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·四川广安华蓥中学·期中）Last weekend, I took my 4-year-old grandson Oliver to the park. He had been pestering (纠缠) me to take him to the park to watch the ducks in the pond; I finally realized his wish. I went in thinking I’d be the teacher to teach him about the ducks, but that day, Oliver ended up teaching me more. He had no goals. 4-year-olds don’t need goals. As soon as we stepped 50 feet into the park, Oliver looked up at the sky, where big soft clouds moved slowly. He stood still, smiling, and found real joy in watching them. I’d long forgotten clouds’ magic: My mind was filled with things to do, but watching their slow movement could be soothing and reduce my worries and nervousness. Next, Oliver focused on the big trees, laughing as their branches shook in the wind. When a small bird jumped on the grass, he ran after it, laughing as though it were the funniest thing in the world. In that moment, nothing else mattered to him. His curiosity never disappeared, especially when it came to fallen leaves. He hunted for them, big and small, treating each one like a treasure. He only saw them as tools for play. No screens or toys were needed. Nearby, kids played with their parents, and dog walkers passed by. Oliver waved at everyone, holding out his hand for high fives with 4-and 5-year-olds, who smiled and said hi back. His mix of real words and kid talk didn’t stop him — he just wanted to connect, without judgment, or fear. The biggest lesson hit me then: live in the moment. He never asked the time, when we’d leave, or what would be next. Whether he was running after sticks, petting a dog, or running across the grass, he was entirely in the moment. That hour with Oliver reminded me of the wonder we lose as adults, and of many things we can learn from a child’s simple, unplanned joy. 1.Why did the author take Oliver to the park? A. To clean the park. B. To feed the ducks. C. To act as a teacher. D. To watch the ducks. 2.What does the underlined word “soothing” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Dangerous. B. Confusing. C. Comforting. D. Changeable. 3.What do we know about Oliver from paragraph 3? A. He was afraid of meeting people. B. He had fun playing toys in the park. C. He had a strong curiosity about fallen leaves. D. He didn’t get along well with other children in the park. 4.What can we learn from the text? A. Knowledge is power. B. Now is all that counts. C. Friendship comes from getting together. D. Nothing is more important than education. 主题语境02 人与社会-文学、艺术与体育 （25-26高一上·四川内江第六中学·期中）You don’t get a second chance to make a first impression — this was the theme of this year’s International Public Speaking Competition (IPSC), held in London from May 11 to 12. Thirty-three young speakers aged 16 to 20 from around the world gathered at The English Speaking Union to tell their stories, including Wu Dongxu, 19, a student from China. “Rather than a competition, the experience was more like an inspiring research trip to me, allowing me to see firsthand the differences and similarities between Chinese and foreign cultures,” said Wu. Apart from the obvious differences in food, transportation and climate, what impressed Wu most was the different styles of Chinese and foreign public speaking. Although still a teen, Wu is no stranger to the public speaking podium (讲台). He has participated in many speaking competitions since 2017. But on the stage of the IPSC, speakers had no podium to stand behind. They just had to face the audience. “This was the first time that I had given a speech without a podium, which made me realize how important eye contact and body language are,” said Wu. “It also gave me more freedom to convey (表达) more information with my body language instead of just with words.” Another difference that caught Wu’s attention was the evaluation criteria (评价标准). According to him, in every speaking competition he had participated in in China, things like pronunciation, fluency and quality of language are always important. But to his surprise, in the IPSC, accents and grammatical mistakes are not considered in the evaluation process. It is the story itself that matters most. “Audiences are eager to hear powerful stories, no matter where they are from,” said Wu. “Diversity, respect, tolerance and understanding — these are what the IPSC really wants to stress and spread.” 1.What is the topic of this year’s IPSC? A. Cultural difference. B. First impression. C. Body language. D. English education. 2.What left Wu Dongxu the deepest impression? A. The food culture. B. The transportation means. C. The climate. D. The public speaking style. 3.What can we learn about the IPSC? A. Speakers are allowed to use podiums. B. Body language plays an important part. C. Pronunciation and fluency matter a lot. D. Language quality is considered the most important. 4.What is Wu Dongxu’s attitude towards the IPSC? A. Positive. B. Doubtful. C. Objective. D. Unfavorable. 主题语境03 人与自我-做人与做事 Passage 1 （25-26高一上·四川遂宁中学·期中）At the age of 16, I lived with my parents at an institute 18 miles from Durban with no neighbors around. One day my father needed a ride to town for a meeting. Meanwhile, my mother gave a list of groceries and my father asked me to take care of several pending chores such as getting the car serviced. When I dropped my father off that morning, he said, “I will meet you here at 5:00 p.m., and we will go home together.” After hurriedly completing my chores, I went straight to the nearest movie theater. I got so engrossed that I forgot the time. By the time I ran to the garage and got the car and hurried to where my father was waiting for me, it was almost 6:00 p.m. He anxiously asked me, “Why were you late?” I was so ashamed of telling him I was watching a movie that I said, “The car wasn’t ready, so I had to wait,” not realizing that he had already called the garage. When he caught me in the lie, he said, “There’s something wrong in the way I brought you up that didn’t give you the confidence to tell me the truth. In order to figure out where I went wrong with you, I’m going to walk home 18 miles and think about it.” So, dressed in his suit and dress shoes, he began to walk home in the dark on mostly unpaved, unlit roads. I couldn’t leave him, so for five-and-a-half hours I drove behind him, watching my father go through this pain for a stupid lie that I uttered. I decided then and there that I was never going to lie again. I often think about that episode and wonder, if he had punished me the way we punish our children, whether I would have learned a lesson at all. I don’t think so. I would have suffered the punishment and gone on doing the same thing. But this single action was so powerful that it is still as if it had happened yesterday. 1.Why did the author drive to the town? A. To get the car replaced. B. To attend a meeting. C. To go for a ride. D. To give his father a lift. 2.How does his father respond to the writer’s lie? A. He gave comfort to the writer. B. He reconsidered his parenting. C. He punished the writer immediately. D. He called the garage right away. 3.How did the author feel when he drove behind his father? A. Regretful. B. Annoyed. C. Shocked. D. Confused. 4.What lesson can parents learn from this father’s approach? A. Thinking in children’s shoes is important. B. Taking no action on kids’ mistakes is helpful. C. Non-violent actions are useful and powerful. D. Spending more quality time is effective. Passage 2 （25-26高一上·四川阆中中学·期中）When I was nine years old, I loved to go fishing with my dad. But the only thing that wasn’t very fun about it was that he could catch many fish while I couldn’t catch anything. I usually got pretty upset and kept asking him why. He always answered, “Son, if you want to catch a fish, you have to think like a fish.” I remember being even more upset then because, “I’m not a fish!” I didn’t know how to think like a fish. Besides, I reasoned, how could what I think influence what a fish does? As I got a little older I began to understand what my dad really meant. So, I read some books on fish. And I even joined the local fishing club and started attending the monthly meetings. I learned that a fish is a cold-blooded animal and therefore is very sensitive to water temperature. That is why fish prefer shallow water to deep water because the former is warmer. Besides, water is usually warmer in direct sunlight than in the shade. Yet, fish don’t have any eyelids (眼皮) and the sun hurts their eyes... The more I understood fish, the more I became effective at finding and catching them When I grew up and entered the business world, I remember hearing my first boss say, “We all need to think like salespeople.” But it didn’t completely make sense. My dad never once said, “If you want to catch a fish you need to think like a fisherman.” What he said was, “You need to think like a fish.” Years later, with great efforts to promote long-term services to people much older and richer than me, I gradually learned what we all need is to think more like customers. It is not an easy job. I will show you how in the following chapters. 1.What did the author’s father really mean? A. To read about fish B. To learn fishing by oneself C. To understand what fish think D. To study fishing in many ways 2.According to the author, fish are most likely to be found _________. A. in deep water on sunny days B. in deep water on cloudy days C. in shallow water under sunlight D. in shallow water under waterside trees 3.After entering the business world, the author found _________. A. it easy to think like a customer B. his father’s fishing advice inspiring C. his first boss’s sales ideas reasonable D. it difficult to sell services to poor people 4.This passage most likely comes from _________. A. a fishing guide B. a popular sales book C. a novel on childhood D. a millionaire’s biography 主题语境04 人与自我-生活与学习 Passage 1 （25-26高一上·四川南充高中学·期中）Lisa has several fat family members, so she always believed she was sure to be fat.

Passage 2 （25-26高一上·四川成都铁路中学·期中）The pupils in Paula Merrigan’s kindergarten (幼儿园) class often call her Mom, or sometimes even Grandma, partly because Merrigan ensures all the children are greeted with a big smile when they enter the classroom in the morning. She works with every single one of them one-on-one at some point during the day, and she’s generous with praise, hugs, and affection. “When small children tell you they love you, say it back to them,” said the teacher. “It’s important for every child to feel their teacher cares about them and that school is always a secure (安全的) place to stay. When they know you truly care about them, they want to do their best for you, because they’re seeking your approval.” Merrigan also lets the children tell her their stories to learn what they’re passionate (热情的) about. “When you learn about certain things they like and tie them to your topic, they love it,” she said. “Maybe the children told you that they really like dinosaurs so when you’re teaching the letter ‘D’, you create a dinosaur art project to go with it.” Considering separation anxiety hits many youngsters hard when they enter the kindergarten classroom, how children feel at the beginning of their schooling can set the tone for the rest of their academic life, experts say. “This is important for little ones because this is often the first time that they’re experiencing formal education,” said Hedy Chang, executive director of Attendance Works, a nonprofit working to boost (促进) student attendance. “What happens during this time can help lay the foundation for social and academic success.” Researchers found students of all ages who miss an excessive amount of school often suffer from mental issues: They may need to feel nurtured, experts say. “To the degree that parents keep kids home from school because the kids say they don’t want to go,” said Deborah Stipek, an expert from Stanford University, “children’s relationship with the teacher should be an important factor.” Merrigan, who herself remembers faking being sick a few times as a child, couldn’t agree more. 1.Which of the following is NOT a way Merrigan uses to connect with children? A. Working one-on-one with each child. B. Giving praise, hugs, and affection. C. Letting children share their stories. D. Giving lots of homework to keep them busy. 2.What is Merrigan’s class like? A. Warm, supportive, and engaging. B. Comfortable, quiet and test-score-driven. C. Loving and teacher-centered. D. Caring and focused on personal work. 3.Why does Merrigan listen to her students’ personal stories? A. To learn about children’s behavior patterns. B. To help with exact grading and assessments (评价). C. To easily manage possible classroom differences. D. To make her students more focused on her lessons. 4.What is the best title for the passage? A. Managing Parental Separation Anxiety. B. attendance and Academic (学业的) Achievement. C. Creative Kindergarten Teaching Methods. D. Developing Emotional Connections in Kindergartens. Passage 3 （25-26高一上·四川内江第六中学·期中）Whenever I think of Ms. Anita Moore, I always smile and feel fortunate to have her as my teacher. All of her students knew she loved being a teacher. Her classroom was always a safe place where we were encouraged to share, think, and express ourselves. One of the memories that always stuck with me was a reading class when Ms. Moore read a story aloud and started to cry. The main character in the story reminded her of her grandmother. She paused to share about her relationship with her grandmother and made the connection as to how that relationship helped understand the story. Ms. Moore tried her best to make a connection with each student in her classroom. She knew what we liked and used that information to bring our interests into the classroom. She brought various types of books to our classroom and allowed us to take them home. It was she that helped my love for reading grow. Ms. Moore also went beyond classroom instruction. She decided that our school should have a choir and that all of her students should audition. Without her, I would never have taken part in this type of after-school activity. Once it was time for the annual 5th-grade weekend camping trip, my parents refused to let me attend. Ms. Moore came to my home to persuade them. Ms. Moore was a wonderful example of a caring teacher.

Despite the challenges he faced, his life and music continue to inspire millions. Born in the small town of Lajatico, Italy, Bocelli suffered from serious eye problems from a young age, and a football accident eventually caused him to lose his sight completely. However, he never gave up his dream of becoming a musician. He trained under famous teachers, performed in local theaters, and turned his blindness into a strength that deepened his connection to music. In 1992, Bocelli’s big break came when Italian rock star Zucchero Fornaciari invited him to sing for the song Miserere. The collaboration (合作) was a turning point in his career. The song became a smash in Europe and earned him a lot of fans. What set Bocelli apart from many other classical singers was that he was able to combine pop music with opera and make his audience relate to his music. His 1997 album Romanza became one of the best-selling albums of all time and his career took off in ways that no opera singers had experienced before. Bocelli brought opera to ordinary people. His music touched listeners from all walks of life — from art lovers to blue-collar workers. Moreover, Bocelli devoted himself to charity. His foundation, the Andrea Bocelli Foundation (ABF), was established in 2011 with the goal of fighting poverty (贫穷) and social isolation (孤立) through the power of music and education. The foundation has provided scholarships, supported medical care, and funded music programs for poor children around the world. 1.Which of the following words can describe Bocelli? A. Brave and humorous. B. Proud and independent. C. Creative and careful. D. Determined and generous 2.What does the underlined word “smash” in paragraph 3 mean? A. A great success. B. A sudden attack.

His international fame. 4.What is the main purpose of this passage? A. To compare opera and pop music. B. To show a singer’s love for music. C. To share an inspiring life story. D. To promote a charity foundation. Passage 2 （25-26高一上·四川内江市第一中学·期中）A man sat at a subway station in Washington D. C. and started to play the violin; it was a cold January morning. He played six pieces for about 45 minutes. During that time, because it was rush hour, 1,100 people went through the station, most of them on their way to work. Three minutes went by, and a middle-aged man noticed there was a musician playing. A few minutes later, someone leaned against the wall to listen to him. They stopped for a few seconds, and then hurried up to meet their schedule. The one who paid the most attention was a 3-year-old boy. His mother followed him along, hurriedly, but the kid stopped to look at the violinist. Finally, the mother pushed hard, and the child continued to walk, turning his head all the time. This was repeated by several other children. All the parents, without exception, forced them to move on. In the 45 minutes the musician played, only 6 people stopped and stayed for a while. About 20 gave him money, but continued to walk at their normal pace. He collected $32 when he finished playing and silence took over, no one noticed it. No one applauded (鼓掌), nor was there any recognition. No one knew this, but the violinist was Joshua Bell, one of the most gifted musicians in the world. He had just played one of the most beautiful pieces ever written, on a violin worth 3.5 million dollars. Two days before his playing in the subway, Joshua Bell sold out at a theater in Boston where the seats averaged $100. This is a real story. Joshua Bell’s playing in the subway station was organized by the Washington Post as part of a social experiment. One of the possible conclusions from this experience could be: If we do not have a moment to stop and listen to one of the best musicians in the world playing the best music ever written, how many other things are we missing? 1.Why did few people stop to listen to Joshua Bell playing? A. They were busy. B. The weather was not good. C. They were not interested in music. D. The performance was not good enough. 2.What did the parents do when children stopped to look at the violinist?

They would ask them to continue walking. 3.Why did Joshua Bell play in the subway station? A. To make more money. B. To practise his skills in playing music. C. To make an advertisement for his concert. D. To find out people’s reaction under a condition. 4.What is the purpose of the text? A. To show us how to play music. B. To encourage us to think about our life. C. To report a subway performance. D. To tell us the importance of music. 主题语境02 人与社会-科学与技术 （25-26高一上·四川眉山中学·期中）Every year vaccines (疫苗) save around five million lives globally. Unfortunately, most vaccines need to be kept cool to stop them from going off. This makes it difficult to transport them to remote areas, because if they get too warm they won’t work. This is what Dr Asel Sartbaeva has been attempting to solve. As a child, Asel Sartbaeva always looked up to scientists like Michael Faraday and Marie Curie. When she studied at Cambridge University, she met an award-winning physicist called Brian Josephson. “My jaw dropped,” she said, “It felt like a ‘big thing’ for me to be working in the same place as scientists I had looked up to for so long.” In 2010, when taking her daughter to be vaccinated, she noticed the doctor had kept the vaccines in the fridge. Later she found that there were places around the world where vaccines couldn’t be delivered because they couldn’t be refrigerated (冷藏) for the whole journey — meaning some people miss out on getting vaccines. Sartbaeva wanted to invent a way to keep vaccines stable at all temperatures, so she came up with ensilication (硅化法) to improve their stability. Over the next few years, Sartbaeva and her team have tested out different ways to see if the ensilicated vaccines can be kept stable when they’re out of the fridge. One of these experiments involved sending vaccines in the post from Bath to Newcastle. The journey is more than 300 miles, which can take a day or two by post, but the vaccines were still safe to use when they arrived. In 2021, Sartbaeva was named a UNICEF Ambassador for Girls in Science Project. She designed experiments to get girls interested in the science-based subjects. “I hope they’ll encourage more girls to work in scientific field because we need more like them. Besides scientific and teaching work, I strive to bridge the gap between scientific innovations and the public, making them more accessible,” she said. 1.How did Sartbaeva feel when she met Brian Josephson? A. Embarrassed. B. Relieved. C. Scared. D. Honored. 2.What drove Sartbaeva to invent ensilication? A. Poor quality of vaccines. B. Vaccine instability without refrigeration. C. Her daughter’s unexpected illness. D. Children’s high demand for vaccines. 3.Why does the author mention the journey in paragraph 4? A. To show the effectiveness of ensilication. B. To emphasize the high cost of transportation. C. To compare different means of transportation. D. To explain the working principle of ensilication. 4.What can we know about Sartbaeva according to the last paragraph? A. She encourages girls to be UNICEF Ambassadors. B. She tries to clear the misunderstanding about women. C. She aims to popularize science among common people. D. She thinks females more talented than males in science. 主题语境03 人与自我-生活与学习 Passage 1 （25-26高一上·四川仁寿第一中学·期中）Everyone has that special person in their lives who act s like a role model to them. For many of us, including me, that person is our own mother. But in my case, there is another person who is my perfect mentor (导师) and friend. It’s Nana, my mum’s father. My Nana, since I was a kid, brought me up in the most unforgettable way possible, babying me by buying toys and presenting me with sweets and candies constantly and spending time with me, which created an everlasting bond between us. Fast-forward a couple of years, when I began to outgrow these toys or candies, Nana didn’t just stop there. He began taking me almost every weekend to the local club where he had a membership. It meant the world to me as I could do absolutely whatever I pleased there. Other than that, Nana would take me to many parks, especially when there was a flower show on or something of that sort. He was very enthusiastic about nature and spent hours around it, enjoying what it had to offer. Anyhow, his immense love didn’t end there... My Nana had grown older. Now he finds it hard to drive and walk too much, so he prefers to stay at home. What I do now is to try to give him company and talk to him mainly about his travels at sea, as he was a sailor, and the various countries he visited and how he spent his early years and about my school, etc. I’ll never be able to repay my Nana for all the kindness and comfort he gave to me.

As I walk toward the kitchen, I’m greeted by my mother standing over the cooker. She effortlessly cooks a dish that mixes Western and Eastern styles, a beloved breakfast classic in our family. This is my grandmother’s recipe (食谱). Since my grandmother’s passing, I’ve become more aware of my mother’s aging and her devotion to cooking for us. She has cooked for her family for more than 30 years, dividing her time between three countries — Korea, Canada and Germany. When my parents visit us from Korea, they stay with us for several months. My mother helps around the house, showing her cooking skills to provide delicious meals for me, my partner and our kids. In every other year, she and my dad will travel to Berlin to spend a couple of weeks with my sister and her partner. According to Statista, most Canadians report spending between 31 and 60 minutes preparing an average weekday dinner for themselves and others in their houses. Ten percent stated that they spend more than an hour preparing their evening meal. My mother belongs to that 10 percent. Her cooking goes beyond the kitchen, starting with careful grocery shopping trips where she examines produce and finds the best deals. She takes everyone’s preferences and needs into account. Helping her out in the kitchen requires a great deal of patience. Yet, I know it’s her way of expressing love. As I prepare the vegetables, she notices that my carrots are not evenly sized. She pushes me aside to take over the task. “Just do the dishes.” The meal she creates becomes a ritual (仪式), bringing the family together to connect and share. 1.What do we know about the author’s mother?

Passage 3 （25-26高一上·四川绵竹中学-上·期中）I met my husband in our early 20s when we worked together. We were both very ambitious and loved our jobs. But just after we got married, I became pregnant (怀孕的). For six years, I was a stay-at-home mum. I did enjoy it when the kids were little, but when they both started school, I began to feel bored and restless. So I got in touch with an old colleague and she offered me a job. However, my husband said that he earned enough salary so he couldn’t countenance that. He put lots of barriers (障碍) in my way. For example, he said that he wouldn’t be able to take any time off if the kids were off school. It’s not just about the income for me. But it’s more the sense of achievement that comes with working. I miss the jokes and the sense of achievement after a good day. I know it won’t be easy but I want to give it a try. So why is my husband so unsupportive? My friend, Coleen, says, “Because he’s incredibly selfish. I know exactly how you feel. I also got increasingly bored in my kitchen every day when my kids were at school so I went out and got a little part-time job in a shop. My husband didn’t like it at first either, but he soon got used to it. So stick to your goals. If he really insists and refuses to help you, then prove to him that you don’t need his help anyway.” 1.Why did the author want to find a job? A. She felt bored and restless. B. She was fed up with the housework. C. She wanted to make more money. D. She was tired of educating her kids. 2.What does the underlined word “countenance” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Avoid. B. Allow. C.

Passage 4 （25-26高一上·四川南充西充中学·期中）Where does our learning journey end? Is it after high school or university? Maybe it’s once we get comfortable in our jobs. Perhaps it’s after retirement (退休) when we can kick back and enjoy golden years of peace. Well, Tom Dercola, a 77-year-old retired high school teacher, shows that learning is a lifelong journey. 13 years after retirement, Dercola began taking courses offered through CMU’s English department. He felt his experience teaching the subject would make it easy to start with the subject matter. But what he found when he entered the classroom was more than he had expected. “I think back to my university days, when we learned Shakespeare, Chaucer, and what have you, and it didn’t mean a lot. It was writing the exam, reading the material (材料), getting it out of the way,” says Dercola. “Much of what the CMU professors were teaching was contemporary (当代的). It dealt with social problems, but it still fitted within the goals (目标) of that English course. It was very enjoyable.” Although education has been his life’s work, Dercola doesn’t see university as being the only means by which learning is done. He says he saw too many other retirees fall into unhealthy laziness after retirement. “When I retired from teaching, I had set some goals for myself. I wanted to work in a warehouse (货仓), so I went to Manitoba. Harvest and volunteered there for about eight years. I loved animals and volunteered with the Humane Society for about seven years. I wanted to get my health back, so I started working on walking, weightlifting, and exercise, and I achieved that. And for some strange reason, I wanted to be a DJ.” Dercola got on CJNU-FM in 2009 and has been producing a two-hour weekly program. There is a saying that Dercola usually says, “If you let the grass grow under your feet, pretty soon it’s going to grow over your head.” 1.What can we learn about Dercola? A. He is interested in ancient poetry. B. He worked at CMU before retirement. C. He used to teach English in high school. D. He started his after-retirement life in 2009. 2.What did Dercola find different about the courses he took? A. They placed a high value on reading. B. They required students to take special exams. C. They were mainly about great works of literature. D. They were more than just focusing on the language. 3.What does paragraph 7 mainly tell us? A. Dercola lives a colorful life after retirement. B. Dercola was interested in doing music as a child. C. Dercola has been in poor health since retirement. D. Dercola volunteered a lot to stay socially active. 4.What might Dercola say to his retired friends? A. There is always time for success. B. If you want time, you must make it. C. We must use time purposefully, not lazily. D. Time has a wonderful way of showing us what matters. Passage 5 （25-26·四川成都外国语学校·期中）Raised in a motherless home, my father was extremely tightfisted (吝啬的;小气的) towards us children. His attitude didn’t soften as I grew into adulthood and went to college. I had to ride the bus whenever I came home. Though the bus stopped about two miles from home, Dad never met me, even in severe weather. If I spoke unhappily, he’d say in his loudest father voice, “That’s what your legs are for!” The walk didn’t bother me as much as the fear of walking alone along the highway and country roads. I also felt less than valued that my father didn’t seem worried about my safety. But that feeling was canceled one spring evening. It had been a particularly difficult week at college after long hours in labs. I longed for home. When the bus reached the stop, I stepped off and dragged my suitcase to begin the long journey home. A row of hedges (树篱) edged the driveway that climbed the hill to our house. Once I had turned off the highway to start the last lap of my journey, I always had a sense of relief to see the hedges because it meant that I was almost home. On that particular evening, the hedges had just come into view when I saw something gray moving along the top of the hedges, moving toward the house. Upon closer observation, I realized it was the top of my father’s head. Then I knew, each time I’d come home, he had stood behind the hedges, watching, until he knew I had arrived safely. I swallowed hard against the tears. He did care, after all. On later visits, that spot of gray became my watchtower. I could hardly wait until I was close enough to watch for its secret movement above the greenery. Upon reaching home, I would find my father sitting innocently in his chair. “So, my son, it’s you!” he’d say, his face lengthening into pretended surprise. I replied, “Yes, Dad, it’s me. I’m home.” 1.What made the author feel upset was ________. A. the tiredness after long hours in labs B. the fear of seeing something moving C. the feeling of being less than valued D. the loneliness of riding the bus home 2.Based on the passage, which of the following best describes the father’s character? A. Tightfisted and cold B. Hardworking and brave C. Responsible and outgoing D. Strict and caring 3.Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. My Father’s Secret B. My College Life C. My Terrible Journey Home D. Riding the Bus Alone Passage 6 （25-26高一上·四川成都盐道街中学·期中）When I was a boy there were no smart phones, computers were something you saw on STAR TREK, and our television only got one channel clearly. Still, I was never bored. The fields, hills, and woodlands around my home were the perfect playgrounds whose adventures were only limited by my imagination. I can remember once hiking to a nearby lake and slowly walking around it. At the backside of it I was amazed to find an old, one lane, dirt road that I had never seen before. I immediately set out to travel it. It was full of muddy tire tracks and deep woods bordered it on both sides, but exploring it still seemed like a fine adventure. I walked on and on for what seemed like hours. I am sure my guardian angel was whispering in my ear to turn around and head back home but I was stubborn and even a bit stupid, so I walked on. The dirt road gave way to a gravel one and then a paved one, yet there was still neither a car nor a house in sight. My legs were getting tired. I noticed that the sun was starting to go down and I grew scared. I didn’t want to end up trapped on this road in the dark of night, but I was sure it would be dark before I could make my way back to the lake again. I continued to walk on with the something growing inside of me. My heart was pounding and my legs were aching. I was almost in tears when I turned one last curve and saw something in the distance. It was a house that I recognized. My heart leapt up! I jumped up and down and laughed out loud. I knew the way home! It was still over a mile away but my legs felt like feathers and I hurried back to my house. I walked in with a big smile on my face just in time for dinner. Then I ended my adventure with a good night’s sleep. I often thought of that experience recently. Actually, in our life, all roads, no matter how they twist and turn, can lead us home again. They can lead us to our homes here on Earth. They can lead us to our homes in our hearts. May you always walk your path with love. May you always help your fellow travelers along the way. And may your roads always lead you Home again. 1.Why did the author hardly feel bored when he was young? A. He could watch TV all day. B. He could have fun in nature. C.

He was unconscious of danger. C. He was worried to be trapped in the woods. D. He was afraid of being scolded by his parents. 3.What does the underlined word “something” in Paragraph 3 probably refer to? A. Doubt. B. Hope. C. Fear. D. Courage. 4.What may be the best title for the passage? A. Every Effort Is Worthwhile B. Be Brave to Explore C. Be Determined in Your Life D. All Roads Lead Home 主题语境04 人与自然-自然生态 （25-26高一上·四川成都树德中学·期中）Jim Savage was setting out for a day’s fishing off the Florida coast when he heard the cries of a baby dolphin in trouble. The three-month-old had got her tail caught in the ropes of an abandoned crab trap. Jim knew that if he left her, the dolphin would have little chance of survival. He cut her free and got in contact with the authorities. She was taken to Clear water Marine Aquarium, but her injuries were so severe that she lost her tail. The aquarium staff named the baby dolphin Winter and she gradually learned how to swim again. Unfortunately, because of the way she was moving in the water without her tail, she was in danger of developing a problem with her spine (脊椎). Kevin Carroll and Dan Strzempka, who ran a company making artificial limbs, heard about the problem and had a brilliant idea. Kevin and Dan told the staff at the aquarium that they would make an artificial (人造的) tail for Winter! There were a lot of challenges that Kevin and Dan had to deal with along the way, like trying to fit an artificial tail on a playful young dolphin that doesn’t want to stay still! It took over fifty prototypes (模型) and a year and a half before Winter finally got her new 30-inch tail. After seeing her swim with it for the first time, Kevin said that the months of hard work had been truly worth it. Making the tail was only half the story, though. For Winter to be able to swim properly, the artificial tail needed to be held in place without damaging her skin. Specialists came up with a soft material that firmly holds the skin and doesn’t hurt. Designed especially for Winter, this material was so successful that “WintersGel” is now being used to make artificial limbs more comfortable for people with false arms and legs all around the world. In 2011 the tale (故事) was made into a film, “Dolphin Tale”, starring Winter herself. It’s about a dolphin that would have died, but survived because a few people cared. 1.What do we know about Jim? A. He worked at an aquarium. B. He freed a dolphin from a trap. C. He injured a dolphin accidentally. D. He kept a baby dolphin for three months. 2.What did Kevin and Dan decide to do according to paragraph 2? A. Teach Winter to swim. B. Set up a branch company. C. Help straighten Winter’s spine. D. Make a man-made tail for Winter. 3.Which of the following words can best describe Kevin and Dan’s work in paragraph 3? A. Dangerous. B. Imaginative. C. Interesting. D. Difficult. 4.What could be the best title for the text? A. A tale of a tail. B. A lesson from a dolphin. C. An important survival skill. D. A chance encounter with a dolphin. 主题语境01 人与社会-历史、社会与文化 Passage 1 （25-26高一上·四川自贡市第一中学·期中）When I was nine years old, I never dreamed that the small vending machine (自动售货机) I had owned would turn me into a small business owner. Wanting to inspire his daughter’ s business sense, my dad brought home a vending machine he had purchased from a friend. Setting it down in front of me in our living room, he asked in all seriousness, “Do you want to start a business?” I said yes. I owned 15 vending machines by the time I left high school, with all of the profits going toward my college fund. In addition to being a great bonding experience for my family, I couldn't tell you how many skills I learned from starting and developing my own business that helped me gain responsibility. I learned that not every experience in life led to the comforting encouragement: Well, you were tried. You should face bravely all kinds of difficulties. Understanding both personal and professional finances is one of the most important life lessons to learn—the earlier, the better. I had to be fearless and confident—learning these skills at a young age saved me from speaking with difficulty through presentations later in life. Truly understanding what you’re selling displays confidence and reliability, as does truly believing in it. Comprehending the ins and outs of your product and business shines through when speaking with clients though rejection (拒绝) happens all the time. Throughout the unbelievable experience of running my own business in my childhood, I’ve learned valuable skills that help me in my school, job and personal life. I believe in the value of customer service. I go after clients and chances and understand that sometimes things don’t go my way. With the help of my parents and customers who supported me, I grew up as a young entrepreneur with skills to keep for the rest of my life. 1.Why did the author’s dad give her a vending machine? A.

That’s the story floating around after Simon Kruger, a 7-year-old boy, was rescued from Australia’s Deep Creek Conservation Park. According to Australia’s 7 News, the saga began when Simon wandered off after the family ate a picnic lunch. Apparently, the lost boy drifted away to pick flowers for his mom. Instead, he got hopelessly lost and without adequate warm clothing to stay out overnight in the forest. A police search, including helicopters, followed. But Simon wasn’t found for 24 hours – even though he was ultimately discovered only about half a kilometer from the family’s campsite. His father Etienne Kruger thinks his son was disoriented when the rain and wind swept in after he got lost. However, it happened. Simon wasn’t found for almost a full 24 hours. The overnight weather was cold and wet, dropping to a low of around 43 degrees Fahrenheit. So how did the lost boy survive the cold, wet night? The family said that Simon’s flowers for his mom attracted a kangaroo. His dad explained, “A kangaroo came closer to him and ate the flowers from him, and the kangaroo fell asleep next to him. I think God sent a kangaroo to keep him warm.” 1.The purpose of the writer is to ________.

Passage 3 （25-26高一上·四川阆中中学·期中）Most people in their eighties would consider themselves lucky not to have health problems, but this is not the case with Toshisuke Kanazawa. The 82-year-old Japanese bodybuilder is not only in perfect physical condition, he also looks better than a lot of men a quarter his age. Kanazawa is living proof that you’re never too old to hit the gym and achieve the body you’ve always dreamed of. A champion bodybuilder in his youth, Kanazawa stopped exercising completely after he retired at age 34, drinking, smoking and eating whatever he liked. It wasn’t until he turned 50 that he got his motivation (动力) to regain the perfect body of his younger years. Kanazawa’s wife felt sick frequently, and the former bodybuilder remembered that she had never been happier than when he won the national championship. So to please her, he decided to return to the gym and completely change his diet. His workout schedule had to be adjusted to his age as well. In his youth, he would spend up to six hours training in the gym every day, and his body would recover within two days after a particularly intensive workout, but that was not the case anymore. He cut the daily gym time to three hours and started giving his body one week to recover after exercising every muscle group. Kanazawa’s efforts paid off. In 2016, at the age of 80, Kanazawa defeated many opponents and placed sixth in the world in a contest for bodybuilders over 65, and won the admiration of the crowd. Sport keeps this elderly man healthy, as he claims not to have suffered so much as a cold since he started bodybuilding again at age 50. “I want to be a super old man in the bodybuilder community,” Kanazawa said, “If I have a goal, I can continue moving forward. I have to work much harder.” 1.What can we learn about Kanazawa from paragraph 2? A. He started bodybuilding at the age of 34. B. He developed an unhealthy lifestyle after he retired. C. He had serious health problems in his youth. D. He seldom exercised when he was young. 2.Why did Kanazawa decide to take up exercise again? A. To cheer up his wife. B. To help change his diet. C. To stand to his promise. D. To recover from illness. 3.What did old Kanazawa do while rebuilding his body? A. He went on a diet. B. He turned to the doctor for advice. C. He combined relaxation with exercise. D. He spent up to six hours training every day. 4.What can be the best title for the text? A. Bodybuilding: No Age Limit B. Champion: The Result of Workout C.

After graduating from high school, I moved to Los Angeles. I earned a degree in video production there. Fortune smiled upon me as I quickly worked as a production helper. I was young and ambitious, doing my best in my dream work. One day, I worked as a volunteer at an award show. A production manager talked with me and said that I was going to be a “big fish” one day. I was praised, but frightened. I wasn’t sure whether I could bear the pressure of being a “big fish”. Not too long after the show, I was laid off from my position at the production company. I went back home to Florida to think about my next career move. In Florida, I found a job in a financial company. The pay was good, and the work was not difficult. But a few months later, my creative spirit sent an SOS to my brain. It reminded me that I wasn’t making the best use of my talents. I didn’t have the money to make another cross-country move back to Los Angeles, but I couldn’t wait to create something. I did some creative writing during my spare time. To motivate myself even further, I promised myself a children’s storybook. My goal didn’t end there, however. I also decided to get the book published. It was not easy, and I continued sending out my work for nearly four years. Finally my work attracted the interest of a publisher. When I held a copy of my beautiful children’s book in my hands, I felt really happy from the bottom of my heart. I may not have become a big fish, but I did achieve a goal. Success comes from efforts. When you have something to fight for, you’re not far from success. 1.The author went to Los Angeles to ______.

My mum began the painful yet necessary task of sorting through her belongings. “Is there anything you want from grandma’s flat?” Mum texted me. “Her aloe (芦荟), please.” I required zero thinking time. Sometime around 1975, Grandma, always believing good things would happen in the future, received this plant as a gift, which she appreciated and placed in her doorway. It came from the local butcher. Five years later, my mum married the butcher’s son and had me. Grandma revealed to me this particular plant was a living relationship between the two families. And so was I. Recently, whenever we visited Grandma’s flat, I attempted to fix this concept in my children’s minds. “That was a gift your great-grandma bought your other great-grandma! It’s older than me!” Then my kids would nod and ask Grandma for a sweet. Numerous times, Grandma gave me cuttings or clippings of the plant, hoping I might raise my own and continue the legend. Yet, every time, my new branch died with my awful gardening skills. But that didn’t used to matter, because I could turn to Grandma, who would wait and accept my disturbance without becoming upset. Then I got another clipping and tried again. But now I can’t. So, I decided that the plant will go and live with Ann, my mother-in-law, who is a genius with a greenhouse. The plan is for Ann to keep hold of the original plant. In time, she can teach me how to deal with its cuttings properly, and then maybe one day I can settle the plant in my place. In the meantime, Ann will allocate (分配) clippings among my relatives, as Grandma used to do. My wife’s two sisters, for example, are both better at tending plants than I am, so it is quite imaginable that they, too, will offer cuttings of the plant to their partners, spreading this loving plant across my entire extended family. 1.Why did the author want his grandma’s aloe? A. He wanted to pass it down to others. B. He showed a preference for gardening. C. He had a pleasant memory of the plant. D. He received it as a gift from his grandma. 2.Which of the following best describes the author’s grandma? A. Optimistic and patient. B. Generous and helpful. C. Honest and fashionable. D. Humorous and skillful. 3.The author took the aloe to his mother-in-law to A. display his skills in gardening B. have the plant better cared for C. announce his grandma’s death D. protect the plant from dying out 4.What may be the best title for the text? A. Aloe: my family bond B. Aloe: a mysterious plant C. Grandma: my life coach D.

He had been pestering (纠缠) me to take him to the park to watch the ducks in the pond; I finally realized his wish. I went in thinking I’d be the teacher to teach him about the ducks, but that day, Oliver ended up teaching me more. He had no goals. 4-year-olds don’t need goals. As soon as we stepped 50 feet into the park, Oliver looked up at the sky, where big soft clouds moved slowly. He stood still, smiling, and found real joy in watching them. I’d long forgotten clouds’ magic: My mind was filled with things to do, but watching their slow movement could be soothing and reduce my worries and nervousness. Next, Oliver focused on the big trees, laughing as their branches shook in the wind. When a small bird jumped on the grass, he ran after it, laughing as though it were the funniest thing in the world. In that moment, nothing else mattered to him. His curiosity never disappeared, especially when it came to fallen leaves. He hunted for them, big and small, treating each one like a treasure. He only saw them as tools for play. No screens or toys were needed. Nearby, kids played with their parents, and dog walkers passed by. Oliver waved at everyone, holding out his hand for high fives with 4-and 5-year-olds, who smiled and said hi back. His mix of real words and kid talk didn’t stop him — he just wanted to connect, without judgment, or fear. The biggest lesson hit me then: live in the moment. He never asked the time, when we’d leave, or what would be next. Whether he was running after sticks, petting a dog, or running across the grass, he was entirely in the moment. That hour with Oliver reminded me of the wonder we lose as adults, and of many things we can learn from a child’s simple, unplanned joy. 1.Why did the author take Oliver to the park? A. To clean the park. B. To feed the ducks. C. To act as a teacher. D. To watch the ducks. 2.What does the underlined word “soothing” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Dangerous. B. Confusing. C. Comforting. D. Changeable. 3.What do we know about Oliver from paragraph 3? A. He was afraid of meeting people. B. He had fun playing toys in the park. C. He had a strong curiosity about fallen leaves. D. He didn’t get along well with other children in the park. 4.What can we learn from the text? A. Knowledge is power. B. Now is all that counts. C. Friendship comes from getting together. D. Nothing is more important than education. 【答案】1. D　2. C　3. C　4. B 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇记叙文。讲述了作者带孙子去公园玩的经历。 (1)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第一段“He had been pestering (纠缠) me to take him to the park to watch the ducks in the pond; I finally realized his wish.(他一直缠着我，要我带他去公园看池塘里的鸭子；我最终实现了他的愿望)”可知，Oliver一直缠着作者带他去公园看池塘里的鸭子，作者最终满足了他的愿望。故选D项。 (2)题解析： 词句猜测题。根据前文“He stood still, smiling, and found real joy in watching them. I’d long forgotten clouds’ magic: My mind was filled with things to do(他站着不动，面带微笑，从看着他们身上找到了真正的快乐。我早就忘记了云的魔力：我的脑子里满是要做的事情)”以及之后的转折以及后文“and reduce my worries and nervousness(减少我的担忧和紧张)”可知，划线单词和“减少我的担忧和紧张”并列，表达同样的意思，推知，应是“放松”之意，和C项意思相近。故选C项。 (3)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第三段“His curiosity never disappeared, especially when it came to fallen leaves. He hunted for them, big and small, treating each one like a treasure.(他的好奇心从未消失，尤其是对落叶的好奇。他到处寻找，无论大小，把每一个都当作珍宝)”可知，Oliver对落叶有着强烈的好奇心。故选C项。 (4)题解析： 推理判断题。根据最后一段“The biggest lesson hit me then: live in the moment. He never asked the time, when we’d leave, or what would be next. Whether he was running after sticks, petting a dog, or running across the grass, he was entirely in the moment. That hour with Oliver reminded me of the wonder we lose as adults, and of many things we can learn from a child’s simple, unplanned joy.(我从中得到的最大教训是：活在当下。他从来没有问过时间，我们什么时候离开，或者接下来要做什么。无论他是在追树枝、抚摸狗，还是在草地上奔跑，他都完全沉浸在当下。和Oliver在一起的那一小时让我想起了我们作为成年人所失去的奇迹，也让我想起了我们可以从一个孩子简单的、计划外的快乐中学到很多东西)”可知，作者领悟到最重要的一点：要活在当下。故选B项。 主题语境02 人与社会-文学、艺术与体育 （25-26高一上·四川内江第六中学·期中）You don’t get a second chance to make a first impression — this was the theme of this year’s International Public Speaking Competition (IPSC), held in London from May 11 to 12. Thirty-three young speakers aged 16 to 20 from around the world gathered at The English Speaking Union to tell their stories, including Wu Dongxu, 19, a student from China. “Rather than a competition, the experience was more like an inspiring research trip to me, allowing me to see firsthand the differences and similarities between Chinese and foreign cultures,” said Wu. Apart from the obvious differences in food, transportation and climate, what impressed Wu most was the different styles of Chinese and foreign public speaking. Although still a teen, Wu is no stranger to the public speaking podium (讲台). He has participated in many speaking competitions since 2017. But on the stage of the IPSC, speakers had no podium to stand behind. They just had to face the audience. “This was the first time that I had given a speech without a podium, which made me realize how important eye contact and body language are,” said Wu. “It also gave me more freedom to convey (表达) more information with my body language instead of just with words.” Another difference that caught Wu’s attention was the evaluation criteria (评价标准). According to him, in every speaking competition he had participated in in China, things like pronunciation, fluency and quality of language are always important. But to his surprise, in the IPSC, accents and grammatical mistakes are not considered in the evaluation process. It is the story itself that matters most. “Audiences are eager to hear powerful stories, no matter where they are from,” said Wu. “Diversity, respect, tolerance and understanding — these are what the IPSC really wants to stress and spread.” 1.What is the topic of this year’s IPSC? A. Cultural difference. B. First impression. C. Body language. D. English education. 2.What left Wu Dongxu the deepest impression? A. The food culture. B. The transportation means. C. The climate. D.

One day my father needed a ride to town for a meeting. Meanwhile, my mother gave a list of groceries and my father asked me to take care of several pending chores such as getting the car serviced. When I dropped my father off that morning, he said, “I will meet you here at 5:00 p.m., and we will go home together.” After hurriedly completing my chores, I went straight to the nearest movie theater. I got so engrossed that I forgot the time. By the time I ran to the garage and got the car and hurried to where my father was waiting for me, it was almost 6:00 p.m. He anxiously asked me, “Why were you late?” I was so ashamed of telling him I was watching a movie that I said, “The car wasn’t ready, so I had to wait,” not realizing that he had already called the garage. When he caught me in the lie, he said, “There’s something wrong in the way I brought you up that didn’t give you the confidence to tell me the truth. In order to figure out where I went wrong with you, I’m going to walk home 18 miles and think about it.” So, dressed in his suit and dress shoes, he began to walk home in the dark on mostly unpaved, unlit roads. I couldn’t leave him, so for five-and-a-half hours I drove behind him, watching my father go through this pain for a stupid lie that I uttered. I decided then and there that I was never going to lie again. I often think about that episode and wonder, if he had punished me the way we punish our children, whether I would have learned a lesson at all. I don’t think so. I would have suffered the punishment and gone on doing the same thing. But this single action was so powerful that it is still as if it had happened yesterday. 1.Why did the author drive to the town? A. To get the car replaced. B. To attend a meeting. C. To go for a ride. D. To give his father a lift. 2.How does his father respond to the writer’s lie? A. He gave comfort to the writer. B. He reconsidered his parenting. C. He punished the writer immediately. D. He called the garage right away. 3.How did the author feel when he drove behind his father? A. Regretful. B. Annoyed. C. Shocked. D. Confused. 4.What lesson can parents learn from this father’s approach? A. Thinking in children’s shoes is important. B. Taking no action on kids’ mistakes is helpful. C. Non-violent actions are useful and powerful. D. Spending more quality time is effective. 【答案】1. D　2. B　3. A　4.

But the only thing that wasn’t very fun about it was that he could catch many fish while I couldn’t catch anything. I usually got pretty upset and kept asking him why. He always answered, “Son, if you want to catch a fish, you have to think like a fish.” I remember being even more upset then because, “I’m not a fish!” I didn’t know how to think like a fish. Besides, I reasoned, how could what I think influence what a fish does? As I got a little older I began to understand what my dad really meant. So, I read some books on fish. And I even joined the local fishing club and started attending the monthly meetings. I learned that a fish is a cold-blooded animal and therefore is very sensitive to water temperature. That is why fish prefer shallow water to deep water because the former is warmer. Besides, water is usually warmer in direct sunlight than in the shade. Yet, fish don’t have any eyelids (眼皮) and the sun hurts their eyes... The more I understood fish, the more I became effective at finding and catching them When I grew up and entered the business world, I remember hearing my first boss say, “We all need to think like salespeople.” But it didn’t completely make sense. My dad never once said, “If you want to catch a fish you need to think like a fisherman.” What he said was, “You need to think like a fish.” Years later, with great efforts to promote long-term services to people much older and richer than me, I gradually learned what we all need is to think more like customers. It is not an easy job. I will show you how in the following chapters. 1.What did the author’s father really mean? A. To read about fish B. To learn fishing by oneself C. To understand what fish think D. To study fishing in many ways 2.According to the author, fish are most likely to be found _________. A. in deep water on sunny days B. in deep water on cloudy days C. in shallow water under sunlight D. in shallow water under waterside trees 3.After entering the business world, the author found _________. A. it easy to think like a customer B. his father’s fishing advice inspiring C. his first boss’s sales ideas reasonable D. it difficult to sell services to poor people 4.This passage most likely comes from _________. A. a fishing guide B. a popular sales book C. a novel on childhood D. a millionaire’s biography 【答案】1. C　2. D　3. B　4. B 【解析】【导语】 这是一篇夹叙夹议的文章，主要讲述了作者小时候同父亲钓鱼，父亲给作者一些钓鱼的建议，这些建议给后来从事销售工作的作者一些启示。 (1)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第一段“He always answered, “Son, if you want to catch a fish, you have to think like a fish.”(他总是回答说：“孩子，如果你想钓到鱼，你就得像鱼一样思考。”)”和第二段“The more I understood fish, the more I became effective at finding and catching them(我对鱼了解得越多，就越能有效地找到并钓到它们)” 可推知，父亲的意思是要理解鱼的想法，像鱼一样思考。故选 C。 (2)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第二段“I learned that a fish is a cold - blooded animal and therefore is very sensitive to water temperature. That is why fish prefer shallow water to deep water because the former is warmer. Besides, water is usually warmer in direct sunlight than in the shade. Yet, fish don't have any eyelids (眼皮) and the sun hurts their eyes(我了解到鱼是冷血动物，因此对水温非常敏感。这就是为什么鱼喜欢浅水而不是深水，因为浅水更温暖。此外，阳光直射下的水通常比阴凉处的水更温暖。然而，鱼没有眼皮，阳光会伤害它们的眼睛)” 可推知，鱼会在水边树下的浅水中，因为那里既温暖又能避免阳光直射。故选 D。 (3)题解析： 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“I gradually learned what we all need is to think more like customers(我逐渐明白，我们都需要的是更多地像客户一样思考)”可知，这与父亲在第一段所说的“you have to think like a fish(你得像鱼一样思考)”相似。由此可推知，进入商界后，笔者发现他父亲的关于钓鱼的建议是有启发性的，故选B。 (4)题解析： 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“It is not an easy job. I will show you how in the following chapters.(这不是一件容易的工作。我将在接下来的章节中告诉你如何做)”可推知，本文可能来自一本畅销书。故选B。 主题语境04 人与自我-生活与学习 Passage 1 （25-26高一上·四川南充高中学·期中）Lisa has several fat family members, so she always believed she was sure to be fat. As a mother of three children from Rapid City, South Dakota, Lisa was already over 200 pounds when she started having children, but six months later her weight brought her up to 304 pounds. After having her second child, she knew she wanted to make a change. Some of Lisa’s family members had chosen to receive weight loss surgery, but had all ended up getting their weight back. So she decided to choose a different way. Lisa knew she had never kept exercising in the past because she would get bored when she repeated the same actions. When she started following Jillian’s fitness plan, she finally found a fitness program that she could stick to. “Jillian’s fitness plan is always fun and I look forward to doing it,” she says. “Right when I would be getting the hang of one action, another would come out, so I never get bored.” Over the years she has also realized that there are a lot of intensity levels to most actions, so no matter what weight she was at, she could work out well. Now as a fit person she still does the same exercise she did as a 300-pound person. She has reached the request of the highest intensity level! Lisa now focuses on eating healthy food as much as possible, and follows the 80/20 rule when it comes to eating. “I stiIl need my treats once in a while!” she says.

She works with every single one of them one-on-one at some point during the day, and she’s generous with praise, hugs, and affection. “When small children tell you they love you, say it back to them,” said the teacher. “It’s important for every child to feel their teacher cares about them and that school is always a secure (安全的) place to stay. When they know you truly care about them, they want to do their best for you, because they’re seeking your approval.” Merrigan also lets the children tell her their stories to learn what they’re passionate (热情的) about. “When you learn about certain things they like and tie them to your topic, they love it,” she said. “Maybe the children told you that they really like dinosaurs so when you’re teaching the letter ‘D’, you create a dinosaur art project to go with it.” Considering separation anxiety hits many youngsters hard when they enter the kindergarten classroom, how children feel at the beginning of their schooling can set the tone for the rest of their academic life, experts say. “This is important for little ones because this is often the first time that they’re experiencing formal education,” said Hedy Chang, executive director of Attendance Works, a nonprofit working to boost (促进) student attendance. “What happens during this time can help lay the foundation for social and academic success.” Researchers found students of all ages who miss an excessive amount of school often suffer from mental issues: They may need to feel nurtured, experts say. “To the degree that parents keep kids home from school because the kids say they don’t want to go,” said Deborah Stipek, an expert from Stanford University, “children’s relationship with the teacher should be an important factor.” Merrigan, who herself remembers faking being sick a few times as a child, couldn’t agree more. 1.Which of the following is NOT a way Merrigan uses to connect with children? A. Working one-on-one with each child. B. Giving praise, hugs, and affection. C. Letting children share their stories. D. Giving lots of homework to keep them busy. 2.What is Merrigan’s class like? A. Warm, supportive, and engaging. B. Comfortable, quiet and test-score-driven. C. Loving and teacher-centered. D. Caring and focused on personal work. 3.Why does Merrigan listen to her students’ personal stories? A. To learn about children’s behavior patterns. B. To help with exact grading and assessments (评价). C. To easily manage possible classroom differences. D. To make her students more focused on her lessons. 4.What is the best title for the passage? A. Managing Parental Separation Anxiety. B. attendance and Academic (学业的) Achievement. C. Creative Kindergarten Teaching Methods. D. Developing Emotional Connections in Kindergartens. 【答案】1. D　2. A　3. D　4.

Despite the challenges he faced, his life and music continue to inspire millions. Born in the small town of Lajatico, Italy, Bocelli suffered from serious eye problems from a young age, and a football accident eventually caused him to lose his sight completely. However, he never gave up his dream of becoming a musician. He trained under famous teachers, performed in local theaters, and turned his blindness into a strength that deepened his connection to music. In 1992, Bocelli’s big break came when Italian rock star Zucchero Fornaciari invited him to sing for the song Miserere. The collaboration (合作) was a turning point in his career. The song became a smash in Europe and earned him a lot of fans. What set Bocelli apart from many other classical singers was that he was able to combine pop music with opera and make his audience relate to his music. His 1997 album Romanza became one of the best-selling albums of all time and his career took off in ways that no opera singers had experienced before. Bocelli brought opera to ordinary people. His music touched listeners from all walks of life — from art lovers to blue-collar workers. Moreover, Bocelli devoted himself to charity. His foundation, the Andrea Bocelli Foundation (ABF), was established in 2011 with the goal of fighting poverty (贫穷) and social isolation (孤立) through the power of music and education. The foundation has provided scholarships, supported medical care, and funded music programs for poor children around the world. 1.Which of the following words can describe Bocelli? A. Brave and humorous. B. Proud and independent. C. Creative and careful. D. Determined and generous 2.What does the underlined word “smash” in paragraph 3 mean? A. A great success. B. A sudden attack. C. A serious failure. D. A new trend. 3.What makes Bocelli a unique singer? A. His disability and courage. B. His creativity and musical ability. C. His contributions to charity. D. His international fame. 4.What is the main purpose of this passage? A. To compare opera and pop music. B. To show a singer’s love for music. C. To share an inspiring life story. D. To promote a charity foundation. 【答案】1. D　2. A　3. B　4. C 【解析】【导语】 本文为一篇记叙文。文章通过介绍意大利歌唱家Bocelli克服失明障碍、融合古典与流行音乐取得卓越成就，并积极投身慈善事业的经历，展现其坚韧不拔的艺术精神与人文关怀，传递鼓舞人心的力量。 (1)题解析： 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“However, he never gave up his dream of becoming a musician.(但是，他从没放弃他成为音乐家的梦想)”可知，Bocelli虽自幼失明却坚持追求音乐梦想，故他是一个有决心的人。再根据文章最后一段“Moreover, Bocelli devoted himself to charity.

C. and started to play the violin; it was a cold January morning. He played six pieces for about 45 minutes.

Three minutes went by, and a middle-aged man noticed there was a musician playing. A few minutes later, someone leaned against the wall to listen to him. They stopped for a few seconds, and then hurried up to meet their schedule. The one who paid the most attention was a 3-year-old boy. His mother followed him along, hurriedly, but the kid stopped to look at the violinist. Finally, the mother pushed hard, and the child continued to walk, turning his head all the time. This was repeated by several other children. All the parents, without exception, forced them to move on. In the 45 minutes the musician played, only 6 people stopped and stayed for a while. About 20 gave him money, but continued to walk at their normal pace. He collected $32 when he finished playing and silence took over, no one noticed it. No one applauded (鼓掌), nor was there any recognition. No one knew this, but the violinist was Joshua Bell, one of the most gifted musicians in the world. He had just played one of the most beautiful pieces ever written, on a violin worth 3.5 million dollars. Two days before his playing in the subway, Joshua Bell sold out at a theater in Boston where the seats averaged $100. This is a real story. Joshua Bell’s playing in the subway station was organized by the Washington Post as part of a social experiment. One of the possible conclusions from this experience could be: If we do not have a moment to stop and listen to one of the best musicians in the world playing the best music ever written, how many other things are we missing? 1.Why did few people stop to listen to Joshua Bell playing? A. They were busy. B. The weather was not good. C. They were not interested in music. D. The performance was not good enough. 2.What did the parents do when children stopped to look at the violinist? A. They would give him some money. B. They would stop to enjoy the music. C. They would applaud for the performance. D. They would ask them to continue walking. 3.Why did Joshua Bell play in the subway station? A. To make more money. B. To practise his skills in playing music. C. To make an advertisement for his concert. D. To find out people’s reaction under a condition. 4.What is the purpose of the text? A. To show us how to play music. B. To encourage us to think about our life. C. To report a subway performance. D. To tell us the importance of music. 【答案】1. A　2. D　3. D　4.

Unfortunately, most vaccines need to be kept cool to stop them from going off. This makes it difficult to transport them to remote areas, because if they get too warm they won’t work. This is what Dr Asel Sartbaeva has been attempting to solve. As a child, Asel Sartbaeva always looked up to scientists like Michael Faraday and Marie Curie. When she studied at Cambridge University, she met an award-winning physicist called Brian Josephson. “My jaw dropped,” she said, “It felt like a ‘big thing’ for me to be working in the same place as scientists I had looked up to for so long.” In 2010, when taking her daughter to be vaccinated, she noticed the doctor had kept the vaccines in the fridge. Later she found that there were places around the world where vaccines couldn’t be delivered because they couldn’t be refrigerated (冷藏) for the whole journey — meaning some people miss out on getting vaccines. Sartbaeva wanted to invent a way to keep vaccines stable at all temperatures, so she came up with ensilication (硅化法) to improve their stability. Over the next few years, Sartbaeva and her team have tested out different ways to see if the ensilicated vaccines can be kept stable when they’re out of the fridge. One of these experiments involved sending vaccines in the post from Bath to Newcastle. The journey is more than 300 miles, which can take a day or two by post, but the vaccines were still safe to use when they arrived. In 2021, Sartbaeva was named a UNICEF Ambassador for Girls in Science Project. She designed experiments to get girls interested in the science-based subjects. “I hope they’ll encourage more girls to work in scientific field because we need more like them. Besides scientific and teaching work, I strive to bridge the gap between scientific innovations and the public, making them more accessible,” she said. 1.How did Sartbaeva feel when she met Brian Josephson? A. Embarrassed. B. Relieved. C. Scared. D. Honored. 2.What drove Sartbaeva to invent ensilication? A. Poor quality of vaccines. B. Vaccine instability without refrigeration. C. Her daughter’s unexpected illness. D. Children’s high demand for vaccines. 3.Why does the author mention the journey in paragraph 4? A. To show the effectiveness of ensilication. B. To emphasize the high cost of transportation. C. To compare different means of transportation. D. To explain the working principle of ensilication. 4.What can we know about Sartbaeva according to the last paragraph? A. She encourages girls to be UNICEF Ambassadors. B. She tries to clear the misunderstanding about women. C. She aims to popularize science among common people. D. She thinks females more talented than males in science. 【答案】1. D　2. B　3. A　4. C 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了阿塞尔·萨特巴耶娃博士致力于解决疫苗运输过程中的冷藏难题，发明了硅化法来保持疫苗的稳定性，以及她为推广科学所做出的努力。 (1)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第二段中“When she studied at Cambridge University, she met an award-winning physicist called Brian Josephson. “My jaw dropped,” she said, “It felt like a ‘big thing’ for me to be working in the same place as scientists I had looked up to for so long.”(当她在剑桥大学学习时，她遇到了一位获奖物理学家，名叫布莱恩·约瑟夫森。她说：“我当时目瞪口呆，对我来说，能和我仰慕已久的科学家在同一个地方工作，感觉就像是一件大事。”)”可知，布莱恩·约瑟夫森是萨特巴耶娃仰慕已久的科学家，能遇到约瑟夫森并与他在同一个地方工作，她感到很荣幸。故选D项。 (2)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Later she found that there were places around the world where vaccines couldn’t be delivered because they couldn’t be refrigerated (冷藏) for the whole journey — meaning some people miss out on getting vaccines.

As I walk toward the kitchen, I’m greeted by my mother standing over the cooker. She effortlessly cooks a dish that mixes Western and Eastern styles, a beloved breakfast classic in our family. This is my grandmother’s recipe (食谱). Since my grandmother’s passing, I’ve become more aware of my mother’s aging and her devotion to cooking for us. She has cooked for her family for more than 30 years, dividing her time between three countries — Korea, Canada and Germany. When my parents visit us from Korea, they stay with us for several months. My mother helps around the house, showing her cooking skills to provide delicious meals for me, my partner and our kids. In every other year, she and my dad will travel to Berlin to spend a couple of weeks with my sister and her partner. According to Statista, most Canadians report spending between 31 and 60 minutes preparing an average weekday dinner for themselves and others in their houses. Ten percent stated that they spend more than an hour preparing their evening meal. My mother belongs to that 10 percent. Her cooking goes beyond the kitchen, starting with careful grocery shopping trips where she examines produce and finds the best deals. She takes everyone’s preferences and needs into account. Helping her out in the kitchen requires a great deal of patience. Yet, I know it’s her way of expressing love. As I prepare the vegetables, she notices that my carrots are not evenly sized. She pushes me aside to take over the task. “Just do the dishes.” The meal she creates becomes a ritual (仪式), bringing the family together to connect and share. 1.What do we know about the author’s mother?

But just after we got married, I became pregnant (怀孕的). For six years, I was a stay-at-home mum. I did enjoy it when the kids were little, but when they both started school, I began to feel bored and restless. So I got in touch with an old colleague and she offered me a job. However, my husband said that he earned enough salary so he couldn’t countenance that. He put lots of barriers (障碍) in my way. For example, he said that he wouldn’t be able to take any time off if the kids were off school. It’s not just about the income for me. But it’s more the sense of achievement that comes with working. I miss the jokes and the sense of achievement after a good day. I know it won’t be easy but I want to give it a try. So why is my husband so unsupportive? My friend, Coleen, says, “Because he’s incredibly selfish. I know exactly how you feel. I also got increasingly bored in my kitchen every day when my kids were at school so I went out and got a little part-time job in a shop.

Is it after high school or university? Maybe it’s once we get comfortable in our jobs. Perhaps it’s after retirement (退休) when we can kick back and enjoy golden years of peace. Well, Tom Dercola, a 77-year-old retired high school teacher, shows that learning is a lifelong journey. 13 years after retirement, Dercola began taking courses offered through CMU’s English department. He felt his experience teaching the subject would make it easy to start with the subject matter. But what he found when he entered the classroom was more than he had expected. “I think back to my university days, when we learned Shakespeare, Chaucer, and what have you, and it didn’t mean a lot. It was writing the exam, reading the material (材料), getting it out of the way,” says Dercola. “Much of what the CMU professors were teaching was contemporary (当代的). It dealt with social problems, but it still fitted within the goals (目标) of that English course. It was very enjoyable.” Although education has been his life’s work, Dercola doesn’t see university as being the only means by which learning is done. He says he saw too many other retirees fall into unhealthy laziness after retirement. “When I retired from teaching, I had set some goals for myself. I wanted to work in a warehouse (货仓), so I went to Manitoba. Harvest and volunteered there for about eight years. I loved animals and volunteered with the Humane Society for about seven years. I wanted to get my health back, so I started working on walking, weightlifting, and exercise, and I achieved that. And for some strange reason, I wanted to be a DJ.” Dercola got on CJNU-FM in 2009 and has been producing a two-hour weekly program. There is a saying that Dercola usually says, “If you let the grass grow under your feet, pretty soon it’s going to grow over your head.” 1.What can we learn about Dercola? A. He is interested in ancient poetry. B. He worked at CMU before retirement. C. He used to teach English in high school. D. He started his after-retirement life in 2009. 2.What did Dercola find different about the courses he took? A. They placed a high value on reading. B. They required students to take special exams. C. They were mainly about great works of literature. D. They were more than just focusing on the language. 3.What does paragraph 7 mainly tell us? A. Dercola lives a colorful life after retirement. B. Dercola was interested in doing music as a child. C. Dercola has been in poor health since retirement. D. Dercola volunteered a lot to stay socially active. 4.What might Dercola say to his retired friends? A. There is always time for success. B. If you want time, you must make it. C. We must use time purposefully, not lazily. D. Time has a wonderful way of showing us what matters. 【答案】1. C　2. D　3. A　4. C 【解析】【导语】 这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了77岁的退休高中教师汤姆·德科拉（Tom Dercola）丰富的退休生活。 (1)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第三段“13 years after retirement, Dercola began taking courses offered through CMU’s English department. He felt his experience teaching the subject would make it easy to start with the subject matter.(退休13年后，德科拉开始通过卡梅隆大学（CMU）的英语系开设的课程学习。他觉得自己教这门课的经验会让他很容易上手。)”可知，德科拉过去在高中教英语。故选C。 (2)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第五段“Much of what the CMU professors were teaching was contemporary. It dealt with social problems, but it still fitted within the goals of that English course. It was very enjoyable.(卡梅隆大学的教授们教授的大部分内容都是当代的。它涉及社会问题，但仍然符合英语课程的目标。它非常有趣。)”可知，德科拉发现他上的课程不仅仅是关注语言，还涉及社会问题。故选D。 (3)题解析： 主旨大意题。根据第七段“I wanted to work in a warehouse, so I went to Manitoba. Harvest and volunteered there for about eight years. I loved animals and volunteered with the Humane Society for about seven years. I wanted to get my health back, so I started working on walking, weightlifting, and exercise, and I achieved that. And for some strange reason, I wanted to be a DJ.(我想在仓库工作，所以我去了马尼托巴。在那里收获并做了大约八年的志愿者。我喜欢动物，并在人道协会做了大约七年的志愿者。我想恢复健康，所以我开始走路、举重和锻炼，我做到了。出于某种奇怪的原因，我想成为一名DJ。)”可知，第七段主要讲述了德科拉退休后设定了多个目标并努力实现它们，过着丰富多彩的生活。故选A。 (4)题解析： 推理判断题。根据最后一段“There is a saying that Dercola usually says, “If you let the grass grow under your feet, pretty soon it’s going to grow over your head.”(德科拉常说一句俗语：“如果你迟迟不行动，机遇很快就会离你远去。”)”可知，德科拉认为如果人们不积极行动，时间就会悄悄流逝，人们会被时间所超越，因此德科拉可能会对他的退休朋友说“我们必须有目的地利用时间，而不是懒惰地利用时间”。故选C。 Passage 5 （25-26·四川成都外国语学校·期中）Raised in a motherless home, my father was extremely tightfisted (吝啬的;小气的) towards us children. His attitude didn’t soften as I grew into adulthood and went to college. I had to ride the bus whenever I came home. Though the bus stopped about two miles from home, Dad never met me, even in severe weather. If I spoke unhappily, he’d say in his loudest father voice, “That’s what your legs are for!” The walk didn’t bother me as much as the fear of walking alone along the highway and country roads. I also felt less than valued that my father didn’t seem worried about my safety. But that feeling was canceled one spring evening. It had been a particularly difficult week at college after long hours in labs. I longed for home. When the bus reached the stop, I stepped off and dragged my suitcase to begin the long journey home. A row of hedges (树篱) edged the driveway that climbed the hill to our house. Once I had turned off the highway to start the last lap of my journey, I always had a sense of relief to see the hedges because it meant that I was almost home. On that particular evening, the hedges had just come into view when I saw something gray moving along the top of the hedges, moving toward the house. Upon closer observation, I realized it was the top of my father’s head. Then I knew, each time I’d come home, he had stood behind the hedges, watching, until he knew I had arrived safely. I swallowed hard against the tears. He did care, after all. On later visits, that spot of gray became my watchtower. I could hardly wait until I was close enough to watch for its secret movement above the greenery. Upon reaching home, I would find my father sitting innocently in his chair. “So, my son, it’s you!” he’d say, his face lengthening into pretended surprise. I replied, “Yes, Dad, it’s me. I’m home.” 1.What made the author feel upset was ________. A. the tiredness after long hours in labs B. the fear of seeing something moving C. the feeling of being less than valued D. the loneliness of riding the bus home 2.Based on the passage, which of the following best describes the father’s character? A. Tightfisted and cold B. Hardworking and brave C. Responsible and outgoing D. Strict and caring 3.Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. My Father’s Secret B. My College Life C. My Terrible Journey Home D. Riding the Bus Alone 【答案】1. C　2. D　3. A 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇记叙文。作者从小在没有母亲的家庭长大，父亲对孩子们极为吝啬，作者每次回家都要独自走两英里路，父亲从不接送，这让作者觉得自己不受重视。直到一个春天的傍晚，作者发现父亲其实一直站在树篱后默默注视着自己回家的身影，才明白父亲的严格背后藏着深沉的关爱。 (1)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The walk didn’t bother me as much as the fear of walking alone along the highway and country roads. I also felt less than valued that my father didn’t seem worried about my safety.(走路本身并不像独自走在公路和乡间小路上的恐惧那样让我困扰。更让我觉得不受重视的是，父亲似乎并不担心我的安全)”可知，作者真正感到沮丧的是“不受重视的感觉”。故选C项。 (2)题解析： 推理判断题。 根据第一段“Raised in a motherless home, my father was extremely tightfisted towards us children. His attitude didn’t soften as I grew into adulthood and went to college. I had to ride the bus whenever I came home. Though the bus stopped about two miles from home, Dad never met me, even in severe weather. If I spoke unhappily, he’d say in his loudest father voice, “That’s what your legs are for!”(父亲自幼在没有母亲的家庭中长大，对我们这些孩子格外吝啬。即便我长大成人、步入大学校园，他的态度也未曾软化分毫。每次回家，我都只能搭乘公交车。尽管公交站离家还有约莫两英里的路程，可即便遇上恶劣天气，父亲也从未去接我。要是我流露出不快，他便会用最严厉的父亲口吻大声说：“你的腿就是用来干这个的！”)” 可知，父亲在物质上吝啬，在生活中对作者要求严格，让他独自面对长途步行和恶劣天气，不轻易妥协，体现了“严格”的性格特质。根据第四段“Then I knew, each time I’d come home, he had stood behind the hedges, watching, until he knew I had arrived safely. I swallowed hard against the tears. He did care, after all.(那一刻我才明白，每次我回家时，他都会站在树篱后面静静注视着，直到确认我安全抵达。我强忍泪水，喉头哽咽。原来，他终究是在乎我的)”可知，父亲从未用言语表达关心，但一直以默默注视的方式确保作者的安全，这种“不善言辞但行动暖心”的表现，体现了他“关心他人”的本质。故选D项。 (3)题解析： 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章描述了作者从小在没有母亲的家庭长大，父亲对孩子们极为吝啬，作者每次回家都要独自走两英里路，父亲从不接送，这让作者觉得自己不受重视。直到一个春天的傍晚，作者发现父亲其实一直站在树篱后默默注视着自己回家的身影，才明白父亲的严格背后藏着深沉的关爱。A项“My Father’s Secret（父亲的秘密）”为最佳标题。故选A项。 Passage 6 （25-26高一上·四川成都盐道街中学·期中）When I was a boy there were no smart phones, computers were something you saw on STAR TREK, and our television only got one channel clearly. Still, I was never bored. The fields, hills, and woodlands around my home were the perfect playgrounds whose adventures were only limited by my imagination. I can remember once hiking to a nearby lake and slowly walking around it. At the backside of it I was amazed to find an old, one lane, dirt road that I had never seen before. I immediately set out to travel it. It was full of muddy tire tracks and deep woods bordered it on both sides, but exploring it still seemed like a fine adventure. I walked on and on for what seemed like hours. I am sure my guardian angel was whispering in my ear to turn around and head back home but I was stubborn and even a bit stupid, so I walked on. The dirt road gave way to a gravel one and then a paved one, yet there was still neither a car nor a house in sight. My legs were getting tired. I noticed that the sun was starting to go down and I grew scared. I didn’t want to end up trapped on this road in the dark of night, but I was sure it would be dark before I could make my way back to the lake again. I continued to walk on with the something growing inside of me. My heart was pounding and my legs were aching. I was almost in tears when I turned one last curve and saw something in the distance. It was a house that I recognized. My heart leapt up! I jumped up and down and laughed out loud. I knew the way home! It was still over a mile away but my legs felt like feathers and I hurried back to my house. I walked in with a big smile on my face just in time for dinner. Then I ended my adventure with a good night’s sleep. I often thought of that experience recently. Actually, in our life, all roads, no matter how they twist and turn, can lead us home again. They can lead us to our homes here on Earth. They can lead us to our homes in our hearts. May you always walk your path with love. May you always help your fellow travelers along the way. And may your roads always lead you Home again. 1.Why did the author hardly feel bored when he was young? A. He could watch TV all day. B. He could have fun in nature. C. He had many friends to play with. D. He used to explore the old dirt road. 2.How did the author feel when he was exploring the dirt road? A. He was contradictory in mind. B. He was unconscious of danger. C. He was worried to be trapped in the woods. D. He was afraid of being scolded by his parents. 3.What does the underlined word “something” in Paragraph 3 probably refer to? A. Doubt. B. Hope. C. Fear. D. Courage. 4.What may be the best title for the passage? A. Every Effort Is Worthwhile B. Be Brave to Explore C. Be Determined in Your Life D. All Roads Lead Home 【答案】1. B　2. A　3. C　4. D 【解析】【导语】 本文是记叙文。文章讲述了作者小时候在回家的路上选择了一条冒险的小路，最终在天黑以前到家的故事。由此作者感慨：这辈子所有的路不管怎样波折最终都会引导着我们回家。 (1)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Still, I was never bored. The fields, hills, and woodlands around my home were the perfect playgrounds whose adventures were only limited by my imagination.( 不过，我从不觉得无聊。我家周围的田野、山丘和林地都是完美的游乐场，我的想象力限制了它们的冒险。)”可知，作者年轻时很少感到无聊是因为他可以在大自然中享受乐趣。故选B项。 (2)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第二段中“I walked on and on for what seemed like hours. I am sure my guardian angel was whispering in my ear to turn around and head back home but I was stubborn and even a bit stupid, so I walked on.( 我走啊走，好像走了好几个小时。我确信我的守护天使在我耳边低语，让我转身回家，但我很固执，甚至有点愚蠢，所以我继续往前走。)”可推知，作者在探索这条土路的时候思想是矛盾的。故选A项。 (3)题解析： 词句猜测题。根据第三段中“My heart was pounding and my legs were aching. I was almost in tears when I turned one last curve and saw something in the distance.( 我的心怦怦直跳，双腿疼痛。当我转过最后一个弯，看到远处有什么东西时，我几乎要哭了。)”可知，作者开始害怕，从而推知，划线的“something”指的作者内心的害怕和恐惧。故选C项。 (4)题解析： 主旨大意题。根据文章大意以及最后一段中“I often thought of that experience recently. Actually, in our life, all roads, no matter how they twist and turn, can lead us home again.( 最近我经常想起那次经历。其实，在我们的生活中，所有的道路，无论多么曲折，都可以把我们带回家。)”可知，文章讲述了作者小时候在回家的路上选择了一条冒险的小路，最终在天黑以前到家的故事。由此作者感慨：这辈子所有的路不管怎样波折最终都会引导着我们回家。故文章最好的标题是“所有的道路都能引导你回家”。故选D项。 主题语境04 人与自然-自然生态 （25-26高一上·四川成都树德中学·期中）Jim Savage was setting out for a day’s fishing off the Florida coast when he heard the cries of a baby dolphin in trouble. The three-month-old had got her tail caught in the ropes of an abandoned crab trap. Jim knew that if he left her, the dolphin would have little chance of survival. He cut her free and got in contact with the authorities. She was taken to Clear water Marine Aquarium, but her injuries were so severe that she lost her tail. The aquarium staff named the baby dolphin Winter and she gradually learned how to swim again. Unfortunately, because of the way she was moving in the water without her tail, she was in danger of developing a problem with her spine (脊椎). Kevin Carroll and Dan Strzempka, who ran a company making artificial limbs, heard about the problem and had a brilliant idea. Kevin and Dan told the staff at the aquarium that they would make an artificial (人造的) tail for Winter! There were a lot of challenges that Kevin and Dan had to deal with along the way, like trying to fit an artificial tail on a playful young dolphin that doesn’t want to stay still! It took over fifty prototypes (模型) and a year and a half before Winter finally got her new 30-inch tail. After seeing her swim with it for the first time, Kevin said that the months of hard work had been truly worth it. Making the tail was only half the story, though. For Winter to be able to swim properly, the artificial tail needed to be held in place without damaging her skin. Specialists came up with a soft material that firmly holds the skin and doesn’t hurt. Designed especially for Winter, this material was so successful that “WintersGel” is now being used to make artificial limbs more comfortable for people with false arms and legs all around the world. In 2011 the tale (故事) was made into a film, “Dolphin Tale”, starring Winter herself. It’s about a dolphin that would have died, but survived because a few people cared. 1.What do we know about Jim? A. He worked at an aquarium. B. He freed a dolphin from a trap. C. He injured a dolphin accidentally. D. He kept a baby dolphin for three months. 2.What did Kevin and Dan decide to do according to paragraph 2? A. Teach Winter to swim. B. Set up a branch company. C. Help straighten Winter’s spine. D. Make a man-made tail for Winter. 3.Which of the following words can best describe Kevin and Dan’s work in paragraph 3? A. Dangerous. B. Imaginative. C. Interesting. D. Difficult. 4.What could be the best title for the text? A. A tale of a tail. B. A lesson from a dolphin. C. An important survival skill. D. A chance encounter with a dolphin. 【答案】1. B　2. D　3. D　4. A 【解析】【导语】 这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了人们救助一条小海豚，并最终为海豚安上一条人造尾巴的故事。 (1)题解析： 细节理解题。由文章第一段中“Jim Savage was setting out for a day’s fishing off the Florida coast when he heard the cries of a baby dolphin in trouble.

Wanting to inspire his daughter’ s business sense, my dad brought home a vending machine he had purchased from a friend. Setting it down in front of me in our living room, he asked in all seriousness, “Do you want to start a business?” I said yes. I owned 15 vending machines by the time I left high school, with all of the profits going toward my college fund. In addition to being a great bonding experience for my family, I couldn't tell you how many skills I learned from starting and developing my own business that helped me gain responsibility. I learned that not every experience in life led to the comforting encouragement: Well, you were tried. You should face bravely all kinds of difficulties. Understanding both personal and professional finances is one of the most important life lessons to learn—the earlier, the better. I had to be fearless and confident—learning these skills at a young age saved me from speaking with difficulty through presentations later in life. Truly understanding what you’re selling displays confidence and reliability, as does truly believing in it. Comprehending the ins and outs of your product and business shines through when speaking with clients though rejection (拒绝) happens all the time. Throughout the unbelievable experience of running my own business in my childhood, I’ve learned valuable skills that help me in my school, job and personal life. I believe in the value of customer service. I go after clients and chances and understand that sometimes things don’t go my way. With the help of my parents and customers who supported me, I grew up as a young entrepreneur with skills to keep for the rest of my life. 1.Why did the author’s dad give her a vending machine? A. To earn her college fund. B. To raise her business awareness. C. To solve her friend’s financial problem. D. To remind her how hard it is for him to earn money. 2.What does the author think of her experience of running vending machines? A. It was tough but worthwhile. B. It was scary but smooth. C. It distanced her from her family. D. It taught her how to refuse clients. 3.What does paragraph 3 mainly tell us about the author? A. Her attitude towards rejection. B. Her understanding of financial problems. C. Her insight into her business experience. D. Her vision of the future vending machines. 4.What can we infer from the text? A. One can succeed without support. B. One is never too old to run the business. C. Abilities acquired at a young age are useful in the future. D. Customer needs are always consistent with the enterprise. 【答案】1. B　2. A　3. C　4.

That’s the story floating around after Simon Kruger, a 7-year-old boy, was rescued from Australia’s Deep Creek Conservation Park. According to Australia’s 7 News, the saga began when Simon wandered off after the family ate a picnic lunch. Apparently, the lost boy drifted away to pick flowers for his mom. Instead, he got hopelessly lost and without adequate warm clothing to stay out overnight in the forest. A police search, including helicopters, followed. But Simon wasn’t found for 24 hours – even though he was ultimately discovered only about half a kilometer from the family’s campsite. His father Etienne Kruger thinks his son was disoriented when the rain and wind swept in after he got lost. However, it happened. Simon wasn’t found for almost a full 24 hours. The overnight weather was cold and wet, dropping to a low of around 43 degrees Fahrenheit. So how did the lost boy survive the cold, wet night? The family said that Simon’s flowers for his mom attracted a kangaroo. His dad explained, “A kangaroo came closer to him and ate the flowers from him, and the kangaroo fell asleep next to him. I think God sent a kangaroo to keep him warm.” 1.The purpose of the writer is to ________. A. inform us a moving story between a boy and an animal B. ask the parents to look after their children more carefully C. praise the policemen for their great effort to rescue a lost boy D. teach the children to protect the environment 2.What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. It was lucky for the boy to have a kangaroo with him. B. At first sight, the little boy was fond of a kangaroo very much. C. The kangaroo feeds on flowers. D.

The 82-year-old Japanese bodybuilder is not only in perfect physical condition, he also looks better than a lot of men a quarter his age. Kanazawa is living proof that you’re never too old to hit the gym and achieve the body you’ve always dreamed of. A champion bodybuilder in his youth, Kanazawa stopped exercising completely after he retired at age 34, drinking, smoking and eating whatever he liked. It wasn’t until he turned 50 that he got his motivation (动力) to regain the perfect body of his younger years. Kanazawa’s wife felt sick frequently, and the former bodybuilder remembered that she had never been happier than when he won the national championship. So to please her, he decided to return to the gym and completely change his diet. His workout schedule had to be adjusted to his age as well. In his youth, he would spend up to six hours training in the gym every day, and his body would recover within two days after a particularly intensive workout, but that was not the case anymore. He cut the daily gym time to three hours and started giving his body one week to recover after exercising every muscle group. Kanazawa’s efforts paid off. In 2016, at the age of 80, Kanazawa defeated many opponents and placed sixth in the world in a contest for bodybuilders over 65, and won the admiration of the crowd. Sport keeps this elderly man healthy, as he claims not to have suffered so much as a cold since he started bodybuilding again at age 50. “I want to be a super old man in the bodybuilder community,” Kanazawa said, “If I have a goal, I can continue moving forward. I have to work much harder.” 1.What can we learn about Kanazawa from paragraph 2? A. He started bodybuilding at the age of 34. B. He developed an unhealthy lifestyle after he retired. C. He had serious health problems in his youth. D. He seldom exercised when he was young. 2.Why did Kanazawa decide to take up exercise again? A. To cheer up his wife. B. To help change his diet. C.

He combined relaxation with exercise. D. He spent up to six hours training every day. 4.What can be the best title for the text? A. Bodybuilding: No Age Limit B. Champion: The Result of Workout C. Exercise: The Best Medicine for Illnesses D. Understanding: A Guarantee of Happiness 【答案】1. B　2. A　3. C　4.

After graduating from high school, I moved to Los Angeles. I earned a degree in video production there. Fortune smiled upon me as I quickly worked as a production helper. I was young and ambitious, doing my best in my dream work. One day, I worked as a volunteer at an award show. A production manager talked with me and said that I was going to be a “big fish” one day.

Sometime around 1975, Grandma, always believing good things would happen in the future, received this plant as a gift, which she appreciated and placed in her doorway. It came from the local butcher. Five years later, my mum married the butcher’s son and had me. Grandma revealed to me this particular plant was a living relationship between the two families. And so was I. Recently, whenever we visited Grandma’s flat, I attempted to fix this concept in my children’s minds. “That was a gift your great-grandma bought your other great-grandma! It’s older than me!” Then my kids would nod and ask Grandma for a sweet. Numerous times, Grandma gave me cuttings or clippings of the plant, hoping I might raise my own and continue the legend. Yet, every time, my new branch died with my awful gardening skills. But that didn’t used to matter, because I could turn to Grandma, who would wait and accept my disturbance without becoming upset. Then I got another clipping and tried again. But now I can’t. So, I decided that the plant will go and live with Ann, my mother-in-law, who is a genius with a greenhouse. The plan is for Ann to keep hold of the original plant. In time, she can teach me how to deal with its cuttings properly, and then maybe one day I can settle the plant in my place. In the meantime, Ann will allocate (分配) clippings among my relatives, as Grandma used to do. My wife’s two sisters, for example, are both better at tending plants than I am, so it is quite imaginable that they, too, will offer cuttings of the plant to their partners, spreading this loving plant across my entire extended family. 1.Why did the author want his grandma’s aloe?
