专题03 阅读理解（记叙文） 主题语境01 人与社会-历史、社会与文化 （25-26高一上·湖北武汉东湖高新区·期中）A burn victim as a child, the Brazilian hurdler Alison dos Santos is thankful that track gave him a new life as a teen, when he was vulnerable and insecure. When a pot of hot oil tipped over onto 10-month-old Alison dos Santos, his grandfather’s quick actions saved his life. The permanent scars on his face, chest and arms are reminders of that day. Dos Santos said he often wondered, “Am I different?” His teenage years made things worse. Even his friends would sometimes make hurtful comments about his scars. “I had to go through some dark times, but I had to understand that I wouldn’t be myself if I didn’t have the burns,” he said. His track friends, however, saw him another way — not as the guy with scars, but as a nice person with a good sense of humor who could really run. That helped Dos Santos create a different kind of life. He now travels the world, winning medals in the highly competitive men’s 400-meter hurdles, where he rivals world-record holders and Olympic champions like Karsten Warholm and Rai Benjamin. Dos Santos believes the progress in their event was significantly inspired by Qatari hurdler Abderrahman Samba. When Samba broke 47 seconds in 2018, he changed the mentality: Everything is possible. “When you see Samba doing that, you think, I’ve got to train harder,” Dos Santos explained. Just as Samba inspired him, Dos Santos hopes his own story serves as an inspiration. He sees a connection between the hurdles on the track and the obstacles he overcame in life. “I’m able to share that everyone is unique, everyone is special in their own way,” he said. “You can achieve great things, no matter how hard things are in your life.” 1.Why was Dos Santos’s teenage years harder? A. He failed to win any track competitions. B. He was laughed at by his friends. C. He was often troubled by family economy. D. He couldn’t keep up with his friends. 2.What helped Dos Santos make achievements in sports? A. The recognition from his track friends. B. The attraction of his personality. C. The experience from traveling around. D. The encouragement from an Olympic champion. 3.What does the underlined word “mentality” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Progress. B. Effort. C. Method. D. Belief. 4.What does Dos Santos’ experience show? A. Knowledge is power. B. Practice makes perfect. C. Still waters run deep. D. Recognition makes a difference. 主题语境02 人与社会-社会服务与人际沟通 （25-26高一上·湖北襄阳第四中学·期中）Bike Batman is a 30-year-old married engineer who lives in Seattle, Washington. He’s a cyclist who also buys and sells bikes as a hobby. About three years ago, he was looking for a bike for his wife. He found one on Craigslist, a website where people list things they want to sell. As he often did, he also looked at Bike Index, a popular website that allows users to register their bikes and post reports when they’re taken. The bike, which he was considering purchasing, clearly matched one reported stolen on Bike Index. Then he called the person who claimed (声称) to be the bike’s owner and arranged to meet him — supposedly to complete the sale. When the two men met, Batman told the thief, “You’ve got two options. You can wait until a police officer gets here, or you can just get out of here.” You can imagine what the thief did. After that first success, Bike Batman developed a safer routine. When he sees questionable bike ads on Craigslist, he cross-references the image with bikes reported on Bike Index. Once he has checked and confirmed (确认) it with the owner, he arranges a meet-up with the thief and will call the Seattle police department so that officers can participate in the action. In more than half of the 22 cases in which he has got back and returned bikes, the thieves have been arrested (逮捕). In one case, Bike Batman even helped a family recover a wide range of prized possessions that suspects (嫌疑犯) had stolen during a home burglary (入室盗窃). His nickname came from a discussion with a police officer who suggested he be called “Robin Hood”. Since he wasn’t exactly stealing from the rich and giving to the poor, “Batman” seemed a better fit. The idea of a superhero punishing criminals (罪犯) feels pretty silly to him, but the main reason he continues his work is to keep up Seattle’s fame as a friendly city. 1.What will Bike Batman first do when discovering a questionable bike? A. He’ll contact the real bike owner. B. He’ll arrange to meet the thief. C. He’ll call the police department. D. He’ll look up the bike’s information. 2.What does the underlined word “cross-reference” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Compare. B. Post. C. Provide. D. Beautify. 3.Bike Batman helps find the lost bikes to __________. A. become famous B. help poor people C. punish bike thieves D. build a harmonious city 4.What can we learn from the passage? A. The police failed to perform their duties. B. He found it silly to see the thieves arrested. C. Bike Batman began his good actions by accident. D. The thieves were usually unwilling to return the bikes. 主题语境03 人与社会-科学与技术 （25-26高一上·湖北襄阳部分高中教联体·期中）From a simple family, Zaskia Zannuba was a bright Indonesian high school student. She made her country proud by winning a Silver Medal at the 2025 Japan Design, Idea & Invention Expo (JDIE) in Tokyo. The event was held on July 5–6 at Bellesalle Haneda Airport, bringing together over 366 creative teams from 25 countries. Leading a four - person team, Zaskia created SCAPE 2.5 — an energy-efficient portable air purifier (净化器) for PM2.5 pollution in semi-open spaces, like hallways and cafeterias.

Strangely, my first thought was to ask ChatGPT. This surprised me and made me wonder: What did I think of AI? Could it really help? Since ChatGPT appeared, teachers have different views. At first, I found it very useful. It offered me lesson ideas and saved me time. Students used it to understand difficult topics and get writing tips. But I noticed problems. One student couldn’t remember facts ChatGPT gave him. Another used it to make his writing look smarter, but lost his own style. Using AI for work meant students missed chances to improve their own ideas by revising. I told them: Use AI to help improve your writing, not to do it for you. I also started using pen and paper more for lesson planning. It was slower, but my ideas felt more real and truly mine. This reminded me that the process of thinking is often more important than just the final result. And as a result, I’d managed to think more clearly. In a world increasingly led by speed, I learned the best ideas often need time and focus. I’m not against AI, but I need to adjust (调节) its role in my life. My goal is to keep what’s important in teaching: curiosity, critical thinking, and solving problems without always taking shortcuts. I hope my students will, too. 1.What did the author do when seeing someone looking for a key on the bus? A. He reported it to the police. B. He joined in the search for it. C. He turned a blind eye to it. D. He turned to ChatGPT for help. 2.Why does the author mention his students in paragraph 3? A. To tell they are smart. B. To tell how AI helps them. C. To show the problems AI brings. D. To prove his teaching job successful. 3.What did the author think of planning his lessons by using pen and paper more? A. It wasted too much of his time. B. It was good for his thinking. C. It allowed him to get answers quickly. D. It led to losing good teaching methods. 4.What is the author’s attitude towards using AI? A. Careful. B. Hopeless. C. Unclear. D. Negative. 主题语境05 人与自我-生活与学习 （25-26高一上·湖北来凤县第一中学·期中）It was the first day of high school. I felt both excited and nervous. I walked into the classroom and looked for an empty seat. The room was filled with the talk of new students. I saw a boy sitting alone near the window. I decided to sit next to him. “Hi, my name is Tom,” I said. He looked up and smiled. “I’m Mike,” he replied. We started talking about our summer vacations and our new school. Mike seemed very friendly. Soon, we discovered that we both loved playing basketball. The teacher Ms. Li, came in and introduced herself. She gave us a warm welcome and then started the first lesson. It was an English lesson. She asked us to write a short paragraph about ourselves. I was a bit shy, but I tried my best. After we finished writing, Ms. Li asked some students to read their paragraphs aloud. To my surprise, she called my name. I stood up and started reading nervously. When I finished, Ms. Li smiled and said, “Well done, Tom.” At lunchtime, I sat with Mike in the dining hall. The food was better than I expected. We talked about our favorite subjects. Mike was into math, while history was my pick. We decided to help each other with our weak subjects.

Brunkow and Fred Ramsdell, and one Japanese scientist, Shimon Sakaguchi. They bagged this big honor because of their important findings which help scientists understand how our bodies keep the immune system (免疫系统) under control so it doesn’t attack healthy cells (细胞) by mistake. What’s interesting is that before winning the Nobel, none of these three were big names in the science world. Take Mary E. Brunkow, for example. When she made her key discovery, she was just an ordinary researcher. Her daily work was simple but focused: she spent hours digging into how to find disease-causing genes (基因) for treating illnesses, never thinking her work would one day get such a top prize. Fred Ramsdell, on the other hand, is a more outgoing and warm person. He loved his work so much that even tiny advances made him happy — like when he got just one set of promising data from an experiment, he’d take time to go out and celebrate, sharing his joy with colleagues (同事). Shimon Sakaguchi’s story is even more inspiring. He’s quiet on the outside, but very strong on the inside when it comes to his research. At first, almost no one in the mainstream science community believed in his work — some even called it “fake science”. But he never gave up. He was sure the answer he was looking for was real, so he kept focusing on his experiments, even when everyone around him doubted him. These three scientists’ stories tell us a simple but important truth: most big scientific discoveries don’t look impressive at first. But if you want to make something new in science, you need three things: the courage to face doubt, the patience to keep going even when you’re ignored or turned down for a long time and the determination to turn small, recognized work into something that changes the world. 1.What did the three Nobel Prize winners discover? A. Illness-causing genes. B. Results of immune disorder (紊乱). C. Immune control to stop self-attack. D. Treatments that correct immune errors. 2.What work style did Fred show? A. Treasuring teamwork B. Celebrating small progress C. Ignoring doubts from others D. Repeating important experiments 3.How is the text mainly developed? A. By giving examples B. By listing difficulties C. By making comparison D. By describing achievements 4.Which of the following is the best title of the text? A. The 2025 Nobel Prize Winners in Medicine B. Small Progresses, Big Discoveries C. Three Scientists: Stories Behind the Nobel Prize D. How to Succeed in Scientific Research Passage 2 （25-26高一上·湖北十堰八校教联体学校·期中）Sumi has a daughter named Anna who carries a nickname: “Number 23”. No matter what the exam subject or school term is, Anna always lands 23rd out of 50 students in her class. Sumi can’t help but feel worried. One day, Sumi went on a weekend trip with her friends and their families. During lunch, two boys got into a heated argument over a single candy. Even their parents couldn’t calm them down. Anna walked over calmly and said, “Let’s throw a coin. The winner gets the candy.” Simple as that, the fight ended. Later, on the way back, they got caught in a traffic jam. The kids grew bored and impatient. Anna stepped in. She told silly jokes like a caring big sister, making even the adults laugh. She also cut leftover candy boxes and turned them into cute paper animals and gave one to each kid as a gift. The other parents thanked her with bright smiles, and for the first time in years, Sumi felt proud of her daughter. Then one afternoon, Anna’s teacher called. “Anna’s grades are still around 23rd,” she said gently, “but we added a question to the last exam: ‘Who’s your favorite classmate, and why?’ Almost every student wrote Anna’s name. They say she’s kind, listens carefully when others talk, and always helps people in need. She’s a truly wonderful child.” Sumi’s eyes were filled with tears of joy.

One Saturday morning, my brother and I took our tennis rackets and balls to the school and took turns hitting our balls against the side of the two-story school building. We were hitting the ball higher and faster. Suddenly, the ball went right through one of the upstairs windows. We looked around and nobody was in sight except an old man sitting on a porch (门廊) halfway. “What should we do?” I asked. My brother answered, “No one will know whose ball it is. No one saw us, except that old man. He probably can’t see this far. Let’s go home.” We picked up the rest of our balls and headed home. “What happened?” Mom asked. “Well,” my brother slowly began, “we had a great time until we hit the ball too hard and too high and it went right through the school window.” My mother said loudly, “You’ll have to tell your father.” As soon as my father walked in the house, we hurried to him and told our story. He was composed and said, “Well, today is Saturday. On Monday, I’ll call the school janitor (看门人) and see what we need to do.” We had two days to wait until our dad got home from work on Monday. He smiled, saying, “Well, I talked to the school janitor. He told me that he’d been sitting on his porch watching when you two were playing tennis. He said many windows had been broken, but we were the first ones to call. He said the school allows for window repair, so we won’t have to pay for the window.” We discovered there’s always someone who sees what we do and we might as well admit (承认) our mistakes. 1.Why did the author and his brother leave the school?

Passage 4 （25-26高一上·湖北黄冈·期中）David Edgren and his family from the US have had a close connection with Taiyuan, a city in Shanxi province, China, for forty years. Their story is a beautiful example of how cultural exchanges can build lasting friendships. It all began in 1984 when David, then a 42-year-old educator, made a big decision. He announced to his three children that they would move to China, where he had a job teaching English at Shanxi University. This came as a great surprise to the family. At that time, it was very unusual for an American family to make such a move. The news even appeared in their local newspaper, which wrote about David leaving his job to teach in a Chinese city that few Americans knew. Life in Taiyuan presented challenges at first. “The weather was cold, and we sometimes had no power or water,” David recalled, “However, there were no difficulties as important as the kindness and warmth of the local people.” The family had only planned to stay for one year, but the experience left a deep mark on them. After returning to the US, David missed Taiyuan so much that he decided to go back. In 1989, with the support of all his children, he returned to Shanxi University to teach again with his wife. The Edgrens became true pioneers of people-to-people exchange. David has since visited China over 40 times. More importantly, he has helped more than 50 other Americans including students, teachers, and professionals, to travel, study and teach in China. His son Andy, who was a teenager when they first moved, recently revisited Taiyuan. He wore a T-shirt with Chinese characters that read, “I am a Shanxi person,” showing their deep personal connection to the place. The family’s long-lasting friendship with China continues to inspire those who hear their story. 1.Why did David Edgren’s decision surprise his family? A. Because the story was reported by a local newspaper. B. Because they did not want to leave their friends in the US. C. Because they thought China was too far away from home. D. Because it wasn’t a very common thing to do at that time. 2.What caused David Edgren to return to Taiyuan? A. An offer for a more important job there. B. The attraction of modern city life. C. His children’s need to finish their studies. D. His memory of the kind people there. 3.Which of the following best describes David Edgren? A. Brave and helpful. B. Kind and strict. C. Curious and funny. D. Humorous and positive. 4.What is the best title for this article? A. The Story of a Chinese City and Its Economic Growth. B. An American Family’s Long Connection with China. C.

Passage 5 （25-26高一上·湖北利川第一中学·期中）Jane Goodall is a name deeply connected with wildlife protection. Her groundbreaking work, which began in 1960 in Tanzania’s Gombe Stream National Park, completely changed scientists’ ideas about how smart animals are and what makes humans unique. Without a college degree at first, Goodall used great patience and an open mind to study chimpanzees (黑猩猩). She didn’t see them just as animals, but as individuals with their own personalities, feelings, and social lives. A key moment came when a chimpanzee she named David Greybeard allowed her to watch him closely. She saw him change a twig (小枝) by removing its leaves and use it to “fish” for termites (白蚁). This was an important discovery because, at that time, scientists believed only humans could make and use tools. This finding challenged the idea that humans were completely different from other animals. As the well-known anthropologist (人类学家) Louis Leakey said, it forced science to rethink the definition of “human.” Over time, Goodall formed close friendships with the chimpanzees, especially with a mother named Flo and her family. These strong personal connections allowed her to see into their world and deeply understand their family life and social behavior. Her unusual path — earning a PhD from Cambridge University without first getting a bachelor’s degree — showed her strong devotion. Knowing she needed to do more, she started the Jane Goodall Institute (JGI) in 1977. This organization leads global protection efforts and runs youth programs like “Roots & Shoots,” while also supporting women in science. Jane Goodall’s legacy (传承) goes far beyond her scientific discoveries. She showed the world that animals have complex emotions and intelligence, which helps people respect nature more. Even into her nineties, she continued to encourage people to protect wildlife and the environment around them. Through her life’s work, Goodall taught us that understanding and valuing other species is important for the health of our planet and for our own humanity. 1.Why is Jane Goodall’s work called “groundbreaking”? A. Changed views on animal intelligence. B. Proved all animals use tools. C. Created new research methods. D. Showed women can be scientists. 2.How did Goodall discover chimpanzees using tools? A. By reviewing existing theories. B. By doing experiments. C. By watching David Greybeard. D. By contacting local guides. 3.What does Goodall’s bond with Flo show? A. Long-term studies are effective. B. Tool usage requires long learning. C. A PhD degree ensures discovery. D. Emotional connection deepens research. 4.How does the text develop its main idea about Goodall? A. By comparing different research methods. B. By moving from discovery to influence. C. By listing life events in time order. D. By focusing on early African research 主题语境02 人与社会-社会服务与人际沟通 （25-26高一上·湖北楚天协作体·期中）When an earthquake struck a small town, many houses fell down and some people became homeless overnight. After the earthquake, all the newspapers reported many stories about some of the families who were in trouble. One Sunday, when I was reading a newspaper, some special pictures caught my eye and touched me deeply. They gave the detailed clothing sizes of each family member of those who suffered most from the earthquake and also what they were in desperate need of. I figured that this would be a good chance to teach my kids to help those who were less fortunate than themselves. Therefore, I said to my seven-year-old twins, Brad and Brett, and three-year-old Meghan, “We have so much, but these poor people now hardly have anything. Let’s do something for them. Well share what we have with them.” Then I took out a large box and filled it with large quantities of foods and also some clothes that we might not wear any longer. While I was doing this, I encouraged the boys to choose their toys and donate some of their less favorite things. Meghan watched quietly as the boys took out their old toys and games and put them together. Then she walked away. A few minutes later, she came back with Lucy, the doll she cherished most, who kept her company every night when she was sleeping. She placed the doll on top of the other toys. “Oh, dear,” I said. “You don’t have to give away Lucy. You love her so much.” Meghan said, Lucy makes me happy, Mommy. Maybe she’ll make another little girl happy as well.” I looked at Meghan for a long moment and it never occurred to me that she would be so kind to donate Lucy to others. It was then that I realized my daughter had taught me an important lesson. It’s easy to give up something that we don’t want any more, but harder to give what we love very much, isn’t it? 1.Why did the mother determine to help the families affected by the earthquake? A. Because she saw a news report on TV about the earthquake. B. Because she knew one of the families who lost their home. C. Because her sons and daughter asked her if they could help. D. Because she was touched by some pictures and information in a newspaper. 2.What did Meghan donate to the victims? A. Some of her old toys and games. B. Her favorite doll, Lucy. C. Some of her clothes and food. D. Her twin brothers’ less favorite things. 3.In Paragraph 4, the underlined word “cherished” can be best replaced by . A. left behind B. treasured C. gave up D. disliked 4.Which of the following is the best title for the story? A. The Importance of Donating B. A Terrible Earthquake C. The Importance of Sharing D. A Valuable Lesson from My Daughter 主题语境03 人与自我-生活与学习 Passage 1 （25-26高一上·湖北鄂东南联考·期中）My first day as a teacher, I was told I had a “sweet group of kids” by their fourth grade teachers, and after making it through that first day, I found this to be true. I quickly grew to love each child in my classroom. But in the following days, I found it hard to compete with the endless stream of fast-paced technology that filled their lives. It was a struggle to keep the students’ attention. As the year progressed, it came time to teach the American Revolution and I wondered how I would connect something that happened over 200 years earlier to the students’ lives. Another teacher suggested I try staging a revolution of my own, and so one Monday morning, the students arrived to find me in an elegant purple dress with long white gloves. I explained to the students that for a few weeks I would be “queen” of the classroom, and they would be my “colonists (殖民者).” I passed out five pennies to all the students each day and told them as long as they kept their pennies until the end of class, they would be rewarded. As the unit progressed, I began taxing (收税) a penny to go to the restroom or sharpen a pencil at other times than the given times. The tax reduced distractions (分心) because students didn’t want to give up their daily reward for a few minutes of playtime in the restroom. Then, my system took a sharp turn. At times, I would step aside from my queen act to give the “colonists” advice. “Think about what the early colonists did to solve their problems with the taxes. What can you do that might convince the queen to stop taxing you?” The unit took twists and turns (一波三折) that weren’t in my lesson plans, but I let the lessons unfold without concern over everything turning out a specific way. For the first time that year, I saw students pawing through their textbooks. One student even said, “This is cool. We are learning and having fun at the same time.” Through that unit, I realized that if the students could see how their input influenced the class, they would be engaged. 1.What did the teacher find difficult at the beginning of teaching? A. Loving each child in the classroom. B. Competing with other teachers in teaching skills. C. Connecting historical events to students’ lives. D. Keeping the students’ attention away from technology. 2.Why did the teacher dress up as a “queen” in class? A. To show her elegance to the students. B. To make students understand the history better. C. To get students to pay attention to her clothes. D. To celebrate the American Revolution. 3.What did the teacher do to reduce distractions during the “revolution” teaching? A. She taxed students for ungiven times. B. She asked students to study textbooks quietly. C. She allowed students to go to the restroom freely. D. She gave students extra pennies as rewards. 4.What did the teacher learn from this teaching experience? A. History lessons should be taught in a fun way. B. Students should be given more freedom in class. C. Students should be involved to attract their attention. D. Teachers should use more multimedia in teaching. Passage 2 （25-26高一上·湖北部分高中联考·期中）In casual conversations, government documents, and formal job interviews, there is a seemingly simple question I can never answer without hesitating: “Where are you from?” I could say I am from Japan—I was born there, after all. Or, should I say I am from the United States, whose culture, philosophy, and language are deeply rooted in my life? In my mind, none of these answers are satisfying enough. I gave in to this constant sense of sadness, until very recently. Inside my drawer is a simple, white bath towel that I have not used since I brought it from my parents’ house last summer. On an ordinary evening, I took it out to take a bath, but stopped after the soft, sweet, artificial smell of laundry detergent (洗涤剂) that my parents used back in Japan floated into my nose. I felt my eyes water as that random smell brought my mixed emotions to the surface: sadness, loneliness, and nostalgia. It’s silly, but I still avoid using that towel to this day because I don’t want to replace the smell of nostalgia with my Tide detergent. A similar thing happened when I was walking through a supermarket. Somehow being in the vegetable section, with the smells of raw vegetables and some unidentifiable spices, brought up the broad strokes of a memory from when I lived in California. That smell took me back to an open market my father always loved to go to. Anytime I come across that “vegetable smell,” I can blurrily (模糊地) picture the green plastic crates with onions, savory spices, and people’s voices. I don’t know the name of that market, where it was, or if it even exists now, but I can remember that it always brought a sense of comfort. Though, I still struggle when answering where I am from, in random moments, when a smell hits me with the memories it brings, I like to believe the things I feel then are things people feel when they are home. Myself, my “home,” are still split, but I am lucky enough to feel like I am “at home” in these brief moments. 1.What is the main challenge the author faces when asked “Where are you from?” A. She has never lived in a single country. B. She feels conflicted about her cultural identity. C. She dislikes talking about her background. D. She doesn’t understand the question. 2.What does the underlined word “nostalgia” mean in the third paragraph? A. Depression. B. Homesickness. C. Embarrassment. D. Thrill. 3.The “vegetable smell” in the supermarket reminds the author of ____________. A. her current cooking habits B. a specific market from her past in California C. her desire to become a chef D. the differences between Japanese and American markets 4.In the last paragraph, the author suggests that “home” is______________. A. a fixed geographical location B. a connection to birthplace C. an emotional experience that can occur briefly D. something that can only be found in one’s native country 主题语境01 人与社会-历史、社会与文化 （25-26高一上·湖北襄阳第一中学·期中）My family have collected bottles from sunrise to sunset all year long. My mother leaves at dawn to collect cans, and when she returns 12 hours later, I help her pull the shopping cart to the recycling center through the streets of Bushwick. I have kept it a secret all the time. I couldn’t bear the idea of my friends knowing our family live off other people’s garbage. I felt guilty for being embarrassed, but I couldn’t help it. I was not ready to trust someone else. Then I took a college essay course, which required me to write an essay about what had the greatest impact on my personal growth. I chose to write about the impact my neighborhood had on me. At the end, there was just one sentence about can collecting. One day after class, my teacher asked me to discuss my essay draft. “Your story has potential; however, it is not about personal growth. Would you tell me about the can collecting?” So I was faced with sharing my secret. But he was my teacher and I trusted him so I rewrote the essay. Two days later I found out we were expected to read our essays out loud after lunch, but I felt ashamed that my peers would know. As I headed down to the cafeteria, I met up with a friend, Mason, who I always have lunch with. I was less talkative, and Mason found that I had something on my mind. I told him I was embarrassed about my family’s story. “You should be proud that your family are struggling to take care of their loved ones.” This was what I needed to hear and I felt like I could finally breathe after all those years of hiding a part of myself. When we got back to class, I felt ready to read my draft out loud. After my classmates listened to my story, they said things like: “Each of our stories is unique to our experience and shapes us.” “Your being ashamed only hurts you.” “Accept your home and community, because they are your true family.” Now, when people ask me what my parents do for a living, I tell them, not with embarrassment or shame but with pride, that my parents are can collectors. 1.Why did the author mention can collecting very briefly in his essay? A. To highlight his family story. B. To hide his lasting secret. C. To make his essay persuasive. D. To summarize his experience. 2.What advice did Mason give to the author? A. Try hard to survive the poverty (贫穷) B. Show greater love for his family. C. Form the habit of talking more. D. Treasure his family’s struggles. 3.What caused the author to change his attitude towards his family secret? A. Mason’s encouraging words. B. Taking a college essay course. C. Reading the essay aloud in class. D. His teacher’s guidance on the essay. 4.How did the classmates respond after listening to the author’s story? A. They gave some criticism. B. They showed great pity. C. They expressed thanks. D. They offered persuasion. 主题语境02 人与社会-文学、艺术与体育 （25-26高一上·湖北部分省级示范高中·期中）Most of us travel with our parents as children and teenagers. For some of us, during the travel, our parents are our inspiration. These trips are normally full of rental cars, beaches, and hamburgers. My family would go to Galiano island every summer, and we did a week in Mexico in 1995, and then we did two different trips to Anaheim to experience the magic of Disney. Universal, and Knott’s Berry Farm. But all of these are childhood experiences and memories. I didn’t really truly travel with my parents until I was an adult when I got the chance to travel with mom and dad. I was in New Zealand for a study abroad, and invited my parents to come down for a 2-week road trip around the North Island and then 10 days in Fiji. Why not? They said, as if this was something they were invited to do every day. I didn’t really plan anything, but my mom had done some reading and I knew some highlights after living in New Zealand for 5 months. I had booked a hotel for their first night in Auckland. The only other preparation I had done was to book a rental car. My parents immediately reached an agreement that I should be the driver, for the whole two weeks. The main reason for this, understandably, was that neither of them had ever been in a country where you drive on the left-hand side of the road and on the right-hand side of the car. This led to me driving my parents around the entire North Island of New Zealand for 2 weeks! But still, everybody had jobs. Dad had the maps, and mom had the guidebook, and I just took them where they told me to go. Sometimes, I was asked who I was traveling with. When I said “my parents”, the response was, “Ohhh, older people.” In fact, I have some tips on travelling with parents happily. 1.Which does the underlined word “inspiration” in Paragraph. 1 mean? A. Cooks. B. Guides. C. Drivers. D. Translators. 2.Why did the parents let the writer drive the car in New Zealand? A. They were not used to the driving rules. B. They were afraid of the mountain roads. C. They were too old to drive for a long time. D. They were busy reading the maps and guidebook. 3.What is the best title for the passage? A. Drive on the Way. B. Travel with Parents. C. Enjoy New Zealand. D. Remember the Childhood 4.What will the writer share next? A. The holidays with parents. B. The memory in Fiji as a child. C. The scene during the road trip. D. The advice on outing with parents. 主题语境03 人与社会-社会服务与人际沟通 （25-26高一上·湖北黄石·期中）Every morning at 6 a.m., Markus Hofimueller’s hands are already covered in flour as he mixes dough (生面团) for the bakery’s daily specials. The 22-year-old baker never imagined he would take over the management of a bakery from his fellow German friends. Bach’s Bakery, located in Changsha, is popular among the locals for hiring bakers with hearing disabilities. What truly makes Markus special is his unusual approach to training. Last summer, he reached out to the local vocational school to invite deaf students to join his team. Every Tuesday afternoon, four students sit behind the counter while Markus teaches them how to shape croissants(羊角面包) and decorate cakes with sign language. “Working side by side with these young learners reminds me why I became a baker,” he smiles. “I’m happiest when I see them grow in the job, ” he says. “They accumulate more skills and knowledge and keep improving, which I value the most. ” When asked about his future plans, Markus pauses thoughtfully. “I can’t predict if baking will be my lifelong career, but right now I know this is where I’m meant to be.” His eyes light up as he describes watching customers smile over their first bite of perfectly timed creme brulée (焦糖布丁). “There’s something magical about turning simple ingredients into moments of joy,” he explains. This idea shapes everything he does. “My heart tells me baking isn’t just a job — it’s a responsibility to create happiness.” He hopes one day to open his own training center where experienced bakers can teach newcomers, not just the hearing-impaired, adding he wants to continue training more carefully and professionally. From uncertain beginnings to purposeful creation, he trusts that following his passion has led him to the right place. He also wants to work with vocational schools so his employees can learn bakery skills with other students. “No matter what I do, I feel a strong sense of destiny (使命感). I trust my heart,” he says. 1.Why is Markus’s bakery so popular among locals in Changsha? A. He is a German. B. He sells daily specials. C. He hires hearing-disabled bakers. D.

Her journey to give up the smartphone began shortly after graduating from college, when she started posting pictures of her art online and got hundreds of thousands of followers. “Everything that I shared online — about my love life or my vacations or my house — all these pictures and words were feeding into my business so they would result in sales,” Lamm said. Finally, she said, the pressure to keep that up became too much, and she reached a breaking point. At first, Lamm tried to put her phone in a drawer and didn’t look at it for a whole day, which she said “was very inconvenient to everyone in my life”. It took her about a year to quit her smartphone and fully devote herself to the dumbphone lifestyle, which offers only basic calling and texting. Still, there are certain things that may feel impossible to navigate without smartphones, since they are more than just texting and surfing social media. In 2025, these smartphones function as virtual wallets, health trackers, identification tools, and even personal assistants. However, Lamm has found solutions to the challenges. “You work out these problems by asking,” Lamm said, “like asking the parking company if they can give you another choice when you can’t use parking meter (计时器), and a lot of the time they will”. When it comes to her career, Lamm says she earns more money now than she ever did as an influencer online. That’s because now she only does the actual work, rather than spending hours and hours crafting posts. “When I stopped posting, I found out income sources that existed before social media: agencies, magazines, galleries, publishers,” she said. “If I hadn’t spent thousands of hours trying to build a following, I could have spent that time going to galleries, taking classes, meeting people, making connections, organizing events, submitting to exhibitions and otherwise making a name for myself in the real world. I could have improved more quickly if I had not arranged online visibility above creative development.” 1.What made August Lamm decide to give up the smartphone? A. The sense of duty to help her followers. B. Her addiction to the smartphone. C. Her pressure from the busy college life. D. The anxiety from social networking. 2.Why does the author mention the situations in 2025 in paragraph 3? A. To explain people can live well without smartphones. B. To stress the difficulty of solutions to phone addiction. C. To give the fact that people are often distracted by phones. D. To state the close connection between man and smartphones. 3.How can we best describe August Lamm according to the text? A. Strict and hard-working. B. Determined and adaptable. C. Fashionable and knowledgeable. D. Generous and kind-hearted. 4.What message does August Lamm want to express in the last paragraph? A. Social media do more harm than good. B. Dumbphones are making a comeback. C. One can be less dependent on social media. D. Use smartphones only when necessary. / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 专题03 阅读理解（记叙文） 主题语境01 人与社会-历史、社会与文化 【答案】1. B　2. A　3. D　4.

When a pot of hot oil tipped over onto 10-month-old Alison dos Santos, his grandfather’s quick actions saved his life. The permanent scars on his face, chest and arms are reminders of that day. Dos Santos said he often wondered, “Am I different?” His teenage years made things worse. Even his friends would sometimes make hurtful comments about his scars. “I had to go through some dark times, but I had to understand that I wouldn’t be myself if I didn’t have the burns,” he said. His track friends, however, saw him another way — not as the guy with scars, but as a nice person with a good sense of humor who could really run. That helped Dos Santos create a different kind of life. He now travels the world, winning medals in the highly competitive men’s 400-meter hurdles, where he rivals world-record holders and Olympic champions like Karsten Warholm and Rai Benjamin. Dos Santos believes the progress in their event was significantly inspired by Qatari hurdler Abderrahman Samba. When Samba broke 47 seconds in 2018, he changed the mentality: Everything is possible. “When you see Samba doing that, you think, I’ve got to train harder,” Dos Santos explained. Just as Samba inspired him, Dos Santos hopes his own story serves as an inspiration. He sees a connection between the hurdles on the track and the obstacles he overcame in life. “I’m able to share that everyone is unique, everyone is special in their own way,” he said. “You can achieve great things, no matter how hard things are in your life.” 1.Why was Dos Santos’s teenage years harder? A. He failed to win any track competitions. B. He was laughed at by his friends. C. He was often troubled by family economy. D. He couldn’t keep up with his friends. 2.What helped Dos Santos make achievements in sports? A. The recognition from his track friends. B. The attraction of his personality. C. The experience from traveling around. D. The encouragement from an Olympic champion. 3.What does the underlined word “mentality” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Progress. B. Effort. C. Method. D. Belief. 4.What does Dos Santos’ experience show? A. Knowledge is power. B. Practice makes perfect. C. Still waters run deep. D. Recognition makes a difference. 【答案】1. B　2. A　3. D　4.

He’s a cyclist who also buys and sells bikes as a hobby. About three years ago, he was looking for a bike for his wife. He found one on Craigslist, a website where people list things they want to sell. As he often did, he also looked at Bike Index, a popular website that allows users to register their bikes and post reports when they’re taken. The bike, which he was considering purchasing, clearly matched one reported stolen on Bike Index. Then he called the person who claimed (声称) to be the bike’s owner and arranged to meet him — supposedly to complete the sale. When the two men met, Batman told the thief, “You’ve got two options. You can wait until a police officer gets here, or you can just get out of here.” You can imagine what the thief did. After that first success, Bike Batman developed a safer routine. When he sees questionable bike ads on Craigslist, he cross-references the image with bikes reported on Bike Index. Once he has checked and confirmed (确认) it with the owner, he arranges a meet-up with the thief and will call the Seattle police department so that officers can participate in the action. In more than half of the 22 cases in which he has got back and returned bikes, the thieves have been arrested (逮捕). In one case, Bike Batman even helped a family recover a wide range of prized possessions that suspects (嫌疑犯) had stolen during a home burglary (入室盗窃). His nickname came from a discussion with a police officer who suggested he be called “Robin Hood”. Since he wasn’t exactly stealing from the rich and giving to the poor, “Batman” seemed a better fit. The idea of a superhero punishing criminals (罪犯) feels pretty silly to him, but the main reason he continues his work is to keep up Seattle’s fame as a friendly city. 1.What will Bike Batman first do when discovering a questionable bike? A. He’ll contact the real bike owner. B. He’ll arrange to meet the thief. C. He’ll call the police department. D. He’ll look up the bike’s information. 2.What does the underlined word “cross-reference” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Compare. B. Post. C. Provide. D. Beautify. 3.Bike Batman helps find the lost bikes to __________. A. become famous B. help poor people C. punish bike thieves D. build a harmonious city 4.What can we learn from the passage? A. The police failed to perform their duties. B. He found it silly to see the thieves arrested. C. Bike Batman began his good actions by accident. D. The thieves were usually unwilling to return the bikes. 【答案】1. D　2. A　3. D　4.

Strangely, my first thought was to ask ChatGPT. This surprised me and made me wonder: What did I think of AI? Could it really help? Since ChatGPT appeared, teachers have different views. At first, I found it very useful. It offered me lesson ideas and saved me time. Students used it to understand difficult topics and get writing tips. But I noticed problems. One student couldn’t remember facts ChatGPT gave him. Another used it to make his writing look smarter, but lost his own style. Using AI for work meant students missed chances to improve their own ideas by revising. I told them: Use AI to help improve your writing, not to do it for you. I also started using pen and paper more for lesson planning. It was slower, but my ideas felt more real and truly mine. This reminded me that the process of thinking is often more important than just the final result. And as a result, I’d managed to think more clearly. In a world increasingly led by speed, I learned the best ideas often need time and focus. I’m not against AI, but I need to adjust (调节) its role in my life. My goal is to keep what’s important in teaching: curiosity, critical thinking, and solving problems without always taking shortcuts. I hope my students will, too. 1.What did the author do when seeing someone looking for a key on the bus? A. He reported it to the police. B. He joined in the search for it. C. He turned a blind eye to it. D. He turned to ChatGPT for help. 2.Why does the author mention his students in paragraph 3? A. To tell they are smart. B. To tell how AI helps them. C.

Brunkow and Fred Ramsdell, and one Japanese scientist, Shimon Sakaguchi. They bagged this big honor because of their important findings which help scientists understand how our bodies keep the immune system (免疫系统) under control so it doesn’t attack healthy cells (细胞) by mistake. What’s interesting is that before winning the Nobel, none of these three were big names in the science world. Take Mary E. Brunkow, for example. When she made her key discovery, she was just an ordinary researcher. Her daily work was simple but focused: she spent hours digging into how to find disease-causing genes (基因) for treating illnesses, never thinking her work would one day get such a top prize. Fred Ramsdell, on the other hand, is a more outgoing and warm person. He loved his work so much that even tiny advances made him happy — like when he got just one set of promising data from an experiment, he’d take time to go out and celebrate, sharing his joy with colleagues (同事). Shimon Sakaguchi’s story is even more inspiring. He’s quiet on the outside, but very strong on the inside when it comes to his research. At first, almost no one in the mainstream science community believed in his work — some even called it “fake science”. But he never gave up. He was sure the answer he was looking for was real, so he kept focusing on his experiments, even when everyone around him doubted him. These three scientists’ stories tell us a simple but important truth: most big scientific discoveries don’t look impressive at first. But if you want to make something new in science, you need three things: the courage to face doubt, the patience to keep going even when you’re ignored or turned down for a long time and the determination to turn small, recognized work into something that changes the world. 1.What did the three Nobel Prize winners discover? A. Illness-causing genes. B. Results of immune disorder (紊乱). C. Immune control to stop self-attack. D. Treatments that correct immune errors. 2.What work style did Fred show? A. Treasuring teamwork B. Celebrating small progress C. Ignoring doubts from others D. Repeating important experiments 3.How is the text mainly developed? A. By giving examples B. By listing difficulties C. By making comparison D. By describing achievements 4.Which of the following is the best title of the text? A. The 2025 Nobel Prize Winners in Medicine B. Small Progresses, Big Discoveries C. Three Scientists: Stories Behind the Nobel Prize D. How to Succeed in Scientific Research 【答案】1. C　2. B　3. A　4. C 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇记叙文。主要介绍了2025年诺贝尔生理学或医学奖的三位得主及其研究成果，并讲述了他们各自的科研经历与工作风格以及他们的故事所传达出的重要道理。 (1)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第一段中“They bagged this big honor because of their important findings which help scientists understand how our bodies keep the immune system (免疫系统) under control so it doesn’t attack healthy cells (细胞) by mistake.

Their story is a beautiful example of how cultural exchanges can build lasting friendships. It all began in 1984 when David, then a 42-year-old educator, made a big decision. He announced to his three children that they would move to China, where he had a job teaching English at Shanxi University. This came as a great surprise to the family. At that time, it was very unusual for an American family to make such a move. The news even appeared in their local newspaper, which wrote about David leaving his job to teach in a Chinese city that few Americans knew. Life in Taiyuan presented challenges at first. “The weather was cold, and we sometimes had no power or water,” David recalled, “However, there were no difficulties as important as the kindness and warmth of the local people.” The family had only planned to stay for one year, but the experience left a deep mark on them. After returning to the US, David missed Taiyuan so much that he decided to go back. In 1989, with the support of all his children, he returned to Shanxi University to teach again with his wife. The Edgrens became true pioneers of people-to-people exchange. David has since visited China over 40 times. More importantly, he has helped more than 50 other Americans including students, teachers, and professionals, to travel, study and teach in China. His son Andy, who was a teenager when they first moved, recently revisited Taiyuan. He wore a T-shirt with Chinese characters that read, “I am a Shanxi person,” showing their deep personal connection to the place. The family’s long-lasting friendship with China continues to inspire those who hear their story. 1.Why did David Edgren’s decision surprise his family? A. Because the story was reported by a local newspaper. B. Because they did not want to leave their friends in the US. C. Because they thought China was too far away from home. D. Because it wasn’t a very common thing to do at that time. 2.What caused David Edgren to return to Taiyuan? A. An offer for a more important job there. B. The attraction of modern city life. C. His children’s need to finish their studies. D. His memory of the kind people there. 3.Which of the following best describes David Edgren? A. Brave and helpful. B. Kind and strict. C. Curious and funny. D. Humorous and positive. 4.What is the best title for this article? A. The Story of a Chinese City and Its Economic Growth. B. An American Family’s Long Connection with China. C.

Her groundbreaking work, which began in 1960 in Tanzania’s Gombe Stream National Park, completely changed scientists’ ideas about how smart animals are and what makes humans unique. Without a college degree at first, Goodall used great patience and an open mind to study chimpanzees (黑猩猩). She didn’t see them just as animals, but as individuals with their own personalities, feelings, and social lives. A key moment came when a chimpanzee she named David Greybeard allowed her to watch him closely. She saw him change a twig (小枝) by removing its leaves and use it to “fish” for termites (白蚁). This was an important discovery because, at that time, scientists believed only humans could make and use tools. This finding challenged the idea that humans were completely different from other animals. As the well-known anthropologist (人类学家) Louis Leakey said, it forced science to rethink the definition of “human.” Over time, Goodall formed close friendships with the chimpanzees, especially with a mother named Flo and her family. These strong personal connections allowed her to see into their world and deeply understand their family life and social behavior. Her unusual path — earning a PhD from Cambridge University without first getting a bachelor’s degree — showed her strong devotion. Knowing she needed to do more, she started the Jane Goodall Institute (JGI) in 1977. This organization leads global protection efforts and runs youth programs like “Roots & Shoots,” while also supporting women in science. Jane Goodall’s legacy (传承) goes far beyond her scientific discoveries. She showed the world that animals have complex emotions and intelligence, which helps people respect nature more. Even into her nineties, she continued to encourage people to protect wildlife and the environment around them. Through her life’s work, Goodall taught us that understanding and valuing other species is important for the health of our planet and for our own humanity. 1.Why is Jane Goodall’s work called “groundbreaking”? A. Changed views on animal intelligence. B. Proved all animals use tools. C. Created new research methods. D. Showed women can be scientists. 2.How did Goodall discover chimpanzees using tools? A. By reviewing existing theories. B. By doing experiments. C. By watching David Greybeard. D. By contacting local guides. 3.What does Goodall’s bond with Flo show? A. Long-term studies are effective. B. Tool usage requires long learning. C. A PhD degree ensures discovery. D. Emotional connection deepens research. 4.How does the text develop its main idea about Goodall? A. By comparing different research methods. B. By moving from discovery to influence. C. By listing life events in time order. D. By focusing on early African research 【答案】1. A　2. C　3. D　4. B 【解析】【导语】 这是一篇记叙文。简・古道尔自 1960 年起研究坦桑尼亚黑猩猩，发现其会使用工具等，成立相关机构，推动野生动物保护，留下深远影响。 (1)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第一段“Her groundbreaking work, which began in 1960 in Tanzania’s Gombe Stream National Park, completely changed scientists’ ideas about how smart animals are and what makes humans unique.

(久而久之，古道尔与黑猩猩建立了深厚的友谊，尤其是与一只名叫 Flo的母黑猩猩及其家人。这些牢固的情感联结让她得以深入它们的世界，深刻理解它们的家庭生活和社会行为。)”可知，古道尔与Flo的情感联结表明，情感联系能加深研究。故选D项。 (4)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第一段“Her groundbreaking work, which began in 1960 in Tanzania’s Gombe Stream National Park, completely changed scientists’ ideas about how smart animals are and what makes humans unique. (她开创性的研究始于1960年坦桑尼亚的贡贝溪国家公园，彻底改变了科学家们对动物智慧水平以及人类独特性的认知。)”以及后文可知，文章先介绍古道尔的核心科学发现（黑猩猩使用工具、有复杂情感和社会生活），再讲述她成立研究所、开展青少年项目等后续行动，最后阐述她的研究传承和对全球野生动物保护、人类认知的深远影响，是按照“发现——影响”的逻辑展开的。故选B项。 主题语境02 人与社会-社会服务与人际沟通 （25-26高一上·湖北楚天协作体·期中）When an earthquake struck a small town, many houses fell down and some people became homeless overnight. After the earthquake, all the newspapers reported many stories about some of the families who were in trouble. One Sunday, when I was reading a newspaper, some special pictures caught my eye and touched me deeply. They gave the detailed clothing sizes of each family member of those who suffered most from the earthquake and also what they were in desperate need of. I figured that this would be a good chance to teach my kids to help those who were less fortunate than themselves. Therefore, I said to my seven-year-old twins, Brad and Brett, and three-year-old Meghan, “We have so much, but these poor people now hardly have anything. Let’s do something for them. Well share what we have with them.” Then I took out a large box and filled it with large quantities of foods and also some clothes that we might not wear any longer. While I was doing this, I encouraged the boys to choose their toys and donate some of their less favorite things. Meghan watched quietly as the boys took out their old toys and games and put them together. Then she walked away. A few minutes later, she came back with Lucy, the doll she cherished most, who kept her company every night when she was sleeping. She placed the doll on top of the other toys. “Oh, dear,” I said. “You don’t have to give away Lucy. You love her so much.” Meghan said, Lucy makes me happy, Mommy. Maybe she’ll make another little girl happy as well.” I looked at Meghan for a long moment and it never occurred to me that she would be so kind to donate Lucy to others. It was then that I realized my daughter had taught me an important lesson. It’s easy to give up something that we don’t want any more, but harder to give what we love very much, isn’t it? 1.Why did the mother determine to help the families affected by the earthquake? A. Because she saw a news report on TV about the earthquake. B. Because she knew one of the families who lost their home. C. Because her sons and daughter asked her if they could help. D. Because she was touched by some pictures and information in a newspaper. 2.What did Meghan donate to the victims? A. Some of her old toys and games. B. Her favorite doll, Lucy. C. Some of her clothes and food. D. Her twin brothers’ less favorite things. 3.In Paragraph 4, the underlined word “cherished” can be best replaced by . A. left behind B. treasured C. gave up D. disliked 4.Which of the following is the best title for the story? A. The Importance of Donating B. A Terrible Earthquake C. The Importance of Sharing D. A Valuable Lesson from My Daughter 【答案】1. D　2. B　3. B　4.

It’s easy to give up something that we don’t want any more, but harder to give what we love very much, isn’t it?(就在那时，我意识到我的女儿给我上了重要的一课。放弃我们不再想要的东西很容易，但放弃我们非常爱的东西却很难，不是吗？)”可知，文章主要讲述了作者在看到地震灾区家庭的困境后，决定教育孩子们分享和帮助他人，最终被小女儿无私捐赠心爱玩偶的行为所感动和教育的故事。可知，D选项“从我女儿那里学到的重要一课”最适合作为文章标题。故选D项。 主题语境03 人与自我-生活与学习 Passage 1 （25-26高一上·湖北鄂东南联考·期中）My first day as a teacher, I was told I had a “sweet group of kids” by their fourth grade teachers, and after making it through that first day, I found this to be true. I quickly grew to love each child in my classroom. But in the following days, I found it hard to compete with the endless stream of fast-paced technology that filled their lives. It was a struggle to keep the students’ attention. As the year progressed, it came time to teach the American Revolution and I wondered how I would connect something that happened over 200 years earlier to the students’ lives. Another teacher suggested I try staging a revolution of my own, and so one Monday morning, the students arrived to find me in an elegant purple dress with long white gloves. I explained to the students that for a few weeks I would be “queen” of the classroom, and they would be my “colonists (殖民者).” I passed out five pennies to all the students each day and told them as long as they kept their pennies until the end of class, they would be rewarded. As the unit progressed, I began taxing (收税) a penny to go to the restroom or sharpen a pencil at other times than the given times. The tax reduced distractions (分心) because students didn’t want to give up their daily reward for a few minutes of playtime in the restroom. Then, my system took a sharp turn. At times, I would step aside from my queen act to give the “colonists” advice. “Think about what the early colonists did to solve their problems with the taxes. What can you do that might convince the queen to stop taxing you?” The unit took twists and turns (一波三折) that weren’t in my lesson plans, but I let the lessons unfold without concern over everything turning out a specific way. For the first time that year, I saw students pawing through their textbooks. One student even said, “This is cool. We are learning and having fun at the same time.” Through that unit, I realized that if the students could see how their input influenced the class, they would be engaged. 1.What did the teacher find difficult at the beginning of teaching? A. Loving each child in the classroom. B. Competing with other teachers in teaching skills. C. Connecting historical events to students’ lives. D. Keeping the students’ attention away from technology. 2.Why did the teacher dress up as a “queen” in class? A. To show her elegance to the students. B. To make students understand the history better. C. To get students to pay attention to her clothes. D. To celebrate the American Revolution. 3.What did the teacher do to reduce distractions during the “revolution” teaching? A. She taxed students for ungiven times. B. She asked students to study textbooks quietly. C. She allowed students to go to the restroom freely. D. She gave students extra pennies as rewards. 4.What did the teacher learn from this teaching experience? A. History lessons should be taught in a fun way. B. Students should be given more freedom in class. C. Students should be involved to attract their attention. D. Teachers should use more multimedia in teaching. 【答案】1. D　2. B　3. A　4.

Or, should I say I am from the United States, whose culture, philosophy, and language are deeply rooted in my life? In my mind, none of these answers are satisfying enough. I gave in to this constant sense of sadness, until very recently. Inside my drawer is a simple, white bath towel that I have not used since I brought it from my parents’ house last summer. On an ordinary evening, I took it out to take a bath, but stopped after the soft, sweet, artificial smell of laundry detergent (洗涤剂) that my parents used back in Japan floated into my nose. I felt my eyes water as that random smell brought my mixed emotions to the surface: sadness, loneliness, and nostalgia. It’s silly, but I still avoid using that towel to this day because I don’t want to replace the smell of nostalgia with my Tide detergent. A similar thing happened when I was walking through a supermarket. Somehow being in the vegetable section, with the smells of raw vegetables and some unidentifiable spices, brought up the broad strokes of a memory from when I lived in California. That smell took me back to an open market my father always loved to go to. Anytime I come across that “vegetable smell,” I can blurrily (模糊地) picture the green plastic crates with onions, savory spices, and people’s voices. I don’t know the name of that market, where it was, or if it even exists now, but I can remember that it always brought a sense of comfort. Though, I still struggle when answering where I am from, in random moments, when a smell hits me with the memories it brings, I like to believe the things I feel then are things people feel when they are home. Myself, my “home,” are still split, but I am lucky enough to feel like I am “at home” in these brief moments. 1.What is the main challenge the author faces when asked “Where are you from?” A. She has never lived in a single country. B. She feels conflicted about her cultural identity. C. She dislikes talking about her background. D. She doesn’t understand the question. 2.What does the underlined word “nostalgia” mean in the third paragraph? A. Depression. B. Homesickness. C. Embarrassment. D. Thrill. 3.The “vegetable smell” in the supermarket reminds the author of ____________. A. her current cooking habits B. a specific market from her past in California C. her desire to become a chef D. the differences between Japanese and American markets 4.In the last paragraph, the author suggests that “home” is______________. A. a fixed geographical location B. a connection to birthplace C. an emotional experience that can occur briefly D. something that can only be found in one’s native country 【答案】1. B　2. B　3. B　4. C 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲的是作者在跨文化背景下对“归属感”与“身份认同”的深层探索，通过气味引发的记忆碎片，展现个体在文化夹缝中寻找精神家园的挣扎与顿悟。 (1)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第二段“I could say I am from Japan—I was born there, after all. Or, should I say I am from the United States, whose culture, philosophy, and language are deeply rooted in my life? In my mind, none of these answers are satisfying enough.(我可以说我来自日本——毕竟我出生在那里。或者，我应该说我来自美国，美国的文化、哲学和语言都深深植根于我的生活中？在我看来，这些答案都不够令人满意。)”可知，当被问到“你来自哪里？”时，作者面临的主要挑战是她对自己的文化身份感到矛盾。故选B。 (2)题解析： 词句猜测题。根据第三段“On an ordinary evening, I took it out to take a bath, but stopped after the soft, sweet, artificial smell of laundry detergent (洗涤剂) that my parents used back in Japan floated into my nose. I felt my eyes water as that random smell brought my mixed emotions to the surface: sadness, loneliness(在一个普通的晚上，我把它拿出来洗澡，但当我父母在日本用过的柔软、甜蜜的人工洗衣粉气味飘进我的鼻子时，我就停了下来。我觉得我的眼睛湿润了，因为那随意的气味把我复杂的情绪带到了表面：悲伤、孤独)”和第四段“A similar thing happened when I was walking through a supermarket. Somehow being in the vegetable section, with the smells of raw vegetables and some unidentifiable spices, brought up the broad strokes of a memory from when I lived in California.(当我走过一家超市时，类似的事情也发生了。不知怎的，在蔬菜区，生蔬菜的味道和一些无法辨认的香料，勾起了我在加州生活时的记忆。)”可知，作者在闻到父母在日本用过的柔软、甜蜜的人工洗衣粉气味时，作者思念家乡，nostalgia指“思乡之情”，和Homesickness意思相近。故选B。 (3)题解析： 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“That smell took me back to an open market my father always loved to go to. Anytime I come across that “vegetable smell,” I can blurrily (模糊地) picture the green plastic crates with onions, savory spices, and people’s voices.(那气味把我带回到我父亲一直喜欢去的露天市场。每当我闻到那种“蔬菜味”，我就能模糊地想象出绿色的塑料箱里装着洋葱、美味的香料和人们的声音。)”可知，超市里的“蔬菜味”让作者想起了她过去在加州的一个具体的市场。故选B。 (4)题解析： 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Myself, my “home,” are still split, but I am lucky enough to feel like I am “at home” in these brief moments.(我自己，我的“家”，仍然是分裂的，但我很幸运，在这些短暂的时刻，我觉得我是“在家里”。)”可知，在最后一段，作者暗示“家”是短暂的情感体验。故选C。 主题语境01 人与社会-历史、社会与文化 （25-26高一上·湖北襄阳第一中学·期中）My family have collected bottles from sunrise to sunset all year long. My mother leaves at dawn to collect cans, and when she returns 12 hours later, I help her pull the shopping cart to the recycling center through the streets of Bushwick. I have kept it a secret all the time. I couldn’t bear the idea of my friends knowing our family live off other people’s garbage. I felt guilty for being embarrassed, but I couldn’t help it. I was not ready to trust someone else. Then I took a college essay course, which required me to write an essay about what had the greatest impact on my personal growth. I chose to write about the impact my neighborhood had on me. At the end, there was just one sentence about can collecting. One day after class, my teacher asked me to discuss my essay draft. “Your story has potential; however, it is not about personal growth. Would you tell me about the can collecting?” So I was faced with sharing my secret. But he was my teacher and I trusted him so I rewrote the essay. Two days later I found out we were expected to read our essays out loud after lunch, but I felt ashamed that my peers would know. As I headed down to the cafeteria, I met up with a friend, Mason, who I always have lunch with. I was less talkative, and Mason found that I had something on my mind. I told him I was embarrassed about my family’s story. “You should be proud that your family are struggling to take care of their loved ones.” This was what I needed to hear and I felt like I could finally breathe after all those years of hiding a part of myself. When we got back to class, I felt ready to read my draft out loud. After my classmates listened to my story, they said things like: “Each of our stories is unique to our experience and shapes us.” “Your being ashamed only hurts you.” “Accept your home and community, because they are your true family.” Now, when people ask me what my parents do for a living, I tell them, not with embarrassment or shame but with pride, that my parents are can collectors. 1.Why did the author mention can collecting very briefly in his essay? A. To highlight his family story. B. To hide his lasting secret. C. To make his essay persuasive. D. To summarize his experience. 2.What advice did Mason give to the author? A. Try hard to survive the poverty (贫穷) B. Show greater love for his family. C. Form the habit of talking more. D.

For some of us, during the travel, our parents are our inspiration. These trips are normally full of rental cars, beaches, and hamburgers. My family would go to Galiano island every summer, and we did a week in Mexico in 1995, and then we did two different trips to Anaheim to experience the magic of Disney. Universal, and Knott’s Berry Farm. But all of these are childhood experiences and memories. I didn’t really truly travel with my parents until I was an adult when I got the chance to travel with mom and dad. I was in New Zealand for a study abroad, and invited my parents to come down for a 2-week road trip around the North Island and then 10 days in Fiji. Why not? They said, as if this was something they were invited to do every day. I didn’t really plan anything, but my mom had done some reading and I knew some highlights after living in New Zealand for 5 months. I had booked a hotel for their first night in Auckland. The only other preparation I had done was to book a rental car. My parents immediately reached an agreement that I should be the driver, for the whole two weeks. The main reason for this, understandably, was that neither of them had ever been in a country where you drive on the left-hand side of the road and on the right-hand side of the car. This led to me driving my parents around the entire North Island of New Zealand for 2 weeks! But still, everybody had jobs. Dad had the maps, and mom had the guidebook, and I just took them where they told me to go. Sometimes, I was asked who I was traveling with. When I said “my parents”, the response was, “Ohhh, older people.” In fact, I have some tips on travelling with parents happily. 1.Which does the underlined word “inspiration” in Paragraph. 1 mean? A. Cooks. B. Guides. C. Drivers. D. Translators. 2.Why did the parents let the writer drive the car in New Zealand? A. They were not used to the driving rules. B. They were afraid of the mountain roads. C. They were too old to drive for a long time. D. They were busy reading the maps and guidebook. 3.What is the best title for the passage? A. Drive on the Way. B. Travel with Parents. C. Enjoy New Zealand. D. Remember the Childhood 4.What will the writer share next? A. The holidays with parents. B. The memory in Fiji as a child. C. The scene during the road trip. D.

Dad had the maps, and mom had the guidebook, and I just took them where they told me to go.(不过每个人都有分工：爸爸负责看地图，妈妈负责看旅游指南，而我只需载他们去他们指示的地方。)”可知，童年旅行中父母可能扮演“向导”角色。由此可知，inspiration意为“向导”。故选B项。 (2)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第四段“The main reason for this, understandably, was that neither of them had ever been in a country where you drive on the left-hand side of the road and on the right-hand side of the car.(可以理解的是，这样做的主要原因是，他们都没有去过一个靠左行驶、靠右坐车的国家。)”可知，父母让作者在新西兰开车是因为他们不习惯这里的驾驶规则。故选A项。 (3)题解析： 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Most of us travel with our parents as children and teenagers. (我们大多数人在孩童和青少年时期都和父母一起旅行。)”以及第二段“I didn’t really truly travel with my parents until I was an adult when I got the chance to travel with mom and dad.

The 22-year-old baker never imagined he would take over the management of a bakery from his fellow German friends. Bach’s Bakery, located in Changsha, is popular among the locals for hiring bakers with hearing disabilities. What truly makes Markus special is his unusual approach to training. Last summer, he reached out to the local vocational school to invite deaf students to join his team. Every Tuesday afternoon, four students sit behind the counter while Markus teaches them how to shape croissants(羊角面包) and decorate cakes with sign language. “Working side by side with these young learners reminds me why I became a baker,” he smiles. “I’m happiest when I see them grow in the job, ” he says. “They accumulate more skills and knowledge and keep improving, which I value the most. ” When asked about his future plans, Markus pauses thoughtfully. “I can’t predict if baking will be my lifelong career, but right now I know this is where I’m meant to be.” His eyes light up as he describes watching customers smile over their first bite of perfectly timed creme brulée (焦糖布丁). “There’s something magical about turning simple ingredients into moments of joy,” he explains. This idea shapes everything he does. “My heart tells me baking isn’t just a job — it’s a responsibility to create happiness.” He hopes one day to open his own training center where experienced bakers can teach newcomers, not just the hearing-impaired, adding he wants to continue training more carefully and professionally. From uncertain beginnings to purposeful creation, he trusts that following his passion has led him to the right place. He also wants to work with vocational schools so his employees can learn bakery skills with other students. “No matter what I do, I feel a strong sense of destiny (使命感). I trust my heart,” he says. 1.Why is Markus’s bakery so popular among locals in Changsha? A. He is a German. B. He sells daily specials. C. He hires hearing-disabled bakers. D.

Her journey to give up the smartphone began shortly after graduating from college, when she started posting pictures of her art online and got hundreds of thousands of followers. “Everything that I shared online — about my love life or my vacations or my house — all these pictures and words were feeding into my business so they would result in sales,” Lamm said. Finally, she said, the pressure to keep that up became too much, and she reached a breaking point. At first, Lamm tried to put her phone in a drawer and didn’t look at it for a whole day, which she said “was very inconvenient to everyone in my life”. It took her about a year to quit her smartphone and fully devote herself to the dumbphone lifestyle, which offers only basic calling and texting. Still, there are certain things that may feel impossible to navigate without smartphones, since they are more than just texting and surfing social media. In 2025, these smartphones function as virtual wallets, health trackers, identification tools, and even personal assistants. However, Lamm has found solutions to the challenges. “You work out these problems by asking,” Lamm said, “like asking the parking company if they can give you another choice when you can’t use parking meter (计时器), and a lot of the time they will”. When it comes to her career, Lamm says she earns more money now than she ever did as an influencer online. That’s because now she only does the actual work, rather than spending hours and hours crafting posts. “When I stopped posting, I found out income sources that existed before social media: agencies, magazines, galleries, publishers,” she said. “If I hadn’t spent thousands of hours trying to build a following, I could have spent that time going to galleries, taking classes, meeting people, making connections, organizing events, submitting to exhibitions and otherwise making a name for myself in the real world. I could have improved more quickly if I had not arranged online visibility above creative development.” 1.What made August Lamm decide to give up the smartphone? A. The sense of duty to help her followers. B. Her addiction to the smartphone. C. Her pressure from the busy college life. D. The anxiety from social networking. 2.Why does the author mention the situations in 2025 in paragraph 3? A. To explain people can live well without smartphones. B. To stress the difficulty of solutions to phone addiction. C. To give the fact that people are often distracted by phones. D. To state the close connection between man and smartphones. 3.How can we best describe August Lamm according to the text? A. Strict and hard-working. B. Determined and adaptable. C. Fashionable and knowledgeable. D. Generous and kind-hearted. 4.What message does August Lamm want to express in the last paragraph? A. Social media do more harm than good. B. Dumbphones are making a comeback. C. One can be less dependent on social media. D. Use smartphones only when necessary. 【答案】1. D　2. D　3. B　4.

I could have improved more quickly if I had not arranged online visibility above creative development.”(“当我停止发帖时，我发现了在社交媒体出现之前就存在的收入来源：代理商、杂志、画廊、出版商，”她说。“如果我没有花成千上万个小时试图建立追随者，我可能会把这些时间花在去画廊、上课、结识人、建立联系、组织活动、参加展览，或者在现实世界中为自己树立名声上。”如果我没有把在线曝光安排在创意开发之前，我本可以进步得更快。”)”可知，拉姆想表达人们可以不那么依赖社交媒体，在现实中也能实现自身价值。故选C项。 / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
