专题03 阅读理解（记叙文+新闻报道） 主题语境01 人与自我-生活与学习 （25-26高三上·江苏前黄中学·期中）During my early years, I focused on eye-catching landscape photography. I spent time in the Himalayas, Patagonia and Tasmania and returned with pictures of breathtaking beauty which I thought were “awesome”. But a one-month camping trip to the Menindee lakes along Darling-Baaka in Australia shifted my perspective; Photography is more than taking photos. As I became increasingly familiar with the place, I learned that human activities led to widespread deforestation and drought in the area, resulting in many dead trees. Driving across the region, I recalled that Sydney was blanketed by smoke for months on end as bushfires swept through the east coast. Fortunately, the La Niña weather cycle reached Australia, increasing rainfall and causing the continent’s short-lived rivers to spring back to life. Yet, the image of bushfires stayed with me, and I felt driven to do something. That was when the photo Blaze came into being. I spoke to the local authority, explaining that I hoped to create a “burning” tree as a beacon (灯塔) to draw people’s attention to deforestation. They showed great interest because fire is an integral part of the Australian farming and the natives. I connected a few of the gas canisters (罐) generally used for barbecues to flexible gas lines called “slinkies”, which could be wired up the back of the tree, away from the tree and out of sight of the public. These produced an outline of flames when I lit them, as if the tree were on fire. It was lit for 15 seconds while I got the shot, and fire-fighting equipment was prepared. Even though the tree was dead, it was still a vital habitat. But the gas flames did no damage and the insects that lived inside were unharmed. I love that when people look at the photo, they can concretize the delicacy of our natural world while appreciating Blaze. 1.What is the author’s new perception of photography? A. It involves professional skills. B. It should carry deep meanings. C. It requires high-end equipment. D. It should produce beautiful pictures. 2.What inspired the author to create Blaze? A. Local environmental changes. B. Traditional Australian farming. C. Scenery of the Menindee lakes. D. Support from the local authority. 3.Which of the following images best illustrates the photo Blaze? A. B. C. D. 4.What is the photo Blaze intended to be? A. A means of enhancing artistic taste. B. A strategy to beautify the landscape. C. A call to raise public awareness. D. A window to showcase local culture. 【答案】1. B　2. A　3. D　4. C 【解析】【导语】 本文为一篇记叙文。讲述了作者原本专注于风景摄影，在澳大利亚Menindee lakes的经历让其意识到摄影应有更深含义，当地环境变化促使作者创作了照片Blaze，以引起人们对森林砍伐的关注。 (1)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第一段“But a one-month camping trip to the Menindee lakes along Darling-Baaka in Australia shifted my perspective; Photography is more than taking photos.(但一次在澳大利亚达令-巴阿克地区梅尼德里湖的为期一个月的露营之旅改变了我的看法；摄影不仅仅是拍摄照片)”可知，作者新的认知是摄影应具有深刻含义，故选B。 (2)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第二段“As I became increasingly familiar with the place, I learned that human activities led to widespread deforestation and drought in the area, resulting in many dead trees. Driving across the region, I recalled that Sydney was blanketed by smoke for months on end as bushfires swept through the east coast.(随着我对这个地方的了解越来越深入，我了解到人类活动导致了该地区大面积的森林砍伐和干旱，致使许多树木死亡。驾车穿越这片区域时，我回想起悉尼曾连续数月被浓烟笼罩，因为丛林大火席卷了东海岸)”和“Yet, the image of bushfires stayed with me, and I felt driven to do something. That was when the photo Blaze came into being.(然而，森林大火的画面一直萦绕在我的脑海里，我觉得有必要做点什么。就在那时，Blaze应运而生)”可知，促使作者创作Blaze这部作品的原因是当地环境的变化。故选A。 (3)题解析： 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“I connected a few of the gas canisters (罐) generally used for barbecues to flexible gas lines called “slinkies”, which could be wired up the back of the tree, away from the tree and out of sight of the public. These produced an outline of flames when I lit them, as if the tree were on fire.(我将一些通常用于烧烤的气罐连接到了被称为“滑线”的柔性输气管上。这些滑线可以沿着树的背面铺设，远离树木并隐藏在公众视线之外。当我点燃它们时，会产生火焰的轮廓，仿佛这棵树真的着火了)”可知，照片Blaze呈现的是一棵树被火焰轮廓包围，看起来仿佛树着火了的画面，故选D。 (4)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第三段“I spoke to the local authority, explaining that I hoped to create a “burning” tree as a beacon (灯塔) to draw people’s attention to deforestation.(我与当地政府部门进行了沟通，说明了我的想法，即希望打造一棵“燃烧”的树，以此作为警示标志，引起人们对森林砍伐问题的关注)”可知，作者创作Blaze是为了唤起公众意识，故选C。 主题语境02 人与自然-环境 Passage 1 （25-26高三上·江苏淮阴中学·期中）Richard and Louise Arnold have become recycling champions, putting their wheelie bin (带轮垃圾桶) out for collection just once a year. Their success is all down to their skill at recycling. “We began our recycling journey by using natural soap with no packaging. People often worry that soap doesn’t last very long but these bars are big enough that we cut them in half and have one for the sink and the other half for the shower. It’s cost-effective and great for the environment,” said Louise. Encouraged by the positive results, they decided to make one new change each month. The following month, they ditched plastic water bottles in favor of reusable ones. Many assume that plastic bottles are properly recycled, but in reality, they just get downcycled into something else like carpets or fleeces and remain in the environment. Gradually, they continued to make more eco-friendly changes. Plastic food containers were replaced with beeswax wraps. Fabric bags were used for shopping trips, and baby Bodhi’s nappies reusable. When it comes to waste management, they have a well-organized system. They take recyclable waste to the rubbish tip, donate clothes to charity shops, return soft plastics to the supermarket or Co-op, and bring batteries to a shop that accepts them. In 2017 the couple established No Waste Living(NWL), which initially started as a stand at the local market at weekends and has now turned into a website. Louise regularly writes newsletters for hundreds of subscribers. They then sell a variety of eco-products. Louise started NWL with the intention of sharing their knowledge and leading by example. Some people may get annoyed about new waste rules because it means more work for them. However, Louise firmly believes that small steps can lead to a significant reduction in waste. By making these small changes, people can not only reduce their environmental impact but also create more space in their homes, save money, and spend less time dealing with bins. 1.How did the couple start their recycling journey? A. By using unpackaged natural soap. B. By cutting soap into smaller pieces. C. By replacing plastic bottles with reusable ones. D. By donating clothes to charity shops regularly. 2.What does the underlined word “ditched” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Collected. B. Abandoned. C. Reused. D. Recycled. 3.What is the main purpose of No Waste Living(NWL)? A. To sell eco-friendly products and grow a business. B. To create a platform for local market communication. C. To apply new waste management rules in communities. D. To share knowledge and inspire others through practice. 4.What does Louise believe about reducing waste? A. New rules should be strictly carried out. B. Eco-products are necessary for everyone. C. Small daily actions make a big difference. D. Waste management requires professional skills. 【答案】1. A　2. B　3. D　4. C 【解析】【导语】 这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了Richard和Louise Arnold夫妇通过一系列环保行动成为回收冠军，他们从使用无包装天然肥皂开始，逐步减少塑料使用，建立有效的废物管理系统，并创立了“无浪费生活”（NWL）项目，旨在分享知识并激励他人采取环保行动。 (1)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第二段“We began our recycling journey by using natural soap with no packaging.(我们开始回收之旅时使用的是无包装的天然肥皂。)”可知，这对夫妇是通过使用无包装的天然肥皂开始他们的回收之旅的。故选A。 (2)题解析： 词句猜测题。根据下文“in favor of reusable ones.(转而使用可重复使用的瓶子)”可知，他们放弃使用塑料水瓶，ditched意为“放弃、丢弃”。故选B。 (3)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第四段“Louise started NWL with the intention of sharing their knowledge and leading by example.(Louise创办NWL的目的是分享他们的知识并以身作则。)”可知，“无浪费生活”（NWL）的主要目的是通过实践分享知识并激励他人。故选D。 (4)题解析： 推理判断题。根据最后一段“However, Louise firmly believes that small steps can lead to a significant reduction in waste.(然而，Louise坚信，小步骤可以显著减少浪费。)”可知，Louise相信日常的小行动能产生大影响。故选C。 Passage 2 （25-26高三上·江苏无锡·期中）Kristina Smith was running the California International Marathon in 2019, grabbing cups of water to drink, when she started to think about how much waste such events produce. On the flight home, she did the math: 9,000 runners, 17 aid stations and something like 150,000 cups used once and thrown away. That sparked her idea for something more environmental — a lightweight cup that could be used again and again. After working out a design, Kristina ordered her first shipment and tested them at a race in 2021. As she was getting her business off the ground, Kristina emailed race directors to ask if their event used disposable (一次性的) cups. “The answer was always yes,” she said. Her response, “If you’re looking for a sustainable solution, I have one.” Now she rents out the cups by the thousand, driving them to events in big bags and leaving bins (箱子) with the company logo for collection after use. Kristina picks up the used cups and washes them in a specialized dishwasher. “It’s just a solution to a problem that has been around for a long time,” Kristina said. Nevertheless, one trade-off is that the cup rentals cost race directors more than other options. Disposable cups might run just a few cents each, while 10,000 reusable cups would rent for about 15 cents each. Gleeson, of Project Drawdown, sees the reusable cups as just one of many ways that innovators(创新者) are looking to cut down on plastic waste. Such solutions often have to be rooted in convenience and grounded in local applications to get more people to adopt them. Some cities, for instance, are experimenting with reusable food takeout containers that customers return to nearby drop-off spots later on. While no one solution can fully tackle the problem, “The potential is there,” Gleeson said. “I think in general, high adoption of these kinds of solutions is what is able to bring costs down and really maximize environmental benefits that you could get.” 1.What inspired Kristina to design reusable cups? A. The suggestion from marathon race directors. B. Her own experience in reducing plastic waste. C. High price paid by marathon runners for cups. D. The huge number of cups wasted in a marathon. 2.What is the main challenge of Kristina’s reusable cups? A. High rental cost. B. Poor user experience. C. Unsatisfying quality. D. Complex washing process. 3.What can we learn from the last two paragraphs? A. Reusable cups are sufficient to reduce plastic waste. B. Innovation should attach importance to reducing costs. C. Solutions should fit local use and be convenient for adopters. D. Cities have made great progress in reducing plastic waste. 4.What is the author’s purpose in writing this article? A. To describe the ways of producing reusable cups. B. To compare the costs of single-use and reusable cups. C. To criticize race events for causing environmental damage. D. To report a rental-cup plan for reducing plastic waste in races. 【答案】1. D　2. A　3. C　4. D 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇新闻报道，主要报道了Kristina Smith在参加马拉松比赛时看到大量一次性杯子被浪费，从而受到启发设计出可重复使用的杯子，同时介绍了该服务面临的挑战及相关领域减少塑料浪费的创新思路。 (1)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Kristina Smith was running the California International Marathon in 2019, grabbing cups of water to drink, when she started to think about how much waste such events produce. On the flight home, she did the math: 9,000 runners, 17 aid stations and something like 150,000 cups used once and thrown away. That sparked her idea for something more environmental — a lightweight cup that could be used again and again.(2019年，Kristina Smith参加加州国际马拉松比赛，在拿水喝的时候，她开始思考这类活动会产生多少垃圾。在回家的飞机上，她算了一笔账：9000名跑步者，17个援助站，大约15万只一次性杯子被使用后扔掉。这激发了她设计一种更环保的东西的想法——一种可以反复使用的轻便杯子。)”可知，马拉松比赛中大量杯子被浪费激发了Kristina设计可重复使用杯子的灵感。故选D。 (2)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Nevertheless, one trade-off is that the cup rentals cost race directors more than other options. Disposable cups might run just a few cents each, while 10,000 reusable cups would rent for about 15 cents each.(然而，一个权衡是，杯子的租金比其他选择要高。一次性杯子可能每个只要几美分，而10000个可重复使用的杯子每个租金约为15美分。)”可知，Kristina的可重复使用杯子的主要挑战是租金高。故选A。 (3)题解析： 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“Such solutions often have to be rooted in convenience and grounded in local applications to get more people to adopt them.(这样的解决方案通常必须以便利为根基，以本地应用为基础，才能让更多人采用。)”可知，减少塑料浪费的解决方案应该适合本地使用，并且对采用者来说方便。故选C。 (4)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“That sparked her idea for something more environmental — a lightweight cup that could be used again and again.(这激发了她设计一种更环保的东西的想法——一种可以反复使用的轻便杯子。)”以及第二段中的“Now she rents out the cups by the thousand, driving them to events in big bags and leaving bins (箱子) with the company logo for collection after use. Kristina picks up the used cups and washes them in a specialized dishwasher.(现在她以千为单位出租这些杯子，用大袋子把它们运到活动现场，并留下带有公司标志的箱子供使用后收集。Kristina拿起用过的杯子，在专门的洗碗机里清洗。)”并通读全文可知，文章主要报道了Kristina为减少比赛中的塑料垃圾而推出的租赁杯子计划。故选D。 主题语境01 人与社会-历史、社会与文化 （25-26高三上·江苏南通市区、通州区、启东市、如东县联考·期中）A year ago, Sushila Meena wouldn’t have even dreamt of playing with famous sports persons like Sachin Tendulkar. But sometimes dreams that come true are those you never knew you had. The 10-year-old cricketer (板球手) shot to fame when Tendulkar shared a video of her bowling (投球) action on social media, comparing her to bowler Zaheer Khan, who was the key player in India winning the 2011 ICC Cricket World Cup. But her story is much more than just an Instagram post. Sushila’s journey from a small village to national fame is a testament to her hard work. And it couldn’t have been possible without the support of her coach, Ishwarl Meena. Ishwarl Meena, a dedicated coach, began teaching cricket in June 2017 when the 2017 ICC Women’s World Cup was in full swing. He started training girls as a way to connect them with their school and to enable them to excel in women’s cricket — where competition is less fierce. “If they play cricket, they get connected to the school and come more often,” he explains. He recalls that Sushila joined his free training programme in the third grade. Initially, Sushila was focused on batting, like most other girls, but she soon took on bowling to broaden her skills. Under his guidance, Sushila has refined her technique, following the coach’s instruction that bowlers should spin (旋转) the ball. “Sushila’s bowling became good around 3 — 4 months ago. I remember last year I thought she wouldn’t be able to bowl, but now she has progressed remarkably,” he notes. Sushila comes from a humble background; her father works as a labourer while her mother is a housewife. In her village, due to poor local economic conditions, opportunities for youth are limited. Despite these challenges, Sushila remains committed to pursuing her passion for cricket. “I want to play for India one day,” she says with determination. Her dream is to break barriers and pave the way for other girls from rural areas to take up sports and become excellent. 1.What made Sushila famous nationwide? A. Her performance in a national competition. B. Her background from a poor small village. C. Her experience of defeating Zaheer Khan. D. Her cricket skill shown on social media. 2.What is the purpose of Coach Meena training girls in cricket? A. To focus on less competitive sports. B. To prepare for Women’s World Cup. C. To train the most talented students. D. To get girls more involved in school. 3.What do we know about Sushila’s bowling skills? A. She remains better at batting than bowling. B. She broke her barriers through practice. C. She made steady progress from last year. D. She showed talent at the very beginning. 4.Which words can best describe Sushila Meena? A. Determined and ambitious. B. Curious and courageous. C. Optimistic and intelligent. D. Humble and passionate. 【答案】1. D　2. D　3. C　4. A 【解析】【导语】 这是一篇记叙文。讲述了10岁农村女孩苏希拉因名人在社交媒体分享其板球投球视频成名，在教练帮助下，她克服出身困境，从最初专注击球到投球技能稳步提升，立志为印度队效力，为农村女孩开辟体育道路。 (1)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第二段“The 10-year-old cricketer (板球手) shot to fame when Tendulkar shared a video of her bowling (投球) action on social media, comparing her to bowler Zaheer Khan, who was the key player in India winning the 2011 ICC Cricket World Cup.(这位10岁的板球运动员一举成名，原因在于滕杜卡尔在社交媒体上分享了她的投球动作视频，并将其与投球手扎赫尔·汗作了比较。扎赫尔·汗是印度队在2011年国际板球理事会世界杯中获胜的关键球员)”可知，核心成名原因是“社交媒体上展示的板球技能”。故选D。 (2)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第三段“He started training girls as a way to connect them with their school and to enable them to excel in women’s cricket — where competition is less fierce. “If they play cricket, they get connected to the school and come more often,” he explains.(他开始对女生进行训练，目的是让她们与学校建立联系，并帮助她们在女子板球运动中取得优异成绩——因为女子板球的竞争相对不那么激烈。“如果她们参加板球比赛，就能与学校建立联系，也会更频繁地来学校了，”他解释道)”可知，核心目的是“让女孩更多参与学校生活”。故选D。 (3)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第四段“He recalls that Sushila joined his free training programme in the third grade.

Her dream is to break barriers and pave the way for other girls from rural areas to take up sports and become excellent.(“我有一天想要为印度队效力，”她坚定地说道。她的梦想是打破障碍，为来自农村地区的其他女孩开辟一条投身体育运动并成为优秀运动员的道路)”可知，苏希拉·梅纳坚定且有抱负。故选A。 主题语境02 人与社会-科学与技术 （25-26高三上·江苏泗阳致远中学·期中）In an oasis of green space sandwiched among Manhattan skyscrapers, one oddball stood out among the parkgoers Monday morning. It was a robot mower (割草机) named “Belawncé”. Looking like an oversize Roomba with heavy-duty wheels, it pilots itself with the help of an artificial intelligence camera system that resembles a pair of human eyes. After two to four hours of mowing, the robot navigates to a charging station. For the past few months, the electric robot mower has taken over grass-clipping duties on the main lawn of Bryant Park, a small but heavily used public park. Toshi Yano, director of the park, said in an interview that the robot mower has proved effective, safe and more environmentally friendly than gas-powered, human-operated mowers. Belawncé is a glimpse at the promise and the problems of using robots for tasks such as yard work. Bryant Park previously tried a couple of other robot mowers that were finicky. The prior robots would get stuck in certain parts of the park. To connect to satellites for navigation, at times the park needed one receiver on-site and another on a nearby office tower. Starting this spring, Bryant Park picked a model made by a company called Sunseeker. It has required less human intervention over time. Unlike its pop star namesake, Belawncé and its fellow robot mowers aren’t beloved by all. Nanci Fioravanti, landscape manager for Green-Wood, a popular green space in Brooklyn that uses two robot mowers, has had to reassure staff worried about job losses from automation. Fioravanti also said that the robot mowers aren’t suited to steep areas of Green-Wood or where tree cover makes them lose signal. Park officials made sure Belawncé navigated around or stopped for humans and wildlife. “Either the birds or the AI or some combination of both are doing what they’re supposed to do and avoiding one another,” Yano said. 1.What is a key feature of Belawncé? A. It is gas-powered. B. It looks human-like. C. It is uniquely shaped. D. It operates autonomously. 2.What does the underlined word “finicky” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Efficient. B. Demanding. C. Independent. D. Conventional. 3.What aspect concerning robot mowers was mentioned in paragraph 4? A. Their adaptability. B. Their limitations. C. Their environmental value. D. Their maintenance costs. 4.What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To promote the use of robot mowers. B. To call for a review of robot mowers. C. To report on the adoption of a robot mower. D. To present the development of a robot mower. 【答案】1. D　2. B　3. B　4. C 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇新闻报道。文章报道了布莱恩特公园引入的一款名为“Belawncé”的机器人割草机。 (1)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Looking like an oversize Roomba with heavy-duty wheels, it pilots itself with the help of an artificial intelligence camera system that resembles a pair of human eyes. After two to four hours of mowing, the robot navigates to a charging station. (它看起来像一个带有重型轮子的超大Roomba，在类似人眼的人工智能摄像系统的帮助下自行驾驶。割草两到四个小时后，机器人会自动导航到充电站。)”可知，Belawncé可以自行驾驶，即自主操作。故选D项。 (2)题解析： 词句猜测题。根据划线词所在句子和后文“Bryant Park previously tried a couple of other robot mowers that were finicky. The prior robots would get stuck in certain parts of the park. To connect to satellites for navigation, at times the park needed one receiver on-site and another on a nearby office tower. (布莱恩特公园之前尝试过其他几个机器人割草机，但它们都很finicky。先前的机器人会卡在公园的某些地方。为了连接卫星进行导航，有时公园需要现场有一个接收器，附近的办公楼上有另一个接收器)”可知，之前的机器人割草机存在诸多问题，需要复杂的设置和操作，由此可推知，划线词finicky意为“要求苛刻的”，与B项“Demanding”意思相近。故选B项。 (3)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Fioravanti also said that the robot mowers aren’t suited to steep areas of Green-Wood or where tree cover makes them lose signal. (Fioravanti还表示，机器人割草机不适合Green-Wood的陡峭区域，也不适合树木覆盖导致信号丢失的地方。)”可知，本段提及了机器人割草机的局限性。故选B项。 (4)题解析： 推理判断题。通读全文，结合第一段中“In an oasis of green space sandwiched among Manhattan skyscrapers, one oddball stood out among the parkgoers Monday morning. It was a robot mower (割草机) named “Belawncé”. (周一早上，在曼哈顿摩天大楼之间的绿色空间中，一个古怪的东西在公园游客中脱颖而出。那是一台名为“Belawncé”的机器人割草机。)”可知，文章主要报道了布莱恩特公园引入的一款名为“Belawncé”的机器人割草机，介绍了其特点、使用情况、优缺点以及人们对它的看法。由此可推知，作者写这篇文章的目的是报道一款机器人割草机的采用情况。故选C项。 主题语境03 人与自我-生活与学习 Passage 1 （25-26高三上·江苏泗阳致远中学·期中）The first time I went to Germany with my boyfriend, I was very young and hadn’t been to many places. As soon as we arrived, I had this incredible revelation.“I know all about this area. The food, the language. I know all about the Schwarzwald, the Black Forest,”I said to his German family.“How do you know about this?” they asked, in disbelief. That was the first time it dawned on me how much I knew about the rest of the world, and how prepared I was for it, just from growing up in New York City — that I had been everywhere before I’d ever actually gone anywhere. I grew up in the Chelsea Projects, 288 10th Avenue at 26th Street. A lot of kids there were first generation Americans with immigrant parents who were still speaking Yiddish or Chinese or Portuguese, or just name a language, and they were speaking it. You ate every imaginable food from the rest of the world there. You were exposed to all different kinds of traditions. It wasn’t just that. The whole city was a classroom. All over town, you learned stuff you didn’t even know you were learning. You didn’t have to be rich to learn it, either. My mom was a teacher — a great Head Start teacher — and she made sure I partook of everything New York had to offer people who didn’t have any money, because she knew it was the greatest education in the world. We went to all the museums, which were free back then. We’d ride the bus to Lincoln Center, before it was Lincoln Center, and watch dancers dancing there. Or we’d take the train to Coney Island. Those trips are among my fondest memories. New York City played a big part in making me who I am. It’s where I learned that I could pursue whatever I loved, but that I couldn’t be a slacker (偷懒的人). The city is everything you’ve heard it is. It’s crazy, it’s horrible, it’s magnificent, it’s beautiful. It’s a real live wire, hard to leave. 1.What contributed to the author’s knowledge of Germany? A. Her childhood experience. B. Her boyfriend’s descriptions. C. Her past travel adventures. D. Her previous school education. 2.What can we learn about the author’s neighborhood? A. It was a tourist hotspot for traditions. B. It was famous for its many restaurants. C. Kids there were born outside of America. D. Parents there spoke their mother tongues. 3.What did New York provide? A. Diverse learning opportunities. B. Quality education programs. C. Financial support for parents. D. Welfare benefits for the poor. 4.From which book is the text most likely taken? A. Into Unknown Skies. B. Never Can Say Goodbye. C. Mom is Always by My Side. D. Falling for the Hometown Girl. 【答案】1. A　2. D　3. A　4. B 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者在纽约的成长经历对其认知世界和塑造自我的影响。 (1)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第一段中“As soon as we arrived, I had this incredible revelation.“I know all about this area The food, the language.

A lot of kids there were first generation Americans with immigrant parents who were still speaking Yiddish or Chinese or Portuguese, or just name a language, and they were speaking it.(我从小在切尔西项目区长大的，地址是第十大道288号，位于26街。那里的很多孩子都是第一代美国人，他们的父母是移民，仍然说着意第绪语、中文或葡萄牙语，或者随便说一种语言，他们就在说这种语言)”可知，作者所在社区的父母们仍然说着他们的母语。故选D项。 (3)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第四段中“The whole city was a classroom. All over town, you learned stuff you didn’t even know you were learning. You didn’t have to be rich to learn it, either.(整座城市都是课堂。在街巷阡陌间，你不知不觉汲取着知识——而这些学问，从来都与财富无关)”和第五段“We went to all the museums, which were free back then. We’d ride the bus to Lincoln Center, before it was Lincoln Center, and watch dancers dancing there. Or we’d take the train to Coney Island. Those trips are among my fondest memories.(我们逛遍所有博物馆——那时它们还免费开放。我们乘公交去林肯中心，在它正式成名之前，看舞者们在广场翩跹起舞。也会搭地铁前往康尼岛，这些旅程至今仍是我最珍贵的记忆瑰宝)”可知，纽约提供了多样化的学习机会。故选A项。 (4)题解析： 推理判断题。通读全文，结合最后一段“New York City played a big part in making me who I am.

It’s a real live wire, hard to leave.(纽约这座城市塑造了如今的我。在这里我领悟到：可以追逐所爱，但绝不能苟且懈怠。这座城市集合了所有你听闻的特质——既疯狂又糟糕，既壮丽又美好。她是根永不停歇的带电导线，令人难以割舍)”可知，文章主要讲述了作者在纽约的成长经历对她认知世界和塑造自我的影响，表达了她对纽约的深厚感情和难以割舍的情怀，所以本文最有可能选自《Never Can Say Goodbye》一书。故选B项。 Passage 2 （25-26高三上·江苏南京中华中学·期中）I arrived home from work, my mind racing. I was scheduled to perform an experiment using a pricey piece of equipment, but I had spent the whole day worrying about the experiment which was on the top of my agenda, and I amazingly longed to shut off my anxious thoughts. So after dinner, I made a cup of hot chocolate, stretched myself on my sofa, and opened a page. Almost instantly, my mind left behind the details of experimental design and stepped into a land of monsters, magic dust, and man-like bears comprising a wonderful world distinct from my daily life. It was exactly what I needed. Growing up, I was virtually never a big fan of novels. My classmates would be crazy about the latest Harry Potter book, while my copy sat collecting dust on a shelf. Instead, I would choose to read through the reference books related to my disciplines for better grades. After I started graduate school, extracurricular reading didn’t appeal to me at all but I spent most of my time on campus digesting research papers and textbooks and my mind couldn’t handle processing fact-filled nonfiction books at home, too. So I knew that I needed to find a way to enjoy reading again. To help me stick with it, I made a New Year’s resolution: I would read two fiction books per month for the entire year. The result was an almost instant appreciation of fiction, along with many unexpected results including ones that have benefited my schoolwork. What surprised me the most was how much I learnt. Some of the best books I read were fictional stories of history happening in a realistic setting. I learned about life in different countries as well as struggles people there faced during difficult periods in their histories. The books have helped me build sympathy and understanding, with an unexpected benefit: I’ve started to think more deeply about the diversity of issues in the scientific community and could serve it, heart and soul. 1.What did the author do to wipe out the anxiety? A. He drowned it in chocolate. B. He conducted an experiment. C. He slept on the sofa leisurely. D. He escaped into a fantasy world. 2.What does the author mean by the underlined part in paragraph 2? A. He was too busy to take good care of his books. B. The latest Harry Potter book was popular among students. C. Reading novels was a waste of time. D. The Harry Potter book wasn’t as good as expected. 3.How did the New Year’s resolution benefit the author? A. More sympathy went out to him. B. His moral values were strengthened. C. He learned much about religious diversity. D. He gained new insight into his academic discipline. 4.What’s the best title of the text? A. Novels: Love at Second Sight. B. The Power of Research Papers. C. Reading: A Lifelong Hobby. D. The Benefits of History Reading. 【答案】1. D　2. C　3. D　4. A 【解析】【导语】 这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者原本对小说不感兴趣，但为了缓解焦虑，决定每月读两本小说，结果不仅重新爱上了小说，还意外地从中受益，对学术研究也有了新的认识。 (1)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第一段“So after dinner, I made a cup of hot chocolate, stretched myself on my sofa, and opened a page. Almost instantly, my mind left behind the details of experimental design and stepped into a land of monsters, magic dust, and man-like bears comprising a wonderful world distinct from my daily life.(所以晚饭后，我泡了一杯热巧克力，躺在沙发上，翻开一页。几乎立刻，我的思绪离开了实验设计的细节，进入了一个由怪物、魔法尘埃和像人一样的熊组成的奇妙世界，这个奇妙世界与我的日常生活截然不同。)”可知，作者通过进入一个幻想世界来消除焦虑。故选D项。 (2)题解析： 词义猜测题。分析可知，“while”此处意为“然而”，表对比含义，说明作者与上文“My classmates would be crazy about the latest Harry Potter book(我的同学们总是会对最新的《哈利·波特》系列书籍十分着迷。)”提及的“同学们喜欢小说”相反，自己不喜欢读小说，以致于自己的小说蒙了灰尘。且结合后文“Instead, I would choose to read through the reference books related to my disciplines for better grades.(相反，我会选择通读与我所学专业相关的参考书籍，以取得更好的成绩。)”可知，与其读小说，作者更愿意通读专业参考书籍，以取得好成绩。由此推知，作者自己不喜欢读小说，认为读小说无法帮助取得更好的成绩，无价值。因此可知，作者想要表达的意义在于读小说浪费时间。故选C项。 (3)题解析： 细节理解题。根据最后一段“The books have helped me build sympathy and understanding, with an unexpected benefit: I’ve started to think more deeply about the diversity of issues in the scientific community and could serve it, heart and soul.(这些书籍帮助我培养了同情心和理解力，而且还有一个意想不到的好处：我开始更深入地思考科学界各种复杂的问题，并愿意全心全意地为它服务。)”可知，新年决心（读小说）让他对自己的学术领域有了新见解。故选D项。 (4)题解析： 主旨大意题。文章主要讲述了作者原本对小说不感兴趣，但为了缓解焦虑，决定每月读两本小说，结果不仅重新爱上了小说，还意外地从中受益，对学术研究也有了新的认识，由此可知，本文最好的标题是选项A“Novels: Love at Second Sight(小说：再见钟情)”。故选A项。 主题语境04 人与自然-灾害防范 （25-26高三上·江苏如东高级中学·期中）Four days after Hurricane Ida made landfall, the New Orleans meteorologist(气象学家) Margaret Orr took a break after twelve hours on the air to reply to some of her fans on Twitter. Orr, who has been reporting the weather for forty-two years, is regarded by many residents as a prophet (预言家). Someone asked why the sun always shines before a storm. “And I said, to remind us that the sun will shine again. But I don’t want the sun emoji.” She used a heart instead. The real reason the sun shines before a storm? “Because you’ve often got high pressure right over you, and it’s hot,” she said. “The high moves off to the east and pushes the system our way.” Many of her workmates were sleeping at the station, but Orr preferred to go home, where she had running water but no electricity. She could handle not having air conditioner. The trick, she said. was to take a cold shower. Not having Internet, though, was a hardship. She said, “I couldn’t check my social media until I got to work, which was annoying.” In the days leading up to Ida (飓风艾达), people contacted Orr through Twitter to get individualized, practical advice. Orr tried to respond to everyone. This dedication earned her great respect from the residents. Orr has always been fascinated by weather. In 1965, when she was twelve years old, the wind from Hurricane Betsy blew the roof off her family’s house in New Orleans. She remembers going outside and standing in the eye of the storm. “I looked up and saw the sky and saw the stars,” she said. “Bad weather happens everywhere,” she said. “Every now and then, on Twitter, you’ll see people saying, why do you live there? Well, I live here because it’s my home. This is where I grew up. This is the place I love.” She went on, “After Hurricane Katrina, I thought, could I live anywhere else? And I decided, no, I couldn’t.” She added, “As my daughter said about New Orleans when she was a little girl, ‘I even love the dirt.’” 1.Orr’s explanation about sunshine before a storm can be described as ______. A. poetic but abstract B. scientific but tricky C. strange and inaccurate D. encouraging and professional 2.Why did Orr find the lack of Internet at home a “hardship”? A. She couldn’t access weather data for forecasts. B. She needed online resources for air conditioning. C. She was unable to respond to people’s questions. D. She missed watching news about the hurricane. 3.What childhood experience sparked Orr’s fascination with weather? A. Seeing the stars in the eye of Hurricane Betsy. B. Reading books about hurricanes at school. C. Watching weather reports on television. D. Helping neighbors rebuild after Hurricane Betsy. 4.What message does the author want to convey in the last paragraph? A. Natural disasters are a common threat all over the world. B. People online don’t understand her deep love for her home. C. Emotional attachment is what ties people to their hometown. D. She decided to stay mainly because of her daughter’s opinion. 【答案】1. D　2.

As the inventor of the vital “Feynman Diagrams”, he took half-made conceptions (构想) of matter and energy in the 1940s and shaped them into simple tools that ordinary physicists could understand and calculate with very great precision. The Feynman method of thought was developed by a man who refused conventional wisdom at all turns and who sought to build his mental computer from the ground up, starting with an understanding of mathematics at a very young age. This was how Feynman approached all knowledge: It resulted in his famous quote, “You must not fool yourself, and you are the easiest person to fool”. Feynman believed it and practiced it in all of his intellectual work. Richard Feynman was a legend, but his scientific genius alone would not have made the legend. It was also his style. He was intensely curious and highly original in all things. There are hundreds of “Feynman stories”, some told by Feynman himself in his popular book Surely You’re. Joking, Mr. Feynman!, and others passed along by word of mouth from one physicist to another. What we take from Feynman is an absolute pursuit of rationality (合理) and truth. Feynman would rather admit that he didn’t know something than believe in false knowledge. He declared: “I have limited intelligence and I use it in a particular direction.” With this “limited intelligence”, he shared the Nobel Prize in Physics with Julian Schwinger and Sin-Itiro Tomonaga in 1965 for their work on quantum electrodynamics. He was apparently very reluctant (勉强) to accept the prize and was eager to remind people that just because someone held a position of authority, this was no indicator that he must be correct. As Feynman’s father taught him the scientific method, it was his mother whom he thanked for the other part of his personality that made him such an amazing character. “I learned from her that the highest forms of understanding we can achieve are laughter and human compassion.” 1.What made Richard Feynman stand out in the field of physics? A. Inventing the Feynman Diagrams. B. Offering ordinary physicists funds. C. Getting supported by Michael Jordan. D. Taking advantage of conventional wisdom. 2.What kind of person was Richard Feynman according to the passage? A. A serious and humorless researcher. B. A truth-seeking and original scientist. C. A sensitive and self-centered physicist. D. A competitive and inflexible academic. 3.What influence did Richard Feynman’s mother have on him? A. She developed his scientific curiosity. B. She shared with him scientific methods. C. She pushed him for the academic honors. D. She shaped his good character and quality. 4.What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To explain Feynman’s quantum theory. B. To promote Feynman’s published works. C. To show Feynman’s life and contributions. D. To introduce Feynman’s physics education. 【答案】1. A　2. B　3. D　4. C 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇人物传记，主要介绍了著名物理学家理查德·费曼（Richard Feynman）的生平成就与个人特质。 (1)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“As the inventor of the vital “Feynman Diagrams”, he took half-made conceptions (构想) of matter and energy in the 1940s and shaped them into simple tools that ordinary physicists could understand and calculate with very great precision.(作为关键的“费曼图”的发明者，他在20世纪40年代将关于物质和能量的初步构想，转化为普通物理学家能够理解并高精度计算的简单工具。)”可知，费曼在物理学领域脱颖而出的核心原因是发明了“费曼图”。故选A项。 (2)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“The Feynman method of thought was developed by a man who refused conventional wisdom at all turns and who sought to build his mental computer from the ground up, starting with an understanding of mathematics at a very young age.(费曼思维法由这样一位智者所创：他始终摒弃传统思维定式，执意从零构建自己的思维体系 —— 自幼便从数学认知起步，一步步搭建起专属的 “心智运算框架”)”、第三段中的“He was intensely curious and highly original in all things.(他对一切事物都充满好奇心，且极具独创性)”以及第四段中的“What we take from Feynman is an absolute pursuit of rationality (合理) and truth. Feynman would rather admit that he didn’t know something than believe in false knowledge.(我们从费曼身上学到的，是对理性与真理的极致追求。费曼宁愿承认自己对某件事一无所知，也不愿轻信虚假的知识)”可知，费曼是一位追求真理、极具独创性的科学家。故选B项。 (3)题解析： 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“As Feynman’s father taught him the scientific method, it was his mother whom he thanked for the other part of his personality that made him such an amazing character. “I learned from her that the highest forms of understanding we can achieve are laughter and human compassion.(费曼的父亲教会了他科学方法，而他性格中另一半让他成为如此了不起的特质，则要归功于母亲。“我从她那里学到，我们所能达到的最高层次的理解，是欢笑与人类的同情心”)”可知，费曼的母亲影响了他的性格与品质。故选D项。 (4)题解析： 推理判断题。通读全文，文章第一段介绍费曼的核心科学成就（发明费曼图），第二段阐述其思维方式，第三段强调其个人风格与传奇性，第四段讲述他对真理的追求与诺贝尔奖荣誉，最后一段提及父母对他的影响。所以短文的目的是展示费曼的生平经历与贡献。故选C项。 主题语境02 人与自我-做人与做事 （25-26高三上·江苏南京·期中）Last summer, I volunteered at a small woodworking studio in the old part of our city. It was there that I met Mr. Chen, a 58-year-old master craftsman whose hands told stories of decades working with wood. While his workshop was filled with traditional tools, what he created was anything but conventional wooden furniture that perfectly blended classic craftsmanship with contemporary design. What struck me most was Mr. Chen’s unique perspective on what he called “new-era craftsmanship.” Though he learned woodworking from his father as a teenager, he never confined himself to old methods. Recognizing the changing preferences of younger customers, he spent evenings teaching himself 3D modeling software and weekends researching sustainable materials like bamboo composites and water-based finishes. I witnessed his innovative approach firsthand when a young couple asked for a custom bookshelf for their small apartment. They needed something space-efficient, eco-friendly, and easy to tear apart for potential moves. Mr. Chen embraced the challenge enthusiastically. Over the next week, he created multiple digital prototypes, experimented with three different types of wood, and reinvented traditional techniques to create interlocking joints that required no metal fasteners. I often found him working late, his experienced hands carefully testing each component. When I asked why he invested such extraordinary effort into what seemed like a simple project, he paused from his work and smiled. “True craftsmanship isn’t about blindly repeating what our ancestors did,” he explained. “It’s about understanding the essence of tradition while having the courage to adapt it for today’s world.” To illustrate his point, he showed me two bookshelves — one he made twenty years ago, beautiful in its solid construction, and the new prototype, which used thirty percent less material while being equally steady and more functional for modern living. Through Mr. Chen’s example, I came to understand that new-era craftsmanship represents the perfect marriage of dedication and innovation. It honors the past while embracing the future, proving that excellence comes not from doing one thing forever, but from doing it well with an ever-evolving spirit. 1.Traditional tools are mentioned in Paragraph1 to _______. A. stress Mr. Chen’s source of inspiration B. highlight the wisdom of past generations C. promote the spirit of traditional craftsmanship D. contrast with Mr.Chen’s modern and creative ideas 2.Why does the author list specific requests from the young couple? A. To display the shift of traditional craftsmanship. B. To reveal the challenges facing today’s craftsmen. C. To imply the need for craftsmen to go with the times. D. To distinguish modern approaches from traditional ones. 3.What does “true craftsmanship” mean in Mr. Chen’s viewpoint? A. Creating resource-efficient products. B. Persisting through testing and effort. C. Adapting traditional wisdom for modern use. D. Combining digital and traditional techniques. 4.What does Mr. Chen’s story show? A. The best of both worlds. B. Two sides of a coin. C. If it isn’t broken, don’t fix it. D. What is new is not always better. 【答案】1. D　2. C　3. C　4.

The three of us kids came home from school, and there she was, barely a year old, wrapped in our mother’s arms. It wasn’t unusual to come home to strangers in the house. Our parents hosted an emergency safe house for children taken in by social services. The kids would stay with us anywhere from a week to a few months. Usually, we were a short-term stop before they returned to their biological parents or got adopted. Jane stayed with us for two and a half years. No other child stayed that long or developed such a strong emotional bond with us. When a childless couple adopted her, they promised we would stay in her life. They would treat us like extended relatives, inviting us over for holidays. We trusted them. When she left, Jane screamed for days. She woke in the night, crying for my father. The adoptive parents called us and said this was too hard. And it got worse every time we visited. A few months into the adoption, we ate a tense dinner together. Jane cried through the meal, then through the goodbyes. And why shouldn’t she? Her family was walking out of the front door, getting into the car, and leaving without her. After that, the parents stopped answering our calls. They turned cold and distant. Then, one day, they sent us an email, saying that Jane needed a clean break. No more visits. No reminders of her past life. It couldn’t have been an easy decision. These parents were trying to protect her from the pain and confusion of the change. But years of attachment don’t just disappear, no matter how old you are. Losing Jane forever changed the way I think about family. It’s led me to believe that kinship (亲属关系) isn’t just about claiming each other, or ‘belonging’ to each other. It’s a web of both visible and invisible care. It’s a tapestry (绣帷) made by people who lean in, love, and let go. The old cliché (老话) says you don’t choose your family. When folks use it, they’re usually talking about biological kin. But when you’re a child, it’s true whether or not you’ re talking about blood relatives. 1.What was the special role of the author’s parents? A. They worked as full-time social workers. B. They provided long-term adoption services. C. They offered a temporary home for children. D. They organized community volunteer events. 2.Why was the dinner described as “tense” in paragraph 6? A. Jane’s behavior made both sides uncomfortable. B. Jane’s bad mood destroyed her appetite for food. C. The adoptive parents regretted having adopted Jane. D. The author’s family refused to take Jane back. 3.How did the adoptive parents behave eventually? A. They kept the promises they had initially made. B. They cut off contact and erased the girl’s past. C. They frequently invited the author’s family over. D. They maintained a strong connection with her past. 4.What does the author conclude about family? A. It is easily replaced by new ties. B. It is strengthened by frequent visits. C. It is defined by blood and legal ownership. D. It is a lasting bond even beyond separation. 【答案】1. C　2. A　3. B　4.

They turned cold and distant. Then, one day, they sent us an email, saying that Jane needed a clean break. No more visits. No reminders of her past life.(从那以后，这对父母就不再接我们的电话了。他们变得冷漠疏远。然后有一天，他们给我们发了一封邮件，说简需要彻底的分手。不再有拜访。不再提起她过去的生活)”可知，养父母最终切断了联系，试图抹去女孩的过去。故选B项。 (4)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第八段“But years of attachment don’t just disappear, no matter how old you are.(但无论你多大年纪，多年的感情不会凭空消失)”和第九段“It’ s a web of both visible and invisible care. It’s a tapestry (绣帷) made by people who lean in, love, and let go.(它是一张由可见和不可见的关爱编织而成的网。它是一幅由那些倾心投入、付出爱并学会放手的人织成的绣帷)”可推知，作者认为亲情是即使分离也能存续的持久纽带。故选D项。 / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 专题03 阅读理解（记叙文+新闻报道） 主题语境01 人与自我-生活与学习 （25-26高三上·江苏前黄中学·期中）During my early years, I focused on eye-catching landscape photography. I spent time in the Himalayas, Patagonia and Tasmania and returned with pictures of breathtaking beauty which I thought were “awesome”. But a one-month camping trip to the Menindee lakes along Darling-Baaka in Australia shifted my perspective; Photography is more than taking photos. As I became increasingly familiar with the place, I learned that human activities led to widespread deforestation and drought in the area, resulting in many dead trees. Driving across the region, I recalled that Sydney was blanketed by smoke for months on end as bushfires swept through the east coast. Fortunately, the La Niña weather cycle reached Australia, increasing rainfall and causing the continent’s short-lived rivers to spring back to life. Yet, the image of bushfires stayed with me, and I felt driven to do something. That was when the photo Blaze came into being. I spoke to the local authority, explaining that I hoped to create a “burning” tree as a beacon (灯塔) to draw people’s attention to deforestation. They showed great interest because fire is an integral part of the Australian farming and the natives. I connected a few of the gas canisters (罐) generally used for barbecues to flexible gas lines called “slinkies”, which could be wired up the back of the tree, away from the tree and out of sight of the public. These produced an outline of flames when I lit them, as if the tree were on fire. It was lit for 15 seconds while I got the shot, and fire-fighting equipment was prepared. Even though the tree was dead, it was still a vital habitat. But the gas flames did no damage and the insects that lived inside were unharmed. I love that when people look at the photo, they can concretize the delicacy of our natural world while appreciating Blaze. 1.What is the author’s new perception of photography? A. It involves professional skills. B. It should carry deep meanings. C. It requires high-end equipment. D. It should produce beautiful pictures. 2.What inspired the author to create Blaze? A. Local environmental changes. B. Traditional Australian farming. C. Scenery of the Menindee lakes. D. Support from the local authority. 3.Which of the following images best illustrates the photo Blaze? A. B. C. D. 4.What is the photo Blaze intended to be? A. A means of enhancing artistic taste. B. A strategy to beautify the landscape. C. A call to raise public awareness. D. A window to showcase local culture. 主题语境02 人与自然-环境 Passage 1 （25-26高三上·江苏淮阴中学·期中）Richard and Louise Arnold have become recycling champions, putting their wheelie bin (带轮垃圾桶) out for collection just once a year. Their success is all down to their skill at recycling. “We began our recycling journey by using natural soap with no packaging. People often worry that soap doesn’t last very long but these bars are big enough that we cut them in half and have one for the sink and the other half for the shower. It’s cost-effective and great for the environment,” said Louise. Encouraged by the positive results, they decided to make one new change each month. The following month, they ditched plastic water bottles in favor of reusable ones. Many assume that plastic bottles are properly recycled, but in reality, they just get downcycled into something else like carpets or fleeces and remain in the environment. Gradually, they continued to make more eco-friendly changes. Plastic food containers were replaced with beeswax wraps. Fabric bags were used for shopping trips, and baby Bodhi’s nappies reusable. When it comes to waste management, they have a well-organized system. They take recyclable waste to the rubbish tip, donate clothes to charity shops, return soft plastics to the supermarket or Co-op, and bring batteries to a shop that accepts them. In 2017 the couple established No Waste Living(NWL), which initially started as a stand at the local market at weekends and has now turned into a website. Louise regularly writes newsletters for hundreds of subscribers. They then sell a variety of eco-products. Louise started NWL with the intention of sharing their knowledge and leading by example. Some people may get annoyed about new waste rules because it means more work for them. However, Louise firmly believes that small steps can lead to a significant reduction in waste. By making these small changes, people can not only reduce their environmental impact but also create more space in their homes, save money, and spend less time dealing with bins. 1.How did the couple start their recycling journey? A. By using unpackaged natural soap. B. By cutting soap into smaller pieces. C. By replacing plastic bottles with reusable ones. D. By donating clothes to charity shops regularly. 2.What does the underlined word “ditched” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Collected. B. Abandoned. C. Reused. D. Recycled. 3.What is the main purpose of No Waste Living(NWL)? A. To sell eco-friendly products and grow a business. B. To create a platform for local market communication. C. To apply new waste management rules in communities. D. To share knowledge and inspire others through practice. 4.What does Louise believe about reducing waste? A. New rules should be strictly carried out. B. Eco-products are necessary for everyone. C. Small daily actions make a big difference. D. Waste management requires professional skills. Passage 2 （25-26高三上·江苏无锡·期中）Kristina Smith was running the California International Marathon in 2019, grabbing cups of water to drink, when she started to think about how much waste such events produce. On the flight home, she did the math: 9,000 runners, 17 aid stations and something like 150,000 cups used once and thrown away. That sparked her idea for something more environmental — a lightweight cup that could be used again and again. After working out a design, Kristina ordered her first shipment and tested them at a race in 2021. As she was getting her business off the ground, Kristina emailed race directors to ask if their event used disposable (一次性的) cups. “The answer was always yes,” she said. Her response, “If you’re looking for a sustainable solution, I have one.” Now she rents out the cups by the thousand, driving them to events in big bags and leaving bins (箱子) with the company logo for collection after use. Kristina picks up the used cups and washes them in a specialized dishwasher. “It’s just a solution to a problem that has been around for a long time,” Kristina said. Nevertheless, one trade-off is that the cup rentals cost race directors more than other options. Disposable cups might run just a few cents each, while 10,000 reusable cups would rent for about 15 cents each. Gleeson, of Project Drawdown, sees the reusable cups as just one of many ways that innovators(创新者) are looking to cut down on plastic waste. Such solutions often have to be rooted in convenience and grounded in local applications to get more people to adopt them. Some cities, for instance, are experimenting with reusable food takeout containers that customers return to nearby drop-off spots later on. While no one solution can fully tackle the problem, “The potential is there,” Gleeson said. “I think in general, high adoption of these kinds of solutions is what is able to bring costs down and really maximize environmental benefits that you could get.” 1.What inspired Kristina to design reusable cups? A. The suggestion from marathon race directors. B. Her own experience in reducing plastic waste. C. High price paid by marathon runners for cups. D. The huge number of cups wasted in a marathon. 2.What is the main challenge of Kristina’s reusable cups? A. High rental cost. B. Poor user experience. C. Unsatisfying quality. D. Complex washing process. 3.What can we learn from the last two paragraphs? A. Reusable cups are sufficient to reduce plastic waste. B. Innovation should attach importance to reducing costs. C. Solutions should fit local use and be convenient for adopters. D. Cities have made great progress in reducing plastic waste. 4.What is the author’s purpose in writing this article? A. To describe the ways of producing reusable cups. B. To compare the costs of single-use and reusable cups. C. To criticize race events for causing environmental damage. D. To report a rental-cup plan for reducing plastic waste in races. 主题语境01 人与社会-历史、社会与文化 （25-26高三上·江苏南通市区、通州区、启东市、如东县联考·期中）A year ago, Sushila Meena wouldn’t have even dreamt of playing with famous sports persons like Sachin Tendulkar. But sometimes dreams that come true are those you never knew you had. The 10-year-old cricketer (板球手) shot to fame when Tendulkar shared a video of her bowling (投球) action on social media, comparing her to bowler Zaheer Khan, who was the key player in India winning the 2011 ICC Cricket World Cup. But her story is much more than just an Instagram post. Sushila’s journey from a small village to national fame is a testament to her hard work. And it couldn’t have been possible without the support of her coach, Ishwarl Meena. Ishwarl Meena, a dedicated coach, began teaching cricket in June 2017 when the 2017 ICC Women’s World Cup was in full swing. He started training girls as a way to connect them with their school and to enable them to excel in women’s cricket — where competition is less fierce. “If they play cricket, they get connected to the school and come more often,” he explains. He recalls that Sushila joined his free training programme in the third grade. Initially, Sushila was focused on batting, like most other girls, but she soon took on bowling to broaden her skills. Under his guidance, Sushila has refined her technique, following the coach’s instruction that bowlers should spin (旋转) the ball. “Sushila’s bowling became good around 3 — 4 months ago. I remember last year I thought she wouldn’t be able to bowl, but now she has progressed remarkably,” he notes. Sushila comes from a humble background; her father works as a labourer while her mother is a housewife. In her village, due to poor local economic conditions, opportunities for youth are limited. Despite these challenges, Sushila remains committed to pursuing her passion for cricket. “I want to play for India one day,” she says with determination. Her dream is to break barriers and pave the way for other girls from rural areas to take up sports and become excellent. 1.What made Sushila famous nationwide? A. Her performance in a national competition. B. Her background from a poor small village. C. Her experience of defeating Zaheer Khan. D. Her cricket skill shown on social media. 2.What is the purpose of Coach Meena training girls in cricket? A. To focus on less competitive sports. B. To prepare for Women’s World Cup. C. To train the most talented students. D. To get girls more involved in school. 3.What do we know about Sushila’s bowling skills? A. She remains better at batting than bowling. B. She broke her barriers through practice. C. She made steady progress from last year. D. She showed talent at the very beginning. 4.Which words can best describe Sushila Meena? A. Determined and ambitious. B. Curious and courageous. C. Optimistic and intelligent. D. Humble and passionate. 主题语境02 人与社会-科学与技术 （25-26高三上·江苏泗阳致远中学·期中）In an oasis of green space sandwiched among Manhattan skyscrapers, one oddball stood out among the parkgoers Monday morning. It was a robot mower (割草机) named “Belawncé”. Looking like an oversize Roomba with heavy-duty wheels, it pilots itself with the help of an artificial intelligence camera system that resembles a pair of human eyes. After two to four hours of mowing, the robot navigates to a charging station. For the past few months, the electric robot mower has taken over grass-clipping duties on the main lawn of Bryant Park, a small but heavily used public park. Toshi Yano, director of the park, said in an interview that the robot mower has proved effective, safe and more environmentally friendly than gas-powered, human-operated mowers. Belawncé is a glimpse at the promise and the problems of using robots for tasks such as yard work. Bryant Park previously tried a couple of other robot mowers that were finicky. The prior robots would get stuck in certain parts of the park. To connect to satellites for navigation, at times the park needed one receiver on-site and another on a nearby office tower. Starting this spring, Bryant Park picked a model made by a company called Sunseeker. It has required less human intervention over time. Unlike its pop star namesake, Belawncé and its fellow robot mowers aren’t beloved by all. Nanci Fioravanti, landscape manager for Green-Wood, a popular green space in Brooklyn that uses two robot mowers, has had to reassure staff worried about job losses from automation. Fioravanti also said that the robot mowers aren’t suited to steep areas of Green-Wood or where tree cover makes them lose signal. Park officials made sure Belawncé navigated around or stopped for humans and wildlife. “Either the birds or the AI or some combination of both are doing what they’re supposed to do and avoiding one another,” Yano said. 1.What is a key feature of Belawncé? A. It is gas-powered. B. It looks human-like. C. It is uniquely shaped. D. It operates autonomously. 2.What does the underlined word “finicky” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Efficient. B. Demanding. C. Independent. D. Conventional. 3.What aspect concerning robot mowers was mentioned in paragraph 4? A. Their adaptability. B. Their limitations. C. Their environmental value. D. Their maintenance costs. 4.What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To promote the use of robot mowers. B. To call for a review of robot mowers. C. To report on the adoption of a robot mower. D. To present the development of a robot mower. 主题语境03 人与自我-生活与学习 Passage 1 （25-26高三上·江苏泗阳致远中学·期中）The first time I went to Germany with my boyfriend, I was very young and hadn’t been to many places. As soon as we arrived, I had this incredible revelation.“I know all about this area. The food, the language. I know all about the Schwarzwald, the Black Forest,”I said to his German family.“How do you know about this?” they asked, in disbelief. That was the first time it dawned on me how much I knew about the rest of the world, and how prepared I was for it, just from growing up in New York City — that I had been everywhere before I’d ever actually gone anywhere. I grew up in the Chelsea Projects, 288 10th Avenue at 26th Street. A lot of kids there were first generation Americans with immigrant parents who were still speaking Yiddish or Chinese or Portuguese, or just name a language, and they were speaking it. You ate every imaginable food from the rest of the world there. You were exposed to all different kinds of traditions. It wasn’t just that. The whole city was a classroom. All over town, you learned stuff you didn’t even know you were learning. You didn’t have to be rich to learn it, either. My mom was a teacher — a great Head Start teacher — and she made sure I partook of everything New York had to offer people who didn’t have any money, because she knew it was the greatest education in the world. We went to all the museums, which were free back then. We’d ride the bus to Lincoln Center, before it was Lincoln Center, and watch dancers dancing there. Or we’d take the train to Coney Island. Those trips are among my fondest memories. New York City played a big part in making me who I am. It’s where I learned that I could pursue whatever I loved, but that I couldn’t be a slacker (偷懒的人). The city is everything you’ve heard it is. It’s crazy, it’s horrible, it’s magnificent, it’s beautiful. It’s a real live wire, hard to leave. 1.What contributed to the author’s knowledge of Germany? A. Her childhood experience. B. Her boyfriend’s descriptions. C. Her past travel adventures. D. Her previous school education. 2.What can we learn about the author’s neighborhood? A. It was a tourist hotspot for traditions. B. It was famous for its many restaurants. C. Kids there were born outside of America. D. Parents there spoke their mother tongues. 3.What did New York provide? A. Diverse learning opportunities. B. Quality education programs. C. Financial support for parents. D. Welfare benefits for the poor. 4.From which book is the text most likely taken? A. Into Unknown Skies. B. Never Can Say Goodbye. C. Mom is Always by My Side. D. Falling for the Hometown Girl. Passage 2 （25-26高三上·江苏南京中华中学·期中）I arrived home from work, my mind racing. I was scheduled to perform an experiment using a pricey piece of equipment, but I had spent the whole day worrying about the experiment which was on the top of my agenda, and I amazingly longed to shut off my anxious thoughts. So after dinner, I made a cup of hot chocolate, stretched myself on my sofa, and opened a page. Almost instantly, my mind left behind the details of experimental design and stepped into a land of monsters, magic dust, and man-like bears comprising a wonderful world distinct from my daily life. It was exactly what I needed. Growing up, I was virtually never a big fan of novels. My classmates would be crazy about the latest Harry Potter book, while my copy sat collecting dust on a shelf. Instead, I would choose to read through the reference books related to my disciplines for better grades. After I started graduate school, extracurricular reading didn’t appeal to me at all but I spent most of my time on campus digesting research papers and textbooks and my mind couldn’t handle processing fact-filled nonfiction books at home, too. So I knew that I needed to find a way to enjoy reading again. To help me stick with it, I made a New Year’s resolution: I would read two fiction books per month for the entire year. The result was an almost instant appreciation of fiction, along with many unexpected results including ones that have benefited my schoolwork. What surprised me the most was how much I learnt. Some of the best books I read were fictional stories of history happening in a realistic setting. I learned about life in different countries as well as struggles people there faced during difficult periods in their histories. The books have helped me build sympathy and understanding, with an unexpected benefit: I’ve started to think more deeply about the diversity of issues in the scientific community and could serve it, heart and soul. 1.What did the author do to wipe out the anxiety? A. He drowned it in chocolate. B. He conducted an experiment. C. He slept on the sofa leisurely. D. He escaped into a fantasy world. 2.What does the author mean by the underlined part in paragraph 2? A. He was too busy to take good care of his books. B. The latest Harry Potter book was popular among students. C. Reading novels was a waste of time. D. The Harry Potter book wasn’t as good as expected. 3.How did the New Year’s resolution benefit the author? A. More sympathy went out to him. B. His moral values were strengthened. C. He learned much about religious diversity. D. He gained new insight into his academic discipline. 4.What’s the best title of the text? A. Novels: Love at Second Sight. B. The Power of Research Papers. C. Reading: A Lifelong Hobby. D. The Benefits of History Reading. 主题语境04 人与自然-灾害防范 （25-26高三上·江苏如东高级中学·期中）Four days after Hurricane Ida made landfall, the New Orleans meteorologist(气象学家) Margaret Orr took a break after twelve hours on the air to reply to some of her fans on Twitter. Orr, who has been reporting the weather for forty-two years, is regarded by many residents as a prophet (预言家). Someone asked why the sun always shines before a storm. “And I said, to remind us that the sun will shine again. But I don’t want the sun emoji.” She used a heart instead. The real reason the sun shines before a storm? “Because you’ve often got high pressure right over you, and it’s hot,” she said. “The high moves off to the east and pushes the system our way.” Many of her workmates were sleeping at the station, but Orr preferred to go home, where she had running water but no electricity. She could handle not having air conditioner. The trick, she said. was to take a cold shower. Not having Internet, though, was a hardship. She said, “I couldn’t check my social media until I got to work, which was annoying.” In the days leading up to Ida (飓风艾达), people contacted Orr through Twitter to get individualized, practical advice. Orr tried to respond to everyone. This dedication earned her great respect from the residents. Orr has always been fascinated by weather. In 1965, when she was twelve years old, the wind from Hurricane Betsy blew the roof off her family’s house in New Orleans. She remembers going outside and standing in the eye of the storm. “I looked up and saw the sky and saw the stars,” she said. “Bad weather happens everywhere,” she said. “Every now and then, on Twitter, you’ll see people saying, why do you live there? Well, I live here because it’s my home. This is where I grew up. This is the place I love.” She went on, “After Hurricane Katrina, I thought, could I live anywhere else? And I decided, no, I couldn’t.” She added, “As my daughter said about New Orleans when she was a little girl, ‘I even love the dirt.’” 1.Orr’s explanation about sunshine before a storm can be described as ______. A. poetic but abstract B. scientific but tricky C. strange and inaccurate D. encouraging and professional 2.Why did Orr find the lack of Internet at home a “hardship”? A. She couldn’t access weather data for forecasts. B. She needed online resources for air conditioning. C. She was unable to respond to people’s questions. D. She missed watching news about the hurricane. 3.What childhood experience sparked Orr’s fascination with weather? A. Seeing the stars in the eye of Hurricane Betsy. B. Reading books about hurricanes at school. C. Watching weather reports on television. D. Helping neighbors rebuild after Hurricane Betsy. 4.What message does the author want to convey in the last paragraph? A. Natural disasters are a common threat all over the world. B. People online don’t understand her deep love for her home. C. Emotional attachment is what ties people to their hometown. D. She decided to stay mainly because of her daughter’s opinion. 主题语境01 人与社会-历史、社会与文化 （25-26高三上·江苏南通·期中）Richard Feynman was the Michael Jordan of physics. As the inventor of the vital “Feynman Diagrams”, he took half-made conceptions (构想) of matter and energy in the 1940s and shaped them into simple tools that ordinary physicists could understand and calculate with very great precision. The Feynman method of thought was developed by a man who refused conventional wisdom at all turns and who sought to build his mental computer from the ground up, starting with an understanding of mathematics at a very young age. This was how Feynman approached all knowledge: It resulted in his famous quote, “You must not fool yourself, and you are the easiest person to fool”. Feynman believed it and practiced it in all of his intellectual work. Richard Feynman was a legend, but his scientific genius alone would not have made the legend. It was also his style. He was intensely curious and highly original in all things. There are hundreds of “Feynman stories”, some told by Feynman himself in his popular book Surely You’re. Joking, Mr. Feynman!, and others passed along by word of mouth from one physicist to another. What we take from Feynman is an absolute pursuit of rationality (合理) and truth. Feynman would rather admit that he didn’t know something than believe in false knowledge. He declared: “I have limited intelligence and I use it in a particular direction.” With this “limited intelligence”, he shared the Nobel Prize in Physics with Julian Schwinger and Sin-Itiro Tomonaga in 1965 for their work on quantum electrodynamics. He was apparently very reluctant (勉强) to accept the prize and was eager to remind people that just because someone held a position of authority, this was no indicator that he must be correct. As Feynman’s father taught him the scientific method, it was his mother whom he thanked for the other part of his personality that made him such an amazing character. “I learned from her that the highest forms of understanding we can achieve are laughter and human compassion.” 1.What made Richard Feynman stand out in the field of physics? A. Inventing the Feynman Diagrams. B. Offering ordinary physicists funds. C. Getting supported by Michael Jordan. D. Taking advantage of conventional wisdom. 2.What kind of person was Richard Feynman according to the passage? A. A serious and humorless researcher. B. A truth-seeking and original scientist. C. A sensitive and self-centered physicist. D. A competitive and inflexible academic. 3.What influence did Richard Feynman’s mother have on him? A. She developed his scientific curiosity. B. She shared with him scientific methods. C. She pushed him for the academic honors. D. She shaped his good character and quality. 4.What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To explain Feynman’s quantum theory. B. To promote Feynman’s published works. C. To show Feynman’s life and contributions. D. To introduce Feynman’s physics education. 主题语境02 人与自我-做人与做事 （25-26高三上·江苏南京·期中）Last summer, I volunteered at a small woodworking studio in the old part of our city. It was there that I met Mr. Chen, a 58-year-old master craftsman whose hands told stories of decades working with wood. While his workshop was filled with traditional tools, what he created was anything but conventional wooden furniture that perfectly blended classic craftsmanship with contemporary design. What struck me most was Mr. Chen’s unique perspective on what he called “new-era craftsmanship.” Though he learned woodworking from his father as a teenager, he never confined himself to old methods. Recognizing the changing preferences of younger customers, he spent evenings teaching himself 3D modeling software and weekends researching sustainable materials like bamboo composites and water-based finishes. I witnessed his innovative approach firsthand when a young couple asked for a custom bookshelf for their small apartment. They needed something space-efficient, eco-friendly, and easy to tear apart for potential moves. Mr. Chen embraced the challenge enthusiastically. Over the next week, he created multiple digital prototypes, experimented with three different types of wood, and reinvented traditional techniques to create interlocking joints that required no metal fasteners. I often found him working late, his experienced hands carefully testing each component. When I asked why he invested such extraordinary effort into what seemed like a simple project, he paused from his work and smiled. “True craftsmanship isn’t about blindly repeating what our ancestors did,” he explained. “It’s about understanding the essence of tradition while having the courage to adapt it for today’s world.” To illustrate his point, he showed me two bookshelves — one he made twenty years ago, beautiful in its solid construction, and the new prototype, which used thirty percent less material while being equally steady and more functional for modern living. Through Mr. Chen’s example, I came to understand that new-era craftsmanship represents the perfect marriage of dedication and innovation. It honors the past while embracing the future, proving that excellence comes not from doing one thing forever, but from doing it well with an ever-evolving spirit. 1.Traditional tools are mentioned in Paragraph1 to _______. A. stress Mr. Chen’s source of inspiration B. highlight the wisdom of past generations C. promote the spirit of traditional craftsmanship D. contrast with Mr.Chen’s modern and creative ideas 2.Why does the author list specific requests from the young couple? A. To display the shift of traditional craftsmanship. B. To reveal the challenges facing today’s craftsmen. C. To imply the need for craftsmen to go with the times. D. To distinguish modern approaches from traditional ones. 3.What does “true craftsmanship” mean in Mr. Chen’s viewpoint? A. Creating resource-efficient products. B. Persisting through testing and effort. C. Adapting traditional wisdom for modern use. D. Combining digital and traditional techniques. 4.What does Mr. Chen’s story show? A. The best of both worlds. B. Two sides of a coin. C. If it isn’t broken, don’t fix it. D. What is new is not always better. 主题语境03 人与自我-生活与学习 （25-26高三上·江苏苏州·期中）I was eleven the first time I saw Jane. The three of us kids came home from school, and there she was, barely a year old, wrapped in our mother’s arms. It wasn’t unusual to come home to strangers in the house. Our parents hosted an emergency safe house for children taken in by social services. The kids would stay with us anywhere from a week to a few months. Usually, we were a short-term stop before they returned to their biological parents or got adopted. Jane stayed with us for two and a half years. No other child stayed that long or developed such a strong emotional bond with us. When a childless couple adopted her, they promised we would stay in her life. They would treat us like extended relatives, inviting us over for holidays. We trusted them. When she left, Jane screamed for days. She woke in the night, crying for my father. The adoptive parents called us and said this was too hard. And it got worse every time we visited. A few months into the adoption, we ate a tense dinner together. Jane cried through the meal, then through the goodbyes. And why shouldn’t she? Her family was walking out of the front door, getting into the car, and leaving without her. After that, the parents stopped answering our calls. They turned cold and distant. Then, one day, they sent us an email, saying that Jane needed a clean break. No more visits. No reminders of her past life. It couldn’t have been an easy decision. These parents were trying to protect her from the pain and confusion of the change. But years of attachment don’t just disappear, no matter how old you are. Losing Jane forever changed the way I think about family. It’s led me to believe that kinship (亲属关系) isn’t just about claiming each other, or ‘belonging’ to each other. It’s a web of both visible and invisible care. It’s a tapestry (绣帷) made by people who lean in, love, and let go. The old cliché (老话) says you don’t choose your family. When folks use it, they’re usually talking about biological kin. But when you’re a child, it’s true whether or not you’ re talking about blood relatives. 1.What was the special role of the author’s parents? A. They worked as full-time social workers. B. They provided long-term adoption services. C. They offered a temporary home for children. D. They organized community volunteer events. 2.Why was the dinner described as “tense” in paragraph 6? A. Jane’s behavior made both sides uncomfortable. B. Jane’s bad mood destroyed her appetite for food. C. The adoptive parents regretted having adopted Jane. D. The author’s family refused to take Jane back. 3.How did the adoptive parents behave eventually? A. They kept the promises they had initially made. B. They cut off contact and erased the girl’s past. C. They frequently invited the author’s family over. D. They maintained a strong connection with her past. 4.What does the author conclude about family? A. It is easily replaced by new ties. B. It is strengthened by frequent visits. C. It is defined by blood and legal ownership. D. It is a lasting bond even beyond separation. / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $学科网 www.zxxk.com 专题03阅读理解（记叙文 基础必练 主题语境01人与自我-生活与学习 【答案】1.B2.A3.D4.C 主题语境02人与自然-环境 Passage 1 【答案】1.A2.B3.D4.C Passage 2 【答案】1.D2.A3.C4.D 进阶提升 主题语境01人与社会-历史、社会与文化 【答案】1.D2.D3.C4.A 主题语境02人与社会-科学与技术 【答案】1.D2.B3.B4.C 主题语境03人与自我-生活与学习 Passage 1 【答案】1.A2.D3.A4.B Passage 2 【答案】1.D2.C3.D4.A 1/2 让教与学更高效 +新闻报道) 可学科网 www.zxxk com 让教与学更高效 主题语境04人与自然-灾害防范 【答案】1.D2.C3.A4.C 拓展培优 主题语境01人与社会-历史、社会与文化 【答案】1.A2.B3.D4.C 主题语境02人与自我-做人与做事 【答案】1.D2.C3.C4.A 主题语境03人与自我-生活与学习 【答案】1.C2.A3.B4.D 2/2
