Just as we accepted the wait, I worried a lot: I’d left our new camera, which cost $1, 500, in the rental car. I rushed to call the taxi company, and to my relief, they said the driver was coming to return the camera. When meeting me, he even turned down the reward I offered. When I got the camera and returned to the line to wait, the crowd had grown even bigger. I was sure I’d miss our flight. Then a security officer walked over, smiling. “People like you have a special entrance — no need to wait in line,” he said, gesturing for me to follow. He explained this special channel (通道) was set up to keep crowds orderly, and then he talked excitedly about my “movies” — Solo: A Star Wars Story, Champions and Now You See Me. That’s when I realized: he thought I was Woody Harrelson, an actor I’m always mistaken for. When he asked about the Champions cast, I laughed and said I hadn’t seen them in forever. As we reached a private security room, fear hit — I didn’t want trouble from the mix-up. I tried to show my ID, but he waved it off. “People like you use false names, right?” he said. I quickly said the first name that came to mind: “Karl Haffner”. Later I realized Karl and Woody share strange similarities — the same hometown, height, even eating only plants. Before I knew it, I was through security and waiting at the gate with the camera. Cherié looked at me with wide eyes, saying, “How did you cut the line?” I smiled broadly, holding up the camera. “Call me Woody—I got through the airport’s special channel for public figures,” I said. She rolled her eyes but laughed when I told her the story. To this day, I still feel special, for the happy mistake that reminded me: life’s best moments aren’t planned. A little mix-up and lots of laughter are all you need to make a trip unforgettable. 1.Why did the author phone the taxi company? A. To get the lost camera. B. To book another taxi ride. C. To return the rental camera. D. To express thanks for the service. 2.What happened to the author when he was waiting in line again? A. He kept the crowds orderly. B. He met Woody Harrelson. C. He was mistaken for an actor. D. He talked about his movies. 3.How did Cherié feel when seeing her husband according to paragraph 4? A. Annoyed. B. Frightened. C. Anxious. D. Curious. 4.What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Going with the Flow B. Believing in Strangers C. Enjoying a Happy Mistake D. Buying a Ticket to Life Passage 2 （25-26高二上·河南郑州宇华实验学校-11月·期中）Gitanjali Rao, born in 2005, is an Indian American writer and scientist. Her parents, who both worked in education, encouraged her curiosity and love for learning. When she was four years old, her uncle gave her a science set. This small gift got her very interested in how things work. At seven, she earned the title Davidson Young Scholar because of her strong skills in science and math. In 2017, Rao won the first place in the Discovery Education 3M Young Scientist Challenge. This brought her wide attention. She decided to use her talents to solve real problems.

As a student from Fairfax’s Woodson High School, Bekele divides his time between the classroom and the lab at Johns Hopkins University, where he’s inventing a soap that could one day treat the deadly disease. “I was raised under the thought that I could always ask questions, and be as curious as possible,” Bekele said. “ And this pushed me to the field of science.” Some of Bekele’s earliest memories were seeing farmers work under the terrible heat with no heat protection from the sun’s UV rays in Ethiopia, where he was born. This was one factor that made him tackle skin cancer after he moved to the US. At home, Bekele — who’d entertain himself for hours as a child by mixing together any household products he could get his hands on and seeing what would happen — began wondering how he could help. “ What’s one thing that is an internationally impactful idea, something everyone can use, regardless of socioeconomic class?” Bekele asked himself. “Almost everyone uses soap and water for cleaning. So soap would probably be the best option.” So Bekele began his deliberate trial- and- error process, which led him to learn about a cream- based skin cancer treatment called Imiquimod that did produce desired results — but can cost as much as $180 for the uninsured in America. Inspired by the cream, Bekele designed his affordable soap. Bekele knew he’d need an actual lab to refine his creation. Bekele applied to — and won— the Minnesota- based tech company 3M’s Young Scientist Challenge in 2023, securing$25,000 and the title of “America’s Top Young Scientist”. Now, with the help of Johns Hopkins’ professor and biologist Vito Rebecca, Bekele has been testing the soap on mice at the university’s lab for almost half a year. The soap still has a long way to go: Testing, patenting it and getting FDA certification could take a decade. But even then, Bekele will only be 25 years old. 1.What initially inspired Bekele to come up with his idea to cure skin cancer? A. The farmers’ exposure to the hot sun. B. His journey from the classroom to the lab. C. The deadly disease he once suffered from. D. His being named Time’s Kid of the Year. 2.What do we know about Imiquimod? A. It was invented by Bekele. B. Bekele proved its side effects. C. It is effective but expensive. D. Bekele produced it for his soap. 3.Why did Bekele participate in the Young Scientist Challenge? A. To meet Professor Vito Rebecca. B. To get support to better his soap. C. To gain the soap patent from 3M. D. To promote ready- made products. 4.What can we learn from Bekele’s story? A. Thinking and action mean potential success. B. Success will get personal desires satisfied. C. Being famous is a great thirst of the young. D. Geniuses tend to get things done creatively. 主题语境03 人与自我-生活与学习 （25-26高二上·河南阳市华龙区濮阳市第一高级中学·期中）Kenny Lake School in Copper Center, Alaska, is small. Jennifer Hodges is a third, fourth and fifth grade teacher. She says her three-grade class sits only at desks for 20 minutes a day. They do a lot of practical learning, such as raising Cho salmon (鲑鱼) from egg to Alevin to fry and then releasing them into a lake. During the months when the salmon are in the classroom, students like to sit by the tank to observe. “When the eggs hatch, they have sacs that carry their food,” says Addy, a student. “That way they can hide still and don’t have to look for food. It’s funny because when they try to swim they just end up in circles.” Students like to calculate when the salmon will turn from eggs to Alevin to fry based on the temperature of the tank. To them, it’s not practicing math problems: it’s predicting the future. “We always take a guess at when they will hatch from their eggs first,” says Liam, a student. “It takes math because you have to keep track of their temperature and calculate. I’m good at math so I usually get it right.” Since Hodges and her students live in such a rural area, there aren’t many field trips. But each year in May, she takes her students on the Salmon Field Trip, where they get to release the salmon they’ve raised in class. They will name the fish, then release them into the wild and never see them again. But it’s not sad: it’s the highlight of the year. “The best part is getting to release them after watching them hatch from eggs, grow into fry and take care of them,” says Fisher, a student. “You get to say goodbye.” “I went to release them last year and the lake still was covered part way with ice,” says Styrling, a student. “I fell in. It was cold, but it was still funny.” 1.What can be inferred about Alevin according to the text? A. It is a kind of small fish. B. It is a new type of cooker. C. It only can be found in rural areas. D. It’s the most popular class for students. 2.What does the underlined word “sacs” mean in paragraph 2? A. Circles. B. Grasses. C. Partners. D. Bags. 3.What are the most impressive for the students? A. offering the fish names. B. Freeing the salmon into a lake. C. Sitting at desks for 20 minutes. D. Calculating when eggs are hatched. 4.What can be the suitable title for the text? A. Students Had a Field Trip B. A Busy and Successful Teacher C. There Are More Ways to Learn D. The Salmon in the Classroom 主题语境01 人与社会-历史、社会与文化 Passage 1 （25-26高二上·河南平顶山青桐鸣联考·期中）“The first moment that I started to plant a seed (种子) here in Oregon, it was something exciting because in my country, I did it with my parents when I was little. It is a culture that one already carries in the heart, in the blood — one where you get used to growing your own food, ” said Maxi Hernández. That tradition became the base of her farm, Mr. Farm, where she grows fresh food to feed her community and families. She used her small garden to not only feed her families but also share vegetables with neighbors door-to-door, a practice that motivated her to do more. Maxi soon noticed a bigger need: her community, especially Latinos, lacked access to fresh produce. Many received canned (罐装的) food, which deviated from Latino culture’s love for fresh produce — so many canned items went unused, resulting in waste. This, paired with the fact that nearly 14 million US Latinos face food problems, pushed her to act. She connected with Oregon Food Bank through Guerreras Latinas, became an official, and now uses their resources to help families — especially those on low incomes — get healthy food. As a mother, farming led her to take pride in serving her children fresh, healthy vegetables. It also led her to leave a restaurant job for the passion of growing food for others — she now calls herself “a farmer”. Now in her third year of farming, she aims to expand beyond a family business: she wants to hire others and grow more vegetables, believing “everyone is part of the community because we all have to eat. ” Maxi’s idea matches Feeding America’s goal to end hunger. “No human being should go hungry, and we all have the right to have food on our tables,” she says. This wish keeps her fighting, as she knows unity (团结) can make that goal a reality — one fresh vegetable at a time. 1.Why did Maxi Hernández feel excited at planting a seed in Oregon? A. It let her share food nearby. B. It reminded her of childhood. C. It led to her farm. D. It was her local food culture. 2.What do the underlined words “deviated from” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Agreed with. B. Depended on. C. Went against. D. Belonged to. 3.What can we learn about farming from paragraph 3? A. It is Maxi’s part-time job. B. It helps Maxi reconnect with her kids. C. It has made Maxi love her restaurant job. D. It has reshaped Maxi’s life in some degree. 4.What does the last paragraph mainly tell us about Maxi? A. She uses vegetables to fight hunger. B. She connects her aim with ending hunger. C. She advocates growing one’s own food. D. She ignores the role of unity in her goal. Passage 2 （25-26高二上·河南驻马店九师联盟联考·期中）At 58, Tom Cillo is living his dream of playing college football. The shouts of “Yeah, Tom!” began as he stepped onto the field at Girardi Stadium. After taking a few steps to shake off his nerves and playfully cupping his ear toward the crowd, the country’s oldest freshman player took his position on the defensive line. Across from him was Anthony D’Antonio, a freshman center decades younger. They exchanged a respectful handshake before the play began. Moments later, the whistle blew, and Cillo officially became an NCAA Division Ⅲ player, free from the burden of “What if I had tried?” Cillo’s journey began during a conversation with his longtime friend Dave Bellomo. Having recently left his job with the Williamsport Recreation Department, Cillo shared his regrets about never attending college or playing football. Bellomo encouraged him, asking, “Why don’t you?” With his children grown and his wife supportive, Cillo decided it was time to act. “I wanted regret out of the picture altogether,” he said. Bellomo designed a rigorous training plan for Cillo. It included full-speed hill runs where Cillo carried a 100-pound rock, along with stretching and recovery treatments. Meanwhile, Cillo applied to Lycoming College, where he intended to major in criminal justice and pay his own tuition. “I’m taking a risk academically, physically, and financially,” he admitted, “but I’m smiling through the stress.” Cillo’s strength impressed his teammates, but learning the game was challenging. “Some days I’d wake up and say, ‘You’ve got to get around,’ and my body would say, ‘Slow down, brother,’” he recalled. Despite the difficulties, he pushed on through the training camp and earned his spot on the team. Though playing time is limited, Cillo’s impact extends beyond the field. He offers rides, buys meals, and provides advice, endearing himself to his teammates. “Everyone just loves him,” said Mason Woodward, a fellow defensive lineman. Cillo hopes his story inspires others. “I know there are people out there holding themselves back,” he said. “If you have a dream, follow through with it.” For Cillo, it’s never too late to pursue a passion. 1.What motivated Tom Cillo to follow his dream of playing college football? A. His wish to impress his wife. B. His friend’s encouragement. C. His desire to become famous. D. His hope to make more money. 2.What does the underlined word “rigorous” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Relaxing. B. Simple. C. Interesting. D. Strict. 3.Which words can best describe Tom Cillo? A. Regretful and nervous. B. Wealthy and generous. C. Brave and determined. D. Impatient and careless. 4.What message can we get from Tom Cillo’s story? A. Age is not a roadblock on the path to dreams. B. College football teams welcome older players. C. Quitting jobs is necessary for realizing dreams. D. Financial risk is unavoidable for studying again. Passage 3 （25-26高二上·河南郑州十校联考·期中）Compared with physicists such as Marie Curie or Richard Feynman, Wu Chien-shiung is not a household name in China but she was one of the most influential nuclear physicists of the 20th century, one that “completely” changed human’s view of the universe. Wu’s father, Wu Zhongyi, founded the first school for girls in Taicang, aiming to break the old idea that it was women’s virtue to have no talents, which had the greatest influence on Wu Chien-shiung’s life. Working in the scientific world dominated (支配) by men, she never gave up or lowered her standards even if unequally treated. After graduating from the former National Central University in Nanjing in 1934, Wu registered at the University of California, Berkeley at the age of 24 to continue her study in physics. During her 44-year career as a nuclear physicist, Wu’s pioneering achievements won her nicknames such as “Chinese Madame Curie”, “queen of nuclear research” and “first lady of physics”. She was the first woman to be president of American Physical Society, the first female winner of the Comstock Prize in physics given by the US National Academy of Sciences, the first person to receive the Wolf Prize in physics, the first honorary doctorate awarded by Princeton University to a woman, and the first female professor of physics in the history of Columbia University. To get accurate results from experiments, she worked very hard day and night at a laboratory and gained a reputation (名声) for accuracy. There was a saying among physicists: If the experiment was done by Wu, it must be correct. She was always very careful in experiments, spending a great deal of time calibrating (校准) instruments. She didn’t start collecting data until she fully understood the instruments. Her experiments overturned many previous experimental results and theories, said Samuel Chao Chung Ting, American physicist and Nobel Prize winner. On Feb 16, 1997, Wu died in the US. According to her will, she was buried in her hometown Taicang. She was a distinguished world citizen, and was forever a Chinese. 1.What influenced Wu Chien-shiung when she was young? A.

The Australian team had won the race multiple times before. Determined to take back the trophy(奖杯), the US team gathered plentiful capital and top sailors. They even designed a high-speed sailboat, making their goal of winning clear. When the race started, the US team took the lead right away. By the time they were just four nautical miles (海里) from the finish line, they were already three nautical miles ahead of the Australian team. It seemed victory was within their grasp. However, the wind direction at sea suddenly changed at this critical moment. The US team was now faced with a tough choice: should they adjust (调整) the sail angle? You see, there are two types of wind at sea — gusts and cyclones. If it was a gust, adjusting the sail would be the right move. But if it was a cyclone, any adjustment would be useless, as cyclones change direction constantly. Relying on his years of experience, the US team’s old captain decided it was a gust and ordered the crew to adjust the sail. Sadly, his judgment was wrong. It turned out to be a gust-like cyclone. The US sailboat spun (转动) around in place, wasting valuable time. Meanwhile, the Australian team chose not to adjust their sail and quickly caught up. In the end, the Australian team overtook the US team when they were just one nautical mile from the finish line and won the championship. After the race, most media blamed the old captain for the US loss. But a game theory expert had a different view. He said that in an uncertain situation, the US team shouldn’t have tried to judge the wind direction accurately. Instead, they should have watched the Australian team’s actions. If the Australians didn’t adjust their sail, the US team shouldn’t have either. That way, they could have kept their lead. 1.Why might the US team take the lead at the start? A. They had good funds, sailors and a good boat. B. They practiced sailing every single day. C. Australian team made a slow start. D. The wind helped the US team a lot. 2.What can we know about the Australian team? A. They wanted the US to win. B. They did not trust their captain. C. They made no sail adjustment. D. They knew the wind would change again. 3.What advice did the expert give? A. Better later than never. B. Copy the competitor’s move. C. It is never too old to learn and create. D. Trust the captain. 4.What would be the most suitable title for the text? A. The Unpredictable Sea Winds B. A Race Lost at the Last Mile C. America’s Cup Sailing Race D. The Role of Experience in Sailing 主题语境03 人与社会-科学与技术 （25-26高二上·河南豫北民办高中·期中）When Param Jaggi was five years old, he had a passion to take things apart to see what was inside.

I knew I had to say yes. The trip seemed simple enough. 10 women aged 30 to 45, all complete strangers, were to meet on the coast of Portugal to try something new: surfing in the Atlantic Ocean. I have always loved traveling, so I eagerly sent an email to my boss asking for time off to make the trip. If there’s one thing I’ve learned over my past 33 years, it’s that adults typically spend their days mastering the things they’ve done before. It seems like we pride ourselves on becoming experts in whatever field we’ve fallen into, knowing more about less. Now, in theory, this is a great strategy, as it allows you to become really good at one particular thing, but it also kind of ends up leaving some skills lacking. I met my new surfing companions on the grass of the hotel lawn in a small surf town called Ericeira. Despite our different personalities and backgrounds, we were all united in a strong desire to challenge ourselves, learn, tackle and grow. The shores at Ericeira, where the beginners learn to surf, are shallow and covered with slippery rocks. They make for softer waves but are difficult to ride. Guided by our amazing coaches, together, we faced the waves. Sometimes, it poured with rain, and the waves crashed around us, but we were still out there. And with every slip and fall, words of encouragement filled the air. Honestly, I probably spent most of my days frozen to the bone, but that didn’t matter because a new level of genuine joy and personal achievement had been unlocked. Learning a new skill taught me the humility (谦虚) that can come from doing badly at something new, and the pride that develops when you finally manage to grasp something you’ve been working on. While surfing might not be my lifelong passion, trying it out inspired me to take more risks in life. You never know what you’re capable of if you don’t go out there and try. 1.What inspired the author to join the surf trip? A. Her love for seashore surfing. B. Her desire to make new friends. C. Her need to take a break from work. D. Her passion for exploring something new. 2.What does the author think of adults’ focusing on mastering one field? A. It hurts one’s pride. B. It narrows one’s potential. C. It promotes one’s career success. D. It broadens one’s view of the world. 3.Which words can best describe the author’s surfing experience? A. Relaxing but dangerous. B.

Media offered an escape when life was hard. Watching Glee, she was thrilled to see a character who used a wheelchair like her — until she learned the role was played by an actor who was not disabled. “I remember feeling so heartbroken and betrayed (背叛), for no reason other than the fact that I felt seen for once as a 10- year- old watching Glee, and the power of that,” says Colt- Lacayo. Now, Colt- Lacayo is graduating from Stanford with a degree in film and media studies and is heading to Hollywood with a passion for increasing disability representation and diversity in general. “Representation matters, and I also think that diverse storytelling is what is most compelling (令人信服的),” she said. Representation shaped Colt- Lacayo’s path to Stanford. As a disabled Latina girl, she struggled to imagine going to college, in part because she never saw adult wheelchair users in the media. In high school, she met- another Stanford student who was also a wheelchair user at a conference. Suddenly, a new story felt possible. When she arrived at Stanford, Colt- Lacayo knew she was often the first visibly disabled student her professors and peers had interacted with. Her parents had taught her to advocate for herself, and while she doesn’t claim the label “activist”, she asks for what she needs. “Yes, there’s something that is in my DNA that makes my body different from other people’s. But really, what makes me disabled is that people treat me differently, and I do not have equal access to resources,” she said. She brought this perspective to her Stanford experience. For her senior thesis (论文), she wrote a screenplay examining how growing up with a disability impacts one’s relationship with oneself and one’s understanding of the world. Colt- Lacayo aims to become an agent for screenwriters and film direętors. She hopes that sharing her story gives others the example she wished for when she was young. 1.How did Colt- Lacayo initially feel while watching Glee? A. Overjoyed and inspired. B. Honored and confident. C. Heartbroken and betrayed. D. Sorrowful and sympathetic. 2.What helped Colt- Lacayo picture herself going to college? A. Her keen interest in films and media. B. Diverse stories she heard about disability. C. An example of a disabled Stanford student. D. A passion for increasing disability representation. 3.What insight did Colt- Lacayo gain about living with a disability? A. It naturally leads one to grow into a social activist. B. It mainly involves overcoming physical limitations. C. It offers special advantages for accessing resources. D. It influences one’s outlook on the world and oneself. 4.What is the best title of the text? A. Telling Stories That Matter B. Speaking up for Equality C. Struggling to Enter Stanford D. Conquering Physical Challenges 主题语境02 人与自我-生活与学习 Passage 1 （25-26高二上·河南郑州宇华实验学校-11月·期中）A maverick describes a person who thinks independently. A maverick refuses to follow the customs or rules of a group to which he or she belongs. In the US, a maverick is often admired for his or her free spirit, although others who belong to the maverick’s group may not like the maverick’s independent ways. But where did the word “maverick” come from? Early in the 1800s, a man named Samuel Augustus Maverick settled down in Texas, which was a place of wide-open land, rich soil, cattle ranches(牛场) and cowboys. As the years passed, Mr. Maverick increased his property(财产) in Texas. Before long, he owned huge pieces of land that were good for raising cattle. But he had no cattle. He wasn’t a rancher. One day, a man came to Samuel Maverick to pay him an old debt. But the man didn’t have enough money. So he offered Mr. Maverick 400 head of cattle. Mr. Maverick accepted them, but he didn’t really want them. He simply put the cattle on his land to eat and care for themselves. It was not long before the cows reproduced(繁殖). The calves grew and had more calves. Soon, hundreds of cows and calves moved freely across Samuel Maverick’s land. They also moved across the land of nearby ranch owners. It was a tradition among ranchers in the West to put a mark of ownership on newborn calves. They burned the name of their ranch into the animal’s skin with a hot iron. The iron made a clear mark called a “brand”. Brands allowed ranchers to easily see who owned which cattle. Samuel Maverick refused to brand his calves. “Why should I?” he asked. If all the other cattle owners branded theirs, then those without a brand belonged to him. And this is how the word “maverick” entered the American language. It meant a calf without a brand. As time passed, the word “maverick” took on a wider meaning. It came to mean a person who was too independent to follow even his or her own group. 1.Why did the man give Samuel Maverick 400 head of cattle? A. To get some money. B. To return what he owed him. C. To buy some of his land. D. To ask him to raise them. 2.How could the ranchers easily know who the cattle belonged to? A. Through the brand on the cattle. B. Through the name of the cattle. C. Through the appearance of the cattle. D. Through the land on which the cattle stayed. 3.What can we learn about Samuel Augustus Maverick from the text? A. He was born in Texas. B. He took good care of all his cattle. C. He didn’t really want to accept the cattle. D. He followed the tradition of ranchers in the West. 4.What is the text mainly about? A. How to become an independent thinker. B. “Maverick” means a calf without a brand. C. The life story of Samuel Augustus Maverick. D. How the word “maverick” got into American English. Passage 2 （25-26高二上·河南郑州外国语学校·期中）As I signed the pre-medical application form, my fingers shook uncontrollably. The watercolor brushes on my desk seemed to gaze back at me, like old friends who had been left behind. I’m Lora, an 18-year-old who secretly drew brain diagrams on napkins while classmates drew cartoons. “Art feeds the soul but starves the body,” Mom always said. Her words haunted me as my biology textbooks slowly buried my drawing pads. Then came the school career fair that changed everything. Dr. Eleanor Whitman from Harvard asked us to list our “hidden skills”. My hand shook as I wrote “observing details”, something I’d learned from painting flower petals. “That’s medical research’s most needed skill!” she exclaimed, sharing how a student turned microbiology notes into textbook illustrations. My lab partner whispered, “Remember our photosynthesis (光合作用) comic?” For the first time, my two worlds didn’t feel so separate. The real surprise came during hospital volunteering. Watching surgeries, I noticed something — the steady hands of doctors reminded me of my brushwork. When a boy struggled to describe his pain, I drew a fire-breathing dragon on his cast. “You made medicine speak,” the nurse said. Slowly, my drawing pads filled with cells that looked like colored-glass art and X-rays arranged like abstract paintings. Mr. Dawson, our career counselor, helped connect these dots. On his whiteboard, my medical knowledge and art skills overlapped in a bright yellow circle labeled “Medical Illustration”. He showed me job listings I never knew existed — graphic designers for science apps, 3D modelers for anatomy (解剖) classes. “Your impractical skill makes you stand out,” he said, pointing to my dragon drawing now used in pain management workshops. Today, my microscope and paintbrushes share the same desk. The same hands that once hesitated between them now create 3D models of viruses for vaccine education. Sometimes I teach young patients to draw their feelings instead of describing them. My story isn’t about heart and reality cancelling each other out — they just multiply possibilities. 1.What can be inferred about Lora from Paragraph 1? A. She had given up the hobby of drawing. B. She was excited about studying medicine. C. She felt torn between art and medical study. D. She regretted not practicing painting earlier. 2.Dr. Eleanor thought of Lora’s “hidden skill” as ________. A. a burden B. a plus C. a distraction D. a recreation 3.How did Lora’s hospital experience influence her? A. It helped develop her surgical skills. B. It directed her toward doctor training. C. It boosted her enthusiasm for abstract art. D. It convinced her of art’s role in health care. 4.What message does the author want to convey? A. Every cloud has a silver lining. B. Two strings to your bow light the way. C. Follow the beaten track to success. D. Don’t put all your eggs in one basket. / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 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高二上·河南平顶山青桐鸣联考·期中）At the airport, a security (安全) problem left my wife Cherié and me in a huge line, waiting to fly home to Cincinnati. Just as we accepted the wait, I worried a lot: I’d left our new camera, which cost $1, 500, in the rental car. I rushed to call the taxi company, and to my relief, they said the driver was coming to return the camera. When meeting me, he even turned down the reward I offered. When I got the camera and returned to the line to wait, the crowd had grown even bigger. I was sure I’d miss our flight. Then a security officer walked over, smiling. “People like you have a special entrance — no need to wait in line,” he said, gesturing for me to follow. He explained this special channel (通道) was set up to keep crowds orderly, and then he talked excitedly about my “movies” — Solo: A Star Wars Story, Champions and Now You See Me. That’s when I realized: he thought I was Woody Harrelson, an actor I’m always mistaken for. When he asked about the Champions cast, I laughed and said I hadn’t seen them in forever. As we reached a private security room, fear hit — I didn’t want trouble from the mix-up. I tried to show my ID, but he waved it off. “People like you use false names, right?” he said. I quickly said the first name that came to mind: “Karl Haffner”. Later I realized Karl and Woody share strange similarities — the same hometown, height, even eating only plants. Before I knew it, I was through security and waiting at the gate with the camera. Cherié looked at me with wide eyes, saying, “How did you cut the line?” I smiled broadly, holding up the camera. “Call me Woody—I got through the airport’s special channel for public figures,” I said. She rolled her eyes but laughed when I told her the story. To this day, I still feel special, for the happy mistake that reminded me: life’s best moments aren’t planned. A little mix-up and lots of laughter are all you need to make a trip unforgettable. 1.Why did the author phone the taxi company? A. To get the lost camera. B. To book another taxi ride. C.

As a student from Fairfax’s Woodson High School, Bekele divides his time between the classroom and the lab at Johns Hopkins University, where he’s inventing a soap that could one day treat the deadly disease. “I was raised under the thought that I could always ask questions, and be as curious as possible,” Bekele said. “ And this pushed me to the field of science.” Some of Bekele’s earliest memories were seeing farmers work under the terrible heat with no heat protection from the sun’s UV rays in Ethiopia, where he was born. This was one factor that made him tackle skin cancer after he moved to the US. At home, Bekele — who’d entertain himself for hours as a child by mixing together any household products he could get his hands on and seeing what would happen — began wondering how he could help. “ What’s one thing that is an internationally impactful idea, something everyone can use, regardless of socioeconomic class?” Bekele asked himself. “Almost everyone uses soap and water for cleaning. So soap would probably be the best option.” So Bekele began his deliberate trial- and- error process, which led him to learn about a cream- based skin cancer treatment called Imiquimod that did produce desired results — but can cost as much as $180 for the uninsured in America. Inspired by the cream, Bekele designed his affordable soap. Bekele knew he’d need an actual lab to refine his creation. Bekele applied to — and won— the Minnesota- based tech company 3M’s Young Scientist Challenge in 2023, securing$25,000 and the title of “America’s Top Young Scientist”. Now, with the help of Johns Hopkins’ professor and biologist Vito Rebecca, Bekele has been testing the soap on mice at the university’s lab for almost half a year. The soap still has a long way to go: Testing, patenting it and getting FDA certification could take a decade. But even then, Bekele will only be 25 years old. 1.What initially inspired Bekele to come up with his idea to cure skin cancer? A. The farmers’ exposure to the hot sun. B. His journey from the classroom to the lab. C. The deadly disease he once suffered from. D. His being named Time’s Kid of the Year. 2.What do we know about Imiquimod? A. It was invented by Bekele. B. Bekele proved its side effects. C. It is effective but expensive. D. Bekele produced it for his soap. 3.Why did Bekele participate in the Young Scientist Challenge? A. To meet Professor Vito Rebecca. B. To get support to better his soap. C. To gain the soap patent from 3M. D. To promote ready- made products. 4.What can we learn from Bekele’s story? A. Thinking and action mean potential success. B. Success will get personal desires satisfied. C. Being famous is a great thirst of the young. D. Geniuses tend to get things done creatively. 【答案】1. A　2. C　3. B　4. A 【解析】【导语】 本文为一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了Heman Bekele发明了一种可能有助于对抗皮肤癌的肥皂。 (1)题解析： 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Some of Bekele’s earliest memories were seeing farmers work under the terrible heat with no heat protection from the sun’s UV rays in Ethiopia, where he was born. This was one factor that made him tackle skin cancer after he moved to the US.( Bekele最早的记忆是在他出生的Ethiopia，看到农民在可怕的高温下工作，没有隔热措施来抵御太阳的紫外线。这是他移居美国后应对皮肤癌的一个因素。)”可知，是看农民在太阳下暴晒工作从而导致他想要来找出办法治疗皮肤癌。故选A。 (2)题解析： 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“So Bekele began his deliberate trial- and- error process, which led him to learn about a cream- based skin cancer treatment called Imiquimod that did produce desired results — but can cost as much as $180 for the uninsured in America.(因此Bekele就开始了深思熟虑的试验-错误-再试验的过程，这也就让他了解了一种名为Imiquimod的以奶油为基础的皮肤癌的治疗方法，它的确产生了预期的效果，但它的成本却高达180美元。)”可知，Imiquimod是有效果的，但价格很贵。故选C。 (3)题解析： 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“Bekele knew he’d need an actual lab to refine his creation. Bekele applied to — and won— the Minnesota- based tech company 3M’s Young Scientist Challenge in 2023(Bekele知道他需要一个真正的实验室来完善他的创造，Bekele在2023年申请并赢得了Minnesota科技公司3M青年科学家挑战赛。)”可推知，Bekele参加去青年科学挑战赛是为了可以有实验室来完善他的肥皂发明，故是为了得到支持从而进一步完善肥皂。故选B。 (4)题解析： 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Time magazine has chosen its 2024 Kid of the Year — and it’s Heman Bekele, a teenager who could change the way skin cancer is treated.(《时代》杂志评选出了“2024年最佳儿童”——一位青少年，他可能会改变癌症的治疗方法。)”以及后文对Heman Bekele发明了一种可能有助于对抗皮肤癌的肥皂的介绍可知，文章主要通过对青少年Heman Bekele发明抗癌肥皂的故事的描写，从而表达出只要敢想敢行动，不论什么年龄，都能成功。故选A。 主题语境03 人与自我-生活与学习 （25-26高二上·河南阳市华龙区濮阳市第一高级中学·期中）Kenny Lake School in Copper Center, Alaska, is small. Jennifer Hodges is a third, fourth and fifth grade teacher. She says her three-grade class sits only at desks for 20 minutes a day. They do a lot of practical learning, such as raising Cho salmon (鲑鱼) from egg to Alevin to fry and then releasing them into a lake. During the months when the salmon are in the classroom, students like to sit by the tank to observe. “When the eggs hatch, they have sacs that carry their food,” says Addy, a student. “That way they can hide still and don’t have to look for food. It’s funny because when they try to swim they just end up in circles.” Students like to calculate when the salmon will turn from eggs to Alevin to fry based on the temperature of the tank. To them, it’s not practicing math problems: it’s predicting the future. “We always take a guess at when they will hatch from their eggs first,” says Liam, a student. “It takes math because you have to keep track of their temperature and calculate. I’m good at math so I usually get it right.” Since Hodges and her students live in such a rural area, there aren’t many field trips. But each year in May, she takes her students on the Salmon Field Trip, where they get to release the salmon they’ve raised in class. They will name the fish, then release them into the wild and never see them again. But it’s not sad: it’s the highlight of the year. “The best part is getting to release them after watching them hatch from eggs, grow into fry and take care of them,” says Fisher, a student. “You get to say goodbye.” “I went to release them last year and the lake still was covered part way with ice,” says Styrling, a student. “I fell in. It was cold, but it was still funny.” 1.What can be inferred about Alevin according to the text? A. It is a kind of small fish. B. It is a new type of cooker. C. It only can be found in rural areas. D. It’s the most popular class for students. 2.What does the underlined word “sacs” mean in paragraph 2? A. Circles. B. Grasses. C. Partners. D. Bags. 3.What are the most impressive for the students? A. offering the fish names. B. Freeing the salmon into a lake. C. Sitting at desks for 20 minutes. D. Calculating when eggs are hatched. 4.What can be the suitable title for the text? A. Students Had a Field Trip B. A Busy and Successful Teacher C. There Are More Ways to Learn D. The Salmon in the Classroom 【答案】1. A　2. D　3. B　4.

It’s funny because when they try to swim they just end up in circles.”(“当卵孵化时，幼体身上会有装着食物的……，”学生艾迪说，“这样它们就能静静藏着，不用去寻找食物。有意思的是，它们试着游泳的时候，结果总是原地打转。”)”可知，卵孵化时，它们有可携带食物的东西，这样它们就可以躲起来，不用去找食物，结合选项，划线单词“sacs”指的是能携带食物的囊袋。故选D项。 (3)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第六段中的“But it’s not sad: it’s the highlight of the year.(但这并不令人难过：这是一年中最精彩的部分。)”及第七段中的“The best part is getting to release them after watching them hatch from eggs, grow into fry and take care of them,(最棒的部分是在看着它们从卵中孵化、长成鱼苗并照顾它们之后，将它们放生，)”可知，对学生来说最令人印象深刻的是将鲑鱼放入湖中。故选B项。 (4)题解析： 主旨大意题。通读全文，肯尼湖学校的学生通过养殖鲑鱼进行实践学习，将数学等知识融入其中，这表明学习的方式不止一种。因此，“学习的方式还有很多”可以概括文章主题，适合作为本文标题。故选C项。 主题语境01 人与社会-历史、社会与文化 Passage 1 （25-26高二上·河南平顶山青桐鸣联考·期中）“The first moment that I started to plant a seed (种子) here in Oregon, it was something exciting because in my country, I did it with my parents when I was little. It is a culture that one already carries in the heart, in the blood — one where you get used to growing your own food, ” said Maxi Hernández. That tradition became the base of her farm, Mr. Farm, where she grows fresh food to feed her community and families. She used her small garden to not only feed her families but also share vegetables with neighbors door-to-door, a practice that motivated her to do more. Maxi soon noticed a bigger need: her community, especially Latinos, lacked access to fresh produce. Many received canned (罐装的) food, which deviated from Latino culture’s love for fresh produce — so many canned items went unused, resulting in waste. This, paired with the fact that nearly 14 million US Latinos face food problems, pushed her to act. She connected with Oregon Food Bank through Guerreras Latinas, became an official, and now uses their resources to help families — especially those on low incomes — get healthy food. As a mother, farming led her to take pride in serving her children fresh, healthy vegetables. It also led her to leave a restaurant job for the passion of growing food for others — she now calls herself “a farmer”. Now in her third year of farming, she aims to expand beyond a family business: she wants to hire others and grow more vegetables, believing “everyone is part of the community because we all have to eat. ” Maxi’s idea matches Feeding America’s goal to end hunger. “No human being should go hungry, and we all have the right to have food on our tables,” she says. This wish keeps her fighting, as she knows unity (团结) can make that goal a reality — one fresh vegetable at a time. 1.Why did Maxi Hernández feel excited at planting a seed in Oregon? A. It let her share food nearby. B. It reminded her of childhood. C. It led to her farm. D. It was her local food culture. 2.What do the underlined words “deviated from” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Agreed with. B. Depended on. C. Went against. D. Belonged to. 3.What can we learn about farming from paragraph 3? A. It is Maxi’s part-time job. B. It helps Maxi reconnect with her kids. C. It has made Maxi love her restaurant job. D. It has reshaped Maxi’s life in some degree. 4.What does the last paragraph mainly tell us about Maxi? A. She uses vegetables to fight hunger. B.

Many received canned (罐装的) food(Maxi很快注意到了更大的需求：她的社区，尤其是Latinos，缺乏新鲜农产品。很多都收到了罐装食品)”和后文内容“Latino culture’s love for fresh produce — so many canned items went unused, resulting in waste(Latino文化喜爱新鲜食材，因此很多罐装物品就没有用了，造成了浪费)”可知，划线短语前文提到“社区缺乏新鲜农产品，很多人只能得到罐头食品”，后文指出“Latino文化喜爱新鲜食材”，且罐头食品“导致浪费”。由此可推断，罐头食品与Latino文化的偏好相反，故此处划线短语与C项“Went against(违背)”意思相近。故选C。 (3)题解析： 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“As a mother, farming led her to take pride in serving her children fresh, healthy vegetables.(身为母亲，农业让她能为孩子们奉上新鲜健康的蔬菜，这令她倍感自豪。)”和“Now in her third year of farming, she aims to expand beyond a family business: she wants to hire others and grow more vegetables, believing “everyone is part of the community because we all have to eat. ”(如今是她务农的第三年，她的目标已超越家庭式经营：她计划雇佣人手、扩大种植规模，并坚信“民以食为天，每个人都应是社区的一份子”。)”可知，农业让她能为孩子们奉上新鲜健康的蔬菜，并且她还计划雇佣人手、扩大种植规模，因此农业在一定程度上重塑了Maxi的生活。故选D。 (4)题解析： 主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段“Maxi’s idea matches Feeding America’s goal to end hunger. “No human being should go hungry, and we all have the right to have food on our tables,” she says.(Maxi的愿景与美国消除饥饿的目标一致。她说道：“人类不应该挨饿，我们每个人都有权利拥有餐桌上的食物。”)”可知，Maxi的愿景与美国“消除饥饿”的使命一致，即她将自己的目标与消除饥饿结合起来。故选B。 Passage 2 （25-26高二上·河南驻马店九师联盟联考·期中）At 58, Tom Cillo is living his dream of playing college football. The shouts of “Yeah, Tom!” began as he stepped onto the field at Girardi Stadium. After taking a few steps to shake off his nerves and playfully cupping his ear toward the crowd, the country’s oldest freshman player took his position on the defensive line. Across from him was Anthony D’Antonio, a freshman center decades younger. They exchanged a respectful handshake before the play began. Moments later, the whistle blew, and Cillo officially became an NCAA Division Ⅲ player, free from the burden of “What if I had tried?” Cillo’s journey began during a conversation with his longtime friend Dave Bellomo. Having recently left his job with the Williamsport Recreation Department, Cillo shared his regrets about never attending college or playing football. Bellomo encouraged him, asking, “Why don’t you?” With his children grown and his wife supportive, Cillo decided it was time to act. “I wanted regret out of the picture altogether,” he said. Bellomo designed a rigorous training plan for Cillo. It included full-speed hill runs where Cillo carried a 100-pound rock, along with stretching and recovery treatments. Meanwhile, Cillo applied to Lycoming College, where he intended to major in criminal justice and pay his own tuition. “I’m taking a risk academically, physically, and financially,” he admitted, “but I’m smiling through the stress.” Cillo’s strength impressed his teammates, but learning the game was challenging. “Some days I’d wake up and say, ‘You’ve got to get around,’ and my body would say, ‘Slow down, brother,’” he recalled. Despite the difficulties, he pushed on through the training camp and earned his spot on the team. Though playing time is limited, Cillo’s impact extends beyond the field. He offers rides, buys meals, and provides advice, endearing himself to his teammates. “Everyone just loves him,” said Mason Woodward, a fellow defensive lineman. Cillo hopes his story inspires others. “I know there are people out there holding themselves back,” he said. “If you have a dream, follow through with it.” For Cillo, it’s never too late to pursue a passion. 1.What motivated Tom Cillo to follow his dream of playing college football? A. His wish to impress his wife. B. His friend’s encouragement. C. His desire to become famous. D. His hope to make more money. 2.What does the underlined word “rigorous” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Relaxing. B. Simple. C. Interesting. D. Strict. 3.Which words can best describe Tom Cillo? A. Regretful and nervous. B. Wealthy and generous. C. Brave and determined. D. Impatient and careless. 4.What message can we get from Tom Cillo’s story? A. Age is not a roadblock on the path to dreams.

Having recently left his job with the Williamsport Recreation Department, Cillo shared his regrets about never attending college or playing football. Bellomo encouraged him, asking, “Why don’t you?” With his children grown and his wife supportive, Cillo decided it was time to act.(西洛的追梦之旅始于与老友戴夫・贝洛莫的一次谈话。当时他刚辞去威廉斯波特娱乐部门的工作，向贝洛莫倾诉了自己从未上过大学、也未曾打过橄榄球的遗憾。贝洛莫鼓励他道：“为什么不试试呢？” 如今孩子们已然长大，妻子也全力支持，西洛决定是时候付诸行动了。)”可知，朋友的鼓励是促使西洛追寻大学橄榄球梦想的关键动力。故选B项。 (2)题解析： 词句猜测题。根据第三段中的“It included full-speed hill runs where Cillo carried a 100-pound rock, along with stretching and recovery treatments.(训练计划包括西洛背负100磅重的岩石进行全速爬坡跑，以及拉伸和恢复训练。)”可知，该训练计划包含高强度、高难度的内容，因此“rigorous”应指“严格的、严苛的”。故选D项。 (3)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第三段“I’m taking a risk academically, physically, and financially,” he admitted, “but I’m smiling through the stress.(我在学业、身体和经济上都在冒险，” 他坦言，“但即便身处压力之中，我依然面带笑容”可知，他明知重返校园要承担学术（适应大学课程）、身体（高强度训练）、经济（自费学费）三重风险，却依然选择践行梦想，体现了直面挑战的勇气。再根据第四段““Some days I’d wake up and say, ‘You’ve got to get around,’ and my body would say, ‘Slow down, brother,’” he recalled. Despite the difficulties, he pushed on through the training camp and earned his spot on the team.(有些日子我醒来会对自己说‘得坚持下去啊’，可身体却在抗议“兄弟，慢点儿来”，”他回忆道。尽管困难重重，他还是咬牙撑过了训练营，最终在球队中赢得了一席之地)”可知，面对身体的疲惫和学习赛事规则的挑战，他始终没有放弃，最终成功入选球队，充分体现了坚定的意志。故选C项。 (4)题解析： 推理判断题。通读全文，西洛58岁打破年龄限制，实现年轻时未完成的大学橄榄球梦想，最后一段也明确提到“For Cillo, it’s never too late to pursue a passion.(对西洛来说，追逐热爱永远不嫌晚。)”，因此从Tom Cillo的故事中我们学到年龄并非追逐梦想的障碍。故选A项。 Passage 3 （25-26高二上·河南郑州十校联考·期中）Compared with physicists such as Marie Curie or Richard Feynman, Wu Chien-shiung is not a household name in China but she was one of the most influential nuclear physicists of the 20th century, one that “completely” changed human’s view of the universe. Wu’s father, Wu Zhongyi, founded the first school for girls in Taicang, aiming to break the old idea that it was women’s virtue to have no talents, which had the greatest influence on Wu Chien-shiung’s life. Working in the scientific world dominated (支配) by men, she never gave up or lowered her standards even if unequally treated. After graduating from the former National Central University in Nanjing in 1934, Wu registered at the University of California, Berkeley at the age of 24 to continue her study in physics. During her 44-year career as a nuclear physicist, Wu’s pioneering achievements won her nicknames such as “Chinese Madame Curie”, “queen of nuclear research” and “first lady of physics”.

The Australian team had won the race multiple times before. Determined to take back the trophy(奖杯), the US team gathered plentiful capital and top sailors. They even designed a high-speed sailboat, making their goal of winning clear. When the race started, the US team took the lead right away. By the time they were just four nautical miles (海里) from the finish line, they were already three nautical miles ahead of the Australian team. It seemed victory was within their grasp. However, the wind direction at sea suddenly changed at this critical moment. The US team was now faced with a tough choice: should they adjust (调整) the sail angle? You see, there are two types of wind at sea — gusts and cyclones. If it was a gust, adjusting the sail would be the right move. But if it was a cyclone, any adjustment would be useless, as cyclones change direction constantly. Relying on his years of experience, the US team’s old captain decided it was a gust and ordered the crew to adjust the sail. Sadly, his judgment was wrong. It turned out to be a gust-like cyclone. The US sailboat spun (转动) around in place, wasting valuable time. Meanwhile, the Australian team chose not to adjust their sail and quickly caught up. In the end, the Australian team overtook the US team when they were just one nautical mile from the finish line and won the championship. After the race, most media blamed the old captain for the US loss. But a game theory expert had a different view. He said that in an uncertain situation, the US team shouldn’t have tried to judge the wind direction accurately. Instead, they should have watched the Australian team’s actions. If the Australians didn’t adjust their sail, the US team shouldn’t have either. That way, they could have kept their lead. 1.Why might the US team take the lead at the start? A. They had good funds, sailors and a good boat. B. They practiced sailing every single day. C. Australian team made a slow start. D. The wind helped the US team a lot. 2.What can we know about the Australian team? A. They wanted the US to win. B. They did not trust their captain. C. They made no sail adjustment. D. They knew the wind would change again. 3.What advice did the expert give? A. Better later than never. B. Copy the competitor’s move. C. It is never too old to learn and create. D. Trust the captain. 4.What would be the most suitable title for the text? A. The Unpredictable Sea Winds B. A Race Lost at the Last Mile C. America’s Cup Sailing Race D. The Role of Experience in Sailing 【答案】1. A　2. C　3. B　4.

I knew I had to say yes. The trip seemed simple enough. 10 women aged 30 to 45, all complete strangers, were to meet on the coast of Portugal to try something new: surfing in the Atlantic Ocean. I have always loved traveling, so I eagerly sent an email to my boss asking for time off to make the trip. If there’s one thing I’ve learned over my past 33 years, it’s that adults typically spend their days mastering the things they’ve done before. It seems like we pride ourselves on becoming experts in whatever field we’ve fallen into, knowing more about less. Now, in theory, this is a great strategy, as it allows you to become really good at one particular thing, but it also kind of ends up leaving some skills lacking. I met my new surfing companions on the grass of the hotel lawn in a small surf town called Ericeira. Despite our different personalities and backgrounds, we were all united in a strong desire to challenge ourselves, learn, tackle and grow. The shores at Ericeira, where the beginners learn to surf, are shallow and covered with slippery rocks. They make for softer waves but are difficult to ride. Guided by our amazing coaches, together, we faced the waves. Sometimes, it poured with rain, and the waves crashed around us, but we were still out there. And with every slip and fall, words of encouragement filled the air. Honestly, I probably spent most of my days frozen to the bone, but that didn’t matter because a new level of genuine joy and personal achievement had been unlocked. Learning a new skill taught me the humility (谦虚) that can come from doing badly at something new, and the pride that develops when you finally manage to grasp something you’ve been working on.

Media offered an escape when life was hard. Watching Glee, she was thrilled to see a character who used a wheelchair like her — until she learned the role was played by an actor who was not disabled. “I remember feeling so heartbroken and betrayed (背叛), for no reason other than the fact that I felt seen for once as a 10- year- old watching Glee, and the power of that,” says Colt- Lacayo. Now, Colt- Lacayo is graduating from Stanford with a degree in film and media studies and is heading to Hollywood with a passion for increasing disability representation and diversity in general. “Representation matters, and I also think that diverse storytelling is what is most compelling (令人信服的),” she said. Representation shaped Colt- Lacayo’s path to Stanford. As a disabled Latina girl, she struggled to imagine going to college, in part because she never saw adult wheelchair users in the media. In high school, she met- another Stanford student who was also a wheelchair user at a conference. Suddenly, a new story felt possible. When she arrived at Stanford, Colt- Lacayo knew she was often the first visibly disabled student her professors and peers had interacted with. Her parents had taught her to advocate for herself, and while she doesn’t claim the label “activist”, she asks for what she needs. “Yes, there’s something that is in my DNA that makes my body different from other people’s. But really, what makes me disabled is that people treat me differently, and I do not have equal access to resources,” she said. She brought this perspective to her Stanford experience. For her senior thesis (论文), she wrote a screenplay examining how growing up with a disability impacts one’s relationship with oneself and one’s understanding of the world. Colt- Lacayo aims to become an agent for screenwriters and film direętors. She hopes that sharing her story gives others the example she wished for when she was young. 1.How did Colt- Lacayo initially feel while watching Glee? A. Overjoyed and inspired. B. Honored and confident. C. Heartbroken and betrayed. D. Sorrowful and sympathetic. 2.What helped Colt- Lacayo picture herself going to college? A. Her keen interest in films and media. B. Diverse stories she heard about disability. C. An example of a disabled Stanford student. D. A passion for increasing disability representation. 3.What insight did Colt- Lacayo gain about living with a disability? A. It naturally leads one to grow into a social activist. B. It mainly involves overcoming physical limitations. C. It offers special advantages for accessing resources. D. It influences one’s outlook on the world and oneself. 4.What is the best title of the text? A. Telling Stories That Matter B. Speaking up for Equality C. Struggling to Enter Stanford D. Conquering Physical Challenges 【答案】1. A　2. C　3. D　4. A 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇记叙文。本文讲述了Sylvia Colt-Lacayo这位身患残疾的拉丁裔女孩，如何因为媒体中的代表性缺失而感到被忽视，并在高中时遇到了一位使用轮椅的斯坦福学生，这使她意识到自己也可以拥有不同的生活故事。 (1)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第二段中“Watching Glee, she was thrilled to see a character who used a wheelchair like her —— until she learned the role was played by an actor who was not disabled.( 她看了《欢乐合唱团》后非常激动，因为剧中有一个像她一样使用轮椅的角色，直到她发现这个角色是由一个没有残疾的演员扮演的。)”以及““I remember feeling so heartbroken and betrayed (背叛), for no reason other than the fact that I felt seen for once as a 10- year- old watching Glee, and the power of that,” says Colt- Lacayo. (Colt- Lacayo说：‘记得我感到心碎和被背叛，没有别的原因，只是因为我觉得自己像一个10岁的孩子一样看了《欢乐合唱团》，那是一种力量。’)”可知，当Colt-Lacayo看到电视剧《欢乐合唱团》中有一个使用轮椅的角色时，她感到非常高兴和受到启发。直到她了解到这个角色是由一位没有残疾的演员扮演的，她才感到心碎和背叛。因此，她最初看《欢乐合唱团》时的感受是高兴和受到启发。故选A。 (2)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第四段“In high school, she met- another Stanford student who was also a wheelchair user at a conference. Suddenly, a new story felt possible.( 高中时，她在一次会议上遇到了另一位斯坦福大学的学生，他也是轮椅使用者。突然间，一个新的故事似乎成为可能。)”可知，Colt-Lacayo在高中时遇到了一个同样是轮椅用户的斯坦福学生，这让她觉得上大学的可能性变得更加可能。因此，是这位残疾的斯坦福学生给她提供了上大学的可能性，帮助她想象自己也能上大学。故选C。 (3)题解析： 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“She brought this perspective to her Stanford experience. For her senior thesis (论文), she wrote a screenplay examining how growing up with a disability impacts one’s relationship with oneself and one’s understanding of the world.(她把这种观点带到了她在斯坦福的经历中。在她的毕业论文中，她写了一个剧本，研究残疾的成长如何影响一个人与自己的关系以及一个人对世界的理解。)”可知，Colt-Lacayo在她的毕业论文中写了一个剧本，探讨了成长过程中残疾如何影响一个人对自己和世界的认知。因此，她得出的见解是残疾会影响一个人对自己和世界的看法。故选D。 (4)题解析： 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是根据第三段“Now, Colt- Lacayo is graduating from Stanford with a degree in film and media studies and is heading to Hollywood with a passion for increasing disability representation and diversity in general. “Representation matters, and I also think that diverse storytelling is what is most compelling (令人信服的),” she said.(现在，Colt- Lacayo即将从斯坦福大学毕业，获得电影和媒体研究学位，并怀着增加残疾人代表性和多样性的热情前往好莱坞。她说：‘表现很重要，我也认为多样化的叙事方式是最令人信服的。’)”可知，本文讲述了这位身患残疾的女孩Sylvia Colt-Lacayo因为媒体中的代表性缺失而感到被忽视，在高中时遇到了一位使用轮椅的斯坦福学生让她意识到自己也可以拥有不同的生活故事，她并以自己的经历为基础，撰写了关于残疾对个人与世界观影响的毕业论文。Colt-Lacayo希望将来能成为编剧和导演的经纪人，并通过分享自己的故事，为其他年轻人提供她年轻时所渴望的榜样。她认为代表性和多样性的故事很重要，因此最适合作为文章标题的是A选项“Telling Stories That Matter(讲述重要的故事)”。故选A。 主题语境02 人与自我-生活与学习 Passage 1 （25-26高二上·河南郑州宇华实验学校-11月·期中）A maverick describes a person who thinks independently. A maverick refuses to follow the customs or rules of a group to which he or she belongs. In the US, a maverick is often admired for his or her free spirit, although others who belong to the maverick’s group may not like the maverick’s independent ways. But where did the word “maverick” come from? Early in the 1800s, a man named Samuel Augustus Maverick settled down in Texas, which was a place of wide-open land, rich soil, cattle ranches(牛场) and cowboys. As the years passed, Mr. Maverick increased his property(财产) in Texas. Before long, he owned huge pieces of land that were good for raising cattle. But he had no cattle. He wasn’t a rancher. One day, a man came to Samuel Maverick to pay him an old debt. But the man didn’t have enough money. So he offered Mr. Maverick 400 head of cattle. Mr. Maverick accepted them, but he didn’t really want them. He simply put the cattle on his land to eat and care for themselves. It was not long before the cows reproduced(繁殖). The calves grew and had more calves. Soon, hundreds of cows and calves moved freely across Samuel Maverick’s land. They also moved across the land of nearby ranch owners. It was a tradition among ranchers in the West to put a mark of ownership on newborn calves. They burned the name of their ranch into the animal’s skin with a hot iron. The iron made a clear mark called a “brand”. Brands allowed ranchers to easily see who owned which cattle. Samuel Maverick refused to brand his calves. “Why should I?” he asked. If all the other cattle owners branded theirs, then those without a brand belonged to him. And this is how the word “maverick” entered the American language. It meant a calf without a brand. As time passed, the word “maverick” took on a wider meaning. It came to mean a person who was too independent to follow even his or her own group. 1.Why did the man give Samuel Maverick 400 head of cattle? A. To get some money. B. To return what he owed him. C. To buy some of his land. D. To ask him to raise them. 2.How could the ranchers easily know who the cattle belonged to? A. Through the brand on the cattle. B. Through the name of the cattle. C. Through the appearance of the cattle. D. Through the land on which the cattle stayed. 3.What can we learn about Samuel Augustus Maverick from the text? A. He was born in Texas. B. He took good care of all his cattle. C. He didn’t really want to accept the cattle. D. He followed the tradition of ranchers in the West. 4.What is the text mainly about? A. How to become an independent thinker. B. “Maverick” means a calf without a brand. C. The life story of Samuel Augustus Maverick. D. How the word “maverick” got into American English. 【答案】1. B　2. A　3. C　4. D 【解析】 本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了“maverick”这个单词是如何进入美国英语词汇的，它的来源和其含义的演变情况。 (1)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第四段中第一句话“One day，a man came to Samuel Maverick to pay him an old debt. So he offered Mr. Maverick 400 head of cattle.”（ 一天，一个人来找塞缪尔·马弗里克，要他偿还一笔旧债）可知那个人给Samuel Maverick四百头牛是用于还债的。故选B。 (2)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第六段中的第二、三、四句话“They burned the name of their ranch into the animal's skin with a hot iron. The iron made a clear mark called a ‘brand’. Brands allowed ranchers to easily see who owned which cattle.”（他们用热熨斗把他们农场的名字烙在动物的皮肤上。熨斗上有一个清晰的标记，叫做“品牌”。品牌让牧场主很容易看到谁拥有哪头牛）可知，用烙铁给牛打上烙印是为了区分牛归属何人。故选A。 (3)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第四段中的第二、三、四句话“But the man didn't have enough money. So he offered Mr. Maverick 400 head of cattle. Mr. Maverick accepted them, but he didn't really want them.”（ 但是这个人没有足够的钱。所以他给了马弗里克400头牛。Maverick先生接受了他们，但他并不真正想要它们）可知，Mr. Maverick并不愿意接受这些牛。故选C。 (4)题解析： 主旨大意题。根据全文，如第二段“But where did the word “maverick” come from?（但是maverick来自哪里呢？）”和最后一段中的第三、四句话“As time passed, the word ‘maverick’ took on a wider meaning. It came to mean a person who was too independent to follow even his or her own group”（随着时间的推移，“特立独行”一词有了更广泛的含义。这意味着一个人太过独立，甚至连自己的团队都无法跟随）可知，本文主要叙述“maverick”如何进入美国英语的。故D。 【点睛】 细节理解题属直接解答性问题，是阅读理解题中最简单的一种，多数属中低难度的送分题。但由于考试所占的比例很大，应特别引起注意。本类试题主要考查我们对阅读材料中的某一特定细节或文章的主要事实的理解能力。问题包括询问人(who)、物(what)、时间(when)、地点(where)、原因(cause)、结果(effect)、文中的数据(data)等。注意以下两点：一、对应性 正确答案应与文中的细节一一对应，即，找到对应点。二、准确性 此类题更多地倾向于将题目中的信息与原文有关细节信息进行语义上的转换，在转换过程中，做题时易犯的错误是未注意到转换的准确性，常常将细节信息中的范围、程度、语义色彩等改变，从而导致错误。 Passage 2 （25-26高二上·河南郑州外国语学校·期中）As I signed the pre-medical application form, my fingers shook uncontrollably. The watercolor brushes on my desk seemed to gaze back at me, like old friends who had been left behind. I’m Lora, an 18-year-old who secretly drew brain diagrams on napkins while classmates drew cartoons. “Art feeds the soul but starves the body,” Mom always said. Her words haunted me as my biology textbooks slowly buried my drawing pads. Then came the school career fair that changed everything. Dr. Eleanor Whitman from Harvard asked us to list our “hidden skills”. My hand shook as I wrote “observing details”, something I’d learned from painting flower petals. “That’s medical research’s most needed skill!” she exclaimed, sharing how a student turned microbiology notes into textbook illustrations. My lab partner whispered, “Remember our photosynthesis (光合作用) comic?” For the first time, my two worlds didn’t feel so separate. The real surprise came during hospital volunteering. Watching surgeries, I noticed something — the steady hands of doctors reminded me of my brushwork. When a boy struggled to describe his pain, I drew a fire-breathing dragon on his cast. “You made medicine speak,” the nurse said. Slowly, my drawing pads filled with cells that looked like colored-glass art and X-rays arranged like abstract paintings. Mr. Dawson, our career counselor, helped connect these dots. On his whiteboard, my medical knowledge and art skills overlapped in a bright yellow circle labeled “Medical Illustration”. He showed me job listings I never knew existed — graphic designers for science apps, 3D modelers for anatomy (解剖) classes. “Your impractical skill makes you stand out,” he said, pointing to my dragon drawing now used in pain management workshops. Today, my microscope and paintbrushes share the same desk. The same hands that once hesitated between them now create 3D models of viruses for vaccine education. Sometimes I teach young patients to draw their feelings instead of describing them. My story isn’t about heart and reality cancelling each other out — they just multiply possibilities. 1.What can be inferred about Lora from Paragraph 1? A. She had given up the hobby of drawing. B. She was excited about studying medicine. C. She felt torn between art and medical study. D. She regretted not practicing painting earlier. 2.Dr. Eleanor thought of Lora’s “hidden skill” as ________. A. a burden B. a plus C. a distraction D. a recreation 3.How did Lora’s hospital experience influence her? A. It helped develop her surgical skills. B. It directed her toward doctor training. C. It boosted her enthusiasm for abstract art. D. It convinced her of art’s role in health care. 4.What message does the author want to convey? A. Every cloud has a silver lining. B. Two strings to your bow light the way. C. Follow the beaten track to success. D. Don’t put all your eggs in one basket. 【答案】1. C　2. B　3. D　4. B 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了主人公Lora在艺术和医学学习之间挣扎，最终发现两者可以结合，并创造出新的可能性，实现了艺术与医学的融合。 (1)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第一段中“As I signed the pre-medical application form, my fingers shook uncontrollably. The watercolor brushes on my desk seemed to gaze back at me, like old friends who had been left behind.(当我在医学预科申请表上签名时，我的手指不受控制地颤抖着。我桌上的水彩画笔似乎在凝视着我，就像被遗弃的老朋友一样)”以及““Art feeds the soul but starves the body,” Mom always said. Her words haunted me as my biology textbooks slowly buried my drawing pads.(“艺术滋养灵魂，却让身体挨饿，”妈妈总是这样说。当我的生物课本慢慢埋没我的绘图板时，她的话一直萦绕在我心头)”可知，Lora在填写医学预科申请表时手指不受控制地颤抖，觉得生物课本埋没了她的绘图板，但同时，妈妈的话“艺术滋养灵魂，却让身体挨饿”又很有道理。由此推知，她在艺术和医学学习之间感到纠结和挣扎。故选C项。 (2)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第二段中“Dr. Eleanor Whitman from Harvard asked us to list our “hidden skills”. My hand shook as I wrote “observing details”, something I’d learned from painting flower petals. “That’s medical research’s most needed skill!” she exclaimed, sharing how a student turned microbiology notes into textbook illustrations.(哈佛大学的Eleanor Whitman博士让我们列出自己的“隐藏技能”。当我写下“观察细节”时，我的手在颤抖，这是我从画花瓣中学到的。“这是医学研究最需要的技能!”她惊叹道，并分享了一个学生如何将微生物学笔记变成教科书插图的故事)”可知，Eleanor博士认为Lora的“隐藏技能”观察细节是医学研究最需要的技能，由此可推知，她认为这是一个加分项。故选B项。 (3)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第三段“The real surprise came during hospital volunteering. Watching surgeries, I noticed something — the steady hands of doctors reminded me of my brushwork. When a boy struggled to describe his pain, I drew a fire-breathing dragon on his cast. “You made medicine speak,” the nurse said. Slowly, my drawing pads filled with cells that looked like colored-glass art and X-rays arranged like abstract paintings.(真正的惊喜是在医院做志愿者时出现的。观看手术时，我注意到一件事——医生们稳定的手让我想起了我的画笔。当一个男孩难以描述他的疼痛时，我在他的石膏上画了一条喷火的龙。“你让医学有了发言权，”护士说。慢慢地，我的绘图板上充满了看起来像彩色玻璃艺术的细胞和排列成抽象画的X光片)”可知，在医院做志愿者时，Lora用绘画帮助男孩描述疼痛，护士称赞她让医学有了发言权，她的绘图板上也充满了与医学相关的艺术创作，由此可推知，这段经历让她确信艺术在医疗保健中可以发挥作用。故选D项。 (4)题解析： 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是最后一段中“My story isn’t about heart and reality cancelling each other out — they just multiply possibilities.(我的故事并不是关于心灵和现实相互抵消——它们只是增加了可能性)”可知，文章讲述了Lora在艺术和医学学习之间挣扎，最终发现两者可以结合，并创造出新的可能性，实现了艺术与医学的融合，由此可推知，作者想要传达的信息是“Two strings to your bow light the way.(双弦在握，前路昭然)”，即，同时掌握两种技能或优势可以带来更多的机会和可能性。故选B项。 / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
