can achieve. Her strength, courage, and uplifting spirit have moved our school community. We are proud of her.”(在毕业典礼上，艾伦校长说道：“奥布里以全优的成绩毕业，并将前往埃马纽埃尔大学深造。她在战胜癌症的同时仍能在学校里表现出色，这充分证明了意志力和希望能够带来怎样的成就。她的坚韧、勇气和积极向上的精神深深打动了我们整个学校社区。我们为她感到骄傲。”)”可知，President Allen认为Aubrey的经历是鼓舞人心的。故选D。 (3)题解析： 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Now Aubrey plans to run track and study nursing or exercise science. Encouraged by the care she received, she’s also considering a job in nursing. “I started a GoFundMe to help buy gifts and care products for other patients at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta. I want to work there when I get older. I think that I could help other kids get through their tough times.” Aubrey says.(如今，奥布里计划参加田径运动，并打算学习护理或运动科学。受到所受照料的鼓舞，她还考虑从事护理工作。“我发起了一项‘爱心筹款’活动，旨在为亚特兰大儿童医疗中心的其他患者购买礼物和护理用品。等我长大后，我想在那里工作。我觉得自己能够帮助其他孩子渡过难关。”奥布里说道)”可知，Aubrey受帮助过她的人的激励，希望将来从事护理工作，帮助其他生病的孩子，由此推知，Aubrey乐意回馈社会。故选A。 (4)题解析： 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Last summer, high school cheerleader and sport star Aubrey Barnett noticed a continuous neck pain. By the start of her senior year in September 2024, the teen from Monroe, had been found having Burkitt lymphoma.(去年夏天，高中啦啦队队员兼运动健将奥布里·巴内特感到颈部持续疼痛。到了2024年9月她读高三的时候，这名来自门罗镇的少女被确诊患有伯基特淋巴瘤)”以及文章重点讲述Aubrey一边与罕见癌症抗争一边坚持完成高中学业并以优异的成绩毕业的故事，因此B项“一名少女在高中时期战胜了癌症”最符合文章标题。故选B。 主题语境02 人与自我-生活与学习 Passage 1 （25-26高一上·甘肃省部分学校·期中）“Why did she spill the beans?” I thought regretfully. I’ll always remember that day, when I was so surprised by all the strange looks everyone was giving me. Those thoughts will always stay with me. And I couldn’t believe I would lose the friendship of the person I trusted the most. Five years back, Sally was the new kid in class. I don’t know what it was, but something unusual about her drew me to her. She was the most friendly person I knew. We started as classmates, but after a few months, we were like best friends. So, I never expected her to hurt me in such a big way. I don’t know what made me tell Sally about my personal life. She made the matter bigger than it was, adding her own spin (倾向性描述) on it and telling everyone at school. It was like someone had done something bad in the back. After she let out my secrets, everyone at school started laughing at me, looking at me whenever I passed by. After this terrible situation, I changed schools. Sally called me many times, but I didn’t answer. My heart was broken. I tried hard to heal (治愈) from the hurt she left on my heart. I started a new life. After five years, my life went back to the way it was, with new friends. But one day, I met Anna at the market. She was my classmate from 3rd grade. She told me that Sally wasn’t the one who brought my secrets to light. Mary was. Mary was our school’s big mouth who always wanted to stick her nose into other people’s business. I was all at sea (不知所措). I wished I could have asked Sally about this. I wished I could go back in time and fix my mistakes. From that, I learned a life lesson that we should trust those we love because one little mistake could really damage our lives. 1.What does the underlined part “spill the beans” in paragraph 1 mean? A. Speak ill of others. B. Speak out one’s heart. C. Use up the beans. D. Give away others’ secrets. 2.What did the author do after her secrets were brought to light? A. She called Sally to ask why.

It’s important to have confidence in our loved ones. 【答案】1. D　2. B　3. A　4. D 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述作者误以为好友萨莉泄露自己秘密，多年后才得知真相并从中吸取教训的故事。 (1)题解析： 词句猜测题。根据第一段中“I thought regretfully.

(我懊悔地想。我永远也忘不了那一天，当我看到每个人都给我投来奇怪的目光时，我是多么惊讶。那些想法将永远伴随着我。我不敢相信我会失去我最信任的人的友谊)”以及第三段中“After she let out my secrets, everyone at school started laughing at me, looking at me whenever I passed by. (在她泄露了我的秘密后，学校里的所有人都开始嘲笑我，每当我路过时，他们都会盯着我看)”可知，作者认为是Sally泄露了自己的隐私，由此推知，spill the beans意为“泄露他人的秘密”。故选D。 (2)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“After this terrible situation, I changed schools.(在这场糟糕的情况之后，我转学了)”可知，作者的秘密被泄露后，她转去了一所新学校。故选B。 (3)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第五段中的“I wished I could have asked Sally about this. I wished I could go back in time and fix my mistakes.(我真希望当时能问问萨莉这件事。我真希望能回到过去，弥补我的错误)”可知，作者得知真相后，因误解萨莉并失去这段友谊而感到后悔。故选A。 (4)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第五段中的“From that, I learned a life lesson that we should trust those we love because one little mistake could really damage our lives.(从那以后，我学到了一个人生教训：我们应该信任我们所爱的人，因为一个小小的错误真的可能会毁掉我们的生活)”可知，作者从这次经历中学到的是“对所爱之人抱有信任很重要”。故选D。 Passage 2 （25-26高一上·甘肃兰州市西北中学·期中）When I was a kid,I was the girl who kept the training wheels on my bike as long as possible.Even my younger sister had got rid of them much earlier than me.But as I began to grow older,this changed.

With the pressure of everyone seeing my training wheels,I determined to let them go.This was the first big change I’d ever made on my own. I went to my parents and told them all about my dilemma.They were more than happy to help.We went outside and got my bike.Instead of running away and hiding behind,I stood in front of my bike and took great pride in my decision as my dad removed the training wheels. I got on and steadied myself.My heart raced but my feet and hands were calm.My dad started to push before my feet even moved and suddenly I was off.The fear faded away and a relaxed mind came into its place.It was crazy to think how quickly I learned something that took so long for me to even try!

Rescue workers were called to Mossman, a town near Port Douglas, at about 12:40 am, where 18 people had to be moved to safety because of dangerous flooding and then were taken to an evacuation centre in the local library. Around 40,000 homes and businesses lost power, and the Captain Cook Highway was cut between Cairns and Port Douglas. Although Cyclone Jasper was downgraded to a tropical (热带的) low on Thursday, it was a wild night, bringing heavy rain and strong winds. Senior Meteorologist (气象学家) Laura Boekel said, “This event is not over. We have seen about half a meter of rainfall in the last 24 hours across Far North Queensland.” The Bureau of Meteorology warned of rising river levels in the Mossman River, which could reach levels similar to the floods in January 2019. Areas around Wujal Wujal, Cape Tribulation, and Port Douglas faced the worst of the cyclone, and nearby communities like Palm Cove and Cairns were also affected. A weather warning remained in place across Far North Queensland. People from Cooktown to Port Douglas were overnight warned to prepare for possible flooding. People in the storm’s path were being warned not to be fooled by the calm conditions inside the cyclone’s 70 km-wide eye, which was expected to take hours to cross over some areas. “The eye is really big,” Boekel said on Wednesday night. “There’s a period of calm conditions in the eye itself. But you can’t pick that time period. Please stay in a safe place and wait for the whole system to pass.” The cyclone was producing wind speeds of 140 km/h, with centre wind speeds of 100 km/h. 1.Why were rescue workers called to Mossman? A. A storm leveled the local library. B. Some highways were damaged there. C. People were stuck by the flood. D. A flood destroyed many houses. 2.What can we learn about Far North Queensland according to the text? A. It was hard hit by the storm. B. It never saw a strong wind like this. C. It badly needs to advance its business. D. It is well known for its highways. 3.What is Boekel’s suggestion for the people in the affected areas? A. Avoid taking part in outdoor activities. B. Report the wind speeds in a timely manner. C. Keep safe until the storm completely passes. D. Stay with family members in the evacuation center. 4.Where is this text probably taken from? A. A science magazine. B. A newspaper. C. A geography textbook. D. A research report. 【答案】1. C　2. A　3. C　4. B 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要报道了气旋Jasper对昆士兰州北部造成的破坏和救援情况。 (1)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Rescue workers were called to Mossman, a town near Port Douglas, at about 12:40 am, where 18 people had to be moved to safety due to dangerous flooding and then were taken to an evacuation centre in the local library.(救援人员在凌晨12点40分左右被叫到道格拉斯港附近的Mossman镇，由于危险的洪水，18人必须被转移到安全地带，随后被带到当地图书馆的疏散中心)”可知，由于危险的洪水，有人需要被转移到安全地带，然后被带到当地图书馆的一个疏散中心。因此，救援人员被叫到Mossman镇是因为人们被困在洪水中。故选C。 (2)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Although Cyclone Jasper was downgraded to a tropical(热带的) low on Thursday, it was a wild night, bringing heavy rain and strong winds.(尽管气旋“贾斯珀”在周四已减弱为热带低气压，但那仍是狂风暴雨的一晚，带来了强降雨和大风天气)”以及第四段中“Areas around Wujal Wujal, Cape Tribulation, and Port Douglas faced the worst of the cyclone, and nearby communities like Palm Cove and Cairns were also affected.(乌贾尔乌贾尔、苦难角和道格拉斯港周边地区遭受了这场气旋的最严重影响，而像棕榈湾和凯恩斯这样的附近社区也受到了波及)”可知，Wujal Wujal、Cape Tribulation和Port Douglas周边地区是遭受气旋袭击最严重的地区，附近的Palm Cove和Cairns等社区也受到了影响。由此可知，昆士兰州北部遭到了风暴的严重袭击。故选A。 (3)题解析： 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Please stay in a safe place and wait for the whole system to pass.(请待在安全的地方，等待整个风暴系统过去)”可知，Boekel建议受影响地区的人们待在一个安全的地方，等待整个风暴系统过去。故选C。 (4)题解析： 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“A rescue has been carried out and flood warnings are in place in Far North Queensland as Cyclone (气旋) Jasper caused widespread damage and flooding.(由于气旋“贾斯珀”造成了大面积的破坏和洪水灾害，澳大利亚昆士兰州远北地区已展开了救援行动，同时发布了洪水预警)”可知，文章主要讲述了气旋贾斯珀给昆士兰北部带来的影响，包括人员被困、救援行动、天气情况以及对人们的警告等，这种报道具有时效性，符合新闻的特点，因此，文章最有可能来自报纸。故选B。 主题语境01 人与社会-历史、社会与文化 （25-26高一上·甘肃张掖市民乐县第一中学·期中）TikTok has reported it will block young users on the social networking platform from using certain beauty filters (滤镜) on photographs. The filters allow users to edit photos and do things like making people’s skin look clearer, their eyes a little bigger or their lips a little fuller. Some filters also allow users to change their skin colour, and it can be hard to see when a photograph has been edited in this way. People under the age of 18 will be blocked from using these filters. Some of them are created by users and others are made by the app. TikTok posted the changes after a report by Internet matters, a children’s online safety organisation. The organisation found that these beauty filters could be harmful to children’s mental health because they put young people under pressure to look a certain way. This can harm children’s self-esteem (自尊) and cause worry, experts say. Christine Grahm from TikTok said on LinkedIn, “If our users don’t feel safe, they won’t bring their true selves to TikTok and the platform just wouldn’t be the same.” One TikTok user told The Guardian in 2022 that she had considered getting cosmetic surgery (美容手术) after a period of using beauty filters on the app. Fun filters that allow children to add dog noses or rabbit ears to images will still be OK to use. One problem with the ban (禁令) is that not all users enter their real ages when signing up to TikTok. The company said it would soon be trying out new machine learning systems that could help find out when users had entered the incorrect age, but it is under pressure to stop under 13s from using the platform by giving untrue dates of birth. Children’s safety organisations want all social media sites to do more to make the platforms safe spaces for young people. 1.What will TikTok do about certain beauty filters for young users? A. Test their safety. B. Post their advantages. C. Ban the use of them. D. Increase their users. 2.What is the influence of the beauty filters? A. It encourages creativity. B. It makes children worried. C. It develops self-esteem. D. It stops children from communicating. 3.Why is Christine Grahm mentioned in Paragraph 4? A. To show the harm of beauty filters. B. To make readers more interested. C. To warn children to stay away from Internet. D. To introduce cosmetic surgery. 4.What problem does TikTok have with the ban? A. Users might not like it. B. It’s hard to check how old users are. C. Users might misunderstand the rule. D. It doesn’t receive support from parents. 【答案】1. C　2. B　3. A　4. B 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了TikTok将禁止18岁以下用户使用部分美颜滤镜，以及该举措的背景、原因和面临的问题。 (1)题解析： 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“TikTok has reported it will block young users on the social networking platform from using certain beauty filters (滤镜) on photographs.(TikTok已宣布，将禁止该社交平台上的年轻用户在照片中使用特定美颜滤镜。)”以及第三段“People under the age of 18 will be blocked from using these filters.(18岁以下人群将被禁止使用这些滤镜。)”可知，TikTok将禁止年轻用户使用特定美颜滤镜。故选C。 (2)题解析： 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“The organisation found that these beauty filters could be harmful to children’s mental health because they put young people under pressure to look a certain way. This can harm children’s self-esteem (自尊) and cause worry, experts say.(该组织发现，这些美颜滤镜可能对儿童的心理健康造成危害，因为它们会给年轻人带来必须长成某种样子的压力。专家表示，这会损害儿童的自尊，引发焦虑情绪。)”可知，美颜滤镜会给年轻人带来压力，损害他们的自尊并引发焦虑。故选B。 (3)题解析： 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“Christine Grahm from TikTok said on LinkedIn, “If our users don’t feel safe, they won’t bring their true selves to TikTok and the platform just wouldn’t be the same.” One TikTok user told The Guardian in 2022 that she had considered getting cosmetic surgery (美容手术) after a period of using beauty filters on the app.(TikTok的Christine Grahm在LinkedIn上表示：“如果我们的用户感到不安全，他们就不会在TikTok上展现真实的自我，这个平台也将不复以往。”2022年，一位TikTok用户向《卫报》透露，在长期使用该应用的美颜滤镜后，她曾考虑过接受美容手术。)”可知，Christine Graham作为TikTok的相关人士，他认为如果用户感到不安全，就不会在TikTok上展现真实的自我，结合前文提到的美颜滤镜对儿童心理健康的危害，以及后文用户因使用滤镜考虑美容手术的案例，本质是为了佐证美颜滤镜的负面影响。故选A。 (4)题解析： 细节理解题。根据文章第五段“One problem with the ban (禁令) is that not all users enter their real ages when signing up to TikTok.(这项禁令存在一个问题：并非所有用户在注册TikTok时都会填写真实年龄。)”可知，这项禁令面临的问题是用户注册时可能不填写真实年龄，导致TikTok难以核实用户实际年龄。故选B。 主题语境02 人与社会-社会服务与人际沟通 Passage 1 （25-26高一上·甘肃张掖市民乐县第一中学·期中）Researchers in Australia, who studied 1,500 people and their lifestyles, have found that having good friends can help you live longer. An American study of 10,000 students, over a period of 35 years, also found that if you make more friends than the average (普通的) person at school, you'll receive a higher salary (工资) in later life. People need good social skills at work to manage people and work in a team successfully. These are the same skills we use to make friends at school. On average, teenagers aged between 15 and 17 have 500 “friends” on their favourite social networking site. Adults have 130. So if you believe this research, you might live for a long time and be very rich. However, according to Professor Robin Dunbar from the University of Oxford, it probably won't make any difference. Dunbar studied the number of messages between users of a popular social networking website, each of whom had between 200 and 2,000 friends. He found that they always communicate with a maximum (最大量) of 150 people. Among these 150, Dunbar believes that around five people are close friends. You've most likely known them for a long time; they are probably old friends and you share all your good and bad experiences with them. Then there are ten more friends. Although they’re close to you, you may not keep in touch with them every week. Next there are 35 people who you might spend time with because of a shared interest. You aren't close. And finally, there's a large group of 100. You see or speak to these people at least once a year, but you don't know them well. Beyond this number, Dunbar says, it's impossible to make any relationship meaningful. If you have a lot of online “friends”, try this experiment: First take away anyone you haven't been in touch with for a year. Then remove people you can't remember and, finally, take away friends who you wouldn't mind losing touch with. How many do you have left? How many of these people are actually good friends? According to the research, these are the only people that really matter. 1.What are the studies in the first paragraph mainly about? A. Some useful advice on how to make friends. B. Some social skills you may need at work. C. The advantages of having a lot of friends. D. The number of friends you should have. 2.What is Robin Dunbar's attitude towards the studies? A. Disagreeable. B. Unclear. C. Hopeful. D. Careless. 3.What does the text mainly want to show? A. It's more important to have good friends than lots of friends. B. Friends are sometimes more important than family. C. There is a lot of research on the influence of friends. D. You need to spend more time with your friends. 4.In which part of a newspaper can we read the text? A. Nature. B. Technology. C. Lifestyle. D. Education. 【答案】1. C　2. A　3. A　4. C 【解析】【导语】 这是一篇说明文。文章围绕 “朋友数量与质量” 展开，通过不同研究对比，最终指出真正有意义的友谊在于质量而非数量，且人能维系的有意义关系存在上限。 (1)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第一段“Researchers in Australia, who studied 1, 500 people and their lifestyles, have found that having good friends can help you live longer. An American study of10, 000 students, over a period of 35 years, also found that if you make more friends than the average (普通的) person at school, you'll receive a higher salary (工资) in later life.(澳大利亚的研究人员对1500人及其生活方式进行了研究，发现有好朋友能让人长寿。美国一项对1万名学生长达35年的研究也发现，如果你在学校里交的朋友比一般人多，你以后的薪水就会更高。)”可知，第一段中提到的研究主要是关有很多朋友的好处。故选C。 (2)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第三段“However, according to Professor Robin Dunbar from the University of Oxford, it probably won't make any difference..(然而，据牛津大学的Robin Dunbar教授说，这可能不会产生任何影响。)”可推知，Robin Dunbar对研究持不赞成的态度。故选A。 (3)题解析： 推理判断题。根据最后一段“If you have a lot of online “friends”, try this experiment: First take away anyone you haven't been in touch with for a year. Then remove people you can't remember and, finally, take away friends who you wouldn't mind losing touch with. How many do you have left? How many of these people are actually good friends? According to the research, these are the only people that really matter.(如果你有很多网友，不妨做这个实验：首先删掉任何一个你一年都没联系过的人。接着移除那些你记不起来的人，最后，去掉那些你不介意失去联系的朋友。你还剩下多少人呢？这些人中又有多少是真正的好朋友呢？根据这项研究，只有这些人才是真正重要的。)”可知，文章想要表达有好朋友比有很多朋友更重要。故选A项。 (4)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第一段“Researchers in Australia, who studied 1, 500 people and their lifestyles, have found that having good friends can help you live longer. An American study of10, 000 students, over a period of 35 years, also found that if you make more friends than the average (普通的) person at school, you'll receive a higher salary (工资) in later life.(澳大利亚的研究人员对1500人及其生活方式进行了研究，发现有好朋友能让人长寿。美国一项对1万名学生长达35年的研究也发现，如果你在学校里交的朋友比一般人多，你以后的薪水就会更高。)”和全文内容可知，文章围绕 “朋友数量与质量” 展开，通过不同研究对比，最终指出真正有意义的友谊在于质量而非数量，且人能维系的有意义关系存在上限。由此可推知，文章最有可能出自报纸的生活方式板块。故选C项。 Passage 2 （25-26高一上·甘肃华池县第一中学·期中）Back in the day when I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do with my life, I was studying to become a firefighter. As a firefighter, you’re constantly thinking of other people and trying to help children. It’s the mindset, that is the most difficult part in this job! One night I was heading home and decided to stop off at a burrito (玉米饼) place. I was approached by a homeless man. He was very dirty and obviously hungry. He asked me for some change to buy a little food. As I was pulling some change out, I had an idea. I decided to see if he wanted to eat a real dinner, so I asked him to follow me back into the burrito joint to order. When he followed me in, the people behind the count er refused to let him in. After some arguing, so I had to encourage him to order whatever and however much he wanted. He ended up ordering enough to fill his stomach at least 3 times over! For someone who has been on the edges of society it seemed like he was very surprised at my kind behavior. But to me, it was what any “human being” should do or at least offer. I know we see these people every day asking for money but you had to be there to see the look in his face. To me it reminded me when I was young and my mom brought out a big birthday cake for me on my birthday, with all the candy, getting to experience a big meal. And I think he felt special, like he was getting attention. Again something that I could see he hadn’t experienced in a long time. I often think about this story, because to me it’s not just about helping someone out by feeding them, but giving him the respect of being a human being and allowing him to feel good about himself was very rewarding. 1.What’s the hardest part of being a firefighter according to the author? A. Learning to be a good firefighter. B. Deciding what to do in the future. C. Dealing with the brother’s relationship. D. Developing the mindset of helping others. 2.What do we know about the homeless man? A. He was grateful for the author’s kindness. B. He ordered whatever he wanted the moment he was in. C. He asked the author to buy a burrito to fill his stomach. D. He was not welcomed by those running the burrito joint at first. 3.What is the author’s purpose in mentioning the birthday cake? A. To think back to his own birthday at a young age. B. To explain the reason for the values he holds onto. C. To show the similar experience of the homeless man. D. To tell the difference between him and the homeless man. 4.Which of the following words can best describe the writer? A. Caring and humorous. B. Selfless and determined. C.

It’s the kids, of course. Whatever the setting, the question I get asked the most is “Will the kids be alright?” It’s made me realise that we tend to look at the glass half-empty rather than half-filled when it comes to mixing work and family. We forget about all the benefits that we bring to our children when we work—and I’m not talking about the obvious financial benefits, although these of course shouldn’t be taken for granted. About a year ago I remember getting a call from the school just as I was pulling up to the house after having driven 20 minutes to the school and 20 minutes back.” Mrs. Brown, your son asked us to call. He forgot his sports clothes. Can you come back to the school and drop them off?” I was annoyed! I had already spent 40 minutes in aggressive weekday morning traffic. I replied, “Sorry, I’m working at the moment. I’m afraid my son needs to learn to be organised.” Being a good parent requires delivering tough love sometimes. Kids need to learn to be independent. It can be a cruel and competitive world out there. Seeking interests, including business, outside of your kids, can give you that extra idea that you need not care for your kids with attention. This benefit of working isn’t always immediately evident. It wasn’t until our daughter went away to college that she realised why we had raised her in the way that we did. “Mom, I can’t believe how so many of my friends struggle to manage things on their own. They are constantly calling their parents for help. “You’ll love that moment! After all those years of complaining about why you don’t do this or why you don’t give them that, your kids realise that tough love has made them better people. 1.The author refused to drop off her son’s sports clothes because .

(这让我意识到，在平衡工作与家庭时，我们往往倾向于看到杯子空了一半，而不是装了半杯水。我们忘记了自己在工作中能给孩子带来的种种好处——我指的并不是那些显而易见的经济收益，尽管这些当然也不应当被忽视)”、第三段“Being a good parent requires delivering tough love sometimes. (做一名合格的父母，有时需要给予孩子严厉的爱)”、第四段“your kids realise that tough love has made them better people.

Barton spent two years nursing him back to health until he fully got well. Although she had this early nursing experience, Barton would not work as a nurse until later in life. At the age of seventeen, Barton worked as a teacher in Massachusetts. Twelve years later, she opened the first free public school in New Jersey. The school grew from only six students on the first day of classes to more than 200 students by the end of the school year. When the school opened in the fall of 1853, Barton was surprised to learn that a man had been hired as the school’s head teacher, being paid twice her salary to run the school that she had set up and made successful. Outraged at this news, she quit her teaching position. “I may sometimes be willing to teach for nothing, but if paid at all, I shall never do a man’s work for less than a man’s pay,” she said. In 1861, the Civil War began; Barton began collecting supplies and got passes from the government to send her supplies and services to the front line and field hospitals. And then she became known as the “Angel of the Battlefield”. In 1869, Barton took a trip to Switzerland where she learned about the International Red Cross. Later, Barton set up the American Red Cross. Under Barton’s leadership, the American Red Cross helped thousands of people in need.

The living conditions were tough for my 15-year-old brother Caleb and me to get used to, but we quickly came to understand that these kids in Nangili have something that many American kids lack. They have friendships resulting from the sufferings they have experienced together, and they have learned to enjoy the simple things in life. Caleb and I are runners on the Farmingdale High School cross-country track team, and we went to Kenya to train at the High Altitude Training Centre in Iten. The training we received from Kenya’s world-class runners was excellent, but our most memorable experiences in Kenya were with the orphans at Blessed Children’s Home. When we arrived there, the children welcomed us warmly. Although Nangili is a very poor village with few resources, its children find joy in playing card games and soccer. We spent many hours a day with them, laughing, running, competing, and playing. Although I missed Farmingdale when I was in Kenya, I gained a new appreciation for all the things we have here. Now I will try to live a life that is more thankful and more focused on people than on things. I want to study business in college so I can help set up social enterprises in Africa that would give opportunities to kids like the orphans I met. They have taught me more than I ever imagined.

The teenager and her little dog were set on Saturday to take off on a month-long journey around Australia’s coastline, in an adventurous effort that would make her the youngest pilot to fly around the country. Her parents, who have been flying for about 26 years, will complete the same journey in a separate plane. Jennifer said many of these places may only be short stops to refuel (加油), while others may include overnight stays. The two will fly in a seven-year-old plane that Jennifer has flown for about two months. It can also go on the land and water. Before her journey, the teenager has put some personal touches on the plane. Close to the front, near the door, many names — like parents and instructors (教练) — are shown. “They’re all the people that have helped to get this trip to come along,” she said. “Without them, we wouldn’t be here.” Jennifer, who is not yet old enough to drive a car, has previously flown in a “Foxbat” airplane. She wasn’t worried about her little dog, Bella, causing trouble on the flight, but she still packed many dog pads (软垫) just in case. Jennifer said Bella didn’t have much flying experience and had only been on two flights. To keep Bella from jumping around and make sure it’s safe to fly, she will be in a wooden box during the flight. As for her record-breaking achievements, Jennifer said that becoming Australia’s youngest female pilot was far from her first goal — beating her 26-year-old brother to a pilot’s license. “Until one day, when I Googled ‘Who’s the youngest female pilot in Australia?’, it turns out that it was me,” she said. 1.What do we know about Jennifer’s family? A. They all work as pilots. B. They share a love for flying. C. Her parents bought her a plane. D. Her parents doubted her ability to fly. 2.Why did Jennifer put some names on the plane? A. To follow a traditional custom. B. To praise her family members. C. To remember her flight instructors. D. To thank those supporting her trip. 3.Why will Bella be put in a wooden box during the flight? A. She is too noisy for the flight. B. She gets nervous easily during long flights. C. She might influence the flight safety. D. She needs a comfortable place to sleep. 4.What can be the best title for the passage? A. A teen achieved her goal to get a pilot license. B.

She is pointing to the fact that we are half Jewish and half Indian, so we receive gifts on both the festivals of lights, Hanukkah and Diwali. Though my mother makes jokes about us, I do not mind getting two sets of gifts! Hanukkah is celebrated on the 25th day of the Jewish month, which is usually sometime in December. On Hanukkah, like most Jewish families, we light some candles and say a prayer (祈祷) each night. We also say a special prayer on the first night. After that, it is a tradition for my sister and me to do “hot and cold” for our hidden Hanukkah gifts. When we walk towards the gift, our parents say “hot” and when we walk farther away, they say “cold”. We each receive one present every night of Hanukkah. Another part I like about this holiday is seeing family members who we do not see often. My aunt usually stays for a few days, and we sometimes visit other relatives. Diwali is celebrated on the 13th day of the dark fortnight of the month of Ashwin (October/ November). To celebrate Diwali, my family does prayers, in honour of the goddess Lakshmi. Since she is the goddess of wealth and prosperity (繁荣), the prayers include washing silver coins in milk and water. In India, people decorate their houses with lamps, similar to the way you might light up your house for Christmas. My family just place a few candles outside. We also set off firecrackers, which is my favorite part. We often do this activity with friends to add to the excitement. Both holidays have different histories and stories. We celebrate them in different ways, yet they both have the same meaning. They both translate into Festival of Lights, and they both mean family and presents for me! 1.Why does the author receive gifts on both Hanukkah and Diwali? A. She lives in a wealthy family. B. She lives in two different countries. C. Her parents like celebrating their different cultures. D. Her parents like spending money buying gifts for her. 2.What does the underlined part “hot and cold” in paragraph 2 refer to (指代)? A. A kind of Hanukkah game. B. A secret written on lights. C. A sort of Hanukkah gift. D. A kind of festival drink. 3.What do Hanukkah and Diwali have in common? A. They share the same history. B. They are both celebrated in December. C. They get the families to do their prayers. D. They are both connected to the birth of lights. 4.What is the author’s attitude towards Hanukkah and Diwali? A. Unclear. B. Positive. C. Worried. D. Disappointed. 【答案】1. C　2. A　3. C　4. B 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者庆祝两种不同文化的节日Hanukkah和Diwali，并对其作了介绍。 (1)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第一段“She is pointing to the fact that we are half Jewish and half Indian, so we receive gifts on both the festivals of lights, Hanukkah and Diwali. (她指的是我们一半是犹太人、一半是印度人，所以我们会在光明节和排灯节这两个节日都收到礼物。)”可知，作者能在两个节日收到礼物是因为父母分别来自不同文化，会庆祝各自的传统节日。故选C项。 (2)题解析： 词句猜测题。根据第二段“When we walk towards the gift, our parents say “hot” and when we walk farther away, they say “cold”. We each receive one present every night of Hanukkah.(当我们朝着礼物走去时，父母会说‘热’；当我们走远时，他们会说“冷”。光明节的每个晚上我们都会各收到一份礼物。)”可知，“hot and cold”是光明节期间寻找隐藏礼物的一种游戏。故选A项。 (3)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第二段“On Hanukkah, like most Jewish families, we light some candles and say a prayer (祈祷) each night. We also say a special prayer on the first night. (在光明节，我们每晚都会点蜡烛、祈祷，第一晚还会说一段特别的祈祷文。)”和第三段“To celebrate Diwali, my family does prayers, in honour of the goddess Lakshmi. (为了庆祝排灯节，我们家会祈祷，以敬奉拉克希米女神。)”可知，两个节日的共同点是都会让家人进行祈祷。故选C项。 (4)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第一段“Though my mother makes jokes about us, I do not mind getting two sets of gifts! (尽管妈妈总拿这事跟我们开玩笑，但我可不在乎能收到双份礼物呀！)”、第二段“Another part I like about this holiday is seeing family members who we do not see often. My aunt usually stays for a few days, and we sometimes visit other relatives.(这个节日我另一个喜欢的点，就是能见到不常碰面的家人。姑姑通常会住上几天，我们有时还会去拜访其他亲戚。)”、第三段“We also set off firecrackers, which is my favorite part. (我们还会放鞭炮，这是我最喜欢的部分。)”可知，作者对两个节日都持积极态度。故选B项。 主题语境02 人与自然-自然生态 （25-26高一上·甘肃兰州市第六十一中学·期中）Ashley Liberto and her dog Bentley have been inseparable since she got him eight years ago. When Bentley had trouble walking a few years ago, Liberto was worried. “I took him to the pet hospital. He was diagnosed (诊断) with an amputated (截肢) right elbow and would need a prosthetic leg,” Liberto says. Luckily, the surgery (外科手术) was a success. After Bentley started moving again on three legs, Liberto decided to get a custom prosthetic leg (定制的假肢) for him. When she saw the cost of custom dog prosthetics, the teacher at Providence Day School in Charlotte, North Carolina reached out to some of her former students for help in finding a more affordable choice. Providence Day School has a class focused on computer- aided design (计算机辅助设计) and 3D printing. The teacher, Todd Johnson, says, “It’s an introductory level class that teaches students to make basic shapes using the technology. But when Liberto suggested trying to make a prosthetic leg for her dog, the students were excited to help and try something new.” “I thought it was a chance for the students to see a real- world application of what they were learning at school. I knew once the students started thinking about it seriously, they would come up with excellent designs,” Johnson says. The class broke up into small groups to come up with designs for Bentley. Team leader Brandon Hollis and his group came up with the winning design. Hollis group spent weeks creating a prosthetic leg for Bentley. “It fit way better than I could have hoped for. It still needs some small changes, and then it should fit perfectly,” Hollis says. The students hope to have a finished custom ( adj.量身设计的) and comfortable prosthetic leg for Bentley in the next few weeks. Even though the class has ended, the young designers have continued the project on their own time. 1.What happened to Bentley? A. He was hit by a car. B. He had a terrible illness. C. He got lost on his way home. D. He got separated from his owner. 2.What did Liberto do for Bentley? A. She provided some students to play with him. B. She tried to get a new leg for him. C. She gave him some walking training. D. She found a new home for him. 3.How did the students feel about making a leg? A. It was a piece of cake to them. B. They were excited to try something new prosthetic C. They didn’t take it seriously. D. It was too hard for them to finish. 4.What does Johnson expect of his students? A. They can put what they’re learning in the classroom into practice. B. They can think carefully about what they want to learn. C. They can pay some attention to animal protection. D. They can develop new 3D printing technology. 5.What is Hollis and his group’s plan for the next few weeks? A. Sharing their design with others. B. Offering free design courses. C. Making their design better. D. Introducing a new design. 【答案】1. B　2. B　3. B　4. A　5.

By the start of her senior year in September 2024, the teen from Monroe, had been found having Burkitt lymphoma. “It’s one of the most serious cancers (癌症),” says Dr. John Bergsagel. “It can double in size every 24 hours.” “I didn’t really believe it,” Aubrey said. “I was just living a normal life. There’s no way I have cancer. I’m fine. And then when they told me, I was like, ‘Are you all serious?’ Like, I didn’t really know what to feel.” The good news is that there is a good chance of recovering well if given treatment (治疗) in time. Aubrey spent much of the fall season of her senior year in the hospital. For three months, Aubrey stood painful treatment, which caused mouth sores (溃疡). Her mother, Chancey Barnett, said she couldn’t open her mouth, making eating and talking difficult. Through it all, Aubrey’s spirit remained strong. After finishing treatment in December, she took part in a state cheer-leading competition and returned to the track team, where she broke her personal record. Aubrey marked her high school graduation on May 20, 2025 at Walnut Grove High School. At the graduation, the President Allen said, “Aubrey graduated with straight A’s and is headed to Emmanuel University. Her victory over cancer while continuing to stand out in school is a great example of what willpower and hope can achieve. Her strength, courage, and uplifting spirit have moved our school community. We are proud of her.” Her mother spoke about how Aubrey’s cancer journey deeply influenced their family and her daughter’s future. Now Aubrey plans to run track and study nursing or exercise science. Encouraged by the care she received, she’s also considering a job in nursing. “I started a GoFundMe to help buy gifts and care products for other patients at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta. I want to work there when I get older. I think that I could help other kids get through their tough times.” Aubrey says. 1.How did Aubrey feel about having got cancer at first? A.

I’ll always remember that day, when I was so surprised by all the strange looks everyone was giving me. Those thoughts will always stay with me. And I couldn’t believe I would lose the friendship of the person I trusted the most. Five years back, Sally was the new kid in class. I don’t know what it was, but something unusual about her drew me to her. She was the most friendly person I knew. We started as classmates, but after a few months, we were like best friends. So, I never expected her to hurt me in such a big way. I don’t know what made me tell Sally about my personal life. She made the matter bigger than it was, adding her own spin (倾向性描述) on it and telling everyone at school. It was like someone had done something bad in the back. After she let out my secrets, everyone at school started laughing at me, looking at me whenever I passed by. After this terrible situation, I changed schools. Sally called me many times, but I didn’t answer. My heart was broken. I tried hard to heal (治愈) from the hurt she left on my heart. I started a new life. After five years, my life went back to the way it was, with new friends. But one day, I met Anna at the market. She was my classmate from 3rd grade. She told me that Sally wasn’t the one who brought my secrets to light. Mary was. Mary was our school’s big mouth who always wanted to stick her nose into other people’s business. I was all at sea (不知所措). I wished I could have asked Sally about this. I wished I could go back in time and fix my mistakes. From that, I learned a life lesson that we should trust those we love because one little mistake could really damage our lives. 1.What does the underlined part “spill the beans” in paragraph 1 mean?

It’s important to have confidence in our loved ones.

Rescue workers were called to Mossman, a town near Port Douglas, at about 12:40 am, where 18 people had to be moved to safety because of dangerous flooding and then were taken to an evacuation centre in the local library. Around 40,000 homes and businesses lost power, and the Captain Cook Highway was cut between Cairns and Port Douglas. Although Cyclone Jasper was downgraded to a tropical (热带的) low on Thursday, it was a wild night, bringing heavy rain and strong winds. Senior Meteorologist (气象学家) Laura Boekel said, “This event is not over. We have seen about half a meter of rainfall in the last 24 hours across Far North Queensland.” The Bureau of Meteorology warned of rising river levels in the Mossman River, which could reach levels similar to the floods in January 2019. Areas around Wujal Wujal, Cape Tribulation, and Port Douglas faced the worst of the cyclone, and nearby communities like Palm Cove and Cairns were also affected. A weather warning remained in place across Far North Queensland. People from Cooktown to Port Douglas were overnight warned to prepare for possible flooding. People in the storm’s path were being warned not to be fooled by the calm conditions inside the cyclone’s 70 km-wide eye, which was expected to take hours to cross over some areas. “The eye is really big,” Boekel said on Wednesday night. “There’s a period of calm conditions in the eye itself. But you can’t pick that time period. Please stay in a safe place and wait for the whole system to pass.” The cyclone was producing wind speeds of 140 km/h, with centre wind speeds of 100 km/h. 1.Why were rescue workers called to Mossman? A. A storm leveled the local library. B. Some highways were damaged there. C. People were stuck by the flood. D.

The filters allow users to edit photos and do things like making people’s skin look clearer, their eyes a little bigger or their lips a little fuller. Some filters also allow users to change their skin colour, and it can be hard to see when a photograph has been edited in this way. People under the age of 18 will be blocked from using these filters. Some of them are created by users and others are made by the app. TikTok posted the changes after a report by Internet matters, a children’s online safety organisation. The organisation found that these beauty filters could be harmful to children’s mental health because they put young people under pressure to look a certain way. This can harm children’s self-esteem (自尊) and cause worry, experts say. Christine Grahm from TikTok said on LinkedIn, “If our users don’t feel safe, they won’t bring their true selves to TikTok and the platform just wouldn’t be the same.” One TikTok user told The Guardian in 2022 that she had considered getting cosmetic surgery (美容手术) after a period of using beauty filters on the app. Fun filters that allow children to add dog noses or rabbit ears to images will still be OK to use. One problem with the ban (禁令) is that not all users enter their real ages when signing up to TikTok. The company said it would soon be trying out new machine learning systems that could help find out when users had entered the incorrect age, but it is under pressure to stop under 13s from using the platform by giving untrue dates of birth. Children’s safety organisations want all social media sites to do more to make the platforms safe spaces for young people. 1.What will TikTok do about certain beauty filters for young users? A. Test their safety. B. Post their advantages. C. Ban the use of them. D. Increase their users. 2.What is the influence of the beauty filters? A. It encourages creativity. B. It makes children worried. C. It develops self-esteem. D. It stops children from communicating. 3.Why is Christine Grahm mentioned in Paragraph 4? A. To show the harm of beauty filters. B. To make readers more interested. C. To warn children to stay away from Internet. D. To introduce cosmetic surgery. 4.What problem does TikTok have with the ban? A. Users might not like it. B. It’s hard to check how old users are. C. Users might misunderstand the rule. D. It doesn’t receive support from parents. 主题语境02 人与社会-社会服务与人际沟通 Passage 1 （25-26高一上·甘肃张掖市民乐县第一中学·期中）Researchers in Australia, who studied 1,500 people and their lifestyles, have found that having good friends can help you live longer. An American study of 10,000 students, over a period of 35 years, also found that if you make more friends than the average (普通的) person at school, you'll receive a higher salary (工资) in later life. People need good social skills at work to manage people and work in a team successfully. These are the same skills we use to make friends at school. On average, teenagers aged between 15 and 17 have 500 “friends” on their favourite social networking site. Adults have 130. So if you believe this research, you might live for a long time and be very rich. However, according to Professor Robin Dunbar from the University of Oxford, it probably won't make any difference. Dunbar studied the number of messages between users of a popular social networking website, each of whom had between 200 and 2,000 friends. He found that they always communicate with a maximum (最大量) of 150 people. Among these 150, Dunbar believes that around five people are close friends. You've most likely known them for a long time; they are probably old friends and you share all your good and bad experiences with them. Then there are ten more friends. Although they’re close to you, you may not keep in touch with them every week. Next there are 35 people who you might spend time with because of a shared interest. You aren't close. And finally, there's a large group of 100. You see or speak to these people at least once a year, but you don't know them well. Beyond this number, Dunbar says, it's impossible to make any relationship meaningful. If you have a lot of online “friends”, try this experiment: First take away anyone you haven't been in touch with for a year. Then remove people you can't remember and, finally, take away friends who you wouldn't mind losing touch with. How many do you have left? How many of these people are actually good friends? According to the research, these are the only people that really matter. 1.What are the studies in the first paragraph mainly about? A. Some useful advice on how to make friends. B. Some social skills you may need at work. C. The advantages of having a lot of friends. D. The number of friends you should have. 2.What is Robin Dunbar's attitude towards the studies? A. Disagreeable. B. Unclear. C. Hopeful. D. Careless. 3.What does the text mainly want to show? A. It's more important to have good friends than lots of friends. B. Friends are sometimes more important than family. C. There is a lot of research on the influence of friends. D. You need to spend more time with your friends. 4.In which part of a newspaper can we read the text? A. Nature. B. Technology. C. Lifestyle. D. Education. Passage 2 （25-26高一上·甘肃华池县第一中学·期中）Back in the day when I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do with my life, I was studying to become a firefighter. As a firefighter, you’re constantly thinking of other people and trying to help children. It’s the mindset, that is the most difficult part in this job! One night I was heading home and decided to stop off at a burrito (玉米饼) place. I was approached by a homeless man. He was very dirty and obviously hungry. He asked me for some change to buy a little food. As I was pulling some change out, I had an idea. I decided to see if he wanted to eat a real dinner, so I asked him to follow me back into the burrito joint to order. When he followed me in, the people behind the count er refused to let him in. After some arguing, so I had to encourage him to order whatever and however much he wanted. He ended up ordering enough to fill his stomach at least 3 times over! For someone who has been on the edges of society it seemed like he was very surprised at my kind behavior. But to me, it was what any “human being” should do or at least offer. I know we see these people every day asking for money but you had to be there to see the look in his face. To me it reminded me when I was young and my mom brought out a big birthday cake for me on my birthday, with all the candy, getting to experience a big meal. And I think he felt special, like he was getting attention. Again something that I could see he hadn’t experienced in a long time. I often think about this story, because to me it’s not just about helping someone out by feeding them, but giving him the respect of being a human being and allowing him to feel good about himself was very rewarding. 1.What’s the hardest part of being a firefighter according to the author? A. Learning to be a good firefighter. B. Deciding what to do in the future. C. Dealing with the brother’s relationship. D. Developing the mindset of helping others. 2.What do we know about the homeless man? A. He was grateful for the author’s kindness. B. He ordered whatever he wanted the moment he was in. C. He asked the author to buy a burrito to fill his stomach. D. He was not welcomed by those running the burrito joint at first. 3.What is the author’s purpose in mentioning the birthday cake? A. To think back to his own birthday at a young age. B. To explain the reason for the values he holds onto. C. To show the similar experience of the homeless man. D. To tell the difference between him and the homeless man. 4.Which of the following words can best describe the writer? A. Caring and humorous. B. Selfless and determined. C. Kind-hearted and thoughtful. D. Considerate and Hard-working. 主题语境03 人与自我-生活与学习 Passage 1 （25-26高一上·甘肃兰州市第一中学·期中）What do working mothers worry about the most? It’s the kids, of course. Whatever the setting, the question I get asked the most is “Will the kids be alright?” It’s made me realise that we tend to look at the glass half-empty rather than half-filled when it comes to mixing work and family. We forget about all the benefits that we bring to our children when we work—and I’m not talking about the obvious financial benefits, although these of course shouldn’t be taken for granted. About a year ago I remember getting a call from the school just as I was pulling up to the house after having driven 20 minutes to the school and 20 minutes back.” Mrs. Brown, your son asked us to call. He forgot his sports clothes. Can you come back to the school and drop them off?” I was annoyed! I had already spent 40 minutes in aggressive weekday morning traffic. I replied, “Sorry, I’m working at the moment. I’m afraid my son needs to learn to be organised.” Being a good parent requires delivering tough love sometimes. Kids need to learn to be independent. It can be a cruel and competitive world out there. Seeking interests, including business, outside of your kids, can give you that extra idea that you need not care for your kids with attention. This benefit of working isn’t always immediately evident. It wasn’t until our daughter went away to college that she realised why we had raised her in the way that we did. “Mom, I can’t believe how so many of my friends struggle to manage things on their own. They are constantly calling their parents for help. “You’ll love that moment! After all those years of complaining about why you don’t do this or why you don’t give them that, your kids realise that tough love has made them better people. 1.The author refused to drop off her son’s sports clothes because . A. She was caught in heavy traffic B. She was busy working C. She thought her son was lying D. She wanted her son to be organised 2.How can kids become better people according to the author? A. By giving them all your attention. B. By giving them freedom to do everything. C. By showing them your deep love. D. By offering them tough love sometimes. 3.The daughter finds the author’s way of raising her when she grows up. A. surprising B. unbelievable C. acceptable D. disappointing 4.Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. The Financial Benefits of Working Mothers for Kids B. Tough Love from Working Mothers: A Gift to Kids C. How Working Mothers Deal with Kids’ School Problems D.

When I was in the Philippines, I attended a small all-girl private school. While in Chicago I went to a public senior high school. It was a big change for me. The school was new, everyone was different, and people there were also diverse. I had never met so many kinds of people in just one place. I was scared during the first day of school. I didn’t know anyone. I got lost since the school was huge. I really didn’t know what to do. I just wanted to cry. Luckily, a girl of my age came to me. “Are you in trouble?” she asked me smilingly. At first I was too shy to say anything. But she looked very kind. “I’m lost. I can’t find my classroom,” I said. “Don’t worry. Let me help you, ” said the girl. So I told the girl where I was going. Luckily, she just knew that place and she took me there. On the way, the girl said she was a new student too and asked about me. When she knew I just came to the city, she said I could turn to her whenever I needed help. I was really thankful hearing that. Before the girl left, she said with a smile, “I’m sure you’ll make some new friends here soon.” What she said gave me great courage and confidence. In the following weeks, I made a lot of new friends and met so many people. My friends took me out to movies, road trips and concerts in our free time.

Passage 4 （25-26高一上·甘肃西北师范大学附属中学·期中）On a bright July day in the Nangili, Kenya, the kids from the village gathered at Blessed Children's Home, a shelter for 11 orphans, to kick around a soccer ball made from waste plastic bags tied tightly together with rope. Blessed Children’s Home has no running water, television or social media. They live on a diet mostly consisting of rice and vegetables. For drinking water, they use collected rainwater and water drawn from a hand-dug unfiltered well. The living conditions were tough for my 15-year-old brother Caleb and me to get used to, but we quickly came to understand that these kids in Nangili have something that many American kids lack. They have friendships resulting from the sufferings they have experienced together, and they have learned to enjoy the simple things in life. Caleb and I are runners on the Farmingdale High School cross-country track team, and we went to Kenya to train at the High Altitude Training Centre in Iten. The training we received from Kenya’s world-class runners was excellent, but our most memorable experiences in Kenya were with the orphans at Blessed Children’s Home. When we arrived there, the children welcomed us warmly. Although Nangili is a very poor village with few resources, its children find joy in playing card games and soccer. We spent many hours a day with them, laughing, running, competing, and playing. Although I missed Farmingdale when I was in Kenya, I gained a new appreciation for all the things we have here. Now I will try to live a life that is more thankful and more focused on people than on things. I want to study business in college so I can help set up social enterprises in Africa that would give opportunities to kids like the orphans I met. They have taught me more than I ever imagined. I realize now that I can learn the deepest life lessons from people with whom I might have thought I had little in common.

The teenager and her little dog were set on Saturday to take off on a month-long journey around Australia’s coastline, in an adventurous effort that would make her the youngest pilot to fly around the country. Her parents, who have been flying for about 26 years, will complete the same journey in a separate plane. Jennifer said many of these places may only be short stops to refuel (加油), while others may include overnight stays. The two will fly in a seven-year-old plane that Jennifer has flown for about two months. It can also go on the land and water. Before her journey, the teenager has put some personal touches on the plane. Close to the front, near the door, many names — like parents and instructors (教练) — are shown. “They’re all the people that have helped to get this trip to come along,” she said. “Without them, we wouldn’t be here.” Jennifer, who is not yet old enough to drive a car, has previously flown in a “Foxbat” airplane. She wasn’t worried about her little dog, Bella, causing trouble on the flight, but she still packed many dog pads (软垫) just in case. Jennifer said Bella didn’t have much flying experience and had only been on two flights. To keep Bella from jumping around and make sure it’s safe to fly, she will be in a wooden box during the flight. As for her record-breaking achievements, Jennifer said that becoming Australia’s youngest female pilot was far from her first goal — beating her 26-year-old brother to a pilot’s license. “Until one day, when I Googled ‘Who’s the youngest female pilot in Australia?’, it turns out that it was me,” she said. 1.What do we know about Jennifer’s family?

Passage 2 （25-26高一上·甘肃靖远县第一中学·期中）Whenever it comes to holidays, my mother makes fun of my sister and me about how we “make out like robbers (强盗)”. She is pointing to the fact that we are half Jewish and half Indian, so we receive gifts on both the festivals of lights, Hanukkah and Diwali. Though my mother makes jokes about us, I do not mind getting two sets of gifts! Hanukkah is celebrated on the 25th day of the Jewish month, which is usually sometime in December. On Hanukkah, like most Jewish families, we light some candles and say a prayer (祈祷) each night. We also say a special prayer on the first night. After that, it is a tradition for my sister and me to do “hot and cold” for our hidden Hanukkah gifts. When we walk towards the gift, our parents say “hot” and when we walk farther away, they say “cold”. We each receive one present every night of Hanukkah. Another part I like about this holiday is seeing family members who we do not see often. My aunt usually stays for a few days, and we sometimes visit other relatives. Diwali is celebrated on the 13th day of the dark fortnight of the month of Ashwin (October/ November). To celebrate Diwali, my family does prayers, in honour of the goddess Lakshmi. Since she is the goddess of wealth and prosperity (繁荣), the prayers include washing silver coins in milk and water. In India, people decorate their houses with lamps, similar to the way you might light up your house for Christmas. My family just place a few candles outside. We also set off firecrackers, which is my favorite part. We often do this activity with friends to add to the excitement. Both holidays have different histories and stories. We celebrate them in different ways, yet they both have the same meaning. They both translate into Festival of Lights, and they both mean family and presents for me! 1.Why does the author receive gifts on both Hanukkah and Diwali? A. She lives in a wealthy family. B. She lives in two different countries. C. Her parents like celebrating their different cultures. D. Her parents like spending money buying gifts for her. 2.What does the underlined part “hot and cold” in paragraph 2 refer to (指代)? A. A kind of Hanukkah game. B. A secret written on lights. C. A sort of Hanukkah gift. D. A kind of festival drink. 3.What do Hanukkah and Diwali have in common? A. They share the same history. B. They are both celebrated in December. C. They get the families to do their prayers. D. They are both connected to the birth of lights. 4.What is the author’s attitude towards Hanukkah and Diwali? A. Unclear. B. Positive. C. Worried. D. Disappointed. 主题语境02 人与自然-自然生态 （25-26高一上·甘肃兰州市第六十一中学·期中）Ashley Liberto and her dog Bentley have been inseparable since she got him eight years ago.

It still needs some small changes, and then it should fit perfectly,” Hollis says.
