Passage 2 （25-26高二上·四川成都川大附中·期中）On the morning of the big day, Vially Dorestant prepared for her son Corey’s school photo shoot to ensure he felt calm and confident. Little did she know, she needn’t have worried. In a video posted online, Corey displayed his planned smile for the picture at his new school. With a lovable grin (咧着嘴笑), Dorestant believed he was well-prepared. Dorestant shared, “Corey can become shy and anxious around people, so I wanted to make sure he felt at ease during his first picture day at the new school.” However, Corey’s actual pose for the picture was far from the shy and sweet smile his mom had expected. The video revealed Corey posing with left hand in his pocket and right hand resting under his chin (下巴) — a gesture that caught Dorestant completely off guard. “At the first sight of the picture, I was stunned; it took me about five minutes to process because I couldn’t believe what I saw,” Dorestant said. But eventually, she found it amusing. “I felt so proud of Corey for overcoming his nervousness and allowing his true personality to shine through. As a mother, my only wish is for him to be true to himself through any challenges he faces,” Dorestant said. Dorestant’s video has over 18 million views and 25,000 comments, with many surprised by the result. “Nothing could have prepared me for the ending,” one user wrote, while another commented that it was the “best case scenario (场景)”. For Dorestant, Corey’s first picture day served as a valuable lesson. “As parents, we often feel the need to protect our kids and prepare them for the world, which can make us anxious about their readiness, but we need to trust in their abilities and give them the space to shine on their own,” Dorestant said. 1.What did Dorestant worry about her son at first?

A. Believe their own judgement. B. Serve as an experienced guide. C. Give full play to kids’ potential. D. Teach their children everything. 主题语境02 人与社会-社会服务与人际沟通 （25-26高二上·四川成都青羊区石室中学-12月·期中）In Hazelwood, a group called Seedlings (幼苗) for Tomorrow gives every child three plants to grow in their own garden. Unlike a public park, these plants are theirs to keep forever. Kids “check out” at the city’s greenhouse not with money, but by joining the group’s Garden Buddy project. This project pairs each young gardener with an adult guide. They have a 45-minute virtual meeting each week to learn about gardening and nature. “Every kid should feel the joy of growing something with their own hands,” said Orson Pike, the project director. Orson started the non-profit organization Seedlings for Tomorrow in 2022. Soon he realized that just giving away plants wasn’t enough. “Some groups think dropping off supplies is helping. But if people don’t know how to use them, it’s like giving them a stone,” he explained. That’s why the program focuses on teaching skills — like how to water plants properly, what seasons are best for planting, and how to protect flowers from insects. At the greenhouse, children can pick from sunflowers, strawberries, lavender, and even small vegetable kits. There are guidebooks in both English and Welsh. Orson is already 70, but he’s always been enthusiastic about the growth of the next generation. He believes that by letting kids choose what they love, they’ll grow into passionate gardeners. Many kids even share their progress with classmates, making gardening a social activity. To attract more families, Seedlings for Tomorrow visits local primary schools and community centers. Orson also hopes to build small green stations around town where people can exchange seeds and gardening tips. The project has received $20,000 from the UK-based Ecology Fund. The fund manager Elara Vane said, “Such programs are essential— they teach patience, responsibility and love for the environment, which helps kids both in and out of school,” adding that parents have noticed their children becoming more confident since joining the project. 1.What can a kid do by joining Garden Buddy project? A. Volunteer at the city’s greenhouse. B. Acquire gardening knowledge online. C. Sell garden plants to the adult guide. D. Receive free three plants every week. 2.What philosophy does Orson’s project demonstrate? A. Hard work is the mother of success. B. Guide others, and you will learn twice. C. Teach a man to fish, not give him a fish. D. Creative activities involve being confident. 3.How does the author highlight the project’s value in the last paragraph? A. By quoting an official. B. By giving examples. C. By providing statistics. D. By making a comparison. 4.Which word best describes Orson? A. Adventurous. B. Determined. C. Caring. D. Flexible. 主题语境03 人与自我-生活与学习 Passage 1 （25-26高二上·四川成都列五中学·期中）Mr Dan Marcanruono, known as Mr Marc, teaches philosophy and moral thinking at a high school. Before becoming an educator, Mr Marc worked in healthcare consulting, drove a delivery truck for a laundry company and worked temporarily in business development. Teaching wasn’t something he had seriously considered until he joined the Master of Fine Arts program in creative writing at Bowling Green State University in Ohio. As part of his scholarship, he was required to teach courses in creative writing to college students. “I don’t think I would have gotten into teaching if I hadn’t gone to that school.” he said. From his teaching experiences, Mr Marc quickly realized that teaching requires more than just knowing the subject. One moment that reshaped his view of teaching occurred during his first year when a student lost his father. The experience made him realize how essential it is to create an environment that assists students facing personal challenges. When transitioning from teaching college to high school, Mr Marc admitted that he struggled with constantly having to adapt and come up with new ideas. “Getting accustomed to the workload and curriculum when it’s all so new to me has been one of the biggest challenges so far,” he explained. Mr Marc believes authority doesn’t come from simply having a title. “There’s a lot I can be doing to make students feel confident and capable in the classroom,” he said. By encouraging a sense of teamwork and mutual respect, he aims to create an environment where students feel valued. “I try to get to know my students and then take time during class to talk to them individually,” he added. This approach helps students feel noticed. “My ultimate goal as a teacher is to help students start to question the things they take for granted or the things they just assume are true about the world,” said Mr Marc, who describes his teaching journey as a blessing. He acknowledges that his path to teaching was unexpected, but he’s grateful for the experiences he has come across. 1.What can we learn about Mr Marc before he became a teacher? A. He worked in various fields. B. He specialized in creative writing. C. He taught at a university full-time. D. He had always dreamed of being a teacher. 2.What made Mr Marc change his view on teaching? A. His scholarship requirement. B. A student’s personal tragedy. C.

Building authority among students. B. Helping students facing personal challenges. C. Adapting to the new workload and curriculum. D. Making students feel valued in class. 4.What is Mr Marc’s ultimate goal as a teacher? A. To help students develop critical thinking. B. To make students feel confident in class. C. To encourage teamwork among students. D. To get to know each student individually. Passage 2 （25-26高二上·四川遂宁中学校·期中）A year ago, I moved from Saskatoon to Montreal, stepping into a different world.

It also requires a supportive network of people willing to help each other out. This year showed me what a difference our community of guiding can make. Recently, at Sherbrooke station, a lady asked for directions to St-Denis Street. To my joy, I knew the way. In my excitement, I gave her not one, but three different routes (路线).

Passage 2 （25-26高二上·四川阆中中学校·期中）I was cutting up lettuce (生菜) in the kitchen when I suddenly remembered watching a video about putting the lettuce stub (残余部分) in water to grow a whole new vegetable. So I took out a wide-mouthed mug (大杯) and placed the stub into it, gave it a little water, and placed it by the window. On a snowy morning, I noticed the first sign. A first small leaf from its heart spread out. A tiny green flag of hope. Beaten, but not defeated. Within days, it was impossible to see the cuts where I had removed the leaves. The growth was explosive. And when I lifted the blossoming head out of the mug, tiny root threads fell down, seeking for the earth. What is growing here? Lettuce or hope? If I were a lettuce in a similar condition, I’d want to doubtfully assess where I found myself before being devoted to full growth. Yet for this lettuce, my inadequate offering of water and a place by a window was enough for it to decide to reclaim itself again. It grew in a mug of water, in faith. This is the heart of this lettuce: alive, strong and fearless. It deserved a name. I decided to call it Monty. Monty wanted to grow, as we all do. I think I gave him a little love and freedom. Those two ingredients were all he needed to return to himself. I see joy in this lettuce. The return to self is always an expression of joy, which is life itself. With the right ingredients, this is the tendency of all living things. Monty still lives in a mug, but I’m going to transplant him outside. He deserves to become his full self. The only problem I see now is my capacity to support Monty. I hope I have enough of a green finger. I’m surprised to find myself where I am. Maybe Monty is, too. I have the same choice as he does: give in, or start again. The prospect of starting again is discouraging. But my lettuce-friend, Monty, leads the way. I can only hope to be as brave. 1.Why did the author put the stub in water? A. To hope that it would grow. B. To decorate the nice mug. C. To play a game. D. To remove his bad mood. 2.What is the first sign of life in the author’s eyes? A. The remaining stub. B. The small leaf. C. The disappearing cuts. D. The tiny root threads. 3.How would the author feel if in the lettuce’s situation? A. Hesitant. B. Fearless. C. Confident. D. Annoyed. 4.What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Enjoy your own life to the fullest B. Believe in yourself when in trouble C. Never be afraid to restart yourself D.

Along a one-mile walking path, dozens of tiny fairy houses hide among trees and mossy areas. When storms damage these small houses, someone secretly fixes them. This secret builder is Therese Ojibway, a 60-year-old teacher from Millburn, New Jersey, who started this work five years ago. As a child in Michigan, Therese built fairy houses with her sisters. Her mother taught her to see magic in common things, which started her fairy path work. The fairy path truly began when Therese’s son Clinton was found to have autism (自闭症) at age two. Therese took Clinton on nature walks in the woods to help him. During these walks, Clinton noticed small natural details — a hollow log, a strange rock. These walks helped Therese remember her childhood imagination. “In the woods, I could follow his pace,” she explains. “We discovered magic together.” Years later, during difficult times, Therese began placing handmade fairy things along the path — small beds, swings, and ladders. As more houses appeared, the community joined in, leaving small gifts of nuts and seashells for the fairy neighbors. The work faced problems occasionally. Children broke one of Therese’s most difficult works — a two-story fairy house with a moss roof. However, Therese did not give up, just like she didn’t give up her son. Today, the fairy path remains special. “The joy is in making and sharing,” says Therese, whose patience was developed through raising an autistic child. Now Clinton is much better. The fairy path shows how creativity and patience can create something wonderful where broken things are mended and wonder never stops. 1.What made Therese seriously start the fairy path work in South Mountain Park? A. The community’s expectation of creating a magical path. B. Her mother’s teaching about finding magic in common things. C. The need to help her autistic son Clinton through nature walks. D. Her childhood experience of building fairy houses with sisters. 2.How did the community participate in the fairy path project? A. Organized group activities for children with special needs. B. Began to build more elaborate fairy houses along the path. C. Helped Therese maintain and repair the damaged fairy houses. D. Contributed by offering small presents for the fairy residents. 3.Where can we infer Therese’s patience mainly comes from? A. The support from the local community. B. Her childhood habit of exploring nature. C. Her long-term experience of raising Clinton. D. Repairing broken fairy houses again and again. 4.What is the main idea of the passage? A. An autistic boy’s recovery is related to nature walks. B. Therese’s childhood memory leads her to build fairy houses. C. A magical fairy path in New Jersey’s park attracts many visitors. D. Therese uses creativity and patience to create a special fairy path. 主题语境01 人与社会-历史、社会与文化 Passage 1 （25-26高二上·四川荣县中学校·期中）Leslie Jones is a well-known comedian and actress, best known for her time on “Saturday Night Live” (SNL) and her work in stand-up comedy.

The sound of thunder (雷) was so loud that it felt like the gods were fighting in the sky. This scared him a little, so he took his favorite novel, Harry Potter, from the bookshelf. Again, there was a terrible sound of thunder. He tried to focus on the novel, but the sudden sound of the doorbell interrupted (打断) him. It couldn’t be his parents. He looked at the wall clock—it was only ten minutes past three. Usually, they got home after six in the afternoon. The doorbell sounded again. “Who’s there?” he shouted. There was no reply. The doorbell sounded again. He remembered his parents telling him not to open the door without checking who it is. “Should I answer the bell or not?” thought Karthik. He decided to first prepare himself for an unpleasant encounter (遭遇). He went into a room and came out with a baseball bat (棒球棒), which he hid behind the door in case he needed it. But still, he needed to make sure who was at the door before he opened it. He shouted once again, “Who’s at the door?” There was still no reply. No sound of footsteps, either. He held the baseball bat in one hand and was ready to open the door with the other. Suddenly, there was a loud cry. “Karthik! Karthik! Why don’t you open the door?” “There is no doubt about it; it’s Dad,” Karthik shouted and rushed forward to open the door. “Why are you holding a baseball bat?” asked Karthik’s father. For a moment, the boy seemed at a loss for words.

It had been forty years since I graduated high school, but the staircase haunted my memories. Boys would sit on both sides of the staircase, rating the girls as we walked by. If they thought a girl was really ugly, they barked. Every time I walked up or down those stairs, the barks, woofs, and laughter rang in my ears. “Just ignore them,” my mother advised. And I did. On the surface. But inside, the painful message that I was ugly rooted deep into my soul. Eventually, I graduated, got accepted to college and landed a rewarding career. Then I got an invitation to my fortieth high school reunion. I didn’t like high school, but I wanted to go back and tell those boys how hurtful and unkind they were. And I wanted to show them they were wrong. I had a husband, a family and all the things they’d made me feel I wasn’t worthy of. In September, I put on my favorite blouse, touched up my make-up, and drove to the Friday night opening reception. However, on the night, people greeted me politely, flattering me with “You haven’t changed at all.” I’d look at the face and study the nametag with the graduation photo, but it didn’t ring a bell most of the time. Was I at the wrong reunion? No, some women remembered my mother being their Girl Scout leader. Others had kind things to say about my father, a local college professor. My planned speech wilted (枯萎) on my lips. Instead, I chatted breezily about my two grown sons and living in Seattle. People were nice enough, but aside from a couple of friends, I felt like I was talking to strangers. It was pointless to hold a grudge (怨恨) against people I couldn’t even recognize. I was only hurting myself by replaying those memories in my mind. I knew I needed to forgive. A dark sorrow lifted from my soul. I felt happier, more self-confident and attractive. Back home, our senior fitness instructor noticed that I was wearing a new T-shirt. “You are really rockin’ that shirt,” she said. I smiled. She’d said that before, but this time I believed it. 1.Why did the author decide to attend the 40th high school reunion? A. To meet her old teachers. B. To prove her career success. C. To apologize for past misunderstandings. D. To confront hurtful boys and show her worth. 2.What can be inferred about the author’s feelings after the high school reunion? A. Confused and sad. B. Angry and proud. C. Relieved and confident. D. Disappointed and regretful. 3.What can we learn from this passage? A. The author fought against her bullies directly. B.

I have a mini pig that is not getting along with my dogs. So I can’t keep the pig.” Of course, the whole situation was strange, but I’ve always been a trusting person. I replied “Let me do some research and I’ll get back to you.” I knew nothing about mini pigs. I didn’t know what they ate; and I had no idea how big they got. Once I started doing some Internet research, I found a few people claiming that “there’s no such thing as a mini pig,” but I was blinded by my sudden obsession and my faith in my onetime friend. She had said the pig was six months old and this mini pig would grow to be about 70 pounds, maximum. That was pretty close to the size of Shelby, one of my dogs. So I told my former classmate that I’d take the animal. It’s intractable enough bringing a pig back to the house I share with two dogs, two cats and my husband, Derek. But I knew I wanted the pig and the day finally came. When Derek went back, he stood in the doorway like a statue. Every emotion other than happiness flashed across his face. He was extremely angry. The only positive thing I could say was, “She’s a mini pig! She’ll stay small!” Surprisingly, soon enough, the lovely pig smoothed things over by itself. Derek started talking about where the pig’s litter (窝)would go. You don’t care about “litter” of someone you’re getting rid of. However, a few months later, she’d started closing in on 80 pounds. It was becoming clear that I’d probably adopted a commercial pig and she was going to be enormous. While it might be unexpected, it’s more than worth it for the happiness she has added to our world. 1.What did the author do immediately after receiving her former classmate’s message? A. She decided to take the pig without hesitation. B. She discussed the matter with her husband Derek. C. She looked up information about mini pigs online. D. She asked the classmate about the pig’s habits. 2.The word “intractable” in the third paragraph most probably means ________. A. easy and comfortable B. difficult to handle C. exciting and interesting D. common and predictable 3.How did Derek feel when he first saw the pig? A. Curious and interested. B. Shocked and angry. C. Sympathetic and warm. D. Relaxed and joyful. 4.What is the main theme of the passage? A. The challenges and joys of adopting an unexpected pet. B. The importance of trusting old friends. C. The differences between mini pigs and commercial pigs. D. The need for researching before keeping a pet. / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 专题03 阅读理解（记叙文） 主题语境01 人与社会-历史、社会与文化 Passage 1 （25-26高二上·四川仁寿第一中学·期中）A teenager has realized her dream of becoming a model — just three years after a car accident left her with a broken back.

Little did she know, she needn’t have worried. In a video posted online, Corey displayed his planned smile for the picture at his new school. With a lovable grin (咧着嘴笑), Dorestant believed he was well-prepared. Dorestant shared, “Corey can become shy and anxious around people, so I wanted to make sure he felt at ease during his first picture day at the new school.” However, Corey’s actual pose for the picture was far from the shy and sweet smile his mom had expected. The video revealed Corey posing with left hand in his pocket and right hand resting under his chin (下巴) — a gesture that caught Dorestant completely off guard. “At the first sight of the picture, I was stunned; it took me about five minutes to process because I couldn’t believe what I saw,” Dorestant said. But eventually, she found it amusing. “I felt so proud of Corey for overcoming his nervousness and allowing his true personality to shine through. As a mother, my only wish is for him to be true to himself through any challenges he faces,” Dorestant said. Dorestant’s video has over 18 million views and 25,000 comments, with many surprised by the result. “Nothing could have prepared me for the ending,” one user wrote, while another commented that it was the “best case scenario (场景)”. For Dorestant, Corey’s first picture day served as a valuable lesson. “As parents, we often feel the need to protect our kids and prepare them for the world, which can make us anxious about their readiness, but we need to trust in their abilities and give them the space to shine on their own,” Dorestant said. 1.What did Dorestant worry about her son at first?

(然而，科里在照片中的实际姿势远非他妈妈所期望的害羞甜美的笑容)”可知，起初Dorestant担心儿子会因害羞和不安而不好意思在人前摆姿势拍照。故选B项。 (2)题解析： 词句猜测题。由第五段中““At the first sight of the picture, I was stunned; it took me about five minutes to process because I couldn’t believe what I saw,” Dorestant said. (“第一眼看到这张照片，我stunned；我花了大约五分钟的时间来处理，因为我简直不敢相信我所看到的，”Dorestant说)”可知，Dorestant简直不敢相信她在照片上看到的东西。由此推知，Dorestant在第一次看到照片时的反应是震惊的，划线词stunned与“shocked (震惊的)”意思一致。故选A项。 (3)题解析： 推理判断题。由倒数第二段中“Dorestant’s video has over 18 million views and 25,000 comments, with many surprised by the result. “Nothing could have prepared me for the ending,” one user wrote, while another commented that it was the “best case scenario (场景)”. (Dorestant的视频有超过1800万的浏览量和25000条评论，许多人对结果感到惊讶。一位用户写道：“没有什么能让我为结局做好准备”，而另一位用户则评论说这是“最好的情况”)”可推知，Dorestant的视频引起了网友的共鸣，受到了好评。故选D项。 (4)题解析： 细节理解题。由最后一段中Dorestant说的话“As parents, we often feel the need to protect our kids and prepare them for the world, which can make us anxious about their readiness, but we need to trust in their abilities and give them the space to shine on their own (作为父母，我们经常觉得有必要保护我们的孩子，让他们为这个世界做好准备，这可能会让我们对他们的准备感到焦虑，但我们需要相信他们的能力，给他们自己发光的空间)”可知，Dorestant建议家长们应相信孩子们的能力，给他们自己发光的空间，充分发挥孩子的潜力。故选C项。 主题语境02 人与社会-社会服务与人际沟通 （25-26高二上·四川成都青羊区石室中学-12月·期中）In Hazelwood, a group called Seedlings (幼苗) for Tomorrow gives every child three plants to grow in their own garden. Unlike a public park, these plants are theirs to keep forever. Kids “check out” at the city’s greenhouse not with money, but by joining the group’s Garden Buddy project. This project pairs each young gardener with an adult guide. They have a 45-minute virtual meeting each week to learn about gardening and nature. “Every kid should feel the joy of growing something with their own hands,” said Orson Pike, the project director. Orson started the non-profit organization Seedlings for Tomorrow in 2022. Soon he realized that just giving away plants wasn’t enough. “Some groups think dropping off supplies is helping. But if people don’t know how to use them, it’s like giving them a stone,” he explained. That’s why the program focuses on teaching skills — like how to water plants properly, what seasons are best for planting, and how to protect flowers from insects. At the greenhouse, children can pick from sunflowers, strawberries, lavender, and even small vegetable kits. There are guidebooks in both English and Welsh. Orson is already 70, but he’s always been enthusiastic about the growth of the next generation. He believes that by letting kids choose what they love, they’ll grow into passionate gardeners. Many kids even share their progress with classmates, making gardening a social activity. To attract more families, Seedlings for Tomorrow visits local primary schools and community centers. Orson also hopes to build small green stations around town where people can exchange seeds and gardening tips. The project has received $20,000 from the UK-based Ecology Fund. The fund manager Elara Vane said, “Such programs are essential— they teach patience, responsibility and love for the environment, which helps kids both in and out of school,” adding that parents have noticed their children becoming more confident since joining the project. 1.What can a kid do by joining Garden Buddy project? A. Volunteer at the city’s greenhouse. B. Acquire gardening knowledge online. C. Sell garden plants to the adult guide. D. Receive free three plants every week. 2.What philosophy does Orson’s project demonstrate? A. Hard work is the mother of success. B. Guide others, and you will learn twice. C. Teach a man to fish, not give him a fish. D. Creative activities involve being confident. 3.How does the author highlight the project’s value in the last paragraph? A. By quoting an official. B. By giving examples. C. By providing statistics. D. By making a comparison. 4.Which word best describes Orson? A. Adventurous. B. Determined. C. Caring. D. Flexible. 【答案】1. B　2. C　3. A　4. C 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇记叙文。在黑泽尔伍德镇(Hazelwood), Seedlings for Tomorrow组织为每个孩子免费提供三株植物，让他们在自己的花园中种植。孩子们通过加入Garden Buddy项目，与成年导师配对，每周学习园艺和自然知识。 (1)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第一段“This project pairs each young gardener with an adult guide. They have a 45-minute virtual meeting each week to learn about gardening and nature.(该项目为每位年轻园丁配备一位成人导师。每周他们都会进行45分钟的线上交流，以学习园艺和自然知识)”可知，通过加入Garden Buddy项目，孩子们可以学习园艺和自然知识。故选B。 (2)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第二段““Some groups think dropping off supplies is helping. But if people don’t know how to use them, it’s like giving them a stone,” he explained. That’s why the program focuses on teaching skills — like how to water plants properly, what seasons are best for planting, and how to protect flowers from insects.(“有些团体认为发放物资是有帮助的。但要是人们不知道如何使用这些物资，那就好比给他们一块石头。”他解释道。这就是为什么这个项目侧重于传授技能——比如如何正确给植物浇水、哪些季节最适合种植、以及如何保护花卉免受昆虫侵害)”可知，Orson认为仅仅提供植物是不够的，更重要的是教会人们如何种植、照顾它们。这与“授人以鱼不如授人以渔”的理念相符合。故选C。 (3)题解析： 推理判断题。根据最后一段“The fund manager Elara Vane said, “Such programs are essential— they teach patience, responsibility and love for the environment, which helps kids both in and out of school,” adding that parents have noticed their children becoming more confident since joining the project.(基金经理埃拉拉·瓦恩说：“这类项目非常重要——它们能培养孩子们的耐心、责任感以及对环境的关爱，这对他们在校内外都有所裨益。”她还表示，家长们注意到自从参与该项目后，孩子们变得更加自信了)”可知，作者通过引用Ecology Fund的基金经理Elara Vane的话来强调该项目的价值。故选A。 (4)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第一段“Every kid should feel the joy of growing something with their own hands,” said Orson Pike, the project director.(项目负责人奥森·派克说道：“每个孩子都应该体验亲手种植作物所带来的快乐。”)”以及第三段“Orson is already 70, but he’s always been enthusiastic about the growth of the next generation. He believes that by letting kids choose what they love, they’ll grow into passionate gardeners. Many kids even share their progress with classmates, making gardening a social activity.(奥森已经70岁了，但他一直对下一代的成长充满热情。他认为，只要让孩子们选择自己喜爱的事物，他们就会成长为充满热情的园丁。许多孩子还会向同学分享自己的成长过程，这使得园艺成为了一项社交活动)”可知，Orson创办了非营利组织Seedlings for Tomorrow，并致力于通过该项目教会孩子们园艺技能和对环境的热爱。他相信通过让孩子们选择自己喜欢的植物，他们会成长为热情的园丁。此外，他还希望建立小型绿色站点，让人们可以交换种子和园艺技巧。这些行为都表明Orson是一个关心他人、尤其是关心下一代成长的人。故选C。 主题语境03 人与自我-生活与学习 Passage 1 （25-26高二上·四川成都列五中学·期中）Mr Dan Marcanruono, known as Mr Marc, teaches philosophy and moral thinking at a high school. Before becoming an educator, Mr Marc worked in healthcare consulting, drove a delivery truck for a laundry company and worked temporarily in business development. Teaching wasn’t something he had seriously considered until he joined the Master of Fine Arts program in creative writing at Bowling Green State University in Ohio. As part of his scholarship, he was required to teach courses in creative writing to college students. “I don’t think I would have gotten into teaching if I hadn’t gone to that school.” he said. From his teaching experiences, Mr Marc quickly realized that teaching requires more than just knowing the subject. One moment that reshaped his view of teaching occurred during his first year when a student lost his father. The experience made him realize how essential it is to create an environment that assists students facing personal challenges. When transitioning from teaching college to high school, Mr Marc admitted that he struggled with constantly having to adapt and come up with new ideas. “Getting accustomed to the workload and curriculum when it’s all so new to me has been one of the biggest challenges so far,” he explained. Mr Marc believes authority doesn’t come from simply having a title. “There’s a lot I can be doing to make students feel confident and capable in the classroom,” he said. By encouraging a sense of teamwork and mutual respect, he aims to create an environment where students feel valued. “I try to get to know my students and then take time during class to talk to them individually,” he added. This approach helps students feel noticed. “My ultimate goal as a teacher is to help students start to question the things they take for granted or the things they just assume are true about the world,” said Mr Marc, who describes his teaching journey as a blessing. He acknowledges that his path to teaching was unexpected, but he’s grateful for the experiences he has come across. 1.What can we learn about Mr Marc before he became a teacher? A. He worked in various fields. B. He specialized in creative writing. C. He taught at a university full-time. D. He had always dreamed of being a teacher. 2.What made Mr Marc change his view on teaching? A. His scholarship requirement. B. A student’s personal tragedy. C. His Master’s program in creative writing. D. The difference between college and high school teaching. 3.Which of the following is a challenge Mr Marc faced when teaching high school? A. Building authority among students. B. Helping students facing personal challenges. C. Adapting to the new workload and curriculum. D. Making students feel valued in class. 4.What is Mr Marc’s ultimate goal as a teacher? A. To help students develop critical thinking. B. To make students feel confident in class. C. To encourage teamwork among students. D. To get to know each student individually. 【答案】1. A　2. B　3. C　4.

After all, Montreal has more people in it than the entire province where I grew up. I spent the first months getting lost going everywhere. Even the weather confused me; I didn’t know whether to leave the house with a raincoat, sweater, or a hat. And I’d never felt more alone. I knew no one in the city where I’d come for grad school (研究生院). I badly wanted to have a sense of familiarity. I wondered at first if I’d ever truly fit into this new city. However, over time, I began to adapt. Above all, I made friends, newcomers like myself. We have started to build a community of our own. I’ve realized that finding my place is a never-ending process — one that requires depending on old comforts, like food from home, and discovering new ones, like picnicking in the park. It also requires a supportive network of people willing to help each other out. This year showed me what a difference our community of guiding can make. Recently, at Sherbrooke station, a lady asked for directions to St-Denis Street. To my joy, I knew the way. In my excitement, I gave her not one, but three different routes (路线). After she left, I laughed at how things had changed. From getting lost on simple walks to confidently guiding others, this year will forever be a reminder that despite the ups and downs, it is possible to find a place for myself in a big city. 1.Why did the author feel especially lonely after moving to Montreal? A. Because the weather was always bad. B. Because he had no friends or family there. C. Because he couldn’t understand the language. D. Because the city was too crowded. 2.What helped the author most in adapting to life in Montreal? A. Making friends with other newcomers. B. Buying a detailed map of the city. C. Learning the local language quickly. D. Finding a part-time job. 3.Why did the author laugh after giving directions at Sherbrooke station? A. The lady told a funny joke. B. The lady thanked him in a humorous way. C. He realized how much he had grown. D. He gave the wrong directions on purpose. 4.What’s the best title for the passage? A. Weather Confusion in a New City B. A Guide to Montreal's Streets C. The Challenges of Grad School D. Finding My Place in Montreal 【答案】1. B　2. A　3. C　4.

So I took out a wide-mouthed mug (大杯) and placed the stub into it, gave it a little water, and placed it by the window. On a snowy morning, I noticed the first sign. A first small leaf from its heart spread out. A tiny green flag of hope. Beaten, but not defeated. Within days, it was impossible to see the cuts where I had removed the leaves. The growth was explosive. And when I lifted the blossoming head out of the mug, tiny root threads fell down, seeking for the earth. What is growing here? Lettuce or hope? If I were a lettuce in a similar condition, I’d want to doubtfully assess where I found myself before being devoted to full growth. Yet for this lettuce, my inadequate offering of water and a place by a window was enough for it to decide to reclaim itself again. It grew in a mug of water, in faith. This is the heart of this lettuce: alive, strong and fearless. It deserved a name. I decided to call it Monty. Monty wanted to grow, as we all do. I think I gave him a little love and freedom. Those two ingredients were all he needed to return to himself. I see joy in this lettuce. The return to self is always an expression of joy, which is life itself. With the right ingredients, this is the tendency of all living things. Monty still lives in a mug, but I’m going to transplant him outside. He deserves to become his full self. The only problem I see now is my capacity to support Monty. I hope I have enough of a green finger. I’m surprised to find myself where I am. Maybe Monty is, too. I have the same choice as he does: give in, or start again. The prospect of starting again is discouraging. But my lettuce-friend, Monty, leads the way. I can only hope to be as brave. 1.Why did the author put the stub in water? A. To hope that it would grow. B. To decorate the nice mug. C. To play a game. D. To remove his bad mood. 2.What is the first sign of life in the author’s eyes? A. The remaining stub. B. The small leaf. C. The disappearing cuts. D. The tiny root threads. 3.How would the author feel if in the lettuce’s situation? A. Hesitant. B. Fearless. C. Confident. D. Annoyed. 4.What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Enjoy your own life to the fullest B. Believe in yourself when in trouble C. Never be afraid to restart yourself D. Give freedom to the heart in a way 【答案】1. A　2. B　3. A　4.

Along a one-mile walking path, dozens of tiny fairy houses hide among trees and mossy areas. When storms damage these small houses, someone secretly fixes them. This secret builder is Therese Ojibway, a 60-year-old teacher from Millburn, New Jersey, who started this work five years ago. As a child in Michigan, Therese built fairy houses with her sisters. Her mother taught her to see magic in common things, which started her fairy path work. The fairy path truly began when Therese’s son Clinton was found to have autism (自闭症) at age two. Therese took Clinton on nature walks in the woods to help him. During these walks, Clinton noticed small natural details — a hollow log, a strange rock. These walks helped Therese remember her childhood imagination. “In the woods, I could follow his pace,” she explains. “We discovered magic together.” Years later, during difficult times, Therese began placing handmade fairy things along the path — small beds, swings, and ladders. As more houses appeared, the community joined in, leaving small gifts of nuts and seashells for the fairy neighbors. The work faced problems occasionally. Children broke one of Therese’s most difficult works — a two-story fairy house with a moss roof. However, Therese did not give up, just like she didn’t give up her son. Today, the fairy path remains special. “The joy is in making and sharing,” says Therese, whose patience was developed through raising an autistic child. Now Clinton is much better. The fairy path shows how creativity and patience can create something wonderful where broken things are mended and wonder never stops. 1.What made Therese seriously start the fairy path work in South Mountain Park? A. The community’s expectation of creating a magical path. B. Her mother’s teaching about finding magic in common things. C. The need to help her autistic son Clinton through nature walks. D. Her childhood experience of building fairy houses with sisters. 2.How did the community participate in the fairy path project? A. Organized group activities for children with special needs. B. Began to build more elaborate fairy houses along the path. C. Helped Therese maintain and repair the damaged fairy houses. D. Contributed by offering small presents for the fairy residents. 3.Where can we infer Therese’s patience mainly comes from? A. The support from the local community. B. Her childhood habit of exploring nature. C. Her long-term experience of raising Clinton. D. Repairing broken fairy houses again and again. 4.What is the main idea of the passage? A. An autistic boy’s recovery is related to nature walks. B. Therese’s childhood memory leads her to build fairy houses. C. A magical fairy path in New Jersey’s park attracts many visitors. D. Therese uses creativity and patience to create a special fairy path. 【答案】1. C　2. D　3. C　4.

Again, there was a terrible sound of thunder. He tried to focus on the novel, but the sudden sound of the doorbell interrupted (打断) him. It couldn’t be his parents. He looked at the wall clock—it was only ten minutes past three. Usually, they got home after six in the afternoon. The doorbell sounded again. “Who’s there?” he shouted. There was no reply. The doorbell sounded again. He remembered his parents telling him not to open the door without checking who it is. “Should I answer the bell or not?” thought Karthik. He decided to first prepare himself for an unpleasant encounter (遭遇). He went into a room and came out with a baseball bat (棒球棒), which he hid behind the door in case he needed it. But still, he needed to make sure who was at the door before he opened it. He shouted once again, “Who’s at the door?” There was still no reply. No sound of footsteps, either. He held the baseball bat in one hand and was ready to open the door with the other. Suddenly, there was a loud cry. “Karthik! Karthik! Why don’t you open the door?” “There is no doubt about it; it’s Dad,” Karthik shouted and rushed forward to open the door. “Why are you holding a baseball bat?” asked Karthik’s father.

It had been forty years since I graduated high school, but the staircase haunted my memories. Boys would sit on both sides of the staircase, rating the girls as we walked by. If they thought a girl was really ugly, they barked. Every time I walked up or down those stairs, the barks, woofs, and laughter rang in my ears. “Just ignore them,” my mother advised. And I did. On the surface. But inside, the painful message that I was ugly rooted deep into my soul. Eventually, I graduated, got accepted to college and landed a rewarding career. Then I got an invitation to my fortieth high school reunion. I didn’t like high school, but I wanted to go back and tell those boys how hurtful and unkind they were. And I wanted to show them they were wrong. I had a husband, a family and all the things they’d made me feel I wasn’t worthy of. In September, I put on my favorite blouse, touched up my make-up, and drove to the Friday night opening reception. However, on the night, people greeted me politely, flattering me with “You haven’t changed at all.” I’d look at the face and study the nametag with the graduation photo, but it didn’t ring a bell most of the time. Was I at the wrong reunion? No, some women remembered my mother being their Girl Scout leader. Others had kind things to say about my father, a local college professor. My planned speech wilted (枯萎) on my lips. Instead, I chatted breezily about my two grown sons and living in Seattle. People were nice enough, but aside from a couple of friends, I felt like I was talking to strangers. It was pointless to hold a grudge (怨恨) against people I couldn’t even recognize. I was only hurting myself by replaying those memories in my mind. I knew I needed to forgive. A dark sorrow lifted from my soul. I felt happier, more self-confident and attractive. Back home, our senior fitness instructor noticed that I was wearing a new T-shirt. “You are really rockin’ that shirt,” she said. I smiled. She’d said that before, but this time I believed it. 1.Why did the author decide to attend the 40th high school reunion? A. To meet her old teachers. B. To prove her career success. C. To apologize for past misunderstandings. D. To confront hurtful boys and show her worth. 2.What can be inferred about the author’s feelings after the high school reunion? A. Confused and sad. B.

I didn’t like high school, but I wanted to go back and tell those boys how hurtful and unkind they were. And I wanted to show them they were wrong. I had a husband, a family and all the things they’d made me feel I wasn’t worthy of. (后来，我收到了参加高中40周年同学聚会的邀请。我不喜欢高中，但我想回去告诉那些男孩，他们是多么伤人，多么不友善。我想证明他们错了。我有丈夫，有家庭，还有所有那些他们让我觉得自己不配拥有的一切)”可知，作者参加40周年高中同学会的目的是要面对曾经伤害她的男生，告诉他们其行为的伤人之处，并向他们展示她的自身价值。故选D。 (2)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第五段“It was pointless to hold a grudge (怨恨) against people I couldn’t even recognize. I was only hurting myself by replaying those memories in my mind. I knew I needed to forgive. A dark sorrow lifted from my soul. I felt happier, more self-confident and attractive.(对那些我甚至都认不出的人怀有怨恨，实在毫无意义。我在脑海里反复回想那些往事，不过是在自我伤害罢了。我明白，自己必须选择原谅。一种深深的悲伤从我的灵魂中消散，我感到前所未有的轻松快乐，也变得更加自信、更具魅力)”可知，同学会后作者心中的沉重悲伤消散，变得更快乐、更自信、更有魅力。由此推知，作者在同学会后感到释怀且自信。故选C。 (3)题解析： 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Back home, our senior fitness instructor noticed that I was wearing a new T-shirt. “You are really rockin’ that shirt,” she said.(回到家，我们的老年健身教练注意到我穿了一件新T恤。“你穿这件衣服真好看，”她说)”以及最后一段“I smiled. She’d said that before, but this time I believed it.(我笑了笑。她以前也这么说过，但这次我相信了。)”可知，健身教练的赞美第一次被作者真正接受。故选D。 (4)题解析： 主旨大意题。根据全文内容，尤其是倒数第三段“I knew I needed to forgive. A dark sorrow lifted from my soul. I felt happier, more self-confident and attractive. (我明白，自己必须选择原谅。一种深深的悲伤从我的灵魂中消散，我感到前所未有的轻松快乐，也变得更加自信、更具魅力)”可知，文章主要讲述了作者放下怨恨，通过原谅过去伤害过她的人，释放了内心的痛苦，变得更加快乐和自信。由此可知，A选项“The Power of Letting Go(放下的力量)”能够概括文章主旨，为最佳标题。故选A。 主题语境03 人与自然-自然生态 （25-26高二上·四川南充高级中学·期中）One night, I received a message from my former classmate, someone I hadn’t spoken to in 15 years. “Hey Mary,” she said. “I know you’ve always been an animal lover. I have a mini pig that is not getting along with my dogs. So I can’t keep the pig.” Of course, the whole situation was strange, but I’ve always been a trusting person. I replied “Let me do some research and I’ll get back to you.” I knew nothing about mini pigs. I didn’t know what they ate; and I had no idea how big they got. Once I started doing some Internet research, I found a few people claiming that “there’s no such thing as a mini pig,” but I was blinded by my sudden obsession and my faith in my onetime friend. She had said the pig was six months old and this mini pig would grow to be about 70 pounds, maximum. That was pretty close to the size of Shelby, one of my dogs. So I told my former classmate that I’d take the animal. It’s intractable enough bringing a pig back to the house I share with two dogs, two cats and my husband, Derek. But I knew I wanted the pig and the day finally came. When Derek went back, he stood in the doorway like a statue. Every emotion other than happiness flashed across his face. He was extremely angry. The only positive thing I could say was, “She’s a mini pig! She’ll stay small!” Surprisingly, soon enough, the lovely pig smoothed things over by itself. Derek started talking about where the pig’s litter (窝)would go. You don’t care about “litter” of someone you’re getting rid of. However, a few months later, she’d started closing in on 80 pounds. It was becoming clear that I’d probably adopted a commercial pig and she was going to be enormous. While it might be unexpected, it’s more than worth it for the happiness she has added to our world. 1.What did the author do immediately after receiving her former classmate’s message? A. She decided to take the pig without hesitation. B. She discussed the matter with her husband Derek. C. She looked up information about mini pigs online. D. She asked the classmate about the pig’s habits. 2.The word “intractable” in the third paragraph most probably means ________. A. easy and comfortable B. difficult to handle C. exciting and interesting D. common and predictable 3.How did Derek feel when he first saw the pig? A. Curious and interested. B. Shocked and angry. C. Sympathetic and warm. D. Relaxed and joyful. 4.What is the main theme of the passage? A. The challenges and joys of adopting an unexpected pet. B. The importance of trusting old friends. C. The differences between mini pigs and commercial pigs. D. The need for researching before keeping a pet. 【答案】1. C　2. B　3. B　4. A 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述作者收养迷你猪的经历，从决定收养到猪长大后的感受。 (1)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第一段“I replied “Let me do some research and I’ll get back to you”.(我回复说“让我做些研究，然后再回复你。”)”和第二段“Once I started doing some Internet research, I found a few people claiming that “there’s no such thing as a mini pig”.(一旦我开始做一些网络研究，我就发现有几个人声称“没有迷你猪这种东西”。)”可知，作者在收到老同学的短信后立即在网上查找关于迷你猪的信息。故选C。 (2)题解析： 词句猜测题。根据第三段“It’s intractable enough bringing a pig back to the house I share with two dogs, two cats and my husband, Derek. But I knew I wanted the pig and the day finally came.(把一头猪带回我和两只狗、两只猫以及丈夫德里克同住的房子里，这件事已经够intractable了。但我知道我想要这头猪，这一天终于来了)”可知，家里已有多种宠物，再带猪回家是件麻烦事，由此可知，划线单词“intractable”意为“难以处理的”。故选B。 (3)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第三段“When Derek went back, he stood in the door way like a statue. Every emotion other than happiness flashed across his face. He was extremely angry.(当德里克回去时，他像一尊雕像一样站在门口。除了快乐，他脸上闪过各种情绪。他非常生气。)”可知，德里克第一次看到这头猪时，他的表情除了快乐之外，闪过各种情绪，而且他非常生气，由此可推测出他此时应该是既震惊又愤怒。故选B。 (4)题解析： 主旨大意题。文章第一段讲述了作者收到老同学的短信，老同学因为迷你猪和家里的狗相处不好，所以想把猪送给作者。第二段讲述了作者虽然对迷你猪一无所知，但还是决定收养它。第三段讲述了作者把猪带回家后，丈夫德里克看到猪时的反应。第四段讲述了这只猪越长越大，可能是一只商业猪，但作者一家仍然因为它的到来而感到快乐。因此，这篇文章主要讲述了作者收养了一只意想不到的宠物——一头猪，虽然养这头猪给作者一家带来了挑战，但是这头猪也给作者一家带来了快乐，所以这篇文章的主题应该是收养一只意想不到的宠物所带来的挑战和快乐。故选A。 / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
