专题04 阅读理解（记叙文） 主题语境01 人与社会-历史、社会与文化 Passage 1 （25-26高一上·河南方城县第一高中学-10月·期中）Most children at age 9 are just interested in playtime and lighthearted fun. But for Aiden Wilkins of Collegeville, Pennsylvania, life looks a little different. He spends part of his week in a medical college classroom, studying together with students twice his age. “I could read signs when most kids at my age, around two years old, could hardly even speak,” Aiden remembered. His mother, Veronica, quickly realized he wasn’t like most children.“He was reading signs and correcting people’s sentences,” she said. An IQ test later proved what his family wondered: Aiden was particularly bright. By age 3, he was especially attracted to the brain anatomy (解剖) videos. That early interest has now grown into a clear goal — Aiden made up his mind to become a doctor. “It’s sad to see kids around my age with brain diseases, so I want to help them out,” he explained. Today, Aiden divides his time between high school courses at Reach Cyber Charter School and neuroscience classes at Ursinus College, becoming the youngest student in the school’s history. Three times a week, he’s on campus with college students. The rest of the week, he’s studying online like any other high schooler. Although he is doing well in his schoolwork, Aiden is still very much a kid at heart. He loves playing soccer and video games when he’s not studying. Veronica smiled with pride watching her son try to realize his dream. “It’s exciting because he’s making history and you know he feels great. I think it’s so important to be seen and heard,”she shared. With Johns Hopkins and Princeton already on his list for medical school, there’s no doubt that Aiden’s great journey is only just beginning. 1.What makes Aiden different from others? A. He shows no interest in playing. B. He mastered languages at two. C. He goes to college at a young age. D. He has difficulty understanding signs. 2.Why did Aiden decide to work as a doctor in the future? A. He wanted to make history. B. His family encouraged him. C. He hoped to help the sick children. D. His friends suffered from brain diseases. 3.What is Aiden’s present life like? A. He fails to find proper learning videos online. B. He struggles to get along with his classmates. C. He develops a new hobby of playing soccer. D. He keeps a good balance between school and life. 4.Which words can best describe Aiden? A. Hard-working and strict. B. Warm-hearted and clever. C. Fortunate and responsible. D. Creative and inspiring. Passage 2 （25-26高一上·河南天立教育·期中）Crowded by defenders, Charlie Villanueva,one hand lifting the ball high, jump toward the basket. For a moment, he seems to hang in the air. Then, he pushes the ball down through the basket — a slam dunk (扣篮)! His career may look like a slam dunk, being a national champion at the University of Connecticut, and setting beginner records with the Toronto Raptors. However, life wasn’t always easy for him. His success comes not only from his basketball skills but also from how he dealt with a skin disease called alopecia areata (斑秃), which isn’t infectious. It happens when the body’s immune system goes wrong and attacks its own hair-growing cells. Charlie was affected at age 10 and lost all his hair by age 12. This made him a target for bullying (欺凌), leading him to shut away from others and hide under caps and hoods. With the support of his mother, Charlie found refuge in basketball. He turned his depression and stress into motivation, improving his skills to the point where his gift became more important than his condition. The bullying stopped, and his basketball career took off. All along the way, Charlie has continuously applied himself to helping others. Ever since his first year as a new player, he has served as a spokesperson for the National Alopecia Areata Foundation, and went on to set up the Charlie Villanueva Foundation, an organization aimed at supporting families with children suffering from alopecia and stopping all forms of bullying. As the son of immigrants from the Dominican Republic, he has even worked towards ending poverty in that country. Charlie encourages young people to accept their individuality and have confidence in themselves. “We’re all unique in our own ways,” he says, encouraging them to remember that with dedication and self-belief, any dream is within reach. 1.Why is Charlie’s slam dunk mentioned in Paragraph 1? A. To compare him with other champions. B. To explain how a slam dunk is performed. C. To highlight his skills and achievements. D. To show a specific moment in a game. 2.What made Charlie avoid his classmates? A. An infectious skin disease. B. His being made fun of. C. An error in the immune system. D. His average ability to play basketball. 3.Which of the following best describes Charlie? A. Strong-willed and helpful. B. Strict and responsible. C. Warm-hearted and humorous. D. Independent and creative. 4.What message does the author want to express in the text? A. Luck often comes to those who are ready. B. Actions speak louder than words. C. A thousand -mile journey begins with the first step. D. What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. 主题语境02 人与自我-生活与学习 Passage 1 （25-26高一上·河南豫北民办高中·期中）The Golden Week is just about to end and soon we will be back at school. It’s with both happiness and sadness. I look forward to seeing my friends and starting practice again, but it also means that I’m officially going through the placement test (分班考试) in less than half a year. From that time on I can choose some subjects I am good at and like. With school starting there are new club activities to try out and experience. For example, Lily is starting a new sport, Track. It’s similar to Cross Country, which I did before The Golden Week. Being here for a month now, I can easily tell the differences between my junior and senior schools. The hardest or most different part for me was to have the same schedule every day here. Honestly, I prefer to have different classes every day, as I did in my junior school. However, I have fallen in love with the Friday football games. Football is one of my favorite sports now. Before I came, I knew nothing about it. Now I love it, especially to watch it with my junior schoolmates. In Golden Week, we have also been so lucky to go to two school football games. Before I left school on the Golden Week, I had a test called Weekly Test. Mostly because I didn’t have too many hard classes, it went pretty smoothly. My favorite class is English, and also my hardest. Personally I really like English, where I could write essays (文章), challenge writing skills and improve English talking. With the end of the Golden Week, I expect to get starting again, starting a new sport and see my friends and classmates. 1.Why does the author feel sad before school starts again? A. Her homework is not finished. B. The placement test will take place soon. C. Her school life will get harder. D. The new sport no longer attracts her. 2.How does the author’s junior school differ from the one she is in now? A. The holidays are longer. B. The teachers are kinder. C. The meals are healthier. D. The courses are richer. 3.What does the author enjoy doing most with his junior schoolmates? A. Watching football matches. B. Playing video games. C. Having a talk in English. D. Visiting her relatives. 4.What does the underlined word “it” in the third paragraph refer to? A. Class. B. Game. C. Test. D. Student. Passage 2 （25-26高一上·河南·期中）Losing my hair was one of the most challenging parts of my cancer journey. It made my illness visible, drawing pitying looks wherever I went. At first, I hoped I might be one of the few who wouldn’t lose it, but soon I found more and more hair in my hairbrush. That was when I decided to shave (剃) it. My husband offered to help, but I needed to do it myself. I needed to face cancer — face to face in the mirror — and tell the disease that this act was under my control. Imight not control everything, but I could decide when the hair went. I refused to let it define me. But with a bald (光秃的) head, how could it not? I bought colourful bamboo hats and scarves, turning them into small celebrations of life. I also tried wigs (假发) , though I never liked them much. They never felt right. The woman I saw didn’t look like me, so I wore them only when I went out. At home, I preferred my soft, colourful hats that made me feel warm and comfortable. By the last day of treatment, my hair began to grow back. On my drive home, I took off my wig and tossed it into the back seat. I was done with wigs — ready to let my hair grow in peace. Interestingly enough, I’ve received many compliments on my short hair. Those who don’t know about my illness, thinking that I chose to cut my hair this short, comment on how great it looks. During the journey, I chose hope over fear. I felt the pain of the losses yet welcomed new beginnings. Cancer didn’t define me. It simply helped me find strength within. It was hard, but I was often surprised by moments of joy. 1.Why did the author shave herself? A. To show her present condition. B. To follow her family tradition. C. To regain a sense of self-control. D. To prepare for a new lifestyle. 2.How did the author deal with her bald head? A. By turning it into self-expression. B. By waiting for her hair to regrow. C. By staying home to avoid stares. D. By hiding it with colourful wigs. 3.What does the underlined word “compliments” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Pitying looks. B. Expressions of admiration. C. Useful tips. D. Polite greetings. 4.What would be a suitable title for the text? A. The Day I Lost My Hair B. Finding Strength in Hard Times C. The Art of Choosing Wigs D. The Power of Family Support 主题语境01 人与社会-历史、社会与文化 Passage 1 （25-26高一上·河南阳市华龙区濮阳市第一高级中学·期中）When my children were in school, each year at the end of summer, my wife and I would buy them all some new clothes for the coming school year. It is a habit that I have kept up over the years even though my sons with special needs are now both in their thirties and wear sizes larger than me. This year I got them both some new shirts and blue jeans to wear for the fall and winter to come. But when it was time to put them in the closets (壁橱) and dressers, there was just no space for them. There were too many old clothes from past years still in them. It was then that I decided to do some spring cleaning in autumn. I started to pull out the old clothes that were still in good condition but weren’t getting worn anymore. Of course, I didn’t leave my own closet out either. Soon we had two large bags full of clothes and carried them to the local charity (慈善机构), believing they could help keep other people warm. I think this feeling came from what I learned when I was a boy. When I was only eleven years old, my grandma’s old house caught fire and burned down in the middle of the night. We managed to get out but lost everything we owned. As painful as that experience was, though, it taught me a valuable lesson about just how little we need to be happy: All we really need is a little food in our stomachs, a roof (屋顶) over our heads, a few clothes on our backs, and love and faith in our hearts. The rest doesn’t add much. In fact, I found that having too many things can weigh you down and keep you from the happiness you want. 1.Why did the author begin to do the spring cleaning? A. To make his sons happy. B. To support the charity. C. To sell out the old clothing. D. To fit the new clothes in. 2.How did the author probably feel after his first spring cleaning? A. Regretful. B. Satisfied. C. Tired. D. Calm. 3.What did the author learn from the house fire? A. Finding a safe place to live isn’t easy. B. A house fire can easily happen at night. C. Owning much doesn’t necessarily bring happiness. D. Losing everything is the most painful experience in life. 4.What is the author’s purpose in writing this text? A. To encourage readers to care about charity. B. To share a personal story showing a life lesson. C. To describe the great challenges of raising children. D. To stress the importance of doing housework as a family. Passage 2 （2026·河南新未来大联考·期中）Claudine Wilson doesn’t like to be in the centre of attention. The Swedeborg School District’s former custodian (监护人) would rather clean classrooms or drive students to class. Except now, her name spreads across the newly named “Claudine Wilson Learning Centre”. At the start of the school year, the small community in central Missouri decided to celebrate Wilson’s more than 30 years of service by naming its K-8 elementary (小学) building in her honour. “I was in shock (震惊). I really didn’t know what was going on,” Wilson said. “It was an honour. It’s very nice that somebody thinks that much of me.” Wilson said she started working for the Swedeborg School District in 1992. The school only needed a custodian to work four hours a day at first, but as the school grew, so did Wilson’s role. She finally took on a list of jobs — students lovingly called Wilson their “bustodian” — like driving the bus, cutting the grass, and even answering the office phones. Wilson has mostly retired (退休) this school year, but she still helps on the bus a few days a week. After more than thirty years, Wilson said the kids are what kept her coming back. “I’m not a hero,” Wilson said. “I’m only here to do what I have to do for the kids.” Dr. Jim Bogle, a leader of the Swedeborg, said he met Wilson many years ago when he worked as a leader for another school. He said they would help each other out, like repairing a broken school roof together. Bogle said it was an easy decision to name the school building after Wilson — and the seven-member school board agreed. Chuck Boren, the current board president, called Wilson the “lifeblood (命脉)” of the school. He said that Wilson treats every student at the school like they were her own. “She’s there for them every day. It goes beyond just her duties as whether it’s custodian or bus driver. She’s very caring and understands the kids well,” Boren said. “She really forms a connection, a special relationship with each kid.” 1.Why was the K-8 elementary building named after Claudine Wilson? A. To honour her long service. B. To attract more students. C. To meet students’ wishes. D. To remember her retirement. 2.How did Wilson feel when learning the building was named after her? A. She felt proud and excited. B. She was surprised and honoured. C. She thought it was impossible. D. She was worried about the attention. 3.What is Dr. Jim Bogle’s attitude towards naming the school building after Claudine Wilson? A. He is doubtful about the decision. B. He thinks it was an unnecessary move. C. He feels angry about the naming. D. He supports the decision wholeheartedly. 4.Which can best describe the relationship between Wilson and the students? A. Uneasy. B. Strict. C. Close. D. Stressful. 主题语境02 人与社会-文学、艺术与体育 （25-26高一上·河南汤阴县第一中学·期中）In the Pacific Northwest during winter, 5:15 a.m. might be the dead of night. The alarm goes off and the only light is the red glow from my clock. My body says, “Go back to bed.” But I don’t. I know my running partner will be waiting in the street and I’m not going to stand her up. Then I walk onto the road, complaining about the cold and wishing I were back under my warm covers. If you’d have asked me a year ago if I could see myself running at 5:15 on a winter morning, I’d have laughed. Morning just wasn’t my thing and running in the morning was something I didn’t even consider. “I prefer to work out in the middle of the morning or in the afternoon,” I’d say to my friends who go to the gym before work. Then, last fall I reconnected with an old friend. She’d been running in the morning and taken off forty pounds. When I looked in the mirror, I knew I could benefit from the same kind of weight loss. I asked if I could join her. I knew I needed to change something if I was going to get back in shape. The first two months were especially hard, because we ran twice a week at 5:15 a.m. and I slept till 7:00 the other mornings. But as I’ve adjusted to the routine of running, I’ve discovered great joys that make it even more worthwhile than a little weight loss. While I haven’t lost forty pounds yet, it’s amazing how much more energy I have and how much stronger I feel. Because of the morning run, the rest of my day is more productive. I wouldn’t say I’ve become a morning person, but I would say morning running is now my thing. 1.What can we know about the author from paragraph 1? A. 5:15 a.m. is the best time for her to exercise. B. She prefers to run alone without any company. C. She goes for a run despite the cold and early rise. D. She always takes the run with many warm clothes on. 2.What was the author’s attitude to morning running a year ago? A. Unfavorable. B. Scared. C. Confused. D. Supportive. 3.What made the author begin to run in the morning? A. Her partner’s encouragement. B. Her friend’s suggestion. C. Realizing the harm of being fat. D. Realizing the benefits of running. 4.What effect does morning running have on the author? A. She has become slim again. B. She has become more energetic. C. She has become more confident. D. She has become more imaginative. 主题语境03 人与社会-社会服务与人际沟通 （25-26高一上·河南实验中学·期中）Harold Simmons never intended to become a neighborhood legend (传奇). At 73, he was just a retired worker with too much time and an empty backyard. What started as a simple garden railroad project quickly became something extraordinary. It began with a single circular track and an old steam engine he’d rescued from a sale. Each day, he would add tiny details — a tiny general store, a little church and some handcrafted trees. The neighborhood children would sometimes look over the fence, their eyes wide with wonder. One particularly curious 10-year-old named Maya started visiting regularly after school. Her working parents appreciated that Harold didn’t mind her watching him work. He’d explain each tiny detail. Word spread. Neighbors who had previously just waved politely stopped to admire Harold’s growing landscape. Children brought their parents. Retired workers shared stories about the real trains and towns the models represented. When the local elementary school heard about Harold’s project, they asked if he’d be willing to host a field trip. Harold was surprised. Suddenly, classrooms of children were learning history, engineering, and creativity through his tiny railroad. Maya convinced her uncle to create a website showing Harold’s railroad. It went popular locally and then regionally. People started sending him miniature (微型的) pieces like a tiny water tower from Wisconsin. Soon the railroad became a living history museum, a classroom, and a gathering place. On weekends, Harold would let children control the trains, their small hands carefully managing the controllers and their faces lit with pure joy. Some parents noticed their kids were learning patience, precision, and storytelling through this simple hobby. By the time Harold turned 80, his backyard had become a community landmark. Local schools included visits into their curriculum (课程). retirement homes organized group trips. Artists and historians turned to him. The tiny tracks became something magical, showing how passion, creativity, and openness could build connections far bigger than anyone could imagine. 1.Why did Harold start building the garden railroad? A. To kill his spare time. B. To host field trips. C. To train local children. D. To become famous. 2.What was the neighbors’ attitude toward Harold’s project? A. Critical. B. Negative. C. Appreciative. D. Uncertain. 3.Why did Harold’s project attract the local elementary school? A. It included a new steam engine. B. It had an educative value. C. It was praised on a website. D. It was a garden programme. 4.What lesson can we learn from the story? A. One is never too old to learn. B. Many hands make light work. C. Education knows no boundaries. D. Small things make a big difference. 主题语境04 人与自我-生活与学习 Passage 1 （25-26高一上·河南郑州外国语学校·期中）Last spring, my neighbor Donna and I, both in our seventies, spent several hours in the glorious sunshine enjoying the new season. When it was time to sit down and relax, Donna pulled out her red metal chair from her garage, and I sat on an overturned plastic bucket. It was fun to catch up on the news that we had missed during the long winter indoors. However, over the next few days, it turned out that we needed more than a chair and a bucket which were not quite comfortable. Donna decided we needed a bench. After ruling out unsuitable options from local stores, she found a perfect one online. The next day it arrived. Excitedly, she opened the box and started putting it together. We proudly highfived each other as the pieces joined up and the bench started to look like one. After a few minutes’ assistance from a neighbour, it was assembled. What’s more, it was ideal for two 70-somethings to carry on late afternoon chats. Soon, the bench attracted other neighbors. One day, someone called out from the sidewalk, “What do you do on that bench?” Quick-thinking Donna shouted back, “It’s our ‘Thinking Bench’! We think about important things happening in our lives.” Then, the name gradually evolved — after one neighbor sat alone deep in thought, he declared it a “Decision-Making Bench”; another time, when Donna was caught napping, she insisted she was “meditating (冥想)”, adding yet another name. Last fall, with the temperature falling, our outdoor days come to an end. We were faced with one dilemma — what to do about it in the winter? Well, we sat down and thought and meditated and decided to put it in Donna’s garage for the winter. When I glimpsed it a few times over the next months, the bench sat lonely, holding empty flower pots, and some flat, old boxes. But now after a long winter, spring flowers are ready to bloom in the warm sunshine, and we neighbours are ready to welcome “The Bench” back into our lives. 1.Donna decided to replace the chair and bucket to ________. A. lighten the carrying load B. attract more neighbours C. get better seating for conversations D. adapt to warmer weather 2.How did the bench get its various names? A. From items placed on it. B. From seasonal discussions. C. From Donna’s creative ideas. D. From users’ activities on it. 3.Why are pots and boxes mentioned in the last paragraph? A. To suggest the flowers would soon be planted. B. To describe the bench’s practical use in winter. C. To show the bench was not serving its purpose. D. To explain why the bench needed winter storage. 4.What does “The Bench” represent by the end of the story? A. A symbol of community bonds. B. A marker of individual free time. C. A reminder of the past summer. D. A memory of a valued online order. Passage 2 （25-26高一上·河南郑州第一中学·期中）My daughter said she wanted to redeem her room. The thought of tackling a room redecorating project intimidated me, but I knew that following through on helping my girl create a new space for herself would mean a lot to her. So, I worked up my courage. Together, my daughter and I set a budget for our project, spread paint samples on her wall and calculated how much paint we would need. And finally — a deep breath — we started painting. Neither of us had ever painted a room before. After rolling a paint roller across her wall for the first time, my daughter frowned and said, “Maybe we should hire someone to do the painting for us, Mom.” I couldn’t help wondering if she might be right, but I assured her that if we followed the painting pointers we had studied and took our time, we could do a fine job. I didn’t want her to miss out on the wonderful feeling of competence that comes from trying something you want to do but fear you might not be able to do. There had been many times when we’d realized we had been in the wrong way and had to do it again. We had to problem-solve with whoever might help. Finally, we finished the painting. It was not perfect, but the overall effect made my daughter really happy. It was her ideas and work that made all visible. Thinking about doing such a project with my daughter, it struck me that she got to see me being a rank beginner-messing up and starting over all the way. She watched me looking up answers when I needed them and asking for help when I hit dead ends. Instead of being an authority with all the answers, I learned with her. I showed my daughter what learning looks like, in all its messy glory. That’s definitely the best part I’ll treasure. 1.What does the underlined word “intimidated” in paragraph 1 probably mean? A. Inspired. B. Confused. C. Impressed. D. Frightened. 2.Why didn’t the author hire a painter? A. To exhibit her talent for decoration. B. To overcome her fear of failure. C. To keep the project under budget. D. To make the kid enjoy the joy of success. 3.What does the author think is the most rewarding part of this redecoration? A. Being a model learner. B. Being a success in decorating. C. Being a rank beginner. D. Being an authority with all answers. 4.Which of the following best describes the author? A. Graceful. B. Reflective. C. Ambitious. D. Demanding. Passage 3 （25-26高一上·河南叶县高中学·期中）The sound of my mother preparing breakfast fills the house — my morning alarm. As I walk toward the kitchen, I’m greeted by my mother standing over the cooker. She effortlessly cooks a dish that mixes Western and Eastern styles, a beloved breakfast classic in our family. This is my grandmother’s recipe (食谱). Since my grandmother’s passing, I’ve become more aware of my mother’s aging and her devotion to cooking for us. She has cooked for her family for more than 30 years, dividing her time between three countries — Korea, Canada and Germany. When my parents visit us from Korea, they stay with us for several months. My mother helps around the house, showing her cooking skills to provide delicious meals for me, my partner and our kids. In every other year, she and my dad will travel to Berlin to spend a couple of weeks with my sister and her partner. According to Statista, most Canadians report spending between 31 and 60 minutes preparing an average weekday dinner for themselves and others in their houses. Ten percent stated that they spend more than an hour preparing their evening meal. My mother belongs to that 10 percent. Her cooking goes beyond the kitchen, starting with careful grocery shopping trips where she examines produce and finds the best deals. She takes everyone’s preferences and needs into account. Helping her out in the kitchen requires a great deal of patience. Yet, I know it’s her way of expressing love. As I prepare the vegetables, she notices that my carrots are not evenly sized. She pushes me aside to take over the task. “Just do the dishes.” The meal she creates becomes a ritual (仪式), bringing the family together to connect and share. 1.What do we know about the author’s mother?

In 201l, Yang, from Tongren city in Guizhou province, created leaf vein (脉络) embroidery (刺绣) three months after a leaf cut her hand. The work is a perfect combination of traditional embroidery patterns and the natural textures (纹理) of the leaves. It has a unique aesthetic appeal of traditional embroidery matched with the characteristics of contemporary craftsmanship. As a native Miao woman with an inborn love of embroidery, Yang opened a folk culture products shop with her sister in 2011. “People are becoming less familiar with traditional handicrafts, and I want to contribute all I can to change this situation,” Yang says. At first, the small shop did not earn a significant income as there were many similar products on the market. She gradually realized that it was important to establish her own brand and launch products with distinct features. That’s when she was inspired by the cut. In July 2011, Yang accidentally cut her hand on a thorny leaf when she was hiking in Fanjing Mountain. A bold idea came into her head: “There are leaf-vein bookmarks and leaf-vein paintings. Why has nobody created leaf-vein embroider yet?” Obviously, the reason behind this is that embroidering on leaves requires delicate skills that few possess. The biggest technical challenge Yang faced was improving the flexibility of the leaves and making them as soft as cloth. On Oct 16, a day she will never forget, Yang finally created a shiny, thin and unbreakable piece of leaf vein. Her idea of leaf-vein embroidery came to completion after hundreds of experiments. Two years later, Yang opened an embroidery processing factory and offered jobs to more than 500 laid-off female workers, rural women and people with disabilities. “I will keep doing the leaf vein embroidery for the rest of my life because it is meaningful,” she says. 1.What do we know about Yang Li’s folk culture products shop? A. It was inspired by a cut by a leaf in her hand. B. It was a failure before she began to sell similar products. C. It was intended to preserve traditional Chinese handicrafts. D. It perfectly combined traditional Chinese books and drawings. 2.What is Yang Li’s difficulty in making her leaf-vein embroidery? A. Finding cloth with vein-like texture. B. Creating a new embroidery pattern. C. Changing leaves into unbreakable cloth. D. Softening up leaves for better flexibility. 3.Which of the following best describes Yang Li? A. Ambitious and innovative. B. Caring and patient. C. Persistent and demanding. D. Humorous and optimistic. 4.What is the text mainly about? A. An embroidery skill. B. A promising career. C. A cultural shop. D. An admirable artisan. 主题语境02 人与自我-生活与学习 Passage 1 （25-26高一上·河南郑州第十九中学模拟试卷二·期中）When I was 12 years old, I already knew that my teen years were going to be the worst years of my life. I was a total outsider, bullied (欺凌) at school. I felt completely alone in my small town. But by starting to do volunteer work when I was 14, I turned my problem into a passion for helping others. The opportunity to practice kindness made me feel like my life had a greater purpose. The more positive energy I shared, the more kindness and appreciation I received. I realized that my purpose in life would be to reach out to people, specifically teenagers, and help them feel less alone. Books were my true friends back then. I was so thankful that the authors wrote those books. The kindness they offered me with their books saved my life. One of my biggest dreams was to become an author so I could write books that would help other teenagers the way those books helped me.

Passage 2 （25-26高一上·河南天立教育·期中）At first sight, Easthope doesn’t seem much like a Cassandra (希腊神话人物). She smiles a lot. Her manner is kind and motherly; pushed to name her profession, you might guess at nurse or teacher. But look closer. Easthope is an emergency planner whose job is to support the survivors of major disasters, in which capacity she acted following the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami and the fire at Grenfell Tower. For two decades, the public knew nothing about this vital work, which went on behind the scenes, though she was hugely admired in what we might call professional disaster circles: a voice of calm and a fountain of wisdom. But in 2023, she published a best-selling book about her career, When the Dust Settles, and that changed. People became very interested in what she did. “At literary festivals, most authors get questions about their writing process,” Easthope says. “But I wouldn’t get those. What people wanted from me was to know how I lived with the knowledge that I have. Wasn’t I afraid? How did I handle it? I would tell them that I didn’t live afraid, and I would give them basic advice. But this wasn’t enough.” In the end, she felt she had no choice but to write a second book, one in which she would try to cover all that she has learned for the benefit of each individual. While her publisher describes Come What May as a road map for resilience (韧性), the word is one Easthope dislikes. Ready, she suggests, is a better one. Easthope also reminds people that small things, like losing hair during illness or consuming too much food after someone dies, still matter. She encourages people to remember, not to forget, what happened during disasters, because such events leave a long-lasting effect. 1.What might a Cassandra be like according to paragraph 1? A. Friendly and energetic. B. Competent and cautious. C. Cheerful and easy-going. D. Serious and unapproachable. 2.What led to increased public awareness of Easthope’s work in 2023? A. The publication of a best seller. B. Her involvement in 2004 tsunami relief. C. The growth of professional disaster circles. D. Her sudden rise to fame through media. 3.Why are readers’ questions cited in paragraph 3? A. To reveal Easthope’s personal fears. B. To explain Easthope’s writing process. C. To showcase Easthope’s writing motivation. D. To present public doubts about Easthope’s work. 4.What does Easthope agree on handling disasters? A. Forgetting aids recovery. B. Resilience matters most. C. Positive thinking takes the lead. D. Minor sufferings deserve attention. / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $函学科网 www.zxxk.com 让教与学更高效 专题04阅读理解（记叙文） 基础必练 主题语境01人与社会-历史、社会与文化 Passage 1 【答案】1.C2.C3.D4.B Passage 2 【答案】1.C2.B3.A4.D 主题语境02人与自我-生活与学习 Passage 1 【答案】1.B2.D3.A4C Passage 2 【答案】1.C2.A3.B4.B 进阶提升 主题语境01人与社会-历史、社会与文化 Passage 1 【答案】1.D2.B3.C4.B Passage 2 【答案】1.A2.B3.D4.C 主题语境02人与社会-文学、艺术与体育 【答案】1.C2.A3.D4.B 112 函学科网 www.zxxk.com 让教与学更高效 主题语境03人与社会-社会服务与人际沟通 【答案】1.A2.C3.B4.D 主题语境04人与自我-生活与学习 Passage 1 【答案】1.C2.D3.C4A Passage 2 【答案】1.D2.D3.A4.B Passage 3 【答案】1.C2.B3.B4.D 拓展培优 主题语境01人与社会-历史、社会与文化 【答案】1.C2.D3.A4D 主题语境02人与自我-生活与学习 Passage 1 【答案】1.C2.B3.B4.C Passage 2 【答案】1.D2.A3.C4.D 212 专题04 阅读理解（记叙文） 主题语境01 人与社会-历史、社会与文化 Passage 1 （25-26高一上·河南方城县第一高中学-10月·期中）Most children at age 9 are just interested in playtime and lighthearted fun. But for Aiden Wilkins of Collegeville, Pennsylvania, life looks a little different. He spends part of his week in a medical college classroom, studying together with students twice his age. “I could read signs when most kids at my age, around two years old, could hardly even speak,” Aiden remembered. His mother, Veronica, quickly realized he wasn’t like most children.“He was reading signs and correcting people’s sentences,” she said. An IQ test later proved what his family wondered: Aiden was particularly bright. By age 3, he was especially attracted to the brain anatomy (解剖) videos. That early interest has now grown into a clear goal — Aiden made up his mind to become a doctor. “It’s sad to see kids around my age with brain diseases, so I want to help them out,” he explained. Today, Aiden divides his time between high school courses at Reach Cyber Charter School and neuroscience classes at Ursinus College, becoming the youngest student in the school’s history. Three times a week, he’s on campus with college students. The rest of the week, he’s studying online like any other high schooler. Although he is doing well in his schoolwork, Aiden is still very much a kid at heart. He loves playing soccer and video games when he’s not studying. Veronica smiled with pride watching her son try to realize his dream. “It’s exciting because he’s making history and you know he feels great. I think it’s so important to be seen and heard,”she shared. With Johns Hopkins and Princeton already on his list for medical school, there’s no doubt that Aiden’s great journey is only just beginning. 1.What makes Aiden different from others? A. He shows no interest in playing. B. He mastered languages at two. C. He goes to college at a young age. D. He has difficulty understanding signs. 2.Why did Aiden decide to work as a doctor in the future? A. He wanted to make history. B. His family encouraged him. C. He hoped to help the sick children. D. His friends suffered from brain diseases. 3.What is Aiden’s present life like? A. He fails to find proper learning videos online. B. He struggles to get along with his classmates. C. He develops a new hobby of playing soccer. D. He keeps a good balance between school and life. 4.Which words can best describe Aiden? A. Hard-working and strict. B. Warm-hearted and clever. C. Fortunate and responsible. D. Creative and inspiring. 【答案】1. C　2. C　3. D　4. B 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述美国9岁男孩艾登·威尔金斯凭借超常智力，兼顾高中与大学神经科学课程，立志成为医生帮助患病儿童的故事。 (1)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“He spends part of his week in a medical college classroom, studying together with students twice his age.(他每周会有几天在医学院的教室里，和年龄是他两倍的学生一起学习)”以及第四段中的“becoming the youngest student in the school’s history(成为该校历史上最年轻的学生)”可知，艾登与他人的不同之处在于他年纪很小就进入了大学学习。故选C项。 (2)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“It’s sad to see kids around my age with brain diseases, so I want to help them out(看到和我差不多大的孩子患有脑部疾病，我很难过，所以我想帮助他们)”可知，艾登未来决定当医生是因为他希望帮助患病的儿童。故选C项。 (3)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Today, Aiden divides his time between high school courses at Reach Cyber Charter School and neuroscience classes at Ursinus College, becoming the youngest student in the school’s history. Three times a week, he’s on campus with college students. The rest of the week, he’s studying online like any other high schooler. Although he is doing well in his schoolwork, Aiden is still very much a kid at heart. He loves playing soccer and video games when he’s not studying (如今，艾登在瑞奇网络特许学校的高中课程和乌尔辛纳斯学院的神经科学课程之间分配时间，成了该校历史上最年轻的学生。他每周有三次会和大学生们一起在大学校园里学习，一周中其余时间则像其他高中生一样在线上学习。尽管学业表现出色，艾登骨子里仍是个孩子 —— 不学习的时候，他喜欢踢足球、玩电子游戏)”可知，艾登既能兼顾高中和大学的学习，也能享受休闲时光，在学业和生活之间保持了良好的平衡。故选D项。 (4)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“An IQ test later proved what his family wondered: Aiden was particularly bright(后来的智商测试证实了他家人的猜测：艾登非常聪明)”可知，艾登很聪慧；再根据第三段中的“It’s sad to see kids around my age with brain diseases, so I want to help them out(看到和我差不多大的孩子患有脑部疾病，我很难过，所以我想帮助他们)，可推断他心地善良、热心助人。“热心肠且聪明的”最能描述艾登。故选B项。 Passage 2 （25-26高一上·河南天立教育·期中）Crowded by defenders, Charlie Villanueva,one hand lifting the ball high, jump toward the basket. For a moment, he seems to hang in the air. Then, he pushes the ball down through the basket — a slam dunk (扣篮)! His career may look like a slam dunk, being a national champion at the University of Connecticut, and setting beginner records with the Toronto Raptors. However, life wasn’t always easy for him. His success comes not only from his basketball skills but also from how he dealt with a skin disease called alopecia areata (斑秃), which isn’t infectious. It happens when the body’s immune system goes wrong and attacks its own hair-growing cells. Charlie was affected at age 10 and lost all his hair by age 12. This made him a target for bullying (欺凌), leading him to shut away from others and hide under caps and hoods. With the support of his mother, Charlie found refuge in basketball. He turned his depression and stress into motivation, improving his skills to the point where his gift became more important than his condition. The bullying stopped, and his basketball career took off. All along the way, Charlie has continuously applied himself to helping others. Ever since his first year as a new player, he has served as a spokesperson for the National Alopecia Areata Foundation, and went on to set up the Charlie Villanueva Foundation, an organization aimed at supporting families with children suffering from alopecia and stopping all forms of bullying. As the son of immigrants from the Dominican Republic, he has even worked towards ending poverty in that country. Charlie encourages young people to accept their individuality and have confidence in themselves. “We’re all unique in our own ways,” he says, encouraging them to remember that with dedication and self-belief, any dream is within reach. 1.Why is Charlie’s slam dunk mentioned in Paragraph 1? A. To compare him with other champions. B. To explain how a slam dunk is performed. C. To highlight his skills and achievements. D. To show a specific moment in a game. 2.What made Charlie avoid his classmates? A. An infectious skin disease. B. His being made fun of. C. An error in the immune system. D. His average ability to play basketball. 3.Which of the following best describes Charlie? A. Strong-willed and helpful. B. Strict and responsible. C. Warm-hearted and humorous. D. Independent and creative. 4.What message does the author want to express in the text? A. Luck often comes to those who are ready. B. Actions speak louder than words. C. A thousand -mile journey begins with the first step. D. What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. 【答案】1. C　2. B　3. A　4. D 【解析】【导语】 这是一篇记叙文。本文主要讲述了篮球运动员查理·维兰纽瓦的成长经历，他克服脱发症和欺凌，通过篮球获得成功，并致力于帮助他人和反对欺凌。 (1)题解析： 推理判断题。由文章第一段中“Crowded by defenders, Charlie Villanueva, one hand lifting the ball high, jump toward the basket. For a moment, he seems to hang in the air. Then, he pushes the ball down through the basket — a slam dunk (扣篮)! His career may look like a slam dunk, being a national champion at the University of Connecticut, and setting beginner records with the Toronto Raptors. (被防守队员团团围住时，查理·维兰纽瓦单手将球高举，纵身跳向篮筐。那一刻，他仿佛悬停在空中。随后，他将球向下扣入篮筐——一记精彩的扣篮！他的职业生涯堪称顺风顺水：不仅在康涅狄格大学赢得全国冠军，还在多伦多猛龙队创下新秀纪录)”可知，提到他的扣篮是为了突出他的技能和成就。故选C。 (2)题解析： 细节理解题。由文章第二段中“Charlie was affected at age 10 and lost all his hair by age 12. This made him a target for bullying(欺凌), leading him to shut away from others and hide under caps and hoods. (查理10岁时患上了这种病，12岁便已头发全秃。这让他成为了欺凌的目标，致使他不愿与人交往，总是戴着帽子或连帽衫遮遮掩掩)”可知，被嘲笑使他避免与同龄人接触。故选B。 (3)题解析： 推理判断题。由文章第三段中“With the support of his mother, Charlie found refuge in basketball. He turned his depression and stress into motivation, improving his skills to the point where his gift became more important than his condition. The bullying stopped, and his basketball career took off. (在母亲的支持下，查理在篮球中找到了心灵的慰藉。他将抑郁与压力转化为动力，不断精进球技，最终让自身的天赋盖过了身体的缺憾。欺凌从此销声匿迹，他的篮球生涯也一举腾飞)”可知，他有坚强的意志。由文章第四段中“All along the way, Charlie has continuously applied himself to helping others. Ever since his first year as a new player, he has served as a spokesperson for the National Alopecia Areata Foundation, and went on to set up the Charlie Villanueva Foundation, an organization aimed at supporting families with children suffering from alopecia and stopping all forms of bullying.(一路走来，查理始终致力于帮助他人。自新秀赛季第一年起，他便担任美国国家斑秃基金会的形象大使，随后还成立了查理・维兰纽瓦基金会，该组织旨在为有斑秃患儿的家庭提供支持，并杜绝一切形式的欺凌行为)”可知，查理一直致力于帮助他人，这表明他是乐于助人的。因此，坚强意志和乐于助人最能描述查理。故选A。 (4)题解析： 推理判断题。通读全文，并结合文章第三段中“With the support of his mother, Charlie found refuge in basketball. He turned his depression and stress into motivation, improving his skills to the point where his gift became more important than his condition. The bullying stopped, and his basketball career took off. (在母亲的支持下，查理在篮球中找到了心灵的慰藉。他将抑郁与压力转化为动力，不断精进球技，最终让自身的天赋盖过了身体的缺憾。欺凌从此销声匿迹，他的篮球生涯也一举腾飞)”可知，查理虽然遭受了脱发症的困扰，但他凭借坚强的意志和乐于助人的品质，不仅在篮球上取得了成功，还积极帮助他人。这表明逆境使人更强大。故选D。 主题语境02 人与自我-生活与学习 Passage 1 （25-26高一上·河南豫北民办高中·期中）The Golden Week is just about to end and soon we will be back at school. It’s with both happiness and sadness. I look forward to seeing my friends and starting practice again, but it also means that I’m officially going through the placement test (分班考试) in less than half a year. From that time on I can choose some subjects I am good at and like. With school starting there are new club activities to try out and experience. For example, Lily is starting a new sport, Track. It’s similar to Cross Country, which I did before The Golden Week. Being here for a month now, I can easily tell the differences between my junior and senior schools. The hardest or most different part for me was to have the same schedule every day here. Honestly, I prefer to have different classes every day, as I did in my junior school. However, I have fallen in love with the Friday football games. Football is one of my favorite sports now. Before I came, I knew nothing about it. Now I love it, especially to watch it with my junior schoolmates. In Golden Week, we have also been so lucky to go to two school football games. Before I left school on the Golden Week, I had a test called Weekly Test. Mostly because I didn’t have too many hard classes, it went pretty smoothly. My favorite class is English, and also my hardest. Personally I really like English, where I could write essays (文章), challenge writing skills and improve English talking. With the end of the Golden Week, I expect to get starting again, starting a new sport and see my friends and classmates. 1.Why does the author feel sad before school starts again? A. Her homework is not finished. B. The placement test will take place soon. C. Her school life will get harder. D. The new sport no longer attracts her. 2.How does the author’s junior school differ from the one she is in now? A. The holidays are longer. B. The teachers are kinder. C. The meals are healthier. D. The courses are richer. 3.What does the author enjoy doing most with his junior schoolmates? A. Watching football matches. B. Playing video games. C. Having a talk in English. D. Visiting her relatives. 4.What does the underlined word “it” in the third paragraph refer to? A. Class. B. Game. C. Test. D. Student. 【答案】1. B　2. D　3. A　4. C 【解析】【导语】 本文为记叙文。文章讲述了作者在新校园的生活经历及其感受。 (1)题解析： 细节理解题。由第一段中“It’s with both happiness and sadness. I look forward to seeing my friends and starting practice again, but it also means that I’m officially going through the placement test (分班考试) in less than half a year. (它既有快乐也有悲伤。我期待着见到我的朋友，再次开始锻炼，但这也意味着我将在不到半年的时间里要正式通过分班考试)”可知，在学校重新开学之前，作者感到悲伤是因为分班考试将很快进行。故选B项。 (2)题解析： 推理判断题。由第二段中“The hardest or most different part for me was to have the same schedule every day here. Honestly, I prefer to have different classes every day, as I did in my junior school. Honestly, I prefer to have different classes every day, as I did in my junior school. (对我来说，最困难或最不同的部分是在这里每天都有相同的课程表。老实说，我更喜欢每天上不同的课，就像我在初中时一样)”可知，作者的初中学校与现在的学校不同之处在于作者的初中课程更丰富，每天都有不一样的课。故选D项。 (3)题解析： 细节理解题。由第二段中“However, I have fallen in love with the Friday football games. Football is one of my favorite sports now. Before I came, I knew nothing about it. Now I love it, especially to watch it with my junior schoolmates. (然而，我已经爱上了星期五的足球赛。足球是我现在最喜欢的运动之一。来之前，我对它一无所知。现在我很喜欢它，尤其是和初三的同学一起看)”可知，作者最喜欢和他的初三同学一起看足球比赛。故选A项。 (4)题解析： 词句猜测题。由第三段中“Before I left school on the Golden Week, I had a test called Weekly Test. Mostly because I didn’t have too many hard classes, it went pretty smoothly. (在黄金周离开学校之前，我参加了一个名为“周考”的考试。主要是因为我没有上太多难上的课，所以it一切都很顺利)”可知，it指代前文已经提及的东西，指的是测验“test”。故选C项。 Passage 2 （25-26高一上·河南·期中）Losing my hair was one of the most challenging parts of my cancer journey. It made my illness visible, drawing pitying looks wherever I went. At first, I hoped I might be one of the few who wouldn’t lose it, but soon I found more and more hair in my hairbrush. That was when I decided to shave (剃) it. My husband offered to help, but I needed to do it myself. I needed to face cancer — face to face in the mirror — and tell the disease that this act was under my control. Imight not control everything, but I could decide when the hair went. I refused to let it define me. But with a bald (光秃的) head, how could it not? I bought colourful bamboo hats and scarves, turning them into small celebrations of life. I also tried wigs (假发) , though I never liked them much. They never felt right. The woman I saw didn’t look like me, so I wore them only when I went out. At home, I preferred my soft, colourful hats that made me feel warm and comfortable. By the last day of treatment, my hair began to grow back. On my drive home, I took off my wig and tossed it into the back seat. I was done with wigs — ready to let my hair grow in peace. Interestingly enough, I’ve received many compliments on my short hair. Those who don’t know about my illness, thinking that I chose to cut my hair this short, comment on how great it looks. During the journey, I chose hope over fear. I felt the pain of the losses yet welcomed new beginnings. Cancer didn’t define me. It simply helped me find strength within. It was hard, but I was often surprised by moments of joy. 1.Why did the author shave herself? A. To show her present condition. B. To follow her family tradition. C. To regain a sense of self-control. D. To prepare for a new lifestyle. 2.How did the author deal with her bald head? A. By turning it into self-expression. B. By waiting for her hair to regrow. C. By staying home to avoid stares. D. By hiding it with colourful wigs. 3.What does the underlined word “compliments” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Pitying looks. B. Expressions of admiration. C. Useful tips. D. Polite greetings. 4.What would be a suitable title for the text? A. The Day I Lost My Hair B. Finding Strength in Hard Times C. The Art of Choosing Wigs D. The Power of Family Support 【答案】1. C　2. A　3. B　4. B 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述作者抗癌中脱发后剃发、接纳自我，在困境中找到内心力量的经历。 (1)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“I needed to face cancer — face to face in the mirror — and tell the disease that this act was under my control. I might not control everything, but I could decide when the hair went.(我需要直面癌症 —— 对着镜子面对面 —— 告诉这个疾病，这个行为是由我掌控的。我可能无法控制所有事情，但我可以决定头发什么时候掉)”可知，作者自己剃掉头发是为了重新找回对自身状况的掌控感，而非任由疾病摆布。故选C项。 (2)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“I bought colourful bamboo hats and scarves, turning them into small celebrations of life. I also tried wigs (假发) , though I never liked them much. They never felt right. The woman I saw didn’t look like me, so I wore them only when I went out. At home, I preferred my soft, colourful hats that made me feel warm and comfortable.(我买了五颜六色的竹帽和围巾，把它们变成生活的小庆祝。我也试过假发，虽然我不太喜欢。它们总是感觉不对。我看到的那个女人长得不像我，所以我只在出门的时候戴。在家里，我更喜欢我的柔软，色彩鲜艳的帽子，让我感到温暖和舒适)”可知，作者通过佩戴多彩的帽子和围巾来应对光头，将其转化为自我表达的方式。故选A项。 (3)题解析： 词句猜测题。根据第四段中的“Interestingly enough, I’ve received many compliments on my short hair. Those who don’t know about my illness, thinking that I chose to cut my hair this short, comment on how great it looks.(有趣的是，我的短发收到了很多compliments。那些不知道我生病的人，以为我是故意把头发剪这么短，都说看起来特别好看)”可知，有些不知道作者生病的人，说她的发型和适合她，很好看。由此猜测，compliments表示“称赞的话语，欣赏的话语”。故选B项。 (4)题解析： 主旨大意题。根据最后一段中的“During the journey, I chose hope over fear. I felt the pain of the losses yet welcomed new beginnings. Cancer didn’t define me. It simply helped me find strength within.(在这段旅程中，我选择希望而非恐惧。我感受着失去的痛苦，却也迎接新的开始。癌症没有定义我，它只是帮我找到了内心的力量)”可知，文章核心是作者在抗癌的艰难时光里找到内心的力量，因此B项“在困难时期寻找力量”是最贴合的标题。故选B项。 主题语境01 人与社会-历史、社会与文化 Passage 1 （25-26高一上·河南阳市华龙区濮阳市第一高级中学·期中）When my children were in school, each year at the end of summer, my wife and I would buy them all some new clothes for the coming school year. It is a habit that I have kept up over the years even though my sons with special needs are now both in their thirties and wear sizes larger than me. This year I got them both some new shirts and blue jeans to wear for the fall and winter to come. But when it was time to put them in the closets (壁橱) and dressers, there was just no space for them. There were too many old clothes from past years still in them. It was then that I decided to do some spring cleaning in autumn. I started to pull out the old clothes that were still in good condition but weren’t getting worn anymore. Of course, I didn’t leave my own closet out either. Soon we had two large bags full of clothes and carried them to the local charity (慈善机构), believing they could help keep other people warm. I think this feeling came from what I learned when I was a boy. When I was only eleven years old, my grandma’s old house caught fire and burned down in the middle of the night. We managed to get out but lost everything we owned. As painful as that experience was, though, it taught me a valuable lesson about just how little we need to be happy: All we really need is a little food in our stomachs, a roof (屋顶) over our heads, a few clothes on our backs, and love and faith in our hearts. The rest doesn’t add much. In fact, I found that having too many things can weigh you down and keep you from the happiness you want. 1.Why did the author begin to do the spring cleaning? A. To make his sons happy. B. To support the charity. C. To sell out the old clothing. D. To fit the new clothes in. 2.How did the author probably feel after his first spring cleaning? A. Regretful. B. Satisfied. C. Tired. D. Calm. 3.What did the author learn from the house fire? A. Finding a safe place to live isn’t easy. B. A house fire can easily happen at night. C. Owning much doesn’t necessarily bring happiness. D. Losing everything is the most painful experience in life. 4.What is the author’s purpose in writing this text? A. To encourage readers to care about charity. B. To share a personal story showing a life lesson. C. To describe the great challenges of raising children. D. To stress the importance of doing housework as a family. 【答案】1. D　2. B　3. C　4. B 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述作者多年来坚持给儿子买新衣服，今年因衣柜空间不足而进行“春季大扫除”，清理旧衣物捐赠慈善机构，并回忆童年时奶奶家失火的经历，分享“拥有太多并非幸福必需，简单生活更易获得快乐”的人生感悟。 (1)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“But when it was time to put them in the closets and dressers, there was just no space for them. There were too many old clothes from past years still in them. It was then that I decided to do some spring cleaning in autumn.(但当要把新衣服放进壁橱和抽屉时，却发现根本没有空间。里面还放着太多往年的旧衣服。就在那时，我决定在秋天进行一次春季大扫除。)”可知，作者开始大扫除的原因是要为新衣服腾出空间。故选D项。 (2)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Soon we had two large bags full of clothes and carried them to the local charity, believing they could help keep other people warm.(很快我们就装满了两大袋衣服，把它们送到了当地的慈善机构，相信这些衣服能帮助其他人抵御寒冷。)”可知，作者将旧衣物捐赠后，认为能帮助他人，结合后文分享的人生感悟，可推断他此时的心情是满足的。故选B项。 (3)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“it taught me a valuable lesson about just how little we need to be happy: All we really need is a little food in our stomachs, a roof over our heads, a few clothes on our backs, and love and faith in our hearts. The rest doesn’t add much. In fact, I found that having too many things can weigh you down and keep you from the happiness you want.(但这段经历给了我一个宝贵的教训：我们需要的快乐其实很少——我们真正需要的只是肚子里有一点食物，头顶有一片屋顶，身上有几件衣服，心中有爱和信念。其他的东西并没有多大意义。事实上，我发现拥有太多东西会成为你的负担，阻碍你获得想要的幸福。)”可知，作者从火灾中领悟到“拥有太多并不一定带来幸福”。故选C项。 (4)题解析： 推理判断题。通读全文，作者先讲述自己为新衣服清理旧衣物并捐赠的经历，再回忆童年火灾的往事，最终引出“拥有太多并非幸福必需”的人生感悟。由此可知，作者写作的目的是分享个人故事，传递从中领悟的人生道理。故选B项。 Passage 2 （2026·河南新未来大联考·期中）Claudine Wilson doesn’t like to be in the centre of attention. The Swedeborg School District’s former custodian (监护人) would rather clean classrooms or drive students to class. Except now, her name spreads across the newly named “Claudine Wilson Learning Centre”. At the start of the school year, the small community in central Missouri decided to celebrate Wilson’s more than 30 years of service by naming its K-8 elementary (小学) building in her honour. “I was in shock (震惊). I really didn’t know what was going on,” Wilson said. “It was an honour. It’s very nice that somebody thinks that much of me.” Wilson said she started working for the Swedeborg School District in 1992. The school only needed a custodian to work four hours a day at first, but as the school grew, so did Wilson’s role. She finally took on a list of jobs — students lovingly called Wilson their “bustodian” — like driving the bus, cutting the grass, and even answering the office phones. Wilson has mostly retired (退休) this school year, but she still helps on the bus a few days a week. After more than thirty years, Wilson said the kids are what kept her coming back. “I’m not a hero,” Wilson said. “I’m only here to do what I have to do for the kids.” Dr. Jim Bogle, a leader of the Swedeborg, said he met Wilson many years ago when he worked as a leader for another school. He said they would help each other out, like repairing a broken school roof together. Bogle said it was an easy decision to name the school building after Wilson — and the seven-member school board agreed. Chuck Boren, the current board president, called Wilson the “lifeblood (命脉)” of the school. He said that Wilson treats every student at the school like they were her own. “She’s there for them every day. It goes beyond just her duties as whether it’s custodian or bus driver. She’s very caring and understands the kids well,” Boren said. “She really forms a connection, a special relationship with each kid.” 1.Why was the K-8 elementary building named after Claudine Wilson? A. To honour her long service. B. To attract more students. C. To meet students’ wishes. D. To remember her retirement. 2.How did Wilson feel when learning the building was named after her? A. She felt proud and excited. B. She was surprised and honoured. C. She thought it was impossible. D. She was worried about the attention. 3.What is Dr. Jim Bogle’s attitude towards naming the school building after Claudine Wilson? A. He is doubtful about the decision. B. He thinks it was an unnecessary move. C. He feels angry about the naming. D. He supports the decision wholeheartedly. 4.Which can best describe the relationship between Wilson and the students? A. Uneasy. B. Strict. C. Close. D. Stressful. 【答案】1. A　2. B　3. D　4. C 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Claudine Wilson在Swedeborg学区工作超过30年，因其无私奉献和对学生无微不至的关怀，学校以她的名字命名了一栋K-8小学教学楼以表敬意。 (1)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第一段中“At the start of the school year, the small community in central Missouri decided to celebrate Wilson’s more than 30 years of service by naming its K-8 elementary building in her honour.(在学年开始时，密苏里州中部的小社区决定以Wilson的名字命名其K-8小学教学楼，以表彰她30多年的服务)”可知，为了纪念Claudine Wilson在该学区超过30年的服务，学校决定以她的名字命名这栋K-8小学教学楼。故选A项。 (2)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第二段中““I was in shock.

The alarm goes off and the only light is the red glow from my clock. My body says, “Go back to bed.” But I don’t. I know my running partner will be waiting in the street and I’m not going to stand her up. Then I walk onto the road, complaining about the cold and wishing I were back under my warm covers. If you’d have asked me a year ago if I could see myself running at 5:15 on a winter morning, I’d have laughed. Morning just wasn’t my thing and running in the morning was something I didn’t even consider. “I prefer to work out in the middle of the morning or in the afternoon,” I’d say to my friends who go to the gym before work. Then, last fall I reconnected with an old friend. She’d been running in the morning and taken off forty pounds. When I looked in the mirror, I knew I could benefit from the same kind of weight loss. I asked if I could join her. I knew I needed to change something if I was going to get back in shape. The first two months were especially hard, because we ran twice a week at 5:15 a.m. and I slept till 7:00 the other mornings. But as I’ve adjusted to the routine of running, I’ve discovered great joys that make it even more worthwhile than a little weight loss. While I haven’t lost forty pounds yet, it’s amazing how much more energy I have and how much stronger I feel. Because of the morning run, the rest of my day is more productive. I wouldn’t say I’ve become a morning person, but I would say morning running is now my thing. 1.What can we know about the author from paragraph 1? A. 5:15 a.m. is the best time for her to exercise. B. She prefers to run alone without any company. C. She goes for a run despite the cold and early rise. D. She always takes the run with many warm clothes on. 2.What was the author’s attitude to morning running a year ago? A. Unfavorable. B. Scared. C. Confused. D. Supportive. 3.What made the author begin to run in the morning? A. Her partner’s encouragement. B. Her friend’s suggestion. C. Realizing the harm of being fat. D. Realizing the benefits of running. 4.What effect does morning running have on the author? A. She has become slim again. B. She has become more energetic. C. She has become more confident. D. She has become more imaginative. 【答案】1. C　2. A　3. D　4.

At 73, he was just a retired worker with too much time and an empty backyard. What started as a simple garden railroad project quickly became something extraordinary. It began with a single circular track and an old steam engine he’d rescued from a sale. Each day, he would add tiny details — a tiny general store, a little church and some handcrafted trees. The neighborhood children would sometimes look over the fence, their eyes wide with wonder. One particularly curious 10-year-old named Maya started visiting regularly after school. Her working parents appreciated that Harold didn’t mind her watching him work. He’d explain each tiny detail. Word spread. Neighbors who had previously just waved politely stopped to admire Harold’s growing landscape. Children brought their parents. Retired workers shared stories about the real trains and towns the models represented. When the local elementary school heard about Harold’s project, they asked if he’d be willing to host a field trip. Harold was surprised. Suddenly, classrooms of children were learning history, engineering, and creativity through his tiny railroad. Maya convinced her uncle to create a website showing Harold’s railroad. It went popular locally and then regionally. People started sending him miniature (微型的) pieces like a tiny water tower from Wisconsin. Soon the railroad became a living history museum, a classroom, and a gathering place. On weekends, Harold would let children control the trains, their small hands carefully managing the controllers and their faces lit with pure joy. Some parents noticed their kids were learning patience, precision, and storytelling through this simple hobby. By the time Harold turned 80, his backyard had become a community landmark. Local schools included visits into their curriculum (课程). retirement homes organized group trips. Artists and historians turned to him. The tiny tracks became something magical, showing how passion, creativity, and openness could build connections far bigger than anyone could imagine. 1.Why did Harold start building the garden railroad? A. To kill his spare time. B. To host field trips. C. To train local children. D. To become famous. 2.What was the neighbors’ attitude toward Harold’s project? A. Critical. B. Negative. C. Appreciative. D. Uncertain. 3.Why did Harold’s project attract the local elementary school? A. It included a new steam engine. B. It had an educative value. C. It was praised on a website. D. It was a garden programme. 4.What lesson can we learn from the story? A. One is never too old to learn. B. Many hands make light work. C. Education knows no boundaries. D. Small things make a big difference. 【答案】1. A　2. C　3. B　4. D 【解析】【导语】 这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了73岁的退休工人Harold Simmons在自家后院建造了一个花园铁路模型，起初只是为了消磨时间，但这个项目逐渐吸引了邻居、孩子和学校的注意，最终成为社区的地标。 (1)题解析： 细节理解题。根据文章第一段中“At 73, he was just a retired worker with too much time and an empty backyard.( 73岁时，他只是一个退休工人，有太多的时间和空荡荡的后院)”可知，Harold开始建造花园铁路是为了消磨空闲时间。故选A项。 (2)题解析： 推理判断题。根据文章第三段中“Word spread. Neighbors who had previously just waved politely stopped to admire Harold’s growing landscape. Children brought their parents. Retired workers shared stories about the real trains and towns the models represented.( 消息传开了。以前只是礼貌挥手的邻居们停下来欣赏哈罗德不断扩大的景观。孩子们带着父母一起来。退休工人们分享了模型所代表的真实火车和城镇的故事)”可知，邻居们对Harold的项目是欣赏和喜爱的。故选C项。 (3)题解析： 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“When the local elementary school heard about Harold’s project, they asked if he’d be willing to host a field trip.

When it was time to sit down and relax, Donna pulled out her red metal chair from her garage, and I sat on an overturned plastic bucket. It was fun to catch up on the news that we had missed during the long winter indoors. However, over the next few days, it turned out that we needed more than a chair and a bucket which were not quite comfortable. Donna decided we needed a bench. After ruling out unsuitable options from local stores, she found a perfect one online. The next day it arrived. Excitedly, she opened the box and started putting it together. We proudly highfived each other as the pieces joined up and the bench started to look like one. After a few minutes’ assistance from a neighbour, it was assembled. What’s more, it was ideal for two 70-somethings to carry on late afternoon chats. Soon, the bench attracted other neighbors. One day, someone called out from the sidewalk, “What do you do on that bench?” Quick-thinking Donna shouted back, “It’s our ‘Thinking Bench’! We think about important things happening in our lives.” Then, the name gradually evolved — after one neighbor sat alone deep in thought, he declared it a “Decision-Making Bench”; another time, when Donna was caught napping, she insisted she was “meditating (冥想)”, adding yet another name. Last fall, with the temperature falling, our outdoor days come to an end. We were faced with one dilemma — what to do about it in the winter? Well, we sat down and thought and meditated and decided to put it in Donna’s garage for the winter. When I glimpsed it a few times over the next months, the bench sat lonely, holding empty flower pots, and some flat, old boxes. But now after a long winter, spring flowers are ready to bloom in the warm sunshine, and we neighbours are ready to welcome “The Bench” back into our lives. 1.Donna decided to replace the chair and bucket to ________. A. lighten the carrying load B. attract more neighbours C. get better seating for conversations D. adapt to warmer weather 2.How did the bench get its various names? A. From items placed on it. B. From seasonal discussions. C. From Donna’s creative ideas. D. From users’ activities on it. 3.Why are pots and boxes mentioned in the last paragraph? A. To suggest the flowers would soon be planted. B. To describe the bench’s practical use in winter. C. To show the bench was not serving its purpose. D. To explain why the bench needed winter storage. 4.What does “The Bench” represent by the end of the story? A. A symbol of community bonds. B. A marker of individual free time. C. A reminder of the past summer. D. A memory of a valued online order. 【答案】1. C　2. D　3. C　4.

Donna decided we needed a bench.(然而，在接下来的几天里，我们发现椅子和桶坐起来并不舒服，这些远远不够。唐娜决定我们需要一张长椅)”以及第二段末句“What’s more, it was ideal for two 70-somethings to carry on late afternoon chats.(此外，这张长椅非常适合两个七十多岁的人在傍晚继续聊天)”可知，换掉座椅是为了获得更舒适的、适合聊天的座位。故选C。 (2)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第三段内容“Soon, the bench attracted other neighbors. One day, someone called out from the sidewalk, “What do you do on that bench?” Quick-thinking Donna shouted back, “It’s our ‘Thinking Bench’! We think about important things happening in our lives.” Then, the name gradually evolved—after one neighbor sat alone deep in thought, he declared it a “Decision-Making Bench”; another time, when Donna was caught napping, she insisted she was “meditating”, adding yet another name.(很快，这张长椅吸引了其他邻居。有一天，有人从人行道上喊道：“你们在那张长椅上做什么？” 反应敏捷的唐娜大声回答：“这是我们的‘思考椅’！我们会思考生活中发生的重要事情。”后来，这个名字逐渐有了新的变化——有位邻居独自坐在上面陷入沉思后，称它为“决策椅”；还有一次，唐娜在上面打盹被发现，她坚称自己在“冥想”，又为长椅添了一个新名字)”可知，长椅的不同名字源于不同使用者在长椅上的不同行为活动。有人思考、有人做决定、有人打盹称冥想，名字随这些行为而产生。故选D。 (3)题解析： 细节理解题。根据末段首句“When I glimpsed it a few times over the next months, the bench sat lonely, holding empty flower pots, and some flat, old boxes.(在接下来的几个月里，我几次瞥见这张长椅，它孤零零地待在那里，上面放着空花盆和一些扁平的旧箱子)”可知，长椅冬日里沦为摆放杂物的工具，不再发挥其原本的作用。提及花盆和箱子，正是为了体现长椅此时未被用于原本的用途。故选C。 (4)题解析： 推理判断题。根据首段“Last spring, my neighbor Donna and I, both in our seventies, spent several hours in the glorious sunshine enjoying the new season. When it was time to sit down and relax, Donna pulled out her red metal chair from her garage, and I sat on an overturned plastic bucket. It was fun to catch up on the news that we had missed during the long winter indoors.(去年春天，我和邻居唐娜都已年过七旬，我们在明媚的阳光下待了好几个小时，惬意迎接这崭新的季节。到了坐下歇息的时候，唐娜从车库搬出她那把红色的金属椅子，我则坐在一个倒扣的塑料桶上。聊着我俩在漫长冬日里宅家错过的家长里短，这样的时光别提多惬意了)”、第三段内容“Soon, the bench attracted other neighbors. One day, someone called out from the sidewalk, “What do you do on that bench?” Quick-thinking Donna shouted back, “It’s our ‘Thinking Bench’! We think about important things happening in our lives.” Then, the name gradually evolved—after one neighbor sat alone deep in thought, he declared it a “Decision-Making Bench”; another time, when Donna was caught napping, she insisted she was “meditating”, adding yet another name.(很快，这张长椅吸引了其他邻居。有一天，有人从人行道上喊道：“你们在那张长椅上做什么？” 反应敏捷的唐娜大声回答：“这是我们的‘思考椅’！我们会思考生活中发生的重要事情。”后来，这个名字逐渐有了新的变化——有位邻居独自坐在上面陷入沉思后，称它为“决策椅”；还有一次，唐娜在上面打盹被发现，她坚称自己在“冥想”，又为长椅添了一个新名字)”以及末段末句“But now after a long winter, spring flowers are ready to bloom in the warm sunshine, and we neighbours are ready to welcome “The Bench” back into our lives.(但如今漫长的冬日已逝，春花即将在暖阳中绽放，我们这些邻居也准备好迎接 “这张长椅” 重新回到我们的生活中)”可推断，长椅最初是作者和唐娜的聊天座椅，随后吸引了其他邻居，被赋予多种充满生活气息的名字，成为邻里间互动的载体。冬日长椅被收进车库闲置，春日来临所有邻居都满心期待它的回归。因此，长椅串联起邻里间的交流与温情，成为邻里之间情感联结的纽带。故选A。 Passage 2 （25-26高一上·河南郑州第一中学·期中）My daughter said she wanted to redeem her room. The thought of tackling a room redecorating project intimidated me, but I knew that following through on helping my girl create a new space for herself would mean a lot to her. So, I worked up my courage. Together, my daughter and I set a budget for our project, spread paint samples on her wall and calculated how much paint we would need. And finally — a deep breath — we started painting. Neither of us had ever painted a room before. After rolling a paint roller across her wall for the first time, my daughter frowned and said, “Maybe we should hire someone to do the painting for us, Mom.” I couldn’t help wondering if she might be right, but I assured her that if we followed the painting pointers we had studied and took our time, we could do a fine job. I didn’t want her to miss out on the wonderful feeling of competence that comes from trying something you want to do but fear you might not be able to do. There had been many times when we’d realized we had been in the wrong way and had to do it again. We had to problem-solve with whoever might help. Finally, we finished the painting. It was not perfect, but the overall effect made my daughter really happy. It was her ideas and work that made all visible. Thinking about doing such a project with my daughter, it struck me that she got to see me being a rank beginner-messing up and starting over all the way. She watched me looking up answers when I needed them and asking for help when I hit dead ends. Instead of being an authority with all the answers, I learned with her. I showed my daughter what learning looks like, in all its messy glory. That’s definitely the best part I’ll treasure. 1.What does the underlined word “intimidated” in paragraph 1 probably mean? A. Inspired. B. Confused. C. Impressed. D. Frightened. 2.Why didn’t the author hire a painter? A. To exhibit her talent for decoration. B. To overcome her fear of failure. C. To keep the project under budget. D. To make the kid enjoy the joy of success. 3.What does the author think is the most rewarding part of this redecoration? A. Being a model learner. B. Being a success in decorating. C. Being a rank beginner. D. Being an authority with all answers. 4.Which of the following best describes the author? A. Graceful. B. Reflective. C. Ambitious. D. Demanding. 【答案】1. D　2. D　3. A　4.

That’s definitely the best part I’ll treasure.(我没有成为掌握所有答案的权威，而是和她一起学习。在所有混乱的荣耀中，我向女儿展示了学习是什么样子的。这绝对是我最珍惜的部分)”可知，作者认为这次重新装修最有收获的部分是成为榜样学习者。故选A。 (4)题解析： 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“We had to problem-solve with whoever might help. Finally, we finished the painting.(我们必须与任何能帮忙的人一起解决问题。最后，我们完成了这幅画)”和最后一段“She watched me looking up answers when I needed them and asking for help when I hit dead ends.

(当我需要答案时，她看着我查找答案，当我陷入绝境时，她会寻求帮助。我没有成为掌握所有答案的权威，而是和她一起学习。在所有混乱的荣耀中，我向女儿展示了学习是什么样子的)”可推知，作者是一个反思型的家长。故选B。 Passage 3 （25-26高一上·河南叶县高中学·期中）The sound of my mother preparing breakfast fills the house — my morning alarm. As I walk toward the kitchen, I’m greeted by my mother standing over the cooker. She effortlessly cooks a dish that mixes Western and Eastern styles, a beloved breakfast classic in our family. This is my grandmother’s recipe (食谱). Since my grandmother’s passing, I’ve become more aware of my mother’s aging and her devotion to cooking for us. She has cooked for her family for more than 30 years, dividing her time between three countries — Korea, Canada and Germany. When my parents visit us from Korea, they stay with us for several months. My mother helps around the house, showing her cooking skills to provide delicious meals for me, my partner and our kids. In every other year, she and my dad will travel to Berlin to spend a couple of weeks with my sister and her partner. According to Statista, most Canadians report spending between 31 and 60 minutes preparing an average weekday dinner for themselves and others in their houses. Ten percent stated that they spend more than an hour preparing their evening meal. My mother belongs to that 10 percent. Her cooking goes beyond the kitchen, starting with careful grocery shopping trips where she examines produce and finds the best deals. She takes everyone’s preferences and needs into account. Helping her out in the kitchen requires a great deal of patience. Yet, I know it’s her way of expressing love. As I prepare the vegetables, she notices that my carrots are not evenly sized. She pushes me aside to take over the task. “Just do the dishes.” The meal she creates becomes a ritual (仪式), bringing the family together to connect and share. 1.What do we know about the author’s mother? A. She has more than two children. B. She lives with the author in Korea. C. She has great cooking skills. D. She invented the family beloved breakfast classic. 2.What’s the purpose of listing data about meal preparation time from paragraph 4? A. To present a common problem. B. To show her mother’s love. C. To stress the importance of home-cooked meals. D. To explain the reasons behind infrequent cooking. 3.What can be inferred from the underlined sentence in the last paragraph? A. Her mother dislikes being bothered. B. Her mother expects perfection in cooking. C. Her mother gets angry easily. D. Her mother wants to teach her everything. 4.Which is the best title for the text? A. Mother’s Recipe Is the Best in the World. B. Mother’s Love Needs to Be Responded to. C. Mother’s Selflessness Inspires My Family. D. Mother’s Kitchen draws Us Closer Together. 【答案】1. C　2. B　3. B　4. D 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述作者母亲厨艺精湛，为家人精心烹饪，其厨房时光让家人关系更紧密。 (1)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第二段“She effortlessly cooks a dish that mixes Western and Eastern styles, a beloved breakfast classic in our family.

Ten percent stated that they spend more than an hour preparing their evening meal. My mother belongs to that 10 percent. (根据Statista，大多数加拿大人表示在自己家中准备平日晚餐的时间在31到60分钟之间。有10%的人表示他们会花费超过一个小时来准备晚餐。我的母亲就属于这10%的人群。)”可知，第四段提到大多数加拿大人准备晚餐花费的时间，以及母亲属于花费超过一小时准备晚餐的10%人群。通过与一般人准备晚餐时间对比，突出母亲花费大量时间做饭，从而体现母亲对家人的爱。故选B。 (3)题解析： 推理判断题。根据划线词前句“Her cooking goes beyond the kitchen, starting with careful grocery shopping trips where she examines produce and finds the best deals. (她的厨艺不仅限于厨房之内，从精心挑选食材的购物之旅开始，她会仔细查看各类农产品，并寻找最划算的购买时机。)”和后文“As I prepare the vegetables, she notices that my carrots are not evenly sized. She pushes me aside to take over the task. (当我准备蔬菜时，她注意到我的胡萝卜大小不一。她把我拉开，自己接手这项任务。)”可推断，母亲在烹饪方面追求完美。故选B。 (4)题解析： 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“The meal she creates becomes a ritual (仪式), bringing the family together to connect and share. (她所烹制的这顿饭成了一个仪式，让全家人聚在一起交流和分享。)”及全文可知，文章主要讲述母亲高超的厨艺，精心准备饭菜，而这些饭菜成为一种仪式，让家人聚在一起交流分享，拉近了家人的距离。所以“Mother’s Kitchen draws Us Closer Together. (母亲的厨房让我们更加亲密地相聚在一起。)”作为文章标题最为合适。故选D。 主题语境01 人与社会-历史、社会与文化 （25-26高一上·河南郑州第十九中学模拟试卷一·期中）A small accident led to profound changes in the life of Yang Li, an artisan (手艺人), who is from the Miao ethnic group. In 201l, Yang, from Tongren city in Guizhou province, created leaf vein (脉络) embroidery (刺绣) three months after a leaf cut her hand. The work is a perfect combination of traditional embroidery patterns and the natural textures (纹理) of the leaves. It has a unique aesthetic appeal of traditional embroidery matched with the characteristics of contemporary craftsmanship. As a native Miao woman with an inborn love of embroidery, Yang opened a folk culture products shop with her sister in 2011. “People are becoming less familiar with traditional handicrafts, and I want to contribute all I can to change this situation,” Yang says. At first, the small shop did not earn a significant income as there were many similar products on the market. She gradually realized that it was important to establish her own brand and launch products with distinct features. That’s when she was inspired by the cut. In July 2011, Yang accidentally cut her hand on a thorny leaf when she was hiking in Fanjing Mountain. A bold idea came into her head: “There are leaf-vein bookmarks and leaf-vein paintings. Why has nobody created leaf-vein embroider yet?” Obviously, the reason behind this is that embroidering on leaves requires delicate skills that few possess. The biggest technical challenge Yang faced was improving the flexibility of the leaves and making them as soft as cloth. On Oct 16, a day she will never forget, Yang finally created a shiny, thin and unbreakable piece of leaf vein. Her idea of leaf-vein embroidery came to completion after hundreds of experiments. Two years later, Yang opened an embroidery processing factory and offered jobs to more than 500 laid-off female workers, rural women and people with disabilities. “I will keep doing the leaf vein embroidery for the rest of my life because it is meaningful,” she says. 1.What do we know about Yang Li’s folk culture products shop? A. It was inspired by a cut by a leaf in her hand. B. It was a failure before she began to sell similar products. C. It was intended to preserve traditional Chinese handicrafts. D. It perfectly combined traditional Chinese books and drawings. 2.What is Yang Li’s difficulty in making her leaf-vein embroidery? A. Finding cloth with vein-like texture. B. Creating a new embroidery pattern. C. Changing leaves into unbreakable cloth. D. Softening up leaves for better flexibility. 3.Which of the following best describes Yang Li? A. Ambitious and innovative. B. Caring and patient. C. Persistent and demanding. D. Humorous and optimistic. 4.What is the text mainly about? A. An embroidery skill. B. A promising career. C. A cultural shop. D. An admirable artisan. 【答案】1. C　2. D　3. A　4. D 【解析】【导语】 这是一篇记叙文，文章主要介绍了一位苗族绣娘杨丽，因手指被树叶划破而创作出“叶脉绣”的故事。 (1)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第三段中“‘People are becoming less familiar with traditional handicrafts, and I want to contribute all I can to change this situation,’ Yang says.(人们对于传统手工艺越来越陌生了，我想尽我所能来改变这种状况)”可知，杨丽的民俗文化特产店是为了保护中国的传统手工艺。故选C。 (2)题解析： 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“The biggest technical challenge Yang faced was improving the flexibility of the leaves and making them as soft as cloth.(杨丽面临的最大技术挑战是提高叶子的柔韧性，让它们像布料一样柔软)”可知，杨丽在制作叶脉绣时遇到的困境是软化叶子以获得更好的灵活性。故选D。 (3)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第一段“In 2011, Yang, from Tongren city in Guizhou province, created leaf vein (脉络) embroidery (刺绣) three months after a leaf cut her hand.(2011年，来自贵州铜仁市的杨女士在一片树叶割伤了手三个月后创作了叶脉刺绣)”可知，杨丽很有创造性，根据最后一段“Two years later, Yang opened an embroidery processing factory and offered jobs to more than 500 laid-off female workers, rural women and people with disabilities. ‘I will keep doing the leaf vein embroidery for the rest of my life because it is meaningful,’ she says.(两年后，杨丽开了一家刺绣加工厂，为500多名下岗女工、农村妇女和残疾人提供了就业机会。她说：‘我这辈子都会继续做叶脉刺绣，因为它很有意义。’)”可知，杨丽有野心。故选A。 (4)题解析： 主旨大意题。根据全文内容，结合第一段中“In 2011, Yang, from Tongren city in Guizhou province, created leaf vein (脉络) embroidery (刺绣) three months after a leaf cut her hand.(2011年，来自贵州铜仁市的杨女士在一片树叶割伤了手三个月后创作了叶脉刺绣)”可知，文章主要介绍了一位苗族绣娘杨丽，因手指被树叶划破而创作出“叶脉绣”的故事，她致力于发展刺绣产业，帮助传承民族传统技艺。故D项“一位令人敬佩的手艺人”能够总结文章大意。故选D。 主题语境02 人与自我-生活与学习 Passage 1 （25-26高一上·河南郑州第十九中学模拟试卷二·期中）When I was 12 years old, I already knew that my teen years were going to be the worst years of my life.

Her manner is kind and motherly; pushed to name her profession, you might guess at nurse or teacher. But look closer. Easthope is an emergency planner whose job is to support the survivors of major disasters, in which capacity she acted following the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami and the fire at Grenfell Tower. For two decades, the public knew nothing about this vital work, which went on behind the scenes, though she was hugely admired in what we might call professional disaster circles: a voice of calm and a fountain of wisdom. But in 2023, she published a best-selling book about her career, When the Dust Settles, and that changed. People became very interested in what she did. “At literary festivals, most authors get questions about their writing process,” Easthope says. “But I wouldn’t get those. What people wanted from me was to know how I lived with the knowledge that I have. Wasn’t I afraid? How did I handle it? I would tell them that I didn’t live afraid, and I would give them basic advice. But this wasn’t enough.” In the end, she felt she had no choice but to write a second book, one in which she would try to cover all that she has learned for the benefit of each individual. While her publisher describes Come What May as a road map for resilience (韧性), the word is one Easthope dislikes. Ready, she suggests, is a better one. Easthope also reminds people that small things, like losing hair during illness or consuming too much food after someone dies, still matter. She encourages people to remember, not to forget, what happened during disasters, because such events leave a long-lasting effect. 1.What might a Cassandra be like according to paragraph 1? A. Friendly and energetic. B. Competent and cautious. C. Cheerful and easy-going. D. Serious and unapproachable. 2.What led to increased public awareness of Easthope’s work in 2023? A. The publication of a best seller. B. Her involvement in 2004 tsunami relief. C. The growth of professional disaster circles. D. Her sudden rise to fame through media. 3.Why are readers’ questions cited in paragraph 3? A. To reveal Easthope’s personal fears. B. To explain Easthope’s writing process. C. To showcase Easthope’s writing motivation. D. To present public doubts about Easthope’s work. 4.What does Easthope agree on handling disasters? A. Forgetting aids recovery. B. Resilience matters most. C. Positive thinking takes the lead. D. Minor sufferings deserve attention. 【答案】1. D　2. A　3. C　4. D 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了紧急事务规划师露西·伊斯特霍普及其工作，描述了她如何从幕后走向公众视野，通过写书分享应对灾难的知识，并阐述了她对灾后恢复及关注微小痛苦的见解。 (1)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第一段“At first sight, Easthope doesn’t seem much like a Cassandra (希腊神话人物). She smiles a lot. Her manner is kind and motherly; pushed to name her profession, you might guess at nurse or teacher. But look closer.(乍一看，伊斯特霍普似乎不太像一位卡珊德拉(希腊神话人物)。她经常微笑。她的举止和蔼，像母亲一样；要你猜她的职业，你可能会猜是护士或老师。但是再仔细看)” 这里提到伊斯特霍普给人的表面印象是“微笑很多”、“和蔼可亲”，但这与“卡珊德拉”给人的感觉不同，因此暗示“卡珊德拉”的形象可能与伊斯特霍普给人的亲切、随和的第一印象相反，即可能比较“严肃、不易接近”。故选D项。 (2)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第二段中“But in 2023, she published a best-selling book about her career, When the Dust Settles, and that changed. People became very interested in what she did.(但在2023年，她出版了一本关于她职业生涯的畅销书《尘埃落定》，情况就此改变。人们开始对她的工作非常感兴趣)”可知，2023年公众对她工作的认知度提升，直接原因是一本畅销书的出版。故选A项。 (3)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第三段““At literary festivals, most authors get questions about their writing process,” Easthope says. “But I wouldn’t get those. What people wanted from me was to know how I lived with the knowledge that I have. Wasn’t I afraid? How did I handle it? I would tell them that I didn’t live afraid, and I would give them basic advice. But this wasn’t enough.” In the end, she felt she had no choice but to write a second book, one in which she would try to cover all that she has learned for the benefit of each individual.(“在文学节上，大多数作者会被问到关于写作过程的问题，”伊斯特霍普说，“但我不会被问这些。人们想从我这里知道的是，我如何带着我所掌握的知识生活。我不害怕吗？我是如何应对的？我会告诉他们我并非活在恐惧中，并给他们一些基本的建议。但这还不够。”最终，她感到别无选择，只能再写一本书，一本试图总结她所学到的一切、以惠及每个人的书)”可推知， 引用读者的提问，是为了说明公众的关注点与常规作者不同，他们迫切想了解伊斯特霍普如何处理她所知的灾难知识，这种强烈的需求最终促使她产生了写作第二本书的动机。故选C项。 (4)题解析： 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Easthope also reminds people that small things, like losing hair during illness or consuming too much food after someone dies, still matter.(伊斯特霍普还提醒人们，小事也很重要，比如生病时脱发，或有人在去世后暴饮暴食)”可知，伊斯特霍普认为，灾难中的微小痛苦或细节也值得关注。故选D项。 / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
