专题04 阅读理解（记叙文+议论文） 主题语境01 人与社会-历史、社会与文化 （25-26高一上·广东中山纪念中学）As Eline reached the top of Mount Langley, a 14,000-foot mountain in California’s Eastern Sierra Nevada, she could feel the soft sand under her feet and hear the enveloping silence of the wonderful mountain. But she couldn’t see a thing. Born almost completely blind, Eline is among a growing number of outdoor-adventure athletes who refused to let disabilities reduce them to onlookers. She had a strong desire to take part in outdoor activities when she was very young. Unfortunately, her early efforts to fit in with the other kids didn’t go well. While she experienced countless failures, she faced up to them. When it comes to her final success in outdoor sports, it is all credited to her doctor who is expert in instructing blind runners. Impressed by Eline’s love for adventure, the doctor recommended her to join a half-marathon. Eline had never run more than 4 or 5 miles at that point. She worried about making a fool of herself or wasting her doctor’s time. “Don’t worry,” he assured her. “If we have to walk the last few miles, it’s no big deal.” Eline ran every step of that race and won her division. It was her first taste of athletic success and a turning point. Since then, she has traveled the globe, blowing away most of her visually impaired (视觉障碍的) competition in 47 marathons, from New York to Athens to Barcelona. In 2015, she won her division in the Boston Marathon, one of the most celebrated and competitive races in the world. Marathons had become sort of Eline’s routine, but climbing a 14,000-foot mountain was so wildly out of her comfort zone that it brought back the butterflies she felt in her stomach before that first half-marathon more than a decade ago. Now, she made it. The change was just as meaningful. “Life can be scary, but fear doesn’t help,” she said. “Being blind creates hardships other athletes don’t face, but it also brings out extraordinary grace and generosity (大方).” 1.What can we learn about Eline from the first two paragraphs? A. She got along well with others. B. She had a strong determination. C. Her dream gave in to disabilities. D. Her blindness resulted from climbing. 2.What has contributed to Eline’s success according to paragraph 3? A. Her tireless efforts. B. Her love for adventure. C. Her families’ support and company. D. Her doctor’s guidance and encouragement. 3.Why does the author mention Boston Marathon in paragraph 4? A. To popularize a famous event. B. To promote Eline’s sportsmanship. C. To show Eline’s achievements. D. To praise visually impaired athletes. 4.Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Blind Courage B. Narrow Success C. A Challenging Climb D. An Eventful Adventure 主题语境02 人与社会-文学、艺术与体育 （25-26高一上·广东惠州第八中学-12月·期中）Olympic athletes pour everything into training for the Games, routinely pushing their physical and mental bounds to the limit — and beyond — for a shot at a gold medal. Yet they are often accompanied by an emotional comedown. Emotions are heightened by the nature of the event itself. The Olympics is a massive cultural event — a combination of global public attention, financial investment and media coverage New international celebrities are created, and some competitors’ reputations are ruined during various accusations. Athletes are under the pressure of representing their country and winning medals in front of worldwide audience. “But then all of that publicity and intensity around being an Olympian falls off very quickly,” says Cogan, a lead sport psychologist. It’s more about making a map of how to get to a destination. Once you get there, it’s like, “Now what?” A 2023 paper explained the identity crises athletes face as a result of overfocus on performance,leaving their non-sporting personalities underdeveloped. In a 2018 paper, Howells wrote that athletes with a greater “myopic” (短视的) focus are more at risk of the “blues”. “It is common for top competitors to have this very high-athletic identity,” says Howells. “They’ve sacrificed (牺牲) every other aspect of their identity for the purpose of being an Olympian. They seem unable to realize that their actions might have negative consequences in the future.” Efforts to minimize this mindset have helped some athletes to open up more about their mental health. Experts advise Olympians to start conversations about mental health support well before the Games begin. Olympians should also discuss mental health monitoring strategies before, during and after the Games. Athletes and experts say the sporting industry has, in the last decade, been promoting better work-life balance outside of the game. Brana, a soccer goalkeeper, says that her team and coaches actively encourage spending quantity time with families and significant others, as well as finding hobbies that feel joyful and rewarding. 1.What is the main cause for Olympic athletes’ mental breakdown? A. A sense of loss. B. The media coverage. C. The pressure of competition. D. The audience’s attention. 2.What can be inferred from the third paragraph about athletes with a “myopic” focus? A. They plan their life after retirement well. B. They seldom win medals in competitions. C. They balance success and failure better. D. They overlook other sides of themselves. 3.What might be a fundamental solution to the athletes’ identity crisis? A. Having higher athletic identity. B. Discussing their problems publicly. C. Developing a sense of identity outside the sport. D. Making greater achievements in sporting industry. 4.Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Olympic Athletes Suffering from Stress. B. From Hero to Zero: the Post-Olympic Blues. C. Athletes Adapting to Post-Olympic Period. D. From Bad to Worse: Athletes’ mental Well-being. 主题语境03 人与自我-生活与学习 Passage 1 （25-26高一上·广东惠州第一中学-11月·期中）My grandmother knew what every Italian-American grandmother knows: that food brings us together, and that one of the best ways to show people you love them is to feed them. It’s no surprise, then, that so many of our family traditions centered around food. We’d gather in the kitchen for every birthday and holiday, filling up on antipasto (开胃菜) before piling our plates high with the main course. My grandparents always hosted Christmas dinner, and it was always more than enough, but right before we sat down to eat, she’d pull me aside to show me the dish she made just for me: fresh pasta with tomato sauce, my absolute favorite food in the world. It was a simple dish, but to me it was everything. It was the feeling of comfort in a bowl, warm food that filled me with joy. But more than that, it was a gesture that made me feel like I belonged. I was a shy kid, still trying to understand who I was, and in many situations I felt invisible. I’d wonder whether anyone saw me, or if I mattered at all. And here was my grandmother, showing me that she cared for me, and that I was worth making something special for. Years went by; I moved away and got married, but food was always one of the ways my grandmother showed her love. I’d visit throughout the years and she’d serve up a plate of pasta, some leftover dessert she had and a few pieces of fruit she pulled from the fridge. When my daughter was born in 2020, for the first time in my life I wasn’t about to make the trip back home for Christmas. Trying to make the most of things, I cooked my family’s traditional foods including, of course, fresh pasta. I facetimed my parents and they handed the phone to my grandmother, and I showed her the pasta. I didn’t know it then, but it was the last time I’d ever speak with her. Shortly after the holidays she passed away unexpectedly. It all seemed not fair that my grandmother passed away so soon after I became a parent. I’d hold my daughter and think about how she’d never get to experience my grandmother’s love, her sense of humor or her cooking. I’d wonder how I could make her feel the same sense of belonging and love that I felt through my grandmother’s pasta. 1.What does food mean in the author’s family according to the first two paragraphs? A. A bond that unites family members. B. A tradition only for birthdays and holidays. C. A symbol of happiness among family members. D. A way to satisfy hunger during family gatherings. 2.What made the author feel unique about the pasta? A. The pasta was a rare dish that was difficult to make. B. The pasta showed grandmother’s love and attention. C. The author was the only one who was offered the pasta. D. The pasta showed the author was important among her peers. 3.Why did the author feel unfair about her grandmother’s passing? A. Because she couldn’t cook her grandmother traditional foods. B. Because she had no chance to say goodbye to her grandmother. C. Because her grandmother didn’t get to see her daughter grow up. D. Because her daughter would miss out her grandmother’s warmth. 4.Which of the following can best describe the author’s grandmother? A. Helpful and generous B. Considerate and caring C. Careful and courageous D. Humorous and responsible Passage 2 （25-26高一上·广东深圳罗湖高级中学·期中）In middle school, I was one of the “gifted” kids. I felt like I was on top of the world. I was able to even use my “gifted” title to get accepted into a famous private high school, something I’d never expected. Then high school began. All of a sudden, I was no longer at the top of my class. Teachers didn’t look to me for the correct answer. My papers were filled with corrections, not praise. To put it simply, all the straight-As on my report card were quickly disappearing. My parents’ concern grew — they began to search for tutors and would constantly ask me as if they were trying to find out what was wrong with me. My concern grew too — the pressure to live up to their expectations only became greater and I found myself constantly anxious, and worrying about school. Last week, watching Simone Biles pull out of the Olympics reminded me of this feeling. Simone Biles: the GOAT (Greatest of All Time). If there was any one person we knew we could depend on to win gold in her event, it was Simone. But that kind of pressure is unbearable. Imagine having to practically carry the Olympics on your back because all of the United States feels as though they can rely on you. However, unlike me and my freshman-year identity crisis, Simone recognized the pressure she was under. She had the bravery and self-reflective skills to be able to realize that the pressure of perfection was too much for her to handle. Simone Biles has taught me a very important lesson: to be the greatest person of all time, mental health must come first. Instead of getting down on myself for not performing the way I wanted to, I need to take a note from Simone and be kind to myself, taking a break and asking for help when necessary. Taking care of yourself and your mental health is nothing to be ashamed of. After all, if GOAT can do it, so can we! 1.How might the author find her middle school life? A. Challenging. B. Peaceful. C. Meaningless. D. Satisfying. 2.What may be a reason for the author’s anxiety? A. Disappointing her parents. B. Caring about her appearance. C. Failing to be admitted to college. D. Being unable to complete her papers. 3.What might Simone Biles be? A. A professional athlete. B. An Olympic official. C. An event organizer. D. A medal presenter. 4.What did the author learn from Biles? A. Deal with pressure on our own. B. Taking care of ourselves matters. C. Never seek help whatever happens. D. Winning comes first in all the fields. Passage 3 （25-26高一上·广东多校联考·期中）Snowboarding genius Su Yiming made a name for himself by winning China’s first Olympic gold in the men’s snowboard big air final at the Beijing Winter Olympics. By cleanly stomping back-to-back 1800 tricks, the teenager has landed the biggest prize so far in his young career. The notable achievement realized his childhood dream to reach the peak of the sport, which he began to learn at the age of 4. Now with two shinning medals hung around his neck, the 17-year-old described his superb Olympic debut (首次亮相) as an unbelievable experience that has made all his sacrifices worthwhile. “This feels so surreal that I’ve finally accomplished what I’ve dreamed of since I was little,” said Su. Over the past four years, Su has combined his talent with hard work to produce one of the swiftest rises to prominence (杰出) the sport has ever seen. When the Shougang Big Air venue hosted its first international event, Su was an unknown qualifier, who didn’t even make the final runs. Just over two years later, Su is the name on everyone’s lips at the venue’s Olympic debut, drawing the whole nation’s attention to the sport he loves. “The biggest motivation for me is my love for snowboarding,” Su said, when asked about the secret to his success. “In snowboarding, I feel like I can show my own style and creativity. Every time I ride my board, it’s always a joyful moment. I hope through my experience, I can inspire more young people to get interested in the sport.” Su, a former child actor who featured in action movies, said the Olympic gold will encourage him to seek for more breakthroughs, even beyond his athletic career. “I enjoy snowboarding just as much as I enjoy acting,” said Su, who turns 18 on Friday. “I think I still have a lot of possibilities to explore in my future career either in snowboarding or in acting. But now I just want to enjoy the moment and celebrate it as the best possible birthday gift.” 1.What does the underlined word “landed” in paragraph 1 mean? A. Reached. B. Gained. C. Created. D.

When he was young, Kadur was fascinated by Jim Corbett’s tales of big cats. Inspired, he once cycled into the jungle with a friend to observe big cats at a watering hole. At night, they really saw a big cat. Bathed in moonlight, he realized his life’s goal: to capture and share nature’s wonders. At 12, he borrowed his father’s camera — a “magic box” that froze time. His father, an entomologist(昆虫学家), got him looking at the small things. So he began intentionally focusing his lens on small insects, trying to understand what he was looking at. He would develop the camera film weeks later, annotating(注释)the settings and reattempting the shots. As he grew older, his love for nature, however, conflicted with academics. Failing high school, he moved to Brownsville, Texas to study hotel management — a choice that unexpectedly refueled his love for storytelling. In Brownsville, Kadur explored Mexico’s cloud forests and landed a job as a jungle tour guide. There, he met filmmaker John Bax, who introduced him to documentary work. When they embarked on a documentary project together, Bax withdrew from it. Kadur, then 19 and untrained in film, pursued the project on his own. He spent three years filming India’s Western Ghats, capturing species like the “smoke cat” for the first time. His debut film, Sahyadris: Mountains of the Monsoon, brought the Western Ghats’ biodiversity into attention, aiding its 2012 UNESCO World Heritage status. Through visual storytelling, Kadur offers his audiences glimpses into a rarely-seen natural world, urging them to protect its delicate inhabitants. “Visual art has conveyed stories for millennia. Now we’re doing that with technology, and it will continue to advance.” said Kadur, “I think the impact of storytelling can last a lifetime. It can last generations.” 1.What led Kadur into nature? A. Fever for big cats. B. Love for adventure. C. Curiosity about filming. D. Fascination with Jim’s tales. 2.What was his father’s influence on him? A. Teaching him photography skills. B. Introducing him to documentary work. C. Helping him regain love for storytelling. D. Arousing his curiosity about scientific details. 3.What is Kadur’s opinion about visual storytelling? A. It well entertains audiences. B. It serves as a bridge for nature. C. Its value lies in expression skills. D. Its impact depends on technology. 4.Which of the following words can best describe Kadur? A. Passionate and dedicated. B. Talented and ambitious. C. Independent and committed. D. Responsible and generous. 主题语境01 人与社会-历史、社会与文化 Passage 1 （25-26高一上·广东惠州第八中学-12月·期中）Jane Goodall is a name deeply connected with wildlife protection. Her groundbreaking work, which began in 1960 in Tanzania’s Gombe Stream National Park, completely changed scientists’ ideas about how smart animals are and what makes humans unique. Without a college degree at first, Goodall used great patience and an open mind to study chimpanzees (黑猩猩). She didn’t see them just as animals, but as individuals with their own personalities, feelings, and social lives. A key moment came when a chimpanzee she named David Greybeard allowed her to watch him closely. She saw him change a twig (小枝) by removing its leaves and use it to “fish” for termites (白蚁). This was an important discovery because, at that time, scientists believed only humans could make and use tools. This finding challenged the idea that humans were completely different from other animals. As the well-known anthropologist (人类学家) Louis Leakey said, it forced science to rethink the definition of “human.” Over time, Goodall formed close friendships with the chimpanzees, especially with a mother named Flo and her family. These strong personal connections allowed her to see into their world and deeply understand their family life and social behavior. Her unusual path — earning a PhD from Cambridge University without first getting a bachelor’s degree — showed her strong devotion. Knowing she needed to do more, she started the Jane Goodall Institute (JGI) in 1977. This organization leads global protection efforts and runs youth programs like “Roots & Shoots,” while also supporting women in science. Jane Goodall’s legacy (传承) goes far beyond her scientific discoveries. She showed the world that animals have complex emotions and intelligence, which helps people respect nature more. Even into her nineties, she continued to encourage people to protect wildlife and the environment around them. Through her life’s work, Goodall taught us that understanding and valuing other species is important for the health of our planet and for our own humanity. 1.Why is Jane Goodall’s work called “groundbreaking”? A. Changed views on animal intelligence. B. Proved all animals use tools. C. Created new research methods. D. Showed women can be scientists. 2.How did Goodall discover chimpanzees using tools? A. By reviewing existing theories. B. By doing experiments. C. By watching David Greybeard. D. By contacting local guides. 3.What does Goodall’s bond with Flo show? A. Long-term studies are effective. B. Tool usage requires long learning. C. A PhD degree ensures discovery. D. Emotional connection deepens research. 4.How does the text develop its main idea about Goodall? A. By comparing different research methods. B. By moving from discovery to influence. C. By listing life events in time order. D. By focusing on early African research Passage 2 （25-26高一上·广东惠州第八中学-12月·期中）Some high school students think it useless to receive higher education. Therefore, they choose not to go to college. If you’re one of them, think again. Here are some reasons why you should go to college and receive a good education there. Schools and universities are the first places to get knowledge. We take that knowledge later on to build our careers after graduation. More knowledge will be gained after you start working, but without education, that job will not be within easy reach. Knowledge leads to knowledge. While limited within the walls of the educational places, we openly explore other cultures of the world! We come to know that ours is not the only culture. Other cultures have valuable things to share, enriching our own. Education also makes us want to travel and exchange with various cultures, getting more experience. When there’s a recession in the economy, those who attended college will be more possible to find a new job than those who only finished high school and have a limited skills set. The more education you have, the more chances you will get to improve the quality of your life as you have a better job and earn a higher salary. When you’ re skillful and knowledgeable, you get close to people of similar backgrounds and tastes. It means a good education leads to excellent networking. Good networking can benefit you a lot in your later life. A good education also makes you a more interesting person. You can talk about ideas and events instead of just other people and what’s on sale in stores. An educated person doesn’t gossip. Instead, they have a preference to discuss ideas and listen to what other people have to say. 1.What is the main purpose of the first paragraph? A. To list the benefits of going to college. B. To introduce the topic and target readers. C. To criticize students who avoid college. D. To present different opinions about higher education. 2.What does the underlined phrase “within easy reach” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A. widely available B. easy to achieve C. physically close D. easy to understand 3.According to paragraph 3 and 4, What can be inferred about higher education? A. It allows students to avoid tough times. B. It focuses on making one more interesting. C. It is simply about job security in a recession. D. It brings both cultural and job-related benefits. 4.Which benefit of higher education is NOT mentioned in the passage? A. It helps in building a valuable social network. B. It encourages cultural awareness and exchange. C. It guarantees a high social status at once after graduation. D. It provides an advantage in the job market over the less-educated. Passage 3 （25-26高一上·广东深圳宝安区宝安中学·期中）When pop singer Chappell Roan spoke out against the invasive (侵入的) fan behavior she had been experiencing since her sudden rise to popularity earlier this year — tailing, unwanted touching, invasive contact with her friends and family members — she kicked off a major discussion about the relationship between a celebrity and their audience and the downside of so-called parasocial relationships. A parasocial relationship (PSR) is generally defined as a relationship in which one member of the relationship isn’t aware of the other — e.g. a fan loves a celebrity, but the celebrity doesn’t know they exist. Not only celebrities, PSRs also exist between people and fictional characters, whether played by an actor or not. A parasocial relationship isn’t necessarily a bad thing. But digital interaction complicates these natural relationships. The conventional arrangement of PSRs, where the fan or follower has no actual contact with a celebrity or creator, gets noticeably disrupted by our new platforms for communication — a celebrity might see a fan’s message or even reply. “When fans are gaining access to the celebrity through social media posts, it increases the feeling of closeness.” Says Stever, a researcher on this topic. As fandoms (粉丝群体) became more visible throughout the latter half of the 20th century, they became associated with youth and immaturity. adolescents (青少年) are most likely to develop intense parasocial relationships, because it can be a chance to practice real adult feelings on someone at a safe distance. And thanks to social media, behavior that might have been limited to one person or a few people might be given the chance to spread. So, a parasocial relationship that starts with healthy boundaries can turn sour. But, as Stever says, “Anything that can be true about a regular social relationship can be true about a parasocial relationship. Are they positive? Can they be good for us? Absolutely. Can they be negative? Can they be poisonous for us? We all know examples of that.” 1.Why’s pop singer Chappell Roan mentioned in paragraph 1? A. To criticize parasocial relationships. B. To reveal a fandom phenomenon. C. To recommend an interaction pattern. D. To introduce an academic discussion. 2.Which is a classic example of a parasocial relationship? A. Children are greatly attached to their parents. B. A reader loves a hero in Shakespeare’s play. C. A student establishes a solid friendship with a roommate. D. A singer interacts with fans at a meet-and-greet event. 3.How do social media affect parasocial relationships? A. They invade celebrities’ privacy. B. They cloud the lines between fans and celebrities. C. They develop a shared understanding. D. They promote adolescent immaturity. 4.Which is the best title for the text? A. Social Media: Restricting Parasocial Relationships B. Invasive Fandom: Unhealthy Fan- celebrity Bonds C. Disturbed Celebrities: From Admiration to Invasion D. Parasocial Relationships: Complicated in Digital Age Passage 4 （25-26高一上·广东深圳第二实验学校-12月·期中）My childhood was a painted picture of sunny sky and rolling green fields stretching to the horizon. It tasted of sharp berries and smelt of sour grapes. My family lived in a cabin(小木屋) in the countryside but I lived in my mother’s arms. They were so delicate but strong, her red hair falling around me like a curtain separating me from the world. Childhood was simple. The borders of my village were the furthest my troubles went and monsters only lived in the pages of books. Every day was a waking dream of running races and muddy knees. My village was archaic, dying cabins housing dying farmers with dying traditions. There weren’t many children but me and the other boys; boys of butchers and sellers formed our own group. They called us wild. I suppose we were. Trees and mountains formed our playgrounds and fights broke out as easily as sudden laughter. Liberated from the restrictions of society, we would bound into the woods, deeper and deeper until we found a lake which, with a wild yell, we would jump into all at once. My most vivid memories from boyhood center around that lake. Water shone brightly and the sounds of our screams broke into the outcry from birds. The shock of cold water against sweating skin would wake every nerve in my body and my bare feet would hit the sinking muddy bottom. As we submerged(淹没)， time would suspend， movements slowing as bubbles rose around us. I was drowning. I was living. I was living. I was drowning. For timelessness or a second (both felt the same), we would suspend, curl up, and then be forced back out into breathing air. We should have known that it wouldn’t last forever. Yet, even under the best circumstances, there’s something so tragic about growing up: to have your perspective on the people and life around you change;to always struggle to reach a mirror only to find yourself tall enough to see your reflection one day. And find, a different person staring back out at you. 1.What does the underlined word “archaic” mean in paragraph 2? A. Borderless. B. Valueless. C. Old-fashioned. D. Poverty-stricken. 2.Why did the author consider himself and other children wild? A. They played in the woods crazily. B. They tricked others purposefully. C. They frequently broke social rules. D. They firmly refused school education. 3.How does the author introduce his memories of the lake? A. By sharing feelings. B. By expressing ideas. C. By making comparisons. D. By describing characters. 4.What message does the author seem to convey in the last paragraph? A. Loneliness and challenges make a man grow up. B. The regret of growth is that you have never tried. C. Growth is often accompanied by sad goodbyes to the past. D. Growth begins when we begin to accept our own weakness. 主题语境02 人与社会-文学、艺术与体育 Passage 1 （25-26高一上·广东深圳宝安区宝安中学·期中）Born with a skin condition, Michaela Mabinty DePrince was labeled a “devil child” at her Sierra Leone orphanage (孤儿院), the last to be fed and the first to be beaten. When an issue of Dance Magazine blew into the orphanage yard, with a woman smiling on the cover, she imagined a better life as a ballerina. Adopted by an American family at age 4, she studied and practiced to make her dream a reality. When she was just 15, she was one of six promising dancers in the documentary First Position. She went on to study with the American Ballet Theater and became a dancer of the Dance Theater of Harlem. At the height of her career, she secured starring roles with the Dutch National Ballet and appearing in the film version of Beyoncé’s Lemonade. She was born in the war-torn West African country of Sierra Leone. When she was 3, her miner father was killed and her mother died of hunger. At the orphanage, she took to turning around quickly and standing on the tips of her toes, and the DePrinces, the couple who adopted her and brought her back to New Jersey, promised to take her to ballet lessons once she excelled in English. She was quickly discovered to be talented. With her athleticism and what one reviewer called her “spitfire quickness,” DePrince became an international star in Amsterdam. There she took the lead in such ballets as Swan Lake and Coppélia, dancing with “undeniable grace, strength, and precision”. She had to take a break in 2017 after an accident, which gave her time “to seek treatment for years of nightmares (噩梦)” about her wartime childhood. She joined the Boston Ballet in 2021 but left in the same year for undisclosed reasons. “Dance with your heart,” she once told young ballerinas. “Don’t let the negative aspects of life cause you to lose what made you want to achieve in the first place.” 1.Why is a magazine mentioned in Paragraph 1?

Gifted and resolved. C. Promising and curious. D. Talented and delighted. Passage 2 （25-26高一上·广东汕头金山中学·期中）At 12, my father decided to take me on a trip to France. I had never been out of the country before, so I was very excited. My aunt, my father and I went around with my father showing us all the unbelievable sites in Paris. None of us spoke much French but we loved the city. We had taken the subway all over the city and were congratulating ourselves on our mastering what is honestly an excellent subway design that is pretty easy to follow. We decided to visit Versailles by train. We chatted happily along the way until my father realized we were far into the French countryside and no one around spoke English. We reached the end of the line and felt afraid when everyone finally left the train. An old man and his grandchild noticed us and came to help. He spoke no English, so in broken French we tried to explain. When he finally understood, this great man settled his grandson and showed us to the correct train and then boarded with us. Later we knew the truth that there was a train transfer (转乘) and he didn’t want us to miss it. This kind man rode a train for an hour and a half out of his way to make sure that three Americans got where they wanted to be. He refused to let us pay for his ticket. He did it all with a gentle smile and patted our hands gently at the stop. Then in his quiet way, he boarded the train to return the way he had come. What impressed me most was the man and his kindness during the amazing trip. Some Americans think the French are rude for some reason, but I always try to persuade them to change their minds with this very story. 1.What happened to the author and his family on the train? A. They couldn’t understand the signs of the train. B. They failed to get off the train at the right time. C. They had different opinions about where to go first. D. They found it hard to communicate with the French. 2.How did the man help the author and his family? A. He paid for their train tickets. B. He showed them the returning way. C. He invited them to travel together. D. He led them to their place. 3.Which of the following can best describe the last paragraph? A. Seeing is believing. B. Being kind is a good manner. C. Travelling enriches one’s life. D. Helping others brings great pleasure. 4.What’s the purpose of the author’s writing the text? A. To explain an unexpected problem. B. To list the unbelievable sites in Paris. C. To share an unforgettable foreign experience. D. To show the importance of mastering a foreign language. 主题语境03 人与自我-生活与学习 Passage 1 （25-26高一上·广东多校联考·期中）Last summer, I went to France for a holiday. I was so excited but also a little nervous because my French was not good. One hot afternoon, after exploring the city, I felt really tired. I wanted to tell my French friend, Claire, “I am a little tired.” I carefully said the words I’d learned: “Je suis un pue fatigue.” But Claire burst out laughing. My face felt hot. What had I done wrong? Claire explained, “In French, there are words that sound similar but have very different meanings; ‘peu’ means ‘a little,’ but if you pronounce it differently, it can sound like ‘pue’, which means ‘stinks’ — like something smells bad. So, instead of saying you needed a rest, it sounded like you were saying you smelled bad and were tired”. This awkward (尴尬的) moment was a real eye-opener for me. It made me realize just how daunting pronunciation can be in a foreign language. Even small differences in pronunciation can completely change the meaning of what you’re trying to say. The same is true in English, for example, “ship” (a large boat) and “sheep” (a woolly animal) sound very similar, but they mean totally different things. Now, I pay extra attention to how words sound and what they mean. And if I mix them up again? I’ll just laugh along. After all, laughing is part of learning - even if it’s a bit stinky sometimes. 1.Why was the author nervous about his holiday in France? A. He was poor at French. B. He never went abroad. C. He had no friends there. D. He was in short of money. 2.What awkward moment did the author meet? A. He met a wrong person. B. He made a pronunciation mistake. C. He was tricked by the locals. D. He spelt a word incorrectly. 3.What lesson did the author learn from his embarrassing experience? A. It is better to stay silent than to risk making mistakes. B. Mastering grammar is more important than pronunciation. C. A tiny error in speech can lead to a major misunderstanding. D. French is the most difficult language for foreigners to learn. 4.How did the author’s experience in France affect him? A. He smelled bad and was tired. B. He hated learning foreign languages. C. He no longer considered Claire as a friend. D. He became open to mistakes in language learning. Passage 2 （25-26高一上·广东深圳高级中学·期中）Math had never been something I was good at since middle school. Classes became harder in high school, and I was even further from a math teacher’s dream student. So, at the start of my freshman year, I carried a quiet resentment toward math. It wasn’t that I didn’t want to do well, but simply that I didn’t think I was able to do well. “I can’t” became my state of mind in all things related to math. However, I was soon to learn that “I can’t” was not a choice in Ms. Zhou’s class. Ms. Zhou always greeted us with open arms as she said, “Welcome! Smile! It’s a great day to be alive!” It was clear that Ms. Zhou had a true passion not only for math but for teaching. If Ms. Zhou ever experienced bad days in life, she never showed it. She greeted us with that same smile every day. She encouraged each student, from the top achiever to the “I can’t” student. I found myself looking forward to math class, although I still hated the subject itself. Being in Ms. Zhou’s presence made me feel good, as if I had the chance to succeed. As the year progressed I spent increasingly more time on my homework, and I met with Ms. Zhou weekly. My classmates began to do the same, and it became “cool” to have lunch and talk with Ms. Zhou. We didn’t know it at the time, but she was changing our attitudes. Though my story is not one of overnight successes and I didn’t become a straight-A math student, my hard work did begin to pay off, and my grades slowly began to climb. There were hard times, of course. Difficult math questions sometimes succeeded in bringing me down, but Ms. Zhou kept reminding me, “Silver, smile! It’s a great day to be alive!” 1.What does the underlined word “resentment” in paragraph 1 most likely mean? A. Curiosity B. Responsibility C. Dislike D. Misunderstanding 2.What first made the author look forward to math class? A. Her interest in math B. Ms. Zhou’s attitude C. Her friends’ encouragement D. The top achievers in her class 3.How did the author feel about her talk over lunch with Ms. Zhou? A. It was boring B. It was awkward C. It was challenging D. It was impressive 4.How did the author change in math? A. She fell in love with math totally B. She made slow but steady progress C. She became a top math student finally D. She was comfortable with math questions Passage 3 （25-26高一上·广东广州西关外国语学校·期中）I am a multi-sport athlete and seasoned coach. When I was growing up, school wasn’t really my thing, but sport very much was. Athletics connected me to my school community by giving me a sense of belonging and success even when I struggled in the classroom. When I entered education, I knew I wanted to be more than a coach on the field and court — I wanted to help students like me make meaningful connections to school through sports. I designed a program around the concepts of comfort and stretch zones. On day one, I set up a range of equipment for different sports across a field. In groups, students discussed sports that they felt comfortable and safe playing. They then took turns selecting their comfort sport on the field, doing a brief share, and playing with their group. Afterward, we had a class discussion on the importance of doing things that bring joy and passion, and how sharing that passion with others motivates us and the people around us. On day two, with the same field design and sporting equipment, I introduced the idea of stretch zones. Students formed the same groups as on day one and discussed which sports were out of their comfort zone and more challenging to them. Some of my students were shy and others slightly frustrated (沮丧) as they struggled to perform the skills in sports in which they were not comfortable. Then we discussed, as a class, how even when something is challenging, if we recognize the difficulty and intentionally practice, we give ourselves the opportunity to overcome it over time. The program required more than just adjusting my curriculum (课程) — it also meant some changes to the way I taught. I found myself opening up to my students and sharing my own hardships and successes with them. As a result, my students felt freer to be their real selves. 1.What did the author think of sport when he was a student? A. It helped him get attached to school. B. It led to a decline in his grades. C. It made him struggle in the classroom. D. It appealed mainly to seniors. 2.Why did the author design the program? A. To change curricula and teaching methods. B. To prepare students for unexpected challenges. C. To deepen students’ connections with school. D. To share hardship and success with students. 3.What was a problem facing the author on the second day of the program? A. Students wanted material rewards. B. It was difficult to group students. C. Some students feared challenges. D. The sports field became crowded. 4.What can we infer about the author? A. He is involved in one sport. B. He used to be very shy. C. He is in favor of safe sports. D. He is a creative teacher. 主题语境04 人与自然-宇宙探索 （25-26高一上·广东执信中学·期中）Raised in Jacksonville, a small town in North Carolina, Christina Koch always knew she wanted to be an astronaut. This dream began as early as kindergarten, during a time when spaceflight was dominated by men. “Fortunately, when I told my kindergarten teachers that I wanted to be an astronaut they supported me. No one told me that it was unattainable. And whether it was my own hard-headedness or that encouragement, I did go full forward into pursuing my dream to become an astronaut,” she says. Koch found inspiration in pioneers like Sally Ride and Mae Jemison, but also in everyday heroes — from civil rights activists to her independent grandmother. These examples, along with her family’s emphasis on hard work, instilled in her the courage to chase her dreams. Koch studied physics and electrical engineering before joining NASA at the Goddard Space Flight Center, where she contributed to the development of scientific instruments on several space missions. Driven by a thirst for adventure, she spent a year in Antarctica’s tough environment and then in other remote locations like Greenland. Unsurprisingly, she cited photography, travel, camping and climbing among her hobbies. The ultimate fulfillment (实现) of her dream came in 2013, when she was selected as an astronaut, joining a groundbreaking class with an equal number of men and women. Previously, women comprised only 17% of NASA’s astronauts. After completing training in 2015, she was assigned her first long-stay mission on the International Space Station (ISS). Her success is undeniable. As part of the Artemis II mission, scheduled for 2025, she’ll travel further than any human since Apollo, an evidence of her constant ambition. Koch advocates following passions and embracing challenges. “Do what scares you,” she advises, “because those things often lead to the greatest fulfillment and contributions.”Besides, Koch also says that there’s one that should never be forgotten: “Support the people around you. Make sure that you’re thinking about the success of those around you, that you’re helping them, and together we all will achieve as much as we possibly can.” 1.What initially motivated Koch to become an astronaut? A. Her desire to push herself to the limit. B. Her early enthusiasm in space exploration. C. Her wish to reward her kindergarten teachers. D. Her ambition to change the position of women astronauts. 2.What can we infer from the passage? A. Koch invented some scientific devices. B. Koch set a record for the longest spaceflight. C. Various hobbies prepared Koch for adventure. D. Role models impacted Koch greatly in her life journey. 3.What does Koch’s advice indicate? A. Seeking support is crucial for dream chasers. B. Being kind to others is the stepstone to success. C. Welcoming challenges leads to personal growth. D. Working tirelessly is key to overcoming barriers. 4.What is the best title of the passage? A. Christina Koch: An Explorer of Nature B. Christina Koch: A Dream Pursuer to Space C. Christina Koch: A Role Model from Jacksonville D. Christina Koch: A Distinguished Female Scientist 主题语境01 人与社会-历史、社会与文化 （25-26高一上·广东惠州第一中学-11月·期中）Are you able to cook a healthy meal? Are you able to manage your money well? Can you sew a button onto clothes? Not many of us can confidently nod our heads to these questions. Nowadays, schools focus a lot on tough tests and making academic (学业的) requirements higher. Because of this, classes on practical skills are sometimes left out of our busy school schedule. Even when schools do teach these skills, they’re often ignored or not seen as important. I believe, however, that schools should teach practical skills as part of a well-rounded education to help us survive in the real world after we graduate. Schools have done well in preparing us to be successful students in our studies, but may not have prepared us well enough in developing life skills. Yet practical skills such as cooking, housekeeping and first-aid are important for us to manage in the real world. For example, to those who did not have such basic skills, the Covid-19 lockdown was a big shock, as they suddenly found themselves in a difficult situation where restaurants had to close and other important home services also stopped working. For those who experienced lockdowns, being able to cook meals or fix a light bulb themselves would have been satisfying. Yet, it’s a pity that schools continue to produce more scholarly individuals who are unfortunately unable to perform simple home-based tasks. When schools teach practical skills, they are sending an important signal that academic performance alone does not lead to successful growth. Skills such as financial (财政的) management help us become more responsible individuals. Equipped with the financial knowledge that experts provide in schools, we can better discuss our financial and budgeting goals with our parents. Furthermore, enough knowledge on budgeting and saving can keep us away from overspending and help us navigate the world of money more cautiously. The world we live in today is far more complex and schools need to teach beyond academic subjects. Sandra Carey, a writer, puts it: “Never mistake knowledge for wisdom. One helps you make a living; the other helps you make a life.” School is not simply a place to pass on knowledge and prepare us for a career. By offering us practical skills, it also passes on wisdom that can help us build happy, healthy and fulfilled lives. 1.Why does the author mention the three questions in the first paragraph? A. To make the article funny and attractive. B. To show the difficulty in learning these skills. C. To show these practical skills are in great need. D. To prove academic knowledge is more important. 2.How does the writer develop the second paragraph? A. By using quotes. B. By giving examples. C. By explaining reasons. D. By making comparisons. 3.What is the benefit of school’s teaching financial management skills? A. It gives students an advantage in the job market. B. It causes students to be more likely to overspend. C. It makes students better talk about financial plans. D. It helps students become more financially independent. 4.Which of the following would Sandra Carey most likely agree with? A. Knowledge is power. B. All that glitters is not gold. C. A little learning is a dangerous thing. D. Knowledge for life, wisdom for soul. 主题语境02 人与社会-科学与技术 Passage 1 （25-26高一上·广东多校联考·期中）From childhood to adulthood, you go through a lot of changes — jobs, regrettable haircuts and relationships that come and go. But what about who you are? As you grow older, does your personality change? Personality is the pattern of thoughts, feelings and behaviors unique to a person. People always think of personality as fixed. But according to psychologists, that’s not how it works. “Personality is developing. It’s not just something that you’re stuck with and can’t get over,” said Brent Roberts, a psychologist at the University of Illinois. That’s not to say that you’re a different person each day you wake up. In the short term, change can be nearly impossible to see, Roberts told Live Science. Longitudinal studies, in which researchers survey the personalities of participants regularly over many years, suggest that our personality is actually stable in the short term. But those years add up, throughout which our personality is still changing, but slowly, Roberts said. “It’s something that’s unnoticeable,” he added. You don’t feel it on that five-to-10-year time period, but in the long term, it becomes obvious. In 1960, psychologists surveyed over 440,000 high school students — around 5% of all students in the country at that time. The students answered questions about everything from how they behaved in emotional situations to how well and effectively they got work done. Fifty years later, researchers tracked down 1,952 of these former students and gave them the same survey. The results found that in their 60s, participants scored much higher than they had as teenagers. Some people might change less than others, but in general, the maturity (成熟) principle goes for everyone. That makes personality change even harder to realize in ourselves — how your personality compares with that of your peers doesn’t change as much as our overall change in personality, because everyone else is changing right along with you. “It has been proved that the self-control of a 30-year-old is higher than a 20-year-old,” Donnellan said. “At the same time, people who are more self-controlled at 18 are also possibly more self-controlled at age 30.” 1.What does the writer think of personality? A. It changes obviously from day to day. B. It is fixed since you were born. C. It works when we meet difficulties. D. It is what makes you different from others. 2.What does the underlined word “stable” in paragraph 3 mean? A. not easily upset. B. not likely to change. C. easy to change. D. difficult to destroy. 3.How does the writer support his idea? A. By providing research results. B. By stating arguments. C. By explaining causes. D. By giving examples. 4.Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text? A. Everyone Has a Unique Personality. B. We Grow Older but Change Less. C. Self-control Makes All the Difference. D. Our Personality Changes as We Get Older. Passage 2 （25-26高一上·广东汕头金山中学·期中）Anyone who has taken a standardized test knows that writing an essay in 20 minutes or less takes serious brain power. Having access to artificial intelligence (AI) would certainly lighten the mental load. But as a recent study by researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) suggests, that help may come at a cost. Over the course of a series of essay-writing sessions, students working with as well as without an AI chatbot had their brain activity measured. Across the board, the AI users exhibited markedly lower brain activity in areas associated with creative functions and attention. Whether AI will leave people’s brains weak in the long term remains an open question. Researchers behind this study have stressed that further work is needed to establish a definitive causal link between elevated AI use and weakened brains. After all, the study had a tiny sample size and focused on a single narrow task. Moreover, generative-AI tools clearly seek to lighten people’s mental loads, as many other technologies do. Concerns about this kind of offloading aren’t new. As long ago as the 5th century BC, Socrates was quoted as complaining that writing is not “a potion(神药) for remembering, but for reminding”. Calculators spare cashiers from computing a bill. Navigation apps remove the need for map-reading. And yet few would argue that people are less capable as a result. There is little evidence to suggest that letting machines handle users’ mental tasks alters the brain’s capacity for thinking. But the worry is that generative AI allows one to offload a thought process. And once the brain has developed a taste for offloading, it can be a hard habit to kick. As one user put it, “I rely so much on AI that I don’t think I’d know how to solve certain problems without it.” The technology is so young that, for many tasks, the human brain is still the sharpest tool in the toolkit. But in time both the consumers of AI and its regulators will have to assess whether its wider benefits outweigh any cognitive (认知) costs. If stronger evidence emerges that AI makes people less intelligent, will they care? 1.What does paragraph 3 emphasize about the MIT study? A. The procedures it followed. B. The limitations in its design. C. The conclusion it has drawn. D. The diversity among its participants. 2.According to Socrates, what negative consequence could writing have? A. People would avoid using reminders. B. People would stop thinking independently. C. People would rely less on their own memory. D. People would care less about the spoken word. 3.What point does the user’s remark in paragraph 5 illustrate? A. AI can change users’ mental capacity. B. AI is not widely available to the public. C. AI can encourage users’ mental laziness. D. AI is not capable of solving every problem. 4.What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Will AI Make You Stupid? B. How AI Lets You Offload Tasks C. Why AI Affects Your Thinking Abilities D. Is AI a Mental Shortcut You Can Easily Quit? Passage 3 （25-26高一上·广东多校联考·期中）Expecting the worst to avoid feeling bad later is known as “bracing”. It may help them prepare for emotionally challenging situations, particularly in the moments before these situations occur. People brace for the worst while awaiting potentially negative outcomes. Someone might also brace for the worst in anticipation of stressful events like giving a presentation at work. Some psychological theories suggest that bracing should help. For example, “decision affect theory” proposes that how we feel about a situation is determined partly by comparing what actually happened with what could have happened. Based on this, people should be happy when an event goes beyond their expectations, and disappointed when an event falls behind. Therefore, by anticipating the worst, one can safeguard themselves against future disappointment, as any result is likely to surpass their expectations. Other psychological theories, nevertheless, undermine the idea that bracing will be helpful. It has been theorized and scientifically established that expectations can powerfully influence reality. There are two key ways that expectations can shape reality. First, people may behave in ways that fit with their expectations. If you expect to fail an upcoming test or interview, then you might not invest efforts in preparation, which in turn reduces your chances of doing well. Second, people may interpret a situation in line with their expectations. Imagine you believe you are insufficiently qualified for a job you’ve applied for. During the job interview, you’re likely to interpret blank expressions from the interviewer in line with this belief, which could negatively affect your performance. In fact, the interviewer did not want to give anything away. Drawing together the scientific studies, it seems that expecting the worst is anything but a wise way to prepare for upcoming news or results. It might be more sensible to hold positive expectations than to brace for the worst. 1.What is the second paragraph mainly about? A. The logic of preparing for the worst. B. The theory of comparing past and future. C. The conflict between people’s expectation and reality. D. The emotions hidden behind anticipating the worst. 2.What does the underlined word “undermine” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Strengthen. B. Propose. C. Weaken. D. Justify. 3.How can negative expectations probably affect people’s performance in reality? A. By reducing people’s chances of doing well. B. By stimulating people’s ambition and motivation. C. By giving weight to people’s potential of excellence. D. By causing less preparation and some misinterpretations. 4.Which would the author most likely agree with regarding “bracing for the worst”? A. It fully guarantees people a positive emotional experience. B. It may bring more drawbacks than benefits in practice. C. It is a universal solution for handling difficult situations. D. It has no impact on how people view real-life events. 主题语境03 人与自然-自然生态 （25-26高一上·广东茂名第一中学-10月·期中）It’s often said that people who are born blind or lose their sight, especially when young, can touch, taste, smell, and hear better than those who can see. Donna Posont, who is blind, helps others use their enhanced hearing (增强的听力) to detect (探测) thousands of bird songs. Posont is a graduate of the University of Michigan-Dearborn. She leads a monthly program she founded at the college. It’s called Birding by Ear and Beyond. It’s held on Saturday each month. During the program, Posont leads visually-impaired (视力受损的) people through 120 acres (英亩) of campus forest. They listen for the sounds of many birds. These include crows, geese, chickadees, woodpeckers, robins, and red-winged blackbirds. Participants learn to tell the sometimes subtle differences between bird species (物种). They also learn how each bird fits into their habitat (栖息地). “The world is designed for sighted people (视力正常的人), but nature is a special place where it’s okay to be blind,” Posont told The Washington Post. “You can use your other senses to learn why birds and nature are important and how it all works (as one). To me, that’s the beauty of it.” Through her program, Posont not only helps visually impaired individuals connect with nature but also inspires them to challenge their perceptions (认知) and embrace the world through a different point. The ability to identify birds by ear becomes a gateway (门户) to understanding the relationships within ecosystems (生态系统) and the value of nature. 1.What does Posont’s program focus on? A. Helping blind people identify birds by sound. B. Leading blind people to protect campus forest. C. Training blind people to be nature guides. D. Providing blind people a safe outdoor space. 2.Why does Posont think nature is a special place for blind people? A. Nature helps people learn about birds’ habitat. B. Nature benefits blind people’s physical health. C. Blind people can study the behavior of wildlife. D. Blind people can experience nature with other senses. 3.What can you infer from the last paragraph? A. The challenge of Posont’s program. B. The process of Posont’s program. C. The importance of Posont’s program. D. The development of Posont’s program. 4.Which would be the best title for the text? A. Natural Sound: A Journey to the Unknown B.

But she couldn’t see a thing. Born almost completely blind, Eline is among a growing number of outdoor-adventure athletes who refused to let disabilities reduce them to onlookers. She had a strong desire to take part in outdoor activities when she was very young. Unfortunately, her early efforts to fit in with the other kids didn’t go well. While she experienced countless failures, she faced up to them. When it comes to her final success in outdoor sports, it is all credited to her doctor who is expert in instructing blind runners. Impressed by Eline’s love for adventure, the doctor recommended her to join a half-marathon. Eline had never run more than 4 or 5 miles at that point. She worried about making a fool of herself or wasting her doctor’s time. “Don’t worry,” he assured her. “If we have to walk the last few miles, it’s no big deal.” Eline ran every step of that race and won her division. It was her first taste of athletic success and a turning point. Since then, she has traveled the globe, blowing away most of her visually impaired (视觉障碍的) competition in 47 marathons, from New York to Athens to Barcelona. In 2015, she won her division in the Boston Marathon, one of the most celebrated and competitive races in the world. Marathons had become sort of Eline’s routine, but climbing a 14,000-foot mountain was so wildly out of her comfort zone that it brought back the butterflies she felt in her stomach before that first half-marathon more than a decade ago. Now, she made it. The change was just as meaningful. “Life can be scary, but fear doesn’t help,” she said. “Being blind creates hardships other athletes don’t face, but it also brings out extraordinary grace and generosity (大方).” 1.What can we learn about Eline from the first two paragraphs? A. She got along well with others. B. She had a strong determination. C. Her dream gave in to disabilities. D. Her blindness resulted from climbing. 2.What has contributed to Eline’s success according to paragraph 3? A. Her tireless efforts. B. Her love for adventure. C. Her families’ support and company. D. Her doctor’s guidance and encouragement. 3.Why does the author mention Boston Marathon in paragraph 4? A. To popularize a famous event. B. To promote Eline’s sportsmanship. C. To show Eline’s achievements. D. To praise visually impaired athletes. 4.Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Blind Courage B. Narrow Success C. A Challenging Climb D. An Eventful Adventure 【答案】1. B　2. D　3. C　4.

But she couldn’t see a thing.(当艾琳到达加州东部内华达山脉14000英尺高的兰利山的山顶时，她可以感受到脚下柔软的沙子，听到这座美丽的山笼罩着的寂静。但她什么也看不见)”以及第二段“While she experienced countless failures, she faced up to them. (虽然她经历了无数的失败，但她勇敢地面对)”可知，Eline有坚强的决心。故选B。 (2)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第三段“When it comes to her final success in outdoor sports, it is all credited to her doctor who is expert in instructing blind runners. Impressed by Eline’s love for adventure, the doctor recommended her to join a half-marathon. Eline had never run more than 4 or 5 miles at that point. She worried about making a fool of herself or wasting her doctor’s time. “Don’t worry,” he assured her. “If we have to walk the last few miles, it’s no big deal.”(当谈到她在户外运动中的最后成功时，这一切都归功于她的医生，他是指导盲人跑步的专家。埃琳对冒险的热爱给医生留下了深刻的印象，医生建议她参加半程马拉松。那时，埃琳从来没有跑过超过4到5英里的距离。她担心自己出丑或浪费医生的时间。“别担心，”他向她保证。“如果我们必须走最后几英里，那也没什么大不了的。”)”可知，医生的指导和鼓励促成了Eline的成功。故选D。 (3)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第四段“In 2015, she won her division in the Boston Marathon, one of the most celebrated and competitive races in the world.(2015年，她赢得了波士顿马拉松赛的冠军，这是世界上最著名、最具竞争力的比赛之一)”可推知，作者在第4段提到波士顿马拉松是为了展示Eline的成就。故选C。 (4)题解析： 主旨大意题。根据第二段“Born almost completely blind, Eline is among a growing number of outdoor-adventure athletes who refused to let disabilities reduce them to onlookers. She had a strong desire to take part in outdoor activities when she was very young. Unfortunately, her early efforts to fit in with the other kids didn’t go well. While she experienced countless failures, she faced up to them.(出生时几乎完全失明的埃琳是越来越多的户外冒险运动员中的一员，他们拒绝让残疾把他们变成旁观者。她很小的时候就有参加户外活动的强烈愿望。不幸的是，她早期努力融入其他孩子的过程并不顺利。虽然她经历了无数的失败，但她勇敢地面对)”结合文章主要讲述了盲人Eline虽然眼睛看不见，但是在医生的鼓励和指导下，Eline一次次挑战自己，取得了非凡的成就。可知，A选项“盲目的勇气”最符合文章标题。故选A。 主题语境02 人与社会-文学、艺术与体育 （25-26高一上·广东惠州第八中学-12月·期中）Olympic athletes pour everything into training for the Games, routinely pushing their physical and mental bounds to the limit — and beyond — for a shot at a gold medal. Yet they are often accompanied by an emotional comedown. Emotions are heightened by the nature of the event itself. The Olympics is a massive cultural event — a combination of global public attention, financial investment and media coverage New international celebrities are created, and some competitors’ reputations are ruined during various accusations. Athletes are under the pressure of representing their country and winning medals in front of worldwide audience. “But then all of that publicity and intensity around being an Olympian falls off very quickly,” says Cogan, a lead sport psychologist. It’s more about making a map of how to get to a destination. Once you get there, it’s like, “Now what?” A 2023 paper explained the identity crises athletes face as a result of overfocus on performance,leaving their non-sporting personalities underdeveloped. In a 2018 paper, Howells wrote that athletes with a greater “myopic” (短视的) focus are more at risk of the “blues”. “It is common for top competitors to have this very high-athletic identity,” says Howells. “They’ve sacrificed (牺牲) every other aspect of their identity for the purpose of being an Olympian. They seem unable to realize that their actions might have negative consequences in the future.” Efforts to minimize this mindset have helped some athletes to open up more about their mental health. Experts advise Olympians to start conversations about mental health support well before the Games begin. Olympians should also discuss mental health monitoring strategies before, during and after the Games. Athletes and experts say the sporting industry has, in the last decade, been promoting better work-life balance outside of the game. Brana, a soccer goalkeeper, says that her team and coaches actively encourage spending quantity time with families and significant others, as well as finding hobbies that feel joyful and rewarding. 1.What is the main cause for Olympic athletes’ mental breakdown? A. A sense of loss. B. The media coverage. C. The pressure of competition. D. The audience’s attention. 2.What can be inferred from the third paragraph about athletes with a “myopic” focus? A. They plan their life after retirement well. B. They seldom win medals in competitions. C. They balance success and failure better. D. They overlook other sides of themselves. 3.What might be a fundamental solution to the athletes’ identity crisis? A. Having higher athletic identity. B. Discussing their problems publicly. C. Developing a sense of identity outside the sport. D. Making greater achievements in sporting industry. 4.Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Olympic Athletes Suffering from Stress. B. From Hero to Zero: the Post-Olympic Blues. C. Athletes Adapting to Post-Olympic Period. D. From Bad to Worse: Athletes’ mental Well-being. 【答案】1. A　2. D　3. C　4. B 【解析】【导语】 这是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了奥运选手在赛前倾尽全力，赛后因关注度消退、身份认同危机而陷入情绪低谷的现象。 (1)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第二段““But then all of that publicity and intensity around being an Olympian falls off very quickly,” says Cogan, a lead sport psychologist. It’s more about making a map of how to get to a destination. Once you get there, it’s like, “Now what?”(首席运动心理学家科根表示：“但随之而来的是，围绕奥运选手身份的所有关注度和紧张感都会迅速消退。这更像是绘制一张通往目的地的路线图。可一旦抵达目的地，你就会陷入迷茫：“接下来该何去何从？”)”可知，奥运选手精神崩溃的主要原因是一种失落感。故选A。 (2)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第三段“It is common for top competitors to have this very high-athletic identity. They’ve sacrificed every other aspect of their identity for the purpose of being an Olympian. They seem unable to realize that their actions might have negative consequences in the future.(顶尖选手普遍具有这种极强的“运动员身份认同”。为了成为奥运选手，他们牺牲了自我身份中的其他所有方面。他们似乎未能意识到，自己的这些行为可能会在未来引发负面后果。)”可知，具有“短视”的运动员为了成为奥运选手而牺牲了自己身份的其他方面，即他们忽视了自己其他方面的特点。故选D。 (3)题解析： 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Brana, a soccer goalkeeper, says that her team and coaches actively encourage spending quantity time with families and significant others, as well as finding hobbies that feel joyful and rewarding.(足球守门员布拉纳表示，她所在的球队和教练会积极鼓励队员们多花时间陪伴家人与伴侣，同时培养一些能带来愉悦感和成就感的兴趣爱好。)”可知，在运动之外培养一种身份认同感可能是解决运动员身份危机的根本办法。故选C。 (4)题解析： 主旨大意题。文章主要讨论了奥运选手在赛前倾尽全力，赛后因关注度消退、身份认同危机而陷入情绪低谷的现象。B 选项“从英雄到平庸：奥运后情绪低谷”准确概括了奥运选手赛前（英雄般的关注度）和赛后（情绪低落、关注度骤降）的核心变化，是最好的标题。故选B。 主题语境03 人与自我-生活与学习 Passage 1 （25-26高一上·广东惠州第一中学-11月·期中）My grandmother knew what every Italian-American grandmother knows: that food brings us together, and that one of the best ways to show people you love them is to feed them. It’s no surprise, then, that so many of our family traditions centered around food. We’d gather in the kitchen for every birthday and holiday, filling up on antipasto (开胃菜) before piling our plates high with the main course. My grandparents always hosted Christmas dinner, and it was always more than enough, but right before we sat down to eat, she’d pull me aside to show me the dish she made just for me: fresh pasta with tomato sauce, my absolute favorite food in the world. It was a simple dish, but to me it was everything. It was the feeling of comfort in a bowl, warm food that filled me with joy. But more than that, it was a gesture that made me feel like I belonged. I was a shy kid, still trying to understand who I was, and in many situations I felt invisible. I’d wonder whether anyone saw me, or if I mattered at all. And here was my grandmother, showing me that she cared for me, and that I was worth making something special for. Years went by; I moved away and got married, but food was always one of the ways my grandmother showed her love. I’d visit throughout the years and she’d serve up a plate of pasta, some leftover dessert she had and a few pieces of fruit she pulled from the fridge. When my daughter was born in 2020, for the first time in my life I wasn’t about to make the trip back home for Christmas. Trying to make the most of things, I cooked my family’s traditional foods including, of course, fresh pasta. I facetimed my parents and they handed the phone to my grandmother, and I showed her the pasta. I didn’t know it then, but it was the last time I’d ever speak with her. Shortly after the holidays she passed away unexpectedly. It all seemed not fair that my grandmother passed away so soon after I became a parent. I’d hold my daughter and think about how she’d never get to experience my grandmother’s love, her sense of humor or her cooking. I’d wonder how I could make her feel the same sense of belonging and love that I felt through my grandmother’s pasta. 1.What does food mean in the author’s family according to the first two paragraphs? A. A bond that unites family members. B. A tradition only for birthdays and holidays. C. A symbol of happiness among family members. D. A way to satisfy hunger during family gatherings. 2.What made the author feel unique about the pasta? A. The pasta was a rare dish that was difficult to make. B. The pasta showed grandmother’s love and attention. C. The author was the only one who was offered the pasta. D. The pasta showed the author was important among her peers. 3.Why did the author feel unfair about her grandmother’s passing? A. Because she couldn’t cook her grandmother traditional foods. B. Because she had no chance to say goodbye to her grandmother. C. Because her grandmother didn’t get to see her daughter grow up. D. Because her daughter would miss out her grandmother’s warmth. 4.Which of the following can best describe the author’s grandmother? A. Helpful and generous B. Considerate and caring C. Careful and courageous D. Humorous and responsible 【答案】1. A　2. B　3. D　4. B 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者家族中食物所承载的情感意义，特别是祖母通过食物表达对作者的爱。 (1)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“that food brings us together, and that one of the best ways to show people you love them is to feed them.(食物让我们聚在一起，向人们表达你爱他们的最好方式之一就是给他们食物。)”以及第二段中的“It’s no surprise, then, that so many of our family traditions centered around food.(因此，我们家族的许多传统都围绕着食物，这并不奇怪。)”可知，在作者的家庭中，食物是团结家庭成员的纽带。故选A项。 (2)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“It was a simple dish, but to me it was everything.

I felt like I was on top of the world. I was able to even use my “gifted” title to get accepted into a famous private high school, something I’d never expected. Then high school began. All of a sudden, I was no longer at the top of my class. Teachers didn’t look to me for the correct answer. My papers were filled with corrections, not praise. To put it simply, all the straight-As on my report card were quickly disappearing. My parents’ concern grew — they began to search for tutors and would constantly ask me as if they were trying to find out what was wrong with me. My concern grew too — the pressure to live up to their expectations only became greater and I found myself constantly anxious, and worrying about school. Last week, watching Simone Biles pull out of the Olympics reminded me of this feeling. Simone Biles: the GOAT (Greatest of All Time). If there was any one person we knew we could depend on to win gold in her event, it was Simone. But that kind of pressure is unbearable. Imagine having to practically carry the Olympics on your back because all of the United States feels as though they can rely on you. However, unlike me and my freshman-year identity crisis, Simone recognized the pressure she was under. She had the bravery and self-reflective skills to be able to realize that the pressure of perfection was too much for her to handle. Simone Biles has taught me a very important lesson: to be the greatest person of all time, mental health must come first. Instead of getting down on myself for not performing the way I wanted to, I need to take a note from Simone and be kind to myself, taking a break and asking for help when necessary. Taking care of yourself and your mental health is nothing to be ashamed of. After all, if GOAT can do it, so can we! 1.How might the author find her middle school life? A. Challenging. B. Peaceful. C. Meaningless. D. Satisfying. 2.What may be a reason for the author’s anxiety? A. Disappointing her parents. B. Caring about her appearance. C. Failing to be admitted to college. D. Being unable to complete her papers. 3.What might Simone Biles be? A. A professional athlete. B. An Olympic official. C. An event organizer. D. A medal presenter. 4.What did the author learn from Biles? A. Deal with pressure on our own. B. Taking care of ourselves matters. C. Never seek help whatever happens. D. Winning comes first in all the fields. 【答案】1. D　2. A　3. A　4. B 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者从中学的“天才”学生到高中面临的挑战，以及从Simone Biles退赛中得到的心理健康的启示。 (1)题解析： 推理判断题。由文章第一段中“In middle school, I was one of the “gifted” kids. I felt like I was on top of the world.

My concern grew too — the pressure to live up to their expectations only became greater and I found myself constantly anxious, and worrying about school. (我的父母越来越担心——他们开始寻找家庭教师，并不断地问我，好像他们想找出我哪里出了问题。我的担忧也在增加——达到他们期望的压力只会越来越大，我发现自己总是焦虑，担心学业。)”可知，作者焦虑的原因可能是怕让父母失望。故选A。 (3)题解析： 推理判断题。由文章第四段中“Last week, watching Simone Biles pull out of the Olympics reminded me of this feeling.

Instead of getting down on myself for not performing the way I wanted to, I need to take a note from Simone and be kind to myself, taking a break and asking for help when necessary. Taking care of yourself and your mental health is nothing to be ashamed of. (Simone Biles给我上了非常重要的一课：要成为有史以来最伟大的人，心理健康必须放在第一位。我需要从Simone那里吸取教训，对自己好一点，休息一下，必要的时候寻求帮助，而不是因为没有按照自己想要的方式表现而沮丧。照顾好自己和自己的心理健康没什么好羞耻的。)”可知，作者从Biles身上学到的是照顾好自己很重要。故选B。 Passage 3 （25-26高一上·广东多校联考·期中）Snowboarding genius Su Yiming made a name for himself by winning China’s first Olympic gold in the men’s snowboard big air final at the Beijing Winter Olympics.

When he was young, Kadur was fascinated by Jim Corbett’s tales of big cats. Inspired, he once cycled into the jungle with a friend to observe big cats at a watering hole. At night, they really saw a big cat. Bathed in moonlight, he realized his life’s goal: to capture and share nature’s wonders. At 12, he borrowed his father’s camera — a “magic box” that froze time. His father, an entomologist(昆虫学家), got him looking at the small things. So he began intentionally focusing his lens on small insects, trying to understand what he was looking at. He would develop the camera film weeks later, annotating(注释)the settings and reattempting the shots. As he grew older, his love for nature, however, conflicted with academics. Failing high school, he moved to Brownsville, Texas to study hotel management — a choice that unexpectedly refueled his love for storytelling. In Brownsville, Kadur explored Mexico’s cloud forests and landed a job as a jungle tour guide. There, he met filmmaker John Bax, who introduced him to documentary work. When they embarked on a documentary project together, Bax withdrew from it. Kadur, then 19 and untrained in film, pursued the project on his own. He spent three years filming India’s Western Ghats, capturing species like the “smoke cat” for the first time. His debut film, Sahyadris: Mountains of the Monsoon, brought the Western Ghats’ biodiversity into attention, aiding its 2012 UNESCO World Heritage status. Through visual storytelling, Kadur offers his audiences glimpses into a rarely-seen natural world, urging them to protect its delicate inhabitants. “Visual art has conveyed stories for millennia. Now we’re doing that with technology, and it will continue to advance.” said Kadur, “I think the impact of storytelling can last a lifetime. It can last generations.” 1.What led Kadur into nature? A. Fever for big cats. B. Love for adventure. C. Curiosity about filming. D. Fascination with Jim’s tales. 2.What was his father’s influence on him? A. Teaching him photography skills. B. Introducing him to documentary work. C. Helping him regain love for storytelling. D. Arousing his curiosity about scientific details. 3.What is Kadur’s opinion about visual storytelling? A. It well entertains audiences. B. It serves as a bridge for nature. C. Its value lies in expression skills. D. Its impact depends on technology. 4.Which of the following words can best describe Kadur? A. Passionate and dedicated. B. Talented and ambitious. C. Independent and committed. D. Responsible and generous. 【答案】1. D　2. D　3. B　4. A 【解析】【导语】 这是一篇记叙文。本文讲述了《国家地理》探险家Sandesh Kadur用25年时间记录珍稀野生动物，将童年的热爱转化为保护地球脆弱生态系统的使命的故事。 (1)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第二段“When he was young, Kadur was fascinated by Jim Corbett’s tales of big cats.

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

Therefore, they choose not to go to college. If you’re one of them, think again. Here are some reasons why you should go to college and receive a good education there. Schools and universities are the first places to get knowledge. We take that knowledge later on to build our careers after graduation. More knowledge will be gained after you start working, but without education, that job will not be within easy reach. Knowledge leads to knowledge. While limited within the walls of the educational places, we openly explore other cultures of the world! We come to know that ours is not the only culture. Other cultures have valuable things to share, enriching our own. Education also makes us want to travel and exchange with various cultures, getting more experience.

D　4. C 【解析】【导语】 这是一篇议论文。本文针对部分高中生认为高等教育无用、选择不上大学的现象，从知识积累、文化视野拓展、就业竞争力提升、社交圈拓展与个人素养提升四个方面，阐述了接受高等教育的重要性。 (1)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第一段“Some high school students think it useless to receive higher education. Therefore, they choose not to go to college. If you’re one of them, think again. Here are some reasons why you should go to college and receive a good education there.(一些高中生认为接受高等教育毫无用处。因此，他们选择不上大学。如果你也是其中一员，请再仔细考虑一下。以下是你应该上大学并在那里接受良好教育的一些理由。)”可知，第一段首先提出一些高中生认为接受高等教育毫无用处的观点，然后引出作者的观点“你应该上大学并在那里接受良好教育”，并指出下文将给出一些原因，由此可知，第一段的主要目的是介绍主题和目标读者。故选B。 (2)题解析： 词句猜测题。根据第二段“More knowledge will be gained after you start working, but without education, that job will not be within easy reach.(工作后你会获得更多知识，但如果没有教育，那份工作就不会______)”，结合上文“Schools and universities are the first places to get knowledge. We take that knowledge later on to build our careers after graduation. (各类学校和大学是获取知识的首要场所。我们毕业后会运用这些知识来开创自己的职业生涯。)可知，学校是获取知识的地方，知识助力毕业后的职业发展，可推断此处指 “没有教育，理想的工作就难以获得”。“within easy reach”在此处意为easy to achieve（容易实现/获得）。故选B。 (3)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第三段“While limited within the walls of the educational places, we openly explore other cultures of the world! We come to know that ours is not the only culture. Other cultures have valuable things to share, enriching our own. Education also makes us want to travel and exchange with various cultures, getting more experience.( 虽然我们身处校园的围墙之内，但我们可以自由地探索世界上的其他文化！我们会逐渐明白，自己的文化并非唯一的文化。其他文化有许多宝贵的东西可以分享，从而丰富我们自身的文化。教育还会让我们想要去旅行，与不同的文化进行交流，获取更多的经验。)”和第四段“When there’s a recession in the economy, those who attended college will be more possible to find a new job than those who only finished high school and have a limited skills set. The more education you have, the more chances you will get to improve the quality of your life as you have a better job and earn a higher salary.(当经济出现衰退时，那些上过大学的人比那些只读完高中、技能有限的人更有可能找到新工作。你接受的教育越多，就越有机会改善生活质量，因为你会拥有更好的工作，获得更高的薪水。)”可知，第三段阐述了高等教育能让学生“探索世界其他文化”“了解多元文化的价值”“激发旅行和文化交流的欲望”，这是文化方面的好处；第四段指出经济衰退时，上过大学的人比仅高中毕业的人更易找到新工作，且教育程度越高，越有机会改善生活质量，这是就业相关的好处。因此可推断，高等教育带来了文化和就业两方面的益处。故选D。 (4)题解析： 细节理解题。A选项“帮助建立有价值的社交网络”对应第五段“a good education leads to excellent networking. Good networking can benefit you a lot in your later life.(良好的教育能带来优质的人脉资源，而优质的人脉资源会在你日后的生活中为你带来诸多益处。)”；B选项“鼓励文化意识和交流”对应第三段“explore other cultures of the world(探索世界上的其他文化)”“Education also makes us want to travel and exchange with various cultures(教育还会促使我们渴望去旅行，并与不同的文化进行交流。)”；D选项“在就业市场上比受教育程度低的人有优势”对应第四段“those who attended college will be more possible to find a new job than those who only finished high school(接受过大学教育的人，比仅完成高中学业的人更有可能找到新工作。)”；C选项“毕业后保证较高的社会地位”在文中未提及，原文仅说教育能带来更好的工作、更高的薪水，未涉及“社会地位”及“保证”的表述。故选C。 Passage 3 （25-26高一上·广东深圳宝安区宝安中学·期中）When pop singer Chappell Roan spoke out against the invasive (侵入的) fan behavior she had been experiencing since her sudden rise to popularity earlier this year — tailing, unwanted touching, invasive contact with her friends and family members — she kicked off a major discussion about the relationship between a celebrity and their audience and the downside of so-called parasocial relationships. A parasocial relationship (PSR) is generally defined as a relationship in which one member of the relationship isn’t aware of the other — e.g. a fan loves a celebrity, but the celebrity doesn’t know they exist. Not only celebrities, PSRs also exist between people and fictional characters, whether played by an actor or not. A parasocial relationship isn’t necessarily a bad thing. But digital interaction complicates these natural relationships. The conventional arrangement of PSRs, where the fan or follower has no actual contact with a celebrity or creator, gets noticeably disrupted by our new platforms for communication — a celebrity might see a fan’s message or even reply. “When fans are gaining access to the celebrity through social media posts, it increases the feeling of closeness.” Says Stever, a researcher on this topic. As fandoms (粉丝群体) became more visible throughout the latter half of the 20th century, they became associated with youth and immaturity. adolescents (青少年) are most likely to develop intense parasocial relationships, because it can be a chance to practice real adult feelings on someone at a safe distance. And thanks to social media, behavior that might have been limited to one person or a few people might be given the chance to spread. So, a parasocial relationship that starts with healthy boundaries can turn sour. But, as Stever says, “Anything that can be true about a regular social relationship can be true about a parasocial relationship. Are they positive? Can they be good for us? Absolutely. Can they be negative? Can they be poisonous for us? We all know examples of that.” 1.Why’s pop singer Chappell Roan mentioned in paragraph 1? A. To criticize parasocial relationships. B. To reveal a fandom phenomenon. C. To recommend an interaction pattern. D. To introduce an academic discussion. 2.Which is a classic example of a parasocial relationship? A. Children are greatly attached to their parents. B. A reader loves a hero in Shakespeare’s play. C. A student establishes a solid friendship with a roommate. D. A singer interacts with fans at a meet-and-greet event. 3.How do social media affect parasocial relationships? A. They invade celebrities’ privacy. B. They cloud the lines between fans and celebrities. C. They develop a shared understanding. D. They promote adolescent immaturity. 4.Which is the best title for the text? A. Social Media: Restricting Parasocial Relationships B. Invasive Fandom: Unhealthy Fan- celebrity Bonds C. Disturbed Celebrities: From Admiration to Invasion D. Parasocial Relationships: Complicated in Digital Age 【答案】1. D　2. B　3. B　4. D 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇议论文。文章主要探讨了数字时代准社会关系的复杂性及影响。 (1)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第一段中“When pop singer Chappell Roan spoke out against the invasive (侵入的) fan behavior she had been experiencing since her sudden rise to popularity earlier this year — tailing, unwanted touching, invasive contact with her friends and family members — she kicked off a major discussion about the relationship between a celebrity and their audience and the downside of so-called parasocial relationships.(今年早些时候，流行歌手Chappell Roan自突然走红以来，就一直遭受着一些侵犯性粉丝行为的困扰——粉丝尾随、未经允许的触摸，以及对其亲朋好友的侵扰性接触，她公开对此表示反对，由此引发了一场关于名人与观众之间关系，以及所谓准社会关系负面影响的重大讨论)”可知，提到流行歌手Chappell Roan是为了引出关于准社会关系的学术讨论。故选D。 (2)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第二段“A parasocial relationship (PSR) is generally defined as a relationship in which one member of the relationship isn’t aware of the other — e.g. a fan loves a celebrity, but the celebrity doesn’t know they exist. Not only celebrities, PSRs also exist between people and fictional characters, whether played by an actor or not.(准社会关系(PSR)通常被定义为一种关系，其中一方不知道另一方的存在——例如，粉丝喜欢名人，但名人不知道他们的存在。不仅是名人，准社会关系也存在于人与虚构角色之间，无论这些角色是否由演员扮演)”可知，读者喜欢莎士比亚戏剧中的英雄，属于人与虚构角色之间的关系，是准社会关系的经典例子。故选B。 (3)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第三段“The conventional arrangement of PSRs, where the fan or follower has no actual contact with a celebrity or creator, gets noticeably disrupted by our new platforms for communication — a celebrity might see a fan’s message or even reply. ‘When fans are gaining access to the celebrity through social media posts, it increases the feeling of closeness.’ Says Stever, a researcher on this topic.(准社会关系的传统安排是粉丝或追随者与名人或创作者没有实际接触，但我们的新通信平台明显打乱了这种安排——名人可能会看到粉丝的信息甚至回复。研究这一主题的Stever说：“当粉丝通过社交媒体帖子接触到名人时，会增加亲密感。”)”可知，社交媒体模糊了粉丝和名人之间的界限。故选B。 (4)题解析： 主旨大意题。根据第一段“When pop singer Chappell Roan spoke out against the invasive (侵入的) fan behavior she had been experiencing since her sudden rise to popularity earlier this year — tailing, unwanted touching, invasive contact with her friends and family members — she kicked off a major discussion about the relationship between a celebrity and their audience and the downside of so-called parasocial relationships.(今年早些时候，流行歌手Chappell Roan自突然走红以来，就一直遭受着一些侵犯性粉丝行为的困扰——粉丝尾随、未经允许的触摸，以及对其亲朋好友的侵扰性接触，她公开对此表示反对，由此引发了一场关于名人与观众之间关系，以及所谓准社会关系负面影响的重大讨论)”以及全文可知，文章首先通过流行歌手Chappell Roan的经历引出准社会关系的讨论，接着介绍了准社会关系的定义，然后重点阐述了数字互动（社交媒体）使这种自然关系变得复杂，模糊了粉丝和名人之间的界限，还提到青少年容易发展出强烈的拟社会关系以及社交媒体可能使这种关系变味等情况。D选项“准社会关系：在数字时代变得复杂”最能概括文章主旨。故选D。 Passage 4 （25-26高一上·广东深圳第二实验学校-12月·期中）My childhood was a painted picture of sunny sky and rolling green fields stretching to the horizon. It tasted of sharp berries and smelt of sour grapes. My family lived in a cabin(小木屋) in the countryside but I lived in my mother’s arms. They were so delicate but strong, her red hair falling around me like a curtain separating me from the world. Childhood was simple. The borders of my village were the furthest my troubles went and monsters only lived in the pages of books. Every day was a waking dream of running races and muddy knees. My village was archaic, dying cabins housing dying farmers with dying traditions. There weren’t many children but me and the other boys; boys of butchers and sellers formed our own group. They called us wild. I suppose we were. Trees and mountains formed our playgrounds and fights broke out as easily as sudden laughter. Liberated from the restrictions of society, we would bound into the woods, deeper and deeper until we found a lake which, with a wild yell, we would jump into all at once. My most vivid memories from boyhood center around that lake. Water shone brightly and the sounds of our screams broke into the outcry from birds. The shock of cold water against sweating skin would wake every nerve in my body and my bare feet would hit the sinking muddy bottom. As we submerged(淹没)， time would suspend， movements slowing as bubbles rose around us. I was drowning. I was living. I was living. I was drowning. For timelessness or a second (both felt the same), we would suspend, curl up, and then be forced back out into breathing air. We should have known that it wouldn’t last forever. Yet, even under the best circumstances, there’s something so tragic about growing up: to have your perspective on the people and life around you change;to always struggle to reach a mirror only to find yourself tall enough to see your reflection one day. And find, a different person staring back out at you. 1.What does the underlined word “archaic” mean in paragraph 2? A. Borderless. B. Valueless. C. Old-fashioned. D. Poverty-stricken. 2.Why did the author consider himself and other children wild? A. They played in the woods crazily. B. They tricked others purposefully. C. They frequently broke social rules. D. They firmly refused school education. 3.How does the author introduce his memories of the lake? A. By sharing feelings. B. By expressing ideas. C. By making comparisons. D. By describing characters. 4.What message does the author seem to convey in the last paragraph? A. Loneliness and challenges make a man grow up. B. The regret of growth is that you have never tried. C. Growth is often accompanied by sad goodbyes to the past. D. Growth begins when we begin to accept our own weakness. 【答案】1. C　2. A　3. A　4. C 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要描绘了作者对于童年美好生活的回忆以及对于长大后童年时光逝去的感伤。 (1)题解析： 词义猜测题。根据考查词汇所在句子“My village was archaic, dying cabins housing dying farmers with dying traditions.（我的村庄很古老，垂死的小屋住着垂死的农民，他们的传统已经消亡。）”，并结合上下文语境可知此处是描写我小时候生活的村庄很陈旧。archaic意为“陈旧的”。故选C。 (2)题解析： 推理判断题。根据文章第三段中的“Trees and mountains formed our playgrounds and fights broke out as easily as sudden laughter. Liberated from the restrictions of society, we would bound into the woods, deeper and deeper until we found a lake which, with a wild yell, we would jump into all at once.（树木和山脉构成了我们的游乐场，打架就像突然的笑声一样容易爆发。从社会的束缚中解放出来，我们会跳进树林里，越陷越深，直到发现一个湖，我们会大叫一声，立刻跳进湖里。）”，可知，之所以作者认为自己和其他孩子都是野孩子，是因为他们在树林里疯狂地玩耍。故选A。 (3)题解析： 推理判断题。根据文章第四至六段的“Water shone brightly and the sounds of our screams broke into the outcry from birds. The shock of cold water against sweating skin would wake every nerve in my body and my bare feet would hit the sinking muddy bottom. As we submerged(淹没)， time would suspend， movements slowing as bubbles rose around us.（水面闪闪发光，我们的尖叫声被鸟儿的叫声打断了。冷水对着出汗的皮肤的冲击会唤醒我身体的每一根神经，我的光脚会撞到下沉的泥泞的底部。当我们潜入水中时，时间会停止，随着我们周围的气泡上升，运动变慢。）”和“I was drowning. I was living. I was living. I was drowning.（我快淹死了。我还活着。我还活着。我快淹死了。）”以及“For timelessness or a second (both felt the same), we would suspend, curl up, and then be forced back out into breathing air.（在一段时间或一秒钟内(两者的感觉都是一样的)，我们会暂停，蜷缩起来，然后被迫重新呼吸空气。）”可知，作者从自己当时的所见、所听、所感等多个层面描绘了自己童年时对于湖的回忆。故选A。 (4)题解析： 主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段“We should have known that it wouldn’t last forever. Yet, even under the best circumstances, there’s something so tragic about growing up: to have your perspective on the people and life around you change;to always struggle to reach a mirror only to find yourself tall enough to see your reflection one day. And find, a different person staring back out at you.（我们早该知道爱情不会永远持续下去。然而，即使在最好的情况下，成长也有一些悲剧:你对周围人和生活的看法发生了变化;你总是挣扎着去拿镜子，却发现自己已经足够高，有一天可以看到自己的倒影。然后发现，另一个人正盯着你。）”，可知，作者在最后一段似乎传达了“成长常常伴随着对过去的悲伤告别。”故选C。 主题语境02 人与社会-文学、艺术与体育 Passage 1 （25-26高一上·广东深圳宝安区宝安中学·期中）Born with a skin condition, Michaela Mabinty DePrince was labeled a “devil child” at her Sierra Leone orphanage (孤儿院), the last to be fed and the first to be beaten. When an issue of Dance Magazine blew into the orphanage yard, with a woman smiling on the cover, she imagined a better life as a ballerina. Adopted by an American family at age 4, she studied and practiced to make her dream a reality. When she was just 15, she was one of six promising dancers in the documentary First Position. She went on to study with the American Ballet Theater and became a dancer of the Dance Theater of Harlem. At the height of her career, she secured starring roles with the Dutch National Ballet and appearing in the film version of Beyoncé’s Lemonade. She was born in the war-torn West African country of Sierra Leone. When she was 3, her miner father was killed and her mother died of hunger. At the orphanage, she took to turning around quickly and standing on the tips of her toes, and the DePrinces, the couple who adopted her and brought her back to New Jersey, promised to take her to ballet lessons once she excelled in English. She was quickly discovered to be talented. With her athleticism and what one reviewer called her “spitfire quickness,” DePrince became an international star in Amsterdam. There she took the lead in such ballets as Swan Lake and Coppélia, dancing with “undeniable grace, strength, and precision”. She had to take a break in 2017 after an accident, which gave her time “to seek treatment for years of nightmares (噩梦)” about her wartime childhood. She joined the Boston Ballet in 2021 but left in the same year for undisclosed reasons. “Dance with your heart,” she once told young ballerinas. “Don’t let the negative aspects of life cause you to lose what made you want to achieve in the first place.” 1.Why is a magazine mentioned in Paragraph 1? A. To illustrate the cause of her skin condition. B. To show the unfair treatment at the orphanage. C. To indicate the inspiration for Michaela’s dream. D. To explain the variety of magazines at the orphanage. 2.What was the highlight of Michaela’s career? A. Dancing in the documentary First Position. B. Studying with the American Ballet Theater. C. Taking the lead in the Dance Theater of Harlem. D. Landing lead roles in the Dutch National Ballet. 3.When did Michaela start taking ballet lessons? A. Once she returned to New Jersey. B. After she learned English well. C. Once she attended English lessons. D. After she showed a talent for ballet. 4.Which of the following best describes Michaela? A. Lucky and mysterious. B. Gifted and resolved. C. Promising and curious. D. Talented and delighted. 【答案】1. C　2. D　3. B　4.

I had never been out of the country before, so I was very excited. My aunt, my father and I went around with my father showing us all the unbelievable sites in Paris. None of us spoke much French but we loved the city. We had taken the subway all over the city and were congratulating ourselves on our mastering what is honestly an excellent subway design that is pretty easy to follow. We decided to visit Versailles by train. We chatted happily along the way until my father realized we were far into the French countryside and no one around spoke English. We reached the end of the line and felt afraid when everyone finally left the train. An old man and his grandchild noticed us and came to help. He spoke no English, so in broken French we tried to explain. When he finally understood, this great man settled his grandson and showed us to the correct train and then boarded with us. Later we knew the truth that there was a train transfer (转乘) and he didn’t want us to miss it. This kind man rode a train for an hour and a half out of his way to make sure that three Americans got where they wanted to be. He refused to let us pay for his ticket. He did it all with a gentle smile and patted our hands gently at the stop. Then in his quiet way, he boarded the train to return the way he had come. What impressed me most was the man and his kindness during the amazing trip. Some Americans think the French are rude for some reason, but I always try to persuade them to change their minds with this very story. 1.What happened to the author and his family on the train? A. They couldn’t understand the signs of the train. B. They failed to get off the train at the right time. C. They had different opinions about where to go first. D.

I was so excited but also a little nervous because my French was not good. One hot afternoon, after exploring the city, I felt really tired. I wanted to tell my French friend, Claire, “I am a little tired.” I carefully said the words I’d learned: “Je suis un pue fatigue.” But Claire burst out laughing. My face felt hot. What had I done wrong? Claire explained, “In French, there are words that sound similar but have very different meanings; ‘peu’ means ‘a little,’ but if you pronounce it differently, it can sound like ‘pue’, which means ‘stinks’ — like something smells bad. So, instead of saying you needed a rest, it sounded like you were saying you smelled bad and were tired”. This awkward (尴尬的) moment was a real eye-opener for me. It made me realize just how daunting pronunciation can be in a foreign language. Even small differences in pronunciation can completely change the meaning of what you’re trying to say. The same is true in English, for example, “ship” (a large boat) and “sheep” (a woolly animal) sound very similar, but they mean totally different things. Now, I pay extra attention to how words sound and what they mean. And if I mix them up again? I’ll just laugh along. After all, laughing is part of learning - even if it’s a bit stinky sometimes. 1.Why was the author nervous about his holiday in France? A. He was poor at French. B. He never went abroad. C. He had no friends there. D. He was in short of money. 2.What awkward moment did the author meet? A. He met a wrong person. B. He made a pronunciation mistake. C. He was tricked by the locals. D. He spelt a word incorrectly. 3.What lesson did the author learn from his embarrassing experience? A. It is better to stay silent than to risk making mistakes. B. Mastering grammar is more important than pronunciation. C. A tiny error in speech can lead to a major misunderstanding. D. French is the most difficult language for foreigners to learn. 4.How did the author’s experience in France affect him? A. He smelled bad and was tired. B. He hated learning foreign languages. C. He no longer considered Claire as a friend. D. He became open to mistakes in language learning. 【答案】1. A　2. B　3. C　4. D 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇记叙文。作者在法国旅行时因法语发音错误，将“有点累”说成“有臭味”，闹了个尴尬笑话。这次经历让他意识到外语发音的重要性，并学会以积极心态对待学习中的错误。 (1)题解析： 细节理解题。根据文章第一段中的“I was so excited but also a little nervous because my French was not good.(我感到非常兴奋，但也有点紧张，因为我的法语不太好。)”可知，作者对去法国度假感到紧张是因为他的法语不好，即他在法语方面比较薄弱。因此，选项A“He was poor at French.(他的法语不好。)”符合题意。故选A。 (2)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Claire explained, “In French, there are words that sound similar but have very different meanings. ‘peu’ means ‘a little,’ but if you pronounce it differently, it can sound like ‘pue’, which means ‘stinks’ — like something smells bad.(Claire解释说：“在法语中，有些词发音相似，但意思却大不相同。‘peu’的意思是‘一点点’，但如果你发音不同，听起来就像‘pue’，意思是‘发臭’——就像什么东西闻起来很臭。)”可知，作者遇到的尴尬时刻是发音错误。故选B。 (3)题解析： 推理判断题。根据文章第四段中的“It made me realize just how daunting pronunciation can be in a foreign language. Even small differences in pronunciation can completely change the meaning of what you’re trying to say.(这让我意识到发音在外语中是多么令人畏惧。即使发音上的微小差异也可能完全改变你想表达的意思。)”以及后文提到的英语中的例子“ship”和“sheep”的发音相似但意思完全不同，可以推断出作者从这次尴尬的经历中学到了一个教训：语言中的微小错误可能导致重大的误解。因此，选项C“A tiny error in speech can lead to a major misunderstanding.(语言中的微小错误可能导致重大的误解。)”符合题意。故选C。 (4)题解析： 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中的“Now, I pay extra attention to how words sound and what they mean. And if I mix them up again? I’ll just laugh along. After all, laughing is part of learning - even if it’s a bit stinky sometimes.(现在，我会格外注意单词的发音和意思。如果我再把它们混淆了呢？我会跟着一起笑的。毕竟，笑是学习的一部分——即使有时有点尴尬。)”可知，作者在法国的经历让他对语言学习中的错误持开放态度，他不再害怕犯错，而是选择以积极的心态面对并从中学习。故选D。 Passage 2 （25-26高一上·广东深圳高级中学·期中）Math had never been something I was good at since middle school. Classes became harder in high school, and I was even further from a math teacher’s dream student. So, at the start of my freshman year, I carried a quiet resentment toward math. It wasn’t that I didn’t want to do well, but simply that I didn’t think I was able to do well. “I can’t” became my state of mind in all things related to math. However, I was soon to learn that “I can’t” was not a choice in Ms. Zhou’s class. Ms. Zhou always greeted us with open arms as she said, “Welcome! Smile! It’s a great day to be alive!” It was clear that Ms. Zhou had a true passion not only for math but for teaching. If Ms. Zhou ever experienced bad days in life, she never showed it. She greeted us with that same smile every day. She encouraged each student, from the top achiever to the “I can’t” student. I found myself looking forward to math class, although I still hated the subject itself. Being in Ms. Zhou’s presence made me feel good, as if I had the chance to succeed. As the year progressed I spent increasingly more time on my homework, and I met with Ms. Zhou weekly. My classmates began to do the same, and it became “cool” to have lunch and talk with Ms. Zhou. We didn’t know it at the time, but she was changing our attitudes. Though my story is not one of overnight successes and I didn’t become a straight-A math student, my hard work did begin to pay off, and my grades slowly began to climb. There were hard times, of course. Difficult math questions sometimes succeeded in bringing me down, but Ms. Zhou kept reminding me, “Silver, smile! It’s a great day to be alive!” 1.What does the underlined word “resentment” in paragraph 1 most likely mean? A. Curiosity B. Responsibility C. Dislike D. Misunderstanding 2.What first made the author look forward to math class? A. Her interest in math B. Ms. Zhou’s attitude C. Her friends’ encouragement D. The top achievers in her class 3.How did the author feel about her talk over lunch with Ms. Zhou? A. It was boring B. It was awkward C. It was challenging D. It was impressive 4.How did the author change in math? A. She fell in love with math totally B. She made slow but steady progress C. She became a top math student finally D. She was comfortable with math questions 【答案】1. C　2. B　3. D　4. B 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者中学时数学成绩不佳且心怀抵触，在周老师热情鼓励与积极引导下，逐渐改变态度、努力学习，最终取得稳步进步的故事。 (1)题解析： 词句猜测题。根据第一段中的“Math had never been something I was good at since middle school. Classes became harder in high school, and I was even further from a math teacher’s dream student. So, at the start of my freshman year, I carried a quiet resentment toward math. It wasn’t that I didn’t want to do well, but simply that I didn’t think I was able to do well. (从上中学起，数学就从来不是我的强项。高中的课程变得更难了，我离数学老师心中理想的学生更是差得远。所以，在大一刚开始的时候，我对数学怀有一种隐秘的 。我不是不想学好，只是觉得自己做不到。)”可知，作者数学一直不好，高中课程更难后，对数学产生了负面情绪，“resentment”意为“反感、厌恶”，与“Dislike”语义相近。故选C项。 (2)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Ms. Zhou always greeted us with open arms as she said, “Welcome! Smile! It’s a great day to be alive!” It was clear that Ms. Zhou had a true passion not only for math but for teaching. If Ms. Zhou ever experienced bad days in life, she never showed it. She greeted us with that same smile every day. She encouraged each student, from the top achiever to the “I can’t” student. (周老师总是热情地迎接我们，说道：“欢迎！微笑吧！这是活着的美好一天！” 显而易见，周老师不仅对数学怀有真挚的热爱，对教学亦是如此。即便生活中遭遇不顺，她也从未显露分毫。她每天都带着同样的笑容迎接我们，鼓励每一位学生——无论是成绩顶尖的优等生，还是常把“我不行”挂在嘴边的学生。)”和第四段中的“I found myself looking forward to math class, although I still hated the subject itself. Being in Ms. Zhou’s presence made me feel good, as if I had the chance to succeed. (我发现自己开始期待数学课了，尽管我仍然讨厌这门学科本身。和周老师在一起让我感觉很好，仿佛我有了成功的机会。)”可知，周老师的热情、对教学的热爱以及对所有学生的鼓励，让作者开始期待数学课，核心原因是周老师的态度。故选B项。 (3)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“My classmates began to do the same, and it became “cool” to have lunch and talk with Ms. Zhou. We didn’t know it at the time, but she was changing our attitudes.

When I was growing up, school wasn’t really my thing, but sport very much was. Athletics connected me to my school community by giving me a sense of belonging and success even when I struggled in the classroom. When I entered education, I knew I wanted to be more than a coach on the field and court — I wanted to help students like me make meaningful connections to school through sports. I designed a program around the concepts of comfort and stretch zones. On day one, I set up a range of equipment for different sports across a field. In groups, students discussed sports that they felt comfortable and safe playing. They then took turns selecting their comfort sport on the field, doing a brief share, and playing with their group. Afterward, we had a class discussion on the importance of doing things that bring joy and passion, and how sharing that passion with others motivates us and the people around us. On day two, with the same field design and sporting equipment, I introduced the idea of stretch zones. Students formed the same groups as on day one and discussed which sports were out of their comfort zone and more challenging to them. Some of my students were shy and others slightly frustrated (沮丧) as they struggled to perform the skills in sports in which they were not comfortable. Then we discussed, as a class, how even when something is challenging, if we recognize the difficulty and intentionally practice, we give ourselves the opportunity to overcome it over time. The program required more than just adjusting my curriculum (课程) — it also meant some changes to the way I taught. I found myself opening up to my students and sharing my own hardships and successes with them. As a result, my students felt freer to be their real selves. 1.What did the author think of sport when he was a student? A. It helped him get attached to school. B. It led to a decline in his grades. C. It made him struggle in the classroom. D. It appealed mainly to seniors. 2.Why did the author design the program? A. To change curricula and teaching methods. B. To prepare students for unexpected challenges. C. To deepen students’ connections with school. D. To share hardship and success with students. 3.What was a problem facing the author on the second day of the program? A. Students wanted material rewards. B. It was difficult to group students. C. Some students feared challenges. D. The sports field became crowded. 4.What can we infer about the author? A. He is involved in one sport. B. He used to be very shy. C. He is in favor of safe sports. D. He is a creative teacher. 【答案】1. A　2. C　3. C　4. D 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲的是为了让学生更好地融入校园生活，作者设计独特的体育项目，寓教于乐，促进学生健康成长。 (1)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第一段中“When I was growing up, school wasn’t really my thing, but sport very much was. Athletics connected me to my school community by giving me a sense of belonging and success even when I struggled in the classroom.(在我成长的过程中，学校并不是我真正感兴趣的事情，但体育运动是。即使我在课堂上很挣扎，体育运动也给了我归属感和成功感，使我与学校社区联系在一起)”可知，作者在学生时代对体育的看法是这让他喜欢上了学校。故选A。 (2)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第一段中“I wanted to help students like me make meaningful connections to school through sports.(我想帮助像我这样的学生通过体育运动与学校建立有意义的联系)”和第二段“I designed a program around the concepts of comfort and stretch zones.(我围绕舒适区和伸展区的概念设计了一个项目)”可知，作者设计这个课程是为了加深学生与学校的联系。故选C。 (3)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Some of my students were shy and others slightly frustrated (沮丧) as they struggled to perform the skills in sports in which they were not comfortable.(我的一些学生很害羞，另一些学生则有点沮丧，因为他们在运动中很难表现出他们不舒服的技能)”可知，在项目的第二天，作者遇到的问题是一些学生害怕挑战。故选C。 (4)题解析： 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是第二段中“I designed a program around the concepts of comfort and stretch zones.(我围绕舒适区和伸展区的概念设计了一个项目)”及最后一段“The program required more than just adjusting my curriculum (课程) — it also meant some changes to the way I taught.

This dream began as early as kindergarten, during a time when spaceflight was dominated by men. “Fortunately, when I told my kindergarten teachers that I wanted to be an astronaut they supported me. No one told me that it was unattainable. And whether it was my own hard-headedness or that encouragement, I did go full forward into pursuing my dream to become an astronaut,” she says. Koch found inspiration in pioneers like Sally Ride and Mae Jemison, but also in everyday heroes — from civil rights activists to her independent grandmother. These examples, along with her family’s emphasis on hard work, instilled in her the courage to chase her dreams. Koch studied physics and electrical engineering before joining NASA at the Goddard Space Flight Center, where she contributed to the development of scientific instruments on several space missions. Driven by a thirst for adventure, she spent a year in Antarctica’s tough environment and then in other remote locations like Greenland. Unsurprisingly, she cited photography, travel, camping and climbing among her hobbies. The ultimate fulfillment (实现) of her dream came in 2013, when she was selected as an astronaut, joining a groundbreaking class with an equal number of men and women. Previously, women comprised only 17% of NASA’s astronauts. After completing training in 2015, she was assigned her first long-stay mission on the International Space Station (ISS). Her success is undeniable. As part of the Artemis II mission, scheduled for 2025, she’ll travel further than any human since Apollo, an evidence of her constant ambition. Koch advocates following passions and embracing challenges. “Do what scares you,” she advises, “because those things often lead to the greatest fulfillment and contributions.”Besides, Koch also says that there’s one that should never be forgotten: “Support the people around you. Make sure that you’re thinking about the success of those around you, that you’re helping them, and together we all will achieve as much as we possibly can.” 1.What initially motivated Koch to become an astronaut? A. Her desire to push herself to the limit. B. Her early enthusiasm in space exploration. C. Her wish to reward her kindergarten teachers. D. Her ambition to change the position of women astronauts. 2.What can we infer from the passage? A. Koch invented some scientific devices. B. Koch set a record for the longest spaceflight. C. Various hobbies prepared Koch for adventure. D. Role models impacted Koch greatly in her life journey. 3.What does Koch’s advice indicate? A. Seeking support is crucial for dream chasers. B. Being kind to others is the stepstone to success. C. Welcoming challenges leads to personal growth. D. Working tirelessly is key to overcoming barriers. 4.What is the best title of the passage? A. Christina Koch: An Explorer of Nature B. Christina Koch: A Dream Pursuer to Space C. Christina Koch: A Role Model from Jacksonville D. Christina Koch: A Distinguished Female Scientist 【答案】1. B　2.

Are you able to manage your money well? Can you sew a button onto clothes? Not many of us can confidently nod our heads to these questions. Nowadays, schools focus a lot on tough tests and making academic (学业的) requirements higher. Because of this, classes on practical skills are sometimes left out of our busy school schedule. Even when schools do teach these skills, they’re often ignored or not seen as important. I believe, however, that schools should teach practical skills as part of a well-rounded education to help us survive in the real world after we graduate. Schools have done well in preparing us to be successful students in our studies, but may not have prepared us well enough in developing life skills. Yet practical skills such as cooking, housekeeping and first-aid are important for us to manage in the real world. For example, to those who did not have such basic skills, the Covid-19 lockdown was a big shock, as they suddenly found themselves in a difficult situation where restaurants had to close and other important home services also stopped working. For those who experienced lockdowns, being able to cook meals or fix a light bulb themselves would have been satisfying. Yet, it’s a pity that schools continue to produce more scholarly individuals who are unfortunately unable to perform simple home-based tasks. When schools teach practical skills, they are sending an important signal that academic performance alone does not lead to successful growth. Skills such as financial (财政的) management help us become more responsible individuals. Equipped with the financial knowledge that experts provide in schools, we can better discuss our financial and budgeting goals with our parents. Furthermore, enough knowledge on budgeting and saving can keep us away from overspending and help us navigate the world of money more cautiously. The world we live in today is far more complex and schools need to teach beyond academic subjects. Sandra Carey, a writer, puts it: “Never mistake knowledge for wisdom. One helps you make a living; the other helps you make a life.” School is not simply a place to pass on knowledge and prepare us for a career. By offering us practical skills, it also passes on wisdom that can help us build happy, healthy and fulfilled lives. 1.Why does the author mention the three questions in the first paragraph? A. To make the article funny and attractive. B. To show the difficulty in learning these skills. C. To show these practical skills are in great need. D. To prove academic knowledge is more important. 2.How does the writer develop the second paragraph? A. By using quotes. B. By giving examples. C. By explaining reasons. D. By making comparisons. 3.What is the benefit of school’s teaching financial management skills? A. It gives students an advantage in the job market. B. It causes students to be more likely to overspend. C. It makes students better talk about financial plans. D. It helps students become more financially independent. 4.Which of the following would Sandra Carey most likely agree with? A. Knowledge is power. B. All that glitters is not gold. C. A little learning is a dangerous thing. D. Knowledge for life, wisdom for soul. 【答案】1. C　2. B　3. C　4. D 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了学校教育应注重实用技能的培养，指出学校在学术教育上表现出色，但在生活技能培养上有所欠缺，强调实用技能对现实生活的重要性，并阐述了学校教授理财等实用技能的好处。 (1)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第一段中“Are you able to cook a healthy meal? Are you able to manage your money well? Can you sew a button onto clothes? Not many of us can confidently nod our heads to these questions. Nowadays, schools focus a lot on tough tests and making academic (学业的) requirements higher. Because of this, classes on practical skills are sometimes left out of our busy school schedule.(你会烹饪营养均衡的餐食吗？能妥善管理个人财务吗？会给衣服缝纽扣吗？面对这些问题，能坦然点头的人恐怕不多。当下学校教育往往侧重于严苛考试与学业要求，实用技能课程因而在紧凑的课表中时常缺席)”可知，作者通过提出这三个问题，指出很多人可能并不具备这些基本的实用技能，从而表明这些实用技能是急需的，进而引出相关教育话题。故选C项。 (2)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第二段中“For example, to those who did not have such basic skills, the Covid-19 lockdown was a big shock, as they suddenly found themselves in a difficult situation where restaurants had to close and other important home services also stopped working.(例如，对于那些没有这些基本技能的人来说，新冠疫情封锁是一个巨大的冲击，因为他们突然发现自己处于一个困难的境地，餐馆不得不关闭，其他重要的家庭服务也停止了工作)”可知，作者通过举例那些没有基本生活技能的人在新冠疫情封锁期间遇到的困难，来强调实用技能的重要性，从而展开第二段的论述。故选B项。 (3)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Equipped with the financial knowledge that experts provide in schools, we can better discuss our financial and budgeting goals with our parents.(有了学校专业人员提供的金融知识，我们可以更好地与父母讨论我们的财务和预算目标)”可知，学校教授财务管理技能的好处是让学生能够更好地讨论财务计划。故选C项。 (4)题解析： 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Sandra Carey, a writer, puts it: “Never mistake knowledge for wisdom. One helps you make a living; the other helps you make a life.”(作家桑德拉·凯里说：“永远不要把知识和智慧混为一谈。一个帮助你谋生；另一个帮助你创造生活。”)”可知，桑德拉·凯里认为知识和智慧是不同的，知识帮助谋生，智慧帮助创造生活，由此推知，她最可能同意的是“知识为生活，智慧为灵魂”。故选D项。 主题语境02 人与社会-科学与技术 Passage 1 （25-26高一上·广东多校联考·期中）From childhood to adulthood, you go through a lot of changes — jobs, regrettable haircuts and relationships that come and go. But what about who you are? As you grow older, does your personality change? Personality is the pattern of thoughts, feelings and behaviors unique to a person. People always think of personality as fixed. But according to psychologists, that’s not how it works. “Personality is developing. It’s not just something that you’re stuck with and can’t get over,” said Brent Roberts, a psychologist at the University of Illinois. That’s not to say that you’re a different person each day you wake up. In the short term, change can be nearly impossible to see, Roberts told Live Science. Longitudinal studies, in which researchers survey the personalities of participants regularly over many years, suggest that our personality is actually stable in the short term. But those years add up, throughout which our personality is still changing, but slowly, Roberts said. “It’s something that’s unnoticeable,” he added. You don’t feel it on that five-to-10-year time period, but in the long term, it becomes obvious. In 1960, psychologists surveyed over 440,000 high school students — around 5% of all students in the country at that time. The students answered questions about everything from how they behaved in emotional situations to how well and effectively they got work done. Fifty years later, researchers tracked down 1,952 of these former students and gave them the same survey. The results found that in their 60s, participants scored much higher than they had as teenagers. Some people might change less than others, but in general, the maturity (成熟) principle goes for everyone. That makes personality change even harder to realize in ourselves — how your personality compares with that of your peers doesn’t change as much as our overall change in personality, because everyone else is changing right along with you. “It has been proved that the self-control of a 30-year-old is higher than a 20-year-old,” Donnellan said. “At the same time, people who are more self-controlled at 18 are also possibly more self-controlled at age 30.” 1.What does the writer think of personality? A. It changes obviously from day to day. B. It is fixed since you were born. C. It works when we meet difficulties. D. It is what makes you different from others. 2.What does the underlined word “stable” in paragraph 3 mean? A. not easily upset. B. not likely to change. C. easy to change. D. difficult to destroy. 3.How does the writer support his idea? A. By providing research results. B. By stating arguments. C. By explaining causes. D. By giving examples. 4.Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text? A. Everyone Has a Unique Personality. B. We Grow Older but Change Less. C. Self-control Makes All the Difference. D. Our Personality Changes as We Get Older. 【答案】1. D　2. B　3. A　4. D 【解析】【导语】 这是一篇议论文。在文中作者通过一些专业人员的研究成果证明随着年龄的增长一个人的性格也是变化的。 (1)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第二段“Personality is the pattern of thoughts, feelings and behaviors unique to a person.(个性是一个人所特有的思想、感情和行为模式)”可知，作者认为“personality”使一个人不同于别人。unique to a person与different from others意思相近。故选D项。 (2)题解析： 词句猜测题。根据第三段“In the short term, change can be nearly impossible to see, Roberts told Live Science.(罗伯茨告诉《生活科学》杂志，在短期内，几乎不可能看到变化)”可知，短期来看，一个人的性格变化是几乎看不出来的，由此推测，stable的意思是“没什么变化的，稳定的”，这里指短期内，一个人的性格使没有很大变化的。故选B项。 (3)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第二段中“But according to psychologists, that’s not how it works. “Personality is developing. It’s not just something that you’re stuck with and can’t get over,” said Brent Roberts, a psychologist at the University of Illinois. (但心理学家认为，事实并非如此。‘个性在发展。这不仅仅是你无法摆脱的事情，’伊利诺伊大学的心理学家Brent Roberts说)”及第三段中“Longitudinal studies, in which researchers survey the personalities of participants regularly over many years, suggest that our personality is actually stable in the short term.(在纵向研究中，研究人员多年来定期调查参与者的性格，结果表明我们的性格在短期内实际上是稳定的)”及第四段中“In 1960, psychologists surveyed over 440,000 high school students…(1960年，心理学家调查了44万多名高中生)”和“Fifty years later, researchers tracked down 1,952 of these former students and gave them the same survey. The results found that in their 60s, participants scored much higher than they had as teenagers.(50年后，研究人员找到1952名曾经的学生，对他们进行了同样的调查。结果发现，参与者在60多岁时的得分远高于青少年时期)”可知，作者是通过提供相关研究成果来支持自己的论点的。故选A项。 (4)题解析： 主旨大意题。根据第一段“From childhood to adulthood, you go through a lot of changes — jobs, regrettable haircuts and relationships that come and go. But what about who you are? As you grow older, does your personality change?(从童年到成年，你经历了很多变化——工作、令你后悔的发型和来来去去的关系。但你是谁呢？随着年龄的增长，你的性格会改变吗？)”及第四段“But those years add up, throughout which our personality is still changing, but slowly(但随着时间的推移，我们的性格仍在发生变化，但变化缓慢)”可知，本文的主题是随着年龄的增长，一个人性格也是变化的。故选D项。 Passage 2 （25-26高一上·广东汕头金山中学·期中）Anyone who has taken a standardized test knows that writing an essay in 20 minutes or less takes serious brain power. Having access to artificial intelligence (AI) would certainly lighten the mental load. But as a recent study by researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) suggests, that help may come at a cost. Over the course of a series of essay-writing sessions, students working with as well as without an AI chatbot had their brain activity measured. Across the board, the AI users exhibited markedly lower brain activity in areas associated with creative functions and attention. Whether AI will leave people’s brains weak in the long term remains an open question. Researchers behind this study have stressed that further work is needed to establish a definitive causal link between elevated AI use and weakened brains. After all, the study had a tiny sample size and focused on a single narrow task. Moreover, generative-AI tools clearly seek to lighten people’s mental loads, as many other technologies do. Concerns about this kind of offloading aren’t new. As long ago as the 5th century BC, Socrates was quoted as complaining that writing is not “a potion(神药) for remembering, but for reminding”. Calculators spare cashiers from computing a bill. Navigation apps remove the need for map-reading. And yet few would argue that people are less capable as a result. There is little evidence to suggest that letting machines handle users’ mental tasks alters the brain’s capacity for thinking. But the worry is that generative AI allows one to offload a thought process. And once the brain has developed a taste for offloading, it can be a hard habit to kick. As one user put it, “I rely so much on AI that I don’t think I’d know how to solve certain problems without it.” The technology is so young that, for many tasks, the human brain is still the sharpest tool in the toolkit. But in time both the consumers of AI and its regulators will have to assess whether its wider benefits outweigh any cognitive (认知) costs. If stronger evidence emerges that AI makes people less intelligent, will they care? 1.What does paragraph 3 emphasize about the MIT study? A. The procedures it followed. B. The limitations in its design. C. The conclusion it has drawn. D. The diversity among its participants. 2.According to Socrates, what negative consequence could writing have? A. People would avoid using reminders. B. People would stop thinking independently. C. People would rely less on their own memory. D. People would care less about the spoken word. 3.What point does the user’s remark in paragraph 5 illustrate? A. AI can change users’ mental capacity. B. AI is not widely available to the public. C. AI can encourage users’ mental laziness. D. AI is not capable of solving every problem. 4.What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Will AI Make You Stupid? B. How AI Lets You Offload Tasks C. Why AI Affects Your Thinking Abilities D. Is AI a Mental Shortcut You Can Easily Quit? 【答案】1. B　2. C　3. C　4. A 【解析】【导语】 这是一篇议论文。MIT研究表明，使用AI写作文的学生在创造力和注意力相关脑区活动显著降低，但长期影响未知。虽无证据显示AI 改变大脑思考能力，但需权衡其利弊。 (1)题解析： 主旨大意题。根据第三段“Whether AI will leave people’s brains weak in the long term remains an open question.

(早在公元前5世纪，苏格拉底就曾抱怨说，写作不是“记忆的药水，而是提醒的药水”。计算器使收银员不必计算账单。导航应用免去了看地图的需要。然而，很少有人会认为人们的能力因此而下降)”可知，根据苏格拉底的说法，写作的消极结果是人们更少依赖自己的记忆。故选C。 (3)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第五段中“But the worry is that generative AI allows one to offload a thought process. And once the brain has developed a taste for offloading, it can be a hard habit to kick. As one user put it, “I rely so much on AI that I don’t think I’d know how to solve certain problems without it.” (但令人担忧的是，生成式人工智能允许人们卸载思维过程。而且，一旦大脑养成了“卸载”的习惯，就很难改掉了。正如一位用户所说，“我太依赖人工智能了，如果没有它，我不知道如何解决某些问题。”)”可知，该用户的话表明AI可能会助长用户的思维惰性。故选C。 (4)题解析： 主旨大意题。通读全文，并结合第三段“Whether AI will leave people’s brains weak in the long term remains an open question. Researchers behind this study have stressed that further work is needed to establish a definitive causal link between elevated AI use and weakened brains. After all, the study had a tiny sample size and focused on a single narrow task. (从长远来看，人工智能是否会让人类的大脑变弱，这仍然是一个悬而未决的问题。这项研究背后的研究人员强调，需要进一步的工作来确定人工智能使用量增加与大脑功能减弱之间的明确因果关系。毕竟，这项研究的样本量很小，而且只关注一个单一的任务)”和最后一段“The technology is so young that, for many tasks, the human brain is still the sharpest tool in the toolkit. But in time both the consumers of AI and its regulators will have to assess whether its wider benefits outweigh any cognitive (认知) costs. If stronger evidence emerges that AImakes people less intelligent, will they care? (这项技术是如此年轻，以至于在许多任务中，人类的大脑仍然是工具包中最锋利的工具。但随着时间的推移，人工智能的消费者和监管机构都将不得不评估其更广泛的好处是否超过任何认知成本。如果有更有力的证据表明人工智能会让人变得更不聪明，他们会在意吗?)”可知，文章主要介绍MIT 研究表明，使用AI写作文的学生在创造力和注意力相关脑区活动显著降低，虽无证据显示AI 改变大脑思考能力，但需权衡其利弊。因此A项“AI会使你变笨吗?”可以作为本文的最佳标题。故选A。 Passage 3 （25-26高一上·广东多校联考·期中）Expecting the worst to avoid feeling bad later is known as “bracing”. It may help them prepare for emotionally challenging situations, particularly in the moments before these situations occur. People brace for the worst while awaiting potentially negative outcomes. Someone might also brace for the worst in anticipation of stressful events like giving a presentation at work. Some psychological theories suggest that bracing should help. For example, “decision affect theory” proposes that how we feel about a situation is determined partly by comparing what actually happened with what could have happened. Based on this, people should be happy when an event goes beyond their expectations, and disappointed when an event falls behind. Therefore, by anticipating the worst, one can safeguard themselves against future disappointment, as any result is likely to surpass their expectations. Other psychological theories, nevertheless, undermine the idea that bracing will be helpful. It has been theorized and scientifically established that expectations can powerfully influence reality. There are two key ways that expectations can shape reality. First, people may behave in ways that fit with their expectations. If you expect to fail an upcoming test or interview, then you might not invest efforts in preparation, which in turn reduces your chances of doing well. Second, people may interpret a situation in line with their expectations. Imagine you believe you are insufficiently qualified for a job you’ve applied for. During the job interview, you’re likely to interpret blank expressions from the interviewer in line with this belief, which could negatively affect your performance. In fact, the interviewer did not want to give anything away. Drawing together the scientific studies, it seems that expecting the worst is anything but a wise way to prepare for upcoming news or results. It might be more sensible to hold positive expectations than to brace for the worst. 1.What is the second paragraph mainly about? A. The logic of preparing for the worst. B. The theory of comparing past and future. C. The conflict between people’s expectation and reality. D. The emotions hidden behind anticipating the worst. 2.What does the underlined word “undermine” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Strengthen. B. Propose. C. Weaken. D. Justify. 3.How can negative expectations probably affect people’s performance in reality? A. By reducing people’s chances of doing well. B. By stimulating people’s ambition and motivation. C. By giving weight to people’s potential of excellence. D. By causing less preparation and some misinterpretations. 4.Which would the author most likely agree with regarding “bracing for the worst”? A. It fully guarantees people a positive emotional experience. B. It may bring more drawbacks than benefits in practice. C. It is a universal solution for handling difficult situations. D. It has no impact on how people view real-life events. 【答案】1. A　2. C　3. D　4. B 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇议论文。文章围绕“为最坏情况做准备(bracing)”展开讨论，介绍了相关心理理论，指出其弊端，认为抱有积极期望或许更明智。 (1)题解析： 主旨大意题。根据第二段“Some psychological theories suggest that bracing should help. For example, ‘decision affect theory’ proposes that how we feel about a situation is determined partly by comparing what actually happened with what could have happened. Based on this, people should be happy when an event goes beyond their expectations, and disappointed when an event falls behind. Therefore, by anticipating the worst, one can safeguard themselves against future disappointment, as any result is likely to surpass their expectations.(一些心理理论表明，为最坏情况做准备应该是有帮助的。例如，‘决策影响理论’提出，我们对一种情况的感受部分取决于将实际发生的事情与可能发生的事情进行比较。基于此，当一件事情超出我们的预期时，人们应该会感到高兴，而当一件事情未达预期时，人们会感到失望。因此，通过预期最坏的情况，人们可以避免未来的失望，因为任何结果都可能超出他们的预期)”可知，该段主要介绍了心理理论表明，通过预期最坏的情况，人们可以避免对未来的失望，因为任何结果都可能超出他们的预期。所以本段阐述了为最坏情况做准备背后的逻辑。故选A项。 (2)题解析： 词句猜测题。根据第三段中“Other psychological theories, nevertheless, undermine the idea that bracing will be helpful. It has been theorized and scientifically established that expectations can powerfully influence reality.(然而，其他心理理论……认为为最坏情况做准备会有帮助的观点。从理论和科学上已经证实，期望会对现实产生强大的影响)”以及后文介绍期望影响现实导致为最坏情况做准备不一定有帮助，可推知，其他理论是削弱了这种认为为最坏情况做准备有帮助的观点。“undermine”意思是“削弱”，与C项“Weaken”同义。故选C项。 (3)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第四段中“First, people may behave in ways that fit with their expectations. If you expect to fail an upcoming test or interview, then you might not invest efforts in preparation, which in turn reduces your chances of doing well. Second, people may interpret a situation in line with their expectations. Imagine you believe you are insufficiently qualified for a job you’ve applied for. During the job interview, you’re likely to interpret blank expressions from the interviewer in line with this belief, which could negatively affect your performance.(首先，人们的行为方式可能与他们的期望相符。如果你预计即将到来的考试或面试会失败，那么你可能不会投入精力去准备，这反过来会降低你表现出色的机会。其次，人们可能会按照自己的期望来解读一种情况。想象一下，你认为自己申请的一份工作资历不够。在面试过程中，你可能会根据这种信念来解读面试官的面无表情，这可能会对你的表现产生负面影响)”可知，消极期望可能会通过导致准备不足和一些错误解读来影响人们在现实中的表现。故选D项。 (4)题解析： 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Drawing together the scientific studies, it seems that expecting the worst is anything but a wise way to prepare for upcoming news or results. It might be more sensible to hold positive expectations than to brace for the worst.(综合这些科学研究，似乎期待最坏的情况绝不是为即将到来的消息或结果做准备的明智方式。抱有积极的期望可能比为最坏的情况做准备更明智)”可推断，作者认为在实践中，为最坏情况做准备可能带来的弊端多于好处。故选B项。 主题语境03 人与自然-自然生态 （25-26高一上·广东茂名第一中学-10月·期中）It’s often said that people who are born blind or lose their sight, especially when young, can touch, taste, smell, and hear better than those who can see. Donna Posont, who is blind, helps others use their enhanced hearing (增强的听力) to detect (探测) thousands of bird songs. Posont is a graduate of the University of Michigan-Dearborn. She leads a monthly program she founded at the college. It’s called Birding by Ear and Beyond. It’s held on Saturday each month. During the program, Posont leads visually-impaired (视力受损的) people through 120 acres (英亩) of campus forest. They listen for the sounds of many birds. These include crows, geese, chickadees, woodpeckers, robins, and red-winged blackbirds. Participants learn to tell the sometimes subtle differences between bird species (物种). They also learn how each bird fits into their habitat (栖息地). “The world is designed for sighted people (视力正常的人), but nature is a special place where it’s okay to be blind,” Posont told The Washington Post. “You can use your other senses to learn why birds and nature are important and how it all works (as one). To me, that’s the beauty of it.” Through her program, Posont not only helps visually impaired individuals connect with nature but also inspires them to challenge their perceptions (认知) and embrace the world through a different point. The ability to identify birds by ear becomes a gateway (门户) to understanding the relationships within ecosystems (生态系统) and the value of nature. 1.What does Posont’s program focus on? A. Helping blind people identify birds by sound. B. Leading blind people to protect campus forest. C. Training blind people to be nature guides. D. Providing blind people a safe outdoor space. 2.Why does Posont think nature is a special place for blind people? A. Nature helps people learn about birds’ habitat. B. Nature benefits blind people’s physical health. C. Blind people can study the behavior of wildlife. D. Blind people can experience nature with other senses. 3.What can you infer from the last paragraph? A. The challenge of Posont’s program. B. The process of Posont’s program. C. The importance of Posont’s program. D. The development of Posont’s program. 4.Which would be the best title for the text? A. Natural Sound: A Journey to the Unknown B. Birding by Ear: A Program for the Blind C. Beauty of Nature: A Journey of Discovery D. Donna Posont: A Volunteer for Bird Protection 【答案】1. A　2. D　3. C　4. B 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Donna Posont创立Birding by Ear and Beyond项目，通过听觉训练帮助视障人士识别鸟类并理解自然的故事。 (1)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第二段中“During the program, Posont leads visually-impaired (视力受损的) people through 120 acres (英亩) of campus forest. They listen for the sounds of many birds. (在这个项目中，Posont带领视障人士穿过120英亩的校园森林。他们倾听许多鸟的叫声。)”和第三段中“Participants learn to tell the sometimes subtle differences between bird species (物种). (参与者要学会分辨鸟类之间的细微差别。)”可知，Posont的项目专注于帮助视障人士通过声音识别鸟类。故选A项。 (2)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第三段中Posont所说的话“You can use your other senses to learn why birds and nature are important and how it all works (as one). To me, that’s the beauty of it. (你可以用你的其他感官来了解为什么鸟类和自然是重要的，以及它们是如何（作为一个整体）运作的。对我来说，这就是它的美妙之处。)”可知，Posont认为大自然对视障人士的特别之处在于他们可以通过其他感官体验它。故选D项。 (3)题解析： 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Through her program, Posont not only helps visually impaired individuals connect with nature but also inspires them to challenge their perceptions (认知) and embrace the world through a different point. The ability to identify birds by ear becomes a gateway (门户) to understanding the relationships within ecosystems (生态系统) and the value of nature. (通过她的项目，Posont不仅帮助视障人士与自然联系，还激励他们挑战自己的观念，从不同的角度拥抱世界。通过耳朵识别鸟类的能力成为理解生态系统内部关系和自然价值的门户。)”可知，这个项目帮助视障人士与自然建立联系，鼓励他们挑战观念，理解生态系统的关系及自然的价值，这些突显了该项目的重要意义。故选C项。 (4)题解析： 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第二段中“She leads a monthly program she founded at the college. It’s called Birding by Ear and Beyond. (她领导着她在学院创立的一个月度项目。它被称为Birding by Ear and Beyond。)”可知，文章围绕Posont的Birding by Ear and Beyond项目展开，讲述了她创办该项目，通过听觉训练帮助视障人士识别鸟类并理解自然，展现了自然界对视障人士的独特意义，以及利用非视觉感官探索世界的可能性。因此，B项“听鸟声：视障人士项目”最契合文章主旨，适合作为文章标题。故选B项。 / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
