Miao Xiaohong, one of China’s second batch of female pilots, controlled the Tecnam P2010 plane to take off, turn, climb, dive and land safely at the Shifosi Airport in Pinggu District of Beijing. In 1956, Miao Xiaohong, who graduated from a high school in Jinan, won a position in the second batch. She graduated from the flight school in 1958. In the following years, she flew many important missions. In 1963, she undertook a mission to airdrop materials for the flood-stricken areas in Hebei Province. Poor visibility prevented her from locating the target areas as the clouds were about 100 meters above the ground, but she managed to finish the task. In 1989, she retired and started her writing career. When she collected materials for her books, she found that many aged pilots in other countries still flew, so she had the idea to return to the sky. To prepare for the flight, she walked 3,000 steps every day and moved her arms to meet the requirements for high-altitude flight during the past two months. Different from past flights for missions, this time her goal was to enjoy the flight. She said that it was exciting and fresh. “Seeing the boundless blue sky unfold in front of me, I feel it is very open,” she said. The trainer said that Miao Xiaohong could finish 30 hours of flight to get a license for commercial flight. She said, “My physical condition is good enough to finish the 30-hour flight, but it is not so important for me to get such a license. After achieving my dream of returning to the sky, I hope to encourage young women to join the airline industry. I’m 82 years old and I can fly again. You, the young people, can fly and will fly better than me.” 1.What challenge did Miao Xiaohong face during the airdrop mission? A. Lack of enough materials. B. No access to the struck areas. C. Poor visibility caused by thick clouds. D. Shortage of good eyesight to spot the targets. 2.What made Miao Xiaohong have the idea of flying a plane at the age of 82? A. Her deep love for flight. B. The influence of other aged pilots. C. The requirements of her books. D. Her wish to break a flying record. 3.Which words can best describe Miao Xiaohong? A. Devoted and humble. B. Courageous and honest. C. Determined and inspiring. D. Optimistic and outgoing. 4.What might be the best title for the passage? A. Returning to the Blue Sky. B. Coming to Join in the Flight. C. Managing to Finish Difficult Tasks. D. Improving Yourself to Set a Record. Passage 2 （25-26高二上·湖北孝感新高考协作体·期中）“Wildlife Services. How may I help you?” A concerned woman’s voice described a possible injured animal on the roadside — something with brown, black, and white fur, moving in the wind. “Perhaps it was someone’s loving cat or dog. Maybe a fox? I wasn’t sure. But it might be wounded and need help.” She sounded genuinely worried. She even called it “Fluffy.” So, I set off in the morning wind, driving along the stretch of road she mentioned. Beautiful day. But there was no sign of any animal, injured or otherwise. I made a note and headed back, figuring the creature might have moved on. Case closed, or so I thought. The next day, the same lady called back. I told her my findings, and she seemed relieved. I thought that was the end of it. But not an hour later, my phone rang again. It was her. Her voice was a mix of excitement and urgency. “I see it again! It’s farther down the road, behind some bushes. I can see its tail moving! I’ll wait here for you.” I turned the truck around and headed back. Sure enough, a car was parked on the shoulder, and a woman was waving me over. I eased my way into a parking space. She pointed eagerly toward the bushes. Parting the branches, I saw it immediately. And I had to stop. I looked closer, just to be absolutely sure. A laugh simply exploded from me. I tried to be polite, but it was hopeless. I was laughing as I walked back to the waiting woman, who was starting to look a little offended. I held out my prize. “Ma’am,” I said, trying to catch my breath. “I found your Fluffy.” There, in my hand was a colorful winter hat with a big, fluffy (毛茸茸的), 100% cotton pom-pom (绒球). 1.Why did the woman call Wildlife Services that morning? A. To rescue her long-lost pet. B. To return a newly found hat. C. To report a wild animal attack. D. To assist a possibly injured animal. 2.Which of the following best describes the woman? A. Nosy.

Now pursuing a PhD in Aerospace Science and Technology at Northwestern Polytechnical University in Xi’an, he is deeply involved in research on propellant combustion (推进剂燃烧). Bruce’s fascination with aerospace began in his youth. Growing up in Ghana, he was attracted by the Chinese classic “Journey to the West,” which was often broadcast on national television. “I love Sun Wukong, because even though he has weaknesses, he still tries to give his best self,” Bruce said. This inspiration led him to choose a specialized university in Ghana that offered aerospace majors. After earning his Bachelor of Science degree, Bruce set his sights on China to further his studies. In 2022, Bruce completed his master’s degree at the Beijing Institute of Technology. To conduct more research on propellant combustion, he moved to Xi’an to pursue a PhD at the School of Aerospace Science and Technology at Northwestern Polytechnical University. The open experimental environment and diverse academic activities there have broadened his horizons. “We do experiments that are really advanced in the development of the space industry in China and the whole world,” said Bruce, adding that he values this experience because it reflects a can-do attitude. Bruce’s parents initially thought that studying aerospace was “unrealistic.” However, his experiences in China have strengthened his resolution and increased his confidence in China’s aerospace industry. Bruce said every time there’s a launch, he will watch the entire video. During his study in China, Bruce has consistently achieved excellent grades and received numerous honors. He attributes these to the cooperation and traditional friendship between China and Africa. As more international students join the program, Bruce began sharing the story of China’s aerospace industry with a wider audience. Bruce aims to contribute to the advancement of rocket engine design through his studies and hard work. Looking ahead, he dreams of joining the Chinese space station as an aerospace engineer. 1.Why did Bruce have a passion for aerospace at his early age? A.

Passage 2 （25-26高二上·湖北随州高中教联体·期中）By the time Nalin Kamat was 13, the Toronto teen had been well on his way to becoming a working artist. He had already had his first show at a local art center. showcasing his series titled “Dispositions”, which illustrated his own growth during adolescence. Yet he wanted more—specifically to start showing his work in a juried exhibition, an exhibition with judges, where a group of art experts would evaluate and select pieces in a competitive review process. That’s when he hit an obstacle, discovering in the very last line of a multi-page application that the smallest age for submission was 18. However, being refused became a motivation for creation. “I thought it’d be really cool if I could provide the opportunity to more young artists,” says Nalin, now 15. With the support of his parents, in January 2023, Nalin rented a storefront and founded Little EGG Gallery, which is now profitable enough to make ends meet by charging a small hanging fee for any displayed work. In turn, Little EGG helps promote young talent by showcasing their work. Not long after opening, David Griffin, a professor and artist of Ontario College of Art and Design University, stepped into the gallery and met Nalin. Griffin considered him as someone special: “a strong young artist with a really excellent idea—creating a space for showing the natural genius of young people. It was a void (空白) in the art world.” There Nalin asked Griffin to help judge an upcoming competition. The first show with judges was last spring, and five-year-old Jack Gamble won for his abstract painting titled “Pokemon”. As Nalin is busy with school, life and his own art, Little EGG is mostly open by appointment only, but he’s still committed to growing it with seasonal and themed shows scheduled a few times a year. 1.What do we know about Nalin?

Her death was announced by the Jane Goodall Institute. The United Nations praised how she had “worked tirelessly for our planet and all its inhabitants, leaving an extraordinary legacy for humanity and nature”. Born in London in 1934, Goodall said her passion for animals was sparked by the gift of a toy chimpanzee from her father. Her passion grew as she read books featuring Tarzan and Dr. Dolittle. In 1957, she fulfilled her childhood dream by joining Dr. Louis Leakey in Africa to study chimpanzees in their natural habitat. In 1960, Goodall began researching free-living chimpanzees at Gombe Stream National Park in Tanzania. There she made the groundbreaking research. It revolutionized our understanding of animal behavior and helped challenge the idea that only humans could use tools and that chimps were vegetarian. In 1977, she founded the Jane Goodall Institute, which works to protect chimpanzees and their habitats. It now has offices in more than 25 countries. In 1991, the institute launched the Roots and Shoots project to encourage young people to take action to address environmental issues and create positive change through various activities, such as cleaning up the environment and creating habitats for wildlife. Awarded a UN Messenger of Peace in 2002, Jane Goodall was an outspoken advocate of environmental issues and disapproved of the use of animals in medical research and zoos. Well into her 80s, Goodall showed little sign of slowing down as she continued to write and speak about her work. In 2021, Goodall published “The Book of Hope: A Survival Guide for an Endangered Planet”, in which she admitted to sometimes feeling like she was fighting a losing battle, but explained how she kept going. “I’m not going to give in,” she said. “I’ll die fighting — that’s for sure.” 1.What inspired Jane Goodall’s love for animals? A. Her journey to Africa. B. A toy chimpanzee from her father. C. Reading books about environment. D.

Then he smiled meanly, held his right leg, and copied how Amy walked with a limp. Amy closed her eyes. “Ignore him.” she told herself, heading to class. By day’s end, she still thought about his teasing. Since third grade, someone had made fun of her every day — about her speech or limp from cerebral palsy. Even in a full classroom, it made her lonely. At dinner that night, Amy was quiet. Her mom Patti shared exciting news: a radio Christmas wish contest — write to Santa for a prize. “You, with blonde curls, should join.” her mom said. Amy laughed, then smiled at an idea. She took pencil and paper, starting, “Dear Santa Claus, …” While Amy wrote, her family guessed her wish: her sister Jamie and mom thought a 3-foot Barbie, her dad a picture book. But Amy kept it secret. Her letter read: “I’m Amy, 9. Kids laugh at how I walk, run, talk. I have cerebral palsy. I just want one day without teasing.” At Indiana’s WJLT radio, many letters arrived. Manager Lee Tobin read Amy’s letter, knowing cerebral palsy confused her classmates. He called the local paper. Next day, Amy’s photo and letter were on the News Sentinel front page. The story spread nationwide. Soon, mail flooded her home — greetings and encouragement from across the U.S. Over 2,000 people worldwide sent support; some had disabilities, some were teased as kids. Amy felt less lonely. She got her wish: a teasing-free day at South Wayne Elementary. Teachers and students talked about how bad teasing is.

Now, over 589 days and 19,000 Twitter followers later, he is more passionate (热爱的) than ever about his task to save the planet! Edgar found out that Los Angeles would be the host of the 2028 Summer Olympic Games. Knowing the state of the national forest at the time, he feared that its grounds that were full of litter would make the city a “global embarrassment,” so he decided to make cleaning it up his new passion project. As time went on, he began documenting his progress on Twitter. Soon, he began encouraging others to start park cleanup projects of their own. As part of southern California’s Angeles National Forest, Eaton Canyon can see quite a bit of daily foot traffic. On one particularly busy day, Edgar spent five hours picking up litter and came away with over 1,000 pounds of rubbish. Rain or shine, Edgar headed over to carry out his task. He worked through conditions like snowstorms, a record heat wave, and even a forest fire on the opposite side of the park. The more he did, the more treasures he discovered. In addition to a lot of old iPhones and cans, Edgar collected enough recyclables to earn around 30 dollars every few weeks, which he would donate to nonprofits. Recently, Edgar began noticing that the top-littered areas in his park were becoming few and far between. At one point, he spent four hours moving around the park and only returned with two buckets.

After I put it down, he said, plainly: “Now I will teach you how to make it beautiful.” I felt my breath catch. Growing up in Singapore, I had an uneasy relationship with my Chinese name. My parents are ethnically Chinese but they didn’t speak Mandarin. Unfamiliar with Chinese characters, they used fortune tellers to decide my name based on the ideal number of strokes (笔画) for each character, which was calculated for the best fortune. Chinese names can be truly poetic. Not mine. Embarrassingly, the characters for my Chinese name mean, roughly, “old,” “barley” and “warm.” My personal and cultural histories were messy knots. When I arrived in America for college at 18, I embraced critical analysis and creative expression. It felt like a way to abandon the strict formalities that defined my early years in Singapore’s high-pressure education system, and with it, perhaps, parts of my identity. Suddenly, I felt the need to present myself in a way that Americans would accept. I put on an American accent and set aside my Chinese name. Ultimately, after 14 years in the States, I decided to learn calligraphy. Why not get back in touch with my heritage? I thought. In calligraphy, the idea is to replicate (复制) the old masters’ techniques, thereby enhancing your own. Every week, my teacher would evaluate my writing. “You need to be braver,” he once observed. “Your challenge is in producing a bold stroke.” For years, I had prided myself on developing an image of integration and confidence despite deep insecurities, but my writing betrayed me. I had been learning calligraphy to try to get in touch with my cultural roots, but what I was really seeking was a return to myself. That first lesson came with the terrific promise that what had been shameful in myself could be made beautiful—and that I could be the one to do that work. I know now that what calligraphy teaches me is not the value of replication but the possibility that I could know myself more fully. 1.What criterion guided the selection of the author’s Chinese name? A. Poetic sound patterns. B. Ideal symbolic images. C. Favorable stroke counts. D. Positive literal meanings. 2.Why did the author adopt an American accent? A. To break with tradition. B. To fit into the community. C. To achieve academic success. D. To facilitate language learning. 3.What have we learned about the author’s experience with calligraphy? A. It revealed her inner self. B. It improved her public image. C. It presented no challenge to her. D. It enhanced her replication skills. 4.What has the author learned from calligraphy? A. Fortune favors the bold. B. Embrace who you truly are. C. Our roots define our identity. D. Planning is good, but doing is better. Passage 2 （25-26高二上·湖北孝感·期中）I decided to ski to the North Pole. It was after I met with an advertisement in a newspaper looking for people to join a team to ski 350 miles to the North Pole. Back in 1996, there had never been a woman from the UK who had accomplished this challenge. I wondered what it would be like to survive in temperatures cold enough to freeze your flesh in seconds, so I sent off the application form. The application form full of pictures of male explorers arrived. The words “Are you man enough for the ultimate (极限的) challenge?” made me angry and even more determined to join the team. Over 500 individuals applied for a place in the team, and the selection process included physical and psychological tests designed to pick the best group. In one test, there was a huge rope ladder we had to climb, and I froze at the top because I have a fear of heights. I thought my hopes were fading as most other applicants sailed past, leaving me behind. But two others helped me over, and later I found out that the organizers were not looking for amazing individuals, but great team players, and this moment had shown them who would take care of others in the team. I had revealed my weakness, and in a place like the Arctic, you have to be yourself, as there is nowhere to hide. These personalities of seeking for help and showing weakness are necessary for women to master. I realized that by being myself, I could succeed. I was eventually selected for the team. I got to be aware that I could achieve more than I ever imagined-more importantly, by sharing my story with others, I could inspire them to take a step into the new world and reveal more of their abilities. 1.What was the author’s reaction to the advertisement? A. She got annoyed. B. She was indifferent. C. She got scared. D. She was determined. 2.What did the organizers regard as the most significant about selecting new hands? A. Character. B. Individual capability. C. Spirit of cooperation. D. Bravery to challenge. 3.What does the author think of women’s displaying weakness? A. Shameful. B. Beneficial. C. Inappropriate. D. Disappointing. 4.What’s the author’s purpose of writing this text? A. To motivate us to prepare for our ambition. B. To recommend women to seek for help. C. To encourage people to explore the unknown. D. To provide guidance for her team members. Passage 3 （25-26高二上·湖北武汉中学·期中）At first sight, Easthope doesn’t seem much like a Cassandra (希腊神话人物). She smiles a lot. Her manner is kind and motherly; pushed to name her profession, you might guess at nurse or teacher. But look closer. Easthope is an emergency planner whose job is to support the survivors of major disasters, in which capacity she acted following the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami and the fire at Grenfell Tower. For two decades, the public knew nothing about this vital work, which went on behind the scenes, though she was hugely admired in what we might call professional disaster circles: a voice of calm and a fountain of wisdom. But in 2023, she published a best-selling book about her career, When the Dust Settles, and that changed. People became very interested in what she did. “At literary festivals, most authors get questions about their writing process,” Easthope says. “But I wouldn’t get those. What people wanted from me was to know how I lived with the knowledge that I have. Wasn’t I afraid? How did I handle it? I would tell them that I didn’t live afraid, and I would give them basic advice. But this wasn’t enough.” In the end, she felt she had no choice but to write a second book, one in which she would try to cover all that she has learned for the benefit of each individual. While her publisher describes Come What May as a road map for resilience (韧性), the word is one Easthope dislikes. Ready, she suggests, is a better one. Easthope also reminds people that small things, like losing hair during illness or consuming too much food after someone dies, still matter.

Miao Xiaohong, one of China’s second batch of female pilots, controlled the Tecnam P2010 plane to take off, turn, climb, dive and land safely at the Shifosi Airport in Pinggu District of Beijing. In 1956, Miao Xiaohong, who graduated from a high school in Jinan, won a position in the second batch. She graduated from the flight school in 1958. In the following years, she flew many important missions. In 1963, she undertook a mission to airdrop materials for the flood-stricken areas in Hebei Province. Poor visibility prevented her from locating the target areas as the clouds were about 100 meters above the ground, but she managed to finish the task. In 1989, she retired and started her writing career. When she collected materials for her books, she found that many aged pilots in other countries still flew, so she had the idea to return to the sky. To prepare for the flight, she walked 3,000 steps every day and moved her arms to meet the requirements for high-altitude flight during the past two months. Different from past flights for missions, this time her goal was to enjoy the flight. She said that it was exciting and fresh. “Seeing the boundless blue sky unfold in front of me, I feel it is very open,” she said. The trainer said that Miao Xiaohong could finish 30 hours of flight to get a license for commercial flight. She said, “My physical condition is good enough to finish the 30-hour flight, but it is not so important for me to get such a license. After achieving my dream of returning to the sky, I hope to encourage young women to join the airline industry. I’m 82 years old and I can fly again. You, the young people, can fly and will fly better than me.” 1.What challenge did Miao Xiaohong face during the airdrop mission? A. Lack of enough materials. B. No access to the struck areas. C. Poor visibility caused by thick clouds. D. Shortage of good eyesight to spot the targets. 2.What made Miao Xiaohong have the idea of flying a plane at the age of 82? A. Her deep love for flight. B. The influence of other aged pilots. C. The requirements of her books. D. Her wish to break a flying record. 3.Which words can best describe Miao Xiaohong? A. Devoted and humble. B. Courageous and honest. C. Determined and inspiring. D. Optimistic and outgoing. 4.What might be the best title for the passage? A. Returning to the Blue Sky. B. Coming to Join in the Flight. C. Managing to Finish Difficult Tasks. D. Improving Yourself to Set a Record. 【答案】1. C　2. B　3. C　4.

How may I help you?” A concerned woman’s voice described a possible injured animal on the roadside — something with brown, black, and white fur, moving in the wind. “Perhaps it was someone’s loving cat or dog. Maybe a fox? I wasn’t sure. But it might be wounded and need help.” She sounded genuinely worried. She even called it “Fluffy.” So, I set off in the morning wind, driving along the stretch of road she mentioned. Beautiful day. But there was no sign of any animal, injured or otherwise.

It’s farther down the road, behind some bushes. I can see its tail moving! I’ll wait here for you.” I turned the truck around and headed back. Sure enough, a car was parked on the shoulder, and a woman was waving me over. I eased my way into a parking space. She pointed eagerly toward the bushes. Parting the branches, I saw it immediately. And I had to stop. I looked closer, just to be absolutely sure. A laugh simply exploded from me. I tried to be polite, but it was hopeless. I was laughing as I walked back to the waiting woman, who was starting to look a little offended. I held out my prize. “Ma’am,” I said, trying to catch my breath. “I found your Fluffy.” There, in my hand was a colorful winter hat with a big, fluffy (毛茸茸的), 100% cotton pom-pom (绒球). 1.Why did the woman call Wildlife Services that morning?

Her death was announced by the Jane Goodall Institute. The United Nations praised how she had “worked tirelessly for our planet and all its inhabitants, leaving an extraordinary legacy for humanity and nature”. Born in London in 1934, Goodall said her passion for animals was sparked by the gift of a toy chimpanzee from her father. Her passion grew as she read books featuring Tarzan and Dr. Dolittle. In 1957, she fulfilled her childhood dream by joining Dr. Louis Leakey in Africa to study chimpanzees in their natural habitat. In 1960, Goodall began researching free-living chimpanzees at Gombe Stream National Park in Tanzania. There she made the groundbreaking research. It revolutionized our understanding of animal behavior and helped challenge the idea that only humans could use tools and that chimps were vegetarian. In 1977, she founded the Jane Goodall Institute, which works to protect chimpanzees and their habitats. It now has offices in more than 25 countries. In 1991, the institute launched the Roots and Shoots project to encourage young people to take action to address environmental issues and create positive change through various activities, such as cleaning up the environment and creating habitats for wildlife. Awarded a UN Messenger of Peace in 2002, Jane Goodall was an outspoken advocate of environmental issues and disapproved of the use of animals in medical research and zoos. Well into her 80s, Goodall showed little sign of slowing down as she continued to write and speak about her work. In 2021, Goodall published “The Book of Hope: A Survival Guide for an Endangered Planet”, in which she admitted to sometimes feeling like she was fighting a losing battle, but explained how she kept going. “I’m not going to give in,” she said. “I’ll die fighting — that’s for sure.” 1.What inspired Jane Goodall’s love for animals? A. Her journey to Africa. B. A toy chimpanzee from her father. C. Reading books about environment. D. Studying with Dr Louise Leakey. 2.What does the underlined word “revolutionized” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Demonstrated. B. Supported. C. Changed. D. Advocated. 3.What’s the aim of the Roots and Shoots project? A. To build a research center. B. To study chimpanzees in Gombe. C. To train scientists in wildlife protection. D. To encourage young people to protect the environment. 4.Which of following best describe Jane Goodall according to the text? A. Ambitious and patient. B. Easygoing and demanding. C. Passionate and determined. D. Humorous and committed. 【答案】1. B　2. C　3. D　4. C 【解析】【导语】 本文为一篇记叙文，文章主要颂扬了Jane Goodall作为杰出灵长类动物学家和环保主义者的一生。 (1)题解析： 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Born in London in 1934, Goodall said her passion for animals was sparked by the gift of a toy chimpanzee from her father.(Goodall 1934年出生于伦敦，她曾表示对动物的热爱源于父亲赠送的玩具黑猩猩。)”可知，Jane Goodall对动物的热爱是由父亲送给她的一个黑猩猩玩具所激发的。故选B。 (2)题解析： 词义猜测题。根据文章划线词后文的内容“and helped challenge the idea that only humans could use tools and that chimps were vegetarian.(有力反驳了只有人类会使用工具和黑猩猩是素食者的固有观念。)”可知，她的研究帮助反驳了人们的固有观念，因此此处划线词与C项“Changed(改变)”意思相近，她的研究改变了人类对动物行为的认知，并有力地反驳了人们的固有观念。故选C。 (3)题解析： 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“In 1991, the institute launched the Roots and Shoots project to encourage young people to take action to address environmental issues and create positive change through various activities, such as cleaning up the environment and creating habitats for wildlife.(1991年，该机构启动了“根与芽”项目，通过清理环境、营造野生动物栖息地等活动，激励年轻一代采取行动应对环境问题且创造积极的改变。)”可知，“根与芽”项目的目的是为了激励年轻人采取行动应对环境问题，从而保护环境。故选D。 (4)题解析： 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Born in London in 1934, Goodall said her passion for animals was sparked by the gift of a toy chimpanzee from her father. Her passion grew as she read books featuring Tarzan and Dr Dolittle. In 1957, she fulfilled her childhood dream by joining Dr Louis Leakey in Africa to study chimpanzees in their natural habitat.(Goodall 1934年出生于伦敦，她曾表示对动物的热爱源于父亲赠送的玩具黑猩猩。在阅读《人猿泰山》和《杜立特医生》系列书籍后，这份热情愈发深厚。1957年，她如愿加入路易斯·利基博士的非洲研究团队，实现了童年时期在自然栖息地研究黑猩猩的梦想。)”可知，Goodall因童年时黑猩猩玩具和动物题材书籍萌发对动物的爱，之后便投入黑猩猩的研究与环境保护，因此可推知她是一个对动物充满热情的人；再根据文章最后一段“In 2021, Goodall published “The Book of Hope: A Survival Guide for an Endangered Planet”, in which she admitted to sometimes feeling like she was fighting a losing battle, but explained how she kept going. “I’m not going to give in,” she said. “I’ll die fighting—that’s for sure.” (在2021年出版的《希望之书：濒危星球生存指南》中，她坦言时常感到自己在进行一场必败之战，但解释道：“我绝不会屈服，必将战斗至生命最后一刻——这是确定的。”)”可知，Goodall坦言会战斗到生命最后一刻，故可推知她是一个坚定的人。故选C。 Passage 2 （25-26高二上·湖北鄂东南省级示范高中教育教学改革联盟·期中）Born into a family with a deep passion for nature, Bindi Irwin has become a globally recognized wildlife conservationist, following in the remarkable footsteps of her father, the legendary “Crocodile Hunter” Steve Irwin.

Then he smiled meanly, held his right leg, and copied how Amy walked with a limp. Amy closed her eyes. “Ignore him.” she told herself, heading to class. By day’s end, she still thought about his teasing. Since third grade, someone had made fun of her every day — about her speech or limp from cerebral palsy. Even in a full classroom, it made her lonely. At dinner that night, Amy was quiet. Her mom Patti shared exciting news: a radio Christmas wish contest — write to Santa for a prize. “You, with blonde curls, should join.” her mom said. Amy laughed, then smiled at an idea. She took pencil and paper, starting, “Dear Santa Claus, …” While Amy wrote, her family guessed her wish: her sister Jamie and mom thought a 3-foot Barbie, her dad a picture book. But Amy kept it secret. Her letter read: “I’m Amy, 9. Kids laugh at how I walk, run, talk. I have cerebral palsy. I just want one day without teasing.” At Indiana’s WJLT radio, many letters arrived. Manager Lee Tobin read Amy’s letter, knowing cerebral palsy confused her classmates. He called the local paper. Next day, Amy’s photo and letter were on the News Sentinel front page. The story spread nationwide. Soon, mail flooded her home — greetings and encouragement from across the U.S. Over 2,000 people worldwide sent support; some had disabilities, some were teased as kids. Amy felt less lonely. She got her wish: a teasing-free day at South Wayne Elementary. Teachers and students talked about how bad teasing is. That year, Fort Wayne’s mayor named December 21st “Amy Jo Hagadorn Day”, saying “Everyone deserves respect, dignity and kindness.” 1.What did the fifth-grader do after bumping into Amy? A.

In addition to a lot of old iPhones and cans, Edgar collected enough recyclables to earn around 30 dollars every few weeks, which he would donate to nonprofits. Recently, Edgar began noticing that the top-littered areas in his park were becoming few and far between. At one point, he spent four hours moving around the park and only returned with two buckets.

After I put it down, he said, plainly: “Now I will teach you how to make it beautiful.” I felt my breath catch. Growing up in Singapore, I had an uneasy relationship with my Chinese name. My parents are ethnically Chinese but they didn’t speak Mandarin. Unfamiliar with Chinese characters, they used fortune tellers to decide my name based on the ideal number of strokes (笔画) for each character, which was calculated for the best fortune. Chinese names can be truly poetic. Not mine. Embarrassingly, the characters for my Chinese name mean, roughly, “old,” “barley” and “warm.” My personal and cultural histories were messy knots. When I arrived in America for college at 18, I embraced critical analysis and creative expression. It felt like a way to abandon the strict formalities that defined my early years in Singapore’s high-pressure education system, and with it, perhaps, parts of my identity. Suddenly, I felt the need to present myself in a way that Americans would accept. I put on an American accent and set aside my Chinese name. Ultimately, after 14 years in the States, I decided to learn calligraphy. Why not get back in touch with my heritage? I thought. In calligraphy, the idea is to replicate (复制) the old masters’ techniques, thereby enhancing your own. Every week, my teacher would evaluate my writing. “You need to be braver,” he once observed. “Your challenge is in producing a bold stroke.” For years, I had prided myself on developing an image of integration and confidence despite deep insecurities, but my writing betrayed me. I had been learning calligraphy to try to get in touch with my cultural roots, but what I was really seeking was a return to myself. That first lesson came with the terrific promise that what had been shameful in myself could be made beautiful—and that I could be the one to do that work. I know now that what calligraphy teaches me is not the value of replication but the possibility that I could know myself more fully. 1.What criterion guided the selection of the author’s Chinese name? A. Poetic sound patterns. B. Ideal symbolic images. C. Favorable stroke counts. D. Positive literal meanings. 2.Why did the author adopt an American accent? A. To break with tradition. B. To fit into the community. C. To achieve academic success. D. To facilitate language learning. 3.What have we learned about the author’s experience with calligraphy? A. It revealed her inner self. B. It improved her public image. C. It presented no challenge to her. D. It enhanced her replication skills. 4.What has the author learned from calligraphy? A. Fortune favors the bold. B. Embrace who you truly are. C. Our roots define our identity. D. Planning is good, but doing is better. 【答案】1. C　2. B　3. A　4. B 【解析】【导语】 这是一篇记叙文。本文讲述了作者在书法练习的过程中，慢慢找到自我，认识自我，重塑自我概念。 (1)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第二段“Unfamiliar with Chinese characters, they used fortune tellers to decide my name based on the ideal number of strokes (笔画) for each character, which was calculated for the best fortune.(由于不熟悉汉字，他们让算命先生根据每个汉字的理想笔画数来决定我的名字，这是为最好的运气而计算的)”可知，作者的中文名是父母基于笔画的数量，取吉祥福气之意。故选C。 (2)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第三段“Suddenly, I felt the need to present myself in a way that Americans would accept.

It was after I met with an advertisement in a newspaper looking for people to join a team to ski 350 miles to the North Pole. Back in 1996, there had never been a woman from the UK who had accomplished this challenge. I wondered what it would be like to survive in temperatures cold enough to freeze your flesh in seconds, so I sent off the application form. The application form full of pictures of male explorers arrived. The words “Are you man enough for the ultimate (极限的) challenge?” made me angry and even more determined to join the team. Over 500 individuals applied for a place in the team, and the selection process included physical and psychological tests designed to pick the best group. In one test, there was a huge rope ladder we had to climb, and I froze at the top because I have a fear of heights. I thought my hopes were fading as most other applicants sailed past, leaving me behind. But two others helped me over, and later I found out that the organizers were not looking for amazing individuals, but great team players, and this moment had shown them who would take care of others in the team. I had revealed my weakness, and in a place like the Arctic, you have to be yourself, as there is nowhere to hide. These personalities of seeking for help and showing weakness are necessary for women to master. I realized that by being myself, I could succeed. I was eventually selected for the team. I got to be aware that I could achieve more than I ever imagined-more importantly, by sharing my story with others, I could inspire them to take a step into the new world and reveal more of their abilities. 1.What was the author’s reaction to the advertisement? A. She got annoyed. B. She was indifferent. C. She got scared. D. She was determined. 2.What did the organizers regard as the most significant about selecting new hands? A. Character. B. Individual capability. C. Spirit of cooperation. D. Bravery to challenge. 3.What does the author think of women’s displaying weakness? A. Shameful. B. Beneficial. C. Inappropriate. D. Disappointing. 4.What’s the author’s purpose of writing this text? A. To motivate us to prepare for our ambition. B. To recommend women to seek for help. C. To encourage people to explore the unknown. D. To provide guidance for her team members. 【答案】1. D　2. C　3. B　4.

She smiles a lot. Her manner is kind and motherly; pushed to name her profession, you might guess at nurse or teacher. But look closer. Easthope is an emergency planner whose job is to support the survivors of major disasters, in which capacity she acted following the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami and the fire at Grenfell Tower. For two decades, the public knew nothing about this vital work, which went on behind the scenes, though she was hugely admired in what we might call professional disaster circles: a voice of calm and a fountain of wisdom. But in 2023, she published a best-selling book about her career, When the Dust Settles, and that changed. People became very interested in what she did. “At literary festivals, most authors get questions about their writing process,” Easthope says. “But I wouldn’t get those. What people wanted from me was to know how I lived with the knowledge that I have. Wasn’t I afraid? How did I handle it? I would tell them that I didn’t live afraid, and I would give them basic advice. But this wasn’t enough.” In the end, she felt she had no choice but to write a second book, one in which she would try to cover all that she has learned for the benefit of each individual. While her publisher describes Come What May as a road map for resilience (韧性), the word is one Easthope dislikes. Ready, she suggests, is a better one. Easthope also reminds people that small things, like losing hair during illness or consuming too much food after someone dies, still matter. She encourages people to remember, not to forget, what happened during disasters, because such events leave a long-lasting effect. 1.What might a Cassandra be like according to paragraph 1? A. Friendly and energetic. B. Competent and cautious. C. Cheerful and easy-going. D. Serious and unapproachable. 2.What led to increased public awareness of Easthope’s work in 2023? A. The publication of a best seller. B. Her involvement in 2004 tsunami relief. C. The growth of professional disaster circles. D. Her sudden rise to fame through media. 3.Why are readers’ questions cited in paragraph 3? A. To reveal Easthope’s personal fears. B. To explain Easthope’s writing process. C. To showcase Easthope’s writing motivation. D. To present public doubts about Easthope’s work. 4.What does Easthope agree on handling disasters? A. Forgetting aids recovery. B. Resilience matters most. C. Positive thinking takes the lead. D. Minor sufferings deserve attention. 【答案】1. D　2. A　3. C　4. D 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了紧急事务规划师露西·伊斯特霍普及其工作，描述了她如何从幕后走向公众视野，通过写书分享应对灾难的知识，并阐述了她对灾后恢复及关注微小痛苦的见解。 (1)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第一段“At first sight, Easthope doesn’t seem much like a Cassandra (希腊神话人物). She smiles a lot. Her manner is kind and motherly; pushed to name her profession, you might guess at nurse or teacher. But look closer.(乍一看，伊斯特霍普似乎不太像一位卡珊德拉(希腊神话人物)。她经常微笑。她的举止和蔼，像母亲一样；要你猜她的职业，你可能会猜是护士或老师。但是再仔细看)” 这里提到伊斯特霍普给人的表面印象是“微笑很多”、“和蔼可亲”，但这与“卡珊德拉”给人的感觉不同，因此暗示“卡珊德拉”的形象可能与伊斯特霍普给人的亲切、随和的第一印象相反，即可能比较“严肃、不易接近”。故选D项。 (2)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第二段中“But in 2023, she published a best-selling book about her career, When the Dust Settles, and that changed. People became very interested in what she did.(但在2023年，她出版了一本关于她职业生涯的畅销书《尘埃落定》，情况就此改变。人们开始对她的工作非常感兴趣)”可知，2023年公众对她工作的认知度提升，直接原因是一本畅销书的出版。故选A项。 (3)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第三段““At literary festivals, most authors get questions about their writing process,” Easthope says. “But I wouldn’t get those.
