专题03 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 （2026·甘肃多校第二阶段考试）Despite living in a silent world for more than two decades, Zhan Junyi who has been deaf from birth has become a professional dancer on stage, with music now audible through an artificial cochlea (人工耳蜗). On occasion, he watched the beautiful dance presentation Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, or Thousand-Hand Bodhisattva (千手观音), performed by the China Disabled People’s Performing Art Troupe on TV. “The dance was well performed by the dancers with hearing loss, and I was moved by their excellent skills and strength,” he said. “At that time, I dreamed of being a dancer like them.” He began to watch videos of dance performances and competitions to do the dance movements. To keep up with the rhythm, he needed an artificial cochlea — a device that sends vibrations (震动) to the hearing nerve — in his ears. “With the help of the device, I can feel the vibrations of music,” he said, “but it will easily fall out when I have big movements, so I have to wear a hair band to help keep it on.” Yet through perseverance (毅力), he excelled at dancing and was admitted to the China Disabled People’s Performing Art Troupe in 2015. In 2021, he was admitted to Changchun University to study dance. He has gained rich experience, including performing at the opening and closing ceremonies of the Beijing 2022 Paralympic Winter Games and 2023 Spring Festival Gala. “I have studied modern dance, classical dance and ballet. I especially like classical dance,” he said, “Dancing brings me confidence and makes me happier and stronger. I hope to be a teacher in the future to help children with hearing loss learn dance and feel its charm.” 1.What made Zhan Junyi decide to become a dancer? A.

Her son, James, a Navy flight surgeon, was fatally injured in a mission and passed away. It was time for Lynn to honour the spirit of a man who had switched from studying commerce engineering to medicine because he wanted to help people. Lynn instructed the hospital to begin the organ donation process. These few words, as hard as they were to say, would soon ripple (扩散) outward, allowing a man to return to work, a veteran (老兵) to regain his health, and a cyclist to get back on his bike. Mike was diagnosed with leukemia (白血病) in 2004. Six years of treatment and exercise paid off. To celebrate his sixth year without cancer, Mike decided to ride his bike to New York. Unfortunately, his health deteriorated and one evening in 2017, he started having chest pains. That was when a mother’s very worst day became a stranger’s best. James’ heart was beating in the cancer survivor’s chest now. The morning he woke up from the transplant, Mike found himself recharged. Of the four letters Lynn had sent to the recipients, one reached Mike. Lynn described her son’s devotion to his country, the fact that he considered everyone a friend, and his love for scuba diving, snowboarding, and motorcycling. These pages painted a picture of just how special his new heart was. Mike carefully composed a response, accurately expressing his gratitude and communicating his desire to stay in touch with James’ family. It was a balm (药膏) for a wound that Lynn felt would never heal. And so began the emails and texts. She even began following Mike’s Instagram posts. “Knowing he was doing well really helped,” she says. During his recovery, Mike had hatched a plan to cycle cross-country again, from the hospital that treated him to James’ grave. When he began the 1,430-mile journey in 2019, Lynn followed anxiously on his Instagram. Despite setbacks — steep climbs, wrong turns, flat tires — Mike pressed on. On November 20, he arrived at James’ grave, where Lynn waited. They hugged. Then came the tears — not of sorrow, but relief. A part of James lived on, and two strangers connected by loss and hope became family. 1.What does the underlined word “deteriorated” mean in paragraph 2? A. Declined. B. Improved. C. Recovered. D. Promoted. 2.What is the main idea of paragraph 4? A. Mother’s love for her son. B. James’ amazing personalities. C. Mike’s thoughtful response. D. Interaction between Lynn and Mike. 3.Why did Mike cycle cross-country in 2019? A. To test his physical strength B. To show his great gratitude. C. To raise fund for organ donation. D. To pick up his former hobby. 4.What is the best title for the text? A. Organ donation matters B. A great heart beats on C. A cross-country cyclist survives D.

And yes, it’s good to get along well with your teacher because, in general, it’s smart to learn how to get along well with the different types of people you’ll meet throughout your life. In fact, kids who got along well with their teachers not only learn more, but they’re more comfortable with asking questions and getting extra help. This makes it easier for them to understand new materials and makes them do their best on tests.

By dealing with a problem like this, you learn something about how to get along with people who are different from you. However, if a certain teacher isn’t your favorite, you can still have a successful relationship with him or her, if you take your basic responsibilities as a student.

For Huo Zhiyi, this year’s Dragon Boat Festival was surely one to remember. Instead of having a holiday dinner at a restaurant, the 21-year-old junior student and her classmates from Shenyang Agricultural University cooked for themselves in a shared kitchen. This new shared kitchen, which covers 340 square meters on the second floor of the university’s First Dining Hall, including a 22-square-meter cooking area, opened early last month. Students can use cookware and appliances (electric equipment) such as pans, ovens, and freezers, and various stuffs, like cooking oil, salt, and sugar, for free — all provided by the university. All they have to prepare is the basic ingredients (食材), such as meat and fresh vegetables. “The three-day holiday was too short for us to return to our hometowns, so we decided to spend the festival together on campus. We all felt bored of the dining halls and take-out food. The newly opened shared kitchen has given us a space to cook for ourselves.” The shared kitchen has quickly gained popularity with students and it is hard to find an available (可用的) stove, especially during meal times. “We had to book it a week in advance,” Huo said. The six young students worked for nearly three hours in the kitchen to cook eight dishes. “It was not as easy as we thought,” she said. The time spent in cooking has helped them communicate and cooperate more. “Compared with unhealthy take-out food, most college students desire hometown-style dishes or their favorite specialties, but it’s hard to find them in campus dining halls,” said Yi Guangcheng, director of the First Dining Hall. “The shared kitchen can help make their wishes come true. Meanwhile, it provides an opportunity to develop friendship and enrich social life. Delicious food is always a good bridge of communication,” he said. In addition to providing more convenience for the students, the shared kitchen also focuses on education, according to Ge Pengye, director of the university’s food center. “It is a creative feature of the university in quality education. We hope students can learn the basic life skill of cooking before they step out into society.” 1.What’s the writing purpose of Paragraph 1? A. To offer an example. B. To introduce a topic. C. To make a comparison. D. To present an argument. 2.What does a student need to prepare before cooking in the shared kitchen? A. Pans. B. Salt. C. Ovens. D. Beef. 3.Which benefit of the shared kitchen is NOT mentioned in the passage? A. Enriching social life. B. Developing friendship. C. Increasing the sales of take-out food. D. Learning the basic life skill of cooking. 4.What’s the author’s attitude towards the shared kitchen? A. Positive B. Confusing. C. Negative. D. Indifferent. 主题语境01 人与社会-历史、社会与文化 （25-26高二上·甘肃武威市民勤县·期中）At 66, Kent fondly recalled the magic of attending his first Louisiana State University (LSU) football game in 1968, where “The Golden Band from Tigerland” attracted him with their lively music and excellent performances. From that moment on, Kent held onto a dream: to one day march with the band. As he neared retirement, Kent decided it was time to pursue this long-held dream. With enthusiasm, he shared his plans with his family: he was going back to school at LSU and trying out for the band. The first step involved taking up the tuba (大号) again, an instrument he hadn’t played regularly in about fifty years. Not giving up, Kent committed to hours of practice, filling his neighborhood with the joyful sounds of his instrument as he prepared for the challenge ahead. He also made exercise a daily habit, including strength training and running to ensure he was ready for the demands of marching band life. Soon, Kent entered LSU, starting a new chapter alongside students who were nearly five decades his junior. When the time for marching band tryouts arrived in early August, he gave it his all, eagerly awaiting the results to see if he could step onto the dream football field. As the list was out, Kent felt the excitement built. “There was a countdown in the Tuba room…30 seconds, 15 seconds, 10 seconds, and right at 7 pm, the marching band list came out,” he recalled. The joy was obvious as he learned he had made the band, becoming the oldest member by an impressive 41 years. Last Saturday, Kent proudly took the field in his purple and gold uniform, tuba in hand. The stadium (体育场) was alive with music and cheers, including the voices of his loving wife and daughters, who were there to support him. Surrounded by the lively atmosphere that attracted him as a child, Kent’s story serves as an inspiration for others. “People can use this as an example — your only failure is not trying,” he encourages. “If you don’t try, you won’t get there.” 1.What can we learn about Kent’s 1968 experience? A. It was full of imagination. B. It disappointed him deeply. C. It affected his school grades. D. It inspired his lifelong interest. 2.What can we know about Kent’s effort to achieve his goal? A. It needed both musical and physical preparation. B. It was supported by professional musicians. C. It mainly involved memorizing old songs. D. It attracted numerous seniors to join him. 3.How did Kent’s family support his pursuit? A. By joining the band with him. B. By attending his performance. C. By buying him a new instrument. D. By helping him train physically. 4.What does Kent’s story show? A. Knowledge starts with practice. B. Don’t judge a book by its cover. C. Where there’s a will, there’s a way. D.

A new climate-modeling study has found that wind and solar power plants throughout the Sahara Desert (撒哈拉大沙漠) could increase rainfall across the area and benefit plants’ growth. When it comes to the Sahara Desert, here come the opinions of the researchers. For one, there’s plenty of sunlight and plenty of wind over the sandy areas. It’s also close to Europe and the Middle East, which need great amounts of energy. What’s more, wind and solar power plants that cover about 9 million kilometers of the desert could provide about 3 terawatts (太瓦) and 79 terawatts of electricity separately. That would meet global energy needs several times over. The researchers also tried to find out how such large power plants would affect the area’s climate and plants. It was found that temperatures would increase — which might sound difficult to understand in the desert — but this would also raise the amount of water in the air and double the amount of rainfall. That’s a fair trade, as this place could become green with even a little increase in rainfall. “We found that the large-scale solar and wind power plants can bring more rainfall and help with plants’ growth in these areas. It’s great to think that instead of burning coal or oil and creating disastrous climate change, we could use clean energy to produce positive climate change and change a desert into a beautiful place with water and trees,” explained Eugenia Kalnay, a researcher of the study. 1.What is the second paragraph mainly about? A. How people affect the Sahara Desert. B. Why we need large-scale power plants. C. How power plants can be helpful to the surroundings. D. Why the Sahara Desert is perfect for building power plants. 2.What will happen to the desert according to the study? A. It will become colder. B. It will attract more tourists. C. The temperature will be higher there. D. The trade there will increase greatly. 3.How does Eugenia Kalnay comment on building large-scale wind and solar power plants in the Sahara Desert? A. It is a win-win chance. B. It needs to be studied further. C. It will face greater difficulties. D. It will be achieved within decades. 4.What is the best title for the text? A. Wind and solar power plants produce clean energy B. Power plants could bring rains to the Sahara Desert C. The Sahara Desert may disappear after a new project D. The world will need more electricity in the future 主题语境03 人与自我-生活与学习 Passage 1 （25-26高二上·甘肃兰州多校联考·期中）When Tina Farr visits the year 2 classroom at her Oxford primary school, she can feel the change in atmosphere since play was put firmly back on the curriculum (课程). “The children come running up with things they have made. There is always a shop on the go so they will be pricing up something or finding change,” the headteacher says. Play-based learning — letting children move around, make up games and explore within loosely guided activities — usually stops when they attend primary school. Lessons then become desk-based, focused on reading and writing. Farr had long championed the value of play, working hard to bring it into break time. “Teachers would recognize what we do and it doesn’t take any more planning than the standard approach.” With play-based learning in place for her year 1 and 2 children, Farr then looked at where else she could change any practices that weren’t working. “If a practice isn’t in line with healthy child development, why are we doing it?” The school’s year 5 children — aged nine and 10 — were struggling to sit still in a tight space so she removed all the furniture. “The impact was immediate and impressive. Children now choose where and how to learn. A class once struggling with attention is now calm and engaged.” A teacher noted: “Their self-regulation has improved greatly. They settle down to work much more readily.” Farr believes the outdated system needs urgent change. “We have neuroscience (神经科学) that shows us children learn through play.” In June the school sailed through its OFSTED inspection. “The inspector really understood our play-based learning.” Farr’s message is that her approach can be rolled out. “It’s blown my mind how engaged the children are. It’s phenomenal (了不起的),” she says. 1.Which of the following best describes “play-based learning”? A. Children following clear instructions to complete art projects. B. Children creating their own games and exploring personal interests. C. Children completing academic worksheets at their desks. D. Children memorizing facts through repetitive classroom drills. 2.Why did Farr implement play-based learning? A. To reduce teaching preparation time. B. To improve exam performance. C. To support child development. D. To attract media attention. 3.How did the fifth graders respond to the new classroom arrangement? A. Became more distracted. B. Gained better concentration. C. Grew more independent. D. Developed stronger opinions. 4.What does the final paragraph emphasize about Farr’s approach? A. Its scientific basis. B. Its implementation costs. C. Its popularity with parents. D. Its academic achievements. Passage 2 （25-26高二上·甘肃兰州多校联考·期中）Everyone has a different idea about what achieving success involves. For some, they want to lose weight. For others, they desire to build a business that creates financial freedom. Whatever success means to you, it has probably shaped you over the years by the images you see of people in creating success for themselves. Social media has millions of daily users that are sharing information about their life and business. You see their stories of success and wins. It’s not uncommon for people to share successes without talking about the struggle on the path to accomplishing those. As a matter of fact, we can’t see the whole picture when someone shares his/her wins. In other words, we get caught in the comparison trap which can weaken the success-seekers. If you’re going to reach new growth levels and accomplish your goals, you’ll need to stop chasing a false image of success. The Internet and social media have created a culture in which individuals can instantly get a sense of satisfaction with themselves. You post an achievement, and immediate praise follows. That satisfaction is exciting and makes individuals want to experience it often. The vanity(虚荣心) causes false decision about what’s going on in someone’s life. If your image of success is this vanity-driven false one, your looking into someone else’s success journey is a surface-level glance. You can’t base what you do and the decisions you make on the little bit you see. A smart strategy is when you see success, model it and use what you see from others as motivation. But don’t let a surface-level image be your driving force towards your goals. A false image of success has held you back for far too long. Let the false images of success come and go. After all, attitude drives actions. Actions drive results. Results drive lifestyles. 1.What is the common practice of the successful people? A. They are always shaped by other people’s success. B. They often compare their success with others’. C. They don’t mention their hard work for success. D. They’d like to share their advantages over others. 2.What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 3 refer to? A. A culture. B. A new growth level. C. The path to success. D. The sense of satisfaction. 3.How should we view other people’s success? A. By copying it with great ambition. B. By creating an image of our own success. C. By motivating ourselves to achieve our goals. D. By making comparisons to find out our shortcomings. 4.What does the author mainly intend to tell us? A. We can seek for success in different ways. B. We should not chase a false image of success. C. We can turn our goals into reality on our own. D. We’d better not make a decision based on social media. Passage 3 （25-26高二上·甘肃兰州大学附属中学·期中）My life experience is anything but ordinary. Raised by my hardworking single mother on Australia’s Gold Coast, I was encouraged to pursue higher education. Though I ranked top academically, my passion was cooking, a path my mother hesitated to support due to its challenges. To please her, I attended university while working part-time as a chef. However, my love for the kitchen soon surpassed my studies, and I dropped out to pursue cooking full-time. Over the next 12 years, I climbed the ranks as a chef, landing head chef positions in North Queensland. Life seemed perfect—I was engaged, had great friends and enjoyed stability. Yet, a lingering restlessness grew within me. A trip to Bali became a turning point. I realized I desired something beyond conventional (守旧) existence. Despite guilt, I walked away from my settled life, returning to my mother’s home on the Gold Coast. Soon, I fell back into old patterns—working in kitchens and feeling unfulfilled. Then, Instagram changed everything. As an early user, I poured my creativity into the platform, discovering a talent for photography and storytelling. By 2012, my audience grew to 200,000 followers, and tourism boards began reaching out. Recognizing the opportunity, I quit my job to pursue travel photography and social media full-time. The early days were tough. I created a “solo influencer package”, offering brands social media content, photography and campaign reports. As a pioneer in Australia’s influencer market, my services became highly popular. I traveled on and on—50 trips a year at my peak—while expanding into consulting, public speaking, and project management. Now, I run a multifaceted (多层面) business, including photography, social media, and travel. I co-founded the Travel Bootcamp, 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 wife’s homeland, combining my passions with conservation and community support. My journey has been challenging yet deeply fulfilling. Money is no longer the main driver—instead, I seek meaningful experiences and opportunities to inspire others. What began as a small idea has grown into a life of adventure, creativity and purpose. 1.What does the underlined word “surpassed” in paragraph 1 mean? A. Went beyond. B. Broke up. C. Controlled. D. Improved. 2.Why did the author quit his job in North Queensland? A. He wanted to make a trip to Bali. B. He didn’t enjoy working in the kitchen. C. He was eager to experience more in life. D. He preferred to live a conventional life. 3.What is the main idea of paragraph 4? A. Why Instagram changed the author’s mindset. B. Why followers liked to read the author’s posts. C. How Internet benefited millions of online users. D. How the author started a career as a solo influencer. 4.What message does the text convey? A. Big results require big ambitions. B. The future is built on great ideas. C. Bravery never goes out of fashion. D. Your heart is the birthplace of dreams. 主题语境04 人与自然-自然生态 （25-26高二上·甘肃天水市秦安县第一中学·期中）Antarctic blue whales have been perceived again in the sub-Antarctic island of South Georgia. An international team of researchers discovered the animals five decades after whaling nearly caused them to disappear forever. “The ocean resources at South Georgia were very heavily developed during the early 20th-century industrial whaling.” says lead author Susannah Calderan, an ecologist with the Scottish Association for Marine Science (SAMS). Antarctic blue whales were plentiful in the area until whaling began there in 1904, kicking off the beginning of industrial whaling in the Southern Ocean. While hunters originally focused on species that could be easily captured, like the humpback whale, the focus quickly moved to the blue whale. Between 1904 and 1973. 345,775 Antarctic blue whales were killed in the Southern hemisphere and in the northern Indian Ocean. Around South Georgia, blue whale catches were reported year-round. Between 1904 and 1971, industrial whaling killed 42,698 blue whales. Blue whales almost disappeared in these areas. For the study, researchers studied all Antarctic blue whale data from the last three decades. They examined sightings from scientific surveys collected by observers on ships, as well as opportunistic sightings reported by seamen and ship passengers to the South Georgia Museum. They also examined acoustic (声音的) recordings of blue whale vocalizations (发声). They found that whale surveys from ships off South Georgia resulted in just one blue whale sighting between 1998 and 2018. But more recent surveys suggest better news. A survey in February 2020 found nearly 60 blue whale sightings, and several acoustic detections (探测). A total of 41 blue whales have been recognized through photos from South Georgia between 2011 and 2020. “Their return is very meaningful, as it was widely thought that blue whales at South Georgia might have been hunted beyond a point where they could recover, and might never be seen again in great numbers at South Georgia,” Calderan says. “Our research shows that populations can recover even from very low levels if they’re given enough protection.” 1.What does the underlined word “perceived” in Paragraph 1 mean? A. Discovered. B. Hunted. C. Kept. D. Destroyed. 2.What does Paragraph 3 mainly want to tell us? A. The development of industrial whaling. B. The wide spread of blue whales in the past. C. The popularity of blue whale meat among customers. D. The cause of blue whales’ disappearance in some areas. 3.What did the researchers find through their survey in South Georgia? A. There will be more return of blue whales. B. The number of blue whales has increased. C. More and more people like watching blue whale. D. South Georgia is a good place to watch blue whales. 4.What might be discussed in the following paragraph? A. The risk of killing whales at higher rates. B. The sign that Antarctic blue whales will return. C. The way of protecting Antarctic blue whales. D. The loss of ocean resources caused by human activity. 主题语境01 人与社会-历史、社会与文化 （25-26高二上·甘肃天水市秦安县第一中学·期中）Ash Barty, the world’s No.1 women’s tennis player, shocked the sports world by announcing that she would leave the tennis court forever. Barty made the announcement in a video she made public on the social media site, Instagram. In the video she discussed her thoughts about retiring with her good friend Casey Dellacqua.

When he showed me his country on the map, I was attracted by its shape. It looks like a high-heeled boot (高跟靴) in the Mediterranean Sea that’s kicking a strange-shaped ball. Can you find the name of this ball on the world map? Marco told me that he loves cars and that his country is well-known for super-fast cars like Ferrari, Lamborghini, Alfa Romeo, and Maserati. Isn’t it cool? The people also love soccer here. They call it “Calcio.” He told me that they have won four World Cups. The most recent win was in 2006! When he shared this with me, he was very excited and full of pride. We visited the country’s capital and I was amazed to find that it was more than 2500 years old! We walked around and soon it was time for dinner. Marco told me that people there eat pasta (意大利面食) at least once a day. The different sauces and toppings (酱汁和佐料) mean they never get bored of it. Also, they love including seasonal vegetables in their dinners. I couldn’t wait to enjoy the pizza and pasta with different toppings and sauces. The cappuccino and focaccia bread also made me happy. It’s no wonder that the world has adopted so much of their food! The people in this country celebrate many holidays and enjoy eating big meals with their family. The festive atmosphere makes everyone happy. I was lucky to travel to this country in March and enjoy the Bologna Children’s Book Fair. It is held for four days every year.

Some people are working on the land, and I can hear their laughter. I tell myself that one day I’ll be back. But for now, it’s time to say goodbye. I’m leaving the eco-village where I’ve spent the past six years. My husband and I first arrived in Los Molinos, Spain, after a long stay in London. Our experience of eco-living was limited to regular recycling. In Spain, we had to learn how to live completely off-grid. All our electricity came from the solar panels, which meant we couldn’t have energy-hungry devices like toasters and electric kettles. We even had to give up the Internet because there was no connection. We harvested fruits and grew vegetables. In many ways it was paradise (天堂). The Sun shone most of the year. And I made friends with people I would never have met otherwise. And yet after six years, we knew it was time to leave. Our parents, back in England, were getting older and would need support. As a writer, I could work anywhere. Indeed, while in the eco-village, I finished a novel and two biographies. When we came back, the contrast between the clear, bright blue skies of Los Molinos and these seemingly ubiquitous (无处不在的) blanket of gray cloud that covered England was a shock. Almost immediately we missed the delicious Spanish dishes and the wild landscape with its vast empty spaces. The experience of eco-living was not wasted, however. I drew on those six years living in Spain for my new novel. It proved inspirational in other ways, too. While living in Los Molinos, we learned how to make cheap, nutritious dishes. We lived without central heating, and survived the freezing winter nights. As the cost of living in London continues to rise, I’ll be able to draw on these experiences. We were back with our cat and each time I look at him — occasionally addressing him in Spanish — I’m reminded of my time in that eco-paradise and the lessons it taught me. 1.What does the underlined word “off-grid” mean in paragraph 2? A. Without daily necessities. B. Without outside contact. C. Without electrical devices. D. Without public power supply. 2.Why did the author and her husband leave Los Molinos? A. To publish her works. B. To apply for a job. C. To care for their parents. D. To have a warm winter. 3.What can be inferred about the author from paragraph 5? A. She was shocked to see the changes in England. B. She found it hard to live sustainably in England. C. She was likely to return to Spain with her parents. D. She had a strong attachment to her life in Spain. 4.What did the author think of her experience of eco-living? A. Tough. B. Valuable. C. Inconvenient. D. Peaceful. / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $函学科网 www.zxxk.com 专题03阅读理解（记叙文+议论文 基础必练 主题语境01人与社会-历史、社会与文化 【答案】1.A2.B3.A4D 主题语境02人与社会-社会服务与人际沟通 【答案】1.A2.D3.B4.B 主题语境03人与自我-做人与做事 【答案】1.B2.B3.C4.D 主题语境04人与自我-生活与学习 【答案】1.B2.D3.C4.A 进阶提升 主题语境01人与社会-历史、社会与文化 【答案】1.D2.A3.B4.C 主题语境02人与社会-科学与技术 【答案】1.D2.C3.A4.B 主题语境03人与自我-生活与学习 Passage 1 【答案】1.B2.C3.B4.A 112 让教与学更高效 +新闻报道) 可学科网 www.zxxk com 让教与学更高效 Passage 2 【答案】1.C2.D3.C4B Passage 3 【答案】1.A2.C3.D4.D 主题语境04人与自然-自然生态 【答案】1.A2.D3.B4.C 拓展培优 主题语境01人与社会-历史、社会与文化 【答案】1.B2.C3.A4.D 主题语境02人与社会-文学、艺术与体育 【答案】1.A2.B3.B4.C 主题语境03人与自我-生活与学习 【答案】1.D2.C3.D4.B 2/2 专题03 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 （2026·甘肃多校第二阶段考试）Despite living in a silent world for more than two decades, Zhan Junyi who has been deaf from birth has become a professional dancer on stage, with music now audible through an artificial cochlea (人工耳蜗). On occasion, he watched the beautiful dance presentation Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, or Thousand-Hand Bodhisattva (千手观音), performed by the China Disabled People’s Performing Art Troupe on TV. “The dance was well performed by the dancers with hearing loss, and I was moved by their excellent skills and strength,” he said. “At that time, I dreamed of being a dancer like them.” He began to watch videos of dance performances and competitions to do the dance movements. To keep up with the rhythm, he needed an artificial cochlea — a device that sends vibrations (震动) to the hearing nerve — in his ears. “With the help of the device, I can feel the vibrations of music,” he said, “but it will easily fall out when I have big movements, so I have to wear a hair band to help keep it on.” Yet through perseverance (毅力), he excelled at dancing and was admitted to the China Disabled People’s Performing Art Troupe in 2015. In 2021, he was admitted to Changchun University to study dance. He has gained rich experience, including performing at the opening and closing ceremonies of the Beijing 2022 Paralympic Winter Games and 2023 Spring Festival Gala. “I have studied modern dance, classical dance and ballet. I especially like classical dance,” he said, “Dancing brings me confidence and makes me happier and stronger. I hope to be a teacher in the future to help children with hearing loss learn dance and feel its charm.” 1.What made Zhan Junyi decide to become a dancer? A. The professional deaf dancers’ capabilities and presentation. B. The China Disabled People’s Performing Art Troupe’s guidance. C. The excellent setting of Thousand-Hand Bodhisattva. D. The in-time help of the artificial cochlea. 2.What is Zhan Junyi like according to the text? A. Half-hearted. B. Hard-working. C. Outgoing. D. Intelligent. 3.What does the underlined phrase “excelled at” in Paragraph 5 mean? A. Became good at. B. Became fond of. C. Was busy with. D. Trained for. 4.In which column of a newspaper can we most likely see the text? A. Health. B. Fashion. C. Music. D. People. 【答案】1. A　2. B　3. A　4. D 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述先天失聪的詹俊义借助人工耳蜗，凭借毅力成为专业舞者并追寻梦想的故事。 (1)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The dance was well performed by the dancers with hearing loss, and I was moved by their excellent skills and strength,” he said. “At that time, I dreamed of being a dancer like them. (“这场舞蹈由失聪舞者精彩演绎，我被他们出色的技巧和力量所打动，”他说。“那时，我梦想成为像他们一样的舞者。”)”可知，失聪舞者的专业能力和舞蹈呈现，让詹俊义下定决心成为一名舞者。故选A项。 (2)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“He began to watch videos of dance performances and competitions to do the dance movements. (他开始观看舞蹈表演和比赛的视频，学习舞蹈动作。)”以及第五段中的“through perseverance (毅力), (凭借毅力)”可知，詹俊义通过观看视频学习动作，还凭借毅力在舞蹈上取得成绩，由此可推断他是一个勤奋的人。故选B项。 (3)题解析： 词句猜测题。根据第五段中的“Yet through perseverance (毅力), he excelled at dancing and was admitted to the China Disabled People’s Performing Art Troupe in 2015. (然而凭借毅力，他在舞蹈方面excelled at，并于2015年考入中国残疾人艺术团。)”可知，“考入艺术团”是“excelled at dancing”的结果，结合“凭借毅力”可推测，他应是“擅长”舞蹈才会被艺术团录取。“excelled at”意为“擅长”，与“Became good at”含义相近。故选A项。 (4)题解析： 推理判断题。通读全文可知，文章围绕詹俊义的个人经历展开，讲述了他从受失聪舞者启发，到努力学习舞蹈，再到取得一系列成就的故事，属于人物事迹类内容。因此，最可能在报纸的“人物”专栏看到这篇文章。故选D项。 主题语境02 人与社会-社会服务与人际沟通 （25-26高二上·甘肃武威第一中学·期中）Lynn’s world fell apart in 2018. Her son, James, a Navy flight surgeon, was fatally injured in a mission and passed away. It was time for Lynn to honour the spirit of a man who had switched from studying commerce engineering to medicine because he wanted to help people. Lynn instructed the hospital to begin the organ donation process. These few words, as hard as they were to say, would soon ripple (扩散) outward, allowing a man to return to work, a veteran (老兵) to regain his health, and a cyclist to get back on his bike. Mike was diagnosed with leukemia (白血病) in 2004. Six years of treatment and exercise paid off. To celebrate his sixth year without cancer, Mike decided to ride his bike to New York. Unfortunately, his health deteriorated and one evening in 2017, he started having chest pains. That was when a mother’s very worst day became a stranger’s best. James’ heart was beating in the cancer survivor’s chest now. The morning he woke up from the transplant, Mike found himself recharged. Of the four letters Lynn had sent to the recipients, one reached Mike. Lynn described her son’s devotion to his country, the fact that he considered everyone a friend, and his love for scuba diving, snowboarding, and motorcycling. These pages painted a picture of just how special his new heart was. Mike carefully composed a response, accurately expressing his gratitude and communicating his desire to stay in touch with James’ family. It was a balm (药膏) for a wound that Lynn felt would never heal. And so began the emails and texts. She even began following Mike’s Instagram posts. “Knowing he was doing well really helped,” she says. During his recovery, Mike had hatched a plan to cycle cross-country again, from the hospital that treated him to James’ grave. When he began the 1,430-mile journey in 2019, Lynn followed anxiously on his Instagram. Despite setbacks — steep climbs, wrong turns, flat tires — Mike pressed on. On November 20, he arrived at James’ grave, where Lynn waited. They hugged. Then came the tears — not of sorrow, but relief. A part of James lived on, and two strangers connected by loss and hope became family. 1.What does the underlined word “deteriorated” mean in paragraph 2? A. Declined. B. Improved. C. Recovered. D. Promoted. 2.What is the main idea of paragraph 4? A. Mother’s love for her son. B. James’ amazing personalities. C. Mike’s thoughtful response. D. Interaction between Lynn and Mike. 3.Why did Mike cycle cross-country in 2019? A. To test his physical strength B. To show his great gratitude. C. To raise fund for organ donation. D. To pick up his former hobby. 4.What is the best title for the text? A. Organ donation matters B. A great heart beats on C. A cross-country cyclist survives D. Social media connects people 【答案】1. A　2. D　3. B　4. B 【解析】【导语】 这是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了2018年琳恩之子詹姆斯牺牲后捐献器官，其心脏救了迈克。琳恩与迈克通过书信等互动，让生命以温情形式延续的故事。 (1)题解析： 词句猜测题。根据第二段“Six years of treatment and exercise paid off. To celebrate his sixth year without cancer, Mike decided to ride his bike to New York. Unfortunately, his health deteriorated and one evening in 2017, he started having chest pains. (六年的治疗和锻炼有了成效。为了庆祝自己抗癌成功六周年，迈克决定骑自行车去纽约。不幸的是，他的健康状况deteriorated，2017年的一个晚上，他开始胸痛)”可知，unfortunately表转折，说明健康状况从“好转”转向糟糕，最终引发胸痛，deteriorated应意为“恶化、下降”，与 A选项“declined(衰退、恶化)”一致。故选A项。 (2)题解析： 主旨大意题。根据第四段“Of the four letters Lynn had sent to the recipients, one reached Mike.

It was a balm (药膏) for a wound that Lynn felt would never heal. And so began the emails and texts. She even began following Mike’s Instagram posts.(琳恩寄给四位收件人的信中，有一封送到了迈克手里。信里，她讲述了儿子对国家的忠诚，他把每个人都当作朋友，以及他对潜水、滑雪板和摩托车的热爱。这些书页描绘了他的新心脏是多么的特别。迈克精心写了回信，既真切表达了感激之情，也提出希望与詹姆斯一家保持联系。这封信就像一剂药膏，抚慰着琳恩那道本以为永远无法愈合的伤口。自此，两人开始互通邮件与信息，琳恩甚至还关注了迈克的照片墙动态)”可知，该段核心围绕琳恩与迈克的互动展开，包括发信、回信及后续线上关注。故选D项。 (3)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第五段“During his recovery, Mike had hatched a plan to cycle cross-country again, from the hospital that treated him to James’ grave.(康复期间，迈克酝酿了一个计划：再次骑行穿越全国，从救治他的医院出发，前往詹姆斯的墓地)”及“On November 20, he arrived at James’ grave, where Lynn waited. They hugged. Then came the tears — not of sorrow, but relief. A part of James lived on, and two strangers connected by loss and hope became family.(11月20日，他终于抵达詹姆斯的墓地，琳恩已在那里等候。两人相拥而泣，这泪水无关悲伤，满是释然。詹姆斯的一部分以这样的方式继续存在，而这两位因失去与希望相连的陌生人，也成了家人)”可推知，迈克骑行到詹姆斯墓前，是为了向捐赠心脏的詹姆斯及其家人表达感激。故选B项。 (4)题解析： 主旨大意题。通读全文特别是第五段During his recovery, Mike had hatched a plan to cycle cross-country again, from the hospital that treated him to James’ grave.(康复期间，迈克酝酿了一个计划：再次骑行穿越全国，从救治他的医院出发，前往詹姆斯的墓地)”及“On November 20, he arrived at James’ grave, where Lynn waited.

For Huo Zhiyi, this year’s Dragon Boat Festival was surely one to remember. Instead of having a holiday dinner at a restaurant, the 21-year-old junior student and her classmates from Shenyang Agricultural University cooked for themselves in a shared kitchen. This new shared kitchen, which covers 340 square meters on the second floor of the university’s First Dining Hall, including a 22-square-meter cooking area, opened early last month. Students can use cookware and appliances (electric equipment) such as pans, ovens, and freezers, and various stuffs, like cooking oil, salt, and sugar, for free — all provided by the university. All they have to prepare is the basic ingredients (食材), such as meat and fresh vegetables. “The three-day holiday was too short for us to return to our hometowns, so we decided to spend the festival together on campus. We all felt bored of the dining halls and take-out food. The newly opened shared kitchen has given us a space to cook for ourselves.” The shared kitchen has quickly gained popularity with students and it is hard to find an available (可用的) stove, especially during meal times. “We had to book it a week in advance,” Huo said. The six young students worked for nearly three hours in the kitchen to cook eight dishes. “It was not as easy as we thought,” she said. The time spent in cooking has helped them communicate and cooperate more. “Compared with unhealthy take-out food, most college students desire hometown-style dishes or their favorite specialties, but it’s hard to find them in campus dining halls,” said Yi Guangcheng, director of the First Dining Hall. “The shared kitchen can help make their wishes come true. Meanwhile, it provides an opportunity to develop friendship and enrich social life. Delicious food is always a good bridge of communication,” he said. In addition to providing more convenience for the students, the shared kitchen also focuses on education, according to Ge Pengye, director of the university’s food center. “It is a creative feature of the university in quality education. We hope students can learn the basic life skill of cooking before they step out into society.” 1.What’s the writing purpose of Paragraph 1? A. To offer an example. B. To introduce a topic. C. To make a comparison. D. To present an argument. 2.What does a student need to prepare before cooking in the shared kitchen? A. Pans. B. Salt. C. Ovens. D. Beef. 3.Which benefit of the shared kitchen is NOT mentioned in the passage? A. Enriching social life. B. Developing friendship. C. Increasing the sales of take-out food. D. Learning the basic life skill of cooking. 4.What’s the author’s attitude towards the shared kitchen? A. Positive B. Confusing. C. Negative. D. Indifferent. 【答案】1. B　2. D　3. C　4.

From that moment on, Kent held onto a dream: to one day march with the band. As he neared retirement, Kent decided it was time to pursue this long-held dream. With enthusiasm, he shared his plans with his family: he was going back to school at LSU and trying out for the band. The first step involved taking up the tuba (大号) again, an instrument he hadn’t played regularly in about fifty years. Not giving up, Kent committed to hours of practice, filling his neighborhood with the joyful sounds of his instrument as he prepared for the challenge ahead. He also made exercise a daily habit, including strength training and running to ensure he was ready for the demands of marching band life. Soon, Kent entered LSU, starting a new chapter alongside students who were nearly five decades his junior. When the time for marching band tryouts arrived in early August, he gave it his all, eagerly awaiting the results to see if he could step onto the dream football field. As the list was out, Kent felt the excitement built. “There was a countdown in the Tuba room…30 seconds, 15 seconds, 10 seconds, and right at 7 pm, the marching band list came out,” he recalled. The joy was obvious as he learned he had made the band, becoming the oldest member by an impressive 41 years. Last Saturday, Kent proudly took the field in his purple and gold uniform, tuba in hand. The stadium (体育场) was alive with music and cheers, including the voices of his loving wife and daughters, who were there to support him. Surrounded by the lively atmosphere that attracted him as a child, Kent’s story serves as an inspiration for others. “People can use this as an example — your only failure is not trying,” he encourages. “If you don’t try, you won’t get there.” 1.What can we learn about Kent’s 1968 experience? A. It was full of imagination. B. It disappointed him deeply. C. It affected his school grades. D. It inspired his lifelong interest. 2.What can we know about Kent’s effort to achieve his goal? A. It needed both musical and physical preparation. B. It was supported by professional musicians. C. It mainly involved memorizing old songs. D. It attracted numerous seniors to join him. 3.How did Kent’s family support his pursuit? A. By joining the band with him. B. By attending his performance. C. By buying him a new instrument. D. By helping him train physically. 4.What does Kent’s story show? A. Knowledge starts with practice. B. Don’t judge a book by its cover. C. Where there’s a will, there’s a way. D. Every cloud has a silver lining. 【答案】1. D　2. A　3. B　4.

The stadium (体育场) was alive with music and cheers, including the voices of his loving wife and daughters, who were there to support him.(上周六，Kent自豪地穿着紫色和金色的制服，手里拿着大号走进球场。体育场里充满了音乐和欢呼声，包括他那深爱的妻子和女儿们的声音，她们是来支持他的)”可知，Kent的家人通过参加他的演出支持他的追求。故选B项。 (4)题解析： 推理判断题。通读全文，结合最后一段“Surrounded by the lively atmosphere that attracted him as a child, Kent’s story serves as an inspiration for others. “People can use this as an example-your only failure is not trying,” he encourages. “If you don’t try, you won’t get there.”(Kent被小时候吸引他的活泼气氛所包围，他的故事激励着其他人。“人们可以以此为例——你唯一的失败就是不尝试，”他鼓励道。“如果你不尝试，你就不会成功”)”可知，本文主要讲述了66岁的Kent为了实现自己年轻时的梦想，努力练习大号并加入大学乐队的故事。所以Kent的故事表明了“有志者事竟成”。故选C项。 主题语境02 人与社会-科学与技术 （25-26高二上·甘肃庆阳市华池县第一中学·期中）Building large-scale (大规模的) wind and solar power plants (发电厂) doesn’t just have the power to provide the world with a huge amount of energy; it has the power to actually change the climate for the better. A new climate-modeling study has found that wind and solar power plants throughout the Sahara Desert (撒哈拉大沙漠) could increase rainfall across the area and benefit plants’ growth. When it comes to the Sahara Desert, here come the opinions of the researchers. For one, there’s plenty of sunlight and plenty of wind over the sandy areas. It’s also close to Europe and the Middle East, which need great amounts of energy. What’s more, wind and solar power plants that cover about 9 million kilometers of the desert could provide about 3 terawatts (太瓦) and 79 terawatts of electricity separately. That would meet global energy needs several times over. The researchers also tried to find out how such large power plants would affect the area’s climate and plants. It was found that temperatures would increase — which might sound difficult to understand in the desert — but this would also raise the amount of water in the air and double the amount of rainfall. That’s a fair trade, as this place could become green with even a little increase in rainfall. “We found that the large-scale solar and wind power plants can bring more rainfall and help with plants’ growth in these areas. It’s great to think that instead of burning coal or oil and creating disastrous climate change, we could use clean energy to produce positive climate change and change a desert into a beautiful place with water and trees,” explained Eugenia Kalnay, a researcher of the study. 1.What is the second paragraph mainly about? A. How people affect the Sahara Desert. B. Why we need large-scale power plants. C. How power plants can be helpful to the surroundings. D. Why the Sahara Desert is perfect for building power plants. 2.What will happen to the desert according to the study? A. It will become colder. B. It will attract more tourists. C. The temperature will be higher there. D. The trade there will increase greatly. 3.How does Eugenia Kalnay comment on building large-scale wind and solar power plants in the Sahara Desert? A. It is a win-win chance. B. It needs to be studied further. C. It will face greater difficulties. D. It will be achieved within decades. 4.What is the best title for the text? A. Wind and solar power plants produce clean energy B. Power plants could bring rains to the Sahara Desert C. The Sahara Desert may disappear after a new project D. The world will need more electricity in the future 【答案】1. D　2. C　3. A　4. B 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇新闻报道，主要讲的是一项新的气候模拟研究发现，整个撒哈拉沙漠的风能和太阳能发电厂可以增加该地区的降雨量，有利于植物的生长。 (1)题解析： 主旨大意题。根据第二段的“For one, there’s plenty of sunlight and plenty of wind over the sandy areas.

What’s more, wind and solar power plants that cover about 9 million kilometers of the desert could provide about 3 terawatts (太瓦) and 79 terawatts of electricity separately. That would meet global energy needs several times over. (首先，沙质地区有充足的阳光和充足的风。它也靠近需要大量能源的欧洲和中东。此外，覆盖约900万公里沙漠的风能和太阳能发电厂可以分别提供约3太瓦和79太瓦的电力。这将满足全球能源需求的数倍。)”可知，第二段主要讲的是为什么撒哈拉沙漠是建造发电厂的理想之地。故选D。 (2)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第三段的“The researchers also tried to find out how such large power plants would affect the area’s climate and plants. It was found that temperatures would increase — which might sound difficult to understand in the desert — but this would also raise the amount of water in the air and double the amount of rainfall. (研究人员还试图找出这样的大型发电厂将如何影响该地区的气候和植物。人们发现气温会升高——这在沙漠中听起来可能很难理解——但这也会增加空气中的水量，使降雨量增加一倍。)”可知，根据这项研究，沙漠的温度将来会更高。故选C。 (3)题解析： 推理判断题。根据最后一段的“We found that the large-scale solar and wind power plants can bring more rainfall and help with plants’ growth in these areas. It’s great to think that instead of burning coal or oil and creating disastrous climate change, we could use clean energy to produce positive climate change and change a desert into a beautiful place with water and trees (我们发现，大型太阳能和风力发电厂可以带来更多的降雨，并有助于这些地区的植物生长。想想看，我们可以使用清洁能源，而不是燃烧煤炭或石油，造成灾难性的气候变化，从而产生积极的气候变化，把沙漠变成一个有水有树的美丽地方，这真是太棒了)”可知，Eugenia Kalnay对在撒哈拉沙漠建造大型风能和太阳能发电厂的看法是这是一个双赢的机会。故选A。 (4)题解析： 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段的“A new climate-modeling study has found that wind and solar power plants throughout the Sahara Desert (撒哈拉大沙漠) could increase rainfall across the area and benefit plants’ growth. (一项新的气候模拟研究发现，整个撒哈拉沙漠的风能和太阳能发电厂可以增加该地区的降雨量，有利于植物的生长。)”可知，本文主要讲的是整个撒哈拉沙漠的风能和太阳能发电厂可以增加该地区的降雨量，有利于植物的生长，因此本文最好的题目是B选项“Power plants could bring rains to the Sahara Desert (发电厂可以给撒哈拉沙漠带来雨水)”，故选B。 主题语境03 人与自我-生活与学习 Passage 1 （25-26高二上·甘肃兰州多校联考·期中）When Tina Farr visits the year 2 classroom at her Oxford primary school, she can feel the change in atmosphere since play was put firmly back on the curriculum (课程). “The children come running up with things they have made. There is always a shop on the go so they will be pricing up something or finding change,” the headteacher says. Play-based learning — letting children move around, make up games and explore within loosely guided activities — usually stops when they attend primary school. Lessons then become desk-based, focused on reading and writing. Farr had long championed the value of play, working hard to bring it into break time. “Teachers would recognize what we do and it doesn’t take any more planning than the standard approach.” With play-based learning in place for her year 1 and 2 children, Farr then looked at where else she could change any practices that weren’t working. “If a practice isn’t in line with healthy child development, why are we doing it?” The school’s year 5 children — aged nine and 10 — were struggling to sit still in a tight space so she removed all the furniture. “The impact was immediate and impressive. Children now choose where and how to learn. A class once struggling with attention is now calm and engaged.” A teacher noted: “Their self-regulation has improved greatly. They settle down to work much more readily.” Farr believes the outdated system needs urgent change. “We have neuroscience (神经科学) that shows us children learn through play.” In June the school sailed through its OFSTED inspection. “The inspector really understood our play-based learning.” Farr’s message is that her approach can be rolled out. “It’s blown my mind how engaged the children are. It’s phenomenal (了不起的),” she says. 1.Which of the following best describes “play-based learning”? A. Children following clear instructions to complete art projects. B. Children creating their own games and exploring personal interests. C. Children completing academic worksheets at their desks. D. Children memorizing facts through repetitive classroom drills. 2.Why did Farr implement play-based learning? A. To reduce teaching preparation time. B. To improve exam performance. C. To support child development. D. To attract media attention. 3.How did the fifth graders respond to the new classroom arrangement? A. Became more distracted. B. Gained better concentration. C. Grew more independent. D. Developed stronger opinions. 4.What does the final paragraph emphasize about Farr’s approach? A. Its scientific basis. B. Its implementation costs. C. Its popularity with parents. D. Its academic achievements. 【答案】1. B　2. C　3. B　4. A 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇新闻报道。文章介绍了校长Tina Farr在学校推行游戏化学习的创新做法及其积极成效。 (1)题解析： 细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“Play-based learning — letting children move around, make up games and explore within loosely guided activities(以游戏为基础的学习——让孩子们四处走动，在松散的指导下进行游戏和探索)”可知，游戏化学习，让孩子们在宽松的引导活动中自由活动、编游戏和探索。选项B中的“creating their own games”直接对应原文中的“make up games”，而“exploring personal interests”精准概括了“explore within loosely guided activities”的本质，完美抓住了自主创造和自由探索的两个核心要素。故选B。 (2)题解析： 推理判断题。根据文章第三段中的“If a practice isn’t in line with healthy child development, why are we doing it?(如果一种做法不符合儿童的健康发展，我们为什么要这么做？)”可推知，Farr的主要目的是支持儿童健康发展。故选C。 (3)题解析： 细节理解题。根据文章第四段中的“The impact was immediate and impressive. Children now choose where and how to learn. A class once struggling with attention is now calm and engaged.(其影响立竿见影，令人印象深刻。孩子们现在可以选择在哪里和如何学习。一个曾经难以集中注意力的班级现在变得平静而投入)”和“Their self-regulation has improved greatly. They settle down to work much more readily.(他们的自我调节能力大大提高。他们更容易坐下来工作)”可知，学生们在新教室布置下，注意力得到了改善，能够更平静地投入学习，自我调节能力也大大提高，能更迅速地静下心来学习。这说明学生们注意力更集中了。故选B。 (4)题解析： 推理判断题。文章最后一段提到“We have neuroscience (神经科学) that shows us children learn through play.(神经科学告诉我们孩子是通过玩耍来学习的)”以及“The inspector really understood our play-based learning.(检查员非常理解我们以游戏为基础的学习)”，强调了有神经科学证明孩子们通过游戏学习，并且检查员也理解了这种基于游戏的学习方式。这突出了Farr的方法有科学依据。故选A。 Passage 2 （25-26高二上·甘肃兰州多校联考·期中）Everyone has a different idea about what achieving success involves. For some, they want to lose weight. For others, they desire to build a business that creates financial freedom. Whatever success means to you, it has probably shaped you over the years by the images you see of people in creating success for themselves. Social media has millions of daily users that are sharing information about their life and business. You see their stories of success and wins. It’s not uncommon for people to share successes without talking about the struggle on the path to accomplishing those. As a matter of fact, we can’t see the whole picture when someone shares his/her wins. In other words, we get caught in the comparison trap which can weaken the success-seekers. If you’re going to reach new growth levels and accomplish your goals, you’ll need to stop chasing a false image of success. The Internet and social media have created a culture in which individuals can instantly get a sense of satisfaction with themselves. You post an achievement, and immediate praise follows. That satisfaction is exciting and makes individuals want to experience it often. The vanity(虚荣心) causes false decision about what’s going on in someone’s life. If your image of success is this vanity-driven false one, your looking into someone else’s success journey is a surface-level glance. You can’t base what you do and the decisions you make on the little bit you see. A smart strategy is when you see success, model it and use what you see from others as motivation. But don’t let a surface-level image be your driving force towards your goals. A false image of success has held you back for far too long. Let the false images of success come and go. After all, attitude drives actions. Actions drive results. Results drive lifestyles. 1.What is the common practice of the successful people? A. They are always shaped by other people’s success. B. They often compare their success with others’. C. They don’t mention their hard work for success. D. They’d like to share their advantages over others. 2.What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 3 refer to? A. A culture. B. A new growth level. C. The path to success. D. The sense of satisfaction. 3.How should we view other people’s success? A. By copying it with great ambition. B. By creating an image of our own success. C. By motivating ourselves to achieve our goals. D. By making comparisons to find out our shortcomings. 4.What does the author mainly intend to tell us? A. We can seek for success in different ways. B. We should not chase a false image of success. C. We can turn our goals into reality on our own. D. We’d better not make a decision based on social media. 【答案】1. C　2. D　3. C　4. B 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇议论文。主要讲述了我们不应该追逐成功的虚假形象，应当在看到别人成功时，模仿它，把从别人身上看到的作为动力，不要让表面的形象成为实现目标的动力。 (1)题解析： 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“It’s not uncommon for people to share successes without talking about the struggle on the path to accomplishing those (人们分享成功却不谈论在实现成功的道路上所付出的努力，这并不罕见)”可知，成功的人不提及他们为成功所付出的努力。故选C。 (2)题解析： 词义猜测题。根据上句“That satisfaction is exciting and makes individuals want to experience (这种满足感令人兴奋，让人想要体验)”可知，人想要经常体验这种令人兴奋的满足感。“it”指代本句的“that satisfaction(这种满足感)”。故选D。 (3)题解析： 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“A smart strategy is when you see success, model it and use what you see from others as motivation. But don’t let a surface-level image be your driving force towards your goals. (一个聪明的策略是当你看到成功时，模仿它，把你从别人身上看到的作为动力，但不要让表面的形象成为你实现目标的动力)”可知，我们应该通过激励自己实现目标来看待别人的成功。故选C。 (4)题解析： 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“If you’re going to reach new growth levels and accomplish your goals, you’ll need to stop chasing a false image of success. (如果你想达到新的增长水平，实现你的目标，你需要停止追逐成功的错误形象)”以及最后一段“A false image of success has held you back for far too long. Let the false images of success come and go. After all, attitude drives actions. Actions drive results. Results drive lifestyles.(对成功的错误想象已经拖你后腿太久了。让成功的假象来了又走吧。毕竟，态度驱动行动。行为驱动的结果。结果驱动的生活方式)”推知，作者通过这篇文章告诉我们，不应该追逐成功的虚假形象。故选B。 Passage 3 （25-26高二上·甘肃兰州大学附属中学·期中）My life experience is anything but ordinary. Raised by my hardworking single mother on Australia’s Gold Coast, I was encouraged to pursue higher education. Though I ranked top academically, my passion was cooking, a path my mother hesitated to support due to its challenges. To please her, I attended university while working part-time as a chef. However, my love for the kitchen soon surpassed my studies, and I dropped out to pursue cooking full-time. Over the next 12 years, I climbed the ranks as a chef, landing head chef positions in North Queensland. Life seemed perfect—I was engaged, had great friends and enjoyed stability. Yet, a lingering restlessness grew within me. A trip to Bali became a turning point. I realized I desired something beyond conventional (守旧) existence. Despite guilt, I walked away from my settled life, returning to my mother’s home on the Gold Coast. Soon, I fell back into old patterns—working in kitchens and feeling unfulfilled. Then, Instagram changed everything. As an early user, I poured my creativity into the platform, discovering a talent for photography and storytelling. By 2012, my audience grew to 200,000 followers, and tourism boards began reaching out. Recognizing the opportunity, I quit my job to pursue travel photography and social media full-time. The early days were tough. I created a “solo influencer package”, offering brands social media content, photography and campaign reports. As a pioneer in Australia’s influencer market, my services became highly popular. I traveled on and on—50 trips a year at my peak—while expanding into consulting, public speaking, and project management. Now, I run a multifaceted (多层面) business, including photography, social media, and travel. I co-founded the Travel Bootcamp, 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 wife’s homeland, combining my passions with conservation and community support. My journey has been challenging yet deeply fulfilling. Money is no longer the main driver—instead, I seek meaningful experiences and opportunities to inspire others. What began as a small idea has grown into a life of adventure, creativity and purpose. 1.What does the underlined word “surpassed” in paragraph 1 mean? A. Went beyond. B. Broke up. C. Controlled. D. Improved. 2.Why did the author quit his job in North Queensland? A. He wanted to make a trip to Bali. B. He didn’t enjoy working in the kitchen. C. He was eager to experience more in life. D. He preferred to live a conventional life. 3.What is the main idea of paragraph 4? A. Why Instagram changed the author’s mindset. B. Why followers liked to read the author’s posts. C. How Internet benefited millions of online users. D. How the author started a career as a solo influencer. 4.What message does the text convey? A. Big results require big ambitions. B. The future is built on great ideas. C. Bravery never goes out of fashion. D. Your heart is the birthplace of dreams. 【答案】1. A　2. C　3. D　4.

An international team of researchers discovered the animals five decades after whaling nearly caused them to disappear forever. “The ocean resources at South Georgia were very heavily developed during the early 20th-century industrial whaling.” says lead author Susannah Calderan, an ecologist with the Scottish Association for Marine Science (SAMS). Antarctic blue whales were plentiful in the area until whaling began there in 1904, kicking off the beginning of industrial whaling in the Southern Ocean. While hunters originally focused on species that could be easily captured, like the humpback whale, the focus quickly moved to the blue whale. Between 1904 and 1973. 345,775 Antarctic blue whales were killed in the Southern hemisphere and in the northern Indian Ocean. Around South Georgia, blue whale catches were reported year-round. Between 1904 and 1971, industrial whaling killed 42,698 blue whales. Blue whales almost disappeared in these areas. For the study, researchers studied all Antarctic blue whale data from the last three decades. They examined sightings from scientific surveys collected by observers on ships, as well as opportunistic sightings reported by seamen and ship passengers to the South Georgia Museum. They also examined acoustic (声音的) recordings of blue whale vocalizations (发声). They found that whale surveys from ships off South Georgia resulted in just one blue whale sighting between 1998 and 2018. But more recent surveys suggest better news. A survey in February 2020 found nearly 60 blue whale sightings, and several acoustic detections (探测). A total of 41 blue whales have been recognized through photos from South Georgia between 2011 and 2020. “Their return is very meaningful, as it was widely thought that blue whales at South Georgia might have been hunted beyond a point where they could recover, and might never be seen again in great numbers at South Georgia,” Calderan says. “Our research shows that populations can recover even from very low levels if they’re given enough protection.” 1.What does the underlined word “perceived” in Paragraph 1 mean? A. Discovered. B. Hunted. C. Kept. D. Destroyed. 2.What does Paragraph 3 mainly want to tell us? A. The development of industrial whaling. B. The wide spread of blue whales in the past. C. The popularity of blue whale meat among customers. D. The cause of blue whales’ disappearance in some areas. 3.What did the researchers find through their survey in South Georgia? A. There will be more return of blue whales. B. The number of blue whales has increased. C. More and more people like watching blue whale. D. South Georgia is a good place to watch blue whales. 4.What might be discussed in the following paragraph? A. The risk of killing whales at higher rates. B. The sign that Antarctic blue whales will return. C. The way of protecting Antarctic blue whales. D. The loss of ocean resources caused by human activity. 【答案】1. A　2. D　3. B　4. C 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了南极蓝鲸在南乔治亚岛附近海域重新出现及数量有所增加的情况。 (1)题解析： 词句猜测题。根据第一段“Antarctic blue whales have been perceived again in the sub-Antarctic island of South Georgia. An international team of researchers discovered the animals five decades after whaling nearly caused them to disappear forever.(在南乔治亚岛（位于南极洲附近）再次perceived南极蓝鲸。一支国际研究团队在捕鲸活动几乎导致南极蓝鲸永远消失的五十年后发现了这些动物。)”可知，一支国际研究团队在捕鲸活动几乎导致南极蓝鲸永远消失的五十年后发现了这些动物，所以南极蓝鲸再次被“发现”，perceived意为“发现”。故选A。 (2)题解析： 主旨大意题。根据第三段中“Antarctic blue whales were plentiful in the area until whaling began there in 1904, kicking off the beginning of industrial whaling in the Southern Ocean.(直到1904年开始捕鲸，南极蓝鲸在该地区数量众多，这开启了南大洋工业捕鲸的开端。)”和“Blue whales almost disappeared in these areas.(蓝鲸在这些地区几乎消失了。)”可知，第三段主要讲述了蓝鲸在一些地区消失的原因。故选D。 (3)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第五段中“A survey in February 2020 found nearly 60 blue whale sightings, and several acoustic detections (探测). A total of 41 blue whales have been recognized through photos from South Georgia between 2011 and 2020.(2020年2月的一项调查发现了近60头蓝鲸目击事件，以及几次声学探测。2011年至2020年期间，通过南乔治亚的照片共识别出41头蓝鲸。)”可知，研究人员在南乔治亚的调查中发现蓝鲸的数量增加了。故选B。 (4)题解析： 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Our research shows that populations can recover even from very low levels if they’re given enough protection.(我们的研究表明，如果给予足够的保护，种群数量甚至可以从非常低的水平恢复过来。)”可知，下文可能会讨论保护南极蓝鲸的方法。故选C。 主题语境01 人与社会-历史、社会与文化 （25-26高二上·甘肃天水市秦安县第一中学·期中）Ash Barty, the world’s No.1 women’s tennis player, shocked the sports world by announcing that she would leave the tennis court forever.

Some people are working on the land, and I can hear their laughter. I tell myself that one day I’ll be back. But for now, it’s time to say goodbye. I’m leaving the eco-village where I’ve spent the past six years. My husband and I first arrived in Los Molinos, Spain, after a long stay in London. Our experience of eco-living was limited to regular recycling. In Spain, we had to learn how to live completely off-grid. All our electricity came from the solar panels, which meant we couldn’t have energy-hungry devices like toasters and electric kettles. We even had to give up the Internet because there was no connection. We harvested fruits and grew vegetables. In many ways it was paradise (天堂). The Sun shone most of the year. And I made friends with people I would never have met otherwise. And yet after six years, we knew it was time to leave. Our parents, back in England, were getting older and would need support. As a writer, I could work anywhere. Indeed, while in the eco-village, I finished a novel and two biographies. When we came back, the contrast between the clear, bright blue skies of Los Molinos and these seemingly ubiquitous (无处不在的) blanket of gray cloud that covered England was a shock. Almost immediately we missed the delicious Spanish dishes and the wild landscape with its vast empty spaces. The experience of eco-living was not wasted, however. I drew on those six years living in Spain for my new novel. It proved inspirational in other ways, too. While living in Los Molinos, we learned how to make cheap, nutritious dishes. We lived without central heating, and survived the freezing winter nights. As the cost of living in London continues to rise, I’ll be able to draw on these experiences. We were back with our cat and each time I look at him — occasionally addressing him in Spanish — I’m reminded of my time in that eco-paradise and the lessons it taught me. 1.What does the underlined word “off-grid” mean in paragraph 2? A. Without daily necessities. B. Without outside contact. C. Without electrical devices. D. Without public power supply. 2.Why did the author and her husband leave Los Molinos? A. To publish her works. B. To apply for a job. C. To care for their parents. D. To have a warm winter. 3.What can be inferred about the author from paragraph 5? A. She was shocked to see the changes in England. B. She found it hard to live sustainably in England. C. She was likely to return to Spain with her parents. D. She had a strong attachment to her life in Spain. 4.What did the author think of her experience of eco-living? A. Tough. B. Valuable. C. Inconvenient. D. Peaceful. 【答案】1. D　2. C　3. D　4. B 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章主要讲述了作者和丈夫在西班牙一个生态村离网生活的经历。 (1)题解析： 词句猜测题。根据第二段中“In Spain, we had to learn how to live completely off-grid. All our electricity came from the solar panels, which meant we couldn’t have energy-hungry devices like toasters and electric kettles. We even had to give up the Internet because there was no connection.(在西班牙，我们必须学会如何完全off-grid生活。我们所有的电力都来自太阳能电池板，这意味着我们不能使用像烤面包机和电水壶这样耗能高的设备。我们甚至不得不放弃互联网，因为没有连接)”可知，在西班牙，他们所有的电力都来自太阳能电池板，没有公共电力供应，不能使用耗能高的设备。由此可推知，划线词off-grid意为“没有公共电力供应”。故选D项。 (2)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第四段中“And yet after six years, we knew it was time to leave. Our parents, back in England, were getting older and would need support.(然而，六年后，我们知道是时候离开了。我们在英国的父母年纪越来越大了，需要照顾)”可知，作者和丈夫离开Los Molinos是因为要回去照顾他们在英国的父母。故选C项。 (3)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第五段中“When we came back, the contrast between the clear, bright blue skies of Los Molinos and these seemingly ubiquitous (无处不在的) blanket of gray cloud that covered England was a shock. Almost immediately we missed the delicious Spanish dishes and the wild landscape with its vast empty spaces.(当我们回来时，Los Molinos清澈明亮的蓝天与笼罩英国的似乎无处不在的灰色云层形成了鲜明的对比，这让我们感到震惊。我们几乎立刻就怀念起美味的西班牙菜肴和那片广阔空旷的荒野景观)”可知，作者和丈夫回到英国后，对英国的天气感到震惊，怀念西班牙的美食和风景，由此可推知，作者对在西班牙的生活有着强烈的眷恋。故选D项。 (4)题解析： 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“The experience of eco-living was not wasted, however. I drew on those six years living in Spain for my new novel. It proved inspirational in other ways, too.(然而，生态生活的经历并没有浪费。我写新小说时借鉴了在西班牙生活的这六年。它在其他方面也给了我灵感)”和“As the cost of living in London continues to rise, I’ll be able to draw on these experiences.(随着伦敦生活成本的持续上升，我将能够借鉴这些经验)”可知，作者认为生态生活的经历很有价值，不仅为她的新小说提供了灵感，还让她学到了如何在生活中节约和应对困难，这些经验在她回到伦敦后也能派上用场。故选B项。 / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
