She was 92 years 194 days old when she triumphantly crossed the finish line at the 2022 Honolulu Marathon, setting up the record for the oldest person to complete a marathon (female). Mathea, now 93, of Koloa, Hawaii, USA, stays in shape all year round by running six days a week, no matter the weather. Come rain or shine, she covered 36 miles every week, even when she’s on holiday. The retired doctor didn’t take up running until she was 46 years old. After a colleague suggested running two miles per day. “The Honolulu Marathon is my favourite marathon partly because they don’t close the gate at a certain time which allows even the slowest runners to finish the race,” she said. “It’s one of the best-executed races. Fantastic registration, set up and management makes it a joy to participate in. Mathea, who doesn’t allow her age to slow her down, says she is happiest when she’s on the road. She enjoys running for miles and waving and saying hello to the people she passes. To stay in shape, Mathea, who runs year around, keeps a steady training routine. “I train year-round but increase the mileage starting 18 weeks before a marathon,” she said. Mathea says it was her career as a physician that allowed her to understand how her body and mind respond to diet and exercise. “I see the direct connection between moving and health,” she said. It is important to reduce stress rather than ignoring it without a plan on how to do so in the long run. Of course, exercise of any kind is a natural stress reducer. ” Mathea intends to keep running marathons for as long as she can and would like to attempt the record titles for the oldest person to complete a half marathon (female) and the oldest person to complete a 10K (female) within the next year. 1.What does the underlined word “triumphantly” in the first paragraph mean?

A. achievements B. ambition C. independence D. adventurous life 主题语境02 人与社会-科学与技术 （25-26高一上·宁夏灵武第一中学·期中）After a long teaching day, I saw someone searching for a lost key between the seats on a crowded train. Strangely, my first thought was to ask ChatGPT. This surprised me and made me wonder: What did I think of AI? Could it really help? Since ChatGPT appeared, teachers have different views. At first, I found it very useful. It offered me lesson ideas and saved me time. Students used it to understand difficult topics and get writing tips. But I noticed problems. One student couldn’t remember facts ChatGPT gave him. Another used it to make his writing sound smarter, but lost his own style. Using AI for work meant students missed chances to improve their own ideas by revising. I told them: Use AI to help improve your writing, not to do it for you. I also started using pen and paper more for lesson planning. It was slower, but my ideas felt more real and truly mine. This reminded me that the process of thinking is often more important than just the final result. And as a result, I’d managed to think more clearly. In a world increasingly led by speed, I learned the best ideas often need time and focus. I’m not against AI, but I need to adjust (调节) its role in my life. My goal is to keep what’s important in teaching: curiosity, critical thinking, and solving problems without always taking shortcuts. I hope my students will, too. 1.What was the author’s first thought upon seeing someone looking for a key on the train? A. Turning to ChatGPT for help. B. Joining in the search for it. C. Turning a blind eye to it. D. Reporting it to the police. 2.Why does the author mention his students in paragraph 3? A. To tell them they are smart. B. To tell how AI helps them. C. To show the problems AI brings. D. To prove his teaching job successful. 3.What did the author think of planning his lessons by using pen and paper more? A. It wasted too much of his time. B. It was good for his thinking. C. It allowed him to get answers quickly. D. It led to losing good teaching methods. 4.What is the author’s attitude towards using AI? A. Carefree. B. Hopeless. C. Unclear. D. Careful. 主题语境03 人与自我-生活与学习 Passage 1 （25-26高一上·青海西宁第十四中学·期中）Churchlands SeniorHigh School (CSHS) has become part of the Blue Tree Project, a national movement that encourages people to be open about their struggles and aims to end the shame of mental (心理的) illness. Last week, excitement filled the air as students at CSHS picked up paintbrushes and turned one of the trees bright blue. Laughter mixed with serious conversations as they worked side by side. When a few drops of paint accidentally landed on shoes or clothes, no one minded — it only made the memory more special. Jess Hazeldine, 17, explained that painting the tree blue was more than just an activity. To her, it was a promise from students to face the issue (问题) of mental health. “It shows we, as students, are doing something about it,” she said. “It means a lot because we are taking an active role in fighting mental health problems among young people.” She added that painting the tree blue was also a way of showing that the students understood how serious the issue was, and that they were ready to work together as a school to address it. Acting junior school principal Lisa Campbell also shared her thoughts. She said the school would now be listed on the Blue Tree Project’s website, alongside many other schools and organizations across the country. “It shows that we are part of a larger community in this cause,” she added. Parent board member Genevieve McSporran agreed. She believed the blue tree would remain a lasting reminder. “It’s more than just one day of awareness — it will always be there,” she explained. She pointed out that the tree, visible to anyone passing by, helped build a stronger connection with the wider community. 1.What is the aim of the Blue Tree Project? A. To raise awareness of mental health. B. To encourage students to form a habit. C. To prepare for a community festival. D. To recognize the weakness of students. 2.What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 3 refer to? A. Attending school. B. Painting the tree blue. C. Drawing a picture. D. Following a schedule. 3.What is Genevieve’s attitude toward the activity? A. Doubtful. B. Worried. C. Supportive. D. Uncertain. 4.Where is this text probably taken from? A. A student’s book. B.

Are you satisfied with it, or would you wish for something more? For many, the relationship with their parents is not perfect, and it may even feel distant (疏远的). I once hoped that my parents would be my best friends—people I could talk to openly, share my thoughts with, and have meaningful discussions with. However, the reality was very different. Our relationship was often filled with shouting and misunderstandings. We hardly had calm, meaningful conversations. Instead, there were months when we didn’t talk at all because there was nothing to say. For many years, from my teenage years to my late twenties, this was my reality. But things began to change when I decided to make an effort (努力) to improve the relationship. Now, at 30, my relationship with my parents has improved greatly. We communicate openly, without anger, and show concern for each other in a way that feels natural. Improving the relationship with your parents takes time. It is not a quick fix. When I first started, my efforts and apology(道歉) seemed pointless. For example, when I tried to hold my mom into my arms, she pushed me away. My dad didn’t give me a love sign. But I didn’t give up. I realized that improving a relationship is not about fixing a single argument; it’s about repairing years of misunderstandings and miscommunications. To truly improve your relationship with your parents, understand that it’s a long journey. It will not happen overnight, and you may not see results immediately. In my case, it took years of efforts. I had to show my parents that I had changed, not through words, but through actions. They slowly began to react (做出回应), but the process was slow and required patience. So, if you’re facing problems with your parents, remember that it’s normal. Start by seeing the situation as a long journey. It may not be easy, but if you keep trying and give it time, your relationship can get better. Be patient and stick to the process. 1.What was the author’s early relationship with her parents like? A. Terrible. B. Peaceful. C. Special. D. Close. 2.How did the author’s parents first react to her efforts? A. They accepted them warmly. B. They paid little attention to them. C. They were surprised and moved. D. They apologized for their misunderstandings. 3.What may the author consider most important in improving the parent-child relationship? A. Making apologies. B. Open conversations. C. Understanding each other. D. Long-term efforts and patience. 4.Why does the author write the text? A. To look back on the past. B. To give thanks to her parents. C. To offer suggestions to others. D. To describe a common social problem. 主题语境01 人与社会-历史、社会与文化 Passage 1 （25-26高一上·陕西宝鸡陈仓区虢镇中学·期中）Born in a small town, Zheng Tao lost both of his arms in an accident when he was just six years old. Life was difficult after this tragic event, and many people thought he couldn’t lead a normal life, let alone achieve something special. However, Zheng had a passion for swimming. He joined a local swimming team, even though it seemed impossible for him to compete without arms. His coach noticed his talent and decided to train him hard.

Passage 2 （25-26高一上·陕西普集高中·期中）TikTok has reported it will block young users on the social networking platform from using certain beauty filters (滤镜) on photographs. The filters allow users to edit photos and do things like making people’s skin look clearer, their eyes a little bigger or their lips a little fuller. Some filters also allow users to change their skin colour, and it can be hard to see when a photograph has been edited in this way. People under the age of 18 will be blocked from using these filters. Some of them are created by users and others are made by the app. TikTok posted the changes after a report by Internet matters, a children’s online safety organisation. The organisation found that these beauty filters could be harmful to children’s mental health because they put young people under pressure to look a certain way. This can harm children’s self-esteem (自尊) and cause worry, experts say. Christine Grahm from TikTok said on LinkedIn, “If our users don’t feel safe, they won’t bring their true selves to TikTok and the platform just wouldn’t be the same.” One TikTok user told The Guardian in 2022 that she had considered getting cosmetic surgery (美容手术) after a period of using beauty filters on the app. Fun filters that allow children to add dog noses or rabbit ears to images will still be OK to use. One problem with the ban (禁令) is that not all users enter their real ages when signing up to TikTok. The company said it would soon be trying out new machine learning systems that could help find out when users had entered the incorrect age, but it is under pressure to stop under 13s from using the platform by giving untrue dates of birth. Children’s safety organisations want all social media sites to do more to make the platforms safe spaces for young people. 1.What will TikTok do about certain beauty filters for young users? A. Test their safety. B. Post their advantages. C. Ban the use of them. D. Increase their users. 2.What is the influence of the beauty filters? A. It encourages creativity. B. It makes children worried. C. It develops self-esteem. D. It stops children from communicating. 3.Why is Christine Grahm mentioned in Paragraph 4? A. To show the harm of beauty filters. B. To make readers more interested. C. To warn children to stay away from Internet. D. To introduce cosmetic surgery. 4.What problem does TikTok have with the ban? A. Users might not like it. B. It’s hard to check how old users are. C. Users might misunderstand the rule. D. It doesn’t receive support from parents. Passage 3 （25-26高一上·陕西渭南杜桥中学·期中）The 2024 Paris Olympic Games concluded on Aug 11, showcasing the impressive talents of China’s Generation Z athletes across various sports. While they embodied the Olympic motto of “Faster, Higher, Stronger — Together”, there has been a shift in perspectives on winning as a recognition of the true essence of the Olympic spirit. Since the beginning of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, many exciting and unforgettable moments have been shared by athletes and audiences worldwide. We have cheered for victories and comforted those who fell short. But beyond the triumphs and defeats, there is something more to admire. On Aug 4, 21-year-old Zheng Qinwen made history for Chinese tennis by winning the first gold medal in women’s singles for both China and Asia. Just the following day, the young Chinese swimming team ended the US’s decades long unbeaten period in the men’s 4x100m relay, finishing in 3 minutes and 27. 46 seconds. By winning gold medals in events once dominated by Western athletes, these young competitors have demonstrated a remarkable improvement in China’s competitive sports landscape. Equally inspiring is the positive mindset exhibited by these young athletes. They are confident and inclusive, striving for excellence and breakthrough performances. Moreover, they have moved away from the “gold medal only” mentality, embracing a more composed and rational (理性的) approach to sports. From 18-year-old BMX freestyle cyclist Deng Yawen to 26-year-old swimmer Zhang Yufei, many young athletes have attracted global audiences with their self-assured approach to competition. They genuinely enjoy competing. When Zhang, China’s “butterfly queen”, missed out on a gold medal, she said, “I hope this time I can have a relaxed attitude and really enjoy the Olympics.” This shift in mindset and demeanor has moved the public focus away from just winning gold medals to appreciating the respect and glory that athletes and the Olympics truly deserve. Success is the goal, but they remain equally graceful in the face of failure, embodying the deep integration of Chinese values with the Olympic spirit. It’s not just about being faster, higher, stronger, but also about embracing sports with a positive attitude. 1.What does the underlined phrase mean in paragraph 2? A. Fell behind. B. Made outstanding advances. C. Attained success. D. Failed to meet expectations. 2.The 2024 Paris Olympic Games is inspiring, except _________. A.

To praise athletes’ relaxed mindset in Paris Olympic Games. C. To prove athletes’ good performance in Paris Olympic Games. D. To show Zhang’s regret for losing a gold medal in Paris Olympic Games. 4.What is the main idea of the passage? A. Chinese athletes achieved great success in Paris Olympic Games. B. Chinese athletes embraced Olympic Games with a positive attitude. C. Chinese athletes displayed impressive talents in Paris Olympic Games. D. Chinese athletes embodied the Olympic motto in Paris Olympic Games. Passage 4 （25-26高一上·山西大学附属中学·期中）At age 15, Zhao Yicheng has taken the speed climbing community by storm following his two stunning climbs of 4.68 and 4.65 seconds — unofficially faster than US athlete Sam Watson’s 4.74-second world record set at last year’s Paris Olympics. Zhao’s record-breaking moment happened during a trial event for China’s national team on March 26. Since the event was not approved by the International Federation of Sport Climbing (IFSC), his achievement was not officially recognized. Nevertheless, evidently Zhao has emerged as one of China’s most promising speed climbers. Born in 2009 in Suzhou, Zhao’s journey with speed climbing began at age 5, when a friend dragged him to a climbing gym. What started as a weekly hobby soon occupied his weekends. By 9, he had already won medals at multiple youth events. After winning the 2023 IFSC Youth World Championships in Seoul, South Korea, Zhao had to choose between school and sports. At that time, he was a top middle school student, but he chose to dedicate four to eight years to speed climbing to see how far he could go. In September 2023, Zhao joined the Shanghai speed climbing team. During the 2023-24 winter camp, his times improved from 5.4 seconds to 4.99, reaching the “sub-five” milestone. He kept that strong momentum in the 2024 season, clocking 4.93 seconds to win the national speed climbing championships in September. Zhao credits his quick progress to scientific training and active thinking. After his first winter training camp with the national team, he emerged transformed. “The team’s environment pushed me to train smarter. The nation’s best climbers are here, and every session demands your absolute best,” said Zhao. Between training sessions, Zhao reads history books, sci-fi stories, and a biography of basketball legend Kobe Bryant. When he can’t sleep, he watches climbing videos to study others’ movements. “Climbing isn’t just physical. It’s a mental game. Without active thinking, you can’t reach the top level in any sport,” Zhao said. For now, age rules stop Zhao from competing in international events, but he sees the delay as an opportunity to improve his performance. “Next year, I’ll compete internationally in peak form to strive for honor for my country,” he told Xinhua. 1.Why were Zhao Yicheng’s record-breaking climbs not officially recognized? A. Because the event was not officially admitted by the IFSC. B. Because he was too young to qualify for world records. C. Because his times were slower than Sam Watson’s record. D. Because he competed in a national championship instead. 2.What can be inferred about Zhao’s decision to focus on speed climbing over school? A. He wanted to break records immediately. B. He focused on his passion despite being a top student. C. His family pressured him to pursue sports professionally. D. He struggled academically and needed an alternative path. 3.According to Zhao, what contributed to his rapid improvement in speed climbing? A. Natural talent. B. Support from his school teachers. C. International competition experience. D. Well-organized training and mental discipline. 4.Which of the following can best describe Zhao Yicheng? A. Hardworking and ambitious. B. Patient and creative. C. Talented and selfless. D. Brave and strong-willed. 主题语境02 人与社会-科学与技术 （25-26高一上·陕西商洛山阳中学·期中）While facial recognition technology continues to promote many aspects of human life, it’s now being applied to aid the protection of giant pandas, Xinhua News Agency reported recently. A nature reserve has built an AI-enabled video monitoring system to better protect giant pandas. Installed with 300 infrared (红外线) cameras, the monitoring system helps ensure the health and safety of 110 wild giant pandas there. It was put into operation two years ago, and has captured numerous photos and videos of pandas engaged in activities such as eating, resting and fighting for mates. It provides scientific data to help us grasp pandas’ living conditions and establish conservation strategies. More importantly, it achieves real-time monitoring of the reserve so that we can discern the threats to the wildlife as early as possible. A recent study found the facial recognition system can automatically recognize various wild animals caught in infrared cameras, allowing researchers to collect data on giant pandas while staying indoors. It’s shown that by equipping the AI-aided system to retain the filed photos of giant pandas, we obtain a 98% success rate for species recognition. Its success rate of recognizing other wild animals can top 80%. In 2021 alone, this monitoring system captured 2,896 photos of giant pandas and other rare animals and filmed 3,218 seconds of footage, showcasing the reserve’s sound ecological environment as well as a gradual rise in panda population there. Head of the reserve’s administration, Liu Xingming, said researchers used the system not only to observe the dynamics and health of the giant panda population but also to learn about changes in the natural surroundings of their habitat. “The monitoring system has enabled systematic, scientific, and intelligent conservation of wildlife,” he added. “However, it is expected to be further improved and optimized in the near future.” 1.What does the underlined word “discern” mean in paragraph 2? A. Solve. B. Pose. C. Reduce. D. Detect. 2.What can be learned about the new technology from the study? A. It precisely recognizes any species. B. It makes panda population rise rapidly. C. It contributes to species data collection. D. It understands pandas’ facial expressions. 3.Which can be inferred from what Liu Xingming said? A. The giant panda population is healthier. B. The system hasn’t solved all problems. C. The system has no need to be improved. D. The giant panda’s habitat has changed. 4.Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. Panda Facial Recognition Collecting and Using Database B. Functions of AI-enabled Facial Recognition Technology C. AI-aided Monitoring System for Better Panda Protection D. A Breakthrough in Video Monitoring System 主题语境03 人与自然-灾害防范 （25-26高一上·陕西榆林神木中学·期中）As wildfires spread across Los Angeles, the J. Paul Getty Museum proved its strong disaster readiness. With fire within six feet of the Getty Villa on January 7, the museum’s strong protective measures became a great example of strength to hold on. The Getty Museum’s workers took turns working day and night and checked the hilltops surrounding both the Getty Villa and the Getty Center. The older Getty Villa, home to thousands of old and valuable objects, is located in the Pacific Palisades, while the Getty Center in Brentwood houses famous artworks like Vincent van Gogh’s Irises. Carrying with fire extinguishers (灭火器), the workers checked the grounds for fire, carefully protecting the museum’s valuable collections. The museum’s survival against the fires was unusual among the deadly damage that killed dozens and destroyed thousands of homes. With $9.1 billion and years of experience in fighting wildfires, the Getty had used millions in ways to stop fires, like fire-resistant (防火的) architecture. When the fire endangered the Getty Villa, President Katherine Fleming watched anxiously from the Getty Center’s command station, tracking the fire’s progress. The villa, built with walls and roofs that don’t burn easily, remained unharmed though the fire was very close. The same was true for its priceless collection of 40,000 valuable objects. Meanwhile, the Getty Center’s architecture, designed by Richard Meier with keeping safe in fire in mind, features 1.2 million square feet of stone and open spaces to stop fire from spreading. The museum’s complex irrigation (灌溉) system was started quickly, wetting the grounds and further protecting the treasures. In the case of Getty, planning ahead protected its treasures. Such preparedness — from fire-resistant designs to quick-response systems — sets a model. In the future, as more disasters driven by the climate emergency must happen, the attention of normal people is important: public awareness and support for such protective measures will become increasingly important. 1.What is the main idea of paragraph 2? A. Locations of the Getty Museum sites. B. Valuable collections at the Getty Villa. C. Daily training and duties of the museum. D. Fire prevention efforts by museum workers. 2.Why did the Getty Villa survive the fire? A. It was far from the fire area. B. Its structure resisted fire well. C. All artworks were taken away. D. Workers put out the fire quickly. 3.What does the author want to imply in the last paragraph? A. Climate change is a big danger now. B. The Getty’s success is hard to copy. C. Museums should avoid dangerous areas. D. Early planning helps deal with disasters. 4.What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Getty’s Preparation Beats Wildfires. B. LA Fires Destroy Museums. C. Van Gogh’s Art Saves Getty. D. Cheap Designs Stop Fires. 主题语境01 人与社会-中国文化 （25-26高一上·宁夏银川市金凤区六盘山高级中学·期中）Born into a family of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners (从业者), 26-year-old Ismail Daurov from Kazakhstan has wanted to follow in his father’s and grandfather’s footsteps and become a practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) since he was a child. So when a TCM clinic (诊所) that was jointly built by local and Chinese health workers officially opened about a year ago in Astana, capital of Kazakhstan, Daurov jumped at the opportunity to work there. “Many Kazakh patients had already looked for other means—even traveling to other countries- to find treatment for their diseases before visiting us, and they were amazed at the immediate results of TCM therapies (疗法) such as acupuncture, cupping and massage, Daurov said. Li Honggang, a hospital manager from the Xi’an TCM Hospital, working alongside with Daurov, said that because of the country’s cold, windy climate and a traditional diet heavy in beef and lamb, a large number of patients suffer from diseases like high blood pressure, high cholesterol, lower back and leg pain. TCM treatments can play a perfect role in treating these diseases. “Despite the language barrier (障碍), local patients give us a thumbs-up to express their thanks,” Li said. “Moreover, sometimes we ask them how they learned about the clinic, and many of them say through word of mouth.” “I am deeply moved by the interest of Kazakh people in TCM,” said Daurov. As for the, future, Daurov hopes more TCM experts from China will come to share their knowledge and experience with Kazakh people, helping build more TCM clinics and expand their services in Kazakshstan. “I want to be a bridge between TCM and Kazakhstan,” he says. “I want to help my people understand and appreciate this ancient wisdom so that they can live healthier and happier lives. 1.Why did Daurov decide to be a TCM doctor? A. He was inspired by his family. B. He got advantages from it as a patient. C. He wanted to save money for patients. D. He was trained in it at university. 2.What causes the locals’ diseases according to Li Honggang? A. Heavy work. B. Poor life. C. Eating habits. D. Lack of knowledge. 3.Which word can best describe the TCM clinic in Astana? A. High-priced. B. Tough. C. Low-quality. D. Popular. 4.What is Daurov’s expectation of TCM in Kazakhstan? A. It will become affordable. B. It can be used on animals. C. It can benefit more people. D.

Surprisingly, the ad caused heated criticism, leading Google to remove it a week after its release. The advertisement showed a father using Google’s Gemini AI chatbot to help his daughter write a fan letter to US Olympic track star Sydney Maclaughlin-Levrone. In the advertisement, the father believes AI will do a better job than himself, “She wants to show Sydney some love and I am pretty good with words. But this has to be just right.” However, this idea didn’t win other viewers. “This description of the advertisement is misleading. As it overestimates AI’s ability to understand and convey nuances (细微差别) of human emotions and thoughts.” wrote Shelly Palmer, a media professor at Syracuse University in the US, in a blog post. “Who wants an AI-written fan letter?” one viewer added. Viewers also expressed concern that too much reliance (依赖) on AI tools could ruin children’s learning opportunities. “Instead of guiding her to use her own words and communicate authentically (真正地), the father is teaching her to rely on AI for this critical human skill.” said Palmer. Palmer stressed that our use of language deeply shapes our reality. For example, you or I might refer to a color as “red”, but that same color might be labeled “scarlet” by an artist or “dark rose” by a designer. Language not only communicates information but also reflects the speaker’s unique perspective. Google seems to suggest that this young girl doesn’t need to develop her own ability to express and shape her reality, according to Palmer. The use of generative AI also lacks the emotional depth that comes from personal expression. Palmer once received a message from a reader years ago that read: “You’re too stupid to own a smartphone.” He loved this humorously sarcastic (讽刺的) email so much that he had it hung on his office wall. “It was honest, direct and probably accurate,” he said, “Give me a heartfelt message rather than a grammatically correct, AI generated message any day.” 1.What is the main idea of the passage? A. Google’s Olympic-themed advertisement for Gemini AI chatbot received criticism. B. Google’s Gemini AI chatbot was very popular during the 2024 Paris Olympic Games. C. AI-written fan letters are better than those written by humans. D. People should rely more on AI tools. 2.According to the passage, why did viewers criticize the advertisement? A. Because it showed a father who was not good with words. B. Because it underestimated AI’s ability to understand human emotions. C. Because it overestimated AI’s ability to convey nuances of human emotions and thoughts. D. Because it encouraged children to use smartphones too much. 3.What does the underlined word “perspective” in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Experience. B. Achievement. C. Viewpoint. D. Target. 4.What is Shelly Palmer’s attitude towards AI-generated messages? A. Positive. B. Negative. C. Neutral. D. Indifferent. 主题语境03 人与自我-生活与学习 （25-26高一上·青海西宁第二中学·期中）What would you do to earn money if all you had was five dollars and two hours? This is the assignment (任务) I gave students in my very first course at the Stanford School. What would you do if you were given this challenge? When I asked this question to most groups, someone usually shouted out “Go to Las Vegas” or “Buy a lottery ticket”. This got a big laugh. These folks would take a significant risk in return for a small chance of earning a big reward. The next most common suggestion was to set up a car wash or lemonade stand, using the five dollars to purchase starting materials. This was a fine option for anyone interested in earning a few extra dollars of spending money in two hours. But most of the students eventually found a way to move far beyond the standard responses. They took seriously the challenge to question traditional assumptions, exposing a wealth of possibilities, in order to create as much value as possible. How did they do this? Here’s a clue: The teams that made the most money didn’t use the five dollars at all. They realized that focusing on the money actually framed the problem too tightly. They understood that five dollars is nearly nothing and decided to reinterpret (重新解读) the problem more broadly: What can you do to make money if you start with nothing? I count the Five-Dollar Challenge as a success in teaching students about thinking like an entrepreneur (企业家). In fact, they tapped into their talents and unlocked their creativity to identify problems — problems that they experienced or noticed others experiencing, or that they might have seen before but had never thought to solve. By discovering these problems and then working to solve them, the winning team brought in more than six hundred dollars, and the average rate of return on the five-dollar investment was 4 000 percent! If you take into account that many of the teams didn’t use the funds at all, then their financial returns were infinite (极大的). 1.What can we infer about the students who put forward the second most common suggestion? A. They are creative. B. They are practical. C. They like taking chances. D. They like trying new things. 2.What’s the author’s suggestion about his assignment? A. Ignoring the money. B. Getting some support. C. Raising more money. D. Asking for some advice. 3.How much did the students make with the five-dollar investment on average? A. 100 dollars. B. 200 dollars. C. 400 dollars. D. 600 dollars. 4.What’s the purpose of the author assignment for his students? A. To turn them into entrepreneurs. B. To help them make more money. C. To encourage them to think creatively. D. To create some opportunities for them. / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $函学科网 www.zxxk.com 让教与学更高效 专题04阅读理解（新闻报道+其他） 基础必练 主题语境01人与社会-文学、艺术与体育 【答案】1.C2.D3.A4B 主题语境02人与社会-科学与技术 【答案】1.A2.C3.B4.D 主题语境03人与自我-生活与学习 Passage 1 【答案】1.A2.B3.C4.B Passage 2 【答案】1.A2.B3.D4.C 进阶提升) 主题语境01人与社会-历史、社会与文化 Passage 1 【答案】1.B2.D3.A4.C Passage 2 【答案】1.C2.B3.A4.B Passage 3 【答案】1.D2.A3.B4.B Passage 4 【答案】1.A2.B3.D4.A 1/2 西学科网 www.zxxk.com 让教与学更高效 主题语境02人与社会-科学与技术 【答案】1.D2.C3.B4.C 主题语境03人与自然-灾害防范 【答案】1.D2.B3.D4.A 拓展培优) 主题语境01人与社会-中国文化 【答案】1.A2.C3.D4.C 主题语境02人与社会-科学与技术 【答案】1.A2.C3.C4.B 主题语境03人与自我-生活与学习 【答案】1.B2.A3.B4.C 212 专题04 阅读理解（新闻报道+其他） 主题语境01 人与社会-文学、艺术与体育 （25-26高一上·陕西渭南杜桥中学·期中）Mathea Allansmith isn’t your typical grandmother, and she’s the oldest woman in the world to have completed a marathon. She was 92 years 194 days old when she triumphantly crossed the finish line at the 2022 Honolulu Marathon, setting up the record for the oldest person to complete a marathon (female). Mathea, now 93, of Koloa, Hawaii, USA, stays in shape all year round by running six days a week, no matter the weather. Come rain or shine, she covered 36 miles every week, even when she’s on holiday. The retired doctor didn’t take up running until she was 46 years old. After a colleague suggested running two miles per day. “The Honolulu Marathon is my favourite marathon partly because they don’t close the gate at a certain time which allows even the slowest runners to finish the race,” she said. “It’s one of the best-executed races. Fantastic registration, set up and management makes it a joy to participate in. Mathea, who doesn’t allow her age to slow her down, says she is happiest when she’s on the road. She enjoys running for miles and waving and saying hello to the people she passes. To stay in shape, Mathea, who runs year around, keeps a steady training routine. “I train year-round but increase the mileage starting 18 weeks before a marathon,” she said. Mathea says it was her career as a physician that allowed her to understand how her body and mind respond to diet and exercise. “I see the direct connection between moving and health,” she said. It is important to reduce stress rather than ignoring it without a plan on how to do so in the long run. Of course, exercise of any kind is a natural stress reducer. ” Mathea intends to keep running marathons for as long as she can and would like to attempt the record titles for the oldest person to complete a half marathon (female) and the oldest person to complete a 10K (female) within the next year. 1.What does the underlined word “triumphantly” in the first paragraph mean? A. Absolutely. B. Literally. C. Successfully. D. Precisely. 2.Why does Mathea Allansmith like the Honolulu Marathon? A. It provides the most awards. B. It’s easy to break a world record. C. It has the strictest management. D. It has no time limit policy. 3.What contributes to her understanding the connection between moving and health? A. Her profession. B. Her hobbies. C. Her colleagues. D. Her family. 4.The last paragraph mainly talks about Mathea’s ________. A. achievements B. ambition C. independence D. adventurous life 【答案】1. C　2. D　3. A　4. B 【解析】【导语】 这是一篇新闻报道。文章主要介绍了日前吉尼斯世界纪录发布官方认证, 来自美国夏威夷科洛亚的92岁奶奶Mathea Allansmith成为世界上完成全程马拉松的最年长女性。 (1)题解析： 词句猜测题。根据划线单词所在句子的后半句话“setting up the record for the oldest person to complete a marathon (female) (创造完成马拉松比赛年龄最大的人（女性）的纪录)”可知，92岁的Mathea 成功的冲过了马拉松的终点线，打破了完成马拉松比赛最年长的人 (女性) 的记录。所以划线单词的意思为“成功地”。故选C。 (2)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第三段第一句话““The Honolulu Marathon is my favourite marathon partly because they don’t close the gate at a certain time which allows even the slowest runners to finish the race,” she said. (她说：“火奴鲁鲁(檀香山)马拉松是我最喜欢的马拉松比赛，部分原因是它们不会在特定时间关门，即使是最慢的选手也能完成比赛。”)”可知，Mathea Allansmith喜欢火奴鲁鲁（檀香山）马拉松的原因是它没有时间限制。故选D。 (3)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第五段第一句话“Mathea says it was her career as a physician that allowed her to understand how her body and mind respond to diet and exercise.(Mathea说，正是她的医生生涯让她了解了自己的身心对饮食和锻炼的反应)”可推知，正是她作为医生的职业生涯让Mathea理解运动与健康之间的联系。故选A。 (4)题解析： 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Mathea intends to keep running marathons for as long as she can and would like to attempt the record titles for the oldest person to complete a half marathon (female) and the oldest person to complete a 10K (female) within the next year.(Mathea打算尽可能长时间地继续跑马拉松，并希望在明年内打破最年长的人完成半程马拉松（女性）和最年长的10公里（女性）的纪录)”可知，本段主要介绍了Mathea的雄心壮志，她打算在明年内打破最年长的人完成半程马拉松（女性）和最年长的10公里（女性）的纪录。故选B。 主题语境02 人与社会-科学与技术 （25-26高一上·宁夏灵武第一中学·期中）After a long teaching day, I saw someone searching for a lost key between the seats on a crowded train. Strangely, my first thought was to ask ChatGPT. This surprised me and made me wonder: What did I think of AI? Could it really help? Since ChatGPT appeared, teachers have different views. At first, I found it very useful. It offered me lesson ideas and saved me time. Students used it to understand difficult topics and get writing tips. But I noticed problems. One student couldn’t remember facts ChatGPT gave him. Another used it to make his writing sound smarter, but lost his own style. Using AI for work meant students missed chances to improve their own ideas by revising. I told them: Use AI to help improve your writing, not to do it for you. I also started using pen and paper more for lesson planning. It was slower, but my ideas felt more real and truly mine. This reminded me that the process of thinking is often more important than just the final result. And as a result, I’d managed to think more clearly. In a world increasingly led by speed, I learned the best ideas often need time and focus. I’m not against AI, but I need to adjust (调节) its role in my life. My goal is to keep what’s important in teaching: curiosity, critical thinking, and solving problems without always taking shortcuts. I hope my students will, too. 1.What was the author’s first thought upon seeing someone looking for a key on the train? A. Turning to ChatGPT for help. B. Joining in the search for it. C. Turning a blind eye to it. D. Reporting it to the police. 2.Why does the author mention his students in paragraph 3? A. To tell them they are smart. B. To tell how AI helps them. C. To show the problems AI brings. D. To prove his teaching job successful. 3.What did the author think of planning his lessons by using pen and paper more? A. It wasted too much of his time. B. It was good for his thinking. C. It allowed him to get answers quickly. D. It led to losing good teaching methods. 4.What is the author’s attitude towards using AI? A. Carefree. B. Hopeless. C. Unclear. D. Careful. 【答案】1. A　2. C　3. B　4. D 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章主要讲作者作为老师对 AI工具 (如ChatGPT) 在教学实践中的应用和反思。 (1)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第一段“After a long teaching day, I saw someone searching for a lost key between the seats on a crowded train. Strangely, my first thought was to ask ChatGPT. This surprised me and made me wonder: What did I think of AI? Could it really help?(在漫长的一天教学结束后，我看到有人在拥挤的火车座位间寻找丢失的钥匙。奇怪的是，我首先想到的是向ChatGPT咨询。这让我感到惊讶，并让我思考：我对人工智能的看法是怎样的？它真的能有所帮助吗？)”可知，作者见到有人丢失钥匙的第一反应是想要询问ChatGPT。故选A。 (2)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第三段“But I noticed problems. One student couldn’t remember facts ChatGPT gave him. Another used it to make his writing sound smarter, but lost his own style.(但我发现了一些问题。有一位学生无法记住ChatGPT给他的信息。还有一位学生利用它来让自己的写作显得更有深度，但却丧失了原本的风格)”可知，本段提到学生是想说明使用AI带来的问题。故选C。 (3)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第四段“I also started using pen and paper more for lesson planning. It was slower, but my ideas felt more real and truly mine. This reminded me that the process of thinking is often more important than just the final result. And as a result, I’d managed to think more clearly.(我还开始更多地使用笔和纸来进行课程规划。这个过程比较慢，但我的想法感觉更加真实，也更属于我自己了。这让我意识到思考的过程往往比最终的结果更重要。因此，我得以更清晰地思考问题了)”可知，作者认为用纸和笔进行备课有利于思考。故选B。 (4)题解析： 推理判断题。根据最后一段“I’m not against AI, but I need to adjust (调节) its role in my life. My goal is to keep what’s important in teaching: curiosity, critical thinking, and solving problems without always taking shortcuts. (我不反对人工智能，但我需要调整它在我生活中的角色。我的目标是保持教学中重要的东西：好奇心、批判性思维和在解决问题时不要总想着走捷径)”可推断，作者对AI的使用持谨慎的态度。故选D。 主题语境03 人与自我-生活与学习 Passage 1 （25-26高一上·青海西宁第十四中学·期中）Churchlands SeniorHigh School (CSHS) has become part of the Blue Tree Project, a national movement that encourages people to be open about their struggles and aims to end the shame of mental (心理的) illness. Last week, excitement filled the air as students at CSHS picked up paintbrushes and turned one of the trees bright blue. Laughter mixed with serious conversations as they worked side by side. When a few drops of paint accidentally landed on shoes or clothes, no one minded — it only made the memory more special. Jess Hazeldine, 17, explained that painting the tree blue was more than just an activity. To her, it was a promise from students to face the issue (问题) of mental health. “It shows we, as students, are doing something about it,” she said. “It means a lot because we are taking an active role in fighting mental health problems among young people.” She added that painting the tree blue was also a way of showing that the students understood how serious the issue was, and that they were ready to work together as a school to address it. Acting junior school principal Lisa Campbell also shared her thoughts. She said the school would now be listed on the Blue Tree Project’s website, alongside many other schools and organizations across the country. “It shows that we are part of a larger community in this cause,” she added. Parent board member Genevieve McSporran agreed. She believed the blue tree would remain a lasting reminder. “It’s more than just one day of awareness — it will always be there,” she explained. She pointed out that the tree, visible to anyone passing by, helped build a stronger connection with the wider community. 1.What is the aim of the Blue Tree Project? A. To raise awareness of mental health. B. To encourage students to form a habit. C. To prepare for a community festival. D. To recognize the weakness of students. 2.What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 3 refer to? A. Attending school. B. Painting the tree blue. C. Drawing a picture. D. Following a schedule. 3.What is Genevieve’s attitude toward the activity? A. Doubtful. B. Worried. C. Supportive. D. Uncertain. 4.Where is this text probably taken from? A. A student’s book. B. A school website. C. A research paper. D. A travel magazine. 【答案】1. A　2. B　3. C　4. B 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要介绍了丘奇兰兹高中参与蓝树项目，通过将树涂成蓝色来提高对心理健康问题的认识并表明应对的决心这一事件。 (1)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第一段“Churchlands SeniorHigh School (CSHS) has become part of the Blue Tree Project, a national movement that encourages people to be open about their struggles and aims to end the shame of mental (心理的) illness.(丘奇兰兹高中（CSHS）已加入“蓝树项目”。这是一项全国性运动，既鼓励人们坦诚面对自身困境，也致力于消除心理健康疾病带来的羞耻感。)”可知，蓝树项目的目的是提高人们对心理健康的认识。故选A。 (2)题解析： 词句猜测题。根据第三段中“Jess Hazeldine, 17, explained that painting the tree blue was more than just an activity. To her, it was a promise from students to face the issue (问题) of mental health.(17岁的Jess Hazeldine解释说，把树涂成蓝色不仅仅是一项活动。对她来说，这是学生们面对心理健康问题的一个承诺。)”可知，it指代的是上文提到的“把树涂成蓝色”这件事。故选B。 (3)题解析： 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Parent board member Genevieve McSporran agreed. She believed the blue tree would remain a lasting reminder. “It’s more than just one day of awareness — it will always be there,” she explained.(家长董事会成员Genevieve McSporran表示赞同。她认为这棵蓝树将是一个持久的提醒。“这不仅仅是一天的倡导——它将永远存在，”她解释道。)”可知，Genevieve认为这棵蓝树将是一个持久的提醒，说明她对这次活动是支持的。故选C。 (4)题解析： 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是根据第一段“Churchlands SeniorHigh School (CSHS) has become part of the Blue Tree Project, a national movement that encourages people to be open about their struggles and aims to end the shame of mental (心理的) illness.(丘奇兰兹高中（CSHS）已加入“蓝树项目”。这是一项全国性运动，既鼓励人们坦诚面对自身困境，也致力于消除心理健康疾病带来的羞耻感。)”可知，文章主要报道了丘奇兰兹高中参与蓝树项目的情况，这很可能是从学校网站获取的信息。故选B。 Passage 2 （25-26高一上·宁夏吴忠盐池中学·期中）When you think about your relationship with your parents, how would you describe it? Are you satisfied with it, or would you wish for something more? For many, the relationship with their parents is not perfect, and it may even feel distant (疏远的). I once hoped that my parents would be my best friends—people I could talk to openly, share my thoughts with, and have meaningful discussions with. However, the reality was very different. Our relationship was often filled with shouting and misunderstandings. We hardly had calm, meaningful conversations. Instead, there were months when we didn’t talk at all because there was nothing to say. For many years, from my teenage years to my late twenties, this was my reality. But things began to change when I decided to make an effort (努力) to improve the relationship. Now, at 30, my relationship with my parents has improved greatly. We communicate openly, without anger, and show concern for each other in a way that feels natural. Improving the relationship with your parents takes time. It is not a quick fix. When I first started, my efforts and apology(道歉) seemed pointless. For example, when I tried to hold my mom into my arms, she pushed me away. My dad didn’t give me a love sign. But I didn’t give up. I realized that improving a relationship is not about fixing a single argument; it’s about repairing years of misunderstandings and miscommunications. To truly improve your relationship with your parents, understand that it’s a long journey. It will not happen overnight, and you may not see results immediately. In my case, it took years of efforts. I had to show my parents that I had changed, not through words, but through actions. They slowly began to react (做出回应), but the process was slow and required patience. So, if you’re facing problems with your parents, remember that it’s normal. Start by seeing the situation as a long journey. It may not be easy, but if you keep trying and give it time, your relationship can get better. Be patient and stick to the process. 1.What was the author’s early relationship with her parents like? A. Terrible. B. Peaceful. C. Special. D. Close. 2.How did the author’s parents first react to her efforts? A. They accepted them warmly. B. They paid little attention to them. C. They were surprised and moved. D. They apologized for their misunderstandings. 3.What may the author consider most important in improving the parent-child relationship? A. Making apologies. B. Open conversations. C. Understanding each other. D. Long-term efforts and patience. 4.Why does the author write the text? A. To look back on the past. B. To give thanks to her parents. C. To offer suggestions to others. D. To describe a common social problem. 【答案】1. A　2. B　3. D　4. C 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇夹叙夹议文，讲述了作者曾与父母关系紧张，充满争吵与隔阂，后通过长期持续努力，逐步改善了亲子关系，通过这件事，作者建议面临类似问题的读者以耐心和坚持应对。 (1)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第二段的“Our relationship was often filled with shouting and misunderstandings. We hardly had calm, meaningful conversations. Instead, there were months when we didn’t talk at all because there was nothing to say.(我们的关系常常充斥着争吵和误解。我们几乎没有进行过平和且有意义的交流。相反，有好几个月我们甚至完全不说话，因为根本没有什么可说的了)”可知，作者早年与父母的关系充满争吵、误解，甚至长期不沟通，这是糟糕的。故选A。 (2)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第四段的“When I first started, my efforts and apology(道歉) seemed pointless. For example, when I tried to hold my mom into my arms, she pushed me away. My dad didn’t give me a love sign.(刚开始的时候，我的努力和道歉似乎都毫无意义。比如，当我试图把妈妈抱进怀里时，她却把我推开。而我的父亲也没有给我任何爱的暗示)”可知，作者最初努力改善关系时，父母对她的努力不重视。故选B。 (3)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第五段的“In my case, it took years of efforts. I had to show my parents that I had changed, not through words, but through actions.(就我而言，这需要多年的努力。我必须向父母证明我已经有所改变，不是通过言语，而是通过实际行动来体现)”及最后一段“Start by seeing the situation as a long journey. It may not be easy, but if you keep trying and give it time, your relationship can get better. Be patient and stick to the process.(首先将这种状况视为一段漫长的旅程。这或许并不容易，但只要你坚持不懈并给予足够的时间，你们的关系是能够得到改善的。要保持耐心，坚持下去)”可知，作者认为，改善亲子关系的关键在于持续采取行动，并且要有持久的耐心。故选D。 (4)题解析： 推理判断题。根据全文内容可知，首先，作者提出多数人与父母的关系并非完美这一普遍情况；接着分享了自己的经历；最后，作者以此为据，建议面临亲子关系问题的人：这类问题很正常，改善关系是长期过程，需保持耐心、坚持努力，才能让关系变得更好。由此可推知，作者写这篇文章的主要目的是提供关于亲子关系的建议。故选C。 主题语境01 人与社会-历史、社会与文化 Passage 1 （25-26高一上·陕西宝鸡陈仓区虢镇中学·期中）Born in a small town, Zheng Tao lost both of his arms in an accident when he was just six years old.

The filters allow users to edit photos and do things like making people’s skin look clearer, their eyes a little bigger or their lips a little fuller. Some filters also allow users to change their skin colour, and it can be hard to see when a photograph has been edited in this way. People under the age of 18 will be blocked from using these filters. Some of them are created by users and others are made by the app. TikTok posted the changes after a report by Internet matters, a children’s online safety organisation. The organisation found that these beauty filters could be harmful to children’s mental health because they put young people under pressure to look a certain way. This can harm children’s self-esteem (自尊) and cause worry, experts say. Christine Grahm from TikTok said on LinkedIn, “If our users don’t feel safe, they won’t bring their true selves to TikTok and the platform just wouldn’t be the same.” One TikTok user told The Guardian in 2022 that she had considered getting cosmetic surgery (美容手术) after a period of using beauty filters on the app. Fun filters that allow children to add dog noses or rabbit ears to images will still be OK to use. One problem with the ban (禁令) is that not all users enter their real ages when signing up to TikTok. The company said it would soon be trying out new machine learning systems that could help find out when users had entered the incorrect age, but it is under pressure to stop under 13s from using the platform by giving untrue dates of birth. Children’s safety organisations want all social media sites to do more to make the platforms safe spaces for young people. 1.What will TikTok do about certain beauty filters for young users? A. Test their safety. B. Post their advantages. C. Ban the use of them. D. Increase their users. 2.What is the influence of the beauty filters? A. It encourages creativity. B. It makes children worried. C. It develops self-esteem. D. It stops children from communicating. 3.Why is Christine Grahm mentioned in Paragraph 4? A. To show the harm of beauty filters. B. To make readers more interested. C. To warn children to stay away from Internet. D. To introduce cosmetic surgery. 4.What problem does TikTok have with the ban? A. Users might not like it. B. It’s hard to check how old users are. C. Users might misunderstand the rule. D. It doesn’t receive support from parents. 【答案】1. C　2. B　3. A　4. B 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了TikTok将禁止18岁以下用户使用部分美颜滤镜，以及该举措的背景、原因和面临的问题。 (1)题解析： 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“TikTok has reported it will block young users on the social networking platform from using certain beauty filters (滤镜) on photographs.(TikTok已宣布，将禁止该社交平台上的年轻用户在照片中使用特定美颜滤镜。)”以及第三段“People under the age of 18 will be blocked from using these filters.(18岁以下人群将被禁止使用这些滤镜。)”可知，TikTok将禁止年轻用户使用特定美颜滤镜。故选C。 (2)题解析： 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“The organisation found that these beauty filters could be harmful to children’s mental health because they put young people under pressure to look a certain way. This can harm children’s self-esteem (自尊) and cause worry, experts say.(该组织发现，这些美颜滤镜可能对儿童的心理健康造成危害，因为它们会给年轻人带来必须长成某种样子的压力。专家表示，这会损害儿童的自尊，引发焦虑情绪。)”可知，美颜滤镜会给年轻人带来压力，损害他们的自尊并引发焦虑。故选B。 (3)题解析： 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“Christine Grahm from TikTok said on LinkedIn, “If our users don’t feel safe, they won’t bring their true selves to TikTok and the platform just wouldn’t be the same.” One TikTok user told The Guardian in 2022 that she had considered getting cosmetic surgery (美容手术) after a period of using beauty filters on the app.(TikTok的Christine Grahm在LinkedIn上表示：“如果我们的用户感到不安全，他们就不会在TikTok上展现真实的自我，这个平台也将不复以往。”2022年，一位TikTok用户向《卫报》透露，在长期使用该应用的美颜滤镜后，她曾考虑过接受美容手术。)”可知，Christine Graham作为TikTok的相关人士，他认为如果用户感到不安全，就不会在TikTok上展现真实的自我，结合前文提到的美颜滤镜对儿童心理健康的危害，以及后文用户因使用滤镜考虑美容手术的案例，本质是为了佐证美颜滤镜的负面影响。故选A。 (4)题解析： 细节理解题。根据文章第五段“One problem with the ban (禁令) is that not all users enter their real ages when signing up to TikTok.(这项禁令存在一个问题：并非所有用户在注册TikTok时都会填写真实年龄。)”可知，这项禁令面临的问题是用户注册时可能不填写真实年龄，导致TikTok难以核实用户实际年龄。故选B。 Passage 3 （25-26高一上·陕西渭南杜桥中学·期中）The 2024 Paris Olympic Games concluded on Aug 11, showcasing the impressive talents of China’s Generation Z athletes across various sports. While they embodied the Olympic motto of “Faster, Higher, Stronger — Together”, there has been a shift in perspectives on winning as a recognition of the true essence of the Olympic spirit. Since the beginning of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, many exciting and unforgettable moments have been shared by athletes and audiences worldwide. We have cheered for victories and comforted those who fell short. But beyond the triumphs and defeats, there is something more to admire. On Aug 4, 21-year-old Zheng Qinwen made history for Chinese tennis by winning the first gold medal in women’s singles for both China and Asia. Just the following day, the young Chinese swimming team ended the US’s decades long unbeaten period in the men’s 4x100m relay, finishing in 3 minutes and 27. 46 seconds. By winning gold medals in events once dominated by Western athletes, these young competitors have demonstrated a remarkable improvement in China’s competitive sports landscape. Equally inspiring is the positive mindset exhibited by these young athletes. They are confident and inclusive, striving for excellence and breakthrough performances. Moreover, they have moved away from the “gold medal only” mentality, embracing a more composed and rational (理性的) approach to sports. From 18-year-old BMX freestyle cyclist Deng Yawen to 26-year-old swimmer Zhang Yufei, many young athletes have attracted global audiences with their self-assured approach to competition. They genuinely enjoy competing. When Zhang, China’s “butterfly queen”, missed out on a gold medal, she said, “I hope this time I can have a relaxed attitude and really enjoy the Olympics.” This shift in mindset and demeanor has moved the public focus away from just winning gold medals to appreciating the respect and glory that athletes and the Olympics truly deserve. Success is the goal, but they remain equally graceful in the face of failure, embodying the deep integration of Chinese values with the Olympic spirit. It’s not just about being faster, higher, stronger, but also about embracing sports with a positive attitude. 1.What does the underlined phrase mean in paragraph 2? A. Fell behind. B.

Zhao’s record-breaking moment happened during a trial event for China’s national team on March 26. Since the event was not approved by the International Federation of Sport Climbing (IFSC), his achievement was not officially recognized. Nevertheless, evidently Zhao has emerged as one of China’s most promising speed climbers. Born in 2009 in Suzhou, Zhao’s journey with speed climbing began at age 5, when a friend dragged him to a climbing gym. What started as a weekly hobby soon occupied his weekends. By 9, he had already won medals at multiple youth events. After winning the 2023 IFSC Youth World Championships in Seoul, South Korea, Zhao had to choose between school and sports. At that time, he was a top middle school student, but he chose to dedicate four to eight years to speed climbing to see how far he could go. In September 2023, Zhao joined the Shanghai speed climbing team. During the 2023-24 winter camp, his times improved from 5.4 seconds to 4.99, reaching the “sub-five” milestone. He kept that strong momentum in the 2024 season, clocking 4.93 seconds to win the national speed climbing championships in September. Zhao credits his quick progress to scientific training and active thinking. After his first winter training camp with the national team, he emerged transformed. “The team’s environment pushed me to train smarter. The nation’s best climbers are here, and every session demands your absolute best,” said Zhao. Between training sessions, Zhao reads history books, sci-fi stories, and a biography of basketball legend Kobe Bryant. When he can’t sleep, he watches climbing videos to study others’ movements. “Climbing isn’t just physical. It’s a mental game. Without active thinking, you can’t reach the top level in any sport,” Zhao said. For now, age rules stop Zhao from competing in international events, but he sees the delay as an opportunity to improve his performance. “Next year, I’ll compete internationally in peak form to strive for honor for my country,” he told Xinhua. 1.Why were Zhao Yicheng’s record-breaking climbs not officially recognized? A. Because the event was not officially admitted by the IFSC. B. Because he was too young to qualify for world records. C. Because his times were slower than Sam Watson’s record. D. Because he competed in a national championship instead. 2.What can be inferred about Zhao’s decision to focus on speed climbing over school? A. He wanted to break records immediately. B. He focused on his passion despite being a top student. C. His family pressured him to pursue sports professionally. D. He struggled academically and needed an alternative path. 3.According to Zhao, what contributed to his rapid improvement in speed climbing? A. Natural talent. B. Support from his school teachers. C. International competition experience. D. Well-organized training and mental discipline. 4.Which of the following can best describe Zhao Yicheng? A. Hardworking and ambitious. B. Patient and creative. C. Talented and selfless. D. Brave and strong-willed. 【答案】1. A　2. B　3. D　4. A 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇新闻报道。文章报道了15岁的中国速度攀岩新星赵一程以非官方成绩打破世界纪录，展现了他的天赋、科学训练及对攀岩的热爱与决心。 (1)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Since the event was not approved by the International Federation of Sport Climbing (IFSC), his achievement was not officially recognized.

A nature reserve has built an AI-enabled video monitoring system to better protect giant pandas. Installed with 300 infrared (红外线) cameras, the monitoring system helps ensure the health and safety of 110 wild giant pandas there. It was put into operation two years ago, and has captured numerous photos and videos of pandas engaged in activities such as eating, resting and fighting for mates. It provides scientific data to help us grasp pandas’ living conditions and establish conservation strategies. More importantly, it achieves real-time monitoring of the reserve so that we can discern the threats to the wildlife as early as possible. A recent study found the facial recognition system can automatically recognize various wild animals caught in infrared cameras, allowing researchers to collect data on giant pandas while staying indoors. It’s shown that by equipping the AI-aided system to retain the filed photos of giant pandas, we obtain a 98% success rate for species recognition. Its success rate of recognizing other wild animals can top 80%. In 2021 alone, this monitoring system captured 2,896 photos of giant pandas and other rare animals and filmed 3,218 seconds of footage, showcasing the reserve’s sound ecological environment as well as a gradual rise in panda population there. Head of the reserve’s administration, Liu Xingming, said researchers used the system not only to observe the dynamics and health of the giant panda population but also to learn about changes in the natural surroundings of their habitat. “The monitoring system has enabled systematic, scientific, and intelligent conservation of wildlife,” he added. “However, it is expected to be further improved and optimized in the near future.” 1.What does the underlined word “discern” mean in paragraph 2? A. Solve. B. Pose. C. Reduce. D. Detect. 2.What can be learned about the new technology from the study? A. It precisely recognizes any species. B. It makes panda population rise rapidly. C.

Paul Getty Museum proved its strong disaster readiness. With fire within six feet of the Getty Villa on January 7, the museum’s strong protective measures became a great example of strength to hold on. The Getty Museum’s workers took turns working day and night and checked the hilltops surrounding both the Getty Villa and the Getty Center. The older Getty Villa, home to thousands of old and valuable objects, is located in the Pacific Palisades, while the Getty Center in Brentwood houses famous artworks like Vincent van Gogh’s Irises. Carrying with fire extinguishers (灭火器), the workers checked the grounds for fire, carefully protecting the museum’s valuable collections. The museum’s survival against the fires was unusual among the deadly damage that killed dozens and destroyed thousands of homes. With $9.1 billion and years of experience in fighting wildfires, the Getty had used millions in ways to stop fires, like fire-resistant (防火的) architecture. When the fire endangered the Getty Villa, President Katherine Fleming watched anxiously from the Getty Center’s command station, tracking the fire’s progress. The villa, built with walls and roofs that don’t burn easily, remained unharmed though the fire was very close. The same was true for its priceless collection of 40,000 valuable objects. Meanwhile, the Getty Center’s architecture, designed by Richard Meier with keeping safe in fire in mind, features 1.2 million square feet of stone and open spaces to stop fire from spreading. The museum’s complex irrigation (灌溉) system was started quickly, wetting the grounds and further protecting the treasures. In the case of Getty, planning ahead protected its treasures. Such preparedness — from fire-resistant designs to quick-response systems — sets a model. In the future, as more disasters driven by the climate emergency must happen, the attention of normal people is important: public awareness and support for such protective measures will become increasingly important. 1.What is the main idea of paragraph 2? A. Locations of the Getty Museum sites. B. Valuable collections at the Getty Villa. C. Daily training and duties of the museum. D. Fire prevention efforts by museum workers. 2.Why did the Getty Villa survive the fire? A. It was far from the fire area. B. Its structure resisted fire well. C. All artworks were taken away. D. Workers put out the fire quickly. 3.What does the author want to imply in the last paragraph? A. Climate change is a big danger now. B. The Getty’s success is hard to copy. C. Museums should avoid dangerous areas. D. Early planning helps deal with disasters. 4.What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Getty’s Preparation Beats Wildfires. B. LA Fires Destroy Museums. C. Van Gogh’s Art Saves Getty. D. Cheap Designs Stop Fires. 【答案】1. D　2. B　3. D　4.

Surprisingly, the ad caused heated criticism, leading Google to remove it a week after its release. The advertisement showed a father using Google’s Gemini AI chatbot to help his daughter write a fan letter to US Olympic track star Sydney Maclaughlin-Levrone. In the advertisement, the father believes AI will do a better job than himself, “She wants to show Sydney some love and I am pretty good with words. But this has to be just right.” However, this idea didn’t win other viewers. “This description of the advertisement is misleading. As it overestimates AI’s ability to understand and convey nuances (细微差别) of human emotions and thoughts.” wrote Shelly Palmer, a media professor at Syracuse University in the US, in a blog post. “Who wants an AI-written fan letter?” one viewer added. Viewers also expressed concern that too much reliance (依赖) on AI tools could ruin children’s learning opportunities. “Instead of guiding her to use her own words and communicate authentically (真正地), the father is teaching her to rely on AI for this critical human skill.” said Palmer. Palmer stressed that our use of language deeply shapes our reality. For example, you or I might refer to a color as “red”, but that same color might be labeled “scarlet” by an artist or “dark rose” by a designer. Language not only communicates information but also reflects the speaker’s unique perspective. Google seems to suggest that this young girl doesn’t need to develop her own ability to express and shape her reality, according to Palmer. The use of generative AI also lacks the emotional depth that comes from personal expression. Palmer once received a message from a reader years ago that read: “You’re too stupid to own a smartphone.” He loved this humorously sarcastic (讽刺的) email so much that he had it hung on his office wall. “It was honest, direct and probably accurate,” he said, “Give me a heartfelt message rather than a grammatically correct, AI generated message any day.” 1.What is the main idea of the passage? A. Google’s Olympic-themed advertisement for Gemini AI chatbot received criticism. B. Google’s Gemini AI chatbot was very popular during the 2024 Paris Olympic Games. C. AI-written fan letters are better than those written by humans. D. People should rely more on AI tools. 2.According to the passage, why did viewers criticize the advertisement? A. Because it showed a father who was not good with words. B. Because it underestimated AI’s ability to understand human emotions. C.

B 【解析】【导语】 这是一篇新闻报道。文章主要说明了谷歌的人工智能聊天机器人广告遭到了人们的批评，说明了背后的原因。 (1)题解析： 主旨大意题。通读全文，并根据第一段“During the 2024 Paris Olympic Games, Google made public an Olympic-themed advertisement to promote its Gemini AI chatbot. Surprisingly, the ad caused heated criticism, leading Google to remove it a week after its release.(在2024年巴黎奥运会期间，谷歌公开了以奥运为主题的广告，以推广其双子座人工智能聊天机器人。令人惊讶的是，这则广告引起了激烈的批评，导致谷歌在发布一周后将其删除)”可知，这篇文章的主旨是谷歌为双子座人工智能聊天机器人制作的奥运主题广告遭到了批评。故选A。 (2)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第三段“This description of the advertisement is misleading. As it overestimates AI’s ability to understand and convey nuances (细微差别) of human emotions and thoughts.(这种对广告的描述具有误导性。因为它高估了人工智能理解和传达人类情感和思想细微差别的能力)”可知，观众批评广告是因为它高估了人工智能传达人类情感和思想细微差别的能力。故选C。 (3)题解析： 词句猜测题。根据第四段“Palmer stressed that our use of language deeply shapes our reality. For example, you or I might refer to a color as “red”, but that same color might be labeled “scarlet” by an artist or “dark rose” by a designer.(帕尔默强调，我们对语言的使用深刻地塑造了我们的现实。例如，你或我可能把一种颜色称为“红色”，但同样的颜色可能被艺术家标记为“猩红色”，或被设计师标记为“深玫瑰色”)”可知，通过“红色”描述的例子，我们知道了语言的使用塑造了我们的现实，并反映了我们独特的视角。因此语言不仅仅是用来交流的，还能反映讲话人的独特视角。由此猜测，划线词意为“视角”，与viewpoint同义。故选C。 (4)题解析： 推理判断题。根据最后一段““It was honest, direct and probably accurate,” he said, “Give me a heartfelt message rather than a grammatically correct, AI generated message any day.”(他说：“这是诚实、直接和可能准确的，给我一个真诚的信息，而不是语法正确的人工智能生成的信息。”)”推知，Shelly Palmer 对AI生成的信息持批评态度。故选B。 主题语境03 人与自我-生活与学习 （25-26高一上·青海西宁第二中学·期中）What would you do to earn money if all you had was five dollars and two hours? This is the assignment (任务) I gave students in my very first course at the Stanford School. What would you do if you were given this challenge? When I asked this question to most groups, someone usually shouted out “Go to Las Vegas” or “Buy a lottery ticket”. This got a big laugh. These folks would take a significant risk in return for a small chance of earning a big reward. The next most common suggestion was to set up a car wash or lemonade stand, using the five dollars to purchase starting materials. This was a fine option for anyone interested in earning a few extra dollars of spending money in two hours. But most of the students eventually found a way to move far beyond the standard responses. They took seriously the challenge to question traditional assumptions, exposing a wealth of possibilities, in order to create as much value as possible. How did they do this? Here’s a clue: The teams that made the most money didn’t use the five dollars at all. They realized that focusing on the money actually framed the problem too tightly. They understood that five dollars is nearly nothing and decided to reinterpret (重新解读) the problem more broadly: What can you do to make money if you start with nothing? I count the Five-Dollar Challenge as a success in teaching students about thinking like an entrepreneur (企业家). In fact, they tapped into their talents and unlocked their creativity to identify problems — problems that they experienced or noticed others experiencing, or that they might have seen before but had never thought to solve. By discovering these problems and then working to solve them, the winning team brought in more than six hundred dollars, and the average rate of return on the five-dollar investment was 4 000 percent! If you take into account that many of the teams didn’t use the funds at all, then their financial returns were infinite (极大的). 1.What can we infer about the students who put forward the second most common suggestion? A. They are creative. B. They are practical. C. They like taking chances. D. They like trying new things. 2.What’s the author’s suggestion about his assignment? A. Ignoring the money. B. Getting some support. C. Raising more money. D. Asking for some advice. 3.How much did the students make with the five-dollar investment on average? A. 100 dollars. B. 200 dollars. C. 400 dollars. D. 600 dollars. 4.What’s the purpose of the author assignment for his students? A. To turn them into entrepreneurs. B. To help them make more money. C. To encourage them to think creatively. D. To create some opportunities for them. 【答案】1. B　2. A　3. B　4. C 【解析】【导语】 这是一篇夹叙夹议文。斯坦福教授给学生布置“5美元2小时赚钱”任务，多数学生跳出常规，部分未用初始资金，靠创造力赚高收益，任务旨在教会学生创造性思考。 (1)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第二段“The next most common suggestion was to set up a car wash or lemonade stand, using the five dollars to purchase starting materials. This was a fine option for anyone interested in earning a few extra dollars of spending money in two hours. (第二个最常见的建议是开洗车店或柠檬水摊，用这5美元购买启动材料。对于那些想在两小时内多赚点零花钱的人来说，这是个不错的选择。)”可知，提出这个建议的学生选择了利用现有资金、步骤明确且能快速获利的方式，体现了务实的特质。故选B项。 (2)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第三段“The teams that made the most money didn’t use the five dollars at all. They realized that focusing on the money actually framed the problem too tightly. They understood that five dollars is nearly nothing and decided to reinterpret (重新解读) the problem more broadly: What can you do to make money if you start with nothing? (赚得最多的团队根本没动用那5美元。他们意识到，过分关注这笔钱实际上会把问题框得太死。他们明白5美元几乎毫无价值，于是决定更宽泛地重新解读问题：如果一无所有，你能做些什么来赚钱？)”可知，作者通过成功案例暗示，完成任务的关键是忽略这5美元，跳出资金限制思考。故选A项。 (3)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第四段“By discovering these problems and then working to solve them, the winning team brought in more than six hundred dollars, and the average rate of return on the five-dollar investment was 4 000 percent! (通过发现这些问题并着力解决，获胜团队赚得超过600美元，而这5美元投资的平均回报率竟高达4000%！)”可知，平均收益计算为：5美元 ×4000% = 200美元。故选B项。 (4)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第四段“I count the Five-Dollar Challenge as a success in teaching students about thinking like an entrepreneur (企业家). In fact, they tapped into their talents and unlocked their creativity to identify problems-problems that they experienced or noticed others experiencing, or that they might have seen before but had never thought to solve. (我认为“5 美元挑战”成功教会了学生像企业家一样思考。事实上，他们充分发挥自身才能、激发创造力，从而发现了各类问题 —— 这些问题要么是他们自己经历过的、注意到他人正在遭遇的，要么是他们以前可能见过但从未想过要去解决的。)”可知，作者布置该任务的目的是鼓励学生创造性思考。故选C项。 / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
