主题语境01 人与社会-历史、社会与文化
(25-26高二上·安徽皖江名校联盟·期中)Recently I had a terrible experience at a Trader Joe’s grocery store. The cashier was remarkably rude to me in a place that is typically known for having great customer service. I came away from the experience first thinking “What did I do to deserve this treatment…”. Then after some thought I came to the realization that this person was more than likely having a bad day and I just happen to be the one they let it out on.
I decided to give the grocery chain another chance so I visited a different location on the other side of town. I was not familiar with the layout and asked an employee for help. They were so kind. I opened up about my past experience at the other location. She reassured me this was my new store and showed me where they kept the coffee. When I got to the register the folks helping me out were so kind, I mentioned the bad experience and how I’ve decided this was my new store. The gentleman helping me stepped away for a second and came back with a small handful of flowers and said “I know this isn’t much, but I wanted to give this to you.” It meant more than that man could ever know.
I am a special-need mom and take my son with autism(自闭症)with me everywhere I go, I also carry around my toddler and with the two sometimes we can be really loud. I get lots of looks, questioning my chaos. This gentleman set all those insecurities aside and showed me in a simple way he cared and I was valued. It made my day. I was able to pass the flowers off to my 4-year old and she fell asleep holding them on our way home. She was so happy about the flowers!
Whenever I see something unkind happen I am reminded that I can always turn the tables and bring kind-ness to someone in need no matter how small the gesture it can have a wonderful ripple (涟漪) effect.

A. He guided her through the layout.
B. He gave her a gift as a comfort.

(25-26高二上·安徽合肥一中·期中)I had been planning a hiking trip to the Canadian Rockies ever since I saw the beautiful scenery there in a magazine. My dream finally got realized last summer, when my wife and I went on a vacation to the national parks of the Alberta-British Columbia border (边界).
After our experiences of a wet vacation in the beginning of summer in New Zealand a couple of years ago, we decided to push this trip to the end of summer — just to change things a bit. Our choice paid off. After the wettest June and July in its history, the region met with one of the longest periods of good weather in early August when we happened to visit.
Banff National Park, which is the first national park in Canada, was our first destination. We spent an hour riding the boat in Banff before quickly heading off to the hikers’ dream place of Lake Louise, where we met our biggest disappointment of the trip. The park authorities determined that the area’s bears could pose a threat to smaller groups. To ensure visitors’ safety, all paths, including the Paradise Valley hike, were closed to groups of fewer than six people. Couples, such as us, were forced to hunt for couples with similar routes and physical abilities. We gave up halfway when realizing it was harder than expected.
In order to fill the sudden vacuum (空缺) in our schedule, we then decided to visit Glacier and Mt. Revelstoke, which are two less-visited parks of the area, not because they lack scenery, but because bigger parks to their west get most of the tourist traffic. Driving toward the parks, my wife looked through maps, her eyes shining with curiosity. With each turn of the road, we felt a thrill of excitement. The unknown lay ahead, and we accepted it wholeheartedly, eager to see what hidden surprises awaited us around the next corner.
1.How might the author feel about the timing of their travel?
A. Satisfied. B. Indifferent. C. Regretful D. Hesitant.
2.Why were paths to Lake Louise closed to small groups?
A. To protect wildlife habitats.
B. To avoid the risk of bear attacks.
C. To increase tourist numbers.
D. To aid systematic management.
3.What keeps Glacier and Mt. Revelstoke from being widely noticed?
A. Their more attractive neighboring parks.
B. Their inconvenient transportation.
C. Their remote geographical location.
D. Their unremarkable scenery.
4.What lesson can we draw from the author’s travel experience?
A. Dare to take adventures.
B. Stand up against unreasonable rules.
C. Be careful to explore unfamiliar places.
D. Be flexible and positive about the unexpected.

(25-26高二上·安徽合肥六中·期中)For a number of people, visiting the dentist for regular check-ups is totally common. However, for countless individuals across the globe — particularly those living in impoverished (贫困的) areas — getting dental care and having their teeth examined simply isn’t possible. Felipe Rossi, a dentist from Brazil, has devoted himself to helping turn this situation around.
Growing up in the USA, Felipe Rossi had just obtained the Bachelor of Medicine Degree and was about to start a master’s degree in Pediatric Dentistry (儿童口腔学) when a journey to his father’s home — Balsabo in Brazil — changed his initial plan. “All locals didn’t have access to dental care, and consequently, many of them had misshapen teeth or even lost some teeth, leading to many people not daring to laugh with mouth open.” Felipe Rossi recalled. “A desire was planted in my heart. That is, to use my skills to bring healthy smiles to people suffering from dental problems.”
With the support of his parents, Felipe formed an NGO (non-government organization) called Porsorriso to give free oral treatments to individuals with low incomes who require cleaning, fillings, crowns, restoration work and more. His team consists of approximately 30 registered volunteers who go with him to poor towns and villages in Brazil.
Sponsorship is generally provided by two private companies. Individuals may also make donations through the ‘Smile Solidarity’ program, where they can choose monthly amounts to contribute. Porsorriso also holds regular fundraisers to afford the cost of providing free dental services around the country.
As noble as its objective is, Felipe admits that Porsorriso is “struggling to survive” because of the huge cost of providing dental work and the constant fundraising events they have to hold to keep the NGO in normal functioning. “Challenging as it is, it did bring healthy teeth as well as renewed confidence to the locals. We will continue this transformative act whatever difficulties we will face”. Felipe said with a strong will.
1.How does the author introduce the topic of the text?
A. By posing a contrast.
B. By reporting an event.
C. By assuming a situation.
D. By making an appeal.
2.What inspired Felipe to offer dental treatments to Brazilians?
A. His parents’ encouragement.
B. His enthusiasm for dentistry.
C. His academic training in the USA.
D. His experience in Brazil.
3.What do we know about Porsorriso?
A. It gives free oral treatments to anyone in need.
B. It is cooperated by Felipe Rossi and the local authority.
C. It is financially supported by corporations and individuals.
D. It holds regular fundraising to educate people about dental care.
4.Which of the following can best describe Felipe Rossi?
A. ambitious and faithful.
B. creative and intelligent.
C. energetic and strong-willed.
D. determined and kind-hearted.

(25-26高二上·安徽芜湖一中·期中)In the middle of San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park, Amanda Barrows carefully placed a wooden nightstand (床头柜) on the ground. She attached a sign reading, “Take a poem, leave a poem.”
So far, more than 100 poems have come in. “It’s completely unexpected,” said Barrows. “I’m really impressed by the outpouring of support.”
A park ranger (护林人) by day and a poet by night, Barrows joined a Poetry for the People class at City College of San Francisco (CCSF). Students were asked to find a way to “bring poetry into the community” as their final project.
In the beginning, Barrows struggled to land on an idea. Eventually, though, it dawned on her that she could perhaps combine together her two worlds — parks and poetry. A colleague offered up a weathered nightstand, which Barrows thought would be the perfect tool for her project, as she could fill the drawer at the top with fresh paper and pens and add a box at the bottom for poems.
The concept reminded her of Little Free Libraries, which featured bookstands stationed across the city. “I was inspired by the little free libraries you see in San Francisco (SF), where you ‘take a book, leave a book’, and thought, ‘Maybe I could do this with poetry.’” said Barrows. Since she only had a single nightstand to work with, Barrows decided that she would leave it in a park for four days before moving it to a new location. San Francisco’s Recreation and Park Department manages about 220 parks, and Barrows’s goal is to bring the poetry nightstand to all of them.
Since the Poetry Nightstand project started, people have donated a wide range of writing. Barrows has shared most of the submissions on social media. “It really is a community project,” Barrows said. “It belongs to all of us.”
One of the teachers at the CCSF poetry course, Lauren Muller, told The Washington Post that “people need poetry now”, which she suggested as the reason for the success of Barrows’s project.
1.Why did Barrows start the Poetry Nightstand project?
A. To share her own poems.
B. To advertise a poetry class.
C. To encourage young poets.
D. To complete a required task.
2.How did Barrows’s project differ from Little Free Libraries?
A. It wasn’t well-received by the public.
B. It wasn’t fixed on a specific site.
C. It covered a larger area in the city.
D. It was only open to citizens of SF.
3.What did Muller think contributed to the success of Barrows’s project?
A. The benefits of writing poetry.
B. The public demand for poetry.
C. The help from her neighbors.
D. The large number of parks in SF.
4.Which of the following words best describe Barrows?
A. Courageous and calm.
B. Enthusiastic and kind.
C. Creative and ambitious.
D. Cooperative and generous.

Passage 1
(25-26高二上·安徽省大联考·期中)Faced with climate challenges threatening her crops, Lakkhampa, a Thai farmer, sought ways to make her farm stronger. She aimed to grow different kinds of crops, save water, and improve soil health. This led her to a training program started by PepsiCo and GIZ, a German organization for international teamwork, under the develoPPP project. The program was designed to help Thai potato farmers adapt to climate change through environmentally friendly farming practices.
Before she eagerly joined the training in 2022, Lakkhampa had been using traditional methods. The develoPPP program offered many learning chances, like training courses and visits to a model farm. She quickly began to learn and apply several innovative methods.
For her rice fields, she practiced switching between wetting and drying the soil. This means sometimes removing the water from the field and sometimes filling it again. This method uses 30% less water and produces fewer greenhouse gases. After gathering rice, she planted potatoes in the same field. This “integrated farming” approach, along with careful drop-by-drop watering for her corn and potatoes, allowed her to use fewer insect-killing chemicals and fertilizers while achieving better crops and a higher income. She effectively made her farming able to face future challenges.
Her success did not go unnoticed. Recognizing her potential, the program leaders encouraged her to become a trainer. Lakkhampa soon began speaking at women farmer training courses and guiding others. She became a trailblazer in her community and one of her rice fields became a model field, where neighbors could see her effective methods firsthand, building trust and inspiring knowledge sharing within the community.
The develoPPP program, having educated over 3,000 farmers in Thailand, shows the power of joint efforts. It enables farmers to work together, strengthening their practices and management to meet market demands. From 2022 to 2024, these farmers increased their income by over 50% and reduced greenhouse gas emissions per ton produced by 27%. Lakkhampa’s story proves that change often starts small — with one farmer, one field, one idea — creating lasting hope for the future.
1.Why did Lakkhampa join the develoPPP program?
A. To make more like-minded friends.
B. To meet the needs of the local market.
C. To learn ways to deal with climate change.
D. To teach other women farmers in her community.
2.What is a direct benefit of the “wetting and drying” method?
A. It frees crops from diseases.
B. It enriches the soil with natural fertilizers.
C. It lowers the environmental impact of farming.
D. It allows different crops to grow at the same time.
3.What does the underlined word “trailblazer” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Pioneer. B. Performer. C. Observer. D. Designer.
4.Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. A Farmer’s Path to a Lasting Future
B. Advanced Technology in Modern Agriculture
C. Climate Change: A Great Challenge to Thai Farmers
D. PepsiCo and GIZ: A Partnership for Global Business
Passage 2
(25-26高二上·安徽A10联盟·期中)Yared Nuguse never dreamed of being a professional runner, let alone an Olympic medalist. His career plans even involved becoming a dentist(牙医) when he was 14 years old.
But life has a funny way of taking unlikely turns, our hidden talents unearthed in places we never expect. For a teenage Nuguse, the idea that he would one day become a top middle-distance athlete— and among the best in the world— was laughable.
After showing early promise as a high school student in Louisville, Kentucky, Nuguse competed for the Notre Dame Fighting Irish, winning the NCAA title in the 1,500 meters in 2019. From there, a career in running called to him, along with the fitting label of “America’s accidental champion”.
“It’s been a crazy journey, one that I never really saw coming or expected,” says Nuguse. “But it’s one that I’m really glad I gave a chance because I would be in a completely different space right now if I hadn’t. Running has just been changing my life in many amazing ways, and I’ve been really, really happy for it, and happy that my track coach in high school was able to convince me.”
Even today, Nuguse struggles to get his head around the path his life has taken, still failing to see himself as a natural runner. He doesn’t consider himself a sporty person. But his achievements on the track are testament(证明)to his enormous talent and work ethic. In one of the most eagerly anticipated events of last year’s Paris Olympics, Nuguse took bronze(铜牌)in the 1,500 meters, bested by fellow American Cole Hocker and Britain’s Josh Kerr. It was a fast final dash for the ages.
1.Why did Nuguse consider his journey crazy?
A. It was full of unexpected changes.
B. It took him a long time to succeed.
C. He disliked running at the beginning.
D. He suffered a lot of serious injuries.
2.What is Nuguse’s attitude towards his running career?
A. Regretful. B. Indifferent. C. Grateful. D. Worried.
3.What does the underlined phrase “get his head around” in the last paragraph mean?
A. Balance. B. Forget. C. Understand. D. Record.
4.Where is this text most likely from?
A. A science textbook.
B. A sports magazine.
C. A book review.
D. A health guide.

Passage 1
(25-26高二上·安徽鼎尖名校大联考·期中)During my childhood in Ireland, few things brought me as much delight as a rainy day, for it promised the possibility of a magical pursuit — treasure hunting. In Irish stories, leprechauns — small magical creatures-hide their pots of gold where the rainbow ends. Legend has it that they have to unwillingly give you their gold if you can find the end of the rainbow.
Though I never did unearth any treasure, those rainy days were filled with wonder and imagination. As I grew older, however, my childhood dream faded. Yet for some, that dream never fades — and for a fortunate few, it even becomes a reality.
Such is the case of Mel Fisher, whose dream of finding treasure also began in childhood while reading classics like Treasure Island. Unlike me, he pursued this dream and ultimately became a renowned treasure hunter. After searching for over 16 years, he located the Atocha, a Spanish ship that sank off the coast of Florida in 1622. Inside were gold bars, silver coins, and precious jewels, valued at approximately $ 400 million.
However, gaining the treasure was not all plain sailing. After fighting against tough conditions at sea, the State of Florida took Fisher to court over ownership of the find. After more than 200 hearings, Fisher agreed to donate 20% of his findings to a museum in Florida, where you can see many objects from the Atocha.
This story, however, brings about many debates. Archaeologists argue that commercial treasure hunts lead to the loss of cultural heritage, describing such activities as undersea “plundering (劫掠). Nevertheless, advocates claim professional hunters like Fisher contribute to history by carefully documenting each discovery and making it accessible to the public through museum donations and information on websites.
Now, I learn that the rainbow’s end is beyond my reach, but to my relief, with just a click of the mouse, I too can appreciate the “riches” from the Atocha! Just as Nietzsche wisely said, “Our treasure lies in the beehive of our knowledge.”
1.Why was the author so fond of rainy day as a child?
A. It allowed time for reading Irish stories.
B. It created chances to seek hidden treasure.
C. She found pleasure in walking through the rain.
D. She desired to meet leprechauns hiding in the rain.
2.What inspired Mel Fisher to go treasure hunting?
A. A lifelong love for exploration.
B. Stories from his childhood reads.
C. The discovery of an ancient sunken ship.
D. A previous trip to Ireland for treasure.
3.What do the underlined words “all plain sailing” in paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. Entirely smooth.
B. Highly profitable.
C. Particularly difficult.
D. Completely predictable.
4.What is mainly conveyed in the last paragraph?
A. The Atocha’s treasures are within everyone’s reach.
B. Childhood dreams should give way to practical gains.
C. Technology makes treasure hunting accessible to everyone.
D. True treasure lies in the wealth of knowledge one can obtain.
Passage 2
(25-26高二上·安徽安庆一中·期中)It’s still dark as my husband, brother-in-law, nephew and I walk toward where our boat is waiting. We’re on a family holiday on the west coast of Canada, and the four of us have booked a fishing trip with a local guide. This is my first open-water fishing trip, and I get butterflies in my stomach. We board the boat, and I watch the sky lighten, reflecting on the decision that brought me to this moment.
For most of my adult life, I’d chosen to stay safely in a series of “sheltered harbors”. It took my mother’s death from breast disease at age sixty-five to wake me. My mother lived with courage right to the end of her journey. In contrast, I had let fear play far too big a role in my life. As I reflected on how I wanted to spend my remaining years, I knew I had to make some big changes.
And now, I am living with the decision to be brave. By this point, I’ve already forced myself into a number of courage-building experiences. If my recent adventures have taught me anything, it’s to stay in the moment. To keep myself grounded in this moment, I focus on my seven-year-old nephew. He’s excited to be out on the water. His excitement is unexpectedly influential. I begin to think that this fishing trip might actually become more than a test of courage. I might enjoy my time at sea.
With this new mindset, everything changes. I stop monitoring myself for the first signs of panic. I take in the sea, the sky, the forested islands to the north, and the snow-capped mountains behind them. There’s salt on my lips and wind in my hair. I’m alive!
Leaving the harbor that morning was just the beginning. I continued to walk further out of my comfort zone for the rest of that year— and every year since. With each new experience, I gained more confidence. Courage, I’ve learned, is a muscle that gets stronger with use.
1.How does the author feel about her first open-water fishing trip at first?
A. Proud. B. Relaxed. C. Disappointed. D. Nervous.
2.Why does the author take the open-water trip?
A. To challenge herself.
B. To learn a new skill.
C. To bring the family closer.
D. To honor her mother’s wishes.
3.What lesson has the author learned from her recent adventures?
A. Family ties are important.
B. The present moment is valuable.
C. Travel broadens the mind.
D. Courage grows with each step.
4.What will the author possibly do in the future according to the last paragraph?
A. Do more physical exercise.
B. Take a boat to explore farther.
C. Continue with new adventure.
D. Achieve her goals within a year.

Passage 1
(25-26高二上·安徽合肥六校联盟·期中)Hearing the speeding cars passing us, I had to focus on the sound of my uncle’s bicycle leading the way. At thirty, with my retinas (视网膜) dying from an eye disease, driving a car was impossible and I couldn’t give up the freedom of riding my bike.
Uncle Fred pedalled steadily. I biked a few inches behind. He shouted directions at each intersection. Suddenly, his voice rose with urgency, “Carol, stop! A car is turning.”
When we reached our destination, my shoulders ached from the ride. As I sat next to Uncle Fred, he cleared his throat and said, “Carol, did you think about getting a trained Seeing Eye dog? It can give you independence.” He knew I was afraid of dogs. Words stuck in my throat. But his voice cracked and planted the seed of an idea. My world shrunk as my blindness grew worse. Luckily, I had a good sense of direction, allowing me to visualize neighborhood routes. This skill could be an advantage when working with a dog.
After calculating, I finally called the guide dog school. The admission application arrived, but I still wasn’t sure. One day, I phoned my friend Robert, a longtime guide dog user in my town. He shared his positive experiences. Somehow, his words convinced me to give it a try.
During the training, the dog trainer’s coaching and each successful walk with the dogs built my confidence. As my guide dog Misty and I bonded, my shoulders relaxed. When I returned home, Uncle Fred was the first to meet Misty. Misty sat at our feet waving her tail. She must have picked up on the positive energy that circled us like a hug. Misty drove away my anxiety as I slowly opened my heart to her. Just as Uncle Fred had predicted, overcoming my fear gave me the opportunity for more independence. My new confidence came from using a guide dog, allowing me to walk tall. Uncle Fred’s advice moved my sense of joy from my bike to my dog.
1.What drove the author to ride a bike?
A. Getting prepared for driving a car.
B. Treating her disease by taking exercise.
C. Getting familiar with noisy background.
D. Enjoying the freedom of moving around.
2.How did the author react to her uncle’s suggestion?
A. She thought it worth a try.
B. She drew up a practical plan.
C. She was stuck in desperation.
D. She refused it for fear of dogs.
3.Why did the author call Robert?
A. To invite him to adopt a dog.
B. To ask him about the application.
C. To encourage him to be positive in life.
D. To consult him about taking a guide dog.
4.What change did Misty bring to the author?
A. She became confident about fighting the illness.
B. She became more attached to her uncle for help.
C. She gained her independence with Misty’s help.
D. She formed her community of guide dog trainers.
Passage 2
(25-26高二上·安徽皖北十三校联考·期中)For years, I struggled with self-doubt, which followed me even in moments of success. No achievement ever seemed enough to silence that inner voice whispering, “You don’t belong here.”
It started after I learned about my condition. Autism (自闭症) wasn’t widely understood back then. My teachers didn’t understand me. My classmates didn’t know how to treat me. Bullying (霸凌) was constant. During those years, I tried to hide my autism, but doing so only deepened my self-doubt.
High school was especially tough. I had back surgery, failed several exams, and struggled with standardized tests. I remember thinking, “What’s the point?” But something deep inside me whispered, “Keep going.” So I did.
Still, the self-doubt stayed, like a shadow in the night. To deal with it, I started writing. At first, it was just a way to get the thoughts out of my head. I poured everything onto the page: anger, sadness, confusion, hope. My voice had been quiet for so long, but now, on paper, it began to find its way.
As I wrote, something shifted. I started sharing my story about autism, about the bullying, about the fight to believe in myself. Something struck me: the very qualities I once tried to hide—like my sensitivity, my unique perspective, my deep compassion (怜悯)—were actually things to be proud of. That was a turning point.
I later turned my writings into a book and had it published. Since then, I’ve spoken publicly and connected with people who once felt invisible, as I once did. I’ll never forget one moment in Dubai: after I finished my talk, a nervous teenager hesitated, then suddenly sang a touching song about wishing parents would understand their children better.
It was so moving and unexpected. Once again, I was reminded that the voice I once tried to hide had helped someone else find theirs.
1.What worsened the author’s self-doubt at first?
A. His back surgery.
B. Hiding his autism.
C. Failing school exams.
D. Being bullied at school.
2.Why did the author start writing?
A. To publish a book.
B. To share his autism.
C. To address his self-doubt.
D. To obtain encouragement.
3.What did the author realize through sharing his story?
A. Autism was common in schools.
B. Writing books struck gold for him.
C. Parents needed hope for their kids.
D. What he once tried to hide became his strength.
4.Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A. From Hiding to Shining
B. Overcoming School Challenges
C. An Inspiring Talk in Dubai
D. Writing to cure Autism

Passage 1
(25-26高二上·安徽皖北十三校联考·期中)Just past midnight, Elle Barbeito drove her Dodge pickup deep into the Florida Everglades. After hours navigating narrow roads, she suddenly pulled over and aimed a flashlight at something with shiny scales. “Python (蟒蛇)!” Barbeito shouted. The next part would require her gun.
Burmese pythons were introduced into the U.S. from Asia as part of the pet trade. Experts believe that owners let go the snakes after they grew too large to handle, and then the greedy snakes began breeding (繁殖) in the wild, reproducing rapidly and eating just about anything they can fit their jaws around, destroying one of the most important ecosystems in the US.
The snakes have few regional predators (捕食者) except alligators, so human detection and removal are the most efficient and effective methods available right now. Over the past 25 years, more than 23,500 pythons have been removed through organized annual hunts, agents, and volunteers like Barbeito who help capture and kill them.
While most snake hunters throw the bodies away or leave them to rot (腐烂), Barbeito does things differently. The 29-year-old, who comes from the world of New York fashion, hunts these enormous creatures and then repurposes their remains, transforming each one into a highly sought-after python-skin product. “I get to have this connection with my material that most artists don’t,” Barbeito says. She’s developed a popular following for her limited-edition line of carefully sourced products, including bags and belts, which appeal to customers who want to wear animal skin without some of the ethical (道德) complications.
For years animal welfare advocates have encouraged shoppers to stay clear of animal-based leathers. Now an increasing number of designers are recognizing how useful the leather of Burmese python skin from the Everglades can be. As brands race to scale their ambition, Barbeito plays a unique role as someone involved in every step of the sourcing and sales process. “Here is a beautiful material that’s sustainable, and nobody was really doing anything with it,” she says. “It became this solution to a problem.”
1.What mainly contributes to the spread of Burmese pythons in Florida Everglades?
A. Suitable climate.
B. Illegal trade of animals.
C. Habitat loss.
D. Lack of natural enemies.
2.What does Barbeito do with pythons?
A. She keeps them as pets.
B. She creates ethical fashion out of them.
C. She sells their remains to fashion designers.
D. She collects their skins for ecological research.
3.What can be inferred about Barbeito’s customers?
A. They value both style and environmental responsibility.
B. They are primarily interested in rare goods.
C. They oppose all forms of animal-based products.
D. They participate in python removal programs.
4.What is Barbeito’s view on using python leather?
A. It offers a win-win solution.
B. It establishes fashion standards.
C. It promotes sustainable energy.

(25-26高二上·安徽皖南八校联考·期中)Katherine Johnson, a hero to American space travel and exploration, was born on Aug. 26, 1918, in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia. Her genius for math and science was evident early and her parents arranged for her and her siblings’ education to be a priority.
Katherine graduated from high school at only 14 and attended West Virginia State College, a historically Black college. When West Virginia decided to quietly integrate its graduate schools in 1939, West Virginia State’s president, Dr. John W. Davis, selected her and two men to be the first Black students offered spots at the state’s flagship school, West Virginia University.
In 1953, in a time of racial separation, she started a job as a human “computer” with the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA), which later developed into NASA.She worked in the West Area Computing section at Langley Research Center on a team headed by fellow West Virginian Dorothy Vaughan. This turned into a long-term position and set the course for Katherine’s role in space exploration.
In 1960, she and engineer Ted Skopinski coauthored Determination of Azimuth Angle at Burnout for Placing a Satellite Over a Selected Earth Position, a report laying out the equations (方程式) describing an orbital spaceflight in which the landing position of the spacecraft is specified. It was the first time a woman in the Flight Research Division had received credit as an author of a research report.
Her expertise was key to John Glenn’s orbit around Earth in 1962, with Glenn putting much of his confidence in Katherine to make the mission a success. As a part of the preflight checklist, Glenn asked engineers to “get the girl” — Johnson — to run the same numbers through the same equations that had been programmed into the computer, but by hand, on her desktop mechanical calculating machine. “If she says they’re good,” Katherine Johnson remembered the astronaut saying, “then I’m ready to go.”
1.What can we learn about Katherine Johnson’s life experience?
A. Her parents attached great importance to her education.
B. She was the only Black student to enter West Virginia University in 1939.
C. She took the lead of the West Area Computing section.
D. She joined the NACA organization after NASA had been established.
2.Why does the writer quote (引用) John Glenn’s words in the last paragraph?
A. To explain Johnson’s hand calculation (计算) was tough.
B. To highlight John Glenn was a strict mission leader.
C. To prove Johnson’s hand calculations were reliable.
D. To illustrate the computer’s data was not trustworthy.
3.Which of the following can best describe Katherine Johnson?
A. Modest and sociable.
B. Talented and hardworking.
C. Stubborn and ambitious.
D. Considerate and cooperative.
4.What is the best title for the text?
A. Katherine Johnson: A Lifetime of Educational Pursuits
B. The Story of a “Computer”: Katherine Johnson’s Early Life at NASA
C. Katherine Johnson: A Pioneering Force in Space Exploration
D. Mathematics: The Key to John Glenn’s Historic Space Flight

(25-26高二上·安徽六安毛坦厂中学·期中)Diego Cardenosa has loved sharks ever since he was a child. The Colombia native was never afraid of them when he visited his beloved beach. Instead, he was fascinated with how sharks moved through water using their fins (鳍). It’s no surprise that he became a marine (海洋的) biologist.
Concern grew as Cardenosa learned about the serious state of sharks worldwide. The International Union for the Conservation of Nature reports a shocking rise in the extinction threat to shark species, now affecting 35%, up nearly 50% in a decade. Overfishing stands as the main cause, driven by demand for shark meat and fins.
“They are being killed at a rate that cannot survive in the future,” said Cardenosa. “As soon as I realized they were going through a conservation crisis, I wanted to help what I love the most.”
Scientists worry the sharks’ dropping numbers could bring ecological disaster as they play a number of key roles in the ocean. Unlike many fish, sharks take a long time to reproduce. Fisheries kill about 100 million sharks a year, according to the non-profit Save Our Seas.
Many sharks end up as bycatch when long lines and net s unintentionally catch them. Today, Cardeñosa fights against the illegal shark trade as a Distinguished Postdoctoral Scholar at Florida International University. His innovation — a portable DNA kit like a small red box — plays a key role in identifying shark species and their origins in major ports globally. This breakthrough has greatly improved law enforcement (实施) efforts in ports like Hong Kong, where the amount of seized shark fins has risen from five to a hundred tons annually since the kit’s introduction.
Cardeñosa’s efforts extend beyond sharks, aiding authorities in stopping trafficking of other endangered species like European eels and South America’s matamata turtles. His commitment earned him recognition from international criminal police organization.
1.What led to Diego Cardeñosa’s profession?
A. His great interest in sharks.
B. His surprise at sharks’ value.
C. His concern for shark extinction.
D. His childhood love for oceans.
2.What is the main reason for shark species being threatened to extinction?
A. Climate change.
B. City construction.
C. Natural disasters.
D. Business fishing.
3.What could happen if sharks continue to decrease in numbers?
A. There will be fewer attacks on tourists.
B. More fish species might become endangered.
C. Marine ecological balance could be destroyed.
D. Fishing industries would face less competition.
4.What is the function of Diego’s DNA kit?
A. It reduces shark fin sales.
B. It aids in species identification.
C. It changes law enforcement.
D. It meets demand for shark products.

(25-26高二上·安徽皖江名校联盟·期中)Recently I had a terrible experience at a Trader Joe’s grocery store. The cashier was remarkably rude to me in a place that is typically known for having great customer service. I came away from the experience first thinking “What did I do to deserve this treatment…”. Then after some thought I came to the realization that this person was more than likely having a bad day and I just happen to be the one they let it out on.
I decided to give the grocery chain another chance so I visited a different location on the other side of town. I was not familiar with the layout and asked an employee for help. They were so kind. I opened up about my past experience at the other location. She reassured me this was my new store and showed me where they kept the coffee. When I got to the register the folks helping me out were so kind, I mentioned the bad experience and how I’ve decided this was my new store. The gentleman helping me stepped away for a second and came back with a small handful of flowers and said “I know this isn’t much, but I wanted to give this to you.” It meant more than that man could ever know.
I am a special-need mom and take my son with autism(自闭症)with me everywhere I go, I also carry around my toddler and with the two sometimes we can be really loud. I get lots of looks, questioning my chaos. This gentleman set all those insecurities aside and showed me in a simple way he cared and I was valued. It made my day. I was able to pass the flowers off to my 4-year old and she fell asleep holding them on our way home. She was so happy about the flowers!
Whenever I see something unkind happen I am reminded that I can always turn the tables and bring kind-ness to someone in need no matter how small the gesture it can have a wonderful ripple (涟漪) effect.

(25-26高二上·安徽合肥一中·期中)I had been planning a hiking trip to the Canadian Rockies ever since I saw the beautiful scenery there in a magazine. My dream finally got realized last summer, when my wife and I went on a vacation to the national parks of the Alberta-British Columbia border (边界).
After our experiences of a wet vacation in the beginning of summer in New Zealand a couple of years ago, we decided to push this trip to the end of summer — just to change things a bit. Our choice paid off. After the wettest June and July in its history, the region met with one of the longest periods of good weather in early August when we happened to visit.
Banff National Park, which is the first national park in Canada, was our first destination. We spent an hour riding the boat in Banff before quickly heading off to the hikers’ dream place of Lake Louise, where we met our biggest disappointment of the trip. The park authorities determined that the area’s bears could pose a threat to smaller groups. To ensure visitors’ safety, all paths, including the Paradise Valley hike, were closed to groups of fewer than six people. Couples, such as us, were forced to hunt for couples with similar routes and physical abilities. We gave up halfway when realizing it was harder than expected.
In order to fill the sudden vacuum (空缺) in our schedule, we then decided to visit Glacier and Mt. Revelstoke, which are two less-visited parks of the area, not because they lack scenery, but because bigger parks to their west get most of the tourist traffic. Driving toward the parks, my wife looked through maps, her eyes shining with curiosity. With each turn of the road, we felt a thrill of excitement. The unknown lay ahead, and we accepted it wholeheartedly, eager to see what hidden surprises awaited us around the next corner.
1.How might the author feel about the timing of their travel?
A. Satisfied. B. Indifferent. C. Regretful D. Hesitant.
2.Why were paths to Lake Louise closed to small groups?
A. To protect wildlife habitats.
B. To avoid the risk of bear attacks.
C. To increase tourist numbers.
D. To aid systematic management.
3.What keeps Glacier and Mt. Revelstoke from being widely noticed?
A. Their more attractive neighboring parks.
B. Their inconvenient transportation.
C. Their remote geographical location.
D. Their unremarkable scenery.
4.What lesson can we draw from the author’s travel experience?
A. Dare to take adventures.

(25-26高二上·安徽合肥六中·期中)For a number of people, visiting the dentist for regular check-ups is totally common. However, for countless individuals across the globe — particularly those living in impoverished (贫困的) areas — getting dental care and having their teeth examined simply isn’t possible. Felipe Rossi, a dentist from Brazil, has devoted himself to helping turn this situation around.
Growing up in the USA, Felipe Rossi had just obtained the Bachelor of Medicine Degree and was about to start a master’s degree in Pediatric Dentistry (儿童口腔学) when a journey to his father’s home — Balsabo in Brazil — changed his initial plan. “All locals didn’t have access to dental care, and consequently, many of them had misshapen teeth or even lost some teeth, leading to many people not daring to laugh with mouth open.” Felipe Rossi recalled. “A desire was planted in my heart. That is, to use my skills to bring healthy smiles to people suffering from dental problems.”
With the support of his parents, Felipe formed an NGO (non-government organization) called Porsorriso to give free oral treatments to individuals with low incomes who require cleaning, fillings, crowns, restoration work and more. His team consists of approximately 30 registered volunteers who go with him to poor towns and villages in Brazil.
Sponsorship is generally provided by two private companies. Individuals may also make donations through the ‘Smile Solidarity’ program, where they can choose monthly amounts to contribute. Porsorriso also holds regular fundraisers to afford the cost of providing free dental services around the country.
As noble as its objective is, Felipe admits that Porsorriso is “struggling to survive” because of the huge cost of providing dental work and the constant fundraising events they have to hold to keep the NGO in normal functioning. “Challenging as it is, it did bring healthy teeth as well as renewed confidence to the locals. We will continue this transformative act whatever difficulties we will face”. Felipe said with a strong will.

(25-26高二上·安徽芜湖一中·期中)In the middle of San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park, Amanda Barrows carefully placed a wooden nightstand (床头柜) on the ground. She attached a sign reading, “Take a poem, leave a poem.”
So far, more than 100 poems have come in. “It’s completely unexpected,” said Barrows. “I’m really impressed by the outpouring of support.”
A park ranger (护林人) by day and a poet by night, Barrows joined a Poetry for the People class at City College of San Francisco (CCSF). Students were asked to find a way to “bring poetry into the community” as their final project.
In the beginning, Barrows struggled to land on an idea. Eventually, though, it dawned on her that she could perhaps combine together her two worlds — parks and poetry. A colleague offered up a weathered nightstand, which Barrows thought would be the perfect tool for her project, as she could fill the drawer at the top with fresh paper and pens and add a box at the bottom for poems.
The concept reminded her of Little Free Libraries, which featured bookstands stationed across the city. “I was inspired by the little free libraries you see in San Francisco (SF), where you ‘take a book, leave a book’, and thought, ‘Maybe I could do this with poetry.’” said Barrows. Since she only had a single nightstand to work with, Barrows decided that she would leave it in a park for four days before moving it to a new location. San Francisco’s Recreation and Park Department manages about 220 parks, and Barrows’s goal is to bring the poetry nightstand to all of them.
Since the Poetry Nightstand project started, people have donated a wide range of writing. Barrows has shared most of the submissions on social media. “It really is a community project,” Barrows said. “It belongs to all of us.”
One of the teachers at the CCSF poetry course, Lauren Muller, told The Washington Post that “people need poetry now”, which she suggested as the reason for the success of Barrows’s project.
1.Why did Barrows start the Poetry Nightstand project?
A. To share her own poems.
B. To advertise a poetry class.
C. To encourage young poets.
D. To complete a required task.
2.How did Barrows’s project differ from Little Free Libraries?
A. It wasn’t well-received by the public.
B. It wasn’t fixed on a specific site.
C. It covered a larger area in the city.
D. It was only open to citizens of SF.
3.What did Muller think contributed to the success of Barrows’s project?
A. The benefits of writing poetry.
B. The public demand for poetry.
C. The help from her neighbors.
D. The large number of parks in SF.
4.Which of the following words best describe Barrows?
A. Courageous and calm.

(2)题解析:
推理判断题。根据第五段中的“The concept reminded her of Little Free Libraries, which featured bookstands stationed across the city.( 这个概念让她想起了小型免费图书馆,它的特色是遍布全城的书柜)”可知,Little Free Libraries遍布全城。再根据该段中的“Since she only had a single nightstand to work with, Barrows decided that she would leave it in a park for four days before moving it to a new location. San Francisco’s Recreation and Park Department manages about 220 parks, and Barrows’s goal is to bring the poetry nightstand to all of them.( 由于她只有一个床头柜,巴罗斯决定把它放在公园里四天,然后把它搬到一个新的地方。旧金山的娱乐和公园部门管理着大约220个公园,巴罗斯的目标是把诗歌床头柜带到所有的公园)”可知,巴罗斯只有一个床头柜可以使用,她先把它在一个公园里放四天,然后再搬到其他新的地方,她的目标是将这个床头柜带到所有公园,因此她的项目是流动的,而非固定在某个特定地点。故选B。
(3)题解析:
细节理解题。根据最后一段“One of the teachers at the CCSF poetry course, Lauren Muller, told The Washington Post that“people need poetry now”, which she suggested as the reason for the success of Barrows’s project.( CCSF诗歌课程的一位老师劳伦·穆勒告诉《华盛顿邮报》,“人们现在需要诗歌”,她认为这是巴罗斯项目成功的原因)”可知,穆勒认为巴罗斯的项目成功的原因是“人们现在需要诗歌”。故选B。

Passage 1
(25-26高二上·安徽省大联考·期中)Faced with climate challenges threatening her crops, Lakkhampa, a Thai farmer, sought ways to make her farm stronger. She aimed to grow different kinds of crops, save water, and improve soil health. This led her to a training program started by PepsiCo and GIZ, a German organization for international teamwork, under the develoPPP project. The program was designed to help Thai potato farmers adapt to climate change through environmentally friendly farming practices.
Before she eagerly joined the training in 2022, Lakkhampa had been using traditional methods. The develoPPP program offered many learning chances, like training courses and visits to a model farm. She quickly began to learn and apply several innovative methods.
For her rice fields, she practiced switching between wetting and drying the soil. This means sometimes removing the water from the field and sometimes filling it again. This method uses 30% less water and produces fewer greenhouse gases. After gathering rice, she planted potatoes in the same field. This “integrated farming” approach, along with careful drop-by-drop watering for her corn and potatoes, allowed her to use fewer insect-killing chemicals and fertilizers while achieving better crops and a higher income. She effectively made her farming able to face future challenges.
Her success did not go unnoticed. Recognizing her potential, the program leaders encouraged her to become a trainer. Lakkhampa soon began speaking at women farmer training courses and guiding others. She became a trailblazer in her community and one of her rice fields became a model field, where neighbors could see her effective methods firsthand, building trust and inspiring knowledge sharing within the community.
The develoPPP program, having educated over 3,000 farmers in Thailand, shows the power of joint efforts. It enables farmers to work together, strengthening their practices and management to meet market demands. From 2022 to 2024, these farmers increased their income by over 50% and reduced greenhouse gas emissions per ton produced by 27%. Lakkhampa’s story proves that change often starts small — with one farmer, one field, one idea — creating lasting hope for the future.
1.Why did Lakkhampa join the develoPPP program?
A. To make more like-minded friends.
B. To meet the needs of the local market.
C. To learn ways to deal with climate change.
D. To teach other women farmers in her community.
2.What is a direct benefit of the “wetting and drying” method?
A. It frees crops from diseases.
B. It enriches the soil with natural fertilizers.
C. It lowers the environmental impact of farming.
D. It allows different crops to grow at the same time.
3.What does the underlined word “trailblazer” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Pioneer. B. Performer. C. Observer. D. Designer.
4.Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. A Farmer’s Path to a Lasting Future
B. Advanced Technology in Modern Agriculture

这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了泰国农民Lakkhampa通过参加develoPPP项目,学习可持续农业技术,成功应对气候变化挑战,并成为社区楷模的故事。
(1)题解析:
细节理解题。根据第一段“She aimed to grow different kinds of crops, save water, and improve soil health. This led her to a training program started by PepsiCo and GIZ, a German organization for international teamwork, under the develoPPP project.(她的目标是种植不同种类的作物,节约用水,改善土壤健康。这使她参加了由百事可乐公司和德国国际合作组织GIZ在develoPPP项目下启动的一个培训项目。)”可知,Lakkhampa加入这个项目是为了学习应对气候变化的方法。故选C。
(2)题解析:
细节理解题。根据第三段“For her rice fields, she practiced switching between wetting and drying the soil. This means sometimes removing the water from the field and sometimes filling it again. This method uses 30%less water and produces fewer greenhouse gases.(对于她的稻田,她练习了土壤湿润和干燥之间的切换。这意味着有时从田里排水,有时再灌水。这种方法用水量少30%,产生的温室气体也少。)”可知,“湿润和干燥”方法可以减少用水量和温室气体排放,即降低了农业对环境的影响。故选C。
(3)题解析:
词句猜测题。根据下文“one of her rice fields became a model field, where neighbors could see her effective methods firsthand, building trust and inspiring knowledge sharing within the community.(她的一块稻田成为了示范田,邻居们可以在那里亲眼看到她的有效方法,从而在社区内建立信任并激发知识共享。)”可推测出,她成为了社区中的一名“先驱”。由此可推知,trailblazer意为“先驱”。故选A。
(4)题解析:
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Lakkhampa’s story proves that change often starts small — with one farmer, one field, one idea — creating lasting hope for the future.(Lakkhampa的故事证明,改变往往从小开始——从一个农民、一块田地、一个想法开始——为未来创造持久的希望。)”和全文内容可知,文章讲述了泰国农民Lakkhampa通过参加develoPPP项目,学习可持续农业技术,成功应对气候变化挑战,并成为社区楷模的故事。所以选项A“一个农民通往持久未来的道路”可作为本文的最佳标题。故选A。
Passage 2
(25-26高二上·安徽A10联盟·期中)Yared Nuguse never dreamed of being a professional runner, let alone an Olympic medalist. His career plans even involved becoming a dentist(牙医) when he was 14 years old.
But life has a funny way of taking unlikely turns, our hidden talents unearthed in places we never expect. For a teenage Nuguse, the idea that he would one day become a top middle-distance athlete— and among the best in the world— was laughable.
After showing early promise as a high school student in Louisville, Kentucky, Nuguse competed for the Notre Dame Fighting Irish, winning the NCAA title in the 1,500 meters in 2019. From there, a career in running called to him, along with the fitting label of “America’s accidental champion”.
“It’s been a crazy journey, one that I never really saw coming or expected,” says Nuguse. “But it’s one that I’m really glad I gave a chance because I would be in a completely different space right now if I hadn’t. Running has just been changing my life in many amazing ways, and I’ve been really, really happy for it, and happy that my track coach in high school was able to convince me.”
Even today, Nuguse struggles to get his head around the path his life has taken, still failing to see himself as a natural runner. He doesn’t consider himself a sporty person. But his achievements on the track are testament(证明)to his enormous talent and work ethic. In one of the most eagerly anticipated events of last year’s Paris Olympics, Nuguse took bronze(铜牌)in the 1,500 meters, bested by fellow American Cole Hocker and Britain’s Josh Kerr. It was a fast final dash for the ages.
1.Why did Nuguse consider his journey crazy?
A. It was full of unexpected changes.
B. It took him a long time to succeed.
C. He disliked running at the beginning.
D. He suffered a lot of serious injuries.
2.What is Nuguse’s attitude towards his running career?
A. Regretful. B. Indifferent. C. Grateful. D. Worried.
3.What does the underlined phrase “get his head around” in the last paragraph mean?
A. Balance. B. Forget. C. Understand. D. Record.
4.Where is this text most likely from?
A. A science textbook.
B. A sports magazine.
C. A book review.
D. A health guide.
【答案】1. A 2. C 3. C 4. B
【解析】【导语】
本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了原本想当牙医的运动员Yared Nuguse,从意外走上跑步之路,最终成为奥运奖牌得主的故事。他对自己意想不到的成功感到惊喜和感激,并强调高中教练的引导和跑步带来的改变。
(1)题解析:
细节理解题。根据文章第四段中Nuguse所说的话“It’s been a crazy journey, one that I never really saw coming or expected (这是一段疯狂的旅程,一段我从未真正预见或期待的旅程)”可知,Nuguse觉得自己的这段人生旅程很疯狂,是因为它充满了未曾预料到的变化。他原本从未想过会成为一名职业跑步运动员,更别说成为奥运奖牌获得者了,所以A选项“It was full of unexpected changes.(它充满了意想不到的变化)”符合题意。故选A项。
(2)题解析:
推理判断题。从文章第四段Nuguse说的“But it’s one that I’m really glad I gave a chance because I would be in a completely different space right now if I hadn’t. Running has just been changing my life in many amazing ways, and I’ve been really, really happy for it, and happy that my track coach in high school was able to convince me. (但我真的很庆幸自己给了这个机会,因为如果我没有这样做,我现在的处境会完全不同。跑步以许多惊人的方式改变了我的生活,我真的、真的为此感到高兴,也很高兴我高中时的田径教练能够说服我)”可以看出,Nuguse对于自己跑步生涯的态度是感激的。他感激自己给了跑步这个机会,感激跑步改变了他的人生,也感激高中教练说服他。故选C项。
(3)题解析:
词句猜测题。根据文章最后一段“Even today, Nuguse struggles to get his head around the path his life has taken, still failing to see himself as a natural runner.(即使到了今天,Nuguse仍然很难get his head around自己的人生道路,仍然不认为自己是一个天生的跑步者)”可知,这里表达的是Nuguse到现在都很难理解自己的人生为何会走上跑步这条道路,他不觉得自己有跑步的天赋。所以“get his head around”意思是“理解”。C选项“Understand.(理解)”与划线词意思相近。故选C项。
(4)题解析:
推理判断题。文章主要讲述了Yared Nuguse从原本梦想成为牙医,到意外成为一名职业跑步运动员并在奥运会上获得奖牌的故事,重点围绕他的跑步生涯展开。B选项“A sports magazine.(一本体育杂志)”符合文章关于运动员经历和成就的主题。故选B项。

Passage 1
(25-26高二上·安徽鼎尖名校大联考·期中)During my childhood in Ireland, few things brought me as much delight as a rainy day, for it promised the possibility of a magical pursuit — treasure hunting. In Irish stories, leprechauns — small magical creatures-hide their pots of gold where the rainbow ends. Legend has it that they have to unwillingly give you their gold if you can find the end of the rainbow.
Though I never did unearth any treasure, those rainy days were filled with wonder and imagination. As I grew older, however, my childhood dream faded. Yet for some, that dream never fades — and for a fortunate few, it even becomes a reality.
Such is the case of Mel Fisher, whose dream of finding treasure also began in childhood while reading classics like Treasure Island. Unlike me, he pursued this dream and ultimately became a renowned treasure hunter. After searching for over 16 years, he located the Atocha, a Spanish ship that sank off the coast of Florida in 1622. Inside were gold bars, silver coins, and precious jewels, valued at approximately $ 400 million.
However, gaining the treasure was not all plain sailing. After fighting against tough conditions at sea, the State of Florida took Fisher to court over ownership of the find. After more than 200 hearings, Fisher agreed to donate 20% of his findings to a museum in Florida, where you can see many objects from the Atocha.
This story, however, brings about many debates. Archaeologists argue that commercial treasure hunts lead to the loss of cultural heritage, describing such activities as undersea “plundering (劫掠). Nevertheless, advocates claim professional hunters like Fisher contribute to history by carefully documenting each discovery and making it accessible to the public through museum donations and information on websites.
Now, I learn that the rainbow’s end is beyond my reach, but to my relief, with just a click of the mouse, I too can appreciate the “riches” from the Atocha! Just as Nietzsche wisely said, “Our treasure lies in the beehive of our knowledge.”
1.Why was the author so fond of rainy day as a child?
A. It allowed time for reading Irish stories.
B. It created chances to seek hidden treasure.
C. She found pleasure in walking through the rain.
D. She desired to meet leprechauns hiding in the rain.
2.What inspired Mel Fisher to go treasure hunting?
A. A lifelong love for exploration.
B. Stories from his childhood reads.
C. The discovery of an ancient sunken ship.
D. A previous trip to Ireland for treasure.
3.What do the underlined words “all plain sailing” in paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. Entirely smooth.
B. Highly profitable.
C. Particularly difficult.
D. Completely predictable.
4.What is mainly conveyed in the last paragraph?
A. The Atocha’s treasures are within everyone’s reach.
B. Childhood dreams should give way to practical gains.
C. Technology makes treasure hunting accessible to everyone.
D. True treasure lies in the wealth of knowledge one can obtain.
【答案】1. B 2. B 3. A 4. D

这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者童年因爱尔兰寻宝传说喜爱雨天,而梅尔・费希尔受童年读物启发,耗时 16 年找到沉船宝藏,却陷入所有权纠纷。此事引发争议,作者最终领悟:真正的宝藏是知识的财富。
(1)题解析:
细节理解题。根据第一段中“During my childhood in Ireland, few things brought me as much delight as a rainy day, for it promised the possibility of a magical pursuit—treasure hunting. (在爱尔兰度过的童年时期,没有什么比下雨天更能带给我快乐的了,因为下雨天预示着一场神奇的寻宝之旅的可能。)”可知,作者小时候喜欢下雨天是因为它创造了寻找隐藏宝藏的机会。故选B项。
(2)题解析:
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Such is the case of Mel Fisher, whose dream of finding treasure also began in childhood while reading classics like Treasure Island.( 梅尔·费舍尔就是这样一个例子,他的寻宝梦也是在童年时期阅读《金银岛》等经典作品时开始的。)”可知,梅尔·费舍尔踏上寻宝路是源于童年阅读的故事。故选B项。
(3)题解析:
词句猜测题。根据第四段首句及后文“After fighting against tough conditions at sea, the State of Florida took Fisher to court over ownership of the find. After more than 200 hearings, Fisher agreed to donate 20% of his findings to a museum in Florida, where you can see many objects from the Atocha. (在与海上的恶劣条件作斗争后,佛罗里达州将费舍尔告上法庭,争夺这一发现的所有权。经过200多次听证会,费舍尔同意将他发现的20%捐赠给佛罗里达州的一家博物馆,在那里你可以看到许多来自阿托查的物品。)”可知,后文连续描述费舍尔在获取宝藏过程中遭遇的重重困难,反向说明“all plain sailing”应指“一帆风顺”,选项A项“Entirely smooth(完全顺利)”符合语境。故选A项。
(4)题解析:
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Now, I learn that the rainbow’s end is beyond my reach, but to my relief, with just a click of the mouse, I too can appreciate the “riches” from the Atocha! Just as Nietzsche wisely said, “Our treasure lies in the beehive of our knowledge.”(现在,我知道彩虹的尽头是我无法到达的,但令我宽慰的是,只需点击鼠标,我也可以欣赏来自阿托查的“财富”!正如尼采所言:“我们的宝藏就藏在知识的蜂巢里。”)”可推知,最后一段主要传达了真正的财富在于所获得的知识财富。故选D项。
Passage 2
(25-26高二上·安徽安庆一中·期中)It’s still dark as my husband, brother-in-law, nephew and I walk toward where our boat is waiting. We’re on a family holiday on the west coast of Canada, and the four of us have booked a fishing trip with a local guide. This is my first open-water fishing trip, and I get butterflies in my stomach. We board the boat, and I watch the sky lighten, reflecting on the decision that brought me to this moment.
For most of my adult life, I’d chosen to stay safely in a series of “sheltered harbors”. It took my mother’s death from breast disease at age sixty-five to wake me. My mother lived with courage right to the end of her journey. In contrast, I had let fear play far too big a role in my life. As I reflected on how I wanted to spend my remaining years, I knew I had to make some big changes.
And now, I am living with the decision to be brave. By this point, I’ve already forced myself into a number of courage-building experiences. If my recent adventures have taught me anything, it’s to stay in the moment. To keep myself grounded in this moment, I focus on my seven-year-old nephew. He’s excited to be out on the water. His excitement is unexpectedly influential. I begin to think that this fishing trip might actually become more than a test of courage. I might enjoy my time at sea.
With this new mindset, everything changes. I stop monitoring myself for the first signs of panic. I take in the sea, the sky, the forested islands to the north, and the snow-capped mountains behind them. There’s salt on my lips and wind in my hair. I’m alive!
Leaving the harbor that morning was just the beginning. I continued to walk further out of my comfort zone for the rest of that year— and every year since. With each new experience, I gained more confidence. Courage, I’ve learned, is a muscle that gets stronger with use.
1.How does the author feel about her first open-water fishing trip at first?
A. Proud. B. Relaxed. C. Disappointed. D. Nervous.
2.Why does the author take the open-water trip?
A. To challenge herself.
B. To learn a new skill.
C. To bring the family closer.
D. To honor her mother’s wishes.
3.What lesson has the author learned from her recent adventures?
A. Family ties are important.
B. The present moment is valuable.
C. Travel broadens the mind.
D. Courage grows with each step.
4.What will the author possibly do in the future according to the last paragraph?
A. Do more physical exercise.
B. Take a boat to explore farther.
C. Continue with new adventure.
D. Achieve her goals within a year.

Passage 1
(25-26高二上·安徽合肥六校联盟·期中)Hearing the speeding cars passing us, I had to focus on the sound of my uncle’s bicycle leading the way. At thirty, with my retinas (视网膜) dying from an eye disease, driving a car was impossible and I couldn’t give up the freedom of riding my bike.
Uncle Fred pedalled steadily. I biked a few inches behind. He shouted directions at each intersection. Suddenly, his voice rose with urgency, “Carol, stop! A car is turning.”
When we reached our destination, my shoulders ached from the ride. As I sat next to Uncle Fred, he cleared his throat and said, “Carol, did you think about getting a trained Seeing Eye dog? It can give you independence.” He knew I was afraid of dogs. Words stuck in my throat. But his voice cracked and planted the seed of an idea. My world shrunk as my blindness grew worse. Luckily, I had a good sense of direction, allowing me to visualize neighborhood routes. This skill could be an advantage when working with a dog.
After calculating, I finally called the guide dog school. The admission application arrived, but I still wasn’t sure. One day, I phoned my friend Robert, a longtime guide dog user in my town. He shared his positive experiences. Somehow, his words convinced me to give it a try.
During the training, the dog trainer’s coaching and each successful walk with the dogs built my confidence. As my guide dog Misty and I bonded, my shoulders relaxed. When I returned home, Uncle Fred was the first to meet Misty. Misty sat at our feet waving her tail. She must have picked up on the positive energy that circled us like a hug. Misty drove away my anxiety as I slowly opened my heart to her. Just as Uncle Fred had predicted, overcoming my fear gave me the opportunity for more independence. My new confidence came from using a guide dog, allowing me to walk tall. Uncle Fred’s advice moved my sense of joy from my bike to my dog.
1.What drove the author to ride a bike?
A. Getting prepared for driving a car.
B. Treating her disease by taking exercise.
C. Getting familiar with noisy background.
D. Enjoying the freedom of moving around.
2.How did the author react to her uncle’s suggestion?
A. She thought it worth a try.
B. She drew up a practical plan.
C. She was stuck in desperation.
D. She refused it for fear of dogs.
3.Why did the author call Robert?
A. To invite him to adopt a dog.
B. To ask him about the application.
C. To encourage him to be positive in life.
D. To consult him about taking a guide dog.
4.What change did Misty bring to the author?
A. She became confident about fighting the illness.
B. She became more attached to her uncle for help.
C. She gained her independence with Misty’s help.
D. She formed her community of guide dog trainers.

(3)题解析:
细节理解题。由第四段“One day, I phoned my friend Robert, a longtime guide dog user in my town. He shared his positive experiences. Somehow, his words convinced me to give it a try.(有一天,我打电话给我的朋友罗伯特,他是我镇上一位长期使用导盲犬的人。他分享了自己的积极经历。不知怎么的,他的话说服了我试一试。)”可知,作者打电话给好友罗伯特,因为他养了很长时间的导盲犬,所以作者向他咨询。故选D项。

Passage 2
(25-26高二上·安徽皖北十三校联考·期中)For years, I struggled with self-doubt, which followed me even in moments of success. No achievement ever seemed enough to silence that inner voice whispering, “You don’t belong here.”
It started after I learned about my condition. Autism (自闭症) wasn’t widely understood back then. My teachers didn’t understand me. My classmates didn’t know how to treat me. Bullying (霸凌) was constant. During those years, I tried to hide my autism, but doing so only deepened my self-doubt.
High school was especially tough. I had back surgery, failed several exams, and struggled with standardized tests. I remember thinking, “What’s the point?” But something deep inside me whispered, “Keep going.” So I did.
Still, the self-doubt stayed, like a shadow in the night. To deal with it, I started writing. At first, it was just a way to get the thoughts out of my head. I poured everything onto the page: anger, sadness, confusion, hope. My voice had been quiet for so long, but now, on paper, it began to find its way.
As I wrote, something shifted. I started sharing my story about autism, about the bullying, about the fight to believe in myself. Something struck me: the very qualities I once tried to hide—like my sensitivity, my unique perspective, my deep compassion (怜悯)—were actually things to be proud of. That was a turning point.
I later turned my writings into a book and had it published. Since then, I’ve spoken publicly and connected with people who once felt invisible, as I once did. I’ll never forget one moment in Dubai: after I finished my talk, a nervous teenager hesitated, then suddenly sang a touching song about wishing parents would understand their children better.
It was so moving and unexpected. Once again, I was reminded that the voice I once tried to hide had helped someone else find theirs.
1.What worsened the author’s self-doubt at first?
A. His back surgery.
B. Hiding his autism.
C. Failing school exams.
D. Being bullied at school.
2.Why did the author start writing?
A. To publish a book.
B. To share his autism.
C. To address his self-doubt.
D. To obtain encouragement.
3.What did the author realize through sharing his story?
A. Autism was common in schools.
B. Writing books struck gold for him.
C. Parents needed hope for their kids.
D. What he once tried to hide became his strength.
4.Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A. From Hiding to Shining
B. Overcoming School Challenges
C. An Inspiring Talk in Dubai
D. Writing to cure Autism
【答案】1. B 2. C 3. D 4. A

That was a turning point.(当我写作时,一些事情发生了变化。我开始分享我的自闭症故事,分享被欺负的故事,分享相信自己而奋斗的故事。我突然想到:我曾经试图隐藏的品质——比如我的敏感、我独特的视角、我深深的同情心——实际上是值得骄傲的事情。那是一个转折点)”可知,通过分享自己的故事,作者意识到自己曾经试图隐藏的东西变成了自己的力量。故选D。
(4)题解析:
主旨大意题。根据第一段“For years, I struggled with self-doubt, which followed me even in moments of success. No achievement ever seemed enough to silence that inner voice whispering, “You don’t belong here.”(多年来,我一直在与自我怀疑作斗争,即使在成功的时刻,它也一直伴随着我。没有任何成就足以让那个内心低语的声音安静下来:“你不属于这里。”)”以及全文可知,文章主要讲述了作者因为患有自闭症,一直自我怀疑,为了应对它,作者开始写作,在写作中作者分享自己的故事,并意识到自己曾经试图隐藏的品质实际上值得骄傲,作者后来把自己的作品出版成书,并公开演讲,与那些曾经像自己一样感到被忽视的人建立了联系。故A选项“从隐藏到闪耀”最符合文章标题。故选A。

Passage 1
(25-26高二上·安徽皖北十三校联考·期中)Just past midnight, Elle Barbeito drove her Dodge pickup deep into the Florida Everglades. After hours navigating narrow roads, she suddenly pulled over and aimed a flashlight at something with shiny scales. “Python (蟒蛇)!” Barbeito shouted. The next part would require her gun.
Burmese pythons were introduced into the U.S. from Asia as part of the pet trade. Experts believe that owners let go the snakes after they grew too large to handle, and then the greedy snakes began breeding (繁殖) in the wild, reproducing rapidly and eating just about anything they can fit their jaws around, destroying one of the most important ecosystems in the US.
The snakes have few regional predators (捕食者) except alligators, so human detection and removal are the most efficient and effective methods available right now. Over the past 25 years, more than 23,500 pythons have been removed through organized annual hunts, agents, and volunteers like Barbeito who help capture and kill them.
While most snake hunters throw the bodies away or leave them to rot (腐烂), Barbeito does things differently. The 29-year-old, who comes from the world of New York fashion, hunts these enormous creatures and then repurposes their remains, transforming each one into a highly sought-after python-skin product. “I get to have this connection with my material that most artists don’t,” Barbeito says. She’s developed a popular following for her limited-edition line of carefully sourced products, including bags and belts, which appeal to customers who want to wear animal skin without some of the ethical (道德) complications.
For years animal welfare advocates have encouraged shoppers to stay clear of animal-based leathers. Now an increasing number of designers are recognizing how useful the leather of Burmese python skin from the Everglades can be. As brands race to scale their ambition, Barbeito plays a unique role as someone involved in every step of the sourcing and sales process. “Here is a beautiful material that’s sustainable, and nobody was really doing anything with it,” she says. “It became this solution to a problem.”
1.What mainly contributes to the spread of Burmese pythons in Florida Everglades?
A. Suitable climate.
B. Illegal trade of animals.
C. Habitat loss.
D. Lack of natural enemies.
2.What does Barbeito do with pythons?
A. She keeps them as pets.
B. She creates ethical fashion out of them.
C. She sells their remains to fashion designers.
D. She collects their skins for ecological research.
3.What can be inferred about Barbeito’s customers?
A. They value both style and environmental responsibility.
B. They are primarily interested in rare goods.
C. They oppose all forms of animal-based products.
D. They participate in python removal programs.
4.What is Barbeito’s view on using python leather?
A. It offers a win-win solution.
B. It establishes fashion standards.
C. It promotes sustainable energy.
D. It is supported by environmentalists.

Passage 2
(25-26高二上·安徽皖南八校联考·期中)Katherine Johnson, a hero to American space travel and exploration, was born on Aug. 26, 1918, in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia. Her genius for math and science was evident early and her parents arranged for her and her siblings’ education to be a priority.
Katherine graduated from high school at only 14 and attended West Virginia State College, a historically Black college. When West Virginia decided to quietly integrate its graduate schools in 1939, West Virginia State’s president, Dr. John W. Davis, selected her and two men to be the first Black students offered spots at the state’s flagship school, West Virginia University.
In 1953, in a time of racial separation, she started a job as a human “computer” with the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA), which later developed into NASA.She worked in the West Area Computing section at Langley Research Center on a team headed by fellow West Virginian Dorothy Vaughan. This turned into a long-term position and set the course for Katherine’s role in space exploration.
In 1960, she and engineer Ted Skopinski coauthored Determination of Azimuth Angle at Burnout for Placing a Satellite Over a Selected Earth Position, a report laying out the equations (方程式) describing an orbital spaceflight in which the landing position of the spacecraft is specified. It was the first time a woman in the Flight Research Division had received credit as an author of a research report.
Her expertise was key to John Glenn’s orbit around Earth in 1962, with Glenn putting much of his confidence in Katherine to make the mission a success. As a part of the preflight checklist, Glenn asked engineers to “get the girl” — Johnson — to run the same numbers through the same equations that had been programmed into the computer, but by hand, on her desktop mechanical calculating machine. “If she says they’re good,” Katherine Johnson remembered the astronaut saying, “then I’m ready to go.”
1.What can we learn about Katherine Johnson’s life experience?
A. Her parents attached great importance to her education.
B. She was the only Black student to enter West Virginia University in 1939.
C. She took the lead of the West Area Computing section.
D. She joined the NACA organization after NASA had been established.
2.Why does the writer quote (引用) John Glenn’s words in the last paragraph?
A. To explain Johnson’s hand calculation (计算) was tough.
B. To highlight John Glenn was a strict mission leader.
C. To prove Johnson’s hand calculations were reliable.
D. To illustrate the computer’s data was not trustworthy.
3.Which of the following can best describe Katherine Johnson?
A. Modest and sociable.
B. Talented and hardworking.
C. Stubborn and ambitious.
D. Considerate and cooperative.
4.What is the best title for the text?
A. Katherine Johnson: A Lifetime of Educational Pursuits
B. The Story of a “Computer”: Katherine Johnson’s Early Life at NASA
C. Katherine Johnson: A Pioneering Force in Space Exploration
D. Mathematics: The Key to John Glenn’s Historic Space Flight

主题语境02 人与自然-自然生态
(25-26高二上·安徽六安毛坦厂中学·期中)Diego Cardenosa has loved sharks ever since he was a child. The Colombia native was never afraid of them when he visited his beloved beach. Instead, he was fascinated with how sharks moved through water using their fins (鳍). It’s no surprise that he became a marine (海洋的) biologist.
Concern grew as Cardenosa learned about the serious state of sharks worldwide. The International Union for the Conservation of Nature reports a shocking rise in the extinction threat to shark species, now affecting 35%, up nearly 50% in a decade. Overfishing stands as the main cause, driven by demand for shark meat and fins.
“They are being killed at a rate that cannot survive in the future,” said Cardenosa. “As soon as I realized they were going through a conservation crisis, I wanted to help what I love the most.”
Scientists worry the sharks’ dropping numbers could bring ecological disaster as they play a number of key roles in the ocean. Unlike many fish, sharks take a long time to reproduce. Fisheries kill about 100 million sharks a year, according to the non-profit Save Our Seas.
Many sharks end up as bycatch when long lines and net s unintentionally catch them. Today, Cardeñosa fights against the illegal shark trade as a Distinguished Postdoctoral Scholar at Florida International University. His innovation — a portable DNA kit like a small red box — plays a key role in identifying shark species and their origins in major ports globally. This breakthrough has greatly improved law enforcement (实施) efforts in ports like Hong Kong, where the amount of seized shark fins has risen from five to a hundred tons annually since the kit’s introduction.
Cardeñosa’s efforts extend beyond sharks, aiding authorities in stopping trafficking of other endangered species like European eels and South America’s matamata turtles. His commitment earned him recognition from international criminal police organization.
1.What led to Diego Cardeñosa’s profession?
A. His great interest in sharks.
B. His surprise at sharks’ value.
C. His concern for shark extinction.
D. His childhood love for oceans.
2.What is the main reason for shark species being threatened to extinction?
A. Climate change.
B. City construction.
C. Natural disasters.
D. Business fishing.
3.What could happen if sharks continue to decrease in numbers?
A. There will be fewer attacks on tourists.
B. More fish species might become endangered.
C. Marine ecological balance could be destroyed.
D. Fishing industries would face less competition.
4.What is the function of Diego’s DNA kit?
A. It reduces shark fin sales.
B. It aids in species identification.
C. It changes law enforcement.
D. It meets demand for shark products.
【答案】1. A 2. D 3. C 4. B
